Justin Bieber was born on 1st March 1994. He was raised in Ontario, Canada and rose to fame after he began posting his performances on YouTube. These videos caught the attention of Scooter Braun, a talent agent and former So So Def marketing executive. Scooter helped him gain an audtions with Usher, who was so impressed that Island/Def Jam signed the then 15 year old Bieber to a recording contract.
His first single to be released in May 2009 was "One Time", which had a music video produced for it and featuring Usher. The song went platinum in both Canada and America. His debut album "My World" only contained 7 songs, which would go on to reach platinum, and was quickly followed with a "second half" that included 10 tracks, "My World 2.0".This follow up had over 8,000 fans pre-orders. The two albums have been combined in some countries and simply titled "My Worlds".
In 2012 he returned with his sophomore studio album "Believe". This featured the hit song "Boyfriend," and included guest appearances from the likes of Ludacris, Nicki Minaj and Drake.
Bieber has received industry awards such as Artist of the Year at both the 2010 American Music Awards and 2012 American Music Awards, and was nominated for the Best New Artist and Best Pop Vocal Album at the 53rd Grammy Awards.
He has been twice named in Forbes magazine's top ten most powerful celebrites in the world.
Fans label themselves "Beliebers", and he has over 60 million Twitter followers.

National Park of American Samoa
Vatia, American Samoa
Web Visit website
The remoteness of national parks is one of their biggest draws, but the National Park of American Samoa takes the cake for the most far-flung destination. It's the only national park in the Southern hemisphere, and is more than 2,500 miles away from Hawaii and nearly 5,000 miles away from the mainland of the U.S. Spread across three different volcanic islands, you won't find the typical national park facilities here. This is a park for true adventurers who want to explore the rugged cliffs, glistening beaches, and coral reefs, most of which are completely undeveloped.
With the islands located just south of the equator, you can visit them at any time of year for warm weather. The days are hot year-round and rain is common, although the wettest season lasts from October to May. For slightly cooler and drier weather, plan your visit for June to September.
The best outdoor activities at this park include nature study of tropical wildlife and coral reef marine habitats, and enjoying the many outstanding islands and sea landscapes.
You'll find unbelievable beaches all over American Samoa. The island of Ofu in particular has extensive stretches of pristine shoreline, and they are the most scenic seascapes in the area. Ofu also has excellent coral reefs and offers the best snorkeling waters in the territory, but they aren't easy to reach and there are no dive centers on the island, so you'll need to bring your own gear.
The park offers a rich birdlife, including sea birds (terns, boobies, frigatebirds, petrels, and shearwaters), migrant shorebirds (even Bristle-thighed Curlews from Alaska), and many birds that live in native rainforests. The forest birds include honeyeaters, tropical doves, and pigeons. Specialties include the easily seen cardinal and wattled honeyeaters, along with the Samoan starling. Pacific pigeons, ground doves, and two species of fruit doves can also be located in the park.
Hiking through American Samoa can bring you through tropical forests or to the summits of volcanic mountains. Any trek through this park is sure to be breathtaking and unlike any other national park in the country, but there are also unique challenges to consider. Some trails pass through private property and while locals are likely to give you permission to pass through, it's considered culturally respectful to ask for permission anyway. Others are closed on Sundays. You can find important details about each individual trail on the national park map.
The vast majority of visitors stay on Tutuila Island, which is also where you'll find the most trails. There are a couple of trails on the islands of Ofu and Ta'ū, but make sure you're prepared to head out with little assistance.
Pola Island Trail: This easy trail on Tutuila Island is short—not even a half-mile—and begins near the village of Vatia. It ends at a rocky beach with sweeping views of the ocean and nearby Pola Island.
Tuafanua Trail: This trail is 2.2 miles roundtrip but it has several switchbacks and a steep descent on a ladder with a rope. It also begins in the village of Vatia and arrives at a hidden coastline after passing through lush rainforests.
Mount 'Alava Trail: One of the most challenging trails in this park, this 7-mile roundtrip trek reaches the summit of Mount 'Alava. You'll see fruit bats, banana and coconut plantations, and panoramic views of the entire island.
Land rights are essential in Samoan culture, and this national park is unique in that the locals lease their private land to the U.S., but the government doesn't own it. That's why there are no lodges or camping allowed inside the park boundaries. However, Samoans are also known for their hospitality and frequently open up their homes to visitors. You can find homestays on all of the islands in American Samoa.
A homestay isn't just about having a bed to sleep in, but it's truly the best way to immerse yourself in the Samoan way of life. A traditional home is called a fale, and you'll learn all about local customs and cuisine. The National Park Service organizes homestays throughout the islands.
If you're looking for a hotel-type lodging, there are only a few options on the main island of Tutuila and even fewer on the other islands. Airbnb options are available, however, and worth checking out.
Tradewinds Hotel: Located near the Pago Pago International Airport on the main island of Tutuila, this is one of the primary hotels in American Samoa. It's conveniently located in the capital city and offers all of the standard amenities like a pool, internet cafe, restaurant, bar, and recreation area.
Vaoto Lodge: This is one of the only hotel options on the island of Ofu, and it's just 10 minutes away by foot from the national park. Getting to Ofu takes some planning, but the Vaoto Lodge is located right next to the small airport.
Getting to this remote park isn't easy, but the landscapes and experience are well worth the journey. The national park is spread across three islands: Tutuila, Ofu, and Ta'ū. Tutuila is the main island of American Samoa and where all visitors coming from abroad will start, while Ofu and Ta'ū—which are collectively referred to as Mau'a—require an additional flight or boat ride.
Tutuila: Pago Pago International Airport is where all flights arrive and visitors coming from the U.S. will have to connect at Honolulu Airport. The International Airport at Upolo in nearby (Western) Samoa—which is its own country—also has several flights weekly from Australia, New Zealand, and Fiji. Connecting flights serve Tutuila from Upolo by small aircraft nearly daily. Buses can bring you to parts of the national park, but renting a car is the easiest way to move around.
Ofu and Ta'ū: Ofu and Ta'ū each has a small airport with flights from Tutuila, although flights don't depart daily so make sure you know the schedule before you get there. There is also a boat that makes the journey, although the ocean is rough and the boat ride takes about five hours. Once you're there, you can reach the national park by bicycle from most parts of the island or hitching a ride.
The national park has very little development and virtually all of the trails are steep, rugged, and unpaved. There is one scenic overlook that's accessible with assistance at the Lower Sauma Ridge on the main island of Tutuila, but visitors with mobility challenges may have difficulty reaching other parts of the park.
Even though American Samoa is a U.S. territory, flights from the U.S. are still considered international and passengers need to bring their passports with them. However, American tourists don't need a visa to enter American Samoa.
The national park doesn't charge any entrance fee.
Sunday is considered a day of rest for Samoans. Not only are stores closed and public transportation not available, but even activities like swimming should be avoided.
If you want to take photos of someone, cross through their land, or use a village beach, always ask permission first even if you don't feel like you're being obtrusive.
Revealing swimwear such as bikinis for women or speedos for men are considered inappropriate, so cover up when you're at the beach.

Don't Think I'm Not
Now, I don't have to question
Where you were last night
'Cause I already know what you will say
I already know you'll lie
But I can't be mad at ya
'Cause there's something that you don't know
That when you're gone I do my own thing
And I catch a bone while you're dogging me
When you're out in the club, don't think I'm not
Even when you're out making love, don't think I'm not
When you're feeling good in somebody's spot, getting hot, don't stop
Just don't think I'm not 'cause I'm out getting mine
When I try to get your attention
You ignore me everytime
You were so caught up doing your dirt
That you didn't notice mine
Well, I couldn't put up with your scheming
And I couldn't put up with your lies
They say two wrongs won't make it right
But it's suiting me just fine
Just don't think I'm not, 'cause I'm out getting mine
Don't be surprised to know that sometimes women play the field
You may not believe it but it's real
The game is so real, so real, so real
Oh, don't think we won't do it, when you're out in the club

Q: Holomorphic sections of holomorphic vector bundles. If $G:E\rightarrow F$ is a holomorphic bundle map over a smooth map $f:M\rightarrow N$ where $M$ and $N$ are two complex manifolds, there is a result that say that every local smooth section can be write as a combination of holomorphic sections. So, if $\{e_i\}$ and $\{f_i\}$ are basis of holomorphic sections of $E$ and $F$ respectively we have, for all$x\in M$, $G(e_j(x))=\alpha^i_j(f_i(f(x)))$ for same functions $\alpha^i_j:M\rightarrow C$.
How can I show that this $\alpha^i_j$ are holomorphic functions?
Thanks for all help me.

A: Let me rewrite your actual question so it makes sense:
Suppose that $\xi: F\to N$ is a holomorphic vector bundle of finite rank $n$. Let $U\subset N$ be an open subset over which the bundle is holomorphically trivial, i.e. the restriction of the sheaf of holomorphic sections of $\xi$ to $U$ is free over the ring of holomorphic functions ${\mathcal O}_U$ with the basis $f_1,...,f_n$. In other words, the restriction $\xi_U$ of $\xi$ to $U$ is (holomorphically) isomorphic to the trivial bundle $U\times {\mathbb C}^n$ where the sections $f_1,...,f_n$ become the maps
$$
w\mapsto (w, \pi_i), i=1,...,n,
$$
where $\pi_i$ is the constant map (identically equal to $1$) to the $i$-factor of ${\mathbb C}^n$.
Suppose that $h$ is a smooth section of $\xi|_U$, i.e. a smooth map
$$
w\mapsto (w, \phi(w))\in U\times {\mathbb C}^n,
$$
i.e. $\phi=(\phi_1,...,\phi_n)$, where $\phi_i$'s are smooth complex-valued functions on $U$. (You are also assuming that $h$ comes from some smooth morphism of holomorphic vector bundles which is an irrelevant piece of information.)
You are then asking if there are smooth complex-valued functions $\alpha_1,...\alpha_n$ on $U$ such that
$$
h(w) =(w, \sum_{i=1}^n \alpha_i(w) \pi_i(w)).
$$
The answer is trivially positive: Take $\alpha_i=\phi_i$, $i=1,...,n$.

faith and life
the chatroom
the stand.
I've had this song--particularly the chorus--in my head for days now (literally, days). But at least it's a good one. And it's a good reminder to step back and just be in awe of everything God's made, sacrificed, and planned for me.
The Stand (Hillsong)
You stood before creation
Eternity within Your hand
You spoke the earth into motion
My soul now to stand
You stood before my failure
Carried the Cross for my shame
My sin weighed upon Your shoulders
So what can I say
But offer this heart O God
Completely to You
So I'll walk upon salvation
Your Spirit alive in me
This life to declare Your promise
So I'll stand
With arms high and heart abandoned
In awe of the One who gave it all
My soul Lord to You surrendered
All I am is Yours
TO THE PRESENT
TO THE PAST

Little House On The Prairie: A Merry Ingalls Christmas arrived on DVD (plus Digital) and Digital HD on November 4th, 2014. The Little House on the Prairie was a classic for the generation before me. I remember falling in love with the show because my mother would watch it. I feel as if it was the first of family sitcom/weekly shows to really make an impact in households. The characters were ones you could relate to in some way and it always left you with the warm and fuzzies at the end.
So when Lionsgate asked me to review another of the series - Little House On The Prairie: A Merry Ingalls Christmas, I was all about it. Lionsgate has completely restored the series in high definition and this includes a special two original broadcast episodes.
"Celebrate the holidays with two classic "Little House" specials. In "Christmas at Plum Creek," the members of the Ingalls family share a heartwarming first Christmas in their new home, and Laura makes a personal sacrifice that captures the meaning of the holidays. In "A Christmas They Never Forgot," the family waits out a snowstorm by remembering favorite Christmases from the past."
Needless to say I was thrilled to hear about the release on DVD and knew it was something I would enjoy sharing with my daughter especially. Filled with wholesome stories and lessons. It felt awesome to watch something like this again especially with the way TV show and movies are nowadays. I have to say we thought all the episode were cute and a great way to spend a few holiday evenings together for a mother/daughter evening! I am also looking forward to sharing this series with the boys.
Giveaway: Lionsgate is going to give one of A Lucky Ladybug's lucky readers a Little House On The Prairie: A Merry Ingalls Christmas DVD of their own!
My favorite gift was a boxed set of the Laura Ingalls Wilder books. It was a great investment for my parents as I read it many times and then read it to my children and gave my daughter her own set. Sadly, she didn't care about it as much as I did but we are just two different people with different likes.


Crossroads are places of decision. Some crossroads are simple; the choice is almost automatic. But other crossroads are life-shaping. At such times we should stand and look, ask and walk, relying on the Lord's counsel.
Are the "ancient paths" the only "good way"? Should we never strike out on a new road? Abraham and Moses, Peter and Paul courageously followed new ways. But choosing the "new way" was still following the God of "ancient paths." The way of "ancient paths" is the life of keeping in tune with our Lord, whose faithfulness stretches back to the very beginning of history.
The Lord adds that in our walking we will find rest. That may seem strange until we see that it is rest for our souls, not our bodies. If there is rest, there must be grace. Crossroads grace.
But there's also a somber note: "You said, 'We will not walk in it.'" Why, when God points the way, would we ever say, "I will not?" How foolish! How graceless! Let's pray today for the wisdom to walk in God's paths.
God of abounding grace, we pray today that at every crossroad, big or small, we will stand, look, ask and find the grace to walk in your good way. Through Jesus Christ, Amen.

Wanted Dead are a fast, loud punk band from Oceanside, CA. They have the overpowering presence and a natural ambience that only Satan himself could posess. Wanted Dead always gets the crowd into a frenzy of blood and sweat with explosive drums, booming bass lines, shredding guitar, and hardcore lyrics that only add fuel to the fire. No pussy shit. See you in the pit mother fuckers! "I first discovered Wanted Dead on the 2001 Warped Tour. They were playing a few dates of the tour around their hometown of San Diego. Ironically, what made them stick out of the heard to me was how much more punk they were than any band I'd seen in a long time, especially on the Warped Tour. Their music reminded me of the first Suicidal Tendencies record, and their attitude was straight out of punk's early eighties too. I made a point to see every set they played, and was part of a growing contingent of Warped Tour people all becoming fans of the band. I haven't seen this kind of spirit in muisc in years and I found myself hanging out in their camp as a source of fun and inspiration." - Bryan "Papillon" Kienlen (The Bouncing Souls)

THE VISITOR EXPERIENCE
Children's Pommern
TALL SHIP POMMERN
Preservation of Pommern
THE ÅLAND MARITIME MUSEUM
Ship's Spaces and Deck Equipment
There are three different decks on Pommern: the weather deck, the tween deck and the cargo hold. The crew lived and worked on the weather deck, with cargo stored on the other two decks. On the weather deck there are also several deckhouses with room for equipment needed for sailing, navigation and other work that was done onboard.
DECKHOUSE
Large Deckhouse
The large deckhouse is located at the fore of the ship and houses the fo'c'sle, galley and steam boiler. Common seamen or able seamen, deckhands, and apprentices lived and slept in the fo'c'sle. The pig pens are located just in front of the large deckhouse.
Small Deckhouse
In the small deckhouse towards the stern you will find the carpenter's workshop, cook's cabin, and the small fo'c'sle. The small fo'c'sle was home to the 'day' sailors who were active only during the day with no night shift responsibilities. Also, the boatswain, sail makers, carpenter, as well as the Donkeyman whose job was to operate the steam boiler and act as the ship's smithy.
Officer's Rooms
Both the captain's living quarters (including bathroom and saloon) and officer's rooms are in the aft of the ship. There were cabins for three mates, a steward and passengers, as well as the officer's mess, sail locker, a pantry, and sick bay. On the Tween Deck beneath the officer's rooms you can find storage for the ship's provisions, and above on the Poop Deck, the navigation cabin.
Navigation Cabin
The Navigation Cabin is on the Poop Deck above the officer's rooms. It contains all the equipment needed for navigation, including sextants, chronometers, as well as navigational charts, logbooks, binoculars, signal flags and other important equipment.
Anchor and Windlass
There are two anchors on Pommern, each weighing 2.5 tons with an anchor chain that is 150 m long. When the ship was out at sea both anchors were fastened to the deck. As the ship got closer to land, they would hang on the outside of the gunwale. Raising the anchor was hard work so the crew would attach a cable to the windlass and pull anchor with the help of the donkey boiler.
There are several different types of winches onboard Pommern. The steam driven winches assisted in loading and unloading cargo. There are two halyard winches, six deck winches, and three brace winches. The brace winch, also known as a Jarvis winch, was patented in 1892 by J.C. Jarvis and was one of the last important improvements for square rigged sailing, allowing three yards to be swung simultaneously. This resulted in fewer crew being needed, a cost saving for ship owners.
The Capstan
The capstan is a manual winch which is connected to the anchor via a shaft to help with raising and lowering the anchor. There are several capstans onboard.
The Hot Bulb Engine
This one-cylinder engine, installed in the 1920s, was used to assist with loading and unloading cargo. In the 1930s it was even used to help raise the anchor.
The bilge pump was used to remove water from the cargo hold. It could be operated by hand or connected to the boiler with chain cables. There is also the only pump for the freshwater cistern, holing about 27 tons.
The Ship's Bells
There are two bells onboard. The large ship's bell is in the fore of the ship. It was used to communicate with the officer standing at rear of the ship, where the small bell is located.
Freshwater Tanks
In the cargo hold there are water tanks which were filled before a journey. Fresh water was strictly rationed to ensure it lasted a whole voyage.
The Donkey Boiler
The steam boiler or donkey boiler was used to load and unload cargo as well as for the windlass and bilge pump. It wasn't used to propel the ship.
Compass and Binnacle
The compass is on the poop deck on top of a binnacle, a case or stand to hold navigational equipment. The brass dome on the compass contained an oil lamp lit during the night. The binnacle has two anti-magnetic rods on each side to ensure the compass remains true.
Loading Hatches
There are four cargo loading hatches on the weather deck through which cargo was loaded and unloaded.

Feature Story | Argonne National Laboratory
Argonne team unravels mysteries of carbon release in permafrost soils
Mary Fitzpatrick
Like detectives, Argonne scientists are studying clues from the release of carbon in thawing permafrost regions, piecing the clues together to create detailed maps to predict the impact of rising global temperatures on future greenhouse gas emissions.
(Image by Shutterstock/Adwo.)
Webster's Dictionary defines a vicious cycle as "a reciprocal cause and effect in which two or more elements intensify and aggravate each other, worsening the situation."
The release of carbon from thawing soils in permafrost regions represents just such a cycle.
"Overall, this new picture of how the vast amounts of organic carbon stored in permafrost-affected soils are distributed across much of the world's coldest land areas will help to improve the ability of Earth system models to predict the impact of rising global temperatures on future emissions of greenhouse gases from these rapidly changing regions." — Julie Jastrow, terrestrial ecologist
Permafrost-affected soils — where subsurface temperatures remain below freezing for two or more consecutive years — contain vast amounts of organic carbon that decompose and enter the atmosphere. The rate of such release has accelerated with climate change as the regions rapidly grow warmer and surface soils thaw to greater depths in summer. The release of stored carbon as greenhouse gases (e.g., carbon dioxide and methane) into the atmosphere causes further warming and more carbon emissions.
To help understand the cycle, scientists need to carefully examine the potential for these carbon stocks to speed global warming rates by measuring how much of the greenhouse gases are emitted from decomposing permafrost carbon. A team of researchers led by Julie Jastrow and Roser Matamala, terrestrial ecologists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory, is contributing to that effort through an integrated set of research approaches.
Their work, recently published in Science Advances, focused on quantifying how much carbon is stored in permafrost-affected soils and, more specifically, where it is stored in the soil layers.
Because soils hold more than two-thirds of the Earth's terrestrial carbon pool — more than twice the amount of carbon present in the atmosphere — they play a significant role in the global carbon cycle. Much of the carbon in soils is organic matter formed as dead plant materials decompose and microbial debris accumulates over periods ranging from decades to thousands of years.
The team employed big data — a huge volume of data that grows with time — and geospatial analysis methods to develop the first high-resolution maps of soil carbon storage and distribution at multiple depths for permafrost regions in the Northern hemisphere.
Like detectives, geospatial analysts gather and pick through a mountain of data that are sorted geographically, finding the most relevant data and using visualization and statistical techniques to identify and analyze trends. The team also identified which environmental conditions — such as temperature, precipitation, topography or vegetation — best predict soil carbon quantities in permafrost regions.
Their detective work provides a baseline that is critical to scientists who develop the Earth system models used to predict the amount and type of greenhouse gas emissions released as permafrost-affected soils begin to thaw.
Soils in permafrost regions retain more organic carbon than in other regions as surface organic materials mix into deeper layers due to frequent freezing and thawing cycles — a process called cryoturbation — and repeated burial of accumulated peat deposits by wind- and water-transported sediments. Additional climatic factors help reduce decomposition rates and preserve large stocks of organic carbon in these soil systems over long periods.
In the rarified air present at high latitudes and altitudes, where most permafrost-affected soils occur, climate extremes lead to greater temperature increases than in other parts of the world. Permafrost is already warming, thawing and disappearing from some portions of these cold regions, but the progressive rate of permafrost loss predicted by future climate warming scenarios could release substantial additional greenhouse gases to the atmosphere before and beyond the end of this century.

The carbon mapping study — led by Umakant Mishra, an Argonne geospatial scientist now with Sandia National Laboratories — also included numerous collaborators associated with the Permafrost Carbon Network. This international team gathered data quantifying carbon in soil samples collected from more than 2,500 different locations across the northern circumpolar, or Arctic permafrost region, and in almost 200 locations across the Tibetan Plateau — the largest high-altitude permafrost region at lower latitudes.
Measurements of soil organic carbon used to produce earlier circumpolar estimates were combined with large amounts of new soil data contributed by scientists from Canada, Russia, South Korea and Sweden. The data were organized by depth — 0 to 1, 1 to 2, and 2 to 3 meters — to calculate profiles of soil organic carbon stocks at each sampled location. These collaborative efforts increased sample numbers by 42 percent — to 69 percent — compared with previous studies, depending on depth.
The team then compiled newly available high-resolution maps of environmental factors that influence soil formation and scaled them to a uniform resolution of 250 square meters. Correlating these relationships with the environmental maps, they generated estimates of soil organic stocks for both the northern circumpolar and Tibetan permafrost regions.
One important finding suggests that more carbon occurs closer to the surface — within a meter — than scientists previously believed, making more of the region's carbon vulnerable to thawing, decomposition and release as global air temperatures rise, potentially feeding the warming cycle.

The researchers found that the distribution of carbon stocks in both permafrost regions depends on complex relationships among multiple environmental factors. Temperature, precipitation, topographic properties and vegetation type were significant predictors of carbon stocks. The analysis also pinpointed topography as a major factor in prediction uncertainties; this information can be used to prioritize where additional samples of soil carbon profiles are most needed.
"Overall, this new picture of how the vast amounts of organic carbon stored in permafrost-affected soils are distributed across much of the world's coldest land areas will help to improve the ability of Earth system models to predict the impact of rising global temperatures on future emissions of greenhouse gases from these rapidly changing regions," said Jastrow.
The study is described in Mishra, U., et al. "Spatial heterogeneity and environmental predictors of permafrost region soil organic carbon stocks," Science Advances 7, eaaz5236 (2021). [DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.aaz5236].

Ibadan poly students worried over cult attack at matriculation
Students of the Polytechnic Ibadan have expressed their displeasure over the current issue that rocked the institution during its 2017/2018 matriculation,.
Several distressed students who spoke to the NATION urged the school management to intervene into the matter as they no longer felt safe on campus.
I Have Informed Buhari Of My Intention To Run For President -Tinubu (video)
The cult attack reportedly escalated when rival gang groups resulted to the use of axes to settle their disputes. It went a notch higher after other groups joined in the fray, sporadically shooting several bullets into the air to scare students away.

Thomas Samuel, a student of the Polytechnic said, "the fight started through an argument. I was about going to take pictures with someone when I heard some persons arguing, and before I knew it, I saw two of those guys running and they came back with two different axes in their hands, threatening to kill themselves. It was after this that another party came and they started shooting sporadically into the air and people ran helter-skelter for their life."
Recounting the incident, Samuel reiterated that he was still in shock at the turn of events.
"I was shocked when I heard the sound of gunshot because that would be my first time witnessing that kind of scenario."

Speaking with a matriculated student, who pleaded anonymity, she said " I never expected this kind of stage drama. The school is not even safe for us as students."
"Yesterday was supposed to be a day of joy for me but it ended up been a day when I can never forget. The management should be able to bring those responsible to book so that they can be used as an example to others who are also threading this path."
Another student, Daniel James, said: " The school security is nothing to write home about. How will the school security whom do not have a cutlass not to talk of having a gun face hoodlums who are armed? The school should be able to do the needful so that the varsity can be peaceful as we now live in fear."
Reacting to this, the Public Relation Officer of the Varsity, Mr Sholadoye Fawole, has said the Institution cannot take any step as they are yet to ascertain the identities of the perpetrators as either students or not. He however assured the Students that investigations are currently ongoing.
"Though investigations are ongoing, what we need now is for them to be unmasked so that we can know the next step," Fawole stated.
Transfurd recognised by WORLDCOB
"We never expected such to happen as we all know that yesterday was for the matriculation ceremony and the school is open for everybody to access where the family of those been matriculated are present but we know we only matriculated the ND1 and the HND1," he said.
"We are working on the security as we have had meetings with the Rector and the Chief Security Officer. I want the students to know that we can't allow police officers to come into the school anyhow if they are uncalled for because they would overdo what you called them for. We can't build police stations inside the school because we don't want what happened in UI to happen in our school when the Commissioner of Police together with the past Student Union Government burnt down a mobile police station in front of the University of Ibadan."
"The School security and the Police are working tirelessly to fish out those who have done the evil and we will make sure that the right punishment is been given to them."
"I urge all students to stay at alert and be ready to report anything to the right quarters as we will be very glad to do needful as its our right to fight against cultism in our environment." he added

Q: Convert data.frame column to a vector? I have a dataframe such as:
a1 = c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
a2 = c(6, 7, 8, 9, 10)
a3 = c(11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
aframe = data.frame(a1, a2, a3)

I tried the following to convert one of the columns to a vector, but it doesn't work:
avector <- as.vector(aframe['a2'])
class(avector)
[1] "data.frame"

This is the only solution I could come up with, but I'm assuming there has to be a better way to do this:
class(aframe['a2'])
[1] "data.frame"
avector = c()
for(atmp in aframe['a2']) { avector <- atmp }
class(avector)
[1] "numeric"

Note: My vocabulary above may be off, so please correct me if so.  I'm still learning the world of R.  Additionally, any explanation of what's going on here is appreciated (i.e. relating to Python or some other language would help!)

A: There's now an easy way to do this using dplyr.
dplyr::pull(aframe, a2)

A: a1 = c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
a2 = c(6, 7, 8, 9, 10)
a3 = c(11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
aframe = data.frame(a1, a2, a3)
avector <- as.vector(aframe['a2'])

avector<-unlist(avector)
#this will return a vector of type "integer"

A: If you just use the extract operator it will work.  By default, [] sets option drop=TRUE, which is what you want here.  See ?'[' for more details.
>  a1 = c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
>  a2 = c(6, 7, 8, 9, 10)
>  a3 = c(11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
>  aframe = data.frame(a1, a2, a3)
> aframe[,'a2']
[1]  6  7  8  9 10
> class(aframe[,'a2'])
[1] "numeric"

A: You could use $ extraction:
class(aframe$a1)
[1] "numeric"

or the double square bracket:
class(aframe[["a1"]])
[1] "numeric"

A: I'm going to attempt to explain this without making any mistakes, but I'm betting this will attract a clarification or two in the comments.
A data frame is a list. When you subset a data frame using the name of a column and [, what you're getting is a sublist (or a sub data frame). If you want the actual atomic column, you could use [[, or somewhat confusingly (to me) you could do aframe[,2] which returns a vector, not a sublist.
So try running this sequence and maybe things will be clearer:
avector <- as.vector(aframe['a2'])
class(avector)

avector <- aframe[['a2']]
class(avector)

avector <- aframe[,2]
class(avector)

A: You do not need as.vector(), but you do need correct indexing: avector <- aframe[ , "a2"]
The one other thing to be aware of is the drop=FALSE option to [:
R> aframe <- data.frame(a1=c1:5, a2=6:10, a3=11:15)
R> aframe
  a1 a2 a3
1  1  6 11
2  2  7 12
3  3  8 13
4  4  9 14
5  5 10 15
R> avector <- aframe[, "a2"]
R> avector
[1]  6  7  8  9 10
R> avector <- aframe[, "a2", drop=FALSE]
R> avector
  a2
1  6
2  7
3  8
4  9
5 10
R>

A: I use lists to filter dataframes by whether or not they have a value %in% a list.
I had been manually creating lists by exporting a 1 column dataframe to Excel where I would add " ", around each element, before pasting into R: list <- c("el1", "el2", ...) which was usually followed by FilteredData <- subset(Data, Column %in% list).
After searching stackoverflow and not finding an intuitive way to convert a 1 column dataframe into a list, I am now posting my first ever stackoverflow contribution:
# assuming you have a 1 column dataframe called "df"
list <- c()
for(i in 1:nrow(df)){
  list <- append(list, df[i,1])
}
View(list)
# This list is not a dataframe, it is a list of values
# You can filter a dataframe using "subset([Data], [Column] %in% list")

A: We can also convert data.frame columns generically to a simple vector. as.vector is not enough as it retains the data.frame class and structure, so we also have to pull out the first (and only) element:
df_column_object <- aframe[,2]
simple_column <- df_column_object[[1]]

All the solutions suggested so far require hardcoding column titles. This makes them non-generic (imagine applying this to function arguments).
Alternatively, you could, of course read the column names from the column first and then insert them in the code in the other solutions.

A: You can try something like this-
as.vector(unlist(aframe$a2))

A: Another advantage of using the '[[' operator is that it works both with data.frame and data.table. So if the function has to be made running for both data.frame and data.table, and you want to extract a column from it as a vector then
data[["column_name"]]

is best.

A: as.vector(unlist(aframe['a2']))

A: Another option is using as.matrix with as.vector. This can be done for one column but is also possible if you want to convert all columns to one vector. Here is a reproducible example with first converting one column to a vector and second convert complete dataframe to one vector:
a1 = c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
a2 = c(6, 7, 8, 9, 10)
a3 = c(11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
aframe = data.frame(a1, a2, a3)

# Convert one column to vector
avector <- as.vector(as.matrix(aframe[,"a2"]))
class(avector)
#> [1] "numeric"
avector
#> [1]  6  7  8  9 10

# Convert all columns to one vector
avector <- as.vector(as.matrix(aframe))
class(avector)
#> [1] "numeric"
avector
#>  [1]  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9 10 11 12 13 14 15

20 Huge TV Shows That Got Cut Over Controversies
By Michael Gordon
The TV industry is a cutthroat business. During the 2019/20 season, a massive 48.4 percent of new broadcast television shows were canceled within their first season. However, established shows are often in danger of getting the chop too, especially if their ratings drop or, even worse, they become associated with a scandal. Here are 20 shows that were canceled due to controversies.
20. The Wonder Years
The Wonder Years, a coming-of-age comedy drama set in the late '60s and early '70s, ran from 1988 until 1993 on ABC. It has gone down in history as a beloved classic and star Fred Savage is indelibly etched in the public consciousness as teenage lead Kevin Arnold. When the show was canceled, the Los Angeles Times reported that the ballooning budget caused the network to pull the plug.
However, in 2018 actress Alley Mills, who played Savage's mother, Norma, claimed that the real reason for the cancellation was a sexual harassment lawsuit levelled against Savage and co-star Jason Hervey. A costume designer alleged that 16-year-old Savage and 20-year-old Hervey verbally and physically harassed her and it led to her firing. The case was settled out of court, with Mills labelling it a "big joke" and "ridiculous."
19. Man Finds Food
Presenter and competitive eater Adam Richman hosted Man v. Food on the Travel Channel for four seasons between 2008 and 2012. The show would see him attempt a seemingly impossible eating challenge in every episode. Over the course of the show, he put on weight and suffered from depression. By 2015, though, Richman had lost 70 pounds and posted a picture of himself on Instagram, alongside the caption "Thinspiration."
This caused an outcry, as that term is usually associated with eating disorders. When fans and viewers let Richman know about his unintentional insensitivity, his responses were unexpectedly vitriolic. As a result, his next show Man Finds Food was postponed indefinitely.
18. The Dana Carvey Show
Dana Carvey is best known for his portrayal of loveably dim-witted metalhead Garth in the Wayne's World movies. But, in 1996, the Saturday Night Live alum got his own sketch show on ABC, The Dana Carvey Show. Incredibly, it only lasted seven episodes before being pulled from the air, with one of its sketches causing particular controversy.
The very first sketch in the very first episode featured Carvey as then-President Bill Clinton breastfeeding a baby, a kitten, and puppies, complete with a surgically-attached hen's posterior in order to provide warmth to hatching eggs. It was utterly bizarre and caused ABC consternation. It even made Taco Bell revoke its sponsorship. In 2017, Carvey said that he felt it was amazing the show even lasted six more episodes after such an incendiary debut.
17. Lethal Weapon
Lethal Weapon was a 2016 television version of the classic Mel Gibson/Danny Glover action-comedy movie franchise. It starred Clayne Crawford and Damon Wayans as mismatched buddy cops Riggs and Murtaugh and was a hit for its first two seasons. Between seasons two and three, though, Crawford was fired and American Pie star Seann William Scott stepped into the fray to partner Wayans for season three.
Deadline reported Crawford had a history of bad behavior on-set, which reportedly escalated to co-stars being uncomfortable around him. He was accused of emotional abuse and creating a hostile working environment. Then, only a few weeks after season three started shooting, Wayans announced he would be leaving, citing exhaustion due to his age and status as a diabetic. By this point the show's ratings had dipped, so Fox made the decision to cancel the troubled production.
16. Made By Maddie
Animated show Made By Maddie was supposed to debut on September 13, 2020 on Nick Jr. However, after a social media plagiarism controversy reared its head, the show was pulled while the network looked into the matter. The furore emerged after the trailer hit the web and the show's creators were accused of ripping off Matthew A. Cherry's Academy Award-winning animated short Hair Love.
As noted by angry social media users, the character designs for eight-year-old Maddie and her parents were uncomfortably similar to those of the family in Hair Love. Silvergate Media, who made the show, claimed they started working on it in 2015, two years before Cherry raised Kickstarter funds to produce Hair Love. Silvergate's CEO released a statement saying, "our hope is that when people watch our show, they will see it is its own story."
15. Cops
In June 2020, in the midst of the social upheaval surrounding the death of George Floyd at the hands of police officers, the Paramount Network canceled Cops after 32 seasons. A long-running television institution, the reality show gave viewers a look at real police officers arresting real criminals. However, over the years it had increasingly courted controversy, with many believing it glorified police brutality against minorities.
The civil rights organization Color of Change, which had previously campaigned for the show to be axed in 2013, backed the decision on social media. Arisha Michelle, its vice-president, wrote, "Crime TV plays a significant role in advancing distorted representations of crime, justice, race and gender within culture. Cops led the way, pushing troubling implications for generations of viewers."
14. Sorority Sisters
Sorority Sisters was a short-lived reality show that debuted in December 2014. It followed nine women who were part of historically black college sororities in Atlanta. The online backlash was instantaneous, with many social media users feeling the show made a mockery of Greek sorority organizations with rich histories. The Twitter hashtag "#BoycottSororitySisters" quickly trended.
As one angry Twitter user wrote, "Profane language, scantily clad women, screaming and fighting is the antithesis of sorority values." Soon, lucrative sponsors such as McDonald's, Victoria's Secret, the NBA, Hallmark, and Ford began pulling their advertising campaigns from airing during the show. An online petition to cancel the show even received 78,000 signatures. In the end, VH1 simply didn't bring the controversial show back.
13. Politically Incorrect
Late-night talk show host Bill Maher found himself in the middle of a maelstrom of controversy in 2001 when he made some questionable comments on his show Politically Incorrect. Less than a week after the devastating 9/11 terrorist attacks, Maher took issue with then-President Bush's labelling of the terrorists as "cowards." Instead, he pointed the finger of cowardice at the U.S. military.
"We have been the cowards," said Maher, "lobbing cruise missiles from 2,000 miles away. That's cowardly. Staying in the airplane when it hits the building, say what you want about it, it's not cowardly." Unsurprisingly, these comments didn't go over well, despite Maher using his next episode to clarify his intention and apologize. The show was subsequently suspended and then eventually canceled.
12. The Playboy Club
In 2011 NBC made a play for the audience that loved AMC's '60s-set drama Mad Men. They hoped that The Playboy Club, which told the story of the employees of the first Playboy nightclub in the 1960s, would attract some of the same audience. Unfortunately, the project was surrounded by controversy before it even aired, and it wound up canceled after only three episodes.
Despite being a network show with content that would be deemed tame in comparison with a cable counterpart like Mad Men, it was targeted by outraged conservative group the Parents Television Council. Their belief was that the show glorified a pornographic brand that demeaned women. In the end, with fairly low ratings also being a concern, NBC pulled the plug.
11. Profit
Profit, a pitch-black satirical drama about a sociopathic corporate businessman played by Adrian Pasdar, aired on Fox in 1996 and lasted a mere five episodes before being canceled. Shocked viewers complained to their local Fox network affiliates about protagonist Jim Profit's actions, with some calling him "Satan in a suit." Corporate America was also angry, with many high-flying individuals feeling the show cast them in a terrible light.
However, in subsequent years, the show has enjoyed a critical reappraisal, with many outlets believing it was simply ahead of its time. Not too long after it aired, edgy shows featuring amoral main characters became extremely popular and contributed to what has been called the golden age of TV. Perhaps Profit sank so that shows like The Sopranos, Breaking Bad, Dexter and The Shield could swim.
10. Grace Under Fire
Sitcom Grace Under Fire was a substantial hit in the '90s, running for five seasons between 1993 and 1998. Lead actress Brett Butler became a star playing Grace Kelly, a single mother raising her three children after leaving her abusive husband. However, in real life Butler was suffering from a drug addiction that caused her to act erratically. In fact, her behavior led to several production delays while she sought rehabilitation.
Unsavoury incidents involving Butler included when she allegedly exposed her breasts to young actor Jon Paul Steuer, who played one of her sons on the show. Julia White, who played Butler's best friend on the show, left after season four and publicly said Butler was her reason for leaving. In the end, with controversy always swirling around their lead, the network cut the cord in 1998.
9. Buckwild
Described by some observers as "The Jersey Shore of Appalachia," Buckwild was a short-lived reality show that aired in 2013. It followed the lives of nine young people in Charleston and Sissonville, West Virginia. The show was a hit and was renewed for a second season in February 2013. However, when cast member Shain Gandee tragically died in April from carbon monoxide poisoning following an off-roading accident, MTV quickly canceled it.
MTV's statement said they couldn't see how the show could continue without Gandee, its breakout star. But producer J.P. Williams railed against this, telling The Hollywood Reporter, "This is the network that has shows about teen pregnancy. They'll stick by a show that allows you to abandon a child, but a kid dies by accident doing what he does for a living and they cancel the show?"
8. All My Babies' Mamas
Shawty Lo, a founding member of southern hip hop group D4L, was supposed to have his own reality show in 2013 on the Oxygen Channel. It was to be called All My Babies' Mamas and would give viewers a glimpse into his unorthodox life as a father to 11 children, from 10 different women. However, the pilot episode was leaked online and following a huge backlash, Oxygen canceled the show before the first episode even aired.
The show was viewed as a glamourization of premarital sex with multiple partners and many were also outraged at it playing into unfair stereotypes about black families. Shawty Lo gave his opinion on the matter to MTV News. He said, "You can hate all you want, I didn't ask for it." He added, "If I wasn't taking care of my kids then you would really dog me out, but I'm taking care of my kids, providing for my family."
7. Extreme Makeover
Reality show Extreme Makeover debuted on ABC in 2002 and lasted four seasons before it was canceled in 2007. Ordinary people underwent makeovers on the show, which often included plastic surgery. When a candidate named Deleese Williams was preparing to undergo surgery, her sister Kellie McGee said negative things about her appearance. Williams' reaction to these comments was caught on camera.
However, McGee would claim she had been manipulated by the producers into making the comments and she felt tremendous guilt about it. Ultimately, Williams' surgery was canceled and she subsequently sued the producers. She alleged that her sister's sense of guilt made her take her own life only four months later. The lawsuit was settled out of court, but the scandal contributed to low ratings and the show's eventual cancelation.
6. GCB
In 2012 ABC began airing a new comedy drama series entitled GCB, which stood for "Good Christian Bitches." Based on the 2008 novel by Kim Gatlin, it told the story of a former high school queen bee who returns to her hometown to mend fences with the women she once tormented. It was canceled after a first season of 10 episodes which drew the ire of Christian organizations.
The American Family Association launched a petition against the show, saying that it mocked Christians. Peter Vallone Jr, a New York City councilor, encouraged a boycott and said the show was, "yet another outrageous attack on the Christian faith." For what it's worth, star Kristen Chenoweth, an evangelical Christian herself, said this was not an accurate representation of the show. "I certainly wouldn't do anything that would make fun of my own faith," she said.
5. Heathers
This television reboot of the classic 1988 high school black comedy film was a strange case in the TV landscape. A full 10 episode first season was produced by the Paramount Network and they were happy from a creative standpoint. In fact, a second season was already being written. But then a school shooting in Parkland, Florida in 2018 left 17 dead and the network decided it would be inappropriate to air the show, which dealt satirically with some very controversial themes.
Keith Cox, president of development and production at Paramount, told The Hollywood Reporter, "This is a high school show, we're blowing up the school, there are guns in the school, it's a satire and there are moments of teachers having guns." He added, "The combination of a high school show with these very dark moments just didn't feel right." In the end, Heathers never aired in the U.S. but did show in certain European markets.
4. Luck
Luck seemed like a home run for HBO when it debuted in January 2012. It had incredible pedigree in front of and behind the camera. The star was Hollywood icon Dustin Hoffman, the creator was Deadwood's David Milch and legendary Heat director Michael Mann helmed the pilot. The show was even initially renewed for season two. But, only two months later, it was canceled in the middle of the first season.
The axe was ultimately brought down due to the tragic deaths of three horses during the production of season one. PETA criticized the production heavily, publicizing the fact that they had looked at necropsy reports and found, "One of the horses had been pumped full of painkilling drugs, another one was old and arthritic." HBO pulled the plug, stating they couldn't ensure accidents wouldn't happen again in the future.
3. Confederate
HBO also courted controversy in 2017 when it was announced that David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, the showrunners of the massively successful Game Of Thrones, were writing a new show for the cable network. It was entitled Confederate and was set in an alternate future in which the South won the Civil War; meaning slavery was legal. The backlash was immediate, with critics worrying that the show would be a rallying cry for white supremacists.
Author Roxanne Gay dubbed the proposed show, "slavery fan fiction" and writer Ta-Nehisi Coates wrote, "African Americans do not need science fiction, or really any fiction, to tell them that this 'history is still with us.'" When it was announced in 2019 that Benioff and Weiss had signed a lucrative deal with Netflix, it was reported that Confederate wasn't happening anymore. It was then officially canceled in January 2020.
2. Kid Nation
Kid Nation aired for one season in 2007 and was a lightning rod for controversy. It was a reality show in which 40 children, aged between eight and 15, were tasked with building their own society at an abandoned movie set in the desert. Stuck halfway between a reality show and a social experiment, the show came under fire for the dangers it posed to the children.
The children's contracts stated they had to be available 24 hours a day for filming, which contravened child labor laws. Parents had to sign a waiver that removed responsibility from CBS if the children injured themselves or even died. As it was, during production one child accidentally drank bleach and another burned her face with grease. In a wise move, CBS decided not to make a second season.
1. Megan Wants A Millionaire
The cancelation of Megan Wants A Millionaire, a VH1 reality show, was precipitated by a truly harrowing murder. On August 19, 2009 the show was taken off the air when it was announced that Ryan Jenkins, a contestant vying for the heart of Rock Of Love star Megan Hauserman, was wanted for the murder of his wife Jasmine Fiore. Police believed he had fled to Canada to avoid questioning.
Fiore's body was found in Buena Park, California. She had been strangled, beaten and crammed into a suitcase. Jenkins was the only suspect. Four days later, he was found dead in a hotel room in British Colombia. He had committed suicide. The day after, VH1 canceled both Megan Wants A Millionaire and the third season of I Love Money, as Jenkins was also reportedly a contestant on that show.

A fabled garden, a much-coveted key, the hushed overtones of wealth–Gramercy Park is the Victorian fairy-tale Manhattan can't quite shrug. As the borough's sole remaining private park (keys are bestowed to residents of the park's 39 surrounding townhouses and buildings), its carefully manicured exclusivity has long exerted a mighty pull on the city's chosen few, drawing everyone from Oscar Wilde to Humphrey Bogart.
Despite the numerous insurgencies mounted by Gramercy keyholder O. Aldon James, the bow-tied, pink-bespectacled eccentric president of the National Arts Club (most famously a civil-rights lawsuit set in motion when a park trustee called the police on 40 mostly minority students from neighboring Washington Irving High School, who Mr. James had brought in for a field trip), the forbidden Eden is unlikely to be democratized anytime soon, remaining, like many beautiful things in Manhattan, rich and mostly empty.

Reach Out For The Truth In Persona 4: Dancing All Night's Exciting Opening
June 25, 2015 June 26, 2015 Hank
We couldn't stop it, just set it free and DANCE!
Henry Gilbert here again, host of Cape Crisis, co-head of the Laser Time Patreon, and the site's leading Persona fan. In general I'm a big fan of any quality JRPG, but this Shin Megami Tensei spin-off has become my favorite series currently going. The dungeon crawling, demanding battles, and empathetic writing all make it tops, and Persona's music is some of the best in the genre. Hell, I loved it so much I did a whole podcast on the subject. In fact, Persona 4's music is so great that a Vita exclusive spin-off is coming this year.
Co-developed with the folks behind the Hatsune Miku games, Persona 4: Dancing All Night has the team of teen investigators return to the Midnight Channel to save a poor lost soul, and this time they're going save the day via DANCE. The game won't be out in America till late September – there's even a Disco Fever Special Edition – but the Japanese opening appeared on YouTube today. It's so full of energy, thanks to a hardy remix of the soundtrack, that I simply had to share it below!
Jeez, I had no idea someone in a bear suit could be that graceful. As long as I'm on the subject of dancing mascots, check out how well Teddie/Kuma looks in his trailer. He's truly the Disco King.
