Stanley Hudson Dodwell (1878–1960), CBE was a British businessperson and politician who was active in Hong Kong. He served as the chairman of Dodwell & Co. and member of the Legislative Council and the Executive Council of Hong Kong.

Business career
S. H. Dodwell was a nephew of George Benjamin Dodwell, founder of Dodwell & Co., which was one of the leading British merchant firms in the late 19th and early 20th century. He joined the company in January 1897 and began with a salary of £30 per annum. In 1899 Dodwell became the company's representative on the Baltic Shipping Exchange, responsible for arranging tonnage to fill Dodwell & Company's turns on the New York berth. He took charge of the firm from his uncle in 1912 and remained as chairman until 1953.

Besides his own firm, he was also on the board of many local leading companies. He was a director of the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation and was elected chairman in 1912. He was also chairman of the Union Insurance Society of Canton and the British Traders' Insurance Co., and member of the Consulting Committee of Shewan Tomes & Co. among others.

Public services
He was an unofficial member of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong on multiple occasions for decades. In June 1917 he was appointed an unofficial member on the Legislative Council during Henry Pollock's leave, again in October 1918 for Edward Shellim, and as a substitute for Robert Gordon Shewan in March 1919 and January 1920. He again served on the Legislative Council from 1936 to 1941. In April 1936, he was appointed for a four-year term on William Shenton's resignation and was reappointed in April 1940.

Dodwell was also a member of the Executive Council numerous times. He was appointed on Henry Pollock's absence in October 1936, July 1938, and September 1940, and on J. J. Paterson's absence in March 1939 and March 1941.

He was also a member of the Medical Board, the Authorized Architects' Committee, and the Board of War Taxation, which the government set up for raising revenue for the war preparation on the eve of the Pacific War. Dodwell, however, strongly opposed the new Income Tax Bill presented by the Hong Kong Government. He feared the new taxation would drive out industrial enterprises and capital and prevent new ones from coming in, and the tax collecting would be too costly. He demanded some amendments of the bill and asked for an enquiry into the wartime departments to be set up for providing jobs for senior and former government officials.

Dodwell was part of the Hong Kong Volunteer Defence Corps. In 1938, the governor combined the advisory committees for the Hong Kong Volunteer Defence Corps and Hong Kong Naval Volunteer into the advisory committee of the Volunteer Advisory Committee. Dodwell was appointed a member of the newly formed committee for military advice.

He lived in Perth, Australia during the war and became the chairman of the East Asian Residents' Association, which consisted of Far Eastern residents who had fled from the Japanese-occupied territories. He stationed in London for the Dodwell & Co. after the war.

He was awarded the Commander of the Order of the British Empire in June 1947 for his public services in Hong Kong.

Personal life
He was the captain of the Royal Hong Kong Golf Club from 1916 to 1917. He was still a keen golfer in his later life.

Dodwell married Phoebe Joyce Butlin (1889–1976) of London. Their son Michael Carr Dodwell, who was part of the Hong Kong Volunteer Defence Corps, died on 15 May 1944 at the age of 21 and was buried at the Stanley Military Cemetery.

HomeReportsInternational Religious Freedom Reports...Custom Report - feecb6d23e
Abuses by Foreign Forces and Nonstate Actors
The constitution bars the federal and state governments from adopting a state religion, prohibits religious discrimination, and provides for individuals' freedom to choose, practice, propagate, or change their religion. Human rights groups continued to report the federal government often failed to prevent, quell, or respond to violence affecting religious groups, particularly in the northeastern and central regions of the country. In November Kano State police fired tear gas and bullets, killing three members of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN) during its annual Ashura procession. The government continued to detain the leader of the IMN, the country's largest Shia group, and restrict the activities, free movement, and free association of its members. There were no reports of accountability for soldiers implicated in the December 2015 clash between the army and IMN members that, according to a Kaduna State government report and reports from nongovernment observers, left at least 348 IMN members and one soldier dead, with IMN members buried in a mass grave. A pending bill in Kaduna State would require all preachers to obtain preaching licenses or risk fines and/or imprisonment for up to two years. The draft generated widespread opposition from both Muslim and Christian groups, who cited fears that such steps would lead to broader government restrictions on religious organizations and general religious activity. Members of regional minority religious groups said some state and local government laws continued to discriminate against them, including by limiting their rights to freedom of expression and assembly and obtaining government employment.
The terrorist organization Boko Haram and its splinter organization the Islamic State-West Africa (ISIS-WA) continued carrying out numerous attacks, committing mass killings, and targeting civilians. Nigeria Watch estimated activities by Boko Haram and ISIS-WA resulted in the deaths of 1,794 persons during the year, including members of the two groups, a decrease from the 2,900 deaths recorded in 2016. According to media reports, in September members of Boko Haram killed Chief Imam Ustaz Goni Bukar Tabare and four people in Magumeri, Borno State.
There were incidents of killings and other violence which observers stated were motivated in part by religion, although they said there were other contributing factors, including ethnicity, corruption, criminality, and conflict over grazing rights. In Kaduna State clashes between mainly Christian farmers from various ethnic groups and mainly Muslim Fulani herders in January, February, and July resulted in the deaths of dozens of persons. In June ethnic Mambilla tribesmen in Taraba State attacked dozens of Fulani settlements, resulting in the deaths of dozens of individuals. In September Fulani herdsmen attacked villages in Plateau state, killing 19 persons.
Embassy officials met with Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, state governors, National Assembly leaders, and other senior federal and state government officials to discuss religious freedom and tolerance, and encouraged them to address interreligious violence and take timely legal action against perpetrators of violence. In meetings with leaders of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and Jama'atu Nasril Islam, the national Islamic umbrella organization, to discuss religious freedom, embassy officers affirmed U.S. support for efforts to combat Boko Haram and ISIS-WA and reviewed efforts to improve relations between Christians and Muslims throughout the country. In April the embassy sponsored a conference that brought together farmers and pastoralists from 16 states and discussed triggers of violence, including religious triggers.
The U.S. government estimates the total population at 190.6 million (July 2017 estimate). A 2012 survey by the Pew Research Center's Forum on Religion and Public Life estimated the population to be 49.3 percent Christian and 48.8 percent Muslim, while the remaining 2 percent belong to other or no religions. Many individuals combine indigenous beliefs and practices with Islam or Christianity. A 2010 Pew report found 38 percent of the Muslim population self-identified as Sunni and 12 percent as Shia, with the remainder declining to answer or identifying as "something else" (5 percent) or "Just a Muslim" (42 percent). Included among the Sunnis are several Sufi groups, including Tijaniyah and Qadiriyyah. There are also Izala (Salafist) minorities and small numbers of Ahmadi Muslims. Christian groups include evangelicals, Roman Catholics, Anglicans, Pentecostals, Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons), and Jehovah's Witnesses. Other groups include Jews, Bahais, and individuals who do not follow any religion.
The Hausa-Fulani and Kanuri ethnic groups are most prevalent in the predominantly Muslim northern states. Significant numbers of Christians, including some Hausa-Fulani and Kanuri, also reside in the north, and Christians and Muslims reside in approximately equal numbers in the central part of the country and in the southwestern states, including Lagos, where the Yoruba ethnic group, whose members include both Muslims and Christians, predominates. In the southeastern states, where the Igbo ethnic group is dominant, Christian groups, including Catholics, Anglicans, and Methodists, constitute the majority. In the Niger Delta region, where the Ogoni and Ijaw ethnic groups predominate, Christians form a substantial majority, and a very small minority of the population is Muslim. Evangelical Christian denominations are growing rapidly in the central and southern regions. Ahmadi Muslims maintain a small presence in several cities, including Lagos and Abuja.
The constitution stipulates neither the federal nor the state governments shall establish a state religion and prohibits discrimination on religious grounds. It provides for freedom of thought, conscience, and religion, including the freedom to change religion and to manifest and propagate religion "in worship, teaching, practice, and observance," provided these rights are consistent with the interests of defense, public safety, order, morality, or health, and protecting the rights of others. The constitution also states it shall be the duty of the state to encourage interfaith marriages and to promote the formation of associations that cut across religious lines and promote "national integration." It prohibits political parties that limit membership on the basis of religion or with names that have a religious connotation.
The constitution provides for state-level courts based on common or customary law systems, which have operated in the region for centuries. It specifically recognizes sharia courts of appeal in any states that require it, with jurisdiction over civil proceedings such as marriage, inheritance, and other family matters, where all the parties are Muslims. Sharia courts hear criminal cases in 12 northern states. State laws on sharia criminal courts vary, but at least one state, Zamfara, requires that criminal cases in which all litigants are Muslim be heard in sharia courts. According to state laws, sharia courts may pass sentences based on the sharia penal code, including hudood offenses (serious criminal offenses with punishments prescribed in the Quran) and prescribe punishments, such as caning, amputation, and death by stoning. State laws dictate non-Muslims have the option to try their cases in sharia courts if involved in civil or criminal disputes with Muslims. Common law courts hear the cases of non-Muslims and Muslims (in states where they have the option) who choose not to use sharia courts. Sharia courts do not have the authority to compel participation by non-Muslims. Aggrieved parties may appeal sharia court judgments to three levels of sharia appellate courts. According to the constitution, decisions by the state sharia courts of appeal (the highest level of the sharia courts) theoretically can be appealed to the Federal Court of Appeal and then to the Supreme Court, although none have been.
Kano and Zamfara's state-sanctioned Hisbah Boards regulate Islamic religious affairs and preaching, distribute licenses to imams, and attempt to resolve religious disputes between Muslims in those states. The states of Bauchi, Borno, Katsina, and Yobe maintain state-level Christian and Muslim religious affairs ministries or bureaus with varying mandates and authorities, while many other state governors appoint interfaith special advisers on religious affairs.
In order to build places of worship, open bank accounts, receive tax exemptions, or sign contracts, religious groups must register with the Corporate Affairs Commission as an incorporated trustee, which involves submitting an application form, proof of public notice, a copy of the organization's constitution, a list of trustees, and a fee of 20,000 naira ($56).
Both federal and state governments have the authority to regulate mandatory religious instruction in public schools. The constitution states schools may not require students to receive religious instruction or to participate in or attend any religious ceremony or observance pertaining to any religion other than their own. State officials and many religious leaders have stated students have the right to request a teacher of their own religious beliefs to provide an alternative to any instruction offered in a religion other than their own. The constitution also says no religious community will be prevented from providing religious instruction to students of that community in any place maintained wholly by that community.
Several states have laws requiring licenses for preachers, places of worship, and religious schools of registered religious groups. A Katsina State law establishes a board with the authority to regulate Islamic schools, preachers, and mosques, including issuing permits, suspending operations, and imprisoning or fining violators. The Katsina law stipulates a punishment of one to five years in prison and/or a fine of up to 500,000 naira ($1,400) for operating without a license.
Summary Paragraph: In November Kano State police fired tear gas and bullets, killing three members of the IMN during its annual Ashura procession. The government continued to detain Sheikh Ibraheem El-Zakzaky, leader of the IMN, the largest Shia Muslim group in the country, despite a court order that he be released by January 15. There were no reports of accountability for soldiers implicated in the December 2015 clash between the army and IMN members that, according to a Kaduna State government report, left at least 348 IMN members and one soldier dead, with IMN members buried in a mass grave. Some Christian groups reported a lack of protection by government authorities for churches and Christian communities, especially in the central and northern regions. They reported discrimination in acquiring land permits to build churches and in admission to universities in the north. Muslims living in predominantly Christian states reported discrimination by state governments against such practices as women wearing the hijab. There were continued conflicts between migrant ethnic groups, known as settlers, who were mainly Muslim, and longstanding residents or indigenes, who were mainly Christian, which the groups accused the federal government of ignoring. Farmer-herder violence remained a form of the indigene-settler conflict, since herders were generally not seen as indigenous to the land by farmers. The differences between the indigenes and settlers were frequently religious as well as ethnic and economic. State governments often granted preferential treatment, for example in access to education and jobs, to indigenes over settlers.
According to international reports, on November 5, Kano State police fired tear gas and bullets, killing three IMN members during the group's annual Ashura procession. Police arrested 10 members. The police spokesperson stated the IMN ignored instructions from police not to hold the procession.
The government stated publicly that Sheikh Zakzaky, leader of the IMN and a prominent Shia cleric, would remain in what it said was "protective custody" pending appeal of the December 2016 decision of Federal High Court in Abuja that the government must release him. At year's end, Zakzaky remained in prison. The court also ruled the government must provide him with a house and pay him and his wife restitution of 25 million naira ($69,600) by January 15; at year's end, the court's order had yet to be followed.
There were no reports of accountability for soldiers implicated in the December 2015 clash between the army and IMN members that, according to a Kaduna State government report, left at least 348 IMN members and one soldier dead. Dozens of IMN members were still being held since December 2015, charged with the death of the soldier. In August Acting President Osinbajo announced the creation of a Presidential Investigative Panel that committed to transparently and credibly investigating human rights abuses committed by the military. On August 17, the IMN publicly stated it would boycott the panel because it doubted the panel's sincerity. Outside human rights observers also expressed concern over lack of transparency and rigor of the panel. At year's end, the panel's findings were not yet available.
According to local media reports, the 23rd Armored Brigade of the Nigerian Army in Yola, Adamawa State, began an investigation into the disruption of an Assemblies of God church service in March by men in military uniforms but without nametags. Media reported the church had been affected by a leadership crisis, and a clergy member representing a rival faction in the leadership struggle reportedly invited the soldiers to enter the church and remove the presiding pastor. An army spokesperson stated that the army sent no personnel to the church and would investigate whether the attackers were in fact soldiers.
Both Muslim and Christian groups said there was a lack of just handling of their mutual disputes and inadequate protection by federal, state, and local authorities, especially in central regions, where there were longstanding, violent disputes between Hausa and Fulani Muslims and Christian ethnic groups. In disputes between primarily Christian farmers and Muslim herders, herders stated they did not receive justice when their members were killed or their cattle stolen by the farming community, which they said caused them to carry out retaliatory attacks. Farmers stated security forces did not intervene when their villages were being attacked by herdsmen.
A pending bill in Kaduna State would require all preachers to obtain preaching licenses or risk fines and/or imprisonment for up to two years. The bill was introduced in 2016 in the state legislature and remained pending at year's end. Deputy Governor of Kaduna State Barnabas Bala said the bill was proposed to protect the state from religious extremism and hate speech. The bill would also restrict playing religious recordings at certain times and places as well as prohibit "abusive" religious speech, which it did not define further. The draft bill generated widespread opposition from both Muslim and Christian groups, who cited fears that such steps would lead to broader government restrictions on religious organizations and general religious activity.
The media regularly reported on claims by Christian leaders and organizations that northern leaders, backed by the federal government, were engaged in an effort to Islamize the country. In September Caritas Nigeria stated a bill to regulate nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) would give the federal government authority to regulate churches, which are registered as incorporated trustees and thus fall under the category of NGO, and thereby provide the government authority to restrict the activity of churches and promote Islam. The National Assembly member who introduced the bill responded that the bill's intent was to ensure transparency and accountability in the way NGOs collected and used funds, and he said the bill would not affect mosques or churches. Also in September, CAN reported that the federal government's proposal to issue Sukuk bonds, an Islamic financial certificate, was in violation of the country's secular constitution and an attempt to Islamize the country. The minister of information responded that the Sukuk bond issuance was an attempt at financial inclusiveness, and the difference between a Sukuk bond and other bonds was that Sukuk bonds paid no interest.
In December BBC and other media reported that Amasa Firdaus, a law graduate from Ilorin University, was denied admission to the "call to bar" ceremony because she wore a hijab to the ceremony in what her law school said was violation of its dress code.
Christian groups reported authorities in northern states continued to deny building permits to minority religious communities for the construction of new places of worship, expansion, and renovation of existing facilities, or reconstruction of buildings that had been demolished. Christian religious leaders in Adamawa complained that Christians in Yola, Adamawa State, could not obtain permits to purchase land for churches. They said that Christians built the churches anyway, but remained vulnerable when governments decided to demolish them, such as what occurred in Jigawa State. In January the Jigawa State government demolished churches belonging to the Redeemed Christian Church of God and the Lord Chosen God in the state capital, Dutse. The state government said the churches were built illegally and the churches had been given three notices to stop development. CAN said the churches did not receive a response from the government for their land permit application. In Ekiti State in April, the state government was reportedly prepared to demolish a mosque in the state capital, Ado Ekiti. After protests, the governor and Muslim leaders in the state were able to reach an agreement, and the government allowed the mosque to remain, despite not having a permit.
The Hisbah continued to arrest street beggars and prostitutes, and destroy confiscated bottles of alcohol. There were no reports of Christians being forced to use sharia courts.
Christian and Muslim groups continued to report that individual administrators of government-run universities and technical schools in several states refused to admit certain individuals or delayed the issuance of their degrees and licenses because of religion or ethnicity. For example, in Borno State, Christian religious leaders said it is very difficult for Christians to be admitted into certain schools at the University of Maiduguri, especially medicine and engineering, where Muslims make up over 90 percent of the student body. They also stated that Christianity was not offered for the religious studies courses in many public schools in Maiduguri and northern Borno, only Islam. Muslim leaders in Jos, Plateau State, complained that local governments in Plateau discriminated against Muslim residents regarding land purchases, admittance to universities, and access to government jobs. According to Christian and Muslim groups and NGOs such as Human Rights Watch, the issue was connected to the country's indigene-settler conflict, whereby state governments granted benefits, such as access to government services, to ethnic groups considered to be indigenous to a particular state and distinguished them from ethnic groups considered to be settlers, even if their families had lived in the state for generations. In certain states, especially in the Middle Belt, the divide between Christian indigenes and Muslim settlers was religious as well as ethnic and economic.
In February the Kwara State government hosted an international conference on security and peaceful coexistence, which included Muslim and Christian religious leaders. During his remarks, the Sultan of Sokoto, Sa'ad Abubakar, the spiritual leader of Muslims in Nigeria, said "God did not make a mistake when he created us as Nigerians and put us together. We must understand that and all of us who profess to be Christians or Muslims have a guide which is either the Quran or Bible. In these two major religions there is nowhere where killing of innocent people is allowed." In July more than 480 participants, including the Army Special Task Force, local government officials, and Christian and Muslim community leaders, met in Kafanchan to discuss establishing peace in the area and address grievances of victims of the communal violence. In January the governments of Nasarawa and Benue States worked together to enact a peace agreement between predominantly Muslim herdsmen and predominantly Christian farmers in Agatu, Benue State, after the January 2016 attack on the Christian community by herdsmen left more than 300 farmers dead.
According to press reports, in April Senate President Bukola Saraki stated: "….whatever laws we pass here, will be respectful to the religious beliefs of our people. We will not do anything that will in anyway go against that."
The U.S.-designated terrorist organization Boko Haram split into two factions in 2016, one pledging allegiance to ISIS and calling itself the Islamic State of West Africa (ISIS-WA), headed by Abu Musab al Barnawi, and another headed by Abubakar Shekau and retaining the traditional Boko Haram name, the Jama'atu Ahl as-Sunnah li-Da'awati wal-Jihad (JASDJ). Most residents and government officials referred to both groups collectively as Boko Haram.
Boko Haram and ISIS-WA continued to attack population centers and security personnel in the states of Adamawa, Borno, and Yobe. Vulnerable populations, notably those perceived as disagreeing with the groups' political or religious beliefs or those perceived as interfering with their access to resources, were targeted by the groups. There were multiple reports of Boko Haram killing scores of unarmed civilians. On November 21, Boko Haram blew up a mosque in Mubi, Adamawa State, resulting in the deaths of 50 worshippers.
While Boko Haram no longer controlled as much territory as it once did, the two insurgencies maintained the ability to stage forces in rural areas and launched attacks against civilian and military targets across the Northeast. On November 25, ISIS-WA militants launched an attack on Magumeri town in Magumeri local government area of Borno State, but security forces were able to repel them. From these areas of influence, the groups were still capable of carrying out complex attacks on military positions, and they deployed large numbers of roadside improvised explosive devices. According to estimates from NGO Nigeria Watch, which did not appear to differentiate between Boko Haram and ISIS-WA, 1,794 persons, including Boko Haram members, died as a result of the group's activities during the year, compared with 2,900 killed in 2016. The Adamawa State chapter of the country's Muslim Council reported that Boko Haram killed more than 5,247 Muslims since 2013 in Adamawa State. According to reports, Boko Haram killed more than 500 Catholics in Borno State since the insurgency began.
Approximately half of the students abducted by Boko Haram from the Chibok Government Girls Secondary School in 2014 remained in captivity. The government successfully negotiated the release of 82 of the kidnapped students in May, in addition to the 21 students released in October 2016. According to media reports, in September members of Boko Haram killed Chief Imam Ustaz Goni Bukar Tabare and four other individuals in Magumeri, Borno State. CAN reported more than 900 churches were destroyed by Boko Haram in the northeast since the insurgency began.
Summary paragraph: There were incidents of killings and other forms of violence between members of different religious groups. Many killings occurred between farmers and herders in the central Middle Belt region, where farmers are predominantly Christian and from various ethnic groups, and herders are predominantly Fulani Muslims. This violence included religious differences as a factor, according to scholars and other experts, but also involved ethnicity, politics, and increasing competition over dwindling land resources as a result of population growth, soil degradation, and internal displacement from other forms of violence and criminality occurring in the north. Participants at an April conference identified 13 triggers to farmer-herder conflicts and offered recommendations for peace. Among these triggers of violence was incitement by religious leaders and inaccurate reporting by media, which tended to divide religious communities. Among the solutions identified was to increase interfaith dialogue and initiate sensitization programs. Media reported on claims by Christian groups that northern leaders were engaged in an agenda to Islamize the country. For example, the National Christian Elders Forum issued a communique in July warning of jihad and "brazen" attempts at Islamizing the country. At a CAN-sponsored meeting of Christian leaders in November, participants issued a resolution calling for the National Assembly to withdraw the country from the Organization of Islamic Countries and other Islamic organizations.
On December 22, gunmen suspected of being Fulani herdsmen opened fire on a congregation, killing four and injuring 10 in Nindem, Kaduna State. A report from the Fulani community in southern Kaduna, however, said the attack in Nindem was not perpetrated by Fulani, but was possibly a conflict within the Nindem community. On December 24, a suspected Fulani herdsman attacked a village, Ungwan Mailafiya, in Jema'a Local Government Area and killed six persons. The same Fulani community source said the attack in Ungwan Mailafiya may have been carried out by a Fulani man whose son was killed in the village by local persons. He said authorities were still looking for the man.
On January 21, unknown gunmen opened fire on a Fulani settlement in Kaura Local Government Area of southern Kaduna, killing a pastoralist, 13-year old Yahaya Musa. In retaliation, on February 20 Fulani herdsmen attacked and killed 31 individuals in villages in the same area. In another attack later that day, suspected Fulani herdsmen attacked Zunuruk village in the same area, but were repelled by local residents, resulting in the death of some of the attackers. On February 21, a clash broke out between ethnic Hausa (predominantly Muslim) and Kanikon residents of Kafanchan, the largest city in southern Kaduna, when both groups went to claim dead bodies at the morgue, resulting in a number of deaths, including of two policemen. Some Kanikon residents reportedly assumed the Hausa residents came to claim the bodies of the attackers who were killed in the previous day's violence. On February 22, police deployed a team of special forces to the troubled area.
According to media reports, on April 15, 12 worshippers died and many more were injured in Asso village in Kaduna state when Fulani herdsmen opened fire on an Easter Vigil service. Media said the attackers boasted about disrupting the Easter celebration.
From June 17-20, ethnic Mambilla residents of the Mambilla Plateau of Taraba State attacked dozens of Fulani settlements throughout the plateau, killing dozens of Fulanis and hundreds of cattle. On June 21, Acting President Osinbajo sent in troops to restore order. Thousands of Fulani residents of the Mambilla Plateau fled into neighboring Cameroon to seek refuge. On July 4, CAN and the Muslim Council of Nigeria brought leaders of the two communities together in a reconciliation summit, but the Fulani leaders walked out and vowed not to engage in reconciliation until those involved in the attacks were brought to justice.
From July 15-17, ethnic Fulani herdsmen and Kadara local residents clashed in Kajuru in Kaduna State, resulting in the deaths of 27 Fulani and six Kadara individuals. Media reports said the clash was the result of an incident days before when Kadara youths killed a Fulani boy who was considered to be a bandit engaged in criminal activities in the area. Fulani youths then reportedly in revenge killed six Kadara youths who were allegedly involved in the initial killing. Immediately after, Kadara youths attacked several Fulani settlements, burning tents and killing approximately 17 Fulanis. Security officials arrived to restore calm soon after, but when they departed, Kadara youths attacked other Fulani settlements and killed an estimated 10 persons. Acting President Yemi Osinbajo ordered additional security reinforcements to the area.
On September 8, Fulani herdsmen attacked villages in Bassa, Plateau State, killing 19 ethnic Irigwe residents, who are mainly Christian, and injuring five. The Plateau State commissioner of police said the attack was in retaliation for the killing of a Fulani boy on August 3. President Muhammadu Buhari condemned the attack, and the government sent a military task force to provide security to the affected community. On September 11, military personnel repelled another attack by Fulani gunmen, killing five. On November 20, ethnic Bachama local residents, who are predominantly Christian, killed more than 50 predominantly Fulani pastoralists in Numan Local Government Area of Adamawa State. The victims were women and children as the attack was carried out while the men were either in town or grazing cattle. The attack was in retaliation for the killing of a Bachama farmer by an unknown gunman, whom local residents suspected of being a Fulani herdsman.
In July a female suicide bomber killed eight individuals and wounded 18 before morning prayer at a mosque in Maiduguri. In January authorities thwarted a suicide bombing near a mosque in Maiduguri when, according to reports, a civilian self-defense force member stopped the bomber from reaching the mosque. Both died in the ensuing explosion.
In June traditional religious practitioners, known as masquerades, attacked a mosque in Moba Local Government Area of Ekiti State, injuring five worshippers, including the imam. The masquerades warned the Muslims against conducting their prayer service while the traditionalists were engaged in their festival, called Egungun.
A Lagos-based NGO, Muslim Rights Concern, said Muslim female students were not allowed to wear the hijab at Adeleke University in Osun State and Afe Babalola University in Ekiti State, both private universities.
According to international reports, in Kaduna State members of the IMN visited three churches to celebrate Christmas with Christians. The IMN advocated for religious tolerance and peaceful coexistence during the visits.
Many religious leaders publicly supported tolerance and interfaith cooperation to resolve conflicts. In January the King Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz International Center for Interreligious and Intercultural Dialogue hosted a two-day conference on inclusive and sustainable interreligious dialogue. At the conference, the Sultan of Sokoto condemned what he said was increased hate preaching in the country.
In January religious and political leaders conducted a peace and reconciliation mission to southern Kaduna in an effort to stem the violence between mainly Christian farmers and mostly Muslim herders. The delegation included former Head of State General Abdulsalami Abubakar, Cardinal John Onaiyekan, Bishop Matthew Kukah, and Sultan of Sokoto Sa'ad Abubakar. General Abubakar said there is no religion that preaches violence, and criminals must be brought to justice to ensure peace.
In January 100 Christian and Muslim religious leaders came together to found the Interfaith Dialogue Forum for Peace (IDFP), a forum of Christian and Muslim representatives to address emerging interfaith issues, primarily in the troubled areas of Kaduna, Plateau, Yobe, Taraba, Borno and Adamawa States. The religious leaders selected Sultan of Sokoto Sa'ad Abubakar and Chairman of CAN Samson Ayokunle to head the IDFP. Its board of trustees includes eminent religious and traditional rulers from throughout the country.
On national hijab day on February 1, a coalition of women's groups held a press conference in Alausa, in which the women discussed wearing of the hijab as their inalienable constitutional right that must always be protected by the government through laws.
U.S. embassy staff and visiting U.S. government officials promoted religious freedom and tolerance in discussions throughout the year with government officials, religious leaders, and civil society organizations. In February the Ambassador met with the minister of foreign affairs to express U.S. support for efforts to strengthen religious freedom and combat violent extremism, especially in the northeast. In March the Ambassador met with the Governor of Plateau State to discuss his efforts to foster peace and build trust between Muslim and Christian communities after years of intense ethnoreligious conflicts. In August a U.S. embassy official hosted a meeting for officials from the ministries of agriculture and interior, the national police, military, and the Senate and House of Representatives to discuss recommendations to reduce farmer-herder violence in the country. In October the Ambassador met with the Governor of Kano State to discuss efforts to combat violent extremism.
In January the embassy hosted a roundtable discussion with Muslim and Christian religious leaders to reiterate U.S. support for religious freedom and encourage greater interfaith coordination between leaders of the two faiths in order to strengthen unity in the country. In February the Ambassador met with the president of CAN to encourage continued efforts at interfaith dialogue between the Christian and Muslim communities. In April the embassy sponsored a farmer-herder conference that brought together farmers and pastoralists at the community level from 16 states, who discussed triggers of violence, including religious triggers. In August the Ambassador and other U.S. embassy officials held a roundtable discussion with religious leaders, including members of CAN and the Jama'atu Nasril Islam, the Islamic umbrella association, to assure U.S. support for interfaith efforts aimed at resolving tensions between religious communities.
In November the Deputy Secretary of State met with Muslim and Christian religious leaders to express U.S. support for interfaith cooperation and encourage greater efforts.
The U.S. Consul General in Lagos continued to discuss religious tolerance and interfaith relationship building with a wide range of religious leaders.

Republicans bolstered as Democrats hopes fall short in state legislative races
Tim Craig
November 5, 2020 at 1:05 a.m. UTC
Republicans fended off an effort by Democrats to revamp the balance of power in state legislatures, crushing expectations in Tuesday's election by easily maintaining state House majorities ahead of the drawing of new congressional districts next year.
Although some competitive state legislative races remained too close to call Wednesday, Republicans claimed victory after results showed Democrats would fall far short of their goal to flip as many as many as seven state legislative chambers. Amid a surge in Republican turnout, Democrats had not made any gains in the Texas House of Representatives by Wednesday evening and lost ground in several other states, including Iowa and North Carolina.
Republicans have claimed victory in taking control of both chambers of the New Hampshire legislature, snatching back the power Democrats had won in the 2018 midterm elections.
"I can't think of a worse failure for Democrats," said Austin Chambers, president of the Republican State Leadership Committee in a Wednesday afternoon news conference. "When this year started, they were talking about how they were going to flip everything, and we had as cocky of an opponent as we've ever been up against. . . . But it was an absolutely great night for state Republicans."
Democrats conceded Wednesday that they did not do as well as they had expected, but left out hope that they could still flip control of the Arizona House, where their candidates were locked in several tight races. Christina Polizzi, a spokeswoman of for the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee, said party leaders did not expect that GOP voters would show up in such large numbers to support Trump in the presidential contest.
"While some of the outcomes have been disappointing, they have not been surprising give the broader dynamics of the cycle," Polizzi said. "What surprised us — just as it did every pollster, journalist and Republican and Democratic strategist, was President Trump's overperformance in many states and the boost it would give to so many Republican congressional and state legislative candidates."
In all, among races that have already been called, Republicans appeared poised to net about 60 state House and more than a dozen state Senate seats nationwide, according to analysis by CNalysis, a political website that has been closely following the results. Republicans were especially successful in picking up Democratic-held seats in rural and working-class communities, which more than offset some Democrat wins.
The GOP victories will only bolster the advantage that the party held in many states heading into Tuesday's election.
Republicans control 59 out of the 99 state legislative chambers, an advantage that has allowed them to enact restrictions on voting and abortion rights, block expansion of Medicaid in some states, and hinder Democrats from imposing restrictions to combat the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Over the past year, amid a surge in spending from Democratic-aligned groups, Democrats campaigned aggressively to win legislative chambers in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Minnesota, Texas, Arizona and Iowa in hopes of giving their party more of a say over policy as well as the next round of congressional redistricting. That process begins next year after the conclusion of the 2020 census.
Chambers on Wednesday declared that the GOP gains on Tuesday now all but assures that Republicans can "secure a decade of power all across the country."
"Our state Republican leaders across the country are going to control redistricting," Chambers said. "And that is going to be a great thing for Republicans across the country."
Democrats' failure to pick up the Texas House, where they needed to flip nine seats, could be especially important for the GOP.
Texas's congressional delegation, already the second biggest in the nation, will likely grow by an additional two or three seats after the 2020 Census. The process will not likely be speared by Gov. Greg Abbott (R) and the two Republican-controlled chambers of the legislature.
But Democrats and independent analysts said the results of Tuesday's election were muddled enough that neither probably gained or lost much new ground when it comes to who will have the advantage during redistricting.
In several states where Republicans retained their legislative majorities — including Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin — the legislature will have to work with the Democratic governor to draw congressional boundaries.
Democrats were especially pleased that Republicans in Wisconsin failed on Tuesday to win a veto-proof majority in that sate's legislature. If they had, they would have been able to override Gov. Tony Evers (D) if he decides to veto a GOP-drawn congressional or state legislative map.
"Wisconsin is ground zero for Republicans rigging the maps, and this year we stopped the GOP from getting total power over the process again," the DLCC said in a Twitter post.
Several other states, including Arizona, have established independent redistricting commissions that will be charged with the districts, said Ben Williams, a policy specialist who works in the National Conference of State Legislatures' Redistricting and Elections Program.
"The story of the night really is continuity," Williams said of the election results.
Still, Williams said the lack of turnover in state legislative chambers this year defies more than a century of political history.
From the early 20th Century until the present, Williams said an average of 12 legislative chambers have flipped to the opposing party during a two-year cycle. In the cycle, there may be as few as four, including Democratic success last year in retaking control of the Virginia House of Delegates and the state Senate.
Williams said the growing reluctance of voters to cast bipartisan ballots may be to blame.
"It looks like if you voted one way at the top of the ticket, you probably voted that way down ballot," Williams said.
Chambers countered that state Republicans were so successful this year because they kept talking about local issues, including taxes and the economy. Chambers believes Democrats made a strategic blunder by trying to "nationalize" state legislative races into becoming another referendum on Trump.
"They tried to nationalize everything, and forgot voters understand Washington is different than their state capital," Chambers said. "And there is no sane person who doesn't understand they don't want their state capitals to be like Washington, D.C."

Decentralization by way of cloud computing and the rise of green information technology are future trends to look for, says Kamal Sharma, C.I.O. of Mindlance, an I.T. infrastructure provider.
Kamal Sharma, C.I.O. of Mindlance, an I.T. infrastructure provider, speaks to future trends in information technology: "The biggest trend of 2011 will be the continued decline of the traditional centralized I.T. department. There will growth in companies who will continue to align their I.T. professionals with individual business units rather than in a central services group. Cloud computing, Virtualization, Data centre consolidation, focus on efficiency improvement, ITIL frame work adaption, mobility and Green I.T. will be some of the highlights for the times to come."

Social Inclusion & Protection
We are a non-governmental, non-profit organization founded on the ideals of humanism, freedom, equality and solidarity. We work in the fields of humanitarian aid, human rights, education and social work.
People in Need was established in 1992 by a group of Czech war correspondents who were no longer satisfied with merely relaying information about ongoing conflicts and began sending out aid. It gradually became established as a professional humanitarian organization and lately it has grown to include other topics, like human rigths and education on its agenda.
Throughout its existence, People in Need has become one of the biggest non-profit organizations in Central Europe. In addition to humanitarian aid and human rights, it now also targets education and helps people living in social exclusion.
The Humanitarian Aid and Development department operates in more than 20 countries in Africa, Asia and Europe. It helps two and a half million people through 200 projects every year. It is by far the largest department of our organization. Originally, the department was focused on helping countries recover from catastrophes and war conflicts but now it also strives to tackle longer-term problems, such as shortage of safe drinking water, restricted access to quality education, poor healthcare services, social exclusion, and environmental degradation.
In areas affected by armed conflicts, such as Syria or Ukraine, we distribute not only food and food vouchers, but also try to help in lasting ways. We support the local markets and farming production, we involve local residents in public works and cooperate with local authorities to secure access to drinking water and garbage collection. We also help keep schools open and help children deal with psychological trauma.
Development cooperation tries to support people in their efforts to take themselves out of poverty. We often follow up on our humanitarian activities with development projects, so we can help prevent future crises or reduce their negative impact. We work on resolving long-term problems, such as lack of access to quality education and healthcare, poverty or deterioration of the environment.
We look for solutions with local residents, partner organizations and state administration, so that things can work in the long-term without our presence. In a number of countries we have focused on malnutrition, which negatively affects not only early development, but a person's whole life. Another priority is strengthening people's resilience, so they themselves can deal with disease, impact of armed conflicts and natural disasters. We are also working on a growing problem of inner-city poverty and supporting basic and vocational education.
In development cooperation, it is invaluable to include local residents in our activities, in order for our work to bring about real change. That is why in the countries, where we provide aid, we also try to improve the work of the public sector and support civil society actors, so they can better communicate with their representatives and defend their rights. We try to help the impoverished make use of new technologies and investments, whether it is a farmer in Cambodia, fruit-grower in Georgia or a shepherd in Mongolia.
We are part of Alliance2015, a strategic network of seven European non-governmental organizations engaged in humanitarian aid and development projects.
We provide Human Rights Support activities in more than 10 countries with repressive regimes. Our goals in this regard are to aid politically persecuted persons, support local civil society organizations and draw attention to human rights abuses by conducting various advocacy activities.
We work both in countries with authoritarian regimes, where basic human rights are suppressed, and civil society is paralyzed, as well as in countries going through transformation, where the Czech experience can be an inspiration for a newly developing civil society.
Every year our work helps hundreds of political prisoners and civil society organizations and conducts numerous events. One of them is the Homo Homini Prize which is awarded to individuals who have greatly contributed to the promotion of human rights, democracy and nonviolent solutions to political conflicts.
In the Czech Republic
Our Social Work in the Czech Republic programme contributes to solve social problems which trouble Czech society today. We assist several thousand people a year, and several hundred employees and volunteers work for us. We are helping people with debts – both directly by giving them advice and indirectly by advocating changes in the legal system which is strongly in favour of creditors, lawyers and distrainors, who often demand enormous fees.
Another part of our social work is helping poor and socially excluded families – by giving family consultations and, educating children and youngsters in pre-school clubs, low-threshold clubs and through private tutoring. Beside this, we also offer career advice and assistance for crime victims.
The One World Film Festival is an international film festival focusing on human rights. It has become the most important festival of its kind in the world, screening world premieres to about 120 thousand spectators every year. The festival is based in Prague, but is held in other Czech cities and in Brussels as well.
The festival has also inspired another project – One World in Schools (OWIS). Using audio-visual materials, the project informs Czech students about the key topics of our current world - human rights, ecology, civil society, modern history, and media. Teachers and pupils in more than 3,700 primary and secondary schools work with OWIS materials: approximately half of Czech schools are using our materials.
Our Varianty Educational Programme focuses on education of teachers. It shows teachers different teaching techniques, helps them to communicate certain topics, and provides them with methodological materials and tuition support. In addition, the project encourages family-school dialogue and advocates changes in the Czech school system.
Our Migration Awareness Programme seeks to inform the public about the complicated phenomenon of migration. It does so by publishing analytical studies, organizing events and explaining the topic in the media.

In last tutorial we have discussed about multi-catch feature in Java 7. Now lets see how Java 7 supports non-primitive datatype in switch case. Until Java 6 we had only switch cases support for primitive datatypes like int, char, short, and byte.
Below small example will gives you how switch case works until Java 6 with primitive datatype int.
In above program we have taken the command line input value and checked for day of week by using switch case. Here we have used primitive datatype int for variable "days".
Additionally in Java 7 we have got non-primitive datatype String also can be used in the Switch case. Below example will give the same code of Java 7 Switch case with String.
Hope you are clear on new switch case in Java 7 and lets see other Java 7 feature in next tutorial.

It's a stressful state of affairs when you, or someone if your life, is required to post bail after an arrest – and even more so if you haven't got access to the funds.
70% of the 646,000 people jailed in over 3,000 of the US's local prisons are being detained, awaiting trial, stuck in jail in the meantime because they owe money to get out.
Bail bonds services are there for those to access funds and be released from jail to await trial – giving the defendant and their loved ones some peace of mind.
Look at the services available in your area and check out their experience in this field.
The bonds service that you end up selecting should have a proven track record in the process, as well as in the protocols of the jail the defendant is held at and the courts in the area.
Experience also means they have been in the business for a decent period of time and so are versed in all of the methods put into place to quicken up the bail procedures.
This often means picking a more expensive bondsman – the service will be better.
The service must be licensed in the state in which the defendant lives.
It's a case of familiarity – the service will know the ins and outs of the bail process under the local authority and can do the best job for you.
The best bail bonds services are those that let you easily communicate with them – which might mean face-to-face meetings.
Make sure they're local and have an office nearby.
It's likely that you'll need bail bonds services out of typical office hours.
So make sure the one you select is accessible to you whenever you might need them.
This applies to the aftermath of them posting your bail.
Will you need the service during the trial period, for example? Make sure they can be available if they need to be.
Is there an out of hours service they can provide so that you can reach them for advice in an emergency?
4 – What Payment Plans Are Available?
The best bail bonds services are the ones that let you know precisely where you stand with them and their procedures.
Part of the decision-making, when it comes to selecting the right service for you, is to look at the repayment options that they will offer you.
This must fit with your personal circumstances, and there can't be any nasty surprises or shock fees along the way.
A good sign of the best bail bonds services are the ones that ask you certain information up front.
They need the full legal name of the defendant, their date of both, the arrest date and the amount required by the jail for bail.
A competent service will start by asking you these pieces of information.
If you're looking for an understanding, family-owned bail bonding business located in Raleigh, NC area, Absolute Bail Bonds is the one for you.
Run on the ethos that everyone is innocent until proven guilty, we never judge or discriminate our clients.
Whether you're charged with a driving offense, simple assault, domestic violence, or any type of felony or misdemeanor, we can relieve some stress and make the process easier for you and your loved ones.


After Jacob Rees-Mogg appears to be backing May's deal, the DUP might be putting a spanner in the works.
His comments show a split between the DUP and ERG (European Research Group) who have been aligned throughout the Brexit process, with both sides opposing the controversial Irish border backstop.
Wilson continued: "There are some colleagues who I admire greatly and who have stood firmly with us in defending Northern Ireland who now take the view that the withdrawal agreement, even though it is a rotten deal, is better than losing Brexit. To them I say that, if the deal goes through, we have lost our right to leave the EU. If we sign up to it, we give away our right to leave to the whim and dictates of the EU. That is not Brexit.


Almost fifty years after its launch Poltrona Frau presents the Dezza in new shades.
In October 2013 were presented three new finishes for the Dezza armchair: the open-pore varnished ash wood structure is now also available in Verde Ponti , Azzurro Ponti and solid Canaletto walnut, which join the black and white versions already in the collection.
Ponti blue and Ponti green are inspired, respectively, by the colours used in Hotel Parco dei Principi in Sorrento and Hotel Parco dei Principi in Rome, two pieces of architecture that epitomise the sober and innovative style of the design Maestro.
The Canaletto Walnut finish, meanwhile, is a nod to a material often used by Gio Ponti throughout his career and therefore in line with his aesthetic approach. It was Ponti himself who sketched out the project for Poltrona Frau in 1965. The Dezza possesses some of the most distinctive design elements of his work: the triangular-section tapered leg and the highly innovative modularity.Originally it was not merely an armchair but a series of four finished components to be assembled at a later stage, as and when requested. It is named after the address of the house he designed for himself in Via Dezza, Milan.
The Dezza armchair has backrests of three different heights. The 12 armchair has very slender armrests that make it possible to combine two or more armchairs while the 48 armchair comes with an eiderdown headrest incorporated in the backrest. The range is completed by the two-seater 24 sofa. The new finishes are available for the 24 armchair and sofa and for the 48 armchair.
All models have a seasoned beech wood supporting frame with polyurethane foam padding, the springs are made from stretch fabric, and the seat and backrest cushions are in polyurethane foam and Dacron. The workmanship on the backrest cushion and seat cushion is embellished with a pair of leather-covered buttons. The ends of the assembly elements on the sides are in chrome-plated brass.
As well as the new finishes, the feet are also available in black or white open-pore varnished ash wood.

Collection points are a cornerstone of Local Greens. We partner with like-minded local businesses to serve as pick-up points for your veg bags to keep our carbon footprint low, and to support and engage our community. We're all about local people after all!
We have a variety of venues across Lambeth and Southwark, ranging form pubs, cafes and shops to allotments and community centres. They're friendly places that would love for you to stop and have a chat, a pint or coffee, or pick up a few bits of shopping while you're stopping by for your bag. Have a look at each post code below for our nearest collection point in your neighbourhood.
Our bags are dropped off every Thursday and available to collect from 3pm until the venue closes on Friday evening. Individual collection point times will vary, so be sure to read through the details carefully before deciding which one is most convenient for you. Our fruit and veg can't wait to get home to you, so we do advise collection as soon as possible to maximise freshness and quality.
We guarantee bags to be available until close of business on Friday. Remember, the collection points are our partners and are not responsible for the bags. If you ever encounter any issues, give us a ring at 07808 651665 or email at info@localgreens.org.uk and we'll sort any issues out as quickly as possible.

OZYRYS is a flexible, integrated platform that processes all types of payments and allows to build sophisticated products for customers. OZYRYS supports both domestic and international settlement systems and many different types of payments including immediate payments and payments made via SORBNET2. Our platform meets the requirements of the law on payment services and Payment Services Directive (PSD).
For years we have been developing competences related to payment processing automation. While developing OZYRYS and implementing its functionalities, we did our utmost to meet all the objectives and rigorous demands defined by a modern bank. In particular, our system fully utilizes numerous sets of business rules (Business Process Rules) and workflow graphs specific for mass payment processing. This enables full automation of the processes from the moment of the reception and recognition of the incoming message, through its sequential processing, up to the accounting stage and the order execution stage (Straight Through Processing).
The open architecture of the platform allows easy integration with heterogeneous information environment in theBank - both with own systems, systems of customers and present and future clearing systems . The above diagram shows the typical location of OZYRYS in the IT environment of the bank.


PayPal and eBay are going to split up, with the former to be spun off as a new company next year, effectively almost breaking eBay in half at least in terms of revenue.
The split comes almost exactly 12 years after eBay snapped up PayPal, and follows rumours which circulated last month that this would be the next move for the auction giant.
eBay previously announced its intentions to potential PayPal CEO candidates, and all this falls in line with investor Carl Icahn's wishes to separate the payment service.
PayPal is currently thriving, with its revenue having increased by almost 20 per cent in 2013 – and it represents a hulking 40 per cent of eBay's takings. However, PayPal is under threat from alternative digital payment systems, the most recent spectre unleashed being Apple Pay (which comes hand in hand with the new iPhones over in the States – a powerful ally if ever there was one).
With PayPal standing on its own, the company will be able to attract top names for its executive positions (hence why potential CEOs were being told about the move previously), and better fight its corner against the likes of Cupertino (major execs are unlikely to go for running a subsidiary).
Forbes reports that eBay president and CEO John Donahoe commented: "A thorough strategic review with our board shows that keeping eBay and PayPal together beyond 2015 clearly becomes less advantageous to each business strategically and competitively."
Donahoe had previously argued against Icahn's view, but has obviously changed his mind, and is set to step down as eBay CEO (but will keep a seat on the boards of both firms). Devin Wenig, the current president of eBay's Marketplaces business, will take over as eBay CEO, and Dan Schulman is to head up PayPal (former president of American Express).
eBay shares are currently up strongly, with a movement of 7.3 per cent upwards as of the time of writing this article, so investors clearly agree with Icahn that the two companies will do better apart.
