For thousands of years, when we looked up at the night sky, we saw a static background of stars, against which the planets moved.
Through time lapse we have found a way to defeat time, and look back at actual changes.
Likewise, projected computer modelling can even give us a limited view of the future!
Unusually spherical shape for a supernova expansion, though that could change over the coming decades and centuries. For now, it looks more like the Ring Nebula in Lyra (the expanding shell of a dying star that didn't undergo a supernova) than the famous Crab Nebula supernova remnant in the horns of Taurus. Generally, as supernova remnants expand, they become less ring-like and more ragged in appearance. | {

George Honeyman says he's raring to go at Sunderland after returning to training.
The Black Cats skipper has been missing since before Christmas, but is back in contention for Saturday's League One clash against AFC Wimbledon.
And after Sunderland slipped to fifth in the table because of their blank weekend, Honeyman wants the team to 'kick on' now and start putting pressure on the sides above them.
Their form over January has been mixed, with three draws in a row seeing them lose a bit of ground though Jack Ross' side have two games in hand over leaders Luton Town, who are six points better off than them.
"I returned to training on Monday and I couldn't be happier, as it's been frustrating watching from the sidelines and I feel like I've missed a lot of games," Honeyman told the club's website.
"Credit to the boys, though, they've held it down and kept pace with the teams at the top during a busy period, and we're ready to kick on.
"We had a little break last weekend, which is something you don't often get, and it'll serve us well because the games are coming thick and fast.
"Everyone is refreshed, and I imagine the fans are as well, so we can't wait to get back to the Stadium of Light this weekend and pick up three points.
Honeyman has missed eight games through injury, six in the league and two Checkatrade Trophy ties. | {

Belem Tower: Frequently Asked Questions
by Emily Mudge
Belem Tower, also called Torre de Belem, is one of the most recognizable historical sites in Lisbon. Portuguese explorers sailed past the this fortress on their way in and out of the city. Today, the site attracts over 500,000 visitors each year. If you're planning on becoming one of those visitors, there are a few things you might want to know.
Why is the Belem Tower important?
The Torre de Belem was constructed in the 16th century to serve as a fortress protecting the city of Lisbon. The Tower sits in the middle of the Tagus River, and guards the entrance to the Lisbon Harbor. Many explorers, including Vasco de Gama and Ferdinand Magellan, set sail from Lisbon Harbor and passed by this magnificent tower.
How old is the Belem Tower?
Belem Tower was built between 1514 and 1520, making it about 500 years old.
How big is the Belem Tower?
The tower is about four storeys tall, making it a little over 98 feet. The first floor contains the Governor's Hall. A spiral staircase leads to the second floor, which is home to the Hall of Kings and an overlook to the Tagus River. The third floor houses the Audience Hall, and the fourth floor, while unnamed, features stunning vaulted ceilings.
What is the Belem Tower made of?
Belem Tower is constructed from a type of limestone called lioz. It was designed in the Portuguese Manueline style, though there are many architectural elements drawing from other styles.
Was Belem Tower on Game of Thrones?
While the style of the tower certainly makes it seem like it could be featured on the hit HBO series, Belem Tower was not used as a filming location for Game of Thrones.
What time does Belem Tower open?
The Torre de Belem opens at 10:00am. It is open until 5:30pm from October to May, and is open until 6:30pm the rest of the year. The tower is not open on Mondays, or on select holidays. Check the official website for more details.
Do I need tickets to see the Belem Tower?
Yes, you will need tickets, which can be bought onsite. A standard ticket costs 6 Euros, though discounts are offered for seniors, families, children, and students. You can also buy a combination ticket that includes access to the Jeronimos Monastery and the National Archeological Museum for 12 Euros. The Belem Tower offers free admission on Sundays before 2pm.
Can I skip the line at Belem Tower?
Depending on when you visit the tower, there may be an admission line you have to wait in. However, some tours allow you to skip the line.
Can I visit the Belem Tower at night?
The outside of the Torre de Belem looks spectacular lit up at night. A walk along the banks of the Tagus River will allow you to see the stunning view. However, it is not possible to tour the interior of the tower after closing hours.
How do I get to Belem Tower?
The Belem district is located about four miles outside Lisbon's city center. From Downtown Lisbon, you can take either Tram 15 or Tram 127, and get off just past Jeronimos Monastery. From there, it's an easy walk to the tower.
Is Belem Tower easily accessible?
The exterior and first level of the tower are easily accessible. However, the higher levels of the tower are only accessible via a narrow spiral staircase. Those with mobility issues may have trouble touring the higher levels.

What to do after Belem Tower?
While you're in Belem, you'll want to check out the other nearby monuments celebrating Portugal's Age of Discovery. The Discoveries Monument celebrates some of Portugal's most famous explorers. This monument is easily accessible, and a lift can take you to the top for 2 Euros.
Across the street from Belem Tower and the Discoveries Monument, you'll want to stop by Jeronimos Monastery. This former monastery of the Order of St. Jerome is now the final resting place of Vasco de Gama, one of Portugal's most famous explorers. It's also where Lisbon's famous Pasteis de Belem originated, and you can still try some from the monastery's bakery.
After the Jeronimos Monastery, check out the National Archeological Museum next door. This museum is home to some of the most fascinating archeological finds from the Iberian Peninsula.

Last night's #storyappchat was full of tips on how to find music for your storybook app–attendees shared their favorite resources and everyone seemed to agree that music should not be added to any app unless the ability to adjust volume and mute tunes and sound effects is provided. After all, nobody wants music to interfere with the story, right?
Details provided in the transcript above for those of you who weren't able to join us. PLEASE NOTE: we'll be taking next Sunday off due to the Academy Awards, but will be back in full force on March 3, when we'll talk about taking advantage of social media beyond Facebook and Twitter. Make plans to pop in, and in the meantime, enjoy the break!
Guest Host for 12/4/11 #storyappchat: uTales!
We're very excited to have @uTales joining us for this Sunday's #storyappchat as guest host. uTales is a picture book storefront that has over 150 stories, accessible either by web or mobile device app (iPhone, iPad and soon for Android). Register for a free account to preview the books, and find out more about creating your own stories for the uTales platform. The site provides tools for creating books with sound, animation and interactivity, and shares 60% of the earnings with the content creators.
Parents who want to share the books with their kids pay either a $9.99 monthly fee for unlimited access, or pay per book fees, usually between 3 and 5 bucks each.
uTales has a blog and a FAQ page to handle common questions, and they have a Facebook community page for authors/illustrators. Gather any additional questions you might have and join us for #storyappchat THIS Sunday (Dec. 4) at 9:00 p.m. EST. We look forward to seeing you there!
The topic for the 10/30/11 pre-Halloween installment of #storyappchat focused on Amazon's not-yet-released Kindle Fire tablet, and the speculation, questions and wish list items flew by fast and furiously! See what you missed by checking out the transcript above, and plan to join us each and every Sunday night at 9:00 p.m. Eastern to chat about storybook apps and ebooks for kids!
Transcript for the 9/11/11 #storyappchat: Sound!
Great chat last night–in which we discussed the pros and cons of using audio in storybook apps–specifically three main categories: background music, sound effects and voiceover narration. Thanks to all who stopped by to share opinions, links and information.
Also a big thank-you goes to Piccolo Picture Books, who gave away FOUR promo codes for stories within their app. If you missed the chat, feel free to peruse the transcript above–and make plans to join us next Sunday night at 9:00 p.m. Eastern for the next one! | {

The Perks of Overpricing
"Most people think overvaluation does damage to the economy by creating bubbles and crashes," says Ming Dong, a finance professor at Toronto's York University, who wrote the working paper with University of California, Irvine professors David Hirshleifer and Siew Hong Teoh. "We show a bright side of overvaluation," says Dong. [Subscription required, you can request an electronic copy of the article by sending an email to [email protected].]

Neural networks for neutrinos
"All these big physics experiments are really very similar at the machine learning level," says Pierre Baldi, a computer scientist at the University of California, Irvine. "It's all images associated with these complex, very expensive detectors, and deep learning is the best method for extracting signal against some background noise."

Save the Seaweed
[Nyssa] Silbiger, a postdoc at UC Irvine when she began the study, had received a tip that GoWesty, a Southern California–based camper van supplier, sometimes loaned vans out to traveling musicians. She joined forces with Piper Wallingford, a UC Irvine PhD student who was studying how climate change was affecting predator-prey interactions, and drafted a letter. "We just wrote to them out of the blue," Silbiger says. "We said, 'We're women in the sciences, studying climate change.' And they donated a camper to us for two months to complete our research."
Orange County Register, Jan. 23, 2018
Irvine is ranked the Number 1 city in the nation for good fiscal health, report says
Mark Petracca, political science professor at UC Irvine, is skeptical of the whole exercise. "Our inclination is to view a 'deficit' as a bad … and a 'surplus' as good," Petracca said. "But why should any city have a surplus, beyond what might be appropriate and necessary as part of a 'rainy day' fund? So, some residents in Irvine, Stockton, and Fresno might appropriately want to know … when they'll be receiving their municipal refund check."

This New Magazine Is Giving a Voice to Creators of Color
When [Micah] Pegues returned to her freshman year of school after the break, she began reaching out widely to potential collaborators, and received an enthusiastic response. A cohort of friends and fellow college students across the United States soon emerged: Celeste Scott … and Theresa Tran at University of California, Irvine (who now works at digital media company Girlgaze). | {

At approximately 6:30 p.m. last Friday, a .357 Magnum was found in the middle of South Little Horn Avenue near the entrance of the K-8 parking lot.
The weapon had apparently fallen, breaking apart the wooden grips, before coming to rest, still in the leather holster.
The revolver was fully loaded with the alternative .38 special "light load".
The Moorcroft Elementary School does not entertain any formal gun safety classes within their curriculum, said Principal Teresa Brown. | {

Swimming Hole —también conocido como The Swimming Hole, Swimming o The Old Swimming Hole— es una obra pictórica del pintor estadounidense Thomas Eakins, realizada entre 1884 y 1885. Realizada en óleo sobre lienzo, representa a seis hombres jóvenes nadando desnudos en un lago, siendo considerada una obra maestra de la pintura estadounidense. Actualmente pertenece a la colección del Museo Amon Carter en la ciudad de Fort Worth, Texas.
Según la historiadora del arte Doreen Bolger «[es] quizás la versión más lograda de un desnudo realizado por Eakins», y ha sido considerada como una de «las obras más elegantes de todas sus pinturas al aire libre».
Desde la época del Renacimiento el cuerpo humano ha sido considerado en el arte occidental como la base formativa de artistas y uno de los elementos más difíciles de representar en el arte. En este contexto, el desnudo fue el eje central del programa de formación de Eakins en la Academia de Bellas Artes de Pennsylvania. Para Eakins, este trabajo fue la oportunidad de mostrar su maestría en la representación de la figura humana.
En esta pintura, Eakins saca provecho de una excepción en la actitud victoriana generalmente mojigata hacia la desnudez: el nado desnudo era ampliamente aceptado, siendo normal en el caso de los hombres, aún en espacios públicos. Eakins fue el primer artista estadounidense en representar una de las escasas ocasiones de la vida del siglo XIX en que la desnudez era vista sin recelo. Swimming Hole desarrolla temas de sus obras más tempranas, en particular su tratamiento de las nalgas y su tratamiento ambiguo de la forma humana; en algunos casos llegando a ser incierto si las formas representadas son hombres o mujeres. Tales temas habían sido examinados en Gross Clinic (1875) y William Rush (1877), y continuarían siendo explorados en sus pinturas de boxeadores (Taking the Count, Salutat y Between Rounds) y luchadores (Wrestlers).
Aunque el tema de bañistas varones fue familiar en el arte occidental, habiendo sido explorado por artistas de Miguel Ángel a Daumier, el tratamiento de Eakins fue novedoso en el arte norteamericano del momento. Swimming Hole ha sido "citado con frecuencia como uno de los mejores ejemplos de homoerotismo en el arte estadounidense".

Rummell, Richard "The Mercersburg Academy." [Mercersburg, PA].
Richard Rummell "The Mercersburg Academy." [Mercersburg, PA].
Originally published in New York by Adams & Grace Co., ca. 1907. Mid-twentieth century restrike from original plate issued by Paul Victorius. 12 3/8 x 26 3/4 (image). Photogravure. Hand color. Very good condition.
At the turn of the century, a small New York art publisher, Littig & Company commissioned various artists to create a series of watercolor paintings of some of the nation's most prestigious colleges and schools. From these water colors, engravings in photogravure were made on copper plates and distributed, in limited number, to the various schools and to a few art dealers throughout the country. Many may still be seen in the Administration building and in the offices of the Deans in many of the region's finest schools. These prints differs widely from other college prints in their panoramic quality: indeed, in many cases, they offer the only panoramic views available today. Each artist visited a campus and conferred with the Administration about future buildings authorized for the school. He would then draw these projected buildings into the campus scene, which was projected from an apparent altitude of about 300 feet. In some cases, this gives the viewer the impression that the scene was painted perhaps ten years later. On a few occasions, building plans were subsequently altered which resulted in an inaccurate depiction of the school. Many find these minor alterations historically interesting and amusing. In the mid-twentieth century Virginia print dealer and publisher, Paul Victorius, acquired the original plates and issued his own series of these prints. These prints can be identified by the heavy white and textured paper he used.

There is high temperature inside our planet and the reason is not known yet. A common belief that the Earth`s interior is heated by radioactive elements is now doubted of. Professor Felix Letnikov from Irkutsk Institute of the Earth`s Crust have proposed an idea that the heat is formed in the outer core because of friction between its layers.
Different geophysical data confirm that there is a heat source inside the Earth. In the mantle there are zones with low viscosity, which correspond to molten substance. However, melting rocks requires a lot of energy - so, the question about a source of the energy arises. According to current information, the core consists of two parts: a liquid outer part and a solid inner part. The outer core begins at the depth of 2900 km and is 2346 km thick; it holds 31% of the Earth`s mass. It is pressed between the inner core and the mantle, and because of the Earth`s axial rotation there is friction and heat formation between these two matters. Still, that is not the main heat source. In the outer core at different depths there are different temperature, pressure, viscosity and density, and this results in stratification. Try to spin a tin with condensed milk stored for some time on a shelf. Inside the milk, layers will rub against each other and the tin`s sides. And the fact that friction causes heat is well-known.
According to Letnikov`s theory, heat explosions happen because sometimes heat does not go away to the mantle. In such situation the core contents is of a big role. It includes iron with some nickel and many gases - hydrogen, sulphur and carbon. When explosion happens, a part of the gases mixture detaches and flows away into the mantle. This process is thought to be the cause of most of the abyssal processes.
For millions of years gas streams travel through the mantle to the crust. It takes a lot of energy from the stream and some of them never reach the surface. However, those who succeeded in getting outside cause different troubles, like eruptions, lava flows and earthquakes. Moreover, the stream`s heat loss may be recovered by chemical reactions: the stream contains much hydrogen and 80% of the mantle volume is taken by oxygen. The result of the reaction is water and heat. In addition, such streams carry many rare elements, therefore, producing large areas of minerals.
Until the Earth has the liquid core, the heat flow is guaranteed, but geologists say that, with time, abyssal processes are gradually dying down. | {

Galloway MSP Alex Fergusson has strongly backed a joint report by the Scottish Campaign for National Parks and the Association for Protection of Rural Scotland which calls for the creation of more National Parks in areas such as Galloway.
Following publication of the report Mr Fergusson said: "The most important fact to emerge from the research that was undertaken by these two organisations is that National Parks are a cost effective way of "providing a major economic boost to a number of fragile areas in Scotland". Furthermore, as experience from other countries such as New Zealand and Norway show, National Parks stem rural depopulation, provide a range of job opportunities and help to generate millions of pounds of extra revenue annually from tourism and other rural industries".
"As I have argued for years, a Galloway National Park would be a win-win situation for our Region. This call, from two highly respected charities, should be taken seriously by all levels of Government. For years we have searched for a reason for North Bound traffic to 'turn left at Gretna' – I can think of nothing that would do that more effectively than the creation of a Galloway National Park". | {

Q: Return HTML Response and Add Cookie - Cloudflare Worker I am attempting to return a response header of 'Set-Cookie', while also return a new HTML response by editing CSS. In other words, I am seeking a way to perform both of these actions in one instance (or merge my two IF statements into one):
const country = request.cf.country
let cookies = request.headers.get('Cookie') || ""
const url = new URL(request.url)
let response = await fetch(request);
response = new Response(response.body, response);
if (country != 'US' && country !='CA') {
response.headers.set('Set-Cookie', "new-int-pricing-mode=on;max-age=604800;Path=/");
return response;
}
if (country != 'US' && country !='CA')
{const response = await fetch(request)
var html = await response.text()
// Inject scripts
const customScripts = '<style type="text/css">STYLING HERE</style></body>'
html = html.replace( /<\/body>/ , customScripts)
// return modified response
return new Response(html, response)
}
Because I am returning a new Response in one, and only "response" in another - so far all of my "merge" techniques are failing. Is this possible?
I have managed to 99% merge through the use of the cookies. But on first page load, the styling will not take effect (due to the need to apply the cookie)
if ((country != 'US' && country !='CA') && !(cookies.includes("pricing-mode=on"))) {
response.headers.set('Set-Cookie', "pricing-mode=on;max-age=604800;Path=/");
return response;
}
else if ((country != 'US' && country !='CA') && (cookies.includes("pricing-mode=on"))) {
const response = await fetch(request)
var html = await response.text()
// Inject scripts
const customScripts = '<style type="text/css">STYLE HERE</style></body>'
html = html.replace( /<\/body>/ , customScripts)
// return modified response
return new Response(html, response)
}
A: You can create a new response object.
https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/examples/modify-response/
const originalResponse = await fetch(request);
// Change status and statusText, but preserve body and headers
let response = new Response(originalResponse.body, {
status: 500,
statusText: 'some message',
headers: originalResponse.headers,
});
You can add headers to this response using
response.headers.set('Set-Cookie', "pricing-mode=on;max-age=604800;Path=/");

Antagonists to the Church of Scientology are declared by the church to be "antisocial personalities", Potential Trouble Sources (PTS), or Suppressive Persons (SPs). The Church of Scientology teaches that association with such persons impedes one's progress along the Bridge to Total Freedom.
A Scientologist can become PTS by reason of being connected to someone that is antagonistic to Scientology or its tenets. In order to resolve the PTS condition, he either HANDLES the other person's antagonism (as covered in the materials on PTS handling) or, as a last resort when all attempts to handle have failed, he disconnects from the person. He is simply exercising his right to communicate or not to communicate with a particular person.
To fail or refuse to disconnect from a suppressive person not only denies the PTS case gain, it is also supportive of the suppressive—in itself a Suppressive Act. And it must be so labeled.
I am hereby disconnecting from you because you are suppressive to me. You evaluate for me, invalidate me, interrupt me and remove all my gains. And you are destroying me.
"I [unreadable] from this time consider myself disconnected from you and I do not want to see you or hear from you again. From now you don't exist in my life.
Another investigation by the Daily Mail, in 1984, brought up other claims of disconnection.
Also in 1984, the Mail on Sunday (a UK national paper) quoted Gulliver Smithers, a former Scientologist who had left the group's base at Saint Hill Manor, East Grinstead at age 14.

The European startups in Y Combinator's W23 cohort
by Kai Nicol-Schwarz
Seventy-nine European founders are part of the famed US startup accelerator Y Combinator's winter cohort this year — compared to 85 in last year's summer cohort and 72 in the 2022 winter cohort — making up about 13% of the roughly 600 entrepreneurs taking part.
Startup accelerators have fast become something of a right of passage among founders, and in the past few years more than 400 have emerged in Europe alone. Data platform Beauhurst found that 57% of UK unicorns had taken part in one before they hit their $1bn valuation.
Despite all the competition, 18-year-old Y Combinator is still one of the most respected among the global startup and investor community, and in a recent Sifted survey of 20 top-tier European VCs, it was rated as one of the few actually worth taking part in.
The accelerator takes on two cohorts each year, and has been accepting more European founders since it doubled its intake from the region when it went online during the pandemic in 2020.
Although Y Combinator has since shifted back to in-person and encourages founders to travel to San Francisco for the programme, it now says it's "remote-friendly" and participants can get involved from anywhere in the world.
It also changed its terms last year, as the accelerator announced it would be investing $500k into participating startups — up from $125k — which could potentially give it a larger stake in the companies it backs.
While the programme's demo day isn't until early April, nine Europe-based startups have so far announced themselves publicly as part of the winter cohort 2023. More will be announced in the coming weeks and months, and we'll update this list when they are.
Defer: Paris-based startup helping developers build apps with "async-based features" — developer speak for saying the app can run several tasks at the same time — without all the laborious work it usually entails.
Gluetrail: This French no-code automation platform allows businesses to aggregate data from multiple sources and create actions like Slack or email alerts. The programme can be used for things like qualifying sales leads and business forecasting.
Depot: A London-based startup building a tool for developers that runs Docker container builders on the cloud — Docker containers hold everything a software needs to work, like code, libraries and system tools.
Versori: A no-code startup from Manchester that helps businesses manage their data. It allows people of any technical ability to do tasks like data migration and integration — meaning companies can avoid turning to sometimes pricey software developers.
Trigger.dev: London-based startup helping developers automate their workflows.
Ivy: London startup Ivy allows developers to run and manage code that would usually only work on separate frameworks in one place.
Sanvivo: Based in Munich, Sanvivo is a marketplace for pharmacies to sell medication online.
Quazel: This Swiss startup is an app that helps people learn languages. Users can practice conversational skills in a new language by talking to the startup's AI-driven conversation partner.
GoodCourse: The London-based startup is a platform that allows businesses to deliver training in short, TikTok-style videos.

For some reason, I haven't told a single person about you. I'm sure it's a little bit due to embarrassment on my part, but I also think that you blew me away so much that day that I've simply wanted to keep you tucked close inside for myself. You've just felt too special to share.
Until today, that is, when you woke me up at 0400.
Honestly, you've been coming to my mind more and more often over these last few weeks, but it was this morning's mind-racing hours of flailing around in the darkness that finally convinced me that it was time for me to actually speak.
That's how this whole writing thing happens for me, if you're curious at all about how "Growing Nurse Debi" works. There just comes a time when I absolutely can't not speak. And God very clearly lets me know, just as he did today.
So, anyways … I don't remember exactly what day it was that you and I met, but I know it was during those frenzied weeks before Christmas. You were just standing there looking at Christmas cards. We both were, actually.
You were giving off a distinct aura of tense busyness. You didn't look at me or even acknowledge that I was next to you. You were just intently pulling out card after card, reading them and quickly either putting them back, or into your cart with the others.
Meanwhile, there I was next to you, just blankly staring at the selection.
It's funny because I only needed one card that day – just one card, for one very special person – but without even picking a single one to read, I knew that none of these would do.
There were just too many smiling Santa's and festive glitter explosions shining back at me. There was no way I could even pick one of these up – all those jollies just felt so nauseatingly garish in that very moment.
I just kept staring at them. And as I stood there, all I could think was how do you even buy a Christmas card for someone who's experienced such horrors upon horrors?
Seriously. How do you do this?
I know I've shared many times about what our family has been dealing with over this past year. (Click here if you want to catch up). We're still struggling through those ripple effects, and the pain and memories of all of it just chose that moment to start bubbling up on me.
Standing quietly next to you.
Then, before I knew it, I felt the tears burning at the backs of my eyes.
Plus it's also directly proportional to how absolutely awful I happen to feel that day. And that day was definitely not good. It had taken me hours to just gear up the strength to get ready to make that "very quick" Target trip for that one card. And now my little burst of energy was completely gone, and I still had nothing to show for it.
Except that I was now very randomly crying in Target.
But you … my unsuspecting card-buying neighbor … you didn't know all this about me. All the trauma of the last few months was silently rolling down my cheeks, and you were just next to me, busily picking out your cards.
I could've just tucked my head and quickly darted for the door at that point, but something made me stay there. Something made me finally ask you directly, just how in the world any of these cards could ever possibly work?
You turned and looked at me for the first time. You saw my tears and instantly dropped everything from your hands into your cart.
Instead of running away from this overly-emotional crazy woman like you could've done, you just reached out and wordlessly drew me into the most amazing hug. It was a tight one, too. Right there in the middle of Target. On the Christmas card aisle.
Before I knew it, I had told you pretty much everything that had happened lately.
You just kept hugging me.
I was apologizing profusely for my depressing invasion on your happy Christmas.
You still just kept hugging me.
I told you how I wanted to find a card, but would have to come back another day because now I was just too tired and weak. I needed to get home to rest.
It was at that point, you finally let me go.
Then you reached out pretty much right in front of where I'd been staring all that time (duh), and you handed me the most beautifully-peaceful Christmas card. It was exactly what I had been looking for.
You had read it earlier, but had put it back. And somehow, even with all I'd just boggled your mind by telling you, you still remembered exactly where it was for me. Amazing.
Honestly, sitting here today, I don't even really remember what you look like – other than you're a blondie like me. But I do remember how much you helped me that day.
I also remember feeling totally embarrassed as I walked to my car that day. I vowed to never tell anyone about this. And I was seriously kicking myself for being so weak and crashing your happy, busy day with all my heaviness.
But, like I said earlier, God has different ideas about what I share and what I keep to myself. He also has his ways of making me see things differently as I process them through his eyes.
So even though I'm still just a little embarrassed by what I dumped on poor you that day, I'm also thinking that we could probably all use a little bit more of this happening in our lives, couldn't we?
To have someone who is honestly experiencing something real and raw come crashing through our personal clouds of chaos?
To remind us that this is not all there is?
That other people are hurting?
That we need to stop what we're doing and notice?
Even just a wordless hug?
That it will actually help us to help them?
That God particularly sends people into our paths just for this purpose?
So we can take care of each other?
To be his hands and feet on this earth?
And that He's perfectly equipped us to perfectly handle this?
There are no accidents, my friends. No chance encounters. Not a single thing is "random". Every moment of our days has been previously ordained to coincide with a particular task God has just for us.
Once our eyes become opened to this, we can't help but see His handiwork in absolutely everything. Even in who stands next to you while you're shopping for a Christmas card at your local Target. Praise be.

Latrobe Valley community halls and recreation reserves are getting free solar systems thanks to a Victorian government scheme for public buildings.
Energy and environment minister Lily D'Ambrosio was in Moe last week to unveil a list of 30 Latrobe Valley public buildings in line for free panels, solar hot water and solar lighting by June next year.
The Toongabbie Mechanics Institute and recreation reserve were some of the local buildings listed in the roll-out.
Toongabbie Mechanics Institute treasurer Roger Ries said he expected the new solar set-up to slash electricity bills which were putting upward pressure on the rates for hall hire.
He said they had already installed some solar panels at the recreation reserve and reaped the benefits at the hip-pocket, as bills dropped from $700 to $200 over the past summer.
"It's made amazing reductions. It's cheaper for the recreation reserve users and it will make it cheaper for the hall here," Mr Ries said.
He said the 1883 heritage-listed building was used for regular community group meetings as well as birthdays, weddings and other functions.
Mr Ries said the council was going to pull down the mechanics institute in the 1970s due to its poor condition but the community rallied to save it.
It has since had almost $300,000 spent on a revamp of the interior and exterior.
More than 1000 homes and people on low incomes are also eligible for solar systems as part of the $5 million Latrobe Valley Home Energy Upgrade Program.
There have already been more than 800 expressions of interest for the program in which residents and landlords can access up to $4500 worth of solar packages at no cost.
Local businesses Gippsland Solar, Sunny Afternoons and Rocky's Electrical have been engaged for both programs which will create 10 full-time jobs.
Ms D'Ambrosio said the energy upgrades would make a difference to the lives of 1000 vulnerable Gippslanders.
"The energy upgrades and solar installations will not only help bring down energy prices for the Latrobe Valley, they will create local jobs in the renewable energy sector," Ms D'Ambrosio said. | {

Michael W. Smith To Release His First Children's Album & Book
Written by Herb Longs
Michael W. Smith,
Multi-Platinum, three-time Grammy Award winning artist, best-selling author and acclaimed actor Michael W. Smith launches Nurturing Steps, a new infant and toddler series with a simple mission to provide parents and grandparents with music and books to enliven a young child's journey with hope and faith through song and storytelling.
The first new album, Lullaby, and book, Nighty Night and Good Night, from Nurturing Steps release May 4 and May 8 through The Fuel Music and Zonderkidz respectfully. These projects also mark the first-ever children's album and book by Michael, each crafted in collaboration with renowned VeggieTales co-creator Mike Nawrocki. The book is available now to preorder through NurturingSteps.com or favorite online retailers.
"One of the greatest joys of my life is being a parent and a grandparent," says Michael, the father of five, who is called "G-Daddy" by his 14 grandkids. "I want to serve the next generation well. That's why I created Nurturing Steps, to provide stories and songs that will help shape the faith of our newest generation."
For Lullaby, Michael meaningfully arranges his worldwide hits like "Agnus Dei" and "Friends" along with new ballads "No More Crying," "Sleep Tight" and more, and leads an audio bedtime drama for young children with the Nighty Night characters. The Nighty Nights also join Michael as his band with Bear on Guitar, Lamby on Keys and Sleepy Puppy on Upright Base.
In Nighty Night and Good Night, members of the Nighty Night band are further called upon to help their friend, Ben, as he tries to fall asleep. After bedtime prayers and some going-to-sleep rituals are done, a lullaby sung by the band of animals including Bear, Sleepy Puppy and Lamby finally does the trick.
"I have wonderful memories of reading, singing and praying with my children before bed," says Nawrocki. "It can be a sacred time with our little ones, and I'm thrilled to be able to partner with Michael to create stories that parents and grandparents can use to help pass important values on to their children and grandchildren."
Known as one of the most influential Christian music artists in the world, Michael recently performed "A Million Lights" and "Surrounded (Fight My Battles)" from his 5-star-aclaimed albums A Million Lights and Surrounded respectively on ABC-TV's Good Morning America. He has also recently been featured by USA Today, Billboard, TBN, FOX News, CBN, Parade, Yahoo! Music and many more outlets as these albums became his 30th and 31st Top 10 hits on Billboard's Top Christian Albums chart, more than any other solo artist in history.
Taking the new music and fan favorites from his extensive repertoire on the road internationally, Michael begins his "Israel Tour 2018" next week before continuing his "Sounded By A Million Lights World Tour" that is traversing the eastern half of the US this spring prior to wrapping up May 13 in Joplin, MO. Already seeing packed venues, this full-production tour is being presented by Compassion International and features special guest Nathan Tasker.
Even in the midst of his busy schedule, Michael makes time for his children and grandchildren and treasures the special moments he has to speak into their lives.
"I hope they see these books and this music as a gift to them, to remember that they are loved as they fall asleep every night," says Michael.
Following the release of Lullaby and Nighty Night and Good Night, additional Nurturing Steps titles releasing this fall will be announced.

First of all I'm very happy with the product and have been for quite a while. I was wondering if any support for 2FA will be added in the near future? Specifically yubikey as an extra layer on top of your masterpassword.
4 people like this idea
Thank you for the feedback Pamalam. I never thought of using the Apple Watch for some type of MFA, so we'll have to look into whether that would work or not. For some, if it's possible, that my be all they would want for extra security. Regarding push and sms methods, we plan on using Authy since it is more flexible and easier to manage for the user. The Google authenticator makes it difficult to move to other devices and nearly impossible, if not actually impossible, to restore or sync MFA keys. For some, that's a good representation of security, but for most it goes too far and is difficult to use.
Long time user first time "caller".... I too would like to add a YubiKey to my security suite. I haven't updated my desktop copies of MSecure because entering a long password every time I want to use it on my desktop is a pain. Instead I've begun allowing Apple Keychain to manage some passwords, and this has left me with a weaker security arrangement. While I trust the iPhone and iPad's security, I think the requirement of a non-digital act, i.e., touching the Yubikey to the phone or tapping its sensor should present a serious deterrent to remote mischief by hackers. It's at least marginally less hassle than receiving a text or some other phone-based method, and more secure as well. I urge you to implement it in a comprehensive way.
- If you think that users might find YubiKey or any type of MFA/2FA, annoying if implemented as a global requirement in order to access any password in MSecure, then perhaps being able to turn it on an off for each password would be sensible.
- such a system would allow users to switch on YubiKey for banking, work, stock accounts, and wallet apps and not have it active for less consequential passwords.
Finally, I think that secure Password protection is an essential element for users these days, but it is still not anywhere near universal among us. I hope, since you hinted at changing your pricing structure that you will not go to a subscription system, but instead remain a one time purchase product, or perhaps offer a choice of payment methods and remain competitively priced.
Thank you very much for your feedback Jonathan. We do have 2FA support on our radar, and we plan to implement it in future releases of v6. It won't be implemented for 6.0, but we plan for it to be a significant feature to be added in a 6.x release.
This is a game changer for me, no 2FA with Yubi and its 7/22/21? I bought the iphone and mac versions (very pricy btw) many years ago, use the apps everyday but now I'm divorcing you for another more secure solution.
I will use and buy mSecure, but without 2FA support the App is useless, please implement this as soon as possible else nobody want / can't use mSecure as Passwort Mananer in 2021.
I have an eye on mSecure, and waiting for 2FA.
Thank you for your feedback @Philipp. We do have this on our radar to be implemented in mSecure 6. It won't be available in the first release, but it will be added as soon as possible to a following v6 release. It's one of the priority features on our list.
I would like to throw my hat in the ring for the addition of yubikey or other hardware key support. I am very interested in purchasing such a key, but have held off because it wouldn't make sense if the key didn't integrate with mSecure. Love your product, but this request has been out there for quite a while and it's a little frustrating that it hasn't happened yet.
I agree the string goes back 2plus years. It should not take this long to get this into a development cycle especially given the increasing cyber security risks this needs to be treated with some sense of urgency.

+1 for yubikey support

said 10 months ago
I'm also a long-time user and had a good look around prior to upgrading my membership to the new subscription model. Having read this thread, i was expecting to see MFA integration baked in so that i could make use of my MS MFA instance, or use my Yubi, Duo, etc. But it doesn't appear to be anywhere? I thought the intention was that MFA would be "at the forefront" of v6?
Frankly, if we are to buy in to the message that the subscription model ensures the product remains actively developed, patched, secure, etc.; why does it seem that knowledge of 2FA/MFA appears to be lacking (from the comments on this thread), which likely explains the long development time to implement this feature. Could someone let me know if i'm ranting for no reason because i've missed a setting, or tell me whether MFA is on the current sprint /cycle? If not, regrettably i don't think i will be able to keep the subscription going and can't seriously consider deploying wider across the organisation.
@Jaysan Yubikey support is on our product roadmap, but it was never scheduled to be supported in the first release of v6: https://www.msecure.com/roadmap-of-upcoming-features-in-msecure/
It's difficult for me to respond to your other comments, because I'm obviously biased towards our company. We are moving to a much smaller release window now that we have moved to our current model, but we obviously have no track record yet to point to, since v6 is so new. Hopefully that makes sense, and if you have any other questions, please do let me know.

Just wanted to add more impetus to this. Can't come soon enough, IMO.
I wanted to give you all an update on plans for 2FA/MFA and Yubikey support. While we have got a lot of good feedback from many customers, we're still looking to get more as we continue to look into implementing this feature. And unfortunately, we have run into a snag as we began the development. I can't get into details, but Yubikey support for Mac is very tricky. Support for iOS seems very straight-forward, but that's the platform that almost always has added security via Face/Touch ID, so it's not where this feature is needed most. However, we're still working on the feature, and we're hoping to get some more specific feedback from our customers on how our customers would like to use it.
First, we need to go over platform support. iOS support looks pretty straight-forward, but as mentioned above, Mac support is tricky. Windows and Android support is in the mix as well, but we have only begun the process of researching for iOS and Mac at this point. If Yubikey support were only available for iOS, would it be worth it? I know @Rob would use it for iOS, but if I'm understanding the feedback thus far, Face and Touch ID support make the iOS mSecure app more than safe enough. Any other thoughts for only having iOS support?
Second, we have three different ways in which MFA can be applied:
When signing in to your account either on a new device or after reinstalling/resetting the mSecure app on any device.
When unlocking or logging in to the app. What I mean here is after you have set up the app, you only need to enter your password to open mSecure and view your information. This is when you would use Face/Touch ID instead of entering your password.
When viewing the details or editing a record.
One and two are pretty much mandatory when it comes to an MFA implementation. They are the most obvious contexts in which you would need to authenticate with a 2nd factor in order to proceed. However, we're not sure if the third option is something our customers would user or not. As an example of the workflow, I would think #1 and #3 would be a good combination. In order to even set up mSecure on any device, you would have to know your Username, your mSecure account Password, your Encrypted Account Key in the form of a QR code (even when retrieved from your iCloud Drive account, it's still used for authentication), and you would have to authenticate with the Yubikey. For signing in to your account, the Encrypted Account Key has always been a form of 2FA, because without that key, even if someone knows your Username and Password, they cannot get access to your account. So with the Yubikey, you would actually have 3 factors of authentication. Then after you are signed in, you could set different records to require authentication via the Yubikey. This way, you could more easily unlock mSecure, but then if you needed to look at the details for a certain record, after you tapped it, you would have to authenticate with the Yubikey in order to view the details.
All three options would be implemented if all of them were found valuable. I'm not entirely sure about this, but I believe all three would be optional. You could pick and choose which ones to enable, and if you wanted all three enabled to really lock things down, you could do it. In that case, you'd have to use the Yubikey when you first signed in to your account, then every time you unlocked the app, even if you also used Face/Touch ID, then again when you tapped a record to view its details.
Third, I may know the answer to this one already, but how do you see Yubikey, or any hardware key, helping that much more than biometric unlock features? In theory, the answer is obvious. There's no question that another factor of authentication is more secure. However, in practice, do you believe it to be a lot more secure than the biometrics offered on most devices? For example, if you had a computer that offered biometrics that mSecure tied into, would you find it necessary to enable MFA?
Thank you all for your feedback in advance. We know that MFA is very important to a lot of our customers, and we want to do it right.
Hi Mike! Thank you for this update. At work we use KeePassXC with Yubikey as second factor. It used challenge -response on slot 2. Example : https://www.yubico.com/us/works-with-yubikey/catalog/keepass/ Also it's implemented on iOS and Android mobile apps via NFC (we use Yubikey 5 NFC). When it used - on 2 and 3 cases that you described. What about my expectations - to use it aslo as 2 and 3 cases. As small example - I can restore my backup on any PC only knowing my passphrase. So it's only one factor. It Yubikey with challenge-response would be needed - we'll have second factor. And even if database password would be compromised - passwords and database would be useless without hardware Yubikey. What about logging into account - this necessity occurs very seldom. And unlocks are pretty nice and convenient with FaceID/biometrics.
Personally, I use Apple products exclusively. At home, I am ok with only iOS support; however, I work in a secure environment, so I look forward to as many layers of security as possible, especially where these data are concerned. My office has a mix of OS's, and I bring my MacBook in with me. It's there that I am really looking for hardware security. I would be able to use mSecure on work-provided equipment with the key, and would feel comfortable installing it on the MacBook I bring to the office rather than rely on just my iPhone. | {

Georgetown, TX: 'We're not Al Gore, but our goal: 100% clean energy.'
Source: Texas city opts for 100% renewable energy – to save cash, not the planet, by Tom Dart, The Guardian, March 29, 2015.
Notes: To sum up this Guardian article by Tom Dart:
Georgetown is located in Williamson County, Texas, a county that voted more than 60% Republican in 2012. This city plans to receive 100% of its electricity from wind farms and solar plants by January 2017. That makes Georgetown the first city in Texas to gets all of its power from green sources.
As the mayor, city manager and many of the residents would tell you, Georgetown is switching to renewables to strictly to save money, NOT to combat global warming or save the environment.
"No, environmental zealots have not taken over our city council, and we're not trying to make a statement about fracking or climate change," Georgetown Mayor Dale Ross writes in a letter in Time. "Our move to wind and solar is chiefly a business decision based on cost and price stability."
The conservative citizens of Georgetown reacted mostly positive to the announcement because they are getting the security of keeping their utility bills flat from now and the next several decades. By switching from fossil fuels, Georgetown will keep their energy prices locked in close to its current low rate of 9.6 cents per kilowatt-hour until the year 2041, avoiding the price fluctuations associated with fossil fuels.
"I was called an Al Gore clone, a tree-hugger," interim City Manager Jim Briggs told the Guardian. "I'm probably the furthest thing from an Al Gore clone you could find. We didn't do this to save the world — We did this to get a competitive rate and reduce the risk for our consumers."

Additional Notes: On May 5-7, 2015 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, The Climate Reality Project, led by former Vice-President Al Gore, gave an in depth scientific training for 350 participants, including me, on how to give climate change presentations.
During this training, Al Gore talked about Georgetown, Texas going 100% renewable. Gore then cited the quote from the City Manager, 'I'm the furthest thing from Al Gore you could find. We're only doing to keep electric rates low.'
Al Gore hilarious response: "Hey man, that works for me!"
"I'm probably the furthest thing from an Al Gore clone you could find. We didn't do this to save the world — We did this to get a competitive rate and reduce the risk for our consumers." – Georgetown, Texas interim City Manager Jim Briggs | {

The Fallacy of Taking Bolton at His Word
By: Leon V. Sigal
John Bolton's revelations are all the rage in the news media, and for somewhat understandable reasons: He authoritatively confirms what has been widely reported about US President Donald Trump's uninformed and impulsive approach to foreign policymaking. Bolton's story is hardly impartial, however, and especially so in the case of Trump's dealings with North Korea.
Even articles disparaging Bolton's disclosures accept his tale of the president's flawed nuclear diplomacy with Kim Jong Un, preferring to focus on the discrepancies between Trump's words and his deeds instead of investigating whether Bolton's version of what happened in the negotiations is correct. Why journalists would uncritically take the word of such a notorious serial killer of arms control agreements as Bolton is an open question. One explanation may be that their prior reporting relied in no small part on Bolton and his aides as sources.
A case in point is a June 18 story in The Washington Post entitled "Book: Trump Sought Xi's Election Help."[1] In it, Josh Dawsey recounts without comment how Bolton castigates Trump's diplomacy at the Singapore Summit, claiming the president cared little for the details of the denuclearization effort and saw it merely as "an exercise in publicity." Bolton wrote, "Trump told…me he was prepared to sign a substance-free communique, have his press conference to declare victory and then get out of town." The idea that sitting down with Kim demonstrated Trump's willingness to reconcile with a longtime US foe, a key to any progress on denuclearization, is apparently not worth mentioning. Nor did the principled agreement he signed lack substance. Such reporting has become the conventual wisdom around Washington.
Dawsey is not alone. In a June 22 article in The New York Times, headlined "Bolton Book Portrays a President Conflicted on Nuclear Adversaries," David E. Sanger writes,
President Trump knew exactly what he was getting when he hired John R. Bolton in the spring of 2018 to be his national security adviser: an uber-hawk who made no secret of his belief that Iran and North Korea could be driven over the brink by extreme sanctions, and who told the president that attacking nuclear facilities "might be the only lasting solution."…Mr. Bolton's memoir…provides the first inside glimpse of what went wrong on both fronts—and why force was never used. The answer, he argues, lies in a president who wanted to be perceived as tough but changed his mind day-to-day, his top priority "making a deal he could characterize as a huge success, even if it was badly flawed."[2]
Sanger is quick to acknowledge, "Every interaction is viewed through Mr. Bolton's own prism, in which any relaxation of sanctions or proposal for a 'nuclear freeze' is a mortal danger, rather than a tactic toward getting to a bigger deal." Yet Sanger does not question any of the particulars of Bolton's account.
Like Dawsey, Sanger focuses on administration infighting without questioning the validity of Bolton's stance. He observes that disagreements among the president's advisers "dominated the effort to deal with North Korea, where Mr. Bolton cast himself at war with State Department negotiators who were talking about partial steps toward disarmament." For instance, "Mr. Bolton opposed any step-by-step actions, fearing the North Koreans would just rebuild, as they did after reaching accords with the George W. Bush administration." Was Pyongyang alone in reneging on those accords, or did Washington first fail to fulfill its obligations? Why did State Department negotiators favor concentrating initially on stopping and dismantling the production of fissile material, not missiles? Sanger does not say.
What he does say about the North's offer is sometimes erroneous:
At the Hanoi summit early last year, Mr. Kim tried to sell Mr. Trump on the idea of lifting all of the most potent sanctions against the North in return for dismantling the aging, leaking nuclear facilities at Yongbyon, the country's largest nuclear site. Many of the North's most worrisome, and newer, nuclear production sites are outside Yongbyon, and so are all of its missile facilities. (Author's emphasis added.)
The 5 MWe reactor is certainly aging and has been operating fitfully at best, but what about the plant for enriching uranium, which has been repeatedly upgraded and recently expanded? And what did the North Koreans mean by referring to "the Yongbyon area" at the summit—was that an oblique reference to including the suspect enrichment site nearby in their offer?
Sanger observes that Washington's overreach at Hanoi had serious consequences, but he allows Bolton to deflect responsibility:
The meeting fell apart, and in the year-and-a-half since, negotiations have never resumed. The North has continued to amass nuclear material, enough for 20 or more nuclear weapons since the Trump diplomacy began. Mr. Bolton does not blame himself for that failure. "The North Koreans and others were expert at taking full advantage of those who wanted a deal, any deal, as a sign of success," Mr. Bolton continued. "We were a perfect mark."
Yet it was Bolton who convinced Trump to put the so-called "Libya solution" on the table, thereby subverting the negotiations and arousing hardline resistance to engagement inside Pyongyang that has impeded their resumption ever since. For Bolton to blow up Trump's negotiations with Kim, however wrong-headed, was no mean accomplishment.
Even Bolton's Critics Accept His Take on North Korea
Fred Kaplan's June 22 article in Slate, "John Bolton's Book Is a Scalding Indictment…of John Bolton," is a justifiably scorching critique of the former aide's approach to foreign policy, but he handles Bolton's version of North Korea diplomacy with kid gloves:
Bolton offers very detailed, occasionally fascinating accounts of Trump's two summits with Kim, in Singapore (which ended with a meaningless joint declaration) and in Hanoi (which collapsed in failure, since which time no talks have occurred at all). But Bolton doesn't seem to grasp the significance of what happened in Hanoi. Kim arrived with one offer: he would dismantle the Yongbyon nuclear site if Trump lifted all sanctions that had been imposed since 2006 (those were the ones that took a bite). Trump rejected the proposal, with good reason: Yongbyon was hardly Kim's only reactor. But, as Bolton notes, Trump then made some counteroffers: How about if the U.S. lifted some of the sanctions? Or how about if Kim added one more element—say, a ban on producing intercontinental ballistic missiles? Kim turned those ideas down.
In other words, Bolton viewed the outcome of Hanoi as a relief, but there almost was a deal—there would have been, if Kim hadn't been so inflexible—and Trump came away still wanting some deal.
Singapore "ended with a meaningless joint declaration"? Yongbyon "was hardly Kim's only reactor"? Kim wanted Trump to "[lift] all sanctions that had been imposed since 2006"? Trump made a counteroffer to lift "some sanctions"? Kaplan should know better.
The Book's Reception Echoes Questionable Prior Reporting
Sanger's article reflects his reporting from the time Bolton became national security adviser. Here is an earlier story he wrote in the run-up to the Singapore Summit in 2018:
Mr. Trump's aides have grown concerned that the president—who has said that "everyone thinks" he deserves a Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts—has signaled that he wants the summit meeting too much…The aides are also concerned about what kind of grasp Mr. Trump has on the details of the North Korea program, and what he must insist upon as the key components of denuclearization…Mr. Bolton has been clear that in his view the president should use the Singapore meeting to declare that the North must give up its entire arsenal and nuclear infrastructure before crippling economic sanctions are eased.[3]
The article makes no mention of Kim's concession that opened the way to that summit, his unilateral moratorium on testing nuclear weapons and longer-range missiles—before the North had developed a proven thermonuclear device or an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) equipped with a reentry vehicle. In the aftermath of the summit, reporters disparaged Trump's reciprocal gesture at Singapore, a suspension of joint military exercises with South Korea that unfortunately proved temporary.
Sanger co-authored an article with State Department correspondent Mark Landler entitled "U.N. Saw Fiery Trump in 2017; Now Aides Fear He'll Play Nice" that ran on September 24, 2018, the eve of the president's appearance at the United Nations General Assembly:
Far from restraining Mr. Trump's belligerent tendencies, his senior aides are engaged in a quiet effort to avoid…concessions that they fear could undermine their effort to keep pressure on North Korea. Either of those possibilities would rattle Mr. Trump's aides, who are uniformly hawkish about…North Korea, and favor squeezing those countries over talking to them. (Author's emphasis added.)
A meeting with President Moon Jae-in of South Korea tomorrow also looms large, since Mr. Moon is likely to press him to make concessions to keep the talks with Mr. Kim going.
The South Korean leader is pressing him to accept a declaration that would formally end the Korean War, 65 years after hostilities were halted by an armistice. That is a cherished objective for Mr. Kim, who views it as a way to end North Korea's diplomatic isolation.
Mr. Trump's aides have been trying to head off such a gesture, arguing that the United States gave up enough when Trump suspended joint military exercises with South Korea—which he referred to as "war games," embracing North Korea's terminology. They fear that another concession to Mr. Kim would feed the narrative that the North Korean leader is playing Mr. Trump.[4]
Within weeks, one of those "uniformly hawkish" aides, then-CIA Director Mike Pompeo, met with the North Korean leader in Pyongyang and offered just such an end-of-war declaration.
On December 4, Bolton made his case outside, perhaps a sign he was losing inside. In an article co-authored by Sanger and diplomatic correspondent Edward Wong, the lede read like a non-sequitur:
President Trump plans to hold a second summit meeting early next year with Kim Jong-un, even though North Korea has failed to follow through with promises to start dismantling its nuclear weapons program, John R. Bolton, the national security adviser, said [today].
"They have not lived up to the commitments so far," Mr. Bolton said. "That's why I think the president thinks another summit is likely to be productive."
The article continued by calling the president's more dubious claims into question, a staple of news media coverage of North Korea:
Mr. Bolton was referring to a pledge that the North Korean leader made in June at his first face-to-face meeting with Mr. Trump in Singapore. At the time, Mr. Kim said North Korea would work toward "complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula."…Mr. Trump often notes that there have been no missile or nuclear tests in more than a year to argue that Mr. Kim is willing to make good on his promises. But Mr. Bolton and others on the president's staff remain highly skeptical…Mr. Bolton's statements were particularly notable because Mr. Trump himself has argued that his diplomacy with North Korea has yielded results, and that reports in The New York Times and elsewhere citing continued missile activity were an effort to undermine his efforts.
"We fully know about the sites being discussed, nothing new—and nothing happening out of the normal. Just more Fake News," he wrote on Twitter last month. "I will be the first to let you know if things go bad!"
But Mr. Bolton made clear that the next summit meeting would have to set a schedule for North Korea's compliance…Mr. Bolton said the second meeting between the two leaders would probably take place in January or February.
He made his remarks in an onstage interview at a conference of business executives in Washington organized by the Wall Street Journal. The interviewer, Gerard Baker, an editor at large at The Journal, pressed Mr. Bolton on the logic of holding another summit meeting when North Korea was not making any efforts to denuclearize.
"They're going to discuss this and look at the commitments that were made in Singapore and…how they're going to accomplish those commitments," Mr. Bolton said, "and until that happens there's not going to be any release of the economic sanctions."[5]
It was a harbinger of the Libya solution that he would get the president to adopt in Hanoi.
Such reporting is somewhat explicable: It was Sanger's responsibility as the Times' national security correspondent and Dawsey's on the White House beat to try to maintain access to the national security adviser and his staff. But it is quite another matter to take a former national security adviser's word for what happened on his watch.
Donald Trump may be right to feel wronged about North Korea coverage when he complained shortly after Bolton's departure:
…we were set back very badly when John Bolton talked about the Libyan model. And he made a mistake. And as soon as he mentioned that, the "Libyan model," what a disaster. Take a look at what happened to Qaddafi, with the Libyan model. And he's using that to make a deal with North Korea? And I don't blame Kim Jong Un for what he said after that. And he wanted nothing to do with John Bolton. And that's not a question of being tough; that's a question of being not smart, to say something like that.

The Art & Craft of Murder by Cozy Cat Parker
2:08 pm 26 July 2016
In a small fishing village known as Whistler's Cove, Misty owns and operates her dream come true, a successful teahouse that caters to an artistic community. Every small village has that one popular hangout, a place for locals to mingle and gossip. Or commit murder. Unfortunately for the town meanie, Hillary Short, poison is today's teahouse special. The only question being asked is WHO served the deadly dish. Or in this case, tainted tomato juice.
This is a short introduction in a four book series that revolves around Whistler's Cove. A number of locals are introduced in the first book but none really stand out, other than the main character and teahouse owner, Misty Williams. She's a likeable lady and I enjoyed the teahouse setting. Seems like a quaint gathering spot in an artsy community. This novella took less than an hour to read. But, nothing really wowed me or endeared me to it's characters. Then again, I find it hard to critique a story that's under fifty pages. I totally appreciate an author that can set the scene, add suspense to a mystery, and quickly wrap it up in forty-eight pages. I've read plenty books that had less to say but tortured reader's minds for hundreds of unnecessary pages. The bottom line here is, while there was a fine mystery developing, I needed something more. Maybe a bit more humor that cozy mysteries are normally known for. I needed something that captured my imagination, that one thing that compels a reader on. I needed to be hooked, especially since the first book in a series is what catapults the reader to the next. I wanted that happy connection that just wasn't there. For that reason, I'm on the fence. Not bad but I'm not cozy. Should I investigate this mystery further or call it a wrap? Right now, that decision remains unsolved.
If you're interested in reading this easy cozy, it's available on Amazon for free.
Other books in the Whistler's Cove Mystery Series are:
(Book Two) Cozy Mysteries: A Well-Crafted Alibi
(Book Three) Cozy Mysteries: A Twist of the Craft Knife
(Book Four) Cozy Mysteries: Death at the Craft Fair

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA):
Applied behavior analysis (ABA) is a discipline that applies behavioral science interventions in real-world settings including schools, homes and clinics. The goal of ABA interventions is to improve socially important issues such as behavior problems and learning
Asperger's Syndrome (AS):
A diagnostic label that was previously utilized to describe a person with an ASD who did not have a language delay or any co-occurring intellectual disability.
Autism:
A commonly used term for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
Autistic Disorder:
A diagnostic label that was previously utilized to describe a person with an ASD.
Autism Spectrum Disorder:
Also known as ASD, a developmental disability used to describe individuals who have difficulties with social communication/interaction and exhibit restrictive and/or repetitive patterns of behavior.
Childhood Disintegrative Disorder:
Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-5):
The official system for classification of psychological and psychiatric disorders prepared by and published by the American Psychiatric Association.
Developmental disability:
According to the CDC, a developmental disability is a condition caused by an impairment in physical, learning, language, or behavior areas. The CDC considers autism, ADHD, blindness, and cerebral palsy to be examples of developmental disabilities.
Developmental, Individual Differences, Relationship-based (DIR):
An intervention framework that helps clinicians, parents and educators conduct a comprehensive assessment and develop an intervention program tailored to the unique challenges and strengths.
Executive Functioning:
The term executive functioning, or executive function, refers to the mental skills of working memory, cognitive flexibility, and inhibitory control. In short, these skills are responsible for things such as paying attention, planning, managing emotions, and understanding different points of view. Humans are not born with these skills and must develop them during childhood and into adolescence. Various conditions, such as ADHD, interfere with a person's development of these skills. People who don't develop these skills are said to have executive functioning issues. Examples of some executive functioning skills include:
working memory: the ability to store information and use it later.
self-control: the ability to avoid outbursts and control one's own emotions.
planning: the ability to think about the future and prioritize important tasks.
self-monitoring: the ability to recognize how well one is doing at a task.
organization: the ability to arrange thoughts or objects in an orderly manner.
adaptable thinking: the ability to focus on a task and use different perspectives to solve problems.
Early Intensive Behavioral Intervention (EIBI):
A fairly generic term for applied behavioral analysis (ABA-based) interventions, the focus is on very young children with ASD, usually younger than five, and often younger than three. The intensity of intervention is significant in number of hours and in the ratio of child to instructor.
Echolalia:
Repeating words or phrases heard previously. The echoing may occur immediately after hearing the word or phrase, or much later. Delayed echolalia can occur days or weeks after hearing the word or phrase.
High Functioning Autism:
A colloquial term used to describe individuals with ASD who do not have a co-occurring intellectual disability.
Individualized Educational Program (IEP):
A program that identifies the student's specific learning expectations and outlines how the school will address these expectations through appropriate special education programs and services. It also identifies the methods by which the student's progress will be reviewed. For students 14 years or older, it must also contain a program for the transition to postsecondary education, or the workplace, or to help the student live as independently as possible in the community.
Neurodiversity:
Neurodiversity is the variation and differences in neurological structure and function that exist among human beings," and as a term, refers to the idea that differences in brain development and behavior are normal and not the result of mental disorders. This idea suggests that conditions such as autism or ADHD are normal variations and not disorders that negatively impact the brain. People with these conditions are said to be neurodiverse.
Importantly, these terms are not used to describe individuals who have suffered traumatic head injuries or suffer from diseases that can damage the brain such as rabies or syphilis.
Neurotypical and Neuro-atypical:
Some people use the term neuro-atypical to refer to any person who has autism or any similar condition. However, this term has largely fallen out of use and the terms neurodiverse and neurodivergent have largely replaced it. The term neurotypical is commonly used by supporters of neurodiversity to describe a person who shows typical neurological behavior and development. It refers to a person that general society would consider to have an "average" or "normal" (typical) brain (neuro-). Neither neurodiversity nor neurotypical are official medical terms.
Neurodivergent:
Neurodivergent is a non-medical term used similarly to the term neurodiverse to refer to people who have conditions such as autism, dyslexia, and OCD that impact cognitive abilities and social skills. Like neurodiverse, the term neurodivergent is used to mean someone who "shows atypical neurological behavior and development." A person with one of these conditions is simply different (or divergent).
Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS):
PECS is an alternative communication system that uses picture symbols. It is taught in six phases starting with a simple exchange of a picture symbol for a desired item. Individuals learn to use picture symbols to construct complete sentences, initiate communication, and answer direct questions.
Perseveration:
Repetitive movement or speech, or sticking to one idea or task, which has a compulsive quality to it.
Pervasive Developmental Disorder – Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS):
A diagnostic label that was previously utilized to describe a person with an ASD
Pivotal Response Training:
An intervention based on the principles of applied behavior analysis (ABA). Two pivotal behaviors, motivation and responsivity to multiple cues are taught. These behaviors are central to a wide area of functioning and positive changes in these behaviors should have widespread effects.
Positive Behavior Supports:
The broad enterprise of helping people develop and engage in adaptive, socially desirable behaviors and overcome patterns of destructive and stigmatizing responding.
Relationship Development Intervention (RDI):
A parent-based intervention program where parents are provided the tools to effectively teach Dynamic Intelligence Skills and motivation to their child.
Rett's Syndrome:
A neurological disorder that occurs only in girls. The initial symptoms include some that are associated with ASD.
Sensory Integration (SI):
This is a term applied to the way the brain processes sensory stimulation or sensation from the body and then translates that information into specific, planned and coordinated motor activity.
Stimming
Stimming is an informal term short for the clinical term "self-stimulatory behaviors" and refers to repetitive behaviors or motions that a person does, such as a person biting their nails. Stimming is done when someone is feeling overwhelmed as a way of focusing on one activity. While stimming isn't exclusively done by people diagnosed with ASD, the behavior can be more common and disruptive in this population.
TEACCH:
A therapeutic approach broadly based on the idea that individuals with ASD more effectively use and understand visual cues. It focuses on promoting dependence by using items such as picture schedules to break down tasks step-by-step. This enables an individual to better comprehend and perform the task independently. This approach often aids receptive communication and sequential memory.
Theory of Mind:
The ability to understand that others have beliefs, desires and intentions that are different from one's own.
Verbal Behavior:
A program of applied behavior analysis that focuses on teaching verbal behavior through a collection of highly effective teaching procedures taken from the science of behavior analysis.
Visual Supports:
Written words, pictures and/or icons that convey information in visual medium. Individuals with ASD are typically visual learners and conveying information visually assists with comprehension.

The British Museum is to set up a training scheme for Iraqi archaeologists to tackle the aftermath of destruction wrought by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), the Art Newspaper has reported.
A museum spokeswoman said the program, which has been awarded a 3 million-pound grant from the U.K. government, would help Iraq to document the damage and start the process of reconstruction and preservation.
Archaeologists with extensive field experience in Iraq will lead the program, which will run for six months. They will train Iraqis in techniques including 3-D scanning, emergency retrieval techniques, forensic collection and documentation techniques, together with conservation and restoration techniques, the British Museum said in a statement.
The museum's plan is to recruit two international archaeologists to head a training project. Small groups of Iraqi archaeologists will come to London for a three-month course and then return to their home country, where they will receive three further months of training from the two international specialists. The courses in Iraq will take place in the more secure regions in the north and Basra, in the south. Altogether 50 Iraqis will be trained to work on damaged sites over a five-year period.
Culture Secretary John Whittingdale said "Civilizations tell their stories through their art, which is why people who are hell-bent on destruction, target it. Removing places and things that have helped to give people a shared sense of history and identity helps to undermine social cohesion and makes reconciliation less likely.
Whittingdale is also expected to reaffirm the U.K. government's commitment to ratifying the 1954 Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict. | {

Caddy's Corner is a small family business that offers superb self catering accommodation in Cornwall.
Wonderfully located bang in the middle of a World Heritage site, the lodges are surrounded by wildflower meadows, with no street lamps or passing cars nearby. Now that's a holiday.
I helped the team sum up their offer online. | {

Lindsay Ann Davis
Community College Librarian
Celebrating Student Re$earch
May 24, 2019 May 24, 2019 Lindsay DavisLeave a comment
I love graduation season. I love seeing pictures of folks in caps and gowns and reading posts about gratitude and accomplishment. (If you or a loved one just graduated, congratulations!) In the spirit of celebration and reflection, I started thinking about the library award committee I have been chairing the last two years and discovered that I never blogged about the first award cycle for the Abresch-Kranich Library Award, and the UC Merced Library just finished awarding the second set of scholarships this spring.
In 2018, we had two winners, Melissa Becerra and Nathan Parmeter. Each student received a $500 scholarship thanks to our donor, Arlene Kranich. You can read more about the award and our student winners in "New Scholarship Pays Homage to Persistence and Research."
Last spring, my former Central Valley colleague Ray Pun also interviewed me about the award for the Credo Reference blog for the HIP (high-impact practices) in Action series. You can read the interview in "HIP in Action: Undergraduate Research & Awards." It was great exposure for our library and UC Merced, and I hope the interview helped inspire other libraries.
In 2019, we also had two student winners, Marisela Padilla Alcalá and Sarah Lee. You can read more about our student winners in "Two Students Honored for Excellence in Use of Library Resources."
After the second award cycle, I have a better idea of when and in what specific areas I need to ask for help. I also have ideas for changes to the workflow. I'm currently on vacation, but before I left, I started drafting my process with changes I might want to make regarding the timeline. The review and reception happens during the busiest time in the instruction season, and the process will go much more smoothly if we can open and close the application earlier. Currently, it opens Nov. 1 and closes Feb. 1, but opening it on Oct. 1 and closing it in mid-January will help me get the applications out to the five-member review committee more quickly. After a quick chat with the university librarian, he agreed with the earlier deadline, and we also determined that we should hold the reception before spring break, which is always in March. There are also some other changes I want to make, and I'm very thankful that two of my colleagues who have helped with reviewing student applications are interested in helping me streamline this process, which may also involve changing the award rubric. We'll be doing this work in June.
Does your college or university library have a research award of some kind?
Abrescy-Kranich Library Award for Student Research Excellence
December 18, 2017 December 18, 2017 Lindsay Davis1 Comment
Over the summer, I was part of a team that helped develop a new undergraduate student research award, the Carter Joseph Abrescy and Larry Kranich Award for Student Research Excellence. The award recognizes an undergraduate student research paper or project that was completed within the last 12 months for a credit-bearing course that demonstrates effective use of library resources and services. We will either award one winner with $1,000 or two winners with $500 each. We researched several library research awards from different institutions to create the criteria. Students will need to submit an abstract, their paper or project, bibliography, and a reflective essay about their research process. We also developed a rubric for reviewers to use when scoring the applications.
We hit a bit of a snag when it came to the money side of the initial set-up, so we got behind schedule for the launch. We were able to work with Financial Aid and Scholarships to use their undergraduate scholarship system to house the award application materials. Working with Financial Aid and Scholarships has been a great experience! The Scholarship Coordinator is very patient, and she does prompt work.
In s surprising turn events, I'm now chairing the committee. My colleague has several big projects, so she and I switched reins about three or so weeks ago. I'm a bit nervous chairing something like this, but it's the next logical move for me in terms of committee work and event planning. My supervisor, who was also on the planning group, has been very helpful with my questions and in offering feedback.
Originally, we were going to begin advertising the award in October, but since the financial side wasn't ready, it's going to be a very tight turnaround during this initial year. I'm pleased to report that we were able to launch the award the Friday before finals. Whew! Applications are due Monday, Feb. 12, and the winner(s) will be announced by March 15. The award ceremony will take some time in mid-April. Our communications coordinator put out a quick email message to the campus community about the award, and she'll be working on a larger campaign when students return from winter break. We are very fortunate that the scholarship system alerts students who have previously applied for scholarships about new scholarship opportunities, so over 1200 students received an alert. I've also made some other strategic contacts about the award. Now that the award is live, we can be begin advertising earlier in subsequent years.
Right now, I'm working on recruiting members for the selection committee. The selection committee is a team of five: three librarians (as chair, I'm not one of the reviewers) and two faculty members. The faculty members, we hope, will be representatives from the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Center (UROC) and Undergraduate Council. The chair of UGC has been in contact with me and has some good ideas.
I'm looking forward to seeing our submissions and awarding a student (or two!) with a prize for their research. I'm also curious about working with Development for the awards ceremony.

#GivingTuesday is upon us! I've written about organizations worthy of donation before, and I wanted to mention some of these again, as well as other organizations/groups in my work and home communities that are worthy of your consideration.
Earlier this month, my fellow community members voted to renew the 1/8 cent sales tax for the Stanislaus County Library system's 13 branches. It will go up for renewal again in 12 years. The volunteers behind the Save Stanislaus Libraries campaign worked tirelessly to get the word out, and Measure S was passed with over 80 percent approval.
I encourage you to donate to your local library foundations and friends group or consider donating to EveryLibrary to help other communities' libraries that are on the ballot.
Now, I haven't talked to anyone about this yet, but I really want to take part in ALA and REFORMA's new Adopt a Library program for the Caribbean. If you have a willing organization, this may be a good project to take on!
Going to college was a big deal for me. I recently attended a reception as an alumni of the Rogers Scholars award, which has been in place at my alma mater since 1991. The students' stories really resonated with me.
A couple of years ago, the plant my dad worked at closed down, so he took an early retirement. Up until my dad retired, both of my parents were cannery workers. As in they operated machinery. My dad was a dryer operator, and my mom runs a machine that covers fruit cups with plastic film. My mom is an immigrant from Mexico who received little education; she went up to the equivalent of the eighth grade. Growing up, I knew I needed to go to college to have more options than my parents, but I was so stressed out about the cost, I opted to go to school locally. I was able to finish school with zero debt by living at home and receiving scholarships and grants.
I know what a difference scholarships can make in a student's life, which is why I give to my undergraduate alma mater's One Purpose campaign. When I worked at Merced College, I also made monthly contributions, and now I give to student scholarships at UC Merced. I also need to start making donations to San José State University, my graduate alma mater, and the Hispanic Scholarship Fund (HSF). A very generous HSF donor contributed $11k to my graduate education, and I had also received a scholarship from HSF as an undergraduate. I feel passionately about investing in young people. I hope you'll consider donating to your alma mater or a local college or university.
I also contribute to my local NPR station, Capital Public Radio; Creative Commons; and the Internet Archive. However, I also want to contribute to Wikipedia. I just love these sources that much. Do you donate to any information sources?
When I worked at the Stanislaus County Library, I discovered our town's local World Relief office, which works to house refugees. A volunteer was showing an Ethiopian man around the library, and I thought it was awesome. (Bonus: If you're interested in libraries and refugees, check out Libraries Serve Refugees.)
Hometown Gems
This could get long, folks, but I also wanted to share that a few years ago, a friend and her husband had a wedding anniversary party at our town's historic State Theater, and, as gifts, we made donations to the theater. A friend of mine recently got married, and, in lieu of gifts, he and his wife chose two organizations where friends and family could donate in their honor–Merced County Courthouse Museum and the Humane Society of Stanislaus County. If you're in Modesto, consider giving to the McHenry Museum. What are some hometown gems you can't live without?
Do you have #GivingTuesday plans? I know not everyone is in the place to give, but if you can, do!
Goodbye Pt. 1

Last Friday was my last campus faculty meeting for the school year and Los Banos Campus' Merit and Awards Ceremony. A couple of weeks before the official Merced College graduation ceremony, we honor Los Banos students who are graduating (this was my second and last year to read the names), scholarship recipients (I was on the committee in 2014/2015 and 2015/2016), and Student of the Month and Year winners (I was on the committee in 2014/2015 and 2015/2016). We also honor a staff member as the Los Banos Campus Classified Staff Member of the Year, and one of my good friends, our Student Services Assistant, won the well-deserved honor.
What I didn't expect was a little going-away recognition. Our faculty lead presented me and a colleague who is moving to the main campus with lovely matted photos of the Los Banos with nice messages written by our colleagues on the mat. We have wonderful staff and faculty members in Los Banos. I am going to miss this tight-knit team. I will definitely be hanging this in my new office.
But it's not goodbye quite yet. We still have graduation at the end of the month where I will don my Masters hood one last time with my colleagues as we celebrate our students' successes. I've had months to process my move, but I think I'm going to need waterproof mascara.
Community Giving & World Relief
November 23, 2015 November 23, 2015 Lindsay Davis1 Comment
This isn't a library post, but we librarians sure love our communities—the ones we work with and the ones we live in.
With Thanksgiving and the Christmas season around the corner, I have a lot on my mind, but not parties, presents, and pleasantries. I have been thinking about people in distress in my local community and about the Syrian refugee crisis and what we can do to help. (Even before the American backlash after the Paris attack, I followed the refugee story. A few years ago, I read The Story of My Life: An Afghan Girl on the Other Side of the Sky, and I became very interested in refugees around the world. )
My husband and I are very big proponent of giving our finances and time. For both college and graduate school, I received scholarships from donors, so I give to both my alma maters, California State University Stanislaus (I also work here part-time) and San José State University, and I also give to the community college I work for, Merced College. I don't talk about this much, but we also give to our church, Crossroads Church, so that we can help carry out the work to assist people in need. We also give to the Modesto Gospel Mission, a local homeless shelter, and to Second Harvest Foodbank of San Joaquin and Stanislaus Counties. And if my bio says NPR listener, you bet I give to Capital Public Radio. We also do various one-time donations for issues that come up throughout the year.
Regarding the refugee situation, I wanted to highlight World Relief Modesto, another organization we donate to. World Relief helps resettle refugees that are placed in Modesto. My first encounter with World Relief was actually seeing them in action in the community when I was working part-time at my local library, Stanislaus County Library. A World Relief volunteer was showing an Ethiopian man the public library. I was so impacted that I, at one point, applied for a job with World Relief. I didn't get the job, mostly because they knew how much I loved libraries. I really believe in the work they do. If you can give to a similar organization in your area, please do!
What causes, charities, or other groups do you donate your time or finances to? What issues are close to your heart? Besides libraries, of course.

Along the coast of Essex in the UK, there once stood a line of WW2 concrete pillbox defences, installed on top of cliffs to survey the horizon for imminent invasion. However, due to coastal erosion, many of these structures are now in pieces on various beaches, such as Mersea Island and Walton on the Naze.

Tune In Alert: Tim Atwood To Appear On Larry's Country Diner
Larry's Country Diner' Airs Thursday, October 15 at 8/7c and Saturday, October 17 at 11/10c on RFD TV NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Country music entertainer Tim Atwood will appear on the hit television show Larry's Country Diner airing Thursday, October 15 at 8/7c and then again on Saturday, October 17 at 11/10c. Viewers will see live performances of "Come On If You're Comin'," "Saved By Grace," "You First" and "One Pair Of Hands" which are all included on his upcoming album 'Who I Am,' available on November 20. Fans will not want to miss this special airing of Larry's Country Diner and one-of-a-kind upcoming album release!
Never one to sit still for long, Atwood has been in the studio wrapping up his fourth studio album 'Who I Am,' which showcases Atwood's versatility as a writer and a performer as he takes his fans on a musical journey that includes his self penned, country shuffle "Migraine Heartache" as well as Delbert McClinton's soulful anthem "Sending Me Angels." Atwood has never been an artist who readily fits into any one box. Instead, he relishes his love of playing outside of the box.
"I think 'Who I Am' is the best work I've ever done. I am proud of this project and proud to debut four of the album's fifteen songs on Larry's Country Diner. Not only is it an honor to perform on a show that continues to promote and support our music, but Larry Black, along with his cast and crew, have created an environment of family and fun. When you visit the diner, you feel like you're coming home. I absolutely love that," shares Atwood.
During his thirty-eight years on the Grand Ole Opry stage, Tim performed alongside nearly four decades of country music hitmakers including Loretta Lynn, George Jones, Marty Robbins, Jeannie Seely, Dolly Parton, The Oak Ridge Boys, Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson, Garth Brooks, Vince Gill, Carrie Underwood, and Taylor Swift.

Atkins' largest influence came as a session musician and a record producer. During the '50s and '60s, he helped create the Nashville sound, a style of country music that owed nearly as much to pop as it did to honky tonks.
And as a guitarist, he was without parallel. Atkins' style grew out of his admiration for Merle Travis, expanding Travis' signature syncopated thumb and fingers roll into new territory. Interestingly, Atkins didn't begin his musical career by playing guitar. On the recommendation of his older brother, Lowell, he began playing the fiddle at a child. However, Chet was still attracted to the guitar, and at the age of nine he traded a pistol for a guitar. Atkins learned his instrument rapidly, becoming an accomplished player by the time he left high school in 1941. Using a variety of contacts, he wound up performing on the Bill Carlisle Show on WNOX in Knoxville, TN, as well as becoming part of the Dixie Swingers. Atkins worked with Homer & Jethro while he was at the radio station. After three years, he moved to a radio station in Cincinnati.
Supporting Red Foley, Atkins made his first appearance at the Grand Ole Opry in 1946. That same year, he made his first records, recording for Bullet. Atkins also began making regular performances on the WRVA radio station in Richmond, VA, but he was repeatedly fired because his musical arrangements differed from the expectations of the station's executives. He eventually moved to Springfield, MO, working for the KWTO station. A tape of one of Atkins' performances was sent to RCA Victor's office in Chicago. Eventually, it worked its way to Steve Sholes, the head of country music at RCA. Sholes had heard Atkins previously, and had been trying to find him for several years. By the time Sholes heard the tape, Atkins had moved to Denver, and was playing with Shorty Thompson & His Rangers. Upon receiving the call from RCA, he moved to Nashville to record.
Once he arrived in Nashville, Atkins recorded eight tracks for the label, five of which featured the guitarist singing. Impressed by his playing, Sholes made Atkins the studio guitarist for all of the RCA studio's Nashville sessions in 1949. The following year, Mother Maybelle and the Carter Sisters hired him as a regular on the Grand Ole Opry, making his place in Nashville's musical community secure. While he worked for RCA, he played on many hit records and helped fashion the Nashville sound. RCA appreciated his work and made him a consultant to the company's Nashville division in 1953. That year, the label began to issue a number of instrumental albums that showcased Atkins' considerable talents. Two years later, he scored his first hit with a version of "Mr. Sandman"; it was followed by "Silver Bell," a duet with Hank Snow. By the late '50s, Atkins was known throughout the music industry as a first-rate player. Not only did his records sell well, he designed guitars for Gibson and Gretsch; the popularity of these models continues to the present day.
Sholes left for New York in 1957 to act as head of pop A&R, leaving Atkins as the manager of RCA's Nashville division. However, the guitarist didn't abandon performing, and throughout the early '60s his star continued to rise. He played the Newport Jazz Festival in 1960; in 1961, he performed at the White House. Atkins had his first Top Five hit in 1965 with a reworking of Boots Randolph's "Yakety Sax," retitled "Yakety Axe"; in addition to being a sizable country hit, the song crossed over to the pop charts. Atkins' role behind the scenes was thriving as well. He produced hits for the majority of RCA's Nashville acts, including Elvis Presley and Eddy Arnold, and discovered a wealth of talent, including Don Gibson, Waylon Jennings, Floyd Cramer, Charley Pride, Bobby Bare, and Connie Smith. Because of his consistent track record, Atkins was promoted to vice president of RCA's country division when Sholes died in 1968.
The following year, Atkins had his last major hit single, "Country Gentleman." In the late '60s and early '70s, several minor hits followed, but only one song, "Prissy" (1968), made it into the Top 40. Instead, the guitarist's major musical contribution in the early part of the '70s was with Homer & Jethro. Under the name the Nashville String Band, the trio released five albums between 1970 and 1972. Following Homer's death, Atkins continued to work with Jethro.
Atkins continued to record for RCA throughout the '70s, although he was creatively stifled by the label by the end of the decade. The guitarist wanted to record a jazz album, but he was met with resistance by the label. In 1982, he left the label and signed with Columbia, releasing his first album for the label, Work It Out With Chet Atkins, in 1983. During his time at Columbia, Atkins departed from his traditional country roots, demonstrating that he was a bold and tasteful jazz guitarist as well. He did return to country on occasion, particularly on duet albums with Mark Knopfler and Jerry Reed, but by and large, Atkins' Columbia records demonstrated a more adventurous guitarist than was previously captured on his RCA albums. | {

Sick Ending, Explained: Who Are the Killers?
Pratik Handore

If you are looking for answers about the ending of 'Sick,' here is everything you need to know! SPOILERS AHEAD!
Sick Plot Synopsis
'Sick' opens during the Covid-19 pandemic as the United States faces a crisis. A teenage boy is buying supplies at a local supermarket when he starts receiving messages from an unknown number. The texts indicate that a stalker is following the boy. When the boy returns home, he is attacked by the stalker. The boy manages to subdue the attacker. However, before the boy can escape, the attacker gains consciousness and kills the boy. The film then centers on Parker, a teenage girl who is preparing to quarantine with her friend, Miri.
The girls drive to a remote lake house belonging to Parker's parents. Amidst the Covid-19 pandemic, Miri fears that her friend might have the virus, and they decide to spend a few weeks at the lakehouse to recover. The girls arrive at the lake house and quickly become comfortable in their new surroundings. Parker tells Miri about her experiences at the vacation home during childhood. She explains that the nearest house in the vicinity is 2 miles away. Therefore, they can enjoy some quiet time away from the madness of the pandemic plaguing the city.
On their first day at the house, Parker and Miri discuss their high school life. We learn that Miri disapproves of Parker's boyfriend, DJ. Parker and Dj have been in an on/off relationship. However, Parker is not serious about DJ. Meanwhile, Parker starts receiving texts from an unknown number. She blocks the number and ignores the messages, despite the hint of a stalker's presence. At night, Parker and Miri are alarmed by the sudden arrival of a mysterious car outside their house.
Parker and Miri are afraid when a man stomps on their door. However, it turns out to be DJ who has followed Parker and Miri to the house. After partying, Parker and DJ have an honest conversation about their relationship. DJ confronts Parker about a video in which she kisses a boy, Benji, at a house party. Parker exclaims that she and DJ are not exclusive and she does not want a serious relationship. DJ is heartbroken and decides to leave the house in the morning.
Late at night, DJ is alarmed when a masked man trespasses on the property. DJ wakes up Parker and asks her to hide inside the car. He follows the masked man inside the house and stops him before the man can attack Miri. DJ fights the man while Miri escapes and finds Parker. Before the girls can escape, the masked man kills DJ. Parker and Miri are shocked but team up with each other to defeat the masked man. Parker crushes the man's face with a metal bucket, believing their night of horror is over.
However, Miri and Parker quickly realize that two men are intruding into the house and targeting them. The second man laments the loss of his partner before attacking Miri. Parker escapes from the house and crosses the lake to seek help from their neighbor, Mr. Lyon. Meanwhile, Miri's foot is injured, and she is stuck inside the house. The first man regains consciousness and attacks Miri, while the second man kills Mr. Lyon and pursues Parker into the woods. Miri and Parker are separated and must rely on their own wits to survive the attack on their life.
Sick Ending: Who Are the Killers? Why Are They After Parker?
In the film's final act, Miri succeeds in killing the masked man attacking her. However, Parker fights for her life as the second masked man pursues her. Her only hope of help, Mr. Lyon, is dead, and the killer is ruthlessly tracking her. However, Parker sees a ray of hope when she meets a woman driving on the road. The woman helps Parker but needs her to put on a mask before allowing her inside the car. The mask makes Parker unconscious, and she finds herself back at the lake house.
The woman identifies as Pamela, revealing she has been working with the masked men all along. Pamela explains that she is the mother of Benji, the teenager Parker kissed at the house party. However, Parker infected Benji with the coronavirus. Beji died a few days later and her parents, Pamela and Jason (the second masked man), blame Parker for their son's death. Parker exclaims that she does not have the virus. The parents conduct a test on Parker, revealing that she is asymptomatic but has the virus.
Pamela reveals that the virus was passed to Parker through Tyler, another boy she kissed at the party. The family already took care of Tyler by killing him, explaining the film's opening sequence. She further explains that they had to kill DJ and Miri because they were quarantined with Parker and might have been infected with the virus. Ultimately, Pamela and Jason are the killers targeting Parker and her friends out of a thirst for revenge. Parker realizes that she is responsible for Benji's death.
The situation is a reflection of the carelessness of teenagers during the pandemic. It highlights Parker's selfishness, and it leads to her plight. Through the conflict between Parker and the parents, the film underlines the moral implications of one's actions during the crisis caused by the deadly disease. It examines a person's accountability and the need to hold people like Parker responsible for their callous attitude. Nonetheless, the parents killing the teenagers presents a dark and twisted opposite perspective on the matter, leading to a complex moral conflict that can only be resolved with the death of one side.
Do Parker and Miri Survive?
The film's climax hinges on Parker and Miri mounting one final effort for survival, while Pamela and Jason are hell-bent on killing them for the death of their son. Miri is hiding from their parents and tries to get help through her laptop. However, her efforts fail when Jason disconnects the wifi. The parents also realize that Miri is alive, and Jason searches the house for her. Meanwhile, Parker engages with Pamela. She creates an opening and throws Pamela outside the window, effectively killing her. Miri and Parker reunite but are forced to hide when Jason returns.
Jason finds the girls hiding in one room. However, their teamwork and clever planning help Parker and Miri defeat the attacker. They impale Jason on a skull mount killing him. Parker and Miri find a vehicle in the garage and try to use it to escape the house. However, Pamela, who survived the fall, attacks them. In the ensuing tussle, Miri empties a can of fuel on Pamela, and Parker sets her on fire. As Pamela erupts into flames, Parker and Miri escape, only to run into a horde of incoming police cars.
Ultimately, Parker and Miri survive the horrific events of the night and most likely learn their lesson about carelessness. While the girls are alive, it is unlikely that they will get off scot-free. Parker and Miri are responsible for three murders. Although the girls acted in self-defense, they do not have enough evidence to prove that the family attacked them. As a result, the legal implications of their actions could be seen as a punishment for Parker, causing Benji's death. Nonetheless, the girls surviving the attack on their life itself is a testament to the fighting spirit necessary to survive a global pandemic.

Citywide Coalition Launches WorkReady Philadelphia 2004
Category: PYN | Mar 1, 2004
March 25, 2004. Leading employers from around the region gathered today to launch WorkReady Philadelphia's 2004 Summer Campaign. The youth workforce development system of programs, which last year to exposed over 7,000 youth to professional opportunities and training, is expanding its efforts this year to encourage CEO's around the region to hire interns and invest in the future of Philadelphia's workforce.
Jon Boscia, Chairman and CEO of Lincoln Financial Group, hosted the event, bringing together current and prospective employers with program interns and speaking out on the importance of WorkReady.
"When we hire and mentor young people, we are making an investment in the future. It's an
investment opportunity we can not afford to miss."
Boscia, who co-chairs the WorkReady campaign with Mayor Street and School District CEO Paul Vallas, spoke warmly of Lincoln Financial's experience hiring WorkReady interns. "We hired 14 students last summer, and it was a terrific experience not only for the young people, but for our employees as well," he said.
Young interns also shared their experiences at the breakfast. Roberto Ortiz, a youth apprentice at Lockheed Martin Integrated Systems & Solutions, talked passionately about what this experience could mean to his future - and Philadelphia's . "This is a program that wants to advance the capability of the local region by providing top of the line training to high school students and graduates."
Monet Brown, an intern at Independence Blue Cross, echoed Ortiz's sentiments. "WorkReady gave me the chance to see what the business world is all about."
For Josanna Smiley, a WorkReady Internship with Dale Construction Company was transformative. "Before my last summer's internship, all I thought about was making money and how to spend it. WorkReady opened my eyes to see that work is just not about making money; it's about accomplishing goals and finding pride in your work and so much more . I get so much more joy out of going to work."
WorkReady Philadelphia exposes young people to professional careers in the corporate sector through summer and year- round jobs supported with funds from the City, the school district, foundations and employers. The WorkReady campaign places particular emphasis on developing new, employer-paid summer internships for Philadelphia students.
Pamela Crawley, Vice President and Director of Public Affairs for Citizens Bank, spearheads the WorkReady campaign in her role as chair of the Philadelphia Youth Council. "Last year we made a good beginning – we built a coordinated system that aligned public and nonprofit funding, and also created an infrastructure for developing unsubsidized student internships," she said.
Crawley underscored the importance of new employer-paid placements. " With the recent erosion in federal support for youth workforce development, we are looking for a substantial increase in the number of commitments from employers from across the City." Last year, Philadelphia experienced a 23% cut, or $1.8 million in funding for youth programming available through the Workforce Investment Act.
Corporate partners involved in WorkReady Philadelphia agree to provide student interns with exposure to career opportunities and support from professional mentors. Participants work 20 hours a week for six weeks and gain invaluable experience and job training needed to become tomorrow's skilled workforce.
WorkReady interns receive extensive workplace preparation prior to and throughout placement so that they understand the expectations and responsibilities of employment, and are ready to assume roles as productive employees.
The School District of Philadelphia is also an active partner in the WorkReady campaign. District CEO Paul Vallas underscored the importance of workplace experiences not only to employment success, but also to positive academic outcomes. "We know that young people who have opportunities to participate in highquality work experiences do better in the classroom," he said. "When young people understand the connections between academic skills and workplace success, then they find new motivation to do well in school."
City Education Secretary Debra Kahn, representing the Mayor, praised the employers for their support of WorkReady Philadelphia. "You are the core of this movement," she said. "Because of your commitment and advocacy, more young people will have the opportunity to work this summer, and because of your leadership this program will continue to grow."
In addition to Lincoln Financial and Citizens Bank, other employers recognized as "premiere investors" at the breakfast celebration included Lockheed Martin Integrated Systems & Solutions, St. Christopher's Hospital for Children, and the Philadelphia Coca-Cola Bottling Company. Major new commitments for 2004 have already been made by AmeriChoice, Comcast and NBC Channel 10. | {

Hey all! Im still here and just finished onboarding. Started Phase 2 on Monday. I had downloaded another spreadsheet to use the second time around. Filled in title page and used onboarding. Now I just skipped to phase 2 and the column for the dates is not there and the weight goal is not populating. All help appreciated.
Thank you Judy! Hope you are well. Unfortunately Im still doing something wrong.
On the title page, I filled in y for finished onboarding. and the other cells in green. "weight change goal" does not auto populate.
On the phase 1 page, I enter the start date.
On the phase 2 page, the weight change does not auto populate and I do not have a column for the date at all.
@kelley-o-spada Oh My - that doesn't sound like what I see on my spreadsheet!! You are using Google Docs, right?? Not excel, cause excel has some known issues with it.
It definitely seems something was entered incorrectly as that is not he behavior if the spreadsheet.
As Judy mentioned you should be using google sheets. You can share your sheet with me at [email protected] and I can see what is going on.
How is everyone doing on there spreadsheets? Anyone having any issues? Please let us know so we can help! | {

Sunday, July 27 is to be remembered as the 50th anniversary of the day the cease-fire to end the Korean War. All flags are to fly at half staff. 54,245 died, 103,284 K.I.A. and 8177 M.I.A.
I hope you will put something in your paper to let the people know because I'm sure that this will be last time we will hear about the forgotten war. Yes I'm a veteran of the Forgotten War. | {

The Pramzius watch brand is owned by the Détente Watch Group. We are a family-owned and operated business that has been importing watches from Eastern Europe and Russia for the better part of the past two decades. Brands we represent include Vostok-Europe, Sturmanskie and Tsikolia.
During that time, we have been deeply involved in the design and development process of watches for the brands we bring to North America. So, we decided to take that knowledge and experience and flow it into our own micro-brand of watches. We are focusing on small-quantity runs and developing no more than three or four styles per year.
We wanted to draw from our roots, so we chose the name Pramzius, which is the ruler of time from the Baltic pantheon of mythological gods. With this in mind, all of our inspirations will come from one of the eight countries that border the Baltic Sea. This will sometimes include Russia, as with our first offering, the Trans-Siberia pocket watch for the wrist. But we will also look to the rich history of many other regions that encompass the Baltic.
All our watches will be covered by a two-year limited warranty and serviced by our watchmakers right here in the United States. We will source top-quality components and movements, while at the same time working to keep our timepieces in the attainable price range. Our goal, as always, will be to bring something different for the wrist and watches that don't just tell the time, but they tell a story as well.
We have a history you can trust. Our oldest entity goes back to 1999 and we have serviced thousands and thousands of happy customers worldwide. We look forward to your becoming a part of the Pramzius family. | {

"As the years pass, I am coming more and more to understand that it is the common, everyday blessings of our common everyday lives for which we should be particularly grateful. They are the things that fill our lives with comfort and our hearts with gladness -- just the pure air to breathe and the strength to breath it; just warmth and shelter and home folks; just plain food that gives us strength; the bright sunshine on a cold day; and a cool breeze when the day is warm."

It takes a lot for the French to lose patience with their ageing stars, and Brigitte Bardot, an unabashed fan of the National Front leader, Jean-Marie Le Pen, was given a lot of rope.
Yesterday the free ride for her tirades against the decadence of modern society ended after two anti-racist and human rights movements announced they would take the 68-year-old to court.
Her latest outburst, a book called Un Cri Dans Le Silence, attacks Islam, gays, the unemployed, teachers and illegal immigrants, and calls for a return of the guillotine.
She says that gays are fairground freaks, teachers arrive at work with greasy hair wearing disgusting jeans and muddy trainers, and that "the professional unemployed" don't even want to work illegally.
She rails against what she claims is the "Islamisation of France", and after a lifelong campaign against the death penalty, she says the guillotine should be brought back for those who murder children.
The Movement Against Racism And For The Friendship of Peoples (MRAP) and the League of Human Rights said yesterday they would sue her. Mouloud Aounit, the president of MRAP, said: "We expect justice to hit her hard. We need a ruling which will dissuade and prevent her from making further outbursts."
The former film star, who once shook middle-class moralists with her libertine lifestyle, said it had been her intention to shock by "saying out loud what people think to themselves" - a phrase invented by Mr Le Pen.
Ms Bardot, who is married to a National Front executive, Bernard d'Ormale, was last interviewed by Paris Match, at her seaside villa in St Tropez and the nearby farmhouse.
She claimed that it was while driving between the two houses on her way to feed the goats that she realised that "the intrinsic and fundamental values of mankind no longer existed". | {

After two suspected ritual murders, in Nimba County, Liberia, tribal devils become detectives
Unfortunately, ritual murder are no exception in Africa's oldest republic. Experience teaches us that ritualistic murders in Liberia are on the increase during elections campaigns and when important political appointments are expected – which though does not exclude other circumstances explaining a rise in ritual killings. In the past four to five years, ritual murders have been reported in at least seven of Liberia's fifteen counties including Montserrado, Bomi, Bong, Nimba, Grand Bassa, Grand Kru and Maryland counties. However, the absence of discoveries of mutilated bodies or reports of ritual murders should not be interpreted as the absence of these criminal and outdated superstitious practices. By definition, occult practices and ritualistic murders take place in secret.
In the article below reference is made to a prominent person who held a very senior position in the Weah Administration and who allegedly is said to be implied in the reported case of two young boys who were murdered for ritual activities. It should be underlined here that this is not the position of the webmaster of this site (FVDK). Moreover, I uphold the principle that no one is guilty unless found guilty by an independent judge after an impartial, public trial.
The original article shown here includes a number of links referring to other, previously published articles containing relevant and related information. I have decided to also include these articles in this posting in order to avoid the (future) situation that the original articles are no longer available or accessible after they have lost been lost in cyberspace, unfortunately not an uncommon phenomenon.
All articles together sketch a reality in Liberia which is rarely shown but which exists. No use to deny or to ignore it. A reality of traditional practices and beliefs, a reality of cultural history including respect for the ancestors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it goes without saying that a 'war on ignorance and superstition' is a must in Africa's oldest republic, which was created in 1847 by African Americans.
Finally, my June 25 posting, Liberia: Traditional devils arrest six men for allegedly killing two children for rituals, refers to the same case.
Liberia: In Nimba, Tribal Devils Become Detectives
The suspects in the deaths of two children in Boe Bonlay Town, District #6, Nimba County.
By: Ishmael F. Menkor – Daily Observer, Liberia
…. When the National Police could not solve a double homicide in their rural community, the people of Beo Bonlay Town, Nimba County, employed the most unconventional means.
It was a breakthrough in a double-murder case that would have been written off as an anomaly except that, in the context of numerous unsolved gruesome murders across Liberia in recent years, police investigations have consistently come up with the same results as they did in this one — "no evidence" or "no foul play" — case closed.
But the people of Beo Bonlay Town, District # 6, Nimba County, would not take 'no' for an answer. In an unprecedented move, they summoned their tribal devils to confirm their hunch and solve what they believed were the murders of two innocent boys who had gone missing and later turned up dead in separate locations.
It all started on June 9, when the two boys, Handsome-boy Mahn, 9 and Zayglay David, 4, went missing after they returned from the farm in the afternoon.
Hours after their disappearance, the community launched an immediate manhunt for the children. Unfortunately they were found dead with their bodies dumped in two separate wells about 20 minutes apart.
The deaths of the two children sent shockwaves of fear and concern among citizens of the district, especially when the first batch of investigators from the Tappita Police Detail, led by the detail commander and the 15-man coroner jury, ruled that there was no foul-play.
But reports reaching the Daily Observer said an initial examination of the corpses showed that the boys' necks had been broken. There was also an alleged 'erasing mark' on the coroner jury's report, but this is yet to be verified.
"The devil", it is said, "is in the details." Or is it?
Unconvinced by the "no foul-play" conclusions of the coroner jury and the police, the citizens this time brought out their tribal devils to search for the perpetrators. It was during the search that seven men were arrested on July 16, and turned over to police in Sanniquellie for interrogation.
Even after the tribal devils arrested the suspects, the police (again) claimed that due to lack of scientific evidence, they could not charge the alleged perpetrators. This caused the case to drag on until September, when the Crime Services Department (CSD) sent another batch of officers, backed by former Ganta Police Commander, Adolphus Zorh, to conduct the investigation.
Commander Zorh's team was able to establish the facts and determine that two of the seven men be released because police could not find any evidence to charge them. The other five men arrested by tribal devils were charged by police and sent to court.
According to the CSD, Sanniquellie Detachment, Liberia National Police, the five men were charged with "murder, criminal facilitation and criminal conspiracy" and sent to the Sanniquellie Magisterial Court for preliminary investigation.
Initial confessions
Following their arrest by the tribal devils in the beginning, one of the suspects, Prince Karney, age 41, immediately confessed that they were given the amount of US$1,200 for the murderous operation.
He said he then hired one Zayee Winpea, 43, to kill the two children for the amount of US$300 and gave US$150 to Nenkerwon Mahn, an 18-year-old uncle of the kids, to serve as a watchman while the killing was carried out.
The oldest among the suspects, 45-year-old Morris Gonwon, was also promised US$150 for his role in the killing, which was not spelled out. Two of the seven suspects, George Sumah and Lawrence Sumah, were hired to take the victims' blood to Monrovia, while another suspect, Harrison Sumah, was the one who lured the kids with candy before grabbing them.
During the CSD final investigation, Morris Gonwon and George Sumah were released on grounds that there was not enough evidence to prosecute them. The five persons charged and sent to court are Prince Karney, Harrison Sumah, Lawrence Freeman, Nenkerwon Mahn, and Zayee Winpea.
Prince Karney is said to be the Youth leader of Boe Bonlay and coordinator for the "Friends of Jackson Paye", a political canvassing group. Jackson Paye is a former Deputy Minister of National Defense who has expressed his desire to contest for the Nimba County District #6 representative seat in 2023.
The murder suspects alleged that the former deputy minister facilitated the killing by giving them the US$1,200 for the operation — to get the children's blood, allegedly for ritual purposes.
However, Jackson Paye on Truth FM on Thursday, June 22, 2022 denied having any connection to the killings, describing the acts as barbaric, inhumane and uncivilized. He explained that the "Friends of Paye" want the law to take its course, ensuring the alleged perpetrators face the full weight of the law.
Traditional justice
It is not clear whether the tribal devils ever got to the heart of the matter to determine exactly who ordered the men to kill the two children. We may never know.
However, in cases where communities in Liberia have invoked tribal justice systems to supersede statutory law — especially in the absence of forensic evidence — statutory systems tend to give way. Especially in rural communities, law enforcement personnel dare not interfere with matters involving tribal devils.
In the recent past, such has been the case in instances where communities have risen up to express their dissatisfaction when their expectations of government have been egregiously dashed.
In November 2021, Lofa County, a powerful sect of the Poro Society, the Ngaimu, staged a protest, blocking the bridge that connects Bong and Lofa counties, to oppose the delay by the Supreme Court to decide whether Senator-elect Brownie Samukai should take his Lofa County senatorial seat, which had been unoccupied due to a disability imposed on him by the Court for nearly a year.
In response, the Deputy Inspector General for Operations of the Liberia National Police (LNP), Marvin Sackor, threatened necessary actions against any country devil protest. Yet, no move was made on the part of the police.
A month earlier, October 18, 2021, members of the secret Poro Society shut down ArcelorMittal Liberia's operations in Yekepa, Nimba County for more than 48 hours at both Mount Tokadeh and Mount Gangra, over claims that AML failed to live up to its previous amended mineral development agreement (MDA) with the government.
For ArcelorMittal Liberia, this was not the first time. Barely six weeks earlier, on September 27, 2021, the Poro masters temporarily besieged the operation areas of AML, halting operations for 8 hours.
But tribal or traditional devils are only one extreme of traditional justice systems. Liberia recognizes a whole regime of what it calls "trial by ordeal", a method by which suspects are made to undergo an often dangerous test to determine their innocence or guilt. However, while the United Nations has called on Liberia to abolish all forms of trial by ordeal, only the most harmful aspects of this system of justice have been abolished.

Lofa County locked down by "Country Devil"
(L-r) Cars forcefully stopped at the crossing point between Bong and Lofa Counties – leaving several business people stranded along the way.
By: Marcus Malaya – Daily Observer, Liberia
A protest against the Supreme Court of Liberia has resulted in the shut-down of the border crossing point between Bong and Lofa Counties – leaving several business people stranded along the way.
The protest, which is being led by the powerful sect of the Poro Society, the Ngaimu, is intended to oppose the delay by the Supreme Court to decide the fate of the Lofa County senatorial seat, which has been unoccupied due to the disability imposed on Senator-elect Brownie Samukai by the Court.
The protesters, who are all men and led by the fearsome, Ngaimu – the traditional name of head of the Poro Society in that part of Liberia – have blocked the road, halting the movement of people and goods between the two counties, while those who are not members of the society have remained indoors since the morning hours of Thursday, November 25.
"Ngaimu has set a roadblock in the village of Beyan Town on the Lofa side of the border. The action of Ngaimu is in protest of the Court and the Government of Liberia's failure to announce the Senate seat of Lofa County vacant since the Senator-elect Samukai has not been able to take the seat due to his disability by the Supreme Court," disclosed eyewitnesses at the scene of the protest.
The protesters, however, vowed to keep the road closed until the Court ruled on the matter – deciding if the senate will be declared vacant or not. And security personnel, some of whom are not members of the society, have also been dared to remove the roadblock, setup by Ngaimu.
The fear of the Ngaimu has also prevented the women from going out to tend to their farms, since it is forbidden for a woman to lay eyes on it – as doing so comes with consequences, traditionalists claim.
The eyewitness accounts revealed that there are more than three "Ngaimus" currently at the St. Paul Bridge in Beyan Town and there are more "Ngaimus" coming to join the others currently at the bridge.
The Supreme Court months ago denied Samukai's request for the high court to reverse the judgment of the Criminal Court 'C' at the Temple of Justice, which found him and two others guilty of misapplying over US$1 million in pension funds stored up in a bank account for members of the Armed Forces of Liberia (AFL) when he served as Defense Minister.
The disability includes the payment of US$173,276.05 as some portion of his share of money illegally withdrawn from the Armed Forces of Liberia (AFL) pension funds, for which he was found guilty of misapplication of entrusted property, theft of property, and other criminal offenses by Criminal Court 'C' with such ruling confirmed by the Supreme.
While Samukai made a payment of US$173,276.05, his two deputies Joseph F. Johnson, former Deputy Minister for Administration, and J. Nyumah Dorkor, former Comptroller, did not despite being found guilty jointly.
Samukai, together with Johnson and Dorkor, were to pay the amount of US$573,832.68 within a six-month period to avoid imprisonment, according to the Supreme Court mandate to the Criminal Court 'C'. It was out of the amount of US$573,832.68 that Samukai alone managed to pay the US$173,276.05, which his followers believed is the portion of his share of the money.
The Court then ordered the National Election Commission not to certify him until the disability imposed on him as a result of his conviction for felony is removed. The Court argued that from a review of the records, Samukai and his two deputies were jointly charged with the commission of the crimes for which they were brought down guilty.
The Supreme Court added that the restitution is a part of the sentence, as such; Samukai and the two others are to restitute the amount withdrawn from the AFL Pension Account without the permission or authorization of the soldiers.
History of the case
Samukai, then former Defense Minister, together with Johnson and Dorkor without any authorization, withdrew the amount US$1,147,665.35 from the pension fund belonging to soldiers of the Armed Forces of Liberia (AFL).
The three men were later declared guilty of multiple crimes including misuse of private funds and subsequently sentenced to two years in prison each, and also ordered to restitute the money within a year by the Criminal Court 'C'. The judgment was later modified by the Supreme Court after Samukai and the others appealed against it to the high court.
In the modification, the Supreme Court said it was suspending their prison term on grounds that, if they were to pay fifty percent (50) of the judgment amount of the US$1,147,665.35, which is $573,832.68, within six months period, which expired by August, 26, they would avoid Imprisonment.

Liberia National Police warns against 'Country Devil' protests
Headquarters of the Liberia National Police (LNP)
By: Tina S. Mehnpaine – Daily Observer, Liberia
The Deputy Inspector General for Operations of the Liberia National Police (LNP), Marvin Sackor has threatened necessary actions against any country devil protest.
He said if people are disenchanted, they should make use of the legal means rather than staying in protest to undermine the peace of the country.
"It is unfortunate and unfair that some of our people are using the tradition to undermine the peace and security of this country. Let me say this, article 17 of our constitution gives citizens the right to peacefully assemble and petition their government. So if you, as a citizen of this country, will use whatever political means or any disenchantment to undermine the peace of this country, I can assure the public that the Liberia National Police will use whatever force necessary to contain that situation," he warned.
Since the staging of a protest by members of the poro society in Lofa county to call on the attention of the Supreme Court to decide the fate of Senator-elect Brownie Samukai, traditional leaders have been accused of allowing politicians to influence them.
The group of men led by their powerful poro master, Ngainmu, on November 30, blocked the entrance of the St. Paul bridge that connects Bomi and Lofa counties to pressure the court to reopen the case of Senator-elect Samukai.
Sackor added that if traditional people have any disenchantment in the country, they should use legal means to get redress instead of blocking roads to cause chaos among citizens.
"There is no exception to the rule of law; our traditional people need to understand that this country is governed by law," Sackor declared. " Anyone – I am very clear here – that thinks that they have any other power to undermine the Constitution, trust me, the Liberia National Police will use every legal means to uphold the Constitution and the rule of law. So, I am appealing to our traditional people in Lofa. Handle your situation through the legal means. Any attempt to block the St. Paul Bridge, we are under obligation to make sure that the Constitution is intact."
Nathaniel F. McGill, Minister of State, also accused politicians of masterminding the protest and branding it as a disgrace to Liberian culture.
"I was watching Facebook live and I saw a country devil protesting. This has never happened in our country, it is a shame and whoever did that must be disgraceful," said Minister McGill.
Addressing the Ministry of information, Cultural Affairs and Tourism (MICAT) regular press briefing in Monrovia, Sackor reminded traditional leaders that they are not above the law and, therefore, any attempt to block roads, the police will not hesitate to act.
Meanwhile, the deputy inspector general has revealed that due to the increasing wave of criminal activities in the country, there will be restrictions imposed on motorcyclists.
He said a police investigation has shown that criminals are transported by motorcyclists so the Police have commenced the implementation of the no-go-zones for motorcyclists ahead of the festive season in Liberia, to avoid the transportation of criminals.

Poro Society halts ArcelorMittal's operations in Yekepa
AML train in motion in Liberia
Steel giant ArcelorMittal was forced yesterday to shut down its Yekepa operations after members of the secret poro society made an unannounced visit to protest against alleged neglect by the company.
The strike action, which is highly unprecedented for members of the highly respected Poro Society in Liberia, comes amid rising tension in the company's operating areas weeks after it had signed an amended mineral development agreement with the government of Liberia.
The agreement, which now awaits ratification from lawmakers, has been met with rejection by mines communities in Nimba County, where the company operates, over claims that AML failed to live up to its previous amended mineral development agreement (MDA) with the government.
Poro Society members, led by the Poro Master, shut down AML operations for more than 48 hours at both Mount Tokadeh and Mount Gangra and might likely last for 14 days, according to an insider close to the Poro masters.
The protest, which is the second in a month, is happening as county officials remain mute on the matter while they negotiate behind closed doors.
However, an elderly resident of one of mine communities has disclosed that the company, through its' Community liaison manager, has begun negotiating with society members to cancel their protest and meet on the round table to discuss issues relating to their concerns.
In a statement, the AML confirmed the incident, saying, "on early Saturday morning, October 16, 2021, some individuals wearing ceremonial traditional costumes blocked the main access road to the mining site of ArcelorMittal Liberia in Yekepa, disrupting business operations of the company."
"As a company that prioritizes safety and security, ArcelorMittal Liberia warns of the associated risks of unauthorized entry of individuals into an industrial environment and condemns such illegal action, said the statement from AML. "AML reaffirms its commitment to community engagement on issues around its operations as a means of finding a common ground."
Meanwhile, AML said while they respect and continue to support traditional and cultural activities especially in their operational areas, they disagreed with disruptions and acts aimed at causing fear among its workforce are unwarranted and undermine close working relations.
On September 27, 2021 the Poro masters temporarily sieged the operation areas of AML, halting operation of 8 hours.
There has been tension in Nimba County since the Government and AML reached a new Mineral Development Agreement to extend the operation to 2036, where AML stands to invest about UD$ 800 million.
The deal has so far been rejected by mining communities due to claims of past abandonment and negligence of previous MDA.

The following article was originally published on November 1, 2007. It contains highly recommended reading for the readers of this site. It was decided to include it in this posting for two reasons. First, it was originally included in the Daily Observer article on the two slain boys in Nimba County (on top) and secondly, because it contains relevant background information on traditional beliefs and practices which still exist in Liberia despite being outlawed for reasons which will be clear after having read the article.
Liberia: Trial by ordeal makes the guilty burn but "undermines justice"
Sassywood and Witch Persecution in Liberia – by Leo Igwe. To access the article, please click here
Igwe's article serves as illustration and is not related to the OCHA article below.
By: OCHA Services – Relief Web
MONROVIA, 1 November 2007 (IRIN)
About 50 people in the village of Klay, northwestern Liberia, recently gathered to watch a man apply red-hot metal to the limbs of four youths accused of robbery.
The man dipped a machete in a concoction of water, palm oil and kola nuts, held it in fire for several minutes, and then placed it on the right legs of the four suspects. None of the youths – ages 16 to 26 – appeared to flinch. They were deemed not guilty.
This practice known as 'sassywood' is banned under national law, but is still regarded as a legitimate form of justice by many Liberians. A suspect is subjected to intense pain and judged on his or her reaction – if the hot metal burns the person's leg, he or she is found guilty.
The UN has repeatedly warned that the practice is undermining efforts to improve human rights in Liberia as the country attempts to recover from 14 years of war.
Many legal specialists and human rights activists say relying on customs such as trial by ordeal – often harmful and even deadly – is down to the decrepit state of Liberia's judicial system. And many say not enough is being done to restore the sector, left in tatters by the war.
Four years after the fighting ended, progress in rebuilding the judicial and corrections system is "very slow", according to an August report by the UN Security Council. "The judicial system is constrained by limited infrastructure, shortage of qualified personnel, lack of capacity to process cases, poor management and lack of the necessary will to institute reforms." The report said most people do not have access to legal counsel.
Legal advisers in Liberia say the absence of functioning courts in most rural areas is due in large part to lawyers' reluctance to take judgeships there, as well as the lack of infrastructure for courts.
In the central Liberian town of Gbarnga in Bong County, 150km north of the capital Monrovia, residents told IRIN that trial by ordeal is the only means to adjudicate alleged crimes.
"If somebody is accused of stealing money, clothes, jewellery, food or other items, the best [way] to know who committed the act is to administer sassywood, which is fast – it takes less than 30 minutes to know who did the act," Gbarnga resident Johnny Bono said.
Users of sassywood believe the person administering it and the instruments used have mystical powers. Practitioners are paid in money or goods – up to 2000 Liberian dollars (US$32) per 'trial' in the capital and about a third of that in rural areas. Sometimes payment is kola nuts and a pure-white chicken.
According to a rights activist in Nimba County, the problem is that many people will submit to sassywood because they do not know it has been outlawed.
"Sassywood is very common here and most people believe that it is the only means of knowing a guilty person," said Dualo Lor of the church-based NGO Equip-Liberia in Nimba, 300km from Monrovia. "They are not even aware the practice is outlawed."
He group recently prevented the application of sassywood on a 32-year-old man accused of theft. "We have been trying very hard [to educate] the people about the danger of sassywood, but they just have not stopped it."
Some legal experts say it will be tough to stop if citizens do not feel they have a reliable justice system to take its place.
"The trial by ordeal in most parts of the country clearly shows that most people do not have confidence in the court system," Anthony Valcke, Liberia country director of the American Bar Association in Africa, told IRIN. "If people had such confidence, they would not resort to trial by ordeal."
"No amount of laws or government order can stop sassywood," Yerkula Zaizay, a resident of Gbarnga, told IRIN. "It is a tradition that our forefathers left with us. This is better than going to court. My late grandfather taught me how to apply sassywood and it is part of my culture so it cannot be easily stopped."
Gbarnga resident Bono said, "We cannot waste our time going to court. The sassywood is our courtroom. This is what our forefathers have been practising in the past and it has been working."
Lawyer Augustine Toe, head of the Justice and Peace Commission, a Catholic human rights group, said: "Sassywood undermines the justice system of this country and the rights of an accused are not protected. Our constitution provides that anyone is presumed innocent until proven guilty by a [court of law]."
Liberia's chief prosecutor, Tiawon Gongloe, told IRIN he had instructed all county prosecuting officers to arrest anyone carrying out trial by ordeal.
"We are aware sassywood is going on and this act is not only unlawful, but unconstitutional," he said, noting that 12 people were arrested earlier this year in southeastern Liberia for having administered sassywood.
UN independent human rights expert, Charlotte Abaka, said the government had to do more. "The Liberian government should take concrete steps to enforce the ban on trial by ordeal," she said, calling the practice a "grave" breach of human rights.

Nigeria: Killing people for money ritual is saddening — Oba Olakisan, Ogboni President
Posted on May 13, 2022 by Dr. F.P.M. van der Kraaij
The President of Ogboni Agbaye (worldwide), Oba Akanji Adetoyese Abudu Olakisan, is not the only traditional leader to raise his voice against the wave of ritualistic activities including murder which terrorize the Nigerian population. He is to be commended for his brave position and being outspoken against these cruel practices which have no place in the 21st century. (webmaster FVDK)
By: Sam Nwaoko – Nigerian Tribune
Oba Akanji Adetoyese Abudu Olakisan, is the President of Ogboni Agbaye (worldwide). He speaks with SAM NWAOKO on the widespread report of ritual killings in Nigeria and on how this affects the image of traditional worshippers in the society among other issues.
How does it make you feel when you hear the rampant reports of people killing others for money rituals?
I feel sad whenever I hear how people are being killed or slaughtered for money rituals in our country. I've always said that the major cause of all these is unemployment, most especially among our youths and government is to be blamed for this. That's why entrepreneurship skill acquisition must be made compulsory right from the secondary schools so that youths could be engaged and become self-employed at the end of their education. Secondly, as the adage says 'charity begins at home', parents must teach their children morals and let them know the evil effects of engaging in criminalities because our creator frowns at every form of immoral act. Since the greatest sin that a man can commit in life that may attract the wrath of God is killing fellow human being, why can't we run away from such sin and come back to God? So, the government should wake up to their responsibility by creating jobs for all our teeming youths either by encouraging them to be self-employed and give them a take-off grant or provide them with white collar jobs.
Do the reports affect what you do or how you are viewed in the society?
Of course, it has effect on what I do and want to believe it's not only me but to every other law-abiding citizen of Nigeria. If you observe vividly, killings and other forms of insecurity have generally made our country unsafe for foreign investors. So this is to tell you that apart from me, every other Nigerian has equally been affected one way or the other. For example, people are no longer safe to even travel from one state to the other. Our economy has generally gone bad as a result of this insecurity and killing problems. Today, people are no longer safe in their houses, on the street, in the religion institutions, in the farms, in their places of work as well as while travelling from one place to another. So, since part of our government's promise is to secure life and property of the citizenry, it is now time for them to have a rethink and wake up to their responsibilities
How would you advice a person who wants to do rituals for wealth?
My major advice for whoever that is planning it is to desist from such a dastardly act and never to go to it. Naturally if someone is very hard-working, focused, have trust and belief in God for the blessing of his handwork definitely, such a person will make it in life without making money rituals. Success in life is just a matter of obeying the principles of work and pray. Instead of money rituals, we should all wait for the time of God. It is only God that gives man wealth without adding stress to it. Though, it is good for someone to be wealthy because there is nothing we can do on this earth in the absence of money but one must not be too desperate for it. The love of money and desire to have it at all cost is responsible for all the criminalities and insecurity problem that we found ourselves in Nigeria today.
Sir, politicians are jostling for positions as preparations for the general election in Nigeria is heightening. What would be your message to the politicians and the electorate?
Our politicians must rule with the fear of God. Electioneering campaign should be centred on issues instead of personality. All elected representatives must not be self-centered but rather, the interest of Nigerians and the electorates must always be at their heart and they must make sure they fulfill all their electioneering campaign promises. Political violence and killings must be totally avoided in Nigeria if we really want Nigeria to continue to remain as one entity. Honestly speaking, God has even revealed to me that except we pray very well, and eschew crisis and violence, many of our political leaders may die before the 2023 general elections. God also told me in a dream that all the kidnappers, ritualist and human killers in Nigeria will meet their waterloo soun. and Nigeria will be a better place to live. You see, the major killer of our economy in this country is corruption. Therefore, our elected representative must eschew corruption for our economy to pick up again because corruption has now become a cankerworm that has eaten deep into the fabric of our society.
What solutions would you suggest to the government on the way out of the present bad economic and security situation we are facing in Nigeria?
I think the first step President Muhammadu Buhari's government should take is to genuinely create jobs. Our government must make sure that all our teeming youths are usefully engaged. Though the government can't provide all the needed white-coller jobs for everyone but they can encourage entrepreneurship skill acquisition among the youths by making it a compulsory course in our higher institutions of learning so that after their graduation, the government can make it a point of duty to provide them with materials/instruments as well as take off grant to start work.
If this can be done, our youths will not only be self employed but they will also become employers of labour and they will be able to utilize their God given talents positively for the socio/economic growth of the nation rather than using it in a negative way. So, all the nation's money that our politicians are embezzling can be use positively to build and develop these youths. So therefore, all we just need to do now is to make sure that corruption is being totally eradicated so that this money can be utilize for the creation of job opportunity for our youths as well as provision of social amenities for the people.
In the area of economy that you talk about the other time, the solution is also very simple and that is diversification away from oil economy to agriculture and other sectors of economy. You see, our government has relied too much on the petroleum resources for our economic sustenance in Nigeria. Agriculture alone can create job opportunity for about one hundred millions of our youths in the country if our government can encourage agriculture. Secondly, it could help in boosting our economy by the time we are having excess of foodstuff and become exporters of agricultural produce rather importing them. Again through farming products, many industries can spring up where agricultural produce can be branded and packages into another thing.
I also want to use this medium to appeal to President Muhammadu Buhari to as matter of urgency find lasting solution to the high rate of fuel price in the country. You see, instead of importing our petroleum products, the government should try and repair all our refineries in Nigeria so that we won't be taking our crude-oil to the outside Nigeria again to be refined and import back to us at the exorbitant price. So, I want to believe that if this can be done by the federal government, the current price of almost N200.00 per liter of petrol will be naturally drop to N50.00 per liter.
Talking security-wise again, Nigerians too should not leave the security issue to the governments hand alone but instead, we should all be security conscious by reporting whatever strange things we notice in our societies to the security agencies or any appropriate authorities as quickly as possible. Moral teachings and preaching's should be encourage among us so that everybody can know the evil effects of engaging in criminalities and the consequence of it before our creator after we might have died. As the Yoruba adage use to say 'charity begins at home' every parents must try and educate their children on the importance of moral and the evil effect of engaging in criminalities. Again children should be taught on what will come out of whoever engage in criminal act and is caught by the security agencies, they should let the younger ones also know that killing of fellow human being for whatever reasons is a very great sin before our creator which could attract very serious punishment.
Parents should also train their children in the line of creativity and handwork as tools towards attaining success and greatness in life.

Inside the scary world of Nigeria's ritual money pandemic
Posted on February 13, 2022 by Dr. F.P.M. van der Kraaij
In the following article a grim picture is being painted of the widespread occurrence of ritualistic practices in Nigeria, based on the belief in the supernatural, superstition, and with the main objective of 'getting-rich-quick'. These ritualistic practices may take different forms, varying from internet fraud to human sacrifice. It is being recognized that most ritual murder cases 'escape the headlines'.
Warning: some readers may be shocked by the graphic details of the heinous crimes committed (FVDK).
Teens arrested in Abeokuta, Ogun State over murder of a teenager girl
By: Business Hallmark, Nigeria
A few days ago, a video of three young boys captured conveying python in a travel bag in Owerri, Imo State trended on social media. The boys who were caught at Aladinma Housing Estate on January 26, upon interrogation, admitted to being Yahoo boys who got the live snake for money ritual purposes.
Stories such as the above, have become common in Nigeria where the belief in the supernatural is an integral part of the social fabric. From poverty to wealth; from life to death and everything in-between, nothing happens without a reason. And a new rave of money ritual is currently sweeping across the country's landscape, intertwined with the menace of internet fraud.
It's a world ruled by blood, sacrifice and death; a world in which young men, sometimes as young as 15, do unspeakable evil in the belief that money is made from performing human sacrifices, and for the most part, they escape the headlines.
Internet fraud, or simply Yahoo-Yahoo, took root in Nigeria with the emergence of the internet and its prevalent use from around 2005/06. It was when a new crop of big boys known as Yahoo boys began to emerge; young men who defrauded mostly European and Americans in love scams, with Benin as a hub.
But soon it spread, like wildfire, across the country, and graduated from mere posing as American soldier in Afghanistan, a widower in desperate need for life partner, etc, to full blown ritualism, hacking and fraudulent investment schemes, all of which are ecaplulated in a term known as Yahoo Plus (Yahoo+) or G+.
Fortnight ago, two teenage boys, Soliu Majekodunmi (18) and Mustakeem Balogun (19) were caught while boiling the head of a 17-year-old girl, Sofiat Kehinde, at Oke Aregba area of Abeokuta, Ogun State. They confessed to have murdered her for ritual purposes, an incident that jolted many Nigerians. But it's not an isolated incident.
About the same time, 32-year-old suspected internet fraudster, Afeez Olalere who was arrested by operatives of the Lagos State Police Command, confessed that his mother encouraged him to kill his younger brother for money rituals.
Afeez Olalere
"My mother took me to a herbalist who told me if I want to be successful in the yahoo business, I will have to sacrifice one life and that person must be a sibling to mine," he had said, revealing that his mother encouraged him to kill his 21 year-old brother which he did with the help of a poison.
According to him, his brother died 20 minutes after consuming the poison and he went ahead to harvest the required body parts while the remains was wrapped and headed to a mortuary.
"The things he would need to prepare a concoction with are his thumbs, his hair, fingers and a passport photograph, he narrated. "So, we went back home and thought about it, then my mother suggested that we use my younger brother since he is just 21 years old."
Stories of ritual murder have become weekly occurrence, driven by internet fraud which has become a whole industry, steeped in blood and human sacrifice. Some accounts of which are traumatising. In the East, there is an emerging ritual trend known variously as Okeite, Awelle and so on, in which young men, sometimes teenagers, perform blood sacrifices for money.
The deities, our correspondents learnt from different accounts, keep demanding such things as goats, cows and even humans as sacrifice, from time to time. And once one is in, there is no way out.
"Young people who are supposed to be the leaders of tomorrow now engage in unimaginable crimes just to become millionaires overnight," lamented Ben Bruce, former senator in a tweet at the weekend. What has suddenly gone wrong with young people who now believe that rituals involving human blood will make them rich? So many Nigerians go missing daily, and while many are never found. Some are found dead with body parts missing. We must work to stop this trend. The narrative that poverty and unemployment get young people into ritual killings must not be accepted."
Mostly at the receiving end of the menace are young girls who are lured with money and used for ritual through sex. The practice according to many accounts, is that the ritualists deposit their sperms into the unsuspecting girls who either become barren for the rest of their lives or rot away gradually.
"I have a cousin that was used," Ope Folorunsho, an artisan in Ojodu, Lagos, confirmed to our correspondent upon inquiry. "The girl lives at Alagbole now with her parents. She is just in her early 20s, but she no longer sees her period. Her parents have done everything possible, gone to different hospitals, to no avail. When they finally decided to seek solution in traditional way, they were told that she had been used for ritual and that she won't be able to give birth in her life. Her friends told me that she dated a Yahoo boy who bought her iPhone 11 Pro Max."
Another account has it that some would deposit sperms into women whose body gradually rot away as they make money. Last week, a twitter user, Afam, @AfamDeluxo, who has been raising awareness about the menace of ritual money in the Southeast, shared the story of a friend whose 18-year-old cousin, was used.
"During my bachelors night, one of my friends that did Okeite came. He paid for seven fishes which was about N40,000 and bought two cartons of Heineken. We where all drinking and I was surprised he had already paid for things which we haven't even eaten," the victim's uncle narrated.
"And it was about 11pm in the night. All of a sudden my cousin's sister left. I didn't see her until morning. She didn't partake in the bridal shower. When I saw her in the morning and asked her where she went, she said she went out with my friend that bought the fish. Summary of the story: My cousin sister is fighting for her life now. From one dibia to another.
"On the 4th of Jaunary when I went for a wedding in my villa, I told the father what happened on my bachelors night. That maybe they should find a good man of God to pray for her. The father said that one native doctor said that it has already gotten deep and that it will take a lot for her to revive. The native doctor also said she was used for ritual.
"She is currently in Kogi. She is just 18 years. I warned this girl not to go out unless she wants to go to her room or like to sleep. The plot twist of the whole matter is that the elder brother contacted the guy that used her sister and asked him to show him the way. The guy gave him N1 million and sent location to him."
Teens arrested in Owerri while conveying snake in a bag
In late January, the Osun State police command arrested two ritualists, Ayodeji Saheed and Tunde Obadimeji, who had allegedly murdered a young woman in a hotel. The hotel management had suspected foul play when the victim screamed twice and after that, no noise was heard again from the room.
According to the management when the two men were about going, they were asked to be escorted back to the room to see if everything was fine and why the girl they came with wasn't leaving with them. When they returned to the hotel room, they met the lifeless body of the young woman with vital organs already removed from her body.
Upon interrogation, the two men confessed to murdering the lady for ritual. According to them, it was not their first. They admitted to having killed as much as 70 women as they specialized in getting female parts and one Abefe Sadiq who pays them N600,000 for each part.
Asked how they get these girls, they said, "getting the girls was so easy. We lure them with money and fancy things."
There is yet another dimension. Our investigations revealed that some travelled all the way to Uzo Uwani in Enugu State where they bury live cow.
"They go to a place to go to in Uzo Uwani," a source familiar with the practice confided on our correspondents on the condition of anonymity. "When you go there, you get a form for $1000. And after that, the conditions will be tabled before you, which include burying a live cow. If you are ready, you proceed. Burying the cow will have implications, of course. It cannot be for nothing. Some other things that are more grave may happen."
Asked how money is made after the sacrifice, the source said, "The money doesn't just drop for them like that. The thing is that when you have clients, the client will respond.
"You know, what they do is more of binary. You invest money and they pay you back the money with interest, till they build your confidence and when you pay huge money, they will block you," he explained.
"They set up all these ROI schemes; these fake investment schemes. They front websites that are very neat. The victims won't have an idea that it's fake. Initially, they make sure they pay back the investments, most of them, even when they are broke, will borrow to make sure they pay their clients so that they can reinforce their confidence.
"They know that the money will still come back. If they pay 100 people for example, 60 will reinvest in a bigger way. Some of them start with small amount, the scammers will keep paying them back. With time, they will become confident that the scheme is real and probably take a loan to invest, then they will block everything and go with the money.
"The way they set up the website, you will never know they are Nigerians. They use UK phone lines, and most of them have mastered British and American accents. I think there is also an app they use to change their tones. So, when they speak to you, you won't know they are not British or Americans.
"If you go to their pages, of course, everything about them is different. They have foreign accounts. Those who don't have foreign accounts have people who collect the money for them. There are people who work as intermediaries. They accept money on their behalf, take their own percentage and send the rest to them in Nigeria."
Mr. Maxwell Odum, the CEO of MBA Investment Company which swindled billions of naira out of unsuspecting investors, among many other similar schemes, comes to mind. Yet, determined to find out more about this ritual, our correspondent contacted a traditionalist, Eze Gbankiti, who shed more light into the practice.
"Burying life cow is tantamount to killing a human being," he said. "I know some of my colleagues who accept to do it, but I don't engage in such practice because it's evil. It's not just a cow, some use ram or cat. Once you bury a live cow, ram or cat, someone must die in the family of the person doing the sacrifice."
The traditionalist further explained that such ritual can indeed bring money, but that there will eventually be consequences.
"If you do that, money will come to you," he said. "As with the Yahoo boys, they will get clients and the clients will respond to them. But it's blood money."
It's worsening. By many accounts, the ritual fraudsters currently recruit young boys who they compel to swear an oath of allegiance, as apprentice.
"Our moral values are perverted and upturned right before our eyes, even as an evil and quite frightening norm is being set as the new normal," lamented Evangelist Elliot Uko, founder of Igbo Youth Movement in a piece sent to our correspondent.
"Time-tested values of obedience, hard work, patience, diligence and respect, are discredited and mocked at, even as the new culture of get-rich-quick by all means slowly takes over our land. Every discerning citizen is scared of tomorrow. The values we are setting today as standard, will certainly destroy our tomorrow. We are unwittingly destroying our future by encouraging EGO NBUTE.
"All over our land, in recent years, self-appointed wizards, sorcerers and occultic masters, establish emergency solution ministries, where they assure young men and women, that drowning rams and goats in the stream, while bathing naked with Indian incense, perfume and coloured candles under the supervision of the Prophet or Prophetess, will turn them into instant multi millionaires in few months or even weeks.
"These Psychics and mediums of powers of darkness brainwash these hapless, naive and very gullible young folks, that their fortunes will magically turn around for good in less than no time, once these humiliating rituals are performed. They sometimes pressure their mugus to make promises of buying and donating cars in gratitude to the man or woman of "god", immediately great door of financial explosion occur in their lives.
"These have become an epidemic, overtaking mkpuru nmiri addiction, as the number one social crisis ravaging our land. They exploit social media to advertise their 'wonderful' powers, to hoodwink their victims. It's catching on like wild fire. The hard times we are in, and grave joblessness in the land probably accentuated the madness."
EFCC Part of the Problem
Though Nigeria's anti corruption agency, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has continued to present itself as fighting the menace of internet fraud by, among other things, posting photographs of suspected fraudsters on their various social media platforms, as well as routinely invading hotels in search of the fraudsters, our investigation revealed something different.
Many sources, including lawyers who have served as counsel to accused fraudsters and the fraudsters themselves told our correspondents that officials of the anti corruption agency routinely collect bribes and destroy cases of arrested suspects, which according to them, partly explains why the menace is not abating.
They alleged further that the night raids at hotels and the publishing of names of suspected fraudsters on social media are all part of media propaganda to present a different image of themselves to the public.
"EFCC knows all those things. What happens is that when they succeed and money comes in, often huge sums of money, the bank will flag it and EFCC will probe the account and start tracking the person," an Enugu based lawyer who has worked as a counsel for a number of the fraudsters told our correspondent on condition of anonymity to avoid being victimized.
"Of course, they know where almost all of them are living. Whenever they want to take any of them, they will just go there and pick them," he said.
"The point is that those guys make EFCC officials rich. It's a racket. Those EFCC guys don't even touch their salaries. Apart from probably NNPC and FIRS, that EFCC is the most lucrative agency of the federal government. I tell you, they even make more money than those working with FIRS.
"They have really damaged that anti corruption fight. If you go there and see what is going on, you will lose confidence in this country. What they do there is just plea bargaining. That's why, as they are arresting people every day, people are still jumping into it. They know that all they simply need to do is to pay bribe when they are caught. And that makes things cumbersome for those of us in the legal profession.
"For instance, there was a time we had some clients to defend. We reached an agreement about our legal fees, but at the end of the day, the EFCC people went behind, collected money and damaged the case.
"There was another case we had in Awka. When it was time for hearing, the EFCC guys said that there was no flight from Enugu to Awka. Has there been any flights from Enugu to Awka? The case had to be stood down for another one hour, after which it was adjourned to another date. It could be that the person who the case was against had already paid, so the EFCC could just be employing delay tactics."
Another lawyer who also craved anonymity said, "The runs they do in that agency is terrible. I hope that one day, someone will open that can of worms. That place is nothing. It is probably the most corrupt establishment in this country. If you work there for six months, you would have started riding any car of your choice. One Yahoo boy you get can pay you huge amounts of money.
"There was one day we were at a hotel called Ntachi, one G-guy brought a Ghana-Must-Go bag filled with money and dumped it inside the booth of an EFCC guy and afterwards, they all went up to eat.
"Those guys are more guilty than the people they are arresting. Forget all those media trials they are doing. It's just show. They are not doing anything there. The only thing is that when government is interested in a case, they will pursue it. Then if you are not complying, they will will take your picture and publish and then parade you up and down, just like what SON does to manufacturers or importers who don't settle them.
"They may bring your goods, burn it and bring the media to cover it. It's just nonsense. But once you are complying, you won't have a problem. Even if your case is already with them, they can take out the case file and burn it. They will arrange for you to even leave the country. Whenever they need your attention, you can come into the country again.
"That's why, sometimes, they will tell you that this person's passport has been seized, but you will see the person in the United States the next day. The rot there is nauseating. It's just business. They only take your case seriously when you are not complying. They use you as a scapegoat just to give the impression that they are working."
Speaking of the ritual practice that drives the Yahoo industry, he said, "From the ritual point of view, it's made me to be careful about everybody. I'm scared of human beings these days. The whole thing is just assuming the ugliest of dimensions. The one videoed at Imo State where people shit and eat it is sad.
"People can argue logically that there is no way ritual can bring money. That is true within the context of logic. But if it doesn't bring money, they won't be going into it. That you don't believe in God, for example, doesn't mean that he doesn't exist. His existence is not dependent on whether or not you believe.
"The ritual thing works for them, whether we agree or not. What I heard is that when they are done with that, they can command those people to pay them and they will comply. It's not unlikely that it doesn't work, because you see them making a lot of money doing those scams. And typically those who do those rituals are mostly those who make money in the business."
When contacted by our correspondent to comment on the allegations, EFCC spokesperson, Wilson Uwajeren, asked that the questions be forwarded to him in a WhatsApp message for him to respond. Our correspondent obliged, but he failed to respond after reading the message.

Liberia: a wave of mystery murders, disappearances and ritual killings
Posted on November 9, 2021 by Dr. F.P.M. van der Kraaij
The social unrest in Liberia continues. Reports of mysterious murders, unexplained disappearances and ritualistic activities continue unabated. Recently, I've reported multiple times on this site on the daily fear of ordinary Liberian citizens following the discovery of bodies 'with some vital parts missing' – an obvious reference to ritualistic activities – and after the discovery of victims of some of the gruesome murders which shocked Monrovia's residents. See my posts of September 30, October 1, October 4, October 5, October 7, October 9, October 22 and October 23.
In the article below Joe Teh reflects on the possible causes of the current wave of mystery murders, disappearances and ritual killings which terrorizes Liberians. Interestingly, the first possible explanation he gives focuses on the general and presidential elections slated for 2023. This is not surprising. Liberia has a bad reputation in this respect. Secondly, he mentions Liberia's open borders and the country's fragile if not outright failing security system as another possible cause. In this respect, it is illustrative that the National Police Director, Patrick Sudue, has been denying that ritualistic murders are being committed in Liberia – in spite of the overwhelming evidence.
So far, President Weah has remained silent on this sensitive subject. The reasons for his silence are unknown but this only causes the persistence and spread of rumors and speculations. This is not how to rule a country. The government must act.
This is also the plea worded by Joe Teh in the article below. His article is recommended reading (webmaster FVDK).
Police Must Step Up To Stop the Wave of Killings and Disappearances in Liberia
By: Guest contributor Joe Teh – Daily Observer, Liberia
For those who are quite older as I'm, I presume memories of sudden disappearances of people and secret killings have been flashing across the psyche of Monrovia residents in the past several weeks or months. The series of secret killings allegedly going on in and around the city are scenes very hard to process.
For impoverished people for whom there is no public policy response to address their poverty and other social woes, living from day to day, going out and hustling to survive is marked by fear and terror. Yet, the ongoing mysterious disappearances of some residents in the city and the unsolved murders in the communities are a brutal reminder of the "boyo" era in the southeastern region of Liberia, especially Maryland County in the 1960s and '70s.
In those days, individuals seeking higher positions of influence in government, or wanting to maintain power, were alleged to have paid middlemen to kidnap and murder people for ritualistic purposes. Vital parts and organs were extracted from victims to satisfy "juju" or voodoo doctors' requirements for a "powerful" desirous outcome.
The wave of ritualistic killings inflicted terror on the people who, for most part, must walk distances by foot to their farms or villages. You never know when a car will stop by you in a quiet alley or highway, especially when you are a lone traveler or two. "Heart men", as the heartless killers were paradoxically called, would either offer you a ride or simply jump on you and subdue you to whisk you away to where they can murder you and take your heart and other organs.
The local and central governments remained silent and paid deaf ears to the horrific pains and despair impacting the general population. The simple fact is that some of the key government officials were instigators and participants in such barbaric behavior. They had personal connections in high places, which made it impossible for them to be exposed to the public. Those were the heydays of the now decadent True Whig Party.
And the lesson from history is the biblical precept: Make sure your sin will find you out. And like we say in Liberia, "99 days for rogue, one day for master."
So came the time when heart men could not get protection from high places. The killing of a poor fisherman—Moses Tweh–in Harper, Maryland, exposed the likes of James D. Anderson, Superintendent of Maryland; Allen Yancy, member of the House of Representatives from Maryland County and son of disgraced Vice President Allen Yancy; Moses Seton, Wleh Taryonnoh and all other middlemen involved in the disappearance and murder of Moses Tweh. After they were tried and found guilty, they were put to death by hanging.
At the end of the 1980s, disappearances again resurfaced. This time, the victims were professional men. Each victim murdered was suspected of being either a political opponent of the government or perceived to be a supporter of opposition. No ritual purpose was suspected here.
Fast forward to the war and beyond. People were killed either because of their ethnicity or because they had been government employees.
During the time of the Interim Government of National Unity (IGNU), rebels' killing of civilians and dissenting fighters became common in the streets and neighborhoods of IGNU controlled areas.
The police, under the command of Brownie Samukai, set up a special unit called Rapid Response UNIT. This was an elite unit which helped crack down criminals and stopped the wave of killings and burglaries in the town.
Few other mysterious deaths plagued the nation during the Ellen Johnson and the current George Weah administrations. The suspicious deaths of Michael Allison and Harry Greaves during the Ellen era as well as those of the four auditors from the Liberia Revenue Authority stand out. Why and how those well-meaning compatriots died remain mindboggling. Their killers have not been identified, or are efforts actually being made to apprehend the perpetrators of those dastardly acts?
But the trauma of such murders lives in the minds of the public. Added to that are the sightings of corpses in different communities in and around Monrovia in recent weeks with parts allegedly missing. A girl peddling a small market was found with feet and hands tied in an unfinished building in Monrovia. Her mouth also choked with clothes. Another man allegedly said he escaped from his captors and that he witnessed the murder of a boy who was in captivity with him.
To the contrary, the senior brass of the Liberia National Police have characteristically downplayed these reports and blamed the opposition political parties of instilling fears in the public to besmear the image of the government.
Really? It's scary. If nothing else, the police authority's response is further undermining the peoples' trust in the security apparatus for protection. It is a flagrant disregard for history.
The police further said the corpses found around the city were dumped by relatives who could not afford to bury their dead family members. Isn't that an insane assertion? The police's continuous denial of ritual killings may encourage more deaths, because those murderous knuckleheads might perceive such irrational denials as a license to further kill. It may only exacerbate public panic as to where their country is headed.
There are two interesting facts why ritual killing is possible currently in Liberia. The first is the looming elections in 2023. Government positions are the most lucrative in terms of pay and perks, both official and unofficial. Most offices, without initiating programs in their sectors, bring zero balance forward at the end of the fiscal year. What have they done? There is no accountability.
The second is the unrestricted borders and weak security system. You can pass with anything, good or bad at the ports of entry/exit without problem. Just have your bribes in U.S. dollars ready and then literally anything is possible. With demand for human parts such as kidneys, surging in different parts of the world, including some neighboring countries, human parts marketers could be paying people to kidnap, kill and harvest parts for the buyers.
Like the man who escaped from his kidnappers at night, he said he overheard captors receiving US$12,000 as pay from the person who ordered them to seek and kill humans for their parts, like buying old, scrapped materials.
The third simply makes no sense. For example, why would people kill an immigration officer? Why would a man who is peacefully living pursuing happiness and serving God be murder; such as William R. Tolbert,III, son of assassinated President of Liberia? What has the son of former Liberian President Tubman be killed in cold blood? And the government is silent.
Our security system is fragile. Anything is possible.
This is why the police need to step up to investigate every piece of information about missing person and suspicious death. To merely brush aside reports of mysterious deaths does not help to boost confidence in the integrity of the security sector. Its net effect is to drive potential investors away. People planning to attend the bi-centennial celebrations in Monrovia, will also be scared away by these sad events.
In times like these, as in the late seventies, police need to act on every lead to find perpetrators of ritual killing in order to stamp out this evil act, so that people are safe to live in peace and go about their normal business. On the contrary, Police Director Patrick Sudue, sitting stone-faced in denial and then threatening a few law-abiding citizens, who are currently mustering the courage to divulge pieces of information about such heinous crimes, instead of encouraging people to convey more tips to the police, reeks of the obnoxious ineptitude and do-nothing syndrome that are spiraling Liberia into developmental doldrums.

Liberia: growing anxiety over ritual killings and the political fallout from the recent surge in ritualistic murders
Posted on September 30, 2021 by Dr. F.P.M. van der Kraaij
Liberia is again in the grip of ritualistic murders. An alarming wave of insecurity terrorizes the population. Reportedly, secret and ritualistic murders are being committed. The Liberia National Police is pressed by the public to do more. President Weah is being asked to address the nation and speak out against these heinous crimes, which are far from uncommon in Liberia.
In the past, ambitious politicians have been found involved in ritualistic activities including murder. The presidential elections of 2023 are still far away but politicians and their supporters are already preparing for a fierce election campaign. Moreover, on November 16 of this year, by-elections will be held in Bomi, Bong, Nimba and Grand Gedeh Counties to fill the vacancies in the House of Representatives following the election of Representatives in the Senate in December 2020.
The combined opposition – the Collaborating Political Parties (CPP) including the ANC, ALP, UP and the LP – has to come to grips with the internal battle for a unique, common presidential candidate for the 2023 elections if it wants to defat the incumbent president. However, its political leaders: ANC leader Alexander Cummings, the UP candidate and former Vice President Joseph Boakai, ALP's Benoni Urey and Grand Bassa County Senator and political leader of Liberty Party, Nyonblee Karnga-Lawrence, are not on the same line when it comes to a common candidate.
The ruling Coalition for Democratic Change is also far from homogeneous. The coalition is composed of Weah's Congress for Democratic Change plus the National Patriotic Party of warlord-turned-into-president Charles Taylor, now led by one of his ex-wives, Jewel Howard Taylor, currently Vice President in the Weah Administration, and the Liberian People Democratic Party of the corrupt and for this reason disgraced former House Speaker Alex Tyler. It is a public secret that relations between the Present and his Vice President are far from harmonious.
The foregoing does not pretend to provide an answer to the question why there's currently a surge in ritualistic killings in Liberia – assuming that reports of a surge in ritual murders are not unfounded. Moreover, as one newspaper commented, 'There is speculation that the majority of those who disappear perpetually without a trace are often victims of ritual killings.'
The Inspector General of the Liberia National Police, Colonel Patrick Sudue, has labelled the reports on ritualistic murders as fake news, accusing the opposition of tarnishing the good reputation of the Weah Administration. In sharp contrast, however, Vice President Jewel Howard Taylor publicly disagreed with him, pleading for an end to the many mysterious deaths that are linked to ritualistic killings.
Be that as it may, Liberia's human rights reputation, which wasn't that good anyway, is being further damaged by these reports of ritualistic and secret killings whereas critics of president Weah who accuse him of inaction will be more convinced than ever that he is not the right man in the right place.
As an observer of Liberian politics since the 1970s I'm afraid that this is not the end of the story…

Public anxiety over ritual killings increases; President Weah must address the nation and speak out on the scourge of ritualistic killings in Liberia
By: Editorial Board, Front Page Africa, Liberia
THE SPATE OF KILLINGS for ritual purposes is gradually assuming an alarming rate in Liberia with little or no effort by government of President George Weah to checkmate the trend.
OFFICIAL STATISTICS indicate that there has been an increase in the number of missing persons all over the country in recent times. Some are found, while others are not.
THERE IS SPECULATION that the majority of those who disappear perpetually without a trace are often victims of ritual killings.
ONE WOULD HAVE expected such acts to be a thing of the past following decades of civil war in Liberia which claimed the lives of over 150, 000 people, and made hundreds of thousands became refugees throughout the region.
BUT SADLY murdering people to appease the deities appears to be on the increase in Liberia.
THESE RITUALISTS hide under different covers to get their victims. For some, they kidnap their victims from various points, while others who pretend to be commercial drivers, pick unsuspecting commuters at bus-stop only to take them to their slaughter slabs to carry out what they know how to do best.
RECENTLY, the lifeless body of a girl believed to be in her 30s was discovered in Caldwell with body parts extracted.Till date perpetrators of the dastardly act are yet to be found.
A DAY EARLIER, another lifeless body of a man believed to be in his 40s was found in the Soul Clinic community. As at the time his body was recovered, some parts had been removed. They included his penis, eyes and tongue. Still, the perpetrators have not been arrested.
GIVEN THE RATE of increase of ritual killings in Liberia, no one is immune from becoming a victim. But some people are at greater risk. People with mental illnesses and virgins are unique targets as the ritualists allegedly believe that their eccentrics and purity make for a more viable sacrifice.
ALSO, PEOPLE living with albinism have equally become victims of ritual killings, fuelled by the belief that their 'body parts' could allegedly make one wealthy or prolong one's life.
IT IS DISHEARTENING to point out that as developed countries invest in science and technology to keep abreast with a dynamic world, Liberia is still stuck in the mistaken belief that sacrificing human blood is the surest route to wealth, safety, and protection.
IT'S TIME the government of President Weah play a more active role in ameliorating the negative impact of these dastardly acts?
POVERTY AND ECONOMIC hardship in the country are reasons for ritual killings. However, these are not justifiable reasons to commit ritual murder. Impunity encourages ritualists to commit murders because they believe they will not be apprehended or punished.
ANOTHER REASON for ritual murders is the collapse in our moral values, ignorance and superstition, and lack of an adequate punishment system.
WE SHOULD also consider poverty and unemployment as significant risk factors. If Liberians have equal opportunities to earn income legitimately, there will be a reduction in horrific crimes such as banditry and human killings for ritual.
THE HIGH INCIDENCE of serial ritual killings in Liberia demands an urgent action at the level of the government of President Weah.
TO CURB THE INCREASE in ritual killings, government should thoroughly explore the intelligence-gathering approach. Timely arrest and prosecution of arrested suspects would serve as a deterrent to anybody contemplating perpetrating ritual killing.
RECORD OF SUCCESSFUL prosecution of ritualists is not in the public domain. When there are no consequences for deviant behavior, it is incentivized.
THE CONSCIENCE of Liberians are being troubled by reports of recent ritual murders including that of those whose body parts were ripped out for ritual purposes.
LIBERIANS SEEM to be rapidly losing faith in the ability of President Weah and his government to detect and punish ritual killers, and it's time President Weah act to address the scourge in ritualistic activities in Liberia.
THE SOONER, the better..

A heartbreaking plea to political parties, religious and civil society leaders
Just where is our President and why has he maintained such a conspicuous silence in the face of mounting cries of the people craving the intervention of the state to protect their lives?
By: Staff Editor – The Daily Observer, Liberia
This is a plea to Civil Society, Religious Leaders and political parties, especially the Collaborating Political Parties (CPP), to act in concert and speak with one voice on the deteriorating security situation in the country. Every God-sent day is replete with accounts of mysterious and brutal killing of peaceful citizens apparently for ritualistic purposes.
This is also a plea to civil society and their respective organizations to become seized of the current situation and also speak with one voice on the current situation. From all indications, this government is failing to protect the people and this does not augur well for peace and national security.
We say this because there is an inherent danger in allowing things to deteriorate to the point where ordinary citizens begin to take action to protect themselves from harm. Judging from reports, it appears that females are being particularly targeted but in the face of such assaults against our women, especially, not a word has been heard from the Association of Female Lawyers of Liberia (AFELL) and the same goes for other women groups.
Religious leaders, Muslim as well as Christian, etc., have also failed to take up the issue as a matter of priority concern. Innocent children of God are being slaughtered like animals, but the voices of our religious leaders have either been silent or at best feeble. Just where are our so-called men of God in the face of such brutal onslaught against the children of God, one is tempted to ask.
More importantly, just where is our President and why has he maintained such a conspicuous silence in the face of mounting cries of the people craving the intervention of the state to protect their lives? The Police have not proved very helpful in the eyes of the public.
Such displayed ineptitude by the Liberia National Police (LNP) in addressing urgent security concerns of the people is leaving most people with the impression that the rise in ritualistic killings and other forms of violence is linked to top officials of this government. In their view, this is why such killings continue to happen despite massive public outcry.
In such situations, opposition political parties, religious leaders and civil society organizations are usually looked up to for help and guidance. But to the disappointment of the public, they also seem to appear helpless to deal with the situation. Whether their inaction is borne out of fear and trepidation, or out of a desire to ingratiate themselves into the good favors of the President, remains unclear.
For now, it is basically the media which has inadvertently found itself thrust into the fore to speak out on behalf of a seemingly helpless people. Their efforts are indeed commendable but grossly insufficient without the active support of civil society, including political parties and religious organizations. They cannot afford to wait until things run out of hand before they can muster the courage to step up to the plate.
For the past few weeks, the media has been awash with reports of the ongoing feud within the CPP, which has been touted as the last bastion capable of restoring hope of Liberians for sustainable peace and giving the people some respite from the suffering and hardships being experienced under the leadership of the Coalition for Democratic Change.
This coalition composed of the National Patriotic Party of disgraced and imprisoned war convict Charles Taylor, and the Liberian People Democratic Party of disgraced former House Speaker Alex Tyler, was hailed by its supporters as the answer to Liberia's problems, following President Weah's selection of Charles Taylor's ex-wife Jewel Howard Taylor as Vice President.
Under the rule of her ex-husband Taylor, Liberia became a pariah state largely as a result of runaway corruption and the massive and egregious human rights abuses committed under his watch by his security forces.
But those very vices that eventually led to Taylor's disgraceful exit from power and subsequent trial and conviction on war crimes, appear to have now taken center-stage under the current ruling Coalition. In the face of this, civil society, including political parties especially the CPP, appear to have their attention fixed elsewhere. The CPP, for example, finds itself locked in a bitter and seemingly unending internecine feud.
Whether ANC leader Alexander Cummings and UP leader and former Vice President Joseph Boakai will find common ground on the question of who has the popularity and political strength to lead the Collaboration to elections in 2023 is anyone's guess.
While Joseph Boakai appears to enjoy overwhelming support in vote-rich Lofa County, the same cannot be said of Alexander Cummings in any county including his home country Maryland. It may therefore be suicidal were he to quit the CPP to go it alone. And apparently he realizes this and such could be reasons why he has declared that leaving the CPP is a non-option.
Similarly, it can be said that it would be suicidal for Joseph Boakai to leave the CPP to go it alone. Both individuals appear hopelessly stuck together with each wanting out, but too timid to make the break for fear of the consequences. But the Liberian people cannot forever wait for justice, neither can they forever wait on the government to bring ritualistic killings to an end.
This can perhaps explain why there are increasing calls from the public for the reintroduction of the Death Penalty to serve as deterrent to would be ritual killers. They point to the United States of America, the foremost global champion of Human Rights, which still maintains the Death Penalty without censure from international human rights institutions. Then, why not Liberia, they ask.
And their point of reference is the 1977 trial, conviction and public hanging, in Harper, Maryland County of several individuals including a former Superintendent involved in the ritual murder of Moses Tweh, a popular folk singer, which put a stop to ritual killings in that country for a long period.

Liberia National Police Inspector General says reports of ritualistic killings, disappearances are fake news and intended to malign government's image
By: Willie N. Tokpah – Front Page Africa, Liberia
Monrovia — In recent months, reported cases of ritual killings have surged in Liberia, but the country's Police Inspector General, Patrick Sudue and his deputy Prince Mulbah say such reports are untrue and being fueled by opposition politicians to tarnish the image of the government.
Sudue and Mulbah, at a news conference Wednesday, disclosed that the police are only aware of a single ritualistic incident, which occurred in MaryLand County recently, adding the perpetrators are facing justice.
"People are being paid to tarnish the image of the country and to raise false national security alert. There are inconsistencies in their statements," Sudue says.
Meanwhile, Mulbah, Deputy Police Inspector General for Administration, described information about ritualistic killings in the country as a ploy designed by the opposition to create fear for diaspora Liberians who want to return home.
"As far our investigations are concerned, we haven't established anything called ritualistic killing apart from what happened in Maryland County," Mulbah says.
"We have heard a lot of people talking on social media of people being kidnapped and taken away, these are paid agents."
A rising number of mutilated bodies on streets in Monrovia and other parts of the country this year has sown fear in Liberians.
A day earlier, another lifeless body of a man believed to be in his 40s was found in the Soul Clinic community. As at the time his body was recovered, some parts had been removed. They included his penis, eyes and tongue. Still, perpetrators have not been arrested.
Liberians have taken to social media to raise alarm about the rise in ritual activities, urging commuters to always write down the identification markings of public conveyance vehicles as they enter and make phone calls to loved ones to pass on the information.
But Sudue said most of these social media pictorials and videos about ritualistic incidents are not a representation of what is unfolding in the country.
He warned those involved in orchestrating a negative image about the country to desist, or face the full weight of the law.
The rise in ritualistic killings has claimed the attention of opposition political leaders, who are calling on President George Weah to redirect every penny he intends to spend on his 55th birthday celebrations on Friday, October 1.
Alexander Cummings of the Alternative National Congress (ANC), Wednesday said the country is fast becoming a cesspool of crime ranging from these mysterious killings, armed robbery, drug dealing, and money laundering.
"This is in addition to the numerous past mysterious deaths of the auditors, the missing boys and other violent crimes that are yet to be investigated or the perpetrators found," he says.
"It is clear that our security sector is under-staffed, under-paid and overwhelmed. This can not continue. I am calling on the President to redirect every penny he intends to spend on his elaborate and glamorous birthday celebration, into the security sector. We need to empower our community policing and night patrol and strengthen community vigilante groups to work with the Police in each community. This should include the distribution of basic materials and basic training. We need to also investigate these crimes with a sense of urgency and bring perpetrators to justice. The government needs to get to work."
Grand Bassa County Senator and political leader of Liberty Party, Nyonblee Karnga-Lawrence, who's in the United States of America, said she would start a women movement against the ritualistic killings of children, mothers and sisters, brothers and husbands upon her return to Liberia.
Sen. Karnga-Lawrence called on all women to rise up and ensure that the serial killings are brought to an end. "The voices of women must be heard at every level, from the vice president down. This must stop, our survival is at stake and Liberia must be safe for all of us," Sen. Karnga-Lawrence says.
Dr. Daniel E. Cassel of the People's Liberation Party (PLP), whose secretary general, David Beyan, was reportedly shot by unknown gunmen, called on the government of President George Weah to address the issue of ritualistic killings in the country.
"This is the time for President Weah to act quickly and bring an end to the end to the rise in ritualistic killings," Dr. Cassel says.
Reacting to the reported shooting incident of Beyan, Sudue rejected claims that the PLP secretary general was shot by unknown gunmen.
He claimed Beyan lied about being shot infront of his fence when medical records showed that he (Beyan) told doctors that he shot by himself.
"I think if this young man would have killed himself, the whole country would say it is the government that killed him. He lied about being shot," Sudue says.
Sudue claimed a shell from a firearm was seen in Beyan's vehicle, which confirmed medical records that he shot himself.
After being thoroughly quizzed about the situation, coupled with medical proof, Beyan couldn't lie, Sudue said.
"He told us that he criminally and knowingly took the weapon from residence as far as 20 Street and then to Soul Clinic community to hide the weapon," Sudue claimed.
However, he said the police are in possession of a weapon by Beyan as he undergoes investigation at the Police headquarters in Monrovia.
"We will prosecute him for illegal possession of firearm and raising false alarm to security apparatus."
At the same time, Inspector General Sudue has disclosed that the LNP has increased its patrols in major streets and communities, and has begun vigorous search and inspection operations to combat crimes in the country.
He said the LNP will leave no stone unturned in ensuring that the country is stable and peaceful and that citizens are protected.

Vice President Jewel Howard Taylor disagrees with Liberia National Police Inspector General that opposition is responsible for reports of ritualistic killings
By: Henry Karmo – Front Page Africa, Liberia
MONROVIA – Vice president Jewel Howard has joined the many voices of Liberians calling for an end to the mysterious killings of Liberians and wants those in authority of the security to take action that would end the many mysterious deaths that are linked to ritualistic killings.
In an interview with reporters, Liberia's Vice President said, women in Liberia are feeling more insecure than ever before in the history of Liberia. She placed more emphasis on the mysterious deaths of women for ritualistic purposes.
"I like to call upon our security sector to please put in place a regime that will enable our people to remain safe. The situation involves instances where women's private parts are being cutoff, stories of young people being taken in specific location where others allegedly were being used for ritualistic purposes are very alarming."
The VP also expressed hopes that in this 21st century, it will be easy for security apparatus to discover and arrest people involved in such killings of Liberians for the purpose of ritualistic killings because these acts have far reaching negative implication for the peace and security of Liberia and the investment climate.
Madam Taylor: "As far as I know, Government's responsibility is to provide the peace and security of its people, that is why we have the different security apparatus of our country. If this was just one case people will want to wait but it is alarming; every single morning there is a report of a dead body somewhere.
"In a country like Liberia, such a thing that is happening should not be happening, so I believe we should call on all of our security forces to do more."
The VP also told reporters that complaints from the police and other security entities about the lack of logistic should not be an excuse, because that is a responsibility they have taken. "The police should be more vigilant if it requires bringing in the army, we should do that because it is alarming," she said.
She also seems to have a different belief to that of many, especially those in government, who think the alarming rate of mysterious deaths is a strategy implored by the opposition to make the state ungovernable for the ruling CDC.
According to her, such portrayal of what is happening is hard to believe because nobody will want to kill innocent Liberians because they want to make Liberia ungovernable.
"If an opposition or politicians do that, it will be ungovernable for everyone. If we are the sitting government we must now do more to make sure that whatever is happening will be brought to an end. This is a planned act carried out by some group of people."

Federation of Liberian Youth condemns series of secret & ritualistic killings
By: Press Release – Front Page Africa, Liberia
MONROVIA – The Federation of Liberian Youth said it is troubling the alarming wave of insecurity currently existing in Liberia.
The group through its President Amos Williams said the terrifying decline in national security is worrisome and needs to be addressed.
Mr. Williams said the growing waves of recent ritualistic and series of secret killings have the propensity to undermine the current and uninterrupted peace which the general population has enjoyed for over fifteen years now.
As a means of addressing the issue, FLY has therefore called on the attention of President George Weah including the Ministry of Justice and the Liberian National Police (LNP) to promptly act in addressing decisively the current state of insecurity by providing safety and security to all citizens and foreign residents alike in the borders of Liberia.
Mr. Williams at the same time encouraged all citizens to be supportive and attentive in providing any important information which can be used by national security apparatus in accordance with the growing waves of insecurities in the country.
In a move to practically address the issue, FLY wants the Government to acknowledge the issue of insecurity in the Land and address it hands down.

Security challenges in Nigeria
Posted on February 2, 2021 by Dr. F.P.M. van der Kraaij
This is the third posting in a row focussing the huge and apparently growing security problems which nearly 200 million Nigerians are facing daily. On January 30, I published Nigeria: curbing the menace of ritual killings in the South West and on January 31 I posted Nigeria: Insecurity: Government must keep its end in this social contract, says Ekhomu.
Nigeria's security problems have many faces. In the northeast of the country Boko Haram terrorizes the population and has disrupted ordinary, daily life. The exact number of victims of the jihadist terrorist organization which also operates in neighboring Cameroon, Chad and Niger, can no longer be counted. It is estimated that since the beginning of the uprising, in 2002, between 25,000 and 30,000 people have been killed, over two million people have been displaced, and a countless number of children have been kidnapped – girls for sexual motives, boys to be forcibly recruited as soldier in the terrorist organization which originally started as a campaign against corrupt officials.
The seemingly perennial violent conflicts between herders and farmers in several states also have cost thousands of people their lives. Furthermore, a countless number of people have been abducted by kidnappers, bandits and cultists. Moreover, superstition and the greed for (more) power, prestige or success are at the origin of the notorious 'money-rituals' for which Nigeria is known and which is feared by virtually the entire population, not only in the southeastern states as my posting of January 30 could suggest. Last but not least, 'ordinary' criminal killings, manslaughter, murder and extrajudicial killings by security personnel add to the many security challenges which Nigeria is facing.
In the coming days and weeks I will elaborate on the 'money-rituals' and the criminal activities of cultists, herbalists, witchdoctors, and other perpetrators of heinous, criminal ritualistic acts. If a government wants to effectively fight and eradicate this ugly, partly traditional phenomenon it will have to take the overall (in)security situation of the country into consideration.
The author of the article reproduced here, Femi Falana, SAN, is a Human Rights Lawyer and a recipient of the prestigious Bernard Simmons Award of the International Bar Association. In his article he explains the violent clashes between herders and farmers, and provides a possible solution to their conflict which basically is a dispute over land. Although the topic of his article is beyond the main focus of the present website, the article is reproduced here in its entirety, not only for a well-deserved respect for the author but also for information reasons as well as to illustrate that for every problems there exists a solution (webmaster FVDK).
Violent Clashes Between Herders and Farmers: A Legal Panacea
By: This Day, Nigeria – Femi Falana SAN
From 1999 to 2021, thousands of people have been brutally killed in herders/farmers' clashes in several States of the Federation. The mindless killings have continued, due to official impunity and negligence which have led to the virtual collapse of the security architecture of the neocolonial State. Hundreds of other citizens have been abducted by gangs of kidnappers and bandits. While some of the abducted people were killed in gruesome circumstances, others were released after the payment of ransoms running into hundreds of millions of Naira by their family members. The hardened criminal elements, have subjected abducted women to sexual abuse. Over 100 school girls in captivity, have been forced to marry their abductors. In spite of the routine assurance of the security of life and property of every citizen, the Federal Government appears to have lost the monopoly of violence to the criminal gangs.
As a result of desert encroachment, the Fulani herders have been forced to seek fertile land for grazing of their cattle in the middle belt and southern parts of the country. Since the State has failed to address the challenge of desertification, the herders have continued to graze their cattle in the bush. In the process, they graze their cattle without regard to State laws and the rights of the farm owners. In struggling to survive on fertile land, the herders attack farmers who resist the invasion of their land. They attack farmers with AK 47 rifles, which have been acquired to protect cattle from rustlers. The violent clashes between herders and farmers have continued, due to the failure of successive governments to revive the ranches inherited from the regional governments of the First Republic, but which collapsed during years of the locusts under successive military regimes.
History of Ranching in Nigeria
The point that I am struggling to make is that, ranching is not a new phenomenon in the country. It is on record that the regimes of Ahmadu Bello, Obafemi Awolowo and Nnamdi Azikiwe established ranches in the Northern, Western and Eastern regions respectively. The Obudu Cattle Ranch which was the oldest in the country, was established in 1951 by a Scot, but was later taken over by the Eastern Regional Government. The Northern Regional Government established a ranch in Mokwa (Niger State). In the West, there were ranches in Iseyin (Oyo State), Oke Ako (Ekiti State) and Akunu (Ondo State).
Under the Yakubu Gowon regime (1966-1975) , the Kano State Government headed by Police Commissioner Audu Bako, established ranches in the State. All the ranches collapsed during the years of the locusts, under successive military juntas. The famous Obudu Cattle Ranch has since been turned to Obudu holiday resort.
In 2014, the Jonathan regime decided to establish ranches in the country. A team of young people were sponsored to learn animal husbandry in Botswana, while the sum of N100 billion was released to some State Governments to establish the ranches. In a recent probe, the House of Representatives confirmed that the money was diverted, as not a single ranch was established.
In 2016, the Buhari regime also opted for the establishment of ranches, in order to end the perennial violent conflicts between farmers and herders. About 55,000 hectares were acquired in 11 States, for the project. The Federal Government also announced its plan to disarm the herders, and other armed bandits. But, instead of establishing the ranches and disarming the herders, the Federal Government has handled the violent clashes between farmers and herdsmen rather lackadaisically. The sudden embrace of cattle colony or RUGA policy by the Federal Government, was suspected by many citizens as a design to take over and turn over land seized from farmers to herders.
Clashes and Kidnapping
Even though the dangerous policy has been dropped, the plan to establish ranches has equally been abandoned. In recent times, the clashes between herders and farmers has been compounded by many incidents of kidnapping that have been traced to some herders. Owing to the failure of the Federal Government to bring the situation under control, some people have reported to self help and jungle justice. The various State Governments have come up with policies such as enactment of anti-grazing laws, and compulsory registration of all herders and farmers operating in forest reserves. The Umar Ganduje administration, once invited displaced herders in Benue and Taraba States to Kano state.
Instead of adopting knee jerk reactions to the crisis, the Federal Government and State Governments should encourage the immediate establishment of ranches. Apart from ending clashes between herders and farmers, the policy will lead to large scale production of meat which will be distributed throughout the country, and possibly exported. Ranching is working in Botswana, Mozambique, Kenya and South Africa. It has worked before in Nigeria. It can work again. Let the Authorities move speedily to end the violent clashes between herders and farmers, without any further delay. Let the Authorities adopt proactive measures to end kidnapping, banditry, armed robbery and ritual murder, as well as extrajudicial killing by security agencies.
State Governments and Security Challenges
A few years ago, armed robbers launched violent attacks on banks in Lagos State. The criminals killed many bankers, customers and security personnel, and carted away millions of Naira. The then Babatunde Fashola administration, sought the permission of the Federal Government to purchase and import some modern security equipment and gadgets. As soon as the licence was granted by President Umaru Yar'adua, the Lagos State Government brought in the equipment and gave them to the State Police Command. Armed with such equipment, the Police succeeded in securing the banks and other commercial institutions in the State. Shortly thereafter, about 20 well armed members of the Boko Haram sect sneaked into the State and concluded plans to launch bombing attacks on people, religious centres and schools. The terrorists were arrested and detained under the Terrorism Act, a Federal offence. The State Government requested the Federal Government, to try the dangerous suspects.
When it became clear that the Federal Government was foot dragging over the matter, the Attorney-General of Lagos State applied for the fiat of the Attorney-General of the Federation to enable him to prosecute the terror suspects. As soon as the fiat was granted, the suspects were tried, convicted and jailed.
In another development, the State Government faced fresh security challenges when another set of criminal elements embarked on kidnapping school children and other innocent people. Again, with the acquisition of more sophisticated equipment by the Lagos State Government, the Police Command has frontally attacked the crisis and brought the situation under control. About three years ago, the Inspector-General of Police Monitoring Unit recently arrested a billionaire kidnap suspect, Mr. Chukwudimene Onwuamadike (a.k.a Evans). The suspect was alleged to have specialised in extorting millions of dollars and other foreign currencies, from victims of his criminal enterprise. At the end of the Police investigation, the Lagos State Government took over the matter and has since charged the suspect and his cohorts with armed robbery and kidnapping, before the Lagos high court.
Before then, the Ondo State Government had invoked its sovereign powers to deal with the challenge of insecurity. On September 21, 2015, Chief Olu Falae, a former Secretary to the Federal Government was kidnapped by a gang of kidnappers on his farm at Ago Abo in the outskirts of Akure, Ondo State. The criminals demanded a ransom of N100 million, for his release. President Muhammadu Buhari who was embarrassed by the report of the incident, directed the Inspector-General of Police to rescue Chief Falae without further delay. The Chief regained his freedom three days later, after the payment of an undisclosed ransom. The seven kidnap suspects (Abubakar Auta, Bello Jannu, Umaru Ibrahim, Masahudu Mohammed, Idris Lawal, Abdulkadir Umar and Babawo Kato) were arrested and paraded by the Police at Abuja, in the Federal Capital Territory.
As soon as the investigation was concluded by the Police Headquarters, the then Ondo State Government decided to take over the case in exercise its constitutional powers. Since the case had disclosed that the offence of kidnapping was committed in Ondo State, the then State Attorney-General, Mr. Tayo Jegede, SAN requested the Police to transfer the suspects to Akure, together with the case file and the exhibits recovered during the investigation of the case. As soon as the suspects were brought to Akure, they were charged with conspiracy and kidnapping before the Ondo State High Court. At the end of the marathon trial, the presiding Judge, the Honourable Justice Williams Olamide found the Defendants guilty as charged, convicted and sentenced them to life imprisonment.
No doubt, by prosecuting the dangerous kidnappers and armed robbers, both Attorneys-General of Lagos and Ondo States have demonstrated that State Governments are not encumbered from maintaining law and order in their areas of jurisdiction. It is my strong belief that it is the failure of other Attorneys-General to enforce relevant criminal and penal codes, that has led to a breakdown of law in several States of the Federation. Even though hundreds of suspects have been arrested in several parts of the country by the combined teams of Police and Army personnel for abducting several people including children, they have not been brought to book by the Attorneys-General of the affected States. Majority of critics who are not aware that it is the exclusive constitutional responsibility of State Attorneys-General to prosecute suspects indicted for the offences of kidnapping, armed robbery and culpable homicide, have continued to blame the Federal Government for not prosecuting herders who have been arrested by security agencies.
Welfare of the People
Since a country cannot be secured by a Government that is not prepared to attend to the welfare of the people, the Constitution has outlined the socioeconomic rights of the people and embodied them in Chapter two of the Constitution. The said socioeconomic rights are otherwise called, the Fundamental Objectives and Directive Principles of State Policy. Even though the ruling class has made them not justiciable, the workers in alliance with other progressive civil society organisations have compelled the Government to enact a number of laws to promote the welfare of the people. But, the welfare laws have not been implemented due to alleged lack of ,funds in spite of the nation's enormous wealth. On account of the failure of the Government to fund welfare programmes, Nigeria is said to have the largest number of poor people in the world.
The economic paradox has been fuelled by large scale looting of public funds, by the ruling class. Most of the problems at the root of insecurity in Nigeria, are traceable to the implementation of neoliberal policies imposed on the nation by imperialism. Over 25 million young people including university graduates, are in the unemployment market. In addition to that figure, there are over 10 million children of school age who are roaming the streets, which is said to be the highest figure in the world. Not unexpectedly, such street kids are easily recruited by terrorists, bandits and other criminal gangs to unleash mayhem on the people. The hijack of the recent #EndSARS protests by hoodlums and other criminal elements, has confirmed that the nation is sitting on a keg of gunpowder.
Since armed robbery, kidnapping and murder or culpable homicide are State offences, we have pointed out that State Governments ought to be blamed for failing to end impunity, by prosecuting the herders and other criminal suspects arrested and indicted for kidnapping and killing of innocent people. Instead of engaging in ethnic profiling, concerned citizens should be organised to prevail on the Federal and State Governments to discharge their constitutional duty of protecting the life and property of every citizen. The Governments should also be compelled to put an end to the perennial violent conflicts between farmers and herders, which have needlessly claimed many lives and the destruction of properties worth several billions of Naira in many States of the Federation. As a matter of urgency, herders and bandits should be disarmed by the Federal Government. Having embraced ranching as a permanent solution to the clashes between herders and farmers, the Federal Government and State Governments should proceed to establish ranches in a number of States.

Nigeria: ritual killings on the increase
It's no surprise to me to read that ritual killings in Nigeria – usually referred to as 'money rituals' – are rampant and on the increase. I frequently report on these crimes in Africa's most populated country. Esther Onyegbula, the author of the article below expresses her disgust while presenting a frightening number of ritualistic murder cases, some of which have been reported earlier on this site.
Her article makes it clear that ritual murders are a plague in Nigeria, in virtually every corner of the country, but notably in the western and eastern states. Moreover, after reading her story, one is convinced that even though in some cases the authorities uphold the rule of law, in many cases the police fail to apprehend the perpetrators of these heinous acts.
Isn't it time to wage a full-scale war against the criminals who slaughter innocent citizens in order to gain wealth or prestige, and against ignorance, the root cause of all superstition?
Weird world of money ritualists
By: Vanguard Nigeria – Esther Onjegbula
In the last two years, ritual killings have been on the increase.
Although ritual crimes cut across almost all regions in the country, they are more pronounced in western and eastern states of Nigeria.
Every week, there are reports of one ritual killing or the other.
Some suspects are arrested and prosecuted while others arrested are not prosecuted as investigations are marred by lack of evidence or police compromise.
Last month, newspapers were awash with reports of how Favour Daley-Oladele, a final year student of Lagos State University, LASU, who went missing on December 8, 2019, was killed allegedly by her boyfriend, Adeeko Owolabi, who was said to have connived with a self-acclaimed pastor, for ritual purpose in Osun State.
Owolabi and his mother allegedly engaged 'Pastor' Segun Philips to end Favour's life in a gruesome manner. The boyfriend allegedly tricked the victim from Lagos to Ikoyi-Ile, Osun State with the promise that he wanted her to meet his parents to approve their relationship.
But unknown to Favour, she was on her last journey on earth as she was led to the church where her head was smashed with a pestle allegedly by Owolabi and butchered by the 'pastor', who later removed her vital parts for money ritual.
Narrating how he killed the victim, Owolabi said, "I lured the deceased to Ikoyi-Ile and lodged her in a hotel before killing her. After I lodged her in a guest house, I took her to a house which I claimed to be my uncle's house, but knowing that the place was a den of ritualists. "I smashed a pestle on her head and she collapsed. The prophet thereafter used a knife and cutlass to dismember her body which was divided into breasts, head and legs and other vital parts. "We buried the remaining parts of her body beside Prophet Philip's Church called 'Solution Salvation Chapel', while some vital parts were given to my mother to eat for spiritual cleansing".
Owolabi isn't the first young man who has been arrested for killing his lover in recent past. In 2018, Seidu Adeyemi killed and buried his girlfriend, Khadijat Oluboyo, the daughter of a former Deputy Governor of Ondo State, Mr Lasisi Oluboyo. Adeyemi murdered Khadijat, a student of Adekunle Ajasin University, after inviting her to his house in July 2018. After the killing, Adeyemi buried the deceased in his room for five days before he was exposed by his father who reported to the police.
At Ologbo, Ikpoba Okha local government area of Edo State in November 2018, a teenager, Akpobome Samuel, allegedly strangled his mother to death and had sex with her corpse for ritual.
According to Samuel, who was paraded by the police, "I acted on the instructions of a witch doctor who I contracted for money ritual. "The voodoo doctor told me that after killing my mother, I should sleep with her corpse in order to get rich. "That is why I complied with his instruction and killed her. "I was caught by my grandmother who came to knock on the door having waited patiently for my mother to accompany her to church. She caught me having sex with my mother. "The native doctor told me to kill my mother and sleep with her corpse, but he did not tell me the number of days to sleep with her. "He told me to keep her dead body inside the room for two days but I was caught when I could no longer keep it.
"I did not know that my grandmother was sitting outside. She opened the door and sighted me on the corpse inside the room and raised the alarm that drew the attention of neighbours. "My mother did not offend me. I killed her because of money".
Apart from people using their loved ones for ritual, there are instances where innocent persons have been used for ritual purposes by people they didn't know.
Recently, there was an allegation by some residents of Kwara State that some policemen in Adewole Police Division, Ilorin had been selling suspects detained at the station to ritual killers for N 80, 000 per person. Although the state Commissioner of Police, Lawan Ado, said the allegation was false, the state Police Command redeployed policemen at the station. Ado added that no one had come forward with information to indict any police officer at the station for selling suspects to ritual killers. "But we have been redeploying the policemen there. More than half of them have now been transferred and, soon, the other half will be redeployed so that even if there is anybody who is involved – which no information has established – we will at least remove him from the area."
But a frightening dimension was recorded in suspected cases of ritual killing in Ilorin last year when commercial motorcycle operators allegedly became targets of alleged ritualists. Motorcyclists were said to have been lured into the Government Reservation Area (GRA) of the town by ritualists posing as passengers only to be mowed down by members of the group.
Apart from the commercial motorcyclists, no fewer than six women were killed by suspected ritualists in the area and their breasts removed.
In July 2019, a young man was caught at Corporation Estate, Mile 12, Lagos after he allegedly murdered a commercial sex worker and removed her private part.
Back to Ondo State, the killing of an 80-year-old woman, Mrs. Kojusola Mogaji, in Arigidi-Akoko, created panic in the community. It incident got so scary so much so that Oba Yisa Olanipekun and the entire community embarked on interdenominational prayers and fasting, traditional rites while a vigilante group was raised to unravel ritual killings in the area.
Even the dead are not spared
It is not only the living that are gruesomely murdered and body parts harvested for ritual; the dead are also not allowed to rest in their graves as suspected ritual killers and skull miners exhume remains of dead people which are prepared for ritual.
Three young men, who were arrested by the Oyo State Police Command for being in possession of fresh human parts, confessed that their unbridled desires to get rich quick prompted them to get the body parts for money ritual.
The state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Abiodun Odude, said the suspects were arrested after a tip-off by a member of the public. Odude added that the suspects confessed to have removed the body parts from corpses at a Muslim cemetery in Isale General Area of Ogbomoso.
One of the suspects claimed this was his first attempt at using human parts for money ritual.
Another said: "We went to Isale General at Ogbomoso to exhume the bodies at about 8p.m. On our way back, two inquisitive boys, who accosted us on the road, demanded to know where the offensive odour was from. "We tried to deceive them, but they were insistent. So we had to run. They caught one of us before the police arrested us at our homes. "We wanted to use the parts for money ritual. If we had succeeded in taking the corpses to our place, we would have dried and burnt them. "After burning the parts, we will grind the same to powdery substance and mix some of it with soap to take our bath in the morning and to take pap at night. "After we would have done this, some weird creatures, who we generally call demons, will bring money to us — usually at night."
In another case reported in November 2019, a cemetery vault builder, Kazim Olarewaju, who worked at Okesuna Cemetery, Adeniji Adele area of Lagos island, revealed that he sold two human skulls for N12, 000. Olarewaju, who was arrested by policemen attached to Adeniji Adele Division, alongside two other suspects, Muritala Salami and Amidu Kazeem, explained that this was the second time he was trading in human parts.
Narrating how he got involved in the act, Olarenwaju said, "I work at Okesuna Cemetery. In September, Mr Muritala Salami and his relatives came to the cemetery to bury a relative. "After the burial, he said I should help him to get a biscuit. I told him I didn't know what he was talking about. He said it was a human skull. "I told him immediately I couldn't. He collected my telephone number and left but continued to call me till I bulged. "Initially, I asked him to come to the cemetery and take it himself. When he came, I helped him to take the bag outside the cemetery gate so that security guards won't suspect anything. "The first time he paid me 12,000 for two skulls. "Last week he called me again and I told him to steer clear but he kept threatening me till I agreed to help him get two more human skulls. "It was while I was taking delivery of his order that I was arrested by the police." Explaining further, Kasim said, "I started working at the cemetery two years ago and I have never been involved in a thing like this before I met Muritala".
Explaining what he was doing with human skulls, Salami, who said he was a dealer in herbal preparation, said he used them to make charms to enable him get more clients. "I grind the dried human skulls, mix it with pepper and take it with local gin first thing in the morning. Before I began to do this, I was making about N30, 000 daily but afterwards I began to make between N80,000 and N100,000"
Confirming the arrest, spokesperson for Lagos State Police Command, DSP Bala Elkana, said the investigation was ongoing and that the suspects will be charged to court.
From the foregoing, it would appear that native doctors, fake pastors, Muslim clerics and cemetery workers usually work with suspects in the business of ritual killing.
Worried by the spate of ritual killings and bodies' exhumation from graveyards, then-Assistant Inspector General of Police in Charge of Zone 2, AIG Lawal Shehu, declared war on native doctors and human parts' dealers in Lagos and Ogun states. Shehu said each time suspects were apprehended, they usually claimed they were herbalists, adding that some native doctors were aiding and abating the practice. He made the declaration after four suspects, identified as Lukmon Bayewunmi, Kabir Badmus, Victor Nnacheta and Nurudeen Sogaolu, were arrested with dried human jaw and scalp.
Meanwhile, the police have been accused of compromise on some cases of ritual killing.
For instance during the tenure of CP Imohimi Edgal as Commissioner of Police in Lagos State, precisely in August 2018, two suspected ritualists, Folake Falade and Emmanuel Gbenga were arrested under the Cele Nicer Bridge, Ijanikin, by the police.
Folake, who was almost lynched by an irate mob, said she had been there (Cele Nicer Bridge) for nine years and that her business was to sell human parts to ready buyers. She said her customers usually parked on the bridge at night with their vehicles bonnets opened, pretending that their vehicles had one fault or the other, but unknown to people that they were waiting to buy human parts. According to her, her boys would be beneath the vehicles pretending to be carrying out repairs to douse any suspicion and, in the process, hand over nylon bags containing human parts to the clients.
A resident, Lawrence Oke, claimed that Folake revealed that "whenever she failed to find preys to meet the demands of clients, she would dress seductively and head to a nearby hotel at night". Oke went on, "Any man that picked her for the night would become prey as he would end up in her den where his body parts would be harvested and sold off to waiting clients."
The resident further narrated that Folake confessed that she had boys that worked for her.
He added, "She said that once her hands touched someone, that person would lose his senses and follow her sheepishly."
However, despite what many believed was compelling evidence against the suspect and initial police stand, nothing was heard about the case after the arrest.
Meanwhile, the belief that invoking spirits or demons can bring cash after performing some rituals obviously is what is fuelling ritual killings in parts of the country.

Nigeria: 'Amotekun should fight ritual killings and traditional corruption', says the Oluwo of Iwoland, Oba Abdulrosheed Adewale Akanbi
Posted on January 30, 2020 by Dr. F.P.M. van der Kraaij
It is not the first time that the Oluwo of Iwoland, Oba Abdulrosheed Adewale Akanbi speaks out against ritual killings in his country, disapproving and criticizing politicians and traditional rulers. See e.g. my August 21, 2019 posting entitled 'Nigeria: Oluwo to lead protest against ritual killings, corruption'. Recently, he again raised his voice. Read below what he said. The Oluwo is to be commended for his frankness and courage. I sincerely hope that he will be heard. Nigeria is Africa's most populated country. It ranks in the top 5 of African countries where ritualistic murders are committed on a regular basis.
'Operation Amotekun' is the codename for the establishment of the Western Nigeria Security Network (WNSN). Recently, the Federal Government and the six governors of the region (Western Nigeria) reached agreement on the establishment of the WNSN, see: 'Amotekun: Buhari, Osinbajo's intervention smoothens rough edges', published on January 29, 2020 by Muritala Ayinla in the New Telegraph, Nigeria (see below).

Amotekun should fight ritual killings, 'traditional corruption'—Oluwo
By: Daily Trust, Nigeria
The Oluwo of Iwoland Oba, (Dr.) Abdulrosheed Adewale Akanbi, on Wednesday called on Yoruba stakeholders to use the regional security outfot codenamed Amotekun to checkmate what he called the incessant traditional corruption and ritual killings.
The royal father said politicians should be held responsible for trading their game with kidnapping.
In a statement by his press secretary, Alli Ibraheem, Oluwo said: "Amotekun as an institution should be made to fight traditional corruption most especially ritual killings consuming our children's blood daily. There is blood of innocent people in the street. It is a failure on the part of government, traditional institution and other stakeholders that no severe legislation is enacted to punish ritual killers and their accomplice"
"I'm not condemning Amotekun, but better direction of job specification should be streamlined. It is disheartening we misplaced our priority. Tell me a day you don't read in the newspapers or hear on radio of innocent boys and girls being killed by ritual killers with part(s) removed?
"I want to charge all the stakeholders to streamline the activities of Amotekun to prioritize checkmating of ritual killings to protect innocent lives and enact death penalty for any culprit caught killing human for rituals. I'm not happy with ritual killers. They are not human. Government should help us by enacting a law against ritual killers.
It must stop. Human are not animals that you slaughter, killed and dismembered. It is an aberration. Such is never part of any culture. We should empower Amotekun to challenge such barbaric act.
"Additionally, to fight traditional corruption, we need agents of unquestionable characters and not accomplice of ritual killings. We need a transparent institution that will lead us out of daily killing of our children for money, promotion, popularity etc"

Nigeria: Oluwo to lead protest against ritual killings, corruption
It's not the first time that the Oluwo of Iwoland, Abdulrasheed Akanbi, speaks out against ritualistic murders (see my May 21 and August 11, 2019 postings) and it won't be the last time either. He is courageous to raise his voice against this practice, which is based on superstition, greed, ignorance AND the absence of the rule of law. Governments must act: governments are obliged to protect their citizens and to uphold the law, to punish perpetrators of heinous crimes such as ritualistic killings, known as 'money rituals' in Nigeria.
Traditional leaders have a responsibility too. On previous occasions, the Oluwo of Iwoland, Abdulrasheed Akanbi, has even accused his fellow traditional rulers of complicity, of being involved in ritualistic killings in their domains (see my May 11, 2019 posting). True or not true, failing to address the issue and educate their people, traditional rulers may be reproached to be responsible – to a certain extent – of the atrocities committed (webmaster FVDK).
The Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrosheed Akanbi
By: Brendan Umoren – Today (Nigeria)
Oluwo of Iwoland, HIM Oba (Dr.) Abdulrosheed Adewale Akanbi, has declared readiness to lead a national protest against ritual killings and corruption in the country.
He lamented the impotency of government at tackling ritual menace, stating that ritual killing is prevalence but deadlier than kidnapping.
Oluwo stated protection of lives is the primary responsibility of the government, noting such can be credited until ritual killings is checkmated by the present administration.
He equally vowed to declare an open protest against corruption characterising public officials in Nigeria.
Oluwo decry daily loss of innocent lives to ritual killings, saying it is an aberration to culture and highest denial of right to life.
According to a statement by the monarch's press secretary, Alli Ibraheem, Oluwo called for enactment of strict penal system against human ritualists and corrupt individual to safeguard human and protect their lives.
"It is saddens no attention is paid by the federal government to prevalence ritual killings pervading our country. Thousands fall victim of ritual on daily basis but regrettably, no one condemns such. I'm not happy with the neglect of my outcry on daily killings of my sons and daughters by ritualists. These people are deadlier than Bokoharam and kidnappers. I will lead thousands of Nigerians with like minds on national protest against human ritualists and corrupt individual.
"Right now, as I'm talking, evil men are somewhere killing human for rituals in the name of money and promotion. Few relate offering human for sacrifice as culture, no, it is an aberration to every culture. No culture accepts human as sacrifice " he said.
Oluwo added that "I'm appealing to federal government to declare war against ritual killings. Strict penalty like death should be meted on any one culpable. Killers should be killed. Killing is not a forgivable offence. If federal government refuse, I will declare an open traditional war against ritualists and front a national protest.
"The Afeniferes, OPCs, Agbekoyas and other pan Yoruba cultural groups should join the revolution against ritual killings. Many gave gone to the journey of no return in the hands of ritual killers. It is pathetic, sad and calls for urgent legislation. Ritual killing is decimating our population daily. Must we continue watching the menace? Those in the government are not seeing what we see. Ritual murders is prevalent on the south west, south east. We must rise before it claim all out promising sons and daughters.
"I want to state it clearly here that killing human for rituals is not Yoruba culture. It is alien to our culture. Yoruba culture is pure, clean and attractive. Look at my dress, it is enticing, fascinating, ostentatious and attractive. Only the ignorance and enemies of Yoruba culture will relate ritual killings to Yoruba culture."
Oluwo said declaring emergency war against ritual killings is acute to secure human lives.

The Oluwo of Iwoland, Oba Abdulrosheed Adewale Akanbi, on Tuesday said he would lead a national protest against ritual killings and corruption.
Oluwo, in a statement by his press secretary, Alli Ibrahim, alleged government's inability to tackle ritual killings which, according to him, are deadlier than kidnapping.
The first-class traditional ruler decried daily loss of lives to ritual killings, describing it as "an aberration to culture and highest denial of right to life."
Oluwo advocated death penalty for ritualists and corrupt individuals.
He stated: "Thousands fall victim of rituals on a daily basis, but regrettably, no one condemns such. I'm not happy with the neglect of my outcry on daily killings of my sons and daughters by ritualists. Right now as I'm talking, evil men are somewhere killing humans for rituals in the name of money and promotion. No culture accepts human beings as sacrifice. "Killers should be killed. Killing is not a forgivable offence. If the federal government refuses, I'll declare an open traditional war against ritualists and front a national protest. "Those in the government are not seeing what we see. Ritual killings are prevalent in the southwest and southeast. I want to state it clearly here that killing humans for rituals is not Yoruba culture. It is alien to our culture. Yoruba culture is pure, clean and attractive."

Oluwo Of Iwo, Osun state, Nigeria: Some traditional rulers behind ritual killings in their domains
An inspiring and powerful speech of the Oluwo of Iwo, Osun state, who is not afraid to say what's on his mind, even if this may disturb his fellow traditional rulers. I quote: "Sadly, as we speak, no traditional ruler, as far as I know in Nigeria, is speaking against ritual killing, which is gradually becoming a norm in our present day society. If I may ask again, why are all these things going on and no king is talking about them? Are some of our kings part of these ugly game? Some kings justify so many ugly things pertaining to ritual killings in the name of customs and traditions. What culture and tradition are they talking about?"
He even goes one step further, by directly accusing his fellow kings: "I know these comments will unsettle many kings, still involved in all manner of ritual killings." Unquote.
It is no small talk what Abdulrosheed Adewale Akanbi asserts – even though we we may be surprised by certain details.
We should congratulate him with his outspoken views and rejection of the heinous crimes which are the ritualistic killings in Nigeria, also known as 'money-related rituals'.
"Ritualism is not culture or tradition, as far as I am concerned", according to the Oluwo of Iwo.
I sincerely hope that many traditional rulers in Nigeria will soon follow his example.
Read below what Abdulrosheed Adewale Akanbi had to say.
Thank you Oluwo of Iwo!

Oluwo of Iwo: some traditional rulers behind ritual killings in their domains
Published: May 19, 2019 – 3:07 am
By: Gabriel Omonhinmin
On May 7, 2019, at exactly 7.45 a.m., Palace Watch got an SMS from HRM Oba Adewale Abdul-Rasheed Akanbi Telu 1, the Oluwo of Iwo, and the message was "Africans, nay Nigerians are no devils. Yoruba as a people are blessed and our culture and tradition is the best. But what is required now is for all men of goodwill to advocate upgrading of all sectors of our cultural practices to make them more appealing. As a King, I will not stop until I help to make our cultural heritage and traditional values, the envy of the world."Palace Watch then reached out to Oluwo of Iwo, who shared his thoughts on various national issues.
What brought about the message you sent?
The message arose from the pains I currently suffer over the damming issues of ritual killings, kidnapping and other worrisome crimes, which have continued to unsettle most Nigerians and foreigners alike. For how long will all these crimes be allowed to fester unattended to in our society?
This is not the type of society we inherited, and there is no way I will continue to keep quiet like most monarchs across the country over these very worrisome matters. I have resolved to continue with my advocacy over these issues. I know most traditional rulers, who are involved in all manner of rituals will not be happy with me and will not find my advocacy funny. I am, however, determined to ensure our children no longer die unnecessarily over ritual related matters, due to age-long ignorance of ritual killings by kings and their friends or allies.
The act is not only barbaric, but it is also wicked and unacceptable in any civilized setting. We must, therefore, do all within our powers as traditional rulers to make sure African gods or deities that require only human blood are no longer appeased.Just a little over 100 years ago, it was a great woman called Mary Slessor that fought so hard to stop killings of twins in some Nigerian societies because we ignorantly believed then that twins were devils. All twins in Nigeria should eulogise and celebrate Mary Slessor.
Nigerians are dying in thousands daily because of ritual killings. The case of Badoo in Lagos is one singular example of this evil. It is a very good example of money rituals, which have become the common practice in our society. Mind you, the practice is all about shedding of innocent blood. The situation has gotten so bad that children can no longer trust their parents and neighbours, due to societal craze and desperation for quick money.
As if this is not painful enough, most parents, guardians and other relatives are now in the habit of selling their wards and relatives into slavery to places like Italy, Libya, Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries. Some of these children are made sex slaves and in the process killed and unaccounted for.
Other high level crimes are daily committed, due to desperation of seeking greener pastures abroad, which is a mirage. Enough of this. Government must now begin to act and speak up against this type of crime. If not for President Muhammadu Buhari's quick intervention, innocent blood would have been shed by Saudi Arabian government in the case of little Zainab Aliyu and the 81-year-old man, who were implicated by a desperate drug cartel at Aminu Kano International Airport, Kano. Their lives would have been wasted just like that.
With this type of crime, what precedent are we showing our children, especially the youths? All traditional rulers of good conscience should henceforth rise up and do all within their powers to rid the society of these elements, especially those residing in their domains. They should deliberately continue to do all within their powers to assist law enforcement agents to arrest these elements, no matter how wealthy they are. They are not good examples to any society.
It might not be palatable to most traditional rulers across Africa,especially Nigeria and Yoruba land. But we must henceforth learn to do away with traditional and cultural practices that encourage these types of inhuman practices. We as traditional rulers need to show love and compassion at any given time.
We need to change what we met our forefathers ignorantly doing to harm our society. Such acts are not culture or tradition; they are simply evil that we must do away with. And once we do this, Africa will no longer be regarded as backward and evil by others, especially European countries.
My prayer, therefore, is that any traditional ruler, especially my fellow Obas, who find it difficult supporting this type of noble act of preserving innocent lives, his family members should also experience the pains family members of victims of ritual killings, kidnappings and other violent crimes currently ravaging our society suffer.
The principal reason for placing this curse is simple. There is a common adage in Yoruba land, which says, "The elderly can't be around and watch helplessly as children go astray or die recklessly in their presence." Traditional rulers by our customs and traditions, no matter their age, are the elderly in any society. They, therefore, have a role to play to help stem this ugly trend that is not helping our society in any way or form.
We are kings, so we must see everyone in our society as our children, especially the very young and vulnerable. Sadly, as we speak, no traditional ruler, as far as I know in Nigeria, is speaking against ritual killing, which is gradually becoming a norm in our present day society. If I may ask again, why are all these things going on and no king is talking about them? Are some of our kings part of these ugly game? Some kings justify so many ugly things pertaining to ritual killings in the name of customs and traditions. What culture and tradition are they talking about?
I honestly expect my fellow Yoruba Obas to have learnt a lesson or two from the Efon Alaye king, who was hanged sometime in the 60s or early 70s for his complicity in the killing of a young child in the name of rituals. Ritualism is not culture or tradition, as far as I am concerned. That particular incident showed clearly that some of our Yoruba Obas are part of this nonsense. The Efon Alaye Oba was caught, but what about other kings, who are still doing these things and have not been caught? Is it right and proper? We are all sitting down looking in the name of culture, while they are busy killing our children.
And some people call such terrible barbaric acts culture and tradition? It was these types of acts that gave impetus to the money rituals that are almost becoming a norm in our present day society. When will they stop?All these happenings around African countries are contributing to our lack of progress. Mind you, any country that does all these things will never be at peace with itself. These are simply natural reactions that come without any curse. These ugly acts naturally recycle themselves and come with karma. People still have the erroneous belief that karma will never come. Then let's wait and see, if they don't stop henceforth, what will happen to them and their generations yet unborn.
I know these comments will unsettle many kings, still involved in all manner of ritual killings. They will hate me more, but I honestly don't care about how they feel. If this nonsense is not stopped forthwith, what kind of future are we laying down for our children and generations coming after us?
Why do you think Law enforcement agencies, particularly the Police seem helpless?
How can the police uncover the crimes, if people are not willing to cooperate with them? Police need lots of information to work with, and the people are not forthcoming with such information, just because they have been hoodwinked in name of culture and tradition.
Just recently, an Oba in the Southwest was to be buried, women were particularly warned not to stray into the town during late hours, otherwise they would be killed. Assuming an illiterate lady that can't read and write get stranded in that town, what is the guarantee that the innocent lady who is just going about her business would not be killed, to justify one nonsense culture and tradition? Which culture or tradition says that a king or his people should illegally take the life of another person they did not help to create?
With this position, most traditional rulers across the country, especially your fellow Obas from the Southwest, will see you as a rebel. Does this not bother you?
I don't care what they think of me, I am only after the truth. Will I say because of what other Obas, who are mere mortals like me think or say about me, I should not speak against the barbaric acts they are involved in, and which are not helping society? If we choose to keep quiet, what are kings for? What are leaders for? What are the roles of traditional rulers in helping to make society a better place?
My friend, people are free to use their mouths anyhow they like. I am for the truth and will never leave that path, which is pleasing to the Almighty Allah. Nigeria is just like the personal domain of every king. Once traditional rulers begin to genuinely speak against these evils, people involved in these acts will no longer have the liver to continue with their acts. And with this position, the entire country will become safer for all of us.
What is the way forward and how do we stop all these acts?
Our message goes out daily to the Obas and kings involved in these ugly acts, but they are not ready to change. The few of us that believe in the truth and the betterment of society will force them to quit the acts that do no one any good. Their alibi is that they inherited these customs from their forefathers, but they fail to realise that their forefathers were not living in a civilized and enlightened society, such as the one we have today.
Most of these secret cults that require human sacrifice, which some of our kings and their people cued into, were never founded by kings. The association founded by kings as a group, is the Assembly of traditional rulers, which is called Council of Traditional rulers in states and local government and the National Council of Traditional Rulers of Nigeria at the national level.
Indeed, these groups are voluntary associations of kings across the country, where the welfare and well-being of kings are discussed alongside other issues of national importance. These groups or bodies do not demand any form of sacrifice nor human blood or that of an animal.
So, I am henceforth advocating that we now have bodies that should be known and called for example, the "Yoruba Council of Oba," an assemblage where all Yoruba speaking Obas should sit down once in a long while and discuss matters concerning the Yoruba nation generally. Similarly, we should have Ijaw Council of Obas, Igbo Council of Obis or Eze, and the Hausa Fulani Council of Emirs.
These groups should be able to meet separately at different times, compare notes about things happening around their areas that are bothering them, and then bring such before the National Council of Traditional Rulers of Nigeria. Please, try to get the point I am pushing here. These Yoruba, Ijaw, Igbos and Hausa Fulani Councils of Kings do not in any way invalidate all other existing councils in the Local Government Areas and the states across the country, which meet more frequently than the one I am proposing, which will only meet in a very long while.
If government wants the security situation in the country to improve drastically, it must henceforth learn to empower traditional rulers and traditional institutions. No security system can impact on the ordinary people without the cooperation and collaboration of traditional rulers across the country.
Are you comfortable with the level of funding for traditional institutions by government?
Nice to know that efforts are now being made by the Federal Government to channel Local Government Areas' allocation to them directly. But much as this move is applauded, it will not help the present security situation in the country. The Obas, Obis and Emirs are the Chief Security Officers (CSO) in their domains.
If this is true, then the kings need to be funded. The Federal Government should make provision for a special budgetary allocation for traditional rulers to deal with security needs. This is the way to go. Oftentimes, the kings that are not funded by government are the ones supporting and providing funds and other logistics for the police to fight crimes in their domains.
The Nigeria Police can hardly do anything meaningful without the kings' cooperation. Honestly, the salaries of Obas, Obis and Emirs are nothing to write home about. If I tell you the monthly salary of a First Class Oba in the Southwest, especially in Osun State where I am, you will be ashamed and scandalised. Yet, so much is expected from these kings. The North is slightly better, but it is still not enough.
Once the government at the centre begins to offer reasonable resources to kings across the country, and they are legislatively empowered to take some actions and decisions, things will naturally improve security-wise across the country. Most criminals see kings as toothless bulldogs that can do little or nothing.
When a king wants to correct criminals in their domains, they go to court, saying the king does not have the power to do this or that to them. But if kings are given some legal backing, most criminals will run away from their domains or decide to behave themselves. Criminals are not ghosts, but there is little or nothing a king can do the way things are now.The government should, as a matter of urgency, formulate policies to criminalise some of these practices. Some kings are hiding behind ritual killings to commit all sorts of atrocities. These acts are nothing but cultural corruption.

I have a new network and my WD Cloud is hard wired (lan) into my Router.
I have been trying to download a directory of files using explorer and most will read fine, but several are not accessible. It is like the drive goes off line.
When I try to access the drive via my cloud website, I see the files / directory but I can not download.
I don't know what the problem is with Windows 7 but look at this for Windows 10 and getting it to show.
Where does Firefox come into this?
If you are local to your network, use File manager, and map shares as network drives, mapping all shares with the same MyCloud user credentials.
Thank you so much for finding that for me. I suspected it was a network thing and I get very lost trying to troubleshoot anything network. Yes, it did allow access. | {

G. Edward Griffin Debunks the JFK/Fed Myth
If you follow the alt media you've probably heard the theory that the bankers were behind the JFK assassination.

But this theory is not just wrong, it is completely opposite to reality. Joining us today to set the record straight once and for all is G. Edward Griffin, editor of NeedToKnow.news and author of the seminal book on the Federal Reserve, The Creature From Jekyll Island. | {

The Forum for Organized Resource Conservation and Enhancement (FORCE) led us on a tour today to a number of sites to investigate different ways people cope with the water shortage in Delhi.
The Forum for Organized Resource Conservation and Enhancement (FORCE) led us on a tour today to a number of sites to investigate different ways people cope with the water shortage in Delhi. Our first stop was a middle class housing complex. We learned about their strategy of using illegal individual tanks to capture water during the 45 minutes their taps are turned on each day. As we stood in an opening around the houses, I counted at least 10 tanks in plain sight.
Our next visit, a slum directly across the street, was a much different scene. With an arrangement of tarps and oddly constructed huts as shelter, many of us found this to be more of what we were envisioning a slum to be rather than the other communities we have visited so far this trip. Roughly 400 houses with typical family sizes of seven to eight people were illegally settled on this land. Our group gathered around two water storage tanks as people from the slum gathered around us.
We learned the community filled their storage tanks with water pumped from wells, along with water brought by tanker trucks. Before the addition of the storage tank, the community members fought daily for the limited water provided by the tanker trucks (seen below). The trunks came two times a day, providing the village with 20,000 liters of water.
It is amazing to me how two sides of the road can be so different. One side has individual families illegally storing water to have enough to live comfortably for the entire day. The other side of the road is a whole community who is illegally living on unauthorized land, fighting to meet their basic needs for water. Overcoming the shortage of water in Delhi is not an easy task and will require people from every side of the city to join together to come up with a sustainable solution. | {

Q: A question should not be deleted by the user deletion algorithm if it has upvoted answers As I found out earlier today, users who are deleted have their negatively-scored questions deleted, even if those questions have upvoted answers.
This goes against established conventions, for two reasons:
*
*As moderators, we constantly tell users that we won't unilaterally delete questions that have upvoted answers.
*Even our FAQ states that we don't let users delete their own questions that have upvoted answers. See also this.
This 'delete my user' process allows a user to get around this policy by simply deleting their own account. Since nothing stops them from creating another account, it's quite possible this harms our mission of keeping good content around. Also, it allows users to delete their own questions whose answers have received bounties, which can take away the bounty award; this behavior was recently prevented for normal question self-deletions.
I propose that we make changes to the user deletion algorithm:
If a user is deleted and they have questions with upvoted answers, those questions are disassociated from the user's account instead of being summarily deleted.
Questions without upvoted answers are treated like they are currently: they are deleted when the user is deleted.
This should be the same for destroyed users as well.
A: I agree that good answers shouldn't automatically be lost without the chance for human review. The Roomba doesn't delete in this case, so it's counter-intuitive that deleting a user does. Further, these auto-deletions don't even go to the 10k review page for deletions -- not that we should expect people to regularly review those anyway (the interface is poor), but even if they wanted to they couldn't. So that's no good.
I agree with your suggestion: it would be better to leave bad question with good answers in place (account deletion will anonymize them) than to delete them. We tell users clearly that once they post content they don't fully own it any more, so there is no reasonable expectation of question deletion with account deletion.
If leaving them undeleted is deemed to be too permissive, then we should apply human review instead of auto-deleting these.
For downvoted questions with upvoted answers, the system could leave the questions and raise an auto low-quality flag, sending the question to the review queue. Reviewers can then inspect the question in context and decide its fate. (The answers would also need to be presented.)
We already have auto-flags for low quality and users are used to sometimes seeing old stuff in the review queues, so adding this doesn't seem like it would surprise or confuse anybody.
Normally the options for questions in this queue are "close", "looks ok", and "edit". Closed questions do not go to this queue under normal circumstances, but with this change that could happen. For a closed question in the LQP review queue the "close" option should be replaced with "delete" or "recommend deletion", just like for answers. "Edit" (to fix the problem) + "looks ok" (post-edit) remains an option.
It's important that the answers be available when reviewing low-quality questions. I don't know if they are or not (I don't have an LQP test case at the moment). SOUP adds this for the close queue and might add it for LQP too.
Or if using low-quality reviews is too hard, we could at least raise moderator flags on deleted questions with upvoted answers. We now get moderators flags for some controversial reviews (I don't think we did back when I wrote this answer), which seems vaguely similar -- here's a thing on the site that requires human judgement, the processes available haven't produced a clear result, so mods should take a look. I'd rather see community review than moderator review, but I'd rather see moderator review than silent deletion like we have now.
A: So... We've been talking about this internally for as long as I can remember. I was sitting on a call as a newly-hired part-timer, in my attic, arguing over this.
I get the intent: a deleted user is never going to come back and fix their post. They're never going to provide clarification, accept an answer, approve edits, or otherwise participate...
...But the indiscriminate deletion ends up hurting folks who have participated in good faith, have had their work recognized already, and worst of all have little visibility into or ability to influence the process that leads to deletion. Heck, we don't allow askers to explicitly delete their questions if there's an upvoted answer, so why allow them to do so implicitly by deleting their account?
And... This affects a fair number of upvoted answers, north of 500 a month on average. That's too many to brush off. Now that we've made self-deletion more convenient, this has to be fixed.
So after reviewing the data, here's what I think makes sense: delete a user's questions along with them only when those questions...
*
*...score < 0 AND
*
*...are closed OR
*...have no answers scoring > 0
This change is now live.
A: If a question with an upvoted answer can not be deleted, a user who posts a bad question, gets an answer, and upvotes that answer, can prevent deletion of their question. Up voting answers to your own questions is fairly common.
Yes, deleting the question removes those answers. But should the question have ever had any answers. Were the answers just people rep-farming?
Maybe require an answer with several upvotes to prevent deletion.

40 Years After Highway To Hell, AC/DC Is Still Rock n' Roll At Its Best
By Adrian Bryant | July 30, 2019 | 4:10pm | 2
July 27th marked the 40 year anniversary of one of the great rock records, Highway to Hell. The album pushed the up and coming Aussie act AC/DC to true stardom, being certified 7x platinum and creating a title track that – among a number of the band's other hits – currently lives as one of hard rock's most iconic songs. It's impossible to overstate just how relentless this album's attitude is. "Highway to Hell" is one of the slower songs on the album, and the punch of its three chord riff (the type of which AC/DC has perfected) leaves me seeing stars by the end of its brisk three-and-a-half minute runtime. Producer Robert John "Mutt" Lange took the AC/DC's talent for steady, balls to the wall bangers from and condensed them into crisply produced three minute tracks that made it an instant global success. (It also resulted in a medical milestone. Doctors discovered that if CDs and cassette tapes of the album were smelted in a furnace, they liquefied into pure testosterone that could be – and still is – used to produce booster pills and shots.) Since then AC/DC has been a staple of the hard rock acts that owned the music industry for the last half of the 20th century.
AC/DC was my first pop-culture obsession. I was in 3rd grade when Guitar Hero II overthrew the U.S. government and brainwashed all of its citizenry into obsessively strumming their five-button controllers along to classic rock covers. The genius of Guitar Hero was its ability to convince players that they were rock gods, and 8 year old me fell hard for the ploy. I moved quickly into picking up a real guitar to manifest my inner power. AC/DC quickly became the band whose catalogue I burned through . Their riffs were more than easy enough for beginners, but the myriad patterns they produced with A, D, and G power chords, along with their breakneck speed, made AC/DC songs the ideal target for my early musicianship.
Of course, the reason behind my love for AC/DC as a budding musician (spoiler: I never truly bloomed) is the most frequent criticism against them: their songs all follow the same formula. The riffs center primarily on three to four chords, the chorus likely features some variant of the word "balls," and the solo is some bluesy shred from schoolboy guitarist Angus Young. Young supposedly once said "I'm sick to death of people saying we've made 11 albums that sound exactly the same. In fact, we've made 12 albums that sound exactly the same." Complexity is not their claim to fame.
I'm not here to deny that the formula exists, but there is more variety in the band's catalogue than I think they are given credit for. Their whole '70s career oozes a bluesiness that they shed in the Brian Johnson era. Songs like "Ride On" and "Gone Shootin'" owe as much to Robert Johnson as anyone. And "Beating Around the Bush," while rooted in the three chord structure, has an adrenaline-fueled two string lick that makes me want to rip off my shirt and toss my brother through a wall. AC/DC may only five tricks up their sleeve, but the combinations of those tricks and the kineticism with which they perform them never cease to amaze me.
And they're also just so fucking tight. It would be easy to think that, since the barebones of AC/DC's tracks are so defined and seemingly simple, the band plays pretty loose with them. But if you listen closely to their albums, there is not a single missed note, no strum where Angus and rhythm guitar brother Malcolm Young are out of sync. The drummer (usually Phil Rudd, but Chris Slade took over from 1989-1994) and bassist are essentially breathing metronomes, rocking out to the 4/4 beats of the song and doing nothing else, but that is far easier said than done. The only moment of imprecision I found relistening to their discography comes at the beginning of the genius "Overdose," where an appregio is simply but flimsily strummed. Otherwise the band is a finely tuned machine that cannot be stopped and cannot falter.
The AC/DC machine spent their first twenty-five years making every other hard rock band look like Duran Duran. Few bands have come close to holding the same power that AC/DC did. Even bands that were capable of rocking as hard as AC/DC did, like Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, and Black Sabbath, only get to that level occasionally. While they are arguable much better bands, they just don't make me lose my goddamn mind like AC/DC does. AC/DC reduces me to my most primal state, a very specific high where the little intelligence I have is no more useful than a dog turd in the summer heat and I am more than happy to rid myself of it.
And sure, there are times where they aren't the rock gods I have made them out to be so far. At their worst they come off as lazy; their albums post-Razor's Edge have been resoundingly mediocre, falling back on mid-tempo jams that have a fraction of the energy they rose to stardom utilizing. But they spent a shocking amount of time at their best, as they didn't make a truly bad album until 1995's Ballbreaker, and their albums up to For Those About to Rock are unimpeachable. When they are hitting their stride, AC/DC does not let me sit still. I headbang. I dance. I strain my vocal chords to poorly mimic Bon Scott's seductive shrieks or growl along to Brian Johnson's gravelly tones. I want to grab my cherry red Gibson SG – purchased specifically because it is Angus Young's signature guitar – and plow through a song along with the two brothers. I want to fuck. I want to snort a mile long line of cocaine (okay, maybe that one is a stretch). I want to shed all of my stress and rock out like that's all there's nothing else in the world worth doing.
There aren't many things that I ask of the media that I consume. At the top of the short list of questions I consider when critiquing something is "Does [insert media] know what it wants to be, and does it be that thing successfully?" AC/DC never once wavers from its goal of producing unfiltered, overwhelming, and gut-punching rock n' roll. From the sex-soaked way Scott mutters "Cut this," at the start of "Problem Child" to sadistic macho of "Hells Bells," AC/DC exudes the juvenile rush of sex, drugs, and rock n' roll better than anyone else ever could. Nobody does what AC/DC does as well as they do. My tastes have changed radically since I was an eight year old, as you'd expect, but AC/DC sits comfortably on the Mount Rushmore of my favorite bands. I don't expect that to change anytime soon.

Supposedly there is still a big (filled) crack in the roof of Rupp from the early 80s when AC/DC fired the cannon during "For those about to Rock"…lol.

I saw them in Louisville in 5th grade on the Black Ice tour. I was convinced the convention center was going to collapse from the intensity of the cannons. Lol.

So you want to be a political pundit.
Before I teach you techniques, you must understand the job of a pundit.
Political pundits do not try to persuade. That is too much work. So don't worry about winning over any [libs OR conservatives].
Your one job is to rile up your base. Life is much easier that way. And you'll get a much bigger paycheck.
That's why I've created the non-partisan guide to riling up your base like a pro.
Step 2: Introduce a simple fact that is definitely true and supports your side, even if this fact is of secondary concern to the broader argument. Be sure to say that all of the [lib OR conservative] media is ignoring this fact. Even if the fact was widely reported across [lib OR conservative] outlets, your audience doesn't consume [lib OR conservative] media, so they'll just take your word for it.
For example, point out that the [Republican OR Democratic] presidential nominee has more experience in government than the [Democrat OR Republican]. Or that the [Democrat OR Republican] is supported by [George Soros OR Charles Koch].
Step 3: Point out how hypocritical the [libs OR conservatives] are by reminding your audience of an example where a [lib OR conservative] commentator complained about a [conservative OR progressive] politician doing whatever you described in Step 2.
This will help to distract from the reality that your fact from Step 2 may be of secondary importance.
For example, point out that a [lib OR conservative] commentator recently complained that some [Republican OR Democrat] received money from [Charles Koch OR George Soros]. Or that four years ago (back when your own candidate had less experience) the [libs OR conservatives] argued that more experience as a politician was a good thing.
Bonus tip: You can easily point out hypocrisy among [libs OR conservatives] even if individual commentators have maintained consistency. Remember, your audience will assume that one [lib OR conservative] commentator speaks for the views of ALL [libs OR conservatives]. So if you need to, just find one [lib OR conservative] commentator who said in 2013 that government shutdowns are the fault of [Congress OR the President], and find a different [lib OR conservative] commentator who blamed [the President OR Congress] in 2018.
Bonus bonus tip: Focus on the name of the media outlet rather than the name of the individual author. For example, say "A recent [Daily Kos OR Breitbart] article said…" rather than "Jane Doe said…" This will help to subtly lead your audience toward the conclusion that all [libs OR conservatives] believe whatever was said. Focusing on the media outlet will also remind your audience that they believe there is a grand conspiracy of [lib OR conservative] organizations hellbent on destroying everything good in America.
Bonus bonus bonus tip: NEVER point out the distinction between the opinion section and the reporting section of a newspaper or TV station. You don't want to draw attention to the fact that the [New York Times OR Wall Street Journal] has high journalistic standards even though their opinion section is run by a bunch of highly-partisan [libs OR conservatives]. | {

Water Safety Tips That Could Save Your Little Ones Life!
The community centre across the street has finally finished being renovated and after an entire summer without our pool last year, today it was finally open for the summer this year! We spent the first weekend of our summer swimming and having fun in the sun! Ever since the kids were babies we have taken day trips with pic-nicks included, spending time together at the local pools just having a good time. Along with every good time, there has to be a moment of seriousness and when it comes to swimming that moment is when we discuss water safety.
NEVER leave a child alone in or around any water. That's a given, accidents happen even in shallow water and little ones wander. This includes back yard pools and even bath tubs. Call me a helicopter mom but I'd rather everyone be safe than sorry.
Those supervising children should not be intoxicated at all, this includes alcohol. Wait until the kids are in bed or maybe away for the afternoon to have a drink by the pool, always remember to drink responsibly.
If you own a pool, it would be a good idea for your family to take swimming lessons and CPR/First Aid lessons just in case, especially with small children in the house. You can never be too prepared for an emergency.
If you own a pool, make sure it has proper fencing that is at least 5 feet high with a locking, self-closing and self-latching gate. This is a by law here in Ontario so it's pretty much a no-brainer for most. So many accidents have happened from gates not being shut properly and a little one wandering in. If you don't know about the rules of the city you live in, check out your local city website or call your local by law office and find out.
Make sure to always have emergency gear close by the pool like a buoy or a life jacket.
Younger, inexperienced swimmers should always wear a floatation device of some kind. Life jacket or floaties in home pools and at public pools. This cannot be stressed enough, even if you are right beside your child, it just takes them a second to go under water too deep.
We have never really experienced anything seriously scary except for the kids choking on water (which in my opinion is scary enough) and honestly we don't want to. That's why we have always made sure our kids are wearing safety gear while we swim but I always felt our gear wasn't safe enough. At least not for our youngest.
We had been looking for a more reliable floatation device like a life jacket or something other than those cheaper, rubber blow up floaties. I have never trusted those things in a pool deeper than 4 feet. I couldn't imagine something tragic happening to one of our kids because we didn't have them properly secured and safe while swimming.
Stearns Puddle Jumper Deluxe are great if you're looking for a more reliable alternative to floaties for your younger kids. What are puddle jumpers? Whether they are splashing around in the local pool or heading off to the beach, Stearns Puddle Jumper Deluxe swim aids are comfortable and stylish for little swimmers, those rubber floats are a thing of the past. Their innovative design allows free range of motion and great stability while helping to boost confidence. They are made for children 30 to 50 lbs and allow freedom of movement for a comfortable fit. Made with woven polyester for softer fabric - less chafing with floatation bands around both upper arms and across the chest. Easy to take off when wet with one simple buckle at the back. Stearns Puddle Jumper Deluxe are available in eight different colourful characters including monkey and Toucan which we received. You can find these at your local Canadian Tire or Walmart in the swimming section for about $24.99.
We had the opportunity to try out our Stearns Puddle Jumpers for the first time today while the kids went swimming. Personally I think they are just great, in fact we saw a little girl at the pool with a similar style floatie on in pink! Very stylish, D chose to wear his blue monkey Puddle Jumper today. He was very excited. I like the fact that they surround his arms and chest, the strap is adjustable. It doesn't slip or slide off the child when in the water moving around. It's also easy to take off once wet, no air to have to deflate or anything plus they are foldable once dry for easy storage.
They made D feel confident too, we had to take a break between swimming as it got a little breezy out and D got cold. Once he warmed up he wanted to put his Puddle Jumper back on and go back into the pool with me and his sister. He was happy to have something of his very own to wear at the pool and I am happy he has something safe to wear at the pool.
Stearns Puddle Jumpers are definitely worth it for our child's safety this summer and our peace of mind while we get out and enjoy the water!

Universal workers must be vaccinated or get weekly testing
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Starting next month, workers at Universal Orlando's theme parks will have to be vaccinated or undergo weekly COVID-19 testing in order to comply with federal guidelines, company officials said Wednesday.

A majority of workers already are vaccinated. The new policy doesn't affect guests.
Under federal regulations that took effect Monday, companies with 100 or more employees must require workers to be vaccinated or mandate unvaccinated employees to undergo weekly COVID testing. The regulations are being challenged in the U.S. Supreme Court.
Workers at Universal's theme parks must be fully vaccinated by Feb. 9 or be required to take a test every week, Universal officials said in a statement. They said the company initially will provide free, onsite testing.
"The health and safety of our guests and team members has been our ongoing focus during the pandemic," the statement said. "We will also be monitoring legal action involving these regulations by a variety of state and private interests and will adapt accordingly if there are changes."
Last fall, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed into law a measure prohibiting private businesses from having vaccine mandates unless they allow workers to opt out for medical reasons, religious beliefs, immunity based on a previous infection, regular testing or an agreement to wear protective gear. The federal law trumps Florida's. | {

800-295-0851 | See Who's Calling or Texting!
Who Called: GILA Corp, Jennt Munoz, Circle Services Spiro.
They actually contact me through phoning my workplace which then goes to my work email ( I don't have a direct work phone number). Never contact me on my home phones which seems very suspicious to me. They do not name me in the robo call. Claim to be debt collectors but I don't owe anyone anything.
Spam. They don't identify who they are.
spam message stating "urgent court matter"
They call daily. About urgent court matter. I would think they would contact us by certified mail if it was an actual court matter!
keep getting 1-2 x/day robot messages from 1800 295-0851 "concerning an urgent court matter" . I've actually called them back, told them I know they are bill collectors- not attorneys or associated w/ any court system and asked them to quit harrassing me because it was irritating and frankly, against the law. They didn't seem to care as they are still calling- this has been going on for 2-3 years and i am sick of it-- what can be done about it??! | {

Протоде́рма (от — первый и — кожа) — одна из первичных меристем, покровная ткань. Представляет собой наружный, или периферический, слой клеток верхушечной образовательной ткани (промеристемы) побега и корня растения. Наряду с основной меристемой и прокамбием образуется в результате дифференциации в промеристеме. Состоит из плотных клеток, которые в процессе развития преобразуются в эпидерму (в стеблях и листьях) или эпиблему (на корне), реже дают начало некоторым субэпидермальным тканям.

King Bach in Netflix's "The Babysitter." Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc.
He started out as a YouTuber but catapulted into the fame lane on Vine. His name is Andrew Bachelor and, yes, he has the Guinness World Record to prove it.
Now, Bachelor, filmmaker and actor, is making a splash in the film industry.
He's starring in Lionsgate's comedy feature film Where's The Money opposite Kat Graham, Terry Crews, Mike Epps and Method Man. He plays a quick-witted young man from the streets of South Central Los Angeles who must rush a lily-white USC fraternity to recover a stash of stolen money. The 29-year-old not only stars in the film, he is also an executive producer on the project.
Bachelor has evolved into an in-demand actor, producer and content creator, working with some of the biggest names in Hollywood. As his visibility grew, he caught the attention of casting directors who booked him acting gigs on shows such as House of Lies and The Mindy Project, as well as films such as Meet the Blacks and a spoof of the horror series The Purge.
Later this year, Bachelor will also be featured in the Netflix horror film The Babysitter, opposite Bella Thorne, and the comedy film When We First Met. Forbes named him as one of 2017's top influencers in entertainment.
Creating content has always been one of Bachelor's biggest passions. The sketches on his YouTube channel, Pad TV, quickly gained more than 3 million subscribers. The sketches were expensive to produce, so Bachelor searched for alternative ways to share content, which led to his discovery of Vine. In a few short years, he rose to be one of the most followed people on Vine, with 15 million subscribers and more than 5 billion views. His other social media channels also flourished, with millions of people following his content.
Bachelor spoke with The Undefeated on how he went from internet star to Hollywood star and the lessons he's learned — and is still learning — along the way.
What's the difference between you and your alter ego King Bach?
King Bach is funny, energetic, charming, handsome and every woman's dream. I'm just calm and boring … but still handsome, let's not get sidetracked from that.
What's the first thing you did when Forbes named you as one of the top influencers in entertainment for 2017?
When my mom told me that people [outside family and friends] knew who I was.
What did you learn from some of the actors on Where's the Money?
It was great working with those legends. Mike Epps taught me the art of improv. Terry Crews showed me how to be humble and respect everyone on and off camera. And I learned how to really get into character and become involved with my role from Method Man.
Yes, when I met Mario Lopez at an airport.
How do you come up with the creatives behind your videos and films?
A lot of the situations happen to me in real life, and I just figure out a way to turn it into an exciting story.
How did you nurture your desire to perform?
I joined an acting club and comedy troupe. We'd do 30 skits in 60 minutes. It drew me more to acting and wanting to perfect the craft.
You're a Phi Beta Sigma member. What drew you to the fraternity?
Going to FSU [Florida State University], where everything and everyone is new, I needed a group [that kept me grounded]. Phi Beta Sigma always showed me love [and furthermore] brotherhood, scholarship and service. That's what we stand for.
Learning. [I've learned] not to be afraid to fail. The only way to learn is by failing, and once you accept that, you're golden. | {

Are there any scenarios in which violence is justified and if so, where do you draw the line? Yes, we can't kill the child soldiers. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO THINK OF IT. Im one way then to another one.
How does the Internet, and other new technology and communications tools, affect the ability of groups to organize violent or nonviolent resistance? The technology affects the violence by making it more advance and more dangerous. | {

Biography of John Colgan
John McColgan, or Colgan, (Gaelic: Seán MacColgáin ) (c.1592-1658) attended the University of Glasgow from c.1605-1607. He was from a Gaelic clerical family, the MacColgans of Innishowen, Donegal.
He left Ireland around 1612 and took holy orders on the continent. He entered St Anthony's College, Louvain in 1620 and quickly became involved in the project run by friars in this institution for the collection, preservation and reproduction of early Irish hagiographical materials. Colgan, due to his knowledge of Irish Gaelic, was ideally suited for the task of taking materials from Gaelic and repackaging them in Latin. He became Professor of theology at Louvain, around 1635 and published editions of the lives of Saint Patrick, Saint Brigit and Saint Colm Cille and several other volumes, including Acta sanctorum in 1645.
Born 1592.
Died 1658.

Dubstep pioneer Benga has returned from a two year hiatus with a triumphant new EP Future Funk, out now via Benga Beats.
Benga is ready to release new music again.
Benga opens up about drugs.
British dubstep icon Benga has taken to Facebook to announce his retirement from DJing in order to focus on life alongside Fiancé Holly-Jae Treadgold.
Benga unveils a new website as well as a free album mini mix with hopes to tide fans over until the release of Chapter II.
Benga teams up with Hitman : Absolution and Trapstar apparel to create "Hitman" for the video game soundtrack.
London-born producer, Benga, who recently performed at New York City's Electric Zoo music festival, is taking his talents to the small screen. The 6-part miniseries, sponsored by Red Bull Studios, will feature an in depth view at the beginnings of this dubstep star. Red Bull Studios intends the "I Am Benga" series to be part of a much larger series of documentaries focused around the career of some of dance music's biggest names.
Chuckie has remixed Benga's "Pour Your Love," available on Beatport now. | {

I'm still knitting the Kanoko longies; I'm about to start knitting the legs.
Yesterday, I decided to take a wee break from the longies and knit a bow tie for my nephew for Christmas. It took less than 1 hour. I used up some leftover yarn from my stash-Paton's Classic Wool, though I would like to buy a clip at a craft store to make it a clip on bow tie.
what a great idea. i love quick little projects like that.
So cute! How will the bow tie attach? Did you make this pattern up or can you share a link? | {

WORLDWIDE CONQUEST: The U.S. Prepares for "Global Unmanned Warfare"
By Boris Volkhonsky
Global Research, January 27, 2012
Voice of Russia and Stop NATO 27 January 2012
Theme: Militarization and WMD, US NATO War Agenda
First of all, a network of special operation bases and the use of drones signify that the U.S. would be able to attack any adversary anywhere, not bothering too much about whether they are attacking a sovereign state or not.
Sources say that the U.S. plans to use such bases in Australia and in the Philippines, which reflects a new emphasis Washington is laying on confronting China along its eastern borders. With drones and special bases being deployed all over the globe and especially in the vicinity of such a sensitive area as the South China Sea, it gives the U.S. new opportunities to further alienate an unlimited number of nations.
As the U.S. Defense Secretary has been getting ready to present a new Pentagon budget for 2012, some details of his plans became known to the media.
One of the striking new features in the plan is that while the Pentagon is preparing to cut its conventional forces, it lays more emphasis on unmanned drones and special operation bases. According to some sources, the plan is to increase the fleet of unmanned aircraft by 30 percent in the coming years. Also, new, small so-called "lily-pad" bases will be deployed in various points of the globe for launching special operations and engaging allies.
Definitely, such plans reflect a growing weariness felt by the American public after the two wars in Afghanistan and Iraq which have claimed thousands of American lives. The number of civilian casualties among Iraqis and Afghans exceeds it by scores, but who cares?
Definitely, the majority of American taxpayers are no longer ready to pay for the deaths of their children. Unmanned aircraft seem a much more preferable tool for conducting warcraft. Again, it should be said that the use of drones does not significantly diminish the number of civilian casualties in the countries they are deployed in, but that again hardly bothers the U.S. public as well as authorities.
Therefore, from the elections point of view, the new plan might serve President Obama's interests. But what could be its long-term implications?
This has been done repeatedly in recent years. Drones were used over Somalia and Pakistan, with which the U.S. is not engaged in any war. The most notorious special operation launched by the U.S. last year on the territory of a sovereign state was the elimination of Osama bin Laden in Pakistan without even giving prior notice to Pakistani authorities.
It also sheds some light on the future of Afghanistan. Most probably, Obama (or whoever will be the White House host in 2014) will fulfill the promise to withdraw combat troops from there. But it will in no way mean that the operation is over. Instead of the stationary presence of regular troops, there will be small mobile units launching secret raids and hunt-and-kill missions.
With the expansion of the drone fleet and special operation bases, one should expect that the number of drone strikes and special forces raids will only increase. Formally, it would allow U.S. authorities to state that a) they are not launching any war against anybody, and b) they are sparing the lives of American soldiers. But in fact it would only be a continuation of the old belligerent policy.
But what would such practice result in? If we look back at Pakistan where the use of drones was most widespread, we can see that it not only inflicted enormous damage in terms of human lives and infrastructure, but also extremely alienated the Pakistani people from the U.S. and brought bilateral relations to the verge of total collapse. In fact, the Chinese were the only ones who were happy about the outcome, since it enabled them to tie Pakistan much closer to their strategic interests.
Sources say that the U.S. plans to use such bases in Australia and in the Philippines, which reflects a new emphasis Washington is laying on confronting China along its eastern borders. With drones and special bases being deployed all over the globe and especially in the vicinity of such a sensitive area as the South China Sea, it gives the U.S. new opportunities to further alienate an unlimited number of nations. So, the dilemma the present administration is facing is the following: is it worth risking further international isolation (which favors the U.S.' global opponents and primarily China) for the sake of securing re-election for a second term?

Microsoft's oxymoronic controller could be the most immersive VR peripheral yet
Microsoft has revealed a new level of haptic feedback that can be built into a rigid controller which makes it feel like you're squeezing a stress ball between your thumb and forefinger. Yes, the TORC device is solid, but tricks your brain into thinking it's squishy and in doing so Microsoft is suggesting that "oxymorons of haptics might be the new normal."
Researchers Mike Sinclair, Eyal Ofek, Mar Gonzalez-Franco, and Christian Holz from Microsoft Research Redmond, along with KAIST intern, Jeajon Lee, have created this bizarre new form of haptic controller that allows you to interact more fully with a virtual world. Its sensor design can be built into any number of different devices, from traditional game pads and VR controllers, to the stylus you might use with a graphics tablet.
The current device fits in the palm of your hand – the prototype looks a little larger as it's got a Vive Tracker strapped to the top for the VR helps – and despite having no moving parts can deliver "rich haptic feedback that allows high level of dexterity and compliance perception when manipulating virtual objects." That's research paper speak for "makes it feel like you're actually fiddling with the things you're holding in a virtual world."
Microsoft has presented the TORC prototype on its Research Blog, introducing the concept of a controller built around primarily around the ability to fool your brain with a combination of haptic feedback and visual stimuli. It's kinda like that classic experiment where humans can become so attached to an obviously fake arm they freak out when it gets stabbed in front of them.
Take control: These are the best PC controllers around
The TOuch Rigid Controller – or TORC, if you favour the researchers' tortured acronym – is a fascinating concept device, "a proof-of-concept system, rendering haptic sensation of non-rigid, compliant materials using a rigid controller," and could geunuinely bring a new level of immersion and tactility to virtual reality.
Current controllers, such as the Oculus Touch, do an impressive job of translating the movement of your digits into the virtual world, but don't really do much in terms of delivering any recognisable sensations back.
TORC is different. Sure, it's relatively small-scale, in terms of it only really being effective on small precision manipulation, but currently that's also something VR does have a bit of a problem reproducing.

Because it's built for a precision grip, the TORC is designed to be held between the two forefingers and the thumb. Beneath the fingers are a pair of sensors which deliver vibro-tactile sensations, with a pressure sensor set beneath the thumb. Above that pressure sensor, however, is a capacitance-based 2D trackpad set in parallel to the other two sensors.
It's this trackpad that allows for the precise manipulation of objects. By sliding the thumb around the trackpad it translates into movement in the virtual world and, while your two fingers will in reality remain still, the virtual image will have them twisting counter to the motion of the thumb to deliver rotation.
The pressure sensor is also what's responsible for the 'squishing' sensation.
"When holding an elastic object," reads the blog post, "applying force on TORC squeezes the virtual object. Although the user's physical fingers do not move, the combination of the visual stimuli accompanied with the rendered haptic sensation combines to form a compelling experience."
The touchpad is also able to deliver textural sensations too, reacting to materials in the virtual world and attempted to mimic their surfaces as you slide your thumb around the pad.
But the fact the sensor is already small enough, and robust enough, to be included in different styles of peripherals means that unlike most of the weird VR peripherals we've seen (and we've seen some really weird ones) TORC has a better chance than most of actually seeing the light of commercial day.

If you suffer from excessive sweating, then you might be having a medical condition known as Hyperhidrosis. It is a common condition that is already experienced by millions of people the world over. Apart from the early chances of dehydration, Hyperhidrosis patients also suffer from the lack of fashion choices. The production of so much sweat can make it hard to find the right clothing for hyperhidrosis sufferers.
My best friend and a close family member also suffer from the same problem. A while back, both of them told me how embarrassing it can be to wear something as basic as a plain white shirt. If you are also going through the same problem, then don't worry. I have come up with some creative clothing ideas for Hyperhidrosis patients that you would love to follow right away.
Ideally, Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition in which an individual sweats more than the average amount. It happens due to overactive sweat glands. People having the condition can have excessive sweat production on their entire body or specific areas like palms, armpits, back, face, neck, shoulder, feet, etc. The body temperature of Hyperhidrosis patients rises quickly from triggers like heat, exercise, and even hormonal changes.
It has been discovered that almost 5% of the total world population (more than 360 million people) suffer from Hyperhidrosis. Though, the condition is mostly not diagnosed properly as people don't talk about it so openly.
Why people with Hyperhidrosis have limited fashion choices?
Apart from causing a few medical issues, Hyperhidrosis can be emotionally taxing as well. A friend of mine told me how he finds it hard to wear formal shirts as it quickly develops sweat patches near his underarms, which looks pretty embarrassing. If the fabric is not right and the place has no ventilation, then it can be a nightmare for a Hyperhidrosis patient. It doesn't matter if its winter or summer, formal or casual clothes, Hyperhidrosis sufferers always have limited fashion choices.
What smart fashion choices can you make?
Since people with Hyperhidrosis can find it hard to dress the usual way, they should take care of a few things beforehand. To make choices regarding smart clothing for Hyperhidrosis sufferers, one can follow these suggestions.
It is all about the right fabric!
First things first – you need to make sure that the fabric of the clothes you are wearing should be skin-friendly. Fabrics such as silk, polyester, rayon, or synthetic are not suited for Hyperhidrosis sufferers. Try to include more linen and cotton clothes in your wardrobe. Avoid blended clothes as much as you can.
Cotton is an excellent sweat absorber and will make sure there is no embarrassing stain on your clothes. On the other hand, if you are wearing a polyester top, then even a minimum amount of sweat can leave a prominent mark.
Apart from the fabric of the cloth, its color can also play a crucial role. It has been observed that colors like white and gray can get sweat stains quite easily. While pastel shades might be in these days, they are quite bad with hiding sweat as well.
If you sweat a lot, then you should go with darker shades like navy, dark green, brown, maroon, and so on. If everything else fails, then go with a basic black. The color never disappoints and is the best way to hide sweat.

This is undoubtedly the best suggestion that every Hyperhidrosis sufferer should follow. If you simply wear a single layer, then it would be quite easy for others to notice the sweat marks. Therefore, you can follow a more layered approach while dressing up.
In winters, you can follow this without any hassle. Ideally, we can easily dress up 3 layers in winters without standing out. In summers, you can wear lighter shades and thin layers. Go with a more subtle approach and don't wear tight layers. Keep it breezy so that your sweat glands would have enough air to breathe as well.
Yes! There is a whole line of breathable clothing out there manufactured by numerous brands. I bought a pair of breathable socks a few years back and it literally changed my clothing experience. These days, breathable fabric is used to make almost every major clothing item like shirts, trousers, dresses, etc. Breathable denim is not only comfortable, but is also the "it" thing in the town, which will certainly elevate your style appeal as well.
Breathable clothing is made of natural fabric and is extremely lightweight yet durable. It allows the flow of air and keeps our body temperature low. Also, it absorbs the moisture and the sweat so that your clothes won't have an unwanted sweat patch.
If you suffer from Hyperhidrosis, then there must have been a time when you had the thought of keeping backup clothes with you. I know carrying an extra pair of clothes all the time is not possible. Though, you should always maintain a backup at the places you visit daily like work or school. Simply keep a cotton shirt and a pair of linen pants in your locker or desk. You never you, your backup clothes might end up saving you someday from an embarrassing situation.
Do you really need that hat?
While a hat might seem like a fashionable accessory, it can increase your body temperature quite easily. This can make your body sweat more in less time. Therefore, if you are wearing a hat only to flaunt, then I would recommend skipping it. In mild winters, try not to wear a heavy woolen hat. Cover your ear and leave some part open to breathe.
If you are suffering from Hyperhidrosis, then getting a pair of absorbent undergarments is a must. Unlike the popular belief, your undergarments can help you a lot to cover the excessive sweat. Since they are made of a light fabric, they can absorb the extra moisture from your body. At the same time, it works as an added fabric layer as well.
Not just winters, you can consider wearing absorbent undergarments in summer as well. If you haven't tried them in the past, then it might take a while for your body to adjust to them.
A lot of people get excessive sweat on their feet. If you have the same problem, then make sure your shoes are breathable. Avoid getting a pair of tight shoes and make sure there is enough space for your feet to move. Most of the casual and sports shoes out there already have an extra layer of breathable lining. Some formal shoes as well are made of skin-friendly materials that will let your feet breathe.
Besides getting a pair of comfy shoes, you should also get socks made of breathable material. Wash them on a regular basis and even moisturize your feet every once in a while.
Shoulder and hand bags can often end up leaving a prominent patch of sweat. If they are made of leather or any other blended material, then they can particularly make things harder for you. Even if you are carrying a backpack, it can restrict the movement of fabric and accumulate sweat on specific areas.
Additionally, metal jewelry can also accumulate sweat and increase the temperature of your body. If you wear bands and other accessories, then you can see a prominent tan caused by them. Therefore, you should try to avoid these accessories and get a basic look instead.
In order to make smart choices regarding clothing for Hyperhidrosis sufferers, it is important to be familiar with one's body. For instance, some people have certain areas that produce more sweat. Mostly, it is underarms, neck, or feet. While dressing up, you should make sure that you are giving enough breathing space to these areas. You can also be extra cautious and cover your tracks after knowing how your body reacts to heat.
Most importantly, never hesitate in trying new things. You never know which fashion choice might end up being a life-saver for you. Girls out there can wear draped tops and guys can try some smart sleeveless t-shirts to make sure that too much sweat won't accumulate near their underarms. You can also make the most of cut-outs and other styles to let your skin breathe. Try to wear denims and shorts on casual occasions to keep it cool.

GetReligion readers who work in the mainstream press already know this. The whole 24/7 model of multi-platform journalism -- where every newsroom functions as a kind of mini-wire service, but now with a declining number of staffers -- is producing all kinds of stress. That's one trend. I mean, did you see "Doonesbury" today?
We all know that if readers are interested in a topic, if it fits a niche that interests them, they want a 40-inch story and an unfiltered Q&A and probably a video clip, too. But if they are not interested in it, then two inches of type is too much. There are readers out there, especially young ones, who have the attention spans of hummingbirds on cocaine. That's a soundbite from one of my class lectures.
EDMOND -- An Edmond pastor said Wednesday he is not worried about getting in trouble with the Internal Revenue Service for politicking from the pulpit.
After his Sunday sermon, the Rev. Paul Blair told his Fairview Baptist Church congregation he will vote for Republican presidential candidate John McCain. Blair made the endorsement as part of a "Pulpit Freedom Sunday," a national initiative defying rules against mixing preaching and politics.
"The Constitution is on our side," Blair said. "If they're willing to tear the First Amendment out of the Constitution, then we're in trouble."
But Americans United for Separation of Church and State filed complaints with the IRS against Blair and five others. The Alliance Defense Fund is challenging the law that bars political involvement by religious groups and others that accept tax-deductible contributions.
OK, so far so good. Kind of.
But there's a problem. That's the whole story. | {

edge Urban Design now have a full house of Recognised Practitioners in Urban Design!
We are delighted to announce that Sarah has been awarded her Recognised Practitioner in Urban Design accreditation from the Urban Design Group. She has been able to demonstrate that her high level of skills and experience as an Urban Designer make a difference to the built environment. Her passion for promoting urban design across the disciplines is trying to ensure that all built environment professionals work to a common goal of better placemaking.
The Recognised Practitioner accreditation scheme was launched in 2011 with the vision to give those working in urban design a sense of identity; greater influence on professional practice and public policy; and a stronger sense of common purpose. In order to deliver enthusiasm and a fresh focus on better placemaking, Recognised Practitioners are seen to be professionals with a wide range of skills and experience of designing in an urban context. Sarah and Hannah, the all lady dream team at edge, are now both in possession of this accreditation and are therefore well versed to continue making their mark in the world of Urban Design and Masterplanning.
With the shocking statistic that a high proportion of all planning application in the UK are being prepared by someone with no design training, it is no wonder that a great deal of development is still badly designed. At edge we will not stand for this and are advocates for the importance of good design and creating a legacy for the future.
We are the new generation of activists – delivering the next stage in the history of the urban design movement! | {

A new brand of beer had a brief that was short and clear: create a bottle that can be produced in either glass or aluminium and make it recognisably affiliated with the brand.
This led to the simply stated concept "Plug in for a GiG".
The shape of a jack-plug was chosen to represent the familiar control-at-will action of plugging in and joining the jam. It's easy to understand, while clearly sending out a spark or call for action.
High volume production of glass bottles has limitations compared to aluminium. However it is a lot cheaper, and when taking start-up costs into consideration, it turned out that glass was the best way to go. | {

LAURIE LIPTON drawing
Laurie Lipton
A collection of new, astounding drawings by artist Laurie Lipton.
Laurie Lipton draws on canvases that are improbably large, using only pencil and charcoal. The images she renders present our modern world in scathing critique.
The artwork is part of three ongoing series entitled Techno Rococo, Post Truth, and May You Live in Interesting Times.
In these she addresses social media, unchecked consumerism, intellectual decline, environmental catastrophe, and soul-crushing isolation, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Her sprawling phantasmagorias have earned her a broad constituency of fans and collectors, from scholars and aficionados of the Flemish and German Renaissance, to savvy contemporary gallerists and collectors, to filmmakers such as Terry Gilliam and James Scott (who directed the award-winning 2016 documentary about her, Love Bite) and finally to a massive and loyal social-media following.
Includes introductory essay "Laurie Lipton and the Golden Thread" by Richard Speer.
Hardcover • 9" x 11" •112 pages
Published by Last Gasp
"It's an insane way to draw, but the resulting detail and luminosity is worth the amount of effort. My drawings take longer to create than a painting of equal size and detail."
Laurie Lipton was born in New York and began drawing at the age of four. She was the first person to graduate from Carnegie-Mellon University in Pennsylvania with a Fine Arts Degree in Drawing (with honors). She has lived in Holland, Belgium, Germany, France, the UK and has recently moved to Los Angeles after 36 years abroad. Her work has been exhibited extensively throughout Europe and the USA.
Lipton was inspired by the religious paintings of the Flemish School. She tried to teach herself how to paint in the style of the 16th century Dutch Masters and failed. When traveling around Europe as a student, she began developing her very own peculiar drawing technique building up tone with thousands of fine cross-hatching lines like an egg tempera painting. "It's an insane way to draw", she says, "but the resulting detail and luminosity is worth the amount of effort. My drawings take longer to create than a painting of equal size and detail."
"It was all abstract and conceptual art when I attended university. My teachers told me that figurative art went 'out' in the Middle Ages and that I should express myself using form and shapes, but splashes on canvas and rocks on the floor bored me. I knew what I wanted: I wanted to create something I had never seen before, something that was brewing in the back of my brain. I used to sit for hours in the library copying Durer, Memling, Van Eyck, Goya and Rembrandt. The photographer, Diane Arbus, was another of my inspirations. Her use of black and white hit me at the core of my Being. Black and white is the color of ancient photographs and old TV shows… it is the color of ghosts, longing, time passing, memory, and madness. Black and white ached. I realized that it was perfect for the imagery in my work."

Serbia overtakes USMNT in first game of new cycle
Credit: Kiyoshi Mio-USA TODAY Sports
The U.S. men's national team took the first small step toward the 2026 World Cup with a 2-1 loss to Serbia on Wednesday in Los Angeles.
Brandon Vazquez gave the U.S. the lead, Luka Ilic tied it just before halftime and Veljko Simic put Serbia ahead a minute into the second half.
Less than two months after bowing out of the 2022 World Cup, the Americans — bearing no resemblance to the squad that lost to the Netherlands in the Round of 16 on Dec. 3 — fielded an inexperienced team that had seven players in the starting lineup make their international debuts, with nine of the 11 starters age 24 or younger.
Gaga Slonina, at 18 years, 255 days old, became the youngest goalkeeper to play for the USMNT, surpassing Tony Meola, who made his debut at 19 years, 106 days on June 7, 1988, vs. Ecuador. Slonina made four saves.
The biggest change for the U.S. was assistant coach Anthony Hudson being named interim head coach to replace Gregg Berhalter. U.S. Soccer continues to investigate allegations of misconduct 31 years ago by Berhalter with his then-girlfriend, now wife, which were brought by the parents of U.S. player Gio Reyna.
Berhalter's contract expired at the end of 2022.
Vazquez gave the U.S. the lead in the 29th minute with a snap header inside the left post. He became the 59th player to score in his U.S. debut. Vazquez, 24, had 18 regular-season goals for FC Cincinnati last season, including six headers to tie for the Major League Soccer lead.
Ilic got the equalizer in the 43rd minute on a 22-yard free kick, and Simic ran onto a loose ball to score from distance to make it 2-1 in the 46th.
Cade Cowell tried to get to level the score in the 56th minute, but he first fired a shot off the right post, then the left. The U.S. had 20 shots (five on target) to 11 (six on target) for Serbia.
The U.S. plays Colombia in Carson, Calif., on Saturday.

Mr. Menzies Campbell: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what recent discussions he has had with his counterparts in other European Union countries on seeking compensation from the Israeli Government for damage to or the destruction of EU-financed projects in Gaza and the West Bank as a result of Israeli military action. [53436]
Mr. Straw [holding answer 2 May 2002]: The damage to EU and other donor funded projects in the West Bank and Gaza Strip caused by Israeli military actions was first discussed by EU Foreign Ministers at the 28 January General Affairs Council. Following that meeting the EU demanded that this practice stop and reserved the right to demand compensation in the appropriate fora. That remains our position. The European Commission continues therefore to monitor and cost the damage arising from recent IDF operations.
Mr. Jim Cunningham: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what recent discussions he has had with European and United States counterparts about the situation in Israel. [53938]
Mr. Bradshaw: My right hon. Friend the Foreign Secretary has spoken to US Secretary of State (three times since Saturday), and has had regular discussions with his European Union colleagues about the situation in Israel and the occupied territories. The middle east peace
7 May 2002 : Column 147W
process was discussed at the General Affairs Council on 15 April and at the Valencia EuroMed meeting on 23 April.
Mr. MacDougall: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how many people from Fiji have received entry clearance to reside in the United Kingdom in each of the last five years. [53908]
Mr. Bradshaw [holding answer 2 May 2002]: I list below details of entry clearance applications received and issued in Suva for settlement since 1997. We do not record the nationality of those applying for settlement and applicants can apply at any post in the world.
To differentiate between nationality of each applicant, we would need to ask all 166 entry clearance posts to carry out a manual search of their records. This could be done only at disproportionate cost.
2001(40) 7 7
(40) 2001 statistics cover period 1 January to 31 March 2001
All entry clearance posts submit an annual statistical return from which the above statistics were obtained. This information is collated in the Entry Clearance Annual Statistics booklet, copies of which are currently available in the House Library. The latest year for which this information is available is 2000.
Mr. Yeo: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will list the written questions asked of him between (a) 1 to 30 June 2001, (b) 1 to 31 July 2001, (c) 1 to 30 September 2001, (d) 1 to 31 October 2001, (e) 1 to 30 November 2001, (f) 1 to 31 December 2001, (g) 1 to 31 January 2002, (h) 1 to 28 February 2002, (i) 1 to 31 March 2002 and (j) 1 to 30 April 2002 that had not received a substantive answer by 30 April; and if he will state (i) the name of the hon. Member asking the question and (ii) the reasons the question had not received a substantive answer. [54080]
Mr. Straw [holding answer 2 May 2002]: I refer the hon. Member to the answer given by the President of the Council and Leader of the House of Commons, my right hon. Friend the Member for Livingston (Mr. Cook) on 2 May 2002, Official Report, column 949W.

Mr. Ancram: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how many times his Department has discussed the two Whitehall budgets for conflict prevention, referred to by the Parliamentary Under-Secretary in a speech to the Royal College of Defence Studies on Thursday 25 April, with (a) the Ministry of Defence and (b) the Department for International Development; when these discussions took place; and what (i) spending commitment and (ii) countries were discussed on each occasion. [54142]
Mr. Straw: I (and my predecessor, my right hon. Friend the Member for Livingston (Mr. Cook)), have met colleagues in the Ministry of Defence and Department for International Development to discuss the global pool on 30 November 2000, 15 March 2001 and 25 February 2002. We decided priority regions and themes for the pool as well as discussing administrative procedures for the pool. The current priorities for the global pool are Afghanistan, the Balkans, Belize/Guatemala, Indonesia/ East Timor, central and eastern Europe, Russia/FSU, middle east, South Asia, small arms and light weapons, UN reform, OSCE/Council of Europe reform, and EU civilian crisis management.
My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for International Development, who chairs the Africa Pool Ministerial Group, has met colleagues on 25 October 2000, 7 December 2000, 27 February 2001, 23 July 2001, 22 October 2001, 10 December 2001 and 4 February 2002. These meetings considered country and thematic
priorities as well as management arrangements for the Africa pool. The country priorities agreed by Ministers are Sierra Leone, DRC and the Great Lakes, Sudan, Nigeria and Angola. Thematic priorities are building African peacekeeping capacity and tackling the economic causes of conflict.
In addition officials meet on a regular basis.
Mr. Ancram: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what the two Whitehall budgets for conflict prevention, referred to by the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State in a speech to the Royal College of Defence Studies on Thursday 25 April 2002, have been spent on (a) by date and (b) by spending commitment. [54143]
Mr. Straw: A report on the activities of the pools in their first year will be published later in 2002 and will describe the programmes funded by the pools.
Mr. Ancram: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs which countries have benefited from the two Whitehall budgets for conflict prevention, referred to by the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State in a speech to the Royal College of Defence Studies on Thursday 25 April; and in what ways. [54144]
Mr. Straw: Most of the funds allocated to the global pool have been divided among a set of geographical and thematic priority areas:
Russia and the Former Soviet Union
Indonesia and East Timor
The Middle East and North Africa
Belize/Guatemala
Small Arms and Light Weapons
Strengthening the UN
EU Civilian Crisis Management
The OSCE and Council of Europe.
The thematic priorities are of potential benefit to countries in both pools.
The Sub-Saharan Africa pool has prioritised the following areas and themes:
DRC and the Great Lakes
Building African Peacekeeping capacity
Tackling the economic causes of conflict.
Mr. Ancram: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs from which existing funds the money for the two Whitehall budgets for conflict prevention, referred to by the Parliamentary Under- Secretary of State in a speech to the Royal College of Defence Studies on Thursday 25 April, was taken. [54141]
Mr. Straw: The money for the Sub-Saharan Africa and Global Conflict Prevention Pools came from relevant existing funds held by the Ministry of Defence, the
Department for International Development and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office plus an additional contribution from HM Treasury.
Mr. Ancram: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what plans his Department has to spend the two Whitehall budgets for conflict prevention, referred to by the Parliamentary Under- Secretary of State in a speech to the Royal College of Defence Studies on Thursday 25 April. [54140]
Mr. Straw: Spending under the Sub-Saharan Africa and Global Conflict Prevention Pools is well under way. The PSA target of the pools is improved effectiveness of the UK contribution to conflict prevention and management as demonstrated by a reduction in the number of people whose lives are affected by violent conflicts and a reduction in potential sources of future conflict, where the UK can make a significant contribution. Activities funded by the pools are tailored to meet this target.
Mr. Ancram: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what the (a) size and (b) nature is of the two Whitehall budgets for conflict prevention, referred to by the Parliamentary Under- Secretary of State in a speech to the Royal College of Defence Studies on Thursday 25 April. [54145]
Mr. Straw: Following a review of the Government's conflict prevention and resolution activities, the FCO, Ministry of Defence and Department for International Development agreed to pool relevant existing funds to allow for a more co-ordinated approach to conflict prevention and resolution activities. Two conflict prevention pools were established on 1 April 2001: Sub-Saharan Africa (Africa pool) and another for the rest of the world (global pool). The Africa pool has been allocated £50 million per annum from 2001–04 to spend on conflict prevention programmes in Sub-Saharan Africa. The global pool budget will be £60 million for 2001–02, £68 million for 2002–03 and £78 million for 2003–04.
In addition, the pools contribute to the additional costs of the UK assessed and non-assessed contributions to support UN and other peacekeeping and peace- enforcement operations. In 2001–02 these included commitments in Sierra Leone, DRC, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Macedonia, Bosnia, Kosovo, Afghanistan and the Iraqi no fly zones. | {

Aquacomb is an innovative technology that combines with standard methods of home construction to 'hide' water storage units and maximise available ground space. Aquacomb is made up of a systems of interlinked pods which harvest rain water from the roof of the house and store it for toilet flushing, laundry use and garden watering. When the water storage is empty a pump system automatically switches the supply back to town water. The Aquacomb system can be installed by a tradesperson and carries a 20 year warranty. | {

Watch an Autonomous Fencing Drone Dodge Sword Attacks
If it can dodge a sword, it can dodge a car, a plane, or anything else.
Filed Under Drones & Robots
Ross Allen wants his technology to guide driverless cars around cities, and help delivery drones navigate complicated flight paths, but right now he's busy trying to hit it with a sword.
Allen is a Ph.D. candidate at Stanford University, where he specializes in training robots to dodge obstacles at high speeds. He does most of his research on small quadcopters, as they're one of the most adaptable, dynamic, and controllable platforms to develop collision-avoidance technology. Plus, they're pretty damn cool.
"[Quadcopter drones] are a great research platform in that they're complex enough that they add all these challenges that researchers like to see," Allen told Inverse. "They're a good mix of challenge and usability."
But quadcopters are just the building blocks of Allen's research, which could be groundbreaking in several robotics industries.
"The research is… really applicable to any sort of robotic systems especially when those robotic systems are sort of fast moving, or they have behaviors they have to obey, such as cars," Allen said.
Autonomous or self-driving cars could be ubiquitous in the near-future, but one of the biggest challenges in artificial-intelligence drivers is getting them to sense and react appropriately to fast-moving, external obstacles in varied circumstances. Allen is demonstrating his new technology in a simple, low-tech way (by swatting at it with a sword), but he says the high-level capabilities of his technology are "less flashy" than the sword-dodging.
Come on man, at least give the drone a sword too.
At a higher level, the autonomous dodging software (technically called "real-time kinodynamic motion planning") can help vehicles or equipment navigate from point to point on a plotted course, while responding to obstacles as they pop up unexpectedly. That means a delivery drone or self-driving car could swerve to avoid an obstacle and then automatically re-plot its course to find its way back on track. Allen says it could also help autonomous boats, heavy robotic cranes, or even space ships react to minute variables during complicated procedures like picking up objects or docking with space stations.
"I came into this research wanting to address a larger problem," Allen said. Even though A.I. technology is rapidly advancing, teaching robots to react to huge amounts of variables as quickly as humans can is the next step to true autonomy. In the mean time, let's just hope and pray nobody combines Allen's technology with the crazy chainsaw-drone, because based on the video below, Allen's fencing sword wouldn't stand a chance.

Revealing Possibilities
In the Fight Against
Learn MoreGet in Touch
Age-related cognitive decline, mild cognitive impairment, and progression to other Alzheimer's Disease-related dementias affects the well-being of older adults, their families and caregivers.
Sixteen million individuals in the US are living with mild cognitive impairment, a precursor to Alzheimer's Disease.
The total cost of health care and long-term care-related payments in 2020 for all individuals with dementia was estimated at $305 billion.
There are currently no pharmacologic solutions and no other treatments with strong evidence for the prevention of age-related cognitive decline, mild cognitive impairment, or progression to clinical Alzheimer's-type dementia.
Incite is innovative in four primary respects:
Unsupervised, home-based Neurofeedback training for cognitive enhancement, rather than meditation, sleep, or relaxation
The application of deep learning to correctly classify cognition performance that can then be applied to a tablet, by way of the application of transfer learning
The use of transfer learning to make the brainwave characteristics and feedback thresholds individualized across users, and adaptive as a user's brainwave activity changes over time
The integration of machine learning-derived brainwave characteristics to drive the volume of individually selected music
Incite is innovative in five primary respects:
Unsupervised, home-based NFB training for cognitive enhancement, rather than meditation, sleep, or relaxation.
The application of deep learning to correctly classify cognition performance that can then be applied to a tablet, by way of the application of transfer learning.
The use of transfer learning to make the EEG characteristics and feedback thresholds individualized across users, and adaptive as an individual user's EEG activity changes over time.
The integration of machine learning-derived EEG characteristics into the volume control of music, in which EEG characteristics in addition to behavioral responses adjust the volume of the music.
Gap in Knowledge
Preliminary Studies
Gap in Knowledge:
The National Institute on Aging of the National Institutes of Health asked the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to examine and comment on the state of knowledge about what works in preventing or slowing cognitive decline and dementia.
The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) systematic review identified no specific interventions that are supported by sufficient evidence to encourage people to adopt them for the purpose of preventing cognitive decline and dementia. The systematic review did, however, find some degree of support for the benefit of three classes of intervention: cognitive training, blood pressure management, and increased physical activity.
The AHRQ review states additional research is needed to further understand and gain confidence in the effectiveness of these interventions.
Recent research has shown anatomical changes and cognitive performance improvement in older adults using Electroencephalographic (EEG) Neurofeedback (NFB). In one study, healthy elderly people and patients with prodromal Alzheimer's Disease showed improved visuospatial memory performance after NFB training. Analysis revealed changes in cerebral connectivity over the course of the training.
Another randomized, placebo-controlled study involving seventeen older adults showed that NFB can benefit brain reserve in an aging population.
Few products are available for cognitive improvement and none use advanced machine learning to apply cutting edge computer science to an in-home effective product.
Preliminary Studies:
Work began in 2016 using an Emotive wet electrode headset to study brain waves associated with cognitive function. In 2018, Preveal assembled a team to begin full scale research and in 2019, a study was conducted to determine the feasibility of using a dry electrode headset, wirelessly connected to a laptop, with off-line data processing, to extract EEG features associated with peak working memory. The results were consistent with published EEG analyses during working memory testing using wet electrode headset systems.
In 2019, work began to determine whether a deep learning pipeline could be used to successfully differentiate EEG patterns in which participants were performing mental arithmetic from those at rest with no cognitive load. The validation accuracy was 78.8% for the differentiation of mental arithmetic from resting state.
Preveal Technologies, Inc. is a health technology start-up located in Spokane, Washington. Our focus is the application of in-home neurofeedback for cognitive enhancement and prevention or delay of onset of neurodegenerative diseases. Preliminary research has proven effectiveness of the headset design and the deep machine learning algorithm. We are seeking investor funding to finalize development and conduct a feasibility study through Spokane St Lukes Rehabilitation Medical Center.

1. We just arrived at Mountain Valley Spa and Resort; glorious views, amazing salt water pool and the best spa products in the world, like their Grape, age-rewind lotion! Divine.
3. Wow, our skin's softer than a baby's cheeks. It's Mom's turn now while Granny and I drink a nice hot latte in our cozy spa robes. RING RING! Hey, who's phone's ringing?
4. *GASP* That's MOM'S phone!? I can't believe it, she left to take the call right in the middle of her facial! Ugh, I'm so mad. Mom PROMISED to keep her phone off this weekend!
5. We waited for Mom for a whole hour but she never came back. That's when I went for a walk to the cafe and gift shop to cool off! Retail therapy here I come.
6. On my way back I saw Mom and Granny eating lunch in the lounge; but Mom was crying! Oh no! Here I was all mad at her when maybe she was in trouble and needed a friend.
7. I bought Mom some flowers to apologize and she apologized to me too. Turns out she really did need a friend. Actually we all did! We talked for hours about EVERYTHING!
8. Afterwards the three of us felt closer than ever before! In fact we talked so long we were late for our next treatment; the Fruit n' Floral Massage.
9. Together we smelled like an exotic summer garden. Up next were our pedicures! Mom and Granny wanted to get flowers painted on their toenails, I want to get lil' cherries.
10. The only problem was, we found out that me, mom and granny all have something in common; insanely ticklish feet! We were laughing so much we even spit out our drinks…oops!
11. After wiggling and laughing so hard we only ended up with two painted toes each. Haha, maybe next time, we'll skip the pedicures and stick to the non-feet treatments, lol.
12. It was our last treatment so the three of us chose and bought our favorite spa products. Then we got all dressed up for a candlelight dinner in the Diamond Dinning Room!
13. We took our desserts and glass of wine up to the rooftop where we could watch shooting stars; I made a wish on each one that we could do this EVERY year on Mother's Day!
14. My only other wish was that me, Granny and Mom would stay this close forever! What an amazing Mother's day getaway! Hope you have a Happy Mother's Day too farmer!

We realize that spending time with your loved one is important to the healing process. As a member of the family — in our eyes, that's any person who plays a significant role in our patient's life — your emotional support is not only welcomed, it's deeply encouraged.
However, if you have a cold or respiratory infection, we ask that you postpone your visit, for the safety of your loved one and the rest of our patients. If you're unable to be there in person for your loved one, you may also call, write or send packages to them.
Requests to visit patients in compassionate-care situations must be approved by the nursing director or administrator on duty.
Siblings of patients of all ages are allowed to visit our Obstetrics and Pediatrics units — including Pediatric Intensive Care and Neonatal Intensive Care units — as long as they do not exhibit symptoms of a cold or other contagious illness.
General Visiting Hours — 10 a.m.-9 p.m.
The number of visitors in a patient room is generally limited to four, although some areas limit visitors to two at a time. Please ask the nurse on duty for details.
Children under age 12 generally aren't permitted in a patient's room. Please see the notes on each specific department for exceptions.
Visitors under age 18 must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
Please be aware that a caregiver may interrupt your visit during some patient care routines.
If you're ill, please postpone your visit.
Please explore the hours of specific departments for additional details.
Go to the Information Desk on the Plaza Level, and ask one of our volunteers for assistance.
Wash your hands often with soap and water or use alcohol-based hand cleaners.
Choose the "csguest" network in your device's wireless settings.
Please note: Smoking is not permitted anywhere on the medical center campus, including sidewalks, parking structures and inside vehicles, whether parked or driving through campus.
Serving patients and visitors from many different faiths.
Green space for a beneficial, therapeutic landscape.

One room inside a residential building was completely damaged by fire, while almost 50 people were evacuated and four hospitalised.
Four people ended up in the hospital after a night fire in a residential building on J.G. Tajovského Street in Trnava. One room inside a flat on the third floor caught fire, probably from a candle, the SITA newswire wrote.
Fire-fighters were summoned to the site shortly before 2:00. One of the inhabitants, aged 48, probably lit a candle and then fell asleep, Trnava police spokesperson Mária Linkešová informed the newswire.
One room was completely destroyed, and the interiors of the residential building were full of smoke, Regional Presidium of the Fire and Rescue Corpse reported. More than 40 people had to be evacuated. Several people suffered smoke inhalation, including children and two police officers who had to be treated in hospital.
The damage has been initially estimated at €25,000. Police have launched an investigation of general threat caused by neglect. | {

Experience, Van Hoff
By Lucid VR Marketing
We Welcome Arthur Van Hoff to Lucid's Board of Advisors
From left to right: Adam Rowell (Lucid Co-founder & CTO), Arthur Van Hoff, Han Jin (Lucid Co-founder & CEO)
We would like to welcome Arthur Van Hoff to Lucid's board of advisors! Arthur is a serial entrepreneur who has founded multiple start-ups and helped others climb the ranks to nationwide notoriety. His biggest claim to fame is founding Jaunt in 2013, which has been at the forefront of developing technology to understand and create immersive content experiences.
Over 40 Years of 3D Experience
Starting in the '80s, Arthur worked on depth map generation, photogrammetry, and 3D with dual and multi-cameras. His research and development culminated in the Jaunt One, a professional grade, 360° multi-camera system for filming high-end cinematic 3D VR movies. Since then he has taken the company in the direction of enabling the augmented reality tech of the future through spatial computing and machine learning. Jaunt recently launched the XR Cast, enabling the capture and distribution of volumetric video content in real time. In other words, you can capture any content you want, and turn it into a hologram to be stitched into another scene in real-time video.
Similarly, Lucid's 3D fusion technology enables depth sensing through artificial intelligence and has been deployed in millions of mass-produced devices from mobile phones to 3D cameras to drones, robots, and security cameras. Given Arthur's proven track record in computer vision, mobile applications, 3D imaging, and computational photography, we are extremely excited to see where this collaboration will take Lucid in the future.
A Leader That Drives Advancement
Here's what Han Jin, Lucid's CEO/Co-founder, had to say, "Arthur is an inspirational leader and technologist who reshaped the entire mobile and multi-camera space with groundbreaking inventions. He will help us bring AI, machine learning and 3D vision to more and more mobile devices. Lucid is proud to welcome him and look forward to him helping lead our technology research and advancements in AI and machine learning, so more devices, people and places around the world will discover the importance of depth and 3D data."

2 rows of 1 cell each with bgcolor.
To highlight text such as a receipe, a simple table with appropriate background colors can be useful. It can be nested in the cell of a larger table. Use cellpadding to space the text from edges.
