Big Game Hunting: Peyton Ramsey-led Northwestern bids for 3-0 start vs. Nebraska
Why has Ramsey, a graduate transfer from Indiana, been as valuable as any Big Ten player? Because he's capable, experienced, legit. It might not sound like much, but it's everything and then some for the Wildcats.

Share All sharing options for: Big Game Hunting: Peyton Ramsey-led Northwestern bids for 3-0 start vs. Nebraska
With Peyton Ramsey at the helm, Northwestern's offense just kind of works.
Peyton Ramsey has thrown for 342 yards and one touchdown in his first two games as Northwestern's quarterback. His stat line is about as dazzling as a putty knife or a toaster waffle.
So why has Ramsey, a graduate transfer from Indiana, been as valuable in the early going as any Big Ten player? Because he's capable, experienced, legit. It might not sound like much, but it's everything and then some for the 2-0 Wildcats.
''It was a lot easier once he got here,'' receiver Kyric McGowan said.
You don't plummet to 3-9, as the Wildcats did in 2019, by being any good. But that record hardly indicates how dismal things were for the team offensively. How does 117 yards per game through the air sound? How about an almost impossibly puny 4.5 yards per pass attempt? Or a pass-efficiency rating of 84.5?
Actually, that last number speaks for itself only to the nerdiest of stat nerds. Put it this way: No other Big Ten team had a pass-efficiency rating below 100. NU's number now stands at a healthy 133.4.
But forget about all the stats. This is about being able to breathe, calm down and function. The Wildcats can do that now. It was on display in a 21-20 comeback victory last Saturday at Iowa. After NU fell behind 17-0 in the second quarter, Ramsey led back-to-back touchdown drives of 16 plays and 75 yards and 14 plays and 79 yards. Nothing amazing happened. The drives were perhaps a bit mundane but deeply satisfying, like a cross-country road trip when you're just striking out into the world.
What's next? Nebraska (+3½) at Northwestern (11 a.m., BTN, 720-AM) is another chance to pile into the family truckster and feel pretty good about having Ramsey at the wheel. The Huskers (0-1) haven't played since a 52-17 loss Oct. 24 at Ohio State, a game that was highly competitive throughout the first half.
''It's a big advantage for Nebraska [to have] a week off to rest up,'' Wildcats coach Pat Fitzgerald said. ''They obviously had a chance to watch us play. We were in a four-quarter war, a really physical game.''
More likely, it's to NU's benefit to have 60 more minutes of football under its belt. No doubt, the Wildcats have the better-looking defense heading into the game. And though the Huskers have beefed up their roster under coach Scott Frost and have dangerous quarterbacks in Adrian Martinez and Luke McCaffrey — both of whom should play — the Wildcats have an offense that looks like it's playing football again. It might not sound like such a big deal, but it is.
The last three games in this series were decided by a single score. Honk, honk! NU, 24-20.
OTHER WEEK 10 PICKS
No. 1 Clemson (-5½) at No. 4 Notre Dame (6:30 p.m., Ch. 5, 1000-AM): Boy, you have to feel for the Tigers (7-0), who will be without all-everything quarterback Trevor Lawrence. Did we mention Lawrence's backup, D.J. Uiagalelei, is 6-4, 250 pounds and one of the top recruits in program history?
''The most important thing is to make sure that he's not comfortable back there,'' Irish coach Brian Kelly said. ''You've got to get a great pass rush. You've got to get him to move his feet. You've got to make sure [he doesn't] get in a rhythm.''
You know what else might help? Not getting obliterated in every area of the game, like the Irish (6-0) were in a 30-3 loss against the Tigers in the 2018 playoff. This is still Clemson, people. The talent is obscene.
''We've won 22 consecutive games at home,'' Kelly said. ''We've won 12 in a row [overall]. I don't know, you guys decide.''
OK, fine. Tigers by a field goal.
Minnesota (-7) at Illinois (2:30 p.m., BTN, 590-AM): A couple of winless teams go at it. The Illini are still without starting quarterback Brandon Peters (tested positive for COVID-19), backup quarterback Isaiah Williams (contact-tracing protocols) and No. 3 man Matt Robinson (injury). Here's to you, Coran Taylor. Gophers, 38-17.
No. 23 Michigan (-3) at No. 13 Indiana (11 a.m., FS1): The heart says Hoosiers. Actually, the brain kind of does, too. But it isn't the non-rivals Wolverines coach Jim Harbaugh can't beat. And Indiana hasn't won in this series since — whoa — 1987. Michigan, 27-21.
No. 8 Florida (+3) vs. No. 5 Georgia (2:30 p.m., Ch. 2): Nothing beats the neutral-field Cocktail Party in Jacksonville, Florida, but there's no neutral about this: Gators quarterback Kyle Trask is better than Bulldogs quarterback Stetson Bennett. Chomp.
Stanford (+8½) at No. 12 Oregon (6:30 p.m., Ch. 7): Hey, it's Week 1 in the Pac-12. Are you ready for some rusty, sloppy football? Don't hold me to it, but Ducks in a close one.
My favorite favorite: Mississippi State (-17) vs. Vanderbilt (2:30 p.m., SEC Network). Some are calling this the worst Vandy team ever. They're wrong, of course, but you get the gist.
My favorite underdog: West Virginia (+6½) at No. 22 Texas (11 a.m., Ch. 7). The Mountaineers have beaten the Longhorns four times since joining the Big 12 in 2012, with road teams going 6-2 — and winning the last four — in the series.
Last week: 5-2 straight-up, 2-4-1 against the spread. Rough one.
Season to date: 11-7 straight-up, 7-10-1 against the spread.

Volt & State are the eminent Dutch production duo that have captivated dance music lovers across the globe with their enthralling and emphatic sound. Martijn Kouwen (Martin Volt) and Quirijn Smits (Quentin State) joined forces after they crossed paths online, drawn together by their mutual love for music and production.
Part of the revered Protocol Family, and in fact the first act Protocol have ever committed to on both a management and recordings level, this dynamic duo have received support from some of the biggest names in the game, and are showing absolutely no signs of slowing down!
In a short space of time, this double act have demonstrated their astounding talent through consecutive quality releases on some of the most prominent labels, including Spinnin', Protocol, Revealed and Armada. Smashing the Beatport Charts with their original tracks over the past two years, they have unleashed 'Fugitive', 'Conspiracy', 'Rush', and their monster of a track 'Black & White' with Merk & Kremont.

This book was not on my original "Once Upon a Time" list, and, until a few weeks ago, I had never heard of Clemence McLaren. What motivated me to read this book was the fact that after reading The Penelopiad I really felt like approaching this story again, but this time from Helen's point of view. Shortly thereafter, this book popped up on my Amazon recommendations, and it seemed to do exactly that, so I couldn't resist getting it.
Inside the Walls of Troy is a short children's book that retells some of the events of The Iliad from the perspective of two women: first the famous Helen, the reason why the war first begins, and then of Cassandra, the Trojan princess-seer who is doomed by Apollo to never be believed. Though intended for younger readers, this retelling does not strip the story of its tragedy or its violence. There is a sense of despair that deepens as the years pass and the heroes die one after another.
The way Helen is portrayed in this book is very, very different from the way she is portrayed in The Penelopiad. Of course, they are very different books, so perhaps I shouldn't be comparing them, but having read both recently, it's hard to resist. I think it is easier, perhaps, to portray Helen as selfish and vain like The Penelopiad does. It was nice to see her humanized for once, to have access to her thoughts and emotions and motivations. And in this book, Helen is not at all happy to have men die for her by the thousands.
As the title indicates, this book offers the Trojan perspective. I'm sure there are hundreds of books out there that do the same, but I'm used to always seeing things from the Greek side, so the change was nice.
When I was a sixth grader, I used to read The Odyssey with a flashlight after I'd been sent to bed. I was fascinated with the women characters, their endless weaving to make brief appearances in the men's hall – where all the action was – but they had almost nothing to say. I always wondered how they felt about what was going on. Did Helen of Troy like having the world's most beautiful face? Did Penelope blame Helen for launching the Great War? Why did Circe want to change men into pigs?
I suppose I began retelling these stories to answer my own questions, and, as a teacher and a writer, I'm still at it.
The story of the Trojan War, like many other myths, does raise a lot of questions. And because it is one of the greatest stories ever told, attempts of answering those questions never get old. You can turn the tale around like a prism, and always capture a new detail, a new perspective, a new way to enrich it. Like Fence said the other day, myth is flexible, not static, so additions to the story are, for me, not adulterations, but enrichments.
In the epilogue, Clemence McLaren says, I think we'll still be doing it – retelling the story of the Trojan War – when we've established space colonies on Mars. This made me smile. I agree, of course. These stories, along with Arthurian Legend, are stories I can't see myself ever tiring of seeing retold.
Also in the epilogue, the author writes about the sources used for this retelling, and about how the accounts of the destiny of the women inside the walls of Troy varies according to the source. She invites the reader to pick whichever pleases her or him best.
Clemence McLaren's writing style is both simple and very, very effective. She also has a book called Waiting for Odysseus, which roughly covers the same territory as The Penelopiad, except the perspective offered is not only Penelope's, but also Circe's, Athena's and Eurycleia's. I will definitely be reading it in the future.
Most of my knowledge about this tale omes from movies. I think reading this book would be a great idea. I like the female angle idea.
Yes, I think this book is a good starting point. I recently discovered (or rather, re-discovered, because I knew but had forgotten) that Marion Zimmer Bradley has a book, "The Firebrand", that does the same as this one, but with much more detail (600+ pages as opposed to the less than 200 this one has). I really want to read it one of these days.
And of course, I hope to one day gather the courage to read "The Iliad" itself.
Hi. Thanks for the visit. I read this book many years because I have always been interested in Greek Myth and stories. I always found this to be a really good and tragic adaptation especially considering its YA. McLaren has a sequel to this, also focusing on the women of the Odyssey, including Penelope. I've read The Penelopiad which is certainly a distinct piece of work.
Hi athena, thank you for your visit as well. Buying this book was a bit of a shot in the dark for me, but it really surpassed my expectations. I do plan on reading McLaren's other books, especially the one you mentioned.


Download 7 tips for coping with anxiety here.
Anxiety affects many people in different ways.
Statistics available from the Mental Health Foundation suggest that 1 in 4 British adults experience at least one diagnosable mental health problem in any one year, and 1 in 6 experiences this at any given time. In 2013, there were 8.2 million cases of anxiety in the UK (see www.mentalhealth.org.uk).
The most common problem is mixed anxiety and depression.
Obviously, some of these symptoms will be unrelated to anxiety, and it's possible to have others too. But the important thing to know is that if you are suffering anxiety, you are not alone. Many people have it and it can be quite normal in many situations (for example, if you are stuck in traffic and running late for the airport, it would be strange not to feel a bit anxious!).
There are also some very good treatments available, including psychological treatments such as CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy).
You don't have to suffer alone and help is available.

Thus, knowing how to deal with a team mate or opponent who gets injured is a vital skill, as you are likely to be confronted with it at some point. Yet, strangely, no Ultimate camp, coaching course or WFDF Guideline teaches one how best to approach a situation where someone is in extreme pain. It is likely assumed to be a Life Skill that one is automatically born with. But, from experience, it would seem, few people have.
In approaching this touchy topic, we surveyed a range of people in South Africa who have had Ultimate injuries and asked them what was helpful, and what was truly, dreadfully unhelpful when they were injured. Some answers surprised us, some were sad, and some were downright outrageous. One respondent recounted a scenario where an opposing team completely ignored their own injured player and treated him/her as a nuisance who was keeping the team from achieving its goals. Horrifying, unspirited stuff.
Consider taking an off-season. The Ultimate calendar is busy, and we often feel pressure to play in all the leagues and tournaments that come along. But rest periods are important for recovery – especially if you are carrying a niggle at the end of a season.
So, despite your best prevention efforts and intentions, a person goes down on the field, and doesn't get up.
A quick recap of the Rules might be useful here: technically only the person injured or her/his team mates can call an Injury stoppage. (9) In South African Ultimate, when an injury occurs, usually everyone on the field shouts 'Injury!' (typically, in a high-pitched, anxious voice) and freezes – especially, when the injury appears particularly painful, or if a loud snap or crack of something was heard.
All SAFDA-sanctioned tournaments should have qualified EMS ('Emergency Medical & Ambulance Services' or paramedics) on stand-by at the fields, and they should be called for assistance in assessing and managing the injured player. While waiting for help from EMS (or if the injury happened during a training session), we recommend that only people who are trained either in first aid or medicine, or who have been designated injury representatives, approach the injured person.
Try to remember that injuries with their associated unwanted (but well intentioned) attention could be a source of embarrassment for an injured player.
One player who provided input for this article, spoke about how the unique Ultimate tradition of applauding in encouragement when an injured player leaves the field, made her feel supported and valued.
During an injury with an open wound, Universal Precautions are a must – that is the assumption that all blood could contain pathogens (such as HIV, HBV and others) that can be infectious and direct contact should be avoided (see Rule 19.1.2 in footnote 9 above).
During the rehabilitation phase, wear injury protection or prevention gear such as knee or ankle braces etc.) and take it easy!
Many respondents spoke about the time after the injury as being particularly difficult. Not necessarily in terms of physical pain only, but feeling excluded from the team, its dynamics and of course, not being able to play Ultimate. Being ignored or neglected, or being asked about the injury in an instrumental, pressuring way only were sources of great unhappiness and hurt for some players. A few respondents felt judged when the pace of their recovery was slower than some team mates expected.
We recommend that team mates check-in with injured colleagues regularly, and remain encouraging and non-pressurising in their support. This is of even greater importance if you were the cause of the injury. Naturally, no-one injures a team mate or opponent on purpose in Ultimate (or so we fervently trust), and accidents happen all the time. Supporting the injured person by remaining in contact with her/him and checking on their progress until full recovery is not only empathetic, but also constitutes the respect and consideration that are associated with Ultimate Frisbee as a non-contact sport.
Unless you give up Ultimate today and take up Chess, chances are that you will be confronted with an Ultimate injury – either your own, or someone you share a field with. Being able to prepare yourself for this inevitability and knowing some basic Life Skills and how to act in a moment of crisis will help make you a better team mate, and opponent.
David I. Swedler, Jamie M. Nuwer, Anna Nazarov, Samantha C. Huo, and Lev Malevanchik "Incidence and Descriptive Epidemiology of Injuries to College Ultimate Players" Journal of Athletic Training 2015 Apr; 50(4): 419–425.
Some warm-up regimens which focus on lower limb strength and flexibility have been shown to be associated with a decreased risk of injury in football. For example, the "FIFA 11+ [warm-up programme] has demonstrated how a simple exercise program completed as part of warm-up can decrease the incidence of injuries in amateur football players. In general, considerable reductions in the number of injured players, ranging between 30% and 70%, have been observed among the teams that implemented the FIFA 11+. In addition, players with high compliance to the FIFA 11+ program had an estimated risk reduction of all injuries by 35%" – Noël C. Barengo, José Francisco Meneses-Echávez, Robinson Ramírez-Vélez, Daniel Dylan Cohen, Gustavo Tovar and Jorge Enrique Correa Bautista "The Impact of the FIFA 11+ Training Program on Injury Prevention in Football Players: A Systematic Review" Int J Environ Res Public Health. 2014 Nov; 11(11): 11986–12000.
WFDF Rules of Ultimate, 2017: 19. Stoppages 19.1. Injury Stoppage 19.1.1. An injury stoppage, "Injury", may be called by the injured player, or by any player on the injured player's team. 19.1.2. If any player has an open or bleeding wound, an injury stoppage must be called and that player must take an immediate injury substitution and must not rejoin the game until the wound is treated and sealed. 19.1.3. If the injury was not caused by an opponent, the player must choose either to be substituted, or to charge their own team with a Time-Out. 19.1.4. If the injury was caused by an opponent, the player may choose to stay or to be substituted. 19.1.5. If the injured player had caught the disc, and the player has dropped the disc due to the injury, that player retains possession of the disc. 19.1.6. The injury stoppage is considered to have been called at the time of the injury, unless the injured player chooses to continue play before the stoppage is called. 19.1.7. If the disc was in the air when the injury stoppage was called, play continues until either the pass is caught, or the disc hits the ground. If the injury is not the result of a foul, the completion or turnover stands, and play restarts there after the stoppage.

Landscape design isn't only for residential clients. Let your business show how well it thrives with a well tended common area.
Chuck and his crews have done a great job for us both at our office and our home. Chuck is a good designer, and he has experts in hardscape, pest control and fertilizing, as well as irrigation. It's a good team effort, and they are always responsive when any issues arise. We are very comfortable using Alpha Zeta for our landscaping – just one less thing to worry about in my retirement!!!
Very impressed, clean professional job. I had forgotten to take an orchid from tree they were taking down, when I got home they had relocated it to one of my other trees. Most other people wouldn't have noticed it. Highly recommend!
I was pretty bummed they wouldn't do my yard here in Houston.
Chuck Smith very professional and his crew did an excellent job cutting back a very large mango tree and trimmed 6 very tall palm trees. Work scheduled quickly. I highly recommend him for all your landscaping needs.
Very hard working and professional crew with a good result!
We had pavers put out side of our patio, bushes replaced and new mulch put down. Everything turned out perfect! Very knowledgeable and quick turn around. We have very happy with the work done. Highly recommended!!
Chuck and his team are always timely, professional, and provide excellent service. I have used Alpha Zeta for lawn maintenance, landscaping, irrigation systems, and artificial turf. The best landscape contractor in town. Period!

The Third Crusade (1187 to 1192)
Yona Williams April 1, 2010
In the Near East, the Third Crusade (also known as the Kings' Crusade) unfolded in Anatolia, Levant, and Palestine. The goal of European leaders was to reconquer the Holy Land , taking it back from Saladin. In this article, you will learn of important events, notable commanders, and the outcome of the Third Crusade.
After the Second Crusade ended in failure, the Zengid dynasty gained control of a unified Syria and waged conflict against the Fatimid rulers of Egypt. This created a unification of Egyptian and Syrian forces under the command of Saladin, who was bent on reducing the Christian states. A passionate religious Henry II of England and Philip II of France stopped fighting with one another so that they could lead a new Crusade together. With the leadership of the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa, a massive army formed and traveled across Anatolia.
Unfortunately, the Emperor drowned before he reached the Holy Land. Because of this, many discouraged troops returned home.
Commander Spotlight: Richard I of England
Richard I served as King of England from 1189 until his death in 1199. In his lifetime, he ruled many different places, as Duke of Normandy, Duke of Gascony, Count of Maine, and Lord of Ireland , just to name a few titles. This is the man who is called Richard the Lionheart in history books because he had earned a reputation as a strong military leader and warrior.
When Richard was 16, he was already commanding his own army. During the Third Crusade, he became an important Christian commander, leading a successful campaign after the departure of Philip Augustus. Against Saladin, he won many victories.
Highlights of the Third Crusade
· The Third Crusade involved 8,000 English men, 2,000 French men, and 15,000 German men.
· When Saladin had successfully taken Acre and Jerusalem, Pope Urban II was said to have collapsed and died on the spot after hearing the news. However, when the Pope died, he could not have learned of the fall of Jerusalem. At that time, the only events he knew of was the battle of Hattin and the fall of Acre.
· Pope Gregory VIII replaced Pope Urban II. He believed that the capture of Jerusalem was punishment for the sins of Christians across Europe. It was he that called for a new crusade to the Holy Land.
· At the Battle of Arsuf, Richard marched to the city of Jaffa to launch an attack on Jerusalem. Saladin attempted to lure Richard's forces so that they could easily be killed, but Richard stayed in his formation until the Hospitallers rushed to cease the right flank of Saladin's army. The Templars took the left flank and together, Richard was victorious in the battle.
The Third Crusade resulted in the Treaty of Ramla, where Saracens allowed unarmed Christian pilgrimages to Holy Land. However, Jerusalem would remain under Saracen control. Territorial changes that took place involved Cyprus and parts of the Palestinian coast, which became annexed under Crusader control.

Post (paul Kelly Album)
Modesto (disambiguation)
Quaint little town :)
Look where I am! I took a little drive over to the town that stands as the setting of the major bank heist in the Academy Awards best picture nominated movie "Hell or High Water." It's so cool to live this close to something so majorly popular at the moment, even though it wasn't actually filmed here. Either way, it was a fun excuse to get out of the house.
This is the town that CW Post set up. Ok, now what is interesting is that he didn't want local farmers to be in debt, but now no one truly owns anything, because the government, probably not as good as a Caesar can take it at any time over property taxes. This keeps people off balance at all times, which is the point of an overtaxing government. Post is a town with a downtown area that also is trying to survive. But there is little wifi in the town available to the public, which will not encourage people to stop there. Also many empty buildings.

Post is a city in and the county seat of Garza County, Texas, United States. The population was 5,376 at the 2010 census.
Post is located on the edge of the caprock escarpment of the Llano Estacado, the southeastern edge of the Great Plains. It is at the crossroads of U.S. Routes 84 and 380.
The land belonged to John Bunyan Slaughter, as it was on his U Lazy S Ranch. In 1906, Slaughter sold it to Charles William (C. W.) Post, the breakfast cereal manufacturer, who founded "Post City" as a utopian colonizing venture in 1907. Post devised the community as a model town. He purchased 200,000 acres (810 km2) of ranchland and established the Double U Company to manage the town's construction. The company built trim houses and numerous structures, which included the Algerita Hotel, a gin, and a textile plant. They planted trees along every street and prohibited alcoholic beverages and brothels. The Double U Company rented and sold farms and houses to settlers. A post office began in a tent during the year of Post City's founding, being established (with the name Post) July 18, 1907, with Frank L. Curtis as first postmaster. Two years later, the town had a school, a bank, and a newspaper, the Post City Post, the same name as the daily in St. Louis, Missouri. The Garza County paper today is called the Post Dispatch. The railroad reached the town in 1910. The town changed its name to "Post" when it incorporated in 1914, the year of C. W. Post's death. By then, Post had a population of 1000, 10 retail businesses, a dentist, a physician, a sanitarium, and Baptist, Methodist, and Presbyterian churches.

Post is the first solo album by Australian singer-songwriter rock musician, Paul Kelly. Kelly had moved to Sydney by January 1985, after leaving his Melbourne-based Paul Kelly Band and the breakup of his marriage to Hilary Brown.
The album was produced by Clive Shakespeare (Sherbet guitarist) and Kelly, and was released in May 1985 by the independent White Records label, leased to Mushroom Records. The album failed to chart in Australia, with only one single, "From St Kilda to Kings Cross", released in April which also failed to chart. The name of the album, Post relates to both being 'after' significant changes in Kelly's life and to the sense of a 'signpost' to future directions. Kelly dedicated the album to Paul Hewson, keyboardist and songwriter for New Zealand/Australian band Dragon who had died of a heroin overdose in January. Kelly has described Post as a concept album dealing with addictions - not necessarily heroin addiction - but various forms, he has also denied that the songs were autobiographical but that he wrote about the world around him.

Ex-NEXIM CEO: 'Nigerian Economic Outlook Buoyant' - Business Journal
Ex-NEXIM CEO: 'Nigerian Economic Outlook Buoyant'
Even as the exchange rate policy of the CBN continues to generate a healthy debate, the anti-devaluation argument is consistent with maintaining financial and price stability.
The downturn of oil prices has created immediate but temporary fiscal and monetary challenges in Nigeria. Dollar oil revenue to the government has shrunk considerably, reflecting over 70 per cent decline in oil prices from the heights they attained in June 2014.
Therefore, expansion of the federal fiscal deficit has become necessary in order for the government to continue to meet its obligations and deliver service to the populace. In the states, where the fiscal space is more constricted, paying public sector wages has become more challenging.
On the monetary side, there has been downward pressure on the foreign reserves. This has limited the wherewithal of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to continue to defend the naira value across the foreign exchange markets. The official market is sheltered from exchange rate volatility.
But we have seen the naira reach all-time lows against the dollar in the parallel market, causing public anxiety and threatening the way working class Nigerians love to live.
While this is on, it is so easy to become downbeat in one's outlook for the Nigerian market. Extreme opinions have called into question any sense of progress the country has made with economic management, especially since the return of democratic governance in 1999. They see the threats of higher public debt, inflation, unemployment and slower economic growth. But these issues are most likely to be short-term.
The current sharp decline in oil prices constitutes a speed bump. Yes, it slowed the pace of economic growth to 3.3 per cent last year, from 7 per cent average GDP growth rate of the last ten years. But, some positive developments are already identifiable with this foreign exchange crunch.
To summarise the totality of the auspicious developments, Nigeria has entered a phase of economic transition. This transition has been imperative for long. To some extent, signs that it is already afoot are undeniable.
But the economic conditions of today ensures that this transition must gather pace. This transition would invariably lead the country to a period of sustained, endogenous high economic growth.
There are three factors that underpin my buoyant outlook on Nigeria. One involves cumulative improvement in governance.
The second is Nigeria's commitment to macroeconomic stability. And the third is the irrepressible determination of Nigerians to do well for themselves. This third factor ensures the resilience of the citizens and that of the country. It is the critical element that has continued to drive the progress the country has been making.
Cumulative Governance Improvement
The Administration of President Muhammadu Buhari will deliver further improvement in public governance and fiscal management in Nigeria.
The President will continue to build on the progress that has been made since the country returned to democracy in 1999. It is not the better judgment to focus on the challenges of governance and overlook the evidence of the progress that has been made.
Nigeria is committed to democratic governance. In 2007, we appeared surprised when the country made the first-ever democratic transition of government.
The late Umaru Musa Yar'Adua succeeded President Olusegun Obasanjo as elected president. Then in 2009, without much pomp and pageantry, we marked the first straight ten years of democratic governance in Nigeria.
The 2015 presidential election just proved to be another landmark for the country: for the first time in our history, an opposition party candidate won against the incumbent, and the transition of power was smooth.
Ahead of the election, Moody's affirmed a stable outlook for Nigeria. In an interview with one of the country's top economic journals, Financial Nigeria, later in 2015, the head of sovereign analysis for the rating agency, Aurelien Mali, said the track-record of conclusive elections in Nigeria was factored in the positive outlook.
Institutions of democratic governance are enjoying longevity. It is a rarity for the legislature, whose existence was usually terminated by the incessant military interregna of the 1980s and the 1990s. Even the tenure certainty for the President nowadays is remarkable in view of our history.
While each administration since 1999 has grappled with putting in place more transparent and accountable frameworks for public and market governance, the fact that the institutional drivers of the process are intact is a mark of progress on its own.
To crown it all, Nigerians are clamouring for further progress. We want the pace of progress to increase. We want responsible and responsive governance. We are even more assured than we were 17 years ago that it is the role of the electorate that is pivotal in constituting government. This awareness is healthy for the Nigerian populace and those who constitute government or aspire to political leadership.
Stable Macro-economic Environment
There is a positive relationship between an environment of political stability underpinned by constitutionality and positive market performance. The Nigerian democracy has even prioritised the development of the Nigerian market.
One of the ways successive governments have demonstrated this is by pursuing macroeconomic stability. Unprecedented levels of domestic and foreign investments have followed, beginning with the mobile telephone industry in 2001.
The CBN has pursued single digit inflation and maintained it in the better part of the last five years. Price stability has been predicated on market reforms and financial market stability.
When the 2008 – 2009 Global Financial Crisis arrived on our shores, the reinvigoration of the banking system through the recapitalisation and consolidation of the banks three years earlier helped us to weather the storm.
A strong response to the crisis through CBN liquidity intervention, introduction of macro-prudential regulation and purchases of impaired assets helped to strengthen the banks. As the country faces the headwind of low oil prices now, Nigerian banks are expected to remain resilient, even if they have to make operational adjustments.
President Muhammadu Buhari has shown good leadership with his position which indicates that macroeconomic stability is not a political party agenda in Nigeria; it is a country agenda that has been upheld by successive administrations since 1999.
The institutional architecture for supporting market stability has continued to strengthen, and that is without overlooking the higher standards that are yet to be attained. Public debt management in Nigeria has been modernised.
A legal framework through the Fiscal Responsibility Act is in place. It places a 3% limit on fiscal deficit as a ratio of the GDP.
Since the last two fiscal years of the last administration, a policy to channel public borrowing to infrastructure projects came into place. This policy is affirmed in the fiscal borrowing plan of the present administration, as seen in the 2016 budget.
While the borrowing plan in the budget has inflamed passions, it appears that the provision of a N360 billion Sinking Fund to liquidate matured debt has eluded the debate.
Nevertheless, Nigeria has a solid reputation of servicing its debt obligation to both domestic and international financiers.
The deals by which Nigeria exited the Paris Club and London Club debts in 2005 and 2006, respectively, will remain a point of reference in the country's debt repayment behaviour. Since those important deals, the fiscal authorities have never taken eyes off the sustainability gauge of Nigeria's public debt.
Primed for Success
Nigerians are generally determined to be successful. If it takes education, we would go for it. If it takes industry, we would become entrepreneurs and start businesses even under the most challenging environment. We are irrepressible in adverse conditions. As the current foreign exchange crisis begins to affect business as usual, we will reinvent ourselves.
Nobody, including the average Nigerian, wants a hard life in place of easy life. Countries that have developed have had to do so in response to challenges that posed a threat to their easy life. It might be geopolitical threat, demographic challenges or economic stress.
In Nigeria today, the formidable threat is the intertwined high dependency on oil for foreign exchange, import dependency and inadequate domestic production.
What we have to do is diversify the economy, promote non-oil exports and boost domestic production. In the meantime, we need to use policy instruments to curb unnecessary imports.
The policy leaning is there, and Nigerians will respond; not only for survival but to achieve and maintain the good life.
This is what defines us as a people of achievement. This is why the outlook of the country is especially buoyant, medium- to long-term.
By Roberts U. Orya, Former Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, Nigerian Export – Import Bank [NEXIM].

Since the raid, Pakistan has restricted visas for American officials and expelled military trainers. The U.S. has cut off $800 million, about one-third of its aid to Pakistan's military. The U.S. has long complained of ties between Pakistan's military and insurgent groups that have attacked American-led forces in neighboring Afghanistan.
But Musharraf said that if Pakistani intelligence had colluded with bin Laden, it also would have known that the CIA was operating a safe house nearby and whisked the al Qaida leader away. He described bin Laden's high-walled compound in the town of Abbottabad as a normal dwelling that wouldn't have raised suspicion.
He also claimed that Abbottabad — which is home to a major military college that's been described as Pakistan's West Point, as well as other military installations — wasn't a garrison town but a touristy resort area with many colleges.
The recent raid was a "violation of sovereignty," Musharraf said, echoing a widespread Pakistani complaint. He added that Pakistani antipathy toward the U.S. also stems from the American campaign of drone strikes on militant targets, which reportedly have caused civilian casualties, as well as lingering bitterness over U.S. sanctions for developing nuclear weapons in the 1990s.
The way forward for Pakistan, Musharraf said, is to show that it isn't complicit with terrorists and to deal with domestic extremism. It also needs to establish an honest, stable government in the 2013 elections, said the former leader, who's expected to mount a run for president.
Musharraf, who seized power in a military coup in 1999 and resigned in 2008, was a microcosm of the frustration and contradictions that have embodied American policy toward Pakistan.
Mark Quarterman, a senior adviser at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a nonpartisan Washington research center, said that many wanted to see Musharraf as a modern, progressive leader: He wasn't an extremist, his wife and daughter didn't wear veils and the family even had a dog, an animal many Muslims view as impure. Ultimately, however, Musharraf's rule was a military dictatorship and, according to many experts, he didn't do enough to rein in Taliban militants who were operating in remote corners of Pakistan.
Drone strikes show Pakistan still cooperating with U.S.


Bamboo flooring, widely in use from ancient times, is now making a dramatic comeback around the world. Bamboo flooring is perfect for living room in a house. Bamboo flooring living room can make your living room more natural. Bamboo flooring living room is also durable, versatile and easy to install.

Performed by ISKCON Pune, on 27/1/2009.
"24th March 1984" - The date which marked the beginning of a historical era, not only for ISKCON, but for the world at large.
This drama unfolds the ghastly event which took place at ISKCON Mayapur on 24th March 1984 - the action, followed by devotion and finally divine intervention.
It is the journey of the devotee from fear to shelter and of the Lord from whom even fear personified fears.


The IIM Ahmedabad faculty's wisdom is now available in good-to-read paperbacks.
Any decent bookstore in India today has stacks of management books, either evergreen bestsellers by the likes of Michael Porter and the late Peter Drucker, or by unknown authors culling words of wisdom into bullets of fast food. In between, there are books by sundry senior managers or B-school professors who may or may not have written a gem. The first category is the safest, and these books are good to display on your shelf at home or office. The fast food is at best good for a short flight. As for the middle range, you may have plonked down a thousand bucks for wisdom that has no Indian context.
Now, Random House India has come up with the idea of getting professors of the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad, to write a series of easy-to-read books aimed at the general reader and junior and middle managers who may not have a B-school diploma. To be released in batches of four titles a year, the book jackets have a uniform design and are branded with the IIM-A logo and the catchline "Strategies for Success". So, if you read one and like it, you are likely to pick up the next title blind, rather like picking up books in a 'Teach Yourself ' series.
Chiki Sarkar, editor in chief of Random House India, says the series will mark the golden jubilee of IIM-A, apart from being the first such venture into publishing by any IIM. The first four titles are: How to be a Better Manager, by Prof T.V. Rao; The Persuasive Manager, by Prof M. Monippally; Strategies for Growth, by Prof A. Ghosh, and Business and Intellectual Property, by Prof A. Agarwal.
Almost every educated Indian is aware of the IIMs, and the IIM-A usually figures at the top of all B-school rankings. The faculty of the IIMs, however, remain unknown to all but those who were lucky enough to study under them. For the general reader, then, this series promises to be a good read. As for the content, the most important thing for readers is the extensive use of Indian case studies and anecdotes. This alone should make the books invaluable for professional managers, entrepreneurs without an MBA, and even the general reader. And the books are amazingly affordable.
But considering the talent residing in the IIM chain, why not a series for professionals, books that can become the standard reference for Indian MBA students? IIM-A could even think of creating an imprint like the Harvard Business Review Press of Harvard Business School. After all, there are plenty of India case studies but few people have narrated them with professional authority. And it is time we got a hold on our intellectual property.
The 2009 Canadian edition was called "How Pirates, Paupers and Oligarchs are reshaping business". The new caption sounds dull, but the book is a great read.

Gmail will start blocking JavaScript attachments in February
Google is blocking .js file attachments for security reasons.
Mariella Moon, @mariella_moon
If you want to email a .js file to somebody for any reason, you only have a few more days to do so through Gmail. The service will start blocking JavaScript file attachments starting on February 13th, adding it to its list of restricted file types, which includes .exe, .msc and .bat. If you try to attach a .js file on or after the 13th, you'll get a notification that says it's blocked "because its content presents a potential security issue."
JavaScript files aren't inherently bad, but people could attach them to emails so that when you click on one, it acts as a downloader for a ransomware or other types of malware. Gmail can detect .js files even if they're sent as a .zip, a .tgz, a .gz or a .bz2. In case you really have to send one to a friend or a co-worker, the big G recommends uploading it to Google Drive instead.

Qualified mea culpa
ALLOW ME to stress that although we look at the clergy with critical eyes, we have all the respect for the Catholic Church and for all religions and beliefs. We maintain that as public personalities, bishops and priests must not be spared from our collective expressions of rikna and nakem. We love the church, and that same love causes us pain when she is betrayed, and with neither shame nor remorse, by the very people she was entrusted to.
I will be the first person to ban comments that employ Argumentum ad Hominem (Attack against the person). I would not even allow name calling here. Happily, so far, I think no one has gone overboard. We are very level-headed in our discussions, although I understand that some readers may be very close to the church, and so their emotions may get into the way.
We look forward to the day when we can really look up to our bishops and priests for moral guidance, in word and in deed. That end cannot be achieved if we decide to be silent when we can choose to speak. That we are having these arguments already points to these shepherds' failure to unite their flock. Their actions cause confusion and division, and poor we should not be faulted for airing out our frustrations.
And yet all the things I write I write not out of malice nor ignorance. My sources are reliable. My analysis comes not from thin air but from careful discernment and reflection. Truth to tell, I come from a family deeply immersed in the Catholic faith.
Just the same, my apologies for the hurt.

Church of the Pool on the take?
BUT OF COURSE.
Archbishop Oscar Cruz, an indefatigable anti-jueteng crusader, revealed recently that eight to twelve Catholic dioceses are benefitting from illegal gambling operations. One wonders if the Diocese of Laoag is among them.
This sense of wonder is not without basis. A retired archbishop, the longest-serving leader of this lone diocese of Ilocos Norte, openly admits that his beautiful house was built for him by a known jueteng lord. My sources also attest that some structures in the diocese were either built or renovated with help from operators of the popular numbers game.
Note, dear karikna, that I am not against jueteng per se. As a sociologist, I have previously written that jueteng exists not much because government officials and the police allow it, but more because the people need it. Where the government and church fail, jueteng fills gaps and satisfies needs. It provides jobs, it gives people hope. "False hope!," some people may point out, but false hope, dear karikna, is always better than no hope at all.
You see, jueteng to me is not among what I would consider as major, major social problems. What disturbs me is the patent hypocrisy by which the church deals with it.
"Receiving money from and betting on jueteng is a grave sin," says Sergio Utleg, Laoag bishop, citing moral grounds.
A more candid stand, however, was made no less by the late Jaime Cardinal Sin, the most influential Filipino prelate ever. "If Satan appears to me and gives me money, I will accept the money and spend it all for the poor. It is not the practice of the Church to ask donors where their donations come from. Our duty is to make sure all donations go to the poor," he posited.
At least, Sin had the interests of the poor in mind. Under Utleg, the first structure to be constructed was not a church and neither was it a facility for our impoverished brethren. It was, of all things, a capricious swimming pool by the bishop's palace. Continue reading "Church of the Pool on the take?"

I am Makoy
TIME HAS COME, dear karikna, to make Ferdinand Marcos more relevant to our times. I feel that our people are ready to give the man a second look, to unravel his life with new eyes, to look past the thickly waxed cadaver displayed for nearly two decades now in a Mausoleum in his hometown Batac.
A survey conducted by Pulse Asia earlier this year reveals that Marcos is regarded by our people as one of the most loved Filipinos of all time. It came as a surprise because the former president and his family are constantly vilified, demonized, even ridiculed in media. This result is validated by the political comeback of his widow Imelda, and children Bongbong and Imee.
It was not difficult to undo my initial bias against Marcos after realizing that he was beyond doubt the greatest social architect this country has nurtured. I believe that his vision of "Ang Bagong Lipunan" was sincere, courageous, revolutionary. He knew just exactly what he wanted for our country and he had a blueprint on how things can get done. From infrastructure to participatory democracy to Cultural Revolution to educational reforms and values reorientation, Marcos did more than his fair share.
True, he was a dictator who suspended some of our freedoms, and it's ok with me. I can trade in some of my freedoms for food security, for jobs, and for real and lasting progress. Marcos was brave and brilliant, sinister and cunning. People question his motives. One thing is sure: he loved us Ilocanos, and he was proud of our people. That is why most of his trusted men were from the North. I love Marcos, and love needs no explanations. Love, in fact, defies reason. As French philosopher Blaise Pascal puts it, "The heart has reasons that reason cannot know." Uncle Gerry, my uncle, was an activist during the martial law era, but he ended up being a Marcos loyalist… and up to this day.
Madame Imelda posits that Marcos became a great Filipino because he was, first and foremost, an Ilocano. An Ilocano is naturally resilient, resourceful, industrious, brilliant, and God-fearing. She posits that Marcos became a good Filipino by being a G.I., genuine Ilocano.
I totally agree, and it is in this context that I broached the idea of an "I am Makoy" campaign, to Madame Imelda no less, during a seven-hour brainstorming session held at MMSU last month. Now that we have established the greatness of The Apo, time has come to develop more Marcoses, in ourselves, especially those in the younger generations. Marcos must be demystified, reinvented, popularized so we can draw him closer to our children.
Yes, this idea is not exactly original as it was done, too, for Ninoy Aquino in the "I am Ninoy" campaign, but the nobility of the Filipino soul, dear karikna, is no monopoly of anyone. The seed of greatness is in human nature, and no one can rightfully claim exclusive rights to it in the same manner that Noynoy Aquino could not claim patent to a shining, shimmering, widening forehead, which I also have.

Q: How to verify, JavaFX 2.0 uses directx 9 on a XP box? I have a Windows XP installation on a Computer with a Intel 945 Chipset, which I want to run a  JavaFX 2.0 App on. It has DirectX 9.29 installed, but it does not seem to utilize it, as the processor load is very high (70-100% for some hundret points refreshed 2-4 times a second. ok it's a weak device, but that's to high...)
Is there a way to verify Prism utilizes the directx rendering?
update: I have installed the latest drivers, i have moved to windows 7 embedded which uses DirectX 11. When I start dxdiag.exe it tells me DirectX (DirectDraw, Direct3D, AGP Texture Acceleration) is enabled. But JavaFX 2.0 is horrible slow and only utilizes the CPU and not the GPU.

A: There is no way to support Intel 945 Chipsets in JavaFX 2.0 Hardware Accelerated. The Problem is it needs Pixel Shader 3.0 to utilize hardware acceleration, but the Chipset only supports PS 2.0..
You can find more details on wy it not uses hardware acceleration with following commands:
set NWT_TRACE_LEVEL=4
java -Dprism.verbose=true

A: Check JavaFX 2.0 graphics card requirements here: http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/system_requirements/jfxpub-system_requirements.htm
