The price of power is responsibility for the public good.
Quotations by Withrop Aldrich
Quotes :
- "The abolishment could lead to a rise in coal… "The abolishment could lead to a rise in coal prices immediately. Furthermore, increases may also arise in power tariff as a result of the country's price pass-through system." - Zhang Qi

I am not strong because I can force others to do what I wish as a result of my play with them; but because I can allow them to do what they wish in the course of my play with them." ~Professor James P.

Love: Today we find Jesus giving us the commandment to love one another just as he has loved us: without any conditions, without any boundaries. As the English poet, Edmund Spenser reminds us: 'Love is the lesson which the Lord us taught'.
Pray that each of us today might begin to love a little more in our lives, banishing all hate, prejudice and lethargy and replacing them with love.

New Years Resolutions Can Really Work
Don't give up on bettering yourself
I know a lot of people that make New Years resolutions only to break them within the first week of the new year.
I'm not here to say I know how to keep resolutions, but I will tell you I have been able to keep mine every year and build on it.
I would call my resolutions ongoing ones. I've been making the same two resolutions for the past 7 years and evey year I feel I get a little closer.
Resolution #1, be a better person. Sounds easy, but with all the stress in daily life, it's harder than you think. The one thing I would say is to always write down your resolution somewhere you see every day. The reminders always gave me that extra effort to really come thru on what I thought would keep my resolution alive.
Resolution #2, be a better father. I had a great father myself, so being a great dad is something I really want to accomplish. The definition of what a great dad is may vary, but I want to be the guy that everyone looks at and says, "that guy is a great dad."
I have both of those resolutions written down on paper and I carry them with me every day. I read them, digest them, and everytime I think I am beginning to stray from my goal of keeping them, I read them again.
This may seem rather mundane and unexciting, but the discipline of it, is what helps me and keeps me moving forward.
Maybe you have never made a new years resolution or quit because you got tired of letting yourself down. It's always easier to say you tried, but it's more more rewarding, when you can say you accomplished.
Let's make 2019 a banner year!

Mortgage LondonLondon Mortgage
Yes, that's right - that's four times the mean monthly salaries in the fund of only £30,338. Walk compare considered min firsttime buyers must acquire to get a mortgage basing on a 90% mortgage with a 4 Standard. Compare the net wage calculator used and the British wage calculator to get an estimation of the year' s pay.
Londoners who buy a row home for the first purpose would have to pay a total of 142,000 pounds a year to get on the stairs. The purchase of a freestanding real estate in the capitol as a new owners seems also totally unthinkable, if the numbers of Go Compare are something you can orientate yourself on - the budget would have to make enormous £275.000.
Overall, Go Compare's study said that for the first of its kind purchasers will need an £50,000 median floor rate to buy a home in the UK at the country's £184,682 median home rate. However, it is not only in London that there are apparently priceless apartments - in 51 of the 65 towns examined in this study, the mean wage is below the level necessary to buy a home.
Oxford, Brighton, Edinburgh and Bristol are the most expensive towns after London in the UK. However Blackburn, Rumpf, Blackpool, Grimsby and Stoke-on-Trent are the least expensive places to buy real estate because a £15,000 wage is enough to buy an apartment. According to the Office for National Statistics, the UK market is £284,000 ($431,874) on a property, on an average.
London is the hardest thing. Mean purchase prices for a London home are now £522,000 ($793,849). No wonder why the London house purchase threshold is so high, because with a 10% margin, then tax stamps, and the ability to resist the Bank of England's credit-income test, it means homes need to be superfinancially solvent.
BuE's stresstest makes banks lending only to buyers who are able to endure a surge in interest Rates and that the mortgage needed was no more than 4. 5 x the salaries. The Royal Institution of Chartered Survey said this October in its October edition of the Royal Institution of Chartered Survey (RICS) that UK housing costs are likely to grow by 4.5% per year over the next five years (a combined growth of around 25%).
RICS' head of economics said that real estate is becoming more and more "unaffordable" during this period. So, it looks like if you are a first-time buyer looking to get on the Property Ladder, it may be worth doing it as soon as possible because prices are not going to go down anyways soon.
To see exactly where the cheapest place to buy a home in the UK is, take a look at this table:

Hosted by G. K. Beale Shane Rosenthal
Throughout Israel's long history, true worship was limited to the area of the tabernacle, which was later transformed to become the Jerusalem temple. But in John chapter four, Jesus says that "the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth." What are the implications of this statement, and are there any hints in the Old Testament that such a transition would take place? On this program, Shane Rosenthal discusses this with G.K. Beale, author of The Temple and the Church's Mission.

2018 Range Rover Sport Shown
When comparing the 2019 Range Rover Sport vs. Range Rover Velar, drivers in the Lexington, KY area can expect both models to offer a truly luxurious SUV touring experience. However, each of these models represents luxury in a different way: while the new Range Rover Sport offers all of the power and off-road capability that drivers expect from a Land Rover, the Velar is distinguished more by its stylish interior than by its available drivetrains. Read on to discover if the Velar or Range Rover Sport is a better fit for your needs.
The high-end technology features of the 2019 Range Rover Sport share many similarities with those in the 2019 Range Rover Velar. However, the Velar interior offers some color options and materials you won't find in the Sport, including a Dapple Grey Premium Textile interior. Both models offer intuitive, highly-functional interior features:
Drivers who choose the Range Rover Sport will have the option to select from six different engines, ranging from the baseline 3.0-Liter Td6 Diesel engine to a supercharged 5.0-Liter gas V8 with SVR. For the first time, the Sport is also available with a 2.0-Liter Plug-In Hybrid option.
The Velar starts out with a Turbocharged 2.0-Liter 4-Cylinder engine, and is available with a 2.0-Liter 4-Cylinder turbocharged diesel engine and a 3.0-Liter supercharged gas V6. Compare the performance of both models here:
Both the Range Rover Sport and the Range Rover Velar are capable SUV options for Lexington, KY drivers. Ultimately, which model you choose will depend primarily on your sense of style and driving habits. The Sport model is certainly the more capable off-roader, but the uniquely stylish, cargo-capable Velar is equally appealing (especially in white). To learn more about what sets these models apart, compare the Range Rover Sport to the BMW X5, or compare the Velar to the BMW X4. Or, contact us today to set up a test drive to experience these models in person!

Geoff Billington has been a leading figure on the show jumping circuit for over 30 years. He boasts both European and World Championship team bronze medals and has won numerous grands prix. Committed to an equestrian career, he went on to serve an apprenticeship with the top show jumper David Bowen, who is now regarded as one of today's most outstanding trainers.
In 1976 Geoff rode Talk Of The North at his first international competition as part of the Nations Cup team in Olsztyn, Poland. He represented Great Britain again at the Hamburg CSIO in 1981, and has since been a valued member of the Nations Cup teams, appearing no less than 50 times and helping to secure nine victories.
Geoff is most famous for his partnership with the much loved It's Otto, who received the BSJA Team Lifetime Award in 2001. When It's Otto arrived at Geoff's yard as a six-year old Geoff had planned to sell him, but following a chance injury he failed the vetting.
Geoff is not only renowned as a horseman, but is also something of an entertainer, known for doing impressions of his fellow riders. As well as residential and one to one individual training sessions, Geoff also runs numerous clinics throughout the year at training centres around the country.

Number 40 on the NFL Network's "Top 100" is O.J. Simpson. Simpson, despite being a premier running back, is now known for being an alleged murderer who was acquitted in a highly publicized trial, but then found guilty in a civil trial. He escaped paying a lot of money by going bankrupt. He currently is in jail for something akin to robbery with a weapon.
Simpson was the first pick in the first round by the Buffalo Bills in 1969. He was a Heisman Trophy winner out of USC. Simpson was the premier back of the 1970s and, considering the fact the Bills were a crummy team, it would be interesting to see how well he would have done on a strong team. He is best known (for football) for his 2,003-yard season in 1973.
Simpson had an 11-season career in which he played 135 games. He ended up with 14,368 yards, of which 11,236 were rushing yards. Simpson has a fan ranking of 44.
He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1985.
Number 39 on the countdown was Gino Marchetti. Marchetti is the legendary defensive end of the Baltimore Colts after spending his first year with the Dallas Texans (ultimately the Cowboys).
Marchetti was known as a vicious pass rusher. He was drafted in 1952 in round two as the 14th pick. Marchetti's career spanned 161 games in 15 seasons. He was in the Pro-Bowl 11 times.
Marchetti has no fan ranking due to the era he played in. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1972.
Number 38 on our list is flanker Lance Alworth, who was the premier flanker of his day. His nickname was "Bambi" for his speed and smooth running, and he was the first player from the AFC inducted into the Hall of Fame.
Alworth was drafted out of Arkansas ninth in the second round. Alworth did not have a huge career, but for the time he played (136 games over 11 seasons), he was a major standout. He was known mainly for his speed and was lucky that he learned under Sid Luckman.
Alworth ended his career with 542 receptions for 10, 266 yards and 85 touchdowns, including the first touchdown for the Dallas Cowboys in their Super Bowl VI victory. He caught a pass in every game he played in the AFC.
He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1978. He had no fan ranking.
As an aside, Al Davis was then with the Chargers; he signed Alworth. Also, I wonder how Alworth would have done if he had played with the five-yard bump and run rule.

Twitter is a key part of any social media marketing campaign.
However, you don't have to have a blog in order to make money through Twitter. There are several ways that you can make money through the social network without trying to sell your own products or services. Twitter is a powerful platform unto itself, not just a conduit for marketing another site. You can create a Twitter account around a profitable niche — making money online, online education, or motherhood, for example — and amass a large number of followers interested in that niche.
Then you can tweet links to interesting content from around the web, offering your followers something of value without ever having to create content yourself.

It may seem like they're turning a corner and embarking on a new phase of the relationship. It may be that they have been together for a long time and things have been going well, but something feels like it should change. It's only natural that two individuals who are in an intimate relationship together, both with their own needs and aspirations, make decisions in life that will affect their partner. Everyone is on their own journey, but when you are in a committed relationship, that journey starts to intersect and life choices are made in synchronicity with that significant other. Often, the pressure to define a relationship or reach particular milestones comes from outside the relationship. Pressure from family Marriage is a tradition. Financial security When a couple has been together for some time, they share their entire lives.

The first date sets the tone and proposes the type of relationship you're looking for. Is it a casual fling, or something more serious? How To Give Criticism To Your Man Without Getting Mad. Unless your guy is from outer space then there have probably been times when he's done something to upset you – most likely unintentionally – after all they are from Mars and we are from Venus.
It's no secret that men and women have different brains and the way in which we think and perceive things can vary from each other. This can inevitably make relationships trying at times and conflicts can arise but there is a good way to deal with these differing of opinions and a not so good way. If you know you have a genuinely good man in your life then you know that dealing with life's arguments and conflicts need to be dealt with in a balanced constructive way.
If you find yourself getting mad, angry and acting out when you feel he's done something wrong then you might want to learn to deal with the situation in a healthy, calm way using what I like to call 'constructive criticism'. 1.

When it comes to metalworking, a question often asked is …"casting or forging?"
The discussion around casting conversions has seen greater debate over the past few years as companies start looking for either a better supply-chain solution or stronger, sounder and technically superior components. As engineers begin to evaluate the long term benefits of forgings compared to castings or fabrications, they've begun to realize that forgings can be every bit as competitive price-wise while delivering top-quality components. Additionally, (contrary to popular beliefs) with the more recent advances in forging technology, forging facilities are able to produce forgings for applications requiring more complex shapes.
Forging is a viable solution to your problem if you find yourself in any of the below situations:
Today's high strength material users are increasingly obliged by everyday economic and competitive realities to seek alternatives to their current manufacturing processes. The reality that forgings can be used for more than simple parts (and forged at very large dimensions) is slowly being realized. Companies who are looking for a better competitive advantage have started seeking the help of forging facilities with the metallurgical know-how to deliver improved products, processes and, especially, costs. If you or your company has design control and you are currently using a casting or fabrication for a high-wear or critical component, you are a perfect candidate. However, you must be willing to put resources toward truly finding a new solution. Additionally, your metalworking partner must have the metallurgical and forging knowledge necessary to work closely with your engineering department.
Forgings cannot replace 100% of the steel castings currently or conceivably in the world. Reality is, not every opportunity will result in a conversion. In some situations, castings or fabrications are the best solution. For those reasons, at Scot Forge, conversions are handled on a case-by-case basis. Many factors are considered, including the ability to redesign a product as well as the design requirements (typically shape). Oftentimes, securing engineering's approval is the key to making an individual conversion actually happen. When reviewing your component, it is helpful to take a step back and ask, "What is the purpose of my design?" Don't get stuck with a historical design that doesn't take advantage of today's technological advancements. The best results occur if you're willing to think creatively and challenge traditional methods.
Usually, forgings target a lower total cost when compared to a casting or fabrication. When you consider all the costs that are involved in a product's lifecycle from procurement to lead time to rework, then factor in the costs of scrap, downtime and further quality issues, the long-term benefits of forgings far outweigh the short-term cost-savings that castings or fabrications might offer. Working closely with your forging partner, you should develop a project statement at the beginning of your conversion project which outlines all your related issues. By the end of your discussions, your forging facility should be able to provide a solution that best addresses the problems.
Scot Forge brings the knowledge of engineers, metallurgists and forging experts to work in collaboration with your internal team, helping you to achieve long-term cost reductions and improved lead times through:
More than anything else, our customers ask that their engineers be educated about conversions, about forgings, and about the newly expanded range of product types (complex parts) that can be produced as a forging. Rather than dismissing the idea as impractical or impossible, call on us to help enlighten you and your team of the technical and/or economic merits of any particular conversion project.
We will devote as many resources as needed to provide a thorough review and subsequent proposed solution to your casting or fabrication problems. Collaborating closely with customers, we have a history of success for converting castings and fabrications into forgings and are a recognized leader in providing forged solutions for complex, intricate shapes.
A customer's product had a long history of issues due to poor casting quality. Working with Scot Forge, they were able to transition the casting to a forging which removed all re-work and weld repair from their process and allowed them to provide a better component to their customer. This saved an average of seven (7) processing hours per piece.
Scot Forge collaborated with a customer to convert a 22 piece fabrication into a two (2) piece forging design, saving over 500 hours in welding costs per unit.
Our customer's casting supplier was not able to meet their production demand, resulting in a potential loss of a significant amount business. Scot Forge was able to provide a solution that met the customer's demand and delivery requirements at a lower total cost than the casting, saving money and defending business.
More examples are described in the cases below.
The previous process was a casting.
Today the part is forged as a one-piece forging.
The part was previously centrifugally cast.
Today the part is manufactured as a near net forging.
The part was originally a casting.
Today the part is produced by forging.
With the help of Scot Forge and Scot Forge's creative engineering, Sloan Industries, Inc (Wood Dale, IL) discovered that using forging, rather than casting on magnesium die casting goosenecks yielded better machine performance and part quality.
Scot Forge worked with Deca Industries to create a highly unusual three-spoke forging. The forging replaced a casting used in the mining industry.
CTI Molecular Imaging (Knoxville, TN), in a joint effort with Scot Forge recently converting a cast component to a forging in the production of steel rings and hubs for its Eclipse Cyclotrons.

Autumn - Cold, fresh air - crisp leaves - start to put on warm, woolen clothes....
Yes, I love all this. Autumn - if it's not rainy - is a beautiful time of year.
Last weekend I was out with my kids - we played in all the brown leaves - running - laughing - having a great time together - we all enjoyed it SO much.
Moments like this makes me reflect on how grateful I am to have such a wonderful family. :)
Took loads of pictures, and wanted to use many, many of them on my LO.
I made a pocket on my LO, attached alot of pictures on the outside, and stuck even more, and some journaling inside.
This LO was also inspiered by a "stash diet"-challenge over at SiS. Played with my old, but yet SO cool Mustard Moon alpha-stickers.
Thanks for popping by!
Have a great week.

JACKSONVILLE, Ill. -- The softball team was only able to play one game of its scheduled doubleheader against MacMurray on Wednesday, but the one they played went the Panthers way as Greenville grabbed a 11-1 five-inning win.
The Panthers jumped ahead with two runs in the first inning and added one in the second before a seven run third inning game them a 10-0 lead.
Greenville was led at the plate by the 3-for-3 hitting effort from Megan Barrett. She also scored a run and knocked in two runs.
Josie Koontz, Beth Mersinger, and Becca Oldham each had two hits. Mersinger and Oldham added three RBI, and Koontz had two RBI.
The winning pitcher was Caitie Opp who went 4 1/3 innings and yielded just one run on three hits.

How to Take Care of Gladiolus Bulbs During Winter
Gladiolus is a tall plant producing large, bright flowers in a wide range of colors, including red, pink, orange, yellow, white and multicolored varieties. After summer, gladiolus flowers wither as the plant prepares for dormancy. Knowing the right way to prepare dormant gladiolus corms for winter is important, as providing too much or too little warmth will adversely affect the corms. Growers in U.S. Department of Agriculture Plant Hardiness Zones 7b and colder remove the bulbs from the ground to protect them from frost. In warmer Zones 8a and higher, removing corms is unnecessary because mulch can provide adequate protection over the winter.
Leaving the Bulbs in the Ground
Pinch off flowers as they fade. Cut back the flower stalks an inch away from the corms once they begin to show color changes to brown or yellow. Leave at least four leaves intact to feed the corm for blooms during the next season.
Mulch beds with a 2- to 4-inch layer of straw, hay or pine bark to prevent alternate freezing and thawing, which will damage corms. Begin mulching after the weather gets cold.
Remove the mulch after the danger of cold weather passes, in early spring. If the mulch is left on the ground after new growth, new shoots will be pale, weak or broken. Dispose of the mulch in a plastic trash bag to prevent spreading pests and diseases.
Removing the Bulbs for the Winter
Begin removing gladiolus corms from the ground when the foliage begins to show color changes to brown or yellow. Loosen the soil around the base of the plant with a hoe or your hands. Grasp the stem of the plant gently and pluck the gladiolas corm straight up from the soil.
Shake the excess soil off the corm. Twist the leaves from the top of the corm and discard of them. Place the corms on a screen that is elevated above the ground in partial sunlight. Allow the corms to dry in the sun for at least two days.
Put the bulbs in a plastic mesh bag in a well-ventilated room providing temperatures of about 45 degrees. Hang the bag above ground level to prevent introducing mold and mildew to the corms. Keep the corms in the mesh bag until danger of cold weather passes and they can be replanted in early spring.
Things Needed
- Straw, hay or pine bark
- Plastic trash bag
- Plastic mesh bag

It's been an eventful, enlightening and enriching experience since I joined the Toastmasters movement a year ago. Back then, I was still a green nervy young Toastmaster. Totally unpolished and unpoised.
Yet, a year on, who would've expected that I'd be able to go on Think, Speak, and Present on my feet? Even more so, to take part in a contest and emerge as first runner up amongst a host of other speakers? All in one year!
I think the wonderful thing about joining a Toastmasters Club is that the club provides you with a platform for falling, practicing and growing. There really is no failure, only feedback.
Every meeting and every activity provides an opportunity for learning and growth. The Table Topics segment trains us to think on our feet and speak off the cuff, while the evaluation segment encourages us to listen and observe attentively to gather information and frame our thoughts to deliver value and coherent messages with tact and thoughtfulness. How're those for answering difficult questions during interviews and wriggling out of challenging situations?
Then there are prepared speech segments when speakers are given the chance to fuse their creativity and put their newly acquired skills to test. Learning and growth is guaranteed via the generous feedback shared by insightful evaluators and experienced Toastmasters.
Club visits and annual contests are also events which allow Toastmasters from all walks of life and background to come together to share and pit their wits against each other – all in the spirit of learning and growth. It's after all, important to interact, share ideas and see what are the areas which we can learn from each other. Personally, I think I've benefited a great deal from participating in all these activities.
Though I've to admit, my learning journey in the Toastmasters Movement hasn't been a bed of roses. There were times I had to contend with frustration and confusion as I continuously sought an answer on how I could expend my skills and take my performance to the next level. The answers didn't not come to me immediately most of time. Yet, more often than not, it did. It shouldn't come as a surprise that I managed to breakthrough my limits from reflecting upon the insights bestowed upon me from evaluators and more importantly, the generous sharings from my mentor DTM Wekie Tay.
A more critical factor, however, I felt was the platform that the Toastmasters provided for me to continuously speak and experiment with the insights I gained from evaluation and strategies that I noted off other competent speakers when they spoke. (Hey, speaking is a universal skill… the strategies are generic and its principles are pretty common. Nobody said I couldn't adopt or lift them for my use! *winks*)
Every experience provides us with an opportunity to grow. My walk in the Toastmasters Movement has indeed been an eventful and rewarding experience. Although I may have fallen a couple of times. Yet, not only have I returned unscathed, I have grown stronger with the support and guidance of many.
The Toastmasters Movement does change lives. It has changed mine. This is, however, only the beginning. The best, has yet to come!

Huddersfield manager David Wagner has praised his side's performance during their pre-season friendly against Bury FC, and also revealed the extent of the injuries suffered by new signings Juninho Bacuna and Terence Kongolo.
Huddersfield dominated the League Two side from start to finish and earned a 4-0 victory. An impressive first half saw Huddersfield take a 1-0 lead into half time, when Wagner opted to make 11 changes and give as many players as possible the opportunity to impress, including new signing Ramadan Sobhi.
Three second half goals gave the Terriers a deserved victory, with injuries to his new signings the only blemish on a near-perfect performance. Wagner was questioned about the injuries by the Huddersfield Daily Examiner, and responded: "He [Kongolo] seems to be okay, it was only a knock that he got.
"Bacuna's was a little twist so we have to make further investigations with him, but hopefully it isn't too serious.
"We will know more in the next couple of days I think."
Despite the injuries, Wagner was eager to praise his team for their terrific performance, after Huddersfield played the game with a fantastic tempo. He told the Huddersfield Daily Examiner: "I would say it was one of the better pre-season matches even if it was only a pre-season match.
"I liked the tempo which they have shown. If everyone is healthy after this game, there is a small doubt after this game regarding Bacuna, then it was a perfect evening.
"Everybody has seen that both teams have worked a lot in the past.
"We are now a little over a week into pre-season, and I think we showed some good moments and some less good moments so it was a typical pre-season match, but a better one."
Kongolo spent the end of last season on loan with Huddersfield from Monaco, but made the move permanent this summer for around £18m. After arriving in January, the Dutchman made 17 appearances for Huddersfield and clearly did enough to earn a permanent move.
Bacuna, 20, recently arrived from Dutch side FC Groningen and impressed during the friendly match with his physicality and ability to create space for both his teammates and himself.

It was celebration galore in Lagos as many of the city's accomplished artistes from TuFace Idibia, Flavour, Tiwa Savage, Deejay Jimmy Jatt thrilled thousands of people at the 'Buckwyld n Breathless concert held at the prestigious Eko Hotel & Suit, in Lagos State on October 23, 2017. The event which was tagged 'The Lagos Dream' had top personalities from all spheres of life under one roof. Here are some of the things you may not have known about the concert.
The Black Carpet
The black carpet possessed such glitz and glamour, as attendees where fashionably dressed to the nines for this exclusive affair. It was a star studded arena and paparazzi had a field day, taking picture of personalities at the event. Some of the artistes who graced the black carpet were Orezi, Baba Dee, Mr Ibu, Selebobo, Mr 2kay, Kelly Hansome, Ellyman. However, the black carpet scheduled to start at 5pm, didn't start until 8pm, talk about 'African Time'.
The Security Personnel
As expected of an event that exclusive, security for guests and celebrities, was topnotch. As guests began to arrive at 8pm, they were respectfully searched, before they were admitted into the venue.
2Baba's Girls Came Out
As Nigerian pop legend, 2Baba performed, he was supported by three of the most important women in his life: his wife Annie and both his daughters, Isabella and Olivia Idibia. The adorable trio walked the black carpet en route to the arena where Daddy was serenading thousands of adoring fans.
Kelly Hansome Made an Appearance
Nigerian singer Kelly Hansome, surprised everyone by making an appearance at the music concert, he had been away from the music scene, for quite a while and this coincided with the time he had the feud with MI, leaving many wondering, if he exiled himself because of the rap artiste.
Concert Proper
2baba, Tiwa Savage, Flavour shut down Lagos with their performances. These stars were full appreciation for a city that has offered them so much, as Nigerians.
These stars, Flavour, Tiwa Savage and 2Baba, were described as The King, The Queen, and The Legend, respectively.
A Celebration of Legends
A key part of the music concert, was the celebration of Nigerian legends, who have influenced and been influenced by Lagos. Musicians such as Mike Okri, Christy Essien-Igbokwe, Cardinal Jim Rex Lawson, Oliver has de Coque and Fela Kuti were honoured with performances by Joe El, Acetune, Splash, and Mr 2kay.
No Place is Safe, Even Eko Hotel
It is no longer news that Nigerian Singer 2kay was robbed and assaulted in his Eko hotel room , after his performance. Leaving many wondering if the security in such an exclusive hotel, is lax, according to his story, four men armed with guns got into his room, after he mistook them for room service. The illusion that hotels are relatively safe has been broken, No place is safe after all.
Also 20 Piece Band too
Another melodious feature of the night, was undiluted live music delivered by an amazing 20 piece band. Guests were also treated to a large combined catalog of hit songs from Flavour, Tiwa Savage, and 2Baba.
Journalists were treated poorly
While the events and guests thoroughly enjoyed themselves, Journalists were treated rather poorly, almost like pariahs. It is about time entertainment journalists come together, to address their poor treatment at events, by entertainers, celebrities, stakeholder, marketers and other showbiz personnel. At the concert, journalists were prevented from entering the main event, to experience it and properly report it. Performing artists,avoided entertainment journalist like pariahs, going through back doors to avoid having a conversation with journalist.
This never happens in the western world as stars interact with journalists and press people.

I was sitting at work, processing a payroll, when my body and heart decided it was time to process another piece of the divorce. I had a memory of us looking at a space we considered renting. We weren't even doing well then, but we were sustaining and I was hopeful and he was comfortable. Seemingly out of nowhere, I was quietly weeping at my desk. Thank god for tall cubical walls - which is one of the grossest things I've ever said, by the way.
I am familiar with grief, and I know this is how it works; it still catches me by surprise when it happens. Even if it was the best possible outcome, I am broken hearted over the end of my marriage - how could I not be? When I promised forever, I was pretty sure I meant it, and I certainly meant to do my best. My best wasn't enough. Not by a long shot.
When I accepted that truth, I got angry. I had so much rage over my impotence and my helplessness. I yelled, shut down, talked shit, consumed my own soul with the unfairness of it all. My anger wasn't enough, either.
I am grieving my best effort. I am grieving my righteous anger and what it did to me. I am grieving the years lost - the ones I spent, and the ones I imagined that are no longer possible. I am grieving the man I loved.
Leaving my marriage was the right choice for both of us, and I have been healthier and happier since doing it. I am still incredibly sad that I was so ineffective in my judgement and in my struggle to keep it together. It's a bit of a paradox. It isn't my fault that I was treated poorly and given second place to an addiction. It is good that I am out. And yet, I am blue that I could not nurture the relationship to the point of survival. That's the nature of codependent relationships. I know it, but I still feel.
The nature of grief is to back off long enough for you to take a step forward before it hits you with another wave, and knocks you off your tentatively placed feet. The good news for us all is that the waves become fewer and farther between. I can take more steps between waves, and I can become stronger while I walk.
I still need these waves to remind me of the depth of this event. It is in my nature to brush off emotional pain and laugh at it, but I believe in feeling grief while it's here. I've been having a lovely time, and (much to my ego's delight) I've been getting a weird amount of attention. It is tempting to move quickly into a situation where I can give and receive affection again and yeah, get laid (it's been... a while). The grief helps keep that impulse in check, and in a way, I'm a little grateful.
I want to open my heart again, but I know it isn't time. For now, I'll pick up my feet and let it pass over me. I will right myself when the water calms.

Static C++ code analysis
Static code analysis
Static code analysis is the process of detecting errors and defects in software's source code. Static analysis can be viewed as an automated code review process.
Let's see how to analyze c++ code with scan-build. Again I will be using Debian 7 and cmake to build my c++ programs.
Get the clang package
LLVM provides scan-build in a debian package 1.
Add the apt key of LLVM repository
$ wget -O - http://llvm.org/apt/llvm-snapshot.gpg.key|sudo apt-key add -
Add the LLVM repos to apt sources directory
$ sudo echo "deb http://llvm.org/apt/wheezy/ llvm-toolchain-wheezy main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/llvm-clang.list $ sudo echo "deb-src http://llvm.org/apt/wheezy/ llvm-toolchain-wheezy main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/llvm-clang.list
Get clang package
$ sudo apt-get install clang-3.5
When this article was written latest clang version was clang-3.5. This package contains scan-build script. Now we are ready to analyze our sources.
Code analysis
Code analysis is easy with scan-build:
$ scan-build g++ main.cpp
To demonstrate better of what can static analysis do I've set up a git repo with c++ project that has some sample bugs that scan-build might catch 4.
Let's download the sample:
$ git clone https://github.com/povilasb-com/cpp-static-analysis
Now run the scan-build analyzer:
$ cd cpp-static-analysis $ scan-build make
This should yield that some bugs were found:
scan-build: 6 bugs found. scan-build: Run 'scan-view /tmp/scan-build-2014-03-16-200244-31706-1' to examine bug reports.
To see the report in HTML format enter:
$ scan-view /tmp/scan-build-2014-03-16-200244-31706-1
You should see something like this:

Lichens to Dye For: Testing Lichen Species for Dye Colors
Deane Bowers, Erin Tripp and James Lendemer
Lichens can be wonderful for dyeing, and their use as dyes has been important for centuries. The colors from lichens are generally due to the presence of chemical compounds called lichen acids. Some of these chemicals may produce the pigment without special treatment and can be extracted in hot water; others must be fermented with ammonia or, in earlier times, urine, in order for the pigment compounds to develop. As part of a new course in Lichenology taught at the University of Colorado, Boulder, we developed an experimental lab on lichen dyeing, using a set of nine different lichen species (Table 1). Our goal was to compare the colors resulting from using the two different preparation methods that are traditionally used for lichen dyeing: boiling water bath (BWM) or ammonia fermentation (AMF), on the same set of lichens.
The lichens used in this laboratory exercise were collected as part of lichen biodiversity inventories carried out by Tripp and colleagues in Tennessee and Colorado in 2018 (Table 1). Specimens from the field were identified by Tripp and Lendemer and then used in the laboratory experiment. Specimens were identified either using regional keys (Lendemer, et al. 2013; Tripp and Lendemer, in press) or unpublished, working knowledge of the biota. Voucher data are available in COLOs internal database (https://botanydb.colorado.edu/index.php), and are also available on SEINet [http://swbiodiversity.org/seinet/]) and iDigBio (https://www.idigbio.org/).

|Umbilicaria mammulata (Ach.) Tuck.
|Brown with BWM (Ref. 1). Purple with AMF (Ref. 2)
|Ref. 1 and 2
|Gyrophoric acid
Ref. 1 = Casselman (2001); Ref. 2 = Allen (2014)
Only lichens that were common at the field sites were used in the study. Depending on the amounts of the different lichen species that were available, we used set amounts for the extractions and dyeing. Voucher specimens are deposited at the University of Colorado Herbarium (COLO). Two of the species used are well-known for producing strong colors: Parmelia saxatilis (L.) Ach., known to produce colors from yellow to orange to rust with boiling water extraction (Casselman 2001); and Umbilicaria mammulata (Ach.) Tuck., known to produce purple with ammonia extraction (Allen 2014).
Lichen Conservation
Many lichens are long-lived and slow-growing. As a result, removal of large amounts of lichen can be detrimental to the population. At the same time, there are opportunities to harvest lichens from sources that are not detrimental. For example, collection of lichens from fallen branches or branches resulting from pruning, or pieces of lichen that are removed from their substrate by wind or storms, have fewer environmental impacts; such collections are typically referred to as found lichens. Graveyards or other human establishments (rooftops, city buildings, etc.) can also be good places to collect lichens. Many cemeteries periodically clean the tombstones of lichens, since over the long-term, lichens can damage the stones; thus these may be good collecting places.
Karen Casselman (2001, pages 47-48) and her colleagues have developed a code of ethics for collecting lichens. She suggests the following as guidelines for lichen collecting (paraphrased from Casselman 2001, pages 51-52):
In addition, Casselman has several suggestions for optimizing use of lichens for dyeing. For example, use lichens as a dye for smaller projects rather than large ones. In addition, multiple extractions of the same mass of lichens can produce a larger amount of dye.
Fermentation treatment. For each species, 10 to 20 grams (depending on the amount of lichen available) were put into half-gallon or quart canning jars (Figures 1 and 2) on April 16, 2018. 500 milliliters of distilled water and 250 milliliters of ammonia were added to each jar. Jars were left at room temperature and shaken several times each day and lids removed occasionally to allow aeration. Although many resources suggest fermentation times of three to six months (e.g., Casselman, 2001), because the laboratory exercise was on May 15, these samples were fermented for only one month.
For the dyeing, 200 milliliters were taken from each extraction and put into 1 quart canning jars. 300 milliliters of distilled water was added to each for a total of 500 milliliters for each dye bath.
Boiling water treatment. For each species, the same amount used for the fermentation treatments was weighed out, put into quart canning jars, and 500 milliliters of distilled water was added.
All jars were then placed in large pots of water and the pots were heated (Figure 3) to simmering. One small skein of Icelandic Lopi wool yarn (4 - 5 grams, color Natural) was placed into each jar. In addition, to examine how the different species and extraction methods dyed other fibers, small squares (6 - 9 inches) of wool fabric, silk fabric, and cotton fabric were added to the jars. Not all jars received the same fabrics; however, all jars did receive the yarn skeins. All jars were simmered for one hour.
Fiber preparation. Although many resources say that fiber to be dyed with lichen does not require any pre-mordant, some do suggest an alum and tartaric acid pre-mordant. The Lopi yarn was pre-mordanted in 10% weight of goods (WOG) alum and 2% WOG tartaric acid. The wool fabric and cotton and silk fabrics were not pre-mordanted.
Results and Discussion
A variety of different colors were obtained (Figures 4 and 5). As expected from the literature, Parmelia saxatilis gave a beautiful rust color with the BWM, but yielded a tan color with the AFM (Figure 5). Umbilicaria mammulata with AFM gave a purple, but compared to illustrations of the purple possible from this lichen (e.g., Allen 2014), the purple was more brownish (Figure 5). The Cladonia species gave beautiful yellows, from both the BWM and the AFM. Casselman (2001) lists several Cladonia species that can produce colors ranging from light green to yellow to gold to rust. Our four species all gave yellows (Figure 4).
This laboratory exercise helped students understand the chemical compounds in lichens that produce dyes and how the two different methods, AFM and BWM, can produce very different colors. It also allowed them to appreciate one of the many uses of lichens by humans. The amounts of the different lichens used were relatively small, only 30 40 grams and thus such an exercise should not make a heavy impact on local lichen populations. This laboratory exercise would be suitable for courses or laboratory exercises on topics such as lichenology, mycology, fiber arts, and natural dyes. Additional information about this exercise can be obtained by contacting the authors.

We've had this blender for 3 or 4 years, and use it more than we did prior blenders. The large capacity blending container is great (but we also have a smaller capacity container with the dry blade). Dry blade is handy for spices, salt, even making fresh flour.
Cleaning this unit is a snap. Just put soapy water in the container and blend for a minute and rinse out. No disassembly required.

Design Director Ken Link Might Have Moved to adidas After 22 Years With Nike
After an astonishing 22 years helping man the helm of the Swoosh, Jordan Brand's former design director Ken Link has supposedly made the leap over to adidas. The word "supposedly" must be stressed for now, as news of his move to the Three-Stripes, has only come into being as a result of the man himself literally posting three stripes under his new job description on LinkedIn. Check it out below.
Link's new job description simply reads, "VP Design – Basketball," which would prove a logical step given his experience working so closely with Nike's basketball division. Also, another point which seeks to prove his move to adidas, is the fact that a close friend of his, Kris Aman, just so happens to be the brand's global general manager for its basketball division.
Despite Link declining to comment to Sole Collector when questioned, all signs seem to point towards him joining adidas' ever-expanding workforce. In late October, Link also shared the following Instagram post, confirming his decision to leave Nike:
In other news, Louis C.K. might have to leave a lot behind in light of sexual misconduct allegations.

CHARDONNAY who? Wine made from the chardonnay grape is still America's favorite white – but there are signs things are changing.
Take the by-the-glass list at Judson Grill, which offers a pinot gris from Oregon, a sauvignon blanc from Quincy in France's Loire Valley and a German Riesling – besides two chardonnays, one from California and one from Burgundy.
The "value" section of Judson's main list offers one of the most interesting selections in town, and it reflects the forward thinking of sommelier Beth von Benz.
There's a pinot blanc from Germany, a gruner veltliner from Austria, a sauvignon blanc from New Zealand and a Savenniers from the Loire, made from chenin blanc.
That's just for starters.
She offers a Greek wine made from a grape called assyrtiko, an Italian wine from Friuli made from the ribolla grape, a Basque wine from treixadura, a Piedmontese entry from a grape called nascetta and a Cotes du Rhone Villages made from viognier, marsanne and roussanne.
"I think people are slowly moving away from chardonnay," said von Benz.
She means in general, and with the season – with the often heavy, oaky, buttery California chardonnays you see everywhere losing their appeal as the weather warms up.
Riesling, one of the great food wines, is the particular enthusiasm of Susan Wilber, the wine director at the Ark Restaurant Group, where she happily pushes chardonnay alternatives at eateries like Bryant Park Grill, Metropolitan Cafe and Jack Rose.
"There's a whole world of clean, fresh whites out there," Wilber said. She likes the southern Italian whites made from grapes like greco, vernaccia and vermentino, which she promotes over pinot grigio.
While there are good pinot grigios, there are a lot of bland ones too, and the wine seems to have become popular largely because it stands in contrast with over-oaked California chardonnays.
Where chardonnay can taste too heavy or manipulated, pinot grigio can taste like nothing at all.
Some grapes, like riesling or zesty sauvignon blanc, have a personality that's hard to repress.
Spring in New York is a good time to think out of the box, or in this case, out of the barrel.
