For anyone who may not be familiar with iMessage Stickers here is a brief explanation.
Apple has made it possible for you to make your messages a lot more interesting with the help of apps and stickers in iMessages. You can use stickers as stand-alone images, or slap them right on top of someone else's chat bubble (or sticker, or picture). Apps integrate information so you can, say, book a table at a restaurant or share movie times with others. Your friends can also change dates and times in some instances so everyone can collaborate together.

One Beautiful Duck
Some times I get caught up in the whole "I got to get there" thing and on my missions to make it to places that are on the bucket list, target rich, or just great shooting. I forget about stuff that is just a stones throw away. I remember a few years ago the price of gasoline had spiked to the point that I could not travel to those places I dearly love to be. I did a little exercise then, for a month I only photographed in places that were in walking distance. I normally walk 3-5 miles per day so it was not like I was limited to my backyard. I learned a lot that month about finding good places and good shots. With that experience in mind it was not too much of a chore to wander over to a local duck pond.
It was a truly crappy day, clouds were threatening rain and overall it was very dark. On the plus side, I could shoot all day. Nature's soft box was in full effect and although there was little of it the light was very even. At times the clouds would thin out and it would brighten up a bunch. I didn't bother bringing a bag and I was a bit taken back when I grabbed the camera and noticed that my 1.4x teleconverter was not attached. It pretty much lived on the 300mm lens but today it was gone. Given the circumstances it took me all of about 5 seconds to get over it and get excited about shooting at f2.8, a task impossible with he TC attached. Opening up that last stop of light really makes a difference not only with boosting shutter speed but also presenting a razor-thin depth of field and an outrageously creamy bokeh. Ducks should get close enough, I was not feeding them at all. I made some really beautiful images this week including the one you see above.
A couple of tips for shooting waterfowl on a stormy day. To get nice colors and reflections that you want to be sure to shoot in areas that are in complete shade. This will eliminate the gray of the clouds reflecting out of the water. You can see in the picture the ripple in front of the mallard is at an angle where it is reflecting the light from the clouds above. It makes a nice accent but big patches of the reflections can turn ugly especially if the water is calm. Shooting in complete shade will however bring shutter speeds way down. Down to an alarming speed but to compensate for that you are well served to shoot in short bursts of about 3 images. Waterfowl can be deceivingly fast when they are trying to get somewhere but also tend to linger around given the chance so choose your subject wisely and a slower shutter speed will work. If that is not enough of a reason for shooting in bursts you will also inevitably lose your desired focus with a super shallow DOF no matter how hard you try. Being able to choose from a series of images will give you the likelihood that one of this images has the focus you need.
Well gang, thanks for stopping by and until next week, happy shooting!
Please remember you can always follow me on Twitter or subscribe to the blog and get every post when it happens.
Ready Set…. 2
The week before last I ran down the lens choice and a couple of other things to take to Alaska. One of the things that helped drive the decision to go with the Tamron was the Nikon D800 Digital body. At 36 mega-pixels the D800 has a lot to offer with the big files and incredible low light performance and in theory should work very well with the slow Tamron 500mm lens. I should be able to crop away and or compensate for any vignettes and boost sensitivity enough to keep the shutter speed high enough for the slow f6.3 aperture at 500mm.. I am renting the D800 though because I just could not bring myself to buy last Summer, and that is because of the one huge limitation, shutter speed. The D800 is just too slow to be a well-rounded camera body that I can use day in and out. I want to wait for something better to come along. For special uses like huge portraits and close low light situations the D800 will shine I am sure and that is what it will be used for.
The other really big item to prep is weather protection. This morning the place where I am going to be is 37 degrees with rain forecast for the next 5 days. For a Southern California boy that is simply brutal. Preparing to handle the elements is probably the biggest challenge of the entire adventure. Lenscoat makes wet weather protection at reasonable prices and there is also the bit pricier Aquatech. I already use lenscoat covers so I am going with their pro series camera and lens cover. I am sure it will work just fine. My body is another story. I didn't know what to buy, I know I don't have what I need sitting in the closet short of some thermal underwear and hiking boots. I turned to Amazon for two reasons. First, a lot of the clothing I need is hard to find in retail stores in Southern California, and if you can find it, overpriced. Second, there are reviews to guide me towards the higher quality products. To my surprise cold weather clothes are more affordable than I thought. Boots, pants, gloves, headgear and a nice supply of warmers came in at less than $300. Less than what I budgeted. Making my buys during the hottest days of Summer helped too, I am sure.
Thanks for stopping by everyone. Stop by next week for another fun installment of Diary of a Birdshooter.

I woke up today to a sunny Sunday with springtime temperatures of 74 degrees! All these exclamations points….YES! We don't need any of your damn stinking snow down here. I'll watch TV if I want to see snow or my blogger banner thank you.
So folks, I'm overindulging in my recently purchased JibJab account. Again, I have taken photos from some of my Bloggerpalooza pals and, without their permission (you all know me, I DON'T get permission for posting photos which HAS gotten me into trouble with some folks who don't have enough to do in their lives other than monitor my blog for the slightest misstep). And yes folks, some may consider this "Christmas Card" of the Nutcracker Suite a wee bit disrespectful but there you go. We all need to get over it and get a sense of humor.
I especially like this one because my friends Dr. Spo and Someone of Phoenix, Arizona are aficionados (that's Spanish for Theat-Ah folks for you of the Great Unwashed) of the opera, symphony and stage productions.

Clean Up Your Neighborhood
The term "spring cleaning" seems to be the most popular but I believe there's just as much cleaning out of closets, garages and basements as we go from summer to fall. If your fall cleaning has unearthed a few things you don't want but don't know where to go with -- the Schuylkill County Fall Cleanup & Recycling Event might be just what you need.
First the rules:
1. Proof of County residency must be provided. A driver's license should do fine.

3. Fees will be charged for some items
4. This isn't actually a rule but a tip from me...if the collection hours are from 8 am to 2 pm don't show up at 7 am or 1:55 pm. Have a heart! Your borough or city workers will be at this all day. Don't show up super early expecting them to take care of you or five minutes before they're scheduled to close. Shoot for 30 minutes before closing, just in case there's a line.
Now, what's being collected:
1. Tires - only automobile, motorcycle, RV and light truck tires. You can only bring 10 tires per load with a maximum of 2 loads per county resident. Fee: $2 for rimless, $3 for those with rims

Are you new to vape? If you are, then you need to read this article to avoid some of the frustrations often encountered by new vapers. These helpful tips will ensure that you manage your habit well and do not fall victim to some of the common pitfalls that happen at the beginning. Believe me; you'll thank me for it in the end!
Tip 1: always carry an extra battery
When your battery runs out on your device, you have no option but to stop vaping. If you're anything like me, then you have a serious nicotine addiction, and not being able to vape can lead to some vexing moods. Girlfriends and pets had better watch out when my nicotine is low because I am one grumpy person and I might not give them pets...No, only joking, I'm not that bad. But you know what it's like when you run out of nicotine. The frustration can be immense.
Tip 2: always carry a spare device
This is something that many people overlook. They assume that if they have their battery backup, that all will be well and good. However, devices sometimes failed for reasons other than their batteries.
I have been vaping more than 5-years and some of the issues that I have encountered over the years include cracked tanks, faulty technology, and I have unfortunately stood on a device. These problems are not solved by changing the battery!
I always carry a backup device, but I'll choose a low end, cheap one, just to get me through. I use a vape pen to help here.
Tip 3: always keep spare coils
This is something that seems to take ages for you to acquire as a habit when you first start Vaping. However, over the months and years, you'll learn to keep spare coils on you at all time. They can go all of a sudden without any warning, and again, it puts you out of sorts because you can't get your nicotine hit.
I always carry a three or four coils on me at any one time just to be on the safe side. I've never had to use them all in a single process, but I have had bad batches of coils where one or two will go straight away so having a good number of coils on you helps to minimise those risks.
Tip 4: Always keep bad juices
I always have one or two juices on the go at any one time in addition to whatever juice I'm smoking at the moment. For example, right now I'm smoking Diamond Mist e liquid, but I also have a couple of bottles of other juices as a backup supply.
This isn't only to make sure that you don't run out of juice and therefore can't get your nicotine hit. It's also because sometimes you get so used to the juice that you can't taste it anymore. So I might have to break up my Diamond Mist e liquid by Vaping dinner lady e-liquid for a few days just to switch the flavours off little bit and bring the diamond Mist back to life.

Kate Middleton put on a brave face and a bang on-trend berry tone outfit yesterday for her first UK appearance since her her topless picture scandal.
The Duchess Of Cambridge was joined by her husband Prince William for a visit to the Middle Temple – one of the four ancient Inns Of Court in London. Wearing a full berry skirt and a matching fitted jacket by designer Paule Ka, the Duchess met students who had been awarded scholarships in honour of Wills' late mum, Princess Diana.
She teamed her outfit with black opaque tights and black suede court shoes, showing us she's definitely popped her nude patent heels away for winter. Kate also showed off lighter locks, which were teased into the bounciest of blow-dries, completing her polished look.
Latest Stories
Today, the royal couple will travel to Burton-On-Trent to meet England football manager Roy Hodgson and his squad. Tomorrow, Kate will meet local community groups and charities in Newcastle while Prince William attends the funeral of his former nanny, Olga Powell, who passed away last month. We'll keep you posted on all the royal developments as and when they happen… RM

The beta release for Code Collaborator v5.0 is now available (check out the highlights of the new features or browse the complete list).
If you are not currently using Code Collaborator then trying out v5.0 is easy: download it from the web site and install it. No muss, no fuss.
If you are currently using Code Collaborator then you have three options for how to install the Code Collaborator v5.0 server software:
Option 1 is the easiest: just download and install the Code Collaborator v5.0 server software and you are ready to go. If you are installing onto the same machine as your existing Code Collaborator server software, be sure to specify a different directory, port number, and database instance.
Option 2 is almost as easy: do a complete backup of your existing Code Collaborator server. That's the most important step! :-) Then download and install the Code Collaborator v5.0 server software and when prompted, select the directory that contains your existing Code Collaborator server software. This will cause the installer to upgrade your existing installation.
Option 3 is not difficult, but requires an additional step. Do a complete backup of your existing Code Collaborator server - as with option 2, this is the most important step! After the backup finishes, install the exact same build of the Code Collaborator server software that you are currently using, but if you are installing onto the same machine then install it into a different directory so that the installer will not upgrade your current installation. You will also need to specify a different port number and database instance.
For example, if you are currently running v4.0.854, then install build 854 of v4.0 (older versions of the installer are available here). After the installer finishes it will display a web page in your default browser. That web page will have a button for creating the Code Collaborator database tables - do not push that button! You don't want those tables to be created because you are about to restore from your existing database.
Restore the backup that you just created to the new installation of Code Collaborator. Then run the installer for v5.0 and when prompted select the directory that contains the Code Collaborator server that you just installed. This will cause the installer to upgrade that installation.
One final note: if you chose Option 1 or Option 3 then you will end up with two instances of the Code Collaborator server running: one for your older version and one that is running v5.0. If you are running both instances on the same machine and if the operating system on that machine is Windows, then there is one additional step. The Code Collaborator server installer for Windows always uses the same Windows service name: ccollab-server. This means that after you install a second instance of the Code Collaborator server on a Windows system, the Windows service named ccollab-server points to the new installation. The original installation no longer has a Windows service entry and is therefore no longer running.
This problem is easy to fix. In a command window set the working directory to the original installation of the Code Collaborator server software. Then enter this command:
ccollab-server /install <service-name>
You can specify anything you want for <service-name> except for ccollab-server. This will create a new Windows service with its own name for your existing Code Collaborator server installation.

Ubisoft has announced the premiere of an upcoming film about their roof-raising, wall-breaking, window-smashing shooter Rainbow Six Siege. The documentary about Siege's esports scene is set to launch at a series of special screenings in January.
To Win it All: The Road to the Six Invitational - which is not a particularly catchy title - follows the lives of three of Siege's top players: G2's Pengu, Evil Geniuses' Canadian (Evil Geniuses), and Team Liquid's Zig, as they work their way through a year of intense competitive action. The trio will strive to not only the greatest Siege players on the planet, but to bag themselves a spot at the year's finale: The Six Invitational and its one million dollar prize pool.
To Win it All will debut on January 24 at Cinemark events in Los Angeles and San Francisco. There will be treats and goodies for those in attendance. There will also be the opportunity to win tickets to next year's Six Invitational, to be held once again in Montreal, Canada. For more information, visit Cinemark right here.
Rainbow Six Siege is available now on PS4, PC and Xbox One.

As an email marketer, my job is to dress up a brand's message, get it an invite to the ball and then watch it dance. If you think about it, email is a bit like Cinderella: A little ad covered in muck that just needs a little help from her fairy godmother to get to the ball so she can dance with the prince. Here's a breakdown of this Cinderella email story.
The Hateful Stepmother
Remember all those blog posts declaring "Email is Dead"? Yeah, that's the voice of the evil stepmom–constantly telling a growing community of email specialists and experts that their passions are going to be smashed. I can't think of a single year that has gone by since choosing email as a career path that I haven't been reminded that my career may be short lived. Thankfully we have email masters like Jordie van Rijn to help us combat these naysayers in a witty and informative manner with sites like EmailIsNotDead.com.
An Invite to the Ball
If the ball is a subscriber's inbox, then the invite to that ball is a subscriber's opt-in. Subscribers are picky. They don't want to let just anyone attend. They only want the best–the ones with the most stylish gowns and best dance moves like a good subject line and a nicely formatted preheader. Don't expect the prince to ask Cinderella to dance if her hair and makeup are garish. Remember that her princely audience is not only picky, but flighty as well. One wrong step and she'll find her invite to the next ball rescinded and some other beauty on the prince's arm in no time.
Dress to Impress
Everyone wants a dress with nice clean lines and a well built form, but it's the accessories that really draw the eye. For email, I can think of no better accessories than good dynamic content and personalization. When most people think about data, they don't normally think of it as a creative pursuit. However, when data is analysed, measured and finessed, the resulting insights can be applied thoughtfully and with elegant detail in a way that mimics a couture designer adding embellishments to a handmade masterpiece.
The prince is looking for someone who is well mannered, nicely adorned and speaks directly to him, not the crowd of other guys. He will only dance with someone who gives him a true one-to-one experience. And let's face it, Cinderella can do exactly that.
Those Ugly Stepsisters
In this world where email is Cinderella, authentication records are most certainly the ugly stepsisters. Before Cinderella can go to the ball, she has to make sure her stepsisters are satisfied with their outfits. This is similar to SPF, DKIM, and sometimes even DMARC in the email world.
Of course, Cinderella must also complete her chores. For an email, it's those tedious can-spam requirements and filter checks. Thankfully, the email community has a magic fairy godmother, Litmus, who is here to make sure Cinderella gets past those stepsisters and looks good when she arrives.
Ready to Dance
Okay, Cinderella has made it to the ball, and you're in the inbox. Now what? Will she be a wallflower or will she bust a move and impress the prince? This is where the game really begins. Maybe the prince will choose the shy girl with the demure teaser and somewhat expected dance moves or maybe he'll go for someone who has been progressively profiling him for some time. Maybe he falls for the glitter and chooses the girl testing out an exclusive shopping experience.
Cinderella has competition, but if she does her thing right, she'll get that dance with the prince and maybe win the proposal she's really after. Again though, the prince is fickle and likely to change his mind on a whim. If she doesn't get a proposal, she can't drop her game and wear that same dress to the next ball–he'll want to see something fresh that pushes the edge of the inbox and makes the ball more interesting.
The Clock Strikes Midnight
Cinderella's night at the ball has come to an end. She made it to the ball, danced with the prince and even got a proposal (woot, the subscriber converted!). While she had a blast at this particular engagement, there's another ball in just two days that she needs to prep for. And the prince is eagerly waiting to see what she has in store for him next.
Now it's time for post-send analytics to jump in and see where Cinderella can make improvements. Maybe it's the color of her dress–should she split test it and wear a different color on each side? Should she wear a tiara or try a new hairstyle?
We'll just have to wait and see what happens at the next ball to find out if Cinderella will live happily ever after.

WALEED Aly has weighed into the Opera House debate, attacking "rich and powerful" radio host Alan Jones and accusing politicians of "selling out" by supporting the move.
The Project host targeted both sides of politics who supported the move to advertise The Everest horse race on the Opera House sails, describing it as a "deal that had already been done without any input from normal people".
During Tuesday night's episode of The Project, Aly used his famous "Something We Need To Talk About" segment to criticise the decision to broadcast racing colours and numbers on the Opera House.
"The point is, this places belong to all of us and if you flog them off to the highest bidder you tear up the fabric of a city," Aly said.
In the wake of the Opera House controversy, Waleed asks – who are your politicians really working for? #TheProjectTV pic.twitter.com/1SNlUl1Hre— The Project (@theprojecttv) October 9, 2018
"The politicians on either side just can't see what the fuss is about … and you know what I actually believe that they believe it but that's the problem.
"In the community we might have differing views on the Opera House thing, but if we don't realise that co-opting our most famous national icon to promote a big money horse race that didn't even exist two years ago was always going to piss off a lot of people, then you'd have to be seriously out of touch and sadly that seems to be exactly where our politicians are."
Aly also attacked Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews, who was slammed for supporting an Apple Store in Melbourne's Federation Square.
"Andrews never saw it coming, but they never do because our politicians see your public spaces as assets to be sold off simply because a powerful industry or some mega corporation would really like to buy it," Aly said.
Citing a Fairfax report which claims Jones has financial interests in the racing industry, Aly thanked the talkback radio host for doing voters a "massive favour because in one interview he has pulled back the curtain" and giving the Opera House plan national attention.
"The thing is Jones has a significant personal interest in this race succeeding not just this year but into the future, and so do his mates," Aly said.
Aly ended his tirade by revealing he had sent Prime Minister Scott Morrison, Labor MP Anthony Albanese, NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian and NSW opposition leader Luke Foley a dollar sign pin, because it was "far more honest" than the Australia flag pin some of them usually wore.
"It's multiple parties in government who think that because they sold themselves out ages ago, they might as well selling you out too," he said.
It's not the first time The Project has tacked the debate over the Opera House, with comedian and Steve Price coming to blows over the controversial plan on Monday night.
After Price accused Helliar of being "so obsessed" with the plan, the comedian hit back and said the radio host was "w***er" for being in favour of the racing ad.
"I don't know what the big deal about this is!" Pricey shares his two cents on the Opera House controversy and explains where else he's shared his cents! #TheProjectTV pic.twitter.com/z0k22xljon— The Project (@theprojecttv) October 8, 2018
The NSW government has defended its decision to advertise the $13 million horse race on the Opera House's sails, despite a petition and protests against the move.
Mr Morrison has also backed the decision to advertise the race on the Opera House, telling 2GB on Monday it was a "no-brainer".
The plan to advertise the race on the sails first made headlines when Jones was criticised for a "bullying" interview with Opera House chief Louise Herron.
The interview, which he has since apologised for, saw Jones threaten to have Ms Herron sacked unless she changed her mind about opposing the horse racing advertisement.
Jones was the target of a prank from The Chaser on Tuesday morning, with the comedians projecting the radio host's personal phone number on the Opera House alongside the message: "ADVERTISE HERE: Call Alan."
His number has since been disconnected.

Here are some eco-friendly methods you can use to kill the bacteria living in your kitchen sink drain.

Pour a cup of baking soda down the sink drain. Let it set for 10 minutes to allow it to stick to the inside of the drain. Follow this with a cup of vinegar.

The Schomburg Center of the New York Public Library is one of the first institutions which came to our attention when we began building a website on Composers and Musicians of African Descent. Femi Lewis has written an article on the namesake of the Schomburg Center, Arturo Alfonso Schomburg:
Arturo Alfonso Schomburg: Preserving the Past
Femi Lewis, About.com Guide
Afro-Puerto Rican historian, writer and activist Arturo Alfonso Schomburg was a prominent figure during the Harlem Renaissance, collecting literature, art and other artifacts pertaining to people of African descent. His collections were purchased by the New York Public Library and today, the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture is one of the most prominent research libraries focused on the African diaspora.
Key Details
- Birth date: January 24, 1874
- Parents: Maria Josefa and Carlos Federico Schomburg
- Spouse: Elizabeth Hatcher d. 1900; Elizabeth Morrow Taylor
- Children: Arthur Alfonso Jr., Maximo Gomez, Kingsley Guarionex, Reginald Stanton and Nathaniel Jose.
- Death: June 8, 1938
Early Life and Education
As a child, Schomburg was told by one of his teachers that people of African descent had no history and no achievements. This teacher's words would inspire Schomburg to dedicate the rest of his life to discovering the important accomplishments of people of African descent. Later, Schomburg attended Instituto Popular where he studied commercial printing and later, at St. Thomas College, Schomburg studied Africana Literature.
Migration to the Main Land
In 1891, Schomburg came to New York City where he became an activist with the Revolutionary Committee of Puerto Rico, playing an integral role in fighting for Puerto Rico and Cuba's independence from Spain. Living in Harlem, Schomburg coined the term "afroborinqueno" to celebrate his heritage as a Latino of African descent.
To support his family, Schomburg worked a variety of jobs--teaching spanish, working as a messenger and clerk in a law firm. However, his passion was identifying artifacts that disproved the notion that people of African descent had no history or achievements. Schomburg's first article, "Is Hayti Decadent?" appeared in a 1904 issue of The Unique Advertiser. In 1909, Schomburg wrote a profile on the poet and independence fighter, Gabriel de la Concepcion Valdez entitled Placido a Cuban Martyr.
An Esteemed Historian
In the early 1900s, African-American men such as Carter G. Woodson and W. E. B. Du Bois were encouraging others to learn African-American history. During this time, Schomburg established the Negro Society for Historical Research in 1911 with John Howard Bruce. The purpose of the Negro Society for Historical Research would be to support the research efforts of African-American, African and Caribbean scholars. As a result of Schomburg's work with Bruce, he was appointed president of the American Negro Academy. In this leadership position, Schomburg co-edited the Encyclopedia of the Colored Race.
Schomburg's essay, "The Negro Digs Up His Past" was published in a special issue of Survey Graphic, which promoted the artistic endeavors of African-American writers. The essay was later included in the anthology The New Negro, edited by Alain Locke.

Resident Evil 3 fans have been speculating over when the new Capcom will be revealed for PS4 and Xbox One.
The project hasn't been officially acknowledged but a series of leaks including official cover art has outed the game early.
And now Resident Evil 3 Remake fans may be close to finding out more details regarding Capcom's release plans.
According to a series of new leaks, the famous developer will be announcing their next Resident Evil project this month.
And fans won't have to wait around long to find out when the Resident Evil 3 Remake release date will be set.
Following a high profile leak, the new Resident Evil 3 Remake will reportedly be revealed during an upcoming PlayStation State of Play event.
Several industry insiders has shared as much online, revealing that Resi 3 will be unveiled during the December 10 stream.
As confirmed by Sony earlier this month, the new PlayStation State of Play event will be held on Tuesday, December 10.
It will include news covering new game reveals coming to PS4 and PS4 Pro consoles but it won't cover anything to do with the PS5.
This might disappoint fans waiting on next-gen news from Sony but the upside is that there will be plenty of room for new reveals.
And according to the latest rumours, Resident Evil 3 Nemesis will be among them.
Sony hasn't revealed much on what new game reveals will be under the spotlight during the stream, which is scheduled to run for around 20 minutes.
We also don't how much information will be provided during the show, even if Resident Evil 3 Nemesis is featured.
We would expect at least a release year to be confirmed and a Q1 2020 launch doesn't seem out of the question.
"The year is almost over, but we've got one more State of Play to share with you," Sony confirms.
"It airs Tuesday, 10th December at 2pm GMT / 3pm CET, and you can watch live on Twitch, YouTube and Facebook.
"We've got around 20 minutes of new game reveals, release date announcements, new gameplay footage, PlayStation Worldwide Studios updates, and more.
"And it probably bears repeating: Don't expect any updates related to our next-gen plans in this episode.
"You can watch live on Twitch, YouTube and Facebook, as usual. Can't wait to see what you think."
As mentioned above, the new Resi 3 project was leaked via new game art appearing online, showcasing updated characters designs Jill Valentine and Carlos Oliveira.
Nemesis was also featured and shows an antagonist that just can't wait to sink his teeth into a new challenge.
Following the leak, Resi 3 was linked to a reveal during The Game Awards 2019, until host Geoff Keighley ruled it out.
He told fans online: "There are no plans (never were) to do anything with Resident Evil 3 at the show.
"A lot of these "leaks" are completely wrong. Nothing about our show has leaked as of this writing."
So fans will have their finger's crossed that Sony's State of Play will be where we learn more about the Resident Evil 3 Remake release date.

When on July 18, 2018 Hadi Sirika, the Minister of State for Aviation told a large audience, including aviation experts during a diplomatic trip to the United Kingdom of Nigeria's preparedness to float "Nigeria Air", many were ecstatic about the project.
He said, the project was aimed at resurrecting the defunct Nigeria Airways.
The project was said to bring about innovation in the Air sector of the country.
It therefore, came as a quaking bombshell, when it was announced that the proposed project has been put on hold.
One continues to wonder if the motive behind the project was well thought-out and planned, as the sudden suspension clearly portrays a wrong approach and perhaps wasteful decision.
Or how do you explain that a project supposedly well planned and driven actively was put on hold due to alleged investors' Apathy?
It would be recalled that on July 18, 2018 at the Farnborough international Airshow in the UK, the Nigerian minister of state for Aviation announced that the erstwhile Nigeria airways will be making a return to the skies as Nigeria air.
The minister said the Nigerian government will inject 8.8million dollars into Nigeria Air as viability gap funding. He said the private sector investors will bring some 300million dollars as start-up capital.
Obviously, it was shocking when the public got to know that Nigerian Air may not fly for now. Perhaps the project would have continued if only communication was efficient or if knowledgeable Nigerians had been involved rather than the snippets dropped here and there by those in charge. Even the views of the Nigerian air operators were waved off as the experts foresaw loopholes in floating a National airline from scratch, when there were still many deficits on the act. One of the notable Nigerians who spoke against the investment was Oby Ezekwesili, the former minister of Education, who faulted the plan and financial implication of Nigerian Air.
The decay of Nigeria airways commenced in 2003, when planes became flying coffins due to substandard purchase of Aircraft. The Aviation industry has witnessed several losses of lives and property worth billions.
Transportation by Air became a risk to the masses, everything that could go wrong with the Air sector did go wrong from the disengagement and payoff of the former staff still pending to the aborted or better still pending project of Nigeria Air. The project will continually be hollow and a mere drain pipe on the public fund at the expense of the Nigerian tax payer as long as the problem in the Air sector is not checked.
Having a newly birthed Nigeria Air is a good and welcome development. However, it would have to go beyond Sirika's optimism and nice words to become an achievable dream.
There must be a renewed commitment from the government and private sector players to see Nigeria Air work out, as Nigeria is a sleeping giant that has been stirred from sleep.
The aviation sector is one of the sectors in the country's economy that can shake up this giant to consciousness if well harnessed and utilized.
Therefore, investors with sincere motives should be bought into plan.
Also, there should be an agreed plan of such intended and magnificent project just as the place of private public partnership remains valid for this kind of idea.
Furthermore, Air Nigeria should go beyond some set of political individuals. We have experts who are Nigerians and will be willing to be part of the think-thank on the initiative and this should be explored totally.
Nevertheless, there should be political will to have Air Nigeria rather than vote appeal intention.
A laudable project such as Air Nigeria is strategic to the economic growth of the nation and aviation sector. Government should endeavor to resuscitate it. It must not be allowed to die.

Over the past couple of years, Sheila K Cameron has completed the reissue of her 7-CD back catalogue and recently released Those They Chose, an album whose artless title reflects the fact that the songs featured were selected for play on the Women Of Substance podcast. It's typical of Cameron that the title manages to be both very direct and rather oblique at the same time. The songs, which all come from her previous releases, have been remastered for this release.
Beginning in Glasgow, 'As You Wrapped The String', opens the album, with gentle lushness, followed by the harmonica blues lope of 'I Looked Alright This Morning'.
The few covers featured are generally delivered quite sparely and simply, like the short, sweet 'Drink To Me Only'. 'The Water Is Deep' has a quiet determination, but it's Ewan MacColl's 'The First Time Ever' that really goes somewhere earthy and raw. MacColl famously loathed the various versions of his song, but Cameron invests it with such emotional truth that surely even he would have been persuaded.
Musical arrangements are kept subtle, never overpowering Cameron's voice. 'With You In My Life' is a touching tribute to a partner or friend, backed with gently jazzy brass that brings a touch of the 1950s. A fuzzy Hammond organ sound lurks behind the resolute blues of 'You Don't Know My Mind', while 'Go On Then' stretches country-wards.
Cameron's singing is not pitch-perfect but it's absolutely authentic, intimate and lived-in, a real voice of experience making a visceral connection. She can be warm, tender and sensual as in 'My Love Is Velvet'. On 'Goodbye Baby Blues' she is darkly world-weary, the long-drawn out delivery of the word 'choose' in the line 'you have left me with no option but to choose these goodbye baby blues' says everything about the pain beneath the decision. Occasionally, she adopts a semi-spoken approach, well-suited to the poetic repetition in 'All You Really Need Is The Sea'.
Finishing up in the British Columbian archipelago of Haida Gwaii, Cameron takes her leave (for now) with the reflective, 'Where The Last Tide Runs'. A steadfast traveller on her own road, Cameron is rare, precious and utterly unique.

The whole idea of carbon sequestration is a bit of a game isn't it? Governments play at trading credits with each other, they gently cajole (who said manipulate?) figures and statistics to meet targets. Then they have endless meetings where they agree to move any targets that they still can't meet. Why are playing this game?
It's like a lottery pool on the future of the planet. If we hit the jackpot, then yay, congratulations, the planet continues and we all survive. Yet still we get to be just as selfish as before.
If we lose, then who do we blame? The people who were in power at the time of virtually no progress with the endless game playing?
Sometimes it just feels like a lose-lose situation. The means, and the finances do actually exist to make a serious difference. What doesn't exist is the motivation. Certainly not with enough people to force change through. A tiny minority are fantastically vocal, noticeable and effective for what they are. When you're a sole voice shouting in a howling tornado it's not easy to make any impact though. Particularly when all you see is blind bickering and trading over carbon credits!
It's such a frustrating problem though. Playing the game means gambling with such massive stakes that any outsider would claim we're all totally insane. There is no backup plan beyond hoping for the best. There is nothing left in the bank to pull out should the next hand go against us. We do not have a second earth in standby ready to move to in case we need it. Nor do we have the means to get there anyway.
All of which sounds like I've given up. I haven't. I'm still a voice, as are you. We just have to keep chipping away, doing what's right. Playing the crazy earth lottery. Let's just hope we win before the odds have swung too far in the wrong direction. Good luck all.

oh yes - and I have been tagged by Helen! I don't know enough blogs to tag others, but at least I want to write the 7 things about me that people might not know:
I cannot sit still with empty hands - it drives me nuts, which is one of the reasons that I barely (only by accident) go anywhere without knitting, a spindle etc.
I don't think there have been many days in my life since maybe teenager age that I have been without at least a little bit of knitting. lately spinning has taken over, but it has to be one of those two for at least a few minutes every day!
the one "addiction" that's even worse than the textiles is reading. I have been reading since the age of 5 and at times I have read 3-4 books a week. with all my other interests that has slowed down a bit - but not much:)
I often think I chose the wrong job - I should have become either a cook or a patissier!
when I was younger I wanted to be a doctor - a surgeon to be precise! I was too lazy to do so - but I still make up for that by watching CSI etc. on tv!
my favourite "sweet" isn't chocolate - but liquorice, the stronger the taste the better. not for me is the sugary sweet stuff, the biting sharp stuff (called salty) it has to be! unfortunately I haven't found a source over here in ireland - yet!
I tend to be too generous - usually in time, as I don't have enough money to be generous with. when I have finished a project and someone comes along and admires it - I have the bad habit of offering it to them. a bad habit because I very rarely keep anything handmade for myself and end up like the shoemaker with the ugly shoes: you won't find many handmade things in my kitchen, bathroom or living room. I do sometimes make an item of clothing for myself - and keep it, but even those are rare occasions.
