Elections are considered as cardinal and indispensable in the practice of modern democracy. According to Nnoli (2016), election is closely tied to the growth and development of democratic political order that is generally held to be the single most important indicator of the presence or absence of democratic government". Elections if properly organized, devoid of rigging and all forms electoral manipulations and malpractices do not only establish and entrench democracy, but confers legitimacy on the leadership that emerged from the process, the political institutions, polices and programmes that accompany such administration. Election has been defined as the manner of choice agreed upon by people out of many to occupy one or a number of positions of authority (Nnoli, 2016). Elections have always been the legitimate way of transferring power from one regime to another through ballot box. Through election, popular conduct and participation in public affairs is created in the society, Ugoh (2015). The current global emphasis on democratisation has made election an inevitable process of leadership choice and succession. Obviously, the success of every conditional democracy is tied to the integrity of electoral process while the quality of a representative government is also lived to the capacity of state to evolve viable, transparent, and trusted electoral machinery that will inspire the interest and confidence of broad spectrum of civil society and contending factions of political society (Okolie, 2007).
According to Olusola, Olalekan, Olokor and Olaleye (2019), the Independent National Electoral Commission raised the alarm that the ongoing strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities would affect its preparations for the 2019 elections. ASUU had on November 5, 2018 begun an indefinite strike over the failure of the Federal Government to implement three areas in the Memorandum of Action it signed with the union on September 14, 2017. The lecturers' grouse with the Federal Government included its failure to carry out the Forensic Audit of the earned academic allowances of the lecturers since 2017 and the payment of N20bn out of an agreed N220bn annually and underfunding of the public universities. ASUU started the ongoing strike on November 5, its National President, Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi, said all entreaties made to the Federal Government to honour the agreement with the union fell on deaf ears and they had no alternative but to begin the strike. It was noted that the government was not interested in public universities as the children of the top politicians and rich men in the society patronise private universities at the detriment of public institutions. Both sides have met four times without resolving the crisis, thus forcing students of public universities, who constitute the majority of INEC ad hoc staff during elections to stay at home (Olusola, Olalekan, Olokor and Olaleye, 2019).
According to Igbuzor (2018), a National Commissioner for INEC and Chairman of its Information and other Education Committee, Festus Okoye, expressed concerns about the effect of the ASUU strike on the 2019 elections during the opening of a one-day seminar on media gender sensitive reporting. The event, which was organised by INEC, was supported by the United Nations Women and the Canadian Government. The commission said that it would deploy over one million ad hoc staff made up of lecturers in federal tertiary institutions, members of the National Youth Service Corps and students of federal tertiary institutions in the elections. The categories of ad hoc staff to be used during next year's elections would serve as Returning Officers, Collation Officers, Supervisory Presiding Officers, and Assistant Presiding Officers (Igbuzor, 2018). Okoye as stated in Igbuzor (2018), expressed fear that the elections could be impacted negatively if the strike was not urgently called off. He said, the lingering strike by ASUU will no doubt have serious impact on the preparations for the conduct of the 2019 elections. We therefore call on ASUU and the Federal Government of Nigeria to quickly and genuinely resolve the lingering impasse that has led to uncertainty in the education sector. "The national interest, the interest of our democracy and the reputation of Nigeria demand the immediate resolution of the issues that led to the strike and we so urge. "It is important that students in federal tertiary institutions should and must be in school at least a month before the February 16 Presidential and National Assembly elections. They are a critical resource and their absence will have adverse effects on the ad hoc requirements of INEC." According to him, INEC believes in the doctrine of not leaving any segment of the Nigerian society behind (Igbuzor, 2018).
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says the lingering strike by Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) will have serious impact on preparations for the conduct of the 2019 general election. Okoye (2018), chairman, information and voter education committee of INEC, made this known at a one-day seminar on media and gender sensitive reporting of elections in Abuja. According to Okoye, it is next to impossible for the members of the National Youth Service Corp (NYSC) to provide all the ad-hoc staff needs and requirements of the commission. Okoye opined that over 70 percent requirement in some states of the federation were drawn from students of federal tertiary institutions. "For the 2019 elections, INEC will recruit and deploy over one million adhoc staff made up of lecturers and students in federal tertiary institutions and corps members," Okoye asserted. "These category of adhoc staff will serve as returning officers, collation officers, supervisory presiding officers and assistant presiding officers. "The bulk of assistant presiding officers will be drawn from students of institutions; INEC is presently organising root training for corps members and wants to begin that with students. "So it is important and imperative that they are in school a month before the election for this to happen." Okoye, therefore, called on ASUU and the federal government to quickly and genuinely resolve the lingering impasse that led to uncertainty in the education sector. Okoye said the resolution of the problems that led to the strike would be in the national interest and Nigeria's democracy (Okoye, 2018).
The general objective of this study is to examine the impact of ASUU strike on 2019 general elections.
To examine the impact of asuu strike on 2019 general elections.
To establish the relationship between asuu strike and 2019 general elections.
To examine the nature of Nigeria electoral process.
To proffer ways of ending asuu strike before 2019 general elections in Nigeria.
What is the impact of asuu strike on 2019 general elections?
What is the relationship between asuu strike and 2019 general elections?
What is the nature of Nigeria electoral process?
The importance of this study is to contribute to the advancement of knowledge on the impact of asuu strike on 2019 general elections in Nigeria. Its findings would enable appropriate government agencies to appreciate the relevance of asuu in the general elections. Additionally, it would serve as a suggestive solution to the problems affecting Asuu in participating in the general elections. It is hoped that the study will add to existing literatures and body of knowledge on the impact of asuu strike on the general elections. Additionally, this research work would provide material for future studies on this topic.
The asuu strike during elections period was a source of concern to Nigerians as it determines the quality of political leadership. This study will look at the impact of asuu strike on 2019 general elections in Nigeria. Similarly, it will examine Nigeria's electoral process and establish the relationship between asuu strike and 2019 general elections.
This study had some limitations. The major limitation of this study is the use of data generated only from the 2019 general elections. Also, in the course of data gathering it was observed that some few respondents introduced some elements of bias, falsehood and emotions into their responses which gave some extra ordinary results in few isolated cases.

UNDER CORPORATE SKIES - Written by Famous African-American Poet Al Young… Send this poem to a friend... "African-American Poets"
life spins: a spidering website.
How long can we put truth in jail?
where dividends burn up, lives go out.


When building an extension or a new build, time is crucial. Nobody likes living on a building site and the British weather is highly unreliable which can easily hold a project up.
We have invested a lot of time and money into perfecting our use of timber frames in building projects, meaning we can rapidly progress a project by erecting a timber frame.
We have used timber frames in projects of all sizes, from domestic extensions to the construction of a large nursery. Once the frame is up, we can secure the new build from the elements, allowing the indoor work to progress quickly while the outdoor work is being done.
This method has seen us turn around building projects in a quick time frame, keeping costs down and our customers happy. We will happily show you some examples of our timber frame work to help you understand how it works.
Our quotations are free and we don't hassle you afterwards. It's entirely up to you if you want to proceed with the project.


Anyone who has been to a Ryerson hockey game in recent years knows — the Mattamy Athletic Centre (MAC) is a high quality arena. Not only do the Rams get to play under the historic dome of the Maple Leaf Gardens, but the upgraded facilities are borderline professional.
But the MAC is still relatively new, only opening in September 2012. Before that, the Rams played at George Bell Arena, a tiny rink so far down St. Clair West that the streetcar turns around before reaching it.
Most current Ryerson players never got to experience the daily trek out to George Bell and the remaining ones who did are graduating this year. So, do any of them miss it?
The quickest way to get to George Bell from Ryerson is to take the subway to Runnymede Station, then the 71 bus north 11 stops to the rink. Google Maps estimates the journey at 40 minutes but the players always gave themselves at least an hour in case of delays.
The long trek meant fans rarely showed up for games. The men's team made the playoffs only twice in the six seasons played at George Bell, giving fans even less of a reason to go watch.
The women's hockey team had its first OUA season in 2011-12, meaning the program had only one year at George Bell.
Women's team captain Jessica Hartwick remembers the dressing rooms being small, with the players having to share stalls when getting dressed. She said players would take turns tying skates so they wouldn't bump against one another.
"It was tiny, probably the size of our showers (at the MAC)," Hartwick said.
More than once there were mice in the dressing rooms. But according to forward Melissa Wronzberg, that wasn't as scary as "Narnia." Inspired by C.S. Lewis' children book series The Chronicles of Narnia, Narnia was what the women's team called Runnymede Park, which surrounds George Bell and was a scary place at night.
Luckily another passenger was able to get the man away from them, but the players remained cautious when near the rink, especially late at night.
Being so far away from campus meant the hockey players didn't interact much with the rest of the varsity athletes. The players all said they enjoyed making friends with the basketball and volleyball teams now that they share the MAC.
Passingham said when he was being recruited, head coach Graham Wise assured him the MAC was going to open soon and the experience would get better. But Passingham and his fellow graduates can say they experienced something their other teammates never got to. And they can put those teammates in their place if they ever complain about the MAC's facilities.

Key Considerations for Buying a Hunting Knife
Mar 11, 2019 Posted by: Bryan Horn
A hunting knife is essential for the outdoor lifestyle. In fact, you may have several knives dedicated to hunting tasks, ranging from field dressing to deboning. If you're going to carry one knife around, though, you want a style that's ideal for the main tasks.
Choosing a hunting knife is a personal endeavor since it has to do the target task while also feeling right in your hand. Below are some important considerations for when you're looking at hunting knives.
Fixed or Folding Blade
One of the first questions you'll ask yourself is how involved your hunting will be. If you're a casual hunter, your knife needs aren't as great as those of the more dedicated hunter.
For the casual hunter, a folding blade is a good investment. Typically, folding blade knives work for a variety of purposes. What's more, they're more compact, making them easy to carry in your pocket — you don't need a special sheath. That said, make sure the locking mechanism of the knife is solid. The blade must remain stationary while you're working.
If you're a more avid hunter, a fixed blade is the better option. They typically can handle more heavy-duty jobs. Naturally, fixed-blade knives aren't as compact as folding blades. Indeed, you'll need a sheath to carry the knife. Nonetheless, a solid, fixed-blade knife will be up to any hunting task you use it for.
Shape of the Blade
While you have many options in blade shapes, you'll typically choose one of three.
The drop-point blade features a convex back. When you look at the knife, you see the gentle curve of the overall knife made by the point in the front dropping. These knives work especially well for cleaning and skinning. Indeed, the purpose of the dropped point is to reduce the instances of puncturing the hide while working.
The shape of a clip-point knife is straighter than a drop-point. However, halfway up the blade comes a concave back that ends in a fine point. You can use a clip-point blade for most hunting and camping chores.
The skinner blade is a specialized shape. The blade curves up from the handle a little like a small scimitar. The purpose of the shape is to skin big game animals quickly. That said, you can use these blades for other hunting chores as well. If you want one that's especially good at skinning, look for a blade with a short, thin shape. You also want the blade to be smooth, not serrated.
Texture of the Handle
Field dressing is a messy business. The last thing you want to be doing is fighting to hold onto your knife — a hunting knife should be sharp, and you don't want to risk an accident if it slips. Therefore, the texture of the handle is just as important as the shape. Concerning shape, though, you do want the handle to feature thumb or finger stops for safety.
The material for hunting knives ranges from manufactured materials such as fiberglass composite and steel to natural materials such as bone or wood. What's essential for utility is the texture. The handle must provide a non-slip texture that's easy to keep a hold of. Look for rougher textures as these will keep their grip while you're working.
Another matter to consider when choosing the texture of the handle is how it will feel. Generally speaking, the natural materials feel better in your hand, especially in the cold weather. Metal will feel cold. Synthetic handles can also feel warm even in cold weather.
A hunting knife is an important part of your overall outdoor gear. Choose a hunting knife that meets your needs and outdoor lifestyle. Over Under Clothing can provide the gear to preserve your sporting lifestyle.

Beleaguered daytime talk show hostess Wendy Williams has finally addressed her lengthy absence from her show, and it's not at all what we were led to believe at the time.
If you'll recall, Williams disappeared, suddenly, from her popular afternoon talk fest since December 2018.
According to Fox News, "Williams had been absent from her show for the bulk of early 2019. She initially cited complications from Graves' disease for her hiatus."
Then there was speculation that her marital woes were also taking their toll on her. She denied rumors at the time of her husband's infidelity, claiming that she would 'stand by her guy.' But, insiders say that, privately, she was hit hard by the rumors.
After a particularly sub-par show in late December, Wendy addressed her performance on Instagram, apologizing to her fans and promising a 'better Wendy' in 2019.
She then went on to explain that she is not a fan of painkillers, but relented and took some that day. And that affected her demeanor.
"I did that to power through and try to deliver a great show for you, against the better judgment of the many people around me who genuinely care for my well-being.
But the two weeks turned into two months, with postponement after postponement disappointing her eagerly-awaiting fans. Then came the February 21st announcement on Instagram, proclaiming March 4th as the date of her return.
Unfortunately, by this time, many people were skeptical, taking the good news with a grain of salt.
When she finally made her long-awaited return on March 4th, Wendy straight-up addressed the truth about where she'd been. And it wasn't just to rest her injured shoulder.
Then, she opened up about what her life had been like "for some time now." She has been, in reality, receiving treatment for drug addiction.
"You know me for being a very open and honest person. You know Kevin and I have the Hunter Foundation for the good of the people and we recently launched out 888-HUNTER number for people who are in the struggle of addiction.
"Well, for some time now, and even today and beyond, I have been living in a sober house," Williams tearfully told the audience.
She addressed her history with cocaine addiction for which she says she never received treatment. She said it was past time to take on her struggle.
Williams revealed that she goes to a sober living house every day after she is finished with work and other personal obligations, and remains there until morning. She said she still manages to live a "glamorous" life in spite of her challenges.
"After I go to the Pilates I go to several meetings all around town in the tri-state area, and I see my brothers and sisters caught up in their addiction and looking for help," she said.
Williams said that no one except her husband and son knew the truth. Not even members of her family.
We wish Wendy the very best of success in her program. Please join us in praying for her as she continues to battle her demons.


Ardh Kumbh Mela is a holy gathering. The sacred assembly of devotees happens every 6 years at the holy places which are believed to have been blessed by drops of Amrit (elixir). The festival means Kumbh (pot) and Mela (gathering). Kumbh Mela is the largest gathering of Hindu devotees in India. All the believers take bath in the holy waters of River Ganga at Haridwar; confluence of Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswati at Dev Prayag; River Shipra at Ujjain and River Godavari at Nashik. Attendees of the Mela are from all walks of life. The rich, the poor, the sadhus and every bather is purified with the blessed waters. During this time, bathing in the blessed waters of River Ganga is considered the attainment of divinity.
According to Hindu Mythology, there were continuous wars between Devas and Asuras. To stop the endless fights, both the involved parties came to a conclusion that they instead of fighting should come together and churn the milky ocean. The spills would be divided equally. The churning of the sea gave numerous gifts and also the deadly poison (halahal) which was drunk by Lord Mahadev. The churning continued till Elixir was obtained. To save the elixir from the hands of Asuras, Devas hid the pot. The search for Amrit continued for 12 days and 12 nights. 1 day for the divine beings were equal to 12 human years. In this chase, a few drops fell on earth and now at these four places, the Kumbh Mela is conducted. Every 12 year a holy gathering takes place to attain blessings in the places sanctified by elixir. Ardh means half so this gathering happens every 6 years.
Ardh Kumbh Mela is to be organized in Haridwar. During the holy gathering devotees will take a dip in the river Ganga. Due to the astronomical positions of the sun and other grahas (astrological figures), it is believed the waters at these places are charged with divine powers. Bhajans, kirtans, chanting of hymns also takes place on the river ghats. People offer prayers and perform pujas to appease the Gods.
Haridwar is well connected by roads. The city can be accessed from Delhi (210 Km), Dehradun (90 km) and many important cities.
Haridwar Railway Station is the nearest railhead and well connected with major train stations of India.
Jolly Grant Airport in Dehradun is the closet airport to reach Kumb Mela Haridwar, It is just 90 kilometers away from Haridwar city.

Without three starters, Ateneo head coach Oliver Almadro will rely on his bench troop of rookies against the Cool Smashers later today at the Baliwag Star Arena.
Expected to step up are Erika Raagas and Jules Samonte.
The Lady Eagles are currently situated in a tie in first place with a 5-1 slate. Creamline and Banko-Perlas also hold the same record.

Sari Simorangkir (born March 31) is an Indonesian contemporary Christian music singer and songwriter. She is commonly called "Sari". She is best known as one of the True Worshippers vocalists. Gifted with enormous singing talent, Sari has released many solo albums and many other records with various different artists. Her songs have become anthems of worship in churches nationwide.

Sari has been influenced by Michael W. Smith, Crystal Lewis, Yolanda Adams, and secular singers such as Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Lydia Imaniar, and Sting. Even though she loves R&B, soul, and blues, Sari realizes that pop suits her best.

Biography

Early life
Sari Simorangkir was born in Semarang to Batak parents D.N. Simorangkir and Tiur Ida Simanjuntak. As her father worked at Pertamina, Sari was raised in five different cities in Indonesia, including Semarang, Makassar, and finally Jakarta, where she finished her high school education. She has two siblings Fredrick and Sammy.

She began to sing in 1990 when she was in senior high school. She was encouraged by her parents to take part in singing contests such as Cipta Pesona Bintang and Asia Bagus. Though she did not win, she became very motivated to sing.

Voice of Generation
About two years later Sari and her colleagues created a music band named Ezra. In 1992 the name was changed to VOG, Voice of Galilea, before it changed again to Voice of Generation when they made their second album, Tutur kata. She was one of the band's vocalists, along with Viona Paays, Franky Sihombing (who also played bass guitar), and later Sydney Mohede, when he joined the group on the second album.

In the late 1980s, when the world Christian spiritual music had not evolved to the point it is today, VOG wanted to make more contemporary alternative music for the younger generation of Christians. They made songs that contained positive messages and were universal, and so were liked by all circles. Their first two albums were Kusadari  and Tutur Kata. Their songs appeared on "The Song Chart" of the radio stations in Jakarta.

The VOG formation of the first album, Kusadari, was:
 Franky Sihombing (bassist/vocalist)
 Erwin Badudu (keyboardist)
 Ucok Radjaguguk (keyboardist)
 Amos Cahyadi (drummer)
 Thomas B Handoyo (guitarist)
 Viona Paays (vocalist)
 Sari Simorangkir (vocalist)

The VOG formation of the second album, Tutur Kata]], was:
 Franky Sihombing (bassist/vocalist)
 Ucok Radjaguguk (keyboardist)
 Amos Cahyadi (drummer)
 Thomas B Handoyo (guitarist)
 Viona Paays (vocalist)
 Sari Simorangkir (vocalist)
 Sidney Mohede (vocalist)

Their second album was the last album before they disbanded. In October 2009, VOG held a reunion concert.

True Worshippers / JPCC Worship
In her community named JPCC (Jakarta Praise Community Church) (kind of God's servant community), Sari met acquaintances who would later be part of True Worshippers, such as Sidney Mohede, Ucok Radjaguguk, and Daniel Sigarlaki. She learned many things about singing and song writing from this community. In 1996, they officially established True Worshippers with Mohede (her partner in VOG) as the founder. Sari made a major contribution as lead vocalist, along with Ruth Sahanaya and Sidney Mohede, to this group.

Solo projects
Sari also has solo projects. The first and second albums weren't so successful due to their genre, R&B. Churches considered that R&B music was not suitable to be used as worship anthems in Indonesia. Sari decided to make the third album be more in the pop style. The third and fourth albums successfully sold about 30.000 copies. Sari later knew that pop songs are the easiest to be sung by churches in Indonesia. She also knew that lyrics about human relationships are not considered as anthems of worship in churches. Later, she tended to make songs about the relationship of God and people as His]servants.

As of 2013, she has produced 12 albums.

The title of her fifth album, 31:31, was inspired by her birthday (March 31), her age when she completed this album, and the completion date of this album production (March 31).

Her eighth album, Sari 8, was named in accordance with the order of the album.

Now Sari is busy with her ministry and taking care of her family. She looks forward to releasing more albums with her own style of music, bringing more flavors to Indonesian Christian music. She hopes to have a solo concert. "I hope to see myself in the next five years as a more mature and stronger person, continuing what I've been doing to bless people."

NLSP is greatly saddened by the passing of long-time friend and distinguished NLSP alumna -- The Honorable Patricia M. Wald. Judge Wald will be remembered in the coming days for her prowess as a jurist, a trailblazer and staunch advocate for human rights and for her many decades of service to the legal profession and community. We here remember that in 1968, Judge Wald joined the Neighborhood Legal Services Program as a staff attorney in our Law Reform Unit. During her tenure in the Law Reform Unit, she challenged the court's failure to waive divorce fees for indigent women and led the team that successfully argued before the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit "that financial barrier[s] were effectively an unconstitutional denial of access to the courts." Washington Post Obituary of Judge Wald. Today, that case, Harris v. Harris; 424 F.2d 806 (D.C. Cir. 1970), remains a staple of every legal services lawyer's litigation reference book regarding in forma pauperis eligibility.
Beyond her days at NLSP, Judge Wald served in many notable positions – Assistant Attorney General (under the Carter Administration),; Judge, U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit (appointed in 1979),; Chief Judge, U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit (1986-1991), and the US Judge for the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (1999 – 2002) - just to name a few. She also received countless awards and accolades for her work. In 2013, she was awarded the country's highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, by President Barack Obama. Judge Wald remained a strong supporter and proud alum of NLSP throughout the years. Her enduring, indomitable spirit will be sorely missed by all - especially those of us in the legal services community.
Here are some of Judge Wald's own words on the subject of the role of legal services attorneys and civil legal aid.
If you have recollections or tributes you would like to share of Judge Wald either from her time on the DC Circuit or from her time at NLSP please click here to email them to NLSP. We would be happy to post some of your stories of Judge Wald's impact on our community.


Jack the Ripper is an alias given to an unidentified serial killer active in the largely impoverished Whitechapel area and adjacent districts of London, England, in the autumn of 1888. The name originated in a letter sent to the London Central News Agency by someone claiming to be the murderer. The victims were women allegedly earning income as prostitutes, who were killed in public or semi-public places at night or in the early morning. Each victim's throat was cut, after which her body was mutilated. Theories suggest that the victims first were strangled, in order to silence them, which may explain the reported lack of blood at the crime scenes. The removal of internal organs from three of the victims led some officials at the time of the murders to propose that the killer possessed anatomical or surgical knowledge. Newspapers, whose circulation had been growing during this era, bestowed widespread and enduring notoriety on the killer because of the attacks' savagery and the police's failure to capture the murderer (they sometimes missed him at the crime scenes by mere minutes). Because the killer's identity has never been confirmed, the legends surrounding the murders have become a combination of genuine historical research, folklore, and pseudohistory. Many authors, historians, and amateur detectives have proposed theories about the identity of the killer and his victims.
In 1888, the world's most famous serial killer stalked the dark, grimy streets of London's East End. 'Jack the Ripper' was the original celebrity mass-murderer, and set a trend for homicidal maniacs which seems to grow with each year. The fear surrounding the recent Washington sniper incidents, for example, has many similarities with the terror created by this forefather of deathdealing criminals. In these types of cases, the impact of the crime is heightened by the mystery surrounding the actual killer's identity. Unlike many of his modern age copyists, Jack the Ripper was not caught or even named, and to this day it has never been conclusively proven who he really was. London's Whitechapel district was known as one of the poorest areas of the city, and at the time, was home to over a thousand prostitutes. It was also the area which would become the focus of the Ripper's attacks.
His reign of terror officially began in the opening hours of 31st August 1888, when a market porter spotted a woman lying in a doorway on Buck's Row in Whitechapel. Rather than approach the woman, the porter went to find the beat policeman. When he arrived, he found the woman's throat had been deeply cut and a medical examination later revealed her body had been mutilated. Her identity was also discovered: she was Mary Ann Nichols, known as Polly, a 42-year-old prostitute. Barely a week later, at 6am on 8th September, the body of another woman was found in Hanbury Street, near Buck's Row. She was Annie Chapman, a 45-year-old prostitute whose head had been almost entirely severed from her neck; she had also been disembowelled. Fear was beginning to spread throughout the community. For the first time in history, the people had a literate public and a scrutinising press, who were putting the police under a new sort of pressure.
Not only were the police there to protect the people of London, they also had to cope with the novel stress of proving their own competence. Just as in modern mass murder cases, the effect of supposition, myths and rumours in newspaper coverage led to a great deal of anxiety. By the time the Ripper struck again, the Whitechapel area was interested in only one thing. The Ripper did not disappoint. In the dark early hours of 30th September a costume jewellery salesman arrived home in Berners Street, where he discovered the body of Elizabeth Stride, a prostitute who had had her throat slit. As police rushed to the scene and searched the nearby streets, the Ripper made off to Mitre Square, in the City of London, and killed Catharine Eddowes. Although the earlier victim had not been mutilated, many believe the Ripper had been interrupted during this procedure. Eddowes' remains were not so well preserved and she was found disembowelled. This night become known as the 'double event', and was the focus of many letters sent into the police.
Although most came from members of the public offering advice, some purported to come from the Ripper himself and were given more credence than others. One dated 28th September goaded and teased the police, and was the origin of the name Jack the Ripper, which was how the sender signed off. The second was a postcard dated 1st October and referred to the 'double event' of the night before. The third letter was posted a fortnight later and even included a section of a kidney allegedly removed from Catharine Eddowes. Although the police, as in modern times, had to suspect that these correspondences came from a crank or a hoaxer, the kidney included in the third letter was shrivelled and diseased. An interesting fact is that not only was Eddowes an alcoholic, she also suffered from Bright's disease, and this organ displayed all the signs of being from such an afflicted body.
The police believed they had discovered a pattern to the killings the first occurred on 31st August, the second on 8th September, the third and fourth on 30th September. They believed the next would happen on the 8th of October, but in fact the Ripper did not strike for the whole of that month. His final official murder actually occurred on 9th November in Miller's Court, a building close to where the other killings had taken place. Another prostitute, 24-year-old Mary Jane Kelly was found by her landlord with her body utterly mutilated. This time, the murder had taken place inside, and the killer had had all night to dissect the corpse. Although these five murders are all assigned to the Ripper, there is the possibility he may have killed two or three more woman in London around that time.

State Robbing Highway Fund To Subsidize "In God We Trust" Plates
AFA'S MICAH CLARK CALLS IT HIS PROUDEST ACCOMPLISHMENT
Bowing to pressure from religious right organizations such as the American Family Association and Advance America, the legislature and Governor Daniels last year approved legislation authored by Rep. Woody Burton (R-Greenwood) designating a new special plate emblazoned with the logo "In God We Trust." What made this plate different than other special license plates, however, was the absence of any special fee to offset the BMV's $3.59 per plate expense for producing the license plates. As AI previously reported, the "In God We Trust" plate is being offered as a standard license plate to BMV customers, along with the state's designated standard license plate. As a consequence, the state has issued nearly 400,000 of them since January. A Fort Wayne area blog, Left In Aboite, notes the cost to the state's highway fund has already approached $1.5 million. Quoting a Terre Haute Tribune-Star article, the blog writes:
Since the new "In God we trust" plates became available Jan. 1, nearly 400,000 have been requested and issued around Indiana, said Greg Cook, communications director for the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles. That means more than one in four vehicles eligible for the new plates have received one, Cook said.
A new state law that passed overwhelmingly in the Indiana General Assembly last year called on the BMV to issue the new plates beginning this year and to make them available to passenger vehicles, trucks with a gross weight of 11,000 pounds or less and recreational vehicles.
The law, authored by Rep. Woody Burton, R-Greenwood, also requires that the "In God we trust" plates be offered to Hoosier motorists at no additional charge compared with the standard Indiana plate.
In fact, the BMV is absorbing a cost of $3.69 for each plate ordered, according to a report in the Gary Post-Tribune.
The money needed to cover the cost is coming out of the Indiana Highway Fund, Cook said.
"It's more of an alternative standard plate," Cook said.Nearly $1.5 million dollars later, the BMV appears ready to admit there is nothing special about these new plates, and they aren't treating them any differently than the standard state offering.
How can you have something that you consider an alternative to the standard plate design, and yet still assert with a straight face that you don't treat the two as the same? All reports seem to indicate that the two are offered together, or in some cases, the new plate is being offered first and foremost.
If the trend continues, the state's highway fund could be hit to the tune of $6 million this year alone. That means less money to pay for the state's roads. The BMV is already scheduled to invest $12-$17 million in the issuance of a new regular state license plate next year.
If that isn't enough to anger you, this will be. The American Family Association's Micah Clark boasts at his organization's website that the "In God We Trust" license plate is one of his "proudest accomplishments", and that he was allowed by the BMV to participate in the design of the plate. Clark writes:
It's hard to believe now that it took several years of legislative battles and overcoming some alleged controversy raised by groups like the Indiana Civil Liberties Union to create the new "In God We Trust" specialty license plate.
The plate is one of my proudest accomplishments over the last fifteen years in the State House as I was fortunate to be a part of the design meetings because of AFA's strong support for Representative Woody Burton's license plate legislation year after year. When the design was chosen, the BMV ordered an ambitious 500,000 plates based upon an unexpectedly high number of people who voted on the on-line poll choosing between four possible designs.
It looks like the bureau will have to order more. Just three months after it became available the BMV has reported that around 400,000 national motto plates have already been given to motorists requesting them! The plates are available upon request and do not cost any additional fee. As far as we know, Indiana is the only state with a specialty license plate with our nation's motto.
There's a bit of irony in the BMV allowing Clark to participate in designing this new license plate. Observant AI readers will recall Clark was one of the most vocal critics of Governor Mitch Daniels' EEO policy for state employees because it prohibited discrimination against persons based on their sexual orientation or gender identity. Clark mounted an e-mail campaign to the Governor seeking the repeal of the policy. Clark said Daniel's policy "gives special rights to homosexuals and cross-dressers." He also falsely and hatefully asserted that "policies like this could eventually force churches to hire homosexuals and cross-dressers and damage our free speech rights by outlawing people to speak out against sins like homosexuality." The effort angered Daniels, who ousted Clark from his education round table, a post he had been appointed to by Daniels' Democratic predecessors. Don't ask me why a Democratic governor would have appointed Clark to anything, let alone something important as education.
Whatever anger Daniels felt towards Clark and others on the religious right, including his 2004 GOP opponent Eric Miller, it is all in the past. This is further evidence of just how far Daniels has gone to appease the religious right and distance himself from any voices of moderation within the Republican Party on social issues to avoid a primary fight next year when he seeks re-election. Daniels has been noticeably silent as the state's leading businesses spoke out against SJR-7. Interestingly, the Indianapolis Business Journal, which is owned by Daniels' former economic development guru Mickey Mauer, editorialized against SJR-7 in this week's edition. The IBJ also ran another well-argued column, "Wedded to the Economics of Intolerance", against the discriminatory amendment written by Baker & Daniels' partner Ronald Gifford.

Sounds like the state needs to charge a small fee to cover the cost of the plate. If they did that, would you folks still be pissed off?
Wilson46201 said...
You anonymous nobodies would still find some way to feel victimized and use it to raise money for your pseudo-Christian organizations!
Yeah. Why isn't the basic cost being covered? Just 3.95 more.
I must say the plate looks good on the back of my Caddy and Jeep, right next to my Dickerson in '08 sticker.
I would put one on the RV if I could.
Maybe Indygo could use the surplus plates. That way Wilson wouldn't be left out.
"I must say the plate looks good on the back of my Caddy and Jeep, right next to my Dickerson in '08 sticker.

So Eric is planning to be another GOP "rape and pillage the environment" candidate? A suck-up to the foreign oil dictatorships? Oh well, we have no polar bears in Indiana ...
How did this thread get hijacked? Wilson, pay attention! Don't play along with the trolls.
4:49, you apparently missed fourth grade history class. In most Indiana schools, that's where they teach the Indiana constitution and state history.
You'd have learned that our state and federal constitutions mirror one another in the establishment of religion clause. A worthy document, and a noble clause.
Because my God is a Christian, I presume this plate is meant for Christians. And if the plate is provided in a manner that differs from other vanity plates, i.e. cost, it amounts to state-sanctioned religion.
Which is unconsitutitional, twice. State and federal.
But with the wanton disregard for Constitutionality lately, it's not hard to see how you missed this blatant attempt to sanction Christianity.
Error forgiven, but, to answer your question, yes, we'd still be angry. And we'd be right.
Theological/political question: wouldn't it be sacrilegious for an observant Jew to use such plates with the word for Ad*n*i spelled out plainly? Wouldn't "In God we trust" be an abomination?
btw, sorry for taking the troll-bait -- sometimes low-hanging fruit is irresistable!
"4:49, you apparently missed fourth grade history class. In most Indiana schools, that's where they teach the Indiana constitution and state history."
Funny thing. I was given copies of these documents, which they said limited the power of government. I then looked and saw how a 40 year old who passed a bad check when they were 18 and became a felon couldn't own a firearm for life. I saw how my taxes went to layabouts, bums, and mopes who pop out kid after kid and live in housing that I help pay for. I saw how my money is taken from me and given to various folks for "research" and "medical stuff." I saw how the government forces large companies to keep date on how many people they hire based on skin color, religion, sex organ, and age as to not get sued for "discrimination." I saw how local schools used 50%+1 to slam taxpayers and get multi-million dollar sporting centers built, which have nothing to do with basic education.
I saw how the government does all these things and came to one conclusion, that these documents no longer mean jack.
Not to nitpick or anything, but all of the above quoted material from the Left in Aboite post actually came from my post on this very same subject last week.
http://www.blueindiana.net/showDiary.do?diaryId=306
Petty? Sure, but I'm ill with the flu and don't have much else to do with my time...
The Plate has more to do with patriotic pride than religion. Get a grip it's about time that Americans showed pride for our country without a couple of our buildings being blown up for a loss of life. If this plate makes us all stop and reflect about our freedom then it was worth the few dollars extra that it cost.
"sorry for taking the troll-bait -- sometimes low-hanging fruit is irresistable!"
So Wilson admits that he to is a troll, will wonders never cease? That's not what you stated at TDW.
As to Dickerson in '08, I can only hope. For your answer Mr. Allen, why don't you ask him? His phone number is known. I understand you shared many conversations with him last election. Those who were supporters know of the information exchange. Wilson does Carson and the party know?
10:30, the "few extra dollars" is exactly the point. If it's you, and others, who perfer this plate, spending the extra dollars, on a par equal to other vanity plates, have at it.
But it's not. It's me. And everyone else.
Which, by any definition, amounts to state endorsement of Christianity.
And regardless what history class you took, regardless what we put on our money, that's Constitutionally forbidden. Thank God.
Please, for the love of my God, leave the blown-up buildings argument out of it. Can't you right wingers ever have an intellegent discourse on civil liberties, without bringing up blown-up buildings? Try to focus.
So, seriously, if there was a fee (even just to cover the cost of the plate) what's the big deal? And Wilson chastising others for playing the victim....now that's rich.
How does the word "God" endorse one religion? I admit that it does endorse religion on the whole (we use money with the saying on it every day, remember, and no one throws a fit). But to say that one religion in general is endorsed, to me, is a little far-fetched, no matter what bigoted, hateful organization thinks that the plate is its' "greatest accomplishment". I'm not against the language on the plate, but I'm sure against it being free - there would be a huge demand for it, even if it cost $20. The money the BMV is losing will just come out of our paychecks somehow, and I don't know about everyone else, but I'd rather have a choice in paying for it directly at the BMV, or being forced to out of my paycheck.
I just don't see how religion figures into that new license plate.
I, like most patriotic American citizens, place money before anything else in life. That was the intent of the In God We Trust plate because that phrase is on our $$ currency.
I like money and that's why I chose the In God We Trust plate to go on my Hummer. Hell, I couldn't tell the difference between a Babtist or a Methodist or a Hindu but I sure as hell know what money looks like. I worship money and that's what I thought Woody was doing when he got these plates approved. A religious issue? Nah, just a chance for Hoosiers to really show what they truly belive in, money. And lots of it!
The Scribe said...
Wilson and Gary, the paranoia you both have towards Christianity lends me to wonder if you have concerns regarding how you'll spend eternity.
Next thing you know, this site will begin advocating for removal of teh term from our coinage.
Hate to be reminded that He exists?
Do all the reminding about whatever deity as you wish -- but why not do it on your dime and your time and not everybody else's?
In the 1600s or so, England and Europe went through horrendous religious civil wars -- our wise Founders desperately wanted to avoid the religious schisms and favoritisms they'd seen wrecking and wracking civilized nations. Believe whatever you wish but dont try to use our common Government to enforce your religious opinions onto others!
Is your God so unknown it needs the Bureau of Motor Vehicles to back it up? Omnipotent? Pshaw!
Wilson finally makes a good point. I often wonder if many of these "shove my Christianity down your throat with the help of the government" types are really worried about their own faith.
Do they really need the BMV to pick up the cost of these plates, or could we have made some real money off it?
Do they need their "version" of a good family / marriage forced on everyone through the Constitution or can they just show us by example?
Do they need a plastic Baby Jesus lit up on the Courthouse square to prove they worship him instead of the almighty Dollar at Christmas?
Do they fear they are becoming the minority? Paranoia is more than a diagnosis.
I see all of this as part and parcel of the same syndrome. "I got mine, I'm saved, You're goin to Hell and I'm gonna help ya."
I wonder what they would do if we slapped DOG over the word God on all those plates? Praise from a dyslexic worshipper.
I forgot! I once heard a Methodist pastor make the best point. He said that Christians should live so that they would be convicted in court, if accused of being a Christian. In other words, live your beliefs and others will follow.
One of the reasons many laws don't work if that you have to change the hearts and minds of the people, or punish them severely and consistently. Think seatbelt laws.
How I spend eternity is between me and God. It should not have the state, or posters here, involved.
He does exist, and I celebrate that fact daily. I know He msiles on this nation, but not preferentially over other nations. My God loves all people, of all faiths and nations.
But my best friend is a Muslim, a college professor and a brilliant addition to the Hoosier economy and landscape. His chosen diety is Allah.
Make no mistake--the word "God" on those plates is Christian. Period.
And no, it should NOT be on our money either...
Don't cast aspersions on my faith because I believe that. I fervently guard the religious part of my life, from the government part of my life. One is necessary (taxes, roads, etc.). The other is my soul.
N'er the twain should meet.
