I was recently emailed by someone looking for the newest University of Michigan employee salary data, as this website was the first place to post the data in an electronic format. (The Michigan Daily has for years published a special print “supplement” at the end of the school year.) I noticed the Daily has posted the data for 2005-2006, but unfortunately they’ve just uploaded the huge, 8 megabyte spreadsheet in apparently the same format it was provided them by the university. I remember seeing a website somewhere where someone had made this data searchable, but don’t have the link handy – if someone else does please leave a comment.
Here’s the data:

Our CEO was recently featured on Sky News speaking about the worrying plan to put asylum seekers in RAF Scampton.
Detention centers are the Home Office’s heartless response to people seeking safety. The news regarding Scampton alarming because it is a further criminalisation of people coming to the UK to seek safety, as we saw with Napier Barracks and the Manston processing center.
Instead of the Government engaging NGOs and organisations directly working with people seeking safety, in order to create local compassionate solutions that allow people seeking safety to be welcomed into the community, the Government has chosen to isolate them by putting them in detention centers. These detention centers become a beacon for the far right, as we have seen with the protests outside of hotels, and also act to isolate and severely restrict the liberty of people seeking safety.

Award-winning radio presenter Ryan O’Connor, or “ROC’ as he is affectionately known, has joined the HEART FM team to bring listeners an all new Drive show on weekdays from 3pm to 6pm.
O’ Connor’s is well-known to Capetonians and has dominated the airwaves for twenty-one years on some of the Mother City’s best loved radio stations. If you live in Cape Town and aren’t familiar with his smooth voice, infectious laugh and generous heart, surely, you’ve been living under a ROC after all these years!
His appointment to HEART FM is part of the station’s “shake-up” to the line up with some exciting changes as of March 1.
“Magic happens when change occurs, and I can’t wait to bring something new to Heart FM”, says O’Connor about his move.
For those who were fans of the Drive show, O’Connor promises to ensure a sense of familiarity – he wants listeners to feel the show is familiar but different. The co-hosts of the Drive show stay the same, with Jeremy Harris reporting on sports updates and Jo-Dee Butler reporting on traffic news.
Ryan takes over from the effervescent host, SUGA, who will now ‘own’ the mid-morning time slot from 9am-12pm. This promises to be an exciting backdrop to the workday with regular features and lifestyle content to keep the energy levels elevated. The latest in entertainment news, fashion crazes, gourmet trends and feel good stories, as brought to you by this gorgeous radio veteran.
In other changes, JP Carelse will host the “Wake-Up”, from Monday to Friday, between 4am and 6am. His energy and love for life, music and talk will get the morning started and keep listeners energised for the day ahead.
The ever popular Lunga Singama entertains listeners from 6pm-10pm, Monday to Thursday where he delivers on his musical promise of great hits and recaps hot topics of the day. Diggy Bongz ends off the day with his “Late night” show from 10pm-1am.

I wonder what Chinua Achebe would say if he were alive to see the holocaust at Nnewi last Christmas season. Not much of a poet, Achebe mused on the bitter paradox of tragedy at Christmas in his poem, Christmas in Biafra.
Bedevilled by adjectives, Achebe’s poem made its point in irony. God and disaster. Solemnity and profanity. Festivity and fragility. Tears to the dearest. That was Biafra in which a child pruned to bare bones could not find the strength to hail Mary. No one could extract native joy from bombs.
Fast forward, December 2015. A different kind of unkindness. Chicason, a company whose services routinely warmed the homes and bellies of its customers, met tragedy. The victims might have visualised many scenarios at Christmas: cookouts, parties, family reunions, laughter, jokes, music, dances, frothy moments of alcohol, swagger. Especially in the Southeast where the Christmas season lights up every village and hamlet into a carnival.
Yet, many marked their Christmas season like the woman who had sent a housemaid to get some gas. The maid was recruited only three months earlier. The boss was not sure where she was. She only knew she had lost the poor girl and wondered what she was going to tell her parents. At the Christmas party, she would not be there. Her seat vacant, staring and ominous. It would be the story for all those who either died or were hospitalised. Their seats were empty, their presences only imagined. It was inevitably an absurd moment. It calls to mind the absurd play titled ‘The Chairs’ by Romanian-French playwright Eugene Ionesco. An old couple receive invisible guests at their homes, and they all are seated in chairs expecting an orator to address them. The audience does not see them. Only the hosts. That is how the relatives will mark both Christmas season and New Year.
The problem, as Ionesco’s play shows, is that imagination will not bring the guests alive. No one could wish them on their seat in flesh, fork in hand, plates of rice and chicken in front of them. We cannot see the victims of the Nnewi disaster. They have retreated into memory. All kinds of stories were invented to fill the void, just as in Ionesco’s play. For what we cannot see or explain, we invent fillers. Some said the Chicason group had fallen victim of its sacrilegious prosperity. It had expanded into the province of the goddess of the Mimili Ele River. The goddess in its fury had slithered into the gas plant and fiddled it into a leak. A spark ensued. Death, disaster. This was a big agony. But the Chenobyl disaster in the 1980’s where a nuclear plant leak obliterated whole Soviet communities warns us that gas can be man’s great enemy. If you read Svetlana Alexievich, the Nobel Prize-winning journalist’s account of that incident in her book, Voices From Chenobyl, we should never take care for granted.
Others said a prayer session had happened earlier and a pastor had forewarned of a disaster. So, are the gods to blame, a la Ola Rotimi? We give prophesies flesh after the facts. When they don’t happen, we give ourselves credit. The prophets do no wrong.
No one was able to say what Chicason did to offend the gods or the Lord of Christmas. It offended neither law nor man, but fire came in its fury. No one wondered why a big commercial hub like Nnewi could thrive without a major fire station.
Few could tell us how, in the whole of Anambra State, only one major fire station thrives. Few have lamented that fire is a special corollary of development. Not a place like Nnewi should be allowed a second without the full gear to fight one of humanity’s major foes. Nnewi has a variety of businesses from cars to electronics to food to pharmaceutical. It is seen as an epicentre of the Igbo inventiveness. Many turn profits out of bonfires, whether it is the Chicason company, or the cell phone makers, or car battery firms. A fire begins with a spark. The spark in this case comes from neglect, the failure to provide the infrastructure of safety. As Robert Herrick notes, “A spark neglected makes a mighty fire.”
The reports had it that the fire department came all the way from Awka, Anambra State capital. It took about two hours to arrive at the scene of the holocaust. Too late. The pictures are scary. Fumes darken the air. In brilliant omens, fire burns structures while human bones pop and flesh singes. Many scurry away in fright. Bodies fall and the bush, as in the war that lasted 30 months in the 1960’s, become refuge.
Is this tragedy a story of complacency? As one of the city dwellers said, if the disaster happens today, Anambra State is still not ready. It is like the apocalypse. Earth residents know it is coming. They cannot prepare. They cannot pray. They cannot run away. They can only develop stoic reserves and hedge themselves with fatalistic resolves. The day comes and disaster will happen. As Thomas Hardy wrote in his novel, Tess of the Durbervilles, ”The people down in those retreats will not stop saying in their fatalistic way: It was to be. There lay the pity of it all.” That is what Nnewi, Anambra, is subjected to. That tragically is the story of Nigeria.
They can learn from Lagos, where every local government hums with state-of-the-art fire equipment. In spite of the plethora of fire incidents in Nigeria’s largest city, fire hoses spout water and the men respond in good time. That does not mean tragedies cannot happen. Fire does not wait for anyone. Like water, it is a good servant. But to quote a line from the Aesop Fables, it’s a “bad master.” Corporate firms are now asking the Lagos State government to help them in establishing fire-fighting systems.
When fire of this sort happens, individual companies anywhere have inadequate facility to fight it. That is why anywhere in the world, fire stations are nearby. In the United States, every county has one. When it is a mega fire like the Nnewi case, they get help from other counties. That can happen in Lagos. But in a place like Anambra State, where one station can only limp, the situation calls for urgent attention.

Who started it? former banker Rakhee Shah. In 2012, having spent eight years in private banking in Kenya, London and Hong Kong, the fashion-loving Shah decided to follow her heart and launch her own label, Maisha Concept. A third-generation Kenyan by birth and Indian by blood, Shah grew up surrounded by the rich colours and fabrics of Africa, the inspiration for her stunning collections.
Why we love it: Shah sources fabrics for Maisha, which means "life" in Swahili, from manufacturers and artisans in Africa and India. The latest collection, Eastern Paradise, is inspired by the beauty of the East African savannah and features rich fabrics and modern designs.
What we'd pick: the Kenyan Tweed blazer (far right; HK$1,200) would be a good choice for the coming change of season but, if you really want to get noticed, then you might want to consider the Zulu Madman dress (right centre; also HK$1,200). Another standout is the Shanghai Twist top in bottle green (right; HK$1,000), which blends Chinese designs with African fabrics.
Where can you get it? Maisha Concept is available at 2/F, Lee Wah Mansion, 171 Hollywood Road, Sheung Wan, tel: 6576 8394; by appointment only; and through www.shopdescreateurs.com.

“Well, it has been a pleasure to finally see the other and true side of Calcutta. The side of the true connoisseurs and appreciators of world-class culinary and also the true side of a properly running, well organised restaurant operation like Afraa. That regardless of the challenges that the city itself offers, still such an operation permits chefs like me to execute magical nights like the one on Saturday.
The staff was very professional and eager to see Europe in the making in their own kitchen, and very humble to accept the indications and suggestions of a demanding culinary event, where every detail was extremely important. Colours, flavour profiles, combinations of textures and temperatures and visual balances in the plate were understood and operated by this wonderful staff. Indeed, a true operation that I am proud to have been a part of at least for 24 hours.
And of course many great opportunities of collaboration and consultancy have come out of this wonderful night, where I had as an added value the pleasure to meet interesting guests and relevant personalities; all wonderful people. All in all, a magical and successful culinary night for Afraa and Calcutta!”
king of the kitchen
How the afraa hosts and some of their 12 guests loved the saturday night special
“It was one of the most memorable gourmet experiences. In terms of the presentation, the look, the minimalist feel. Especially the non-veg (items) were so exotic. All the guests who ate non-veg were completely going overboard. The whole meal was like a delicacy. What was also interesting was the kind of people who were there; the kind who understand food and enjoy it. They have tasted the best of food all over the world.
The chef is very talented and passionate about his work. His was like a performance at the table. The non-vegetarians loved the lamb, scallop and prawns. I loved everything; the desserts in particular. It was absolutely amazing. The mousse was the lightest mousse I have ever had.”
“The variety was quite amazing. It was unusual, not the kind of food that we normally eat. Very subtle flavours. I am not a wine guy…I don’t drink really, but he was trying to match the wine with the food…that was interesting. I tasted a little bit of wine. It was interesting how it was conceptualised. The presentation was very interesting. I really liked the aubergine dish.”
“It was very special to be there. It was an intimate group. The conversation, the ambience, it was all so beautiful. And the food was outstanding.”
“It was a very interesting mix of intellect, glamour, fashion, controversy and great food. The food was very different from what the Calcutta palate knows. It was wholesome, nutritious, delicious, low on carbs and high on content. The food was not spicy, but the attitude and conversation was! Like any other Michelin chef, Gianfranco was busy outdoing himself. He explained what he served with each course. Most ordinary things were converted into extraordinary dishes. Calcutta needs to do more such sit-down dinners.”
“The food was delicious. The lamb was tender and delectable — something I don’t often find. So it was a special treat.”
-Beth A. Payne
“A lovingly prepared classical Italian dinner presented with apposite aplomb — like a sublime symphony — with the right wine to accompany every phase. In sum, a fine-dining experience that was truly memorable.”
“It was an amazing culinary experience. He got cold sauces, meat and fish and combined it with hot food. It was really good and in this weather especially, I liked that touch. Each platter was like a piece of art and all of them were done to perfection. The colours were appealing. I loved all the dishes. He had done a Basil Ricotta, that was very good. The lamb was done to perfection. The wine pairing was good...”

Overview of ABC collaboration with Gus Russo to keep the myth about Lee Harvey Oswald alive.
[Holland's] analysis ... is fated to be washed away under a tsunami of recent scholarship ... Rooted in documents declassified in the wake of the public's reaction to Oliver Stone's film JFK, academics and researchers have discovered that the real JFK, despite his considerable flaws, was worlds away from the hawkish clown of Holland's (and Cockburn's) imagination, writes Gary Aguilar.
Jim DiEugenio looks closely at the record of one of the earliest critics, Edward Epstein, and questions whether he was ever a critic at all. Epstein's later work showed him to be little more than a wonk for the establishment. So how good was his first book, Inquest? DiEugenio answers that and other questions about Epstein, and talks about Epstein's work with the CIA and notably, James Angleton.
Jim DiEugenio writes about reporter Gus Russo and how he became a corporate mouthpiece when reporting about the JFK assassination.
Because of his writings on the Kennedy assassination in the Post, New York Times, and his book Scandals, Scamps, and Scoundrels, many have harbored suspicions about Phelan's independence as a writer. What makes him even more suspicious is the company he has kept throughout the years, writes Jim DiEugenio.

Actually the rotor dial was fine but it was manual which meant getting up, flip the switch to the desired computer, sit down, etc.. Standing up and sitting down has become harder as my Parkinson's has progressed, but actually the reason for switching was since it was a mechanical, something somewhere was no longer making a connection, and when it did connect it did some strange thing to the monitor image, until it got so bad I went in search of a new box. The IOGEAR was cheap enough so I went with my first , electronic KVM box -- now I don't even have to have to reach somewhere to punch a button, everything is done right from the keyboard: Entering Ctrl, Alt, Shift one at a time until the Caps Lock and Scroll Lock lights flash back and forth and entering the number of the computer (1-4) you want to access to is quite easy. The trick is entering the Ctrl, Alt, Shift sequence FAST so the the cap and scroll lights start flashing.
Without the cords etc the unit is about the size of a deck of playing cards which great. Probably the only thing I don't like about the unit is for some odd reason, they put the input connectors up front with the pigtail cables coming out the back. It would have been nicer if they had put two of the inputs -- say the PS/2 Keyboard and mouse on one side, and say the Monitor and Audio input on the other side, rather than front mounting all four. Still all in all this has proved to be an excellent little box.

Stacey Abrams Teases Potential 2020 Bid: ‘I Could Enter the Conversation as Late as the Fall’
Former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams continues to tease a possible bid for president, telling MSNBC that “I’m going to keep watching and decide if I need to jump in” potentially as late as the fall of this year.
Abrams spoke with Hallie Jackson on MSNBC Live Thursday, who asked Abrams if she was prepared “to shut the door on a presidential run right now?”
Abrams responded no, saying “as I’ve said before I’m watching to see what happens.”
Jackson also asked Abrams about her timeline where she indicated she may announce a run as late as September, noting the former Georgia state representative would miss out on a lot of campaigning and early debates.
“I think the debates are an important part of this process, but the debates are new,” Abrams said, noting she would miss the first primary debates under her timeline. “I believe I can enter the conversation as late as the fall and still win.”
Abrams did indicate she may be interested in serving as a running mate to the potential winner of the Democratic primary, but says “no one has reached out to me.”
“If I decide to join the fray, I look forward to being a robust competitor,” Abrams said. “If I’m not that person for one reason or another, I’m open to the conversation.”
Abrams was asked about her decision to not run for U.S. Senate in Georgia against GOP Sen. David Perdue, who is up for re-election in 2020.
“I do not believe you run for office simply because the office is there,” Abrams said. “I believe a Democrat can win [in Georgia] whether their name is Stacey Abrams or not.”

Celtx is screenwriting/pre-production software designed to create and organize media projects in various formats: film screenplays, television screenplays, stage plays, games, podcasts, and documentaries.
A major feature that caught our eye that no other screenwriting program features are a clock that gives you an estimate of the duration of your screenplay. Each scene heading includes time for how long the software believes your scene will run.
You are then prompted to take a short break so that you can recharge your batteries and get ready to take on another sprint. You can like this video and subscribe for more screenwriting tips or you can find out more on our website arcStudiopro.com
Looking for a free, professional screenwriting software you can use right now, no strings attached? StudioBinder free scriptwriting software is the option for any filmmaker or writer. Just sign up (5 seconds) and start writing your screenplay.
When it comes to screenwriting, what matters more than the tools you use to write is the story you want to tell. So while it goes without saying that it doesn't really matter what kind of software you use to write your screenplay, there are some clear advantages to writing with software that facilitates your creative process.
Whether you need real-time collaboration to write with a co-writer, or you need pre-production features (if you're producing your own script), we've outlined a few of the key advantages of what we believe are the 6 best free screenwriting software options for screenwriters to choose from.
Arc Studio has rocketed to the top of many writers' lists of best screenwriting software. Why? Because Arc Studio offers tons of professional screenwriting features in a beautiful, minimal user interface that's easy on the eyes and easy to learn. Arc Studio offers a totally free version that's got plenty of great features for screenwriters. It even has productivity features such as reminders and writing sprint timers to help you stick to a writing schedule.
If you opt for the Arc Studio Pro subscription, you can access tools like outlining, real-time collaboration, mobile apps and dedicated customer support in case you have any questions. A script written with Arc Studio can be saved as Final Draft format and opened in Final Draft (and vice versa) for seamless editing while preserving all pagination and formatting. Arc Studio also saves as PDF and Fountain file format. The breadth of features, beautiful design and free tier, make this a leading contender for the best free screenwriting software. Sign up for Arc Studio here (free).
Celtx is geared toward professional and DIY video creators. And it offers much more than just screenwriting software. It also has collaboration tools for production planning and scheduling. It has apps for iPhones and tablets and offers collaboration options, so you never have to be away from your script or the many collaborators that it takes to make a film or scripted online video. With over a million users, Celtx is clearly a strong contender for those considering screenwriting software. That said, Celtx may not be the best option for those writers who have their eyes set on Hollywood, because it doesn't adhere to all industry-standard formatting and pagination. Sign up for Celtx here.
The market-leading screenwriting software, Final Draft rings in at a whopping $249 per license, however for this price you get a truly comprehensive screenwriting tool that is used by the majority of professional writers. Although it's been around since the dawn of the computer age, Final Draft has maintained market leadership with an impressive suite of features and a large user base. If you can afford it, Final Draft is a great tool for writers who don't need the modern convenience of cloud-backups, real-time collaboration and the option to work on your screenplay in your browser. The good news is that Final Draft has a generous free trial period of 30 days, so you can give it a "test drive" before you buy it. Sign up for Final Draft here.
WriterDuet backs up your work locally when offline, and automatically syncs it once you reconnect. Its compatibility with other screenwriting software is equally impressive, allowing you to import and export Final Draft software, Fountain, Celtx, PDF and Word files.
Hi Script Reader Pro,May I begin by thanking you sincerely for your web site and the many tips so generously offered.I had Final Draft 8 but my hard drive became corrupted/broken and I lost it along with all my programmes including an Adobe Editing. Of course, being a stupid man, I did not register any of it thus, it is lost and I cannot afford the cost of new one. However, what do you recommend I should go for here amoung your list of free software knowing that I am very used to FD 8 ??Thanking you in advance for your usual prompt professional response in these matters.Yours trulyDominic
I am very happy using Fade-In as a second attempt at using screenwriting software. My first attempt was to use Celtx which was a nightmare with problems too varied to explain here. I ruined my laptop a couple months ago and had Fade in on it along with a script draft. I bought another laptop (an awful expense) and contacted Fade In support. I was given instant support by their downloading the program to include updates having only to use my code key. I paid for it once and get free updates. One time payment only. Using it is quite simple and takes very little time getting familiar with the keys for Scene Heading, Action, Character, Transition etc. I have printed four pages as a test script to see the results to ensure the results are correctly formatted and I was very happy to see the format was spot-on for all formatted processes, for which my test script had all that would be required under normal writing circumstances. If your budget will allow, I recommend Fade In. It is relatively short money compared to Final Draft et al and I think quite competitive. Cheers
Hello, I am an amateur script writer with already many stories. But I have never seen a professional script nor do I even know what is meant by script writing software. Can anybody help me? I really love to make a career in script writing.
Wow! This app is an elegant, easy-to-use, streamlined little firecracker of a screenwriting program . The interface is sleek, plain, and modern, and fully customizable. I jumped right in and started writing a scene, and it just flew. Right on to the page. Very intuitive tabbing

It's now 2019, and coveted free agent outfielder Bryce Harper remains unsigned. Given that he's just 26 years of age and has MVP upside, he's probably going to wind up signing the largest contract in MLB history (i.e., more than Giancarlo Stanton's record $325 pact with the Marlins). Still to be determined, however, is which team gives him all that money.
The Dodgers are believed to be strongly in the mix after a recent trade cleared space in the L.A. outfield, and at various points this offseason the White Sox, Yankees, Phillies, Cubs, Cardinals, and incumbent Nationals have been linked to the slugger. As for the Cubs, they're reported to have tight budget limits this winter, but the growing suspicion is that those limits may be more flexible than acknowledged. Thus, the Harper-to-Cubs buzz persists.
Speaking of which, let us present the following tantalizing image from New Year's Eve...
That would be Harper and his wife ringing in the new year with Cubs star third baseman/left fielder Kris Bryant and his wife. As you're no doubt aware, Harper and Bryant both hail from Las Vegas and have been friends since childhood. In that sense, this is nothing more than a couple of old friends hanging out on New Year's Eve. Implicit, though, is the possibility that Harper and Bryant talked about the former's free agency and that Bryant did a little recruiting on behalf of the Cubs. Maybe something like that even happened.
Obviously, matters such as these -- involving hundreds of millions of dollars and possibly the bulk of Harper's career -- probably won't be determined by whether he's got an old buddy on the team, but presumably it can't hurt. What should you do with this information? Rush headlong into the roiling waters of assumption, obviously.
By the way, a guy named "Bryant Harper" once played football for Penn State. The harbingers, they mount.

The fate of 23 pre-approved companies seeking five medical cannabis dispensary licenses in Rhode Island will be in the hands of a blindfolded former FBI agent on Oct. 29.
Russell Griffiths, an economic and policy analyst with the Rhode Island Department of Business Regulation, will have his eyes covered when he picks five numbered balls from a transparent tumbler borrowed from Twin River Casino at 10 a.m. Friday, according to the department’s Office of Cannabis Regulation (OCR). A livestream of the lottery will be available via Zoom.
The licensing lottery was originally scheduled for early August but was delayed after one of four rejected applicants brought forth an administrative appeal. Overall, the state received 45 applications from 28 companies in December. Four companies did not qualify for the lottery.
Instead of further delay, OCR is moving forward with 23 pre-approved companies that have submitted 37 applications for the right to open a dispensary in five zones across the state. A lottery to select a dispensary for a sixth zone in the Newport area will not be held because of the administrative appeal, The Associated Press reported.
The luck of the draw for the 23 companies participating in this week’s lottery ranges from two to 11 applications in the five zones. Zone 3’s license, for instance, will be awarded to either Green Wave CC Inc. or Rhode Island Compassion Center Inc., while 11 companies are in the running for Zone 4’s license. One ball will be randomly picked from each zone.
Rhode Island currently has three licensed medical cannabis dispensaries, including the Thomas C. Slater Compassion Center in Providence, the Greenleaf Compassion Center in Portsmouth and the Summit Medical Compassion Center in Warwick.


Four days to the presidential election, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has reiterated the commitment of the electoral body to conducting a free, fair and credible exercise. INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, reechoed this yesterday when he received the Commonwealth Observer Mission to Nigeria in his office.
Leader of the Mission and former President of South Africa, Thabo Mbeki, during the meeting with Yakubu, along with some National Commissioners in Abuja, said Nigeria is a very important country for the Commonwealth and they are hopeful the elections will be peaceful, credible and all-inclusive.
The Commonwealth delegation is in Nigeria, as one of the foreign observer groups that will monitor the February 25 Presidential and National Assembly polls in the country. This is the seventh election the Mission would be observing in Nigeria.
Stating the purpose of the visit, the former South Africa President said the meeting would afford the delegation an opportunity to hear from the electoral umpire, especially on preparations thus far.
According to him, the mission will write a report based on their observations and possibly make recommendations as well. Mbeki added that the success of the polls depend on the activities of INEC. He, therefore, stressed the need for INEC to live up to the expectations of Nigerians and the international community in its conduct of the February 25 and March 11 general elections.
On his part, Yakubu stressed the importance that INEC attaches to the observations of the Commonwealth Observer Mission in the past. He explained that some of the recommendations in the past have led to improvements, including the deployment of technologies by the Commission.
Earlier, the Commonwealth of Nations had announced its impartiality ahead of the polls after deploying a monitoring team of 16 high-calibre officers from various member nations, including politicians, diplomats, and experts in law, human rights, gender equality, and election administration.
The team is set to provide an independent assessment of the electoral process, and its findings will be communicated through a preliminary statement on February 27.
Mbeki, while addressing newsmen in a press conference, described the election as Africa’s largest democratic exercise, adding that the outcome will be significant not only for Nigeria, but also for the entire continent. He urged all stakeholders to uphold their commitment to ensuring a peaceful and inclusive election.
“Our mandate is to observe and assess the pre-election period, activities on polling day and the post-election period. Throughout, we will consider all factors relating to the credibility of the electoral process. We will assess whether the elections are conducted according to the standards for democratic elections to which Nigeria has committed itself,” Mbeki said.
“As we undertake this assessment and conduct our duties, we will be objective, independent, and impartial.” An estimated 93.4 million registered voters will have the right to cast ballots for presidential and National Assembly candidates in 176,846 polling units across Nigeria.
Following the elections, Mbeki said the group will submit its recommendations in a report to the Commonwealth Secretary-General, Patricia Scotland KC.
“She will forward the report to the Government of Nigeria, the country’s Independent National Electoral Commission, leadership of political parties taking part in the elections and all Commonwealth governments. The report will be made public afterwards,” he added.
ALSO, the International Republican Institute (IRI) and the National Democratic Institute (NDI), yesterday, announced the deployment of a joint international election observation mission (IEOM) to Nigeria.
The 40-member delegation, comprising political and civic leaders, election experts, and regional specialists from 20 countries in Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America and North America, received accreditation from INEC to observe the February 25 polls.
The delegation is led by former President of Malawi, Dr. Joyce Banda. She will be joined by President and CEO of the Woodrow Wilson International Centre for Scholars, Ambassador Mark Green; former Assistant Secretary of State for the Bureau of African Affairs at the U.S. Department of State, Ambassador Johnnie Carson; IRI Board Member, Constance Berry Newman; NDI Board Member, Stacey Abrams; among others.
Banda said: “We are here to show our support for, and solidarity with Nigerian democrats. These elections are of tremendous significance for the country and the region as a whole. I encourage all voters to participate and make their voices heard through the ballot box.”
IRI and NDI have deployed international election observation missions to every general election in Nigeria since its 1999 transition from military to civilian democratic rule.
NDI President, Ambassador Derek Mitchell, and IRI President, Dr. Daniel Twining, will also participate in the mission.On Election Day, IRI/NDI will visit polling stations in 20 states across all six geopolitical regions of Nigeria to observe the various aspects of the elections and the administration of the poll, including the opening, voting, tabulation, transmission and publication of results.
THIS is coming as the United States Embassy in Nigeria has issued an advisory to its citizens in the country, alerting them on possible violence ahead of the elections.
In a notice on its website, titled ‘Possible Protests Leading to Elections and Restricted Movements on Election Days – February 25 and March 11’ the embassy urged its citizens to avoid rallies as “they can turn violent with little or no notice.”
Stating that movements will be restricted during the period, the advisory further stated that citizens should have food and water supply for at least three days at home, in case movements are restricted beyond election days.
“The Government of Nigeria will restrict the movement of all personal vehicles on election days across the country. Information from government indicates that only law enforcement personnel and INEC-accredited election observers will be allowed to move freely along the roads.”
The advisory added: “Have three days of food and water in your residence in case movement restrictions are extended beyond election day; have a pre-packed bag that contains your travel documents, medications, toiletries, cash and clothes in case you need to relocate from your residence; avoid large crowds. Be aware of your surroundings; review your personal security plans; keep your cell phone charged in case of emergency and monitor local media for updates.”
THE Nigerian military and intelligence high command has vowed to give a bloody nose to thugs and troublemakers during the election billed for Saturday. Chief of Defence Staff, General Lucky Irabor, also assured that both military and intelligence community are ready for the election.
Irabor, who spoke with newsmen after an expansive meeting with Service Chiefs and Nigeria’s intelligence agencies, said: “We have just finished a meeting with the service chiefs, the IGP, the DG-DSS represented by the director of operations, the DG-NIA and the CDI and we have compared notes and assess the entire situations and we are good to go.
“The assessment is that we are set on all fronts, we equally got representation from the INEC chairman who of course you have interacted with, who has also told Nigerians and the world that they are ready for elections.
“So by and large, we are good to go and I like to use this opportunity to assure Nigerians that on the security front, we are good to go in all fronts. Trouble makers better have a rethink because they will have a bloody nose.”
THE Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC), yesterday, said about 1.8 billion litres of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) is being stocked for the months of February and March.
With lingering scarcity of the product, INEC had raised concerns over the impact of the scarcity on the election. But NNPC in a release, yesterday, noted that the current stock would suffice for 42 days, adding that concerted efforts were made to sustain the supply of petroleum products nationwide.
According to the state oil firm, the country has a total of 1.805 billion litres of PMS stock, representing 805.35 million litres in all the land depots nationwide and 1,000.20 million litres on marine vessels, which is equivalent to 30.09 days sufficiency.
An additional PMS supply of 884 million liters is also expected into the country by February 28, Chief Corporate Communications Officer, NNPC Limited, Garba Deen Muhammad, said.
The company noted that in March, a total of 2.3 billion litres of PMS is expected into the country, while about 2.5 billion litres, which is equivalent to 42 days sufficiency, will be the closing stock for the month under review.
MEANWHILE, in a last attempt push, chairman of the Southern Governors’ Forum (SGF) and governor of Ondo State, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, yesterday, insisted that the push for Southern presidency was for fairness and equity.
While arguing that a Northerner has spent eight years in the saddle, Akeredolu insisted that it is the turn of the South to produce the next president.
The governor, who spoke during a meeting with stakeholders in his hometown of Owo, headquarters of Owo Council, highlighted the benefits of electing the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, as the next president.
The Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF), also insisted on its endorsement of the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, dismissing reported rejection of Obi’s endorsement by a purported youth wing of the forum.
A statement by PANDEF spokesman, Ken Robinson, said: “For the avoidance of doubt, PANDEF stands by the endorsement of Obi by our national leader and elder statesman, Chief Edwin Kiagbodo Clark, and the affirmation by the Southern and Middle Belt Leaders Forum (SMBLF), done in Abuja, on February 2, 2023. Without equivocation, PANDEF’s endorsement of Peter Obi is sacrosanct.

Fans of the canceled Showtime series The Borgias, which recently wrapped with the Season 3 finale (now series finale) “The Prince,” have launched a campaign to convince the network to revive the historical drama. The Borgias revolved around the family of Pope Alexander VI of Rome (a.k.a. Rodrigo Borgia) and his family, especially son Cesare and daughter Lucrezia, who were a little...too close for siblings, if you catch my drift. (For more on their complex relationship, check out the post My Body Is a Cage: The Borgias's Cesare/Lucrezia.)
In an effort to try to convince Showtime to reverse its decision and to bring the show back for a Season 4 or two-hour movie (the latter being show creator Neil Jordan's original plan), fans have created petitions (which former series regular David Oaks has himself signed), sent tins of sardines (a reference to the fasting the pope and his cardinals did in the show as penance, I believe), and created social media accounts (including a Facebook page and Twitter profile) and even a SaveTheBorgias website.
In a statement about the cancellation, Jordan said (via Entertainment Weekly): “For a variety of reasons we won’t be doing a fourth season, but, ‘The Prince’ [the final episode], when I wrote it and shot it, did seem like the end of a journey for the family.”
However, more recently he seems less satisfied with the way the series ended, telling Crave Online in an interview: “No, I’m not [satisfied with the finale]. I don’t think any of the fans are either. It was interesting when I was shooting one of the final scenes there, it did seem to me all the family had descended into certain darkness. ... [B]ut I wrote a two hour movie to conclude all of their stories which I called The Borgia Apocalypse. It would’ve satisfied everything that the fans seemed to be upset about, but I’m not in control of the decisions of Showtime. I asked them to make it and we even agreed to reduce our fees to make it more palatable, the budgetary numbers, but they said no. So we shall see what happens. The script is still there.”
Could Neil Jordan one day make the movie on his own? Will the SaveTheBorgias campaign change Showtime's mind? Could the whole cast even return, now that they've begun to move on to other projects? Only time will tell...
What are your thoughts? Are you happy with where “The Prince” left the Borgia family and especially Cesare/Lucrezia, or are you rooting for a proper end to their story?

November 17, 2022 (Investorideas.com Newswire) The US and China are the two largest economies in the world, accounting for the lion’s share of global household wealth. According to MoneyTransfers.com, the US and China account for half of the world’s total household wealth.
Commenting on the data, CEO of MoneyTransfers, Jonathan Merry, said, “The US and China are sitting pretty on top of the world. These are strong economies with the highest GDPs. The unemployment rates in these countries are very low, and people are keen on wealth acquisition.”
China’s increasing economic clout has led to a more significant portion of the global pie. The United States and China have grown their shares of the world’s wealth, with the former accounting for 31.5% and the latter for 18.4%. Besides, the quality of life in China has significantly improved during the previous two decades.
However, not every Chinese has felt the effects of the hike. The gap between the rich and the poor has widened. For instance, the wealthiest 10% are getting richer. Yet, the poorest 50% are getting poorer. Besides China, the US also has an unequal distribution of wealth.
The number of multimillionaires in both the United States and China is growing, with asset inflation playing a role. The ranks of multimillionaires globally will likely continue to swell in the coming years. But, unless measures are taken to close the gap between the rich and the poor, inequality will remain a problem.

After tabling a proposal for a sales tax of one-tenth of a cent, the city of Wichita is moving forward with a temporary fix for its struggling transit system.
The stopgap comes as the city considers the proposed $572.8 million budget for next year.
The city’s bus system, which faces a $2 million shortfall next year, would receive stopgap funding from three sources:
▪ Swapping $1.2 million in federal funds secured by Wichita Area Metropolitan Planning Organization funding by postponing two street projects.
▪ Lowering and locking in diesel fuel prices for the bus system at $500,000.
▪ Moving $300,000 from the city’s reserve fund.
Mayor Jeff Longwell said he’s not happy that the city will use stopgap funding, and stressed that discussions are still needed on long-term funding for the transit system.
City Manager Robert Layton said the first stopgap measure to postpone two street projects – one on 37th Street North and the other on Pawnee – would have to be approved by the planning organization, which has secured about $3 million in federal funds for the projects.
By delaying the projects to 2017, the city would take the freed-up money and use that to purchase new buses. Other funding originally earmarked for bus replacement would then move to operations, Layton said.
The 37th Street project, which would widen the road to three lanes between Woodlawn and Oliver and was scheduled to break ground in spring 2016, was through a partnership with the city of Bel Aire. Although the road is technically in Bel Aire, the city estimates that about 70 percent of the traffic comes from Wichita residents.
The two cities previously agreed to split the local costs of the road improvements, estimated at $650,000 each. The rest of the project would have been covered by about $3 million in federal transportation funds secured through the planning organization.
Improvements to both sides of the proposed 37th Street project have already been done. The improvements to the west on 37th Street were funded by Koch Industries for its campus expansion.
Koch declined to comment on the impact of postponing the roadwork.
“We’re going to do everything we can to try to keep the project on schedule,” Layton said. “It may mean that we have to use some CIP funds and get reimbursed in 2017, but there will probably be some delays because of this.”
Council members in recent weeks considered a sales tax for the system after a recommendation from the Transit Advisory Board. However, several council members said they weren’t sure there was an “appetite” for a new local sales tax at this time.
State legislators recently enacted an increase in sales tax statewide to plug budget shortfalls. And last fall, Wichita voters soundly defeated a 1-cent sales tax that would have gone toward water, transit, streets and a jobs fund.
Koch Cos. Public Sector spent more than $1 million to help defeat that local sales tax initiative, according to campaign finance documents filed with Sedgwick County in December .

I was recently asked, when is using a Blockchain really needed?
IMHO the main benefit is ease of provider integration Blockchain allows providers to join a system, with a much lower barrier to entry. If you are looking to build a network of new and innovative providers, which don’t have to trust each other, instead they trust the protocol, a blockchain is a compelling solution.
When is Blockchain not a compelling reason?
First I feel I should debunk some reasons often stated.
Blockchain doesn’t make everything better
In many cases, when a blockchain is proposed, it is used as little more than a log of changes in a database. In some cases, a distributed ledger could be used when a centralised database isn’t enough. Blockchain projects are easier to get approved these days as companies and individuals want to improve their blockchain skill sets but this doesn’t make it compelling from a technical point of view IMHO.
Blockchain is unlikely to make things faster
In most cases you will still need a database for reporting services, so adding a blockchain is highly likely to make it more complicated and slower, not simpler and faster than a database alone. See this article which mention speeding up payments
Blockchain can make a system faster if it can replace enough of an existing system which already implements the features a blockchain offers, but in a less efficient manner.
Blockchain doesn’t address all security concerns
To compromise a cluster of nodes you can employ a 51% attack. If you control a majority of nodes, you control the whole system. This could happen by adding or hacking enough nodes. A state level organisation could do this, potentially even with the most popular crypto currencies, however most governments have easier/cheaper ways of exercising policy or influence.
Many cryptocurrencies are public which is a real privacy concern when some of the bank balances are very high (or at least high to the individuals holding them).
Making this information private is likely to be highly desirable. However it could still be obtained through a hack though that is harder.
When is Blockchain compelling?
When participants trust a protocol, they don’t have to trust each other as much. This makes inclusion of new participants easier and allow existing ones to be more innovative.
Reduced security impacts via a immutable ledger This means a new provider can join without all the existing providers needing to be fully comfortable with their security setup.
|A high percentage of hacks involve disgruntled former employees. If you trust every node from every provider you have to trust every person operating it.|
Using sub-chains, different providers can offer innovative solutions, without everyone else in the system needing to be comfortable with those solutions. By the time every participant is comfortable with a new solution, it’s probably not that innovative/disruptive. If every node needs to be trusted, you can’t offer a solution/transaction type unless every provider is comfortable with the risk associated with it.
Built in fee support
As the system controls the flow of value, it can also include settlement of fees and cut off participants as a result of exceeding some limit. e.g. if a participant, for whatever reason, starts spamming the system, this will cost them and result in them being cut off.
Does a blockchain need to have its own currency?
A blockchain offers a virtualisation of currencies. These can be backed by fiat or another digital currencies, or a new currency or both. If the system has fees to cover the cost of running the service, it needs to be in a supported currency. This could be in USD or EUR rather a new currency, however a crypto currency has the advantage that the actual cost can have a floating exchanging rate with fiat currencies. e.g. each transaction could cost 1 TXN and the value of this can be determined by an exchange.
New currencies can have novel features such as only being usable after a future date. You could have a 1000 USD token which is only usable after 1st Jan 2020, but can be bought now at a discount.
While I feel than many blockchain solutions could have used a database instead, there are some compelling use cases which allow multiple providers to offer innovating solutions to customers.
