Last month, the President of African Development Bank (AfDB) Group, Dr. Akinwunmi Adesina, at the opening session of lender's yearly general meeting, expressed worry that Nigeria and other African countries were de-industrialising.
This, according to him, is because between 2012 and 2018, Africa's industrial value-added declined from $702b to $630b – a loss of $72b, adding that industrial value-added dropped sharply in countries with the largest industrial output thus: by 41 per cent in Nigeria, 26 per cent in South Africa, 64 per cent in Egypt, and 67 per cent in Algeria.
He expressed concerns that the deceleration of industrial output in Africa is at the heart of the continent's massive youth unemployment, noting that 11 million youths enter the labour market each year, and only three million of them get jobs.
To create more quality and well-paying jobs, Africa, he said, must fast-track industrialisation.
Like other development agencies have noted, this narrative is not completely new, but what is worrisome is the preparedness of key actors to strive to change the status quo.
African countries including Nigeria, despite several industrial policies implemented by various policy makers within the pre-Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP) era such as Import Substitution Industrial Strategy (ISI), and the Export Promotion Strategy implemented in the post-SAP era, and the more recent Nigeria's Industrial Revolution Plan (NIRP), have witnessed slow growth.
The developmental success of the East Asian Tigers also called the newly industrialiSed countries (NICs) has been attributed not to their natural resource endowment, but to the transformation of their manufacturing sector, which has further culminated into rapid economic growth for these countries.
The AfDB argues that Africa is truly blessed. From vast and yet untapped agricultural lands that currently account for 65 per cent of the arable land left in the world, to rich deposits of natural gas, oil, minerals and metals, the continent brims with natural resources potential.
However, Africa simply exports mainly raw and unprocessed commodities, therefore making most of its economies often subject to global commodity price volatilities.
Given the enormous role the manufacturing sector is expected to play in the industrialisation of the economy, the question then arises of whether the Nigerian manufacturing sector is playing its part as the driver of the much desired economic growth within the economy and why, if it is not?
Is Nigeria De-industrialising?
DATA obtained from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), indicate that non-oil exports grew by 34 per cent in 2010, exceeding imports in 2012 before declining sharply in 2013. Since then, it has continued to decline steadily.
With imports far outstripping exports, it became apparent that local production is unable to sustain the Nigerian populace, especially as the environments in which many manufacturing firms operate becomes harsher.
The year 2016 will be remembered in the country's economic history as a challenging year, especially with the depreciation of the naira and its negative impact on the economy.
These challenges resulted in individuals and organisations seeking innovative ways to reduce costs and increase revenue.
Consequently, important economic players in the public sector, and in the manufacturing industry began to look inwards in a bid to explore avenues for development.
Specifically, monetary policies were deployed to promote import substitution as the first mechanism to check the dwindling naira in 2015.
The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) on May 3, 2015 excluded importers of 41 goods and services from accessing foreign exchange at the Nigerian foreign exchange markets, in order to encourage local production of these items.
The action according to the CBN was taken as part of efforts to sustain foreign exchange market stability, and ensure the efficient utilisation of foreign exchange, as well as, aid derivation of optimum benefits from goods and services imported into the country.
The apex bank noted that an average of $300m was being spent on 41 items on its restriction list from subsidised official foreign exchange window, thus making the apex bank expending an estimated $12.3b between January and May 2015 to subsidise importation of finished goods.
The CBN's Governor, Godwin Emefiele, who spoke on the foreign exchange policy then said: "The issue of those 41 items, unfortunately, is one that has been on my table.
But I think it is important that in the life of an economy, there is a need for us to take a look and ask ourselves: what really are we importing into this country?
When this thing started, we said: Why should we import rice? Why should we import toothpick? Why should we import palm oil?
At a point in this country, Nigeria was the largest producer and exporter of palm oil and we were controlling 40 per cent of the market share.
So, there is the need for us to say at this time when there is a scarcity of forex, it should be set aside for the import of items we cannot produce in this country."
In the recent past, manufacturers have been experiencing mixed fortunes.
For instance, while local palm oil producers witnessed a surge in revenue and capacity utilisation, manufacturers affected by the 41 banned items had to step up efforts to source for materials locally.
According to statistics from local operators, even though 2016 was a challenging year for their operations, it recorded growth in local substitution that may positively affect reduction in the nation's food import bill.
With improved access to forex, operators in the conglomerates sector also intensified alternative sourcing for critical raw materials for milk, sorghum, tomato, apparels, leather and wood, all of which were hitherto imported.
For instance, the Managing Director of Nigerian Breweries, Jordi Borrut Bel, said even though the operating environment is projected to remain challenging this financial year, alongside continued down-trading by consumers, the company will continue to improve on its value extraction from cassava and other commodities used as raw materials.
At a current sourcing level of about 50 per cent of its raw materials locally, the brewer is optimistic of achieving its 60 per cent target before 2020.
In terms of sourcing, local raw material utilisation increased to 65.70 per cent in 2017 from the 59.98 per cent recorded in the corresponding half of 2016, thereby indicating a 5.71 percentage point increase over the period.
Though local raw materials utilisation was on the increase across the sectors, Non-metallic Mineral Products Sectoral Group recorded the highest utilisation level at 70.5 per cent as against 60.08 per cent recorded in 2016, thereby indicating a 10.4 percentage point increase over the period.
In the Woods & Wood Products Sector, local raw-material utilisation increased to 70.1 per cent from the 58.75 per cent recorded in the corresponding half of 2016; thereby indicating 11.35 percentage point increase over the period.
It also increased by 1.49 percentage point when compared with 68.6 per cent recorded in the preceding half.
Local sourcing of raw materials in the sector averaged 69.4 per cent in 2017 as against 51.2 per cent recorded in 2016; thereby indicating 18.2 percentage point increase over the period.
Furthermore, the Chemical & Pharmaceutical Sector increased local raw-materials utilisation to 62.6 per cent in the second half of 2017 from 55.39 percent recorded in the corresponding half of 2016; thus indicating a 7.21 percentage point increase over the period.
Low Patronage, Parlous Infrastructure And High Interest Rates Dragging Manufacturing
LATEST data from the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN) showed that members' inventory — unsold goods — totaled N321.12b in 2017 as against N90.43b recorded in 2016, thus, indicating N230.77 billion or 255.19 percent increase over the period.
Similarly, the outcome of the May 2018 Business Expectations Survey (BES) conducted by the CBN revealed that even though respondent firms expressed optimism that the macro economy remained positive, they identified insufficient power supply, unfavourable economic climate, high interest rate, unclear economic laws, financial problems, unfavourable political climate, and insufficient demand as the major factors constraining business activities.
Indeed, the increasing number of unsold goods by manufacturers is a reflection of lower purchasing power and portends job losses and lesser private sector capacity to create jobs this year.
Sectoral analysis shows that significant proportion of inventory of unsold manufactured goods was observed in the Basic Metal, Iron & Steel Fabricated Metal group (N31.39b or 19.4 per cent); Chemical and Pharmaceutical sector (N25.87 or 16.0 per cent): Food, Beverage and Tobacco (N20.7b or 12.8 per cent), and Domestic/Industrial Plastic, Rubber & Foam (N20.54b or 12.7 per cent).
In a chat with The Guardian, the Director-General of the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI), Muda Yusuf, explained that the de-industrialisation witnessed in the country is as a result of a combination of several factors like low purchasing power, high unemployment, irregular payment of salaries both in the public and private sectors.
He added that improvement in forex liquidity is also a key factor as improvement in liquidity also increases the volume of imported goods that end up becoming competition for locally produced goods.
"As improved forex liquidity is impacting positively on manufacturers for their inputs, it is also increasing the importation of finished goods.
Rising energy costs are equally factored into production costs by manufacturers.
These variables end up affecting the sale of finished goods", he added.
On her part, NACCIMA President, Iyalode Alaba Lawson, noted that despite the consecutive decline in inflation rate alongside a positive growth in the economy, the inflation rate remains high and steps must be taken to redress the imbalance, especially for a country like Nigeria.
In expressing worry at the rising inventory, Secretary of Retail Council of Nigeria, Alhaji Kunle Hamzat said: "When you hold too much inventory, you are tying down your capital.
The shelf life of the goods is also threatened in the stores and this translates to losses for the manufacturers.
All of these are a fall out of the state of the economy. When an economy is not properly stimulated to increase people's buying power, this is what happens."
MAN President, Dr. Frank Jacobs, had earlier stated that the rise in inventory is attributable to low purchasing power of consumers.
According to him, even though access to foreign exchange has improved, there is a gap that is still void, adding that local producers have a huge inventory of unsold stocks lying in their warehouses.
"If local manufacturers produce and cannot sell, there is nothing that can be done.
The disposable income of the average Nigerian has been eroded.
We are trusting that government will continue to work on reducing inflation and making forex available while policies to ease business dealings in Nigeria are effectively implemented," he added.
Jacobs, however, urged government to offer effective and beneficial stimulus to interest rate sensitive sectors to further propel growth as the economy is still largely static and fragile and urgently requires stimulus.
He added that efforts should be made to consult with the Monetary Policy Committee to find ways and means of lowering interest rate to prevent the economy from being chocked and the rate of recovery being slowed down.
With average lending rate from commercial banks to the manufacturing sector peaking at 22.8 per cent in 2017, according to latest data from the MAN, operators are calling for government intervention in order for them to remain competitive.
"A survey of manufacturers by MAN shows that cost of lending to the manufacturing sector stood at 23.05 per cent in the second half of 2017, which is almost the same figure with 23.3 per cent recorded in the corresponding period of 2016.
However, it increased by 0.37 percentage point when compared with 22.65 per cent recorded in the preceding half," MAN explained in its H2 2017 report.
The Minister of State for Industry, Trade and Investment, Hajia Aisha Abubakar had at a forum in Ogun State, said plans were underway to ensure that from first quarter 2018, government will begin implementation on the reduction of interest rate for local manufacturers in order to tackle issues of rising interest rate in the sector.
According to her, "As government, it is our responsibility to continue to provide an enabling environment to sectors where you are involved.
We will go back and look at the sectors and see what the aggregate is for that sector for us to be able to come up with the aggregate to bear in that sector."
Also weighing on the issue, LCCI President, Babatunde Ruwase said: "With commercial bank lending rate at between 20-35 per cent, depending on the borrower and other factors such as acceptability of collateral, it is very difficult to successfully access fund by the private sector especially the SMEs.
"We note the efforts of government through CBN and the Bank of Industry (BOI) to extend intervention funds to operators.
"However, the range of beneficiaries and economic wide impact of government intervention funds remain very limited.
Investors in many sectors cannot finance projects profitably at an interest rate above 10 per cent. These sectors are majorly agriculture, real estate, solid minerals among others."
Similarly, the LCCI noted that Nigeria's gas pricing policy and high logistics cost have continued to negatively impact on production costs in the nation's manufacturing sector.
On gas pricing, Ruwase explained that the pricing policy have been imposing a lot of burden on the manufacturing sector.
"It is inappropriate to charge in dollars for a product that is produced in Nigeria and sold in naira.
Energy cost is a major component of cost and a major factor in the competitiveness of firms in Nigeria.
We need to address the issue of gas pricing to support the non-oil sector of the economy and promote the realisation of the objectives of Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP).
"The government needs to support investment in gas infrastructure in order to bring down the price of gas to end users.
This will enhance the competitiveness of our industrial sector as well as other sectors of the economy," he advocated.
He also called for improved regulatory framework in the economy, noting that the incidence of fake and substandard products as well as counterfeiting is on the increase.

Once upon a time, there was a princess named – "You Take Your Pick." Choose from the list of princesses permeating my little girl's world- Aurora, Cinderella, Snow White are the familiar to me. But ah-there's so many more-Ariel, Belle, Tiana, ….Wait for the new and improved Princess next year to add to the list. I'll choose a favorite- Cinderella.
Princess Cinderella lived in her shiny castle in the green hills full of flowers. One day she was getting ready for the Happy Birthday Ball. All of the sudden….VROOM- "You take your pick" ( Tonka, or Mater, or Chuck- my knowledge of Truck characters are limited. I choose Tonka – it just says Truck to me ) rides in.
"Well, I am getting ready for the Birthday Ball" says Cinderella.
"Can I come too?" Tonka asks.
"Well, I'm not sure. It's not for trucks. Only for princesses and princes. " answers Cinderella.
"Well, okay sure!" agrees Cinderella.
Tonka comes back to the princess who is decked out in a pink dress, wings, and a magic wand.
"Wanna ride on my truck Princess? " Tonka asks.
"Well, princesses are supposed to ride in a carriage." answers Cinderella.
"Okay, I will race you there. "says Tonka.
When both arrive at the party, all the other princesses look at Tonka.
"What he is HE doing here?" they all ask.
"Hello, Mr. Tonka. Do you like chocolate or vanilla cake?" one other princess asks.
"Mom, can I have a snack?" Tonka, (I mean my son,) shouts .
Ah, yes! For a moment, all was well when the Princess Cinderella and the Tonka truck played and pretended. It was like magic. Pure sweetness. Two polar opposite play themes intertwined together to make a happily ever after ( if you are a princess) or a cool ( if you are a truck) or clever- ( if you are a parent) play scheme.
The permeation of both trucks and princesses on the minds of my kids provides a happy play experience. I love the way imagination ignites when they take on these roles. To play together as Princess and Truck takes some serious planning and creativity in play improvisation. They can roll, jump, Vroom, race, transport, ( What else to trucks do?)They can dance, sing, prance around, wave, (What else is there for a princess to do?) The Princess in her and the Truck in him makes play a joy to watch and hear.
The permeation of Truck and Princess is also a nauseating one. I wasn't even feeling faint about this until I became a parent. I can't do the normal things in life without facing a princess or a truck. Want to buy some kid underwear? Truck or Princess are big options. You have to dig or really look for something different. You want to give them noodle soup for lunch? Princess and Truck pasta shapes – heat and serve. Brush your teeth, wash your hair, blow your nose ( no seen tissues out there yet right? ) you can do it with the help of a Princess or Truck.
For now, a big part of my kids play involves a certain Princess ( You take your pick) and a certain truck. ( I think I remembered another one- Hot Wheels) It has given them roles and ideas for play. They feel comfortable in them and it seems to come natural. ( and they haven't even seen a whole lot of Disney Princess or Truck movie stuff….yet) While they try on Princess and Truck for size, they might find they are compassionate, brave, fast, graceful, adventurous, hard working, creative, and fun. Perhaps through play, discovering more of who their Creator made them to be.
"Honey, would you like to color with me at the table?" I ask my daughter.
The Princess and the Truck live happily, cool, cleverly, ever after.


The scene on the way to Grant Park this morning was exciting. There was a buzz of energy in the air. The sky was clear. The temperature was cool, but not cold. I followed the crowd and finally located corral H. It took about 40 minutes from the time wave 1 started at 7:30am to get to the start. There were 40,000 runners! To put it in perspective, 27,488 runners lined up at the start of the Boston Marathon this year. Despite Chicago's massive number of runners and more than 1.7 million spectators, the race went smoothly.
I ran a really strong first half. I had no clue what my time was along the way because I forgot to look at the clock when I crossed the starting line, but I sensed it was a good pace. I don't think I went out too fast. I'm not a negative split runner no matter how hard I try. At a race I go with how I feel and inevitably in long distance races my second half is slower. I keep working on it though. Today everything was in sync for at least the first 15 miles.
Side note: I was having major iPhone battery issues prior to today. I bought a Mophie charging case so my battery wouldn't drain during the race. I have worn my wireless Plantronic headphones for long runs and last year's Hartford marathon with no issues. Darn it if the headphones didn't die around mile 15! I had warnings from around mile 11. I know they were fully charged going into the race, but maybe they are getting warn out. This was good practice for Big Sur next April. That marathon prohibits headphones. However, I don't think Big Sur has the incredible spectators that line nearly every inch of the Chicago Marathon. They are fun, loud, energetic and very supportive.
I may have lost a little pep in my step, but I kept chugging along, smiling, and high fiving spectators especially the little kids. The aid stations were plentiful. I got a kick out of the vaseline offered at nearly every aid station and then I started to feel like the body glide I had used on my bat wings under arms was no longer effective. I thought aha vaseline will be coming up soon!
Two things happened in the last 8 miles which made me slow down as well. My feet hurt all over, nothing I couldn't run through, but an awareness that these shoes need to be replaced. I knew I was taking a chance with them. The other issue was my stomach was not enjoying all of the sweet options on the course, Gatorade, shot blocks, and Powerade strawberry banana gel, my least favorite flavor. I drank water, but could no longer tolerate the Gatorade. I had brought a Larabar which I ate earlier from mile 6-10. I grabbed a couple of pretzels from a kind spectator who had a bowl of them out for runners. They were difficult to chew and swallow. Then at mile 24.5 like a glowing light saber appeared a cherry freeze pop in the hands of another angelic spectator. It was a little sweet, but the cold icy treat hit the spot.
Other than that nothing major happened. I ran the entire way save for 30 second to a minute walk through aid stations towards the end. I finished in 4:34:02. This represents 9 minute improvement on my 2015 Hartford Marathon time. I'm proud of it. I trained really well during a very hot summer while balancing work, Carlos on school vacation, and beginning grad school. I worked hard during the race too. I enjoyed myself and can honestly say I did the best I could.
We hung around for a bit after the race. Then walked the mile and a half to the hotel. In all honestly I probably did the equivalent of 2 full marathons since we arrived in Chicago! After a luxurious shower (because seriously every shower after a marathon is the best!), we went out to dinner. We decided to go back to the Chicago Diner because it offered something for all of us, it was open, and we didn't anticipate that we would have to wait for a table since it's a little bit removed from the race area. Also many restaurants were closed. I had cauliflower curry soup and the Soul Boul – blackened tofu, quinoa, flashed greens, mashed sweet potato, black beans, chimichurri. I really wanted this decadent peanut butter dessert, but I couldn't even finish my meal it was so filling yet not heavy if that makes any sense.
We stopped by this Millennium Park on our way home to check out this interesting illuminated photo exhibit. The photos were stunning and all were captured with a mobile device or tablet.
I think he wanted to fall in!
It has been a truly wonderful weekend. We leave later tomorrow so still have time for a little exploring, but we all agree Chicago is a place we would love to visit again!
I am so happy that you had a great race! I kept refreshing my laptop screen to see where you were on the course – you should be so proud of yourself!!
Super job Aimee! I wondered how you did, but only knowing your first name, had no way to track you🙁 I am glad you like our city and hope you come back soon to visit..
This entire post made me smile!
Glad you had such a great race! I also often don't want sweet later in a race and have also grabbed pretzels only to end up with a gobby dry mess in my mouth. Never quite as good as they sound in theory.
And that diner sounds awesome! I'm going to have to check it out next time I'm there.
As an aside, we have stumbled on outdoor photo exhibits a few times in our travels and I love them so much.
Take good care of yourself particularly the next few days!


All we understand is this: You, or an individual else has to determine first that there are purchasers out there; that there is a market. Just how you identify this is among the excellent questions of doing business in any type of venue. Thankfully, online there are study devices available beginning with the preferred (?) Google which can supply guidance in regards to searches. Amazon could Ebay.com could additionally provide you guidance.
Your vehicle has to be dealt with as well as lots of people do not consider things that makes your automobile go. There are three main points that make your car go. The very first thing is the engine; the 2nd is the battery, and also the 3rd is gas. If your gas is filthy from where you got fuel at after that you could want to check out obtaining a fuel cleaning for your vehicle. You are much better off to obtain the cleaner when you have a complete tank or close enough to a full storage tank in order for you to obtain your complete cash's worth on the item. If you assume your automobile requires fuel management then you should go on as well as place it in.
A large amount of excess gas which ends up being tough on the nozzle of the power injector and this is at some time responsible for causing the engine to operate poorly. This buildup takes place when the automobile cools down off.
Diesel generators are much heavier as well as louder compared to gas versions. Nonetheless, they do not utilize spark plugs to operate, thus they have one less component to fall short, and also do not cause a spark which could possibly be a danger in some scenarios. The energy is not unpredictable so it is non flammable, that makes it safer. The gas can likewise be saved for a long duration of time without spoiling. One issue with diesel what is fuel polishing is that it could thicken in chilly temperatures. This implies that additives should be utilized to preserve performance when it is cool out. Diesel generators do shed cleaner than gasoline ones, if that is a problem for the work. These generators are also more fuel reliable compared to gas vehicles. Diesel generators are typically much more pricey, nonetheless, they do last longer.
You have to need to strike terms with the thought that day-to-day living was meant to be a challenge. There is exceptional purpose to our struggles in daily living. We improve and discover extra as a human being during find diesel fuel polishing our durations of battle compared to we do for the duration of our moments of ease. Get in touch with any sort of couple that have been married for a sizable volume of time when their fondest memories are. Inevitably they will certainly state the early days of their relationship when they experienced to cut corners and also safeguard as well as fight. Yes, it was challenging, yet the aiming as well as operating along with each other introduced them nearer alongside one another.
Automobiles that are fuel infused need to have the throttle plate cleaned as well as/ or have the air-fuel mix changed. If your car has a carburetor it could require an adjustment.
The predicament of the small independent farmer in this country is well understood. Competition from huge farming corporations has actually put terrific stress on the independents to sell their farmland either to bigger companies or business contractors. When you purchase from the local farmer, you are doing your component to support and also keep an American custom.

Ethan and Katie Branscum are the kind of couple that you want everything to be perfect for. Fortunately, their wedding day was just that. Not only was the weather a dream for their outdoor wedding, but the leaves were breathtaking on the lawn of Old Main on the University of Arkansas campus.
What's your best tip for a bride planning her wedding?
Hire a wedding planner. Having a professional wedding planner is a huge help, and it allows you to keep things simple on your side. Amanda Reed from Bates~Reed Brides was incredibly knowledgeable on all the nitty gritty details, which saved me tons of time and energy. All I had to do was tell her what we were looking for and she made it happen just like that! Plus, the wedding day is a breeze because you don't have to be the correspondent for everyone, which allows you to enjoy your big day to the fullest. More time for dancing? Yes, please!
Tell me about your dress selection.
In the early stages of planning our wedding (confession: maybe before our engagement...), I thought of where my absolute favorite place in the world was. That place was Old Main Lawn on the University of Arkansas campus... but not just at any time. It had to be in the prime of Autumn, when the leaves were all but on fire, bursting with reds, oranges, and yellows. Sigh. My happy place. Ethan and I also met on the University of Arkansas campus, so when I took this idea to the groom, he happily confirmed!
What is the best memory you have of the wedding day?
Hands down, the first look. Some people say they want to save this special moment for when they are walking down the aisle. In no way did I feel like our first look took away from our special moments during me walking down the aisle. Doing a first look and walking down the aisle can both be very special in their own ways. Bonus #1: It's a great opportunity to get the roller-coaster emotions out of the way. Bonus #2: It's an intimate and special time to have alone with your groom. Bonus #3: First looks are a great way for your photographer to snag some frame-worthy and heartfelt images--and Dale certainly did that for us!
Tell me something special about your wedding!
Ethan and I are both twins--how fun!!--so it was very special for both of us to have our twin brother and sister there supporting us as the Best Man and the Maid of Honor. The friendship that twin siblings have between each other is so special and strong that marriage can be tough because it's almost like you are leaving your twin for your spouse. Fortunately, we both still have very solid relationships with our twin siblings since our marriage, and we don't anticipate that changing anytime in the future!
What is the best thing about Benfield Photography being there on your wedding day?
Dale is so great about making you feel like you've been friends your whole life. So when it's time to take pictures, whether that be portraits or the actual wedding day, it's very comfortable. We never felt like we had to stop and smile for the camera (unless it was a portrait); Dale blended right in with our wedding day and captured us so well in our natural element. I am so glad we chose Benfield Photography because he completely MADE our wedding day.
Dale started Benfield Photography in 1998 as a way to pay for college. After earning his Master's Degree and teaching college photography, he decided to transition into a full-time photographer. Since then, he has photographed more than 500 weddings all over the country and abroad. He has also published two books on photography and business.
Dale loves cooking, entertaining, Hallmark Christmas movies, Jesus, kittens, and his two daughters, Cece and Ellie.
Benfield Photography photographs weddings in Arkansas, California, and worldwide. He's photographed weddings in Rome, proposals in Paris, New York City weddings, Dallas weddings, Memphis weddings, Austin weddings, Los Angeles weddings, Napa Valley weddings, San Diego weddings, Aspen weddings, and many more.


I would like to expand upon Dennis Keeney's fine column of Sept. 21 on the plight of the monarch butterfly.
I have worked on these butterflies for 15 years, and Mr. Keeney cites my research in his article. He notes that the population crashed in 2012 and 2013 because of bad weather, but by that time, the population had already declined by 65 percent since 1999.
Our data show that this decline was primarily due to the loss of milkweeds in the Midwest, the primary breeding area for monarchs.
Between 1999 and 2012, almost 99 percent of milkweeds in Midwest agricultural fields disappeared due to the use of Roundup herbicide (glyphosate) in conjunction with Roundup Ready corn and soybeans.
I have estimated that this amounts to a loss of more than 700 million milkweed plants. In addition, the conversion of grassland and CRP (Conservation Reserve Program) land to cropland in recent years has increased the total number of milkweeds lost to about 1 billion.
This constitutes a 64 percent decline in milkweeds in the Midwest.
The number of milkweeds sets an upper limit on the size of the monarch population; weather can determine if this limit is reached.
Because of the loss of milkweeds only a small population can now be supported.
This makes the population more vulnerable to weather events like those in the breeding range in 2012 and 2013 and on the overwintering site in Mexico in 2002 when a winter storm killed 500 million butterflies, 75 percent of the population (for comparison, last year's overwintering population totaled only 33 million).
There are solutions. Clearly, we have to plant milkweed to replace some portion of those that were lost.
The two habitats that have the most potential for milkweed augmentation are roadsides and CRP land, which together harbor the majority of milkweeds that remain today.
To increase milkweeds in roadsides we can ramp up the ongoing efforts by programs such as the IRVM (Integrated Roadside Vegetation Management) to plant native vegetation along roadsides.
Roadside managers could also be made aware of the negative impact that spraying and mowing roadsides have on milkweeds and monarchs. CRP land is an especially promising habitat for milkweed augmentation; there are 5 million acres of CRP land in the Midwest suitable for milkweed.
Farmers are compensated for setting this land aside from crop production but must plant cover species to prevent erosion.
Milkweed seed could easily be added to the seed mix used for this purpose.
There already exist special CRP programs that involve creating pollinator-supportive habitat.
These could be expanded. To induce farmers to add milkweed to their CRP land we need financial incentives and readily available milkweed seed and propagation expertise.
I am currently working with fellow biologists, representatives of the farming community, industry and federal agencies on these initiatives.
I want to also recognize the contribution of individuals who plant milkweed in their yards.
If we are successful in all of these efforts we may be able to marvel for years to come on the migration of monarch butterflies.

Devastated father forced to choose between saving the life of his wife or newborn daughter
by Joe Clark | Jan 12, 2019 | Featured | 0 comments
It's one of the worse nightmare scenarios any human being ever has to face: having to choose between two people you love deeply when only one of them can live.
When Keyvonne Connie became pregnant with her baby girl, she never dreamed she'd be asked to die for her. But every mother is willing to do that, and her husband Frederick knew that.
On November 30th, Keyvonne still had nearly two months left in her pregnancy when she began hemorrhaging at home. A terrified Frederick asked:
"I'm like are you OK? And I see blood everywhere."
He rushed her to the hospital, and doctors gave him a devastating choice: you can save one…which one do you choose to save?
"It was either give her the surgery first and maybe save her life, but you're going to lose your daughter. Or your daughter can be saved but there's a chance you might lose your wife," Frederick Connie told FOX31.
Frederick chose to take the chance on saving the baby and the doctors began an emergency C-section and Angelique Keyvonne Connie, nicknamed "Pooder," was born.
"I gave her her mom's name. She's going to know her mom. I'll make sure of that," Frederick said.
Keyvonne lived long enough to see photos of her baby girl. Then, she began to rapidly decline.
"Literally all of her insides just went all over the bed and the floor," he said. "They tried [to save her] and her heart couldn't take it. She died before they could even get her to the surgery."
Frederick stayed with the baby.
"They got me a room in labor and delivery and I'm the only man to ever have a room in the labor and delivery and the mothers there said it was OK," Connie said.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1Y5-6w1vqE
Frederick has no regrets because he knows it's what Keyvonne would have wanted.
"I am glad I made the decision, because in the end, if Keyvonne could have survived, she would have hated me for the rest of my life because I know how she felt about kids," the widower explained
He has a tough road ahead of him, raising this baby girl on his own, but he's confident he'll be OK.
"I'm [ignorant] on changing diapers but I'm going to learn. I'm going to be a full-time father to her," Connie said.
All of our hope and love go out to this brave father and his beautiful little girl.

There are surely thousands of recipes for meat loaf, from the most basic off the side of the oatmeal box to elaborate stuffed and gravied creations. My friend Diane B once wrote a funny article about her "man loaf" recipe for a meat loaf stuffed with an Italian sausage, served with a side of cardiac arrest. I prefer to make my meat loaf on the boring side with onion soup mix and breadcrumbs. My mother always made baked potatoes along with meat loaf. However you prefer to make yours, enjoy! Meat loaf is the homey comfort food of America.
Okay, it's not "man loaf," but it looks similar to mine, minus the sausage and side of cardiac arrest. My least favorite part of meat loaf is it tends to either be dry or too mushy. This looks like it would have a good balance with the nice addition of swiss cheese.


Ras Al Khaimah is not currently included on the itineraries of any cruise ships homeporting in the Arabian Gulf for at least the 2018 and 2019 cruise seasons, although it has been included in ad hoc port calls over the years.
"Ras Al Khaimah has been receiving cruise ship visits since 2000 when the small expedition ship 'Shearwater' called into Mina Saqr. The berths at Khor Ras Al Khaimah have also received similar sized vessels despite cruise visits not being a targeted market for the Emirate," says Tony Walsh, an Oman based cruise expert and the author of 'Bradt Guide to Oman'.
This is a state of affairs that the ruler of the emirate wants to change.
One of the seven emirates of the UAE, Ras Al Khaimah has identified cruise tourism as a key pillar in the future development of the country's northernmost emirate. To start with, it has begun development of the city's first cruise terminal, a 1,000sqm terminal building that will stand on 860m of quay wall, enabling multiple cruise ships to dock simultaneously.
Initially, it will be able to handle ships up to 214m in length and the creek and entry channel to the port has been dredged to 7.5m to accommodate larger cruise ship's greater draft.
The plans will likely see Ras Al Khaimah transformed into a popular port of call on the Dubai cruise run. The city has until now only been visited by smaller, boutique cruise ships, such as Island Sky, operated by Noble Caledonia. Tony Walsh, the Oman-based travel journalist and author of 'Bradt Guide to Oman', was aboard one such cruise in 2011.
"RAK Ports is working closely with RAK Tourism & Development Authority in partnership to ensure that we provide the passenger the right experience and shore excursion opportunities and programs will be developed and shared with cruise lines over the next few months," Justin Wardle, Port Operations Manager at RAK Ports, told Seatrade Cruise News.
The new Ras Al Khaimah Cruise Terminal is scheduled to open in February, 2018. It has been converted from the existing passenger ferry terminal, with new state-of-the-art security measures such as facial recognition CCTV, luggage and personal baggage X-Ray machines and metal detectors installed. Eight new e-gates and eight immigration officer desks have also been added in December.
The new upscale cruise terminal will feature a concierge service, Wi-Fi and duty-free retail shopping.
The architectural style of the exterior of the building is in keeping with traditional Arabic design, synonymous with many of the buildings located in the historical Old Town of Ras Al Khaimah – and in particular the Ras Al Khaimah Museum, which is just a few minutes walk from the city centre cruise terminal.
With 64-kilometres of coastline, pristine desert and mountain landscapes and a spate of new international hotel brands opening along its 'tourist strip', Ras Al Khaimah is a new holiday destination within the UAE, popular with expats and some overseas tourists, but it is now planning to up its game.
The emirate received 828,772 tourists last year and is on target to attract one million visitors annually by end of 2018.
"In the last two years we have been focusing on the international diversification of our visitor source markets, from which we continue to see double digit growth, as we promote our offering to the three key leisure segments, including active adventurers, wellness seekers and cultural explorers," says Mattar.
"I feel that with the distinct difference between Ras Al Khaimah and Dubai or Abu Dhabi the Emirate will have little difficulty in exceeding its intended 1 million visitors before 2020," adds Walsh.


The limited 2 CD digibook features an audiobook of Anna Murphy telling the story behind the concept.
8.3 It's odd that Anna Murphy's druidic side should emerge more fully post-Eluveitie. Cellar Darling's debut pulled from the occultic weirdness that she had explored more with Lethe, Nucleus Torn, and other projects, lashing these macabre tendencies to a deceptively heavy rock skeleton. The Spell sounds tighter and more confident in exactly the way a sophomore album should.
This could be minimum the Surprise of the Year!
Very well crafted album, definitely better than the previous one. Being a concept album is a bonus in my point of view.
This is SO good. I liked the first album moderately, I didn't expect this one to be on another whole different level. Maybe it's just me being a sucker for concept albums, but I'm loving this a lot.


These items are the new Blood Spirit and can be used for crafting. They are acquired from disenchanting raid quality items and as such will be very rare and expensive at the start of the patch.
Final EDIT: This will be overshadowed in patch 5.4 by Spirit of War which introduces a major change to raid craftables.
I can confirm that today 3/12/2013 that I used my extra roll on the second boss in the LFR (Horridon) and ended up receiving two Dinomancer's Spiritbinding Spire. I went ahead and disenchanted one of them since they're obviously BOP and I received two Sha Crystal and one Haunting Spirit. The other drops I received are all viable upgrades, so I do not currently have a way to test this again to see if it's repeatable.
Disenchanted 522 Mender's Battletags neck from valor tokens for neutral Shado-pan Assault.
Gave 2 sha crystal, 0 Haunting Spirit spirit.
Disenchanted 502 LFR Robes of Static Bursts this morning - got 1 Sha Crystal and no Haunting Spirit - so definitely not 100% drop.
They are only obtainable via disenchanting items from LFR, Normal and Heroic raid instances. However, they do NOT have %100 drop chance. For instance; I just had chest drop from Jin'rokh the Breaker (Raid Finder) since I didn't need, I DE'd it and I got only 1xSha Crystal, nothing about Haunting Spirit.
The other day, Stolen Relic of Zuldazar dropped in our 10 man Throne of Thunder raid. I disenchanted it and to my surprise I received 1 x Sha Crystal and 0 x Haunting Spirit. I opened a ticket and here's a section of the reply.
So as confirmed by a GM, Haunting Spirit does not drop 100% of the time from disenchanting ilvl 522 gear. I do believe the drop rate is much higher than the 50% chance the GM is suggesting because I have never failed to receive a Blood Spirit from disenchanting ilvl 489/496 gear.
Am I the only one that thinks this is seriously bad and that Blizzard should reduce the amount of Haunting Spirit required for making items?
My problem with the whole Haunting Spirit / Blood Spirit thing is that historically speaking, crafted epics were a supplemental equipment choice for players. Now, the only way they're crafted at all is if nobody can use the gear. Not only that, but you HAVE to have an Enchanter in the raid group.
Never crafted any gear who needed Haunting Spirit, Blood Spirit or anything else , just because when u are able to buy and craft then, u already got overgeared for this kind of recipe and it goes to forgetfulness.
I can confirm the trinket you get out of a Timeless Curio can DE into a Sha Crystal and a Haunting Spirit. Altough regular Timeless plate and cloaks only drop Sha Crystal after a few dozen of DEs, is not 100% chance!
Rejoice! Enchanter's Study Level 1 in your Garrison can now disenchant Pandaria gear, which is great news for those of us who need this item for crafting transmog gear but doesn't yet have an Enchanter who can solo the raid.
"The spirit refuses to leave the mortal plane, and will bind itself to items of great power."

Please note that if you want to visit the ancient culture trail, let Tihuse Horse Riding know about it. For more information, please send an inquiry already when booking.
The horses are steady and when sitting on the saddle and you can admire the variety of nature and picturesque landscapes. Horses are assigned to riders based on their level of riding experience. Also, taken into consideration is compatibility - the horse best suited to you as well as the level of difficulty and duration of the trip. All routes will be led by an experienced guide. As the Estonian native horse is rather small, Tihuse Horse Riding cannot offer horseback riding to people who are heavier than 110 kilograms. However, you are welcome to the joyful carriage and sleigh rides.
Due to safety considerations, the maximum size of a group per one guide is 11 people. Usually, the groups are smaller. Tihuse Horse Riding reserves the right to make riding groups according to the riders' skills. A group is formed of people with the same level of riding skills. If there is a timid or less experienced rider in the group, the speed is chosen according to him / her. To ensure your safety it is obligatory to wear a riding helmet and if you do not have one with you, Tihuse Horse Riding can provide you with it.

Note: Normally, people will arrive around dinner time for the first day and you will start with the ridings on the next day.

Tihuse Horse Riding to Tallin is located about 153 kilometers. Muhu Island is a 430-million-year-old coral island. There are 52 villages on the island. Muhu Island has a kindergarten, basic school, nursing home, post office, pharmacy, out-patients' center, shops, and three churches. Moreover, you will enjoy a long ride to one of the following places:
Pädaste Manor
Pädaste forests are well known for its fascinating colors and a large variety of different flowers especially in spring and in autumn. In summer, the Pädaste Cove invites you for a swim.
Võilaid
On the Islet of Võilaid, young horses and bovines live freely. Pasturing cattle creates ideal conditions for a very rare species of bird in Europe called dunlin (Calidris alpina schinzii). There are about 140 pairs of these birds in Estonia.
Koguva
Koguva is the best preserved living village complex in Estonia. The center of Muhu Museum is Tooma Farm, which was the home of the well-known Estonian writer Juhan Smuul.
Üügu
The north-eastern coast is hemmed in with smaller and bigger cliffs. The approximately 450 meters long Üügu cliff is the largest and most attractive of Muhu Island. Visit the "Goat Chamber" and "Roebuck Room" caves and the magic Eye Spring.
Muhu stronghold
In the old times, Muhu together with Saaremaa were the most densely populated areas in Estonia. The eight-meter-high walls of the stronghold were built by people. Muhu stronghold was a scenery for one of the last battles in 1227 before Estonians were conquered by the Livonian Order. The Chronicle of Henry of Livonia speaks about 20,000 men beleaguering the castle for five days, Older Rhime Chronicle of Livonia speaks of 2,500 were being killed and only one managing to escape. While building a dam over the small strait in the 19th century, the stones from the fort's strong walls were used as the filling material. A memorial stone dedicated to the tragic historical event is in the yard of the stronghold.
Tamse School
Tamse School started its activity lead by Mihail Pallas in the old manor house in 1919. The latter was the headmaster until 1932 when the school was taken over by Karl-Osvald Juht, who managed the school until his deportation in 1941. K.O. Juht continued active social life at Tamse. The number of pupils in the school was 50 to 80 years old before the war. The number of pupils increased when it became a six-year school in 1930. In 1940, the construction of a new school house according to the design of Jaagup Linnakivi started at Tamse. Due to the war, the work was hindered and was actually never completed.

LG Q6 Price in Pakistan & Specifications
SKU: Q6
1.4 Ghz Octa Core CPU
Li-Ion 3000 Battery
LG Q6 Price in Pakistan
LG Q6 Price in Pakistan is Rs. 12,999. Super-duper-duper-duper They are planning to introduce a mini version of their Q6 smartphone, which will be a smaller version of their flagship device, which was launched in February 2017 and was a huge success for the company.
It is speculated that all of its specifications will be identical to those of the flagship device, which is expected to be a mini version of the flagship device.
LG's Q6 specifications sheet is straightforward, and you can quickly grasp the relationship between the many components of the smartphone in question.
Each and every component of the LG small Q6 is incomplete without the second component, so I'm going to define each and every component in-depth so that you can understand the function of the various components of the smartphone in greater detail.
The display of the LG Q6 has been equipped with IPS technology, which has resulted in a display that is both bright and vibrant, while the usage of 16M colors has elevated the formerly dull display to a whole new level.
Because of the Q6's multi-touch capabilities, this phone is quite dependable when playing games or using more than one finger at the same time to operate.
The Q6's 5.4-inch diagonal has packed everything so meticulously that there is no danger that it will fail you at any point during its whole lifetime.
The Q6 is controlled by the Android operating system 7.1.1 Nougat, which controls all of the device's functionalities and regulates all of the command movement within the device.
On top of the Qualcomm MSM8937 Snapdragon 430 chipset, an octa-core CPU with a 1.4 GHz clock speed is embedded, and the cortex A53 of the Q6 by LG maintains a tight check on battery usage and processor output.
The Adreno 505 GPU works in tandem with the CPU and cortex A53 to ensure that the visuals of the LG Q6 remain healthy and that you receive the results you expect when playing games or using high-end graphic programs on the device.
Inside the device, there is 64 GB of internal storage, and LG has decided to equip their latest product, the Q6, with 3 GB of RAM in order to combat the challenges associated with multitasking.
OS Android v7.1.1 Nougat

The Knox County Sheriff's Office is investigating an incident in which a man was found in the truck of his own car on I-40 Saturday.
The Knox County Sheriff's Office is investigating an incident in which a man was found in the truck of his own car on Interstate 40 Saturday.
KCSO deputies responded to a call at I-40 and Papermill after TDOT was dispatched to an abandoned blue Honda Accord, where the victim was found trapped in the trunk.
The victim said that he was in his apartment on the 7300 block of Clinton Highway when multiple suspects entered and demanded money from him.
The victim was beaten by the suspects and suffered several head wounds, according to KCSO. The suspects allegedly stol an undisclosed amount of money and placed the victim in the trunk of his car.
KCSO reported that the car broke down on I-40 at Papermill, at which point the suspects abandoned the car. It was unclear how the suspects fled or which direction they were traveling.
KCSO is currently investigating the incident.
This is a developing story. More information will be added as details emerge.


This module has allowed for various objectives to be worked towards and learning objectives to be met, whilst working towards objectives 1, 2, 3 and 4 in relation to my research topic. I have found this module really enjoyable, and have utilised different research methods and methodologies in order to achieve a practical outcome for Practice 1 and dissertation for Professional Context 2 also. In addition this module has allowed me to make critical judgements and discussions in order to meet the learning objectives, which can be found below.
This module has allowed for various objectives to be worked towards and learning objectives to be met, whilst working towards my objectives in relation to my research topic.
This module I have met up and interviewed with those contacted in order to gain the best research to work towards answering my research question and meeting my objectives/goals, in both the UK and Japan, such as speaking with Vogue Japan, ASOS and Tam Dexter for example, (objectives 1.A, 1.B, 2 and 3) and both British and Japanese participants of my anonymous participant questionnaire (25 participants in total) (objective 1.A, 1.B, 3).
I have found researching into key theoretical perspectives to be key to working towards my goals and objectives, and have found that my practice informs my research, and in turn, my research also informs my practice (see Practice 1 Reflection/Evaluation post). In addition to the theories researched in Semester 1, I have also found that further research has been needed into other tightly-related theories in order to strengthen/critique points in my dissertation and emphasise triangulation.
Furthermore, discussion of different perspectives as of that of Brittany Rhodes, and male perspectives as found in my anonymous research questionnaire, and literary/article-led research has also strengthen research and theoretical perspectives, (objectives 1 and 3), whilst strengthening my practical work; (objective 4). This as noted, has allowed for a different perspectives to be considered in regard to my research question, and have allowed me for the reflect on both my practice and current research to date, whilst also informing a new sub-section of my dissertation which otherwise would not of been included.
In order to carry out the above, the LCA ethics policy has been of most importance whilst deigning and planning my research studies, as well as writing a consent form and information sheet to be distributed to participants in due course. These were sent to those who are being interviewed in advance for forward planning, and have undergone ethical checks by both my tutor and the course leader. This way of working/research is something which I have got used to doing and have found this good practice, and has also enabled my participants to fully understand the project, their role, pros, cons and details on data use, confidentiality and assessment for example. In regard to the online anonymous participant questionnaire, similar ethical checks were also undertaken by the college in order to check suitability before being shared with the Fashion courses in the college, and before being sent out/distributed via social media platforms (objective 1.A, 1.B and 3).
In addition to this, two field-research trips to both London and Tokyo were undertaken in January in order to gain different perspectives, insights and both comparable and quantifiable data, in aim of working towards objectives 1 – 4 specifically. Evidence of this can be found throughout my blog in regards to planning, itineraries and findings. I found that by planning ahead for such trips and planning both research and practical work in advance, time management this semester was better utilised, whilst taking into account the feedback given last semester in regard to my approach to documenting my findings in a more concise manner.

The US. Senate has passed a bipartisan bill sponsored by U.S. Senators Michael Bennet (D-CO) and Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) to expand membership in Blue Star Mothers of America to more mothers of current or former military service members. The bill passed with broad bipartisan support.
Blue Star Mothers of America is a congressionally-chartered, non-political veterans service organization that supports mothers of service members, promotes patriotism and democracy, and organizes service projects to support the troops.
"As a military spouse and member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, I deeply appreciate the invaluable support that our Blue Star Mothers provide not only to our men and women in uniform, but to their families," said Senator Ayotte. "Expanding membership opportunities will enable more women to become involved in this patriotic organization and to support America's brave service members and their families who have sacrificed so much for our freedom and security."
Last year, the Blue Star Mothers of America, Inc. voted to update its charter for the 21st century. It expanded membership opportunities for more women who have supported service members in new conflicts and addressed the composition of today's family. This bill updates the Congressional Charter to reflect that vote and is fully endorsed by the Blue Star Mothers of America, Inc.
Expand membership to eligible mothers living outside of the U.S.
Rep. Scott Tipton, along with 51 representatives, has introduced a similar bipartisan bill in the House of Representatives.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is solving problems that seemed well beyond our reach just a few years back. Using deep learning, the fastest growing segment of AI, computers are now able to learn and recognize patterns from data that were considered too complex for expert written software. Today, deep learning is transforming every industry, including automotive, healthcare, retail and financial services.
This introduction to deep learning will explore key fundamentals and opportunities, as well as current challenges and how to address them.
James McClung leads NVIDIAs High Performance Computing business in the UKs Higher Education and Government Research sector, meaning that he spends most days talking with the UKs leading computational research groups about the opportunity surrounding Artificial Intelligence.
This talk will focus on where the recent wave of AI has come from and cover some simple questions to ask if you're looking to adopt the technology.

Q: How to automatically switch to backup outlet if power goes away? So I have two 220V outlets side by side. One of them has power all the time, the other is unreliable but has cheaper power. I'd like a device that uses the unreliable when power is present but switches to the normal when it's not. What is this called?

*

*Maybe some kind of failover switch I could just buy?

*Relay switch cotrolled by a Raspberry Pi via GPIO?

*UPS with dual power inputs?

Load is ~1700w and it's not a problem if the failover happens in an interrupted way. I would prefer something inexpensive.

A:
simulate this circuit – Schematic created using CircuitLab
Figure 1. A relay transfer switch with supply 1 priority.
How it works:

*

*If supply is present on L1/N1 then RLY1 is energised and the load is powered from L1/N1.

*If supply is lost on L1/N1 then RLY1 is de-energised and the load is supplied from L2/N2.

The relay needs a 220/230 V coil and contacts capable of 10 A (a little safety margin).
This system would be quite suitable for a resistive load such as heaters or lamps.
With inductive loads - think of devices with coils such as motors and transformers - there is a problem. Inductance "tries to keep the current going" and this causes arcing on the contacts. The situation is much worse if the two supplies are significantly out of phase. In the worse case you might switch from one supply at peak positive to the other at peak negative and cause high currents to flow for some milliseconds. You'll need to assess whether you can tolerate this.
If you decide that it can then purchase a contactor (high power AC relay). Again 220/230 V coil, and changeover contacts rated at 20 to 30 A should give you good reliability. This is most likely to be a 3-phase device (three contacts) but you'll only use two.
Both supplies need to have the appropriate circuit-breaker protection.
