Mississippi Governor Signs Bill Outlawing Common Abortion Procedure
Apr 15, 2016, 4:56pm

"Governor Bryant just signed a clear attack on women's health care as part of a plan to ban abortion across the board," said Dawn Laguens, executive vice president of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America.

Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant (R), who has said that it is his goal to "end abortion" in the state, signed a bill Friday that criminalizes a medical procedure often used after miscarriages and during second-trimester abortion care.
"We're making Mississippi the safest place in America for an unborn child," Bryant said in a post on Twitter.
HB 519, sponsored by Rep. Sam Mims (R-McComb), would prohibit a physician from performing the dilation and evacuation (D and E) abortion procedure unless it is necessary to "prevent serious health risk" to the pregnant person.
Dawn Laguens, executive vice president of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, said in a statement that the law is not based on medicine.
"Governor Bryant just signed a clear attack on women's health care as part of a plan to ban abortion across the board," Laguens said. "Planned Parenthood will continue to fight to protect the rights of our patients and their access to safe medical care, no matter what."
Similar bills have been introduced this year in several states. The bills are copies of legislation drafted by the anti-choice group known as the National Right to Life Committee (NRLC).
State courts have blocked such measures passed by GOP lawmakers in Oklahoma and Kansas. West Virginia's Republican-led legislature in March voted to override the veto of a similar bill.
The law takes effect on July 1.
CORRECTION: A previous version of this story stated that "federal courts" have blocked D and E bans in Oklahoma and Kansas, but only state courts have blocked such measures. We regret the error.

Avea and Hepa chosen as Warrior co-captains
Posted on October 18, 2022 • Filed under Insider News • 0 Comments
Photo graphic courtesy www.hawaiiathletics.com
Hawai'i's 2022-23 men's basketball team will be led by two players with strong Hawaiian roots. That was made official last Wednesday when seniors Samuta Avea and Kamaka Hepa were named co-captains after a players' vote.
Avea, now in his sixth year in the program (including the bonus COVID year), is from Hau'ula and graduated from Kahuku High School. Hepa grew up in Alaska, but his father is from Hawai'i and he has several relatives in the islands.
"Leadership is a big part of our program, you heard the old cliche, 'You're only as good as your senior leadership,' " UH coach Eran Ganot said, moments after announcing the voting results to the team on Oct. 12. "We've had great leadership over the years, great captains … (Avea and Hepa) have obviously been here, and it's an added advantage when you have some roots here. They're very invested in our program, they've had their fingerprints over our program."
Hepa, who transferred to Hawai'i two summers ago after three years at Texas, was honored with the same role last season as a newcomer along with Princeton transfer Jerome Desrosiers. Avea sat out last season as a medical redshirt, after undergoing back surgery following an opt-out COVID season in 2020-21.
"For Samuta, it's Year 6, and I've always talked about (him as) one of the elite guys in terms of the time he has put into the gym," Ganot said. "It's really impressive for (the other) guys to see someone like that.
"And how impressive was it for Jerome and Kamaka to be voted (co-)captains in their first year with the program? That was a credit to them. In this situation, for Samuta to be voted by his peers as captain, while he's missed time, is a credit to him. You could always go the other way (being injured), but he was engaged on the sideline, he's really good at bringing the team together. Obviously he's invested here, it's important to him."
Hepa impressed Ganot immediately with his leadership skills prior to last season, and has solidified that trust over the past year.
"(In) Kamaka, I think we have one of the elite leaders/captains in the country," Ganot said. "I really believe that, because of the totality — we're talking on the court, off the court, in the classroom, being vocal. Now he's had a year under his belt, playing a significant role, and he's just taken off. So it's a great luxury to have a guy like that …
"Congratulations to those two, we don't take that position lightly, and I don't think they will, either. There's a 24/7 responsibility that comes with that, it's more than what's on the floor. At the same time, they can set the table and show the way it's gonna be for the future leaders who are currently in our program. It's gonna be a shared responsibility, but it will start with those two."
When official practice opened on Sept. 30, both Avea and Hepa spoke about the "hunger" to surpass last season's achievements, which included a third-place finish in the Big West Conference standings and also reaching the semifinals of the league tournament in Henderson, Nev., where the Warriors fell to Cal State Fullerton.
"I still felt the loss in (Las) Vegas the same way they did, in a way," Avea said. "It was a different perspective, but (it) definitely fired me up, for sure … I'm really tired of rehabbing, I'm over rehabbing, I'm past healing and all that. I'm just ready to play."
Last year was a breakthrough year in Hepa's career, finally earning a starting position after mostly riding the bench at Texas. It also left him yearning for more.
"It was big-time, and that's where I think I really had to grow and be comfortable being uncomfortable with the fact that I had to (start)," Hepa said. "Last year was a big step for me in terms of kind of adjusting to it, and I think this year I'll be really able to capitalize on that. Particularly, I really wanted to get my body right, being in elite shape, getting stronger and just being more of an athlete. I really put that in the front of my mind, and then also being somebody that I feel the team can run the offense through, and then just talking with (Ganot), I think we're all on the same page with that."
Off the court, Hepa said personally connecting with his Hawai'i roots has helped to confirm that his decision to transfer from Texas was a solid one.
"It's been tremendous, I mean, this past year of my life has been one of the best years of my life, for sure," Hepa said. "Regardless of all the ups and downs we have had, I think the relationships that I've been able to establish have been great. One, I've been able to get closer (to Hawai'i), and to be able to experience what my dad's life was like growing up, and then also two, to be able to develop a family of my own out here, with my teammates, my coaches and the friends that I've been able to create."

Frustration Growing From Sportsbook Stakeholders Toward Ontario's Regulators
Regulators are finally about to crack down on black-market operations, but there are also many other issues
by Greg Warren
in Industry, Regulation
Disclosure: Sports Handle is owned by Better Collective.
Multiple sources tell Sports Handle the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario is preparing to forbid licensed sports betting companies from doing business with unlicensed entities, and that black-market operators have been warned to get licensed or shutter.
The expected salvo would represent the latest in the AGCO's struggle not only to move former gray-market wagering operators into legal territory, but also to clearly and consistently communicate with operators.
Since the AGCO and iGaming Ontario launched legal platforms in April, former gray-market operators that did get licensed appear to be dominating the legal market while others from that sector continue to offer wagering illegally — and without penalty at present. While black-market operators have been able to offer wagering with no fines or penalties since April, the AGCO has come down hard on licensed operators that have violated the agency's stringent promotional advertising rules.
In fact, rather than warn operators or offer up examples in advance of what constitutes a violation, the AGCO has chosen instead to fine violators and, in at least one case, cut off a company it does not regulate for doing business with a company deemed in violation. The AGCO has fined at least four platforms, and it continues to grapple with how to interpret Ontario's opaque advertising restrictions. Those who were fined could well be only the tip of the iceberg in terms of promotional advertising violations.
Last month, when Sports Handle sent the AGCO questions surrounding the advertising rules, the agency declined in an email response to answer them. The AGCO explained it would not respond to specific questions from Sports Handle for the foreseeable future, because of its parent company's new commercial partnership with Boston Globe Media, which the AGCO contends is in violation of its promotional advertising standards.
The Better Collective-Boston Globe Media (BGM) deal was made on Aug. 23, and the email reply was received by Better Collective from the regulator on Aug. 30. The email points to Action Network, Sports Handle, and Vegas Insider, saying the three have a "contractual relationship" with Boston Globe Media, which in turn is working with "non-compliant" operators, though the email does not identify said operators or which BGM properties are in question. Better Collective properties were immediately cut off from editorial access to the AGCO, according to the email, without a warning or being given a grace period to rectify issues before being cut off. (Editor's Note: the AGCO has not suggested that Better Collective is non-compliant, rather BGM, while Better Collective is operating in good standing.)
The email from the regulator to Sports Handle reads in part:
We have been advised by AGCO Gaming Compliance that the following BGM sites have instances of non-compliant advertising (standard 2.05) by AGCO registered operators which have an identified contractual relationship with the affiliate marketing site. Action Network, Vegas Insider, Sports Handle.
AGCO Gaming Compliance has reached out to AGCO registered operators, and we expect that appropriate changes will happen in a timely way.
In the meantime, while the AGCO does not regulate Better Collective/BGM, we cannot support it with editorial content while it carries non-compliant advertising and promotions. If it would be helpful, we can put your team in touch with an AGCO Gaming Compliance official to explain the examples of non-compliance.
Until then, while we'll be pleased to point you to relevant information that is publicly available on our website, we'll not be in a position to support your editorial content with additional information or perspectives.
Sports Handle had initially inquired why the AGCO implemented policies restricting advertising of bonuses and inducements. The regulator did offer a vague explanation in its reply.
"The Standards were put in place to protect Ontarians. They include clear restrictions on the advertising of inducements, bonuses or credits, except when they are on an operator's site, or through direct advertising and marketing issued after receiving active player consent (Standard 2.05)," the Aug. 30 email stated.
Operators already fined by the AGCO
Although the regulator says it provided "clear restrictions on the advertising of inducements, bonuses, or credits," those "clear restrictions" have clearly been misinterpreted by new operators in the market.
Since the April 4 launch of Ontario's regulated iGaming market, four operators — BetMGM, DraftKings, PointsBet, and Unibet — have been fined a combined $226,000 (CAD) by the AGCO for various violations of its advertising Standards.
AGCO issues $100,000 in monetary penalties to Draft Kings Canada for alleged advertising and inducement infractions: https://t.co/opAh2bt09o
— AGCO (@Ont_AGCO) June 30, 2022
The Standards in question are 2.04 and 2.05 in the advertising guidelines:
Standard 2.04 requires that all operator marketing, advertising, and promotions must be truthful and not mislead players or misrepresent products, including any implication that chances of winning increase the more one spends.
Standard 2.05 states that advertising and marketing materials that communicate gambling inducements, bonuses, and credits are prohibited, except on an operator's gaming site and through direct advertising and marketing after receiving active player consent.
Sports Handle interprets that to mean that an operator may advertise its promotional offers on its own website and via emails, social media, or other means sent directly to a customer who has given his/her permission for those ads to be sent, but not on billboards, social media, television, or other outlets. However, what constitutes advertising an inducement, bonus or credit does not appear to be well defined. Companies are permitted to advertise their services in general, but are not to include promotional offers, which seems to be where issues have cropped up.
"Given the AGCO's refusal to provide specific guidance on what 'inducements' means, operators had no choice but to try to interpret to the best of their abilities," one industry source told Sports Handle. "The amount of operators being fined for advertising material that contained inducements in the first six weeks after the market opened suggests the AGCO should have provided specific words and phrases for operators to avoid. Had they done so, compliance would have been higher and operators wouldn't be trying to second-guess the standard through trial and error."
The regulator did conduct a 90-minute webinar in March prior to launch in an attempt to clarify its advertising standards to prospective operators. Many operators have said the lines of communication were excellent with Ontario's regulators leading up to the launch of the new market. The AGCO doesn't want to take responsibility in advance, however, for deeming which promotional ads are acceptable and which are not.
"Our job isn't to find loopholes and to close the loopholes — our job is to communicate intent and objectives and for the industry to act in a compliant way," Jay Welbourn, senior manager, technology and compliance at the AGCO, said during the webinar. "It's not our objective at all to become an approval body for all the advertisements."
Of course, if the regulator is not the approval body for advertising restrictions, then who is? Confusion has filled the vacuum of uncertainty with individual operators interpreting and managing the Standards around launch time.
In U.S. states, regulators often require operators to submit ads — promotional and otherwise — for approval. Most states have a designated time frame in which the operator must submit promotional ads, and some, including Kansas and West Virginia, require explicit approval for new and revamped ads and promotions.
In Ontario, the AGCO has, in effect, declined to act as an approval body while at the same time has asserted its ability to issue violations.
Over the last few months, the AGCO has tasked suppliers with determining if the operators they are working with are in compliance, and then it has told those suppliers that they should suspend relationships with violators.
"The proposed Standard will create an obligation for operators and suppliers to cease any direct unregulated activities in Ontario, and to end any agreements or arrangements with third parties who are carrying out activities in the unregulated market," an AGCO letter to licensees reads. "The implementation of this proposed Standard may require some applicants to shutter their gaming sites in Ontario until they have satisfied the requirements of both the AGCO and iGaming Ontario."
Acquiring customers more difficult for some
The strict advertising restrictions have forced many operators to take a different marketing approach in Ontario when compared to many U.S. jurisdictions where the open advertising of lucrative sign-up and bonus offers is an effective and well-used customer acquisition tool.
When combined with the fact that formerly gray operators like bet365 and Pinnacle have been taking wagers from Ontarians for several decades already, some of the new entrants to the market believe they're at a disadvantage over existing operators with established Canadian user databases. Both bet365 and Pinnacle have become licensed in Ontario.
A homegrown operator based in Toronto, theScore Bet, had a significant number of users in the province already using its popular sports news app, and many of those new users are transitioning to the sports betting application. All of the operators that had some sort of prior presence in Ontario, then, had a leg up on new entries because they had existing databases from which to draw.
This is also often the case in U.S. markets, particularly for companies like DraftKings and FanDuel, which can leverage existing daily fantasy sports databases in a new, legal sports betting market. But in no U.S. jurisdiction have black-market operators been encouraged to get licensed. Rather, in the U.S., the goal is to prevent such platforms from operating in legal gaming jurisdictions.
"Black-market operators … still live in Ontario, are not paying any tax OR being held under the regulatory rules. Advertising is very frustrating for operators playing by the rules," one industry source previously told Sports Handle.
Many new operators to the Ontario market, such as BetMGM, PointsBet, Caesars, and Rush Street Interactive, are building their customer bases from scratch. And that effort has been made more challenging by the AGCO's rules. In Canada, they have to shift their focus from promotions to brand awareness and find "elegant" ways to draw attention to their platforms.
Setting a new Standard
The Ontario regulator has also proposed a new Standard that would set an Oct. 31 deadline for gray operators to fully transition into the regulated market. However, there was no mention of a penalty for operators that may elect not to get licensed in either the proposed Standard or in letters that were sent out to suppliers and operators.
The proposed Standard reads:
Operators and gaming-related suppliers must cease all unregulated activities if, to carry out those same activities in iGaming Ontario's regulated online lottery scheme, it would require registration under the GCA (Canadian Gaming Act). Operators and gaming-related suppliers shall not enter into any agreements or arrangements with any unregistered person who is providing the operator or gaming-related supplier with any goods or services if, to provide those goods and services in iGaming Ontario's regulated online lottery scheme, it would require registration under the GCA.
According to a source, the AGCO must now open a stakeholder comment period as the next step in formalizing the amendment. The AGCO will review any comments received and will make any changes it deems necessary and release the final Standard. It will then be posted in the Ontario Gazette (the official publication of the government of Ontario), with an Oct. 31 effective date. After that, the AGCO would begin to publicly promote the effective date and what it will mean for operators that have not received AGCO registration by that date.
But with no penalty attached, the deadline does not appear to have any teeth.
Once formalized, any illegal online gaming site operating after Oct. 31 would be breaking Canadian law and may be hearing from the the Investigation and Enforcement Bureau (IEB), which is composed of Ontario Provincial Police officers and is fully integrated as a bureau within the AGCO.
Advertising from a RG perspective
Many European countries have adopted strict advertising rules in an effort to protect consumers. The government in Belgium is proposing to further strengthen its rules with a ban on all forms of gambling advertising with the exception of the country's lottery. Gambling advertising in Spain is limited to the early morning hours on TV and radio, and the country has also banned the advertising of bonuses and inducements.
In the United Kingdom, the government is prepping to review its 2005 Gambling Act, with advertising as a key point to be discussed. This month in Norway, meanwhile, the state-owned gaming monopoly pulled its television ads after a local broadcaster stopped running gambling advertisements from foreign companies.
Ontario's regulators appear to have adopted some of these principles and guidelines from overseas, which are much different than the advertising rules in the United States.
"The AGCO conducted research, looked into this itself, and looked at what created the greatest risk for players," Shelley White, CEO of the Responsible Gambling Council based in Toronto, told Sports Handle.
"And they determined that, based on the information that they acquired, that it was best if bonus promotions were delivered to consumers once they signed up on their sites. This was to protect and prevent young people and underage individuals and others who are vulnerable from being exposed to the various bonus and promotion ads that could actually be a trigger for an individual who is already high risk, or who's vulnerable to developing a risk, of a moderate to severe gambling challenge."
White said the RGC, and many other responsible gambling organizations, were consulted by the AGCO as it developed the advertising standards.
"The Canadian advertising culture is different, and they are much more sensitive [than the U.S.] to overblown advertising," an industry source told Sports Handle. "They've had kind of second-hand experience from looking south of the border. They might be believing that some U.S. states are going to go down this road, but they thought they'd do that at the start and save themselves the problem."
There are major concerns in Ontario from responsible gambling advocates over the explosion of online gaming ads on various media platforms in the province since the April 4 launch. These ads are brand-related, though, as the advertisements don't include promotions or specials.
In fact, it's such a hot topic in Canada right now that the RGC will be conducting local research on the issue in conjunction with Flutter Entertainment, FanDuel's parent company, but the results likely won't be published until 2024.

Different ad practices south of the border
The advertising rules in Ontario have been surprising for many U.S.-based operators that began taking bets from Canadians.
Some U.S. companies may have been "up in arms about that just because it's different than in the U.S.," Martin Lycka, Entain's SVP for American Regulatory Affairs and Responsible Gambling, told Sports Handle. "The Canadian advertising culture is different and they are much more sensitive to overblown advertising."
The stringent guidelines are a major departure from what is legal in terms of promotional advertising in U.S jurisdictions, where operators are allowed to advertise offers, bonuses, or promotions on social media, television, billboards, and on affiliate sites in addition to their own sites.
"My sense is that in Ontario when regulating, they were trying to keep that from happening," Lycka said. "They've had kind of second-hand experience from looking south of the border. This is Ontario's response to the latest U.S. advertising bonanza of offering crazy bonuses. … They were concerned they would be swamped the same way the U.S. was."

The amount of advertising has become a concern in some U.S. jurisdictions, among them Colorado, where Speaker of the House Alec Garnett this year suggested it might be time for the state to regulate wagering advertisements.
"You can limit how they talk to the people across the state both in online advertising, on billboards and on TV. You can try to limit who they are speaking to and what populations they're trying to address," Garnett told ABC News9. "I think the industry knows people are frustrated. The industry just hasn't done anything about it. The industry is too slow."
Colorado voters legalized sports betting via referendum in November 2019, and the regulator there launched digital platforms May 1, 2020, at the height of coronavirus shutdowns. Operators have been live and advertising for more than two years, and state lawmakers ultimately took no action this year to impose new restrictions.

When Randale joined Live For Today, the first thing he told us was that he lost his teeth to cancer. He was afraid to smile, ashamed of his first impression, and was being held back from achieving his full potential.
Once a football and track star with collegiate promise, Randale's life was turned upside-down when he was diagnosed with cancer as a junior in high school. As part of his treatment for nasopharyngeal carcinoma, Randale received radiation therapy to his mouth and nasal passages. As a result, his saliva glands stopped producing saliva resulting in the gradual loss of his teeth.
Before cancer, I had my eyes set on being a football/track star. With a promising future set ahead of me, I knew I was going to outshine my troubling past. Just as that dream was becoming a reality, cancer blindsided me and left me on the sideline with no chance of returning to those promising dreams.
The years that followed, I had many stipulations I had to overcome. I got diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Radiation drained me of my saliva glands and my teeth started to rot… Mentally, I was a mess. I couldn't smile. My teeth were disappearing fast and I started to pull back from everybody.
As you know, a first impression can go a long way and I was getting cut short of prosperous endeavors because I didn't look the part. It caused me to back away at first, but I found strength in knowing I survived cancer so there can be nothing that can stop me from living for today because everyday is a blessing.
After hearing Randale's story, we established the Live For Today Foundation Healthy Giving Fund, aimed at providing a one-time gift of medical equipment or services for young adult cancer survivors struggling with disabling late effects from cancer treatment. With the help of the Crowdrise community, we were able to raise enough money to get Randale's teeth back!
So, on a beautiful, sunny spring afternoon, Randale got his smile back thanks to Eagle Harbor Dental and Dr. Curt Standish. Over the past two months, Dr. Standish has been using his expertise to help make Randale's wish of having teeth again become a reality.
Recognizing how difficult it's been for Randale, Dr. Standish was dedicated to making sure his teeth not only looked great, but also were fitted properly given the difficulty of his case due to post cancer treatment issues.
Seeing the transformation in Randale was nothing short of inspiring. In a matter of minutes, Randale was laughing and his smile was as bright as the sun. Everyone in the office was smiling and we all knew at that moment that things would be dramatically different for Randale. Being without teeth, he had adapted to eating, speaking, and disguising his missing smile.
While getting his teeth back is huge in so many ways, it comes with an adjustment period. But, we know Randale is a strong, perseverant young man that can and will overcome any issues in adapting to having teeth again.
When he saw the picture of his new smile, you could see the gratitude in his eyes, but his words truly say it all.
Thank you so much. This is a life turning event. I'm ready for the next chapter in life and I'm motivated even more to succeed.


The Comfort sling has separate leg supporting straps, designed to cradle each leg individually from both sides of the leg, thereby providing a uniquely supportive and comfortable lift. The large material surface of the individual leg pieces means far less pressure on the user's legs. The special design makes it virtually impossible to fall out of the Comfort sling.
The comfort sling has color-coded straps to ensure correct lifts and to make it easier for the carer to ensure that the correct sling has been chosen.
• Usage: Lifting users with sufficient head control, but low tone/control of body and legs, contractures, amputees, and obese patients.
• Function: Supports entire body except head and neck. Leg support has a large comfortable surface which distributes the pressure along the entire thigh, because each leg is lifted from both sides. The design of the sling makes it virtually impossible to fall out of the sling.
• Spreader bar compatibility: 2 point spreader bar.

In this article we will look at how to use the menus. This is important in order to create a more advanced topic in Sandbox.
If you have been working with the examples previously, then the file functions.php there are a large number of functions for creating a variety of menu items. Due to the fact that in this article we have a practical approach, existing code that was created in previous articles of a cycle, you need to remove. But it's important to start working in WordPress.
This code is required to remove from the file functions.php. Then remove the functions that are responsible for adding a menu at the top level. This code must be rewritten later, the truth will be a lot of differences from the original version.
Before writing code, you need to plan actions. At this point you already have the basic functionality – users have the ability to adjust the visibility of three main containers. This group of options are located in the tab "General" (General). It is possible to find the "Settings" page.
But these three options is not enough for a good theme. At present, almost all use social networks to personal blogs, so you must give users an opportunity to demonstrate links to their accounts on major social networking sites. In order to achieve this, you need to find the item "appearance".
What improvements you need to make?
To specify a picture for the page options in order that it looked organic and fit into the system WordPress. Remove the description from the page. Create a function that will allow you to display errors. It will simplify your work. You need a form that will contain your options. Everything is easy to put into practice. Changed callback function you want to add to your project.
Next, you need to work on the displacement settings.

Group urges Buhari to appoint credible persons in cabinet
By Cleopatra Eki
08 May 2015 | 3:49 am
A GROUP, Diaspora Organisation Europe (NIDOE), has urged the President-elect, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, to appoint credible team of persons in his cabinet in the next four years.
This call was made in a press release signed by the organisation Chairman, Dr. George Manuwuike and the Public Relations and Media Officer, Mr. Adeleke Ogunkoya.
The group, which stated that the fate of millions of Nigerians at home and abroad lie on the responsibilities and progress of his team and governance, believes that our nation can move forward and be entrusted to Buhari because of his pedigree.
The organisation, which consists of 10 chapters across different parts of Europe, has declared its readiness to support and willingness to work with the in-coming administration in every capacity that will further aid sustainable development in all sphere of governance.
In a similar view, the group has also commended President Goodluck Jonathan, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), all the security agencies and Nigerians generally for providing a level-playing ground for free and fair elections to become an integral part of our democratic process, saying democracy has matured under Jonathan more than any other period before and Nigerians are indebted to him for his show of sportsmanship in averting the tendency to subvert the will of the people with the attendant bloodshed and unrest.
Tag bandits terrorists for peace sake, Adeboye advises President
General Overseer of The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG Worldwide), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to heed counsel by tagging bandits terrorists.
One year after, AfCFTA still in limbo
One year after the implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Area Agreement (AfCFTA), which came into force on January 1, 2021, Nigeria continues to lag behind in making the trade agreement operational owing to structural challenges, Coronavirus pandemic and lack of consensus on trade protocols and strategy among stakeholders.
Former presidential candidate Bashir Tofa is dead
Former Presidential Candidate of the defunct National Republican Convention (NRC), Alhaji Bashir Othman Tofa is dead. A family source, who confirmed the death, said Tofa passed in the early hours of Monday at Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital, Kano after a brief illness. Tofa died 29 years after contesting and losing a presidential election against late…


Death Note is one of the dopest manga (and subsequent anime) series ever. And unlike a lot of manga, it has a simple concept (a schoolkid finds a mystical notebook, in which anyone who he writes the name of in will die) that would be easily adaptable to an American setting. Which is why we're actually excited for the Hollywood remake coming soon (which is not something we'd say for most US takes on Japanese films). It also doesn't hurt that it's being made by sick indie horror director Adam Wingard as well.
Now it appears it's going to be notable for other reasons as well — originally to be made by Warner Bros, it is now going to be the latest in Netflix's increasingly impressive slate of original productions. They've already conquered TV, and now from Idris Elba's Beasts of No Nation, to the Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon sequel, to er, Adam Sandler movies, they're taking the same aggressive approach for movies. Netflix also don't shy away form violence and controversial themes, and considering that Death Note is about a teenager murdering people, this also gives us hope that it won't be watered down for American audiences. Keep an eye on this one.

Still posting more of my Fox in Flats style challenge outfits from May. As the temperatures started dropping, I had to add some scarves as well. It's a nice way to add colour in autumn or winter. They are also easily washable for life with baby, although I haven't yet found a way to stop baby grabbing and tugging on them sometimes!
The style challenge for the day was 'back track', so I wore this tank with the cut-out detail on the back. You can see it better on instagram. As I was taking the photos I was slowly realising it was much colder than I expected, much too cold for bare arms, so I had to run back inside and grab a jacket before we went out. Baby and I had planned to meet up with a mother's group in the park, but as I was running a little behind with all the errands I had to do that morning and I was worried how baby would cope in the cold, we decided to skip it and go home early.
Last worn: turquoise scarf, printed tank, purple skinny jeans, Converse, RM aqua mini MAC.
Other ways to wear: turquoise scarf with a printed dress, printed tank and maxi skirt hiding a second trimester baby bump, purple skinny jeans in spring, Converse and spring dresses, mini MAC and a maxi dress.
The style challenge for the day was 'simple formula' which worked out well for me as it was another morning where I was running behind! The formula I went with was 'grey tee, skinny jeans and great accessories'.
I thought the scarf added a nice touch of colour, and some print mixing with the cardi. Just needed a cosy and comfortable outfit. Baby T and I went to the library in the morning, and then playgroup later on. It was good to be able to take off some layers as it heated up through the day.
Last worn: brown cardigan, neon leopard print scarf, grey tee, skinny jeans, brown boots, Rebecca Minkoff Love bag.
Other ways to wear: leopard print scarf with a more casual skinny jeans outfit, grey tee and maxi skirt, skinny jeans with printed kimono, leather boots with a dress, grey RM bag and neutral outfit.
Linking up with Pleated Poppy, What I Wore, Style Me Weekly, I Feel Pretty, Style Me Wednesday, Oh Hey Girl, Trendy Wednesday, Thursday Favourites, Thursday Fashion Files, Throwback Thursday, Fashion Friday today.
You have the best scarf and bag collection! I'm obsessed with both of these scarves, so pretty and the perfect pop to your outfits!
Thanks Ira! I do have a bit of a Rebecca Minkoff collection going - the sales are just too tempting on her bags, haha!
I have to say your scarf collection is pretty fabulous! (Second place only to your bag collection, of course!) I love the beautiful, bright turquoise color of that first scarf (and bag). Such a fun touch to the outfit!
haha thank you! I think for once I have more scarves than bags after a bit of a clear-out!
Both of these are fab! I love the touches of turquoise in the first look. And the scarf in the second? I am obsessed.
You have the best handbag collection!!
I absolutely love both of these and despite it being to warm here for scarves right now I want to wear both!! The color combo in the first look is SO SO pretty, and that scarf adds so much fun to the second look!
That second scarf and boot combo is amazing! I love the coral/tan color combo.
That print and aqua looks great together! I love your second outfit also! The scarf just adds a spark to an already great looking outfit.
Now I kind of regret not having a single pair of skinny jeans in my closet:) You make them look so cool. I'm not a fan but on you they look so perfect.
The second outfit is fabulous! I really like the boots and the bag...and than animal print scarf is the perfect addition of colour.
Yes, I had a pair of jelly sandals when I was a kid and if my memory is to be trusted they were bright red.
I really like your jelly sandals and this outfit is a great match for them. The pastel blue jacket is so divine...and that striped dress looks amazing on you. With that model body, I'm sure you can rock every and any dress.
I'm happy to hear you have a new job you're really happy with...and a new make up palette and haircut to match:) Small changes can make such a difference.
love your bag collection! beautiful!
Looove the color of that turquoise Minkoff! So pretty!
I love the colours in this outfit! Teal and purple look awesome together. Great necklace too!
A nice pop of color is the best way to spice up a casual get up. You nailed that style challenge with that gorgeous red scarf!
Oh I am so digging the first outfit!! The aqua blue scarf and bag with the colored jeans absolutely makes this outfit stunning!!!
I'm not normally a leopard print girl but in accent pieces I take exception -- your scarf being a definite "I would totally wear that!"
Oh my gosh! Those purple pants are absolutely gorgeous!
Those boots are divine! I am looking at the Spendless dupe with intent now!
I agree that scarves are a nice way to add color to an outfit. I love both of your scarves in these outfit and totally love the color combo in that first outfit. Thank you for joining TBT Fashion link up and hope to see you next week. Have a great weekend!
That second look is outstanding Mica ! you look like a life size doll.
