Labour makes it clear: the only way out of spending cuts is through higher taxes
In a Today programme discussion this morning, the truth finally emerged – thanks in no small part to the scrupulously fair chairmanship of John Humphreys. Liam Byrne for the Government and Philip Hammond for the Conservatives were slugging it out over the question of the day: who would cut spending more, Labour or the Tories? Mr Byrne manfully stuck to the official line: demonise the Tories as the party of savage cuts to public services. Mr Hammond insisted that no government in power over the next five years could possibly avoid reductions in spending, and that indeed such reductions were already programmed into the Chancellor's projections.
Mr Hammond got the better of it: sound argument and empirical evidence were on his side. But the real revelation was that while both men talked of "tough choices", they meant quite different things by it: Mr Byrne's point (made at least twice to my recollection) was that real cuts in spending would be avoided by making "tough choices" on tax. In other words, the dividing line in the next general election is clear: while both parties accept that the country is broke and in debt above its head, one of them thinks the answer is to cut back spending while the other believes it to be raising more money to spend through increased taxation. That is an argument that the public can get its teeth into.

Hollywood pays homage to reign of Ghana’s ‘King Peggy’
THE story of “King Peggy”, a British-educated secretary who became the leader of a village in Ghana, is being made into a Hollywood film after the actor Will Smith bought the rights to a book about her experiences.
Queen Latifah, the American rapper and actress, is set to play Peggielene Bartels, who overcame sexism and corruption when she was appointed the first female “king” of the impoverished fishing village of Otuam.
Bartels, 60, who works as a secretary at the Ghanaian embassy in Washington, said she was thrilled by the prospect of a movie about her life and of Latifah being cast for the lead role. “I cannot think of anyone better to play me than Queen Latifah because there is even a little physical

- A primary entrance to the building or facility,
- Toilet and bathing facilities serving the area,
- Drinking fountains serving the area,
- Public telephones serving the area, and
When the adjusted construction cost, as defined, is less than or equal to the current valuation threshold, as defined, the cost of compliance with Section 11B-202.4 shall be limited to 20 percent of the adjusted construction cost of alterations, structural repairs or additions. When the cost of full compliance with Section 11B-202.4 would exceed 20 percent, compliance shall be provided to the greatest extent possible without exceeding 20 percent.
When the adjusted construction cost, as defined, exceeds the current valuation threshold, as defined, and the enforcing agency determines the cost of compliance with Section 11B-202.4 is an unreasonable hardship, as defined, full compliance with Section 11B-202.4 shall not be required. Compliance shall be provided by equivalent facilitation or to the greatest extent possible without creating an unreasonable hardship; but in no case shall the cost of compliance be less than 20 percent of the adjusted construction cost of alterations, structural repairs or additions. The details of the finding of unreasonable hardship shall be recorded and entered into the files of the enforcing agency and shall be subject to Chapter 1, Section 126.96.36.199, Special Conditions for Persons with Disabilities Requiring Appeals Action Ratification.
For the purposes of this exception, the adjusted construction cost of alterations, structural repairs or additions shall not include the cost of alterations to path of travel elements required to comply with 11B-202.4.
In choosing which accessible elements to provide, priority should be given to those elements that will provide the greatest access in the following order:
- An accessible entrance;
- An accessible route to the altered area;
- At least one accessible restroom for each sex or one accessible unisex (single-user or family) restroom;
- Accessible telephones;
- Accessible drinking fountains; and
- When possible, additional accessible elements such as parking, signs, storage and alarms.
If an area has been altered without providing an accessible path of travel to that area, and subsequent alterations of that area or a different area on the same path of travel are undertaken within three years of the original alteration, the total cost of alterations to the areas on that path of travel during the preceding three-year period shall be considered in determining whether the cost of making that path of travel accessible is disproportionate.

A Redcar man was today sentenced to seven and a half years in prison.
Peter Richard Paul Inseal, 43, from Charlotte Street was arrested in October and charged with attempted robbery and possession of an imitation firearm.
He went into the HSBC on Queen Street, Redcar at 4.05pm on October 2 and threatened a cashier with what turned out to be an imitation firearm.
Due to the nature of the incident a large number of police offers were involved, the police helicopter was launched and the dog unit was brought in to help.
Detective Sergeant Lewis Mathews said: “Regardless of the fact that nobody received an injury during the incident this was still a terrifying incident for all the witnesses, one of which is still receiving counselling.
“The Police investigation resulted in the offender being arrested within 24 hours of the attempted robbery and also the recovery of the very realistic firearm he used.
“He has now received a fitting sentence for the crime.”

I had the pleasure of heading to Indianapolis last night to watch former University of Kentucky star DeMarcus Cousins and the Sacramento Kings defeat the Indiana Pacers 110-93.
As he often does, Cousins displayed flashes of All-Star level talent throughout the game as he led the Kings with 18 points, 14 rebounds and 5 assists.
The game felt like a homecoming for "Cuz" as several hundred members of Kentucky's Big Blue Nation were in Conseco Fieldhouse to offer support.
Cousins still bleeds blue, as well. In the pregame locker room, he sent a message of support to his former teammates as they awaited their NCAA Tournament game against top-seeded Ohio State (the Wildcats won the game 63-61).
After the game, Big Cuz gave a prediction.
"Uh, I think it's going to be a close game, but UK...UK is going to come out with a win," he said. "I'm going with Big Blue."
I had an opportunity to talk to DeMarcus about life in the NBA and how he is adjusting to playing an 82-game schedule rather than a much shorter high school or college schedule.
"It's been a big transition for me," he explained. "It hasn't been the best season but I've learned a lot from it and I'm just trying to finish out the season strong."
He admitted that the longer season is tough
"It's tough on your body," he said. "You just try to get out there and get your body warmed up but it's a tough process."
Cousins also acknowledged that his season in Lexington was something he misses greatly.
"It was probably the best experience I've ever experienced," he told me. "I enjoyed it a lot. I really miss it. I wish I could continue it but I had to move on."
Cousins had to move on but his time in Big Blue Nation is something he will never forget. The feelings are mutual. As a rookie, Cousins is averaging 14.2 points and 8.7 rebounds per game. In March, playing primarily in the power forward position, DeMarcus is putting in 16.5 points and 10.6 rebounds.

There’s a fancy new iced tea bar in Coral Gables, and I’m obsessed. Damien Ceulemans along with two other partners opened this luxurious tea bar that features organic tea and menu full of salads, sandwiches and French pastries. Ticety’s minimal chic Parisian decor immediately captured my attention, it’s a great place to have a business meeting or catching up with an old friend. At Ticety, knowledgeable Tea specialists serves the delicious teas in wine glasses, in this case fancy tea glasses. During the Miami social media/influencer luncheon, we all had a chance to enjoy four different types of teas and selected items from the menu. If you ever stop by and you should, try the their small bite truffle croque monsieur – it was delish!
Miami Bloggers and influencers were treated to more than tasty teas and bites. Shop Coral Gables and amazing team from Refine PR took us around Coral Gables to visit Cattiva Boutique and Janette&Co. Check out the pictures below:

Syria’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations Bashar al-Ja’afari has stressed that any US- or Turkish-backed military offensive against the militant-held northern city of Raqqah must be coordinated with the Syrian government otherwise it would be illegitimate.
Countries backing militant groups in Syria, such as Britain, France, Turkey and Qatar, are sponsors of terrorism, and the escalated fighting between government forces and Takfiri terrorists on the outskirts of Damascus is designed to disrupt the UN-sponsored Syria peace talks in the Swiss city of Geneva and those in the Kazakh city of Astana, Ja’afari told reporters in Geneva on Friday.
“All the terrorist attacks, as I said, are pushing everybody towards a total failure and fiasco in the political and diplomatic process,” he pointed out.
The Syrian chief negotiator emphasized that his delegation would never walk away from the ongoing peace talks in Geneva.
Ja’afari questioned the airstrikes of the US-led coalition purportedly fighting Daesh terror group, saying only Syrian troops are fighting terrorists with the help of Russia and Iran.
The fifth round of Syria talks kicked off in Geneva on Thursday. The deputy UN special envoy for Syria, Ramzy Ezzeldin Ramzy, separately met representatives from the Damascus government and the main opposition delegation, the High Negotiations Committee.
Ramzy said he had held preliminary talks with each side and hoped to begin “substantive discussions” on Friday.
UN Special Envoy for Syria joined Geneva peace talks on Friday.
De Mistura is trying to mediate a political agreement between Syria’s warring sides. The two sides have not had face-to-face meetings in four previous rounds under his auspices since early 2016. He has presided over all those rounds.

A Maze in Corn now sells Sweet Corn! Perfectly planted and picked by our 2 boys.
Our boys have been a part of the Corn Maze team since they were born! They have grown up with our staff as their older siblings, the petting zoo for their pets, and the Snack Shack for dinner!
Now, they are old enough to get a piece of the pie...they call themselves “The Business Brother’s”.
One of the few dry evenings last spring, they planted sweet corn in their pyjamas. They hoed and watered it throughout the growing season. And, they pick it fresh every morning for you to enjoy!

The Bondi Bluewater Challenge harbours one of the suburb's best kept secrets, but one that ocean swimmers have been privy to for years: the best time to swim is towards the end of summer.
The water is warm, the crowds have gone back to work, and preparations for the Bondi Bluewater Challenge are well underway.
It offers two swims (1km and 2.1km) and a 4km soft sand run - that's four laps of the famous Bondi beach.
The Bondi Bluewater Challenge falls on the last weekend of summer (officially), so the club is turning the event into an end of summer party!
Chill out after the event with friends at the newly-refurbished Blue Room - upstairs at the surf club - with a drink and something to eat overlooking the course you've just swum or run... the perfect way to end the day.
Once Christmas, the New Year, and January pass, beaches around Sydney begin to quieten down.
But to those in the know, February and on is prime time for ocean swimming.
Ocean temperatures are at their warmest around February and March, and with the crowds gone, it should offer great conditions for ocean swimming.
The Bondi Bluewater Challenge is the perfect chance to take advantage of that.
If you've been hesitant to take on an ocean swim for this reason, fear no hyperthermia; ocean swimming at this time of year is perfect.
Both of the swims in the Bondi Bluewater Challenge start mid-beach, offering a different kind of journey around Bondi (than the North Bondi swims).
The main 2.1km swim follows a champagne glass-shaped course.
It runs out from in front of the Bondi Surf Club, out towards McKenzies Point, across towards Ben Buckler at the northern end of Bondi, and then back in towards the Bondi Surf Club near the centre of the beach.
The 1km course also starts mid-beach, but instead offers a straight swim out past the break, around two turning buoys and back in to shore.
Both these swims offer a different view of Bondi Beach, and you are unlike to face conditions like these in other swims.
The 4-km beach soft sand run, new in 2017, is for the 'land crabs' (that's what clubbies call the beach sprinters who don't really like swimming) and consists of four laps of the golden sands of the iconic Bondi Beach.
The 1km course starts mid-beach, straight out past the break, inside the chute, around two turning buoys, and back to shore inside the chute again.
The main 2.1km swim follows a champagne glass-shaped course that runs out from in front of the Bondi Surf Club, out towards McKenzies Point, across towards Ben Buckler at the northern end of Bondi, and then back in towards the Bondi Surf Club near the centre of the beach.
The 4-km beach run is your classic soft sand run, and there's really only one way to do it on Bondi Beach, and that's four laps north to south, south to north like the daily beach joggers do (get down in the mornings to see the regulars slugging it out).
After all that talk of wine glasses, it'd be rude not to have one to celebrate after your swim.
You're spoilt for choice within striking distance of the beach. You can stay on the beach and have a glass upstairs at the surf club's Blue Room (recently renovated with the best views in town), the very hip Bucket List or venture north to the North Bondi RSL, behind to Ravesis (across the street on the corner of Hall & Campbell) or south to the Icebergs club.
All these places also serve coffee and food, so either way you'll be covered.
After brunch, explore the inner streets of Bondi off Hall street for fantastic shopping, hang out and people watch at Icebergs pool, or for the very energetic, take a walk along the coastal walk towards Bronte.
Hopefully by this time in the season the parking will be better... but just the thought of a sunny day will fill up every last spot before sunrise.
There is beach parking along Elizabeth Drive and behind the Pavillon, 2-hours parking within a couple of blocks of the beach, and free parking lightyears from the beach (but the walk to the beach will be a good warm up). Try Military Road up past the golf course in North Bondi.
The buses to Bondi are the 308, 381, 333. The 389 also comes to Bondi, but you'll need to get off on Hall Street or at the North Bondi terminal and walk.
If the weather is looking great, get there early as it'll be heaving.

Build Soil Fertility With Green Manures
Develop your “green thumb” and use plants to heal the soil
Master the organic fertility technique of planting green manure crops to improve soil nutrition, crowd out weeds, and heal the soil of diseases.
$14.00 incl. GST
You’ve probably heard of “green manure”, but do you really know what it is? Do you know the difference between a green manure, a cover crop and a living mulch? This course will demystify this and so much more!
Green manures have long been used to improve soil structure and water-holding capacity, build the natural fertility system and quickly add vital organic matter to the soil. In fact, they are one of the most effective tools for turning problem soil (for example soils that are too sandy, contaminated or have too much clay) into a fertile growing medium.
In this module you’ll learn how to choose the right mix of plants, how to prepare the soil, and when to plant. It includes plant lists and suggestions for sourcing high quality organic seed.
What’s included in this module:
- Unit 1: Grow an autumn green manure crop to improve your soil (article)
- Unit 2a: Plant a spring green manure crop (article)
- Unit 2b: Choose the perfect understorey plants for spring (activity)

SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, Sep 19 (EUROPA PRESS) –
The president of the Canary Islands, Ángel Víctor Torres, has once again conveyed a message of “calm and caution” to the palm tree society in the face of the increase in seismic activity that has been registered on the island of La Palma for a week now.
This has been transmitted on his official Twitter account minutes after the National Geographic Institute (IGN) has registered an earthquake measuring 3.8 on the Richter scale (4.2 according to Involcan data), the highest magnitude recorded so far.
Ángel Víctor Torres has reported that this Sunday there has been a new session of the Pevolca Steering Committee due to the seismic movements on La Palma and has spoken with the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez; the president of the Cabildo de La Palma, Mariano Hernández Zapata, and various ministers.
Torres has indicated that all administrations are coordinated and the protocols are in place to act in the event of a hypothetical volcanic eruption on the island and to guarantee the safety of the entire palm tree population.

Throw the bums out.
That should be the mission of the people of Ferguson, Missouri, as they examine and mourn the police shooting of Michael Brown.
The noxious tear gas, righteous protests and heartbreaking loss of Michael will inevitably fade into history. There will be investigations, charges, trials to come as the St. Louis suburb seeks justice.
There is no shortage of anguished and heartfelt suggestions to remedy what happened in Ferguson. The U.S. Justice Department is contemplating a civil rights lawsuit, potentially against the Ferguson police department. The FBI is investigating. Others are calling for reforms in police hiring and training, ending racial profiling and stop-and-frisk, and abolishing police use of military style weapons and vehicles.
Still others, like Brown’s grandfather, Lesley McSpadden, demanded on MSNBC that President Barack Obama meet with him and make something happen.
Those are fine ideas but focused on outsiders, on trying to force the existing power structure to change.
The African-American community of Ferguson must take charge of its own destiny. All they have to do is vote.
Right now, Ferguson is a black city in the iron grip of white power.
Like many other American urban enclaves, white flight has taken a harsh toll. “This exodus has left a ring of mostly middle-class suburbs around an urban core plagued by entrenched poverty,” according to Jeff Smith, an assistant professor of urban policy at the New School in New York City, and a former Missouri state senator.
Later, blacks fled the inner city for suburbs like Ferguson, Smith wrote in a recent op-ed for the New York Times. Between 1990 and 2010, the black population of Ferguson shot up from 25 percent to 67 percent.
Yet the town “has a virtually all-white power structure,” Smith reports. “A white mayor; a school board with six white members and one Hispanic, which recently suspended a highly regarded young black superintendent who then resigned; a City Council with just one black member; and a 6 percent black police force.”
In a town that is 67 percent black.
That power structure, from the cop shop to City Hall, does not represent or fully comprehend the people it is sworn to serve.
If you are not in power, you don’t make policy. You can’t demand accountability. Real change is forged by real power.
The black people of Ferguson must organize, get their people registered and schooled in electoral politics. The churches and community voices must unite behind a focused voter registration and education effort.
They can own their government. Elect a mayor, city council members. Insist they hire police officers who can embrace young black men as their own rather than with fear.
Since the horrific shooting on Aug. 9, a lot of folks have come to Ferguson. They came to march, to demand answers and change. Some of those outsiders are well-meaning. Some are opportunists.
None of them can vote in Ferguson. The people of Ferguson can.
Michael Brown is to be buried Monday. The vote can be a potent memorial.

Cantonese-speaking activists called the move an attack on their language, according to Time. Cantonese is the predominant language spoken in Hong Kong, Guangdong province, the former Portuguese colony of Macao and in Chinatowns around the world.
“Every Chinese should know how to speak Mandarin,” Kevin Kong, a 29-year-old Guangzhou native told Time. “But at the same time, everyone has the right to speak their native language. There shouldn’t be any conflict between the two languages. Just because you speak Mandarin doesn’t mean you should give up your mother language.”
Officials announced the proposal for increased Mandarin broadcasts on July 5. They said the official reason for the proposal was to make Guangzhou more accessible to Chinese visitors for the upcoming Asian Games in November, according to Radio Free Asia.
And they said the proposal would not “marginalize” Cantonese.
Officials responded to the protests by saying they were the work of “a small number of people with insufficient rationality and one or two with ulterior motives and that individual troublemakers would be punished,” according to the RFA report.
Citizen’s Radio’s Tsang Kin-sing reacted angrily to the recent proposals at the Aug. 1 protest.
“Those in power want us to speak their dialect and dance to the beat of their drum, as a way of keeping control,” Tsang told RFA. “But there are dozens of dialects in China; are they going to enact laws to ban them all?”
It was reported one individual was arrested and held for five days after the July 25 protest. Witnesses claim there was a large police presence at the events.
By some estimates, there may be up to 80 million Cantonese speakers. China has well over fifty different dialects spread throughout the country.
Human rights groups say the Chinese government has instituted an insidious form of cultural assimilation for decades. It includes the spreading of Mandarin throughout the country and outside its immediate borders.
The government has also encouraged the migration of Han Chinese into predominantly non-Han areas such as the western province of Xinjiang, which has a large population of Turkish-descended ethnic Uyghurs.
Riots broke out in July 2009 between Han Chinese and Uyghur, killing hundreds. Media reported a very heavy-handed response by police against ethnic Uyghurs.
Advocacy groups have also blasted the Chinese government’s dismal rights record in Tibet, where Han Chinese have been encouraged to immigrate.

Microsoft has pushed back its plans to support a new type of PC firmware, called UEFI, or United Extensible Firmware Interface, which has begun working its way into the PC market.
Microsoft said in a presentation during last week’s Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco that the software giant would not roll out UEFI support—adopting the new firmware, which was created for Itanium servers but then repositioned to take over for PC BIOS or basic input output system software—in its Longhorn server, due in 2007.
However, the company will not offer support for UEFI in the first version of Windows Vista, its new PC OS slated for launch in November, as it had planned originally.
UEFI support will be added to “subsequent 64-bit client releases,” instead, according to an IDF presentation by Andrew Ritz, development manager at the company, in Redmond, Wash.
The new stance reverses a potion that both Vista and Longhorn Server would support both EFI and BIOS.

Together with Our Shareholders and Investors
The DENSO Group Sustainability Policy describes the responsibility DENSO has to its shareholders and investors to increase corporate value through stable, long-term growth and to improve the transparency of management through the timely and appropriate disclosure of business and financial information as well as through dialogues. Based on this policy, the DENSO Group is disseminating corporate information, such as management strategy and financial information, with an emphasis on timeliness, fairness, accuracy, and sustainability.
In addition, the Group is undertaking investor relations (IR) activities to realize smooth, interactive communication through general shareholders’ meetings and via its corporate website.
The opinions of shareholders and other investors that the Group obtains through this kind of communication are conveyed regularly at the Board of Directors’ meetings and leveraged in the Group’s management decision-making.
Information Disclosure and IR Activities
In order to ensure fairness and transparency in the disclosure of IR information, DENSO strives not only to observe all legal disclosure standards but also to publish information domestically and overseas without time lags by creating Japanese and English versions of reports at the same time.
DENSO also releases financial information quarterly via its website and holds financial results and technical briefings, as well as plant tours, for institutional investors and financial analysts with the purpose of promoting investment opportunities. DENSO is working to further enhance information disclosure by providing a streaming video of the general meeting of shareholders held each June on its website and inviting shareholders to a plant tour after the meeting, among other activities. In addition, we post our results briefings and the contents of the ordinary general meetings of shareholders (held every June) on our corporate website and disclose an outline of the Q&A sessions held at these briefings to ensure that an even greater number of people can view this information. In these ways, we are striving to enhance our information disclosure.

Publication of business reports, Company information sessions, distribution of IR news emails, provision of details regarding financial results briefings and disclosure of outlines of Q&A sessions at these briefings
Policy on Shareholders’ Returns and Status of Shares
In addition to carrying out capital investment, R&D, and M&A to achieve sustainable business growth and enhance its corporate value, DENSO issues a stable, long-term dividend while giving consideration to consolidated business performance, payout ratio, and dividend amount. The Company will also repurchase treasury stock after assessing its financial position and the market environment.
Guided by this policy, in fiscal 2021, DENSO paid annual cash dividends per share of ¥140, the same amount as was paid in the previous fiscal year, based on business performance and the operating environment to date. Going forward, the Company will strive to improve its corporate value and return an even greater amount of profits to its shareholders.
Breakdown of shareholders (As of Mar. 31, 2021)
Evaluation by Outside Institutions
DENSO has received high praise for its ESG (environmental, social, and governance) initiatives to date and has been selected as a component stock on socially responsible investment indices and funds both in Japan and overseas.
While taking into consideration the needs and expectations of our shareholders and other investors as well as society at large, we will continue to raise the level of our activities geared toward enhancing information disclosure with a focus on the disclosure of business and financial information and the creation of opportunities for dialogue.

Reps move to extend retirement age of Legislative Staff
• move to exclude NASS from Federal Public Service • Political Science Expert warns against creation of parallel conditions of service, litigation
The House of Representatives on Thursday passed through Second Reading a Bill which seeks to increase the retirement age for Staff of Legislative Houses across Nigeria and for related matters from 35 to 40 years and 60 to 65 years of age.
The ‘Harmonised Retirement Age for Staff of Legislative Houses in Nigeria Bill, 2021, sponsored by Majority Chief Whip, Hon. Mohammed Monguno was passed and referred to the Committee of the Whole for consideration, without a public hearing.
While venting his personal opinion on the development, a Professor of Political Science and International Relations, Professor Abubakar Suleiman, who expressed reservation on the subject matter, however, called for restraints that may create a parallel condition of service in the public service of the federation.
Professor Suleiman who doubles as a former Minister of National Planning, said: “This is one area I don’t want to dabble into because it amounts to prejudice when I want to talk on an issue that is before our lawmakers so to speak.
“But I think what government is trying to do, especially the leadership of National Assembly is not to create a parallel bureaucracy in the country.
“This country is one country under one President, under one Executive, under one Legislature, by the time you have the divergent condition of service, especially when it comes to mainstream bureaucracy, you may likely create friction whereby you have Head of Service of the country and someone will claim to be Head of Service in National Assembly again, and before we know it, it becomes a matter of litigation here and there and we will not know where to start.
“But I think the privilege of the specialized scheme of service is only given to those in academia and perhaps the Judiciary because of their specialized nature. Because those in academia, are knowledge-based people; knowledge cannot be bequeathed or substituted at any given time.
“When they are gone, they are gone, a Professor cannot replace his child. As a Professor’s child, you have to claim it; you have to get to that stage. And the same thing applies to the Judiciary.
“For us to extend this to the bureaucracy in the National Assembly, I think it’s a thing we need to look into very well. I don’t really see many spectacular services rendered at that level that those in the mainstream civil service cannot render.
“So I want us to be very careful, just like I said, I wouldn’t want to make a submission, this is just Suleiman’s opinion, I’m not speaking for National Assembly, I’m not speaking for NILDS; I’m just speaking as Suleiman, a Nigerian about my knowledge about the public service. I believe the status quo should be maintained for now,” he urged.
Clause 1 of the bill provides that the new retirement age “shall apply throughout the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” and by extension to the legislative staff at both the National Assembly and 36 State Houses of Assembly.
Clause 2 of the bill also provides that: “Staff of Legislative Houses in Nigeria shall compulsorily retire on the attainment of 65 years of age or 40 years of pensionable service, whichever is earlier.”
Clause 3 however stipulates that: “Any law or the Public Service Rules requiring a person to retire from the Public Service at 60 years of age or after 35 years of service shall not apply to Staff of Legislative Houses in Nigeria,” as provided for in the 1999 Constitution (as amended).
According to the Explanatory Memorandum of the bill, the proposed legislation seeks to make provisions for the compulsory retirement age and years of service of Staff of Legislative Houses in Nigeria.
Recall that Chairman of National Assembly Service Commission (NASC), Engr. Ahmed Amshi had in the wake of the controversy trailing the purported plan by the erstwhile Clerk for the National Assembly (CNA), Sani Omolori to unilaterally enforce a new condition of Service, directed that status quo on the 35 years and 60 years of age whichever comes first should be maintained.
According to the memo dated July 15, 2020, titled: ‘The National Assembly Service Commission approves the retirement age for the staff of the National Assembly Service as 35 years of service and 60 years of age whichever comes first.”
In pursuant to its mandate as provided in the National Assembly Service Act, 2014 (as amended), the National Assembly Service Commission at its 497th meeting held on Wednesday, July 15, 2020, approved the retirement age of the staff of the National Assembly Service as 35 years of service or 60 years of age whichever comes first.

CONCORD, N.H. -- Encouraged by Gov. Mario M. Cuomo's unwillingness to ask them to stop, organizers of the draft-Cuomo drive here released television and radio ads yesterday urging New Hampshire voters to write in his name in next Tuesday's Democratic presidential primary.
In the television ad, the New York governor is seen and heard on the left side of a split screen speaking about the recession, as his name is slowly printed, white on black for a blackboard effect, on the right side. The radio ad features a longer segment of the same remarks.
"We are in a recession that is going to be worse than anything you've seen in 50 years," Mr. Cuomo says in the clip from an earlier interview. "We are absolutely going down the wrong road." Obviously speaking of President Bush, Mr. Cuomo goes on:
"He's had a free enterprise system that made 1 percent very rich. You have to put people like my family to work in the free enterprise system. You have to have free enterprise for the many. What do you want to call that? Conservative? Liberal? I call it American common sense."
Mr. Cuomo's remarks, not originally intended for a television commercial, nevertheless are a counter to the view of many more conservative Democrats that he is too liberal
to win a national election when liberal-bashing has become a standard Republican campaign tool.
Mr. Cuomo, in an interview with the Boston Globe published yesterday, pointedly declined to pull the rug out from under the draft effort. He said he was "undeniably flattered" by the drive. "How can I not approve of people saying we think you're so good you should be president?" he asked.
As for urging New Hampshire Democrats to vote for one of the five declared candidates in the field, he said he would "urge them to vote and follow their consciences and be what New Hampshire has always been."
The remarks buoyed the band of draft-Cuomo volunteers, now numbering as many as 300, according to Don Rose, a veteran Chicago political consultant who is the Cuomo drive's national political director.
The small headquarters here is running phone banks and has mailed 72,000 pieces of instructional literature to registered Democrats on how to write in Mr. Cuomo's name.
The Cuomo effort is the second write-in campaign going on here. The other is being waged by consumer advocate Ralph Nader, who is asking voters in both parties to write in his name to express support for a drive to place a "None of the Above" line on future ballots.
The Cuomo ads are being aired on the heels of a tracking poll for the Boston Globe and WBZ-TV of Boston in which 6 percent of New Hampshire voters, asked to choose from a list of Democratic candidates not including Mr. Cuomo, volunteered him as their preference.

Also go back and photograph Mrs T's nail bar, she wont let me photograph her, but volunteers one of her customers.I have realised that I am not going to achieve any beautiful shop window at night photos, as most shops seem to be shuttered at night, but still it will be interesting to see what the town has to offer. I will take some shots of the High Street at night anyway.
Going along to start the drawings of each building on the High Street, which should be interesting. I have been told by the Man from the Babywear shop that all there is on the high street is pound shops, mobile phone shops and empty shops, so it will be really interesting to measure how true that is.
I am drawing the entire left hand side of the Pedestrianised area of the High Street (The Queens Square side) and I will also be annotating the entire right hand side. This will then be stitched together and will become the Shop Window Audit. Before coming to West Bromwich I had planned to do this photographically, and have even purchased a wide angle lens especially for the purpose. Now that I am here, I see that this just is not going to be possible, due to the physical layout of the High Street, with its strange rhythms, and market stall building buffered right up to Shops, it means physically you cannot get a good view of the shops, as there are too many interruptions. I think this layout is partly to blame for the decline which is being reported by people I speak to, there is not a leisurely feel to the high street, it is not a place which you wish to hang around in.
West Bromwich High Street By Night.
At around 11pm (we had to wait till then, as it’s summer) myself and Glen headed out to carry out the exploration into the High Street at night. I had persuaded Glen to come to West Bromwich to meet me, as I didn’t fancy hanging around the streets on my own, with my camera – I prefer to be able to worry about the images, rather than my safety.
I set up the tripod, and took some shots of the buildings. The High Street was deserted apart from one guy wearing a hoody, done up so tight that I wondered how he was able to see. He passed me around 5 times, and I did feel a little uncomfortable. The images I was taking show a Town which is empty, there are no focal points, nothing to look at, and nothing to do. It had an eerie feeling like a stage set.
Suddenly some crashing sounds, and an alarm and the guy in the hoody ran past carrying a wooden box.
I carried on taking photographs, and the police came past. A Chemist had been broken into, and that made sense of all the shutters and CCTV cameras.
Day Four: Aware that I am going home tomorrow I am trying to think about tying things up.
I want to capture as much as possible of the market and the high street so I can work on the material later.
I decided to go to the Market and capture a sound piece, - it goes from one end of the food hall to the other.
Then I collate a couple of the interviews with the traders to show them. I am making flyers which advertise their stalls, showing photos of them. This is in response to the rather odd images of ‘Shops from Elsewhere’ which adorn empty businesses in the High Street – it doesn’t seem to make sense really, why not use the space to advertise the existing businesses? I finished the drawings of the left hand side of the High Street.
Tonight we have decided to try an idea of going in Independent Pubs which look scarey from the outside, and which you would never dream of going into…yikes. We will take some of the BCCA matchbooks with us, to spread the word about the project.
Independent Pub Crawl:
The first pub on the list was ‘The Fox and Dogs.’ It is actually a really loveloy friendly pub, with some great reggae music playing, and a good atmosphere along with a nice pint of Red Stripe. Only stayed for one, but it was good.
Next stop was ‘The Prince of Wales’ From the outside I was expecting a very English type pub, with pork scratching and men with bulldog tattoos, but this was not the reality.
When we went inside it was actually a Bhangra style pub, with a fantastic Bhangra band performing on the little stage at the end of the room. The Landlord explained that they were rehearsing for a wedding at the weekend. The beer was amazingly cheap, and the entertainment certainly helped. The Landlord explained that he was also in the Bhangra band, and that his band had performed for Prince Charles. He even got out a photo to show us of the band meeting the future King. He was really proud of that.
Last on the list was the Sports Pub, which was a strange mixture – showing sports on a big screen, and offering Indian Bar Food. We decided to have something to eat here, and again were amazed at the prices of a pint and something to munch on. This pub had more of a commercial look than the previous two, but was certainly very popular with the locals.
I was surprised by my visit to the local ale houses – and really thought to myself that I must not judge a book by its cover – from the outside these three were places I would not have entered, but I found three pubs I would happily visit again.
Popped in at the stall to say goodbye and thanks to Monika, and just see if I could persuade the man from the frame and perfume stall to have an interview – I had been trying to catch him all week. Finally he was there, but said he didn’t really want to have his photo taken or do an interview, and actually I have interviewed 6 people now, so I think that is probably enough.
After that I went along to notate every shop building on the right hand side of the pedestrianised High Street (The Kings Square Side).
This should be useful when we look at the overview and see what exactly is on the High Street, and if the perception is correct, that all there is (and this is what I have been told) are pound shops, Banks, Phone Shops, Charity Shops and Empty Shops. I intend to colour code and see what is really there.
After this was done I packed up my stuff and left West Bromwich.

While the park itself is not much more than a big gravel/sand parking lot with full hookups, it’s the view that is the ‘it’ factor.
I have a real difficult time here moving out of one of these lounge chairs. While the sites overlooking the gulf are close, there’s still all the room you need. All of the folks on the front sites sit their chairs in front of the rig around happy hour and enjoy the view together.
It’s about that same time that the horseshoe crabs come up on the beach to mate. Definitely something you don’t see every day!
Ditka found it necessary to be on constant watch at the main gate of our castle since there was no end to the kinds of interesting new creatures happening by.
Once we were settled in to Ho-Hum, we had no interest in leaving, so I threw a couple of batches of wash in at their laundry room and we lounged outside reading through some of the brochures we had of things to see in the area, trying to get up motivation to be anywhere else but right here.
On Tuesday morning, we tore ourselves away from the shore long for a drive in to the small town of Carrabelle. Our major objective was a grocery stop at the local IGA but we also knew there would be plenty of meandering to explore those roads we hadn’t travelled yet.
The Crooked River Lighthouse saw many a mariner home in its 100 years of use between 1895 and 1995.
Carabelle also posts the World’s Smallest Police Station as seen in Ripley’s Believe It or Not. In the 1960’s, without a true building to work out of, this booth was used by the local sheriff, Curly Messer, for a place out of the elements to conduct phone calls.
And, of course, we love to find small town restaurants to try. Again, by following the locals, this time to a place called ‘Two Al’s at the Beach’, we were in for a treat.
Al’s is not a place that looks enticing from the outside, EXCEPT that it was lunchtime and there wasn’t a single place to park anywhere near the place.
The little piece of ‘sculpture’ shown at right notes this as ‘Two Al’s International Headquarters’. Ken and I had grouper sandwiches which put normal fish sandwiches to shame and a Paul Newman award-winning seafood gumbo recipe that deserved its accolades. The other really neat part of the experience was that, because the place was so packed, we chose to share a table with a local gentleman dining on his own. It turns out that this man was a retired contractor who had moved to Carrabelle several years ago when building some beach homes. He’d then had a stroke and he and his wife decided to make this their permanent home. He can no longer drive as a result of the stroke but said the ‘city fathers’ look the other way to allow him to drive around town in his golf cart. This gentleman was obviously well-educated, a Florida State grad, but with short-term memory loss due to the stroke. It was a bit like watching ‘50 First Dates’ as we talked to him but we truly enjoyed it. This will go down as one of the truly memorable episodes in our adventure.
There are many public access points to the beach along the highway in and out of Carrabelle. We stopped at one of these to walk off a bit of the lunch.
Once again, we seemed to have miles of beach almost totally to ourselves. Ken has decided that this area is his new favorite place for beaches with the soft white sand. Because of the number of islands off the coast, you don’t seem to take such a direct hit from the surf and wind. I guess we are glad that this coast is called ‘forgotten’ since it makes it all the more attractive to us.
And, speaking of forgotten, since we were doing a grocery run and planned to stop for lunch, this was not a trip where the furkids got to travel along. That means we confine them to the back bedroom where we close the windows and blinds and turn on the back A/C so they have minimal distractions to set them to barking.
I’ll leave you with a picture of what we see when we come back to the dogs after we’ve left them forlorn and forgotten for the day!
Ho-Hum, Sox, we’ll just take you back out for another walk on the beach, and all will be right with the world.

CANELO ALVAREZ is said to have agreed to a new two-war deal with DAZN.
And one of them will be a beautiful trilogy match against Gennady ‘GGG’ Golovkin.
Four-division champion fights for the WBA light heavyweight belt Dmitry Bivol on May 7.
And Canelo is then ready to finish the chapter above his story with Golovkin by facing the trump card for the third time on September 17.
The pair had their first match in 2017 before Canelo won their second a year later.
And it is thought they could collide at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
While Canelo takes on Bivol, Golovkin is determined to face Ryota Murata in a middleweight unification fight.
If both men come through unscathed, they’ll play their trio in a super-middleweight title fight.
It is thought Canelo’s new deal could cost him up to $100 million from two wars.
Matches will be fueled by Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing, with Canelo already receiving offers from top boxing champions Al Haymon and Showtime.
They want Canelo against undefeated WBC middleweight champion Jermall Charlo, who could rake in up to $50 million depending on the pay-per-view metrics.
And Canelo also discussed the September game against former WBC super middleweight champion David Benavidez.
The Mexican returned to DAZN after attending PBC and Showtime for his final match, a win over IBF middleweight champion Caleb Plant.
That alone raked in 800,000 purchases on PPV.
And DAZN is also expected to compete in a PPV format for Canelo’s two upcoming matches.
