Outlander's Sophie Skelton and Richard Rankin Weigh in on Which Cast Members Could Survive in
One star would have a tough time without Instagram.

Season five of Outlander takes place in the 1770s, amid the beginnings of the American revolution, but off-screen, some of the show's actors are better fit to live in the past than others.
Over the weekend, fans of the time-travel drama celebrated World Outlander Day on June 1, which marks the anniversary of the publication of Diana Gabaldon's first Outlander book.
In honor of the occasion, the stars of the series answered a few question from fans in a new video.
Notably, Richard Rankin and Sophie Skelton were tasked with a query about which members of the cast would "thrive on Fraser's Ridge" in the 1770s, and which stars would struggle.
Skelton didn't even have to think before calling out her co-stars, Heughan and Rankin. Apparently the men of Outlander are more tethered to their technology than their female counterparts.
"I think Richard would struggle because he wouldn't have his computer, and Sam would struggle because he wouldn't have Instagram," she says. "Cait and I would be fine because we'd have a good chat and whiskey. "
Her on-screen love interest agrees with her.
"I think that's probably true," Rankin says. "I think Caitriona and Sophie would probably fare the best in this time period. I would definitely struggle without my camera, my PC, tech, my phone."
Watch the full video, which also features interviews with Sam Heughan, Caitriona Balfe, Cesar Domboy, and Lauren Lyle, below:

Sheldon Richardson showed his value in Mike Zimmer's defense in the first quarter of his first game in a Vikings uniform. The veteran defensive tackle turned the 49ers offensive line into mincemeat on back-to-back plays.
First, he drew a holding penalty when the left guard grabbed him by both shoulders and tackled him. Richardson flipped sides with nose tackle Linval Joseph on the next play and created destruction there, too.
He shoved the right guard backward, then shot through the gap between the center and guard to pressure quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo.
Statistically, Richardson shared a sack with Everson Griffen, but the pocket collapse was the product of Richardson's bull rush up the middle.
"I told him I hadn't seen that guy before," Zimmer said after Richardson's dominating debut for the Vikings.
If Richardson continues to perform like that guy, he likely will be the next guy to receive a lucrative extension from the organization. Through two games, he has been one of the defense's most disruptive and productive players.
"He's motivated," Griffen said. "I don't know if [defensive line coach Andre] Patterson is getting in his ear, or Coach Zimmer is getting in his ear."
Perhaps he recognizes an obvious need and opportunity. Zimmer has long coveted a pass-rushing, three-technique tackle. That position is one of the most vital in his scheme, and Zimmer has a certain vision for what he wants and how it should be played.
Richardson has fit that mold perfectly. He leads the team in quarterback hits (six) and quarterback hurries (16), which highlight his explosiveness because the Vikings have a pair of dynamic edge pass rushers in Griffen and Danielle Hunter.
"This defense is good for my skill set," Richardson said. "Great for it. Just trying to make sure we keep it that way."
Richardson signed a one-year, $8 million deal in March. Basically a prove-it deal. At age 27, he's making a case that he deserves to be included in the big-money corps of defensive players under contract for the next three, four years. That's predicated on Richardson continuing at this pace, of course.
"He's a great player," linebacker Eric Kendricks said. "He's athletic, he's explosive and he's strong. Those are the three characteristics you want out of a three-technique."
Richardson was involved in a key moment last week at Green Bay that opened the door for the Vikings in the second half. He drew a holding penalty that nullified a touchdown pass on third down late in the third quarter. The Packers settled for a field goal, which kept the deficit manageable.
Richardson's ability to create pressure benefits the defense in two ways. For starters, he has the quickest path to the quarterback, which can disrupt a play's timing.
His presence also helps defensive ends because quarterbacks have less room to move around in the pocket if consistent pressure is coming off the edge and up the middle. Richardson already has flushed the quarterback into sacks by both Griffen and Hunter.
"He's bringing the offensive guards onto the quarterback's feet, which is something that's really helpful for the defense," Hunter said. "It helps the ends being able to rush around the edge and not having quarterbacks step up."
Richardson handed a percentage of his first paycheck to the league when he was fined $20,054 for roughing the passer in Week 1. That topic has become contentious around the league.
Richardson went old-school when asked if greater emphasis — and confusing guidelines — on protecting quarterbacks forces him to alter the way he rushes.
"You remember how Deacon Jones used to get sacks and stuff like that?" he replied. "I'm pretty sure it's a lot different now."
Um, yes. The Hall of Fame defensive end retired long before Richardson was even born. How does he know about Deacon Jones?
"My father was a big fan," Richardson said. "Thank God for YouTube coming out when I was in high school. I learned a lot from that and NFL Films."
He probably shouldn't try to imitate Deacon's patented head slap. That's a definite no-no.

Ah, the '90s. The era of bucket hats, butterfly clips, the first Macintosh computers, "Friends," and phones made for the sole purpose of actually making calls. A lot has changed in the decades since, and Black Friday is no exception.
Though the biggest sale day of the year has always drawn hearty crowds of savings-hungry shoppers, the craze of the holiday has increased tenfold in the past two decades. What was once a day of wildly low prices on the year's most-wanted items is now a cultural phenomenon spanning an entire week, with its cousin Cyber Monday immediately following.
In 1996, we could watch the morning news broadcast live interviews with those few dedicated shoppers camped outside of electronics stores, determined to be the first to grab one of a limited stock of coveted Macintosh computers or Nintendo 64s.
This year, we'll scroll through Twitter to see online versions of local news broadcasts showing interviews with scores of similar dedicated Black Friday veterans, though they're more likely to be awaiting a chance to snag a new 50-inch TV, or an Apple product exponentially more advanced than that of its '96 predecessors.
To see just how much things have really changed, check out this list of comparisons between Black Friday ads and sales in 1996 to projected Black Friday ads in 2016.
Not only did technology — and the world — not come to a screeching halt in the year 2000, but the world's fascination with and reliance upon technological innovation has increased tenfold in the years since.
Aside from the aforementioned Macintosh desktop, some of the other biggest electronics buys in '96 were the 1.2 GB hard drive ($220 after rebate); the Motorola flip phone (free with contract); the Walkman (between $15 and $60); the 4MB memory upgrade ($30); 28.8 kbps modem ($280); 13-inch TV with built-in VCR ($300); CD Rom drive ($150); pagers ($70); and the Packard Bell desktop computer ($1,467 after rebate).
This year's list of most-wanted tech items looks pretty similar to that from 1996, though much more advanced. Although most Black Friday 2016 ads aren't live yet, there are some predictions based on previous years and current sales. According to TheBlackFriday.com, one of the hottest items on sale at Best Buy right now is the LG 55-inch 4K Ultra Smart HD TV, which may also be a Black Friday favorite. In 1996, we could barely fathom a smart TV, let alone an ultra-smart one. Also, some Black Friday aficionados are suggesting drones will be a big hit this year, though these are a bit of a wild card.
Games, too, are traditionally a huge draw for Black Friday shoppers. In 1996, besides the Nintendo 64, the Sega Saturn was a major deal, selling for $200. The Super Game Boy was advertised at $40, as were PlayStation games. And lest we forget, before there were smartphone apps like Pokémon Go, there was the Tamagotchi, which, in '96, sold for just a few weeks' allowance, or $15.
This year, some Black Friday experts are suggesting the release of the Xbox One S and the rumored release of Sony's PlayStation Neo, along with the discontinuation of Xbox 360s and Disney Infinity, will lead to major steals on gaming consoles. There are also a host of remastered video games about to be released, such as Bethesda, Call of Duty: Infinite, and Pokémon Sun and Moon, leading many to suggest that games will be a major Black Friday focal point.
Of course, no Black Friday would be complete without a mad dash to the toy aisle for the season's most beloved toy. In 1996, the champions of children's hearts everywhere were by far the Tickle Me Elmo doll and Beanie Babies. As for the latter, these were also a big hit with many teens and adults, rumored to gain significant value over time.
Today, some of the hottest toys of 2016, as named by Walmart, include the Nerf N-Strike Elite HyperFire Blaster, Razor Scooter, Paw Patrol Zooming Marshall, and the Sky Viper Streaming Drone. No word yet on which of these will be available for deep Black Friday discounts, but it's likely the drone won't be the only one flying off the shelves.
When it comes to pop culture, though the faces have changed, our hunger for it has stayed the same. While most of us nowadays watch TV and movies from our computers or flat-screens, back in '96 the wide-screen TV marked the dawn of a new era. Some of the hottest Black Friday deals on movies included films like "Forrest Gump," "True Lies," and "Braveheart" available from $9.99 to $15.95—or about the price of one month's subscription to Netflix. When it came to the still-popular VHS, some of the coolest buys were "Buffy," "Young Frankenstein," "The Good Son" and "Alien Nation," all on sale for $5.99 a piece.
This year, predictions for some hot entertainment buys include DVDs of popular movies like "Anchorman 2" and "Magic Mike XXL" on Blu-Ray for $9.72. You'll also be able to grab titles like "The Walking Dead" and "True Detective"—full box sets for about $10 each.
Clearly, Black Friday has changed quite a bit over the past 20 years, but our love of shopping will never end.

Q: How to create an incidence matrix I am trying to create
[[ 1,  1,  1,  0,  0,  0,  0,  0,  0],
 [-1,  0,  0,  1,  1,  0,  0,  0,  0],
 [ 0, -1,  0, -1,  0,  1,  1,  0,  0],
 [ 0,  0,  0,  0, -1, -1,  0,  1,  0],
 [ 0,  0, -1,  0,  0,  0, -1,  0,  1],
 [ 0,  0,  0,  0,  0,  0,  0, -1, -1]]

S=[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
D=[[1, 2], [1, 3], [1, 5], [2, 3], [2, 4], [3, 4], [3, 5], [4, 6], [5, 6]]
INC = [[0]*len(D) for _ in range(len(S))]

for i in range(len(D)):

after this I am doing something wrong to where I just get a matrix of zeros
    for j in S:
        if i == j:
            INC.append(1)

I have tried spiting D into two different lists and it started to get to complicated for me
my_list1 = [i[0] for i in D]
my_list2 = [i[1] for i in D]

A: My best guess of what you want...your variable names are pretty poor. I'd use NetworkX (networkx) and let it do all the math.
import networkx as nx

nodes = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
edges = [[1, 2], [1, 3], [1, 5], [2, 3], [2, 4], [3, 4], [3, 5], [4, 6], [5, 6]]

G = nx.DiGraph()
G.add_nodes_from(nodes)
G.add_edges_from(edges)

incidence_matrix = -nx.incidence_matrix(G, oriented=True)
# ^ this returns a scipy sparse matrix, can convert into the full array as below
# (as long as your node count is reasonable: this'll have that squared elements)
print(incidence_matrix.toarray())

Output:
[[ 1.  1.  1.  0.  0.  0.  0.  0.  0.]
 [-1.  0.  0.  1.  1.  0.  0.  0.  0.]
 [ 0. -1.  0. -1.  0.  1.  1.  0.  0.]
 [ 0.  0.  0.  0. -1. -1.  0.  1.  0.]
 [ 0.  0. -1.  0.  0.  0. -1.  0.  1.]
 [ 0.  0.  0.  0.  0.  0.  0. -1. -1.]]

A: This is merely an alternate approach that differs from your version, but you can use it as inspiration. I believe you should read about append.
Anyway... This is my take on your incidence matrix:
rows = 6
cols = 9
ones = [[0,1,2], [0,4,5], [1,3,5,6], [4,5,7], [3,6,8], [7, 8]]

INC = [ [ 0 for i in xrange(cols) ] for j in xrange(rows) ]

for i,row in enumerate(ones):
    for col in row:
        INC[i][col] = 1

[[1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
 [1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0],
 [0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0],
 [0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0],
 [0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1],
 [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1]]

Note that I am operating on rows, not columns as I suspect you are doing.
Insert '-1' by making the values in "edges" +/- and use if -, elif +, else pass if you want to implement this version.
In Python3 xrange must be changed to range

Business fads come and go, but Email Marketing has consistently outperformed all other marketing strategies. In Email Persuasion, marketing expert Ian Brodie reveals the techniques that are working right now to allow professionals and small businesses to connect with potential clients, build trust-based relationships and generate more sales through email.
• The Customer Insight Mapping technique for building deep understanding of what your clients need and what will motivate them to buy from you.
• 6 surefire subject line models that will get your emails opened and read.
• The "optin formula" for getting the right people to subscribe to your emails (and how to accelerate the growth of your subscriber list).
• How to engage AND persuade with your emails so that you build a loyal "fan base" ready to buy from you.
• The advanced techniques for turning email subscribers into paying clients (and why accepted wisdom on selling in emails is almost all wrong).
Email marketing is so effective for four simple reasons.
The first is simply that everyone uses email.
There are about 3.9 billion email accounts worldwide with around 25% being corporate accounts. And we send 182.9 billion emails per day (to put that in perspective, there are roughly 2.7 billion "likes" given on Facebook every day) with 100.5 billion of those emails being business related.
And according to McKinsey, we spend two and a half hours a day on business emails if we're employed or run a business. That works out at 50 hours a month.
So while there are plenty of business people who don't use Facebook or Twitter, and most consumers haven't gone near LinkedIn; you can be pretty sure that everyone has an email address, they use it frequently, and when they use it their brain is engaged: they're not just skimming through pictures of cats and inspirational sayings.
In fact, when you look at communication preferences both online and offline, it turns out that across all age groups, email is by far the preferred method for communications. Between 65-78% of adults (depending on age group) name it as their number one preference compared to 0-4% who prefer social media.
The second reason email marketing is so effective is that when you do it right, email is personal.
When you read material on a website, blog or even on a social media site you know it's a broadcast. You know it's meant for multiple people and you read or watch in that context.
But emails are different. They sit in your inbox next to messages from your friends, relatives, colleagues and clients. There's just something about receiving an email in your personal inbox that makes it feel like it's been made just for you. Especially if the email is skillfully written in the same style as the emails you get from friends and colleagues.
And typically the rules of play with email are that we try to read whatever comes into our inbox or we at least look at it and scan it. We feel uncomfortable if we miss stuff going through our inbox, just in case it was important. With blogs and social media, not so much.


I bought this denim jacket last year in a charity shop and have only worn it a handful of times! I had some leftover studs which I put on to give it new life one would say, now I am obsessed with it.
However I wish I had done this earlier in the summer because now as I am very cold blooded I can feel the autumn chill sneaking in.
A denim jacket is such a versatile piece of clothing as it can be thrown over mostly anything, and the studs just give it that extra edge!
I have attempted a new way of spicing up my photographs, what do you think?

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WHNT) - Each year, 4,000 infants die suddenly. Half of those deaths are due to SIDS, also known as Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.
Now, there's new startling data that shows Alabama's infant mortality rate is increasing. This sent mom-to-be WHNT News 19's Carrie Marchese in search of ways to protect her baby boy, due in May.
SIDS is defined as deaths in infants less than 1 year of age that occur suddenly and unexpectedly, and whose causes of death are not immediately obvious prior to investigation. SIDS is the leading cause of death among infants aged 1–12 months, and is the third leading cause overall of infant mortality in the United States, according to CDC.gov.
The American Academy of Pediatrics issued new recommendations in 2011 in regards to infant sleep clothing, bedding, bumper pads and similar products. These are the findings of the Task Force on Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.
Now, the State of Alabama has a new plan to improve babies' health and to cut our infant mortality rate. The Alabama Department of Public Health's Center for Health Statistics shows infant mortality rates increased in 2012, the last year for which they offered data. The rate was 8.9 per 1,000 live births. Read more on Infant Mortality in Alabama.
All nursing staff at Huntsville Hospital for Women & Children and Madison Hospital have received training on SIDS prevention and the use of specially designed HALO SleepSack Swaddles.
All babies of appropriate age (0-6 months) will use HALO SleepSacks while in the hospital. This includes newborns, NICU and the Pediatric floor and Pediatric ICU.
Education materials and instruction will be provided to parents and families on the importance of safe sleep/SIDS prevention and how to safely use the HALO SleepSacks.
All families with babies born at Huntsville Hospital for Women & Children and Madison Hospital will be given a sleep sack at no charge to take home. Additional sleep sacks are available for purchase through the hospital gift shops.
The Safe Sleep project is being funded for one year by the Huntsville Hospital Foundation and the March of Dimes. It is set to begin in late March 2014.
In the quiz the question abouut SIDS being caused by vaccines meds etc is the incorrect answer. The quiz says false but research shows that vaccines have been linked to increased SIDS rates.
I totally agree SmyliDae. In the past the SIDS death corresponded to the vaccine schedule.
According to the American Journal of Pediatrics, there is no link between SIDs and vaccines and according the the AJoP evidence suggests that vaccines might lower SIDs risk.
SIDS and suffocation are not the same thing!!! You can safely bed share with a little common sense. you can remove the suffocation risks to prevent suffocation but SIDS is unpreventable because it is sudden unexplainable death of an infant!!
SIDS is known as "crib death" for a reason. Safely bedsharing with an infant has been shown to decrease SIDS risk and supports breastfeeding. A recent study has shown that in an, albeit small sample, group the majority of infants that died had brain stem abnormalities. Isolating an infant in an empty box isn't going to change their brain stem. I think this story is poorly researched and full of terrible advice for new parents.


COLUMBIA — South Carolina now has two victories against top-11 teams this season. And, for the second time, the Gamecocks can thank their defense.
defense stood up against a most stern test, carrying No. 11 South Carolina past No. 8 Kentucky, 38-23, at Williams-Brice Stadium.
"I felt like we had a better team than Kentucky," USC coach Steve Spurrier said. "A lot of defensive guys played their hearts out."
3-1) had been ranked in Spurrier's three seasons in Columbia.
They'll rise higher by Sunday.
"We're excited about it," said end Casper Brinkley, who applied a ton of pressure all night to UK star quarterback Andre Woodson. "We want to stay there."
Spurrier improved to 15-0 against Kentucky (5-1, 1-1), which hasn't beaten South Carolina in its last eight tries.
This was to be USC's toughest challenge against UK during that run. On a night when the defensive line shined on national television, repeatedly getting in Woodson's face, Norwood stood out brightly.
"He had an All-American-type game," Spurrier said.
The blossoming sophomore jumped on a Woodson fumble early for a 2-yard score to put USC up 7-0. With a seven-point lead just into the second half, he scooped up an errant Woodson lateral pass and went 53 yards to stake the Gamecocks to a 24-10 advantage that was never really threatened.
South Carolina had only one defensive touchdown since Oct. 8, 2005, and it came Sept. 15 against South Carolina State.
Norwood blocked a punt last week against Mississippi State, turning the tide in a relatively easy win for USC.
He did it again Thursday through the course of the game, becoming just the fourth player in NCAA history to score twice on fumble recoveries in the same game.
"We stumbled, bumbled around a lot," Spurrier said. "We were searching around for some ballplays."
The offense found them at just the right time. South Carolina's 62-yard drive, finished by fullback Patrick DiMarco's 7-yard touchdown catch from freshman quarterback Chris Smelley, staked the Gamecocks to a 31-16 lead.
It was the most promising possession since a 10-play, 89-yard drive just before intermission.
USC saw only one third down on the drive, which included a 25-yard Cory Boyd run and three consecutive completions by Smelley to three different targets.
Smelley finished with 256 yards and two touchdowns. And, importantly, no interceptions.
"We had a funny night offensively," Spurrier said. "We either scored touchdowns or went backward."
But it was Norwood, Brinkley, Emanuel Cook and the South Carolina defense — also huge in the Sept. 8 win at Georgia — that made the difference when the offense sputtered.
The unit kept Woodson peering over his shoulder because of the pressure.
"It all started up front with the D-line," Brinkley said. "We made things happen to get this win."
On Kentucky's second offensive play, tackle Jonathan Williams smacked Woodson to jar the ball loose at the 10-yard line. Norwood pounced on it for the score.
There was a shred of karma in the play since Gamecocks tight end Weslye Saunders had fumbled at the goal line on the previous possession, giving Kentucky the ball with a touchback.
Midway through the second, with the score tied at 10, Woodson led a healthy-looking drive to the Gamecocks 9-yard line.
With end Brinkley bearing down on him on second down, Woodson fired wildly toward the goal line, where the ball was picked off by corner Captain Munnerlyn. Munnerlyn returned the interception to the USC 38, staving off a Wildcats score.
Woodson went an NCAA-record 325 pass attempts before throwing an interception last week against Florida Atlantic.
Brinkley was again harassing Woodson when he committed his third turnover, throwing a lateral in the general direction of fullback John Conner. Norwood picked up the ball and sprinted half the field to put the Gamecocks up 14 and significantly change momentum.
Woodson, thought to be a Heisman frontrunner coming in, finished 23-for-40 for 227 yards, with two touchdown and the three turnovers.
"I thought we did the job on him," Brinkley said. "This was a big win for us."

I owe profound gratitude to Mr. Statutory prohibitions exist against bribery and other kinds of influence peddling in dealings with politicians and government officials, although violations do occur and often result in considerable scandal and criminal sanction.
Because of the shortness of Canadian growing seasons, a significant portion of all food consumed in Canada is imported from elsewhere in the world.

The remaining French presence, in Quebec and throughout the eastern part of the country, while a strong cultural entity in itself, exercised only limited influence and effect at the national level. A Canadian Perspective, Funerals are both private functions, attended by family and friends, and public, as in the funeral procession from a church to a burial site.
It has also been shown that there is a lower chance of finding a fast food restaurant in a suburban neighborhood. They said that fast food is easy to get and they can have it any time of the day even during their work. Instead, keep dressing on the side and use your fork to sprinkle it onto the salad.
When, in the early s Canada would take the final step towards political independence by adopting its own constitution, it would do so through negotiation as well, and again, the antagonism between English and French Canada, which resulted in the Government of Quebec refusing to sign the constitutional enabling agreement would provide both the drama of the moment, and its fundamental character, one of compromise and collaboration.
Infor example, rioters in KarachiPakistanwho were initially angered because of the bombing of a Shiite mosque, destroyed a KFC restaurant. One report from Research and Markets recently discussed how consumers want ingredients to match " what they can find in their kitchens ," reflecting their hesitancy toward ingredients that sound like engineered chemicals.

A Royal Likeness
As heiress to the famous Laurent Fashion Dolls business, Marguerite Ashby's future seems secure. But France still seethes with violence in the wake of the Revolution. And when Marguerite's husband is killed during a riot, the young widow travels to Edinburgh and becomes apprentice to her old friend, Marie Tussaud, who has established a wax exhibition. When Prime Minister William Pitt commissions a wax figure of Admiral Nelson, Marguerite becomes immersed in a dangerous adventure—and earns the admiration of two very different men. And as Britain battles to overthrow Napoleon, Marguerite will find her loyalties under fire from all sides.
"Bravo to this creative author with a deliciously original edge! Christine Trent has definitely made her mark…I dare nickname her a modern-day Heyer." Enchanted by Josephine
Those who read THE QUEEN'S DOLLMAKER will know that Anne Marie Grosholtz, later known as Madame Tussaud, plays an interesting role in the story. When Kensington asked me to produce a sequel to DOLLMAKER, I thought that exploring a period of Marie's life that is generally not well documented might be an interesting escape for readers.
Most people know that the original Madame Tussaud's wax museum sits famously in London's Marylebone Road, where lines of eager visitors snake around the building daily. Truly, it's well worth a visit to London just to visit this fascinating place. But not everyone knows about Madame Tussaud's near-death experience during the French Revolution, nor that she had a traveling wax show in England for nearly 30 years. A ROYAL LIKENESS explores Tussaud's early years in England through the eyes of a young apprentice, Marguerite, who becomes an expert waxworker herself and gets embroiled in a scheme against Napoleon.
1. How did Marie Tussaud's experiences during the French Revolution affect the way she conducted business while in England?
2. How was Marie Tussaud's lifestyle unusual for her times, in terms of her independence and entrepreneurial spirit?
3. How do you think waxworks exhibitions of the early 19th century were similar to those of today? In what ways do you think they were different?
4. Many French aristocrats fled France during the Revolution for places like Scotland and England. How would the émigrés' lives have been impacted by Napoleon's threatened invasion of Great Britain?
5. How did Brax's background as the son of an impoverished aristocrat affect his decisions?
6. Were Marguerite's motivations for marrying Philipsthal sound? What would you have done if faced with her situation?
7. Is Darden's sense of duty admirable? How was his judgment sometimes clouded by this sense of duty? Was his attitude common or unusual in early 19th-century England?
8. Were you surprised to learn that there were sometimes women aboard naval ships, and that they sometimes accompanied crews into war? What do you think were overall attitudes towards women on ships?
9. During the Napoleonic Wars, alliances between countries shifted depending on the outcomes of battles, the rise of new leaders, and secret negotiations. How does this compare to the political map of today's world?
10. Today Madame Tussaud's waxworks sits in several permanent locations across the world. Why do you think the waxworks stopped its traveling format? What are the advantages and disadvantages of a waxworks being in a permanent location?
11. Lord Nelson's affair with Lady Emma Hamilton was considered scandalous during a time when many aristocrats conducted affairs. What was different about their circumstances that made society aghast over Nelson and Emma?
12. By the end of the novel, Marguerite has married a naval captain. What challenges might such a marriage have presented to a 19th century woman? Would any of these challenges still apply today?
13. Consider Marguerite's attitudes, feelings, and thoughts. In what ways is Marguerite a typical woman of her times? Conversely, how does she chafe against social conventions?

Posted by pureambient on September 22, 2014
or – "Dave Gregory – home at last…"
I suddenly realised, after many months of hearing the name "Tin Spirits" (but never, sadly, hearing their music – until now, that is…) the penny finally dropped: this is DAVE GREGORY'S band. Yes – that Dave Gregory, the one who used to play stunt guitar in that little ole' band from Swindon, the redoubtable XTC. For 19 years, across 12 studio albums, from "Making Plans For Nigel" in 1979 (from the remarkable 'Drums And Wires (1979)'), to "Senses Working Overtime" (from the remarkable 'English Settlement (1982)') on up to the celebrated "Apple Venus (1999)" (the last XTC album that Dave appears on).
Dave Gregory established himself as a stellar lead guitarist capable of precision-engineered, well-crafted and very creative guitar solos, including some truly unforgettable ones all the way from "No Language In Our Lungs" (from the remarkable "Black Sea (1980)") to "The Ugly Underneath" (from the remarkable "Nonsuch (1992)") and all points in between.
If Dave was the "quiet Beatle" of XTC, he wasn't so quiet when it came to his solos, and if Andy Partridge wrote the songs and had that crazy, boundless energy, then Dave was the thoughtful musical foil to Andy's uh, "Extrovert" personality. Dave also has an amazing collection of legendary electric guitars, vintage guitars and amps, and always had a few amazing vintage guitars to hand at every session, always the right guitar for the right solo – always well prepared, and always sounding just right for the song in question – whichever it may be. Yes, that's a lot of "always", but you count on Dave to come up with a great guitar solo for almost any song, no matter how strange, or how beautiful…
Don't forget, too, that Dave was also in "The Dukes Of Stratosphear", along with Andy Partridge, Colin Moulding of XTC, and his brother, Ian Gregory, on drums, the amazing 60s psychedelic rock parody band, and later on, worked with Steve Hogarth (and was a regular member of his touring band, too) and Dave has also appeared on albums by the Bournemouth prog band "Big Big Train", and of course, pre-, during and post-XTC, he has always been in demand as a session guitarist, too.
As the old reliable wikipedia put it: "Since leaving XTC, Gregory has been much in demand as a session musician with a number of artists, including Peter Gabriel, Aimee Mann, Cud, Marc Almond, Bingo Durango, Johnny Hates Jazz, Jason Donovan, Martin Newell, Louis Philippe, Lulu, Mark Owen, R. Stevie Moore and others. Gregory, who has been regularly involved in Steve Hogarth's h-Band, has also contributed to works by Porcupine Tree, including string arrangements on their sixth album, Lightbulb Sun, and for Dublin group Pugwash.
On 16 August 2009, English progressive rock band Big Big Train announced on their official blog that Gregory would be appearing as a guest musician on their sixth studio album, The Underfall Yard.[1] Gregory subsequently appeared on Big Big Train's Far Skies Deep Time EP and is listed as a full band member on English Electric Part One (2012)"
That demonstrates just how in-demand Dave's services as guitarist, arranger and musician are – one of Britain's "most desirable" guitar note-slingers.
Dave's newest band, Tin Spirits, first got together in Swindon, UK in the summer of 2008, when Aussie import, guitarist / vocalist Daniel Steinhardt from TheGigRig invited former XTC guitarist (and musical hero) Dave Gregory to a local studio to video record an 'amp shoot-out' with Dan's band The Hi-Fidels, comprising bassist Mark Kilminster and drummer Doug Mussard. The rest, as they say, is history…
Me saying "Stunt guitar" is absolutely short-changing him, Dave played a huge, huge part in helping Andy Partridge and Colin Moulding to create the "XTC sound", and if anything, not nearly enough credit goes to Dave, for his outstanding contributions to both their albums, and to their live shows – for two decades.
I remember when I saw XTC live, show 9 of the "English Settlement" tour, and I recall watching Dave playing, off to the side of the stage; he was multitasking in a really cool way, and when he reached over to play the squiggly synth line that follows Andy's lyric "just a spineless wobbly jelly fish…" from "When You're Near Me I Have Difficulty" (from "Drums And Wires (1979)") – Dave makes the "jellyfish" sound on his little synth – and then, right back to lead guitar…my jaw hit the floor, and I spent most of the night, trying to see around the incredibly energetic Partridge, to see and hear what Dave was doing back there – it all just sounded amazing! All good.
That show, XTC live at the California Theater in San Diego, California, (my then-hometown) on April 3, 1982 turned out to be the 9th and final show of the US leg of the tour, the rest of which was completely cancelled due to "illness"; but the well-publicised breakdown of Andy Partridge (just hours after young 1982 Dave Stafford saw them play live!!) was the real reason the tour was halted. The band never toured again, occasionally, some years later, doing a small number of acoustic shows on radio or television, or the odd TV appearance here and there…
Dave had joined XTC at just the right moment, just as they were breaking away from their frenetic "dance band" persona, and with the departure of the sometimes alcohol-fuelled organist Barry Andrews, they were, much to their own surprise, already becoming "serious musicians" – recording and touring behind "Drums And Wires" – an album that I still listen to often, well, for me, that's where it all started.
I have been a fan of XTC since the late 70s or early 1980s, indeed, I was fortunate to be at that very last live show they ever did, in San Diego back in '82. That's the only time I ever saw XTC or Dave Gregory play live, but the experience stuck with me, and based on seeing them that year (they were AMAZING!) I continued to collect their albums, and to follow their progress, as they moved into their own version of the Beatles' "Studio Years" – when touring becomes a burden, and the decision is, let's (still) make records, but, not play live.
This was mostly down to bandleader Andy Partridge, it was Andy who ended up so stressed out that he called time on live performance just HOURS after I saw him play a blinder of a show, and everyone was disappointed, because XTC live was one of the most energetic and interesting bands you could see live, in the early 1980s – they didn't really have a lot of competition, especially once they had delivered both the most excellent "Drums And Wires (1979)" and it's excellent follow-up, "Black Sea (1980)" – followed by the very excellent "English Settlement (1982)" – by the next excellent album, 'Mummer 1983', it was time for Terry Chambers the drummer to go – and go he did, to Australia to marry his girlfriend, and, after playing with the Australian band "Dragon" for a couple of years, after that, he never really returned to the music business.
Now drummer-less, it did not in any way phase the remaining three members of XTC, who were all long-time friends from Swindon, and Andy Partridge, Colin Moulding and Dave Gregory, carried on through the rest of the 1980s, and into the 90s, until eventually, Dave could stand no more, and he left – and, then, XTC was a duo – and Andy and Colin went on to make more albums, although for me, once Dave left – they were lacking that spark – sure, Andy is damn near as good a player as Dave is (they are both amazing guitarists, let's face it) when he makes the effort, and, he did make more of a real effort with the lead guitar parts on the 'post-Dave' albums, because I am sure he was conscious of the shadow and the memory of Dave sitting there in the studio, quietly ripping through some more amazing lead guitars for the latest XTC disk. The amount of lead guitar on records post-Dave, is noticeably less – Andy plays a few good solos, here or there, but it's just not quite the same….
But the eventual fate of XTC is a story for another time, for now, suffice to say, that Andy and Colin went on to create a very respectable canon of work after the departure of Dave, who suddenly found himself at loose ends – playing on sessions, playing wherever he could, for a quite a few years after he left XTC. Things were almost beginning to plane out, Dave was almost forgotten, and could easily have faded from the ever-quick-to-forget music fans, but luckily, a chance encounter with a trio of Genesis / XTC fans ended up in more invitations to jam, and over time, Tin Spirits, was formed as a four piece, two-guitars-bass-and-drums band – with Dave Gregory on lead guitar.
So – once I realised that I had been missing the boat completely for a few years, that this amazing band, Tin Spirits, had toured the UK (and I could have SEEN THEM live – extreme dismay!) and indeed, they had been, and, much to my eternal frustration, on their earlier tours, they did a lot of covers of prog and other music that they had a shared love for, including Genesis "Back In NYC" from "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway" and other songs by Rush, Yes "Roundabout") and even Frank Zappa. You can view some videos of some of these amazing prog covers on the Media page of the Tin Spirits official website.
Of course, it will not bother me one bit, if instead of these covers, that if we do get to see them (and I really, really hope we can…) that we might have to "endure" listening to them play most of the tracks from their new disc "Scorch" – and I will tell you, much as I would have loved to see and hear Dave Gregory play "Back In NYC" with his new band, it would be NO hardship whatsoever to sit and listen to Tin Spirits play some or all of the "Scorch" album – no hardship at all. 🙂
I have heard Scorch about four times now, and each time I hear it, I just end up feeling so uplifted, and it really, really makes me want to play the guitar (and only the very best guitar albums have that effect on me); it also really makes me want to write on guitar again (not something I've done a lot of since 'gone native') and one thing that Tin Spirits have been extremely effective at, is creating a very full, very prog sound, without the use of keyboards – none whatsoever were used on "Scorch", it's all guitars, bass and drums – as it should be, really. Dave himself is an accomplished keyboard player, but I applaud their determination, and "Scorch" is proof positive that you can make a big, big prog sound just with two guitars, bass and drums. Of course, guitar technology has come a long, long way, and the lines between guitars and synths, continue to blur.
But the main difference between Dave Gregory, amazing lead guitarist of XTC, and Dave Gregory, amazing lead guitarist of Tin Spirits – is that in the former, he didn't really get to play much at all – a solo here, a solo there, a keyboard solo, the odd guitar bit here or there – but nothing that he could really get stuck into – whereas in the latter, he doesn't just get stuck in – he excels, explores and explodes – you can hear that Telecaster cutting through the air during the epic "Garden State", and the extended solos that Dave is now not only allowed to take, but should be legally REQUIRED to take, will knock your guitar-playing socks off.
This is really a master class for lead guitarists, and we could all learn more than one thing from listening to "Scorch" – and the rest of the musicians in the band are not slouching, in any way – guitarist / vocalist Daniel Steinhardt (also a pedal board/guitar controller inventor – the inventor of the amazing TheGigRig) is damn near as experienced and as capable as Dave is, so it's a remarkable pairing, almost, but not quite, like having two Dave Gregorys in your band – and that, my friends, is a VERY good thing.
Bassist / lead vocalist Mark Kilminster and Doug Mussard (drums and vocals) are one of the most experienced and adaptable rhythm sections I have ever heard, and the way they slot in their backing, providing rhythmic support for the two interlocking guitar wizards – this would be, a "sort of" analog / mirror of the prog / pop "version" of Levin and Bruford supporting Fripp and Belew – I cannot think of any other truly analogous pairing of "amazing rhythm section" with "two remarkable and innovative guitarists" – I can happily and honestly say that about both King Crimson, and, about Tin Spirits.
And, another thing – the "no keyboards" rule has been faithfully followed, so somehow, Tin Spirits have created truly Progressive Rock, without the use of the dread synthesizer, and to me, to use just the guitar technology available, to be able to write for two guitars, bass and drums, and create the complex, intricate and beautiful music that is contained on "Scorch" – that is quite an accomplishment.
I am absolutely gobsmacked by just how good "Scorch" is, to the point where I plan to sit down this weekend, and order their first album, so I can have their entire recorded catalogue :-). I know that the first album is not rated as highly as "Scorch" is – but I am prepared and ready anyway, open ears and mind, and I am sure I will enjoy it. If this video is anything to go by (link below), it's going to be excellent – a 13 minute plus epic from that first album, "Wired To Earth"; here is "Broken" – this bodes well, sounds good to me!
I bought "Scorch" without having heard one note by Tin Spirits – and, as sometimes happens, it was an incredibly GOOD 'blind' decision. This album is currently rocking my world, and finally, after 19 years of tantalising glimpses of Dave Gregory's genius, from the guitar solos on "That Wave" from the remarkable "Nonsuch" to his brilliant work on "Drums And Wires", "Black Sea", "English Settlement", and so many other brilliant XTC albums; "The Big Express" is a huge favourite of mine, really, I love all of XTCs catalogue, one of the most enduring in this genre (start out punky, and then gradually mutate into the new Beatles – you know, THAT kind of band!) not to mention the 1986 smash hit "Skylarking" album, produced by Todd Rundgren – an amazing body of work, but now, Dave has started another one – and this one is the guitar band for guitarists who REALLY LOVE GUITAR – "Tin Spirits". Album Two, "Scorch", is fantastic. I haven't heard Album One yet ("Wired To Earth"), but, I will be ordering it this weekend.
From those tantalising glimpses of brilliance provided by a great solo from Dave on a really good XTC song, to this: where Dave is utterly set free, where he can solo for as long as he likes, and, this record is full of extended, and super-extended, and ridiculously super-extended guitar solos, many of them by Dave – and the range of playing, from Hendrix ballad style drenched in prog beauty to scathing Telecaster lead lines, I could just listen to the guitar solos, and duos, on this record over and over and over – and, don't get me wrong, the band has EXCELLENT vocals, but right now, I am bathing in the glory of a finally-unleashed, finally-unchained, doing it the way HE wants to, nearly endless guitar solos from Dave Gregory – FINALLY !!!!!!!!! If only Andy had let Dave play like THIS in XTC, we might have seen them become a brilliant Prog band too…
This boy can PLAY. He can PLAY good. He knocks my socks off on this particular disc, if you haven't picked up "Scorch", I recommend it highly – it's the guitarist's guitarist guitar album of the future, and I love what I am hearing – finally, freed from the 30 second XTC mini-solo, when Dave stretches out on album closer "Garden State", it's like getting to hear Hendrix practicing beautiful guitar for "Angel" or "Drifting" or "Little Wing" that's all I can think about, when I hear the fluid, sinuous, sounds of Dave's guitar, and his tones are pure liquid fire, they are musically SCORCHING, there is absolute purpose, and serious musical intelligence there, and never has there been a more aptly named album.
I will let others do the song by song analysis of "Scorch"; I am really more interested in conveying what an extremely excellent album "Scorch" is, and, also, trying to give it the back story it deserves, and how it fits into the chronology of both XTC, as well as Dave Gregory's long and very distinguished career as a great guitarist, arranger, and all-round musician, vintage guitar enthusiast, and now, playing in the band of his dreams – Tin Spirits. And for me, even though I've started at the wrong end of their short and sweet catalog, "Scorch" is an amazing musical document, and it is absolutely worth checking out.
I will say, the album opener, "Carnivore" sets the mood brilliantly, it's a proggy instrumental with lots of great guitar, but it's when we move into the next few songs, and you start to get to where there are well-defined guitar solos…and you suddenly "hear" Dave, you KNOW it's Dave just by the sound – and to my mind, the only guitarist that I think is similar to Dave, is the late, great Jimi Hendrix (but probably, the gentler, more melodic "side" of Jimi) – who is clearly, clearly a huge influence on Dave. So when that first "Gregory" solo hits your ears – you are suddenly really paying attention, and it does not disappoint – instead, it reels you in, you want more – and you don't just get more – you get a LOT more – more Dave Gregory guitar on this album than you will find on any three XTC albums ! And that is saying something…
The gentle, pastoral guitars of "Little Eyes" from "Scorch", take you everywhere from an almost King Crimson "Discipline"-style "interlocking" or what I call "gamelan guitars" to fluid, beautiful, liquid Hendrix guitar solos – the whole effect is so uplifting, positive sounding – a brilliant track, "Little Eyes" gives you a very good idea of the basic quality of the album – it's just a perfect little song – lovely. It's long instrumental outro, is a great showcase for Dave's amazing guitar style, and in this solo, you hear him reaching for the stars – and finding them, sparks flying – just one of those so-perfect solos, that then merges perfectly right back into the rhythm of the song…seamless, timeless – beautiful.
Take someone like Dave Gregory, with his massive collection of amazing vintage guitars, his knowledge of how sounds were created in the past, and his ability to recreate very specific guitar tones by using particular combinations of guitars, amps and effects, add in his many, many years of guitar playing, almost always, as a lead guitarists in one form or another – and you have a mature, powerful, guitar-force-to-be-reckoned with: Dave Gregory; in 2014 – suddenly, I can hear the culmination of that career, a player at the top of his game, the craft of guitar is relaxed, confident, powerful – you can hear it – in the beautiful guitar solos that are featured in almost every track on "Scorch". Remarkable! And really, really beautiful, too.
Get "Scorch" now, if you love prog, if you love pop, if you love guitar music, if you loved XTC, if you love the guitar work of Dave Gregory – heck, just get it – I bet you will like it! In Europe, you can get it from Burning Shed, in America, probably Amazon. This be rocking! I'm going back to listen to it again right now…ah…sonic bliss 🙂

This year, I changed up the birdseed that I'm using in the feeders outside the kitchen window, and, the new seed seems to have attracted a much more diverse population of birds than in years past.
The first unusual visitors were the blue birds that I mentioned in a previous post. I still have no idea what they are, but, since the first one landed on the porch, it has been joined by at least three more. I suppose there could be more than four, and, that they don't necessarily have to be the same four every day, but, four is the most that I have seen gathered on the fence at a time, so I'm going with it.
Yesterday, the newest diners joined the party.
I have even less idea what they are than I do the blue birds, but, they appear similar to the blues in size and general body shape. They co-habitate fairly well with the blues, but, are pretty nasty to my usual finches, who are probably starting to feel a wee bit peevish about all the new blood.
The last of the new arrivals are these tiny little guys.
There are several of them, but, they don't stick around for very long, so I think the intimidation factor of the larger birds may prove overwhelming for them.
They are also really, really fast, so getting good pictures of them has been a challenge.
I am really enjoying the new diners; I find it quite relaxing to sit in the bay window, basking in the sunshine and watching their antics. I'm seldom alone in this endeavor, and, it's safe to say that the felines are starting to resent my interloping on their territory.
Finn puts up with it for about two minutes before he shoots me the Evil Eye and attempts to bite my toe (I prefer my wildlife watching be done while barefoot).
So, I guess one of the unexpected perks of having an empty nest is having the time to observe the world as it goes on around me, without the pressure of sports schedules, school activities, and mandatory social engagements.
On the other hand, it sure will be nice when the babies are all home for the holidays and I can share my new friends with them. I'm sure they will find them every bit as fascinating as I do.
And, speaking of having a full house for the holidays, guess who will be joining us for Thanksgiving? Mikey and his mom! So, while I won't have my true-born baby boy with me for the day, I will have my honorary second-son, and, that's pretty awesome.
Then, for Christmas, I'll have the Cub back under my roof plus his sister, my sister, my nephew, and my mom. It's going to be, well, Christmas!
The last one might be a nuthatch. We have similar birds that visit the feeders at our "Cat TV" window. They are sometimes a wee bit aggressive with the house finches.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I can always count on you for my bird identification needs!
Wow I just love the photographs which u took. You really did a justice with the nature by your photography skills. I liked your work, please share some more of your work.

Freeman Gets Contract
Originally Published: December 21 , 2004
Morgan Freeman and Driving Miss Daisy director Bruce Beresford are working together again on The Contract, an action thriller set to begin shooting in March 2005. The Millennium Film project follows a grandfather, his son and grandson who get more than they bargained for on a camping trip when they meet with a professional killer on the run. The Contract will be the first joint project for Beresford and Freeman since 1990's Driving Miss Daisy, which won four Oscars, including best picture, and earned Freeman a Golden Globe and an Oscar nomination for best actor.
Freeman will also star in the Capitol Films thriller Lucky Number Slevin, with Josh Harnett, Bruce Willis, Lucy Liu and Ben Kingsley. Paul McGuigan is directing the pic, in which a case of mistaken identity lands Harnett's character in the middle of a New York Mafia murder. The film is set to go into production in January 2005, in New York and Montreal.
It's goingto be a busy production year for Freeman, with these projects happening back to back, and his normal publicity work for his upcoming features like Million Dollar Baby and Batman Begins.

The way how OsmoBTS interprets the A-bis RSL information elements regarding MS and BS power control is wrong.
Furthermore, even the actual power control loop is completely simplistic, results in oscillations and doesn't implement any of the configurable averaging as specified in TS 05.08.
Admittedly, loops.c is one of the parts of the osmo-bts code bases that are rather hard to read and of bad structure. See #1851 for another related issue to generalize and refactor those loops, particularly also across BTS models.
BSC wants to set the MS power level via an MS POWER CONTROL message.
transmission, I would actually expect it to work.
where hence we have to actively tell the PHY that the MS power level has changed.
and then running those tests with OsmocomBB against osmo-bts-trx, osmo-bts-sysmo, etc.
From my reading of the code, the feature "static MS power control" is looking for should already work if the level is communicated via the RSL MS POWER CONTROL message, and not via the RSL CHANNEL ACTIVATE, as the former is setting lchan->ms_power_ctrl.fixed = 1 where the latter is setting it to 0. Having TTCN3 tests for this would allow us to ascertain this for sure and ensure it keeps working.
There is now a TTCN3 test that sends RSL MS POWER CONTROL and simultaneously checks that the L1 header of the SACCH channel contains the expected power level. From what I can see so far in the tests the external power control should work fine.


Since I was a small child watching with my papaw, I have loved college basketball. After spending seven glorious years and obtaining two degrees from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, I LOVE Tar Heel basketball. As a result, for those of you who follow such things, you understand that last night was a very difficult night for me. For those of you who weren't glued to the TV way too late on a school night, let me set the scene: UNC played Duke in Chapel Hill; the last minute of the game, with Duke up by one point, UNC rebounded the ball from Duke. With more than 20 seconds left on the clock, UNC had the ball and a chance to win. UNC had three timeouts left to take to set up a play. UNC rushed down the court, never took a timeout, took a really bad shot no one can understand, and the game was over…UNC lost again to Duke…at home. Sports fans, it doesn't get much worse than that.
Roy was wrong because he missed the fundamental piece of Dean's plan—and it's the same piece that companies miss in critical HR decisions: training. Dean's teams were trained on how to respond in high pressure situations without calling a timeout. They knew who should have the ball and how to call the play. They didn't need the timeout. Roy's teams on the other hand, don't appear to be trained for these circumstances. They didn't know how to react and the result was poor. Similarly, many companies promote individuals into supervisor roles; publish harassment, accommodation and other policies that tell employees to bring all sorts of complaints and reports to supervisors; and then are shocked when the supervisors react in ways that cause problems for the companies.
Supervisor training on how to spot harassment complaints and requests for accommodation (disability or religious) and then how to respond to employees is critical for them to be successful in these often high stress situations. Companies that direct employees to bring such issues to supervisors without providing them with the training to know what to do are setting themselves up for a loss—whether it be of a talented employee or in a legal situation. Employers should either train their supervisors on these matters or change their policies so that employees are not directed to supervisors with these difficult situations. If employees are not directed to supervisors, supervisors just need to know that they should direct any concerns that come their way to human resources.
I often write about the importance of supervisor training because the lack of training is a common mistake I see good employers make. The idea of supervisor training may seem like a hassle, but it can be done relatively easily. No more than an hour is needed to convey the basic important information supervisors need to know to keep the company and themselves out of trouble. Further human resources professionals or attorneys are available to perform the training or provide materials. I've done a fair amount of such training myself. I always find that supervisors not only learn a lot, but they feel more supported and are more willing to call HR when needed than before the training. So it is a win-win for the company.
If you haven't trained supervisors recently on knowing how to identify and respond to complaints and requests, I recommend that you consider it this spring. You also should take a look at your policies to determine which point employees to front line supervisors for assistance and question whether the supervisor (as opposed to human resources) is the proper first contact with an employee on the issue.
In other words, make sure your supervisors either know what to do with the ball or know they need to call a timeout (or human resources). Then at least something good will come out of my staying up past my bedtime to watch my Heels.

Buhari explains why he won't name his successor in 2023

President Muhammadu Buhari said explained why he won't be naming a successor when his tenure ends in 2023.
Okay.ng learnt that Buhari received members of the Progressive in Academics (Pro-Acad) at the State House on Tuesday.
The group asked the president to begin grooming his successor ahead of his tenure expiration.
Buhari said: "Succession? To me, this is very funny. If I find anybody, I will create more problems for him or her. Let those who want to be president try as much as I did," he said.
"I believe those who are interested need to know that I tried three times and the fourth time, I thank God and technology. Before they announced the result on radio and television, we got the results and those who disagreed were asked to go to court. Most of my supporters are looking for next day's meal, they don't have money to give to lawyers. So I said God dey!
"So, the fourth time because of technology they couldn't rig the elections, so I won. So this time around I tried to work hard. I think you have more to do as intellectuals to make sure you correct Nigeria's intellectual development, it is very important for the next generation.
"A lot of our young people are taking things for granted. Imagine to contest elections three times and ending up in the Supreme Court, it takes a lot of conviction and hard work. But people take things for granted, they say I want to be the president. As if I just to closed my eyes and opened and I got it."
