OVERVIEW: This funder supports music education, music performance spaces and music collaborations. It gives special priority to the Greater Philadelphia area and provides program, operating, capital, emergency and scholarship support.
FUNDING AREAS: Financial aid for college and grad students, construction/renovations of music performance buildings, music teacher support, collaborations between music organizations, music groups in the Philadelphia area
IP TAKE: Some of Presser's grantmaking programs are more Philadelphia-specific than others. Local music groups have a good shot at general operating support for music education and capital support for construction or renovations of music performance spaces.
PROFILE: The Presser Foundation is based in Philadelphia and unique in that it is one of the very few private foundations in the U.S. solely dedicated to music education and music philanthropy. Theodore Presser was the publisher of Etude, a music magazine, and a philanthropist who established the Home for Retired Music Teachers in Philadelphia in 1906. The bulk of his fortune went to the Presser Foundation after his death in 1925.
Here’s a little background information provided by the Presser Foundation’s executive director, Teresa Araco Rodgers:
The Presser Foundation was formally established in 1939 under various deeds of trust of the late Theodore Presser. In the charter of incorporation, The Foundation’s purposes are set forth to promote primarily the cause of musical education and musical philanthropy as follows: to provide scholarships for promising students; to increase the value of music education by erecting suitable buildings; and to administer aid to worthy teachers of music in distress.
While The Foundation’s priorities have evolved over time, it has provided much needed funding to further the cause of music for over 75 years. It has been said that Theodore Presser wanted to give back to music what he had made from it. When he died in 1925, he left no children. He had been widowed twice, and the bulk of his fortune was left to The Foundation.
The small staff and Board of Trustees continue to oversee the work of The Foundation. The Foundation is fortunate to have had a founder who clearly stated the purpose which he desired to achieve. The Board of Trustees includes prominent local and national leaders in music. All Trustees share a passion for music and all are committed to carrying out the intentions of the benefactor.
These are the foundation’s five areas of grantmaking, and each one has its own set of deadlines.
Financial awards to promising undergraduate and graduate students at qualified higher education institutions
Grants for the construction and renovation of suitable buildings for musical instruction and performance
Emergency aid to worthy music teachers in distress
Support to innovative projects and collaborations between music organizations
Operating support to worthy music organizations in the Greater Philadelphia area
Proposal deadlines can be found on the Grantmaking page of the foundation website. Only nonprofit music performance, presenting or educational organizations located in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware or Maryland within a 100-mile radius of Philadelphia are eligible to apply. Another grantmaking program with this geographical preference is for the advancement of music, which has a proposal deadline of November 15 and supports general operations. Grants are also made locally for special projects, such as non-capital projects outside the scope of the normal operations of a music organization, collaborative efforts between organizations, and efforts that the trustees encourage or initiate through a request for proposals.

A bill seeking to prohibit the sale of electronic cigarettes and other alternative tobacco products to minors is making its way through the Florida Senate.
“I am encouraged to see that SB 224 continues to garner support in the Senate,” state Senate Majority Leader Lizbeth Benacquisto, R-Fort Myers, said in a statement. “The use of electronic cigarettes is becoming increasingly popular among Florida’s youth, and yet there are still no age restrictions at both the state and federal level on the purchase of these harmful products.”
“By regulating electronic cigarettes like other tobacco products,” she added, “Florida will be one step closer to preventing a new generation of nicotine addicts.”
The measure would include “electronic cigarettes under the current statute that prohibits minors from purchasing cigarettes and other tobacco products across the state,” according to the statement. The bill does not propose any changes to other tobacco or nicotine-related statutes.

Will a technological "revolution" promote better competition among Britain's High Street banks?
Professor André Spicer comments on the recommendations following a two-year inquiry by the Competition and Markets Authority
A package of measures aimed at paving the way for an ‘open banking revolution’ have been announced by the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA). The final report of the CMA’s retail banking market investigation, published today, concludes that older and larger banks do not have to compete hard enough for customers’ business, and smaller and newer banks find it difficult to grow. This means that many people are paying more than they should and are not benefiting from new services.
To tackle these problems, the CMA is implementing a wide-reaching package of reforms. Central to the CMA’s remedies are measures to ensure that customers benefit from technological advances and that new entrants and smaller providers are able to compete more fairly.
André Spicer is Professor of Organisational Behaviour at Cass Business School. In 2014, he authored the Culture of British Retail Banking Report - the first comprehensive review of progress in the entire sector since the financial crisis.
Professor Spicer comments:
“Competition in UK retail banking is a bit like world peace - it would be nice if it actually existed. For a century, UK retail banking has been dominated by a small handful of large banks. There has actually been a progressively more concentration in the market over time as large players have merged. After the 2008 financial crisis there was even greater consolidation. Every decade there is a scandal which means the public get angry, legislators say 'we need more competition', and then they launch a lengthy inquiry. Inevitably these inquiries start out promising a radical overhaul but end up recommending very minor tinkering. Usually they put their faith in the power of technology and new entrants to shake up the industry. But what ends up happening is the larger players grab more power.
“Small players are snapped up by the industry behemoths and the large players in the industry use technology to actually consolidate their market share. A movement towards more online offers could actually lead to greater consolidation in the market. This is what has happened in other markets like retail (amazon) and transportation (uber) with the move online.
“What's even more interesting is that these new smaller players don't necessarily drive up standards - they can actually drive down standards. This is what happened when many non-banks entered the market in the 1980s and 1990s. These were often the institutions like Northern Rock which played it fast and loose in the lead up to the financial crisis.
“The final problem with the CMAs recommendations is they are based on a model of human behaviour that only an economist could believe. It assumes customers spend their spare time scouring the market for the best deal on banks. But the reality is that customers are not interested in trading small savings for large investments in time. They also over value short term search costs and undervalue longer term savings”.

TALLAHASSEE — Florida Senate budget writers sent a message to the House and governor Wednesday: It’s time to start talking about new taxes.
They are prepared to increase cigarette taxes, eliminate sales tax exemptions, and even ask voters to raise the state sales tax a penny to pay for public education.
The Senate is so determined to get new money, it released its education budget Wednesday dependent on revenue from a new gambling agreement with the Seminole tribe and a promise of revenues from tax increases.
“I will not stand for any more reductions to classroom funding,’’ Senate President Jeff Atwater told activists from the League of Women Voters this week. He said he has told Senate leaders that when it comes to more cuts to schools: “You can’t go there again.’’
While the final list of Senate revenue increases is far from final, here’s what they’re discussing behind the scenes to make up the $3 billion budget deficit:
n $200 million in fee increases on everything from fishing shore-line licenses to motor-vehicle tags.
n $250 million in sales-tax exemption eliminations.
n $500 million to $700 million in new gambling-tax money from the first year of the Seminole Indian gaming compact and the plan to give electronic slot machine games to horse and dog tracks around the state. The proposal would raise $1 billion in the first full year.
n $700 million to $870 million from cigarette taxes.
n $200 million in increased beer-distributor taxes that could raise the cost of a six-pack by about 5 cents.
n $64 million from raising college tuition.
n Proposing a constitutional amendment that would give schools flexibility on class size requirements and raise the sales tax a penny on a ballot measure as early as this fall.
The Senate Pre-K-12 budget includes $208 million in revenue from the Seminole gaming compact while its higher education budget includes $80 million from the gambling money. Senate leaders said they still expect massive cuts in other parts of the budget but their goal is to draw down every penny in federal stimulus money they can get, and keep Florida attractive to new residents and companies.
While Gov. Charlie Crist is supportive of the $1 billion Senate gambling plan, he is not open to tax increases. “I’m certainly not warm and fuzzy about it,’’ he said this week. “This is not a time to take more from our fellow Floridians.’’
The House’s approach to the budget has been markedly different. A House committee has proposed rolling back gaming on Seminole Tribe reservations by taking away their blackjack games, and House leaders have no plans to rely on new gambling revenue or tax increases in its first proposed budget.
“The quick thing to do is just simply raise revenue,’’ said Rep. Ellyn Bogdanoff, the Fort Lauderdale Republican who chairs the Finance and Tax Council. She is willing to resist as long as it takes, even if it sends lawmakers into an overtime session past May 1.
“If you come to me and say, ‘Do you want to have a longer session or do you want to raise taxes?’ I’ll take the longer session,’’ she said.
The Senate, however, is prepared to duke it out.
“Our job is to make courageous decisions now to prevent the pain index and the damage that can be done from excessive cuts and loss in public services and quality of life,’’ said Sen. Thad Altman, chairman of the Senate Finance and Tax Committee. “When the pain index gets to a point where the problems become much more complicated, much more acute, they’re actually much more expensive to fix.’’
Next week, Altman’s committee will begin the debate over which tax exemptions to eliminate.
The Senate is expected to pass a $1 per pack increase in the state’s cigarette tax, which is now at 34 cents per pack and is one of the lowest in the nation. Senate committees are also planning to discuss closing corporate income tax loopholes and removing sales tax exemptions on bottled water, charter fishing boats, Super Bowl tickets and other “luxury” items.
On Thursday, Senate committees will hear proposals to raise several fees.
Over in the House, taxes have always been a dirty word, where it is a Republican rite of passage to sign Grover Norquist’s no taxes pledge.
Bogdanoff and other leaders view the budget crisis as an opportunity to streamline state government, eliminating duplicate services and agencies.
Despite her stance, Bogdanoff thinks a few sales tax exemptions, such as the one on bottled water, will be repealed. The $43 million it would raise, however, will barely touch the deficit.
House Speaker Larry Cretul has been making the same anti-tax case to lobbyists who visit him daily, seeking a way to stave off cuts to schools, hospitals and other services.
Andy Ford, president of the teachers union, urged Cretul to support a temporary sales tax increase, 1 cent for three years, to cover the shortfall in education funding caused by dropping property values. Statewide, values are down about 12 percent, or $219 billion, meaning schools will collect nearly $1 billion less next year and a 1 cent increase will raise $2.9 billion annually.
“There is no one in the House who looks forward to making any further cuts to education,’’ Cretul told him. “Whatever we do will have minimal impact. Minimal.”

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how to cope with all the happenings taking place in the world today. And not just on the global or national scale (which, of course, are heavy enough) but, all the things that are happening day to day, month to month, to each of us. Life, by nature, challenges us – pushes us to overcome on a daily basis. Teaches us how to cope (or not cope) and forces us to keep moving forward because we have no choice. Time goes on, days go by, you wake up, you go to work, you go to sleep and then wake up to do it all over again. It’s an unavoidable cycle that, if you’re not careful, can slip by you in infinite time and the next thing you know you wake up at 37 and wonder how the hell you got here so quickly.
Finding purpose is something that I have admittedly struggled with. But I think that’s OK. I think that part of the journey of life is discovering and re-discovering purpose. Re-discovering self. Growing up I had a purpose – horses. In college I had a purpose. At least, the kind of purpose a 20 y/o woman surrounded by powerful, ambitious and brilliant women has. A purpose that I still tap into. With my ex, I had a purpose – a life, a love, a family and a future. In the years since then it’s been much less clear.
I used to use this blog as an opportunity to process. To share. To put what I am feeling on the inside out into the world, with the hope that someone would hear it – or that I would be heard. I used to sit in front of my computer late at night bursting with thoughts and feelings that I felt compelled to get out. And then I would go through phases where I’d grow silent. Repression, maybe? Avoidance – more likely. At times I thought perhaps I had healed what needed healing and had nothing left to say. Other times, I thought to myself that perhaps I just had nothing left to feel.
Today I feel compelled to write again. I’ve been thinking about it a lot lately and have known for quite some time that the day was imminent that I would feel this unyielding need to sit in front of my computer and write again – and not because it was my job or someone was telling me to do it. But, because I feel this insatiable need to do it, to get it out there and to share it with others. Perhaps it’s because I’ve reached an emotional place where I know I’m not alone and want to feel the support of my community around me. Perhaps it’s because I think I have something to offer to those who are in a similar space. Or, perhaps it’s because I’ve come to accept some things about myself and my life, my career and my situation, that have forced me to opened up again and to share.
I experienced something quite remarkable last night (something that I will go into detail on in a future post) but the essence of what it taught me is that in order for my life and my energy to flow, I need to find my voice and to express it. To find my joy and to share it with others. I could sit here and go into an over-analysis of my astrology charts, numerology, colorstrology, birthday charts, aura, energies, etc., but that might seem boring and a little new age for most of you. The important thing that I know and have learned about myself through this is that I have a deep, deep empathy for others – one that has, at times, led me to have premonitions or a telepathic connection (yeah, I know. sounds crazy! – and for yet another post) – and a desire to influence happiness and positivity in others. I give more of myself than is healthy at times, but that is a choice that I make conciously and willingly. I also harbor emotions too strongly and too deeply, and that has often closed a door around my heart that is hard to reopen. But that’s OK. That’s life. That’s learning and that is progress. I also know that I can comfort people just by being in their presence. That I am often a rock in an otherwise chaotic life. And that fills me with joy and a sense of purpose.
So… this leads me to the purpose of this post. The last couple of years have been very tumultuous in my life – relationships, cancer, work. And the last six months have been particularly challenging at work. We have been in the midst of many changes, much of which have a direct impact on me, my team and the work that we do. It’s unsettling, and frustrating and infuriating, at times. After months of resistence to it I was able to realize that the negativity was not going to change or solve anything. Only make it harder to cope – harder to move on. So I have been working the last few months to create positive energy at work. To give some of my (sometimes exasperating) sense of optimism back to my team. It may sound silly but, I have created a white board where I’ve asked that we write, draw or attach the joy that we want to find in our work that day. The comments range from silly to serious, inside jokes to personal experiences. My intention is to help everyone find a reason to laugh, a reason to smile, a reason to think to themselves that things aren’t as bad as they feel right now.
This doesn’t mean things aren’t bad. And it certainly doesn’t mean that the feelings we are feeling and the experiences we are having – with work, with life, with politics, with humanity – aren’t valid. It just means that there is also much to appreicate in the world. There is much to love and much to find joy in. And in order to be our best selves, to find the courage and the strength to change the wrongs, to find our purpose – we must fuel it with joy… with appreciation. With love. With compassion.
And so I am challenging myself (and any of those who wish to join) to take a journey with me – to post something every day for 365 days that is beautiful… that you find joy, happiness or laughter in. Something you appreciate and/or love. Something that inspires you. Repeat posts are OK, because this journey is for you, not me or anyone else. We are just here to support you. And if you miss a day, that’s OK too, because there is no judgement here. No competition. No failure. This is for you. This is for me. This is what I feel compelled to do to keep my focus and to keep moving forward. Perhaps, to move beyond.
Use the hashtag #beautyineveryday and let’s begin…
My Day 1 selection is for the women in my life: past, present and future. When I had the idea I decided to go through all my facebook photos and pull pics of me with the women I love, who have touched me and inspired me. In doing so I found myself feeling overwhelmed with pride and joy – and the recognition that I have been fortunate to have been touched by so many remarkable women who have grounded and shaped me, and served as role models for the woman that I hope to be. There is so much joy and laughter in these photos. As well as happiness free of the gravity of sadness, uncertainty, unknowns. They remind me just how much love, kindness and passion there is in the world. All of which I hope to tap into on this journey. They remind me of the hope that I have.
So my beauty in the world today is all of you. You wonderful, gentle, inspirational, powerful women.

#2 Realizing that I need thermometers for my first two pots (I mean who cares what exact temp the BK is at as long as its boiling, right?) I was wondering if there was a reason why more people don't use digital thermometers like this - http://www.amazon.com/CDN-DTQ450X-ProAccurate-Quick-Read-Thermometer/dp/B0021AEAG2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1340630745&sr=8-1&keywords=digital+meat+thermometer
- with a NPT to probe compresson setup over the dial thermometers. Is it just that folks think the dial thermos look nicer or is there a functional reason?
#3 Any good arguments for or against having a sight gauge on the MLT (as opposed to just the HLT) I was figuring that if I know what I have for strike water in the HLT, and then just transfer that and the I know what I have for sparge water, then I am always gonna know what is going to be in the MLT... but I suppose that doesn't account for liquid being left behind, which leads me to
#4 Dip tubes - all three kettles? I have kettle screens for my MLT and BK so using dip tubes would necessitate a change in that. I could use one easily for the HLT since it has no screen. Or do I just accept some loss of liquid (whether it be water or wort)?
If anyone could help me out with these questions / has any suggestions that would be awesome. Thanks for the time everyone.
#1 I would retighten the connection and use a bunch of pipe dope. I used this stuff without any problems: http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1v/R-100144191/h_d2/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10053&langId=-1&keyword=thread+sealant&storeId=10051
Are you using pipe wrenches? I never have a problem with them slipping.
#2 Dial thermos are a little more resilient. Most can take higher sustained temps than their plastic counterparts. Personally, I'm going to be using digital on my MT and HLT to be as exact as possible. The alternative is to use all dial thermos to get temps in the ball park, then get the exact reading with a digital.
#3 Some people like to heat the mash water in the MT and the sparge in the HLT at the same time. A sight in the MT will let you measure properly in both vessels. Honestly though, I don't see significant benefits.
#4 Yes, based on your pot design, I'd put dip tubes on everything.

THE STUDY OF VARIABILITY OF SOME OF THE PRODUCTION ELEMENTS IN THE AUTUMN OAT FROM S.C. D. A. LOVRIN PUBLISHEDAndreea BULAI1, I. TOMA1, D. RECHIȚEAN1, C. BUZNA1, Marcela DRAGOȘ1, Anca PANDA1 None email@example.com
The present paper analyzes the descriptors of the productivity elements, the mass of one thousand grains (MMB) and the length of panicle for 15 autumn oat genotypes, created and tested under pedoclimatic area conditions from S.C.D.A. Lovrin. Between the studied genotypes there are very significant differences with reference of the length of the panicle, respectively of the one thousand grains , with a very large amplitude of variation. The biometric analysis of 14 autumn oat lines and an homologate Sorin variety, used as a control with reference to the length of panic and the one thousand grains. The data were aggregated on an agricultural year. In this case, a number of 10 plants of each studied line was studied, and the results were compared with the control variety. In terms of climatic conditions, the agricultural year 2017/2018 was a favorable year for autumn oat crops. The following lines Lv 2502, Lv 2503, Lv 2505, Lv 2510, Lv 2511, Lv 2513, Lv 2514 have been shown to have values statistically ensured as very significant, showing increases between 18.4 and 32.4% versus the witness Sorin, respectively a difference of 3.8 - 6.7 cm. With reference to MMB from the determinations analyzed, the lines Lv 2504, Lv 2513, which showed an increase of 18.5% and 14.3%, with a difference of 5.1 - 6.6g compared to the Sorin witness variety, very statistically significant values. For the two characters studied, the length of the panicle and the MMB, in the lines Lv 2504, Lv 2511, Lv 2513 recorded significant positive differences compared to the control variety. The study of the correlation between the length of panicle and the mass of one thousand grains for the 14 analyzed lines and the control variety, Sorin, show that there is a positive linear correlation between the two studied elements.

The Dodson Ranch consists of 640+/- acres of western South Dakota prairie. Approximately 160 acres of the ranch have historically been used as productive dryland hay ground. The remainder of the ranch is made up of native western grasses. There are three livestock dugout/dams on the property providing runoff water. The ranch is flanked on the South and East sides completely by well-maintained county gravel roads, though, it’s only a short 1.7-mile distance to black top road. The small town of Caputa, South Dakota which is a short 4.5 miles from the property, lies toward the eastern edge of Pennington County (second most populated county in South Dakota). The majority of the community commutes to Rapid City for commerce, which is 10 straight miles on highway 44. The Dodson ranch is a property that sits on the edge of growth from the ever-expanding area, adding an attractive component of developmental possibilities to the area.

Salma Hayek is busy. Ironic, considering the Mexican actress was once told she wouldn’t work after 35. Now, having just celebrated her 52nd birthday, Hayek is gearing up for the release of The Hummingbird Project at the Toronto International Film Festival on Saturday—in which she plays a bleached blonde Wall Street shark—and just received the Franca Sozzani Award in Venice, alongside her husband François-Henri Pinault, who recently surprised her with a vows renewal in Bora Bora.
“I was completely shocked,” said Hayek, kicking off her diamond-encrusted stilettos to take a seat at the Palazzo Grassi theater in Venice. “First thing I thought was, I would have worn something different.”
Hayek was in Venice this past week for the premiere of Yugen, an art film she stars in. Directed by Martha Fiennes, this non-narrative short lifts its title from the Japanese word, which denotes the appreciation of beauty and art. Part coding and part CGI, it’s an experimental dive into a mystical underworld that allowed the Frida star to unleash her inner performance artist.
“It’s a conceptual art piece showing the architecture behind a woman,” said Hayek. “Working with the abstract was very freeing.”
Though Hayek has had minor performance-art roles in the past, it’s the first time she has worked with a woman artist. “It was the most intense one, for sure,” she said.
“I think, inside, every woman is a mystic,” she continued. “We create life inside of our bodies, and I think the relationship with creation has a lot to do with magic and mysticism.”
Known for her ball-busting New York Times op-ed about Harvey Weinstein, and for her role in the gender parity protest at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year, Hayek puts her own selves in this artwork: The Salma she presents to the public, and the Salma she is behind the scenes.
“I always complained people couldn’t see who I really am,” she said. “They see such a small fraction. Some are intrigued; what’s behind?”
Entering the screen in a seductive saunter that takes us back to Desperado, the actress offers many roles in Yugen that are rather surreal, from a virgin bride to a devilish mistress to a black-clad shaman who summons spirits.
With costumes designed by Fiennes, she wears feathers, gold bling, and a Tim Burton–esque headpiece, not to mention a red silk dress and matching corset. “The whole process was crazy,” said Hayek. “We would start one archetype, then mess it up, adding stuff to go against it. Sometimes, I had such heavy clothing I couldn’t walk.”
Each archetype on the screen is chosen by an AI-programmed algorithm, which randomly selects them like tarot cards. More painting than video art, Hayek looked inward for this role.
“Martha took me onto this journey of all the archetypes of women and how women have been underestimated,” she said. “What are the untold stories of our own magic?”
The supernatural might confuse some, but risk-taking is essential to art, according to Hayek. “In the industry of the imagination, very few people take chances,” she explained. “In art, people take a lot less chances with women. That’s the truth. Especially if they are coming from another profession.”
The experience has inspired Hayek, who runs her own production company, to make her own surrealist film. “I have one dream project I’ve been working on for 13 years,” she said. “A movie I wrote and want to direct, to do with technology and the subconscious. It’s very visual. This project is giving me courage to pursue it.”

It seems that every week in the world of vegan food news is more exciting than the last, and this week is no exception. Before we head full force into the holiday season, we must pause for a second for National Sandwich Day. Thankfully vegan deli meat company Prime Roots has a great giveaway to celebrate.
When it comes to holiday beverages, this year we’re spoiled for choice with a returning favorite (Misunderstood Whiskey Co.’s Hard Oat Nog) and a newcomer (Califia Farms’ Matcha Almond Latte).
Plus, dessert chain Milk Bar has a special sweet treat this year that pairs perfectly with whichever beverage you choose. Read on for more.
1National Sandwich Day, the vegan way
Today isn’t just any Friday: it’s National Sandwich Day and the good folks over at Prime Roots—which make delicious vegan deli slices—have conjured up the best way to celebrate.
The company will offer rebates for 1,000 free sandwiches made with its koji-based meats at select delis, grocers, and sandwich shops in the San Francisco Bay Area, Portland, OR, and New York City.
The company has collaborated with award-winning chefs to develop a range of vegan deli meats, including variations like cracked pepper turkey, black forest ham, salami, and pepperoni.
These products are designed to replicate the taste and texture of traditional meats and are free from nitrates, hormones, antibiotics, cholesterol, and top nine allergens. They are also non-GMO and gluten-free.
“Every day is Sandwich Day at Prime Roots and now is the time to try plant-based deli cuts for an easy swap from conventional animal meat on your favorite sandwich,” Kimberlie Le, co-founder and CEO of Prime Roots, said in a statement.
“Consumers want tasty, clean, and planet-friendly options and fresh, sliced-to-order is always best when it comes to making the most delicious sandwiches,” Le said.
Customers can sign up and redeem this offer through Prime Roots’ website, and a photo of the receipt is required for reimbursement up to $18.99.
2Korean vegan jerky
If you’re craving more meaty news, Korean company Unlimeat has just the thing with the return of its toothsome vegan jerky. Back on Amazon nearly a year after the product sold out, the jerky comes in two flavors: Korean BBQ and Smoky Chili. Developed with soy protein, the snack aims to mimic the taste and texture of traditional animal-based jerky.
Nutritionally, this vegan jerky offers 31 grams of protein per bag, similar to traditional beef jerky, and contains no trans-fat or cholesterol. The product is colored with natural ingredients such as beets and pomegranates and avoids artificial seasonings. It caters to various dietary preferences, including low-carb and paleo diets.
The relaunch comes as the jerky market, estimated to be worth $6.5 billion globally by 2027, faces challenges related to processed beef and artificial ingredients.
“We are thrilled to be back on Amazon with our upgraded gourmet jerky,” an Unlimeat spokesperson said in a statement. “We dedicated additional time to testing and developing a safer and healthier product.”
“We hope that not only people on plant-based diets but also meat lovers can savor our jerky,” the spokesperson said.
Priced at $28.99 per box of six packs, the jerky is now double-packaged for added stability and is enclosed in an aluminum pouch for protection against sunlight and moisture.
3Milk Bar’s new PB Crunch Pie
Milk Bar, a bakery chain founded by pastry guru Christina Tosi, has introduced a new vegan and gluten-free option to its national offerings: the Chocolate Peanut Butter Crunch Pie. A brand long associated with innovative desserts such as Compost Cookies and Cereal Milk, Milk Bar continues to stretch its creative boundaries with this new offering.
Following the Tosi ethos of being “relentless to a fault,” the Chocolate Peanut Butter Crunch Pie is crafted with a mix of high-quality ingredients such as creamy peanut butter, rice cereal, and cocoa paste.
The pie features a smooth chocolate shell filled with a crunchy combination of peanut butter and toasted rice cereal, topped off with a salty-sweet chocolate-peanut coating.
The Chocolate PB Crunch Pie reflects Tosi’s personality as an “overachiever” and a “giver,” presenting a pie that is vegan and gluten-free but uncompromising in taste and texture.
With the new vegan offering, Tosi—who says she “believes in sharing more of the hilarious, magical, rule-breaking world”—has extended Milk Bar’s appeal to a broader audience while staying true to its commitment to quality and creativity.
The vegan Chocolate PB Crunch Pie ($53, plus shipping and handling) is available for delivery nationwide through the Milk Bar store website.
4Hard oat nog
Milk and eggs in eggnog are out. What’s in? Oat milk and a good dose of booze, according to Misunderstood Whiskey Co., maker of America’s only vegan Hard Oat Nog—which is back this year after its sell-out success last holiday season.
“We’re thrilled to relaunch our seasonal dairy-free hard Oat Nog and continue to redefine holiday celebrations to be more inclusive for those with dietary preferences,” J.D. Recobs, co-founder of Misunderstood Whiskey Co., said in a statement.
The ready-to-drink beverage was first introduced in the fall of 2022 and contains 14 percent alcohol by volume. Created to cater to consumers with various dietary restrictions, including those who are dairy-free, gluten-free, egg-free, and nut-free, the Hard Oat Nog uses Misunderstood’s Ginger Spiced Whiskey and sustainably sourced oat milk as its base ingredients.
Misunderstood Whiskey Co.
“We completely sold out last year so we’re happy to have increased our production and make holiday entertaining easy by providing a delicious beverage that both dairy and non-dairy guests can enjoy,” Chris Buglisi, co-founder of Misunderstood Whiskey Co., said in a statement.
The Hard Oat Nog is available for a limited time in select retailers and online for $23.99.
5Califia Farms’ new matcha latte
As soon as we heard that Califia Farms launched a new Matcha Almond Latte, we ran to Target, where the green-hued beverage is stocked alongside other Califia favorites in the refrigerator section.
This new beverage is made with a blend of creamy almond milk and indulgent matcha green tea powder and is quite versatile. You can pour it over ice, blend it into a smoothie, froth it up into a hot drink, or incorporate it into a dessert—we think vegan matcha cheesecakes might be in the works.
Plus, this ready-to-drink format means no matcha whisk is required to get the full experience. We’re just hoping that adding matcha to the holiday drink rotation won’t make our peppermint or gingerbread lattes too mad.

This online Dementia Awareness training course increases your knowledge of dementia and its effects, as well as relevant legislation to ensure your organisation is fully compliant.
This course is:
Our Dementia Awareness online training is designed for those working with people with dementia, any care worker or healthcare professional. It covers how dementia affects individuals, the importance of good communication and the methods to improve the wellbeing of people with dementia. Upon successful completion, learners will be certified in dementia and receive a downloadable or printable certificate in dementia care!
There are currently 850,000 people suffering from dementia in the UK alone and numbers are set to increase to over one million by 2025. Caring for someone with dementia can be challenging and stressful. With the right support, however, it can be rewarding and often satisfying. Avoid issues and misunderstandings which could negatively impact your organisation. Ensure your staff handle dementia patients in a sensitive and understanding manner.
Take a look at our Dementia Awareness course screenshots below. If you would like to see more of the course features before you enrol, book a free demo here with our training specialists.
It is important that anyone working with or around people who have dementia has an understanding of what it is. Here are some of the questions that our training specialists hear on a regular basis.
If you have any more questions, get in touch and we will be happy to help!
Become certified today and enrol on our Dementia Awareness training course. It covers the below questions in more depth!
Dementia is a term for memory loss and difficulties with problem-solving, language and thinking. Dementia can become severe enough to affect daily life and may also change moods or behaviours.
Some people may question whether dementia is a mental illness, but it isn't. It's a condition or disorder of the brain.
Our Dementia Awareness course covers the term in more detail and how it can affect individuals in different ways.
The most significant symptom of dementia is memory loss. This can become progressively worse as the person develops through the 7 stages of dementia. Other signs and symptoms include becoming disorientated or confused, struggling to follow conversations and experiencing mood swings. The 7 stages of dementia are explained below.
The 7 stages of dementia are:
Stage 1 – Normal behaviour with regular cognitive function. No symptoms such as memory loss. Whilst changes in the brain may occur in stage 1, the person does not have dementia.
Stage 2 - Forgetfulness or memory loss may present themselves in stage 2 dementia, however, it tends not to be noticed by others.
Stage 3 - At this stage, close family and friends begin to observe signs of dementia, as the person starts to lose and/or forget things more frequently, and may also become disorientated.
Stage 4 – Whilst someone in stages 1,2 or 3 of dementia have shown no or mild signs of cognitive decline, from stage 4 they start to demonstrate symptoms of more moderate decline, as daily life becomes more difficult. Stage 4 can last around two years.
Stage 5 - The cognitive decline of somebody with stage 5 dementia is moderate to severe and loved ones taking care of them may require more help. Whilst they might be unable to remember things such as their phone number or address, they still tend to recognise family and friends. Stories and facts from their long-term memory, from their childhood, for example, can still be recalled in stage 5 dementia.
Stage 6 - By stage 6, the person with dementia will require extensive support and bladder and bowel control may decline, requiring continence care. Changes in personality and behaviour may also occur with stage 6 dementia.
Stage 7 - The most severe stage of dementia, people at this stage have problems with their ability to speak and communicate, and require constant care as they lose psychomotor skills, which affect their ability to control their movement.
There are several types of dementia, the most common of which is Alzheimer’s Disease. Other forms of dementia include Vascular Dementia, Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB), Parkinson's Disease, Huntington’s Disease, Mixed Dementia, Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD), Huntington's Disease, Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus, and Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome.
To find out more about the different dementia types, enrol on our Dementia Awareness training course.
Dementia is the general term for a decline in cognitive ability. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia.
Dementia already affects over 850,000 people in the UK alone, with 1 in 6 people over 80 years of age suffering from this condition. As life expectancy in the UK increases, so does the risk of dementia to the older generation. Learning about Dementia Awareness and how to reduce the risk is, therefore, important for everybody.
Early onset dementia is when dementia first occurs in a person under the age of 65. It can also be known as young onset dementia.
Due to dementia being associated with old age, early symptoms of early onset/young onset dementia aren’t always recognised and can be missed, leading to a negative impact on the person’s life. It’s important your care workers know the signs and symptoms to be able to give them the appropriate support. Ensure they know how to spot them and enrol your staff on our Dementia Awareness training course today!
The most common form of dementia is Alzheimer, but there are many kinds of dementia, including Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, Lewy Body Dementia, Down Syndrome and Alzheimer’s Disease, Frontotemporal Dementia, Huntington’s Disease, Mixed dementia, Parkinson’s Disease Dementia and many more.
Our online Dementia Awareness course can be completed anytime, anywhere, at your own pace. You’ll also receive full customer support from your dedicated account manager and support team.Study when you want

As a teaching artist, Packard admires Tate’s willingness to embrace contemporary platforms of display to connect young viewers with the Tate Collection.
Brooklyn, New York (PRWEB) May 13, 2014
Selected for their powerful graphic qualities, PD Packard’s prints, the EXPRESSION and MIND is idea + idea is BODY, are currently being featured in Tate Britain’s installation, Pattern, Graphics, Print. Throughout the month of May, Packard’s prints will be shown digitally on screens presented along side the original artworks of Sir Eduardo Paolozzi from the Tate collection.
Curated by Tate Collective London, the installation is part of Source Spotlight Display, a program developed for young creatives, 15–25 years, to create, experiment and engage with the Tate Collection at Tate Britain and Tate Modern. Using 21st-century digital and social media platforms such as Tumblr and Instagram, Source presents large numbers of images in a single location. As a teaching artist, Packard admires Tate’s willingness to embrace these contemporary platforms of display to connect specifically young viewers with the Tate Collection. Through teaching, Packard has found that when engaging children in the visual culture of art, even problematic children become calm and self-assured.
In addition, Packard’s print, Shift Of Thought, is now on view in the exhibit, STRUCTURE, at the Printmaking Center of New Jersey. Curated by Agnés Murray, the exhibit runs until June 7, 2014.

East Riding of Yorkshire, or simply East Yorkshire, is a local government district with unitary authority status, and a ceremonial county of England. There are few large settlements and no industrial centres. The area is administered from the ancient market and ecclesiastical town of Beverley.
East Yorkshire district is split into three parts. The Wolds area takes the form of an elevated, gently rolling plateau, cut by numerous deep, steep-sided, flat-bottomed valleys of glacial origin. The Holderness landscape is dominated by deposits of till, boulder clays and glacial lake clays. These were deposited during the Devensian glaciation.
The western part of the landscape is generally low lying and flat although minor ridges and glacial moraines provide some variations in topography.
Things to do
This lovely corner of England boasts a cosmopolitan city, colourful seaside resorts, a jaw-dropping coastline and miles and miles of tranquil countryside.
As you'd expect from this part of Yorkshire, you can still experience a real seaside holiday here. Donkey rides and fun fairs... beach front cafes and ice cream parlours... sea-fresh crab sandwiches and fish 'n' chips...innocent holidays that the family will remember for ever.
Pretty villages, with quaint houses, village ponds, and relaxing country inns surround Beverley and the other market towns here in East Yorkshire, all with a history and distinction of their own.


Victorian Comprehensive Cancer Centre – Surveying and Spatial Solutions
The Victorian Comprehensive Cancer Centre (VCCC) is a $1 Billion project consolidating research and treatment of cancer into one facility, built on the former Parkville Melbourne Dental Hospital’s site.
We were engaged by Grocon to undertake its complete construction control including monitoring of the entire structure.
A major slippage occurred at the site opening up in the adjacent roadways causing a suspension of all works. This meant the site required 24/7 monitoring.
Installing a 24/7 monitoring regime capable of progressively supplying results to engineers was extremely challenging. However our solution response occurred just 2-3 hours following the problem’s detection.
Woolpert established monitoring points on the retention system providing 24-hour surveying with results required hourly to determine the size and rate of movement. This continued for two weeks, was extremely labour intensive and costly for our client.
The long-term solution involved complete results automation regarding undue movements. The system included Leica “GeoMos” software, establishing a stable base station, and telemetry and hardware. External control marks were established on surrounding buildings with 50 monitoring targets placed on the retention system recording approx. 100 readings across each 24-hour period.
This monitoring system showcased the benefits of using surveying and spatial solutions in a challenging environment. The client, government, engineers and other stakeholders were provided with real time safe, reliable and timely results while decision-making abilities were also enhanced.

I just bought a USB 2.0 Multi in One Card Reader for SD MMC SDHC. I possess three SD cards: an 8 GB, a 2 GB and a 32 MB. When I insert the 8 and 32 into the multi in one while it is plugged into a USB port, the drive shows up in Microsoft Windows Explorer. Alternatively, I could remove either of them from the multi in one slot and put it directly in my laptop's SD card slot and either one shows up in Windows explorer. However, when I insert my 2 GB in the multi in one card reader SD card slot, it does not show up in windows explore. When I insert the 2 GB directly in my laptop's SD card slot, it shows up. However, I am unable to delete files from it when it is in the laptop's SD card slot. Il.e., when I right click there is no option between create shortcut and rename. Oddly all three cards are fully functional within my camera. I.e., I can delete directly from the camera or I can connect to the laptop by USB and delete from the camera. What gives?

For Australian filmmaker Unjoo Moon, there is a bright side to all the troubling revelations about sexual abuse that have emerged in recent weeks. Each new allegation against a powerful figure makes her new film even more relevant.
Moon is gearing up to shoot what she calls an inspiring bio-pic about trailblazing Australian singer Helen Reddy, called I Am Woman after the famous hit song from 1972.
She believes its powerful lyrics ("I am woman, hear me roar, in numbers too big to ignore") can be a galvanising force for women after the #metoo movement revelations, just as they were when Reddy became the first Australian-born singer to have a number one hit in the US.
"It's a film for this time," Moon said. "It's got great messages for everybody."
In Australia to scout locations, she has cast rising talent Tilda Cobham-Hervey (The Kettering Incident) as Reddy with Danielle Macdonald (Patti Cake$) as rock journalist Lillian Roxon.
Producer Rosemary Blight (The Sapphires) said Reddy, who is reportedly in a Los Angeles nursing facility at the age of 76, and her family had been advising on the film.
The idea for the bio-pic came when Moon, who lives in Los Angeles with her Oscar-winning cinematographer husband Dion Beebe, sat next to Reddy at an awards ceremony and they spoke for two hours about her life.
"When I started listening to her story, even though it was about the '70s and really captured that moment, it felt so utterly relevant to me as a woman," she said.
The film will cover Reddy's move from Australia to the US on the promise of a recording contract that never eventuated.
Despite being a single mother who initially struggled to pay the rent, she became one of the world's highest paid entertainers at a time when a woman could not get a credit card or a mortgage in her own name.
I Am Woman became an anthem for the women's movement, with the single selling more than a million copies.
"We're capturing the spirit of what writing the song was about and the relationships she had along the way," Moon said. "And the film is about the rise and fall of the women's movement as well."
At 23, Cobham-Hervey knew little about Reddy before taking on the role.
"My dad used to play I Am Woman all the time at home," she said. "It's a big thing to take on someone's life story and I feel very honoured. Learning about her life has been such a joy."
Like many others, Cobham-Hervey has been stunned by the revelations of sexual harassment and abuse in the entertainment industry.
"I've been quite overwhelmed and there have definitely been stories that I've been quite shocked by or disappointed by," she said. "But everyone has sort of known about it, whether they want to admit it to themselves, for a very long time. It's a great thing to be a part of being able to change that."
The famous song has started taking over Cobham-Hervey's life.
"I've being doing a play in Adelaide and I've been riding my bike and listening to Helen's songs every day, " she said. "I got busted the other day singing along – really going for it when I thought no-one was around."

10 productions. 4 world premieres. All Live! And, In Person.
LONDON, ON, April 19, 2022 – Following two seasons of darkened stages, restricted interactions and limited live theatre, London’s Grand Theatre is proud to lift the curtain on its 2022/23 season - unveiling a full return to the stage with ten powerful productions, four world premieres and an exhilarating five-concert series from Jeans ’n Classics.
“This year, for our 2022/23 Season, we’re going to do something bold,” announces Grand Theatre Artistic Director, Dennis Garnhum. “We are going to come together and experience extraordinary theatre…LIVE! And, In Person.”
With a renewed commitment to staging original, inclusive and provocative theatre, while fostering inter-community connectedness, the Grand’s new season will celebrate one simple – but powerful – phrase: Live! And In Person. Running September 2022 through May 2023, the momentous season is comprised of four world premieres, a historic partnership of five Canadian theatres, the return of the most popular holiday show in Grand Theatre history and a playbill that is rife with musical content honouring London’s new designation as a UNESCO City of Music.
In honour of one of Broadway’s greatest composers, the late Stephen Sondheim, the Grand’s renowned youth mentorship program, the High School Project (HSP) proudly opens the season’s playbill on the Spriet Stage with Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s Tony Award-winning musical, Into the Woods. Notable Canadian actor (last seen in Mirvish’s hit musical Come From Away), creator and director, Saccha Dennis takes on the role of director for this beloved production that reminds audiences to “be careful what you wish for.”
Creaking open the door to the subscription series on the Spriet Stage, just in time for Halloween, is the world premiere of Grand Ghosts. The music-filled play is written by award-winning Canadian writer, Trina Davies (Silence 2018) and directed by notable Canadian Director, Jillian Keiley. Developed through the Grand’s COMPASS New Play Development Program, this haunting, immersive and vaudeville-inspired piece endeavours to answer one of London’s – and Canada’s – biggest unsolved mysteries: what really happened to Ambrose J. Small?
“The Grand Theatre is known to be one of the most beautiful theatres in our country. But, what many people don’t know is the extraordinary history, and the eerie story, that lives within the walls of the theatre. It’s a story of intrigue, uncanny mystery and – of course – ghosts,” remarks playwright Trina Davies.
Back by overwhelming demand is the most popular holiday show in Grand history: ELF – The Musical. Directed by Dennis Garnhum, this new interpretation of a beloved holiday classic is sure to uplift and delight audiences, while continuing the tradition of many families who make an annual pilgrimage to the Grand during the holiday season. For the sixth consecutive year, in conjunction with the holiday production, the Grand will be asking its audiences to help raise funds to support the Business Cares program of the London Food Bank.
The Grand rings in the New Year with a celebration of one of Canada’s most influential Civil Right’s Activists in Andrea Scott’s award-winning play, Controlled Damage – directed by critically-acclaimed Canadian director and choreographer, Ray Hogg. The play was originally scheduled to premiere during the Grand’s 2021/22 season, but was postponed to January 2023 in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Following a sold-out run at the Neptune Theatre in Halifax in 2020, the Grand will be the second theatre in the country, the first in Ontario, to stage this powerful production by the London-born, Scott.
“The Grand was the theatre where I saw my first play,” fondly recalls Scott. “When Controlled Damage was invited to be a part of the Grand’s season, it felt like a real homecoming for me. I couldn’t be prouder.”
Following the success of BOOM, the award-winning, multi-talented Rick Miller returns to the Grand in February as writer, director, and actor in BOOM X. In an explosive solo performance, Miller utilizes a variety of multi-media elements to bring the music, culture and politics of Generation X to life – in a way you have never seen it before. Called “one of the 100 most creative people alive today” by Entertainment Weekly, Miller’s time capsule performance offers a blast from the past for audiences of all ages to enjoy.
?The Grand welcomes the season of spring with a show that honours the elements of the earth and the universal themes that weave us together in Rubaboo, written by Andrea Menard, with music by Andrea Menard and Robert Walsh. Co-produced with the Arts Club Theatre Company (Vancouver, BC), Rubaboo will take audiences on an intimate, moving, and joyous musical journey – guided by the powerhouse, Métis performer, Andrea Menard. Following its world premiere on the Spriet Stage, it will then travel to the Arts Club Theatre in Vancouver, BC.
The season ends with a bang as the Grand presents Neptune Theatre’s production of East Coast Kitchen Party. In this musical celebration, audiences will be transported to the shores of eastern Canada, where they will be invited to join an evening of brilliant, traditional, East Coast music. In each performance, a new, local band will join the cast to perform a set on stage, as well as immediately following the show in the Drewlo Lounge.
Christening the Grand’s newly-renovated Auburn Stage is writer, performer, and musician, Zorana Sadiq’s one-person show, MixTape – presented by Crow’s Theatre. This audio-intensive experience, directed by Crow’s Theatre Artistic and General Director Chris Abraham, will be followed by the world premiere of Homes: A Refugee Story. Written by Winnie Yeung and Haysam Kadri, and based on the award-winning book by the same name, this solo show tells the remarkable true story of Abu Bakr al-Rabeeah. Presented under the COMPASS New Play Development Program, Homes presents audiences with an intimate look, and first-hand account, of what it is like to live through a Civil War through the eyes of a young, Syrian boy.
Marking a historic first for the Grand, the Theatre will partner with four theatre companies across the country – National Arts Centre English Theatre, Vita Brevis Arts, Canadian Stage (Toronto), and Neptune Theatre (Halifax) – to bring the world premiere of the stage adaptation of Fall On Your Knees to four cities. Based on the beloved novel by internationally-acclaimed Canadian writer, Ann-Marie MacDonald, the epic play will be presented in two parts.
On this collaboration and world premiere, Garnhum remarks: “We are proud to be partnering with four extraordinary theatre organizations to bring Fall on Your Knees to the stage – finishing right here at the Grand! This highly original experience will break MacDonald’s beloved story into two separate performances to chronicle the full lifespan of the novel. Whether you see the first part, second part, or both, it will be an experience to remember.”

- Following a condensed previous season, Jeans ‘n Classics is back at the Grand for a fifth year with five new and exhilarating concerts.
- Educators Night (formerly Teachers Club) and Students Club return with a six-show package and will include special post-show events.

KUALA LUMPUR (Dec 15): The FBM KLCI declined 35.68 points or 2.06% as concerns over declining global crude oil prices weighed on investors.
At 5pm, the KLCI closed at 1,697.31 points on losses in stocks like Kuala Lumpur Kepong Bhd (KLK) and Petronas Dagangan Bhd. The KLCI had earlier reached an intra-day low of 1,695.60 points.
Areca Capital Sdn Bhd chief executive officer Danny Wong told theedgemarkets.com that as long oil prices did not rebound, investors would continue to sell their shares in the market.
Reuters reported global share prices came under pressure on Monday as oil prices briefly sank to fresh 5-1/2 year lows in choppy trade.
US crude futures fell more than 2.5% at one point to as low as US$56.25 per barrel before rising back to positive territory. They were last up 1% at US$58.40.
Wong said : “However, there are very selected counters, which will benefit from the downward cycle in oil prices, such as those with risk contracts in brownfield projects, which will be good for bargain hunters to buy into as a mid to long-term strategy buy.
“Investor confidence in the market is also shaky. Earnings growth has been lower this year and there are no catalysts at the moment,” Wong said.
For comparison, Japan's Nikkei 225 closed 1.57% lower while Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index lost 0.95%
Across Bursa Malaysia, 2.06 billion shares were traded for a total value of RM2.32 billion.
Losers trumped gainers by 1,010 to 66 counters respectively while 858 counters remained unchanged.
KLK led decliners while British American Tobacco (M) Bhd was the top gainer.
Most active were oil and gas-related entities Sumatec Resources Bhd and SapuraKencana Petroleum Bhd.

Reflex sympathetic dystrophy is also known as complex regional pain syndrome. Patients with this condition usually experience some form of chronic pain in the arm or leg that develops after an injury, stroke, heart attack, or surgery. Instead of just being classified as pain, the condition is also accompanied by the affected area being more tender, either too warm or too cool, discolored, and swollen. The skin where the dystrophy is occurring also starts to look shinier, with abnormal hair or nail growth. One of the most important signals is feeling an unusually high amount of pain, more than you would expect from whatever hurt you.
While reflex sympathetic dystrophy is still not entirely understood by the medical community, there are certain known aspects. First, it usually occurs because of a malfunction within the nervous or immune system as either attempts to respond to damage from trauma. Somewhere along the way, the nerves do not fire properly, sending more pain signals to the brain than is natural. Early diagnosis of this condition leads to better results, but physicians who do not focus on pain treatment may not recognize reflex sympathetic dystrophy. Some may say that your pain is imagined or psychological, but if your pain is becoming severe enough that it is stopping you from working or enjoying your daily life, you may need the assistance of pain specialists.
Diagnosing reflex sympathetic dystrophy is not set in stone. Usually based on a clinical examination, the patient’s medical history, and lab results. The process of elimination is important in this case, as other conditions that may be responsible for this pain must be considered. If you are in the New Jersey area, Garden State Pain specializes in finding the best treatments in relieving pain. Our doctors have over fifty years of combined experience in treating patients facing chronic pain symptoms and understand that everyone has a unique case. They will consult you on what the best options for a pain-free path are. Contact one of our offices today to schedule an appointment.

Senator Anka counsels Zamfara electorate over election malpractice
From Salisu Zakari Maradun,in Gusau
As the 2003 elections approaches, the electorate in Zamfara State have been warned not to involve themselves in election malpractices as anyone caught will be arraigned before a Shariah court and possibly may have his hand amputated.
Senator Yusha’u Muh’d Anka, a senator representing Zamfara West senatorial district gave the warning in Gusau the state capital while briefing newsmen.
The senator who is also seeking for another term in the upper house explained that there is every tendency for the PDP to rig the elections as part of its efforts to regain its position.
Alhaji Anka expressed optimism that the ANPP will win the forthcoming elections into all the elective posts like it did in 1999 and also maintained that since the PDP government brought nothing in terms of developmental projects, which led to the decamping of large number of its supporters, "actually we will win," he emphasised.
He explained further that the ANPP had succeeded in improving the living standard of the people, and for this reason "I am assuring you that the people, not only of this state but the whole nation will give us their mandate to serve them for the second time, because we have fairly done a lot for them compared to other parties."
Commenting further, the lawmaker who regretted being a senator during the reign of Obasanjo whom he described as a toothless dog also explained that the party has no respect for not only a senator, but even a minister.
According to the senator who also appealed to the newly registered political parties to participate fully in the elections in order to avoid chaos and misunderstanding among the people, and for peace to reign stated further that these new parties can’t compare themselves with the old ones who have been in existence for almost five years, and therefore "I am calling on them to join us in ensuring the peaceful and hitch-free elections in this country."

Arshavin may buy out contract as transfer stalls
Andrei Arshavin could exercise a FIFA rule which would allow him to buy out the remainder of his Zenit St Petersburg contract unless a deal to sell him is agreed during the January transfer window, according to his agent.
Arsenal's attempts to sign Arshavin appear to have stalled with the Gunners reportedly refusing to meet Zenit's £18 million valuation of the Russian playmaker.
With Arsene Wenger thought to be unprepared to offer more than £12 million for the 27-year-old, Arshavin is prepared to consider an alternative means of securing a move.
''Unfortunately in this matter there is no movement,'' Arshavin's agent Dennis Lachter told the Russian press. ''The sticking point is, of course, money and rather the totally unacceptable amount of Zenit's demands for Andrei.
''The position of the club remains unchanged and that is the reality that we have faced for a long time. If the situation remains unchanged we will use Article 17 of the FIFA rules and buy-out the contract of Andrei at the club, which could happen as early as November this year,'' said Lacher.
Article 17 allows a player to break his contract after the expiry of a ''protected period'', usually after three years of a deal if the player was under 28 when he signed, or after two years if the player signed when 28 or over.
In order to exercise this right the player must pay compensation to his club using a formula based on wages and their original transfer fee, essentially allowing the player to buy out his contract and move to another for free.
''In that situation, Zenit would have to be satisfied with a much smaller amount than they are offered by representatives of Arsenal. If Andrei becomes a free agent, he will get many proposals, from England, Italy and Spain,'' said Lacher.
Zenit's general director Maxim Mitrofanov said: ''The situation has not changed since Friday, which means Arsenal would like to pay only £12 million, not one cent more. And we, at Zenit, are ready to discuss with them about maybe a better offer from our side.
''We are ready to make a step forward to them, but they should do the same. However, I have told the people from Arsenal we are ready to discuss a lot of things to make the situation easier for them.
''They have a deadline, as I understand, until 26th January, because after that, they should have some time to get another player and I respect this position.''
Arshavin established himself as one of European football's hottest properties after some eye-catching performances at last summer's EURO 2008 tournament which attracted interest from Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City, Inter Milan and Arsenal.
Some observers expected Man City to renew their interest following their failure to land Kaka earlier this week, but so far Arsenal remain the only club in talks with Zenit over a possible move.
