Home CSR Community Engagement A Suggested Low-Cost Poverty Eradication Program for Rural Areas in Nigeria
A Suggested Low-Cost Poverty Eradication Program for Rural Areas in Nigeria
By Toyin Oyewole
Nigeria presently has the sad distinction of being the country with the largest number of people living below poverty level. The low-cost program set out below could help lift a significant number of our rural poor out of poverty. And given that over 60% of the country's population lives in the rural areas, a reduction in rural poverty, would shift the poverty dial for the country as a whole.
With farming being the major occupation of over 60% of our rural population, the intervention would be seeking to increase agricultural productivity. It would involve state governments encouraging young professionals, retiring public service officers and other interested individuals to go back to their villages as community mobilizers, who would get the farmers there to form cooperatives that would buy fairly used trucks (if need be, on hire purchase) and adopt a policy of trucking the bulk of their produce directly to markets in their state capital, or to Lagos or Abuja, as against selling them to middlemen.
A kilogram of produce that the middle men would have bought for about N100 in the village could easily sell for N300 when sold directly to the end consumer in Lagos, Abuja or their state capital. When aggregated, that differential would come to a substantial amount, a significant part of which should be dedicated to a community development fund that would be used to undertake various community development projects that would transform the community.
The development fund could be used to finance empowerment projects such as the following:
• Send young people in the community to the Songhai Center in Benin Republic http://www.songhai.org/index.php/en/ for training as Agric extension officers, who would bring farmers in the village up to date with modern farming techniques
• Acquire community owned small farming machinery of different types to reduce the drudgery of farm labour, make it attractive to youth and help correct the aging population of our farmers
• Undertake bulk purchase of fertilizer, hybrid seeds and other farm inputs for onward sale to members.
• Acquire mini drip irrigation kits for onwards sale to farmer. This would enable our rural farmers undertake year-round farming; cultivation is presently limited to about 7 month (March – September) across most of the country. Repayment for these could be spread over a 24 month period. These are all aimed at increasing farm productivity and bringing even more funds into the coffers of the cooperative.
In addition to the farming interventions above, the development fund would be deployed to execute infrastructural and social projects like the following:
• Construction of solar powered boreholes to bring safe drinking water to the people and the implementation of a WASH program; medical health statistics in the country show that over 60% of the outpatient cases in our hospitals pertain to malaria and preventable sanitation related diseases.
• Construction and staffing of a rudimentary health centre to provide basic primary health care to the people.
• Acquisition and sale of bicycles to cooperative members on credit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_poverty_reduction; to provide their families with basic mobility. • Acquisition and sale of small solar powered light and other products to cooperative members on credit https://www.lightingafrica.org/about/ these bring about marked improvements in the home life of the parents and children.
• Undertake labour intensive road construction projects to improve access to market for their farm products.
• Undertake labour intensive water basin management projects to check soil erosion and harvest run off rain water.
• Refurbishment/construction of primary school where the teachers are provided proper training and undertake to ensure that the pupils achieve clear learning outcomes at every stage of the academic journey, and that all graduating pupils gain admission into Federal government unity schools or other top quality secondary schools around the country with affordable fees.
• Set up simple agro processing operations to add value to their produce and provide off farm employment for youths in the community. In some cases, this could also help reduce post-harvest wastage, which can sometimes be quite significant.
The above list can go on and on, once the funds keep coming in.
This is similar to the pattern of the Marketing Boards that the Regional governments used in funding the development accomplished during the first republic, and which can be used to fund the development that we desire and need across the country today, but which the state and federal governments do not presently have the wherewithal to finance with the crash in international crude oil prices and by extension, government revenues.

The act of choosing two typefaces is probably the first (and often most difficult) task you do when creating a new design. Many people get stuck here, myself included.
Recently, I discovered a simple method to pair typefaces effectively and I'd love to share them with you. (Hint: it's a 3×3 grid).
There's one prerequisite to use this 3×3 grid (which I will reveal shortly) – knowing how to categorize typefaces. So, let's start there.
You can split typefaces into the first three categories by looking at the style of the serif.
If the typeface contains no serifs, they fall into the sans-serif category. (sans means without). Examples of sans-serif typefaces include Helvetica and Gill sans.
Helvetica doesn't contain any serifs.
If the typeface contains serifs that look blocky, they fall under the slab-serif category. (slab means a large thick block). Slab-serifs are also called Egyptians even though there's no relationship between the serifs and Egyptian writing. Examples of slab-serifs include Archer and Museo Slab.
Museo Slab has blocky serifs.
Any other typeface that contains serifs fall under the serifs category. Examples include Garamond and Georgia.
Garamond has serifs, but they're not blocky.
Monospace typefaces are no strangers to us developers. They're typefaces whose characters occupy the same amount of horizontal space. They're often used in tabular data and code. Examples include Menlo and Monaco.
Each letter in Menlo takes up the same amount of space.
Script (or cursive) typefaces are often calligraphic in nature. They're often used for short headlines, invitations and expressive text. Examples include Dancing Script and Lobster.
Dancing Script is a script typeface.
Finally, display typefaces are typefaces that are only used for large headlines. Many display typefaces are serif and sans-serif versions that are specially tweaked to look good at large sizes. Display typefaces also include ornamentals and decoratives, which can come in all sorts of form and styles. Examples include Freight Display and Abril Fatface.
Freight Display is a display typeface.
Now you know how to classify typefaces into six major categories, which is great! Unfortunately, these major categories are too broad.
To pair typefaces effectively, we often have to drill in deeper into the subcategories. We're only going to look at sans-serifs, serifs and slab-serifs as we drill deeper since most typeface choices are made there.
Things begin to get confusing when you begin to subcategorize. There's a lot of subcategories, including but not limited to humanist, neo-humanist, old style, grotesque, neo-grotesque, transitional, geometric and modern.
Remembering the names of these subcategories, differentiating between them and correctly placing typefaces in them are three major challenges people face, myself included. After much research, I noticed you can group these subcategories into a simple 3×3 grid.
For the first two properties, it's often enough to look at letters e and o. The third one is a layman term I came up with 😂.
Pay careful attention to the shape of the letters, especially of the letters e and o. Do they look like circles or squares? If they do, we can immediately classify the typeface as a geometric typeface.
Geometric typefaces contain letterforms that are based off shapes. They look constructed as opposed to handwritten. Because of they seem constructed, they also give off a modern, cool and impersonal vibe.
Next, we look at the stroke.
The stroke of a typeface is lines that make it up. Pay attention to these lines. Do they vary in size between different parts of the letters?
When we look at the stroke of a typeface, we're only interested to use it to categorize serifs. This is because it's rare for sans-serif and slab-serifs to exhibit any difference in the stroke.
If there's little stroke contrast (little difference between thinnest and thickest part), we can categorize the typeface as an old-style serif.
Old-style serifs are serifs that the oldest readable typefaces (according to our current standards. Blackletter comes before it, which is hardly readable now). They mimic handwriting and are thus calligraphic in nature, which causes their letters to tilt more (more on tilt later). Since they mimic handwriting, they're often seen as real, empathetic and traditional. They are also known as humanist serifs.
On the other hand, if there's huge stroke contrast, we can categorize the typeface as a Modern serif.
Modern serifs are deliberately constructed to stand out. Their letterforms often stand upright with zero tilt, which makes them cool and impersonal, like Geometric typefaces. They are also known as rational serifs and didones.
Finally, what lies between modern serifs and old-style serifs are transitional serifs. Their stroke contrast is distinguishably larger than old-style serifs, but not as much as modern ones.
See the difference in strokes in these three typefaces?
Lets move on to the tilt.
If you draw a line through the thinnest points of the stroke, you'll see the stress of the letters.
If you paid attention so far, you'll notice that stress can only be used to distinguish serif subcategories because you need to draw a line through the thinnest parts of the letterforms.
Although it may seem pointless to look at stress since we already have sorted serifs into their respective categories, I found it helpful to distinguish between sans-serif humanist and grotesque typefaces.
Letterforms with a diagonal stress (like old-style serifs) looks like they're tilted at an angle. Since they're tilted, they mimic letters that are created by hand. (We don't hold the pen perfectly upright, do we?).
Although the letters o and e can't tell us if there's any stress, we can look at other letters, especially those with shoulders, like h, m and n. If any of these shoulders looks as if they're tilted (or if there's any stress), we can categorize the typeface as a humanist typeface.
An example of a humanist sans-serif typeface that exhibits this behavior is Lucida Sans.
On the other hand, if the letters look like they're upright, we can categorize them as grotesque typefaces. As you may imagine, grotesque typefaces fall between humanist and geometric typefaces.
Just to add to your typography vocabulary, grotesque typefaces are also called grotesk or gothic, depending on the language. So, if you see these names on a typeface, you'll know immediately which category these fall under.
And with that, we're done with categorizing typefaces into their respective categories and subcategories.
Before we move onto the next section, I want to highlight that typeface classification is highly subjective. Everyone classifies typefaces differently so you just have to decide for yourself. Some typefaces can fall into multiple subcategories too. An example is Proxima Nova, which can fall into all three sans-serif subcategories at the same time.
If you follow the first rule, you automatically create contrast with your two typefaces, which is a good thing. I explain why contrast is so important in my typography course, Mastering Responsive Typography.
Today, you learned how to categorizes into six major subcategories and their respective subcategories. You also learned a technique to pairing (the 3×3 grid).
Now go play around with the technique and let me know your thoughts in the comments!

I arrived at the helo (helicopter) pad at 8:15 am for a 9:00 am flight. I, and all my gear, was weighed and I was issued a helmet. The other five passengers and I were all briefed on helicopter safety and procedures. We were airborne right on time. What a magnificent view! The Ross Ice Shelf extended for miles into the distance. As we approached the ice/sea zone, huge icebergs were seen imbedded in the ice shelf. They reminded me of an abominable snowman trying to march through the ice.
We flew over the jagged peaks of the mountain range and entered into the valley. The barren U-shaped valleys which had been scoured by previous glaciers were splattered with large boulders which have tumbled off the cliff edges. This entire area has been pulverized by glaciers in the past, the loose tallus sits precariously on the cliff edges - just waiting for a trigger to set gravity in motion.
Entering from the edges of the cliffs are valley glaciers that ooze into the lower elevations. We are calling the edge of the Canada Glacier and Lake Hoare home for the next several days. My tent is set at the crest of a sediment mound right in front of the glacier! I can hear the ice creaking and popping as the glacier moves. The front wall of the glacier is riddled with large gaps, like vertical crevasses. It seems as though the glacier could speak to us through those cracks!
We got right to work. Cables on one of the monitoring stations had frozen into the ice during the winter season; these cables needed to be set free. Peter, Phil, and Roman had drilled a hole through the 4 meters of ice and sunk a "hot finger" into the hole to start melting the ice that had the cables bound. A "hot finger" is a metal coil that is attached to two hoses that are attached to a heater; which is powered by a generator. The hot finger system is filled with glycol. The heater warms the glycol and sends it down the tube to the hot finger. The glycol then circulates through the hot finger and returns to the heater to be re-heated. Any ice touching the warm hose or the hot finger will melt. This system, therefore, can be used to free the frozen cables from their ice shackle!
While the heater worked on freeing the cables, we went to two other monitoring sites to retrieve data from their storage banks and import the data into the computer. These monitoring stations are recording water temperature and pressure at several different levels in the lake.
We also went to measure the ablation rate at several different sites. Lake ice is ablated, or removed, from the surface of the ice. It is ablated by wind and solar energy. As the surface gets removed, the lower levels freeze. This process brings material from the bottom of the lake ice towards the surface. Peter has inserted poles into the lake ice. Each year, the amount of exposed pole is measured which correlates to the ablation rate at that location.
Ablation also accounts for the rugged lake surface. Wind blows sediments onto the lake. The sun warms the sediments which then melt the surrounding ice, causing the sediment to sink in deeper. The process also happens with snow blowing onto parts of the lake. This differential in melting rates causes the surface of the lake to become chiseled into amazing ice sculptures. We got our measurements and headed back to camp.
Peter and Phil went back out to the melting hole to drop in an underwater camera and view how the melting was going. It was during this "check" that Peter realized the buoy which had the cables attached to it seems to have shifted it's location. One possible explanation for this is that the ice has moved. This lead to an evening of contemplating the possibilities and making a plan to test the possibility. Science is a never ending pursuit of understanding the world around us; it's exciting to be part of the process as it unfolds! Still having the time of my life!

* Eat breakfast: Having breakfast helps you stay alert and keeps you productive throughout the morning. While eating something for breakfast is better than having no breakfast at all, aim to include a good source of protein. Protein sources include yogurt, low fat cheese, eggs, or even something unconventional such as last night's leftover chicken! For peak performance also include a good source of protein for lunch and dinner too.

* Watch the caffeine: Having that cup of coffee in the morning can improve your reaction time, give you a burst of energy and help your concentration as well. Unfortunately, more coffee does not result in more energy or better concentration.

protein rich food with a nutritious source of carbohydrate. A piece of fresh fruit with a low-fat cheese stick or raw vegetables with hummus provide carbohydrate, fiber and protein.
* Bring the right foods home: It's much easier to avoid empty calorie foods if you don't have them in plain sight calling your name! Keep a variety of healthy snacks that you like at home and ditch the foods that have little to offer by way of nutrition. If you don't have sugary or salty snack foods around, you won't have to eat them. Fruits, raw vegetables, yogurt, low fat cheeses, and nuts are just a few examples of things to have on hand.
Make healthy eating a part of your busy lifestyle and stress management plan. Work in these healthy habits on a regular basis and your body will feel the difference!

Emma Pollock - In Search Of Harperfield - Digital Album (2016)
Original UK Release Date: 29th January 2016. Entire Album Download With Cover Art - 11 Tracks (320K bit rate; 104MB)
Cannot Keep A Secret
Don't Make Me Wait
Vacant Stare
In The Company of the Damned
Monster In The Pack
A mere five and a half years after the angular splendidness of her Chemikal solo debut 'The Law of Large Numbers', Emma's finally delivered, not only its follow-up, but an album that's up there with the very best in our catalogue. Clocking in at just under 45 minutes, the eleven tracks making up 'In Search of Harperfield' showcase Emma's songwriting at its richly lyrical best.
From the string-drenched grandeur of 'Intermission' and 'Dark Skies', through the leftfield pop of 'Parks and Recreation' and 'Vacant Stare' to the complex, dark flamboyance of 'Old Ghosts' and 'Monster In The Pack' (replete with RM Hubbert cameo) 'In Search of Harperfield' effortlessly scales the peaks of her tenure with The Delgados while recalling the eccentric flair of Kate Bush, the intricate melodicism of Sandy Denny and, in Old Ghosts, the wistful melancholy of Dusty Springfield. Yes, it's that good.
Five and a half years is a long time in anyone's book; that such a special album has finally materialised out of the gloaming should give us all cause for celebration.
Five and a half years though, man alive...

Giles' guest took his time in the shower and Giles was grateful for it. He needed a breather to clear his mind and get a handle on his libido. While Ash was as far from Giles' type intellectually, the Watcher hadn't been so captivated by someone since Ethan. It was the physicality of the man. He'd always had a soft spot for large, dark eyes with hair to match. It was Giles' kryptonite, as Xander might say.
He'd fared quite well with the meager cleaning supplies he had in the kitchen. He thought it would be enough to get him through dinner at the very least. He threw on his chores shirt, the one he used for painting and miscellaneous tasks around the flat, and tossed on a pair of joggers. He discretely slipped into the bathroom and placed his most comfortable robe and set of pajamas upon the toilet for his guest, catching a guilty glimpse of Ash's hazy figure through the steamed shower curtain. He was sure the comfortable choice would be appreciated, regardless of whether Ash voiced it or not.
The shower cut off just as the pizza arrived. Giles arranged to have the meal at the kitchen counter, setting up plates and a buffet of additional toppings Xander always liked for personalizing his pizza. The door to the bathroom swung open and Ash made a steamy entrance, barefooted and looking quite relaxed in Giles' burgundy robe. Free of the demon gore, the thick, mahogany curls atop his head were chaotic, giving him a youthful appearance. The robe fit handsomely along his broad shoulders but hung a touch long, evidence of their height difference.
"Did you find everything you needed?" Giles asked, waving Ash to join him at the counter.
"Yeah." Ash raked his fingers through his hair and took a seat on a stool. "You sure have a lot of frilly stuff for a guy."
"Yes, well, all in the line of duty, I assure you. I play host to Buffy's friends, upon occasion. They tend to leave necessities behind for future use."
"It was a gift from one of them."
"Why does it have fangs?"
"It was more of a gag gift." He served Ash a slice. "I hope you like pepperoni."
"Well, you can never be certain."
"What's this stuff, chocolate milk?" Ash gestured to the glass Giles placed near him.
Giles smirked. "Not quite. That would be the beer you requested."
"No, proper beer. That was the deal, was it not?"
"Yeah, but this isn't beer. Beer looks like piss and comes in a can."
"It's ghastly what horrible torture you've had to endure, my friend." Giles smiled. "Just give it a taste. You might like it." He sipped his own to ensure his companion it was safe for consumption. Ash took a speculative sip and nodded his satisfaction.
"So glad." Giles took a bite of his slice and watched as Ash followed his lead. They ate in silence for a few moments.
"What do you think?" Giles asked.
"About what?" Ash raised a brow.
"Does the pizza meet with your approval?"
"Anything's better than crap I've been choking down for the last month." Ash took another bite and glanced up to see Giles watching him. "It's good. Thanks."
"You're welcome." Giles took a swig of beer to wash down the pizza. "Oh, I nearly forgot. I have what I've been told is the worlds most comprehensive first aid kit in the bathroom. I hadn't noticed if you needed any…"
"Yes, you seemed to have managed quite well so far, all things considered."
"I suppose so, save the swinging. Why do you ask?"
Ash thought for a moment and answered unconvincingly, "Just wondering if I should expect anyone else like your high school buddies or girlfriend or something."
"Um, no, I'm not expecting anyone." Was that a hint, Giles wondered.
"You're not from around here," it was more of a question than a statement.
"How good of you to notice." Giles smiled, dismissing the annoying comment. His guest was simply trying to carry on a polite conversation.
" England or something, right?"
"Yes." He nodded and took another bite of pizza.
"From time to time. I find it's best to keep busy. You?"
"Yeah. Miss Thursday nights at the bowling alley. Friday's at the bar. Sunday's with Mom."
"And your girlfriend, I'm sure?" Giles probed and saw sadness cross Ash's features. 'Oh, bloody good show,' Giles cursed himself. "She was with you, wasn't she?"
"Yeah." He lifted the slice to his mouth then dropped it, watching it slap unappetizingly to the plate and shoved away.
"Ash, I don't wish to pry but I may be able to help if you could tell me what happened to you, specifically your interactions with the Necronomicon."
"What's to know?" He grumbled and could see Giles wasn't about to accept such a vague response. "Me and Linda took a weekend trip to go camping in the woods. Place was empty except for an old reel to reel recorder. Got me curious so I gave it a listen. Didn't understand a word. Whatever it was, it was bad. Made her bad." He gulped down the details. "Got interrupted by a group of strangers who saw the blood and thought I was the killer. A dozen knuckle sandwiches and a kick to the kisser later, the bad comes back for a second helping and then a third. You get the picture. Then this brainy broad gets wise to the book, reads a passage from it and gets a knife in the back for her trouble. Then yours truly gets swallowed up by a big ol' vortex and spit out into a reject Camelot where the fun continues."
"And the others at the cabin?"
"Dead, every last one. Those things killed them, or... or I did."
"You did what you had to do."
"What do you know about it?" Ash challenged defensively.
In seeing Giles sober expression, Ash responded regretfully, "Maybe I would."
"Yeah, well... your sorry won't bring them back, will it? So save the tears for your gal pal."
"You lost someone you cared about in a cruel, inhuman way, Ash. It would do you well to talk about it."
"I don't go for all that touchy, feely mumbo-jumbo. All's I need is a way to get home."
"I might be able to help with that. But I need to know what happened. I need to know the details."
And so the details came. Ash was pitilessly with crude words spoken through clenched teeth. The tale was told without embellishment or justification, just cold, hard facts, every one more agonizing than the next. Death, decapitation, self mutilation, demon possession, and unbelievable mental torture. He'd survived far more than Giles thought humanly possible. And as Ash described the torturous night, Giles found himself impressed by the unfathomable strength the young man had. It was no wonder he was as crusty as he was, being a matter of necessity to deal with the tragedy forced on him. When Ash had finished his tale, he sat back in the chair, visibly shaken and fatigued.
"Thank you. I know how hard that must have been for you, telling me."
"Sure it isn't all peaches and cream to heard, either." Ash eyed his abandoned pizza slice then pulled it near and picked off the pepperoni, slowly regaining his appetite.
"Quite but I'm familiar with such occurrences. First hand, I'm afraid. Odd bit of good fortune, you running into me."
"Sure, I'm all kinds of lucky."
"That remains to be seen," Giles mumbled under his breath. "Point is, I have the book you're searching for."
"The Necronomicon, I have it. Actually, it's a reproduction but it should be enough to get you home."
"Why do you have the book? You evil or something?"
"That's a matter of opinion," Giles chuckled. "Actually, it's required reading at the academy, a rather infamous text not to be taken lightly."
"Academy? You mean with your watching thing?"
"The Watchers Council, that's correct. The original manuscript was destroyed ages ago, deemed far too dangerous for continued existence."
"But this second edition of yours will get me home?"
"Only if we can deduce what went wrong with your previous attempts to return home. If memory recalls, it required a spell to be performed on consecrated grounds, of which Sunnydale has in abundance."
"Cemeteries should serve that purpose well."
"Ah, holy ground. Got ya."
"There's a potion involved, isn't there? Willow and I should be able to manage that."
"If you could make it not taste like puke, that'd be groovy."
"Then I believe it's simply a matter of reciting the required passage, correct?"
"Um, yeah... that sounds kinda... kinda familiar." He glanced away, suddenly uncomfortable.
"So what precisely went wrong the last time?" Giles sipped his beer.
"Well, something didn't go as planned. Did you get interrupted?"
"Failed to perform the spell on consecrated ground?"
"Was the potion mixed incorrectly?"
"It was the words, okay?" Ash shouted in frustration. "I messed up. I'm not so good with words and I messed them up. Why do they have to be so perfect anyway? I mean, no one knows the words to anything anymore. Hell, I don't even know the Pledge of Allegiance or the words to the Twelve Days of Christmas. There should be a grading curve for that thing. It just not fair."
Giles couldn't help but smirk.
"What's so funny, English? You laughing at me?"
"No, not at all." Giles smiled. "It just so happens I'm rather good with words... translation, I mean. It's what I do. My friends often refer to me as the Book-guy."
"You mean you can say the words to get me home?"
"No. I'm afraid the passage must be spoken by you. I'm saying I can teach you."
Ash heaved a sigh. "Look, truth is I'm a drop out, bub. Totally flunked out of English."
"Then we're rather fortunate the passage isn't written in English, aren't we?" Giles suggested. "Listen, there are two sorts of people in this world, those who find comfort in words and those who find comfort in action. It's quite obvious to me that action's more to your tastes."
"How about you?" Ash asked. "Which type are you?"
Giles offered a sly smirk. "Let's just say I go both ways."
Ash chuckled and then went quiet, staring curiously at his host. "Then I guess I am lucky." He concluded with a grin that sent a rush of heat pulsing through Giles.
The Watcher took up his glass and chugged the remains of his beer, trying to cool down. "Yes, well, I think the both of us could use a good nights rest. We'll begin in the morning."
"Morning, right." Ash finished off his beer and gave the glass a wiggle. "But first, you got any more of this stuff?"

GiAnts is a single-player Indie adventure released on May 20th, 2016, from Wreck Tangle Games, which offers partial Steam controller support and Steam achievements. It's an ant simulator and first-person platformer in which players take the role of Adam, a fledgling male ant who has been mistaken for a female member of his brood and thus sentenced to a life of collecting food for the nest. This means that Adam must navigate through numerous levels full of extremely persistent enemies and huge obstacles in search of candy, utilizing all of his ant skills to survive and bring home the goods. But what does the miniature world of an ant offer for players?
Adam's world is fraught with danger, from the swift flies and spiders in the first environment – the garden outside – to increasingly nasty, tenacious monsters as his exploration continues. By the time I reached the second level, an office space full of speedy rats and even more determined wasps, I had a healthy respect for the opponents that Adam's ant colony must face in order to feed everyone leftover candy dropped by humans. One of my favorite things about GiAnt is that some of the puzzles to obtain a piece of candy require the player to use the environment around them rather than just jumping from platform to platform; don't get me wrong, there's plenty of jumping to be had in this world, and Adam has an adorable voice-over jumping sound, but I'm always glad to see an Indie game reach beyond those challenges.
Trekking into the kitchen of the house attached to the garden in the first level made me nostalgic for the original Half-Life title, and one of the player-made Deathmatch maps called "Rats!" that took the opponents into an oversized kitchen full of tiny traps and dangers. Unfortunately, that's the bulk of what GiAnts offered me: A longing to play an older, very dated, player-made mod for an entirely different series, rather than enjoyment in the moment for what this title offered me.
GiAnts is an ambitious, creative take on first-person simulation titles, and I love that the designer decided to go with something as unusual as an ant for the main character. I liked Adam, and a lot of the dialog between him and his fellow colony members is clever, offering things like breaking the fourth wall and even poking fun at itself when not offering hints to the players. I loved exploring the terrain from this teeny-tiny perspective, but I also found that most of the areas were rather sparse in decorations and obstacles given the size of them. Outside, there's a slide and swing set, a man seated on a bench, a chicken pecking around, and a few other nifty things to see, but most of the area is just very flat landscape for Adam to run through while trying to dodge enemies.
Speaking of enemies - for the record they never, ever seem to lose interest in you; outrunning them is the only option short of just out-maneuvering them temporarily. This gets a little tiresome after a while, and it certainly increases the difficulty quickly. While I didn't test the Tip in the overlay that says every time you hit Escape another enemy is spawned – I tried it about 30 times instead of the 100 required for an ultra-difficult mode – but it certainly seemed to be raising the enemy count even at that amount. It's certainly a cheeky concept, "punishing" the player for hitting Esc., but since that's also how you access the menu to change your settings, exit to save, and even pause the game, it does seem like a steep penalty.
While I enjoyed the voices of the characters I encountered playing Adam, the other sounds in GiAnts are a mixed bag. When finding myself near a spider, a strange, screeching violin sound would play loudly; when a fly buzzed near, it buzzed very loudly, and it was difficult to guess how far away enemies were without stopping to look. On top of that, many of the enemies were able to pin me down so that I couldn't sprint away, which not only meant that they slowly killed me, but that I also had to listen to the overly loud sound effects for that creature type as well. In the Office level, most of the cubicles were playing different pieces of music, and those layered on top of all of the other soundtrack and sound effect noises was disorienting and downright unpleasant.
I feel that GiAnts is a fantastic idea that just needs a whole lot more polish. All of the fundamental elements are here: It's a cute storyline with a unique angle, fun voice acting, graphics that are substantial and lend to the overall feel of the game, plus lots of room to grow. Unfortunately, as it stands, GiAnts just doesn't offer enough to be competitive versus other simulation and Indie adventure titles. The interface is clunky and the instructions leave a lot to be desired, making a much steeper learning curve than necessary. The opponents are glitchy and bothersome to the point of being frustrating rather than challenging, and it started to detract from my overall enjoyment very quickly without triggering any desire to overcome and defeat these obstacles.
I really wanted to recommend GiAnts, but perhaps too much of my anticipation was thanks to my hours and hours spent as a tiny character in other gaming worlds, and that "bug's eye view" perspective made me too optimistic. The graphics here are fun, especially the blurry draw distance that makes exploration even more important, but it just isn't quite enough to keep me coming back for more. I'd love to revisit GiAnts at a later time if some of these problems are worked out: a little more incentive to overcome the frustration of the wonky enemies in order to see secret areas, and a satisfying ending would help as well. I'd have been a little more lenient with a lot of these issues, but I simply must say that it is better left avoided unless you really enjoy bug-based simulation platformers.

Home History of Hymns: "Abide with Me"
History of Hymns: "Abide with Me"
"Abide with Me"
Henry Francis Lyte
The United Methodist Hymnal, No. 700
The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide.
Some have cited Henry Francis Lyte's poem as the quintessential Victorian hymn. It appears in virtually every hymn book in the English language.
Lyte was born in Kelso, Scotland, on June 1, 1793 and died in Nice, France, on Nov. 20, 1847. He was educated at Portora, the Royal School of Enniskillen in Enniskillen, Ireland, and at Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland, where he graduated in 1814. During his tenure at Trinity College, Lyte was awarded the English Prize Poem on three occasions.
After graduating, he intended to study medicine but instead took holy orders in the Anglican Church in 1815. Lyte served the curacies at Taghmon, Marazion and Cornwell. His longest appointment was perpetual curate at Lower Brixham, Devonshire, in 1823, where he served for 24 years.
During Lyte's lifetime, he published several works that were mainly religious poetry: Tales of the Lord's Prayer in Verse (1826), Poems Chiefly Religious (1833), The Spirit of the Psalms (1834), and an edition of Poems of Henry Vaughan (1846). Most of the hymn texts that appear in today's hymnals are taken from the collection The Spirit of the Psalms.
There is some controversy to the exact dating of the text to "Abide with Me." An article in the Spectator, Oct. 3, 1925, says that Lyte composed the hymn in 1820 while visiting a dying friend.
However, in 1847, Lyte wrote a letter to his daughter Julia, where he referred to the hymn as "my latest effusion." There is no clear evidence on when he actually wrote the hymn. According to Raymond Glover, editor to The Companion to Hymnal 1982, Lyte probably wrote the hymn in 1820, and recalled the hymn during the illness that led to his death in 1847.
The hymn is based on Luke 24:29, part of a post-Resurrection narrative telling the story of Emmaus: "But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them."
Hymnologist J.R. Watson notes, "Lyte's genius takes the quotation and turns it into a metaphor for human life in all of its brevity. At the same time, by changing 'Abide with us' into 'Abide with me,' he deepens the feeling by making it speak to the individual, in prayer or meditation."
It is perhaps the personal intensity of the text, the use of the metaphor of evening and the closing line, "In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me," that makes this hymn a favorite at funerals.
Of the original eight stanzas, The United Methodist Hymnal uses five. The second stanza reflects much of the Victorian spirit:
"Swift from my grasp ebbs out life's little day,
Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away,
A focus on death and the corresponding transience of life is characteristic of Victorian hymns. John Bell, troubadour of Scotland's Iona Community and a liturgical reformer, traces some of the complacency of the church over the years and its inability to change to the theology embedded in the third line of this stanza: "Change and decay in all around I see."
Ian Bradley, a leading scholar of Victorian hymns, names his book on this subject, Abide with Me: The World of Victorian Hymns. He notes, "John Bell, the leading contemporary Scottish hymn writer, has pointed to the damage done to the cause of reform and moving on in the life of churches by the deadening effect of [this line] from 'Abide with me.'"
The text to "Abide with me, fast falls the eventide" first appeared in the famous Hymns Ancient and Modern (1861), but it may be the hymn tune EVENTIDE by William Henry Monk, the musical editor of the hymnal, that has assured its continual use.
Mr. St. Romain is a sacred music student of Dr. Michael Hawn at Perkins School of Theology.

Our next Waiting Family Meeting is Friday, November 8, 2013 at 7-8:30 pm. Michele Greco, a life coach & personal consultant, will present on "The Mindful Wait & Leaning Into Openness". I know from personal experience that the wait is emotional and not knowing what lies ahead can be scary. I had no idea how an open adoption relationship would play out. No one does since the involved parties usually don't know each other. Michele can ease some fears and present options to use as tools. This meeting will be "hands on"–in the sense that you will participate in developing ideas and strategies.
The meeting is at Legacy Emanuel Hospital, Medical Office Building 2 (501 N. Graham). I have attached a campus map. Look for NAFA signs–park in Parking Structure 2. We are in a small building between the stairs and the turnaround.

Antonique Smith – Transition from Acting the Part of a Singer to Getting Her Chance to Be One (Exclusive Interview)
Sep 15, 2012 | Interviews
Although Antonique Smith has built up a name for herself through her various acting roles in shows like "Notorious" and "Rent", her first love since she was young has always been singing. After acting came into her life by chance, she's now ready to move her focus back to that first love with the release of her debut album. This isn't like any ordinary debut though; she's shunned labels and decided she wanted to control the direction of the project. Going the unique route of utilizing a Kickstarter campaign, she's allowed her fans the opportunity to contribute to the success of the album. YouKnowIGotSoul caught up with Antonique after her performance at a recent showcase in NYC. We discussed with her what to expect on the debut, the transition from acting to singing, the success of her Kickstarter campaign, working with Dr. Dre, and much more.
YouKnowIGotSoul: You're known for your acting, but now you're doing singing now also. When did you decide to get into singing?
Antonique Smith: Oh my! Since I was three, I always wanted to sing. I always wanted to do both. Whitney Houston was the inspiration to sing when I heard her voice as a kid, I said to myself, "That's what I want to sound like." My whole life since I was three, I was in my grandparents' living room, I had a tape recorder and I'd be making voices. I would do a radio show and I would be the host AND the guest. *Laughs*I would do puppet shows and I would make everyone sit down and watch me. I would literally make people watch me. Then when I started singing in Church at seven years old, I would literally make strangers stop and listen to me. I always wanted to do both and I was doing music first, then acting came to me. An agent came and said "I want to be your agent" and that's how I got "Rent" on Broadway and "Law & Order". I just started getting these acting things and then I was like "Okay, maybe I shouldn't fight it and just do it." Now I'm so ready to do music.
YouKnowIGotSoul: You got this Kickstarter campaign. How did you decide that was the way you wanted to go about with things for your solo career?
Antonique Smith: You know, it's a grassroots "Yes we can" type of thing where your supporters go and they can pledge to be a part of the creative process. It's them voting for you like how America votes for your favorite, it's them voting for me in a sense that's using their money to vote. They're getting a reward back, it's not just them giving me money. For now, they get singles, EPs, vocal lessons or you get to come with me in my video or sit with me at a movie set. You get things back, you get experiences back and you get the music back in every level. It's their way of saying "We love you Antonique, this is what we want her to be doing and not necessarily what the executive might want to do to change her". This just keeps the people part of it.
YouKnowIGotSoul: How's it been so far in terms of the success?
Antonique Smith: Good! Statistically, it's been a super surge in the beginning and then there's a super surge at the end. It's kind of the procrastination thing where people go "Oh my god! This is cool, I'm going to come back to this next week." That's how everybody works so I'm in that moment where everybody is going "I almost forgot, let me do it!" I'm really excited. We're almost there, we're almost done and I'm happy. The music is going to come out and it's going to what I've always dreamed it to be and I'm really proud of it. I think you guys are going to like it because you see me as an actor, but musically, you get to see me, you get to see Antonique.
YouKnowIGotSoul: How important was it not to have an executive to tell you what to do and just doing it on your own?
Antonique Smith: So important because sometimes you get with that right executive who shares your vision and they don't change it, but it's really rare. A lot of times they have their own thing that they want to do. Us as people, we all have our own visions for things and because they're spending millions of dollars on you, they want to make you do this or that. That's why I decided to go with Kickstarter because it's my supporters helping fund it and leaves it up to me to what I sound like and how I feel. I think it's good for me.
YouKnowIGotSoul: Talk about your album and the sound we can expect on it.
Antonique Smith: I like to call it Pop/Soul with a Hip Hop feel to it. It's like a fusion, it's my own sound. I don't think it sounds like anybody else. I grew up singing to Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Aretha Franklin and Celine Dion. Those are my vocal influences, but I grew up listening to Mary J Blige. She's one of my big influences, I was a kid running through the park listening to this song. I'm a Hip Hop fan as well, so all of these other influences add to the fusion of my music. Plus I'm from East Orange, New Jersey so you got to have a little edge in there!
YouKnowIGotSoul: Of course you have the single "Speechless". Talk about that.
Antonique Smith: "Speechless" is a song I wrote. I wrote it with TC and Jukebox produced the song. It's a song about a person who just leaves you speechless, you don't even know what to say. It's like "You just take the words out of your mouth, that's how much I love you!" I love that song.
YouKnowIGotSoul: I was reading you were working with Dr. Dre on the album?
Antonique Smith: Dre gave me the track that I think really changed my direction, it gave me that thing. He gave me something that I didn't know I was missing. He heard "Speechless", "Remembering" and a couple of other songs. He loved them so he played me the track to "Higher" and it was incredible. He said "Take it, do something with it!" Me and my friend wrote it and it was incredible to me, the song is called "Higher". I can't wait for you guys to hear that. Thank you so much Dr. Dre and I look forward to working with him again and hearing Detox. I worked on that a little bit, but he has like a million amazing songs on Detox, so there's no telling what's going to happen with that.
YouKnowIGotSoul: Talk about the comparison of putting your heart and soul into a music album and acting.
Antonique Smith: It's partly the same because even in my roles, I might infuse a little bit of myself. I figure out where I identify with the character. I mean if you're playing something super crazy and it's so apart from you, there's still humanity. We're all human and we still share some of the same experiences. I try to find those things as an actor. With my music, it's all me. They're different in that in acting, I have to go outside for the other parts that aren't like me and still understanding humans. So yeah, they're similar.
YouKnowIGotSoul: Anything you'd like to add?
Antonique Smith: I just want to thank everybody so much. All my supporters, you guys have been great. I am giving 100% my best to give you guys pure, amazing things like music and my movies. I'm putting 100% of myself into it because I really want you guys to feel things, to be touched and to be blessed. I'm just grateful!
