The Ogun State Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, has disclosed that his administration will not relent at projecting the State as second to none through the provision of necessary social amenities in line with global standard that will enhance the well being of the people.
Governor Amosun who said the State would continue to match forward just as he approved the purchase of a 2million Dollars robotic fire fighting equipment for the state fire service unit in the Ministry of Works and Infrastructure, revealed this during the Treasury Board Meeting on 2018 budget held at the Oba’s complex, Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta, saying the main objective was to ensure the provision of major intervention for combating fire outbreak incidents in the state.
Governor said, “our administration should be looking at getting a robotic fire fighting equipment. This is the latest fire fighting equipment that is been used in the modern world. God forbid, but if there is fire outbreak in the State do we have the latest equipment to put it under control?
‘’By this time next year we should be having five to seven even more high rising buildings in the state, we just must close our eyes and purchase the best and that is why we’re looking out for equipment worth 2million Dollars,’’
Amosun directed the Commissioner for Works, Arc. Olamilekan Adegbite and the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry, Engineer Kayode Ademolake to put up a memo for the purchase of more earth moving equipments for the use of the ministry.
While announcing government’s intention at establishing an asphalt plant, Governor Amosun assured that the 2018 budget would stand out as the best since inception of his administration.

"Well, the heart calls, and the mind obeys." -Lose Again by Songwriter Karla Bonoff
In one of the playful dialogues in mathematician Rudy Rucker's book, The Fourth Dimension: A Guided Tour to Higher Dimensions, it is stated, "Mind is everywhere and you have no mind at all." This entire world, including the house of the world that we call the universe, is mind. It is also life, light, and love.
Since intelligence is non-local, there is as much in the heart as there is in the head. Indeed, Episcopalian Priest, Cynthia Bourgeault, says the essential Christian Wisdom Teachings believe the heart is an organ of spiritual perception. This tradition is way beyond the brain-centered intelligence of most churches, in which dogma filled head teachings are the rule of thumb. In this sense, dogma is "ideal-istic" and very limiting. Yet, as Goethe sang, "Give them the stone of Sophia (Wisdom) and you'll find philosophy gone. And what's left? The Stone!" (The stone in this case being the goal of the alchemists.)
Wisdom according to Goethe is more heart-based than head-based.
What are some of the elements of heart intelligence? Obviously, we would pick out traits such as compassion, deep feeling, intuition, love, a sense of connection, and a sense of unity. Perhaps you can associate heart intelligence with other values as well.
It is interesting that the heart is situated a little left of center in the chest. This may be why what we call the "left wing" in politics are the ones more open to taking care of people medically, socially, and even ecologically. They have more heart, more caring, a deeper sense of relationship. Interestingly, in the brain, the left side interacts with the right side of the body while the right side of the brain interacts primarily with the body's left. Both "sides" must balance to have the full brain function necessary to a comprehensive life.
As Dylan sings in his "Desolation Row", "I become my enemy in the instant that I preached." This is counter to heart intelligence, which unites rather than divides. Those with more heart are much more likely to embrace the world and, thus, understand its holistic rather than linear nature. Their brains are richer for the hearts that guide them. Indeed, they are more likely to embrace the opposites than raise war against them.
One actual person who is saturated with Heart Intelligence is Lynette Louise, author of The WingMaker and Miracles are Made. Lynette is a healer, and counselor of families dealing with members on the Autism spectrum, or other debilitating childhood conditions. She blends personal and family experience with professional knowledge in a beautiful way as she advocates for the use of neurofeedback. She establishes deep and playful bonds with her clients before, during, and after using the technology to influence their brain wave patterns. Her job is holistic in that her work is not just to help the autistic child, but the entire family.
Neurofeedback is a non-invasive therapy that guides the brain and body-mind to establish healthy balance. It does not introduce electric waves into the brain manipulatively, but, rather, responds with rewards to the brain's own constructive activities, thus strengthening them. Lynette uses it in conjunction with intensive bonding between the healer and the healed, play therapy, and deep regard for the role and wisdom of the parents. Again, she works from the heart and puts her trust in the inner intelligence and wisdom of those she works with.
The following short YouTube film will provide you with a great introduction to the work Lynette does:
In Lynette's book, The WingMaker, she provides us with a true story from her practice. The primary character, Reazon, has Cerebral Palsy and has spent her life in a wheelchair, surrounded by siblings that play while her mother works hard to meet Reazon's basic needs. Reazon's dream is to play and be "normal" so that her mother won't have to work so hard. Happy-Ness then arrives and teaches the art of play and biofeedback for the brain so that Reazon might get her wish.
This is an inspiring short book on leading a severely handicapped child toward self-healing. Neurofeedback entails empowering the child, or adult as the case might be. As the technique goes, no one is forcing change. Rather, the child receiving feedback is changing herself. Yes, our brains and our hearts are instruments of self-change.

Hundreds of children are falling ill with measles in Zabarmari, a small town in conflict-affected Borno state, Nigeria, the international humanitarian medical organization Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) warned today. A vaccination campaign is needed to stem the epidemic in Zabarmari and the state capital, Maiduguri.
“We are engaged in discussions with the authorities and we are preparing to support them in a catch-up vaccination campaign in Maiduguri and Zabarmari as soon as the vaccines are available, because measles is extremely contagious and particularly dangerous for young children”, said David Thérond, MSF head of mission.
The vaccination plan is still under discussion at the national and federal levels with the Ministry of Health and the World Health Organization.
MSF treats children with measles at Gwange pediatric hospital in Maiduguri. The first child was admitted on December 3 and the number of patients has increased since then in Gwange and other hospitals in Maiduguri. From January 1 to April 3, MSF admitted a total of 1,158 children with measles to Gwange Pediatric Hospital, 58 percent of whom were from Zabarmari, about 19 km from Maiduguri.
MSF has increased the number of beds from 65 to 105 at Gwange hospital and has also strengthened the capacity of patients hospitalized at another health facility run by MSF in Fori district in Maiduguri. MSF has also launched activities in partnership with the health authorities in the town of Zabarmari, which has an estimated population of over 45,000 people, including families displaced by conflict in the region.
Because the conflict in the region makes access to Zabarmari difficult, MSF has set up a local team comprising 10 community health workers and a nurse. This Zabarmari team is supervised by a mobile team based in Maiduguri to support local primary health care and refer children with severe cases of measles to Gwange Pediatric Hospital.
Borno State has experienced repeated measles outbreaks over the past decade. During the measles epidemic in 2019, eight local communities in Borno State were affected and MSF treated 4,000 children in hospitals in Gwange and Bama. Several factors are contributing to the epidemic: Routine vaccinations are not carried out in many places because, according to health authorities, more than 60 percent of health centers in the region are closed or unable to function properly due to the conflict . The fighting also forced the departure of some humanitarian organizations providing health care in remote areas.
Zabarmari’s mother of seven, Kubura Mohammed, came to the pediatric hospital with her four-year-old daughter, Kaltume Hafisu, who was diagnosed with measles.
“My daughter had been sick for six days before I took her to the hospital,” she said. “The medical team were all around my daughter throughout our first night because her condition was really critical. Her treatment started from the moment she was admitted and that includes the blood transfusion and administration of IV fluids. I should add that about two weeks ago one of my daughters was also treated for measles at this hospital. All of my seven children have had measles at different times. “

Language as the mother of bond and breach is beautifully storied in Sadiqa de Meijer’s poignant and provocative memoir, alfabet/alphabet. This is a book that dreams of transforming migration, citizenship, families, nationhood and the very utterances upon which each is built. A deeply hopeful narrative about language itself, a singular exploration of the way that words build a home. – 2021 Peer Assessment Committee
Sadiqa de Meijer is the author of the poetry collections Leaving Howe Island and The Outer Wards. Her work has won the CBC Poetry Prize and Arc’s Poem of the Year Contest, and was a finalist for the Governor General’s Literary Award and the Pat Lowther Memorial Award. She lives with her family in Kingston, Ontario.
Congrats on your Governor General’s Award, Sadiqa. The book explores your transition from speaking Dutch to English. Why was it important for you to explore this terrain?
Thank you! After my first book of poems, I started asking myself what it meant for me to write in English, and the answers turned out to go far deeper than I’d imagined. Until then, my languages existed within me in a togetherness that I took for granted; writing alfabet/alphabet was the process of bringing their overlap and borders into consciousness.
Stuttering, speech writing, the loss of indigenous language, and the power of speaking up — all aspects of oral language addressed in the books on this list.
I Talk Like a River is by Jordan Smith, illustrated by Sydney Smith. Beautiful painted images accompany this moving first person narrative of a boy who stutters. His teacher asks the class to make a speech and in order to cope he remembers what his father’s words: “See how that water moves? That’s how you speak.” To prevent himself from crying or avoiding speaking at all, he tells himself: “I also think of the calm river beyond the rapids…. Even the river stutters. Like I do.”
This book is filled with metaphors and similes, such as, “The P in pine tree grows roots inside my mouth and tangles my tongue.” And personification: “When the words around me are hard, I think of the proud river.” (Kindergarten to Grade 6)
Adventures of a Stuttering Superhero, by Kim Block, illustrated by Cheryl Cameron, is only available as an e-book. Kim Block has written 3 books in the life of Gra …

Hey! You! Want to help kids build great hooks into their stories?
The language curriculum for Grades 3–6 touches on the use of a strong opening, or "lead." Presented here is a smorgasbord of techniques, along with examples from novels and a few picture books.
In these books, the author hooks us with a memorable action.
Lost in the Backyard, by Alison Hughes, begins, “I am lying alone in the dark forest, dying.”
About the book: Flynn hates the outdoors. Always has. He barely pays attention in his Outdoor Ed class. He has no interest in doing a book report on Lost in the Barrens. He doesn’t understand why anybody would want to go hiking or camping. But when he gets lost in the wilderness behind his parents’ friends’ house, it’s surprising what he remembers—e.g., insulate your clothes with leaves, eat snow to stay hydrated, build a shelter, eat lichen—and how hopelessly inept he is at survival techniques.

In the United States, paito warna sdy like Mega Millions and Powerball routinely offer jackpots exceeding hundreds of millions of dollars. These astronomical sums, while alluring, obscure the astronomical odds against winning. The chances of hitting the jackpot are infinitesimally small, often compared to being struck by lightning multiple times.
The Psychological Appeal
What draws millions of people to participate in lotteries despite the overwhelming odds? Psychologically, it taps into the human desire for hope and the dream of a better life. The mere act of purchasing a ticket sparks fantasies of newfound wealth, enabling participants to momentarily indulge in the thrill of possibility.
For many, buying a lottery ticket is an inexpensive way to entertain the idea of a life unbound by financial constraints. It provides a brief escape from the everyday grind and offers a chance, however slim, at a transformational windfall.
The Dark Side of Lotteries
Despite the excitement and occasional success stories, lotteries have a darker side. For some, the allure becomes an addiction. The ease of access and the promise of a life-changing win can lead to compulsive gambling behaviors, affecting individuals and their families.
Moreover, studies suggest that many lottery winners experience a range of unexpected challenges after claiming their prizes. Sudden wealth can strain relationships, attract unwanted attention, and even lead to financial mismanagement or bankruptcy if not handled responsibly.
Enjoying lotteries responsibly involves understanding the risks and setting limits. For most, buying a ticket is a form of entertainment, much like going to the movies or dining out. Setting a budget for lottery spending and avoiding chasing losses is essential to prevent gambling from becoming a problem.
Lotteries embody the dichotomy of chance and reality. While they offer a glimmer of hope and entertainment, they also highlight the improbability of striking it rich. Acknowledging the allure and understanding the potential pitfalls is crucial for individuals engaging in these games of chance. Ultimately, whether one participates in a lottery or not, the allure of a life-changing windfall through a stroke of luck remains an enduring part of the human experience.


The Simpang Lima Gumul Monument is one of the buildings that has become an icon of Kediri Regency which looks like the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, France. Sutrisno, the Regent of Kediri initiated the construction in 2003 and inaugurated it in 2008. The building is located in Tugurejo Village, Ngasem District, Kediri Regency, East Java Province. More precisely at the meeting center of the five roads that lead to various areas in Kediri.
In honor of the warriors who died in the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars, France built the Arc de Triomphe. However, it is not yet clear why and to respect the Simpang Lima Gumul Kediri Monument. Some sources say that the monument was built because it was inspired by Jongko Jojoboyo. The king of the 12th century the Kediri Kingdom wanted to unite the five regions in the Kediri Regency.

As seen on www.pgatour.com – Even Adam Long wasn’t certain where he stood after hitting his approach into the Desert Classic’s final hole.
Winning wasn’t at the top of his mind when he teed off in Sunday’s final group with Phil Mickelson and Adam Hadwin. A top-10 finish, and a spot in next week’s event, would have been nice.
Long was an afterthought in a final group that included a World Golf Hall of Famer and a Canadian playing in front of countrymen who flock to the California desert in the winter.
Long was just a 31-year-old rookie making his sixth PGA TOUR start. And then he was the champion. He won in a way that most players can only dream of: by making a 15-footer for birdie on the last hole.
Long arrived at the final hole tied with Hadwin and Mickelson. After hitting his drive into the right rough, Long hit his 175-yard onto the green. That’s when he asked his caddie to confirm that he shared the lead.
“I wasn’t 100 percent sure. I didn’t care. I had nothing to lose,” Long said.
The stage was set for him after Hadwin’s bunker shot stopped inches from the hole and Mickelson barely missed a long birdie try. Mickelon’s miss helped Long see the line for his career-changing putt. His 65th stroke of the day found the bottom of the hole.
Long, who was 20 over par in his previous five PGA TOUR starts, shot 26-under 262 on the Desert Classic’s three-course rotation. He shot 63 in the first and third rounds, then fired a 65 that was Sunday’s second-lowest score on PGA West’s tricky Stadium Course. Long, who started the final round three shots behind Mickelson, chipped in twice on the back nine. He didn’t make a bogey.

“The drop is a small ocean.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
They walk by,
enveloped in concern,
oblivious to oceans of beauty
that surround them—
• undulating water in the stream caressing the rocky earth beneath
• a tiny leaf unfurling her greenness on a distant branch
• mockingbird chortling joy upon his treetop perch
• little mouse, concealed beneath hosta’s broad umbrella
• droplets of dew flashing seductive rainbows from every blade of grass
• and me.
I was the first to open,
now one among the many,
lost in a swath of golden beauty.
I offer my delight
only to go unseen.
I have been, for the most part, unable to be a part of dVerse for a while. Back toward the end of March, Mish invited us to write a poem from the point of view of nature. In a feeble effort to play catch up, this is mine, posted for OLN.
How true that we miss much of the beauty of nature, absorbed we are in our human things. We miss so much in each other too…
Funny, I did not know this was from Nature’s point of view and saw it as you. As if you were walking through a field, watching it wake and showing deep beauty in the smallest of worlds, and that you too were such an obvious phenomena. I enjoyed both versions
Not feeble. Not an attempt. This is mindful observation pure and true.
beautiful…so true…loved the bullet list…lovely!
Alas, we do so often walk on by without noticing the shyer, less flashy types of beauty. I think it’s described with gentle panache, if there is such a thing (and if not, there should be!)
I love the structure of this poem and your use of bullet points shows nature’s voice converging in order to be heard and seen. The more aware I am of all the amazing gifts nature has to offer the more I realise that there is still to discover. Your final stanza is such a gem and it is so lovely to see you on the trail again ☺💖 xxx
Certainly not weak, Victoria….
This is incredibly beautiful, Victoria 😀 especially adore; “I was the first to open,now one among the many, lost in a swath of golden beauty. I offer my delight only to go unseen.”❤
It’s wonderful to have you back at the bar, Victoria! I like the structure of this poem very much – it’s not often poets use bullet points and they make the list at the heart of the poem stand out..You are not unseen to us.
Yes, we are sometimes so wrapped up in ourselves that we fail to see the beauty all around us.
I miss seeing so much that is around me when I am on my walks, and when I’m not, even when I am trying to be more aware. Hopefully that flower attracted the bees.
How true, Victoria. Nature’s beauty all around us. We are so absorbed, a rainbow of life goes unnoticed
How is this weak, Victoria? It is sublime. The strength lies in observation.
I love these golden ubiquitous blooms. Everywhere! I love them. I have finally managef to get them started in our yard. Lovely poem.
I really enjoy the last two lines of this poem.
I try to marvel all of nature’s gifts -specially the smallest one ~
Good to have you back in the poetry trail Victoria ~
Victoria, there’s nothing feeble, about this gorgeous poem. I understand, we all have our moments, which we need solitude, to heal ourselves. In my case, it’s more pronounce, during my bouts of depression.

I guess as a former hospice nurse, I’m very sensitive to others and sense things like when my blogger friends are in a tough spot. Solitude is healing but we need each other, too.

Global warming and the phenomenon of El Niño are the breeding ground for the propagation of the mosquito that transmits the illness.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the Zika virus a public emergency of international significance, especially in Latin America and the Caribbean. Brazil announced its first case in May of 2015, and since then at least 20 countries of the region have already reported the presence of Zika in their territory: Barbados, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guadalupe, Guatemala, Guyana, French Guyana, Haiti, Honduras, Martinique, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Puerto Rico, Saint Martens, Surinam and Venezuela.
According to the WHO, the Zika virus is found in tropical zones with a high density of mosquitos. The virus is contracted by a bite from the Aedes mosquito, the same insect that transmits dengue fever, chikunguya fever and yellow fever.
‘The Aedes aegypti mosquito breeds in stagnant water’, the WHO clarified. ‘Extreme droughts, floods, torrential rains and temperature increases are among the the effects of El Niño – a warming of the central and eastern part of the equatorial Pacific Ocean. With the increase in areas with favourable conditions for breeding, it is to be expected that the number of mosquitoes will increase’.
This virus has been associated with an increase in cases of microcephaly in new-borns as well as an increase in the Guillain-Barre Syndrome, which attacks the nervous system, leading to paralysis. In the past year, Brazil reported 4,000 cases of microcephaly.
The US environmentalist, Bill McKibben, founder of the 350.org organization, commented: “Spread by mosquitoes whose range inexorably expands as the climate warms, Zika causes mild flu-like symptoms. But pregnant women bitten by the wrong mosquito are liable to give birth to babies with shrunken heads”.
Colombian health authorities recommended that women of reproductive age postpone their decision to get pregnant while the Zika epidemic is present.
The hottest year ever recorded
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) confirmed that, ‘for the first time on record, temperatures in 2015 were about 1ºC above the pre-industrial era’.
According to the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the National Administration of Aeronautics and Space (NASA), last year was the hottest in 136 years. Since climate temperatures began to be recorded in 1880, global surfaces, both land and ocean, have never reached temperatures this high.
‘During 2015, the average temperature across global land and ocean surfaces was 1.62ºF (0.90ºC) above the 20th century average. This was the highest among all 136 years in the 1880-2015 record, surpassing the previous record set last year by 0.29ºF (0.16ºC) and marking the fourth time that a global temperature record has been set this century. This is also the largest margin by which the annual global temperature record has been broken. Ten months had record high temperatures for their respective months during the year. The five highest monthly departures from average for any month on record all occurred during 2015’, stated NOAA and NASA in a report published on Jan. 20.
Petteri Taalas, Secretary General of the WMO, specified that, “an exceptionally strong El Niño and global warming caused by greenhouse gases joined forces with dramatic effect on the climate system in 2015. The power of El Niño will fade in the coming months but the impacts of human-induced climate change will be with us for many decades”.
The high temperatures due to El Niño – whose presence was confirmed this past September by the WMO – that were recorded in Central America and the northern part of South America have been accompanied by extreme weather events such as droughts, floods, heat waves, that are the breeding ground for the spreading of Zika.
“We have reached the threshold of 1ºC above pre-industrial temperatures. It is a sobering moment in the history of our planet,” said Taalas. “If the commitments made during the climate change negotiations in Paris and furthermore a higher emission reduction ambition level is reached, we still have a chance to stay within the maximum of 2ºC limit”.
Meanwhile, Senegalese researchers who helped contain the Ebola epidemic in West Africa are training Brazilians on how to tackle the Zika virus.
Amadou Alpha Sall who is director of research at the Pasteur Institute in the Senegalese capital Dakar was on the frontline of the war on Ebola in West Africa. Together with colleagues from São Paulo University’s Institute of Biomedical Sciences (USP), Sall and his team of five travelled to Recife, in the federal state of Pernambuco. It is one of the areas with the highest incidence of Zika infections, with more than 1,200 cases of microcephaly registered.
Sall and his team carry a mobile laboratory, which can diagnose the virus in a blood sample in only 15 minutes. The system developed by the Dakar team was decisive in helping contain the Ebola epidemic in West Africa. Researchers hope it will be just as effective in fighting Zika in Brazil. The compact lab was adapted to be able to recognize the Zika virus. It can easily be transported to the most remote corners of the country. It operates on solar energy, which is important in villages where there is still no electricity.Sall said that he wants to train Brazilians in detecting the virus early enough: “If you can’t identify the virus, you will have no way of telling whether the epidemic is advancing, stabilizing or ebbing”, he added.The head of the Senegalese team believes that the most efficient way to control the epidemic is to quickly identify and isolate infected patients. He said: “People think controlling a vector means killing the mosquito. But controlling a vector means controlling a person in the viremic stage, because it is the patient who infects the mosquito. Once infected, the patient himself turns into a repository for the virus”. (J.L.)

Dubai: Dubai Municipality and the C40 Network announced that ‘Studio Dar’ from the American University in Dubai (AUD) has won in a competition to develop a sustainable urban project in Al Karama area.
The contest, launched in January in cooperation with the General Secretariat of the Executive Council, is part of the ‘Reinventing Cities’ global competition for university students.
The global competition organised by C40 and 18 global cities is dedicated to transforming cities in the face of climate change by driving an active collaboration between cities, students and academia. The initiative seeks to reimagine how urban areas can be planned and designed for a more sustainable and inclusive future. More than 1,000 students from 150 universities participated in redesigning 18 areas in 18 cities.
As one of the cities within the C40 network, Dubai was invited to propose a specific area where participating teams can propose urban solutions and designs. University students from across the world were later invited to participate in developing sustainable urban designs and ideas that contribute to the development of Al Karama area. The competition to revitalise the Karama area attracted the participation of a number of teams from prestigious universities in England and Dubai.
Abdullah Mohammad Al Basti, Secretary General of the Executive Council of Dubai and Vice Chairman of the Steering Committee of the C40 Network for South and West Asia, said: “We continuously seek to strengthen Dubai’s position as a global hub for innovations and solutions, especially in the field of environmental sustainability, in alignment with the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to place sustainability at the heart of the development process.
Al Basti added that involving youth in finding solutions to present day challenges, especially climate change, will contribute to achieving a better future for next generations.
Dawoud Al Hajri, Director General of Dubai Municipality, said: “At Dubai Municipality, we are always committed to strengthening the country’s regional and global position in innovation and various other developmental fields, including sustainability, as per the directives of the leadership to prepare for the next decade.”
Al Hajri added that Dubai Municipality is keen to learn from the various experiences and knowledge of all community segments. The competition launched by C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group seeks to encourage cities to adopt sustainable urban designs, he added.
Shruti Narayan, Regional Director of the C40 Network for South and West Asia, said: “Nine months ago, C40 Network with 18 cities from around the world identified a number of areas that could be rehabilitated. So, university students were invited to participate in designing the right solutions, and it was great that more than 1,000 students from 150 universities responded to this call globally, sharing their vision and ideas to promote green and thriving neighbourhoods.”
The winning project
“The winning project in Dubai was particularly inspiring as it provides an integrated vision that prioritises the needs of residents, and contributes to accelerating the transition towards a sustainable future with significant reductions in carbon levels. We are confident in the vital role that students and academic institutions play in joining cities in the fight against climate change, and the C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group is proud to support Dubai Municipality in this pioneering initiative,” she said.
The winning team was able to present a set of creative ideas and designs for a sustainable urban project in the Karama area. ‘Studio Dar’ stood out due to their ability to propose modern designs that meet the needs and sustainable requirements of the area.
The team addressed the importance of implementing bicycle paths as well as seating areas and walkways, in addition to adding vital activities and more green spaces.

Messenger of Death (ePub)
Captain Nolan and the Charge of the light brigade
Captain Louis Nolan delivered the order that produced one of the most famous blunders in all military history - the Charge of the Light Brigade. Nolan's conduct and the Charge itself have been the subject of intense, sometimes bitter debate ever since. Yet there has been no recent biography of Nolan. He remains an ambiguous, controversial figure to this day. In this fresh and perceptive study, David Buttery attempts to set the record straight. He reassesses the man and looks at his military career, for there was much more to Louis Nolan than his fatal role in the Charge. This sympathetic account of his life throws new light on the Victorian army and its officer class, and on the conduct of the war in the Crimea. It also offers the reader an inside view of the most notorious episode of that war, the Charge at Balaklava on 25 October 1854.

1．What effects do the vitamins in Guozhen Pine Pollen has on the body?
The term of vitamin, meaning the element to preserve life, was first put forward by FUNK in 1912. Through constant researching, over 20 kinds of vitamins have been found out to be essential to the body. Vitamin can be divided into water-soluble vitamin (vitamin B family and vitamin C) and fat-soluble vitamin (vitamin A, β-carotene, vitamin D, vitamin E and vitamin K). Vitamin is an organic compound essential for maintaining the natural physiological functions of the body. They can not be synthesized in the body (or little is synthesized) and must be taken from the food. Each kind of vitamin has its own physiological function and can not be substituted. The body needs quite a small amount of them but they are absolutely indispensable. The vitamins in the pine pollen exist in a biologically natural form in the cells, with full bioactivity and good absorptivity. They work together in the body. For example, vitamin A, C and E protect one another from being oxidized, and best effect will be obtained when they supplement each other; Vitamin B, B2 and B6 must be supplemented in the proportion of 1:1:1; Vitamin E and selenium supplement each other; Vitamin C can help the absorption of iron; Vitamin D helps the absorption of calcium. The absorption of the nutrients is a complicated process and more absorption does not mean better effect.
Contents and functions of vitamins in Guozhen Pine Pollen
Fat-soluble Vitamin Vitamin Content(μg/l00g) Functions
Vitamin A 43. 2 It promotes growth, builds up health, protects the scarfskin tissues, prevents and cures xerophthalmia and helps the calcification of the bones; accelerates the rebirth of cells, and has a remarkable effect on reproduction, blood-generating and trauma-curing.

Standards of growing cannabis for personal consumption
Marijuana cultivation is far from the easiest activity to master. You must follow the regulations for growing cannabis for personal use not to find yourself in trouble. Forewarned is forearmed.
There are many different cannabis cultivation laws. Normally, you can only grow cannabis at your full-time residence, and the number of plants must not be more than six if you live alone. If you go for outdoor cultivation, you can’t locate your cannabis plants in the front and side yard setbacks in the open air. That’s when you need to build an additional structure like a garage or greenhouse, hidden from public streets, walkways, and neighboring properties.
Don’t grow cannabis plants inside your residence and never consider outdoor growing if you live in a multi-family dwelling. On top of that, if you decide to put up a greenhouse, be sure to avoid any exterior evidence of cultivation and stay away from gas products.
Check with your local cultivation regulations to make sure you aren’t violating any of them when growing your cannabis.

When the company introduced its Magic School Bus software series two years ago, it flew her across the country to a party in Washington, where she demonstrated the program while adroitly fielding questions from the press. From time to time, Miss Mosner, who works out of her home in Bellevue, Wash., meets with Microsoft executives at their headquarters in nearby Redmond to discuss products and market trends. And every day, Miss Mosner said in a recent 8 A.M. interview squeezed into her schedule before a river rafting trip, she is expected to check out an on-line site for young people that Microsoft is developing and to send in a report by E-mail.
She is well compensated for all this -- in software games and gift certificates. Once, she said excitedly, she even got ''a really cool backpack.''
You see, Miss Mosner is 12 years old.
Miss Mosner -- let's get in line with the rest of the business world and call her Leah -- is one of a small but growing army of child consultants working for some of the biggest companies.
The companies' quarry is obvious: the tremendous purchasing power of youth. Children aged 12 to 19 spent $109 billion last year, up 7 percent from 1994, according to Teenage Research Unlimited, a marketing group based in Northbrook, Ill. The teen-age population, and its buying power, is expected to increase until at least 2010, as young children of baby boomers grow up. By then, there could be as many as 34.9 million teen-agers, compared with 29.7 million now.Continue reading the main story
With so many dollars up for grabs, companies are eagerly turning to their precocious consultants for help in moving the merchandise. The consultants earn their keep by providing information about themselves, their peers and what they love and detest in everything from clothes and jewelry to software and music.
''For years, there was a lot of resistance to doing work with kids because they thought kids wouldn't be able to provide that information,'' said Tom McGee, senior researcher at Doyle Research Associates Inc. in Chicago, which specializes in the youth market. ''The kids proved them wrong.''
What the young people do is not the usual kind of child labor.
Thirteen-year-old Joshua Koplewicz of Manhattan, who has been working with Levi Strauss & Company since he was a fifth grader, tells Levi Strauss executives what he thinks about clothes already in stores or in the pipeline. He has also let researchers rummage through his closet.
''I liked that they were asking me for my opinion because I like giving my opinion,'' Josh said. ''It was cool that I was only 11 or 12 or 10 and working for a big company.''
And Andrew Cooledge, 11, tests games for Microsoft. ''I've always wanted to have a job that has something to do with computers,'' said Andrew, now heading into the sixth grade in Bellevue.
Children have long been used in focus groups, which are filled with people picked at random from certain demographic categories and are disbanded after addressing a specific marketing question.
Backers of the consulting approach say that Leah and her colleagues, who are handpicked for their creativity and articulateness, can provide more in-depth information. The long-term interaction helps companies learn how young people think and what they care about. Since the consultants are always on call, they can be brought in at all levels of the creative process, even to suggest new products.
And when they speak, companies listen. After teen-age girls told Levi Strauss that they liked the fit of men's jeans, the company introduced Guy's Fit Jeans for young women last year. At Nickelodeon, the children's cable television channel owned by Viacom Inc., themes raised by young people were used to develop special issues of the network's weekly news magazine, ''Nick News,'' on the Oklahoma City bombing and on body image.
The youngsters are sometimes paid in cash, though their employers will not say how much. (Josh said he had received $15 to $125 for an assignment.) More often, they get cookies, posters and the same kind of loot Leah received.
Not everyone is sold on young consultants. Many ideas young people generate are not viable, some market researchers and manufacturers said. And, they complained, once children start working as consultants on a regular basis, they lose the fresh perspective that made their insights valuable. To prevent burnout, Viacom's MTV will not let the children work more than a year, while Nickelodeon has a two-year cutoff.
Indeed, many child consultants are keenly aware of how tenuous their employment relationship is. Andrew feared early retirement coming out of fifth grade. (Microsoft says he has nothing to worry about.) And Josh fears his number may be up soon. (He may need to worry: Levi Strauss declined to comment.)
In any event, the consultants agree that their immediate bosses, their parents, have always told them that their day jobs -- going to school -- must come first.
Nonetheless, recruiters are scouring the country looking for new catches. They visit high schools, youth centers, hangouts and rock concerts. Some companies, like Nickelodeon and MTV, use outside agencies to put together a nationwide, demographically ''correct'' team. And some use word of mouth or give the nod to an employee's child. Leah's mom, for example, is Microsoft's education marketing manager, although the company says that is coincidental. Leah was retained, Microsoft says, after the company became aware of an electronic newsletter that she had published.
However the consultants are found, they represent the cutting edge of qualitative research, say some researchers and academics.
''Marketing is largely about empathy, and hitting the mark, which is marketing's job, is a matter of becoming the consumer,'' said Philip Kotler, a marketing professor at the Kellogg Graduate School of Management at Northwestern University. ''Since you can't become the customer, you bring in the customer.''
These days, Levi Strauss brings in about 500 young people, ages 11 to 25, who live throughout the United States and Canada, said Andre Richards, the marketing research manager. As members of Levi Strauss's three-year-old Trend Advisory Panel, the consultants go shopping with company researchers. They also write essays about their lives and take photographs of young people wearing clothes that intrigue them. A consultant may work once a month or once a year.
To find these ''leading-edge, fashion-forward consumers,'' researchers ask teen-agers to point out peers they look up to, Mr. Richards said.
Potential panelists are then asked a battery of questions, he said, to see whether they fit into an ethnically diverse group with different interests and perspectives.
Josh Koplewicz, who is going into the eighth grade at the Dalton School in Manhattan, has tackled two projects a year for Levi Strauss.
Linda Koplewicz said her son started displaying his sense of style in nursery school, at 2 1/2 years old. ''He had an idea of how he wanted to dress since he was very little,'' she said. ''Once, he wore a T-shirt longer than his sweatshirt, and we couldn't figure out why. So his father asked him, and he said, 'The big boys do that.' The big boys were 4.''
Microsoft assigns the young people it hires to specific long-term projects, said Ellen Mosner, Leah's mother. Leah is part of a team assessing the new site Microsoft is preparing.
That job takes a few hours a week, said Leah, who also tries out software before it is released. Last year, she gave a speech about the software preferences of boys versus girls, arguing that while young children have different tastes, they tend to like the same things as they become older.
Leah, who will be entering the eighth grade, said she might like to stay in the computer field, but was also considering becoming an actress, singer or lawyer. And while working for Microsoft is fun, she said, it does not come before her homework.
Andrew Cooledge is more single-minded. His mother, Cynthia, said she was glad that he had the chance to work for Microsoft and find his calling at such a young age. Her one complaint: in his devotion to computers -- he spends two to three hours a day learning to program -- Andrew often puts homework last. ''We have an ongoing discussion about that,'' she said.
Nickelodeon employs young consultants through two programs, said Bruce Friend, its vice president for research and planning. Its Zoom Room Panel, started about a year ago, involves a couple of hundred children, ages 2 to 11, who live in New York, where Nickelodeon is based. These children are called in -- some as often as every two months -- to talk about themselves and react to video segments or consumer products. The company is set to start a similar group in Los Angeles next year.
Since 1991, Nickelodeon has also tapped into an on-line panel of 8- to 14-year-olds around the country. Every Wednesday, from 7 to 8 P.M., about 25 of the 100 or so in the group ''meet'' on Compuserve to talk about topics ranging from the Presidency and movies to violence and toys. Children in both programs are paid in cash, but the company would not say how much they get.
MTV started an on-line panel three years ago. It has 100 young people, ranging from 15 to their mid-20's, said Gwen Lipsky, senior vice president for research and planning. Two or three times a month, these panelists discuss a topic like drug use or musical tastes. In return, they get free time on America Online.
Some research firms have begun turning to young consultants, too. Nine months ago, Doyle Research Associates set up a panel in response to a feeling that traditional research methods ''weren't getting the meat and juice of it,'' said Lynn Kaladjian, Doyle's marketing director. The company uses the children, ages 9 through 12, in one-day projects for clients, who have expressed a ''a ton of interest,'' she said.
Despite the risks of early retirement, at least some young consultants have a staying power that goes beyond their novelty.
Jon Grande, who is today the lead product planner for Microsoft's Netgames unit, got his start while still a senior in high school, when a Microsoft executive offered him a summer internship.
Mr. Grande, who interned at Microsoft every summer in college and went to work there full time when he graduated four years ago, says that what he was able to offer the company as a teen-ager was an ''untainted view of the possibilities'' for computers.
''Being a high school person,'' he said, ''really was an advantage.''Continue reading the main story


We have moved house and have inherited a Ring Video Doorbell Pro. Whilst this is a fantastic piece of tech, its not something we would installed ourselves because of privacy concerns. We have the plugin chime unit and was wondering if it’s possible to completely deactivate the camera and mic so that the Ring device simply works like an old fashioned doorbell and only sounds the chime unit when the button is pressed? If there is no way of switching off the camera (other than sticking tape over it!) we will probably have to have it removed. This would be real pain because a transformer has been added and the existing AC chime has been bypassed, meaning I would probably have to call in an electrician. Thanks for any help.

Another Chiefs’ star, Hill enjoys one of the highest wide receiver salaries in football. A glance at his record reveals his quality because he won a Super Bowl and is a five-time Pro Bowler. Furthermore, he is one of Patrick Mahomes’ most dangerous weapons. The Chiefs knew that they were onto a winner with this devastating combination and duly offered Hill a massive contract.
In 2019, he signed the huge three-year, $54 million deal with Kansas that will see him spend his prime in Missouri. ‘Cheetah’ is frighteningly quick and one of the best wideouts in the NFL. His guaranteed $16.2 million annual salaries are atypical for his position but stand as a testament to his quality. However, can he help the Chiefs win another Super Bowl?

STATE BAR RESPONDS TO FATAL SHOOTING IN BINGHAMTON
Association's Mass Disaster Response Committee Providing Assistance to Victims' Family Members
In the wake of last Friday's fatal shooting at the American Civic Association in Binghamton, members of the New York State Bar Association's Mass Disaster Response Committee are working with state and local authorities to provide legal assistance to the family members of those who were killed in the incident. The committee was established by the State Bar in 1997 to provide free, short-term legal assistance to victims and their families in the immediate aftermath of a disaster or other tragic event.
Bernice Leber (Arent Fox LLP), President of the New York State Bar Association, said, "Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out to all those lives have been shattered by this senseless and violent tragedy. During this kind of crisis, the lawyers of the State Bar have responded time and again, to those in need of our help, to provide guidance and comfort to those who have to face personal tragedy."
Members of the Committee have been volunteering at the family assistance center in Binghamton in order to provide important information to the families about their basic legal rights, as well as issues related to immigration, property matters, and other areas. The legal team, led by Maria Lisi-Murray and aided by Binghamton native and Immediate Past President of the Bar Association Kathryn Grant Madigan (Levene Gouldin & Thompson, LLP), will remain at the center as needed to provide on-going assistance and counsel.
This year, members of the Mass Disaster Response Committee have also provided assistance in the aftermath of other recent incidents including the plane crashes in Buffalo and New York City (Hudson River).
The 76,000-member New York State Bar Association is the largest voluntary state bar association in the nation. Founded in 1876, the Association's programs and activities have continuously served the public and improved the justice system for more than 130 years.

In life, you can prepare for unavoidable situations like death. But life is also full of unexpected events, such as accidents, sudden disabilities and illnesses. Unlike what some may think, it is also possible for you to prepare for the unexpected. With advance directives, you can maintain your voice in decision-making if you fall under any extreme medical situation.
Knowing the impacts of not having an advance directive can help you decide whether it may be time to add one or two to your or your parents’ estate plan.
Conflict among family members
Most extreme medical situations prevent the patient from expressing their choices, whether because they fell into a coma, are terminally ill or simply unable to speak. In these situations, doctors usually refer to patients’ advance directives. Without these documents, a doctor will confer with the patient’s family for medical decisions. Sometimes, family members cannot agree on one decision, creating conflict. This can also prompt blames in case something happens to the patient because of a member’s decision.
With an advance directive like a health care proxy, you can prevent conflict among your family members because you have already authorized one trusted person to make medical decisions for you.
Medical decisions against your wishes or moral beliefs
Each person has a different view of life. Some believe that everyone deserves a second chance at life, while others believe in letting life take its natural course, the end of which is death. Without an advance directive, your family and doctors have no way of knowing what you have wanted. They may choose a course of action that does not align with your wishes and moral beliefs.
Advance directives like living wills, do not resuscitate orders (DNR) and medical orders for life-sustaining treatment (MOLST) can ensure that your preferences will take priority.
Including advance directives in your estate planning helps you accomplish many things. It benefits not only you, but also your family and medical professionals responsible for your care.
