How this was made:This beautiful dragon is made from resin mixed with that was mixed with translucent amber-coloured dye and filed with shiny gold and copper leaf flakes that shimmer different colours in different lights. This resin was then cast in a mould, made from a different template dragon that I handsculpted with polymerclay. After the resin had cured, I removed the dragon from the mould and shaded it with acrylic paints. I then added further polymerclay details that I painted with gold mica powders, before baking.
Extra information:From the 'extra additions' drop-down menu, please select whether you would like this dragon to come gift wrapped or not before adding it to your cart. :)
Amber and Gold Baby Resin Dragon
Any finished sculpture or item of jewellery of mine that you receive, should be relatively strong, but not indestructible. As such, adequate care should be taken to ensure that the piece is out of reach of pets, children, and the possibility of being dropped, as you would with any other fragile ornament in the home. That being said, it will be certainly be strong enough for moderate handling as you examine it and admire its unique features! :)
Will I have to pay extra for shipping/postage?
There is no additional charge for postage - all is included in the price of the dragon.
How many creations can I recieve from you in one go?
In one parcel, there will be sent a maximum of two to three creations, depending on their size. If you feel like going on a larger shopping spree (and I would not mind if you did!) expect to recieve two or three at a time, in different parcels that may be delivered on different days, depending on whether the creations you have ordered differ in the time they need to be prepared before posting (for instance, if one of your purchases includes a made-to-order item). Sending a couple of creations at a time in smaller packages is to keep postage costs down on my end, as I do not charge extra for p

The US presidential election ended on November 3, but it is still in confusion. The votes are being counted in several states, and it is reported by the media that Former Vice President Joe Biden gained more than a majority of the Electoral College votes or 270 (out of 538 votes in total). Meanwhile, President Donald Trump alleged fraud involvement in counting postal votes, and intended to file lawsuits in several states but with little evidence. Such being the case, arguments on the result of the election between the two has been going in a zig zag. The complexity of the US presidential election system like this has never been seen in any other presidential elections in the world. Before we argue the complexity of the system, one thing that is missing in the system is institutional organization concerning the management of the presidential election in each state in order to ensure the neutrality and fairness. I have always been concerned about the fragility of the US presidential election which is carried out by indirect voting under the Electoral College system that was adopted to meet the needs of the above-mentioned neutrality and fairness, and transparency which are prerequisite to democracy. Furthermore, President Trump’s unique characteristics might have accelerated the complication of the election.
The US is a leader of free nations, and it is said that since the US was a newly-born country that gained independence from old-fashioned Europe in 1776, it has been able to practice such principles as freedom, democracy, equality, and human rights as symbols of the country. In the early Meiji period (1868-1878), many Japanese leaders studied at various universities in the US and learned basic principles of democracy. Many countries in the world today recognize the US as a country that is playing a leading role, and they acknowledge its powerful presence and its huge territories. However, if the US cannot resolve the complicated domestic issues concerning the US presidential election this time, I must say that people will lose their long-standing awe for and reliance on the US.
After the US presidential election by popular vote in each state ended on November 3, the electors under the Electoral College system will hold meetings to vote for the President and Vice President in their states on December 14, and then the joint session of the US Congress certify the President and Vice President on January 6. The new presidential term will begin on January 20, 2021. If this confusion continues until January 20 next year, it will affect not only the US citizens but also many people in the world and cause anxiety and uneasiness.

Dear Senator Obama,
In your nearly two-year presidential campaign, the words ‘hope and change’, ‘change and hope’ have been your trademark declarations. Yet there is an asymmetry between those objectives and your political character that succumbs to contrary centres of power that want not ‘hope and change’ but the continuation of the power-entrenched status quo.
Far more than Senator McCain, you have received enormous, unprecedented contributions from corporate interests, Wall Street interests and, most interestingly, big corporate law firm attorneys. Never before has a Democratic nominee for president achieved this supremacy over his Republican counterpart. Why, apart from your unconditional vote for the $700 billion Wall Street bailout, are these large corporate interests investing so much in Senator Obama? Could it be that in your state senate record, your US senate record and your presidential campaign record (favouring nuclear power, coal plants, offshore oil drilling, corporate subsidies including the 1872 Mining Act and avoiding any comprehensive program to crack down on the corporate crime wave and the bloated, wasteful military budget, for example) you have shown that you are their man?
To advance change and hope, the presidential persona requires character, courage, integrity – not expediency, accommodation and short-range opportunism. Take, for example, your transformation from an articulate defender of Palestinian rights in Chicago before your run for the US Senate to an acolyte, a dittoman for the hard-line American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) lobby, which bolsters the militaristic oppression, occupation, blockage, colonization and land-water seizures over the years of the Palestinian peoples and their shrunken territories in the West Bank and Gaza. Eric Alterman summarized numerous polls in a December 2007 issue of The Nation magazine showing that AIPAC policies are opposed by a majority of Jewish-Americans.
You know quite well that only when the US Government supports the Israeli and Palestinian peace movements, that years ago worked out a detailed two-state solution (which is supported by a majority of Israelis and Palestinians), will there be a chance for a peaceful resolution of this 60-year plus conflict. Yet you align yourself with the hard-liners, so much so that in your infamous, demeaning speech to the AIPAC convention right after you gained the nomination of the Democratic Party, you supported an ‘undivided Jerusalem,’ and opposed negotiations with Hamas – the elected government in Gaza. Once again, you ignored the will of the Israeli people who, in a 1 March, 2008 poll by the respected newspaper Haaretz, showed that 64 percent of Israelis favoured ‘direct negotiations with Hamas.’ Siding with the AIPAC hard-liners is what one of the many leading Palestinians advocating dialogue and peace with the Israeli people was describing when he wrote ‘Anti-semitism today is the persecution of Palestinian society by the Israeli state.’
During your visit to Israel this summer, you scheduled a mere 45 minutes of your time for Palestinians with no news conference, and no visit to Palestinian refugee camps that would have focused the media on the brutalization of the Palestinians. Your trip supported the illegal, cruel blockade of Gaza in defiance of international law and the United Nations charter. You focused on southern Israeli casualties which during the past year have totalled one civilian casualty to every 400 Palestinian casualties on the Gaza side. Instead of a statesmanship that decried all violence and its replacement with acceptance of the Arab League’s 2002 proposal to permit a viable Palestinian state within the 1967 borders in return for full economic and diplomatic relations between Arab countries and Israel, you played the role of a cheap politician, leaving the area and Palestinians with the feeling of much shock and little awe.
David Levy, a former Israeli peace negotiator, described your trip succinctly: ‘There was almost a wilful display of indifference to the fact that there are two narratives here. This could serve him well as a candidate, but not as a president.’
Palestinian American commentator, Ali Abunimah, noted that Obama did not utter a single criticism of Israel, ‘of its relentless settlement and wall construction, of the closures that make life unliveable for millions of Palestinians … Even the Bush administration recently criticised Israeli’s use of cluster bombs against Lebanese civilians see [www.atfl.org for elaboration]. But Obama defended Israeli’s assault on Lebanon as an exercise of its ‘legitimate right to defend itself’.
In numerous columns Gideon Levy, writing in Haaretz, strongly criticized the Israeli government’s assault on civilians in Gaza, including attacks on ‘the heart of a crowded refugee camp … with horrible bloodshed’ in early 2008.
Israeli writer and peace advocate – Uri Avnery – described Obama’s appearance before AIPAC as one that ‘broke all records for obsequiousness and fawning, adding that Obama ‘is prepared to sacrifice the most basic American interests. After all, the US has a vital interest in achieving an Israeli-Palestinian peace that will allow it to find ways to the hearts of the Arab masses from Iraq to Morocco. Obama has harmed his image in the Muslim world and mortgaged his future – if and when he is elected president,’ he said, adding, ‘Of one thing I am certain: Obama’s declarations at the AIPAC conference are very, very bad for peace. And what is bad for peace is bad for Israel, bad for the world and bad for the Palestinian people.’
A further illustration of your deficiency of character is the way you turned your back on the Muslim-Americans in this country. You refused to send surrogates to speak to voters at their events. Having visited numerous churches and synagogues, you refused to visit a single Mosque in America. Even George W. Bush visited the Grand Mosque in Washington DC after 9/11 to express proper sentiments of tolerance before a frightened major religious group of innocents.
Although the New York Times published a major article on 24 June, 2008 titled ‘Muslim Voters Detect a Snub from Obama’ (by Andrea Elliott), citing examples of your aversion to these Americans who come from all walks of life, who serve in the armed forces and who work to live the American dream. Three days earlier the International Herald Tribune published an article by Roger Cohen titled ‘Why Obama Should Visit a Mosque.’ None of these comments and reports change your political bigotry against Muslim-Americans – even though your father was a Muslim from Kenya.
Perhaps nothing illustrated your utter lack of political courage or even the mildest version of this trait than your surrendering to demands of the hard-liners to prohibit former president Jimmy Carter from speaking at the Democratic National Convention. This is a tradition for former presidents and one accorded in prime time to Bill Clinton this year.
Here was a president who negotiated peace between Israel and Egypt, but his recent book pressing the dominant Israeli superpower to avoid Apartheid of the Palestinians and make peace was all that it took to sideline him. Instead of an important address to the nation by Jimmy Carter on this critical international problem, he was relegated to a stroll across the stage to ‘tumultuous applause’ following a showing of a film about the Carter Center’s post-Katrina work. Shame on you, Barack Obama!
But then your shameful behaviour has extended to many other areas of American life. (See the factual analysis by my running mate, Matt Gonzalez, on www.votenader.org). You have turned your back on the 100-million poor Americans composed of poor whites, African-Americans, and Latinos. You always mention helping the ‘middle class’ but you omit, repeatedly, mention of the ‘poor’ in America.
Should you be elected president, it must be more than an unprecedented upward career move following a brilliantly unprincipled campaign that spoke ‘change’ yet demonstrated actual obeisance to the concentration power of the ‘corporate supremacists.’ It must be about shifting the power from the few to the many. It must be a White House presided over by a black man who does not turn his back on the downtrodden here and abroad but challenges the forces of greed, dictatorial control of labour, consumers and taxpayers, and the militarization of foreign policy. It must be a White House that is transforming of American politics – opening it up to the public funding of elections (through voluntary approaches) – and allowing smaller candidates to have a chance to be heard on debates and in the fullness of their now restricted civil liberties. Call it a competitive democracy.
Your presidential campaign again and again has demonstrated cowardly stands. ‘Hope’, some say, springs eternal. But not when ‘reality’ consumes it daily.

An annual pipe festival to mark the epic feat pulled off after the 2013 flood to save the last remaining waterline into the city of Loveland might be a stretch, but not by much.
It was suggested in jest by Loveland Water Utilities Manager Chris Matkins ("Pipe-a-palooza," anyone?) on Wednesday during a grand opening event for the city's new 48-inch water line from the Chasteen's Grove Water Treatment Plant in the Big Thompson Canyon. The $4.8 million project to install 4,500 feet of pipe to replace lines that were destroyed last September was completed at a rate unheard of with such projects, Matkins said.
"We're here today to celebrate a freshly-installed pipe, but more than that, we're here to talk about the people who were instrumental in making this happen," he said. "There are a lot of unsung heroes in this effort."
The effort started in the throes of the September flood, when staff at the Water Treatment Plant realized that of the three lines that deliver water from the plant to the city, two had been torn apart just north of U.S. 34. The last one remaining, a 48-inch line, was also exposed and threatened by the raging floodwaters.
Speaking during Wednesday's event, City Manager Bill Cahill remembered the moment when Loveland Water and Power Director Steve Adams reported, "We have a problem."
"We had to make sure it didn't go," Cahill said of the remaining line.
Tom Greene, a 26-year employee of Loveland Water and Power, took the lead in the project to save the critical waterline. It was accomplished with a host of consultants, engineers and staff members and involved moving the river in order to bury the line and keep it operational.
"A lot of people stepped up in different roles that they've never had before," Adams said.
Staff ordered 4,500 feet of 48-inch steel pipe at the end of last year, and work to install it started in March, led by project manager Tanner Randall. The new line replaces the smaller 36-inch and 20-inch lines that were destroyed, and was built to be more resilient. It's located parallel to the existing 48-inch line but farther away from the banks of the river to withstand a 500-year flood event, Adams said.
"The next time someone has a problem with this water line, they'll also be in an arc," he said.
Completion of the project ran a couple of weeks behind but is just in time for peak irrigation week, Matkins said. Without the new line, city residents would likely face restrictions on water use this summer.
"I really am not sure that all of our citizens really understand what the ultimate consequences would have been had we not had the terrific work from our staff and all of our contractors," Mayor Cecil Gutierrez said. "We would be having a different conversation about water."

Just picked up my first and only P-08. I am familiar with the basic history of the "double stamp" but I have some questions. The pistol is in very good condition with 98% bluing and no pitting. It is stamped 1920/1917. Serial number is 889x (no letters). Frame has all the usual marks and all numbers match including grips but not mag. Mag is fyo, 37 with a black plastic pull. The bore is excellent however it does not appear to be original. The barrel has no markings except a very small stamped 62 under the barrel by the frame. Frame is also stamped with a crown over RC. Unit markings indicate 17th Reserve Infantry No.51. My questions are: The condition of the pistol does not indicate that it would have needed a barrel replacement. Any thoughts on this? Also what would have been the proper marked magazine for it (Wood pulls, etc..) Any other notes are appreciated. Thanks.

Five Good Covers presents five cross-genre reinterpretations of an oft-covered song.
Nine Inch Nails, originally formed in Cleveland, Ohio, gets a chance to return to their start with an induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year. The third time was the charm; they were nominated in 2014 and 2015 as well.
The band is still active despite many hiatuses throughout their career. For example, did you know that Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road” samples a Nine Inch Nails song from one of their instrumental Ghosts albums (the latest, Ghosts V, released this year)? Longstanding band members Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross have even been involved in writing movie scores for films and television shows such as The Social Network, Gone Girl, and Watchmen.
But back in 1994, their second album The Downward Spiral, a concept album tracing a man’s deteriorating life, brought the band into the mainstream and gave them commercial success. Although one of the singles off this album, “Closer,” is arguably their most popular hit, another of the album’s tracks, “Hurt,” has stood the test of time. It’s been covered most notably by Johnny Cash, but it’s also featured in movies, television shows, and even in sports montages and tributes.
To celebrate Nine Inch Nails’s induction, we revisit “Hurt” with five good covers and one good twist–all of them are by female artists.
Leona Lewis – Hurt (Nine Inch Nails cover)
Leona Lewis’s experience with singing “keep bleeding” makes her a natural choice to cover this song. She reaches low to handle the deep verses and then moves to her usual range in the choruses. Her version creates the dissonant background music with piano rather than guitar, and this version is sans industrial background white noise. The original uses percussion to build in the choruses, but we get a little less intensity in the buildup here. Lewis and the background instrumentation increases volume and feeling in the second verse and reaches even greater heights in both during the second iteration of the chorus. Where the original ends with some dramatic sounds that fade out into more white noise, this version leaves us where it found us, with the simple piano.
Claire Denamur – Hurt (Nine Inch Nails cover)
French artist Claire Denamur creates a simple cover, accompanied by a lone acoustic guitar. Her deep and smoky vocals fit the song’s ambiance. However, you won’t hear any dramatic changes in volume or instrumental intensity in this version. Denamur’s approach yields a little more introspection rather than leaning in to bleak depression. The conclusion of the chorus is more matter of fact: take me as I am.
Unwoman – Hurt (Nine Inch Nails cover)
Unwoman is a cellist and singer who people have a hard time putting in a box. Words like “goth” and “synth pop” crop up, but you’ll just have to hear for yourself and try to pick a label. If you were missing the song’s drama in the previous cover, this one definitely brings it back. The mix of cello and sonorous and deep percussion merge together to create a full and ominous background sound to the strong and clear vocals. A xylophone occasionally chimes in and provides a more whimsical alternative to the industrial sounds in the original. It somehow doesn’t take away from the seriousness of the song. The end comes all of a sudden with a slightly dissonant mix of new sounds, reminiscent of the original’s unique ending.
Youn Sun Nah – Hurt (Nine Inch Nails cover)
Back to acoustic takes on the song. Youn Sun Nah is a Korean musician known for her jazz style. Her cover is distinguished by its more precise and full sounding plucking. We get an appropriately mournful overall mood. Small yet impactful choices like drawing out the word “down” and decreasing the pitch as it is enunciated make this cover stand out.
Sandi Thom – Hurt (Nine Inch Nails cover)
We’ll close with Scottish singer, Sandi Thom. Again we get a simple acoustic guitar as the background instrumentation, but this cover really stands out for its vocals. Thom’s voice is the most resonant, contrasting the deep, whispered at times, original, and we really get to feel the emotion throughout. This cover’s ending follows the outro with the chorus one last time, which actually makes the song a little less hopeful. We’re no longer leaving on a promise to “find a way” but rather with a reminder of a let down and ultimate hurt.

ABB, the power and automation technology group, has announced that its Onboard DC Grid will receive a Spotlight on New Technology Award at the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) held in Houston from 6-9 May 2013
The awards honoured innovative technologies for the oil and gas industry and related energy sectors with the potential to significantly impact offshore exploration and production.
Designed for a wide range of vessels, ABB’s Onboard DC Grid is a highly efficient power distribution, automation and electric propulsion system that significantly reduce fuel consumption and emissions by up to 20 per cent and space needed onboard for electric equipment by up to 30 per cent.
Technologies considered for the Spotlight on New Technology must meet five general criteria—they must be new (less than two years old), innovative (original, groundbreaking and capable of revolutionising the offshore exploration and production industry), proven, of broad interest and appeal to the industry, and have significant impact (offer efficiency and environmental benefits beyond existing technologies). A committee made up of representatives from the OTC Board and programme committee judged the entries and chose the winners.
“We are honoured to be recognised by OTC with this important award,” said Jon Olson, region division manager, process automation, North America for ABB. “This underscores our commitment to providing leading-edge solutions to help our energy industry customers improve their overall efficiency while meeting environmental requirements.”
Different from traditional electrical propulsion systems, ABB's Onboard DC Grid connects all DC links and distributes the power through one main DC circuit, providing significant power savings and optimising the ship’s propulsion. As the ship's engines no longer have to run at a fixed speed, the engine’s speed can be adjusted to optimise fuel consumption.
In addition, ABB’s Onboard DC Grid reduces the footprint and weight of the electrical equipment used by up to 30 percent, by eliminating the need for bulky transformers and main switchboards. That leaves more space on the vessels for cargo, larger fuel tanks, or increased workspace areas, and provides greater flexibility in the positioning of system components in the vessel. It also enables connection of supplementary DC energy sources such as solar panels, fuel cells, or batteries, directly into the ship's DC electrical system, for further fuel savings.
ABB’s Onboard DC Grid applies to a wide range of ships with low-voltage onboard power systems such as offshore support vessels, tug boats, ferries and yachts. The first vessel to be equipped with a full Onboard DC Grid system is a Platform Support Vessel (PSV) under construction now at Norwegian shipyard Kleven for the owner Myklebusthaug Offshore.
The Offshore Technology Conference is the world’s foremost event for the development of offshore resources in the fields of drilling, exploration, production, and environmental protection. OTC is held annually at Reliant Center in Houston.
At OTC, ABB highlighted its full line of solutions above and below the water for the global oil and gas industry. These solutions included integrated automation and electrification systems, telecommunications, instrumentation and life cycle services to the complete energy value chain. ABB Group company Baldor Electric had a range of its industrial electric motors, mechanical power transmission products, drives and generators, while fellow ABB firm Thomas & Betts showcased its range of electrical components and solutions for the oil and gas industry.

We are pleased to introduce one more issue of our EHS newsletter. This issue comes at a very important time for our community, country and world, at a time when we all are facing a great challenge.
Governor Abbott recently issued a disaster proclamation to all counties in the state of Texas stating that the Coronavirus is a public health disaster and urging everyone to work together to prevent the spread of the virus in their communities. We are confident that the measures that public health officials are implementing will serve to contain the transmission of new cases. However, we have been preparing to face the worst case scenario in the event of an outbreak happens in the communities we serve. Let’s hope and trust that this does not happen.
In response, Emergency Hospital Systems (EHS) has activated its Emergency Management Plan, which comprises a series of procedures aimed at safeguarding the health and integrity of our patients, staff and community.

International and European Protection of the Right to Strike by Tonia Novitz
Book DescriptionIn a time of controversy over the relevance and utility of industrial action, this book outlines the case for protection of a right to strike. It argues that such a right can be viewed as civil, political and socio-economic in nature, depending upon one's conception of 'good governance' and 'democratic participation' at the national level. This has consequences for what is perceived to be the appropriate scope of the right and the extent of any legitimate exceptions. Critics of domestic labour legislation tend to appeal to international and European standards, chiefly those promulgated by the International Labour Organisation (ILO), the Council of Europe and the European Union (EU). All these organisations acknowledge the importance of a right to strike, but they differ in the manner in which the right is defined and protected. This book suggests that this is because each organisation adopts a distinctive view of the appropriate justificatory basis of this entitlement. This work also addresses current enthusiasm for reforming the governance of international and European organisations which would bolster their legitimacy. It is suggested that, despite the entrenched structures and cultural norms of each institution, such a process of reform could lead to greater consistency of standards relating to the right to strike. A crucial question for workers, in the light of these developments, is whether there will be a 'levelling up' of rights or diminishing protection for those who organise or participate in industrial action. This book ends by considering the current responses of the ILO, the Council of Europe and the EU to these forces for change.

Stocks rallied sharply during the final half hour of trading with oil and energy stocks leading the way. The Dow gained 124.79 (+1.44%) while the Nasdaq picked up 41.45 (+0.69%). Advancing stocks led by 2-½ to 1 on the NYSE and 17 to 10 on the Nasdaq. The December lows are in the process of being tested and there is a good chance they will be taken out. We say this because our overbought/oversold indicator has yet to register a heavily oversold reading during this current pullback. The Nasdaq, S&P 500 and Dow all moved to within striking distance of their December lows today. In fact, at one point, the Dow was trading below its December intraday lows of 17,389.

JK Rowling today disclosed how pro-trans activists bombard her with copy and pasted messages about imaginary children ‘upset at her views’.
The Harry Potter and Strike writer, 57, showed examples of different Twitteraccounts posting identical messages to her.
All of them claim they are parents who have a trans daughter who is ‘heartbroken’ over her views on gender.
Viewed together, it is undeniable some of the messages are identical and have clearly been copied.
Mother-of-three Ms Rowling has campaigned for women’s rights and female-only spaces amid safety fears predatory men could pose as women to use them.
But an extremist fringe of the pro trans movement have twisted this to suggest she is transphobic.

The Governor of Bayelsa State, Senator Douye Diri has called on the Federal Government to tackle the issue of food insecurity in the country with all the seriousness it deserves.
Diri made the call on Tuesday in Government House, Yenagoa, while receiving the Technical Working Group, South-South, which is a subcommittee under the Federal Government’s Committee on Prevention of Flooding in Nigeria.
Speaking through his Deputy, Senator Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo, the Governor said the issue of food insecurity had been worsened by the devastating flood of 2022 in Bayelsa and other affected states.
Consequently, he urged the federal government to distribute the tonnes of rice and other food items impounded by the Nigerian Customs Service as part of its short-term post-flood management measures in states badly affected by the flood.
Pointing out that Bayelsa’s location at the lowest base of the river basin makes it most flood-prone, Governor Diri stressed the need to consider the peculiarities of the state for any effort at flood prevention to be effective and successful in the state.
According to him, the ecological problems of flooding and erosion which bedevil several communities across the state were inseparable.
He, therefore, called on all relevant Federal Government agencies to recalibrate the design of their programmes to tackle the twin problems effectively.
The Bayelsa Chief Executive, however, assured the team of his administration’s preparedness to work closely with the federal government on measures to tackle the challenge posed by the yearly flooding challenge in the state.
“First of all, I want to commend you for putting these issues in the right perspective. The two rivers (Niger and Benue) all empty their waters through the river basin, which is Bayelsa, into the ocean.
“Bayelsa is one of the most impacted states in the last flood, the waters rose by about 4.6 metres high.
“The last flood itself was a disaster, but with due respect to the Federal Government, its management of the flood portended doom for the entire country.

“We are supposed to do residual farming, but because of the flood, we have not been able to do that. We are going to have food insecurity in the country. And we all know that food insecurity is more dangerous than conventional insecurity.
“There are lots grains that have been seized by the Customs Service, which have been declared nobody’s property. What stops the Federal Government from distributing those grains to the states badly affected by the flood?” he queried.
Speaking earlier, the Team Lead of the Technical Working Group, South-South, Mr Clement Nze, said they were in Bayelsa to look at locations badly impacted by the flood and the various measures taken by the State Government to control flooding.
Engineer Nze, who is also the Director General of the Nigerian Hydrological Services Agency (NHSA), expressed hope that the current short, mid and long-term plans of the Federal Government on flooding were aimed at tackling the problem holistically in the country.
The Team Lead, who said the group had visited some areas and road infrastructure in the state that were impacted by the recent flood, including the Yenagoa-Amassoma Road, commended the state government’s post-flood management efforts.

Precautions for mattress purchase
What are the precautions when buying a mattress?
Sleep is related to people's health. The quality of mattresses directly affects people's sleep. When purchasing mattresses, you should pay attention to the following matters:
1. Look at the quality of the mattress from the product logo
Whether genuine mattresses are brown mattresses, spring cushions or cotton mattresses, the product logo has the product name, registered trademark, manufacturer's name, address and contact number, and some are also equipped with qualification certificates and credit cards. The vast majority of mattresses without factory name, address and registered trademark sold on the market are fake and shoddy products with inferior quality and low price.
2. Judging mattress quality from fabric workmanship
The connection of high-quality mattress fabric has the same tightness, no obvious wrinkles, no floating wires and jumpers; The seam edge and four corner arc are symmetrical, there is no rough edge, and the dental floss is straight. When pressing the mattress by hand, there is no friction sound inside, and the feel is crisp and comfortable. Poor quality mattress fabrics often have inconsistent paper seam tightness, floating thread and jumper, uneven seam edge and four corner arc, and uneven dental floss.
3. The advantages and disadvantages of spring soft mattress from the perspective of internal materials
The number of springs used for spring mattress and the diameter of steel wire determine the soft and hard of spring mattress. Press the surface of the spring mattress with bare hands. If the spring rings, it indicates that there is a quality problem with the spring. If it is found that the spring is rusty, the lining material is worn gunny bags or flocculent fiber products opened from industrial leftovers, the spring soft mattress is of inferior quality.
4. when purchasing cotton mattresses, beware of "black core cotton"“
"Black heart cotton" is a synonym for inferior cotton floc. "Black heart cotton" does not meet the relevant national health standards. Sleeping on the "black heart cotton" mattress often will damage your health.
Sleeping on an inappropriate mattress for a long time will affect the health of the spine. Many people's back pain is also caused by not choosing the right mattress. Many consumers believe that the harder the mattress is, the better, or the softer the mattress is. Some elderly consumers believe that the harder the mattress, the more comfortable it is to sleep, while many brands in the market are promoting soft mattresses.
So, is the mattress the harder the better, or the softer the better? The reporter asked the person in charge of a number of mattress stores. They all said that the softness and hardness of mattresses is a point that consumers need to pay attention to when choosing to buy mattresses. The ideal mattress should be moderate soft and hard, which can perfectly support every part of your body and support every part of the body evenly according to the human body curve and weight. Too soft or too hard mattress will destroy the natural physiological radian of the spine.
How to measure the softness and hardness of mattress
How about moderately soft and hard? The simplest measurement method is: lie on your back and stretch your hand inward to see if there is a gap between the three obvious bends of the neck, waist, buttocks and thighs; Then turn over to one side and try the same method to see if there is a gap between the concave part of the body curve and the mattress. If not, it proves that the mattress is closely consistent with the natural curve of the neck, back, waist, hips and legs during sleep. Such a mattress can be said to be moderately soft and hard. Everyone has different preferences for the soft and hard mattresses. Some people like to sleep in hard beds, while others like to sleep in soft beds. What hardness mattresses are good mattresses? Thirty years ago, there was a discussion in Germany about whether a hard mattress or a soft mattress was good. That discussion attracted the participation of the German Bachelor of ergonomics and led to the study of human sleep posture. The result of the study is that both hard and soft mattresses are harmful to human health and sleep, and the correct mattress should be a high elastic mattress. In other words, when the force applied to the mattress is large, the mattress should fall much more and produce more support to the human body, and vice versa. This is because the human body is a curve. Only on a high elastic mattress can the human body and back be supported, especially the waist should have strong support, so that all parts of the human body can relax and have a full rest. Due to the shallow S-shape of the human spine, a support with appropriate hardness is required when lying down. Therefore, an elastic mattress is very important to the comfort of the human body and the quality of sleep. Choose a mattress can not simply rely on self feeling, too soft or too hard is not appropriate, but according to the difference between height and weight. Light weight people sleep in a soft bed, so that their shoulders and hips fall into the mattress slightly, and their waist is fully supported. Heavy weight people are suitable for sleeping on a hard mattress. The strength of the spring can give each part of the body proper, especially whether the neck and waist are well supported. You can refer to the height, weight and mattress soft and hard comparison table, which will be more scientific.
Mattress and sleep
In a survey conducted in 2009, 59 healthy people were asked to sleep on their mattresses for 28 consecutive nights and on new, medium hardness mattresses for another 28 nights.
Replace the mattress
If after a night's sleep, you get up in the morning with physical discomfort, backache, backache and other symptoms, you should check the mattress you sleep on when you eliminate the causes of physical fatigue and disease.
Misunderstanding of mattress maintenance
Generally speaking, the effective service life of spring mattress is generally about 10 years. In other words, the mattress after ten years of use has undergone certain changes in its elasticity due to the long-term heavy pressure on the spring, resulting in a drop in the fit between the body and the bed, so that the human spine cannot get the most effective support and is in a curved state. Therefore, even if there is no local damage, the mattress should be replaced in time.
Sleep is the foundation of health. How can we have healthy sleep? In addition to life, psychological and other reasons, having a "Hygienic and comfortable" healthy mattress is also very important.

At the point when your vehicle’s engine light turns on, you realize you have an issue to address. When it is known to be lit, the issue can go in seriousness from something minor to something rather concerning.
Be that as it may, when the engine light flashes, you realize you have a significant issue on your hand.
Flashing of light shows indicates that the engine is failing, and you have to deal with the issue as these are the symptoms of engine misfire.
Symptoms of Engine Misfire:
It depends upon how great your suppressor is, you might have the capacity to hear a discharge failure in at least one cylinder.
As the influenced cylinders start to revolve, the decibel dimension of the exhaust note on the failing barrel will drop.
The actual cause of the misfire will be the dip-and-spike in the exhaust note. Popping and wheezing through the intake occurs.
This happens particularly when the engine isn’t heated up, which indicates that you have a lean-running condition causing a huge misfire, which can further lead to a massive explosion noise.
When a misfire takes place in a cylinder, the exhaust discharges an unburned or slightly burned fuel-air, which contains a strong and pungent smell, into the environment.
That fuel-air would consider it a very heavy gas and spread the smell into the exhaust which indicates the person that an engine misfire has occurred.
That gas smell will be present there in most of the misfire cases and could be a possible indication to figure out the occurrence of an engine misfire.
The loss of power caused by a miss in at least one cylinder will be felt in the suspension of the vehicle.
Much like in the exhaust, there is power loss on the dead cylinder, and a massive power flow occurs when the following good cylinder fires.
A different type of vibration is caused in the vehicle, which varies to that of the engine rpm. The power fluctuates as the missing cylinders come up in the revolving.
This causes the interior of the engine and transmission system of the vehicle to accelerate and decelerate.
Misses in the engines are identified as symptoms of a misfire. Misses being caused via carbon fouling because of a rich-running condition will have a cloudy and dark smoky appearance.
Diesel engines can show a cloudy emulsion of dark smoke from cylinders with flawed injectors or minimal compression.
If a blue tinge of steam is detected, it indicates a very significant problem inside the engine.
Causes of Engine Misfire
The spark plugs have wires on them promoting the ignition of the vehicle. On the off chance that your wires are getting more seasoned or just not filling in as they should.
There are a number of noticeable signs: unstable fitting, engine failure, a ‘check motor’ light on the dash, radio obstruction and decreased fuel mileage. This could lead to a misfire.
Sooner or later an engine’s fuel injectors may get obstructed and dirty, particularly on the off chance that you frequently drive on shorter routes.
As stopping and starting the vehicle can speed up the procedure. It’s a smart thought to check whether this is the situation first.
However, if the fuel injector cleaners can be added to your tank quickly. This could avoid any chances of causing an engine misfire.
Worn piston rings
The primary role of Piston rings is to make a channel for oil into the engine. If the piston rings are worn out or damaged, it can cause damages like creating a spark at the wrong component of the engine.
Such a spark can cause fumes of gas to release in enormous amounts, leading to a big engine misfire. A certain amount of burnt and unburned fuel will be released, which can be injurious to health.
Damaged Cylinder Walls
A misfiring engine makes popping or sniffling sounds. In some cases, there is a distinct smell as well, which is a blend of gas, coolant, and steam.
Such a robust smell is a notice sign showing damaged cylinder walls. The vehicle should be investigated as soon as possible to avoid further damages.
Bad Spark Plug Wires
Bad spark plugs wires are another normal reason for causing engine misfires after 50,000 miles or further that, OEM carbon-center start wires tend to develop internal resistant, which make it weaker for the wires to create a spark to start the vehicle and increases chances of an engine misfire to occur.
High mileage plus wires additionally can develop cracks that release current to ground or to other surrounding wires, which creates a spark giving chances of leading to short circuit.
Assess the wires attentively and measure their resistance.
A vacuum leak in the intake port of the engine’s cylinder can apparently cause draining out of fuel. Vacuum leaks on separate cylinders usually happen around intake port gaskets or vacuum hose associations where the vacuum tube is damaged or broken.
There can be a loss in the pressure caused by deficient valve lash, breaking of the piston ring, and a leaking cylinder head gasket.
Before any serious damage begins to occur because of a minor engine misfire in an individual’s vehicle, it should be checked thoroughly that no faulty equipment are present.
Whereas making sure all the minor car parts should be replaced to new ones which do not lead to a major issue and cause a greater loss to an individual.

Harrah’s Tunica announces June 2 closure
Tunica’s only true resort property, Harrah’s, announced March 26 that it will close June 2, throwing about 1,300 employees out of work. Three-quarters of those employees are Mississippians, with “something less than 400” living in Tunica, according to Chamber of Commerce CEO Lyn Arnold.
The announcement is another blow to a county that recorded the state’s highest rate of unemployment in February, 17.3 percent.
Company officials cited increased competition in the market, where 48 states now have some form of gaming.

Milwaukee County and the State of CT , which did not receive letters in the initial review, were also found to be compliant. The police memo , dated May 17, 2001, is created to encourage immigrants to utilize city services without fear of reprisal.
Trump declared his option in a disclosure that considered Ms. Nielsen's sizeable competent wisdom in the domain of homeland security policy and procedure, cyber security, crucial infrastructure and exigency management. "I look forward to working closely with the Administration and Ranking Member McCaskill to expedite the consideration of Ms. Nielsen's nomination and help make America safer and more secure".
On Wednesday, she greeted Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his wife Sophie Grégoire Trudeau to the White House in a jaw-dropping grey pinstripe pantsuit outfit. That might have contributed to Trump thinking about her highly.
Added Frances Townsend, her boss at the White House during the Bush administration: "She is tough as nails, competent and has rightly earned the president's respect".
If confirmed, Nielsen would replace Acting DHS Secretary Elaine Duke, who was widely criticized for characterizing the federal government's response to Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico as "a good news story". Trump said Duke would remain at DHS as Nielsen's deputy.

South Buffalo sends another rebel to Albany
ALBANY — In his first week as a state legislator, Assemblyman Erik Bohen already has received more attention from the media than many lawmakers get in a year.
That’s not because of anything he’s accomplished, but rather because of the way in which the Assembly’s power structures ostracized him from the minute he won a special election last week. Bohen, a Democrat, ran as a Republican, was backed by local GOP powerhouse Carl Paladino, and requested to join the Democratic conference after his election. Both parties refused to let him join their conferences, and Bohen’s desk was physically separated from everybody else’s, becoming a lonely island of its own on the Assembly floor.
That would usually qualify as an atypical start for a new lawmaker. But for the Assembly seat that includes South Buffalo, most of Lackawanna, and two neighboring towns, it’s become par for the course.
“People respect someone who’s going to stand up for what they believe in,” state Sen. Tim Kennedy, whose district overlaps with Bohen’s, said about voters in the area. “Although much of the time they may agree with what the party does, it doesn’t necessarily mean that someone that’s elected from the Western New York area is expected to toe the party line — they’re expected to vote their conscience and vote their district.”
Bohen does not think his status as a partisan exile will hurt him going forward.
“I feel like people don’t vote on party lines in this district,” he said. “It just shows I’m independent, and that’s what I ran on … I am here to represent the people of the 142nd district — Democrats, Republicans, Conservatives, Independents — I’m representing all of them, not a party.”
History shows that the district’s voters definitely appreciate independence.
Brian Higgins was one of the last people to remain part of a failed 2000 coup against former Speaker Sheldon Silver. When Higgins left for Congress in 2004, he was replaced by Mark Schroeder, who quickly asked the speaker to sign a pledge that the budget would be passed on time. Silver refused. On Schroeder’s first day on the job, he was the only Democrat to vote against Silver’s reelection as speaker.
Silver retaliated by refusing to give Schroeder a district office, citing concerns that the office would work too closely with a local chamber of commerce the assemblyman had founded: “Mr. Schroeder, unfortunately, has a different view of the role of government,” said Silver, who spoke of the importance of separating state and personal work.
Schroeder eventually left to become Buffalo’s comptroller in 2011. He was succeeded by Mickey Kearns, a Democrat who, like Bohen, won his first term while running on the Republican line. Unlike his successor, Kearns joined the Democratic conference, but he left it and called on Silver to resign after a 2013 sexual harassment scandal in the Assembly.
Kearns was quickly ostracized: The 150-member chamber passed 3,547 bills before allowing one of his to come up for a vote. That bill was considered only after he was let back into the conference, a year after he requested readmission following Silver’s 2015 ouster.
All of this stands out in a chamber where cordial relations with leadership and the rest of one’s conference is sacred, and it’s extremely rare for members to openly criticize leadership.
“The majority of my classmates, of which there were nine of them, when they came to Albany, they had a lot to say about Albany and how it works and how they thought it was all wrong and they were going to do something about it,” said Schroeder. “And the only one who did anything about it in 2005 was me, and I stood all alone and voted against the speaker.”
But voters have never penalized any of these previous occupants for losing their influence in Albany by going to war over principle. Kearns, for example, never even faced a primary or general election foe while running on both the Democratic and Republican lines in his final three races.
So what is it that makes this corner of the state so willing to accept candidates who defy conventional party labels?
In part, it’s because of Western New York’s instinctual distrust of New York City politicians, who are widely seen as eager to impose an economic and social agenda that’s deleterious to Buffalo’s well-being.
“People want an individual to get into office and represent the district, and a lot of times what comes forward down here is downstate-driven,” said Kennedy. “So we have to be independent when we’re elected from the Western New York area, oftentimes independent from our downstate colleagues.”
"[In 2004], people would say ‘Schroeder, why do I really need you if you’re just going to go to Albany and join the club?’” said the former assemblyman. “I had nightmares about that, I thought about what people were saying. As I would go door to door throughout the district, I took that to heart.”
This support of Democrats who don’t play ball with their New York City co-partisans is also due to the demographics of the district. While every occupant for decades has come from South Buffalo, a sizable chunk of the electorate resides in the more conservative suburbs. And while there’s a 2-to-1 Democratic enrollment advantage, many of these party members are of the sort that retains a strong ethnic identity: South Buffalo is the type of place where St. Patrick’s celebrations aren’t condensed into a single day. Or week.
“Although the enrollment may be Democratic, they are very conservative Democrats,” said Kevin Hardwick, a political science professor at Canisius College and an Erie County legislator from Buffalo’s northern suburbs. “I think certainly the Catholic part has an impact … They’re not, by and large, your Obama progressive Democrats.”
The unusual election results might also be due to some canniness by the local GOP.
“In the case of Kearns, in the case of Bohen, they got elected in special elections,” said Hardwick. “And the wily Republicans led by [Erie County] Chairman Nick Langworthy were cagey enough to adopt a Democrat.”
All of this means that the usual party lines don’t fully apply there. But it’s not really a swing district in the usual sense that a Republican gets 52 percent of the vote in one election and a Democrat gets 51 percent in the next one.
South Buffalo, the heart of the district, is more of a catapult than a swing. Consider the results in the past few gubernatorial elections. In 2002, the Democratic candidate, Carl McCall, received less than 30 percent of the result there. That increased to 74 percent four years later when Eliot Spitzer ran. With native son Carl Paladino appearing on the ballot in 2010, Democrat Andrew Cuomo received 32 percent support. Four years and a billion dollars later, Cuomo’s tally rose to 65 percent.
So does Bohen have a chance of finding a conference to call home?
“Here and there, some Dems have come to my side of the aisle, my island,” he said. “They’ve been nothing but friendly. Republicans have been great — I’m getting along with everybody here. Everybody. However, I don’t have a home right now.”
He said Speaker Carl Heastie (D-Bronx) told him that “we’ll just give it some time” to figure out where his eventual home will be.
Whether or not local Democrats will attempt to oust Bohen remains undetermined as well.
“That was the question with Mickey Kearns,” Hardwick said. “He could get elected in a special election, but how will he make out in November, in an even year when Democrats come out to vote and the Democratic advantage in that district means something? … And the answer with Mickey Kearns was it didn’t make a difference. In a multi-candidate field anyone can win a primary election, so [Bohen] may be the Democratic candidate as well as the Republican candidate this fall.”
It’s certainly possible his period of ostracism will help propel Bohen’s political career in the future.
“Now that I look back at it, if it wasn’t for what I did in the New York State Assembly, I probably would not be Buffalo city comptroller right now,” Schroeder said. “What you want is independence.”
