"Chhattisgarh and the entire nation is praying for him".
He said Vajpayee's death has created a vacuum in the region's political arena.
In fact, several years before he became India's Prime Minister, former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru had once commented that Vajpayee will one day become Prime Minister.
Odisha CM Naveen Patnaik who visited New Delhi AIIMS said "I am deeply grieved by the sad demise of Vajpayeeji".
Vajpayee served as prime minister briefly in 1996 then again from 1998 to 2004.
Five-time world chess champion Viswanathan Anand said, "India loses one of its great leaders. But Mr. Vajpayee worked discreet diplomacy behind closed doors and set in motion a friendly dialogue with Clinton, who went to India in 2000, the first visit by a USA president to the country in more than two decades".
Former Indian Prime Minister and senior BJP politician Atal Bihari Vajpayee has passed away at the age of 93 in New Delhi on Thursday.
"Prime Minister Vajpayee's efforts towards establishing an atmosphere of trust between India and Pakistan will be his lasting legacy,"Bilawal said, hoping that India's current leadership exhibits similar intentions and commitment towards sustainable peace in South Asia".
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (R) shakes hands with his Indian counterpart Atal Bihari Vajpayee in NY.
Mr Modi, also of the BJP party, visited Mr Vajpayee in hospital this week. This NDA government lasted 13 months until mid-1999 when the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) under Jayalalithaa withdrew its support.
Vajpayee quickly dropped from sight after the BJP lost power to the long-dominant Congress party in 2004 elections.

On the afternoon of Monday, May 2, I turned my attention to Stamford Bridge in West London to watch Chelsea host Tottenham. Why you ask? A Tottenham loss or draw meant that Leicester City would win the Barclays Premier League title.
The final score…2-2. Leicester had been crowned champions. 5000-1 odds of winning to start the year, champions in the end.
It was truly one of the most unbelievable things I've witnessed. It even trumped the chill-inducing victory from Manchester City in 2012 to win the same title, only in the final moments of the season.
Even today, I still have trouble wrapping my head around the idea that Leicester went from worst to first in a year. So, naturally I do what every aspiring journalist chooses to do and looked up comparisons around all sports. After narrowing down my list, I decided on the top 10 unlikely sports champions.

Anthony Joshua vs. Carlos Takam: Trouble for Our Dear Josh?
When Wladimir Klitschko retired from the boxing world and put to bed the possibility of a rematch between himself and Anthony Joshua, it came as a shock to the boxing world.
The bout between the Englishman and the Ukranian earlier in the year was a massive one. Joshua defeated Klitschko by 11th Round Technical Knockout in that bout and defended his world heavyweight belts.
Being the world champ, he has to fight someone before the end of the year. He's entitled to choose his fights, being the champ. Since the Wladimir fight could no longer take place, he went for Bulgarian boxer, Kubrat Pulev.
With the Bulgarian suffering some injuries, he had to choose another boxer to fight with. He finally settled on Carlos Takam and both men will be slugging it out in the ring this coming Saturday. But the question on most people's mind is: who is Carlos Takam and how much of a threat is he to Anthony Joshua?
The Cameroonian
Armand Carlos Netsing Takam, best known as Carlos Takam, is a 36-year-old Cameroonian-French professional boxer and former WBC Silver heavyweight champion. Anthony Joshua's new challenger is a different type of boxer when comparing him with Pulev.
As an amateur he represented Cameroon in the super heavyweight division at the 2004 Olympics. Takam is only 6ft 1in – about five inches shorter than Joshua and this may go a long way in determining how this fight plays out.
It's an "All- African" bout on the world stage.
Which boxer will win this game?
Click here to back your favorite boxer and earn yourself some cash.
His Style
He usually comes at his opponents aggressively with his powerfully built body structure. Because of how he starts his fights – on a fast and aggressive note – he tends to lose momentum in the latter stages of his bouts.
This was made obvious in his fight against Parker where he landed some heavy blows against Povetkin but ultimately began to tire in the last third of the contest and suffered a 10th round KO. This being said, he is capable of punishing his opponents pretty hard when it matters.
His Record
Carlos Takam has been a professional boxer for 12 years now. In these 12 years, Takam has a record of 35 wins, three defeats and one draw. This fight against Joshua will be his first full heavyweight title fight after he was next in line as mandatory challenger after Pulev to Joshua's IBF belt.
The Camerooninan, with 27 knockouts in 35 victories, does carry some power in his punches and is quite capable of fighting effectively. The thought of Anthony Joshua being knocked down in the sixth round of his bout with Wladimir will come as a huge boost for Takam.
With wins over former world title challengers Frans Botha and Michael Grant, Tony Thompson, and a draw with Mike Perez, it seems that Takam has paid his boxing dues.
But will all these give him the edge over the champion, Anthony Joshua? Will Joshua make light work of the Cameroonian? Which of these two African boxers will be standing tall at the end of the fight on Saturday?

Syed Ali Abbas Jalalpuri () was a professor of philosophy in Government College Lahore. He is regarded by the intellectuals of Pakistan as the Will Durant of Pakistan. He had master's degrees in Philosophy, Persian and Urdu. He wrote more than fourteen books on Philosophy, History, and Religion in Urdu language. He was known as a first-rate scholar, and his books seemed to herald an age of reason in Pakistan.

His opinions on the subjects of history, civilization, religion, philosophy, metaphysics, folklore are held in great esteem.
In his greatest work, Riwayat-e-Falsafa (Story of Philosophy), he tried to educate a common Urdu reader on the subject of Philosophy. This book served its purpose in popularizing the subject it discussed like Will Durant's The Story of Philosophy.

Like The Dictionnaire Historique et Critique of Pierre Bayle and The Philosophical Dictionary of Voltaire, he wrote a philosophical dictionary, 'Khird Nama Jalalpuri' to explain subject's terminologies in Urdu.
He also wrote "Jinsiyati Mutaley" (A Study of Sex), which presented a great research work on the subject in Urdu language.

His works
 Riwayat-e-Falsafa (Story of Philosophy)
 Wahdatul Wujud tey Punjabi Sha'eri (Pantheism and Punjabi Poetry)
 Iqbal Ka Ilm-e-Kalam (The Theology of Allama Muhammad Iqbal
 Maqamat-e-Waris Shah (Places of Waris) Shah)
 Ruh-e-Asar ( Zeit Geist or The Spirit of the Age)
 Aam Fikri Mughaltay  (Common Intellectual Errors)

Tributes
"Ali Abbas Jalalpuri was a very rigorous historian of Philosophy and Epistemology. As the dominant mode of Philosophy in Indian Subcontinent has been "Analytical" I include him in the first trend as well. He is amongst first of the Modern Pakistani academics who took interest in the "Question of Civilization", "History of Ideas" and "Academic Clarity", "Relationship of Metaphysics, Language and Folklore", the questions which would eventually become most important issues for European Philosopher especially after "Structuralist" revolution in Paris. Jalalpuri was aware of the inconsistencies and contradictions in explaining Iqbal when subjected to traditional Analytical Model of Philosophy. Where to place Iqbal in the Web of Modern Philosophical Ideas?" was the question he faced and he thought he had theperfect solution. Instead of trying to put Iqbal in the Project of Modernity and face the problem of Contradiction, Jalalpuri placed Iqbal among the traditional Islamic Philosophers or the "Kalamist". So the "Paradox" is "Avoided", Instead of Philosopher, Iqbal is a "Schoolmen" trying to complete "Islamic Scholasticism" after Ghezali. Jalalpuri is rigorous in his work. due to non existent academy, the trend ended with him. "Completing Islamic Scholasticism" is certainly a part of Iqbal's work, but it's a Part, not the whole."

"In 1971, Ali Abbas Jalalpuri wrote a very comprehensive critique of Iqbāl's theology of modernity. He faults Iqbāl for selective and arbitrary interpretation of the Qur'ānic verses. To him, ambivalence towards pantheism and Ibn Arabi (d. 1240) at some places, his devotion to the pantheist Rumi, and his idea of Absolute Ego make it clear that Iqbāl's theology has deep roots in pantheism."

Detailed Globe Drawings of Cities Around the World by Amer Ismail

https://www.archdaily.com/915460/detailed-globe-drawings-of-cities-around-the-world-by-amer-ismail
Amer Ismail, architect-turned-artist based in London, has developed a spectacular set of intricate "Globe Drawings" of cities around the world. Beginning in 2016, Ismail developed these 5-point-perspective drawings with heavy inspiration from artist Stephen Wiltshire. Having spent many years drawings architecture, including time at Foster+Partners, Ismail tasked himself with developing a series that encompassed his "interest for architecture, city planning, travel, drawings, and Star Wars."
The Globe Drawings are inspired by Ismail's travels to cities across the world, having experienced almost 50 countries to date. In the beginning, the drawings relied heavily upon images from Google Maps, and Ismail's personal library of photographs, but as time went on, his goal moved from an accurate depiction of space to a reimagination based on his actual experience and knowledge of city planning. This paved the way for later works which are totally imagined cities that could function if built one day.
The process begins by drawing natural elements such as rivers, lakes, and mountains on paper. Ismail then zones the areas allowing him to place key roads within the globe, before then placing building and parks to connect the rest of the city. The drawings are therefore an exercise in city planning as much as they are an artistic one.
The drawings, with a diameter of 360mm playing on their 360-degree nature, are admittedly time-consuming for Ismail to create. It takes between 1 and 3 weeks to produce each piece, at a rate of 12 hours per day. However, Ismail enjoys the challenge and takes great satisfaction from watching the work continue to evolve.
I became more interested in representing it as a black dot - indicative of cities one would find in maps and atlases. The globes were rendered darker and the details less visible. This brought memories of me navigating through the pages of an Atlas given as a kid which spurred my interest in geography and cities early on – today the globe has evolved into a totally abstract work of which launched my career as an artist.

Kidnappings, killings dent Buhari's leadership, says CAN
...Urges Nigerians to adhere to COVID-19 protocols
in News, News Update
Reverend Samson Olasupo Ayokunle
By Gbenga Omokhunu, Abuja
The Leadership of the Christians Association of Nigerian (CAN) on Thursday said the incessant killings and kidnappings in the country has dented President Muhammadu Buhari's administration.
He advised political officer holders and civil servants to listen to Godly admonition, adding that their wisdom alone cannot curb insecurity and restore peace in the country.
CAN President, Rev. Samson Ayokunle in his New Year message titled: 'Dwelling in the Secret Place of the Mist High: Key to Overcoming Challenges throughout the Year', advised all to love one another so as to put an end to: "cruelty against one another under any guise. Nigerians deserve to have their rest of mind".
Ayokunle pleaded with Nigerians to adhere to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) protocols no matter the situation.
The CAN boss in a statement issued in Abuja and made available to The Nation said: "I plead with all of us to please observe all the COVID-19 protocols this year. Maintain social distancing, do hand washing or use sanitizer. Make sure you always wear your face mask whenever you are out from your house until we all together, under God, wipe away this wicked virus from the face of the earth. Avoid frivolous traveling meanwhile and use virtual meetings where possible for your safety.

"I urge all those in political power in our nation to lead with humility by listening to Godly admonition because their wisdom alone may not be enough to reposition our nation, especially, to restore our security and bring about peace and prosperity presently eluding our nation. The present spate of kidnappings for ransom or death, terrorism, banditry, herdsmen attack, armed robbery and other anti-social activities in our nation are dents on the leadership of our nation. Though, we understand that leadership is tough and sympathize with those in power, Nigerians at the same time expect that leadership would rise more gallantly to address our near horrible socio-economic situation in this nation which is almost crippling us.
"I congratulate everyone of us whom God has spared to see this New Year in the midst of the dreadful and devastating coronavirus that ravaged our world and sent many people to early graves more than any war in the recent past. The high and the low really fell in 2020. While we again commiserate with those who lost their loved ones and pray for fortitude for them to bear the loss, it is right for the rest of us to say, 'to God alone be the glory.' My prayer is that, the God of mercy who showed us mercy in 2020 shall continue to show us mercy in this New Year in Jesus' name".
He said that the best way to overcome the challenges of this year without loosing anything is to dwell in the 'Secret Place of the Most High', adding that: "This would cause us to abide under the shadow of the Almighty always according to Psalm 91, beginning from verse one. The whole Psalm is appropriate as our watchword to overcome all challenges of the year.
"I was reading in the newspaper the statement of Bill Gates who said that he could not explain why COVID-19 mortality was low in Africa generally where healthcare was poorer than the Developed World. The right answer is that dwelling in the secret place of the Most High saved Africa. We are technologically poor but we believe we have a big and great God whom we can trust, whom we can run to His secret place and abide under His shadow. The mercy of God made the difference in Africa, especially Nigeria where health experts predicted that 30 million people would die. I am not saying that the advanced nations of the world do not believe in God but that our own lack of human strength, lack of health infrastructure (though not our pride), have made us to trust in God more than human science and technology. The mercy of God has preserved us and will continue to preserve us all the days of our lives in the name of Jesus Christ.
"The secret place of the Most High is like the VIP lounge where important people stay in the airport. It is different from the common lounge where other travellers stay. It is equipped with better chairs for maximum comfort and with other services making waiting at the airport more comfortable. On behalf of Christian Association of Nigeria, I wish everyone in this nation a Happy, Prosperous and COVID-19 free New Year 2021 in Jesus' name."
We have leaders at all levels, says Obi

Are you shopping for ivory wedding shoes? If you're having problems choosing the perfect wedding shoes that would complement you and your gown as well, then try ivory bridal shoes. It can have a classic yet stylish appearance that would truly highlight your wedding dress.
Traditionally, white and ivory wedding shoes are most commonly used in weddings. Due to the fact that weddings have been modernized, wedding planners and designers are creating a new face when it comes to wedding ideas. They have created and designed modern and trendy gowns, shoes, wedding bands, and accessories.
Though ivory wedding shoes is a traditional wedding shoes, shoe designers gave ivory shoes a new look that would be perfect for a modern bride. Ivory wedding shoes come in intricate designs with accessories like large gems and bows, beautiful handcrafted flowers, and laces.
The most popular style of ivory wedding shoes nowadays is the high-heeled peep toe style. It has an elegant cut that most brides will surely love. It is perfect with tea length bridal gowns. But this style is not for everyone. If you're a tall bride, wearing high heeled shoes wouldn't fit your height and it would be great if you choose flat ivory wedding shoes instead. Flat ivory wedding shoes are available with so many gorgeous designs such as the classic and exquisite styles.
Aside from peep toes and flats, there are also wedges and ballet slippers. And if you're having a beach wedding, it would be nice to wear an ivory flip flops. For an informal wedding, a pair of ivory sandals would be great.
Lastly, don't forget comfort. Remember that you'll be standing and dancing all day long so you'll have to wear something that you're comfortable with. You also have to smile a lot, but with aching feet, it is not possible to do that. But if you still insist on wearing a stunningly beautiful ivory wedding shoes that you're not really comfortable, buy a pair of ivory flip flops and wear it after the ceremony so your feet won't hurt even if you have to stand all day long.
If you're going to choose the right shade of ivory wedding shoes, make sure that it won't match the shade or color of your wedding gown. Pick a shade that is in contrast to the color of you dress so it would make you really stand out. Ivory wedding shoes are not made to match your wedding gown; it is made to complement your gown.


OTTAWA, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Oct. 14, 2010) - His Excellency the Right Honourable David Johnston, Governor General of Canada, will present the Governor General's Awards in Commemoration of the Persons Case to five laureates during a ceremony to be held at Rideau Hall, on Monday, October 18, 2010, at 10 a.m.
In 1929, five women from Alberta won the judiciary battle that granted Canadian women the right to be recognized as persons. The Governor General's Awards in Commemoration of the Persons Case were established in 1979 by the government of Canada, with the support of former governor general, the Right Honourable Edward Schreyer, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of this historic decision. These awards have highlighted Canadian contributions to the advancement of women's equality and have celebrated Canada's evolution as an inclusive society.
For additional information about the Persons Case award or the laureates, please visit the Status of Women Canada Web site: www.cfc-swc.gc.ca.
Members of the media wishing to cover the ceremony are asked to confirm their presence in advance with the Rideau Hall Press Office and must present themselves at the Princess Anne Entrance by 9:30 a.m.


Length 14-18 cm; mass 45-97 g. A small, heavily streaked, grey owl with ear tufts. The face is surrounded by black edging.
A frog-like prrup repeated every 5-8 seconds; often for several minutes.
They breed in a tree cavity. 4-6 eggs laid from April – June and incubated for 27 days. Young fledge by about 30 days.


This weekend Suzanne was rummaging through the closet and came across a box with some of our old pictures and videos from our honeymoon cruise almost 20 years ago. We took a wonderful cruise to Alaska onboard the venerable Holland America Rotterdam. She was commissioned in 1958 and sailed the seas until 2000 when she went out of service.

Q: How would I sort a String List by Integers in that String? *Java* I have a query.  In my Java program I have a list of Strings, but I need to know how to sort them by an Integer contained in the Strings.
For Example:
ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();

And in that list:
"PersonOne - 1234 seconds";
"PersonTwo - 5678 seconds";

I need to sort it by the numbers in each of the Strings. (There will be more items in the list).

A: Start by transforming these strings into structured objects (Score, for example) containing a name (String) and a number of seconds (int). Then sort these objects by their number of seconds.
Parsing the string should be quite simple: you just need to find the index of the first dash, and the index of the first space after the dash. The String javadoc should help you find how to look for characters in a string, and how to extract substrings.
Note that unless these string come from some file or external resource that you have to parse, you shouldn't have to parse them in the first place. Use Score objects from the start, and only transform them as Strings when you have to print them.

A: Use a custom comparator:
Collections.sort(list, new Comparator<String> () {
    public int compare(String a, String b) {
        return Integer.compare(Integer.parseInt(a.replaceAll("\\D", "")), Integer.parseInt(b.replaceAll("\\D", "")));
    }
});

You can even create a helper method to make the code cleaner:
Collection.sort(list, new Comparator<String> () {
    public int compare(String a, String b) {
        return Integer.compare(parse(a), parse(b));
    }
    int parse(String s) {
        return Integer.parseInt(s.replaceAll("\\D", ""));
    }
});

A: If your ArrayList element is of same format as PersonOne - 1234 seconds from this you can take the integers as,
String str = "PersonOne - 1234 seconds";
int integer = Integer.ParseInt(str.split("\\s")[2]);

take all integers in this format and sort it.

A: Since you have the strings in a list, you can write a custom comparator to do this.
In the comparator, you need to extract the number. To do that, you can split on the - followed by splitting on the space.
public static void main(String[] args) {
    ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
    list.add("PersonTwo - 5678 seconds");
    list.add("PersonOne - 1234 seconds");
    list.add("PersonOnedf - 34 seconds");

    System.out.println("Initial : " + list);
    Collections.sort(list, new Comparator<Object>() {
           @Override
           public int compare(Object arg0, Object arg1) {
               String s1 = (String)arg0;
               String s2 = (String)arg1;
               Integer n1 = Integer.parseInt(s1.split("-")[1].trim().split(" ")[0]);
               Integer n2 = Integer.parseInt(s2.split("-")[1].trim().split(" ")[0]);
               return (n1 < n2 ? -1 : 1);
           }
       });

     System.out.println("Sorted : " + list);

}

Output :

  Initial : [PersonTwo - 5678 seconds, PersonOne - 1234 seconds, PersonOnedf - 34 seconds]
  Sorted : [PersonOnedf - 34 seconds, PersonOne - 1234 seconds, PersonTwo - 5678 seconds]

A: I think your array should not be simply an array of String. Inseted you can create an class that contains tow variable name of type String and time of type Integer. after that you can create an array of objects of the class you created. Then you can sort you list based on the time in second.
the class will be some how like the following: (NOTE: the coded is not tested)
     public class SomeClassName
  {
    private String name;
    private Integer time;

    // Constructors

    public SomeClassName()
    {
    super();
    }

    public SomeClassName(String name, Integer time)
    {
    this.name=name;
    this.time=time;
    }
    // create setter and getter methods

    public void setName(String name)
    {
    this.name=name
    }

    public void setTime(Integer time)
    {
    this.time=time
    }

    public String getName()
    {
    return name;
    }
    public Integer getTime()
    {
    return time;
    }

}

then you can create an array of that class as follow:
ArrayList<SomeClassName> list = new ArrayList<SomeClassName>();
list.add( new SomeClassName("PersonOne" ,1234) );
list.add( new SomeClassName("PersonTwo",5678) );

to sort an ArrayList of objects based on some attribute you nee to use custom compactor. check this link: Sort ArrayList of custom Objects by property

In Nigeria, Government Doesn't Understand Climate Change
by Odimegwu Onwumere	 March 20, 2014 53 Views
The Chairman, House of Representatives Committee on Climate Change, Hon.
Eziuche Ubani, speaking in an occasion in Abuja, said that government has
not done its best in terms of proper responses to climate change.
At a meeting with officials of the Department of Climate Change, Federal
Ministry of Environment, October 2013 at the National Assembly, Ubani after
going through the budget recital on Environmental matters, said that from
the low funds being proposed for climate change, Nigeria is in danger of
being left behind.
There is lack of information and knowledge about climate change and
Nigerians are reluctant to accept the reality. There is low level of
awareness about climate change in Nigeria, and the way it is presented to
"Government policies have not really encouraged and supported the
contributions to adaptation of individuals, households, community
organizations and enterprises," said a Port Harcourt-based Journalist.
"More than half of bush burning throughout Nigeria is deliberately lit,
costing millions of naira damages annually," said a source.
"In its budget last year, the department of climate change in the Ministry
of Environment had a budget that was under N500 million, and the whole
country was to be managed climate challenge-wise from the microscopic
budget," Ubani lamented.
"This was a big blow to the ministries of agriculture, transportation,
aviation, water resources to make their budget climate change
mitigation-compliant," enthused a source.
Part of the dangers to climate change is gas flaring, which the Nigerian
Supreme Court in 2005 saw as illegal having formally banned it in 1984 and
declared it "unconstitutional", yet statistics showed that companies
operating in the Niger Delta region have not stopped, but have only reduced
flaring to 10% since 2007.
Ubani had said that this goes back to the country's lack of understanding
of the climate change mitigation in all its ramifications.
"Some of these gases stay over 100 years before they dissolve. Even those
on ground don't actually dissipate or dissolve, they have a long life span
with severe consequences.
"Some contaminate underground water. The ones that go to the atmosphere
like carbon have the potential to impact the ozone layer, which is why we
have shifts. Impacting the ozone layer means that there is distortion in
the balancing, resulting in varying weather patterns," said Ubani.
UNFULFILLED PROMISES
The House of Representatives in a testimony in 2009 set December 31, 2012
as the new date for the achievement of zero gas flaring in the country. But
an Act to amend the Associated Gas Re-injection Act, No.99 of 1979 Cap.A25
laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004, was later exhausted. Less than 50%
has been achieved.
"Nigeria is burning off an equivalent of USD1.4 billion dollars annually,
but this is profoundly in a most contemptuous disregard to laws and
judicial declarations against gas flaring…
"We are not talking about the dangers of fumes from generators to human
health and climate change," a Port Harcourt-based Engineer Philip Owhonda
The Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke on Monday,
March 4th, 2013, said that the country has a "new target", which is not to
bring a total end to gas flaring but to meet 22 per cent of gas flaring
reduction by 2017, which is characterised as "on the short-term".
The World Bank said that while flaring has been cut by 30% since 2005,
$50bn worth of gas is still wasted annually.
Ex-head of State Yakubu Gowon, pointed out in 2011, how Nigeria had lost
her leading role in Liquefied Natural Gas production to countries such as
Qatar and Australia.
The Bureau of Public Enterprises study, estimates Nigeria's losses to gas
flaring at between $500 million and $2.5 billion a year.
"The lackadaisical approach of government to climate change has become a
problem to even food supply and loss to biodiversity and, fuelwood
unavailability. Government is instigating off disaster in the environment
by not upholding to its promises," decried an expert.
CATTLE GRAZING
The Chairman, House of Representatives Committee on Climate Change also
admonished on raising cattle that it should not be about the continuous
movement of animals in the bush.
"They can be compelled to be in some kind of location where some incentives
are provided for the growth of pasture," he advised.
He believed that the herdsmen have to embrace mechanised farming or the
country has to devise other ways for which pasture can be grown much more
quickly, so that in a very small area a lot of pasture can be grown that
would sustain a large number of livestock.
"If we don't do things today and decide to leave them for tomorrow, the
cost and consequences will be bigger. The choice before us is to say, let
everybody continue to produce and graze and then let the desert be coming.
Let us be having desertification up to a point we are not able to even grow
or raise one herd of livestock," he counseled.
According to him, there are ways that these can be managed through
irrigation. "If there is irrigation in place that means that they can have
pasture."
Ubani held that people thought this might be capital intensive and the
illiterate nomadic farmer can't flow with such an idea, but "it is feasible
if everybody understands the dangers posed by adverse climate change."
Although, Nigeria has signed up to the United Nations Framework Convention
for Climate Change, Hon. Ubani presupposed that what the citizens need to
do is to have the wakefulness that there are changes in the environment and
that they need to understand the causes.
"We need to understand the actions that we need to take in the policy
process to be able to address them at the national, state and council
"We have to check the way we hand permits for logging in the rural areas
for example. This is just one example of the things that require changing.
These are the sorts of action as opposed to the understanding of the causes
and what we need to do," Ubani stated.
He adjoined that there is need to mainstream climate change mitigation in
the country's budgets and bring that into the country's development process
to say that for instance in 2020 or 2050, carbon emission must have been
driven down to a particular level. According to him, there should be the
creation of organisations that would preside-over climate change
mitigation.
"This is the governance architecture that we need to put in place, which we
do not have now. This means embracing programmes that would contribute to
the quantum of efforts to bring down Nigeria's emission of Green House
gases or to respond to those changes that we know. Rather than just
budgeting, like that to say, they can also say that okay they are planting
a number of trees to bring down carbon emission. Those are not quite in
place now," Ubani said.

Recently we had a call from a concerned customer. He had purchased a 1/8" single line stripe roll to accent his billet wheels and had trouble with adhesion, even after multiple surface cleanings.
So, in this article, I would like to talk about proper surface preparation. We have a tendency to use our eyes to make the distinction between clean and dirty, but when it comes to adhesives, contamination is the word to be concerned with. In the automotive aftermarket realm, the two most contaminated surfaces would probably be tires/wheels and interior trim due to "shine" products used on them. Usually these products have a large amount of silicone-like ingredients that are great to shine a tire or dash but crazy hard to stick anything to. Another area that is often overlooked is the paint surface around the wheel opening. A heavily dressed tire will spray a fine mist of product onto the body of the car during highway driving and affect overall adhesive performance.
All that being said, if you want proper adhesion of your pinstripes and vehicle graphics, you must get the surface clean.
Isopropyl alcohol will lift these shine products but will not destroy them. What I mean here is that you can take a clean shop rag and soak it with alcohol, and wipe the surface and the silicone will collect in the cloth. Unfortunately, it only takes a few wipes to saturate the material with silicone and you eventually start putting it back on the surface. The only way to get it all off is to use multiple rags, turning them frequently during the process.
Once you feel that your work surface is clean, do it all over again.
Then check adhesion using masking tape or a section of the stripe tape that you intend to use. If there is still silicone contaminating the surface, the pinstripe tape will not stick. A good way to quickly test a surface for stripe application is the old "squeaky clean" method. After wiping the surface the last time, wash your hands and the drag your fingers across the surface and feel for the squeak. Surface contaminants such as silicones or waxes will reduce friction and kill the squeak, thus causing difficulty during install as well as premature product failure. If you've followed all of these steps and still have a slick surface, you may have a Teflon type of paint protection that alcohol will not break through. At this point you will need to take the cleaner to the next level. Denatured alcohol is much more potent and still safe on factory paint, although it is always recommended that you try any cleaner on an out of the way location to make sure it's safe for your application surface.
That's a lot of information to digest on a seemingly simple subject but it will make the difference between success and failure when applying auto graphics and stripes.

I always find it fascinating how easy it is to associate certain foods with specific categories (in certain cultures). For example, I grew up having very specific foods for breakfast one of which was always sweet: oatmeal. However, over the years, I've come to appreciate oats for their warm, not-too-overpowering flavor and their ability to be a perfect bed for produce. So, I've paired my favorite preparation of greens with creamy steel cut oats for a savory oatmeal. This is the perfect breakfast or even dinner and comes together in the time it takes to cook the oats. Read more and see the recipe.

Our Most Popular Marijuana Stories of 2020
Marijuana sales may have been immune to the coronavirus pandemic, but headlines this year certainly weren't. Looking back at our most popular stories of 2020, we found breaking news pieces about public-health orders and dispensary closures, reports of federal stimulus checks spurring weed sales, and budtender observations about their jobs during COVOD-19 concerns.
There was marijuana news outside of the pandemic, though, and readers took notice. Tales of pot shop history and scoops about new brands also stirred interest this year, as did business stories announcing large takeovers of well-known dispensary chains.
Here are Westword's ten most-read marijuana stories of 2020:
"Denver Closes Recreational Marijuana Dispensaries to Limit COVID-19"
As part of a citywide stay-at-home order to limit the spread of coronavirus during the early days of the pandemic, on March 23 Mayor Michael Hancock announced that recreational marijuana dispensaries and liquor stores would be among the businesses that must close that day, and remain closed for over two weeks, in order to discourage large gatherings of people. So what did the people do immediately after the announcement? Gather in large groups to get marijuana and liquor. The city's interpretation of Hancock's original executive order deemed that liquor stores and recreational pot shops weren't essential, but they seemed pretty essential to panicking customers. Hancock clarified his order within hours, and dispensaries and liquor stores are both now considered essential businesses.
"RIP: Eight Dispensary Chains That Have Disappeared From Denver"
The legal marijuana industry may be new to most of the country, but it's already old enough in Denver for us to look back on the early days. And as the industry matures, some familiar names from those days have disappeared. For a quick walk down marijuana memory lane, we listed eight dispensary chains that once looked destined for expansion, only to be consumed by deep pockets, poor planning or criminal behavior.
Colorado Governor Jared Polis, seen here visiting a dispensary, has issued numerous executive orders related to marijuana during the COVID-19 pandemic.

"Polis: Recreational Dispensaries Will Go Curbside; Medical Stores Still Open"
Denver's mayor wasn't the only elected official who quickly backtracked on marijuana rules during the start of the coronavirus pandemic. In March, Governor Jared Polis issued an executive order that recreational dispensaries across the state would have to close for in-person sales for two weeks and convert to curbside operations only. Polis reversed the decision days later, though, and allowed recreational pot shops to remain open for in-person shopping.
"Reader: Marijuana Users Should Stop Smoking During Virus Scare"
Self-quarantines and sitting at home because of coronavirus concerns will lead many of us to break out the bong, but our resident Stoner advised marijuana users to keep those smoking utensils to themselves (mouthpieces are natural resting places for germs, and can still carry them even after being wiped down with alcohol). However, a reader comment on this issue generated the most buzz; according to one commenter, a registered nurse, pot smokers can be at even higher risk for COVID-19.

"First Colorado Cookies Dispensary Opening November 5"
Official Cookies strains have been available in Colorado since May through a licensing deal with another grower, but the first Cookies dispensary finally opened in November. Located on South Broadway's Green Mile, the new Cookies store had inspired long lines of excited customers before the doors opened on the first day, and the store had stayed full since.
"Why Some Airports Carry Weed Amnesty Boxes and Denver Doesn't"
Tourists visiting Colorado are a big part of the state's marijuana economy, and some of them end up tossing out their leftover vacation weed at the airport, a few of which have special boxes for marijuana disposal. Although Denver International Airport doesn't have marijuana amnesty boxes, the next-largest airport in the state does. According to Colorado Springs airport officials, the boxes were rolled out in 2014, and collected a total of 17,003 grams of marijuana through the end of 2019. Aspen-Pitkin County Airport also has marijuana amnesty boxes; it started with one in 2014 but eventually increased to three because of how full the bins were getting.
"Sixteen Places Where You Can Consume Weed Legally in Denver (Not Including Your House)"
Whether you agree with the rules or not, people are always looking for somewhere outside of their homes to smoke weed. This happened before the pandemic, it's happening during the pandemic (even though the vast majority of pot-friendly events and establishments are closed during COVID-19's winter wave), and it will happen after the pandemic.

"A Budtender's Essential Observations During the COVID-19 Pandemic"
A Denver budtender and standup comedian wants dispensary shoppers to act right during the COVID-19 pandemic, and that includes practicing social distancing, pre-ordering before visiting the store, and tipping your budtender.
"Major Dispensary Takeover Set for September 1"
The Green Solution, one of Colorado's largest dispensary chains, first agreed to be acquired by Columbia Care Inc., a publicly traded company based in New York, in 2019. The deal — $110 million in Columbia Care stock, $15 million in cash and $15 million in senior loans for 23 TGS dispensaries and six growing operations — was expected to take place in early 2020, but that projection was pushed back to the year's second quarter, which ended June 30, and then pushed back again. As several other announced marijuana acquisitions disappeared in 2020 and the COVID-19 pandemic brought financial uncertainty to the stock market, questions about the future of the TGS deal began to emerge. Those questions were answered in September, however, when the deal officially closed.
"Stimulus Checks, the Unofficial Federal Aid for Weed Shops"
The marijuana industry didn't receive any official federal aid from business bailout packages (and probably won't in any future federal legislation), but it did receive some help thanks to April's round of national stimulus payments, just in time for the 4/20 holiday. According to dispensary ordering platform I Heart Jane, 1,300-plus dispensaries across the country saw an average 48 percent increase in sales dollars on April 15, compared to an average weekday. According to Flowhub, another dispensary data tracker, recreational sales in Colorado were up 57 percent and medical marijuana sales up 39 percent on April 15 compared to the prior Wednesday.

Eating disorders and self-harm in Japanese culture and cultural expressions
Hansen, Gitte Marianne
Since the 1980s, eating disorders and self-harm among Japanese women have been on the rise. This socio-cultural study suggests that these behaviours are based in Japanese culture and have today become a female lifestyle. Motivated by cultural and historical constructions of femininity and the fear of social disintegration, this female lifestyle expresses a paradox: an attempt by women to over-perform and at the same time escape the obligation to navigate normative femininity. In parallel, eating disorders and self-harm are explicitly thematized in Japanese cultural expressions, from literature and manga to films and popular music. Using accounts from women engaged in this lifestyle, in addition to various fictional representations, this study conceptualizes a set of socio-psychological markers that exposes how eating disorders and self-harm are potentially represented in cultural expressions where such behaviours are not explicitly thematized. Miyazaki Hayao's animation Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi from 2001 serves as an example of how eating disorders, as a female lifestyle, have become a normative form of entertainment.

Four Presidents Later: Does The Media Feel Any Remorse now? And Will They Next Time?
Americans were glued to their TV's and other electronic devices to watch the burial of the 41 st President of the United States. Many of us recalled a kind and gentle man with extreme courage and love of country; a man who led the country through turmoil while gaining some very significant achievements. Without exception, every media outlet praised President Bush. However, it was not always that way.
Often the mainstream media mistook kindness for weakness, even going so far as to call this war hero a "wimp." Today, of course, they seem to feel at least some remorse.
That means the mainstream media is feeling "deep regret or guilt for a wrong committed." If someone truly feels remorse, then they should try to reverse any similar wrong they may currently be committing. Considering at least three studies have shown that more than 90% ofPresident Trump's media coverage is negative, perhaps that's a wrong that should be corrected.
In fact, from the time that the results of the presidential election were released in November 2016 the media has been writing about Trump with a definite negative bias. This bias has hindered Trump's ability to move the nation forward. It has also helped to convince a significant portion of Americans that Trump is an evil man, hell bent on destroying Democracy. In 20 years or so, America could be watching the funeral of former President Donald Trump. It could happen that Trump's policies provided very positive results. Already his accomplishments are substantial, especially considering every Democrat in Congress votes against him, some members of his own party continue to be "never Trumper's" and 90% of his media coverage is negative.
Suppose though, his economic policies resulted in a big growth spurt so that in 2020 the economy grew at a 7% annual rate. That's about the growth rate in 1984, just two years after the Reagan tax cut in 1982. Suppose the high growth rate provided opportunities for all Americans as growth remained above 4% for most of his last five years in office. College graduates would longer be underemployed so that their incomes easily carry their college debt and provided a nice lifestyle. Discouraged workers would come back into the labor market and find jobs paying enough to at least support them on their own. Millions more people will be working.
Many families, who had been trapped into the welfare state, would become self-sufficient. Income inequality would have been reduced. Consumer confidence would have stayed at very high levels meaning Americans felt more secure.
Suppose further, he coaxed Congress into finally passing immigration legislation. Suppose the trade war he fought in 2018 and 2019 led to European and Asian markets being opened up to American producers. And suppose he was able to protect American intellectual property. Suppose Trump negotiated a new treaty with Iran that truly insured Iran would never have a nuclear weapon. Suppose he also negotiated with North Korea which then became a completely nuclear free country and started to participate in the global economy.
And finally suppose he brought members from both sides of the aisle together to come up with a health care law that lowered the cost, improved the quality and increased coverage. While all of that may seem nearly impossible for any president to accomplish, Trump could accomplish those things. If he does, how will the media react at the end of his life. Will they be remorseful?
Americans would be feeling more freedom, more independence and more security. Some will argue that Trump did not do enough to solve problems with the environment. Or that he wasn't more compassionate with social programs. Others will say he put too many conservative judges on the bench which means for years the courts too may be less compassionate.
Overall though, Trump could be remembered as a president who restored the principles of freedom and individual responsibility. He was the one who brought Americans true economic prosperity and more security. And he did this will facing tremendous obstacles.

FAQs About Treasury Marketable Securities
What are U.S. Treasury Securities?
U.S. Treasury Securities are debt instruments. The U.S. Department of the Treasury issues Securities to raise the money needed to operate the federal government.
The U.S. Treasury periodically buys back unmatured Treasury marketable securities. Buybacks do not always occur on a regular pattern. With buybacks:
Treasury has more flexibility in managing the public debt.
Treasury can continue offering regular new securities in appropriate size and maturities.
Treasury can absorb extra cash whenever revenues are greater than the immediate spending need, making them a good cash management tool.
Treasury may be able to lower the government's interest expense by buying higher-yield debt and replacing it with lower-yield debt.
Why should I buy a Treasury security?
Treasury securities are considered a safe and secure investment option because the full faith and credit of the U.S. government guarantees that interest and principal payments will be paid on time. Also, most Treasury securities are liquid, which means they can easily be sold for cash.
What types of securities are offered to individual investors?
We sell Treasury Bills, Notes, Bonds, TIPS, FRNs, and U.S. Savings Bonds to individual investors.
How do Treasury Bills, Notes, Bonds, TIPS, and FRNs differ from Savings Bonds?
Unlike Savings Bonds, Treasury Bills, Notes, Bonds, TIPS, and FRNs are transferable, so you can buy or sell them in the secondary market. You can buy Treasury Bills, Notes, Bonds, TIPS, and FRNs for a minimum of $100, and you can buy savings Bonds for as little as $25.
What are STRIPS or zero-coupon securities?
STRIPS, also known as zero-coupon securities, are Treasury securities that don't make periodic interest payments. Market participants create STRIPS by separating the interest and principal parts of a Treasury Note, Bond, or TIPS. For example, a 10-year Treasury Note consists of 20 interest payments - one every six months for 10 years - and a principal payment payable at maturity. When this security is "stripped," each of the 20 interest payments and the principal payment become separate securities and can be held and transferred separately. STRIPS can only be bought and sold through a broker, dealer, or financial institution and held in the Commercial Book-Entry System.

How can I buy a Treasury bill, note, bond, TIPS, or FRNs?
You can buy Treasury Bills, Notes, Bonds, TIPS, or FRNs at one of the auctions we conduct, or in the secondary market. If you want to buy a Treasury security at an auction, set up an account in TreasuryDirect (for noncompetitive bids only) or contact a broker, dealer, or financial institution.
What is a Treasury auction?
Each Treasury Bill, Note, Bond, TIPS, or FRNs is sold at a Treasury auction. In these auctions, all successful bidders are awarded securities at the same price, which is the price based on the highest rate, yield or discount margin of the competitive bids awarded. You can find a complete explanation of the auction process in our Uniform Offering Circular.
How can I find out when an auction will be held?
Before each auction, a press release is issued announcing the security being sold, the amount of the security being offered, the auction date, and other pertinent information.
How can I participate in an auction?
You can participate in an auction by submitting a bid for the security you want to buy. You can bid either noncompetitively or competitively, but not both in the same auction.
You can bid noncompetitively in an amount up to $10 million in each auction. Most individual investors bid noncompetitively. If you bid noncompetitively, you'll receive the full amount of the security you want at the return determined at that auction. Therefore, you don't have to specify the return you'd like to receive.
If you bid competitively, you specify the return - the rate for Bills, yield for Notes, Bonds, and TIPS, or discount margin for FRNs - that you would like to receive. If the return you specify is too high, you might not receive any securities, or just a portion of what you bid for. However, you can bid competitively for much larger amounts than you can noncompetitively.
How do I submit my bid?
You may bid directly through TreasuryDirect (except for cash management bills), TAAPS (with an established account), or you can buy securities through a broker, dealer, or financial institution.
What is the minimum purchase amount for Treasury marketable securities?
The minimum amount that you can purchase of any given Treasury Bill, Note, Bond, TIPS, or FRNs is $100. Additional amounts must be in multiples of $100.
Do I have a choice as to where my Treasury securities are kept?
All Treasury securities are issued in "book-entry" form – an entry in a central electronic ledger. You can hold your Treasury securities in one of two systems: TreasuryDirect or the Commercial Book-Entry System. TreasuryDirect is a direct holding system where you have a direct relationship with us.
The Commercial Book-Entry System is an indirect holding system where you hold your securities with your broker, dealer, or financial institution. The Commercial Book-Entry System is a multilevel arrangement that involves the Treasury, the Federal Reserve System (acting as Treasury's agent), broker, dealer, or financial institution. So, in the Commercial Book-Entry System, there can be one or more entities between you and the Treasury.
What features does TreasuryDirect offer?
TreasuryDirect provides a web-based environment for buying and holding Treasury Bills, Notes, Bonds, TIPS, and FRNs, as well as Savings Bonds. You cannot purchase Cash Management Bills in TreasuryDirect. The TreasuryDirect website can be used to open an account, conduct most transactions, and access account information. Online services are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You designate the financial account or accounts into which we make payments and from which we make withdrawals. There are no fees charged when you open an account or buy securities. TreasuryDirect permits accounts for both individuals and various types of entities including trusts, estates, corporations, partnerships, etc. See Learn More about Entity Accounts for full information on the registration types.
What features does the Commercial Book-Entry System offer?
In the commercial book-entry system, you'll maintain your relationship with your broker, dealer, or financial institution and potentially pay fees for their services. The Commercial Book-Entry System allows you to easily buy and sell securities as well as use them for collateral. You can also hold Treasury securities in stripped form, known as STRIPS or zero-coupon securities, in the Commercial Book-Entry System.
How can I sell my Treasury security before maturity?
If you hold your security in TreasuryDirect you can transfer it to an account in the Commercial Book-Entry System. If you hold your security in the Commercial Book-Entry System, contact your broker, dealer, or financial institution or investment advisor. Normally there is a fee for this service.
How do I receive my interest and principal payments?
In TreasuryDirect, the U.S. Treasury makes interest and principal payments directly to the financial account you choose. In the Commercial Book-Entry System, Treasury's interest and principal payments may flow through several institutions on their way to you. For example, a payment could go from the Federal Reserve to a large bank to a smaller bank to your broker, dealer, or financial institution before it gets to you.
What happens when my security matures?
When your security matures, payment of the principal and the final interest payment are made through TreasuryDirect or the Commercial Book-Entry System. Rather than take payment of the principal, customers of TreasuryDirect can choose to roll the principal into another security by scheduling the security to reinvest
