I started this Daily Drill Thread the year after I coached in Salzburg, Austria with the Red Bull organization. It was a unique coaching experience because the owner of Red Bull mandated there had to be coaches from every major hockey nation. They recruited me from coaching the Women's Team at Mount Royal College and I went as a skills coach, assistant for the U20 and pro teams and head coach of the U17. We all worked together. M-W the pro's did skills in the morning and T-Th the U17 team did skills. They all had regular off-ice training which included the skating treadmill once a week and 4 on ice practices and usually two games. It averaged 45 trainings per month. There were two Swedish, one Finnish, Czech, Slovakian, Russian, Austrian, American and the Pierre Page was the head coach and he had a Canadian goalie coach. So I got to see how high level coaches from all over the hockey world ran practices. The official language was english and all but the Czech and Russian coach spoke it well. I have attached a picture of the Red Bull Staff 08-09 season.
This wasn't a problem as I have coached many international groups including eight summers with Korean teams from youth to college to pro. No one spoke very good english in these groups. In Guadalara, Mexico I did a week long camp and the kid's only spoke Spanish. In the hockey camp in Vierumaki, Finland I did for three summers the asst. coaches spoke english (they played NHL) and in Hamar, Norway the other coaches spoke it. Most of the players in Austria understood english to varying degrees.
I should give a little of my background so you can judge whether the Daily Drill material will be worthwhile.
I grew up in Calgary and played Jr. A and then went to Bemidji, Minn. where I played on the varsity team and graduated with a PE degree. I played one year after that in a semi-pro league in Sioux City, Iowa. I came back home, got married and started teaching. I now have a total of three Education degrees. I coached hockey at the school and minor hockey and attended every international coaching cymposium I could and then was called to be an men's asst. college coach. I did this one season and then was head coach for the next three. I got gassed and then was assistant at the U of Calgary for 8 years and in that time coached with 5 coaches who moved onto the NHL; one now is head of Czech Hockey. At the same time I also coached my son's teams during the late 90's and early 2000's. From 2003-2008 I was head coach of the women's team at the college level until I resigned after being offered the position with the Red Bulls. I was only home one week in 7 months and my wife was by herself. It wasn't working very well so I resigned and returned to Calgary. I was asked to coach in the women's pro league WWHL and did that for two seasons until the team ond league folded. I was then asked to coach the U18 female team and I am doing that as of March 30, 2012 and have agreed to coach the next season.
This site has ideas from most hockey countries and most drills and games have video examples with many international groups. All the drills and games have diagrams and pdf's with the description, diagram and video link if there is one.
Along the way I met Juhani Wahlsten of Finland and we work together and have written a coaching manual which is the official program of Austria (we trained the coaches in Vienna) and a required part of the Finnish coaching program. This site is intended to continually update the material.
This is a drill that Vladimir Jursinov used last year in our skills sessions to create flow. He came one week per month to work with the players. I have posted a video of one of his puck handling practices.
1. Pass to the far blue line.
2. Players leave from the far blue line.
3. Skate and protect the puck.
4. Pass 2-5 times in the nzone.
5. Attack in a triangle and a one times shot. Look for the rebound.
6.F3 skate over the blue line to start another rep.
7.Pass from far blue and repeat.
8. Do from both ends.
One touch. Make sure the top hand follows the pass and isn't locked against the body. Reijo Routsalainen demonsrtates the proper passing technique.
-Rotate the middle player every 10".
D joins the play and F backchecks on the whistle to practice offensive and defensive support.
There is a 1-1 at one end and on the whistle there is another 1-1 at the far end. The D jumps up to support the attacker and the F must backcheck. It becomes a 2-2.
Progress to a 2-1 which becomes a 3-3, a 3-1 or 2-2 which become 4-4 and a 3-2 which becomes a 5-5.
This is a great situational drill.
This is a contest of forwards vs defense and goalie. The aim of the forwards is to score 15 goals as quickly as possible while the defenders try to make it take as long as they can. Time how long it takes and use this as the mark to beat the next time you play the game.
1. C3 Formation with forwards on one side and D on the other. Have the dark D play vs the light F's.
2. 2 F's attack 2-0 with a max of one pass allowed. You can score on direct reboungs.
3. Coach passes a new puck and they attack 2-1vs a D who has followed the initial 2-0.
4. After the 2-1 a new forward joins the original 2 F's and 2 new D skate to the blueline.
5. After the 2-1 attackthe other coach passes a new puck to the 3 F's who attack 3-2 vs the 2 new D.
6. When the 3-2 is finished the coach passes a puck to F3 in the high slot who shoots while the other forwards screen and tip and the D seal their sticks to the outside.
7. The coach now passes a new puck to F3 who goes the other way on a breakaway.
Players really like this game and you create a lot of situations.
The coaches can or other players can stand in the places of the breakout team while the coach says where to move the puck. If the coach is alone he can simply point to the area the puck is going. This instruction is to let the players understand the read and react of an aggressive 3 man forcheck.
Players line up in 3 lines behind the red line.
#1 - on the puck inside to out.
#2 - 2 read help #1 if loose puck is created and check D2 on D to D pass.
#3 - mirror the puck from the mid slot. Check wing on pass to the boards and mirror D to D from the mid slot. Don't forecheck but mirror the puck from the mid slot until you become #1 or #2.
Work on give and go and getting open.
Defenders intercept passes and tie up sticks on the rebounds.
Play for twenty to thirty seconds and the offense must pass to a joker and get a return pass before scoring.
Pass a hard saucer across the ice. Forward time skating so the pass comes when he is going full speed. Forwards and defense are behind diagonal blue lines on each side.
1. Forwards on each side skate and pass to the D in front of them.
2. D's pivot and pass to the forwards on the far side.
4. F get a new puck from the corner and pass to the D then screen the goalie.
5. D skate between the dots and shoot.
One touch. Make sure the top hand follows the pass and isn't locked against the body. Demonstrated by Reijo Routsalainen.
Defense must skate quickly from the boards to between the dots when they get the puck. Forwards should bounce the puck off the boards when passing to the D in this drill. Alternate sides.
Forwards in the corners and defense on the point. You could have everyone practice all positions so that forwards can play the point on pplays and be comfortable while covering the point.
1. Pass from the corner to the point then screen for the shooter who skates to the inside and shoots. Low shots are easier to tip and produce more rebounds.
2. Low players rotate from being the screener to moving across to the wide dot for a shot pass and staying at that dot for a one timer when the puck goes to the original point. All 3 forwards collapse and look for a rebound after the shot.
Defensive player first force the play wide and approach the puck carrier from a little behind in a line with the back of the inside shoulder. Create the checking angle and then finish the check with this angle preventing the puck carrier from cutting in or back.
*No Penalties and insist on Good Checking Angles.
1. Players line up along the boards in the neutral zone.
2. Coach shoot a puck toward one side near the boards and the players race for it and try to score.
3. The checking player tries to regain the puck and score on the other net. After one scoring chance return to the line up.
4. When the puck is near one goal shoot another puck for the next two players.
Start by exchanging the puck and always face the puck when pivoting for the return.
1. Players face each other and regroup in the neutral zone 1-0 then 2-0 and then attack. Start with exchanging the puck and then the breakout pass.
2. On the 2-0 practice chipping by the D to enter the zone or simply enter 2-0 with crosses.
3. You can add defense by having the shooter go out and defend the next attack. 4. When just shooting follow the rebound then circle back for the rebound from the next shooter.
Play tight gaps and talk on defense.
1. F1 attack 1-1 vs D1.
2. After a scoring chance and rebound pass to the corner for F2 to join the attack 2 on 1.
3. On whistle pass to F3 who joins F1 and F2 while D2 helps D1.
If puck is too far away or in the goal use a new puck.
It is a combined man to man and zone defense. Tight man to man on the player with the puck and any player in the slot. Zone defense with the head on a swivel, stick in the passing lane and a Man-You-Puck triangle to stay aware of your man. If someone loses a 1-1 then the support player plays a 2-1 defending the puck carrier and his man.
1. On the 3-3 the players line up at the top of the circle and shoot in any puck that is dumped out or if they can't the coach shoots in another puck for a 30 second shift.
Players must communicate all of the time.
2. On the 5-5 the players keep the puck in from outside of the blue line and coach add a new puck if it is fired down the ice. Play 30 second shifts and switch.
The players freeze where they are if the coach blows the whistle to give instruction.
Make wrist and snap passes.
4. Follow through at the target.
A. Two players exchange passes while two players pass and follow the pass.
B. Partner pass with 2 groups at once inside the circle.
C. Partner pass, One player skate laterally while the other is stationary. Rotate. Could be more than one stationary player.
D. Pass and follow the pass in a square.
Key Points:Use all of the edges with a good knee bend to change directions. Shoulders lead the turn.
The video with the same title is in the skating video section.
Skate forward to the middle then slide sideways and shoot. Look up to see the target, shot blockers and team mates in front.
On one timers follow through at the target. Increase the speed of the passes.
1. Player pick up a puck and skate between the dots. Pivot so you are facing the net and shoot.
2. Partner pass and shoot 5 one timers then switch.
3. Partners skate to the blueline and give and go finishing with a one timer, then pick up a new puck.
Other examples of how to practice one timer shots.
Make quick moves and shoot while skating. Sell a fake shot and shoot where the goalie CAME FROM not where he is GOING.
1. Gretzky turn. Force the D to back up then skate laterally back and across.
2. Skate and shoot at the boards while moving.
3. Skate around pylon get pass from 1 and shoot. Repeat with 2.
4. Go around pylons 1-2-3-4 and each time get a diagonal pass and shoot.
5. No shooting angle shoot 5 hole and follow or far post low for a rebound.
Players use the moves in a game situation that they just practiced in drills. Encourage the players to be creative and remember that the key to stickhandling is to protect use the body to protect the puck. Sell the fakes to make the defender straighten his/her knees or turn or lunge for the puck and use this instant to go around them and then block their recovery with your body.
1. Use regulation and small nets as well as small tires. In this situation have 4 cross ice games at once, one at each end and two in the neutral zone. This varies with the amount of players.
2. Play 30-40" and then switch on the whistle.
3. Variations are possible. Play round robin or king's court tournaments.
5. Jokers at the offensive goal line and require a give and go pass before scoring.
I took my college women's team to Scandanavia a few years ago. We played in Finland and on New Years sailed across the Baltic from Helsinki to Stockholm. That was quite a trip with 1500 Russian tourists on the ship but a story for another place.
Anders Ottossom is a development coach for the Swedish Ice Hockey Federation and he drove about 4 hours to meet us. While there he was asked to run a skills practice for a 13 year old boy's team. I filmed the practice and interviewed Anders after and he explains what he did and why.
The Swedes are known for their skill and this practice demonstrates how the combine games for skill with skill drills and transition games with situation drills to created realistice situations. Anders would have used a shootout if he had time, so I added it to the practice template.
TC Whiteboard has a practice template that I have posted here and in the files section. It can be used to make practice plans with the explanation and diagram pasted.
A coach could save the diagrams I post in this forum and cut and paste the explanations to the template. If you use the search function at the top of the page you can quickly find the drills and games. I will attach a Word and a pdf file of the practice plan.
There is a video of the entire practice which starts with Anders explaining the practice. It is in the video section Practices using the ABC method.
My college women are doing the warm up to music while the practice is going on. We played an exhibition game after the practice.
Skate all directions and pivots.
1. D get a puck from the red line, skate in and shoot, Backwards thru middle lane, get a puck from other side at the red line, skate in and shoot.
2. Lateral figure 8's, facing the coach and exchange passes.
3. Player behind net go from side to side and pass out or walk out for a shot. Goalie read movement.
Control the puck and "lock and load" when you carry the puck; meaning move it from in front to your side. Keep a strong skating position with the knees bent and head up.
Line up behind the top of the circle with 2 or 3 players facing 2 or 3 players at the other end. Have between 2 and 4 groups depending on the number of players. A group of 4 is the smallest.
1. First player in each line skate towards the other line and pass to the far line.
2. Exchange pucks and pass to opposite line.
3. Skate to red line tight left turn and pass to original line.
4. Repeat but make a tight right turn.
5. Carry toward other player and head and shoulder fakes with legs wide then pass.
6. Alternate knee touches and pass to far line.
7. Carry the puck and do a lateral push to face the other player and exchange pucks.
8. Exchange pucks twice then pass to the far end.
*Other passes like backhands, saucer or moves like in the feet, toe drag can be added.
There has been a fundamental change in coaching or teaching games. Instead of just doing drills and expecting the players to be able to use the skills and lessons practiced in the drills when they play an official game, both teachers and coaches have realized that they were missing a logical progression in the learning sequence.
Now successful practices put skills into game situations so the players are accustomed to performing the skills under pressure on offense or creating pressure on defense. The other logical progression is when a game situation like a 2 on 1 is practiced the coach first does a drill and then he puts the situation into a transition game that mimics the 2 on 1 in a realistic setting where now the attackers not only try to score on a rush but now they complete the play by going for the rebound and battling for a loose puck (instead of going back to the lineup to get out of the way for the next 2-1). The defender must also finish the play and make a pass to the supporting players. Only one puck is used and the action is continuous.
There are many transition games in the video section and in the postings I have made in this forum. I encourage coaches to start using the games and transition games to enhance the effectiveness and enjoyment of practices.
The pdf gives an introduction to transition games as well as some examples.
When the players have learned the basic skills by doing one way drills where offensive or defensive responsibility is repeated but there is no transition, then it is time to practice using the skills in more realistic situations that demand both good technique and game understanding.
In transition games the players work on all of the various game situations from the basic 1 on 1 skills to 5 on 6. Quick transition from offense to defense and from defense to offense is emphasized with the theme that; you must always attack so that you can defend and defend so that you can attack..
Transition games allow the coach to create any numerical situation that happens in a hockey game and the players practice the situation under game pressure in the same zone as it would occur in a game.
Levels 3 and 4 show transition games where players passively wait in the neutral zone and become active when the puck is passed over the blue line. These games can be used to create power play and penalty situations or to create various numerical situations at each end.
In level 5 and 6 transition games the players come into and leave the play according to the game situation so the coach doesn't have to be continually blowing his/her whistle, but is free to talk to the players as the game is going on.
Any of the game formations can be used for transition games. The D200 cross ice games and D600, D700, and D800 small area formations use the same rules as the D100 and D400 transition games that are described below. The link below has a video explanation of transition games.
3 Leave from diagonal corners about 2" apart, skate around circle then shoot, get a pass from the other corner, skate 3 zig zags betweeen the blue line and the top of the cricles the fill the 3 lanes and shoot.
1. Make sure to leave about 2 seconds between shooters so the goalie has time to get set.
2. Follow the shot for a rebound before getting the pass.
a, carry the puck with the hands and feet moving all the time.
b. carry the puck only using the forehand side of the stick.
c. only use the backhand side of the stick.
d. transition skate facing the far end forward to backward to forward.
Pass hard and face the puck giving a good target. D pivot when they get the regroup pass. This sequence can be done in all situation from a 1-1 to a 3-2. It is probably the most common pro drill I have seen around the world.
1. F1 and F2 leave from both sides and regroup with the far D.
2. D1 pivot and pass to the forward while skating.
3. F1 pass across to the other F2 in the Nzone.
4. F's regroup with the D2 at the other blue line.
5. D2 pivot and make a pass to F1.
6. F1 pass across to F2.
7. F's attack 2-1 vs. D1.
8. Players leave from the other blueline and start the sequence again regrouping with D2. D3 join the play at the far blue line.
This is a continuous 2-1 transition game using only one puck and no whistles. It practices situations in the nzone, teaches players who to cover in the dzone and how to support the attack.
Forwards enter the zone to support the defense and then attack and backcheck.
Defense support from the point, defend and then join the attack.
Coach can vary the number of F or D to create different situations in each zone.
1. Red F1 and F2 attack 2-1 vs blue D1.
2. Blue F1-F2 support D1, Red D1 support F1 and F2.
4. On Transition Blue F1-F2 attack Red D1.
5. Red F1-F2 Backcheck and Blue D1 join the rush.
6. Blue D2 and Red F3-F4 support when puck enters the zone.
7. Play 4 on 5 and continue flow.
It is easiest to start with a 1-1 and progress to other situations but I gave this example to show varying numbers as I posted the 1-1 before. The D like this because they get to join the play and it takes about the same time as a regular shift and they players learn to play in all 3 zones.
This video is from a college women's practice. The graphics say passive support but they are playing a continuous 1-1 with active support and the D joining the rush and F backchecking. The diagram is of a contiuous 2-1.
I have added a second diagram that shows a 1-1 with passive support. I like the active support better but both serve a purpose. In the passive support you basically have a 1-1 at one end to start and then 2-2 on the attack the other way and a 2-2 in the end and it continues like that. Very similar to the traditional drill where you have a 1-1 at one end and then start a new one at the other with a whistle and the original players leave the puck and the D joins the attack and F back check. It is a drill and not a transition game but isolates situations as well.
The defender needs to get within a sticklength of the attacker before the blueline. Attacker should try moves, dekes, fakes, change of pace, shooting beside the D's foot. Both F's and D's should take turns defending and attacking.
1. Attacker and defender both skate from the middle back to their blueline.
2. Attacker turns and goes 1-1 vs defender.
3. Done on both sides of the ice alternating direction.
4. Could do 2-1, 1-2, 2-2.
I just sent an email to my Pro Women's Team. We are working on team play and have done dzone, the forecheck, the power play and the next practice we will work on the pk with one short.
In the video section there are a lot of specialty team practice examples.
here is what I sent.
I have attached a pdf about penalty killing. Please read the principles. We will practice the skills or skating in straight lines and always putting the stick on the puck and having sticks in the passing lane. I saw a lot of umbrella and slot set pp against us last year. We want to challenge and fill behind all of the time never giving away a shot from the point or leaving someone alone in front.


Huronia west OPP have seized heroin laced with fentanyl from a home in Wasaga Beach on Thursday. Marijuana and other drugs items were also uncovered. Two Wasaga Beach residents are now facing drugs related charges.
Police say Fentanyl is roughly 100 times more potent than morphine and about 40 times more potent than heroin. A lethal dose of pure fentanyl is as little as two milligrams. That's equivalent to 32 grains of table salt or seven poppy seeds. Drug dealers add illegally obtained fentanyl to other drugs they sell — like cocaine and counterfeit oxycodone tablets — as a cutting agent to increase their profits. That activity is also increasing the number of overdoses and deaths. Over the last five years, more than 500 people died in Ontario after knowingly or unknowingly ingesting fentanyl.


Vivian Zhang founded a data science meetup group in New York City in 2014, where she taught New Yorkers how to analyze the plentiful data available through public records of calls to 311, the city's non-emergency helpline.
Her meetups, which started with just 20 people, got popular fast. Soon, droves of people wanted to learn the science of analyzing and harnessing the data's secrets. And not just individuals. Next, businesses were stepping forward unasked to sponsor her events and send their employees to learn skills they could use at work. One of her meetups attracted 5,000 attendees and 45 corporate sponsors.
There was huge demand, so she supplied.
"It was not planned at all. I can never imagine becoming a teacher," Zhang (fast-talking, brilliant, modest) told us last month. But in 2016, she launched the NYC Data Science Academy, which now employs 17 data scientists, engineers, and instructors and trains several hundred students per year. The academy offers a 12-week data science bootcamp, online courses, short courses, and corporate training.
In addition to a robust education program, the academy also serves as a consultancy to dozens of large corporate customers, helping them analyze and use their data to improve products and services and maximize profits. The academy works with charter schools, education departments, Barclay Bank, Aetna, and the pharmaceutical company Roche.
While many of the NYC Data Science Academy's students already hold graduate degrees, and are looking to switch careers, others are fresh from college at top-tier schools like Princeton and Stanford, with liberal arts backgrounds but strong enough math skills to handle the curriculum. Still others are sent by their employers to increase their technical skills so that they can better manage their tech teams, for instance.
When will half of all data scientists be women?
This semester, only seven of the academy's 37 full-time students are women, but the next cohort is 23% women. "It's up and down," Zhang explains. When asked about the paucity of women in her field, Zhang is unsurprisingly logical, pointing out how relatively few women major in data science and engineering.
She also points to social and cultural differences: "Data science requires a lot of presentation," She says. "You must be bold about your idea." She goes on to suggest that men are often comfortable being bold and confident even when presenting bad or iffy ideas, whereas women tend to present confidently only when they have a high degree of certainty that their idea is excellent.

Torticollis: A-to-Z Guide from Diagnosis to Treatment to Prevention
Torticollis is most common in large babies and following difficult first time deliveries. It is also more common in breech deliveries.
Introduction to torticollis:
"What is that lump in my baby's neck?" "Why does my baby only turn his head to one side?" Could it be torticollis?
The Latin word tortus means 'twisted.' Collum (collar) means 'neck.'Torticollis simply means twisted neck. It can have many different causes. By far the most common cause in young children is muscular torticollis. Here, the neck-strap muscle is injured, either before birth, during birth, or afterward. Bleeding into the muscle may cause a hematoma to form. The muscle may contract over time as the hematoma heals, pulling the head to one side.
The list of other possible causes is quite long, including GE reflux, arthritis, scoliosis, and congenital malformations.
Who gets it?
Muscular torticollis is most common in large babies and following difficult first time deliveries. It is also more common in breech deliveries and in conjunction with congenital hip dislocation. Children with first time torticollis later in childhood should be carefully evaluated. Most of these turn out to have torticollis from minor neck muscle trauma or from upper respiratory viruses. Nevertheless, some have it as a result of a serious problem such as a tumor.
The head is usually tipped to one side, with the chin pointing to the other. The neck may feel tight or stiff. A lump may be felt in the sternocleidomastoid muscle (the muscle that attaches to the breastbone, collarbone, and behind the ear).
Is torticollis contagious?
No. Although some underlying causes of it are contagious.
How long does torticollis last?
How long it lasts depends on the underlying cause. If it comes from a congenital malformation (fused vertebrae or absent muscle) then it will last until successfully treated. If it comes from a brief muscle spasm, it may occur only briefly.
How is torticollis diagnosed?
Initial diagnosis may be made on physical exam. Imaging studies and lab work may be necessary to determine the underlying cause.
How is torticollis treated?
Different types of torticollis require different types of treatment. For congenital muscular torticollis, gentle stretching exercises may be prescribed. There may also be specific instructions for positioning during sleep. If the condition has another cause, or if the exercises are not working, other treatment may be necessary – possibly including medicines or surgery. Note: Stretching may be harmful for some types.
How can it be prevented?
Usually, torticollis cannot be prevented.

Do you have trouble with patients being compliant with hygiene? Are you tired of seeing decalcification around your brackets during treatment? Are you tired of seeing discoloration of teeth as a result of poor hygiene during orthodontic treatment? Well Five Star has the solution for you!
DenteShield™ is an orthodontic bond and sealant that contains Seldox™ technology. DenteShield™ is a selenium based antimicrobial agent that is safe and has been FDA approved. Seldox™ is a selenium based antimicrobial agent, and has a patented formulation of organic compounds that are proven to inhibit bacterial growth. Selenium is safe and is a naturally occurring element that is non-toxic, and the amount within the product is minimal and won't hurt you.
Clinical tests show significant reduction or elimination of demineralization, which are commonly known as white spot lesions, around orthodontic brackets with teeth treated with Seldox™ technology. Seldox™ technology creates a blanket of protection on the teeth just like a sealant would. When bacteria attempts to colonize on the Seldox™ surface, bacterial growth and plaque are significantly reduced. Surfaces treated with Seldox™ remain cleaner due to less bacterial growth and plaque accumulation on the tooth.
DenteShield™ can replace your current orthodontic bond resin. You can use it as your bond and don't have to add any other bonding agent in addition to it. If you are happy with the bond resin that you're currently using, you can use this in addition to your resin already in use. Simply apply DenteShield™ first, cure it, and then apply your bond resin on top of that if you choose.
Five Star is proud to introduce its new line of Memory Gear upper expanders! These expanders do not require any patient compliance and they are self-activated to expand upon delivery. The Memory Gear expanders are designed with individual leaf springs in the middle of the gear. Each leaf spring equals 1 ½ mm of activation. The leaf springs are compressed when received back from the lab and will continue to expand 1 ½ mm per leaf. When you receive the appliance back from the lab, it will be held together with a metal prong tool. Deliver the appliance with the tool in place, and then remove the tool and the gear will be activated.
There are 2 styles of memory gear expanders we have to offer. The first is called the re-activation memory gear. This will expand on initial delivery in the mouth, and then can be re-activated for any additional expansion. There are 2 sizes, one will expand 3 mm upon initial delivery, and the other will expand 4 ½ mm upon initial delivery. It then can be re-activated to expand an additional 3-4 mm. When it is first delivered in the mouth the expander will be active for approximately 2 months. After 2 months has passed, you can re-activate the gear for additional expansion by turning the gear like you would a normal RPE. Each turn on a memory gear expander is .1 mm, which means for every 10 activations you will load the appliance 1mm.
The 2nd style of memory gear expander is fully self-activating. It will look the same when it comes back from the lab held together with a metal prong. Then simply remove the tool and the appliance will be activated. There are also 2 sizes of the self-activating memory gear. One is 6mm and the other is 9mm. You will get full expansion of each gear upon activation. If you do not require that amount of expansion, you can deactivate the gear by placing flowable composite over the springs.

Five Star is proud to introduce our lowest profile self-ligating bracket system, the Nova Brackets! The ultra smooth surface and rounded corners provides exceptional patient comfort! The door is designed with a 90-degree clip slot that provides a secure locking mechanism, and is simple to open. Simply place the Nova self-ligating tool into the slot and twist to open. The bracket can then be closed with the tool or your finger.
Nova Brackets come with ball hooks in the cuspids and bicuspids, and also have an available hook slot in each bracket. This is great for sliding mechanics with self-ligating brackets, and it's also good if you have to place anterior box elastics. Therefore rather than placing a koby hook, you can just place a ball hook into whichever bracket you need. Each bracket is also color ID'd on the distal gingival wing, and is provided with a laser-marked base that tells you which bracket is for which tooth.

Triad Gel is a great alternative to bracket adhesive for occlusal buildups/incisor blocks. The pink color of the resin makes the bite turbo easy to see during placement/removal and its transparency shows the occlusal surface through the turbo. Triad Gel typically costs much less than bracket adhesive. Its best to keep this product in the refrigerator until right before use to keep a thick viscosity for easy molding and longer working time.
The easiest way to add occlusal blocks with this product is to wipe tooth with cotton roll or a 2×2, air dry tooth thoroughly, apply Transbond plus self-etching primer (Lollipop), gentle air burst 1-2 seconds, apply Triad gel to occlusal surface of tooth & use the micro-brush from the Lollipop to form the occlusal block, then light cure. It may be necessary to air cool the Triad Gel because it warms up during the curing process. You can always adjust occlusal blocks with a hand piece for patient comfort. If you need to add to the occlusal block simply air dry, apply Lollipop, add Triad, shape, and light cure.

Q: How does MongoDB cursor behave when the collection is being changed? Suppose I'm using the cursor to iterate a subset of the documents, ordered by some field let's say.
What happens if while iterating, a new document is being inserted or a current one is being deleted?
Would that affect the cursor or does it MongoDB make some sort of snapshot of the data?

A: When you are in a transaction with read concern snapshot, you are reading from a consistent snapshot of the data.

Mubarak manages to make matters much worse
MUBARAK MANAGES TO MAKE MATTERS MUCH WORSE…. The streets of Cairo were packed with throngs of protestors who'd been told they were about to get their wish — Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak would step down. All available evidence suggested he was on his way out, making today the day everything changed in Egypt.
Mubarak, however, had other ideas.
President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt told the Egyptian people Thursday that he would delegate more authority to his vice president, Omar Suleiman, but that he would not resign his post, contradicting earlier reports that he would step aside and surprising hundreds of thousands of demonstrators gathered to hail his departure from the political scene.
In a nationally televised address following a tumultuous day of political rumors and conflicting reports, Mr. Mubarak said he would "admit mistakes" and honor the sacrifices of young people killed in the three-week uprising, but that he would continue to "shoulder my responsibilities" until September, and did not give a firm indication that he intended to depart the political scene.
The autocratic leader suggested he would "delegate" some of his powers, but not "transfer" them. He also referenced some possible constitutional amendments, as if that's what's led to 17 days of intense protests.
Indeed, it wasn't clear exactly why Mubarak made the speech in the first place — as he sees it, practically nothing has changed, which is the way it should be. He expressed sympathies for the protestors, and inexplicably argued that he'd work on meeting their demands by staying in power for several more months.
The assembled crowd, not surprisingly, erupted in outrage, and it seems likely Mubarak's remarks will only generate larger, angrier protests tonight and tomorrow.
Mubarak might as well have lit a torch next to a powder keg. One gets the sense the oblivious man doesn't know, care, or understand why the demonstrations have occurred in the first place.

Review: The Temple Architecture of India
The Temple Architecture of India Adam Hardy Wiley, £45.00 Unlike Mughal art and architecture, Hindu sculpture and architecture were poorly received by scholars in colonial times, with notable exceptions such as E.

Below are presentations, comments and draft versions of the General Order that occured during the development of the current General Order that was passed March 12, 2013.
Farm Evaluation Plan Template, Nitrogen Budget Template = These templates are being considered by the Regional Water Quality Control board as forms that need to be filled out by grower and turned into the Coalition each year. You can make comments to the Reigonal Wate Quality Control board on these template. Visit Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board website by clicking here.
San Joaquin County & Delta Water Quality Coalition (Coalition) commented on the proposed order which covers Stanislaus County, and parts of Merced and Madera realizing that this order will be used as the template for SJC & DWQC's upcoming order. The Coalition along with Coalitions throughout the central valley made comments and worked with Regional Board staff to try and bring some common sense to the proposed WDR. Some concessions were made by the Regional Board, however there are still some major concerns with the East San Joaquin River Watershed WDR that was passed by the Regional Board in December of 2012. The Coalition is hopeful we can work with the Regional Board and make sure any order passed for our Coalition area has common sense solutions in it for improving water quality.
The Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board has a Draft Program Environmental Impact Report for the Irrigated Land Regulatory Program. Within this document the Regional Board evaluates different alternatives for a Irrigated Lands Regulatory Program (ILRP) and make a recommendation for a new long term program to be implemented in 2011.
The current ILRP was initiated in 2003 with the adoption of Conditional Waiver of Waste Discharge Requirements for Discharges from Irrigated Lands within the Central Valley Region. A revised Conditional Waiver was adopted in July 2006, and a work group assembled to develop alternatives to the ILRP for environmental analysis.
Many interpret the word "waiver" as not having a regulatory program or not having to comply with water quality regulations, however this is incorrect. A Conditional Waiver is a regulatory document that regulates what an entity can discharge into the waterways of California. Waivers must be reviewed and adopted every 5 years.
After working with the current Irrigated Lands program over the past years, the Regional Board has determined changes need to be made in the program and the certain regulatory elements need to be added, including regulating groundwater.
Regional Board Staff Proposed New Program.
Within the Draft Environmental Impact Report, the Regional Board staff has a staff proposal which takes elements of the different alternatives and develops a new Irrigated Lands Regulatory Program. This proposal includes the continuation of the current surface water program with some changes and a groundwater regulatory requirement.
The staff proposal includes a groundwater component where farmers must monitor the groundwater and determine if farming practices have an effect on groundwater quality. Farmers would then have to implement management practices to prevent groundwater degradation and improve groundwater quality.
Since groundwater monitoring and modeling is completely different than surface water monitoring, the San Joaquin County and Delta Water Quality Coalition has concerns about how this program will be implemented and the effect it will have on agriculture in the region.
The Draft EIR and Proposed program can be found on the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board's website by following this link LTILRP.
The Regional Board's staff proposal for a new program is actually in Appendix A - Staff Report. The main recommended program begins on page 142 of Appendix A.

Technology and location; lessons from Gideon Lee
Redwood Comment
Dr Mike Redwood
Gideon Lee was one of the most famous people in New York; Mayor between 1933-34, and with a big house at 37 Frankfort Street - the same street where Schultz and Kuttner later plotted the concept of chrome tanning over lunch in Racky's restaurant. Born in Massachusetts he moved to New York to become a leather merchant and, after some success, in 1817 he started a joint stock company in the U.S. to tan leather. The New York Tannery was built in the Catskills and was the first covered tannery to be built in the U.S..
In February 1838 he gave two lectures on Tanning to the Eclectic Fraternity in New York. Easily found online they offer a fascinating insight into tanning knowledge at the time. He indicates that it was only in the 1790s that we began to understand that there was more to vegetable tanning than physically "filling the open pores with tannin", and that something chemical was involved. "It is the chymical union, or combination of this tannin, with the gelatine, or glue of the hide, that forms the insoluble substance which we call leather."
He discusses the level of tannin to be found in different vegetable materials and argues at length about the benefits of hemlock over oak for sole leather, as long as it is processed correctly. He recognises that work has been done to extract the tannin from the bark to make its export economical but argues that "the transportation of the hides to the hemlock districts, will be found to cost much less than the process of extraction, and transportation of the tannin to the hides." With river, rail and canal transportation improving fast he was leading the departure of tanning from downtown New York City into the forests of the East Coast. Lee considered, and largely rejected, the idea of non-vegetable-based tanning and it was to be over 50 years before we had commercially viable chrome tanning and nearer a hundred before syntans came in significantly. In fact, for the rest of the 19th century the most visible change was the rapid rise in mechanisation and moves into large factories driven by steam and eventually electricity. Well into the 20th century we still saw the long lines of machines driven by belt from a single motor.
Big beasts
Gideon Lee was one of those big beasts in the leather industry, a visionary who looked ahead and was willing to support his ideas with investment. He thought that hemlock was undervalued as a sole leather tannage only because those using it had generally been slow to adopt modern approaches. The tannery he built made hemlock tanned sole leather with the most up-to-date methods. He took the tannery to the forest as he calculated that to be the most economic way forward at the time, building a large warehouse nearby to store leather during the winter months when transportation into New York was difficult. This was the foundation of economic geography, written about by Edgar Hoover in his seminal 1937 book; 'Location Theory and the Shoe and Leather Industries'.
Technology strategy and location decisions are both vital areas today. Technology to find a new, better tanning method seems to have stalled but, given how long it took to commercialise chromium, perhaps that is not a surprise; while leather stays unchanged consumers are watching alternates get better very quickly. Advancement, with or without chromium, is needed urgently in order for leather to keep its place in the world. Classics will be with us forever, but they are not enough to keep the whole leather industry alive.
There was also a time that governments would act to protect supply networks, and aid efficiencies. Today it seems to be the reverse. Location is less about where production and distribution costs are lowest, or where raw material is available but overly concerned with finding safe havens from unexpected punitive tariffs. As a U.S. Congressman and a Presidential Elector, Gideon Lee would have something to say about that.

Natural Remedies for RA Pain - Essential Oils for RA
The joint pain, swelling, and stiffness that come with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) can be so tough that you might be willing to do anything to stop it. Thankfully, there's a long list of conventional and non-conventional treatments that can ease that pain.
Plant-based "essential oils" can play a part in your treatment. They've been used for centuries to lessen joint pain. But the safety and effectiveness of EOs, as they're sometimes known, have been a topic of debate for years.
Still, some people with RA swear by EOs as part of their treatment regimen, and many doctors give the go-ahead to try them. It's a good idea to make an appointment with your doctor or rheumatologist to talk it over.
They're derived from herbs, flowers, fruits, and other plants. These oils generally have a pleasing fragrance and are used in a complementary treatment known as aromatherapy (also called essential oil therapy). You usually inhale them or rub them on your skin. Sometimes, you add them to foods like peppermint tea.
EOs can come from many different plants, including:
Holy basil (tulsi)
Do They Really Work?
Aromatherapy is a complementary treatment, meaning it's meant to be used along with, not instead of, your prescribed treatment. Tell your doctor if you're using EOs or if you'd like to use them. There are risks: Some oils, in different forms and doses, can cause things like:
Low blood sugar, testosterone, or iron
Stomachaches
It may also interfere with medicine you're taking.
Don't stop your conventional therapy in favor of essential oils. That could lead to permanent joint damage.
Still, EOs seem to work for many people. Holy basil (tulsi) is said to work as an anti-arthritic. Studies have been done on many oils -- including, notably, turmeric, lavender, and ginger -- to gauge how well they ease inflammation and the pain of arthritis. But many believe more research is needed.
How well many of these treatments work is still up for debate. The fact that so many people are using them or looking for another treatment for their RA is pushing researchers to keep studying.
So far, the research is promising. It's also continuing. But it's not widely accepted science yet. Before you start using essential oils, talk with your doctor.

Four people were killed and six injured in a car bomb in front of a café in Russia's volatile North Caucasus region of Dagestan, reports said on Wednesday quoting local police.
"Three dead and seven injured were taken to hospital, one injured person died on the operating table," a medical source told the Ria-Novosti agency following the attack at Khassaviourt.
Russia is battling an Islamist insurgency in the Caucasus and deadly attacks on government and police officials in Dagestan as well as neighbouring Chechnya and Ingushetia are an almost daily occurrence. Suicide bombings are also becoming increasingly frequent in the Caucasus.
The car bomb followed Monday's suicide bombing at Russia's main airport in which 35 people died.
Unofficial reports have said that bombing was likely planned by militants from the mainly Muslim Northern Caucasus and media have published a photograph said to be the severed head of the suspected bomber.
Monday's blast was Moscow's second attack in less than a year.
Last March, double bombings carried out by two female suicide bombers on the Moscow metro killed 40 and wounded more than 100, marking the deadliest violence in the Russian capital since 2004.

Tony is involved in two exciting hydrogen projects: FutureGrid and Project Union. FutureGrid involves building a facility to create a representative whole-network to trial hydrogen. Project Union will develop a UK hydrogen 'backbone', joining together clusters around the country, potentially creating a 2000km hydrogen network.
In addition to discussing these projects, this episode will explore the following issues:
-) Managing the transition and challenges in repurposing natural gas pipelines to hydrogen
-) The potential for blending and de-blending hydrogen
-) The impact of hydrogen on National Grid's regulatory approach
-) How to take the first steps towards a hydrogen wholesale market

Director of the Centre for Research into Energy Demand Solutions, Nick's role entails looking into energy use, energy demand and energy efficiency. He is also an acting Co-Director of the University of Oxford's new Zero Institute, which aims to accelerate the transition to a zero-carbon energy system.In addition to Nick, Matt is joined by Bettina Wittneben, Sustainability Lead UK, at AFRY Management Consulting to discuss a range of topics concerning energy demand, including:-) The drivers and policies that are driving energy demand in the UK-) The approaches to lowering energy demand for heating and cooling, and whether heat pumps and hydrogen could provide potential solutions-) The different approaches to handling increased energy and commodity prices-) How Nick thinks the government should help with energy bills in the UK's cost of living crisis-) The potential of new solutions to respond to increased energy demand
S2E5 | Green Steel – shaping a better future with Eva Blixt, Senior Advisor at Jernkontoret
In this episode we are joined by Eva Blixt, Senior Advisor and Research Manager at Jernkontoret, the Swedish Steel Industry Association. Jernkontoret safeguards the steel industry's interests, working for the best possible preconditions for operations in Sweden.Traditionally, the steel industry's image has not been well perceived, being seen as old-fashioned, male-dominated, and negatively impacting the environment, which led to Jernkontoret working with stakeholders to develop their "steel shapes a better future" vision. The vision has three key undertakings to change this perception: leading technical development, nurturing creative individuals, and creating environmental benefits.Eva joins us along with John Williams, Head of Hydrogen Expertise Cluster and Bettina Wittneben, Sustainability Lead UK at AFRY Management Consulting, to discuss where the steel industry is heading through innovations such as fossil-free steel, its associated emissions, and how it has changed in recent years.

My intention of using this product to generate a long pdf/Jpeg so I can post it on social media. But it costs to generate a pdf. So I purchased the product. Then I figured out that the pdf I generated with this app is not a long pdf that fits the mobile phone screen, but a regular pdf that I can create myself on my laptop. Waste of money.
Updated this new version but find that I cannot log in. I tried the web version, it was fine.

Open access data sharing in genomic research.
Title Open access data sharing in genomic research.
The current emphasis on broad sharing of human genomic data generated in research in order to maximize utility and public benefit is a significant legacy of the Human Genome Project. Concerns about privacy and discrimination have led to policy responses that restrict access to genomic data as the means for protecting research participants. Our research and experience show, however, that a considerable number of research participants agree to open access sharing of their genomic data when given the choice. General policies that limit access to all genomic data fail to respect the autonomy of these participants and, at the same time, unnecessarily limit the utility of the data. We advocate instead a more balanced approach that allows for individual choice and encourages informed decision making, while protecting against the misuse of genomic data through enhanced legislation.


The 'Birthday' singer just accomplished an incredible feat -- she just became the most certified digital artist in music history, meaning that she has received more gold and platinum certifications than any other digital artist. Work it, girl!
"Katy Perry is a force to be reckoned with in music," RIAA Chairman & CEO Cary Sherman said in a statement. "We are honored to recognize Katy as the most successful digital artist in Gold & Platinum Program history. She embodies all that makes a true global superstar: the musical talent, the extraordinary drive and genuine charisma, and an intrinsic connection with her fans."
"This award is a reflection of her deep commitment to those qualities and to her music, which has propelled her to this historic milestone," he continued. "We congratulate Katy and her team on all her success."

Q: Multinomial logit, standard and robust errors I'm computing a multinomial logit model with Biogeme. Looking at the final results, it seems that some variables are not statistically significant when standard errors are considered. However, with robust standard errors, they are all significant. Does anyone know if it make sense in this kind of model consider only the robust standard errors? I don't know if in multinomial logit, as it is different from a linear regression, the use of robust standard errors leads to a different interpretation.
Sorry for this silly question

A: When a model is nonlinear in parameters (like your multinomial logit),
the MLE of the parameter vector is both biased and inconsistent if the errors are heteroskedastic, unless you modify the likelihood function to correctly take into account the precise form of heteroskedasticity. This is very different from the linear case. Similarly, the MLE of the asymptotic covariance matrix of the parameters will also be inconsistent. The terms "correctly" and "precise" are key, since it is hard to know exactly what sort of heteroskedasticity you have going on. To make things worse, the bias is also in an unknown direction.
I don't know about Biogeme, but other stats packages have commands that allow you to parameterize the heteroskedasticity.

The iPhone is so secure that even the FBI couldn't hack into it. But if you're still worried about your smartphone's encryption, look no further than the $14,000 Solarin, which offers a military-grade "shielded mode" that fully encrypts calls and messages.
Solarin's maker, the Swiss-Israeli start-up Sirin Labs, says that the Android smartphone uses encryption that until now has not been available unless you're a government agent. Specifically, the Solarin uses 256-bit AES chip-to-chip encryption. But it's not on all the time; you activate it using a switch on the back of the handset.
The color options are relatively simple: black or white leather for the back of the handset with titanium, carbon, or gold edges. The base price is 9,500 British pounds, or about $13,900 (plus tax and options).
'We do not accept that price drives what's available in technology," Sirin co-founder Moshe Hogeg said in a statement.
Whether or not the price is driving the technology, prospective Solarin owners will likely want a lot more besides encryption and style for that kind of money. One of the other key benefits is connectivity: the phone is capable of 450Mbps download speeds and supports 24 LTE bands. It also has 802.11ad gigabit Wi-Fi.
The usefulness of those features, of course, depends on whether or not you can find carriers or hotspots that can deliver the bandwidth. But regardless of your data connection, you can still enjoy the 23.8-megapixel camera, 5.5-inch IPS LED display, and three speakers boosted by a built-in amplifier.
The Solarin phone will go on sale June 1, but only at Sirin's retail store in London.

Osinkolu to Lawan: APC, Nigerians expect much from you, don't betray us
by Dailytimes
Dr. Olusegun Osinkolu, a Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) was the Director General, Buhari/Osinbajo Campaign Council in Ekiti State in the 2019 elections. In this interview with our correspondent, GBENGA SODEINDE, he advised President Buhari to appoint the best hands as Ministers in his second term while also setting agenda for the Senator Ahmed Lawan-led Senate.
A new House of Assembly has just been constituted in Ekiti State. What do you expect from them?
The expectations are very high from the people. Firstly, there must be a clear departure from the immediate past assembly, because it was principally populated by those who had little knowledge of legislation.
But this time, we are having tested hands and those who are highly educated and exposed and Ekiti people expect a paradigm shift in terms of constructive engagements with the executive arm.
They must strive hard to balance the equation between representing the people well and also not rocking the boat by with the executive arm.
We saw what happened in the fifth assembly where the House practically became an appendage of the governor's office, so there must be some level of independence, though this should not be misinterpreted to mean that the lawmakers should see the executive as enemy. They must work in harmony and mutual respect.
The lawmakers should work hard on their oversight functions on the executive arm and the local governments, by serving as checks and balances and also ensuring strict compliance to financial regulations.
However, the jobs will be easy for them, because our governor and leader, Dr. Kayode Fayemi made it clear that he was not interested in rubber stamp assembly and that was why the APC carefully selected the candidates that stood for elections and won across the 26 constituencies, so that Ekiti populace can enjoy robust and effective legislation unlike the immediate past that was more of a lame duck assembly.
Don't you think that the fact that all the 26 lawmakers are members of APC could make them compromise?
I disagree with you, APC is a party of the masses. The masses are first on our agenda. That was why the APC dominated 8th National Assembly could disagree with President Muhammadu Buhari.
On many occasions, both chambers of the National Assembly had cause to disagree with the President and that is the beauty of democracy. No democracy can grow when the legislative arm is not active, so we look forward to having a robust, active and coherent assembly in Ekiti.
The new Speaker, Hon Funminiyi Afuye is a tested hand. He had been Leader of APC during the 13-13 equal strength between the PDP and the then Action Congress of Nigeria between 2007 and 2011.
So, he understands the rudiments of legislation and he knew that having a firm assembly is more dignifying, but just like I said the other time, this should not be taken too far, I mean , they should not be confrontational or taking up the executive or draging it into any crisis in an attempt to assert themselves, it has to be by mutual understanding and respect.
President Muhammadu Buhari has been sworn in for a second term. What do you think can be done to consolidate democracy dividends to the people?
You could attest to the fact that President Buhari did well in three areas he promised to work to ensure sanity, that is fighting corruption, diversifying the economy and fighting insecurity.
Before he came on board, insecurity had taken over virtually all the sections of the country, especially the North East and even parts of the North Central. Today, Boko Haram had been technically defeated.
The activities of the terror group had been restricted to Sambisa forest and we now have occasional bombing or killing unlike under President Goodluck Jonathan when bombings were like everyday occurrences.
Even the emerging banditry in Zamfara, Katsina and other states in the North West is being addressed. Before the advent of Buhari's government, Nigeria depended solely on oil.
Over 90 percent of the revenues were coming from the oil, but with diversification agenda in the solid mineral sector and agriculture, Nigeria is gradually becoming self sustaining.
Most of the rice being consumed in the country is grown locally. Also in the anti graft war, Buhari's government has done creditably well. Political office holders, even governors are now careful with expenditure. No more reckless spending like in the past.
So, he must consolidate on these gains by making sure that he appoints the ministers as soon as possible.
In the first term, it took the President almost six months to constitute his cabinet and this in a way constituted serious impediment and slowed down governance.
So we expect him to constitute his cabinet within one or one and half months and then hit the ground running.
He should also appoints the right people, I mean, putting square pegs in square holes.
The President is also expected to bring in technocrats to help politicians in strategic positions to achieve the agenda of government and take the country to the next level.
Governor Kayode Fayemi is now the chairman of the Nigeria's Governors' Forum. What innovations do you expect him to bring on board?
It was a well deserved victory. My charge to Dr Kayode Fayemi is to deploy his energy as the Chairman of the Nigeria Governors' Forum to advance the development of the nation.
I advise that Fayemi should use the highly influential status to fight on the side of Nigerians, by ensuring that there is equity and justice in the distribution of the country's wealth.
I want to congratulate the good people of Ekiti State and the South West, because the feat was a record broking event that will reshape the politics of the country.
I urge Fayemi to bring his administrative ingenuity as well as shrewd and political wizardry to bear in ensuring that Nigerians feel the positive impact of the new position.
I want to congratulate Dr. Fayemi for reshaping the politics of our dear state with this new position. The image of Ekiti State had again been launched to higher pedestal with this new status, being the first time a governor from our state and region will occupy this position.
We appeal to him to lead a cohesive forum and work hard to ward off enemies from returning the forum to old days when it was divided along party and personal interest lines occasioned by high wired political pursuits.
I am confident that Governor Fayemi will surpass his predecessor, Alhaji Yari, who deployed the position to negotiate for the disbursement of Paris club refunds and other intervention funds to states while in crises over the payment of salaries.
Posterity will continue to remember Zamfara governor in this regard. Bearing this in mind, Governor Fayemi must be a vociferous voice against injustice in the land.
He must place high premium on the benefit accruing to Nigerians rather than personal political pursuit for history to be fair to him.
He should also be circumspect of the fact that those profiting from the deeply entrenched lopsidedness in our nation always loved to weaken the forum and throws it into crisis.
Our dear governor must be conscious of this and prepare hard to ensure a more cohesive body that can deliver democracy dividends to the Nigerian citizens.
What is your advice to the Senator Ahmed Lawan-led Senate?
His emergence was a big boost to APC, because we didn't get it right in 2015, when Senator Bukola Saraki won through the support of some PDP lawmakers.
But with Senator Lawan as Senate President, there would be more cordial relationship between the executive and the legislature and this should be the disposition of the current Senate.
We could all bear witness to the fact that the last Senate was a little bit rancorous , owing to highly entrenched distrust and it affected governance because many times, the two arms disagreed on the passage of the budget over alleged padding of the budget.
Now that the choice of the party has emerged, we expect that the two arms will focus on those things that will promote unity and how best to work together to develop the nation through infrastructure, poverty eradication and generation of revenues for the nation.
In achieving this, Senator Lawàn must carry everybody along. He should avoid segregation based on politics, ethnicity and religion. He should carry all the senators along and this is the only way the smooth relationship with the executive can be achieved and sustained.
