Knowing how much electricity you use each month is important to finding the cheapest electricity plan. For Houstonians, usage is typically the lowest in the winter and highest in the summer. Your specific usage levels can be determined by simply looking back at previous electric bills and finding the kWh used. To avoid electric bill surprises during the peak summer months, you'll need to accurately know your peak electricity usage which typically occurs in August.
4Change Energy is a Texas electricity provider built on decades of industry experience, innovation and inspiration. It was founded on the idea that electricity should be affordable and contribute to where you live, which is why we're committed to helping our neighbors in need through charitable contributions. Tell us which of our four organizations you want to support and we'll make a contribution on your behalf. It's that simple.
The cheapest rates are going to have shorter contract terms. For instance, a 3 month term is cheaper than a 6 month term and a 6 month term is cheaper than a 12-14 month term. So if you are able to remember to call before your contract expires (they will notify via mail you that your contract is about to expire), then the 3 or 6-month term is your best bet. If you don't call to renew/cancel, you will be charged a much higher variable rate on a month-to-month basis. If this is you, sign for a 12-month contract term with the cheapest rate.
2. Most companies have this basic $9.95/mo charge if you don't meet a certain kWh, usually 1000 kWh (Reliant is 800kWh minimum). That will pose a problem in those more temperate months like in the spring and fall because although you're paying lower kWh,you're paying that extra $9.95/mo for no reason. ASK YOUR ENERGY PROVIDER WHAT THE LIMIT IS. I got a minimum of 800kWh/mo with Reliant; if I go under 800kWh, I will have to pay $9.95. Good thing about Reliant is that they do a weekly energy usage report, and you can keep up with how much you may owe. That's pretty useful to me, considering I live in a smaller space, thus less usage.
With over 2.3 million residents, Houston is the largest city in Texas and the fourth most populated in the United States. Encompassing over six hundred square miles, Houston stands as the fifth most popular metropolitan area in the country and gets its name from the commander who won Texas' independence from Mexico in 1836. The city lies in the southeastern portion of the state within a deregulated Electricity market and as such, allows residents to select an energy provider from the various service companies that serve the state.
Not only does Amigo Energy feature useful resources on our blog, but we have the right technology to help you track your residential electricity usage and take actions that may help with energy savings. We offer the latest technology (phone apps, smart thermostats, and even smart sprinklers) so you can worry less about your electric bill and focus on what really matters in life.
We use our experience and connections in the electricity industry to find a plan that fits your needs. We provide you with a detailed report, with recommendations for making the right choice, so you can make an informed decision about which rate and plan are right for you. Once you select and approve your change, we handle it from there, so your transition to a new electricity provider is hassle-free. Have questions about switching to a lower electricity rate and a new service plan? Please call us today at 214-446-2210, or send us an email.
Texas has one of the most thriving electricity markets in the country, and Houston is reaping the benefits. In a state that has plenty of oil, as well as a rapidly growing renewable sector, electricity providers are flocking to its largest city in search of customers. This is good news for residents of the city of Houston. Companies are competing for electricity contracts, and are willing to offer customers great deals to get business.
Comparing electricity plans in Houston means more than just looking at plans to find the lowest rate. Be sure to take a look at each plan's Product Details to get a better idea of what each one entails. These fact sheets are more than just supply rates per kWh and term lengths; they include information on base charges, utility fees and cancellation fees. They also can include features such as usage credits, green energy products or even free weekends.
Patrick Mays, an engineer for an oil and gas company in Houston, recently went shopping for a new electricity plan and found that the best deal available would cost about 55 percent more than what he's paying, boosting his average rate to 9.5 cents per kilowatt hour from 6.1 cents under his expiring 12-month contract. The power bills for his 2,000-square foot home will climb an average of $30 a month over the year, he said, but he will take the brunt of the rate increase during the hot summer when he estimates his monthly bill will top out at $186, nearly double the $95 he paid last year.
Using an average of 1,063 kWh of power each month, Houston's electricity consumption rates exceed the national average by over 100 kWh. As a city however, it does manage to maintain a lower monthly energy charge than the rest of the US, incurring an average fee of $99 in comparison to the $112 national monthly average. To further save on their plans each month, residents can choose from a selection of Texas-based energy suppliers and service plans.

A whole year now since I posted anything on this blog!
Photo taken from Eilat in Israel in 1963. Aqaba in Jordan can be seen in the distance.
I am currently reading The Seven Pillars of Wisdom by T.E. Lawrence in an attempt to view the background of the current hatred between East and West following the attacks on Paris lately. I borrowed the French version of the book written by Lawrence at the end of the First World War. It may sound odd but I am indeed finding the roots of the problem there.
"Au cours de cette longue expédition, lui (Mohammed) et le chérif Nasir ne ménageraient pas leurs efforts pour améliorer mon arabe, me donnant tour à tour des leçons, l'un m'enseignant le parler coloré du désert, l'autre la langue classique de Médine. Parti d'une pratique hésitante des dialectes tribaux du moyen Euphrate (forme non impure), mon arabe était devenu difficilement localisable, un salmigondis, parlé sans peine, qui associait patois du Hedjaz et lyrisme des tribus du Nord, le tout émaillé de tournures littéraires syriennes et truffé d'expressions et vocables familiers empruntés au parler limpide du Nedjed. Cette aisance dans l'expression cachait une absence totale de grammaire qui faisait de mon propos une perpétuelle aventure pour ceux qui l'écoutaient. Les nouveaux venus me supposaient originaire de quelque région inconnue, dépotoir indifférencié des catégories grammaticales, des modes, temps, genres, nombres et cas de l'arabe."
I don't know if what I am going to write here proceeds from any wisdom, we'll see. I will tell of my own experience in the Middle East in the years 1963-66 when I was 19 and 20, memories that forbid me to hate Arabs. Or Jews.
I recall being welcome once under their tent in the hills of Galilee by a family of bedouins as if I had been sent by God himself. Sitting there with the smell of green coffee beans being roasted in a rusty frying pan over an open fire I enjoyed their hospitality with sheer wonder. In tiny cups I was offered this strong beverage with a taste of cardamon. Everyone laughed when having put my empty cup down the Arab hostess poured some more in it. I was explained in half arabic half hebrew that by putting your cup down you meant you wanted some more! To this day the smell or taste of cardamon recalls this happy moment in a bedouin's tent.
My first experience of the desert was a trip on board a big and heavy lorry traveling from Beer-Sheva to Eilat across the Neguev through the night, a warm night full of bright stars in an atmosphere of invisible people. The desert is full of invisible people, friends or foes, you don't know!
I lived and worked in a kibbutz, i.e. a collective farm, for a whole year. During the winter we worked under a shed sorting and packing flower bulbs. We were three at the job, an English guy, me and an Arab from the village across the road. The 'boss' was one of the kibbutz founders who had fled Austria in his teens during the second world war. We were all very good friends and worked well together.
Six months later I became the girlfriend of my Arab colleague. When I left the kibbutz to go and work in Eilat, the then pioneer little town facing Aqaba on the Red Sea, my Arab friend took the risk to travel across the desert to come and see me. As an Arab he needed a pass to travel as far as Beer-Sheba. After that he traveled by bus at his own risk. He could speak both Hebrew and Arabic and did not look any different. He made it there and back. Although later, not being jewish or arabic, I chose to leave the country and marry an Australian citizen, I still keep a warm memory of the way his family had welcome me in his village.
Now in 2015, half a century later, wisdom tells me at the back of my brain that these were beautiful people. We have walked a slow path of horrendous hatred, us in the West and them in the Middle East. Why? The reasons may be political or economical. But plain misunderstanding is more likely to be the cause.
"Les Wahhabites, hérétiques musulmans fanatiques, avaient imposé leurs règles strictes à la paisible et civilisée al-Qasim. Dans cette ville, on ne pratiquait guère l'hospitalité du café, on priait et on jeûnait beaucoup; pas de tabac, pas de badinage avec les femmes, pas de vêtements de soie, d'ornements, de cordon d'or ou d'argent à son keffieh. Tout n'y était que piété ou puritanisme. Les hommes d'al-Qasim, des marchands qui alliaient goût de la vie et expérience du monde, trouvaient cela ennuyeux; leurs fils, moins patients, s'en allaient courir la fortune et les plaisirs."


The Utah Department of Transportation, in conjunction with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), conducted an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) study on 1800 North in the Clinton and Sunset communities of Davis County.
The EIS identified current and future transportation needs in the study area and considered the need for a new interchange with Interstate 15, a railroad overpass, and the widening of 1800 North between Interstate 15 and 2000 West.
The EIS is available online.


Pakistan's Advisor to the Prime Minister on Finance Miftah Ismail left for Washington on Tuesday to hold talks with representatives of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
The meeting is said to be crucial as the South Asian country is just a few weeks away from announcing its Federal Finance Bill for the financial year of 2018-19, Xinhua news agency reported citing local media reports.
Islamabad is set to unveil the federal budget on April 27.
Pakistan had successfully completed a 36-month IMF programme, which started in 2013. At the end of the programme, the IMF had praised Pakistan for its fiscal discipline and reforms programme.
Ismail will stay in Washington for three days where he will hold meetings with US officials.

Zebulun is a fabulous colt who has some of the best genetics around! Zeb's sire Big is a son of the first Gypsy Vanner stallion to set foot in America, Cushti Bok, and his dam Jasmine is Champion driving horse and original 16 import mare. Jasmine is also a daughter of The White Horse, one of the three original stallions identified by the Thompsons. His dam Chloe is double bred to The Gypsy King and also carries Latcho Drom and Shogun/Kent Horse lines. This is truly an incredible mix of genetics and this colt will take you far. Zeb has a nice personality and has been handled a lot, stands for the farrier etc. His sire and dam both stand 14.3hh so his mature height will likely be close to that. Zeb is weaned and ready to go!

NATIVE INTELLIGENCE
Baseball strikes out in Bakersfield after 75 years
By Kevin Roderick | August 28, 2016 11:11 PM
Bakersfield Blaze players in 2012. LA Observed photo.
Minor league baseball is giving up on Bakersfield, a city that once was home to Dodgers future Hall of Famers and that has had a team for 75 years. The California League is dropping Bakersfield and the team in Adelanto in the high desert. I wrote at length about the California League in 1989, and covered the debut of professional baseball in the desert when Adelanto got the High Desert Mavericks in 1991, but I enjoyed the vibe and community connection more at games in Bakersfield. Even though Sam Lynn Ballpark, where the Blaze played their final home game on Sunday, is "the weirdest ballpark in America," in part because it was built with the batters facing right into the setting sun.
LA Times baseball columnist Bill Shaikin went up to Bakersfield to help turn out the lights. The scoreboard doesn't always work well, the dugouts are a long ways from home plate, and the crowds are small. But baseball will be missed there by at least some.
"It's different. That's what's cool about it," said Bakersfield infielder Justin Seager, older brother of Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager. "There's a lot of character in this place."
This is minor league baseball at its foundation, a place for players to build careers and fans to build community. The seats are functional, not lavish. But where else can you see a professional baseball game and buy bottled water for $3, Cracker Jack for $2 and, on Mondays, tickets for $1?
[skip]
Dodgers catcher Yasmani Grandal played here five years ago. He became so close with team chaplain John Carter that he flew him to Florida two years later so he could officiate at Grandal's wedding....
It is also sad to say that Bakersfield might not miss its baseball team all that much. The team has ranked last in the Class A California League in attendance in each of the last 10 years and has not averaged even 1,000 fans per game since 2007.
Major league teams want the finest facilities for their minor league players, and Bakersfield became something of a consolation prize for teams that could not find a more modern home elsewhere. The Seattle Mariners, Cincinnati Reds, Texas Rangers, Tampa Bay Devil Rays and San Francisco Giants all sent players here within the past two decades; none of those affiliations lasted more than six years.
Shaikin writes that the Blaze was close to securing a new ballpark a few years ago, but the deal fell through. This year, the California League essentially bought the Bakersfield and Adelanto franchises and sold them to owners who would move the teams to the Carolina League.
Bakersfield has a bigger population than Anaheim, more than enough people to support a Triple A team (the California League is a lower Single A league.) Minor league ice hockey does well there. But for baseball to return, someone would first have to build a new stadium with all the modern amenities.

Q: Getting apex id from Jquery Not working propery I have apex:inputCheckbox written in apex:repeat where onchange of checkbox i am calling checkedDeviations2 method which will check true or false value and push true values to array and false values will be removed from array.
Now here the issue is i am checking 2 check boxes it is working fine,when i am un checking any of the checked box first time it is returning me true,after that if i check and uncheck again it is returning false.It is very strange issue,i am unable to figure out what's wrong here.
Attaching the screenshots for reference & code.
<apex:repeat value="{!selectedDevList}" var="sd" >

{!oppData.Contact__r.Name}

{!sd.Deviation_Id__c}

{!sd.Deviation_Description__c}

{!sd.Priority__c}

{!sd.Nature_Of_Deviation__c}

                            <apex:inputCheckbox id="devCheckbox2" styleclass="slds-input"
                                                disabled="{!IF(sd.Priority__c == deviationLevel,'false','true')}"
                                                onchange="checkedDeviations2('{!sd.Deviation_Id__c}')"/>

</apex:repeat>

//Js part
     var selArray2 = [];
            function checkedDeviations2(devId2){
             var checkedValue =  $('[id$=devCheckbox2]').is(':checked');
                alert(checkedValue);
                if(checkedValue){
                    selArray2.push(devId2);
                }
                else{
                    alert('unchecked');
                    selArray2.splice(selArray2.indexOf(devId2),1);
                }
            }

A: <apex:inputCheckbox id="devCheckbox" styleclass="slds-input"
    disabled="{!IF(sd.Priority__c == deviationLevel,'false','true')}"
     onchange="checkedDeviations(this,'{!sd.Deviation_Id__c}')"/>

//Js
           var selArray = [];
            function checkedDeviations(obj,devId){
             //var checkedValue =  $('[id$=devCheckbox2]').is(':checked');
             alert(obj.checked);//Know whether checkbox has been checked or not.
             var checkId = $('[id$=devCheckbox]');
                if(obj.checked){
                 selArray.push(devId);
                }
                else{
                   selArray.splice(selArray.indexOf(devId),1);
                }

            }

Got the answer. Passed 'this' in onchange attribute where this will pass the current value and get the checked and unchecked result.
The issue in my case was apex:inputCheckbox was in apex:repeat due to which same id was getting iterated and due to which if i check one checkbox it was taking value of other checkbox.

Piers Plowman (written c. 1370–90) or Visio Willelmi de Petro Ploughman (William's Vision of Piers Plowman) is a Middle English allegorical narrative poem by William Langland. It is written in unrhymed, alliterative verse divided into sections called passus (Latin for "step").

His famous Vision Concerning Piers Plowman exhibits a moral earnestness and energy which is brightened by his vivid glimpses of the lives of the poorest classes of 14th century England. Piers Plowman is an allegorical moral and social satire, written as a "vision" of the common medieval type. I perceived of the power that Peter had to keep, To bind and to unbind as the Book telleth, How he left it with love as our Lord ordained, Amongst four virtues the best of all virtues, That cardinal are called for they hinge the gates Where Christ is in glory to close and to shut And to open it to them and.

Piers Plowman, in full The Vision of Piers Plowman, Middle English alliterative poem presumed to have been written by William Langland. Three versions of Piers Plowman are extant: A, the poem's short early form, dating from the 1360s; B, a major revision and extension of A made in the late 1370s; and C, a less literary version of B dating from the 1380s and apparently intended to focus the work's doctrinal issues. Some scholars think that version C may not be entirely attributable to Langland.

Стр. xxii - But it is against their degenerate sons that he arrays his allegorical Host ; the Friars furnish every impersonated vice, are foes to every virtue ; his bitterest satire, his keenest irony (and these weapons he wields with wonderful poetic force) are against their dissoluteness, their idleness, their pride, their rapacity, their arts, their lies, their hypocrisy, their intrusion into the functions of.
Centrizius
This is an indispensable edition of Langland's great poem. I can't imagine what students of medieval literature would do without it.
Dalarin
The ultimate test of your medieval English language skills. This is a very challenging and enjoyable read. There are a lot of reviews decrying this for being "difficult to read." Well, duh. The work is in Middle English!
Vudomuro
Piers Plowman comes down to us in three main versions: the A, B, and C texts. This edition is based on the B-text, which is widely considered to be both more radical in its association with the Lollard heresy, and more aesthetically pleasing when compared with the later C-text. This edition provides a textual apparatus, footnote translations as the editor deemed necessary, and explanatory endnotes.
At the level of "scholarly seriousness," this edition lies somewhere between the heavy-duty Donaldson B-text (Piers Plowman: The B Version - Will's Visions of Piers Plowman, Do-Well, Do-Better and Do-Best: An Edition in the Form of Trinity College Cambridge MS B.15.17, Corrected and Restored from the Known Evidence, with Variant Readings (Revised Edition)) and the several translations that are floating around on Amazon. For the serious student, this edition simply cannot be beat in terms of price. For the casual reader, one of the translations might be preferable; while Langland's Middle English is more fun to read, his dialect will seem a bit alien to most eyes. Furthermore, I question whether or not it is really necessary for a non-scholar to read an original language edition. To my mind, the poetic language of Piers Plowman is not on par with that of Chaucer, Gower, or the Pearl Poet, and I think that Langland sometimes does not understand the dynamics of alliterative verse. While it may not be at the level of "rum, ram, ruf, by lettre," I don't think the casual reader need upbraid herself for not plodding through the Middle English. However, it's all a matter of determining what one wants from the text.
As for further reading, for those who would like a good prose translation, A.V.C. Schmidt's edition does the trick (Piers Plowman: A New Translation of the B-text (Oxford World's Classics)). It's especially helpful for quick review of overall poem structure. I unfortunately cannot recommend a verse-translation, as I have not read any of them, but as I said before, I can only imagine a modern-day translation might be welcome to the modern reader. For the beginning student, one might also check out Simpson's introduction to the B-text, which provides not only historical and philosophical background, but also a comprehensive interpretation (Piers Plowman: An Introduction to the B-Text (Longman Medieval and Renaissance Library)).
Mopimicr
The poem of 'Piers the Ploughman' is often considered to be anonymously composed, as the name William Langland was less an authorial designation as it was an inscription on the back of a manuscript - it would be as if I would be assigned the authorship of the O.E.D. because, in some future time, the only remaining copy was missing the title pages, but still had the hard-cover with my 'ex libris' impression on it. Be that as it may, Langland is considered at least as likely an author as any other, and becomes a sort of stand-in, an 'everyman' for his time period. A few details of this Langland are known - he was a wanderer, a constant reviser (the poem goes through several revisions that scholars have designated as texts A, B, and C (and some argue for Z). This is not a spiritual autobiography, as J.F. Goodridge states in an essay about Langland in another edition, but there are no doubt autobiographical elements in the text. That the lead character is named 'Will' helps in this identification.
This poem stands alongside Chaucer's 'Canterbury Tales' as one of the great products of Middle English; this also has the character of being a different sort of Middle English than Chaucer's more courtly, continental influenced variety. Thus, it gives breadth to the history of the English language. Langland is often ranked as a great English poet on a par with Spenser, Milton, Wordsworth and Yeats, as representative of his age both in topics as well as language facility.
This epic poem deals with themes familiar for the time - like Dante and Milton, Langland deals with the grand ideas of the meaning of life and the destiny of humankind. However, unlike Dante and Milton, Will and Piers the Ploughman do not go through a mystical, otherworldly adventure or journey, but rather stays rooted to the earth. These are dream sequences, but these too need not be otherworldly - they are things that can happen to every person. The ideas of the seven deadly sins, the virtues, the church, and the images of heaven and hell are very much rooted to regular society images of the same. The discussion of the allegorical characters, aptly named Do-Well, Do-Better, and Do-Best, does much for the moral teaching of this poem, which would have been of primary concern to the author.
Langland's text is often more Old English than Chaucerian in ways. It is far more alliterative, a strong component taken from Old English. Also, it is less metrical in rhythm than Chaucer - there is a pause in each line akin to older English poetry, but the metre is less secure.
This is a translation of the B-text, a text that is a revision of Langland's own (most likely). Translator and editor A.V.C. Schmidt provides an introduction and chronology, with lots of detail about the manuscript variations and textual issues. Schmidt gives examples of the original language for the student to compare the modern translation with a snapshot of the original.
This is one of the classics of English literature, perhaps the least known among them.
This is an edition, not a translation. As such, it is a remarkable value if you want to delve into a version of the Middle English text without paying for the next level of edition on up, the Athlone Piers B, edited by George Kane and E. Talbot Donaldson. The editor of this edition, A.V.C. Schmidt has also published a translation, if you want to get an idea of the poem but without tackling Middle English, Latin and fourteenth-century Anglo-Norman French.
Rainshaper
Personally I don't see the point of translating English into English, so if you want to read The Vision of Piers Plowman as it was written (well, one version anyway!), this is the edition to get. However, I do concede that our language has changed to the extent that reading such a text is difficult without aids - of which this book is chock full. You have (a) footnotes and translations of the Latin quotes (b) notes on lexical elements of the text (c) notes notes on the meaning of the text. (a) is presented alongside the text whilst (b) and (c) are at the back, which does mean flicking to and fro as you read, but the rewards are worth it! This is the standard to which all modern print editions of medieval manuscripts should aspire. Outstanding work.

"Lack of Patriotism Leads to Defeat"
I know most people don't care, or even know about, the Davis Cup quarterfinal results this weekend. What? Oh, right, right...the Davis Cup is a tennis tournament where each country plays as a team, selecting two singles players and a doubles team to participate. Each country plays in a bracket, and the winners advance like in a regular tournament.
Now, other countries really get into the Davis Cup. In fact, when I saw the Davis Cup finals in Fort Worth, between the U.S. and Switzerland, the Swiss were making more noise than the U.S! It was sad to watch. The Swiss brought horns, musical instruments, and plenty of banners. By the end of the weekend, a few hundred U.S. spectators had brought flags to wave.
The matches against Switzerland were bearable because Andre Agassi, John MacEnroe, Jim Courier, and Pete Sampras actually *played* and won the Davis Cup for the States.
But this weekend, when the States played the Czech Republic, none of the above players (the best in the world) were there. Todd Martin, Patrick Galbreath, Malivai Washington, and the rest of the team had to step up and fill the missing slots. Where were our top players? Are they too good to play for their own country?
I don't know the specific reasons each of the players decided not to play in the Davis Cup. But come on, guys, you've pulled this disappearing act before. And each time the top players aren't there, we struggle or lose a chance at winning the Davis Cup, something other countries would LOVE to have.
Thanks to the Americans who DID play, and fought very hard against the Czechs. I have a lot more respect for you guys than I do for the top players in the world who somehow didn't think the Davis Cup was important enough to attend.

Direct Primary: National Assembly Should not Limit Political Parties
by Niger Delta Connect Editorial Board
in Editorial, Legislature, Nigerian News, Top Stories
Until now, political parties in Nigeria have always had the freedom to choose the mode of electing their candidates for elective positions in general elections. This however, is about to change as the National Assembly on October 12, added a clause to the Electoral Act Amendment Bill 2021, compelling all political parties to adopt direct primary as the new mode of electing their parties' flag-bearers. That of course, is, if President Muhammadu Buhari assents to the Bill.
Prof Mahmood
The inclusion of that clause into the Electoral Act Amendment Bill by the lawmakers have generated widespread reaction, with some people in support of the position of the National Assembly while others strongly against it.
Just what exactly is the attraction for the direct primary system? The direct primary system is that process whereby every card-carrying member of a political party votes for the candidates of their choice to represent the party in an election while in the case of indirect primary, it is the delegates, as opposed to all party members, that elect who becomes the candidate of the party.
The use of direct primary will go a long way in reducing the "wahala" of delegates list. We have seen cases where as much as three different delegates lists are submitted after conduct of primaries by a political party. With direct primary, every party member is expected to vote so no complaints about delegates list.

Direct primary will ensure citizen participation as all party members are involved just as it will reduce to the barest minimum, the interference of the judiciary as litigations will be reduced.
However, just as direct primary has its merits, it comes with its own bag of challenges. With all party members expected to participate, direct primary will be unwieldy and difficult to manage the hundreds of thousands of people; it will be time-consuming as its conduct may run into days and finally, it is capital intensive.
Like direct primary, indirect primary has its own merits and demerits. Indirect primary, which almost all the political parties adopt, is cost effective, easy to manage and less time-consuming. Its biggest flaw however is the fact that the delegates can be easily "hijacked" and bought over by party money bags who invite the delegates to their hotel rooms at midnight and "settle" them.
Some people argue that the issue of money bags inducing the delegates with money is neither here nor there because a delegate may collect money from a money bag and still vote his conscience.
Proponents of direct primary argue that it is transparent and as such would produce the best candidate. Such people forget however that the mode of election of flag-bearers for elective positions (direct or indirect) is just an aspect of the over-all electoral process. Let us assume, for instance, that a "good" candidate is elected through direct primary but the voting proper is marred by voter apathy, vote buying, rigging, ballot box snatching, tampering of result sheets, thuggery and widespread violence, probably leading to the death of some persons, would the proponents claim that such an election is free and fair, just because direct primary was used?
Basically, there is no big deal about what system is used, direct or indirect. According to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Resident Electoral Commissioner in Akwa Ibom State, Mr Mike Igini, "no method, direct or indirect, is inherently good or bad".
The way forward for credible elections is to employ every available means, including deployment of technology, to clean up the entire gamut of the electoral process and not just insisting on the use of direct primaries.
Little wonder therefore that Mike Igini said "unless members of political parties from top to bottom sincerely submit themselves to the due process they subscribe to, any hope for the success of whatever method they subscribe to will be a futile hope".
Again, if according to Igini, no method, direct or indirect, is inherently good or bad, why the insistence on direct primary when we are being told by key stakeholders that the cost for INEC to monitor the primaries of all the parties will run into billions of Naira? Such monies can be ploughed into other equally important areas.
Another important argument against direct primary is that it is against the tenets of democracy. We are told that democracy is about choice; the freedom of political parties to choose the form of election process that is best for them. Compelling all the parties to adopt direct primaries is taking away from them the fundamental power to freely decide the best form of election process that is best suited for them and this is unacceptable.
Fortunately, all hope in redeeming the situation is not lost as President Muhammadu Buhari has between now and Sunday, December 19 to assent or decline assent to the Electoral Bill. Fortunately again, Buhari is doing the right thing by consulting with stakeholders with a view to articulating their suggestions before deciding deciding to sign or not to sign the bill.
The president should be prevailed upon to return the bill to the National Assembly, requesting it to maintain the status quo of allowing political parties to decide for themselves, what mode of election to employ in getting their flag-bearers, before he assents to the bill. Allowing the prescription of the National Assembly to stand is tantamount to bringing back the days of Military President, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida, when in 1989, he created two highly unpopular political parties, the National Republican Convention and the Social Democratic Party and went on to prescribe manifestos as well as ideological inclinations for the two parties.
The decision of mode of electing flag-bearers is purely a party affair. The National Assembly compelling parties to adopt direct primary is not only a usurpation of the powers of the parties but it also amounts to the National Assembly limiting the political parties, and this should not be allowed.

Getting to the heart of Aboriginal art
Keith Gallasch: Interview Hetti Perkins, writer & presenter, Art+Soul 2
Hector Burton, Hetti Perkins, Art+Soul 2

There are remarkable things to see in Art+Soul 2: the intriguing creations of fascinating artists, venerable exponents of ancient practices and a younger generation of contemporary artists working in video, film, performance and installation, melding with the traditional forms and concepts of their inheritance.
The second of curator and writer Hetti Perkins' much-anticipated Art+Soul series is about to be launched on ABC TV. Perkins travels Australia meeting artists in their homes, studios and beloved country, often with their families and communities. The sense of art as integral to life is woven through the series, profoundly entwining the everyday, the spiritual, the land and collective and personal Indigenous histories. Alongside traditional artists in remote art centres (Yolgnu man Wanyubi Marika; the people of Tjala Arts, SA) and shell artists Lola Greeno and Esme Timbery, Perkins interviews contemporary artists Jonathan Jones, Warwick Thornton, Daniel Boyd, Nicole Foreshew, Vernon Ah Kee, Christian Thompson, Brian Robinson and Julie Gough.
Perkins pulls together threads from across the continent—with its extremes of landscape and climate and sharply contrasting craft and art practices—to reveal lineages of unexpected continuity of influence (sacred tree art in a Jonathan Jones' fluorescent light sculpture; Albert Namatajira in the works of Warwick Thornton and Daniel Boyd; traditional dyeing in the swirling cloth of Nicole Foreshew's performative video creations). All the artists in this series make works that speak for themselves, but in conversation each is also eloquent about their feelings of connectedness with a sustaining ancient culture and the deeply disturbing history of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander history over the last two centuries. Perkins informally and unhurriedly draws them out, in the same way she draws us in, her voice warm, deep, intimate, her manner easy. They in turn are frank, witty and observant.
Hetti Perkins, Vernon Ah Kee, Art+Soul 2
Perkins herself is more than a guide, more than a delineator of art history, she is a story-teller—the art she reveals to us is part of her own story, not as an artist but as curator, an intimate of the artists and, above all, as someone whose own life parallels theirs in shared culture and history. Episodes are framed with reference to the inspiration from her grandmother, her father—the activist Charles Perkins—and his clan country near Alice Springs, land which Perkins says sustains her.
The series is superbly made with Perkins as writer, director Steven McGregor, cinematographer Eric Murray Lui and sound recordist David Tranter. These are Indigenous filmmakers with extensive experience and considerable achievements, documented over the years in RealTime (see Indigenous Film Archive Highlight) and in Dreaming in Motion, Celebrating Indigenous Filmmakers, AFC-RealTime 2007). With a score largely made up of affecting contemporary Indigenous songs, Art+Soul 2 is engrossing viewing, another fine record of Indigenous Australian art from Perkins and an exhortation, firmly if gently stated by the activist-presenter-writer to understand art as Culture.
What did it feel like to make this series, to be nomadic and travel far and wide?
It's a thrilling opportunity to travel around and renew old acquaintances and see friends. One of the pleasures of being a contemporary nomad of sorts is that I really love driving out bush, around places like Uluru, Arnhem Land, Aurukun is just amazing—beautiful. And those long drives are something I find quite therapeutic. But doing it in the company of someone like Mrs Porter—we see her in the series [at Warakurna Artists, WA] giving the children their paints and canvases and a little painting lesson—when you travel with someone like her, of course, the country, even though it's beautiful and enriching, you start to understand why all these places you're passing by, whether it's a tree or a rock-hole or hill, have significance. I think that sense of the country being sentient and alive is very important. While obviously we can't cover every minute of what we do in the series, I hope the sense of that comes through strongly in each episode.
It's a fascinating range of artists—most relatively young artists but also older people with a very strong sense of craft whose creations we might be surprised to see juxtaposed with contemporary practice. But they all make sense. How did you come up with this amazing 'cast'?
One of the things we try to do is to say that contemporary Indigenous art practice has myriad forms of expression. So Lola Greeno's beautiful shell necklaces can be as political as a Daniel Boyd Treasure Island painting [a map of Australia detailing hundreds of original Indigenous language groupings over which the label 'Treasure Island' is imposed by wealth-seeking colonialism]. So I think that's one of the probably not-so-subtle messages we're trying to get across, that in being connected to country and being an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander person, you're inherently political or politicised and this can be expressed in ways that can often be quite subtle or more suggestive than strident.
Hetti Perkins, Warwick Thornton, Art+Soul 2
But with a darker, underlying sense; as Warwick Thornton says, that even to breathe is a political act.
Yes, that's right. I shouldn't even be alive. He makes that point very clearly. And as he says, I'm an Aboriginal artist because if I'd been a plumber, I'd be an Aboriginal plumber. Having a film director now as an artist is also kind of fun.
There's a diversity of voices in each artist. Daniel Boyd can make quite overtly political works and others like his mysterious Dark Matter images. Vernon Ah Kee makes the Tall Man video work but on the other hand those rather scary charcoal drawings, Unwritten [both works triggered by the Palm Island Riot of 2004 and its causes].
They're quite haunting, aren't they?
There's a connection between Boyd's dots against dark space and Vernon Ah Kee's 'faceless' visages [in each case suggesting faces or bodies not seen by white culture].
What strikes me too as you look at the works of those artists and you see the different presence that they have—some quite subtle, others more overtly political—is the softly spoken artists themselves. I think it's wonderful to be able to introduce them to people. There's a lot of compassion and conviction and they're steadfast in what they say, but I think people will be surprised at how almost self-effacing or even humble they are.
They'll let their art speak for them and for their people but they can make strong statements.
Yes, they're quietly persuasive and I think that's something I've always admired about these artists and one of the reasons for doing this series. [It's] not only their work but because they have the courage to make the work, to put it out there.
There's also quite a strong emphasis on families—family photographs and archival material, including your own. You make that connection regularly so that each artist reveals a sense of lineage and place.
Yes, I think one of the reasons for doing that was to be open. It's meant to be intimate, to get to know these people and their country and their homes. I don't think you can do that if you're some sort of narrator up on high. You have to meet the generosity of spirit that the artists are offering. It was felt appropriate for me to have the same sort of approach with myself as I asked of the artists.
You pack a lot into each 60-minute program, but there's still a feeling of reflection and enquiry. You must have spent quite a bit of time making this.
Yes, quite a few weeks on the road and the inevitable post-production. You have to allow for pauses. There's a term in poetry—I forget what it is. Caesura? I've always been struck by that idea. In my experience, a lot of the time, listening is as important as asking. Often if you just wait, when one of the artists stops that pause means something amazing is about to come out of their mouth. But I also think a lot of that was due to Steven McGregor, the way he directs is so inclusive and intuitive. He often will say in the edit, "We just want to give people a chance to breathe; let the art, the landscape, let it breathe." A lot of that [sense] you're identifying in it is very much to do with Steven's editing.
He's a very fine film director. He's made his own films and for other people. Working with him must be a great advantage. Also Eric Murray Lui who's a great cinematographer.
And David Tranter on sound—three super-experienced, super-talented and, I have to say, super-fun people to work with. And that's really great because, like Art+Soul 1, you can just go into a community and you know you don't have to have the cultural planning workshop sort of thing before you go in. Nobody's going to shove a camera in anyone's face without [permission].
When you're talking to the women in the Yarrenyty Arltere art centre in the Larapinta Valley near Alice Springs who make soft sculptures, we see a very good stop-animation segment featuring toy figures in a story that combines traditional lore and good advice. Who made it?
That was a couple of people at the art centre. These wonderful people, the nannas and kids and cousins and dogs all get to play a role in these animations about all the stuff that happens out in the town camps—and pretty much anywhere. One of my favourite moments—we used it at the end of one of the episodes—is the little nanna and pop figures in bed. One rolls over and puts their arm over the other one. It's such a nice touch.
It's interesting that in your selection of artists for Art+Soul 2 you see younger artists like Warwick Thornton, Daniel Boyd, Christian Thompson and Nicole Foreshew who engage with new technologies, video, installation and performance as clearly sustaining tradition, if in different ways. Are you attracted in particular to these artists?
I'm lucky, because I'm old enough so I've been able to work with a lot of these artists in one form or another over the years, which makes it even harder to narrow down who will participate in the series. Often it's a matter of availability and who's around that comes into it. But the artists you mentioned, they're reasonably young and I love the way they're picking up that mantle, whether it's Rover Thomas, Emily Kngwarreye…the pioneers. Daniel Boyd talks about Albert Namatjira. They feel they're very much part of that artistic tradition. They maintain their heritage but [have] their own individual form of contemporary expression…that's really what Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture is about. It's about this endlessly adapting, evolving, changing cultural sphere. That's one of the most exciting things about it.
The series says that art is very important. You say it's a beacon and that it promotes understanding. Warwick Thornton says it's very 'healing.' You say at one point it's about finding a way home. For Aboriginal people seeing this art and this series must be a much more profound experience than for the non-indigenous viewer.
We all have common experiences—home and family, place and a sense of belonging are things we all share. My people are no different. We feel the same way. It's about trying to find touchstones, those things we all identify with, we all crave and need. Indigenous people have been denied those basic human rights. For them and for people like myself who aren't artists, I similarly can take comfort or guidance or inspiration from the work of our artists. That's why I pay so much respect to them, because they do have this incredible responsibility that they happily take on their shoulders. They choose to make these works that are inspirational. It's very important work and it's no easy task.

More than 100,000 rainbow trout are expected to be released this spring in 64 Ohio public lakes and ponds, creating excellent fishing opportunities for anglers all across Ohio, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. The first rainbow trout release is scheduled for Friday, March 3, at Adams Lake in Adams County.
Rainbow trout releases will take place across Ohio from March 3-May 21 as long as areas are ice-free and accessible to anglers. Information about the trout releases, including updates to the schedule due to weather and stocking locations, is available at wildohio.gov or by calling 800-945-3543.
Anglers age 16 and older must have an Ohio fishing license to fish in state public waters. The 2017-2018 fishing license is now available and is valid through Wednesday, Feb. 28, 2018. An annual resident fishing license costs $19. A one-day fishing license costs $11 for residents and nonresidents. The one-day license may also be redeemed for credit toward the purchase of an annual fishing license.
Sales of fishing licenses along with the federal Sport Fish Restoration program continue to fund the operation of the ODNR Division of Wildlife's fish hatcheries. No state tax dollars are used for this activity. This is a user-pay, user-benefit program.
The SFR program is a partnership between federal and state government, industry, anglers and boaters. When anglers purchase rods, reels, fishing tackle, fish finders and motor boat fuel, they pay an excise tax. The federal government collects these taxes, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service administers and disburses these funds to state fish and wildlife agencies. These funds are used to acquire habitat, produce and stock fish, conduct research and surveys, provide aquatic education to youth and secure and develop boat accesses.

Sponsored by the ODNR, Cleveland Museum of Natural History, The Nature Conservancy and The Ohio State University, the event will be held at Villa Milano, located at 1630 Schrock Road in Columbus.
The symposium will feature two keynote speakers: Dr. Paul Catling with Agriculture and Agri-food of Canada and Dr. James Lendemer with the New York Botanical Garden. Catling will talk about alvars of the Great Lakes region. Created by glaciers thousands of years ago, these fascinating habitats are now home to many rare and fascinating plants and animals. Lendemer will discuss the biology, importance and diversity of lichens both in Ohio and in North America.
The event will also feature a multi-media show with scenic-related images and displays from a number of private and public conservation organizations and vendors offering conservation-related items for purchase.
The $45 attendance fee includes conference materials, continental breakfast, buffet lunch and break refreshments. Registrations will be accepted until Tuesday, March 21, or until the conference is full.

Traditional Media's Fine Whine about Blogging!
Daz has a great post on the media's response to blogging. In it, he refers to an article by New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd, titled "Bloggers, they're just trying to put the "me" in media".
Taking an extrospective approach though, I can see how the threat blogging poses to traditional media and journalists, and the lack of job security she must be feeling in the current media climate, is enough to exculpate her actions. I mean, for a long time, journalists and the media had carte blanche over what we recognised as fact. Subtracting the impact that books and teaching have on our core learned knowledge, a large majority came from magazines, television, newspapers, and the like. And then came the web, and new channels of information.
But we still relied on journalists and the media to present us with what we assumed in good faith, were the facts. But then the biggest blow arrived by the way of bloggers, suddenly I could publish to a well respected and easily accessible medium my perspective and opinion on a topic close to home, and someone on the other side of the world could access and digest it. What's more, they could engage with me, and add comment or feedback, thus taking the concept of "published as is" to a new level. It was now a conversation.
Meanwhile, we started to see contradictions in the traditional media channels, for example, articles like these, that made those who knew a little something about the subject matter react along the lines of, "Hey, that's just downright wrong!". Whoa, now the media were in a new area of threat, not only were people making their own news, they were calling out the gaping inaccuracies of the traditional news channels. If I read something I didn't quite agree with in he paper, my only recourse was a letter to the editor. Now, I could post on my own channel my own opinion, and the readership might be influenced to consider another opinion, not just the journalists.
So then you get to the stage, where as in Daz's post, you have a New York Times columnist having a sook about the fact that a new era of "publishers" and "journalists" are making their way into the media fray. And like most things, only a credible threat will elicit such an acerbic reaction. If Maureen wants the world to think of bloggers as a passing phase, or sub-par news channel, the last thing she should have done was bemoan their pervasiveness. If I've learnt anything in my time on earth, it is that, when the game changes, don't run home crying to mummy, work out the new rules, identify the top dogs, and get amongst it. Like they say, "if you can't beat them, bite them!".
So my recommendation to Maureen, and all those like her; stop whining, create a blog, start contributing some compelling, opinionated new ideas to the rest of the world, and invite them to get involved in the conversation, and you will find the resolution to that which you lament!
Failing that, follow this how-to guide to a tee!


Establish a budget before starting. The budget is an important aspect in wedding celebrations that will probably influence the planning of your wedding. Before making any wedding purchase, first check your budget to find out how much you can afford. It is also useful after the budget has been made, as it can help show if the budget objectives are being met. A well-planned budget allows you to stay away from spending on things that really do not matter to you. However, it is essential that you feel that your new budget represents you better.
A budget will look forward. There are several types of budgets for weddings just because there are many forms of couples. Although the budget of a wedding does not sound glamorous, it does not have to be something poor in any way. As most men and women want to use one of the many wedding budgets that exist, it is worth the opportunity to consider getting a budget planner for weddings.
The template involves many unique views, but it is simple to create your own. A person should prepare a template to help keep the data in a clear and easy to understand format. Several of the budget templates can be found in more than 1 type. They can also be useful when you try to lose or maintain your current weight. Providentially, the templates in our next section will help alleviate the financial stress associated with such an important purchase.
Discover how to calculate your break-even point and how information can help your planning. Organizing a wedding in Nigeria is no small thing, although it is a big or small celebration. Developing a communication program will manage the ambiguity, which means that you must ensure that it is as detailed as possible.
You may realize that you must wait and keep the money, you may realize that you can move forward or you can choose to borrow to cover it. Nothing will be perfect when it comes to tracking your money. Although it is a fantastic way to save money, sometimes it can be frustrating to get roommates to take the dough promptly and at the agreed volume. Within a particular level, clearly, money is not an object. You will not have to deposit money on additional servers and your visitors will have the opportunity to mingle with each other when they get up to receive their food. Obviously, you only have to apply money to the components you want to have at your wedding.
Expenses are a big part of the wedding reception facility, and that means you'll also need to be aware of how much labor, maintenance, utilities and property taxes cost. Then, detail your finances and the way you want to finance everyday expenses. You must make sure that you can cover your housing expenses, public services, food, insurance bill at the time you arrive, car maintenance, etc. After the income is higher than the expenses, it is believed that the company made profits during this period of time. If you get a good income but feel that you are just stepping on water, you will need a budget. Determine if you can expect income from other sources, such as friends and family.

Military Reports
UK MoD for February 6, 2015 – February 7, 2015
Original Report
On the morning of Friday 6 February, an RAF Tornado GR4 patrol worked closely with a coalition surveillance platform to provide overwatch for Kurdish peshmerga, who were engaged in close combat with ISIL – also known as Da'ish – terrorists near Mosul. When an ISIL mortar position opened fire on the pehsmerga, the GR4s were able to respond with a Brimstone missile which scored a direct hit.
Early on Saturday morning [February 7th], another Tornado pair patrolled western Iraq, near Al Qa'im, close to the Syrian border. Two heavily armed ISIL trucks were identified and attacked with Brimstone missiles. The GR4s also located an ISIL armoured personnel carrier and conducted a further Brimstone attack; initial analysis indicates that all three vehicles were destroyed.
