Hello traders. Welcome to the news trading course and the fourth module, "What Not To Do." In this lesson, we're going to talk about chasing the news, and chasing the news is a very basic concept but there's a lot of rookie traders out there that do make this mistake and end up wiping out a big percentage of their account.
Now, chasing the news is basically when traders don't have a specific plan or system to trade and use, and they try to chase the move. This means that these traders are actually, well, they are obviously looking at the Economic Calendar and they are waiting for their release but they don't understand what the release is about. They only know that news bring a lot of volume into the market and they can make a quick profit, or a big profit very quickly.
Now, not having a plan is very, well, it's a very uncomfortable way of trading and it's actually a losing proposition because what these traders do is that they wait for the initial move and then when the initial move happens, they jump in. But they jump in blindly without stops and they don't know what they're doing because they don't even have targets, they are chasing the move, a move that already started.
Now, we are never going to do that, we already know, which news we are going to trade with which plans, but I'm going to show you what happens if you try to chase the news. Real news traders never do this because doing this is very close to burning money and this is actually true. So I'm going to show you an example. This is price action before the news release, okay? You understand that the range, well this might be, I thought it'd be strange, which is not very thin, but we are still in a range and we are expecting high volatility when the news comes. When the news comes, you can see that price moves all the way up here in a very strong move. The first candles are not strong enough or not as strong as the second candles, maybe because the news was released while these . . . Even though that the news was released while these down-trending was being tested, the breakout managed to bring a lot of buyers that picked to this point.
Now, people that chase the news are going to say, "Jesus, look at this move? This is a very strong move, so let's jump in right here, and let's wait for a continuation of this move." Because what they don't understand is that the initial buyers that broke with this heights and this trendline, are going to start taking profit right here, and maybe there's a real level of resistance here that is going to make price drop like in this case, okay?
Now this, and another thing that you need to understand is that, when these traders that are chasing the move are buying, they are buying from the sellers that bought all the way down here. So while the, I'm sorry, they are buying from the sellers that bought all the way down here. They bought here, they sold here, so they are making money. While these buyers are making money, these guys are actually just buying them out of their trade, okay? And what happens when price comes all the way down here, they don't know that price might reverse and come to test these heights or these levels of resistance. They don't have a plan. They just see the price movement and they're going to manually buy out of their position so they're going to sell their short position, and here buyers are going to buy that long position and price is going to continue to the upside. So they don't have a plan. They just blindly chase the trade and remember that, in this course, I taught you to always plan your trade and trade your plan according to the news that you are watching, so you are never going to chase the news, and if you just sat down in front of your computer and there's a big event happening at the moment, just don't trade it because you need to be prepared to take the trade and you need to know what you're going to do ones volume comes into the market.

Please make sure you and your bridal party understand and adhere to the etiquette expected in the Basilica. It is also a good idea to include the first two paragraphs to the left in your wedding invitation or program for the understanding of all of your guests.
Worship in the Basilica is expressed through the Mass, Eucharistic Adoration throughout the day, as well as private meditation, devotions, and personal prayer. For this reason, parishioners and visitors alike are at worship at any given time throughout the day. Most importantly, the perpetual Presence of the Lord Jesus in His Eucharistic form (signified by the red candle near the Altar) deserves utmost reverence. The roped off area around the Altar is called the Sanctuary and is not to be entered except by those designated for public Worship, such as priests, altar servers, Eucharistic ministers, lectors.
The acoustical properties of the dome cause even the smallest sound to be amplified. Please show respect for Worship in the Basilica by keeping a reverential silence or quiet. Casual conversation and social exchanges are more properly done in the main vestibule and exterior areas of the Basilica.
While it is necessary for rehearsal directors, tour guides, photographers, etc., to conduct certain activities in the Basilica, they are expected to encourage their participants (including children) to show respect for Worship in the Basilica by maintaining the reverential silence or quiet necessary.
In addition, once the ceremony and photography session has concluded within the Basilica, the wedding party and guests may move into the courtyard for further photography or gathering prior to leaving the premises. However, being a prayerful place, it is expected that the volume of the group will be minimal as sound carries even from the outside into the Basilica and may disturb those inside.
Thank you for respecting the Sacred Space of the Basilica.

India: Surrogate's death leads to concern over exploitation
Medical practitioners in India are demanding stricter surrogacy laws
Published: October 02, 2019 14:03 Evangeline Elsa, Social Media Editor

Poverty drove her to becoming a surrogate. But, it ended up proving to be too expensive a decision. The middle-aged Indian woman paid with her life.
At 42, the Delhi resident had serious health issues, but she hid them from the agency that had hired her, so they would let her continue. The woman died following pregnancy-related complications last week at AIIMS in Delhi. She was 17 weeks pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl. An investigation revealed her history of illnesses, included tuberculosis, hydrocephalus (build-up of fluid in the brain) and depression.
This case is reflective of the lack of regulation of commercial surrogacy in the country [India] and its impact on the lives of poor women staking their lives for money.
- Dr Sudhir Gupta, professor and head, forensic sciences, AIIMS
Ever since the incident, scores of medical practitioners in India are demanding stricter surrogacy laws.
"This case is reflective of the lack of regulation of commercial surrogacy in the country and its impact on the lives of poor women staking their lives for money," according to Dr Sudhir Gupta, professor and head, forensic sciences, AIIMS, reported the Times of India.
Commercial surrogacy is illegal in India
India is already on its way to imposing a blanket ban on and criminalising commercial surrogacy. This is the first surrogacy related case that has come to light after India's recent Surrogacy (Regulation) Bill. It was reintroduced and passed in August 2019 in the Lok Sabha, the lower house of the Indian parliament and, has put in place strict conditions on what constitutes legal surrogacy in India.
The Surrogacy (Regulation) Bill regulates altruistic surrogacy and prohibits commercial surrogacy.
What is commercial surrogacy?
Any surrogacy process where a woman is compensated beyond her surrogacy, insurance and pregnancy-related expenses. She is paid for carrying the child. In India, the surrogacy market was thriving. Surrogate mothers in India could reportedly earn anything between Rs400,000 to Rs1.2 million (Dh 20,601 - Dh61,803) per birth, depending on the location and the clinic. But the new bill aimed to ensure that this booming industry comes to an end.
What is altruistic surrogacy?
Picture used for illustrative purposes only Image Credit: Stock Image
The 2019 bill allowed for this type of surrogacy, which involves an arrangement where the monetary reward only involves medical expenses and insurance coverage for the surrogate mother.
It defines surrogacy as a practice where a woman gives birth to a child for an eligible couple and agrees to hand over the child to them after the birth.
Current surrogacy laws in India
Commercial surrogacy was legalised in 2002, though it was later banned in 2018 with a law that made commercial surrogacy illegal. In 2015, India had already barred foreign nationals from using the country's surrogacy services.
After December 2018, India only allowed altruistic surrogacy for needy, infertile Indian couples.
The law:
Required intended parents to be married for five years and have a doctor's certificate of their infertility.
Restricted women to being surrogates only once, and only if they are a close relative of the intended parents, are married and have a biological child.
Banned single parents, homosexuals and live-in couples from surrogacy.
The 2019 bill however, has put in place strict conditions on what constitutes legal surrogacy in India.
The Surrogacy (Regulation) Bill regulates altruistic surrogacy.
As per the bill, a couple intending to commission a surrogacy arrangement must be a close relative of the surrogate mother. In addition, the couple have to be Indian citizens who have been married for at least five years and are in the age group of 23-50 years (female partner) and 26-55 years (male partner), and secure a medical certificate stating that either one or both partners are infertile. The couple also should not have any surviving child (whether biological, adopted or surrogate), except if the surviving child is mentally or physically challenged or suffers from a fatal illness, among other provisions.
The surrogate mother, apart from proving that she is a close relative of the couple intending the surrogacy, has to be married with a child of her own, in the age bracket of 25 to 35 years old, and should not have been a surrogate mother before.
- The Surrogacy (Regulation) Bill
The surrogate mother, apart from proving that she is a close relative of the couple intending the surrogacy, has to be married with a child of her own, in the age bracket of 25 to 35 years old, and should not have been a surrogate mother before. The Bill states that any child born out of a surrogacy procedure shall be the biological child of the intending couple and will be entitled to all rights and privileges that are available to a natural child.
The bill would require to be passed by the Rajya Sabha, upper house of the Indian parliament and presidential assent before it becomes an act and thereby a law.
Why did India ban surrogacy?
While the commercial surrogacy in India became a method for many poor women to make money, it was also creating a bigger problem behind the scenes.
While moving the Bill in Lok Sabha, Union health minister Harsh Vardhan had said that it was "the need of the hour". "A rough estimate shows that there are 2,000-3,000 surrogacy clinics running illegally in the country, and a few thousand foreigner couples resort to surrogacy in India. The whole issue is thoroughly unregulated," Vardhan had said
A rough estimate shows that there are 2,000-3,000 surrogacy clinics running illegally in the country [India], and a few thousand foreigner couples resort to surrogacy in India. The whole issue is thoroughly unregulated.
- Indian - Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan
After India legalised commercial surrogacy in 2002, thousands of fertility clinics began to open across the country. In a short span of time, it became a "surrogacy tourism" destination for people worldwide who were unable to acquire such services in their home country because of legality or cost.
Like all international surrogacies in lesser-developed countries, the protections available for intended parents and surrogates were very few, and led to harmful results. When Indian surrogacy first became a booming industry, there were no regulations in place, and unsafe and unethical practices developed in response.
The women who chose to become surrogates in India during this time were subjected to unethical treatment, poor living conditions and exploitation. To keep up with demand from international intended parents, Indian surrogacy agencies effectively ran "baby factories", where Indian women were forced to live until they gave birth to the intended parents' babies, with usually no assistance for the family they had left behind while pregnant.

In addition, the surrogates in India only received a fraction of the expenses that intended parents paid the surrogacy agency — only $4,000 to $5,000 (Dh14,700 - Dh18,300) for compensation. With agencies charging more than double that in total, surrogates were commonly exploited in commercial surrogacy. Their poverty and lack of education drew them back into the surrogacy process over and over again for this financial gain, and their health declined as they effectively became "baby-making machines" year after year. They also did not receive the kind of supportive services they needed for themselves and their family during this emotional journey.
In response to these stories emerging over time, the Indian government took steps to make the process safer for all involved.
Protecting rights
The Bill is aimed at ending the exploitation of women who are lending their womb for surrogacy, and protecting the rights of children born through this. The Bill will also look after the interests of the couple that opt for surrogacy, ensuring that there are laws protecting them against exploitation by clinics that are carrying this out as a business.
Other countries like Thailand and Nepal have recently implemented surrogacy bans, as well, and UAE is one of them.
Surrogacy is illegal in the UAE
As per family laws in place in the United Arab Emirates, surrogacy agreements do not exist here. In fact, a surrogacy agreement can be treated as a criminal offence in the UAE, and individuals involved will be punished under Federal Law. In April 2019 the Federal National Council (FNC) passed a draft law on medical assistance for reproduction that allows embryo, egg and sperm freezing, but bans surrogacy, egg and sperm donation.

14 tires stolen, $11K in damage done to Port Charlotte dealership
12:03 AM EDT, Thu October 04, 2018
Charlotte County Deputies are on the search for a person accused of stealing tires from Harbor Nissan in Port Charlotte.
Staff at the car dealership said a witness saw a person loading tires into the back of a U-Haul truck.
Investigators are now looking to the public for answers.
Deputies said the person got away with 14 tires.
The General Manager at Harbor Nissan, Cameron Byrd, explained the stolen tires were spare tires to brand new vans in a lot across the street.
"Looking under the vans, [I saw], where they are stored, that a bunch of them were missing," Byrd explained.
Byrd said the vans were parked across the street in a lot.
"Being back there, the visual aspect is hard to see that area of the lot," Byrd added.
Aside from stealing the tires, the suspect also left behind $11,000 in damages.
"It's not just a tire. It's everything else that holds it up. It was cut, and unfortunately they can't be used," Byrd stated.
Anyone with information is urged to contact the Charlotte County Sheriff's Office.

After the equity markets move between 60-80% in Bill Gross' face, and he misses the entire move, all the while saying we will have 5% annual returns in stocks--What do you do?
Well you could call it a bubble. After all, you called it a sugar high, a brick wall, the escape velocity, and now you call it "Sugar Dady!" Pimp it Bill!
You try again! Call it a bubble. In fact, I'll send you the bubble blowing machine! Put it next to the picture of Bernard Baruch, and stare at it, when you're on your head doing yoga, which helps make you think!But its not that what Bill is saying isn't true. He's right, but its just not actionable in the stock market! Which is the frustration of those with the bearish bent. And at least he brings in Robert Palmer. Here's part of his latest missive.
Where government spending has gone is not always clear, but one thing is certain: public debt is soaring and most of it has come from G7 countries intent on stimulating their respective economies. Over the past two years their sovereign debt has climbed by roughly 20% of respective GDPs, yet that is not the full story. Some of governments' mystery money showed up in sovereign budgets funded by debt sold to investors, but more of it showed up on central bank balance sheets as a result of check writing that required no money at all. The latter was 2009's global innovation known as "quantitative easing," where central banks and fiscal agents bought Treasuries, Gilts, and Euroland corporate "covered" bonds approaching two trillion dollars. It was the least understood, most surreptitious government bailout of all, far exceeding the U.S. TARP in magnitude. In the process, as shown in Chart 1, the Fed and the Bank of England (BOE) alone expanded their balance sheets (bought and guaranteed bonds) up to depressionary 1930s levels of nearly 20% of GDP. Theoretically, this could go on for some time, but the check writing is ultimately inflationary and central bankers don't like to get saddled with collateral such as 30-year mortgages that reduce their maneuverability and represent potential maturity mismatches if interest rates go up. So if something can't keep going, it stops – to paraphrase Herbert Stein – and 2010 will likely witness an attempted exit by the Fed at the end of March, and perhaps even the BOE later in the year.
Additionally, if exit strategies proceed as planned, all U.S. and U.K. asset markets may suffer from the absence of the near $2 trillion of government checks written in 2009. It seems no coincidence that stocks, high yield bonds, and other risk assets have thrived since early March, just as this "juice" was being squeezed into financial markets. If so, then most "carry" trades in credit, duration, and currency space may be at risk in the first half of 2010 as the markets readjust to the absence of their "sugar daddy." There's no tellin' where the money went? Not exactly, but it's left a suspicious trail. Market returns may not be "so fine" in 2010.
At least he brings out the girls. But if you wanted somemusic to make you money, you had to go elsewhere. Like here, in March, with Pink Floyd. Or Elvis. To go with this steamroller over the shorts in March! Or Elvis here, to buy the casino names under $3!
We supposedly never were going to go out to eat, meanwhile Darden goes from 13 to 39 and EAT rallies from 4 to 18.We supposedly were never going to eat organic foods again; meanwhile Whole Foods rallies from 7 to 19. We supposedly never were going to buy a gadget that needed flash memory again; meanwhile SNDK rallies from 5 to 15. We supposedly never were going to buy a Ford truck again; meanwhile Ford goes from 1 to 5. We supposedly never were going to shop again except at the Dollar stores; meanwhile Nordstrom's rallies from 6.66 to 22. Big names touted here on March 9, had huge moves also. It wasn't just the small numbers that moved! GE from 6 to 12. IP from 4 to 10. AKS from 5 to 12. BAC from 3 to 9. WFC from 9 to 21. USB from 9 to 18. And now the homebuilders are breaking out, including the supposedly ugliest ducklings, HOV and BZH, which are both trading at 2.77, on their way to another double, after going up 5X and 10X already. Weren't their tax losses worth anything? The bears said no, because no-one was supposedly, ever going to make another nickel building a house again!
It seems no coincidence that stocks, high yield bonds, and other risk assets have thrived since early March, just as this "juice" was being squeezed into financial markets.
Wow! He sees it now! After it happened! Give him a gold star! Why after the fact? Why not before it happens? If it was so obvious?
Probably because he can't! Because Bill Gross seems to have a different vision of Bernard Baruch than I do. Because the Bernard Baruch I read about invested with faith!
Here's what he said on May 4, just a few weeks after my music songs imploring, and begging people to buy. Look at Bill's Bernard. Sacred and fearful. Almost a crybaby!
Our task is to identify secular transitions and to preserve and protect capital if indeed it is threatened. Now appears to be one of those moments.
Do not be deceived by the euphoric sightings of "green shoots" and the claims for new bull markets in a multitude of asset classes.... Mohamed El-Erian's and PIMCO's "new normal" should trump green shoot exuberance for years to come.
How did that advice work out? Who was deceived? How about just once, admitting that you blew it!
But then agin, PIMCO has their own version of events.
Remember their Holiday card? The secret is "dog years!"
We have much to be thankful for this year. We were able to massively front run the US Government in their purchase of mortgage securities, and then we were able to offload our purchases to Uncle Sam, allowing us at PIMCO, and our investors to have our own taxpayer funded stimulus.
For that we are very grateful.
We shook hands with Uncle Sam, but we wore a rubber glove when we bought our mortgage securities. We have now turned that glove inside out, and now we are massively overweight Government bonds of a longer duration.
We hope to shake hands with Uncle Sam again.
We are, of course, the world's largest bond house, but we also have a staff of PHD's devoted to understanding the equity market, which helped us immensely this year.
Their thought leadership, talent, and use of technology helped Bill Gross devise his thesis of 5% annual returns in the equity market for the foreseeable future.
We have had one of the biggest rallies in the history of the stock market, and Bill's call has been amazingly prescient. Bill, of course, measured this return in "dog" years, and therefore it needed to be multiplied by seven.
We felt it would be appropriate to memorialize that bold call for our 8 million clients this Holiday Season, and give our heartfelt thanks to Bill, as that call was made without any special insight from the Government.
We are proud of our firm's record and are always working to repeat and extend our successes.

A: Two things:
1) You have to add the subicon to the icon before adding the icon to the svgElem.
2) The location of the circle center cx,cy is way outside the drawing
See code or fiddle below, i moved the circle inside the drawing area and moved the order of building the icon. The remainder of the code I left out as it as you say was functional.

Electrician Job Description: Is This Career For You?
Reading an electrician job description is the first step in deciding whether to become an electrician.
Once you understand exactly what an electrician is expected to do, you will be able to decide if this is the right career choice for you.
Electricity is a very important part of our lives. We have become so dependent upon electricity that we would be hard-pressed to live without it, even for a day.
That is why electricians are in such high demand. We need people to keep our electricity flowing.
Keeping the power on is a big part of being an electrician. When power lines go down due to bad weather or an accident, the electricians are the people who have to go out there and fix the problem. Many times they have to go out in all types of weather.
They do not always have the luxury of waiting for a storm to clear up before going out to restore power. This is especially crucial near hospitals, or elderly care homes. Most hospitals have backup generators, but they are designed for short-term, emergency power. Electricians have to get out and restore full power as soon as possible.
Electricians often install wiring, connect the wires to outlets and switches, test for connectivity, and maintain a variety of electrical systems. These include, but are not limited to, climate control, security systems, and communications.
Most electricians will specialize in either maintenance or construction. However, a growing number now choose to do both.
and any other buildings where electricity is needed.
The blueprints tell the electrician how the wiring is to be installed, where to lead the lines and where to put the outlets. Every place where a light fixture, switch, outlet or piece of equipment is to be installed, has to be taken into consideration.
That is what makes blueprints so important. The electricity has to be available where the building owner needs electrical power.
Some areas may need a 240 volt outlet, like for a stove or a clothes dryer. Other areas just need the regular 120 volt outlet.
Industrial buildings have all sorts of different needs, depending on the type of equipment used. These could include transformers and several fuse boxes.
In factories and commercial buildings, conduit is put in place inside partitions, interior and exterior walls, or other concealed areas first. Small boxes made of metal or plastic (typically called a lighting panel) are fastened to the walls. These boxes will house the electrical outlets and switches.
The wire is then pulled through the conduit and connected to the boxes to complete the circuit. In lighter electrical uses, like residential buildings, plastic-covered wire is used. The most common type used is RW90/XPLE Unshielded Control and Unshielded Power Cable, rather than heavy-duty conduit.
The electrician is then required to connect the wires to circuit breakers, transformers and other components. The wires are joined together within the boxes using terminals, connectors, marrettes and lugs.
Once the wiring is complete, each circuit must be tested. The electrician uses ohmmeters, oscilloscopes or voltmeters to test the proper connections of the circuits, to ensure electrical compatibility, and to check for the safety of the components.
In addition to the general wiring needed for lights and appliances, electricians may also be required to install special wires, such as coaxial or fiber optics cable, for telecommunications equipment and high speed internet.
Electricians are trained to install telephone systems, street lights, fire alarms, security systems, computer wiring and various related equipment. Many also install electronic controls and connect motors to a power source.
The type of maintenance work in an electrician job description can vary greatly depending on where he is employed. Residential workers may be required to rewire a house and replace an outdated fuse box. This may include a new circuit breaker, or installing additional fuses to accommodate additional electrical needs.
Electricians working in large industrial companies might have to repair transformers, electronic controls, generators and industrial robots. In an office building, they may be required to repair various types of electronic equipment.
Much of a maintenance electrician's time is spent performing preventive maintenance. He must periodically check equipment to locate and repair problems to prevent breakdowns. Electricians advise management when equipment may become hazardous to use and if necessary, install new equipment.
In the event of a breakdown, electricians must repair the equipment as quickly as possible to minimize the loss of production.
Sometimes in the oil patch we get maintenance calls to drive an hour and half across the countryside to change out a fuse, or reconnect a loose wire in a PLC. Sometimes a lot of troubleshooting is involved.
An electrician job description would not be complete without mentioning some of the hazardous working conditions. The work is often very strenuous. Many times an electrician must stand for hours at a time. He has to work on ladders, scaffolding, or in an aerial basket.
Working environments vary. Some electricians have to work in hot, dirty or wet conditions. Some work in confined spaces, ditches, or some other extremely uncomfortable places.
Constantly exposed to dangerous environments, an electrician might suffer from electrical shock, fall off a ladder, or sustain cuts and burns. To prevent injury, an electrician must practice strict safety procedures. See our electrical safety tips page for more information.
It is not unusual for an electrician to have to travel great distances to a job site. Although the standard workday is eight hours, overtime is common.
Many times you cannot just lay down your tools and go home, especially in the middle of a crucial repair. You may have to stay until the equipment is in good working order. The next shift cannot just walk in and take over where you left off.
At the very least, you will have to stay to explain what you have already done, and what you expect that needs to be done to complete the repairs.
There are many variables in an electrician job description. It all depends on where you work.
Electrician Wages - What kind of wages can you expect to earn, as an apprentice, or as a Journeyman or Master certified electrician?
Electrician Salary - How much can you expect to earn in electrician jobs?
Electrical Apprenticeships - The best electrician jobs are highly rewarding, but can be dangerous.

Now in its third year MacKay Hannah's School Business Managers Conference continues to go from strength to strength. Expertly chaired by David Cameron, twitter handle '@realdavidcameron', the conference afforded the opportunity for school business managers from across Scotland to participate in an engaging day of discussion, action planning and networking.
David set the tone for the day by recognising that the conference must achieve more than simply revisit the issues discussed at the previous conferences. A regular visitor to schools in England David has witnessed first hand the role of School Business Managers (SBMs) in driving improvement and change in learning and teaching. He believed this could happen in Scotland were SBMs not stretched by the demands placed on then and therefore unable to fulfil the potential of the role.
This segwayed nicely into the first session of conference 'Excellent and Effective Management in Scottish Schools'. The three speakers Eddie Broadley, Cllr Paul McLennan and Craig Clement covered diverse areas covering amongst other topics: leadership; curriculum for excellence; relationships with wider learning community and the review of devolved school management. Each speaker challenged the audience to make the most of their roles. Eddie started by asking what genre of movie delegates though Curriculum for Excellence would be and then showed a video made by pupils at St Margaret's Academy in West Lothian?. Passion, commitment and energy were on display in abundance. In his discussion on East Lothian Local Authority's experience Paul followed by highlighting that "no legislation exists that stops innovation in schools"; an interesting fact that took the audience by surprise. Finally in this session of conference delegates heard from Craig about the experience of Angus Local Authority and its use of the devolved school management guidelines toolkit to inform planning, prioritising budgetary spending linked to school improvement plans. The subsequent Q&A session elicited a range of observations, questions and comments which are covered later.
In an important step forward to recognise the importance of the role of school business managers at a national level the second session of conference 'What support and recognition does the role need?' saw a fulsome discussion amongst delegates. Tellingly David remarked that he had never seen a conference where from the start delegates were fully engaged in their discussion groups; a summary of which will be collated and forwarded to the Cabinet Secretary for Education and Lifelong Learning as well as Heads of Education in Local Authorities.
What support is needed to enhance your role?
What changes would you like to see happen in your school in the near future?
• Three year rolling budgets- empower schools through DSM.
What should the Scottish Government and Local Authorities be doing to support the Business Manager role?
One exceptional idea on how to build recognition and improve your role?
• Do a risk assessment on what would happen if the BM disappeared - what wouldn't get done - is this risk understood.
Session three of conference 'Development and Data Management' saw two crucial aspects of business managers' work: data and systems management. Two key messages came out of the session from John Stewart (systems) and Maureen Falconer (data). In relation to systems management "if you're not getting what you want ask for it" and in relation to data management "if it moves encrypt it"!
The fourth and final session of conference 'You and Your School' saw Judith McClure entertain, engage and inspire delegates in equal measure. Judith challenged the audience to: ensure that "whole schools lead learning not just headteachers"; play a role in strategic planning and to be a key player in the leadership team. Judith argued that SBMs should be better paid and their work should be reflected in the College of School Leadership.
If a conference, seminar or training event is to have any impact on the professional development of its participants then it must be more than a nice day out away from the workplace. It can be difficult to judge the impact of events on participants particularly in specialist areas of work. In this case delegates agreed it wished to see a series of 'next steps' or outcomes from the conference which makes the task of judging impact on their professional easier to manage.
It is difficult to accurately capture the mood of a conference in a report. For a flavour of the passion and ideas flowing at the conference I recommend you take a look at the Twitter stream #SBM2013. It is informative and entertaining including my favourite quote of the day from David Cameron as he tweets Judith McClure: "We need a revolution, let's make some placards and get outside now!" I'm following her!!!
I look forward to seeing what advances have been made on the next steps by the time of next year's conference.

Never Say Die: After Six Long Years, Islanders Finally Playoff-Bound
By Daniel Friedman April 24th, 2013
Josh Bailey and John Tavares are a big reason for the Islanders' 2012-2013 playoff berth. (Brad Penner-USA TODAY Sports)
It's been six years — six long years — since the New York Islanders made their last playoff appearance.
To be more precise, it's been six years and four days since their Game Five loss to the Buffalo Sabres on April 20, 2007; a loss that sent them packing and set in motion a sequence of events that would prove to be heartbreaking for both the team and its fans.
It's been six years of missed opportunities, six years of failed arena campaigns, six years of misery and six years of ridicule.
I have nothing but the utmost joy for Maple Leafs' fans, who will get to see playoff hockey for the first time in nine years. With all due respect to them, they didn't have to spend those years worrying about a potential franchise relocation. Islander fans did.
After both the Lighthouse Project and August 1st arena vote were rendered unsuccessful, this team's future was very much in question. You would've thought that a fan base that's had to deal with the Rick DiPietro fiasco, the Scott Gordon/Bill Guerin fallout and plenty more, wouldn't have had to deal with more heartache.
The New York Islanders will move to the Barclays Center in 2015, but playoff games will still be played at the Nassau Coliseum this year.
But there was always a light at the end of the tunnel, and the upcoming move to the Barclays Center in Brooklyn means the Islanders will geographically remain on Long Island. More importantly, it means the Islanders won't be moving anywhere else, be it Kansas City, Kitchener or Kalamazoo.
After the 2007-2008 season, GM Garth Snow committed this organization to a rebuild, and in the five subsequent years, the pieces to that puzzle have come together.
I think it's only too appropriate that Josh Bailey (14 points in his last 18 games) has been one of the major contributors to the Isles' recent surge. Bailey was Snow's first draft choice (ninth overall, 2008) after announcing the rebuild, so in a way, things have really come full circle.
Kyle Okposo's also been a key cog for this team and was drafted two years earlier, but the GM at the time was Neil Smith and the Islanders were in the postseason that year. The rebuild had not yet begun.
Fast-forward to the events of Tuesday, April 23rd, 2013; a day that most Islander fans did not believe would ever end the way it did. The Islanders needed to earn at least one point against the Carolina Hurricanes to have a shot at clinching a playoff berth that night.
Playing their sloppiest game in weeks, the Isles trailed Carolina 3-2 near the end of the third period. The Hurricanes could have been ahead 4-2, but hit the post on a wide-open net with Evgeni Nabokov "halfway to Charlotte," as John Kreiser of NHL.com described it. Instantly, there was a sense that things might somehow go the Isles' way after all.
With the clock minutes from striking twelve, Evgeni Nabokov made an acrobatic desperation save on fellow countryman Alex Semin and, almost immediately, the Islanders regained possession and skated into the offensive zone. John Tavares darted towards the net on the left side, took a perfect feed from Matt Moulson and fired a shot at Dan Ellis, who'd been doing his best Patrick Roy imitation for the better part of that game. The puck glanced off of Canes' defenseman Justin Faulk and behind Ellis and, with just 1:01 remaining, the game was suddenly knotted at three-apiece.
The Isles lost in the shootout, but that didn't end up mattering much, because the Washington Capitals held on to beat the Winnipeg Jets in regulation. At around 10 PM, the Islanders officially clinched a playoff berth.
I'd love to sit here and tell you what I was thinking at that precise moment, but to be perfectly honest, I didn't know what to think. I walked around the house at least three times saying "I can't believe it, I can't believe it, I can't believe it" over and over and over again. The more I said it, the more I couldn't believe it.
Now that I've had time to internalize what happened Tuesday night, I'm still overflowing with emotion but I can believe it; I can connect the dots.
I'd always believed in Garth Snow, in the rebuild, in the guys on this team. I hadn't always believed in coach Jack Capuano, and I'm still not fully-convinced that, long-term, he is the right man for the job. That being said, I tip my hat to Capuano, because he has his team playing very good hockey right now.
With Ryan Strome, Nino Niederreiter, Griffin Reinhart and other top-flight prospects still in the system, this team has a very strong future. If they're already a playoff team now, just you wait; they're going to be even better soon.
There have been several ups and downs over the last six years, many of which were of the extreme variety. There's no question that, in those moments, it was hard for the Islander fan to envision that a playoff berth was even a remotely feasible accomplishment for this organization. Yet here they are, heading to the postseason six years later.
Moments are capable of producing an infinite number of outcomes and igniting an infinite number of reactions to those outcomes. For those who've been associated with this team during the last six years, most of those moments have produced unfavorable outcomes and have ignited negative, pessimistic and, in some cases, downright-cynical reactions.
Today, for the first time in a long time, the moment is yours.
Enjoy it. Embrace it. Let it last a lifetime.

YORKTON, Sask. – The Sunrise Regional Health Authority in Saskatchewan has pleaded guilty to health and safety charges in four incidents, including the exposure of multiple workers to a spilled chemical on three separate occasions.
The provincial government says the authority pleaded guilty last month to the violations at the Yorkton Regional Health Centre and was ordered to pay nearly $90,000 in fines and surcharges.
It says the incidents include the exposure of workers to formalin – a formaldehyde-based disinfectant – on March 20, April 8 and September 16 of 2015.
In another instance, a worker's arm got entangled in a laundry conveyer in May 2015, while two months later, a separate employee broke her wrist when her hand became pinned between the handle of a motorized cart and a door jamb.

Great Salt Lake Desert má délku 175 kilometrů a leží v nadmořské výšce 1 280 metrů. Povrch oblasti tvoří silná vrstva sedimentárních hornin, například jílovec, v nižších polohách jsou solné pláně. Velká část Great Salt Lake Desert je využívána jako vojenské cvičiště a není přístupná. Z východu na západu prochází územím silnice Interstate 80.

Hello everyone, have you been admiring the popup cake cards made with the Sizzix XL die but don't have a Sizzix Big Shot or the XL Die? I'll show you how to make the pop up card without the special die!
1) Cut 3 circles in the following diameters: 3", 2 1/2" & 1 1/2". I used a Petite Circle Nestability set but you could use a coluzzle or other circle cutting system. I used the dies pictured on the left. Be sure to cut it out of sturdy cardstock like Stampin' Up! colored cardstock. Flimsy cardstock will not hold the shape of the card very well.
2) Cut 2 pieces 2 7/8" x 1/2" out of sturdy cardstock. Cut 2 pieces 2 5/8" x 1/2" out of sturdy cardstock. Cut 2 pieces 2 1/8" x 1/2" out of sturdy cardstock. These pieces will be used to attach the circles to the inside of the card.
3) For the center support of the cake, cut a piece of sturdy cardstock (I used watercolor paper) or thin chipboard 3 1/2" x 7/8". Score at 3/8", 1 1/4", 2 1/8" and 3". Corner round the end with the 1/2" scored section. Place on the score board vertically and score at 1/4" from the rounded end down to the second to last score line as shown. Score down from 5/8" from the rounded end down to the second to last score line as shown. To reinforce the piece, cut 2 strips of cardstock 2 1/4" x 3/8". Glue the strips on each side as shown.
4) Score the 2 7/8" pieces as follows. Place on a score board or Fiskars cutter with a score blade and score at 1/2". Rotate paper all the way around and score in at 1 1/2". The finished piece should have a score at 1/2" and 1 3/8". Score the other 2 7/8" long piece in the same way.
5) Score the 2 5/8" pieces as follows. Place on a score board or Fiskars cutter with a score blade and score at 1/2". Rotate paper all the way around and score in at 1 1/4". The finished piece should have a score at 1/2" and 1 3/8". Score the other 2 5/8" long piece in the same way.
6) Score the 2 1/8" pieces as follows. Place on a score board or Fiskars cutter with a score blade and score at 1/2". Rotate paper all the way around and score in at 3/4". The finished piece should have a score at 1/2" and 1 3/8". Score the other 2 1/8" long piece in the same way.
7) Place the largest circle on your fiskars cutter (or use a ruler and xacto knife). Line up the fold line in the cutting track. Lift the rail and position the cutting blade at 1 1/4". Lower the rail and drag the blade to 1 3/4".
8) Place the second largest circle on the fiskars cutter. Line up the fold line in the cutting track. Lift the rail and position the cutting blade at 1". Lower the rail and drag the blade to 1 1/2".
9) Place the smallest circle on the fiskars cutter. Line up the fold line in the cutting track. Lift the rail and position the cutting blade at 1/2". Lower the rail and drag the blade to 1". All 3 circles should now have a 1/2" slit in the center on the fold line. This is where the cake support piece will be threaded through.
10) Use a strong adhesive like sticky strip and attach the scored strip pieces to the appropriate circles.
The 2 7/8" pieces go with the largest circle. The 2 1/8" pieces go with the smallest circle. The scored section that is 1/2" wide is the end that is taped to each side of the circle at the center point (opposite to the fold line).
11) Add sticky strip to each scored section of the strips attached to the circles. DO NOT do one continuous line of tape along both scored sections. They must be cut apart.
12) Create your base for the card. It needs to be nice and sturdy. I layered 2 pieces of cardstock on top of eachother and then scored down the center. Don't score 2 pieces and then try to tape them together. You will get some pulling and the paper won't lie down right. The base pieces of cardstock are 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" and 8 1/4" x 5 1/4". Use a strong adhesive to attach the layers together. Then, score at 4 1/4" or fold card in half and sharpen fold with a bone folder.
13) Attach the center support piece to the center of the card. Line up the 3/8" scored fold at the center of the card attach with sticky strip as shown.
14) Fold in the 1/4" scored sides and hold in place. Thread the largest circle onto the support through the center slit. Slide the piece down past the first 2 scored sections until you hit the last scored section where you can't slide it down any further. Open up the folded tabs on each side of the section above where the circle is resting. The 2 attached strips will fold down and under the circle and attach to the card base as shown.
15) Slip the next largest circle onto the center support piece and slide down to the folded out section. Fold out the tabs above it to lock into place. The 2 attached strips will fold down and under the circle and attach to the top of the largest circle at the center, as shown.
16) Slip the smallest circle onto the center support piece and slide down to the folded out section. Fold out the tabs above it to lock into place. The 2 attached strips will fold down and under the circle and attach to the top of the circle below it as shown.
17) Cut 3 strips of designer paper. Thinner paper works better because it easily folds and opens when the card is closed. For the bottom cake layer, cut a strip 10" x 1". For the middle layer, cut a strip 8 1/2" x 1" and for the top layer 5 1/2" x 1".
18) Secure one end of the longest strip to one of the folded pieces on each side of the bottom circle. Carefully wrap the paper around the circle. Be sure not to pull the paper under the circle. Have it just resting against the edge of the circle. Be sure to fasten the paper on the piece at the other side of the circle at the midway point around. Continue around the circle and tape in place back at the starting point. Repeat the same steps with the middle and top layers. The finished cake will look like this. You can make a candle for the top of the cake or attach a ribbon like I did in the sample.
When you fold the card closed, the cake should fold in on itself. The card will be bulky in the center. You can use a ribbon or make a belly band to wrap around the outside of the card to keep it closed.
For my sample, I punched out some cupcakes and put a couple on the inside. I decorated the outside of the card and used a ribbon to tie the card closed.
I hope you have some fun and try out this technique yourself!
Thank you for all your time doing this tutorial for us. I can't wait to try it.
wow! You are so patient. Thank you for your great tutorial.
WOW, thanks for the great tutorial, I do not have the dies, but now I can do it, thanks again.
Thank you for your great tutorial and the time to create this. I'm so excited to try it !!!
I DO have this die, but it was super awesome of you to break it down & share it with peeps who may not have access to it, but would love to make it. TFS!

Q: What am I doing wrong when trying to plot two numpy arrays? I'm attempting to plot:
x and y values on a ax.loglog plot but am receiving the following error:
ValueError: x and y must have same first dimension, but have shapes (4000,) and (1,)
I have a list of numpy arrays called holders, where:
len(holders[0]) == 4000
holders[0].shape == (4000,)
type(holders[0]) == <class 'numpy.ndarray'>

And I have a numpy array of frequency bins called fax, where:
len(fax) == 4000
fax.shape == (4000,)
type(fax) == <class 'numpy.ndarray'>

When I go to plot:
for i,j in enumerate(holders):
    ax.loglog(fax, j[i])

plt.show()

A: instead of j[i] in the for-loop, use holders[i].
j[i] is one single data point, since j is one numpy array in your list of arrays. To access the numpy array, you need holders[i].


Maintaining Transparency is a key for a school to get on the path to the most important Goal for a Educational institute and that is Innovation !!
Innovation is the essence of a developed society , driving innovation needs to be the most important goal of a Educational system and education institute. Any great university is known by the number of innovators who are alumni of that institute. To drive innovation school management needs to understand that rote learning has its advantages but real difference comes when an individual is able to think beyond books and is able to question theories and develop ideas.
Language learning by inculcating a habit of reading and providing online exams can help a school develop habit of reading with retention , it can make a institute constantly monitor the interest and problem areas for a child.
The effort needs to be away from grammer or teaching history and should focus more on letting the kid move from one topic to other but without letting him fall of the radar . Evaluation process needs to keep pace without too much emphasis on number and grades but needs to measure Interest …..

You call me Frank. It just easier. People think me called Frankenstein because of doctor who make me. But me not him. Me his monster. Me get called Frankenstein so much that me make peace with it. Better though just call me Frank.
It funny story how me end up doing trick-or-treating this year with nephew Kevin. Kevin not really nephew, but he call me Uncle Frank because his dad-creator, Dave, is close friend. Frank best man at Dave's wedding, to Tracy. Tracy sometimes a bit much to take, but Frank try to get along with her. Before Halloween, Dave say he taking Tracy out of town. Need to have day to "talk about us," so they ask Frank to take quote-unquote nephew to trick-or-treating. "Frank already have costume," they joke. Tracy make joke sound mean. Me agree to go, because me care for quote-unquote nephew Kevin.
At first house, we ring doorbell again and again. Nobody answer and Kevin disappointed. Kevin dressed as Frank's other friend, Wolfman. Me say friend, but Wolfman no call for many months at a time. "Full moon, things crazy lately," he always tell Frank. Frank want to believe him, but sometimes not so easy to do. Everyone busy.
At next house, nice old lady answer door and give Kevin Tootsie Roll. She say Frank's costume good. Dave tell me this would happen because Frank's clothes look like costume. Jacket tattered, but Frank always say comfort over fashion. So me thank old woman (maybe witch or maybe just also bad fashion sense). Kevin say thank you, too.
Next house has flickering light near door. Frank think this fire and tell Kevin we skip this house. Kevin get tears in eyes and Frank say he change mind and this house good. Kevin happy again. Seeing happy fake Wolfman make Frank think maybe me should call real Wolfman. Wolfman could call more, but Frank could call more, also. Friendship two-way street. Frank make mental note to call Wolfman. Maybe next year, Frank and Wolfman do trick-or-treating. Other mental note: If full moon, maybe no trick-or-treating with Wolfman. Wolfman do thing on full moon where he kill things.
Flickering light not real fire, just light bulb and Frank relieved. Leave house and Kevin start moaning like how Frank sometimes talk. At first me think Kevin making fun of Frank, but me realize Kevin have belly ache from eating candy too fast. Frank say, "Me tired. Maybe one more house and we go home." Frank make Kevin think it Frank's idea go home. Kevin can still be big man. Fake Wolfman nods and happy again.
At last house, young couple say bolts in Frank's neck look real. Frank smile polite but couple reach out to touch bolts. Frank get scared and kill couple. Feel sad but was only thing Frank could do.
Trick-or-treating more fun than me thought it would be. Dave say he appreciate Frank taking Kevin. He say because they go away his marriage still alive. He say it funny, "It's alive!" Me understand joke but don't think it very funny. But me smile so Dave feel like successful joke made. Maybe me even go trick-or-treating again next year. But first Frank lie low for while and see how double-murder investigation pan out.


NewRetroWave star Michael Oakley releases his new album "Introspect".
Scottish singer and producer Michael Oakley today releases the follow up to his 2017 debut "California", the sensational 80's electro odyssey "Introspect", on NewRetroWave Records.
While at high school in the 1990's, Michael discovered his sister's 1980's synth-pop record collection and fell in love with artists such as New Order, Pet Shop Boys, Depeche Mode and Tears For Fears. This inspired him to buy a synthesizer and start making electronic music of his own, however it wasn't until the release of his 2016 debut single's "Rabbit In The Headlights" and "Turn Back Time" that he found his sound.
"California" was released in 2017 to critical acclaim and was featured on NewRetroWave's top 10 albums of 2017 list and The Huffington Post. From it came the previously mentioned singles, "Afterglow" and the title track. Last year Michael released "California (The Remixes)" featuring remixes from other NewRetroWave artists such as Michael Cassette, Kalax, The New Division, Brothertiger and Betamaxx.
2018 turned out to be a busy year for Michael, with "The Remixes" project and producing Ollie (FM-84) Wride's debut single "Overcome" as well as the follow up single "Never Live Without You". And if that wasn't enough, he himself revealed the first track from "Introspect", "Control" to mass acclaim from across the board.
"Introspect" opens with the title track, a glorious instrumental piece and continues apace with seven full, high octane 80's action numbers with the exception of the one ballad "Now I'm Alive", a duet with another NRW star Dana Jean Phoenix. Highlights of the album include the aforementioned "Control" and the Erasure/Depeche Mode-esque "Left Behind".
Update 01/04: Michael talks about "Introspect" and performs tracks as well as discussing his influences. Enjoy!

The CBN has reiterated its stance on sustaining FX restrictions on food items that can be produced and consumed locally.
Chidi Emenike
The Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, has promised to sustain FX restrictions on the importation of food items that can be produced locally.
He promised to get even get more aggressive and continue with the drive of diversifying the economy, especially as similar policy initiated by the apex bank yielded a positive result.
READ: CBN moves to ring-fence Disco collections
This is according to an official video posted by the apex bank via its official Twitter account.
Commenting on the initiative to cut food importation in Nigeria, Mr. Emefiele said, "The Central Bank of Nigeria will get even more aggressive to see to it that food – any or all food items that can be produced in Nigeria and consumed in Nigeria, but currently being imported into Nigeria, are placed on the FX restriction list. Once, we go through our records, and convince ourselves that these products can be produced in Nigeria, the restriction will be effected''

What this means
The implication of this initiative when implemented is that you cannot source foreign exchange from the Nigerian FX market to import these items into Nigeria.
READ: CBN bars Payment Service Banks from accepting forex deposits
The initiative is part of the present regime's policy on diversifying the economy and reducing over-reliance on imports. It can also go a long way to ensure domestic food security by minimizing external risks and help the government to save foreign exchange that would have been used for importation. It will help protect local industries and create more jobs through the process.

Lagos State's Vehicle Inspection Service has launched a technology-based initiative to track, monitor and book traffic offenders.
The Lagos State Government has launched PayVIS, a number plate detection platform that captures vehicle offenders when they violate traffic laws and then bills them.
PayVIS is an initiative of the Lagos State Vehicle Inspection Service.
According to the information contained in the website of PayVis,
"PlateDetect is a Traffic analytics and access control application developed for Lagos State's Vehicle Inspection Service to track, monitor, and book traffic offenders."
"LASG VIS's PlateDetect ensures that all vehicle documentation (vehicle license, Insurance policy, Roadworthiness certificate, Driver's license, Hackney permit (Commercial vehicles only), Lagos State Drivers' Institute card (Commercial vehicles) can be verified and tickets raised for violators."
From an advert seen by Nairametrics, traffic cameras located beside traffic lights will capture traffic offenders without the presence of traffic officials.
To detect whether you may have had a prior traffic offense, vehicle owners are to visit their website, type in their plate number and then click on search.
Once this is done, a bill is generated for any outstanding offense.
On its Facebook page, the Vehicle Inspection Service said that it will be showing an understanding of the current economic situation to exhibit fairness and good faith by offering a 50% rebate on existing unpaid fines from January 1 to 31st January 2021.
Offenders are advised to take opportunity of the period to pay up, as 100% penalty would be payable after the deadline.

Maersk has called for military intervention in the Gulf of Guinea following several attacks by pirates.
William Ukpe
Maersk, the world's largest shipping company, has called for military intervention in the piracy problem in the Gulf of Guinea, which has made the gulf the new global headquarters for piracy.
This was disclosed by Maersk Chief of Marine Standards, Aslak Ross, in a Bloomberg report on Saturday evening.

He said,
"It is unacceptable in this day and age that seafarers cannot perform their jobs of ensuring a vital supply chain for this region without having to worry about the risk of piracy. The risk has reached a level where effective military capacity needs to be deployed."

On December 20, Maersk was attacked off the West African coast. Bloomberg reported that the Maersk Cadiz was boarded by 'criminals' on Saturday at about 2:30 pm Nigerian time, while traveling from Tema in Ghana to Kribi in Cameroon.
Nigerian naval ships arrived to help the vessel, which can transport the equivalent of 4,500 twenty-foot containers. Nigerian Navy Rear Admiral, Oladele Daji, said Nigeria is taking steps to combat the growing piracy problem by "ensuring that this menace of piracy is gotten rid of in our waters, so that those with legitimate business in shipping, fishing, and oil and gas, can go about their business without fear."
READ: Federal Government urged to scrap 12.5% new vessel tariff
Nairametrics earlier reported that West Africa's Gulf of Guinea recorded an unprecedented increase in piracy attacks in 2020, according to the International Maritime Bureau in its 2020 Annual Piracy report published on Wednesday.
The International Maritime Bureau (IMB) said its Piracy Reporting Centre (PRC) received 195 incidents of piracy and armed robbery against ships worldwide, in comparison to 162 in 2019. The incidents included three hijacked vessels, 11 vessels fired upon, 20 attempted attacks, and 161 vessels boarded.
135 crew members were kidnapped from their vessels in 2020, with the Gulf of Guinea accounting for over 95% kidnapped.
The FG has announced plans to organize tripartite stakeholders' meeting to resolve issues on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway.
Chike Olisah
The Federal Government has announced plans to organize another tripartite stakeholders' meeting, as they have reiterated their commitment towards resolving the incessant gridlock and truck menace on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway.
This disclosure was made by the Coordinating Director, Highway Construction and Rehabilitation in Nigeria, Mr Funsho Adebiyi on Saturday during an inspection tour of the ongoing Lagos-Ibadan Expressway rehabilitation and reconstruction project.
According to a report from the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Adebiyi said that those invited to the meeting include the Lagos, Ogun and Oyo state governments, as well as truck drivers and owners, traffic regulatory agencies, amongst others.
What Mr Adebiyi is saying
While expressing regret that the constant presence of articulated trucks parking indiscriminately on the Oghere section of the ongoing Lagos-Ibadan Expressway project is damaging new construction work on the highway, he said that drastic steps must be taken to tackle the problem in each of these states in conjunction with their governments.
"You see trailers in their hundreds park on the road shoulders we are just repairing. Some of them are not parked empty, they are carrying as much as 900 bags of cement and they are abandoned there on the road shoulder.''
He pointed out the need for another meeting, as the 4 previous stakeholders' meetings held with truck drivers and owners, as well as other stakeholders did not achieve the desired results.
Adebiyi said,
"I had invited my Minister to a town hall meeting before and he has met them and we are organizing another town hall meeting with them next week Friday and Saturday, to come and sit down with them to discuss with the truck drivers, truck owners, the truck park operators. We are making efforts also to construct parks where they can park – about 4,000 capacity truck park. It will be constructed still along this Oghere end, but we are begging them to stop parking on the road.''
Adebiyi, during an earlier inspection of section one of the highway which stretches from Ojota in Lagos to Sagamu interchange, said the federal government was constructing two major additional interchanges.
He also added that two flyovers were being constructed on section one, in addition to 14 existing ones on other stretches in Ogun and Oyo, to curb gridlock and improve the safety of new communities along the axis.
The reconstruction/rehabilitation of the Lagos-Ibadan expressway, which faced several setbacks was flagged off in 2013 with the award of the contract to 2 firms.
Section one of the project that spans from Ojota in Lagos to Sagamu interchange in Ogun state was awarded to Julius Berger, while the other section which spans from Sagamu interchange to Ibadan was awarded to RCC.

Any solution?

A:
Any solution?

export Header from './Header/Header'; is not valid syntax, however there exists a proposal to support it.
The repository you linked to configured babel to support this proposed feature by using the stage-0 preset:
{
  "presets": ["react", "es2015", "stage-0"],
  ...
}

stage-0 includes stage-1 which contains the transform-export-extensions plugin that implements this feature.

But to be clear, you don't have to use this experimental feature.
export {default as Header} from './Header/Header';

has the same effect and is standard ES6.

A: Try
export default from './Header/Header';


Shimla: Indo-Pak World twenty20 cricket match has been shifted from the HPCA Dharamshala stadium to the Eden Gardens Kolkata.
The BJP Hamirpur MP and BCCI general secretary Anurag Thakur has blamed Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh for playing politics over the martyr and creating atmosphere of doubt over the match and thus forces the ICC to shift the match out from the Dharmshala. He claimed that following the Chief Minister denial for providing security for the match, ICC changed the venue.
The Chief Minister, however, denied allegations, and claimed that the State Government had never refused to provide security for the match and the decision to shift the venue to Kolkata was that of the ICC.
The Chief Minister stated the Government has great respect for the sentiments of the ex-servicemen and family members of the martyrs and at the same time it had not shirked away from its duty and responsibility of maintaining peace, tranquility and law and order at any point. He said that he had even advised BCCI Secretary to approach the family members of the martyrs and the ex-servicemen league and seek their support, so that right environment could be created for the cricket match without hurting the feelings of the soldiers and their families. A senior BJP leaders including Shanta Kumar were also opposed to holding of the match at Dharamsala and had even conveyed his resentment in writing to the Prime Minister and Chief Minister of Himachal Pradesh, he further added.
Chief Minister said that the people of the State were opposing only the match with the Pakistan, as matches with other countries would be played at Dharamsala as per schedule and the State Government would provide security and other necessary support for the success of the tournaments.
