Who Is The Lord?
Who Is the Lord?
Afterward Moses and Aaron went in and told Pharaoh, “Thus says the Lord God of Israel: ‘Let my people go, that they may hold a feast to Me in the wilderness.'” And Pharaoh said, “Who is the Lord, that I should obey His voice to let Israel go? I do not know the Lord, nor will I let Israel go.” —Exodus 5: 1-2
Moses and Aaron came to Pharaoh with the demands of the Lord to let their people go. But he answered, “Who is the Lord that I should obey Him? I do not know the Lord, neither will I obey.” Who is the Lord? Pharaoh was about to get the answer to his question.
The Egyptians had chosen to worship the forces of nature. They made a mistake that many people make even today—worshiping and serving the creation more than the Creator. Jehovah, the only true and living God, made His demand upon Pharaoh, but Pharaoh professed ignorance of Him and an unwillingness to obey. What was God’s response? He revealed Himself to Pharaoh through the plagues He brought upon Egypt—darkness, boils, flies, and frogs, water turned to blood, death; plagues that tormented the Egyptians, but spared God’s own people.
**Who is the Lord that you should obey Him? There is no excuse for not knowing Him.
He is the God who has revealed Himself through nature, through His Word, and through His Son. He is the God over all the universe, the Creator of all things, the King of kings and the Lord of Lords, the eternal Almighty, all-powerful, loving God who invites you to know Him better today.
We thank You, Father, that we have come to know You. We want to know You even more. Please reveal yourself to us. Amen.

By Eric Elezuo
The statusquo of the much talked about minimum wage has remained blurry ever since the matter was reintroduced into national discourse in 2016. It has aroused untold suspicion, threat and attendant loggerhead between the state governors on one hand and the organised labour on the other hand.
As at date, both the organised labour and the governors, under the auspices of Nigeria’s Governors’ Forum (NGF) are yet to reach a common ground as regards the basic minimum wage for its workers. While the labour union comprising the Nigeria Labour Organisation (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) are proposing a minimum wage of N30, 000 after coming down from the initial proposal of N56, 000, the state governors are offering N22, 500, saying emphatically that there is no way they can pay the amount being proposed by labour without collapsing.
With no one force coming to terms with the other, tempers running high, threats being exchanged, there seems to be a transparent danger of total collapse of government machinery in the nearest future.
Totally committed to receiving the N30, 000, the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) dismissed the threat by the Nigerian Governors Forum (NGF) that states may have to sack workers if forced to pay N30,000 as minimum wage.
The union said the threat is not new and that workers are standing firm on the figure agreed by the tripartite negotiation team as the new national minimum wage.
The Governor of Zamfara, Abdul’aziz Yari, who is also the chairman of the NGF, had warned after a NGF meeting that N30, 000 minimum wage was impracticable, adding that should the states be made to pay, many workers will definitely lose their jobs.
He gave two options that can guarantee the proposed figure including labour sacrificing some of its members in a downsizing exercise across the country or review of the national revenue allocation formula.
In his lamentation, Yari, who acknowledged that only Lagos State can pay N30,000 as minimum wage, told workers to be considerate.
“As Nigerians, this is our country, there is no other country we have and we should be fair to this country,” the governor said.
But in their reaction, the NLC through its president, Ayuba Wabba, advised state governors to sacrifice their “huge salaries and allowances” to pay the proposed new minimum wage.
“We propose that since a few political office holders are bent on enslaving Nigerian workers with peanuts mislabeled as salaries, we urge such elected public officials to subject their humongous salaries and allowances, reputed to be among the highest in the world, pro rata with the minimum wage they want to force down the throats of Nigerian workers.
“We, therefore, urge each state governor to go to their respective states and inform workers and their families their individual position on the new national minimum wage of N30, 000,” Mr Wabba said.
Wabba said the bargaining process for a new minimum wage under the 1999 Constitution only recognises individual states and not the NGF, which is not recognised by the constitution, noting that the states had already defended their positions during negotiations at the National Minimum Wage Tripartite Negotiation Committee.
“The 1999 Nigerian Constitution (as amended) recognises individual states in the Collective Bargaining Process NOT Nigeria Governors Forum. The states, like the other social partners, have already defended their positions during negotiations at the National Minimum Wage Tripartite Negotiation Committee vis-à-vis counter proposals,” he stated.
While brandishing the weapon of strike to force the governments in various states to pay, the congress urged members to make use of the greater weapon, which is their votes, to flush out any government that is anti-workers.
”We shall continue to consolidate our efforts to strengthen already existing platforms and structures to give teeth to our resolve to vote out anti-labour governors and politicians in the forthcoming 2019 general election.
“The leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress and Organised Labour urge workers to remain steadfast and firm on our rights to decent wages and improved living conditions. To the oppressors, we have only one answer for you, we will never sleep on our rights!” he said.
Labour is standing on the fact that the N30, 000 New National Minimum Wage was a product of intense and robust negotiations at the National Minimum Wage Tripartite Negotiation Committee that lasted for one year between November 2017 and November 2018.
At the National Minimum Wage Tripartite Negotiation Committee, State governments were represented by six states, one state from each of the six geo-political zones of Nigeria. A letter was sent by the Tripartite Committee to every state to send in their memorandum as their input to the national minimum wage negotiations. It is on record that 21 States responded by sending memoranda with figures.
Subsequently, public hearings were conducted in each of the geo-political zones in the country.
While President Muhammadu Buhari, on whose table the agreement has arrived, still maintains silence on the issue, states like Rivers, have stated that it will pay whatever that was finally agreed upon.
It is still not known how most states that depend largely on allocation from Abuja will cope. Nigerians have therefore called on state governments to think out of the box and come out with better ways of enhancing their Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) so as to stop excessive dependence on the federal government allocation.
The states’ governors’ hesitation in enhancing the wages of its workforce has called to question the various proposals by the states to run states’ police. The people are wondering how they intend to equip, train and maintain their own police force should such agitation see the light of the day if they find it difficult to pay N30, 000 minimum wage.
The way it is today, labour stands on no retreat, no surrender while the governors are maintaining they cannot pay the amount. Consequently, the stage is set for the mother of all confrontations; the mother of all strikes. Who knows, there just might be a reactivation of 1945.

Interactional Aspects of Language-based Humour in Shakespeare’s Comedies: The Dynamics of Punning by Ladies-in-Waiting.
AbstractWhat makes Shakespeare a man of his time is, among other things, his infatuation with punning, understood as playful fiddling with (identical/similar) forms and (distinct) meanings of words. While heavy use of puns in his plays is very much in keeping with the spirit of the day, the phenomenon enjoying a remarkably high status in Elizabethan low- and highbrow literature and culture, Shakespeare’s brand of linguistic humour is surely one of a kind. The present study focuses on the dynamics of punning practiced by ladies-in-waiting in three Shakespearean comedies, i.e., Lucetta in The Two Gentlemen of Verona, Maria in Twelfth Night and Margaret in Much Ado About Nothing, and is designed to afford insight into intricate context-sensitive punning processes. It leads to the conclusion that even though the characters examined do not come into the category of highly prolific punsters, their playing with words is fully conscious and carefully tailored to individual contextual settings, principally to the type of interacting parties. Accordingly, rather than for ornamental purposes, punning proves to be used calculatedly as a powerful discourse management strategy aimed at asserting interactive dominance in order to mock the pretentiousness of interlocutors.

Cultural Heritage and Tourism Organization (ICHTO)
has called on those campaigning on behalf of
presidential candidates not to damage Iranian
national heritage by sticking posters and bills on
historical monuments and cultural heritage
The organization referred to articles 558, 560 and
564 of the Penal Code, and said that sticking
posters on ancient buildings which have been
registered as cultural heritage sites is
considered an offense and those found guilty will
be given sentences of one to 10 years imprisonment
in addition to paying compensation for the damage,
Gholamreza Kamyar, a lawyer for the ICHTO, said
that damaging cultural heritage sites is
punishable by law and violators will be
"If election campaign teams for presidential
candidates violate the law while campaigning for
the June 17 presidential election, ICHTO will take
legal action against them," he warned.
The organization said that removing the posters
also causes damage to ancient buildings.
"Experiences of past elections have proved
that the act of sticking posters and removing them
caused heavy damage to cultural heritage sites
since one needs water and scrapers to remove them.
Both of the means harm the surface of buildings
which are old and need maintenance," ICHTO
Meanwhile, advocates of cultural heritage called
on candidates of presidential elections to
acknowledge the magnitude of damage of sticking
posters on historical monuments and buildings and
oblige them to refrain from such actions.

A team of scientists has discovered genes that are involved in physical aging. By influencing only one of these genes, the healthy lifespan of laboratory animals is extended – and possibly that of humans, too.
Driven by the quest for eternal youth, humankind has spent centuries obsessed with the question of how it is exactly that we age. With advancements in molecular genetic methods in recent decades, the search for the genes involved in the aging process has greatly accelerated.
Until now, this was mostly limited to genes of individual model organisms such as the C. elegans nematode, which revealed that around one percent of its genes could influence life expectancy. However, researchers have long assumed that such genes arose in the course of evolution and in all living beings whose cells have a preserved a nucleus – from yeast to humans.
Combing through 40,000 genes
Researchers at ETH Zurich and the JenAge consortium from Jena have now systematically gone through the genomes of three different organisms in search of the genes associated with the aging process that are present in all three species – and thus derived from the genes of a common ancestor. Although they are found in different organisms, these so-called orthologous genes are closely related to each other, and they are all found in humans, too.
In order to detect these genes, the researchers examined around 40,000 genes in the nematode C. elegans, zebrafish, and mice. By screening them, the scientists wanted to determine which genes are regulated in an identical manner in all three organisms in each comparable aging stage – young, mature, and old; i.e. either are they up regulated or down regulated during aging.
As a measure of gene activity, the researchers measured the amount of messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules found in the cells of these animals. mRNA is the transcript of a gene and the blueprint of a protein. When there are many copies of an mRNA of a specific gene, it is very active; the gene is upregulated. Fewer mRNA copies, on the contrary, are regarded as a sign of low activity, explains Professor Michael Ristow, coordinating author of the recently published study and Professor of Energy Metabolism at ETH Zurich.
Out of this volume of information, the researchers used statistical models to establish an intersection of genes that were regulated in the same manner in the worms, fish, and mice. This showed that the three organisms have only 30 genes in common that significantly influence the aging process.
Reduce gene activity, live longer
By conducting experiments in which the mRNA of the corresponding genes were selectively blocked, the researchers pinpointed their effect on the aging process in nematodes. With a dozen of these genes, blocking them extended the lifespan by at least five percent.
One of these genes proved to be particularly influential: the bcat-1 gene. “When we blocked the effect of this gene, it significantly extended the mean lifespan of the nematode by up to 25 percent,” says Ristow.
The researchers were also able to explain how this gene works: the bcat-1 gene carries the code for the enzyme of the same name, which degrades so-called branched-chain amino acids. Naturally occurring in food protein building blocks, these include the amino acids L-leucine, L-isoleucine, and L-valine.
When the researchers inhibited the gene activity of bcat-1, the branched-chain amino acids accumulated in the tissue, triggering a molecular signaling cascade that increased longevity in the nematodes. Moreover, the timespan during which the worms remained healthy was extended. As a measure of vitality, the researchers measured the accumulation of ageing pigments, the speed at which the creatures moved, and how often the nematodes successfully reproduced. All of these parameters improved when the scientists inhibited the activity of the bcat-1 gene.
The scientists also achieved a life-extending effect when they mixed the three branched-chain amino acids into the nematodes’ food. However, the effect was generally less pronounced because the bcat-1 gene was still active, which meant that the amino acids continued to be degraded and their life-extending effects could not develop as effectively.
Ristow has no doubt that the same mechanism occurs in humans. “We looked only for the genes that are conserved in evolution and therefore exist in all organisms, including humans,” he says.
In the present study, he and his Jena colleagues from the Leibniz Institute on Aging, the Leibniz Institute for Natural Product Research and Infection Biology, the Jena University Hospital, and the Friedrich Schiller University purposefully opted not to study the impact on humans. But a follow-up study is already being planned. “However we cannot measure the life expectancy of humans for obvious reasons,” says the ETH professor. Instead, the researchers plan to incorporate various health parameters such as cholesterol or blood sugar levels in their study to obtain indicators on the health status of their subjects.
Health costs could be massively reduced
Ristow says that the multiple branched-chain amino acids are already being used to treat liver damage and are also added to sport nutrition products. “However, the point is not for people to grow even older, but rather to stay healthy for longer,” says the internist. The study will deliver important indicators on how the ageing process could be influenced and how age-related diseases such as diabetes or high blood pressure could be prevented. In light of unfavorable demographics and steadily increasing life expectancy, it is important to extend the healthy life phase and not to reach an even higher age that is characterized by chronic diseases, argue the researchers. With such preventive measures, an elderly person could greatly improve their quality of life while at the same time cutting their healthcare costs by more than half.

Briton Holly Bradshaw on Thursday won the women's pole vault at the Zurich Diamond League, held a day ahead of the main meet in the Swiss city's central train station.
As commuters hurried home on a balmy evening, Bradshaw, who up until last year competed under her maiden name of Bleasdale, won after clearing 4.76 metres after the top three all failed to clear 4.81m.
American Sandi Morris, the silver medallist at the Rio Games, was second, while Greece's Olympic and European champion Katerina Stefanidi had to be content with third on countback.
The main programme of track and field events will be held on Thursday at the Letzigrund Stadium, far from the bizarre setting of the main hall of Zurich station, where the runway was raised to the landing mat, lined on one side by a temporary scaffolded seating area with standing room on the other side and at the far end of the mat.

The Philippine National Police (PNP) has sent seven vaccination teams composed of 70 police medical personnel to assist the government in its three-day coronavirus disease (COVID-19) vaccination drive starting Monday, Nov. 29.
PNP chief Gen. Dionardo Carlos said the 70 personnel are from the PNP Health Service and the Medical Reserve Force (MRF) who underwent enough training and with experience in COVID vaccination.
“These MRF personnel where pulled out from their duty station at the RT-PCR swabbing facility in the MOA (Mall of Asia) complex in Pasay City for redeployment to assist in vaccination operations,” said Carlos.
He said one team composed of 10 PNP medical personnel will be deployed to the Regional Medical and Dental Unit of Police Regional Office-3 in Camp Olivas, Pampanga while another 10-man team will report to the Camp Vicente Lim in Calamba City.
Forty more MRF personnel comprising four teams will report to the QCPD Quezon City Police District Headquarters at Camp Karingal, Quezon City for further deployment to barangays in Quezon City.
Carlos said that a total of 5,530 PNP Medical Reserve Force personnel, 347 of whom are trained vaccinators, are on stand-by and waiting for on-call deployment in case the Department of Health needs more vaccination team personnel.
Also on standby for rapid deployment, according to Carlos, are ten Medical Reserve Force personnel in Camp Crame and 18 trained vaccinators at the Regional Medical-Dental Unit of NCRPO.
“The PNP is fully supportive of this national vaccination drive as the most potent response to the COVID-19 health crisis,” said Carlos.
“Now that the vaccine is available, we should seize the opportunity to inoculate as much of the target population to reach herd immunity. Then we may have mitigated the health crisis or at least put up a shield of protection,” he added.

|NFC News New Krist Novoselic interview by Kurt Danielson (TAD)|
An excerpt from the article: "As a tribute to Nirvana, Flipper has been playing a cover of Scentless Apprentice, which is off of In Utero, Nirvana's last non-compilation studio recording. It's a bit strange for Krist to be playing a cover of a song for which he wrote the bass-line, but it's not strange to be playing in Flipper, a band which embraces the kind of cathartic punk ethos that originally heavily influenced both Krist and Nirvana front man Kurt Cobain as well as the Nirvana sound in general."

If you are looking for somewhere to stay thats basic, no fuss, what you see is what you get but with professional friendly staff then the Holiday Inn is the place to try. Out of the busy CBD but still walking distance (about 5.6Kms) Parking is a reasonable price. My only negative comments would be that there is no fan in the bathrooms so the mirror stays foggy which is frustration if you are trying to get ready to go out, and the thermostat on the heater/A/C doesnt seem to be right. 25 deg was quite cold. Breakfast was nice although the bacon is dry and fatty. Apart from that, I enjoyed my stay

Stop in the name of safety! Our technicians are trained to perform 1994 GMC K1500 Suburban brake checks, services, and repairs. Schedule your appointment.
It’s best to get a brake check before your GMC K1500 Suburban shows signs of brake troubles. We make it easy by providing free brake checks to all of our customers so that we can help stop problems before they start. You can ask for a free brake check at any time. Schedule one on its own or request a brake check during a regular service, like a tire repair or an oil change. If life has gotten in the way of everyday car care, keep the following brake information in mind.
Signs of brake problems include weird noises, pulsation or vibration in the steering wheel or pedal, a burning smell near your tires, an illuminated brake dashboard light, or the feeling that something is "off." You know your GMC K1500 Suburban better than anyone else. Turn to our technicians to help keep your brakes at peak performance! In general, manufacturers like GMC advise that at a minimum, front and rear brakes are removed and serviced at least once every 12,000 miles or 12 months. That also includes checking the e-brake. Brake service and/or repair should be performed as necessary. Want to keep your brakes ready for anything? Stop at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for a quick inspection. Most of our locations are open seven days a week and in the evening for free brake checks. Our expert technicians are happy to examine your 1994 GMC K1500 Suburban brakes, brake pads, and other braking components. Preventative brake care can help keep you safe on the road.
When should you change the brake pads on your 1994 GMC K1500 Suburban? It largely depends on where and how you drive. In general, brake pads last from 30,000 to 40,000 miles. Factors like frequent highway driving and smooth braking can help your brake pads last longer. Alternatively, riding the brakes and hauling heavy loads can shorten their useful life. How often you need to replace your brake pads also depends on what kind you have on your K1500 Suburban. Not all brake pads are created equally. Some materials last longer. Luckily, Firestone Complete Auto Care offers GMC K1500 Suburban brake pad replacements, coupons on brake services, and a limited Lifetime Parts Warranty on brake pads. Brake checks and brake pad replacements are pretty common for us, and we only use brake parts that meet or exceed GMC's standards.
You might have a strong and reliable engine in your GMC K1500 Suburban. One that’s strong enough to take you into high mileage territory. [content-1-text-4-2] One that can outlast the 170,000-mile mark. But if you can’t stop it, it’s as good as scrap metal. If you’re experiencing squeaky brakes or a loss of braking power, don’t wait! Safe driving and responsive brakes go hand in hand. Plus, waiting can lead to more expensive parts wearing out and requiring replacement. For example, rotors start to warp and become damaged when completely worn brake pads exceed their lifespan, and the metal-to-metal grinding may compromise other healthy parts. Our technicians work to prevent more brake damage. Get your 1994 GMC K1500 Suburban brakes fixed at Firestone Complete Auto Care. Our brake repair services include brake pad/shoe removal and replacement, brake rotor/drum refinishing, brake fluid exchange, and brake caliper and wheel cylinder installation. Schedule a brake service and repair appointment for your GMC K1500 Suburban.
Let's keep your GMC K1500 Suburban on the road. Our team is here to help make sure your vehicle works, day after day. Choose one of the services below and make an appointment for 1994 GMC K1500 Suburban repairs.


The short answer to the question asked in this article’s title is a distinct “No,” and here’s why. Earlier this month, the hashtag ‘chipgate’ blew up on Twitter after a Reddit user discovered some mischief under the pretty screens of the all-new Apple iPhone 6s and 6s Plus. This new term is actually the second ‘gate’ scandal for Apple, the first being ‘bendgate’ after the iPhone 6 had been found to bend in user’s pockets. Although the new 6s and 6s Plus now no longer bend, a new issue has surfaced and has more people in a panic, mostly because it affects the performance of the phone — something that can’t be remedied by the user. This troubling issue is over the fact that is has been discovered that there are two different A9 chips in the 6s and 6s Plus.
With no solid reasoning apart from volume by demand, both Samsung and TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Ltd.) make these chips for Apple’s iPhone — yes you read that correctly, Samsung, a direct competitor of Apple, manufactures its new CPU. After all, Apple is not a manufacturing company. The problem regarding these two chips is that they perform differently.
Using the application Geekbench, users have stress-tested these different CPUs to discover if either one affects battery-life and processing speed. The performance difference between the TSMC and Samsung chips were almost nil, while the battery life of the iPhone containing the TSMC chip was twenty-percent better than the iPhone with the Samsung chip. There is also a size difference between these two chips; the TSMC uses a 16 nanometer die and is 104.5 millimeters in length, while the Samsung chip uses a 14 nanometer die and is 96 millimeters in length. However, this doesn’t upset users quite as much.
So how does this affect you, the iPhone owner? Well, coming full circle — it doesn’t. The Geekbench stress-test is actually an egregiously inaccurate simulation of ‘real-world-use’ and produces results which fit a worst case scenario class of results. The stress test puts the phone at 100% (or close) usage which is never achieved when used normally (ie. web browsing, emailing, or multi-tasking). This means that the difference in battery life when performing in real-world cases is only around 2-3%, which will most likely go unnoticed by the user. If you are concerned about that two percent, make sure you bring a lightning cable for charging.
Interested in knowing if you have either the Samsung or TSMC chip in your phone? Download and install a free application called Lirium. Happy Inspection!!

Getting adequate rest is something millions of American adults and children struggle with each year. For some, early wakefulness is a problem; others simply can’t get to sleep and lie awake for hours. Still, others sleep for the required amount of time but wake up feeling exhausted. Lack of sleep can wreak terrible havoc on the body and mind, leaving us feeling irritable and out of sorts; it can affect the memory and our ability to function well during the day. These far-reaching consequences can also affect our jobs and our relationships with the people we love.
This is why it’s important to make sure you’re getting enough good sleep — that is, REM sleep, where you reach a deep dream state — every night. Whether you’re a teen or a senior, good rest is something that isn’t negotiable, but it’s not always easy to find a good balance. Staying up too late, waking up too early, and having distractions (such as smartphones and other devices) in your bedroom are all things that can affect your ability to sleep well.
Keep reading for some great tips on how you can get better rest.
Create a Routine
Routines aren’t just great for kids; they can be an essential part of anyone’s day and help things go more smoothly, from getting to work on time to waking up feeling rested. A good sleep routine might include relaxing before bed with a hot shower, laying out clothing and other necessities for the next day, and putting away all device at least an hour beforehand. These actions can help reduce stress and anxiety and leave you feeling relaxed and ready to rest.
Make Your Room the Perfect Place to Sleep
Your bedroom should be as comfortable as possible, so make it a haven. Use soft bedding, blackout curtains, and dim lighting to create a relaxed atmosphere, and make sure you choose neutral or calming colors for paint and decor. If your bedroom is a high-energy color — such as red or yellow — it could be keeping you awake at night. Go for greens and blues, and save the bright colors for the kitchen area so you can wake up in the morning. For more information about how color affects your sleep habits, read on here.
A lack of organization doesn’t just affect your daily life; it affects your children, as well. A good way to help everyone in your family sleep better is to declutter, find storage solutions for every room in the house, and make mornings easy-breezy. You might have everyone lay out their clothes, shoes, and backpacks for the following day by setting up an area near the door for each child’s belongings; this will help cut down on the chaos that school mornings can bring and will reduce stress for everyone, which can, in turn, help sleep come easier.
Don’t Let the Weekends Fool You
Sleeping in on the weekends can be a lovely luxury, but it can also hinder your ability to sleep during the first part of the week, which is when you need your energy. The same is true for your little ones, so be careful about letting them stay up too late on their days off. Once you get off your schedule and sleep late, you’ll start staying up later at night, which will leave you groggy and irritable come Monday morning. When the kids have spring, summer, and fall breaks, make sure they get back to their normal routine a day or two before they actually go back to school.
Finding good sleep doesn’t have to be stressful. Start by creating a good routine that the entire family can stick to, and remember that your diet and exercise routine can affect your ability get rest, as well. With a little careful planning, you and your loved ones can rest easy all year long.

Former Spice Girl Mel B might be from the U.K., but she certainly knows how to spot talent in the U.S. The “America’s Got Talent” judge has been on the NBC panel for four years now, and last week reunited on screen with her former “X Factor” co-star Simon Cowell!
Mel B and Cowell were co-judges on the U.K. singing competition show during Season 11 in 2014. However, a casting shake-up resulted in the singer getting the boot from the table. But now that the “America’s Got Talent” show creator is on the judges panel this season, the two are back together again.
“I’ve known him for years and years and years,” Mel B told International Business Times during a press call Monday. “It’s like working with my best friend. He’s great.”
Although Howie Mandel and Heidi Klum help make up the “AGT” Season 11 panel, it’s Cowell’s “honest opinions” and knack for “spotting talent” that Mel B appreciates.
“He created this show 11 years ago and it spread all over the world, this format,” she added. “He knows how to make good TV. It’s nice to be sitting on the desk with somebody with all his experience.”
There is no denying that Cowell has the years of experience behind him. But now he’s also got a bit of charm. Gone are the brutal critiques from his days on “American Idol.”
Last week he revealed that his 2-year-old son, Eric, has made him softer when addressing contestants. And “AGT” viewers got to witness that softer side when he shared a sweet interaction with Nathan Bockstahler, a 6-year-old comedian. The young contestant received the OK from all four judges, pushing him to the next round of the competition.
“It definitely helps because you know how to handle a kid,” Mel B explained to IBT of how motherhood affects her judging. “I have three daughters, from 4 to 17 years old, so I know how frightening it is for kids to get up there. But at the end of the day you just want to be constructive in your opinions. And hopefully with the kids, whether they get through or not, it’s part of their life lesson, part of their learning experience. So, hopefully they can leave with something positive.”
“America’s Got Talent” Season 11 airs on NBC Tuesdays at 8 p.m. EDT.

Updated my PC to Windows XP SP2 today. Kept getting the blue screen of death pointing to a software/hardware failure. I removed my Hauppauge WinTV Nova-T PCI card and still BSOD keeps haunting me. Damn it!
Finally using common sense, I removed all my USB & Firewire devices and plugged in a spare trillion year old PS2 mouse, defaulted my AMD processor to spec'ed clock speed, reboot to Safe Mode and started the installation. Finally after almost one hour its done.
Thank you God whoever you are.
I have yet to encounter a software that was crippled by the update. Most of the programs are video editing and encoding programs.

Evanescence Members: Amy Lee (vocals, piano), John LeCompt (guitar), Terry Balsamo (guitar), Will Boyd (bass) and Rocky Gray (drums). Co-founders Ben Moody (ex-guitarist) and Amy Lee (vocals) met at a camp in 1994, where they began working together on music. Before choosing Evanescence, the band went by several short-lived names, including "Stricken" and "Childish Intentions". Prior to Ben Moody's exit in 2003, he and Amy Lee would write alone and then put their song ideas together. Only one song that was written by both of them physically in the same room was ever recorded. The track was called "Catherine", and was scrapped from the album "Origin" before its release in 2000.
Most of the songs on the 2003 release of Fallen were written from 2001-2002. Some tracks are from even earlier writing sessions, the oldest being My Immortal, whose first recording was made in 1997. When guitarist Terry Balsamo entered in 2004, his new band members referred to him as "Banana Baggins" or "T Baggins". Against the band's wishes, three songs were removed from the final Fallen track listing before its release. Two of these tracks ("Missing" and "Farther Away" are available as B-sides and bonus cuts to import singles and albums, while "Breathe No More" is availible on the soundtrack to the movie "Elektra".
The band was told that adding a rapper permanently to the line-up was their only chance at finding success. Their first concert was in December of 1998. Debut album Fallen is 6x platinum.

Inspired by the River Thames
Many of us have grown up with the intricate, almost geometric patterns of the celebrated British textile designer William Morris.
However, many of us will be unaware of the visceral influence on his work exerted by the River Thames.
A new exhibition at Henley's River and Rowing Museum explores the significant influence of our river, and its tributaries on one of Britain's most important textile designers.
The exhibition is supported by the V&A, the British Library and Kelmscott Manor.
An Earthly Paradise: William Morris & The Thames features original printed textiles and sketches by the 19th century's most celebrated designer and casts new light on Morris's lifelong passion for the river.
The exhibition tells this story for the very first time and explores how a lifetime spent boating and fishing infused Morris's designs, inspired his poetry, fuelled his manufacturing, and filled his leisure time.
From 1879 the river even connected his two homes: Kelmscott House in London and Kelmscott Manor, upstream in rural Oxfordshire.
Morris's instantly recognisable textile designs including Wandle and Windrush are inspired directly from his days exploring and fishing in the upper reaches.
Passages from his celebrated 1867 epic poem The Earthly Paradise are directly drawn from pleasurable afternoons spent on the river.
“The River & Rowing Museum brings the River Thames to life – a window on its cultural, social and natural history. As one of our most celebrated designers, it's fascinating to understand how the river flowed through William Morris's work, inspiring his creative practice and core beliefs, based on his lifelong love of angling,” said Dr Sarah Posey, Director of the RRM.
"His designs are instantly recognised around the world as quintessentially British. This one-of-a-kind exhibition explores what shaped his vision.”
The exhibition, in an intimate gallery, fills the visitor's vision with Morris's stunning designs, as fresh and bright as new. However, it also traces the history of his work including artifacts such as his socialist utopia novel, News from Nowhere, bound in vellum and signed by William Morris to his daughter May Therese.
There is a mocked-up room with his distinctive designs on the wallpaper, curtains and chair seat, and this encourages visiting children to become involved in Morris's world.
Some of the intricately carved woodenprinting blocks are also on display along with fascinating explanations of how Morris achieved his glorious patterns, and the influence of natural dyes and colours on his creations. The exhibition is a fascinating insight into why those so familiar patterns and prints are named after our local rivers such as The Evenlode, Windrush, Kennett and Loddon.

To identify the critical components or sets of components in a system, various importance measures have been proposed with different probabilistic perspectives and applications. Many of these importance measures are actually related to each other in some ways. This paper summarizes the importance measures in reliability, and presents relations and comparisons among them, focusing on their interrelations to the B-importance, the dominant relations among them, the dual relations, their performances in typical systems, and their computations. The early versions of the importance measures are for binary coherent systems, while the recent research is not limited to this type of system. This paper investigates the extensions of importance measures in noncoherent systems, multistate systems, continuum systems, and repairable systems.

There are many options to cruising South America, and there is no better way to explore this vast continent than on a cruise vacation.
Located in the midst of mountains and water, Seattle's scenery is truly a sight to see. Along with the alluring appearance of Seattle it also entails plenty of entertainment and attractions. If you're a sports fanatic, Seattle offers games by the Seattle Seahawks, Sonics, Angels or the Rainier's. If you acquire more of an artsy taste, Seattle also provides museums such as the Bellevue Art Museum, Frye Art Museum, Seattle Art Museum, Seattle Asian Art Museum, and the Henry Art Gallery. For those of you who are more into Science and History, you'll be more interested in the Burke Museum, Museum of Flight, Museum of History and Industry, Pacific Science Center, Seattle Aquarium, etc. No matter what your preference includes, Seattle accommodates all.
In Vancouver, you're never out of sight of towering peaks--or of the sea. It is a prosperous city adorned with flowers lining the streets and lush greenery like Stanley Park. Museums offer fine collections of the dramatic Northwest native arts. Vancouver's Chinatown is the second-largest in the world. The waterfront Gastown district recalls the city's colorful past as a premier Pacific port since the days of the Clipper ships.
Prim and proper, neat and clean, friendly little Victoria island is like a breath of fresh air. Its British heritage is apparent in the double-decker buses, the Royal British Columbia Museum and High Tea at the Empress Hotel. Go out to the renowned Butchart Gardens, where sunken floral beds reflect international themes.
Sailing under the Golden Gate Bridge and into San Francisco's broad bay will surely be a highlight of your cruising life. Once docked along the Embarcadero, you're just a short walk from Fisherman's Wharf, Chinatown, North Beach and other attractions that make this one of the world's favorite cities. The scenic Napa Valley wine country is nearby, too.
California's Monterey is located on in the Midwestern coast of the state in Monterey County. The original inhabitants were the Native Americans of the Esselen, Ohlone, and Salinan tribe then thereafter the Europeans arrived. Back in 1542, Monterey Bay's first discoverer was European Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo who declared it to be Spain's. Monterey's name was derived after Count of Monte Rey (viceroy of New Spain) by Sabastian Vizcaino who was the first it set foot in Monterey in December of 1602. The city was founded back in 1770 and later incorporated n 1850.
California's Santa Barbara is located in the southwestern region of the state in Santa Barbara County. The city of Santa Barbara is the largest city in Santa Barbara County. One of Santa Barbara's best assets would be its beaches. One of the recommended beaches would be the West Beach which is located right in between the wharf and the marina and is perfect for a relaxing day at the beach. Another recommended beach would be the Leadbetter Beach which is well known for family activities and swimming and is provides the ideal picnic experience.
Blessed with a sunny climate and a fine natural harbor, San Diego has grown from a Spanish mission into a thriving town. With two universities, a world-class zoo and safari park, the famous Hotel Del Coronado and the museums and attractions of Balboa Park, it's well worth exploring.
Sail past Los Arcos, the soaring rock archway at the extreme southern tip of Baja California that guards Cabo's perfect harbor. This idyllic bay once sheltered treasure ships from the Orient, and pirate brigs bent on those treasures. Now Cabo caters to an international vacation set, and has a strong artistic tradition famous for its black-coral jewelry.
The entire community is, in essence, a beach, so you will never be far from the sparkling sea and the warm, shimmering sand.There are a couple of outstanding restaurants in the vicinity, and the shopping here is limited but still enjoyable.The Museo de Artesanias Oxaquenas is an extraordinary museum where you can watch artistic geniuses at work.
...The port of Manta is the busiest fishing port on earth.The Museo del Banco Central is a fantastic museum ...Manta's beaches are spacious as well as beautiful, and are home to a wide array of wildlife.There are a few truly great restaurants in Manta, and the nightlife is fantastic.
This is the port for Trujillo, the "Lordly City," whose elegant mansions and churches reflect the aristocracy of the Spanish colonial era. Here you may opt for a thrilling excursion to Chan-Chan, an immense and magnificent enclave that since A.D. 1300 has been the center of the sophisticated Chim culture.
Callao is your port of entry to the glittering, elegant city of Lima, the darling of Peru. Founded by Pizarro and the Conquistadors, the capital city today offers priceless collections ranging from the Museum of Gold to the Museum of Anthropology and Archeology. Pizarro's remains can be found in the Cathedral, built in 1746. From Lima, you can also take a tour to Machu Picchu, the mysterious lost city of the Incas high in the Andes, or to Cuzco, the capital of the Incan Empire.
Guayaquil is a port for Quito, the beautiful capital of Ecuador. As you stroll the cobbled streets of the city called "Queen of the Andes," rich legacies of art, history and magnificent Spanish colonial architecture surround you. Or, experience the natural Eden of the fabled Galapagos, Darwin's living laboratory, on a special land tour.
Puerto Quetzal has become the destination of choice for historians interested in looking at ancient Mayan ruins. The ancient city of Tikal is nearby, and its ruins are remarkably well preserved. Once you've seen the ruins, take it easy along Guatemala's Pacific shore. The beaches here attract Guatemalans from all over the country.
Hollywood discovered this little fishing village back in the 1960's, and since then luxury resorts and bougainvillea-covered villas have flourished in the delightful seaside climate. Yet hints of past tranquility remain: cobbled courtyards where the locals hold their markets, and superb sport-fishing just offshore.

Another View: Lamontagne’s values are not consistent with New Hampshire’s
I may be only a third-generation native, but I know this: Ovide is not the New Hampshire of most Granite Staters. Nor will he leave his party affiliation at the door. Look at his record.
Let's start with the idea he will not be partisan. Ovide is the most partisan Republican gubernatorial nominee in years. I know from personal experience.
When I was the New Hampshire Democratic Party chair, we were involved in a law suit against the state Republicans for jamming our phone lines. Ovide was the attorney who defended the state GOP. His disdain for Democrats was palpable. He continually referred to the 'New Hampshire Democrat Party' in hearings and in pleadings. Finally, when our attorney objected, the judge told Ovide to knock it off.
I'm not saying Ovide is a bad guy; he isn't. However, he is from that wing of the Republican Party that can't even bring itself to use the actual name of the opposition party. A fellow who can't bring himself to say 'Democratic Party' without being told to does not have the capacity to leave his party affiliation at the door.
Look at how he talks about Gov. John Lynch. Gov. Lynch really has governed in a nonpartisan manner, appointing both Democrats and Republicans to be judges and department heads, and even endorsing at least one Republican for electoral office over a Democrat. Ovide says he will be a radically different governor from John Lynch. I believe he means it; and I believe he will be a radically partisan governor.
Ovide is not New Hampshire, as his positions not only put him outside the mainstream of our state, but also place him in the most extreme elements of the new Republican Party. This wing of the Republican Party believes the government established by our forefathers is, well, dangerous. In a recent debate he said, 'Every tax, every fee, every time government takes money from you, they are taking away some freedom and liberty from us.'
No, Ovide, actually those taxes, which in New Hampshire are among the lowest in the country, pay for children to go to be educated. An educated population is critical to a free society and an economically viable society. Those taxes pay for the military, police and first responders who keep our country, our state, and our people safe and secure. Those taxes also pay for the infrastructure which provides the air, rail and highway routes that are necessary for our commerce to prosper. Paying for the common good is not taking away liberty or freedom. It is paying the bill for the liberty, freedom, equality and opportunity we all share in our state and our country.
But Ovide does not agree. His ideological positions are far outside the mainstream that he thinks school districts should be able to abolish kindergartens. He wants to put Bill O'Brien and the Legislature in charge of Medicare in New Hampshire, subjecting seniors to the whims of the budget cycle every two years. He would force women who have been the victims of the ugliest of crimes to bear the children of their attackers. He would repeal marriage equality.
On some of these issues, Ovide's response is that 'social issues' aren't important, that this election should be about the economy. That is what Ovide's wing of the Republican Party told us in 2010. The next thing we knew we were arguing over birth control and whether Barack Obama was born in Kenya, Egypt or Hawaii.
Ovide's economic positions aren't terrific, either. In a debate he said he wants a new economic plan to be done before proceeding further with our 10 year highway plan - a plan already based on studying and prioritizing the state's infrastructure needs. When it was pointed out that a new study would delay the 93 widening project, he backtracked, but it showed that he did not have enough familiarity with the process. On commuter rail, he wants to study extending it to Nashua, ignoring the major positive impact it would have on the rest of the state if extended. The only expanded legalized gambling proposal he would consider is Rockingham Park, rather than an open, competitive bid process that would provide a better return for the state.
This is the same Ovide Lamontagne who was too extreme for New Hampshire in 1996, when he lost the governor's race to Jeanne Shaheen. This is the same Ovide Lamontagne who recently called himself the Tea Party favorite. He is not New Hampshire.
Kathy Sullivan is a Manchester attorney and member of the Democratic National Committee. She was chairman of the New Hampshire Democratic Party from 1999-2007.

Like the 76 per cent of [polled] Canadians who want governments to do more to mitigate climate change (Ipsos poll, Dec. 2019), I am celebrating the Canadian government’s new legally binding climate action targets. The majority of Canadians believe climate warming is largely man-made, and know that meaningful government action is essential.
However, Canada has missed every climate action target to date. This must not happen again.
Science tells us that the next 10 years is critical if we are to have a hope of keeping global heating below 2⁰C (and hence avoiding irreversible tipping points of accelerating heating feedbacks). For that reason, to make sure we are on target, we should set goals within that 10 year period. Along with organizations such as Ecojustice and the David Suzuki Foundation, I urge the government to establish a legally binding target five years hence, for 2025, and for every five years thereafter. This would allow timely adjustments to make the critical 2030 and 2050 targets a reality.
I also urge the federal government to review its many incentive programs including the $200 million Energy Savings Rebate Program which closed last year as ‘funding has been exhausted’. This program had been making available rebates of up to 25 per cent of the purchase price of energy star appliances, electric vehicle home charging stations, induction stove tops and more. Over 50 per cent of Canada’s emissions come from energy (2018:IPCC).
Some government funding for this and other programs and infrastructure will come from stopping the more than $3.3 billion annual federal subsidies to oil, gas and coal producers (Environmental Defence). Others will come from savings when the economy is transformed, retooled.
As individuals we can also save money, and reduce our carbon footprint too. Transportation accounts for 30 per cent of Canada’s emissions (2018:IPCC) but driving at 100 km an hour instead of 120 km uses 20 per cent less fuel, so saves money and creates 20 per cent less CO2. Reducing energy waste in the home by turning down thermostats in winter, unplugging electronic devices when not in use, washing laundry in cold water all save money and reduce emissions.
Doing nothing about climate change will cost the world economy US$7.9 trillion by 2050 according to The Economist Intelligence Unit, and between $21 to $43 billion a year in Canada. Let’s support our government in meeting its targets to mitigate this most pressing existential threat.
