The story of Nigerian universities in the 1990s is the story of a permanent crisis. The Academic Staff Union of Universities, with about 10,000 members committed to a struggle to restore a lifeline to the universities, is once more involved in a face-off with the government. It is the third in the past three years, creating a legacy of frequent closures and paralysis.
The current strike began in August last year in protest, among other issues, at the lack of genuine government commitment to stemming dwindling university fortunes since the mid-1980s. It was precisely for that reason that the union went on a prolonged strike between May and September 1992, culminating in a federal government/ASUU agreement that broadly covered funding, university autonomy and the conditions of service of academics. The union resumed the strike in 1993 when the government attempted to back out of the agreement. The spate of industrial strikes by academics, other trade unions of non-academics and the numerous student protests (frequently turning violent) have their roots in government indifference to university funding. In a political environment dominated largely by military dictators, the universities have been perceived as centres of opposition rather than research and innovation.
Gross underfunding has brought untold "shock" to the university system. Inadequate physical facilities bring out in full relief the sorry state of affairs at the universities. The phenomenal growth in student enrolment has led to stifling and often unhealthy congestion in lecture halls and hostels. Epidemics have even claimed some lives among students. Libraries are poorly stocked while current journals in the disciplines are simply not available. Laboratories are plagued by the same disease. Consequently, all courses, especially professional ones such as medicine, pharmacy and engineering, are severely affected. The overall decline in quality has also had repercussions abroad as overseas universities are reluctant to accept graduates of the late 1980s and 1990s for postgraduate courses.
Decline in the morale of faculty members has had an even more deleterious impact on the system's health. Ravaging inflation has reduced the wages of university teachers to next-to-nothing. For example, at the present exchange rate, the monthly salary of a professor is worth $70 (Pounds 45), as against $1,400 in 1992. Several academics have consequently abandoned the universities in favour of jobs in the private sector and overseas. This brain drain, which climaxed in the early 1990s, has sounded a death knell for the universities.
What is worse is that the authoritarian tendency of the polity is being replicated in university governance. Vice chancellors, appointed on the whim of the Visitor, usually the military head of state, hardly abide by university rules. Lecturers and students are dismissed or rusticated without recourse to the laws. In the past, the closure and re-opening of universities has been known to be dictated by military governors, illustrating the complete erosion of the autonomy universities once enjoyed. Union attempts to redress these anomalies through a strike in 1988 led the government to proscribe the union, a restriction which applied until 1990.
The 1992 strike ultimately gave room for hope when major concessions were wrestled from government. Some democracy was introduced in university governance with internal organs henceforth to determine the appointment of vice chancellors. This has since been consummated in Decree 11 of 1993.
Finally, there was an upward review of salaries and allowances of university workers who nonetheless remained the poorest paid in Africa. So far, little progress has been made on the agreement to set up a stabilisation fund.
Most academics considered the September 1992 agreement to be the beginning of a process arresting the decay in universities.
It was hoped that further consolidation and gains would be achieved by 1995 when the agreement was due for review. However, it soon became clear that government was neither ready nor willing to abide by the terms of the agreement once the strike was over. In the area of funding, government has consistently failed to live up to the provisions. For example, whereas the agreement stipulated that the stabilisation fund should be built up to the agreed fund value of 1.5 billion naira (Pounds 44 million) by 1994 in three equal instalments, as of date only 0.1 billion naira has been provided by government. Several other aspects of the 1992 agreement -- in the areas of funding and conditions of service -- remain unimplemented.
The union suspects a government lack of commitment to honour an agreement freely entered into. In fact, the 1993 face-off between the union and government hinged on the government's attempt to argue that the agreement was not binding. It took several months of strike action to force government to accept that the agreement was indeed binding.
Not surprisingly, some observers have drawn parallels between the government's non-commitment and its trail of broken promises on the political scene, including the annulment of the 1993 presidential elections. This parallel has forced many observers and the ASUU to wonder if any meaningful environment for a stable university system could exist under the type of dictatorial regimes that have characterised the Nigerian political scene for so many years. It was inevitable, therefore, that the union of the intelligentsia would broaden its industrial relations activities to include a certain measure of political content.
It was against this background that the union embarked on a programme to impress on government that turmoil would again return if it did not improve relations with the union. After letters and calls on government to commence talks without success, the union called its members on strike last August 22.
The union demands included: the removal of the vice chancellor of the University of Abuja who has recklessly sacked academics and has no respect for the laws establishing the same university; the reconstitution of the governing council of the Federal University of Technology, Minna, and the commencement of the process of appointing a substantive vice chancellor; government fulfilment of its obligation to the universities with respect to the stabilisation fund as provided for in the September 2, 1992, agreement; the need for the federal government to get state governments to incorporate the relevant aspects of the 1992 agreement and Decree 11 of 1992 into the laws establishing state universities; and the immediate restoration of a democratic mode of governance as the festering political crisis has brought untold economic hardships to all.
Rather than engaging in genuine dialogue to discuss and resolve these capital issues, the government has joined some other mischievous Nigerians in describing our strike as "ill-motivated and political in nature". Faced with such intransigence and insensitivity, universities seem condemned to more excruciating hard times. We hope that, after this wasted generation, future ones will be luckier in restoring to Nigerian universities their lost glory and international respect.
Victor Aire is head of the department of languages and linguistics at the University of Jos, Nigeria, and head of its ASUU branch.

||PDF files have proved to be excellent malicious-code bearing vectors. Thanks to their flexible logical structure, an attack can be hidden in several ways, and easily deceive protection mechanisms based on file-type filtering. Recent work showed that malicious PDF files can be accurately detected by analyzing their logical structure, with excellent results. In this paper, we present and practically demonstrate a novel evasion technique, called reverse mimicry, that can easily defeat such kind of analysis. We implement it using real samples and validate our approach by testing it against various PDF malware detectors proposed so far. Finally, we highlight the importance of developing systems robust to adversarial attacks and propose a framework to strengthen PDF malware detection against evasion.

Futures: A Science Fiction Series Box Set
Published by Radix Media, a worker-owned publisher based in Brooklyn, New York.
An embattled wind engineer facing personal and climatic disaster. A society on the brink of collapse. Polar bear mutiny. And, of course, robots.
An embattled wind engineer facing personal and climatic disaster. A society on the brink of collapse. Polar bear mutiny. And, of course, robots. This box set collects the seven chapbooks from Futures: A Science Fiction Series, originally published as a monthly subscription. These beautifully illustrated chapbooks explore critical contemporary issues inspiring us to rethink our future. The box set was named a Gold Winner 2019 Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Awards.
Radix Media publishes new ideas and fresh perspectives, prioritizing the voices of typically marginalized communities to get to the root of the human experience. The name Radix comes from the Latin root of the word radical, meaning to get to the root.
We have been dedicated to the proliferation of beautiful printed matter since 2010. We began with custom made stationery and short runs of political pamphlets, and expanded into literary publishing in 2018. All of our titles are edited, typeset, designed, and produced in-house. This gives us total flexibility over how our books look and feel. It also allows us to utilize and combine printing processes—including offset lithography, letterpress, and state-of-the-art digital technology—to make something truly special.
As printers and designers, we feel that publishing is about the beautiful moment when thoughts, hopes, and dreams come together. It’s about the freedom for people to tell their own stories. With our intimate knowledge of the printing process, we can turn a blank sheet of paper and some ink into a tool, a gift to be shared and passed down. We use our skills as printers to make the books that we have always wanted to see. Our control over the production process also makes our books more economically accessible to a wider audience.
We’re union strong, because we know that without unions, we’d all be working 14-hour days and so would our children. (Note that our children appreciate unions, too.) We’re unionized with Local 1 of the Amalgamated Lithographers Union/International Brotherhood of Teamsters.
We’re eco-friendly, because we know that we only have one planet and that we should take care of it. We use 100% post-consumer recycled paper whenever possible, low-VOC inks in our presses, and dampening systems that are free of alcohol. This ensures that we are producing our books as responsibly as we can.

With most of the advocacy groups wedded to the Montana Solution, and eager to support the ranching agenda, there aren’t many opportunitues for charitable contributions to help wild horses.
Refer to this list for organizations to avoid.
The segment in the Saving America’s Horses trailer about surgical sterilization includes a remark about wild horses living out their lives as dead-end populations, destined for extinction.
Which of the following advocates warned that the herds will die off and the horses will be gone if there’s no reproduction?
a. Suzanne Roy
b. Neda Demayo
c. Simone Netherlands
d. Ginger Kathrens
e. Joanna Grossman
All are adherents of chemical sterilization via the Montana Solution, the centerpiece of HR 9154.
A quote at the Saving America’s Horses home page says the film tells the story of how one of America’s most treasured and iconic species struggles to survive in a world where two camps claim to be saving them; one that actually does, and the other that is instead found to be brutally eliminating them and driving them to extinction.
If they’re referring to wild horses, Western Horse Watchers is unable to determine who’s in the first camp.
The bureaucrats, ranchers and advocates are in the second camp.
The film appears to have a downstream focus (things that happen after they’re taken off the range), which can only prolong their misery.
An upstream focus is needed—policies and plans that lead to the removals—to bring lasting solutions.
UPDATE: If the trailer looks dated, it’s because the film was originally released in 2012, during the Obama administration. The producers may now be working on an update or tenth-year anniversary edition.
The report hasn’t been posted to YouTube but you can view it at CBS News.
The compound is listed as “Riverton Prison” in the September facility report.
This chart indicates that public lands in the western U.S. can support many more horses than the government admits and explains why so many are being forced therefrom.
Imagine the possibilities when most of your costs are subsidized by American taxpayers.

May be disturbing to viewers wearing “Stay Wild” caps.
The CBS reporter in this film from Day 4 of the Twin Peaks Roundup asks the BLM spokesman at 2:38 if his agency manages the herd to keep the herd and he says that’s exactly right. The goal is healthy herds on healthy public lands, which means most of the resources consumed by privately owned livestock, as specified in the land-use plans.
Western Horse Watchers knows what you’re thinking: Do the bureaucrats sound like the advocates or do the advocates sound like the bureaucrats?
“If we get rid of them they can stay.”
“We’re protecting them from removal by getting rid of them with PZP.”
“If we don’t get rid of them the BLM will.”
RELATED: CBS Mornings Looks at Twin Peaks Roundup.
The BLM off-range corrals at Hines don’t have room for horses removed from the WHT, according to a story posted yesterday by The Bulletin of Bend, OR, so the Forest Service will build one at the former headquarters of the Crooked River National Grassland.
The facility will have a capacity of 35 animals and is expected to cost $3 million.
The NEPA review will likely consist of a categorical exclusion, which minimizes public involvement and avoids an environmental assessment.
The article said that feed costs are expected to be $7 per horse per day, which means the government will collect $16.20 per year in grazing fees from ranching activity inside the WHT, while it spends $2,555 per year to care for every wild horse displaced thereby,
Would you say that’s a wise use of the public lands?
The WHT lies mostly within the Reservoir Allotment, which has been designated for privately owned sheep.
RELATED: Big Summit Roundup Delayed Until Fall.
The listings are on the back page.
The front page has three photos of the Pine Nut horses.
The first thing you notice is not the backdrop, which is magnificent, but the absence of youngsters. This is the handiwork of the advocates.
The theme of the article, starting on page four, is “If we get rid of them, the BLM won’t have to.”
The ad at the bottom of page nine shows how you can support their mission, which is to ensure the public-lands ranchers can access most of the forage in an area set aside for wild horses, as specified by the bureaucrats in the land-use plans.
“The birth control vaccine,” which is is actually a restricted-use pesticide, “is not available to the general public.”
“Every darter must be certified by the Science and Conservation Center,” the Billings School of PZP Darting.
“There will always be opposition to any program, so it is essential you understand the vaccine, how it is created, the costs and protocol.” Yeah, some of us want the horses to succeed, not the ranchers.
“It is important you understand it well enough to be able to explain it to concerned people who believe we should leave nature alone,” which means you also need training in lying to the public, which the advocates will provide.
The remainder of the article considers the almost insurmountable difficulties facing the advocates in on-range management of wild horses: Stalking them in rough terrain, identifying the right mares and obtaining good shot placement. Any errors and (OMG) they might get pregnant.
Imagine hiking a quarter mile up a hill and aiming your trusted darting rifle, when an off-road vehicle or motorcycle zooms by, scaring the band off at a full gallop!
“But the public lands must be shared with everyone, and everyone has a right to be there,” including privately owned livestock, which she consistently fails to mention.
The incident will begin on or about December 1, according to a BLM news release.
Horses will be drawn into the traps with bait and operations will not be open to public observation.
The capture goal is 50 and the removal goal is 25.
The HMA covers 437,120 acres in southern Oregon and the 250 horses allowed by plan require 3,000 AUMs per year.
The stocking rate allowed by plan is 0.6 wild horses per thousand acres, compared to a target rate of one wild horse per thousand acres across all HMAs.
The current population is thought to be 463.
The allotment lies within the Beaty Butte Common Allotment, which offers 26,121 AUMs per year on 506,985 public acres, or 51.5 AUMs per year per thousand acres.
That resource would support 4.3 wild horses per thousand acres.
The stocking rate at the True AML would be 0.6 + 4.3 = 4.9 wild horses per thousand acres, eight times higher than the government allows!
You don’t have a wild horse problem, you have a resource management problem.
Don’t ask the advocates to explain it, they are clueless.
Captured animals will be taken to the off-range corrals in Hines.
A link to the gather stats and daily reports was not provided.
The FY23 roundup schedule has not been posted to the customary location.
The gather page does not mention the capture of a domesticated horse.
The operation gave ranchers unfettered access to cheap feed on America’s public lands.
The wild horse and burro program has been a drag on the grazing program for 50 years.
The decision earlier this year by the Corolla Wild Horse Fund to stop darting the Currituck mares, due to an aging population and questions about the long-term effects of PZP on their reproductive systems, shows that one group, at least, may be rejecting the propaganda of the big-name advocacy groups.
Did they cut ties completely?
Doesn’t look like it. Their herd management page, which describes the darting program, still has links to other organizations, including two of the signatories to the ill-advised Path Forward, and American Wild Horse Preservation, which many know today as the Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses.
They treat their cherished horses the way you treat your cherished ants and roaches.
As for the Path Forward, the advocates have picked through the plan and pulled out the best part—the Montana Solution—which they now claim is the path forward for America’s wild horses.
A BLM news release dated November 15 describes the hand-thinning of pinyon pine and juniper trees on 539 acres of the public lands in the Kern Mountains, about 50 miles northeast of Ely, NV.
Workers lop the targeted trees and scatter the debris across the treatment area.
Non-targeted species, brush, grasses and forbs are not impacted, according to the announcement.
The effort is part of the Kern Mountains Landscape Restoration Project that will treat up to 12,580 acres of a 15,725-acre project area over several years.
A news release dated December 14 said the trees displace shrubs, grasses and forbs important for wildlife and removing them, combined with seed application, increases food for such animals while reducing the potential for hazardous crown fires.
The Western Watersheds map shows the area is covered by grazing allotments.
The remarks about wildlife may be a cover story for a concerted effort to boost forage production and further enrich the public-lands ranchers, with taxpayers footing the bill.
The ranchers pay five cents on the dollar for the resource, compared to market rates, and fifty percent of grazing receipts, or $10 million, whichever is greater, is plowed back into the program every year in the form of range improvements. But it’s not enough.
The nearest HMAs are Triple B, Antelope and Confusion.
As noted previously, the BLM sells about 12 million AUMs per year to the public-lands ranchers on 155 million acres, which includes most of the land identified for wild horses.
That works out to 77.4 AUMs per year per thousand acres, enough to support 6.5 wild horses per thousand acres.
The BLM insists that public lands in the western U.S. can only support one wild horse per thousand acres (27,000 animals on 27 million acres).
The current population is about three wild horses per thousand acres.
Why are the advocates so eager to get rid of wild horses when the land can support many more than the BLM admits?
“Are you questioning our authority?”
Yes we are.
“Never mind, we know what’s best for the horses.”
No, you know what’s best for the public-lands ranchers.
RELATED: Their Words Never Match Their Deeds.
They don’t like helicopters.
Can’t stand the wild horse shooters.
They’re not thrilled with motorists, tourists and campers.
Don’t care much for the hunters either.
They hate drillers and miners, even though they’re not much of a threat to wild horses.
Why? They want to dominate the wild horse removal business, so their ranching allies can dominate America’s public lands.
They, and they alone, shall get rid of the horses with safe, proven and reversible fertility control, as explained by the writer of this op-ed in the Arizona Daily Sun.
File under: Charlatans.
An advocate with the Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses told a reporter for Cowboy State Daily in a story posted today that wild horses “shouldn’t be considered scourges or something to get rid of.”
What is her group doing on the Virginia Range? Getting rid of wild horses.
These people are so full of crap!
Every now and then they have a few harsh words for the public-lands ranchers, but no offense is taken.
It’s part of the charade that keeps the donations rolling in while maintaining the status quo—areas set aside for wild horses are managed primarily, if not principally, for privately owned cattle and sheep.
RELATED: Criticize Livestock, Dart Horses.
The announcement said they were treated with a fertility control drug but did not specify the type.
The advocates generally oppose the use of the substance but they strongly support the Montana Solution, which can achieve the same results in as little as five doses (primer plus four boosters).
Mares thus treated, no longer able to conceive, are described as “self-boosting.”
RELATED: Twin Peaks Roundup Ends.
Another example of a positive correlation.
RELATED: What Is a Positive Correlation?
The Animal Industry reports presented at the quarterly Board of Agriculture meetings include updates from the Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses on its safe, proven and reversible fertility control program.
Here are some figures from the past year:
The herd appears to be shrinking, as advertised.
The advocates are doing what they do best—getting rid of wild horses—but will they win the approval of the bureaucrats and ranchers?
The June report said they pumped 1,255 rounds of their favorite pesticide into the herd in FY22.
An aerial survey put the population at 3,567 according to the September report but did not indicate if the area inspected coincided with the area hunted by the advocates.
The same report indicated that five vehicle collisions with horses have occurred to date, compared to 27 in 2021 and 46 in 2020.

What is USPSA/IPSC?
The United States Practical Shooting Association (USPSA) is the US regional organization of the International Practical Shooting Confederation (IPSC).
Our matches are sanctioned by these organizations. Matches are held all over the USA and the World.
USPSA/IPSC matches combine drawing from a holster, rapid engagement of multiple targets both paper and steel. Performing reloading of the handgun under time constraints, quick movement between shooting positions. Shooting through, around, over, and under walls and props of all types. You are given a shooting situation to analyze and solve as quickly and accurately as possible.
USPSA is largely “run and gun”! Targets are man-sized silhouettes and (knock-down) steel at ranges from 2 feet to 50 yards. Scoring is based on the accuracy of target hits, time taken to complete the course, and the power (caliber and muzzle velocity) of the handgun used. It's fun to watch, and even more fun to do!
IPSC competition allows you to enjoy recreational competition with your handgun while developing your gun handling skills. You compete against shooters with similar handguns:
Is it safe?
Yes! USPSA matches Worldwide have an enviable record of safety over the years. Safety rules are strictly enforced! An experienced Range Officer closely supervises each competitor while shooting a course of fire. Firearms are handled and loaded only on the firing line, and at the Range Officers Command. Safety violations can result in Match Disqualification.
As with any competition, we have our rulebook. At your first match, we’ll give you a familiarization session, identifying the safety rules and key competition rules. We’ll pair you with an experienced USPSA shooter who stay with you through your first match, give you advice, and answer all your questions. The Range Officer at each course of fire will talk you through each step of preparing for each course of fire, and will watch you carefully while you shoot. We want your first match to be a safe and enjoyable experience (and we have all had a first match!)
What equipment do I need?
You don’t need an expensive, custom-built handgun: you can likely shoot what you already have! The handgun used must be 9mm/.38 caliber or larger. Although revolvers are at a disadvantage on many courses of fire, you can have just as much fun shooting them as shooting a semi-automatic handgun. You will require enough magazines or speedloaders to hold at least 32 rounds (more is better!). You will need a holster that completely covers the trigger guard, and magazine holders for your belt. Each match will require a minimum of 100 rounds (bring 150 - 200).
Hearing and eye protection is mandatory!

Slow Cooker Chicken Adobo might not be the prettiest dish you’ll ever make, but I bet everyone will be asking for seconds once they taste this sweet, spicy chicken dish!
OK, so listen. Some foods are really colorful and photogenic like Mexican pizza or Asian noodle soup. Others are kind of brownish and, well, fairly ugly. Take this slow cooker chicken adobo for example. It tastes GOOD y’all. Fork tender chicken thighs are smothered in an irresistibly spicy, sweet sauce making for a dinner you’ll look forward to. I wish I could convey all that deliciousness in the photos, but you’ll just have to trust me on this. I haven’t had the pleasure of trying many Filipino dishes, but I would like to try more. I do love Hawaiian BBQ, and this recipe shares some of the same flavors but with more sticky, delicious sauce. I served it over medium grain rice with sauteed bok choy. I’ll write up my version before long, but I found an authentic garlic baby bok choy recipe at The Woks of Life that I would recommend! This does not need to be an all-day recipe. I personally think that chicken can get dried out if it cooks too long in the crockpot, but dark meat is definitely more forgiving than white. I don’t think you’ll be sorry if you cook this one for eight hours for more, but a half day is all you need for perfect results. I hope this recipe makes it to your dinner table very soon!

OCEAN CITY — While there appears to be a thaw somewhat in the decades-old debate of tax differential between Ocean City and Worcester County, it remains to be seen if the two sides can reach an amicable agreement, but a new element involving the resort’s contribution to the public school system could further muddy the picture.
Late last year, the Ocean City Mayor and Council again submitted its official tax differential request to Worcester officials in advance of the county’s budget deliberations. Each year, the town seeks relief for its taxpayers from Worcester County for services duplicated by the two jurisdictions.
In 2007, Ocean City hired the Municipal and Financial Services Group (MFSG) to conduct a study to identify those duplicated services and calculate a tax differential, or tax set-off for resort residents against their county property tax rates. In 2013, MFSG was rehired to update the original study and determined the estimated cost of duplicated services for Ocean City residents totaled around $17 million.


Apple prides itself on having the highest adoption rate of any mobile operating system on the market. Part of the reason iOS is so popular is because the iPad maker gives it away for free and makes it possible to use on more generations of devices than any other company. Today, Apple added figures to its developer support page showing the adoption rate of iOS 7. While not up to 100 percent, iOS 7 is certainly gaining steam for Apple users.
Welcome back to the last iPad Tips column in 2013. The next time you look to our knowledgeable writers for advice, we will be deep into a new year in the 21st century. Don’t worry. We won’t stop offering our expertise on a weekly basis. We want you to feel as comfortable using your Apple tablet as we do. That’s why we try to help you with much of the basics, and some of the more complex features of the iPad. Last week, we had a list of things every new iPad owner should do right away.
Whenever a friend or family member asks me what games they should get for their new iPad, I have a list of tried and true that are, what I consider to be the definitive games that have either revolutionized gaming in general, or epitomizes what playing games on the iPad is all about. Not every game is for every player, but every game is significant for its contribution to the iPad in some way.
We used our PadGadget Apps Tracker to find these great deals and we’ll continue to look for the best app deals as they pop-up. Some of these apps are up to 90% off, a couple are even free, so be sure to check them out because they are on sale for a limited time.
I’ve always been fascinated with Flemish Renaissance paintings. In Sacramento, the Crocker Art Museum contains a fairly decent sized collection of landscape paintings from the height of the Flemish era. Maybe that is why I appreciate the art so much. Pieter Bruegel the Elder is a particular favorite of mine because his paintings are so detailed and full of a variety of subjects. You could spend hours looking at one of his paintings and not notice every person, animal, or scene taking place on the canvas.
Today, PlayArts launched a searching game that will help you pay closer attention to the little scenes that play out in Bruegel’s masterpieces.
The rumored Apple branded television set has been a part of tech news for so long now, it practically seems like it already does exist, except that no one has actually seen it. Analysts, suppliers, and gossips have told us that the living room device is coming our way, any day now. There have even a number of concept images made showing what the TV set could actually look like.
If 2013 was the year of patent disputes, then maybe 2014 will be the year of resolutions. That is, maybe this will be the year that Apple and Samsung finally resolve their differences and put these patent infringement accusations to bed. Based on an article from the Korea Times, the two most famous “frenemies” in the tech world may be on track to do just that.
In March of 2013, analysts were predicting that Apple tablets would drop to only 46 percent of total sales, while Android tablets would rise above the iPad with 48.8 percent of total sales. According to recent research from NPD Group, Apple has held strong in 2013 with approximately 60 percent of the market share, while Android tablets have only reached about half of that.
Today marks the last week of the year for the App Store Editor’s Choice award. By the time Apple spotlights another app for the recognition, it will be 2014 and a new year will begin. Each week, Apple gives a special nod to a couple of apps and games that stand out for their special characteristics, excellent design, or innovative use of the iPad’s features. Last week, Apple gave the spotlight to a fantastic independent room escape game called Republique.
We used our PadGadget Apps Tracker to find these great deals and we’ll continue to look for the best app deals as they pop-up. Some of these apps are up to 90% off, several are even free, so be sure to check them out because they are on sale for a limited time.

18 January 2013 17:04 [Source: ICIS news]
LONDON (ICIS)--Trade unions at Poland's Zaklady Azoty Tarnow (ZAT) on Friday initiated a wages dispute, arguing that the chemical group cannot hope to fulfil its plans to become an "EU major" without improving workers's remuneration.
"We believe that the building of a big, strong fertilizer and chemical group is not possible without the will to establish satisfactory working conditions and wages for the employees," said Adam Odolski, head of the Movement of Workers at ZAT.
The unions' announcement that they had declared an official dispute with ZAT's management came after earlier on Friday the European Commission said it had no competition concerns about ZAT taking a controlling stake in fellow Polish chemical group Zaklady Azotowe Pulawy (ZAP).
This will enable a merger that will lead to the establishment of Grupa Azoty, set to be Europe's second largest fertilizer producer behind Norway-based Yara International.
The ZAT unions said they were concerned that ZAT employees were often earning significantly less per shift than counterparts at two ZAT subsidiaries, fertilizer and titanium dioxide (TiO2) producer Zaklady Chemiczne Police (ZChP) and fertilizer and oxo-alcohols maker Zaklady Azotowe Kedzierzyn (ZAK).
ZAT employees should also be entitled to less onerous working conditions and higher Easter and Christmas bonuses, they added, without outlining their demands in detail.
Talks with ZAT management over the detailed demands were continuing in an effort to stop the dispute triggering industrial action, the unions added.
ZAT was not immediately available for comment.

OHIO – Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost today announced the filing of litigation to block the payment of nuclear bailout money stemming from House Bill 6.
“Ohio laws should not be built on the basis of fraud, deceit and intimidation,” Yost said. “Given the corruption surrounding House Bill 6, it is proper to block these ill-gotten gains from filling the coffers of those under criminal indictment.”
More on Bill 6 Here: http://www.sciotopost.com/house-bill-6-passed-signed-dewine-bailout-nuclear-power-plants/
The civil lawsuit seeks to prevent FirstEnergy from receiving proceeds of funds collected pursuant to the utility surcharge provided for in House Bill 6.
A copy of the complaint is available on the Attorney General’s website.


Planning for a healthy environment – good practice guidance for green infrastructure and biodiversity
The planning system in England has undergone fundamental change through the Localism Act and the National Planning Policy Framework, which have shifted power to the local and neighbourhood levels while continuing to emphasise the importance of sustainable development and supporting the objectives of the Natural Environment White Paper. The Government no longer sees it as its role to provide detailed policy guidance but wishes local authorities and communities to be active and innovative in shaping their own future.
Led by The Wildlife Trusts and Town & Country Planning Association, Planning for a healthy environment - good practice for green infrastructure and biodiversity, has been prepared with input from statutory and non statutory organisations with expertise in planning green infrastructure and biodiversity. Endorsed by more than 30 organisations, it summarises the latest policy drivers; distils the best approaches and good practice; and signposts sources of further detailed information. The main objective of this guidance is to help local practitioners to deliver positive and practical solutions when planning for the future.
This guidance is designed to offer advice to planning practitioners on how green infrastructure (GI) and biodiversity can be enhanced and protected through the planning system. It summarises the latest policy drivers and distils the best of our current policy responses. It also sets out practical examples of successful projects and sources of further detailed information. It has been prepared with the support of a wide range of organisations who have specific expertise in the field of planning for green infrastructure and biodiversity.
The aim of this guidance is to demonstrate how planners and practitioners in England, from both the public and private sectors, can use Green Infrastructure as a multi-functional resource capable of protecting and enhancing the natural environment and providing the landscape, ecosystem services and quality of life benefits required to underpin sustainability.
The guidance is primarily intended to inform local plans, but also includes reference to neighbourhood planning and development management. It sets out for planners, practitioners and others:
● the key principles by which the provision of GI should be guided;
● guidance on developing local plan policy which ensures that the planning, design and long-term management of development results in a sustained positive outcome for GI and biodiversity; and
● the essential elements of how to deliver effective planning policy on GI and biodiversity through funding mechanisms and community involvement
Are you using the NBN Gateway data for planning work?
We are building up a set of case studies for how data from the NBN Gateway are being used to help with planning and development work. If you would like to highlight your own example please do let us know. All the current information we have can be found in the "Examples of Use" section of the website

Kahala Corp. Folds Fast-Food Mexican Chain Taco Time into Multiconcept Mix

RE/MAX Malta is hosting a ‘60 minutes with RE/MAX’ career event at the Hilton Malta, Business Centre in St Julian’s on December 5 at 6.30pm.
The event is open to the public and is ideal for persons aspiring to work within a real estate organisation that has a strong brand, uses state-of-the-art technology, and has a thorough on-boarding training process and on-going education to assist both experienced and non-experienced agents to kick-start their successful career.
Elhorry Zunino, a real estate agent that plies his trade in Luxemburg, will be the main speaker. Previously a private pilot since 1997, Mr Zunino understands what it means to aim for the skies but it is in his professional career where he demonstrates what a jet-propelled takeoff really looks like. In 2013 he joined RE/MAX and he has, ever since, won the Platinum Club award annually and was inducted into the RE/MAX Hall of Fame in 2016. To-date, he has sold over €65 million in property and has earned over €2.5 million in commission – and he achieved all this by himself while managing a team.
Mr Zunino will provide fascinating insight into how he joined the real estate industry and the reasons why the RE/MAX brand was the ideal vehicle for him to use to discover this new career and propel him to become one of the top real estate agents in Europe.
Beyond that, Mr Zunino is now an international speaker at RE/MAX conventions, and he was recently the main speaker at the RE/MAX European convention in Mallorca.
“I am very excited to be speaking in Malta for the first time. Malta is close to my heart because, during the early days of my career, I had visited the local conference there. I now look forward to paying forward the knowledge that I have learnt during my career, and to encouraging people in Malta to start a career in real estate,” he said.
Other speakers at the event will include RE/MAX Malta chairman Kevin Buttigieg and Mark Ellul, a RE/MAX Malta Academy manager. Mr Buttigieg has led RE/MAX Malta for the last 15 years, resulting in consistent year-on-year growth and he is known to be a natural speaker, motivator and leader. Mr Ellul has several years’ experience working with international companies in sales and training, and today leads the RE/MAX Malta Academy. Mr Ellul will take aspiring new individuals through the paces, providing them with an understanding of the career path they will take when they join RE/MAX Malta.
Meanwhile, according to a recent survey, RE/MAX Malta was considered to be the most ‘reliable real estate brand’, the ‘strongest brand’ and the ‘most trustworthy brand’, with ‘the most professionally-trained agents who understand their clients most’. The company was also noted to be the ‘real estate agency with the widest range of properties and the most competitive prices on the market’.
“When an individual joins RE/MAX Malta, they are provided the necessary support from the on-boarding and on-going training and mentorship perspective, while they are ultimately also joining a company that cares for its people and the community,” says Mr Ellul.
“I have worked with several multi-national companies around the world, however I have never come across a company like RE/MAX; it certainly does not cut corners. The company truly wants the best for its people, while the brand is also very philanthropic and consistently donates thousands of euros to foundations and causes that are in need.”
Mr Buttigieg concluded by saying: “’60 minutes with RE/MAX’ is the ideal event if you are thinking of joining the real estate world. In one hour or so you will come to understand the culture and the true meaning of being in the real estate industry with the largest brand in the world.”
If you are interested in joining the event visit remx.co/60minwithREMAX or call Maria Tirone on 7958 9849 to confirm your space.

Tension monitoring for multiple yarn applications - EyETM
Eltex EyETM greatly helps increase the quality of warp beams.
The result is fewer problems, not only when warping, but also in the next step when weaving or tufting.
The System monitors the yarn tension on all positions in real-time. A minimum and maximum allowable tension value can be set. If any yarn's tension is outside these values the operator can be warned or the machine can be stopped. The system can also be set to stop if a yarn's tension value has exceeded the warning level for a pre-set amount of time.

T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach were spotted at the New York City Half Marathon Sunday morning in their first race as an official couple.
While the former “Good Morning America” anchors showed off their names and tags when they ran the full marathon — as well as the 13.1-mile race — in 2022, this year, they appeared to be keeping a lower profile in the wake of the scandal that cost them their jobs.
The duo was infamously booted from ABC after their affair was exposed in November, with Robach, 50, and Holmes, 45, divorcing their spouses and sticking together.
At Sunday’s “2023 United Airlines NYC Half-Marathon,” Robach was zipped up tightly in a white jacket, with her hair tucked inside a black beanie. She also wore black gloves, blue jogging pants and bright orange sneakers.
With sunglasses adorned on her face, she was barely recognizable if not for Holmes beside her, with his face clearly visible as he wore an all-navy blue outfit with bright green sneakers.
The outing in near-freezing temperatures was a far cry from the tropical climate the couple previously enjoyed when they were previously pictured together vacationing in Mexico.
The annual half-marathon, which starts in Brooklyn and ends in Central Park, attracted 25,000 runners for Holmes and Robach to hide among.
But despite appearing to want to keep a low profile at the event, sources told Page Six that the couple was likely to appear at the race, which also attracted other big names like former Giants legend Tiki Barber and reality TV stars Andi Dorfman and Peter Weber.
Robach and Holmes appeared to avoid much of the media during the trek, likely due to their bundled up attire compared to their last run back in November, just weeks before their affair was exposed and scrutinized by several media outlets.
The news sparked an internal investigation from ABC and additional revelations that Holmes allegedly had affairs with three other coworkers.
Despite their departure, the couple remains in the public eye, with Holmes and Robach often photographed flirting in luxurious trips after receiving a payout from the network.
Journalist Megyn Kelly recently called out the photogenic couple for the slew of stories about them enjoying themselves following their ouster.
“Stop with the very clearly orchestrated photo events in South Beach, where they were all over each other kissing and fondling, while their spouses who they cheated on are posting sad-face pictures with their kids, who look incredibly forlorn,” Kelly said. “That was a massive PR error. They 100% orchestrated it, in my opinion.”

The southern part of the country is a strategic region that has huge influence and capabilities to change the economic and political dynamic of the country. It is unfortunate that this very region is witnessing major security challenges as a result of incessant attacks by unknown gunmen, violent agitators and other criminal groups. It is paramount and of uttermost importance that the security of lives and properties of people is ensured by the security forces before the country's forthcoming general election. The core responsibility of government is providing the avenue for peace, security and peace to thrive.
As of this moment, the Nigerian government has deployed a special tactical command comprised of professional personnel from various security departments in the country. The security forces have the mandate to restore normalcy and tackle the violent activities of the unknown gunmen who continues to wreak havoc on the economic growth and stability of the southeastern region of the country. Notorious commanders of the proscribed organisation such as Mr Onye Army, Ikonso etc were apprehended or neutralised by the security forces.
Camps, training centres, logistics and hideouts were discovered and destroyed. But up till this moment, the hoodlums continue to attack security formations and outposts across the region. This is costing the government significant loss. The continuous attack on security formations may affect security operations in the region. The people must rally behind the troops and support them in order to discharge their duties effectively. Vigilantes should report suspicious persons, places or behaviour that may trigger social unrest.

Before elections are conducted, the government usually deploy additional security personnel in the areas that are considered hostile. Security guarantees peaceful elections. Therefore, there is a need for the Nigerian security forces to improve their efforts and approaches regarding the security challenges being faced in the southeastern region of the country. People should never be frightened into sitting at home by the proscribed organisation. The alleged Sit-At-Home order that is usually imposed by the proscribed group has affected the local businesses of people.

WASHINGTON (AP) – The Treasury Department has rejected an effort by the Teamsters Central States Pension Plan to cut benefits for 270,000 retired workers starting in July.
Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew says in a letter to members of Congress that while the decision blocks the pending pension cuts, it does not resolve the issue because the pension plan remains severely underfunded and is projected to become insolvent within the next ten years.
The review was conducted by Kenneth Feinberg, the outside attorney selected by Treasury to review the case.
Lew said the rejection of the proposed cuts was based on Feinberg’s findings that the plan failed to demonstrate the reductions would keep the pension plan from becoming insolvent or show they were being equitably distributed.

The founders of Pilloxa recognized the need to facilitate medication adherence during Clinical Innovation Fellowships; a joint venture program run by Royal Institute of Technology, Karolinska Institute and Stockholm County Council. In the clinical context, we really got to see what poor adherence could lead to: people coming into the emergency department with their medications in large grocery bags and surgeries being aborted due to wrongfully taking medication.
Contrary to common belief, we saw that the younger population was the group that struggled the most with taking their medication - and all the current solutions in the market were aimed towards an older generation. We wanted to invent something for the smartphone generation, solving all the underlying problems as to why people do not take their medication.
We have researched and verified the need through hundreds of interviews with patients, relatives, caregivers, pharmacists, researchers and patient organizations in addition to a thorough literature study.
On this basis, Pilloxa was founded in 2015 with the aim to create a patient-centric adherence platform that solves the problem from a holistic perspective by combining hardware, software and cloud services. Our first product, a smart pillbox with embedded sensors connected to a mobile app, has been used by patients since 2017.
In collaboration with some of the most prominent hospitals in Sweden, Pilloxa is now being used in several therapeutic areas where adherence is of utmost importance.
We at Pilloxa are convinced that detailed anonymous data on medication adherence will bring medical research to the next level. We are excited to drive the development in this field and are looking forward to creating a difference for the millions of patients that medicate daily.

I was getting ready to board the subway this AM, waiting for people to disembark, when I felt someone behind me, pushing me to get on. I glanced back to see this huge black dude.
We got on, the train wasn't crowded, and I headed to a corner. This guy stood right next to me, his bag rubbing against me. I started to push back a little, and he backed off a little. A few minutes later he leaned into me again, though I couldn't tell if it was him pushing or just swaying with the train's motion around bends. But then it happened again. And Again. This went on for a few stops, until a woman got up and he swarmed to her seat.
A couple stops later, this older white woman got on. He immediately tapped her on the shoulder and asked if she wanted his seat. And I felt bad. For him.

Horizon Aerospace has won a contract with boeing for the maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) of three key boeing defence platforms in India — the P-8I operated by the Indian Navy, the C-17 Globemaster and VIP B737 transport fleet operated by the Indian Air Force.
Jet 2. 0 plans to resume operations in a hybrid mode (having features of both a budget and full-service carrier, or FSC) using brand new planes, say people in the know. The proving flight was conducted on a boeing 737 that was used by Jet 1. 0, then taken over by SpiceJet and is now back with the former. Jet was launched in 1993 as an FSC and later acquired Air Sahara in 2007 — a financial burden from which it never recovered and eventually collapsed over three years ago.
Even as the SpiceJet flight from Mumbai to Durgapur flew into severe turbulence on Sunday, injuring 17 onboard, at least three other flights that were routed to fly over the same region had deviated and opted for longer routings to avoid the violent squall line of ‘Kalbaisakhi’ thunderstorm cells.
Jet Airways conducted its test flight to and from the Hyderabad airport on Thursday in a step towards obtaining the air operator certificate. Jet Airways, which has not flown since April 17, 2019, is currently in the process of re-launching operations under its new promoters Jalan-Kalrock Consortium.
Indian carriers with weak finances and/or an ageing fleet will now have their aircraft cabins and the Aircraft thoroughly checked when parked at night across major airports in the country. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) will despatch its teams to check each aircraft thoroughly with common complaints being about broken hand rests, meal tables, window panes and torn seats.
In a second case of a MAX engine inflight shutdown (IFSD) in five months, a SpiceJet boeing 737 MAX, which was flying from Chennai to Durgapur on Tuesday, has been grounded. One of the engines of the aircraft had suffered an IFSD at 8.19 pm, an hour after its take-off. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation is investigating into the matter.
Operating the badly rattled boeing 737 onward to Kolkata hours after it encountered severe turbulence during the Durgapur approach on Sunday night has cost SpiceJet dear. The DGCA has removed from duty the aircraft maintenance engineer who cleared this plane to take off from Durgapur, the pilots who flew it to Kolkata as a ferry flight (without passengers), and the airline’s maintenance control centre chief pending its investigation.
In an unprecedented move, 90 SpiceJet pilots have been barred from flying the boeing 737 MAX till they undergo proper training. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) took this step after finding anomalies in the simulator training that these pilots underwent at a facility in Noida.
The Indian aviation regulator has ordered "enhanced surveillance" of the close to 100 boeing 737s in the fleets of Indian carriers after a China Eastern B737-800 with 132 people on board crashed in China's Guangxi on Monday afternoon.
The DGCA has put the boeing 737 fleets of Indian carriers on "enhanced surveillance" after a China Eastern Airlines aircraft of the same make crashed on Monday with 132 people on board, its chief Arun Kumar said.
American aerospace giant boeing is making a third attempt to reach the International Space Station
Vistara is in talks with lessors about getting long-haul planes to cover a gap left by delays in boeing 787 deliveries, chief executive Vinod Kannan said.
India had beaten heavyweights Malaysia in the Thomas Cup quarterfinals, followed by Denmark in the semis, and the duo of Satwik-Chirag scripted crucial wins in both the matches, before completing the 'giant-killing' hat-trick against Indonesia as India won their maiden title.
Wednesday late evening spelled chaos and hassles for passengers flying from the city to Delhi after their flight was delayed by over seven hours. The SpiceJet (SG8184) flight, which was scheduled to take off at 5.40pm and land in Delhi at 7.35pm, took off at 12.35am on Thursday and landed in the national capital at 2.20am.
A SpiceJet flight from Pune to Goa on Wednesday had to return to the city after take- off because of a snag. Flight (SG525), a boeing 737-800, had taken off from Pune at 12.
The defence minister flew the sortie on Tuesday hours after he launched two frontline warships of the Indian Navy at the Mazagon Docks Limited (MDL) in Mumbai. "Defence minister Singh, during his visit to Mumbai, undertook a sortie on the Indian Navy P8I long-range maritime reconnaissance and anti-submarine warfare aircraft," Navy Spokesperson Commander Vivek Madhwal said on Wednesday.

The Horten Ho 229 is sometimes cited as one of the earliest examples of a “stealth aircraft” because its flying-wing design would have made it harder to detect by radar.
Look at the Ho 229: To gather details for this article, we made a special trip to the National Air and Space Museum just outside of Washington, DC, and did our best to get as near to the Horton Ho 229 on display as possible. The plane was so far away that recording a video was difficult. Nonetheless, the photographs below and above are authentic and were taken during our trip.
Check out the rest of our trip’s coverage for more intimate experiences with planes, including the SR-71, X-35, Bell X-1, and NASA’s Space Shuttle Discovery.
In the summer of 2020, the media criticized Trump because it seemed like he thought the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II was invisible to the human eye, which is untrue. Although “stealth” planes are visible, their radar signature has been drastically reduced thanks to new technologies.
Before the British discovered radar right before World War II, none of that mattered much. To give the Royal Air Force more time to respond to inbound German bombers, Winston Churchill had radar stations built around the English coast, which he dubbed “castles in the sky.”
With its initial success, German engineers began developing countermeasures for radar.
Walter and Reimar Horten, a brother-and-sister pair from Germany, were among those hired for this purpose. They directed a tiny team that created the revolutionary HoIX aircraft. While the prototype’s wings were constructed from solid plywood, the production model was to have been skinned with a sandwich material of thin plywood sheets and a core of sawdust, charcoal, and glue. Although it has a “high-tech” ring, the material was designed with radar absorption in mind.
It had dawned on the Hortens that the metal skins of contemporary aircraft at the time reflected the radar waves, so they set out to create materials that would cancel out the reflection. The plane had an interesting design, and its effectiveness in evading even the less advanced radars of the day is debatable, but it was still an impressive feat of engineering.
They had imagined a wing that could lift you into the air.
Too little, too late, ho 229
By the time they were done, the war was well underway, and the Nazis had already made more miracle weapons. Indeed, the Hortens weren’t given the same “red carpet” treatment as the German rocket experts. Hence, their efforts only amount to a little. The brothers didn’t start developing the Horten Ho 229 fighter plane until the war’s final months when Nazi Germany was already on the verge of collapse.
The Horten No. 9 (H. IX) was a Nazi “super weapon” that saw production beyond its initial prototype. The first completed prototype was a glider, then came single-seaters, and the final prototype would be a two-seater.
Most people now agree that the Horten Ho 229 was one of the first “stealth aircraft.” Its flying wing design would have made it harder for radar to find than other planes of the same size. While the aircraft had a greater wingspan than a fighter like the Messerschmitt Bf 109, its vision would have been similar to that of the Bf 109.
Despite ongoing construction, the Ho 228 V3 was never able to take to the air. Perfecting the plane would have made little difference anyway because Germany would have yet to be able to mass-produce it.
Following the war’s conclusion, the United Kingdom and the United States looked at several Horten plans.
As the war ended, the U.S. Air Force examined the airframe and three early Horten gliders, and in 1952, they gave them to the institution that would later become the National Air and Space Museum. The process of preservation did not start until 2011. After years of restoration, it is on exhibit, but it is difficult to view because it is not in a central location, and we could not capture footage that did the plane credit. You can see that we did our best with the photographs featured above and below.
The Horten brothers had offered their services to the British and American efforts to construct an airplane based on their design, but they had yet to be turned down. Due to restrictions on aircraft production in Germany, Reimar Horten relocated his expertise to Argentina. Yet, despite his persistence in developing his flying wing idea, something substantial came when he died in 1994.
When Northrop developed its N-9M one-third scale all-wing prototype, the U.S. Air Force looked into it and included it in the Northrop XB-35 and YB-35, experimental heavy bombers constructed for the United States Army Air Forces in the years following World War II. Northrop Grumman started working on the B-2 Spirit in the 1970s, long after they had abandoned the idea.

Independent MP Kylea Tink says she was yelled at aggressively by a male opposition MP following a vote in parliament yesterday, prompting Speaker Milton Dick to say parliamentarians had fallen well short of expected standards of behaviour.
Tink stood in parliament immediately after question time to say the unnamed male MP “aggressively challenged” her voting decision, referring to a testimony she gave to an earlier committee hearing in which she expressed a desire to see questions in parliament answered more directly.
“His tone was hostile. And his body language was aggressive. And to the best of my recollection, his words were, ‘Well where were you today then? Hey, you say you want clear answers? Well, that was your chance. And where were you?’” she said.
She added he was looking at her in a way she found “to be aggressive and honestly quite confronting. Yesterday’s behaviour left me feeling like my senses had been assaulted by what I experienced as excessive and unconstructive noise and aggressive aggression being thrown around the room.”
She said the tone of the debate in parliament was “overly aggressive and personalised, with numerous examples of condescending and offensive language designed to ... intimidate others within the chamber. In any other professional environment, this sort of behaviour would be completely unacceptable.”
Dick said it had been a combative week in parliament “by any measure”.
“Such behaviour does not reflect well on the house, or any of us. It’s expected that parliamentary debate will expose differences of opinion, but we have to find ways of engaging in debate that also contains respectful behaviour. We are simply not meeting the standards we should be meeting. This requires change,” he said.


The luncheon was meant to ease tensions with Muslim-Americans after the terror attacks.
"It's clear at the time (when the Pentagon was reaching out to Muslims) that no one here knew of any terrorist ties Awlaki may have had," a senior Pentagon official told NBC News.
The details of Awlaki's attendance surfaced during the FBI's investigation of the Fort Hood massacre, where Maj. Nidal Hasan, a purported acolyte of Awlaki's, is accused of mowing down 13 people.
"At that period in time, the secretary of the Army (redacted) was eager to have a presentation from a moderate Muslim," according to documents obtained by Fox News.
Earlier this year, Awlaki, 38, became the first American to be placed on the CIA's target list since 2001. He's believed to be hiding in Yemen.
