ISLAMABAD: When powerful men meet to discuss explosive issues, things can change in a big way. And that is precisely what happened after a highly secretive and immensely important meeting at the Presidency a few days back. The subject, not unexpectedly, being the fate of American killer Raymond Davis and that of Pakistan-US relations. Little did anyone know at the time that the huddle would instead end up deciding the fate of Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi.
The meeting, convened by the president was attended by Prime Minister Gilani, Babar Awan, Rehman Malik, Shah Mehmood Qureshi and the DG ISI Gen Shuja Pasha. The president was given an exhaustive overview of the entire situation but quite early in the meeting it became evident that two of the men were standing on the wrong side of the prevalent dominant wisdom and desire of somehow finding a way to retrospectively cough up diplomatic immunity for Davis and to just wish away all the four deaths and the lingering crisis. But since one of the 'erring' two dared not be arbitrarily fired, poor Qureshi's fate stood sealed.
Considering the hue and cry being raised by the US on the Diplomatic Immunity and his illegal detention of Raymond Davis a few days back from Lahore when he killed two people in cold blood.
It seems the United States of America has a very short term selective memory in 2001 after 9/11 it arrested and picked up Mullah Abdul Salam Zaeef from Islamabad who was then the Afghanistan Ambassador to Pakistan. He was detained in Pakistan initially in 2001 and then held until 2005 in the Guantanamo Bay detainment camp.
I am sure the serving Ambassador had full Diplomatic Immunity as accorded to his status under the Vienna Convention, whatsoever may his linkage be with the Talibans but he was beaten, tortured, handcuffed, and dragged naked in a US Helicopter before being airlifted to Guantanamo Bay, where were the laws that time, where was the diplomatic immunity and where was the Vienna Convention at that time. The US so staunchly claims for a consultant employed by the US Consulate in Lahore.
International Youth Conference & Festival is to be held in Islamabad from 6th-9th of December which will attract students from around the globe. The four day conference will give an opportunity to students from around the world to interact and learn from each other experiences. The conference has been organized by Miradore Productions and Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, in partnership with Khudi Pakistan and Ministry of Youth Affairs is also supported by Google, Youtube and NCHD and Ministry for Women Development. Students from US, UK, Turkey, Somalia, Malaysia, Thailand, Bangladesh and Scotland are expected to come to Islamabad to attend the event.
The focus of the event is to highlight the role of youth in peace building and to bridge cultural, regional and religious gaps. Participants will also discuss ways to work for women empowerment, disaster management and use of modern social networking tools to help in these areas.
The Solidarity Day is organized under Aman Ittehad — a citizens' platform connecting trade unions, media, students, lawyers, youth organizations, minority groups, NGOs, academia, and business. The Solidarity Day will express a resolve to strive for stronger democracy and democratic institutions.
Yet again Pakistani's find themselves, lined up, shoulder to shoulder offering prayers for the departed. The brazen attack during Friday namaaz has clearly shown the audacity and ability of the militants present within Pakistan. On the one side, the suicidal mission that was led out is a direct signal to the Pakistan Army (the attack was taken out in the officers residential colony in Parade Lane, Rawalpindi Saddar) for retreating its forces in the tribal region, while also visibly proving that these militants are not Muslims. The issue for me however is, why have our top brass only been visible at the namaaz-e-jinaza when one of their own has lost their life? Poor Peshawar has been witnessing non-stop death and bombs. It surely has been a while since I saw or read the Prime Minister being in this troubled city of Peshawar, rubbing shoulders with us and praying for those who have lost their lives due to actions taken by the state.
Questions that must be asked of ourselves, (a) Can we trust our present leadership to tell us the whole truth, with honesty? (b) Can we trust America to NOT do such a thing and we believe the denial as per the US Ambassador, a representative of a country whose 233 year history is full of military operations, even if we were to, for a moment ignore this last decade of destruction and carnage?

i think i can i think i can-"Thinking I can," just ain"'t enough
Commentary By Harvey Winje
For decades neighbors here have said, I think I can. I THINK I CAN! That "Little Engine That Could" chant became "We think we can. WE THINK WE CAN!" Thinking alone wasn"'t enough so they added hard work""phone calls, meetings, leaflets, lobbying, money raising, and much more. Finally, they were often able to say, We thought we could, WE THOUGHT WE COULD, We Did, WE DID!"
Remember this old ad? "When America has a problem, America turns to Black and Decker." In America, after 911, when the United States government had a problem it began increasing employment of Blackwater and other private, profit making companies for high level security intelligence work.
Locally, when we have a problem, we don"'t turn to Black and Decker or Blackwater. Initially, we don"'t turn to private companies, politicians, or bureaucrats to solve our problems and innovate. We depend again and again on neighbors. Hats off to those neighbors who voluntarily under-gird our community year after year, decade after decade with dedicated work to improve the quality of our urban life.
Their optimism behind each of our page one stories really began four decades ago in this "Community that Could."
The Phillips Pool and Gym story began when neighbors envisioned and worked for a pool and gym to be attached to Phillips Junior High School. They were successful only to see the school itself torn down a decade later by a school board and city council run amok. They weren"'t able to stop the demolition of the school building but were able to save the pool and gym building albeit without a heat source. Ironically, had e-mail and other electronic communication (forcing the transparency that alerted neighbors in March 2010 to the filling of the pool with dirt and concrete) been available in 1984 to rally neighbors and more quickly expose the ill-conceived plans of the bureaucracy and politicians; then perhaps the school could have been saved. Had they saved the school, they wouldn"'t have had to buy Mt. Sinai Hospital five years later and remodel it into a school.
The East Phillips Park site was well on the way to be developed with dense housing until neighbors initiated action to have it changed into a park after houses were demolished. Neighbors knew the overwhelming needs of a high youth population that needed recreation facilities in equal ratio to children in other parts of the City. The drive for a park facility and staffing has also been neighbor driven.
In 1992 after a 12 year struggle, Phillips neighbors prevented a garbage transfer station from being built in Phillips and anywhere in Hennepin County. Out of that struggle arose the Green Institute and the ReUse Center. We will soon find out whether the signs of reduced hours, lessened inventory, a suburban store closing, week-long 50% off inventory clearance, many employees laid-off, diminished service, and executive leadership forced to resign mean we neighbors need to embark once more in preserving the fruits of those labors.
Along the paths of each of these projects there has been set back after set back. Often the adversity has been the doing of others by whom the projects were managed ""bureaucrats, politicians, or non-profiteer executive directors many of whom were driven by mercenary goals or otherwise divergent goals than the goals of the neighbors who fashioned the projects with their volunteer leadership.
Let us hope that the current efforts of community building and enhancement last for years because safeguards are included to protect the work for the "Community that Could.

Fun, laughter, music, workshops, networking and dancing – the Feel at Home In The Hague Fair last Sunday (31st Jan 2016) was a huge success!
A wide cross-section of internationals from The Hague were out in colourful fashion – displaying, in their own unique ways, what it is that makes this city feel like home to them.
The AATG (Anglo American Theatre Group) filtered through the crowd draped in colourful and wacky costumes, dressing up willing victims that crossed their paths.
Orchestra's, dancers and choirs decked the podium and balconies of the Atrium, serenading us with painstakingly practiced numbers – aimed to enchant.
Set in such a vast venue – one may have had doubts about the Fairs ability to fill such a space – but The Hague's City Hall (or Atrium) proved, once again, to be the perfect spot for this occasion and the Feel at Home community, were more than up to the task.
Embracing this years theme of 'innovation' – exhibitors were given islands to do with what they would. From the school quarter, which was transformed into a type of technology playground, and an allotment dedicated to chocolate sculptures – to blocked off floors and meeting rooms dedicated to business-building seminars and ex-pat oriented workshops.
Over 4,000 children, career men and woman, families, student media crews, exhibitors, seminar lecturers, costume-clad performers (and the busy men and women that worked behind the scenes to keep it all running) intermingled, shared meaningful looks, smiles, information and generally a very jovial time.
Making this truly the biggest international community event in the region!
Interview's, information and eventually a video of the Fair will also be uploaded over the coming weeks – to keep you all abreast of the what, who, when and where's of our bustling city!

Since its inception some 60 years ago, the "P3" shape (named so because of a 3mm difference between lens width and height) has been considered one of the most versatile shapes in eyewear history. Our Archer frame features slightly oversized proportions that ensure it feels just as modern now as it would have five decades ago. The Archer is great for medium to large faces and the hidden flex hinge provides an unexpected touch of luxury.

Lucifer er en amerikansk fantasy-comedy-drama, udviklet af Tom Kapinos. Serien, der havde premiere på Fox den 25. januar 2016, omhandler en figur skabt af Neil Gaiman, Sam Kieth, og Mike Dringenberg taget fra tegneserien The Sandman, der senere blev hovedperson i spin-off-tegneserien Lucifer skrevet af Mike Carey, begge udgivet af DC Comics' Vertigo-imprint. I april 2016 fornyede Fox serien med 2. sæson, der havde premiere den 19. september 2016. Fox, annoncerede den 21 maj 2018 at man havde valgt ikke at fornye Lucifer for en 4 sæson, da serien ikke passede ind i den retning netværket ville tage. Dette fik fans til tasterne på de sociale medier, især Twitter og skabte på rekord tid et trend med #SaveLucifer hvor fans på tværs af kloden kæmpede for at redde deres favorit serie. Den 15 juni 2018, på selve dagen hvor skuespillernes klausuler ville udløbe til serien, offentliggjorde Netflix at man havde sikret sig rettighederne til at sende Lucifer fremover og at man havde bestilt en sæson 4. Med i opløbet om at opkøbe Lucifer var ligeledes Amazon Prime.

Network Architecture Lab director Kazys Varnelis and New York University Professor of Media, Culture and Communication Helen Nissenbaum co-authored Modulated Cities: Networked Spaces, Reconstituted Subjects, the ninth and last of the Situated Technologies pamphlet series for the Architectural League of New York.
In this pamphlet, the authors seek a redefinition of privacy in the age of big data and networked, geo-spatial environments. Digital technologies permeate our lives and make the walls of the built environment increasingly porous, no longer the hard boundary they once were when it comes to decisions about privacy. Data profiling, aggregation, analysis, and sharing are broad and hidden, making it harder than ever to constrain the flow of data about us. Cautioning that suffocating surveillance could lead to paralyzed dullness, Nissenbaum and Varnelis do not ask us to retreat from digital media but advance interventions like protest, policy changes, and re-design as possible counter-strategies. The launch of the pamphlet was marked by "Situated Technologies: Beneath and Beyond Big Data," a symposium the Situated Technologies group and the League produced current issues surrounding situated technologies and the increasing entanglement of data, technology, and the built environment, and attempt to identify future trajectories for their evolution.

The Avalanche-Journal is focusing on covering the importance of the upcoming census in Lubbock. Look for stories throughout the year.
Census organizers are looking to show the changing face of Lubbock and the South Plains.
Because the entirety of Lubbock's projected 20,000-person growth over the decade is expected to come from its growing number of minorities - not its shrinking, aging Anglo population - the Census Bureau is targeting the Hispanic community and other historically hard-to-count groups to make sure the area's changing demographics are reflected in the 2010 Census.
The number of Hispanics in Lubbock is expected to jump by nearly 17,000 people to more than 71,000 - making up about 33 percent of the city's population compared to 27 percent in 2000, according to city estimates.
"They'll be a third of the community," said David Buckberry, a city planner and local coordinator for the 2010 Census. "The Hispanic population is growing so much because they're a much younger population."
The average age of Hispanics in 2000 in Lubbock was 24.2 years - more than five years younger than the citywide average of 29.7 years.
Hispanics likely will account for the largest portion of the city's growth. The rest of the city's 20,000-person expansion is expected to come from a 13-percent increase in the black population - growing by more than 2,200 people to roughly 19,100, a steady rate over the last three decades, as well as growing numbers of Asian, American Indian and multiracial people.
The Anglo population is expected to shrink by about 1 percent, from 122,330 in 2000 to 120,804, according to the city's 2010 estimates.
That expected growth in Hispanic and minority populations has census organizers working to make sure those groups are accurately represented because they historically have lower response rates on the census, said Josh Silva, a Lubbock-based partnership specialist with the Dallas Regional Census Center.
"We just say that everybody needs to be counted," he said. "We don't ask for citizenship. We don't ask for Social Security. We just count people."
Across West Texas, Silva said, census officials will focus on hiring bilingual census takers to help collect questionnaires from hard-to-count groups.
Along with the growing Spanish-speaking population, he said, census officials are concerned with communicating with Mennonites in Gaines, Dawson and other southwestern counties in the South Plains. Mennonites, he said, often live in isolated communities, speak German and Spanish, and many don't speak English.
Silva said full-time census staff will man questionnaire assistance centers in towns and cities this spring and summer around the South Plains to provide assistance and help answer questions.
Census organizers also have targeted Hispanic and other groups with census events and informational booths at area grocery stores such as Amigo's in Lubbock and Plainview and local Catholic and Hispanic Baptist churches, Silva said.
The 2010 Census began earlier this month when the bureau mailed census forms to about 120 million households across the country. Each household has more than two weeks to fill them out and return them beginning Census Day on April 1.


Working together, we will retain our unwavering focus on quality, grow where we can maintain our quality and build on our partnerships within City, within London and across the world.
Maintain quality trajectory ('better'). Build on the quality focus of the Strategic Plan 2012 to 2016 and maintain City's current upwards trajectory in research intensity, research quality, education quality and student experience more widely. Further improving quality will remain vital to our success and is what drives the people who work at City and attracts the students whose lives will be enhanced through their time here. City also plans to grow, with a firm guiding principle of 'quality-constrained growth', growing while maintaining or increasing quality.
Achieve growth ('bigger') in a way which maintains quality. Growth is important to achieve the critical mass necessary for both research excellence and educational experience and effectiveness. Critical mass can result in improved quality without significant increases in costs (through economies of scale). Over the next five years growth will come vertically for existing subjects that have momentum and horizontally, where City's existing strengths can be leveraged through new and joint degrees or shared pathways and through improved student retention. Growth in student numbers will be accompanied by growth in research and enterprise income as City builds further on its internationalism and seeks a wider range of income sources.
Leverage partnerships within City, within London (including through the University of London) and internationally with the aim of making us far more connected.
These strategic priorities will guide City's activity over the next five years and will be made operational through the Education & Student Strategy, Research & Enterprise Strategy, Internationalisation Strategy, People Strategy, School and Professional Service Strategic Plans and, ultimately, people's individual objectives reviewed as part of the annual appraisal round.


Komatsu takes its responsibility as steward to earth and the environment very seriously.
The HB215LC-1 is a hybrid excavator that uses what normally would be wasted energy to power its' swing and boost its' engine output while saving up to 30% in fuel consumption and emissions. The HB215LC-1 captures the energy produced during swing braking and stores it in a device called an ultra-capacitor. Unlike chemical batteries you may be familiar with in other hybrid vehicles, the ultra-capacitor is able to store energy immediately and make it available for use immediately also.
Electric mining trucks run diesel engines to produce electric power to drive their electric wheels. What if you have an ample external power source like a hydroelectric dam making inexpensive power? How can you utilize that power to run your mining trucks and save millions of dollars in fuel? That is exactly the problem Komatsu engineers were asked to solve. And solve it they did by creating trolley systems. In mines with very long uphill hauls, overhead trolley power lines were constructed.
Today, the average construction machine idles up to 30% of its operating time. This idle time wastes fuel causes wear on the machine, racks up operating hours and introduces thousands of tons of emissions unnecessarily into the environment. By reducing idle time a machine operator can positively impact his company's bottom line by reducing fuel consumption and turning machine idle hours into actual working, money making hours.
All construction equipment manufacturers have to meet Tier 4 interim engine requirements. But the technology each manufacturer uses to meet the requirements varies. At Komatsu, we took the approach that Tier 4 interim technology should not hurt performance, should reduce downtime to a minimum and be as seamless as possible to the operator. And we accomplish those goals through some unique, advanced technologies.
The Tier 4 Final solution builds on the Tier 4 Interim technology. Tier 4 Final adds Selective Catalyst Reduction (SCR). SCR uses AdBlueR/Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) to reduce NOx by injecting the correct amount of DEF at the proper rate, decomposing NOx into non-toxic water (H2O) and nitrogen gas (N2).
Komatsu remanufactures used engines, transmissions and other key components (parts) of construction and mining equipment into remanned components that have the same high quality as newly manufactured components.

Report: Woman alleges Bartolo Colon fathered 2 children with her
New York Mets pitcher Bartolo Colon was in a Manhattan courthouse Monday to face a woman who alleges in a lawsuit that he is the father of her two children, the New York Post reported.
Colon, who has been married to his wife, Rosanna, for 21 years, was sued one year ago by 38-year-old Alexandra Santos, who alleges the 42-year-old pitcher hasn't paid child support for two children he fathered with her.
The suit, according to the Post, was filed as Anonymous v. Anonymous, but because Colon represented himself at one point, he is listed as an attorney in the case.
The newspaper reported that documents in the case are sealed and that Colon and Santos signed a confidentiality agreement last month. The sides are due to be in court again in June.
Colon has four boys with his wife and has not publicly acknowledged the 8-year-old son and 7-year-old daughter Santos alleges he fathered.
Rosanna Colon, contacted by the Post, said she was aware of the lawsuit and the claims that her husband has other children but otherwise declined comment.
Bartolo Colon, the oldest active player in the majors, is making $7.25 million this season on a one-year contract. By the end of this season, he will have made more than $101 million in his 19-year career.
"Mr. Colon obviously is a very talented baseball player and he earns a significant income, and we believe that his children should share in the lifestyle they would have enjoyed had their parents remained together," Evan Schein, the attorney who represents Santos, told the Post.
The newspaper reported that Colon's attorney didn't return multiple messages left for him.
Colon started Wednesday night against the Washington Nationals but did not pitch well. He was removed with two outs in the fifth inning with the Mets trailing 3-1, having allowed five hits and five walks. The Mets went on to lose 7-1.
Colon insisted the Post report was not a distraction.
"When I'm here doing my job, nothing else affects me," he said through a translator. "I have nothing to add to that. I don't care to talk about my personal stuff."
Colon has become a celebrated player in baseball because of his 5-foot-11, 285-pound frame and his comical at-bats and adventures on the bases. He made national headlines May 7 when hehit his first home run, becoming at 42 years, 349 days the oldest player to hit his first career homer.
Topps sold 8,826 trading cards with a picture of his home run in a 24-hour period, a record for the company.
Colon, through Wasserman, the agency that represents him, filed for the trademark to "Big Sexy" on April 19, according to a record from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Colon intended to use the trademark on athletic apparel, including T-shirts, pants, shorts and hats.
This week, he forged a partnership with limited edition T-shirt maker Represent to sell a "Bartbino" shirt, a reference to one of Babe Ruth's nicknames, "Bambino."
ESPN's Darren Rovell and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Since the late 19th century stenciling was the most common method of printing patterns and information on materials. Especially with the evolving industrial revolution and the faster delivery of goods and boxes, items had to marked in an easy and fast way. Especially in the USA it became very popular. In the workwear section in was not only popular to mark boxes and items but also workwear with a company logo or the workers name.
Hence, we want to show you today how a denim coverall is stenciled in the correct way.
Logo stencil, regular semi gloss paint and a sponge.
First you have to make sure that you have a flat and even surface like a big table or box. Place the item on the table and remove all wrinkles and stretch the fabric a little bit. You can also fix it to the base if the fabric is too soft.
Then you place the stencil on the item and fix it to the fabric. For the perfect paint distribution we recommend to use a piece of cardboard on which you put a little bit of paint. Then take the sponge and dip it into the paint..
Any excessive paint should be removed by dipping on the cardboard where there is no paint. Then carfully start to go over the stencil.
Make sure you do not use too much pressure since paint may go under the stencil. Use less paint first until you get a feeling for the paint distribution.
Go over the complete stencil. Let it dry.
If the effect is not enough go over it once again.
Remove the stencil and let it dry for at least an hour.
The stencil will fade over time when washed.

Like my pilot-father, I also dream to conquer the world – 21-yr-old Emily Nkanga
On May 22, 2016 1:12 amIn Feminista, Newsby akintayo eribake
By Soni Daniel
Strong ambitions run deep in this family. And the dreams are always for positive reasons. Young Emily Oluwatoyin Nkanga is only keying into success story of the family she was born into 21 years ago. The brilliance, success and the 'we-can-do-it' spirit of the members of this family have marked it out and endeared them to many in the community and beyond. The pace-setter and Emily's father, Air Commodore Idongesit Okon Nkanga of Ikot Nya, a tiny faming hamlet in Nsit Ibom Local Government of Akwa Ibom State, is a well respected political leader in the state. He dreamt big, aiming to become a pilot at a time when the knowledge of such a subject was not only very limited but was almost unknown to the average rural family in the then South Eastern State. Those who knew about piloting as a career must have considered it to be for the 'white men' and not for a poor rural boy like Nkanga, whose parents laboured stridently to be able to pay his secondary school fees at the time. Notwithstanding the hurdle, the young man, surmounted all the hurdles and set a new record in his school by recording 6/6 in his WAEC School Certificate, meaning that he scored A1 in all the six subjects: English, Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics, Additional Mathematics and Biology.
Buoyed by the performance, he went ahead to pass all other examinations and graduated from the Nigerian Defence Academy, joining the elite corps of pilots in Nigeria. He schooled in many first class air force training institutions across the globe and ended up as the Commander of the Presidential Air Fleet, PAF.
Apparently riding on the crest of her father's history, 21-year-old Emily, who speaks both Yoruba and English fluently, is aiming for something that will also shoot her out like her father. But unlike her father who flew aircraft in the skies and stood out like a colossus, Emily is holding something else in her hands, desiring to use it and influence lives, change situations and circumstances with a view to altering society's mood for the better and recording history.
Emily Nkanga
The tool in her hand is the camera, which she has been joyously fiddling with in the past five years now. The instrument is now part and parcel of Emily's life and she has come to reckon with the reality as she learns to make the most out of photography and film-making. When her parents dispatched her to study at the prestigious American University of Nigeria, AUN, Yola, little did they know what nature had deposited in their daughter. As she arrived in Yola and settled in for studies, it became clear to her that nature has endowed her with the gift of taking wonderful pictures and interpreting roles in films, just like Joseph was equipped by God with the gift of interpreting dreams. And she grabbed the opportunity with two hands and has never looked back.
To get her fully prepared for the job she has chosen for herself, Emily studied Communications and Multimedia Design (TV/Film) and ended up with a good grade by the time she left the school. As a proof that she knows her onions, many individuals and groups are already angling for her photos. She proved her mettle even as a student by visiting the Internally Displaced Persons by Boko Haram insurgents and making tear-dropping albums that have been displayed in far-away University of Liverpool as part of her school project. As an ensign of endorsement of her work, the project has been accepted and hosted by Tailor and Francis, one of the most prestigious publishing journals hosted by the University of Connecticut in the USA as a research material.
Miss Nkanga, who is now serving as an NYSC member for her compulsory one year service with Bantus Studios, a famous Photography House in Abuja, has also compiled many albums on fashion and other subjects now on display even though she is yet to host a formal exhibition.
"The camera has been instrumental in helping me to make friends with people from different walks of life," she admits. According to Emily, photography gives her some sort of adrenaline. She says she draws most of her inspiration from everyday activities and fine art. For Emily, it not only about talent, it's about the willingness to work tirelessly. "The ability to find a particular theme, subject, place, etc., dig into it and create something special is what sets me apart. This is consistent with other photographers whose work people admire," Miss Nkanga said.
As she sets her eyes on the future, Emily says, she wants to be so professional and thorough that the world will look in her direction whenever the issue of photography and cinematography is mentioned. "I want to become a professional photographer and filmmaker. I want to be so good that when people see my work, they will immediately remember Pablo Picasso and Michael Angelo, two of the world most revered artists. I want it to be that every time they have to give reference to photography or film making in Nigeria, they always have to call my name. Actually it might sound like a cliché but I want to be the best I can actually be because I don't want to just come and when it is time to leave the earth, my name just goes or they just said, oh, yes I remember she used to be.
"To be honest I feel good when I look at where I am today and considering where I was about four years ago. So I really think that if at this point if I have achieved something like this, I don't think there is anything that is impossible; I just need the drive the more in order to succeed.
For Emily, everything seems to be working in her favour and the sky appears to be the only limit. As she forays into the world of photography and cinematography, her parents are on her side giving her all the necessary encouragement and support to fly higher. The young artist says: "I am actually very happy for the kind of parents that I have because they are very supportive. They are not the type to tell you this is what we expect you to be, or that but actively support me as long I am able to do well, as long as I have the passion for it and as long as it is nothing negative. They are in full support of it".
Given her experience in life and school so far, Emile gives an idea of what drives her always and where she is going. "I want to advise young Nigerians to see hard work as a way of life: they should also be able to work smartly because even though even though you work hard and if you don't work smart, you will still have some lapses; so hard work is the key.
"After every job, I always think of ways to improve myself, to make sure that I am not found wanting in any aspect of my career. People say that when talent doesn't work hard, hard work beats talents. So I believe to an extent I am talented so I want to put the talent and the hard work together. I don't want any of them to overshadow the other; so that is actually what has been my drive.
"In terms of quality I think there is always room for improvement but for now I think, I am on a good side. But in terms of creativity, I personally don't think creativity is a competition. As long as you can appeal to a certain audience, I think you are fine. Where the problem lies is where you have creativity and you cannot even express it and maybe your quality of images or how you deliver this body of work.
''To pave the way for her to perfect her talents, the fair-complexioned Nkanga, who is an introvert, plans to go for a Masters Degree in Cinematography and film production. She says, "After my masters, I will face the film making side where I actually want to end up. I think photography is just one of the many stair cases I am climbing. My actual goal is to be a film maker. So photography as a step and then I do my masters in cinematography, then I can now start film making proper".
She has a simple advice for her peers: "Don't waste your precious time if you have anything to do; go ahead and do so. Whatever you have to do, start now," she counsels.
"And in terms of wasting their time, I see a lot of people on social media using it for negative things. I actually think they can use it for positive things. Apart from word of mouth, what also helped me was the social media. I see people make money off social media everyday and I see people who just wallow and waste their time on social media. So I think it can be used for other beneficial things.
''When I started photography I had times when I needed to put out a project, it was challenging but I didn't let this challenges actually pull me back. I tried and tried and tried. I think they should start now and shouldn't say I still have to do NYSC and I still have to do this thing and that; you would do those things but you can also do some things by the side''.

Mineral Privatization for the Masses: Remembering Guillermo Yeatts (1937–2018)
By Robert Bradley Jr. -- December 13, 2018
"The major international energy issue should not be climate change. It should be, per Guillermo M. Yeatts, country-by-country privatization of subsurface mineral rights to benefit the mass of surface owners and would-be entrepreneurs."
He was a true friend of private property, free markets, the rule of law, and goodwill for all. He was a successful entrepreneur in the US and Latin America. He was a thinker and doer, building up an intellectual case for public policy reform and acting on it. And for a lot of us, he made classical liberalism more fun.
Guillermo M. Yeatts recently died just short of his 81st birthday. Born in Buenos Aires, he studied in America and successively rose in business in the US and in Argentina (see Appendix A). As he advanced, he embraced classical liberal think tanks at home and abroad, including the Foundation for Economic Education (FEE), the Institute for Energy Research (IER), the Atlas Society, and Fundación Atlas 1853.
Meeting Yeatts
In 1996, I received a phone call from an enthusiastic gentleman planning to publish an English edition of his primer, El Robo Del Subsuelo. Billy Yeatts, as he preferred to be called, had read the mineral rights chapter of Oil, Gas, and Government: The US Experience and invited me to write the foreword for what became Subsurface Wealth: The Struggle for Privatization in Argentina (FEE: 1997). I wrote in part:
[There is] a general economic maxim: public [government] resources are really private, owned and exploited by a political elite, while private resources are really public, owned and managed by a multitude. Government-owned resources do not "belong to all of the people" and allow "self determination;" they belong to none or a very few.
Next came an invitation from Yeatts to come to Buenos Aires for a conference on this subject. My presentation in April 1997, "Private Subsoil Rights for Public Good: The U.S. Oil and Gas Experience," was published in Propiedad del Subsuelo y Privatizacion en America Latina (FEEL: 1997). Six months later, I again visited Buenos Aires to give a talk to the Center for International Studies, University of Belgrano, "Seminar on U.S. Oil and Gas Property Rights."
I became fast friends with the quite debonair Billy Yeatts. I was flattered by the rare opportunity to venture abroad to lecture and visit his private estate (replete with a polo field). Yeatts gave me a new business card (!), Director, Fundacion de Estudios Energeticos Latinamericanos, and he joined the board of directors of my small nonprofit at the time, IER.
Last Communications
Back in August, Billy called me about the possibility of working again on subsoil privatization scholarship for his side of the world. He then wrote an email a week or two later to report that a worsening situation in Argentina had put the project on hold. (His last communication to me is in Appendix B.)
Until the very end, he was thinking-and-doing for his cherished goal of expanding private property rights from the surface to the subsurface to democratize wealth and create market incentives to produce greater mineral wealth.
When that time comes, may Billy Yeatts be remembered as the father of a great idea. Ideas have consequences, and his time will surely come.

Dear Robert
I am sorry I did not get back to you yesterday morning but a huge scandal of the Peronista corruption machinery (10 high officials arrested) hit the press which will have strong influence over what is discussed in future conferences,
Today we are faced with a severe economic and financial crisis which the present government hesitates to cut expenditures because Peronistas control 60% votes ( they are divided in 3 main blocks). The cut in expenditures are subsidies mainly to working class and unions. The IMF has granted Argentina $ 50,000 million in loans to clean up the corruption inherited from the Peronista administration during the 12 years of administration but many in the present administration are reluctant to take this step.
I will keep you in touch with the outcome.

Do you need a full-length front zip and big pockets? If not then you could slash your jacket weight by wearing a smock instead. The OMM Cypher is a smock that weighs in at just 266g, and it could be just the job when weight really does count.
The Cypher is stripped down to the bare essentials, so you just get a hood, one small chest pocket for a compass and a short zip for ventilation. The design is free of too many seams as these add weight and reduce breathability. The hood is particularly good as it has a large wired peak, and the fit and movement with the head are outstanding. You can't roll the hood down and secure it at the collar, though. There are a couple of reflective patches on the sleeves so you can be seen during the night sections of a mountain marathon too.
But perhaps the most important feature is the fabric – eVent, a well-proven material that has excellent breathability and durability, due in part to its three-layer construction. So in terms of condensation it is far better than all the two-layer fabrics such as Gore Paclite for example.
If we look at the weight, the OMM Cypher Smock is only 266g (men's L). There are some Gore Paclite jackets that weigh less, such as the popular Haglöfs Ozo Pullover at 212g, but because it's only two-layer fabric condensation is a real problem. So weightwise this may not be the lightest option, but it has other benefits.
The price is pretty good too at £180, as other lightweights come in at around £200. Better still perhaps is that if you do want pockets and a full-length zip you can get it in the form of the OMM Cypher Jacket for 280g and just £200. For hill-walking I'd certainly prefer the jacket, but if I was stripping down for a massive Munro-bagging trip I'd happily take thesmock.
Whichever way you look at it, the OMM Cypher Smock is one of the best lightweight tops out there for the hill-walker or mountain marathon competitor.
