Mobile clinic set up in Louisville to treat cases of canine flu
A local animal hospital is taking new steps to control the dog flu in Louisville.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A local animal hospital is taking new steps to control the dog flu in Louisville.
Several cases of the dog flu have been reported across the region, some of which resulted in fatalities.
Blue Pearl Louisville has set up a mobile flu clinic to treat suspected cases of the canine flu without infecting other pets at the hospital.
"It can be spread on clothing," said Scott Rizzo, DVM, with Blue Pearl Louisville. "For up to 48 hours, if another dog was at that fire hydrant and your dog comes up on it, that can potentially be a contact point."
Vets are urging pet owners to have their dogs vaccinated. If you suspect your dog is sick, it's also important to keep it away from other animals.

O Lord, You have searched me and known me. You know when I sit down and when I rise up; You understand my thought from afar. You scrutinize my path and my lying down, and are intimately acquainted with all my ways. Even before there is a word on my tongue, behold, O Lord, You know it all. You have enclosed me behind and before, and laid Your hand upon me.
One of my earliest memories is of being rocked in my father’s arms and soothed by the rhythm of a tune that he used to hum. Dad’s deep voice made it a rumbly lullaby that I could both feel as well as hear, and before long humming gave way to sweet dreams. I remember the feeling of being held and calmed by his voice and, to this day, this little tune quiets me. It is a melody that I’ve since heard myself hum to calm my children, grandchildren, and my own heart when it is frightened. Being held and “hummed to” created safety all around and inside of me. “Dad is here. It’s all going to be ok. I can rest.”
Is there a more beautiful reality than that our lives are held by God…always?
Our sitting down and rising up, our every thought and word, coming and going, working or lying down, He knows! He is intimately acquainted with everything about us. We are seen, known and loved by the God who made us…at all times, in all places, no matter how we feel about it. How do you feel about it? It is an easy idea to cuddle up with when we feel “warm and cozy” but it can be a most prickly truth to believe in the dark of night. How, when we are frightened by the night, can we rest in His arms and let the sound of His voice bring us peace?
When a mother consoles her crying baby, she holds it despite the wailing and flailing of little arms and legs. The child has no idea how it will ever be content again and is simply as unhappy as it needs to be! Mom, on the other hand, watches over the upset babe, all the while working to provide for its needs. Sound familiar? We are finite creatures and, while we have certain capacity to make sense of our lives, we are unable to grasp the entirety of why things happen as they do.
Sometimes, we must simply wail and be as unhappy as we need to be, but eventually…and often after we’ve exhausted ourselves, we must rest in the infinite arms that hold us.
We must come to our senses and look for God’s face. We must listen for His voice that sings over our troubled hearts and let His firm grasp of our lives bring us the peace we crave. His arms are mighty, His heart is good, and the sound of His humming, however it comes to us, gives way to rest.
“Thank you, Father, for holding my life…always. To know that You do, consoles me. To consider that You know me through and through helps me to exhale. You are here. It’s all going be ok. I can rest. Amen.”
What about you?
Is your heart troubled? What brings you comfort?
Where/with whom do you experience being known?
Do you need to know today that you are seen, known and loved by the God who made you?
He loves you and is intimately acquainted with all your ways.

Bulgaria's Parliament to Elect 2 Constitutional Court Judges
Bulgaria's Parliament is to elect Wednesday two members of the Constitutional Court (KS).
The two members of KS from the parliamentary quota will be chosen among four candidates, including the two Deputy Parliament Chairs, Anastas Anastasov and Ekaterina Mihaylova, Deputy Chair of the Supreme Administrative Court (VAS) Veneta Markovska, and Tatyana Varbanova, Judge at the Supreme Court of Cassation (VKS).
The hearings of the candidates at the Parliamentary Legal Committee were held last week, according to reports of dnevnik.bg.
The nomination of Veneta Markovska stirred heated debates as socialist MP Yanaki Stoilov reported a tip-off against her related to the court practice of VAS.
Stoilov, however, failed to give details about the tip-off, urging Markovska to acquaint herself with the matter.
Legal Affairs Committee Chair Iskra Fidosova barred a discussion on the matter, saying that Stoilov had disregarded the rules of procedure which did not admit anonymous signals.
The issue was not brought up for discussion even after it turned out that the signal had been signed.
On Tuesday, the European Commission sharply criticized Bulgaria's Parliament for hiding signals about Constitutional Court judge nominees which raised doubts about the integrity of the candidates.
The EC underscored that all accusations of corruption and conflict of interest had to be cleared to defend the reputation of the institution.

700+ octagon 99C’s, so is that rare? Hmm.
My ratio of 375 A’s to Brushguns is similar to yours.
The 99Cs with the leftover 24" octagon barrels in 308 and the 99Fs with 24" barrels in 358 weren't cataloged items, were they?
Of the rifles mentioned, I've only owned 1x 99-375, 1x 99A in 375, 1x 99A in 300, 1x 99DL in 350-3000, and a few of the octagon barrel 99Cs in 308. I had 1 of the octagon 99 Cs rechambered from 308 to 30-284 back when I was going through my 284 based wildcat phase. I don't recall ever seeing a post-1959 99 in 358 with a 24" barrel that wasn't a 99DL, but I've never cared very much for the 358, so I never looked very hard for them unless it was a 99R.

5G subscriptions in India are expected to reach 130 million in 2023, and are estimated to grow to 860 million by 2029, a new report showed on Thursday.
Global smartphone brand OnePlus on Friday said it is successfully geared up to bring in the evolutionary 5G technology ecosystem to OnePlus users in India. The brand confirmed that its recently-launched devices will also be 5G-ready with eligible networks, including Vi.
The company said it has been demonstrating leadership in 5G R&D and has been the fastest in the industry to bring 5G devices to consumers across the globe.
“OnePlus recognised the enormous potential of 5G much early on. We initiated 5G research efforts back in 2016. And we became one of the first tech companies globally to bring 5G connectivity to users. With India inching towards the launch of 5G, OnePlus users will enjoy a truly seamless, speedy internet experience with their future-ready devices, while achieving a lot more from their daily use of smartphones than they ever imagined”, Navnit Nakra, India CEO and Head of India Region, OnePlus India, told IANS.
OnePlus launched the first line-up of 5G smartphones in 2020 in India, with the OnePlus 8 series in April 2020.
Since then, all OnePlus smartphones have been 5G-ready, including the OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G, the brand’s most affordable device in India, from the sub-Rs 20,000 price segment, priced at Rs 19,999, according to the company.
OnePlus emerged as the leading 5G smartphone brand in online channels in Rs 20,000-Rs 30,000 segment in the first half of 2022, as per the recent Counterpoint India channel share tracker for Q2 2022.
The company also shared that they have emerged as the best-selling 5G smartphone on Amazon.in during the Great Indian Festival in the period of September 22 to 29 (by volume).

This past weekend Callum took to the @MopUpDuty twitter account and caused quite a stir, stating the following:
If up to me, I would rather take the ~$14 million earmarked for Santana and use it on eating salary of a better pitcher at the deadline.
— mopupduty (@mopupduty) March 8, 2014
MopUpDuty writer Matthias disagrees with Callum’s tweet. He feels that $14+ million should be used right now to sign Ervin Santana. His reasoning is below.
Afterwards, Callum gives his full take on his controversial tweet, and explains why he feels that the $14 million should be earmarked for later in the season.
I can’t get behind this scenario. Currently, Santana MAY cost $14 million for a one-year deal. All the Jays stand to lose is a second round pick. Now I’m not sure if the MLB & MLBPA will hammer out some type of reconfigured compensation in light of this off-seasons FA market, if they do it will only enhance Ervin’s value. If they don’t the Jays can hopefully extract something similar to his current compensation price. Finally, the option of a sign & trade becomes viable in this current FA system and could yield an incoming player next off-season.
Conversely, trading for a pitcher around the deadline will cost the Jays assets. The current structure of the Jays farm system:
- 0-1 year windows: Sanchez & Stroman
- Stacked at lower levels
- Somewhat barren in-between
Unless the Jays can deal from the bottom levels, teams will want one of the big two. In light of the Syndergaard Deal, I’m not thrilled with the proposition of trading away seven years of control on an SP, regardless of who’s coming over in return.
With all of this said, I don’t have faith in Santana being anything more than a #3. I can see him eating some innings and producing around 2.5 – 3 WAR. Judging how WAR works with in the first place, this gives Santana a net WAR upside of 1.5 – 2 wins for the Jays vs a mixture of pitchers in the 4/5 slot of the Jays rotation. However, the 200 IP itself has value; it keeps prospects like Sanchez/Stroman off the clock. And the deal becomes sweeter if Ervin can keep the ball in the park and produce above my level-headed expectations.
All things considered, I think the positives win out. I think the Jays should be players at $14 – $16 million on a one-year deal.
First, let me clarify what I meant in the original tweet as there wasn’t enough room to do so in 140 characters. I believe the Blue Jays are a better team with Santana than without. They can pay him $14 million or $25 million for one year for all I care. With that said, my statement was said under the assumption that the Blue Jays are operating under a budget and have finite resources to work with. The $14 million that they could pay Santana is money that was presumably earmarked for a qualifying offer for Josh Johnson. I say presumably because I don’t really know what the financial situation of the Blue Jays is and what financial constraints Alex Anthopoulos is operating under. I am led to believe that money is indeed an object based on the relative inactivity of the Blue Jays this past offseason. If Rogers was truly willing to do whatever it takes to make this team better, we would see Brian McCann catching instead of Dioner Navarro. Tanaka would be part of the rotation. Even Stephen Drew would be playing second base.
So, my initial statement was rooted in this framework. Rogers is not an owner like Detroit’s Mike Illitch or the Dodgers’ Magic Johnson ownership group that has a track record of spending money to improve the team at the deadline. If I have $14 million to spend and can only choose to spend it on Santana today, and that this expenditure precludes adding salary at the deadline, I would choose to spend that money on taking on salary of a better pitcher at the trade deadline. The $14 million comes from what has been bandied about the rumour mill as to what Santana is looking for. Again, we are working with limited information.
Of course, this logic is based on the presumption that the Blue Jays will in fact be contenders at the trade deadline. I think the Blue Jays roster, as it stands now, will at the bare minimum be within striking distance of the 2nd wildcard at the deadline. Remember, Dickey was hurt last season, Brandon Morrow went down early and Josh Johnson was a non-entity. That’s 40%+ of the rotation. Not to mention Brett Lawrie’s significant loss of time, Jose Reyes missing half the season, JP Arencibia’s penchant for striking out 25% of the time and Bautista injuries. The roster as it stands now is already a marked improvement on last year’s team – as long as it is healthy.
So then, will 3+ months of Ervin Santana in the rotation put them in a far greater position to compete for a playoff spot than a deadline deal? Here are a list of pitchers that could presumably had at the deadline and their annual salary:
- Brett Anderson ($12 mil)
- AJ Burnett ($18)
- Yovani Gallardo ($13)
- Dan Haren ($10)
- Josh Johnson ($8)
- Jake Peavy ($8)
- James Shields ($13.5)
and those with an additional year of control:
- Tim Hudson ($12 mil)
- David Price ($14)
- Bartolo Colon ($11)
- Jordan Zimmerman ($16.5)
True, these pitchers will require assets to acquire. But the window on the Jays being able to contend for a playoff spot is not perpetually open. I’m willing to part with prospects who may or may not pan out now for the chance to deliver a playoff appearance to Toronto fans for the first time since 1993.
Now the meat of my argument. I don’t think Santana is the saviour of the Blue Jays’ pitching rotation and judging by the fact that he is still unsigned, MLB team executives feel the same way about him.
As pointed out by Ken Fidlin in the Toronto Sun, Santana has many flaws. He led the league in home runs in 2012 and the ball absolutely flies out of the Rogers Centre. Just ask RA Dickey. Santana pitched in the AL Central, arguably the weakest division in baseball. I see him getting chewed up and spit out by the meat grinder that is the AL East. In fact, Santana’s career ERA vs. the AL East is 4.86 – nearly a full run higher than his career mark. His ERA on the road vs. the AL East is 5.41 Not that studly.
In 2013, Santana threw more sliders than any other pitcher in baseball. The slider is a pitch that puts tremendous strain on the elbow and Santana sprained his in 2009. There are rumblings that his elbow is in tatters and his medical reports are scaring teams off – part of the reason why he hasn’t signed yet. So those 200IP everyone is banking on him bringing to Toronto are far from a sure bet. These reasons are why I don’t think that Santana will have as much of an impact as some of the pitchers listed above.
In regards to keeping Stroman off the clock, I get that, but it doesn’t concern me much at this point. I like to push young, talented pitchers and all you have to do is look at Jose Fernandez and Michael Wacha to see how well it can work for a team. Besides, based on my initial statement, Stroman/Hutchison/Happ won’t have to shoulder the load all year. Just half a season.
The Jays are a better team with Santana, that is clear. But is it the best way to spend $14 million that may or may not be available?
Where Do You Stand?: Is Santana worth a $14+ million outlay when factoring in the Jays self-imposed current economic constraints?

What is the most popular beer in the world
the most popular beer in the world is undoubtedly the best selling beer in the world – Budweiser. Budweiser accounts for nearly 45% of all beer sales in the United States. It is also the best selling beer in almost every country around the world.The second most popular beer in the world is Chang, which is brewed by China Resources Milling (CRM) Ltd. The company also brews Tsingtao and Snow Mountain beer.The third most popular beer in the world is Heineken, which is brewed by Heineken NV. The company operates about 100 breweries around the world, mostly in Africa and Asia, as well as a few in Europe and North America. There are over 200 other beers that are available around the world that are brewed by various companies and brands, however they only make up a tiny percentage of beer sales globallyTogether these three beers account for over 90% of all beer sold in the world’s markets.
What is the #1 selling beer in the world?
The top-selling beer in the world is likely Pilsner Urquell, a Czech Pilsner beer produced by brewer the Plze?sk? Prazdroj brewery. According to Brewers Association (Barkers), it sold over 6.19 billion US gallons in 2016. In 2017, in December, Guinness sales world-wide were 7.65 billion US gallons which means that each and every person in the world has had a pint of Guinness at least once in their lives. So, if you buy a pint annually, even if you only drink it a couple times a year, over your lifetime you are buying 27 billion pints Guinness.
What is the world’s favorite beer?
Munich’s Oktoberfest has a long standing tradition of brewing the best beer in the world. According to a survey performed by the American magazine Men’s Journal, the Oktoberfest beer maestro unveiled is the Pilsner Urquell from the Czech Republic.Comment: What a surprise! We can only conclude that this is a result based on tasting. As we don’t have this opportunity, it’s up to you to confirm it with your taste buds!.

Top 10 highest-paying jobs in Canada for 2023?
10 Highest-Paying Positions with the opportunity for Increased Revenues THAT CAN Potentially Earn TO $130,000. On Jan 4, 2023, Randstad published a list of the ten best-paying positions in Canada. Randstad is the leading hiring partner in Canada and a global job firm. The highest-paying positions with the possibility of increased revenue are listed below. Depending on the qualification of the position, these positions can pay up to $130,000.
The pay for financial analysts varies from $80,000 to $120,000. The average pay for this profession has climbed in recent years as demand for it has remained high. By spotting patterns in financial records and assisting top management in making sensible choices, skilled financial experts support the success of the firms.
Full Stack Developer
Entry-level full-stack developers frequently make $75,000 a year, with the majority of professional full-stack developers making up to $130,000 annually. Full-stack developers are more in demand than ever, according to Randstad, and that requirement will only grow.
As increasingly complicated manufacturing equipment is used, demand for millwrights—one of the crafts with the greatest growth—will rise. They have quickly ascended to the pinnacle of the specialized crafts pay scale due to their great demand. Entry-level millwrights can earn $50,000, and senior roles can pay $95,000.
Production supervisors begin at a salary of $65,000 and can make up to $100,000 in more senior roles. Production managers get an ever-increasing salary. Given the industrial sector’s recent strong expansion in the requirement, the requirement for production supervisors is not anticipated to decline.
There is a nationwide shortage of forklift operators who can stack, move, and catalog goods in warehouses and fulfillment facilities. The salary range for a forklift operator is $40,000 to $58,000. Due to the rising demand, forklift operators’ salaries have increased as well.

Welcome to my WIKI page. My name is Brenda Crowell. I am the FACS teacher for 5th grade Nutrition classes, 7th grade Foods classes, and one of the three teachers for the 8th grade Entrepreneurship class.
Teaching Foods and Nutrition has always been, and continues to be, fun and exciting for both the students and for me. Today's society faces many challenges related to food preparation and consumption such as food allergies and sensitivities, and serving portion sizes. While these factors may cause frustration to some, we approach them with a positive attitude for exploration, discovery and learning!
5th GRADE NUTRITION
The Nutrition/Consumer Health course in the Unified Arts cycle is an introductory course for fifth graders.The nutrition component of the course will cover topics such as the nutrients, the "My Plate" Food Guide, dietary guidelines, calories, exercise, and the importance of good nutrition.The consumer health component will cover topics such as food labeling and nutrition information, eating out, and healthy food choices.
7th GRADE FOODS
Foods and Nutrition FACS Class
Seventh graders complete a Foods and Nutrition Unit in Family and Consumer Science class.The unit covers kitchen basics including safety, kitchen equipment, cooking terms, kitchen math, abbreviations, reading recipes and meal planning. Students also learn about organic ingredients, as well as common food allergies and food related health concerns, and the importance of both when planning and preparing meals.
Students practice kitchen skills in food labs with an emphasis on working cooperatively with others. An underlying focus is placed on the use of the "My Plate" Food Guide for making wise food choices and meeting daily nutritional needs.
8th GRADE ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Foods Segment of the Entrepreneurship Class
This class is for the 8th grade students who chose to have their business related to the production of food items.

Black Gold (i.e., Crude Oil using the ETF symbol USO) extended its gains today and moved through the resistance area shown in the prior letter. This has been a large move in a relatively short amount of time. What can stop it?
Moving too far too fast will typically result in prices pulling back especially if prices move straight up. If USO gaps higher at the open, I think that odds are high that sellers will take control.
If that gap higher does occur, my plan will be to short the 3x leveraged Crude Oil ETF symbol UWTI when a confirming intra-day price pattern forms. That may be set up in two or 30 minutes. Or it may not at all set up and prices continue higher. For now, it's a thought and will be my focus at that time. We'll also look at what to monitor further out.
The broader markets had another “okay day.” It was a relatively a narrow range day, but that seems like that has become the norm these days. Most sectors ended green, most noteworthy was the continued move higher in Black Gold — referring to Crude Oil.
Of the indices show above, the Nasdaq 100 ETF QQQ was positive on the day, but it barely overcame the prior day's high. The relative weakness was in a sector that has led the move higher. That being the Internet Index symbol FDN. Watch that one today. If it moves lower, it just might bring some selling into the other indices.
There has been little change to the trends and breadth. Most relevant was the hourly trend change from sideways to up in the Transportation sector ETF symbol IYT. That strength came in at a time when energy prices were surging higher.
How does that make sense — energy costs rising and transportation stocks moving higher as well?
It suggests that the demand for oil probably means economic strength. Hence a demand for companies that move goods, information and people.
I am not an economist; however, I follow inter-market relationships to guide what is happening. And the why and where that is likely to attract money into or out of. We'll take this thinking a little further in a minute.
Before moving on a mention about sentiment. It is at a bearish level (options traders buying many more calls (bullsh bets) than puts (bearish bets)), yet breadth is still bullish. Not until both are at bearish extremes will it be a concern.
So can the typically wrong-way options traders have it right this time? They just might with breadth saying that there is “gas left in the tank” to move higher. I am skeptical of how much higher with sentiment bearish, but will go with that whatever happens. No choice of course.
“Black Gold” Higher Again
USO, the Crude Oil ETF, moved above the price resistance that was to the left and its 50- and 200-period moving averages. This suggesting a move to the next resistance above.
If you've been a reader, I told you that big money eyes were on oil before the turn. Big money has been made during this move from the low, but the easy money has been had. My focus to short UWTI (mentioned above) is not to suggest that the move in completely over. But I do think there will be selling if prices gap higher at the open.
The Energy Sector ETF symbol XLE broke above its range today on increased volume. The stocks in the sector are moving higher with increased momentum now. That was not the case when oil first started its move.
In my July 31st letter I said, ” I would not expect a breakout of the range and a momentum move higher in the near term. But there are opportunities in this sector.” That was spot-on at the time. Now that prices have broken out, we should see energy stocks and this ETF continue the move. BTW, CHK has done very well since mentioned.
The Dollar and Oil
In that July 31st letter, I also showed you the Dollar versus USO and their inverse relationship. That was part of my bias why oil would turn. The continued move lower that started then has continued, and so USO higher.
Above is the Dollar index (in the prior letter I used the ETF symbol UUP) that is nearing first price support. Take note of that level (which in UUP is in the $24.20 area, which is not far away). The Dollar at that support level should result in USO stalling and potentially moving lower. That is a short-term view. We will see to what extent this unfolds.
Black Gold – What About the Yellow Gold?
Above is the Gold ETF symbol GLD. The two charts are the monthly and weekly time frames. This is a tough picture right now to trade. Here's why.
The turn and move higher has broken the downtrend in both time frames and is still intact in both. While into resistance that can be seen on the monthly, it's relatively wide. So prices could move higher — maybe to the top of the resistance area before a stall. There's no way to know.
While into that resistance, the price action on the weekly time frame is very constructive. That suggesting prices are likely to move higher, but how high? As I said, maybe to the top of the resistance area. That being said, the lower support marked on the weekly time frame should not be violated.
A retracement into the green rectangle would be okay and could be the area to enter with a confirming setup.
Ideally, GLD continues the sideways price action and then breaks out. The green moving average is the 10-period moving average. Why a 10? Because it equals the 50-period moving average on the daily time frame.
As I said, a tough picture or combination of multiple time frames or not easy at this time.
I hope you've profited for our letters and have learned a lot. Dan's options plays and commentary have been great, so if you've missed them, go back and read them.
That is for today. Happy Friday and a Great weekend ahead! Until next week fellow investors and traders…
All the best,
Founder of The Pristine Method of Trading

I recently read Hannah Arendt's book Eichmann in Jerusalem, her report on the 1961 Israeli trial of Adolf Eichmann, the so-called "architect of the Holocaust." The book is disturbing, not so much because it describes the crimes perpetrated on the Jewish people by the Nazis, but because it so clearly states that the people who committed these crimes, especially Eichmann himself, were not monstrous or psychotic but ordinary and "banal" people, people who for whatever reason abnegated their ability to think and discriminate and simply handed themselves over what they all could see was a murderous agenda. I chose these passages because they focus not only on the massive moral failings of the Nazis themselves but also on the personal and intimate failings of all the people the Nazis influences, which are in many ways more frightening because of these peoples' ordinariness.
"And just as the law in civilized countries assumes that the voice of conscience tells everybody 'Thou shalt not kill,' even though man's natural desires and inclinations may at times be murderous, so the law of Hitler's land demanded that the voice of conscience tell everybody: 'Thou shalt kill,' although the organizers of the massacres knew full well that murder is against the normal desires and inclinations of most people. Evil in the Third Reich had lost the quality by which most people recognize it - the quality of temptation. Many Germans and many Nazis, probably an overwhelming majority of them, must have been tempted not to murder, not to rob, not to let their neighbors go off to their doom (for that the Jews were transported to their doom they knew, of course, even though many of them may not have known the gruesome details), and not to become accomplices in all these crimes by benefiting from them. But, God knows, they had learned how to resist temptation."
"'We knew this. We did nothing. Anyone who had seriously protested or done anything against the killing unit would have been arrested within twenty-four hours and would have disappeared. It belongs among the refinements of totalitarian governments in our century that they don't permit their opponents to die a great, dramatic martyr's death for their convictions. A good many of us might have accepted a death. The totalitarian state lets its opponents disappear in silent anonymity. It is certain that anyone who had dared to suffer death rather than silently tolerate the crime would have sacrificed his life in vain. This is not to say that such a sacrifice would have been morally meaningless. It would only have been practically useless. None of us had a conviction so deeply rooted that we could have taken upon ourselves a practically useless sacrifice for the sake of a higher moral meaning.' Needless to say, the writer remains unaware of the emptiness of his much emphasized 'decency' in the absence of what he calls a 'higher moral meaning.'
But the hollowness of respectability - for decency under such circumstances is no more than respectability - was not what become apparent in the example afforded by Sergeant Anton Schmidt. Rather it was the fatal flaw in the argument itself, which at first sounds so hopelessly plausible. It is true that totalitarian domination tried to establish these holes of oblivion into which all deeds, good and evil, would disappear, but just as the Nazis' feverish attempts, from June, 1942, on, to erase all traces of the massacres - through cremation,, through burning in open pits, through the use of explosives and flame-throwers and bone-crushing machinery - were doomed to failure, so all efforts to let their opponents 'disappear in silent anonymity' were in vain. The holes of oblivion do not exist. Nothing human is that perfect, and there are simply too many people in the world to make oblivion possible. One man will always be left alive to tell the story. Hence, nothing can ever be 'practically useless,' at least, not in the long run. It would be of great practical usefulness for German today, not merely for her prestige abroad but for her sadly confused inner condition, if there were more such stories to be told. For the lesson of such stories is simple and within everybody's grasp. Politically speaking, it is that under conditions of terror most people will comply but some people will not, just as the lesson of the countries to which the Final Solution was proposed is that 'it could happen' in most places but it did not happen everywhere. Humanly speaking, no more is required, and no more can reasonably be asked, for this planet to remain a place fit for human habitation."
Arendt, Hannah. Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil. Penguin, 2006. 150, 232-33.

NDDC should publish names of defaulting contractors —Rep
In this interview by Jacob Segun Olatunji, a member in the House of Representatives, Honourable Ben Rollands Igbakpa, dissects various national issues ranging from the workings of the National Assembly to the insecurity in the country, declaring that bombing is not the solution to the Boko Haram insurgency.
What’s your take on the Federal Government’s intention to withdraw the military from the conflict-torn North-East so that the police can perform the civil duty?
We know the role of soldiers is to protect our territory against external aggression. They are not for internal crisis. That is the role of the mobile policemen; they are trained to move in swiftly and quell any internal uprising internally But, we have seen our soldiers, even on the streets now mounting road blocks. You see the governor of Borno State, Professor Babagana Umara Zulum screaming and crying that soldiers were allegedly indulging extortion of travellers because they have been brought into this kind of civil duty. They have found themselves in a civilian environment you know when a goat and a dog stay too long in a place, they will start acting as one. So, I think the plan withdrawal of soldiers from civil duty is a good approach to restoring sanity. We know the Boko Haram thing is beyond the police; there is nothing wrong to bring soldiers to serve as a stop gap. Since they have done their work, they should leave and allow the police continue from where they stopped.
So, how will you assess the security situation in the country now?
Well, I am not an expert but I know that it is not what it should be. However, the problem is not limited to Nigeria; it is everywhere. Go to Sudan, Cameroun, Ethiopia, Iraq even in the United Kingdom and the United States of America (USA), there is the problem of guerrilla fighters. I do not think Nigeria is an exception. The militia activities is really affecting the entire worldin the case of Nigeria, there is the need for us to focus more on intelligence gathering because the kind of ongoing war is not the conventional one. You are fighting people you don’t even know where they are coming from; they strike from nowhere; you can’t say ‘this is their territory; let us cordon them off.’ They are among us; the Boko Haram member stay with us, so we should device the intelligence gathering mechanism to fish them out. They have sympathisers among us. From the way things are, it is not just about bombing them alone that we can end insurgency. The government can explore the option of dialogue if it can locate the leaders of the insurgents. On the farmers-herders’ issue, I like what the Miyatti Allah Cattle Herders’ Association did recently when they told their people to stop grazing at night. This is because most times, you see you leave your farm by 5:00 p.m. you come back the next day and the entire farm has been ravaged. So, it means the leaders of the herders understand that Nigeria belongs to everybody and the more peaceful the country is the better for all of us.
As a member representing the Niger Delta region, how best do you think the crisis rocking the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), which was meant to accelerate the pace of development in the area but had not be able to make much difference and impact?
For me, I think it has been able to resolve some of the challenges to a great extent. The first thing is to understand that certain things were not right, and which have been identified so far that the funds were released to the NDDC. I think that is why Mr. President has ordered for a forensic audit which we are all going to back him fully. We have actually said we should be involved as the true representatives of the people. So, we are appealing to Mr. President to get the legislative arm involved in the forensic audit if for nothing at least to identify projects effectively and avoid confusion, A project that falls in the category of state can be given to you as a project that is for the NDDC ostensibly to cover up. We want to be involved so that we can actually guide them on what they are going to do. I know of projects that have been in my area since 2011 and 2012 and there is nothing to show for them. We want to help Mr President to ensure the takeoff of a new regime in the NDDC meant to actually develop the area. Mr. President has said the interim management committee should oversee the forensic audit before he can reconstitute the board. So, we in the Niger Delta quite agree with him.
So, it is a good that the President has said the forensic audit should be done and I think people should be sanctioned; people should be punished. Anybody that has collected money and has not done the work or the work is shabbily done, should be sanctioned because we all know that at the state level, if you do a road, there is a five percent retention that is kept. After a year, you get the five percent retention after which the road becomes a government problem to maintain the road afterwards. But any road that is done and it’s less than a year, the person should come back and fix it. So, it’s not just doing the forensic audit to say see these are the faults, but the persons responsible for the fault should actually be punished. Companies should be sanctioned because it is unfair for somebody to just collect money without doing the job and most of these people are from the Niger Delta. It is sad that most of them are from the Niger Delta region? So I think the issue is going to be resolved.
Having spent quite a number of months in the National Assembly, how will you review your activities and the performance of the ninth National Assembly so far?
Fortunately, this is my first time in the National Assembly and before I came, I had known Mr Speaker, Honouraable Femi Gbajabiamila from afar. I had always watched and admired his contributions to the House as the Minority Leader to the Majority leader, so I was quick to take sides with him in his quest to become the speaker of the ninth House. I don’t need anybody to tell me because I have seen him and he is somebody I have admired so I came out, spoke to my colleagues that are actually from my region and we all agreed on the need to support him, especially those of us that were just coming in. He is one man I know that has always done well because I believe in people that are highly independent.
On the ninth Assembly, we have been responsible for a lot of positive changes. Mr Speaker, in his inaugural speech, did tell us that things were going to change. He said some might have to shake up the table and really you can see that they have been drastic bills being sponsored by him. Look at the one that he said 40 percent of the annual budget should go to capital projects. He is not somebody who says this is PDP, this is APC and because the APC is at the helm of affairs, I should not do anything. He does what is right. So, he has been a good pilot in the ninth Assembly, especially in the House. The House leadership came up with an agenda and that is what we are implementing and for the first time, you can see the quality of the bills and motions coming up. The issue of returning the budget cycle from January to December is phenomenal. I think the ninth National Assembly has done very well. Recall that for the first six months, people were still involved in litigation on issues arising from the 2019 elections, so there was no time to really settle down. I was one of them; I had to devote so much time to the matter at the election tribunal to the appeal Court. I believe that in 2020, we are definitely going to do more.

In a world that values personal freedom, pleasure, and the satisfaction of the senses through many stimulating and exciting ways, the lives of the monks can seem so out of touch with what our world is preaching today. The way our media portrays it, the majority of America support legalizing marijuana, so most of the media portrays the legalization of the recreational use of this drug as a good thing and something that is right for society. Yet, the monks try to abide by a tradition that was formulated by St Benedict back in the 6th century. They get up at 3:15 in the morning to start their day with pray, and then the rest of the day includes mass and 6 others times of praying as a community. The rest of their day includes work and spiritual formation. The monks, however, do not see themselves as apart from the world, but rather see their prayers and monastic lifestyle as being in union with the world and lifted up for the good of the world.
I have been to different Trappist and Benedictine monasteries on retreat while I have been a seminarian and a priest. I always leave those times of prayer and reflection edified and renewed. I thank the monks of the Abbey of Gethsemani outside of New Haven, Kentucky for their hospitality and warm welcome that they give to visitors. I thank them for their prayers and their way of life.

Arkansas experienced higher than normal wildfire activity over the holiday weekend due to high wind, low humidity, and mild temperatures across the state.
AFC crews, in partnership with local fire departments, suppressed a total of 98 wildfires that burned 1,461 acres from Saturday to Monday. Some 43 homes were within close proximity of the flames, however, only one home was lost on Saturday – in Saline County.
The AFC placed all of Arkansas under moderate fire danger on Friday afternoon; since that time, all of central Arkansas has been lifted to high wildfire danger status.
Active Burn Bans have been declared by County Judges in 19 counties: Boone, Cleburne, Conway, Faulkner, Franklin, Fulton, Garland, Howard, Independence, Johnson, Lawrence, Lincoln, Perry, Pulaski, Saline, Sharp, Stone, Van Buren, and White.
If residents live in an area without active Burn Bans, the AFC recommends that individuals avoid outdoor burning. Combustible debris (such as dead leaves, pine needles, and dead grass) easily catch and spread fire during the current weather conditions. Weekend fire activity was at its worst on Saturday.
• Saturday (1/18) 50 wildfires 892 acres
• Sunday (1/19) 24 wildfires 247 acres
• Monday (1/20) 24 wildfires 322 acres
To report a wildfire, or inquire about wildfire danger, call the AFC Dispatch Center at 1-800-468-8834. To report an emergency, dial 911.

Foreign Affairs Minister Mangala Samaraweera and Finance Minister Ravi Karunanayake are to swap portfolios in a Cabinet reshuffle scheduled to take place this morning at the Presidential Secretariat, it is learnt.
As Daily Mirror exclusively reported in its Saturday edition, Mr. Samaraweera will take oaths as Finance Minister and Mr. Karunanayake as the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe notified a few of the proposed changes to the UNP parliamentary group at a meeting conducted late last night at Temple Trees. Among the other changes announced, Media Minister Gayantha Karunatilake is set to be given the portfolio of Land Minister.
The Prime Minister also announced that MP Tilak Marapana, who resigned from his portfolio earlier, would be brought back into the Cabinet in the reshuffle that takes place today (22). It is learnt that Mr. Karunanayake is opposed to the new post assigned to him. He has reportedly expressed his discontent.
According to sources, President Maithripala Sirisena has insisted that these changes take place in the Cabinet. Apart from portfolios held by UNP MPs, there are changes expected to take place in the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) as well. Speculation was rife that Petroleum and Petroleum Gas Minister Chandima Weerakkody would be stripped of his post to be assigned a new one. Additionally, Agriculture Minister Duminda Dissanayake is likely to be given further responsibilities.
There were last minute discussions between the President and the Prime Minister on the proposed changes. (Kelum Bandara)

Though once a baron’s daughter, Lady Merry Ellison is willing to go to any lengths to protect the orphaned children of her former village. Dubbed “The Ghosts of Farthingale Forest,” her band of followers soon become enemies of the throne when they hijack ill-gotten gold meant for the king.
Timothy Grey, ninth child of the Baron of Greyham, longs to perform some feat so legendary that he will rise from obscurity and earn a title of his own. When the Ghosts of Farthingale Forest are spotted in Wyndeshire, where he serves as assistant to the local earl, he might have found his chance. But when he comes face-to-face with the leader of the thieves, will he choose fame or love?
Dina Sleiman actually stopped by my blog specifically and asked me to review her book for her. Of course I said “yes” so I received this book on her compliments and below is my review 🙂
Dauntless is a very well written book that has an exciting new twist on the original “Robin Hood” story. Dina has a very engaging writing style and a talent for creating characters; and when I say talent, I really mean talent! There are so many different (mentioned) characters in this book that I thought the author was going to duplicate personalities, roles, etc. but surprisingly each character was his/her own and there were no duplicates. It is rare to have that many functioning characters in a single book (of about 300 pages) so I applaud the author for her success!
The love triangle was charming, though I did get annoyed with Merry about halfway into the book and may have accidentally rolled my eyes when she finally chose the right guy*guilty shrug*….Needless to say, the story is completely predictable, however, it has many unpredictable subplots that will satisfy those of us who need surprises. The emotion was captured very well in the scenes that needed emotion and the details were not overbearing. So all in all, I thoroughly enjoyed Dauntless and will go ahead and rate it 5 out of 5 stars.
I can almost promise you that I will be reading book two, Chivalrous, when it comes out in September (must finish the story!).
Thanks for reading!

No fewer than eight important hydrographic basins depend on the ecosystems that make up the Cerrado, Brazil’s savanna-like biome, but ambiguities in the legislation have permitted the advance of soybean plantations in the region. The warning is in an article by Brazilian researchers in the journal Perspectives in Ecology and Conservation (photo: Paepalanthus urbanianus (common name chuveirinho) in a wetland area of the Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park, Goiás state/Rafa
Published on 05/22/2023
By José Tadeu Arantes | Agência FAPESP – The Cerrado is the most endangered of Brazil’s major biomes, and the part known as the Cerrado wetlands is especially vulnerable. These wetlands feed perennial streams, supplying no fewer than eight of Brazil’s 12 hydrographic regions. The sources of the Xingu, Tocantins, Araguaia, São Francisco, Parnaíba, Jequitinhonha, Paraná and Paraguay, among other important rivers, are in the Cerrado. Destruction of the wetlands not only threatens the biodiversity and outstanding beauty of the landscape in the Cerrado but also endangers the nation’s water and energy security.
The wetlands are also an outstanding carbon sink, storing more than 200 metric tons per hectare. Changes in their cyclical balance tend to release methane, a major greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere.
The definition of wetlands is confusing, however, and this has been exploited by big landowners, who not only convert dry areas of the Cerrado into cropland but are also lobbying for the chance to drain the wetlands in order to expand their already vast soybean plantations. Quite apart from other objections, from the strictly economic standpoint, they would be shooting themselves in the foot since the possibility of irrigation depends on survival of the water sources.
To clear up the confusion and offer decision-makers sound scientific criteria, a group of Brazilian researchers has produced an article on the many ecosystems encompassed by the wetland concept. The article is published in the journal Perspectives in Ecology and Conservation.
“The lack of precise definitions has undermined the regulatory framework and left a significant proportion of the Cerrado unprotected. We set out to clarify the concept of wetlands, specifying the ecosystems that can be so classified, analyzing their dynamics, and offering proposals for their protection,” Giselda Durigan, first author of the article, told Agência FAPESP.
Durigan is a researcher at the Institute of Environmental Research (IPA), an arm of the São Paulo State Department of Infrastructure and Environment, and a professor in the graduate studies programs of São Paulo State University (UNESP) and the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP). She has studied the Cerrado for more than 35 years.
“An example of the serious harm that can be done by the lack of precise definitions and the ambiguities in interpreting the law is Resolution no. 45, passed on August 31, 2022, by CONSEMA, the Environmental Council of Mato Grosso,” she said. The Cerrado covers almost 40% of Mato Grosso state. “Disrespecting a decision of the Federal High Court [STJ], this resolution regulated the ‘environmental licensing of activities and business ventures located in wetlands’ within the state. Despite the euphemisms, it simply authorized destruction.”
Durigan made a point of providing a precise definition. “Wetlands are areas of continental land subject to periodic or permanent flooding or waterlogging. Given their fragility and extreme importance to water storage and filtration, they are globally protected by the intergovernmental treaty adopted at Ramsar in Iran in 1971. Brazil signed the Ramsar Convention in 1996 but has so far failed to fulfill its commitment to map all of its wetlands,” she said.
Brazil has coastal wetlands, where tidal flows cause flooding by saltwater or brackish water, and two hydrologically distinct types of wetland far from the coast: floodplains and swamps (várzeas and pantanais) periodically flooded by overflowing rivers; and land that is temporarily or seasonally inundated by a rise in the water table.
“Most wetlands in the Cerrado are the latter. The heavy rains that fall in the summer months slowly seep down into the soil, recharging the water table and accumulating in wetlands, which are the source of streams that never dry up and flow into Brazil’s great rivers even in dry periods. In this respect, the Cerrado is quite unlike other savannas around the world, where the major rivers dry up completely for much of the year,” Durigan said.
The confusion that undermines the regulatory framework, she added, is largely due to the existence of several types of vegetation in the Cerrado wetlands, with many different local names such as campo úmido (wet grassland), campo de murundus (termite savanna), turfeira (bogland), vereda (palm swamp), palmeiral (palmland), buritizal (Mauritia palm grove), gallery forest, and so on. Two or more types may coexist in a single wetland area, from grassland to dense forest – hence the difficulty of understanding the Cerrado wetlands, let alone delimiting and protecting them.
“The law sometimes refers to one of the types, as in the case of veredas in the Native Vegetation Protection Law [Law 12,651/2012], leaving all the other types unprotected. Or it protects only part of a wetland, leaving entire swathes without legal cover,” Durigan said.
The article resulted from a multidisciplinary effort, she said, involving specialists in vegetation, hydrology, ecophysiology, conservation, restoration and environmental legislation, who used their knowledge and practical experience to unify and disseminate their understanding of the matter.
“We argue that all wetlands should be equally and fully protected by law, guaranteeing that they won’t be converted to cropland and that their natural flood or inundation pulses aren’t affected by land uses in adjacent areas. Sustainable land management practices, such as beekeeping and forest resource harvesting, for example, can be allowed but must be validated and regulated,” Durigan said.
This precautionary approach is justified by the main threats to the Cerrado wetlands, such as damming of watercourses, drainage, urban expansion, infrastructure construction projects, and uncontrolled extraction of water from wells for irrigation of crops and eucalyptus plantations in entire hydrographic basins where the original vegetation was not forest.
“All these activities are highly impactful. They lower the water table and may even deplete it locally, endangering water security and ecosystem services in the Cerrado. This must be stopped urgently by competent legislation and enforcement,” Durigan said.
The Native Vegetation Protection Law, she added, deals with wetlands in a confusing way, leaving part of them as Permanent Conservation Areas (APPs in the Portuguese-language acronym) or Restricted Use Areas (AURs). Some types of wetland in the Cerrado do not match the definitions in the law, undermining enforcement with judicial, social and political conflicts.
“In an effort to pacify the situation, the STJ decided that, given their indubitable environmental importance, all wetlands should be assumed to be protected, whether as APPs or AURs, regardless of nomenclature. This was the decision disrespected by the resolution passed by CONSEMA in Mato Grosso,” she said.
The good news is that right now a large group of technicians and scientists representing different regions of Brazil are working hard to produce a National Inventory of Wetlands, under the leadership of specialists Wolfgang Junk and Cátia Nunes da Cunha, of the National Science and Technology Institute for Wetlands (INAU), to provide support for the Ministry of the Environment.
“The legend ‘Wetlands’ has recently been included on the maps produced by MapBiomas, which is a big step forward,” Durigan said, referring to the collaborative network of non-governmental organizations, universities and tech startups established to map land use and land cover in Brazil. “However, demarcating wetlands in the field at the scale of rural properties is no easy task, and this hinders enforcement of the law. Our article puts forward objective criteria based on hydromorphic soil, endemic flora and maximum elevation or minimum depth of the water table to facilitate delimitation of wetlands at the local level.”
