Lloydspharmacy TENS Machine
How does TENS work?
Pads are placed on or near the area of pain. Soothing pulses are sent via the pads through the skin and along the nerve fibres. The pulses (controlled by the user at all times) suppress pain signals to the brain. TENS also encourages the body to produce higher levels of its own natural pain killing chemicals called Endorphins and Encephalins
Who will TENS work for?
TENS is a highly effective treatment for pain. It is used worldwide and recommended by sports coaches, physiotherapy departments, pain clinics, doctors and other medical practitioners. A TENS unit will ease pain, and should result in a decrease of drug intake! For many the relief is dramatic.
Numerous painful medical conditions can be eased with our TENS Machine including:-

COMMON CORE STANDARDS DAILY UPDATE // MAY 25, 2016
News You Can Use:
Survey Shows Leadership Effect on Common Core / Phys.org
A national study by researchers at the University of Arkansas finds educators are more likely to feel positive about Common Core State Standards when school leaders are open and active in the implementation process. “The idea that common standards meant common teaching, we thought, was wrong,” says Jason Endacott, the team’s lead researcher. “If administrators really want teachers to buy into and have positive perceptions, they need to maintain openness in the process.” Many states and groups supporting them have redoubled implementation efforts, refining and building on the Common Core. Last year 21 State Teachers of the Year wrote, “Under the Common Core, teachers have greater flexibility to design their classroom lessons.”
Correcting the Record:
The Common Core Journalism Blackout / New Boston Post
Sandra Stotsky claims the media ignores criticisms made against the Common Core State Standards because of a perception such concerns come only from “wing-nuts concerned about ‘federal overreach.’” “In effect, [the Education Writers Association] has found a subtle way to blacklist writers who might write critically about Common Core’s standards and tests,” Stotsky alleges. The piece argues assessments aligned to the Common Core do not reflect the skills or knowledge needed for college or the workforce, use content that is not support by research, and encourage teaching to the test. Contrary to Stotsky’s claims, wildly untrue attacks on the Common Core have often obstructed honest debate, and evidence indicates associated assessments are providing parents and teachers with accurate information. Here is where Stotsky gets it wrong:
Is the Media Really Blacklisting Common Core Opponents?
Writing in the New Boston Post, Sandra Stotsky claims the media ignores criticisms made against the Common Core State Standards because of a perception those concerns come from “wing-nuts concerned about ‘federal overreach.’”
“In effect, [the Education Writers Association] has found a subtle way to blacklist writers who might write critically about Common Core’s standards and tests,” Stotsky alleges.
It’s difficult to argue the media has shown a bias towards opponents of the Common Core. Wild accusations, from the idea that the standards aim to turn kids gay to that they are a tool to indoctrinate students into Islam, have regularly populated headlines, including major news outlets.
Such claims have obstructed the honest debate Stotsky purports to defend. Former U.S. Education Secretary Bill Bennett wrote last year, “Lies ,myths, exaggerations and hysteria about what the Common Core means and does have dominated the ‘debate’ and the real issues have been obscured.”
There are legitimate concerns about the implementation of rigorous, consistent education standards and high-quality assessments. Unfortunately, those have often fallen to the wayside amid opponents’ misinformation campaigns.
Last year Karen Nussle identified a real reason criticisms of the Common Core have failed to take hold. “Public policymakers intent on repealing Common Core invariably are confronted with the reality that the public fundamentally supports higher standards.”
Nussle adds, “Opponents of Common Core pushed for repeal of the standards without offering an alternative set of academic standards that will adequately prepare kids for success after high school.”
Stotsky argues assessments aligned to the Common Core do not reflect the skills or knowledge needed for college or the workforce, use content that is not support by research, and encourage teaching to the test. But evidence runs counter to such claims.
An analysis by Achieve this year found 26 states significantly closed their “Honesty Gap” by implementing high standards and high-quality assessments. “[States] should really be commended for starting to be more transparent with parents and educators about how their kids are doing,” said Sandra Boyd, chief operating officer for Achieve. “It really is the first step in improving outcomes.”
On Our Reading List:
Deadline Looms for ISTEP Panel to Design New Test / State Impact Indiana
The committee created by Indiana lawmakers to rewrite the state’s standardized assessments met for the first time Tuesday. The 23-member committee is required to submit recommendations by December 1, which are intended to help lawmakers approve a new exam, which could be built for Indiana or be an “off-the-shelf” model used by other states. The new assessment will go into effect in the spring of 2018. “There’s probably a pretty good chance that we will extend the [current] contract with Pearson for another year or two,” said state Rep. Bob Behning, explaining the proposed timeline may be too short to develop the framework for a new exam.
Oklahoma House Votes to Abolish High Schools’ End-of-Instruction Testing / The Oklahoman
The Oklahoma House of Representatives voted 95-1 Monday to approve a bill that would abolish end-of-instruction assessments required for high school graduates. “This is important because it shifts the focus off of testing and places it back where it belongs, on learning and instruction time,” said state superintendent Joy Hofmeister. The legislation, HB 3218, must still be approved by the state Senate and signed by the Governor before it could become law. The bill would authorize the state Board of Education to create new graduation requirements in place of the exams.
Leaked Questions Rekindle Debate over Common Core Tests / New York Times
PARCC officials have taken action to protect the integrity of the test’s content after questions were leaked on the Internet. “Fair testing cannot exist if test questions are publicly available before the tests are administered,” explained Heather Reams, director of communications for PARCC. Calling PARCC exams “exceptionally high quality, Mike Petrilli, president of the Thomas B. Fordham Institute, said it is costly to come up with new test items.

No. 80-3-535, Appeal from the Decree of the Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County, Orphans' Court Division, at Nos. 84 & 85 Adoption 1974, dated March 20 1980.
Roger M. Morgenthal, Carlisle, for appellants.
Ruby D. Weeks, Carlisle, for appellee.
O'Brien, C. J., and Roberts, Nix, Larsen, Flaherty and Kauffman, JJ. Nix, J., files a dissenting opinion.
Based on ample evidence of record, the Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County, Orphans' Court Division, agreed with appellee Cumberland County Children's Services that, from February 7, 1977, to November 9, 1977, a period in excess of nine months, appellant L.L.D. maintained absolutely no contacts with his two sons, B.M.D. and R.L.D. Pursuant to section 311(1) of the Adoption Act of 1970, Act of July 24, 1970, P.L. 620, 1 P.S. § 311(1) (Supp.1980), which authorizes termination of parental rights where a parent "for a period of at least six months . . . has refused or failed to perform parental duties . . .," the orphans' court entered a final decree terminating appellant's rights. This appeal followed.
Appellant does not dispute the orphans' court determination that appellant maintained no contacts with his sons. Indeed, this determination of fact, supported by the record, may not be disturbed. See e. g., Hamill Estate, 487 Pa. 592, 410 A.2d 770 (1980); In re C.A.W., 487 Pa. 163, 409 A.2d 16 (1979); In re William L., 477 Pa. 322, 383 A.2d 1228, cert. denied, 439 U.S. 880, 99 S.Ct. 216, 58 L.Ed.2d 192 (1978); Cohen Will, 445 Pa. 549, 550, 284 A.2d 754, 755 (1971).
What appellant does dispute is the orphans' court conclusion that termination is appropriate even though, in appellant's view, appellee did not make appellant sufficiently
aware of the consequences of his failure to perform parental duties. In In re I. L. G., 492 Pa. , 424 A.2d 1306 (J. 326 of 1980, filed 1981), we considered substantially the same claim. There, despite its finding that the natural parent refused or failed to perform parental duties for a period in excess of the statutory six month period, the orphans' court refused to terminate parental rights because a children's services agency failed to "inform [the parent] of the possible consequences of . . . failure to perform . . . parental duties." Relying upon the traditional and fundamental principle that "the parental obligation is a positive duty which requires affirmative performance," In re Burns, 474 Pa. 615, 624, 379 A.2d 535, 540 (1977), (see also In re Adoption of Orwick, 464 Pa. 549, 347 A.2d 677 (1976); In re Adoption of Mehlon Nichelle McCray, 460 Pa. 210, 331 A.2d 652 (1975); Appeal of Diane B., 456 Pa. 429, 321 A.2d 618 (1974); In re Smith's Adoption, 412 Pa. 501, 194 A.2d 919 (1963)), this Court concluded that neither the Adoption Act nor our cases support a refusal to terminate on this ground.
"Our courts are without authority to engraft upon the Adoption Act a provision conditioning a parent's obligation to perform affirmative parental duties only upon 'warning' by a children services agency. This the Legislature did not do and we may not intrude into this exclusive province of legislative judgment. As Justice Holmes observed in Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railway Company v. May, 194 U.S. 267, 270, 24 S.Ct. 638, 639 (1904), 'legislatures are ultimate guardians of the liberties and welfare of the people in quite as great a degree as the courts.'"
In re I. L. G., 492 Pa. 507, 424 A.2d 1306. As in I. L. G., appellant's contention that termination is ...

NEW YORK — They are the Kansas Jayhawks, and for now that is enough. For now they are not required to carry their "A" game along with them every night. Just bringing their jerseys, the ones with "Kansas" stenciled across the front, will do.
That luxury won't last for long, of course. The Jayhawks accomplished precisely what they set out to do when they arrived in midtown Manhattan five days ago, winning the Preseason NIT, allowing Roy Williams to add a third championship watch to his collection. They jumped and danced and laughed afterward, enjoying themselves immensely, allowing themselves a moment to celebrate their 73-58 victory over Florida State.
But anyone who saw these two games at Madison Square Garden understands something else: Kansas brings home the big trophy because they have more toys, more talent, than just about everybody else in the nation. They are not close to hitting their stride. They can look downright awful sometimes. But they are the Kansas Jayhawks. At this early hour of the season that is enough.
Later on, it won't be.
They know that as well as any team in America.
"We'll be awfully ugly sometimes this year," Williams said. "But I hope this is a good thing for us, going through adversity. Sometimes it's not good if you have it easy, easy, easy and then you panic during tough times. I don't mind adversity, even adversity during games."
There is enough of that to go around now. Wednesday night, the Jayhawks survived because of a friendly Garden rim that helped redirect a Billy Thomas three-pointer. Friday, it was a benevolent response from the Seminoles that saved them. Florida State zoomed to a 13-point lead in the second quarter, a cushion that could have been twice as large had they shot better than 33 percent from the floor.
Credit that in large measure to the aura KU brings into any gymnasium, even one as famous as the Garden. The Seminoles knew perfectly well whom they were playing Friday night. They didn't take the Jayhawks when they were there for the taking.
"We were sluggish," Raef LaFrentz said.
"Real sluggish," agreed Paul Pierce.
When asked why, LaFrentz smiled and shook his shoulders.
"If I knew that," he said, "I'd be a lot better player than I am right now."
The Jayhawks proved they can win without huge performances from LaFrentz, who struggled in both Garden games and was outplayed both nights by KU's other All-American, Pierce. But they'd rather not make a habit of it. They'd rather not have to consistently overcome the 46 turnovers they piled up in their two games on the Garden floor.
They'd rather not look so vulnerable.
"Our `want-to' wasn't there," LaFrentz said.
They can get away with that in November and December, points in the season when their reputation can buy them enough time and enough good fortune to stroll through long sections of games. That's enough during those long pockets of the season when nobody is watching.
Here, it just may have been good enough to get them the No. 1 ranking heading into their Tuesday game with Arizona. That is the blessing of talent, the beauty of having five former McDonald's All-Americans on your roster, only three of whom start. It's easy to fill the dead time that way.
Williams didn't seem terribly affected by his team's lackadaisical lapses. In a way, the Jayhawks' struggles justify the harsh words he has applied in the last few weeks. Clearly, he wasn't just poor-mouthing. He saw something. And now we all do.
And that isn't a bad thing, necessarily. Williams admitted earlier this year that he had grown weary seeing his teams play like December darlings, quarter horses who don't have the legs necessary to finish out the grueling road race of a college basketball season.
This time around, there is an upside that can be staggering. When Lester Earl joins the team in a few weeks, there will be a sixth high school All-American at Williams' disposal. Never has the prospect of the long season--one that could include some 43 games by the time it's done--seemed so user-friendly.
"We have some growing up to do," Williams said Friday. "We have some learning."
That will be for later on. For now, all they need is a blue and white uniform and an opponent willing to buy into a golden reputation. There have been six of them so far. Presumably, Arizona won't make it seven.

Next Episode of The Last Man on Earth is
not planed. TV Show was canceled.
The year is 2020, and Phil Miller (Will Forte) is seemingly the only human left on Earth after a deadly virus swept the planet one year earlier. An average man "who likes Star Wars, Twinkies, and sex", Phil searches North America in his RV for other survivors. After a long journey, Phil returns to his hometown of Tucson, Arizona believing that he is Earth's last surviving human. Just before he commits suicide out of loneliness and a desire for a female companion, his prayers come true, and he meets Carol Pilbasian (Kristen Schaal), a shrill, nagging, and eccentric woman.
At Carol's insistence, they marry in order to repopulate the Earth, only for Phil to learn a day later that there is another woman alive named Melissa, an attractive blonde for whom he can barely restrain his longing. Phil, Carol, and Melissa then meet another surviving man named Todd, but Phil grows jealous after Todd and Melissa develop a romantic relationship. Soon after the meeting with Todd, Phil and company find a cow in the neighborhood near where they took residence. As the series progresses, more survivors appear, searching for the author of Phil's "Alive in Tucson" signs. One man they encounter along the journey turns out to be also named Phil Miller, who makes it a point to calmly assert his masculinity and dominance over the other two men. (source: en.wikipedia.org)
The safety of Tandy and the group is in jeopardy as armed intruders storm the Malibu beach near their home, and no one can agree on what to do. While Melissa takes drastic action, Tandy gets a new lesson in fashion.
When Todd suffers from major remorse over recent actions, Tandy tries to lift his best friend's spirits – even if it requires a few white lies.
Tandy sets up a unique alarm system in the house, but Melissa has already put her own safety precautions in place. The whole group decides to enjoy a change in scenery.
A post-apocalyptic road trip has everyone at war with each other and Gail is really pushed to her breaking point.
The group continues to search for a new place to live, but someone may be sabotaging their progress. Meanwhile, the love triangle between Todd, Gail and Melissa hits new road blocks.
Tandy attempts to develop his new friendship with Lewis by learning about his past. Meanwhile, Carol asks Gail for a big favor and Todd addresses Melissa's mental state head-on.
Carol is hell-bent on capturing the perfect family photo and will stop at nothing to get it. Meanwhile, Melissa has a surprising mission of her own, Lewis looks into a new hobby and Gail finds herself stuck in a scary situation.
After finding a mysterious note left by Melissa that says "Goodbye," the gang sets off to go look for her. Meanwhile, Gail gets stuck on a solo adventure of her own.
Carol is bummed about Gail's absence, so Tandy tries to cheer her up with the honeymoon vacation they never had. Meanwhile, Lewis finds new success with his pursuits in aviation and Melissa is contained.
The first moments of the deadly virus outbreak are revealed through a special lens.
After being locked up for her own safety, Melissa plays hurtful mind games with the group. Meanwhile, Todd and the group explore medications that might help her, and Lewis goes on a new solo adventure.
Todd and Tandy dig deep into Melissa's pre-virus past, as they search for answers about her illness, and Carol adopts a new outlook on life.
Carol makes a big discovery, enlisting Tandy and Erica to help her track down some answers. Meanwhile, Todd has a major breakthrough with Melissa.
Tandy tries to take charge of a new situation that has unfolded in the group, and Carol is suspicious of Todd's behavior.
The gang throws a huge celebration canvassing every major holiday, but Tandy and Todd's bro-mance hits a rough patch that threatens to end the fun.
Tandy and Gail face off in a major disagreement, on which the whole group must weigh in, and Carol is forced to choose a side. Meanwhile, Melissa, Todd and Erica each have major milestone moments.
The long term consequences of surviving an apocalypse start to have a major impact on the group, whose daily life is upended.

Explore Kochi's lifeblood, the Shimanto River. One of the cleanest, clearest rivers in Japan, it supports the local food culture and daily life.
The Shimanto River runs from the richly forested mountains of Oku Shimanto, through western Kochi and out to the Pacific Ocean. One of the cleanest rivers in Japan, its clear waters sustain both local farming and fishing. On its journey from mountain to sea, the Shimanto provides irrigation for rice crops, fruit and vegetable farms and livestock, and water for aquaculture. Aonori and aosa seaweed are harvested from the estuary where the Shimanto meets the Pacific. While most aosa seaweed is farmed, the aonori grows naturally and is renowned for its high quality. The people of Kochi live in harmony with the river, employing traditional fishing techniques such as hiburi, which uses flaming torches to drive ayu (sweetfish) into nets, and shibazuke, which uses sunken clumps of leaves to trap freshwater shrimp and eels.
This delicious, delicately briny seaweed grows where the Shimanto River meets the Pacific Ocean.
We have sales offices around the world to help you connect with Kochi’s excellent products. For more information about Kochi products and for business enquiries, please complete an enquiry form. We will contact you from your nearest overseas office, or from Japan.

Her Protestant parents were regular church-going types, involved in their congregation and seemingly attuned to Christian teachings on premarital sex. Still, when her mother found out about Erin’s activities, she didn’t put a stop to the relationship. Instead, she put her daughter on birth control and washed her hands of the matter.
In her early 20s when I met her, Erin still resented the hypocrisy of her mother’s purely pragmatic response. By then she had ended her relationship with her high school boyfriend and reclaimed her sexuality as a gift for her future husband. She was grieving the loss of her first love and dealing with the aftereffects of taking contraceptives that didn’t agree with her body.
Hers was one of many such stories I heard at school and while cooking in restaurants. Growing up in a strict Catholic household, I never had to worry about teenage romances or contraception. Birth control just wasn’t an issue – abstinence was the only method promoted in our home – and I didn’t think much about the Pill (or any other version, for that matter) until the news stories on blood clots, cancer and environmental damage started to multiply. Then, my view of contraceptives dimmed considerably.
But, after several conversations with Dr. Mark Druffner, the NFP-only doctor who contributed his expertise to this issue’s article on contraceptives, I see more clearly why it is important to affirm the value of life rather than simply condemning mainstream family planning. I also see why I – not as an evangelist, but simply as a woman – must continue to challenge others of my gender who equate any questioning or criticism of contraceptives with a “war on women.”
First and foremost, we women must be educated about what we put in our bodies and what we permit to be given to our children. It’s “unbelievable the number of pediatricians who put young girls on birth control,” Dr. Druffner said, and I’ve heard plenty of anecdotal evidence to support it. Erin’s story is far more common than mine, and many of my friends who were not sexually active in high school were still on contraceptives for acne, irregular periods, or “just in case.”
As girls grow into young women, they continue to do as they were taught – they go in for annual check-ups and take contraception in stride. Perhaps they choose Depo-Provera, as did another friend of mine. She was furious when she saw the first article linking the shot to osteoporosis. When she confronted her doctor, the doctor said it was new research, and she, the doctor, didn’t know.
Perhaps what we need, more than anything else, is to know. When the women of our society finally assess – objectively – whether birth control is worth the costs, we can have an honest conversation, minus the political blather, and fertility awareness-based family planning might gain popularity.
Until then, why worry about the risks, the side effects and the unknown costs? We have a better option – one that values our bodies and the lives we are gifted to create.

Soldiers headed overseas to preserve America’s freedoms aren’t free from airlines’ baggage fees – they’re getting bombarded by charges that can run up to hundreds of dollars.
American Airlines routinely pounds American soldiers with heavy hits – an El Paso newspaper recently reported a soldier was asked to pay $100 for his third checked bag.
Another soldier traveling on the same flight was asked to pay $300 for three extra bags.
Military travelers “deserve special treatment because they have earned it,” said Veterans of Foreign Wars national President George Lisicki, whose organization is campaigning to end the fees.
In response, Air Transport Association officials said they’ll bring the issue to airlines’ attention.
In a statement, American Airlines said its military baggage fee policy has been in place for years, and predates the airline’s announcement in May that it would start charging many civilian travelers $15 for their first checked bag.

WACO, Texas (FOX 44) – The City of Waco is encouraging the public to participate in the development of the Waco Downtown Implementation Plan.
The City of Waco adopted the Imagine Waco: Downtown Master Plan in 2010. To continue to move this vision forward, the City hired the services of Kimley-Horn to develop a Downtown Implementation Plan – which will review parking, streetscape elements, and the overall “theme” for Downtown Waco.
The plan will be an action-oriented strategy which will guide improvements identified to create a more comfortable and enjoyable space for all those who live, work, and visit Downtown Waco. Improvement projects will include streetscape elements such as landscaping, lighting, crosswalk improvements, and street fixtures/furniture improvements. Additionally, a critical element of the Waco Downtown Implementation Plan is the development and implementation of a downtown parking strategy to address current and future demand.
The City of Waco is encouraging anyone interested in sharing their opinions on how to make Downtown Waco a more walkable, vibrant destination to visit the project’s website at www.DesignDTWaco.com. The website provides an opportunity to learn more about the Downtown Implementation Plan, and allows the public to participate in two online engagements – including an online survey and an interactive map activity.

African regulatory round-up: Pan-African regulation
As the African market continues to attract the attention of international operators, there is a growing demand for pan-African regulation, writes Yahaya Maikori. Whether that is justified, or indeed possible, remains unclear.
This sentiment is borne directly from the European experience. If such a proposition is not remotely possible in North America, or even Asia, why is it being called for in Africa? Why should an entire continent be subject to a single regulatory framework?
It’s borne out of ignorance, when everyday conversations can include phases such as “I am going to Africa” or “I have never been to Africa”. The continent is not a single entity.
The term “Africa” conceals much of the continent’s diversity paradoxes. For example, there is different jurisprudence governing the various legal systems of the 54 African nations. North Africa, comprising seven countries, is primarily based on Islamic law, which is morally against gambling.
In Egypt, for example, gambling is banned outright, though for tourism purposes they have made exceptions to allow foreigners to patronise casinos, while sports betting thrives illegally. Morocco, though a Muslim country, surprisingly allows almost all forms of gambling - perhaps the mixture of Islamic, European and African influences, coupled with a thriving tourism industry, accounts for this tolerance.
Though both countries share a common jurisprudence, its application in each country is very different. As liberal as the Morocco may seem to be, I doubt that it will ever legislate for gambling industry.
In West Africa, only five members of the 17 Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) speak English as their official language. The rest are predominantly French, sprinkled with a few Portuguese and Dutch-speaking countries. Though intended to create a regional market, poor transportation connections, poor implementation of the various protocols and poor communication arising from language barrier has substantially hampered intraregional commerce between the member countries.
Ordinarily language shouldn’t be a barrier for trade in contemporary times, but in Africa languages have deeper cultural, social, moral and traditional significance compared to Europe which can derail such initiatives.
A cursory look at the various markets also indicates that legislative activity seems to grow along the same direction as their most active sub-sectors to the exclusion of the less vibrant ones.
For clarity, South Africa’s probably has the most mature gambling market on the continent. Yet despite the surge in payment providers and remote gaming it has refused to address remote gambling in its current draft law.
In Nigeria, online sports betting is recognised though it is yet to be regulated, but since sports betting has grown exponentially other sub-sectors such casino and slots - which were a big thing barely 30 years ago - have been neglected.
In any case, since the gambling sector’s significance is only just becoming apparent in most economies, it is yet to be recognised as an industry that warrants most African governments’ attention.
Having considered these challenges are there any viable vehicles for the advancement of this proposition? Perhaps African Union’s (formerly known as the Organization of African Unity), new initiative, known as the Africa continental free trade agreement (AFCTA) which seeks to organise Africa into one market, has the capacity to provide a vehicle for such an effort.
African Union (AU) has shifted its focus from addressing Africa’s political challenges to addressing its economy, which is projected to be worth $5tb when properly harnessed.
Intra-African commerce is currently estimated to comprise 15% of the continent’s trade, compared to Europe’s 71%. Not even the growth of ecommerce has improved intra-continental trade - a result of the fragmented nature of the continent’s economy and its infrastructural deficits, especially in information and communications technology.
AU’s initiative provides some hope but there are already fears on how to harmonise Africa’s heterogeneous economies, especially those with the largest income disparities. While opportunities for ecommerce are at the forefront of the ongoing negotiations, the reality is that the journey has just began and gambling will not be a priority in those negotiations.
With the above situation we are left with probably one likely vehicle, the Gaming Regulators Africa Forum (GRAF) – a platform for Africa regulators. It may hopefully be able to provide a possible solution by ensuring uniformity of regulation amongst all its members. Uniform regulation across most of Africa, though far from the ideal proposition, provides at least some certainty as to what to expect in most African markets in terms licensing and taxation, as well as legal certainty for operators.
Perhaps this is the first step towards establishing some form of pan African regulation.
Yahaya Maikori is the senior partner of Law Allianz, a leading African gaming and entertainment law firm. He also co- founded Global Gaming Group, a business that has advised regulators, companies, and startups across key markets in Africa’s growing gaming industry.

Posted on 03/16/2017 5:16:56 AM PDT by Enlightened1
President Donald Trump made good on a long-time conservative goal in his first proposed budget Thursday morning, targeting the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and the National Endowments for the Arts and Humanities for complete elimination.
Trumps budget would zero out the $445 million budget for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, a substantial source of funding for programming and broadcast operations on public TV stations and NPR radio stations nationwide, per the Washington Post.
The budget would also eliminate the budgets for both national endowments, which stood at $148 million each in 2016, as well as $230 million for the Institute of Museum and Library Services, which supports libraries and museums. Additional cuts would affect two tourist mainstays in Washington, D.C., the Smithsonian Institution and the National Gallery of Art.
Combined, the four arts organizations account for less than 0.02 percent of the U.S. governments $4.6 trillion budget.
Republicans have long put the NEA and the CPB in their budget crosshairs. In 1981, President Ronald Reagan attempted to shut down the NEA, but backed down from the plans after a task force including actor and Reagan friend Charlton Heston advised against it. Reagan did, however, make major cuts to the NEAs budget.

Peter Lilley, MP for Hitchin and Harpenden, launched a strong attack on proposals floated by the Labour Party to abolish the Green Belt. The Labour Party is reported to be drawing up policies for a future Parliament which include scrapping Green Belt protection. Peter Lilley said “this confirms fears raised by the government decision to call in the planning application for building up to 10,000 houses between Hitchin and Stevenage that government is now willing to sacrifice the Green Belt”.
Peter Lilley added: “There have been pressures on the Green Belt throughout my time in Parliament, but so far we have been able to resist them. Not a single acre of Green Belt has been sacrificed to house building over the last 20 years.
“Labour‘s plans to let rip with the bulldozer and concrete mixer will provoke huge outrage across Hitchin and Harpenden. We all want to see more affordable housing; yet abolishing the Green Belt would just result in more executive homes being dumped on our green spaces, rather than addressing the demand for more housing to buy and rent near existing communities that have schools, hospitals and other amenities. It is essential to retain the green lungs between Hitchin and Stevenage and between Harpenden and Luton and St Albans.
“I shall continue to support the Green Belt vigorously and will be speaking in April at the Public Inquiry into the proposed development west of Stevenage.”
Note to Editors:
The Guardian reported on 3 February 2004 a series of proposals that Labour is planning for the next Parliament.
“In one of the most radical initiatives, No 10 is looking at addressing the chronic housing shortage by scrapping post-war Green Belt building controls in return for setting up national parks. Ministers believe the population trends are so clear that the Green Belts will have to be relaxed. They are already so eroded and of questionable environmental significance that it may be better to offer a larger, more coherent, set of protected parks. The strategy was hinted at in the Barker review on housing, published at the time of the chancellor‘s pre-budget report in November.”
Green Belts have been designated in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland to restrict the sprawl of built up areas on to previously undeveloped land and to preserve the character of historic towns.
A map of Green Belt in England is at:
Green Belts were formally introduced by 1955 by a Conservative Government. The then Minister for Housing and Local Government, Duncan Sandys, told Parliament, “I am convinced that, for the well-being of our people and for the preservation of the countryside, we have a clear duty to do all we can to prevent the further unrestricted sprawl of the great cities” (HC Debs, col. 45W, 26 April 1955).

Turkiye (MNN) — Radical Islamists in Turkiye are blocking Christians from bringing in earthquake aid. Yet, it is not stopping ministry efforts or the spread of the Gospel.
Turkish church planters supported by FMI provide humanitarian aid all over Turkiye after the earthquake nearly two months ago. They distribute meals, tents, and blankets to quake survivors in the name of Jesus.
Bruce Allen with FMI says, “Anytime that there’s a crisis, the sectarian [and] the religious boundaries evaporate. People just need help.”
Approximately 96% of the population in Turkiye is Muslim. There are only about 200 evangelical churches in the whole country of 85 million people.
Allen says some Muslims prefer to go to the Christians for aid because the Christians will take the time to sit with them and listen, and the goods are of higher quality.
“I am pleased that our partners are providing comfort, relief, guidance, counseling as necessary, but also reflecting the purposes of Jesus Christ so clearly the people that many Muslims are now turning in faith to Jesus Christ.”
One of FMI’s partners, Pastor Enver, was distributing relief supplies to a quake-affected area. He travels 700 miles each way to supply aid to this area.
Allen explains, “The fact that other Muslims would prefer to get help from Christians rather than their fellow Muslims was putting the Islamic foundations to shame and they wanted to stop that. They wanted to stop the Christians.”
“In one area where Enver and his team were serving 150 people a meal, the police came up and pressured them saying, ‘We are carrying out the orders of the district governor commanding you to stop what you’re doing.’”
“The Christians are saying, ‘Why are you stopping us? Who’s going to help these 150 people?’ And the police said, ‘It’s no matter. Just stop. These people can take care of themselves. You leave this place immediately.’
“So we know in some instances, people are being very drawn to the Christians. But because of that, more radical elements in society are saying, ‘We must stop Muslims from making these connections with the Christians.’”
Thankfully, Allen says it was one isolated incident. “But it does remind me of the spiritual dynamic that is at play here. Yes, we’re taking care of people’s physical needs, but there’s a spiritual war being waged for people’s souls too.”
Please pray for wisdom and creativity as pastors and church planters work with authorities.
Now more than ever is a critical time to give to FMI’s quake relief in Turkiye.
This month, a generous donor is matching every dollar donated to FMI’s Hope Stands campaign, up to $50,000.
The matching grant campaign is called Hope Stands. Allen says, “As these people have had their world shaken, they’re finding that hope still stands and it’s in Jesus Christ.”
You can give any time now through the end of April to have your gift doubled.
“If a Mission Network News audience member can make a $250 donation, it automatically gets doubled to $500. If someone’s saying, ‘Yeah, I want to help a family, provide them with a tent, provide them with meals,’ now, their gift to help a family actually gets doubled. They’re helping two families,” Allen says.
“We’ll be able to provide some good resources and facilitate our partners and their relief teams from their churches as they go into the spring and the summer.”

Attorney General William Barr announced Saturday that he won't wince at prosecuting protesters who cross state lines to participate in violent rioting as protests and unrest unfold across the U.S. over the death of George Floyd.
Barr said that while it's up to state and local leadership to halt the violence, the Department of Justice would support their efforts and take "all action necessary" to enforce federal law that prohibits crossing state lines to participate in or incite violent rioting.
"We must have law and order on our streets and in our communities," the attorney general said.
Barr went on to blame the violent incidents in Minneapolis and other cities on "far-left extremist groups," wording that echoes comments made earlier in the day by President Donald Trump in which he suggested the chaos was caused by "ANTIFA and the Radical Left" in a series of tweets.
"Unfortunately, with the rioting that is occurring in many of our cities around the country, the voices of peaceful protests are being hijacked by violent radical elements," Barr said. "In many places it appears the violence is planned, organized, and driven by far left extremist groups and anarchic groups using Antifa-like tactics."
Antifa, short for "antifacists," is a loose movement or collection of far-left groups that espouse anarchist views and argue that the social change they seek requires radical measures such as violence.
Neither Barr nor Trump has offered any evidence backing their assertions of who was behind the violence and vandalism. Barr did not take questions during his two-and-a-half minute statement delivered on short-notice to a pool television camera at Justice Department headquarters.
In response to queries after Barr's comments about what evidence federal authorities have that "leftists" were responsible for violence at the ongoing protests, a Justice Department spokeswoman cited "information given to us by state and local law enforcement."
Barr's announcement came a day after the attorney general opened a federal civil rights investigation into Floyd's death while in custody of Minneapolis police this week. One of the officers involved, Derek Chauvin, has been charged with murder.
"Accountability for [Floyd's] death must be addressed and is being addressed through the regular process of our criminal justice system both at the state and at the federal level," the attorney general said Saturday. "That system is working and is moving at exceptional speed. ... Justice will be served."
During a press conference on Saturday, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) and state officials estimated that a majority -- about 80 percent -- of the protesters arrested in Minneapolis and St. Paul were from out-of-state, while only 20 percent were Minnesotans.
"Our great cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul are under assault by people who do not share our values, who do not value life and the work that went into this and are certainly not here to honor George Floyd," Walz said. "They need to see today that that line will stop and order needs to be restored."
Minnesota Department of Public Safety Commissioner John Harrington suggested during the briefing that white supremacists could be responsible for some of the looting, arson and vandalism that has rocked the Twin Cities in recent days.
"We have seen things like white supremacist organizers who have posted things on platforms about coming to Minnesota," Harrington said. "We are checking to see do the folks that we have made arrests on — and that we have information — are they connected to those platforms."
The federal law Barr cited Saturday, also known as the Anti-Riot Act, was passed as part of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 in response to inner-city rioting in the preceding years. Some proponents of the statute said it was aimed at African-American activist H. Rap Brown, who headed the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee but later endorsed violence as a response to racism in the United States.
Despite the confidence Barr expressed in the anti-riot law, the Justice Department’s efforts to employ it over the years have often ended in failure.
It was most famously invoked against the so-called Chicago Seven, including David Dellinger and Abbie Hoffman, for their roles in protests at the 1968 Republican National Convention in Chicago. However, an appeals court overturned their convictions in 1972, but stopped short of striking down the law. The Supreme Court later refused to take up the case.
And just last year, a federal judge in California ruled that the statute is an unconstitutional infringement on free speech because it doesn’t require that the intent to riot be coupled with some imminent possibility of such an event.
U.S. District Court Judge Cormac Carney, a George W. Bush appointee based in Santa Ana, threw out the prosecution of three alleged members of the white supremacist Rise Above Movement for using the internet to encourage rioting at political rallies in California in 2017.
Charges were also brought under the statute against four alleged white supremacists accused of attacking anti-racist protesters during the Charlottesville, Va. “Unite the Right” rally in 2017. Judge Norman Moon, a Clinton appointee, rejected a First Amendment challenge to the prosecution.
Appeals of both rulings are pending.
While Barr emphasized Saturday that state and local officials have primary responsibility for containing the violence, he has been highly critical in recent months of some liberal local district attorneys for what he viewed as a naïve, overly lax approach to crime.
"These self-styled 'social justice' reformers are refusing to enforce entire categories of law, including law against resisting police officers. In so doing, these DAs are putting everyone in danger," Barr told a sheriffs' conference in February. "Their policies are pushing a number of America’s cities back toward a more dangerous past....These DAs think they are helping people, but they end up hurting them."

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTHI) - Fire officials are cracking down on a rule being broken in the city.
The Terre Haute Fire Department wants to remind residents the city has a burn ordinance. This means no burning is allowed within city limits.
Fire officials say this means no burning of building materials or leaves.
Terre Haute Fire Chief Jeff Fisher says all that is allowed is burning small sticks.
But he says that's only intended for small campfires that fit in a burn pit 3 foot by 3 foot in size.
"Use the proper materials, no combustibles, no flammable liquids, and use common sense, that's all it is,” Fisher explained.
Fisher says the fire stations have trash bags available to bag leaves.
He adds that small sticks and other yard waste can be bundled and tied and that the trash companies will pick up both.

Le Richelieu In The French Quarter Hotel New Orleans
A small and teeming network of laissez-faire living lounged out on the balmy banks of the Mighty Mississippi, the French Quarter has long been a port of call for folks in search of a good time and a great story. Perpetually inebriated Bourbon Street runs across its midriff like a strand of cheap ribbon tied around an otherwise rather pretty and impressively well-kept vintage dress. Throughout the rest of the
Quarter, brightly colored Victorian homes and businesses, famously done up with wrought-iron features, provide a distinct and immediately recognizable backdrop for all varieties of fun. At any given moment in this historic riverside setting, some of America’s finest meals are being cooked, most potent cocktails are being mixed, and most engaging music is being performed.

Brazil Extends Visa-Free Travel during Olympics Season to Citizens of the United States, Canada, Australia and Japan
by Foster, on Immigration Updates
The Brazilian Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Tourism, and the Ministry of Foreign Relations have published an Administrative Decision expanding the current Visa Waiver Program during the Olympic and Paralympic Games to include four additional countries. This Administrative Decision clarifies the details of the Brazilian president’s recent announcement on the proposed change.
Citizens of the United States, Canada, Australia and Japan who travel to Brazil for tourism purposes will not be required to apply for a Brazilian visa for admission into the country between June 1, 2016 and September 18, 2016. Qualified individuals may be granted admission into Brazil for a period of up to 90 days, which cannot be extended. Under the decision, these visa waiver nationals will not be required to provide evidence that they have purchased tickets for either event in order to be admitted without a visa.
Because this temporary visa waiver program expansion is only for tourism purposes, citizens of these four countries traveling for business or work purposes will not be eligible for visa-free travel and must apply for the appropriate visa before traveling to Brazil.
Foster will continue to monitor the Brazilian government’s implementation of this temporary program and will make additional information available in future Immigration Updates© and on our firm’s website at www.fosterglobal.com.

Once you assemble your ingredients, this stir-fry recipe from Real Simple is on the table in 15 minutes. Marinate sliced steak in cornstarch and soy sauce while you make a quick sauce and chop the scallions, ginger and green beans. Quickly stir fry the beef, add the ginger and scallions, add the beans and finally add the sauce. Serve garnished with scallion greens and sesame seeds. Cook’s note: The recipe calls for green beans, but I used asparagus. You could also substitute broccoli. I omitted the rice.
Avoiding Additives and Preservatives
I used tamari instead of soy sauce, Natural Value sriracha for the chili-garlic sauce and Lee Kum Kee sesame oil. For more recipes using all-natural ingredients, visit Eye For a Recipe.
- 1 cup (250 ml) long-grain white rice
- 1 pound (454 g) flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons (45 ml) lower-sodium soy sauce, divided
- 3 tablespoons (45 ml) chili-garlic sauce (such as sambal oelek)
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) sesame oil
- 4 scallions
- 3 tablespoons (45 ml) canola oil
- 1 2-inch (5-cm) piece fresh ginger, peeled and cut into thin matchsticks
- 12 ounces (340 g) trimmed green beans
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) toasted sesame seeds
- Cook rice according to package directions. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, toss steak, cornstarch, and 1 tablespoon (15 ml) soy sauce in a medium bowl until steak is evenly coated. Combine chili-garlic sauce, sesame oil, and remaining 2 tablespoons (30 ml) soy sauce in a small bowl. Roughly chop scallion whites and thinly slice dark green scallion tops.
- Heat canola oil in a large wok or skillet over high. Add steak mixture in a single layer; cook, undisturbed, for 1 minute. Stir once and cook, undisturbed, for 1 minute. Add ginger and scallion whites; cook, stirring often, until steak is well browned, about 2 minutes.
- Push steak to sides of pan, creating room in middle, and add beans. Cook, undisturbed, for 1 minute. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until beans are barely tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add soy sauce mixture; cook, stirring often, until steak and vegetables are well coated, about 1 minute. Serve with rice, topped with sliced scallion greens and sesame seeds.

Study Confirms Fears of Genetic Engineering Pollution
Back to GE Foods Dangers Page.
Back to Health Page.
DIE TAGESZEITUNG Nr. 5401, 6 December 1997 (Germany) Page 8 Business and
Herbicide-resistant rape spreads its manipulation by Jurgen
Genetically engineered rape plants on a test field in Gehrden near Hanover
have passed on their herbicide-resistance gene to ordinary rape growing in
the area. The Niedersachsen Ministry for Ecology (NLV) has been able to
show that normal rape situated at a distance of 200 metres from the test
field of the Hoechst/Schering subsidiary AgroEvo has been transformed into
transgenic, herbicide-resistant rape.
The Niedersachsen Minister of the Environment, Monika Griefahn, said that
the NLV research in Gehrden confirmed her worst fears. "Once the
manipulated genes are released into the surroundings, there is no way to
contain them," said Griefahn yesterday in Hanover. Bees and wind spread the
pollen of genetically engineered plants just as they do with other plants,
and in this case they also spread the artificial genes.
The open-air field trial to grow the genetically modified rape, which is
resistant to the herbicide Basta [glufosinate ammonium], was authorised in
1995 by the Robert Koch Institute in Berlin, in the face of opposition from
Griefahn. AgroEvo merely had to provide an eight-metre safety border around
the test field.
Niedersachsen financed its own research programme, parallel to the open-air
field trial, at a cost of DM450,000. Within a radius of 1,000 metres around
the test field, the NLV indexed plants and collected hundreds of thousands
of seeds from wild plants and normal rape growing in the area.
The NLV has so far tested only the rape seed it has collected, for the
Basta resistant gene. The seeds were fed a solution containing the Basta
herbicide. Seeds that grew into plants in spite of the Basta were then
tested for the herbicide-resistant gene. Environment Minister Griefahn is
concerned that further tests will show that the resistance gene has been
carried over into wild plants as well. Most likely this would occur with
plants that are related to rape, such as mustard or wild radish. A transfer
of resistant genes to these type of plants would cast doubt on the whole
concept of Total Herbicide, by which the seed of the genetically modified
plant is sold together with the corresponding herbicide. Wild plants that
had absorbed the resistance gene from the genetic rape would then thrive
magnificently as weeds and increase, in spite of the use of
Following the first NLV findings, it is clear for Monika Griefahn "that in
the neighbourhood of transgenic fields cultivated plants can also become
transgenic". This would harm also those farmers who declined to use
genetically modified crops. They would no longer be able to guarantee to
the consumers that their products are not genetically modified.
Translator's note: Niedersachsen (Lower Saxony) is one of the largest
states in Germany. The research study was initiated and funded by the state
government of Niedersachsen. The Robert Koch Institute is responsible for
authorising test licences.
