What is the Rapid Prompting Method?
Alex holds regular sessions at the Sutton Coldfield United Reformed Church (Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham) in days during the week and in the school holidays. Where possible, Alex will try to accommodate preferable dates and times.
1hr sessions are suitable for families who would like their child to have 1:1 support with Alex and also receive support themselves.
This option is suitable for families who have further to travel. During this time Alex works with the student and with parents to develop their skill level. It is necessary to have at least two adults bringing the student so the student is able to have breaks during this time (while Alex works with the other adult).
All sessions are recorded and made available for the families to use as a learning tool.
In Sutton Coldfield the costs are £65 per 55min session.
During school holidays Alex runs 'camps'; this is where the student receives two 25-55minute sessions a day for 2-4 days. This option is ideal for students and families who are new to RPM and also those at different stages. For newer students, Alex will be able to demonstrate effective practise in teaching in accordance to the student's open learning channels and how to develop motor skills. For families who are already practising RPM, a camp will give the student the opportunity to develop their skill level while helping parents to increase their own skill level.

Obituary of Robert Booth
Robert Steven Booth, age 78, of Mayville, met his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ on Thursday, December 23, 2021. He peacefully passed into Glory surrounded by his family at Fisher Senior Care & Rehab Center. A Funeral Service will be held at 1:00 pm, Tuesday, January 4, 2022, at Juniata Baptist Church. Pastor Del Terpenning to officiate, with burial to follow at Dayton Center Cemetery. Robert's family will be present to receive friends from 11:00 am until the time of service at 1:00 pm. Memorial contributions may be directed to the Juniata Baptist Church or Juniata Christian School. Envelopes are available at the church. Expressions of sympathy may be placed on Robert's "Bob's" tribute page at martinfuneralhome.com.
Robert was born in Battle Creek on August 10, 1943, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Cecil and Eula (Ingram) Booth. On May 2, 1962, Robert enlisted in the United States Navy and served on the U.S. Jonas Ingram which gave him the opportunity to travel all over the world. On June 10, 1965, Robert married the love of his life, Audrey Gustafson. Their union would be blessed with four beautiful children. Sadly, she preceded him in death on September 7, 2018. Robert was a self-employed painter and he painted both commercially and residentially. In 1997, he had a massive stroke and had to retire. Before his retirement, he and his wife Audrey worked side by side staining and finishing door trims for Dashano Construction Company.
Robert was a member of Juniata Baptist Church, and he faithfully attended all services as long he was physically able to be at church. He loved his ministry assisting with check-in for Master Clubs on Wednesday evenings. Following his retirement and stroke, Robert would join Pastor Flanders on his weekly visitations. The investment that Pastor made in Robert's life added many years to Robert's life as he was given purpose. Robert loved the Bible and frequently quoted Scripture to his children. He gained peace and strength through his devotions. He enjoyed passing out tracts from the church, and never met a stranger. He was saved at the age of 30 at a tent meeting in Bay City and was baptized at Liberty Baptist Church in Virginia.
Robert enjoyed hunting in Caro as well as yearly smelt dipping with his children. Robert could often be found making pancakes and his famous chocolate fudge. Robert had a "gypsy" spirit and before finally settling in Mayville, Michigan had moved the family around throughout Michigan and Virginia. He was always up for an adventure. Robert and Audrey especially enjoyed going on vacation to Florida spending time at the beach. Robert would also go on truck runs with his son traveling around Michigan and surrounding states. After Audrey passed away, Robert carried on her tradition of saying "Love You More" to his children and grandkids, and great-grandkids. He enjoyed playing the game of UNO with his family. Robert made sure that no one left his house without some kind of food or candy. He would also hand out candy at Wingert's in Mayville. Robert was dearly loved and will be greatly missed.
Left to cherish Robert's memory are his children: Robert Booth, Joy and husband, Malcolm Edwards, John Booth and partner Shannon Green, Benjamin Booth and fiancée, Pam Bates; grandchildren: Amanda and husband, Tommy Fisher, Cody Booth, Ashley and husband, Kyle Perkins, Jessica and husband, Alex Ryberg, Brooke and husband, J.T. Nipp, Malcolm Edwards, Jr., Stephanie Booth, Joshua Booth, Emily and husband, Corey Hess, Austin Booth; great-grandchildren: Domonic, Karter, Kayleigh, Caidence, Savannah, Skylar, Madison, Maverik, Jaylynn, Kenna, Ryan; sister, Rea Bardy; several, nieces, nephews, relatives, and friends.
Just before his birth, Robert was preceded in death by his almost two-year-old sister, Joy Esta Booth who tragically drowned in Gull Lake. He is preceded in death by his wife, Audrey; parents; brothers: Val Booth, Ray, and Dan Thompson.

Exhibition Highlights
Palm Beach Cavallino Classic, January 2014
Completed at the Ferrari factory in February 1974, this late-production Tipo E Dino is a very special example that possesses a comprehensively documented history, a desirable combination of optional features, and a superb presentation throughout.
Originally finished in Nocciola Metallizzato (106-M-27) with black Connolly leather upholstery, this 246 GTS was destined for the US market and suitably equipped with Cromadora wheels, instrumentation in miles, air-conditioning, and electric windows. According to Matthias Bartz's definitive Dino Compendium, just 72 Dinos were painted in Nocciola Metallizzato, a striking optional color available for Ferraris throughout the late 1960s and early 1970s.
Upon completion, 07798 was delivered to Ferrari's official North American distributor Luigi Chinetti Motors in Greenwich, Connecticut, which sold the Dino to the Baker Motor Company of Atlanta, Georgia, in August 1974. On August 9, 1974, the 246 GTS was sold for the then-princely sum of $17,850 to its first private owner, Lee H. Williams of Orlando, Florida.
Mr. Williams took excellent care of his new Ferrari, driving it sparingly until 1983, at which time it was retired to the security of his home garage. Over the next decade, the Dino was carefully stored, kept on jack stands, and regularly detailed, thereby preserving it in outstanding condition. When Mr. Williams finally decided to put his beloved car on the market in 1997, it was described as an 11,450-mile " 'one-owner' car with unquestionable lineage, capable of winning a 'preservation award' at any Ferrari Owners Club event."
Since its sale in 1998 to Michael Bruno Jr. of Rye, New York, 07798 has continued to reside in the care of knowledgeable East Coast collectors. Today, this attractive 246 GTS presents very well and shows approximately 20,200 miles on the odometer, a figure that is documented by numerous records and consistent with the car's minimal use.
Offered with the sale of 07798 are its proper tool roll, jack kit, and the leather handbook folio containing the original owner's manual, parts catalogue, warranty card, service book, and the consumer information pamphlet. Included in the car's impressive documentation file are copies of the original invoice and sale contract between Baker Motor Company and Lee Williams, service invoices, and a history report compiled by Ferrari historian Marcel Massini.
Boasting an exceptional provenance, a superb original color scheme, low mileage, and a desirable combination of options and accessories, this late-production Tipo E 246 GTS is a particularly impressive Dino. For the collector in search of a visually distinctive and well-kept example of the iconic 246 GTS, a closer look at this fascinating car is well advised.

There was a time when if you lost a tooth, or teeth due to decay, gum disease or trauma to the mouth, you didn't have many options.
Dentures and bridges (synthetic teeth joined together by metal) were the patient's only choice for many years. These brought their own problems-slipping dentures; uncomfortable bridges; ill-fitting and prone to shifting around.
These days, massive improvements in dental technology mean we have an alternative solution to missing teeth-the Dental Implant.
A Dental Implant is essentially a replacement tooth root. It's a titanium post that is screwed firmly into the gum, providing a strong foundation for fixed teeth that are custom -made to replace your own missing natural ones.
You need to have a consultation with the dental surgeon to make sure you're a good candidate for an implant, as healthy bones and gums are important in order to hold the implant properly.
People who have very low or very thin bone mass in their jaw (often due to aging), or some who suffer from uncontrolled chronic disorders like diabetes or heart disease, may not be candidates.
There are the obvious cosmetic reasons, if the gap in your smile bothers you-but more importantly the teeth of a human being need to come together properly to eat and chew food.
The teeth grow in specific shapes and locations to bite, incise, rip and chew; and the jaws come together nicely without any pressure damage.
When you're missing teeth, it impacts not only your smile, but your jaw comfort, eating ability, and sometimes even your speech.
So I'll get a New Tooth Overnight?
No. The titanium implant post is inserted in a precise procedure, into the bone socket of your missing tooth.
After that you need to wait a few months- anything from 3-6 months depending on the patient-for the implant to integrate into the bone of the jaw-the bone actually grows around the implant- to make a secure, stable foundation for your new tooth or teeth.
The dentist takes an impression of your teeth to make up a model of your 'bite', which shows all the types of teeth and the arrangement in your mouth, and the new replacement tooth-the 'crown'-is made based on this model to match the size, colour and shape of your natural teeth. They look perfect; identical to your own.
If you're missing several teeth next to each other, you can get individual implants for each one, or if you're missing 3 teeth in a row the dental surgeon can give you two implants and adhere the middle tooth to the ones on either side, so you get two implants; but three teeth. Like clever Lego.
Once the implant has bonded to the jawbone, a small connector post — called an abutment — is attached to the post to securely hold the new tooth in place.
Barring unusual circumstances, they should last a lifetime-SmileStore-the Dental Specialists offer a lifetime guarantee on all of their implants.
You need to commit to a routine of good dental hygiene afterwards-there's no point in going to all the trouble of getting yourself dental implants unless you take care of them!
Brush, floss and get regular cleaning and check-ups, and your teeth will serve you well for many years to come.

The Action Town project aimed to develop concrete actions by creating partnerships between civil society organisations (CSO) and research organisations. It analysed how CSOs can provide new insights for research in sustainable consumption and production.
Some relative decoupling of economic growth from materials and energy consumption has been achieved in many EU countries during the past decade. However, this did not lead to an absolute decrease in environmental pressures, because absolute resource use has been generally remained steady over the past two decades. Moreover, due to the 'rebound effect', it is unlikely that resource use can be reduced by technological improvements alone. This leads us to the conclusion that sustainability of current lifestyles and consumption patterns may have to be critically reviewed.
In order to reach the goal of shifting towards less environmentally damaging consumption patterns without reductions in the "quality of life", contributions from and agreement among a variety of economic and societal actors are required. Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) have the unique position to bring a variety of actors together and convince them to take action for more transformational type of change beyond resource productivity measures. They can encourage concrete set of goals to drive away from currently unsustainable patterns of consumption. How to enhance the effectiveness of such CSO activities is the core question.
This project looked into how CSOs can provide new insights for research in sustainable consumption and production with the goal of reaching absolute decoupling of economic growth from resource use.
Creating partnerships between CSOs and research organisations to increase involvement of CSOs in research.
Three CSOs from Latvia, Spain, Turky and Ukraine were selected as national focal points for accumulating and disseminating knowledge on sustainable consumption and production. Sylvia Lorek from SERI Germany was involved in the project on behalf of ANPED, which coordinated the CSO collaboration.

Description: General Communications Receiver. 540Khz to 54.5Mhz in 5 bands.
You can write your own review of the Hallicrafters S-53A.
Quality compact SWL (but very poor Communication) Receiver.
The S-53A was my only Receiver as a Novice and beginning General back in 1959 and also served for SWLing for several years before and after that.
I rate the S-53A a 5+ as a high-end but entry-level SWL Receive--being very compact with built-in quality speaker, attractive silver/grey metal enclosure with hinged lid, quality chromed toggle switches, and an all-round professional build quality. Performance-wise it has a transformer type power supply with two 455 KC IF (with no RF) Amplifier(s) and very adequate almost 2 Watts of Low Distortion Audio Output. Sensitivity is more than adequate (with a good outdoor antenna)--but with no RF Amplifier, Image Rejection is especially bad above 80 Meters. For SWLing the Image Problem is not generally as bad as for ham radio communications use.
As a Communications Receiver it rates only a 2 or 3 at best. The handy built-in speaker is fine on AM--but causes additional drift (due to vibration) on CW and SSB (where excessive drift is a problem already). The BFO has marginal injection level with NO variable pitch/frequency control. Selectivity is as broad as a barn door with no narrow filtering of any kind. Therefore, SSB reception is abysmal. The S-53A covers 6 Meters, but Excessive Drift and Image Problems (when there is band activity) render operation virtually useless.
Please see my review of the Hallicrafters SX-99 (Listed under Vintage Amateur Receivers) for more detail regarding a comparison of the (minimally acceptable for Communications purposes) SX-99 and the totally inadequate for same S-53A.
The S53A is a good little rig. It has very pleasant audio that still surprises me.
The thing I really like is being able to lift up the hinged top to change tubes or do an alignment.
I bought a used S53A many years ago and it was my first "real" SWL and ham receiver. For some reason I sold that one with a bunch of other equipment many years ago. Recently I found another one in decent condition and I am now once again enjoying the S53A.
I highly recommend this receiver to anyone that wants a vintage tube AM/SWL receiver. The S53A is a joy and a lot of fun to operate.
Received one for a Christmas gift in 1957 from my uncle. Heard two locals on 75M AM.
After a visit to his house he had me find an old B&W TV, which became my 6V6/807 XTAL controlled XMTR.
Anyway it was a very nice RCVR for the time.
I ordered one of these receivers in 1955 from Sears. When I got my novice ticket, this rx and a Globe Chief comprised my first ham station.
I did a lot of swling in those years as well. The old Hallicrafters gave me a lot of pleasure until I traded up to a Hammarlund HQ-110C.
Couple of years ago, I found one in great shape on ebay and bought it. It brings back memories of my early ham years and does a decent job as a general coverage receiver for AM broadcasts.
I have heard many talk of the S-53A in a negative way. I have owned my S-53A since 1977. All these years it has been a pleasing radio to listen to. I have used it over the decades for what it was intended, listening in AM mode on the Shortwave broadcast bands and AM band. The reviews always seem to malign the radio for its lack of active BFO so it will not receive an SSB signal. However it has good sensitivity and it has great fidelity. It has 6 meter capability, but I have never used it. I argue it is a great radio for just general listening pleasure. The S-53 series are also reasonably priced on the used market, a plus for the budget conscious radio enthusiast who wants a nice looking, good sounding general coverage tube receiver for not a lot of money.
Radio is a gem from circa 1951 - 1959. Good stability for it's time and great sound. Has the standard compliment of tubes -- 6BA6 x3 (MIXER, 1st & 2nd IF AMPS); 6H6 DETECTOR; 6C4 OSCILLATOR; 6K6GT AF OUTPUT; 6CS7 AF AMP and BFO; and 5Y3GT RECTIFIER. Another great company that has fallen prey to progress. It brings back lots of good memories from childhood... late night DX'ing. Is very sensative and selective, especially in the AM Broadcast Band. It's a great receiver on 80 meters as well. Stick a G5RV on this puppy and it comes ALIVE!!!!

Difference Between LPG and Wood as Fuel
June 1, 2021 July 27, 2021 / PHYSICS / 4 minutes of reading
What You'll Learn?
1 What is LPG?
2 What is Wood fuel?
3 Difference Between LPG and Wood as Fuel
5 More Related Readings
Spread the Differences
LPG and wood are two different substances and those are used as fuel and the Difference between LPG and Wood as Fuel are detailed in this article with examples.
What is LPG?
LPG also said as Liquefied petroleum gas is used as another fuel for vehicles. It also assesses liquefied petroleum gas as another fuel in terms of emission production.LPG is obtained while gas and oil extraction, or as a by-product of manufacturing during the refining of petroleum.
LPG major components are propane and butane.
Propane – C3H8 may well be a saturated hydrocarbon having an energy value of 46 MJ.kg-1 and a calorific value of 11,070 kJ.kg-1.
Butane – C4H10 is an extremely inflammable and easy liquefiable gas having an energy value of 45 MJ.kg-1 and a calorific value of 10,920 kJ.kg-1.
LPG may be a mix of propane, butane and also other substances but a tiny low amount. Propane and butane combination is liquefied by cooling to a coffee temperature. When being liquefied, the mixture volume is reduced 260 times compared with the gaseous phase. LPG is also a fuel substance almost like petrol. Its energy value is about 45 MJ.kg1 and it is a density of 0.55kg .l -1.
LPG is lighter than water and as liquid heavier than air in its gaseous form.
When bearing in mind its effects on human health, LPG might be nontoxic, although, it's unbreathable with slightly contain toxic effects. the combination of propane and butane is colourless and odourless. so on smell the LPG leakage, few added components are needed. As LPG is utilized as a fuel, its value of octane is incredibly important.
Generally, the gas stored during a liquid form is stressed within the steel container, like a cylinder or a tank. The pressure will depend upon the kind of LPG and also the skin temperature.
What is Wood fuel?
Wood fuel is also cited as fuelwood. this sort used depends upon factors like source, quantity, quality and application. As we all know that in many areas, wood is one all told the foremost easily available sort of fuel, and for this, no tools are required. Wood fuel is also a fuel like firewood, charcoal, chips, sheets, pellets, and sawdust
In the case of studying dead wood, or few tools, although as in any industry, specialized tools, like skidders and hydraulic wood splitters, are developed to mechanize production. Sawmill waste and construction industry by-products also include various styles of lumber tailings.
The discovery of the way to create fire for the aim of burning wood is taken into account as one of all humanity's most important advances. the use of wood as a fuel source for heating is way older than civilization and is assumed to possess been utilized by Neanderthals. Today, the burning of wood is that the most important use of energy derived from solid fuel biomass. Wood fuel is often used for cooking and heating, and sometimes for fuelling steam engines and steam turbines that generate electricity. Wood could even be used indoors in an exceedingly very furnace, stove, or fireplace, or outdoors in furnace, campfire, or bonfire.
Wood fuels are a widely available energy resource and, when utilized sustainably, can have a big role within the worldwide transition to renewable energy both within the developing and within the developed countries.
Wood is also used as fuel directly in its original form or after processing or transformation into charcoal, pellets, briquettes or chips, or into various products in liquid or gaseous forms.
LPG is a gaseous fuel Wood is a solid fuel
It does not cause any environmental pollution It causes environmental pollution by releasing unburnt particles into the air
LPG doesn't cause health problems Wood fuel causes choking and dizziness
LPG is a smoke-free fuel It releases a lot of smoke
Calorific value
LPG is more calorific value about 55,000kg WOOD has a less calorific value having about 22,000kg
LPG has a low ignition Wood has a high ignition
It can be easily stored It requires a lot of storage space
Hence, We Conclude that the Difference between LPG and Wood as Fuel As compared to wood, LPG provides more heat per kilogram. A gram of wood contains about 17 to 22 KJ/kg fewer calories than a gram of LPG Since it requires large vehicles, it can't be transported easily like LPG fuel. Inflammation temperatures are low for LPG.

Shadow Of The Tomb Raider Adds Yet Another DLC, The Grand Caiman
By Shawn Farner/Updated: Jan. 31, 2023 12:43 pm EST
Shadow of the Tomb Raider has been steadily chugging along, adding new content on a monthly basis since last November. Now the game has a new challenge for its players: The Grand Caiman, releasing today on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
In a press release, Square Enix described what players will be facing in The Grand Caiman.
"In Shadow of the Tomb Raider's new DLC, a ferocious deity threatens the lives of innocent San Juan villagers. To save them, Lara will battle a deadly group of mercenaries in order to prevent a cataclysmic disaster. Solve the new volcanic challenge tomb and reap its powerful rewards."
Along with new story content and a new challenge tomb to conquer, Shadow of the Tomb Raider fans will also have the opportunity to pick up a new Reptile Hide outfit, built to decrease damage from projectiles; a suppressed shotgun called the Whispering Scourge; and a new skill called Volcano that assists in the crafting of incendiary shotgun ammo.
By our count, Shadow of the Tomb Raider has one more DLC to go following The Grand Caiman. And it appears the game is back on track with its initial roadmap. The Shadow season pass initially kicked off a month late, starting in November of last year instead of October as originally planned. But The Grand Caiman is actually the second DLC release for March, as The Serpent's Heart dropped on March 5.
Chances are, we'll see Shadow of the Tomb Raider's not-yet-named final DLC sometime next month.
And what a ride it's been, by the way. We'll die on the "Shadow of the Tomb Raider is terribly underrated" hill, no problem, but the season pass actually deserves a lot of credit, too. When all is said and done, Square Enix will have delivered seven DLC packs following the game's release, each with more story content to consume and more challenge tombs to solve. It might not have helped Shadow in the sales department, but one could argue that the game's season pass has been one of the best any single-player title has ever seen.
Good enough to rope more players in and, hopefully, keep the Tomb Raider franchise alive? We don't know. But we hope so.
The Grand Caiman is available today for Shadow of the Tomb Raider season pass holders. It can also be purchased individually for $4.99.

For Supersized Cities, the More Trees the Better
By Weekly Sauce | January 19, 2018
Increasing the number of trees in extremely large cities can lead to significant health and financial benefits, a new study claims.
The researchers focused on 10 so-called mega-cities — those with at least 10 million people — on five continents. They included New York City, London and Mexico City. Nearly 10 percent of the world's population live in mega-cities.
Trees cover an average of 20 percent of the area in the 10 mega-cities in the study and provide about $500 million a year in benefits such as saving energy and reducing pollution, according to the researchers.
Using computer models, the investigators concluded that having 20 percent more trees in these cities would double the benefits they provide. Their findings were published online Jan. 18 in the journal Ecological Modelling.
"By cultivating the trees within the city, residents and visitors get direct benefits," lead author Theodore Endreny said in a journal news release.
City residents are "getting an immediate cleansing of the air that's around them," Endreny said. "They're getting that direct cooling from the tree, and even food and other products.
"There's potential to increase the coverage of urban forests in our mega-cities, and that would make them more sustainable, better places to live," he said.
Endreny is a professor in the environmental resources engineering department at the State University of New York's College of Environmental Science and Forestry, in Syracuse.
He urged everyone to "take action to increase the urban forest areas in our cities, not just city planners."
Various agencies and environmental groups have created an online tool called i-Tree to help people do just that.
"You can visit the free resource to find out how much coverage there is in your city now, find out where you could plant more trees in your area and see how the benefits of the urban forest increase as more trees are planted," Endreny said.
The i-Tree free resource offers an assortment of tools for assessing and managing forests and community trees.

Q: LOC search string with AND condition in Python I'm trying to use LOC with an AND condition. It works fine with OR conditions, but I can't get it to work with ANDs when there are duplicate values in a column.
def locreplace(df,col,needle,replace,needle2=''):
   if (needle2==''):
      df.loc[df[col].str.contains(needle, case=False)==True,col] = replace
   else:
     df.loc[[df[col].str.contains(needle, case=False)==True] and df[col].str.contains(needle2, case=False)==True,col] = replace

This table with no duplicates works as expected:
#Create a data frame
data = [['granny apple', 'juicy'], ['blood orange', 'refreshing'], ['spanish lemon', 'tangy']]
fruitdf = pd.DataFrame(data, columns = ['fruit', 'taste'])

#Single replace - works
#locreplace(fruitdf,'fruit','apple','big red nice apple')

#Will fail - works
#locreplace(fruitdf,'fruit','apple','big red apple','uncle')

#Double replace - works
locreplace(fruitdf,'fruit','apple','big huge red apple','granny')

But when you create a data frame with two "granny" entries the double replace AND condition replaces both instances of "granny" even though "apple" in the AND condition isn't being matched.
data = [['granny apple', 'juicy'], ['granny blood orange', 'refreshing'], ['spanish lemon', 'tangy']]
fruitdf = pd.DataFrame(data, columns = ['fruit', 'taste'])

#Single replace - works
#locreplace(fruitdf,'fruit','apple','big red nice apple')

#Will fail - works
#locreplace(fruitdf,'fruit','apple','big red apple','uncle')

#Double replace - fails
locreplace(fruitdf,'fruit','apple','big huge red apple','granny')

No doubt my fault, and a misplacing of brackets (or misunderstanding of code), but what is the correct way to achieve an AND condition replace with loc (or other easier method)?
Current output:
    fruit   taste
0   big huge red apple  juicy
1   big huge red apple  refreshing
2   spanish lemon   tangy

Desired output:
    fruit   taste
0   big huge red apple  juicy
1   granny blood orange refreshing
2   spanish lemon   tangy

A: The issue is in the else block in locreplace

Adobe, in partnership with the Dutch Type Library, is pleased to announce that Dr. Donald E. Knuth has been named the recipient of the Dr. Peter Karow Award for Font Technology & Digital Typography.
This prestigious award was established in 2003 by the Dutch Type Library (DTL) as a means to celebrate visionaries who have made exceptional innovations in the development of digital type and typography-related technology.
The inaugural award was presented to its namesake, Dr. Peter Karow, at the third DTL FontMaster Conference held near Den Bosch, The Netherlands, in 2003. Dr. Karow, one of the founders of URW Software & Type GmbH, invented Ikarus, the spline-based type design and production software developed to convert typefaces and logos from photographic film into scalable digital fonts and symbols.
The second Dr. Peter Karow Award was presented to Thomas Milo at the Type[&]Design 2009 Conference in The Hague, the seat of the Dutch government. Thomas Milo and his DecoType team were honored for the Advanced Composition Engine (ACE), a revolutionary typographic technology designed to solve the formidable Arabic script shaping, kerning, and line layout challenges (ACE sits at the heart of the WinSoft Tasmeem plugin for Adobe InDesign Middle Eastern). The ACE font layout engine pioneered the "smartness" needed to support scripts that require a more thorough technology than their Latin counterparts. The Dutch government was represented at the award ceremony.
The third Dr. Peter Karow Award has been unanimously awarded to Dr. Knuth by this year's jury: Dr. Karow, Thomas Milo (DecoType), David Lemon (Adobe), Peter Rosenfeld and Dr. Jürgen Willrodt (both URW++), and chairman Frank E. Blokland (DTL).
Born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in 1938, Dr. Knuth is a renowned computer scientist, mathematician, author, and Professor Emeritus at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California. He is being honored with the Dr. Peter Karow Award for his varied and significant contributions to digital typography and font technology.
Dr. Knuth developed TeX, a powerful typesetting system released in 1978, and Metafont, a computer language for creating letterforms by mathematical means. Through his work on Metafont, the Computer Modern and Euler types, and other projects, Dr. Knuth collaborated with a number of type designers, including Professor Hermann Zapf.
Professor Zapf, a master calligrapher and book designer, felt a kinship with Dr. Knuth, as the two shared a deep interest in perfecting computerized book typesetting. Professor Zapf appreciated Dr. Knuth's intention to electronically emulate the strokes of a broad-nib pen and the pressure the human hand puts on the nib when forming calligraphic shapes. Professor Zapf also collaborated on Dr. Knuth's Bible project "3:16," an endeavor to identify and reinterpret all Bible verses starting with 3:16. The project resulted in a book and series of exhibitions featuring the selected verses illuminated in calligraphy by artists from around the world.
Dr. Knuth also collaborated with Professor Charles Bigelow to create a Masters course in digital type at Stanford. Three Adobe Type alumni—Carol Twombly, Daniel Mills, and Cleo Huggins—are graduates of this highly regarded program.
Through his revolutionary developments, his belief in literate programming and programming as art, Dr. Knuth has helped take away much of the tedium inherent in modern type design, typography, and communications as a whole. His efforts have given typographic artists and content creators more tools, more paths to explore, and more freedom to focus on creativity and the perfection of their own important works.
Dr. Karow, David Lemon, and Frank E. Blokland will present the award to Dr. Knuth in a ceremony to be held at ATypI Amsterdam next month. The award includes a charter and the gift of a facsimile of the Delftse bijbel from 1477. Attendees of the awards presentation, to be held during the conference's Special Event Dinner, will receive Digital Typography and Artificial Intelligence, a keepsake booklet by Dr. Karow.
We hope those of you attending ATypI this year will take time to congratulate Dr. Knuth in person— we're delighted that he's making the long journey from Palo Alto to Amsterdam to accept the award. While at the conference, Dr. Knuth hopes to catch a few of the talks while he catches up with old friends—and makes new ones.

One of the last big festivals of the year kicks off in Sligo next week - but you won't need your wellies.
Nearly 300 performers will take to the stage in over 80 performances, over 6 days, and it's all indoors.
Sligo Live this year celebrates 14 years of quality music on the Wild Atlantic Way.


For the month of March, NAISA's installation space is filled with everyday objects especially selected for the interesting sounds they make when struck or played, offering you a chance to play with sound and manipulate it live. A weekly series of performances through the month transforms the installation into a performance instrument featuring many local sound artists.
John Creson and Adam Rosen co-curate this special sound bash edition of the Audiopollination series. A diverse group of improvisors from the city will be mixed and matched through the evening for acoustic and electroacoustic sets of improvisation using the sound bash as a shared ensemble instrument. In recognition of Earth Hour, one set will be acoustic and in near darkness.

A ship carrying grain from Ukraine disappeared in the Mediterranean Sea — EADaily, August 16, 2022 — Economy news, Ukraine News
Dry cargo ship Razoni, carrying grain from Ukraine under the flag of Sierra Leone, has not transmitted any data about its location for the past three days, where it is currently located is unclear. With such statement on August, 15th the German newspaper Welt has acted.
According to her, two weeks after leaving the port of Ukraine and the unsuccessful delivery of grain, it is not known where the ship is now. In addition, as the newspaper writes with reference to the Ukrainian Embassy in Lebanon, there is also no data on which port a dry cargo ship with 26,000 tons of corn on board wants to call. Razoni, according to Welt, has not transmitted any information about its location for the past three days. The ship appears to have been off the east coast of Cyprus at the time of the last shipment, the newspaper concludes.
On August 14, Reuters, citing sources, reported that the cargo ship Razoni anchored near the Syrian port of Tartus. The Razoni became the first vessel carrying Ukrainian grain to leave Odessa via the maritime humanitarian corridor after the conclusion of a "food deal" between Russia, the UN, Turkey and Ukraine on July 22 in Istanbul. The dry cargo ship arrived in Istanbul on the evening of August 2, moored seven nautical miles from the Bosporus. Representatives of the Joint Coordination Center (JCC) inspected the vessel on the morning of 3 August. On the same day, the cargo ship continued its journey through the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles, leaving the waters of Turkey on August 4.
Razoni was supposed to dock at the end point of the route – the northern Lebanese port of Tripoli – on August 6, but the buyer refused the cargo due to a delay in delivery. On August 11, Reuters indicated that out of 26 thousand tons of corn on board the ship, 1.5 thousand were to be unloaded in Turkey, after which it was planned to send the ship to Egypt.

"Organisms which have evolved on this earth are governed by multitudes of periodicities; tomorrow is another today, and the next year is going to be much like this year. Accordingly, the principle of repetitious recurrence pervades every aspect of life on this earth. Thus, individual genes in the genome have been duplicated and triplicated often to the point of redundancy, and each coding sequence consists of numerous variously truncated as well as variously base-substituted copies of the original primordial building block base oligomers and their allies. This principle even appears to govern the manifestations of human intellect; musical compositions also rely on this principle of repetitious recurrence. Accordingly, coding base sequences can be transformed into musical scores using one set rule."

JASON WARD RACING
Having enjoyed his best-ever season in 2018, Jason has moved into the late David 'Dandy' Nicholls' former yard in Thirsk and expanded his string.
Jason, 49, sent out ten winners in Britain last term, his eighth based at the Dante yard in Middleham, and won his first Listed race with Maifalki in France.
For 2019, we have switched to Tall Trees Stables, from where Nicholls sent out numerous top sprint winners and which owner/breeder David Scott bought last year.
It is a proven yard, up to Group 1 level and has been refurbished, renovated and rejuvenated to an extremely high standard. The facilities include a 7f all weather gallop, indoor ride and lunge ring, 2 monarch horse walkers, 2 barns with stabling, an isolation block and around 10 acres of lush turnout to refresh and invigorate the horses.
Jason, a former jockey and assistant to James Fanshawe, took out his first training licence in 2011. He has worked and trained with some of the biggest names in the sport both here in the UK and around the world. With his father being the late, Bob Ward he was quite literally born in the saddle and has a wealth of experience.

Jobs boost for Hamilton as HSBC expands
Hamilton HSBC Contact Centre set to benefit
HSBC has announced an expansion of over 500 jobs to Scotland, with the HSBC centre of excellence in the Hamilton International Technology Park set to directly benefit.
The announcement comes after HSBC established a £500 million lending fund to support small and medium size businesses in Scotland. The bank added that the jobs would be phased in over the next six to nine months, with the total amount of employment offered by the bank in Scotland rising to 4,500.
Local MSP for Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse, Christina McKelvie MSP commented:
"It's always great news when companies decide to invest in my constituency and with HSBC, we have one of the most dynamic and forward thinking businesses in the country.
"I had the pleasure of visiting the contact centre last year and I've seen first-hand the incredible work ethic and employment practices that HSBC embody.
"The announcement of more jobs for my constituents will have a fantastic effect on not just our local economy but for the economy of Scotland as a whole.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, said the move was "fantastic news for the economy".
She added: "This is testament to our skills and expertise and builds on HSBC's significant business presence here.
"Scotland remains open for business and this announcement further demonstrates our position as a prime location for investment and growth."
Alison McGregor, chief executive of HSBC in Scotland, said: "This expansion programme spans different locations, skills and disciplines, supporting lots of communities in different ways.
"We are absolutely committed to helping businesses and individuals to achieve their ambitions.
"The successful establishment of our global risk function demonstrates that Scotland has the talent we need and HSBC is a place that talented people want to work."

Now, here's the best part of the story. 'Hayden's wife of 42 years, Katie, who was also on the flight, was less impressed. Even as her husband struggled with the agitated passenger, she barely looked up from 'The Richest Man in Babylon,' the book she was reading. 'The woman sitting in front of us was very upset and asked me how I could just sit there reading,' Katie Hayden said. 'Bob's been shot at. He's been stabbed. He's taken knives away. He knows how to handle those situations. I figured he would go up there and step on somebody's neck, and that would be the end of it. I knew how that situation would end. I didn't know how the book would end." (Laughing.) That is just fabulous. Wife knew how it was going to end, didn't care, kept on reading the book. Guy says to the Marine, 'You'll do.' (Laughing.) I saw this guy interviewed on Fox this morning, but there's a point here. He says, 'Yeah, all the younger guys had averted their eyes.' This guy is 65 years old, Hayden 65, he comes from a generation where they weren't taught conflict resolution in school, and the schools weren't raising a bunch of sissies in little boys and young men as a result of the chickification of the culture. Great, great, great love this story.
RUSH: Curt in Rockford, Illinois. Nice to have you. You're up first today, sir, on the EIB Network.
CALLER: Dittos, Rush. It's an honor to speak to you from flyover country.
CALLER: Hey, on the first story that you had about the folks that wouldn't help the two grandfathers.
CALLER: To subdue a passenger?
CALLER: I know why nobody helped, and it's because of the litigious society we live in. Get rid of the lawyers and people will help.
RUSH: Uh, so the theory is that the younger guys on the flight wouldn't help because they're afraid that the victim would sue them for manhandling them?
RUSH: Well, I can't deny that we're a litigious society, and I can't deny that people might have somewhat of a reluctance to get involved in something like that, but I don't think that's the first thought that crosses their mind. Most people are of the 'I'm not going to get involved' type, but when somebody starts disrupting an airplane with the experiences that we've had in this country, with that happening, it's time for action.
RUSH: Well, it turns out they didn't need it. But the guy made a point, Bob Hayden, in looking around and said that the punks on the plane averted their eyes and weren't interested. Thanks Curt. This is Scott in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. You're next on the EIB Network.
CALLER: A pleasure to talk to you, Rush. It's the first time I've ever tried to call. I've got to take issue with that younger person comment, though. I'm under 30 and I know a lot of guys just like me. If they would have been on the plane, those two guys would have been taken apart. It has nothing to do with age. It's all about your mind-set.
RUSH: Look, I don't know if there's a lot. I mean you take the passengers in that plane, there wasn't one young person that stood up. You could extrapolate that to the national population. The point that I was trying to make, and maybe I obscured my point with the invective and the inflamed rhetoric — but we are raising a bunch of sissies.
RUSH: Yes, we are. The new castrati. You can't deny that they're out there.
CALLER: There's so many people, like hundreds and thousands of guys that I've met throughout the course of my career and being at Walter Reed for two years. They would have ended that so quick, it's not even funny.
RUSH: I feel like Wolf Blitzer trying to talk to Rudy Giuliani.
RUSH: No, it's okay. It's good. You gotta give me some credit for sense. You know I'm not including you military people in this.
RUSH: Even if I was general, I mean I'm — (laughing) — you know me on the military, and you know that I'm familiar with how tough you people are. You have to just be able to assume some things here. But I'll make the point I was not talking about any military people or anybody in law enforcement, either.
CALLER: Okay. All right. But still, there are a lot of — you know, I'm young, or whatever, and there's still a lot of people who would have. I don't think wusses are a majority.
RUSH: May not be, but it's a growing number and it's worse than it used to be. We never used to raise little men to be sissies. We can't play dodge ball in school! We can't play tag. We can't play kick ball. You can't raise your hand in class now because that intimidates somebody else who doesn't know the answer. We're raising a bunch of sissies.
RUSH: Well, this is getting fun. I have some Marines writing in saying, 'Don't speak too soon here about those Army guys, Rush. There's some sissies in the Army.' Let's stop this. Now we got intra-service humorous rivalries going on. I don't want to get in the middle of this.
RUSH: I want to go back here to the story, my favorite story in a long, long time. Bob Hayden, on board a Minneapolis to Boston airplane with an unruly passenger on board. Bob Hayden — 65 years old, retired police captain, big law enforcement dude — he and his wife were on the plane. She's reading a book. This passenger was getting a little out of hand, and Bob Hayden gives a signal to the flight attendant and said, 'I'm going to do something about this.' He stood up, scanned the plane, didn't find anybody that appeared to be interested in getting involved. He said the young guys wouldn't even make eye contact. They were looking away, and he did find one guy sitting close to him, and said, 'Here's the deal. Are you interested?' The guy said, 'Retired captain, United States Marine Corps.' Bob Hayden said, 'You'll do.' So the stewardess — flight attendant, whatever — gave the signal, and they jump up and subdued the guy. While this is going on, the guy's wife, Bob Hayden's wife didn't do a thing. She kept reading the book. She never looked up. Somebody sitting next to her said, 'How could you do that? How could you sit here when your husband was out there trying to subdue someone?' She said, 'Look, I've been married to the guy 42 years. I've seen this all my life. I knew he was going to go up there and step on somebody's neck. I knew how this was going to end. I didn't know how my book was going to end.' (laughing) So Bob Hayden was on Fox today. We have a couple of sound bites. The first question from E. D. Hill, they asked him to describe what he saw on this flight. It was Northwest Flight 720 last Saturday.
HAYDEN: Looked to me like it was — it would have almost looked like a heart attack but it was something staged about it. So I immediately changed seats with the kid next to me and took the aisle seat and then I walked to the back of the — all the way from that seat to the back of the plane, because I thought it might be a diversion, it might be something coming from the back of the plane while we were all watching this and I looked at every person's face, didn't really see anything too worrisome.
HILL: — who it turns out was an ex-Marine, and he says, 'I'll help you.' What was the trigger?
HAYDEN: The trigger was they waved plastic handcuffs at me. Being an ex-cop that was like sort of Pavlov's dog, I knew what they wanted and I got up and the Marine came behind me and we subdued these guys and cuffed one of them and put them in the seats and belted them in.
RUSH: There were two guys being unruly. They way it went with the Marine, Bob Hayden is scouting the plane for assistance, because there's two guys and there's one of him, and he didn't find any looks of interest from the younger guys on the plane, because we were raising a bunch of sissies in this country, not including military people. Give me a break on this! You know, can't play tag. We can't play dodge ball. We can't play kick ball. We can't do any of these things in school anymore. 'Somebody might get hurt!' We can't raise our hands in class anymore because it humiliates those who don't know the answer. Let's face it. We can't applaud. Wait 'til you hear this. You can't applaud at your own graduation. They'll take your diploma away from you! You cannot applaud at your own graduation. Wait 'til you hear that. Yeah, it's the new castrati taking over. Anyway, these two guys, the 65-year-old Bob Hayden and saw this guy, another gray-haired guy sitting next to him and said, 'Here's the plan. Are you interested?' The Marine, 'former captain, ex-captain, retired captain, United States Marine Corps.' Bob Hayden said, 'You'll do.' So then E. D. Hill got to the question about his wife, quotes what she said. 'Bob's been shot at he's been stabbed he's taken knives away, knows how to handle those situations. I figured he'd go up there step on somebody's neck and that would be the end of it. I knew how that situation would end,' she said, 'I didn't know how the book would end so I kept reading.' She mentions that question to him, and here's Bob Hayden's response.
HAYDEN: Katie's the coolest customer I ever member.
RUSH: (Laughing.) I love this, folks! I love this whole story, everything about it. I just absolutely love it.
RUSH: Let's go Charlotte, North Carolina, Paul, welcome to the program, sir.
CALLER: Rush, mega Marine Corps Devil Dog dittos.
CALLER: I just wanted to bring to mind that the young man on Flight 93 were young men who stepped up to the plate and became heroes through their actions.
CALLER: No question about it, no question about it.
CALLER: We just want to remember that.
RUSH: That's an excellent point. Let me give you an illustration. Are you watching The Sopranos, Paul?
CALLER: No, I don't. I'm sorry.
RUSH: A.J. Soprano, Tony's son, is the classic example, for those of you watching the show, of what I am talking about is happening to young boys in skrools all over the country today.
CALLER: Well, I'd like to also mention a good example for young men to follow would be to remember those who died today June 6th, 1944.
RUSH: We're going to get to that. I'm going to read to you a prayer that FDR offered, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and it is going to shock you.
RUSH: And it's haunting. To this day it's still haunting. It's a source of great pride, Pointe Du Hoc. It is unbelievable what happened at Pointe Du Hoc with the Rangers. But this prayer offered by FDR will stun you in that you will realize a president could not deliver it today.
RUSH: Damon in Homer, Louisiana. Welcome to the program, sir.
CALLER: From the oil fields in Cajun country.
RUSH: Yeah, thank you, sir. It's always love getting people from Cajun country.
CALLER: Hey, look, Rush, I'm going to go ahead and take the other side of this. I say that the two wimps on that plane were the guys who didn't put up a fight.
CALLER: The thing is this. I worked in the oil field and have been all over the world, and I've traveled a lot on the airplanes and I know how it works. You know, after a couple weeks on the rig, you want a couple'a drinks.
RUSH: Wait a minute. These are troublemakers. These people intended… You don't ever know what they intend on this airplane. You wish they would have been successful?
CALLER: Oh, see the, the thing is, is that if they were mostly harmful it was okay but you know, I'll tell you what. If I was drinking and the flight attendants didn't even give me a warning, and some two old guys came up to me and throwed up to me, there would be a fight. I can guarantee you that! I might not have won, but I would have gone down swinging.
RUSH: (Laughing.) Well, that's a fantastic perspective. I enjoy getting the real-man perspective on this: taking the side of the perps all because you don't think they got a warning, right?
RUSH: I think they did.
CALLER: — know the standard procedure when you're drinking excessively on a plane, you know, the first thing they do is they stop selling you drinks.
RUSH: Wait a minute. It's hard to believe. Wait a minute, now. Wait a minute. Wait. It's hard to believe that you may be more informed than I on this, but were they drinking?
RUSH: It was more than that.
RUSH: It was more than noise. They were faking heart attacks. They were clearly trying to disrupt. There was curiosity about whether or not they were, you know, scoping things out for future mission. People have to be concerned about this on airplanes these days.
RUSH: (Laughing.) Justin Wilson! Is he still around?
CALLER: I don't know. He ain't even from Louisiana.
RUSH: Damon, look, I appreciate the call. You have a fascinating perspective on this.


Does your family have any traditions that are times of celebrations? More than likely, you do. It's a way that we stay connected to our heritage. There are some traditions that probably should be changed, but there are those traditions that are so rich in meaning that it would be detrimental to a groups history by bringing change. To this day, Jews still observe Passover and the Feast of Unleavened bread. What is significant about this celebrations? In our reading today, we will learn about the historical event that is still celebrated even now.
Blood was shed almost immediately after The Fall of humanity to make a covering (Genesis 3:21). From then, we begin to see sacrifices given to God. The first time we see this happen, God would not accept the half-hearted harvest gift of Cain but received the firstlings of Abels animal sacrifice (Gen. 4:3-5). Now, God commands that the blood of each family's lamb be placed on their doorpost. God would pass over each house with the blood applied and the meal observed but would take the life of each firstborn in the homes that did not follow the command. The house that was covered was saved from wrath. It is also interesting to note at this point that the word atonement means, "covering." When Christ atoned for our sins, he shed his blood, covered us with God's grace and saves us from wrath. What an incredible foreshadowing of things to come that God painted for us in the Old Testament.
God had Moses tell the people, "And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD's Passover" (Ex. 12:11). It sounds like God means business. I take this statement as two-fold. First, God is telling the people that the judgment on Egypt and the deliverance of the Israelites will be so complete, that the people will be quickly ushered out of the country. Secondly, it was an act of faith to take in the meal with their running shoes on. Do we have such confidence in God's Word? God said he would deliver them and so they should be ready to go at the exact moment He says, "Go!" Is your life ready for an immediate act of obedience?
The reason given for making an annual tradition of the Passover and Feast of the Unleavened Bread was for the children, future generations. Sometimes, when we start to change a tradition, we hear someone say, "But, this is the way we have always done it." That statement demonstrates a low understanding about the purpose of traditions. Traditions are not about preserving the old paths as an end to themselves. Instead, traditions keep history as a way to teach future generations. In this particular case, it was to show the children about God's deliverance and favor on Israel. How many other traditions do we currently have that are kept for the wrong purpose rather than teaching future generations about what God has done in the past? Traditions can show us what God has done and can still perform today.

IPPIS: Understanding the Position of ASUU and AGF Ahmed Idris
Muhammad Dahiru Lawal

"While FG and ASUU fight, the innocent Nigerians students continue to suffer"
The battle of wits between the Federal Government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) over the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS) may soon come to an end, with the recent compromise that seems to be close at hand.
Even though the Accountant General of the Federation, Ahmed Idris is being ferociously attacked by the leadership of ASUU over his insistence on the full implementation of the IPPIS across the board, the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation (OAGF), where IPPIS is domiciled, is also responsible for all receipts into and payments from the Federation and Consolidated Accounts.
The IPPIS was introduced in 2007 to provide accurate and reliable data on personnel in the public service, for the purpose of budgeting for recurrent expenditures and other challenges. The scheme is a form of identity system management aimed at providing a centralised database to support personal planning and decision-making, including the automated storage of personnel records to aid staff enrolment and monitoring, as well as to prevent wastage and leakages on the basis of factual personnel records and information.
Some of the features of the IPPIS are the facts that it captures facial images and fingerprints of government employees and stores them in a digitalised data-based library, which can be accessed with authorisation from anywhere.
President Muhammadu Buhari has always been passionate about IPPIS, so much that in his 2020 budget speech, he directed that all Federal Government workers must be enlisted in the scheme.
During a presentation of the Medium Term Expenditure Framework and Fiscal Strategy Paper (MTEF/FSP) in September 2019, the Finance Minister, Zainab Shamsuna Ahmed, announced the deadline of October of the same year for all federal ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) of government to enroll their staff on the IPPIS platform. She insisted that based on a presidential directive, staff members who were not captured on the automated payroll system would not be paid their salaries.
At a meeting with vice-chancellors, registrars and bursars of federal universities at the National Universities Commission Auditorium in Abuja in June 2019, the AGF, Ahmed Idris, told these senior university officials that the centralised payroll would be prepared by individual universities but coordinated through the IPPIS, while the total management of the human resources involved also rests squarely with the universities.
At subsequent meetings with the leadership of university-based unions, including ASUU, NASU, SSANU and NAAT in the same venue, Idris assured that the IPPIS platform would accommodate all financial peculiarities pertaining to university staff, including those involving sabbaticals, visitations, honoraria and other earned allowances. He added that deductions for the National Housing Fund (NHF), National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) Check-off and other dues from staff would be remitted to the appropriate accounts when due.
While appealing to them, AGF said the university community, being the bedrock of knowledge production and the centre of reforms that has always striven for probity, transparency and accountability, towards good governance, would contribute tremendously in bringing to bear all such unique qualities in the implementation of IPPIS.
In his remarks during the meetings, the Executive Secretary of the National Universities Commission (NUC) and the host, Professor Abubakar Rasheed said the IPPIS scheme would engender transparency, accountability and probity in government expenditure, as well as centralise the payroll systems that would address challenges affecting the country's public universities.
The ASUU President, Professor Biodun Ogunyemi, at one of the meetings, expressed the fear that if implemented, IPPIS could erode university autonomy and the powers of University Councils.
Possibly what provoked the anger of lecturers with the AGF was when he allegedly issued a letter dated December 2, 2019, advising vice-chancellors that universities which were not yet enrolled on the IPPIS should do so promptly or face appropriate sanctions.
Many ASUU members appeared very furious with the threat. In a reaction, Professor Deji Omole, the ASUU chairman at the University of Ibadan, said it was unfortunate that vice-chancellors had now become errand boys who were being threatened by "an account clerk".
Meanwhile, in rejecting IPPIS, Professor Ogunyemi considered it wrong for universities to adopt a payment platform that was not designed for the peculiarities of their system. According to him, the platform does not recognise the negotiated agreements that had been reached on allowances that were not academic in nature, and those relating to research journals, among others.
Some lecturers also pointed out that IPPIS is a one-line salary scale, in which taxes are even being deducted from allowances. As an alternative to IPPIS, ASUU produced and recommended the adoption of the University Transparency Account System (UTAS), regarded as a robust software solution that would be sensitive to the uniqueness of the university system in addressing personnel information and payment system, among other things.
It is gathered that the UTAS platform has been sent to the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) for integrity tests to verify its efficacy and ascertain that the final product would pass the necessary technical requirements.
During recent closed-door meetings, the AGF appealed to ASUU executives to agree to receive their salaries through the IPPIS platform, pending when the UTAS will be ready for use after the integrity tests on it have been concluded. The Union is said to have rejected these pleas by arguing that the functionality of the IPPIS was not demonstrated to them before government started using it for workers, while equally wondering why the demands for the adoption of the UTAS became the basis for the stoppage of their salaries.
It is heart-warming that after extensive negotiations and foot-dragging, the Federal Government has finally accepted the demand of ASUU that its members be exempted from the IPPIS.
Even though 697 ministries, departments and agencies of government (MDAs) and 1,139,000 staff, including those of the Nigerian Police, para-military and military establishment have been enrolled on the IPPIS as at June, the Labour Minister, Senator Chris Ngige informed the public last week, that the government has also agreed to ASUU's demand to pay the salary arrears of its members, from February to June, through GIFMIS, the old payment platform, until UTAS is ready for use. The government equally has agreed to lift the 'no work, no pay' policy, which necessitated the withholding of the salaries of striking lecturers in the first place.
While I pray and hope that the impasse between the Federal Government and ASUU would be resolved as soon as possible, no matter the eventual winner in this crisis, Nigerian youths, especially the students in public universities are the big losers, wasting eight-month at home, rather than being productively engaged in their citadels of learning.
I wish the accomplishments of the AGF in the last five years will not be rubbished or trivialised by certain unresolved issues. Even though the Federal Government extended his tenure for another four years in June 2019, I believe that it is however judicious to exit a scene when the ovation is loudest, especially as the AGF clocked the age of 60 on November 25, 2020.
The record of achievements and special interventions of Ahmed Idris, a chartered accountant and certified fraud examiner, on worthy causes, are quite numerous. Under his leadership, the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation (OAGF) successful implemented a number of far-reaching reforms in public finance management (PFM), including the introduction of the IPPIS and the treasury single account (TSA); the adoption of the International Public Sector Accounting Standard (IPSAS), the Government Integrated Financial Management Information System (GIFMIS) and the Assets Tracking Management Project (ATMP); alongside the transformation of the Federal Treasury Academy, among others.
I will appeal to the Federal Government and ASUU to place the interests of the nation and those of young Nigerian students, who have experienced a very disturbing disruption of their education so far, above all other considerations, as they move forward in ending the ongoing impasse. May the best decisions for the ultimate good of the public prevail.
