What is clean protein?
Clean protein refers to protein sources that are minimally processed and free from added hormones, antibiotics, and artificial ingredients. Common examples of clean protein include organic chicken, grass-fed beef, wild-caught fish, and plant-based options like quinoa, tofu, and lentils. These protein sources are beneficial for muscle recovery and growth after a workout, as they provide essential amino acids without the added chemicals often found in processed proteins. Consuming clean protein can help support overall health and fitness goals.
Health benefits of clean protein
After working out, consuming clean protein can aid in muscle recovery, repair damaged tissues, and promote muscle growth. It also helps to maintain a healthy weight by increasing feelings of fullness and reducing overall calorie intake. Incorporating clean protein into post-workout meals can also support the immune system and facilitate better workout performance.
Types of clean protein sources
Protein from animal sources, such as chicken, turkey, fish, and eggs, is considered clean protein. Plant-based sources like quinoa, lentils, tofu, and chickpeas are also excellent options. Whey and casein protein, derived from milk, are widely used supplements. Additionally, pea protein is a popular choice for those with dairy allergies or who follow a vegan diet. It’s important to choose protein sources that align with your dietary preferences and any allergies or food sensitivities.
Importance of clean protein after a workout
After a workout, consuming clean protein is important for muscle recovery and growth. Protein provides the building blocks for repairing and building muscles, helping them to become stronger. Clean protein sources like chicken, fish, tofu, and eggs are easily digestible and help with muscle repair. Including clean protein in your post-workout meal can also help curb hunger and support weight management. A good rule of thumb is to consume around 20-30 grams of protein within 30 minutes to an hour after your workout to optimize muscle recovery.
How clean protein supports muscle recovery
Clean protein helps in muscle recovery after a workout by providing essential amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. It supports the repair and growth of muscle tissues, helping you regain strength and energy after exertion. Additionally, clean protein helps reduce muscle soreness and promote overall recovery, enabling you to perform better in subsequent workout sessions.
Clean protein and weight management
After a workout, including clean protein in your diet can help with weight management. Clean protein contains essential amino acids that promote muscle recovery and growth, which can aid in weight loss and maintenance. Additionally, clean protein helps you feel full, reducing the likelihood of overeating and supporting a healthy metabolism.
Clean protein and energy levels
After a workout, consuming clean protein can help replenish the energy levels in your body. Clean protein sources like chicken, fish, or plant-based options provide the necessary amino acids that your muscles need to recover and grow. By consuming clean protein, you can maintain steady energy levels throughout the day and support your overall health and fitness goals. Remember to choose high-quality protein sources and consume them within 30 minutes to an hour after your workout for the best results.
Incorporating clean protein into your post-workout routine
After your workout, adding clean protein to your routine helps your muscles recover and grow. Protein provides essential amino acids, the building blocks of muscles, and aids in muscle repair. Some clean protein options include lean meats, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy, and plant-based sources like tofu, edamame, and lentils. Choosing clean protein sources is important, as they typically have fewer added sugars, unhealthy fats, and artificial ingredients. Including clean protein in your post-workout meal or snack can help you achieve your fitness goals and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Recommended daily intake of clean protein
The recommended daily intake of clean protein after a workout is around 0.6 to 0.9 grams per pound of body weight for those who are regularly active or trying to build muscle. For example, if you weigh 150 pounds, you would need to consume between 90 to 135 grams of clean protein a day. Good sources of clean protein include lean meats, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy products, legumes, and plant-based protein powders. Remember to stay hydrated and have this protein intake within 30 minutes to an hour after your workout for the best results.
Conclusion and tips for choosing clean protein sources
When it comes to choosing clean protein sources, it’s important to prioritize whole food options like lean meats, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy, and plant-based sources such as legumes, nuts, and seeds. These choices provide essential nutrients and amino acids to support muscle recovery and growth after a workout. To ensure the best quality, look for organic, grass-fed, or free-range options. Also, consider the environmental impact and ethical practices of the sources you choose. Prioritizing clean protein sources can help you maximize the health benefits of your post-workout nutrition.

Why do some people react to atrocities from such a blind perspective? For example, consider the height of the various “Godfathers,” portrayed as villains who gunned down people who refused to pay protection money, or refused to pay exorbitant interest on loans. And of course, people who would interfere with the Mafia control of gambling and prostitution. Including public servants like police officers, judges, and politicians who were on the payroll of certain crime families. All this, and more, such behaviors, when exposed to public security resulted in public outrage. The question remains; why?
The answer, one suspects, if the public was surveyed as to their outrage. The reasons would be many and varied. Maybe one answer could be that such behavior is unlawful and must be eradicated in order to protect public safety and welfare. Much to public satisfaction the “Godfather’s” of America’s crime families have been eradicated to just story telling in books and movies.
Another question must be asked. What is the American public going to do about the atrocities of this current American administration under the helm of George W. Bush? So as to reduce him, to the story telling of books and movies as a nemesis to the public safety and welfare. Well, we know part of that answer, President elect Barack Obama.
Again, should the public be surveyed, one suspects that the responses would be many and varied. And here, one suspects, most Americans saw the behavior of George W. Bush as being unlawful and disruptive to the public safety and welfare. Therefore, the eradication of George W Bush from office was necessary to protect the public safety and welfare. But a larger question, looms glaringly at the American public. Are we just going to allow Bush and Cheney ride of into the sunset of history? It would seem that those two should stand trial in the Netherlands, International court of Justice as war criminals.
It is more complicated than that though because it is most unfortunate that politicians of both parties are ever as much public villains as the “Godfathers” of yesterday. Because they gun down the nations sons and daughters, husbands and wives, by sending them to die in a criminal war. A war that they can not win. A war that will bring physical destruction to Americans through out Tampa Bay and the nation. A war that will psychologically destroy the American psyche. Take for instance, the Muslim college student at the University of North Carolina who drove his Jeep Cherokee across the campus injuring nine people. He told the authorities that he was avenging the death of Muslims all over the world. And consider this, the candidate of change, picked a war hawk in Senator Biden to be his Vice President. And it seems that the Clinton administration is coming back into power. Meaning it will be politics as usual with the Obama administration denying the public their day in court both at home and abroad with Bush and Cheney, unless.
It is reported that the Muslim community in America exceeds seven million with as many as three and half million being African Americans. Authorities say that they have found a common denominator in the cases involving the Muslim community in acts of violence against the United States. It’s a belief that there is a war being waged against Muslims, and that they have to avenge it. Such thinking is supported in their Holy Book, the Qur’an. Where it is recorded in Sura 8:12-14, “Your Lord revealed to the angels: I am with you: give the believers firmness; I will put terror in the hearts of the disbelievers-strike above their necks and strike fingertips. That was because they opposed God and His Messenger, God punishes them severely. That is what you get! taste that!-and the torment of the fire awaits the disbelievers.”
Gee! that’s no different from what evangelical fundamental Christians assert when the bomb public buildings. They often justify their attacks as defending their belief system. Wonder if religion is more of a problem than a solution. Seems that Saddam Hussein secular government in Iraq provided more stability for Iraqis and the world community. All this world chaos is because of George W. Bush. Seems that George W. Bush and Richard B. Cheney should have been sent to the defendant’s box and not Saddam Hussein.
To make matters more serious authorities have concluded that at least 1,000 pure sympathizers of Al Qaeda are living in the United States. They also think that at least 300 of these people are extremists. They have also asserted that those numbers are most likely on the conservative side.
This is what the American and world community owes to mobster like behavior of George W. Bush and Richard Cheney.
Every tax dollar spent on Bush’s criminal war must be view as extortion money taken from working Americans against their will, and spent on a criminal enterprise. Extortion money because it denies Americans money that should be spent on the public welfare. Like a free national health insurance program. Just like the one that serves the health care needs of the President and those men and women in Congress. Extortion money because it denies America’s youth of a free higher education. Extortion money because it denies affordable money for housing, and many other social programs that would benefit the public welfare.
Prostitution is considered a dehumanizing behavior forced upon women. An enterprise that has much benefit for mobsters but no benefits for prostitutes? Is it possible to equate stolen elections with prostitution? Sure, because it forces an acceptance of a candidate by mobster like decree with no benefit for the voting public. Which occurred in 2000 and the 2004 elections. Thus impounding democracy, and creating a dehumanized psyche through out America. The electorate still needs justice for those crimes.
America is gambling with its destiny as long as it allows this trend to continue. The prostitution and gambling controlled by America’s “Godfathers” of yesterday can not compare to our modern day “Godfather’s” in the congress and White House. Will it stop with the Obama administration? The signals Obama is sending as he forms his new government suggest governance as usual.
Do not be tricked by the rhetoric of democrats who were swept to victory this historic month. This writer is not so certain that this new government that takes office in January. Who by shocking circumstances and strange occurrences found themselves victorious. Nothing will change because they will paint the house beige instead of white. That is not the substantive change that Americans crave and need. The two party majority has cast the mold. The democrats helped create that mold. As the governing party they will expand that mold to be more restrictive and oppressive.
Meaningful change will only occur when Americans unite and create for themselves what they envision to be the function of government. This writer doubts that enough Americans are there yet to make such a government a reality. So things will most likely get a whole lot worse before they get better.

Abstract : >Coiling of steel sheet is one of the easiest methods adopted by steel mills for the compact transportation of bulk sheet material to truck manufacturers for making 'C' shaped side frame rails. The coiling-uncoiling operation induces residual stresses in the steel sheet due to plastic strain hardening. This initial imperfection in the form of residual stresses remains in the plain web and flange areas of the rail sections. In corner areas of frames, increase in residual stresses are observed due to severe plastic deformation from forming operation than the coilinguncoiling operation. More accurate consideration of the residual stresses becomes necessary when the behaviour of truck side frame rail web and flange sections, derived from different coil diameters are assessed. In this work, micro-hardness measurement is employed to predict the extent of plastic deformation at different coil diameter locations. The residual stresses induced by the coiling-uncoiling operation is assessed using the X-ray diffraction technique for steel coil diameters ranging from 600 mm to 1800 mm. Fatigue tests on samples extracted from different coil diameters indicate that fatigue life increases with the increase in coil diameter of the sample. The fatigue life of the annealed flat test sample was found to be higher than the fatigue life of samples derived from different coil diameter locations of steel coils received from steel mills

Any open wound is a potential entry point for staph bacteria. If appropriate, treat wounds with antibiotic creams, ointments or sprays to kill germs that can cause infections and keep them covered for protection. Cover wounds with clean, dry bandages and follow your healthcare provider’s instructions on how to care for your wound. Pus exuded from sores can spread bacteria to other body parts or other people, so avoid touching the affected area.
Anything that has touched an infected area of skin is contaminated and poses a health risk. If you have an infected wound, launder clothing and sheets with detergent and hot water, add bleach if appropriate, and place in a dryer using a hot setting.
Wash your hands frequently. Hand washing is the best defense for reducing your risk of infection. Thoroughly lather hands with soap, rubbing for at least 15 seconds, then dry with a single-use paper towel. Cleanse with anti-bacterial hand sanitizers whenever washing is not convenient.
Avoid sharing personal items, such as towels, soap, sports equipment, razors, clothing or any object that may have had contact with the infected wound or bandage.
If you participate in sports, shower following each event. Skin-to-skin contact is one of the primary ways MRSA is being spread among athletes. Launder all uniforms or active wear after each use.
Reduce the risk of toxic shock syndrome by frequently changing tampons at lease every 4-6 hours. Try to alternate the use of tampons and sanitary napkins.

Cyclists' Choice (Mr. Control) - Fixie Tool with Water Bottle Cage BoltsThis handy, yet simple, lockring tool is a chrome plated, stainless steel multi tool useful for basic fixie, track, and single speed bike needs.There was a discussion started about how the Mr. Control Lock-ring tool couldn't possibly be stainless since it is magnetic. Well, lucky for you guys, I am here to dispel that myth. How is that you say? It sticks to a magnet! Well I will tell you. It's chrome plated. Hell, you could chrome plate one of my turds and it would stick to a magnet as well. Don't believe me that this is stainless AND chrome plated? Take a look at the two holes in the side of the tool itself. You will notice that the color changes to a slight brown. That's the raw stainless steel poking out.So where does that leave us. Well for $22.19 (Dealer Cost) you get yourself a Chrome Plated, Stainless Steel lock-ring remover. But wait... there's more! You also get a 12 pointed 15mm box wrench for axle nuts or bottom bracket bolts. Sounds too good to be true you say. Oh we're just getting started. Happen to ride around with bottled beer? That's right, you get a bottle opener as well. Need a place to put this fancy ass wrench? Guess what, you also get some trick gold anodized alloy water bottle cage bolts. So for $22.19 you get a multi tool that will never rust even if the Chrome Plating wears through. Sounds like a good deal to me. The Trixie Fixies tool won't do that.

A good quality grade stake should meet certain criteria to ensure accuracy and reliability in construction and surveying projects. Here are some factors that determine a good quality grade stake:
- Material: Grade stakes can be made of various materials, such as wood or metal. A good quality grade stake should be made of durable materials that can withstand exposure to the elements and heavy construction activities without warping, bending, or breaking.
- Size: Grade stakes should be of a standard size to ensure consistency and ease of use. Typically, grade stakes are 1″ x 2″ x 24″ or 1″ x 2″ x 36″ in size.
- Accuracy: A good quality grade stake should be accurately marked with the correct elevation or slope measurement. The markings should be clearly visible and easy to read, even in low light conditions.
- Stability: Grade stakes should be able to remain stable and upright in the ground, even when subjected to wind or other environmental factors. A good quality grade stake may have a pointed end or be coated with a material to help it stay in place.
- Longevity: A good quality grade stake should be able to maintain its accuracy and stability over a long period of time. This means it should be resistant to decay, rust, or other forms of damage that can compromise its reliability.
- Cost: Finally, a good quality grade stake should be reasonably priced and provide good value for its cost. While cheaper stakes may be available, they may not meet the same standards for durability, accuracy, or longevity, and may end up costing more in the long run due to errors or rework.

The world’s greatest governments and industries are raising their hands to fight intellectual property theft and the sale of counterfeit goods.
But rather than shrugging off a problem that has no solution, US retail giant Amazon is wielding its own crime-fighting force to take the fight to purveyors of cheap knockoffs.
Amazon’s Counterfeit Crime Headquarters (CCU) said Wednesday morning that Chinese law enforcement officials had raided three operations in Guangdong and Jiangxi provinces and seized more than 240,000 counterfeit items. This week, we raised that limit even further.
Photos of high-end sporting goods, auto gear and other items taken by Chinese authorities after their raids look nothing like those seized by DEA agents in underground drug raids.
The seizure prevented counterfeit goods from reaching Amazon customers or being sold elsewhere in the supply chain, the company said in a statement. These counterfeit seizures, based on information from Amazon, follow similar actions by UK law enforcement, as well as efforts in California and New Jersey.
CCU alerts and cooperates with local law enforcement when it becomes aware of counterfeit activity involving Amazon vendors.
“Our efforts to identify and dismantle counterfeit organizations are going well,” said Kebal Smith, deputy general counsel and director of the Amazon Counterfeit Crime Unit. “We are grateful that law enforcement agencies have acted on our referrals and pursued these cases thoroughly. Counterfeit supply disrupts his chain and stems illicit revenue.”
According to Amazon, the seizure by China’s Public Security Bureau (PSB) “included more than 130,000 counterfeit car accessories and counterfeit brand labels that infringe on the intellectual property of many brands, including BMW, Porsche and General Motors.” Nearly 80,000 counterfeit luxury goods, over 30,000 counterfeit clothing items and counterfeit brand labels that infringed on the intellectual property of Hugo Boss, Puma, Under Armor, and more.”
Amazon also said it cooperated with China’s local PSB in an operation involving malicious individuals who illegally purchased government-issued personal IDs and business licenses in an attempt to register fraudulent Amazon seller accounts. As a result, 84 people were detained. Last year, Amazon said malicious individuals thwarted more than 2.5 million of her attempts to create new sales accounts around the world, preventing it from selling a single product.
Amazon fights counterfeit goods around the world, recently joining lawsuits with well-known brands such as Cartier, GE Appliances, WWE, Salvatore Ferragamo and FELCO. Through partnerships with brands, his CCU at Amazon is constantly finding new ways for counterfeiters to deceive customers and evade the law, the company said. The CCU uses that intelligence to enable law enforcement to track down bad actors.
In 2021, the CCU has sued or commissioned investigations of over 600 criminals in the US, UK, EU and China.
The CCU program launched in 2020 and remains the retail industry’s only known private enforcement tool. Mr. Smith is the sole attorney and general director of the program and has extensive experience as a state and federal prosecutor.
After a busy day traveling, Smith took time to respond to questions from Sourcing Journal via email, but declined to comment on how the seizure ranked compared to Amazon’s other interceptions.
SJ: What is the process of working with the authorities, especially the Chinese PSB? Are they generally cooperative with foreign business interests, or do they require some indulgence to take action?
Smith: Amazon shares information about confirmed malicious individuals with law enforcement. Thank you to all the great people in law enforcement around the world. We need more resources to track down and act on these criminals.
Our common goal is to disrupt these criminal networks by disrupting counterfeiting operations, stopping illegal revenues, and keeping counterfeit goods out of entire supply chains.
SJ: What year did the CCU program start? How has it grown? Also, how much staffing and training is involved?
Smith: Amazon’s Counterfeit Crime Unit (CCU) was launched in 2020 and is made up of machine learning scientists, software developers, expert investigators, and more. This is part of a broader effort to protect his 12,000+ stores around the world. In 2021, we have invested over $900 million in people, technology, tools and programs to keep our stores safe from fraud.
SJ: Is the CCU exclusive to Amazon, or do other retailers have similar units?
We are proud of the work that went into building the CCU team of former federal prosecutors, investigators, investigators and data scientists. This is a group of subject matter experts dedicated to stopping counterfeiters. No other retailer has as comprehensive a unit as CCU.
SJ: What would you say to people who might say cheap knockoffs are a victimless crime?
Smith: Intellectual property theft is not a victimless crime. Manufacturers, brands, retailers, their employees, and consumers are all adversely affected by counterfeiting. Counterfeiters rob brand owners of the value of their intellectual property and unfairly compete with honest entrepreneurs.
Counterfeiting is also a precondition for far more nefarious activities, such as drug trafficking, child exploitation, and terrorism. Counterfeiting is illegal in most countries, but for too long counterfeiters have not been held accountable for their crimes.
SJ: How have these raids and foreclosures affected the integrity of global markets so far?
Smith: Amazon strictly prohibits the sale of counterfeit products in our store. We know that trust is hard to earn and easy to lose. That’s why we focus on creating trustworthy shopping experiences every day. Prevent counterfeit goods from entering the supply chain and reaching shoppers.

The larynx, also called the voice box, is a short passageway formed by cartilage just below the pharynx in the neck. It forms the upper part of the windpipe (trachea). The larynx contains the vocal cords, which enable you to speak. It also includes a small piece of tissue called the epiglottis, which folds down to cover the larynx when you swallow, so food will not go down the air passages.
Laryngeal Cancer Risk Factors
In the U.S., more than 12,000 laryngeal cancers are diagnosed every year. About three in every 100,000 Americans develop this type of cancer. The most important risk factors are tobacco use (either smoking or chewing) and/or heavy drinking. Other risk factors include chronic chemical exposure and gastric reflux disease.
Symptoms of Laryngeal Cancers
- Chronic cough
- Difficulty swallowing, or pain when swallowing
- Lump in the neck
- Ear pain
- Difficulty breathing
The chance of a cure in laryngeal cancer patients is high when the cancer is diagnosed at an early stage. More than 75 percent of patients with early-stage laryngeal cancer survive at least five years, whereas only about 35 percent of the patients with late-stage laryngeal cancers survive five years. Overall, the five-year survival rate is over 62 percent for cancers of the larynx.

Its high photoelectric conversion rate and energy efficiency make it ideal for long-term use, reducing processing cost. The device features multiple safety features, including a built-in body temperature sensor and multiple safety alarms to ensure operator safety. Its welding tip only activates when the touch switch touches the workpiece, preventing accidental ignition. It also comes with a safety alarm that automatically locks the light after the workpiece has been removed.
It is durable
The Hand Held Laser Welding Machine is a versatile machine that combines the flexibility of laser with traditional welding. Its features include speed, durability, and a beautiful welding seam. It is a convenient alternative to electric and argon welding. The Hand Held Laser Welding Machine is suitable for a wide range of welding applications, from simple spot welding to continuous welding and can replace distribution boxes. The device is durable and has a small thermal effect area, making it an ideal tool for many welding jobs. The machine is also noiseless and stress-free.
It is safe
You may wonder if it is safe to use hand held laser welding machines. These machines are suitable for a variety of objects, including stainless steel and iron sheet. Handheld lasers are very easy to focus, and do not require electrodes. The hand held laser welding machines can be used on various materials, from elevators to ovens to doors. In addition, they are suitable for home use as well, because the beam produced is ultra-low noise and smokeless.
It is a good option for small workshops
If you own a small workshop, you can opt for a hand held laser welding machine. These machines are ideal for welding small parts and small pieces. They are easy to use and come with features such as continuous welding, adjustable output waveform, and special software to guarantee high speed and precious welds. The best part of hand held laser welding machines is their affordability. You can get one at a price range of $400 to $1500.
It has some disadvantages
There are several advantages of using a hand held laser welding machine, but there are also some drawbacks. For one thing, you should wear safety goggles while using a laser welding machine. Another disadvantage is that laser welding is extremely dangerous, especially to the skin and eyes. Oftentimes, operators don’t even notice the laser during processing. Additionally, many hand held laser welding machines are not equipped with safety measures. This means that even if you follow safety precautions while using the machine, you might be exposed to harmful rays.


The NHS in Buckinghamshire has given its response to the Better Healthcare in Bucks public consultation. The headline breakthrough is that the Board reviewed public feedback and decided that the new minor injuries and illness service in Wycombe must be available 24/7 to meet the needs of patients out of hours.
New services have also been agreed:
- Day assessment unit for older/frail people at Wycombe Hospital to allow them to be diagnosed and treated without overnight admission to hospital;
- Step-down ward for elderly and medical patients at Wycombe Hospital – who still require 24 hour hospital care but with less specialist input ;
- Telephone and email advice service for GPs and ambulance crews to help them better support patients out of hospital;
- Urgent next-day outpatient appointments to help patients avoid hospital admission; and
- Full specialist diagnostic support for GPs to help better manage patients in the community or at home.
In addition, the Board decided to:
- Centralise the A&E consultant team and specialist inpatient care for emergency medicine, respiratory, gastroenterology, medicine for older people and diabetes at Stoke Mandeville Hospital, complemented by the specialist stroke and cardiac services already based at Wycombe Hospital;
- Centralise and create a specialist breast care centre at Wycombe Hospital; and
- Retain routine vascular services at Wycombe Hospital but transfer complex vascular surgery to the John Radcliffe in Oxford.
Commenting on the decisions, Dr. Geoff Payne, Medical Director for the NHS Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire Clusters, said:
These proposals have been put forward by local doctors and other clinicians in the belief that they offer the safest and highest quality services for patients now and in the future. During our consultation period we tried to reach as many people as possible through a variety of methods, including public meetings, drop in sessions and through the media. All of our proposals received support, but people also raised a wide range of issues and concerns. As a Board, we need to take these into account. The proposals have, therefore, been accepted, but on the basis that we maintain a 24/7 urgent care service at Wycombe Hospital and that we continue our work on improving transport and car parking and on improving communications. We have also agreed to ensure that the benefits of these proposals are tracked in the public domain. Finally thank you to all of those people and organisations who contributed to this consultation in so many different ways.
The consultation itself saw 1,350 local people engaged face to face through public, partner and community meetings and road shows, with 400 of those attending the public meetings. 170 articles appeared on the consultation while the questionnaire was completed by 120 people who between them contributed over 1,000 comments.
As I have said before, I believe we need far greater direct public control over the deployment of health resources. It’s not good enough that the NHS is beyond the control of both those who pay for it and their elected representatives. It ought to be possible for the public to participate meaningfully in the necessary conversation about the balance between absolute quality, availability and cost of health services. In the meantime, I am glad the battle for 24/7 urgent care at the hospital appears to be won and I look forward to leading a delegation to see the Secretary of State.


Package thieves sneaking around Covington received a shock when they found out the mail they stole were set up by multiple law enforcement agencies.
The City of Covington and the King County Sheriff’s Office (KCSO) released a statement about how a team-effort led to multiple arrests last week. KCSO, Covington and the United States Postal Inspector Service (USPIS) completed a mail theft emphasis operation on Friday, Aug. 23. The operation included the multi-billion dollar business Amazon, which provided fake packages to tempt thieves.
“The operation involved placing bait packages on residential front porches and then arresting people who unlawfully removed the packages,” a press release posted on the city of Covington’s Facebook page. “The city of Covington was selected for the operation because of the number of complaints made to the USPIS by residents. Specific neighborhoods with higher rates of reported theft were targeted.”
KCSO and the Covington police made multiple arrests, and felony charges were referred to the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office against the individuals. One of the bait packages included a Vive virtual reality headset, valued over $1,300.
The city encouraged residents to continue to report thefts and other crimes to help gain the attention of local and national law enforcement agencies.
“Operations like this, and others occurring in Covington, are only possible because we are able to work with the community to identify problems and come up with innovative long term solutions,” the city press release stated. “Reports do matter because we can’t address problems unless we are made aware of them!”
For information specifically about reporting and preventing mail theft, visit the USPIS website, www.uspis.gov/tips-prevention/mail-theft. To report other “not-in-progress crimes” in Covington, call the King County Sheriff’s Office Communications Center at 206-296-3311 or report online at www.reporttosheriff.org.

The Jason Wu x ELOQUII Plus-Size Collection is the Holidays on a Hanger
I spend an inordinate amount of time thinking about how to dress “for the holidays.” I know the move is usually to level up the embellishments and textures; Sequins, golds, maybe a velvet blazer or two. Then again, I also try to actively fight against classic holiday fashion tropes — why can’t Christmas also be a time for a minimal, structured black jacket? Throughout this never-ending holiday dressing existential crisis, I have to contend with the fact that quality plus-size holiday clothing options feel few and far between, even when I'm not being picky.
Enter the new Jason Wu x ELOQUII holiday collaboration, a 13-piece plus-size collection that has elements of both traditional holiday dressing and modern practicality. It's the holidays on a hanger, but most of the pieces still feel like you could wear them all winter long.
“It was our goal to marry timeless grace with glamorous sensibility and bring about a standout collection for her this season,” Wu tells InStyle. “Holiday dressing options for women 14+ have not been readily available in the past and I wanted to make sure that the pieces within the collection fit every style aesthetic for any occasion.”
As a designer, Wu is known for his attention to structure, quality, and design, and his influence certainly shows in this collection — from the Jason Wu X ELOQUII Tux Blazer to the Jason Wu X ELOQUII Sequin Wrap Gown to the Jason Wu X ELOQUII Sweetheart Sheath Dress, each piece definitely says “holiday” but could theoretically be worked into a day-to-day wardrobe. OK, perhaps not the sequined dress — but maybe?
“Jason's design philosophy in creating beautiful, innovative, feminine clothing to empower women aligns with that of our steadfast philosophy at ELOQUII," says the brand's creative director, Jodi Arnold. "Fusing his design approach with our detailed, technical fit was the perfect marriage to provide our customer with a luxurious collection at an approachable price point.”
“We designed the Jason Wu x ELOQUII to not only work for holiday events, but can effortlessly be worked into her everyday wardrobe while consistently making a style statement,” Wu says. “My favorite piece in the collection would have to be the Sweetheart Neckline Dress—it is inspired by the 1950’s and Sophia Loren. That piece paired with a great heel and red lip is the perfect holiday outfit.”

Question about 1991 Dodge Dakota
1991 4x4 3.9. i lost my headlights, tail lights, radio, brake lights, door locks, tach gauge and cluster displays "anti lock" and "brake". all fuses check out. i tried to isolate each system to find maybe a bad ground, no luck. it started intemident (i would turn lights on or hit brakes and everything would go out) now everything is completely out. please help!
It could be a blown fusible link. These are hidden in the wiring on most cars either near the battery connections, or near the starter motor. To find, use a test lamp and start at the battery and work your way along the power wires until you get t a place where there is no power. There is usually a lump or narrow spot in a wire where the link is.

on the 93 there is a problem with the abs system. there are several things that could be wrong. if i remember correctly the module is behind the passenger side kick panel. you will find a single wire coming off the module. if you ground it then turn on the key it will flash the brake lights in the dash. count the flashes this is the code for the error. it will help in the repair. as for the second truck you have a leak that needs repaired.
Posted on Dec 21, 2008
SOURCE: 91 dodge dakota 4x4 5sp
fuse in panel ---low amp fuse to replace most likely and or dimmer it gone bad in the light switch
check the fuse first
bridge test the fused connection for continuity if good
follow to switch --anything loose? no?
checked the ground ?
probably the switch if no --I dunno but I can find out
hope that helps free advice

I would not do this due to your engine bay 2wd is not same as 4x4 but it can work but its very costly to mod your truck to make it work. your better off with real 4x4 truck than 2wd.

In order to choose the best colognes to attract women, you need to have an understanding of colognes. It's not the scent of a cologne alone that creates an alluring smell. It's the composition of a cologne combined with your personal body chemistry that creates a fragrance that can attract women. Your pheromones mixing with the smell of certain colognes attract the women. Here's the thing,everybody's body chemistry is slightly different. So, what smells good on you may not be the best cologne to attract women for the next man.
The first thing you need to know is there are seven different types of colognes. We have Citrus, Fougere, Floral, Oriental, Marine, Green and Chypre. These colognes are made in four different types concentrations which are EDC, EDT, EDP, and Parfum. Needless to say, there's a lot of options available if you're trying to find the best colognes to attract women. Don't fret, we're going to eliminate a lot of these "options" because they really won't help you at all.
- Say Goodbye. Stay away from Green (herbal), Floral ( flower), and Oriental (spicy). You don't want to use these colognes to attract women. Frankly, most of them are just too overwhelming, and do you really want to smell like flowers?
- Au Revoir. Stay away from EDP (Eau de Parfum) and Parfum concentrations. The concentration of the perfume oil and alcohol is too high. An inexperienced person will generally apply too much cologne with either concentration. You want to use your cologne to attract women, not suffocate them.
Ok then. What do we have left? EDC (Eau de cologne) and EDT (Eau de toilette) are the least concentrated forms of cologne at two to five percent perfume oil dissolved in water and alcohol and four to ten percent respectively. Use these types of cologne concentrations to attract women. All you need is a hint of the fragrance don't drown yourself in it. A dab on the neck, wrists and ears, that's it. Now lets go over the types of cologne left.
- Citrus. This type is usually described as fragrances with lemon, lime, and other citrus fruits and is usually associated with men’s cologne. These are arguably the best to use. They give off a fresh scent without smelling too fruity. Try "I Am King" by Sean John.
- Marine. These are scents that have ocean like smells. These are cool too. "Coolwater" is an older scent that's still really nice.
- Fougere. These are the scents with a similarity to pines and herbs. The best representation of this type of scent is Kenneth Cole "Black". This is a favorite of many guys from many walks of life.
- Chypre. These are the earthier smelling scents. Kenneth Cole "R.S.V.P." is great. It doesn't create an overwhelming presence.
Lets take a quick look at skin types.
- Dry Skin. People with dry skin can handle fragrances with slightly more kick because their bodily oils aren't mixing with the cologne as much. Fougere and Chypre types will work well. You can try the Marine and Citrus as well, but you may need to apply slightly more. Slightly. Remember, don't drown yourself in the smell. You just need a hint.
- Oily skin. If your skin is oily then the Citrus and Marine types will mix well with your body chemistry. Your oils will help to bring out the smells of these types. If you like the Chypre and Fougere types, you'll have to use them very sparingly.
- Don't mix scents. Each scent is created to help enhance your natural smells. Don't mix them or you'll probably stink. Not to mention, you don't want to have some weird reaction. Those of us with sensitive skin need to be very careful of this.
Finally, if you're wondering which scents are the best, ask one of your female friends to help you sample different types of colognes. Grab your girl buddy and hit the mall. Good luck.

Dr. Jeff Koloze is Campus College Chair for University College at the Columbus, Ohio Campus of the University of Phoenix. He received his Ph.D. from Kent State University. Dr. Koloze’s primary research interest is the presentation of the right-to-life issues of abortion, infanticide, and euthanasia in American fiction. Most of these papers have been published in conference proceedings and on the web. He has taught communications, English (undergraduate and graduate) and humanities courses at several colleges and universities in the Cleveland, Columbus, and Springfield, Ohio metropolitan areas.
2005 0-7734-5964-2 Religiously-based ethical aspects of the abortion issue have not been addressed in literary criticism; thus, determining the ethical content of twentieth-century American fiction concerning abortion will assist students of literature and those interested in this controversial issue. Specifically, the author identifies six ethical aspects of the abortion issue discussed in Judaism, Catholicism, and Protestantism. The first ethical aspect concerns the lex talionis passage in Exodus. Second, the concepts of “health” and “life” are considered. The study then examines whether the unborn child can be viewed as an aggressor against his or her mother. Determining whether the unborn child possesses “potential” or “actual” life constitutes the fourth ethical aspect, followed by the closely related categories of “formed” and “unformed” fetuses. The last ethical aspect concerns ensoulment. The study conducts close readings of abortion passages in canonical works by Dreiser, Hemingway, Dos Passos, Faulkner, Brautigan, and Irving. Incorporating biographical criticism and other tools of literary research, the author concludes that canonical works do not address these ethical aspects. Finally, the study addresses the six ethical aspects in other twentieth-century non-canonical works.

48 hours in Hollywood
It's been half a century since Hollywood's Golden Age, and once again, Tinseltown is aiming to recapture its former glamour and magic.
Tattoo parlours, trashy souvenir shops and bleary-eyed lost souls still line Hollywood Boulevard. But with the Oscars now firmly entrenched in the district that is in the midst of a $1 billion (Dh3.67bn) 30-year redevelopment, many locals are hoping its heading back to its former glory days.
Following this week's ceremony we get the inside track on what to do with limited time in the A-list playground.
7pm Kick off your stay in the town with a drink at the kitschy, cool Beauty Bar that stands out on Cahuenga Boulevard, where small new clubs with velvet ropes pop up all the time.
9pm Splash out at the new, chic Asian-fusion cuisine hotspot East Restaurant and Lounge owned by Hollywood nightlife impresario David Judaken on Hollywood Boulevard. Make sure to grab one of the 'confession' booths and order the 'Drunken Tofu.'
11pm Head down to Vine Street to walk the red carpet staircase at the new $350 million W Hotel that is banking on Hollywood's revival as an entertainment hub.
Check out the hotel's hot new club, Drai's Hollywood, on the hotel's rooftop, with an open air bar and pool deck. Head inside to dance or lounge in the banquettes.
9am Head to 101 Coffee Shop on Franklin and indulge in its signature items such as the Cajun catfish and eggs as you get comfy in the 1960s and 1970s style retro brown leather booths.
11am Head down Hollywood Boulevard's "Walk of Fame" and over to the Kodak Theater where the Academy Awards are held.
Walk the 'plastic carpet', which is replaced for the obligatory red one for the Academy Awards and check out the statue of a man called Oscar on the ground floor at the end of the run.
12pm Head a few doors down to Grauman's Chinese Theater for a quick tour. It opened in 1927 with the premiere of Cecil B DeMille's film The King of Kings. Compare your footprints with those of stars including Arnold Schwarzenegger.
2pm Mingle with a bit of old Hollywood and grab some lunch at Musso and Frank's Grill where the likes of Orson Welles and Ernest Hemingway once lingered.
Listen out for Hollywood types who still come here to talk business and make sure you enter through the back like the locals have been doing for years.
3pm Keep walking along the Walk of Fame and opposite the historic Egyptian Theater built in 1922 and duck into the alleyway and discover the rare vinyl LP store 'As the Record Turns'. It's a cozy alternative to the nearby independent music chain Amoeba Music that both attract die hard music fans and collectors.
4pm Keep heading back down the boulevard for a quick shop at the Hollywood and Highland Center where you will find boutiques such as Louis Vuitton and entertainment such as retro bowling alley Lucky Strike Lanes.
6pm Start your night off sitting at the bar at one of Hollywood's oldest gathering spots, Boardners, just off Hollywood Boulevard.
7pm Walk around the corner and grab a drink at Miceli's, billed as the oldest Italian restaurant in Los Angeles complete with singing waiters. It has been family owned and operated by the Miceli family since 1949 and has hosted everyone from former US President Richard Nixon to Julia Roberts.
9pm Switch back to new Hollywood with a visit to The Hungry Cat located down the end of the courtyard alley, off the Sunset + Vine retail complex for fresh fruit cocktails and seafood entrees between $15 and $25 in a modern setting.
11pm If there is nothing playing at the famed outdoor venue The Hollywood Bowl, head next door to The Hungry Cat for a late night visit to the intimate Ivan Kane's Cafe for rock/jazz singer-songwriter sets.
10am Head to The Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel that opened in 1927 and had the likes of Clark Cable and Marilyn Monroe stay before undergoing a major renovation in 2005.
Peek inside the famed Blossom Ballroom, the site of the first Academy Awards in 1929, that reopened last year with the $4m restoration of its original design elements.
12pm Catch a short taxi ride along Hollywood Boulevard to 'Fresh Pressed,' where children, adults and friends can collaborate with designers on hand to create your own T-shirts. Create slogans or scribble artwork to print the designs you like in under 30 minutes for $40.
Wander next door to 'Everything's Jake' where stylish guys can shop for vintage suits and strum guitars and head across the road to a sprinkling of vintage and high end clothing stores. Grab lunch at Umami Burger with their own secret signature ketchup.
2.30pm For a different type of star gazing go to Griffith Park to climb up to the Griffith Observatory that sits on the south-facing slope of Mount Hollywood, offering a view of the Los Angeles basin.
5pm Finish the day while wandering back through the heart of Hollywood with a snack at hot dog joint Skooby's. Order the LA-style 100 per cent Turkey Frank that promises all natural Turkey, no nitrates (except for sea salt) and only 90 calories for that new Hollywood healthy glow. (Reuters)

We don't blame him!
Daniel Radcliffe is making the rounds promoting his upcoming flick Victor Frankenstein, but on Thursday night all he and Conan O'Brien could talk about is Star Wars!
The 26-year-old is a massive fan and really wants to go to a midnight showing of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The only problem with the plan is people would recognize him!
Video: Daniel & Jimmy Fallon Get Wet & Wild Playing Water War!
But Conan has a plan! The late night host told Radcliffe he should disguise himself as Harry Potter. LOLz!
While that may not work, the HP alum was also toying with the idea of dressing as another character…
Ch-ch-check out the HIGHlarious video (below) to find out how to spot Daniel at the movies!

Tanner, our 4 year old son is a car enthusiast. A day doesn’t go by that he’s not driving cars around making engine noises. He was a racer last year for Halloween and was gonna be it again but we needed to jazz it up some. So we, his parents thought why not turn our little motor head racer into his very own engine! We asked him if he’d like us to build him a car engine to wear for Halloween, the glowing grin on his face said it all! So we got started making our boy his very own Small Block Chevy V8 Engine!It was great seeing this costume come to life as we were making it. When we planned to make this we had about 3 days to construct it for a local car show Halloween costume contest. Since we were taking it to bring to a car show, dad being a car guy said,” it needs to be perfect, these car guys will know if it’s not right.” So perfection it got! Walking into the car show you could just hear everyone around commenting on how real it was, all the details and hear look at that kid! I think dad had succeeded! Tanner ended up winning 1st place for the boys by the loudest crowd cheers. He was one excited kid with his trophy! Glad to say that everyone just loved his costume.He was getting asked to take his picture constantly which he loved posing for. It also helped that our son was quite the actor in it, he’d start his engine and race around as if he were driving. By him role playing this way added to everyone’s reactions to seeing it which made them just fall more in love with it. I had also found a local preschool costume contest in the “Halloween Capital of the World” Anoka, Minnesota (about 20 mins from our house), so of course we had to enter. There were a lot of great costumes (32 total), we didn’t think he had a chance. Well I was wrong, he won 1st place again for the boys. He was just beaming running down to get his Pumpkin Plaque. The winners also got asked to be in the Halloween parade! On Halloween day we of course had to take him to a few automotive businesses trick or treating. They all couldn’t believe how much it resembled a real engine. Of course they took pictures and one business called all the employees up front to check it out.Our son Tanner felt like the luckiest kid in the world wearing his Small Block Chevy V8 Engine! I think we as parents succeeded in making this a Halloween we’ll all never forget. The Small Block Chevy V8 Engine costume is now displayed in dad’s garage! The best part of taking the time to make this costume was seeing the joy on our son’s face! We hope you all enjoy it as much as us!
Below are the materials we used for costume, I also added what one could use instead if didn’t have on hand.
glue(can also use tape)hot glue gunscissors (or any cutting blade)spray paint(around 3 different desired colors)permanent marker2 large cardboard boxes(1-engine body,1-making extra parts)2 smaller cardboard boxes(for top valve covers)8 to possibly 16 pieces of 2 inch wood dowels(as spark plugs)8 pieces of PVC sink piping 8-10 inch length or use empty paper towel rolls(as exhaust pipes)real plug wires or 8 pieces of tubing 2 ft long each real distributorcap or jar lids/woodreal thermostat housing unit or small PVC curved pipe/tubecircle piece of wood or jar lids(as crankshaft)black foam pipe insulation
Logo stickers or could print off of internet
safety ear muffs or a hat
Most of the items to make this engine we had on hand. Being a car family we only had to purchase a few items which was nice. The items we purchased were 8 pieces of PVC piping @ Lowe’s ($2.19 each), a bag of black foam pipe insulation @ Lowe’s ($1.18) and an air filter (found one @ Wal-mart for $4.97 but dad had to get nicer Edelbrock filter @ O’Reilly’s that costs around $30.00).
Assembly directions are below, it may sound complicated but really isn’t. Just giving lots of details for those that would like to recreate. It tookaround 2-3 days to construct, working on it here and there.
We started by taking a large cardboard box suitable for his size. Cut off the bottom 4 flaps, cut bottom sides to angle like a true V8 engine. On top, cut off shorter 2 flaps, then cut about 4-5 inches down on each corner. Next bend each side inward to form top sides. With bent sides formed, close the 2 flaps and cut so that the flaps will just touch one another when closed. Then glue/tape all the ends and sides on top of box. Now trace a circle on top just big enough to fit head through and cut. Next, spray paint the box to your desired colors. Add engine detailing with marker when dry. For on top of the folded sides, spray paint the 2 smaller cardboard boxes desired color and glue/tape it on. Then we added Comp Cam stickers that we had, if don’t have could print logos off of internet. The back of engine is the Flywheel made out of cardboard. Trace the size of circle you like, cut out, spray paint desired color and added details with marker to replicate a real Fly Wheel. We glued/taped a round piece of spray painted wood(to act as the crankshaft) to back of box(could use cardboard instead of wood) and the Fly Wheel fits right over it. The front part behind the fan is a timing chain cover, hand drawn from cardboard, cut out, spray it desired color and glued/taped on. The fan is hand drawn from cardboard, cut out, sprayed silver and glued/taped to timing chain cover. We ended up added a silver cover in middle of fan that we took off of son’s toy engine. Below the fan is the harmonic balancer made of a rounded piece of wood, spray painted desired color, glued/taped(one could cut out a cardboard circle instead).The top front piece is a real thermostat housing unit, we screwed it in (one could use PVC pipe glued/taped oninstead).The piece on the back top is a real distributor cap glued/taped on (one could use spray painted jar lids or wood to make their own and add dowels on top to attach tubing on next step). Attached to this are real plug wires (one could use any tubing about 2 feet long each).The wires are attached to dowels that are glued in halfway down the sides to act as the spark plugs. For the exhaust pipes, use PVC pipes that are spray painted. Cut holes just above spark plug dowels, then glue/tape pipes in the holes. Around the neck we attached black foam pipe insulation to protect neck and help support the shoulders when wearing it. For the head wear we had an Edelbrock air cleaner, we taped some of the black foam pipe insulation inside so the air cleaner would fit head better and then velcroed it to safety ear muffs. On the inside we hot glued cupboard handles to the inside front to help hold up the costume. We also thought that this engine needs to make noises besides just from him making car noises. He had a toy engine that has a key you turn and it starts like a real engine, so we took that out of his toy and attached it on the inside front for him to turn. It was perfect! Finally he wore his racing suit from the previous Halloween and his car shoes to give it that extra touch!

Kiss The Son
Therefore, you kings, be wise; be warned, you rulers of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry and you be destroyed in your way, for his wrath can flare up in a moment. Blessed are all who take refuge in him. Psalms 2:10-12
Since they did want him to become their king they with outrage loudly declare we will not serve him. Regardless how much you complain the most high has made his Son the anointed one ruler for all time. Serve him and you will live curse him and you will lie in torment forever.
The creator of heaven and the earth has a day in mind when the eyes of the arrogant man will be humbled and the pride of men brought low. The arrogant and proud will call for the rocks and mountains to cover them for the time has come for God to deal with those who refuse to humble themselves before the almighty God has come.
Do we not know everyone who was born on earth will serve the Lord of hosts? Those who love him and serve his needs will be rewarded and reign with Christ but those who ignore him, those who do not know him, those who have chosen not to serve him will serve the Lord of Hostís as examples of his wrath. They will serve him as prisoners of Hell against their will and smoke of their residence will rise forever.
The question has never been will I serve God but how to serve God. Will I serve God of my free will or will I live as I see fit and hope for the best. Maybe we have never noticed that serving anyone in authority as you see fit never works out in your favor. It seems as if those in authority have a way of putting you in your place. What we may not understand is God means business and will put you in your place permanently.
Will I serve God from a distance or will I embrace the Son. Does serving God entail embracing the son as the person God put into authority over all of mankind? Will I humble myself by bowing before him to kiss his hand? How I serve God is a question that every person is required to answer before the day we meet God face to face.
In other words have I chosen to recognize the Lord of Lords and King of kings as the person God put into authority? We live by hundreds of decisions made by the creator before he gave us life. It may not seem like a real choice but your name, the date of your birth and who came before you were not by your choice either. Those who came before us established the foundation for life we have now. What we may not understand is that Jesus Christ did more to change human history than any other person and through him a new life begins.
In America the choice to live under its laws passed since the birth of our nation. We live under the leadership of the current president made by a majority decision but we can live in reasonable comfort. Yet you live here by choice and agree to live under our nationís laws while you may not totally agree with its leaders. On the other hand because of human nature you would kiss the presidentís dog if you were to profit tremendously the rest of your life.
What the majority of people may not know is that there is a choice to be born into the eternal kingdom of God. The only requirement upon entering the kingdom of God is to recognize Jesus as Lord. However that choice leads to other choices. After we recognize Jesus as Lord we become subordinate to the authority we gave him.
Kissing the son is the proper gesture demonstrating respect in honoring a person of higher rank and an act representing allegiance. At the same time kissing the son is recognizing the person who appointed him to the throne. In lay terms the person who serves God submits to the Son.
Jesus is the person that God the father authorized to reign for a thousand years. When the thousand years are over Jesus will hand his kingdom over to his father. In the meantime will we accept the current structure of authority and submit to the laws; plans and decrees of those who are currently in power?
Just as human beings manufacture goods to serve human needs God created mankind to serve his needs. At the same time it is difficult to understand that human beings were made to serve a higher authority since God gave man the ability to control his destiny. Human beings are the dominant rulers of the earth but immature in ruling our lives.
As a person created of lower rank than the angels, men may not understand the right of God to rule his or her life. However in the overall picture of creation how can we not accept the person who created us to serve him with all our being? Is that not what we expect of our creations? We have been given a choice to serve God of our free will but it is also a choice to recognize that we were specifically created by God to serve him.
We do not have more authority than which has been given from the throne of grace. In the overall picture of life all of humanity is in the same boat and is subject to their creator. The question is will they submit to their creator even if only by kissing the son.
Psalms 2:1-12 is a warning to those who are obstinate and refuse to honor the Son as their Lord and Savior. Godís plan to establish an eternal kingdom using mankind will take place in the near future. How do we respond to Godís plan is up to the individual. Are we going to take part of Godís plan or are we going to go your own way?
God prefers that you would accept Jesus Christ as Lord. Itís within your capability to humble yourself to kiss the Son as much as it is to accept the free gift of life. On the other hand be forewarned that God has a place who accept his plan as well as a place reserved for those who reject his plan. Psalms 2:12 tells us Godís wrath can flare up in a split second and you very well could be destroyed by doing things your own way.

PDP, Fayose are Nigeria’s problems, says APC
Kamarudeen Ogundele, Ado Ekiti
The All Progressives Congress in Ekiti State has described Governor Ayodele Fayose and the Peoples Democratic Party as the nation’s greatest problems.
It said the governor’s lawless public conduct was a threat to democracy and by extension, the nation’s economic development.
It also accused the PDP of preparing the ground for an atmosphere of insecurity that was scaring investors from Nigeria by deliberately neglecting to fight Boko Haram while the fund for weapons to fight the insurgents was shared by the PDP leaders, including the governor, who allegedly got more than N2bn to run his election.
The Ekiti APC Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatunbosun, stated these in a statement on Tuesday while reacting to the PDP and the governor’s outburst that President Muhammadu Buhari was Nigeria’s problem.
The statement said Fayose had proved that he and his party represented a bad advertisement for the practice of democracy.
“During his first term between 2003 and 2006, all international development agencies operating in Ekiti State, including the World Bank and British DFID, relocated from Ekiti when they could no longer cope with the opaque manner Fayose was conducting government’s business in relation to the agencies’ partnership with his administration.”
Olatunbosun added that Fayose “improved on his lawless conduct” shortly before he was sworn in on October 16, 2014 when he allegedly invaded the court to stop the delivery of judgment on his perjury case, attacking the judges with thugs and tearing their coats while court records in the Chief Judge’s office were torn into shreds, after beating his secretary “blue and black”. He said windows and doors of the court were destroyed.
He stated that the incidents resonated around the world, sending a wrong signal that Nigeria was a country where lawlessness thrived, with culprits going scot-free.
“Again, Fayose’s name rang around the world when he masterminded the greatest electoral fraud in history, mobilising the military for treason to menace the opposition, compromising INEC by illegally obtaining its sensitive materials and drawing on nation’s defence vote to manipulate his election in what is Nigeria’s greatest electoral blues known as Ekitigate.”
Olatunbosun noted that those world leaders, including American Secretary of State, John Kerry, recently praised Buhari for his anti-corruption war.
“Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala recently told the world that the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan frittered the heavy foreign reserves built by Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo and Umar Musa Yar’Adua while he (Jonathan) failed to save for the rainy days despite the huge oil receipts within six years but instead resorted to borrowing foreign and local loans to pay salaries while obligations to contractors were ignored, thus piling up the nation’s debts that are disincentive to the in-flow of foreign investments.
“The greatest fear that always rattles the ‘fearless’ Fayose is whenever a looter is uncovered by the Federal Government because he knows what is coming for him after the EFCC traced billions of illegal funds to his frozen accounts.

Nearly 16% of California's coastal marine ecosystems are now protected under the California Marine Life Protected Act. As the largest and most important estuary on the west coast of North America, the Bay was originally intended for inclusion under the Act, marine protection has stalled at the Golden Gate.

Cherry Red Records (label)
06 April 2015 (released)
29 April 2015
Todd Rundgren has earned the right over the last few decades for a little self-indulgence in his music. His 25th solo studio album sees him exploring the world of electronica, and at times the album does feel a little too self-indulgent. The theme appears to be the fate of our planet and the vast expanse of space. The futuristic music is possibly a deliberate juxtaposition against the environmental message.
Songs like This Island Earth describe a planet rebirth as Rundgren discusses aliens "testing us" and our "amusement from crop circles". Now in his seventh decade, the singer/producer is obviously turning cynical, as he describes humans turning "the garden of eden to hell". The song has an uncomfortable feel and angst. Elsewhere, Terra Firma describes Christopher Columbus style adventures while Earth Mother (which features his wife Michele) praises the feminine touch, with reference to Nobel Prize winner Malala Yousafzai, but also contains the dreadful lyric "we got a little bit too much testosterone, need a little more progesterone".
Better is the aptly titled Soothe and the tender Blind, which features a cracking 80s style sax solo from Bobby Strickland. The Pet Shop Boys meets Divine Flesh & Blood is great fun, as is the opening Evrybody.
This is not an easy listen for newcomers, but fans of Rundgren's music will find this an intriguing journey. Global sends two clear messages. One is to save the planet from man's follies. The other is that there is still plenty of life left in Rundgren's creative juices.
