How to Best Install a Septic Tank
Sewage is a menace that if not managed properly will lead to the spread of communicable diseases as it is all around us in our homes, schools, workplaces and everywhere we reside. In such manner, the creation of a capacity and control framework that additionally serves as the essential treatment office of residential wastewater must be done rapidly to check this danger and that is the way septic tanks woke up, and they have turned out to be a standout amongst the most vital developments in the cutting edge world.
Septic tanks are varied when it comes to material used in their construction as some are made of concrete, while others from plastic and there are even those that are of fiberglass material, they also come in many shapes and sizes, so you just have to know which one will serve you best. First and foremost, the durability of the septic tank is of utmost importance as this will ensure that the container serves you for a very long time before needing to be replaced hence one should do extensive research in this area before eventually settling down on one to purchase, all which will indicate that you will end up saving time and money and also purchasing a product which will not dissapoint.
Moreover, the septic tank and general system needs to be tough enough to outstand any forces that may tend to break it, thus it won’t allow any leakage of the sewage whatsoever, so the strength of the material used is a key factor when looking to purchase the tank, this will indicate that indeed you have been able to find a durable septic tank. Regardless, septic tanks, much the same as some other manufactured structure will at one point in time require repairs and general upkeep in light of the typical wear and tear of materials that ordinarily accompany time and this is imperative in that it will guarantee the tank endures longer and keeps on serving its motivation well.
Having gone through all this, you can now start the search for reputable companies that are proven regarding delivering quality products and these are numerous online, you just have to do proper fact-finding on which ones are the best, most cost effective and will guarantee to deliver a good product for you. Since they are the experts and septic tank frameworks are fragile mechanical assembly, have them come and do the installation for you, in this way having the capacity to check that everything can wind up occurring as you may like consistently.

If your vehicle has symptoms like general sluggish performance, Rough Idle, Flat Acceleration spots, poor vehicle emissions and fuel economy, excessive cranking, engine knock and poor start up, then you know that it is time to Terra Clean your vehicle
A TerraClean service can improve your fuel economy by 4 – 16% ensuring squeaky clean motor parts that you can actually feel.
✓ An immediate drive away difference
✓ Restored peak horsepower
✓ Better cold weather starting
✓ Significantly reduced exhaust emissions
✓ Decarbonised engine combustion chamber
✓ Better fuel economy and MPG
✓Restored spray patterns in the injectors.
✓ Extended fuel pump life
✓ Quieter and smoother drive
The Diesel Terra Clean Service works on the following parts giving you a cleaner experience-
Exhaust and Emissions
Diesel engines produce more carbon particulates or soot than petrol and thereby produce more pollutants through exhaust emission like Hydrocarbons, Carbon Monoxide, and Nitrogen emissions.
A Terra Clean service removes hard baked carbon and soot from your engine, injectors, exhaust and sensors giving a cleaner and environment friendly vehicular emission by reducing the harmful pollutants.
Diesel Lambda Sensors or O2 Sensor
A Diesel Lambda Sensor is assembled inside exhaust system and signals the engine ECU to adjust the amount of fuel to be sent to the engine to ensure lowest emissions and best fuel economy. This is by measuring how well the diesel is being used inside the engine and how much diesel can be allowed in.
A clogged sensor results in improper information, thereby compromising on the efficiency of the engine and poor fuel economy.
(CAT) Catalytic convertors & DPF
A CAT or Diesel Particulate Filter converts the harmful pollutants into harmless gases and water which is emitted from the car’s exhaust system improving the quality of air around us. In case of diesel engines, these particulate matters are much more because of incomplete combustion of fuel. And a Catalytic Convertor that can effectively reduce the emission of soot and other harmful substances are sought after for the effective running of the vehicle as well as environmental safety.
Carbon and soot build up inside your catalytic convertor can markedly reduce the quality of emitted air and it is therefore imperative to keep it cleaned regularly.
DPF require more maintenance than CAT. This is because ash, a by-product of oil consumption, builds up in the filter as it cannot be converted into a gas and pass through the walls of the filter. This increases the pressure before the filter. Warnings Regular filter maintenance is thereby a necessity.
Terra Clean helps ensure soot and particulate free CAT and DPF.
Diesel Fuel Injectors
Clean and properly functioning Diesel Fuel Injectors ensure proper performance and economic mpg for your vehicle. When clean, these fuel injectors inject diesel fuel into the combustion chamber in an atomized-mist that burns cleanly and gets the best out of the fuel.
Carbon deposits on the tip of these injectors can affect the optimal spray pattern of the diesel injector. TerraClean Diesel fuel injectors help renew and restore performance.
Diesel Fuel Pump
The Diesel Fuel Pump is the heart of the diesel engine. It delivers diesel in a precise rhythmic pattern to ensure that the engine runs smooth. It also controls the amount of fuel to be sent to the engine to keep the desired power. This is done by supplying the fuel to the injectors via a high pressure rail.
This expensive component if not kept clean and soot free, will be open to damage and replacement of this part will be a costly affair. Terra Clean helps to ensure greater longevity.
A natural by-product of combustion is carbon which deposits itself as soot, varnish and particulate carbon. These carbon deposits that get collected in various parts of the combustion chamber will affect engine performance, causing it to run slow, start-up problems, overheating and higher fuel consumption.
Decarbonising or decoking your engine and its parts is vital. Terra Clean makes a previously tedious job now simple and more effective.
Our TerraClean diesel treatments will clean away most of the carbon deposits in the same way as a full engine strip! Resulting in a more efficient burn

Apr 07, 2022 News
… Says vaccination campaigns must focus on protecting the most vulnerable as cases surge in other regions
Kaieteur News – Washington D.C., 6 April (PAHO) – As cases of COVID-19 surge in Europe and East Asia due to Omicron BA.2, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) Director, Carissa F. Etienne has urged countries to remain vigilant and urgently close vaccination gaps.
While COVID cases and deaths have dropped across much of the region, countries have reported more than 620,000 new cases each week. And in parts of North America and the Caribbean, where Omicron is becoming the predominant variant, new infections are beginning to rise.
With Omicron BA.2 already detected in 8.7% of sequences reported from South America, “time and time again, we’ve seen how the infection dynamics in Europe are mirrored here just a few weeks later,” the Director said in a media briefing on Wednesday.
“We cannot ignore the risk of further COVID-19 surges,” she added. But we now “know what it takes to protect our people.” However, with 240 million people in the Americas yet to receive a single shot of COVID-19 vaccine, vaccination gaps “will keep our region at risk during future waves.”
While more than 685 million people in the region have completed their COVID vaccination schedules, and 50 countries and territories have already begun to deliver booster doses, we must now “redouble our efforts to ensure that our vulnerable populations receive the doses they need,” as soon as possible, Dr. Etienne said. The PAHO Director also urged countries to keep testing capacity in place “so we do not go into this next wave blind,” and have the full picture of Omicron BA.2 in the region.
“This means making tests easily accessible for everyone everywhere, to prevent new outbreaks and to prepare our health systems if cases surge,” she added. Dr. Etienne also warned that some countries and territories have scaled back public health measures prematurely, highlighting that data “is our eyes and ears into this pandemic.”
“Just as we did before, we must adjust our strategies when cases rise, to save lives.” With countries due to mark World Health Day on the 7th April under the theme “Our Planet, Our Health”, the PAHO Director also highlighted the urgent need for countries to work together towards a healthier, more sustainable future. With an increase in temperatures, air pollution and extreme weather events, “it is undeniable that climate change has presented significant threats to our region’s health,” the Director said. Health systems are also under threat as many hospitals were build in places vulnerable to floods, hurricanes, landslides and other extreme events. “We are working to address this throughout the Region, but we all need to move faster,” added Dr. Etienne. “Health system resilience is not just a necessity to overcome COVID, it is an investment for our future.”

Jermaine Henderson, Kansas State director of student-athlete development for the past two seasons, has been promoted to assistant men's basketball coach, K-State head coach Bruce Weber announced Friday.
Weber also named graduate assistant Shane Southwell to fill Henderson's old position.
Henderson, who has 20 years of experience as a Division I assistant coach at Miami of Ohio (1997-2012), Missouri State (2012-15) and Cleveland State (2015-17), replaces Chester Frazier to round out Weber's staff. Frazier left last month for a similar position at Virginia Tech.
Southwell, who played for K-State from 2010-14, just finished his second year as a graduate assistant.
“We are excited to promote Jermaine and Shane into these new roles,” Weber said in a statement. “They have both played a huge part in all the success we have had the past two seasons with back-to-back 25-win seasons and a Big 12 regular-season title in 2018-19.
"Continuity is always important. Especially when you have success and to get two individuals who know our system and the type of player that will help us be successful at K-State.”
Henderson's most recent on-court coaching job was under Gary Waters at Cleveland State from 2015-17.
“It’s been a blessing coming to K-State and it’s hard to put into words what this opportunity means to me,” Henderson said. “I’m thankful for the chance that coach Weber gave me a couple of years ago to join this program and now the vote of confidence to be promoted to assistant coach."
Southwell, who went to four straight NCAA Tournaments as a K-State player, takes over the student-athlete development role, where his responsibilities will include basketball-related matter and handling special projects for the coaching staff, as well as assisting with community service projects and the Life Skills program. He also will be involved in student-athlete academic development, including career planning and goal setting.
K-State, UNLV sign
Kansas State men's basketball has signed a two-game, home-and-home scheduling agreement with UNLV, the two schools announced Friday.
The series will open in Las Vegas at the Thomas and Mack Center on Saturday, Nov. 9, with the return match on Dec. 5, 2020 in Manhattan.
It will mark the first time the schools have met since a 63-59 victory by UNLV at the Sprint Center in Kansas City on December 21, 2010.
“We’re excited about this home-and-home opportunity with a team the caliber of UNLV,” K-State coach Bruce Weber said.

At this point it will be a near miracle if any high school prospect steps foot on a college campus for a recruiting visit this year. On Thursday, the NCAA extended their never-ending “dead period” through August 31. It doesn’t look like it will ever be lifted at this point, and each extension it makes recruiting that much harder for both the college programs and the kids especially.
While necessary, it’s unfortunate to say the least, as visits could have easily helped Ohio State’s current 2021 football class. With undecided guys waiting for their chances to get back on campuses and make a final decision, the Buckeyes have to be patient and continue doing what they have been during this entire COVID-19 pandemic — which has been recruit at the highest level.
A flip for a flip?
In case you’re just now hearing about this, the Buckeyes 2021 class lost a commitment yesterday when three-star Cincinnati native Devonta Smith announced he was re-opening his recruitment. In recruiting, things can change almost instantly, and that’s kind of the way it worked with Smith. It was a loss that ironically raised the Buckeyes overall average player ranking from 95.30 to 95.71. Not to say Smith wasn’t a great player, but it may not be a “huge” loss after all, and it seemed like a pretty amicable divorce between the two sides.
Not to re-hash on all of the details, but in what seemed like an overnight predicament, the Buckeyes were out and Alabama was in with a flurry of Crystal Ball forecasts in favor of the Crimson Tide. Smith has yet to commit to Alabama or anyone for that matter, but all signs still point towards him heading to Tuscaloosa with his pledge when that occurs.
Ohio State’s current 2021 DB class is pretty crowded, and while Smith himself took to Twitter to deny the notion, it still makes you think that maybe he just didn’t see as much opportunity in Columbus as there is elsewhere. Another possibility that seems to be floating around is the Buckeyes potentially wanting to see what other options are out there. With an already pretty large amount of defensive backs in the class, they may have needed to make room if they think they can add another big prospect to the unit.
Again, it’s important to note that there’s several possible scenarios for why this de-commitment occurred from an in-state kid, but with his offer to Ohio State coming in March and his commitment to the Buckeyes coming just four days later, it shows he never really got to see other schools he may have interest in. Whether or not the Buckeyes also wanted to weigh their options, it appears both sides felt it was best to part ways.
What comes next for Ohio State? Two names jump to the forefront when considering this subject and who the Buckeyes may turn too. They are still very heavily in the mix for Pennsylvania safety prospect Derrick Davis Jr., and what a feat that would be to once again go into a rival’s state and poach a top player away from Penn State. Davis is the No. 4 player in the state and the No. 2 safety in the country according to the 247Sports Composite rankings. As it stands now, the Crystal Ball is trending toward the in-state Nittany Lions, but as stated already, the Buckeyes have more than a puncher’s chance with this one.
The other name to really pay close attention to is Jordan Hancock. For some time it seemed as if Hancock was a Buckeye lean, but his March commitment to Clemson certainly ruined that idea. However, he has remained in the minds of the Ohio State staff, and with essentially a “spot” open for an additional DB, Hancock is becoming more and more of a potential “flip” candidate much like Smith is for Alabama.
In fact, Ohio State’s 2021 commits certainly like the idea of flipping the nation’s No. 6 cornerback from Clemson, and didn’t hide their enthusiasm when Hancock himself tweeted the ever-so-popular “eye” emoji, which in most minds clearly was about Smith’s de-commitment.
— jordan hancock (@jordanhancock_7) June 25, 2020
As you can see below, Buckeye commits would rave over Hancock rescinding his Clemson pledge and flipping to Ohio State. The staff too will certainly be putting in some overtime to make that a reality. If OSU were to end up getting Hancock to join the fold, the loss of Smith wouldn’t sting much at all. The 6-foot-1 Georgia native has long been considered one of the nation’s best corner backs in the class. It’s not going to be easy to pull it off, but as you can tell anything and everything is possible in the recruiting world.
I knew we was thinking the same thing!!— TreVeyon Henderson (@TreVeyonH4) June 25, 2020
Buckeyes offer Michigan native hooper
Though the Buckeye football program takes majority of the headlines when it comes to recruiting, Chris Holtmann and Ohio State basketball’s current class should not be ignored. Of course basketball rosters make for much smaller classes, but with only two players in the current 2021 Buckeye class, it gives Holtmann a top-10 national class with room to further improve their ranking.
With guys such as Meechie Johnson and Kalen Etzler already in the fold, the basketball staff is still searching for and offering the potential remaining prospects to fill out the rest of the group in this cycle.
Late Wednesday evening, the Buckeyes staff did just that when they sent out their latest scholarship offer to Grand Rapids, Michigan native, Kobe Bufkin. Taking to his Twitter account to share the new offer, Bufkin is a prospect that has really seen his recruitment expand over the last few weeks with multiple offers from SEC programs.
A 6-foot-4, 175-pound shooting guard, Bufkin currently grades out as the second-best player in Michigan and is also considered to be the No. 21 shooting guard and the No. 92 overall player in the class according to the 247Sports Composite. With nearly 10 offers now from the likes of Michigan, Michigan State, Northwestern, and now Ohio State, among others, Bufkin proves he’s more than worthy of his four-star status.
A highlight reel in action for both his Grand Rapids Christian prep team and his AAU squad, Bufkin is known as a player whose one of the better perimeter shooters in the circuit, and still has plenty of upside to grow into. It will be hard to sway Bufkin from the in-state programs, but if Holtmann and his staff can make the guard a priority moving forward, they can really become more than just a player in his recruitment. Bufkin still has another high school season of basketball to further grow his game. Look for the Buckeyes to use that same time to improve their relationship with him.


The Los Angeles City Council's Planning and Land Use Committee Tuesday signed off on an effort to expand the city's fire-resistant building codes, particularly for new structures in high wildfire-risk areas.
"California wildfires are deadly and can spread incredibly quickly when winds carry embers miles away,'' said City Councilman Bob Blumenfield, who introduced the measure. "Year-round fire season is now our reality and we must do everything in our power to save the lives of Angelenos if disaster strikes close to home, including building safer and smarter to resist the flames.''
Dense population centers like downtown and Hollywood have stronger building codes to withstand fires through the use of treated wood or other building materials, Blumenfield said.
The proposal specifically instructs the Los Angeles Fire Department and the Department of Building and Safety to prepare an ordinance that would expand Fire District 1 downtown to include all areas within the city covered by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection's Very High Fire Severity Zone and the city's High Wind Velocity Zone, as well as areas with a population density of at least 5,000 residents per square mile.
It also instructs the departments to create a fire-resistance plan for all new and significantly altered projects that are more than 150,000 square feet and/or 100,000 square feet if the building is over 30 feet tall.
"We can't wait until the next fire to start safer construction practices,'' Blumenfield said, adding that one of his staff members had to evacuate during the Getty Fire early last month. "It's unfair to her and all Angelenos if we as a city do not implement stronger building codes to help protect homes and property. Lives depend on it.''
A date for when the City Council will hear the proposal has not yet been scheduled.

Investors in virtual companies listed on the Second Life Capital Exchange lost most of their money, according to a new research report.
The report, which covered the time period between May 2007 and December 2009, showed that investors bought US$145,000 worth of shares in initial public offerings of virtual companies. The value of these shares fluctuated wildly. At one point, the value of these shares was over US$1 million.
But then two major decisions by Linden Lab — the shutdown of gambling on the Second Life grid and restrictions on the operations of virtual banks — combined with a wave of management scandals and falling land prices to causeÂ the bottom to fall out of the virtual stock markets. By the end of 2009, investors had lost 71 percent of their initial investment and 19 out of 24 companies followed had been delisted, leaving only five active stocks still traded on the exchange.
The puzzle, however, isn’t why stock prices fell, but why investors put real money into make-believe companies on a make-believe stock exchange in the first place.
“One big unanswered question is … why investors gave issuers money in exchange for securities that provided very unclear benefits, without the benefit of any form of regulatory protection or transparency,” management professor Robert Bloomfield told Hypergrid Business. Bloomfield, one of the authors of the report, is the director of Cornell University’s Business Simulation Laboratory.
In its disclosure statement, SLCapEx states, “The SL Capital Exchange is a fictional stock market simulation operating for entertainment and educational purposes only.”
It’s that entertainment value that could explain why people are willing to risk their money on companies that have no oversight, Bloomfield said. After all, Second Life residents often find entertainment in working for free, he said. They organize events, manufacture goods, and work in sales and marketing.
For the most part, these activities — which are a lot like work — are not paid, or offer very little in terms of financial remuneration.
“Why not also invest in assets with little hope of a high return?” Bloomfield asked.
Where the money went
The Second Life environment is one where a great deal of real money trades hands — but there are few ways to track it.
In the virtual stock exchanges in particular, anonymous investors bought and sold stock in companies run by anonymous managers that, in turn, sold goods and services to anonymous customers.
“There wasnâ€™t any oversight at all,” said Bloomfield. “My suspicion is that there is enough money involved for the big players to try to corrupt the process, but not enough money involved to support the hard work of developing a transparent and reliable system of reporting and self-regulation.”
For example, owners of virtual businesses in Second Life keep their Linden dollar income in their personal avatar accounts.
Many virtual companies promised to use the money they raised on Second Life virtual exchanges to rent large areas of virtual land on Second Life, then landscape it, sub-divide it, and rent it out at a profit to tenants. But there was no way for investors to really know if the land was acquired, what the rental income was — or to sue company executives for mismanagement or fraud.
“Second Life provides no method of incorporation,” said Bloomfield.Â “Moreover, the anonymous culture of Second Life makes legal recourse difficult.”
There was an attempt to address this issue by creating the Second Life Exchange Commission, a self-regulating organization intended to monitor companies listed on the virtual exchanges.
“But it never got anywhere and was always a source of controversy and a target of corruption accusations,” said Bloomfield.
Traditional — regulated — stock exchanges require that companies be incorporated, have boards of directors, and file audited quarterly reports. But the virtual companies on SLCapEx and other exchanges in Second Life are not required to have any legal corporate identity, are not required to have identifiable people as board of directors, and do not file any financial statements.
“Without good financial reporting, there is no way to tell whether the issuers took the investorsâ€™ money and lost it the old fashioned way — through bad strategy, bad execution or bad luck — or simply pocketed the money and claimed that things simply didnâ€™t work out,” said Bloomfield.
The next frontier
One virtual company owner was Frank Corsi, who had three companies listed on the World Stock Exchange in Second Life, then moved the three companies to the International Stock Exchange, then to the Virtual Stock Exchange. Corsi never had a company listed on the SLCapEx, but his listed companies on the other exchanges were a focus of significant amounts of controversy.
It is this kind of controversy that he hopes to avoid with his latest venture — a virtual stock exchange that operates on the hypergrid, in the OpenSim universe.
Corsi said that his previous companies were involved in Second Life’s virtual real estate business and virtual banking.
Corsi said that he didn’t take any money out of the companies, but left all assets in the hands of his second-in-command after he left Second Life.
“I never cashed out,” he told Hypergrid Business.
Instead, the business fell apart after he left. “It became a big fiasco,” he said.
One factor was the drop in land prices — from between 15 and 18 Linden dollars a square meter to around 1 Linden dollar a square meter today.
“It makes it hard to operate in the land market there,” he said.
Today, Corsi is a president of the legally incorporated company Virtual World City, Inc., which plans to build virtual representation of actual cities, using the open source virtual world platform OpenSim.
He is also the founder of the Virtual World Business Exchange, a virtual exchange for OpenSim companies that, Corsi hopes, will avoid some of the problems seen on the exchanges in Second Life when it launches in January.
All trades on the new exchange will be denominated in G$, a fictional currency from Corsi’s CyberCoinBank. The virtual money can then be used to rent virtual land from one of Corsi’s OpenSim hosting companies.
“If something goes wrong with the stock, we’ll put the land on hold, so they can’t run away with it,” he said.
The money raised on the virtual exchange can also be used to hire designers and builders, he added. Company CEOs won’t be able to pull money out of their companies and cash out without getting approval from their investors, he said — however, the investors will be allowed to remain anonymous, as will the designers and builders.
The company CEOs will have to disclose their identities to the exchange to provide an additional measure of security.
“What we’re trying to do is squash as many loopholes as we can,” said Corsi.
But, at the end of the day, the Virtual World Business Exchange can only do so much in terms of enforcement. “Because it’s a game,” he said. “It’s not real. This will be a game stock exchange. No registration, no taxes, nothing.”

On July 1, the University of Kentucky College of Agriculture became the College of Agriculture, Food and Environment. The new name better communicates the broad depth and evolving scope of the college’s degrees and programs.
The change incorporates the college’s expanded role that occurred nearly a decade ago with the merger of the College of Human Environmental Sciences into the College of Agriculture and also responds to new needs and opportunities. Research, teaching, and outreach programs within the college encompass farms, forests, food, fiber, families, and communities.
“While we continue our fundamental ties to production agriculture, we have expanded to include all the pervasive and essential enterprises based on renewable natural resources,” said Scott Smith, dean of the College of Agriculture, Food and Environment. “We are aligned with the wider and more diverse interests of those we serve, including a new and rapidly growing population of undergraduate students. And across Kentucky, many now see agriculture to include not only farming, but also agribusinesses and the full reach of food systems from local to global.”
Agriculture, food, and environmental systems are key components of Kentucky’s economic future, and the college is playing a prominent role in those areas with its programs, Smith said.
Home to 14 academic units offering 27 academic programs, the college has more than 2,500 students, and 476 students received bachelor degrees in the 2012-13 academic year.
Since 1865, the college has been committed to improving Kentuckians’ quality of life. It has carried out its

Sh4 billion Lake Basin Mall opens its doors
By Harold Odhiambo | March 15th 2018
KISUMU, KENYA: After years of controversy, the Sh4 billion Lake Basin Mall opens its doors as residents expressed optimism that the move is set to improve the economy of Kisumu.
The move comes at a time when local leaders and activists have been piling pressure on the management of Lake Basin Development Authority to fast track the process.
Early this week, hundreds of youths pitched tent at the mall protesting the delays in opening the mall which is now set to give residents of Western Kenya a new shopping experience.
Dr Evans Atera, the acting managing director of LBDA told The Standard that everything had now been finalised with the authority leasing out more than 30 percent of the mall to clients.
The management has organised for a two-day open day also to showcase the mall to the public where tenants will also have a chance to interact with customers between Friday and Saturday.
Atera noted that the opening is set to boost to the economy of the region, a notion that has also been supported by reports by the auditor general Edward Ouko who indicated in a report the mall will raise about Sh230 million each year and projected to register a five per cent increase each year.
Arguably the biggest in western Kenya, the mall is set to transform the economy of Kisumu which is recovering after a stormy political season and revamp the shopping experience in Western Kenya.
Already, the construction of the mall which is located at the Mamboleo junction along the Kisumu-Kakamega road has attracted massive developments in the area with investments in real estate and supplies coming up.
Measuring about 60,000 square feet, the five-floor mega investment has about 140 shops, a three-star hotel, showrooms, and a parking area that can accommodate 335 cars.
“We are glad that we are going to open the mall this week and we have already leased out a significant percentage of the mall to tenants,” said Atera.
Dr Atera noted that several tenants had expressed an interest in the mall, whose construction has already seen a lot of development in nearby Mamboleo and its environs.
The Communications Authority, Bata Shoe Company, and Best Western are among the tenants who have already booked space at the mall with a UK company also planning to set up a Casino at the mall.
With the expansion of the Kisumu-Kakamega into a dual carriage highway already underway, the mall is easily accessible to residents.
The mall which is set to be the fifth mall in Kisumu and the largest in Western Kenya has been a bone of contention among politicians and other government organs.
At the centre of it was the loan used to construct it that threatened its auction which saw local leaders and residents up in arms demanding that it be paid before Treasury stepped in.
Now however, hopes are high as residents lauded the project which is set to transform the economy of Kisumu which is on a recovery path after a stormy political season.
Dr Atera said that the mall was ready for occupation last year but the authority was still doing consultations as they also sought for tenants who have now taken over 30 percent of the building.
He noted that the authority is in talks with two clients who will be the anchor tenant as they seek to make a mark in the economy of the region.
"We are projecting to raise over Sh230 million a year once it picks up and we are optimistic because its location also favors business," said Atera

Nicole Curtis keeps turning up in unexpected places on her self-proclaimed summer adventures, Dora The Explorer, from Paris to New York and now to the small lakeside village where she filmed Rehab Addict Lake House Rescue, a series that Fans have been wondering since HGTV pulled it hours before its scheduled July 13 premiere.
When the home restoration expert learned a public hearing was scheduled to discuss a proposed housing development on the shores of Lake Orion, the small town where she grew up and owns several homes, she said she has one Canceled trip to New York City to abort to fly to Detroit – about 45 minutes north – to face the commission. Curtis is no stranger to controversy and says this will be her “loudest fight yet.”
Curtis worried many fans on July 13 when she posted a mirror selfie of an airport restroom to her Instagram feed and declared, “I’m done,” as she announced her new show chronicling her restoration of a century-old vacation home in Lake Orion, would not air as planned. Posting photos of herself in a hospital on her Instagram Stories, she wrote, “I’m a ‘make the best of it’ person but I reached my limit when… the stress of ‘doing everything’ broke my body .”
Three days later, the HGTV star announced that she was in Paris and said she fancied waking up to the view of the Eiffel Tower, so she booked a flight. Over several days, she posted multiple updates to her Instagram Stories, with photos and videos of solo bike rides, meals, and sights.
She didn’t address the HGTV show or her health until July 21, when she revealed in new Instagram Stories that she hadn’t finished the “Rehab Addict Lake House Rescue” show in time for its scheduled premiere on HGTV when she left country. She explained, “Due to physical (not mental) health issues, I wasn’t able to spend my usual 16 to 22 hours building in front of and off camera on a construction site… When that happened, we were almost done with the Lake House. The programs are in the final version on my laptop. When I’m up, you’ll see my house as a star @hgtv.”
On July 23, Curtis said she was ready to leave Paris, felt better, and had “found the light at the end of the tunnel.” A few days later, Curtis showed up in New York City and posted new photos to her Instagram Stories about another impromptu trip. But that trip was cut short when she got wind of the public hearing that was to be held at the Village of Lake Orion.
“I saw an announcement for a hearing in #lakeorion,” she wrote, with a mirror selfie posted to her Instagram stories. “Decided to end my Dora the Explorer journey early.”
Curtis wasn’t the only one concerned about development plans for her hometown, which has fewer than 3,000 residents. The council chamber was packed with residents on August 1, most of whom had turned up to protest the proposed four-story apartments. Planning Commission Chairman Jim Zsenyuk thanked the crowd for coming to their regular meeting, but said notifications that it was a formal public hearing were inadvertently released.
Residents were still allowed to voice their concerns about the economic and environmental impact of adding residential buildings along the marina, but the developers did not present their designs. Curtis stood on the podium twice, first reading a statement from Steve Cimini of Lake Orion, who is her ex-husband. The couple had a bitter custody battle over their son Ethan, who is now 24 but is reportedly now on amicable terms.
Curtis then spent several minutes echoing the concerns of previous speakers, calling the proposed buildings “absolutely ridiculous.” Many participants before her had expressed concern that adding more apartments along the marina would result in increased boat traffic on the already crowded lake. Curtis told the commission that rejecting the proposal “would protect the village from temporary residents.”
“You need sustainability in this village,” the 46-year-old told the commission. “You know, I’ve aged, my family members who built this town have aged and died. We need life owners. We need lifeguards in this town. You don’t get that with high-end rentals.”
At times, the longtime TV personality struggled to make clear points, jumping from topic to topic erratically. For example, she told council members, “Many of you here have been there forever. I’ve only been here 28 years if you really want to ask me the truth, but it’s closer to 46 now.”
Curtis also accused the commission of breaking the law by nullifying the previously announced public hearing. She said: “I would also like to argue that if you have a large gathering of people here opposed to it, it is totally illegal to announce something on an agenda and have it on your paperwork and then mysteriously disappear . I would call that a good card shuffling game.”
When Curtis took the podium a second time, she was asked more than once to show more respect to the council members. She read the commission’s notice of the public hearing directly from The Lake Orion Review and reiterated that it was wrong not to hold the public hearing as announced and told council members that they had better work to give villagers access to procure the proposed development plans.
“It’s on you as elected officials to make sure the city does its job to get this out properly,” she told them, adding that the formal hearing should be at a larger facility, “with air, that would be.” Great .”
Council-elect Michael Lamb spoke up at the time, asking Curtis to have more respect for the council’s efforts. Lamb said he has spent thousands of hours of his own time working for the council without any compensation, adding that the village staff is very small and is undergoing a role reversal due to the village head’s illness.
“These gentlemen … are all volunteers who spend many hours of their free time doing this for free,” he told Curtis. “So please be respectful to these gentlemen when you say what our responsibilities are.”
Curtis replied, “I don’t mean disrespect,” but reiterated her point, saying she volunteers for many things but doesn’t let a lack of compensation stop her from doing her job.
After the commission’s meeting, Curtis posted videos to her Instagram Stories in which she confronted a member of the development firm who hopes to build the new homes. She asked the man, who carried plaques with artistic renderings of the proposed site, “Were you prepared for a hearing tonight?”
“Yes, we were,” he replied. “If you show up for a meeting, always be prepared.” Captioning the video, Curtis wrote, “The village said at the last minute there was no public meeting. WTF is the developer here with all his props?”
On her Aug. 3 Instagram feed, Curtis posted a photo of herself on the podium. She wrote: “This is going to be my loudest fight yet as it should be. I have fought everywhere to preserve it and it seems appropriate to bring this experience home. Ironically, I’ve just finished editing the shows that highlight my love for this historic village.”
Then, on Aug. 4, the self-proclaimed conservationist posted some written thoughts to her Instagram Stories. “On the agenda today – wake up. I’m gathering all information for this fight in #lakeorion. So hold on tight – because I need your help.”
She also uploaded a photo of her lake house – said to be featured on her new show – and wrote: “I’ve been restoring a 1907 cottage here since 2014. I own four other homes here in #lakeorion – this fight is personal.” In smaller letters, she typed “@hgtv This September,” which could mean the Lake House Rescue series has been pushed back to premiere this fall.
Curtis then shared several videos to show why “this fight is my most personal yet,” including footage of a busy intersection where Curtis says she and her ex-husband first met, and images of historical ones Homes that the developers “torn down” would prevail. A formal public hearing on the matter is now scheduled for September 6th.


It’s funny how you discover new music, a recommendation from a friend, a snippet on the radio, a video posted on social media, the list is never ending. I tend to find that the best endorsements come from people who appreciate the same music as I do.
So, first, a little background story, stay with me, it won’t take long….
Fine upstanding citizen, music reviewer and a friend of mine, Phil Lively, introduced me to the music of Josh Goldberg, Chapman Stick specialist and a superb musician. I reviewed Josh’s solo work and came to be friends with him over social media.
Through this concord, I recently received, and reviewed, the debut piece of work from his band GEPH and got to talking to Josh about other musical projects. His next recommendation was ‘Stories of Earth’ by Body English, a musical project of Clint Degan and one in which Josh was now involved, although he didn’t play on this particular release.
Well, what can I say, one listen and I was hooked, a real ball of nervous, upbeat musical energy with a freshness that has to be heard to be believed and the rest, as they say, is history, here we are at the review…..
Album opener Kiss Them, begins with a really summery and upbeat guitar riff that just gets you tapping your foot to the rhythm before Clint’s vocals join in. He has a very distinctive voice with clipped enunciation and I think it works perfectly with the sharp and incisive music. This is feel-good music at its best, it will put a smile on your face from the first resonating note. The intricate drumming fits perfectly well with the relatively pared back sound on this track and the beautiful guitar runs just add another layer of class. There is a more emotive feel to You Were Something Else, from the effusive opening you can feel a more serious tone. The piano and heartfelt vocal deliver empathy and sentiment which builds up until the graceful violin adds the final touch. I get a real feeling of a hometown finesse to the music. Take some Ben Folds Five, add in some of The Tea Party and garnish with The Twenty Committee and you’ll have some idea of the rather excellent sound of Clint’s creation. The dashes of organ and strings adds a real feeling of lazy Sunday afternoons and a hint of almost ecclesiastical polish. A slightly off-kilter guitar solo leads in another softly delivered vocal section, underpinned by some more compassionate piano playing. I don’t know why but, I get a real sense of 70’s rock about this track, albeit updated to modern times with the excellent production. Prose and Poetry is just that, a rhythmical literary piece intelligently set to music. The halting vocals and delicate music that open the track keep you on the edge of your seat in anticipation of what is coming. There is a build up of tension as the song unfolds before you, Clint’s voice increasing with passion before an elaborate and convoluted instrumental section impresses with musical chops. The song then carries on with that slightly dense musical delivery, the vocals being the centrepiece and the music providing excellent support, a clever piece of musical theatre.
Next, a most raucous track that has real country music undertones and some jazz pointers too, I Don’t Want To Be A Housewife (for Someone Else’s Family) seems to bound along with a relentless and infectious energy, the slightly manic drumbeat a case in part. Strings, saxophone, piano and guitar all combine to deliver something almost vaudevillian with tongue firmly in cheek. Clint’s vocals are impish and full of mischief. The song flies along breathlessly, dragging you along in its wake, thoroughly enjoying the ride. The impressive fiddle adds an electric-folk edge, there’s so much going on here that it could easily become an untidy mess but the skill of the musicians keeps it flowing, laughing its maniacal little head off. Once you’ve calmed down from the fun and frolics of the previous track, Do It Slowly is an acerbic, wistful love story. It begins all slow paced and solemn with a deferential drumbeat underscoring a melancholic, powerfully harsh guitar. A remorseful and unfeigned vocal from Clint delivers the sad story to the listening audience, the forceful guitar interjections adding to the sorrowful atmosphere. A compelling track of love and loss delivered in Body English’s own inimitable style, leaves you with a lump in your throat. Americana influenced with lap-steel sounding guitar and vibrant piano, Rock n’ Roll Will Save You is short and sweet but still leaves its own mark on proceedings. A vibrant, fast-paced little song that wears its heart on its sleeve, it has a sanguine tone of hope and, yet, the slightly grating solo adds a little edge to the pleasantries. The run out to the close is quite inspiring.
Sound Asleep takes Clint’s tentative and tender vocal as its focal point, opening with a laid back tone before the brass lifts the pace slightly. It seems to be treading water, letting the vocals take the lead, the drums holding pace perfectly. Perhaps the most lightweight track on the album in stature before opening up with a theatrical, almost cinematic guitar and brass instrumental section. A more serious overtone muscles in, edgy and nervous, trying to stay in the background but giving an anxious tone to the vocal. I love the funky almost ‘movie soundtrack’ feel to the repeated instrumental section and the guitar solo could have come direct from a 70’s Bond theme, a really clever song. So onto the last, and longest track and one with a title to match its 10 minute plus running time, The Humour in the Heart of the Old Grey Mountain begins with a real spooky sci-fi tone, all ominous and inspirational. A laid back and low key guitar then takes over before the vocals begin, soft and gentle, accompanied by an unadorned piano. Profound and sincere, Clint delivers his most open and honest performance on the album. A song that draws you in and leaves you caught on every word and note, the expressive songwriting and rousing music lending a spring to your step and pride in your heart. This track that has theatrical overtones then seems to segue into a progressive overture full of pomp and circumstance and one that fills you with joie de vivre and hope. Insistent, dynamic drumming is the foundation on which this labyrinthine section is built on, all the other instruments then taking their place in the greater scheme of things and lending a cinematic tone. As the song, and the album, reaches its final chapter, we return to the almost pastoral beginnings and Clint’s hope-filled voice leads us to the close, accompanied by that contemplative piano.
I love it when I find really good music by chance, this album is a breath of fresh air compared to the glut of incoming music that I have heard recently that all sounds the same. Yes, it might not appeal to everyone but, I for one love it. Give it a chance and there is a high possibility it could be brightening your day anytime soon….

The police should not search your car without a valid reason because it is your private property. The ability of the police to search vehicles is subject to several restrictions. An unlawful search could give you the right to challenge the search in court.
You must be aware of your legal rights in order to defend yourself against unauthorized searches. Here’s what you should know:
Your Fourth Amendment rights
The Fourth Amendment safeguards people by preventing the government from violating their privacy without a valid reason. Furthermore, before any search can be conducted, either a judge must issue and sign warrants or the police must get your consent to the search.
But, there are exceptions to those rules. When there is probable cause that your car contains illegal items, contraband or evidence of a crime, Maryland police may be allowed to search it. This may occur if there’s circumstantial evidence in plain view that would lead to a warranted search.
What’s most important to remember?
If the police ask to search your car, which they often do, you have the right to decline — and that may be enough to deter them if they can’t justify a warrant or meet another exception. Refusing to assist them with their case (which you should do) may shield you from incurring potential criminal charges. It may also open the door to a legal challenge over any evidence of a crime that they find if they proceed with the search over your objections.
It’s important to understand your rights if the police pull you over. If this happens, you may need to reach out for legal help and follow up with current laws.

No need to wonder what Beverly Hills, 90210’s Brian Austin Green did on his summer vacation. The fledgling musician showed off his new, dreadlocked look at a recent Fox party in New York City. ”I got bored, and it gets really hot during the day,” says Green, who admits the hairdo may not go over well with 90210 honcho Aaron Spelling. ”Aaron hasn’t seen [my hair] yet, so I don’t know if I’ll have it for the show,” he says. ”But Jason [Priestley] and Jennie [Garth] liked it. Well, Jennie was laughing at first, but she likes it.”

Recollecting India's frantic efforts to end starvation after independence
Early years of the republic were scarred by the Bengal Famine. But its desperate efforts to end starvation were full of policy missteps.

The British asserted that they proved the weakness of Indians.

The bill introduced in the General Assembly by Senator Mike Skindell and Representative Bob Hagan would allow doctors, first responders, emergency agencies, and the local emergency planning commission in each county to obtain the needed information on all chemicals located at an oil or gas well.
Currently, Ohio law requires oil and gas drillers to only provide chemical information to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.
Teresa Mills with the Buckeye Forest Council says it’s the local emergency planners, firefighters and haz-mat crews that need the information, so they know how to safely respond to a spill, fire or explosion.
According to Ohio Citizen Action, more than seven-thousand residents have written letters or called lawmakers in support of the Fracking Emergency Medical Right to Know Act. Mills says it’s a critical matter for the public health.
Besides the many chemicals used during the injection process, Mills says there are also chemicals that come back out of the ground that are toxic as well.
Some of those chemicals are linked to rapid pulse, anemia and nervous system damage.


A senior Hamas official accepted Wednesday that dozens of rioters wiped out by Israeli soldiers in the Gaza Strip were members of the militant group.
The official, Salah Bardawil, informed the private Palestinian news electric outlet Baladna TV that 50 from the protesters killed in Monday’s assault were members, with the others getting “from the people. ” He failed to specify what roles the sufferers had in the organization, such as whether or not they were members of the group’s equipped wing.

In response to the particular uproar over his remarks, Bardawil later said in a statement that will Israel was “legitimizing the eliminating of Palestinians just because they are Palestinians or just because they are Hamas, even if these were unarmed and defending their pride and rights. ”
On Wednesday, the Israeli Army released a that appeared to show protesters detonating several explosions near the border. Additionally, it said its forces had wiped out a squad of Hamas gunmen who opened fire at soldiers.
Luxury touring. Col. Jonathan Conricus, a army spokesman, said 14 of those murdered Monday were actively involved in executing attacks.
Israel says it uses live open fire only as a last resort. Snipers are supposed to aim at protesters’ hip and legs and can shoot only with authorization from a commander.
Despite the evidence, the pictures of of rifle-toting Israeli snipers facing off against seemingly disarmed protesters caused an uproar all over the world.
Nations have summoned and recalled ambassadors, the U. N. has released condemnations and some have called for a study of Israel’s actions. The Palestinians held a one-day general hit and called for three days of grieving for the victims.
The U. S i9000. was among the few countries that will came to Israel’s defense, backing the right to protect its border on a single day that it countered international disapproval of moving its embassy through Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

S. move, recalled their ambassadors to four European countries that got supported it.

North Point is a small neighborhood located off Ben Sawyer Boulevard, which accesses Sullivan’s Island. The homes at the front of the neighborhood were built in the 1980s for the most part with some newer constructions mixed in. They are sized from around 1,200 square feet up to 2,600 square feet. The homes at the back of the neighborhood were constructed in the 1990s, and they measure anywhere from 1,600 square feet to 3,600 square feet. The main draw of the North Point subdivision is its proximity to the beach at Sullivan’s Island and other parts of the Charleston area.

Writer, Captain America, Don Mcgregor discussed on My Marvelous Year
Just i mean there was something of the representation and the You know we were just talking like people who are not white men. Don't give those get those chances. And i think those chances need to be more like equally distributed but like i'm not opposed to that idea that people who are not of the cultures can't write about them i just don't think is interesting most of the time. I think it's just harder because you don't have that lived experience. You don't have that specificity. That comes with like deeply understanding. Something I until until the representation across these publishers is is even resembling something that is close to what it should be. I would i would say i'm opposed to it. I mean i agree with the general idea of like don mcgregor wrote or favorite black panther story. Jason aaron wrote a very specifically indigenous comic book scalped. Which i love. That book is a white guy. And i think that's a great book but it's doable. But the reason we keep seeing. It's doable is because they keep getting the bats anyway so to me it's like i am opposed to it in the again like you cannot pronounce expensive as the writer of black panther. Like if you're mobile you cannot do that and typically severe because of the the huge disappear Disparity in like hiring for so long right like if the hiring had always been more equitable throughout of history. Wouldn't be that big of a deal. I guess they're kind of talking on two different issues. Where like socially i want these jobs to become like the the writers writing black stories to be predominantly black and the writers writing asian. Asian like socially. I think those jobs should go to the people who have them philosophically. I think like a big large scale. I think anyone should be able to tell any story they want you know like on kind of the philosophy of art right. I don't think any story preface to that all things being equal. No right exactly. yes yes i just. I think that's the distinction that's important to me somewhat Of just nine being the inverse that is not Is not easy. Coach should not be writing. Captain america because you should. Oh yeah more versus is not also true. This is part of marble. Did not have a black female writer until twenty fifteen. I like that s- baffling to me right. And they had what like three black writers three black men writers from the eighties until the two thousand. Like very that's a accurate statistic that confounding. I don't know if that's true. I don't know about. I mean the black woman thing is true like the. I remember that coming up. Yeah that's true. i. I don't know how many black writers they had i mean. Christopher priest's is the big one. I don't know how many others they had a few few artists anywhere duffy. Reginald huddling hungry. That i can think of right away in..

Who is Thomas Moore? Information on Irish national poet Thomas Moore biography, life story, works and poems.
Thomas Moore; Irish national poet: b. Dublin, Ireland, May 28, 1779; d. Devizes, Wiltshire, England, Feb. 26, 1852. He graduated from Trinity College, Dublin, in 1799, and went to London, where he entered the Middle Temple, expecting to follow a legal career. Exceptionally talented in his command of classical Greek, in 1800 he published a translation of the Odes of Anacreon. This was his first introduction to the London world of letters and was an immediate success. His brilliant conversational powers together with his poetical and musical gifts soon made him a favorite in fashionable society. In 1803 he was appointed registrar of the admiralty court at Bermuda; but after spending a few months there, he was appointed a deputy and left for a tour of the United States, where, at Norfolk, Va., he met President Thomas Jefferson. After visiting Canada he returned to England.
In 1806 Moore published Epistles, Odes and Other Poems, a volume which was so roughly handled by the critic Lord Jeffrey (Francis Jeffrey) in the Edinburgh Review that Moore challenged him to a duel. The police appeared and put an end to the affair. Explanations followed, and the men became close friends. In consequence of a rumor that the pistols were not loaded, Byron wrote a fierce satire which caused Moore to send a challenge to him. Mutual friends interfered and a friendship was formed which lasted for life.
In 1811 Moore married the young Irish actress Bessie Dyke, to whom he was deeply devoted throughout a long and happy marriage. They lived at Kegworth in Leicestershire for some time, and moved to Mayfield Cottage, Ashbourne, Derbyshire, in 1813. His literary credit was now so. high that Longmans, the publishers, signed a contract to pay £3,000 for the yet unwritten Lalla Rookh. This poem was published in 1817 and brought him worldwide fame, going through many editions and being translated into many European languages. Returning from a short tour of the Continent, he went to live at Sloperton Cottage, Devizes, which remained his home until his death in 1852. His grave is in neighboring Bromham.
By the defalcation of his deputy in Bermuda, Moore was rendered liable for a debt of £6,000, which was afterward reduced to £1,000. In order to avoid the debtor’s prison he was obliged to go abroad. He traveled on the Continent with friends, visited Byron in Italy in October 1819, and for three years lived in Paris, where his family joined him in 1820. Having cleared off the debt by his writings, he returned to England in 1823. That year he published Rhymes on the Road, Fables for the Holy Alliance (he excelled in satirical verse) and The Loves of the Angels, and renewed his arrangements with James Powers, the music publisher, for the continued publication of the Irish Melodies. These appeared in series from 1807 to 1834 and established him as the national lyricist of Ireland (see Irish Literature in the English Language—Poetry: 19th Century Poets). Many of the numbers, such as “The Last Rose of Summer” and “Those Evening Bells,” are generally familiar. His National Airs (1815) included “Oft in the Stilly Night” and the Sacred Songs (1816), “Sound the Loud Timbrel.” In 1825 appeared his Life of Sheridan and The Memoirs of Captain Rock.
The Life of Byron (full title, The Letters and Journals of Lord Byron, with Notices of his Life), which Thomas Babington Macaulay characterized as “deserving to be classed amongst the best specimens of English prose which any age had provided,” was published in 1830, and remains the most authoritative life of Byron. Byron had given Moore his memoirs in 1819 to be sold for publication after his death. Moore sold them to the publisher John Murray in 1821, but at the insistence of Byron’s literary executor and close friends, bought them back and burned them.
Moore’s last literary works were The History of Ireland in four volumes (1835-1846) and the collection of his poetical works in 10 volumes. His later years were saddened by domestic grief, his five children all dying before him. In his old age his health and memory failed, following a seizure. His diary and correspondence, edited by Lord John Russell, were published in eight volumes (1853-56) as Memoirs, Journal and Correspondence of Thomas Moore.

Odd, then, that the farmers who get paid by far the most in subsidies are the multimillionaire barley barons
Not really. the average farm size (94.7 ha) is nearly six times higher than the EU average (16.1 ha) But according to Saville's(2016)the average farm size(combinable crops) is just over 300 hectares.
30% of the direct payment allocation, paid per hectare, is linked to three environmentally-friendly farming practices: crop diversification, maintaining permanent grassland and dedicating 5 % of arable land to environmentally friendly measures (so-called 'ecological focus areas').
England has applied a basic payment at a flat rate according to three different types of land (defined as 'non-severely disadvantaged areas','lowlands & severely disadvantaged areas' and 'upland,other moorland and moorland');
The more land you have the more dosh you get but arable farms, as explained. are larger and require greater capitilization to operate.
With sheep all you need is fencing (unless heft)and a dog or two.
A sheep costs nominally £100, a combine £125,000. There is also far more financial risk in arable farming.

Osinbajo Admits Approving N640 Billion Oil Contracts For NNPC
Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo on Thursday admitted that he approved the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation joint venture financing contracts as disclosed by the government-owned oil firm.
The Senior Special Assistant to the Vice President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Laolu Akande, confirmed this in a series of tweets on his confirmed Twitter handle, @akandeoj.
Akande said Osinbajo approved the recommendations for the contracts as part of necessary actions to deal with the backlog of unpaid cash calls and incentivise investments.
He added that the approval was given after due diligence and adherence to established procedure.
He said Osinbajo approved the contract in his capacity as the Acting President when President Muhammadu Buhari was away on medical vacation.
“In response to media inquiries on NNPC joint venture financing, VP Osinbajo, as Ag President approved recommendations after due diligence and adherence to established procedure.
“Action was necessary to deal with huge backlog of unpaid cash calls which Buhari administration inherited and also to incentivize much needed fresh investments in the oil and gas sector,” he said.

Maverick in San Francisco is a place worth checking out, in my opinion. It's in the space on 17th Street between Valencia and Mission that used to be Limon.
It was slow this past Friday lunch when I was there with a friend, so I got a chance to chat with Mike, the owner/manager (he told me dinners and weekend brunch are quite a bit busier).
I had a Hoagie sandwich, and my friend had the fish and chips. The batter on the fish, which I tried, was unbelievably light and almost airy, but also very flavorful. It had a nice savory/nutty taste, and the fish (whatever it was, I forgot to ask) was perfectly cooked.
They seem to use very good, fresh bread for their sandwiches. I'm an L.A. native, so I can't comment on Hoagies from any breadth of experience, but it was a nice hunk of sandwich, filled with delicious, meaty cold cuts. It was great with the carignane/grenache blend I was drinking from Sutton Cellars (the wine list is short but very strong, so it's not a stretch for Mike to refer to the place, however casually, as a 'wine bar'). I think my friend had a glass of sparkling wine or champagne with the fish and chips. Each plate was about nine or ten bucks.
The housemade potato chips are excellent and must be as addictive as any of the contraband that still figures into the surrounding neighborhood's economy.
For the art lovers, the visual centerpiece of the small front room is a cool piece of art: a map of the U.S. that is actually several maps, divide up into thickly framed sections. The overall motif is medium-dark wood tables and walls, but the space has a ton of light pouring in from the front windows, which are celing-to-floor, if memory serves.
I'd comment on the stylish crowd, too, but I'll stop here before I begin to sound like a pretentious Chronicle food critic.
