The most recently evicted Big Brother Naija housemate, Gifty Powers, in an exclusive chat with LIB, revealed her marital status, TTT’s relationship with Bisola and a lot more.
She revealed that contrary to rumours, she has never been married. She also confessed that she lied to her housemates when she said she was a virgin as it was just part of her game plan. Gifty also disclosed that none of the housemates is aware of Thin Tall Tony’s marital status, saying that Bisola will be so sad when she finds out.
Read excerpts of the interview below.
LIB: What is your reaction to rumours that you used to be a hair dresser in Anambra state?
I am not a hair dresser, I have never made anybody’s hair for money. I just love learning, I watch people do something and I pick it up. The uniform photo was from a movie scene.
LIB: What parts of you in the house was a fake?
Some parts of me like the romance, kissing and accents were fake. It was part of my game plan before I entered the house.
LIB: There was a time you told your fellow house mates you are a virgin, how true is this?
Saying I was a virgin was also part of the game plan. I am not a virgin. I have had ex boyfriends so definitely, I am not a virgin.
LIB: What about your education, you claimed to have good grades
I studied Theatre Art in Ghana, had good grades and yes, I graduated with a first class
LIB: There were also rumours that you were married for few months and also an actor came out to claim he is your boyfriend
I have never been married before. Would love to get married in the future though, but I have never been married. As for the boyfriend, he is an actor and that photo was from a movie, He played as my husband and I played as a foreigner. There is no relationship between us. I even called him and shouted at him. I asked him why he would post such a thing.
LIB: Are you in any relationship?
I was in a relationship before I went into the Big Brother house but broke up with him a few days before I traveled for the show. I didn’t want to break his heart because I knew my game plan was going to be very nasty
LIB: What is actually going on between Bisola and Thin Tall Tony?
Bisola and Thin Tall Tony have a thing. I’m just imagining how Bisola will react when she finds out that he is married.
LIB: Does any of the housemates know Thin Tall Tony is married?
At a point, I suspected he was married because of the way he answered me when asked him if he was married. One day, two of us were in the kitchen and I asked him ‘are you married?’ he hesitated before saying no he is not. I also asked him if he has a girlfriend and he said no. Thin Tall Tony is serious game player but Bisola is truly falling for him and it’s written all over her. She would be very sad when she finds out he is married.

Anne-Marie Slaughter's controversial cover story in this week's The Atlantic, "Why Women Still Can't Have It All," has got me thinking about the expression "having it all," a simple, three-word phrase that has become a rallying cry of a generation of women -- mothers, professionals and feminists.
The phrase became part of popular lexicon when Cosmopolitan editor Helen Gurley Brown wrote a book titled Having It All in 1982, in which she posited that women could have it all -- the "all" meaning "love, sex and money."
To the horror of feminists like Betty Friedan and Germaine Greer, Brown did not address her book to an audience of well-educated, professional women in the midst of the work-life juggle. Rather, she spoke to a group that she called the "mouseburgers" -- women who were ''not prepossessing, not pretty, don't have a particularly high I.Q., a decent education, good family background or other noticeable assets.'' According to Brown, if these women were willing to work hard, put ambition first and flatter and manipulate people, they could get ahead in the world. All they needed to compensate for their modest endowments was ''street smarts, good intuition, a degree of selfishness and drive."
Mainstream advocates of family and marriage were also up in arms against Brown's outspoken views on the power of feminine wiles and sexuality.
Fast forward to the 1990s and 2000s. "Having it all" has become the catch phrase for women's untenable struggle to balance career and family life without shortchanging either one. This is the struggle that Slaughter details in her Atlantic piece.
While I'm mostly in sync with Slaughter's point about how it remains particularly difficult for women to succeed at the highest levels due to the clash between the personal and the professional, I am not in sync with the feminist rallying cry that "having it all" should be the goal we are working towards.
The real problem with the idea of "having it all" is the illusion that you shouldn't have to make any choices. Everybody makes choices -- about their profession, work, family and more. While the choices that women today are making about work-life balance are relatively new -- up until the 1970s, women didn't have much choice when it came to career (nor did men have much choice about staying home to raise kids, mind you) -- they present an interesting dilemma.
Without choice, we would not be free. But choice is not all liberating. We may be born with numerous talents and potential, but not all are fulfillable given the limitations of time, opportunity, money, etc. Nor are all potentials harmonious. For example, a person cannot pursue a career as a professional gymnast and a professional ice skater at the same time -- the demands of each sport conflict.
Ms. Slaughter's choice to forego a job with the State Department that took her away from home five days a week was counterbalanced by her ability to go back to a job as a professor at Princeton University -- not a shabby career choice by any stretch of the imagination. Did she forego "having it all" by making this decision? I would dare to say no.
Bottom line: We need to stop equating (female) success with "having it all." We live in a society where we are taught to believe (falsely) that we can do anything we put our mind to -- that the sky is the limit. I've known very few people whose lives have progressed in a way where they've never had to make complicated trade-offs. The outcome isn't always perfect, but "having it all" is not the only option.

A second pre-season away trip to face Nottinghamshire opposition yielded a second successive win and second clean sheet for Nottingham Forest at Mansfield Town.
Mark Warburton’s side were 4-0 winners in Saturday’s game at the One Call Stadium and in uncharacteristic fashion for this time of year, the game was thoroughly watchable for the most part.
Just like they were on Wednesday night at Meadow Lane, Forest were at times tested and had to be alert against a Stags side well drilled by Steve Evans.
Jason Cummings, a £1m signing from Hibernian, was the first to set the ball rolling, striking well into the top corner to give Forest a first half lead.
Substitute Tyler Walker, being given a chance to impress this summer following loan spells away from the City Ground last season, was alert to tap in a second.
Greek striker Apostolos Vellios, who bagged the second goal at Notts, finished a fine move in the 82nd minute to make it 3-0 and he was in the right place to slot in Forest’s fourth with a minute of normal time to go.
It was a useful workout for the Reds, who take on Girona FC at the City Ground on Tuesday night before welcoming Burnley on Saturday.

The Hub Coffee House & Café

Photo by Dante Fontana, © Style Media Group.
A recent fall morning had me craving iced coffee and, with hunger overtaking my brain, something to nibble and savor alongside.
I found just what I was looking for at The Hub Coffee House & Café, conveniently located in the El Dorado Hills Town Center. The airy café – comfortably populated with customers typing away on laptops and enjoying their daily caffeine fix – felt warm and inviting. Each wall featured local art and paintings for sale. The menu, which changes daily based on the owner/chef’s inspiration is nicely varied, featuring simple-yet-delicious options like their Cuban Panini, Beef Barley Soup, and Chicken Shallot Pizza with pesto. I was lucky enough to sample a slice of the Mushroom Onion Fontina Tart with Sherry reduction. The tart tasted even better than it looked, bursting with flavors of onion and earthy mushrooms, with just enough salty Fontina to score a perfect ingredient combination. It was light enough for breakfast, yet decadent enough to not leave me needing more. My much-needed java craving was satisfied with a milky iced Americano concocted with sublimely roasted beans – a distinct taste that surfaced with every sip. Open until 9 p.m. on Fridays (open mic night) and Saturdays, the Hub is also a cool way to cap off any night out.

BACKGROUND: Surviving cells in the postinfarction border zone are subjected to intense fluctuations of their microenvironment. Recently, border zone cardiomyocytes have been specifically implicated in cardiac regeneration. Here, we defined their unique transcriptional and regulatory properties, and comprehensively validated new molecular markers, including Nppb, encoding B-type natriuretic peptide, after infarction.
METHODS: Transgenic reporter mice were used to identify the Nppb-positive border zone after myocardial infarction. Transcriptome analysis of remote, border, and infarct zones and of purified cardiomyocyte nuclei was performed using RNA-sequencing. Top candidate genes displaying border zone spatial specificity were histologically validated in ischemic human hearts. Mice in which Nppb was deleted by genome editing were subjected to myocardial infarction. Chromatin accessibility landscapes of border zone and control cardiomyocyte nuclei were assessed by using assay for transposase-accessible chromatin using sequencing.
RESULTS: We identified the border zone as a spatially confined region transcriptionally distinct from the remote myocardium. The transcriptional response of the border zone was much stronger than that of the remote ventricular wall, involving acute downregulation of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, fatty acid metabolism, calcium handling, and sarcomere function, and the activation of a stress-response program. Analysis of infarcted human hearts revealed that the transcriptionally discrete border zone is conserved in humans, and led to the identification of novel conserved border zone markers including NPPB, ANKRD1, DES, UCHL1, JUN, and FOXP1. Homozygous Nppb mutant mice developed acute and lethal heart failure after myocardial infarction, indicating that B-type natriuretic peptide is required to preserve postinfarct heart function. Assay for transposase-accessible chromatin using sequencing revealed thousands of cardiomyocyte lineage-specific MEF2-occupied regulatory elements that lost accessibility in the border zone. Putative injury-responsive enhancers that gained accessibility were highly associated with AP-1 (activator protein 1) binding sites. Nuclear c-Jun, a component of AP-1, was observed specifically in border zone cardiomyocytes.
CONCLUSIONS: Cardiomyocytes in a discrete zone bordering the infarct switch from a MEF2-driven homeostatic lineage-specific to an AP-1-driven injury-induced gene expression program. This program is conserved between mouse and human, and includes Nppb expression, which is required to prevent acute heart failure after infarction.

Fans are Convinced Descendants 3 is Happening, Thanks to One Clue
After fans have begged and pleaded for another chapter to unfold in the Descendants film series, Disney teased some big news ahead, and our prayers may finally be answered.
Disney hit us with a cryptic announcement just two days ago that major DCOM (Disney Channel Original Movie) news will be announced this Friday — that’s just TWO days away for those of you living under a rock — and fans have already begun predicting what the news could possibly be.
After Disney’s Descendants 2 premiered last July, the film left fans with MANY questions, so naturally, minds have wandered into the territory of yet another film in the works. Disney Channel’s Instagram account posted a video claiming that there will “MAJOR DCOM NEWS FRIDAY.”
Fans have also depicted what looks like faint logo in the teaser of what looks like the Descendants apple AND, according to What’s Filming, the third movie, titled Descendants 3: The Big Sleep, is set to begin filming this May in Vancouver. And since we’re deep into the rabbit hole of clues here, Sofia Carson recently opened up about what she hopes for her character Evie, “if there ever was a third Descendants“… Yeah, we’re onto you, girl.
Sofia said of her hopes for Evie in a third installment, “You’ve never really seen a wicked side of Evie. If Descendants 3 happens, either she goes under some spell or someone spells her and we see a truly wicked side of Evie. She would become villainous and be poisoning apples for real.”
Dove Cameron also took to Instagram just yesterday to share a photo of her iconic purple Descendants wig in celebration of Descendants reaching two billion views on YouTube. So, like, if the second film did that well, then a third should be a no-brainer, right?
Okay, that’s enough investigative work for us as the rumors have yet to be confirmed, but there are only two more days until we find out what Disney has brewing. Seriously, there are about to be some angry fans if this isn’t the Descendants news we’re all hoping for, so we hope you’re listening, Disney execs!


Sales Tax Could Help Pay for Transportation Needs, Some Say
NCGo!, a statewide business coalition that pushes for transportation-funding solutions, and the Triangle-based Regional Transportation Alliance say a half-cent tax in Raleigh would raise about $45 million each year.
"We're dealing with growing needs of a growing state, and we don't have enough money to do the job," said NCGo! Chairman Beau Mills. "And unfortunately, that means we need to find the money somewhere, and that means more taxes."
Any proposal to raise road-building funds by creating a special tax district would have to pass the North Carolina Legislature.
Some legislators, such as Sen. Neal Hunt, R-Wake, say a local tax should be the last option. Hunt says he would most likely vote against it.
"the easiest thing to do is say, 'Just raise the tax,'" Hunt said. "That's the easy way to do things. The right way to do things is to get to the bottom of it, figure out what we're doing right, what we're doing wrong, instead of just adding a sales tax every time we need something."
Supporters of the proposed road tax say the federal government is helping less so local governments will have to do more.
Voters would have to approve any local tax.

Individual papilloma virus (HPV)
Women and men with HPV have actually an elevated threat of developing anal cancer. Around 9 in 10 instances of anal cancer (90%) are connected to HPV infection.
HPV is a common disease that gets transmitted from one individual to some other by intimate contact. For many people the herpes virus causes no damage and disappears without treatment.
Forms of HPV
There are various forms of HPV, the majority are benign, some cause genital warts, as well as others could cause cancer tumors.
Regarding the several types of HPV, kind 16 is considered the most typical in anal cancer tumors.
When you have a history of genital warts you have got a heightened threat of anal cancer tumors.
Individuals who have rectal intercourse or who possess a greater wide range of https://mail-order-bride.net/honduran-brides intimate lovers may also provide an elevated threat of anal cancer tumors. This may be as a result of the increased danger of HPV infection.
Utilizing condoms every right time you have got intercourse can reduce your likelihood of getting HPV. But HPV can infect areas that aren’t covered by a condom so they really do not lessen the danger completely.
Reputation for cervical, genital or cancer that is vulval
Some tests also show that you have a higher risk of developing abnormal cells in the anus or anal cancer than the general population if you have had cervical, vulval or vaginal cancer. The danger can be higher for females with a past reputation for unusual cells into the cervix, vulva or vagina. Read More

It is our philosophy to keep sea time short so that we can focus instead on fast, effective access to shore and near-shore activities. To give you the maximum contact with the nature and wildlife you traveled so far to see, we employ a tough fleet of rigid-hull inflatable Zodiac boats that guarantee swift and safe landing operations for the passengers. Hondius has two separate gangways and a sheltered indoor Zodiac embarkation platform that can also be used for special outdoor activities, such as kayaking.
Our top priority is taking advantage of every wildlife and terrain opportunity as it occurs. To keep our itineraries flexible itineraries and our response time rapid, Hondius is equipped with advanced stabilizers and two main engines capable of powering the vessel up to 15 knots. But Hondius sacrifices no warmth to achieve its keen polar edge: You will have 72 crew and staff members (including expedition and hotel staff) at your service while on board, ensuring that what little time you do spend on the ship you will spend comfortably entertained.
Day 1: End of the world, start of a journey:
Your voyage begins where the world drops off. Ushuaia, Argentina, reputed to be the southernmost city on the planet, is located on the far southern tip of South America. Starting in the afternoon, you embark from this small resort town on Tierra del Fuego, nicknamed “The End of the World,” and sail the mountain-fringed Beagle Channel for the remainder of the evening.
Day 2: The winged life of the westerlies:
Several species of albatross follow the vessel into the westerlies, along with storm petrels, shearwaters, and diving petrels.
Day 3: Finding the Falklands:
The Falkland (Malvinas) Islands offer an abundance of wildlife that is easily approachable, though caution is always advised. These islands are largely unknown gems, the site of a 1982 war between the UK and Argentina. Not only do various species of bird live here, but chances are great you’ll see both Peale’s dolphins and Commerson’s dolphins in the surrounding waters.During this segment of the voyage, you may visit the following sites:Carcass Island – Despite its name, this island is pleasantly rodent-free and hence bounteous with birdlife. Anything from breeding Magellanic penguins and gentoos to numerous waders and passerine birds (including Cobb’s wrens and tussock-birds) live here.Saunders Island – On Saunders Island you can see the black-browed albatross and its sometimes-clumsy landings, along with breeding imperial shags and rockhopper penguins. King penguins, Magellanic penguins, and gentoos are also found here.
Day 4: The seat of Falklands culture:
The capital of the Falklands and center of its culture, Port Stanley has some Victorian-era charm: colorful houses, well-tended gardens, and English-style pubs are all to be found here. You can also see several century-old clipper ships nearby, silent witnesses to the hardships of 19th century sailors. The small but interesting museum is also worth a visit, covering the early days of settlement up to the Falklands War. Approximately 2,100 people live in Port Stanley. Feel free to wander at will, though be aware that admission fees to local attractions are not included in the voyage.
Days 5 – 6: Once more to the sea:
En route to South Georgia, you now cross the Antarctic Convergence. The temperature cools considerably within the space of a few hours, and nutritious water rises to the surface of the sea due to colliding water columns. This phenomenon attracts a multitude of seabirds near the ship, including several species of albatross, shearwaters, petrels, prions, and skuas.
Days 7 – 10: South Georgia journey:
Today you arrive at the first South Georgia activity site. Please keep in mind that weather conditions in this area can be challenging, largely dictating the program.Over the next several days, you have a chance to visit the following sites:Prion Island – This location is closed during the early part of the wandering albatross breeding season (November 20 – January 7). From January on, the breeding adults have found their partners and are sitting on eggs or nursing their chicks. Enjoy witnessing the gentle nature of these animals, which possess the largest wingspan of any birds in the world.Fortuna Bay – Near beaches inhabited by various penguins and seals, you have the chance to follow the final leg of Shackleton’s route to the abandoned whaling village of Stromness. This path cuts across the mountain pass beyond Shackleton’s Waterfall, and as the terrain is partly swampy, be prepared to cross a few small streams.Salisbury Plain, St. Andrews Bay, Gold Harbour – These sites not only house the three largest king penguin colonies in South Georgia, they’re also three of the world’s largest breeding beaches for southern elephant seals. Only during this time of year do they peak in their breeding cycle. Watch the four-ton bulls keep a constant vigil (and occasionally fight) over territories where dozens of females have just given birth or are about to deliver. You can also see a substantial number of Antarctic fur seals here during the breeding season (December – January).Grytviken – In this abandoned whaling station, king penguins walk the streets and elephant seals lie around like they own the place – because they basically do. Here you might be able to see the South Georgia Museum as well as Shackleton’s grave.
Day 11: Southward bound:
There may be sea ice on this route, and at the edge of the ice some south polar skuas and snow petrels could join the other seabirds trailing the vessel south.
Day 12: The scenic vistas of South Orkney:
Depending on the conditions, you might visit Orcadas Base, an Argentine scientific station on Laurie Island in the South Orkney archipelago. The personnel here will happily show you their facility, where you can enjoy expansive views of the surrounding glaciers. If a visit isn’t possible, you may instead land in Signy Island’s Shingle Cove.
Day 13: Legendary Elephant Island:
You‘ve now completed roughly the same route (albeit in the opposite direction) as Sir Ernest Shackleton did using only a small life boat, the James Caird, in spring of 1916. Watching Elephant Island materialize on the horizon after crossing all that water, it’s hard not to marvel at how he and his five-man crew accomplished that feat. The purpose of Shackleton’s crossing was to rescue 22 shipwrecked members of his Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition, also known as the Endurance Expedition, who were stranded on Elephant Island. For four and a half months, Shackleton undertook this legendary rescue. Conditions on Elephant Island are severe. The coastline is mostly made up of vertical rock and ice cliffs highly exposed to the elements. If possible you will take the Zodiacs to Point Wild, where the marooned members of Shackleton’s expedition miraculously managed to survive.
Day 14: Along the Antarctic Peninsula:
If ice permits, you sail into the Antarctic Sound at the northwestern edge of the Weddell Sea. Here colossal tabular icebergs herald your arrival to the eastern edges of the Antarctic Peninsula. Brown Bluff is a potential location for a landing, where you may get the chance to set foot on the continent.
Day 15: Scenes of South Shetland:
The volcanic islands of the South Shetlands are windswept and often cloaked in mist, but they do offer subtle pleasures: There’s a wide variety of flora (mosses, lichens, flowering grasses) and no small amount of fauna (gentoo penguins, chinstrap penguins, southern giant petrels).In Deception Island, the ship plunges through Neptune’s Bellows and into the flooded caldera. Here you find hot springs, an abandoned whaling station, and thousands of cape petrels – along with kelp gulls, brown and south polar skuas, and Antarctic terns. A good hike is a possibility in this fascinating and desolate volcanic landscape.
Days 16 – 20: Onward into Antarctica:
Gray stone peaks sketched with snow, towers of broken blue-white ice, and unique polar wildlife below and above welcome you into the otherworldly expanse of Antarctica. You enter the area around Gerlache Strait, venturing into one of the most beautiful settings Antarctica has to offer. Sites you may visit here include: Neko Harbour – An epic landscape of mammoth glaciers and endless wind-carved snow, Neko Harbour offers opportunities for a Zodiac cruise and landing that afford the closest views of the surrounding alpine peaks.Paradise Bay – You may be able to take a Zodiac cruise in these sprawling, ice-flecked waters, where there’s a good chance you’ll encounter humpback and minke whales. Pléneau & Petermann Islands – If the ice allows it, you could sail through the Lemaire Channel in search of Adélie penguins and blue-eyed shags. There is also a possibility you’ll encounter humpback and minke whales here, as well as leopard seals.The aim is then to cut south, reaching Crystal Sound and the Antarctic Circle. You may make a landing at Detaille Island and visit an abandoned British research station, taking in the limitless landscape. Afterward you venture back into the area around Lemaire Channel and the Gerlache Strait.As with all of our Antarctic trips, conditions on the Drake Passage determine the exact time of departure.
Days 21 – 22: Familiar seas, familiar friends:
Your return voyage is far from lonely. While crossing the Drake, you’re again greeted by the vast array of seabirds remembered from the passage south. But they seem a little more familiar to you now, and you to them.
Day 23: There and back again:
Every adventure, no matter how grand, must eventually come to an end. It’s now time to disembark in Ushuaia, but with memories that will accompany you wherever your next adventure lies.
All itineraries are for guidance only. Programs may vary depending on local ice, weather, and wildlife conditions. The on-board expedition leader will determine the final itinerary. Flexibility is paramount for expedition cruises. Average cruising speed of m/v Hondius is 10.5 knots .

After years of long waiting, Britney Spears is finally back in music and what better than the hand of Sir Elton John, with whom it is said she has recorded a new version of the successful song of the British singer, ‘Tiny Dancer’.
According to information obtained by Page Six, the pop star, 40, quietly met with John, 75, at a Beverly Hills recording studio last week to record a remake of his beloved 1971 classic.
The track will be released by Universal Music next month, sources close to the performers revealed.
“It was Elton’s idea and Britney is a big fan of him. They’ve recorded a new version of ‘Tiny Dancer’ and it’s amazing. Britney was in the Beverly Hills studio last week with Elton for the super-secret recording session overseen by superproducer Andrew Watt,” the insider said.
Watt, whose studio is in the basement of his home, has produced albums for the likes of Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, Pearl Jam and Ozzy Osbourne and won the 2021 Grammy Award for Producer of the Year.
“They showed the song to the people on their label and they’re all excited. It’s very good. They say it will be the song of the summer. Britney is officially back and is super excited,” the sources added.
Spears has hinted in recent months that she is ready to return to work, after her nearly 12-year guardianship ended in November 2021.
On July 15, the singer shared a video on Instagram of herself singing a bolder new rendition of her 1998 hit, ‘… Baby One More Time’.
“I haven’t shared my voice in a long time… maybe too long,” the singer wrote at the time.
And he added in the post how much he wanted to release an updated version of the song found on his debut album of the same name, but that his plans had been thwarted by his tutelage.
This will be the Grammy winner’s first official single since 2016’s ‘Slumber Party’, which appeared on her album ‘Glory’.
The source warned that Britney’s desire to return is so great that she also made “a record deal” with the label to record with John.
‘Tiny Dancer’ was written by John and Bernie Taupin. It was originally released on John’s 1971 album, ‘Madman Across the Water’, and then as a single in 1972. It was ranked number 47 on Rolling Stone’s list of the 500 greatest songs of all time in 2021.

The word howitzer (referring to a type of cannon) was first borrowed into the English language in a 1695 edition of the London Gazette, where it was spelled hauwitzer. Throughout the 1700s, it was occassionally also spelled hautvitzer, hautwitzer, hawitzer, hawbitzer, hobitzer, and haubitzer, until the modern form became standardized in the nineteenth century. The word comes from German Haubitze, which is from the Czech word houfnice, meaning "catapult" (this term was introduced to the Germans during the Hussite Wars in the 1400s). -Nice served as a nominal suffix; the root is houf, which usually would translate to "crowd" but here meant "heap" (as in the catapult's payload). Ultimately, that traces to Proto-Germanic haupaz and Proto-Indo-European hupo, with the same definitions.

As the largest incarcerator in the world, the United States is a wonderful place to own a prison contracting company. It is also apparently a great place to run a prison contracting company that is actually a REIT. Corrections Corp of America (NYSE:CXW) raised its earnings guidance for the fourth quarter and full year on Friday, along with confirmation that the company is changing its corporate structure to becoming a real estate investment trust. If you can persuade your socially conscious side to go outside and take a walk around the block, this may be a good time to pick up a company with all winds blowing its way.
For those uninitiated in the world of corrections contracting, these companies operate the majority of the United States’ famed prison system. They can do as little as provide food and hospitality (not sure if that’s the word) services to owning the land underneath the concrete. While not likely to ever come within a light-year of the World’s Most Conscious Companies list, these are incredibly lucrative businesses that have about the best possible industry environment. In addition to receiving government subsidies, these companies have access to seriously cheap labor (yes, that’s exactly what you think that means). These stocks are part real estate play, part industrial cash-printer, part hotelier (in the North Korean sense of the word).
Traditionally, companies like Corrections Corporation of America and the The GEO Group, Inc. (NYSE:GEO) have operated as your average incorporated entity. But there’s a new trend afoot as of recently — they’re switching over to REITs. What does this mean for investors? Big, fat dividends complimented by potentially decent capital appreciation. GEO already pays a chunky 6% dividend, and CCA currently pays a little over 2%. You can expect that number to rise though as the company is confirmed to attain REIT status, meaning 90% of its earnings will go out in the form of a check to shareholders.
CCA isn’t just for the income investor, either. It’s a growing company with tailwinds galore.
A seriously wide-moat business
I’m not sure if any prisons in the U.S. literally have moats, but the companies that run them sure do. These companies are deep in the cogs of the U.S. prison complex and have a very comfortable relationship with the government. It shows up on the income statement, too.
CCA bumped its fourth-quarter EPS estimates by a penny to $0.44 from $0.43. The consensus for Street estimates is $0.41. For the full year, the company is also raising its EPS estimates by a penny to $1.57.

Research from countries in different regions of the world documents an undeniable link between VAW and HIV infection. The relationship between VAW and HIV risk is complex, and involves multiple pathways, in which violence serves both as a driver of the epidemic, and at times a consequence of being HIV positive. Rape is one potential cause of direct infection with HIV through violence for some women. However, the primary burden of HIV risk from VAW and gender inequality arises through longer-acting indirect risk pathways. These involve both chronically abusive relationships where women are repeatedly exposed to the same perpetrator, as well as the long-term consequences of violence for women who have experienced prior, but not necessarily ongoing, exposure to violence (in childhood or as adults).
Addressing both VAW and gender inequality jointly in programmes will contribute to effective HIV prevention. Such synergistic linking forms an important element of effective combination prevention for HIV. Effective HIV-prevention programmes must address key elements of the context that gives rise to HIV risk, in order to have lasting impact. Any long-term solution to VAW and/or HIV prevention therefore requires addressing the social context and the gender inequalities that form a core element of this context. Gender inequality can be addressed at different levels and through different approaches – the strongest synergy is often achieved by intervening on multiple levels simultaneously, using coordinated strategies that are mutually reinforcing.

1989 cold case closed after suspect ID'd in investigation
Houma, LA – A 27-year-old homicide investigation into the death of Gerald Daigle has been closed following an investigation by the Louisiana State Police Criminal Investigators and multiple partner agencies.
On June 15, 1989, Daigle was found in his place of business, Standard Furniture in Houma. He had been stabbed to death in an apparent robbery. The murder was initially investigated by the Houma Police Department.

During the commission of the crime, the killer dropped a pair of sunglasses bearing a partial fingerprint at the scene. Detectives also located a shoe print made by the killer. The evidence was collected, but a suspect could not be matched to the fingerprint and the case went unsolved.
In 2012, the Terrebonne Parish District Attorney’s Office contacted the LSP Criminal Investigation Division in Houma to assist with the investigation. Troopers worked with Houma PD investigators to develop new leads and suspects.
One of the suspects was Bryan Wolfe, born June 7, 1960, who was living in Houma at the time of the murder.
Wolfe was known to commit robberies in the area to support a drug habit, and he had an active arrest warrant for robbery at the time of the murder. Investigators learned Wolfe was convicted of capital murder in Beaumont, Texas on Feb. 15, 1992 for the killing of Bertha Lemell during a robbery.
Wolfe had been sentenced to death for the murder and was executed by the State of Texas on May 18, 2005.
In 2016, investigators developed additional information identifying Wolfe as the primary suspect. Troopers resubmitted Wolfe’s fingerprints for analysis, and, using technology not previously available, it was determined Wolfe’s fingerprint positively matched the partial print from the sunglasses left at the scene.
Other information developed by investigators included matching the shoe print to a particular style and size of shoe that Wolfe was known to regularly wear.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security-Houma Office, Terrebonne Parish District Attorney’s Office, Houma Police Department, Louisiana State Police Crime Laboratory, Louisiana State Police Criminal Records and Texas Department of Public Safety also assisted with the investigation.
“By never giving up on this case, all of the investigators from the different agencies involved performed at a level that went above and beyond,” Col. Mike Edmonson, LSP superintendent, said. “Louisiana State Police are extremely pleased that we could assist with giving some closure to this painful and tragic memory for the Daigle family. We are also thankful for the Crime Lab that strives daily to keep up with technology. By doing so, they are able to assist with cases to help bring to justice those who commit horrible crimes, such as this one, that can go unresolved for years.”

Our new companion, 1.5 year old Star, was brought home from a local humane society. Since we know there has to be trauma involved in her ending up in the humane society and in the adoption process, we elected to start her on this product immediately. Well, after 1 week, we saw her start to blossom into a playful and loving cat. She seems to be really at ease in her new environment. Thanks Jackson for your wonderful Holistic Solutions. We always spread the word about them. Even our Vet is now a believer!
My girl Stella kitty, 6 years old, became skittish after an incident in our bedroom. She and her partner Cleo, 13 years old, flew on top of us in bed and scratched my husband's face, knocked over the side table light. Shadows everywhere. She instantly became skittish, didn't like shadows, cowered in the corner. Scared of noises and quick moves. We were at a loss on what to do. No prescription meds for our girl. We tried Spirit Essences Trauma-Free. It really worked and we were so relieved. We put the essence on the nape of her neck consistently for two weeks. We were so relieved -- she is back to her normal self. Thank you.
My cat Sophie had a bladder tear after a cystocentesis, went into shock & was rushed to the emerg clinic. Vets did not expect her to live. 7 days later, after ICU hook-up to monitors, she was discharged home. Recouping a couple of weeks then we noticed unusual behaviour: attacking the other cats & growling/hissing at her humans, tendency to hide or remain on her own. Was mean towards her littermate-brother; they adore each other. Heard about a cat Jackson helped with the post trauma of being trapped in a house fire; that cat suffered from PTSD & my Sophie had been through a terror filled event herself. Put her on Trauma-Free essences & she started to settle down. Sometimes has the "urge" to hiss when being pilled, she is much more relaxed & confident & out of her room that had been her quiet retreat. Trauma-Free is credited to minimizing the huge stresses.
my cat was given up because she's diabetic and went through a shelter and several fosters. We stabilized the blood sugar with insulin but she would wail for food as if she was in pain nd scour the counters eating whatever she could find and was aggressive toward one of the other cats. with this remedy she is calm, no crying and is even playful at times. she tolerates the other cat most times but still needs to be watched but i wouldn't go a day without this remedy for both our sakes! ps: we tried bully remedy with no luck, and stress stopper helped to a lesser degree but we tried this one and it worked, so never give up!
I am fostering a blind and deaf kitten that was rescued by a friend of mine. We have no idea what he went through but he was very scared so I ordered Trauma-free. I've been using it for about a week and he is much less fearful and jumpy. I still can't pet him but hope that with time, he will become a wonderful pet.

One of the most remarkable things about the julia programming language, is how well the packages compose. You can almost always reuse someone else’s types or methods in your own software without issues. This is generally taken on a high level to be true of all programming languages because that is what a library is. However, experienced software engineers often note that its surprisingly difficult in practice to take something from one project and use it in another without tweaking. But in the julia ecosystem this seems to mostly work. This post explores some theories on why; and some loose recommendations to future language designers.
This blog post is based on a talk I was invited to give at the 2020 F(by) conference. This blog post is a bit ad-hoc in its ordering and content because of its origin as a talk. I trust the reader will forgive me.
The video is below, you can watch the talk, or read the post or both. They are basically the same content, some questions I got at the end are answered in the post at the appropriate places.
Parts of this post (and the talk) are inspired by Stefan Karpinski’s “The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Multiple Dispatch” talk at JuliaCon 2019. I recommend that video, it goes into more details on some of the multiple dispatch points, and the subtle (but important) difference between julia’s dispatch and C++’s virtual methods.
What do I mean by composable?
- If you want to add tracking of measurement error to a scalar number, you shouldn’t have to say anything about how your new type interacts with arrays (Measurements.jl)
- If you have a Differential Equation solver, and a Neural Network library, then you should just be able to have neural ODEs (DifferentialEquations.jl / Flux.jl)
- If you have a package to add names to the dimensions of an array, and one to put arays on the GPU, then you shouldn’t have to write code to have named arrays on the GPU (NamedDims.jl / CUArrays.jl)
Why is julia this way?
My theory is that julia code is so reusable, not just because the language has some great features, but also because of the particular features that are weak or missing.
Missing features like:
- Weak conventions about namespace pollution
- Never got around to making it easy to use local modules, outside of packages
- A type system that can’t be used to check correctness
But that these are countered by, or allow for other features:
- Strong convention about talking to other people
- Very easy to create packages
- Duck-typing, and multiple dispatch, together
Julia namespacing is used in a leaky way
Common advice when loading code from another module in most language communities is:
only import what you need.
using Foo: a, b c
Common practice in julia is to do:
which imports everything that the author of
Foo marked to be exported.
You don’t have to, but it’s common.
But what happens if one has a pair of packages:
and one does:
using Foo using Bar training_data, test_data = ... mbar = BarModel(training_data) mfoo = FooModel(training_data) evaluate(predict(mbar), test_data) evaluate(predict(mfoo), test_data)
If you have multiple
usings trying to bring the same name into scope,
then julia throws an error, since it can’t work out which to use.
As a user you can tell it what to use.
evaluate(Bar.predict(mbar), test_data) evaluate(Foo.predict(mfoo), test_data)
But the package authors can solve this:
There is no name collision if both names overloaded are from the same namespace.
Bar are overloading
StatsBase.predict everything works.
using StatsBase # exports predict using Foo # overloads `StatsBase.predict(::FooModel) using Bar # overloads `StatsBase.predict(::BarModel) training_data, test_data = ... mbar = BarModel(training_data) mfoo = FooModel(training_data) evaluate(predict(mbar), test_data) evaluate(predict(mfoo), test_data)
This encourages people to work together
Name collisions make package authors come together and create base packages (like
StatsBase) and agree on what the functions mean.
They don’t have to, since the user can still solve it, but it encourages the practice. Thus we have package authors thinking about how other packages might be used with theirs.
Package authors can even overload functions from multiple namespaces if you want;
e.g. all of
Which might all have slightly different interfaces targetting different use cases.
Its easier to create a package than a local module.
Many languages have one module per file,
and you can load that module e.g. via
from your current directory.
You can make this work in julia also, but it is surprisingly fiddly.
What is easy however, is to create and use a package.
What does making a local module generally give you?
- The feeling you are doing good software engineering
- Easier to transition later to a package
What does making a julia package give you?
- All the above plus
- Standard directory structure,
- Managed dependencies, both what they are, and what versions
- Easy re-distributivity – harder to have local state
- Test-able using package manager’s
pkg> test MyPackage
The recommended way to create packages also ensures:
- Continuous Integration(/s) Setup
- Code coverage
- Documentation setup
- License set
Testing julia code is important.
Julia uses a JIT compiler, so even compilation errors don’t arrive until run-time. As a dynamic language the type system says very little about correctness.
Testing julia code is important. If code-paths are not covered in tests there is almost nothing in the language itself to protect them from having any kind of error.
So it’s important to have Continuous Integration and other such tooling set up.
Trivial package creation is important
Many people who create julia packages are not traditional software developers; e.g. a large portion are academic researchers. People who don’t think of themselves as “Developers” are less inclined to take the step to turn their code into a package.
Recall that many julia package authors are graduate students who are trying to get their next paper complete. Lots of scientific code never gets released, and lots of the code that does never gets made usable for others. But if they start out writing a package (rather than a local module that just works for their script) then it is already several steps closes to being released. Once it is a package people start thinking more like package authors, and start to consider how it will be used.
It’s not a silver bullet but it is one more push in the right direction.
Multiple Dispatch + Duck-typing
Assume it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, and if it doesn’t fix that.
Julia’s combination of duck-typing with multiple dispatch is quite neat. It lets us have support for any object that meets the implict interface expected by a function (duck-typing); while also having a chance to handle it as a special-case if it doesn’t (multiple dispatch). In a fully extensible way.
This pairs to the weakness of julia in its lack of a static type system. A static type system’s benefits comes from ensuring interfaces are met at compile time. This largely makes in-compatible with duck-typing. (There are other interesting options in this space though, e.g. Structural Typing.)
The example in this section will serve to illustrate how duck-typing and multiple dispatch give the expressivity that is escential for composability.
Aside: Open Classes
Another closely related factor is Open Classes. But I’m not going to talk about that today, I recommend finding other resources on it. Such as Eli Bendersky’s blog post on the expression problem. You need to allow new methods to be added to existing classes. Some languages (e.g. Java) require that methods literally be placed inside the same file as the class. This means there is no way to add methods in another code-base, even unrelated ones.
We would like to use some code from a library
Consider I might have a type from the Ducks library.
and I have some code I want to run, that I wrote:
Lets give it a try:
3 Adult ducks, 2 Baby ducks: Input:
Great, it works
Ok now I want to extend it with my own type. A Swan
Lets test with just 1 first:
The Waddle was right, but Swans don’t Quack.
We did some duck-typing – Swans walk like ducks, but they don’t talk like ducks.
We can solve that with single dispatch.
Great, now lets try a whole farm of Swans:
That’s not right. Swans do not lead their young to water.
They carry them
Once again we can solve this with single dispatch.
Now I want a Farm with mixed poultry.
2 Ducks, a Swan, and 2 baby swans
Thats not right again.
We had a Duck raising a baby Swan, and it lead the baby Swan to water.
If you know about raising poultry, then you will know: Ducks given baby Swans to raise, will just abandon them.
But how will we code this?
Option 1: Rewrite the Duck
Rewriting the Duck has problems
- Have to edit someone else’s library, to add support for my type.
- This could mean adding a lot of code for them to maintain.
- Does not scale, what if other people wanted to add Chickens, Geese etc.
- If the language supports monkey patching, could do it that way.
- but it means copying their code into my library, will run into issues like not being able to update.
- Scaled to other people adding new types even worse, since no longer a central canonical source to copy.
Variant: could fork their code
- That is giving up on code reuse.
There are engineering solutions around this.
Design patterns allow one to emulate features a language doesn’t have.
For example the
Duck could allow for one to
register behaviour with a given baby animal,
which is basically adhoc runtime multiple dispatch.
But this would require the
Duck to be rewritten this way.
Option 2: Inherit from the Duck
(NB: this example is not valid julia code)
Inheriting from the Duck has problems:
- Have to replace every
Duckin my code-base with
- If I am using other libraries that might return a
DuckI have to deal with that also
- Again there are design patterns that can help, like using Dependency Injection to control how all
Ducksare created. But now all libraries have to be rewritten to use it.
Still does not scale:
If someone else implements
DuckWithChickenSupport, and I want to use both their code and mine, what do I do?
- Inherit from both?
- This is the classic multiple inheritance Diamond Problem.
- It’s hard. Even in languages supporting multiple inheritance, they may not support it in a useful way for this without me writing special cases for many things.
Option 3: Multiple Dispatch
This is clean and easy:
Trying it out:
Are there real-world use cases for Multiple Dispatch ?
Turns out there are.
The need to extend operations to act on new combinations of types shows up all the time in scientific computing. I suspect it shows up more generally, but we’ve learned to ignore it.
If you look at a list of BLAS methods you will see just this encoded in the function name E.g.
SGEMM- matrix matrix multiply
SSYMM- symmetric-matrix matrix multiply
ZHBMV- complex hermitian-banded-matrix vector multiply
And turns out people keep wanting to make more and more matrix types.
- Block Matrix
- Banded Matrix
- Block Banded Matrix (where the band is made up of blocks)
- Banded Block Banded Matrix (where the band is made up of blocks that are themselved banded).
That is before other things you might like to do to a Matrix, which you’d like to encode in its type:
- Running on a GPU
- Tracking Operations for AutoDiff
- Naming dimensions, for easy lookup
- Distributing over a cluster
These are all important and show up in crucial applications. When you start applying things across disciplines, they show up even more. Like advancements in Neural Differential Equations, which needs:
- all the types machine learning research has invented,
- and all the types differential equation solving research has invented,
and wants to use them together.
So its not a reasonable thing for a numerical language to say that they’ve enumerated all the matrix types you might ever need.
Inserting a human into the JIT
Basic functionality of an Tracing JIT:
- Detect important cases via tracing
- Compile specialized methods for them
This is called specialization.
Basic functionality of julia’s JIT:
- Specialize all methods on all types that they are called on as they are called
This is pretty good: it is a reasonable assumption that the types are going to an important case.
What does multiple dispatch add on top of julia’s JIT?
It lets a human tell it how that specialization should be done. Which can add a lot of information.
Consider Matrix multiplication.
- multiply rows by columns and sum.
- Takes $O(n^3)$ time
- column-wise/row-wise scaling.
- $O(n^2)$ time.
- column-wise/row-wise slicing.
- $O(n)$ time.
- no change.
- $O(1)$ time.
Anyone can have basic fast array processing by throwing the problem to BLAS, or a GPU.
But not everyone has Array types that are parametric on their scalar types; and the ability to be equally fast in both.
Without this, your array code, and your scalar code can not be disentangled.
BLAS for example does not have this. It has a unique code for each combination of scalar and matrix type.
With this separation, one can add new scalar types:
- Dual numbers
- Measurement Error tracking numbers
- Symbolic Algebra numbers
Without ever having to touch array code, except as a late-stage optimization.
Otherwise, one needs to implement array support into one’s scalars, to have reasonable performance at all.
It is good to invent new languages
People need to invent new languages. It’s a good time to be inventing new languages. It’s good for the world. It’s good for me because I like cool new things.
I’d just really like those new languages to please have:
- Multiple dispatch, to:
- allow for extension via whatever special case is needed in separate packages. (E.g. The Duck will lead a baby duck to water, but will abandon a baby swan)
- Include allowing domain knowledge to be added (Like the matrix multiplication examples)
- Open classes:
- so you can create new methods in your package for types/functions declared in another package
- Array types that are parametric on their scalar types, at the type level
- So that array-code and scalar-code do not need to be entangled for performance.
- A package management solution built-in, that everyone uses.
- because it makes for consistent tooling and a multiplicative effect on software standard.
- Like everyone in the julia community writing tests and using CI.
- Not jumping straight onto 1 namespace per file, isolate everything, bandwagon.
- Namespace clashes are not that bad
- Its worth considering what the value of namespaces is: not just “Namespaces are one honking great idea – let’s do more of those!”

It's possible to get or download caterpillar-wiring diagram from several websites. If you take a close look at the diagram you will observe the circuit includes the battery, relay, temperature sensor, wire, and a control, normally the engine control module. With an extensive collection of electronic symbols and components, it's been used among the most completed, easy and useful wiring diagram drawing program. Solid State Relay Diagram Pump. The wiring diagram on the opposite hand is particularly beneficial to an outside electrician. Sometimes wiring diagram may also refer to the architectural wiring program. The simplest approach to read a home wiring diagram is to begin at the source, or the major power supply. Basically, the home wiring diagram is simply utilized to reveal the DIYer where the wires are.
If you can't locate the information, get in touch with the manufacturer. The info in the diagram doesn't indicate a power or ground supply. The intention of the fuse is to safeguard the wiring and electrical components on its circuit. A typical watch's basic objective is to tell you the good time of day. When selecting the best type of computer cable to fulfill your requirements, it is very important to consider your upcoming technology plans.
Installing a tachometer on your Vehicles can assist in preventing critical repair problems, however. You might have a weak ground issue. The way the brain learns is a subject that still requires a good deal of study. How it learns can be associated by how it is able to create memories.
In a parallel circuit, each unit is directly linked to the power supply, so each system gets the exact voltage. There are 3 basic sorts of standard light switches. The circuit needs to be checked with a volt tester whatsoever points. Solid State Relay Diagram Pump. Each circuit displays a distinctive voltage condition. You are able to easily step up the voltage to the necessary level utilizing an inexpensive buck-boost transformer and steer clear of such issues. The voltage is the sum of electrical power produced by the battery. Be sure that the new fuse isn't blown, and carries the very same amperage.
Each fuse is going to have a suitable amp rating for those devices it's protecting. The wiring is merely a bit complicated. Our automotive wiring diagrams permit you to relish your new mobile electronics in place of spend countless hours attempting to work out which wires goes to which Ford part or component. Overall the wiring is really straight forward. There's a lot wiring that you've got to tie into your truck's wiring harness, but it's much easier to do than it seems. A ground wire offers short circuit protection and there's no neutral wire used. There's one particular wire leading from the distributor which may be used for the tachometer.
When you have just a single cable going into the box, you're at the close of the run, and you've got the simplest scenario possible. All trailer plugs and sockets are extremely easy to wire. The adapter has the essential crosslinks between the signals. Wiring a 7-pin plug on your truck can be a bit intimidating when you're looking at it from beyond the box.

Then there's also a fuse box that's for the body controls that is situated under the dash. Solid State Relay Diagram Pump. You will find that every circuit has to have a load and every load has to have a power side and a ground side. Make certain that the transformer nameplate power is enough to supply the load that you're connecting.
The bulb has to be in its socket. Your light can be wired to the receiver and don't require supply additional capacity to light as it can get power from receiver. In the event the brake lights aren't working, a police officer may block the vehicle and issue a warning to create the repair within a particular time limit. Even though you would still must power the relay with a power source or battery. Verify the power is off before trying to attach wires. In case it needs full capacity to begin, it won't operate in any way.
Replacing thermostat on your own without a Denver HVAC technician can be quite harrowing if you don't hook up the wiring correctly. After the plumbing was cut out, now you can get rid of the old pool pump. It's highly recommended to use a volt meter to make sure there is no voltage visiting the motor, sometimes breakers do not get the job done properly, also you might have turned off the incorrect breaker. Remote distance is left up to 500m. You may use a superior engine ground. The second, that's the most frequently encountered problem, is a weak ground in the computer system. Diagnosing an electrical short can be extremely tough and costly.

Energy drinks promise to give people a quick boost in alertness and stamina, but those small, short-term benefits seem to be outweighed by potentially serious long-term health effects related to their use, according to a newly-published study on the drinks.
Energy Drinks and Their Toll on the Body
Energy drinks usually get their kick from the excessive sugar and caffeine they contain. Now, a recently released study shows that consuming high amounts of those ingredients can lead to obesity, diabetes, kidney damage, high blood pressure, tooth decay, and fatigue. It might also result in mental health problems such as addiction, anxiety, and risk-seeking behavior.
“The wide range of conditions that energy drinks can negatively impact was quite astounding,” noted study co-author Josiemer Mattei, Ph.D., of Harvard’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
The study, which was released in Frontiers in Public Health, was a review of previous studies conducted on the potential health effects of these popular beverages.
While the American Heart Association recommends no more than 36 grams of sugar per day for men, a typical energy drink can have over 50 grams. It may also contain up to 100 milligrams of caffeine per ounce, which is eight times more than a cup of coffee.
Some energy drinks may also have ingredients that aren’t listed on the label. According to Beth Warren, author of “Living a Real Life With Real Food”, energy drink producers can get away with not listing ingredients because their products are considered dietary supplements, which means that the FDA only loosely regulates them.
Mattei believes that sales of the drinks to minors should be restricted. He also considers that their caffeine content should be appropriately regulated.
Given what the latest studies show, not consuming that next energy drink is likely to be very good for one’s future health, claim the researchers.
