The floods this time, By Reuben Abati
Our major problem in Nigeria is negligence.
byReuben Abati
Flooding in Kogi State.
More than 29 states are reportedly affected, including communities along the banks of Rivers Niger and Benue and the Delta region. In Kogi, parts of the state capital are submerged. Governor Yahaya Bello, visiting the communities, has been shown riding on a canoe. In Anambra State – West and East and Awka North Local Government Areas – over 600,000 persons have been displaced. In Jigawa, deaths have been recorded in more than six local government areas.
I was a witness to the menace of flooding, and the consequences, in Nigeria that occurred in 2012, when between the months of July and October, 30 out of Nigeria's 36 states were submerged by flood. By mid-October, 2.1 million persons had been displaced from their homes, with over 400 persons dead; many homes were destroyed. The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) calculated the cost of the losses at about N2.6 trillion then, and described the floods as the worst in 40 years. It was not the first time Nigeria would experience floods. After all, before 2012, there had been the famous overflowing of the Ogunpa River in Ibadan, South West of Nigeria, in 1960, 1963, 1978 and notably 1980 – when the Ogunpa Floods left the city of Ibadan completely devastated, and Nigeria with a national disaster. What happened in 2012 was worse than the "Omiyale" phenomenon in Ibadan, as that was known locally.
The standard narrative about the Ogunpa floods was that it occured as a result of heavy rainfall and the dumping of waste along the Ogunpa River channels. The 2012 narrative was different. This was not simply about the dumping of refuse or the seasonal flash floods, but a national calamity with additional dimensions. The Federal Government of Nigeria, led by President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, had to provide a relief fund of N17.6 billion to various states to mitigate the effect. NEMA offered relief support. Camps were set up across the country to accommodate the affected persons and families. State governments liaised with the Federal Government and the Red Cross to help displaced persons. Food was released from the country's National Strategic Grains Reserve to prevent hunger and famine, as the country's agriculture supply chain had been disrupted. Farms in Nigeria's food basket states were completely destroyed. The most affected states were Adamawa, Taraba, Plateau, Benue, Kogi and the low-lying plains of Rivers Niger and Benue and the tributaries of both rivers.
We visited the camps: 10 years later, the experience remains dark, and haunting – nobody was spared, the old, the young and infants. The worst spectacle of all was the camp set up in Delta State, where we saw people on make-shift hospital beds, with the then Governor of the state, Emmanuel Ewetan Uduaghan, vowing that as a governor, he had a duty to save lives! One of the explanations we were given at the time was that climate change was a problem, and that the release of water from Nigerian dams, and release of water from the Lagdo Dam in Cameroon was also a major cause. It is astonishing, and a reflection of how we never take anything serious, and how Nigerian leaders do not pay attention to critical matters, that in 2022, we are back to the same situation we were in 2012. Some commentators have even said that the flooding this year is actually the worst ever.
More than 29 states are reportedly affected, including communities along the banks of Rivers Niger and Benue and the Delta region. In Kogi, parts of the state capital are submerged. Governor Yahaya Bello, visiting the communities, has been shown riding on a canoe. In Anambra State – West and East and Awka North Local Government Areas – over 600,000 persons have been displaced. In Jigawa, deaths have been recorded in more than six local government areas. In Nasarawa, a 4,400 hectares of rice farmland cultivated by Olam Agric Farms, worth about $20 million has been submerged and laid to waste. After 2012, Olam Farms built 52 kilometres of dykes around its farms. Everything has been wiped away. Olam Agric supplies about 25% of rice in Nigeria. Ade Adefeko, the company's vice president, external relations and stakeholder management, says the damage is so devastating that it could lead to food inflation, and that by December, a 50 kilogramme bag of rice, a staple food among Nigerians, could cost as much as N100,000. In 2014, a bag of rice was less than N20,000. As of September, a bag of rice was N54,000! Five days ago, in Lagos State, the Commissioner for Environment, Tunji Bello, advised persons living in the low-lying parts of the state and neighbouring Ogun State, like Ketu, Alapere, Owode Onirin, Kara, Agiliti, Odo Ogun, Agboyi, Isheri, Akute and Warewa, to relocate to upland areas because of the threat of floods. Concerned citizens have tried to explain why Nigeria now faces such a perennial problem of flooding.
The second reason that has been offered with regard to flooding in Nigeria is to blame the release of water from the Lagdo Dam on the Benue River in Northern Cameroon. Built between 1977 and 1982, the Lagdo Dam was meant for irrigation and the supply of electricity. Nigeria and Cameroon have a bilateral agreement over the dam and its management, which is principally that Nigeria will construct a similar dam or embankment on its own side.
One reason is that we are in the era of climate change. The global environment has been up-ended by carbon emissions and global warming. The International Panel on Climate Change, a creation of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO), advises its 195-member countries about the effects of greenhouse gas emissions, and how the impact can be mitigated. But despite the efforts of the IPCC, and civil society stakeholders like 19-year-old Swedish activist Greta Thunberg, and American actor, Leonardo DiCaprio, most leaders of the world pay lip service to climate change and its effects. Meeting the target of 1.5 degrees centigrade threshold or below, as recommended by scientists, and as agreed by world leaders under the Paris Climate Agreement requires concerted action on the parts of governments, financial institutions, corporations, the private sector and others, and it is something that we hear about on a regular basis at Conference of the Parties (COP) meetings on climate change. The effect of climate change is measured in terms of how our world is becoming unrecognisable: sea levels are rising, the arctic is getting warmer, temperatures are rising, rainfall levels have changed, nature is changing and becoming more acidic. When global leaders meet at COPs, they make promises and commitments: the last was in Glasgow, Scotland, in November 2021, the next one – COP 27 is scheduled for November 6-18, in Sharm el-Sheikh in Egypt. The leaders of the world would make the same promises, but action in terms of follow-up is poor and even worse – climate change, as is the case with everything else, has become an opportunity for politics and competition.
Nigeria is not left out. For more than a decade, Nigerian leaders have always included a paragraph or two on climate change in their statements at the United Nations General Assembly. Most recently at the 75th session of UNGA in New York, President Muhammadu Buhari spoke about the existential threat posed by climate change, Nigeria's Climate Change Strategy, and climate justice, and the need for financing to mitigate the effects of climate change. Like his boss, Nigeria's Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo has also consistently proposed a debt-for-climate-swap deal to achieve an equitable and just energy transition for Nigeria and Africa. In September, the Nigerian government inaugurated a National Council on Climate Change in pursuit of the implementation of the Climate Change Act of 2021. But the situation in Nigeria is similar to that of many other countries of the world. What we can hold on to is the reality of the dilemma. This year alone, the evidence of climate change has manifested in the form of floods in Aragua State in North Central Venezuela, in Indonesia, in Trinidad and Tobago, India, Australia, Pakistan and Florida, United States and closer home, in Chad.
The second reason that has been offered with regard to flooding in Nigeria is to blame the release of water from the Lagdo Dam on the Benue River in Northern Cameroon. Built between 1977 and 1982, the Lagdo Dam was meant for irrigation and the supply of electricity. Nigeria and Cameroon have a bilateral agreement over the dam and its management, which is principally that Nigeria will construct a similar dam or embankment on its own side. That embankment located in Dasin Village in Adamawa State has been under construction for close to 20 years. Cameroon fulfilled its own part of the bargain. We failed on our part. International purists can argue that Cameroon cannot keep causing us havoc each time water is released from the Lagdo Dam, but we are not even in any position to reciprocate. The bilateral agreement requires Cameroon to inform Nigeria at least a month earlier before it releases water from the Lagdo Dam. Our neighbours have routinely complied in this regard. As recently as September 13, Nigeria's Hydrological Services Agency announced that Cameroon was going to release water from Lagdo Dam and that many states along the Rivers Niger and Benue basins would be affected. Information was duly provided but we were in a helpless situation because nobody has deemed it necessary to do anything positive to prevent our foreseeable and forewarned agony. Is it possible to enter into new arrangements with Cameroon? I should think so.
But who will make the effort when we cannot even manage the dams in Nigeria, including the ones developed by domestic River Basin Authorities. Each time, for example, water is released from the Oyan Dam under the Ogun-Osun River Basin Authority, parts of Ogun and Lagos State are submerged. When water is released from the Jebba dam, the whole of that axis from Ilorin to Mokwa is flooded. Before blaming outsiders, we must focus on our own inability as a country to manage the environment or nature. The conflict between man and nature is a major existential challenge and it is indeed at the centre of man's efforts to assert himself or herself as the most wondrous of all creations and master of the cosmos. The trajectory of epistemology has shown man's limitations and a constant reminder that he is, indeed, only a part of the universe and not its master, but in other parts of the world, man's perpetual search for meaning and dominance is the historification of the world. Here in Africa, and many underdeveloped parts, we do not try enough. We blame God for everything. We resign to fate.
But should government continue this way or look the other way, and allow the people to suffer and die? No. It is particularly disturbing that official responses have been cavalier. In Anambra and Kogi States, we have seen the governors – Soludo and Bello – identifying with the people. Most of the other state governors can't be bothered. In one state, a governor and his deputy, who could not be found as floods ravaged communities in the state, were booed this week when they tried to attend a festival, behaving as if nothing happened.
Every year, government agencies tell us that there will be bad weather, heavy rainfall, and floods, but nobody does anything. The rainy season comes, floods everywhere, people die and we just move on. In Jos, Plateau State, at certain moments of the year, the weather could be so cold as if it is winter, but the people never prepare. Nigerian newspapers used to report deaths in Plateau State during the rainy season, just because some of the people will refuse to wear warm clothing! The other year, when there was heavy rainfall in Lagos, people were swimming and hunting for fish on the streets of Victoria Island. Many were more excited about catching fish than the fact that the Atlantic had overflown its banks, and the whole of Lagos Island could be submerged. We treat everything as a joke around here, including the lives of citizens. There are cities around the world that are below the sea level – Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Singapore, Santo Domingo… They are better managed. When floods occur here, what you are likely to hear is that it is time to propitiate the river goddess. Other countries are talking about artificial intelligence, efficient robots and cutting-edge technology, we are still at the level of spirits and goddesses. This primitivity and superstition is the biggest challenge we face. It is in fact worse than climate change.
The third point to be made is that our major problem in Nigeria is negligence. We don't care enough about the environment. We believe the best way to live is to beat, game and cheat the system, and ignore all possible rules for harmonious living. We thrive in the midst of chaos. We revel in disaster. This is why regulations don't work here. Part of our environmental problem is that we build on drainage channels. We dump refuse indiscriminately. We threaten nature with our actions and choices. Government officials collect bribe and look the other way. Basic rules that work elsewhere about building plans and management of the environment do not work here. When nature fights back, we blame everything on witchcraft. The floods before now and this time are a reflection of the way we are.
But should government continue this way or look the other way, and allow the people to suffer and die? No. It is particularly disturbing that official responses have been cavalier. In Anambra and Kogi States, we have seen the governors – Soludo and Bello – identifying with the people. Most of the other state governors can't be bothered. In one state, a governor and his deputy, who could not be found as floods ravaged communities in the state, were booed this week when they tried to attend a festival, behaving as if nothing happened. I am referring to Mohammed Abubakar Badaru of Jigawa State and his deputy, Umar Namadi. Other governors in affected states are too busy with pre-2023 political rallies to even talk about the floods. They obviously consider their political ambitions more important than the people's agony. This is strange. Political leaders must learn to show empathy. They must demonstrate that the people matter.
The starting point is to provide support to all the farmers who have lost their farmlands and crops, and the families and communities that have also lost so much, as was done in 2012. Where it is possible to provide grants, this must be done. Counselling too. And why are the emergency management agencies at both the federal and state levels so silent? To stave off the looming effect of food inflation, the Federal Government should release grains from the National Strategic Grains Reserves in the existing 33 silos, even if the entire reserve is at the depleted level of about 60,000 metric tonnes due to COVID-19 interventions and mismanagement. Above all, we have to engage the Cameroonians in terms of temporary measures that can be agreed upon on the Lagdo Dam issue. At home, we need to revive the River Basin Authorities, and address whatever problems they now pose, contrary to their original design.

Exclusive: Meet Chrissy Taylor, the Next Generation of American Auto Royalty
Valentina Zarya
Christine "Chrissy" Taylor, granddaughter of Enterprise founder Jack Taylor, has been named the company's COO.Courtesy of Enterprise
Chrissy Taylor thrives off of competition.
When she was in the third grade, she beat her entire class—boys and girls—in a chin-up contest, says her father, Andy Taylor. And it wasn't because she was the strongest ("she was just a little thing"), but because she was the most determined.
"She's probably more competitive and has more desire than she has talent," says Andy. "She works for everything." That includes her newest role, executive vice president and chief operating officer of car rental company Enterprise Holdings.
For Andy, the executive chairman of Enterprise, hard work is the highest honor. He himself started working at the age of 16 for Enterprise, which his father, Jack Taylor, founded in 1957. "He would let the phone ring a couple of times to make customers think he was busy," Andy says of the early days of Enterprise. Now, the business has grown into the world's largest car rental company, with 93,000 employees and a fleet of 1.7 million vehicles.
Taylor took the reins in 1994, and as the CEO he worked "prodigiously, flying up to 300 hours annually on business and coming into his St. Louis office on Saturdays when he [was] home," wrote Carol Loomis, Fortune's former editor-at-large, in a 2006 piece about Enterprise.
He often took his children—Chrissy included—to the office with him. "I would bring Chrissy in even when she was in grade school," he recalls. "She absolutely loved it." Now, after nearly two decades at the firm, Chrissy Taylor is the one taking her kids to the office. They, of course, don't realize their mother is one of highest ranking female executives in the global car rental industry, though "it's slowly trickling in," she says. [To read more about powerful women in business, subscribe to Fortune's daily newsletter, the Broadsheet.]
Taylor is also taking her time easing into the new role. "It's important that I spend a lot of time watching, listening, asking before I jump into any decision," she says. "Our team is very tenured. There are several of them that have spent 30 years at the company."
While Taylor hasn't been at the firm for 30 years, she has worked in nearly every aspect of the business, starting as a management trainee in 2000 at a local Enterprise branch, where she did everything from swab down cars to manage inventory. After working for a few years as a branch manager, she transitioned to the corporate side of the company, dipping her toes into everything from fleet management to IT to operations.
After spending two years growing the Enterprise brand in the U.K., Taylor returned to the States to manage the then newly acquired National and Alamo e-commerce businesses. She kept climbing up the company ladder until she became the senior vice president of North American operations in 2013.
As an SVP, Taylor helped grow the luxury rental aspect of the business to more than 30 locations and worked to move the company into urban urban mobility solutions such as car sharing, which has now grown into the second-largest car sharing business in the world.
"We've had a record-breaking three years in all of our divisions," says Enterprise CEO Pam Nicholson, no. 20 on Fortune's list of Most Powerful Women. The company's revenues were $19.4 billion in the year ending July 2015 and are projected to be $20 billion in the year ending July 2016. "Chrissy was a huge part of that in overseeing North America," she says.
While it seems that Chrissy Taylor is being groomed to take on the CEO role after Nicholson, neither she nor her father say that this is the case. "I would love that, but one step at time," she says.

Q: Detecting CSS browser inconsistent rendering by means of JavaScript? I have a input[type="text"] that has padding applied to it and it behaves differently in firefox PC then on a mac.
Can I debug this inconsistency with JavaScript?
Based on the code below, does anyone have any sugestions to resolve my issue?
Firefox on Windows (firebug inspection)
.searchContainer input {
   border-color:#7C7C7C #C3C3C3 #DDDDDD;
   border-style:solid;
   border-width:1px;
   color:#555555;
   float:left;
   height:12px;
   padding:3px;
  }

Firefox on Mac(firebug inspection)
.searchContainer input  {
   border-color:#7C7C7C #C3C3C3 #DDDDDD;
   border-style:solid;
   border-width:1px;
   color:#555555;
   float:left;
   height:12px;
   padding:3px;
 }

No other styles are applied to these inputs.
Any suggestions?

A: You don't seem to be setting a font-size. When you force a height on an input field, you should specify one. It's perfectly conceivable that Macs and PCs have different standard font sizes for input elements.
That said, it's probably better to define the height of the input by setting padding and font-size but no height at all. That way, the browser can handle it easier if the user is using an enlarged font (or the "Text zoom" function in Firefox).

A: Since you're specifying the input's height in pixels, you'll probably also want to specify the font size in pixels.  It looks like platform-specific font rendering may be the culprit here.

A: It looks like it could be an issue with the font size in the input text box (and maybe the buttons, too). Setting the font size (and even the font family) may solve the problem.

A: Check navigator.platform in Javascript.

Your business has become your life because you are passionate about what you do, but as your business grows (a good thing) it's becoming too much of your life (a bad thing.) You're juggling too many plates and too many details. It's taking time away from what you really want to do and what you do best.

You know you could use some back office support but you don't want a full or even a part-time employee because you don't have the space or the equipment for one. You could use an assistant once in a while, even for just a few hours each month. But where do you find one of those?

Similar to scheduling jobs on the shop floor, I need to determine what work needs to get done first, what will take the longest, and what will fit best into the available time.
Every day we face numerous choices. Some are big; some are small. Some affect only ourselves and some may affect many people. We don't always know what the outcome will be from our decisions, and that's often what makes them so difficult. But we know we need to make the decisions, so we do our best and deal with the consequences as they come. For the most part, it's not a big deal. We make adjustments as necessary, and we move forward. This is a process we go through in all aspects of our lives.
The shop environment is no different in this regard. Decisions need to be made from the front office to the shop floor, from personnel to feeds and speeds. What machines will be purchased? How should a job be quoted or scheduled? When is the optimal time to replace an insert?
For many of these decisions, we rely on our training and experience. Along the way, we've learned some general guidelines about what makes a good employee, the time and resources required for certain kinds of jobs, and other significant wisdom that guides us through our decision making. But often our choices are not clear cut enough to be able to rely solely on the application of previous experience. In these cases, we either do further research by talking to others who have faced a similar challenge, or we go with our instincts.
At an early stage in life we learn about trial and error. We need to make use of this learning method when we're young because we have little to no personal experience on which to base our decisions. It can be frustrating at times as we may make the wrong choices quite often, but this is how we gain experience. And the bigger the failure, the more likely we are to learn our lessons.
As adults, we still need to rely on trial and error sometimes. But it's important to remember the lessons we've learned and apply our wisdom as best we can. Decisions I might struggle most with involve prioritization of work projects. Similar to scheduling jobs on the shop floor, I need to determine what work needs to get done first, what will take the longest, and what will fit best into the available time. Shops can take advantage of shop management software to help with this planning. I wish I had such a product to help in my prioritization struggles.
Usually, my experience is enough to guide me into sufficient planning. Many times, though, I feel forced into hasty decisions that may not have been the best. The learning process never ends, though, so I continue to move forward and try to get better at the decision-making process.
As we approach another important election day, many people feel that the selection of our next president presents us with another difficult choice. It's not my job to suggest any particular candidate, but I do think it's worth mentioning the importance of preparation and the need to draw from our own personal experience in this process. As with the entire ballot, we need to be well educated about the candidates and how their positions on the various issues will affect us. Only then can we make a well informed and smart decision about a proper vote. And it's our responsibility to be educated about these candidates and do our part in the placement of our president and other elected officials.
I'm not a great decision maker. Part of me says I'm in no position to be giving advice on such a topic. But I do believe I know what my weaknesses are, and I've certainly learned the hard way what can happen when decisions are not taken seriously. For this year's presidential election, I've done a lot of research, and I've sifted through unbelievable amounts of commentary, biased or not. I think I've kept an open mind and plan to vote for who I believe is the best candidate, as soon as I can figure out who that is.

Please pray I get a fully favorable decision from my disability hearing I went to a few weeks ago. I have not worked in over 3 years and had to file bankruptcy last year. I don't have a husband or kids to help me, just other family members and it has been very, very difficult. Please pray for me and the people who make these decisions. Also pray for other family as they are struggling with needing a job, physical healing, and financial help. Thanks and God bless you!
Prayers for my husband and our family for leniency, chance, peace.

The Lie About the Truck: Survivor, Reality TV, and the Endless Gaze (Hardcover)
By Sallie Tisdale
The author of the acclaimed Advice for Future Corpses (and Those Who Love Them) brings "her singular sensibility, her genius for language, her love of our deeply imperfect world" (Karen Karbo, author of In Praise of Difficult Women) to this insightful exploration of reality TV and the shifting definitions of truth in America.
What is the truth?
In a world of fake news and rampant conspiracy theories, the nature of truth has increasingly blurry borders. In this clever and timely cultural commentary, award-winning author Sallie Tisdale tackles this issue by framing it in a familiar way—reality TV, particularly the long-running CBS show Survivor.
With humor and in-depth superfan analysis, Tisdale explores the distinction between suspended disbelief and true authenticity both in how we watch shows like Survivor, and in how we perceive the world around us. With her "bold and wise, galvanizing and grounding" (Chloe Caldwell, author of I'll Tell You in Person) writing, Tisdale has created an unputdownable, thoroughly entertaining, and groundbreaking book that we will be talking about for years to come.
Sallie Tisdale is the author of several books, including Advice for Future Corpses (and Those Who Love them), Violation, Talk Dirty to Me, Stepping Westward, and Women of the Way. She has received a Pushcart Prize, an NEA Fellowship, the James D. Phelan Literary Award, and was selected for the Shoenfeldt Distinguished Visiting Writer Series. Her work has appeared in Harper's, The New Yorker, The Threepenny Review, The Antioch Review, Conjunctions, and Tricycle. In addition to her award-winning writing career, Tisdale has been a nurse for many years, including a decade in palliative care. She lives in Portland, Oregon. Visit her online at SallieTisdale.com.
"An extensive study of Survivor that argues that reality television as a whole is both a performed reality—by the stars of the show—and a perceived reality by its avid audience… As a breezy roundup of Survivor's melodrama, the book succeeds… Light and diverting."--Library Journal
"A fascinating exploration of the enduring attraction and success of 'the greatest social experiment on television'… What her sharp observations reveal is that parsing truth from perception is a fool's errand… This fascinating study will be like candy for fans of the show and pop culture enthusiasts alike."--Publishers Weekly

Leila Bordreuil is a Brooklyn-based cellist, composer and sound-artist from France. She accesses concepts as diverse as Noise, contemporary classical, free jazz, and experimental traditions but adheres to none of them. Her music mixes deep melancholia with harsh noise-walls at ear-bleeding levels, and was described by the New York Times as "steadily scathing music, favoring long and corrosive atonalities".
Driven by a fierce interest in pure sound and inherent texture, Leila challenges conventional cello practice through extreme extended techniques and unorthodox amplification methods, to the extent she sometimes seems to be playing the P.A system rather than the cello. Her compositions frequently incorporate sound-spatialization by way of site-specific pieces and multichannel installations, and focus on neurological perception and our physiological relationship to sound and space.
The name drop:
Leila is a dedicated improviser and "rising figure in New York's improvised music scene" (The Chicago Reader).
As per the tradition of improvised music, she has maintained a very active concert schedule sharing the stage with a wide range of artists including Marina Rosenfeld, Lee Ranaldo, Eli Keszler, Anthony Coleman, Peter Evans, Thurston Moore, Nate Wooley, SENYAWA, C.

Q: How to avoid import class and implement protocol? One ViewController class already imported the UIView class into it.
Now when implementing the protocol into same class.
Here @protocol class in already imported WeeklyView Class.
Now in Weekly View I got scenario to implement the @protocol method.
So i need import PlanViewController into there.
It looks like classA import ClassB and ClassB import ClassA that is wrong.
How to avoid this behaviour in this case? and implement the protocol.
// ViewController class
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import "WeeklyView.h"
@protocol PlanViewControllerDelegate <NSObject>
@optional
-(void)nextWeekGlanceCategory :(NSString *)startweekDate endWeekDate:(NSString *)endWeekDate;
@end

// Another class Weeklyview
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import "PlanViewController.h"
@interface WeeklyView : UIView <UITableViewDelegate,UITableViewDataSource,PlanViewControllerDelegate>

A: Just put your protocol in separate header file.
To create protocol header file you can pick it like this:
File->New->Objective-c File->Protocol.

Togzhan-2
posted on February 5, 2014 by Janet Givens

Togzhan was the only woman I'd meet in Zhezkazgan whose refrigerator stood in the kitchen. I took that as a sign of prosperity.
Usually refrigerators were in the living room. When Woody and I moved into our own apartment, the refrigerator that came with it was in the bedroom!
But I digress. This is a post about Togzhan. It's actually my second post about Togzhan. the first one went live May 15, 2013. I hope you'll go back and catch that one too.
Togzhan
Educated as an English teacher, Togzhan had stayed in school to get an additional degree in finance. Now, she'd say she "stayed at the university," for "school" has a very specific connotation and no one over 14 attends one. But old habits die hard.
When she graduated, she took a job in the finance department of Kazakhmys, the copper company and the town's major employer.
The first time I'd gone to her apartment had been to try to get some sponsorship money from the huge copper company for my movie night project. Togzhan had listened politely, asked a few questions, and then served me tea while she told me clearly that Kazakhmys would never give money away. Corporate sponsorships had not yet come to Kazakhstan.
On another occasion, I found her helpful in explaining how the tenge had been introduced into Kazakhstan, not quite two years after independence.
Orchestrated personally by President Nazarbayev, the public announcement came on a Friday night after the banks had closed.
The newly printed and minted tenge were flown into the country from some secret location in England over the weekend and at 8 a.m. Monday morning, the tenge replaced the Russian ruble, at one tenge to 500 Russian rubles, rendering, overnight, everyone's rubles worthless.
"All very quiet," Togzhan had said. "He was very smart."
I spent much time with Togzhan and her pre-teen daughter Assema over the next eighteen months. It appeared she was divorced but "What happened?" was not a question I felt comfortable asking in a country where polygyny (multiple wives) was on the rise. I knew only that her daughter's father lived in Almaty — I'd seen pictures in the family album — and Assema visited him often.
Togzhan and Assema, 2005
I've lost track of Togzhan in the ten years since I went to Kazakhstan. But I've heard that she's now remarried, has moved to Astana, the capital, and has a new young son. I wish her well. Assema, her daughter, must be in her twenties now. I hope she'll write me.
With whom have you lost touch over the years?
What are some signs of prosperity that you use?

You are making gold from what landed on the "cutting floor." Good for you, Janet. About whom I've lost touch with–some of my under-graduate friends: however, my college reunion this past October restored contact with a few of them, a good thing.
Thanks Marian. I so appreciate your consistency. Wondering if your recent reunion was facilitated my the Internet? I ask because I was able to have a first high school reunion just a few years ago, and all because of FB. All these deleted scenes: I think it just emphasizes the importance of just getting "it all down" in the first draft. If course much of if ring stay. But is not have these scenes if I'd tried to write from an outline, or tuned in to that indefatigable "narrative arc." That first draft can often be the most fun to write. So glad you popped in.

Park Hyatt Washington will host Park Hyatt Masters of Food & Wine, a seasonal culinary experience on Sunday, June 24, saluting the tastes, flavors and ingredients of local chefs and artisans.
Celebrate the start of summer with an early-morning harvest breakfast on Blue Duck Tavern's spacious terrace. Gathered around the restaurant's communal wood table, participants will enjoy an assortment of regional ingredients such as hand-harvested Amish eggs from Path Valley, Pennsylvania; dairy products from Trickling Springs Creamery, a Mennonite Source in Pennsylvania; and artisan cheese from Everona Dairy in Virginia. Additionally, guests will be treated to Executive Chef Sebastien Archambault & Chef de Cuisine John Melfi's new arrivals on the breakfast menu, including Short Rib Hash and Horseradish Sauce; and Fried Chicken with Poached Eggs, Grits and Sweet Pepper Relish.
After breakfast, the group will walk a few blocks to the bustling Dupont Circle FRESHFARM Market to watch Chefs Sebastien & John create a Chilled Cucumber and Crab Meat Soup; and Heirloom Tomato Tartar using farm-fresh goat cheese and basil sorbet, sourced directly from the Market. Following the Chef at Market demo, Bernie Prince, co-founder of FRESHFARM Markets will lead the group on a tour of the Dupont Circle Market, providing guests with the opportunity to interact with the local artisans and to purchase locally-produced vegetables, fruit, baked bread and seafood.
Tickets are priced at $55, inclusive of tax and gratuity. For more information, please call +1 202 419 6768, email masters.phwashington@hyatt.com or visit www.mastersfoodandwine.com.
On Saturday, March 24, as part of the Park Hyatt Masters of Food & Wine, participants joined Pastry Chef Peter Brett for an intimate cooking class gathered inside our Pastry Pantry. The group worked with Chef Peter to prepare a Spring Rhubarb Tart with Almond Crumble and Cherry Blossom Sorbet.
We are delighted to share that our colleague and friend, Peter Brett is nominated for 'Pastry Chef of the Year' by the Restaurant Association of Metropolitan Washington! The 'RAMMY' Awards (known as the Oscars of Washington) recognize the best and brightest in the region's restaurant industry.
Other pastry chef nominees include: Cicely Austin (The Oval Room), Fabrice Bendano (Adour), Alison Reed (Ripple), and Susan Wallace (BlackSalt). The winner will be announced at the 2012 RAMMY Awards Gala on Sunday, June 24.
We'll be anxiously awaiting to hear the winner! In the meantime, stop by the Pastry Pantry to congratulate Peter! We are all so proud of his creative talents and passion, shown everyday at Blue Duck Tavern!
We look forward to welcoming Tealeaves' Master Tea Blender Garret Chan at tomorrow's Masters of Food & Wine, 'The Ritual of Tea' class. Lovers of tea will gain new perspective into the art of making and blending a pot of tea after spending the afternoon with Garret.
Gathered inside Park Hyatt Washington's intimate Tea Cellar, participants will learn from Garret how to educate the palate to understand the true quality of tea. Additionally, Garret will explain the artisan process of blending to "improve" a beverage; the role tea gardens play in quality; and decipher if certified organic teas and botanicals taste as just as good as the ingredients in the actual teas.
To the tea masters, blending is passion in its purest form, strong and intense yet natural and relentless. To blend tea, one must start from basic principles - to have a deep sense of purpose through the connection with the raw ingredients of tea. Blenders have a deep understanding and appreciation of the origin, culture, intricacies and nuances of each varietal.
Tealeaves' team of tea masters create unique blends that instantly stand out from traditional blends - centuries old. Some describe their blenders as eccentric; others describe them as uncompromising visionaries.
Chefs Sebastien Archambault, John Melfi & Peter Brett invite you to join them for a farm-fresh Easter Brunch on Sunday, April 8 from 10:30 am to 3:30 pm.
Celebrate and gather with friends and family while enjoying a three-course, market-fresh menu.

Hightlights off the brunch menu include: Baked Hen Eggs with Duck Confit Hash and Smoked Chili Emulsion (Path Valley, PA); Spring Green Vegetable Risotto with Shaved Parmesan and Arugua (Anson Mills, SC); Veal Paillard with Heirloom Carrots, Sweet Peas, and Morel Mushroom Gravy (Shenandoah Valley, VA); Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes with Coral Aioli (Bayou La Batre, AL); Local Spring Asparagus with Parmesan Cheese, Black Garlic, and Country Ham (Path Valley, PA); Heirloom Grits with Smoked Gouda Cheese and Red Eye Gravy (Anson Mills, SC); Ricotta Cheesecake with Brandied Cherries; Vanilla Bean Custard in Egg Cups; Raspberry Gelee with Mint Syrup; and Pears Poached in Prosecco.

Tax planning for the future - what changes do you need to make?
On behalf of Prince Law Firm posted in Trusts on Wednesday, February 13, 2013.
Our Michigan readers who are familiar with previous posts here know that when it comes to protecting inheritance, there are numerous options available. Whether the primary goal is tax planning to pay the minimum amount necessary, or to make absolutely positive a designated beneficiary receives exactly what the estate planner wants them to receive, trusts can be one of the best options. However, our readers are probably also familiar with the fact that the United States Congress recently passed some new tax laws. In light of those changes, how are trusts going to be affected?
According to a recent article, trusts may be used less often. The primary reason? The federal estate tax exemption. Many trusts, whether a revocable trust or irrevocable trust, are implemented to avoid taxes for as long as possible, or to avoid taxes all together. With the federal estate tax exemption set at $10.5 million for married couples, or $5.25 million for a single individual, many people, even some of the most wealthy, will have estate values that come in under this total. When that happens, no federal estate tax would be owed, only state level estate taxes would be a concern. Anything over that, however, would be taxed at a 40 percent rate at the federal level.
Although the use of trusts will most likely continue, the exact goals behind the implementation of a trust may need to be reconsidered. And, for those who have already established a trust, a review of the goals and needs of the trust might be prudent.
There are thousands of different configurations for a sound, comprehensive estate plan. Many will include trusts, some will not. However, one thing is certain: tax laws will have an impact across the board on what the best plan is for the situation.


I watched the little boy and his family during mass this evening. I know his mother. The boy is her third child, the first and only boy, probably a boy longed for by the father who held him during the entire service, who kissed the boy's soft cheeks with aching tenderness.
The child has Down Syndrome. The kisses were saying: I love you. I love you in spite of, because of, no matter what. I love you for the world to see. They were the perfect kisses, whole, real, infinite.
He walks on his toes. He can't sit still. His almond shaped eyes are light blue, hair surfer blond. He is maybe four years old, possibly five. His tennis shoes were decorated with Spider Man.
I compared him to my own son, now seven. My son is handsome, dark hair and Hershey's Kiss eyes. He is funny, affectionate, adorable.
He has trouble sitting still, staying on task, understanding language. He has the social skills of a three year old, gets stuck on ideas and movie scripts. He may never live independently, have a job, drive a car, marry or vote.
I kiss him a lot, an inordinate number of times each day. I kiss him in an almost desperate way, breathing in his cookie smell, the sweet of his doughy cheeks. I kiss him to disappear from my world, to enter his. I kiss him to seal the moment, a perfect eternity.
The other mother and I were disappointed when we learned that our sons weren't the sons we'd hoped for, expected. Was it wrong to expect a healthy child? Her third, my fourth. We'd only known success, healthy, the usual. We took these things for granted, believed that nature only screws up other people's kids, not ours. We were special, different, protected. Our lives were lucky, cocooned.
Tonight, with my eyes half focusing on the alter and two priests, one with a cane, I saw a glimpse of my future. My son was in his early twenties, strong, maybe a little too strong. I was Medicare age, not so strong, still caring for the son who wasn't the son I'd hoped for, expected.
Some days, this image doesn't scare me. I love him. We'll be okay.
Other times, the image is too terrifying, like tonight. I didn't want to look at it, so I refocused my eyes, stared at the slain Jesus, the priest barely able to walk, his blood red vestment and stole, the white alter approached with reverence where the ordained solemnly bow and kiss the clean white linens.
They have a ritual. I have a ritual. We have days, which begin and end about the same. We wake up, every day, and live. I feed my son, literally and figuratively, walk beside him in a world made for others, not the disabled. He is different. I've heard all the sugary words, the platitudes meant to comfort. Platitudes don't work, except when they're true, on good days, when I believe that his differences make him special, special in a good way, not the ways the world laughs at, points and stares at, and I struggle to stay here, where the good things are true, on the bright side.
I'm a better person, mother, human, because of him. I've made more friends, real friends, living in Autism World. I can write from the bottom of despair, parental despair, write my way from bottom to top. I can make another mother of a disabled child smile, because it's not over, even if it's not the adventure she'd hoped for, expected. I'm right there beside her, and we'll find ways to laugh at the absurd, to squeeze our strange outlier lives into a new Spanks-like normal. We can have normal, just different.
But still, I sometimes feel disappointed when I remember what might have been, when I forget how much I love him, when I compare; when I focus on the cane and not the human, on the white and not the alter, on the cross and not the kiss.

Just wanted to share this article on how to increase your speed of Windows 7 guests on Xen.
Not sure if this works on other Windows guest like Windows 2008 server etc.
Interesting indeed.... will have a test to see what this will do on our Xen environments.
It's interesting to see the suggestion is to disable the USB Root HUB at Windows level instead of disabling USB support within the VM's/domU configuration.

SLED Investigating Rash Of Officer-Involved Shootings In South Carolina
Agency responding to five incidents within the last two weeks ..
Agents of the South Carolina State Law Enforcement Division (SLED) have found themselves busy investigating a recent rash of officer-involved shootings across the Palmetto State. Within the last two weeks, there have been five such incidents in South Carolina – in Aiken, Lexington, Marion, Richland and York counties.
Thankfully, as of this writing there have been no fatalities associated with any of the recent shootings. In fact in all but one of the incidents, both officers and suspects were either uninjured or sustained non-life threatening injuries.
All told, there have been 33 officer-involved shootings in South Carolina through the first 256 days of the year – putting the state on a potentially record-breaking pace as it approaches the end of summer.
SLED investigates officer-involved shootings as a matter of protocol in the vast majority of local law enforcement jurisdictions in the Palmetto State – presenting investigative reports to the solicitor with jurisdiction over the county or municipality where the shooting transpired.
At that point, the solicitor makes a determination as to whether the officer(s) involved acted properly in discharging their weapons.
SLED also arrests suspects in connection with officer-involved shootings – as it did in the Richland county shooting that took place on the campus of Allen University on Saturday. This adds another layer of independence to the investigatory process. Again, the ultimate decision as to whether to charge suspects in connection with officer-involved shootings resides with the local solicitor (whose decisions are subject to oversight by the office of the S.C. attorney general).
This news outlet has covered dozens of officer-involved shootings over the years, but each one of these incidents is under a microscope (and rightfully so) in the aftermath of the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota on Memorial Day.
That tragic incident – which sparked spasms of mob violence across the nation – has prompted a discussion in South Carolina over possible reforms to law enforcement procedures. We support such a conversation, and we believe the Palmetto State's law enforcement advocates have been honest brokers in that process – proposing any number of substantive reforms.
In the meantime, SLED has consistently drawn high marks for the professionalism, objectivity and accuracy it brings to these inquiries.
Legislation aimed at formalizing SLED's statewide role in investigating officer-involved shootings was introduced last year by S.C. senator Gerald Malloy, however Richland County, S.C. sheriff Leon Lott – one of the only local law enforcement leaders whose agency investigates its own officer-involved shootings – has organized resistance to the bill.
Hopefully this resistance will falter, as we believe this is one of the keys to the reform conversation currently taking place at the S.C. State House.
For those of you following the numbers, there were a total of 45 officer-involved shootings in South Carolina last year – four shy of the record of 49 set in 2017. As of this writing, the state is on pace to see 47 officer-involved shootings in 2020.

Rachel Zucker is the author of seven books, most recently, Home/Birth: a poemic (co-written with Arielle Greenberg) and Museum of Accidents. She lives in New York with her husband and their three sons. Currently she teaches at New York University and is studying to become a childbirth educator.
I started writing poetry in fifth grade. I had an amazing teacher, Mr. Sandomir, who gave us a poetry project that was pretty self-motivated and involved listening to Simon and Garfunkel with the lights off. It was a difficult time for me--my parents were splitting up and my grandmother died not to mention that I was a 12 year old girl--and poetry was a kind of haven. I'm not sure things have changed very much since then. I write about what I care about. I write because I feel the need.
I recently reread Midwinter Day by Bernadette Mayer. She is so fantastic. Totally blew me away again. Have you read her? Have you read that book? I highly recommend it. I'm going to reread The Desires of Mothers to Please Others in Letters next!
I wanted children for as long as I can remember. It was a very strong desire--physical, emotional--a need. I had my first child at 27, which is young by NY standards. My kids are 12 1/2, 11 and 4 1/2. It's a big spread. It's often chaotic. Someone always seems miserable. Someone is almost always laughing.
I have a hard time talking about my process except when I'm in the middle of something. I don't mean to be coy, I just can't see it, I have no perspective. Often I jot down notes. I try to write down my dreams. I read. Sometimes poems come out in spurts. Essays take FOREVER. Prose is difficult. Writing is difficult. I felt more committed when I had children. The thing that has really changed (for the worse in terms of my writing) is that three years ago my husband began to teach high school English. I find it very difficult to be a writer, a professor, the mother of three children and the wife of a high school teacher. The balance has shifted quite radically.
Well, I write about my family all the time. And, they limit my writing time. Really, my husband's job is the main problem.
Do you find your attitude towards your art might be different because of your parenting / has it changed since you became a parent?
No, not really. I'm a very stubborn person.
Often. Read any of my books.
Not sure exactly what you mean by promoting the arts? I love to give my kids great books, graphic novels, etc. I now let my oldest son pick out my music for me. I have taken my older boys to readings. My youngest is a real ham and talks all the time and couldn't sit through a reading.
I just went away to my stepmother's weekend home for three nights and three days. It was bliss. I almost always go to AWP and away for a few 2-4 day trips a year. It's not easy on me or the kids or my husband but he is totally capable of taking care of things and it's very important for me to be away from them from time to time. It is difficult to coparent all the time and I end up doing way more than 50%. My husband supports my trips, encourages them (although doesn't always enjoy them). I'm very grateful to him for his support. He can be a pain in the neck but he really does support me in almost every way he can. I am constantly struggling to carve out time within my normal routine without having to GO AWAY. This is very difficult for me and I'm not succeeding at it very well lately. My happiest days in the past year were my week of jury duty. I'm not kidding. Five days of not being on call for my family -- I knew something isn't right when I almost started crying when jury duty was over.
Do whatever you need to do to stay sane. Do a good enough job and forgive yourself as much as possible. It sounds trite but more and more and more I believe in "happy mother, happy family." I'm not living that right this moment but I recognize that as my goal.

Q: Place HTML in a Rails Helper So i have an input for a simple_form like this:
<%= f.input :preferred_locale, collection: languages_available, label: "Choose Language", selected: current_user.preferred_locale, include_blank: false %>

So this creates a dropdown with languages available in the project. Languages available is an array like this, placed in a rails helper (extension .rb, only ruby, file):
def languages_available
    [
      ["English", 'en'],
      ["Spanish", 'es'],
    ]
end

The thing is want to display an icon right next to the language displaying the country flag. Thing is, in helpers you cant write html. No problem, i know the existence of html_safe, so in the collection i did something like:
<%= f.input :preferred_locale, collection: languages_available.map { |e| e.map(&:html_safe) }, label: "Choose Language", selected: current_user.preferred_locale,include_blank: false %>

So this marks as html_Safe every substring. With this i never see anything, and i am trying something as simple as putting in the array
def languages_available
    [
      ["<b>English</b>", 'en'],
      ["Spanish", 'es'],
    ]
end

the thing is something is working since i only see "English" and not "< b> English < /b>" as plaint text,  but im not seeing the word in bold font so i dont know whats wrong.
edit: thank you for the answers, seems like in collection, which generates a select tag, is not possible to  use html since it only supports text, i'll have to find another way of accomplishing this.

A: I don't think that you can do it in Html, options are not customizable, but maybe u can use a list, and with css and/or js customize to do a dropdown, I know that exist a lot of libraries to do it.
Here you have an example: https://www.w3schools.com/css/tryit.asp?filename=trycss_dropdown_button
Another thing maybe is use emojis with the flags, I never tried but maybe you can put it plain text and with some library automatically convert it to an emoji.
