Here's an unusual merger of parts. I don't remember seeing this combination.

2 1946 CJ-2As Langhorne, PA $1500
January 15, 2021 • CATEGORIES: CJ-2A • TAGS: Hardtop.
The more complete jeep has a gear shift that appears to the driver's side of the transmission gear shift. That could be a crankshaft PTO engagement shifter. The hardtop looks similar to a Porter and Reed, but the front of the roof doesn't slope down at the correct angle. I'm not sure what top it is.
"This is for both Willies Jeeps 1946. One title. Use for parts or get a title and use both to build one. The second one has a electric hydraulic pump that goes with"
1948 CJ-2A Trencher Potomac, IL $5000
January 15, 2021 • CATEGORIES: CJ-2A • TAGS: Dually, Trencher.
UPDATE: Still Available. There are some more pics here.
(08/28/2020) Not sure how much value is here. As Gordon notes in the comments, this has duallies.

"Willy's Jeep CJ2a trencher barn find been sitting under a tree outback motor surely stuck What's it worth Located outside Potomac IL"
1949 CJ-3A Seaside, CA $9500
UPDATE: Still Available.
(10/16/2020) This appears in good shape.
English translation of ad:

1946 CJ-2A Golden, CO $2500
(12/07/2020) Given the grille, this is likely a 1947 or later. It's a project that hasn't been run since Kennedy was president.
"1946 Willys Jeep project. Very original and complete. Last plated and ran in 1963. Body and frame in really good condition overall, rust in hat channels and toolbox, floors are good, has a repair on the passenger rear where tire carrier usually messes them up, has all 5 original tires and wheels, has the original soft top frame bows and most of the hardware , have the remains of the cloth topt with door frames and metal window ports , i have never seen these before, has all data tags and vin plate, the is no original title. I do have a title from a jeep i scrapped, but it doesn't match this Jeeps vin tag. Looks like water got in the tranny and it is stuck, engine doesn't turn either but coud be because of the transmission . Carburetor is missing they gave me one but it doesn't fit. Great start to a complete restoration"
1942 GPW Jackson, CA $4953
January 15, 2021 • CATEGORIES: GPW (Ford MB)
(07/02/2018) This might have a set of Watson hubs.
(from previous ad) … "Great Fun! Has been in the family over 40 years. It runs, has full roll bar, front and back towing. 2 sets of tires and rims. It has been kept in storage. My father told me it was a 4 cylinder plymouth engine. It is a 4 wheel 3 speed. It has very low mileage. Enjoyable as it is or easily made to look like new. No cracks in the windshield. The original serial numbers are on the under carriage with the 5 pointed star at the beginning and end of the sequence. It has a clear title and has been put on non-op as I cannot drive it anymore because of numerous back surgeries. I will miss it. I learned to drive on it when I was 9 years old. I hope to find it a good home. Some seal are dry and need greasing. You can make an appt to see it. Contact me through my email."
1955 CJ-3B Amsterdam, NY $4000
January 15, 2021 • CATEGORIES: CJ-3B
(07/26/2020) Has some modifications.
"This is a 1955 cj3b that was rebuilt from the ground up total tear off 20 years ago it has a Chevy 4.3 v6 bored 30 over and a turbo 350 automatic transmission the axles are stock which means it'll pull down a house hasn't been run in 20 years. It's probably seized up I haven't touched it in years but it shouldn't take much to get her up and running. the body was brand-new ship to me from the Philippines. It has a 4in lift and I think it's run in 32 or 33 inch tires. I really hate to see it go but could use the money for other projects. Dreams change. best offer I work nights and sleep days so the best time to reach me is in the evening"
1946 VEC(?) CJ-2A Middle River, MD $3500
January 14, 2021 • CATEGORIES: CJ-2A • TAGS: VEC.
This lacks a title, but doesn't lack potential.
"My CJ2A project, currently has no title, but I was in the process and will provide a bill of sale. Very good condition with not a lot of bad rot spots for its age. Ran not too long ago before I drained the fuel. Shifted and ran well, but it's main issue is no brakes. The cylinders were bad and the lines may need replaced. Time for it is just one of those things I don't have anymore sadly."
1969 CJ-5 Dually Granite Falls, NC $4000
January 14, 2021 • CATEGORIES: CJ5 • TAGS: Dually.
This CJ-5 used to carry a Go-For Digger backhoe.

UPDATE: Here's another floating jeep article that seems appropriate to add to this post. It appeared in the March 17, 1941, issue of the Philadelphia Inquirer.
These two photos appeared in the August 10, 1941, issue of the Salt Lake Tribune. The jeep pictured is a Ford GP. There should be one or more press photos on eWillys, but I will have to combine them when I have more time.

Anyone Have the History Behind This Jeepster?

This former Grays Harbor Shriner's Jeepster has even converted to an automatic tranny (probably from a Pinto … looks like one anyway) with a Pinto engine. I love the history on this one. Looks like a great price.

Match Result's
THE KINDERTONS COLOUR RUN 2019 - A THANK YOU FROM US!
The Kindertons Ltd. Colour Run took place this weekend as over 500 runners joined in the fun at the King George Playing Fields in Crewe!
Sponsored by Crewe Town Council & in support of Kindertons selected charity Cheshire Buddies, the Colour Run was hosted and facilitated by Crewe FC & it's army of club volunteers who worked tirelessly to bring the event to life and ensure everyone that attended had a fantastic time!
Daniel Athorn, Operations Director at Kindertons had this to say the latest addition to Crewe's annual events calendar;
"It was an unbelievable event and we (Kindertons) are delighted that we could play our part in bringing it to the local community in Crewe.
We are really proud to be able to support such fantastic community initiatives and charities and hopefully we will have raised a significant amount of money for Cheshire Buddies.
I'd like to give a special thank you to Crewe FC, who are a wonderful community club who's support has been fundamental to the success of the event"
Local MP Laura Smith who took part in the family event was equally as impressed;
"It was my pleasure to take part in the Colour Run on Sunday. The event was a huge success raising funds for the excellent charity Cheshire Buddies, and I would like to thank all who helped to organise the run and to those who took part. It was wonderful to see so many people of all different ages taking part and more importantly having such a good time. I am incredibly proud to be the MP of my hometown and events like this show what a great community spirit we have. Myself and my family are very much looking forward to taking part next year".
The event was also supported by the Mayor of Crewe, Cllr Brian Roberts;
"I was so pleased to see how well the Colour Run was received at its new venue in Crewe. Participation by people of all ages was fantastic to witness, I don't think I have ever seen so many smiling faces before. The event is a real asset to Crewe and I can't wait for the one next year".
Steve Parker, Chairman at Crewe FC had this to say on the event and more specifically those that helped make it possible;
"It was an incredible community event. Having been involved with each run over the past 4 years, this one has really astounded me.
The sheer volume of effort and support from the members of my Club was above and beyond anything I've ever seen at a Football Club. They are, collectively, an incredible group of people and they deserve every bit of praise and recognition they've received in hosting a spectacular event.
We also need to say a huge thank you to those that helped on the day.
The efforts of Charlie Maines & his Wishing Well colleagues, the Area 51 Fitness squad, Danny Lavalette & Lavalette Productions, Cheshire Buddies and all their helpers all contributed to an incredible day that the local community should be really proud of.
We're delighted it's being adopted as part of Crewe's annual calendar of events and we're already looking forward to hosting it next year"

Gov. Chris Christie isn't polling over 5 percent in the latest surveys from the four early voting states of Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada. One New Jersey political expert said the governor is probably going to have to win one of those states to survive and fight in the 12 "Super Tuesday" states on March 1.
The latest Monmouth University poll of GOP voters in Iowa showed Christie was getting just 1 percent support and it appears he is not building any organizational support in that state said Patrick Murray, the director of the poll.
"The early polls in New Hampshire suggest that he's not doing well there, but those polls were taken before he actually formally announced (his candidacy)," Murray said. "He's been spending a lot more time up in New Hampshire so we'll see in the next couple of weeks as more New Hampshire polls start coming out whether he's been able to get a bounce there because he certainly didn't get it in Iowa and he has gotten it nationally."
The governor formally launched his presidential campaign at his high school alma mater on June 30.
It is possible that four different candidates will emerge as the winner in each of the four early voting states and Christie's best bet is New Hampshire and a win there would propel him into "Super Tuesday" Murray explained.
"He needs to emerge from New Hampshire as the winner there and then start raising money by the bucket load in the weeks following in order to be able to compete in the next set of contests. The next poll coming out of New Hampshire will tell whether or not Chris Christie really got a bounce in the place that he's concentrated on," Murray said.
"It's make or break for him in New Hampshire. He has to do well in New Hampshire. Probably he has to win New Hampshire outright," Murray said.
According to Murray, the only caucuses that really matter are those in Iowa and Nevada because the nomination process has always been about momentum and if a candidate can do well in those states momentum will be built and he or she will be viewed as a viable candidate.

Reunion Registration Form
Home Reunion Reunion Registration Form
GMS Reunion 2021 Canceled
Submitted by Mike Ruth on Mon, 09/13/2021 - 10:44
Greetings to all GMS Alumni and Friends,
On Friday morning, September 10, the GMSAA Board of Directors held an emergency Zoom meeting to discuss the status of this year's reunion scheduled to be held October 15 through the 18th. The Board was concerned about the extremely high number of Covid cases being reported in Greenbrier County and all of West Virginia. After discussing all of the issues thoroughly, all of the Board Members on the call voted unanimously to postpone this years' reunion to next October.
We have been in contact with officials at WVSOM for the past month as they have been monitoring the Covid situation closely. A few days ago, they made the decision to close down all buildings on campus day and night, to all those who did not have building access cards as well as modifying food service on campus. We were told they made this decision because of the increased Covid situation in the community. They did not close their campus. It was made clear that GMS alumni and friends could come on campus.
We were also informed that the local Greenbrier Valley Medical Center was at its maximum capacity treating COVID patients.
Because of the high number of Covid cases in the community, the restrictions in place at the school trying to prevent Covid on their campus, and the issues at the local hospital, we felt we had an obligation to our alumni, the community, and WVSOM to make this decision.
If you have already sent in your money for the reunion, please visit our website at GMSAA.org and you will find a link on the main page directing you to reunion refund information. Your refund will be processed as soon as possible.
This was not an easy decision. All of the Board Members wanted our alumni and friends to have a great reunion this year. Unfortunately, this is a situation that was certainly unforeseen.
Let's look forward to 2022. Greenbrier Forever.
Bill Allfather		Mike Ruth		Perry Woodside		Bob Boles
President		Vice-President		Treasurer		Secretary

EXPLORERS' JOHNSON NAMED LEAGUE'S TOP HURLER
Durham, N.C. – Sioux City Explorers RHP Patrick Johnson was named the American Association Pitcher of the Year on Saturday, in a vote of league managers and media members.
In 20 starts for the Explorers, Johnson put together one of the most impressive seasons in league history, going 15-1 with a 2.08 ERA, currently third-best in the AA, and 132 strikeouts, second-most in the loop. Opponents hit a meager .194 off of the native of Hickory, N.C., who walked just 40 hitters in 134 innings of work.
The 15 wins tie Johnson with St. Paul LHP Kramer Sneed for the league lead, and have also tied a league record (Wichita RHP Josh Lowey went 15-4 in 2012) and broken a Sioux City franchise record. The 132 strikeouts are an Explorers franchise mark as well.
Johnson has been a linchpin for Sioux City during its dominant 2015 season, in which the club has already set the league record with 74 victories and is on pace to break the league mark for lowest team ERA (currently at 3.05; the previous record, 3.38, was set by Wichita in 2013.)
The 27-year-old is in his second season with Sioux City, after finishing first in the AA with 106 strikeouts representing his club in the American Association All-Star Game in 2014. Prior to Sioux City, Johnson spent three seasons in the Colorado Rockies' system after being drafted in the 25th round in 2011. He played collegiately at North Carolina, where he was a member of three College World Series squads.
Johnson is the second Sioux City pitcher to win an American Association Pitcher of the Year award, after Nick Singleton was named the league's top righthanded pitcher in 2008 (prior to 2011, the league gave separate awards for righthanded and lefthanded pitchers).

DIGITAL ALBUM RELEASE SLATED FOR SPRING, WITH VINYL RELEASE TO FOLLOW IN LATE SUMMER
(New York, NY) – Ben Folds has announced details of a landmark new album slated for digital release in the spring with a vinyl release to follow in the late summer.
The upcoming album will showcase new pop songs by the multi-platinum-selling singer/songwriter/producer recorded and arranged in collaboration with yMusic – a NYC-based sextet, along with the debut recording of Folds' critically acclaimed "Concerto For Piano and Orchestra." Recorded in just under two weeks in New York, Los Angeles, and Folds' own historic RCA Studio A in Nashville, the album is marked by its forward-thinking studio craft and creative spontaneity.
"I don't recall ever being quite so excited about an album I'm making," Folds says. "I'll let you decide if that's a good thing or not. It's just that we don't often get to make a record that we've never heard before. The arrangements you will hear on this record are straight up rock – not ornamentation. The odd instrumentation – piano, cello, viola, violin, flute/piccolo/alto flute, trumpet/French horn, and clarinet/bass clarinet, with no bass and more often than not, no drums – is yielding something that I can't wait to release. It's a pop record, if that's what you call what I write. "
Folds with yMusic will herald the new album with a kick off tour run starting in late April in a very special series of residencies in New York, Chicago, Boston, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Portland, ME, Charlottesville, Richmond, Durham, and Washington, DC. The multi-night stands will see Folds and yMusic as his band appearing at venues spanning intimate clubs to concert halls – complete details will be unveiled soon. Ben Folds with yMusic will also make an exclusive festival appearance at this year's Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival, set for Friday, June 12th in Manchester, Tennessee, and other possible dates together throughout the year.
Additional touring by Folds will also resume in mid-June, with additional US cities and international live dates to be announced soon. For news and regularly updated ticket information, please visit www.benfolds.com/events.
Having spent much of 2013 performing his "Concerto For Piano and Orchestra" with symphony orchestras around the world, Folds was eager to continue exploring new sonic landscapes but with the feeling and flexibility of playing with a "band."
Folds first found international success as the leader of the Ben Folds Five. His subsequent solo career has seen the release of multiple studio albums, a pair documenting his renowned live performances, a remix collection, music for film and TV, an all a capella record, as well as numerous collaborations with artists spanning Sara Bareilles to William Shatner.
In March 2014, Folds premiered "Concerto For Piano and Orchestra" accompanied by the Nashville Symphony. Since then, he has spent much of his time touring around the globe, performing the three-movement concerto and orchestrations of his classic pop hits before sold-out crowds with some of the world's greatest symphony orchestras.
A Nashville resident, Folds owns and operates the historic RCA Studio A. The studio is the multi-platinum artist's creative hub, where he composes, collaborates, produces and records his genre-defying work, as well as that of other artists. Folds has earned universal respect and praise for his insight as judge on five highly rated seasons of NBC's a capella competition series, The Sing Off. In addition, he has made cameo appearances in a variety of film and TV projects, including a role on NBC's Community.

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds – Chasing Yesterday REVIEW (2015)
AWOLNATION – Run (REVIEW) 2015


I have written a new book on parenting. People have asked me why I wrote a book on this topic. It's a good question and there are five reasons.
I'm convinced of the importance of parenting. I have long believed that raising children is, for many of us, the most important work we'll ever do. It's in the home where we shape the lives of our greatest legacy, our children.
The need is great. Most parents confess that raising children is among the most challenging work they ever do. Not only is family life chaotic with so many emotional demands and competing priorities but social and economic changes are making parenting more challenging all the time. Many parents need help knowing what do with children who won't do their homework, bicker and fight, expect life to be easy, or get angry and throw fits.
There is nothing like parenting to reveal our "unfinished" personal development work. I thought I was pretty grown up when I was in my mid twenties. Then we started having children. Becoming a parent revealed my imperfections like nothing else. I learned that the biggest challenge to parenting is not our children's behavior but our own emotional reactions. Loving parenting cannot be separated from our own personal growth.
Research has proven a strong and positive correlation between individual happiness and positive relationships. We are, after all, incredibly social beings. We become happier and more fully functioning people as we learn skills to build loving relationships.
My father created a set of relationship principles and skills which we taught back in the early days of my career. I've since continued to develop these skills and test them with parents and within the public schools. Our parenting system has received excellent reviews. I want to share these tools with you, my readers, to help you build more loving relationships with the people you care about most.
You can get more information, read how to set and enforce expectations with your children, or order a copy of the book by clicking here.
One last thing. I will be writing more and more about relationship topics in the upcoming months. Again, I believe our personal growth cannot be separated from who and how we are in our relationships. We grow as we learn to do our relationships well. And, when it comes right down to it, what is more important to us, in the long run, than our personal relationships?
Hey Roger. I'd love a copy of your book. Can I purchase it from your website? Thanks!


Many women at menopause experience thyroid issues, but help is at hand and what you eat can make a real difference.
Low thyroid can affect your everyday wellbeing in so many different ways. So before consulting your doctor, see how many of the common signs you have.
Menopause can often bring the first signs of an underactive thyroid. Dr Mercola explains what factors can affect it, and how you can help yourself to better thyroid health.
Are you putting on weight or worried about hair loss and lack of energy or sleep? These can all be signs of a sluggish thyroid and low progesterone levels.


More Kent Bazemore news! Last year, in ESPN's annual ranking of the 500 best players in the NBA, the Warriors' maestro of the bench celebration was ranked No. 499. During yesterday's summer league action, the always vigilant CJ Fogler noticed that Bazemore has the number 499 stitched into the tongue of his sneakers, presumably as a source of motivation. Here's hoping you break 450 this year, Kent.

China Aims to Cut All Greenhouses Gases by 2060, Researcher Says
October 12, 2020 EnergyNow Media
By Bloomberg News
(Bloomberg) China's pledge to be carbon neutral by 2060 includes all greenhouses gases, not just carbon dioxide, according to one of the country's top climate researchers.
He Jiankun, who chairs the academic committee at the Institute of Climate Change and Sustainable Development at Tsinghua University, made the clarification at a conference on Monday outlining China's road map to reaching its goal.
When President Xi Jinping told the United Nations about China's new target last month, he didn't specify if China would target just carbon dioxide — the most prevalent greenhouse gas — or others that also contribute to global warming such as methane, ozone and nitrous oxide. He also didn't detail how China planned to achieve the target, though the government is expected to lay out some of those measures in its upcoming five-year plan for 2021 to 2025.
In line with the target, China should announce more ambitious contributions to the Paris climate accord including reducing its carbon intensity by more than 65% from 2005 levels and aiming for a higher share of non-fossil fuel energy sources by 2030, He said.
However, researchers at the conference laid out scenarios that showed even that plan wouldn't put China on the path to keeping global warming within 2 degrees Celsius from pre-industrial levels, so China would have to scale up targets even more after 2030.
He also said that the next five-year plan should include the following targets in order to achieve the 2060 goal:
Cut energy consumption per capita of gross domestic product by at least 14%
Boost the share of energy that comes from non-fossil fuels to about 20%
Reduce carbon dioxide intensity by as much as 20%
In September, Tsinghua University's Institute of Energy, Environment and Economy, released its proposal for achieving the 2060 target, which entailed a more gradual transition over the next decade and a half and a rapid acceleration after 2035. Under the plan, coal-fired electricity would be eliminated by 2050, and China's energy mix would undergo the following transformation:
Coal 2.86 billion tons of coal equivalent 110 million -96%
Natural gas 560 million 140 million -75%
Oil 980 million 340 million -65%
Hydro 440 million 660 million +50%
Biomass 110 million 220 million +100%
Wind 240 million 1.07 billion +346%
Nuclear 170 million 820 million +382%
Solar 150 million 1.03 billion +587%

Nick and Emily were so nervous when they arrived at Freedom Park. Both told me they don't particularly like having their photos taken so I knew I had to step up to the challenge. I like to keep the mood of the session fun and less posed than sessions they likely had in the past. We walked, talked, got to know each other and I taught them how to dip, spin and "do the lift". We laughed A LOT and somewhere along the way, they stopped feeling nervous. The images are so natural and their personalities came shining through.
I can't wait for their September 2018 wedding at the Duke Mansion. They will be full-blown-not-even-one-bit-nervous models on the big day after our time together at their engagement session. Oh, in case you were wondering, a champagne cork can actually travel upwards of 8-10 feet (that thing shot off like a rocket!!) ha!

I entrusted some of my friends back home with with some very private details of my life. I asked them to please support me as a friend and honor my trust until I was personally ready to talk about the private matter myself for my own reasons. I was waiting for a very personal and private reason to tell people about my daughter Ellie and I believe it was my decision and right to do so, but apparently one of my so called "friends" thought they should take it upon themselves to talk about my private life behind my back breaking my trust. Some of my friends also took it upon themselves to unjustly accuse me of not doing what is right when they have no clue about what I'm doing, how hard I'm struggling, and how difficult it is for me to be so far away from my daughter and loved ones. I find myself judged unfairly and my trust broken by friends I grew up with. This saddens me deeply. I even heard that when they spread the news and had a good laugh over it at my expense. I have never ever laughed at anyone that has been in the situation I found myself in last year. I have lost friends tonight, but then again, true friends wouldn't have stabbed me in the back and broken my trust like they did as soon as I left town.
I'm glad that people know about my daughter Ellie. I'm a proud father and I've happily been telling everyone I know about her since Christmas. I don't need to explain why I waited to tell people because that is nobody's business but my own. I'm sincerely hurt by this news and I have lost friends because of it.


The United States Trustee Program is a component of the Department of Justice that seeks to promote the efficiency and protect the integrity of the Federal bankruptcy system. To further the public interest in the just, speedy and economical resolution of cases filed under the Bankruptcy Code, the Program monitors the conduct of bankruptcy parties and private estate trustees, oversees related administrative functions, and acts to ensure compliance with applicable laws and procedures. It also identifies and helps investigate bankruptcy fraud and abuse in coordination with United States Attorneys, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and other law enforcement agencies.
The Program was established by the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978 (11 U.S.C. § 101, et seq.) as a pilot effort encompassing 18 districts. It was expanded to 21 Regions nationwide, covering all Federal judicial districts except Alabama and North Carolina (see Note below), by enactment of the Bankruptcy Judges, U.S. Trustees, & Family Farmer Bankruptcy Act of 1986 (Pub. L. 99-554, 100 Stat. 3088, reprinted in part at 28 U.S.C. § 581, note). The Program is funded by the United States Trustee System Fund, which consists primarily of fees paid by parties and businesses invoking Federal bankruptcy protection.
The Attorney General is charged with the appointment of United States Trustees and Assistant United States Trustees. The Executive Office for U.S. Trustees (EOUST) in Washington, D.C., provides general policy and legal guidance, oversees the Program's substantive operations, and handles administrative functions. The Director of the Executive Office, whose authority derives from the Attorney General, oversees a staff comprised of the Offices of the Director, General Counsel, Criminal Enforcement, Administration, Oversight, Planning & Evaluation, and Information Technology. The Executive Office also provides administrative and management support to individual U.S. Trustee Offices in their implementation of Federal bankruptcy laws. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 581-589a.
Liquidation proceedings under Chapter 7 — In Chapter 7 "liquidation" proceeding, those assets that are not exempt from creditors are collected and liquidated (reduced to money). The proceeds are distributed to creditors by a private trustee appointed to administer the debtor's estate under Chapter 7 (see generally 11 U.S.C. §§701-704). An eligible debtor may receive a "discharge" from his or her debts under Chapter 7, except for certain debts that are prohibited from discharge by the Bankruptcy Code.
Reorganization proceedings (usually business-related) under Chapter 11 — Chapter 11 offers a procedure by which an individual or a business may attempt to "reorganize" its debts while continuing to operate. The vast majority of Chapter 11 cases are filed by businesses. The debtor, often with the participation of creditors, creates a reorganization plan under which to repay all or part of its debts. The "debtor in possession" may generally continue business operations pending reorganization, unless a trustee is appointed under Chapter 11 (see, e.g., 11 U.S.C. §1104).
Section 1930(a)(6) of the U.S. Code (28 U.S.C. §1930(a)(6)) prescribes "quarterly fees" that are to be paid by Chapter 11 debtors to the U.S. Trustee Program. In essence, quarterly fees accrue throughout the pendency of a Chapter 11 reorganization case (i.e., until the case is closed, dismissed, or converted to another chapter) and are payable on a quarterly basis, 30 days following the end of each calendar quarter. "The amount of the quarterly fee [is] calculated according to a graduated scale based on the total sum of disbursements" as specified in §1930(a)(6), and "disbursements" include all pre- and post-confirmation payments made by or on behalf of the debtor, including routine operating expenses. See, e.g., Tighe v. Celebrity Home (In re Celebrity Home Entertainment, Inc.), 210 F.3d 995 (9th Cir. April 21, 2000). For more information regarding Chapter 11 quarterly fees, please contact the Office of the United States Trustee in the judicial district where the case was filed.
Family farm and fisherman reorganization proceedings under Chapter 12 — Chapter 12 allows an eligible family farmer or a fisherman to file for bankruptcy, reorganize the business' affairs of the farm or fishing business, repay all or part of the business' debts, and continue operating. A "standing trustee" appointed by the United States Trustee under 28 U.S.C. §586(b) typically serves as the trustee of the debtor's estate pending fulfillment of the debtor's repayment obligations under a plan confirmed by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court where the case was filed.
"Wage-earner" reorganization proceedings under Chapter 13 — Chapter 13, often called wage-earner bankruptcy, is used primarily by individual consumers to reorganize their financial affairs under a repayment plan that must be completed within three or five years. To be eligible for Chapter 13 relief, a consumer must have regular income and may not have more than a certain amount of debt, as set forth in the Bankruptcy Code. A "standing trustee" appointed by the United States Trustee under 28 U.S.C. §586(b) typically serves as the trustee of the debtor's estate pending fulfillment of the debtor's repayment obligations under a plan confirmed by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court where the case was filed.

ADVISORY: The Department of Justice does not provide legal advice to individual members of the public. For specific bankruptcy-related advice, please consult qualified legal counsel. A list of private attorneys in your area may be available from your State bar association, local law schools, or legal aid clinics.
JURISDICTIONAL NOTE: Bankruptcy cases in Alabama and North Carolina are not under the jurisdiction of the United States Trustee Program. Questions regarding bankruptcy cases filed in the six judicial districts in those states should be directed to the Bankruptcy Administrator for the district where the case is pending. Contact information for the Bankruptcy Administrators is available on the federal judiciary's Web site at http://www.uscourts.gov/services-forms/bankruptcy/trustees-and-administrators.

AIPP has its own constitution, bylaws and core values, which shall be the basis for this zero-tolerance anti-corruption policy. This policy outlines the acceptable and non-acceptable behaviors of all AIPP officers and staff, as well as member-organizations and partners having direct project partnership with AIPP to ensure compliance with anti-corruption laws. These include compliance with all domestic and foreign laws prohibiting improper payments, gifts or incentives/inducements of any kind to and receive from any person, agencies including private and public sectors. This policy also applies while dealing with any government and its agencies. This policy can be revised as needed and agreed by the Executive Council (EC) and/or simple majority of the members to make it more relevant and appropriate taken into account changes within and outside AIPP. All members, partners and staff are required to comply with this policy.
The anti-corruption policy is an integral part of the overall governance system of AIPP.
The main purpose of this policy is to promote and strengthen the measures to ensure accountability and transparency to combat corruption practices more efficiently and effectively in AIPP in line with national and international laws, policies against corruption.
The definition of Anti-corruption in this document is based on commonly applied by international financial institutions.
· "Bribery practice" means any offering, giving, receiving or soliciting, directly or indirectly, of anything of value to improperly influence the actions or decisions of another party to gain and retain the vested interest. Anything of value includes cash, gifts and courtesies.
· "Corrupt practice" means abuse of any entrusted power for personal gain and financial benefit in both private and public services and businesses undermining good governance and the rule of law.
· "Facilitative Payments" means small sums paid to government officials or any other parties to facilitate or expedite the action or routing.
The scope of this policy does not cover ethical conduct or procedural lapses of staff and consultants that do not fall within the scope of corrupt, fraudulent, collusive or coercive practices as defined above (e.g. harassment, mismanagement, disrespectful behaviour and breaches of legal and contractual obligations not involving fraud, corruption, coercion or collusion). Other policies and practices of AIPP remain applicable in dealing with such lapses with appropriate sanctions or remedies.
AIPP will apply a zero-tolerance policy where it has determined through an investigative process that its staff, consultants or project/activity partners have engaged in fraudulent, corrupt, collusive or coercive practices. "Zero tolerance" means that AIPP will pursue all allegations falling under the scope of this policy and that appropriate sanctions will be applied where the allegations are substantiated. AIPP will enforce a range of disciplinary measures and sanctions for all such cases, in accordance with applicable AIPP rules and regulations and contractual provisions. Such measures will include referral to the competent national authorities where warranted. Where such cases where concerned individuals are employed by another entity, AIPP will take all possible steps to ensure that the other entity takes appropriate actions in a manner consistent with this policy. AIPP will continue to improve its internal controls so as to ensure that it is effective in preventing, detecting and investigating fraudulent, corrupt, collusive and coercive practices pertaining to its staff, consultants or project/activity partners and dealings with governments. It will take all possible actions to protect individuals and agencies from reprisals that submit allegations of corrupt practices in its activities and operations and individuals subject to unfair or malicious allegations.
The framework of internal controls is the organization's main shield against fraud and corruption in its operations. In this regard, AIPP's control processes for the prevention and detection of irregular practices have developed over time in line with its changing operational modalities and exigencies. The increasing expansion of AIPP's project partnership with members and networks, its expanding field presence and hiring of consultants are developments that have prompted the strengthening of such control processes in recent years.
AIPP rules and regulations, legal instruments and control processes (including internal check and balance of finance management and external audit) define and enforce the parameters of proper conduct for staff, consultants, and project partners, and constitute prevention and detection controls against the incidence of fraud and corruption. The present prevention and detection framework has been largely shaped by a series of recent initiatives. The ongoing initiative (2013) of systematizing the administrative management system, improving the staff supervision policies and procedures are shaping more ethical and accountable collective culture through competency-based recruitment practices, revamped performance evaluation, training, capacity building and better human resource management, and an AIPP-specific code of conduct clearly defining acceptable bounds of ethical behaviour of AIPP staff. These are all elements of the revised Operational Manual of the AIPP Regional Secretariat issued in 2013. The revised financial management policy and guideline and training Manual for AIPP staff and project partners along with capacity building on finance management has created improved capabilities for more transparent and readily accessible information on transactions, and streamlined and more effective controls over financial and procurement actions. AIPP has also introduced an asset liability management framework dealing with misuse, damage or loss of property by any staff.
Any society and organization is susceptible to corruption even if there is a well-established checks and balances system in place. Corruption may occur anywhere, if there is no proper vigilance and effective counter measures. Notwithstanding recent improvements, AIPP also recognizes that, in keeping with evolving good practices, further development of such controls and counter measures will be necessary to ensure effective check and balance, full adherence to a zero-tolerance policy. This will include incorporating these policies into legal and procedural documentation (where not already reflected); issuing appropriate guidance to AIPP members, staff, project partners and individuals. Time, determination and consistency are important for effective execution of anti-corruption policies.
The Executive Council has the overall responsibility in overseeing the compliance with the anti-corruption policy. In particular, the Chairperson will be responsible for monitoring the overall compliance with the anti-corruption policy of the secretariat. Likewise, the Head of AIPP's partner organizations are responsible for monitoring compliance with the anti-corruption policy in their respective organizations.
The anti-corruption policy will be communicated to all AIPP members, partners and staff to comply with the policy. AIPP members and partners, if necessary, will translate the policy in their national languages. An orientation will be given to the staff and members/partners on the anti-corruption policy, as appropriate such as during the inception workshop meetings for project partners and in the meeting of programme committees. The anti-corruption policy statement will be available in the AIPP websites. The policy statement shall be published in the annual reports.
All suspicions of economical frauds, bribery and corruption should immediately be reported directly to the President of the AIPP Advisory Board, through confidential channels established by AIPP. The anonymity of the whistleblower will be respected and protected.
· A confidential anti-corruption hotline and an e-mail address to be managed by the President of the AIPP Advisory Board has been set up for confidential reporting. All corrupt practices and information on any allegation will be reported to President of the AIPP Advisory Board through these channels. S/He will involve 2-3 Board members in the consultation process. The telephone number and email address will be provided to all secretariat members, communicated to all members and partners and also publicized in the annual report of AIPP, websites and others. Special measures will be put in place to ensure adequate security in the operation of these channels.
· A simple complaint format will be developed, circulated to members and partners and also posted in the websites of AIPP. Whistleblowers are encouraged to use the complaint format for providing the necessary information but in their own discretion. The format is provided so as to enable the AIPP investigation body to act without hindrances (ensuring that they have enough information to proceed with their investigation). The investigation committee (IC) may seek additional information in the process of the investigation.
On receipt of any complaints of alleged corruption or suspicion of indulging in corrupt practices, the President of the AIPP Advisory Board will call the other advisory board members (minimum of 3 members of the board) to assess/evaluate the allegation.If the Board deems that the complaint is legitimate or there's merit, Investigation Committee will be formed. The IC will be constituted within two weeks of the receipt of the report.
· One Lawyer (recommended by the Board for cases with perceived serious legal implications).
A Sanction Committee (SC) will be constituted of not more than five (5) members from amongst the EC members and designed person from the AIPP Advisory Board. The Chairperson of the EC will head the SC together with the designated person in the AIPP Advisory Board along with three other members from the EC or the Board.
The SC will review the findings of the investigation and decide on appropriate sanctions to impose on the party found guilty.
Based on investigation and sanctions, the EC will take actions for the corrupt person/officer/entity accordingly. The EC can also deliver it to Secretary General for necessary actions particularly for corrupt practices within the secretariat, whereas EC will decide and take actions to matters related to AIPP members and partners in consultation with SG and Programme Committees, if necessary.
In most of the cases, EC and AIPP Advisory Board will handle the case of corruption internally in consultation with SG and secretariat, as appropriate. If the case is serious that needs legal process like Court case, the reliable lawyer shall be hired for additional legal support, as required.
All forms of corruption will result in immediate investigation and appropriate action shall be taken against anyone found guilty. AIPP shall abide by procedures of due process in upholding the principle of innocence unless proven guilty. In the case of AIPP staff, the person found guilty of any form of corruption as defined above will be made known to all other staff, members and partners for preventive purposes in additional to other appropriate action.
All incidences of corruption or an act of suspected corruption will result in a report stating the severity and scope of the issue and actions taken thereafter. All reports shall be sent to the EC and the Advisory Board of AIPP.
AIPP will strictly maintain confidentiality of all information it receives, including the identity of anyone making a complaint or reporting a concern about wrongdoing.
AIPP commits to protect any whistleblowers, who in good faith has reported alleged fraud and corruption or who has otherwise cooperated with an investigation process, from retaliation.
However, if AIPP determines that the information it receives is malicious or deliberately false, AIPP will take appropriate action.
What kind of concerns should be reported to AIPP?
AIPP investigates allegations of fraud and corruption in relation to the operation of AIPP Secretariat and in the implementation of projects and programme activities.
AIPP staff members, AIPP members and partners are required to promptly report potential cases of fraud and corruption through the hotline number and/or email provided.

Q: How to align Entity to 3 separate anchors in RealityKit/ARkit? I am developing an app using ARKit and RealityKit.
I want to put a virtual box in the scene and align it with the physical object in three planes(x,y,z)
I was able to place the box in the scene (on floor).

The box is already aligned to the z-axis
I think after placing the box you should have chosen the planes to align to.

*

*first touch on the x-axis plane of the physical object

*second touch on the z-axis plane of the physical object

Below is the code I use
var box: ModelEntity!
var numberOfTouches: Int = 0

@objc func handleTap(sender: UITapGestureRecognizer) {

        print("tap")

        let point:CGPoint = sender.location(in: nil)

        guard let queryFirst = self.sceneView.makeRaycastQuery(
            from: point,
            allowing: .existingPlaneInfinite,//.estimatedPlane,
            alignment: self.box == nil ? .horizontal : .vertical
        )
        else { return }

        let result = self.sceneView.session.raycast(queryFirst)

        guard let raycastResult = result.first
        else { return }

        let anchor = AnchorEntity(raycastResult: raycastResult)

        //If there is no box, then put it in the scene
        if(self.box == nil){
          var material = SimpleMaterial()

          material.tintColor = UIColor.init(red: 0.0, green: 0.0, blue: 1.0, alpha: 1)
          material.baseColor = MaterialColorParameter.color(UIColor.white)

          self.box = ModelEntity(
            mesh: MeshResource.generateBox(size: 0.25),
            materials: [material]
          )

          //is already aligned to the z-axis

          anchor.addChild(self.box)
          sceneView.scene.anchors.append(anchor)
        }else{

          //If there is a box in the scene, then align to the current anchor:
          //1) first touch on plane of the physical object - align on the x-axis
          //2) second touch on the other plane of the physical object - align on the z-axis

          numberOfTouches += 1

          if(numberOfTouches == 1){
            // How align self.box on x-axis anchor ?
          }

          if(numberOfTouches == 2){
            // How align self.box on y-axis anchor ?
          }

        }
}

How do I align to the other axes?
And for the box to fit into the place of the object?
I should probably do it like this:
let orientation: simd_quatf = anchor.orientation(relativeTo: self.box)

self.box.setOrientation(orientation , relativeTo: anchor)

But it doesn't work for me. Please help me.

Photography had yet to be invented, but Denis Diderot already had its number. "That's not me!" he wrote in 1773 upon seeing a portrait of himself. He had a hundred different faces on any one day, "depending on what I am captivated by. Cheerful, sad, dreamy, tender, testy, passionate, but never the way you see me here."1 He wore a mask that no image could reproduce because too many things were fused into it and showed on his face in such rapid succession that no painter's eye could keep track of them.
Unknown, french postcard to "Muttergottes von Einsiedeln", Switzerland, 1916
And he was right. The human countenance functions as a communicative interface, because it is in motion—no other part of the body has so many muscles concentrated in such a small space. Every image flash-freezes them. No matter how precisely its details are captured, every portrait shows something that simply does not exist in reality—an ossified, immobilized set of features. "If you were to invent a machine", Diderot had asked a few years earlier, "capable of producing paintings like Raphael's, would these pictures still be beautiful?" His answer was harsh: "No." "And the machine? Once it has become commonplace, it would be no more beautiful than the paintings."2
This machine arrived in 1839, and the public was enthralled—here at last was a process that could create exact reproductions of people, enthused the French interior minister: the state should immediately purchase the new technology. In 1851 the photographer Louis Dodéro called for all official documents to be provided with photographs—at long last there were to be fixed, reliable images. It was the very thing that others found intolerable. "I despise photographs", wrote Gustav Flaubert in 1853, "quite as much as I love the originals. Nothing about them is real." He would never permit a photographic portrait to be made of him. He was not alone in this. In 1860 Jakob Burkhardt wrote that he hadn't "allowed himself to be portrayed or photographed for years," and in 1864 he once again protested, "I can and will not permit my own countenance to be photographed! My aversion is far too great—I do not know why."3 Charles Darwin wondered uneasily whether his facial expression was really as repugnant as in the photos of him, and others were afraid of suffering irrevocable losses: the writer Honoré de Balzac thought that with each portrait a thin layer of skin was peeled from his own face so that in the end nothing would be left of it.
Yet their contemporaries had also noticed a quite different effect—multiplication. "Each new picture", wrote the American photo enthusiast Oliver Wendell Holmes in 1861, "gives us a new aspect of our friend; we find he had not one face, but many." The carte de visite process had been patented in 1854. This made it possible to develop several portraits on one sheet of photographic paper in a single run. The new combination of photographic portraits pasted on top of printed visiting cards was a phenomenal success: at the time it was known as the "carte de visite epidemic". One's own image, captured in different poses and costumes against an array of backgrounds, was to be given away, sent out, distributed; other people's pictures were collected, swapped, and put on display. Every year several hundred million of these portraits were produced. When in 1860 American president Abraham Lincoln was asked by an admirer for a carte de visite, he replied that he had long since lost control of his picture in the new medium. "I suppose they got my shadow and can multiply copies indefinitely."4
"Shadow" was the term commonly used in the US for the new images. Or should one say "shadowing"? After initial attempts to make photographic records of suspects in the 1840s and 1850s, the police departments in Europe and America had spent four decades collecting standardized photographic portraits of actual and alleged wrongdoers to put in their archives—only to find that they were of little practical use. Criminologists complained that cases of doppelgängers and chance resemblances could never be completely ruled out; it was too easy to manipulate one's appearance, and one and the same person looked different in different pictures. The police's portrait photos were all direct and precise—and yet unreliable because they were so direct and precise.5
Every camera was a magical device for stopping time: but in the age of endless reproductions of one's own appearance, the faces in the portraits became an immense stream of ever-changing facial expressions and poses. George Bernard Shaw nicely encapsulated this in 1902 in his ironic remark that even the very best painters could only ever show one view of a person at a time—which, of course, never corresponded with reality. "The camera," he continued, "with one sitter, will give you authentic portraits of at least six apparently different persons and characters." Eugène Delacroix had already noticed this back in 1850. "Which of us has not one hundred faces? Will my portrait of this morning be that of this afternoon and tomorrow?"6
Whenever a familiar procedure is replaced by a new technology, the old techniques suddenly appear solid, reliable, and substantial vis-à-vis the triumphantly faster, mercurial, uncontrollable devices that have superseded them: but only in retrospect. In the debates that raged 150 years ago about the new mass images produced by photography, many themes emerged that seem strangely familiar in an age when digital images of people's faces are snapped, copied, and sent out in their millions. Could it be that the new media are most successful in places where they embody old desires? Since ancient times, physiognomy had promised, with the precise analysis of the exterior, the face, to finally decode a person's inner, hidden characteristics: with the invention of photography in 1839, this desire found a new medium. Hence the obsessive search for the true, the revealing, the "characteristic" in the millions of images of faces—faces of patients, of suspects, of job applicants, of marriage prospects, and all the other possible fulfillers of wishes, fixed with silver salts. Only these faces remained just what they had been before: mobile.
In a 1927 essay Siegfried Kracauer did not search for historical paradigms to fathom the secret of these photos, but reached for a magnifying glass. "This is what the film diva looks like. She is twenty-four years old, featured on the cover of an illustrated magazine, standing in front of the Hotel Excelsior on the Lido. … A glimpse through a magnifying glass shows us the grain, the millions of little dots that constitute the diva, the waves and the hotel." He continues ironically: "Never has an age been so informed about itself, if being informed means having an image of objects that resembles them in a photographic sense."
Kracauer refers to the "Believe me!" (delivered with a wink) that is embedded in every photo, the flirting with the illusion of the medium: this resemblance was not really meant to be so reliable. Four years later, in his movie M, Fritz Lang brought to the screen a series of close-ups of Peter Lorre's blurred and contorted face: a face that is reproduced in any number of manhunt images, newspaper pictures, and film posters. The photographer Helmar Lerski had also published his Köpfe des Alltags (Everyday heads), eighty faces from the Berlin underclass: cleaning ladies, the unemployed, day labourers, dramatically staged like film actors. "Everything is there in each face," remarked Lerski. "The only question is what the light falls on."7
All these photos reveal much more about the obsessions of the institutions that commissioned them than they do about the owners of the faces whose images they show. The spectacle of sociability, which was at first an aristocratic and subsequently a bourgeois phenomenon that produced millions of cartes de visite from the 1860s on; the state bent on identification and control that initially wanted photos of the insane and criminal suspects and, after 1915, sought to have passport photos of all its citizens; the popular press that in the 1920s began to develop an insatiable hunger for famous faces, for images of the faces of actors, politicians, and sportsmen; the booming market for contemporary art which in the 1970s catapulted the subjective self-portrayals of the makers of art, complete with their faces, into the exhibition rooms of galleries and museums; the new commercial social media channels of the last ten years with their compulsive need for selfies: all of them image factories, conveyor belts for pictures of faces, in potentially endless series.
Is this a bad thing? Perhaps. Your face, dear viewer, certainly remains your own—but only its living, unphotographable version cast in flesh and blood. Your image though, as we learn from our stroll through media history, has never been you. It was always only a shadow, a cluster of dots on the screen, a little bundle of pixels. It is a mask peeled off your face, the skin Diderot and Balzac wrote about. It takes on a life of its own—and begins to shimmy and flap, like one of those thin plastic bags that are so good at flying. Bon voyage!
And you will stay right where you are.

Crowley and Coombes included in Ireland's Six Nations squad
2022 Bank of Ireland Nations Series, Aviva Stadium, Dublin 12/11/2022 Ireland vs Fiji Ireland's Jack Crowley Mandatory Credit ©INPHO/Billy Stickland
WEST Cork duo Jack Crowley and Gavin Coombes have been named in Ireland's 37-man squad for the Guinness Six Nations Championship.
Innishannon man Crowley made his Ireland debut in the 35-17 win over Fiji at the Aviva Stadium last November and then started against Australia. His Munster team-mate Coombes also has two senior international caps and will be hoping for a chance to make an impression following his impressive recent form.
First up for Ireland is an away trip to Cardiff to face Wales on Saturday, February 4th. Then Ireland host France at the Aviva Stadium before two away games, to Italy and Scotland. Finally, Ireland host England in their final game of the competition.
'The Six Nations is a huge competition for us and another opportunity for us to grow as group. 2022 was a busy year as we got to work with a larger group of players as we continued to build our squad depth and competition for places,' head coach Andy Farrell said.
'While there are a few players carrying knocks and others that have missed out on selection for the start of the tournament, they will have the opportunity to push their case playing for their provinces in the URC over the coming weeks as no doubt we will need to call upon the wider group as the tournament progresses.'

There is something for everyone with this month's bulletin boards. From the littlest learners to those in middle school, bulletin boards can be a great way to use valuable classroom space to extend learning. Whether you are teaching the basics or want something more advanced, the ideas below will be perfect for your classroom.
There is no doubt that summer is on everyone's mind by the time May 1st comes along. Instead of fighting it, use the images and ideas of summer to encourage skill reinforcement. Choose seven to 10 summer activities and break them down into the steps to complete them. Cover the bulletin board with tan paper or fabric with a fun, summery print. Make a giant beach umbrella to put in the corner of the board and hang a beach bag from a hook either on the board itself or slightly below it. In the beach bag, have file folder activities for students to complete. Older students can create a flow chart for the different activities, while younger students can use pictures to sequence the steps to completion. Once a file folder has been completed, students can hang a beach ball or add a cut out sea shell to the beach scene bulletin board. Some possible activity ideas that you might want to include are: driving to the beach, building a sand castle, setting up a swimming pool, planting a vegetable plant, going for a picnic, etc.
Get students excited about moving on to the next grade with a letter writing bulletin board center. Cover the board with paper or a fabric of your choice and hang a poster describing the parts of a letter in the center of the board. Have your students write letters to the grade below them about what they can expect in the next grade. It is a great way to encourage your students to write and will help ease the fears of those moving up. If need be, younger students can draw pictures and dictate messages instead of writing the letters themselves.
Many teachers take pictures of their students during the first week of school. May is the perfect time to compare how your students have changed and grown throughout the year. Cover the board in plain white paper and cut out a large black camera from a piece of poster board. Hang the camera in the center of the board and place beginning of the year and end of the year pictures of your students around it. To make the bulletin board an interactive experience, have students write about what they were feeling on the first day of school and what they have learned throughout the year. Their essays can then be added to their pictures.
What are some of your favorite ways to decorate your bulletin boards in May? Share them with us below!
Great idea to have students write the grade below. I think that the idea could be used next year during the first day of school to ease fear of new grade and class.
I like the growing up bulletin board idea. I definitely need to get better at taking more pictures this year.
I, too, like the idea of writing letters to the grade below. I had heard of this idea before, but never used it. I will definetly use it this year, especially since our EOTY writing unit is letter writing. Next year, I will use the letters to create a welcome/back to school BB. Thanks for the idea.
I like the idea of writing the letters to the grade below them and creating a letter writing BB! Awesome idea!!
We make butterflies. Then I add some BIG flowers I purchased at Pat Catan's on the corners of the bulletin board. We always get a lot of compliments.
I love the sequencing idea!
I always use "Third Grade was a Ball" as a title. I buy mini beach balls and the students write their favorite lessons/memories from third grade. It is my favorite board of the entire year! It's always fun to reminisce with the students. I also take group pictures in front of the board (four to five students in each group) and share those pictures with each student. The beach balls are a little costly, but the real balls could be substitued with a copy of a beach ball. The students love it as much as I do!
have done the how have they grown idea differently in the past. interested in trying it this way.
I love all of these ideas! I am definitely jotting these down in my idea book. The camera board idea is great to be implemented for any age group. Thanks!!

People & Politics celebrates literary giant, Soyinka at 85
Today, People & Politics celebrate a strong critic of successive Nigerian governments, especially the country's many military dictators, as well as other political tyrannies, including the Mugabe regime in Zimbabwe, Akinwande Oluwole Babatunde Soyinka, popularly known as Wole Soyinka, as he clock 85.
The 1986 Nobel Laurel Award Prize recipient in Literature, born July 13, 1934, took an active role in Nigeria's political history and its struggle for independence from Great Britain. In 1965, he seized the Western Nigeria Broadcasting Service studio and broadcasted a demand for the cancellation of the Western Nigeria Regional Elections. In 1967 during the Nigerian Civil War, he was arrested by the federal government of General Yakubu Gowon and put in solitary confinement for two years.
During the regime of General Sani Abacha (1993–98), Soyinka escaped from Nigeria on a motorcycle via the "NADECO Route." Abacha later proclaimed a death sentence against him "in absentia. With civilian rule restored to Nigeria in 1999, Soyinka returned to his nation.
In his congratulatory message, President Muhammadu Buhari described the literary icon as a "universal brand" and one of Nigeria's "greatest prides."
He noted that Soyinka did not only excel in the academia but had also earned himself respect for lending his voice at critical moments in the country's history.
The President called Soyinka a man of "courage", whose selflessness was worthy of emulation by the younger generation of Nigerians and Africans.
The message read in part, "President Buhari joins family and friends of the cerebral academic in celebrating the many years of laudable achievements, recognition, awards, and consistency, all which have cumulated in pride to Nigerians, Africans and the black race.
"The President salutes Prof Soyinka for his intellectual momentum, interventions on state issues and polity through articles and comments, penchant for justice, and persistence in holding leaders to account.
"As he clocks 85, President Buhari affirms that Prof Soyinka's lifestyle sends a message to all Nigerians and Africans, especially the younger generation, that real success is measured by the intangibles of courage and impact brought to the life of others, rather than pursuit of personal interests.
"The President congratulates the literary giant for projecting Nigerian and African values to the world, wishing him more years of health, wisdom and service to the nation and humanity."

Lipoma Treatment Options: What Is The Best Choice?
Lipomas are benign tumors that occur in soft tissues. About 1 out of every 100 people will develop a lipoma, meaning you have about a one percent chance of getting one of the benign tumors. For most, they don't pose any type of harm. Colonic lipomas are those that occur in the gastrointestinal tract. Most cause no issues, and are only found incidentally during routine procedures.
How Is A Lipoma Diagnosed?
In most cases, a lipoma in the colon is found during a colonoscopy. During this test, it is usually possible to diagnose the tumor definitively based on its appearance and certain tests that rule out cancer and other dangerous growths. In other cases, contrast imaging may be needed to ensure the tumor is a lipoma. In these images, the growth should appear circular and smooth with clean edges. Occasionally, neither of these imaging tests can definitively rule out malignant growths, and the lipoma can only be accurately diagnosed after removal. This may lead to a more intensive surgery than might otherwise be necessary to remove a benign growth. This is an extremely rare situation.
Is A Lipoma Causing My Symptoms?
Benign tumors in the colon can cause bleeding from the rectum, abdominal pain, constipation and a condition known as intussusception, when a section of the colon telescopes into itself creating a fold. Only rarely, if at all, does a colonic lipoma cause symptoms. The most common symptoms of a lipoma in the colon are the most minor: abdominal pain and rectal bleeding.
Typically, doctors find that lipomas that cause symptoms are larger than typical, often more than 2 cm. If the growth is not treated, it may lead to anemia, nausea, weight loss and more severe gastrointestinal issues.
If only minor symptoms are present and a definitive diagnosis of a colonic lipoma can be made, your doctor may not recommend surgery. If you are experiencing ongoing or severe symptoms, however, you should discuss your treatment options with your doctor.
How Are Lipomas Treated?
In the past, problematic lipomas were treated with an invasive operation to remove the growth, often removing a section of the colon. Thankfully, today's medical technology makes this type of surgery rare. While open surgery is occasionally called for, even large growths can usually be removed laparoscopically during what is sometimes called a keyhole surgery. Some can even be removed during an endoscopic procedure such as a colonoscopy. Because some therapeutic options may lead to more complications than the tumor itself, it is important to work with an experienced doctor when deciding which treatment best fits your needs.
Is Endoscopic Removal Possible?
Previously, only small and non-symptomatic lipomas were removed endoscopically during a colonoscopy. Today, more tumors are being removed in this minimally invasive way. While larger tumors often still require surgery, tumors smaller than 2 cm can usually be removed during these procedures and the diagnosis can be confirmed through lab testing.
The reason larger tumors cannot always be removed endoscopically is because of the risk of weakening the colon wall, leading to perforation. This is especially true if the base is broad. Some doctors may inject the tumor's base with a saline solution or medications to help prevent complications before endoscopic removal.
Ultimately, deciding if your lipoma can be removed endoscopically will be left up to your doctor. Some specialists are more comfortable removing larger tumors this way, and others prefer more invasive treatments because they can have fewer complications.
What Type Of Surgery Is Used To Remove A Lipoma?
Laparoscopic surgery is the most commonly used treatment for larger lipomas or those that cannot be definitely ruled out as cancerous lesions. Small, broad-based tumors may also be removed this way in order to protect the colon wall from hemorrhage or perforation. This surgery requires several small holes be cut in the abdomen to access the colon with special tools.
Laparoscopic lipoma removal is preferred over a traditional open surgery for a number of reasons. It requires only small incisions and the recovery period lasts only a few weeks. Patients spend less time in the hospital, and have less pain. Their bowels also typically return to normal faster. These factors make this the best approach for removal of tumors that cannot be removed endoscopically.
Whether it is performed laparoscopically or in an open surgery, removal of a lipoma from the gastrointestinal tract typically involves either making an incision in the colon, removing the lipoma and closing the incision or completely removing a small section, known as a segmental resection of the colon. Your doctor will determine which is best based on your individual situation. The decision should take into account the size of the growth, where it is located, whether there is a definitive diagnosis of a benign tumor, and any other complicating factors.
How Should I Determine What Is Best For Me?
The best way to weigh your options for colonic lipoma removal is to talk to your doctor about the pros and cons of each treatment based on your individual situation. It is important to remember, though, that your doctor is there to help you make the best decision for your own health and well-being. Chances are, today's technology will allow you to recover faster after endoscopic or laparoscopic removal of the tumor. In rare cases, however, more invasive surgery may be necessary. But remember, the need for surgery for colonic lipomas is exceedingly rare.
