SRM Arms High-Capacity Model 1216 Rotary-Mag Semi-Auto Combat Shotgun | DefenseReview.com (DR): An online tactical technology and military defense technology magazine with particular focus on the latest and greatest tactical firearms news (tactical gun news), tactical gear news and tactical shooting news.
SRM Arms, Inc., run by Jeffrey Hajjar, introduced a very interesting high-capacity, rotary-magazine-fed semi-auto 12-guage combat shotgun called the Model 1216 that generated a lot of interest at SHOT Show 2008. Magazine capacity is 8, 12, and 16 rounds, depending on either the length of the shotgun (there are several models/sizes) or where your set the front magazine retention latch. The 4-chambered rotary magazine is underbarrel-mounted, and looks like a Calico Light Weapon Systems (CLWS) helical-feed magazine, which is appropriate, since the same designer/engineer designed both magazines. However instead of the rounds being fed in helical fashion, the new shotgun's rotary mag feeds the rounds linearly (i.e. straight), and the shooter has to manually rotate the magazine as he's firing with an ambidextrous thumb lever located above the front of the magazine at the front mag retention latch area. The magazine is rotated by pushing up on the lever and simultaneously rotating the magazine clockwise, if you're right-handed. If your left-handed, you would rotate the magazine in the opposite direction.
two (2) rounds per chamber, so after firing two rounds, you have to manually rotate the magazine. Correspondingly, the 12-round mag gives you three (3) rounds per chamber, and the 16-round mag gives you four (4) rounds per chamber.
The magazine release button is located a little farther forward and is activated with the shooter's weak-hand index finger. The SRM rotary-mag combat shotgun disassembles quickly and easily, and the first part of the procedure is AR-15/M16-like. Once you flip up the upper receiver, you can remove the one-piece bolt carrier group.
The charging/cocking lever is ambidextrous. For a right-handed shooter DefenseReview prefers that it be left-side-situated, so it can be operated with the weak hand.
Subsequent to the show, Defense Review spoke with Chen Lee (a.k.a. "SMGLee") about the SRM Model 1216 semi-auto rotary-mag shotgun, and he had some concerns. First of his concerns is the fact that even with the 16-shot version, you onely have four (4) rounds per chamber. So, if you're involved in a firefight that requires the shooter to fire more than four rounds out of the gun in rapid succession, the shooter has to keep track of the rounds he's firing as he's fighting, in order to know when to manually rotate the mag, which is probably not easy to do under stress.
Based on his analysis and handling of the SRM shotgun, Mr. Lee believes that he can engage more targets more quickly with his Benelli M1 Super 90 combat shotgun, which allows him to carry nine (9) rounds in the weapon ready to go, including one of the rounds riding on the bolt carrier, which is unique to the Benelli.
DefRev wonders if it's possible to develop the weapon so that the magazine automatically rotates as each chamber empties. We'll post this question to Mr. Hajjar when we speak with him again.
Lee also doesn't like the location of the manual thumb lever for rotating the magazine. He thinks it's located too far forward for comfortable operation, and would prefer that it be located significantly further back on the weapon.
Defense Review shot video of the SRM 1216 shotgun at the shows everything we've written about the weapon, above. We'll try to post it as soon as possible.

MossyMade: Do you want to Build a Snowman?
Today I have another holiday snowman card to share. This card has a fun snowman created with Simon Says Stamp Build a Snowman set.
I love that this stamp set has coordinating dies making it easy to cut out the pieces to build the snowman with. I used the forest border die and the matching stitched hillside die from Lawn fawn to create my scene for my snowy friend.
I added some stardust stickles to the snowman's accessories like frost or snow settled on them. I also added some tuxedo black pico embellisher for his eyes to make them shine.

Empyrean Production & Q4 2013 Operational Update
Source: www.gulfoilandgas.com 2/12/2014, Location: North America
Empyrean Energy, the profitable US onshore oil, gas and condensate exploration, development and production company with assets in Texas and California, is pleased to provide the following production and operations update for the three month period to the end of December 2013 ('Q4 2013' or the 'Quarter'). Empyrean has a 3% working interest in its flagship Sugarloaf AMI ('Sugarloaf' or the 'Project') in the prolific Eagle Ford Shale, Texas. The Project is operated by Marathon Oil Company, a subsidiary of US major Marathon Oil Corporation ('Marathon' or the 'Operator').
Empyrean CEO, Tom Kelly said, " The previous quarter was characterised by increased production and drilling and Marathon's commitment to co-develop the Austin Chalk alongside the Eagle Ford Shale is a major breakthrough for the Sugarloaf AMI partners, demonstrating its strong intention to continue this trend. In the short to medium term this development is likely to have a positive impact on reserves and value and in turn, to increase Empyrean's revenues and profits. When viewed in conjunction with the positive down-spacing results and improvements in forecasted development drilling costs for 2014, Empyrean is confident that it can efficiently and effectively unlock the intrinsic value apparent at Sugarloaf.
"Notably, the exciting nature of the Eagle Ford Shale has also been reflected through recent M&A activity regarding our partner, Aurora Oil & Gas Ltd, which has received a proposed takeover offer valued at AUD$1.84 billion (market capitalisation) or C$2.5 billion (including debt). This demonstrates the extent of industry interest in the region and endorses its future upside potential. Our focus is to fully maximise the commerciality of this asset alongside our experienced major partners, and to accelerate the creation of further value for shareholders."
As at the end of December 2013, Empyrean had 119 gross wells that were producing at Sugarloaf. This represents an increase of 18 wells since the end of September 2013. In addition, there was one well drilling ahead and four further wells waiting for, or in the process of having, completion/stimulation operations. Average daily net production for the 3 months to 31 December 2013 was approximately 904 boe/day. This was up marginally from production during the previous quarter which stood at 896 boe/day. This production figure has been calculated using the physical sales data received to date from Marathon for October and November 2013 for oil, gas and NGL's. For December 2013, the oil sales data has been used and an estimate of the gas and NGL's has been calculated using separate wellhead production numbers received for the gas. This method is due to the fact that the NGL's are stripped out of the gas after wellhead gas is recorded and accurate final NGL and gas production numbers are reported to the Company after they are sold some months later.
Empyrean is cooperating with AWE Limited (ASX Code: AWE), its ASX listed partner in the Sugarloaf AMI, to have an updated independent reserves assessment completed by DeGolyer and MacNaughton with an effective date of 31 December 2013. A further announcement will be made when the report has been finalised. Sugarloaf Block A
As announced on 23 September 2013, two wells are currently being prepared for fraccing and testing in the Eagle Ford Shale on Block A. The Company understands that fraccing operations are imminent. This participation is a part of Empyrean's interest in 'Sugarloaf Block A' operated by Burlington Resources Oil & Gas Company LP ('Burlington') a subsidiary of ConocoPhillips Company ('Conoco').
Eagle Oil Pool Development Project
There were no new exploration operations carried out during the quarter as Strata-X (TSX.V Code: SXE, and ASX Code: SXA), the operator, is still carrying out work to establish the best alternatives for a new well location to test the oil accumulation in the Eocene aged Gatchell Sands. The project area consists of 5,160 gross acres and the Company has a 57.2% working interest.
In this area, one well was drilled and abandoned by Exxon in 1985. Royal Resources took over the well in 1986 and deepened it, encountering good oil shows in the Eocene Age Gatchell sands at an approximate depth of 13,200 feet. Test rates of up to 192 BBL/d and 427 mcf/d were reported. Approximately 10,000 BBL/d of light oil was recovered but the well was considered to be non-commercial likely due to formation damage by heavy drilling mud and cement squeezing. Subsequent activity on the prospect was met with mechanical issues despite continuing indications of oil shows in the primary target. The Gatchell sands have produced over 1 billion barrels of oil in the Coalinga area approximately 20 miles west and north-west of the Eagle acreage. The Company believes that the Eagle Oil Pool Development Project offers exposure to significant upside and will progress its development in consultation with its project partners.
Riverbend Project
Modest production continues from the Cartwright 1H well that was re-entered for completion into a secondary target zone, the Wilcox formation. Severe weather conditions, which have been well-documented in the US, have recently hampered production whilst production lines have been frozen. The latest report from the operator showed that there were approximately 2,053 acres held by production or lease with a greater area of mutual interest of approximately 40,000 acres. The Company does not have plans to pursue the area of mutual interest at this point in time due to the initial failure to sucessfully complete the Cartwright 1H well in the primary target zone with any commercially viable results. The Company has reviewed the prospectivity of the Riverbend Project and has determined that its funds and resources are better directed towards its flagship development project - the Sugarloaf AMI.
In addition, Empyrean has consulted a US based legal team to conduct an investigation into certain leases that were held under option by the project partners, some of which were recommeded by the previous operator to be exercised and leased but which it has learned were never taken up by the operator on behalf of the project partners. Empyrean's legal team are conducting further enquiries to establish the likely success of any recovery action, given the former operator's bankruptcy, and the cost-effectiveness of pursuing any such action having regard to the anticipated costs. Subsequent investigations have not uncovered any evidence of profiteering or foul play in relation to the leases in question.

Colli made one very special prototype in 1946, the Aerauto PL.5C roadable aircraft. From the 1950s it worked with Alfa Romeo making cars such as 6C 3000CM and its own single variant of Disco Volante. The company built also Giulietta and Giulia estate cars in the 1960s.
In 1955 Colli constructed the very shortly used Arzani-Volpini Formula One car utilising a twin-supercharged Maserati 1500 inline-four engine.

Colli made car bodies until 1973.

AccorHotels Wants to Accelerate Its Buying Spree in 2018
- Feb 21, 2018 3:00 pm
AccorHotels' acquisitions over the last couple of years aren't money makers yet but that's not to say they never will be. CEO Sébastien Bazin is still intent on playing a very different game than the other big hotel companies.
AccorHotels isn't planning on slowing down its aggressive acquisition strategy anytime soon.
The hotel company, which has broadened out into other areas within travel over the last couple of years, expects to continue its seemingly relentless dealmaking in 2018.
"We have the means to grasp our acquisition opportunities in the hotel business but elsewhere too. So we expect to increase the number of acquisitions we will be making over the year," said Jean-Jacques Morin, Accor's chief financial officer at a presentation with analysts after the company's 2017 results.
Since the start of 2016, Accor has bought or invested in more than 12 companies across a range of sectors, adding the likes of Fairmont Raffles Hotels International and Onefinestay to its portfolio.
Buying hotel brands is a logical move for any hotel company but it is the acquisitions outside Accor's comfort zone that have attracted most of the attention. Those include flash deals specialist VeryChic, concierge service John Paul, and events business Potel & Chabot.
The process of integrating them into Accor has not always been easy and they are collectively not turning a profit yet.
Accor's new businesses unit — which includes all its concierge services, luxury home rentals, private sales of luxury hotels and stays, and digital services for independent hotels — reported a revenue rise of 127 percent to $123 million (€100 million) but its loss (earnings before interest and taxes) widened from $30.8 million (€25 million) to $40.7 million (€33 million). Accor said this loss "was affected by an increase in amortization linked to the acquisitions made in 2017." The figures cover the year to the end of December, 2017.
During the same presentation, CEO Sébastien Bazin, acknowledged that Accor had made some mistakes in integrating these companies.
Around 30 percent of "consolidated profit" was supposed to come from the new businesses unit within the next five years," Accor said in 2017. At the moment it is still loss-making.
"We imposed all our IT standards on these companies and it was a nightmare for them to adapt their IT systems in order to respond to the constraints of Accor," Bazin said.
"We spent more time in the back of the house than in front of the house so growth in 2017 isn't what I expected for reasons that are probably linked to Accor…"
Bazin said the growth targets might slip "but that Accor had "lost a year and not the line or the direction".
Total revenue rose 17.7 percent to $2.4 billion (€1.9 billion) with net profit increasing 60.9 percent to €481 million.
In Accor's core hotel services division, revenue rose 14.6 percent to $2.2 billion (€1.7 billion). The Asia-Pacific region (+7.7 percent), was the strongest performer on a like-for-like basis, followed by Europe (+7.2 percent). South America struggled, finishing down 3.3 percent.
Revenue per available room (RevPAR) — a popular hotel industry metric — grew 4.7 percent overall.

NOTE:Tangrowth enabled for quest and off from team is needed for this part, then talk to the thieft in the first house at Blackfell.
Objective: A disputed treasure needs to be set right.
Tips: The item Banette stole is it's mega stone. When you give the item back to the burglar he reveals the mega stone was going to be given to the person that rescued the zombies (you) but he won't give it back as long as he's awake.

Objective: You`re hired! Go rescue the girl!
Tips:Tangela can be found in Darlinghurst town. There is a dark-type move tutor in the Blackfell cave. Sometimes when you destroy a rock there is a level 75 pokemon hiding in it.
Objective: Gather materials for Scientist: Strange Gyarados DNA (from the skeleton), Geode and a Magikarp NOT-originally owned by you.
Solution: Geode is a Rare drop from Geodude, The DNA is from the skeleton on the Undersea Path 1 and magikarp from another user (Of your team, trade, etc and remember to enable it for quest). Once you have all those items, you must go to the secret Den at the north-west on the route 12 (It is inside a big tree). Once inside talk to the scientist and he will start an experiment. Now we will be able to choose 1 of the two options... I took the one with ''rescue the magikarp''. Now go to Strongwater's Poke-market and talk to the scientist inside and buy the ''Useless stone'' for 1000 coins.
Now go outside and head to to the bridge, interact with the magikarp on the ground and you will obtain the ''Mega-Stone''.
Solution: Start this quest by talking to the Sorcerer on the house to the left from the pokecenter at Bluegum Town. We must now go to the Bluegum caves at route 1, once we are there we will have to interact with this rock (Click here). Follow this path (Click here) until you reach a lather. Pick up the item and you must defeat dusknoir many many times. Once we are done, let's go back to the sorcerer at Bluegum town.

For many people, the words "Artificial Intelligence" and "Machine Learning" are more likely to conjure up summary visions of an imagined long run. Most likely a gleaming town: all glossy steel and squeaky blank structures, an international the place digital assistants are at our beck and make contact with. For others the imaginative and prescient is extra dystopian, the place every human concept is a monetizable commodity for company overlords who're hand in glove with an autocratic regime.
No matter summary visions we do bear in mind, in truth that synthetic intelligence and gadget finding out are now not the longer term, they're already a part of our provide, our on a regular basis lived fact.
But there's a thriller related to those phrases, paying homage to the black field symbolism erstwhile related to "Rocket Science". However in contrast to rocket science, which has little sensible worth in our everyday lives, an working out of Synthetic Intelligence and System Finding out can lend a hand us navigate the sector, replicate on fashionable politics or even transform higher electorate.
AI refers back to the talent of a gadget to imitate human-level intelligence in explicit duties, and ML refers to a suite of algorithms evolved by means of laptop scientists to succeed in this talent the use of huge quantities of knowledge. Merely put, ML is a method to the tip this is AI.
However then what can we imply by means of "finding out" and "intelligence" within the first position? Assume a kid is in a kitchen and by accident touches a knife which reasons her to yelp ― if the kitchen is a specifically unhealthy one with loads of knives mendacity about, the coincidence repeats itself quite a lot of instances. The kid quickly spots a trend and figures out that knives motive ache and must be have shyed away from.
Working out that knives are a category of gadgets and that those gadgets could cause ache is "finding out" whilst heading off the knife one day is "intelligence". The implicit software being utilized by the kid to be told is trend reputation, whilst the crucial uncooked fabrics for finding out are information (the ache brought about by means of the knife) and a processing unit (the kid's mind).
Maximum of gadget finding out is basically prediction fashions pushed by means of refined trend reputation algorithms. The ever-growing information being generated by means of web customers and the ever-more environment friendly laptop processors have led to large enhancements within the efficiency of those algorithms within the ultimate decade, which has in large part fueled the foremost advances in AI era that we see as of late.
ML strategies also are now not a silver bullet way to all forms of issues.
Those developments in ML tactics in recent times has ended in a proliferation of prediction fashions throughout a vast vary of contexts. Software spaces range from customized leisure to clinical analysis, from relationship suggestions to prison choices, from climate predictions to regulating agricultural markets ― the listing is going on.
The information for every of those packages could also be very other, for instance: the information for a song advice app would possibly come from how repeatedly you play a selected music, whilst the information for a clinical analysis would possibly come from an x-ray. The average thread operating during the packages is the power to make correct predictions, powered by means of huge datasets and algorithms.
That stated, the label is getting carried out lovely freely because it's a well-liked buzzword. Implemented statisticians, econometricians and laptop scientists have lengthy been within the industry of predicting traits with incessantly very a hit effects. There's a tendency within the information neighborhood to logo comparable strategies from those domain names as gadget finding out, perhaps to capitalize at the hype.
ML strategies also are now not a silver bullet way to all forms of issues. Whilst fashionable ML and AI programs are changing into an increasing number of just right at predictions (or solutions to questions starting with "what" or "who"), they aren't but talented in answering questions across the "how" and "why" of items. In reality, theoretically grounded fashions of the herbal and social international nonetheless dominate when the target is to know mechanisms or to find explanations.
Leaving apart the hyperbole and white noise regardless that, recall to mind probably the most utility spaces the place ML is being effectively hired. Leisure, relationship, healthcare, ecology ― those are all inherently human issues with societal repercussions being pushed by means of algorithms.
Our lives are changing into an increasing number of and inevitably intertwined with those algorithms. No longer strangely then, social scientists, anthropologists and ethicists are beginning to severely analyze how our international is converting because of this entwinement.
The rising box of "AI and Ethics" is focused round prickly questions like polarization, incorrect information, surveillance and inequity on account of algorithmic bias. Books like "Weapons of Math Destruction" and teams just like the "Algorithmic Justice League" which make clear the unfavourable affects of unregulated AI are gaining flooring in the preferred discourse in USA. Stanford additionally just lately established a "Human Centered AI Institute". By the way the fledgling institute is already dealing with grievance for its predominantly white, male and technocrat heavy advisory council!
How this cocktail of algorithms and society will play out within the Indian context must be of crucial fear for coverage makers. Remember that the innovative analysis in AI and ML is predominantly accomplished in america and a handful of alternative evolved international locations, while the affects of those applied sciences is international. Some institutes and think-tanks in India are beginning to concentrate on questions of the alternatives and dangers of AI and ML in India.
As an example "Wadhwani AI", "Middle for Web and Society" and IIT Delhi's new Faculty of Public Coverage are among the few which are venturing into development consciousness and analysis experience in social science sides of AI and ML. The Central Govt's making plans company, NITI Aayog has additionally dipped its ft into the AI and coverage waters ― in 2018 they revealed a dialogue paper on a "National Strategy for Artificial Intelligence".
A majority of these efforts are nonetheless slightly nascent regardless that, and there may be an pressing want for a public discussion on how lives of extraordinary electorate are going to inevitably alternate, for each just right and unhealthy, because of the AI revolution.

Gene-RADAR technology will help to diagnose illness and personalize wellness. 6
In the near term we would like to bring Gene-RADAR to help with some of the pandemics and global health infectious diseases. There is a global unmet need there. Over four billion people on the planet don't have access to basic diagnosis.
GET VIDEO UPDATES FROM LEADING DOCTORS on key health topics
Dr. Anton Titov, MD. What is your vision for Gene-RADAR technology in the near and maybe mid-term future? Dr. Anita Goel, MD. In the near term we would like to bring Gene-RADAR to help with some of the pandemics and global health infectious diseases. There is a global unmet need there. Over four billion people on the planet don't have access to basic diagnosis. There are a few diseases that are very prevalent. They have a compelling use case for a platform like this. So not only can we help large numbers of people. There's an unmet need and there's a need for something that's highly accurate and precise. Dr. Anita Goel, MD. But we do not need a 400-pound machine that requires running water, electricity, trained personnel, sample transport logistics. We are bringing to the world a mobile consumer electronic device. It can allow people to access information about themselves or about these diseases in real time. So it can be used for global health surveillance to track pandemics, to stop the spread of diseases. Sometimes there's an outbreak in West Africa to see how many cases and how it's spreading. Gene-RADAR enables public health officials to really keep a better monitoring. It allows to know how the spread of these diseases happens. It allows to take better countermeasures to stop the spread of these diseases. Dr. Anita Goel, MD. So that's our near-term goal. In the mid-term this could be used to really get into the area of precision medicine. You start to look at all of the other therapies for more complex diseases. You use an array of biomarkers. You can use real-time information about the DNA, about the gene expression patterns. A physician can now titrate the therapies and optimize the therapies and customize the disease therapies. Dr. Anton Titov, MD. Precise therapy is speaking to the needs of that patient. But then we can go much more broader than that. My deeper vision is you could do personalized nutrition, personalized wellness. You could start to really map out an array of biological information that now allows you to customize your entire life, your food, your nutrition, your exercise, your medications or supplements around this real-time information about yourself. So now you can optimize the "music" that comes out of your "DNA piano". Dr. Anita Goel, MD. That's the bigger dream. It helps the human race get to the next quantum level in terms of efficiency. We help not just in terms of health, but in terms of wellness and fitness. This is a very interesting vision. Because clearly it's a personalized symphony for every person. And the symphony that changes throughout time, depending on circumstances and personal biology. Exactly, and it's an interplay. I think that that consciousness needs to spread in our healthcare system. Dr. Anita Goel, MD. That isn't just the genes you're born with. It's not just a predestined kind of clockwork expression of those genes. It's an interplay of that information plus the information that's embedded in the environment. This environment is determining how the music gets played. Certainly if we have better tools to become aware of this interplay and of our genetic boundary conditions, we can optimize our trajectories.

Learn about the education and preparation needed to become an executive pastry chef. Get a quick view of the requirements as well as details about training and job duties to find out if this is the career for you.
If you're an expert pastry chef with years of experience and leadership skills to match, then you may want to consider becoming an executive pastry chef. These chefs are tasked with creating pastry dishes and overseeing dessert preparation.
Executive pastry chefs are responsible for a restaurant's baking and dessert operations. In addition to overseeing dessert preparation, executive pastry chefs may handle tasks such as supervising employees, ordering supplies, creating budgets and adhering to sanitation regulations. Most have formal culinary training through associate's or bachelor's degree programs in pastry arts. These programs offer instruction and hands-on practice in creating a variety of desserts and breads and also teach students how to manage a professional kitchen. Executive pastry chefs usually possess several years of experience in the industry.
Sources: * U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), **PayScale.com.
An executive pastry chef oversees the preparation of desserts and the baking of breads in a commercial kitchen. He or she develops dessert recipes and maintains an inventory of ingredients, while striving to achieve cost-efficiency for the restaurant. The executive pastry chef typically answers to the executive, or head, chef and supervises other pastry chefs.
Employers often seek executive pastry chefs with five or more years of experience in a pastry kitchen or related atmosphere, according to November 2011 job postings on Monster.com. Many executive pastry chef jobs require a bachelor's degree from a culinary school. A bachelor's program in pastry arts generally includes studies in baking and making desserts, as well as courses in management and psychology. Associate degree programs also are available. Certification from a national culinary organization could help in obtaining a position as an executive pastry chef.
Executive pastry chefs must possess the artistic ability to make their desserts appealing to the eye. An executive pastry chef who works in a hotel kitchen might need to know how to bake and decorate a wedding cake, according to November 2011 job postings on Monster.com and CareerBuilder.com.
An executive pastry chef also needs good communication skills since working with other chefs is a major function of the job. Additionally, he or she must possess sufficient math skills to work within a budget when ordering ingredients. Math is also vital when calculating recipe amounts and figuring portion size.
The median annual salary for executive pastry chefs was $51,124 in January 2016, according to PayScale.com. The BLS states that employment of all chefs and head cooks, including executive pastry chefs, is expected to increase by 9% during the 2014-2024 decade, which is slower than average for all occupations. Competition for jobs in fine dining establishments is expected to be particularly tough.
Executive pastry chefs need to have a great culinary eye for desserts; they're expected to craft delicious desserts that look divine for their clients. Furthermore, they need to be able to teach these methods to staff, making communication and management skills absolutely essential for an executive pastry chef.

Williams Uchemba Left Depressed During His Honeymoon In South Africa
Williams Uchemba
Newly wedded Nollywood actor, Williams Uchemba, who went to South Africa for his honeymoon has revealed how depressed he was due to the failed economy of Nigeria.
He was nearly drawn to tears, as he spoke about how travelling abroad opened his eyes to the level of suffering in the country.
Taking to Instagram, Williams Uchemba wrote that one may not understand how Nigerians are suffering until they travel to other advanced countries.
He said that even with the corruption in South Africa, their leaders are still steadily growing their industries and sectors.
He Wrote;
"I woke up really sad and depressed over the state of Nigeria and I'm almost tearing up typing this.
Now, I've lived in the western world in the past, both in the UK and US , and when I ask this question I justify my depression with well it's a white man's country that's why they are ahead but why I'm really angry in this case is that we are talking about the same continent.
Do you know that Nigeria has the largest Economy in Africa with the GDP of $398 Billion compared to SA which is the second largest with $368 billion? Yet Nigeria needs to apply for visa to travel to South Africa.
I am 3,500 feet above sea level and I'm looking at an African nation that built their country with their own natural resources, a country where you can't tell if you are still in Africa or Europe because of its immense development despite the corruption in the country. A country where their primary source of income comes from mining and industry. Tourism alone rakes in ZAR 130billion which is about $8.8billion for the country. In 2016 alone 16 million tourist visited SA and that number has steadily increased since then. 16 million guys and tourism only adds 2.8% to their GDP. Even with the corruption in the their country the leaders are still steadily growing their industries and sectors.
You might not understand how Nigerians are suffering until you travel to other advanced countries then come back home and see how Nigerians have been deprived of basic life amenities of life.
So I ask, apart from bad Leadership Structure and lack of Vision, what do you think is our problem as a nation? Do you think we got independence way too early? Do you think that the democratic system of government is working in Nigeria and for Nigerians? There is corruption in other countries, why is Nigeria's corruption so different and profound that even corrupt nations call us corrupt?? What do you think is the issue with Nigeria??"

T-Mobile Rolling Out LTE-U
Feb 22, 2017, 1:57 PM by Eric M. Zeman @zeman_e
T-Mobile today said it is beginning to upgrade its 4G network with LTE-U this spring. LTE-U allows LTE to operate on the unlicensed spectrum in the 5 GHz band, which is typically reserved for WiFi. Devices equipped with LTE-U will take advantage of available 5 GHz spectrum when needed to boost speed and capacity. If or when that 5 GHz spectrum experiences an uptick in WiFi use, the LTE-U devices will scale back their presence on the unlicensed spectrum and return to T-Mobile's cellular network for coverage. T-Mobile is relying on equipment from Ericsson and Nokia to make LTE-U a reality. At the same time, the FCC today approved the first devices to operate on LTE-U. The FCC's chief concern is that LTE-U doesn't interfere with the WiFi operation of 5 GHz equipment in the shared spectrum. The LTE-U Forum, WiFi Alliance, and myriad other technology players have helped shape LTE-U over the last few years. T-Mobile expects LTE-U to help it eventually deliver gigabit speeds over its wireless network. T-Mobile didn't say what mobile devices might have access to LTE-U once it goes live.

The American College of the Immaculate Conception, or the American College of Louvain is a former Roman Catholic seminary in Leuven, Belgium.  Founded in 1857, it was operated by United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) to prepare European priests for service in the United States and to provide a residence for Americans priests studying at the Catholic University of Louvain.

The American College closed in June 2011 due to low enrollment and a faculty shortage; its building was turned over to the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (KU Leuven) for student housing.

History

19th century
The American College was founded in 1857 by American bishops under the leadership of Bishop Martin J. Spalding of Archdiocese of Louisville and Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere of Archdiocese of Detroit. It was created to train young European men to serve as missionary priests in North America and to give American seminarians the opportunity to study at the Catholic University of Louvain.  The college's signature song was a Marian hymn, O Sodales, authored by Gustave Limpens in 1862.

The College grew rapidly in its early years, most notably under the rectorship of John De Neve, its second rector. Over 800 priests trained at the American College served in dioceses and vicariates during the second half of the 19th century across the United States. Some of the priests were eventually appointed as bishops of newly formed dioceses:

 Bishop Charles John Seghers, foundee of the Alaska mission
 Bishop Patrick Riordan of the Archdiocese of San Francisco
 Bishop Alphonse Glorieux of the Diocese of Boise
 Bishop John Baptist Brondel of the Diocese of Helena

20th century
The college continued to train young men for service to the Church in the United States into the twentieth century under the rectorship of Jules De Becker. it remained open during German occupation in First World War.  The college staff hid many documents and other valuable items of Leuven, including the statue of the Sedes Sapientiae, The staff converted the college into an emergency hospital and dispensary of food and clothing.  At its peak, the college was assisting 1,500 Leuven residents per day.

With the declaration of war in 1939, the college closed. It reopened in 1952 under the rectorship of Father Thomas Maloney.  The college expanded to accommodate the increased number of American priests and brothers wanting to study at the Catholic University.  It also began offering sabbatical opportunities for priests, religious, and lay ecclesial ministers from all nations.

In 1998, a major ethnic dispute known as the Leuven crisis erupted in Belgium between the Flemish-speaking population and the Walloons (French speakers).  To resolve the dispute, the Catholic University of Louvain was split into KU Leuven in Leuven and the Université catholique de Louvain (UCLouvain) in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium.  The American College, remaining in Leuven, maintained ties with both new institutions.

Sponsorship and governorship
The American College was sponsored and overseen by American Catholic bishops through the USCCB.  The other American-sponsored college in Europe was the Pontifical North American College in Rome.

 The college was overseen by the Committee for the American College, its board of directors. Fourteen American bishops sat on the committee; the last committee chair was Bishop David Ricken of the Diocese of Green Bay. The college also had an advisory board of lay persons and clergy.

At the close of the 2010–2011 academic year, there were nineteen seminarians in formation with the college. Their sponsoring dioceses were: Boise, Cheyenne, Congregation of Holy Cross, Green Bay, Lublin, Madison, Milwaukee, Orange, Portland (Oregon), Rochester, Salford, and Spokane.

Mission
The primary mission of the American College was the formation of priests who would serve the Catholic Church in North America. In addition to the classes offered by KU Leuven the College provided a comprehensive program of human, spiritual, intellectual, and pastoral formation for seminarians.

The college also hosted graduate students studying canon law and theology in Leuven. The college ran a semester-long sabbatical program for priests, religious, or laity sent by their dioceses or religious congregations. Both the graduate students and sabbaticals took classes through KU Leuven while living at and participating in activities at the college.

Closure
On November 22, 2010, the USCCB released a statement:"Due to the small number of seminarians and available priest faculty, the American College of the Immaculate Conception in Leuven, Belgium, has announced its closure in June 2011." On August 19, 2011, the USCCB, the American College board, KU Leuven and UCLouvain signed an agreement on the future use of the  American College property. The facility was renovated in 2013 to serve as housing for Mater Dei and the St. Damien Community students, and for American researchers studying philosophy, theology and canon law at KU Leuven and UCLouvain.

Surprise! Donald Trump Had a Relationship With Russia After All.
Needless to say, this is why so many people were suspicious of Trump's weasely statements about Russia during the campaign. Does a letter of intent count as a "relationship" with Russia? Or does it only become a relationship if you actually end up signing a deal to do something?
Most of us would say that an LOI does indeed imply a relationship, but to Trump this is all meaningless. It's not a matter of whether his words are truthful, but whether his words work. Since he won the election, that means his words were the right ones to use. Only losers worry about anything else.


Therefore, reducing sulfur pollution is an important issue of environmental protection. In order to meet the needs of the power industry desulfurization and dust removal, the company newly developed the equipment for production of desulfurization limestone powder.
Desulfurization tests show greater performance in terms of gypsum production. • SO 2 removal efficiency compared to the limestone treated with a traditional mill. • Multi-criteria approach highlights the economic and environmental feasibility.
In wet flue gas desulfurization systems, limestone (calcium carbonate) is ground to a powder in a wet ball mill. Krebs cyclones are used to classify the ball mill discharge, returning coarse particles to the ball mill for further grinding.
To ensure desulfurization effect, the quality of limestone (particle size and output) and grinding mill's performance must be guaranteed. More and more companies choose effective、high output and low energy consumption vertical grinding mill to produce the limestone for desulfurization, so the vertical grinding mill is the best choice. 2.

While most of Wallace Butts' descendants are Georgia Bulldogs, there is one whose dedication belongs to the other Bulldogs in the SEC
Loran Smith
Sports UGA Football No Comments
It has been six decades since Wallace Butts was the head football coach of the Georgia Bulldogs, but his legend (and spirit) still hover over Sanford Stadium where his teams were often dominant on fall Saturdays, especially in the 40s.
Before Butts fielded his first bowl team, the little community of Athens had its heart set on an invitation to a post-season game. Naturally, the big objective was the Rose Bowl. Suddenly there were invites from the Orange, Rose, Oil, Sugar, Gator, Orange again, Gator and Presidential Cup—all in the span of a dozen years. Butts became known as the Bowlmaster.
Of all the passionate alumni I have met over the years, the descendants of James Wallace Butts are among the most intense. Coach Butts' grandchildren and great grandchildren are as impassioned about Georgia football as any family in the state. Most of them are UGA matriculates.
There is, however, an exception.
Coach Butts' middle daughter, Jean, a former Georgia cheerleader, married a football coach—Frank Jones, former head coach at Presbyterian who later became the head coach at Richmond. In between those two gigs, son-in-law Frank moved around in coaching circles as an assistant coach and looked for real estate deals at every campus, where he became anchored. When he was an assistant at Mississippi State, Frank found affordable acreage five miles out of town and purchased it. His friends thought he was nuts.
Today, that land is prime real estate, the hottest property in Starkville. Jones's son has developed the property, which includes the Veranda Restaurant, the highest regarded place to dine in Oktibbeha County—like the Five and Ten in Athens and City Grocery in Oxford.
While Frank Jones Jr. has always enjoyed his family heritage, he is actually a graduate of the University of Richmond, where his father was also athletic director.
He and his side of the family are as passionately committed to Bully, the State mascot, as Coach Butts descendants in the state of Georgia are committed to Uga. Young Frank was on the sideline when the Bulldogs had to strain to defeat the Spiders 28-24 Between the Hedges in 1975.
That was when the late Sam Mitchell talked Vince Dooley into focusing on preparation for Florida's powerful wishbone attack, which they called the "Broken Bone." It was almost costly, Georgia coming up with a late fumble to end Richmond's last threat to pull off one of the biggest upsets in the country.
If you remember the rest of the story, the Bulldogs were blatant underdogs versus the Gators in the old Gator Bowl the next weekend. You have to think that Florida was smirking at Georgia … almost losing to Richmond at home.
While we are not sure about that, we know that Erk Russell's defense bent all afternoon versus Florida, but did not break. If you keep a game close, anything can happen. Florida led 7-3 deep into the afternoon, and it appeared that the Bulldogs were never going to score.
Then Bill Pace, the Georgia offensive coordinator, who always felt that you should go into games with a special play—something that would catch the opponents off guard—came with the end around pass from Richard Appleby to Gene Washington, bringing about a memorable victory, 10-7.
Back to our story on the Butts descendants in Starkville. When Frank Jones got out of coaching at Richmond, he had developed a viable real estate company on the side. His son, Frank Jr., took over the company when timing was certainly propitious. He moved back to Starkville and became an owner/developer the aforementioned land, making the Veranda Restaurant the centerpiece.
Starkville has become a thriving community and has taken on a new look in the last quarter century. The vision of Coach Wallace Butts' son-in-law and that of his grandson are very much a part of the town's new look.

The Sebring was the 2-door coupe version of the later Satellite line, and was on a shorter wheelbase at 115 inches, vs 117 on the Satellite sedan. It had just received updated front sheetmetal for 1973. Sebring and Sebring Plus were the two main trim levels. Standard engine in the Sebring base model was the 225 CID 1bbl S6 . Standard in the Plus model was the 318 CID 2bbl V8, which was optional on the base model. A 400 CID 2bbl V8 and a 400 CID 4bbl V8 were available in both versions as well. Transmission choices were limited to a 4-speed manual and a 3-speed automatic.
In 1974 a Sundance package was available which was mainly for appearance. It included graphics and special interior panels. As for engines, a 360 CID 4bbl V8 replaced the optional 400 2bbl V8 this year. It was also the final year for both the Satellite and Satellite Sebring.


Julian Schnabel's film, starring Willem Dafoe, was premiered on Monday.
At Eternity's Gate, a film about Vincent Van Gogh, claims that the renowned artist did not commit suicide as is widely believed but was murdered, AFP reported. Julian Schnabel's film, starring Willem Dafoe as the Dutch painter, was premiered at the Venice Film Festival on Monday.
The movie, which traces Van Gogh's last years in France in the 1880s, shows the artist being shot at by young men after a scuffle at a local inn near the village of Auvers-sur-Oise. Van Gogh died 36 hours later, the film claims.
The possibility that Van Gogh did not commit suicide was first put forth in a 2011 biography by Steven Naifeh and Gregory White Smith. Van Gogh: The Life argued that the artist had been shot at by two brothers, possibly by accident. The 2017 animated film Loving Vincent also examined this theory.
French screenwriter Jean-Claude Carriere, who co-wrote At Eternity's Gate with Schnabel, said that there is no proof of Van Gogh having killed himself. "He came back to the auberge with a bullet in his stomach and nobody ever found the gun or his painting materials," Carriere told AFP.
He said the film counters the "dark romantic legend" of Van Gogh, considered to be a troubled genius, and argued that the fact that he was creating new work every day in the last phase of his life indicated that he was unlikely to be suicidal.
Schnabel told AFP that the film is not meant to be a factual account of Van Gogh's life, because "all history is a lie".

Urban Meyer announced on Tuesday that he will step down as the head coach of Ohio State following the Rose Bowl, and there has been a lot of talk about the recent hit his reputation has taken playing a role in his decision. As they have done many times in the past, Meyer's daughters defended him against that narrative.
Nicki Meyer, Urban's oldest of three children, retweeted Gigi's message in addition to some stories former players shared about the way Urban impacted their lives.
Nicki also said she can't wait to have Urban back home with his family full time.
Meyer's family passionately defended him when there was talk of the coach exaggerating his health issues as an excuse to leave Florida back in 2010, and they came to his defense again when he was accused of helping to cover up domestic violence allegations against a former member of his staff. The family has always been very close-knit.

TikTok Is Helping Launch a Songwriter Academy for Diverse Students
In the wake of conversations around race and equality in the music industry, TikTok and nonprofit youth program After-School All-Stars are partnering with music publisher Sony/ATV and Syracuse University's Bandier Program in Recording and Entertainment Industries to create a "songwriter academy" this summer for underrepresented communities.
The students selected for the Academy — 13 individuals of color from across the country ranging from seventh graders to high school seniors — will take courses remotely, focusing on creative, technical and business topics within songwriting. Some of the topics cover the anatomy of a song, copyright and music publishing, and music production and marketing plans. Students will also have various songwriting exercises. The class will conclude with students presenting their songs to a panel of music industry professionals, and students will also be paired with After-School All-Stars staff mentors to help them with coursework.
TikTok's senior manager of music content and label partnerships Danny Gillick came up with the concept after the tech company worked with After-School All-Stars on COVID emergency food programs. Development for idea started in April, and it took on more meaning after Floyd's death.
"We set out to build a program to give students from under-represented communities the opportunity to be heard and to connect with likeminded individuals in the creative community," Gillick said in a statement.
The four-week course has some star power too: TikTok and Sony recruited cross-genre artists, songwriters and producers to participate in the program. Among those are four-time Grammy winner Timbaland, Jozzy (who co-write Lil Nas X's record-breaking "Old Town Road") and multi-platinum producer DJ Dahi, whose production credits include Big Sean's "I Don't Fuck with You" and Mac Miller's "Self Care." Artists include Jack Harlow, Tiagz, JetsonMade, Ilsey Juber, Tainy, Anitta, Melanie Martinez, and Mikey Keenan.
TikTok will also host livestreams each week featuring the aforementioned artists and producers, who will take viewers through the process behind making their songs. Timbaland and Jozzy will go on TikTok first in a discussion moderated by Bandier Program director Bill Werde, and those discussions will springboard the students' classes for the week.
Syracuse's Bandier Program, one of the most well-known college music business programs in the country, developed the curriculum for the Academy, with Sony/ATV and California music teacher Schyler O'Neil contributing to the curriculum as well. O'neil and Werde will act as faculty.
"Music has a rich history in speaking out against injustice and speaking up for the rights and freedoms of all people," said After-School All-Stars executive vice president of programs Carlos Santini in a statement. "Our after-school programs sit in the very cities that have experienced the inequities brought by COVID-19 and the ongoing racism that has yet again been exposed through police brutality and the death of George Floyd and many others in the Black community. Our collective voice will be heard in a bigger way because of this amazing collaboration."
Racial inequality is a long-standing problem in the music industry — and since the beginning of June, after music executives Jamila Thomas and Brianna Agyemang started #TheShowMustBePaused and subsequently kickstarted Blackout Tuesday, it's been at the forefront of discussion for most of the industry's largest and most powerful companies.
Several music and technology companies, including TikTok, have announced donations to causes focused on equality for the black community, and Republic Records was the first major label to announce it would stop using the word "urban" to refer to its music. The Recording Academy later announced it would rename the Grammy award for "best urban contemporary album" to "best progressive R&B album." Most major music companies, however, haven't yet announced major internal changes. Several black executives who've spoken out since Blackout Tuesday suggested ideas for how the industry can progress, pointing toward better mentorship and pipelines for black artists and industry workers.
"The lack of diversity at the top executive levels and board rooms is the biggest challenge," iHeartMedia EVP of programming Thea Mitchem previously told Rolling Stone. "And it's one that can only be solved with a robust strategic plan of action that has to start with how we train, mentor and empower young black executives. You must fill the funnel."

How much is Andre 3000 worth?
This definitely talented man may boast with $45 million material situation, gained from fulfilling his talent in the variety of art industries. But he does not stop on achieved: recently Andre opened the own dressing line, called Benjamin Bixby.
But how did it all start and what were the initial steps in achieving the goal?
Born in 1975, he was raised by mother after the parents broke up. From the very beginning he was surrounded by love and kind atmosphere the mom made, so this woman presented to be the main source of support and inspiration. Beside the fact music was his hobby from little age, Andre got a good proper education.
The schools he attended are Northside High School and Tri-Cities one, where was given a theoretical experience for future life. Hard work in music field began from duo OutKast.
Since that time Andre 3000 is active in the entertainment industry.
Music: in OutKast the next albums were released: "Idlewild" – $1,000,000, "Stankonia" – $5,000,000, "Aquemini" – $2,000,000 and so on.
Movies: "Revolver" (2005), "Semi-Pro" (2008), "Four Brothers" (2005), "Be Cool"(2005), "Jimi: All Is by My Side" (2013) and many others.
Animation: pretended to be an author for cartoon "Class of 3000".
What property Andre 3000 owns?
House: we assume that after his mother death in 2013 he inherited her Stone Mountain home, Georgia, Atlanta.
Cars: he is an owner of Cadillac Escalade. In 2009 he was arrested for speeding in his 2007 Porsche Carrera. Maybe he still has it.


I inwardly groan when I'm asked this question. Who knew it could be so complicated? Generally speaking, it's any easy question for most people. Where you were born, right?
I look English, I speak English, I even dress English and yes my family is English too. But I didn't live in an English house until I was in my teens. Weird right? So it's already a little more complicated than your average Englishman (or woman).
I may be from England, the midlands to be precise, but that doesn't mean I grew up there. In fact my hometown was as alien to me as ET and just to complicate matters further, I never truly lived there, as the moment I set foot on English soil, I embarked on the boarding school journey. But that's another story for a different time.
Language is not a barrier but something to embrace. I spent my childhood in Germany and from the age of maybe six, I was able to ask for the bill in the restaurant, count to ten and name the colours. It wasn't a challenge or a school class, it was part of everyday life. If I wanted something, I would have to learn how to get it.
Cleanliness is next to godliness. And I don't mean you need to shower every day but it was a case of never seeing rubbish lying around or fag butts in the gutter. And yeah sure, my mum told me not to do it, but everywhere was so clean. I lived amongst a sense of pride and achievement which is the German way.
Exploring is only natural. My daily antics involved hopping on my bike and exploring the local area. Some days involved going by foot into the woods. There was always something new to see, to find, to discover. My curiosity and sense of adventure were never curbed and were always allowed to roam wild.
An innocent childhood is possible. In the isolated community we were in, it was like we'd been outdated by ten or twenty years. Mobiles didn't exist, playstations came along very late and Gameboys were few and far between. Watching TV was not a done thing and we were not interested in staying indoors. Come rain or shine we were out and about.
No car journey is too far. Rather than be faced with an island country, we had the opportunity to drive over the border. No journey was too far, whether it was a week in Denmark or a weekend in the mountains. Just hop in the car and off we go!
There is a true sense of community out there somewhere. A lot of people talk about community and they think they have one. But I know the true value of community. It's when the kids go and play in the streets but it's okay cause you know the neighbours will keep an eye on them. It's when the front door doesn't need to be locked and the fence around the garden is only 3 feet instead of 6. It's when spontaneous street parties actually happen and don't need planning. When you know your neighbours and the rest of the people on the street. It's more than just a friendly nod because you recognise someone, may have chatted once or twice but have no idea whether they have milk or sugar in their coffee.
Culture is no stranger. Like any other British child, the culture in my house was exactly the same. We celebrated Christmas on the same day each year, we enjoyed a bacon sandwich every now and again and loved those very Hollywood films that came out in cinema, albeit a few weeks later than the rest of the UK. But the beauty of this was that every time we stepped outside the house, we were in fact giving ourselves over to a different culture. Discovering that the Halloween and carnival season were huge celebrations. Christmas markets were an inherent and traditional event that occurred in almost every town every year.
It's impossible to tell whether something is benefiting you at the time but hindsight can be very powerful. It seems that I was able to benefit from the best of both worlds and grew up with a deep appreciation for the German culture. It's more than just somewhere I lived but a little bit of where I came from, and it turns out that I did learn a lot.
Did you grow up abroad? What was life like for you and what did you learn? Why don't you join the conversation and comment below!


Recently we had these beautiful old French lights in our workshop for restoration. I was so drawn to them, I fell in love with the simplicity of the flowers that had been hand carved into the most wonderful little shapes and sitting on beautiful long wispy brass leaves. Andrew had to carve quite a few new flower heads to replace some of the missing flowers. I was secretly hoping that our client might have forgotten about them and left them with us forever.
Flowers on my mind - This morning whilst I was meditating, and for those that meditate often, you will know what I mean when you send roots into Mother Earth to ground yourself, well, I was sending the roots down into the earth and visualizing how they were spreading out through my garden and beyond and then suddenly, into my mind (my funny little mind) the roots came back up and flowers were popping up through the ground everywhere just like these.
but it was very pretty and I think I will need to paint it one day.
Coty, everything you do is just amazing! Your creativity astounds me as well as your gorgeous photography. Please come and link up to centerpiece Wednesday today on my blog. Link up as many times as you want..you have so many posts that would work perfectly for it. Truly I am in awe of all you do.
Oh my gosh Coty! These would have woken me from deep meditation too! I would have offered big bucks for those babies....the whimsical shape and patina are just wonderful. Imagine how beautiful when lighting up a wall.
Thank you for sharing all the beautifulness that you create and that comes through your workshop.
You sound busy, content & happy. All good effects of meditation & a magical mind.
