Isolation on Film
When we all started isolating, I immediately thought of a few films that captured different aspects of social isolation. If you find yourself with a desire to reflect on isolation, here are 3 movies and a tv series to watch.
Physical Isolation: The Wall
In German with English subtitles — 2012
In this movie, a woman on a weekend retreat to the country finds herself suddenly and inexplicably trapped by an invisible barrier that separates herself and everyone else. She learns to adapt and cope with her isolation. I saw this movie in the theater, I think at the IFC Center. It's a movie I think about from time to time, and try to think about the invisible barriers I put up for myself.
Domestic Isolation: Jeanne Dielman, 23, Quai Du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles
In French with English subtitles — 1975
Jeanne Dielman is a single mother who goes through her days completing repetitive and mundane domestic tasks. Although many scenes were choreographed, the director filmed many of these scenes so that they appear real-time, slow, deliberate. Jeanne chooses her daily activities, from shining shoes, to making meatloaf, to turning the lights on and off, but she is essentially trapped in her domestic life of repetition. It's clear she puts in focused effort as she carries out these tasks, but does she enjoy it? Does it matter?
And there's something about watching this older movie, which came out in 1975, with no cell phones, no internet — you just feel the pressure of domesticity closing in on Jeanne. There are definitely some surprising plot twists in this movie, though.
I think about this movie often, like when I'm washing the dishes or cleaning the bathtub. I believe I saw this movie on Hulu, back when a Hulu subscription came with access to the Criterion Collection. I hope to watch it again.
Cultural Isolation: Walkabout
In English and an Australian indigenous language (not translated) — 1971
Opens IMBD in a new window
In this movie, a white adolescent girl and her younger brother find themselves abandoned in the Australian outback. Eventually, they meet an Aboriginal adolescent boy, roughly the same age as the girl, out on his ritual Walkabout. The rest of the movie tracks their physical journey together.
This film is a masterpiece. It stars Jenny Agutter, and was the film debut for David Gulpilil.
Despite the sister and brother being thoroughly dependent on the Aborigine for their physical survival, the sister, in particular, remains unable — unwilling, really — to break out of her cultural frame of reference and the trio remain alone together. I suppose the Aboriginal boy also seems to lack the sense to realize that sticking to his cultural traditions alone isn't enough to connect with this sibling couple.
Rogerebert.com has this to say:
"The movie is not the heartwarming story of how the girl and her brother are lost in the outback and survive because of the knowledge of the resourceful aborigine. It is about how all three are still lost at the end of the film–more lost than before, because now they are lost inside themselves instead of merely adrift in the world.
…there is a wide range of experiment and experience that remains forever invisible to us, because it falls in a spectrum we simply cannot see."
Despite the pessimism of this film, I really love the soundtrack for this movie, which was made for the film by composer John Barry. The song, Who Killed Cock Robin is set to a minor key and slow tempo, with orchestra and a chorus; a beautiful effect. You can hear it toward the end of the video.
Marital Isolation: Scenes from a Marriage
Swedish with English subtitles — 1973
Scenes from a Marriage is a 6-part, Swedish miniseries. The series follows a husband and wife, starting from what seems like marital bliss and over time their marriage slowly falls apart. It's been a while since I originally saw it, but I remember wondering if these two were every really connected or if they were still in their own world but together. They do argue, but it still seems somehow measured.
Anyway, this movie was directed by Ingmar Bergman, and stars Liv Ullmann and Erland Josephson; good reasons to watch.

Members of the FM Diversion Authority, U.S. Army of Corps of Engineers (Corps), and other leaders from around the region attended the Red River Basin Commission Conference in Fargo this week.
Col. Samuel Caulkins, the District Commander of the St. Paul District of the Corps, and City of Fargo engineer April Walker presented on Wednesday, Jan. 18, about the the numerous alternatives considered during the development of the FM Area Diversion Project. Following their presentation, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Commissioner Tom Landwher presented its viewpoints about the project.
Read more about the presentations.
Leaders from Fargo and Cass County traveled to Bismarck earlier this month to update state lawmakers on the progress of the FM Area Diversoin Project.In total, the state of North Dakota has pledged $570 Million to build the Project.
ND Legislative session continues through April.
FAQ: How was the location for the Project Chosen?
The Corps recommended a North Dakota Diversion after looking at numerous alternatives in both MN and ND.
The Corps is required to determine a National Economic Development (NED) plan. The NED outlines the greatest net national economic benefit consistent with protecting the Nation's environment. The NED plan was a 40,000 cubic feet per second (cfs) diversion channel on the Minnesota side. The Corps has the ability to recommend a different plan for construction, which was done. The Corps recommended the Locally Preferred Plan, which was a 35,000 cfs diversion channel on the North Dakota side. There was considerable opposition to a diversion on the Minnesota side from state leaders, including Dilworth Mayor Chad Olson and Rep. Collin Peterson, who said the plan had a "minus 5 percent" chance of being approved. The North Dakota diversion has the added benefit of also protecting flooding along six rivers (Red, Wild Rice, Sheyenne, Maple, Rush, Lower Rush). This plan also benefits more people and infrastructure than the Minnesota diversion (the benefits to Fargo were similar with both plans). At the time of development, the Minnesota Diversion would have had downstream impacts all the way to the Canadian border. This plan likely would have developed similarly to the North Dakota Diversion, requiring an upstream staging area.

Imre Nagy also Imre Zsögödi Nagy, Imre Nagy of Jigodin (25 July 1893 – 22 August 1976) was a Romanian-Hungarian painter, born in the part of Hungary that later became part of Romania.

After studying at the Budapest Art Academy, Nagy returned to his native village Jigodin in 1924, where he painted landscapes and the Szekler population in these landscapes.

Nagy was active as an artist for 54 years. He lived in a simple house with three rooms, which he expanded in 1966 with an art studio. All his working life he started working there every day at six o'clock in the morning, and this until a very old age.

Nagy passed away at the age of 82. His ashes are bricked into the outer wall of his birthplace in Jigodin. His personal items, including furniture and books, are displayed in this house. His large collection of straw hats and his two unfinished portraits are also on display there. In 1973, in honor of his eightieth birthday, a museum was built next to his birthplace. After Imre Nagy's death, the museum was inaugurated as a permanent exhibition of his work and of his art collection which consists of more than 6000 works.

Nagy was a contemporary of István Nagy, Jenő Gyárfás and Ferenc Márton. His painting Spre arca lui Noe ("Before Noah's Ark") inspired the poet Sándor Kányádi to write a poem on the back of Nagy's painting.

In 1939 he was awarded the Mihály Zichy Prize and in 1957 the Maistru al Artei Prize (prize for mastery of art).

His paintings are located in several museums in Transylvania. There is a street in Jigodin and a primary school in Miercurea Ciuc named after him.

The Greek community has been an integral part of the UNCW culture for over 50 years. With their combined membership, fraternities and sororities constitute one of the largest student groups on campus.
Joining a fraternity at UNCW is as easy as saying to one of the members you wish to join. You do not need to register with the Greek office and not all fraternities choose to be in the IFC. UNCW Student Affairs office runs the IFC. The fraternity can then instruct you on what you need to do.
The local fraternities are also an option and some choose to join them or you may start one with a group of friends. The advantage is they are not recognized by UNCW Greek office. The disadvantage is unless one joins a national organization, the sustainability is not there and because of their private nature we have not chosen to list on this website. Please choose what works for you.
Delta Gamma sorority is expecting to start in the Spring semester of 2018.
Pi Kappa Phi was the first fraternity chartered by a national organization and it was founded in 1964.
Kappa Alpa Order fraternity raised funds for The MDA Muscle Walk of Wilmington.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity gained national recognition for having a new law written that restored due process protections for students. The new law is named the "Student and Administration Equality Act" but referred to as "The SAE Act". Click here to learn more.
Kappa Delta sorority started last year and was the 10th sorority added to UNCW.
Seahawk Pride was shown again this past season when the student section for the games at Trask was filled with many Greeks. UNCW was 25-8 i then 2015-16 season, won the CAA championship and went to the NCAA's. They repeated again and defeated the College of Charleston to again win the title in 2016-17 with a 29-6 record. Fraternities and sororities are always have a large number of members attend UNCW athletic events.
The Greek experience creates strong relationships that go beyond ordinary friendships. The UNCW Greek community is extremely proud of its past history and equally excited about a growing future at one of the most popular universities in the nation.
The average number of students that typically join a fraternity or sorority on a college campus is around 10%. UNCW exceeds that national average with over 13% of the students belonging to a social Greek-letter organization. This independent website was created by a representative team of Greek alumni who were part of the fraternity and sorority experience at UNCW and desire to see that positive long-standing tradition continue in the future.
National studies show that despite that fact that only a small percentage of the population ever joined a fraternity or sorority in college, the number of those in leadership roles later on in life are significantly higher. For example, over 75% of the 50 largest corporations in America are headed by Greek men and women.
While it can be easy to point to the negative stories about Greeks that grab headlines, research shows them in a different light. The Gallup Poll points to the advantages they found in a story named Fraternity and Sorority Membership Linked to Higher Well-Being for College Grads in research they conducted. The Wall Street Journal also came to the same conclusion when they looked into Greek life as they point out in a story entitlred Greek Life Shown to Be Linked to Real-Life Happiness.
Greek members also understand the importance of giving and on average donate more than four times as much to their respective universities as alumni than non-Greeks. This is a clear indicator of the positive experience they had by becoming a member of a fraternity or sorority.
There are a myriad of options when it comes to getting involved. Take the time to learn more about the different Greek-letter choices at UNCW to see if it is right for you.
"Whatever the letters - Greeks do it better!"
It can be confusing to understand the different organizations that use Greek letters. The term fraternity can often be used for single gender and co-ed fraternities and sororities. There are also a difference between a "social", "service" and "academic" fraternity.
This website is about the old-line traditional "social" fraternities and sororities which have been around for over 150 years. In addition UNCW has four (ΑΚΑ, ΑΦΑ, ΔΣΘ, ΖΦΒ) of the nine historically African American social fraternities that hold membership in the National Pan-Hellenic Council and there are other social fraternities and that are religious (ΣΑΩ) or culturally based.
There are also "service" fraternities that are co-ed and dedicated to philanthrophy and community service. Alpha Phi Omega is one of the largest service national fraternities and UNCW had a chapter from 1969 to 2007. There are currently no service fraternities at UNCW.
Business and Academic fraternities also use Greek letters and are devoted to their particular professional pursuit. UNCW has several of these fraternities such as ΑΕΔ (Healthcare), ΒΑΨ (Accounting) and ΧΣΑ (Student Affairs) as an example.
While most organizations disallow a member from joining more than one "social" fraternity, that doesn't prevent students from joining a social and business fraternity or other clubs on campus. Each organization has it's own set of rules for membership, but all have benefits from simply being involved.

Gojira Announce New Album Fortitude, Share Video for New Song: Watch
The French metal band's first album since 2016's Magma
By Allison Hussey
Gojira, photo by Gabrielle Duplantier
French metal outfit Gojira have announced a new album, the band's first since 2016's Magma. It's called Fortitude and it's out April 30 via Roadrunner. Watch the music video for the new song "Born for One Thing" below. The visual was directed by Charles De Meyer and shot in France and Belgium.
The single was partially inspired by the Tibetan and Thai philosophers vocalist/guitarist Joe Duplantier read during his youth. "We have to practice detaching ourselves from everything, beginning with actual things," Duplantier said in a statement. "Own less possessions, and give what you don't need away, because one day we'll have to let everything go, and if we don't, we'll just become ghosts stuck between dimensions."
Gojira recorded Fortitude at their studio in Queens, New York, with Duplantier producing the project. The album includes "Another World," which the band released as a single last summer.

'Fargo' Season 4: Chris Rock to Play a Mafia Godfather in 1950s Kansas City, as FX Officially Orders 'Year Four'
TCA: Production on the new season is slated to begin in 2019.

They made him an offer he couldn't refuse. Chris Rock has joined the cast of "Fargo" Season 4 — or "Year Four," as creator Noah Hawley prefers. The stand-up comedian, actor, writer, and director will play the head of an African American crime syndicate who goes to war with the Italian mafia in Kansas City, Missouri during the 1950s.
"I'm a fan of 'Fargo' and I can't wait to work with Noah," Rock said in a statement.
John Landgraf, CEO of FX Networks and FX Productions, announced the official renewal at the Television Critics Association press tour Friday morning. The release stated production on Season 4 will begin in 2019 and also provided the first synopsis for the new episodes:
In 1950, at the end of two great American migrations — that of Southern Europeans from countries like Italy, who came to the US at the turn of the last century and settled in northern cities like New York, Chicago — and African Americans who left the south in great numbers to escape Jim Crow and moved to those same cities — you saw a collision of outsiders, all fighting for a piece of the American dream. In Kansas City, Missouri, two criminal syndicates have struck an uneasy peace. One Italian, one African American. Together they control an alternate economy — that of exploitation, graft and drugs. This too is the history of America. To cement their peace, the heads of both families have traded their eldest sons.
Chris Rock plays the head of one family, a man who — in order to prosper — has surrendered his oldest boy to his enemy, and who must in turn raise his son's enemy as his own. It's an uneasy peace, but profitable. And then the head of the Kansas City mafia goes into the hospital for routine surgery and dies. And everything changes. It's a story of immigration and assimilation, and the things we do for money. And as always, a story of basically decent people who are probably in over their heads. You know, Fargo.
Rock, who previously worked with FX as an executive producer on "Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell," follows in the footsteps of Billy Bob Thornton, Kirsten Dunst, and Carrie Coon (or Ewan McGregor, if you prefer to be wrong) as the "Fargo" leads. Though actors like Bokeem Woodbine, Keegan-Michael Key, and Jordan Peele have all left quite a mark on Hawley's fictionalized Midwestern world, Rock is the first black lead of the series.
During Landgraf's panel, he said Hawley reached out to Rock about the part because he "really wanted to work with Chris."
Hawley, meanwhile, has been busy. The creator of "Fargo" and "Legion" is in the midst of shooting his feature directorial debut, "Pale Blue Dot," with Natalie Portman, and he's currently developing "Doctor Doom" as a Marvel film as well as his 2016 novel "Before the Fall." Credited as the showrunner, writer, and director of "Fargo," Hawley will, per the release, "lead the creative team" on "Fargo" Season 4.
That could be important considering the significance of Kansas City to "Fargo" lore. The western Missouri metropolis was the base of operations for Season 2's interloping antagonists, simply titled "The Kansas City Mafia," which employed none other than Mike Milligan, played by fan-favorite Woodbine. Could the new season tie into his origin story as well as others? Only time will tell.
"We think of crime as being Las Vegas or New York, but Kansas City was the center of power for organized crime during this time," Landgraf said. "The tentacles of these organizations stretch out from Kansas City into the upper midwest, and we've seen [Hawley show that in past seasons]. Now he's going more to the source."
No other casting was announced. "Fargo" Season 4 has not been given a release date.

Poco X2: The sequel to the Pocophone F1 has just been launched
Peter Phelps | February 4, 2020 2:22 pm GMT
The Pocophone was a very popular mid-range device among smartphone enthusiasts, so can the brand replicate its success with the new Poco X2?
Announced in India on February 4, the Poco X2 boasts a smooth 120Hx display, a Snapdragon 730G chip, and a 64-megapixel camera and all for a winning price. Read on for the full specifications.
Poco X2 Release Date and Price
The Poco X2 was announced on February 4, and it will become available to buy in India from February 11 via FlipKart.com. We don't yet know when or if the device will be released in the UK and Europe, as it may remain exclusive to India.
You can watch the recorded livestream of the launch event via the embedded video below:
There are a total of three spec variants of the phone, which are priced as follows:
6GB RAM, 64GB storage: ₹15,999 (~£173)
6GB RAM, 128GB storage: ₹16,999 (~£183)
There are three different colours to choose from: Phoenix Red, Atlantis Blue, and Matrix Purple.
Poco X2 Camera
The Pocophone has four rear cameras and two selfie cameras, which are embedded in a cut-out section of the screen, similar to the Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus:
Image Credit: GSM Arena
The rear camera module is led by a Sony IMX 686 sensor with 64-megapixel resolution, and it's complemented by an 8-megapixel ultrawide lens, a 2-megapixel depth sensor, and a 2-megapixel macro lens.
The two front-facing cameras have a resolution of 20-megapixels and 2-megapixels.
Poco X2 Screen
The X2's screen measures 6.67-inches diagonally and has a Full HD+ resolution, as well as supporting HDR 10. But perhaps the standout is the fact it has a 120Hz refresh rate, which exceeds that of even the OnePlus 7T Pro and Google Pixel 4 and is equalled only by dedicated gaming phones such as the Asus ROG Phone 2 or the Razer Phone 2. The higher refresh rate should enable even smoother scrolling – hence the company's cringeworthy hashtag for the launch event: #SmoothAF
Poco X2 Specs
Aside from the camera and the screen, there's still a lot to get excited about when it comes to the Poco X2.
Most important is the Snapdragon 730G chipset, which might actually be a little disappointing for Poco-fans; the previous installment in the series, the Pocophone F1, boasted a flagship Snapdragon 845 chip. Nonetheless, it is still an incredible specification for the price.
The X2 has a battery capacity of 4500mAh that can be topped up via 27W charging. Don't worry about the handset getting too hot; it's got liquid cool tehcnology, which the brand claims can dissipate heat 300% more quickly.
Other features include a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, and the return of the 3.5mm headphone jack.

Wow, that's an image I would put on the wall.


Hi there! Today's post is on the location of Triton. Triton is the largest satellite of Neptune and, of course, we know where it is. The paper I present you, entitled Precise CCD positions of Triton in 2014-2016 using the newest Gaia DR1 star catalog, aims at assisting an accurate modeling of its motion. This is a Chinese study, by Na Wang, Qing-Yu Peng, Huan-Wen Peng, H.J. Xie, S. Ma and Q.F. Zhang, which presents observations made at the Yunnan Observatory. This study has recently been published in The Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.
Triton is by far the largest satellite of Neptune, with a mean radius of 1,350 km. It was discovered almost simultaneously with Neptune, i.e. 17 days later, in 1846. It orbits Neptune in a little less than 6 days, and rotates synchronously.
Surprisingly, its orbit is very inclined with respect to the equator of Neptune (some 24°), and it is retrograde… which means that the inclination should not be given as 24° but as 180-24 = 156°. Usually the satellites have a very small inclination, since they are supposed to have been formed in a nebula which gave birth to the planet. Such a large inclination means that Triton has probably not been formed in situ but was an asteroid, which has been trapped by Neptune. Since then, it loses some orbital energy, which has resulted in a circularization of its orbit and a fall on Neptune.
Triton has been visited by the Voyager 2 spacecraft in 1989, which covered about 40% of its surface. It revealed an atmosphere of nitrogen and evidences of melting, which indicate a geological activity, probably resulting in a differentiated body. It could even harbor or have harbored a subsurface ocean.
The goal of the paper I present today is to give accurate positions of Triton. This is called astrometry. The idea is this: measuring accurately the position of a body at a given date requires to take a picture of the satellite. Stars must be present in the field since the satellite will be positioned according to them. The result will then be compared to the predictions given by dynamical models, called ephemerides. Since we observe only in 2 dimensions, i.e. on the celestial sphere, which is a surface, then an astrometric position consists of two coordinates: the right ascension and the declination.
The positions of the stars surrounding the satellite, actually its image projected on the celestial sphere, since the stars are much further, are known thanks to systematic surveys. The satellite Gaia is currently conducting the most accurate of such surveys ever performed, and the first data were released in 2016, in the Gaia Data Release 1 (DR1, see this post, from October 2016). The accuracy of Gaia lets us hope very accurate future astrometry, and even past, since old observations could be retreated in using Gaia's catalog.
To have a better knowledge of the physical properties of the bodies. Some of these properties, like the mass and the energy dissipation (tides), affect the orbital motion.
Diffraction on the CCD chip. When you observe a point as a light-source, you actually see a diffraction disk, and you have to decide which point on the disk is the position of your object. You can partly limit the size of the diffraction disk in limiting the exposure time, this prevents the chip from being saturated. If this results in a too faint object, then you can add several images.
The anisotropy of the light scattering by the surface of the body (here Triton). When we see Triton, we actually see the Solar light, which is reflected by the surface of Triton. Since the surface could be pretty rough, since the limb is darker than the center because of a different incidence angle, and since Triton is not seen as a whole disk (remember the lunar crescent), then the center of the diffraction disk, i.e. the photocentre, is not exactly the location of the body.
The refraction by the atmosphere. The atmosphere distorts the image, which makes the satellite-based images more accurate than the Earth-based ones. This distortion depends on the location of the observatory, and the weather. Some systems of adaptive optics exist, which partly overcome this problem.
The aberration. The relative velocity of the observed object with the observer (the Earth is moving, remember?) alters the apparent position of the objects.
The seeing. When you have some wind, the locations of the stars present some erratic variations.
The inhomogeneity of the CCD chip. An homogeneous lightning will not result in a homogeneous response, because of the positions of the pixel on the image (you have a better sensitivity in the center than close to an edge), and some technical differences between the pixels. A way to overcome this problem is to normalize the light measurement by a flat image, which is the response to a homogeneous lightning. This is usually obtained in taking a picture in the dome, or from the averaging of many images.
This paper presents 775 new observations, i.e. 775 new positions of Triton at given dates, between 2014 and 2016. The images were taken with a 1-meter refractor at the Yunnan National Observatory, Kunming, Yunnan, China. The residuals, i.e. observed minus predicted positions, are obtained from the ephemerides made by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California, USA. The authors obtain mean residuals of a few tens of milli-arcsec, i.e. some thousands of kilometers. Something interesting is the dispersion of these residuals: the authors show that when the stars are positioned with Gaia DR1, the residuals are much less dispersed than with an older catalog. The authors used the catalog UCAC4, released in August 2012 by the US Naval Observatory, for comparison.
These new observations will enrich the databases and permit the future improvements of ephemerides.

A year ago, we exclusively informed you about Microsoft's plans to unveil a dual-screen mobile device codenamed Andromeda. Over the past few months, we also learned how Microsoft is trying to build an unified Windows platform that runs across device types. It's called Windows Core OS, but it's essentially a modernized Windows 10, entirely built on UWP with composable shells for each device type.
Now the notable leaker 'Walking Cat' has confirmed on Twitter the codenames for the composers (shells). They have been found in some of the recent development builds of Windows 10.
We can see in the list the Andromeda composer that optimizes the OS to run on dual-screen devices. There is also a traditional phone composer which is essentially Windows 10 Mobile, and a Continuum composer – UI when the phone is connected to an external screen. The leak also confirms the Desktop composer (Polaris), and the shells for IoT and Surface Hub.
Keep in mind that future devices running the modernized version of Windows could have more than one composer. Microsoft is expected to first present a foldable device with Andromeda, Phone and Continuum shells. According to Mary Jo Foley, such a mobile device may come late in 2018, at the earliest, while devices with the Desktop shell (Polaris) won't appear before 2019.

ACT Human Rights Commission > News > More vulnerable people and victims of crime assisted, complaints up
More vulnerable people and victims of crime assisted, complaints up
The ACT Human Rights Commission has assisted more Canberrans than ever before, with a 31% increase in clients registered through the Victims Services Scheme and an increase in complaints about discrimination and health services.
These figures are contained in the Commission's 2019-20 Annual Report, released today.
ACT Human Rights Commission President Dr Helen Watchirs said: "Our annual report shows that our services and our work continues to grow in complexity and volume."
The report includes key service statistics from the year:
Victim Support ACT (VSACT) provided over 2150 clients with case coordination, advice, information, counselling, court support or justice advocacy services, a 27% increase on last year.
VSACT also received over 500 new applications for financial assistance, a 13% increase on last year.
VSACT's Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander program assisted 186 clients, a 47% increase on last year; and the multicultural outreach program assisted over 200 clients from 70 countries.
The Commission handled over 1,600 enquiries and over 800 complaints. Complaints about discrimination rose by 25%; and complaints about health services by 27%.
The Commission started ACT's first Intermediary Program. In six months, the program assisted over 40 vulnerable witnesses and victims.
Over 2,250 people were brought to the attention of the Public Advocate, and provided with advocacy and/or monitoring services.
Through the Children and Young People Commissioner, over 700 children and young people were empowered to share their views about issues impacting them.
"From client feedback, we know that over 80 per cent of people who took part in a conciliation with the Commission said the process was fair, accessible and understandable," Discrimination, Health Services, Disability and Community Services Commissioner, Karen Toohey said.
"In addition to the thousands of Canberrans assisted through our services, we continued to provide strong and independent advice to the ACT Government, MLAs and others,' Dr Watchirs said.
"This pivotal work, including 89 written pieces of legal advice, comments and submissions, helped ensure that ACT laws and policies are compatible with human rights, protecting the rights of all Canberrans," Dr Watchirs said.
"Our legal policy focus in 2019-20 has been in four areas: raising the age of criminal responsibility; highlighting the need for external review of care and protection decisions; enhanced protection of older people and people with a disability through a new complaint jurisdiction for abuse, neglect or exploitation of vulnerable Canberrans; and the new Charter of Rights for Victims of Crime.

Everday i hear different things from both sides but i think as a muslim we have the most strong bond. Please avoid to blame each other and live in peace. Basically i am suni but i respect shia and every other sect in circle of islam and i also have shia as my best friend. Everyone should play his part and love each other i make islam strongest thats the most important thing.
Assalam o Alaikum! First thing, all shias are not bad nor kaafir.Yes there are people who call themselves shias nd i've listen them nd they believe that (Angel Jibreel) made mistake Allah send jibreel to Ali (r.a) but he goes to Muhammad (SaW). Some of the writers compare Ali (r.a) with Allah. They abuse to ABUBAKAR(R,A) UMER(R.A) USMAAN(R.A) nd many other sahabas. like there speakers promote hate by telling these kind of stories which does not even exist in their books nd totally against the QurAn. But there are true Group of shias.Which is totally different from the other groupof shias.They're true following AhlyBait nd the teaching of Muhammad SAW. Yes they are right in their believe in a good manner. we should Differentiate between those.
(salam) Unfortunately, Sunni side is not much open for Shia muslims. So called hardliner Sunnis call Shias Kafir/Majoosi/Sabai/Jews etc. Even in mainstream Sunnis we do not see much struggle from Sunni side for unity among Ummah (Shia-Sunni Unity). Often we being Shias face an unreasonable demand from Sunni side for unity among Ummah (Shia-Sunni Unity) that "Shias should convert to Sunni for unity". This is like a Wahabi saying to a Brailvi convert to Wahabism if you want unity. One has to accept others with their faith/views for unity. One can not thrust upon his/her views to others. On the other hand major Shia scholars always tried and preached for Shia-Sunni unity. Because this is the only way to defeat imperialists/zionists in the world. There are many Shias who are working against Shia-Sunni unity but fortunately, they did not get good recognition from Shia community.
Whats wrong with many Shia Brothers & Sisters?
Salam aleykum to all During all the time I watched how many brothers and sisters having to much discussion each other and im really shocked sometimes. A brother on Facebook defend Palestinians and then some other Shia Brothers say "Israel should bomb those Bakris" or "Hezbollah and Iran are not Shia and are not helping my faith". Im not a friend of the Sunni way and also not a big supporter of Khamenei or Nasrallah (I still support Hezbollah and Islamic Iran), but how can you call yourself Shia Muslim and wish the death to Palestinians and call others who follow Khamenei and Nasrallah as Batris and insult them? How we can call ourselve Shia Muslim if we can not like eachother, because some follow a Marja and some not, because one is pro Palestinian and one not, because one is pro tatbir and one not? We should respect each other and not insult us because of politics. Every man have his opinion thats true, but not lets forget that there are also many Palestinians who appreciatte the support from Shia Muslim and Palestinians are not only Sunnis, there were also some Palestinian Shia and some live in Lebanon or Syria. Palestinian Christians are suffering also under zionist opression and must hide their Palestinian Identity as "Israeli Arab". Shia Muslims should also know that Zionists and there media is making fun about our beloved Prophets Isa and Mohammad (pbut) (its also a insult for Christians if Prophet Isa is being insulted by Israelis). We are lovers from the Ahlul Bayt and the Ahlul Bayt is against injustice. Remember when Imam Ali helped a poor old blind Christian man. Remember when Imam Hussein even asked his enemies for water for his son? The Ahlul Bayt teached us not to curse and insult our enemies. The Ahlul Bayt teached us to deal with generosity, to help, being without hate and envy, being friendly even in front of a enemy, not to judge etc. Yes Abu Bakr, Umar, Aisha, Uthman, Muawiya, Yazid they destroyed the view of Islam and I dont like them for what they did, but cursing Sunnis is not a solution just a foolish act like the enemies of the Ahlul Bayt did. We should ignore the insults and judges from Sunnis and go our own way. Its enough to answer normal and nice without insulting and curse. How we should teach the people about the Ahlul Bayt if we are being dividing us. Before we judge Sunnis, Christians, Atheists and other religions or non believers, we should first judge ourself.
Confused on Shias and Sunni.
Honestly this might sound really weird coming from a 15 year old, but I've been doing some research related to Shias and Sunni. I was born in a Sunni family. So I searched for different things related to different sects. Now I'm confused as to which sect is correct. So I prayed to God to show me signs of the correct sect. And I'm not even kidding but I had dreams for two consecutive days in which I was supporting Shias. So I guess those were signs.. But now I'm very confused and everyone must be thinking that I'm only 15 and all but it's not that. I have this affiliation with the prophet(pbuh) and his family. I started watching documentaries related to the battle of Karbla. I got scared as I've never been taught about it in such depth. And now I feel the pain. I could go on about this but I don't even know.. Thank you.
Neutral With Abu Bakr, Umar Etc..
Sunni Tribes Register To Help Iraqi Army Against..
Why We Shi'as Can Not Tolerate Each Other?
Salamun Alaykum. What saddens me the most is the fact that we as the only followers of Ahl al-Bayt on the earth, can not tolerate each other! Can we call ourselves Shi'a of Ali (as) when we hate other members of Shi'a school of thought? It is true that the issue of Yaser al-Habib and the like has caused much hatred between some Sunnis and Shi'as but if it leads to the same hatred among us as Shi'as then, I believe, we have done the best service to our enemies. This is not limitted to the above-mentioned issues. In many threads you may find Shi'as accusing others of being ignorant, stupid and so on and the only crime is that they have a different viewpoint! When you belong to a religious minority then you have to keep unity whatever the cost maybe. This by no means involve refraining from discussion. Let us keep discussing while bearing in mind the fact that my addressee is also a member of the school of Ahl al-Bayt. Reconsideration maybe!
Salam all, In the past days I have gone through a series of changes. A few days back I indirectly attacked Kamal Haydari, for his position on Irfan. Now I have come to another conclusion and take my words back. Although I still don't have any clue about Irfan Kamal Haydari teaches, I believe now, that he knows what he is talking about. I don't believe in self-studying of Irfan but rather only through a teacher, so I just leave that case to Kamal Haydari and those Shia Ulama who know about Irfan. Furthermore, I see the scholar Kamal Haydari as a highly respectable personality of Shia Islam who strives for unity within all sects. I see the challanges of today's world in other things: -steady (verbal and nonverbal) attacks from non-Muslims against Muslims -try to weaken religion, and specially Islam -spreading immorality in society: attacking religious values, spreading of homosexuality within society, stopping people from believing in God(especially after reading an anti-Islamic interview with Pakistani nuclear scientiest, called Pervez Hoodbhoy, who claimed that Muslim societies have failed) -simple-minded people who strive for disunity of society and Muslims So I don't see the challenges in some minor Islamic differences but in major issues. I see Sayed Kamal now as one of the younger generation of Ulama who may have answers to society's challenges and I wish him much success with his way of spreading true word.
Armenian bishop urges world to take lesson from Iran for proper treatment of religious minorities Isfahan, Jan 31, IRNA – Head of the Armenian Diocese of Isfahan Archimandrite Babken Charian said the international community should look at Iran as a role model for proper treatment of religious minorities and respecting them. In a meeting with Governor General of the central province of Isfahan Alireza Zaker-Esfahani Wednesday evening, the bishop praised the Islamic Republic for having managed to establish a very good interaction with members of religious minorities. Turning to the current situation in Syria and massacre of defenseless people there, he said the calamity is resulted from ignoring teachings of divine religions. On the special ceremonies Armenians held in Isfahan on the occasion, the bishop said his congregation prayed for establishment of peace all over the world including Syria. Zaker-Esfahani, for his part, stressed the need for promoting interaction among divine religions as the major needs of the human community today. He said the evil plans of enemies will certainly fail if all divine religions adhere to foster unity.

The name Betfred is now synonymous with the gambling industry. Over the last 50+ years the company has moved from very much a brick-and-mortar bookmaker into one of the most innovative online bookmakers in the world. With each year the company continues to grow, mainly down to the development of markets and sport such as horse racing. As a UK and mainly European based bookmaker it's understandable that horse racing will provide a massive part of their turnover and it's for this reason why they have spent so much time and money developing this side of their betting site.
New users can claim a free bet of up to £50 upon registering their account. The free bet is a 100% match on your initial deposit and can range between £5 and £50. Once you have deposited and placed your bet then your account will be credited with the amount of your first bet.
Betfred manage to cover a huge amount of races from countries around the world. Their bread and butter definitely come from the UK and Ireland with all of the major meets and majority of smaller meets being well covered. These include races on grass and all-weather surfaces.
Where they have probably excelled over rival bookmakers is the inclusion of international races. Meetings from France, South Africa, America, Dubai and a host of other destinations around the world have made it one of the most diverse horse racing bookmakers in terms of demographics.
It's also pleasing to see a bookmaker include a host of lower grouped races that other bookmakers simply over look. Whilst the bigger meets and the top grouped races are covered by pretty much every bookmaker on the planet, it's the inclusion of diversity to their markets that sets bookmakers apart, and this is certainly something Betfred have successfully achieved.
Betfred have included Win, Each-way, Forecast, Tricast, Exacta and Trifecta betting markets to their betting options. Whilst this covers the main bases for the majority of punters, it far from sets the industry alight in terms of number of markets.
That being said, they do allow access to a wide variety of Ante-Post markets, understandably from the bigger meets. Often markets are put together up to twelve months in advance of the next race or meeting. The likes of the Grand National, Cheltenham Festival, Betfred Golf Cup, Champion hurdle and Ladbrokes World Hurdle are some of the bigger Ante-Post markets.
One of the reasons we think Betfred is so popular with punters is their interactive race card. It is simply superb and our review of it simply won't do it justice. Nevertheless, here it is! After you have selected your race you are taken to an area which provides information on the race including distance, track length, if there will be a draw advantage and if so where, full form of each horse, jockey and trainer, a head to head overview, weight, silks colour and a video of each horses last run (where applicable). But the best bit about it all is its integrated predictor.
The predictor gives an overview of where it thinks each horse could finish taking into account all of the variables that we have just listed off. This takes all the leg work out and away from the punter and ranks each horse in how they are likely to finish. Not only is this available on the win market, but you can change it to show you place market, how each horse will perform on the current going and the best jockey/trainer combination in the field.
On the whole Betfred is up there with the best horse racing betting options. You can't help but feel that they are so close to becoming the ultimate horse racing outlet but a few niggling things have let them down; the main being the lack of markets on offer. The number is fine, but it's not great. A few added markets could really set the site apart from its competitors and it's something that seems so simple to do.
But the inclusion of features such as the superb Interactive Racecard really does make it one of the best sites to use for horse racing. We are massively impressed with how well Betfred has done over the years that it's so easy to recommend such a fantastic company.

This destroys the level of personalization, And your page gets more country-specific rather than being a page. With PostPlanner's automobile time-zone conversion, even when you schedule an update for 8 A.M., then it will be submitted at 8 A.M. local time for India, and 8 A.M. local time for the U.S., etc..

Meanwhile, spread flour on half of a shallow baking pan. Working with 2 or 3 slices at a time, transfer veal to flour in 1 layer.
Lightly season top side of veal with salt and pepper, then turn over to coat completely with flour.
Shake off excess flour and stack slices on other half of pan.
Sauté veal in batches without crowding, turning over once, until browned and just cooked through, about 1 1/2 minutes per batch.
Remove the cooked scallopini from the skillet and set aside.
Bring the wine, broth, tomatoes, and olives to a boil in uncleaned skillet, stirring and scraping up any brown bits, then add remaining 2 tablespoons butter and swirl skillet until butter is incorporated.
Top veal with the sauce and serve with a side of penne pasta or rice and steamed vegetables.


Place the small boards at one side of the room (on a table if available) and the small pieces sorted by player at the other end of the room. When you say Ready-Set-Go!, the children should race and grab 1 piece at a time, go place it on the board, then return and grab another piece, etc. Goal is to finish your board the fastest. Everyone should cheer when ANYONE completes their board (let everyone finish).
You can repeat the game so someone else has a chance to win. On repeat plays, you can say they have to walk, or have to move backward, etc.
Sort by piece type instead of by player, so everyone is grabbing from one pile of black kings, one pile of black pawns, etc.
Kids raced to set up the chessboards, grabbing pieces from one side of the play area and setting up the board on the other side. We all cheered when anyone completed their board!


Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) just doesn't seem to be running out of the ground to set foot in – its more recent, ambitious foray being the $200 billion online advertising industry. What stands out, however, is that Amazon.com's nimble, bold move into a territory dominated by giants Google (Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL) and Facebook Inc. (NASDAQ:FB) could very well pose a competitive threat for both dominant players.
The surprise 60% YoY jump in Amazon's online advertising sales is a clear indication that Amazon is serious about the online advertising business. The global e-commerce behemoth has set up a Google-like set of advertising tools and services that will help Amazon to mint billions of dollars. Google and Facebook together take up close to 6o% of the digital advertising market share in the United States alone, with other players in the space such as Microsoft and Yahoo! garnering just about 3.8% and 3.1%, respectively. Amazon's 1.3% market share, and $1.3 billion revenue from its "other" businesses, including online advertising, may seem insignificant in comparison to Google's $80 billion advertisement revenue; but it does call to question what Jeff Bezos and his team have their sights set on.
E-commerce still brings in Amazon's major revenues, but it looks like the company is now shifting its attention towards amassing more revenues from digital advertising. The company possesses the advantage of an advertising middleman and boasts of a massive database of consumer shopping patterns, tastes and preferences, and a healthy relationship with a multitude of vendors. Played right together, these factors could help Amazon boost its growth in online advertising revenues considerably. The company also already has in place its Advertise with Amazon model, wherein targeted advertisement are pitched at customers as they shop. This model of paid product placement is helping vendors and merchants reach out to the right audiences across the vast online market space. This edge that Amazon possesses over rivals Google and Facebook is a massive one and could make online advertising a larger contributor of revenue for Amazon in the coming years.
Looking at the online advertising industry from a macro-perspective, it is currently a rather lucrative space. As per PWC's findings, the global Internet advertising revenue will reach $260.4 billion by the year 2020, and will see a surge in growth at an estimated 11.1% CAGR. This boost in online advertising growth will have Mobile advertising as one of its key drivers for the period, while the Internet will still continue to dominate. Companies operating in the online advertising space are keen to derive maximum benefit from this growing industry, and we could, no doubt, expect online advertising to make a significant impact on our shopping habits, through the year 2020 at least.
Global spending on digital advertising is also something to closely keep an eye on, with forecasts estimating a whopping 335.48 billion USD spent in 2020, on digital advertising alone. Television advertising is still the most sought after, but with a projected growth of over 13% in internet advertising spendings for the year 2017, it seems clear that the digital space is taking over as the preferred medium for advertisement. Further, mobile internet advertising, which is a growing sub-sector of the industry, is forecast to have an estimated $247 billion in spending by the year 2020. Video and paid search will be key growth drivers in this mobile advertising sub-sector.
Google, with over 40% of the US market share in digital advertising, may not see Amazon's stealthy entry into its territory as a threat yet, but it would be unwise to rule the company out as a threat altogether as well. Despite its comparatively minuscule advertising revenues in the digital space, Amazon managed a $1.2 billion net advertising revenue in the year 2015, which really stood out against the company's low margin sales revenues from its e-commerce. The revenues that Amazon could generate from a profitable online advertising model will also contribute significantly to its bottom line in the long-term. Of course, competition is going to be pretty fierce, with Google continually innovating on newer ways to retain and grow its existing market share, and Facebook harnessing the power of video in drawing in and engaging more audiences. Will Amazon's behind the scenes efforts at making a significant impact, in an industry heavily dominated by two of the biggest tech giants, play out right for the company? I suppose we will find out soon enough.

28-year-old mayor launches basic income policy distributing $500 monthly stipends to low income residents

28-year-old Mayor of Stockton, California Micheal Tubbs has launched a basic income policy that distributes $500 monthly stipends to low-income residents. According to Tubbs, the program could be considered a solution to poverty in the city.
Tubbs was elected mayor of Stockton in 2017 making him one of the youngest mayors in the U.S.. Two months ago, the policy launched a contemporary basic income policy with aim to help the city's poverty issues.
Since February, Stockton has given out $500 in monthly stipends to its 130 residents living at or below the city's median income line (around $46,000 annually) through the policy. The trial is set to last for 18 months and the stipends are provided through the mail in the form of debit cards.
The program hopes to help lift families out of poverty, however, some critics are saying it will only discourage people to find jobs. Although, Tubbs said the policy has already showed signs of success within the two months since it was launched. Back in 2012, Stockton declared bankruptcy, the first city in the U.S. to do so.
"I came into doing the pilot without a fully formed perspective — or as fully formed as it is now — but really more out of curiosity," Tubbs told Business Insider. "If this was a solution that could work, I wanted to test it out."
Tubbs said most people who are receiving the stipend to pay their gas and electric bills, get their cars fixed, and take their children to the movies.
"I was very excited to see it already working and making a difference in so many people's lives," he said. "I'm now much more resolute in this idea that, if it's not a panacea… it should be considered as one of the many solutions to ensure that people have an economic floor."

Most people are convinced that art is a large mirror facing the world or the universe. It can idealize, can be crooked, it can create grotesque figures and absurd situations, it can be a reality or a dream, it can play with the world of entities or offer it its phantasmagoria. But it happens that the artist seeks just Himself, touching associatively human or national problems, principles or delusions.
In this regard, the Krasnodar artist Irina Abramova hasn't been in step with the contemporary art mainstream for already 20 years, she is not included in any of today's South-Russian parties. Personal, unmediated touch to still undiscovered laws of the universe, to the things that hasn't had a name yet, - this is very important for her.
Her work - is RE-action on public commodification of the world and the transformation of man into an appendage of the various automated systems. Perhaps it is also unconscious action on freudianism, marxism, technocratic globalism, the cult of cars, capitalism, socialism, nationalism or tolerance. Because it's difficult to find a place for a human soul among all these information flows. Moreover, for a female soul.

Keeping History — In Lower Manhattan
My LM
Have you been to the Museum of Jewish Heritage lately? Most visitors head to the museum's core exhibition which focuses on Jewish heritage from the 20th century. It's a wonderful collection, but last time I was there I skipped the core (shhhh, don't tell my professors!) and took the elevators to the third floor. A few months ago the museum opened their Keeping History Center –- a space that is vastly different from the rest of the museum. As I walked down a long hallway I was greeted by a staff member who handed me an iPod touch accompanied by a huge set of noise-reducing headphones. Although I was wondering why the museum would trust me with such precious cargo, I certainly wasn't complaining.
I am, admittedly, technologically challenged in comparison to the rest of my generation and was a bit confused by the iPod. I put on the headphones and thankfully a recording gave me a brief tutorial on how to approach the Keeping History Center. I didn't have to touch a single button! The center allows you to wander around the room while listening to the experiences of those who have immigrated to the United States during the last 60 years. Some of the stories are humorous -– a Czechoslovakian immigrant who came to the United States in 1946 talks about being the biggest Brooklyn Dodgers fan in the country, while some are incredibly emotional –- a young woman from Rwanda describes the difficulty of her journey and her fears of learning to adapt in a new country.
The room is surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows that face the southern tip of Manhattan. As I stared out at the breathtaking view of the Statue of Liberty I found myself mesmerized by these stories. As a first generation American, I felt as if I had been transported back to my grandmother's dinner table listening to my own family members tell me stories about their journey to America in the 1960s.
The center is incredibly interactive and encourages visitors to leave their own stories about arriving in America for the first time. The stories are then posted on the museum's Web site and are periodically transferred to the center's iPods for future visitors to read.
The Museum of Jewish Heritage has combined history, memory and technology into an amazing interactive exhibit that tells us the story of the everyday American. Next time you are near the New York Harbor be sure to stop into the Museum of Jewish Heritage. The Keeping History Center is included in your museum admission and best of all, they offer free hours every Wednesday from 4pm–8pm. I hope to be reading about your story next time I visit!

Analatom and Applied Research Laboratory Penn State University proposes to apply modern concepts from simulation, corrosion modeling, control theory along with Prognostics Health Management (PHM) in the development of an end-to-end, prognostics-based Additive Manufacturing (AM) materials assessment architecture. The project team will consider four potential levels of implementation that includes molecular dynamics simulation of material corrosion and cracking defects, AM advanced statistical process control and monitoring, enhancing end-use items with corrosion, strain sensors and operational environment assessment techniques. Selection of appropriate applied levels architecture will be dependent on the desired target application. Emphasis will be placed on developing a flexible computational framework that incrementally learns optimal parameters and discerns parameter sets that lead to degradation profiles.<br>During Phase I we will develop an approach for a Reliability-Centered AM Computational Design Framework (RCAM CDF) focused on selective laser melt (SLM) AM processes for metallic components. This design framework will initially include minimum part geometry for a load bearing coupon structure, with defect types and densities induced by design of the AM build fabrication process, followed by laser Computed Tomography (CT) inspection of the components, with subsequent in situ structural monitoring sensors (corrosion, strain) to record the accelerated lifetime and fatigue testing.

You will need a few discs to start. Pick up a few discs at a local sports store, find the nearest park, and enjoy.
Note for playing with children: Because so many of the holes are so long, we usually make a "kid's box" for the boys to shoot from, otherwise they get discouraged.

Raksha Bandhan 2019: Know Why Should We Tie Rakhi And On Which Hand
oi-Renu

Raksha Bandhan: राखी बंधवाने के लाभ, जानें क्यों दाईं कलाई पर ही बांधते हैं राखी | Boldsky
Raksha Bandhan is a festival that is meant to celebrate the powerful bond between a brother and a sister. The sister ties a sacred thread, known as rakhi, around the wrist of her brother. While tying the rakhi, she prays for a long and healthy life for her brother; it is a ritualistic way of ensuring a safe and happy life for her brother. It is believed that the rakhi works as a kavach (armour), which means that it offers a defensive mechanism powered by the blessings of a sister to protect her brother. This year, in 2019, raksha bandhan is on 15th August.
Rakha Bandhan 2019
Raksha Bandhan falls on the Purnima of the Shravana month as per the Hindu calendar. According to Hindu scriptures and texts, is believed that there is a muhurta (auspicious time) to tie a rakhi. There are rules regarding on which hand the rakhi should be tied.
On Which Hand Should We Tie The Rakhi?
According to some ancient religious texts, there is a correct way of performing every ritual. These rules say that the rakhi should be tied on the right wrist only.
The right part of the body is believed to show us the right path. It has more ability to control the body and the mind; whereas, using the left hand is considered inauspicious for every ritual. That's why the rakhi should actually be tied by the sister with her right hand and on the right hand of her brother.

Rakhi Gift Ideas As Per Rashi
Why Do We Tie A Rakhi On The Wrist?
On the day of raksha bandhan, the sisters decorate the rakhi trays and include various sacred items on it. She first puts a tilak on his forehead, then performs the aarti before him. After the tying of the rakhi, the sister hands a coconut to he brother. The brother then blesses the sister and also give her money so that she can get a gift of her choice.
But, have you ever wondered why the rakhi is actually tied? Besides, the ancient religious texts and scriptures that tells us the significance behind the celebration of this day, there are spiritual, Ayurvedic as well as psychological reasons for this ritual too.
Some believed that the festival of Rakhi was actually started when the king Mahabali had made Lord Vishnu promise that he would stay with him in the Patal Loka (Netherworld). Goddess Lakshmi was worried as to who would look after the Prithvi Loka (the Earth) and when Lord Vishnu would be there.
So Goddess Lakshmi went to Maabali's Palace in the Patal Loka, convinced him to become her brother and tied a rakhi around his wrist. In return for this, the goddess asked for Lord Vishnu to be relieved of his promise and sent back to his abode in Vaikuntha.
Spirituality says tying the rakhi on this wrist brings the blessings of Lord Vishnu, Lord Shiva and Lord Brahma. Besides this, Goddess Durga also gives emotional and material strength along with knowledge to her brother.
Shubh Muhurta To Tie The Rakhi
Ayurveda says that the thread tied on the wrist regulates the Pitta and Kafffa. Pitta and Kaffa are two of the three elements of the body as per Ayurveda. Pitta and Kaffa constitute the fire, water and earth elements of the body. When these get regulated, the overall health remains good.
Similarly, the person feels more confident and secure, knowing that a thread of protection and love is tied around the wrist.

Federal High Court on Thursday affirmed Senator Ali Modu-Sheriff, a former Governor of Borno State, as the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Justice Okon Abang declared Sheriff the PDP National Chairman based on a motion before him by Sheriff and other members of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party, which had been pronounced dissolved at the National Convention of the party in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
The National Convention also appointed Senator Ahmed Makarfi, a former Governor of Kaduna State, to head an Interim National Committee to lead the party.
But Justice Abang said on Thursday that since two court orders in Lagos and Abuja affirming Sheriff as National Chairman were still subsisting before another faction rushed to Port-Harcourt to get another order of the Court to back the convention that produced Makarfi, it could not stand.
