We've had an epiphany
Dear Middleway Urban Monastery friends, So, the three in the picture were not particularly religious as best we know. But they heard about a baby that was going to be king, the story goes, and they were curious enough to go seeking. Just in case they found this kingly baby, they packed some gifts, but definitely not dolls and Teddy Bears. Tradition has it that these three were so taken by the baby Jesus they found that they gave the gifts, made a visit to the local king, learned of a jealousy-fueled plot to kill the newborn, and ultimately changed travel plans in order to protect the baby boy. This is remembered on Jan. 6 as Ephiphany. Some are more familiar with the secular use of the word "epiphany" as an "a-ha" moment. We've had a lot of epiphanies at Middleway over the last year. And each "a-ha" moment has brought us closer to another one of you, for which we are grateful. You're the reason for the programs we give. You're the reason we want to stay around forever as a gift to this community. And you can be a part of this community by coming and by sharing your gifts in so many ways. Keep reading to find out how. Middleway's Facebook Group

Gaming can be a spiritual outlet
They're known to improve hand–eye coordination, problem-solving skills, and the mind's ability to process information, but video games can also have a spiritual side. Come play with us Saturday, Jan. 14, 10 a.m.-Noon at a free workshop led by Amy Thompson and Heidi Campbell. Registration is required. Register
Grateful refinish
We want to thank Burr's Furniture in downtown Bryan for the speedy and beautiful refinish on our vintage card catalog. This piece was a gift from Bill and Donna Pohl and is central to the organization of our 1,600-plus book lending library. It was damaged by a leak after a rainstorm at the monastery. We also are grateful to our property manager, Life in Downtown Bryan, for handling the repair. Come check it out (and some books while you're at it).
Opportunities to help Every month, a regular visitor to Middleway appears bearing large packages of toilet paper and paper towels. Such things are necessary for a gathering place such as Middleway, and we've not had to give it a second thought because of this regular gift. It has been a huge financial help since Middleway is 100 percent volunteer. So one of the a-ha/epiphanies we had recently is that perhaps some of you reading this would like to take on other vital parts of our shared community. Below is a list of needs, some of which are regular and some are occasional. We also have a list of contributions you might consider to help sustain Middleway for years to come: To adopt one or more of these needs, email info@middlewayurbanmonastery.org or drop by to see us.

Website samples facebook
When new albums arrive in my mailbox and I am not familiar with the band, I always collect some data on the internet about the band and the album. Whenever there is a biography put into the envelope, I always read this first. The Morganatics are clearly well organized, because they had the biography included.
Because the band didn't ring a bell, I also collected some information on the internet.
Within a minute I learned that The Morganatics are from France. When I think of French music I think of not-mainstream, more or less avant gardistic- and stubborn music.
The album The Love Riot Squad vs The F-Word kicks off with the words "This man, the better man". When you are an insider you know that these are the words of the legendary John Lennon. His voice is unmistakable.
After these few words by John Lennon, dark- and heavy guitar sounds and Metallica-style drum beats filled up my living room. It was clear to me that the album had opened in style. To refer to the title of the album my first thoughts were "What the f-word is this?"
As mentioned The Morganatics are from France. The Love Riot Squad vs The F-Word is their third album release after the albums Never Be Part Of Your World (2013, see review) and We Come From The Stars (2015). From 2013 up to now there were some line up changes, but the band survived them. They stated that this process brought them progression. The album line up is: Seb (vocals, rhythm guitar, keyboards), Chris (vocals, samples), Lauris (Lead guitars), PM (bass guitar, unclean vocals), Franck (drums).
After listenening to the album for the first time, I came to an odd conclusion. What is about progressive rock and what is not? Pigeonholing so to say, my advice is: leave the spirit in the bottle!
Back to the odd conclusion: in my humble opinion The Morganatics are in the twilight of the progressive rock. When I do an educated guess, I think that a lot of the proggers put them next to the genre. But enough about what it is or not.
The Love Riot Squad vs The F-Word is an interesting album. The album floats over the musical landscape and touches down on several islands. I think it's best that I mention some influences and remarkable properties of their music.
Linkin Park is the first band that came to my mind, especially the vocals. The vocals of Seb have some interesting parallels with late Chester Bennington of Linkin Park. I think that Seb's voice would fit perfectly with Linkin Park. The power, but also the tenderness, have the same colour.
Most of the time the guitar parts are heavy and extremely tight. The clean guitar parts are so very lingering. There are several parallels with Porcupine Tree. I think it is always a compliment when someone compares you with Steven Wilson's Porcupine Tree.
Most of the vocal parts are male. The backing vocals are partly female. This is a concept that also is done by bands as Anathema and Retrospective.
Bass player PM does the "unclean vocals". Unclean vocals are a broad term. When you listen to this album you will find out that unclean means really unclean. Some parts of the vocals are grindcore-like. Hell is breaking loose at these time. Personally this is not my cup of tea. I'd like to hear what is sung. But's all a matter of taste.
When you mix up all named bands and concepts you will get something that looks like The Morganatics. Don't get me wrong on this on, what I try to say is that in this album the influences of the named bands clearly can be found.
In this review I've tried to create an image of what someone can expect. I think that for mainstream proggers this album is a bridge too far. But when you like the more heavy stuff, it is certainly a recommendation.
Personally I belong to the category "a bridge too far". Nevertheless I recognize the high skills and craftsmanship of the musicians. Therefor this album scores a 3 out 5 for me.

Dads are notoriously hard to buy gifts for. They have literally everything, and want actually nothing. And anything they do want, they probably already bought for themselves, anyway. Instead of buying him another gift he inevitably won't use, try one of these creative DIYs. We guarantee he'll love them, and you won't be asking him the next time you see him, "um, so where's that gift I got you?".
Because he's literally always losing his keys.
Get the tutorial at ManMade.
Now that you're grown up, you can give him the gift he'll actually want.
These tiny toolboxes are made out of altoid tins, and we are DYING.
Get the tutorial at AlphaMom.

Get the tutorial at Hello Lidy.
Do you know how much this would cost in a department store? TOO MUCH.

Corona, CA – The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) has announced that City of Corona, California has received the GFOA's Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for its 2017-18 Annual Budget. The GFOA's award program is the only national awards program in governmental budgeting. The Excellence in Budgeting Award was also received from the California Society of Municipal Finance Officers (CSMFO).
The awards represent a significant achievement by the City of Corona. In order to receive the budget award, the city had to satisfy nationally recognized guidelines for effective budget presentation. These guidelines are designed to assess how well the city's budget serves as a policy document, a financial plan, an operations guide, and a communications device. Budget documents must be rated "proficient" in all four categories, as well as the 14 mandatory criteria within those categories, to receive the award.
"Our budgeting process has evolved during the past year and this is a significant accomplishment for the City. Our staff showed great focus and determination in preparing a budget document that serves as an excellent planning, financial, and public education tool," said Corona City Manager Darrell Talbert.

Coronavirus Numbers
Georgia's COVID-19 case curve as of Dec. 3, 2021
Georgia saw a slight increase in cases for most of November.
Author: Katelyn Heck
MACON, Ga. — Georgia did see a rise in cases throughout November, but nothing compared to the surge the state saw this time last year.
Right before the state's two-week preliminary window, Georgia averaged 850 new cases a day in late November, up from an average of 817 at the beginning of the month. It's not a large increase, but a change from the steep drop in cases after the latest peak in August.
Over the weekend, state health officials announced the first Georgia resident to test positive for the new omicron variant, but as of now, the CDC shows the delta variant still making up more than 99% of cases in the state.
Bibb County also saw increasing cases in November. Cases doubled from an average of four new cases a day in early November to eight new cases a day right before the preliminary window. Case numbers stay elevated through the preliminary window, which could signal that cases will plateau or continue increasing as the state factors in more test results.
The exact opposite is playing out in Houston County. Houston saw a small spike in cases in early November, but dropped from 16 new cases a day down to six before the preliminary window.
Credit: WMAZ
Deaths tied to the virus have dropped significantly from the latest peak in September.
Meanwhile, the state continues to see fewer Georgians die from the virus. Right before the preliminary window, the state averaged seven deaths a day. That's way down from the 117 deaths recorded at the latest peak in September.
Within the last week, Georgia started to see increasing hospitalization rates.
Hospitalizations are starting to increase slightly in Georgia. The state averages about 114 new patients a day. That number dipped below 100 a week ago.

Modern orthodontics is not just for children! More than 50% of our orthodontic patients at Dental Artistry are adults. The range of treatments available to us means that we can custom-make an orthodontic plan for you that fits your lifestyle and budget, and cosmetic options such as tooth-coloured braces and Invisalign mean that straightening your teeth no longer involves a mouth full of 'train tracks'.
Orthodontic treatment can not only improve your appearance and self esteem; it can also improve the health of your teeth, gums and jaws. Poorly aligned teeth are more difficult to clean, increasing the risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and bone loss. A bad bite can cause abnormal wear of the teeth and TMJ (jaw joint) problems.
Many of our adult patients have orthodontics in conjunction with other treatments such as tooth whitening, porcelain veneers, dental implants and amalgam filling replacement. The varied skills of our dental practitioners ensure that patients can have all of their treatment needs filled here at Dental Artistry.

From a career point of view networking with quality people is always a good thing, make that an essential thing. Recently the Garden State Woman Education Foundation hosted one of their quarterly networking and learning events at the Park Avenue Club in Florham Park. Over 50 NJ professional, corporate and business owning women attended.
Dr. Lorraine Maita from Short Hills shared her expertise on how we can all "Live Younger Longer." Obviously the audience was sitting on the edge of their chair for this discussion!
Jenny Rosselli, one of New Jersey's few certified kettle bells instructors with a training facility in Fairfield, gave a short overview on the history of kettles bells (they originated in Russia) and then had the audience on their collective feet watch her demonstrate her exercises.
The peer to peer networking was exceptional. Written feedback from attendees all rated the event as outstanding. The learning portion of the evening was special with the two featured presenters.
Jenny started off her kettle bells discussion talking about how she came across kettle bells in her quest to get back in better shape, i.e. lose weight, get stronger and have more energy following the birth of her second child. Using the Weight Watchers program had helped knock off the weight and traditional ways of exercising but Jenny didn't feel completely back in shape. Initially intimidated by the thought of using kettles bells Jenny became more comfortable after speaking with a kettle bells user from the Secret Service and after Googling Kettle Bells for Women. Now Jenny has taken her genuine belief in kettles bells as an effective way for almost everyone to develop themselves physically. She has started, along with a partner, a kettle bells fitness center in Fairfield. Many of the women at this networking event already have started training with Jenny.
During her demonstration Jenny emphasized how virtually everyone can benefit from using kettle bells. She mentioned her 7 year old daughter exercises with them as do 65 year old clients. Jenny went through a series of exercises that she does with the kettle bells in getting a good cardio workout, building stronger bones and greater strength and keeping her weight under control. All of the exercises Jenny showed the group stem from the core exercise called "the swing."
You can learn more by visiting the following two web sites: www.howtoliveyounger.com and www.njkettlebells.com.
Watch for information on future Garden State Woman quarterly networking events.
Judy Chapman founded Garden State Woman, Inc. in 1998 and the Garden State Woman Education Foundation 501(c)3 in 2007. In recognition of the need for women everywhere, including New Jersey, to take firmer control of their futures and their families' futures - in a world that is still not equally balanced between the opportunities and rewards provided men and women - for equal efforts in many aspects of their personal and professional lives.

Jenna Elfman Is Ready to Cross the Pregnancy Finish Line
Updated January 11, 2010 06:00 PM
Calling herself "reproductively opportunistic" when she discovered her character on Accidentally on Purpose would be pregnant during the first season, Jenna Elfman let husband Bodhi know it was now or never! "Luckily Mother Nature went along with that and helped us out. Everything went pretty smooth," she shared recently on The Early Show.
And while she may have planned this pregnancy, Jenna was not prepared in the least for all that it has entailed! "I looked five months pregnant when I was three months pregnant," she admits.
Quick to clarify that carrying a baby is, indeed, a "great thing," it was the initial rough start and now, the last leg of the journey, that has her hoping the end is near.
"In that first trimester you're showing a lot, but you don't look pregnant. And then the last trimester you feel a little bit like a whale. The middle one is kind of fun. Four, five and six months — that was fun."
That same burgeoning belly, notes Jenna, is often quite the attention-seeker when out and about. "I'm seven months [but] I look much bigger and many people like to say that as I go through places like the airport," she says. "The guy who's in charge of baggage was telling me how humongous I was. I said, 'Awesome! I flew all the way here, thank you, I appreciate that.'"
Despite the not-so-subtle observations, an understanding Jenna isn't looking to place blame.
"I think they go into baby mode and they don't realize there's a whole female package that has an aesthetic awareness."
As for soon-to-be big brother Story Elias, the proud mama says her 2-year-old is ready for his new role. "He gives my belly kisses and says, 'Baby,'" she raves. "[He] wants the baby to come out and play trains."
Jenna is due with her second son in early March.

Q: Flutter :I've a problem of context with my dynamics menu I've a problem of build context with my dynamics menu.
In fact, I want to create a menu dynamically but I don't know how to use the context in _MenuItem's class.
Is there an alternative method?
my code :
class Home extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      ...
      body: MenuButtons(kMenuCard),
    );
  }
}

class MenuButtons extends StatelessWidget {

  final List<MenuCard> _menuButtons;

  MenuButtons(this._menuButtons);

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return GridView.count(
        crossAxisCount: 2,
        children: _buildMenu()
    );
  }

  List<_MenuItem> _buildMenu() {
    return _menuButtons.map((button) => _MenuItem(button)).toList();
  }
}

In this part my IDE note me : "missing a build context" and Idon't know how to implement the buildContext differently
class _MenuItem extends GridTile {

  _MenuItem(MenuCard button)
      : super(
    child:GestureDetector(
      onTap: (){Navigator.push(context, "${button.route}")},
      child: Card(
        color: Colors.teal,
        child: Center(
          child: Text("${button.title}"),
        ),
      ),
    ),
  );
}

A: You Need to pass BuildContext to Your _MenuItem class:
Updated Code:
@override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return GridView.count(
        crossAxisCount: 2,
        children: _buildMenu(context) // Pass Context
    );
  }

List<_MenuItem> _buildMenu(BuildContext context) {
    return _menuButtons.map((button) => _MenuItem(button,context)).toList();
  }
}

class _MenuItem extends GridTile {

  _MenuItem(MenuCard button,BuildContext context)
      : super(
    child:GestureDetector(
      onTap: (){Navigator.push(context, "${button.route}")},
      child: Card(
        color: Colors.teal,
        child: Center(
          child: Text("${button.title}"),
        ),
      ),
    ),
  );
}

For the record, that was my bet. I haven't played the demo yet. I definitely will. I'd love to have two super high quality racing games like this. Seriously. If GT5 was awesome I'd even put up with the PS3 controller to sink a hundred hours into it. I just don't think it will be. I imagine the physics will still be solid, but with the same disconnected feel that was there before. We'll see.
GT5 Prologue's physics felt pretty accurate (and are actually much more realistic than Forza when it comes to AWD cars), but you don't feel nearly as connected to the road as they do in Forza. There's something in Forza's modeling of tires and the way traction with the road works that feels right. Gran Turismo has never had this, and it's one of those seemingly small things that makes a huge world of difference when it comes to actually playing the game.
In a perfect world the two dev teams would pool their resources and make one ultimate console sim racer. Polyphony would do all the visuals and car modeling and Turn10 would do the physics and interface stuff.
It would swallow my soul.
The thing that makes me scratch my noggin about this demo is that they have turned all the driver assists off, and it's not even an option to have them on. I'm sure they did it to even the playing field for the contest, but I think that alone will turn many casual racers off of it right out of the gate. And most people probably won't even realize why it feels so off. Especially when you compare it to GRID or NFS Shift for sheer driving feel, which those game do superbly.
For the record, that was my bet. I haven't played the demo yet. I definitely will. .
Ah, my apologies for the misquote.
It just seems a shame that they can get one part of it so right (visual, etc) but seem to miss on the other major parts.
That would be amazing but of course it would never happen, I would die a happy man if that ever did occur though.
I say the following as a gamer that prefers arcade racers. I generally know what I like, but I like to also give some of these games chances they perhaps never deserved.
With that said, I didn't much care for the Forza 3 demo, and I doubt I'd like the GT5 one any more. But I enjoyed Gran Turismo 1 - buy a crap car, supe the heck out of it, and race it - crap AI or not, it was about the car and if I could pull ahead of the leader faster than last time. I played #4 last year, and it's not bad, but it got very... repetitive. Circular tracks? Oblong tracks? Hexahedron tracks? Honestly, I'm get tired of going in circles. It was ok 10 years ago, but for me, it has become boring.
And on another note: 10 years later and I still couldn't care about damage modeling. When I careen my car off a cement divider on the track and "Do A Barrel Roll!", limping to the finish line is not my idea of fun. Just crack my rear window and loosen my rear bumper, and I'll be fine. Affect my performance and I'm gone.
I'm seriously considering sigging that.
NFS Shift for sheer driving feel, which those game do superbly.
This is very much semantics, but Shift nailed the experience of driving fast. They nailed the look and sound of it. The feel of driving was pretty far off from driving a real car.
I've found that racers that can successfully straddle the arcade/sim line offer up the most thrills for my tastes. Recent games like Codemasters' GRID and DiRT 2 have taken waning interest in clinical racing sims (Forza/GT) and all but shattered any interest I ever had in them.
I certainly respect the sims for what they are, though.
Yeah, Grid and its ilk are definitely different kinds of games than Forza or GT. They both involve racing and cars, but that's about where the similarities stop.
My issue with Shift has always been that it claimed to do both arcade and sim and in reality it just did a crappy job of both. Grid was a much better game.
That's what I meant, but it's sort of the same thing in my experience driving actual circuits on track days and doing Solo II events. The feeling of speed and the weight and momentum of the vehicle.
I just ran several laps in the "upgraded" Z car, and this demo is the anti-fun. Perhaps it was designed for a wheel and pedals setup, because it is unwieldy with the Dualshock. It did do one thing extremely well: Make me want to play Burnout Paradise really, really bad.
Why does any racing game default to using face buttons instead of triggers for acceleration and braking? Totally lame.
Just played the demo this morning and am a bit baffled. The demo is clearly an extremely stripped down version of what the final game will be, and without being able to change assist modes and whatnot I left wonder what their aim was with this demo release. Were the simply rushing to get something, anything, out during the holiday season?
In any case, the lack of feedback from the driving model was rather disappointing. I honestly can't comment on its physics, as I don't know how much was my imagination or the game, as I didn't feel the game was communicating what was going on all that well. Part of this might be that the Playstation controller just doesn't work that well for precision driving, even after remapping the throttle and brake buttons to the triggers, but like ThinJ mentioned there's a serious disconnected feeling about driving the cars in the demo.
Tried it again. Still very disappointed. The worst part for me is that I was looking so forward to driving the road course at Indy. I've been there for the F1 race and the Ferrari cup stuff, and I know the layout of the track. It's just so un-fun to drive in GT.
Sony announced that the Japanese release of Gran Turismo 5 has been delayed from its unspecified March date to an undecided future date, to be announced later. Sony apologized for the inconvenience, citing some kind of "circumstances" around the release date. No concrete information was provided about what exactly caused this drastic move.
Things seemed to be looking up for Gran Turismo 5 for a while. Sony announced a March release for Japan and a tentative summer release for North America, sent out a very popular demo, and even revealed the North American box art design. But this latest move suggests that Polyphony's latest racer may not be as close to the finish line as expected.
maybe they got some specific feedback from the demo... maybe?
I'm saying it now... This game will never come out.
The problem by pushing it back they are killing the buzz around it - releasing a game when it's perfect isn't a viable software release model and I honestly think that, when it does arrive, Forza 4 will have trumped it more so than Forza 3 would have.
Meh. Needs more turtle shells.
I arise this thread to ask but one question: "NASCAR?"
Shall we just use this as a catch-all?
I know Forza has pretty much stolen the crown in the absence of a proper GT game, but I'm anxious to see if GT can take it back come November 2nd.
I think my biggest issues with this game are all hinged on how long it's been in development. I was willing to overlook things before, but the longer the wait goes on for the final product the more and more annoyed I get with its every mention. This game has been in production for ages now, and yet it still doesn't offer things that Forza started offering on the original Xbox.
Some might argue that it isn't about that stuff, and that's fine, but to me it just means this game's going to attract a crowd I don't want to play the game with.
And as oft discussed as it has been, this is borderline trolling, but the PS3 controller is still sh*t.
That might not matter if I was setup for the racing wheel, but I'm not. I play these games from my couch. That is the way I will continue to play them. I tried a wheel, and it didn't work for me. I simply don't have the setup for it.
The fact that the demo's driving model still gives the player that same feeling of disconnect between what you're doing with the controller and what the car's doing in the game that it had back in the Prologue release is sort of the last straw. Pretty sure I'm out, no matter what.
The rally and head-tracking stuff has me interested. I would also like to hear more about the split-screen options. Although I still feel like I haven't put as much time into Forza 3 as I should have. I used to use racing games as a time killer, but with so many other good games out (combined with a busy schedule) I haven't had any time to kill lately!
"HDMI 1.4 Stereoscopic 3D @ 60fps"
PS3 has a massively overbuilt and upgraded HDMI 1.3. port that is essentially feature equivalent to 1.4 anyway.
Edited for truthiness. My understanding is that without that overbuilt HDMI port they wouldn't be able to do 3D at all, which I believe is the situation the 360 is in.
Agreed, but if you're playing driving games (well, any, but especially driving) on the PS3 without these, then you're only hurting yourself.
I don't have a problem with the shape of the triggers. I think in the interest of not derailing the thread I'll leave it at that, lest we bring up more of the same old discussion.
But seriously, GT5 just has this giant queue of problems, all lined up and waiting to tell me repeatedly not to spend my money.
Which in a way is great. I could do with some money saving.
Edited the thread title to reflect this.
You must not have played the demo, you poor thing.
I am sure someone will swing in here and tell us that writing off the game based on the demo is just plain wrong (maybe it is?), but I got the exact same impression as you, Thin_J. I would think that with all the driving assists turned off, as they were in the demo, it would make the driving feel more seat of your pants, intense, and connected, but it was the opposite. The driving felt sterile, the inputs didn't seem to have a direct bearing on the behavior of the car, and it gave about the same sense of speed as a trip to the grocery store in a 1984 Oldsmobile station wagon.
After pouring dozens of hours into NFS: Shift, which, despite its many shortcomings, gives you a fantastic sense of speed and makes driving very exciting, there's no way I can convince myself to pay $60 for GT5. Also, I am not convinced that it will actually be released on Nov. 2.
QFT. I don't know how it is that devs are able to convey a sense of speed, but I didn't feel any in the demo.
In the case of NFS: Shift, it seems to be conveyed by making the movement of the car's cockpit independent of what's going on outside, giving you a head-wobble sort of effect. Combined with the fact that you're looking through a very small window out of the cockpit and the very thoroughly textured tarmac surface, you get a very good sensation of speed.

Obasanjo's hatred towards Niger Delta disappointing – says Clark
SAINT MIENPAMO
Leader of the Pan Niger Delta Forum and Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Ijaw National Congress, Chief Edwin Clark, on Wednesday slammed former President Olusegun Obasanjo over what he called a disappointing display of hatred against the people of the oil-producing states in Nigeria.
The elder statesman was reacting to a recent outburst by the former President in Abuja, where he attacked the National Secretary of the INC, Ebipamowei Wodu, at a peace and security parley convened by the Global Peace Foundation and Vision Africa.
From the forum themed 'Inclusive security dialogue: Unbundling barriers, a strategic meeting for key influencers', emerged a viral video in which Obasanjo was tackling Wodu for saying the Ijaw were being treated like second class citizens in Nigeria despite producing the oil and gas resources that had sustained the country.
In an open letter to Obasanjo on Wednesday titled, 'My disappointment over your unprovoked outburst against the people of the Niger Delta region', Clark accused the former President of double standards over resource control in the country.
He said while Obasanjo talks tough and insists that resources found in any state belong to the entire country, he had kept mum over the gold reserve in Zamfara State.
Clark also noted that it was the practice of the principle of derivation in the 1960 Constitution, which allowed states ample opportunity to benefit from their local natural resources, that enabled the old Western Region under Chief Obafemi Awolowo to make the money that enabled it to "develop far ahead of the then Eastern Region."
He said, "With all due respect, Your Excellency, your outburst towards your fellow participant in a summit to which everyone present was invited, is, to say the least, disappointing, when you displayed a hate attitude against the people of the oil-producing states in Nigeria. You openly interjected both Wodu and Mr O'Mac Emakpore each time they tried to speak.
"Natural resources found in regions were controlled by the people of the regions in the country as enunciated in Section 140 of the 1960 Constitution.
"As a former military Head of State of Nigeria (1976-1979), and later a democratically elected President of the country (1999-2007), I am certain Your Excellency knows that the principle of derivation has always been top on the agenda of our national discourse before and after the country's independence.
"Need Your Excellency be reminded that it was the practice of the principle of derivation that enabled your region, the Western Region, then under Chief Obafemi Awolowo; and the Northern Region, then under Sir Ahmadu Bello, to reap all the money that enabled them to develop far ahead of the then Eastern Region.
"From the benefits of the practice of derivation principle, the Western Region introduced free education, built universities, the first television station in Africa, among other economic and social infrastructure, including hiring at the time, an Israeli company, Soleh Bonel, to develop roads and other infrastructure."
Referencing Obasanjo's argument that resources were placed in the soil by God, therefore, free for all, Clark said such a notion "will definitely mean chaos and anarchy, as anybody in any part of the world can enter into any land, including Your Excellency's Ota Farm, to undertake any activity that they desire to do."
He further challenged the former President's selective outburst on the Zamfara gold reserves, saying, "By the way Your Excellency, may I ask you, why have you not made a similar outburst against the open declaration of the governor and the people of Zamfara State that the gold under their soil belongs to them?
"Where was Your Excellency when people went to the Villa, accompanied by the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele, to present a gold bar to President Muhammadu Buhari mined by the government and people of Zamfara State, as their property?"

The Land Cruiser is Toyota's current flagship for their current SUV division, a car released back at the end of 2007 which only received an update back in 2013. While most people expected an all new car, the 2016 Toyota Land Cruiser is actually going to be another update of the older model, an update which is expected to be around for roughly 3 years when it is going to be replaced with the new generation of the car which is likely going to ditch its body on frame construction for a more conventional uni-body design.
Until then though, the new Land Cruiser is going to be a better looking version of the current model and not much more. While Toyota hasn't said anything about it just yet, just a few days ago there has been a massive leak which shows a brochure of the Japanese model of the car, explaining the new features and having a clear picture of the car. It seems that this new model is going to be closer in terms of equipment as well as quality to the Lexus LX, its close relative. This has been a long wait especially when we factor in its base cost of more than $80,000, more than most other cars in its class.
On the outside, the new 2016 Toyota Land Cruiser is going to change for the better. The front end seems to be revised quite heavily, with a new grille with integrated headlights which do make the car appear wider. On top of that, the bumper has also been changed and it now features different looking fog-lights as well as a subtle grille that runs across the width of the car. The headlights are now dual-Xenon units with integrated LED lights while at the back it will get a new set of LED tail lights as well as a new chrome bar which will span across the width of the rear tailgate.
The inside on the other hand is expected to get quite a few updates with more equipment available in the base model. Things such as a meter that will show how steep the current road is, it will get blind-spot warning lights in the mirrors as well as a new type of parking sensors which should make the massive 2016 Toyota Land Cruiser easier to park in the city. The quality of the materials will also be a lot better with a softer material on the dashboard as well as all leather and aluminum inner trimmings.
Under its hood nothing is going to change, so it will still offer the same naturally aspirated 5.7 liter V8, good for 381 horsepower and 401 lb-ft of torque, enough for its class but its fuel consumption will always be just too high for it to make sense in the current market.

Turkey postpones trilateral meeting with Sweden, Finland after Quran burning
The decision came a day after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan told Sweden not to expect Turkey's support on its NATO bid after Rasmus Paludan, the head of the Danish far-right political party Hard Line, burned a copy of the Quran on Saturday outside the Turkish Embassy in Stockholm, Sweden.
Sweden and Finland submitted their formal requests to join the NATO in May 2022, which were initially objected by Turkey, a NATO member, citing their support for anti-Turkish Kurdish organisations and political dissidents, Xinhua news agency reported.
A month later, Turkey, Sweden and Finland reached a memorandum of understanding (MoU) ahead of the NATO summit held in Madrid, Spain.
In the MoU, Ankara agreed to lift its veto on the NATO bids by Finland and Sweden, which in return pledged to support Turkey's fight against terrorism and address its "pending deportation or extradition requests of terror suspects expeditiously and thoroughly".
The Turkish parliament has not ratified the Nordic countries' NATO bids so far, citing that they have yet to meet Turkey's requests.

Shaun the Sheep Movie (2015)
Where There's a Wool, There's a Way
Aardman's Shaun the Sheep Movie is a miraculous thing. It's an animated movie that embraces true physical humor, as the likes of Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton once did. It is, in essence, a silent movie, with no spoken words. Characters grunt and mumble and make verbal noises, and these noises often indicate intent or emotion, and there are a few pop songs, but not one actual word is spoken.
Even more amazing is the fact that it's an adaptation of a TV series in which individual Shaun cartoons run only about 7 minutes each. Adapting these tiny snippets to an 85-minute film is a difficult task, not unlike the adapting of a short "Saturday Night Live" sketch to a feature film. But Shaun the Sheep Movie is beautifully crafted, beautifully paced with a cohesive story, big laughs, logical rest breaks, and a few surprises.
In the shorts, Shaun the sheep and Bitzer the dog intermittently play practical jokes on each other and on the farmer who's in charge of them. Sometimes the pigs get involved. Sometimes good deeds are done. In this movie, Shaun decides it's time for a vacation. (The movie opens with an absolutely brilliant montage depicting the mind-numbing daily routine of the farm chores.) He and the other sheep establish an elaborate scheme to put the farmer to sleep so they can slip away. Unfortunately, the trailer where the farmer snoozes breaks loose and rolls downhill to the big city. When he emerges, he has lost his memory. Shaun, Bitzer, and the other sheep team up to find him and bring him home.
In one of the best jokes, the farmer's haphazard clothing (including the remnants of a brief hospital stay) match the chic, stylish clothing of a local hairdresser. Using his inherent shearing skills, the farmer cuts the hair of a famous person, gets a job at the salon, and becomes famous. Meanwhile, the animals befriend a helpful city dog and attempt to avoid a local animal trapper called Trumper.
The movie does stoop to some occasional bathroom jokes, but it also has plenty of more intricately designed slapstick and visual gags. In other words, it has big laughs for kids and grownups. Co-directors Mark Burton, who worked on the screenplays of Chicken Run (2000) and Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005), and Richard Starzak, a veteran writer/director of the "Shaun" TV show, deserve a big hand (or hoof). If not for the unparalleled genius of Pixar's Inside Out, Shaun the Sheep Movie would be the animated film of the year.


This a a rather comprehensive book on acrylic. The type and use of acrylic I'm familiar with is painting. This book covers a way more than just painting.
The book starts off with an introduction to the materials, the paint, mediums, tools and their effects. This is where I learned the many mediums available for mixing with acrylic and for preparing the boards for painting.
Second part of the book covers the various techniques possible with acrylic. You can read about using acrylic grounds, creating textures, layering, pouring, glazing, thickening, thinning and many other techniques. The effects of each technique looks great.
When I look at the beautiful examples in the book, there is no way I can guess how they are created. This book demystifies and explains what's possible with acrylic and the possible applications. It's an eye opener. It's like listening to a magician revealing a trick.
If you're into acrylic, this book is a must buy. It's a wonderful resource and reference packed with lots of information. The author Rheni Tauchid has done a terrific job making the book really in depth.


As a crystal whisperer, I have taken each lapis lazuli egg through a shamanic Whispering Ceremony that supports the development of the crystal's energetic abilities. This enables the crystal to be a highly energized, meditation partner to deepen your meditation.
A silk pouch is enclosed with your lapis lazuli egg.
This listing is for one Whispered egg: approximately 1.8 in. (4.6cm) x 1.3 in. (3.3cm) — slightly smaller than the rose quartz eggs. All these crystal eggs are Earth-made, lapis lazuli crystals.

'Maria Monk (June 27, 1816 – summer of 1849) was a Canadian woman whose book Awful Disclosures of Maria Monk, or, The Hidden Secrets of a Nun's Life in a Convent Exposed (1836) claimed to expose systematic sexual abuse of nuns and infanticide of the resulting children by Catholic priests in her convent in Montreal. The book became a best-seller' (Wikipedia).

Neighborhood and Civic Life
For a city to thrive, it is essential that neighborhoods are safe and accessible, and that residents have the opportunity to access city services and hold the city government accountable. Oakland residents face disparities based on where they live in the city, with majority non-White neighborhoods faring worse than majority White neighborhoods. Neighborhood differences rooted in historical segregation result in disparate outcomes for people of color, especially African American and Latino residents.
Tags equity race report equity indicators neighborhood and 5 more
A safe, clean, and healthy environment is a key component of neighborhood quality. The three Indicators in this Topic explored different attributes of neighborhoods that have an impact on resident health. The first Indicator compared park quality in Council District 1 and Council District 7. The second Indicator compared the rates of service request for illegal dumping in majority Latino and majority White census tracts. The third Indicator compared the pollution burden score in majority Asian and majority White census tracts.
The Civic Engagement Topic measures three different aspects of an engaged community working to improve conditions and collectively shape the future of Oakland. The first Indicator compares the percents of drains that have been adopted in majority Asian and majority White census tracts through the Adopt a Drain program. The second Indicator compares voter turnout rates among residents in Council District 7 and Council District 1. Finally, the third Indicator compares the percent of the population that is Spanish-speaking with limited English proficiency (LEP) and the percent of city public contact position (PCP) employees that are bilingual in Spanish and English to ensure that LEP status does not inhibit access to city services.
The Built Environment Topic includes three Indicators that measure the safety, resilience, and quality of Oakland neighborhoods. All three of these Indicators measure geographic disparities based on the majority race/ethnicity of census tracts. The first Indicator in this Topic measures disparities in the location of streets where there have been a high number of pedestrian injuries. The second Indicator measures disparities in the location of soft story buildings, which are prone to collapse in the event of an earthquake. The third Indicator measures disparities in the location of residential addresses that have been vacant for two years or more.
The three Indicators in the Transportation and Infrastructure Topic measure the different ways Oaklanders travel in the city. The first Indicator measures racial and ethnic disparities in car access, which is important due to the heavy reliance on cars for commuting to work, school, and other places. The second Indicator measures the frequency of buses along each segment of the network and compares majority non-White/mixed and majority African American census tracts. The third Indicator is a citywide measurement of curb ramps that are accessible to individuals with limited mobility, including seniors and those with physical disabilities.
