Best Bet: Ravens Moneyline (+115) @ Bengals
We're always looking for value with our bets, and that's what we have here per our NFL gameday odds.
Although Tyler Huntley played very well last week, he's no Lamar Jackson. And should Jackson (ankle) return for this weekend's all-important AFC North clash between the Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals, it could end up being a pick 'em.
The Bengals did crush the Ravens earlier this season, but it seems more likely than not that these two teams will split their season series.
Both squads have tougher opponents on the horizon, making this game even more crucial. Baltimore is the more experienced team in this spot, though, which is why I'm a bit more comfortable taking them over Cincinnati.
TwinSpires NFL Week 16 Bet Promos
TwinSpires Sportsbook may not be as well-known to sports bettors who don't wager on horseracing, but their welcome bonus is up there with the best. TwinSpires — owned by Churchill Downs Inc. — offers a risk-free first bet of up to $1,000 to new users who .
Their bonus is quite simple to understand. If your first wager of $1,000 or less is unsuccessful, TwinSpires will return your initial stake in the form of a free bet. Essentially, the sportsbook is granting you another shot at a reward if you don't win on your first try, which is also explained in Anthony Cervino's TwinSpires Sportsbook review.
If you'd like to take advantage of this offer, consider pairing it with the following bet for a nice payout:
Best Bet: Packers -7.5 (-110) vs Browns
There are a few reasons why we're rolling with the Green Bay Packers over the Cleveland Browns here. While the Packers are far superior in terms of overall talent, they'll also have a key rest advantage in this game that could give them the edge they need to keep this one from being too close.
The Browns were supposed to play the Las Vegas Raiders last Saturday, but the game was postponed to Monday due to a COVID outbreak. After playing Las Vegas, Cleveland will only get four full days off before traveling to Green Bay for their Christmas Day showdown.
It's quite the disadvantage, and it's particularly unfortunate for the Browns since they're still in the playoff hunt. Bank on Aaron Rodgers and Green Bay to overwhelm Cleveland at home en route to a decisive win.
FOX Bet NFL Week 16 Bet Promos
FOX Bet Sportsbook is a great option for bettors of all backgrounds with tons of great promotions, including their welcome bonus. The site offers a risk-free bet of up to $500 to new users who , which could help a rookie bettor end up with a huge payout or give an experienced one a good opportunity to check out a new sportsbook.
After making your first deposit at FOX Bet, you'll receive a risk-free bet of up to $500 depending on how much you choose to wager with your first bet pick. If your first bet is unsuccessful, FOX Bet will return your initial stake in full in free bet funds as outlined in Anthony Cervino's FOX Bet Sportsbook review.
If this offer sounds appealing to you, consider signing up and using it on the following bet for NFL Week 16:
Best Bet: Total Points Under 42.5 (-110) in Giants @ Eagles
The New York Giants have essentially been an Under machine this season. Overs have occasionally hit when they take on higher-powered offenses, but even then only a handful of their games have ended with a total in the mid-40s and up.
The Philadelphia Eagles, on the other hand, have put points on the board with ease this season, scoring at least 30 in six games. However, it's worth noting that their only single-digit scoring performance of the year came just a few weeks ago, when they put up seven in a loss to the Giants.
Now, we shouldn't expect the Eagles to lay another egg like that here. But with Philadelphia on short rest following a divisional matchup with Washington on Tuesday, the offense likely won't be at its best.
Paired with a New York team that will likely struggle to score but also plays competent defense, the Under looks like a safe bet here, making it our NFL bet of the day.

Borderstan People: Rauzia Ally on Design, Sustainability, Preservation
by Borderstan.com April 10, 2012 at 10:00 am 2,145 3 Comments
Rauzia Ally was recently appointed to the District's Historic Preservation Review Board. (Luis Gomez Photos)
From Tom Hay. Questions for Tom? Send him an email at Tom[AT]borderstan.com. You can follow him on Twitter @Tomonswann.
For our latest profile on noteworthy local residents, Borderstan had an opportunity to catch up with architect Rauzia Ally. Most will agree, this local resident's star is on the rise, both locally and nationally. Ally came to the DC area from her native Guyana for school, and then settled with her husband in the Dupont-Logan area, just off 14th Street NW.
Locally, after serving many years on the Dupont Circle Conservancy — the non-profit whose mission is to promote preservation of the historic and architectural character of the Dupont Circle historic districts — Ally was appointed by Mayor Vincent Gray to a term on the District's Historic Preservation Review Board. She will be the only representative from Ward 2 on the board.
Ally will also serve as director for a team of local college students competing nationally in the 2013 U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon. The Solar Decathlon challenges each team to "design, build, and operate solar-powered houses that are cost-effective, energy-efficient, and attractive." The competition will take place in October 2013 in Irvine, California.
On top of all these projects, Ally also runs an architecture and design firm with her husband Gregory Rubbo and serves on the faculty of the School of Architecture and Planning at the Catholic University of America.
Borderstan: Tell us a little bit about your background and why you came to DC.
Ally: My family came to DC because my grandfather's brother went to Howard's Dental school here before going back to Guyana to begin his own practice in 1947. Since then all of my mother's family came and they also studied dentistry. So we all ended up here. I still remember though growing up in Guyana, when family would visit, they would bring back the souvenirs, the Washington Monument or a snow dome of the White House. Those memories of dreaming about what Washington was like upon touching those objects are still very much embedded in me.
Borderstan: What made you and Gregory choose to live in the Dupont Circle area of Borderstan?
Ally: We love the quality of the row houses and the small streets like Swann, where we live. The homes are beautiful, and the trees are lovely. It's a joy to walk around, walk to Georgetown or down 14th Street, know all your neighbors, and be a part of the fabric.
Borderstan: You recently served on the board of the Dupont Circle Conservancy. What is your favorite building in the area?
Ally: Historic would be many but likely the Masonic Temple is very beautiful. The Finnish Embassy is also quite lovely. I love the houses on New Hampshire Avenue too.
Borderstan: What is the biggest challenge in reviewing changes or additions to historic buildings?
Ally: Really trying to forge a relationship between the old and new without copying just the look of the old, a stylized version. So keeping honesty in materials and methods of building while honoring the historic.
Borderstan: There is development along every block of 14th Street in our neighborhood. Do you see that as a threat to the historic fabric of the area?
Ally: No not at all, in fact it helps to upkeep historic properties when once blighted areas are redeveloped. I love seeing the new that is done well right next to the old. It's exciting.
Borderstan: Who's your favorite living architect and who's your favorite deceased architect?
Ally: Peter Zumpthor for living. He's a master builder and a master of meaning and beauty as well. Frank Lloyd Wright for deceased as an embodiment of the American Spirit of individualism and zest for life.
Borderstan: How did you become involved with the Solar Decathlon?
Ally: Living in Guyana, where sustainability is not a buzz word but part and parcel of everyday practice, it's easy to understand the principles. So it was naturally a project I wanted to be a part of and direct. After the BP disaster, I felt we truly have to be serious about alternative energy, and it was around that time we were studying at CUA the viability of the project. I feel that true environmental sustainability cannot rely on technologies, but on culture, society and art and humanities as the backbone. So trying to personify what that means in a project was very important to me. Our Solar Decathlon home exemplifies humanistic, scientific and spiritual ideas and you must have all three for sustainability to mean anything.
Borderstan: How many students are currently involved and what schools do they come from?
Ally: We have had in the past year about 40 from our school and 30 from George Washington University. Currently we have 20 from CUA, another 20 from George Washington University and about 15 from American University. All told, it will be likely about 200 students involved over the course of the project and a large host of professionals as well. Already we have students working in the professional offices like Arup Engineering, so the project is already accomplishing its intentions, to foster those kinds of relationships. You can follow our progress on Facebook, TeamCapitoldc or Twitter @dcharvesthome. Even though DC has hosted the Solar Decathlon since 2002, we've never had a team before. Team Capitol dc is the first DC team.
Borderstan: What do you think is the biggest misconception about solar power? How about the biggest misconception about historic preservation?
Ally: Solar power – that it is essentially impractical and that there are dim prospects for it. I don't think anyone realizes how much energy solar power currently provides. All three universities in Team Capitol dc are racing to put panels on as many campus buildings as possible. Historic Preservation – that you could care about it and champion it while desiring modern architecture for new buildings at the same time, both in harmony.
Borderstan: You have a very full schedule. When you do have free time, where do you like to relax or eat out in the neighborhood?
Ally: I like to sit with my husband and while awayat Meridian Hill Park or go to the garden of the Smithsonian Castle or the Botanic Gardens. Living in Bordestan it's easy to get to those venues. But I also love just sitting in my front stoop area and talking to neighbors on a Sunday morning. To eat, I love Plume at the Jefferson Hotel but Posto's outside area on a balmy day is also nice.

In our own ways, 2016 was quite a year. Whether you're into astrology, politics, religion, finance, education, or the state of the human race - we had a lot going on last year. Lately, I've found it more difficult to keep my chin up and going into 2017, I metaphorically "cancelled" January so I could slow down and focus on healing. My new year technically starts February 1.
A dear friend of mine, knowing the weight my journey was setting on my soul, shared her 100 days project/theory with me in October 2016, and after adopting it on the spot, I'm now looking up to see that my first 100 days will be completed next week. She was right, I am so far from where I was on day one - and my hundred day beacon was a lighthouse of hope during the darkest times.
Now, I'm ready to start a new 100 days.
So, inspired by fellow blogger and friend Mari Partyka, I've also created a #Wildflowers100 plan for the first hundred days of 2017. Together, all these new experiences and nurturing activities will create a garden of wildflowers. Want to join us? Check out Mari's original blog via the link above and consider starting your own - share your journey on Instagram with the hashtag #Wildflowers100.
6. Go Car-Free *Completed, Bright Eyes is off to a good home!
7. Minimize to Minimalism *Completed, because I make it so.
10. Harvest & Eat From My Garden *Completed. Eaten + homemade smudge sticks currently drying out.
12. Make Kombucha *In progress - SCOBY is growing!
13. Complete the Landmark Forum *Completed! Read the follow-up post here.
14. Make a Mixtape (well, most likely a Spotify playlist) *Completed.
Along the way, I'll update this post with pictures or little anecdotes after completing each item. The most important part of this project, for me, is the celebration. Too often I chug through life like a dutiful train, completing one journey after the next and simply moving forward to the next task. I want to reflect on each of these activities. I want to remember why I did them and how they changed me.
I want to grow a garden of wildflowers inside my heart - some that I cut and share with others, some that I save for myself, and some that I simply gaze upon, spreading wild like fire.


Well, a New Year has started and while I am not a huge fan of the "New Year, New You" thing, I am looking forward to some of the challenges this year brings.
I am signed up to do the Train to Hunt runs here in Colorado Springs in April. I am also signed up for the Triple Crown archery tournaments at the Air Force Academy Archery Club. With all of these competitions, I traded in a PSE bow for a new Hoyt Nitrux. Along with the bow, I picked up the following to add to it – QAD Ultra Hunter, IQBowsight 7 pin, SAS 8″ stabilizer. I will continue to use my Easton aftermath 340 spine arrows with Nocturnal nocks and my TruBall Assassin release. I am working to get it set-up still… Day one of set-up and I already like it better.
With these upcoming competitions, I will be kicking into a pretty substantial workout program (not quite sure as to what just yet, CrossFit is on the table). I am sure this will also help with hunting season prep.
The greenhouse was holding its own against the cold until the new year's first week. We dropped into the low single digits overnight, which in turn dropped internal greenhouse temps into the low 20's. The pepper and tomato plants just couldn't hold. The broccoli, celery, spinach, kale, garlic, carrots are holding up great though… so, YAY! In the meantime, we also have a pretty substantial herb garden growing in the kitchen.
My wife told me today that she would like to have chickens again, so in the near future I will be building out another chicken coop to accommodate. The question now is mobile or stationary… and how many to accommodate for?
Alright, so with all of that said, I will keep you updated as all of these and other challenges play out. Stay tuned for more updates.

Scientists want to use bacteria to clean up oil spills
In 2010 the Deepwater Horizon oil spill released an estimated 4.2 million barrels of oil into the Gulf of Mexico – the largest offshore spill in US history. The spill caused widespread damage to marine species, fisheries, and ecosystems stretching from tidal marshes to the deep ocean floor.
Emergency responders used multiple strategies to remove oil from the Gulf: they skimmed it from the water's surface, burned it and used chemical dispersants to break it into small droplets.
However, experts struggled to account for what had happened to much of the oil. This was an important question, because it was unclear how much of the released oil would break down naturally within a short time.
If spilt oil persisted and sank to the ocean floor, scientists expected that it would cause more extensive harm to the environment.
Before the Deepwater Horizon spill, scientists had observed that marine bacteria were very efficient at removing oil from seawater. Therefore, many experts argued that marine microbes would consume large quantities of oil from the BP spill and help the Gulf recover.
In a recent study, we used DNA analysis to confirm that certain kinds of marine bacteria efficiently broke down some of the major chemical components of oil from the spill. We also identified the major genetic pathways these bacteria used for this process, and other genes, which they likely need to thrive in the Gulf.

Flare station is replaced at Berkeley's Cesar Chavez Park
The old flare station at Berkeley's Cesar Chavez Park, built amid controversy in 1989, is gone. A crew from Innovative Construction Solutions (ICS), aided by Hatton Crane Service, under the watchful eyes of Taylor Lancelot of the City of Berkeley and a representative from SCS Engineers, who built the system originally, took down the rusty leaning tower in a seven-hour session on Tuesday, Aug. 9, under bright skies with a modest westerly breeze.
Cesar Chavez Park is a green cover over what was, until 1983, the Berkeley city dump. Compostable refuse generates methane and other landfill gases. In the 1980s, a group of scientists and environmentalists argued that a flare station was unnecessary at this site. Measurements showed that surface emissions of methane were below levels of concern, probably due to the action of soil bacteria that "eat" methane. This inexpensive natural bioremediation process was sufficient, they argued.
But the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) brushed aside the measurements, branded bioremediation as "experimental," and threatened the city with heavy fines unless it installed a mechanical gas extraction and flare system. The city complied.
More than 40 gas extraction wells lie buried at various points in the park, as well as on the grounds of the Hilton Hotel, which is also built on refuse fill. More than 16,000 feet of underground pipes channel the gas from the extraction wells to the flare station. The station consists of a condenser, which removes moisture, a pair of blowers that ram the gas into a high-temperature burner, and, above the burner, the stack, whose main function is to conceal the flame and act as stovepipe to channel the exhaust gas up above nose level.

Every year, one of the main moans people have is about the commercialisation of Christmas, of how shops seem to have their Christmas stock out on their shelves earlier each year and how the Christmas songs start getting pumped into the shops at around the same time too. The date usually given for that is early-to-mid November, meaning that by the time the big day arrives, you are utterly sick to death of hearing them.
And it's the same old songs, they will say: Slade's "Merry Xmas Everyone", Shakin' Stevens' "Merry Christmas Everyone", Wizzard's "We've Called Ours Merry Christmas Everyone Too I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday".
But hand on heart, I haven't heard a single one of those this year. Yet.
I have heard some Christmas songs in shops, usually when I'm queuing up to get my meal deal in Boots. And this year, the first one that I heard could only have been bettered had it been Dennis Waterman and George Cole's "What Are We Gonna Get 'Er Indoors?".
Mostly Christmas covers, if I'm totally honest.

Common and specific genomic sequences of avian and human extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli as determined by genomic subtractive hybridization

Background: Suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) strategy was used with extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (EXPEC) that cause avian colibacillosis (avian pathogenic E. coli or APEC) and human urinary tract infections (uropathogenic E. coli or UPEC) to determine if they possessed genes that were host and/or niche specific. Both APEC and UPEC isolates were used as tester and driver strains in 4 different SSHs in order to obtain APEC- and UPEC-specific subtraction fragments (SFs). Results: These procedures yielded a total of 136 tester-specific SFs of which 85 were APEC-derived and 51 were UPEC-derived. Most of the APEC-derived SFs were associated with plasmids; whereas, the majority of UPEC-derived sequences matched to the bacterial chromosome. We further determined the distribution of these tester-derived sequences in a collection of UPEC and APEC isolates using polymerase chain reaction techniques. Plasmid-borne, APEC-derived sequences (tsh, cvaB, traR, traC and sopB) were predominantly present in APEC, as compared to UPEC. Of the UPEC-derived SFs, those encoding hemolysin D and F1C major and minor fimbrial subunits were present only in UPEC. However, two UPEC-derived SFs that showed strong similarity to the uropathgenic-specific protein gene (usp) occurred in APEC, demonstrating that usp is not specific to UPEC. Conclusion: This study provides evidence of the genetic variability of ExPEC as well as genomic similarities between UPEC and APEC; it did not identify any single marker that would dictate host and/or niche specificity in APEC or UPEC. However, further studies on the genes that encode putative or hypothetical proteins might offer important insight into the pathogenesis of disease, as caused by these two ExPEC.

Washington, D.C.-based artist Stephanie J. Williams delivers the opening lecture in the Wriston Art Center Galleries' latest exhibition Friday, Sept. 27 at 6 p.m in the Wriston auditorium. The new exhibition runs through Nov. 27. A reception follows Williams' remarks. Both events are free and open to the public.
Williams explores themes of body topography, play, home and pose in her installation "Homegrown" in the Kohler Gallery. Her work focuses on reconfiguring the familiar into alien territory. Through changed context, disparate parts become exotic objects allowing the viewer to look at what is uncomfortable to see and have accessibility to anomaly.
The Leech Gallery features works from the Wriston's permanent collection as well as copies of fashion plates from Europe and America in "Capturing Modernity: Art, Fashion, and Artifice." Curated by associate professor of art history Elizabeth Carlson, the collection examines the correlation between turn-of-the-century fashion and emerging modernity.
Sculptor Alison Stehlik's installation "Where-House" in the Hoffmaster Gallery, explores the relationship between the architectural space that is a home and the products and possessions that fill that space. In a society where packaging and branding seem to supersede the structure of the home, Stehlik's work confronts the viewer with the possibility that our attachment to the objects within our home exceeds our connection to the actual place in which we live.
Wriston Art Center hours are Tuesday-Friday from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m., Saturday-Sunday from noon – 4 p.m. The galleries are closed on Mondays. For more information, call 920-832-6621.

Google is said to be working on a Never-Slow mode feature in a bid to offer users a better experience.
Google seems to be working on a few new features for Chrome. The company recently added Password Checkup Chrome extension. The browser is also expected to get 'lookalike URLs' feature. Now, the search giant is said to be working on a Never-Slow mode feature in a bid to offer users better and faster browsing experience. This feature will help restrict resource loading and runtime processing, which will open webpages at a much faster pace.
A new commit has been spotted on Chromium Gerrit which reads, "An experimental browsing mode that restricts resource loading and runtime processing to deliver a consistently fast experience." However, Google asserted that this "may silently break content." Furthermore, the new mode is said to reduce memory usage, but it will not affect majorly. The commit dates back to October 2018 and the company has recently updated it. There is also a PROTOTYPE – DO NOT COMMIT label.
The commit also explains that the new mode, "Currently blocks large scripts, sets budgets for certain resource types (script, font, css, images), turns off document.write(), clobbers sync XHR, enables client-hints pervasively, and buffers resources without ~CHECK~Content-Length~CHECK~ set. Budgets are reset on interaction (click/tap/scroll). Long script tasks (> 200ms) pause all page execution until next interaction." At the moment, there is no information on the release date of this feature.
Besides, the company recently added a new extension, labeled Password Checkup, which automatically checks in the background whether your password is compromised or not. If your Google account is comprised, this feature will automatically reset the password. Google is expected to roll out the 'lookalike URLs' feature soon, which will warn users if they get fooled by a lookalike website. They will be then redirected to the orginal site that users were searching for.

Rocky summit: when Trump met Putin
Donald Trump did enough, and more, to mess up his meeting with Vladimir Putin
in English to Hindi
A summit between the leaders of the world's strongest nuclear powers, which fought the Cold War for decades, is an opportunity to discuss areas of shared interest, find ways to dial down mutual tensions and work together to address global issues. But well before Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin sat down for their first formal summit meeting, in Helsinki, there were concerns that it would be overshadowed by allegations of Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. The uproar in Washington over Mr. Trump's remarks on the Russian meddling scandal — with even accusations of treason — and his subsequent U-turn suggest that such concerns were valid. Mr. Trump could have certainly managed the summit better by addressing genuine concerns in the U.S. over allegations of Russia's election meddling. Days earlier, the U.S. Justice Department indicted 12 Russian intelligence officials for hacking and leaking emails of top Democrats. It, therefore, seemed surreal when the President accepted the Russian version over that of his own intelligence agencies and the Justice Department. Away from the controversy, the closed-door meeting between the leaders can be evaluated only on the progress made on a number of contentious issues before both.
The new Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) is set to expire in 2021 and Russia has shown interest in extending it. For a consensus, high-level talks between the U.S. and Russia are needed. From the crisis in Ukraine to the civil war in Syria, Russia-U.S. cooperation is vital to finding lasting solutions. The Iran nuclear deal, for which Mr. Putin and Barack Obama worked together despite differences, is in a shambles. Most of these issues, including the threat posed by nuclear weapons and intercontinental ballistic missiles, were discussed at the summit. But it's not clear whether the talks will lead to any significant change in policies. Since the Ukraine crisis, the West has tried different methods, including sanctions and pressure tactics, to isolate Russia and change its behavior. But those methods have proved largely unsuccessful as Russia is now a far more ambitious foreign policy power with an enhanced presence in Eastern Europe and West Asia — even if its sanctions-hit economy is struggling. Instead of continuing a policy that has failed and ratcheted up global tensions, the Western alliance should junk its Cold War mentality and engage with Russia; Russia, in turn, will have to shed its rogue attitude and be more open and stable in its dealings. The stakes are high and the bitterness of the past should not hinder U.S.-Russia relations. That should have been the message from Helsinki.

The phrase "robbing Peter to pay Paul" is not new to us. It was in 1661AD that Peter Heylyn in his Ecclesia Restaurata sought to explain the origin and import of this phrase. Though his attempt has been punctured severally by other etymologists, the phrase suggests a calamitous sequence of events where, before the Reformation, taxes had to be paid from the treasury of St. Peter's church in Rome to defray the running costs of St. Paul's church in London. At this time, the lands of Westminster upon which St. Paul's church stood had become so dilapidated and badly run by Bishop Thirlby, that there was almost nothing left to support its dignity. Originally it referred to neglecting the Peter tax in order to have money to pay the Paul tax. In its proper context, this phrase simply means solving one problem in a way that makes another problem worse.
When this type of approach is adopted in managing the economy of a state the outcome is always disastrous especially for countries with teething economic problems. That is what I call casino or lottery economy and no country makes progress in this type of scenario. Even Adam Smith, variously referred to as the father of economics did not prescribe this type of voodoo economics despite the fact that some modern economist have interpreted his economic model as laissez-faire economics because of his insistence that the best policy by which a state can manage its economy was to leave the economy to the free play of market forces.
Evidently, the interpretation of Smith's postulations as laissez-faire economics could be linked to his polemics against what he called mercantilism, which was based on the principle of "robbing Peter to pay Paul". One important role of the government in managing the economy is to provide the institutional framework required for competitive markets to function. In other words, a well-structured political system should be able to provide a secure framework for the market system to work efficiently.
More broadly, the role of the state is to protect the members of society, both as participants in market transactions and in their private lives, from violence and invasion from other societies and oppression by other members of society. A good reading of Adam Smith's "Wealth of Nations" will reveal that although well-functioning markets are good for society, individual producers might well find it in their individual interests to limit competition by entering into "conspiracies against the public". Therefore, an important role for government is to design an economic system that as far as possible discouraged the creation of private cartels and monopolies. Buhari's economic management policies since he came on board are deficit on this principle.
I recall vividly that one of the numerous campaign promises by Buhari is that his administration would pay every unemployed Nigerian the sum of N5000 every month as welfare package pending such a time the person will be gainfully employed. At the time the promise was made and now, I have always maintained that this promise is neither feasible nor achievable for several reasons. I have read from the papers that Jigawa state government has slated March this year for the commencement of disbursement of this money to the unemployed and the poorest youths in the State.
I am not unmindful of the fact that most Nigerians, especially the Nigerian youths would readily applaud this as an indication of better things to come and that it is indicative of the Federal Government's commitment in fulfilling its campaign promises and alleviating the sufferings of the common man. However, for discerning Nigerians, we know that it was like the promise a dandy cockerel makes to the hen at the moment of carnal arousal. The promise was part of the grand plot by the APC to woo Nigerians essentially because many Nigerians understood that in a bid to win the 2015 elections, the APC made a lot of unachievable promises.
In making such outlandish promise, the APC was merely putting the cart before the horse. I am a realist and I know that in today's world it is more convenient for Nigerian politicians to tell you that they will build a bridge across Atlantic Ocean and be able afterwards to tell you why it is not possible to fulfill the promise. So when a few days ago, the government came out to tell us that it will make good its promise of paying N5000 to unemployed Nigerian youths, so many questions raced through my mind. For instance, what mechanism has been put in place or what mechanism would the APC put in place to ensure that indeed only the unemployed and poorest people benefit from this money? What parameters will be used in measuring those regarded as poor? Will it not be repeating the same mistakes of the past by enriching a few pockets at the expense of the intended targets? Does the APC or Nigeria have a record or database of the unemployed Nigerian youths and the poor?
If, for example, a graduate who is unemployed today, is set up in business by his family and he becomes gainfully engaged tomorrow, how do we get that update on his change of status and even when the update is made, how are we sure that those who are in charge of disbursing this money would not be tempted to voluntarily continue receiving it on behalf of the once unemployed youth knowing the level of corruption bedeviling the civil service and our society at large? Too many questions to ask but very little answers to give. In carrying on with this initiative, there is no doubt that the Buhari administration wants to create another avenue for scam on a huge scale, which will further destroy the Nigerian economy.
Using the statistics of 2014, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, former finance and coordinating minister of the economy noted that about 1.8 million graduates enter the labour market every year and that no fewer than 5.3 million youths are jobless in the country. Also in 2014, the National Bureau of Statistics put the population of Nigerians living in poverty at 112 million representing about 67 per cent of the country's estimated 167 million persons. If we use this 2014 statistical baseline, the question we must ask ourselves is: Can the Buhari government sustain the payment of N5000 to an estimated target of 112 million Nigerians monthly considering the country's over-dependence on the oil sector and huge recurrent expenditure? At present, about 33 states in the country, including Jigawa, are unable to pay their workers, a situation they have been quick to blame on the dwindling allocation from the Federal Government. Some states owe as much as 8 months of salary arrears. Bearing all these in mind, how sustainable and viable is the initiative?
From my own binoculars, this initiative is largely unachievable and manifestly unrealistic. The great economies of the world were not built like this; on the quicksand of deception and voodoo economics. The great economies of the West and the bullish economies of East Asia were built through dedication, sacrifice and massive commitment for self-denial. These leaders saw their entire country as their constituency and did not apportion political patronages on the basis of voting patterns.
One such leader is Lee Kuan Yew of Singapore. Singapore gained her political independence in 1965 from Britain, five years after Nigeria was granted political independence also by Britain. At the point of her independence, few people gave the new country a chance of survival. As in Nigeria, Britain bequeathed to Singapore a predominantly extractive economy. But today, Singapore has the best airline in the world; the best airports, the busiest port of trade and is numbered as the fourth-highest per capita real income nation.
Singapore was able to rise from the legacy of divisive colonialism, the devastation of the Second World War and general poverty and disorder following the withdrawal of foreign troops from her territory and has today become a typical example of "rags to riches". Lee Kuan Yew, the charismatic leader of Singapore did not get Singapore from the ashes to where it is today merely by borrowing money to pay every unemployed Singaporean youth or the poor. He started by getting the basics right.
What are the basics that we must get right in Nigeria? There is no gainsaying the fact that Nigeria is a hugely endowed country with awesome possibilities. However, we have been less than fortunate in having our own Lee Kuan Yew. For Nigeria to make the much-needed move forward, we have to go back to the basics to seek anew the meaning and essence of our existence. First is that we must get our politics right. If you do not get the politics right, you cannot also get the economy right.
One of the basic things Singapore got right from the beginning was the restructuring of its polity. First, with the pulling out of Britain and its parting of ways with Malaysia, Singapore set out to building genuine national armed forces from the scratch from the welter of ethnicities in the new country. It did not build an ethnic army. So there was implicit confidence among the people that this truly is our army. This cannot be said of Nigeria. The events of 1966 created an opportunity for the creation of northern-dominated armed forces in Nigeria through the premeditated wiping out of senior officers from other tribes especially the Igbos and the south-south officers. As a matter of fact, there was a point, after the civil war, when there was an unwritten declaration that no Igbo should be promoted to the rank of a general in the Nigerian army. Even when this ceiling appears to have been broken, Buhari's recent massive retirement in the military seem to have been targeted only on senior military personnel from the south of the country. His complete northernization of the all security departments in the country today bespeaks of danger and foreboding of disturbing proportions.
Next, the Singaporean leadership went out of its way to create an inclusive economy that emphasized the supremacy of the collective; discarded the extractive system inherited from Britain and weaved a nation out of the diversity of Singapore and instituted a culture of transparency and accountability in government. It is important to note that Singapore, like Nigeria, is a multi-ethnic republican state. The ethnic groups include Europeans, Eurasians, Native Christians, mostly of Portuguese descent, Armenians, Arabs, Malays (including other tribes of the Malay Archipelagos), Bugis (including Balinese), Javanese, Indians and other minority groups like the Cafres, Siamese, Parsis and Jews. Note also that Singapore is a federal state like Nigeria with a Republican Constitution and a one-chamber national assembly based on the Westminster model and a ceremonial head of state just as we had under the 1963 Republican Constitution.
In terms of political structure, Singapore is divided into five Geo-political zones known as Community Development Councils (CDCs) of Central, North-East, North-West, South-East and South-West Singapore. These geopolitical zones or districts are recognized by the country's constitution and are also made up of district and federal constituencies. Power is significantly decentralized and devolved to the federating units. So in essence what Singapore did was to get its political structure correct, which in turn ensured its stability and created enabling environment for the blossoming of the economy.
This is the way forward, which I have consistently preached in this country in the last twenty-five years even at the risk of verbal assault, recrimination and imprisonment. Today we are faced with the inevitability of restructuring this country. No sensible government would just dip hand into the commonwealth and start distributing money to unemployed people all in the name of fulfilling a campaign promise, without recourse to the socio-economic implications of such action. On what parameter is this based? Will it solve unemployment? The answer is no! This initiative is outrageous and is designed to fleece Nigerians and create a perfect recipe for more corruption. More than anything else, this government has done nothing concrete in terms of creating sustainable employment opportunities for jobless Nigerians.
The Government has done nothing in the area of human capital development such as creating the necessary infrastructure for the development of small and medium scale enterprises etc. In all honesty, I am not surprised that the government has failed basically because it is a government concocted in deceit and with hidden ethnic and religious agenda. We need to borrow a leaf from Singapore and initiate a thorough-going process of restructuring.
Unarguably, so much has been said and written on the restructuring of this country. About three constitutional conferences have been convoked in this regard; the last being the one convoked by the past Jonathan administration. The safety valves for the continued existence of this country as a corporate entity are embedded in those reports. They are fresh and can still be sourced the government file cabinets. Why the Muhammadu Buhari administration has vowed to kill those reports worries me.
The truth is that no government can assuage the ethnic and religious agitations in Nigeria and by Nigerians through the sheer force of arm. Therefore, there is need for a round-table renegotiation of the basis of our existence. Until we renegotiate this country, such issues like the Biafran agitation will continue; the restiveness anchored on resource control and ethnic determinism will continue in the Niger-Delta, the subtle but intense preparation for an eventual Oduduwa republic will continue in the south-west; religiously-inspired ethnic cleansing will continue, not just in southern Kaduna but in other parts of this country and Boko Haram insurgency will continue in the far north- the fallacy of crushing it by government notwithstanding.
The renegotiation of the basis of our continued existence is inevitable. That is the only way to go. Time is coming, and it is at hand, when many ethnic groups in Nigeria would refuse anymore calls for negotiation, preferring to opt out of the Nigerian state. Anybody who is saying that the unity of this country is non-negotiable is merely deluding himself or herself. Indeed, if there is anything to negotiate in Nigeria it is the basis of its existence. Make no mistake about this.

NEW YORK, NY (June 7, 2014) — Researchers from Columbia University's Taub Institute for Research on Alzheimer's Disease and the Aging Brain and Departments of Neurology, Epidemiology, and Systems Biology are part of a five-university collaboration receiving a $12.6 million, four-year grant from the National Institute on Aging (NIA), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), to identify rare genetic variants that may either protect against or contribute to Alzheimer's disease risk.
At Columbia, the Consortium for Alzheimer's Sequence Analysis (CASA), is led by principal investigator Richard Mayeux, MD, MSc, chair of neurology and the Gertrude H. Sergievesky Professor of Neurology, Psychiatry and Epidemiology at Columbia University Medical Center. Other Columbia co-investigators include Christiane Reitz, MD, PhD, assistant professor of neurology at the Taub Institute, and Badri Vardarajan, PhD, an assistant professor of bioinformatics in the Departments of Neurology and Systems Biology.
CASA investigators will analyze whole exome and whole genome sequence data generated during the first phase of the NIH Alzheimer's Disease Sequencing Program, an innovative collaboration that began in 2012 between NIA and the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), also part of NIH. They will analyze data from 6,000 volunteers with Alzheimer's disease and 5,000 older individuals who did not have the disease. In addition, they will study genomic data from 111 large families with multiple Alzheimer's disease members, mostly of Caucasian and Caribbean Hispanic descent, to identify rare genetic variants.
Alzheimer's disease, a progressive neurodegenerative disorder, has become an epidemic that currently affects as many as five million people age 65 and older in the United States, with economic costs that are comparable to, if not greater than, caring for those of heart disease or cancer. Available drugs only marginally affect disease severity and progression. While there is no way to prevent the disease, the discovery of genetic risk factors for Alzheimer's is bringing researchers closer to learning how the genes work together and may help identify the most effective interventions.
With the current award, CASA joins the NHGRI Large-Scale Sequencing and Analysis Centers program, an NIH-supported consortium that provides large-scale sequence datasets and analysis to the biomedical community. CASA researchers will facilitate the analyses of all Alzheimer's Disease Sequencing Project (ADSP) and additional non-ADSP sequence data to detect protective and risk variants for Alzheimer disease.
"We are delighted to support the important research being accomplished under this broad-based, collaborative effort. A team effort is vital to advancing a deeper understanding of the genetic variants involved in this complex and devastating disease and to the shared goal of finding targets for effective interventions," said NIH Director Francis Collins.
CASA is a collaboration of Columbia and four other American universities. Jonathan Haines, PhD, will lead the project at Case Western Reserve University; Richard Mayeux, MD, at Columbia University; Margaret Pericak-Vance, PhD, at the University of Miami; Gerard D. Schellenberg, PhD, at the University of Pennsylvania; and Lindsay Farrar, PhD, at Boston University.
This research is supported by the NIA grant (UF1-AG047133).

Negri, Antonio
Pipeline: Letters from Prison
72 pages with an additional page accrued every 11 hours, capped at 72 pages
Four men in a cell in Rebibbia prison, Rome, awaiting trial on serious charges of subversion. One of them, the political thinker Antonio Negri, spends his days writing. Among his writings are twenty letters addressed to a young friend in France letters in which Negri reflects on his own personal development as a philosopher, theorist and political activist and analyses the events, activities and movements in which he has been involved. The letters recount an existential journey that links a rigorous philosophical education with a powerful political passion, set against the historical backdrop of postwar Italy. Crucially, Negri recalls the pivotal moment in 1978 when the former prime minister of Italy, Aldo Moro, was kidnapped and killed by the Red Brigades, and how the institutions then pinned that killing onto him and his associates.
Published here for the first time, these letters offer a unique and invaluable insight into the factors that shaped the thinking of one of the most influential political theorists of our time and they document Negri's role in the development of political movements like Autonomia. They are a vivid testimony to one man's journey through the political upheavals and intellectual traditions of the late 20th century, in the course of which he produced a body of work that has had, and continues to have, a profound impact on radical thought and politics around the world.

Ways to make your Internet safer
The FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Centre processed 298,728 complaints in 2016, with internet users reporting losses of more than $1.3bn (£1bn). And when we see the results for 2017, the year that saw the two biggest ransomware attacks ever, expect those numbers to be even greater.
How to protect yourself from the Wangiri 'missed call' scam
Mobile phone scams are on the rise but it's not always easy to recognise fraudsters' new tactics. There's one mobile phone scam that has recently been catching out a large number of unsuspecting victims – it's called the Wangiri scam. This tactic sees fraudsters dialling from an overseas number then immediately disconnecting the call in the hope that the target will ring back. Victims that do return the call are redirected through an International Premium Rate service, which can cost a fortune for every minute that the call is connected. Some of these calls remain connected - even once the unsuspecting person hangs up - resulting even more charges.

The region of Flanders consists of modern day Belgium, the Netherlands, and France. A distinctive Flemish style emerged in the early 15th century based on manuscript illumination and the work of early Christian artists of the Carolingian period. Artists of the era were commissioned by the church and their art focused on Christian parables, stories and Biblical sermons.
The emergence of Flemish art was somewhat due to the prosperous trade and rapid increase of wealth allowing upper middle class patrons to purchase and commission paintings. Antwerp, present day Belgium, was home to the greatest Flemish artists, including Pieter Bruegel , Rubens and Van Dyck. These painters had a highly individual narrative approach, but all included their own personal spiritual, political, and social messages within their paintings.
Flemish painting is characterized by extraordinary subtlety, attention to detail, vivid colours, and inspired technique. The medium oil painting on panel was invented by Flemish master Jan van Eyck. He is credited with developing illusionist effects , and luminosity with the newly invented oil glazes. This new medium allowed the smooth blending of colors, the use of transparent glazes, and ability to go back in and change the same section over and over again.

self-training & adapting
Our platform provides feedback to business users to verify questionable results or process new streams of data to keep up with the dynamic changes in the real-world data streams.
Ask away. We have nothing to hide.
How are you guys different than other AI solutions on the market?
In a nutshell, our solution is re-usable and scalable. General AI solutions fail when put into production due to the large variability in real-world data types, including but not limited to document length, quality, and layout.
Other customizable AI solutions take a whole team of data scientists and machine-learning engineers to build, and require large amounts of data, which is both expensive and time-consuming. Maintaining these models, then, or even trying to apply these models to other use cases, is an expensive and difficult feat.
SinguAI only requires a small sample of data to establish a functional, baseline model, and can therefore adapt rapidly to new data types. While it may take months to deliver value with other AI solutions, you only need a couple weeks with SinguAI.

Robotics Process Automation (RPA) is a rules-based system using pre-trained "bots" to carry out simple, repetitive tasks across applications (think copy-paste tasks or moving files from one location to another).
Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) enables the automation of data capture, classification, and extraction.
Together, RPA & IDP can be used to scale automation initiatives. IDP can extract and structure document-based data, and RPA can take the newly structured data and transfer it to the proper downstream systems for further analysis.
Isn't this basically OCR?
While you may hear IDP & OCR exchanged interchangeably, we can assure you that they are not the same.
OCR-based solutions are useful for data extraction from simple, structured documents. They are template and rules-based, meaning they cannot adapt to new data types; you would need massive amounts of data to train a new OCR model for that data variation, which is expensive, time-consuming, and unsustainable.
Intelligent Document Processing (IDP), on the other hand, is useful for not only extracting data, but also for understanding it. The way humans read and understand documents, IDP can create insight, and detect context and sentiment from complex unstructured documents.
IDP is powered by machine-learning and can therefore adapt to changes in documents. The value comes from enabling straight-through processing and providing greater business insight, ROI, and contextual information.

Can an average business user really operate the platform by themselves?
Yes, they can! Our mission here at Singularity is to make AI accessible to all, which is why we designed the platform for the average business analyst who has little-to-no technical experience. Our UI is simple and straightforward; users need only provide a small sample of labelled files to define model requirements, and our AI will take care of the rest. Singularity aims to automate as much of the model building & training process as possible.
What is Real-Time AI?
Our patented "Real-Time AI" is the only real-time AI technology in the market. Normally, it takes massive amounts of data to train a functional AI model that can process a desired document.
Our real-time AI technology is built into our SinguAI platform so that after labelling just one document, our AI learns and kicks in. This greatly reduces the work for the user in the building phase of model training, and is another reason why we enable faster time-to-market value.


Radio talk show muffin head Michael Weiner, AKA Michael Savage sunk to a new low, even for him as he lambasted autistic kids and their parents during an on - air rant last week. His version was, as usual, short of facts but long on appeal to his target audience - pissed off middle class, barely educated individuals who, instead of looking for ways to repair things, seek only to feed their anger. Usually, the rants have targeted ethnic groups or political opposites. This is the first time he's taken on autistic people.
I'm disabled, as some of you know quite well. It doesn't take much to cause Mr. Weiner to spout off at just about anyone. But in his zeal to blame someone for America's woes, why has he never performed the most obvious method? Try looking in the mirror, Mr. Weiner. As you continually seek to find new ways to polarize entire groups of people, and make headlines doing it, you bring to mind the propoganda machines of pre - WWII Germany, in which institutionalized hatred of entire segments of people brought forth disastrous results. One might think we'd be a little more enlightened these days, eh?
Without getting too deep, here's what I propose. I'm not among those asking for your removal from the airwaves. But I have choices too. Mr. Weiner has a powerful soapbox from which to spew because he has big money sponsors supporting him. It's easy to listen for awhile and hear who the sponsors are, or just take a look at the many websites who name the sponsors with hopes good people will simply avoid buying from them.
But, Mr. Weiner, it's one thing to pick on kids who can't help themselves or answer your complaints. I sit here in my wheelchair and offer this challenge to you - I'll come to your studio and we'll arm wrestle, make it a contest. You pick which arm (I'm left handed, so you might think you'll gain an advantage by picking right), and if you lose, you pick up your toys and go home. Leave the airwaves. For good.
Meanwhile, even though I used to buy stuff one of your major sponsors produces, I will do so no more. I want to hear from you, Mr. Weiner. I'm sure you're tough enough to take on a 53 year old in a wheelchair. Let's see you put your money where your mouth is, instead of blowing hatred from every oriface each time you're on the air.
You have a problem with that? Let me know. You know where to find me, and if you don't thousands of good people do. Hope to hear from you, Mr. Weiner.

What an ordeal! I was a first time mom and I had twins. I was a hot mess, scratch that, I was just a mess of a person. I barely slept, I couldn't think and I was doing my best to breastfeed two little babies.
Here is part 1 of our series: What I wish someone told me!
Breastfeeding twins can be very difficult, but very fulfilling. In this video we will learn about breastfeeding twins.
So before you make any decisions, be sure to focus on why you're breastfeeding and why it's important not just for your baby, but for you, too. Breastfeeding creates bonds, it's healthy for your little one and it helps prevent picky eating.
Breastfeeding offers many positive benefits; one of which is that it helps build strong bonds between you and your child. A hormone is released during breastfeeding that amplifies motherly instincts and makes you feel closer and responsible for your child.
Recent studies have proven that breastfeeding kids can play a role in creating a kid's food preferences.
You can also use both breasts. You may favor one, but it's important to use both.
So as you can see, you can work through this. There are just so many benefits to breastfeeding; benefits for you, for your little one and for the relationship you're building together!


See two below for teach-in person avail 3-4 tom (mon) and before 3 on tues, she'll need shooters. Remember, you don't necessarily have to edit your own shoot, there is support for you.
I've cc'ed Andrew here. He's the only person I know on Media. We can make an announcement in the park before it starts and get it up on one of the group pages with help from info. We can also get it on the bulletin board. The physical one at info.
I just heard back from this women interested in doing the teach-in. Her only times available are 3-4 tomorrow and before 3 Tuesday. Unfortunately i will be working. Im waiting to hear back from Seth about taping tomorrow. He has off so he should be available whereas Tuesday he will not be. We can see if someone from media could cover it then. Do you think you could send out an email to everyone on the mailing list to see who might be around tomorrow? I would say we need someone to help facilitate the teach-in, meet with Amy, pick a location to start, get the word out, and starting the people's mic etc. Let me know what you think and I will get back to you soon with more info.
I can do a teach in at around 3 or 4pm tomorrow, and start any time before 3 on Tuesday. Video and audio are ok with me. I have info in mind for strategies to keep warm, but if you have any specific problems that you see that need to be addressed, let me know.
I'm a friend of Andys and he brought to my attention that you were looking to do a teach-in on camping in winter weather at occupy wall st. I'm working with the winter survival group and we have been looking to bring in others to discuss the facts and logistics of camping out in winter weather as it will be getting very cold here at zucatti very soon. Would you be able to do a teach in either Monday and/or Tuesday? If so what times would work best for you. We would be shooting video and recording audio for this event (granted you are willing) to help dispense this information to other occupiers. You can get in touch with me either by email or phone at 215-350-8535. Thank you and I hope to hear back soon.

Treasure Planet (DVD)
Joseph Gordon-Levitt, David Murray, David Hyde Pierce, Emma Thompson, Michael Wincott, … 1
Disney's animated sci-fi version of Robert Louis Stevenson's classic adventure tale 'Treasure Island'. When he is given a star map with directions to a remote planet where space pirates store their treasure, Jim Hawkins realises this is his chance to embark on a life of adventure and signs himself up as a crew member on the spaceship R.L.S. Legacy. The Legacy soon blasts off in search of the Treasure Planet, but it is not long before rumours of mutiny begin to spread, with the part-cyborg Long John Silver leading the way.
The Princess and the Frog (DVD)
John Goodman, Anika Noni Rose, Oprah Winfrey, Keith David, Terrence Howard, … 1
The classic fairytale gets an updated twist in Disney's animated musical comedy set in the French quarter of the city of New Orleans. Transformed into a frog by the evil voodoo man Dr Facilier (Keith David), Prince Naveen (Bruno Campos) from the land of Maldonia goes in search of a princess to break the spell. He finds a young African-American girl called Tiana (Anika Noni Rose) and, mistaking her for a princess, asks her for a restorative kiss. Things, however, don't go to plan when the kiss only succeeds in changing Tiana into a frog too. Together, the two unfortunate amphibians go in search of Mama Odie (Jenifer Lewis), the good voodoo priestess of the Bayou. As they make their way through the mystical bayous of Louisiana, they encounter new friends in the form of Louis (Michael-Leon Wooley), a trumpet-playing alligator, and Ray (Jim Cummings), a hopelessly romantic firefly. The film's music comes from the Oscar-winning Randy Newman.

Intrigued, the Doctor discovers that his own face is carved on a local rock face, reputed to be the home of the god Xoanon. Is the Doctor in some way responsible for Xoanon's presence, and can he prevent tribal warfare from breaking out? Also included is Louise Jameson's appearance on 'Swap Shop' to publicise her debut as Leela.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ for Kids (Paperback)
Still Fighting for Gemma (Hardcover)
Susan D'Arcy, Rob Edwards
At the age of three, Gemma D'Arcy was diagnosed as having a rare and incurable form of leukaemia. This book is the story of how her mother, Susan, struggled to save Gemma's life. It is also the story of how an environmental crime has allegedly been perpetrated on the British public by the British nuclear industry. Gemma was born in West Cumbria, one of the most radioactively-contaminated areas in the world. Susan became more and more convinced that radiation from the nearby Sellafield plant where her husband worked was the cause of Gemma's disease. This book recounts Susan's public battles, her anger and sorrow and her struggle to have the hazards of nuclear reprocessing plants eliminated. Gemma died in 1990 at the age of six.
Life Divine - A Tale of Love, Loss, and an Old Volvo (Paperback)
Rob Edwards, Phil Edwards
If ever he'd taken a step back to re-evaluate, maybe Harry Jones would have noticed the little things going on in the world, like his teenage daughter's pregnancy, his wife's impending affair, his mother's ill health, and his son becoming a jobless dreamer. Instead, he engrosses himself in the next band contest, the fight against Midtown's Bandroom being demolished, fundraising for the forthcoming trip to France, and the endless quest for that "perfect sound." The difference between passion and obsession is acceptance. Like the music he loves, there are highs and lows in this particular year of Harry Jones' life as the bitter-sweet comedy unfolds. His band is enjoying more success than ever, while the Jones household is a different story. As his two children suddenly find their destinies approaching faster than either of them could have imagined, his wife also finds herself wondering if she should in fact be dancing to a different tune. Experience the sights, the sounds, the very smells of a year in a rural Welsh town, through the eyes of its residents, their friends and foes.
