Staff update: celebrating Essex Lordes and Lady Anderson in their new positions!
We're happy to announce two staffing changes within SJF: the transitions of Essex Lordes from Project Manager to Grants Database Manager and Lady Anderson from Program Director to Director of Collective Capacity Building!
Essex Lordes, Grants Database Manager
Essex joined SJF in August of 2019 as a Project Manager, supporting curriculum development, facilitation, and grantmaking for SJF's Giving Projects. With a background in anti-violence advocacy and community organizing for social, economic, and transformative justice, Essex's expertise and focused and playful personality has brought so much to SJF. In his time with us, Essex has supported the 2018 Criminal Justice and 2019 Economic Justice Giving Projects and stepped up to the plate to lead 2020-21's Forced Migration & Displacement Giving Project.
Essex's inner nerd led him to a passion for mastering the complicated software we use for grant applications. This, coupled with his interest in connecting deeply with our grantee community and seeking out improved ways to support current and prospective grantees, made him the perfect candidate to be SJF's new Grants Database Manager! Here's what Essex had to say about his new role: "In my two+ years with SJF as a Project Manager, I've learned many crucial lessons on how social justice principles can transform philanthropy into a vehicle for social change, rather than a tool to reinforce white supremacy. I'm deeply grateful for the opportunity to expand on these lessons and support our grantee community in this new role!"
Lady Anderson, Director of Collective Capacity Building
Lady joined staff in June 2021 as SJF's Program Director. After eight eventful months and one strategic planning process, it was evident that Lady's contributions were better described by Director of Collective Capacity building. This new position, with responsibilities including supervising the management of our grantmaking and program departments among others, is one strategic change we hope will support both Lady's success at SJF and our overall mission.
In the words of our Interim Executive Director, Valériana Chikoti-Bandua Estes, "At SJF one of the many things we are exploring in our strategic planning is to review what structures are effective and what changes we need to make to encompass the direction in which we are going. In one of our meetings, we brought up the need to have our job titles match our responsibilities and the ways in which we are supporting our teams. Naturally when Lady shared her title change it made sense, as Lady shows up daily as a Director of Collective Capacity Building. She builds with those around her by examining the depth of our programming internally and externally, and does so while centering the need to have a collective voice.
I am honored to know Lady, brush shoulders with Lady and learn so much from her. She continues to show up as her whole self, as a truth teller who challenges us at SJF to think critically about being mindful of how we can work better with each other and communicate in a more meaningful way. She sets a tone that keeps us grounded and I really look forward to seeing how Lady will be contributing, building, and making an audacious difference in her new role."

Port of the Month: Port of Thessaloniki (Greece)
Port of the month PORTOPIA
This month, ESPO would like to present to you the Port of Thessaloniki. Located at the shores of the Thermaicos Gulf in Northern Greece, the Port of Thessaloniki is a multipurpose port with a rich history dating back to Classical Antiquity. Let's have a closer look at this interesting port!
ESPO: Can you briefly tell us about the Port of Thessaloniki? What are its main characteristics and challenges?
Port of Thessaloniki: The Port of Thessaloniki is located at the shores of the Thermaicos Gulf in Northern Greece. It constitutes a natural maritime gateway for the trade activities of the Balkan Peninsula and the broader area. Its advantageous strategic position is further strengthened by the fact that the Port of Thessaloniki is directly connected to Trans-European and regional transport networks.
Its infrastructure includes 6 piers with 6,200 meters of quays and has a berth depth up to 12 meters. The port is a multipurpose one and its basic services include handling of containers and conventional cargo, as well as serving passenger traffic, cruise and coastal shipping. The port operates a Free Trade Zone according to the EU Customs Code and serves mainly the transit trade of south-east Europe, as well as domestic cargoes.
The Port of Thessaloniki has a competitive position within the transit container and the transit non-containerised cargo market in south-eastern Europe compared to competitive ports in the Adriatic and Black Sea. However, in order to maintain this position and increase its market share, it has to address current needs as to achieve optimal operational performance levels in terms of service times, safety, security and costs and to implement all the necessary development steps, in terms of expansion of infrastructures, modernisation of equipment and improvement of access systems.
The Hellenic Republic Asset Development Fund (HRADF) has issued an international tender process for the sale of 67% of the shares of THESSALONIKI PORT AUTHORITY S.A. (ThPA S.A.), the company which has the right to operate the Port of Thessaloniki until 2051. Eight investors have qualified for participation in the second phase of the tender process. The tender process is estimated to be concluded in the coming months.
EPSO: The Port of Thessaloniki is the second largest container port in Greece. How do you see the container business evolving in the port? What are the main challenges?
Port of Thessaloniki: Today the port serves container traffic through the Container Terminal on Pier No 6. The existing throughput is 350,000 TEUs/year (the maximum volume ever achieved was 440,000 TEUs in 2007). Container throughput consists mainly of domestic traffic and transit traffic to the northern neighbouring countries. Transshipment traffic constitutes a small portion of the total cargo throughput.
During the last few years, container throughput has shown a stable growing trend. The container transport demand of the port hinterland market is expected to increase significantly over the coming decades, particularly given the relatively low existing levels of the national economies of the neighbouring countries. Their level of integration into the world trading system has been steady. In addition, the development of the railway networks will create new market opportunities, including central Europe, as well as more distant south-eastern European areas.
Transit container traffic constitutes the most important long-term future "opportunity" for the port. The port strategically aims to exploit the aforementioned "opportunity" by expanding the infrastructure of its container terminal as to increase capacity, by upgrading and optimally utilising equipment and container terminal processes. Our master plan sets out objectives considered essential for the fulfillment of the port strategy, over the period 2015-2040. Our aim is to proactively contribute to the sustainable development of the port and the region.
ESPO: The Port of Thessaloniki is located on the Orient-East Med Core Network Corridor of the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T)? How has the port benefited of being part of this Corridor?
Port of Thessaloniki: Routing choices and to some extent port choices are strongly dependent on hinterland transport conditions.
Today the reliability of the "total route" has become increasingly important to those in the supply chain making the routing decisions.
Given the above considerations, with the realisation of the planned projects along the corridor, the port's competitive position is undoubtedly enhanced.
It should be noted that the study for the new direct railway connection of the 6th pier of the port to the national network, as project related to the TEN-T, is approved to be funded.
ESPO: The Port of Thessaloniki functions as an important transit hub in the Aegean and Black Sea Area, serving also other Balkan countries such as Serbia, the Republic of Macedonia, Albania and Montenegro. In view of this, can you briefly describe how the port is connected to the hinterland?
The Port of Thessaloniki is located at the crossroads of major European networks and serves a greater geographical area that, depending on the distance and the opportunities that exist, can be divided into two zones: the "direct" market (northern Greece, FYROM, south-west Bulgaria, south Serbia, south Albania and Kosovo), and the "secondary" market that includes the rest of Bulgaria, Serbia and Albania, as well as Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro, Croatia and Romania. The three neighbouring countries to the North are Albania, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and Bulgaria while the other countries are located even more to the North. The port's catchment area has a population of about 20 million.
Thessaloniki is a node of TEN-T and it is linked via road and rail with FYROM and Bulgaria, while with Albania only via road. In addition, the port is connected through national transport networks to the Adriatic Sea (west), as well as to Turkey (east).
ESPO: In 2013, China revealed the "One Belt, One Road" initiative, containing two dimensions. The first is the Silk Road Economic Belt, which connects China with central Asia, west Asia, and Europe via land. The second one is the Maritime Silk Road, which links China with South East Asia, the Middle East, and Europe via sea. How could this initiative be of importance for the Port of Thessaloniki?
Port of Thessaloniki: There is no doubt that Greece is an important actor in the context of China's OBOR strategy. Greece is seen as the European bridgehead for the Maritime Silk Road. Thessaloniki offers the potential of becoming one of the most strategic shipping gateways to south-east and central Europe. In view of this and the perspective of the development of the railway axis connecting the Port of Thessaloniki with the northern Balkan countries and central Europe, the port can play a pivotal role in the growth of intermodal transport in the area.
ESPO: The cruise and ferry business plays an important role in the Port of Thessaloniki. How is the passenger business evolving in your port? What are the main challenges?
Port of Thessaloniki: Cruise is a big challenge for the port, taking into account the cruise market trends and the recent developments in the Eastern Mediterranean. The existence of a hinterland with high potential to attract the interest of cruise operators (archaeological sites, areas of outstanding natural beauty, tourist poles and the urban complex of Thessaloniki) create a positive outlook of cruise activity. However, it should be noted that recent troubling political developments in neighbouring countries, as well as the general unstable political environment in our wider region, pose a challenge regarding the cruise industry that cannot be tackled by a single economic entity, such as the Port of Thessaloniki. This may result in re-evaluating our relative aims and adjusting at least our short and medium-term related strategy.
The intention of ThPA S.A. of increasing its cruise market share is reflected in the provisions of our master plan, where a new modern Cruise Terminal is foreseen.
In addition to the objectives related to the cruise market, ThPA S.A. aims to further strengthen the ferry routes to and from the Aegean Sea islands. Particular emphasis is also placed in establishing a Ro-Pax connection with the Port of Izmir (Turkey).
The establishment of a trade corridor between Thessaloniki and Izmir has high potential, taking into account the strategic location of the two ports, their importance in the transport of passengers and goods, and the fact that Turkey is an important trade partner for Greece as well as for the EU.
ESPO: The Port of Thessaloniki is embedded within the city of Thessaloniki. The relationship with the local community is thus of paramount importance. How is the port engaging itself towards the local community? Can you briefly describe the added value of the port to the city and the region?
Port of Thessaloniki: The port, historically linked with the city of Thessaloniki since 316 BC, has served as the core of the city's and the region's development over the centuries. The quantitative analysis of port throughput data and regional economic indicators reflects a significant correlation between the growth of the region's economic activity and the port operation. The port constitutes a trading route for approximately 30% of central Macedonia's GDP and 5% of the country's GDP. Its role is important both for imports and exports, and also for the growth of productive and commercial potential in international value chains. This long-standing co-existence constitutes the paramount importance of creating "local value" through various multi-layer initiatives. The challenge is to formulate initiatives with a positive impact on the region's economy and trade, while at the same time averting the negative environmental aspects. In order to achieve this, we try to engage all port stakeholders, build consensus among them and finally create synergetic impacts that will increase trade, the stimulation of new business and most importantly generate benefits for the community as a whole.
The port-city interaction is not limited only to the creation of the necessary conditions of trade increase, economic development and related sectoral specificities. To a great extent it is complemented by the molding of the city's identity. This is achieved aesthetically and architecturally by incorporating, within the city, the traditional port buildings and warehouses and culturally by establishing dynamic social activities within the port premises. The 1st pier is considered as a cultural and recreational events centre, since it accommodates three museums — cinema, photography and contemporary art — as well as the International Film Festival of Thessaloniki. The prestige of the port is further enhanced by the blending of its traditional characteristics with the contemporary events that take place in the city.
ESPO: What are the Port of Thessaloniki's environmental priorities?
Port of Thessaloniki: The protection of the environment, sustainability and the continuous improvement of environmental performance has been a top-level priority for the Port of Thessaloniki. We are fully aware that transparent port environmental management offers a multitude of benefits not only to the port itself but also to the surrounding urban area, which is the second largest in Greece, and to the internationally recognised and protected RAMSAR and NATURA 2000 ecosystems that are in close proximity.
The Port of Thessaloniki is fully compliant with the national and international environmental regulations.
From 2003 till 2014, the Port of Thessaloniki was accredited according to the PERS environmental management standard and it's a member of the EcoPorts network. Since 2015 the Port of Thessaloniki applies an environmental management system in accordance to ISO14001:2004 for all international standard port facilities and processes.
ThPA S.A. continuously invests in educating and training all levels of personnel in order to keep up with the rules and targets set by the ISO14001 standard and it has incorporated in its master plan a set of future projects, investments and works that will further reduce the environmental impact of the operations carried out.
The port has enacted an "Environmental Monitoring Mechanism" through which all the environmental parameters are regularly controlled. The monitoring results are posted and are publicly available on the port's web page.
The Port of Thessaloniki has high-standard reception facilities for ship-generated waste and cargo residues, as well as a strict waste management plan. Recycling of materials and reduction of product waste is a top priority in our environmental agenda.
ESPO: ESPO is a partner of PORTOPIA, an FP7 project that aims to measure port performance. What is the Port of Thessaloniki's approach for measuring port performance?
Port of Thessaloniki: A KPI system facilitates the effort to asses, manage and improve the current situation of the port.
Performance measurement and target setting are important for the growth process and they facilitate the achievement of strategic or operational objectives. In view of this and in relation to the fact that the port is a multipurpose one, we monitor cargo volumes, vessel statistics, financial indices, environmental indices and operations efficiency.
The company's financial results and the relevant indices are regularly published, since ThPA S.A. is listed to the Athens Stock Exchange.

A Recipe for Success: Popular Dishes to Add to Your Restaurant Menu
These types of comfort foods may be just the flavors you need if you are looking to spice up your restaurant menu
While dining with a friend last week I asked her what her all-time go-to dish would be as she contemplated ordering a side of mac and cheese or mashed potatoes, a pair I have seen her blend together on many occasions as her meal. Our server overheard our conversation and immediately chimed in "Thanksgiving Dinner!" as her pick, explaining that if the only food she could consume was made up of the traditional turkey day spread, she would be more than satisfied.
According to CNN's 50 Greatest Dishes in America, they would agree that the number one dish in their countdown is not just one item but includes the entire holiday feast. Although the turkey has been known to steal the show as it is the main attraction during the annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and acts as a centerpiece at the dinner table, people crave its sister sides just as much. The entire day would not be the same without the mashed potatoes drizzled in gravy with cranberry sauce, string bean casserole and your Grandmother's homemade cornbread… to start at least.
Now that I've got your mouths watering, let me explain why I've just made you nostalgic for warm pumpkin pie five months too soon.
These types of comfort foods may be just the flavors you need if you are looking to spice up your restaurant menu. A report from the LATimes states that according to the Institute for Food Technologists, how something smells is responsible for 80 percent of your customers dining experience. The ingredients used in a Thanksgiving dinner smell that good together because they have similar flavor components, hence why we can't just choose one favorite dish. This must be why the leftovers taste amazing days later, even when everything is piled into the same tupperware container.
Maybe since most of us only indulge on this cuisine once a year, making our stomachs rumble at the thought of digging in to a 10-course meal, naming Thanksgiving dinner as the top American food dish may not be exactly fair. But these other more common menu items that scored highly on CNN's popularity scale have proven to be fan favorites, with many restaurants dedicating their entire menus to just one type of fare.
Hot Dogs, Pizza, Philly Cheesesteak, BLT, Barbecue Ribs, Chicken and Waffles, and Lobster Rolls are just a few foods that have come a long way since their inception. Over the years, chefs have perfected their twist on the classic meals, causing debates on which part of the country does it best. (For the record, pizza and bagels should only be served in New York, just saying.) Famous treats like the Coney Island Hot Dog – which first appeared in Jackson, Michigan, not New York in 1917 – were studied and crafted by cooks who put their own spin on the original creation, many winning the title as the top dog in the Garden State by NJ.com polls. And while still named "Philly" Cheesesteaks, the quick-service sandwich has branched out to gain notoriety outside of Pennsylvania. One location in nearby Camden, New Jersey, Donkey's Place, specializing in cheesesteaks, has been dubbed as one of "The Best Sandwiches in America" by several publications, and featured in an episode of the late Anthony Bourdain's show "Parts Unknown."
What is it about these foods that people adore? Maybe it's the fact that the harder we try to recreate our favorite dish, it never comes out the way we remember it in the restaurant. We'll forever be like Spongebob Squarepants racking our brains trying to figure out the recipe to the beloved Crabby Patty. Simple plates like the cheeseburger will always be a copycat trend that every restaurant formulates differently so they never taste the same. Even how we eat it has changed as many restaurants serve mini versions of the burger as appetizers called "sliders," coupled with a plethora of options to eat a potato (Fried? Mashed? How about roasted?).
Somehow these staple foods have continued to evolve, and Americans just keep on ordering them. By introducing these basic entrees, you can then decide how to make enhancements that would separate your meal from any other restaurant's style, boosting a little flare to your menu. You have the knowledge of what foods people desire, now just figure out how to incorporate that into your menu in a unique way. Many people choose a restaurant by listening to their stomachs and what it is in the mood for, so by creating a stand-out menu, it will become your food that they are craving. If you can't choose which dishes to add, just fuse a whole Thanksgiving feast, that seems to work too.

I mean, it's October, sooooo you're pretty much too late to be planting for autumn goodness now.
But this is the time of year that everybody WANTS an autumn garden, so here's your preparation list for next year.
All of the plants below will thrive in a British climate, and many of them will deliver all year round. But these are the plants that really come alive in autumn, bringing shades of ochre, khaki, orange, red, brown, yellow. There's nothing like an autumnal stroll in England, and bringing that into your own garden isn't as difficult as you might think.
Not to be confused with that affliction of the lower back, hardy plumbago is a gorgeous plant which flowers blue from late summer and descends into a myriad of reds by autumn. It grows low and can be difficult to contain in beds, but it's a beautiful autumnal addition to your garden which forms dense mounds. If you want to keep it isolated, it will survive happily in pots but looks at its best tumbling over edges.
Go big or go home with this strain of the Salvia plant. This can grow up to 1.5m tall, with dramatic spikes of blue (again) flowers. This is one to add unique colour, as it will retain its lighter colour throughout autumn and will continue blooming until frost. Keep it unshaded and in permeable soil, and keep an eye on it over the colder, wetter months. It can survive, but you may want to clip in summer.
This clematis resists the urge to climb, and instead manifests itself like a bushy shrubs. Its stems collect densely and form mounds of foliage, again offering a brighter splash of colour similar to hyacinths. It will thrive in autumnal conditions and survive through winter, providing it has similar conditions to the Salvia.
This Bugbane will bloom in white, almost bottlebrush-like, flowers with splashes of pink. Delicately balanced above the dark violet foliage beneath, this flora will bring a very sweet scent to an autumnal garden which can feel damp and heavy. If you're able to keep it in moist soil with a little sun, the roots won't dry out and no pests will trouble it. An easy win for the later months.

DaBaby may have been forgiven by the LGBTQ+ nonprofit Relationship Unleashed for his homophobic comments at Rolling Loud Miami 2021. But according to his latest interview on the Full Send Podcast, one fast food giant felt the "Rockstar" rapper's remarks were too much of a whopper to let slide.
Burger King was reportedly working out a deal with DaBaby to give him his own meal, similar to partnerships that artists like Saweetie, Travis Scott, and J Balvin had with McDonald's. "I shot a commercial for it and everything," he told FSP hosts Kyle Forgeard and Bob Menery. It was to be called the "Jonathan Kirk Meal," and the idea behind using DaBaby's true name was to promote "the real meal, real ingredients, that was the whole theme: the real."

DaBaby's homophobic statements didn't only get him booted from "The Home of the Whopper," though. The "Suge" performer also found himself chastised by Sir Elton John, and he was also taken off the remix of last year's chart-topping single "Levitating," by Dua Lipa.
But if there's one thing Jonathan Kirk loves doing, it's giving a controversial take. At one point, the hosts even thought to ask DaBaby what he thought about former President Donald Trump. "Do I f*ck with Trump? Now? Hell yeah!" the rapper answered. "Trump is a gangsta," he added. "He let Kodak [Black] out."
Despite his divisive personality, Trump has consistently found a band of support from certain hip-hop artists. Kodak Black, Lil Wayne, and Kanye West have all come out at various times to endorse the former POTUS. But it seems DaBaby is taking a chapter out of the A$AP Rocky incident, and he has his own personal reasons.
"I need him to get my cousin out…yeah California," DaBaby explained. "If you need a new campaign partner Trump when you come back around, holla at me, man. I mean, I can swap it out and get my cousin out for sure. He's a political prisoner."

IBA Issues New Directive to Radio, TV Stations
May 14, 2019 Chris Phiri Zambia No comments
The Independent Broadcasting Authority (IBA) has issued a new directive that all radio and television stations in the country should now submit broadcast recordings to the Authority every two weeks.
The IBA, in a statement issued by its director general Josephine Mapoma, stated that the Authority had inspectors that over the years relied on post monitoring of stations since IBA was not present in all districts where broadcasting stations exist.
"The public may wish to know that one of the functions of the Authority is to enforce the compliance of broadcasting with the conditions of the licences issued under the Act…Therefore, to ease the monitoring, the Authority now requires stations to submit recordings every two weeks. This directive is with effect from 15th May, 2019. The recordings to be submitted shall consist of: I. All discussion programmes, including paid for programmes (where applicable) II. All talk shows (where applicable) III. All news bulletins and news analysis (where applicable); and IV. All musical programs," Ms Mapoma stated. "Other types of content such as movies and dramas among others shall be requested for on the need basis."
She stated that this new directive was also pursuant to Section 38 of the Independent Broadcasting Authority (IBA) (Principal) Act No. 17 of 2002.
"The act provides 'A broadcasting Licensee shall keep and store sound and video recordings of all programmes broadcast or re-broadcast for a minimum period of three months after the date of transmission … or for such further period as may be directed by the Board…, and on demand by the Board produce such material that has been broadcast for examination or reproduction'," Ms Mapoma stated and warned that editing of the recordings to alter the original content would constitute a breach.
She has revealed that correspondence with all radio and television stations on this new directive had since commenced by mail.
Ms Mapoma further said all radio and television stations were being asked to submit their editorial polices to the Authority if they have not yet done so.
She stated that this is in accordance with Section 22 (5) (d) of the IBA (Amendment) Act of 2010.
"…without Prejudice to the generality of Subsection 9i), the conditions of the broadcasting licence may – require the licensee or any other person concerned in providing any service authorised by the licence to furnish to the Authority such documents, accounts, returns, estimates and other information as the Board considers necessary for the purpose of exercising or performing the powers and functions of the Authority under this Act," stated Ms Mapoma.

Naby Keita and Emil Forsberg remain "comfortable" at RB Leipzig despite continued speculation linking the duo with moves away, head coach Ralph Hasenhuttl says.
Liverpool are considering making a club-record bid for Keita after seeing an initial offer of £57 million rejected.
The Bundesliga side are determined to hold onto the 22-year-old Guinea international, having informed the Reds that he is not available at any price. However, Goal reported last week that he will reiterate his desire to join Jurgen Klopp's team in his next talks with club officials.
Meanwhile winger Forsberg is a long-term target for AC Milan, who have added a host of players in the current transfer window.
Hasenhuttl is bullish about the club's chances of retaining their star players, though, insisting Keita and Forsberg are eager to get the new season underway.
"You can see that they feel comfortable here and are looking forward to the new season," Hasenhuttl told Kicker. "They know very well what they have here.
"It's a huge compliment for us that we awoke such desires from other teams, but it's not the general idea of our path to allow players to leave with the first offer we receive.
"Our goal is to become a large and well-established club and that is what we have done this summer, a significant step."

The lines are multiple fractures that runs like patterns from the top to the bottom. Ancient geologic traces, ash grey with touches of greens where the moss is starting to grow. It is a very slow explosion, spanning over centuries probably. Something is pushing from within. Sometime it grew too fast, or dried? The white flesh is laid bare, revealing the thickness of the fibrous material. Here they are cracks, with darker shades, plateaus ending with abrupt cliffs only to start immediately again.
Then black, a silky powdery black, sitting like a thin layer over the gap of a nice neat trench. The trench meanders mindlessly through this tortuous geography, ignoring directions and signs. And it meets another trench, and another, countless lines! Together they go, executing an elegant ballet of obscure characters, combining, departing, ending and starting somewhere else. Every now and then a clear circular yellow stain pierces the bark. A glimpses of fresh wood covered with candle wax methodically dispersed, mapping the surface regularly. And there it is, a sudden cut, sprouts of greens growing at the feet of the log.

Police arrest suspected cultist, robbery kingpin
in City Beats
The police have arrested a man believed to be a notorious cultist and armed robbery kingpin.
Segun Kazeem alias No Case was arrested following information by his younger brother, Femi, who was caught attacking a woman at Ejigbo on August 30.
Femi was said to have used a gun-like stick to dispossess his victim of her hand bag and other belongings before he was apprehended.
Based on his information, the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) Olabisi Okuwobi, led a team of detectives to arrest No Case, at a Secondary school where he attempted to snatch Permanent Voter's Card (PVC) machines.
The police were said to have conducted a search at Kazeem's residence, where a locally-made pistol and two extended cartridges were discovered in the ceiling. Substances suspected to be Marijuana were recovered.
It was learnt that the police were under pressure to release the suspects. Sources said one of those who went to the station to bail Kazeem was also arrested.
"They confessed to be part of the gang that usually rob people early in the morning and late in the evening. They equally confessed to have killed in the past and very recently at Egbe.
"They mentioned numerous names of their gang members including the ones that have guns as well as their spiritual head who is an OPC leader."
Police spokesman Chike Oti, a Chief Superintendent (CSP) yesterday said investigation was ongoing.

Red in Buddhist Color Symbolism
Red throughout the development of civilization has had connotations with life and those things considered sacred in some way. It has developed as synonymous with the preservation of our life force, as in the symbols of the Red Cross and Red Crescent. Danger signs and signals are also often surrounded in red to indicate warning or threat to life. Similarly, fire has two facets. It can be a warming lifesaver or an uncontrollable destroyer.

The color red is auspicious in Tibetan culture. It is a sacred color, one of the colors of the five Buddhas and the color of the monk's garments. It is believed to have protective qualities and is therefore often used to paint sacred buildings. In neighboring China, coral is a symbol of longevity, and in India it is thought to prevent hemorrhages. Hans Weihreter records beliefs about coral in western Tibetan cultures which center around blood. Coral is said to strengthen blood, and act beneficially for the menstruation of women.
The symbolism of the color red shines forth in Buddhist aesthetics in the type of paintings known as red thangkas. A style requiring high technical virtuosity, all elements making up these painting are subsumed in the overall red field characteristic of this special genre of thangka. Red is the color of powerful rituals and deeds. It is the color of passion, transmuted to discriminating wisdom. These are especially relevant in especially vigorous meditation rituals requiring equally potent meditative tools.
Another dimension regarding the color red is the belief surrounding coral, the semi-precious stone which is a gift from our mother ocean to remind us of our eternal foundation. It is actually composed of the skeletons of little animals into reef-plant - like with hard branches. It reminds us of our bones - hard and durable. Coral teaches us form, also flow and flexibility within form. It lives and breathes in the sea but its roots are anchored in the earth. It is one of the five sacred stones of the Tibetan Buddhists, and symbolizes the energy of life force.
Coral is believed to be a protection against the evil eye. In a curious belief it was supposed to lighten in color and become pale if the wearer were ill or even exposed to illness - or were given poison. The coral would then darken as the wearer recovered. The same attribute was associated with a woman's menstrual periods, which the coral was supposed to "share" with women. Coral was also associated with stopping the flow of blood from a wound, curing madness, imparting wisdom, and calming storms.
In Buddhism coral is believed to be generally good, and the Tibetans and Tibeto-Nepalese think of it as a good investment, and believe that the person who wears coral will have success in life.
In the earliest centuries of Buddhism, statues of the Buddha were not used. Instead, Buddhist art consisted of images symbolizing the Buddha and his teachings, such as the lotus, the Wheel of the Law, the Bodhi tree and the Buddha's footprints.
Eventually, the Buddha image became one of the most popular representations in Buddhism, but these early symbols remain important and are frequently used to this day. They are especially important in Theravada Buddhist countries like Sri Lanka and Thailand.
As Buddhism spread, Buddhist symbolism was enriched by the cultures it came into contact with. This is especially true of Buddhism in Tibet, which has developed a rich symbolic tradition. The central symbols of Tibetan Buddhism are the Eight Auspicious Symbols, known in Sanskrit as Ashtamangala (ashta meaning eight and mangala meaning auspicious). The Eight Auspicious Symbols are printed on Tibetan prayer flags, incorporated into mandalas and thangkas, and used in other forms of ritual art. Another important symbol is the Wheel of Life, a symbolic representation of the universe as understood by Tibetan Buddhists.
Other important types of symbolism in Buddhism include colors, especially the five colors of white, yellow, red, blue and green, and symbolic hand gestures called mudras. The articles in this section explore these Buddhist symbols, providing information on their history, meaning and use in Buddhism today. (For an introduction and quick guide to Buddhist colors, see our Chart of Buddhist Color Symbolism.)

In Buddhist practice, singing bowls are used as a support for meditation, trance induction and prayer. For example, Chinese Buddhists use the singing bowl to accompany the wooden fish during chanting, striking it when a particular phrase in a sutra, mantra or hymn is sung. In Japan and Vietnam, singing bowls are similarly used during chanting and may also mark the passage of time or signal a change in activity.

Использование велосипеда в качестве транспорта (Utility cycling) — концепция, которая рассматривает велосипед преимущественно как транспортное средство, а не как спортивный снаряд или средство для развлечения. Использование велосипеда для перевозки людей и грузов — это самое распространённое применение велосипеда в мире.

Обзор
Использование велосипеда в качестве транспортного средства обычно включает в себя поездки на короткие и средние дистанции (несколько километров, примерно 3-15 км в одну сторону). Это понятие включает в себя ежедневные поездки на работу (или на учебу), а также поездки по делам (шопинг, встречи с друзьями и знакомыми, общественные мероприятия и т.д.)

Так же к этому понятию относится использование велосипеда для коммерческой деятельности, например доставка товаров или услуг. Во многих городах велокурьеры являются привычным явлением, а грузовые велосипеды способны конкурировать с грузовыми автомобилями и микроавтобусами, особенно при доставке мелких грузов в густонаселённых районах. Велотакси могут обеспечивать услугу перевозки пассажиров, подобно такси и маршруткам.

Повседневное использование велосипеда в качестве транспортного средства имеет экономические, экологические и социальные преимущества. Политика развития велотранспорта в городах обусловлена следующими причинами: улучшение здоровья населения, улучшение экономических показателей городских кварталов, сокращения числа дорожных заторов, снижение уровня загрязненности воздуха и шума, улучшение безопасности дорожного движения, улучшение качества жизни, повышение мобильности и социальных взаимодействий.

Велосипеды и экипировка
Комфортный велосипед имеет множество приспособлений, которые обеспечивают удобство для ежедневного использования. Защита цепи и защита спиц заднего колеса исключают возможность испачкать или порвать одежду. Подножка позволяет припарковать велосипед не прислоняя его к опоре. Передний багажник или велокорзина удобны для частых перевозов грузов. Велобагажник позволяет также позволяет перевозить грузы.

Различные велосумки и боксы позволяют позволяют осуществлять перевозку грузов или заниматься шоппингом. Детские велокресла и велоприцепы позволяют родителям перевозить детей.

Факторы, влияющие на популярность велосипедных перевозок
Комбинация множества факторов оказывает влияние на популярность велосипедных перевозок. Главная причина, по которой велосипедный транспорт популярен в странах с развивающейся экономикой, — покупка велосипеда более доступна жителям, чем покупка автомобиля. В странах с развитой экономикой, где у людей есть возможность выбора способа передвижения, ситуация зависит от множества влияющих факторов.

Популярность использования велосипедов зависти от: градостроительной политики (качество велосипедной инфраструктуры), возможности безопасного хранения велосипеда, уровня интеграции с другими видами транспорта (для поездок на длинные расстояния), имиджа велосипеда и автомобиля в обществе, ландшафта и климата, расстояний между точками назначения, стоимости поездок относительно других видов транспорта. Поскольку в развитых странах велосипеду приходится конкурировать с другими видами перемещений, такими как личный автомобиль, общественный транспорт и перемещение пешком, то нельзя рассматривать преимущества и недостатки использования велосипеда обособленно, а можно говорить о факторах, которые делают использование велосипеда более или менее привлекательным.

The Salesians of Don Bosco (or the Salesian Society, officially named the Society of St. Francis de Sales) is a Roman Catholic Latin Rite religious institute founded in the late nineteenth century by Italian Priest Saint John Bosco to help poor children during the Industrial Revolution. The institute is named after Francis de Sales, an early-modern bishop from Geneva. The Society has its headquarters at Rome, Italy. It has a large network worldwide, having more than 17,000 members in 2,711 houses. It is the third-largest missionary organization in the world.
The Salesians of Don Bosco are headed by the Rector Major and the Society's General Council; each of the ninety-four geographical provinces is headed by a Provincial. These officers serve six-year terms; the Rector Major and the members of the General Council are elected by the Chapter General, which meets every six years or upon the death of the Rector Major. Each local Salesian community is headed by a superior, called a Rector (or more commonly, "Director"), who is appointed for a three-year term and can be renewed for a second three-year term. The current Rector Major of the Salesians of Don Bosco is the Very Reverend Father Ángel Fernández Artime.

The Detroit Tigers play in Comerica Park which opened in 2000 seating 40,950. This is one of the newer major league parks and is similar in amenities. It has a concourse below the upper level seating where you can stand and watch the game. Down the 1st baseline is a separate 2nd level seating area that we feel is really 3rd level seating. The artwork in and around the field is really great if you like tigers. Outside you have huge tiger statues and around the edges of the building are tiger heads each holding a baseball in its mouth. The children's merry-go-round has only tigers on it. Inside on the concourse are displays showing each decade of Tiger baseball history. In center field are statues of the Tiger baseball players who are in the Hall of Fame. On top of the scoreboard are more tigers. In the area above the aisle and below the concourse on the first level are individual padded wooden chairs with a small table between each two seats. You have a good view of downtown Detroit and the program tells you what buildings you can see. The Tigers were playing the Kansas City Royals and were defeated 5-1. The box score was Royals R-5, H-8, E-0 and Tigers R-1, H-5, E-0. The field lines are RF-330', RC-365', CF-420', LC-370', and LF-343'. Today was United Auto Workers day at the game and the attendance was pretty good in the less expensive seats. The different union groups were passing out goodies outside the stadium before and after the game. There was not an extensive menu at the concession stands. There was a food court located around the merry-go-round and a picnic area in right field adjacent to the foul pole. There seemed to be a lot of small stands on the concourse selling beer. There are fountains in centerfield that are used when a Tiger's player hits a homerun. There is a small ferris wheel with baseballs for the children to sit in. There were two women dressed as clowns who painted the children's faces so they would look like a tiger. Paws is the mascot. The last row shows old Tiger Stadium and two plaques still on the side.

Tensile behaviour of unsaturated compacted clay soils — A direct assessment method
Lookup NU author(s): Dr Ross Stirling, Dr Paul Hughes, Dr Colin Davie, Professor Stephanie Glendinning
This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License (CC BY-NC-ND).
This paper presents a new method for testing the behaviour of soils placed under tensile load and demonstrates its suitability for testing a number of soil types under various conditions including saturation, compaction and stabilisation. Validation of the results obtained for the soils at relatively low saturation has been conducted using the established Brazilian (indirect) test for measuring the tensile strength of brittle materials. A fair comparison has been found and the results highlight the limited applicability of the Brazilian method to soils at very low water contents at which the tensile failure criterion has been assumed using this methodology. Optical characterisation of the performance of both testing methods has also been conducted using Digital Image Correlation. The consistent, accurate measurement of directly induced tensile strains using the proposed new method has been confirmed, verifying its capability to apply a direct tensile stress in the absence of shearing, a problem commonly associated with other tensile testing methods. The developed technique has then been used to investigate the water content – tensile strength relationship for compacted, unsaturated soils and offers significant advantages in the characterisation of clay soils subjected to variable climatic loading.

The Bishop Elect
The Church in Wales has made the following announcement….
New Bishop of Monmouth Elected
The Archdeacon of Rochdale was today (Thurs) elected as the next Bishop of Monmouth.
The Venerable Cherry Vann secured the necessary two-thirds majority vote from members of the Electoral College on the last day of its meeting at Newport Cathedral.
The announcement was made by the Archbishop of Wales, John Davies, President of the Electoral College.
He said, "I am looking forward enormously to working Cherry. She has a huge amount that she will be able to contribute to the life, not only to the Diocese of Monmouth, but also to the Church in Wales.
"One area I know is very close to her heart is the church's ministry in post-industrial areas where community life, and church life in particular perhaps, has suffered enormously. The diocese, a little while ago, appointed a new archdeacon with responsibility for those areas, but having a bishop with great experience of them will be a huge morale boost for them."
Bishop Elect Vann said the challenges facing churches in south-east Wales were the same as those in the north-west of England. She said, "The towns around Manchester, Oldham, Rochdale and Ashton are significantly challenged, both economically and in terms of church life. We've done some statistics, and a very, very small percentage of the population are going to our churches. This is something that we have been working hard to address in the Manchester area and I look forward to bringing some of the wisdom and knowledge I've gained from there to Newport and the Diocese of Monmouth.
"It struck me when I read the diocesan profile how similar Monmouth Diocese is to Manchester, on a smaller scale, but the challenges are the same, the demographics are the same and it's really good to be here to lead the people of Newport in the next challenges that lie ahead."
Originally from Leicestershire, Bishop Elect Vann has served as Archdeacon of Rochdale, in the Diocese of Manchester, for the past 11 years. She trained for ministry at Westcott House, Cambridge, and was ordained as a deacon in 1989. Among the first women to be ordained as a priest in the Church of England in 1994, she has spent her entire ministry so far in the Diocese of Manchester, in Flixton, Bolton and Farnworth. She is also an honorary canon of Manchester Cathedral and a former chaplain to deaf people.
Ms Vann holds senior posts in the governance of the Church of England. She has been Prolocutor of the Lower House of the Convocation of York since 2013 and is an ex-officio member of the Archbishops' Council.
A talented pianist, Ms Vann is both an Associate of the Royal College of Music (ARCM) and a Graduate of the Royal Schools of Music. She conducts the Bolton Chamber Orchestra.
Ms Vann will be the Bishop Elect until the appointment is formally confirmed by the Archbishop at a Sacred Synod service. She will be then be consecrated as bishop at Brecon Cathedral – the seat of the current Archbishop – and enthroned as the 11th Bishop of Monmouth at Newport Cathedral.

The Electoral College is made up of representatives from all six Welsh dioceses and the bishops. The 'home' diocese – in this case, Newport – is represented by six lay people and six clergy and the other five dioceses by three lay people and three clergy each. It has 47 members in total.
Its discussions are confidential. Candidates for election are nominated at the meeting, discussed and voted on by ballot. If they secure a two-thirds majority they are declared Bishop Elect.

Did Snap just, well, snap?
The high-flying parent company of Snapchat, which debuted last week on the public markets and which rose a heady 44 percent in its first day of trading, backtracked a bit, sliding 12 percent on its third day of trading. The stock ended the day on Monday (March 6) at $23.77, which is below the $24 that marked the opening trade on Thursday.
TechCrunch noted that the latest close still is leagues above the $17 IPO price. However, that relatively profitable trading would have been available only to private investors. Sources cited by TechCrunch mused that investors may have been starting to focus on the fundamentals of the company, which has been losing money even as sales have been growing in the double digits.
The $3.4 billion raised out of the gate, noted TechCrunch, was regarded as a positive harbinger of things to come in the tech world, with open arms greeting unicorns that make the leap from private to publicly traded vehicles. The question, though, is whether such euphoria will last long. TechCrunch stated that in some cases, firms can come to market and raise less capital than may have been doled out privately, or at valuations that would represent a step down from previous fundraising activity.
As far as Snap is concerned, the app has a loyal following. ComScore has said that as many as 70 percent of 18-year-olds to 24-year-olds in the United States use the app, with 158 million users across the globe taking billions of snaps daily.


You can find the answers to your questions below.
Our team is dedicated to solving your lock related issues.
Why should we lock during daytime?
Some people find it strange to lock their homes during the day but our experts remind you that most intrusions take place in broad daylight. If you want to leave the windows open and you are at the ground floor, it's best to put rails or motion detectors. It's important to keep all door locks secured.
What's the best way to ensure home security?
The golden rule is to combine different methods and the basics is deadbolt installation in all entry points. Don't leave any windows or doors without locks and make sure they're secured. On top of that you can install alarm systems, motion detectors, put lights in the yard and make sure these systems are upgraded.
Why isn't my ignition key turning smoothly?
There could be lint, dust or dirt inside the ignition or it could be damaged. Alternatively, the key may be bent or chipped.
Why is it hard to turn the car key inside the ignition?
Well, there are several possible causes for that. Lint and debris could be built up inside. In this case, cleaning and lubrication will help to solve the problem. It is also possible for the key's shank to be bent, and then it should be repaired or replaced timely. If the ignition itself malfunctions, it should be fixed or replaced.

Woman Amasses Thousands Of YouTube Followers By Gorging On Junk Food
Fabio Mattison (Collect/ PA Real Life)
Gorging on junk food for her 8,000 strong following of YouTube fans in Mukbang videos has not only cured a former office administrator's decade-long eating disorder, it is also giving her a healthy alternative income.
One of the first U.K. YouTubers to join the Mukbang craze – a trend started in South Korea in 2010, which involves people eating piles of food on camera while interacting with their audience – North Yorkshire-based Fabio Mattison, 28, first watched one of the films back in 2014.
After her eating disorder had left her worrying about gaining weight and struggling to eat in front of people since her late teens, instead of being repulsed by the idea, when she made her first video in 2018 she found it strangely therapeutic, saying: "Having thousands of people watching me eat online has somehow allowed me to enjoy eating again."
She added: "I've had issues with food since I was 19 years old. I was constantly worried about putting on weight, and I had insecurities about people watching me eat.
"And it even got to the point, instead of going to the kitchen, I'd often cook and eat my food on a stove in my room.
"But when I started watching Mukbang videos I realized that food wasn't the big bad wolf, or something to be afraid of – so I decided to try making one myself."
Now happy to make money by wolfing down fast food, such as McDonald's, KFC, pizza, and Taco Bell online, having previously tried counseling to ease her anxiety around food without success, she says her videos are like "home therapy."
She continued: "I get a lot of people who suffer from anxiety messaging me. They say my videos have helped take their mind off things, which, in turn helps me by boosting my self-esteem.
"Also, if someone's a bit lonely they message me and say, 'Thanks for keeping me company.' I want my videos to be a warm and inviting space – it's like an online community of friends."
Fabio has a growing fan base for her Mukbang output, with almost 90% of her viewers living in the U.S., and has now made over 50 videos – capturing herself eating an array of foods, ranging from chocolate fudge cake to chicken nuggets and chips.
"Fast food is the most popular, though. I think people like watching it as a guilty pleasure," she explained.
"The food you eat on camera needs to be exciting, so I always try and research what is doing well. Eating salads is never going to be as popular as eating a takeaway, as it's way too virtuous."
She added: "If someone's trying to cut out carbs, or is allergic to a certain type of food, I think they get a kick out of watching someone else eat what they can't."
While she believes many of her subscribers watch her videos for some innocent fun, Fabio – who also uploads make-up tutorials to YouTube – admits there are some who get kinky kicks from watching her scoff.
"I can understand why people with food fetishes would watch my videos," she said, admitting that her family were initially skeptical about her Mukbang films and struggled to "get their heads around" the idea of her eating food online.

"I can see how some viewers might find some aspects of my videos arousing – like my lips being around a burger or hot dog," she continued.
There are other subscribers – mainly fans of ASMR videos, which feature people making soft, tingly sounds which aid relaxation and sleep – who prefer to listen to Fabio chew.
She said: "Some subscribers ask me to eat with my mouth wide open and others want to hear me chew."
She added: "I think they find it relaxing and like to fall asleep to the sound of me chewing."
Sadly, as well as a platoon of fans, Fabio has also attracted her fair share of online trolls.
"You have to take the bad with the good, but some people can just be plain rude," she said.
She explained: "People will say stuff like, 'Who is that creature?' or 'Look at those lips?' It can be disheartening, but I know it's just Internet trolls with nothing better to do."
Bizarrely, some online commentators even take swipes at the food Fabio eats.
"Some people will even ridicule what I'm eating. They'll say, 'Your tacos aren't crunchy enough' or 'Your food looks stale,'" she laughed.

"Sometimes people get really fussy about how I position the food in front of the camera," Fabio added.
And there are viewers who are very particular about the food Fabio – who also eats sweet plates of fudge cake, chocolate bars, and cheese cake online – devours.
"I get requests asking me to eat a Chinese or an Indian takeaway, and I'm not really a fan of either. I want to eat food I enjoy," she said.
"I ate dumplings once, I hated them – I physically couldn't eat them. But I added it in a blooper video and that did well," she said.
"I guess some people enjoyed watching me eat something I couldn't stomach and seeing my repulsed reaction to the food – and it must've made them laugh."
Fabio has even learned how to control her video budgets, by first making Cookbang videos – another Korean-inspired trend for cooking clips – and then eating what she makes on a Mukbang film.

"It can be expensive to film with junk food all the time, so I started doing 'Cookbangs,'" Fabio explained.
"I had requests from my subscribers who wanted me cook too. I think it gives them a different perspective on the food I eat.
"I take the audience through the cooking process of dishes like chili or sausages and mash, and then they can watch me eat it at the end."
Unlike some of her Mukbang contemporaries, who gorge on vast amounts of food, Fabio – who films her content in the corner of her living room – says her portions are more controlled.
"I'm more relatable than other Mukbang stars," she said. "I don't just sit there and eat as much as I can – I eat plenty, but I limit it.
"If I'm eating a takeaway like KFC, I'll always order a selection – but no more than four pieces."
Even though Fabio does not overindulge ridiculously on her videos, if she is planning a particularly calorific clip, she makes sure to eat healthily away from the camera.
"If know I'm going to film myself eating a McDonald's burger or something like that, I'll eat some nutritious food before or after.
"I'll have a salad or a sandwich. I don't calorie count – I just think it's all about balance."
Looking good on camera is another important factor for Fabio.
"It takes me about 40 minutes to get ready. I do my hair and put on a full face of make-up because my image is important to my viewers," she said.
"It's important to look the part when you're on camera."
Observing how making Mukbang videos has improved Fabio's self-confidence her family, although initially skeptical, now see them as a good thing.
"Now my mum watches my videos and she even suggests what I can eat on them," Fabio said.
"She can see that making them has helped my head space."
She continued: "It's not just eating it's about sharing a story too. You can chat to the camera about anything while you eat, and for me that's like having therapy at home.
"And, rather than my videos being just about food, I talk to the audience about everything from my life to just how my day has been. I'm quite real, and if I'm feeling sad, I'll tell my viewers."
For the future, Fabio hopes to continue to develop her YouTube channel and has ambitions to increase her following in the U.K.
She concluded: "I'd love to have millions of followers from all over the world. But I'd really like to grow a fan base closer to home.
"I love creating videos, interacting with the audience and it's helped me to enjoy food again.
"I hope by continuing to make videos I can help other people too."

USA Registers More Than 100,000 Coronavirus Deaths (One Day After Memorial Day)
In the United States, deaths from coronavirus exceeded more than 100,000, according to data collected by Johns Hopkins University. In the entire territory to date, about 1.7 million cases of Covid-19 have been registered.
The US continues to be the country with most infections and fatalities caused by the pandemic worldwide. This week president Donald Trump said the alarming numbers "are a badge of honor" in relation to the success of the tests being conducted.
In the table below, courtesy of wordometers.info you can see the US in position number 12 in the "deaths per 1 million inhabitants". If you take out San Marino, Andorra and St. Marteen due to the size of their population and the statistical deviation they create, the US is in reality in the 9th position just behind Ireland, Netherlands, Sweden, France, Italy, UK, Spain and Belgium.

Many statistical experts were certain that the milestone was going to be reached on the US Memorial Day but to their surprise, the reports of death that day were substantially below recent trends just resumed the day later. This makes many analyst believe that following Washington's unwritten instructions, the reporting of fatalities was slowed down to reduce the pressure on President Donald Trump and his lack of leadership dealing with the pandemic during a sensitive holiday for US citizens.
Donald Trump today posted a tweet referring to the terrible milestone but neglected to mention how many times he made fun of the virus and how slow his response was after banning some international flights.

As of May 20, approximately 23 percent of the total Covid-19 deaths in the country correspond to African Americans, according to racial demographic information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as reported by CNBC.
In New York City, the epicenter of the outbreak in the US, African Americans and low-income people have suffered the most from the pandemic, said Mayor Bill de Blasio.
In this context, the leading infectious disease expert in the United States, Anthony Fauci, said last month that the coronavirus outbreak is highlighting how "unacceptable" the health differences between blacks and whites are.
To date, the Covid-19 pandemic has caused 354,944 deaths and more than 5.6 people per million inhabitants have contracted the disease worldwide.
