"I DON'T READ WOMEN WRITERS"
Recently, author Gay Talese caused a firestorm when he answered a question during a Q & A at a literary event about what women writers had inspired him. Talese was clearly a little nonplussed by the question: "Uh, I'd say Mary McCarthy was one. I would, um, [pause] think [pause] of my generation [pause] um, none."
By the time he'd gotten home, the 84 year old Talese, who'd penned such classics of literary journalism as "Honor Thy Father", "Thy Neighbor's Wife" and "The Kingdom and The Power," was being told by the Red Caps at the Amtrak station that he'd "gotten himself in trouble" up in Boston (according to the account in the New York Times). His wife told him "Welcome home. You're all over Twitter." And so he was. The online service had exploded with tweets calling him "sexist" and "out of touch." They reacted with disbelief to his further remarks that, in his day, women weren't tending to do "exploratory" journalism like he was doing, "Because…women, educated women, writerly women, don't want to, or do not feel comfortable dealing with strangers, or people that I'm attracted to, sort of the offbeat characters, not reliable." They pointed out female non-fiction writers like Joan Didion, Gloria Steinem, Mary McGrory, Ellen Willis, Edna Buchanan—the list goes on and on.
Now, Talese claims he misunderstood the question, and maybe that's true. And this was Twitter, after all, which is famous for demonizing and ruining people before its hive-mind has had a chance to think.
But I myself have heard people dismiss female writers, especially in my own area of crime and thriller fiction. I'm thinking in particular about a fellow who asked me at one signing who I was reading at the moment. I mentioned how much I was enjoying one of Laura Lippman's Tess Monaghan novels. The man (who really did seem like an otherwise nice fellow) pursed his lips in distaste. "I don't read woman writers," he said. I was so flabbergasted that I couldn't answer for a moment. Finally, I just said "well, you're missing out on a lot," which was certainly a lot nicer than what I wanted to say. Since then, other writers have told me they've heard the same thing, and I've seen similar comments online. "I don't read female writers."
To which I can only reply: WTF?
I can kindasorta understand the people who tell me "I only read non-fiction." I certainly don't feel that way, but I can see how some people might.
But if I'd said "I don't read women writers," I'd have missed out on the above-mentioned Laura Lippman's amazing work. I'd have missed Val McDermid and Karin Slaughter and Megan Abbott and Barbara Seranella (RIP). I'd have missed the work and thus most likely the friendship of some of my favorite people, like Tasha Alexander and Toni McGee Causey and Margaret Maron and Alexandra Sokoloff. I'd have missed the work and the friendship of the extremely talented ladies on these blog: Sarah and Kate and Lise and Taffy and Sparkle.
In fact, if I'd turned my back on female authors, I probably wouldn't be writing crime fiction today, at least not in the way I do now, because it was our very own Katy Munger who gave me my earliest encouragement and whose Casey Jones PI novels taught me by example that my native North Carolina could be a pretty cool place to write about (Thanks, Katy).
So, Thalians and friends of the blog: have you ever had someone tell you "I don't read women writers?" And what would you suggest for them, other than a long walk off a short pier?

Interesting piece! I like your riposte here! Bronte
Doris Ann Norris, the 2000-year-old librarian says:
Okay, I came to this late, but have to say that's a masculine view that starts in boyhood. As a librarian, I knew boys would read the Hardy Boys, Encyclopedia Brown and other boy heroes…but never Nancy Drew. When I gave a tour to 6th graders, ending up in the youth dept., I would end by noting this gender bias and saying that's why women (who tend to read more widely) understand men better than men understand women. We've read about boy heroes…while the boys eschewed girl protagonists. This was true in movie. For a couple of decade I reviewed movies for the local papers. Boys also didn't want to see movies that featured girls. Thus I had to round up a could of girls to see "Matilda" a delightful character in a fun movie.
My Dad, from whom I must have inherited my mystery reading gene, wouldn't read a woman author. I gave him a Dell Shannon book (pseud. for Elizabeth Linington) and he loved it…and he began reading mystery authors. There were male readers at the library who were the same and seemed to think it was unthinkable for them to read anything a woman might pen. (One did yell at me when I was in the bleachers at a hs football game. "I found a woman author I want to read." I knew exactly what it was going to be and I was correct. Remember when Madonna had a book out called SEX? Along with household chores and child rearing, that's one other thing women are needed for.

Improvised trips are (almost) always the best. December 20th, 2015, 6.12 in the morning. A group of six dudes and a gorgeous lady, packed up in a minivan and headed to Belgrade to meet two other guys who would arrive at the Nikola Tesla Airport (Аеродром Београд – Никола Тесла) on the following day.
Sofia was foggy, but our group was more than ready for the 4 and ½ drive to the Serbian capital, which stands at around 450 km north-west of the Bulgarian one.
Serbia was not very welcoming either as the fog seemed to have spread all over the Balkan Peninsula.
We entered into Belgrade, and my brother tried to call a friend of Milan (the Serbian guy who is going to kindly host us in his apartment but is out of Serbia) who appeared to be still sleeping. Nonetheless, we put the address of his building into the GPS and headed to Novi Beograd/Нови Београд (New Belgrade). While browsing through the photos, you will notice that some names are written in Latin and others – in Cyrillic. More information can be found in this article.
New Belgrade surely has some awe-inspiring communist buildings. One may wonder why they are built in this terraced way.
After we dropped our luggage (and the treats, among which a jar of lyutenitsa, we have brought for the host) in Milan's apartment, we decided to take a stroll along the river Sava and find a nice place to munch on Serbian delicacies.
Belgrade, along the river Sava.
Stari Pingvin Restaurant was our choice for lunch.
After a glance at the menu of Стари пингвин (The Old Penguin), we quickly entered inside. Since the restaurant is cosily nestled on the river, a fish soup is a must (at least for me).
Another must-try is the Serbian pljeskavica. This one came with a side dish of French fries and coarsely chopped onions and was generously topped with kajmak. I always strive to try the local beer when I am in a foreign country. This one is called Jelen and is a light lager. Jelen means deer in Serbian.
Fish soup with an abundant amount of parsley.
The well-known pljeskavica. The menu said it was 350-400 grams, which, obviously, is a big understatement. Delectable!
Svet and Aleks in front of the "Стари Пингвин".
The afternoon was designated for a museum tour and our choice is the Tesla Museum. Its location is in the centre of Belgrade. The Nikola Tesla Archive is part of the UNESCO's Memory of the World Programme Register because of its crucial role in regards to the history of the electrification of the world and the future technological developments in this area.
After an interesting video about Tesla and his experiments, the guy, who speaks flawless English, asked us some questions and after that, we were taken to the Tesla Coil. The device was invented by Nikola Tesla around 1891. It produces a high voltage (500kV), a high frequency alternated voltage, and a low current. We were shown how it accumulates power and two dudes of our group held lamps (like "lightsabres") in their hands which were lighted as a result. You can see that in the video below my camera zoomed in automatically because of the high voltage produced in the room.
Afterwards, we moved to the telecommand and some of our group (including me) got hit by 100kV of electricity. The further you move your hand from the telecommand, the more painful it became, but at close distance, it feels like pinching.
The last part of the tour showed us some documents, history, and we also saw the urn holding Tesla's ashes.
The big coil which accumulates 500,000 volts.
The telecommand which pinched me with 100,000 volts.
This is a better photo of a (different) telecommand. The small sphere on top produces the electricity.
*The price of a ticket is 500 RSD (Serbian dinars) or around 4½ USD. The tour starts every hour and takes approximately 45-50 minutes, including the video. The museum is closed on Mondays.
After the tour, we strolled around the city centre. Unfortunately, my camera's battery was slowly dying so I managed to take only a few photos. Due to the fact that the trip was improvised, I had not read about any of the sights I took pictures of, but I managed, thanks to a friend of mine (hvala, Gabriela) and Google, to find information about all of them.
House of the National Assembly of Serbia – Дом Народне Скупштине/Dom Narodne Skupštine.
A magnificent view of the Brankov most.
After a couple of hundred ml of Serbian plum rakija (šljivovica) with propolis on the previous night, we woke up around 10:30, got our stuff out of Milan's apartment, and went to pick up our two other friends who were supposed to arrive at the airport around noon.
15 minutes delays, some happy hugging, and we were back in the minivan on our way to visit the most famous fish restaurant in Serbia – Ресторан "Шаран" ("Carp" Restaurant) situated not more than 20 metres away from the Danube river.
As soon as we entered, two big bowls of fish soup were ordered and while waiting, we were given home-made bread and caviar spreads. Saying that the soup was delectable would be an understatement. I filled my bowl three times and accompanied it with copious amounts of bread. Some of our group were even more courageous and ordered fish dishes.
The soup was thick since there were a lot of fish crumbs inside.
Carp stuffed with peppers and generously sprinkled with walnuts.
Svet in front of the Šaran restaurant.
After heavily stuffing ourselves with fish delicacies, we went to Kalemegdan Park which stands at the confluence of the Sava and the Danube in the urban area of Belgrade, in its Stari Grad (Old Town) municipality. Heavy fog was all over the place, but my camera was able to capture some nice, blurry images.
On our way out we got in the minivan and headed back to Sofia. Beograd is an amazing city which has so much more to offer and I cannot wait to go there again, indulge into mouth-watering rakija and explore more of its historical sights.
Have you been to Belgrade before? Which places would you recommend visiting?
The St Mark's Church looks amazing! And the food… oh, the food is something to die for!
Haha, yes, the food is really to die for! I cannot wait to go back and try more or even the same. It was more than delicious! And I hope to see more great sights!
This looks great! I would love to get to Belgrade one day:) The food must be amazing!
We were in Razlog for a week so Belgrade was much farther away. We only got as far as Nis, had a hard time looking for some sights because our taxi driver did not have a GPS! It was frustrating!
Oh, you were in Bulgaria! You should have called 😛 Did you like the Pirin mountains?
Yeah, although Serbia is very nice, I believe Bulgaria is more tourist-oriented.
Do you think Belgrade is a decent tourist destination? I know very little about the place but I am guessing most western tourists would find it difficult there. DO they speak much English?
Belgrade is a great place situated on two big rivers and offers amazing places to eat and visit. Bulgarians and Serbians can speak in their own languages and perfectly understand each other, so I did not need any English, but they speak it fluently. Especially, as I have pointed out, the guy at Tesla museum – his English was almost flawless. Eastern Europe is not so popular on the tourist maps, but it is steadily gaining more and more ground and it will overcome many other Western destinations, because it has so much to offer – history, food, scenery – and all at cheap to reasonable prices!
I haven't been to Begrade yet but it looks like it is worth a visit. The House of the National Assembly looks so nice with all the lights.
I have a friend who also likes to try local beers in all of her travel.
I learned about Tesla few years ago, like the fact that he is more badass than Edison. The Tesla Museum sounds interesting., I'm afraid of getting electrocuted actually, even if it's just a pinch, but I wouldn't want to miss a visit on this museum when I get a chance to go to Serbia.
Trying the food and, especially, drinks (beer, wine, spirits) is one of the best ways to merge with locals, in my humble opinion.
I was not very aware of Tesla's contributions to the world, but now I have so much respect for him and his deeds. You cannot get electrocuted. It is impossible – and thanks to Tesla again. Do visit the museum – it has so much interesting things to offer!
Great to finally read one of your blogs! How was that deer beer? I'm definitely a big fan of trying local brews as well any time there's an opportunity.
The food does sound amazing! I would love to go and experience that…it's surely an interesting place!
I would just love to try all of that exotic food! And that pljeskavica looks soooooo tasty! It's HUGE!
Love the church! And it looks like a fun city in general. Never really considered going here really, but it looks good!
There are so many other great churches in Belgrade and I hope I will visit them in the future. It was not the cosiest of weathers, but I am sure the confluence of the two rivers on a bright day looks amazing!
Add it, but bear in mind Serbia are not (yet) part of the EU :)) The park is really fascinating, but it was foggy so no vista ..
We should be heading to Belgrade this year and it is one of the cities we are most looking forward to visiting as we love that Eastern bloc feel.
Yes, they are! The big one was not for trying, he-he.
Visited Belgrade last year and loved it! That photo of the pljeskavica brought some nice memories and made my stomach produce strange noises :)) I also love the pastries in Serbia, never had anything better anywhere in the world. Plus, there are quite a few things to see in Belgrade and it's really cheap!
Yes, Belgrade is fabulous. I have to explore so much more. Just reminding myself of the pljeskavica makes me want to go there again 😀 I have tried some nice Serbian pastries in Bulgaria, but I am sure there are so many more to be tasted. It is quite cheap and so interesting a place!

'Colourfully queer' – Finding an alternative family at Oxford
Features Pink
19th January 2020 15th November 2020 Jade Calder
Upon arriving at Oxford, I was initially tentative about dipping my toe into the water of the LGBTQ+ 'scene', as it were. As a closeted and very awkward fresher, I assumed that I would continue down the path which I had precariously followed for the previous years of my adolescence, i.e. attempting to deflect all mentions of my sexuality unless absolutely necessary.
Yet, as I waved off my father at the college gates in October and retreated to my empty new room, I realised that for the first time in my life I had free rein over the identity I wanted to present to the world. I was also mindful that the intensity of a short-term and a tight-knit college environment would make it difficult to hide a signficant part of my personality.
The LGBTQ+ Society at Oxford has been instrumental in organising what may well be the most welcoming and supportive group of its kind at any university in the country. From the ever-popular Tuesday night drinks (and the mysterious 'queer juice') followed by the weekly ritual trip to Plush, to the more relaxed welfare events for people whose cup of tea is more, well, a cup of tea, there's been something for everyone regardless of identity or orientation. Naturally, as Oxford is a student city with a generally liberal outlook, many of us do feel freer to openly express our identities and walk the streets without the fear of reprisals that we may have felt at home.
Furthermore, by branching out I have developed a network of friends across different colleges. One of the absolute highlights of Michaelmas has been watching my friends support the #OxwiththeT campaign as a riposte to those who wish to silence their identities in academia. Perhaps the first time I felt at home at Oxford was when I joined my friends in chanting "Solidarity Forever" at a trans* rights rally at the Sheldonian on a cold autumn evening. In that moment, the sheer wave of camaraderie and harmony amongst us transcended the institutionalised problems of the University.
However, the inclusive and supportive university-wide community may not necessarily translate into a wholly positive experience within individual colleges. Only some colleges have a trans* rep (or equivalent) and, as a minority group within a much larger community we can occasionally feel adrift from the crowd. I vividly remember my first evening at my new college when I sat next to a group of students who rolled their eyes and snickered when the JCR committee announced their pronouns to the new freshers.
I joined my friends in chanting "Solidarity Forever" at a trans* rights rally at the Sheldonian.
Over the next few days, as I overheard my peers casually debating (and dismissing) trans* rights across the dining table, I became painfully aware of my cisgendered privilege. As I plucked up my northern courage to challenge their views to their faces, I began to worry that some people have never had the inconvenience of having to contemplate the dignity of others at the expense of their intellectual ego.
Evidently there is still more to be done to ensure that everyone is welcome in Oxford, and I can't help but wonder if some colleges do a better job at encouraging a vibrant and supportive LGBTQ+ scene than others. Whilst considering how many of my queer friends have admitted to me that they feel isolated from college life, I also realised that many of them are also from an ethnic minority or low-income background — in other words, groups at higher risk of experiencing mental health issues at university. Oxford is by no means perfect, and the toxic masculinity associated with certain societies and traditions — although by no means a large part of the university life experience — is just about discernible enough to be an irritating reminder of the University's more unsavoury aspects.
…a community of friends who empathise with and support each other…
That being said, I don't regret my decision to stick my head above the parapet at the start of Michaelmas. Indulging in the colourfully queer world of Oxford has rewarded me with a community of friends who empathise with and support each other through the good times and the bad, from the transphobic tutors to the most euphoric ABBA nights at Plush.
During each vac, some of us may have to return to homes which may not be the most supportive of our identities or sexual orientations. But we face that prospect with the small ray (or rainbow) of hope that we at least have a diverse, inclusive, and caring alternative family awaiting us upon our return to Oxford.
Queerfest was definitely not worth £20, though.

1B+ shots will be available in Park County
Published on Wed, 03/03/2021 - 3:49pm
Sam Klomhaus — Enterprise Staff Writer
Gov. Gianforte announced Tuesday the creation of vaccine distribution phase "1B+," which is set to include those age 60 and over and those with conditions such as asthma, cystic fibrosis and liver disease.
Those in 1B+ will be eligible for COVID-19 vaccinations beginning March 8.
Those included in Phase 1B+ will be able to get on Livingston HealthCare's vaccine waiting list March 8, according to the hospital's website.
"Livingston HealthCare's waiting list will update on March 8 to remain in line with the state's guidance for vaccine distribution," the website stated.
The waiting list sign-up can be found here: https://www.livingstonhealthcare.org/Patients-Visitors/Coronavirus-COVID....
According to the site, Park County's vaccine supply remains significantly lower than the phase 1B population. The 1B waiting list is capped at 2,000 people, according to the site.
The Park County Health Department is focusing on those age 70 and up for vaccinations right now, as well as people of color, Health Department Director Alex Baukus said Tuesday.
Baukus said Park County receives 300-400 Moderna first doses each week, and starting this week about 100 Johnson and Johnson vaccines were added.
Those doses are split among the Health Department, Livingston HealthCare, Osco Pharmacy at Albertsons, Western Drug, Community Health Partners and the Medcor clinic at Mammoth.


These words were part of the inaugural address given by Edinboro University President Dr. H. Fred Walker. The theme of the inauguration, "Tradition and Transformation," had Walker also touching on hope, optimism and opportunity for the future of the university. On March 23 in the Louis C. Cole Auditorium, Walker was officially installed as the university's 18th president in a ceremony that lasted approximately 90 minutes.
Walker began as the university president on July 1, 2016, succeeding interim president, Dr. David Werner. Walker earned a bachelor's degree in industrial technology and a master of business administration from California State University- Fresno. He also holds a master of engineering in industrial and systems engineering and a doctor of philosophy degree in industrial education and technology, both earned from Iowa State University.
He worked in avionics in the Navy for nine years, and worked in the United States, Asia, Africa and Australia. He was honorably discharged in 1992.
Walker was formerly an assistant professor at the University of Southern Maine. Most recently, he served as dean of the college of applied Science and Technology at the Rochester Institute of Technology.
The ceremony began with a procession of student and faculty groups from the university, including: faculty delegates, the president's executive council, alumni delegates, students representing academic departments, students representing student organizations, students representing varsity sports and the dais party.
Once the groups entered the auditorium, the Edinboro University pipes and drums band played as Walker joined the dais party on the stage.
Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE) Chancellor Frank Brogan performed the official investiture of the president, and chair of the PASSHE Board of Governors, Cynthia Shapira, administered the oath of office to Walker.
Additionally, Dennis Frampton, Chair of the Edinboro University Council of Trustees and Dr. Brian Zimmerman, macebearer and professor of geosciences, presented the university's medallion and mace.
He continued by accepting and embracing the authority and responsibilities of his office.
"This is the work I have prepared my whole life to do, to serve higher education," he said.
He spoke of his background: how he was a nontraditional student in the Navy, how the Navy was his path to college and how he overcame struggles throughout his life.
In November, Walker formed three working groups that were to analyze various aspects of the university, including academics, enrollment and finances. His speech broadly addressed some of the findings of the working groups and kept a strong focus on how the university will change positively in the future.
He went on to talk about how academics is not the only facet that distinguishes a university. Walker highlighted students who have excelled in the areas of experiential learning, athletics, and clubs and organizations.
"The success of that work will lead to greater student success and enhance the post-college success of our alumni as they enter the workforce," he said.
After the ceremony concluded, Walker stood in the lobby of the auditorium with his family and shook the hands of members of the community and the university, beaming with pride each time someone congratulated him.

NASA Is Painting Rocket and Plane Models Hot Pink … for Science
By Hanneke Weitering 2016-08-12T10:18:16Z Tech
NASA engineer Nettie Roozeboom monitors a generic rocket model coated with hot-pink pressure-sensitive paint that glows under blue light inside a wind tunnel at NASA's Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California.
To see how new rocket and aircraft designs perform under pressure, NASA's aeronautical innovators are painting model prototypes an eye-searing hot pink for wind tunnel tests in California and Virginia.
The wild paint job isn't just for looks. NASA engineers are using a pressure-sensitive paint (PSP) that can show — with a dazzling glow — how the surface of a rocket or aircraft model responds to pressure. NASA is conducting the tests in wind tunnels at the agency's Ames Research Center in California and Langley Research Center in Virginia.
Here's how it works: Once inside the wind tunnel, the model aircraft is illuminated with blue LED lights to give the fluorescent paint a bright-pink glow. Then, high-speed winds flow across the model, creating a range of surface pressures across different parts of the aircraft. [NASA's Vision of Future Air Travel in Pictures]
Oxygen in the wind reacts with luminophores, or fluorescent particles, in the paint, quenching its glow under high pressure. The varying shades of dull and bright pink that result allow researchers to visualize exactly how the pressure is distributed.
With a coat of pressure-sensitive fluorescent paint, the hot-pink hue of an aircraft in testing helps engineers at NASA's Ames Research Center in California design new planes that run on half the fuel and produce only one-eighth the noise pollution.
(Image credit: NASA)
"PSP is great because, as long as you can apply paint to the area you want to test, illuminate it with a lamp and view it with a camera, you can gather data you might not otherwise be able to get," Nettie Roozeboom, an aerospace engineer at NASA's Ames Research Center, said in a statement.
Understanding how pressure is distributed over the surfaces of an aircraft is important for designing new planes that don't fall apart while flying in high-speed winds. But it also helps engineers build aircraft that are more efficient. With less wind resistance, aircraft require less fuel, emit less pollution and produce less noise.
Pressure-sensitive paint covers the blade tips of a helicopter scale model during wind tunnel tests at NASA's Langley Research Center in Virginia.
NASA has used PSP to test airplanes for more than 25 years. Today, the agency is working to make more effective PSPs to test vehicles that leave Earth as well. The goal is to create a new and improved PSP that responds faster to pressure while also being less sensitive to temperature than the existing technology is.
But there is one thing about this paint that will likely never change: its neon-pink glow.

The 2019 Tyrone Senior Football Championship is the 114th edition of Tyrone GAA's premier gaelic football tournament for clubs in Tyrone Senior Football League Division 1. 16 teams compete with the winners receiving the O'Neill Cup and representing Tyrone in the Ulster Senior Club Football Championship.

Coalisland Fianna were the defending champions after they defeated Killyclogher St. Mary's in the 2018 final. However the defence of their title came undone at the semi-final stage when losing to eventual champions Trillick St. Macartan's.

Tattyreagh St. Patrick's, Eglish St. Patrick's and Dungannon Thomas Clarke's returned to senior championship football in 2019.

Tattyreagh St. Patrick's made the straight drop back down to the Intermediate ranks when finishing bottom of the 2019 S.F.L. They were followed by Edendork St. Malachy's who lost their S.F.L. Relegation Playoff to Eglish St. Patrick's, who in turn were then relegated after losing their SFL/IFL promotion/relegation playoff to Loughmacrory St. Teresa's. I.F.C. and I.F.L. champions Galbally Pearse's and I.F.L. runners-up Pomeroy Plunkett's will also replace these relegated teams in 2020.

On 13 October 2019, Trillick St. Macartan's claimed their 8th S.F.C. crown and their first triumph since 2015 when defeating Errigal Ciarán by 0-12 to 2-4 in the final at Healy Park.

The draw for the 2019 S.F.C. was made on 28 February 2019.

Format
The championship has a straight knock out structure. The 16 teams that  take part in the championship are the 16 teams in the Senior Football League (SFL).

Relegation from SFC:

Either two or three teams are relegated each year from the SFC and SFL. The 16th placed team in the SFL is automatically relegated to the IFL. The 15th and 14th placed teams then play a SFL relegation playoff with the loser being relegated. The winner plays the winner of the IFL promotion playoffs - if they win, they remain in the SFC and  SFL - if they lose they are relegated to the IFC and IFL. (The winner of the SFC can't be relegated. If the championship winner finishes in the bottom 3 in the league, the 13th placed team enters the relegation scenario.)

Promotion to SFC:

Either two or three teams are promoted to the SFC each year. The IFC champions and the IFL champions are automatically promoted to the senior grade (If a team wins the IFC and IFL, the 2nd placed team in the IFL are automatically promoted). 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th place in the IFL enter the IFL promotion semi-finals (If the IFC champions are placed in the top 5 the 6th placed team enter the IFL promotion semi-finals) with the eventual winner of the final earning the right to play the loser of the SFL relegation playoff in a relegation/promotion playoff.

Team Changes
The following teams have changed division since the 2018 championship season.

To S.F.C.
Promoted from 2018 Tyrone I.F.C.
 Tattyreagh St. Patrick's - (IFC Champions)
 Eglish St. Patrick's - (IFL Champions)
 Dungannon Thomas Clarke's - (SFL/IFL promotion/relegation playoff Winner)

From S.F.C.
Relegated to 2019 I.F.C.
 Aghyaran St. Davog's - (SFL/IFL promotion/relegation playoff Loser)
 Pomeroy Plunkett's - (SFL Relegation Loser)
 Galbally Pearses - (16th in SFL)

Round 1
All 16 teams enter Round 1 in a random open draw. The 8 losers are eliminated from the championship while the 8 winners proceed to the quarter-finals.

AN EXAMINATION OF THE PROCEDURES FOR THE APPOINTMENT AND REMOVAL OF EXTERNAL AUDITOR BY PUBLIC LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANIES: (A CASE STUDY OF ORANGE DRUGS NIGERIA LIMITED IMO STATE)
July 9, 2018 adminLeave a Comment on AN EXAMINATION OF THE PROCEDURES FOR THE APPOINTMENT AND REMOVAL OF EXTERNAL AUDITOR BY PUBLIC LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANIES: (A CASE STUDY OF ORANGE DRUGS NIGERIA LIMITED IMO STATE)
The need for the auditing of account for a business venture cannot be overemphasized, Even in the early 19th century, kings insisted that their steward read their account of stewardship to them orally which the kings listened to and acknowledge as having received. This was called "stewardship account".
With the large amount of business transaction that companies these days go into, which involves a huge chunk of their resources. There is need for the accounts of such companies to be properly audited so that monies and resources may not be fraudulently mismanaged and such mismanagement swept under the carpet. This gave rise to the need for the appointment of external persons outside the companies staffs and management to look into the final account and vouchers such companies, such person must be trained accountants called Auditors.
The functions includes
• To carryout detached review of financial statements
• To perform compliance test on the internal control Opinions and test accounting records
• To compare companies financial statement with existing accounting records to see that they agree.
• To report on the financial statements and in compliance with any relevant statutory obligation.
According to Cook and Winle (1976), the traditional audits were meticulous, and they involved defiled review of records designed to determine whether each transaction was properly recorded in the correct account and in the amount with main objective of detecting fraud and testing the trust of persons in fiduciary positions. But modern auditing pays more attention to the efficient working off the internal control system to reduce and prevent to a large extent errors and frauds rather than detailed and massive checking (vouching) of transactions and discovering of errors.
Hence the change by the English companies Act 1948 from the true and correct view" as was formerly practiced to true and fair view" in the opinion of the auditors. This makes the auditors opinion very essential for intending investors and regulatory authorities, so the procedure for the appointment and removal of the auditors by companies should be accorded a great deal of care so not to deviate from laid down laws and also respect the intensions of the shareholders who have a stake in the decisions of the company.
Hence the change by the English companies Act 1948 from the true and correct view" as was formerly practiced to true and correct view" as was formerly practiced to true and fair view" in the opinion of the auditors. This makes the auditors opinion very essential for intending investors and regulatory authorities, so the procedure for the appointment and removal of the auditors by companies should be accorded a great deal of care so not to deviate from laid down laws and also respect the intensions of the shareholders who have a stake in the decisions of the company.
1.2 HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF THE CASE STUDY
After working for the family Owned chemist shop, eastern industrial chemist, for 13 years, Sir Tony Eze Nna decided to establish his own pharmaceutical company, with the leadership and managerial skills acquired on the Job.
The company, orange Drugs limited, was registered and incorporated on July 206th 1988 with No Re 115913. Its first office was in Ikenegbu, Owerri, Imo state in 1989 and in order to be among the leading pharmaceutical companies in Nigeria and compete with other companies in different parts of the world, the company later moved its base to Lagos.
The first corporate office was at 4B Okupe Estate Mende Mary Land, Lagos and in 2001, the company relocated to its present head office at 66168 town planning way, Lipeju, lagos with Braches in different parts of the country.
Orange Drugs limited is a reliability company with an authorized fully paid share capital of N5million Naira involved in the marketing and distribution of well tested drugs, manufactured in Indonesia, Italy, India, company and the United States of America with the Nigerian Consumer in mind.
Subsequently, orange Drugs limited founded the beauty care industries through the importation of saps, creams and other beauty products. By 2006, the company commended the local production of different brands of their soap in Lagos and this was aimed at boosting the Nigeria manufacturing sectors and also creating jobs for the populace.
In other to meet up with the challenges in the global economy, Orange Drugs limited subsequently diversified its line of business by the establishment of Orange Kalbe Ltd and orange west Africa landed leading to the formation of orange groups
Owing to the importance of a company maintaining proper internal control systems in the administration of its affairs, the auditors has to be properly briefed on the workings of virtually every sector of its dealings and on its tangible and intangible assets based. So as to have a proper knowledge of the companies finances./ but over the years, the rate of collapse and distress of many companies has made people to ask such questions as
1. Why do companies publish inaccurate financial records?
2. Why should auditors and organization deceive the public through wrong information on their finances
3. the impact of such wrong and unreliable business info ration to national economy and investment in general
The consequences of inaccurate business information to the public
These have head to widespread speculation among financial information users that auditors are part of the causes of such collapse as they are believed to have proper knowledge of the finances of companies and report credibly about then but still such companies collapse to the disbelieve or the public.
This has even caused the Nigerian shareholders solidarity association to mobilize its members and the public to take closer looks at the role of the auditors in business failure over the last couple of years and their means of appointment.
Auditing has been defined by the American committee of Basic Auditing concepts as "A systematic process of objectively obtaining and evaluating evidence regarding the assertions about economic action to ascertain the degree of correspondence between those assertions and established criteria and communicating the result to interested user"
This definition brings out the major beneficiaries of the Auditors opinion, which are the management of the company. The investing public and regulatory bodies rely on the opinion of the external auditors in basing their own assertions of the financial strengths of the company. This shows the level of importance attached to the auditor's final report.
This study aims to critically examines the procedure adopted by public companies in the appointed and removal of their external auditor with a view to
• Establishing, if auditors have a good knowledge of their removal before hand.
• Determine the reasons for the removal of an external auditor.
• Determine it laid down law governing removal and appointment of auditors are competent, and if they are followed by public companies.
• Determine it directors have under influence over the removal and appointment of external Auditors.
• If shareholders are given the chance to vote during public companies AGM for or against the removal of the existing company auditors.
For knowledge of these would help in ensuring that auditors of companies are credible and accepted by all shareholders in the company hence ensuring proficiency of the final report.
The objective of this research work is to examine the procedures adopted by public companies in the appointment and removal of their external auditors using orange Drugs Nigeria limited in Imo State as a case study. This prompted reasonable question to be asked from the management staff and shareholders through company secretary so that answers given could be used as a basis of judgment on the efficiency of the procedure used in appointing and terminating the appointment of auditors of public limited companies.
• Does the company with the company and allied matters decree, 1990 in the appointment and removal of the external Auditors.
• If shareholders are aware of their duty in the appointment and removal of the auditors.
• It company directors use their power to intimidate the external auditor
• Do shareholders fulfill their role in the appointment and removal of all the external auditors accordingly
• If auditors were present at the annual general meeting, that removed and appointed the respectively.
• What role do the audit committee plays in the appointment and remuneration fixing of the new auditors as required by 5.351 a CAMA 90
1.6 RESEARCH HYPOTHESIS
Based on the objectives of these studies, the following hypothesis are stated to guide the study
H0¬: An examination of the procedure does not lead to appointment and removal of external auditor in public limited liability company,
H1: An examination of the procedure lead to appointment and removal external auditor in public limited liability company.
H0: The procedure for appointment and removal of External auditors has a negative impact to public limited liability Company
H1: The procedure for appointment and removal of external auditors has a positive impact to public limited liability company.
Auditors as the nature of their job and terms of employment are supposed to be persons who exhibit due care, skill, and diligence in the performance of their final reports attracts a large generality of stakeholders and improper reports has the possibility of rocking the life boat that helps the company keep a float and stay in business.
The research into the procedure for their appointment and removal is very significant because it reduces the risk of the company collapsing due to fraudulent practices likely to be perpetuated by top management if proper auditing of the accounts of the firm is not done to ensure compliance with company rules and regulations.
Also, the research aims to help the company plan the process for the removal of auditors in accordance with laid down provisions of CAMA 90
It aims to reduce the risk of management of public companies having undue influence over the affair of the external auditors.
This study also aims to ensure that the general public is familiar with the procedure for appointment and removal of external auditors so they have knowledge on the credibility and reliability of external auditors appointed by the form and hence can accept or reject the auditor's attestation.
The study is intended to cover all auditors' processes of appointment and removal but due to the researchers inability to reach all possible companies and auditors a case study of orange Drugs Nigeria limited Imo State was used to form a generalization of the intended recipients of the study.

my premed journey: is medicine for me?
In my previous post, I talked about how I chose which college to attend after high school. Next, I'll be talking about how I decided I wanted to pursue the premed route and eventually apply to medical school. While I knew that I found science moderately interesting, I knew I needed to expose myself to clinical settings to really understand medicine, what it was all about and whether that was what I wanted to spend my life doing.
When I first found out about the All Members Advocacy Meeting, I was immediately intrigued. As someone who is very passionate about social justice and being an advocate for her future patients, I made attending this event a priority.
One of my biggest fears with progressing in my journey to become a physician is becoming complacent and apathetic towards the needs of those in my community and the world at large. So many times I've come across physicians who believe that because they practice medicine, they are excused from paying attention to the injustices in this world. So to avoid this, I try hard to put myself in spaces of critically thinking healthcare providers such as AMAM.
As I've said before, hubs and I try to take a short trip after every block. At our school we only have finals so that really adds a lot of stress to each set of exams since our entire grade rides on that. With all the stress of trying to figure out my new schedule for boards and remediation, I didn't get to plan anything in advance. Last minute, we decided to have an overnight stay-cation in downtown Los Angeles. Then we realized that we're not hip enough to hang out there and then decided to go to Pasadena instead.
Because it was so last minute, all the hotels were going to be really expensive so we decided to try out Airbnb. I'll hopefully have another post separately on advice on using Airbnb in the next few weeks.
I've been living in California for well over a decade but still haven't really explored all the touristy spots in SoCal. Because we wanted to stay local for our trip, we decided to go to Pasadena and check out places around there. Our first stop was The Huntington. I've included some photos below from my 'real' camera.


Symbionts from the microbial flora may be seen as "expansion packs" as they provide an accessory genome to their hosts. Thereby, they confer additional functions such as treatment of otherwise undigestible metabolites and improved disease resistance. I am particularly interested in the latter aspect.

Furunculosis is a major opportunistic infection affecting salmonids worldwide. The brook charr (Salvelinus fontinalis), primary salmonid species in Quebec aquaculture, is heavily affected by this disease. The etiological agent, Aeromonas salmonicida, is naturally present in the resident microbial community of salmonids.
Under inadequate conditions, however, the pathogen undergoes a shift in virulence as a response to the destabilisation of the host microbial flora. Currently available methods to treat furunculosis have been pushed to their limits, as they either favour antibiotic resistance or induce harmful adverse effects to the farmed fish. Endogenous probiotics are a promising alternative, since they are innocuous to the fish itself, to the environment and to human consumers. In this study, we use in vitro antagonism screening assays and next-generation sequencing to unravel efficient probiotic candidates from the brook charr against A. salmonicida.

Pain, horror, fear-these are the things that bestselling novelist Lance Metzger's life have been comprised of. His childhood remains a riddled wasteland of abuse by a sadistic father and the abandonment of an apathetic mother. In turn, his only refuge became his writing.
When Lance loses his ability to write and becomes haunted by a nightmare that he'd thought was buried, he is drawn inexplicably to a house on the shores of Lake Superior, where he finds his muse once again-but something is waiting for him when he arrives.

Dr. Tatsushi (Tats) Arai is an Associate Professor at Kent State University's School of Peace and Conflict Studies. He is a peace researcher and conflict resolution practitioner with twenty years of international experience. Dr. Arai has led or advised conflict resolution initiatives in over twenty countries across Asia, Africa, and the Middle East as well as in the United States. Prior to joining Kent State in 2019, Dr. Arai had served as a United Nations Senior Mediation Advisor on a when-actually-employed basis and as a Sergio de Mello Endowed Visiting Chair in the Practice of Post-Conflict Diplomacy at Seton Hall University in New Jersey. He was also a Professor of Peacebuilding and Conflict Transformation at the School for International Training (SIT) Graduate Institute in Vermont and previously taught international relations at the National University of Rwanda in the aftermath of the 1994 genocide. He received a PhD from George Mason University's School for Conflict Analysis and Resolution (S-CAR) in 2005 and S-CAR's Distinguish Alumnus Award in 2015.
Dr. Arai's research focuses broadly on peacebuilding and multi-track diplomacy (engaging both government and civil society actors) with a sustained commitment to resolving large-scale intractable conflicts. Dr. Arai's current research explores (1) how to foster functional coexistence between adversaries who view each other as an existential threat, (2) an integrated approach to peacebuilding and development, and (3) contributions of applied practice to methodological innovations in action research.
Dr. Arai's latest peacebuilding practice as a mediator, dialogue facilitator, trainer, mentor, and designer of systemic social change includes supporting a Nigerian-led initiative in building a sustainable reconciliation platform for the reintegration of rehabilitated former Boko Haram members into their home communities; training Syrian and Lebanese humanitarian professionals in mediation skills; facilitating capacity-building workshops for diplomats from Muslim-majority countries; promoting interfaith and inter-communal coexistence in Myanmar and Singapore, and conducting Interactive Conflict Resolution workshops on the Taiwan Strait as well as on China-Japan relations. (Dr Arai's TED Talk on his peacebuilding practice is available here.)
