It might not be very creative or original, but on St. Patrick's Day I always cook up a batch of corned beef and cabbage. In fact, it's a meal I only cook once a year, even though I really love it. In that regard, I guess it's sort of akin to the once-per-year Thanksgiving dinner.
Place 3 carrots and 3 celery stalks, each cut into chunks, into a slow cooker, along with 1 chopped yellow onion, 1/2 to 1 lbs small red or white potatoes and a few sprigs of thyme.
Give a store-bought corned beef brisket a good rinse in cold water to rid it of some of the brining salt. Corned beef and cabbage can be too salty otherwise.
Then put the brisket on top of the potatoes and veggies, fat side up with a couple bay leafs, and sprinkle with the spice packet that came with the corned beef. Add water or a half-and-half mixture of water and chicken or vegetable broth to cover the meat, place the cover on the cooker, and cook until the beef is tender: about four to five hours on high heat, or eight to nine hours on low.
About an hour before serving time, add 1/2 to 1 head of cabbage, cut into 1 1/2 to 2-inch wedges, and continue cooking until the cabbage is tender, 45 minutes to an hour, approximately. It's almost impossible to overcook corned beef, so don't fret about exact timing. Remove the beef, slice it across the grain and serve with the cooked vegetables, potatoes, good-quality mustard and bathed in some of the cooking liquid.

I am back today with a handmade inspirational journal to share with you, made using the gorgeous Papercakes Digital Scrapbooking papers.
To create this journal I used all 3 of the Papercakes Holiday collections with a touch of the newest edition LOVE BITES. I just love how all the papers work well together.
And on the front cover you can see a touch of the NEW LOVE BITES collection!
Throughout the journal I have added the patterned paper randomly, some have inspiration quotes added to them and others are just left plain for the receiver to add photos or tip ins.
The front and back cover are made with medium weight chipboard covered with white card stock and I used my We Are Memory Keepers Cinch Tool for the binding.
For the closure I added a generous amount of twine to wrap around…with enough room for the journal to expand with use.

Beavers All
Scott Sharik
Serving the people who serve
While he's still a relative newcomer to campus—arriving just last March as director of human resources—Scott Sharik has quickly come to appreciate the university's four enduring values.
In his brief experience so far, Scott says he has seen openness to discovery and examples of community, respect and service, making those values "pretty accurate characteristics of Bluffton" in his mind.
That also makes them a good fit with where Scott says he's coming from in his still-new role. "I see myself as serving the people who serve the people. I think that's what HR is about."
"I am a person who is driven by the values and the mission of the organization," he adds. Bluffton's mission—and the chance to remain in a Council for Christian Colleges and Universities institution—were among the reasons for his interest in coming to Ohio, he notes, after serving as HR director at Geneva College in Beaver Falls, Pa., since 2010.
"My goal in HR will be to try to improve systems that best serve the organization in trying to accomplish its mission, and to support faculty and staff in doing their work."
The systems that Scott is addressing in recentralizing HR include new employee orientation, which he foresees with a mentoring component; the hiring process for staff, which is entailing such work as interview training with supervisors; and a job description update project that will include all positions on campus, he says.
Roughly 160 job descriptions were rewritten when he was at Geneva, he points out, as were 167 at Grace College and Theological Seminary when he was HR director there from 1999-2007.
Saying he's "thrilled" about the Creating Together initiative, Scott adds that he's also interested in more strategic efforts. He would like those to include working with faculty and staff on professional development "in such a way that one would build a training resource center," based on "a community of people who contribute to each other's growth."
Teamwork is of particular interest to Scott, whose master's thesis looked at the roles of the aspects of the Trinity and how they work together. He's trying to find ways to improve processes to help facilitate more effective collaboration on campus, he explains, saying he hopes to create a dialogue with faculty and staff about how to work better together.
"This work is not a destination; it's a path" that will involve not only walking, but also falling off and getting back on, he notes. And he's trusting in God "to help me be influential in a dynamic way to bring about change that matches our values," he says.
The Westmont, Ill., native found his faith while serving in the Army in Hawaii in the late '70s. He became involved with interdenominational ministry to military personnel, and later attended seminary at Grace for a year and a half, but ultimately entered human resources inspired through a job with Cardinal Services of Indiana, which serves adults with disabilities.
He became an HR director for the first time at Grace Village Retirement Community in 1996. But more than 12 of his 16-plus years as a director have now been spent in Christian higher education, which he says he values "because of the immeasurable implications of influences that one life can make" on students.
Scott, who holds a bachelor's degree in English from San Diego State University, earned his master's degree in intercultural ministries while working at Grace in 2000. Sara, the oldest of his five children and a May 2015 graduate of Trinity Christian College in Illinois, is now an admissions counselor at Grace. Lima residents since June, he and his wife, Sally, are also the parents of Stephen, who just graduated from high school; Staci, 16; Samuel, 15; and Simeon, 10.
"I am a person who is driven by the values and the mission of the organization." Bluffton's mission—and the chance to remain in a Council for Christian Colleges and Universities institution—were among the reasons for his interest in coming to Ohio."


Though there is evidence to indicate that the town was founded well before this, Laugharne Corporation traces its formal history back to this charter.
The Corporation was not reformed in 1835 and was technically abolished in 1886. However it has continued and is a unique organisation operating under its original charter and administering lands it has held for hundreds of years.
The photograph was taken in the late 1930's and shows the castle before all the ivy and vegetation was removed. The quayside is visible below the castle alongside the River Corran.
The castle is first mention in 1116 in the Brut y Tywysogyon or the Chronicle of the Princes. This records that the Norman, Robert Courtemain, entrusted his castle at Abercorram to Bleddyn ap Cedifor.
The castle sits on the cliff overlooking the River Corran which flows past it and into the River Tâf. The early castle takes its name from the river. During the twelfth and thirteenth century the castle was called both Abercorram and Talacharn.
The first castle was a simple ringwork of earth and timber. A bank and ditch with a timber palisade on top of the bank defended the castle from the landward side.
The builders also used the natural defences of the river and cliffs to protect the castle. Traces of this structure were found during archaeological excavations. In 1171/72 Henry II visited the castle, where he met Rhys ap Gruffudd, the Lord Rhys, Prince of Deheubarth. This area of Wales at the time was part of the kingdom of Deheubarth and Rhys was an important and dominant figure in the region. Rhys and Henry reached an agreement in the castle and Rhys acknowledged the English crown as his lord.
Henry died in 1189 and the new king ignored the agreement. Rhys retaliated and attacked and captured the castles of Laugharne, Llansteffan and St Clears. Laugharne Castle was recovered from the Welsh soon afterwards and repaired and enlarged. In 1215 the Prince of Gwynedd, Llewelyn ap Iorwerth led an army which swept across the region capturing the main castles at Carmarthen and Cardigan and destroying other castles including Laugharne.
The catastrophic event was recorded in the archaeology of the site, with evidence of extensive burning and destruction. Numerous arrowheads found here, point to a substantial attack on the castle at the time.
In 1223, William Marshall, the 2nd Earl of Pembroke, attacked Llewelyn and recovered Carmarthen and Cardigan. Laugharne would have been recovered at this time. Soon afterwards building work was carried out. By 1247 Laugharne was in the control of the de Brians. It was the de Brians who were responsible for substantially rebuilding the castle in stone.
The family were French and held land in Devon from the middle of the 12th century. Torbryan in Devon became the main family home. The family name has various forms through the centuries, Bryan or Brian being the most common. Each son for several generations was given the same name, so each Sir Guy has been numbered for ease of recognition.
The de Brians appeared in west Wales from around 1247, when they acquired the lordships of Laugharne and Walwyn's Castle in Pembrokeshire. It was Sir Guy de Brian IV who acquired Laugharne in 1247 and it was this Sir Guy who started a major rebuilding programme of the castle. He concentrated on building the inner ward of the castle. During 1257 and 1258 Llewelyn ap Gruffudd, the Prince of Gwynedd, attacked areas of Wales under Anglo-Norman control. Towns and castles in west Wales including Laugharne were attacked and burnt. Sir Guy IV was captured and then ransomed in 1258. He died in 1268.
Guy de Brian V succeeded his father and continued to strengthen the castle including the outer ward. He might have granted the borough its first known charter. He built the outer gatehouse facing the borough. Guy de Brian VI succeeded his father in 1307. He did very little work on the castle and because of ill health the estates were managed by his son from around 1330. Guy de Brian VII succeeded his father in 1349. He was the last and most famous in a long line of de Brians. He was a distinguished soldier and fought at the Battle of Crécy in 1346. He was a close friend of Edward III and Admiral of the Fleet. He continued to develop the castle though the period. He died in 1390 and is buried in Tewksbury Abbey. He outlived his eldest sons and was succeeded by his youngest son William. He died soon after his father and the estate was disputed by the daughters of his dead brothers. Almost a century later in 1488 the four claimants of the de Brian family reached an agreement and Henry Percy, the fourth earl of Northumberland acquired the castle.
The earls of Northumberland held the castle until 1531 when the lordship and that of Walwyn's Castle were rented to Thomas Perrot of Pembrokeshire. Eventually in 1575 it was granted to his son, Sir John Perrot, by Queen Elizabeth 1st for an annual rent of £80 payable to the earl of Northumberland. By this time the castle seems to be in a terrible state of repair. Perrot set about converting the ruin into a substantial mansion, both comfortable and defendable. In 1591 Perrot was accused of high treason and imprisoned in the Tower of London. He was found guilty but died before the death sentence could be carried out. A survey of 1592 indicates that Perrot did not finish his scheme for the castle. Sis son Sir Thomas then acquired the castle and estates. By 1627 the castle was the property of Sir Sackville Crowe and by then seemed to be in considerable disrepair.
Sir William Russell, a Royalist, then acquired the castle. It was in Parliamentary control in early 1644, but was captured and then held by Royalist forces. On October the 28th 1644 Major-General Rowland Laugharne assembled a Parliamentary force of around 2000 men and besieged the castle for just over a week. It surrendered on November the 3rd after a night time attack. The castle was damaged by cannon fire during the siege and then parts were deliberately demolished to reduce its capacity for defence.
garden associated with Castle House. In 1973 it was put into the guardianship of the Secretary of State for Wales by the then owner Anne Starke. Between 1976 and 1993 extensive archaeological excavations were undertaken and the castle masonry was consolidated. It is now maintained by Cadw; Welsh Historic Monuments.


In this episode of Mobile Alabama Business Podcast, I sit down with Keith Sherrill. Keith is the owner of Haint Blue Brewing in Mobile. You can find Haint Blue on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. I really enjoyed getting to learn more about Keith's story and where his desire to bring a brewery to Mobile stems from. He's really a friendly guy that makes a really stellar Porter, so let's dive right in with Keith Sherrill!
Keith: My name is Keith Sherrill and I am the CEO of Haint Blue Brewing Company.
Marcus: Well, I'd like to welcome you to the podcast, Keith.
Keith: Thank you. Thanks for having me.
Marcus: Yeah. To get started, because people may not be familiar with who you are, did you grow up here in the Mobile area?
Keith: I didn't. I'm a Alabama native. I grew up in and around Montgomery. Then joined the Army out of there at a fairly young age when I was 17, and have been moving around ever since. This is the first time I've really called Alabama home in 14 years. I've been in Mobile about a year now. Certainly visit a lot over the years as well.
Marcus: Give us some background about your upbringing. You said you grew up in Montgomery?
Keith: Yeah. My dad lives in Montgomery, and my mom, Millbrook [inaudible 00:00:50]. I graduated high school at Stanhope Elmore. Great education there.
Marcus: You mentioned Army. Did you go into that immediately following high school?
Keith: I did. I was 17. I joined January 28th, 2002, so shortly after 9/11. Watched that whole event in my English class. I think that left an impact, right? I saw that. Didn't really come from a military family necessarily, but, yeah, felt like I wanted to do something.
Marcus: Just the right thing to do at the time.
Keith: I don't know. I hate to say that [inaudible 00:01:30].
Marcus: No, I mean, there's nothing ... Please don't take that the wrong way. I have ridiculous amounts of respect for people that make that decision because you are basically putting country first. My father isn't from the U.S.
Marcus: I don't take the freedoms that we have lightly.
Marcus: I didn't mean it in any way other than just there's a lot that happened around that time period. I was living in DC at the time and had people that I knew personally in the Pentagon when it was hit.
Marcus: Like, if I hadn't had kids and a wife at the time I could definitely have seen wanting to go and be in the military.
Keith: Yeah. Yeah. You know, beyond that, I mean, too, it was perfect for me, right? I didn't have some outlandish plan afterwards. It briefed well to me, too.
Keith: Like, okay, I could be a career military man. Go fight terrorism. That sounds like it might be in my wheelhouse. It was a good life for me. I didn't mean to stay in 14 years either. The idea was I would join, I'd go to Afghanistan. The silly thing is I was in a hurry. I thought I was going to miss the war. I did. I thought I was going to miss the war.
Marcus: We're still at war, aren't we?
Keith: Right? I went there a handful of times after that [crosstalk 00:03:07]. Yeah, I was in a hurry to get there. In my head was I was going to go. I was reading John Leppelman's Thirty-Six Months in Vietnam, so I started beefing up on military books.
Keith: Anyway, I thought I was going to go on this tour, the war was going to be over, and I might have a year or two left on assignment. I would go somewhere cool like Germany, get out of Alabama, get some perspective and experience.
Keith: Then I would do something else, and likely that would be go to college like the rest of my friends. They were at Alabama at Auburn [inaudible 00:03:42] or whatever. That didn't happen, man. I stayed. I genuinely liked it. For a 17 year old to all of a sudden have ... I mean, there's still kind of a paternal vibe from the military. In a sense they do own you, but at the same time I'm 17. I got all this autonomy. I was able to buy a house at 20. I was so ... I don't know. I felt like I was growing up.
Marcus: Well, it definitely makes you grow up.
Marcus: Very quickly. When you're being shipped overseas and at war, I mean, you were no longer a child.
Marcus: You are definitely an adult.
Keith: Yeah, it's a little bit different.
Keith: Certainly different. I mean, still young. It's interesting. My first few deployments where I was arguably an adult at this point, outside of just having been to war, I'm in my 20s at this point. Even from those later deployments in my 20s to a last deployment at 30, oh, it was two completely different individuals. You know what I mean?
Keith: Experience is one thing, but age is another as well. I learned a lot. I saw things that I thought I'd already learned very, very differently ten years later. It was interesting.
Keith: I mean, I went on a bit of a tangent there.
Marcus: No, it's totally fine. You did not end up going to college. The education was ... After 14 years in the military you're going to tell me you went to college too?
Keith: I'm going to try to do this quickly. My first five years I was a ranger. I was enlisted.
Keith: I was a staff sergeant and I'm about to get out of the Army. Decided I would like to fly helicopters. I put in a flight packet. I got accepted. I went to flight school. At that point I was a [inaudible 00:05:34] officer. Then, get back to the education piece. All that training to be an Army aviator, it gave me a quite a bit of college credit toward an aeronautics degree. I took that experience and then finished two years while I was on active duty with [inaudible 00:05:53]. I got a bachelor of science in aeronautics.
Keith: I'm currently an MBA student at William & Mary as well.
Marcus: William & Mary in Virginia?
Marcus: Yeah. I have a number of friends, because I grew up in the Washington, DC area, as I mentioned.
Marcus: I have a number of friends that went to William & Mary. One of the best schools in the state, but at the time, also had a really bad reputation because they really pushed their students. Kudos to you for taking that on because I know it's probably a pretty rigorous program.
Keith: Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I'm thinking about it right now. I'm in the last year one class now. I had a residency earlier in the year. Other than that, I've just been picking up ... Education's powerful, man.
Keith: It's powerful. I mean, there's plenty of people. I hear all the time everybody shouldn't go to college. There's trades. That's true, but I learned more about myself. I was able to unpack some experiences that I had professionally into an academic program. Maybe studying some things that I didn't necessarily value as important, to come to find out that they were very important.
Keith: They now make up a big part of who I am now. Then, in business, I wasn't a businessman before this. I know how to execute. I know how to plan. I'm very familiar with operations. I know how to get things done. There's some value in having a rigid or traditional academic business education as well. I went to Stanford University over the summer. They have ... It's called Ignite Program. It's basically entrepreneurial studies, kind of ... It's not all entrepreneurs that go there, but the idea is innovation.
I spent a month out there. It was incredible, man. I never got to sit down. Even when I was finishing undergrad, I was going to work. Then I'm married and later I have my son. That's a lot of peoples' story, but I didn't really get to just kind of completely be a sponge with it.
Keith: That month in California, man, just sitting on campus. It was huge. It was all these people constantly talking about business ideas. We were meeting incredible people like Condoleezza Rice came in, [George Shultz 00:08:11], Jim Mattis. All these people were lecturers during my time there. It was incredible. I couldn't have got that anywhere else. I mean, I could've got some street cred along the way and figured it out, but, I don't know. I'm seeing a lot of value in that. To go back to the education piece, I have a very nontraditional education, but it's not because I don't value it.
Marcus: Yeah. No, you've mentioned something about ... I think you started to go down the path of education as something even ... You started to go into, well, not everybody's supposed to go or should think about going to college, that trade's ... I've been thinking about this a lot lately because I have three boys and one of them is about two years away from going to college. He knows fairly well what he wants to do.
Marcus: It's a job that would not really require him to go to college, right? As parents, we've been kicking around the idea of, well, we very much believe in the education that college provides, but it's really an education in how to learn.
Marcus: He's not going to go to the college and learn the trade. He's going to go to learn how to learn. This kid is already spending several hours everyday doing what it is, so I'd argue that he's already learned how to learn.
Marcus: I wonder as a parent is it wise for him to put off what is going to ultimately take him years to build up, and also is it wise for us to invest over $100,000 in his education?
Marcus: State school nowadays is just ridiculously expensive.
Marcus: If you have children, look into it. It's, what? $25,000 to $35,000 for a public school in-state in Alabama.
Marcus: I don't know. It's just kind of throwing me. I say all that just to wrap that up. Education I believe is something that you do regardless of whether you're in a trade or ... I think that's what you were saying.
Marcus: Regardless of whether you're in a trade or whether you go to full-time, because I do not want to downplay ... Especially in Mobile, you can be a welder and make six figures and be successful.
Marcus: You can continue to hone that craft and to learn and go and take apprenticeships with various people. Learn that, how to be better, or even just how to learn how to be a better businessman.
Marcus: Even as a welder. I love Jesse James and what he's doing.
Marcus: He basically learned a craft and applies that craft, whether it be through building motorcycles or building cars or having a hit TV series where he was doing outlandish things with these items. Now he runs Jesse James Firearms Unlimited in Austin, Texas.
Marcus: The craftsmanship that he does is just absolutely ridiculous. This man took a hunk of steel from the Statue of Liberty and basically made it into a 45 caliber 1911. It is one of the most beautiful pieces of work that I've ever seen.
Marcus: I would argue that Jesse James, I don't know this, I'm probably guessing.
Marcus: He's never gone to college.
Marcus: That man has continued to learn and educate himself. That's just [crosstalk 00:11:51].
Marcus: This is Marcus stepping off of his soapbox now.
Keith: I think you're right, man. I appreciate you unpacking it.
Keith: At the end of the day I think maybe I didn't necessarily value lifelong learning.
Keith: That's what I'm trying to do now.
Marcus: Yeah. Do you still fly?
Keith: I haven't flown, golly, since '15 my last flight. Yeah, it's been a while, '14 maybe. It's been a couple years.
Marcus: That's not something you unlearn, though.
Keith: I hope not. I don't know. I don't know, man. I don't know. I had a guy stop at the [ice house 00:12:31] recently. He's a coastguard, a helicopter pilot, and offered to let me get some sim time on a Friday, get in the simulator. Part of me was like, "Ah, I'm going to embarrass myself in there."
Marcus: Did you take him up on it?
Keith: Yeah, I certainly want to. Yeah, he was out of town for a little bit doing some training, and then I got busy. I intend on doing that.
Keith: I think it would kind of knock some edge off for me as well. It would be fun to do. Anyway, man, flying's fun, man. Flying's fun.
Marcus: That's cool. You are starting a brewery. Is it Haint?
Marcus: Yeah. I wasn't sure if I was going to pronounce it correctly or not, so Haint Blue. How do you even begin to get started in that? Was this a hobby that somehow morphed into something bigger?
Keith: A little bit. A little bit of both. Best way to start there, so I'll just say ... I'll start with where the brewery idea came from, and then talk about Haint Blue a little bit and why we chose that. I'm getting out of the Army, I'm living in a suburb outside of Seattle. Like I said, I never meant to spend 14 years in the Army. I was just continually having fun and then it came to a point to where it was time to do something else.
Honestly it came to a point where I'd kind of hit a point where I would be doing this forever or not. You know what I mean? I was kind of on that seesaw a little bit, and I chose to do something else.
What do you do then? I've not finished undergrad. This kind of goes back to the education point for me. I found that despite 14 years in the military, I worked my way up nine or so ranks, I'd been overseas nine times, I knew how to fly a helicopter, I'd been in a operations role, that doesn't brief well on a resume either. I didn't necessarily enjoy the job hunt necessarily. I didn't hit it very vigorously. I've always kind of had a bit of an entrepreneurial spirit. I think it is very much an American dream and I've certainly drink the American Kool-Aid.
All throughout my 20s I've had several ideas in my head of, man, I could do that, or this business needs to happen. You know what I mean? Kind of yearn for I've now left a very rigid military chain of command to now I'm the boss of something I created. You know what I mean? That's a huge dichotomy. You know what I mean?
Marcus: Yeah, the structure and rigidness of the military versus the wild wild west of owning your own business and having to wear many, many hats.
Keith: Yeah. Yeah. I like experiences, right? I'm the guy at 17 that's like, "All right. I'm going to Afghanistan," or, "I guess I could fly a helicopter." It was kind of the same a approach to why couldn't I start a business? You just got to take the leap. Take the risk. Be willing to stomach it, I guess.
Keith: So I did. Like, okay, I'm going to open a business. Well, then where? I said, "We're in Washington. I love Washington. It's a fantastic place to live. I'm a sucker for the mountains, so I like being in the woods and Rainier. All of that stuff, but listen at me, I mean, I'm not from Washington. All of my family's here. You know? We got a little boy and we had talked about having another kid," which we have one on the way now.
Keith: Yeah. Thanks. There was also the big change of being in the military to being a small business owner. It was to being very far away from my family, as I had been for a decade, to move home. Now we're in kind of a compound. There's three or four family members that are within a rock's throw [inaudible 00:16:33] house, so very different.
Keith: Mobile showed up on the radar. I had visited Savannah and stuff over the years as well. I really liked Savannah. We were looking at Mobile and Savannah, and essentially the big push for Mobile was family. I had visited Mobile over the years. I took my R&R here, actually. I did [inaudible 00:16:57] pilot, Afghanistan. My wife and I were living in New York and I rented a house for here in Midtown while I was gone. I came back here, took a Carnival cruise.
I remember running through the streets, I think I was on Government, morning run the first day. I didn't sleep very well. I just kind of wanted to get some exercise, some fresh air. I don't know. That image stuck in my mind. I don't know how to explain it, but it was a nice image. When I went back overseas I had this image of what did you do on your R&R? How did you unpack? Mine was kind of running on Government Street and seeing these [inaudible 00:17:35] draped over the streets. I think that planted a seed, too.
Keith: I kind of had a bit of affinity for Mobile. I remember seeing the beautiful houses downtown. I was like, "Man, that's a southern life. That's something." We moved here for that as well. We moved in Midtown. I drive that Land Rover down Government Street. I think about it every time.
To get to the point of who I am today is there wasn't a brewery here. At the time, as I'm trying to to figure out what I wanted to do in business or what I wanted to do in life, I'm walking around my backyard in Washington. We have hops growing up our gutters. I'd just gotten back from a brewery that day after going hiking or whatever. I don't know, man. It just seemed like the thing to do.
It was like, okay, I'm moving to Mobile. This is kind of where I want to live. Whoa, there's not a brewery and that's one of my favorite things to do, to visit. I'm very interested in it and I think it improves the quality of life. I think I can get behind that.
Marcus: Well, if you spend any time in Seattle ... I've traveled to Seattle and Portland. There's a huge community of brewers there that ... I mean, they really have kind of a, I don't know, it's just a fostering of that community.
Marcus: There's brewers all over the place.
Marcus: We would go the bars and it literally ... There would not be any Miller or Bud or [inaudible 00:19:03] or whatever.
Marcus: It would be all these local breweries. It would be 30 or 40 different beers on tap. It would change everyday.
Marcus: Yeah. I can see how that would be something that you would want to bring here.
Keith: Yeah. You get it. It's the mission behind craft beer that I really got involved in. If I did take a job outside of this I probably would've gone to nonprofits or something social. Craft beer, it's a community gathering place, man. Speaking back to Seattle or Portland, a lot of the cool things that happen in the city or help along, they sponsor everything. You know? They're raising money. They're providing a venue for certain businesses in the area. You know what I mean? I think they help out the community beyond beer. You know?
Keith: I heard somebody say the other day that it's kind of like you become the city's pro sports team, too. You know? The brewery from your town.
Keith: I like the social aspect of it. You can't do that in every business, but that's certainly one you can. What else? I need to give myself some credentials here beyond my romantic ideas of how to end up here.
Marcus: Sure. There's hops growing in my backyard. I know, I'll start a brewery.
Keith: Now, what qualifies me to actually do that? The answer to that, I'm not the head brewer. My brother-in-law, Matt Wheeler, is. The guy is, well, he's equal parts artist and scientist, which you need. You know? I can handle the art part, but I get a little annoyed at the science part. I love the end product. He kind of fills that gap. He has the patience for it. I mean, he's a brewer by divine design, man. The guy should've always been a brewer.
Marcus: Because we've done a number of shows with folks in the food culinary arts industry, a lot of chefs, and I have a lot of friends that I know are restaurateurs, that are chef restaurateurs, and there is something about a person that goes into that realm. They do have to very much be part scientist. They have to know the different tastes and how to combine them, and how to get that end product.
I was at an event the other day with William Stitt, who's been on the show as well. The purveyor of Old 27 Grill and Bill-e's Bacon, so shout out to William. Anyway, he was doing a tasting. He was very intentional, as I imagine you all are with how you combine the various ingredients that go into your beer, knowing what that end product is going to be.
Marcus: Once you have something that you can sample, knowing what it is in that you need to tweak in order to get the flavor profile correct.
Marcus: Yeah, it's not just dump a bunch of stuff into a vat.
Keith: That's not it at all.
Keith: In fact, it was not easy, man. He's the head brewer. We spent the entire year ... I got here, we're March now, I got ... I pulled into Mobile January 25th.
Keith: We brewed as a company I guess that first week. What that meant was we were brewing in my backyard. We did that all yearlong. These brews that are here now, which is kind of surreal for us, I mean, we worked really hard to get it where it is.
Keith: You know? None of them are first iteration beers, or first generation for that matter. There is some hard work to it. I had home brewed, Matt had home brewed. We had to get some experience under our belts. That coupled with we went up to Colorado. Spent some time in Colorado last year brewing with another brewery up there. Matt and I both flew out. They have a similar size system. We hung out, kind of opened the books, kind of showed us some of the business side of things. Then we actually brewed some beer there as well to kind of see, kind of work out all the processes. Kind of like a consultant role, really.
Keith: It's a good contact to have now as we're ramping things up. Also, went out to Belgium. I wanted to figure out on the business side of things, like, why did Belgium embrace beer so much? You know what I mean? They're known for beer. I wanted to experience that. You can read about it, you can speculate about it, but it's a whole nother thing to be there.
Marcus: To go and be there and ... Yeah, talk to the people firsthand.
Keith: Yeah, man. It was insane. I learned more on that trip than I could've ever learned in any class on Belgium or anything. It was just experiential. We did the same thing ... We went to England as well. The idea was to figure out how the pubs were so popular in England. What made England known for that? The thing I figured out there, I'm confident we can be known for beer here in Mobile, Alabama, but I don't know about the pub. I can't compete with that. English pubs are English pubs because they're in England.
Keith: They're older than Alabama. You know?
Keith: Couldn't necessarily recreate that. Going back to the community gathering place, kind of seeing what they were doing there in Europe, and be able to implement some of that, or kind of borrow some things to try here in town. It was really cool as well. Of course, went out west and Haint Blue ... That Stanford program was picked as a finalist. I got a team of five for a month to just try to figure out how best to execute Haint Blue in terms of product and just the business itself. We've been trying to get smart all year through experiences, trial and error, and actual education. That's gotten us to where we're at now.
Keith: A little more of a harebrained idea than hops in a backyard. I like to tell that part because, again, that goes back to the art side. I like the art and that part of the story more than the science, which is the actual rubber meeting the road of what we did.
Keith: We worked hard last year. We really did. It's nice to see that if you put in the work you can eventually put that product out in the market.
Marcus: Get there. I'm going to rapid fire a couple of things for you. One of the things that we like to get from folks that are on the show is if you were talking to somebody that was looking at starting a business, what's the one bit of wisdom that you would share with them?
Keith: Take action. I could've easily kicked this around, and sometimes I wanted to, because it's very stressful being an entrepreneur. Even if you don't have a financial worry, and I'm certainly not saying I don't, because I do, but it's tough. It's tough. There's nobody. You are the person. You have to make the decision. That actually requires you to do so, so take action.
Keith: From consuming the marmot. But, the fact that they've been doing it for tens of thousand of years means that something about it had to work. In other words, there's some byproducts, such as sharpening claws. I like to think about that in terms of taking action, too. Your failures ... I hear all the time fail early, fail fast, or fail often or whatever. They're not always failures. They could be sharpening your claws for that next challenge that you have to [crosstalk 00:26:58].
Marcus: Sure. It's not failure for the sake of failure. The understood comment or undertone of that is that if you're failing then you're trying something, right?
Marcus: You're doing something. You're taking that action.
Marcus: You're not just being passive and letting it happen to you. You're going out and being active.
Keith: I dig it. Be the bear. Be the bear.
Marcus: There's your wisdom, so be the bear. What are the last two books that you've read that you found helpful?
Keith: Oh, last two books that I read that have been helpful? Honestly, honestly I wish I had something more entertaining. Again, I'm an MBA student.
Keith: I guess the Managerial Economics and Operations and Supply Chain Management.
Marcus: You heard it here, folks. Run right out to Amazon and order those two books.
Keith: [crosstalk 00:27:52] the 2013 and 2016 copies.
Marcus: Yeah, make sure it's the latest versions of those books.
Keith: Isn't that terrible? That is terrible. Might even cut that out.
Keith: I used to be a more interesting person [inaudible 00:28:08]. I swear.
Marcus: That's too funny. Well, I mean, if you're in the midst of it then I can completely understand. What do you like to do in your free time?
Keith: Again, I like to hike and I like to drink beer. I'm trying to do less of that because I'm starting to look like I own a brewery.
Keith: You know what I mean?
Keith: I would say I'm trying to find that niche for me here in Mobile. Trying to turn in my hiking shoes and maybe get some boat shoes. Haven't done that yet. Haint Blue's kind of consumed me, so basically most of my time is at home or at the [ice house 00:28:40]. If I had to pick an activity for a day it'd be to hike somewhere beautiful.
Marcus: Get out in some mountains.
Marcus: Yeah. Fortunately we're not too terribly far away from that. All right. Tell us where people can find you, and in your case specifically if they want to try your beer, where are some local places that have it?
Keith: Oh, man. I hope I don't get burned at the stake for this because I'm going to forget [crosstalk 00:29:04].
Marcus: Yeah, just caveat, he's not going to list everybody. He's going to give us, like, three, give us three places.
Keith: Yeah, in no particular order.
Keith: Callaghan's, Old Shell Growlers, Haberdasher, Loda BierGarten, Old 27, Felix's, [inaudible 00:29:23].
Marcus: All right. I'm going to cut him off there.
Keith: I was going to say all of them but I got cut off.
Marcus: [crosstalk 00:29:31]. I don't have time and they're not sponsors of the show.
Marcus: If you'd like to have your name listed on that we'll record them afterwards.
Marcus: If you send us money then we'll add them back into the audio. Anyway, I kid. I understand the complexities of trying to remember the 50 different places where you're probably selling your beer.
Keith: I mean, we have 20 plus accounts throughout Mobile.
Keith: And a handful [crosstalk 00:29:58].
Marcus: Well, I had a chance ... I'll just say this as kind of to wrap up. I had a chance to try your porter at Old 27 the other day. It was fantastic.
Marcus: You're definitely onto something. I'm not an IPA fan. That's why I went the porter route.
Marcus: For those of you that are IPA fans, if it's half as good as the porter was then you won't be disappointed.
Keith: I got a real big plug. Are we out of time? Are we completely out of time?
Marcus: We got a couple minutes, yeah.
Keith: All right. We're about to release ... It's a few weeks out, potentially a month, saison.
Keith: There's a couple of things compelling about that saison. One is part of our supply chain, our [saffron 00:30:38] supplier, so we put [saffron 00:30:40] in this beer. If you're not familiar, [saffron 00:30:42] is the most expensive spice in the world.
Keith: We pay a premium for this particular [saffron 00:30:48] as well. It's sourced from Afghanistan.
Keith: Our supplier's a veteran-owned company. Three engineers that I know of, and there may be some other founders in there, we're just kind of getting aquatinted. They basically saw that there were actually people in Afghanistan trying to grow something other than poppy or opium, which of course goes to the Taliban eventually. They're just trying to make a living.
Keith: What they did was gave them access to world markets. They now have 100 farmers. They're selling at [inaudible 00:31:25] restaurants up and down the East Coast. I think they may have some wholesalers as well. We're going to put it in the beer. We're fighting terrorism with beer right now.
Keith: Which is a [crosstalk 00:31:36].
Marcus: That has got to be the coolest thing ever.
Keith: It's so real too, man. I mean, to be able to tie my past to Haint Blue's future is incredible.
Marcus: That's full circle. Yeah.
Keith: We are. We're going to brew it at the end of this month [crosstalk 00:31:53].
Marcus: I just got goosebumps. That is so cool.
Keith: Yeah, you're the first. You get the scoop on that.
Marcus: Well, we better edit this podcast and get it out quick.
Marcus: Keith, I want to thank you for coming on the podcast. I really appreciate your willingness to sit with us and kind of share your journey.
Marcus: I just wanted to say thank you.
Keith: Yeah. No, thanks, man. Thanks for keeping me relevant. Thanks for inviting me into your space. I appreciate it.

Девојчица () било које је женско људско биће од рођења кроз детињство и адолесценцију до одрастања, када постаје жена. Термин такође може да означава и младу жену. Реч је често коришћена као синоним за ћерку.

Демографија

Мало више дечака се роди него девојчица (у САД однос је око 105 дечака рођених на сваких 100 девојчица), али постији мања шанса да девојчице умру него дечаци, током детињства, тако да однос за испод 15 година варира између 103 и 108 дечака на сваких 100 девојчица.

У Индији је до 2011. било 91 девојчица млађих од 6 година на сваких 100 дечака. Попис из 2011. је показао да однос девојчица према дечацима испод 6 година опао чак и током прошле деценије, са 927 девојчица на сваких 1.000 дечака у 2001. на 918 девојчица на сваких 1000 дечака у 2011. У Кини научници пријављују 794 женске деце на сваких 1.000 мушке деце у руралним срединама. У Азербејџану, према подацима о рођењима протеклих 20 година, испада да су 862 девојчице рођене на сваких 1.000 дечака, просечно годишње. Стивен Мошер, председник Института за истраживање популације у Вашингтону, рекао је: "Двадесет пет милиона људи у Кини тренутно не може да нађе супружника због тога што је тамо недостатак жена [...] млади људи су принуђени да емигрирају да пронађу супружнике". Родни небаланс у овим регионима је окривљен за подстицање пораста комерцијалне трговине сексом; извештај УН-а из 2005. говори да 800.000 људи одведено у бело робље преко граница сваке године, а од тога су чак 80% жене и девојчице.

Научници су нејасни и расправљају око могућих узрока варијација људског пола по рођењу. Девијације у односу полова по рођењу могу да буду због природних узрока. На пример, 2012, европска држава Лихтенштајн је пријавила однос од 1,26 по рођењу (794 девојчице на сваких 1.000 дечака).

Биологија

Девојчице развијају женске карактеристике због наслеђена два -{X}- хромозома (-{XX}-), једног од сваког родитеља.

Око једне у хиљаду девојчица има 47,XXX кариотип, а једна у 2.500 45,X један.

Девојчице типично имају полни систем женски репродуктивни систем. Нека интерполна деца са двоструким гениталијама, и генетички мушка трансродна деца, такође могу бити класификована као девојчице.

Тела девојчица се постепено мењају током пубертета. Пубертет је процес физичких промена којим дететово тело зрели у одрасло тело способно за полно разможавање како би обезбедили оплођење. Инициран је хормонским сигналима из мозга према гонадама. Као одговор на сигнале, гонаде производе хормоне који стимулишу либидо, раст, функцију и трансфорамију мозга, костију, мишића, крви, коже, косе, груди, и полних органа. Физички развој—висина и тежина убразава се у првој половини пубертета и довршен је када је дете развило одрасли организам. До сазревања њихових репродуктивних способности, пре-пубертетске, физичке разлике између дечака и девојчица су гениталије, пенис и вагина. Пубертет је процес који обично наступа између 10-16 година, али то зависи од девојчице до девојчице. Главна оријентир за пубертет девојчица је менарха, почетак менструације, који се дешава у просеку између 12-13 године.

Здравље

Здравље девојчица пати у културама у којима се девојчице мање цене од дечака, а породице највише средстава издвајају за дечаке. Велика претња по здравље девојчица је рани брак, који често доводи до ране трудноће. Девојке које су присиљене на дечји брак често затрудне брзо након удаје, повећавајући ризик од компликација и смртности мајки. Такве компликације које произилазе из трудноће и порођаја у младости су водећи узрок смрти међу тинејџеркама у земљама у развоју. Сакаћење женских гениталија које се практикује у многим деловима света је још један водећи узрок лошег здравља девојчица.

The episodes since the mid-season premier have all been different in terms of structure. "After" focused on Rick, Carl, and Michonne. "Inmates" got us caught up with the rest of the group in small digestible chunks; episodes since then have been a mix of two formats. This episode centers on Carol, Tyrese, and the children. The group plays house, but don't let their comfortable living situation fool you.
Carol struggles to impart her wisdom to Mika and Lizzie, it's about succeeding where she failed to protect her own daughter. Unfortunately the story ends with a similar tragedy. Lizzie murders Mika, in an attempt to prove her point that walkers aren't all bad but misunderstood. Tyrese and Carol determine that Lizzie is too far gone. Carol puts her down Old Yeller style, which reminds her of the decision to kill both Karen and David, so she confesses to Tyrese.
The confession sequence was done really it was tense, Carol at this point thinks of herself to be like Lizzie and offers Tyrese the choice to kill her. As he grabs the gun pieces of an unfinished puzzle are staged into the shot as we see the bigger picture.
He chooses to forgive her, but chooses not to forget the incident. Tyrese's story is all about the past. The memory of Karen literally haunts his dreams; he's even convinced the living are doomed to be haunted by the dead. Coping with the loss of the prison, he suggests not going to Terminus at least right away since he trusts the group he's with now versus having to trust people again.
The big moment people will be talking about is the death of Mika and Lizzie. Despite the sisters being on polar opposite neither seems fit for survival. Mika doesn't want their circumstances to change her into a mean person whereas Lizzie goes further off the deep. Believing that actually being a walker would allow her to adapt to this new world. Carol sees so much of Sophia in Mika, citing that both girls don't have a mean bone in their body. Although that's normally a great character trait to possess, in the zombie apocalypse it's a liability. Lizzie shows promise, but also proves how disconnected from reality after referring to a walker as her best friend. In a final act to prove her point she murders Mika.
The signs were there the whole time, and Carol herself says she should have seen it. Mika points out that the smoke they see would turn white if the fire stopped burning, which confirms the decision to put out the fire or in this case Lizzie. Carol sees the same deer Mika couldn't kill shortly afterwards reinforcing the theme that everything worked out the way it should.
It was interesting to see Carol process another tough decision since we don't see that when she killed Karen and David. During the confrontation, Lizzie is more concerned about apologizing for pointing her gun at Carol than showing any remorse for what she did to Mika. I for one would be fascinated to hear Rick's thoughts on this one if/when he finds out.
Similar to Tyrese's predicament The Grove won't be forgotten any time soon, but it is a perfect example of what episodes should be like after the group got scattered. The episodes should focus on the core groups by doing so it elevates the emphasis on the separation while still taking it's time with the aftermath of losing the prison.
We'll be back next week with the next episode of The Walking Dead "Us".
Tell us what you thought of the episode in the comments below. Judith came close to the chopping block, do you think she will make it past season five? Did you expect to lose both sisters in this bleak episode? Do you think Lizzie could have come back to her senses with more time? Who do you think started the fire (don't say Billy Joel)?
And don't forget to check out the Walking Dead Board Game Kickstarter that we covered earlier!

As Kanu's whereabouts sink into deeper controversy
ADELANI ADEPEGBA writes on the political maneouverings behind the disappearance of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu
Eleven months after the home of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, was raided by the military in Umuahia, Abia State, the whereabouts of the Biafran agitator, whose word was law among his followers, are still shrouded in controversy.

Curiously, the military had refused to open up on the incident which critics see as blight on their epaulettes. The Federal Government, on its part, has been carrying on as if Kanu's disappearance has put an end to the IPOB's clamour. Perhaps, it had hoped that the absence of the leader would douse the seething magma of anger in Igbo land. Recent events have, however, shown that the seeming official conspiratorial silence on Kanu's whereabouts is a blunder President Muhammadu Buhari administration cannot live with. It is obvious that the reported ongoing execution of 69 projects in the region cannot assuage the hunger for Biafra.
Kanu literally held the South-East by the jugular while exploiting his influence over Igbo youths like a lion in the jungle. Anytime he roared, which was often, the markets and by extension the economy of the region were shut down by his followers many of whom displayed gross obsequious loyalty going as far as kissing his feet.
The political activist had developed such a cult following which made the five eastern governors uncomfortable. Citing security concerns, the South-East Governors Forum, led by Governor Dave Umahi of Ebonyi State, announced the proscription of IPOB in September 2017 and banned its activities in all the states of the region. The governors' decision to ban IPOB, analysts said, was aimed at placating the Buhari administration, which was feeling the heat of the agitation for the creation of a Biafran Republic.
The governors also pleaded with the FG to withdraw troops who were carrying out 'Operation Python Dance II', targeted at crippling IPOB, which was almost becoming a political hegemony in the region. Observers described the military raid on Kanu's house as the coup de grace that paralysed IPOB's activities.
Throughout the period of his detention in Kuje prisons, Abuja, Kanu remained defiant, buoyed by the massive support he enjoyed from his followers who thronged the court every time his case came up. When he was granted bail with tough conditions by Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court in April 2017, prominent Igbo leaders, who perceived Kanu as a strong political pillar, did not fail to see the opportunity in identifying with him. A Jewish high priest, Emmanuel Madu, together with Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe and Tochukwu Uchendu, quickly put themselves forward and posted a N300m bond for Kanu's freedom while his co-accused — Bright Chimezie; National Coordinator of IPOB, Chidiebere Onwudiwe; an IPOB member, Benjamin Madubugwu; and a former field maintenance engineer seconded to MTN, David Nwawuisi — were allowed to stew in prison for additional 14 months before they were released on bail in June this year. Interestingly, the sureties are presently contesting plans by the government to forfeit their bond. Also, Abaribe, who represents Abia South Senatorial District in the National Assembly, has applied to the court to discharge him from the suretyship and bail bond of the IPOB leader.
A former aviation minister, Chidoka Osita, drove the IPOB leader from the prison after his bail in what many believe was a move by the former United Progressives Party governorship candidate in Anambra State to ingratiate himself with Biafran agitators in expectation of a possible boost to his political career. But Osita defended his action, saying he was only serving as a bridge between Ndigbo and Nigeria.
He had said, "He (Kanu) got a bail from a court. I then participated in ensuring that the bridge of communication between the angry young people in the South-East and the rest of the country was a burden I believed I bore as a young minister.

"As a young former Chief Executive of the Federal Road Safety Corps, I believe I serve as a beautiful bridge. I serve as that bridge that connects the dreams of Nigeria with the people of Ndigbo."
Since Kanu deserted the struggle for the actualisation of a Biafran homeland, his supporters have had to contend with arrests and attacks by security forces. The latest was the detention of over 100 IPOB women by the police for barricading the road in protest against the disappearance of their leader. About 112 of them were subsequently arraigned and remanded by a magistrate court in Owerri, the Imo State capital.
Sensing an opportunity to flow with the popular will and perhaps worm his way into the people's hearts, Imo governorship aspirant, Sam Amadi, reportedly led the crusade for the freedom of the detainees. The case against them was also struck out, Amadi told journalists.
Checks showed that before now, Amadi, an activist, was not known as an IPOB sympathiser or supporter. The question many had asked is, what inspired the new love for IPOB? Some contended that the answer might be found in the race for the forthcoming governorship election in Imo State in which the former chairman of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission is a contestant.
Strangely enough, the IPOB legal team did not allow Amadi to reap the expected goodwill from his sudden support for the organisation. Amadi was still revelling in the success of his intervention in the release of the women when the IPOB general counsel, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, disclaimed him in a statement. He was described as an impostor. He said Amadi could not be credited with the release of the women, warning that he should not, "under any guise, drag the name of IPOB into his political adventure."
The IPOB lawyer added, "Sam Amadi is unknown to the IPOB legal team and has never, at any time, appeared in this case under reference, either as a lawyer or sympathiser.
"Let Mr. Amadi direct his resources toward his political exploits and should not, under any guise, drag the name of IPOB into his political adventure. We are always circumspect of these characters. I had noticed he was busy sharing this falsehood in his Facebook page."
Undeterred by several punitive actions against its members, IPOB has asked residents to stay at home on September 14, 2018. Previous stay-at-home orders were fairly successful as traders and other individuals did not open their business for fear of attack by Igbo irredentists, especially the Biafran agitators.
The Media and Publicity Secretary of IPOB, Emma Powerful, said the protest is "a way to register our anger regarding the men and women killed at Afaraukwu in Umuahia, during Operation Python Dance II on September 14 last year and those killed in Ngwa, Aba, Igweocha (Port Harcourt) and buried in unmarked mass graves as a result of unprovoked military invasion of Biafraland by the Nigerian Army." The group rejected another Operation Python Dance being planned by the Nigerian Army.
Commenting on the failure of the Federal Government to ascertain the truth about Kanu's disappearance, the Convener, Coalition in Defence of Democracy and Constitution, Ariyo Atoye, said the incident was an indictment of the nation's security agencies, adding that the failure of government to probe the issue was unacceptable.
Atoye stated, "The disappearance could be described as an indictment of our security apparatus. The reason being that there was an ongoing court process, the court was seized of everything concerning Kanu. However, what the military did with Operation Python Dance was an aberration.

Kanu's lawyer, Mr. Ifeanyi Ejiofor, also insisted that the Nigerian military was in a better position to explain the whereabouts of the missing leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra.
Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court in Abuja, before whom Kanu and others are being prosecuted on treasonable felony charges, had ruled in a judgment she delivered in January 2018 in respect of a civil suit filed by Ejiofor, that there was no evidence showing that the missing IPOB leader was in the custody of the Army.
But Ejiofor, in an interview with SUNDAY PUNCH maintained that the Nigerian military was in a better position to produce Kanu dead or alive.
The lawyer said, "The question of Nnamdi Kanu's whereabouts should be directed at the military.
"I have always maintained that the Federal Government and the military are in a better position to explain his whereabouts.
"This month makes it a year that the military invaded his home and since then he has not been found. So they should produce him dead or alive."
The apex socio-political body of the Igbo, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, believes that only the Federal Government knows the truth concerning the whereabouts of the IPOB leader.
Another pan-Igbo association, the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra, shares the same view with Ohanaeze.
The two groups spoke in separate interviews with SUNDAY PUNCH on Friday.
The Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Mr. Chuks Ibegbu, told SUNDAY PUNCH that the Nigerian troops, who had the last encounter with Kanu when they invaded his father's compound, should tell Nigerians what happened to the IPOB leader.
Speaking with one of our correspondents, Ibegbu said, "There is a term known as the doctrine of last encounter, which said that those that had the last encounter with a missing person are more likely to know what happened to that person.
"Kanu's last encounter was with the Nigerian Army when they attacked his family house in Umuahia. Since that encounter, he has not been seen, and nothing has been heard about him.
"Those that had that last encounter with him should tell Nigerians where he is –they should do so quickly because people are no longer comfortable with the silence.
"The Federal Government, which sent the army on the mission, should tell Nigerians what happened to Kanu.
"It is not for Ohanaeze to say where Kanu is or what happened to him. It is left for the Federal Government, the army – the people who had the last encounter with him – to tell us what happened to him, whether he is dead or alive."
Also, the National Director of Information, MASSOB, Comrade Samuel Edeson, said the Federal Government was solely responsible for Kanu's disappearance. Edeson alleged that the IPOB leader was being held captive in a secret location by the army.
He said, "The case of Nnamdi Kanu is a very difficult one but only the Federal Government can give us information about him because they sent soldiers after him through Operation Python Dance.
"I believe he (Kanu) is still alive, I believe they are holding him in a secret location. The Federal Government should be held accountable for the disappearance of Nnamdi Kanu. Had it been that they are not with him, they would have been disturbing other members of IPOB.

"If they (Federal Government) claim that they don't know where he is, then they should explain why they went after him even when there is a pending case in court and he has been attending trial.
"The Federal Government thought that by holding him, they will stop the Biafran agitation but what they don't know is that it is not about Nnamdi Kanu; there are many others out there who are even ready to do more than what the IPOB leader had done."
A retired Director, Department of State Services, Mike Ejiofor, observed that the government should have held a dialogue with Igbo leaders on the IPOB agitation, noting that driving Kanu underground would not resolve the issue.
Ejiofor, a lawyer stated, "I believe Kanu is alive; he is not dead. He has gone underground but if government thinks that is the best way to handle it, it's unfortunate because when you push an organisation underground, it becomes more dangerous.
"I felt the government should have looked for a way to engage the leaders of IPOB in a dialogue; but as it is now, nobody knows his whereabouts – whether he is alive or dead.
"I believe he is alive and as we approach elections, it is not unlikely that his followers and their activities would be reactivated and that would create a major problem for the government,"
The security expert maintained that the IPOB agitation could not be swept under the carpet, stressing that only a meaningful dialogue could address it.
Appraising the long silence over Kanu's disappearance, a civil society coalition, #OurMumuDonDo, argued that what happened to the IPOB leader was consistent with the philosophy of Buhari that national interest superseded human rights and rule of law.

The National Secretary of the coalition, Ralph Adebayo, added that the treatment meted out to Kanu was not different from what journalists, activists and critics of the government had suffered in recent times.
Adebayo added, "The fundamental thing we must address is that the silent group would always be victims of an unjust system. The people who should be speaking up for Kanu are rather too silent.

Q: how do I configure dhclient for comcast /64 prefix? I did have everything working, but when I updated my router to a supported version of ubuntu, it broke (Ubuntu 14.4)
Where things go wrong is dhclient never grabs a /64.  It either gabs the IP for my external interface or it tries to gab the /64 on the internal interface.
I think the problem is in /etc/dhcp/dhclient6.conf
interface "eth2" {
send dhcp6.ia-pd 1;
script "/etc/dhclient-exit-hooks";
}

eth2 is my external interface, I have my exit hooks set to config eth0.  I do have NetworkManager mange set to true
If I run
dhclient -6 -P eth2

it gives me my prefix, but it doesn't add the address to eth0
