PETITION AGAINST THE DEPLOYMENT OF CSP JOHN INYANG ABIA AS ESIT EKET DIVISIONAL POLICE OFFICER (DPO): A THREAT TO PEACE, SECURITY, AND OBVIOUS PLOT BY APC AND POLICE TO TRUNCATE DEMOCRACY IN ESIT EKET LGA.
It is obvious that your resounding track record and distinguished characteristic as a top brass officer of the Nigeria police have hitherto remain the bedrock of your elevation to highest echelon in the the Nigeria police.
Sir, over the years, the people of Esit Eket have uninterruptedly experienced harmonious and peaceful co-existence amongst selves, not until when the news of the deployment of CSP John Inyang Abia; as the new DPO in charge of the area.
Sir, it is glaring that CSP John Inyang Abia whose last posting was the DPO of Uruan LGA is the biological brother to Hon. Eyo Inyang Abia; the APC flag-bearer for Esit-Eket /Ibeno state constituency in the forthcoming elections.
Sir, we are also informed that (CSP John Inyang Abia) will officially resume in office as the new DPO from Monday 11th 2019.
Nevertheless, we acknowledge his dedication to duty and professionalism as a senior police officer.
Sir, for the overall interest of the people of Esit Eket, we demand for immediate reversal of CSP John Abia's deployment to Esit Eket by the state police boss considering his biological relationship with (Eyo Inyang Abia), who is equally contesting for the state house seat under the APC platform can possibly marred the entire process.
Howbeit, the people of Esit Eket unequivocally wish to state here that the sudden transfer of CSP John Abia, the (blood brother to the APC candidate) vis-a-vis forthcoming general elections substantially portrays APCs tyrannic and clandestine plot to intimidate, harrass and disenfranchise the electorates in other to rig the forthcoming elections to their favour with the help of the police.
Having viewed critically the detrimental effect of the police and APCs alliance and its imminent danger as it relates to the existing peace and unity enjoyed by the people of Esit Eket, we make bold to submit that we will within the confines of the law resist every illegal attempts by the APC to use the police as their election rigging mechineries.
Sir, our appeal to you as the Inspector General of Police for immediate reversal of CSP John Abia's deployment is to enable the enthronement of justice, fairness and equity through out the entire electioneering process.
We wish to use this medium to announce to the world that the evil plot by APC to truncate the existence of democracy in Nigeria and Esit Eket following the deployment of a chief supretendent of police who is the biological brother to the APC candidate for Esit Eket / Ibeno State constituency; Hon. Eyo Inyang Abia, as the new DPO in Esit Eket tantamount to threat to democracy, peaceful coexistence and fair elections.
Upon the above, the people of Esit-Eket in strong terms are opposed to the deployment of CSP John Inyang Abia as the DPO prior to the general elections.
We are by this petition calling on you, the Inspector General of Police to immediately intervene towards ensuring the immediate transfer of CSP John Inyang Abia to any other LGA else the people of Esit Eket will massively protest to defend their right against the police and APC's gang-up to truncate democracy and to victimise the people of Esit Eket LGA.

Murdock: U.S. should Amerexit from D.C.'s death grip

Opinion by Deroy Murdock
NEW YORK -- The morning after Great Britain's June 23 Brexit referendum, former London mayor and perhaps future prime minister Boris Johnson said British voters "decided that it is time to take back control from a European Union that has become too remote, too opaque, and not accountable enough to the people it is meant to serve."
The same could be said about Washington, D.C.'s distant, stealthy, impervious bureaucracy. Just as Britain Brexited Brussels, America should Amerexit the Beltway.
Brussels repelled Britons, in part, by relentlessly pelting them with expensive, pointless regulations surreal enough to make a Magritte resemble a Gainsborough.
Perhaps most notoriously, Brussels requires that all bananas in the EU must be "free from malformation or abnormal curvature." And how does one define "abnormal?" Please consult EU Commission Regulation 1333/2011. Achieving a nearly erotic level of absurdity, this rule stretches to 4,465 words.
Consider these other outrages, courtesy of the pro-Brexit campaign, Vote Leave.
The EU forced the United Kingdom to impose a value-added tax when it joined in 1973. Brussels mandates that British consumers pay a VAT of at least 5 percent on numerous goods, including tampons and condoms.
But Brussels does not solely target intimate products. According to Vote Leave, "the European Commission referred the Dutch government to the European Court of Justice for allowing exemptions on boat moorings" on which Holland hoped to reduce VAT.
The European Food Safety Authority made it "illegal to say that drinking water stops dehydration."
Brussels' Habitats Directive, London conceded, prevents contractors from "building the homes that Britain needs."
A new EU rule would force restaurants to replace refillable table-top olive oil bottles with individual, tamper-proof containers.
In a brilliant scene from "Brexit: The Movie," an Englishman wakes up and prepares for work. His household products yield to a staggering spectrum of EU commands. His alarm clock is affected by 11 such orders. Toothpaste, 47. His showerhead, 91. Shampoo, 118. And the oversight accelerates as he eats breakfast. His orange juice is squeezed by 202 edicts. Coffee, 625. Bread, 1,246. And milk traverses a mind-blowing 12,653 different regulations between the cow's utters and the Briton's lips.
The House of Commons Library estimates that 60 percent of British laws began as EU directives. Brussels costs Britain roughly $45 billion annually - or a population-adjusted $225 billion here. Of course, we've seen this movie, too. America also suffers from hyperactive bureaucratic micro-mismanagement.
Some regulations make sense. Most libertarians could accept the Labor Department's new "Rules regarding confined spaces in construction: preventing suffocation and explosions." But much else is bonkers, as Competitive Enterprise Institute scholar Clyde Wayne Crews details in "Ten Thousand Commandments: An Annual Snapshot of the Federal Regulatory State."
The Energy Department is fussing with dehumidifiers, vending machines, wine chillers, pool heaters, and ice makers.
The Health and Human Services Department is readying "portion-size regulations for products such as breath mints."
The Environmental Protection Agency is waging a new war on wood-burning stoves.
Another rule fights dust on farms. Why not ban sand from beaches?
Unlike most regulations, which usually involve advance notice and public comment, the Obama dictatorship now suddenly issues "guidance letters." These decrees have the force of law. Such "guidance" now limits auto dealers' freedom to offer customers discounted car loans. This is how the Labor Department redefined many independent contractors as employees. Education Department "guidance" helps persecute innocent college men for acts of sexual harassment that they never committed. "Guidance" recently brought the transgender wars into local school bathrooms and locker rooms across America.
Last year's 80,260 pages in the Federal Register will wind up in the Code of Federal Regulations, which spans 237 bound volumes. Crews estimates the annual cost of federal red tape at $1.9 trillion or roughly 10 percent of GDP. This country sorely needs an Amerexit from all of this. How? Come November, elect candidates who explicitly promise to lasso these faceless, mindless geniuses before they leave us all cold and hungry outside the poor house.

I've tried. I really have tried to catch Elsa with her tongue out but do you think she will accommodate me? Heck no! She clams up as if she belongs to the Illuminati. Sam is equally uncooperative. So alas, it's not very likely there will be any 'Tongue Out Tuesday' posts featuring our gang. So instead, I'm offering a Tongue In Tuesday post (hey when given lemons, I say make some lemonade).
Melt beeswax in a small jar in a pot of hot water (double boiler effect) over medium-high heat, stirring often, until completely melted. This should take about 10 minutes.
Add the coconut oil, olive oil, and shea butter. Heat until all ingredients are melted, stirring often.
Remove from heat and add the vitamin E drops. Stir well.
Pour mixture into storage containers or molds.
Let it sit for an hour until it solidifies.
To use, rub a small amount into your palm until it melts. Apply to affected areas. I love the idea of using the silicone dog paw and bone shaped molds I've used before when I made coconut oil dog treats. With the moisturizing properties of these oils, those cracked paws and noses should heal up in no time. And you won't have to worry about the balm being licked off. All the ingredients are completely safe. Win-win. Even if there is no tongue being displayed for the camera.
Does your pup ever get cracked nose or paws?
Ow! I will have to try this recipe! Ryder had a really bad cracked pad a couple weeks ago. He favored it a lot, especially on gravel. Poor guy. I put a little pad cream to help. But I'd love to make some homemade goodies for him.
Much easier on sensitive tummy's.
Hazel could use some of that on her nose!
It's great stuff for dry, cracked noses!
I try to avoid newly salted roads, but sometimes they can't be avoided. This sounds like a good recipe for that cracked paw problem.
Never when you want them to cooperate. This is the recipe I use for my chapstick, love it!
And it's so much better than store bought because it actually works by being absorbed rather than just sitting on the surface.
My guy's eyes get so big I'm distracted to see if they even have tongues when food is around! Tail thumping however goes off the charts.
Wagnificient recipe! Thank you for sharing it.
Most of the "tongue out" pictures of Choppy involve warm days and walks – I like to think this reflects well on me, as even our regular 2+ mile walks aren't enough to tucker her out enough to start panting!
I am saving the recipe for winter dryness, it looks perfect.
It will work for both 2 and 4-legged who suffer from winter dryness. Having super dry skin, I use it all year long on myself.
I, too, have been going the "natural" route, and was glad to see the link to your method (and recipes) for natural flea/tick prevention. I already used a different recipe I found – using essential oils. Instead of it repelling ticks, I have pulled off 3 dead ones that were attached to Xena. I was hoping to find a repellent, so will have to try this.
I suspect your climate contributes to the incidence of ticks, but hope it helps. Keep us posted on any successes.
Absolutely. We are in a highly endemic area. And the evergreens around us don't help.
Stay safe. Those nasty crawly things are the pits!
And most times I probably think I'm better off for not knowing their secret lives.
That will work-tell them that it is "Tongue-in Tuesday" and the tongues will always be out.
Poodles are too smart for reverse psychology, I know…they've bamboozled me many times when I've tried it. Rotten little toads!
She's a lady and ladies don't stick their tongues out. Pretty girl.
Love your fix for dryness in your babies.
I'm curious, once you have all the balm portioned-out into the molds*, how many do you end up with and how do you store them?
*I love the idea of using the paw print molds!
You should probably get 4-6 depending on the size of your mold and how deep you fill the cavity with that recipe. A cool dry place is best for storage (there is Vitamin E as a preservative) but for humid climates, I might be tempted to store in the frig. It will take a while to 'warm' them up in your hands for applying (or you could leave out until they reach room temperature).
Wondering if you have problems with them wanting to lick it off. It sounds so yummy!
They most likely will to some extent just like they would with any ointment but at least I don't worry they'll get sick from it. It's the moisturizing that will make the difference in rough paws.
Now why wouldn't a Ranch Ninja cooperate?
Ninja's by their very nature are covert agents or mercenaries. Their functions include espionage, sabotage, infiltration, assassination and guerrilla warfare…i.e. Elsa. Besides, I'm beginning to think there's something definitive in the poodle rules of engagement that covers cooperation, er rather lack thereof.
… and being a Ninja Poodle seems to explain a lot!


understand the table, but visually it is more understandable this way.
I would like to thank all for their feedback, corrections, and comments.
that can be referred to in the future so anyone can easily see the changes.

Stephen Ratpojanakul and his twin brother Michael look so similar, not even Stephen's son can tell them apart.
The adorably confused baby is seeing double when Stephen and Michael do that twin thing and try to make the little boy figure out which one is which, or in this case, which one is "dada."
Just so you aren't on the same level of befuddlement as a tiny baby, father Stephen is in the gray sweater.

Chapter 2 provides a good opportunity for introducing ethics.
Discussion may be more productive if you make have students bring their books and refer to Boxes 2.1-2.4.
If you want to discuss ethics in great depth, you may also want to assign Appendix D.
After introducing the basic ethical principles, describe studies and have students determine whether ethical principles were compromised. In addition to describing studies and having students determine whether ethical guidelines were compromised, have students think about times where NOT doing research is unethical. For example, shouldn't prison programs, educational programs, speed limits, new drugs, and new psychotherapies be researched before we are all subjected to their effects?
Having students go through computerized IRB training (takes about an hour and students get a certificate of completion).
Having students fill out an IRB application for a hypothetical research study (you can use your school's, Clarion's, or this shortened form.
Having students discuss ethically controversial studies.
APA's links to web tutorials on research ethics.
NIH's Computer based training to help beginning researchers learn how to protect participants (your students get a certificate upon completion).
Training to be an IRB member (from NIH--although students may find some of the slides irrelevant, the program as a whole could really help them understand that being ethical is far more than just being nice--it involves weighing costs and benefits and thinking through the possible consequences of an action.
The problem for scientists and practitioners about letting the powerful use their knowledge (From a letter of a psychologist who left APA over APA's interrogation policies. The author notes that, without a strong and broad ethics code, psychologists could find themselves like the German rocket scientists--loyal only to the highest or most powerful bidder).
Links to reports about "the monster study" (A University of Iowa study that tried to turn six orphans into stutterers).
mislead humane people. AmericanPsychologist, 39, 700-701.
You may also want to have students read APA's position on animal research.
Finally, you could order the Committee on Animal Research and Ethics (Care) video. The 14-minute video shows how nonhuman animal research has been useful. It comes with a Teacher's Guide. The video costs 19.95 plus shipping and handling. You can order it over the phone ( department 1-800-374-2721) or via email (order@apa.org). APA requests that you use order number 4050330 when requesting a copy.

Mohamed Chedly Ennaifer, né en 1911 à Tunis et décédé en 1997 à Tunis, est un ouléma tunisien.

Biographie

Jeunesse et formation
Ennaifer naît dans une famille de la grande notabilité tunisoise à laquelle appartiennent bon nombre de savants religieux. Fils de Sadok Ennaifer, cadi à Tunis, il est le petit-fils du côté paternel d'un Cheikh El Islam, Mohamed Tahar Ennaifer. Du côté maternel, il est le fils de Cherifa, fille de Mohamed Azzouz Wakil, gérant d'une zaouïa qui descend de la famille du saint Sidi Ali Azzouz. Mohamed Chedly Ennaifer épouse Wassila Kastalli, fille d'une famille de riches commerçants d'or et de chéchias.

Tout jeune, Mohamed Chedly Ennaifer apprend une grande partie du Coran et étudie l'arabe au sein de sa famille puis dans un kouttab (école coranique). Il rejoint la Zitouna en 1924 et y obtient un certificat de fin d'études secondaires, qui lui permet d'y enseigner en tant que bénévole. Il y achève ses études supérieures et obtient sa licence après trois ans.

Carrière académique et religieuse
Il est alors nommé à la Zitouna comme aide-enseignant en 1934, puis devient professeur de troisième classe en 1935, professeur malékite de deuxième classe en 1943 et professeur de première classe en 1953 ; il enseigne également les sciences islamiques au Collège Sadiki et au lycée Carnot de Tunis.

Après l'indépendance, il est nommé à la Zitouna, devenue une simple faculté, comme professeur adjoint en 1968, maître de conférences en 1975 puis professeur en 1981. Il est doyen de la faculté pendant deux mandats consécutifs jusqu'en 1990.

Il est aussi un membre actif de l'Association des jeunes musulmans qu'il préside en 1936 et contribue à fonder l'Association zitounienne la même année et les Jeunes zitouniens l'année suivante. Il est par ailleurs imam de la mosquée de Bab Lakouas entre 1946 et 1997.

Maldives President sends envoys to China, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia
Published On: February 8, 2018 05:12 PM NPT By: Agencies
Security forces stand outside the Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) office as they barricade it in capital Male, on February 7, 2018. (AFP)
MALDIVES, Feb 8: Maldives' beleaguered President Abdulla Yameen, facing pressure from the world community to end a state of emergency, has dispatched envoys to the "friendly nations" of China, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia to lobby for support but has no plans to send a representative to India, one of the island nation's closest allies.
PTI, however, quoted the island nation's envoy to India Ahmed Mohamed as saying, " India was in fact the first stop planned and proposed for a visit of a special envoy of the president of Maldives. However, the dates proposed were not suitable for the Indian leadership."
"We understand the external affairs minister is out of country and the prime minister is leaving for UAE during the week," he added.
The Maldives plunged into political turmoil last week after Yameen refused to obey a Supreme Court order clearing former president Mohamed Nasheed of terror charges and freeing eight top opposition leaders. Yameen instead imposed a 15-day emergency and detained two top judges, including the chief justice.
An official said three members of the Cabinet, on the direction of Yameen, will visit "friendly nations of the Maldives and provide updates on the current situation".
Economic development minister Mohamed Saeed was sent to China while foreign minister Mohamed Asim left for Pakistan on Wednesday evening. Agriculture minister Mohamed Shainee was scheduled to travel to Saudi Arabia on Thursday.statement from the presidency
The move showed Yameen's regime had decided to align itself closely with China, which had on Wednesday opposed any foreign intervention in the Maldives while responding to Nasheed's call to India to use its military to end the turmoil in the island nation.
Yameen has progressively moved closer to China as his tenuous grip on power has been challenged by Nasheed, currently in self-exile in Sri Lanka, and other opposition leaders. He has cracked down on protests and detained opposition leaders.
India has said it is disturbed by developments in the Maldives, including the emergency imposed by Yameen and the president's refusal to abide by the Suprem Court's ruling.
Judges perceived as loyal to Yameen have rolled back the order clearing Nasheed of terror charges and freeing the other imprisoned opposition leaders.
During a news briefing at China's foreign ministry on Wednesday, spokesperson Geng Shuang opposed any external intervention and called for "non-interference" in the internal affairs of the Maldives. Geng didn't mention India but there was no doubt which country he was referring to.
"The international community should play a constructive role on the basis of respecting the Maldives' sovereignty instead of taking measures that could complicate the current situation," he said when he was asked about Nasheed's remarks.
"The current situation in the Maldives is its internal affairs. China follows the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of others," Geng said in response to a question on allegations by Maldivian opposition parties that Beijing is backing Yameen as he had approved Chinese projects.
Brushing aside China's opposition to foreign intervention, Nasheed tweeted on Wednesday: "Saying 'resolve things internally' is akin to asking us to escalate the revolt, which can lead to chaos. Maldivians see India's role positively: in '88 they came, resolved the crisis, and left. They were not occupiers but liberators. This is why Maldivians look to India now."
India has officially given little indication how it plans to react to the emerging situation in the Maldives though reports have suggested that troops and air force planes have been kept in readiness if some sort of intervention becomes necessary.

Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah on America, Dystopia and New York City Bookshops
Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah's short stories merge the real and the imaginary | © Limitless Imprint Entertainment
Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah is a New York City-born writer who fuses realism and surrealism to create fantastical stories that feel hauntingly true. Following the release of his debut collection, Friday Black – an exploration of race, consumerism and masculinity in America – Adjei-Brenyah speaks about the current social climate in the US and his personal relationship to New York City.
Exactly one month prior to the stampedes of crazed shoppers who burst through shop doors on Black Friday 2018, Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah's Friday Black quietly emerged on bookshelves throughout the US. In this collection of dark, haunting tales, Adjei-Brenyah imagines worlds where unborn fetuses visit their would-be parents, immersive VR experiences are used to play out racist violence, and death is the norm during Black Friday's frenzied activity. They are worlds that are far-fetched and caricatured but remain strikingly believable.
Reading Adjei-Brenyah is a visceral experience. The way he merges the real with the imaginary is reminiscent of Man Booker winner and Adjei-Brenyah's personal mentor George Saunders, but his style remains distinctly his own. Born in New York City, and a graduate of SUNY Albany and Syracuse University, Adjei-Brenyah is one of New York's most promising writers, offering insightful and candid social commentary.

Culture Trip: A lot of your stories have an amazing mix between what's real and what's imagined. To what extent are these stories based on real experiences, and how do you charge them with a surreal element?
Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah: I just follow the story that comes to me. Even the more surreal stories, it's often just me concretizing a feeling that I feel in an abstract way. For example, the first story we have this blackness scale, but for me that's what it feels like when I'm adjusting myself to a particular space as a black person moving through the world. So I just took what I was genuinely feeling in my real life and made it literal. With the stories that are a little more tied to realism, I'm more closely representing how I'm feeling without creating that conceit. I don't have a different mindset going into either of those types of stories. Working with George [Saunders], one of the things he really helped me with was realizing that distinction is sort of an illusion. You write a story, you write the best story you can, you make the rules you need and try to get some sort of truth there.
CT: To what extent do you feel your stories have a didactic purpose?
NKAB: I do hope that these stories radicalize people's imaginations. I hope there is a visceral response against some of the violence in my stories. That said, I put humor in, and they're engaging on a story level because I think that's important for fiction. You want people to enjoy the story you're writing, and part of that enjoyment is responding to their better nature.
CT: 'The Era' and 'Zimmer Land' feel very dystopian. Are you intending to write about dystopia, or is dystopia the way it comes out?
NKAB: I have very few ends decided when I start writing a story. I have a voice and a situation in my head. That word dystopia gets attributed to me a lot. I think that right now there's people who live with more money than they could ever possibly use, and also people who are born into nothing and suffer because of it. It happens and it's allowed and it's the status quo. I think a lot of the qualities that we call dystopian might already be here.
CT: Your stories cover a lot of crisis subjects: police brutality, race relations, consumerism, but also masculinity. 'Lark Street' was a very moving, haunting story. Why did you choose to narrate the experience of an abortion from a male point of view?
NKAB: I didn't want to ever presume to know what a woman experiences. In writing the story I recognized how problematic it is to offer up a man's point of view, because we too often only hear the man's point of view. It's important to recognize that. In writing that story, what I hope I arrived at was the main protagonist realizing that he's privileging his own feelings, his guilt. And I think he arrives at a place where he's like, 'You know what, I'm not the one who's the most important voice in this situation.' I try to gesture towards that.

CT: How did growing up in New York City influence you as a writer?
NKAB: I was born in Queens, New York, in the city, but I left when I was seven or eight so I'm from just outside in a place called Spring Valley, Rockland County. I'm sure it influenced me in a way I couldn't really perceive, but I wasn't aware of anything literary at all when I was growing up. Even though I read, I was reading whatever caught my eye. I wasn't guided by authors in a way I sometimes am now. I didn't even understand what the word literary meant – I still don't know if I do exactly! I was always around a lot of different people from a lot of different backgrounds, in both the city and Spring Valley. But I didn't have a sense of being part of a literary community until I went to grad school at Syracuse.
CT: What drew you to writing when you were growing up?
NKAB: I liked writing because it's free, people can't take it away from you. I read fantasy and sci-fi YA and eventually I had an idea that stuck with me that I couldn't get out of my head. I didn't think of myself as a writer. It wasn't until I got to college [SUNY Albany, New York] where I realized it was an option to be or try to conceive of yourself as a writer.
CT: And finally, where do you buy your books in New York City?
NKAB: Three Lives and Company. Strand, too.


The oxford dictionary defines vision as the ability to think about or plan the future with imagination or wisdom. Creating a vision is one of the most integral aspects of business planning. A vision sets the course for a company to fulfil its mission, adhere to its values, and motivates the entire company toward achieving its goals. I believe that by applying this same principle to our lives will lead to a greater level of life satisfaction. Life is to be created as opposed to merely allowing everything to happen to you. Only you have the power to choose either to create or to aimless wander through life. If you seek a greater level of satisfaction in your life, you must desire a change because if you keep doing what you have always done, you will keep getting the same results. In order to create a life vision, you must define your life's purpose.
At this point, if you have not read my previous post 'How to Figure Out What You Really Want' or completed the 'The Wheel of Life Fun Sheet', I would advise you to take a few moments to read and complete fun sheet; the blog post and fun sheet a necessary foundation to this blog post.
Your life purpose embodies your values, provides a deep level of satisfaction, points you in the right direction, and expresses your unique view of the world around you. I believe that each one of us is born with a unique purpose. This unique purpose is an expression of the individual and serves as their gift to the world. The world needs what only you have to offer.
The key to defining your life's purpose is to take the time to deeply look within yourself. Throughout your life, you have been given subtle clues to your purpose. You have your own unique set of strengths, gifts, talents, and interests; you are supposed to use them.
Begin by making a list of all the times in your life that have made you feel the most alive and joyful. Look closely at this list, and ask yourself; what does each of these experiences have in common? Write down the answer. This common element provides you with an indicator of what brings you joy and is an indication of your life's purpose.
What are my natural gifts?
What are my personal strengths and characteristics?
When do I feel most alive?
What brings me the greatest joy in life?
When do I feel the best about myself?
What do others say that I am really good at?
How do I enjoy interacting with other people?
What would I change, if I could change the world?
Reflect over your answers; do you see a pattern emerging? What are the most common characteristics found in your answers? Write them down.
Take your answers from the questions above and consolidate them into two or three sentences. Your life's purpose is based on who you authentically are, as well as you unique passions, interests, gifts and talents. Your mission statement is the why behind everything you do and strive for; evoke emotion into your statement in order to create significance and build motivation.
This series is about creating a life that is filled with passion and significance; and a life of purpose. Your personal mission statement is the driving force behind your vision and goals.
It is extremely important that you commence this next exercise in a place where you cannot be interrupted, turn of your phone, tablets, shut down your email program, or any other distraction and give yourself permission to dream without limitations. How many times have you dreamt of doing something only to shoot yourself down with the words 'You can't do that'? Remember, everything can be figured out if you have the drive and determination.
Reflect over The Wheel of Life Fun Sheet and ask yourself what do I want to change. Close your eyes and visualise your life in 10 years. As yourself the following questions to help you gain clarity, then write a paragraph or two based on your answers.
What do I secretly dream of achieving?
How would I like to grow personally?
How would I like to grow spiritually?
What would my ideal family consist of?
What career would I choose or create for myself?
What would my dream home look like?
How could I give back to the community?
What charities do I want to support or get involved in?
If I could change the world, how would I make it a better place?
Evoke emotion into your vision statement. Emotion is powerful and drives you to take action. Just like your ultimate life purpose, your vision statement serves your purpose and provides motivation and focus. It is a constant reminder of the life you want to create for yourself. Ask yourself, how do I feel about my vision? Do I feel charged and ready to take action or do I feel unmotivated? Lack of motivation is an indicator that you need to go back and add more detail.
Your vision statement acts as a measure or standard that you are striving to attain and needs to contain detail. This detail defines the measurable results you wish to see and without the detail you will not be able to determine whether your life is on track. Ask yourself do I have enough detail in my vision statement? Does my vision statement accurately paint a picture of what I want my life to be like? Go back and add in more detail were necessary.
In order to get the most out of these two exercises, I have created two more fun sheets, Life on Purpose and Create Your life Vision. These worksheets, as well as others, are available for free to download on our resource library.
Now, I'd love to hear from you. Which one of these tips do you plan on putting into practice this week? Or do you have insights on your experience with defining your life's purpose or creating a vision for your life? Please let me know by using the comments box below. Thank you for reading, sharing and commenting with such kindness and enthusiasm.


KUALA LUMPUR, July 23 (Bernama) — In line with its purpose of empowering people to live a better life, AXA Affin General Insurance Berhad (AAGI) strengthens its payer-to-partner positioning in the health segment by encouraging Malaysians to laugh and live healthier in its #LaughForHealth campaign.
"As the no.1 general insurer in Medical and Health, we understand the importance of upholding the trust that customers have placed on us as their health partner. They want a partner that cares, not one that simply pays their claims. Which is why we at AXA are committed to be there for our customers by playing an active role in their well-being," said Emmanuel Nivet, Chief Executive Officer of AAGI.
As part of its ongoing initiatives to inspire Malaysians to live a healthier and better life, AAGI launches an engaging campaign under the theme #LaughForHealth. It was curated based on the insights and proven notion that laughter is important and beneficial to our overall physical and emotional well-being. The campaign will run for 17 weeks in collaboration with well-known local stand-up comedian Dr. Jason Leong.
"All of us know how to laugh, in fact we laugh before we learn to speak. But people are often too caught up in the moment to laugh. At AXA, we want to advocate on the benefits of laughter and how they can benefit our overall health. We are more than just an insurance company, we wish to reach out to all Malaysians to join us and #LaughForHealth!" said Rebecca Tan, Chief Marketing Officer and Bancassurance of AAGI.
The campaign activated with Dr. Jason Leong leading "AXA Laughter Squad" on a mission to enlighten Malaysians with infectious laughter at the heart of Kuala Lumpur. The surprise and delightful laughter squad aimed to build engaging relationships with Malaysians and raise awareness on the benefits of laughter towards health and wellness.
The reactions of Malaysians during the activation were captured in a video and broadcasted on social media platforms (YouTube and Facebook) together with three other videos on the benefits of laughter. The campaign will run until October 2018 across different platforms such as radio, RAPID KL buses and digital.
Building on the momentum of the campaign, AAGI brings Malaysians from all walks of life to join a charitable cause, in partnership with a non-profit organisation ("NGO") dedicated to educate the public on heart and circulatory diseases. AAGI will contribute RM1 with every "Haha Emoji" clicks received on the #LaughForHealth activation video to the NGO. A total up to RM 40,000 contribution is targeted to be channeled to the NGO.


I can't remember the last time I had an uninterrupted night's sleep . . . too many aches and too small bladder!
Sigh. It sounds absolutely blissful. And not something I can remember.
I'm quite familiar with deep dreamless sleep, also with deep sleep where I do dream, while knowing that I am sleeping and enjoying it.

A: I realise this question is old but I ran into the same problem and found a solution.
Step 1: Find out your environment's directory by running
conda env list

in the conda Powershell.
Step 2: Change to the environment's directory by using the command:
cd [PATH]

or by navigating to the directory in the windows explorer.
(You can copy the Path from the output of Step 1.
)
Step 3: In there create the following directory
by using the command:
mkdir .\etc\conda\activate.d

or by making a new directory "etc", in there a new directory "conda" and then in conda the final directory "activate.d".
All scripts in this directory will be run when activating the environment.
Step 4: Create the script (inside of the activate.d directory)
by using the command
cd .\etc\conda\activate.d
new-item . -name set_working_directory.bat -type "file" -value "cd [PATH]"

where [PATH] is the path to your desired working directory
or by crating a new file ".bat"
and inside writing cd [PATH]. So if you want conda to switch to the directory C:\user\Documents for example, you would write cd C:\user\Documents and save the file.
Now, when you run conda activate [your_env] the script changes your directory automatically.

Identifying brown bear habitat by a combined GIS and machine learning method
Identifying brown bear habitat by a combined GIS and machine learning method Kobler, Andrej; Adamic, Miha 2000-12-05 00:00:00 In this paper we attempt to identify brown bear ( Ursus arctos ) habitat in south-western part of Slovenia, a country lying on the north-western-most edge of the continuous Dinaric-Eastern Alps brown bear population. The knowledge base (in the form of a decision tree) for the expert system for identifying the suitable habitat, was induced by automated machine learning from recorded bear sightings, and then linked to the GIS thematic layers for subsequent habitat/non-habitat classification of the entire study area. The accuracy of the decision tree classifier was 87% (KHAT 73%). The decision tree mostly agreed with the existing domain knowledge. For the study area the main factors considered by the expert system to be important for brown bear habitat were the percentage of forest (positive), proximity to settlements (negative) and elevation above see (positive), however the decision tree did not account for habitat patch size. After filtering out habitat patches smaller than 5000 ha in GIS, the accuracy increased to 89% (KHAT 77%). Whereas 88% of the habitat was within forests, only 33% of all forests were considered suitable as habitat. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Ecological Modelling Elsevier http://www.deepdyve.com/lp/elsevier/identifying-brown-bear-habitat-by-a-combined-gis-and-machine-learning-DncBGoo31T

Q: Anyway to save an background image so when it reloads it save your choice I am developing a site where you can set a "dark mode" but when I access it or refresh it always sets it back to the light version. Is their anyway that choice can be set / saved on a device.
 <button onclick="document.body.style.backgroundColor = '#2e2e2e'">Dark Mode</button>
  <button onclick="document.body.style.backgroundColor = 'white'">Light Mode</button>

This is all I got for now, Until I can figure out how to save that choice.

A: Use JavaScript Cookie
All code here
Note: I am using a Cookie that's name is: bodyColor;

    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
    <title>Testing Page</title>

Testing Page

<button onclick="setbodyBGDarkColor();setCookieDark()">Dark Mode</button>
<button onclick="setbodyBGWhileColor();setCookieWhite()">Light Mode</button>

I think it's better solution for you.

A: I found this one on Vanilla JS. You can save your session.
document.body.style.backgroundColor = sessionStorage.getItem('bg');
document.body.style.color = sessionStorage.getItem('cc');
function darker() {

 if ( sessionStorage.getItem('bg') === 'rgb(255, 255, 255)') {

        sessionStorage.setItem('bg', 'rgb(6, 23, 37)');

        sessionStorage.setItem('cc', '#777');

         }
        else if (sessionStorage.getItem('bg') == null || undefined) {
            sessionStorage.setItem('bg', 'rgb(6, 23, 37)');
            sessionStorage.setItem('cc', '#777');

        }
        else if( sessionStorage.getItem('bg') === 'rgb(6, 23, 37)') {

            sessionStorage.setItem('bg', 'rgb(255, 255, 255)');
            sessionStorage.setItem('cc', '#333');

        }

    document.body.style.backgroundColor = sessionStorage.getItem('bg');
    document.body.style.color = sessionStorage.getItem('cc');

    }

A: There are a few ways this can be done - one way would be to use the LocalStorage API to achieve this as shown below:
/*
Local helper applies color to document background and saves that color for
recall on future page loads
*/
function applyTheme(color) {

  localStorage.set("themeColor", color);

  document.body.style.backgroundColor = themeColor;
}

/*
Setup event hander that is called when DOM is ready
*/
window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {

    /*
    When DOM ready, load previous theme color and apply it (or default to
    white if no color previously saved)
    */
    applyTheme(localStorage.get("themeColor") || "white");

    /*
    Bind click event to buttons and invoke apply theme helper function
    */
    document.getElementById("dark").addEventListener("click", () => applyTheme("#2e2e2e"));
    document.getElementById("light").addEventListener("click", () => applyTheme("white"));
});

<button id="dark">Dark Mode</button>
<button id="light">Light Mode</button>


http://www.NewsAndOpinion.com | BORREGO SPRINGS, Calif From here in the southern desert to the Oregon border, California is feeling faint tremors of a possible political earthquake. A state tradition from the early 20th-century, plebiscitary democracy, is being fueled by the synergism of two late 20th-century developments, talk radio and the Internet. The result may be the recall of Gov. Gray Davis, who last November won re-election with just 47 percent of the vote.
California is stewing in its own juices. Hiram Johnson, governor from 1911 to 1917, helped institutionalize such populist devices as the initiative, referendum and recall. Eight decades later Silicon Valley helped democratize the personal computer.
And so, in the first 96 hours after Howard Kaloogian recently established the Web site recallgraydavis.com, he spent many hours in his San Diego County home doing telephone interviews with talk radio programs, many of whose listeners were in cars, on freeways congealed with congestion. Oh, California.
Recall efforts flourish like avocados in California. There have been 32 recall drives against California governors, including every governor since Edmund Brown in 1960. But no effort has made it to a vote. This one might, because even Davis' supporters dislike him, and because of the state's budget crisis. Its size astonishes the nation, and Californians are especially astonished because Davis said during last fall's campaign that all was well.
The deficit is at least $35 billion. So it may be about a third of the 50 states' estimated cumulative deficits, currently $90 billion or more.
The woes of the dot-com and high-tech sectors have disproportionately hurt California, and capital gains tax revenues are way down. Nevertheless, state revenues have risen 28 percent since 1998--which is not as fast as Davis has spent. To close the budget gap, which the state constitution requires, he will have to raise many taxes and fees and cut many programs, and every act will create potential recruits for the recall movement.
The crisis may make it possible to get the 1.2 million signatures considered necessary to be sure there are the 897,156 valid ones (12 percent of the votes cast in the last gubernatorial election) necessary to have a recall vote. When the recall petitions are certified, the campaign--currently there are several parallel efforts--will have 160 days to get the requisite signatures, this time employing petitions downloaded from the Internet. Then the state would have a 60- to 80-day window in which to hold the vote, which could come when the budget debate reaches a rolling boil this autumn and the public may be especially cranky.
Davis, in a remarkably limp self-defense, says a recall election would be too expensive, costing the state $25 million. Critics note that California's deficit is increasing at least $30 million a day.
Republicans, who lost every statewide race last November, might pay a steep price for the fun of dumping Davis. President Bush's chances of carrying California in November 2004, and Republican chances of defeating the hyperliberal Sen. Barbara Boxer, might be better if Californians nurture their anti-Davis grievances for two full years.
Also, replacement candidates for governor would appear on the recall ballot. It would be, to say no more, awkward for a Democrat to put his name there. And a welter of Republican and other candidates could result in a new governor thrust into the budget crisis with, say, 20 percent of the vote.
Winning re-election by just 47 percent to 42 percent over an opponent running his first campaign and running it badly, Davis got 1.4 million fewer votes than in 1998. His job approval rating has plummeted to 27 percent. But although he has governed both unsuccessfully and irresponsibly, the fact that he richly deserves disapproval, and that in some sense he may deserve to be recalled, does not mean that voters deserve to be able to recall him.
California is not a Circuit City store. A democracy with periodic elections should not have, regarding elected officials, a liberal exchange policy--any time, for any reason--for voters experiencing ``buyer's remorse.'' Californians deserve to live with the choice they made when they rehired him for four more years just four months ago.

Review: This article examines the vector of influence of the knights of the Order of St. John upon cultural and economic development of Malta and Maltese Archipelago. Status of the island before the arrival of the Order is being reviewed. The author demonstrates the process of development of Malta during the ruling of the Order, as well as main changes that turned the poor and struggling from pirate raids island into a pearl of European Christian culture of the Mediterranean world. Among the main changes are the following: growth of population, construction of new cities and ports, development of trade, medicine, and social wellness in general. The conclusion is made about the extensive role of the system of political administration and composition of political elite of the country from the perspective of its cultural and economic development. The knights, who perceived the island as citadel of Christianity and their struggle against the unfaithful, did all possible and necessary for its strengthening and progress.

Review: This article examines the problem of intra-elite conflicts in Ukraine during the period of 1991-2005. Special attention is given to the trends and peculiarities of the establishment of political elites in Ukraine. Within the framework of this research, the author notes that the struggle of various actors for political power in Ukraine was determined by a number of factors, including the history of the country that explains the emergence of powerful actors of regional scale and fragmented elites and fairly high cost of crushing the opposition, which led to a series of punishing agreements, and limitations from the political institutions. The article demonstrates that the fusion of business and politics in Ukraine poses a threat to domestic security of the nation and undermines the authorities' ability to democratically govern, since in majority of cases it is the economic interests that determine the political behavior, and interconnections between political players become hostages of agreements between oligarchs.

Review: The work is done in prosopographical genre. For the purposes of collective portrait of the Komsomol officials during the second half of the 1960s and the first half of the 1980-ies the personal records of 7 secretaries of the regional Committee, 41 secretaries of the town committees, 122 secretaries of the district committees of the Komsomol of the Tambov region (170 people) from the State Archive of Social-Political History of Tambov region are analyzed and created a database. This article presents the results of its processing.The list of required personal and business qualities of the first secretaries is compiled on the basis of 114 party and komsomol characteristics of heads of region, town and district committees of the Komsomol. The increased uniformity of characteristics, use of a large number of stamps and templates, citation of documents of the central and regional committees of the Komsomol on personnel policy are marked. The presence of well-deserved authority and respect among members, nonunion youth and party activists was leading among the most frequently mentioned qualities of candidates to the post of first secretary.According to the author, the activity of Komsomol organizations in 1965-1984 is characterized primarily by the dominance of command-and-control style of relations between the party and the Komsomol. Describing the body of first secretaries of this period, the author notes a sharp increase in educational level of the Komsomol leaders, the prevalence among them of agriculture experts and technical workers, the increase in the share of immigrants from the urban environment, the increase in the average age of the Komsomol officials. Analysis of the causes rotation allowed us to conclude that a consistently high proportion of the Komsomol leaders continued upward movement on nomenclature the stairs.
Skiperskikh, A. V.. Homo Politicus: Between Rebellion and Submission // Politics and Society. – 2014. – № 6. – P. 682-688. DOI: 10.7256/1812-8696.2014.6.12285.
Review: The author of the present article shares his thoughts on the choice between rebellion and submission made by human from time to time. Very often the choice made by man conflicts with the ruling authority which is interested in preventing de-legitimation by creating political institutions aimed at maintaining a consensus between the society and the government. However, these institutions cannot be all the way efficient because it is impossible to fully satisfy man's need in justice. The author shows there can be certain moral reasons for man choosing to rebel. Rebellion and submission are very topical issues due to the objectivity of the authority itself and its countersand as a dialectical opposition. By using the political hermeneutic method and addressing to the writings of political philosophers studying this problem, the author tries to understand the reasons of such a moral choice. The author underlines that opposition to all initiatives of the authority is unavoidable because opposition is an essential part of the authority as it is. A choice of a particular man to either rebel or submit is also related to a particular political situation triggering a certain strategy of man's behavior. Noteworthy that political transformations considerably increase chances for the radical model of behavior because the level of uncertainty grows and the hope for one's own resources becomes evident. Quite on the contrary, periods of political stability significantly increases the need for opposition making man choose conformal models of interaction with the government.

Review: The article includes analysis of the various concepts of cosmopolitan identity and forms of their practical implementation. It is shown that classical ideas of this matter are rather uniform, and they provide for cosmopolitan worldview and its identification markers as some ideas, which are more or less implemented in political practice. Most of the modern concepts of cosmopolitan identity are less uniform and they are based on current social and political reality. Some attitudes towards its nature are conflicted and the disputes become ideological. Analysis shows that the development of postmodern discourse of cosmopolitan identity contains a risk of losing its meaning. The goal of this article is to clarify it, and it is an important aim to establish which form of universalism characterizes the very nature of cosmopolitan worldview. Additionally, it is necessary to discover differences between the cosmopolitan identity and more narrow trans-national community identities.

Economic fallout of COVID-19 will only be resolved if we can get this new virus under control: Philip Cross on Global News
With the government having announced a significant fiscal stimulus to combat the spread of COVID-19, but will it be enough to help businesses and workers?
Speaking on Global News' The West Block, MLI Senior Fellow Philip Cross joined Goldy Hyder, President of the Canadian Business Council, and Mike Le Couteur to discuss the economic impacts of COVID-19 and if the government fiscal stimulus will be enough to mitigate the negative impacts on businesses and workers.
"I don't think we should be concerned with debt to GDP ratios at all. This is a healthcare crisis. It has economic implications and we should be aware of that. But fundamentally, we're not going to solve this with monetary and fiscal stimulus or economic policy, we have to get this virus under control," says Cross.
If Canada fails to contain the virus, no economic interventions will prevent Canada's economy from tumbling according to Cross. Healthcare and health outcomes should be the priority during this time.
Cross goes on to explain that we will not be spending our way out of this crisis. Interventions such as social distancing and ensuring proper washing of hands at little cost to the government, but will have the biggest impact on Canadian health outcomes.
Government spending should be focused on mitigating the negative economic impacts on Canadian workers and businesses. The upcoming federal budget will have to pivot as Canada's economy will suffer deep losses during this crisis. Pivoting the budget in a short amount of time will be a monumental task, however it is a necessary one according to Cross.
"This is a classic black swan. This came out of nowhere. Nobody was expecting this. The whole budget planning cycle was going into other priorities. But I think they're going to have to pivot. This is the first, second, and third economic problem this government has to deal with now. So they have to focus on that and that exclusively," says Cross.
