House Proposes 8-Month Transpo Bill In Hopes for a Republican Senate in 2015
By Tanya Snyder
While a six-year Senate transportation bill languishes in partisan purgatory, the House Ways and Means Committee has proposed an eight-month patch that would backfill the Highway Trust Fund until May 31, 2015. That would punt the transportation bill debate until a new Congress takes over — one that's expected to have Republican majorities in both chambers.

Ways and Means Chair Dave Camp earlier proposed "business tax reform" to fund transportation — as did President Obama — but even those powerful champions on both sides of the aisle weren't enough to get traction on that idea.
The new Ways and Means proposal abandons both that idea and the Republican scheme to use post office cuts to offset losses to the Highway Trust Fund (which also funds transit and active transportation infrastructure, by the way). Instead, it opts for a smattering of fiscal gimmicks and fees unrelated to transportation with a previous record of success in the Senate.
Meanwhile, Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR), chair of the Senate Finance Committee, is trying to get the full chamber to consider his extension bill, the PATH Act — that stands for Preserving America's Transit and Highways — which has its own complex web of pay-fors.
While the Senate bill has been larded up with amendments that are unlikely to go anywhere, neither bill, at its core, includes any policy changes. Both are just stopgap funding fixes, and substantially similar ones at that.
The only substantive difference between the House and Senate proposals is the length. Wyden's bill would require further action after the elections (as lawmakers agree is necessary) but before the new Congress is seated. Ways and Means Chair Dave Camp explained in a statement why he opposes that plan:
[A]ny effort that just goes to the end of this year will only lead to another backroom deal during the lame-duck session where only a very few Members are present or have any say in the matter. I've been in that room enough, and it is time for the Committees and the entire House and Senate to have the full influence they deserve.
Another benefit: By next May, Dave Camp will be comfortably retired and won't have the Highway Trust Fund on his conscience anymore.
Sens. Barbara Boxer and Tom Carper called the plan "dangerous" and "disastrous" and said a six-year bill needs to pass this year.
So Camp's bill would kick the ball further down the road until spring, when the GOP will likely — according to current forecasts — control both chambers of Congress. That scenario would make it far easier for Republicans to pass a transportation bill.
What would that bill look like? Camp makes clear that it won't include the one necessary component to sustaining the Highway Trust Fund: a gas tax increase of 10 to 15 cents a gallon.
What troubles me most about a December 31, 2014 date are those using it as a ploy to stick the American people with a massive increase in the gas tax – just about the worst tax increase Congress could hit hardworking Americans with. So, I am seeking the reasonable middle ground of the end of May 2015.
Some middle ground. Chronologically, sure, it's somewhere between three months and six years. But it does exactly what the Democrats want least: eliminate any power they might have over the final bill, if the GOP manages to pass one.
What would that bill look like? Even the post office idea would provide less than a year's worth of funding. GOP lawmakers could return to their old idea of funding transportation with oil drilling revenues.
At least Republicans have backpedaled on previous assertions that instead of raising more revenue to match spending, spending should be reduced to match revenue. The GOP now recognizes that as a losing argument.
In truth, history isn't much of a guide as to what the Republicans might do. Remember, the House didn't even pass a bill last time around.

Moment of England striker Jadon Sancho (white shirt), trying to dribble past Ukraine national team players in EURO 2020 quarter-final match.
BOLASPORT.COM – The trust given by the England coach, Gareth Southgate, to Jadon Sancho paid off with the player who performed extraordinary.
Jadon Sancho finally got the chance to play from the first minute for the England national team.
The opportunity came in the England national team match against the Ukrainian national team in the quarter-finals.
In a match that England won 4-0 thanks to goals from Harry Kane (4′, 50′), Harry Maguire (46′) and Jordan Henderson (63′) Jadon Sancho played the full game.

Q: Use variables from different controllers I am working on a ROR project. I have a navigation bar on the website which rendered from a few of controllers. I realized that it is not safe to use a @my_name from one of the controllers. Because this variable only appears in that controller instead of all.
Is there a way to get the same information without calling that variable directly?
Foo class
  def name_params
    params.require(:id)
  end

  @my_name = name_params
end

In the view:

Q: Are random effects used for explanatory variables measured with inaccuracy or for explanatory variables designating a subset of groups? Quote
I am reading from Quinn and Keough's book. In chapter Correlation and Regression, section Fixed X, at page 94, they say

Linear regressions analysis assumes that the $x_i$ are known constants, i.e. they are fixed values controlled or set by the investigator with no variance associated with them. A linear model in which the predictor variables are fixed is known as Model I or a fixed effects model. This will often be the case in designed experiments where the levels of X are treatments chosen specifically. In these circumstances, we would commonly have replicate Y-values for each $x_i$ and X may well be a qualitative variable, so analyses that compare mean values of treatment groups might be more appropriate [..]. The fixed X assumption is probably not met for most regression analyses in biology because X and Y are usually both random variables recorded from a bivariate distribution. For example, Peake and Quinn (1993) did not choose mussel clumps of fixed areas but took a haphazard sample of clumps from the shore [..].

Question
I used to think of that variables that should be integrated as random effects are those for which measurements was made with some level of inaccuracy and I am not sure this is what this quote is referring to. My question is
Are random effects used for explanatory variables measured with inaccuracy or for explanatory variables designating a subset of groups that are sampled?
Note that I am a little bit confused in how to think of these concepts in both the contexts of linear regressions and ANOVAs.
I would like to clarify my misunderstandings via two examples.
Example 1
Alice scuba dived, looked for anemones and for each one of them she measured their size and their depth. The question is "Does depth affect anemonea size?".
I can think of two potential reasons why depth should be modelled as a random effect:

*

*Because the depth was measured with some inaccuracy (specific to the depth meter Alice used)

*Because Alice has not exhaustively (and in the right proportions) sampled all the possible depths of interest.
Example 2
Alice went on the sea shore and randomly sampled mussel clumps. For each clump sampled, she counted the number of individual mussels and the number of species of mussels. The question is "Is the number of species of mussels affecting the number of individuals".
The counts are perfectly known (no inaccuracy in the measurement). From the above quote, I can still think of a reason why Alice should model the explanatory variable as a random effect; Alice haphazardly sampled clumps and a future study could have sampled different clumps. If all the clumps were sampled, then Alice should use a fixed effect model.

A: The term "random effect" does not mean "something that is random", it refers to something in a hierarchical or mixed model that is not a population-level effect.
Suppose I have some adorable newborn Great Dane puppies, and I feed them a special puppy supplement that I think will help them grow larger than they would without the supplement. I give different puppies different doses, and I measure their weights when they're grown and fit a model of "weight = intercept + beta*supplement_dose". My intercept here is the expected weight of a puppy who was not given the supplement, and my slope is "the increase in weight per unit dose of supplement".
Now, suppose I do this with multiple litters of Great Dane puppies. Due to factors like their parents' genetics and their mothers' nutrition during pregnancy, some of the litters have bigger puppies than others. Littermates are more alike with each-other than with other puppies, so I no longer have independence of observations - if I fit a regular linear model here, I will calculate the variance incorrectly and my standard errors and p-values will be wrong.
So I add a random effect for litter, specifically a random intercept. This means that now in addition to the model having its overall intercept (a fixed effect) each litter also gets its own separate intercept to account for the fact that some litters have bigger puppies than other litters. My fixed effect intercept is now kind of a weird averaged-across-litters expected weight of a puppy not given supplement. But since that differs by litter, I have to add the litter-specific intercept to get the expected weight of a puppy from litter #7 who was not given supplement (which may be different from the expected weight of a puppy from litter #3 who was not given supplement). The random intercept for litter #7 is "the effect of being in litter #7 on the weight of a puppy". It has no meaning at the population level, but because it is part of the structure of my data I have to account for it or I will miscalculate the variance of other things in the model.
Random intercepts aren't the only kind of random effect. Suppose I did the same experiment again, but this time I used litters from different breeds. I have a litter of Great Danes, a few mixed-breed litters of various ancestries, and a litter of Chihuahuas. If they all gain three pounds per gram of supplement, I am going to end up with some really big Chihuahuas... more likely, I may find that while the Great Danes gain 3 pounds per gram of supplement, the Chihuahuas gain 0.25 pounds per gram of supplement, and each mixed-breed litter gains different amounts of weight too. So the slope of weight gain relative to supplement dose now also differs between litters. I can add a random effect for slope to allow slope to vary between litters like that, while still being able to look at my overall question "does the supplement make puppies bigger?"
The important thing with random effects is that they're usually something that's meaningless at the population level. "The effect of being in litter #7 on weight of puppy." There is never going to be another litter #7 exactly like that with exactly the same effect on puppy size again. It's something meaningless/random that I can't make any useful inferences about, but that I still have to account for in order to correctly model the situation.

Could insects offer a new sustainable food source? And if so what cultural prejudices would need to be overcome before insects could form a part of our daily diet? These were just some of the questions addressed by Lara Hanlon, winner of the much coveted 'New Star Award' at the Shenzhen Design Award for Young Talents competition. Lara will receive her $5,000 prize at an event in Shenzhen next February where her project will be exhibited with other category winners.
Lara is a recent graduate of the Visual Communications programme, at Institute of Art, Design and Technology, Dun Laoghaire (IADT). Her final year multi-disciplinary design project éntomo was selected to represent Dublin city in the Shenzhen Design competition.
The Shenzhen Design Award was organised by the city of Shenzhen in China as part of its UNESCO City of Design programme and attracted high calibre entries from established professionals and graduate designers from around the world.
Shenzhen invited Dublin, as a UNESCO City of Literature, to participate through the UNESCO Creative Cities Alliance. Dublin's Public Libraries administer the very successful UNESCO City of Literature Programme. A competition to select entries from Dublin was organised jointly by the City of Literature Office together with the Council's design promotion initiative, PIVOT Dublin, which invited submissions through its network and assembled a panel of assessors. The assessors, which included Barry Sheehan, Head of Design at DIT and graphic designer Mary Doherty of Red Dog, decided on three entries to go forward for the final judging in Shenzhen.
"Lara's success in representing Dublin in the Shenzhen Design Award is a fantastic example of how the UNESCO City of Literature designation can provide a platform and recognition for other creative practices in Dublin", says Margaret Hayes, Dublin City Librarian.
The purpose of the 'New Star Award' is to reward the ideas of young designers, who, through their innovation and designs, have contributed to the enhancement of environmental sustainability, social and economic development and, above all, quality of lives in our cities.
Lara's award in Shenzhen is further recognition for the design programme at IADT, which is currently the only Irish institution on the list of the top 100 European Design Schools.

September 11, 2001 — CWA Remembers
By CWALAC StaffSeptember 3, 2004National Sovereignty
[Click here for audio]
As we pause to remember the events of September 11, 2001, and the lives lost, it is comforting to hear the stories of faith and triumph that put those events into God's larger plan. Here we bring you a couple of stories of hope, perseverance and victory that have unfolded since the day of the attack.
Pictured above, the National September 11 Memorial honors the 2,983 men, women and children who perished in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The 9/11 Memorial opened on the 10th anniversary of the attacks. It consists of the Freedom Tower, the 9/11 Memorial museum and two reflection pools set in the footprints of the original Twin Towers. The 9/11 Memorial's mission is to commemorate the lives lost, recognizes the thousands who survived, allow visitors to come together again in the spirit of unity that emerged in the wake of 9/11 and, above all, recognize America's commitment to preserve freedom and liberty.
Beauty Beyond the Ashes
Cheryl McGuinness suffered unbearable loss on September 11, 2001. Her high school sweetheart and husband Tom was the co-pilot of American Airlines Flight 11 the first plane to strike the twin towers. Suddenly, she was without the strong, gentle and faithful man who led her family and her two teenage children had lost their father. Today, Cheryl is reaching out in ministry to women everywhere who have suffered crippling losses through her ministry www.beautybeyondtheashes.com. She also has published a book by the same name, through Howard Publishing Co. Cheryl dropped by our studios and spoke with Martha Kleder. Click here to listen.
Cheryl is available for speaking engagements, and also for one-on-one ministry though her website.
It's OK to Cry
John Yates was at work at the Pentagon on the morning of 9-11. As he gathered with his co-workers around the television watching the events in New York, his life changed forever. John was an ordinary man, who became a hero that day by leading survivors to safety. His hero status continued as he underwent years of physical therapy, and encouraged others by his example to live life one day and one step at a time. The phrase "It's OK to Cry" is the title of John's story, now published as a children's book on dealing with overwhelming tragedy. Martha Kleder spoke with John, and Meg Bragg, a friend of the family and author of "It's OK to Cry."
We were able to connect with John Yates, right where he was on the morning of September 11, 2001; at work in the Pentagon…. Click here to listen.
Meg Bragg is a former school teacher and a friend of the Yates family. Inspired by the card from the school girl, she took John's story and turned it into a book for children on how they can deal with tragedy. Click here to listen.
"It's OK to Cry" by Meg Bragg is published by Xlibris, a subsidiary of Random House. Proceeds from sale of the book go to a fund for the Yates family.
Through the Fire into Ministry
Lt. Col. Brian Birdwell, USA (Ret.) was at work in the Pentagon on the day terrorists attacked sending a ball of fire through his duty area. Of the burns that covered over 60 percent of his body, nearly half were third-degree burns. Three years, over 30 operations, and multiple skin grafts later, Brian and his wife Melva have moved on. Now retired from the Army, the Birdwells have started a new ministry to other burn victims called Face the Fire. Martha Kleder spoke with Brian and Mel on this phoenix ministry. Click here to listen.

So many fellow authors love the Penderwicks that I really must read at least one of the books!
When you do, please let me know what you think of it!
I have loved the prior books and your review makes me want to read this one immediately.
I'm so glad it had that effect, Susan.


I woke to snow-silence on Friday. This is a different kind of silence from simple absence of sound; it has a different texture. It snowed from 7pm on Thursday to midday on Saturday – without respite.
Yes, I know London got 5 inches – I've seen pictures – and the city came to a halt. We had snow-cancellations here too – but that was with 22 inches in Boulder and nearly 40 here.
What are the ideal conditions for introspection, thinking, writing, being? When are individuals at their most creative?
Some people write more when depressed, others find writing deserts them at such times.
What are the ideal conditions to foster creative or reflective writing? How do you nurture that relationship? What do you need? Is it solitude or bustle? Inside or out?
Write a dialogue with solitude.
As I look out of the window again – that could be snow…..
Thank you for this evocative picture of the Yorkshire countryside in snow – I know exactly what you are describing, I can see it. A wonderful example of 'A view from my window' – it would make a good practice each day – 70 words on the view from your window.
It's snowing again here and the silence grows as the view disappears.
Loved this consideration of silence and refelection. Here the snow brings movement and noise – a much busier, always accessible, urban scene. Outside my window the snow on the Bole Hills invited small and medium and large bodies, pulling and pushing their sledges. They had many ways out. Their dark-coloured clothing wove slow/fast dances on the hillside, which compacted and disturbed the white. Now it lies silent, mottled with green, crossed by occasional dogs and their walkers.

Addiction Treatment 'Whelming' Is a Really Annoying Thing People Keep Doing on Dating Apps
Erasmo Block
"Whelming" is an annoying new dating app trend.
It's when a match continuously talks about being overwhelmed by the number of other matches they have.
The term "whelming" was coined by Patia Braithwaite in an op-ed for SELF.
Perhaps you've had an interaction of this sort on a dating app before. You match with somebody, and so you send them a message to say hi. That is how these things are done, after all. Then maybe you don't hear back from them, so you think, Oh well, never mind. Then they do respond, and they're apologetic about their delay in getting back to you, and they say they are struggling to cope with the inundation of matches and messages their profile is getting.
OK, so… it's a little humblebraggy, but whatever. You forge on with the conversation. But again and again, they're slow to reply and admit to being preoccupied with all the other people they're having (undoubtedly equally one-sided) conversations with. It can be a disheartening experience, as it's hard not to feel like you're being kept on the bench as a backup plan, but equally, it makes you think: is this person actually connecting with anybody if they're stretched as thinly as they profess?
Addiction Treatment This irritating behavior is known as "whelming."
Patia Braithwaite coined the term "whelming" in a SELF op-ed to describe this increasingly commonplace, incredibly rude behavior."You wouldn't approach someone in a bar and say, 'Wow, 37 other people in this bar have expressed interest in me. I'm so overwhelmed,'" she wrote. "So why would it ever be okay to do something so incredibly awkward in the liminal space that is online dating?"
Subscribe to Men's Health
You don't even have to be actively chatting with somebody for whelming to rear its ugly head; I've read countless profiles where an individual apologizes in advance if they're slow to reply to messages, on account of how many they receive. Whenever I see this, I take it as an indicator of the quality of interaction I'm probably going to have with this person.
I'm not saying whelming is irredeemable, or the sign of a bad person, but it is rude. Maybe these people are just being honest, and genuinely think it's a normal thing to say, with no awareness of how they are coming across. Which is a red flag of its own when you think about how that speaks to their general consideration for other people's feelings.
But could something more insidious be at play? What if they're doing it intentionally?
Whelming has a lot in common with negging, the practice of undermining someone's confidence by paying them backhanded compliments, which was popularized by so-called "pick up artists."
In the case of whelmers, instead of belittling or denigrating something about the other person, they are bigging up themselves, albeit in a casual, offhand manner: "I wish I had more time and attention to dedicate to you, but I'm just so in demand with all these other people!"
The end results of whelming and negging are remarkably similar: they're aiming to place themselves on higher ground, and create some kind of skewed power dynamic where the other person feels fortunate to be given a chance with such a popular, desirable suitor.
Whether or not someone is whelming on purpose, it's worth noting that nobody on a dating app wants to hear how many other people you're matching, chatting or flirting with. We're all on these platforms for a reason, and we all have matches and messages from different people. You don't score points by referencing yours, but you definitely lose points if you use them as some kind of excuse not to really make an effort with the person you're talking to.

Coca-Cola Unveils New Christmas Campaign Under ¨Real Magic¨ Platform
Coca-Cola unveiled its 2021 holiday campaign under the new "Real Magic" global brand platform. This year, Coke is making quite the splash, with Coca-Cola's iconic Santa appearing for the first time IRL via a partnership with Cameo, a festive "Caravan" fleet traveling across North America to spread cheer (and samples) and a heartwarming global TVC spot.
In line with the Coca-Cola Marketing Strategy announced by the beverage company earlier this year,
the brand is executing a new campaign celebrating the real magic of community and togetherness that is synonymous with the Holiday season. Launched in September, the Real Magic global brand philosophy and platform for Coca-Cola invites everyone to celebrate the real magic of humanity by refreshing its trademark promise – to unite and uplift people all over the world in the every day – with renewed relevance for today's world.
Rooted in New TVC
Real Magic at Christmas", which is rooted in a simple message of festive joy and inclusion, features a short film supported by a series of digital activations. The uplifting film shows a boy whose imagination and holiday spirit summon a community's goodwill and create a shared moment of magic over a festive meal and a Coke. Created by dentsuMB UK and directed by Sam Brown of Rogue Films, the 2 ½-minute film and a series of shorter versions will be available in more than 90 countries, including the United States and Canada where it will premiere on Nov. 15 on TV, online and in cinemas.
The spot (video below) is an uplifting tale about a boy whose imagination gathers a community's goodwill at Christmas, creating a shared moment of magic around a festive meal and a Coke.
Coca-Cola Marketing Strategy: Modernized and Personalized via Cameo Partnership
In North America, "Real Magic at Christmas" will include a unique partnership with online fan connection platform Cameo. For the first time in Coke history, Coca-Cola's iconic Santa is making his IRL debut on the Cameo platform with virtual appearances and personalized videos available to consumers across North America. Fans can spread real magic to family and friends by:
Requesting a personalized Cameo video from Santa Coke.com/holiday-hub through Nov. 16. Videos are offered in English, Spanish or French.
Joining a live virtual event on 12/1 (to kick off 25 days of Christmas), where Santa will introduce the Real Magic short film and celebrity guests will pop in for the ultimate holiday surprise gathering.
Localized with a cross-country Caravan
Speaking of "Santa in IRL", the Coca-Cola Holiday Caravan, which has been spreading real magic across the country since 1997, returns in 2021 with multiple stops throughout the U.S. and Canada this holiday season. A large branded red truck decked out in thousands of sparkling lights and holiday décor provides the ultimate backdrop for free pictures with Santa, and will deliver donations to local charities and organizations. The festive experience provides the ultimate backdrop for pictures with Santa, where families can receive a free printed photo to take home and enjoy the new Coca-Cola Zero Sugar. The caravan will stop at local hospitals and Good Will locations to make donations, starting on November 17th. For more information and a calendar of stops, visit https://us.coca-cola.com/holiday-hub.
Complemented with Holiday Packaging

What are silk gloves?
Silk gloves are a new product category from the Silk City, a brand that started in California and expanded to New York City.
Their main selling point is the material's flexibility.
They can be used to cover any kind of glove and don't require special tools to be made.
The downside is that they're a bit bulky.
Silk gloves can also be quite pricey, at about $2,000.
Silk City's latest offering is the Silk Touch Minecraft, which is made of a lightweight nylon, but with the added benefit of being soft and flexible.
The Silk Touch is also available in two colors, white and silver.
The company claims that its gloves are made with the finest materials available.
"Silk Touch gloves are soft, flexible and durable.
We are passionate about using our materials in our hands," the company wrote on its website.
"They are made from lightweight nylon.
They are a perfect fit for gloves and a perfect glove for the outdoors."
The gloves are designed to be worn with a rubber band to help hold your hand in place, while they are also covered in a layer of synthetic fabric.
The gloves can be purchased in two sizes: small and medium.
"With a size medium glove, you can comfortably hold up to 6.5 grams of gloves without needing to take off gloves," the SilkTouch website says.
The glove comes in two varieties: a regular and a soft.
A regular glove is about the size of a small, while a soft glove is around the size and thickness of a medium.
They come in three colors: white, black, and silver, as well as a black version with a silvery lining.
The price of the gloves ranges from $250 to $400.
The most expensive Silk Touch gloves can go for $1,300, but the price will likely go up as they expand to other cities.
The first Silk Touch glove was made by the Japanese company IGS.
They were first sold in Japan in 2003, and since then, more than 1,400 versions of the glove have been made.
There are several different versions of Silk Touch, each with its own benefits and drawbacks.
Some Silk Touch models come with extra padding, but those are optional.
For example, the Silk T-Spot comes with a fabric patch for the wearer to mark his or her location on the map.
There's also a pocket in the glove, but it doesn't seem to have any real use.
IGS sells a glove that uses a fabric that doesn't feel as soft as the gloves, and the IGS version has a more robust feel.
You can also get gloves made with more fabric, but that costs a bit more, as you'd need to buy extra patches or fabric patches for each glove you buy.

Imo gov tussle: Ihedioha, Uzodinma know fate today as Supreme Court rules
Uche Emmanuel January 13, 2020 Politics No Comments
The Imo State governor, Emeka Ihedioha of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and Senator Hope Uzodinma of the All Progressives Congress, APC will know fate today as the Supreme Court rules on the Imo governorship tussle.
There is tension among residents of Imo State on Monday morning, January 13, particularly, in government circles, as the Supreme Court prepares to rule on the governorship election in the state.
Currently, there is a mixture of hope and anxiety as residents wait for the ruling of the Supreme Court concerning the state's governorship election.
But both sides expressed optimism that the judgment would favour them.
The battle is between Senator Hope Uzodinma of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Governor Emeka Ihedioha of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
While the PDP expressed belief that the judgment would be delivered in its favour, the APC is hopeful that it would defeat the former.
It was gathered that the APC and the PDP expressed confidence that their candidates would be declared victorious.
The APC permutation is lately re-in enforced by the recent prediction of Rev Father Ejike Mbaka who had said in his prophecy that Uzodinma will take over reins of leader ship in the state from the incumbent PDP-led government of Ihedioha.
Although Mbaka said he could not explain how it would happen, he however told a shocked congregation that his prophecy would come to pass because others delivered on the same prayer grounds in the past did the same.
Since that prediction, the state has been in confusion as both party members and supporters have taken to consulting prayer houses on the judgment. Some supporters of PDP have taken to facebook to express their feelings over the case.
According to a philanthropist, Princess Ogbuefi Ezinwa: "I am extremely tensed about Monday Supreme Court judgment more than many Governor Ihedioha's appointees. My party, my people and the entire Imolites, God please keep us all alive to be a witness, in Jesus name I pray."
The state publicity secretary of APC, Barrister Enyinnaya Onuegbu however expressed confidence that evidence so far shows that Senator Uzodinma won the election.
Efforts to get the publicity secretary of PDP, Damian Oparah proved abortive as he could not pick several calls put across to him.
However, an official of PDP who pleaded not to be mentioned, said that the party is optimistic but not without some anxiety over the case.
"We are praying that the judgment goes in our favour but we are not at peace with the situation," he said.
However, the Police Command said its men are fully set for the outcome of the judgment of the Supreme Court.
The state PPRO, SP Orlando Ikeokwu, said that the command is fully prepared though the judgment would be delivered in Abuja, adding that the command is working with other security agencies to ensure that there was break down of law and order,
He also advised the people to freely go about their businesses without fear of intimidation or molestation.
"We also warn other parties involved to maintain decorum. If you must rejoice or jubilation you must do that with respect. Somebody is bound to lose but there is an opportunity for next time."
