Q: How to check if fetch is coming through and if so, display it? React Native I am trying to get into coding apps using React Native. I am currently working on a weather app. The data I am using is supposed to be fetched from OpenWeather. The problem is that the temperature is not being displayed on the app. I am using Expo to test the app.
Here is the display code:
import React from 'react';
import { StyleSheet, Text, View } from 'react-native';
import { LinearGradient } from 'expo-linear-gradient';  // Background color
import { Key } from './Key';

import Weather from './components/Weather';

export default class App extends React.Component {
  state = {
    isLoading: false
  };

  render() {
    const { isLoading } = this.state;
    return (
      <View style={styles.container}>
        {isLoading ? (
          <Text>Please wait a moment...</Text>   // PROBLEM: THIS IS NOT CENTERED!!!!!!!!
        )
          : (
            <View style={styles.container}>
              {/*Following JSX adds the background gradient color. Inside will contain all the information for the app*/}
              <LinearGradient
                // Background Linear Gradient
                colors={['#3d94ee', '#123161']}
                style={{ flex: 1 }}
              >
                <Weather />

              </LinearGradient>
            </View>
          )
        }
      </View>
    );
  }
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    flexDirection: 'column',
    justifyContent: 'center',
  },
});

Here is the Weather function:
import React from 'react';
import { View, Text, StyleSheet } from 'react-native';
import { MaterialCommunityIcons } from '@expo/vector-icons'; // Weather icons
import { FetchWeather } from './fetchWeather'
// This component adds the city, weather description, weather icon, and temperature

const Weather = () => {
  return (
    <View style={styles.container}>
      <Text style={styles.location}>Minneapolis</Text>
      <Text style={styles.weatherDescription}>Clear/Sunny</Text>
      <MaterialCommunityIcons name="weather-sunny" style={styles.weatherIcon} />
      <Text style={styles.temperature}>{FetchWeather}</Text>
    </View>
  );
};

(Stylesheet hidden)

export default Weather;

And here is the actual fetching function:
const FetchWeather = () => {
  var key = 'de2570a4ab61d3ede83290dec6fa1725';
  return fetch('api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?id=5037649&appid=' + key)
  .then((response) => response.json())
  .then((json) => {
    return json.main.temp;
  })
};

export default FetchWeather;

Is this function valid and actually receives the json? Is there a way to see if it is fetching or not? If this is valid, why isn't the temperature being displayed?
Thanks so much.

A: To check if the fetch is succeeding you can check the value of response.ok to see if the API endpoint returns a status code in the range of 200-299.
FetchWeather() is returning a promise therefore you need to access the value of the promise. This can be done like:
let temp = await FetchWeather();
//temp = 298.08

Fetch response.ok
How to access the value of a promise.

A: Function is valid, and it works too. You just need a better way to handle the response.
You can use state to store the data and use that to render the values in Weather function.
FetchWeather().then((data) => {
   // setState(data);
});

I have tested it here on CodeSandbox, you can have a look at working prototype.

Cancun is one of the premier spa destinations in the world with a choice of more than thirty Cancun spa resorts awaiting you to transport your mind, body and spirit to a nirvana of pure bliss. The majority of the hotels in Cancun offer a variety of Spa treatments combining native herbs and plants with ancient Mayan healing rituals and the latest stress-reducing technologies and treatments.
Try a traditional Temazcal steam bath or a full-body massage on the beach overlooking the turquoise blue waters. Indulge in a thalassotherapy treatment and relax as expert therapists provide natural body wraps made with local plants and flowers. The ultimate relaxation experience has to include a traditional Mayan massage incorporating all the traditions of an ancient world.
A Mayan Temazcal is a pre-Hispanic style steam bath that uses traditional healing methods to encourage deep relaxation encouraging introspection and reflection. Under the expert guide of a Xaman you will hear native songs, breathe in the "copal" and aromatic herbs infused with the steam, all combining to create a magical and therapeutic ambiance. You can experience an authentic Mayan Temazcal at many of the Cancun spa resorts.
Thalassotherapy dates back to ancient times in Greece and Rome and was then later developed in the 20th century proving the effective therapeutic qualities of this treatment. Thalassotherapy is the therapeutic use of seawater, marine algae and marine mud using comfortably warm seawater with its living organisms to reload the body with minerals and trace elements which are absorbed through the skin by a process of osmosis. This supports the theory that the ocean is the source of all life.
The Anti Aging Center at Zoetry Paraiso del la Bonita integrates the latest advances in Aesthetic and Anti-Aging Medicine together with a comprehensive wellness program consisting of the use of correct nutrition, fitness and complementary medicine.
Body wraps will nourish, exfoliate and detoxify your body relieving stress and leaving your skin glowing. You will be able to choose from a variety of exotic body wraps at your Cancun spa, with body wraps ranging from Delicious Chocolate to Exfoliating Green Mud to Papaya Melon to Mayan Avocado and Yoghurt to Tequila to name but a few..
Mayan massages are designed to balance the mind, spirit and body giving enormous benefits to the immune system and to the circulation. Following ancient Mayan traditions, essential oils are applied with soft massage and hot stones are used to help the oils penetrate the skin. Combined with the burning of incense made with aromatic, healing ingredients you will experience the most pleasurable sensations making you feel healthy and transformed.
Read on to find out more of our ancient Mayan traditional massage treatments, most of them still practiced in the local communities.
While the extraordinary spa in Cancun range from rustic to ultramodern, they are all alike in the high standards of quality offered. So take a well-deserved break, and let Cancun spas put tranquility at the heart of your visit.

It was a glorious day in mid May and we all enjoyed beautiful blue skies and sunshine!
Justine and Tim's preparations took place at the cottages within the grounds of Lympne Castle, Hythe in Kent. I began by meeting Justine and her bridesmaids – the cottage was a hub of activity and excitement!
I then popped into the cottage next door to meet Tim, his best man and ushers as they put the finishing touches to their morning outfits.
Justine and Tim were married at St Stephen's Church Lympne, Kent. The light in this church is just amazing, clean and plenty of it, and the grounds are lovely too.
After the throwing of the confetti at the lych gate the wedding party headed for Lympne Castle for the celebrations! The castle, which dates back to the 13th Century is spectacularly placed and it's high vantage point allows views of the South Coast, and on a clear day, France. The team at the Castle are very attentive and they run a very tight ship! I was very pleased when they asked me to be one of their preferred suppliers!
Tim, his Best Man, Ushers and Father all looked very dapper!
Justine's flower girl was just adorable – and so excited!
The light in St Stephen's Church Lympne, Kent is just beautiful – clean and plenty of it..
A beautiful day for a wedding and such a wonderful location!

Doctrine and dogma have consequences for our prayer life, that is, our relationship with God, and how that relationship is concentrated and focused into acts of prayer—normatively the threefold Regula, including private prayers myriad in variety.
Because it is not just the "idea" of Mary, or her merits narrowly, that have been assumed into Heaven—but in fact her body—then despite how difficult that notion may be to get our heads around, what it must mean is that it is Mary as a totality, as a unity of body-mind-soul, who is in heaven as the Queen of Heaven as Lady of all the Angels.
The more we are like Mary, the more our own souls might be overshadowed, our own spirit enlightened, that, in the words of Jeremy Taylor, we might conceive the holy Jesus in our heart, and may bear him in our mind, and may grow up to the fullness of the stature of Christ, to be a perfect man in Christ Jesus. Hence Mary is crucial for our understanding of Theosis.
Marian imagination seeks and serves Christ in all persons. Our exemplar in being a baptized Christian, Mary was the first person able to name divine reality as "Jesus," the first person able to ask what it means to perceive the world as Jesus perceived, and the first person able to reconcile explicitly all things to, and by, Him—to see Christ as the telos of human beings fully alive. Marian imagination—Marian "awe," Marian "heart"—is empowered by angelic injunction to live completely toward, and for, the Cross: "a sword will pierce through your own soul also" (Lk 2:35) becomes the actual corporate reality of the first Christians at Pentecost: "Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart" (Acts 2:37). We grow into this "Marian imagination," just as Mary grew into full realization of who her son was—indeed, the episode of Jesus at age twelve at the Temple is crucial for safeguarding the fact that we, like Blessed Mary, grow into mature Christian sensibility.
Marian imagination sees all things as potential mediators of Christ's love, the Holy Spirit revealing unity between creatures and God. It is a Marian imagination, then, that can recognize sacramentality whether in the sacred or the mundane, which is then lifted to the sacred. It is through Marian imagination that we lift our hearts to God, during Mass and everywhere else. "The core of Christian living in its fullness is an habitual awareness of Being, a constant but unforced anticipation of the divine disclosure." (Martin Thornton, Prayer, p. 95.) And when sin separates us from God—from contemplative harmony with Him and His creation within our conditions of time and space—we can "flee" to Mary as oasis, knowing and finding consolation in the fact that we can never love Mary more than Jesus does.
And Marian imagination requires the daily and habitual oblation of prayer, of emptying ourselves in praise and thanksgiving to Holy God, transcendent and incarnate and immanent, which for the Church is summarized by the threefold Regula, where Divine Office culminates in the Mass and lives out in Devotion. Can we doubt that Acts 2:42, the biblical basis for the Regula, is simply the method the first Christians, overshadowed by the Holy Spirit themselves, were driven to use to begin to emulate Our Lady, who lived fully to be united with Jesus? Because Mary's life, owing to the Annunciation, is trinitarian prayer itself.

Channeling - Information from Beyond
James K. Walker
People have long sought answers to spiritual questions outside God's word, the Bible. Historically these attempts at extra-biblical revelation have included new "scriptures" like the Book of Mormon or Bhagavad-gita; new prophets such as Joseph Smith; or through occultic "readings" as in astrology, or palm reading.
Lately there has been a revival of a fourth source of extra-biblical revelation. Similar to old-fashioned seances, this occultic practice involves the alleged contact with spirits of the dead who are temporarily invited inside the body of a practitioner to speak through the vocal cords of the host and give special messages from beyond the grave.
Called Spiritism in the 19th century, today this procedure is named Channelling.
"Seated in front of a hushed audience of 200 in a ballroom of the Red Lion Inn in Seattle, JZ Knight, 40, a lith blonde dressed simply in a white tunic, taps herself on the forehead and chest and closes her eyes. After breathing rhythmically for several minutes, she leans forward with clenched fists. In a guttural voice she announces that she is Ramtha, a 35,000-year-old warrior spirit who once conquered (the mythical city) Atlantis. `You need answers,' she/he rasps. `I am here to answer you'" (People, 26 January 1987, p. 30-31).
Channelling, also known as Trance-channelling, is one of the more bizarre examples of New Age practices that are sweeping the United States and Europe. And it is not just being performed by back-alley palm readers or in gypsy camps.
Available in the New Age sections of bookseller giants like B. Dalton and Waldenbooks is a large selection of books on channelling. These include entire books dictated under the influence of channelled spirits as well as "how to" books teaching readers how to contact their own "spirit guides."
The New Age Yellow Pages lists a number of non-profit organizations and educational institutions that promote channelling and the book, Channelers: A New Age Directory, contains the names and addresses of professional channelers in all fifty states and Canada.
Actual numbers are difficult to obtain. Most channelers operate independently without a central headquarters or official membership. However, the channelling movement is widespread. Two organizations alone, Spiritual Frontiers and Free Soul, boast a combination of 30,000 participants.
It is also difficult to estimate the dollar value of the channeling industry.
Charges vary widely but with more successful channelers the fees can be quite costly. Prices for the services of channelers may cost more than a visit to the family physician with some charging "up to $100 for a private session to $1,500 for a seminar" (Channelers: A New Age Directory, Robin Weston, p. 13).
Most Christians understand the desire of New Agers to seek supernatural, spiritual answers to life's challenges and questions. The problem most Christians see is that the source of these channelled messages is deceptive and dangerous.
There are three possible sources for the messages of the New Age channelers.
The Dead Masters Model
Most channelers claim to be receiving messages from the spirits of great masters, spiritual leaders, or historical figures who have through enlightenment and/or reincarnation gained spiritual truths that they now wish to impart from a higher plane beyond the grave.
These "masters" include Ramtha, a warrior who died 35,000 years ago who speaks through Knight; Mafu, a leper in first century Pompeii who speaks through Penny Torres; and Dr. Peebles, a nineteenth-century physician and philosopher who speaks through Thomas Jacobson.
Some channelers, like Helen Schucman author of A Course in Miracles, claim to channel Jesus Christ Himself (Channeling, Jon Klimo, pp. 40-41).
However according to the Bible generally and the teachings of Jesus specifically, channeling is incompatible with the Christian world-view. Christians have long pointed out the warnings against communication with the dead (Duet. 18:9-15; Isa. 8:19-20).
Jesus taught that those who die - even the righteous - are not able to share truths with the living. The rich man in Hell requested that a messenger from the dead be sent to give his family an important spiritual message (a phenomena not unlike channeling). He desired that righteous Lazarus return to his family to warn them, "lest they also come into this place of torment" (Luke 16: 19-31).
As important as that message was, Jesus taught that it was not to be shared by the spirits of the dead but was to be learned through the written teachings of "Moses and the prophets" (i.e., the Bible).
Because the Bible forbids Necromancy (communication with the dead) and rejects reincarnation (Heb. 9:27), Christians should reject any claim of revelation from these sources as valid. Therefore a Biblical perspective will rule out the "dead masters" model.
The Demonic Manifestation Model
If channelers are not communicating with dead teachers, who or what have they contacted?
New Age thinker, Jon Klimo, lists a number of possible sources. He notes that besides dead humans, some channelers claim to receive messages from fairies, sprites, elves, polytheistic gods and goddesses, UFO astronauts from other planets, animals such as dolphins, and even plants (Channeling, p. 168-184).
He gives several alternate explanations to channeling other than the actual contact with the spirits of the dead, plants, animals, and gods. He suggests the possibility of psychological phenomena based on the views of Freud and Jung. He also gives other possibilites based on parapsychology, psychophysiology, physics and paraphysics.
However, Klimo only briefly deals with another alternative, a source the Bible calls a familiar spirit or a demon. Klimo mentions the fact that some channelers do speak of "nonhuman demons, evil spirits, forces of Satan or Lucifer, and the `Dark Brotherhood'" (Channeling, p. 183).
He dismisses much danger in this, however, noting that: "the vast majority of human (as well as other kinds of) spirits reported to be channeled throughout history, and especially in the present, come across as benign, loving, and helpful.
"On the whole, the majority of recorded sources appear to be a good deal more spiritually evolved and oriented than most of us" (Ibid).
By judging spirits based on "how they come across" is to ignore the Biblical warning that "Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light" (2 Cor. 11:14).
The messages that demons give do not seem evil and wrong but warm and seductive.
The Bible explains that "Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils" (1 Tim. 4:1).
In order to teach their "doctrine" these "devils" will present their messages seductively. Would this not suggest that they would attempt to, "come across as benign, loving, and helpful?"
The Bible speaks of only one "Holy" spirit but suggests many more (possibly thousands or millions) of demonic spirits (Eph. 6:12, 2 Cor. 11:4).
This is why the Bible advises its readers to "believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world" (1 John 4:1).
The Deceptive Manipulation Model
A third and final possibility is that the channelers are involved with some form of deception or fraud. It could be in some if not every case, that the channelers are simply good actors and actresses.
Researchers in parapsychology like early pioneer, J. B Rine (1895-1980), of Duke University, have attempted with little success to "scientifically prove" such paranormal concepts as ESP based on experiments comparing the results of "gifted" subjects with mathematical probabilities of random guesses (ESP in Life and Lab, Louisa Rhine).
Far more difficult would be any objective test or study that could verify whether channelers are telling the truth.
The public should be even more sensitive to the possibility of fraud when they remember the lucrative financial package that so often accompanies a successful channeling practice.
One former follower of J.Z. Knight's Ramtha claims to have witnessed Knight "doing Ramtha" without going into the necessary trance state saying, "she did a better job of doing Ramtha than Ramtha. In fact, we couldn't tell the difference" (Newsweek, 15 December 1986, p. 42).
Some Christians themselves become victims of fraud in the name of spiritual manifestations.
Television evangelist Peter Popoff's claims to supernaturally discern information about his followers by the power of the Holy Spirit were debunked on national television.
The stage magician, James Randi, discovered that Popoff was utilizing a small radio receiver in his ear to pick up "revelations" from his wife who was off stage with a microphone (The Faith Healers).
If Christians can be deceived through the use of electronic devices and the tools of illusionists, certainly the followers of channelers should be wary of similar deception.
A basic overall theme of New Age channelers is a mixture of occultism and Eastern mysticism.
As Christian researcher Elliot Miller observed, while the methods and characters may vary, the main message always seems to be the same, "the central `truth' of this channeled `gospel' is the twin doctrines `You are God/You create your own reality'" (A Crash Course on the New Age Movement, p. 169).
Both doctrines are incompatible with Christian monotheism that teaches a personal God who is separate from his creation and that the creation has an objective reality.
A biblical approach to channeling rejects both its method and message is being ultimately demonic - regardless of its claimed sources.
As Elliot Miller concluded after a televised encounter with Penny Torres channeling Mafu: "My conclusion was that `Mafu' is probably, at best, a dissociated part of Torres's own consciousness, and at worst, her conscious creation [fraud].
"But in any case, through practicing the biblically forbidden art of mediumship, she has become a satanically energized and guided agent of deception. In other words, even if Mafu is unreal, Torres is probably possessed" (Ibid).

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa —
Authorities say a 51-year-old Colorado man has been given 10 years in prison for enticing an underage person to have sex.
Federal prosecutors say Richard Pearson, of Colorado Springs, Colo., was sentenced on Wednesday in Council Bluffs.
Pearson pleaded guilty in June to one count of coercion and enticement of a minor.
He must serve five years of supervised release after he leaves prison.
The indictment says the interaction between Pearson and the underage person occurred from mid-February to around April 20, when Pearson was in southwest Iowa. He'd driven there from Colorado to have sex with the minor.


A 2,500-year-old ancient city in southern Turkey that is located on a private property is up for sale for 35 million Turkish liras ($8.35 million), according to Daily Sabah.
The ancient city of Bargylia located in the Mugla province cannot be protected as the land has been a private property since 1927. The owners want Turkey's Culture and Tourism Ministry to expropriate it or exchange it for land elsewhere.
According to Daily Sabah, Bargylia is located 30 kilometers off Bodrum on the coast of Caria, between Lasos and Myndus. The ancient city has an amphitheater, a temple, a Roman bath and a necropolis from the Byzantine era.
The city was said to have been founded by Bellerophon in honor of his companion Bargylos, who had been killed by a kick from the winged horse Pegasus near Bargylia and the Temple of Artemis Cindyas.
So far no official excavations have been carried out and the area has been looted by treasure hunters and antiquities smugglers.
The report says that an ancient mosaic was destroyed and stolen by smugglers, while the city is filled with holes left from illegal excavations.
One of the co-owners of the land, 87-year-old Huseyin Ucpınar noted that they have been trying to sell it for years. The report says that he does not speak with other co-owners of the land, who reportedly got mad at him for trying to sell it.

Q: Characterization of fields in commutative rings. For the following, by "ring" I will refer to a ring with identity, and by "rng" to a ring wihout identity. By a rng-homomorphism I mean a ring homomorphism that does not necessarily preserves the identity (if it exists).

I know that if $R$ is a commutative ring, then the following are true:

*

*R is a field iff all non-zero rng-homomorphisms from it are injective.

*R is a field iff the only ideals of $R$ are $0$ and $R$.

My question is, is it necessary for $R$ to be both commutative and a ring? I.e., what if $R$
is just:

*

*A commutative rng.

*A (not necessarily commutative) ring.

*A (not necessarily commutative) rng.

Do $(1)$ and $(2$) still hold?

A: Kind of reading between the lines here because the body of your question does not mention "fields" like the title does.  Anyhow, the two conditions are still equivalent even for (possibly noncommutative) rngs. Ideals correspond to kernels of departing homomorphisms, and the two points you listed are just two equivalent ways of saying that the only possibilities are the zero homomorphism or an injective homomorphism.
But of course they are not necessarily fields.
There are many examples of simple rings with identity that aren't fields, for example a square matrix ring over a field.
For an example of a noncommutative ring without identity that is simple, you could take the endomorphism ring $E$ of a countable dimensional vector space over a field, and then extract the subring $R$ of transformations with finite dimensional images.
Reasoning in that last example: the ring $E$ is known to have precisely three ideals, and you are selecting out the one nontrivial ideal.  Furthermore the ring is von Neumann regular, and it is known in such rings that "is an ideal" is a transitive relationship in the sense that if $I\lhd E$ and $J\lhd I$, then $J\lhd E$. So any ideal of $R$ would necessarily be an ideal of $E$ (and we know there are none between $R$ and $\{0\}$.)  It is not hard to produce two transformations that don't commute, and to see that the only candidate for the identity is the identity of $E$, which is absent owing to its infinite dimensional image.
There are also trivial examples of commutative simple rings without identity that (obviously) are not fields: say, the ideal $2\mathbb Z/4\mathbb Z$ of $\mathbb Z/4\mathbb Z$.
In short, the proposition you are looking at is interesting in the commutative case because it says "commutative simple rings are fields."  Simple rings are very diverse and interesting in general noncommutative algebra, but they are much more nicely behaved when commutativity is added.


Teeth whitening treatments have become very popular in recent years as people look for ways to correct teeth that have been stained or yellowed due to years of drinking coffee and red wine, eating dark fruits, tobacco use, and even simple aging. In addition to the professional whitening treatments that are available at dental offices, store shelves are full of over-the-counter at-home teeth whitening products.
Not all teeth whitening treatments are safe, however. At-home whitening treatments have been shown to be quite dangerous. Irritation to the gums and tooth hypersensitivity can occur with overuse or lack of experience with the products. Because of these dangers, Europe has outlawed the sale of over-the-counter treatments, and all whitening treatments in European countries must now be directly overseen by a dentist and preceded by a dental exam.
In light of these concerns, manufacturers of whitening products have begun shifting there focus to stain prevention along with treatments that minimize the unpleasant side effects. Researchers have begun using nano-hydroxyapatite (nHAp) to help protect the surface of teeth through enamel remineralization and the formation of a coating that guards against acid erosion. It has also been found that nHAp can regenerate and repair enamel that has been weakened. In addition, when applied to teeth prior to whitening, nHAp significantly reduces the hypersensitivity that typically follows whitening treatments. Because of these improvements, more frequent whitening treatments can be performed without fears of the side effects that are generally associated with teeth whitening.
If you would like to learn more about advances in teeth whitening treatments, contact our teeth whitening dentist to schedule a consultation.

In Person: Kim Foreman
Posted by Dona Sturmanis | Jan 19, 2014 | In Person, Okanagan Women
Vivacious vocalista
Known for her leading roles with groups like the Kelowna Actors Studio, Viva Musica and the Celebration Singers, Kim Foreman's latest triumph is Theatre Kelowna's Sentimental Journey. "I wrote the original version in 1996 as a fundraiser. It was also produced here in 2005 as the first show Theatre Kelowna did in the Black Box Theatre," she says. "This time I was the director as well, which is incredibly gratifying."
Also a gifted teacher, Kim started Kelowna Voice Lab in 2012 with the intention of helping people "find their own unique voice whether that be for public speaking, singing karaoke or just doing a better presentation in business." Her students range from an eight-year-old boy with autism to a 70-year-old couple who want to sing together as their date night. "The most rewarding thing for me is to see that 'aha' moment when they step outside of their old comfort zone and surprise themselves with the beauty and power of their voice."
Kim's impressive qualifications include international training and experience with stints in Toronto, West Palm Beach, Los Angeles, New York and Europe. "My training and performing in New York City were real highlights and I was very lucky to have had some of the best theatre and music teachers in the business," says Kim. "Probably the most fun I had was doing student films for NYU and Columbia Film school graduates. Several of those student directors went on to become very big names in film."
Her many iconic roles include Maria in The Sound of Music, Mame in Mame (twice), Maria and Anita in West Side Story, and Nancy in Oliver. "I also originated the role of Nina in The Floating Palace in New York City and again in West Palm Beach. That was a particularly challenging role as I had to play concert level classical piano live on stage every night, in character. It was one of the most difficult things I've ever done."

On the home front, Kim's "very interesting and talented children" (Dylan, Justin and Eden Sterling) are all pursuing the arts in different realms. Kim is engaged to well-known Kelowna guitarist-vocalist Jim Rhindress. She says, "I am looking forward to a lifetime of making beautiful music both in and out of the house with him."
To keep up with her high-performance pursuits, Kim practices yoga, eats raw foods, takes supplements and stays creative. "I want to live to be 100 plus and I'm almost half-way there, but I only want to live that long if I can enjoy a great quality of life."
Currently writing another play and working on a duo act with Jim, Kim's motto is: "Visualize what you want, trust the universe—and work your ass off!"

Emmanuel Onwubiko: Nigeria's expensive 'supper' for terrorists
HomeAll Posts...Emmanuel Onwubiko: Nigeria's expensive...
November 17, 2020 Existential Threat - Fulani Herdsmen, Terrorists, Insecurity
Nigeria is no doubt the birth place of one of the World's most dangerous terror groups known as Boko haram. Ironically, Nigeria is the only nation in the World that goes to bed, dines and wines with terrorists in the name of reintegration and de-radicalization just as politicians have now opened a new Vista of money grabbing gambit from these avenues of reintegration of terrorists classifies funnily as 'REPENTANT TERRORISTS'.
Already, news are circulating that Justice ministry which has in the last five years failed to diligently prosecute terrorists is asking the National Assembly for a budget line of over N2billion to prosecute terrorists. At the same time, the Army has another juicy budget for the so-called reintegration and de-radicalization of terrorists.
Ironically, Nigeria has suffered much more than all of Africa put together from terror attacks when we compute the effects and the consequential negative impacts of terror attacks carried out in the last ten years since the insurgency began in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital.
Both in terms of human loses and infrastructural devastation, Nigeria has continued to receive a bloodied nose literally from the Islamic terror group that operate from the North East of Nigeria which is a vastly landed area that geographically is bigger than France and Belgium put together.
For purposes of statistical factuality we will consult both the united Nations and the office of the governor of Borno State to get the estimates of the destructions unleashed on the North East of Nigeria by the terrorists just as we will then be able to get the exact timeline and then we analyze the idiocy in the policy of appeasement that the current administration in Abuja is practicing even when Nations such as Niger, Mali and Chad have been decisive in dealing with terrorists in accordance with their local laws.
Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno State reportedly said that Boko Haram torched 47,615 houses, classrooms and municipal buildings in the last decade.
The over decade terrorism has also claimed 32,000 lives with property worth $9.2 billion (N3.42 trillion) in Borno, Adamawa and Yobe states.
Governor. Zulum disclosed this at the weekend to an 18-member House Committee on the North East Development Commission (NEDC) at Government House, Maiduguri.
According to him, the statistics on massive destruction of property are devastating and scaring. "The Boko Haram insurgency has also triggered acute humanitarian crises," he said, adding that the over a decade long terrorism has devastated the social and economic impacts on people.
He told the legislators that there were also "deepening fragility and poverty" in the Northeast sub-region. While lamenting massive destructions of property, he said: "The insurgents have destroyed over 400,000 houses in the state. About 5,000 classrooms were also torched.
"No less than 202 health centres were destroyed along with the torching of 1,613 water supply points," he said. He added that other infrastructural facilities and public buildings destroyed include, 713 energy distribution lines that plunged the state into darkness for over two years.
According to him, 800 municipal buildings were set ablaze, including hospitals, police stations and 22 council secretariat complexes.
Specifically Speaking on number of orphans and widows, Zulum disclosed, "we harvested a total number of 53,111 orphans, while about 54,000 women were also widowed by the terrorists." He said these are unofficial figures, noting the confirmed number of orphans and widows are more than 107,111.
"We also have over a million IDPs in the state," he said, stating that the task is enormous. He, however, noted that credit must be given to Federal Government, because about 22 councils were under the control of Boko Haram. He said that from September 2015 to date, most of the councils were fully recovered, despite the challenges being faced in the state.
Relatedly, from the international community came the report that the number of attacks by Boko Haram in northeast Nigeria and neighbouring countries has risen, and half a million children have had to flee to safety in the past five months, bringing the total number of displaced children in the region to 1.4 million, the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) said recently.
"Each of these children running for their lives is a childhood cut short," said Manuel Fontaine, UNICEF Regional Director for West and Central Africa, in a statement.
"It's truly alarming to see that children and women continue to be killed, abducted and used to carry bombs," he added.
UNICEF, together with governments and partners in Nigeria, Cameroon, Chad and Niger, is increasing its operations to assist thousands of children and their families in the region with access to safe water, education, counselling and psychosocial support, as well as vaccinations and treatment for severe acute malnutrition.
The agency's work in the region is almost 70 per cent underfunded, having received only 32 per cent of the $50.3 million needed for humanitarian efforts in 2015. Because of this, over 124,000 children in the conflict-torn area have not received measles vaccinations, more than 83,000 lack access to safe water, and over 208,000 are not in school.
"With more refugees and not enough resources, our ability to deliver lifesaving assistance on the ground is now seriously compromised," said Mr. Fontaine.
"Without additional support, hundreds of thousands of children in need will lack access to basic health care, safe drinking water and education."
Now let us read about how other African nations neighbouring Nigeria have dealt decisively with terrorists even when the government of Muhammadu Buhari in Nigeria is playing hide and seek with these mass murderers.
Malian jihadist leader, Souleymane Keita has been sentenced to death for terrorism.
Bamako Court of Assizes gave the judgement against Keita, head of Katiba of Ansar dine du Sud, and two men.
Boubacar Sawadogo, 51, and Moussa Maïga, 33, are Ansar Dine top members in their home country, Burkina Faso.
PANA reports that more than ten others were handed the same punishment in absentia.
All were accused of preaching jihad in southern Mali and on the border between Côte d'Ivoire and Burkina Faso.
Keita expressed no regret for his actions, insisting that their fight was against Mali's secularism.
"If I have the possibility, I will start again. I am not a terrorist; I am leading the jihad at the border between Mali, Burkina Faso and Côte d'Ivoire, in the name of Ansar Dine," he said.
Then, Chad has sentenced 10 members of the Islamist militant group Boko Haram to death on terror charges, after a three-day trial in the capital N'Djamena.
The 10 were convicted over their roles in twin attacks on the capital in June, which killed at least 38.
The attacks were the first by the Nigerian-based group in Chad, which hosts the headquarters of a regional force set up to fight the militants.
In July, Chad reintroduced the death penalty for acts of terror.
Opposition and civil liberties groups have criticized the new anti-terror legislation, saying it could be used to curb civil rights.
The men were found guilty of charges including criminal conspiracy, killings, wilful destruction with explosives, fraud, illegal possessions of arms and ammunition, and using psychotropic substances, according to chief prosecutor Bruno Mahouli Louapambe, quoted in AFP news agency.
The trial had been due to last eight days, but "due to security reasons it was speeded up and moved on Thursday to an undisclosed secret location," a judicial source told AFP.
Among those convicted was Mahamat Mustapha, aka Bana Fanaye, the man described as the "mastermind" of the attack by Chad's Interior Minister Abderahim Bireme Hamid.
The June attacks were followed by a blast at a market in the capital in July, which killed 15 people.
Chad has banned people from wearing the full-face veil following the bombings.
Boko Haram had previously threatened to attack Chad, after it sent troops to help Nigeria recapture territory from the militant group, mostly in Borno state.
Chad has been instrumental in helping Nigeria retake most of the areas Boko Haram had seized.
The jihadists, who want to create their own Islamic caliphate in Nigeria, have killed thousands and forced millions to flee their homes in the country's north-east Nigeria since 2009.
Even as Nigerian government has in five years failed to prosecute the terrorists and their sponsors, a middle Eastern nation has just done that.
Six Nigerians are facing prison terms of ten years to life after a federal appeals court in the United Arab Emirates upheld their convictions for funding the terrorist group Boko Haram.
According to The Daily Trust newspaper, the accused were initially tried and convicted last year following their arrest in 2017.
The court in Abu Dhabi Monday sentenced Surajo Abubakar Muhammad and Saleh Yusuf Adamu to life in prison. Ibrahim Ali Alhassan, AbdurRahman Ado Musa, Bashir Ali Yusuf and Muhammad Ibrahim Isa were each given a ten-year sentence.
The newspaper said the court judgement said that between 2015 and 2016, the accused transferred $782,000 from Dubai to Nigeria to benefit Boko Haram even as associates defended their actions, saying there was nothing criminal about the transaction.
From all of the above, it is clear that the Nigerian government does not want to be decisive in dealing with the issues of terrorists and their antics but the government is showing signs of a group of persons who have something to hide that the rest of the World don't know regarding why the government could be paying terrorists in the guise of rehabilitation and de-radicalization of terrorists when other nations are using the instrumentality of their local laws to try to eradicate terrorists from their territory. Nigerians should ask their government why the officials are harbouring sponsors of terrorists because the Court in Dubai found out that a top official of the government is the chief funder of terrorists in the North East of Nigeria. Nigerians need to petition the International Criminal court in The Hague NETHERLANDS and the President elect of the USA Mr. Joe Biden to intervene and ascertain why Nigerian government is not interested in stopping terrorists from killing Nigerians.

I'm addicted to my smartphone. I've become one of those people — constantly hunched over, absorbed in a glaring screen, bearing the telltale "text neck" ailment of our generation.
Don't get me wrong, technology has its pros. I can send work emails and write on-the-go. I love having a lightweight camera with me at all times (goodbye 500 lb. dSLR), ready to capture special moments. Having zero sense of direction, it's awesome to know that my homie, the GPS, is literally homing in on me, preventing me from getting lost a block away. I absolutely love being able to connect with family and friends from all over the world.
Daughter: "Mama, why do we float on water if there's gravity?"
Me (without bothering to paraphrase): "As long as the water your body displaces weighs more than you do, you float. You weigh less than the water you're in, because your lungs are full of air, like a balloon, and like a balloon, the air in your lungs lifts you to the surface naturally."
Unfortunately, there are downsides. You'd think that having a piece of tech that makes things more efficient would up my productivity level by 200%. Wrong. I spend most of my day reading junk, scrolling though nonsense, and "liking" a bunch of weird memes.
I'm so hooked on a gadget that I forget to live in the moment. Instead of spending quality time with my family over brunch, I'm more preoccupied with snapping photos of my food, reading about the ten best orange lipsticks, or cursing about how my supposed "unlimited 4G" is down to 2G.
It's making me sick too. On road trips, my eyes would be glued to the screen rather than soaking up beautiful views. Hello migraines and nausea! My 3:00 AM routine of going down the Instagram rabbit hole has definitely done a number on me. Every day I'm like a walking zombie, irritable as hell, pimples galore.
Out of sight, out of mind. I keep my phone on silent, in my bag/in a different room when I'm with the kids.
I've set an alarm every night at 7 PM to turn off my laptop and put my phone away. That way I can spend more time with the family, catch up on chores, and unwind before bed.
Speaking of bedtime, nighttime scrolling is the hardest habit for me to break. As much as possible, I try to read a book or watch a really boring documentary instead. Lulls me right to sleep.
Since I've made these changes, my iPhone's Screen Time app shows that I'm on my phone less and less each week... Baby steps!
Will you join me in my quest of (occasionally) going off the grid? How to you reduce your screen time? Share your thoughts and tips in the comments below.
Let's not forget how bad this is for the little ones, too. Our girl Luna amazed me as to how sensitive she was to my attention (or lack thereof) as early as when she was 4 months old. Now at 1.5 years old, if I'm with her and I look at my phone for more than a second, sometimes she'll outright grab it and put it away because she wants my undivided attention.
