If you believe the adage that good things come in small packages then you are going to love the perfectly formed succinctness of Josh Rountree’s slim but powerful The Legend of Charlie Fish.
Set at the turn of the twentieth century with brief but narratively effective prologue and epilogues diversions to the year 1932, The Legend of Charlie Fish is one of those luminously good novellas that dance between densely compelling plotting & perfectly formed characterisation rooted in the trying grittiness of the real world and magically real elements that don’t detract from the realness but rather emphasises how it can affect people for the good and the bad.
Let’s start with the good because honestly for all its winningly dark Western overtones and its epic race for survival and frantic holding onto hope, The Legend of Charlie Fish celebrates how someone doing the right thing can have powerful consequences, both immediately and well down the track.
Floyd Betts, the man at the centre of this extraordinary but affectingly grounded tale, has had the sort of life than should predispose him to walling his life up from the inside and not lifting a finger to help anyone – with an emotionally negligent dad, a viciously sour aunt and a hometown full of people given over to meanness and bigotry, he should be the last person to help anyone.
We were different, and different was bad.
Hank and I [Nellie] set off down the road to home, and their hatred chased after us.
After all, no one helped him so why should he help others?
But Floyd is a good man, a very good man, his penchant for doing the right thing spurred on by a loving though now dead mother, his love of reading and an inner moral compass that doesn’t just know right from wrong, it practises it with a loving intensity.
It is what spurs him to take on two orphans when he has to return to his old nasty hometown for reasons he cannot avoid; Nellie and Hank have been left parentless after a despicably cruel act that not even magic could protect them from, and while Floyd’s aunt and the local cleric, “good” Christians all, treat them like leprous droppings, our goodhearted protagonist scoops them up, ostensibly at first just to give them a meal.
But they stay onboard in his wagon and soon Floyd discovers that eldest child Nellie can hear “whispering” which allows her to hear, in clear but not wholly distinct form, what people are thinking and feeling and to project recollections of what was and to sense what might be.
The daughter of a witch, she has the kind of powers which are both blessing and curse, but which give her an insight into the human soul which help her to know Floyd can be trusted, travelling snake oil salesman Fin and his henchman Kentucky Jim most certainly cannot and that they must save Charlie who, it turns out, is a man-sized sentient amphibian and who cannot be allowed to remain a captive of murderous Finn.
(courtesy official author site)
This wholly unique family, for that is most assuredly what they become form the beating heart of The Legend of Charlie Fish which is full to the brim of challenging life events, some more mortally wounding than others, but which always celebrate the power of doing the right thing and being on the right side of history.
Drawing without once feeling derivative on the substantial emotional weight of The Shape of Water, Guillermo del Toro’s masterpiece about embracing the Other and being open to worlds and people beyond your own understanding (but, not, thankfully, heart) and with a keen eye on the justice of Westerns where people of good heart and standing stand victoriously, though not without some injury, against the darkest elements of the world, The Legend of Charlie Fish has so much substance at the heart of it that you marvel at how masterful a morality tale it is.
But, and this speaks to Rountree’s clearly demonstrated gift for writing, the novella never sinks beneath the weight of its evocation of the things that make us good and which sustain when the brutalist people around us trying to take what is not theirs in ways that can only damage and destroy unless they are opposed.
Rather it movingly weaves its beautifully rich and thoughtful core through a humanity which is both relatably grounded and magically different, granting the story a lightness of being that wears its weightier elements lightly and yet profoundly impactfully.
‘Listen, Nellie,’ she [Abigail] said. ‘I’m telling you this to say we aren’t required to live the story that’s expected. Our lives belong to us. We need only decide what we want from life and then do our best to make it happen.’
For all its darkness and strange, what really hits home is how powerful love can be.
Not the sort of love adored by cheap romantic tales and fleeting greeting card rhymes; rather the muscular kind that throws the pink and the pretty aside into the muck underfoot and gets in there and care and supports, unconditionally and without reserve and which preserves far more powerful than cruel and nasty men intent on nothing other than enriching themselves at the expense of others.
The family that Floyd, his landlady Abigail Elder, who has a darkening past of her own, Nellie, Hank and Charlie form may not be weird and bathed in magically real colours and sensibilities, but the love at the heart of it proves to be (mostly) even more powerful than the 1900 Great Storm of Galveston, Texas, a nightmarish feat of nature that levels much of the city and challenges our intrepid band, including Hank and his oversized revolver and outsized willingness to face down bullies, but which never wholly surmounts them.
With that kind of heart behind it, and a hugely powerful narrative heft that always cradles and cherishes the humanity at its heart, augmented by a magicality that is more real in its impact that much of the physical world around us, The Legend of Charlie Fish is a dark but hopeful gem that lives out its Western and fantasy influences with grit and wonder and an unfailing sense that while life can be terrible and some people even more so, that that is not the end of the story and that good and wondrous things can happen in awful circumstances to powerfully lasting effect.

Stone Island will soon be ending the happiest year in its history: President Carlo Rivetti speaks of a double-digit growth in turnover and profitability, an ideal success within the US – probably the most difficult market for a casualwear brand – an increase in sales even in Italy and increasingly greater brand awareness on internet, a lot in order to trigger various types of collecting and sites specializing in vintage clothes, where the items can cost over ten times the original price.
“If I look from the skin, doing a type of exercise in economic-financial meditation, I understand better the way it was possible to achieve these results in such a difficult year,says Rivetti. “We will end 2016 at 05 million, up 20% on 2015 and up 100% on the last five years. The orders for the spring-summer 2017 collection, which have already been made, are up by 30%. The EBITDA has reached 8 million, 35% more than 2015. I’ve never tried to anticipate the market, nor to chase it, and these figures are surprising even for me. I have always had, however, very clear ideas about many other things, and now we are reaping the benefits of this consistency and teamwork./p>
To think that only three years ago there have been “rumorsof the sale of Stone Island to an American giant: “I have never denied the negotiations, it was, in any case, an experience,points out Rivetti. “But I understood that we will and we must remain independent. With an external partner, Stone Island would become, inevitably, something else that almost certainly I would not like anymore./p>
Rivetti has always postponed the arrival in China, but export has, however, reached 65%, because of Europe and the US, where the brand new York store was opened in 2016 and the L.A. one will shortly be enlarged. “The wholesale distribution is increasingly hand-picked, because we now have 20 direct stores throughout the world, nine of which were opened within the last year and a half. E-commerce is worth 6% of the turnover, and we do not need to force the growth. The identical goes for children. We must remain focused on outerwear, choosing our collaborations with care.

Adaptive Stream Multicast Based on IP Unicast and Dynamic CommercialAttachment Mechanism: An Active Network Implementation
This paper describes an adaptive IP-unicast-based multicast protocol that dynamically constructs a multicast tree based only on request packets sent by clients. Since the protocol is simple but flexible and does not require any IP multicast addresses or special multicast mechanisms, unlike the IP multicast protocol, it is scalable and suitable for personal stream broadcasting and related services. An application that dynamically attaches advertisements to multicasted streams is also presented. The application attaches advertisements to the streams at active nodes instead of the server so it can deliver advertisements tailored to the individual recipient, according to his/her interests and/or location. An algorithm that minimizes the attachment cost over the corresponding multicast tree is developed. The multicast and advertisement attachment mechanisms are implemented using our own active network environment, and their validity is confirmed.

- Limitations as Possibilities:Uri Orlev’s Holocaust Narratives for Children and Young Adults
Relating to his experience as a survivor writing about the Holocaust, Uri Orlev—the most esteemed Israeli author of Holocaust literature for young readers—observes,
I don’t know if writing about the past helps me to get over it. What I do know is that there is no grown-up way to talk, tell, or think about the things that happened to me. I have to remember them as if I were still a boy, with all the strange details—some funny, some moving—that childhood memories have and that children have no problem with. As a grown-up, I can’t imagine my own children living through what I did. I can’t even begin to think about it without cutting off the thought. It’s like walking very carefully on a frozen lake. If I were to take a sudden step—I mean, if I were to think of what happened then as the 65-year-old man I am today—the ice would break and I would tumble through it without being able to climb back.(The Sandgame 55–56)
This quote from Orlev’s autobiographical children’s book The Sandgame indicates a self-aware insight crucial to our understanding of his narratives. In it, the author reveals himself as a self-conscious grownup whose depths are bared precisely in the recognition of his limited ability to remember and recount as an adult. The depiction of the delicate oscillation between childhood/adulthood and awareness/nonawareness in Orlev’s narratives, and the means by which it enables personal and ideological coping with the traumatic past, lie at the heart of this essay.
Born Jerzy Henryk Orlowski in Warsaw in 1931, Uri Orlev survived the Holocaust with his younger brother—first in the Warsaw Ghetto, then in hiding, and finally in Bergen-Belsen. When the war ended, the two youngsters made their way to British Palestine, settling on Kibbutz [End Page 1] Ginegar.1 Orlev’s first publication was a lyrical autobiography for adults, The Lead Soldiers (1956); two other adult books—Until Tomorrow (1958) and The Last Summer Vacation: Stories (1968)—followed in its wake. After these early works, Orlev dedicated himself to children’s literature, the first of his children’s books appearing in the mid-1970s. He only began writing about the Holocaust for a young audience in the early 1980s, after he had established a reputation as a children’s author, with nine published books and many Israeli prizes to his name. Today, he is one of Israel’s most esteemed children’s writers and the most prominent author of Holocaust literature for young readers. His children’s books have also received critical acclaim worldwide, as indicated by the numerous awards and prizes they have won. He is also the first—and thus far, the only—Israeli children’s writer to have received a Hans Christian Andersen Gold Medal, awarded by the International Board on Books for Young People in 1996.
In recent years, the discourse regarding the literary representation of the Holocaust has largely revolved around issues relating to trauma and atrocity: how can the unspeakable—which by definition defies construction as a “closed,” causal narrative and precludes the drawing of any meaning from events—be written about?2 Children’s literature seems to lie beyond the bounds of this discourse, as the cognitive and emotional limitations of its audience demand that the stories they read are structured, coherent, carry a clear plot, are optimistic, have a good ending, and convey a lesson—or at least a “making of sense.”
As Hamida Bosmajian and Adrienne Kertzer both argue in their discussions of children’s Holocaust literature, writing for children necessarily restricts or restrains representation of the atrocity, since the educational requirements imposed on children’s literature and the need to protect the child lead many to assert that children must be spared from exposure to its horrors. Children’s Holocaust literature is thus generally distinguished from that meant for adults by the fact that “what is distressing is softened and what is traumatic is made coherent . . . what...

(Updates with budget deficit forecast in third paragraph.)
Dec. 20 (Bloomberg) -- Finland may have entered a recession, the Finance Ministry said, cutting its forecast for growth in the northernmost euro member’s economy.
Gross domestic product will expand 0.4 percent next year, compared with growth of 1.8 percent forecast in October, the Helsinki-based ministry said in an e-mailed statement today.
“The forecast contains the possibility of the economy experiencing a recession in late 2011 and early 2012,” the ministry said.
AAA rated Finland, which sells 40 percent of its output abroad and a third of that in the euro area, is vulnerable to the sovereign debt crisis that damps growth in the region. The Nordic country’s budget deficit will widen to 1.4 percent next year and 1.5 percent in 2013 from 1.2 percent in 2011, and debt as a share of GDP will rise to 54 percent by 2013 from an estimated 49.4 percent this year, the ministry said.
“The slowdown of growth will add to imbalances in the Finnish economy,” the ministry said. “In this situation it’s essential that measures are put in place to foster market-driven growth.”
The recovery of growth to 1.7 percent in 2013 “depends largely on domestic demand,” the ministry said. The ministry’s 2012 GDP growth estimate matches last week’s forecast by the Bank of Finland.
Weakening growth means Finland’s government must make “substantial” spending cuts and increase taxes to bring finances onto a sustainable footing, the central bank said on Dec. 15.
“If these steps are not taken in time, we could end up in a situation where we are forced to rapidly reduce the general government deficit at a time when economic growth is weakening,” Governor Erkki Liikanen said. “The deteriorating economic outlook puts Finland’s public finances in a different light.”

Debt advice service extends to Crossmaglen
June 8, 2010
By Brónagh Murphy
A free and confidential debt advice service has been extended to Crossmaglen with the opening of an outreach centre in the town.
Debt Action NI provides the service, which is implemented through Mindwise charity, in Crossmaglen Community Centre every Friday from 10.00am to 4.00pm. The ‘drop-in’ facility is aimed at anyone who needs face to face help with debt or financial issues. Professionally trained advisers will assess each individual’s circumstances and offer confidential and impartial advice on the best options available to them.
Funding has been provided jointly by the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Industry (DETI) and Ulster Bank and the project is being rolled out throughout the Newry and Mourne area.
Newry-based Mindwise is tasked with facilitating the service. Although Mindwise is a leading mental health charity, the service is open to anyone and can offer advice on a wide range of debt and money issues. This can include basic advice on income maximisation, budgeting, debt management plans, and more serious issues like bankruptcy and repossessions.
Bill Halliday, Chief Executive of MindWise, said the charity is delighted to be partnering with Advice NI to deliver this invaluable service to all individuals in the local area who need help and advice to manage their debts.
“Our charity is aware that there is a link between debts and the issue of mental illness. Those that are experiencing a mental illness are often more likely to fall into difficulties with money and debt issues due to the nature of some of the symptoms of the condition, and anyone with debt issues will no doubt be under considerable mental stress which can be a contributor towards the onset of a mental illness,” Mr Halliday said.
“Seeking advice early on debt issues is a meaningful and beneficial step for anyone to take in order to help protect their mental health.”
Anyone wishing to access the service in Crossmaglen should contact Alison Smyth by telephoning 07578 497922 or by email firstname.lastname@example.org.
A website dedicated to the service has also been set up through which appointment requests can be emailed and further information downloaded. Log on to www.debtaction-ni.net.

text: I like the new mastery because it gives the ability to jump off any mount and glide. So if on a griffon in areas that use updrafts for gliding it can really help. You can jump off the griffon in mid air use the updraft then remount the griffon at a higher level. Now for those that do not have gliding and the masteries that go with it then I suggest getting Heart of Thorns. For those that do not have either expansion and are playing free to try the game get them both lol. They need to add more updrafts in the game as it progresses. If you think they cannot do that they already added gliding in the entire game then mounts.

ALBANY — The University at Albany football team has named their starting quarterback for their first game of the season.
Out of the three viable choices, Vincent Testaverde, son of former NFL quarterback Vinny Testaverde, will make his first collegiate start on September 1.
Announced with a gender reveal style via Twitter, purple smoke was released into the air telling the public Testaverde will be the team’s starter.
🚨 Attention Great Danes fans! 🚨
Check back here at 2⃣ pm to find out who our starting quarterback will be at Pittsburgh on Sept 1.
Purple smoke ➡ Vincent Testaverde
White smoke ➡ Will Brunson
Gold smoke ➡ Nyc Burns pic.twitter.com/PSyL1vUdVF
— UAlbany Football (@UAlbanyFootball) August 23, 2018
“We feel really good about our quarterback depth this year but at the end of the day it’s about managing the game,” head coach Greg Gattuso said via Twitter. “Vinny kind of stood out as camp went on but it was very close, Will Brunson is a guy we trust…we feel good about both of these young men.”
He [Testaverde] beats out last season’s starter Will Brunson and backup Nyc Burns for the job as UAlbany will begin their season on the road against ACC foe Pittsburgh.

FAIRFIELD, Conn. —More than 100 days after Hurricane Maria ravaged Puerto Rico, U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy said the territory remains “an island in crisis” with more than 50 percent of the population still without electricity.
Murphy, who traveled to Puerto Rico with Sen. Richard Blumenthal last week, said he could only imagine what would happen if such a situation was left to languish in Connecticut.
“There would be rioting in the streets,” he said Friday at an appearance in Fairfield.
Murphy said he and Blumenthal toured a neighborhood in San Juan, the island’s largest city, where many residents still had no potable water or electric power. The situation has left some facing dangerous mold growth in their homes, and others are unable to refrigerate vital medicine.
While Congress approved a $36.5 billion hurricane relief package for Puerto Rico, Florida, and Texas in October, much of that funding has never reached the island.
Murphy said he believes the White House isn’t paying enough attention to the needs of residents, some of whom are taking refuge in Connecticut and other states, straining their resources.
Before its holiday break, the U.S. House approved an $81 billion emergency aid bill, but it stalled in the Senate.
Murphy has said he will continue to seek expanded funding for relief for Puerto Rico.
“I can’t imagine this is happening in the United States,” he said. "It was worse than I thought."

In Jammu And Kashmir: Humiliation At Its Worst
By Syed Junaid Hashmi
24 April, 2007
people in Jammu and Kashmir have learnt a number of obnoxious terms
in the last seventeen years yet the term which has dominated the discourse
is "Crackdown". Legal experts describe the term as "illegitimate,
high-handed and atrocious" and opine that such operations in the
present atmosphere are uncalled for.
Oxford dictionary defines
the term "Crackdown" as "An act or example of forceful
regulation, repression, or restraint" while Cambridge explains
it as "crushing, quelling, stifling, suppression, forceful prevention;
putting down by power or authority. The dictionary adds that it is the
oppression of heresy; the quelling of the rebellion and the stifling
of all dissent".
In Jammu and Kashmir, especially
in those areas where violence continues in some form, crackdown is a
cordon-and-search operation in which security forces surround neighbourhoods
or villages and compel all male adults and teenaged boys to assemble
Those who have faced this
say that informer, whose face generally remain covered, working alongside
security forces point out to "alleged militants" or militant
sympathizers or relatives of the militants, adding that those pointed
out are detained without any warrant of arrest memo.
Legal experts say that although
the security forces enjoy special powers under various laws but nowhere
has anything like crackdown been mentioned in these laws. They add that
legal provisions do grant powers to security forces to arrest, search
and detain without warrant but carrying out a search operation where
threat to the lives of the common man increases cannot be justified.
They add that directions
have been passed by various courts including the highest court of law
i.e. Supreme Court of India have stressed that security forces should
not be allowed to arrest or carry out any procedure on suspicion alone.
These directions maintain that all their actions should have an objective
basis so that they are judicially reviewable which would also assist
those who file suit against the security forces.
Those who have faced the
crackdowns say that those detained are often tortured and in some cases,
those detained died in the custody of security forces. Human rights
organizations Amnesty International (AI), Human Rights Watch (HRW) and
even the state human rights commission (SHRC) have documented cases
where people have been detained during the "crackdowns" only
to be killed later on in custody.
Further, some analysts say
that search operations like "crackdown" have alienated masses
in Kashmir and those who may not have been in favour of secession in
the past, have become so. "By allowing the security forces to carry
out search operations like "crackdown", alienation has increased
because people perceive it as government's persistent sanctioning of
grave human rights violations by the security forces in the state,"
said a human rights activist.
He added that it is a common
practice for security forces to conduct round ups. "Even today,
houses are combed without reserve and inhabitants savagely beaten and
threatened; old people were outraged. In general, a common man in any
part of Jammu and Kashmir undergoes an experience of deep humiliation
when he is caught in a search operation like crackdown, thus adding
to the alienation and making the task of winning hearts stiffer,"
said a senior leader of a prominent political party requesting anonymity.
Researchers from Kashmir
University maintain that a lot of women are crying for the fate of their
husbands and sons who either went missing or were killed in custody
after being arrested during a "crackdown" where they were
identified by informers working alongside army and paramilitary forces.
Experts say that in-view
of the emerging consensus on addressing the alienation of masses in
Jammu and Kashmir; the term should have lost significance during the
last ten years but they add that what "democratically" elected
governments after 1996 should have taken care of was abandoned. They
add that "Crackdown" is the worst form of abuse of special
powers which security forces have been enjoying and an important factor
in increasing alienation among the masses towards the democratic values.
When contacted, a senior
police officer who was previously part of the Special Operation Group
(SOG) of Jammu and Kashmir recently said that "crackdown"
is worst form of human rights violation which should be stopped immediately.
"People work alongside if you win their hearts, I have practically
experienced this and it is amply important in the present circumstances
that search operations like "Crackdown" are stopped once and
for all," said the senior police officer.
He added that crackdown increases
the hatred among the people towards the security forces and takes them
further away from the road of peace and prosperity. Senior People's
Democratic Party Leader Nizamuddin Bhat said that Crackdown is an obnoxious
"These types of operations
go against the spirit of human values. Keeping people out in the chill
of winter or blistering heat of summer do amounts to committing human
rights violations, hence these type of operations should be stopped
once and for all," added Bhat.
He stressed that PDP has
always desired to create an atmosphere where peace is restored in the
state with dignity. "For restoring peace with dignity, every such
operation which can alienate people should be stopped, there are various
other ways of conducting search operations," added the PDP Leader.
President Kashmir Bar Association
Mian Abdul Qayoom said that this is the worst form of human rights violation.
He stressed that "crackdown" is a punishment given to those
people who rise against oppression and tyranny. "There are number
of terms which have no legal justification but due to the prevailing
uncertainty in the state, security forces hardly take care of legality
and illegality while carrying out such operations," added Qayoom.

A look back at Architects Whitney Sanders Briard House
Now that the rain is gone (for awhile, anyway) we are back on track. The prefabricated shell was completed six weeks ago, and the erection of Green Sandwich Technology panels, and rough framing inside, has filled up the time since.
These images show the green sandwich being installed. It’s an amaziung material: able to create tall buildings at a single bound… it almost arrivces with a cape. These panels are 28 feet tall, and were erected in ten days. The material also allows for on-site changes. For instance, this week we will add and subtract: literally. I will direct our installer to cut a bit here, add a bit there, to sculpt, quite literally, a 28-foot tall sculpture. What I am trying to do, recalling our original model:

When I was a teen-ager, I dreaded St. Patrick’s Day and the inevitable corned beef and cabbage that Dad would boil up for dinner. He’d slice it and I’d dissect it, trying to separate the fat from the meat. (If you’ve ever eaten corned beef, you know this is no easy task.) Then, I’d drown the meat in mustard, shake on a little pepper and mash it all up until it was an unrecognizable blob. If the flavor of the meat came through, I’d add more mustard. Ditto for the cabbage. The potatoes and carrots were fine, albeit bland, on their own.
As I grew older, the mustard-to-beef ratio decreased until I finally started to eat it condiment-free. I don’t know if it was a matter of taste or tradition, but I realized that’s the way it’s always been in my family – the way it should be.
My Grandma Marion started eating corned beef and cabbage as a girl in the Boston neighborhood of Hyde Park – long before she became an Andresen. As soon as she and her sister, Helen Mulhern, were old enough to sit at the table, boiled dinner became synonymous with St. Patrick’s Day.
“We’d drop dead if we didn’t have corned beef and cabbage on St. Patrick’s Day,” Grams said, laughing, when I asked her about it. “We’d almost have to tell that in confession: ‘Oh, Father, we didn’t have corned beef and cabbage. How many rosaries do I have to say? How many Our Fathers?’ That’s Irish humor, you know.”
Oh, I know. I grew up in Maine (a fact Grams and Aunt Helen don’t let me forget), but I was born in Boston to an Irish-Danish father and an Irish-German mother, and no amount of distance can separate me from my roots. This year, I thought I’d revisit those roots, so I called Grams and Aunt Helen. I wanted to know what St. Patrick’s Day was like when they were growing up. They had plenty to say.
“Ah, the way we were,” Grams sang into the phone like an off-key Barbra Streisand. “We weren’t really the South Boston Irish, but my father was. My father was first-generation American.”
“We were second-generation,” Helen said.
Still, they grew up in a predominantly Irish neighborhood, back when there were bucolic areas of the city. There was a potato farm across from the Mulhern home and the people at the end of the street had three goats. Hyde Park was off the beaten path, so the St. Patrick’s Day celebration was pretty low-key.
“When we were younger, all we did was have corned beef and cabbage at home and wear all green and buy a green carnation,” Aunt Helen said. “Usually, we’d go to Mass because St. Patrick is the patron saint of Boston. … Oh, and we’d buy the plant with the four-leaf clover. I never remember the name of it.”
“It’s a shamrock, Helen.” Grams shouted in the background. “And it’s got three leaves. It represents the holy trinity. That’s how Saint Patrick drove all the snakes out of Ireland, I think.”
Their celebration in Hyde Park isn’t much different from the way it is today. Grams and Helen live in the same building in Quincy, though they don’t share an apartment. They buy green carnations to wear on their lapel and they usually go to my Aunt Karen’s house for corned beef and cabbage. This year, Karen is in Florida, though, so Grams will cook it herself – if she can ever get the pot clean.
“I bought a big pot last year to cook it in, but this year I burned the pot, so I can’t use it,” Grams explained. She boiled it dry trying to humidify her apartment and she hasn’t been able to get all the black off. “I may buy another.”
When they were young women, working on their own in Boston, Grams and Helen wouldn’t cook. They’d go out for a lively lunch.
“We used to go to Quincy Market and go to the Black Rose or Houlihan’s,” Helen said. “We’d drink a grasshopper because it was green. I don’t think they had green beer in our day.”
“Everybody had a good buzz on,” Grams chimed in.
Grams said that with all the sad Irish songs people sang, they needed a “good Irish brew” afterward. During the festivities, there were plenty of happy songs and step dancing, too.
“They’d sing ‘They All Got Drunk at Steve O’Malley’s Wake,'” Helen said. “And then, of course, ‘Who Threw the Overalls in Mrs. Murphy’s Chowder.’ You know that one, don’t you?”
I told her I didn’t.
“Oh, jeez, Kristen,” Helen said. “You’re lacking in your education if you haven’t heard that. You should’ve been raised in Boston.”
For once, Grams agreed.
Grandma Marion’s Corned Beef and Cabbage
Marion recommends using gray corned beef, which is cured without chemical preservatives. “It isn’t appealing to look at,” she says, “but it sure does taste good.”
1 gray-cured corned beef brisket
1 head cabbage, cut in wedges
Small red bliss potatoes, scrubbed, with skins on (Marion recommends 2 per person, “but it your father were coming, we’d up it,” she says)
2-3 bay leaves
Black peppercorns to taste
The night before St. Patrick’s Day, weigh down the corned beef in the refrigerator to flatten it.
When ready to cook, place slab of corned beef into a large pot. Fill with water until beef is barely covered. Add bay leaves and peppercorns. Bring to boil and reduce heat. Simmer over low heat until meat is tender all the way to the center (anywhere from 11/2 to 3 hours, depending on weight).
Put cabbage and potatoes in with the corned beef. You can add beets and carrots as well, but Marion doesn’t. Simmer about a half-hour, until “the fork goes through the cabbage nice and easy.”
Remove beef from pot and place in a colander to drain. Do not pour off the liquid – save it and use it to boil potatoes the following day.
Slice the beef, and place in the center of a large serving dish. Using a slotted spoon, remove cabbage from the water and mound it around the beef. Remove potatoes and arrange in a circle around the beef and cabbage. Then “serve it to your friends, your family, whatever. Just enjoy it.”


Minister Dlamini Zuma addressing the United Nations General Assembly, Monday 29 September 2008, New York
Your Excellency, the President of the UNGA, Father Miguel d’ Escoto Brockmann
Your Excellency, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Ban Ki Moon
Ladies and Gentlemen
My delegation and I join in expressing our congratulations to Your Excellency Father Miguel d’ Escoto Brockmann on your election as the President of the 63rd Session of the UN General Assembly, and hope you have a very successful and rewarding term at the helm of this body. We express our gratitude to His Excellency Dr Srgjan Kerim for the excellent work done during his tenure as the President of the 62nd Session of the General Assembly.
Your Excellencies and Distinguished Guests
Once again Mr. President, we have come to this august body to reiterate what we have always called for – “the need to implement all the promises and all the pledges we have made before”. The focus of this the 63rd Session of the General Assembly, is on the global food crisis, climate change as well as the reform of the UN.
The confluence of the food, fuel and financial crisis as well as the effects of climate change pose a real threat of undermining the progress made by developing countries in the struggle against poverty and under-development.
During the Millennium Summit Declaration held in 2000, our Heads of State and Government adopted a declaration that communicated a message of hope and vision of a better world, among which is an important section on the Special Needs of Africa in which leaders declared that they “will spare no effort to promote democracy and strengthen the rule of law, as well as respect for all the internationally recognised human rights and fundamental freedoms, including the right of development”
Africa and many other developing countries have indeed taken responsibility in promoting democracy, good governance, peace and stability and human rights. They are also hard at work in rolling back the frontiers of poverty and underdevelopment.
Despite the great strides it is clear that many countries in Sub-Saharan Africa will not meet the Millennium Development Goals.
Part of the reason is that the global partnership for development, on which the achievement of the MDGs was also predicated, has not been fully implemented. That despite the various and lofty ideals we made at previous assemblies, we still fall short in meeting the commitments we made in implementing this partnership – in particular, trade, aid and debt relief.
We express the fervent hope that the High-Level meetings organised by yourself, Mr President and the Secretary-General on Africa’s development needs, as well as on the MDGs, have served not only as important reminders of the challenges that we face, but as a catalyst to spur the world into a greater sense of urgency.
The necessary resources exist in the world to achieve the MDG’s. We need to summon the necessary political will and compassion. We join the sister countries of our continent in calling for massive resource transfers through development assistance, investment, trade, technology transfers and human resource development. These will ensure that Africa achieves the development goals and successfully adapts to the devastating impact of climate change.
In order to accelerate the achievement of all the MDG’s, a lot more attention needs to be focused on MDG 3 on the empowerment of women. Women need to be at the centre of development as agents of change both socially, economically and politically.
Billions of the peoples of the world, that we are privileged to represent in this Assembly, have cast their eyes on this gathering of leaders. They do so because they have hope in this leadership to take the required measures in order to address poverty and underdevelopment. We dare not fail them.
The food crisis has to be addressed in the short and medium term. The Green Revolution that has been launched by the AU needs partnerships in order to succeed. Support for NEPAD will be a major contributor to the struggle against poverty and under-development.
In this context, allow me, Mr. President to quote from your statement to the General Assembly with regard to this socio-economic programme as well as the role of our immediate former President, Thabo Mbeki “During his presidency of the rainbow nation, spanning nearly a decade, he, along other African leaders, championed the vision of NEPAD we still pursue today. When the affluent listen to Africa and partner with it, that vision is within reach. To quote Nepad’s founding document: “In fulfilling its promise, this agenda must give hope to the emaciated African child that the 21st century is indeed Africa’s century”.
Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen
The Doha development round has stalled despite seven years of negotiations. We are convinced that trade and increased market access will make a major contribution to the achievement of the MDGs. In this regard it is our submission that the Doha round of trade negotiations should not be allowed to die, but must remain focused on “development” as it was originally envisaged. We must rededicate our efforts to ensure the successful completion of the Doha Development Round.
In recent years we have all witnessed the devastating effects of climate change especially on the Island States. The hurricanes have become more frequent and more vicious, so are droughts, floods or unpredictable extreme weather patterns in the rest of the world.
Climate change needs an urgent response. Having agreed in Bali last year on a roadmap for negotiations, it is our hope that the negotiations to be completed in Copenhagen in 2009, will necessarily set the stage for more concerted actions by all countries to address climate change and all its manifestations, with the developed countries taking the lead.
South Africa commits itself to approach the preparations for Copenhagen constructively and with a view to reaching an agreement that is ambitious, balanced and inclusive.
We join the many leaders of the world who have expressed their support for the fundamental reform to the system of global governance including the United Nations as well as the Bretton Woods Institutions.
It is important to understand that the critical issues facing the world today - the current financial, food and energy crises – cannot be addressed effectively when so many other countries and regions of the world are left out of the key decision making processes of important institutions of global governance. South Africa stands ready to work with other members of the United Nations to advance the goal of reform.
Equally, the reform of the UN Security Council need not be re-emphasised. We reiterate our view that a reformed Security Council would have more legitimacy and its decisions would have more credibility. We welcome the recent decision to launch in the General Assembly the inter-governmental negotiations on Security Council reform, to discuss plans for expanding the Security Council on both the non-permanent and permanent categories.
It remains a travesty of justice that Africa, which constitutes a large portion of the work of the Council, is not represented in the permanent category. Unless the ideals of freedom, justice and equality become the character of the UN- the dominant will continue to dictate to the dominated while the dream of the dominated will forever be deferred.
My country will, in December this year, complete its tenure as a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council. We are indeed privileged to serve the peoples of Africa and the world in this capacity. This was indeed a historic first for us as a young democracy. In this capacity we were indeed honoured to contribute meaningfully to global efforts to create peace and stability in all regions of the world. Accordingly, we express the humble gratitude of the people of our country to the general membership of the UN for the trust placed on us in helping the world discharge this mandate.
During our tenure, the Security Council also focused on the important question of the enhancement of the relationship between the UN and regional organisations, in particular the African Union. We were honoured to be able to contribute to this work. We congratulate the Secretary-General for appointing the AU / UN panel of distinguished personalities whose mandate is to explore financing modalities for AU led peacekeeping missions.
Peace continues to elude the Middle East. As South Africa, we participated in the Annapolis Conference in 2007 with great expectation and hope that progress would indeed be made to advance the goal of peace in that region. We will continue to support all international efforts to help the people of Palestine and Israel in their endeavour to find a lasting peace to their challenges, leading to the establishment of a viable Palestinian state, co-existing side by side with the state of Israel existing within secure borders. We understand fully well the pain, suffering and agony that conflict brings to bear on the lives of ordinary people- particularly women and children. These ordinary souls continue to cry out to this assembly of the world as they have done in the past, to help bring about an end to the conflict.
South Africa will continue to work with the sister peoples of DRC, Burundi and Cote D’Ivoire in efforts to consolidate peace and democracy in their respective countries. With regard to Zimbabwe, you most certainly are aware of the recent developments, led by our former President Thabo Mbeki in his capacity as the SADC-Facilitator, which culminated in the signing of an agreement between the main political protagonists in the country.
We hope that the leadership of Zimbabwe will soon finalise aspects of this agreement to enable the formation of a new government that will help lay the basis to address the political and economic challenges facing their country. SADC, the African Union and the Facilitator stand as guarantors of this agreement. We call on the international community to spare neither strength nor effort in lending a hand to the people of Zimbabwe as they embark on the difficult path of reconciliation and reconstruction.
The situation in Sudan, especially Darfur, remains a matter of great concern. South Africa will continue to do whatever it can both bilaterally and in the context of the African Union and the United Nations, to help the people of Sudan find peace among themselves.
We remain concerned about the impasse on the question of Western Sahara. South Africa is committed to seeking a just, mutually acceptable and lasting solution to the problem.
This year also marks the sixtieth anniversary of the adoption of the Universal Declaration on Human Rights. During the past six decades the Declaration has remained the key standard for human rights, justice and dignity.
We should therefore use the period of this anniversary to strengthen our resolve to defend human rights. South Africa has also had the honour to be reviewed under the Universal Peer Review Mechanism of the new Human Rights Council. We were also honoured with the appointment of our own Justice Navi Pillai to lead this very important international institution.
In conclusion, Mr President
We wish to reiterate our belief in the centrality of the United Nations. In the Millennium Declaration we reaffirmed that the United Nations “is the indispensable common house of the entire human family, through which we will seek to realise our universal aspirations for peace, cooperation and development”. Leading South Africa’s delegation to the Millennium Summit was our Former President, Thabo Mbeki, who reminded this very assembly that “billions among the living, struggle to survive in conditions of poverty, deprivation and under-development, as offensive to everything human as anything we decry about the second millennium”.
It is this understanding that has correctly informed the engagement of successive leaders of our democratic state with this august body over the years. In this regard, we are touched and humbled by the kind comments made in this Assembly by the various Heads of State and Government and Heads of delegations, directed at our immediate Former President Thabo Mbeki. We most certainly shall through our government, convey these sentiments to that noble son of our people, continent and citizen of the world.
Accordingly, from this podium may I also express our sincere gratitude to the general membership of the UN for the support former President Mbeki and our country received over the past nine and half years of his stewardship of our country. As the leadership of our country passes on, we reaffirm that South Africa, under the leadership of President Kgalema Motlanthe, shall indeed continue to be a trusted and dependable partner in the common endeavour to strengthen our institutions of multilateralism, moving from the correct premise that multilateralism remains the only hope in addressing challenges facing humanity today, at the centre of which is the struggle against poverty and underdevelopment.
I thank you.

Washing wheels of vehicle is common to do. When it is conventional cars, it will not be too difficult. The size is quite small. Then, it takes less effort since commonly the cars run on the road. Even when the cars have just run on the soil, it is still easy to clean. It will be different when it is trucks and other heavy vehicles in construction sites. The soil and other kinds of dirt can be thick. Then, sizes of wheels are bigger. It surely takes much effort. However, the construction industries cannot just ignore the dirty vehicles since later it can cause problems. That is why it is necessary to have good wheel wash machine that will be responsible to clean the wheels perfectly before the vehicles leave the site.
Wheel Wash System from MobyDick
Washing the wheel will take time and effort. It depends on how the wheels are cleaned. When it is done manually by people, it takes times and even it will consume much water that later will bring higher costs on the bills. Of course, the construction industry does not want to have this inefficiency. That is why it is good to have wheel washing machine that can be operated easily. In order to answer the expectation, there is wheel washing system from MobyDick. This is provided in a form of engine that will operate effectively to wash the wheels and lower parts of the trucks or other vehicles in the construction site. This can work well in cleaning. Even when the sludge and other kinds of dirt are thick, the machine still can handle it well.
Models and Technology in Wheel Washing Machine
There are some reasons of choosing the wheel washing system from MobyDick. One of them is about the models of its machines. There are many models with different specifications and sizes. Most of them bring modular concept. It provides easy installation and later it can also be unpacked and moved easily. This is very suitable for construction industries that always change the site location once the construction or project is done. Then, the technology utilized in its wheel washing machine gives efficiency and effectiveness. All parts are calculated and designed properly. Thus, it can provide good cleaning and washing process without taking much power and water. By doing so, cleaning process can be fast and it still does not bring big costs.


Source: Cloud computing boon for SMEs, co-operatives | The Herald 31 OCT, 2019
Tawanda Musarurwa and Chipo Chaumba
Leading information technology system integrator, Sybyl Limited, has proposed to set up a cloud-based core banking system for small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) and cooperatives in the country.
Cloud computing is the on-demand availability of computer system resources, especially data storage and computing power, without direct active management by the user.
Sybyl director cloud services Mr Sunil Varghese told The Herald Finance & Business that placing Zimbabwean SMEs and co-operatives on the cloud can also help with improving their access to financial services.
“It also addresses the issue of financial inclusion. We believe that when we start focusing on everybody, no matter how big or how small they are, and we support them with the technologies that we have been highlighting here it results in greater financial inclusion. It’s a platform where they can process their payrolls, their sales, their documents, it has endless ability for applications.
“And our services are reasonably priced, as you might know just setting up an own data centre can run into millions of dollars,” said Mr Varghese.
Sybyl’s cloud-based banking solutions cover all aspects of banking — from retail, to corporate, to universal. Their solutions include: core banking solution, internet banking, cheque truncation systems (CTS), anti-money laundering (AML), credit risk management system, mobile banking services, mobile wallet & agency banking, EFT Switch, prepaid card solutions, card management software, and ATM control & monitoring software.
Other solutions include reconciliation and settlement software, business process automation, banking software solutions, cash management suite, end-to-end integrated credit risk management system, electronic bill presentment and payment application, mobile wallet and agency banking, automate customer on-boarding and KYC process, and enterprise resource planning (ERP).
Added Sybyl general manager banking solution Mr Tejaswi Tanjore: “As Sybyl we believe that Zimbabwe has no other option but to bounce back, and for you to bounce back, the economy always has to be supported by technology to address all the concerns and the economic challenges that the country is currently facing. We are trying to bring in the best technology, known as open stack technology and all the solutions that it offers.
“We are focusing on the smallest enterprises. Many small players want to get into the market, but the stumbling block for a number of these small players is technology. They can’t afford technology, but they need the solutions it offers.”
Sybyl will partner with TelOne, with regards to the latter’s data center capacities.
The IT system integrator has also since engaged local firms such as FBC Bank, NetOne, Disruptive Technologies Africa, Umtanashi Finance and the Central Association of Co-operative Unions, among others.
Sybyl Limited has a regional presence in East Africa, in countries namely Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda and Tanzania.

So, I’m somewhere between a novice and intermediate seamstress. I’ve worked with several sewing patterns before, and have never had any trouble piecing together the pieces. This is my first time using a Burda pattern (#7388), and I cannot for the life of me figure out how this sweetheart neckline bodice pieces together. The edges for the bodice center front and the center sides that are supposed to be seamed together aren’t even kind of the same shape.
I was able to get a somewhat working version of the bodice, but I was only able to do that by flipping the center side pieces upside down from how they were meant to be attached to the center front. But still, because of the differently shaped edges, there is a lot of fabric left over at the seam edge, so I know this can’t be right.
Can someone please help me figure out what I’m doing wrong or what I’m missing here? Thank you all so much in advance!!

The successive dismissals of the Mozambican Minister of the Interior, Amade Miquidade, and of the Minister of Defense, Jaime Neto, are debated. According to our sources, President Filipe Nyusi wishes to give several ministerial portfolios to the military.
As the war on terror in northern Mozambique appears to be drawing to a close, especially thanks to the military intervention of Rwanda and Southern African Community (SADC) countries, President Filipe Nyusi took matters into his own hands by sacking ministers. The Minister of the Interior, Amade Miquidade, sacked on Tuesday, and that of Defense, a very close ally of the president, Jaime Neto, sacked last Wednesday, were the first victims of the announced reshuffle.
On the side of the presidency, no explanation was given. Especially since the announced end of the crisis in the north is not a sufficient reason. Indeed, with the military victory against the terrorists Shebabs and Ansar al-Sunna, but also the weakening of the insurgents of the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), Mozambique is gradually finding peace.
Misunderstanding within the ruling party
A senior military official told Journal de Afrique that two soldiers were approached to take over from sacked ministers. Lázaro Menete, former chief of staff, and Bernardino Rafael, commander of the Mozambican police and general of the army, had been chosen by the president for the Interior and Defense. However, the head of state has changed his mind. “Under Western pressure,” the same source tells us.
The post of Minister of the Interior was therefore finally given to the director of the national immigration service (SENAMI), Arsenia Massingue, army colonel. And, this Thursday, General Cristovao Chume, a key man in the Nyusi regime, trained in the United States, became the new Minister of Defense.
In the camp of the Front for the Liberation of Mozambique (FRELIMO), the political party of Nyusi, executives denounce a "Western following" on the part of the Mozambican president. Especially since the sacked ministers were long-time allies of Nyusi and Massingue and Chume have little weight in the Mozambican political sphere. Their appointment to important posts, as well as the inexplicable change of mind of the Head of State, raise certain questions.
Mozambican President Filipe Nyusi appoints Arsenia Massingue as Interior Minister, the first woman to hold the post in Mozambican history https://t.co/5sXcSoxAMH
- Dr Andrew E. Poku-Yaw Tchie (@DrATchie) November 12st
What is Filipe Nyusi afraid of?
If they had taken place three months earlier, in the midst of a security crisis, these appointments could have made sense because of the rampant insecurity and the terrorist threat in Mozambique. But today, armed groups in northern Mozambique are at bay after an offensive by the African military coalition made up of the Mozambique armed forces, a Rwandan contingent and SADC troops.
At the political level, the Mozambican president is widely criticized, in particular because of a matter of financing his electoral campaign of 2019, but also because of the affair of "The hidden debt" following an audit of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in 2017. Despite everything, the presidency is not unduly threatened, the political opposition in Mozambique being absent subscribers, especially since the death of Nyusi's best enemy , Alfonso Dhlakama, RENAMO candidate in 2018, as well as that of the leader of the armed wing of his party, Mariano Nhongo, on October 11.
Filipe Nyusi thus places himself as the only presidential politician in the country. However, it is weakened by financial scandals. Despite everything, he should run for a third and final term in January 2024. This leaves the 62-year-old man, at most, seven years in power. In addition, the Mozambican president is accused of using the terrorist threat to suppress his political opponents.
By militarizing the government, is Filipe Nyusi seeking to protect his domination on the political scene and get rid of all opposition? And, above all, is he aiming for the presidency for life, despite a Constitution that would prohibit him from running for a fourth term?
#Mozambique's President Filipe #Nyusi and former leader Armando #Guebuza are still at loggerheads over the '#tunabonds'scandal. The next move could throw #Maputo's political elite into greater turmoil. #Frelimo https://t.co/bFkM0iD7bJ

The Edo State Command of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency says it has arrested 103 suspects for trafficking illicit drugs.
Peter Ogar, Head of Operations and Intelligence in the command, made the disclosure in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Benin on Monday.
Mr Ogar said the suspects, comprised of 88 males and 15 females, were arrested between July and September in various parts of the state.
He explained that more than 4,000 kilograms of suspected Indian hemp was seized within the period while 14 farmlands of about 10 hectares cultivated with the plant, were destroyed.
Mr Ogar however said that the command had rehabilitated 79 drug addicts who had reunited with their families, while two are still undergoing intensive rehabilitation.
“It is peak period for traffickers because it is the harvest season,” he noted, adding that this has led to upsurge in arrest of suspects and seizures by the agency.
The Assistant Commander disclosed that the NDLEA had filed 18 cases in courts within the period, while several others are pending.
Governor Okorocha, wife carted away 67 vehicles – Imo task force alleges
Chairman of the Imo State Task Force on Recovery of Government Assets, Jasper Ndubuaku, has alleged that the immediate past governor of the state, Rochas Okorocha and members of his family carted away 67 vehicles belonging to the state.
Speaking to newsmen yesterday June 26th, Ndubuaku said that Okorocha’s ADC took away five vehicles while his driver went home with one Prado Jeep. He lamented that other goods carted away from government house, ministries and parastatals included generating sets, chairs, television sets, kitchen utensils, buddings and cutleries all valued at over N50 billion
Giving a breakdown of what was allegedly taken by the outgone administration, Ndubuaku said that the 27 local government chairmen, all the 30 commissioners and special advisers went away with government property.
He alleged that the former governor went home with all functional vehicles in Government House including bullet proof cars, back-up cars and outriders motorcycles, while his wife went home with one bullet proof vehicle. Ndubuaku said that all the 27 payloaders for construction and 27 graders bought by the Ikedi Ohakim administration were carted away by the Okorocha administration. The chairman expressed shock and alleged that it was one of Okorocha’s sisters, who got the contract to equip each of the offices at N5 million each, all the offices were stripped bare.
“The looting spree was unprecedented. It was as if government never existed as all paraphernalia of government were carted away. Even the 150 transformers bought by Okorocha for electioneering stunt all disappeared to thin air.” “Some of them told us that the cars were accidented somewhere in Abuja and Jos and we have told them to take us there.”
He said that all the alleged looted property and their custodians have been identified, stressing that the essence of the briefing was to warn them to bring the property back before members of the task force swoop on them. He said that if the advice were not heeded, government would have no option but go to their houses and take anything insight, including criminalising their action and prosecuting them accordingly.
I spent only N1.2bn on funerals not N2.3bn – Bauchi ex-gov, Mohammed Abubakar tells successor Bala Mohammed
Former governor of Bauchi State, Mohammed Abubakar, has denied claims he spent N2.3 billion to organise funerals for some of the indigenes of the state. The former governor said he only spent N1.2 billion on funeral materials and not N2.3 billion as alleged. Abubakar said this in a statement released by his media aide, Mukhtar Jibril.
The former governor was reacting to claims made by his successor, Bala Mohammed, that he spent N2.3 billion on funeral materials in five months.
Abubakar in a statement said the purchase for the Funeral materials passed through “due process” and awarded to qualified contractors.
“In response to media reports on the issue of mahogany and shrouds procured for burials, we want to state that this is a practice inherited by the government of Abubakar from its predecessors. Considering its significance and impact on the people, especially the bereaved, it decided to continue with it.
“However, the project, like any other of the same magnitude, was awarded to qualified contractors. Based on the available verifiable record, N1,270,743,520 had been expended since its inception and not the exaggerated figure of N2.3 billion mischievously posted on the social media by critics. We urge the good people of the state to disregard this insinuation as an act of desperation by elements of retrogression.
Besides, every contract awarded was subjected to the scrutiny and appraisal of the due process agency in accordance with public procurement law, contract agreement, payment of tax due on such contracts and other requirements”.
Graduates who skip NYSC can contest for governorship- Court rules
A High Court in Abuja has ruled that graduates who did not participate in the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) scheme are qualified to run for governorship election.
Justice M.A Mohammed gave the ruling in a pre-election suit filed by Senator Iyabo Anisulowo, challenging the elegibility of Ogun state governor, Dapo Abiodun, contesting the state governorship election. Abiodun in his CFOO1 form submitted to INEC last year, indicated he did not have NYSC discharge certificate. Abiodun did not participate in the compulsory NYSC program, even though he finished his first degree in 1986.
Anisulowo had asked the court to disqualify Abiodun as the APC governorship candidate since he failed to participate in the mandatory NYSC scheme.
At the hearing of the case yesterday June 26th, Wale Ajayi, the governor’s counsel, requested that the court set aside the case, since it was never stated that the participation in the NYSC scheme was a criterion to hold public office.
Delivering judgement, Justice Mohammed held that the NYSC Act does not make provision for the disqualification of a candidate who failed to participate in its scheme. He said that a candidate can only be disqualified under Section 177 of the constitution which states that “a person shall be qualified for election to the office of Governor of a State if:
(a) he is a citizen of Nigeria by birth;
(b) he has attained the age of thirty-five years;
(c) he is a member of a political party and is sponsored by that political party; and
(d) he has been educated up to at least School Certificate level or its equivalent.”
He dismissed the case afterwards.

The ongoing series has got yet another reason to make things interesting for both the sides before heading to Boxing Day Test. The series victory against Australia would help India to consolidate their position at the top of the ICC Test Rankings chart. On the other side, the hosts are also looking for a victory after tasting a lot of disappointments in the recent past.
Want to be a professional cricketer?
Currently, across the globe, a lot of red-ball cricket is carrying out, which makes things interesting. As many as, six top-playing nations are being involved in the bilateral series. Each series victory by any side is going to make an impact on the rankings, with only a few points difference between each side.
Six Nations are involved in the bilateral Test series:
All three series have a bearing on the top five positions. With South Africa having the advantage of knowing what they can reap rewards in home conditions.
Currently placed third, South Africa have a chance to leapfrog England to second place. But also, faces the danger of being overtaken by their rivals Pakistan and slipping to sixth place.
South Africa are two points behind England and a 2-0 win will take them to 108 points and above England on decimal points. A 3-0 win will carry South Africa to 110 points, and to within one point of India, should India lose the remaining two matches to Australia. On the other hand, a 3-0 series loss will see South Africa drop to 99 points with Pakistan reaching 100 points.
In the other ongoing Test series, New Zealand, who had a chance to go up to 109 points and second place with a 2-0 series win, will now be looking to reach 107 points by winning the second match after the opening match ended in a draw.
Sri Lanka will be on 91 points in such a scenario but go up to 96 if they win the second Test. New Zealand will slip to 100 points if they lose. All in all, an intriguing cricket is on its way for the cricketing fanatics.
