These students assisted us and always made me comfortable. I learned from them in a few short days.
A president, vice president and an ambassador
The dateline should really be Dakar, Senegal as I am home but still taking it all in. I went to Senegal on a five-day trip and had one of the most incredible experiences as a journalist thanks to friends and colleagues.
This is just the second step of a long trip – my life – in trying to understand the globe and specifically Africa. Yup, I have been overseas but this is different.
Last time I wrote a travel piece about the World Festival of Black Arts and Culture in December 2010. I tried to give it a little heft. Today, I am thinking about more of an essay style because the more I learn, the more complicated it is.
In these short days, I shook the hand of a president, interviewed the Vice President of Colombia and the U.S. Ambassador to Senegal. Amazing.
Colombia's Vice President Angelino Garzon
DAKAR, Senegal – Interesting morning spent with a few journalists and the Vice President of Colombia, Angelino Garzon. He granted us a 45-minute interview through the efforts of Miami Herald World Editor John Yearwood who is responsible for assisting journalists attending the 2011 World Conference of Mayors here in Dakar.
Garzon spoke, through an interpreter, about the common goals of human rights, the fight against HIV/AIDS and discrimination against people of African descent.
One topic we did not address – the war on drugs.
Garzon was a charming ambassador for his country. His own record was one of working within workers' unions for the last 20 years.
He had his own goals for attendance at the conference – seeking the leadership post of the ILO. He wants the support of President Obama and the Prime Minister of Canada, after receiving support here from Senegal's President Wade. See the definition below from Wikipedia –
The International Labour Organization (ILO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations that deals with labour issues pertaining to international labour standards. Its headquarters are in Geneva, Switzerland. Its secretariat — the people who are employed by it throughout the world — is known as the International Labour Office. The organization received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1969.[1]
The Conference Convenes in Senegal
DAKAR, Senegal (Dec. 15) – Today the World Summit of Mayors convened, bringing together mayors from the United States and across the world with the goal of meeting the initiatives of the African Renaissance.
The meeting at the Le Meridien President Hotel came almost one year to the anniversary of the World Festival of Black Arts and Culture. The sessions bring members of the National Conference of Black Mayors together with city representatives from Africa, the Caribbean and Latin America.
The Summit is hosted by President Abdoulaye Wade of Senegal. He also facilitated the signing in June of an agreement between 12 African-American and 12 Senegalese mayors for twinning cities and to include other partners to create linkages to the Diaspora.
The conference has four dimensions – education, culture, Pan African intellectuals and mayors and municipalities. These groups are led respectively by Professor Leonard Jeffries of City University of New York, actor Richard Gant of Los Angeles, Dr. Julius Garvey, son of Marcus Garvey, and Robert Bowser, president of the National Conference of Black Mayors.
Opening ceremonies were held Thursday and were to be followed by a reception at the palace of Wade. However, the reception was cancelled because of a death in the family of a high-ranking official.
The Friday agenda includes discussions on decentralized cooperation, followed by tours of Goree Island with its Door of No Return on Sunday with a trip to the African Renaissance Monument, and sessions with a focus on education scheduled for Monday.

Black Mayors to Convene Historic Dialogue in West Africa
I will be traveling to Senegal this week. Please read the news release below (excuse typos from conversion):
New York, Dec. 13, 2011 — More than 30 prominent African-American mayors are travelling this week to Senegal, West Africa, to convene a four-day historic dialogue with more than 200 black mayors from around the world.
The 2011 World Summit of Mayors Leadership Conference will take place from Dec. 15-19 inDakar,Senegal. His Excellency Maître Abdoulaye Wade, President of the Republic of Senegal, will host the conference, which is co-organized by the National Conference of Black Mayors (NCBM), the National Association of Senegalese Mayors (AMS), and the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS).
"The foundational belief of the summit is that unified work on the development challenges facing cities on the global landscape is essential to the improvement of the wellbeing of all citizens in urban areas,'' said Mayor Robert L. Bowser of East Orange, New Jersey, President of the NCBM.
Topics of discussion over the four-day meeting will include good governance, trade, tourism, twinning of cities, economic development, the response to AIDS, education, and media.
Political leaders and high-ranking government officials also will converge onDakarfrom throughout Africa, Latin America, and theCaribbean. High-level speakers at theSummitwill include Garry Conille, Prime Minister of Haiti, Hubert Alexander Ingraham, Prime Minister of theBahamas, Angelino Garzon, Vice-President of Colombia, and Reta Jo Lewis, the U.S. State Department's Special Representative for Global Inter-governmental Affairs.
Mayor Bowser will lead theU.S.delegation of mayors, which will serve as representatives on behalf of the 658 black mayors that are members of the organization. Among majorU.S.cities that will be represented at theSummitwill beWashington,D.C.,Atlanta,Sacramento,Las VegasandTallahassee. Mayors will represent both urban and rural communities. Also participating will beNorth MiamiandTuskegee.
"This and other initiatives help to accelerate progress toward the achievement of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) by 2015, using the response to HIV/AIDS as an entry point,'' said Dr. Djibril Diallo, Senior Advisor to the Executive Director of UNAIDS. "This will bring the UNAIDS vision of "3 Zeros" into sharper focus: Zero new HIV infections, Zero Discrimination, and Zero AIDS-related deaths."
"The U.S. African Renaissance and African Diaspora Network, a New York-based initiative that promotes sustainable human development, helped facilitate theSummit," noted Dr. Diallo, who coordinates the Network.
"The primary focus is restoring, strengthening and uplifting working relationships and collaborations among the various participating leaders, many of whom represent untapped resources and communities throughout the Diaspora,'' said Vanessa R. Williams, Executive Director of NCBM.
Plans for the summit began to take shape a year ago when prominent African-American leaders attended the World Festival of Black Arts and Cultures inDakar. During the Festival, President Wade designated African-American leaders as Goodwill Ambassadors for the African Renaissance and called for the creation of partnerships between organizations in the Diaspora andAfrica.
As a follow-up, severalU.S.organizations and Senegalese counterparts — including mayors, university presidents, and artists and intellectuals — signed cooperation agreements last June. The results of the partnerships were presented to theSummitof heads of State and government of the African Union, the pan-African political body, in January 2011 inAddis Ababa,Ethiopia, and last July inMalabo,Equatorial Guinea.

Christmas in Virginia Beach
Loving it down here. Great service, cool people
Today I re-launched my blog as the entry point to all of my journalistic efforts that focus on entertainment, film, sports and world travel. The title is the inspiration of my daughter who's had a front-row seat to my work. My traveling nature is inspired by my father, John W. Childress III, a physicist who made his last overseas trip to Bejing, China, where he heard the news they had just received the Olympics. My movie passion began with my Mom, Dr. Odile Claude, who encouraged me to watch old Elvis films on Sunday afternoons and other flicks. She gave a mean rendition of "Bali Hai" from South Pacific. And I was born in Hollywood and raised on the Lakers. This blog is where all of this love merges.

Q: Tag . Ao carregar uma imagem do banco ela aparece deitada Algumas fotos que são carregadas do banco em minha tag <img> aparecem deitadas (landscape), mas quando abro a imagem do PC ela está correta na posição vertical.
Essa é a parte que recebe a imagem.
HTML

<img
    src="<?php echo $caminhoFotoEditaUsuario; ?>"
    class="img-thumbnail imagem-grupo-cadastro"
    id="fotoUsuario"
    name="fotoUsuario"
>

CSS
.imagem-grupo-cadastro{
    width :140px;
    height : 140px;
    float: left;
    margin-top: 15px;
}

A: Normalmente a foto foi tirada "deitada", e a orientação correta marcada na tag orientation do EXIF.
O problema é que a foto realmente é gravada "deitada" dependendo do dispositivo (mais comumente celulares e tablets), e apenas é "anotado" na referida Tag qual é a orientação correta.
A consequência é o que você percebeu na sua aplicação. Em certos visualizadores, a imagem aparece na orientação correta, porém, dependendo navegador vai aparecer "deitada", pois a tag EXIF é ignorada em certas situações, e em outras não.
A solução é abrir as images em alguma aplicação gráfica, e corrigir a posição. Preferencialmente eliminando a orientação do EXIF, para não causar mais ambiguidades.
Esta é uma imagem que tem orientação EXIF. Clique nela para visualizar fora do <img>, e teste em mais de um browser:

Um bom teste é salvar no PC e conferir as miniaturas, e abrir em softwares diferentes, para ver como é inconsistente o comportamento da tag.

*

*No IE11, por exemplo, aparece sempre deitada.

*No Opera 34 aparece deitada na postagem, mas em aba separada aparece em pé. Já no Opera12, aparece deitada em qualquer situação.

*No visualizador do Windows 7 e nas miniaturas, aparece deitada.

*Essa mesma foto que foi salva no Windows 7 e está aparecendo deitada, ao abrir com o Photoshop CS6 aparece em pé.

A: Experimente remover o height:
.imagem-grupo-cadastro{
    width :140px;
    float: left;
    margin-top: 15px;
}

A: Como já foi sugerido, provavelmente a foto está realmente deitada.
Caso seja um problema com todas as imagens, é muito provável que o script que está enviando as imagens esteja enviando-as de forma incorreta.
Uma forma de resolver seu problema seria utilizando o css-transform, com rotate:
.imagem-grupo-cadastro {
    transform: rotate(xdeg);
}

Onde x é a quantidade de graus, que no seu caso seria 90 ou -90, dependendo para qual lado a sua imagem foi rotacionada.
Lembre-se também de usar as variantes -ms-transform e -webkit-transform.
Mas deixo bem claro que isso seria mais uma "gambiarra" para resolver seu problema, caso seja urgente. O ideal seria saber o motivo de sua imagem ter sido carregada de forma errada.

To say it's an interesting time for IT professionals is an understatement to say the least. Everywhere you look mobile is taking over. From students to doctors everyone is using smartphones, tablets, laptops and even wearable tech to access your enterprise wireless networks. For most of us this has been a fantastic advancement, for others such as IT leaders and professionals this has created more than a few headaches, namely from increased user demands and network security risks.
New mobile devices aren't the only things challenging your IT teams; with them has come a flood of new data-hogging applications like streaming video and music services. These new applications place an incredible strain on enterprise level networks from both a performance and security standpoint.
Suggested Reading - "Unique Answer to Solving Your Wi-Fi Performance Problems For Good"
Combine the above with outdated networks and disparate policies for both wired and wireless network access and you get the perfect recipe for frustration, decreased productivity and basically all around network disaster.
So what's the answer to meet your users increasing demands and provide both you and them with the right amount of security?
What a lot of people don't realize is that even though mobile is the growing focus we still have wired networks (usually outdated) to deal with. This is why the need for unified or converged networks has become a main priority.
By creating one unified campus-wide network and implementing it with a central management system that provides network access control you will be able to push your services out at the edge and ultimately create better security and scalability for your network.
We've put together a short-list of four of the most important advantages that you can expect to benefit from when creating a unified network.
One of the most noticeable benefits is having a central point of command over your entire enterprise wireless network. It's a fact that mobile creates a tremendous problem for IT leaders when it comes to visibility. However, the right unified network equipped with Wi-Fi management software can give you dynamic reporting and troubleshooting to offer you real-time network optimization analytics.
This is pretty straightforward; by deploying a unified network you will have created a simpler more efficient network by implementing an infrastructure that eliminates the need for disparate wired and wireless networks and their accompanying security policies.
The proliferation of mobile devices is not only the catalyst for unified strategies but is also showing no signs of slowing down. New devices are coming out and onto enterprise networks seemingly every day. Utilizing a unified network with SDN (Software-Defined Networking), IT leaders can grow with new technology instead of trying to catch up.
With a centrally managed network comes many things, but the one thing that you might enjoy the most is how much money it will save you. With a more efficient network you'll cut costs normally associated with exhaustive, traditional network management and painstaking troubleshooting. As a result of better performance and less down-time everyone accessing your network will benefit from great productivity.
The third way you'll cut costs is with the ability to adapt with your changing environment. Whether it's new technology, more users or more devices your network will have the ability to scale and grow as you do.
As our schools, hospitals, hotels, retail stores, and even manufacturing industries become more dependent upon wireless and mobile devices the goal for our IT leaders are to create more efficient unified networks that will provide everyone with secure and reliable mobility.


The Meadville City Building hosted a meeting of local minds Friday, as ideas of how to move Meadville forward and strengthen the local economy led to some constructive suggestions.
Autumn Vogel coordinated the meeting as part of the Year of Meadville's "Our Local Economy" programming. The meeting was attended by members of Meadville City Council, Crawford county Commissioners, the Crawford County Planning Commission, the Meadville-Western Crawford County Chamber of Commerce, the Redevelopment Authority of the City of Meadville and members of local organizations. Vogel, Year of Meadville organizer, introduced the group to Stacy Mitchell, co-director for the Institute for Local Self-Reliance. Mitchell is based out of Portland, Maine, with the 42-year-old business.
"I do research about independent business and community banking," she said. "We find out what's working in different communities and use that information to help others grow."In the past few years I have seen an increase in communities starting local initiatives," Mitchell said. "The initiatives have led to an increase in job growth, income and civic growth."
Meadville City Council member Sean Donahue said he knows of people who are interested in starting a new business, but they find it difficult to borrow small amounts.
Redevelopment Authority board member Tom Cholak told the group there are funding sources available to help small businesses get started, but he sees a need to increase the publicity of what is out there for what he called "viable entrepreneurs."

It is a match between two even opponents, both sides are extremely motivated for the match. We think that opponents will try to break the opponent and it will bring the intensity in the middle of the pitch and a low number of goal opportunities, opponents are not looking so good on the offense.
Our prediction - total under 2 goals

Please click and watch the video below to learn an in-depth explanation of a potential root cause of hormone problems and weight-loss resistance and how True Cellular Detox™ offers the support you may need.
Weight loss resistance and hormone problems are epidemic today. A potential root of cause of these challenges is cellular inflammation caused by toxins, a key concept to understand, as it is the answer to why so many people do not feel well today. To explain, receptors sites reside on the cell membrane that allow our cells to communicate with one another. However, toxins can blunt these cellular receptors blocking proper cellular communication. When cells can't communicate due to toxin induced cellular inflammation, you don't feel well, and the stage is set for disease to occur.
Many health practitioners today simply provide their clients more hormones to help them feel better. To understand, we can use the analogy of yelling at your kids. When you first yell at your kids, they typically listen (as in the case of giving more hormones); however, over time as you continue to yell (and give hormones) the kids listen less and less (and cells become less sensitive to hormones being given). Giving more hormones is clearly not a long-term answer or folks taking the extra hormones would be lean, clear-minded and full of energy. When cell receptors are blunted by toxins and inflamed, it doesn't matter how many hormones are given, the cells can't process messages (like when to to burn fat, for example), and you STILL don't fell well and can't lose weight, regardless of diet and exercise.
The true avenue to support the correction of hormone problems lies in fixing the cell; but before we can fix the cell we must support the DETOX of the cell by decreasing body-wide inflammation. The True Cellular Detox™ program teaches you how to decrease cellular inflammation as well as provides the keys to true detox, both of which are needed to achieve hormone balance and lasting weight-loss. Weight loss resistance and hormone problems can be an issue of cellular toxicity and good health cannot be achieved until cells are properly detoxed and systemic inflammation is decreased. Remember, the cell is where the magic happens and when you implement the anti-inflammatory lifestyle strategies you'll learn in this program, along with true detox, you can achieve your best health.

cation or elaborative feedback to individual students or groups of students immediately after a test. Students will, when they still remember the questions in the test, learn why the correct answer is correct and why the other ones are incorrect. Thus, mobile technology provides new assessment and testing criteria for education and training.
Feedback on performance just after an assessment enables students to restructure their understanding/skills. They may immediately build more powerful ideas and capabilities. Peer learning assessment aids learning by generating feedback information that is of benefit for students, as well as for teachers. During the learning process, the assessment system immediately recognizes and responds to students learning in order to enhance that learning.

Q: If $\sqrt[3]{2}+\omega\in \Bbb{K}$, prove that $\sqrt[3]{2}\in \Bbb{K}$
Let $K=\Bbb{Q}(\sqrt[3]{2}+\omega)$ be a field extension of $\Bbb{Q}$ where $\omega$ is a root of $x^2+x+1$. Prove that $\sqrt[3]{2}\in K$

How do I prove this? I am at a loss. I did it by a very long method, involving solving for coefficients. I'm sure there is a better way.
My strategy: I calculated $(\sqrt[3]{2}+\omega), (\sqrt[3]{2}+\omega)^2, (\sqrt[3]{2}+\omega)^3, \frac{1}{(\sqrt[3]{2}+\omega)}, \frac{1}{(\sqrt[3]{2}+\omega)^2}$. Then I determined the coefficients I would need to multiply each by to finally get $2^{1/3}$

A: Let $L$ be the splitting field of $X^3 - 2$ over $\mathbb{Q}$. The roots of this polynomial are $\sqrt[3]{2}$,  $\omega \sqrt[3]{2}$,  $\omega^2 \sqrt[3]{2}$. Therefore $L = \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[3]{2}, \omega)$. Clearly, $[L:\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[3]{2})] = 2$, and $[\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[3]{2}):\mathbb{Q}] = 3$. Hence $[L:\mathbb{Q}] = 6$.
It will be enough to show that $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[3]{2} + \omega) = L$. This will follow if we can show that, of the six automorphisms of $L$, the element $\sqrt[3]{2} + \omega$ is fixed only by the identity. These automorphisms are given by $\sqrt[3]{2} \mapsto \sqrt[3]{2}, \omega \sqrt[3]{2}, \omega^2 \sqrt[3]{2}; \omega \mapsto \omega, \omega^2$.
Thus it is enough to check that
$$\sqrt[3]{2} + \omega \not\in \{ \omega \sqrt[3]{2} + \omega, \omega^2 \sqrt[3]{2} + \omega, \sqrt[3]{2} + \omega^2, \omega \sqrt[3]{2} + \omega^2, \omega^2 \sqrt[3]{2} + \omega^2 \}.$$
For the first three elements, this is obvious because their difference with $\sqrt[3]{2} + \omega$ is obviously nonzero. The fourth element is $\omega(\sqrt[3]{2} + \omega)$. The fifth element has modulus $\sqrt[3]{2} + 1$.


The mission of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, Council of Northern Kentucky is to lead women and men to join together to grow spiritually by offering person-to-person service to those who are needy and suffering. The most important part of our mission is to provide hope to those in need. One can survive without material goods but when you have lost hope that tomorrow will be better than today, you have lost everything.
We serve the less fortunate in Northern Kentucky with basic necessities regardless of religious affiliation or any other demographic.We provide services to those in residing in 30 parish or Conference communities located in the counties of Kenton, Boone, Campbell, Carroll, Grant and Pendleton.
Our Vincentian volunteers visit the homes of those needing help to offer spiritual, emotional and material assistance. In-home visits offer the personalized care to determine the extent of the need, the validity of the request, and develop a plan to move toward stability. One of our goals is early intervention with the hope of preventing homelessness for our clients.

End Further Info End Preamble Start Supplemental Information
Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also requires Federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including each new proposed collection, each proposed extension of existing collection of information, and each reinstatement of previously approved information collection before submitting the collection to the OMB for approval. To comply with this requirement, we are publishing this notice of a proposed data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in comments that will help:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and
4. Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submissions of responses.
5. Assess information collection costs
Improving Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) Prevention and Practice through Practice and Implementation Centers and National Partnerships" project (OMB Control No. 0920-1129, Exp. 8/31/2019))—Revision — National Center for Birth Defects and Developmental Disability (NCBDDD), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Prenatal exposure to alcohol is a leading preventable cause of birth defects and developmental disabilities. The term `fetal alcohol spectrum Start Printed Page 32920disorders' describes the full continuum of effects that can occur in an individual exposed to alcohol in utero. These effects include physical, mental, behavioral, and learning disabilities. All of these have lifelong implications.
Since 2002, CDC funded FASD Regional Training Centers (RTCs) to provide education and training to healthcare professionals and students about FASD prevention, identification, and treatment. In July 2013, CDC convened an expert review panel to evaluate the effectiveness of the RTC program overall and to make recommendations about the program.
The panel highlighted several accomplishments of the RTCs and proposed several changes for future programming: (1) The panel identified a need for more comprehensive coverage nationally with discipline-specific trainings, increased use of technology, greater collaboration with medical societies, and stronger linkages with national partner organizations to increase the reach of training opportunities, and (2) The panel suggested that the training centers focus on demonstrable practice change and sustainability and place a stronger emphasis on primary prevention of FASDs. In addition, it was recommended that future initiatives have stronger evaluation components.
Based on the recommendations of the expert review panel, CDC is placing increased focus on prevention, demonstrating practice change, achieving national coverage, and strengthening partnerships between FASD Practice and Implementation Centers, or PICs (the newly redesigned RTCs), and medical societies and national partner organizations. The National Organization on Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (NOFAS) also participates in this project as a resource to the PICS and national partners. The PICs and national partners are asked to closely collaborate in discipline-specific workgroups (DSWs) and identify strategies that will increase the reach of the program on a national level. While a major focus of the grantees' work will be national, regional approaches will be used to develop new content and test feasibility and acceptability of materials, especially among healthcare providers and medical societies. In addition, CDC is placing a stronger emphasis on evaluation, with both individual DSW/NOFAS evaluations and a cross-site evaluation.
CDC requests OMB approval to collect program evaluation information from (1) healthcare practitioners from disciplines targeted by each DSW, including training participants, (2) health system staff, and (3) cooperative agreement grantees over a three-year period.
Healthcare practitioners will complete surveys to provide information on whether project trainings impacted their knowledge and practice behavior regarding FASD identification, prevention, and treatment. The information will be used to improve future trainings and assess whether knowledge and practice changes occurred. Some participants will also complete qualitative key informant interviews to gain additional information on practice change. Health system employees will be interviewed or complete surveys as part of projects to assess healthcare systems change, including high impact evaluation studies and DSW systems change projects. The high impact evaluation studies will be primarily qualitative assessments of two to three specific grantee efforts that seem likely to result in achievement of program objectives. The DSW systems change projects will employ online surveys to assess systems change in selected health systems across the U.S.
Grantees will complete program evaluation forms to track perceptions of DSW collaboration and perceptions of key successes and challenges encountered by the DSW. It is estimated that 29,573 respondents will participate in the evaluation each year, for a total estimated burden of 3790 hours annually. There are no costs to respondents other than their time.

Ikpeazu's aide refutes defection rumours, says gov remains Abia PDP leader
By Guardian Nigeria
Chief Press Secretary (CPS) to Abia State Governor, Onyebuchi Ememanka, has reacted to rumours of Okezie Ikpeazu's plan to defect from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Kalu seeks unfreezing of account, removal of name from N7.1b fraud case
This followed the governor's recent reception of the leader of APC in the state and Chief Whip of the Senate, Orji Uzor Kalu at his Umuobiakwa country home in Obingwa Council of the state.
Ikpeazu and his aides, who were already waiting for the visit, received Kalu, who arrived the governor's resident on Friday, January 7, 2022 at 1:32 p.m.
Shortly after the pleasantries, Ikpeazu proceeded to an inner room with Kalu for a private meeting.
However, while dismissing the notions in many quarters regarding Ikpeazu's alleged plans to defect to the APC, Ememanka lamented the reactions that have continued to trail Kalu's visit to Ikpeazu, saying that the development had shown that a lot of people were more interested in empty conspiracy theories.
He insisted that the governor was a different man and that he would always receive his visitors, especially his predecessors in office.
Those who know Ikpeazu well will tell you that even when you have disagreements with him based on political ideologies, it doesn't affect his relationship with you.
"He is not the kind of governor who will refuse to entertain a former governor, who requests a visit simply because they don't agree politically.
"The visit has absolutely nothing to do with defection. No such issue came up during their discussion. If anyone will defect on account of that visit, it is certainly not Governor Ikpeazu," he said.
Ememanka reaffirmed Ikpeazu's loyalty to the PDP, adding: "Ikpeazu remains a member and leader of the PDP and he will lead the party to victory in Abia State in 2023."
MEANEHILE, Kalu has filed an application at the Federal High Court Abuja seeking the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to unfreeze his bank account and remove his name and Slok Nigeria Limited from the N7.1 billion charge leveled against him.
Kalu's lawyer, Ikoro Ikoro, said the application was based on the judgment of Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court, which was delivered on September 29, 2021, which barred the Federal Government from retrying him.
Kalu, who is the Chief Whip of the Senate and representative ofAbia North Senatorial District, argued that having been freed, it behooved him to apply to the court to formally strike out his name and Slok from the charge sheet.
However, the Federal Government had faulted Kalu's requests to unfreeze his accounts and the striking out of his name from a pending money laundering charge.

Governor's Lawyer: Greitens is "Absolutely Innocent"
Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens was indicted on Thursday amid looming allegations of sexual misconduct and blackmail following an admission of an affair last month.
Updated: Feb 26, 2018 10:12 AM
(CNN) -- Missouri GOP Gov. Eric Greitens was indicted on Thursday amid looming allegations of sexual misconduct and blackmail following an admission of an affair last month.
He was charged in St. Louis with a first-degree felony invasion of privacy, according to the Missouri court system.
In a statement Thursday, Greitens denied committing any crime and instead called the situation "a personal mistake" from his time prior to taking office.
"As I have said before, I made a personal mistake before I was Governor. I did not commit a crime," his statement read. "With today's disappointing and misguided political decision, my confidence in our prosecutorial system is shaken, but not broken. I know this will be righted soon. The people of Missouri deserve better than a reckless liberal prosecutor who uses her office to score political points. I look forward to the legal remedies to reverse this action. This will not for a moment deter me from doing the important work of the great people of Missouri."
CNN affiliate KMOV published a report last month where a man said his now-former wife had an affair with Greitens in 2015. The report included details of a recording of a woman saying Greitens had tried to blackmail her to keep quiet about their sexual encounter.
Greitens denied he resorted to blackmail, but admitted to an affair, and the circuit attorney for St. Louis, Kimberly M. Gardner, said they had launched a formal investigation.
In a statement, Gardner said the alleged incident took place in March 2015 and vowed to "hold public officials accountable in the same manner as any other resident."
Greitens' attorney, Edward Dowd Jr., said in an email to KMOV: "In forty years of public and private practice, I have never seen anything like this. The charges against my client are baseless and unfounded. My client is absolutely innocent. We will be filing a motion to dismiss."
Susan Ryan, a spokeswoman with the Circuit Attorney's Office released a statement saying the governor's lawyers had requested a "secret" meeting with her office prior to the indictment as they wanted to share the "human" side of Greitens' story.
"The Circuit Attorney makes charging decisions based upon facts and evidence. Without additional facts and information from the Governor, the meeting was not necessary," Ryan said.
In response to the "governor's personal attacks," Ryan said, her office "believes the courtroom is the appropriate place to argue the facts, not the media."
The indictment alleges Greitens took a picture of a person in "full or partial nudity" without the person's knowledge or consent, and that Greitens then transmitted the image "in a manner that allowed access to that image via a computer."
Gardner's statement said the transmission of the image in such a manner is a felony under the privacy statute Greitens is accused of violating.
Missouri House Speaker Todd Richardson, Floor Leader Rob Vescovo and Speaker Pro Tem Elijah Haahr released a statement on the indictment, announcing they have begun an investigation into the matter.
"We will carefully examine the facts contained in the indictment, and answer the question as to whether or not the governor can lead our state while a felony case moves forward," their statement read. "The people of Missouri deserve no less. We will begin the process of tasking a group of legislators to investigate these serious charges."
Additionally, Greitens is no longer planning to travel to Washington, DC, to participate in Republican Governors Association events Friday, according to a source familiar with the matter.
Vice President Mike Pence is scheduled to host a luncheon for the Council of Governors meeting Friday.
Al Watkins, the lawyer representing the ex-husband, said his client hopes to "put things in the rearview mirror" and move on.
"Lady justice can sometimes operate in cumbersome ways," Watkins said. "But right now we have an individual charged with a felony, and in our great land, one must presume innocence until guilt has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt. It's best to let the system take its course."
Watkins said last month that he had turned in hours of compromising audio on Greitens to law enforcement, and two officials told CNN that the FBI had recently opened an inquiry into the Missouri governor.

Love it or hate it, the new HTC One A9 is making waves today in the tech community. We've covered the official announcement, seen the photos and videos, we've also had our hands-on time with the HTC One A9. Last but not least, we've also talked about the unlocked version of the HTC One A9, a phone whose bootloader can be unlocked without voiding the warranty.
That's already a lot of info, but as it turns out, the unlocked HTC One A9 will also carry the distinct feature of being the first non-CDMA phone to be compatible with Verizon's network.
As many already know, Verizon relies on the CDMA technology for its 3G voice and technology. As CDMA is only used by a limited number of major carriers around the world, most unlocked phones come with GSM 3G technology. What this means is that smartphone makers usually have to make a special CDMA version of their handsets for reaching out to Verizon subscribers. Only a few big companies, such as Apple, Google, and Motorola go down that route.
Now, since making a new variant of a phone can turn out to be both costly and time-consuming, most companies that sell unlocked phones don't go through the trouble of making CDMA-compatible variants of their phones. But in Verizon's case, it looks like LTE, the next evolutionary step from 3G, might help solve the problem.
HTC says that the same GSM version of the unlocked One A9 will be able to run on T-Mobile and AT&T, which comes as of no surprise. The interesting part as HTC states that this same version will also be compatible with Verizon's network following a software update that will arrive soon after launch.
According to HTC, the One A9 will rely exclusively on its LTE radio to place voice calls, send SMS and MMS, as transfer data packages on Verizon's network. Traditionally, Verizon-compatible phones use the carrier's CDMA network for voice and text, while the LTE standard was used mainly for data transfer. But with new advancements in VoLTE (which stands for Voice over LTE), Verizon might now be able to handle everything through LTE alone. We say "might" because Verizon has yet to comment on the matter. All of this information comes from HTC, which is a bit odd given how important this may be for Verizon subscribers.
Although the prospect of using a non-CDMA phone on Verizon's network is certainly enticing, it should be mentioned that some caveats apply. First, the HTC One A9 will not be able to switch back to the CDMA network when no LTE coverage is available since the phone doesn't have a compatible radio. Also, HTC says that the One A9 will work with a pre-activated SIM card, meaning that you'll have to activate a CDMA phone, then take that SIM and feed it to the One A9.
We're eager to learn more about how the GSM version of the One A9 will be able to run on Verizon's network, but at a first glance, we don't see any reason why other phones should be able to perform the same trick. If this turns out to be the case, Verizon subscribers will surely appreciate that they can choose from a much wider range of compatible smartphone as opposed to being stuck to the limited range of CDMA phones currently available.
First? What about the Nexus 6, Nexus 6P, Nexus 5X, and Moto X Pure?
This is a GSM phone, but can use the LTE band for Verizon. "According to HTC, the One A9 will rely exclusively on its LTE radio to place voice calls, send SMS and MMS, as transfer data packages on Verizon's network. "
As someone with Verizon, I call BS. My Note 3 currently sitting on my desk shows 3G until I walk outside. Verizon LTE doesn't have the coverage indoors and in some areas that 3G does for whatever reason. There are so many times my phone falls back to 3G. I would be very careful in getting a non CDMA phone for verizon.
You can do what Sprint customers do - get used to not having service.
woah, it's some great asset for those who aren't fan oc Verizons logo on thier phones.
Unlocked Xperias Z2 and higher support LTE band 13 which means they could technically get a software update to do the same. Like danwatson said though, voice calls would be a whole lot less reliable without a CDMA backup.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Verizon still use 2G CDMA for all non-VoLTE voice calls? VoLTE is great, but it only activates if the person you're calling is also using VoLTE. You can't receive a VoLTE call with a landline. So how is this A9 "fully compatible"?
When you set your calls for VoLTE, all your calls are carried via LTE. Only if the recipient is also using VoLTE will the phone negotiate to the higher quality AMR-WB 12.25 kbps vocoder for "HD Voice". If you're calling a landline or a 3G (CDMA 2000 1xRTT) user or other carrier phone user, the call is still transported over LTE if you're in an LTE area, but won't use the higher quality codec. There is a difference between VoLTE and HD Voice.
Ah. That does clear things up. So are all my calls now going over LTE, or only the HD Voice calls? Because I only notice a difference in quality if I'm calling another HD Voice line. I would have thought there would be some compression on my end in either case.
Yes-- the HD voice takes BOTH phones to use that codec. Otherwise, you're call is still on LTE, but will use the AMR-NB (narrowband) codec rather than the wideband one since it has to be either sent to a POTS phone or to a 1x phone (which would use the EVRC vocoder like all others). That's why if you have VoLTE on and you leave an LTE service area while on the phone (regardless of whom the recipient is), the call would drop as you lose LTE service.
Actually, the Sony Xperia Z3 compact (D5803) now with its 5.1.1 upgrade (which includes VoLTE) would be compatible with Verizon but lacks the CDMA radio, and it was released last year.
"... you'll have to activate a CDMA phone, then take that SIM and feed it to the One A9." Uh, take what SIM out of my CDMA phone??
Any Verizon phone since about 2011. The current phones (Moto X, Droid Turbo, Galaxy S6, etc.) all have CDMA AND LTE and have a SIM that authenticates them on the Verizon network. If you get a new phone, you can just move that SIM into a new phone to switch to it (assuming it's the same size SIM, i.e. nano vs. micro vs. mini).
I spoke with a Verizon repr. That told me that the HTC a9 would work with their 2g and 3 g he said he was positive but I don't know I'd he knew whT he was talking about. But he was the third repr to tell me the same .
Wait, so they can't make a CDMA version of this phone for Verizon, but they can do so for Sprint?? How on Earth does that make any amount of sense?

A Harvard survey last month found that a slim majority of millennials reject capitalism, and with the quality of media reporting about business and the economy, it's not hard to guess why. (Not to mention the pitiful state of economics education in public high schools.) The Washington Post published a story today that perfectly illustrates the extent of the problem in a single sentence.
The story is about single women in China who have passed their early 20s without a husband, which they say brings shame to their families and have turned to "love markets" as a last resort. Turns out that some entrepreneurs have started companies to help these women find husbands. These are more than dating websites. The companies train the women in man-finding techniques and search cities to help them locate eligible men.

The Washington Post (Again) Omits Its Least Favorite Statistic

He operates a small business consulting and public relations firm in Southern California and also serves as an officer in the National Guard. Contact him on Twitter: @rcjparry.
Last weekend, the Washington Post published its annual misrepresentation of police uses of lethal force around the country. "Fatal Force" is the round-up the Post has published for each of the last three years, analyzing data it started collecting after the 2014 Ferguson incident. The Post discovered that the FBI's data on such incidents was capturing barely half of them, and decided to do the job themselves. The fact that local police are not beholden to Federal masters is lost on the statists at the Post, but the database does an admirable job of informing the national conversation on this local issue.
The 2017 data showed that police use of lethal force continues to be very consistent. For each of the last three years, police have killed between 963 and 996 suspects (a variance of barely three percent), almost all of them unquestionably justified. While yaktivists would like you to believe that most police killings are murders, they are distinctly not. And while the Shaun Kings of the world will immediately try to present the subjects of such sad events (like last weekend's shooting in North Little Rock, AR) as good students who were the victims of racial profiling, it is almost inevitable that the evidence, such as this video, shows the subject did something like try to shoot two police officers who had just told him not to worry about having "a little weed."
Radley Balko Finds a Good Cop. And He's A, Well…
The folks among Black Lives Matter, radical Libertarians and "police reform activists" would have you that they don't really want any harm to come to police officers. They simply want to prevent harm to people the police are dealing with.
They want you to believe they reject the idea that "The only good cop is dead cop." But, the strange thing is they never quite seem to be able to say what a "good cop" is when it comes to actually dealing with dangerous people.
It's trite for us to complain about press bias, but we repeat it so often because it's usually true. Sometimes, at least, it's funny. I just got this New York Times alert of the wonderful addition of hundreds of thousands of jobs to the economy this month. I love how they go out of their […]

Mexico 'evaluates' accepting US cash to deport migrants
AFP , Friday 14 Sep 2018

Immigration: A Danish third model?
Mexico said Thursday it had received an offer from the United States of payment to deport migrants, but denied it had accepted the deal.
The statement followed reports that President Donald Trump's administration planned to send Mexico $20 million to deport undocumented Central Americans crossing its territory toward the United States.
"Regarding the US State Department's notification to Congress of its intent to allocate resources to assist Mexico in repatriating third-country nationals... the Mexican government is still evaluating the proposal," it said.
The New York Times reported earlier that the Trump administration had told Congress it planned to use millions in foreign aid to help Mexico pay for plane and bus tickets to send home up to 17,000 undocumented migrants.
"The Mexican government has not accepted said proposal, verbally or in writing, or signed any document in that regard," said the foreign and interior ministries in a statement.
The plan is Trump's latest move to stop undocumented immigrants from reaching the United States.
He also wants to build a wall on the US-Mexican border -- which he is fond of vowing he will make Mexico pay for, straining the two neighbors' relations.
His "zero tolerance" policy on undocumented immigration led to thousands of children being separated from their parents earlier this year when the latter were arrested.
The resulting outcry at home and abroad forced the administration to backtrack, but 416 of the minors remain in custody despite a court order to reunite them with their parents or guardians.
More than half a million migrants cross into Mexico each year seeking to reach the United States, according to the United Nations.
Most are Central Americans fleeing poverty and brutal gang violence.

Press on 'A Year with the Sages'
Publisher's Weekly: Religion and Spirituality Announcements, 2019
A YEAR WITH THE SAGES: Wisdom on the Weekly Torah Portion – Reviewed by Jack Riemer
This is Rabbi Reuven Hammer's last book, and it is in some senses his best.
Reuven Hammer had a long and distinguished career as a rabbi and as an educator during which he taught Torah to Jews from South Africa to South America, and from Hong Kong to Hawaii, as well as in America and in Israel. During these years he came to understand that if you want to be an effective teacher of Torah today you must teach it at three different levels.
First, you must teach the Torah at the level of pshat. You must deal with the question of what did it mean in its original context. You must compare and contrast what the Bible says with what the literature of the countries that lived around the land of Israel say, and with what the cultures that came before it say. Only if you do this can you understand who the biblical writers were speaking out against and what they were speaking out for.
Second, you must teach the Torah at the level of midrash. You must seek to understand what the sages of the Talmud and of the medieval period read into and read out of the biblical text. For only if you do this can you understand how the Torah developed down through the centuries.
And third, you must answer the question of what does the Bible mean to us who live here and now. If you don't deal with this question, you treat the Bible as a curious ancient document and not as one that has wisdom and guidance to offer on the questions that we face today.
In this book Rabbi Hammer dealt with the Torah portion that is read on each week of the year and with those that are read on the holidays and asked these three questions of every unit.
Space permits only one brief example of his method.
The sedra of Shoftim contains the commandment to set up a system of judges when they enter the land of Israel. It stresses that these judges must hate bribery and that they must practice justice whenever two plaintiffs come before them. Rabbi Hammer notices that the word 'justice' is central in this passage. The Torah goes so far as to say that without justice, the community cannot survive. it is justice and not ritual observance that will determine whether or not they will be able to live on the land.
The lesson here is the difference between bad religion and good religion. Bad religion is religion in which we think that we control God by offering Him sacrifices or by carrying out rituals. Good religion is religion in which we understand that God does not work for us: we work for Him. And the way we work for Him is by the way we treat each other and not just by the way in which we offer up sacrifices or prayers. This is the lesson that Rabbi Hammer derives from studying this portion of the Bible at the level of pshat.
But then Rabbi Hammer goes on to see how the Sages understand this page. If there is one thing that we can say about the Sages, it is that they loved to argue. And so he finds two different Sages who respond to this passage in two very different ways. Rabbi Ishmael says that the obligation to treat people equally before the law only applies to your fellow Jews and that you do not have to show justice to Romans. Rabbi Akiva disagrees vehemently and says that to do this is not only to pervert justice; it is to desecrate the name of God.
This disagreement has to be understood in the context of the world in which these Sages lived. The land was under Roman rule and there was no Jewish sovereignty. Most Jews resented the Romans and considered them conquerors and not neighbors. There is a tradition that says that Rabbi Ishmael himself was once captured and tortured by the Romans. So his hostility to them is understandable. But Rabbi Akiba saw the issue differently. Even though he was no friend of Rome, he believed that all human beings are equal and that all human beings are entitled to equal treatment under the law. And more than that–he believed that cheating a non Jew was a double sin. It was not only a perversion of justice but a desecration of God's name.
And then Rabbi Hammer goes on to the third stage and shows that this disagreement between the Sages is still a very real issue in modern Jewish life. There are some extremists in Israel who teach their students that the lives of non Jews are less worthy than the lives of Jews. He has seen some of these teachers whose students have been moved by these teachings to damage and to desecrate the houses of worship of non Jews, and who have shown intolerance towards the non Jews who live in the land of Israel. He has seen one rabbinic court that has ruled that the Torah forbids renting rooms to non Jews in Jewish neighborhoods. And he felt deeply that such teachings were a perversion of what the Torah teaches. And therefore, when he was asked by the Masorti movement to write a responsum on the status of gentiles in Jewish Law, he complied. He wrote a statement that surveyed the history of this question in Jewish Law, that set the different views that exist within their historical context, and that then came down clearly on the side of Rabbi Akiva. And he said that he was pleased that this statement had had had a positive effect on the life of Israel in general, and on the work of Jewish educators in particular.
Some readers will be drawn to the section on pshat in this book, and what it teaches about the world of the Bible. Some will be drawn to the section on midrash, and what it teaches about the debates and the disagreements between the Sages over this issue. And some will be drawn to the section in which he talks about how the Torah speaks to the issues that we face here and now. But whichever section you prefer, there is much wisdom in this book for every reader. In a time when the Bible is treated by many as just an ancient book, the first section is much needed. In a time in which the Jewish tradition is almost unknown among so many, the second section is important. And in a time when there is so little civility and so little respect among those who disagree with each other, the third section is of great value.
Rabbi Hammer was an important voice in the Jewish community of our time, and we miss his calmness and his reasonableness. We can only hope that this book will enable future generations to learn from his teaching.
