Stunning Lib Dem win in Westbury
Lib Dems in Wiltshire are celebrating following another election victory with the election of Josh Charles to Westbury Town Council.
The by-election saw the Lib Dems win with over 40% of the vote, ahead of a sitting Conservative Wiltshire Unitary Councillor in second place with Labour trailing in third
Speaking after his election Josh Charles said, ""It's a fantastic result! I couldn't have done it without the support from my team and Cllr Gordon King who helped me out. Also, the supporters and deliverers who came out and knocked on doors and did all the fun campaigning stuff. I think the message really got through."
Josh, who is 23 years old and a recent graduate from university, where he studied politics, is new to the Westbury area, moving recently from Melksham. "I hope to bring energy to the council and views of a different perspective. I have the enthusiasm and the passion, which shows as I'm still standing after three weeks of campaigning! I'm hoping to shake things up a bit and get stuck in."
Full results
Westbury TC, Westbury West
Lib Dem Josh Charles 258; Conservative 223; Labour 156. Lib Dem GAIN from Independent.

Late July and every August is financially tight month. With back to school supplies, clothing, classroom fees and sports/club dues our family spends every September getting back on budget. This year my husband and I took an extra week (without pay) from work to go on a cruise with our children. Since we have zero credit card debt, we used our monthly surplus to make up for our loss of income in July. September my family is getting back on track and ready to start saving for the our fall vacation and the holidays.
This month I am starting a new series that will feature various ways to save money without using coupons or discount. Instead we will feature ways to get back on track naturally and provide an organic way to change your buying habits. Today we are featuring items worth buying at a thrift store.
7 Items to Buy at Thrift Stores
Thrift stores are a great place to find hidden treasures and some household necessities. Take a look below at our list of 7 items to buy at thrift stores as opposed to retail stores. When you buy these items at thrift stores, you are sure to find a better deal every time!
1. Picture frames
Gift shops and retail stores charge a pretty penny for picture frames. Snag frames for under a dollar at your local thrift shop instead. You can always add a little paint to change the color if you wish! Another tip? Know the measurements you need. Keep a list in your purse for easy reference.
2. Dolls & Kid's Toys
Don't pay big bucks for plush animals and dolls. You can find these items for pennies at your local thrift store. Most items can be tossed in the washer for a quick clean or take a Magic Eraser to remove marks and spots.
3. Vases
Your local thrift store will carry a huge selection of glass florist vases. These are great when giving flowers or creating centerpieces. Never buy vases new, snag them at the thrift store instead and just run them through the dishwasher.
4. Ties.
Thrift stores carry huge varieties of men's ties for less than $2 each. This is a great way to change your look for less. Experiment with new colors and styles without spending a lot of dough.
5. Music
Thrift stores are great for finding new music to listen to. Snag a cheap CD or if you have a record player grab a classic or two. I like to snag some thrift store cd's before a big road trip so I can listen to tunes for less.
6. Misc. Home Décor
Thrift stores are great for flower pots, wall hangings, pictures, and decorative pieces. Check out your local thrift store before buying new. You never know what you might find that can spruce up your space.
7. Fabric.
Check out your local thrift store for linen needs. You can find towels for art projects, fabric for sewing, curtains, and so much more. Use them as intended or for your crafting needs.
What are some of your favorite items to purchase at thrift stores?.

Six Month Smiles
If you're looking for a fast-acting and discreet way to have straighter teeth without a mouth full of metal 'train track' braces then Six Month Smiles is for you. This orthodontic system uses tooth-coloured wires and clear brackets to straighten your teeth so they are not as visible as traditional metal braces.
Six Month Smiles focuses on straightening only the teeth that show when you smile rather than all of your teeth (such as your back teeth), which means that instead of treatment taking 2-3 years it can be completed in as little as 6 months.
Most of our patient's teeth are straightened between 5-10 months and every case is different. During a consultation, we will be able to give you an approximate indication on timescales. Because the time taken is less than that of traditional comprehensive orthodontics, the cost of straightening your teeth is cheaper too.
We offer 0% interest free finance on
Six Month Smiles!
If you would like to find out more call the Braemer helpline on 01563852113 or the Practice on 01908348100.
Before & After
This treatment is ideal for adults with:
Crowded teeth
Gaps or spaced teeth
Twisted teeth
Protruding teeth
Happy clients
"I have always been a little embarrassed about my smile and originally wanted veneers. Uma told me about short-term orthodontic treatment and 6 Month Smiles and I decided to go ahead. After getting my teeth straightened I feel much more confident and I can't stop smiling. Lots of people didn't even notice me wearing a brace. Uma, my dentist has been supportive, friendly and professional throughout. All worth it," Anon.

Michelangelo's First Training The First Drawings by Michelangelo Lorenzo the Magnificent's Garden The Battle of Centaurs by Michelangelo Bacchus Michelangelo from Florence to Rome Saint Peter's Pietà
BacchusArt itineraries > Artists
During Michelangelo 's first stay in Rome, Cardinal Riario asked him a statue of Bacchus. However, once finished, the statue ended up in the garden of Jacopo Galli, a banker and benefactor of the artist, who, according to a trend among the most influential families of Rome, collected statues and antique pieces in order to form a rich "antiquarium". A very precise idea of that impressive collection is offered to us through drawings from the 1500s, especially those by the Flemish artist Maarten van Heemskerk.
The 203 metres high (including the base) marble statue is currently housed at the National Museum of Bargello, in Florence.
At the beginning of July 1496, Michelangelo had already bought a Carrara marble block, and subsequently concluded the statue in one year's time.
The work not only reveals a mastery of the body's anatomy, technique, of composition values, harmony and classical balance, but also a surprising inventive capacity, since it was created from Michelangelo's own powerful imagination, without direct diversion. It shows a powerful imaginative freedom, supported nevertheless by a solid knowledge of the antique. The group depicts Bacchus, inebriated and unsteady, next to a Satyr boy who mischievously smiles and secretly eats the grapes. It represents the extraordinary result of the encounter of the twenty something sculptor with the majestic and omnipresent beauty of ancient Rome.
Michelangelo had already been able to get in contact with antique pieces in Florence, i.e. in the garden of San Marco and among the Medici's treasures, and in Pisa he had seen Camposanto's ancient sarcophagi. But in Rome the antique was offered before his eyes and study with variety and precision: so much so that Bacchus, when moving around the antique statuary, shows particular traces of the Hellenistic sculpture.
Made in order to be seen from both angles, the statuary group articulates a complex spatial connection between the God of Wine and his little companion, who gets furtively closer from behind.
While Bacchus swaggers with his corpulent soft body angled and stretched forward, almost chasing the wine chalice he raises to his wide eyes, the little satyr twists boldly rotating the top half of his body almost ninety degrees in relation to his caprine legs.
The dynamic effect evolves from this: the sense of oscillation, instability, suggesting the walk and the moves typical of a drunken person.
The carving of the surface varies in each part of the statue, with a coarse grain effect for the satyr, and a polished effect for the skin of the God, where a certain effeminate weakness can be noticed, a composition of male and female traces.

|CARA - Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act of 2016
On July 22, 2016, President Barak Obama signed into law the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act of 2016, known as CARA. The full title of the bill is:
To authorize the Attorney General and Secretary of Health and Human Services to award grants to address the national epidemics of prescription opioid abuse and heroin use, and to provide for the establishment of an inter-agency task force to review, modify, and update best practices for pain management and prescribing pain medication, and for other purposes.
Overdoses from heroin, prescription drugs, and opioid pain relievers last year surpassed car accidents as the leading cause of injury-related death in America, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Deaths have reached their highest levels of the 21st century in 2014, the most recent year for which data is available, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse. Heroin overdoses have more than tripled in the last five years, an issue receiving outsize attention nationally but especially during the presidential campaign season as New Hampshire has been one of the hardest-hit states.
Of interest to nurse practitioners is a provision that deems an NP to be "other qualified providers" for purposes of prescribing "all drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of opioid use disorder, including for maintenance, detoxification, overdose reversal, and relapse prevention," if the NP meets the requirements for a waiver from otherwise prohibited medications.

Does she still long hair? Like photos
Answer: Yes, she does.
she is beautiful and great women happy xmas to uo
I was flattered by Dasha's tendency to look after her clients. I met her in agency's apartment, and I was a bit cold due to the weather, and she made me a warm tea... It was really nice of her. Her English level is not enough to communicate fluently, but we pretty much understood each other. For the most part of night no words were needed at all. She is petite, with nice curves and great voice. She loves doing sex to the music and it was kinda funny. I sincerely enjoyed every moment I've spent with Dasha and I would like to meet her again, because she was the most open, nice and easy going escort I've met last year. Great pre-christmas present!
Good choice for those who don't look for young girls only. Dasha is not the youngest one from agency, well, she is one of the most mature ladies. But still there's some spark in her, a spark that makes her different from other girls. She has feminine body with curves, smart eyes and really interesting appearance. She gave me both good time together and also good sex. She is inventive, she loves thinking of new ways of fucking and she performs blowjob of really good quality. Also service was good and she came to my appartment in 2 hours after my call. And that's perfect.
Dasha is good in each type of sex you would like to try with her. Plastic, splendid in both giving and receiving pleasure, very natural as a girlfriend, and playful. She's like a kitten, she loves playing in bed and it adds up a little spice in your meeting. I loved that she doesn't try to spend your time and get your money, she's really into entertaining her client and giving him all of the pleasure she's able to. Liked her a lot.
I'm showing my breasts just for you, gentlemen!

The above pic is of my latest watercolour.. this one will take longer than the previous ones I've done… I thought I'd try something a little bit different so drew this one out first.. still from my mind though… The painting represents me.. I'll elaborate once it's finished… 🙂
I bedded another section of floor in yesterday in the living room.. it's not dry or cleaned up yet though… I want to do a bit more today.. not as much as yeterday though as I plan to light the candles later.. spark the fire and have a wee dram to see in my 46th year on this realm… 😛 Think the setting's right for it don't you hehehe.. this room is now my music lounge… 😀 ( In progression of course… )
I've also started digging the foundation for my workshop and of course have had plenty of jobs to do out there… Autumn is a busy for me with the amount of leaves that fall etc… Both gardens are done though and looking good.. even in the winter weather… The floors still need scrubbing.. but no point at the moment, as I'll be digging etc out there… 🙂
Right it's nearly light now.. so I can ready myself to go and do a mix for the next section of floor to go in… 🙂 I've decided at this point.. just to do around the edges and carpet the center… I think it'll look too busy with a picture there and a nice warm carpet fitted.. will only add to the cosy factor of the room and also reduce noise etc… 🙂 I'll do a picture floor in the kitchen where it'll be seen… 🙂 I plan to do the hall floor and stairs next.. the stairs need sanding for what I have in mind there though… 🙂
Right I'm off to get dresed.. have a magical day/eve… 🙂

High court tells ministry of home affairs to allow foreign fund transfers to group after crackdown by Modi government
An Indian court Wednesday told the new right-wing government to unblock funds of Greenpeace India after an intelligence report accused foreign-funded campaign groups of hurting Asia's third-largest economy.
In a major crackdown, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's governmenttightened controls on foreign fund transfers into Greenpeace India's accounts in June.
The move came after an Indian Intelligence Bureau report accused activist groups of "stalling development projects" by protesting against power projects, mining and genetically modified food.
Greenpeace has insisted it functions transparently and in accordance with the law.
"The High Court's direction to the MHA (Ministry of Home Affairs) throws light on the completely arbitrary manner in which the government has attempted to muzzle voices of dissent in a democracy in the name of financial scrutiny," Greenpeace India executive director Samit Aich said in a statement.
India has clamped down on activist groups over the past two years and has restricted direct transfers of foreign donations, following campaigns that delayed important industrial projects.
The home ministry had instructed the central bank to get its approval before releasing funds from Netherlands-based Greenpeace International and the US-based Climate Works Foundation, two overseas contributors to Greenpeace India.
Greenpeace India took its case to the Delhi High Court last week after its bank denied it funds from Greenpeace International, citing lack of home ministry clearance.
Aich added that Greenpeace "is forced to believe the MHA is attempting to financially choke and discredit Greenpeace India in order to proceed smoothly with its pro-corporate agenda".
India's biggest corporate groups have flocked behind business-friendly Modi, whose right-wing government swept to power in May elections on a pledge to revive India's ailing economy.
Activists have expressed concern that the Bharatiya Janata Party's dash for growth will mean a watering down of environmental standards and land acquisition laws to favour business.
The court has given the home ministry two weeks to respond, before the next hearing on 10 October.
There was no immediate response from the home ministry when contacted by AFP on Wednesday.
In January, Indian energy group Essar said it would sue Greenpeace for defamation over a giant banner unfurled on the front of the conglomerate's headquarters that read "We kill forests".
Activists scaled the building in central Mumbai and unfurled the banner to protest at the company's mining plans in Madhya Pradesh state, which activists say will damage one of India's oldest forests.

In December, we ran our annual User Satisfaction Survey asking students, faculty, and staff about their experiences with Touro libraries over the past year. We strive to provide the best possible service, so your feedback is very important to us. Check out the results of the survey below, and let us know any additional thoughts you have in the comments.
We are very happy to announce that over 94% of you said that the service Touro Libraries provide meets or exceeds "your expectations for an excellent library." We had 205 respondents this year. So thank you for your positive feedback!
Our biggest number of respondents 57% were our undergraduate students, which might indicate that they are bigger users of the library resources, which is great and we love that. Most of our respondents are also heavy users of the online library. Of those surveyed, 54% use the library website weekly. Many of you also visit us in person: in fact, 21% visit the library daily and 32% visit us weekly. Here is a link to all Touro library locations and hours.
Similar to last year, our databases are the most popular destination, followed by QuickSearch (the library's main search box) and our eBook collection. All in all, over 60% felt that the library resources meet their expectations.
To assist you better in research assignments, we asked in the survey, "what is the most difficult part about course-related research?" The results look like this: "Finding relevant articles on the library website" (42%); "Narrowing down a topic" (40%); "Having to sort through the internet hits" (32%): and "Summarizing and paraphrasing other people's ideas" (30%). Finally, a combined 40% of you struggle with "incorporating your research findings into your paper" and "knowing when to cite a source".
Understandably, research is not easy but here is where the library can come to your rescue and help you with some of these problems. A recently acquired resource to help you understand and successfully complete college-level research and writing is ProQuest Research Companion (PQRC). PQRC includes guidance on choosing a topic, finding information from appropriate materials, selecting evidence, attributing sources, and writing a research-based essay. Each unit contains a series of short (1-3 minute) videos. So check it out next time you are perplexed by some of the steps of a research paper.
Additionally, we have created numerous short video tutorials for you. These videos help in explaining how to use QuickSearch on the library website; they guide you through searching the library databases more efficiently and assist you with using different citation tools, such as RefWorks. RefWorks is indeed one of our most popular tools here at the library because it is a user-friendly reference manager and citation builder and makes things so much easier for you when you need to create a bibliography/reference page for your paper. More importantly, it is free to you.
And don't forget to take a look at our LibGuides. These guides contain hand-picked resources on almost any subject and can help you with college research.
Finally, the survey also showed that many of you don't know about the Touro Libraries Mobile App. If you download it on your smartphone or tablet, you can access the library catalog, check due dates, access and read ebooks and search for academic articles via some of the more popular databases on the go. So download it now. It's free.
Stay tuned for Part II with more responses to your comments and concerns.

Sun, Withstands Foot Traffic, Fast Growing
Seeding a new lawn can be done in spring or fall, although fall (September) is the absolute best. If necessary, summer seeding can be done as long as you can keep the area you've seeded moist at all times. Grass seed can also be sown in late winter.
For NEW Lawns:
- Rake and grade the area fairly smooth. Remove rocks, twigs, and construction debris.
Renovating ESTABLISHED Lawns:
First mow the existing grass as short as possible. If you simply need to over seed or to reseed bare spots, rake the areas so they are crumbly, then skip to the fertilzing section.
Spray with Glysophate to kill off any remaining seed.
Wait 7-10 days for the vegetation to brown and then proceed with the raking out process. Use a thatching rake or a stiff garden rake to remove all thatch and other loose vegetation. It is not necessary to remove the dead grass. It is necessary to prepare the soil so that the grass seed will make contact with the soil when it is planted.
- If there are any bare spots, chop the soil 2″ deep leaving the clods between golf ball and marble size. You can rent a slit seeder which will make preparing the soil for larger areas much easier. Run the slit seeder East and West and the North and South to create a grid pattern. On a hillside, run the slicer horizontally across the slope. DO NOT ROTOTILL!! If you do you will turn over thousands of weed seeds that will be happy to grow all over your lawn.
Now you are ready to apply your fertilizer. Use a low nitrogen formula such as Greenview Fall Lawn Food, which is best applied with a broadcast spreader. A drop spreader can be used, but be careful not to over apply. If you are re-seeding in the spring, DO NOT apply Greenview's Crabgrass Control plus Lawn Food as a fertilizer while seeding. Crabgrass Control plus Lawn Food is the first step in Greenview's 4-step program. This product will kill germinating crabgrass AND regular grass seed. If you need to re-seed a lawn in spring and you would also like to apply a crabgrass preventive, then you will need to apply Greenview's Starter Fertilizer Plus Crabgrass Preventer. It "knows" the difference between crabgrass seed and regular grass seed and is safe to use.
At Dayton Nursery we will be happy to assist you in making the right seed choice for your yard. Seed can be applied by hand, which is fine for bare spots, or with a spreader, which is best for larger areas. It is extremely important for the seed to make soil contact, it simply will not grow if it doesn't. A seed mix is generally better than sowing just one variety. Fairlawn brand is excellent for the sun while Fairlawn Shady or Dura-Shade is good for shade areas. Seeding rates are 5-8 lbs. of seed per 1000 sq. feet depending on the type of mix.
Grass seed must be kept moist until it germinates. Water thoroughly. At first provide fairly short but frequent waterings. As the seed begins to germinate, you will not need to water as often, but remember not to let the seeded areas dry out for long periods of time. Try to water early in the day or early in the evening.
When the new grass is 3-4″ tall it is time to mow. Set your mower at a mowing height of 2 1/2 – 3″ high. Cutting the lawn high is a good, natural weed control, as cooler soil temperatures discourage weed seed germination. Mow often! The more cuttings you make, the faster the new lawn will mature. Mow as late into fall as necessary. Your last cutting of the season should be 1 1/2 – 2″ high. This will help prevent lawn disease such as Snow Mold. Remember to rake up as many leaves as possible before the ground freezes. Leaves left on the ground will smother the grass trying to live beneath it, which means you'll have new bare spots in the spring.
At this time, a light covering of straw can be applied. Although straw is optional, it does help keep the area moist, which is essential to seed germination. One bale of straw should cover between 500-600 sq. feet. You should be able to see 50% soil and 50% seed. When straw is applied correctly it does not need to be removed later on.
If you don't want to clean up messy straw, then apply a new product called Encap Lawn Starter Mulch.
Encap's Lawn Starter Mulch solves all the woes of typical straw or paper mulches. It's easy to apply with any spreader or straight from the pouch. It doesn't carry weed seeds and never blocks essential sunlight, water or nutrients.
- Contains mulch & starter fertilizer
- Applies quickly with any spreader
- Works directly with the soil to enhance germination
- Safe for people & pets
- One 20 pound bag covers 1,000 sq. ft.
- Sparkles when dry to let you know it is time to water.
- Read more
After you have mowed the new lawn at least three times it should be safe to apply a weed killer if weeds are a problem. Be sure to follow label directions for the product you are using and be sure to use a product that will eliminate the type of weeds you have. Greenview's Weed Control plus Lawn Food will control weeds with its active ingredient Trimec and fertilize the grass with a slow release fertilizer at the same time. The 2-Way Greenpower should be applied May 1st – May 15th or Sept 1st – Sept 15th. Greenview's Starter Fertilizer plus Crabgrass Preventer will prevent crabgrass from germinating if the lawn is sown in spring. The product can tell the difference between germinating grass seed and crabgrass seed.
One-Step Starter Fertilizer and Seeding Mulch with Greenview's Grass Seed Accelerator
- Patented moisture cell technology helps maintain moisture in the soil so more seeds germinate in less time
- Contains a starter fertilizer specially formulated to promote the development of strong roots
- Light seeding paper mulch with wetting agent helps protect germinating seeds from hot sun and drying winds.
- Also, helps prevent weeds, and unlike straw, is weed and mess free.
If you cannot seed in the spring or fall, you may seed in late January or early February. Remove any twigs and leaves in the areas to be seeded. Apply your seed to those areas. The freezing and thawing soil will create a natural seed bed. Be aware that the success of winter seeding depends on our weather. Do not seed on top of snow.
Remember, do not use a "regular" crabgrass preventer in spring when winter seeding. Use Greenview's Starter Fertilizer plus Crabgrass Preventer will prevent crabgrass from germinating if the lawn is sown in spring. The product can tell the difference between germinating grass seed and crabgrass seed.

Experience "Día de los Muertos" in Peru
Experience "Día de los Muertos" in Peru
The 2nd of November is a very special day for Peruvians and therefor for all travellers in Peru. It is the celebration of the "Day of the Dead", a traditional festivity where families celebrate and greet their deceased on the graveyards with music, food, drinks, flowers and dances. The day before is also celebrated and known as the "Día de los Santos" or Todos los Santos – The day of the Saints. Travelers in Peru will feel the magic atmosphere and feel overwhelmed by Cusco's amazing bread baking tradition, especially in the streets around the San Pedro Market.
As many people already know, Day of the Dead is a well known tradition in Mexico; but not only here. It is actually celebrated all over Latin America. In Peru, the Incas had a strong connection with their deceased. So when the Spaniards arrived, it was easy to combine the Inca beliefs with the new Catholic elements brought by the Spaniards.

School's back in session at UH, though there seem to be more downed limbs on campus than students. Those who did show up found classes that were about one-third full in most cases; some came to campus to find their professors absent.
UH president Rena Khator did declare the week to be exam-free and encouraged those students who couldn't safely make it to class to not worry about coming in. But with the city still in recovery mode, the decision to open campus so early was questionable.
"It's a bit of a safety hazard, with traffic signals down and everything," a UH professor, who asked to remain anonymous, told Hair Balls. "(Opening campus) is (Khator's) first bad decision."
Caitlin Cuppernull, the editor in chief of The Daily Cougar student newspaper, interviewed Khator this morning. She let Hair Balls in on the official line in regard to why campus is open: Khator says it's essential to Houston's return to normalcy and necessary to continue to fulfill the university's "educational mission."
We Believe Local Journalism is Critical to the Life of a City
Engaging with our readers is essential to the mission of the Houston Press. Make a financial contribution or sign up for a newsletter, and help us keep telling Houston's stories with no paywalls.
Support Our Journalism
The question of why that mission can't be accomplished with some make-up days at the end of the semester elicited a response that, to us, seemed like public relations 101. Khator repeatedly emphasized "organizational resiliency matched with individual compassion." Cuppernull told Hair Balls that when she asked whether the school would lose some state funding if it stayed closed for too long, Khator played the old "Don't ask me, I'm just the president" card. State funding is just not that big of a concern at public universities, you see.
Students who came to campus were at least treated to some air conditioning and running water. Power is on, except at Cambridge Oaks and Cullen Oaks student housing, and water pressure is back to full in almost all buildings. Clean-up crews – a mix of UH staff and outside companies – are working overtime to get campus back into shape, though the 9 p.m. citywide curfew means they have to stop work around 7:30 or 8 p.m.
Head of Plant Operations Dave Irvin (who echoed the "resiliency and compassion" motto) told Hair Balls he expects most of the debris to be cleared within a couple of weeks. Harder hit structures like the Architecture Building, which lost one-third of its roof and had standing water in its library, may take up to a couple of months to get fully repaired, though Irvin says students should be able to get back to work in all facilities by tomorrow.
There's one definite upside to opening the university – area families who remain without power can at least stop by the University Center to grab a burger at Wendy's. – Blake Whitaker

ABUJA–THE Chief of Army Staff,Lt. General Tukur Buratai, yesterday,said poor funding of the Nigerian Army was hindering effective maintenance of its infrastructure in the country.
This was even as he applauded his administration's efforts not only in the construction but also renovation of barracks besides other performance-enhancing innovations in the last three years.
The army chief spoke when he received members of the Senate and House of Representatives' Joint Committee on Army, who were at the Army Headquarters on an oversight function.
While acknowledging the onstitutional mandate of the National Assembly in oversighting the army's activities, Buratai hinted that the army under his watch had not in anyway misused the funds appropriated to it in the 2018 budget, promising that he would continue to judiciously utilise what came to the service.
"But, permit me to say that, by and large, the efforts we have done within the past three years; we have achieved a lot. As you go round, you will see the efforts, with great difference in terms of facility development…
"But, there is still much to be done. The funding still remains a challenge. It couldn't have been a challenge, if the various infrastructure had been maintained over the years.
"But still, what were the problems that generated, what are the conditions today, is still as a result of inadequacy of funding. By and large, we have made significant differences, and we pray that this funding pattern should continue,"he said.
He reiterated absolute loyalty of the army to the Constitution and constitutional authorities, insisted that the Nigerian Army under him would derail in its mandate of protecting the nation's territorial integrity, as well as defending her against external aggression.
Buratai orders field commanders to deny terrorists freedom to attack
Hear him:"We know the constitutional mandate of the National Assembly, and we see it as a way of maintaining the checks and balances in the general administration of the Army, and by implication, the country as a whole.
"We see it as one very important responsibility, to ensure that our constitutional mandate is properly attended to, and we will also execute that mandate in line with the constitutional provisions.
"We know that the Nigerian Army has that constitutional responsibility, to defend the country against external aggression, to equally protect our sovereignty, and also to support the civil authority, when called upon to do that.
"We have been performing these constitutional duties with all the commitment, zeal as well as with absolute loyalty to the Constitution, and constituted authority.
We assure you that all the funds that have been appropriated, have been judiciously utilised."
Speaking earlier,the Chairman, Senate Committee on Army, Senator George Akume,commended the efforts of the army at restoring law and order across the country.
He assured that the joint visit was not an "Inquisition", but an exercise to ensure that appropriated funds were properly used.
"We are here in line with our constitutional mandate…to, among other things, supervise activities of the Army.
"Finally, and most importantly, to supervise annual budgets of the Nigerian Army, to ensure that there is accountability in the applications of these funds.
"These committees will, therefore, be grateful if the Nigerian Army under your leadership (COAS) furnishes us with details of all the projects and their locations, to enable us oversight them, with respect to funding as well as appropriated under the 2017/2018 budget.
"This is not an Inquisition, and this is not the first time the committees will be doing this work.
"We want to commend the Army for your presence in maintaining peace and order, particularly in the North East. We know your men are eveeywhere.restoring law and order, ensuring that peace prevails in the country.
"We want to commend the Nigerian Army for keeping to its constitutional responsibility of protecting the territorial integrity of our country,"he said.

I know this is random and I apologize if I step some toes for this. Triggered by the story of a sacmmer.
We, Filipinas are lucky enough to find our foreign partners. We should be grateful for the love and care we receive we think we deserve.
But is it too much too appreciate what our foreign partners can give? Can we at least give them thanks,love and care in return?
Some of Filipinas only care about money, that's a fact. Don't be hypocrite about it. But do you have any idea how they work hard for it? Their situation? And how hard they save just to see us. My boyfriend is not rich but he saves to see me that's why I'm patiently waiting.
We should understand where they come from. They don't ask anything except LOVE.
Please don't disregard what you have now because the one you replace, may not be the person you think he is.
Bad karma is around the corner. Please be reminded that if you let go on someone, someone is ready to catch that person and keep him.
Appreciate your partner.
Money can't buy happiness and love. Only material things and temporary enjoyment.

Well here goes my report on our trip we assembled at the car park at Callander at 10.30 and got prepared to depart. Today was certainly going to be a fun day with 10 members all present it was certainly busy as we set off with the Newbies agreeing that first one to get wet would do the report I had a feeling this was going to be me and I was right!. It was going to be an interesting today with 2 members participating in their first river paddle. As we headed down river towards the first bridge I realised that my foot pegs had moved since I last used the boat. A quick stop and a bit of help adjusting and we caught up with everyone and practiced breaking in and out an eddy at the bridge and some ferry gliding we set off to the next bridge where there was more flow as the first bridge was ahem a little slow. Members who had previously been on the Teith said that the river had been higher before as we started to discover some of the rocks on the shallower stretches with people adding scrapes here and there.
We continued on further down being blinded by the sun in our faces enjoying some of the leisurely bits that were flowing gently although this involved some criss crossing the river with the rocks becoming more frequent. A few members started to create a single line for everyone to follow over the rollers a series of boulders not far from the second bridge this made some interesting boufing with myself getting stuck on some of the hidden ones that were shallow I managed with some help to get off. I looked back up river hiding in an eddy near the bank as there were some other member still behind myself coming down. I was glad they too seemed to be getting stuck being the newbie getting the bottom of the boat battered seemed like a strange sensation. As the eddy and river was flowing harder at this area we played around breaking in or paddling hard up the river to break out in a faster current. After about 15 minutes playing we moved off with some new found spirit and confidence watching the beautiful rainbow that had appeared and some geese fly overhead and ducks downstream it seemed as though it was rather idyllic…. This was short lived as the current picked up and more shallow rapids I knew my boat was getting a battering and at one point lost my grip on my paddle nearly a costly mistake being advised keep the blade in the water as much as possible. More shallow ground came forth and I duely caught a large rock unexpectedly which tipped me fully sideways. The scary bit being when its shallower than the pool is that falling out your boat is not as easy with the boat and you being pushed along with the water building up behind your boat while being face and your BA supporting you it is scary I reached for my spraydeck cord and missed so resulted in a gulp of the Teith not what I wanted and made me change my mind and went for the knee through the deck manoeuvre and I became free of my boat. By this time John and a couple of others were mid rescue as I came up grabbing boat and paddle and me. we made it over to a shallow eddy where now knowing that my new drysuit worked we continued down to the lunch spot.
I was caught once more on a large rock that was more of a hidden ledge
on route a little more help from Stevie and I was free although in doing
so I felt my back playing up. Lunch was a welcome relief with me
rolling out my boat as ill fitting seemed to be playing havoc in
conjunction with the battering on the bottom of the boat. We all enjoyed
the sustenance we had brought and I was glad that my piece box still
contained dry sandwiches after my swim as was the first time I had tried
planking the box so was a second test that had passed for something
We set off again fed and watered as we started to get confident and proceeded down river again in single file I was feeling considerable discomfort as we proceeded towards the first island This was clear to all and finally we found an eddy and I disembarked and decided I would walk for a bit so from here I have little to report on the actual river conditions encountered by the group who gracefully escorted my boat down meeting up a couple of times as I walked along the bank. The interesting bit while walking for me was my encounter with 3 roe deer who startled at a fat paddler on foot walking along took off in front of me however they were within touching distance and a very pleasant bonus.
In summing up I must say thanks to everyone for working as a team and being a great club seeing the testing times of a shallow river mean we had one newbie fail to finish and one pass without spill all the way to the end well done Nola!!

The second section, which roughly covers the decade of the 1980's, describes the attempts of the Australian government to nurture the emerging "Aboriginal arts and crafts movement" as a means to both preserve indigenous culture and promote an economic engine to support the government's new policy of self-determination for Aboriginal people within the Australian state. These efforts, combined with Australia's desire to devise a new national image for itself in anticipation of the country's 1988 bicentennial, culminated in an exhibition of paintings from the Western Desert and from Arnhem Land in the far north. Dreamings traveled to the USA and provided the some of the impetus for the third phase of the art's development, which Fred covers in his chronicle of the 1990's.
This third section of Painting Culture devotes considerable attention to the Dreamings exhibition: its preparation, the appearance of two Aboriginal painters as part of a weekend event, and the critical reaction to Aboriginal paintings in the art world. Fred also details the emergence and growth of commercial galleries in the US and Australia that specialized in marketing Aboriginal art. This transfer to the private sector and the commercialization of the art marks the third phase of the movement's development. The book's narrative concludes with the opening of another major exhibition, Papunya Tula: Genesis and Genius, which was curated at the Art Gallery of New South Wales and whose opening coincided with the Sydney Olympic Games in 2000. The final chapters lay out accomplishments, problems, and unresolved questions for black and white Australians alike.
Throughout the book, Fred is concerned to find and give voice to the viewpoint of the painters themselves. The fundamental values of Aboriginal culture and the Euro-Australian culture seem in many ways to be at odds with one another. Certainly the economic systems and the basic principles of social organization are alien to one another, and the conflict between the two generates what Fred calls the new "intercultural" space. My observations in Australia make me think that very few people are comfortable in this space. It is full of competing viewpoints; there isn't even agreement among those most closely involved with the production and marketing of the art.
In the last twenty years, many fine books on Aboriginal art, with glorious reproductions of the artwork, have been published. Similarly, in light of new government policies in Australia, much new anthropological fieldwork in Aboriginal studies has been carried out and brought into print. There is precious little that combines the two streams of thought and research, and Myers' book stands out, along with the work of Howard Morphy among the Yolngu people of Arnhem Land, as the finest endeavors in the field. It's required reading for anyone with an interest in Aboriginal art and culture. And for those who, like myself, devoured the book on its publication a few years ago, a second reading will prove it to be an incisive and still timely study of the prevailing problems and concerns of all involved, artists, gallerists, scholars, and collectors alike.

Building an Emergency Fund is one of the most important things we can do for our family. We've all heard the expression; make sure you have a rainy day fund. In other words, be sure to have some money put aside for emergencies to avoid tapping into your available credit—or worse, going into debt.
Makes sense, right? But you're not quite sure how to make it happen. Maybe you're already operating on a tight budget; maybe you've tried making savings a priority before and failed.
So how does one manage to pay their monthly bills and still have enough money left over to save for a rainy day? Following are some tried-and-true suggestions for building an emergency savings fund—whatever your income level or financial situation.
Save First, Not as an Afterthought
The first trick to savings is not to wait and see how much you "have left over" at the end of the month, but rather to "pay yourself first." At the beginning of the month (or each time you get paid), put aside a certain amount towards your emergency savings before you do anything else. Once this money is safely in your savings account, you won't be tempted to spend it.
Set It and Forget It
Take matters one step further by automating your savings to reduce any likelihood for human error—or weakness. Set up an automatic transfer from your checking to your savings account at the beginning of each month (or each time you get paid) so there's no chance you'll forget to put this money aside or use it for other preoccupations. Better still, if your employer offers direct deposit, earmark a dollar amount to be automatically withdrawn and deposited into your savings account directly from each paycheck. Even $25 a week turns into $600 in six months—or $1,200 in a year!
Stash Your Windfalls
Resist the urge to spend any extra money that happens to come your way. If you get a rebate check, a tax refund, or even $20 in a birthday card from your favorite Uncle, stash it immediately in your emergency savings fund. Since you weren't counting on this money as part of your monthly budget, you'll hardly miss it, and every little windfall will help get you closer to your savings goal. Think of this money as "found" money.
Slash Your Budget
Free up extra money for savings by taking a red marker to your budget and trimming as much fat as possible. Do you really need to pay for those 700 cable channels? Do you really need to eat out 3 times a week? What about purchasing the store brand rather than the name brand for items such as coffee, cereal, ice cream, bread, and medication? Every bit you can slash from your monthly budget gives you more cash you can put towards your emergency fund.
Let Your Money Grow
Make sure the money you're saving is working for you by putting it into a high-yield savings account, money market account or certificate of deposit (CD) where it can grow, providing you with even more money when you need it. Just be sure that whatever savings instrument you use, your emergency money is readily accessible without incurring a penalty (i.e., an early withdrawal fee) for withdrawing it.
A Win-Win Proposition
If after a point in time you have achieved your emergency fund objective, use future savings for long-term savings and possible investment. After all, you have become accustomed to living without this money, why stop saving now?
Remember every dollar saved counts. And isn't it better to keep more of your hard earned money to build an emergency fund (and possible future savings) rather than using a credit card to pay for every unexpected bill that comes your way? We think so.

Sirianni's Climb Continues
When Nick Sirianni and his good friend, Tom Langworthy, were kids, they would often find their way to the attic of the former's West Ellicott home where they would try on shoulder pads and jerseys that were stored there.
Even as a first-grader at Celoron Elementary School, Langworthy, quickly discovered that football was a huge part of the Siriannis' DNA.
Nick's dad, Fran, was the former high school coach at nearby Southwestern after a stellar playing career in Kane and Clarion University that gave him a brief stint as a semi-pro; and his older brothers, Mike and Jay, then teenagers, were already up to their figurative chin straps in the game and on a gridiron odyssey that would later surpass even the considerable success of their father, who will be inducted into the Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame tomorrow.
But Nick, the youngest Sirianni sibling by six years, has surpassed them all. For while the older brothers found their considerable niches as coaches — Mike at Division III Washington & Jefferson College where his winning percentage compares favorably with anyone in the land, and Jay formerly at Southwestern where he won two state championships — Nick, who was named the offensive coordinator of the National Football League's Indianapolis Colts last week, has ascended to the pinnacle of the sport.
"I've been around this game a long time, and been around a lot of great offensive minds, (and) Nick is among the top offensive minds I've ever been around," new Colts head coach Frank Reich told Colts.com said last week. "This guy is a stud. He's incredibly fast-minded. He's great in the pass game. He knows the run game very well. He's dynamic on field with players. He's a great teacher. He's got a lot of charisma. He's a grinder, hard worker. This is a guy I have complete confidence and trust in."
Beginning in middle school, one of Langworthy's fondest memories was New Year's Day at the home of Fran and Amy Sirianni, who lived a couple hundred yards away.
"I would go to Nick's early for the first (college) bowl game," said Langworthy, now the head varsity football coach at Jamestown High School and the principal at the Raymond J. Fashano Technical Academy. "Mr. Sirianni would have two TVs set up. The first game would be at noon, then a game at like 3 and then the Rose Bowl. I'd watch four bowl games with the Siriannis on New Year's. I'd get there at 11 a.m. and stay there until 11:30 p.m.
"It was awesome. Man, those guys really love football."
And while Mike and Jay carved out banner coaching careers at the college and high school levels, Nick always had his eyes on the sport's biggest stage — the NFL.
His rise to the top of his profession has happened relatively quickly.
After starting his career at the University of Mount Union, Nick's college alma mater, the 1999 Southwestern Central School graduate later coached at Division II Indiana University-Pennsylvania before joining the Kansas City Chiefs' staff under head coach Todd Haley in 2009.
After Haley was fired by Kansas City near the end of the 2011 season, Nick remained with the Chiefs and was named wide receivers coach in 2012 for new coach Romeo Crennel. Nick was the only holdover from Haley's staff to earn a promotion.
When Kansas City ownership made yet another head coaching change after 2012, Nick landed with the Chargers as their quality control coach under head coach Mike McCoy. After the Chargers made an improbable postseason run in 2013 that included a victory at Cincinnati in the AFC Divisional playoffs, Nick was promoted to quarterbacks coach.
The 2017 season was his second as wide receivers coach with the Chargers, setting the stage for his move to Indianapolis.
"He's a relentless perfectionist," Langworthy said. "He can be obsessed with it. He took a profession — something that he loves — and tried to be perfect at it. That's the reason why he's had the success in a relatively short period in the NFL. … He broke the mold."
To say Nick is a competitor would be an understatement.
"We used to have competitions and it would get heated," Langworthy said. "We'd go at each other verbally and physically at times."
One summer, Langworthy and Nick had their own version of the Olympics. The events included, among others, miniature golf; Jenga, the block-stacking, stack-crashing game; home run derby; and Jeopardy.
"It was fun," Langworthy said. "It came back to Jenga, and he beat me."
Nick has been building his coaching resume ever since, a foundation that was first laid in West Ellicott and now sits in Indiana under the watch of Reich, the former backup quarterback with the Buffalo Bills, who was introduced as the Colts' head coach earlier this week.
"Nick's enthusiasm is contagious," Langworthy said. "If you're looking at the dynamic of the two, Frank was a mentor to Nick (with the Chargers). He taught Nick a lot of what he knows and he had a big influence on him. … Frank is invested with Nick because they coached together. Now, that's going to pay Frank back. … When you read about what other players say about Nick it's that he's committed to excellence every day. He's enthusiastic and he loves it."
At the end of every NFL season, Langworthy checks Twitter for any news of his friend's remarkable NFL odyssey. And, then the texts between them will follow.
"I'm in a text group with like four or five of my closest friends," Langworthy said. "It started out as, and it still is, a group that prays for each other. We keep up through that."
Earlier this week, Langworthy received a text from a member of that prayer group that included a link to a "breaking news" story about Nick becoming the Colts' new offensive coordinator. But just because Nick has ascended to the highest of coaching positions in America's most popular sport, Langworthy won't stop the prayerful, encouraging and humorous communications with his friend.
"That's the thing that's great about Nick," Langworthy said. "Even though Andrew Luck is his quarterback and (Nick will) be calling plays for the Colts, I'll still text him lines from (old movies and rap lyrics), because that's just what we've always done."
And then the longtime friends will laugh.
And laugh.
And laugh.
Just like they always have.

By Dave Imbrogno, Senior Partner*
I recently attended a conference exploring the connection between science and the human spirit. It was co-sponsored by the Yale School of Forestry and the Yale Divinity School. Every morning on my way to breakfast I encountered a woman coming down from the roof of the building where we stayed. After a number of those intriguing encounters she finally revealed that she was rapidly losing her sight. For six months now, every morning before dawn, she would go to the woods, the beach or, in this case the roof to, in her words, "See the light."
At this same conference, another amazing woman spoke. Years earlier she was in the path of a uni-bomber attack. She spent six months in a body cast, immobile, unable to speak. What kept her sane, and perhaps alive, she said, were the sound of birds, sun and storms and, the changing light of day and night which filtered into the room through a small window.
After spending over twenty five years in environmental and informal science education, I have seen more people than ever are aware of the practical, economic and scientific value of nature. Those of us working in this field can be proud. But, those two women understood the other more personal, intrinsic values of the natural world. Connecting with that more personal and intrinsic side of science and nature is the new frontier in environmental and science education.
India is one of the few places in Asia where you can find people and wild nature living together. In perhaps the most crowded and intense place in the world, people and nature coexist as much as they do not so much because of the practical value of nature, but because of the respect for life and the spiritual connection with it that so many Indians have.
We have much to learn from India, people who are losing their sight, artists, poets and those inner voices inside of us that tell us what is beautiful, good and the right thing to do.
Society responds most strongly when the issues are moral ethical and personal. The next challenge in environmental protection is to make those personal, inner connections between people and our world.
Here at THE DRAGONFLY GROUP we are very interested in exploring the many different connections between people with nature. We do this on the scientific and practical level with biology, ecology, horticulture and more. We also do this on the personal level by exploring the use of nature inspired art in parks and museums, and by giving new emphasis to providing opportunities for people to find quiet, peaceful places to find their own personal connection with the world.
One purpose of science is to find the truth. Artists and poets share that same goal. Together, we are finding new, interdisciplinary ways to expand the connection between people and nature to include not only the mind, but the spirit.
