BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) Buffalo Bills owner Terry Pegula says the team is in no rush to build a new stadium or sell naming rights to its current home.
Pegula said Thursday that the team has time and an existing lease on the current stadium.
When Pegula purchased the team in October 2014, he said the team would build a new stadium despite a $130 million renovation the previous summer. But that doesn't mean it's coming anytime soon.
Pegula and his wife Kim were part of a panel discussion with Boston Bruins owner Jeremy Jacobs and NHL commissioner Gary Bettman.
The Bills agreed on a 10-year, $271 million lease deal in 2012 with New York State and Ere County to keep the team at Ralph Wilson Stadium in Orchard Park. The agreement included a commitment to put aside funds and establish an advisory group to explore the potential of building a new stadium for the franchise.
The first stages of Ralph Wilson Stadium's renovation were completed last fall, months after the building's namesake and original owner passed away.
''From our standpoint with the stadium as Terry mentioned, it's very simple, we're still going through the stadium renovations and we're going to enjoy those,'' said Bills managing partner Russ Brandon, who said there was no timetable for a stadium decision.
''The lease gives us the opportunity to take a quantitative and holistic view of what the future may hold and educate ourselves on subjects related to that but we're very comfortable and very pleased with Ralph Wilson Stadium and the relationship we have with both the county and the state,'' he said.
The upgrades include new fan-friendly amenities, such as larger concessions stands, a sports bar, easier access into the stadium and wider concourses.
The key renovations include 3 million feet of linear cable to improve communications and technology in the stadium. There are also two new video boards and 53 more entry points.
Wilson refused to sell naming rights to the stadium for a second time despite the money it could bring into the team, and the Pegulas plan on honoring that.

Q: JavaScript library like JsonViewer I am trying to write the documentation of a custom HTTP API. I would like to see it like a demo client, with real responses.
In design there will be 3 columns, 1 for request methods, 1 for JsonViewer and 1 for html output.
My question is if there a library (JS) to help me in the JsonViewer like http://jsonviewer.stack.hu/ ?
Thanks.

A: I created a simple JSON viewer. It parses JSON from string by standard JSON.parse() method, and draws json-tree.
You can use only jsonTree library from editor in your project and create many json-trees on one html page.

Abstract: The term accommodation has been used to refer to family responses specifically related to obsessive–compulsive (OC) symptoms: it encompasses behaviors such as directly participating in compulsions, assisting a relative with obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) when he/she is performing a ritual, or helping him/her to avoid triggers that may precipitate obsessions and compulsions. At the opposite side, family responses to OCD may also include interfering with the rituals or actively opposing them; stopping accommodating OC symptoms or actively interfering with their performance is usually associated with greater distress and sometimes even with aggressive behaviors from the patients. This article summarizes progress of the recent research concerning family accommodation in relatives of patients with OCD. Family accommodation is a prevalent phenomenon both among parents of children/adolescents with OCD and relatives/caregivers of adult patients. It can be measured with a specific instrument, the Family Accommodation Scale, of which there are several versions available for use in clinical practice. The vast majority of both parents of children/adolescents with OCD and family members of adult patients show at least some accommodation; providing reassurances to obsessive doubts, participating in rituals and assisting the patient in avoidance are the most frequent accommodating behaviors displayed by family members. Modification of routine and modification of activities specifically due to OC symptoms have been found to be equally prevalent. Specific characteristics of patients (such as contamination/washing symptoms) and of relatives (the presence of anxiety or depressive symptoms or a family history positive for another anxiety disorder) are associated with a higher degree of family accommodation; these family members may particularly benefit from family-based cognitive–behavioral interventions. In recent years, targeting family accommodation has been suggested as a fundamental component of treatment programs and several interventions have been tested. Clinicians should be aware that family-based cognitive–behavior therapy incorporating modules to target family accommodation is more effective in reducing OC symptoms. Targeting family accommodation may be as well relevant for patients treated pharmacologically.

Two Women in Home Health Care Fraud Case Sentenced …
Senior Care - Legal Issues May 1, 2019April 30, 2019 admin
Two women who were part of what some authorities considered to be one of largest home health care fraud schemes in the country were sentenced recently. Autumn Brown, 32 and Brenda Lowry Horton, 48, both received probation.
Both Ms. Brown and Ms. Horton are from Pittsburgh and the terms of the probation include six months of home detention, or house arrest. They were also each ordered to pay restitution to the Pennsylvania Medicaid program. Autumn Brown was ordered to pay back $68,000 to the Medicaid system. Brenda Horton was ordered to pay $67,000 in restitution.
Both of these women had initially pleaded guilty to a years–long conspiracy they helped carry out. While working with Moriarty Consultants, a home health care company operating on Perrysville Avenue in Pittsburgh, the two women claimed they had been submitting fraudulent claims for services that were never provided and helped fabricate those forms.
As noted by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in its news blog, Two woman [sic] sentenced in record home healthcare fraud case; 14 more under indictment:
"The women admitted that they were part of a conspiracy to submit fraudulent claims for services that were never provided to consumers identified on claim forms or that was fabricated to support the claims.
They also conspired with others to fabricate timesheets for care they never provided.
In addition, Horton and others stopped using their own names as attendants on timesheets and instead used the names of ghost employees, some of whom allowed their names to be used in exchange for kickbacks drawn from the fraudulent salary payments."
Between 2011 in 2017, Moriarty Consultants received over $87 million in Medicaid payments, though it was not made clear what percentage of those payments were completely fraudulent or if there were any services that were actually provided to clients in need. Arlinda Moriarty, the owner of Moriarty Consultants, is currently under indictment along with 13 other people.
According to investigators, Ms. Brown also allowed her name to be used in a fraudulent manner, receiving payments for being part of this conspiracy. Ms. Horton also admitted to paying kickbacks to certain consumers who allowed their names to be used and forged on false timesheets.
It was not made clear whether any other co-conspirators were planning to plead guilty in this case, but these were the first two to admit their guilt and be sentenced. It has been a black mark on the home health care industry, but it appears that justice is beginning to be served.

The Alliance of Retired Public Servants has completed a process of consultation with constituent pension organisations (representing some 100,000 public service pensioners) on the government decision on pension restoration, which is now set out in Part III of the FEMPI Bill, 2015.
The Bill provides for the gradual restoration of pensions over 2016, 2017 and 2018 for about 65,000 public service pensioners but with no end in sight for the remaining 25,000 pensioners who will continue to have their pensions reduced under emergency powers.
While confirming the welcome by the Alliance of the progress made by the Minister for Public and Expenditure and Reform and the Government towards ending the use of emergency powers to reduce public service pensions, there are a range of issues which are still of great concern to pensioners.
In a situation not alone of recovery but of continued spectacular growth in the economy, the Alliance believes that the time frame for restoration is too long and that the legislation should be amended to provide for rescheduling of payments with a view to complete restoration by very early in 2019. The additional cost involved could very easily be factored in over the four year budgetary period 2016/2019 without in any way damaging economic growth or recovery.
The government decision on pay and pension restoration has also raised a further issue of great importance. This is the fact that over 50,000 pensioners on pensions of up to €12,000 per annum (and not subject to pension reduction) have received no increase in their pension, notwithstanding the increase in take home pay for all serving public servants and that there have been increases in the state pension. Similarly, the ten thousand public servants who retired after February, 2012 have received no increase in their basic pensions even though the salaries of their counterparts still serving have been increased.
As matters stand, this group of retired public servants, the overwhelming majority of whom are on very low pensions, have not only received no increases but have been given no indication as to if or when their situation will be addressed by government. This, in the view of the Alliance, is completely untenable and must be dealt with urgently.
The Alliance believes that the political approach to public service pensions derives from a populist view that public servants are a privileged class who all receive high pensions. The tiny number of high profile public service pensioners (maybe five in a thousand) who receive pensions over €100, 000 are regularly presented in the media as the norm and this has skewed the approach to pension restoration. Put simply, the emergency legislation cannot, under the Constitution, meet the public mood and selectively target top pensioners – middle income pensioners have to be dragged with them as well.
public service pensioners continue to be seriously discriminated against by comparison with their private sector counterparts who pay no Universal Social Charge on the state pension element of their pension.
While recognising the progress made, the consultation process undertaken by the Alliance has revealed a deep well of discontent among public service pensioners at the extent to which, in radically improved economic circumstance, emergency powers are continuing to be used to to take their hard earned money from them.
At this stage, with restoration stretching into 2018 and beyond, public service pensioners, in effect, see their money used to fund tax relief for the better off in the run up to a general election, and, after years of pension cuts, they now want a fair deal.
The Alliance was formed because public service pensioners were not represented at the Croke Park or Haddington Road processes. Consultation is much better than exclusion but it does not constitute agreement. What is really needed is negotiating rights, access to mediation and representation of public service pensioners at the industrial relations machinery of the state.


Over the past few weeks, record flooding has devastated the small fishing and surfing village of Sayulita, located just north of Puerto Vallarta in the state of Nayarit, Mexico. The community's main bridge has been washed away and many homes and possessions have been lost.
Andy Lambrecht, a Pemberton resident, Whistler Blackcomb employee and owner of Lambrecht Surfboards, actually met his wife on a surf trip in Sayulita in 2003, and the two were married there one year later. Today, they still maintain close ties with the community.
"We go down there for usually a month every year and I actually did take last winter off and we spent four months down there," he said.
"Over the past three weeks, I believe the majority of the flooding started on or around Sept. 7. So what's happened is they just have had torrential downpours - it's been the biggest flooding they've had in 80 years," Lambrecht explained.
Because of his close ties with the town, Lambrecht is now teaming up with a few members of the Sea to Sky community to raise funds for the people affected by the flooding, hosting a film screening, auction and raffle at the GLC on Saturday, Oct. 2. They will be premiering Heather Hudson's, The Women and the Waves , a film that documents women in the surf world. They will also be auctioning off a custom-built surfboard from Lambrecht's company, photography, plenty of items and services from local businesses, as well as donated services and items from businesses in Sayulita.
"So people are going to be able to win stuff from Sayulita and then go down there and use it for accommodation, restaurants, surf rentals, surf lessons..."
The event starts at 8 p.m., and cover is a $5 to $10 donation at the door.
The 10th annual Whistler Film Festival is shaping up to be a very interesting affair, indeed. Not only have organizers added an extra day, this year they've partnered with Whistler Beer to create the new Brewski's short film competition.
Organizers recently issued a call for submissions, inviting filmmakers to produce a one- to three-minute short film or animated story that visually tells audiences about "A Great Beer Experience." Tales can be dramatic, fun or outrageous, but they must tell a complete story, rather than simply being an ad for Whistler Beer. The best part? There's a $5,000 cash prize up for grabs! Plus, the top five finalists will be invited to attend the 2010 Whistler Film Festival, where the grand prize winner will be announced at the Closing Gala.

Tributes to Derby greengrocer with 'heart of gold' who has died aged 69
Paul Eley ran fruit and vegetable shops in Chaddesden, Littleover and Oakwood

A well-known Derby businessman and greengrocer who was "always happy, laughing and joking" has died at the age of 69.
Paul Eley ran fruit and vegetable shops in Chaddesden, Littleover and Oakwood – plus a frozen-food wholesalers in Ascot Drive – during the 70s, 80s and 90s.
He followed in the footsteps of his father, businessman Percy Eley, who started trading in Derby's Morledge market in the late 60s and later taught his son "everything he knew".
His family have described him as someone who had a "heart of gold".
Mr Eley, of Mickleover, died following a battle with throat cancer on November 13.
His fruit and vegetable shops in Littleover and Chaddesden were called Eley's, while his third shop, which also sold groceries, was called Oakwood Florists.
Mr Eley is pictured at his wedding to Elaine in 1971.
The wholesalers in Ascot Drive, which he ran for a decade with siblings Tony and Tracey in the early 80s, was called Freeze Foods.
His son Andrew Eley, 42, who has taken up the family business and runs a fruit and vegetable shop himself in Staffordshire, said his father was from an older generation that valued hard work.
He said: "His dad drilled into him that hard work was important.
"In Mickleover people are always asking if I'm any relation to the family – the name is still going strong now.

"He did that through hard work – getting up at 3.30am every morning and not getting home until 6.30pm at night."
Andrew said the Eleys were so well-respected in Derby that even the Birds baking empire kept tabs on their movements.
He said: "[Birds founder] Reginald Bird used to ring my dad up and ask where he was opening the next shop because he wanted to be next to us."

Andrew said Mr Eley was a kind, Christian man who was often helping others in need.
He said: "He gave everything and he never wanted anything back.
"There's no end of stories that people tell me. One particular person, he didn't have enough money for his mortgage, and my dad paid for it. He just said to pay him back when he could."

Mr Eley's daughter, Sarah Eley, who owns a beauty therapy business in the original premises for her father's shop in Wood Lane, Chaddesden, said her father was a "perfectionist".
The 35-year-old said: "He was very a friendly and enthusiastic man, but he was very particular and he was a perfectionist.
"Dad wanted the best quality products and he was very particular on how he presented his shops.

Mr Eley is survived by his siblings, Norma, Yvonne, Tony, Sue and Tracey, his grandchildren Lily-Mae, Skyla, Callum and Joshua, and his former wife Elaine, who he married in 1971.
All who knew Mr Eley are welcome to attend his funeral, which will be held at 11am at All Saints Church in Mickleover, followed by an internment at Findern Cemetery.

Lucet is designed to take WebAssembly beyond the browser, and build a platform for faster, safer execution on Fastly's edge cloud. WebAssembly is already supported by many languages including Rust, TypeScript, C, and C++, and many more have WebAssembly support in development. We want to enable our customers to go beyond Fastly VCL and move even more logic to the edge, and use any language they choose. Lucet is the engine behind Terrarium, our experimental platform for edge computation using WebAssembly. Soon, we will make it available on Fastly's edge cloud as well.
With Lucet, Fastly's edge cloud can execute tens of thousands of WebAssembly programs simultaneously, in the same process, without compromising security. The Lucet compiler and runtime work together to ensure each WebAssembly program is allowed access to only its own resources. This means that Fastly's customers will be able to write and run programs in more common, general-purpose languages, without compromising the security and safety we've always offered.
It was recently discovered that some surprising operations on Rust's standard hash table types could go quadratic.
Rust achieves memory safety without GC by using a sophiscated borrow system. For any resource (stack memory, heap memory, file handle and so on), there is exactly one owner which takes care of its resource deallocation, if needed. You may create new bindings to refer to the resource using & or &mut, which is called a borrow or mutable borrow. The compiler ensures all owners and borrowers behave correctly.

One of the biggest hurdles traditional retailers need to overcome when designing an online portal for their bricks and mortar stores is maintaining the same level of customer service on a website as they do in a store.
All the big appliance and CE retailers now have online sites, with several, such as Bing Lee, featuring electronic sales assistants to chat via text with consumers. Big Brown Box has taken this one step further, integrating videos from the major manufacturers onto its website.
Originally owned by Thorn Group (owners of the Radio Rentals and Rentlo brands), Big Brown Box was purchased by Appliances Online last year, delivering an AV portal to complement Appliances Online's firm whitegoods footing.
John Winning, the young CEO of these companies, has again shown his verve to continue evolving, sending a film crew over to the 2012 International CES in Las Vegas to record the show for embedding on the website. He said this innovation could be an Australian first and that it's great for helping customers choose the right product.
David Beck, the general manager of Big Brown Box, said the website already had videos featuring Sony, Panasonic, Samsung, Sharp, Toshiba and TCL.
"Our staff members in the customer support centre are never commission based, so we just want to ensure our customers have as much information at their disposal to make an informed choice about the product that suits them best," Beck said.
"The new video features often give more information than is usually available in retail stores, and is presented to customers by experts from each of the leading brands."
Although not starring the leading brands, Bing Lee has also invested in online product demonstrations, with its YouTube channel recently recording its one millionth view. The Bing Lee Electrics channel features reviews, buying guides and unboxings.


This week I practiced what Lyn Campbell recommended during our interview on Impactful Engineer (read here). I asked for feedback from someone I work with. I asked her how she thinks I can improve in meetings.
It was difficult to listen to harsh feedback, but it was so right on. It's consistent feedback that I got from my lovely wife about how I am also with my personal relationships.
After this feedback from work, I realize I have obvious behavior changes I need to make. I also wanted to point out that it was hard to hear this type of feedback, but it's also much needed advice for both at work and in my personal life.

This is a two part piece for teachers that will later consider coaching Practice in others, but firstly I would like to mull over what Practice should mean to us. I've been pondering over how best to write this for some time, while also considering the concept and how my own understanding and commitment to Practice has manifested and mutated over time.
I must first ask of you that you approach these writings with an open mind, and see them through to their end. Of course the ideas in these paragraphs are personal, and so may come across as offensive. Please know my intent is to inspire conversation and perhaps self-evaluation, not to upset. Pilates has come to mean many different things to all who engage with it, and so of course at times we approach from seemingly conflicting sides of the table, but the very notion of Practice requires that we constantly take a step away from ourselves to consider our current context and perhaps move forward to shape ourselves in alternate ways.
Question: do you ever think about how you drive a car? Seriously, since you got your license and moved past those fretful first few months where you were extra careful of running red lights, do you ever stop to think about how you could still improve? Do you shift gears quickly enough? Are you always late-breaking, or constantly getting speeding tickets? What about parking- over time have you actually gotten better at reversing into tight spaces or do you still avoid them? Ultimately, could you pull the same moves and speeds as a race car driver around a professional track?
If you think about it, the notion of Practice means that we should be progressing over time as we continually engage. If you're 40 and you've clocked up potentially tens of thousands of hours on the road, and you still drive without thinking and in the same ol' manner you did when you were 17, what's changed? Are you just doing, or is it a Practice?
It's been assessed that to master something on average takes 10,000 hours. My point is that there's plenty of things we've done for more than this requirement and we're still doing it just as we always did, maybe even worse. True mastery requires incredible dedication not just to showing up, but to really being IN the moment with training, constant self-evaluation, and consistent check in with constructive external assessment.
The biggest fundamental to mastery however is the desire to constantly want to change for the better. For example, I've been in cars with plenty of drivers who still, after years of driving, avoid parking in difficult spaces close to shops because they don't feel confident and would rather park further away where it's easy to find space. They never change, never stop to consider if maybe they are capable of more, and in doing so making their life better. Similarly until recently when I really stopped to think about it, I used to get consistently frustrated and at times aggressive when peak traffic didn't go my way...never stopping to consider that I always hit it because I never manage my time well enough in the morning to get out the door and leave a reasonable period in which to get to work.
Many people make these choices to dig in to habit, both consciously and not, all the time. In fact in many cases we prefer to make jokes about these things with our friends and family- "Oh, I'm ALWAYS late, I just can't get out the door on time for anything..." Practice requires you to look at yourself, and want to be something more. It doesn't require you to want a body like Channing Tatum or to run the 100m like the Bolt, but it does require will power and honest reflection.
My big point. This is missing in the way many of us engage with Pilates, and as I'll discuss in the follow up to this post, it's also missing in the way we deliver the method.
Personally as a third generation teacher I try to stay away from the debate about who remembered what exercise right, and so on...in my mind that's for the generation above me to get caught up in. What I will gladly enter into with tenacity however is the debate about what Pilates is fundamentally, and what it should mean to each of us.
I'm absolutely certain that there was hardly a thing in Joseph Pilates' life that he hadn't really considered deeply- from trying to do something more effectively and efficiently, to researched ideas and opinions, to habits and behaviours. Now the way he lived and the ideas he had on specific things might not be for all of us, but what we should stop to really think about is that the man lived for the idea of being present, and of trying to be something more than what we are. This, in my opinion, is what truly defines Pilates. Deeper than the exercises, orders, equipment choices, and lineages, Pilates at its core is a Practice that through consistent and attentive engagement should be helping us to realise ourselves as something more, something better, someone more considerate of our actions, choices and footprint. If you read his books and only see the exercises, you've missed the whole point.
The point is Joe Pilates sought to master, well, everything. He looked at things, exercise, bodies...life...and thought about ways in which it could all be more effectively made, trained, executed. He was a master of Mastery, in essence everything to him was Practice. Ergo, to be 'in' Pilates, this is essentially how we must approach it.
"He was a master of Mastery, in essence everything to him was Practice"
Many Pilates teachers today don't have a Practice. Caught up by life, time, aches and pain, they defer the very thing that they should actually be invested in, if not through a sense of responsibility to donning the Pilates name, at least for their own wellbeing. Not to put words into his mouth, but my assumption would be Joe would be pretty furious about this. I'm not saying this is how the reader should feel, but when I really stopped to think about it for myself, I did feel quite ashamed, both because I knew I could do better for me, and because I do want to honour the name Pilates and what I truly believe it stands for.
So pose yourself this question, do you really have a Practice. Are most of your workouts, or all of them, just circuitous paths around the same cemented position? Are you better than you were? Are you seeking to master the system- at a pace in which works for you of course- but are you trying? Are you holding onto the idea of an injury that really isn't there anymore, but is still holding you back from trying to do something harder?. And, are you exercising, regularly...like, everyday, or at least Joe's recommended 4 times per week?
Deeper than all these questions, pose yourself this- Do you believe that you can do more, be more?
Are you actually trying to get there, and making room for your efforts both in your schedule and in your mind? If you know you still can't perform a Roll Up, are you saying the same affirmations to keep you in your place, or have you really looked at why you can't, and set in place the pathway that will get you there?
Do you truly, really, believe that you can do more, be more?
Change will only happen if you step outside yourself and make observations and then choices to shift. Doing this in a constructively judgemental way is essential, but on a grand scale can be overwhelming emotionally. The good news is it doesn't have to be- take a baby step first and plan to work on one thing this month and see where you get.
Likewise for those of us who think 'we have it,' good Practice should make us continually look back at ourselves and assess whether we're sitting too much into our own rhythm and have forgotten our basics (read this metaphorically also), or whether we're realising what each exercise seeks to achieve fundamentally. It should also make us consider whether we're trying to shape ourselves into the best version of us, or looking to achieve the notoriety, physicality, or life of someone else. Maybe we need some help with this and should engage a mentor so that we are more accountable to ourselves, by being accountable to the teachings of someone else? All things to really consider.
The crux: real Practice keeps you honest with yourself, and ensures growth. If your Pilates is stagnant, is it really still Pilates that you're doing?
It's all very confronting, but it is positive, it is growth...and it is Pilates.
Trevor (my partner) and I constantly joke about how the most spoken phrase in our house isn't "I love you," but rather "we'll get there." Jokes aside (we certainly say "I love you more!") it is a phrase that definitely defines our character- that is we are of that small subset of people that always feel there is something to work on, something to work towards, somewhere new to go.
I've read articles from different sources recently regarding the differences in Pilates styles/offerings, and while they are all fairly accurate I would venture that there is a big point being missed in the defining of Classical Pilates, or rather the client that is drawn to it and experiences successful outcomes.
In my opinion devotees of the Authentic work are a breed apart from status quo Pilates exercisers. They are people who are not threatened by being humbled by the learning process, and enjoy sinking long term into a Practice. True Pilates is a fickle mistress, that becoming seemingly more simple as the layers come off is at the same time becoming incredibly more complex.
This is a characteristic of true disciplines, such as martial arts and dance, and to be successful you really must be a person who enjoys this never ending type of quest. This is certainly a reason that many highly-trained ballet dancers are drawn to the work, because they are conditioned to sticking with something and working at it long term to draw out the juice.
Trevor working tirelessly for the 'perfect' teaser at Proper Pilates Melbourne.
I would venture that Authentic Pilates (taught in an individually applied form- not through classes) is a modern day martial art- in that it is a practice that helps us to defend ourselves from contemporary woes and threats.... eg bad posture due to lifestyle choices and work conditions, apathy brought about by entitlement and ease of access to everything, etc. It is a thrilling form of physical, and through that mental, conditioning that requires consistency and commitment, not just new brand conscious tights, a green smoothie and a decent Instagram following.
The strength of the work when applied individually is that it requires the client to become more involved in their learning process. This can be a detractor for many people who just want things to be more simple for them. For many people classes deliver exercise, but not a lasting mental shift by which participants learn the deeper components of exercises, remember them, and leave with a lasting impression of how to better move their body in the real world. Having to take responsibility for your own training requires fortitude- it's hard to turn up day in and out and work deeper into something, remember your corrections, and build your awareness of your body. Therefore, it's just not a practice that everyone can sink into- it can be "too hard," or "too confronting."
To that end Pilates (as we engage with it at PP) is for everyone, but everyone is not necessarily for Pilates. So training costs, lineages and stylistic approaches aside, for me hands down the biggest thing that sets aside individualized Authentic work (which is the delivery method most true to Joe's intended form) is that it is not your ability that draws you into it, but rather your tenacious character- that you are a person that enjoys the process and loves the work.

2019 Elections: Tight Security As Atiku Arrives In Abakaliki For Campaign
Security has been beefed up in some parts of Ebonyi State capital, Abakaliki in the build-up to the arrival of the Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar to the state for campaign.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that major roads leading to the Pa Ngele Oruta Stadium were blocked to traffic while vehicles were diverted to other routes.
NAN also reports that all the markets in the city were closed for business as the people trooped in their numbers to the stadium for the rally.
