China, Brazil deal a blow to U.S. dollar-fueled bullying – Reuters
Dropping the U.S. currency in trade will diminish Washington’s ability to enforce its will
By Timur Fomenkopolitical analyst
China and Brazil have reached an agreement to trade bilaterally in their respective currencies, eliminating the US dollar as a middleman.
The agreement between the two BRICS countries, which have an annual trade of $150 billion, would likely have been signed in Beijing this week if Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva’s planned visit had not been postponed due to illness. . Around the same time, China also completed its first-ever all-yuan liquefied natural gas swap with France’s TotalEnergies.
Brazil and China’s decision to continue dollarless trade is a huge geopolitical moment and a sign that countries are looking to move away from using US currency, in direct response to Washington’s abuse of the world reserve currency for its own hegemonic purposes. . While the greenback will of course remain a leading force in global trade and economy, Americans’ ability to use it as a tool to bully and crush other countries is diminishing.
Since the end of World War II, the United States dollar has been the world’s reserve currency and a standard for international trade following the establishment of the Bretton Woods monetary management system by the United States and its allies in 1944. Global commodity prices are set in relation to the US dollar, while Washington has positioned itself as the nexus of the global financial system, where most capital is concentrated. Thus, banks borrow and lend in dollars, thus making the greenback the lifeblood of the intertwined global economy.
Having consolidated such great power over the global financial system, the United States was then able to use the dollar as an overt geopolitical weapon to impose its will on other countries, both directly and indirectly. This was done through actions or threats to cut off targeted individuals, entities and even countries at will. These measures are really effective, because being blacklisted from the US dollar can see a serious company lose everything, not just the US market. This can be so influential that third-party entities, including those not even based in the United States, may choose to avoid dealing with sanctioned entities due to the risks involved.
To be fair, such measures can serve laudable goals. For example, US sanctions can cut off funding for terrorist groups and fight organized crime, and therefore have a real security benefit. However, US sanctions in recent years have increasingly become a means of unilaterally attempting to impose US will on third countries, and with the intention of serving geopolitical ends. Washington became obsessed with sanctions and handed out thousands of them, often with the aim of isolating and completely impoverishing smaller countries, such as Syria, North Korea and Iran. Although the United States always claims that it does not sanction food or humanitarian aid deliveries to these countries, the sanctions are often so broad and sweeping that all legitimate means of doing business with the target country are shut down. .
It is not surprising, given Washington’s abuse of industry-wide sanctions as a political weapon, that there is growing resistance from other countries who increasingly see the dollar as arbitrary. and unreliable. As a result, the political momentum for alternative payment systems is building, which is seen as a sign of defending national sovereignty in an uncertain world increasingly defined by geopolitical competition. For China, a gigantic trading nation that is the subject of growing hostility from the United States, this is a rising priority as it faces a potential scenario of war for control of the world. island of Taiwan, supported by the United States.
If such a war were to break out, the United States would likely react the same way it did with Russia and attempt to blacklist thousands of Chinese US dollar companies in an effort to cripple the economy. from the country. Therefore, the development of dollar-free monetary and financial systems outside of US control is a priority, especially with like-minded countries that have a vested interest in multipolarity (i.e. roughly no anyone outside of the collective West). These are therefore not only countries designated as “adversaries” by Washington. As Indonesian President Joko Widodo told the media: “Be very careful. We must remember the sanctions imposed by the United States on Russia. He encouraged the development of national payment methods, noting “Offshore settlements and reliance on foreign payment networks such as Visa or Mastercard in the United States will no longer be necessary.”
In conclusion, the growing appeal of alternative currency and payment systems is a political reaction to the growing politicization and militarization of the US dollar as a means of controlling other countries. Additionally, the US Federal Reserve, through decisions such as interest rate hikes, can also make economic choices that benefit America at the expense of the rest of the world. As a result, many countries increasingly see the US dollar as an obstacle to their own economic sovereignty and development, and that is why countries like the BRICS are now taking action to de-dollarize their economies. Of course, the gravity of the dollar will always be strong, but the days of it being used to abuse and impoverish others are fading as multipolarity arrives.

Patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma saw improved progression-free survival when treated with tumor treating fields, pembrolizumab, and temozolomide versus historical control data.
Tumor treating fields (TTFields) plus pembrolizumab (Keytruda) and temozolomide (Temodar) for patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma showed improved median progression-free survival (PFS) versus historical control data for TTFields and temozolomide alone, according to results from the phase 2 2-THE-TOP trial (NCT03405792) presented at the Society for Neuro-Oncology (SNO) 2021 Annual Meeting.
At more than 9 months of follow-up, median PFS was 11.2 months with 24% of patients having a complete or partial response. The median follow-up was 14.7 months.
“These data show that tumor treating fields have the potential to activate the pathways needed to create an effective, anti-cancer environment in the tumor. The results published today suggest a potential paradigm shift in how we approach treatment of patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma,” Ely Benaim, MD, Novocure’s chief medical officer, said in the press release.
A total of 25 patients were enrolled who had a median age of 61 years. In both groups, there were 8 patients each (32%) who had a biopsy only and partial resection. A total of 18 patients (72%) had unmethylated MGMT and 3 (12%) patients had an IDH mutation.
Eligibility criteria included histological confirmation of grade IV glioblastoma, MGMT methylation status, and previous receipt of maximal safe resection and radiotherapy concomitant with temozolomide.
At follow-up, a total of 12 patients were progression free (48%) and 15 (60%) were still alive. Additionally, 6 patients (24%) who had measurable tumors had a partial or complete responses.
Before patients received pembrolizumab, 193,760 peripheral blood mononuclear cells were sequenced in 12 patients. In 11 patients, there was robust TTFields T-cell activation found through the T1FN trajectory and correlation with TCRαβ clonal expansion Simpson index (Spearman coefficient r = _0.8; P = .014).
The most common adverse effects were thrombosis in 4 patients (16%), seizure in 3 (12%), and metabolic disturbances in 2 (8%).
A previous phase 3 trial, EF-14 (NCT00916409), which investigated patients who had received post radiation TTFields plus temozolomide compared with temozolomide alone was used as the historical control study. Patients in this trial experienced a median PFS at 6.7 months in the TTFields plus temozolomide group vs 4.0 months in the temozolomide monotherapy group. Patients had a median overall survival of 20.9 months in the TTFields group and 16.0 months in the temozolomide monotherapy group.

Investing in real estate can be both rewarding and lucrative, but only if you know what you are doing. If you think you are suited to this type of investment opportunity but are unsure how to get started, the below ultimate guide will tell you everything you need to know.
Read on to discover:
- How to invest in rental properties
- How to make money from property development
- How to invest in property overseas
- How to invest in property funds
- Top tips for investing in real estate
Table of Contents
How to invest in rental properties
If you want to enjoy a steady income stream, you might want to consider investing in rental properties. This is a good choice for investors who want a long-term investment and don’t mind a bit of hard work.
It is worth noting that different rules apply to buy-to-let mortgages, and you need to make sure that the predicted monthly rental income is higher than the interest charged on the loan.
How to make money from property development
The notion of property development is to buy a property, give it a makeover, and then either sell it for a higher price or rent it out in return for a rental income. To be a successful property developer, you need to be adept at spotting lucrative opportunities and also at dealing with local planning authorities.
Having access to a good amount of capital and experience in the real estate industry is also beneficial. If you do not have the capital at your disposal, it can be a good idea to look into private mortgage lenders.
How to invest in property overseas
To invest in property overseas, you need to be willing to maintain a property remotely and have knowledge of the property market in your chosen country. When you invest overseas, you can expect to earn a higher rental yield compared with a buy-to-let property in the United States.
There is also the added advantage of having access to a vacation home that you can use when it is not being rented out.
How to invest in property funds
If you cannot afford to invest in bricks-and-mortar property, you might want to think about investing in property funds instead. These pool together the contributions of multiple investors to be managed by a finance professional.
You can choose to either invest in a type of investment fund that invests directly in property or the shares of property-related companies.
Top tips for investing in real estate
- Gain a solid foundation of knowledge before you invest.
- Research different funding options and loan types.
- Be aware of the risks and make sure you are fully informed and prepared for challenges.
- Plan your investment strategy carefully and make sure it aligns with your goals as an investor.
- Consider the type of property you want to invest in such as a new-build home or a refurbished property.
- Research different locations so that you can attract the right tenants and earn a high return on your investment.
- Seek financial advice so that you can factor in all the associated costs.

Makes the primary weapon burst-fire. There are 3 projectiles in each shot. It has no effect on weapons that already fire 3 shot bursts, like the ARX 160. Weapons that fire more than 3 shots per burst (Tavor) are less effective with it, because it descreases number of shots in the burst. It also decreases the amount of damage dealt to enemies by 35%. Strangely, despite the fact that it says that only the primary weapon is burst-fire, secondary weapons are also affected.
Anyway, Burst Modules are not recommended to be used on weapons with incredibly high fire rate or that are full-auto, like Machine guns and Elementals. You could use it to save ammo, but those weapons already have high ammo packs, and low DPS so it isn't worth.
Burst Module is best used on Sniper Rifles because they have low fire rate and mostly are not even semi auto...some weapons like Intervention that need to fire several shots to kill the enemy can kill them quickly, from one burst. It is also very helpful with Rail Gun and Fortune's 500.
You can also use it on Explosives to get effect similar to M202 (multiple rockets!) and GL06, to make sure your enemy does die with both grenades stuck to their body. The Burst Module is also excellent for Bam Bam, as AIs wielding Bam Bam with Burst Module attached can cause mass destruction to a crowd of enemies.
Burst Module is considered the best attachment by many people.

Marvel has opened up the Pandora’s box of the Wastelands with a series of one-shots called Wastelanders. So far, Hawkeye and Wolverine have gotten the focus, which has turned out to be good check-ins for the characters. This week, Star-Lord takes center stage, but it’s far more X-Men-focused than you might think. Rich Douek and Brent Peeples are joining forces in a spiritual journey for the hero that ends up satisfying in surprising ways.
This issue opens with Star-Lord on his way to Westchester, New York. Avid Marvel readers will remember Star-Lord was once in a romantic relationship with Kate Pryde, which Douek explores well here. We also get a reminder that Star-Lord saved many the day the heroes died. His emotional story is what gets the strongest arc in this issue, which ends up moving forward his perspective a bit.
If you’re a fan of the X-Men, be aware many of the most popular mutants show up in this story. I’ll say no more to avoid spoilers, but Peeples draws a hell of a core team with great colors by Cris Peter. This is a darker story in tone and there are some twisted visages of these characters.
The big hook of the story ends up being satisfying, too. It connects with the X-Men as well as Star-Lord, which ends up making sense for the story. The Wastelanders stories have leaned into the alternate reality aspect and the fun of not knowing who or what might show up. This issue delivers on that. The resolution comes a bit too easily, but the story is more about Star-Lord enduring a trial of familiar but very dead faces, which works.
Similar to the other Wastelanders stories, it’s difficult to understand why this book was made. It’s hard to believe there are fans who want more stories from this universe, so the buy-in isn’t clear. If you like Marvel’s What If…? or Elseworlds tales it’s a fun side adventure, but unless there are big plans for this corner of the Marvel universe it’s a story that’s well told, but not necessary.
Aside from this, the story could have taken bigger swings. What is on the page is good, but it could have used a splashier moment or a development that sent Star-Lord elsewhere in the Xavier Mansion.
It’s almost too bad Wastelanders: Star-Lord didn’t come out before Christmas since it has a Ghost of Christmas Past vibe to it. Star-Lord must encounter some old but familiar faces and must reflect on what happened. The self-discovery he goes through is a nice reminder as we close out 2021 with heavy hearts we must carry on with our lives.

Injuries to the legs are less common in snowboarding than they are in skiing. However, injuries to the knee and ankle are still account for 1/3 of injuries in snowboarding, especially in more advanced riders. Just as with injuries to the upper extremity, injuries to the knee/ankle can range in severity from a strain/sprain to torn ligaments and fractures. Injuries sustained from a fall after a jump that result in noticeable swelling and walking with a severe limp, indicate the injury is probably a more severe injury and requires medical examination. One snowboarding-specific ankle injury deserves mention here. A fracture of the lateral process of the talus (a bone of the foot/ankle) is very rare in other sports (<1% of ankle injuries), but is relatively common in snowboarding (~15% of ankle injuries) and is often called a “snowboarder’s fracture”. This can be mistaken for a severe ankle sprain, and hard to see on regular x-rays. A fracture of the lateral process of the talus necessitates medical care as it may require surgery to allow for proper healing. Therefore if you do get a “bad” ankle sprain that doesn’t seem to be healing after 1-2 weeks, it is important to go see your physician for further evaluation.

The Fremont Street Experience in Las Vegas
Las Vegas history mixed with modern technology
A lot of people weren't fans of the Fremont Street Experience when it was first installed. Basically, they took the most historic part of Las Vegas' hotel and casino history and turned it into a giant light show. Downtown Las Vegas, once home to such famed establishments like Binion's, the Horseshoe, and The Mint (where Hunter S. Thompson stayed in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas), is still there, but with the Fremont Street Experience it's not at all like it once way. A giant light canopy has been place over the whole street, making it essentially an indoor venue.
How to get there, and when to go
The best way to get to Fremont Street from The Strip is via a Deuce Bus. You can buy a 24 hour pass for less than $10, and you'll be able to get to downtown and back for a fraction of the price of a cab. If you are at an off-strip hotel you'll probably have to get a Las Vegas taxi if there isn't shuttle service to Fremont Street.
The best time to visit Fremont Street is after it gets dark, because that's when they turn the lights on. The light canopy is like a giant arched TV screen and is absolutely mesmerizing to look at. Fremont Street is also home to some of the cheapest buffets and drinks in Las Vegas, so make sure to bring an appetite. You can even walk around in the street with a drink in your hand, which is kind of an unusual experience when you come from a place with very strict laws about this.

After all, hindsight is 20-20. It would’ve been nice to go all in when Bitcoin was $600 a year ago and cash out on a high return, but that’s not how it works.

When Bitcoin forks into a new cryptocurrency… everyone gets free coins. When Bitcoin Cash was created, everyone holding BTC got 1 Cash for every BTC they had.

DO NOT CHASE FREE COINS (see next point).

Pentafund is a tokenized fund, making it extremely easy for investors to get in and out. To buy in and earn returns, all you need to do is buy some PentaCore (PENT) tokens and hold on to them.

The fund allows up to 10% of the fund’s net asset value on a quarterly basis. This is a strong guarantee of liquidity and a price floor for investors.

The term “day trading” suggests manically executing on trades every few minutes. But, as many of these mistakes show, day trading success doesn’t necessarily come for finding a new potential trade every second: you might find more success simply by taking your time, finding opportunities you’re fairly confident in, and executing a couple of trades every day or two.
You need a trading plan. You can basically consider it to be a blueprint for success. Your plan has to take everything that you can into account like entry and exit of money, risk management, time frame and even position sizing. Without a plan and too much emotion, you will be gambling instead of trading and you will never know how to improve your skills to become better.

And remember, you don’t have to buy a whole coin — you can buy fractions of coins. The top coins are expensive, so consider buying fractions of a coin to start if you don’t have a big bankroll.

To perform cryptocurrency arbitrage, you need to find an opportunity where you can buy a cryptocurrency for less than you can sell it on another exchange (minus the fees and commission). Once you’ve found one, all you need to do is simultaneously buy Bitcoin on the lower-priced exchange and sell on the higher-priced one. It’s easy to make hundreds or even thousands of dollars in just a few seconds if you have enough funds.
Arbitrage is the process of buying then immediately selling something for a profit. This is possible when there are price differences between different marketplaces. For example, buying certain DVDs at your local store for $10 only to sell them online for $20 each, doubling your money in the process. In our case, it’s buying cryptocurrency on one exchange and then immediately selling it at another. Arbitrage is based on exploiting market inefficiencies and is popular in all kinds of markets, including the stock and FOREX markets.
Limits orders allow us to place an order at a specific price. We can specify the amount of coin that we want to buy or sell, at the price that we want this to happen at. You may have noticed that the order book is always full of sell orders that are a little higher than the current price and buy orders that are a little lower. The advantage with limit orders is that we can do do the same with our orders. The disadvantage is that our transaction likely will not be filled immediately and will count on the market price to make its way towards us.
Daytraders try to utilize special short-term course fluctuations. In the crypto space, this brings them profits between one and three percent. On other values they lose money. It’s almost a zero-sum game. Allegedly, good day traders average one to two percent in profit per day. We tried it and we are evidently worse than the statistical probability.

In a brief statement on June 11, Turkish Prime Minister, Binali Yildirim, addressed controversial ride-hailing app Uber's dismissal from operating "illegally" in Turkey by saying;
“Something called Uber has emerged. The president has made a clear instruction on the matter. No one can earn undeserved money in this country. Their technology doesn’t count,”
Yildirim is also calling on traditional Taxi drivers to improve standards to assure there is never any need for companies like Uber to operate in Turkey in the future.

A study published in the Lancet Public Health has suggested that alcohol abuse addiction disorders are a major risk factor for dementia, specifically early onset dementia.
The research from the Translational Health Economics Network in France studied 57,000 people with early-onset dementia in a database of hospital admissions. The research found that 39% of these people had dementia that was directly caused by an alcohol abuse disorder and a further 18% had a diagnosis of alcohol addiction alongside that of dementia.
Dr Doug Brown, Chief Policy and Research Officer at Alzheimer’s Society, said that more research was needed to understand how much of a link there was.
“We’ve known for a while that heavy drinking can increase your risk of developing dementia. This study suggests that alcohol abuse disorders may be responsible for more cases of early-onset dementia than previously thought. But because this study only looked at hospital admissions, and was based in France, we would need further research in other healthcare settings and countries to fully understand how many cases of early-onset dementia are caused by alcohol abuse.”
He added that the study hadn’t established a causal link between moderate alcohol consumption and dementia and urged people to follow the Government’s guidelines on drinking alcohol.
“This study in no way suggests that moderate alcohol intake could cause early-onset dementia. The study doesn’t change the advice to stick to no more than 14 units of alcohol a week. Anyone concerned about heavy drinking should visit their GP to discuss ways of cutting down and the support on offer.”

It’s a Friday evening and John Cassarino is relaxing on the couch with his three dogs in his man-cave slash music room. Surrounded by shelves of records, photos and memorabilia, he’s talking with the Reader about the Blues, The Band, local music, and how, in a small way, he has tied his love of music into the work he does at the Marble Valley Regional Correctional Facility (MVRCF).
Cassarino is the coordinator of volunteer services at MVRCF. The facility offers a wide range of educational and volunteer programs, including bible study, A.A., and even a group that helps inmates to audio record stories that can be sent to their kids. There is a community high school program for anyone under 23 who doesn’t have a diploma. Last year, more than 180 volunteers provided close to 4,000 hours of service at MVRCF.
Live music is not a regular offering. It’s an occasional treat, that happens sporadically when it can be arranged by Cassarino. But when the musicians stop by, they are always well received.
“It’s not like Johnny Cash and ‘Folsum Prison Blues,’ with people dancing on the chairs and stuff,” laughs Cassarino. “The performers always comment about how respectful they are. Many come back again if they are in the area.”
Cassarino started bringing musicians into the facility back in 2002, after seeing bluesman Guy Davis perform in Woodstock, Vermont. Davis mentioned during his performance that he had played in other jails during his travels. Cassarino talked to Davis’ agent and he became the first musician to play for residents of MVRCF. Since then, there have been a number of musicians who have performed there, including locals like Duane Carleton, and traveling musicians like Eric Anderson.
To make it worth their while, Cassarino tries to set up shows out in the public, that musicians can play later in the evening. For a while, he was producing shows at the Brick Box, next to the Paramount Theatre. He’s also had musicians play at College of St. Joseph’s Tuttle Hall. This past year, he partnered with some folks who were working to revive the Rutland Coffeehouse Concert Series at the Unitarian Universalist church in Rutland.
“It works out good. Most of the performers are happy to do it,” says Cassarino. “Most of them are on their way to a bigger show in the area. We have a small budget, but if we can get them another gig, we can at least help them earn a couple extra bucks for travel or expenses.”
And it’s not just the inmates that enjoy the music. “The staff really like it too. It breaks up the monotony of the everyday stuff, so it’s good for inmates and staff morale…It relieves stress for everyone.”
Guy Davis will be returning to MVRCF on March 31 to perform prior to his show that evening at the Unitarian Universalist church in Rutland.
Cassarino says many of the musicians can relate to inmates’ struggles as well. “It’s not uncommon for the musicians to talk about challenges they’ve had.” The inmates also have a chance to ask them about their instruments, songwriting and life on the road.
“Some of the inmates have a lot of knowledge, and there are some great conversations that come up.”

If the Tesla Roadster is the sultry movie star of electric vehicles, Boulder Electric Vehicle’s delivery vans are the character actors. But for good reason. The boxy, all-electric vehicles are meant to haul loads of up to 11,000 lbs, not shuttle the well-heeled between social events or overtake Porches on the freeway.Looks like the IDEA has some competition. I agree with the CEO that fleets are the best place to start rolling out electric vehicles.
“The economics work out much better if you’re working with fleets,” Carter said. “It’s easier if you can work with someone who can buy 10 or 100 or 1,000 vehicles at a time.” With the funding, the year-old startup could manufacture a small run of about 100 vehicles by the end of 2011, the CEO said. Potential customers include delivery outfits, such as UPS and FedEx, government agencies, electric utilities, school districts and shuttle companies.
The electric vans, designed to go up to 100 miles on a single charge, will be powered by small-cell lithium-ion batteries supplied by an unnamed vendor. Carter said part of the company’s secret sauce is the lightweight-composite materials used to build the vehicle frames — less weight reduces stress on the electric drivetrain.
The Boulder, Colo.-based company estimates the vans will initially sell for about $100,000, or about $40,000 more than a conventional diesel-powered truck. But Carter claimed that even at current low fuel prices, companies will make up the difference in about six or seven years through lower fuel and maintenance costs. According to the Boulder Electric web site, the cost of operating the electric vehicles will range from 3-8 cents per mile.
If their numbers are correct, the extra $60,000 of capital required to make the vehicle electric gives a return of 14-16% (payback of 6-7 years). That seems like a good investment to me. I wish someone would start an investment fund to start going after these types of opportunities. I would love to profitably invest my money in making companies (or individuals) more energy efficient.

The Lagos State Government has directed the immediate release of 253 persons arrested by the police for criminal offences in connection with the #EndSARS protests in the state, due to non-disclosure of a prima facie case against them by the police force.
This directive was contained in a statement issued earlier on Sunday by the Office of Lagos State Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr Moyosore Onigbanjo.
The statement explained that the Nigeria Police forwarded 40 case files to the Directorate of Public Prosecution for Legal Advice, between 4th and 5th of November, 2020, in respect of the 361 persons arrested for criminal offences
The statement reads, “Legal Advice has been issued in respect of all the 40 case files received, and as at 6th November 2020, the Directorate had been able to dispatch Legal Advice in respect of 81 persons, who are being charged to the various courts, while others will be dispatched to court on Monday, 9th November 2020.’’
“Out of the 361 persons, the Director of Public Prosecutions shall be prosecuting 92 persons for different offences ranging from arson, stealing, breaking into buildings, armed robbery, and murder, while the Office has advised that 253 persons be released forthwith for non-disclosure of a prima facie case. In the meantime, two case files in respect of 16 persons have been advised for further investigation by the Police.’’
The statement also assured that the Office of the Attorney-General of Lagos State will ensure that those arrested by the Police are treated in accordance with the due process of the law, while it remains committed to maintaining the rule of law and ensuring peace and order in the State.
What you should know
It can be recalled that the #EndSARS protests against police brutality and extra-judicial killings which started peacefully, was later taken over by hoodlums and criminal elements, who engaged in widespread violence with the looting and destruction of public and private infrastructures.
The Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, had estimated that it would take the state about N1 trillion to rebuild the damaged and looted assets.

#EndSARS Sanctions: Nigeria has reached out to the UK Government – Foreign Minister
Onyeama has stated that the FG has reached out to the UK Government over the parliamentary debate on the #EndSARS protests.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr Geoffrey Onyeama, said that the Nigerian Government has reached out to the UK Government over the parliamentary debate on the #EndSARS protests.
The Minister disclosed this to Newsmen at the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting on Thursday, which was recorded by Channels TV.
He added that the UK Parliament did not speak for the UK government, and that the UK had heard the Nigerian government’s side regarding the incident at Lekki.
“On the issue of the UK parliament, yes, we have reached out to the UK government on this question. The meeting that took place was of Parliamentarians, they don’t speak for the UK government and the UK government which acts for the United Kingdom has also heard the side of the (Nigerian) government regarding everything that happened.
“So we are in touch with them and engaging with them. But, of course, as in any democracy, the Members of Parliament are able to also air their views, but what is important is that a balanced picture is made available to them all before they take any decision,” Onyeama said.
What you should know
Nairametrics reported earlier this week that the British Parliament had announced it would consider a petition by some groups and individuals, asking it to apply sanctions against the Nigerian government and officials for alleged human rights violations during the #EndSARS protest and Lekki shooting incident.
Also, the presidency earlier disclosed that the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, had a meeting with the UK Special Envoy for Humanitarian Affairs, Nick Dyer, accompanied by the UK High Commissioner to Nigeria.
#EndSARS: States affected by violence should get 1% VAT – Senate
The Nigerian Senate has urged the Federal Government to give states that were affected by lootings and destruction by hoodlums after the anti-police brutality protests, 1% of all Value Added Tax (VAT).
This motion was moved by Senators Abiodun Olujimi and Gershom Bassey on Tuesday and disclosed in a report by Channels TV.
What you should know
After the lootings and destruction by hoodlums who hijacked the #EndSARS protests, Nairametrics reported that the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, said Lagos State will need about N1 trillion for the reconstruction and repair of the properties and infrastructure that was vandalized in the process.
The Senators moving the motion declared that destruction caused in Lagos by hoodlums was valued at a range of over N1 trillion by the State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
Senator Gershom Bassey also revealed that hoodlums attacked federal properties in Calabar like the WAEC office and looted food warehouses in the state.
“Cross River State being a predominantly Civil Service State may not overcome the effects of the invasion since the destroyed state infrastructure were built from lean state resources over the years,” Bassey disclosed.
Senator Sani Musa said the lootings which started in Lagos spread to other states, leading to the destruction of properties and urged for the FG’s assistance.
“#EndSARS came as a peaceful protest, but turned violent. It started in Lagos and later spread to other states which led to the destruction of homes, businesses, and government offices. It is very unfortunate. The government needs to rebuild what was destroyed and pay compensation as well. It is their responsibility,” Musa said.

An additional 2.5 Bcf of natural gas storage in the Northwest is now under construction as custom, very fast storage dedicated to local power generation needs, NW Natural senior executives said during an earnings conference call.
While storage demonstrated a turnaround financially last year, contributing 16 cents/share to Portland, OR-based NW Natural's earnings, compared to 1 cent/share the previous year, the gas-only utility also began an exclusive storage expansion effort in conjunction with the region's major electric utility, Portland General Electric (PGE).
CEO David Anderson called the North Mist Storage Field expansion "a key growth initiative" as part of the utility's steady build up of margins and customer growth last year. Total customers increased by more than 10,000 and margins grew by more than $5 million, Anderson said.
The Northwest economy, particularly in the Portland metropolitan area, continues to be strong in both employment and housing growth, said Anderson, adding that the region's 3.3% employment growth was the highest in the nation.
In addition to the $128 million North Mist storage expansion for PGE, NW Natural also is in the midst of refurbishing and upgrading two liquefied natural gas (LNG) storage facilities in Portland and along the Pacific Coast at Newport, OR. A $25 million upgrade ongoing at Newport is slated to be finished next year, and the $10 million makeover at the Portland plant will continue through 2018, Anderson said.
Anderson called the North Mist expansion "one the most significant projects in our company's history," citing the unprecedented agreement with PGE last year. "As Oregon moves toward more renewable electricity, NW Natural will support the grid's reliability by providing innovative, no-notice storage service that can be drawn on at any time," Anderson said.
The expansion involves the creation of a new reservoir and 13-mile gas pipeline. The utility drilled the first well and began constructing the main well pad for the project in 4Q2016. This year the other wells will be completed, along with a new compressor station, according to Anderson. "Finally, in 2018 we plan to inject gas and test the facility, prior to having it in service for the winter of 2018-2019. When we place the facility in service, it will be immediately rate based on a tariff schedule already approved by the Oregon Public Utility Commission."
Anderson stressed the uniqueness of the North Mist project and its "segregated" operations for PGE. Currently, Mist is a 16-Bcf capacity underground storage facility in which 5 Bcf is dedicated to interstate services for customers such as PGE, but those are more traditional and relatively slow gas storage services.
"The new project is real-time storage with its own dedicated pipeline and a compressor station, and with it PGE will be able to follow the hydroelectric load much quicker," Anderson said. "It will act almost exactly like a pipeline with no injection or withdrawal delays whatsoever; this will be very fast storage service."
For 4Q2016, NW Natural reported net income of $28.2 million ($1/share), compared with $29.7 million ($1.08) for the same period the previous year. For all 2016, it reported net income of $58.8 million ($2.12), compared to $53.7 million ($1.96) for all of 2015.

Unlike “geek chic” owning a people carrier has never really come into fashion. It is just one of those things in life that you have to accept. When you need seating for seven and plenty of space, your only choice is some form of MPV that is about as interesting as broccoli. However, Mazda reckon that just because the day has come to surrender to the necessity of being practical, doesn’t mean giving up on enjoying driving. This 2014 Mazda 5 1.6 Sport Venture proves people movers can be a bit more appealing than many think.
In Sport Venture trim cloaked with Meteor Grey Mica paint, our Mazda 5 looked very smart in comparison to some competitors. 17 inch alloy wheels compliment the contrasting wing mirrors in a quiet manor that matches the demeanour of this specific car. Flowing body lines grace the sides of the Mazda 5 creating a fluid appearance on its surface. This car does not look as tall as many other people carriers thanks to tapered design features that carry the eye from nose to tail. Whilst clearly not as extravert in its styling as a Citroen C4 Grand Picasso, for some it will be the power of the understatement that will draw them to the Mazda 5.
The current model was introduced in 2010 and has been revised with small changes in 2013 and 2014. Its age does unfortunately show as soon as you enter the cabin. A red backlit display crowns the centre console displaying the air conditioning status and current MPG in a fashion reminiscent of an old DVD player. That said, just below, a touch screen infotainment system housing functions such as radio, Bluetooth and satellite navigation brings things a bit more up to date. The neat and tidy ethos of the exterior is carried over into the interior with uniform controls. Although there is a lot of hard plastic finding a home in the front of the Mazda 5, everything does feel durable and ideal for family life. In this Sport Venture is leather for all seven seats and a function that heats the front two. Its second row of seats allows for plenty of head and leg room meaning that comfort on long journeys isn’t a problem. Adding to said comfort is that these seats not only slide backwards and forwards, but they also recline. Foldaway trays and a deployable armrest/cup holder extend the list of creature comforts. An ace up the 5’s sleeve is its pair of sliding rear doors. They are perfect for such a machine as they allow for a larger aperture to fit children, prams and other bulky objects in as well as remove the fear of your offspring opening a door into the adjacent car. The rearmost seats are only really suitable for children as leg room is restricted, however, a larger than expected window lets in plenty of natural light. Its boot is of a good size, but it is here where some rivals get the better of this MPV.
A department where its classmates do not get the better of it is handling. Mazda have always instilled a little bit of a sporting feel to each of their models. Whilst I’m not going to say that this people carrier is anything like an MX-5, there are characteristic that will please those who enjoy driving. Responsive steering in tandem with a relatively short throw to its 6 speed manual gearbox makes for some enjoyable moments on twister roads. Pedal feel and weighting is well judged enabling more precise inputs. What really impressed me about this 2014 Mazda 5 1.6 Sport Venture is how well balanced the chassis and suspension is. There is very little in the way of body roll in faster corners but instead of making the usual trade of handling for comfort, the suspension is actually quite sympathetic to its occupants on British roads. Road, wind and engine noise are hushed around town but all three do pick up much more at motorway speeds. Visibility in the Mazda 5 is good with pleasantly thin A-pillars and a reversing camera. This 1.6 litre turbo diesel model averaged 39MPG whilst we were testing it. That isn’t bad considering the size of this car, but again, fresher competition can do better. The engine itself pulls cleanly throughout the rev range whilst producing 113BHP and 270Nm of torque.
At £22,415 for our top specification car, the 2014 Mazda 5 1.6 Sport Venture is good value for money. Bulletproof Mazda reliability and build quality are more reasons to put it on your shortlist, not to mention its pleasant driving manor. This generation might be showing its age in some areas, but has still proven to be a credible choice for the family man or women who enjoys driving with a bit of vigour.

The Four Tops were just another excellent group that legendary Motown produced. They produced hit after hit after hit. I'm a huge fan of Motown music. I really should just get the whole collection and make a playlist.
One of my favorite songs is I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch). I just love this songs and can't get enough of it. It's been a fave for awhile.
Another classic is Reach Out (I'll Be There). Check out those sharp suits!
You really can't go wrong with their music.
Here's my must have Four Tops playlist.

There is a wide range of diets for beef cattle from low intake products like the dry supplements to feedlot diets. Cattle all require a roughage source for efficient digestion to occur and our diets must be fed a roughage source such as pasture, hay or silage.
RIVERINA PASTUREPRO® MAGNESIUM MIX is a vitamin and mineral supplement for beef cattle and sheep grazing abundant lush green pastures or cereal crops particularly where hypomagnesemia or grass tetany is prevalent.
The incidence of grass tetany varies seasonally but occurs suddenly with most clinically affected animals dying. The routine yearly feeding of PASTUREPRO® MAGNESIUM MIX will help reduce the incidence of grassy tetany.
This supplement provides high levels of magnesium, calcium and other trace minerals that can be limiting in these pasture types.
This product MUST be fed with abundant pasture.
- Protein meals, vegetable oil, dicalcium phosphate, limestone, magnesium oxide, sulphur, Rumensin®, mould inhibitor, salt and Riverina ruminant vitamin & mineral premix.
- Base raw materials may gradually change seasonally.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
- THIS IS NOT A COMPLETE FEED. It is designed as a supplement to be fed to sheep and cattle on pasture.
- Pasture should be in abundant supply and sheep and cattle should have access to a reliable supply of clean water at all times.
- Feed PASTUREPRO® MAGNESIUM MIX in well drained open ended troughs.
- Troughs should initially be a minimum of 200m away from watering points.
- After several days move the troughs/drums out into the paddock and well away from the water points. This will reduce intakes and encourage stock to graze the paddocks.
- Do not allow troughs to be emptied.
- Protect feeding points from weather.
- CATTLE: 225g / head / day
- SHEEP: 25g / head / day
- Pasture quality, animal mineral status and condition will influence the level of intake.
- If intakes exceed those above contact your local Riverina representative for advice.
- Refer to “Advice and Warnings for Feeding Dry Supplements”.
|As Fed||Dry Matter|
- PASTUREPRO® MAGNESIUM MIX has a high level of magnesium to help reduce the incidence of grass tetany which is prevalent on lush pastures.
- What’s the PASTUREPRO® difference? – Read MORE.
- Manufactured to strict quality control standards for incoming raw materials and the finished product.
- Formulated in accordance with current research into cattle nutrition.
This feed contains Rumensin® which supplies monensin sodium at 290mg/kg on an ‘as fed’ basis for improved feed conversion efficiency.
Sheep – MEAT: DO NOT USE less than 24 hours before slaughter for human consumption.
Cattle – Nil

The final dusting to the poly boundary code have been completed. So now you can play with the new code. There are a few extra options now for boundary's that I will try to explain here. At this stage its about making options avalible so that others can play with setting to what works and what does not.
The first new option is the PolyBoundry. This makes it a polygon type boundary rather than a vertex based boundary object. The remaining options don't work unless PolyBoundry is true.
The next option is the calculate boundary outside poly. What this means is does a polygon effect extend out from the edges rather than the projected normal volume. In more technical terms, if we project a particle with the plane normal onto the plane that contains the polygon, do I do anything if its outside the polygon. Generally setting this to false works best. But for convex shapes there is the possibility of "leak vectors" . Setting it on mean that concave sections give too much boundary force.
The last new option is really for the case where Calculate boundary outside is set to false. Generally we will get very slow leaks over time. If we provide a constant velocity bias to the boundary conditions we help move particles that are close to leaking, back inside. But this is adding energy to the system and therefore can lead to pretty weired results. Below are some examples, but this should be small 0.01 or smaller. Always try 0 first. Even at low values that can make still fluids "boil".
There are some limitations to the current implementation. The biggest is the complete lack of friction. All current boundary's are frictionless and that can lead to bizzar results from what you might expect. Another is getting fluid boundaries to match the boundary surfaces for rendering. Currently there is no way to ensure that ray tracing a glass with water will be done correctly as far as I know. Its also not currently optimized either meaning that its slow that it needs to be. But its still faster than particle boundaries. The last limitation is the need to put the boundary triangle into all voxels that it overlaps. This means that using smaller particle sizes will increase memory requirements for the boundary objects.
So here is an example of the unstable rotation that is now, hopefully fixed.
rotator mpeg 4
This a example scene with the outside boundary's set to true.
Note the large distance between the walls and the particles.
The same thing but with outside boundary's set to false.
It now leaks, but only slowly.
Then we add just a little velocity bias (0.01).
bias fixes leak
We can really see the lack of friction here.
Getting stupid with bias (0.05).
Too much bias
Now the lack of friction is compounded with the extra energy added by the boundary.
Finally the file I have used.

While appearing on the new at-home edition of The Ellen DeGeneres Show Tuesday, the superstar opened up about how the outbreak and social distancing has impacted her big day with fiancé Alex Rodriguez. “It did affect it a little bit,” Lopez, 50, said of the pandemic. “So, we’ll see what happens now … I really don’t know what’s gonna happen now as far as dates or anything like that.” Fans have long anticipated Lopez and Rodriguez’s wedding after the couple finally got engaged during a romantic vacation in March 2019. Since then, the “Dinero” singer has kept any details about her big day tightly under wraps. “We are just kind of in a holding pattern like the rest of the world,” she added while speaking to host Ellen DeGeneres. “So, again, it’s just something we have to wait and see in a few months how this all pans out.” Ellentube Jennifer Lopez & Alex Rodriguez Workout Together Before Florida’s Stay-at-Home Order Goes Into Effect As couples across the world are forced to put their special day on hold, some have opted for virtual weddings, whether over video calls or social media. The former MLB player and Lopez have been making waves on TikTok (many fans recall their viral “Flip the Switch” challenge), and DeGeneres suggested they take their big day to the platform. “Do a TikTok wedding?” Lopez laughed. “Something to think about. We can’t make any commitments right now.” RELATED VIDEO: Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez Disagree Over Who Is the Most Romantic in TikTok Couples Game While she may have to make some changes to her big day, the “Let’s Get Loud” singer added that being forced to stay at home has been like “making lemonade out of lemons.” “The whole family is here, we are all shut down for a few weeks now,” Lopez told DeGeneres, sharing that she’s socially distancing with Rodriguez and his daughters, Natasha, 15, and Ella, 11, and her 12-year-old twins, Emme and Max. “I have to say, I’ve been so on the run for the past few years that it’s nice to be home” she added. “I had planned to take a little bit of time off after the whole Super Bowl thing and World of Dance that I just finished filming a few weeks ago, so it’s been nice so far.” However, the Hustlers star joked that in a couple of months, she would probably be ready to “jump off the edge of the roof.” Jennifer Lopez With the kids at home, Lopez says she’s been roped into helping with homework, as they are all taking online classes due to school closures. When asked by DeGeneres if she finds any of the assignments difficult the singer said, “Honestly, I think we are all kind of like ‘What is this?'” “I’m not a teacher,” she added with a laugh. “Also, have you seen the math that they make the kids do now? It’s a new math … it’s crazy. So half the time I’m like ‘Ok, yeah, let’s look up that word what does that mean?’” Difficult homework aside, the family seems to be having fun together while in isolation. In mid-March, Lopez shared an adorable video of her son Max entertaining his family on a hover-board. The 12-year-old rolled up to Rodriguez, offering him a glass of sparkling water, but made sure to do a special spin as he poured the drink into a glass. He later performed a hilarious dance on the self-balancing scooter, with his mom heard laughing in the background. “We can’t go out to any restaurants or anything but the service and entertainment here is pretty good…😊 #StaySafe #familytime,” she captioned the video.
