Buhari administration requires N4.1t for a start, says Oyegun
By Tony Akowe On May 24, 2015
Oyegun
• Hints Senators may be asked to pass bills at short notice
The Muhammadu Buhari-led administration will require a minimum of N4.1 trillion to get the country going when it takes over power on Friday, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief John Odigie- Oyegun, said yesterday.
The amount is for sundry expenses, including oil subsidy payment, arrears of salaries at federal and state levels and debt servicing.
Oyegun, speaking in Abuja at the opening of a retreat for APC Senators-elect, said the N4.1 trillion, was "against the background of the falling oil prices, the unprecedented $60-billion-dollar debt which the outgoing government has left for the incoming one, the largely depleted Excess Crude Account (ECA), the 60 billion dollars that have been lost in the last four years to crude oil theft (and which are perhaps still being lost as we speak), the need to rapidly create jobs for our teeming army of unemployed youths, enhance the security of the citizenry and improve the economy."
He said the present economic situation in the country requires "unparalleled commitment, uncommon patriotism, unprecedented hard work and indeed a reservoir of the innermost strength," from the government and the governed.
He said the situation also means that the Senators-elect "may, in the course of their duty be required to pass important bills at short notice," during what he said would be one of the most challenging periods in the history of our nation.
His words:"Make no mistake about it. The days ahead will be tough, and this is not crying wolf. From the first day of this government, a total of 4.1 trillion Naira will be required for sundry expenses, including oil subsidy payment, arrears of salaries at federal and state levels and debt servicing, just to mention a few.
"This is not a lamentation forum but still, we must tell ourselves the truth about the state of the nation and the expectations of our people. In fact, to a number of our compatriots, by May 30th, a day after the swearing in of our President-elect, all the streets in Nigeria will be air conditioned, while electricity will become stable and fuel scarcity will be a thing of the past.
"Yes, we will get there but it won't happen overnight. You, our Senators-elect, will be called upon to take extraordinary actions to address the extraordinary challenges that confront our nation.
"The incoming President, more than anyone else, needs the support and cooperation of the 8th National Assembly to fulfill his campaign promise to Nigerians.
"You may be required to pass important bills at very short notices. This will not be unprecedented, but will require a buy-in to the programmes of the President and the party and willingness to work with him and the party for the benefit of all Nigerians. The demands on you will be tasking but you are up to the task!"
He solicited the support of the senators-elect for the executive arm as "all eyes will be on our party – and by extension on all of you – to see if our government will walk its talk in terms of running a lean and effective government, one that eschews waste, corruption and indiscipline, and one that will harness the nation's human, material and natural resources for the well being of the people."
But he warned that "there is no magic wand to make our economy better overnight," adding: "against the realities on the ground, some of which I listed earlier, reviving our economy will be a long and tortuous process.
"Bold decisions will need to be taken and this can only be possible if there is a synergy among our party, the National Assembly and the President. We know you will not fail us, and you will not fail Nigerians."
Drawing a parallel between Nigeria's situation and the response of the Nobel Laureate for Physics, Dr. Albert Einstein, to a question posed to him in 1921, Odigie-Oyegun said: "He was asked: 'Dr. Einstein, why is it that when the mind of man has stretched so far as to discover the structure of the atom, we have been unable to devise the political means to keep the atom from destroying us?'

"His answer: 'That is simple, my friend. It is because politics is more difficult than physics.' Now that you know the nobility of the calling in which you have found yourselves, I am sure you will not hesitate to show that politicians too can solve problems."
Also addressing the forum, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar said the real battle to change Nigeria, as canvassed by APC during the last electioneering campaigns, "is only about to begin."
"We have a lot of work to do and we must start immediately."
He gave three conditions required for the party to succeed.
These, according to him, are: "the Party, the Legislature and the Executive must work in concert rather than see one another as a competitor or rival.
"Lawmaking for the overall good of our country requires that the Legislature, including the Senate, has the autonomy to discharge its legislative and oversight functions
"For these to happen and be sustained, internal party democracy and electoral reforms are necessary to ensure that the people's will always finds expression in governance."
Another party leader, Chief Audu Ogbe, said that for 30 years, the nation sat back and watched as the system decayed.
But he was optimistic that the problems at hand are not beyond resolution.
He said: "Politically, we are making progress, our democracy is growing. A sitting government is being replaced by an opposition government in Africa where such changes are rarely tolerated. It is indeed a fact for which Nigeria deserves commendation and from which we should derive self satisfaction.
"After all, this year, 2015 was predicted to be our year of extinction. For this achievement, we have God in heaven to thank and on earth, President Goodluck Jonathan.
"It took courage to do what he did. Having arrived on the scene, we must now examine the terrain and the climate of the transition.
"We can, without hesitation, say the climate is economically inclement and socially delicate. This period is going to be one of the most delicate in recent history.
"Never have our people been more hopeful, more excited about good times to come, yet never has our economy been so fragile. Never have expectations been so high, yet reality so scary and cloudy.
"Oil revenue are low, our foreign reserves dwindling, power supply is nowhere near stable, despite unbelievable investment figures in the sector. Gas pipelines keep getting blown so the repair contracts can keep flowing.
"We have new figures for our GDP placing us at the top of the league in Africa, but we are soon to become the greatest contributor to world poverty. In another four years, especially in the north and by 2050, just 35 years from now, we will be the world's third most populous nation with a population of 450 million."

Hi, my name is Andy. I have a friend called Terry. We live in a tree. Well, when I say 'tree', I mean treehouse. And when I say 'treehouse', I don't mean any old treehouse—I mean a 13-storey treehouse! So what are you waiting for? Come on up! ~ It's got a bowling alley, a see-through swimming pool, a tank full of man-eating sharks, vines you can swing on, a games room, a secret underground laboratory, a lemonade fountain, a vegetable vaporiser and a marshmallow machine that follows you around and automatically shoots marshmallows into your mouth whenever you're hungry. ~ As well as being our home, the treehouse is also where we make books together. I write the words and terry draws the pictures. We also have a neighbour called Jill who lives in a house full of animals on the other side of the forest. ~ Living in a treehouse isn't always easy, but one thing is for sure... It's never dull!

International Competition for a Ħaġar Qim and Mnajdra Heritage Park.
A detailed updated report on the Project for a Heritage Park and the Development Plan was sent to the World Heritage Centre on 29 January 2005.
This report indicates that extensive security measures were put in place in 2001. The State Party is pleased to report that since then there have been no instances of vandalism to the Megalithic Temples. No illegal building works affecting the Temples or the Park have taken place since 2001. The apparent discrepancy here is attributable to the fact that the comments reported to the Committee in 2004 referred to the Ġgantija Temple on the Island of Gozo, whilst the Archaeological Park is confined to the Hagar Qim and Mnajdra Temples.
The report recapitulates the details of the proposed Park, presented to the Committee at its 28th session (Suzhou, 2004). These are updated by a report on the International Design Competition held in 2004 (won by Walter Hunziker of Berne, Switzerland). The original design brief was amended following examination by the Technical Committee and the Competition Jury. A visitor survey and a feasibility study have been undertaken, providing further information on the present and anticipated visitor needs at the property. A single building to welcome visitors to the property is now being projected, instead of the two buildings in different parts of the landscape originally indicated in the competition design brief. The visitor centre is being proposed at the property indicated by the Jury as the ideal location, namely, the existing parking area. The scale of visitor facilities being projected has been reduced significantly.
The decision to shelter Hagar Qim and Mnajdra was adopted by the State Party on the recommendations made by the Scientific Committee for the Conservation of the Megalithic Temples in 2000, and is fully endorsed by ICOMOS Malta. Studies by the Scientific Committee came to the conclusion that protective sheltering would significantly mitigate the deterioration processes that are presently threatening the monuments, and that sheltering is presently the best and safest medium-term option, while research continues on alternative treatments in the longer term. The protective shelters are designed as a temporary measure with a lifetime of 30 years, with minimal impact on the ground, and can be completely removed. The visual intrusion caused by the shelters is considered justified by (i) the fulfilment of the responsibility to pass on the monuments to future generations and (ii) its reversibility. The shelters are being planned in the context of an intensive environmental programme to monitor their performance and to allow comparison with the situation before their installation.
High priority is being given to the development of Management Plans. Heritage Malta is working with English Heritage and the Wiltshire County Council (UK) as part of the Centurio Project co-funded by the Interreg IIIC Programme of the European Union. Four seminars were held in October 2004; participants included planners, heritage managers, archaeologists and other key stakeholders. A strategy being developed to allow the six Megalithic properties, which vary considerably in extent, preservation, setting, management context, etc, to be covered by a single Management Plan. In addition to general conservation issues, other issues that are being dealt with on a property-specific basis include visitor flow and carrying capacity; documentation, landscape management, etc.
Considerable progress has been made over the past year in the complex process of drafting a Management Plan for six properties (seven Megalithic Temples) that differ considerably in a number of aspects.
6. Further requests the State Party to provide the World Heritage Centre with a detailed report on the Megalithic Temples, including information about illegal structures close to the Ggantija Temple on Gozo by 1 February 2007 for examination by the Committee at its 31st session (2007).

Here are the main characters in my biology class, my lab group. There's ME. The main character because I bothered to write about it. If you want to be the main character, either do something phenomenal in front of me (phenomenal can encompass stupidity, mercy, brilliance,hillarity or just catching my attention. By the way I saw a little person yesterday. I did not stare.), or else write your own essay.
So there's me. Then there's LaShandra. LaShandra is smart, she's an easy laugh and she appreciates my strange humor. She's black, well, more like caramel colored, but you know, she's ethnically black. Which isn't the same as African American, in my book. Or in my essay anyway. She's got a young son. That's about all I know aboutLaShandra. I like her.
If you remember valley-girl talk, you know what Ebony talks like. Ebony, by the way,is heavy-set and white. Isn't that mean? The white part I mean. To name your white baby Ebony.
Then there's Aniso. Aniso is tall, thin and beautiful. She's Somali. Her head-scarf (tied behind her head) and full length skirts area always coordinated and flattering. It isn't hard I imagine, to find flattering outfits. She has a fabulous figure with long legs and the most callipyginous shape. It's either a common figure trait in the Somalis or their skirts and scarves play some trick on the eye. Can I acknowledge that without seeming deviant?
Aniso is smart. Really smart. She's totally interested in the class and it's being taught in her second language. She's writing and reading tests in her second (probably third) language. She's serious and usually only laughs to be polite.
So that's the cast of characters. Well that and the professor. The professor isn't the greatest. Imagine some child you know. Then imagine them much bigger, with facial hair. My professor looks just like an older version of my little neighbor Sammy, who is 4. Somehow, at the same time as he looks like my 4 year old neighbor, he also looks like he is just killing time until he's a shambling old man. He looks like it wasn't part of his plan to be 30, which I think he is. He has a baby face, but an old man's mannerisms.
We had to pick a subject to do a group project and here's how the discussion went. LaShandra thought Albinism would be a good subject to study, and she has cousins who are Albino, so she could hook us up with good resources. Ebony's dog just had puppies, so she thought we could do a project about dog breeds.
We ended up doing Albinism.
I'm taking a class in writing. It's very Jungian. And at this point, I think Jung is jungk. It's pretty. It's poetic and allegorical, but it seems like mysticism, which I find interesting, but rarely helpful. Watch this space for evidence that I am "writing through my shadow". Or not.
Oh I'm no fun at all. I'm a sceptic.
But I'm very in touch with my inner voice, I can say that much. Sometimes I am too in touch with it.
"A doctor. She's a doctor. I should have been a doctor. Why couldn't I have my act together enough to be a doctor? Having you around will surely make me feel like a loser. Get thee gone, doctor." Probably I could never be a doctor because of all the space in my head being taken up with running monologue.
"neck-brace-can't-turn-his-head-whiplash-car-accident-insurance-settlement-either-in-pain-or running-a-scam-either-way-not-my-kind-of-people" how mean of me. I try not to listen to that voice.
"A writer, eh? Please, oh please don't make me listen while you read out loud. Writers are so smug. Ick." This is both self-loathing and stupid. Nonetheless, it pops out.
A lot of times my inner voice is wrong. But it never shuts up. I usually try to tune it out, but we both know that it gets through despite my best intentions (see blogs about race). I think my inner voice is what some people think of as their devil on their shoulder or better yet, their shadow.
Back to the writing class. It was taught by a a woman I can only describ as a plus-sized, dramatic lesbian motivational speaker from the butch-intellectual-spiritual-guide synod. Really interesting to listen to and watch. And she was primed to dip us into the waters of our true self and universal wholeness. I should be more grateful.
"Namaste" Pretty much only Indian people can say namaste without gagging me.
"I'm so totally serious. My shadow is totally threatened by this class." This, from a lovely freckel-faced mother of two in a baseball cap.
"The shadow always brings a gift" This from my dynamic teacher.
I know you'll be amazed at this: Sometime during the course of the class, some people did have relationship trouble. Some had work trouble; some had both. Coincidence? If that makes you feel better, fine. But the shadow knows the truth. And just try to shut it up.
Isn't it fabulously exciting that we can know things? We can learn things? Aren't we privileged? What a wonderful thing! I'm in school, so is my dad. I forgot how much I like school. How fun it is to learn stuff and talk to people about stuff they know. I feel so very lucky to be able to go back to school.
I'm not poor, I'm not in a war-torn country, my children and husband are healthy. I've been going to bed lately feeling very, very grateful to be me, to be here and to be now. Not proud to be me, American and modern. Because I think of proud as something you earn. I'm blessed.
Isn't it great we can know joy and ease after traipsing through tension and unhappiness? that we can be content and untroubled after surviving terrible things? What a comfort to know we can feel alive after being knocked to the ground by sadness and badness.
What a rare gift to see someone you love really change for the better. It doesn't happen to everyone. Too, too many people die without knowing much contentment. Die before they figure things out. Die still slogging, carrying burdens or being chased by demons. It's a huge thing to love someone and see them get what they need.
I'm in no position to tell someone else to be grateful in the face of such a loss. But I have seen people I love make changes for the better, and people I love slog through their own morass. The latter is so much more common than the former. And the former is such a sweet gift.
Isn't it strange what a huge gift it is when people you love are whole and happy? Not perfect and totally fulfilled by every moment. Just able to laugh really, and not be broken or fraying or hungry all the time. What a wonderful thing.

John Katko, was added to ALIPAC's Illegal Alien Amnesty Supporters List on May 15, 2015.
Representative John Katko, voted for amnesty for illegal aliens when he was one of only 20 Republicans to vote with 182 of Obama's democrats to keep a form of amnesty for illegal aliens in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) on May 14, 2015 according to Roll Call Magazine.
Luckily, Representative Mo Brooks's (R-AL) amendment that stripped the amnesty provision out of the NDAA prevailed over this lawmaker and his Democrat allies by a vote of 221-202 and the provision that would have allowed illegal aliens to join the US military was removed. Illegal aliens should not be allowed into the US military especially when they are about to lay off 80,000 American members of the military. Current US laws prohibit illegals from joining the military because such actions would encourage more illegal immigration, compromise the security of US armed forces and weapons technologies and tactics.
John Katko, did more than announce support for immigration reform amnesty legislation, he actually voted to fund Obama's clearly illegal, unpopular, and unconstitutional amnesty directives!
While most of the people in New York voted for John Katko thought he was elected to serve the citizens of America. He actually voted in service to illegal immigrants and those that employ them, when he voted to pass a clean DHS funding bill to fund Obama's amnesty plans!
John Katko voted to fund the Obama immigration orders that 26 states are suing to stop and that Federal judge Andrew Hanen has ordered Obama to stop implementing!
If the DHS clean funding bill had not passed, or had passed with stipulations that Obama could not use the money to give illegal aliens Executive Amnesty, the Obama administration would have stopped giving illegals amnesty instead of being responsible for the shutdown of DHS!
Unfortunately, lawmakers like John Katko, Mitch McConnell, John Boehner, and 100 others found on The Cantor List have been negotiating and working with the Obama administration behind the scenes to support amnesty for illegals while lying to their constituents claiming they are "against amnesty"!
Please contact Representative John Katko, let him know that you stand with the large majority of Americans who oppose any form of amnesty for illegals, and you plan to seek his removal from office in the next election due to his support for amnesty for illegals which encourages even more illegal immigration into America!
Please contact John Katko to share your disdain for his support for amnesty for illegal aliens and let him know you plan to throw him out of office in future elections!

Before you convince yourself that you're too busy to mediate, consider this: "Adding mediation to your daily fitness routine can be a crucial part of body transformation," says Mark Fisher, founder of Mark Fisher Fitness in NYC. Find five to 10 minutes once or twice a day to focus on your breath, he suggests. "Taking the time to do this can help your body and brain de-stress and recover better from all your hard work at the gym and the office."
For this comprehensive narrative review, we evaluated both nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive interventions. Nutrition-specific approaches are those that address the immediate determinants of nutrition (e.g., food and nutrient intake, diet-related practices and behaviors, disease, etc.), whereas nutrition-sensitive approaches are those that address the underlying determinants of nutrition (e.g., food security, access to resources, safe and hygienic environments, adequate health services, etc.) (5, 12). We evaluated the following nutrition-specific interventions described by Bhutta et al. (13, 14): nutrition counseling and education, micronutrient supplementation and fortification, protein and energy supplementation, and lipid-based supplementation. We also included the following nutrition-sensitive approaches described by Ruel and Alderman (5) and Bhutta et al. (14): health care; family planning; water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH); empowerment; income-generation; education; and social protection. For each intervention, we 1) described the scale and coverage of the intervention, when available; 2) summarized the evidence of effectiveness for women's health and nutrition outcomes; and 3) described and evaluated the target population and delivery platforms, as described in the published articles and as summarized in Table 1. The delivery of interventions included the physical platforms, as well as the adherence and the implementation challenges of the different interventions.
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death (30%) amongst women in the United States, and the leading cause of chronic disease amongst them, affecting nearly 40% (Gronowski and Schindler, Tables I and IV).[6][7][119] The onset occurs at a later age in women than in men. For instance the incidence of stroke in women under the age of 80 is less than that in men, but higher in those aged over 80. Overall the lifetime risk of stroke in women exceeds that in men.[27][28] The risk of cardiovascular disease amongst those with diabetes and amongst smokers is also higher in women than in men.[6] Many aspects of cardiovascular disease vary between women and men, including risk factors, prevalence, physiology, symptoms, response to intervention and outcome.[119]
Second, the scope of nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive approaches was largely focused on undernutrition. There were major research and programming gaps in studies targeting overweight, obesity, and noncommunicable disease. In our review, the interventions addressing overweight, obesity, and noncommunicable disease were limited to nutrition education and integrated healthcare. However, overweight and obesity were identified as potential concerns for interventions targeting undernutrition, including food supplementation, and in-kind and cash transfers. This might be a result of the types of interventions that were evaluated, but also speaks to the need to broaden the scope of nutrition interventions that are commonly assessed (5, 13, 14) to explicitly address overweight, obesity, and noncommunicable disease as nutrition outcomes, and not just as unintended consequences. Globally, there is limited evidence of large-scale interventions that effectively prevent, treat, or correctly classify adiposity-related noncommunicable diseases, and this is a growing area of concern around the world (208). Future evaluations of nutrition interventions might also include interventions that influence women's time and physical environment, and that encourage physical activity or change in access to and affordability of certain foods, as these might also influence overweight, obesity, and noncommunicable disease outcomes for women.
Before and during pregnancy. You need more of certain nutrients than usual to support your health and your baby's development. These nutrients include protein, calcium, iron, and folic acid. Many doctors recommend prenatal vitamins or a folic acid supplement during this time. Many health insurance plans also cover folic acid supplements prescribed by your doctor during pregnancy. You also need to avoid some foods, such as certain kinds of fish. Learn more about healthy eating during pregnancy in our Pregnancy section.
Of the few studies evaluating nutrition education interventions for women and adolescent girls who were overweight and obese, many were "facility-based" and involved delivery platforms such as health clinics (13, 22), worksites (30), and schools (26, 27, 29). Delivery platforms targeting women and adolescents who were undernourished similarly involved facility-based settings (13), but also included community outreach (16, 28), home visits, community kitchens (15, 28), and text messaging platforms (32). Such community-based platforms could provide additional opportunities for the delivery of nutrition education interventions addressing overweight, obesity, and associated noncommunicable disease in the future.
If you count calories, count fat calories, too. Food labels indicate how many calories come from fat, both in actual grams and in percentages. This helps you assess the percentage of fat in your diet. If the total number of fat calories is 30 percent or more of the total calories you consume in a day, you probably need to cut back. But don't be misled by terms like "lower fat." Ask yourself "lower than what?" and look at the overall percentage of fat calories in the food.
The major differences in life expectancy for women between developed and developing countries lie in the childbearing years. If a woman survives this period, the differences between the two regions become less marked, since in later life non-communicable diseases (NCDs) become the major causes of death in women throughout the world, with cardiovascular deaths accounting for 45% of deaths in older women, followed by cancer (15%) and lung disease (10%). These create additional burdens on the resources of developing countries. Changing lifestyles, including diet, physical activity and cultural factors that favour larger body size in women, are contributing to an increasing problem with obesity and diabetes amongst women in these countries and increasing the risks of cardiovascular disease and other NCDs.[11][20]
If motivation is your hang-up, change your exercise routine every 14 days. A University of Florida study discovered that people who modified their workouts twice a month were more likely than to stick to their plans compared to those who changed their regimens whenever they wanted to. Boredom didn't appear to be a factor; it seems people simply enjoyed the variety more.
No matter how busy you are, eat lunch before 3 p.m., a Spanish study suggests. Researchers placed a group of women on a diet for 20 weeks; half ate lunch before 3 and half consumed their midday meal after 3. Although both groups' daily caloric intake, time spent exercising and sleeping, and appetite hormone levels were the same, those who lunched late lost about 25 percent less weight than earlier eaters. Being European, lunch was the biggest meal of the day for these women, constituting 40 percent of their calories for the day, so consider slimming down dinner in addition to watching the clock.

Healthy eating is a way of eating that improves your health and helps prevent disease. It means choosing different types of healthy food from all of the food groups (fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy, and proteins), most of the time, in the correct amounts for you. Healthy eating also means not eating a lot of foods with added sugar, sodium (salt), and saturated and trans fats.
The guidelines also establish ranges (called acceptable macronutrient distribution ranges or AMDR) for fat, carbohydrates and protein, instead of exact percentages of calories or numbers of grams. The report maintains that since all three categories serve as sources of energy, they can, to some extent, substitute for one another in providing calories.
During adolescence and early adulthood, women need to consume foods rich in calcium to build peak (maximum) bone mass. This will reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis, a progressive condition where there is a loss of bone that leaves those affected more susceptible to fractures. Women also need an adequate iron intake because they lose iron through menstruation. Women also need an adequate intake of calories to support energy and nutritional needs in order for the body to function properly. The amount of calories that an individual needs varies for each person and is based on age, gender and activity level. As a general recommendation, women between 23 and 50 years of age generally need between 1,700 and 2,200 calories per day to maintain their current energy needs and body weight. Older women generally require fewer calories to support and sustain energy needs. Consuming fewer than 1,500 calories per day, even in attempts to lose weight, can put women at nutritional risk and can result in malnutrition and poor health. For more information on how to calculate one's nutritional needs, go to www.choosemyplate.gov and insert your personal information. The 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans is another reference or guide to assist you in learning to eat a balanced and nutritious diet for good health.
Equally challenging for women are the physiological and emotional changes associated with the cessation of menses (menopause or climacteric). While typically occurring gradually towards the end of the fifth decade in life marked by irregular bleeding the cessation of ovulation and menstruation is accompanied by marked changes in hormonal activity, both by the ovary itself (oestrogen and progesterone) and the pituitary gland (follicle stimulating hormone or FSH and luteinizing hormone or LH). These hormonal changes may be associated with both systemic sensations such as hot flashes and local changes to the reproductive tract such as reduced vaginal secretions and lubrication. While menopause may bring relief from symptoms of menstruation and fear of pregnancy it may also be accompanied by emotional and psychological changes associated with the symbolism of the loss of fertility and a reminder of aging and possible loss of desirability. While menopause generally occurs naturally as a physiological process it may occur earlier (premature menopause) as a result of disease or from medical or surgical intervention. When menopause occurs prematurely the adverse consequences may be more severe.[114][115]
Research is a priority in terms of improving women's health. Research needs include diseases unique to women, more serious in women and those that differ in risk factors between women and men. The balance of gender in research studies needs to be balanced appropriately to allow analysis that will detect interactions between gender and other factors.[6] Gronowski and Schindler suggest that scientific journals make documentation of gender a requirement when reporting the results of animal studies, and that funding agencies require justification from investigators for any gender inequity in their grant proposals, giving preference to those that are inclusive. They also suggest it is the role of health organisations to encourage women to enroll in clinical research. However, there has been progress in terms of large scale studies such as the WHI, and in 2006 the Society for Women's Health Research founded the Organization for the Study of Sex Differences (OSSD) and the journal Biology of Sex Differences to further the study of sex differences.[6]
Notice that alcohol isn't included in a food group. If you drink alcohol, do so in moderation, up to one drink per day for women and two drinks per day for men. Alcohol offers little nutritional value, and when used in excess, can cause short-term health damage, such as distorted vision, judgment, hearing and coordination; emotional changes; bad breath; and hangovers. Long-term effects may include liver and stomach damage, vitamin deficiencies, impotence, heart and central nervous system damage and memory loss. Abuse can lead to alcohol poisoning, coma and death. Pregnant women should not drink at all because alcohol can harm the developing fetus and infant. According to the March of Dimes, more than 40,000 babies are born each year with alcohol-related damage. Even light and moderate drinking during pregnancy can hurt your baby. If you are breastfeeding, discuss drinking alcohol with your health care professional. After clearing it with your doctor, you may be able to have an occasional celebratory single, small alcoholic drink, but you should abstain from breastfeeding for two hours after that drink.
Studies link high sodium intake to higher blood pressure, and evidence suggests that many people at risk for high blood pressure can reduce their risk by consuming less salt or sodium, as well as following a healthy diet. Most Americans consume more sodium than they need. The recommended amount is less than 2,300 mg per day for children and adults to age 50. The limit drops to 1,500 mg per day for those 51 and older or those of any age who are African American or have hypertension, diabetes or chronic kidney disease. You get 2,300 mg in just one teaspoon of salt. One good way to reduce your sodium intake is to eat fewer prepared and packaged foods.
Fluids: Fluid needs increase as women age. The reason: Kidneys become less efficient at removing toxins. "Drinking more fluids helps kidneys do their job," Schwartz says. "Unfortunately, thirst signals often become impaired with age, so people are less likely to drink enough water and other fluids." Rather than fret about how many glasses to drink, Frechman says, check the color of your urine. "It should be clear or very pale colored. If it becomes darker, you need more fluid."
Downloading that new weight-loss app may not be as beneficial as you think. A study published in American Journal of Preventive Medicine rated the top 30 weight-loss apps using criteria set by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Diabetes Prevention Plan, which consists of 20 behavior-based strategies, including willpower control, problem solving, stress reduction, motivation, and relapse prevention. Twenty-eight of the programs offered 25 percent or fewer of these essential tummy-trimming tactics. If you're into tech, use your apps to log food and share your progress on social networks, but don't rely on either too heavily to make lasting lifestyle changes.

I Caught The Bouquet At A Gay Wedding
Jul 11, 2010Breaking Newzzz
I actually did catch the bouquet from my friend Annie at her wedding. Uh, oh. What does that mean?
It is not often that I go to a gay wedding…you can count them on one hand. Not that there's anything wrong with it. The idea of gay marriage resonates more for the gay community at large than for me, though I support it wholeheartedly. Just not sure whether it is something for everyone. Not being a bigot here, I believe the same holds true for straight marriage as well. All that aside, my friends Annie Washburn and Emily Giske tied the knot yesterday in the loveliest setting on Cape Cod…Provincetown to be exact…duh. But it was moving and sweet, and having been the one to introduce them, it was a touching culmination of two ships passing in the night…only to end up docked at the harbor of P-Town.
Anyway, if you know me at all, you know what a cynic I am about these things. A year ago I wrote a piece, I Mean…Gay Marriage?!?:
It's time for me to chime in on this gay marriage issue. Clearly I am not an opponent nor am I a proponent either. I'm from the school of "live and let live", so if two gay people want to get married…by all means, make it legal in every state, you have my blessing. I think you're nuts…but go right ahead. The notion of marriage has always seems a bit archaic to me, straight, gay or otherwise. Monogamy is a challenging notion that defies gravity: that which is forbidden becomes obsession. Yes, there are those lovely exceptions; couples that are perfect for each other…harmonious…the ideal couple. I've seen that maybe twice. Other than that, it's "Relationships are tough, I feel trapped" or "What an asshole" and "Not tonight, I'm not in the mood" as a rule of thumb. I should know, I survived an eleven year relationship.
I went to my first gay wedding in California in 1999. It was a gorgeous affair in Montecito (where Oprah now has a house) attended by the couple's 100 closest friends in a grand, Spanish-style mansion built in the 1920's. We all stood in a large circle on the sprawling grounds as the couple went around in the circle, "honoring" each and every one of us for sharing in this momentous occasion. I attended my first gay divorce, six months later to the day. Same house, less lavish affair. I knew then that gay marriage was a sham just like straight marriages, except for those rare exceptions like Ellen and Portia or Elton and David (and now Annie and Emily).

Museum officials decry city's 10 per cent funding cut
By: Jen Skerritt
Posted: 01/15/2013 1:00 AM	| Last Modified: 01/15/2013 11:09 AM	| Updates	| Comments:
WINNIPEG museums are decrying the city's plan to cut their funding by 10 per cent.
Last week, city politicians tabled the city's $920-million operating budget, the plan that outlines how much Winnipeg will spend on everything from police to insect control in 2013. The budget included a 3.87 per cent property-tax hike and a plan to find $13.6 million in savings by delaying filling vacant positions and reducing grants to non-profit groups by $358,000.
WAYNE GLOWACKI/WINNIPEG FREE PRESS Diane Doth of the Manitoba Children's Museum told a council committee she didn't expect cuts because of the property-tax hike.
Those non-profit groups include museums, which will all see their funding reduced by 10 per cent. The St. Boniface Museum will see its annual city funding drop from $450,000 to $400,000, the Transcona Museum will receive $139,500 instead of $155,000 and the Western Canada Aviation Museum will see its funding decline from $55,000 to $49,500.
On Monday, Manitoba Children's Museum executive director Diane Doth told council's protection and community services she was surprised by the city's decision to cut their capital and operating funding by $21,000. Doth said she initially thought the cut was a mistake, as the city will see increased revenue this year from the property-tax hike.
She asked the city to reinstate the funding, and said the museum may not be able to continue some programs for inner-city youth and schools without it.
"I couldn't believe it. I honestly thought it was not real," Doth said.
City of Winnipeg Museums Board chairman William Dowie said the arbitrary cuts to museums will have a "huge impact" and could result in the loss of services to the public, including reduced operating hours and staff.
"It's a very small amount for the city but it's a large effect," he said.
Mynarski Coun. Ross Eadie introduced a motion for the city to spend slightly more than $123,000 to restore museum funding to 2012 levels, saying Winnipeg could take the money from the proposed hike to councillors' discretionary ward budgets. The idea failed to pass a vote by council's protection and community services committee.
Coun. Jenny Gerbasi (Fort Rouge) has expressed concern the city plans to cut funding to museums, non-profits and community groups — including the poverty-reduction strategy — and at the same time, increase councillors' discretionary ward budgets by $40,000.

Earlier studies have shown that bone marrow-derived mononuclear cell(BM-MNC)implantation induces therapeutic angiogenesis in patients with peripheral arterial disease(PAD). However, the invasiveness of bone marrow collection limits clinical application of BM-MNC implantation.We performed peripheral blood-derived mononuclear cell(PB-MNC)implantation in ischemic limbs of five patients with PAD. After implantation, clinical symptoms such as rest pain and numbness were relieved in four patients. Maximal walking distance markedly increased from 160 m to 915 m in one patient. Non-healing ulcers were cured after repeated cell implantation in one patient with Burger disease. There was no adverse event. These findings suggest that PB-MNC implantation is a safe and noninvasive strategy for therapeutic angiogenesis for the treatment of severe PAD.

The Ever-Changing Definition of "A New Normal" and How Spring Break Has Shaped It
Anvi Fenn
Almost exactly a year ago, a newly discovered virus quickly infected the world and started a global pandemic. While flowers were blooming and Hunterdon Central, along with hundreds of thousands of other schools in the U.S., was getting ready for spring break, masks and social distancing rules were implemented, traveling out of the country was prohibited, and the nation was stuck at home in quarantine. Every in-person event imaginable was canceled and there was no information or hope about what was going to happen next or how we would ever recover.
Now, 13 months later, spring break season is back in full swing. With the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines steadily increasing every day, it has been tempting, and even in some situations deemed safe by health professionals, to finally reunite with family members and finally start getting back to normal.
This year, the CDC is hoping that with a repeat of their holiday guidelines against travel, they will be able to keep outbreaks contained, "CDC recommends that people not travel at this time, and delay spring break travel until 2022," a CDC spokesperson told The Washington Post. There have been many stricter rules implemented this year. A limit on group gatherings, restrictions at hotels, restaurants, and bars, and masks are (in most states) mandated when going anywhere. At least 67 colleges, from huge state schools to smaller private schools and Ivys, have changed their spring break schedules, eliminating the week-long time off to help reduce the spread.
On a more personal note, I have also noticed a drastic change in the way my own school community at Central has handled the second pandemic spring break differently than the first. Last year, I was not able to see any of my friends and the big trip I had been planning with my family for months had to be canceled at the last minute. It was a small price to pay for the well-being of everyone around me, but was still really disappointing at first. It was a mundane spring break for us all, especially being in only the second month of a seemingly never-ending quarantine. It wasn't really a week that we could use to relax or take time off because of all of the stress involved in just functioning during a completely new situation. No one had experienced anything remotely close to this before 2020, so it was almost as if the whole world was holding its breath and spring break was pretty much forgotten as soon as it was over.
It seems as though the world has finally exhaled, however, and this year it was as if we were finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. With vaccines rolling out and school back in person for four days a week, I think almost everyone–including my family–felt at least a little bit more relaxed about the situation we have been in for a year now. We finally got to go on a long-awaited and highly anticipated vacation now that tests are much more accessible and my parents are vaccinated (still, of course, quarantining when we returned).
This is not to say that the pandemic is resolved by any means. Because it isn't. Cases are still much higher here than almost anywhere else, and it is imperative to the well-being of everyone to stay as safe as possible, now more than ever. I think more than anything this spring break felt like we were finally adapting to the world in our current situation, no matter how unfortunate it may be at times. Life will continue to be hard for the remaining time of the pandemic, but having a much more normal, carefree spring break gave me hope for the future.

Q: Mode value with multiple different inputs - select maximum please I have df as follow:
Column Value1 Value2 Value3 Value4 Value5  Mode
first  1      1      2      1      NaN     1
second NaN    NaN    2      2      2       2
third  NaN    NaN    NaN    2      1       1

If I use df.mode(), then in the last row I will get 1, which is minimum from 1 and 2. What is the best way to get max value in case I have different values in the row and therefore there is no mode value?
Thanks

A: mode returns a DataFrame with all modes, you can apply max to get the max value:
df['Mode'] = df.filter(like='Value').mode(axis=1).max(axis=1)

output:
   Column  Value1  Value2  Value3  Value4  Value5  Mode
0   first     1.0     1.0     2.0       1     NaN   1.0
1  second     NaN     NaN     2.0       2     2.0   2.0
2   third     NaN     NaN     NaN       2     1.0   2.0

Q: Developing GUI application for CLI Ubuntu Server I need to be able to render my own GUI to the screen, but I'm not really sure how to do this considering I'm in a CLI environment.  I don't want to install Ubuntu-desktop or anything, I don't need an entire desktop, just the ability to render directly to the screen.
I've read a bit about X.  I assume I need to make something that implements it.  Are there references that explain this?  I'm assuming a low level language (e.g. C) will be necessary, but obviously I'd feel more comfortable if it was a higher level language required (e.g. Python).
Please let me know, I can't seem to find anything on Google.  I don't think I'm searching for the right thing, perhaps I just need refined search terms.
What I'm developing is an application that I want to install on a single board computer.  The computer would only be used for the purpose of this application, so I don't want to waste resources loading ubuntu-desktop or gnome just so that I can render my application.  I really just don't want the extra overhead.  Let me know if that changes anything.

A: If you want to do full-screen applications with no windows involved and use Python over C, you have several options:
Game engines: For example the SDL library. Python bindings exist here.
SDL applications run on top of X, wayland, framebuffer, SVGALib and much more. It will give you full-screen graphics and for a SOC you will only need a frame-buffer-device, e.g. when you see the Linux mascot during boot, you are already there. However, if you have some advanced GUI like a modern car cockpit in mind, it might involve OpenGL for anti-aliasing. For an ATM (automatic teller machine) like GUI it will miss the standard buttons and boxes which you would have to implement yourself. Many SDL games in the ubuntu repositiories can be recompiled to run under a framebuffer.
Linux installers: The debian-installer uses the gtk+ toolkit on top of a framebuffer device, no X involved. You will have all Gtk+ widgets at your command, and good text rendering with pango, modern graphics with anti-aliasing with cairo. Python bindings exist. The OpenSuse distribution has a similar installer on top of QT.
Text mode graphics (TUI): If you have only text output with a few buttons to render, consider using the ncurses library. It will allow you a textual user interface with a high-level API. midnight-commander is a good example. Python bindings exist.
Commercial biddings: If this is a professional project, employing other commercial toolkits and realtime operating systems is an option. See also this  and similar tagged questions, even without linux at Stack Overflow.

A: Most users who don't install GUIs don't want to run GUI applications. There are many options for installing a GUI on a server and some of them are quite lightweight. You do not need a whole desktop environment to use the X window system. Installing X11 and a window manager, or possibly even a lightweight desktop environment, will probably do what you need.
If you've considered that (including the part about CLI users wanting to run CLI programs), you probably have a remarkable, unique set of circumstances for wanting to do this. If you expand your question to explain them, you might get more useful answers.
If you really do want to reinvent the lightbulb and reimplement your own GUI, aquaherd's comment (which I'm hoping will become an answer soon) explains the basics of how.

We often need to tar all the files under a directory into a zip file. This post gives two examples to show how to tar all the contents under a directory into a tgz file.
By running the following command, we can tar all the files of my_folder into the tgz file.
However, you will find that you actually include the my_folder in the zip file. The structure of the tgz file will looks like this.
cd my_folder tar -zcvf ../my_folder.tgz . cd .. or cd my_folder/ && tar -zcvf ../my_folder.tgz . && cd ..
cd my_folder/ && tar -zcvf ../my_folder.tgz . && cd ..

Inventions by WOMEN
1. The Computer Algorithm – Ada Lovelace is essentially the first computer programmer due to her work with Charles Babbage at the University of London in 1842. In fact her notes were an essential key to helping Alan Turing's work on the first modern computers in the 1940s.
2. The Ice Cream Maker – was invented by a woman named Nancy Johnson in 1843. Her patented design is still used today!
3. The Modern Paper Bag – Margaret Knight invented a machine that makes square bottomed paper bags in 1871. She almost didn't get credit when Charles Anan tried to steal her work claiming that it wasn't possible for a woman to create this brilliant invention. Margaret also invented a safety device for cotton mills when she was 12… that invention is still being used today.
4. The Life Raft – this life saving craft was invented by Maria Beasley in 1882 who also invented a machine that makes barrels.
5. The Dishwasher – was invented by Josephine Cochrane in 1887. Before her time, she marketed her machine to hotel owners and even opened her own factory without the help of a man!
6. The Fire Escape was invented by Anna Connelly in 1887.
7. The Car Heater – we all owe our thanks to Margaret A Wilcox who invented the car heater in 1893, she also invented a combined clothes and dishwasher.
8. an improved Medical Syringe – an improved rectal syringe which allowed one-handed application was invented by a woman by the name of Letitia Geer in 1899.
9. Monopoly – this popular board game was designed by Elizabeth Magie in 1904, originally called the Landlord's Game. The purpose of this game was to expose the injustices of unchecked capitalism. Her game was ripped off by Charles Darrow who sold it to Parker Brother's 30 years later. However, Parker Brothers later paid Elizabeth $500 for her game!
10. The Electric Refrigerator – was invented by Florence Parpart in 1914, she also invented an improved street cleaning machine!
11. Central Heating – although Alice Parker's invention in 1919 of a gas powered central heater was never manufactured, her idea was the first that allowed for using natural gas to heat a home, inspiring the central heating systems used today.
12. Residential Solar Heating – was invented by Dr. Maria Telkes in 1947. Dr. Telkes was a Psychiatrist in addition to being a Solar-Power Pioneer.
13. the Computer Compiler Software – Dr. Grace Murray Hopper was a computer scientist who put together the compiler that eventually became COBOL which is the first user-friendly business computer software system in the 1940's. She was also a rear admiral in the U.S. navy and the first person to use the term "bug" in reference to a glitch in a computer system when she literally found a bug (moth) causing problems with her computer.
14. Wireless Transmission Technology – Hedy Lamarr, a world-famous film star invented a secret communications system during World War II for radio-controlling torpedoes. This technology also paved the way for everything from Wi-Fi to GPS.
15. Kevlar – this life-saving material is 5 times stronger than steel and is used to make bulletproof vests was invented in 1965 by Stephanie Kwolek.
16. Closed-Circuit Television Security (CCTV) – Marie Van Brittan Brown invented CCTV because of the slow response of police officers in 1969 to help people ensure their own security. This invention influenced modern CCTV systems used for home security and police work today.
17. Telecommunications Technology – Some of the TT developed by Dr Shirley Jackson includes the portable fax, touch tone telephone, solar cells, fibreoptic cables, and the technology behind caller ID and call waiting.

You are very right, Val. We should understand that we are no longer in the time of the caves of primitive humanity !! 😉

So basically all the important stuff then!
I am still hoping for a better mammogram, I think the current one we have was designed by a man.
definitely, it's agonising and I honestly think could trigger cancer coz it's unnatural and so painful … beauty of a double mastectomy is no more mammograms and no more bras 🙂
Heart to Heart says:
Oh wow! That's a long list of achievements! A good reminder 🤗
gulfcoastpoet@gmail.com says:
Kate, thanks for posting this. We just watched a documentary about the Curies and their work with radium. Marie and her husband both had to fight to have her recognized along with him for their joint discoveries! Cheryl
Nobody talks about it because they don't want to give women any credit!
The XIXth century has been very creative and we can see in this the women influence.

Stage Door: Entertainments For All Ages
Traditional shows, Cirque du Soleil and openings at Know and Cincy Shakes
By Rick Pender on Fri, Mar 30, 2012 at 11:47 am
Thanks to spot-on casting of the four actors who bring Kim Rosenstock's new play Tigers Be Still to life at the Cincinnati Playhouse, the show about people dealing with depression is charming, funny, optimistic and even heart-warming. It's about a young woman with a recently earned degree in art therapy; she's been down in the dumps about finding work, but not as much as her mom who's gained weight and her sister who's been dumped by her fiancé. She's starting a new job thanks to her mom's long-ago boyfriend, now a middle school principal. He has issues of his own — from a slacker son to anxiety about a tiger that's escaped from the local zoo. Sound zany? Well, it is — as well as entertaining. The League of Cincinnati Theatres singled out this production's sound design by Vincent Olivieri for an award. One panelist wrote, "On a very small stage, scenes took place in a school gym, drugstore, office, closet, outdoors and in the living spaces of two houses. Except for the main set, capturing the essence of these scenes was limited to a couple of props and pieces of furniture — and the sound!" Through April 15. Box office: 513-421-3888.
There's a final performance on Saturday afternoon of Rapunzel! Rapunzel! A Very Hairy Fairy Tale, presented by The Children's Theatre of Cincinnati. The world premiere musical by composer Janet Vogt and writer Mark Friedman has received an award from the league of Cincinnati Theatres for its scenic design by David Centers. Tickets: 513-569-8080, x13. His design for the show was described by LCT judges as "simple and very well executed in a style that was great for the play." In addition to the show's signature tower, the set also boasts a forest that "wasn't too dank, dark and dismal, but instead had personality." (Centers, a veteran local designer and a graduate of the School for Creative and Performing Arts, received an LCT Award in the same category earlier this year for his work Disney's My Son Pinocchio Jr.) Tickets: 513-569-8080, x13.
On Wednesday I attended the Cirque du Soleil production of Dralion at the Bank of Kentucky Arena, adjacent to Northern Kentucky University. It's another extravaganza of strength and showmanship, athleticism and artistry. This struck me as a somewhat more compact show than I've seen in the past: The talent is just as great, but the concept — connections between East and West — is pretty vaporous. But there are three wonderful clowns, and several of the performances do things that make you say, "How can a human body do that?" Balancing on one hand, flying through the air on a hoop, skipping rope in a human pyramid — it's amazing stuff. It's being presented through Sunday: Lots of available seats on opening night, so I'm guessing you can still find tickets for all performances. Through Sunday. Tickets: 800-745-3000
Two excellent productions wrap up this weekend. The Cincinnati Playhouse's unique staging of Stephen Sondheim and George Furth's musical Merrily We Roll Along, which uses actors who also play musical instruments has its final performances on Saturday. I gave the production a Critic's Pick; Merrily is only infrequently staged, so this is a chance not to be missed. Box office: 513-421-3888. Ensemble Theatre concludes the run of Time Stands Still, a fine drama with a great ensemble cast directed by Michael Evan Haney. Final performance is on Sunday. This tale of burned-out journalists and last gasps at relationships by Donald Margulies, a Pulitzer Prize-winning dramatist, also earned a Critic's Pick. Box office: 513-421-3555.
Know Theatre's production of the recent off-Broadway and Broadway Rock musical hit, Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson, opens on Saturday. (It's onstage through May 12.) Word has it that tickets are already selling fast. Box office: 513-300-5669. This weekend is also the opening for Cincinnati Shakespeare's production of The Grapes of Wrath, which runs through April 29. Box office: 513-381-2273, x1.
Each week in Stage Door, Rick Pender offers theater tips for the weekend, often with a few pieces of theater news.

Symbol of the Bonds and Yokes
1In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, #Jer. 27:3, 12, 20; 28:1king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, 2"Thus says the Lord to me: 'Make for yourselves bonds and yokes, #Jer. 28:10, 12; Ezek. 4:1; 12:3; 24:3and put them on your neck, 3and send them to the king of Edom, the king of Moab, the king of the Ammonites, the king of Tyre, and the king of Sidon, by the hand of the messengers who come to Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah. 4And command them to say to their masters, "Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel—thus you shall say to your masters: 5#Ps. 115:15; 146:6; Is. 45:12'I have made the earth, the man and the beast that are on the ground, by My great power and by My outstretched arm, and #Deut. 9:29; Ps. 115:16; Jer. 32:17; Dan. 4:17, 25, 32have given it to whom it seemed proper to Me. 6#Jer. 28:14And now I have given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, #Jer. 25:9; 43:10; Ezek. 29:18, 20My servant; and #Jer. 28:14; Dan. 2:38the beasts of the field I have also given him to serve him. 7#2 Chr. 36:20So all nations shall serve him and his son and his son's son, #Jer. 25:12; 50:27; (Dan. 5:26); Zech. 2:8, 9until the time of his land comes; #Jer. 25:14and then many nations and great kings shall make him serve them. 8And it shall be, that the nation and kingdom which will not serve Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and which will not put its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation I will punish,' says the Lord, 'with the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand. 9Therefore do not listen to your prophets, your diviners, your dreamers, your soothsayers, or your sorcerers, who speak to you, saying, "You shall not serve the king of Babylon." 10For they prophesy a #Jer. 23:16, 32; 28:15lie to you, to remove you far from your land; and I will drive you out, and you will perish. 11But the nations that bring their necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon and serve him, I will let them remain in their own land,' says the Lord, 'and they shall till it and dwell in it.' " ' "
12I also spoke to #Jer. 28:1; 38:17Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, "Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live! 13#(Prov. 8:36); Jer. 27:8; 38:23; (Ezek. 18:31)Why will you die, you and your people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as the Lord has spoken against the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon? 14Therefore #Jer. 23:16do not listen to the words of the prophets who speak to you, saying, 'You shall not serve the king of Babylon,' for they prophesy #Jer. 14:14; 23:21; 29:8, 9; Ezek. 13:22a lie to you; 15for I have #Jer. 23:21; 29:9not sent them," says the Lord, "yet they prophesy a lie in My name, that I may drive you out, and that you may perish, you and the prophets who prophesy to you."
16Also I spoke to the priests and to all this people, saying, "Thus says the Lord: 'Do not listen to the words of your prophets who prophesy to you, saying, "Behold, #2 Kin. 24:13; 2 Chr. 36:7, 10; Jer. 28:3; Dan. 1:2the vessels of the Lord's house will now shortly be brought back from Babylon"; for they prophesy a lie to you. 17Do not listen to them; serve the king of Babylon, and live! Why should this city be laid waste? 18But if they are prophets, and if the word of the Lord is with them, let them now make intercession to the Lord of hosts, that the vessels which are left in the house of the Lord, in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, do not go to Babylon.'
19"For thus says the Lord of hosts #1 Kin. 7:15; 2 Kin. 25:13–17; Jer. 52:17, 20, 21concerning the pillars, concerning the Sea, concerning the carts, and concerning the remainder of the vessels that remain in this city, 20which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon did not take, when he carried away #2 Kin. 24:14, 15; 2 Chr. 36:10, 18; Jer. 24:1captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem— 21yes, thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the #Jer. 20:5vessels that remain in the house of the Lord, and in the house of the king of Judah and of Jerusalem: 22'They shall be #2 Kin. 25:13; 2 Chr. 36:18carried to Babylon, and there they shall be until the day that I #2 Chr. 36:21; Jer. 29:10; 32:5visit them,' says the Lord. 'Then #Ezra 1:7; 7:19I will bring them up and restore them to this place.' "

Altar b2b Luke Handsfree – The Interview Format
by Admin Threads | Apr 22, 2021 | blog | 0 comments
What's the best way to end a clubnight? Correct answer: a back-to-back session.
I asked Altar if he would like to join me and flex it out for the last set of the Próximo Threads* takeover, and you can hear how much fun it was here:
A little later I spoke with Altar, aka Jack Christie, owner of Container Records, promoter of the long-running THEM clubnight and record label alongside noted Afrobeat night Kartel, for a bit of a chat about life and music.
On running a record shop
So where is Container at now?
Jack:
Before Covid came along I was thinking about getting a proper shop near bookmongers in Brixton. I was almost ready to commit to this space I found and it was slightly risky, but I was thinking 'if I can rejig things it might pay off pretty well; there'll be a nicer space for in-stores, and there will be a bit more visibility. So let's go for it.' I was just weighing it up when Covid hit.
It's just as well that it hit at that point then!
Haha. I mean, independent businesses are vulnerable to the whims of the market, aka things like Covid, plus your own personal ability to take risks. It's not easy; a lot of self-will and gambling mentality involved, and it's quite exposed to the elements of stress. Record shops are quite hard to make money from too, of course.
Part of the problem is that the Internet has habitualised the idea of music for free, right? How often do you get people coming in to use your editorial in the shop and then going, 'I've I found this and I found that, and I've written them down in my phone and now I'm to go home, add them to my Spotify playlist' or whatever.
I mean, I didn't run a record shop before the internet, so I don't know if that has increased. It does happen. I don't know whether it was a thing before, you know, 10, 20 years ago. I'm sure it was. I think a record shop should be somewhere that someone with not much money can come in and kind of browse music and not necessarily have the obligation to buy, they'll know they might get back into it, a place for people to share enthusiasm for music and discover the outside of just the utility of commercial trade.
It's got a societal meaning, a point of congregation and communion attached to it.
Like a church is a place where people congregate and share ideas. And you know, you could just say the same thing about a park. There's places that have a meaning and a significance that aren't to do with money. But there's another side to it where someone comes in, digs through some records and says 'can I take photos?' Usually people are nice enough to ask, take a bunch of photos of records and put them back. You know, of course, on a bad day you might roll your eyes, but on a deeper level, every time I feel like that's completely legit. And, you know, it makes you proud to run a space where people can come in and do that.
Yeah absolutely, one of the really amazing things about record shops is, as you say, the sharing of ideas, of influences. So you can go in and you can be flicking through the racks, and your colleagues in the shop are doing the buying and getting the understanding of what is what, what specific customers like, where it sits and what kind of associations that music has. The type of music that you've got in your hand might have some emotional or aesthetic likeness with some other music that Spotify wouldn't necessarily show you.
Yes! And also having a conversation with them about music as well. The thing about running a small shop is that invariably you just start chatting and then someone will say, 'I don't like this, but I like this'. And it fires off lots of different ideas, it's probably my favourite part of the job.
Right now, in terms of the ability for algorithms to perform that function, there isn't sufficient research around how people make discrete aesthetic choices, we simply don't know enough about the brain right now to be able to make anything near the same quality and humanity of recommendations.
You can't answer back to the Spotify algorithm, and the Spotify algorithm can get things wrong. You know, I listen to Spotify and it gets things right and I'll discover new artists. Then it gets things wrong and it puts two artists together – a lot of one artist's audience really likes this other artist, and I don't, but it keeps on suggesting anyway and you can't tell it that it is wrong. In the shop though, I'll say, check this out, and if the customer goes 'yeah, I can see why you thought that, but that's a bit too heavy, I'd like it a bit more melodic', I can instantly go, 'what about this and this?', and you navigate the communication between yourself and the customer and find what they're looking for.
And it's an education for you as well, right?
Yeah, absolutely, loads of times I've ended up finding new artists, you know, maybe even stuff that I'd stocked that I hadn't really given a try properly and ended up really liking it after someone has suggested it.
On new discoveries, transcendence and punk in dance music:
What have been some of the good discoveries that you've made recently?
I really liked the solo record by Adrianne Lenker, who is this American singer-songwriter from a band called Big Thief. She went through a break-up while Big Thief were on tour, at the beginning of Covid. I actually saw them on that tour at the [Hammersmith] Apollo, they're great. They've got folk roots and country roots, and they play on those old sort of Appalachian American folk traditions and bluegrass and whatever. But they also have influences from things like shoegaze and things with lots of space and depth, and so they combine all that.
And obviously, influences aside, she's just an amazing songwriter. She came into lockdown and after a breakup, so she went to see her sister who lives in the woods in Northeast USA. And she was, you know, songs were just pouring out of her, so they say. She sent for her go-to producer to come up with some kit, and they recorded her songs in this cabin in the woods. They recorded a load of birdsong too, it was springtime. It's a little while ago now, but it's a really special reminder of summer lockdown. It really is great.
Yeah, it's kind of quite a romantic idea, isn't it? The Post-Break-Up-Isolation – in this case a doubly-enforced isolation – and then the writing of songs to express oneself in disarray. I really like Big Thief actually, I think they're brilliant. I saw them live, I haven't listened to the solo record yet. I think there's an album of instrumentals with it as well.
That's right, the second disc is all instrumental. It's all quite unconventional from a kind of modal I perspective. I'm not much of a technical music theorist, but it seems to me that she must take a lot of influence from jazz and there's a lot of that kind of deconstructing of harmonies going on in the guitar playing.
Yeah, when I saw them at End Of The Road festival a couple of years ago, she was quite an intense stage presence, there were a couple of points at which the band seemed to be like 'what the fuck is going on' while she was twanging away on a single note for like three minutes. She was also asking whether people had done acid and was talking about how she felt like she was losing her shit.
Go and check out the Big Thief Tiny Desk concert, you'll get a taste of how intense they are as performers and bandmates. They're all in the groove and they're all really doing their thing. The YouTube comments are funny, with people pointing out that they look like they should be in four different bands; the guitarist looks like he's in the disco, the drummer is about to go fly fishing and the bassist looks like he's going to Burning Man. But they're also so intensely involved in what they're doing. I love bands and artists that have a sort of transcendental reverie to what they're doing. I can't get enough of that stuff.
That engaged reverie also is a bit jazz-vibes as well.
Everybody in the groove together, just staying locked, that's something I look for in lots of different types of music. In terms of conveying emotion in dance music, I think a lot of it's done in the studio, in the selection of samples, in the development of sound, before people get to the actual clubs. Singing is a lot more physically connected to your actual 'voice' and your sense of expression in a direct way, obviously. People express themselves in electronic music of course, but it's like there's another step of translation involved. Though there is that transcendence in performance that you can still find in dance music, people like Giant Swan are definitely on that tip.
I must admit to my slight ignorance of them.
I don't want to sound biased, but because they're coming from a punk rock background, which, you know, I like a lot of that stuff as well, that maybe they're bringing some of that with them and that's the ideal state to be in. They're looking to provoke adrenalin and provoke other things. I think, maybe because of all the technical aspects, most Electronic music is a lot more, you know, logical, cerebral maybe.
On the Próximo Threads takeover b2b:
We had a lot of fun playing records back to back with each other. I mean it was just, man, it was long awaited and I was absolutely blessed to be able to to share the decks with you.
It's always a pleasure.
And so, when you were thinking about what records to play, what was going on in your mind?
I can't remember where I was now, but I got stuck and had to come with a second set of records that I didn't plan to, and also I put a load of tracks onto a USB which we couldn't use. But in terms of Próximo, it was like Jungle Hardcore and early Jungle. Próximo seems to be about a quite modern interpretation of that jungle hardcore continuum, with lots of references to breakbeats, and how it's dispersed through Techno and DnB and that fertile ground of UK music where everyone's feeding off of everyone else's sounds. And since I first met you, probably around 2010 or 11 you've always been bang into that kind of thing. Back then, the energy from Dubstep was getting used in all kinds of different areas and in-between-sounds that weren't easily labelled.
Yeah. It's still that hardcore continuum. It's still that screwface rudeness.
To answer your question, I probably would have been looking to older Jungle tunes that, for one reason or another, they sound like they might have come out last year – they may be quite sparse or they didn't have any of the kind of, you know, cliched samples. And then I would have tried to find more recent jungle and breakbeat releases, and maybe one or two that appeal to that technical use to space that Proximo seems to call for, and just tried to create a harmonious palette between them all.
Yeah, because a lot of that old hardcore stuff is really highly identifiable of its time.
Yeah, and that doesn't stop me from liking it, but, you know, that's because I like all things, really, I kind of tend to be a bit of an omnivore when it comes to music.
Nice one. Thanks so much for being involved Jack, I really appreciate it. I'm really glad that we were able to come together and spin some records.
Any time mate!

McEwan's Scotch Ale: I like my beer strong and sweet! McEwan's is a beer after my own heart! At 8% Alcohol by Volume it kicks it up a notch or two... and has the flavor and style that brings you back for more!
Spaten's Optimator: This is has become my second personal favorite. Optimator is a Munich Dopple-Bock, a brew that is sweet and high in alcohol. Like most German Dopple-Bocks, Optimator has no hop bitterness or hop aroma. The beer has a rich red-brown color and a very light head. It's a great beer, but don't overindulge... it packs a bit of a wollop!
Schneider Weisse: Possibly the best Weiss beer made, it has only been widely available in the United States for a short while. Schneider Weisse is a Wheat Ale. It should NEVER be served with a slice of Lemon... This beer is just too tasty to be tainted by Lemon. This beer more resembles a British Ale in color than the lightly hued weisse beers most people have tried (like Franziskaner). The flavor has a strong spiciness, as well has some fruitiness.
New York Harbor Porter: This is one of the best Porters on the market. The rich coffee-like flavor is light and refreshing. Far too many Porters have a burnt aftertaste which really ruins the drinking experience. That lack of an aftertaste makes NYHP a world class beer! I have given NYHP to many non-beer drinkers and they were instantly converted.
Blue Moon Raspberry Cream Ale: The name perfectly describes this tasty brew. Fruit ales (or Lambics) are amongst the tastiest (and most expensive) beers available. A single bottle of a good Lambic, like a Boon Kreik or Leifmann's Framboise can often cost as much as a six-pack of regular beer. Blue Moon is no more expensive than you average Microbrewed beer. It's quite a bargain!
Fuller's ESB: This is a premiere Bitter Ale. Unlike many ESB's[Extra Special Bitter], Fullers is a highly bitter brew. When you compare it to other beers that call themselves ESB's Fullers is in a class by itself. All too often brewers think that an ESB should not be bitter... well what's so special about that? Fuller's is often available in "cask-conditioned" kegs.
