Equal Time: Lionel Messi's sixth Ballon d'Or settles GOAT debate

No other player has won six Ballons d'Or in their career.

It all began when Cristiano Ronaldo won his first Ballon d'Or in 2008. In becoming the first Premier League player to claim the award, he made history, claiming it on the back of a successful season in which he won the Champions League title with Manchester United.
A year later, Barcelona stormed United in the final in Rome. Samuel Eto'o and Andres Iniesta scored the goals in a 2-0 victory but Messi's work over the entire campaign was rewarded with the Ballon d'Or that year to kick-start what has grown to become the greatest rivalry between two players in football history. No one else won the award for a decade. Messi raced ahead over the next few years but Ronaldo caught up with him at five triumphs in 2017. Fans continue to split their opinions as to which is the better player.
When Luka Modric emerged victorious at the FIFA award's gala last year, it looked like a new dawn had arrived. Fans thought the battle was over. Messi had other ideas. Unwilling to settle for a draw, Leo produced a perfect response to his omission from the 2018 shortlist. He took his game to an extraordinary level last season, tearing opposition defences to pieces in the Champions League and at the domestic level. He finished as the top scorer in La Liga and across Europe's top-five leagues with 36 goals from 34 appearances. His 12 Champions League goals also led the way in that tournament. The Argentine concluded the term with the most assists in Europe [22] and was highly influential as Barcelona defended their Liga title. Although the Blaugrana slumped at the end of the term, dropping the Copa del Rey and falling to Liverpool in the Champions League semifinal, his brilliance was enough to overshadow that setback.
Courtesy of those efforts, Messi was able to defeat Redsdefender Virgil Van Dijk and his eternal rival, Ronaldo, to claim the Ballon d'Or award a sixth time. That triumph represents a massive feat for him in his long-standing rivalry with his Portuguese rival.
The Barca captain now has six Ballon d'Or honours in his cabinet, one more than Ronaldo. It all but settles the debate between the two superstars. The Ballon d'Or is the most coveted individual award in football. By going one ahead of his counterpart, the Barca maestro has proved once again that he has no equal. He's taken a well-deserved lead and it doesn't look like there will be any upset anytime.
Let's not forget that Messi is already 32 and Ronaldo is 34. The bitter truth needs to be accepted. Neither has many more years to spend at the top. This might be the last hurrah for both.
Some may argue the Portuguese can catch his counterpart once again. Those talks lack a solid base when you consider how much the Juventus talisman has declined in the past few years. Ronaldo hasn't reached 30 league goals for the past three years. Even in his favoured Champions League, he only recorded six goals last season.
Messi stands the better chance of adding to his tally. The Argentine is in an extraordinary form right now. following up on last term when he bagged 51 goals and 22 assists, he's taken off once again with 11 and eight from 14 appearances this term. Either way, he has already proved he is the GOAT.

On a balmy Thursday afternoon in 2009, my life changed. It was approximately 4:00 pm and my son, who had just turned 3 a week before, was napping. I remember the hum of the cicadas in the trees outside and the constant groaning of the air conditioner as it struggled to keep up with the Arizona heat. Seated at the computer desk, working on who knows what, I soaked up the peace that is a toddler's nap time.
The phone rang and I picked it up, despite the fact that I didn't recognize the number and usually ignored unknown callers. On the other end, a woman's voice told me she wanted to remain anonymous for the time being but wondered if my husband and I were still hoping to adopt and then asked whether Michigan were too far away. I confirmed our hope to adopt and willingness to travel for a placement.
My mind was racing. I remembered hearing something in the past about Michigan adoption law being complicated. Somehow, my usually cautious nature was suppressed by a hopeful optimism I didn't quite understand. The caller explained that her daughter's friend was in labor in the hospital. She asked if it would be okay to pass my number along to the expectant mother. The call was quickly over. As far as I can remember, I didn't even think to ask how she had gotten my number.
In the past, we'd encountered many prospective adoption contacts that never came to fruition. I felt unusually peacefully about this one, enough so that I immediately dialed our caseworker before talking to my husband. Once I had her on the line, I felt a little silly realizing the unlikelihood of the scenario. I had such little information or reason to believe anything would come from it. I began to rationalize away the soft glow of hope I felt inside me, assuming the woman who called was just a well-meaning friend's mother and that I would never hear anything more. I gave my husband a quick call to tell him about the experience I'd had and then hung up, trying to forget about it and filing it away.
Right after hanging up with my husband, my phone rang again. The display showed a different number sharing the same area code as the first. I answered as fast as I could. This time, the female voice I heard on the other end said she'd gotten my number from her friend. I could hardly believe what was happening. I remember struggling for words. Being chosen to adopt a child is always humbling. A woman who was a stranger the day prior becomes your hero in an instant. I won't recount the details of our conversation that afternoon or the whirlwind of events that unfolded over the next 12 hours, but the outcome was nothing short of miraculous.
After being up all night packing and getting things in order, my husband and I boarded the first flight to Detroit the next morning. By early afternoon, we found ourselves walking through the big glass doors of a hospital together, anxious to meet the newborn baby girl who would become our daughter.
I don't remember when exactly we learned the role of Parent Profiles in our daughter's placement, but now I share our story with hopeful adoptive couples whenever I get the chance. There are many ways to reach out on the road to building your family through adoption. We had tried to open as many doors as we could in our efforts. Parent Profiles was something we were reluctant about at first. Anytime you open a new door, there is risk equal to the potential for success. We heard scammers were more likely to find you on a site like Parent Profiles, but we also knew we would get a lot more exposure. After a failed match, we both had a change of heart and were willing to redouble our efforts, including activating our profile on ParentProfiles.com. Putting ourselves out there was a little scary, but we really felt the need to be vulnerable in order for the right expectant mother to find us. At first, it was nice just to know our profile was being seen. The steady increase in page views was encouraging.
Four months later, we found ourselves in a hospital waiting room, just outside a nursery full of newborn babies. The minutes we waited there felt like hours. We looked around the room full of celebratory families and felt so small. I remember fumbling with my wallet to retrieve my ID so that we could check in before being allowed entrance to the nursery. Once inside, we stood nervously looking around and wondering what our baby might look like. The hospital social worker pushed a bassinet from the far side of the room toward us. When I saw her face, I felt my breath leave me. Time seemed to stand still. The moment was more unique than any other I have experienced.
Looking back, my husband and I see our daughter's placement as a series of miracles. I could tell story after story of how things came together and each part is unbelievable on its own. These miracles add up to one amazing story, and Parent Profiles is the reason our daughter's birth mother found us. Hopeful adoptive parents have many choices about how to attempt to grow their families, and each has to decide what doors are right for them to open. If we hadn't opened our hearts to the potential of Parent Profiles, we wouldn't have found our or be sharing our story of finding our Ruby.
Have you experienced something amazing as a result of reaching outside your comfort zone?

TUI's Chairman Rules out Mergers or Acquisitions
by James Field
LONDON – In an interview with the Press Association, TUI's Chairman Klaus Mangold ruled out any form of merger and acquisition of the group, following the waves of talks between other carriers such as IAG and Norwegian.
Mangold said to the press that the company is at a stage where it is unlikely that such deals could take place due to the airline undergoing an overhaul of its fleet, as well as the development of potential regional flights around Europe.
"We have around about 170 aircraft. We have done a lot to restructure this quite successfully, so, for the time being, we don't have any plans for acquisitions or mergers," he explained.
"We are certainly looking carefully (at) what is going on in the market, but for the time being we would not like to have an active role if it comes to acquisitions," he added.

No to IAG
Relating to the large waves of mergers and acquisitions, came the potential deal with Norwegian for IAG taking over the majority of the carrier after building up a 4.61% stake.
Although such offers have been made, Norwegian has already rejected two offers from IAG claiming that these were "undervaluing" the airline.
However, IAG doesn't seem to be giving up as they said that they are "considering its options in relation to Norwegian".
These mergers and acquisitions taking place are at a result of chunks of the sector collapsing.
A void to fill in Europe
The demise of carriers such as Air Berlin and Monarch have ultimately resulted in competitors flocking for the remaining assets and landing slots.
TUI, however, has said that although this is happening, they are not worried about the competitiveness of their carrier.
Talking about the competition element, the airline's chief admitted that, "We have to look carefully in which ways we can improve our own competitiveness, and this is what we were are doing, and I believe that – as I just mentioned – we have made major steps forward so TUI have no reason to complain and be nervous about this."

The group currently has over 70 Boeing aircraft on order, with deliveries already underway.
Mangold also mentioned that the new aircraft and creating a younger brand image is looking very successful for them at the moment, given the fact that "We see that more and more young people are coming back to tour operators and because they would like to have personal advice for certain destinations," he said.
The CEO has therefore placed a strong focus on young people "without neglecting the older generations."
This is also down to younger customers demanding the same service to that of their more senior clients in the business.
TUI seems to be on a path of remaining strong and will not have to result in creating deals with other competitors.
It is interesting how Mangold has had to mention about the mergers and acquisitions taking place in the sector because the group is in a strong state already across Europe and would not need to put themselves on sale.
However, mergers and acquisitions must be something that has been on the CEO's mind, because there has been no indication of carriers showing interest in the group.
And more importantly, the group's financials are not in a position where an acquisition would benefit them.
They are roundly sized and would have nothing else to gain but potentially damage what they have produced up to now.

PROVOKED THOUGHTS FROM A BLACK MAN WHO BLOGS
The Blackman Reads Aloud Project (FLORIDA EDITION)
October 5, 1889 John E. Bruce: Bruce Grit Power To The People
Before there was Robert F. Williams advocating an armed struggle in North Carolina, before The Deacons for Defense were founded in Louisana to protect civil rights marchers and workers, Before The Black Panther Party For Self Defense was founded in Oakland, California on October 15, 1966, before Stokely Carmichael spoke to the crowd in Greenwood, Mississippi, in June of 1966 and advocated black power, before H Rap Brown spoke of the legacy of violence that was formulated against black people in this nation, before Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Paul Robeson, Booker T. Washington, Dubois, Trotter, there was John E. Bruce, better known as "Bruce Grit" to the
those in conscious in the black communities throughout this nation.
John E. Bruce was described in 1901 as the "prince of Negro newspaper correspondents." He was the author of The Bloody Red Record, a compilation of lynchings in the United States published in 1901. This compilation of lynchings came before the advocacy of Ida Belle Wells-Barnett at a time when any Blackman speaking out against the tactics of white oppression was putting a target on his chest for physical retribution by the oppressors.
During the time Jim Crow was ramping up in the southern states of this nation and being adopted in many states of the north. They were very few black people who were aware of the organized efforts to fight the forces of white supremacy. They were very few blacks aware that a call for organized resistance was being formulated against lynching and white mob violence that was perpetrated against blacks in this nation.
In this speech, I am reading today John E. Bruce, Bruce Grit came before an audience of black Americans in an undisclosed location calling on African Americans to apply the principle of self-defense against the white terrorists who were seeking to harm them. He wanted a unification of black Americans to fight collectively against those forces of evil. The Blackman Who Reads Aloud brings to you the words of John E. Bruce as he spoke them on October 5, 1889, only 34 years after black Americans were freed from the shackles of slavery.

Fort Tešanj is one of the largest (6296 square meters) and the most significant buildings of its kind in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The exact time of its construction is not known. It was built and rebuilt for a long period of time. Because of its location it has mostly served in the defense against the enemy. In combination with the old town it makes a harmonious ambient space of Bosnian style. Its construction began in the time of the Illyrians and it was upgraded by the Romans, Slavs and Turks. Gradina, in the Ottoman period, had a permanent military garrison.


The amazing Miracle tree has more than 90 nutrients, 46 antioxidants, 7x the Vit C of oranges, 4x the calcium of milk, 4x the Vit A of carrots, 3x the potassium of bananas & about 10% protein. I believe it has a huge future in the Aquarium industry!
15ml test tube of dried Organic Moringa oelifera leaf powder.
There is currently not much information or research being done of using this terrestrial plant species in the Aquarium and Aquaculture industry, but I am certain that will change as time goes on!
I personally use this in my red and green food mixes, and in my Inforsuria Starter because the results I get are great.
On par or even better than Algae in some situations, and I strongly suggest you guys run your own experiments using this unique food source.
It is very nutrient dense making it great value, but be very careful not to overfeed.
It is normally know as the "Miracle tree" but botanically it is Moringa oleifera.
The leaf contains more than 90 different nutrients and 46 types of antioxidants!
It has 7x the Vitamin C in oranges, 4x the Calcium in milk, 4x the Vitamin A in carrots, 3x the Potassium in bananas and about 10% protein.
It stores very well, it is easy to measure and use as mini-critter food, and like I say, the results I get are pretty extraordinary, considering it is the leaf of an African tree, not at all an aquatic species.
Massively popular as a traditional food source in a heap of different places, and as such known by a heap of different names depending where in the world you are.
It is very popular as a health supplement for humans, and I believe its popularity and use in the pet industry will massively increase as supplies become available.


I was feeling the love recently when I was invited to four separate Porsche garage launches for the 718. I decided to go to our local Porsche garage at the Silverlink and it was really great to see some of the old team – yes I'm talking about you Sid!
I've always had a soft spot for the Boxster as it was my introduction to the Porsche family. I remember the deal as if it was yesterday from start to finish. I bought a copy of Top Marques and saw this Boxster for sale in Edinburgh. A week later I was picking it up.
When I started the car up for the first time the noise made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. The engine is behind you and with the noise from the exhaust, it made for a truly memorable drive home especially with its exemplary handling. After seeing the 718 being launched I really couldn't wait to get my hands on the keys and take it for a drive. A trip to York was on the cards and the weather was great so I had the perfect car for the day.
As I'm lucky enough to get to drive different cars most weeks, it's interesting when I get some feedback from people. I think the colour of the car and its red roof just made it look really amazing indeed. Normally no one even comments on the car, but the 718 was getting a few enviable looks, with people commenting on just how beautiful the car looked.
The Boxster has always been the benchmark for two seater sports cars so the 718 has a great deal to live up to. It has two engine choices like the previous Boxster. The difference now is that both engines are not only smaller but are both turbocharged. You can choose from either a 2.0lt engine or a 2.5lt engine getting to 62mph in 5.1 and 4.6 seconds and top speeds of 170mph and 177mph respectively.
In the right hands the car should return around 35mpg and not surprisingly, whilst I had the car I managed to average around 20mpg! As I've said, the engine is mounted behind the driver so not only does that help give the car perfect weight distribution it also gives you two boots – one behind the engine and one at the front. As the engine powers the rear wheels all the front wheels have to do is the steering. The feedback from the handling is brilliant and I for one am a fan of the electric steering. Unlike some I've tried recently, Porsche has nailed it with excellent feedback through the wheel.
The cars subtle design tweaks really look great but inside the car looks just like the 911 with the dash and multimedia system lightyears ahead of the previous model. The system comes with Apple Play so it's much easier to link your iPhone and to access music and media via the touchscreen display.
The optional Porsche adaptive suspension lets you choose from normal or sport mode. This is more at home on a race track as you feel every imperfection in the road and we all know how bad our roads are here!
Owners will really relish driving this car down some country roads as it really feels planted to the road and there is virtually no body roll at all. Put the car into sport mode using the new dial on the GT steering wheel and the engine really comes to life. From the popping and rasping noises from the exhaust, you really want to downshift all the time just to hear the symphonies from the engine.
The 718's roof can be opened and closed on the move, despite being a cloth roof the wind and road noise isn't that bad at all, you can quite easily hold a conversation while driving on the motorway.
The rear visibility isn't excellent though and I found myself needing to use the rear parking sensors all of the time. As with all Porsche cars it's very easy to go mad with the spec sheet. The car comes with air conditioning as standard, part leather upholstery, digital radio, parking sensors and heated seats.
For me the car needs large alloy wheels and the excellent PDK gearbox. They are priced from £42,000 for the base 718 with the S coming in at £51,000 – but believe me when I say they can become really expensive once you start ticking the options on the spec sheet. If you are looking for a well-engineered two seater convertible the 718 is still the best car by miles and you can't help smiling after every drive.

I'd Like to Sincerely Apologize for Texas
On 4/4/16 at 9:25 AM EDT
Texas was a Confederate state, and it has moved so far to the right that a flaming liberal like George W. Bush would no longer have much of a base there, the author writes. Above, Bush speaks before the unveiling of a marble bust of former Vice President Dick Cheney in the U.S. Capitol in Washington, December 3. James Lawler Duggan/Reuters
Opinion Texas Ted cruz George bush
This article first appeared on the Indian Country Today Media Network site.
I owe the Indian nations and most of the United States an apology, because I've become a Texan. My family roots are in the Cherokee Nation, but I was raised just across the border in the Muscogee Creek Nation by grandparents who met on the Sac & Fox reservation back when it was still a reservation.
I was assigned to Baja Oklahoma by the military, lured by the University of Texas, and fell in love with Austin back when it was Tex-Mex and Shiner Beer and Willie Nelson.
Excuses, I know. Just excuses.
How about these excuses? I never voted for George W. Bush and I never voted for Rafael "Ted" Cruz. So why should I have to apologize? Regarding W, I said to anybody who would listen that even if the candidate were Ann Richards, being governor of Texas is not preparation to be POTUS.
Texas has a classic post-Reconstruction weak governor system. I can't put the governor even in the top-three of people responsible for governing Texas. The governor is behind the lieutenant governor, the speaker of the House, the comptroller of public accounts and the inspector of hides.
OK, I was joking about the inspector of hides, who as far as I know was in charge of regulating tanning booths like the Texas Railroad Commission is in charge of oil and gas. (The office was abolished by constitutional amendment in 2007, leaving Texas vulnerable to uninspected hides.)
My point is that the Texas governor does not have to make a budget or have a legislative program. The governor is without even a pocket veto—a bill passed but unsigned becomes law. Qualification to be POTUS is not tied to land area or GDP, and the required skill set for a Texas governor is too meager.
I assume qualifications still matter for that high office even though the claim to competence by the guy who leads in the Republican polls is making real estate deals and selling his brand...
We had two first-term senators running for POTUS this year and 20 years ago both of them would have been crackpots anywhere but the former Confederate states. Neither of them compare at all well to Barack Obama's first term as a U.S. senator. Obama did more legislating and, by the way, worked with Republicans like Tom Coburn and Dick Lugar.
But I digress from my mea culpa. Texas was, after all, a Confederate state, and it has moved so far to the right that a flaming liberal like George W. Bush would no longer have much of a base there. How far to the right has Texas moved?
Texas is the home of Representative Joe Barton, famous for apologizing to BP because of the "shakedown" when President Obama's administration wanted the transnational corporation to establish a fund for victims of the Macando oil spill. Only a socialist would think corporations have to clean up after their errors.
Texas is the home of Representative Louis Gohmert, who nominated fellow lunatic Allen West for House speaker after West had been defeated for re-election. Gohmert is known for asserting that oil pipelines are aphrodisiacs for caribou. He famously went off on a CNN reporter who had the gall to ask for evidence of Gohmert's assertion that terrorists are coming into the U.S. pregnant so they can give birth to little terrorists with U.S. passports.
Texas is the state where the governor called out the State Guard to protect the citizens from Operation Jade Helm 15, a plot to overthrow state governments using weapons caches from defunct Walmarts. Of the Jade Helm threat, Gohmert opined, "patriotic Americans have reason to be concerned."
Then there is Mary Lou Bruner, the leader going into the Republican runoff for Texas State Board of Education. Why should readers of this column care who sits on the Texas State Board of Education? Because that body selects textbooks for Texas public schools and, because of the size of the market, other states generally get to select only from books aimed at the Texas market. That is, Texas picks K-12 texts for much of the country.
That means science books skeptical of evolution are a given, but Bruner believes it to be historical fact that the KKK had noble roots standing up for law and order in the rural South. On Facebook, she has referred to President Obama as "Ahab the Arab" who "hates all white people." I don't know if she has noticed that would include his mother. Or that Arabs are "white people."
You might gather from this that Texas K-12 schools leave a lot to be desired. That is correct. However, the Texas Constitution mandates that the state support a "university of the first class" and dedicates a trust of public land for that purpose. As a result, Texas has two public research universities with international reputations: Texas A&M University and the University of Texas at Austin.
Over the last 20 years or so, the legislature has opened the money spigots of the trust fund to the A&M and UT "systems," creating a network of state-supported universities that is not supported to the level of the network of research universities that is the University of California system, but still provides opportunities for kids to start up the academic ladder. Texas has universities many states would envy at the top of a system that does not prepare K-12 students to take advantage of them.
UT was and is a football school, and the Longhorns won a national championship while I was there. I never attended a game because I thought football interfered with the all the reasons I wanted to be there. I also thought they should pay those guys.
Whenever a Longhorn varsity team in any sport, men's or women's, had a win, the UT Tower would be lit up orange. The tower went orange often, and I wondered whether that would happen to celebrate something important?
In 1977, Ilya Prigoine won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry…and they lit that sucker up! Yes! UT has had three Nobel Prize winners on faculty, and they are rock stars.
That rock-star status of Nobel winners made for an interesting situation when UT began to implement a new law allowing guns on campus in public universities. Private universities in the state could opt out of allowing students to pack heat, and most have.
The only living Nobel laureate at UT is Steven Weinberg (Physics, 1979), and he has announced that he will not allow guns in his classroom. Even though he's tenured, that's a violation of the law, and he could be fired.
If I were teaching at UT, I would do the same thing—but I am not a Nobel Laureate, so it would be a lot easier to fire my ass. It did not escape my notice that when I taught at the San Antonio campus of the University of Texas and later at Indiana University, my classes dealt with highly controversial subjects. I'm betting my criminal justice students argued more heatedly than Weinberg's students do in his physics classes.
I've never been a celebrity, but if I ever became one, I would enjoy using my fame for something useful. Keeping guns out of university classrooms strikes me as very useful.
Coming soon to a school shooting near you: student vigilantes returning fire while the police try to sort them out from the bad guys. I presume they won't light the tower orange for that. Hook 'em, Horns.
Lo siento mucho. Mea maxima culpa. I'm sorry.

Usagbe Club of Nigeria Epitomizes Community Development Pursuit
CEM REPORT | There are great clubs and Foundations that have made remarkable developmental impact in humanity such as Rotary Club International, Lion's Club International, Island Club, Ikoyi Club, People's Club, John Mac Foundation, Ford Foundation and many others. These clubs would have long gone into oblivion but for their determination in the pursuant of their objective anchored on human welfare and wellbeing in the various spheres they are found.
Usagbe Club of Nigeria like the other clubs have set out an objective propelling it to carve its name on the golden floor of humanity. Being the spark that gave birth to the club, their commitment to human welfare and community development since inception has continued to solidify.
In the words of the current President of the Club, Paul Inape Izenuwa, "the formation of Usagbe was a miracle, it was never planned, it came and God instituted it and it has not only come to stay, it is waxing stronger and expanding."
In 1984, a group of 14 men came together to raise money to support a friend whose house was razed by fire, a gesture that offered an impressive relief for the victim. These men decided to come together as a club to support each other and those who may need help in such a dare situation. This is how the Club was berthed. The club has not only held this welfarism central but has gradually and consistently expounded it into full blown community development objectives with extension to collaboration with governmental authorities.
The Deputy Governor of Edo State who grazed the Club's 2022 Retreat/Convention held in Lagos recently, as an Acting Governor, remarked that Government of Edo State is excited about Usagbe club's interest in community development and that they have been consistent.'
He continued by saying that "If there are more of this kind of organizations, not only will they keep the government on its toes, there will be more collaborations to develop the society. What has been lacking over time is communities and other stakeholders taking ownership of their community development. Usagbe has been consistent in the pursuant of their community development and my prayer is that other associations will be able to emulate them."
How has the Club contributed?
In a side interview, Paul Izenuwa highlighted some of the developmental works being done by the Club. He said:
"One of our areas of focus since I became President for about a year and half has been first, security of lives of our people. This was the major issue and in the front burner when I took over and the Club confronted it. When we found out that the successes needed to be expanded, we went into alliance with other key groups and clubs in our community. We started with clubs and groups in Weppa and Wanno which has led to a joint committee under our leadership that provide Logistics support to security agencies and vigilante groups.
"We have bought vehicles to aid the job of the security agencies and vigilante groups. On a regular basis, we send support to enable their smooth operation. Before we came, there was near total absence of vigilante on our roads, but now, they are there on a daily basis courtesy of the efforts we have put in.
"Welfare of our members is also now very paramount since we now have an increasing number of aged members, some of whom are now retired. For this, we have come up with some welfare policies that will keep them as members and also able to survive. It is not proper to remove anybody from the club because he is no longer buoyant. We recognize the efforts and contributions made by them in the past. Such people now enjoy some exceptions and some packages as well.
"In the area of education, we have increased the beneficiaries of our scholarship scheme. We are encouraged to do this having seen the impact is has created. Some of those who benefited are medical personnel and others doing well in their chosen career s. One of them headed the optical group that conducted the free eye care in our last free health care outreach with many others fully involved in the annual health care program. That is a strong indication that we are succeeding.
"In healthcare, we have expanded the free health care outreach to two locations instead of the single location we had it before. In addition, we have contributed to the facility upgrade of the health center in our place when they had problems with facility.
"Regarding our collaboration with the government, a government relation committee will be set up and members announced at this convention. The committee is meant to keep in touch with government. For the first time, the communique from this convention will be sent to the Governor and a follow up will be done, an improvement on the past.
Chairman of the Lagos Chapter of the Club, Felix Oyakhaho wrapped up the discussion on the deep interest in developing their community by saying; "We are all from different works of life; medical, legal, hospitality, oil and gas and virtually every profession. What bind us together is our root because we are from that community. In as much as we commune as brothers, we must also be committed to our community. If we don't do it, nobody will do it for us. We do the ones within our capacity and influence other authorities to help us out."
How is the Club keeping its members together?
This commitment in the things of the community was truly demonstrated throughout the event in the comportment with which both the high and mighty and the sufficient conducted their activities. A common palpable character exhibition was readiness to serve and obedience to rules and order without exception.

The commitment of the club to members' welfare is key to this oneness. The club consistently seek ways to keep their members' growth trajectory. It is for this purpose that the club set up a cooperative society, in order to facilitate the financial growth of its members and to promote the capacity to do business among the sons and daughters of Weppa, Uwanno & Uzanu.
Core objectives of the Cooperative include (1.) To provide excellent financial services to its members (2.) To focus on viable business opportunities in Weppa, Uwanno & Uzanu such as agriculture, tourism, education, human capacity development etc. (3.) To invest in small and medium scale factories and production lines of viable, economic and bankable products (4.) Provides real estate and other investment opportunities for the collective gain of members.
One style that have also yielded the desired cooperation in the club is unhindered communication regardless of affiliations. This was attested to in the remark by the Honorable Minister for State for Budget and Planning, Clem Agba while feeding questions from Continental Economy Magazine at the event.
He said "One thing Usagbe has tried to do is bringing brother together regardless of our divers viewpoints. It is important to stay in one room and discuss, it is only then that you can arrive at the best decision. Now because everybody has participated in the decision process, it becomes easy to execute."
No one can refute the fact that such decorum can only be achieved by a long established and sustained culture built on clear structure and principles. Felix Oyakhaho confirmed my supposition while speaking on what it takes to lead this group of eminent people. He said;
"The Club has built a kind of structure with rules that is binding. Generally, the Club has instituted discipline through these rules that are firm. The Club has kicked out some people regardless of their eminence for breaking those rules. The Club is meant for those who are ready to obey the set and binding rules, if you must be a member, then you must obey the rules. The people here have self-discipline and so I don't need to do much to keep my unit together."
What guide the Club's recruitment process?
The structure referred to by the Lagos Chapter Chairman starts from the recruitment process which has been described as rigorous. The induction process of new and young members into the club at the Retreat/Convention, vivified the rigor nature of the entire recruitment process and the ardency with which it is conducted. Those processes must be meant to access their loyalty and discipline, motive for seeking membership, willingness to contribute the 3Ts and organizational aspiration.

Taking from the President's response to membership criteria, the listed criteria stays above the financial capacity of intending members though the largest percentage of members of the club are top industry leaders and very well placed in government. The basic is ability to fulfill the required financial obligation, which means you should have stable source of income.
The President said: "Against perception that Usagbe is meant for the elite and the wealthy, the Usagbe is meant for those that can at least take care of themselves and then able to offer a contribution. The most important is that, the Club is meant for those that are able to offer their 3Ts; Time, Talent and Treasure. You may not be rich, but you may have a talent that can be put to use to benefit the club and the community.
"We have those that are not too strong financially, only able to afford the basic, but they are very committed. We all work for the growth of the club and development of our community. The truth is that we have those that are wealthy, but that is not the basic criteria otherwise we would have removed those that are no longer buoyant. What those ones can no longer give in terms of wealth, they give in terms of time and guidance and other talents they are endowed with."
Abu Agbonoga, a past president of the Club sees Usagbe scaling up what they have started. He sees the club in a more robust partnership with government in the next ten years to impact more largely on the socio-economic development of Weppa and Wanno

Rochester Business Embraces Four-Day Work Week for Employees
The coronavirus pandemic has forced many businesses to take a long, hard look at the way they do business. For one Rochester firm, back-to-work has turned into a longer weekend for employees.
Gavin Thomas and Lisa Kribs formed TGW Studio in 2012. Working in a wide-open space in an old downtown building, the social impact marketing firm has a reputation for doing business just a bit differently.
"We take a pretty non-traditional approach to everything we do," said Thomas.
About a month ago, the duo implemented another non-traditional idea — a four-day work week for employees.
"This box that we've all been put, in this 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, we're allowed to break through," said Kribs. "If productivity can be boosted by doing something like this, why wouldn't we?"
Like many businesses, employees of the small Rochester firm worked from home following the COVID-related shutdown of the economy.
"In light of Coronavirus and everything that's been going on, folks are learning — like it or not, people can actually get things done here, there, everywhere," she said.
Starting about a month ago, the three-day weekend for employees began on Fridays. The four-day work week embraces the idea that a happy and refreshed employee will be more productive when they're in the office.
"Having that extra day off is certainly to take care of themselves," said Thomas. "But also to help take care of their families, to help serve their communities."
Longer weekends and a better work-life balance also give small businesses like TGW a leg up in attracting and keeping workers. Things which, in the end, make business sense.
"Obviously that's important to be able to keep the lights," said Thomas. "Everything that we found on that side was hugely, dramatically beneficial from a productivity standpoint. But also, more importantly for us, it really is about taking care of our team and ourselves."
At TGW, the daily hours, pay, and benefits all stay the same under a four-day work week. So do job expectations, under what these folks think could be the next big thing for business.
"Hopefully there will be other Rochester businesses that come out of the closet and embrace a four day work week with us," said Kribs. "We want to be that example, and encourage folks to do to do the same thing."

Q: how to set image in more view controller's navigation bar and also change the colour of more label from white to green..? I try to set image on navigation bar. when we pressed more button in tabbar..The default colour is blue.i wanna set image and chnge the colour of more label from white to green..Please help me
My code is given below, but it does not work
Appdelegte.m
tabMenu.moreNavigationController.navigationBar.tintColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[Uiimage imagewithnamed :@"nav.png"]];

tabMenu.moreNavigationController.delegate =self;
tabMenu.delegate = self;

A: You can do it like this :
[[[self.tabBarController moreNavigationController] navigationBar] setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"myImage"] forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];

However You can get instance of this "More" ViewController using...
UIViewController *moreViewController = tabBarController.moreNavigationController.topViewController;

moreViewController.view property contains UITableView and we can use it.
For example : To Add tableHeaderView :
UITableView *moreTableView = (UITableView*)moreViewController.view;
moreTableView.tableHeaderView = myOwnCustomView;

For more Reference you can check this Thread on Apple : moreNavigationController

The Magic Lantern: Episode 082 – Zama
July 30, 2018 Cole Roulain	Magic Lantern Podcast	3425 0 Comments

This episode celebrates the return of one of my favorite filmmakers, Lucrecia Martel. It's been ten years since her last feature film and two years since we last discussed one of her films on the show. With the arrival of her new film, Zama (2017), the wait is over and the result is more than worth it. All of Martel's usual preoccupations – class divisions, physical, spiritual and emotional decay, inertia – are present and as well-considered as ever, but this also feels like something new. It feels almost like an evolutionary step, like going from Academy ratio to Cinerama. Moving beyond her normal domestic framework, these themes take on a new depth and breadth when viewed against the backdrop of history, colonialism, and politics. I hesitate to use the word dense to describe it, because I don't want the negative connotations of the word to discourage people from seeing it, but there is so much in every scene to consider. Perhaps rich is more appropriate. Quiet, still conversations in sweltering rooms have repercussions that echo over decades. Surreal details that you can only catch out of the corner of your eye gnaw gently but constantly at your understanding of how the world operates. Stultifying bureaucracy is embroidered with darkly comic absurdities. I can't recommend it highly enough and I can't wait to re-watch it.
What you'll find in this episode: the never ending cycle of resentment between conquered and conquerer, the hypnotic pull of the Shepard Tone, rumors, ghosts, cholera, and fighting while naked.

The biological activity of nucleic acids is correlates strongly with their physico-chemical properties, in particular their thermodynamic properties. The thermal stability of nucleic acids depends strongly on the properties of intracellular environment such as ionic strength, polarity of the medium and presence of various osmolites, compartmentalization and etc (1-3). The influence of monovalent (Na+ and K+) and divalent (Mg2+) cations has been widely studied (4, 5). By contrast the thermodynamics properties of nucleic acids in the presence of various co-solvents have not been studied in details previously, excepting the molecular crowding effect (5). Here we begin the systematic study of the thermodynamics of DNA duplex formation in the presence of a large variety of co-solvents. In this work the efficiency of oligodeoxyribolnucleotides hybridization and DNA duplex secondary structure in the presence of various aliphatic alcohols (ethanol, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol, 2-cyanoethanol) in water solution (10 mM sodium cacodylate, pH 7.2) has been characterized. It has been shown that the increase of concentration of aliphatic alcohol in solution from 0 to 50 % (v/v) does not change the conformation of DNA helix. We have demonstrated that for most alcohols (ethanol, cyanoethanol, ethylene glycol and diethylene glycol) rising of their concentration up to 50 % in a aqueous solution lead to monotonous decrease in melting temperature for DNA duplexes of various length (12, 15 or 20 b.p.) and GC-content (27 – 60 %). In the case of trifluoroethanol the stability of double stranded DNA decreases with the increase of the alcohol concentration up to 20 %. The higher concentrations of trifluoroethanol (up to 75 %) resulted in slight stabilization of DNA duplexes. The analysis of the data obtained has shown the possibility of using a simple model for the description of thermal stability of duplexes in mixed water/alcohol solutions except 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol. The model assume that the number of solvents molecules (water and со-solvent) which are bound to DNA changes at helix-to-coil transition. The proposed model describes the dependence of melting temperatures of oligonucleotide complexes on concentration of ethanol, cyanoethanol, ethylene glycol and diethylene glycol with accuracy 1.1, 1.7, 1.0, 2.2 °С, respectively.
The results obtained can be applied in hybridization analysis in various buffer conditions, for example, with the use of exciplexes (7); in studying nucleic acid – protein interactions and in the development of molecular-imprinted polymers (8).

Jan 10 Here's The Story Regarding Our New Site Background
This morning, I awoke and my butler brought me my imported Italian blend coffee, as well as my robe and slippers. I prepared for my day and the chauffeur got the car ready. You know, a typical morning.
I happened to check the BS email as I am wont to do and there was a love note from Collegiate Licensing Company (CLC), vaguely stating that we had failed to respond to a letter from them on November 2 of last year. The email text said "Please find attached a letter from the Collegiate Licensing Company legal department. Thank you."
Why explain what's happening, right? Just assume I know. Solid work.
The letter stated what you see on our background, but I will paste it here for ease of viewing:
Naturally, this did not go over well with me. Both the patriarchs of BS have a temper and we can be set off at any time. Some of you have seen this on this here site or on Twitter. We know this about ourselves and have kind of come to embrace it. It's especially useful when dealing with ignorant bullies.
Since I couldn't conceive of anything on our site that was a trademarked Purdue logo, I fired off a response to the "assistant" at the CLC who sent the email:
We do not use or display Purdue University trademarked logos or marks for anything and we never have.
We also did not receive the referenced letter dated Nov 2 that we are accused of ignoring.
Please advise your superiors that we will consider further such letters to be harassment and will treat them accordingly.
This particularly pisses me off in light of the fact that Purdue themselves came after us a couple of years ago when we offered the t-shirts on the site. I don't think we ever fully detailed this on the site, but here is that story.
We wanted to offer some fun, original, entertaining t-shirts to fire up the fanbase. When we designed and produced the t-shirts, we went out of our way to ensure we weren't using anything that was protected, trademarked, copyrighted or proprietary. That didn't matter to Purdue's athletic department, though. We still got the threat of legal action because people could interpret that it had to do with Purdue. We spoke to more than one attorney at the time (another benefit of being a Purdue grad -- there are lots of other smart Purdue grads willing to help you) and the general consensus was that, yeah, they're being jerks and we could probably win such a lawsuit -- but do we really want to spend the money we'd need to spend to do so? The answer is of course not, since we barely cover our expenses on this site as it is, despite how small those expenses are. So the big iron fist of communist Purdue management wins again. We complied and ceased selling the shirts. And thus lost money.
Back to this morning.
Within an hour, a response appeared from the CLC's "Associate General Counsel":
I am in receipt of your e-mail response below. I am unclear as to how you can contend that you are not using the University's marks. The University's marks are wallpapered to the background of your site (see link below).
www.boiledsports.com
Thank you for your response and cooperation.
So he was referring to our background image, which he apparently mistakenly believed was a Purdue logo. It was most certainly not. It was our redesigned, improved logo. I decided to tell him that and to be a d-ck in the process, mainly because that's what they're being:
Unclear, indeed.
The image "wallpapered" on our site is in fact NOT the official Purdue train logo. It is actually a revised, improved logo that we designed when the new one was released and universally derided as having phallic smoke, among other things. The official train logo is side-by-side with ours in the attached image for your reference.
We also are not profiting or attempting to profit from Purdue logos. We're only trying to support our alma mater.
However, to be left alone, we have removed the wallpaper, as you call it, from our site.
Kudos to the NCAA for, as always, having the proper perspective and focusing on what's important.
Was I obnoxious? Absolutely. Did the CLC have a claim? Sure, you could argue they did -- but not really in the "spirit" of the law, so to speak.
Trademark violations are usually when someone is attempting to profit from someone else's protected work. We aren't doing that. We don't charge a subscription fee, we don't sell anything for profit, etc. And with everything going on in the NCAA, bullying a small-time Purdue site is what they spend their time on? (And yes, I know the CLC and the NCAA aren't the same thing, but let's not pretend the NCAA lets anyone meddle in their schools' affairs without approval.)
The CLC has been busy lately bullying and just being downright obnoxious. Check this out down in Alabama. No cookies for you! Gotta get their cut.
Another thing that bothers us about this -- immensely -- is that the CLC didn't stumble upon this by themselves. There is no doubt in our minds that they were tipped off to this by Purdue and, more specifically, Purdue's athletic department and sports information people.
We aren't sure what we did to make them dislike us, but Boilerdowd was told to his face by Tom Schott once that he (Schott) doesn't trust us. Oh wait, did I say I wasn't sure what we did to make them dislike us? Sorry, that's not true... I do know. We aren't under their control -- that's why they don't like us. They don't have us under their thumb like they do with the whole of the Lafayette media (such as it is) and other blogsites that rely on press pass access and the like. They have nothing to hold over us, as we haven't asked for a press pass in years and we don't require anything special from them that they get to deny in their heavy-handed way. If it sounds like this pisses us off, that's because it does.
We write a site that is by and for Purdue fans. We love our alma mater and we fight for it to be respected by national writers, other sites, and TV networks like ESPN and BTV....and we do it so much that at times we've had a reputation for it. We fight for Purdue to be respected more than Purdue does. That should tell you almost everything you need to know about Purdue athletics.
Sometimes we're critical of the athletic department and/or coaching staffs. On occasion, we're critical of players, too. But for the most part, we support them, watch them, write about them and publicize them. Readers and listeners have told us that they come to us because they can't get more than a few scraps of Purdue coverage elsewhere and that being able to read our posts "scratches the itch," as the saying goes. We love that and are flattered that we can do our part. The athletic department doesn't like this because we don't regurgitate their approved media narratives and we think independently. We criticize. We call a spade a spade. When the head coach of the football team says fans who criticize him are low-character losers, we react accordingly. When the University almost pisses away Matt Painter and then blames the alums for being cheap, we call them out for their poor judgment. Same goes for the abortion of New Pete, "Makers All" and the list goes on and on.
Again, though, these instances of criticizing our school are far outweighed by the game analysis, rah-rah columns and requests that everyone get out to support the student-athletes.
In the end, this is a bump in the road and I guess it's the price of being as famous as we are. But we will never understand why there is such resistance to our existence. Everyone who writes here or has written here either has a Purdue diploma or soon will. We love our school. We donate money to our school. And yet because we dare to have an opinion that isn't filtered through the University, we're somehow the enemy.
Some schools and organizations embrace amateur writers and social media outlets because they comprehend the value of partnering (or at least getting along) with other places that people go for coverage of their teams. That continues to not be the case at Purdue. And if you want people to play nice with you, one way to start is by playing nice with them.

Jan 9 Let's talk about the kids for a a few minutes...


For the last 3 months, Ty has been saving money for a new pet. He took back pop cans and did chores for Papa and Grandma. He thought he wanted a Guinea Pig, but once he held one he decided that they were too big.

Keep in mind that a psychic is a bringer of information, like a librarian of sorts. Tarot cards are wonderful to possess, however the high quality ones could be pricey.
Interesting. I know a lot about tarot cards and i've never heard of that. What Arcana is it associated with?

Q: How to access to the element within a column of DataFrame I have an example dataframe:
df = pd.DataFrame({0: ['a', 'b'], 1: ["('ex1', 'ex2')", "('ex3', 'ex4', 'ex5')" ]})

print(df)

    0   1
0   a   ('ex1', 'ex2')
1   b   ('ex3', 'ex4', 'ex5')

I would like to return the entry in column 0 when I find a matching string in column1.
For example, if I find 'ex4' in column 1, I would like to get the string 'b'.
I am trying to use a nested for loop to go through each row and then its own column.
However, how can I go through each entry within each column?
When I tried df.loc[row, column], I have the array (ex. df.loc[0,1] = ('ex 1', 'ex 2')).
But I do not know how to access to each element in that array.
Thank you.

A: You can just add another indexer. This example here will get you the first item in the 2 item tuple ('ex 1', 'ex 2').
print(df.loc[0,1][0])

ex 1

When it comes to fillings, most people think of amalgam, or silver. That's no surprise. Dentists have used amalgam to fill cavities for over 150 years and for good reason: Amalgam is one of the most durable and long-lasting restorative materials used in dentistry.
But what amalgam offers in affordability and endurance, it lacks in aesthetics. Composite resin, on the other hand, matches your natural tooth color. No one – not even you – can see composite fillings with a naked eye.
So what is composite resin?
Composite resin was first introduced to dentistry in the 60s and is made of a tooth-colored plastic mixture filled with silicon dioxide (glass). Early on, composite fillings were only used to restore front teeth because they weren't strong enough to withstand the chewing pressure produced by back teeth.
Composite fillings have other benefits, too. If you have sensitive teeth, composite fillings may make them less sensitive to hot and cold. And with composites, more of your tooth structure stays intact – that's not the case with silver fillings. Composite fillings are also easily fixable if they're damaged.

Toddler dies after being hit by mom backing out of parking space
By: St. George News
ST. GEORGE, Utah — A toddler who was hit by his mother backing out of a parking space in St. George Sunday evening has died, the St. George News reported.
St. George Police officer Lona Trombley confirmed the child died Sunday after a rapid response from first responders who attempted to save the boy's life.
The incident occurred just after 7 p.m. when the mother of the child was leaving a family function in a residential area near the 1100 East block of 400 South.
As the mother went to back an SUV out of its parking space, the toddler was behind it and was hit, St. George Police Lt. Curtis Spragg told St. George News at the scene Sunday night.
