Honey is one of our oldest and most treasured sweeteners (even if it does take a little nerve to gather), so we're never surprised when we hear about its benefits as a food source. The latest: Honey can fight "bad" cholesterol.
British researchers have discovered that honey slows the oxidation of "bad" IDL cholesterol, which is responsible for causing arteriosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries. And the darker the honey, the better.
A second study by Nicki Engereth, one of the investigators and a professor at the University of Illinois College of Agriculture, Consumer and Environmental Studies, has shown that the antioxidants in honey rival those in many fruits and vegetables. This is good news for runners, as antioxidants help fight the free radicals that can cause damage to muscle tissue.
More on Honey
The darkest honeys, hence those with the most antioxidants, include buckwheat and tupelo honey. Honey was the original "energy gel" and can be a quicker-picker-upper. But be cautious at first, as honey causes gastric upset in some cases. You can get a double dose of antioxidants by adding honey to your favorite tea, or spread it on toast or whole-grain pancakes.
Another study reported that you can also boost your post-workout recovery by combining honey with a protein supplement. Source: Beth Moxy; September 2002 Runner's World Magazine.

AMD's 45nm quad-core processors may not yet be ready to buy, but the chip maker said this week it has working versions in the lab running on test machines. It re-iterated its plan to ship the CPUs in the second half of the year. The desktop version of the part is codenamed 'Deneb', a Socket AM3 part that'll ship as a Phenom chip …
What about 65nm?
This is all very well but what is AMD actually shipping: not 4-core 65nm Barcelona yet for servers, only 2-core, 90nm Rev F Opteron...
AMD missed the boat on 65 nm. Intel is selling 45 nm XEONS (53xx) cheaper than 65 nm XEONS (51xx). Other CPU vendors are also moving into sub-65 nm production. If AMD concentrates on 65 nm then it will only put itself further behind. AMD is trying to jump over 65 nm and get back into the game.

V. Bhargava, J.
1. By this application under Section 11 of the U.P. Sales Tax Act, 1948, the applicant prays that this Court should direct the revising authority under the U.P. Sales Tax Act to state a case and refer it to the High Court. The application relates to sales tax assessment proceedings relating to the year 194849. Under Section 11, as it stood at that time, after the revising authority had dismissed the revision, the applicant could require the revising authority to refer any question of law arising out of the revisional order to the High Court within 60 days from the passing of that order. In the present case, it is admitted by the applicant himself that no application was filed by the applicant within 60 days requiring the revising authority to refer any question of law to the High Court. The application, that was made, was presented more than 60 days after the revisional order of the revising authority. The revising authority, in dealing with the application, held that the application was time barred and not entertain able and had to be dismissed. The authority further pro0ceeded to consider the merits of the application and held that there was no ground for making a reference to this Court. After expressing these opinions, the revising authority dismissed the application. Thereupon, within the further period permissible for moving this Court, the applicant presented this application under Sub-section (3) of Section 11 of the U.P. Sales Tax Act as it then stood. Under Sub-section (3) of Section 11of the U.P. Sales Tax Act, the High Court could require the revising authority to state a case if the High Court was not satisfied that are fusal to state the case, in the opinion of the Court, by the revising authority under Section 11(2) of the U.P. Sales Tax Act was justified. It is to be noticed that the High Court's power to call for a reference and a statement of the case is limited to those cases where the revising authority refuses to state the case under Section 11(2) of the U.P. Sales Tax Act. In the present case, the reason given in the second part of the order of the revising authority under Sub-section (1) of Section 11 of the Act, no doubt, deals with the merits of the question whether the revising authority should or should not refuse to state a case but the first part of that order shows that the revising authority held that the application itself was incompetent' as being time barred. The result of the view that the application was time barred was that before the revising authority there was no competent application requiring that authority to state a case and refer it to the High Court. There being no competent application presented within time, the revising authority was not at all competent to consider the question whether it should accept or refuse the prayer made in the application. When the revising authority had no competence even to consider that, prayer, no occasion could arise for it to refuse the prayer made in the application. The dismissal of the application on the ground. of limitation did not, therefore, amount to a refusal of the prayer made in the application. A question of refusing a prayer can only arise where the authority, considering that question, is competent to accept that prayer. If acceptance is beyond the jurisdiction or competence of the authority, no occasion can arise for that authority to pass any order of refusal. The order, which the authority had to pass, was one of rejection of the application which amounted to saying that the revising authority was not going to consider the prayer at all and it was only after the consideration of the prayer that an occasion for refusal or acceptance of the prayer could arise. In these circumstances, we are of the opinion that, in this case, the application under Sub-section (3)of Section 11 of the U.P. Sales Tax Act before this Court is also in competent and not maintainable.
2. The application is dismissed with costs.

The Hacienda Mexican Bar and Taqueria have scheduled a special event in honor of famed Mexican painter and feminist Frida Kahlode Rivera to take place on Saturday, June 28, 2014.
Proceeds from the evening will be donated to Bali WISE – a women’s educational initiative that provides literacy, language, personal development and vocational training to economically disadvantaged women in Bali. Funds from the Frida Kahlo Evening will be specifically donated to special vocational fund to help local women achieve gainful employment.
Frida Kahlo (1907-1954) lived her entire life in Mexico and developed a unique style of painting known for its celebration of Mexican nationalism and indigenous traditions as well as its strong, bold depiction of the female experience. Emblematic of Mexican naïve or folk art, her work was once described by Andre Breton as “ribbon around a bomb.”
Characteristic of her fabled directness of statement, both in person and on canvas, Kalho once said: "I was born a bitch. I was born a painter."
An appropriate spirited role model for women anywhere seeking to improve their roles and position in society, this Mexican feminist hero will be celebrated at one of Bali’s best Mexican bars and restaurant in a night intended to improve the lot of impoverished women in Bali.
Rp. 200,000 (US$17) gains admission for the evening that includes:
- Free drinks and food from 7:00-9:00 pm
- Salsa Dancing
- Auction Art Limbo
- Live Auction

STUDENTS from West Cheshire College have won a competition to design a replacement for the new M&S store at Cheshire Oaks.
The team of three students, who are all studying for a BTec in construction, were presented with their prize of an iPad each at an awards ceremony held on Thursday evening.
The competition spanned a full academic year and was managed by construction company Simons, as part of its considerate constructors scheme to become more involved with local communities including those living close to the M&S Cheshire Oaks site.
M&S Cheshire Oaks architects Aukett Fitzroy Robinson issued a challenge to design alternative uses for the land and building of the store when it comes to end of its current operating life as a retail store.
Students have spent the last year designing a hypothetical project and spent time in the classroom and on site at Cheshire Oaks learning about design, sustainable building practices, cost planning as well as health and safety.
The winning design was provided by team Dynamic Construction – Charlene Hayman, Tristam Pfieffer and Sam Mawer, – who presented their ideas to a panel including architects, construction directors and M&S managers. Judges were impressed by the team’s innovative sustainable mini-village design which reused many of the existing materials at Cheshire Oaks while providing affordable housing.
All of the students who took part in the competition received an M&S gift card and the project counted towards 20 per cent of their BTec qualification for the academic year.
M&S Cheshire Oaks store manager, Hilary Wilkinson, was on the judging panel for the live final of the competition. She said: “It was great to see all of the innovative ideas that the students have provided for new uses of the store and site.
“An immense amount of effort has obviously gone into all of the designs and I was very impressed by the standard of the entries.”
Mark Noonan, customer development director for Simons, said: “Dynamic showed that 3D design combined with sustainability can really give impressive results. Their innovative Mini-Village design took elements of Aukett Fitzroy Robinson’s design and catapulted it into the future. Reuse of materials was at the core of this project and Dynamic really went the extra mile to demonstrate that their solution met the brief.”

We have been robbed of our Landscape
As unexpected as surprising, we have robbed of our landscape. We had to leave our streets, parks and mountains. Nobody can enjoy the woods anymore, the smell of flowers, nobody appreciates the yellow, white and red flowers of the roundabouts; nobody walks in the meadows anymore and footballs no longer hit the bushes in the squares. The green and flowery boulevard fades into the horizon of a desolate beach.
Grey streets cover every inch of the city; melancholy fills the evening with the painful bitterness of uncertainty and, every now and then, someone crosses the street half hidden and unsafe.
We look at the landscape from our balconies and windows; we come closer every morning looking for a ray of sunshine, or to feel a breeze or a few drops of rain on our faces; in the distance we hear the heartbeats of the landscape through birdsongs telling us that nature is there.
We have never understood how vital nature is to our lives; the harshness of confinement shows us that the peacefulness and freshness of the grove; of the feverish river is a haven for all. For such complex, disparate cities we live in.
Ah if I could choose my landscape
I would choose, I would rob this street,
this freshly dusked street
where I fiercely revive
and which I know with strict nostalgia
the number and name of your seventy trees.
(Choosing my landscape, Mario Benedetti 1920-2009)
It is true that sooner or later we will regain our freedom and return to our landscapes and common places. Embracing them with impetus, happiness and, of course, relief after the storm.
On returning to the landscape, it is unavoidable to rethink the ways in which we relate to nature, we have lived in a feverish landscape. We have turned our backs on it with unusual arrogance .
The fate of our landscapes deserves a kind glance, recognizing that we have not been, in our imagination, victims but captors of a sick nature. The mistreated landscape, abandoned to its fate, has firmly demanded a few minutes of attention.
It has gathered us at the moment of truth, without suspicion of our fragility, without choice and possible doubt; where all actions are uncertain the landscape opens up, in silence the bosom of nature, towards a change without nuances and, even less, without hesitation of oneself .
"If you want to change the world, start by changing yourself first ".
(M. Ghandi, 1869 - 1948)
After all, we will shut the doors of the past learning that landscapes have a soul, the roots of the future are woven into our hands; longing not to be imprisoned again contemplating sunsets from the window; where everything is erased, everything disappears into the foliage of the trees .

The U.S. Postal Service “misplaced” about 85 mail-in ballots for an upcoming all-mail election in Sahuarita, Pima County Recorder F. Ann Rodriguez said Friday. While replacing the ballots was relatively easy for a smaller-city election, the incident is raising questions about the Tucson City Council’s recent decision to switch to all-mail voting. This is the first time the Recorder’s Office has heard of the Postal Service losing ballots, said Rodriguez.
The disappearance of what “appears to be a single mail tray” of ballots was discovered when voters, all in the same section of the Quail Creek neighborhood, started reporting they hadn’t received theirs a week after they were mailed out.Just over 12,000 ballots were mailed to Sahuarita voters on April 21. So far, 85 voters have requested replacements.Rodriguez said the problem appears to be limited to “a single tray” of ballots intended for that neighborhood. With 1.6 million mail-in ballots sent in Pima County over the last decade, “this is a very rare occurrence,” she said.
Postal workers “haven’t found any evidence that any mail was misplaced,” said Robert Soler, a spokesperson with the U.S. Postal Service in Tucson. Still, both Soler and Rodriguez urged voters to call the Recorder’s Office if they hadn’t received a ballot and they would be mailed before the election on May 17.
“The voters have been issued second ballots and we have taken care of them,” Rodriguez said, who added that measures are in place to make sure there would be only one vote per person.

I have tried and struggled to put into words the multiple times that I have attempted to process this relationship. It’s a very new and slightly puzzling experience to try and express how I feel but never feeling like I’m doing it justice.
Throughout my life thus far, I have been learning – always learning – particularly about things I may not want in a relationship. I had resigned myself to the fact that to be in a relationship I will end up having to compromise a fair amount because where am I going to find someone particular in the same ways as me? I still pinch myself from time to time to make sure I haven’t just made him up in my mind.
It’s a weird feeling to have, he makes me so happy but the kind of happy where it’s not overly animated. In a way that you are content with life. I know this is something special.
Having never wanted to move here in the first place, never wanted to stay, never wanted to come back after travelling, I mean every word when I say I do not want to stay in London. I will truly be heartbroken if in ten years or maybe even five years time I am still here. But no matter how much I mean that, I also know there will always be somewhere in my heart for this city. Like a long term relationship, it has shaped and moulded my life in my years as a newly fledged adult. That will forever remain part of my identity. Like everything else that has influenced me in my life, I would not be the person I am without having been here. With nearly 7 years since I moved here, that’s a significant proportion of my life.
I write this as I sit on the bus home just going past Tower of London and going onto Tower Bridge. It is these moments when there is that moment of stillness as the almost empty bus sits in momentary traffic just in front of Tower of London that I think “I’m pretty lucky to be here”. This city swallows and spits out people everyday, and I am here, still standing. It’s a reaffirming message – you’re alright, you’ll be fine.
It’s been a little while since I’ve done any writing. The last month to 6 weeks have been manic – I’ve barely had time to have a thought to myself. So much for my intention of coming back into London life and making more time for myself. Sadly, I just get too caught up in wanting to do things so that everything planned just happens at once. It’s a perpetual cycle of doing too much, doing too little, doing too much, doing too little. The problem with doing too much is that I don’t get much time to self-reflect or process things as they happen. You get so caught up with trying to get things done that there is no real thinking behind it. I wonder if it’s a London thing or if it’s a me thing. I certainly didn’t have this pace in lifestyle when I was away travelling.
I am very tired. Hopefully June will be slower paced but who knows…
News of the presumed death of Hansjorg Auer, David Lama and Jess Roskelley are making their rounds within the climbing and mountaineering community.
I don’t really know what to say.
It’s hard to grasp when the people you admire, who are three of your community’s and mankind’s best, are taken away by the very venture they excel at.
It’s humbling in a way. No matter how good you are at your trade, if nature decides it, then an avalanche will lay waste to you. It doesn’t give a fuck about how expert you are. And yet we play at nature’s feet. Because we’re compelled to, because we’re not living if we don’t. Like an analogy I read once, I believe from Alex Honnold – Alone on the Wall, as a climber to not live the life you are drawn to, is like to have a sports car and only drive it to the end of the road at speed limit and back.
I had the fortune of being at an event a couple of years ago where Hansjorg Auer premiered his film “No Turning Back” and had a Q&A session with the host. He had such a raw energy about him, it’s hard to connect that with the fact that he, along with brilliant David Lama and Jess Roskelley, are gone. The energy dissipated. What hits home even harder is that David Lama is the same age as me. All of them brilliant and in their prime, just gone.
Death eventually comes for all of us. Events like this serves as a heavy reminder and give us pause to reflect, contemplate and mourn. But it should never deter us from our dreams for adventure. To show respect to the dead, to ourselves, we need to carry on with their memories and continue living the life we must. The life that we couldn’t be living without.
Rest in peace guys, you may be gone but you won’t be forgotten.
Expectation is such a double edge sword. On one hand, it helps give the motivation and confidence to fully commit to things because you expect to be able to do it. On the other hand, it does create this discord within oneself when you fail to meet your expectations. It’s so easy to fall into that rabbit hole of berating yourself and falling deeper into the vicious circle.
We all would do well to remind ourselves from time to time that we are not invincible and we are not limitless. To be able to listen to oneself and to take a more overview perspective to be able to see the upwards trend in progression is so important. Yes we should set goals and work with expectations but we are the only person we will ever get to be in this life. If you are keep knocking yourself down from not meeting expectations, to what purpose does that serve?
I still miss you. I can hardly believe it myself but I do. I’ve always found it tricky to let go and move on after relationships but I’ve never stuck around for long. It’s coming up to five months and I still feel a deep sense of loss when flashbacks ambush me or when I wonder about you. It’s slowly dawning on me that maybe it will always be that way.
It’s frustrating to be in this circle. I think about you, feel the sadness, get frustrated that it’s still so dominant but allow myself to feel in the hope that I’m working through it and thus it goes round.
I’m not pining. I’m pulling hard hours at work, see friends, climb, yoga and plan trips to escape the city. I joke, laugh, rant and cry. I’m a different person to the one I was already but emotionally I am still there.
I’ve worked through it rationally as much as I need to. I know I’m fine on my own, and I understand from an overall perspective things as they were, why things happened. But nothing helps this sense of loss that hits me in the core and I can’t shake.
The worst part of it all is that the person I miss isn’t even the you that you are now. Or even the you who you were five months ago when we broke up. I miss the you from almost a year ago (doesn’t time fly quickly?). The worst part of it is knowing the person I miss doesn’t even exist right now. I am mourning a memory. I have no precedent of how this goes. All I can do is see how it goes just to keep going.
Just a short one today.
For the longest time I’ve been trying to find somewhere that I feel I belong/ feel at home but have never been successful. Either not been able to find somewhere or it’s slipped through my fingers.
Traveling is the one place that this doesn’t seem to matter. I always felt like I belong even though it’s the most transitional state I’ve ever been in. I think because you and the people around you are so transitory that you are connected by the fact you are there together at the same point in time – coincidence and luck play a part. In that way I think it’s beautiful.

A Place Called Winter - Patrick Gale
In the golden 1900s, Harry Cane, a shy, eligible gentleman of leisure is drawn from a life of quiet routine into courting and marrying Winnie, eldest daughter of the fatherless Wells clan, who are not quite as respectable as they would appear. They settle by the sea and have a daughter and conventional marriage does not seem such a tumultuous change after all. When a chance encounter awakens scandalous desires never acknowledged until now, however, Harry is forced to forsake the land and people he loves for a harsh new life as a homesteader on the newly colonized Canadian prairies. There, in a place called Winter, he will come to find a deep love within an alternative family, a love imperiled by war, madness and an evil man of undeniable magnetism.
A Place Called Winter is a tale of heartbreaking hardship, a book that seems to combine Pride and Prejudice with E.M Forsters’ Maurice. Winter, Saskatchewan, Canada is in fact a real place, which was first settled in 1908. Among these settlers was Patrick Gale’s fictional figure Harry Cane, whose experience is loosely based on Gale’s own great grandfather who was mysteriously banished from the country leaving his wife and young child back in England while he faced the wilderness of Canada alone.
Nothing could seem more unrealistic, at first than a married man living in England with a young child and private income who should decide to leave it all and sail for a life full of hardship and uncertainty in Canada. However by the time Harry Cane gets on the immigrant ship, Gale has established his character with precise economical strokes. Harry is apt to stammer and is constrained by everything that is expected of him. What changes his life utterly is the realization that he loves men, in a period where homosexual acts, even in private, were punished by law and social disgrace. Harry meets Mr. Browning and they begin a sexual relationship, which on Harry’s side is a relation of love and passion. Yet when a blackmailer exposes their relationship, Harry is told by his wife’s family to remove himself from his wife, child and country.
Patrick Gale wrote A Place Called Winter in two and a half years and re-traced Harry’s steps. “ I spent three months there, and although Winter is a ghost town now, I had the coordinates for Harry’s farm so I was able to track it down precisely. I found it terribly moving that his acres were still being ploughed.” The novel begins in a Canadian psychiatric hospital, where Harry undergoes hypnotic therapy, revealing the events that led up to that moment. Gale explains that “the challenge was to inhabit homosexual life in a time when there are no words to describe any of the things the character feels or does. It is quite literally a story about the unspeakable.”
The classic story of a man finding himself through labor on his own land is de-railed almost as soon as it begins to take shape. Harry is pursued by an almost nightmarish figure Troels Munck. This virtually fairytale villain has a knack for spotting weakness in others, and therefore making himself essential to them. Above all Troels is a man of superb animal instinct, un-vexed by any ideas of mortality, and has a prowling capability for destruction, as he haunts Harry’s career as a homesteader. And yet through Troels, Harry finds great happiness, and a neighbor whom he comes to love, but also brings horror, death and incarnation. Critics have highlighted compassion as one of the uniting qualities in Gale’s fiction, but I am still surprised by Harry’s willingness to acknowledge Munck’s brutality. “Munck is probably a psychopath,” says Gale, “but my difficulty with writing a negative character is that, in the course of the book, I come to understand some of their behavior and at least halfway forgive them.”
A Place Called Winter does not resolve itself, or offer a closed ending, but it does offer hope that emotional truth and loyalty to that truth maybe a way forward for Harry. He is an intensely sympathetic character in his struggles. Harry Cane’s tale is one of many, the disappeared who where not wanted by their family or society, and whose stories were long stained with shame. This fascinating novel is their requiem.

“If you want to change your world, plant a garden.”
~ Carol J. Michel
We started seeding change in 2017 with one garden and the vision of a city (our city) in which by 2030 every school has or is a (forest) garden, where wild life and humans co-exist, and the diverse edible landscapes we have created not only provide food for everyone, but they are also places for education, recreation, and social and cultural connection where people meet and co-create the world they want to live in – a world of diversity and regeneration of the people, the community, the soil and the Earth. By 2019, we were gardening with kids in 3 kindergartens and 1 secondary school, and today more than 400 kids, and 40 educators and teachers are involved.
“Unless we are willing to encourage our children to reconnect with and appreciate the natural world, we can’t expect them to help protect and care for it.”
~ David Suzuki
A school garden is an innovative tool for education and learning, offering a holistic experience (body, mind, soul) to children, a space where they learn through play and exploration about nature, but also about themselves, as individuals, and as a group. All their senses are involved, and social interactions are stimulated and improved.
Educational gardens are natural spaces where children learn about food and where it comes from, how plants grow and what are the basic needs for their well-being (air, water, food from the soil, sun/light), about the various regenerative cycles in nature (life is not linear but circular and continuous), about the abundant life in a living and fertile soil, about the joy of discovering insects and simply looking at flowers.
A garden in the school yard:
- means the opportunity to spend time outside the classroom, outdoors, and to experience the natural world with all the senses;
- allows children to follow and understand the process by which a seed becomes a plant;
- exemplifies the time dimension, but also the resources needed, for plants to grow;
- helps children to observe the interdependencies that exist in nature;
- allows kids to observe the great diversity of seeds and plants that can grow in a garden and how this diversity creates balance and resilience;
- teaches children about pollinators and their essential role in food production;
- facilitates discussions about farmers and their working conditions, about ethics, fair trade and social justice;
- teaches kids about the seasonality of the food and the importance of short food chains, thus encouraging the consumption of fresh local food;
- empowers children and encourages teamwork;
- teaches them to plan a project, to implement it, to take care of it and to enjoy the fruits of their work;
- can be used to support the learning process of almost any desired school subject – from mathematics to foreign languages.
We love gardening with kids. They are natural gardeners and native wonderers. We are learning so much from them. They transform every activity into something magical, like when we are making the seed balls or digging for worms for the wormery.
After 4 years of gardening, we feel we are ready to move forward. Now that the Peter Pan Forest Kids kindergarten joined our Slow Food community, we asked the permaculture designer Radu Crăciun, from the Romanian Permaculture Association, to guide us in transitioning from our predominantly annual educational gardens to edible forest gardens, one of the best-known expressions of permaculture design.
About how our edible forest gardens will evolve, we will share more in a future intervention. Till then, let’s share the healing stories of people exploring ways to live more lightly on our one and only planet; let’s keep seeding change and show our children that the magic (and the change, when it’s necessary) comes from the simple things we have the power to do every day with our own hands, no matter how small we are, as long as there is love, patience, perseverance and attention for people and nature.
“Yes, there are days that it seems like the world around us is coming to an end. It may – or it may not. But let us keep planting. Let us have hope that the accumulation of our collective planting may save this small planet, and our own souls.
So let us, friends, keep planting.”
~ Omid Safi
Food education and awareness raising, Târgu Mureş – Marosvásárhely Community Spokesperson
“The work of our Slow Food Community is a manifesto for Good, Clean and Fair food and sustainable living in the urban area, aiming to educate urban consumers (especially kids and their families as well as young people) and to help the local producers to reach the city’s inhabitants.”

Adexsi UK has been called on to provide a complete suite of fire, smoke and ventilation solutions for the first phase of the Royal Wharf development in London’s Docklands.
Royal Wharf, in the Royal Docks, is set to be the largest new neighbourhood in the Docklands since the development of Canary Wharf around 20 years ago. A new urban village on a 38 acre site, it will include more than 3,000 new homes as a mix of apartments and townhouses. The former wharfside site, along the north bank of the river Thames, is just upstream from the Thames Barrier.
The project is being taken forward by developer Ballymore with the backing of Singaporean investor Oxley. The first homes will be ready for residents to move in later this year, with the whole project on programme for completion in 2020.
Adexsi UK will be working closely with building services specialist Emico to integrate VeriShaft and VeriFlow systems into the project. These systems will provide a mixture of natural and mechanical smoke ventilation to the residential towers, using Adexsi UK’s experience to ensure communal corridors and stairwells remain safe to use at all times. In addition, a VeriPark system has been selected for use in the underground parking areas, ensuring good air quality is maintained and effective smoke extract is provided in the event of a fire.
Bringing it all together is VeriCom, Adexsi UK’s latest control system offering a flexible, programmable solution that can be quickly and simply applied to all smoke ventilation, daily/natural ventilation and smoke/fire damper control requirements. The versatility of VeriCom often enables the same equipment to be used for multiple systems, providing a more efficient control solution and substantial cost savings for the client.

31 December 2014, News Wires – The Obama administration on Tuesday took two long-awaited steps that could increase the amount of processed light crude that can be shipped under the 40-year-old ban on exports of most domestic crude.
The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) released the guidance in the form of frequently asked questions (FAQ) in the first effort by the administration to clarify an issue that has caused confusion and consternation in energy markets for more than a year, Reuters reported.
It also gave permission to “some” companies to ship treated light oil called condensate, but did not give details about the private applications that it approved.
The new guidelines were seen as a big step in opening the door for more crude exports, particularly the light oil produced from major shale formations such as the Bakken and the Eagle Ford.
According to the guidelines, energy companies must process crude in distillation towers in order to export it and not simply treat it with pressure reduction alone through the use of flash drums that have so-called heater treaters, or separators.
“Crude oil processed through such equipment remains classified as crude oil,” and is not allowed for export, according to the government guidance, which has been in the works for nearly a year.
Uncertainty about what kind of petroleum can be shipped abroad has frustrated oil market players since BIS, an office of the Commerce Department, quietly gave permission in 2013 to a small company, Peaker Energy, to export minimally treated light oil called condensate.
Last spring BIS gave permission to export treated condensate in private letters to two other companies, Pioneer Natural Resources and Enterprise Products Partners.
The private nature of the communications between the government and the three energy companies left a wide range of other drillers in the dark about investing in expensive infrastructure to process condensate.
Jamie Webster, the senior director of oil markets at research firm IHS, said the new information was a positive sign for the industry, as it “takes the leash off of Commerce” and signals it may take additional action on crude exports, which has largely been frozen for the past several months.
The American Petroleum Institute, a oil lobby group, praised the guidelines but warned that restrictions still in place “limit” the US’ potential to grow as “an energy superpower”.
Last summer BIS put a hold on applications for permission to export lightly treated condensate.
The domestic drilling boom of the past six years has led to a build-up of light oil in Texas and Louisiana, which many refiners find difficult to process. Also, pressure has grown on the Obama administration to relax the export ban that Congress passed after the 1970s Arab oil embargo led to fears of energy shortages.
Several lawmakers in both the House of Representatives and Senate have said that unless energy companies can export oil to Asia and Europe, the drilling boom will eventually choke on its own output.

a Milkshake with Gunpowder (R16, 114mins) Navot Papushado (****1/2) directs.
At long last, Karen Gillan has landed the starring role befitting her undeniable abilities.
After getting her Hollywood start in the MCU and proving to be a great foil for Jack Black, Kevin Hart, and Dwayne Johnson in the Jumanji films, the former Doctor Who co-star now gets the lead role in this imaginative, bravura, crowd-pleasing action-thriller.
‘Gunpowder Milkshake’ Review:
She portrays Sam, a janitor/contract killer for “The Firm.” Since Scarlet (Game of Thrones’ Lena Headey) left the role and her daughter’s life when she was a teenager, she has been doing the job.
But once a low-key gig turns into a brutal bloodbath because of “poor intel,” Sam may have to do like her mother did and disappear. Because during her first accidental escalation, she kills the son of a prominent and known-to-be-vengeful customer, Jim McAlester (Ralph Ineson), and her “make-up job” of collecting money stolen from The Firm by one of its accountants goes equally pear-shaped.
Sam is forced to flee for her life and beg help from some of her mother’s best friends while also caring for Emily, the accountant’s daughter, who is eight years old (Chloe Coleman).
Gunpowder Milkshake tells its rather stale premise with a swagger that is quite hard to ignore, from its neon-infused opening titles to its late ’60s-influenced soundtrack and balletic moments of over-the-top violence.
It’s essentially a feminised take on a John Wick-esque world (The Firm is basically Wick’s High Table, The Continental here becomes The Library), mixed with Baby Driver-level dedication to car chases and use of music, and a dash of Guns Akimbo and Luc Besson’s The Professional. Director and co-writer Navot Papushado doesn’t really bring anything new to the table.
With Michelle Yeoh, Paul Giamatti, Carla Gugino, and Angela Bassett doing her best Samuel L. Jackson impression, and with Gillan once again proving more than capable at action with a tinge of archness, the story becomes irrelevant to your overall enjoyment of the film.
The Smallest Things can Put the Biggest Smile on your Face.
Some of the highlights of the scene include Sam’s I Love Kittens bag, the library’s book-concealed armoury (“you’ll need a Jane Austen, a Charlotte Bronte, and a Virginia Woolf,” Sam is instructed), and Sam’s momentary paralysis of his upper limbs.
But the wider picture that the explosive Gunpowder symbolises is what should really make you smile. We’ve clearly come a long way from the days when action movies were solely testosterone-driven, when even a poorly planned and performed film like Zack Snyder’s Sucker Punch was considered a success.
This milkshake, on the other hand, is a classic, but with a surprising amount of flavour.

So how exactly can these agencies inspire travellers? How can they empower their employees and what are the key technologies they should be focusing on? These are some of the questions Amadeus has set out to answer in its recent research report: ‘Digitize the predictable, humanize the experiential’.
The report delves deeper into three steps to consider in the transformation of customer experience using technologies, notably ensuring the adoption of new technologies is fully aligned with business strategy; empowering human resources to drive a better integration with technologies; and having the right technology partner on the journey of transformation.
We have become accustomed to analysis of the four generations of travellers: Generation Z, Millennials, Generation X and Baby Boomers and Ms Magesh describes the diversity associated to each group as fascinating.
“The fact of the matter is: with varied demography come varied travel trends. Take millennials, they are known for their digital first attitude and crave ‘unique’ and visually appealing experiences which can then be shared through their social networks. On the other side of the spectrum you’ll find baby boomers who place much more value on the human interaction provided by travel agents,” she explains.
While all of these groups have specific ‘character traits’ they are all in the pursuit of experiences. “As individuals seek increased personalisation, destinations are stepping up their game to meet their needs. The future of travel distribution will be driven by scalability and aggregation of on-demand content and inventory from multiple platforms. Ultimately, this will empower travel agents to create more complete and bespoken itineraries for their customers,” says Ms Magesh.
She believes it is increasingly obvious that for retail travel agencies to succeed they have to provide travellers with the right content through the right channel at the right time. “In turn, this will make every engagement point matter for travel agencies, enabling them to deliver an enjoyable customer experience throughout the journey,” she explains.
“We also found that the generation factor notwithstanding, online connectivity and digital technology continue to transform lives. Today’s travellers are neither purely online nor offline and there are infinite combinations of both pathways in a traveller journey map – dreaming, planning, booking, preparing, travelling and sharing,” she adds.
It is no longer about selling a fare or a holiday, it is now about selling a retail experience and Mr Magesh notes that while “retail is not dead, boring retail is.” She says that with advances in mobile technology, travel, which was formerly “a more linear process”, has transformed into “a fluid and more spontaneous act”, and adds: “Regardless of its complexity, travellers are seeking the best customer experience that combines online and offline and for that to happen, technology and human touchpoints must integrate well to deliver a frictionless experience.”
Ultimately, for retail travel agencies to deliver a world-class customer experience that evolves with consumer trends and needs they must ensure they embrace new technologies and choose the right technology partner. Under this pathway, Ms Magesh says: “Combined with the human touch and a good mix of online and offline, there’s no predicting what these agencies can achieve in just a few years’ time!”

Pop star Una Healy has opted out of one of The Saturdays' dance routines on tour because it is too sexy to perform while she is pregnant.
The singer is expecting her first child with rugby star boyfriend Ben Foden next year (12), but is refusing to take time off work until after the band completes its All Fired Up! shows in December (11).
However, Healy has decided not to take part in one of the more risque routines the girls will perform onstage, insisting it would be "inappropriate" for a mother-to-be.
She tells Britain's The Sun, "Although I'm six months pregnant, there's only one song where I leave the stage during the tour.
"It's not that I can't do it, it's because it would be inappropriate for me to do it, grinding along with the dancers. It's just too sexual.
"The boys (dancers) were also like, "We don't want to look like the one who knocked you up!" So that's when I take my little rest."

How can small businesses and non-profits use social media?
Small Businesses, Non Profit, in fact most businesses use Social Media. But How?
Due to Social Media becoming such a big part of Business these days, it’s no wonder that small businesses are using it to their advantage. From a survey of 1,235 small businesses in America “Nearly 50% have increased time spent on social media this year and nearly 55% say they’re using platforms like Twitter and Facebook. Facebook as a primary tool for either acquiring new customers of generating sales leads” (EBSCO Industries, 2017).
Small Businesses are able to use social Media to their advantage in many ways. One of the main reasons is because it is a way for Low-Cost Advertising. This form of advertising makes it cheap and simple to get their products out to the consumer. Social Media can also be used as a way for the business to get the image they are trying to portray out there.
Non-Profits often will use social media as a way raise awareness about the not-for-profit organisation. Often used as a way to advertise donating to the organisation.
How might the use of social media differ for small and large businesses and in B2C and B2B contexts?
B2B (Business to Business) rely heavily on Facebook and LinkedIn to communicate as they are looking to communicate with potential suppliers and customers. They aim to identify prospective partners for B2B selling. So rather than trying to connect with customers at a more personal level, B2B will usually keep their use of social media quite professional. Now I’m not saying B2C businesses (Business to Consumer) aren’t professional on social media. But they are able to use as a way to reach possible consumers, advertise their brand and give themselves an image that potential consumers would like. They also add a more personal touch to it and generally take a more casual approach to the advertising over various social media platforms.
When used by businesses, in what ways does mobile social media differ from ‘traditional’ social media?
Traditional Media, what is it? Well, it’s the media that us as the younger generations don’t use as often. Media like television, radio, newspapers, magazines, newsletters. This form of media relies on One-to-many advertising and there is no engagement from the consumers.
Social Media on the other hand (I’m sure you know what it is. If not read my other blogs!) has Two-way communication as potential consumers are able to respond, able to have one-on-one communication with the business. Social media also allows for authentic content from the business.
What, if any, are the risks of using social media to small businesses (and all businesses)?
Social media isn’t all rainbows and lollypops when its used for businesses. There are some risks involved when you use social media to your advantage. For example:
Increased Customer Power. With the use of social media, it is very easy for bad customer experiences to be shared online for everyone to see. Complaints and bad reviews are often left of social media for the business. However, it is very difficult for these businesses to hide the fact that they have received these.
Another is that businesses aren’t able to keep up with the negative or misleading statements being made about the business. With so many different platforms in social media, businesses can lose track of these statements, which ultimately can lead to the business getting a bad name.
One other risk is that there is also the chance of accidental release of confidential information. All it takes is one employee to spill the beans about the business that the world was not meant to know about. However, there will always be risks involved when it comes to advertising or if the business is trying to get information out into the world, in whatever way it is done!
Let me know what you think in the comments below!

Scottish DJ Steve Goodman, better known as Kode 9, took the stage at New York’s Le Poisson Rouge on March 30, 2010 opening for Flying Lotus. His style of DJing is called Dubstep, which for the non-ravers out there means that Dubstep tracks are generally produced at a tempo of around 140 beats per minute and in recent years have developed signature half time rhythms, often heavily shuffled or syncopated, and usually, though not exclusively, including only one snare drum hit per bar, often on the third beat. According2g that means you’re gonna dance your ass off and get lost in the funky tribal beats. For the Prince fans that might be reading this, you might want to look into Kode 9’s 2004 collaboration with Daddy Gee called “Sine of the Dub,” which is a loose interpretation of the purple one’s “Sign O’ the Times.”

I added this railroad bridge to the Civil War category because it was burned down in 1862 by Confederates during the war. The Union army built a pontoon bridge to cross to the river there.
Here's a link to a drawing of the pontoon bridge being built:
Here's what it looked like before being burned:
I believe the Hannibal Mississippi River bridge's vertical lift span was moved from this bridge.

Manchester City could announce their next signing of the summer transfer window today.
Goalkeeper Ederson is expected to be announced as the second signing of the summer after the club announced Bernardo Silva last week.
Should City announce the keeper it is thought they would break the current record for a goalkeeper set by Juventus when they signed Buffon for nearly £33million.
As the players update the world on social media from their various exotic home lands plenty of other players are being linked with moves to the Etihad .
Kyle Walker and Benjamin Mendy are just two more names that are currently in the transfer mix.
While Kelechi Iheancho is expected to leave the club during the summer window.

“I’m glad we supported him through that journey from football player to manager and I hope that Pablo, once he hangs up his boots, comes back in some capacity.”

Mooy’s been outstanding for Huddersfield this season and after David Wagner said he might have a place at the club next season.
He said to Sky Sports:

“I said this before, Aaron is the heart of our game. He’s able to decelerate when necessary or accelerate the game if you need it.
“He’s so confident and calm on the ball, and has developed his fighting attitude since he arrived, because he arrived as a number 10 and usually number 10s are not the best fighters.
“Now, since he played a little bit deeper, he has a great fighting attitude as well. Usually, you’ll not find often the player who is so confident on the ball and has such great fighting attitude.
“And he is one of the outstanding players we had in the season. We’re very happy that he was with us and maybe this is a further phone call that I have to do.”

Inks for reservoir type pens are available in filler bottles. Some drawing inks contain a high proportion of shellac that dries quickly and can clog the fine filament inside the ink delivery system within the nib. The most suitable ink is one that is free flowing but quick-drying, with good adhesion qualities. Some water-based dyes do not have sufficient viscosity for technical pens, causing the dye to flow too freely from the nib and flood the drawing. These should be avoided if possible. There are also pens that are more of the disposable variety that work quite well! Micron Pens, Draftmatics, Koh-I-Noor (shop Pens)and other pens are quite useful as techical pens for drafting.

5. Constant fatigue
Are you constantly feeling tired? When your blood circulation isn’t working properly, your muscles don’t get enough oxygen, which means it takes much longer for you to replenish your energy even after the smallest of tasks.
4. Pain in your feet
If your feet are cold or throbbing with pain, it’s likely to be due to poor blood circulation
3. Wounds don’t heal quickly
When your blood doesn’t circulate properly, oxygen will have trouble reaching your lower body parts. Wounds need oxygen to heal and if they don’t get the oxygen they need, it will take a lot longer than usual for them to heal.
If you experience pain in your chest that is so intense that it spreads to your arms, neck and shoulders, you’re experiencing angina. This is caused by not enough blood flowing to the heart. If you’ve got these symptoms, visit a doctor immediately.
Oedema is a kind of swelling in your feet, ankles or abdominal muscles. This happens when too much blood builds up in these spots. If this happens to you, you should contact your doctor to determine the right treatment.

After five years and 11 seasons, "Duck Dynasty" will be ending following its current season. The series, A&E's longest-running reality show, follows the Robertson family and their business in Louisiana manufacturing products for duck hunters. The Robertson family announced in a video on Wednesday that the current 11th season would be their last. "We decided as a family for this to be the final chapter of the 'Duck Dynasty' series," Jase Robertson said. The reality show premiered in 2012 and in 2013 became the most-watched reality series in cable history. The series was temporarily banned from the airwaves that same year after family patriarch Phil's anti-gay remarks went viral. The current and final season is set to air its last episode on April 12.

Saturday, 31 March 2012
More than forty years after its original cinematic release, La Piscine has been newly restored. Starring Alain Delon and Jane Birkin, it’s a sensual film about a crime of passion set in the oppressive heat of a St Tropez summer.
Jean-Paul and Marianne are an attractive couple enjoying a lazy poolside holiday. They are joined by Harry, a successful record producer, friend and former lover of Marianne. With him is Penelope, his teenage daughter – to whom Jean-Paul takes an obvious shine. Marianne and Harry, meanwhile, also appear to harbour a lingering attraction to one another.
After days of simmering sexual tension, things finally come to a head. During a drunken altercation, one of the party is left floating face down in the swimming pool: a tragic victim of the seething resentment and sexual politics on display.
Can the remaining relationships survive the death? And will the perpetrator be brought to justice?
La Piscine aims from the start to display its overt sexuality on screen. Opening with Jean-Paul (Alain Delon) and Marianne (Romy Schneider) by the pool, director Jacques Deray immediately throws the audience into the midst of their passionate relationship. Both are close to naked, their beautiful bronzed flesh glistening in the sunlight. They kiss and hold each other in a show of blatant sexuality which borders on the masochistic, as Jean-Paul aggressively scratches Marianne’s back. Perhaps a portent of things to come occurs when he provides evidence of his misogyny: throwing her into the pool before rudely spitting water at her.
It’s a very handsome movie. Not only are the stars beautiful, but the design of the piece has focused specifically on bright, clean blocks of colour. The blue of the pool, the verdant green countryside and the vividly coloured towels are loud and vibrant – an almost hyper-real palate.
Into the middle of this beauty comes Harry (Maurice Ronet), a record producer and former lover of Marianne. He brings with him Penelope (Jane Birkin), his rather sullen teenage daughter. It rapidly becomes clear that their presence is set to upset the equilibrium – not least when it’s made apparent that Marianne and Harry have been lovers in the past. Jean-Paul’s determination to gain a measure of revenge for this is hinted at very early, as he aggressively ascertains Penelope’s age – his intentions are clearly not noble.
Birkin is clearly too old to be playing an 18-year-old girl, and her performance reflects that fact. She tries far too hard to appear carefree and youthful, skipping around looking quite ridiculous. It’s actually quite jarring – the film is initially very sexually charged, and she undermines this. For the purposes of the plot, it would hardly have mattered if the character had been older – or if Deray had ordered Birkin to rein in her unsubtle performance. As it is, Jean-Paul’s early sexual aggression and Marianne’s submission remain largely unexplored after Penelope’s entrance – arguably the film’s most interesting aspect is abandoned.
One of the key flaws with the film is that Jean-Paul finds Penelope attractive at all. It’s evident from what’s shown on-screen initially that he and Marianne have an extremely sexual relationship – and she’s a very beautiful woman. Penelope is portrayed very clearly as a naive child, and is not nearly as sensual or fanciable as Marianne. Despite the power struggle being waged between the three adults, it’s difficult to believe that even someone as reactive and masochistic as Jean-Paul could obtain any pleasure from such a relationship.
When the jealousies and rivalries finally boil over, a murder takes place. But it’s not a convincing one. Some really half-hearted violence is followed by a protracted episode in the titular swimming pool, which is indecisive, unthreatening and unexciting. The build up to this incident lacks any passion, and there’s no real catalyst for it. But for the tragic outcome, it’s actually quite comedic – surely not the effect Deray was aiming for.
The death doesn’t actually occur until 80 minutes into the movie, which highlights another of the production’s flaws: it would be perfectly possible to trim thirty minutes from the running time of La Piscine without having any detrimental effect. Far too many scenes do too little to develop the plot or relationships. Obviously, nobody wants to see movies which concentrate wholly on plot rather than character, but here the balance is wrong – especially given how shallow some of the characters are. And after spending so long meandering to the death scene, the pace doesn’t pick up afterwards. Instead, a plodding investigation takes place, which is, quite frankly, boring.
La Piscine is a sumptuous film to look at: the cinematography is impressive and the cast beautiful. Sadly, the storyline is thin – and stretched even thinner over the two hour running time. With little action, director Deray relies on his cast of characters to sustain the audience’s interest, but beneath the surface beauty they are pretty uninteresting, like La Piscine itself.

The purpose this paper is to examine the both Malcolm X and the Martin Luther King Jr. as well as it will analyze how did they displayed a more international perspective in their late periods that impacts contemporary religion and politics in American society. Also, their contributions and struggle to Civil Rights struggle of the 1950s and 1960s from the book.
Malcolm X is probably with Marcus Garvey and Martin Luther King, the black leader's most important contemporary history. Malcolm did not only have undeniable talent as an orator, but he also had a true vision of the world around him, plus he was never content with rhetoric, and always took action.
From the mid-1960s, however, there was the disintegration of the civil rights movement. Rising violence against civil rights movement was among the young radicals of the sympathy for leaders like Malcolm X, a prominent protagonist of the Black Muslim movement (Martin, 2004). In 1966, the swearing SNCC, under its new, controversial chairman Stokely Carmichael from the nonviolent resistance and seceded from the civil rights movement Kings. Instead, he called for Black Power. This split in the media criticized and controversial term on the civil rights movement. Thus, the NAACP and the NUL distanced SNCC and also to the King, as this is not their condemnation of Black Power taken over, but to understand the Black Power movement campaigned.
In its violent form, it is expressed as Black Power and Black Nationalism in the Black Panther Party from. This legitimized their militancy with the supposedly still-existing racial violence against blacks in the United States. In addition to their self-image as armed guards of the black population, it pursued a radical socialist program, which was directed against the social discrimination against Black (Martin, 2004). ...

The state now has its 106th justice on the Indiana Supreme Court.
Justice Steven H. David officially took his oath and donned his black robe for the state’s highest court today, culminating a process that began with a May announcement that Justice Theodore R. Boehm was stepping down from the bench. Gov. Mitch Daniels chose the 15-year Boone Circuit judge about a month ago.
“Governor Daniels, sir, what can I say to the person who picked me over so many qualified candidates to be number 106,” the new justice said this morning, moments after the governor administered the judicial oath and he put on the new robe for the first time and took a seat on the bench. “I haven’t got the tattoo yet but I intend to get one. It’ll go right over the gavel I have right now.”
Dozens packed the ornate third-floor courtroom inside the Statehouse for the ceremony, people from all ranks of the state and federal judiciary and other parts of the Indiana legal community. Among the dignitaries attending were former Justices Boehm and Myra Selby, who was the first and only female on that court during the 1990s before she returned to private practice.
As the ceremony began, the new justice’s portrait on the courtroom wall between Chief Justice Randall T. Shepard and Justice Robert D. Rucker was covered with a red curtain. After his robing and when Justice David actually joined the bench with his new colleagues, the curtain was removed to reveal his portrait.
When introducing those who’d speak about the new member, Chief Justice Shepard praised the merit-selection system that sets Indiana apart from many of its neighboring states that endure high-dollar and contentious judicial elections.
The governor pointed to the new justice’s extensive experience at the trial court level, corporate experience with Mayflower, private practice in Columbus, and his longtime service as a U.S. Army colonel and Judge Advocate General who’d represented detainees at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
Nashville attorney James Reichert, who served as vice president of legal for Mayflower back when Justice David worked there, talked about his friend and colleague’s passion for running and his love for family, the latter demonstrated by the justice’s kidney donation to his niece.
Once the court recessed briefly, the justices all returned with the newly sworn in Justice David. During his speech, the Justice David frequently cited a diverse roster of historical quotes and musical lyrics ranging from Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy, Oliver Wendell Holmes, John Mellencamp, Kenny Chesney, and other country-western singers that he noted were a favorite.
Wanting to be a lawyer since his childhood and a judge since the first day of law school, Justice David mentioned his judicial philosophy to those listening – including the governor, whom he apologized to for being “too late” following the interviews – and said it was humility, respect, fairness, and the rule of law. He also mentioned his love for family and juvenile cases and praised the civility and professionalism that the Supreme Court has demonstrated through the years.
“Every day I will do the best I can,” Justice David said, vowing to have respect for the executive and legislative branches and to always fight to protect the Indiana Constitution. “I have no agenda. I am not an ‘R’, I am not a ‘D’, I am not an ‘I’. I owe no one anything.”
One of his final notes during the ceremony was, “Life is a contact sport. You’ve got to play. You just can’t sit on the sidelines.”


Nigerian Songwriter, Performer, Afro-hip-hop pioneer, Jazzman Olofin drops a brand new song titled 'Friends'. The onetime X Appeal band member is doing this featuring a movie star — Gabriel Afolayan.
'Friends' is a hip-hop song seasoned and flavored with highlife. The feel-good-song dedicates lines and hooks to the themes of friendship, togetherness and peaceful coexistence.
Jazzman and Gabriel sing about being there to support each other during good or bad times, especially the need to lift each other's spirit up in low times.
Produced by Ex'o, Mixed and Mastered by MarqaiMixx, this is one song you want to listen to for the vibe and hip hop culture. Another proof that Jazzman Olofin, who has constantly done music, never left.
He's basically been going music at his own pace — for the culture of hip-hop. You will be shocked to know the number of songs you are yet to listen to from Jazzman.
His management, Jazzman Olofin Entertainment, will tell you that their talented artiste has been doing music all the while. And they have an achievement to show for it. Little wonder the musician is getting set to follow this recent release with an EP.
Not forgetting that his last song Sugarella, released in 2019, was slowed down by the 2020 pandemic. The Agege-born musician, whose real name is Olumuyiwa Olofinkuade Olajide, is now ready to push and promote his works.
Jazzman remains one of the brightest stars of the Kennis Music, Corporate Pictures, and Storm Records era. In the days and times of Ruggedman, Blackky, Julius Agwu, Sasha, Dare Art Alade, GT. Guitarman, Paul Play Dairo, Adewale Ayuba, Musiliu Haruna Ishola and many more. He's worked with all the aforementioned artists and more.
Ediale Kingsley, a filmmaker, and publicist have noted that Jazzman Olofin would do perfectly as a supervillain in Nollywood. He's got the hip-hop vibe, charisma and look. Something we see in King Of Boys' Reminisce and Illbliss as they both played and 'killed' their roles as gangsters.
Gabriel Afolayan is another talent with an already established foot in Nollywood. He has been consistent in his pursuit of relevance in the music industry as well. And we can't deny his effort and hard work.
Friends" is proudly distributed by TuneAfrique - A digital music distributor with a team of passionate and experienced Music enthusiasts. Wherever the next innovation in online music distribution is, we'll find it and make it easier for your to get your music out there, heard and sold as soon as possible.
'Friends' is a banger. Let's enjoy.

This book is quite different from his other ones in that all the action is from the perspective of a few common Germans who bear a dark secret at the heart of the Reich - they are Jews in a world gone crazy, that pass off as the chosen by a falsification of records. Their covert actions as enemies of the Nazi State are fraught with danger, yet they must serve it in order to survive. This creates a dramatic tension that carries the story along well. In most of Turtledove's books, a lot of characters seem cut from the same cloth - things aren't very different here, but the tension is more palpable - common themes like near-adultery play out against a backdrop of a subtly changing world - tilting towards perestroika-like change, based on, of all things, doctrinal differences between the first and subsequent editions of Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf.
In this world that might-have-been, sly digs are taken at the 'real' world - the German Fuhrer at the beginning of the book is named Kurt Haldweim, an unsubtle dig at Kurt Waldheim, Secretary-General of the UN in the 1970s and President of Austria in 1986, who faced allegations of war-crimes post his service in the SA
Long scenes are set in the context of bridge games featuring a foursome that comprises two husband-wife pairs - each very different, and significant in the story. The daughter of the main protagonist shows how difficult it is to dissemble your true identity in the face of your enemies, and still live a seemingly normal life, much as many Jews did in the Germany that was for real.
Things change, in the book, and the changes are good, yet as the main protagonist says at one point, in what is probably the thesis of Harry Turtledove's alternate history books,
"For us, how could what might have been be worse than what really was?
It is hard to compare this book with the other, more mainstream alternate history event of the year - Philip Roth's "The Plot Against America". For one, Harry Turtledove describes a world that never was, and yet the horrors described did happen indeed. For another, America features only tangentially in this book, mostly in attempts to under-pay levies due to the Germanic Empire.
The fundamental question of whether the world we live in is Panglossian or what might-have-been might be better than what is cannot be answered by us, save through fantasy. Perhaps, that is for the best, after all.
