Cameroonian politicians, Clergies, Civil Society Activists and the public at large are speaking of Cardinal Tumi, as a man of greatness, remarkable faith, haven contributed a lot to change the present face of the country.
In this write up, News Upfront gathers some of the reactions and testimonies following the demise of the first ever Cameroonian, not to say Sub Saharan African to reach that high level of distinction and responsibility within the Roman Catholic Church, “a Cardinal”.
His eminence Christian Cardinal Wiyghan Tumi, is one of those few Cameroonians who will always be remembered positively even after death for his relentless contributions in both the development of the Roman Catholic Church in Cameroon and nation building.
One of his recent strides was the resolution of the Anglophone Crisis which he actually dedicated all his last energy trading his life for a ceasefire deal to be achieved and for the crisis to be resolved.
A period during which he contributed immensely at the Major National Dialogue and initiated an Anglophone General Conference, AGC, to address common issues aimed at seeking solutions to the crisis, but which never saw the light of the day due to external obstacles.
A period again that saw him kidnaped by seperatist fighters in the North West region but he did not stop.
The commitment of Christian Cardinal Tumi did not start with the present Anglophone Crisis.
Cardinal Tumi in the early 1990s was very instrumental in the fight against the one party system in the country. A fight that culminated with the establishment of political pluralism that was abolished in 1966.
It would not be proper to ignore the efforts and personal commitments of Cardinal Tumi in the establishment of a peaceful political game and a society of justice in Cameroon.
Despite the internal and external challenges he suffered, he did not back out. Such challenges and strides are documented in his book titled: “My faith: A Cameroon to be Renewed”.
The testimonies of Tumi’s life speak more of his greatness and unmatched values.
The National President of the Cameroon Renaissance Movement, CRM party, professor Maurice Kamto, says Tumi was a true and tireless preacher of love and peace between his compatriots.
“… Cardinal W. Tumi, is surely leaving with the frustration of seeing Cameroonians killing other Cameroonians in the North West and South West regions of our country. He has tried almost everything to avoid the occurrence of the armed conflict in these two regions: advice, appeals to appease hearts, offers of good office , etc, ….. His efforts were scorned by extremists in the regime who never wanted him to meet the Head of State despite his constant request”. Kamto said in a release issued hours after the death of Tumi.
The chairman of the Social Democratic Front, SDF party, Ni John Fru Ndi, described Tumi as a true shepherd of the Lord, a committed patriot, a justice peace crusader, an open encyclopedia of rare standing and a moral colossus.
“We are struggling to accommodate the fact that Cameroon will forge on without the Statesman and Pastor with unparalleled qualities. Cameroonians have missed an opportunity to benefit from the Savvy of this Prelate who selflessly proposed a panacea to end the on-going Socio Political crisis. The only thing we can do as humans at this sad moment is to pray for his gentle soul to find peace at the bossom of the Most High God”. Fru Ndi wrote in a letter of condolence.
The President of the United Socialist Democratic Party, USDP, Prince M.N EKOSSO was not left indifferent following the passing on of Christian Cardinal Tumi.
“The man and Cardinal Tumi of the people. You stood up for justice, reconciliation and forgiveness. Your life was a life well spent. Your unexpected departure from amongst us is a loss which will take some time to be replaced. A Dieu, Christian Cardinal Tumi.” Prince M. N. EKOSSO declared.
Within the ranks of the ruling Cameroon People’s Democratic Movement, CPDM, the National President, Paul Biya, had not reacted publicly at press time, but the Deputy Secretary General of the Central Committee of the party, Gregoire OWONA, in a social media outing said Cardinal Tumi, is probably the most emblematic personality of Cameroonian Clergymen.
“I submit to the memories of this devoted servant of God for his people through the Roman Catholic Church, and for a Cameroon proud of its roots and committed for peace in his country for everyone to benefit” Gregoire OWONA added.
Christian Cardinal W. Tumi, was a man whose actions contributed to develop the Civil Society sector in the country.
Barrister Felix Nkogho Agbor Balla, a legal luminary and Civil Society Activist, was also touched with the sad news of the death of Tumi.
“Cardinal Tumi died in Douala.Tumi born on 15 October 1930 in Kikaikelaki (Kumbo) was the first and only Cameroonian cardinal. A staunch advocate for a just society, a defender of the rights of the oppressed, suppressed and marginalized. RIP the Peoples’ Cardinal.” Agbor Balla tweeted.
Diplomatic representations in Cameroon are also touched with the death of Tumi, because they saw in him a negotiator to the crisis in Anglophone Cameroon.
“The U.S. Embassy expresses our deepest condolences on the passing of Cardinal Christian Wiyghan Tumi, Archbishop Emeritus of Douala. Cardinal Tumi was the first and only Cameroonian Cardinal of the Catholic Church in Cameroon. A tireless advocate for dialogue and an end to the conflict in the Northwest and Southwest Regions, humanrights, and the fight against corruption, Cardinal Tumi, contributed to Cameroon’s democratic development. His legacy as a defender of
peace will resonate for generations. We send our sympathies to Cardinal Tumi’s family, the Catholic Church in Cameroon, and to the people of Cameroon.” Reads a statement from the U.S. Embassy in Cameroon signed on April 3rd 2021.
As the highest Raman Catholic Clergy in Cemeroon and Sub Saharan Africa, His Eminence Cardinal Tumi, leaves behind an immense work for his church.
The Archbishop on the Yaoundé Archdioceses, His Lordship Jean Mbarga is aware of the task ahead of them.
“… A symbol of joy of our local and universal church as well as our country Cameroon, Christian Cardinal Tumi dedicated his energy, his intelligence, his life and his commitment at the service of the church and nations. He leaves behind a multi-dimentional heritage.” Jean Mbarga declared.
The President of the National Episcopal Conference of Cameroon , His Lordship Abraham Kome seized the occassion to invite all the christian community in Cameroon, family and friends of the Prelate to pray for a smooth repose of his soul.
According to the Archbishop of the Douala Archdioceses, His Lordship Samuel Kleda, the funeral program would be communicated accordingly and at the due moment.
Worth noting is the fact that the National President of the CRM party, Parof. Maurice Kamto is of the opinion that the greatest official tribute that the regime could pay him, now that he is gone, is to put an end to the unnecessary civil war waged by Cameroonians in the Anglophone regions.
#TeamNewsUpfront join voices with others to pray for the soul of the Archbishop Emeritus of Douala to Rest In Peace.

Medical device manufacturers have clearly stated their opposition to the new sales tax. But practicing radiologists should also be concerned.
On January 1, the long-debated and much-opposed medical device tax went into effect. To date, medical device manufacturers have clearly stated their opposition, but industry leaders portend practicing radiologists also have reason to be concerned.
Barely a week old, this measure levies a 2.3 percent tax on all medical devices. The law calls for manufacturers to pay for the tax added to the sale price of the device, but many worry the cost will not only trickle down to providers, but will also, ultimately, stymy the progression of patient care by hindering research and development efforts.
“As radiologists, most of us chose the specialty because it’s a field that incentivizes technological innovation that can make enormous differences in patient care,” said Geraldine McGinty, MD, chair of the American College of Radiology (ACR) Economics Commission. “Payment or health care policies that would, in any way, negatively impact innovation are things that make us feel uncomfortable.”
The device tax will inevitably impact practitioners’ bottom lines, she said. The actual dollar amount is yet unknown, but manufacturers will be forced to pass some of the tax increase on to their customers. The price hike will likely be an unwelcome addition to existing imaging reimbursement cuts and the difficulties radiologists already face with collecting payments from patients. Equipment purchasing decisions could become more complicated or could be postponed, she said.
In addition to individual monetary concerns, radiologists should also worry about what the medical device tax could mean for their ability to provide the most up-to-date patient care. According to the Medical Imaging and Technological Alliance (MITA), this initiative is a job-killer because it makes outsourcing jobs overseas more attractive. But research and development efforts will also be a casualty, said MITA Executive Director Gail Rodriguez.
According to a recent MITA survey, 29 percent of manufacturers anticipate slicing into their research and development budgets as a way to cover the anticipated $287 million associated with the device tax. This change could leave providers without new technological innovations for treating patients, MITA said.
“Radiologists are responsible for caring for patients - diagnosing and staging cancer and tracking the success of therapies,” she said. “So putting taxes on companies responsible for creating better imaging technology can create a burden.”
In fact, a recent Pacific Research Institute report estimates medical device manufacturers will eventually curb research and development investments by $2 billion each year.
Despite the flurry of conversation about the medical device tax among radiology vendors and some leaders, most providers in daily practice have yet to focus on this cost increase, ACR’s McGinty said. They are more likely to still be focused on the drop in imaging utilization and how to combat that downward trend. But, she said, they’ll soon need to take a close look at their balance sheets and determine how the tax will affect their practice.
“The tax has been implemented, and it adds to an already challenging time for radiologists,” she said. “We’re an industry that provides a number of good technology jobs. Carrots, instead of sticks, for us, would be nice.”

February 19, 2013 (KHARTOUM) – The Sudanese government criticized a proposed plan by the United States to host a South Sudan donors conference saying it will embolden Juba not to implement cooperation agreement signed last year.

Speaking of good men….a while ago I got an email from someone who asked if I could make a quilt for her husband. She wanted something manly, (like the manly potholders) and asked if I could put a streaming piece into the quilt. When she told me about her husband I not only wanted to do it, but I also felt it would be a good thing to do, to make a quilt dedicated to a good man. And I guess there are different definitions of a good man, but this man was my definition of one. Kind, understanding, loving, affectionate, thoughtful, curious and nurturing. So here’s the first part of the quilt. Next it’s corduroy, tweed and flannel.

Information on the Toshiba Satellite P105-S6217 St. John's NL
Information on the Toshiba Satellite P105-S6217
Toshiba laptops are wildly popular and for a reason: They offer good quality and they're eminently affordable. The $1649 (as of April 11, 2007) Toshiba Satellite P105-S6217 isn't a high concept notebook, but it makes an excellent second PC at home or a solid small-office desktop replacement.
At 7.4 pounds, the P105-S6217 is very light for a laptop with a 17-inch screen. Its LCD display is big and easy to read. The full-size keyboard includes a dedicated keypad and a dual-mode touchpad of the type seen on past Satellites.
Though the icon-heavy touchpad looks gimmicky, it turns out to be one of the notebook's best features. One tap in the upper right corner switches the touchpad from cursor mode to button mode and activates pressure-sensitive symbols that you can use to launch six different Web sites or applications.
The P105-S6217 comes with four USB ports, a next-generation ExpressCard slot, a shared five-in-one memory slot, an S/PDIF port for digital speakers, and a DVI port for LCD monitors. A large fingerprint reader situated in the wrist rest lets you breeze through log-ins.
Storage is extremely generous: The spacious 200GB hard drive invites you to record gigabyte-gobbling TV programs. The drive's slow, 4200-rpm spin rate--along with the laptop's 1.66-GHz Core 2 Duo T5500 processor--kept the Satellite's WorldBench 6 Beta 2 score to a modest 68, three points below the average of 71 for our desktop replacements group. Its battery life of slightly less than 2 hours, however, is disappointing.
The only thing this likable laptop truly tanks at, however, is 3D gaming. The Satellite's nVidia GeForce Go 7300 graphics controller features just 128MB of RAM, and the lack of memory showed up painfully in our tests. Far Cry and Doom 3 with antialiasing enabled crawled along at between 7 and 13 frames per second. Without antialiasing, only Far Cry was playable--and barely so, at 37 fps.
It's not the fanciest multimedia laptop on the shelf, but this Windows Vista Home Premium-equipped portable does all right. It bundles an external HDTV tuner, including a desktop antenna for picking up signals when a cable connection isn't possible. The excellent Harman/Kardon stereo speakers deliver terrific output. Four square buttons above the keyboard play, stop, and move backward and forward through CDs and DVDs; and if you leave a disc in the DVD burner, pressing the Media Button will play it. Toshiba completes a very nice effort by bundling Microsoft Works 8.5.Carla Thornton


Announce new album Decent Shapes
Due 20th October on Upset the Rhythm
Following on from their 2021 debut Expressions of Interest, Melbourne/Naarm synth-punk five-piece screensaver return with their sophomore album Decent Shapes. Alongside details of the new record, they also share first single ‘The Guilt’ and accompanying visualiser by Scott Marrinan with assistance from Wild Rose Pictures.
The album’s lead single, ‘The Guilt’ is a spirited call to arms that acknowledges the universal feeling of guilt that all humans succumb to, packaged up as a post-punk dance song. The track explores the experience of trying to be everything for everyone at all times and the crushing guilt of trying to be a perfect human and failing.
Of ‘The Guilt’, vocalist and synth-player Krystal Maynard says, “Existence can be exhausting: relationships to maintain, jobs to get done, people to impress, all the while the world is falling apart around us. In the clip we’re capturing the performative nature of life, the acting and the reacting.Perfection is impossible, imperfection is human. You try your best to be everything to everyone at all times, but failure is inevitable and then the guilt arrives.”
The bass brings the intro and immediately by the tone you are hooked, the track builds with this obscure experiential synth path and the landscape grows. The vocal notes pierce through the cosmic creation and add this variation to the melodic movement, the notes command your full attention. As the track builds and shifts through this vivid array of textures and hooks, the energy of screensaver intensifies, this is such a juggernaut of a creation.
On Decent Shapes – the second album from screensaver – there is bubbling tension, a low grade but growing fever, a rising rage. The frustration is so tangible you can taste it. Detachment and dissociation become survivalist coping mechanisms.
Thematically, screensaver’s latest offering finds them exploring existence on an ever-growing trash heap where we’re desperate for the new, the nice and the shiny. A world where materialism reigns supreme and corporate niceties litter the public dialogue but behind closed doors the sentiment is warlike, total domination is the only answer to the bottom line. All of which is underpinned by the band’s sonic sense of urgency and a commitment to creating a sound that taps into the mood and spirit of post-punk whilst also allowing space for new wave elements and electronic experiments to shine through.
Decent Shapes was recorded and mixed by Julian Cue, who was also the recording engineer for Expressions of Interest. Defined by a kinetic energy, dynamic range and brooding atmosphere, the 10-track release comprises some tracks that were mainstays within the band’s live shows – featuring in their US tour set-list – alongside others which were written later in the recording process. During the creation of Decent Shapes, the band also experimented with swapping instruments, allowing for different playing styles and songwriting approaches.
screensaver was formed in 2016 as a trans-Pacific project between Krystal Maynard (Bad Vision/ex Polo) and Christopher Stephenson (Spray Paint/Exek). Their debut album Expressions of Interest received support from the likes of Brooklyn Vegan, Beats Per Minute, DIY and Post-Trash and last September the band played a 12-date tour across the US.

It’s not nice to tease, but if it’s required to bet on NFL games than I’m all for it. And teasing the odds has been profitable for me this season so I’ll continue. Yep, once again I hit a three-team teaser in Week 15 giving me two straight winning tickets and eight in the past 11 weeks. You have to win a higher percentage of teasers since buying points to move the spread or total in your favor has a price. But a major heater like this certainly makes wagering on the games fun while keeping the bank roll where it needs to be.
In my Week 14 three-team winner there was actually no need to tease the odds since my teams won against the original number. That wasn’t the case last week with one game needing the manipulated spread to produce a winner. That came in the Chicago/Philadelphia matchup where the Eagles were originally -9. I brought that number down to -3 thinking Justin Fields would pose a problem. Turns out I was right since Fields flummoxed the Eagles defense throwing a pair of TD passes and running for 95 yards. The Bears got a backdoor cover on the original line with a late Fields TD pass making the score 25-20, but it wasn’t enough to cover the teased line of Philly -3.
I didn’t need to tease the numbers in the other games, but it sure made watching the scores a lot easier to handle. I said last week the Bills are overvalued in some games and I thought they were in the Miami matchup. Not only did the Dolphins cover the teased line they also stayed within the posted +7.5-point spread while nearly winning outright. Buffalo scored the final 10 points with a last second field goal giving them a 32-29 victory. After watching the Giants and Commanders slog their way to a 20-20 tie in Week 13 I expected the same and got less. The Giants won 20-12 keeping the score below the posted total of 40 and well below the teased total.
Now let’s visit the NFL Week 16 schedule to see what odds we can tease to keep this heater going.
NFL Week 16 Betting Lines
Detroit Lions at Carolina Panthers
Opening Total: 44
Teaser Total: 38
The way the Lions are playing they could hit 38 on their own. I do expect the Panthers to help out, though, going against a defense that ranks next to last in total yards and points per game allowed. What makes this game even more interesting is that both teams are in the thick of the playoff fight. The Panthers are just a game out of first in the NFC South and the Lions clawed their way back to .500 and are just outside the top-7.
The Lions are philanthropic on defense and Carolina is only slightly better. I can see points on the board in this one and the Lions are a confident bunch winning three straight and six of their last seven games. Jared Goff has thrown for over 3,600 yards with 23 touchdowns and just seven picks while Jamal Williams has rushed for 839 yards and 14 scores. Dropping the total to play the OVER is the smart move.
Buffalo Bills at Chicago Bears
Opening Line: Bears +9
Teaser Line: Bears +15
Though they’ve been a big favorite in a number of games the Bills have played a bunch of close contests. Six of their last seven games were decided by a single score with the Bills going 2-5 ATS. They’ll likely win this matchup, but we saw Justin Fields and the Bears play an inspired game last week against Philly falling 25-20.
And the Bears have been doing the opposite of Buffalo by losing a number of close games. We saw the Fields effect last week with the QB throwing a pair of scoring passes while rushing for nearly 100 yards. It never feels like the Bears are out of a game with Fields running the show, they just haven’t done enough to earn those wins. And like I said before a two-score spread in the NFL is hard to pass on.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Arizona Cardinals
Opening Line: Cardinals +8
Teaser Line: Cardinals +14
Well, here I go again moving the spread for a game into double-figures. It’s worked well in the past simply because that’s a lot of points. And this isn’t as big a mismatch as the opening line suggests. We had movement because the Cards are turning to the backup’s backup at QB. With Kyler Murray done for the season and Colt McCoy in concussion protocol, Trace McSorley is set to get the start on Sunday night.
McSorely put together a solid career at Penn State and has the tools to get things done. He struggled last week throwing a pair of picks, but given the chance to work first-string reps in practice this week will only help in his development. And this is a good spot for him to show coaches and management what he’s capable of and I think he can do enough the keep Arizona within the hefty two-touchdown spread.

Apigenin and naringenin suppress colon carcinogenesis through the aberrant crypt stage in azoxymethane-treated rats.
Additional Document Info
Epidemiological evidence suggests that a diet abundant in fruits and vegetables may protect against colon cancer. Bioactive compounds, including flavonoids and limonoids, have been shown to possess antiproliferative and antitumorigenic effects in various cancer models. This experiment investigated the effects of four citrus flavonoids and one limonoid mixture at the promotion stage of chemically induced colon cancer in rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 10 rats/group) were randomly allocated to one of six diets formulated to contain 0.1% apigenin, 0.02% naringenin, 0.1% hesperidin, 0.01% nobiletin, 0.035% limonin glucoside/obacunone glucoside mixture or a control diet (0% flavonoid/limonoid). Rats received experimental diets for 10 weeks and were injected with azoxymethane (15 mg/kg) at weeks 3 and 4. Excised colons were evaluated for aberrant crypt foci (ACF) formation, colonocyte proliferation (proliferating cell nuclear antigen assay), apoptosis (terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling assay) and expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) (immunoblotting). When compared with the control diet, apigenin lowered the number of high multiplicity ACF (HMACF >4 aberrant crypts/focus) by 57% (P < 0.05), while naringenin lowered both the number of HMACF by 51% (P < 0.05) and the proliferative index by 32% (P < 0.05). Both apigenin and naringenin increased apoptosis of luminal surface colonocytes (78% and 97%, respectively; P < 0.05) when compared with the control diet. Hesperidin, nobiletin and the limonin glucoside/obacunone glucoside mixture did not affect these variables. The colonic mucosal protein levels of iNOS or COX-2 were not different among the six diet groups. The ability of dietary apigenin and naringenin to reduce HMACF, lower proliferation (naringenin only) and increase apoptosis may contribute toward colon cancer prevention. However, these effects were not due to mitigation of iNOS and COX-2 protein levels at the ACF stage of colon cancer.

Wealth creation is at the heart of every sound financial plan. You work hard for your money, and so your money should work hard for you. This applies even if you’re starting small – you don’t need thousands of dollars to start an investment savings plan, and neither does investing involve paying a lot in fees.
The aim is not wealth creation for its own sake. Accumulating assets by saving and investing is about securing a future for your loved ones, achieving your lifestyle goals, and fulfilling your dreams.
Getting your money working harder means understanding investing and the pros and cons of the myriad of different options. Shares? Managed funds? Property? Should you put more in your super, or more into non-super investments?
Your Fiducian financial adviser will help you answer these questions and more, and build a wealth creation strategy around the following key steps.
Defining how you feel about risk is a critical part of the investment process. Risk is the likelihood of your investment experiencing fluctuating returns over time (called ‘volatility’), including the possibility of negative returns – in other words, of losing money.
Sometimes called the risk-return trade off, investors have to weigh up their reluctance to accept risk with the fact that riskier investments tend to generate higher returns over time, albeit with some difficulties along the way.
Another key component of the risk-return equation is time. Generally speaking, the longer your investment timeframe, the more risk you might take on, since you have more time to ride out the fluctuations in your overall investment performance.
Fiducian’s range of superannuation and investment fund options cater for the needs and profile of most investors, whether they be looking for diversified, sector specific, specialist or a combination of investment solutions.
Fiducian’s investment choices are fully assessed and researched to ensure they meet our clients’ needs and risk profiles, no matter how aggressive or conservative they are.
Our focus on building solutions for our clients means that whatever your investment requirements, Fiducian is able to assist.
Many of our clients are experienced investors looking for non-traditional routes to accelerate their wealth or reach their goals sooner. Some might have felt they were treading water and have wanted to explore new investment opportunities or take on more risk.
Your financial adviser, backed by Fiducian’s in-house technical services and investment experts, can advise on the right investment strategy to meet your lifestyle and financial goals.

?It should have happened 60 years ago!? mourns Zia Mohyeddin, the new director of Pakistan?s mint-new National Academy of Performing Arts (Napa) set up last year in Karachi.india Updated: Jan 13, 2006 01:32 IST
‘It should have happened 60 years ago!’ mourns Zia Mohyeddin, the new director of Pakistan’s mint-new National Academy of Performing Arts (Napa) set up last year in Karachi. The 60-ish Mohyeddin (photo) spent most of his career treading British boards as an actor. In Delhi last week to recite from Ghalib, Faiz and the usual suspects at the invitation of the Sahitya Akademi, the UP-born mohajir drew a packed hall at the IIC and was feted at dinners by the city’s literati during his two-day visit.
Alas, thereby hangs another tale, which Mohyeddin tells thrice over. It seems a certain Mr Tripathi at our mission there asked him how long he wanted to stay in India. Instead of answering straight, Mohyeddin seems to have done ada-baazi with a languid “Bas, ek-do din.” To his dismay, Mr Tripathi took him at his word and gave him a two-day visa.
But to be fair, Mohyeddin did not know what the consulates know: just last month a theatre group from Pakistan, invited by WISCOMP to tour six north Indian cities, apparently upset their hosts and broke the rules of guest etiquette. Cheapest trick of all, say sources, some supporters tried to pitch a Hindu-Muslim angle to the fact their plays were not welcomed in certain venues because they were more about naara-baazi than relished locally. Now this theatre group is apparently blacklisted and because of them, other ‘harmless’ ones are facing visa problems.
In Track II terms, the Indian government is less than pleased about not being met halfway in its bridge-building endeavours. Just last month, two Pakistani artistes, Begum Fareeda Khanum and Ustad Amjad Fareed Sabri, were received with great fanfare in Delhi. But Shubha Mudgal, who sang for Musharraf at the Agra Summit was recently refused a visa to Pakistan, as were other Indian performers.
But artistically, what can Pakistan bring to the table to match India? The performing arts are virtually extinct there, with rustic Punjabi prejudice against ‘bhand-mirasi’ (musicians) still heavily in place, further addled by hardcore Islamic prejudice. Indeed, the very week that Napa was inaugurated, politicians from religious parties in Pakistan’s Northwest Frontier Province announced a bill to ban all public music performances. Their proposed punishments ranged from heavy fines to hard labour. No wonder Musharraf’s act of endowing Napa is talked of as ‘revolutionary’ in Pakistan.
Lost in political if not popular denial is an old soul rich in expression through every possible art form — music, dance, theatre and visual arts, folk and classical, that India proudly presents as hers. The Pakistanis, at present, offer only the limited appeal of ‘Punjabiyat’ and Indian Punjabis are already asking how much Sufiyana can even they digest.
Bored with listening to the fourth retelling of Mohyeddin’s visa debacle, some of us moved away and began to hum Samaja vara gamana. It’s a popular song in praise of Krishna in the Carnatic Raga Hindolam that both children and big vidwans love to sing. Mohyeddin abandoned his grumping to join us and we politely faded out. “Oh, please don’t stop!” he said charmingly. “Weren’t you singing Raag Malkauns? I know it well from the tapes my nephew collects.”

Kanye West is currently in the midst of one of his infamous Twitter rants. The legendary artist is doing everything he can to get out of his record deals with Universal and Sony, and is, of course, being met with some pushback. Kanye even went as far as to post his entire contract with Universal on Twitter, page-by-page, show the public what exactly was holding him back. This is all a part of effort to expose how some major labels will do what they can to take advantage of artists.
During this anger-fueled rant, Kanye has posted a video to Twitter of himself actually urinating on one of his own Grammy awards. He placed one of his 21 Grammys in the toilet, and you can see a stream of pee coming from off frame, while wearing his new (unreleased) Yeezy shoes.
You can see the video below.

The Department of Justice reportedly opted against having FBI agents oversee a search by President Joe Biden’s lawyers for classified documents at his private homes.
Biden’s legal team discussed directly with the DOJ the idea of having FBI agents present during such searches, according to the Wall Street Journal, though both parties ultimately agreed to leave the matter to the president’s own attorneys.
Current and former law enforcement officials indicated to the outlet that the decision to allow Biden’s lawyers to conduct the searches privately may afford the DOJ greater leeway to take firmer measures in the future.
News of the discussions comes as Biden’s aids have discovered multiple troves of classified materials in various locations occupied by the president, including both his Delaware home and his former office at the Penn Biden Center in Washington. Materials found in the Penn Biden Center reportedly …

Sen. Sadiq Umar, Chairman senate committee on rules and business, has urged the Federal Government to invest in medical laboratories infrastructure in country.
Umar, a pharmacist, made the call at the on going Third National Summit of the Young Medical Laboratory Scientists Forum (YMLSF) in Abuja.
He also urged the young medical laboratory scientists to improve in accurate and timely diagnosis of diseases for proper treatment of patients.
He said that medical laboratory scientists are important in providing accurate diagnosis for the right treatment.
Umar also called for accountability, excellence and professionalism among the medical laboratory scientists.
The Chairman of the Medical Laboratory Science Council of Nigeria (MLSCN) Board, Prof. M.Y. Gwarzo, commended the YMLSF on their third national summit.
He said that effective health care system needs qualified and licensed medical laboratory scientists.
Gwarzo also emphasized the need for proper coordination for the practice in the country and establishment of directorate of medical laboratory services at the Federal Ministry of Health.
He also called for the employment of qualified and licensed medical laboratory scientists in tertiary hospitals in the country.
The acting Registrar of the MLSCN, Mr Tosan Erhabor, said the summit theme is achieving effective medical laboratory diagnosis and management through health system strengthening approach.
Erhabor, represented by a acting Director of Education MLSCN, Mr Godwin Aikpitanyi-Iditua, said the summit came at the right.
He said it would address the reported cases of medical tourism to other countries that cost Nigeria huge foreign exchange.
“We could not agree more with you that a paradigm shift in the health sector is long overdue.
“The theme resonates with the mandate and avowed commitment of MLSCN to strengthen the health laboratory system for accurate, reliable, timely and cost effective diagnosis.”
Erhabor also said the MLSCN management has redoubled efforts towards reawakening the consciousness of the entire medical laboratory service and sub sector to the imperative of keying into Quality Management System (QMS).
“Imbibing the tenets of QMS will undoubtedly fast-track the strengthening of the entire laboratory system in the country for good.”
He urged members of the forum to join hands with MLSCN to change the narrative of medical laboratory diagnosis in the country within the shortest time.
Earlier the National President of YMLSF, Mr Obinna Okeke, said that the overall goal of the forum was to synergies and harmonize the effort of the MLSCN.
He encouraged active participation in all activities and professional patriotism among YMLS members nationwide, they should also collaborate with other professionals to expand the frontiers of the profession.
Okeke said focusing on the theme, “the state of our health sector has become worrisome, patients now look for alternative sources of diagnosis and management of disease, which system needs to be strengthened.”
He said that the overall pointers of a good health system is responsiveness to the expectations of the population and fairness of financial contributions.
The National President also said their expectations was to develop strategies to strengthen our health system through proper diagnosis and management of diseases.

Bentley files patent for steering wheel that tucks away
British luxury brand Bentley has filed a patent application for a steering wheel that is able to be moved out of the way on self-driving cars.
Patent images of the radical design first surfaced on US forum Cybertrucktalk, showing a hinged mechanism that allows the ‘wheel’ to swing.
The mechanism allows the controls to occupy the position of a conventional steering wheel or retract into a recess in the driver’s door.
“It is desirable to provide an alternative steering control unit for an autonomous vehicle which can be moved between operative and stowed positions,” the patent states.
On the wheel itself are two grips with triggers that allow manual operation of the vehicle.
It’s likely the new steering wheel design will find its way onto the EXP 100 GT – a concept car Bentley revealed last year, claiming it would be autonomous self-driving capable.

JORHAT, June 10 - The Upper Assam Chamber of Commerce (UACC), a leading body of traders, has urged the Jorhat district administration to intervene and set aside the Jorhat Municipal Board�s decision to collect additional garbage charge monthly from the residents and business establishments by way of outsourcing.
The UACC in a memorandum to Jorhat Deputy Commissioner Roshni A Korati recently, pointed out that the JMB had authorised certain NGOs to collect garbage from private households and also business establishments and also directed the NGOs to collect additional garbage charge ranging from Rs 50 to Rs 3,000 monthly as per rates fixed category-wise by the JMB from the residents and owners of different types of business enterprises.
The memorandum further brought to the DC�s notice that the residents and commercial establishments within JMB area, which was spread over 19 wards, pay quarterly municipal tax in which charge for garbage collection by JMB workers was included.
Terming the JMB�s decision to collect additional monthly garbage charge by JMB, as �undue and an act of exploitation,� the traders� body urged the Deputy Commissioner to take necessary action to withdraw the said decision of JMB to levy additional garbage tax from households and business establishments.
It may be mentioned here that last month the JMB authorities removed big dustbin boxes placed at different localities in view of allowing private parties to collect garbage from the citizens� doorsteps.
However, there have been complaints from certain residents and commercial establishments from several parts of the town in the social media with photographs that collection of garbage by NGOs was carried out irregularly and also not during the first half of the day, thereby leading to dumping of waste material on the streets as the garbage bins were removed.
It may be mentioned here that the JMB presently is administered by Assistant Commissioner Aditya Vikram Yadav in the capacity of Executive Officer, after the term of the previous municipal board, administered by elected ward commissioners (with BJP majority) ended on March 31, 2020. The Jorhat Deputy Commissioner had directed Yadav to assume charge as Executive Officer of the JMB.
Meanwhile, the UACC and AICC secretary Rana Goswami, who is also a former Jorhat MLA, have separately urged the Jorhat Deputy Commissioner to grant exemption to commercial vehicles from the odd-even formula in force in the district since the third phase of lockdown for plying of all types of vehicles.
It may be mentioned here that under the odd-even system, all types of vehicles, both commercial and private, including two-wheelers, are allowed to ply on three notified days per week.
Both Goswami and UACC sought exemption of commercial vehicles from the odd-even system citing that the same was causing a lot of financial difficulties for owners of such vehicles.
Goswami pointed out that a large number of youths who had purchased goods-carrying commercial vehicles by availing bank loans and regularly paying heavy EMIs were facing problems to repay their monthly instalments and also to run their families, while the traders� body stated that most business establishments had only one vehicle, and due to the odd-even system, the shop owners had to hire vehicles at exorbitant rates due to non-availability of vehicles for the above-stated reason.

Sea bass keep pushing east, tuna stay at Triples, bass hunt continues
Monday was a washout for the for-hire fleet and it doesn't look like a good weather week ahead. The best days, according to the forecast, are the middle of the week as the coast could get some strong wind gusts Thursday night into Friday.
The boats that sailed Sunday were hit with some less than ideal ocean conditions. The captain reports weren't all that bad, though. Rich Falcone of the Golden Eagle said the bluefish cooperated and they also hooked some sea bass.
The stripers, on the other hand, hunkered down, at least in the ocean. Fishermen got their first taste of the run late last week when the first wave of bass starting hitting off of Deal the area. A lot of the fish were over 40 inches and with the new regulations in place, had to be tossed back.
John Bogan at Brielle Bait and Tackle said Asbury Park was the bottom line, meaning the fish stayed north of that locale. There was little to nothing on the beaches as the fish were a good distance from the shoreline.
Fishing report: Striped bass hit off Monmouth coast, big porgy bucketed
The for-hire boats did not have much luck over the weekend with the bass off of the Monmouth County coast. Capt. Dave Riback on the Queen Mary said the fish were a "no show" on Saturday and then he took the hour drive and caught some blues.
Capt. Rob Semkewyc on the Sea Hunter out of Atlantic Highlands had a good Sunday with big fish over 40 inches. He said they were all released. He was fishing in the bay.
The beaches were pretty much empty of surf fishermen on Monday. John Bushell Jr. at Betty and Nick's Bait and Tackle in Seaside Park didn't see anyone out while doing his morning report from the beach at about 5 a.m.
Opinion: Will New Jersey support the whales? | Eidman and Chiles
Only two fish were weighed in over the weekend in the Long Beach Island Surf Fishing Classic. Both fish were kingfish that weighed a pound or less.
There are still bass hitting in the rivers. Bogan said anglers are catching them along with hickory shad around the bridges on the Manasquan River.
Aquarium: Fishing gear threatens life of young whale months after killing mom
The sea bass are moving further offshore. Bogan said there's very few that are inside of 10 miles as most of the biomass is pushing east to offshore grounds. He said the fish are still on the Shark River Reef but captains are now going to structures further east.
The reef is also holding porgies and codfish.
Offshore tuna fishing
The tuna are still in the area of the Triple Wrecks. Along with the bluefin and yellowfin tuna, the longfin tuna have shown up. Some of the party boats are also going out to the Hudson Canyon at night and landing some swordfish while out there.

“The city council’s aim is to try to recoup the cost of responding to gun incidents such as shootings and deaths.”
The city council in San Jose, California has voted to impose a new tax on gun owners in the city. Failure to comply with the new tax will result in gun confiscation.
This is an obvious attempt to exert a form of gun control through punishment.
Breck Dumas reports at FOX Business:
San Jose to tax gun owners, will confiscate firearms for noncompliance
Gun owners in San Jose, California, will soon face a yearly tax and be required to carry additional insurance after their city council voted unanimously Tuesday evening to impose the new measures.
The forthcoming fee for gun ownership in the city has not yet been determined, but officials said that anyone found to be in noncompliance will have their weapons confiscated.
The city council’s aim is to try to recoup the cost of responding to gun incidents such as shootings and deaths. According to the Pacific Council on Research and Evaluation, which studied the issue and sent a representative to testify before the panel, gun-related incidents cost the city roughly $63 million every year in the way of paying for police officers, medics and other expenses, The San Francisco Chronicle reported.
The new measures come just weeks after a disgruntled Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority employee gunned down and killed nine colleagues at a San Jose railyard.
San Jose-based FOX 2 reported that citizens weighed in on the proposal, with some praising the council for the measure and others condemning the move as unconstitutional.
“I strongly oppose more taxation on legal gun owners,” San Jose resident Sasha Sherman told the council. “Each time a gun owner buys ammunition, they pay an 11% tax, plus a background check fee.”
So the logic here is to charge law abiding gun owners for the actions of criminals? That makes absolutely no sense.
This tweet is from Sam Liccardo, the mayor of San Jose:
Gun violence in San José costs taxpayers $442 million. That’s $2.2 million in taxes *per gun violence victim*. The Second Amendment protects the rights of Americans to own guns but doesn’t require taxpayers to subsidize gun ownership. #EndGunViolence pic.twitter.com/KtSm8QhwXA
— Sam Liccardo (@sliccardo) June 29, 2021
The city also wants to force gun owners to carry liability insurance.
The Associated Press reports:
San Jose to require gun owners to carry liability insurance
San Jose officials have passed the first law in the nation that requires gun owners to carry liability insurance and pay a fee to cover taxpayers’ costs associated with gun violence.
The new law was unanimously approved by the City Council on Tuesday, a month after a disgruntled San Jose rail yard employee fatally shot nine of his co-workers and then himself at the rail yard, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
Mayor Sam Liccardo praised the measures and said gun owners who do not comply with the new rules shouldn’t have guns.
“We won’t magically end gun violence, but we stop paying for it,” Liccardo said in a statement.
This is gun control, plain and simple. The city of San Jose is saying that if they can’t just take your guns, they will make it extremely difficult for you to keep them.DONATE

On Monday the Bank of Japan (BOJ) started a year long study with its central bank digital currency (CBDC), following the advances made by China, U.S., and European countries.
This follows the BOJ’s announcement in early October 2020 where a project overview was given. The first of three phases is to be carried out now until March 2022. This phase is a proof-of-concept phase where participants will “build a systematic experimental environment and verify the basic functions of issuance, distribution, and refund, which form the core of CBDC as a payment method.”
In proof-of-concept phase 2 the study will look at “adding peripheral functions of CBDC to the experimental environment constructed in Phase 1 and verify its feasibility.” And if it is deemed necessary after proof of concept, they will consider conducting a pilot experiment in which private businesses and consumers can participate.
Shinichi Uchida, executive director of the bank, said in a statement last month that some people questioned whether people could use cash and bank accounts instead, and others wondered if potential cases for a CBDC “could be addressed by alternative solutions that did not require such extensive and large-scale efforts.”
CBDCs are similar to stablecoins, except that they are state-run. This means that transaction data are not on a public blockchain and that the central bank maintains authority over the ledgers that hold this data. The implementation of a system like this will allow participants to transact, store, and track the currency as an official unit of account since it’s registered with the central bank, thereby also increasing security against fraud and other related crimes.
Japan Doesn’t Want To Be Left Behind
The BOJ is mainly looking at digital currencies in a case it were to become mainstream or yield major benefits for them. BOJ Governor Haruhiko Kuroda has said it is important to “prepare thoroughly to respond to changes in circumstances,” and that it is not an appropriate policy response for central banks to start considering digital currencies only when the need to issue one arises.
Smaller banks like those in the Bahamas and Cambodia have already launched their CBDC, like the “Sand Dollar“. Japan’s economic rival has also made some major strides in the digital currency arena. According to a Chinese media source six state-owned banks have begun to promote digital yuan and accepting applications to open digital wallets. As well as U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Jeremy Powell stating that a potential digital dollar is a high-priority project but has remained cautious about issuing one.
While there is no change in the BOJ’s stance it currently has no plan to issue CBDC, we believe initiating experiments at this stage is a necessary stepShinichi Uchida, BOJ Executive Director
If, after a year, the bank finds that the proof-of-concept phase was fruitful, it will progress to the next phase: a pilot program. As countries start to adopt their own version of digital assets it opens more doors for individuals to interact with this technology and become familiar with how it works.

I was running with two of my friends the other day and one is a runner who used to be more into running but was describing how after moving to Dubuque she has just not had the motivation to run that she used to. The question was then proffered, ‘how do you get motivated to run?’
That is the million dollar question, and for better or for worse, I have buckets of motivation for running while others do not. So while we finished off the run I gave a few examples of what motivates me to run. As I did that I thought, I should come up with an exhaustive of a list that I can about the things that motivate me to run. The list is in no particular order because my motivation varies on a daily basis.
- I started running in middle school to be a little fit. By the time I was a preteen my parents could no longer keep up with me. I knew that I had to do something, starting in middle school, to be active or I would wind up behind a desk out of shape with health problems. So I tried some other sports, but running was the only thing I was half decent at.
- Running is so simple and natural and feels so good. This is not quite a motivation but I know that when I go running the endorphins and other stuff will make me feel better after the run. Nothing else that I do has the same feeling post-workout. Cycling or climbing are just not the same. From experience I know that more than 99% of the time I will mentally feel better after the run. Sometimes when it’s cold and rainy or wet and snowy and I am sore from a workout I end up not happy after the run, but that only happens a few times in the average year. When people say I am addicted to running, it is this feeling that I get after a run that I am addicted to. I figure it is a good thing I met running instead of cocaine.
- I have running goals that are mostly long term. I have mentioned the Olympic Trials several times, and that’s kind of the big one, but I have a few others. Having goals makes it easier to get changed and get out the door, which is often the hardest part of the run.
- I wear bright clothing. No lie, it started in high school with orange tights and a yellow cycling jersey and I realized that wearing bright colors helps make it easier to get changed into my running clothes, which if I haven’t mentioned before is often the hardest part of the run.
- I have a huge collection of shoes. That way I know that I will always have a dry pair at the start of every run. Also, paying so much money for shoes motivates me to go out and use them.
- Having friends that train like I do. Without my high school and college friends on the cross country and track teams, I would never have become the person that I am today. Part of that is that being a team, someone is always excited to be at practice, while most people might be tired on any given day. It makes it easier to run every day when I know that there are people that expect me to be there. Now, over the last two years I have been off of a team so I have been lacking that particular advantage directly. However, indirectly, my college runner friends all keep running logs and I will read up on how their training and race results are going and since many of them are having good races, it motivates me to keep working and produce good results. If I could room with a college friend or several also competing at the 2016 Olympic Marathon Trials that would be awesome!
- I run in exotic locations. While the Mines of Spain park and the Heritage Trail are hardly considered exotic by typical standards, they are a welcome change from sidewalks and streets. To me running on a single track trail in Iowa or New Hampshire or Colorado or Costa Rica all have enough things in common to keep me satisfied on trails that most people would hardly consider exotic. To be honest, I feel like Huck Finn or Tom Sawyer running around on the shores of the Mississippi river.
- I look good when I run a lot. I was never the fit kid growing up. I did a fair amount of eating and sitting around. I still do that stuff but I pump a whole bunch of exercise in there as well. It’s nice to look in the mirror and see my abs. It’s fun to see some new physical feature every few months. The veins on my quads were popping out the other night after a bicycle ride. That’s new. Plus as a single guy, it can’t hurt to look half decent. Of course assuming I get to the point where I have a significant other, she would be an even better reason to look nice.
- I follow the running news and read all about running. Reading about what the top guys are doing motivates me to keep working to get better. If one of the top Americans or really almost any of the athletes gets better or comes back after a long set back their struggle motivates me to do a little bit more in my training.
- I can be a little competitive and running is a great outlet. I would not say I am incredibly competitive, in face I would describe myself as cooperative more than competitive, but I do like to compete. I feel like running is the best competition because it doesn’t matter how expensive your bicycle is or that your parents gave you a season pass to Aspen and a new set of skis every year from the time you were four or that you have access to the fastest pool in the world. Economically, I am sure that runners at the Olympics come from the most challenged financial childhoods compared to other sports. Plus, it is a sport that requires your whole body for a length of time. There are no half times. There are no whistles. There is a start and a finish. The limits that are placed are mental. A race is a man versus man (or woman versus woman) fight to the finish to see what each one is made of. I sort of stole that from a Prefontaine quote, but whatever. Running races shows me what I am made of. My thoughts and emotions are revealed to me unlike anything else that I know. Although, I must say a long day in the mountains is very revealing as well in a slightly different and often deeper way emotionally.
- I keep a running log. When I look at the graphs and numbers they tell me what I am missing. There are things I like to see (like 100+ miles for the week) and those little things give me short term goals, as in goals on a weekly or even daily basis.
- I run because I can. It sounds simple but I had a teacher who was in a wheelchair, perhaps she never desired to run, but I figure I have this ability, I am going to use it. Furthermore, this concept propagates itself. Now I am a good enough runner that not running races regularly seems a waste. I feel obligated a little to run races so that when my friends ask about my most recent race I have something to talk about. It is basically the perfect kind of obligation. Something I want to do anyway.
- I run because I dream. Running is a sport where there is a best. There are world records and Olympic champions. In science and engineering or any of the other aspects of my life the comparison is not as strait forward. In other aspects of my life I never know entirely if I am succeeding or failing, running lets me know that I am X far away from the dream.
- Runners are generally friendly and nice. I like to meet other runners when I am running because there is a comfort with life and drive to succeed that runners have that not everyone has. I like to spend my time around people that are happy, and most runners I know are happy. After you spend enough time suffering running and also having successes most people obtain a positive outlook on the whole experience. They appreciate the experience as much or more than the destination.
So that is why I run. Perhaps it is not every reason, but after spending close to two hours thinking of things it covers most of the bases. If you have any other reasons that you run, please comment below, thank you!

Before investing, one must save. Before saving, one must be free of debt. To be free of debt, one must live within their means.
We live in the age of easy credit. Every week credit cards come in the mail offering consumers thousands of dollars for nothing in return, at least for now. Shiny new computers, televisions and cars all appear in the homes of unemployed neighbors, thanks to Visa and MasterCard.
To live beyond ones’ means is a fool’s errand, and a sure way to join the list of foreclosures in Illinois. Life seems great, when shiny new consumer goods and extravagant trips are within reach at a moment’s whim. Unfortunately, reality catches up, sooner or later. This spend-thrift lifestyle abruptly reverses into unsustainable, unaffordable and crushing debt.
Paying down debt is excruciatingly difficult. Transitioning from living paycheck to paycheck, to saving and building wealth is an easier change than paying down a debt. This is because, in order to fully pay off a debt, there can be almost no needless consumption while paying it off, because debt consists of past purchases, plus the interest. Paying the minimum balance on a credit card is enticing, but this is a monthly payment that yields nothing in return, except an increasing debt.
Either cut up credit cards as they come, or use them only for emergencies. The Super Bowl is not an emergency. The Cheesecake Factory is not an emergency. Use only cash and checks, and do not fall into the spending trap.
