Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing's Jason Anderson Takes the Triple Crown Victory in Atlanta
The Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing Team faced the elusive Triple Crown format at the Atlanta Supercross, the ninth round of the series, held at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia on Saturday. Three 250SX East Main Events and three 450 Main Events proved to be a grueling task for riders, but the Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing Team was up for the task. Jason Anderson walked away with his first Triple Crown victory, while teammate Zach Osborne overcame adversity to put in a heroic ride and maintain his lead in the 250SX East championship. Dean Wilson had a steady night in the 450 class to finish eighth.
Jason Anderson pulled a fourth at the start of the first 450 Main Event and was on the tail of Baggett in third. He made a quick inside pass in the third lap to overtake the third-place spot then started battling.. He made the pass stick the following lap and sat solidly in third. He inched closer to the top-two with three and a half minutes to go and got aggressive as he made the pass for second. He swapped positions with the leader in a spectacular battle amongst the top-six riders, then held his ground to finish second. He pulled his first holeshot of 2018 in the second 450 Main Event, rode his own race out front, and held his ground to the very end to take the win. He was fourth at the start of the third and final 450 Main Event and inherited third after Blake Baggett went down in the rhythm section in the second lap. He stayed focused and made the pass for second a few laps later, then went back to third after battling with Eli Tomac with just over seven minutes remaining in the race. Still holding the points lead on the night, he rode a smart race to finish fourth. The 2-1-4 finish gave him his first Triple Crown victory of the season and maintains his lead in the 450 championship.
"I was really able to pull through for the races," said Anderson. "Practice didn't go as well as I had hoped, but I pulled through. I was consistent during the races—that's what helped the most. The whoops were sketchy, but I had enough of a cushion in the last main to not have to push it so hard and still come out with the overall."
Zach Osborne was second at the start of the first 250 Main Event and waited for his opportunity to strike. His chance came with just over four minutes remaining as he took the lead after the leader went off the track. He stayed strong to take the first victory of the night. He was second at the start of the second 250 Main Event and quickly regained the position after falling back to third. He turned up the intensity and put on a charge before coming together with Austin Forkner and going down. He quickly remounted and rode smart to finish third. He was top-10 at the start of the final 250 Main Event but went down after getting caught up in a group of downed riders in the beginning of the race. The incident put him farther back in the pack with nine and half minutes to go. He had his work cut out for him, but knew what he was capable of. Filled with determination, he charged through the pack and put on a heroic ride to finish fifth. The 1-3-5 gave him second overall on the night and maintains his lead in 250SX East rider point standings.
"It was a decent night," said Osborne. "I missed out on the overall in the last main – it is what it is – but I'm still happy with the night. I had a great ride in the first main, and two strong rides after that. I hit my nose and my face pretty hard in the second main when I crashed, but I'm going to keep fighting."
Dean Wilson was mid-pack at the start of the first 450 Main Event and made his way up to 11th with just over five minutes remaining in the race. He put in a charge and made two more passes to finish ninth. He was top-10 at the start of the second Main Event and rode a consistent race to finish 10th. He was mid-pack at the start of the final 450 Main Event and focused on moving through the pack. He charged up to 11th with a little over seven minutes remaining and continued to put in work. He made one more pass to finish 10th. The 9-10-10 finish gave him eighth overall on the night. He is currently 12th in 450 rider point standings.
"The three race format was definitely a bit hectic," said Wilson. "I kept getting in little pileups the first few laps, which set me back a bit. I'm going to focus on getting my starts dialed so I can run up front in the coming weeks. I'm excited for Daytona, and I hope to be in the top-five."
Teammate Michael Mosiman lined up for the first time this season in the 250SX East class. He rode hard and went 18-12-12 for 13th overall on the night.

Shlomo Riskin
The revolutionary message of Judaism
PARSHAT BO
Efrat, Israel — "And it came to pass that at midnight the Lord smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne, to the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of the cattle." [Ex. 12:29]
Why is the killing of the firstborn the final, and most significant, plague? True, it brought death into every household, rattling Egypt at its foundations, but certainly the plagues of hail, or fire in blocks of ice falling from the sky, or total, crippling darkness for three days and nights, were not inconsequential demonstrations of God's power. Any of these plagues could have dealt a knockout punch to the most cold-hearted of dictators. What, then, is it about the killing of the firstborn that proved most effective?
I suggest that it is because it destroyed a certain institution of ancient culture that God found objectionable: primogeniture, the primacy and veneration of the firstborn. Turning to the earliest pages of Genesis, we find the theme of the firstborn early in the Torah, when sibling rivalry between Cain and Abel is translated into the rejection and acceptance of their respective sacrifices to God: the hypocritical gift of the firstborn Cain is rejected, while the more sincere offering of the younger Abel is accepted.
Part of Cain's vexation is due to the fact that he sees his firstborn status as having been overlooked – and indeed it was, since sincerity of devotion is ultimately more important than order of birth.
Thus, Abraham's eldest son, Ishmael, must step aside for the younger Isaac because the former is a metzahek [Gen. 21:9] – a scorner and an adulterer – which renders him unfit for the birthright. Of Isaac's two sons, Esau must give way to Jacob, since the former scorned the birthright, first by selling it for a mess of pottage, and then by taking Hittite wives.
Jacob also has a firstborn, Reuben, but having "moved" his father's bed – either an attempt to determine with whom his father would sleep after the death of Rachel, or a euphemism for illicit relations with his father's concubine – he is deemed unfit. In his place, leadership passes to Judah and Joseph.
With the birth of the Jewish People in the book of Exodus, a revolutionary concept emerges on the world stage: the prevailing rule of the firstborn rapidly comes to an end. Indeed, the essence of the Egyptian-Hebrew confrontation boils down to the idea that if you're born an Egyptian, you have the right to enslave, and if you're born a Hebrew, you become a slave.
Slavery was not exclusive to Egypt. The Greeks and the Romans believed that anyone born into a race other than theirs was barbaric, and that they had the moral right to enslave all barbarians.
Indeed, less than 150 years ago, a bloody war was fought in the United States because nearly half the country chose secession rather than adhering to the law that condemned slavery as illegal. And 75 years ago, the free world was threatened by a nation that believed in the Aryan right to dominate and exterminate.
From the moment it began its ascent in the world, Judaism's message has been that an individual's merits are more important than an individual's genealogy. Therefore, the killing of the firstborn of the Egyptians not only strikes terror in the heart of every household member, it also tolls the death knell for the revered institution of the firstborn.
Many generations later, following the destruction of the Second Commonwealth, and in the absence of a priesthood and monarchy, the Rabbinic Sages emerged as the leaders of the Jewish People. These scholars taught – and demonstrated – the principle of meritocracy: one becomes a leader through study and devotion, not as a result of "yichus" (ancestry). A prime example of this can be found in the teaching: "A mamzer [person born of adultery or incest] who is a Torah scholar takes precedence over an ignorant High Priest." [Mishna, Horayot 3:8]
The Talmud expands this concept: "You shall therefore observe My statutes, and My ordinances, which if a human [adam] does, he shall live by them…" (Lev. 18:5). Rabbi Meir says that the Torah's choice of the word "human" [adam] means that a non-Jew who observes the Torah and mitzvot is as great as the High Priest. [Babylonian Talmud, Sanhedrin 59a]
This revolutionary – and fundamentally democratic – message is one of Judaism's great lessons for humanity. This concept, so central to the idea of the Exodus, can and should empower all people, Jews and non-Jews alike, to throw off their shackles of genealogy and birth order, and attempt to attain true freedom.
A leading voice in the Modern Orthodox world, Rabbi Shlomo Riskin is an educator, social activist and author who serves as Founder and Chancellor of the Ohr Torah Stone network of pioneering men's and women's institutions. He is also Chief Rabbi of Efrat, Israel, and the founding rabbi of Lincoln Square Synagogue in New York City. He earned semicha from Rabbi Soloveitchik at Yeshiva University, and a PhD from NYU.

CHICAGO -- Egyptian radiologists who performed the first-ever computed tomography (CT) evaluation of King Tutankhamun's mummy believe they have solved the mystery of how the ancient pharaoh died. The CT images and results of their study were presented today at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).
Ashraf Selim, M.D., radiologist at Kasr Eleini Teaching Hospital, Cairo University in Egypt, was part of an international team of scientists that studied the 3,300-year-old mummy of King Tut in Egypt. Using a mobile multi-detector CT scanner, the researchers performed a full-body scan on the king's remains, obtaining approximately 1,900 digital cross-sectional images.
"We found the mummy was in a critical stage of preservation," said Dr. Selim. "The body was cut into several parts with some missing pieces."
With the help of the CT images, researchers estimated King Tut's age at death to be between 18 and 20 years. His height was 180 centimeters or approximately 5 feet 11 inches. The researchers discovered a possible premortem fracture to the femoral (thigh) bone. While they cannot assess how the injury occurred, the findings suggest that the injury may have been an open wound that became infected and ultimately fatal.
Since King Tut was first examined by x-ray in 1968, revealing what appeared to be a bone fragment in his skull, it has been widely speculated that a blow to the head killed the boy king. However, Dr. Selim and colleagues found several pieces of evidence to the contrary. In the cranial cavity, they found loose bone fragments that were not covered with the intracranial solidified embalming material. These bone fragments matched exactly a defect within the first vertebra in the neck. They found no evidence of skull fractures.
A mishap during the mummification process, or even damage incurred during that first x-ray examination may explain the misplaced--and misleading--bone fragments. Dr. Selim suggests the damage may have been caused by the expedition led by Howard Carter that first discovered Tut's tomb in 1922.
"We believe that this broken piece from the first vertebra of the king's spine may have been fractured and dislodged when Carter, Derry, Hamdy and their team tried to remove and free the gold mask, which was tightly glued and quite adherent to the body, by using some metal instruments that broke the thin, fragile piece of bone that lies immediately underneath the bone defect in the skull base through which the spinal cord emerges," Dr. Selim said.
Dr. Selim's team did not escape the so-called curse that is said to plague anyone who disrupts the remains of the boy king.
"While performing the CT scan of King Tut, we had several strange occurrences," he said. "The electricity suddenly went out, the CT scanner could not be started and a team member became ill. If we weren't scientists, we might have become believers in the Curse of the Pharaohs."
The CT examination of King Tut is part of a five-year initiative called the Egyptian Mummy Project to image and preserve Egypt's mummies and to solve various mysteries about the diseases and lifestyles of ancient Egyptians.
King Tutankhamun, who ascended to the throne when he was just eight years old, was mummified and buried with other ancient royals. His tomb, filled with 5,000 artifacts, was discovered near Luxor, Egypt in 1922. Artifacts from the tombs of King Tut and other royals buried in the Valley of the Kings are part of "Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs," an exhibition currently at Chicago's Field Museum.

Listening To The Messages: Oumou Sangaré's Favourite Albums
David McKenna , July 10th, 2019 08:36
Malian musician Oumou Sangaré speaks to David McKenna about her favourite music, being discovered by Ali Farka Touré, and collaborating with Alicia Keys and Tony Allen
Kasse Mady Diabaté – Kela Tradition
He was one of the great voices of Africa and his death [last year] was a great loss for Mali. But he did a lot for Mali, in the domain of the jelis [the griots] he's a monument for us. It's rare to hear a voice like that. He didn't have the same recognition abroad as Salif but in Mali he's super important. On this album he talks about [the village of] Kéla, his origins and the real jeliya [the griot's art]. But his daughter [Hawa Kassé Mady] is there and she's trying to continue his legacy, so it's not entirely lost. We won't forget him anyway.

The fight for victory at Brno was a classic. Can Spielberg serve up a repeat?
Only a few days after the Czech GP it's already action stations for Austria as MotoGP™ returns to the Styrian Alps and the stunning Red Bull Ring – Spielberg. Altitude and acceleration are the buzzwords and Ducati are the reigning kings of the mountain. Winners in 2016 and 2017 at the track that plays into the hands of the Borgo Panigale factory's machinery perfectly, the omens are good for Andrea Dovizioso (Ducati Team) and teammate Jorge Lorenzo as they arrive in Austria in the wake of their 1-2 at Brno. 'DesmoDovi' won the duel for the win last season, and Lorenzo is now a serious threat on the other side of the garage. Can anyone depose the Ducatis from the top step?
Marc Marquez (Repsol Honda Team) is the man who came so close to ending their rule at the Red Bull Ring last season. The number 93 stayed with Dovizioso to the end and the two men staged the first of a series of duels: first came Spielberg, then came Motegi, then Qatar…but it wasn't quite the same at Brno. Marquez was right on the tail of the red machines ahead of him, but the reigning Champion couldn't make a move against Lorenzo stick. Revenge at the Red Bull Ring would be sweet – but would a bigger Championship lead be even sweeter? To get that, it's a Yamaha Marquez would likely need to beat: Valentino Rossi (Movistar Yamaha MotoGP).
Yamaha remain on the hunt for that next win. Rossi put up a good fight at Brno until the final stages – nevertheless still able to beat Cal Crutchlow (LCR Honda Castrol) to the line – but Maverick Viñales (Movistar Yamaha MotoGP) was involved in an early incident that sent him into the gravel, ending a run of 19 races in the points and meaning no rider has scored in every race this season. It also ruled him out of the Brno test, so can Yamaha field their A game in Austria and push forward at what's traditionally a more difficult venue for the Iwata marque?
The fight for top Independent Team rider is hotting up now too: Crutchlow, Brno's top Independent, is now only seven points off the lead of Johann Zarco (Monster Yamaha Tech 3) in the chase for that title – and Danilo Petrucci (Alma Pramac Racing) is between the two. Will Ducati power and acceleration see him strike back? And what of the rookies? Hafizh Syahrin (Monster Yamaha Tech 3) remains ahead of Franco Morbidelli (EG 0,0 Marc VDS) by just two points, but that hangs in the balance every weekend.
Meanwhile Team Suzuki Ecstar want more from Austria and Andrea Iannone is a former winner at the venue, but for Red Bull KTM Factory Racing, despite good progress cutting the gap to the front, it's not quite the fairytale return to their home venue in the hills they were planning. Test rider and oft-racing wildcard Mika Kallio is out after a crash in the German GP and the bad luck kept rolling in Brno: Pol Espargaro will now also be sidelined after his crash there. So for KTM, home hopes are pinned on Bradley Smith. The Brit was on good form in Czechia as he qualified P15, before he was involved in a multi-rider crash and wasn't able to race to the end. A bounce back will be on the cards in Spielberg.
Last year, Crutchlow finished the Austrian GP in fifteenth just 28.096 seconds behind race winner Dovizioso – the closest premier class top 15 at the time. It's now sixth on the list as competition continues to amaze but Brno is the closest top ten, and that incredibly tight finish to decide the podium? The third closest in the MotoGP™ era.
So how will Austria play out? The battle lines were drawn at Brno and Spielberg has been Ducati territory too. Will there be a new king of the Red Bull Ring? Find out on Sunday 12th August at 14:00 (GMT +2) for another shot of Austrian adrenaline.


Well, Alona Cooke has done it again, friends. Quickly becoming known as the "Princess of Pop Ups", in a blink of an eye, gone from her Capri site is the outstanding Wolf In Sheep's Clothing, and in is AK Supper Club, which just opened for service last Saturday.
I joined Ms. Cooke at her table last night to hear about the latest and eat some food that is pretty much all I'm talking about today. As I told Alona, her recent project collaborations have single-handedly made my palate mature. I'm serious. I have never liked mushrooms in my life, and there was a mushroom/polenta dish at Wolf/Sheep's that I still think about. Same for their rainbow trout in a jar, that sounds disgusting and was probably my favorite thing there. The same thing happened last night, when I put myself in Alona's wise ordering hands, and all of a sudden, I like previously thought disgusting beets. Beets! Whoa. I may just officially be a grown up.
Taking over the stove at AK Supper Club (operating through July, as it stands now, so get there!) is Kevin Kathman, an alumni of Thomas Keller's French Laundry, and also a Minnesota native, I found out after the fact. (No wonder it's so good!) I chatted with him in the kitchen for a minute while he shook delicious smelling pans, and told him about my growing up that he'd contributed to. He said, sagely, "The reason you might not have liked something before is that is wasn't given to you properly." True that, and could be applied to pretty much everything in life, if you think about it.
We drank a big, delicious rioja and ate those beautiful, fairy tale looking beets. And a fresh, summery tasting leek dish. And some ridiculous lime-y shrimp. And some cod brandade, that is basically smushed up to porridge consistency fish you smear on bread. Again, it sounds filthy, but in actuality is so good I was laughing.
Alona decided we needed some red meat with our red wine and we split the perfectly cooked steaked with fingerlings and shallots. I felt stronger.
This savory parade had to be followed by a sweet finish, of course, and we went for the peak of summer peaches and the passion fruit panna cotta that we agreed was more than vaguely sexual in how very, very good (and complex) the contrasting flavors of the passion fruit, blueberry, grapefruit and basil were. More laughter.
And that's what makes for a delightful evening out. Talking, laughing, enjoying delectable tastes, trying new things, sharing wisdom, learning from each other ... I want to be a part of this Club.
Make a point of joining yourself ... and soon, as you never know how long you'll get to with these pop up deals.
*Open daily at 5:30, Tasting menu on Mondays.

Home » Rodent Dropping Cleanup » How Long Does It Take for You to Know if You Have Hantavirus?
Hantavirus is a fairly recently recognized pathogen in the United States. Infection with the hantavirus can have devastating and even fatal consequences. Recognizing the early symptoms of hantavirus infection is crucial in order to heighten the chance of survival from an infection.
Hantavirus technically is defined as "single-stranded, enveloped, negative-sense RNA viruses in the Hantaviridae family of the order Bunyavirales, which normally infect rodents where they do not cause disease. Humans may become infected with hantaviruses through contact with rodent urine, saliva, or feces." In the simplest of layperson's terms, hantavirus causes a disease that will make you very sick or kill you.
Hantavirus cannot be contracted in the United States through person to person contact. There appear to be some cases elsewhere around the globe in which person to person transmission of hantavirus has occurred. This is a different strain of the virus.
In the United States, humans become infected with hantavirus via contact with rodent drippings, including rat droppings. Rats do not become ill when they are infected with hantavirus. Rather, they are only carriers.
Dried rat droppings are particularly dangerous when it comes to the transmission of hantavirus. Unlike many other viruses, hantavirus can and does survive in a substance like dried rat droppings.
Dried rat droppings are highly susceptible to crumbling when touched. When rat dropping crumble, dust potentially containing hantavirus is released into the air. If inhaled, a person can become infected with hantavirus.
The problem associated with the early symptoms of hantavirus is that they are the same as those associated with the flu. Thus, time and again, initially a misdiagnosis of the flu rather than hantavirus can occur.
At this juncture, the condition caused by the hantavirus is called hantavirus pulmonary syndrome. When the disease reached this stage, a person must be taken to the hospital and placed in the ICU. A patient at this juncture nearly always must be placed on a ventilator.
There is no specific course of treatment or medication that can resolve a case of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome. Ideally, a diagnosis of this disease is made before it reaches the latter phase. The prospect for a recovery is higher when medical intervention occurs during the early stage of the infection.
The early set of symptoms of hantavirus can exhibit themselves within a week after infection. With that said, the early symptoms of an infection may not occur for six weeks, perhaps even a bit more, following infection.
Because the early symptoms of hantavirus may not immediately appear, indeed may not present for almost two months, a person needs to be proactive when he or she believes an exposure to mouse or rat droppings has occurred. This is particularly the case when the early symptoms of hantavirus mimic the flu. In the final analysis, the cliché of "better safe than sorry" definitely comes into play when it comes to the timeframe within which symptoms of the disease may appear – which may be at a point in time where a person is well into a full-blown infection.
Hantavirus was first recognized in the United States in 1993, in the Four Corners region of the country according to the University of California. During the first 10 years following the recognition of the virus in the county, about 600 people have been infected by hantavirus. Of that number, about 200 people died from the infection.
Hantavirus infections have been reported across the United States. With that said, the vast majority of cases of hantavirus infection have occurred in the Western United States, including in California.
If you are like the vast majority of people in this day and age, when you have an issue or a question, you turn to the internet. For example, if you have an issue with rat droppings at your home or business, you may access the internet for info about how to go about rat droppings cleanup.
The problem is the internet is awash with misinformation when it comes to rat droppings cleanup. The alarming reality is that if you follow some of the inaccurate information presented online regarding rat droppings, you can expose yourself to an infection like hantavirus. For this reason, if you detect a rat droppings problem at your home or business, you protect your health, and the welfare of others, by promptly engaging the services of a rat droppings cleanup specialist.

Could I ask the Music Archeologist if there is a recording in existence of Peter Green jamming with Jimi Hendrix? Been looking for that one for some time.
I did get up and jam with Jimi one night in 1968 in a London club called The Bag O' Nails. We all had a great time doing the Chicago Blues stuff.
- I doubt there is a recording of this, I'll check though.
This info from Green's FAQ for his fans has been circulating around for some time now and is well known to the blues lovers. I doubt Peter Green is able to remember anything from that era for obvious well known reasons. Even if a dirty bootleg, I refuse to believe nobody recorded the electricguitar legend playing with the greatest white blues player who was a jew. I understand there cant be a recording of JS. Bach jamming with Sylvius Leopold Weiss on lutes but if there is no info on PG + Jimi recording there is a serious gap in Music Archaeology - the term Musicology used by musicians.
Last edited by dubmasta on Thu May 18, 2017 2:21 pm, edited 1 time in total.
but yeah, whatever rocks your boat man.
Thanks for looking up the recording, hope u find it. That would be a historic piece of music.
All is beautiful but Ill have to disagree on two things in this thread which are absolutely incorrect. First and foremost the title of the thread itself. Ill have to disappoint you here but Music Archaeology (which I misspelled earlier) has nothing to do with what this guy describes. Even more, unearthing unknown gems, from unknown musicians, once again is totally irrelevant with Music Archaeology - which is a science of excavating archaic artifacts, sound devices and instruments, and other evidence of how ancient music was sung, played and performed, in order to recreate it and understand how that archaic music might have sounded like.
A simple and most popular example of that is the one that changed the western musical world forever - Baroque music, which was the product of deep studies of Ancient Greek texts and surviving scripts, using Pythagorean tuning and Ancient Hellenic scales that were used by greeks who lived all around from Minor Asia and North Italy (Magna Grecia at the time), from Gibraltar to Egypt, from Sparta to Makedonia. Things got interesting when revenging the Persian Empire for burning down Athens to the ground, Alexander realised his fathers dream to invade east and became the first greek who heavily blended hellenic and eastern cultures and music.
As for vinyl collecting, Im definitely going to give it a go once I can afford a Technics MK2.
I think people who love music should dig deeper and find the actual story behind a composition in order to understand what it is they are actually listening to and how and why it was written. At least that's what the Russian music teachers tought me when I lived in Soviet Union. They would actually say that its invaluable for a performer in order to play it. Wouldnt know about listeners. There were plenty of them saying the same thing so it kind of stuck in my brains since then. They were talking about classical music compositions but I think it stands for any kind of music.
I might be mislead-ed by the meaning of the term archaeology which Im sure I dont have to explain, combined it with the word Music, and thought it might mean archaeology of music, but I might be totally incorrect. I remember I studied a subject at the Tbilisi State Conservatoire before the fall of USSR, which was named Music History which dealt with all that. But again it all might be absolutely wrong so dont get my words for granted, and I might be making a fool of myself here.
Archaeology can mean any study of the history of culture, it doesn't have to take the typical 'digging things up' definition, so I think Pande's use of it is fine, but I totally get why you thought that dubmasta.
It's interesting, some people feel they really need that connection with the piece's past, the composer's thoughts and reasons etc., before they can appreciate a piece of music. My girlfriend likes to read up about the entire culture of a period, the influences etc. before she really gets into an artist. I'm the opposite really, I like to appreciate a piece of music on its own merits rather than its context. Further information can sometimes add to it, but it has to stand its own ground for me to enjoy it.


As developing telecom markets go, Nigeria appears to have it all. A young, fast growing population of about 150 million people and oil exports averaging more than 2.3 million barrels a day. But these attributes are also tempered by corruption and poor infrastructure, which in turn has created a tough business environment for most sectors.
While Nigeria has a vibrant telecoms sector, with five GSM operators and about 13 CDMA players, it is most often in the news for the wrong reasons, usually relating to the country's incumbent operator, Nitel.
While Nigeria's four private mobile operators, MTN, Globacom, Zain and Etisalat continue to demonstrate robust growth, Nitel, far from holding a dominant position in the market, is an ailing firm with little market share and an uncertain future.
The company is owned by national conglomerate Transcorp, which bought it from the government's Bureau of Public Enterprises for $750 million in 2006.
The company, which has been beset by intermittent strike action from staff protesting at non-payment of wages, has limited fixed infrastructure consisting of fibre and legacy copper, and has seen its fixed line business decline steadily since the first GSM players started business in 2001.
Indeed, the company now had just 40,000 live fixed access connections in June 2009, down from a peak of 500 000 in 2001, according to data from telecom analyst Onda Analytics.
Nitel's mobile arm, M-Tel, is also suffering. With a meagre 90,000 subscribers, M-Tel is by far the smallest GSM player, lagging way behind its four rivals, market leader MTN, Glo, Zain, and Etisalat, which had 27.3 million, 15.9 million, 14.4 million, and 1 million subscribers in 2009 respectively, according to Onda Analytics.
Nitel, which is soon to be privatised, made news headlines again in January, with potential investors unable to conduct due diligence owing to staff strikes which led to restricted access to key sites. This in turn led the BPE to extend the deadline for the investors to make proposals for the company until February 5, from a previous deadline of January 22.
According to local press reports, fourteen companies have expressed an interest in Nitel, including MTN Nigeria; Etisalat Nigeria; Brymedia; Finetek.com/Ericsson consortium; Omen International; Fugar Technologies and MTI Consortium. Others are Telefonica Consortium; Globacom Nigeria; Conau; Dansacom Technologies Ltd; Adison Consulting; AF21/ Spectrum Consortium and Foneama.com.
Nitel's assets have been split into six parts for the purposes of the sale. These consist of fixed line telephony under the Nitel name; SAT-3; a national fibre-optic transmission backbone; a CDMA network; GSM network M-Tel; and Analog System (TACS), according to African news site 234next.com.
Despite being involved in various parts of the telecoms sector, Nitel has made little traction and its potential also seems limited. "It has really got nowhere while there has been huge growth in the market in the past few years. Everyone else has capitalised, but they [Nitel] have been left behind," says Daniel Jones, partner, Onda Analytics.
"Nitel has been plagued by mismanagement for years. There hasn't been the investment from a big operator, and that is the problem. They are up against some pretty stiff competition in MTN, Zain, Etisalat and Glo, which is almost more of a national operator than Nitel," he says.
Jones adds that one of Nitel's few "plus points", its Sat-3 cable, which allows it to resell services to other operators, could also be undermined in the coming years as more undersea cables reach Nigeria.
"That asset is useful at the moment but it is very time limited. In a few years there will be much more competition for international capacity to make that redundant almost."
Nigeria is also marked for its large CDMA sector, with some 13 CDMA operators in the country. These players, which include the likes of Visaphone, Multilinks Telkom, Starcomms, and Reliance Telecom, have a combined subscriber base of 8.6 million subscribers, according to Onda Analytics.
While most of these companies started as fixed wireless players, their licences were upgraded in 2007 to include mobile services, providing yet more competition to the country's GSM players.
"They are still far off the GSM operators in terms of subscribers but there has been some growth there," Jones says. "There is so much competition that it looks like there has got to be some consolidation between them. On top of having five licenced GSM operators, they can't all survive."
To this end, Jones also thinks that the GSM operators are likely to continue looking at cost cutting measures including network sharing and outsourcing. This was something that Zain pursued last year, when it outsourced the operation of its network to vendor Ericsson.
For Nigeria's four GSM players, growth has been rapid in recent years, but that rate of growth now looks set to tail off, according to MTN and Zain.
"Growth has been phenomenal in the last couple of years. While the growth will not be as fast as it has been in the last few years, there is still a lot of growth and there will be expansion into other markets like data," says Akinwale Goodluck, MTN Nigeria corporate services executive.
Emeka Oparah, manager of CSR and PR at Zain Nigeria says that growth was "very strong" in the beginning but has slowed in recent years as penetration and competition have increased and tariffs have dropped. He says that average ARPU is about $10 "at the best of times."
On top of this, Oparah says that one of the main challenges that operators face in the country is power supply. He says that most of the company's base stations are powered by diesel generators, which creates logistical and security problems, in terms of getting diesel to the sites, maintaining and protecting them.
In a bid to counter this cost, Zain has been introducing hybrid base stations powered by a combination of solar power and diesel, according to Oparah.


"The Tully-Fisher Relation and H0" by Riccardo Giovanelli, Martha P. Haynes et al.
The use of the Tully-Fisher (TF) relation for the determination of H0 relies on the availability of an adequate template TF relation and of reliable primary distances. Here we use a TF template relation with the best available kinematical zero point, obtained from a sample of 24 clusters of galaxies extending to cz ~ 9000 km s-1, and the most recent set of Cepheid distances for galaxies fit for TF use. The combination of these two ingredients yields H0 = 69 ± 5 km s-1 Mpc-1. The approach is significantly more accurate than the more common application with single cluster (e.g., Virgo, Coma) samples.

Finally, the fiscally responsible grownups are in charge:
The Federal Emergency Management Agency awarded a $55 million contract for N95s this month to Panthera Worldwide LLC, which is in the business of tactical training. One of its owners said last year that Panthera's parent company had not had any employees since May 2018, according to sworn testimony.
It also has no history of manufacturing or procuring medical equipment, according to a review of records produced as a result of legal disputes involving the company and its affiliates.
Panthera Worldwide's parent company filed for bankruptcy last fall, and the LLC is no longer recognized in Virginia — where it has its main office — following nonpayment of fees, which according to Virginia code results in "the existence of a limited liability company" being "automatically canceled."
If only there had been a period of weeks when the Trump administration could have tried to secure critical equipment from companies that actually produce such equipment at non-extortionate rates.
At least Trump remains laser-focused on setting petty grievances aside to address a massive crisis:
President Trump has created a new bipartisan task force on reopening the economy. The committee is so huge — 32 House members, and an absurd 64 senators — that it can't possibly do any real work, and seems to serve mainly as an honorific.
But the honor neglects one specific person: Mitt Romney. Trump extended invitations to the other 52 Senate Republicans, and to 12 Senate Democrats, but declined to invite the party's 2012 presidential nominee. One possibility is that the former Bain Capital executive, Olympics chairman, and Massachusetts governor is less qualified to give advice about management and job creation than the other members of his caucus, and they only had room for 52 Senate Republicans on the letterhead.
The good news that it's only 20 years until he next presidential election.

The state's top gambling regulator, using the greyhound industry's own concern against it, has nixed an "emergency" request to allow tours of greyhound kennels at race tracks.
Robert Ehrhardt, director of the Division of Pari-mutuel Wagering, on Wednesday released a letter (reprinted below) that he sent to Florida Greyhound Association lobbyist and spokesman Jack Cory. Ehrhardt's division oversees dog racing and other gambling.
At issue is a worry over environmental "contamination," which trainers and owners themselves have long complained about, Ehrhardt explained.
He recited a litany of dog drug-testing cases in which trainers argued that 25 separate caffeine positives and 24 cocaine positives "were the result of contamination," for example.
Bearing in mind that "trainers have testified that kennel areas are susceptible to contamination," Ehrhardt said, "allowing more people into the backside (of race tracks) would contradict the directive that the Division has received from the industry and increase the chance of contaminating the racing animals.
The National Greyhound Association had said it would offer tours of "three Florida greyhound tracks and their on-site kennels." The free two-hour guided tours were "designed to promote transparency and educate the public about the care of greyhounds at the track, as well as stewardship of the breed," according to a press release.
A proposed constitutional amendment known as Amendment 13 aims at ending live greyhound racing at the 11 tracks in Florida where it's still offered. Such constitutional changes need at least 60 percent approval from voters this November to be adopted.
Derby Lane in St. Petersburg and the Palm Beach Kennel Club in West Palm Beach, had been selected to be the first two tracks to open their doors.

We heard from the folks at Team Titleist that the rumors are true. And since the location is just about a par-5 or two away from our Carlsbad headquarters, so you can expect a report from AmateurGolf.com as soon as The Scotty Cameron Gallery opens.
Scotty and his team have been working to conceptualize, design and create a new destination where golfers will be able to enjoy the Tour treatment and get their Scotty Cameron putter fit like a pro.
The Scotty Cameron Gallery is located a few minutes away from Scotty's Putter Studio and features the world's premiere putter fitting experience focused on the art – and science – of putting.
In addition to getting expertly fit for a Scotty Cameron putter, you'll be able to buy one-of-a-kind Scotty Cameron models, hand-crafted metalwork, apparel and more in this unique, boutique-like space. Getting into Scotty's studion has long been for Tour players and insiders, so we expect business to be brisk in Encinitas. And if things go as we expect they will, the concept could easily be repeated in other golf-centric locations.
Sounds pretty amazing to us.


In 2005, a project was instigated to interview the inhabitants of the modern village which lies adjacent to the site. Like many sites in Egypt, the site has suffered from natural erosion and decay, illicit and official excavations and particularly the widescale quarrying of archaeological deposits to use as agricultural fertiliser (sebakh).
However, such processes have rarely been seen from the viewpoint of the people who live on and around the ancient sites. The interviewees revealed fascinating details of previous excavations, but also the organisation of sebakh-removal. In addition, the existence of local mythologies related to the site became evident, including the Tawahah, a goat-footed woman who would roam the site at night.
Several local etymologies for the site name were proposed: 'Firin' was the name of a legendary king, or was a degradation of kiffary, the Arabic word for non-believers. The name of the ancient site remains unknown.
Another project sought to create a dialogue with local schools. This included on-site visits, but also presentations by team-members in nearby Nesim school.
This complemented a joint initiative between the British Museum and Torriano Junior School in North London, to use materials from Kom Firin to help with teaching Egypt in a cross-curricular manner.
This fieldwork would not be possible without the permission and support of the Supreme Council of Antiquities in Egypt. Acknowledgement is also due to the staff at the Cairo Museum, who facilitated research on the material from Kom Firin.
The work at Kom Firin is generously funded through The Townley Group, part of the British Museum Friends. Thanks are also due to the Archaeological Geophysics Laboratory of the University of Akron (Ohio) and the Czech Institute of Egyptology. In addition, the Egypt Exploration Society and Vodafone Egypt provided logistical support. Since 2008, the project has been generously sponsored to honour Safwat el-Mokadem.


Olive oil reminds us of its application in the kitchen for the purpose of cooking and frying. Nowadays, people have become aware of the benefits of olive oil for maintaining good health. They have started using it for daily cooking. However, apart from cooking, if you use Olive Oil for Hair Care as well as Skin Care, it will offer you with numerous benefits.
Before we learn the application of olive oil for hair care, let us first understand the benefits of olive oil for hair.
Olive oil is a treasure filled with benefits for hair growth, nourishment and shine. Olive oil is rich in moisturizing and growth properties. Olive oil was known as 'liquid gold' in the past. It is comprised of monosaturated fatty acids that help in keeping your hair healthy and lustrous. It softens your hair giving it the right amount of nourishment. Your hair becomes manageable without application of chemical products and conditioners. The fatty acids contained in olive oil strengthen the hair right from its roots to the hair tips.
Women who have undergone advanced hair treatments such as perms, curls, straightening, etc.
It can be used in various ways – Like a massage oil, conditioner, spa treatment, overnight treatment, or along with other natural ingredients.
Here are some of the ways of applying olive oil on hair including its benefits.
This is the simplest hair growth treatment. You can apply olive oil as you apply coconut or almond oil to your hair. After massaging olive oil into your hair for some minutes, you can wash it off with a good shampoo.
This is a simple yet effective treatment for removing dandruff from your hair. This treatment also gives softness to your hair. If your hair has become rough and flaky, then you may go for this treatment at home itself.
Warm olive oil for few seconds. Do not heat the oil. Massage the warm olive oil on your scalp for few minutes. Then, you can cover your head with a damp towel. This step is very useful for hair growth and strengthening. Remove the towel after one or two hours, depending upon your availability. Wash the hair with a good shampoo. Do not use a conditioner as the olive oil treatment itself acts as a conditioning treatment. This treatment can be done once in a week.
Well, coconut oil is a favourite oil of most of the women. Coconut oil is comprised of various essential fatty acids that boost hair growth. It also provides a layer of protection for the hair against hair loss, split ends, and other problems. Thus, if both these oils are used in a perfect combination, then it will be an amazing treatment for your hair.
Coconut oil and olive oil needs to be mixed in 2:1 proportion. Massage this mixture on the scalp for few minutes and leave it for a half hour or one hour. Wash the hair with a regular shampoo. As this treatment is simple, one can repeat it twice or thrice a week for better and quick results.
Olive oil creates miracles when it is mixed with essential oils such as tea tree oil. Tea tree oil is rich in anti-bacterial properties, moisturizing and dead cell removal elements. If this treatment is done regularly, one can fight with hair problems such as loss, removal of dandruff and head lice.
Warm few drops of tea tree oil and mix it with 2 teaspoons of olive oil. This mixture needs to be applied and massaged on the scalp for at least ten minutes. For acquiring best results, cover your head with a damp towel for one or two hours. Wash the hair with a good shampoo. The damp towel method helps in opening up of blocked pores, boosting hair growth.
If your hair is very dry and needs daily conditioning, then you can use olive oil as a leave-on conditioner after washing your hair. It will not dry your hair and will offer a layer of softness to it. It helps in getting rid of hair frizz for thick and curly hair. For this, you just need to lightly rub a few drops of olive oil on your washed hair. Curly-haired girls can rub olive oil lightly on the curls.
Olive oil is an effective treatment for getting a beautiful, young and radiant skin. Thus, if you are keeping a bottle of olive oil handy in your closet, you can do a lot for your hair as well as skin.
Make a habit of undergoing hair treatments using olive oil at home. If you are occupied in your busy schedules and are not getting time for a hair spa, you need not be upset. The simple olive oil treatment can work effectively on your hair for the rest of the week.
So, treat your hair generously with the ancient natural remedy – the olive oil.
Various Uses of Coconut Oil for Beauty and Health!
Thanks Makau. So are you planning to start using Olive Oil for your hair care?

Toybox REVIEW: S.H. Figuarts Ultraman (The Rise of Ultraman)
Release Date: October 2022
RRP: $50
With Ultraman's current conquest of the West advancing at a rapid pace it was only a matter of time before the franchise broke through to the convention exclusive circuit. Alongside the usual array of Dragon Ball Z figures, for the 2022 New York Comic Con (and later, various other events across Asia) Bandai Tamashii Nations revealed S.H. Figuarts Ultraman (The Rise of Ultraman) – the first Ultraman Figuarts initially aimed at a Western market. As the name suggests this figure draws inspiration from The Rise of Ultraman – the first of several limited comic book series by Marvel Comics released in 2020.
Straight off the bat if there's anything pointing toward this being a convention exclusive it's the packaging. Rather than the usual design reserved for the Ultraman Figuarts, this release comes in a smaller-style box with a windowless front featuring the The Rise of Ultraman #1 artwork by legendary artist Alex Ross. It's an incredible bit of artwork that really adds some gravitas to the box, and immediately sets it apart from the standard Ultraman releases. If you want a look at the figure itself though it can be viewed through a transparent window on the back (much like the Shin Ultraman packaging), where it sits alongside stock images of the figure in various poses. Inside Ultraman and his accessories are neatly stored on a moulded plastic tray.
S.H. Figuarts Ultraman (The Rise of Ultraman) is a repaint of the original Figuarts Ultraman from 2016, giving the base mould a shiny new paint job meant to mirror Alex Ross' artwork from issue one. The body now uses a slightly darker red alongside a shinier silver, decked out with blue highlights that give further muscle definition as well as replicating Ross' art. Similarly, the previously white eyes are now yellow – an element that not only mirrors that particular cover but also Ultraman's appearance in the comic in general. It's an absolutely spectacular paint job and easily the best this mould has received, not only making the figure feel far more 'modern' (the original release's colours catered more toward the original suit) but also like its own unique entity.
Comparison with the original release shows how much a new paintjob does for the figure, with this Ultraman looking both slicker and shinier in comparison. While the original does still have its charm, it's certainly lacking in comparison to the new Shinkocchou Seihou release. This new colour scheme has arguably given the original version a new lease on life – giving it a place on collectors' shelves when many would have sold it on upon receiving the Seihou.
Despite being a six-year-old figure the mould still has a fair bit to offer when it comes to articulation, and stands as the template that future Ultraman S.H. Figuarts were built upon. Altogether it features;
- Peg joint head
- Ball jointed neck, torso, waist and wrists
- Butterfly joint shoulders
- Swivel hinge shoulders, hips and ankles
- Double hinge elbows and knees
- Single hinge toe sections
- Thigh swivels
As you can see very little has actually changed since the original figure, and overall poseability remains pretty good. Much like the original version it can be a little difficult to get a perfect Specium Ray pose out of it (the shoulders just don't have the mobility), but it can get a satisfying one down at least. But the problem with this release isn't the articulation itself, but rather the joint tolerances. Not only is this mould getting pretty old now, but it's also had numerous reissues and remoulds/repaints (Zoffy, the Type A suit, a metallic edition) since then. As such the mould's been through the wringer by this stage and it's beginning to show a bit. Whereas on the original release I only complained of stiff shoulders (floppy hips came much later and were a reported issue), this one had stiff shoulders and elbows as well as loose hips straight out the box. Thankfully it can still pull off poses nicely without toppling over, but it does mean that the quality may vary from figure to figure.
That all said, it's the accessory count that sadly brings this figure down. Altogether this version of Ultraman only comes with a replacement red colour timer and two additional pairs of hands (open and Specium Ray pose) – two pairs less than the original release had. While like the figure itself these replacement hands have also had the blue highlight comic book treatment, it feels pretty stingy on Bandai's part to not include the same assortment as the original release. What's perhaps more glaring though is the lack of Specium Beam effect part – another element that was present on the original release AND is arguably a staple of nearly every Ultraman Figuarts. Even if Bandai didn't want to include the full beam effect here, something like the Ultra Slash part (previously included with S.H. Figuarts Mefilas) would have made this feel like a more "complete" release. Newer releases like Taiga, Z, Trigger and Decker have made me used to Ultraman Figuarts with no accessories, but that combined with the minimal number of hands makes it particularly sting here. On the upside, at least the colour timer is much easier to swap here than it was on the original? The way you go about it hasn't changed, but the age of the mould has presumably made the piece fit looser as well. Not so loose that it ever falls out, but loose enough that it's easy to pull out with a pair of tweezers.
The first (primarily) American-aimed Ultraman exclusive is a pretty big deal, and when it comes to looks S.H. Figuarts Ultraman (The Rise of Ultraman) certainly does not disappoint. Sure it might not be the shiny new Shinkocchou Seihou mould, but the yellow eyes and lavish new paint job really turn the old 2016 into something worthy of being called an exclusive. Sadly the age of mould is really beginning to show when it comes to poseability, and the minimal accessory count are flaws that are difficult to overlook on what's otherwise a great looking figure. It's a niche deco that'll mainly appeal to completists, but it's a great choice for an exclusive nonetheless.
