I should have predicted it, but it was a surprise to me. I was not quite done being overwhelmed by my emotional reaction to the shooting by Taliban of the 15-year old activist for girls’ education Malala Yousufzai.
And then I found a meme circulating on Facebook that pitted Malala against the victims of US drone attacks. The argument ran thus: Why is there such a unanimous outcry against the shooting of this one girl, when numerous girls have been crippled and killed by American drones in Afghanistan? Why are the lives of drone victims so cheap, but the life of Malala so significant?
As the argument progressed, I heard such phrases as “the BBC blogger,” which portrayed Malala Yousufzai as something of a Western plant. If she was fighting for girls’ education against Taliban (who were against the US military presence), surely she was in favor of the US/West. The images of little Afghan girls in wheelchairs (victims of US drones) and the radiant face of Malala Yousufzai swiftly became pitted against each other in a nauseating battle of pawns.
The meme reads: “Do you know this girl? Have you seen her story on CNN or the BBC? Have you seen any breaking news about her on Geo, Dunya and Express? Have you updated your Facebook status to mention her? Have you seen any tweets about her? Have you ever heard that she was transported to hospital in an army helicopter? No, right? Yes, never – because she was wounded in a drone attack.”
I understand the reaction, on some level. In a college classroom, while discussing the injustice of the French headscarf ban, I heard someone challenge my focus on Western secularism by reminding me of the Taliban attack on Malala. I had been heartbroken over the attack, but suddenly, I found that I was being asked to perform my outrage, to prove that I wasn’t just opposed to secular, Western oppression of young girls but that I was similarly (or more) angered by sexist Muslims opposed to the education of girls.
It is true, of course, that there are plentiful spaces in Western discourse for anti-Muslim fundamentalist outrage. There is reason for suspicion of the ideological machinery that constantly attacks Muslims as sexist and opposed to girls’ education. The Western imperialist project continues to use girls and women as pawns against the Islamic threat.It is likewise true that the victims of drone attacks in Afghanistan and Pakistan are invisible, treated as collateral damage, yet embarrassing enough to be brushed under the carpet. Now we have virtual memes that actually shrug off such cases as that of Malala and challenge the so-called obsession of pro-Western discourse with gender equality.
Of course there are ideological spaces where such groups as the Pakistani Taliban proclaim their opposition to Malala and the “secularism” and “enlightened moderation” that she allegedly preaches. If she blogs against the Taliban role, the argument runs, she is (quite successfully!) whipping up people’s emotions against the mujahideen, so she is against Shariah and a legitimate target for said mujahideen. Apparently, in this argument, Taliban=mujahideen=Shariah=Islam.
In such a climate of constant ideological tussle, the task of upholding equality and opposing oppression becomes charged with unintended meanings. American military and political agendas infect the framing of all postcolonial struggles and debates. And within postcolonial contexts, anti-imperialist agendas constantly hijack the struggles of girls, women, minorities, and the poor. If you are outraged about the treatment of Christians in Pakistan, you must be pro-American; if you are suspicious of gender activism, you must be pro-fundamentalist. Activism for girls’ education or anti-imperialist political activism? Which memes will you post at your Facebook page? Which will you choose?
Meantime, people in Afghanistan and tribal areas of Pakistan struggle to make lives of meaning and dignity. Between American drones and Taliban guns, forced to choose sides, they find themselves to be mere pawns – mere objects, mere jpegs in a Facebook meme.

The Special Relationship is an American/British political film directed by Richard Loncraine from a screenplay by Peter Morgan. It stars Michael Sheen as Tony Blair and Dennis Quaid and Bill Clinton.
It’s the third film in Morgan’s informal Blair trilogy, which dramatizes the political career of Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Tony Blair (1997-2007), following The Deal (2003) and The Queen (2006), both directed by Stephen Frears.
The first drafts of The Special Relationship dealt with Blair’s working relationships with Presidents of the United States Bill Clinton (1993-2001) and George W. Bush (2001-2009). But Morgan excised the Bush scenes from subsequent drafts because he found the Blair/Clinton dynamic more interesting. He intended to make his directorial debut with the film but backed out a month before filming began and was replaced by Loncraine. The film is produced by Rainmark Films and backed by HBO Films and BBC Films.
The film also stars Hope Davis as Hillary Rodham Clinton, and Helen McCrory as Cherie Blair. Principal photography on locations in and around London, England ran from July 20 to September 4, 2009. The film will be broadcast on HBO in the United States on May 29, 2010. Optimum Releasing will distribute it in cinemas in the United Kingdom on May 7, 2010.

Colin Firth loves a good costume drama. From Pride and Prejudice to the new take on Dorian Gray (check out the trailer for that here) the Firthster is there with the frilly shirt and the smouldering look.
However, he has been known to star in films set in the modern day and Michael Winterbottom’s Genova is one of them.
The good people of Way to Blue have provided me with 4 copies of the DVD – Certificate 15, Region 2, PAL. Open to anyone in the World. To be in with a chance to win one all you have to do is send me the answer to the following question:
Name four Colin Firth films that are not costume dramas
So any films set in the modern day apart from Genova and no sequels allowed!
Email me the answer with the subject “GENOVA COMP” and include your name and address – Closing date is Sunday 13th September. The four winners will be chosen at random. My decision is final.
A haunting, eerie journey to a place where souls stir and hearts go to mend themselves, Genova is the dark, brooding voyage of discovery for one family, torn apart by tragedy.
With its sun drenched vistas and shadow-cloaked alleyways, and Italian town of Genova provides a fresh start for Joe and his two young daughters. Seeking new lives after the sudden death of their mother they’re all looking for something. As Joe throws himself into study and possible new relationships, the teenage Kelly loses herself in the underbelly of this mysterious new world.
But it’s youngest daughter Mary who is affected by this mystifying and alluring paradise. And then she sees the ghost of her mother wandering the streets…
With echoes of Nicholas Roeg’s seminal Don’t Look Now, this acclaimed, stunning new film from the multi-award winning Michael Winterbottom (A Mighty Heart) stars Colin Firth (Mama Mia), Catherine Keener (Being John Malkovich), Hope Davis (Synecdoche, New York), Willa Holland (The O.C.) and Perla Haney-Jardine (Kill Bill Vol. 2)

Psychosocial Development and Your TeenDec 05, 2020 10:26AM ● By Southeastern Directions for Life
By: Southeastern Directions for Life
Erik Erikson was a psychologist who was best known for his theory of psychosocial development and believed that personality developed in a series of stages. Erikson’s theory maintains that a person passes through eight developmental stages throughout their lifespan that build upon each other. At each stage, the individual faces a crisis. By resolving the crisis, the person develops strengths or traits that help them become confident and healthy individuals. If they fail to deal effectively with these conflicts, they may not develop the essential skills needed for a strong sense of self.
The fifth stage of Erikson’s theory is “identity vs. role confusion.” This stage happens during the adolescent years, when most teenagers are beginning to explore and experiment with different “selves” or roles. Erikson saw this as a period of confusion and experimentation regarding identity and one’s life path. He described adolescence as “psychological moratorium” where teens put on hold commitment to an identity while exploring options.
By changing how they look, think, and act, they are considering what their roles in society will be. Teenagers are faced with questions such as “Who am I?” and “How do I fit into this world?” Young people’s identities are shaped by different factors, such as family, cultural and societal expectations, experiences at school, media and friends. As adolescents make choices that shape their identity, they select the environment and the people that they want to be around and adjust their beliefs and behaviors based on feedback and their experiences.
Parents and caregivers can support their adolescent during this stage by providing guidance, encouragement, and reinforcement. It’s important to be open as they try out different presentations of themselves, while also being consistent with rules and boundaries to help keep them safe, especially if the choices being made involve risky behaviors.
A parent’s support and encouragement, along with your child’s own experiences and exploration will help them emerge from this stage with a strong sense of self and a feeling of independence and control.

China reported a document variety of native Covid-19 instances on Monday, as authorities prolonged a sweeping lockdown in Shanghai in an effort to curb the nation’s worst outbreak in additional than two years.
China recorded greater than 16,400 new native Covid instances for Monday, in accordance with the Nationwide Well being Fee, the very best each day tally in mainland China in additional than two years. Greater than 80% of the newest each day instances had been in Shanghai, the fee stated on Tuesday.
China’s pandemic defenses are going through their sternest take a look at since Covid-19 first unfold extensively within the central metropolis of Wuhan in early 2020. The extremely infectious Omicron variant has led to spiraling case counts throughout the nation, posing a problem for Chinese language President Xi Jinping forward of an essential Communist Get together Congress later this 12 months, when he’s anticipated to be sworn in for a precedent-breaking third time period in workplace. China has beforehand touted its success at having the ability to shortly and comparatively painlessly management Covid outbreaks.
Authorities in Shanghai, China’s monetary hub, stated late Monday they’d maintain town of 25 million residents shuttered, despite the fact that an authentic two-stage lockdown was set to finish Tuesday. Officers stated the lockdown would proceed whereas the state of affairs is evaluated and the results of citywide Covid testing is analyzed.
Shanghai reported over 13,000 new native infections Tuesday, China’s well being fee stated. The whole case depend was greater than triple the quantity reported 9 days in the past, when it introduced it might lock down town in two phases.
At the very least 390 areas in populous provinces reminiscent of Guangdong, Jilin and Shandong, have been labeled medium or excessive danger, in accordance with the well being fee. Any space labeled as such is topic to some type of lockdown and sealed off from different areas, in accordance with official steering issued by the well being fee final Could.
In China, native authorities have adhered to a technique of attempting to stamp out outbreaks shortly wherever they happen, leading to sudden and sometimes broad lockdowns which have paralyzed cities and confined hundreds of thousands of residents to their houses. The disruptions have additionally interrupted manufacturing unit manufacturing, enterprise operations and exacerbated supply-chain snarls within the nation.
China’s earlier Covid case document was recorded on Feb. 12, 2020, when 15,000 instances had been reported, the majority of them in Hubei province, the capital of which is Wuhan. Since then, there have been sporadic outbreaks in areas together with the northwestern province of Jilin and the economically essential coastal metropolis of Shenzhen. Hong Kong has additionally been mired in its personal Covid wave since late February, although instances have declined not too long ago to round 3,000 a day.
The choice to increase the Shanghai lockdown got here amid a go to by Vice Premier Solar Chunlan, the official charged by Mr. Xi to steer the battle in opposition to the virus. After inspecting testing websites and quarantine facilities, Ms. Solar urged native officers to work towards stamping out the unfold within the metropolis as shortly as attainable, in accordance with an announcement posted on Shanghai’s authorities web site.
For the reason that outbreak, hundreds of medical employees, together with from the Individuals’s Liberation Military, have gone to Shanghai to assist with mass testing and logistics.
Over the previous two years, the monetary hub, with a neighborhood financial system of over $660 billion in 2021, had tried to keep away from a blanket lockdown and as a substitute relied on extra focused restrictions, specializing in retailers or buildings the place infections had been discovered.
This extended shutdown coincides with the Qingming Pageant, a Chinese language nationwide vacation often known as Tomb-Sweeping Day, historically reserved for folks to go to their ancestors’ graves. With cemeteries closed and in-person tomb-sweeping occasions banned by the municipal authorities, Shanghai residents have sought inventive methods to pay their respects to the useless.
Many have turned to “tomb-sweeping by way of valet” or digital tomb sweeping. At the very least one main state-owned cemetery in Shanghai is offering flower supply to gravesites on behalf of households. Shoppers make their orders on-line, and an worker on the cemetery will dwell stream your complete ritual, from bowing to the tombstone to lighting incense and providing up flowers.
Hong Kong-listed Fu Shou Yuan Worldwide Group Ltd., a big burial- and funeral-services supplier, presents Chinese language households the choice to buy flowers and choices to be delivered by a staffer. These vary from about $5.50 for a bouquet of chrysanthemums to round $100 for a consultant to gentle incense, set out meals choices and clear the tombstone.
Chinese language officers have additionally been encouraging households to keep away from journey and to supply their prayers on-line. The Ministry of Civil Affairs stated in an announcement on March 21 that this 12 months’s Qingming Pageant can be a “main take a look at” for China’s Covid-prevention efforts.
On April 3, the primary day of the three-day Qingming vacation, the variety of folks visiting cemeteries in particular person fell by 69.8% to five.83 million, information from the ministry confirmed.

Not one, not two, but four Pokemon have been announced as playable fighters in Pokken Tournament. Braixen, Mewtwo, and Garchomp were confirmed in the latest issue of CoroCoro magazine, and Chandelure was posted on the official Pokken Tournament website. The Chandelure picture is above, and here’s the CoroCoro ad.
According to the CoroCoro image, Braixen is a long distance fighter, and Garchomp is quick and strong. Mewtwo will most likely play similarly to his Shadow version, albeit with a less violent way about him. Chandelure is a complete mystery, and I hope they post a trailer for it soon.
Pokken Tournament still has no official release date in the US, but the official gamepad is set for June 30th of this year, so that’s a safe bet.

BMW's first purpose-designed electric sedan made its global debut online. Called i4, and previewed by a close-to-production concept in 2020, it was developed as a battery-powered alternative to the 3 Series.
Designers made several tweaks to the i4 to turn it into a production car. Yes, the colossal grille remains. It's controversial, but BMW told Autoblog it's standing by it. The air intakes on either side of it are smaller than on the concept, and the headlights wear a more production-friendly design. Out back, the air diffuser is subtler and more cleanly integrated into the bumper. The long hood and the fastback-like roof line haven't changed, however.
Interior photos are a piece of the i4 puzzle that's still missing. We know the sedan will share its iDrive 8 infotainment system with the electric iX crossover. The software will be shown on a dashboard-mounted curved-glass display.
BMW chose not to release full technical specifications about the i4, noting only that the lineup will include several versions. The efficiency champ will be able to cover up to 300 miles on a charge, according to early estimates, while the quickest model will reach 60 mph from a stop in about four seconds thanks to a 530-horsepower drivetrain. As we previously reported, the sedan will be built on a 1,212-pound, 80-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack. Every configuration regardless of horsepower or range will use BMW's fifth-generation electric drive technology.
More information about the BMW i4 will emerge soon, and we expect to see the i4 in showrooms for the 2022 model year. When it lands, it will compete against the Tesla Model 3 and the Polestar 2, among other upmarket EVs.

It has been some time since I released a new track, but I’m getting back in the game! World Flow is a banging track with a heavy kick and some shining stab synths. This is accompanied by some sweet pulse shaped arpeggii that sweeten the track with some melody.
Also, I’m reaching out to a new label with Tecnomind Music which have been rising in the last months when it comes to Trance. I’m just so excited to get this track on the way on June 12th, 2020!

Protecting Wildlife for the futureRegisered charity no. 222212
Derbyshire Wildlife Trust was commissioned to survey the pond as part of the Wild About Ponds Project and provide management recommendations based upon the findings of the survey.
Map 1 shows the location of the pond although it has to be recognised that since the preparation of the map the pond has been largely enclosed within substantial housing development. The pond is an old field pond which has been retained within the recent housing development to the west of Station Road in Mickleover. The pond provides no functional use in terms of flood alleviation but is set behind an ornamental fence with potential to provide aesthetic appeal and well as provide biodiversity benefits. The pond is still under the ownership of Miller Homes but will eventually transfer to Derby City Council Parks Department.
The pond was surveyed as part of the 2004/5 Derby City Pond Survey and was also the subject of survey work for great crested newt in association with the surrounding housing development during the same period. The results of the survey identified the presence of breeding Common Frog but no species of newts were found.
The pond has always been considered to be a temporary, seasonal water body which regularly dries out during the summer months.
During the period 2008/9 it was noted that the pond had become dominated by Floating Sweet-grass, Glyceria fluitans, resulting in the presence of very little open water with the exception of a small area at the foot of the mature oak tree which stands on the northern bank of the pond. The extensive and luxuriant sward of Glyceria also resulted in the accelerated drying out of the pond during the late spring/early summer months.
Attempts were made by the Derby City Pond Wardens Association to clear the Glyceria by hand during February 2009 but it was found to be too well-established to have any noticeable effect.
The aim of the survey was to gather ecological information using the PSYM methodology in order to determine the overall ecological quality of the pond and inform management recommendations to enhance the biodiversity value.
The survey followed the standard survey methodology known as PSYM developed by Pond Action (now Pond Conservation) and the Environment Agency. PSYM, the Predictive System for Multimetrics, (pronounced sim) was developed to provide a standard method for assessing the biological qualities of still waters in England and Wales.
The method uses a number of aquatic plant and invertebrate measures (known as metrics) which are combined together and fed into a computer model, along with basic environmental and location data, to obtain a single value which represents the waterbody’s overall quality status.
The following information was gathered for the pond:
The data collected from the surveys are used to calculate three plant metrics and three invertebrate metrics.
This is simply the number of submerged plant species plus the number of emergent plant species. The calculation does not include the number of floating-leaved species present. This is because the pond data suggest that the number of floating-leaved plants occurring at a site does not decline significantly with increasing degradation. The metric is therefore improved by omitting this plant group.
TRS is a measure of the average trophic rank for the pond. This is calculated by assigning each plant species with a trophic score based on its affinity to waters of a particular nutrient status. The trophic scores vary between 2.5 (dystrophic, i.e. very nutrient poor conditions) and eutrophic, i.e. nutrient rich conditions).
Unfortunately, not all plants have trophic scores. This situation has arisen because the current TRS values for standing waters (Palmer et al., 1992) are based only on analysis of lake data, and many plant species which are common in ponds occurred at too low a frequency in lakes to give them a score. Also, some plant species exhibit little nutrient preference.
The TRS value for a site is calculated as follows:
Uncommon species are those which have a rarity score of 2 or more. The number of these species is simply summed to give the number of uncommon species.
Uncommon species refers to species which can be best described as "local", "nationally scarce" or "Red Data Book". The rarity status values for Scarce and Red Data Book species are based on existing definitions derived from the Red data Books and other authorities. The definition of "local" has been used to define species which are not uniformly common and widespread in Britain: with plants this refers specifically to species recorded from between 100 and 700 10 x 10 km squares in England, Wales and Scotland.
The ASPT is calculated by summing the BMWP scores for all taxa present at the site and dividing by the total number of BMWP taxa present.
BMWP (Biological Monitoring Working Party) scores are assigned to taxa depending on their known tolerance to organic pollution, a higher score indicating lower tolerance. The scores were defined by Maitland in 1977.
This metric is the sum of the number of dragonfly (Odonata) and alderfly (Megaloptera) families.
This metric is the sum of the number of beetle (Coleoptera) families present at the site. The metric has a relationship with bank quality as well as water quality.
The pond was surveyed using the PSYM methodology enabling an assessment of its biological quality to be made together with a comparison with other ponds in the area.
The PSYM scores are placed in four categories which reflect the ecological quality of the pond:
0-25% is very poor, 26-50% is poor, 51-75% is fair, and 76-100% is good

It is in this area that the other main aquatic plant species occur, namely Fool’s Water-cress and Pink Water Speedwell. The latter species, until very recently was classed as a Derbyshire Red Data Book plant, but is still regarded as rather uncommon. The southern bank, near to the roadside, is marked by a fringe of Soft Rush and Hard Rush. A single clump of Celery-leaved Buttercup was present in the centre of the pond and Great Willowherb is occasional along with Bittersweet. The lack of submerged aquatic plant species as a result of the dense Glyceria growth is a major factor in the rather poor species diversity in terms of both aquatic plants and invertebrates.
Common Frog was regularly recorded using the pond as a breeding site during the period 2004/2005. Amphibian surveys in association with the surrounding development found no evidence of great crested newt.
A torchlight survey carried out on 23rd April 2010 found 3 female and 1 male smooth newt in the area of open water under the oak tree.
The main ecological concern with regard to the site is the domination of the pond with Floating weet-grass which has resulted in the presence of very little open water and the accelerated drying out of the pond during the late spring/summer period. This obviously significantly reduces the success rate of breeding amphibians. In addition the lack of submerged aquatic plant species reduces the suitability of the site for aquatic invertebrates which is reflected in the relatively poor PSYM score.
The removal of the majority of Floating Sweet-grass is the primary management objective together with the pruning back of the overhanging Hawthorn shrubs overhanging the western and northern banks in order to minimise the amount of leaf litter entering the pond. Both of these tasks should be carried out during the autumn period, ideally between the months of September to November in order to minimise impacts upon nesting birds and breeding amphibians.
It was determined during efforts by the Derby City Pond Wardens to clear the Glyceria from the pond by hand that the grass had become too well-established for manual clearance to have any noticeable effect.
Subsequently on 20th/21st October 2010, as part of the Wild About Ponds Project, the Glyceria was removed by machine following pruning back of the overhanging Hawthorn shrubs by BTCV. The removed material was deposited on the banks of the pond in order to give any invertebrates the opportunity to move back into the pond and the Hawthorn prunings were used to create habitat piles.
Future management should be in the form of annual PSYM and amphibian surveys to monitor the success of the Glyceria removal against the baseline information. The re-establishment of Glyceria should also be closely monitored.

The Peoria Pastor's Community Call To Action has been rescheduled to Thursday March 5th at 6:30 PM at the Dream Center located at 714 Hamilton Blvd. We will meet on the second floor in the Hamilton Conference room. Special thanks to Pastor John King and the Riverside Community Church Family.
In this vital meeting the Pastors hope to gain consensus on a far reaching community intervention plan. This plan called Peoria Safe Kids & Safe Families 2009 will be designed to create and focus on neighborhood initiatives and person to person contact with community members in order to help change lives.
Although this meeting is open to the public and interested persons, Pastors or their representatives are highly encouraged to attend and be present as this initiative will require the support of many churches a far reaching audience.
Questions About This Initiative:
Q~ My church and I are located in far North Peoria. How Can I be of impact in this effort?
A~ Although activities will be focused on statistically and speculated higher than average crime areas within inner City Peoria, this effort is inclusive of ALL of Peoria and ALL Peorians. Simply put, what happens in one area of town affects all Peorians. Each church and individual can be involved in developing a far reaching community plan as well as supporting interventions which they may be best suited to their membership makeup and ability to support. All "hands" will be appreciated and afforded opportunity to work, comment and provide input in this venture.
Q~ I want to maintain my religious identity. Will that be threatened?
A~ The efforts of the Peoria Assn. Of Pastors seek to be as doctrine neutral as possible. There is no ascription to certain doctrinal beliefs or religious affiliations for participation. The truth of the matter is that we realize that although we are a Christian organization participants that help this community may be from all corner and facets of the community. After all the community belongs to ALL of us. The mode, method and means for our outreach will be and most certainly is biblical from a Christian perspective, however anyone wishing to help need not be threatened by religious affiliation.
Q~ We have many prayer groups that already exist. Is this another one?
A~ The Peoria Safe Kids & Safe Families 2009 project is not a prayer fellowship such as we see with the Peoria Transformation Celebration, Peoria Prayer Furnace, PUSH Initiatives or the Peoria 40 Days Of Prayer. This initiative is a proactive action designed to physically and materially engage the culture with the Love of Christ. Of course "men should always pray and not faint" but the purpose of this gathering is to prayerfully place legs and actions of faith behind those prayers that have been prayed and continue to be prayed.
For additional information questions or comments regarding this or any other effort of the Peoria Assn. of Pastors, please don't hesitate to email Pastor Burnett at email@example.com or call (309)688-6599. remember that each one is vital to the health, success, and safety of the Peoria Illinois community.

LEXINGTON, Va. - Washington and Lee hit Bridgewater College with an 18-2 spurt to start the game Thursday night and the Eagles never recovered as the Generals pulled away for an 83-51 victory in the Duchossois Tennis Center.
W&L scored the first nine points of the game before Kayla Darr hit two foul shots to put the Eagles on the board with 6:48 left in the first quarter. The Generals pushed the lead to 18-2 before the Eagles hit their first shot from the floor, a layup by Diamond Huskey, with 2:45 remaining in the opening quarter.
Ahlia Moone opened the second quarter with a layup to pull the Eagles to within 12 points, 22-10. W&L's Molly Mann and Darr traded 3-pointers to keep the margin at 12 points, 25-13.
The Generals maintained a double-digit lead for the remainder of the second quarter and led 38-20 at the half. Cold shooting plagued the Eagles throughout the opening half as the team made just 8-of-34 field goal attempts.
W&L continued to pull away in the second half to close out the 83-51 victory.
Moone led the Eagles in scoring with nine points while Erin Hughes paced the Generals with 17.
Bridgewater is now 0-4 overall and 0-1 in the ODAC. The Eagles will look to grab their first win Sunday when they host William Peace.

Lagos cleric Primate Elijah Babatunde Ayodele, has revealed that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Prof. Kolapo Olusola, lost the Ekiti State governorship election due to alleged arrogance and over-confidence of his godfather, Governor Ayo Fayose.
Ayodele, who is the founder and head of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church with headquarters in Oke-Afa, Isolo, Lagos, said he warned Fayose about a year ago of an impending defeat but the governor rebuffed his warning.
The cleric, who hails from Ikere-Ekiti as Olusola revealed that he warned Fayose to change some of his alleged negative attributes which include ingratitude, arrogance and self-deception if he hopes to succeed in installing a successor.
He spoke during a visit to a branch of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church in Ikere-Ekiti where a special service and prayer programme was held.
According to him, it was wrong for Fayose to be claiming to be a prophet by releasing predictions believed to be politically motivated.
He attributed the loss of Olusola to the All Progressives Congress (APC) flag bearer, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, as “nemesis catching up with Fayose.”
He said: “We foresaw what eventually happened in Ekiti State more than a year ago. Ekiti is also my state. I am from this town, Ikere-Ekiti.
“God had asked me to warn Governor Fayose that he has a great deal of work to do to endear the hearts of Ekiti people to himself and also take care of certain human traits of his that could bring about his anointed candidate, Olusola’s defeat.
“Olusola is just a victim of the nemesis that eventually caught up with Fayose because instead of the governor to listen to voice of reason and prophetic utterances we provided for him, he branded us fake prophets but now he has seen it.”
Recall that Ayodele had predicted that Olusola of the PDP, though deserves to be the next governor of Ekiti State may not have it because of certain things Fayose needed to do which would only warm the hearts of Ekiti people towards him but also make his enemies not to triumph over him.
The prophet specifically revealed that the choice of Fayemi and some other contenders in the May 12 primary of the APC would enable the party to clinch victory.
Ayodele had predicted: “On the forthcoming election in Ekiti, PDP will lose. Kayode Fayemi will win if he listens to instructions, one of which is for him to concentrate on winning the hearts of the grassroots, and also watch his utterances that may offend much of Ekiti electorate.
“For Fayose and his party’s candidate, Olusola, Fayose must humble himself and work very hard to please Ekiti people, otherwise he would make his candidate lose.
“The forthcoming election in Ekiti State will be tough. It is only God that can make Fayose and his candidate to win that election. So, Fayemi should work hard, especially more with the grassroots and he will win if he does what I told him. But if he’s doing elitist politics, he will not win.”

The rise of The Stranglers
in the seventies happened as punk tock began to make an everlasting impression on the British music scene.
The Boston Strangler
murders changed the way the media and the nation talked about crime.
The best rule of thumb for dealing with strangler
figs is, except for one species named clusia, which rarely kills its host but requires an almost tropical environment, don't let them climb a valued tree.
Suffolk County District Attorney Daniel Conley announced that DNA taken from the body of the final strangler
victim, Sullivan, and a water bottle used by DeSalvo's nephew showed a familial match.
Conley said the developments in Sullivan's murder case have no bearing on the other homicides attributed to the Boston Strangler
But before you start feeling too sorry for him, remember - they don't call him the Strangler
because he gives slightly overthe-top hugs.
While Boston police had failed to crack their strangler
case, investigators quickly believed they had solved the Goldberg murder.
Desperate Housewives (Channel 4, Wednesday, 10pm) is hotting up nicely and the muddy waters around the identity of the Fairview Strangler
begin to clear.
I'M as horrified as everyone else over the prostitutes murdered by the Suffolk Strangler
Junger turns away from the destructive effects of the elements (Fire and A Perfect Storm) to write about deadly force of a very different kind: the Boston Strangler
murders of the 1960s.
Streetside mahoganies, strangler
figs, casuarinas, and other tropical species need to be replaced as quickly as possible.
As he has been part of the nearly thirty-year search and played a significant role in his arrest, Robert Beattie's inside account of the BTK strangler
is thorough and unique.

Investors who have been in the market for a long time know that investing is an emotional activity as much as it is a financial activity. This is the reason that people who have a higher degree of self-control generally tend to do better than their peers. Self-control bias may seem like an obvious and simple flaw. However, it has a profound effect on the behavior of any investor. The details of the self-control bias have been listed below:
What is Self-Control Bias?
Self-control bias stems from a behavioral flaw called hyperbolic discounting. As per hyperbolic discounting, there is an inherent flaw in the way investors perceive gains. They have a large appetite for short term gains. However, if they are asked to sacrifice short term gains for long term gains which will be much bigger, most will still choose the short term gains. Hence, investors have a skewed time preference, which negatively impacts their decision making. In simple words, investors with this bias are inclined towards spending more today at the expense of saving less for the future.
Self-control bias is not only seen in the financial world. It is also seen in the other walks of our daily life. For instance, people may be unable to lose weight despite knowing that it is in their best long term interest to do so. They may continuously choose to eat unhealthy food despite knowing that it will cause harm to them.
How Does Self Control Bias Impact Financial Decisions?
How to Manage Self Control Bias
The bottom line is that self-control bias is not small or frivolous. Like other behavioral biases, this bias also has a huge impact on the portfolio of the investor as well as the return that they gain from it.

Um Scraps Incubator Opts For Privatesector Ventures
Written by Jennifer Miller on July 27, 2000
By Jennifer Miller
University of Miami administrators have dropped a plan to build a high-tech incubator on campus, saying students majoring in information technology will be better trained by working with the private sector.
An incubator would have hatched high-tech startups and was to serve as a training ground for engineering students.
But after weighing its costs and services against community resources, officials say they decided in favor of using partnerships.
"We’re in the education business, not in the venture capital or incubator business," said M. Lewis Temares, dean of the UM College of Engineering. "If we can be the middle man and link students with someone who can provide a service better than we can, they will be better off."
Mr. Temares said incubators have always existed in engineering but the idea for a high-tech center took shape after students expressed the need for a facility to help them create and launch projects.
So far, he said, UM has established a partnership with Weston-based incubator Semtor Inc. Students can intern there this fall, he said.
"Semtor brings many facets to launch businesses to the table," said Harold Gubnitsky, company chairman & CEO. "We offer a facility with a communication infrastructure and help with business planning."
Mr. Gubnitsky says the company can get business models on-line in a rapid fashion. In addition, he said, students can benefit from building a network of alliance partners to cover accounting, legal and production needs, among others.
"This is an awesome opportunity for college students. In a semester they can see a company, starting from ground zero, move up in phases," Mr. Gubnitsky said. "Working with UM and sharing experiences with students is a win-win situation for the local community as well as Semtor."
Launched this year, Semtor nurses four or five startup companies, Mr. Gubnitsky says. Its building has 9,000 square feet but will be expanded to 14,000, he said.
Mr. Gubnitsky says Semtor invested money at UM to bring interns and support the continuation of their projects.
Fred Jackson, a business development executive for IBM and chair for One Community One Goal’s Information Technology Telecom task force, said UM links between education and the information technology business is right on the money.
"It’s a great idea," he said. "One Community One Goal research projects identified the partnering of schools and businesses as essential toward facilitating South Florida as an information technology hub."
Mr. Jackson said schools such as Florida Atlantic University, Florida International University and Miami-Dade Community College all have clearly outlined initiatives to identify the right skills for the information technology curriculum.
Curtis Charles, chief information officer of Miami-based MIT Inc. and chair of One Community One Goal’s Business & Industrial Linkage Committee, said there needs to be more accord among university plans for information technology programs.
"Before they go to industrial firms for help, they need to work among themselves and present a united front to the private sector," Mr. Charles said. "I would like to see some level of information technology consortium among universities. We need to have a united front to be competitive with other regions and schools, such as Georgia Tech in Atlanta and MIT in Cambridge."
Mr. Curtis said the region also should focus on trade schools as a source of potential information technology employees, and create certification programs for them. Details: (954) 349-4240 or semtor.com; UM College of Engineering, (305) 284-2404.

Topton Intel J4125 4x i225 Firewall Internal Hardware Overview
Inside the system, the processor is again the Intel Celeron J4125 quad-core CPU. We do have two or three Jasper Lake N5105/ N6005 units on order for around a month and yet do not have them in hand yet. This unit arrived much more quickly.
Inside the unit, we see a very similar layout with the same motherboard as with the Hunsn unit.
The mSATA SSD is a ShiJi 256GB unit here. We got extra capacity on the SSD as well as 16GB of RAM because we knew we wanted a virtualized solution. The SSD quality does make us nervous.
The SODIMM is a 16GB unit here.
Something we got feedback on with our previous review was for not installing a second SODIMM. Here is the SODIMM slot:
Here is another angle and we could not figure out where to insert a second SODIMM.
There is another WLAN mPCIe slot as well as headers (and a cable for) a 2.5″ SSD as well.
In terms of the NICs, we again have the Intel i225 and we can see the SLNMH here. That means that these are B3 stepping NICs. From what we understand, the B3 stepping is the 2.5GbE NIC you want.
Overall, this is a nice fanless package that will work well for a firewall or VPN appliance, but it is not going to be an extremely expandable system. That is OK as it is designed for its use case.
Next, let us discuss taking another step and virtualizing the solution.


HF and VHF-UHF Monitoring System is designed and integrated for the purpose of passive interception, logging and analysis of target HF or VHF/UHF radio links operating in frequency range from 1.5 MHz to 30 MHz. and 20 MHz to 3 GHz respectively. The frequency range can be enhanced up to 10 kHz in the lower band and up to 6 GHz in the upper band based on specific customer requirement.
The system has a Wideband Search and Intercept Receiver for wideband scanning of selected spectrum along with wideband direction finding to search and intercept radio transmissions in HF or VHF and UHF bands. These can be integrated with Multi-Channel Monitoring Receivers to intercept the radio communication frequencies of interest along with direction finding of individual narrowband signals.
The system is equipped with user friendly GUI for full control of the search, interception and monitoring receivers being provided as part of the system. The GUI also provides flexibility to view the received spectrum developed using 24 bit radix 2 complex FFT processing algorithm with variable processing bandwidths from 6.25 kHz to 50 kHz with very low frequency resolution. The system stores all the intercepted communication for detailed analysis of intercepted signals by respective operators.
The system can be integrated with a software based Direction Finding system for integrating multiple monitoring stations for detailed local map integration for location finding of target radio transmission stations. The system can be also integrated with a software based signal classifier and advanced protocol decoding system for decoding of data protocols used in radio transmissions.
The system can be provided in both static and transportable configurations where all the modules are seamlessly integrated to provide an integrated monitoring and surveillance platform to the operator for effective and efficient Interception process. The system can be easily fitted in a vehicle of customer choice.

Our forests are very important for a variety of reasons. They provide the necessary habitat as Protection for numerous animals, trees and plants and deliver us valuable resources . Wood grows in the forests, which we need for a wide variety of things. And last but not least, our forests are important oxygen producers. the International Forest Day at the March 21st reminds us how important forests are to us and why they should be respected and protected.
What makes the day of the forest so important?
Since 1971, the annual March 21st the so-called International Day of Forests, in EnglishInternational Day of Foresty, instead of. In the meantime, the United Nations even have it as a official theme and day of action accepted. Numerous events explain how important the world's forests are and why it is essential to protect them and use them sustainably. Especially due to climate change, the Day of the Forest has gained even more importance.
This year the day of action starts under the motto, Forest of the future - design now!. Above all, thee reforestation and the forest conversion in focus. Climate-stable forests are to be created, for example, through tree-planting campaigns. In this way, every interested citizen can be involved in order to actively do good independently.
What is the situation of forests on earth?
The consequences of climate change can be clearly seen when looking at the forests of the world. Nowadays there is only approx 30 percent the surface forests . Indiscriminate clearing and overexploitation are also progressing, and the area of forests is threatening to shrink further and further. The result could be that certain plants or animals will no longer exist at some point and the fauna and flora will decline significantly. This can have a negative impact on all of humanity.
The forests are a valuable producer of oxygen
Anyone who takes a closer look at forests knows, among other things, that they are huge and valuable oxygen producers are. By absorbing carbon and producing oxygen, trees have a major impact on stability of our climate and thus relieve our atmosphere. In Germany alone, the annual relief is over 50 million tonsCO2.
All this shows how important the forests are and why they need to be protected. Through sustainable forest management, we can protect the natural habitat more numerous Preserve trees, plants and animals . Each of us can do something to protect the environment. It is definitely worth using resources and energy more sparingly.
In order to delve deeper into the subject and gain insight into the undisturbed nature to obtain, ours are also excellently suited trail cameras. With this you can animals and plants both in nature and in home garden watch. So come here above all nature lovers at their expense, but also those interested in other ways will be amazed at the surprises and animal visitors that are hidden in nature.

I love it. There's a rigidity to their form that solidifies the concept and idea of the piece, yet the forms of their bodies are fluid enough to be highly aesthetically pleasing. Brilliant wok, very well done.

Apparently because everything that pertains to SF has to be pervy. I had a book on SF art and 'blatant exposure of giant giggly wigglies' was the main theme of about 75% of the paintings and 3D renderings there. It's actually kind of stupid, really.

With four more new restaurant openings this year, all in the fourth quarter, and an estimated 12–15 to open in 2023, Condado Tacos continues to grow at a record pace.

It’s exciting to see this culture we’ve built now becoming the backbone of our company, especially with so much growth ahead of us.”

I am trying to keep on top of the block swaps that I am participating in, and ultimately for me that means finishing the blocks as the envelopes with fabrics come in the mail box. Once filed they may be forgotten!
Donna from Craftjunk asked for two 10.5 inch blocks featuring simple and fun geometric shapes. Once completed Donna asked for the pre-cut border as provided to be added to each block.
These blocks will be used by Donna to make a quilt for her daughter who is turning 5 in April, and like most little girls that I know, her favorite color is pink.
The layout of the above block is featured in
Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Magazine
and is known as Daughter's Delight
I happened to find this magazine at my local newsagent and could not resist. It is a treasure trove of quilting ideas, and ideal for block swap inspiration. All of the blocks in the magazine finish at 12 inches, and most of them are relatively easy to re-size.
