Senate President, Ahmad Lawan yesterday declared that the Ninth National Assembly has concluded plans to ensure that programmes are implemented in conformity with laws and resolutions passed by the legislature.He disclosed this at the 2019 legislative conference in Abuja, saying that the Ninth Senate would do everything within its powers to ensure that it achieves this through its oversight functions.
Lawan, who was represented by the Chairman, Senate Committee on Legislative Compliance, Oriolowo Adeyemi, stated that beginning from January 2020, the Committee would be making available weekly publication of motions and laws passed, as well as compliance reports to members of the public.
He said such programmes would be implemented and administered efficiently and effectively in line with legislative intents. He stressed that non-compliance with laws made by the legislature was one of the major issues affecting the progress of the country.
“It has been observed that the key factor militating against progress in Nigeria is neither paucity of funds nor dearth of laws, but non-compliance with statutory requirements especially during implementation.
“Most of the problems we have are as a result on non-compliance with laws. There are a lot of laws and resolutions that have been passed by the National Assembly, but non-compliance has been the cause of our problems.
“The issue of compliance is germane to the strengthening of our oversight function,” he said.He maintained that the National Assembly was determined to run a legislature that works for all Nigerians, noting that the Ninth National Assembly had inaugurated the Committee on Legislative Compliance created by the Eighth Assembly.He said the yardstick for determining the performance of legislators was the number of bills produced, laws enacted, motions passed, petitions resolved, investigation carried out and committee reports produced.
Director General, Nigerian Institute of Advanced Legal Studies, Professor Muhammed Ladan in a keynote lecture, said the legislature must satisfy certain conditions to effectively deploy its oversight powers.He listed the conditions to include availability of capacity and oversight tools, adding that availability of materials, technical, financial and human resources to perform optimally in the oversight of other arms of governments was key.He noted that studies have shown that the legislators’ political will remained the most important determinant to oversight effectiveness.
Convener of the conference and Chief Executive Officer of HALLOW MACE Communications Limited, Sunny Osiebe, said the theme, Strengthening the Legislature for Effective Oversight Functions,” could not have been more timely and fitting.He argued that it was imperative to strengthen the legislative processes and procedures to further empower the legislature to carry out its core oversight functions.

Somalia Livestock and investment forum 2023
Livestock is the most dependable sector of Somalia’s productive sectors. According to the National Development Plan, Livestock is the main repository of household and national wealth, and the export-oriented pastoralist production system provides an important investment opportunity. In the early 2010s, the livestock sector accounted for around 78% of total exports though these have been occasionally interrupted by droughts and
international export bans in the last three decades. Somalia’s livestock products for consumption and export are Camel, Cattle, Sheep, Goat, and Fish. Livestock provides a source of income, while home consumption of meat and other animal products represents an important source of food security.
According to the Directorate of National Statistics (DNS) at the Ministry of Planning, Investment Economic Development (MOPIED), exports in current prices amounted to 806 million US Dollars in 2016. Livestock continues to account for 60.7% of GDP and over 70% of exports.
The Ministry of livestock, forestry, and Range (MOLFR) will organize The First Somalia Livestock Investment Forum LIF2023 in Mogadishu, Somalia. LIF2023 event aims to bring together key sector stakeholders into one large platform full of expertise, investors, researchers, policy makers, as well as other wider well known livestock industry promotors to discuss, debate and talk about the investment opportunities and challenges in Somalia’s livestock as well as develop strategies for promoting sustainable growth in the sector. Hence identifying areas of collaboration andinvestmentinSomalia.
The forum will also raise awareness about the potential of the Somali livestock industry contributing to the country’s economic development and promote the sector as a viable investment opportunity for both domestic and international investors.
Join Us at the Somalia Livestock and Investment Forum!
About the Event
The three (3) day long event will take place in Hotel Jazeera, located next to the AAIA, Mogadishu, Somalia, attracting ever 400 delegations from all over the world, with increased investment, smart regulation, infrastructure development, sector coordination, and improved branding, Somalia has ample opportunities to capitalize on the growth of the livestock sector in the Middle East and other regions of the world, while supporting the growing local demand.

Katie Holmes shines in oddball vigilante pic; so-so movie survives on the strength of some cute scenes, and a couple of good performances.
by Don Stradley
The opening shot of Karen Leigh Hopkins' Miss Meadows is a dandy. We see Katie Holmes as the prim and proper title character tap dancing down a suburban sidewalk, reading a book of poetry. A goon in a pickup truck says something lewd to her. She shoots him with a dainty little pistol. She weeps, not only because some of the blood from her victim has spattered her crisp white dress, but also because, I sensed, her idyllic morning was ruined. If only the rest of the movie had been so cryptic and unpredictable.
Miss Meadows, it turns out, is a vigilante of some sort. When she's not working as a substitute teacher, she's emptying the streets of perverts and molesters. She does a lot of this in broad daylight and manages to go unnoticed, even as her victims pile up. Eventually, a local sheriff (James Badge Dale) takes on the case, suspects Miss Meadows is the one he's searching for, but also happens to fall in love with her strange mannerisms and, I assume, her hot body. They do have a great bedroom scene, one of the sweetest of the past decade or so, but their chemistry is suspicious. Some of her behaviour is so oddball that I have a hard time believing anyone wouldn't think she was batty.
Miss Meadows eventually befriends one of her little students, kills some more people, finds herself impregnated by the sheriff, and reveals that an incident from her childhood is what set her off on her mission to rid the streets of bad men. It all feels like a cheap origin story culled from an old comic book.
There was a film made a few years ago where Jody Foster played a woman whose husband was killed, and she, too, became a sort of vigilante. A cop befriended her in that one, too. If I recall correctly, he lets her go at the end, feeling she'd suffered enough. That movie almost succeeded because it was gritty and mean. This one is too self-consciously quirky to have any major impact on our senses or our emotions. Holmes thinks there is enough conflict going on just in having Miss Meadows be an optimist, enduring catty comments from neighbors who call her naive for her upbeat manner. Meanwhile, she encourages her students to release balloons into heaven in honor of a recently deceased teacher. She's a sweet person, and her students grow to love her.
Some of this is especially effective because of Katie Holmes' mercurial performance. She allows us to see just enough cracks beneath her chipper facade to make us think she might be on the verge of a mental breakdown, then she bounces back, focusing on her tap shoes, or trying to keep her students from dwelling on anything negative.
When a new ex-con (Callan Mulvey) arrives in her neighborhood (many have been released due to overcrowded prisons), Miss Meadows sets about meeting him and explaining that she will end his life if he does anything bad. He's a formidable foe, though, and takes her challenge seriously.
This is when the movie loses its footing. We get all sorts of pumped up drama that doesn't seem connected to the first part of the movie, which was mildly amusing, and slightly skewed. Ultimately, Miss Meadows goes unpunished. Is it because Miss Meadows wears taps on her shoes that we're supposed to think she deserves a happy life outside of prison walls? By the end, the sheriff seems like a flat character, jammed into the story for the sole purpose of loving her, while she seems less like a human being and more like a traditional movie psycho found in projects like this one.
Much of their relationship involves him not quite keeping up with her, for she tends to answer questions in a literal fashion. Example: When she starts discussing murder after they make love, he says "Is that your idea of pillow talk?" She responds, "Pillows don't talk." He goes with the flow. She is, after all, an attractive woman. But I can't accept a hard-nosed cop being such a pushover for a pretty face. If he, too, were deranged, then I could buy it. But we see nothing in his persona to make us think they really belong together.
There is a subplot that I enjoyed, involving Miss Meadows and one of her students (a delightful Ava Kolker, who just became my favorite child actress). This is a sweetly developed little friendship, and it made me think of the potential story in a disturbed teacher and a needy eight year old. Unfortunately, it's not developed beyond a few cute scenes.
It's also cute when Miss Meadows begins tap dancing to her beau's imaginary accordion playing. They're in a park, enjoying a picnic, when he reveals that he once wanted to play the accordion, which she informs him is the world's second least appreciated instrument. As she dances, and he joins her, the movie takes on a Harold & Maude weirdness, which would have been nice had it continued. Hopkins wanted this movie to be a little bit of everything - part vigilante fairy tale, part quirky indy pic, part offbeat romance. But you can't have everything, especially when it's all squashed into 90 minutes.

Thought up one day by Timba Smits and Gordon “Flash” Shaw on the bus to a hospital appointment, the brilliantly named Not For Rental currently on show at London’s 71A Gallery exhibits work by hundreds of the most exciting emerging talent in art, illustration, photography and graphic design. This isn’t just any exhibition, however; as the title infers, each piece of work looks to condense the plot of the artist’s favourite film into one image, and it’s then exhibited as the sleeve art in a VHS case. It’s like all of your nineties teenage dreams merged in one Blockbuster basement!
Alongside the work, a number of workshops, talks and film screenings are taking place in the gallery space, and on Saturday July 13 all of the artwork on show will be sold on a first come first served basis at £50 a pop. All proceeds go to Art Against Knives and Macmillan Cancer Support. If this doesn’t make you want to dust off your old video collection and fumble around behind the telly with a bunch of scart leads and a head full of determination then frankly, I don’t know what will.
Not For Rental is at 71A Gallery in London from July 4 to July 13.

The Valley of the Sun is becoming increasingly attractive to tech firms and real estate developers alike. Over the last few years, market analysts have been closely following the transformation of Phoenix as a tech hub that may one day rival California's Silicon Valley, and recent news developments suggest that this Arizona metropolis is headed in the right direction.
In late July, the Phoenix Business Journal published a news story about MDSL, a leading software developer based in the United Kingdom. Sumeru Equity Partners, the investment capital firm that owns MDSL, announced its acquisition of Telesoft, a developer of expense management solutions based in Phoenix; along with the acquisition, Sumeru also directed MDSL to establish an American headquarters office in Arizona for the purpose of expanding from its current London head office.
It is important to note that MDSL is a high-caliber tech firm that could have easily established its headquarters office in Silicon Valley; however, its decision to stay in Phoenix speaks volumes about the Valley of the Sun as it seeks to establish itself as a major tech hub.
The MDSL Expansion in Phoenix
Sumeru has big plans for the MDSL-Telesoft operation in Phoenix as it will operate within two lucrative markets segments: one will be dedicated to providing Software-as-a-Service platforms to businesses around the world. The other segment will cater to the American enterprise sector, which often requires customized or hybrid solutions that must be delivered on-premise in order to comply with regulatory or operational requirements.
The decision to combine the MDSL and Telesoft investments came naturally to Sumeru executives; in the wake of the Brexit referendum that will see the United Kingdom leaving the European Union in the next few years, tech firms based in London have been actively seeking new locations for their offices. While many London financial services companies are setting their sights on Amsterdam, Frankfurt and Paris, quite a few technology firms have expressed interest in emerging American tech hubs such as Phoenix.
Why Tech Firms Are Moving to Phoenix
As with other American metropolitan areas such as Austin and Miami, Phoenix is ripe with business opportunities for tech startups and entrepreneurs. In the past, the Valley of the Sun was mostly known for its agricultural, financial and hospitality industries; in recent years, however, business growth has largely shifted to the tech sector.
A current trend among Arizona entrepreneurs is to call up a large Phoenix moving company and set up shop at the old Warehouse District, a place that has been transformed into a promising campus for tech startups. Large warehouse complexes built at the start of the 20th century have been renovated and taken over by various tech firms that offer shared working spaces for tech entrepreneurs. One of these companies is Galvanize, which is dedicated to electronic medical records solutions but is also interested in other promising fields.
The Phoenix Proposition
Not long ago, commercial real estate analysts in Phoenix believed that the Old Warehouse District would take the gentrification route as owners of trendy art galleries, nightclubs and cafes consider moving into the area. To this effect, residential developers entertained the idea of building luxury condominium towers near the district; nonetheless, plans have changed with the arrival of the tech sector.
Over the next three years, real estate developers intend to add 5,000 housing units near the Old Warehouse District. These units will be mostly apartments that middle-class families and single professionals working in the tech sector can reasonably afford. There will be some luxury condominium projects, but not as many as originally planned because developers do not want to take their chances of becoming stuck in another housing bubble.
In the end, Phoenix will probably continue to attract tech firms and entrepreneurs due to its high quality of life and the available talent graduating from the nearby University of Arizona.

What Your Food Cravings Are Really Telling You!
Ever find yourself having incredibly strong cravings for a certain type of food? Well, according to scientific research, it could be your body’s way of telling you that you’re lacking in a specific nutrient.
Genuine hunger is triggered by the stomach and if you’re hungry enough, it’s likely you’d eat pretty much anything. Cravings though, tend to be a lot more specific and focused on a certain type of food, which gives a lot away in terms of what your body truly needs or might be lacking. You may not realize it, but certain cravings can tell you exactly what your body is crying out for.
Here are some common food cravings and what they suggest your body isn’t getting enough of so that next time you reach for that chocolate bar or salty food, you are well informed to make the right food choice for your body!
Have a craving for chocolate? It might be more than just a sweet tooth, especially if you’re not really craving other sweet foods in the same way. A strong craving for chocolate can be a sign that you’re not getting enough magnesium in your diet.
Dark chocolate in particular is a good source of magnesium and with a high-quality choice, you could get as much as 25% of your daily needs of this mineral with just one square. Trouble is, most people gravitate towards the milk chocolate kind that is full of sugar and offers little to no nutritional value.
What to eat instead: Boost your magnesium intake with leafy greens, avocado and pumpkin seeds. If you really can’t stay away from chocolate, make sure you go for dark chocolate that is rich in cacao (my favorite is 85%, but choose 70% at a minimum) and just stick to one or two squares. As a general rule of thumb: the darker the chocolate, the more magnesium it’s likely to have.
Craving other sweet foods can suggest you’re not getting enough chromium in your diet. Your body doesn’t need a huge amount of this mineral, but it is exceptionally important for helping insulin to do its job and improving blood sugar levels.
Some studies have looked at whether chromium picolinate supplements could be used to reduce cravings in general and there is some evidence it could do this, especially for women who are currently overweight.
What to eat instead: Stock up on broccoli, onions, green beans, mushrooms, tomato and romaine lettuce for a chromium boost. Cinnamon is also another option.
Constantly craving salty foods could be a sign that your adrenal glands are under stress. If this happens, it can mean that they aren’t producing the right balance of hormones. This can encourage your kidneys to get rid of more salt and your body then craves it to get your salt levels back up again.
Mineral deficiencies can also be a factor. Your body needs minerals such as potassium for lots of different roles in the body but if you’re lacking in it, it may lead to a yearning for salt.
It can be a sign that you’re dehydrated too. Your body needs a certain amount of fluid to function properly and if you’re beneath that, craving salt could be a subtle way of telling you this.
What to eat instead: If low potassium is the culprit, you can eat more bananas, avocado, tomatoes, potatoes and cantaloupe melon to counteract it. Or drink a glass of water if you suspect you might be dehydrated. If you’re not sure about your adrenal glands, speak to your doctor about getting them tested. Good quality sleep is also important for your adrenals.
Meat cravings can happen often. Even veggies and vegans can get a real craving for meat as it can be a sign of iron deficiency. Plant based iron sources aren’t always used as efficiency as animal sources, so this is a possibility.
What to eat instead: Red meat is a great source of iron, particularly beef. If you don’t eat meat, make sure your diet includes plenty of legumes, beans, prunes, figs and dried fruits. Don’t go too overboard with dried fruits though as they can contain a lot of natural hidden sugar. You can help iron absorption more easily by consuming it alongside vitamin C rich foods such as oranges.
Can’t stop eating cheese? You could be lackingin essential fatty acids. And less surprisingly, it may also indicate a calcium or vitamin D deficiency. Sugar cravings are another possibility as milk contains natural sugars in the form of lactose.
What to eat instead: Walnuts, chia seeds, flax seeds and wild salmon are all great sources of fatty acids. Experts recommend that you eat fatty fish a couple of times per week if you are a fish eater. If calcium is the problem, greens such as broccoli and kale can boost your levels. And of course, there’s always cheese itself if you eat dairy!
This isn’t an obvious link, but craving ice can mean you’re not getting enough iron. It’s part of a wider range of cravings for things that don’t offer any nutritional value and is known as pica. Some experts have linked pica to an iron deficiency, although they’re not entirely sure what the connection is.
What to eat instead: Stock up on iron rich foods such as meat, legumes, beans and dried fruits.
Do you find yourself craving any of these foods often? Perhaps it’s time to boost your nutrition and replenish those essential vitamin and mineral levels.

A bus crash at the Chicago O’Hare Airport Friday morning injured at least 15 people.
The crash happened around 6:35 a.m. when a shuttle bus hit a barrier in the westbound lanes of Interstate 190 leading into the airport, just before Terminal 1, said Officer Jose Estrada, a Chicago Police Department spokesman.
“The bus appeared to just come to a sudden stop; unknown as to why. That’s under investigation,” Fire Department District Chief Tim Sampey said.
Fire Chief Timothy Sampey said the driver of the bus was pinned in during the crash.
Two firefighters happened to be behind the bus in separate vehicles, and witnessed the crash. One of the firefighters grabbed a hammer from his car and broke a window on the bus to get to the driver, reported CBS Chicago. The firefighter and an airport employee who arrived at the scene helped get the driver out of the bus while the other firefighter boarded the bus and began triage on the injured passengers.
The I-190 entrance to O’Hare was closed while emergency crews helped all of the passengers get off the bus. By 8:30 a.m., all lanes were reopened.
At least 14 ambulances were called to the scene and victims were reported to be taken to Our Lady of the Resurrection Medical Center, Swedish Covenant Hospital, and Loyola University Medical Center.
Fire officials said four people were transported in critical condition, five in fair-to-serious condition, four in good condition and two people refused treatment.
Officials said the cause of the crash was under investigation.

It has been exactly one week since I wrote my last story about my father, and as I envisioned, so many good things have unfolded in this short period and they have kept me away from here. So now that I am back, let’s see what I want to talk about….
I think, through Audrey Hepburn‘s quotes, today I want to tell you about a beautiful shift that has taken place in me lately.
You know, if you personally know me or have read some of my earlier stories, I like to think myself as a fearless person. However, the truth is that I have had fears in certain areas of my life, but never consciously recognized them as such. And when I started to recognize them, the biggest fear I have always had surfaced as that of being alone.
The first time I discovered that fear was when I went to university abroad and ended up alone in a dormitory room of two. While everyone else had a roommate to live together, somehow I wasn’t assigned a roommate and that way I experienced the thing called being alone for the first time in my life. Before then, thanks to my large extended families on both parents’ sides, my living space was always full of people, especially my cousins, from whom I was virtually inseparable.
Back then when I had no one to interact with in my dormitory room, I would feel a particular awful feeling as if the walls were going to swallow me. Sometimes when the feeling got so bad, I would run out to the lobby to see and feel other humanbeings’ existence and comfort myself. Then at some point, not able to take it any longer, one day I asked the residence manager for a roommate and got one to my relief.
So that was when I discovered the awful feeling of being alone for the first time. Since that discovery, the awful feeling revisited me again and again each time I stayed alone at home for over one day. Then with my decision to leave my homeland for good, it became my constant company and made me feel really awful for the past 4 years…. And especially during the past one year, it became my almost only company.
In the beginning, it tried to swallow me. Each time it tried to swallow me, I distracted myself by playing Youtube videos, listening to audiobooks or by getting hold of people via electronic messages. Then at some point, I grew to get used to it. Then after a while, I started to thrive because of it.
And by now, I can’t live without a healthy dose of it because being alone means facing myself, and when I face myself, I thrive. So now when I look back, all those years when I had so many people around me have been so much about other people and not much about me. So I wonder, what if I had really faced myself earlier?…
In any case, after living in several countries alone, now I have learnt how to truly live.
And when I learnt how to live, I became happy. In fact, I am getting happier and happier every day.
And as I got happier, I started feeling more and more beautiful about myself and about all that is in my life….
And also I started loving more and more….
As I explored and studied love, now I have come to know it as the best thing in life and the strongest force in the whole universe.
Also I have come to understand that all the bad things in the world happen because of lack of love and all negative people behave badly because of lack of love. So after I understood that, now I have started to make up with all the people, from whom I had walked away earlier.
So now I have a wish, a new wish to help people understand the incredible power of love. As soon as we understood that incredible power, Linda and I started communicating it to the near and dear ones in our lives. And at our earliest possibility, we wish to expand our outreach.
At my end, I keep trusting and following my heart. When I follow my heart, it always chooses what it loves. So being exposed to so much love, I see that the more love I give away, the lovelier my life gets.

In the middle of December, I wrote a column about bird counts and the upcoming Great Backyard Bird Count that will take place Feb. 17-20. During the bird count, the Audubon Society encourages all people to spend as little or as much time as they wish counting birds.
After counting, all participants have to do to report their counts is go online and fill out the online checklist located on the Great Backyard Bird Count website.
However, the GBBC is not the only bird count the Audubon Society does.
Danville had a midwinter bird count sponsored by the National Audubon Society on Dec. 17, and the results for this count were just recently released. Reading the results from the midwinter count makes me very excited for the upcoming GBBC.
During the December count, there were 14,429 individual birds counted, representing 68 different species. This count found the most individual birds counted since 1993.

News Roundup June 5th, 2020
n this news roundup, we discuss the rise of home health care needs as well as the expansion of telehealth and telemedicine in 2020 amid the pandemic. On the subject of telehealth, Amwell formerly known as American Well, announced last month that it raised $194 million to help it keep up with skyrocketing demand for remote telehealth services. Now it’s filing to go public later this year amid surging demands for telehealth services.

Amwell CEO Ido Schoenberg told CNBC in May that the markets are being “very kind to companies like us” in the current environment. “We don’t know how long it will last, and it’s possible the window for any type of funding might not be available quite soon,” Schoenberg said.
It has been known that home health agencies nationwide are juggling lower patient volumes and a lack of telehealth reimbursement during the pandemic. They are also dealing with a low inventory and high priced personal protective equipment (PPE). Once the dust settles, the home health care sector should be one of the very few to recover quickly post COVID-19.
As witnessed by Nova Leap Health Corp. an international provider of skilled home care and home health care. Nova Leap’s financials continue to improve despite a minor lull due to COVID-19. In a recent move, Nova Leap have expanded their home care operations to the state of Ohio.

“This is the first step of many future organic growth locations anticipated in the coming years”, stated Chris Dobbin, President & CEO of Nova Leap.
HHAs have faced a decline in patient visits while the chaos of the pandemic began. LHC Group, a home health, hospice and personal care services provider that operates in 35 states along with several other agencies experienced uncertainty of what was to be expected. Fortunately, the census is rising back to pre-COVID-19. Due to a high percentage of Covid-19 deaths that occurred at skilled nursing facilities, many agency owners along with LHC Group executives are convinced that the home health sector will be seeing a large percentage of those patients choose to be cared for at home.

Its crazy sometimes how the most simple things create the best things. These tic-tac-toe boards I created with my crafty friend are the perfect addition to our deck.
Start with a piece of wood, draw your lines(we used permanent marker on one and acryllic paint on the other. Find and wash 10 rocks of similar size. Paint x’s and o’s on the rocks. Once dry I brushed a couple of thin lawyers of clear polyurethane to add as a protective layer to the rocks and the wood piece.
The end result is something so simple but yet so genius.
Happy making and playing!

The essays in The Story About the Story Vol. II chart a trajectory that digs deep into the past and aims toward a future in which literature can play a new and more profound role in how we think, read, live, and write. In the second volume of The Story About the Story, editor J. C. Hallman continues to argue for an alternative to the staid five-paragraph-essay writing that has inoculated so many against the effects of good books. Writers have long approached writing about reading from an intensely personal perspective, incorporating their pasts and their passions into their process of interpretation. Never before collected in a single volume, the many essays Hallman has compiled build on the idea of a qcreative criticism, q and offers new possibilities for how to write about reading. The Story About the Story Vol. II documents not only an identifiable trend in writing about books that can and should be emulated, it also offers lessons from a remarkable range of celebrated authors that amount to an invaluable course on both how to write and how to read well. Whether they discuss a staple of the canon (Thomas Mann on Leo Tolstoy), the merits of a contemporary (Vivian Gornick on Grace Paley), a pillar of genre-writing (Jane Tompkins on Louis LaAmour), or, arguably, the funniest man on the planet (David Shields on Bill Murray), these essays are by turns poignant, smart, suggestive, intellectual, humorous, sassy, scathing, laudatory, wistful, and hopefulaand above all deeply engaged in a process of careful reading. The essays in The Story About the Story Vol. II chart a trajectory that digs deep into the past and aims toward a future in which literature can play a new and more profound role in how we think, read, live, and write.Even if that connection can be demonstrated, is censorship the right response? ...

Jharkhand school uniforms to get coloured as green, BJP cries politics
-By Sanjoy Kumar Dey
After around 35,000 government school buildings in Jharkhand are repainted in green and white, 42 lakh odd students studying in those institutes will get uniforms in new colour schemes to “freshen up the mind”.
For the students from middle school to the higher secondary level, the colour scheme of the uniform will be shades of green, while for primary schools, pupils will wear navy blue and pink uniforms, School Education Minister Jagarnath Mahto said. Presently, the colour code of uniform for all school students is the same – maroon in the lower part and cream white in the upper.
The BJP, however, finds a hidden political agenda in the selection of colours in the children’s school uniform as, the party claimed, those of the middle and high school students are inspired by the ruling Jharkhand Mukti Morcha’s green-and-white flag.
“The Jharkhand Education Project Council’s proposal related to change in colour of uniform has been approved by me and an official notification in this regard will be issued in a day or two,” Mahto told PTI.
The lower part of the new uniform for classes 6 to 12 will be of deep green colour, while the upper part of it will have a light green shade. The dupatta for girls will also be deep green.
Similarly, the colour of the lower part of the uniform for classes 1 to 5 will be navy blue and the upper part pink. The tie for these primary classes will be of navy blue colour, officials said.
“The new uniform will be introduced from this academic session. The government will provide uniforms to all students from classes 1 to 12.
“The state government, including the Centre’s aid, spends Rs 600 per student every year for two sets of uniforms, shoes and socks. However, the amount is very small. We will try to increase it,” the minister said. Mahto said that the objective behind the change in colour was to give a fresh feeling to the students’ minds, as their uniforms have not been changed since 2015-16.
“The colour picked for middle and high school students is very close to nature and also good for the eyes,” the minister said. Contacted by PTI, BJP state president Deepak Prakash said it is unfortunate that the JMM is now taking politics to the school level.
“We all love the green colour but this government is using this colour to send out a political message. The government is playing a political agenda in the name of nature. School students should be kept out of politics,” Prakash said.
Mahto denied that there is politics in the decision to change the colour scheme of school uniforms.
“The opposition may find politics in it. But I am speaking the truth – there is no politics in it. Had it been so, we would also have picked the same colour for primary school students,” the minister said.
More than 35,000 government schools in Jharkhand are also getting a fresh coat of paint in green-and-white shades, colours associated with the JMM’s party flag. The minister said that work to paint the school buildings is on and it will be completed in a month.
The walls of the school buildings will be painted in swan, angora or coconut white, while frosted green or mehndi green will be used for borders and projections of the walls. The doors and windows, and also the toilets will be painted in deep green.
Earlier, school buildings were painted pink and toilets blue.
When the government decided to repaint the schools last month, the BJP cried foul alleging that the shades were chosen to send out a political message.

Gamesa has signed an agreement with state-owned utility Vattenfall for the supply of 36 MW in Sweden.
Under the terms of the agreement, Gamesa will supply and install 18 of its G97-2.0 MW turbines at the Hoge Vag wind farm, located in the municipality of Kristianstad in the Swedish county of Skane. The turbines will be equipped with Gamesa's MaxPower technology, which the company says increases the turbines' nominal capacity from 2.0 MW to 2.1 MW, thereby boosting the facility's output. The wind turbines are scheduled for delivery during the first half of 2015, and the facility is slated for commissioning toward the end of next year.
Gamesa notes this is the first supply order from Vattenfall. Ricardo Chocarro, CEO of Gamesa Europe and RoW, says, ‘This agreement with Vattenfall, one of the world's leading energy players, represents a vote of confidence in our technology solutions. Moreover, this contract marks a fresh milestone in our product and sales strategy in northern Europe and, specifically, in Sweden, one of our priority markets."

Caught in the Net: Bill Callahan dips into his past
Friday 06 May 2011
Bill Callahan recently added to his huge catalogue of recordings – both using his own name and the moniker Smog – with a great new album, Apocalypse.
However, last week, when he dropped in at the Horseshack Studios in Rock Island, Illinois, to perform a Daytrotter session (now a perennial stop on the indie merry-go-round), he decided to dip into his back catalogue, playing three spare, country-tinged songs with his typically dry, downbeat vocal delivery. The tracks are can be found at ind.pn/ l0dMmQ. It would have been nice if he'd perhaps played "America", the best song on the new record, but you can't have it all, and he's in fine form – and it's free – so one shouldn't quibble.
XL Recordings are on a roll
With a string of acclaimed and high-profile releases the label XL Recordings has been on a roll over the last few years. Aiding said roll has been the setting up of the XL Studio in west London in 2008. The studio is run by the producer Rodaidh McDonald and has seen the likes of The xx record their award-winning debut album there. Now XL have set up a website to offer a glimpse into life at the fecund studio, with McDonald promising to use the site's blog to "to post details, photos and exclusives from selected sessions past and present" – xlrecordings.com/studio.
Niki & the Dove tales
There is an ever-expanding list of Scandinavians making interesting electro music. The latest to join the roster are Niki & the Dove, who last year picked up attention for some early singles including the brilliant "Mother Project". The Stockholm girl-boy duo are now signed to the Seattle label Sub Pop, and a debut album is expected later this year or early next year. On 12 June the pair release their first song on the label as a 12" single. The MP3 is also available now at nikiandthedove.com. The track is called "The Fox" and follows on from last year's template in mixing the dark gothic electro stylings of The Knife/Fever Ray, with perfect pop tones. Also available on Sub Pop's site is a remix of the single's B-side "Gentle Roar", from the Scottish producer Mylo. Visit ind.pn/kiLrhI.
All Shapes and sizes
In early April, the London-based experimental musician Mica Levi released a new album with her band Micachu and the Shapes. The LP Chopped and Screwed was a one-off collaboration between the band and the London Sinfonietta performing a composition Mica wrote, recorded live at the Kings Place venue in London last year. Accompanying the album was a mixtape reworking of it into a grime-like setting with the help of Brotha May. Last week, the mixtape was put online by Micachu's label Rough Trade at ind.pn/jw70GL.

Soybeans Fall With Corn to Four-Year Lows on Bumper CropLydia Mulvany
Soybean and corn futures extended declines to the lowest in more than four years as harvests accelerated in the U.S., the world’s top grower. Wheat rose after falling to the cheapest since 2010.
Soybean and corn harvests will climb to records this year, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said on Sept. 11. As of yesterday, farmers probably collected 11 percent of the corn crop, up from 4 percent a week earlier, and 5 percent of soybeans, according to a Bloomberg News survey. The agency will update its weekly crop progress report today.
“There’s more production than what we need, and until something changes the perception that we’re going to increase ending stocks for both U.S. and world inventories of grains, there’s not a lot of hope for new buyers to come in,” William Fordham, the president of C & S Grain Market Consulting in Ohio, Illinois, said in a telephone interview. “Eventually, those prices will create new demand, but how low is enough to create that new demand, we don’t know yet.”
Soybean futures for November delivery dropped 2 percent to close at $9.3825 a bushel on the Chicago Board of Trade. Earlier, the price touched $9.3425, the lowest for a most-active contract since July 8, 2010.
Corn futures for December delivery fell 0.4 percent to $3.3025 a bushel. The grain touched $3.2675, the lowest since June 30, 2010.
Midwest rain next week will slow the harvest briefly, and “freeze risks remain low through mid-October,” Bethesda, Maryland-based Commodity Weather Group said in a report. The weather will be mostly dry and warm, aiding field work.
Wheat futures for December delivery rose 0.5 percent to $4.7675 a bushel. The price touched $4.695, the lowest since June 30, 2010.

Common treatment methods for skin conditions include: antihistamines, steroid cream and pills, antibiotics, vitamin or steroid injections, and laser therapy which can have positive results but usually the condition returns or one has to be on long-term medication which can have a negative impact on the rest of the body.
Antihistamines and steroids will eventually disrupt your whole hormonal system, antibiotics disturb your digestive and immune system and the amelioration from injections is temporary at best.
Natruskin is specifically designed to help the skin as an organ to repair itself on a holistic level and function normally which results in the improvement of all skin conditions. It is especially useful when there is a hormonal involvement in the cause, such as acne. The skin benefits are due to the improvement in the function of the whole body and this is why it has been found to be really effective in relieving skin conditions from acne to eczema to itchy rashes.

Brocade has appointed Cisco veteran David Meyer as its new chief technology officer and chief scientist to push the firm's cloud agenda.
Meyer, who previously spent 15 years in the role of distinguished scientist at Cisco, is charged with shaping Brocade's cloud networking, advanced routing and application delivery strategy.
He will work with tier-one service providers, Web 2.0 content providers and cloud hosting providers in the role, which he took on earlier this month.
In August, Brocade's chief executive Michael Klayko announced his departure from the firm and the search for his replacement continues.
Meyer said that he hopes the firm will keep growing in what he describes as a "hotly contested" industry.
"The networking industry is undergoing an evolutionary period unlike any we have recently seen. The companies that are going to emerge victorious are those with the right combination of networking expertise, technology vision and business smarts," he said.
"With its heritage for driving continued innovation, I believe that Brocade is well positioned to achieve growth within the hotly contested service provider networking market."

I have been listening to Two Door Cinema Club’s music for years now and after the emotional turmoil of their tour selling out, I was gifted gig tickets for Christmas (shout out to my sister for saving the day and bossing present giving). It has definitely earned a place in my top three concert experiences. It wasn’t only because of Alex Trimble’s, the lead singer’s, effortlessly cool aura and enviable gold metallic shoes, which didn’t even manage to pull my attention away from the performance for too long. (I have since been searching for a similarly cool pair, however, so suggestions would be welcome).
“It’s so good to be back together,” Trimble beams. “So far, the shows have been so much fun, and we’re enjoying each other’s company…. This isn’t a contractual obligation, we’re doing it for pleasure.”
You could tell from watching the band perform, that this tour is something that they are doing for pleasure. They clearly found joy in their musical performance and all appeared more at ease with themselves and each other, after a few tumultuous years. While their popular songs from Beacon got the whole crowd singing along, their newer material from Gameshow, including ‘Are we ready? (Wreck)’ and ‘Bad Decisions’ seemed to resonate with the band after their struggles with identity and the overwhelming presence of social media and the internet in their lives. It seemed a creative risk so openly criticising the internet, something which the millennial generation that made up the bulk of their fan base clearly depends on, yet it was evident that the new musical sound was enjoyed by fans just as much as their previous material, or even more.
The staging was simple; screens positioned at the back of the set, which played varying graphics to fit with the hits the band kept reeling off, adding an unexpected exciting visual element to an auditory experience. The interludes between songs did not serve as an opportunity for the band to fill us in on ‘inside jokes’ and personal details, which I actually found refreshing. Two Door Cinema Club instead allowed their popular music to completely dominate their show, using the visual effects as a way of enhancing the listeners’ experience rather than serving as a distraction. I believe they are one of the few bands that manage to perform their songs live to a higher standard than their recorded singles; the electronic sounds of their well known songs were augmented with a heavier bass guitar in their live performance which filled the O2 Academy, pulsating through the crowd, enveloping us in a more immediate sound. The intimate O2 Academy arena enhanced the sound and supported the acoustics of the performance, making it a gig that really celebrated the hits which propelled Two Door Cinema Club through their musical career, the sound they created for themselves and the enjoyment which they have brought to such a number and variety of fans.


SNP step up action on drug dealers
The SNP Scottish Government is investing £4 million to step up the fight against drugs and organised crime in Scotland.
The money, which will be invested in the Scottish Crime and Drug Enforcement Agency follows new figures showing Scotland's police seized nearly two tonnes of illegal drugs last year worth an estimated £47 million.
Welcoming the seizures SNP Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill said;
The Scottish Crime and Drug Enforcement Agency is right on the frontline in the fight against serious organised crime. That is why this Government is committed to providing the Agency with the resources to take on these gangsters who bring misery to our communities. The seizure of more than a tonne of Class A drugs shows that they are taking strong enforcement action against those criminals who are peddling the drugs which bring most harm to our citizens.
“We are committed to spending £4 million in the next two years boosting the capacity and capability of the SCDEA. The recruitment of 80 extra staff, many with specialist expertise, will help us take on the evolving and diversifying threat from serious organised crime.
SNP MSP and Justice Committee member Stewart Maxwell gave his support to police efforts:
Today’s figures show the agency is doing an excellent job in keeping drugs out of our communities and off our streets.
“The Scottish Government’s extra investment of £4 million to support the agency to bring in more specialist staff to track the drug trade and the money being made in it shows the SNP’s determination to crack down on Scotland’s crooks and dealers and to make our communities safer.
“On top of that seizing £13 million of assets from criminals that can now be invested in our young people’s futures makes a real difference in preventing young people getting involved with drugs and crime in the first place.
“With more police on our streets and more money going into specialist agencies like the SCDEA the SNP is taking real action to make Scotland safer.”

Summary: Kris retells a Halloween horror story involving the ghost of a madman
Author's Note - This story was completed in FIVE days, a record for me!! I was inspired by my best friend, Laura, (you know who you are;) Thanks!!!
A light shone through the glass on the door. As it scanned the outline of the window, it cast an eerie glow on the floor of the darkened foyer. Voices could be heard, then the doorknob rattled as someone from the outside picked the lock.
"I thought you said you knew how to pick a lock," a voice said harshly.
"Where there's a will, there's a way." said another, as she continued to play with the knob.
"And where there's a lock..." suddenly the door opened with a soft click.
"There's a way to open it."
The heavy door swung open with a loud groan that echoed through the house.
Kristine Anderson walked confidently into the house, followed by three other, not-so-brave teenage girls.
"This...this is the place?" Amanda said nervously.
"Voilá," Kris answered in a hushed tone. "Welcome to Hell House."
"Is this really what I'm wasting this Halloween doing?" complained Edith.
"Sitting around, listening to some stupid story by 'Little Miss Freak'?"
Kris's dark brown eyes flashed with anger for half a second, then she just turned, walked to the center of the room and set to work.
"What are you doing?" asked Adrienne, who had been silent the whole time, marveling at the huge, but spooky interior of the house.
Kris had gone beneath the yellow crime scene tape that was wrapped around a section of the room and began pulling large, white candles and a silver cigarette lighter out of her backpack. Using the lighter, she lit the candles, and, one by one set them in a large circle, large enough for all four girls to sit in.
"Ok, um, are we supposed to, like, sit there?" Amanda asked.
"Yep." Kris answered, not looking up from her work.
The other three watched her in silence as she lit the last candle and set it down.
"Ladies, if you please," Kris said, standing up and gesturing to the floor inside the circle.
Amanda, Edith, and Adrienne each picked a spot and sat down, as Kris sat down in front of them, facing all three.
She pulled a wide, but shorter candle out of her backpack, set it in front of her, lit it, and then closed her eyes.
The girls were silent, as though they were afraid of angering some sort of vengeful spirit. The foyer glowed with the flickering candlelight, and it reflected on Kris's quiet face.
Edith shifted and finally got impatient. "Kris?"
"Hey FREAK!!" she said loudly, her voice echoing through the house.
Kris opened her eyes and looked at Edith with a chilling calm.
"Well," Kris responded, looking at her watch, "seeing as we are anxious to hear this, let's get started."
"Can I ask a question first?" Adrienne asked.
"What's that?" she asked, pointing to a large piece of plywood that lay on the floor about three feet away.
"You all know who my friend is, right?"
"That F.B.I. agent?" Amanda asked.
"Yeah. His name is Fox Mulder and he investigates paranormal cases. He's not looked on very affectionately by the Bureau, but if it wasn't for him, I may not be here. And I sure as hell would not have seen all I have seen."
Kris paused for a moment, thinking about what to say next.
"I've been lucky enough to have been with him on a few cases. One of which was the haunting of this, very house. It was last year, on this day, on Halloween, that we came here.
It wasn't authorized by the Bureau, and his partner didn't know about it. He figured he wouldn't try asking her to come, after another haunted house case didn't go so well.
I couldn't sleep for days after I had spent only a few hours in this house. What happened here was enough to make even the most hardened skeptic believe."
Taking a deep breath, Kris began her story.
A dark colored Ford pulled up on the gravel driveway in front of a huge, Victorian style house.
"Here it is, Kris," Mulder said, turning off the engine and stepping out of the car.
Kris got out after him and stared at the house.
"That's it?" she asked in a hushed tone.
Mulder stood at the head of the car, and with all the flourish of a circus ringmaster, put his arms out and said, "Voilá! Welcome to Hell House."
"Ok, I'll venture to ask, why is it called that, and what is the X-File here?" Kris asked, as she stood next to Mulder.
He immediately went into what Kris called 'story mode'.
"In 1910, there was a man named Timothy Logan who built a house for him and his beloved wife and only daughter. He built it near the lake, which is behind the house, by the way, because his little girl, Elisa, loved water.
Everything was perfect until about a year after they moved into the house.
Elisa was 12 when a tragedy occurred. She was at the lake, when, somehow, she fell in and drowned. Logan couldn't take it, especially since they never found the body.
He was in and out of the hospital for about 6 months, for nervous breakdowns caused by the trauma. He never really got better, in fact, he lost it completely."
"So, what happened to his wife?" Kris asked, intrigued by the story and wondering what next.
"Well, he had kind of a dinner party, he wanted all his family and friends there. They all were relieved that he looked better. It was Halloween so they thought it was in honor of Elisa, because it was her favorite holiday. When they got there, Logan locked them all in the living room, and, killed them."
"How?" Mulder was delighted that he had Kris's attention and said in a low, strained voice right into her ear,
"No one knows."
Kris looked at him in surprise. "They had to have found bodies, right? Plus, they would have found the guy."
"That's the thing, the bodies were never recovered. They disappeared. The only body the police found was of Logan himself, they assumed he killed himself after he saw what he did."
"For years after that, anyone who came to this house were never seen again, including..."
Mulder stopped a moment to think.
"Five police officers, about fifty or so curious people and maybe six priests who tried to exorcise the house."
Kris took all this in. "Ok," she said, thinking. "So this kook kills his family and friends, then kills himself, then for the next ninety years his ghost, I assume, has killed more people, all of which also I assume that their bodies were never found."
"Wow," Mulder said with mock surprise, his hazel eyes lighting up. "You're getting good at this. A few more years and I can retire."
Kris hid her face to hide the fact that she was blushing. She always blushed when Mulder looked at her that way.
"Um, well, let's get going shall we?" she stuttered as she walked toward the front door. Mulder saw her blush and smiled as he ran to catch up to her.
"Hey Kris, can you pick a lock?"
"Can I pick a lock? I am the reason that alarm systems were invented, Mulder. I can pick any lock, any where."
"Ok, pick this one." Mulder pointed to the doorknob.
"You don't have your lock pick with you?" Kris asked.
"No, I have it." Mulder replied. "I just want to make sure you brush up on your skills."
Kris pulled a Swiss army knife out of her pocket and began to play with the knob.
"You know, for an F.B.I. agent, you should be ashamed of yourself."
"Why's that?" Mulder asked.
"Contributing to the delinquency of a minor." As Kris said that, the door swung open.
"Thank you, thank you," she said, blowing kisses.
"Ok, ok, no showing off." Mulder snickered, as he walked confidently into the house, turning on his flashlight.
"Wow. This place is huge." Kris breathed. "Were do we start?"
"Were the murders started." Mulder replied.
"The living room."
Mulder pointed his flashlight around the huge foyer.
"I think that's it," he said, pointing to a door directly in front of them.
"Well, we won't know 'til we look."
They slowly began walking toward the door. As soon as Mulder got to the door, he turned the knob and it opened easily.
"At least we didn't have to pick any lock here." Mulder commented.
He stepped into the room, shining his light around. The room was beautiful, expensive paintings, elaborate furniture, and a gorgeously decorated fireplace.
"I wonder why no one has ever tried to loot this place. I mean, look at it." Kris breathed.
Suddenly, as though to answer her, a feeling of something terrible overtook them, and sent a chill through their bodies.
"There's your answer." Mulder remarked.
"It's not too late to back out, Kris. You don't have to stay, I'll be alright on my own." He assured her.
"No. I made it this far, I'm going all the way," Kris said with determination.
"What is that?" she said, hearing a strange sound.
"There it is again."
They both could hear the distinct sound of someone, singing.
"I thought you said no one was here, Mulder." Kris whispered.
The voice continued singing, and now they could tell it was the voice of a young girl.
"Elisa Logan." Mulder mouthed.
"You can't stay here. You have to go," the voice whispered.
Suddenly the voice was abruptly silenced and a loud BANG! came from behind them.
Mulder and Kris jumped and turned toward the sound.
"Oh, crap." Mulder muttered under his breath.
Kris ran to the door of the living room.
It was locked.
It wouldn't open.
They were trapped.
"Oh jeez. Mulder, now what?" Kris asked, trying to stay under control and wondering how he could still look so calm and cool.
Mulder looked around, shining his light around the room and thinking.
"Ok, you see that door over there?"
"Yeah, what about it?"
Mulder walked to it and turned the knob. It opened and he looked inside.
"Alright, good. I can go around and out to the foyer and open the door from the outside. If I can't open it, I'll come back. Ok?"
"Yyy...you're leaving me alone?" Kris was genuinely scared now.
The room was pitch black other than their lights and that horrible feeling was even worse.
"I'll be back as fast as I can, alright? I promise. There's nothing to be afraid of."
Kris gathered all her courage up.
"I'll be fine, Fox. Don't worry about me," she said strongly.
Mulder knew when she used his first name, she was trying to impress him with her maturity.
"Alright, anything happens, you see anything, call for me." Mulder stressed as he went out the door.
"I'm ok, everything is fine. He'll be back soon," Kris said to herself. "I'm fine."
Suddenly the singing began again, only much closer. Kris began to hyperventilate.
"I have to relax," she said.
"You can't stay here. You have to go."
Kris whipped around and saw a young girl standing behind her.
"Who are you?" How did you get in here?"
The girl smiled sweetly. She was very pretty, and Kris wasn't scared anymore. But the girl had a strange presence around her that Kris wondered about.
"Who are you?" Kris asked again, starting to comprehend.
"You're not supposed to be here. You have to go."
When she spoke, her voice echoed and her smile faded.
"Elisa? Elisa Logan? Is that your name?" Kris asked, taking a step closer.
The girl's eyes brightened when her name was mentioned, but then grew sad again.
"Please go. He doesn't want you here. He'll hurt you and your friend. Go."
At that, Elisa disappeared, and Kris was left alone.
Mulder searched for a way around to the foyer again.
He left Kris about five minutes ago and he still hadn't found anything. He was ready to turn back when he noticed a light coming from a door behind him.
"There it is." he whispered.
He pushed on the door and it opened into the foyer.
"All right, Kris, here I come." Mulder walked quickly toward the living room and suddenly stopped in front of it.
One of the boards he was standing on was loose and he could hear faint scuffling underneath. Mulder got down on his knees and put his head on the floor, listening.
He could hear voices, as though there were a lot of people in the basement, talking all at the same time.
Mulder stood up and was about to take a step back when.... CRASH!!! the floor gave way from under him and he fell through to the basement, knocking the wind out of him when he landed.
As he struggled to catch his breath again, he felt something amiss. He sat up and tried to focus in the darkness.
His flashlight, which lay a few feet away and was miraculously unbroken, shed a dim light on the basement around him.
Then he saw it.
All around him were the bodies.
Or, what was left of them.
Bones lay scattered around him, and several skeletons looked as though they had been dragged up against the walls.
Mulder the heard the voices again, this time they were all screaming, begging for mercy.
He was fighting to keep calm, feeling his self-control slipping from him.
I have to get out of here, he thought. I have to get Kris out of here.
Just as suddenly as the voices started, they stopped.
There was a dead silence. Mulder could hear the sound of his own heart beating at a hundred miles per hour.
Then he heard steps walking towards him. He whipped around in time to see the face of a man, then the flash of a knife going straight for his chest.
Mulder jumped out of the way, and tried desperately to grab the knife, but his attacker was much stronger.
He pushed him to the floor, then everything went black.
"What's going on?" Kris asked herself.
It was about fifteen minutes since Mulder left, and she was getting nervous.
Elisa had disappeared, and that feeling was worse than ever.
Then, she heard voices. But not Elisa's sweet voice.
Voices that were crying and screaming.
"That's it. I'm finding my way out," Kris said.
Then, from the door to the foyer, she heard a soft thump.
"Mulder, is that you? Can you open the door?"
"Mulder?" Kris went to the door and turned the knob.
The door opened, but something was holding it. Kris pushed at the door, struggling against the heavy object behind it. When she was finally able to open the door enough to slip through, her flashlight went out.
"Great. What next?" When Kris stepped out, she slipped and fell hard on something wet, her flashlight rolling out of her hands.
She turned over to look, and saw what was holding the door. A man's body was laying against the door, but she couldn't see who it was.
She sat up to look, turning the man over. Just as she did, her flashlight blinked back on and she was shocked when saw the face.
"Mulder? Mulder answer me, please." Kris begged, grabbing for her flashlight.
She realized that what she slipped on was blood, and she saw a trail of it coming from the hole in the floor, as though the body was dragged from the hole to the door.
As she searched for a pulse, Kris saw a knife embedded in Mulders chest, up to the handle.
There was no pulse. Kris's mind raced.
No, you can't be dead, you can't be. This isn't happening.
She decided there was nothing else for her to do.
She had to get out of there.
She had to survive.
Kris felt for Mulders gun, and pulled it out, taking it with her.
She might need it. Kris stood up and looked at herself.
She was covered in blood.
But she couldn't think of that now, she had to get out.
She turned to look for the front door. She ran to it, and tried to open it. It wouldn't open.
"Great. Just great." Kris muttered.
"There has to be a back door."
She ran through the house, and found the back door.
She tried that door.
"Oh, please, no."
Kris leaned her head against the door, trying to think of what she should do now.
Suddenly, she heard footsteps coming toward her. She turned to look, and her mouth fell open.
There was Mulder, bloodied and with the knife still in his chest standing there.
"No, this isn't happening. This can't be."
Kris struggled to open the door, pulling with all her strength.
"THIS ISN'T HAPPENING!!!" she turned to look at Mulder again, and saw he had pulled the knife out and was coming at her with it.
Kris remembered the gun, pulled it out, and fired at the doorknob, blowing it off.
She yanked the door open and turned one last time to look.
She barely had time to scream when Mulder bashed her in the head with the handle of the knife, sending her tumbling down the stone stairs to the ground.
Kris was dazed for a moment, then she pulled herself up and stumbled around to the car in front of the house.
She threw open the door, climbed inside, and slammed it shut.
Stopping to catch her breath, and wondering what should she do now, she looked around.
She didn't see Mulder. Where was he?
Was he waiting for her?
What had happened to him?
She had to call for help. Kris searched around franticly for Mulders cell phone, when she saw a shadow from the corner of her eye.
He followed her around and stood at the door of the back seat, were Kris had braced her legs against the window frame.
For a moment, time seemed to stand still, as they both stared at each other.
It's not Mulder, Kris thought.
Just as she thought that, the window behind her head suddenly broke, and the door was opened as she was dragged roughly out of the car. She fell to the floor, but was dragged to her feet.
"Mulder!! What happened to you?!"
Mulder stood there, holding her and panting. He had cuts on his face and hands and a deep slash to the chest. But he was alive.
"We gotta get outta here, now!!" he yelled, looking to where the other 'Mulder' had been.
When he stood up, they saw who it was.
"Timothy Logan." Kris whispered.
"Kris, come on!!" Mulder yelled, turning away to run.
Kris turned and they both came face-to-face with Logan.
He had the knife lifted, ready to strike.
Mulder covered Kris as best as he could and braced himself for the blow, when suddenly, a timid voice was heard.
Mulder and Kris looked up, and saw Logan put the knife down and turn around.
"Elisa," Kris whispered.
Sure enough there she was, standing behind her father with tears in her eyes.
"Daddy, please don't. Don't hurt them."
Logan looked as though he had been slapped in the face. He looked at the knife in his hand and dropped it as though it were red hot. He looked up at his daughter, and began to cry.
"Elisa, you're here. My baby." He stepped up to her, and Elisa threw her arms around him. Logan bent down and held his daughter, and they both disappeared. Mulder and Kris stood there, afraid to make a sound.
"It's over," Mulder said, with a bit of confusion in his voice.
"It's all over."
"So, that's it? That's what I came here for?" Edith complained.
Kris looked at her.
"You don't believe me?"
"Why should I?"
"What happened to the bodies?" Amanda asked, partly to avoid a stand-off, partly because she was curious.
"Mulder told the police the next day and they came over and cleared out the bodies. They were all identified as Logan's family and friends, and the other people were there too."
"So, it was all over?" Adrienne asked. "How?"
"That's the exact same question that Mulder racked his poor brain trying to figure out for the next five months.
Was Timothy Logan looking for his daughter all that time? Was that what caused the violent rampage that lasted ninety years? Did seeing his daughter stop him? We never figured it out.
The house is condemned now, it's going to be torn down after New Year's. No one has died since we were here, so its been safe for people to come. The stuff that was here was taken away for a museum. But people say they can still hear voices in this house, but this time, it's the sound of a little girl and her father, laughing."
"I can't believe I wasted my Halloween on this." Edith said, standing up and dusting off her jeans.
"You want proof?" Kris asked. "Come here."
Kris stood up and walked toward the plywood on the floor.
"This is the spot Mulder fell through.
The police put this here so no one would fall through again."
Kris struggled to lift the wood from the floor.
"Would anyone mind helping me, please?"
The other three came over and together they all tried to pull it up.
The plywood flew off and a man with a knife jumped up and slashed at them.
Adrienne, Edith and Amanda screamed and ran out the door, leaving Kris alone in the house.
"That was GREAT Mulder," Kris said, laughing.
Mulder stepped out of the hole with a big grin on his face.
"You didn't do too bad yourself. You made me feel as if we were living the case all over again. You're a good storyteller."
"Thank you," she said bowing.
"Ok, no showing off." Mulder chuckled.
Together, they picked up all the candles and blew them out.
Kris picked up the last candle, looked at the flame and said, "Hey, Mulder." He turned to her.
Kris blew out the candle.
I hope this story was enjoyed by all who read it!! It's my "Halloween Treat" for everyone.
