ALMOST $180,000 was raised for the Cancer Council at the weekend as Gladstone residents donned their onesies, pirate costumes and wigs for the 11th annual Relay For Life.
The popular event had approximately 750 people walk, skip and run laps around the Chanel College oval on Saturday and yesterday in support of cancer victims, survivors and carers.
More than 60 teams were registered prior to the event and multiple individual registrations were taken on the day.
The event is the city's biggest fundraiser.
A smile was on every dial, as businesses, families and organisations united, dressed in silly costumes and fuelled by plenty of red frogs and hot chocolates.
The survivors' lap kicked off the event and the emotional candle lighting ceremony had not one dry eye in the crowd as participants remembered those who had succumbed to the disease.
A moving DVD tribute was played and hundreds of candles lit up the oval as everyone linked arms and did an honorary lap of the field, led by the bag pipes.
Rockhampton band Busby Marou volunteered their musical talents, performing for a big crowd before a gig at the Gladstone Entertainment Centre on Saturday evening.
An inaugural talent quest drew eight acts to the main stage, replacing the Mixed Relay event.
Danae Lowe, Casey Keogh and Steven Cirson from Gladstone State High did laps together at Relay For Life.
Alan Symmons, 87, from The Toffee Apples team showed his support by staying for the whole time, even walking at 2.30am.
Volunteer marketing and media co-ordinator Hollie Hall said it was efforts like Mr Symmons' that reiterated Gladstone's compassion.
"It was Alan's first all-nighter. He was a true champion.
"Everyone was inspirational. It just shows the community spirit we have in central Queensland that everyone is willing to lose sleep and get together.
"We are a generous town," she said.
Geoff Lester and his Gladstone Prostate Cancer Support Group raised $10,700.
Mr Lester said it was all about raising awareness and supporting those who are ill.
"We will have $1000 raised before the end of the year for 2015's Relay For Life.
"I do it for the wonderful work the group does and to try to raise the profile of prostate cancer," he said.
A prostate cancer survivor himself, Mr Lester was celebrating his 10th anniversary in 2014.
"I was 49 years old when I was diagnosed. I am doing ok, now," he said.
Mr Lester's granddaughters Jenna, 8, and Jordan, 10, dressed up as Smurfs and had a lot of fun.
Jacinta Burrows from Powerhouse Tannum Sands dressed up in fluoro exercise gear, held exercise classes and sold healthy treats with her team. She has also been touched by cancer.
"Both of my grandparents and my auntie died. My brother is a brain cancer survivor," she said. "It's a good chance to have fun and raise money for a great cause."
The Powerhouse crew had racked up $3200 as of Saturday afternoon.
Danae Lowe, Casey Keogh and Steven Cirson from Gladstone State High School enjoyed the event.
"My sister had a large bone cancer on her hand, she's missing a finger," Steven said. "She just does high-fours now."
Gladstone Regional Council's planning department put in a good effort, raising $4500 prior to Relay For Life.
The Planner Teers' team members Sarah Camilleri and Helen Robertson baked seven dozen cupcakes with delicate pirate decorations on top.

Historic Frisco cabin to be disassembled after sagging under years of snow

The Frisco Town Council has elected to disassemble an historic cabin on Granite Street rather than tear it down or restore and move it. The town code allowed the adjacent Victoria Lodge condo building dump excess snow on the cabin's roof, causing it to sag and lean against the Victoria, town staff said.

Typically, concerns about historic preservation involve new properties encroaching on the old. At 115 Granite St. in Frisco, however, the opposite has happened, with a log cabin built in the 1930s starting to lean against the side of an adjacent condo building.
The Victoria Lodge Homeowner's Association, concerned about the creeping cabin, has pressed the town do something about it. The Lodge, however, hasn't exactly been the best neighbor, either; for years the three-story building has stored snow by dumping it on the roof of the old cabin, causing it to sag, town staff said.
Yet that is entirely within the Victoria's rights under the town code. Built on a zero lot-line parcel, it sits directly on the property line just feet from the unoccupied cabin. Therefore, it's free to load the cabin's roof with excess snow every winter.
"They're dumping all their snow on that roof," town buildings foreman Keith Bilisoly said. "With that zero lot-line, it just made that OK. I fought that and fought it, but … I'll leave it at that."
Since Frisco owns the cabin and approved that snow storage arrangement when the Victoria was built in 2007, the onus is on the current town council to remedy the situation.
"We should push to get it done soon to be good neighbors, regardless of how it happened with snow storage issues, which are own fault because of code," mayor pro-tem Hunter Mortensen said.
Faced with three choices — tear the cabin down, spend as much as $400,000 to restore and move it, or disassemble it log-by-log — the town chose the middle route on Tuesday evening, instructing staff to take the cabin apart and save the timber for later use.
"It would be nice to be able to use this somewhere where we're growing but still trying to keep that (historical) character," said Councilwoman Jessie Burley. "To me it's not worth moving the whole building, but using the materials for a new structure would be appealing."
The logs are the only historic aspect of the cabin left, although they are extremely well preserved, Frisco Historic Park and Museum manager Simone Belz said. They were first laid on a patch of land that's now deep beneath Lake Dillon.
The cabin was moved to its current location in Frisco in the 1960s, which would have been prime waterfront property if Denver Water had gone through with initial plans to annex land for the reservoir all the way to Third Street, Belz said.
The town acquired the property in 1997, and it was used for employee housing until around seven years ago. Now, the accommodations would be rather spartan, with single-pane windows, 100-or-so tires in the cinderblock foundation and old pipes that routinely freeze.
The cabin is currently used as a storage space for the historic park. Over the years, spot repairs have turned it into a "money pit," Bilisoly said, and it would now require a ground-up rebuild.
Council understandably blanched at the estimated $350,000 to $400,000 bill for restoring and moving it.
"To move the unit you'd have to update one thing and then you'd have to update another," public works director Jeff Goble said. "It's all working in conjunction where this needs this and that needs that and so on."
Instead, the cabin's log skeleton will be stacked and stored while the town comes up with a list of possible projects it could be incorporated into. Council members suggested using the logs as a façade for a new building in town or for new construction at the Peninsula Recreation Area.
The latter option seems like a fitting resting place for the old logs: perched up on the Frisco Peninsula overlooking the lake that would've otherwise washed them away.

What difference will you be making?
Amanda Keighley Senior Lecturer, St Martin's College, Lancaster
The Government's new strategy for nursing, Making a Difference sets out to modernise nursing practice across the country. But what about learning disability nurses? Amanda Keighley has taken a look at the new strategy and believes that learning disability nurses will have a head start when it comes to putting its ideas into practice
In 1995, the Department of Health's report on learning disability nursing, Continuing the Commitment(Kay et al 1995) concluded that there was overwhelming support for the retention of a specialist practitioner for people with learning disabilities. It also recommended that nurses should 'ensure that their contribution is more explicitly linked to the maintenance and improvement of the health of people with learning disability' and to 'place stronger emphasis on the support of initiatives that enable people with learning disability to advocate for themselves.' By including examples of best practice from across the country, the report showed how learning disability nurses were already making a significant difference to the lives of people with learning disabilities. In the light of the publication of the Department of Health's new strategy for nursing,Making a Difference(DoH 1999), learning disability nurses should feel confident that they can use its key themes to further develop their practice.

Two interesting stories in the news today.
First is Ty Tryon, the one-time 17-year-old prodigy, who bombed out on the PGA Tour and is struggling to find his way in the world of professional golf. He managed to finally win something yesterday — the only problem was that it was a Hooters' Tour event, far, far removed from the PGA Tour with its courtesy cars and pristine golf courses.
Apparently we'll see Tryon, now 20, playing on the Canadian Tour this summer, as well as trying to make it through Monday qualifying on the Nationwide Tour.
Tryon could still turn out to be Justin Rose — a teenager who emerged as a good, strong player — but that could also be three or four years out.
His relative failure to this point seems to be proof that golfers shouldn't be rushed into turning pro (Michele Wie anyone?). Wouldn't Tryon have been better off holding back on the Callaway deal and the PGA Tour, and instead, heading to college and playing a few U.S. Amateurs? Seems clear now. I just wonder what his parents were thinking three years ago.
Anyway, if you're interested, you can find it here.
Secondly, apparently Darren Clarke's abscence from the tour is due to the fact his wife is battling breast cancer for the second time and he's staying home with his two small children. Hope all works out — Darren is a real character on a professional golf tour full of country club clones.


St. Elizabeth is usually depicted in royal garb with a dove or an olive branch. At her birth in 1271, her father, Pedro III, future king of Aragon, was reconciled with his father, James, the reigning monarch. This proved to be a portent of things to come. Under the healthful influences surrounding her early years, she quickly learned self-discipline and acquired a taste for spirituality. Thus fortunately prepared, she was able to meet the challenge when, at the age of 12, she was given in marriage to Denis, king of Portugal. She was able to establish for herself a pattern of life conducive to growth in God's love, not merely through her exercises of piety, including daily Mass, but also through her exercise of charity, by which she was able to befriend and help pilgrims, strangers, the sick, the poor—in a word, all those whose need came to her notice. At the same time she remained devoted to her husband, whose infidelity to her was a scandal to the kingdom.
He too was the object of many of her peace endeavors. She long sought peace for him with God, and was finally rewarded when he gave up his life of sin. She repeatedly sought and effected peace between the king and their rebellious son, Alfonso, who thought that he was passed over to favor the king's illegitimate children. She acted as peacemaker in the struggle between Ferdinand, king of Aragon, and his cousin James, who claimed the crown. And finally from Coimbra, where she had retired as a Franciscan tertiary to the monastery of the Poor Clares after the death of her husband, she set out and was able to bring about a lasting peace between her son Alfonso, now king of Portugal, and his son-in-law, the king of Castile.
My Queen, my protector, I am so grateful for all that you has given me!
Please grant my request, help me to achieve my dreams and achieve my profissional goals. Also, protect my family forever, and my love, opening our ways. Keep us together, as a family, in a harmonious marriage.
Many thanks for Divine that you are and you give to all!
St. Elizabeth, please intercede for my youngest son to get the job he's been waiting for and be successful, and for my 2 sons to have blessed, happy and loving family, bless and protect us, grant that on my birhtday, I will receive the financial gifts I've been praying for so I can fulfill my dreams for my family and be free to give my life to our Lord Jesus and Mama Mary my service according to their Will, peace to the World, Amen.

Emergency travel in lockdown
Isolation measures are placing additional pressure on family members travelling to New Zealand on compassionate grounds.
Nicholas Culpitt flew from Australia to attend to his mother who is dying of Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. With siblings in Wanaka and Vancouver unable to travel he became the only relative available to help.
Culpitt left his husband and puppy in Sydney on Friday April 5 without knowing when he would be able to return. His mother's cancer had advanced and as border restrictions tightened, he realised he needed to act quickly or risk being absent for her final days.
"I went into a bit of a panic, locked myself in my office and started to research immigration status of Australia and New Zealand given the travel bans," he said.
Liaising between each country's immigration services, health departments and the airline meant compiling paperwork to prove his mother's condition, writing self-isolation plans and a leap of faith or two.
"In typical bureaucratic fashion I couldn't apply for permission to leave Aussie without having a flight booked as supporting documentation."
The Australian Department of Home affairs granted permission by email the next day, albeit two hours after he had boarded his flight.
With the only flight available to Auckland and New Zealand rules requiring isolation within five hours of entering the country, the Wellingtonian's plan for isolating in a friend's guest house in the Wairarapa was no longer possible .
Tipped off by a former high school friend about an acquaintance who worked for the National Crisis Management Centre, Culpitt forwarded another copy of two self-isolation plans, flight details and the doctor's confirmation of his mother's condition to the offices beneath the Beehive.
As he was waiting in the Sydney departure lounge he received an email from the NCMC providing details of a domestic flight available from Auckland to Wellington the next morning and a police escort to overnight quarantine at Auckland's Novotel Hotel.
On landing, his name was called before passengers could disembark and Culpitt was gloved, masked and escorted through immigration, baggage claim and to the hotel by a police officer.
Culpitt was effusive about the police, immigration officials and health staff that assisted his transition to Wellington.
"They were lovely. Everyone I met was aware of my situation, they were compassionate, they were genuinely concerned and of the mindset that they would do whatever they needed to do to help me get to see my mother."
By the time Culpitt had arrived in Wellington his mother's condition had deteriorated and while he was in the air she had been admitted to the Mary Potter Hospice.
He would have to spend 14 days of isolation in her home in Brooklyn before being allowed access to the hospice, as the single representative of his family permitted under lockdown rules. Despite this setback he was positive about his experience and realistic about the restraints of lockdown in New Zealand.
"I'm grateful for everyone who helped get me this far. The last thing I want to do is bring the virus into contact with my mother or hospice's patients and staff," he said.
As of April 13 Culpitt's mother's condition had stabilised. He had been in discussion with her doctors about her leaving the hospice and hoped to assist in her care from their shared bubble in Brooklyn.
"I'm glad I'm here and I'm glad I'm going to be able to help."

Liberia Closes Border With Ivory Coast
Posted June 11th, 2012 at 7:45 pm (UTC-5)
Liberia has closed its border with Ivory Coast, after gunmen allegedly crossed into Ivory Coast and killed seven United Nations peacekeepers.
Information minister Lewis Brown announced the move during a news conference in Monrovia on Monday.
He said Liberia also has sent troops and police to protect the border area, and suspended mining activities in the region. Liberian authorities are still investigating where the gunmen were based.
Ivorian officials said Liberia-based gunmen killed seven U.N. peacekeepers and eight civilians on Friday in the western town of Tai, near the two countries' border.
U.N. peacekeeping chief Herve Ladsous, who will travel to Ivory Coast this week for a memorial service, briefed the U.N. Security Council Monday. Ladsous told reporters the United Nations still does not know who carried out the attack.
Before last week's shootings, Human Rights Watch had reported that mercenaries and militias based in eastern Liberia were carrying out cross-border raids and recruiting child soldiers. HRW accused Liberia of failing to hold the gunmen accountable.
The rights group said the attackers include Liberian mercenaries and Ivorian militiamen who fought for Ivory Coast's former president Laurent Gbagbo.
Mr. Gbagbo lost a 2010 presidential poll to President Alassane Ouattara but fought to remain in power. About 3,000 people were killed in a bloody power struggle between the two sides, until the former president was captured in April of last year. He has been charged with crimes against humanity and is being held in The Hague by the International Criminal Court.

Of all the incidents of violence that have occurred since Election Day, one of the most outrageous by far occurred on the night of December 15-16. One of the many pro-Donald Trump trolls floating around on Twitter got the bright idea to send Newsweek's Kurt Eichenwald a flashing GIF telling him he deserved a seizure for his attacks on Trump. The bottom-feeder was well aware that Eichenwald is not only one of Trump's loudest critics in the press, but has battled epilepsy for three decades.
Well, the bill is about to come due for a so-called man who is a deplorable in every sense of the word. On Friday, the FBI arrested a Maryland man who has been identified as the person responsible for sending that tweet.
Early on Friday morning, FBI agents descended on the home of John Rivello in Salisbury and arrested him on charges of cyberstalking with intent to kill or cause bodily harm. Rivello is suspected of being the person behind the Twitter account "@jew_goldstein," who sent Eichenwald the now-infamous tweet.
According to Eichenwald's attorney, Steven Lieberman, when Eichenwald saw the tweet, it triggered a particularly bad seizure that sent his client to the floor. When his wife, Theresa, saw him on the floor, she called 911 and fired off this warning to the coward.
This is his wife, you caused a seizure. I have your information and have called the police to report the assault.
As a result of this outrageous stunt, Eichenwald lost some feeling in his left hand and had difficulty speaking for a time. Under Texas law, he could not drive for at least three months.
Eichenwald didn't take this lying down, and vowed to nail this bottom-feeder to the wall. He sought and received permission to seek Twitter's help in identifying the deplorable behind the "@jew_goldstein" account. A week after Christmas, the bottom-feeder filed a motion to keep himself from being unmasked because–wait for it–revealing his identity would endanger his right to free speech. Uh huh. So harassment and criminal assault are now protected under the First Amendment?
As it turned out, this only delayed the inevitable. Within days of this laughable motion from "@jew_goldstein," Lieberman told the court that he and his team had discovered the bottom-feeder's identity–and thus no longer needed Twitter's help.
They also took a peek at his iCloud account and discovered a screenshot of Eichenwald's Wikipedia page, which had been altered to suggest he'd died on December 16. They also discovered screenshots from the Epilepsy Foundation's Website showing commonly reported seizure triggers, as well as screenshots of the Dallas Observer's coverage of Eichenwald's effort to unmask him.
Rivello may have been laughing at the time, but he definitely won't be laughing when he finds out that he could face up to 10 years in federal prison for this outrageous stunt. He could also face state charges in Texas when he is transferred there next week.
He might not be the only one getting a knock on the door in the coming days. Eichenwald was bombarded with strobe tweets for much of December and January. After Rivello's arrest, he warned the bottom-feeders that they shouldn't get too comfortable.
Identifying information about every person who sent me strobes after finding out about the assault is currently in the hands of the FBI.
More than 40 ppl sent strobes once they found out they could trigger seizures. Details of their cases are with the FBI. Stop sending them.
Considering the circumstances, 10 years seems awfully light. Remember, Rivello, and presumably the other trolls, were well aware that Eichenwald could have died. To my mind, 10 years ought to be the minimum sentence for such behavior.

T-Minus 7 Days One week from today. That's when it all goes down. Swagapalooza 2015.Yeah, yeah - I've talked about it before, but keep reading - there are a couple of special offers for Swag Maven's blog friends (read and scroll, baby - read and scroll).
Your Swag Coaches couldn't be more excited to welcome you to The Swedish Club next Thursday - October 15th - for an afternoon of food, drink and best of all - SWAG!
Show Me the Swag That's right - we're bringing in a ton of suppliers - our favorties actually. They in turn, are bringing the goods. We'll have the guys who represent Stormtech - they'll bring lots of outerwear to show you and some nifty layering pieces too.
Tom who represents Ogio, Nike, Port Authority, District, Red House and Corner Stone, to name a few will be there for sure. You can check out all his great lines right here. He will be front and center showing you styles and options for everybody on your list; from the maintenance crew to the front office - Tom can hook you up.
Want to work with someone on the cutting edge of fashion trends? Step right up and say "Hey" to Carina. Representing lines like Marmot, Alo, Alternative and Devon and Jones, Girl has it goin' on. With a fashion pedigree -she gradutated from the Fashion and Design institute don't you know - Swag Maven always looks to Carina for ways to bridge corporate-wear with fashion trends. Take a look at her lines, right here.
Yes! You can have this very amazing, on-trend shirt in your promo program too.
And of course, you'll get to meet Rob from Cutter & Buck. He will bring the latest in golf wear, premium resortwear and office apparel; all of which you can brand with your logo. Right? Right.
Hey, Here's a True Story. Last year, Rob's boss - none other than the president of Cutter & Buck, had heard such fabulous reviews of our show, he decided to join us for a look-see. I'm not saying he snuck in or anything, but none of us knew he was coming. Swag Maven and a couple of the coaches had never met boss-man before and had no idea whom were chatting up (you know, just to be social and all). Dude was as friendly as could be, and spent a good deal of time chatting US up about the Cutter & Buck values and upcoming trends. We thought we were talking to a brand manager or something. Next day, we learned it was the president! I guess the fact that he had just returned from overseas and was all pumped up about the new releases should have tipped us off. My point here? If the guy who runs one of our best lines finds it worthwhile to come to Swagapalooza - I know you will too.

The revolution in instrumental cosmetics!
The Wellbox®[S] is an at home non-invasive professional beauty care device. It is a miniaturization of the two famous LPG patented technologies: Lipomassage & Liftmassage.
Body Treatment: The Wellbox®[S] releases localized fat which are resistant to a healthy diet and exercise. When using the roll heads, Wellbox®[S] targets the adipocytes and acts like a mechanical lipolysis.
Face Treatment: Wellbox®[S] efficiently helps to fight sagging skin, smoothes lines and gives the skin a healthy glow on the face, neck and décolleté. By using the face modules, the Wellbox®[S] is used as as mechanical collagen activator.
It offers, at home, unprecedented durable results without surgery. Reinvent your daily beauty routine with the Wellbox®[S] !
Wellbox®[S] facial care is provided by LIFT treatment heads that deliver micropulses to the skin. The LIFT heads, equipped with flaps, stimulate fibroblasts (the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin) in every millimeter of the treated skin. Wellbox® technology is a mechanical activator of collagen and elastin.
Thicker skin on the face, neck, and neckline.
Clearer complexion, reduced wrinkles and fine lines, firmer contours.
Wellbox®[S] body care stimulates the skin with its motorized palpating-rolling action. The Roll heads release localized fat that is resistant to diet and physical exercise. With its direct action on adipocytes (the cells responsible for fat storage), Wellbox®[S] cellular stimulation mechanically activates lipolysis.
Smoother cellulite, firmer tissue, a refined figure.
Visible and lasting results! Up to 20% less cellulite and up to -3.5 cm smaller thighs (2).
With Wellbox®[S], say goodbye to aggression. Hello to the era of cellular stimulation. Welcome to the new era of wellness and better living!

Wellbox®[S] comes with five interchangeable treatment heads for the body and face. They are designed for all skin types, regardless of sensitivity.
Roller width: 15 mm. This is the smallest treatment head, developed from Roll mechanical technology. Using a deep-working targeted application, its rollers gently move tissue to drain, sculpt, and relax each and every area of skin. This head was created primarily to treat small areas, like the hands, knees, ankles, arch of the foot, and some parts of the face.
Roller width: 30 mm. Developed from Roll mechanical technology, this is the intermediate treatment head. Refer to the operator's manual to identify the program that best fits your goals and settings (sequential or continuous). This head was created for medium-sized surfaces: arms, forearms, and calves.
Roller width: 45 mm. This is the largest body treatment head, based directly on Roll (independent motorized rollers) professional technology. Pressing once on the action button triggers a forward rotation, and pressing it again reverses the direction of the rollers. The rollers gently grip the treated area and stimulate, drain, and soften the tissue. This head was created especially for large areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, and back.
Developed from LPG's professional technology to gently lift the skin, the flaps softly move, going deep to stimulate fibroblasts (the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin). The skin's structure becomes visibly firmer, software, thicker, and more full. The LIFT 1 treatment head is especially well-suited for the most delicate parts of the body and face. The eyes, mouth, and other areas.
a main power cord, 100-240VAC/60Hz input - 24 VCD output.
Four adapters to allow the Wellbox®[S] to be used anywhere in the world.
Two (2) removal tools for the Lift heads.
A box of 10 replacement filters for your Wellbox®.
Warranty : The Wellbox®[S] comes with at 2 years warranty.

Pixel 7 only tests 64-bit Android, can't run 32-bit apps
zoom / Pixel 7 in a beautiful "hazel" color.
Here's a surprise: We've learned that Android is preparing to drop support for 32-bit apps soon with the upcoming Pixel tablets. code received Check-in to set it up for 64-bit Android only What no one noticed is that the Pixel 7 is also dropping support for 64-bit apps, so yesterday's release marks a big step towards a 64-bit-only Android future. Esper is a senior technical writer Miskel Rahman I discovered the ins and outs of how this works.
It looks like the Pixel tablet will still be the first to run only a 64-bit version of Android, and the Pixel 7 takes a half-step toward that milestone. 32-bit applications are disabled via program flagBut it still only works on 64-bit Android. When trying to install a 32-bit application, an error message appears saying "The application could not be installed because the application is not compatible with your phone".
It seems that the operating system is not ready for only 64-bit version, since Some system libraries It's still 32-bit, but Google will make it. Also, starting with a synthetic software flag is a good test case. Only Google can tell how many problems 64-bit will cause, and can turn off the flag in a software update if things get really bad.
In reality, however, most consumers won't notice that 32-bit applications are missing. Java apps are compiled by the Android Runtime (ART) and the runtime can only generate 64-bit binaries! The only problem is non-Java applications (usually games) require the developer to create a 64-bit version. Play Store has introduced 64-bit support It is mandatory However, for all the updated apps in 2019, the only issues should be with abandoned software apps that are several years old. 2013 smash hit Enjoyed the flattery This seems to be the prime example.
zoom / rest in peace Enjoyed the flattery. Now it flutters away in a 32-bit heaven.
Rama to us too
Pure 64-bit mode will soon become a reality for new Android devices. While the Pixel 7's Tensor 2 still offers 32-bit support on each core, it's probably the only 2022 flagship phone that can make that claim. Both Qualcomm and this year's Samsung flagships only support 32-bit on three of the eight cores, Arm suggested. X3-SoC-Design No 32-bit support for 2023. Qualcomm focuses on the Chinese market This is called rejection If 32-bit support will be discontinued soon and may not meet Arm's guidelines.
Once we launch only full 64-bit Android builds, we'll likely see better performance and security when we remove those 32-bit bugs. Rahman said An internal Google study showed a 5-10 percent improvement in performance and energy efficiency, as well as reduced RAM and storage requirements.

8 Social Media Stories That Will Bring a Smile to Your Face – Social...


Pause for the Holidays: an Exciting Year Lies Ahead!
No doubt you deserve the holiday break that is coming up! We wish you a peaceful time off and a fabulous new year.
Indeed, 2016 promises to be a very interesting year for life sciences.
From the business point of view, the title of Deloitte's study says it all: "Moving forward with cautious optimism". Not too enthusiastic, admittedly… but the centrality of the health sector in an ageing society is expected to overcome the strictures of health spending's decrease in mature markets.
When it comes to legislation, the European Commission has certainly grand plans for 2016. Final language is ready for the General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Directive in the Field of Law Enforcement: the new rules will have an impact on m-health and medical devices' manufacturers in particular, as well as on European companies in general. Stay tuned! Will the Medical Device Regulation and In-Vitro Diagnostic Regulations see the light in 2016? That remains to be seen.
We hope you have enjoyed our musings on issues that lie at the intersection of law and technology in 2015: we intend to bring you more in 2016.
Warm wishes from the Life Sciences' Team at Italy Legal Focus.

Olive oil, bread, mushrooms, wine and honey
The Mogadouro district in Portugal got a new interpretation centre to promote and educate the public about the region and everything it has to offer.
More than just publish their content, the client wanted to have a website with a rich visual appeal that would attract visitors to the region and the museum.
Working side by side with the designers and developers we were able to create 5 whole pieces of digital publishing that merge design with illustration. The result is an immersive experience that takes you on an illustrated journey to show how the region's most delicious products are made.

Scientific accuracy
Scientific accuracy was one of the main concerns with this project. All the species needed to be rigorously depicted and easily identified.
Instead of a detailed and realistic approach (for which photography works much better), we decided to synthesise and work with more simple, geometric shapes, putting more emphasis on the aspects of the subject that were more representative, so that the essential concepts are easy to understand and remember even to an audience with little scientific background.
Explaining scientific concepts
The traditional editorial approach of simply leaving an empty area on the layout to insert the illustration is not the ideal solution for this kind of project. No part should simply conform to the others — animation and interaction are just as important as the illustration style to convey the message.
That's why we worked side by side with the design and development teams, both on the blueprints and implementation, to figure out the best way to integrate the interactive illustrations and animations with all the other content (video, photos and documents) on the website.

White Man Reacts After He Caught His African Director Cleaning The Office Floor
A Caucasian man identified as Ryan LeMasters has taken to social media to shower encomiums on a director in his company for portraying the act of leadership.
Taking to his LinkedIn page, Ryan revealed that he was left awestruck after he caught the black director whose name wasn't given cleaning the office floor in the morning.
Sharing a photo of the director while at the cleaning, Ryan hailed the man for leading from the front, demonstrating what leadership really is, and serving as a great example to everyone present when it happened even though he was embarrassed when he found out that he was being watched.
Ryan wrote; "This is what leadership looks like. In my morning rounds today I caught my EVS Director leading from the front.
"Such a great example to me, his staff, and everyone who silently watched him. He didn't know I was taking the photo. Was embarrassed when he saw that I was. He's a humble, hard worker."
LinkedIn Users Share Their Thoughts
While many social media users shared in the white man's sentiment, others questioned the motive behind the black director's action.
Kenneth Adams said: "Being a leader means that your capable and willing to do the job of those you lead. Leaders don't create followers, they create other leaders."
David Walker stated: "I've never worked at a place where my "leadership" people got their hands dirty with me. I guess they are sitting in their offices, reaching their endgame.
"I feel if more people like this would get out and work alongside their employees it would positively affect morale. In the least sense they would see first hand what their employees are dealing with."
Gaurav Rai wrote: "He is not an example ….he is the landmark…need to understand everyone job and responsibilities great leader respect the work…not only work only they know …..vision should be clear."
Raymond Eble thought: "Great picture of a true servant leader in action. Truth is most facilities managers perform these duties on a daily basis.
"They also go about their business without any fanfare or recognition. It's nice to see you taking the time to recognize this dedicated EVS leader. Thanks for sharing !"
KkanyiDaily had also reported how a Florida nanny, Marissa Mowry, was sentenced to 20 years in prison for sexually abusing her employer's 11-year-old boy multiple times, which resulted in her getting pregnant and giving birth to his child.

Their hard, rounded and smooth appearance creates an effective camouflage amongst the quartz stone fields where they are found. These white quartz fields or 'Knersvlakte', are ideal habitats for many of Namaqualand's dwarf succulents, as the quartz reflects sunlight and therefore creates a much cooler microclimate compared to the adjacent patches of darker sands and dolerite rocks.
In autumn, Conophytum calculus displays its colourful side and from the 'button hole' emerges a small yellow-orange flower. To experience the fully opened bloom however, a night visit is required, as these heavily scented flowers are nocturnal to attract moth pollinators.
Namaqualand is a large area extending along the west coast of Namibia and South Africa. Unbecoming of deserts, Namaqualand experiences reliable and widespread gentle winter rains which has allowed for the incredible and unparalleled diversity of miniature succulents and beautiful bulbs. Sadly though, this area has been heavily exploited for its mineral wealth. More than 65% of the Namaqua coastline has been mined and large tracks of the Knersvlakte where Conophytum calculus occurs have also been stripped for gypsum.

Another architectural photography series is beginning here. There is a tremendous drive for me to showcase recent modern architecture and renovations within London.
Personally, I feel there is not enough positivity surrounding new architectural projects in the city. I know London is highly in love with preserving heritage buildings and we need to preserve our heritage. But, it doesn't mean there are not amazing new spaces within London that could be attracting brilliant new people, increasing government funding, and raising the bar year after year.
And let's not forget the amazing adaptive reuse of some heritage buildings too.
Many of these innovative and visionary buildings are hard to find online. My mind is continually blown when I search for a new or recent architectural project and I come up empty.
Many times I find an announcement of the project and then nothing ever again.
Let's bring these amazing new (some older), modern spaces to be experienced by more people with beautiful architectural photography. It's a series I hope increases community appreciation.
On another note, this series serves as my way of continually working on my craft in public. Architectural photography is what I love to shoot and I'll take advantage of moments to continually shoot and practice. For example, I was in the Western University area on Monday and it was a great opportunity to take a few moments to snap some photos of the Ivey Business School (and the Engineering building in-progress across the street). Last time I looked up the images of Ivey they were dated. Even the photos on the actual website for Ivey could use an update.
This series will be updated periodically Also, the plan is to limit myself to sharing only a handful of the architectural images. I'm challenging myself to only post the absolute favourites instead of blasting you with 50 photos on a page.

Former News of the World employees offered jobs in Finland and Siberia
By Lesley Ciarula TaylorStaff Reporter
Fri., July 29, 2011timer2 min. read
The stigma of the phone-hacking scandal at a British tabloid is making its ex-employees unemployable, and now the Murdochs are offering them jobs in Siberia, South Africa and Finland.
Former parent company News International executive Rebekah Brooks had promised "Every single one of them will be offered a job" after the tabloid suddenly ceased publishing July 3, putting150 journalists and 130 other staff on the street.
For journalists, the jobs on offer so far appear to be mostly with the News International-owned business-news wire Dow Jones far from London. One notable post was as a "theatrical materials manager" with Fox TV in Siberia.
"It is completely unrealistic if they expect senior employees in London to get on a plane and go to Siberia," lawyer Christopher Sherliker told the Star on Friday.
Sherliker's firm has created the News of the World Employees Action Group with an eye to a class-action lawsuit on employees' behalf.
"The company has a reputation for malpractice and toxicity that attaches to the reputations of the employees," said Sherliker.
And that, in British law, could put News International on the hook for the lost current and future earnings of those 280 ex-employees, he said.
A 1997 House of Lords ruling declared that the taint of working for a bank that defrauded customers so blackened two senior employees' professionals reputations that they were unemployable.
"A supplier who delivers contaminated meat to a trader can be sued for loss of commercial reputation," the Lords wrote in their judgment. "Why may a bank manager not sue?"
"There are clear parallels," said Sherliker. (News International CEO) "Rupert Murdoch is prepared to go on international television under oath and say things went seriously wrong at the News of the World."
Already, said Sherliker, job-hunting ex-journalists are finding doors slamming because of the NOTW stigma, including at public-relations firms.
"Everybody I speak to is absolutely clear they are finding it difficult purely on the basis that they worked for the News of the World," he said.
"The company is going to have to answer to a claim" which, once future earnings are factored in, could be enormous.
What to do, then, with hundreds of journalists and staff who were working on a national Sunday newspaper in London?
Sherliker suggested "an alternative Sunday newspaper operated perhaps by the (Murdoch-owned) Sun" could soak up those ex-employees.
One former employee told The Guardian: "The idea that you would go from the News of the World to becoming an oil reporter for Dow Jones, a high-end financial wire service, is laughable."

Not all of the jobs on offer are quite so grim. The News Corp. job site does list Dow Jones reporting and editing posts in New York.
About 40 ex-NOTW staff have contacted Silverman Sherliker about a class-action case so far, Sherliker said. Most staff are in the throes of a 90-day News International Human Resources "consultation."

Q: CKEditor4 Clipboard issue I am trying to select all the content from a CKEditor instance and copy it to the clipboard when the user clicks a button on a different part of the screen.  When the page initially loads, and I click the "Copy to Clipboard" button, the selectAll command works, but the copy command does not work. However, if I click the button a second time, everything works correctly.
Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?  I am new to CKEditor, but this seems like a focus or timing issue.  I'd rather not have to code phantom button clicks to make this work.  Any help is greatly appreciated.
Here is my code.  As you can see, I also tried wrapping the copy command in the "afterCommandExec" callback from the "selectAll" command.  That didn't work either.
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="ckeditor/ckeditor.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var g_editorObj = new Object;

window.onload = function () {
    g_editorObj = CKEDITOR.replace('editor1');
}

function doCopyClipBoard() {
    try {
        g_editorObj.focus();
        g_editorObj.execCommand("selectAll");
        g_editorObj.execCommand("copy");
        //g_editorObj.on('afterCommandExec', handleCopy);
    } catch (ex) {
        alert(ex.Message);
    }
}

function handleCopy() {
    g_editorObj.execCommand("copy");
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input type="button" onclick="doCopyClipBoard()" value="Copy to Clipboard" /><br />
<textarea id="editor1" name="editor1" rows="10" cols="80">Testing this thing</textarea>
</body>
</html>

A: Please check if this order of things will work for you:
editor.focus();
editor.once( 'selectionChange', function() {
    editor.execCommand( 'copy' );
} );
editor.execCommand( 'selectAll' );

or alternatively:
editor.execCommand( 'selectAll' );
setTimeout( function() {
    editor.execCommand( 'copy' );
}, 0 );

Note that access to the clipboard is only possible in IEs. It's a matter browser limitations and there's no way to bypass that thing.

\section*{Abstract}
{\bf
We propose the inclusive hadroproduction of a heavy-light dijet system, as a new channel for the investigation of high energy QCD. We build up a hybrid factorization that incorporates a partial next-to-leading BFKL resummation inside the standard collinear description of observables. We present a detailed analysis of different distributions: cross-section summed over azimuthal angles and differential in rapidity and azimuthal distribution. The stability that these distributions show under higher-order corrections motivates our interest in future studies, doable at new generation colliding machines.

\section{Introduction}
\label{sec:intro}
Semihard processes ($s \gg Q^2 \gg \Lambda_{{\rm{QCD}}}^2$, with $s$ the squared center-of-mass energy, $Q^2$ the process
hard scale and $\Lambda_{{\rm{QCD}}}^2$ the QCD mass scale) represent a challenge for high-energy QCD. Fixed-order perturbative calculations miss the effect of large energy logarithms, which must be resummed to all orders. The most general framework to perform this resummation is the BFKL approach \cite{Fadin:1975cb, Kuraev:1977fs, Balitsky:1978ic}. This procedure
allows us to resum all terms proportional to $(\alpha_s \ln(s))^n$ (the so called leading logarithmic approximation or LLA) and also of those proportional to $\alpha_s (\alpha_s \ln(s))^n$ (the so called
next-to-leading logarithmic approximation or NLA).

Within the BFKL approach, the imaginary part of an elastic amplitude (which can be related to a inelastic total cross-section by the \textit{optical theorem}), can be presented as a convolution of a process-independent object, the BFKL \textit{Green's function}, and of two process-dependent \textit{impact factors} (depending on the type of colliding particles). Being the Green's function universal (and known with NLA accuracy), to investigate new processes within the framework, all that remains is to compute impact factors. \color{black}

In the BFKL treatment, the analytic form of the imaginary part of the process scattering amplitude is expressed as a convolution of two \emph{impact factors}, portraying the transition from each colliding particle to the respective final-state object, and of a \emph{Green's function}.
The latter is a process-independent object and it is ruled by an integral evolution equation.
Impact factors, instead, depend on the process, thus representing the most challenging part of the calculation. A detailed list of impact factors known to the leading order (LO) and to the next-to-leading order (NLO) can be found in Ref. \cite{Celiberto:2020wpk}. In the present work the LO impact factor for the production of a forward jet (see e.g. \cite{Caporale:2014gpa} and references therein) and the one for the production of a heavy quark-antiquark pair starting from a gluon will come into play \cite{Bolognino:2019yls}.
Here, the semi-hard reaction under investigation is:
\begin{equation}
 \label{process}
 P(k_{1}) \, + \, P(k_{2}) \; \to \; Q{\text{-jet}}(k_Q, y_Q) \, + \, X \, + \, {\rm{jet}}(k_J, y_J) \; ,
\end{equation}
where $P$ labels the colliding protons with momenta $k_{i}$ ($i=1,2$), $Q$ the heavy-jet carrying (a large) transverse momenta $k_Q$ and emitted at rapidity $y_Q$ and, lastly, $J$ is the light-jet carrying (a large) transverse momenta $k_J$ and emitted at rapidity $y_J$. $X$ contains all the undetected products of the reaction.

\color{black}

\section{Theoretical set-up}
For the process under consideration we plan to construct a cross section, differential in some of the kinematic variables of the tagged jets. We will be able to build up all considered observables from the master formula for this cross-section. In the BFKL approach the partonic cross section takes a factorized form given
by the convolution of two impact factors with the BFKL Green's function. The formula for the differential hadronic cross-section is then established by performing the convolution with collinear parton distribution functions (PDFs).

At LO and in the $x$-range relevant for this process at LHC ($x \sim$ $10^{-2}$ to $10^{-4}$), the dominant mechanism of production of an heavy-quark pair is the splitting of a partonic gluon (with the $Q$-jet generated either from the quark or from the antiquark); the LO \textit{heavy-quark pair} impact factor (upper vertex of our hybrid-factorized cross section) and its projection onto the BFKL eigenfunctions have been evaluated in Ref. \cite{Bolognino:2019yls}. \\
Conversely, a light jet directly stems from a partonic light quark or from a gluon; the LO expression for the \textit{forward-jet} impact factor (lower-vertex of our hybrid-factorized cross section) and its projection, can be found, for instance, in Ref.\cite{Caporale:2013uva}. At this level of accuracy, the jet selection functions are obviously set to one, while impact factors are convoluted with the PDFs to obtain the hadronic cross section.
The differential proton cross section is then
\begin{equation}
\label{crosfin}
\frac{d\sigma_{pp}}{d y_Q d y_J d |\vec{k}_Q| d |\vec{k}_J| d \phi_Q d \phi_J}=\frac{1}{(2\pi)^2} \left[\mathcal{C}_0+2 \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \cos(n\phi) \mathcal{C}_n \right],
\end{equation}
where $\varphi = \phi_J - \phi_Q - \pi$ and $\mathcal{C}_n$'s are the \textit{azimuthal coefficients}.  $\mathcal{C}_n$'s embody in their definition the parton distribution function, impact factors and the BFKL Green function (projected on the $(n, \nu)$-space). Their analytic expression can be found in Ref. \cite{Bolognino:2021mrc}. \color{black}

\section{Phenomenology}
\label{sec:Pheno}
Observables under investigation are:
\begin{itemize}

    \item \emph{Azimuthal-angle coefficients}
    \begin{equation}
     \label{Cn_int}
     C_n(\Delta Y, s) =
     \int_{k^{\rm min}_Q}^{k^{\rm max}_Q} d |\vec k_Q|
     \int_{k^{\rm min}_J}^{{k^{\rm max}_J}} d |\vec k_J|
     \int_{y^{\rm min}_Q}^{y^{\rm max}_Q} d y_Q
     \int_{y^{\rm min}_J}^{y^{\rm max}_J} d y_J
     \, \delta \left( y_Q - y_J - \Delta Y \right)
     \, {\cal C}_n
     \, ,
    \end{equation}
    We investigate the $\Delta Y$-behavior of the $\varphi$-summed cross section (or $\Delta Y$-distribution), $C_0(\Delta Y, s)$.
    \item \emph{Azimuthal distribution}
    \begin{equation}
     \label{azimuthal_distribution}
     \frac{d \sigma_{pp} (\varphi, \Delta Y, s)}{\sigma_{pp} d \varphi} \equiv \frac{1}{\pi} \left\{ \frac{1}{2} + \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \cos(n \varphi) \frac{C_{n}}{C_0} \right\} = \frac{1}{\pi} \left\{ \frac{1}{2} + \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \cos(n \varphi) \langle \cos(n \varphi) \rangle \right\}
      \; .
    \end{equation}
    \end{itemize}
In the following, we focus our attention on bottom-jet ($b\text{-jets}$) emissions fixing the center-of-mass energy at $\sqrt{s} = 14$ TeV. Rapidity intervals, $|y_Q| < 2.5$ and $|y_J| < 4.7$, are choosen in order to fit a realistic CMS analysis. We work in the ${\overline {\rm MS}}$ scheme. \\ \color{black}
An extensive analysis, which includes other distributions (\textit{e.g.} the heavy-jet transverse momentum distribution) as well as the charm-jet production case, can be found in \cite{Bolognino:2021mrc}.

\caption{$\varphi$-summed cross section, $C_0$ as a function of $\Delta Y$ (left). NLA azimuthal distribution for different $\Delta Y$ (right).}
\label{fig:C0}
\end{figure}
In the left panel of Fig. \ref{fig:C0} we present predictions for the $\varphi$-summed cross section, $C_0$, as a function of the rapidity interval, $\Delta Y$. The downtrend of the cross section comes out as the net result of two competing effects. On one side BFKL predicts an increase in the partonic cross section as the rapidity grows. On the other side, in our hybrid approach the BFKL-resummed partonic cross section is convoluted with PDFs. In particular, the gluon one plays a dominant role and it decreases as the rapidity difference grows. We note that the inclusion of NLA corrections to the BFKL Green's function reduces the value of the cross section, due to the fact that these terms have opposite sign with respect to pure LLA. Nevertheless, the emission of a heavy-flavored jet provides with a partial stabilization, that allows us to perform studies around small multiples of natural scales.

In the right panel of Fig. \ref{fig:C0} we present predictions for the azimuthal distribution, $d \sigma_{pp}/d\varphi$ at different values of $\Delta Y$. High-energy behavior clearly emerges from these distributions. In fact, all distributions have a peak when the two tagged objects are back-to-back ($\varphi=0$), but, distributions associated to higher rapidity difference are wider and with a smaller peak height, indicating a clear loss of correlation when $\Delta Y$ increases. \color{black}

\section{Conclusions and outlook}
We have proposed a new type of inclusive semi-hard reaction in which a heavy-flavored jet and a light-flavored jet are emitted with a large separation in rapidity.
The following phenomenological analysis, not only enriches the class of useful processes for testing the high-energy dynamics of QCD (see \textit{e.g.} \cite{Bolognino:2018oth,Celiberto:2020tmb,Celiberto:2021dzy,Celiberto:2021fdp,Caporale:2015vya,Caporale:2015int}), but also allows for a stabilization of the BFKL series. Thanks to these stabilizing effects, it has been possible, in contrast with the case of inclusive light-dijet production ~\cite{Colferai:2010wu,Caporale:2012ih,Ducloue:2013hia,Ducloue:2013bva,Caporale:2013uva,Caporale:2014gpa,Colferai:2015zfa,Caporale:2015uva,Ducloue:2015jba,Celiberto:2015yba,Celiberto:2015mpa,Celiberto:2016ygs,Celiberto:2016vva,Caporale:2018qnm} (Mueller-Navelet channel~\cite{Mueller:1986ey}), to perform studies around natural values of energy scales. This result is very promising when considering the perspective of performing high-precision calculations in our hybrid collinear/high-energy framework, as well as gauging the weight of high-energy effects in wider kinematical ranges, like the ones typical of new generation colliding machines \cite{AbdulKhalek:2021gbh,Chapon:2020heu,Arbuzov:2020cqg,Anchordoqui:2021ghd}.

This work is part of our current program on heavy-flavored emissions, which has started from the analytic calculation of heavy-quark pair impact factors \cite{Celiberto:2017nyx,Bolognino:2019ouc,Bolognino:2019yls}. From the phenomenological point of view, our next step is the extension of these analyses to bound states of quarks, such as heavy-light mesons and quarkonia. From the theoretical side a very interesting and challenging development is the calculation of the NLO heavy-quark pair impact factor.

Oil rigs are among some of the most remote areas of man-made construction in the world. Often miles out to sea, off unpopulated shorelines, the rigs are solidly built to keep workforces safe and avoid environmental disaster, even in the face of extreme weather conditions, corrosion from the salty sea and air and any potential damage from collisions. Therefore, when it comes to decommissioning oil rigs, it is not a straightforward job. Many thousands of tonnes of metal have to be carefully deconstructed and lifted onto ships to be taken to shore.
The deep-sea risers, used to bring oil from the sea bed to the surface, present a particular challenge. They can weight up to 300 tonnes each and be hundreds of feet long. Lifting them is time consuming and laborious, making it very expensive.
An engineering company, specialising in offshore work, developed a unique new lifting tool which is designed to double the speed at which the risers could be lifted from the sea. They approached Apex Hydraulics to produce the specialist hydraulic cylinders for the fabrication. They wanted to double the distance that the risers could be lifted out of the water with each stroke of the hydraulic cylinder; while leaving the equipment as compact in height as before.
Apex produced a series of highly bespoke double acting telescopic cylinder, utilising two very specialist hydraulic cylinder adaptations.
A telescopic cylinder – a telescopic cylinder features a rod within a rod, with the interior rod advancing once the first rod has reached the full length of its stroke. In this way, the full stroke of the hydraulic cylinder is double that of a standard cylinder. For this application it meant that the riser could be lifted to the required 40 ft cutting length in half the time, doubling the speed that the riser can be removed.
Double acting function – many telescopic cylinders advance hydraulically, but then retract by the force of gravity or the weight of the item it has just lifted. However, in this case, once the riser was lifted out of the water, it was held in place prior to being cut so that the cylinder could not rely on the weight of the riser to push it back into position. Theses specialist cylinders required a complex double acting design, where the hydraulic fluid would force the rod to retract as well as advance.
Constant speed: Standard telescopic cylinders have an attribute that can be considered hazardous, depending on the application. As telescopic cylinders are made up of an array of different diameter bore and rod stages, the constant oil flow into the cylinder means that it takes longer to fill up the larger stages, but fills up the smaller stages much more quickly. Therefore, telescopic cylinders get increasingly faster as it works through the different stage sections. This can be very dangerous if used for lifting applications where personnel are working in close proximity and are unaware of the sudden changes in lifting speeds. It is possible to design double acting synchronised telescopic cylinders, meaning that each stage advances and retracts together at the same time giving a constant speed throughout the entire stroke length.
Crucially for this application, the rigorous testing that is carried out on all of Apex Hydraulics' completed cylinders was in line with the pressure testing requirements of the third-party approval agency, DNV-GL. A product certificate was issued evidencing full compliance with lifting tool specifications covering the manufacturing and testing requirements.
An environmentally friendly jet of cutting fluid is piped down to sever the risers at the sea bed. The modular recovery system then grips the riser and the double acting telescopic cylinders advance to their full length, pulling the riser up out of the water. While the riser is held in place, the hydraulic cylinders are operated back into their retracted position, ready to pull the next length of the riser from the water, until the length is ready to be cut.
This unique new recovery system is a huge advantage to oil companies worldwide. Once oil rigs are no longer producing oil, they are a financial drain on the resources of the company. Anything that can speed up their safe and environmentally friendly decommissioning is very beneficial. As a fully DNV-GL approved tool, this system, complete with its unique hydraulic cylinders, will be used all around the globe to safely and quickly remove deep sea risers from redundant oil rigs.

NNPC Spends N700m Daily On Illegal Kerosene Subsidy – Senate
BY LAWRENCE ETIM
The Senate of Nigeria on Thursday alleged that the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, illegally spends N700m on kerosene subsidy daily. This allegation was contained in the motion sponsored by Senator Babajide Omoworare (Osun East) and debated in the senate.
At the end of the debate, the senate adopted the resolution asking its committee on finance, which is already investigating the alleged missing crude oil sales to incorporate the verification of the allegation to its work. The said amount which was not appropriated by the National Assembly amounts to N4.2bn in every six days.
Omowurare explained the unappropriated amount, which he noted, has also been confirmed by the Petroleum Products Pricing and Regulatory Agency, PPPRA, and ministries of finance and petroleum, as illegal, unconstitutional and a breach of the appropriation acts by the National Assembly. The action contravened Section 80 and 162 (1) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended).
It is further observed that less than 10 per cent of petroleum products' outlets in the country sell Kerosene at the N50 subsidised rate and argued that the general rate at which the product is sold is N150 per litre. Therefore the so-called subsidy scheme has totally failed to ameliorate the living conditions of the masses, who should ordinarily be the beneficiaries of the scheme.
The Senate noted with sadness that only "less than 10 per cent of Nigerians benefit from this heartless massive scheme that drains the nation's treasury." "The amount is more than double of the aggregate annual budget for education, health, roads, security and agricultural sectors, while majority of our populace wallow in abject poverty at the expense of these few mindless rich cabal network."
Senator Olubunmi Adetumbi (Ekiti North), also contributing said contrary to the claim of the Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Allison-Madueke, that kerosene is subsidised in the interest of the masses, Nigerians pay exorbitant rates to obtain the product as he proceeded to enumerate varying rates at which the product is sold in different locations. A nationwide comparisons to prove the point that Nigerians are losing the value of the so called subsidy on the product.
Accordingly, while the product was sold at N65.00 at an NNPC mega station in Yenagoa, the capital of Bayelsa State, where Allison-Madueke comes from at 7pm on Wednesday, kerosene was sold in Odi, another community in Bayelsa State between N170.00 and N180.00 as well as in some petrol stations on East -West Road same time. Kerosene was sold at New Nyanya, Abuja at the rate of N105.00 at 6.44 am, it was sold at N155.00 at Depot in Makurdi, Benue State same time.
The breakdown of varying sales was given to debunk the Alison- Madueke's claim that the product is subsidised for the masses, saying what the minister has done by this kerosene subsidy is to suspend the constitution by spending unauthorized funds from the federation account.
Adetumbi challenged the Senate to live up to its responsibility by defending its power of appropriation which is being violated. Senators Abdul Ningi, George Akume, Bukola Saraki and Ayogu Eze insisted that henceforth kerosene subsidy must stop until investigations into the scam are concluded.

White Flower oil is an analgesic rub that is a blend of essential oils – wintergreen, eucalyptus, peppermint, menthol, camphor and lavender. White Flower oil should be used with caution – it is very effective but should not be used near the eyes, or if you are taking blood thinners (including aspirin). It should be kept away from children and is toxic if ingested.


Cooking whole artichokes can take about an hour, but cutting them in half or quarters before cooking reduces the cooking time less than 20 minutes. Plus, the half or quarter is a perfect serving size.
Wash artichokes under running water. The pointed ends or the leaves can be removed by cutting off about ¼ inch with kitchen shears. Cut ¼ inch of the stem end of the artichoke off. On a cutting board, hold the artichoke with the stem facing up and cut through the entire artichoke with a large knife. Using a spoon scoop out the "choke" (fuzzy-looking part) and any sharp purple-ish petals. Set each half in a bowl of water with some lemon juice until your are ready to steam them. Steam artichokes in a steamer basket by bringing the water to a boil, cover and reduce heat to low. Steam artichokes for 15-20 minutes until they are easily pierced at the stem end with a fork.
Artichokes are often served with a dipping sauce. The sauce can be as simple as melted butter or mayonnaise. You can also tray one of the dipping sauce recipe below.
Simply peel off a petal, dip it in sauce and scrape the inside of the petal with your teeth. Once scraped, discard the petal. As you peel off the leaf, it will begin to reveal a culinary treat – the heart of the artichoke. Once the petals are gone, cut the heart into pieces, dip and enjoy the final bites of your delicious artichoke!
