How Crowd in Biu, Southern Borno Welcomed Peter Obi and His Running Mate Datti Ahmed
The presidential campaign rally for the Labour Party's nominee, Mr. Peter obi, a former governor of Anambra state, and his running partner, Datti Baba Ahmed, was held in Gombe State on Wednesday. He also attended a Townhall discussion with Gombe State women during the event. The vice presidential candidate for the Labour Party is Datti Baba Ahmed. Many of the Labour Party presidential candidate's supporters attended the gathering to show their support for the candidate.
Despite this, Peter Obi and his running companion, Datti Baba Ahmed, opted to stop at the adjacent town of Biu in southern Borno to speak with the folks there before traveling to the location of the campaign event in Gombe State. This happened throughout the campaign rally that was held in Gombe State. The audience gave the Labour Party presidential candidate and his vice presidential running mate a raucous welcome as soon as they were seen, with some individuals rising up with campaign posters to demonstrate their support for him. When they were seen, others cheered loudly.
What's your opinion on this? Kindly share your thoughts below.

(1989) "You Belong in Rock n' Roll"
"Prisoner of Love" is a song by Tin Machine taken from their eponymous debut album. It was issued as their third single in October 1989. Bowie claimed at the time he wrote the song for his then-partner Melissa Hurley. It reads as worldly advice from the singer, warning the subject off drugs among other things – Bowie's social conscience is a recurring theme of Tin Machine.
"Prisoner of Love" was backed by live tracks recorded at La Cigale, Paris on 25 June 1989, and had a novel heart-shaped 7" picture disc release. It failed to chart in the UK or the US.

Sculptor. Designer. Artist
A carpenter by trade, Matt has harnessed his knowledge of architectural and rendering software to create eye-catching pieces that are not bound by size or design limitations.
His signature works include large-scale metal animals and captivating stratified spheres that light up at night.
Matt loves experimenting with geometric shapes and patterns and has become a master of creating 3D pieces from 2D planes.
Since his very first sculpture won 'Best Small Sculpture' at the Albert Park Art Exhibition in Melbourne in 2013, Matt has been invited to be the feature artist at numerous art exhibitions.
He has been commissioned to supply sculptures for hotels in Japan and has won several awards, including back-to-back accolades at the prestigious Melbourne International Flower & Garden Show in 2017 and 2018. His pair of elephant sculptures, Ellie and Billy, collected the 'People's Choice Award' in 2017, while the following year he took home first prize in the show's 'Estate' category for his collection of kangaroos.
In 2017, he was honoured to be one of only six artists in the world invited to the Czech Republic, where he fabricated a life-sized rhino sculpture to be permanently fixed in the city of Mlada Boleslav.
In 2018, he donated a similar piece to the Australian Rhino Project, a conservation initiative to protect the species.
Matt is always on the lookout for a fresh challenge and enjoys making the seemingly impossible possible.
He loves creating one-off pieces and welcomes commissions.
With his creative talent and grand imagination, there is no limit to what he can achieve.
The Australian Rhino Project was really overwhelmed with the generosity of Matt to donate his beautiful rhino sculpture and we are truly grateful for his support.
Sarah Dennis, The Australian Rhino Project
Love Matt's work! The attention to detail is amazing. Everyone that sees the pieces compliments them. Love the Light in Limbo and Agave sculptures. They finish the front yard beautifully. Thanks Matt!
Matt is a very talented and creative metal artist. We love the tone and texture of his corten creations. Among our favourites are The Fire Pit, Light in Limbo and Roofus the Curious Roo. We are big fans of his work.
Luke and Janine
Matt Hill is an artist of extraordinary talent. I love his work and have purchased a number of pieces. Matt was great to deal with and a big help when shipping his work to us in Switzerland.
Pete Lausberg
Matt Hill is a very talented artist and we are thrilled to have one of his pieces as a highlight on our property. He was a pleasure to deal with and we cannot recommend him highly enough.
Jane Davies
Awesome job by a great guy. Our giraffes Tilly and Lewy have pride of place in the front garden.
Syd and Vicki Bone
Matt Hill's woven metal screen and beautiful light sculptures have captured the hearts of AYA Niseko guests. We are delighted to have Matt's art here in Japan.
Ben Kerr, CEO Niseko Real Estate
Matt took our vision and tuned a dead space into one of the most loved and use areas of our home. His beautiful fire pit has definitely become a talking point for friends and family.
Clint and Georgia
Biased by my love of our Australian emblem, the kangaroo, Matt has captured the poses and gestures of these wonderful marsupials perfectly. Constructed beautifully in a factual sense that seems to bring the form of the roo into the digital age. Congratulations Matt.
Graeme Wilkie, Sculptor and 2018 Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show judge

Q: Reading Values Via Serial Port I am working on a project that involves reading data from an Arduino Uno over serial port. In Arduino IDE, I observe that I am successfully printing values over the serial port in the following format:
  Serial.print(x, DEC);
  Serial.print(' ');
  Serial.print(y, DEC);
  Serial.print(' ');
  Serial.println(z, DEC);

e.g.:
2 4 -41
4 8 -32
10 5 -50
...etc.
Then, I have a program written in C using XCode to read these values as float data types. However, upon running the program in terminal, the program appears to be stuck (no values are read, and I must use ctrl+C to exit).
Any ideas what I might be doing wrong? Below is my code. As of now, I am just using a for loop to test whether I am actually reading in these values. Let me know if you need more information. Thanks for your help.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <ApplicationServices/ApplicationServices.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <fcntl.h>

// buffer for data
float buffer[100];

int main(int argc, const char* argv[])
{

    // open serial port
    int port;

    port = open("/dev/tty.usbmodem1411", O_RDONLY);
    if (port == -1)
    {
        printf("Unable to open serial port.");
    }

    // testing read of data

    fcntl(port, F_SETFL, FNDELAY);

    for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
    {

        read(port, buffer, 12);
        printf("%.2f %.2f %.2f\n", buffer[3*i], buffer[3*i+1], buffer[3*i+2]);
    }

    // close serial port
    close(port);

    return 0;
}

A: What are you attempting with
    read(port, buffer, 12);
    printf("%.2f %.2f %.2f\n", buffer[3*i], buffer[3*i+1], buffer[3*i+2]);

??? buffer will contain string data, like following (not floating points):
{'2', ' ', '4', '0', ' ', '-', '4', '1', 0x0D, 0x0A, '4', ' ', '8'}
//0    1    2    2    3    4    5    6     7     8    9    10   11

Your first mistake is reading exactly 12 bytes - each line may have different number of bytes. Second mistake is trying to format a char as a float. Even printf may get invalid data as it expects 3 floats and you are supllying 3 chars.
So, you need to parse your input data! Some direction:
#include <stdio.h>

float input[3];

int main(int argc, const char* argv[]) {
    FILE *port;
    port=fopen("/dev/tty.usbmodem1411", "r"); //fopen instead, in order to use formatted I/O functions
    if (port==NULL) {
        printf("Unable to open serial port.");
        return 1; //MUST terminate execution here!
    }
    for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
        fscanf(, "%f %f %f", &input[0], &input[1], &input[2]);
        printf("%.2f %.2f %.2f\n", input[0], input[1], input[2]);
    }
    fclose(port);
    return 0;

}

Home News Apple released iOS 10.1 Beta Version 1 with Portrait Mode
Apple released iOS 10.1 Beta Version 1 with Portrait Mode
Apple iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are different from their processors in many ways. Apart from design, lightning port, and other features, Apple has also made a lot of changes in the OS itself. Apple has finally launched the 3rd beta version of the iOS 10. Dubbed as iOS 10.1 Beta, the new version of the operating system is now available for Beta testers and developers.
What does Portrait mode do?
Last month, in the first Beta version, the company introduced a toggle setting that was called Auto-Play message effect and was available in Accessibility. It reduced motion by disabling the message bubble and screen effects.
According to the new release notes, the 10.1 Beta includes a fix for that setting as well. Developers are now able to access barometric pressure data for iPad Air 2, mini 4 and Pro.
Apart from that, Apple also introduced the Portrait mode. One of the main camera features that were meant to be in the camera section was the Portrait mode. Apple flaunted the feature in the launch event but it was missing from the initial iOS 10.
Thanks to the Dual camera setup, the new portrait mode allows you to click sharper images of people as well as objects. It provides the well-known bokeh effect to the images that gives the blur effect to the background. The blur effect is really hard to get in any of the available handsets in the market. Users often prefer to install some tweak apps to get the effect and end up destroying the original aesthetics of the image. The depth-of-field trick of this special mode adds life to the photographs.

The public Beta version of the iOS 10.1 is also available if anyone wants to test it. The only issue is that it is still under testing phase and may cause a number of issues in the phone.
It is always advised that if you are not a developer you should keep yourself restricted from downloading any Beta version of the OS. Wait for a few days so that the company launches the stable version and then enjoy the new features.

Over 20,000 AT&T workers in the South struck over weekend
Members of the Communications Workers of America (CWA) walk a picket line outside of an AT&T office Monday, Aug. 26, 2019, in Miami. CWA union members in the southeast went on strike Friday over unfair labor practices by management during negotiations for a new contract. (AP Photo/Lynne Sladky)
NEW YORK (AP) — More than 20,000 AT&T workers in nine Southern states went on strike over the weekend, saying that the telecommunications company isn't bargaining in good faith over a new contract.
The union, the Communications Workers of America, says AT&T isn't sending negotiators who have the authority to make decisions.
When asked if there will be service interruptions for customers, AT&T said that it's prepared for a strike. The workers who have walked off are technicians and customer service representatives for AT&T's "wireline" home and business internet and phone division, not its cellphone division.
AT&T says it disagrees with the union's claims of bad bargaining practices.
The AT&T workers are on strike in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee.
Telecom workers periodically go on strike, including about 17,000 AT&T workers in a one-day walkout in California and Nevada in 2017 and 39,000 Verizon workers who struck for six weeks in 2016.

BOOK REVIEW: 'The Final Revival Of Opal & Nev' Is A Faux Music History That Rocks
To say that The Final Revival of Opal & Nev is a sly simulacrum of a rock oral history is to acknowledge only the most obvious of this novel's achievements. Walton aspires to so much more in this story about music, race and family secrets that spans five decades. And, all the glitzy, quick-change narrative styles don't detract attention from the core emotional power of her story. I tell you, even many of the fake footnotes in this novel are moving.

We have designed this service for prospective homeowners, who are looking to purchase a property but want to understand more about the potential to extend. A member of our Architectural Team will visit the property with you to get a feel for the existing property and understand more about what you want to achieve. During the site visit, we will offer advice on planning feasibility, design options and we can also address any questions you have on the Design & Build process (eg. timelines). We will take some measurements and additional details which will enable us to offer you with quotes for both the Design & Build Phase.
How do I get access for the visit?
Depending on how far you are through the buying process, you will need to arrange access via the Estate Agent. This is where our flexible appointments come in useful, as we're arranging an appointment with you, the agent and us.
How long does the visit last?
This completely depends on you – we would never leave you with unanswered questions. Depending on the size of the property and the scope of works, site visits can last anywhere between 20 minutes and an hour.
How long will it take to receive the quote for the Build?
We understand that time is of the essence when it comes to buying a property, so we issue quotes within 1 working day of the site visit.
Can I start the Design Phase before I exchange or complete?
Yes absolutely. Purchasing a property can be time consuming so it can be beneficial to get stuck into the Design Phase during this period. However, and for simplicity, we would advise that you are the legal owner before a planning application is submitted.

© New York by Serge Ramelli, SMALL FORMAT EDITION, published by teNeues, www.teneues.com. TIMES SQUARE BY DAY, © 2015 YellowKorner Editions, Photo © Serge Ramelli. All rights reserved.
Black-and-white urban photography has a unique effect: It can lend a historical feel or bring out perspectives and surfaces in a special way. Serge Ramelli's New York photos do both—and much more. With his film director's eye, he searches out locations using parameters that evoke a specific atmosphere and build tension. The New York skyline or typical New York street scenes are stylized into a stage—but a stage where nothing is required to happen. Their impressiveness is so heightened that a movie automatically plays in the viewer's head. With New York boasting so much history and evocativeness, nothing more is needed. Although he is similar to Ansel Adams in technique and expression, Serge Ramelli is a contemporary photographer in every sense of the word, constantly experimenting with new technical options.
After Paris, New York was Serge Ramelli's choice of second instalment for his photographic diptych of contemporary cityscapes, and it's certainly no coincidence that the photographer selected this super-sized city as the subject of his second book. How could he fail—he, the self-taught photographer—to pay homage to this, the city of the willing, the self-made men, and the resourceful? And how could this great lover of cinema have chosen any other backdrop or any other film location than that of the Big Apple, made immortal by more than a century of legendary cinematography? An eager lover of dramatic imagery, Serge Ramelli is constantly on the lookout for spectacular lighting, whether natural or artificial, and with its gigantic advertising and garish boards New York is an almost perfect city for such a hunt.


Another Philippine TRO saga? (Philippines) | Dominic J. Nardi, Jr.
Just under a year ago, the Philippine Supreme Court issued a TRO preventing authorities from detaining former president Arroyo. Now, Arroyo stands accused of plunder along with 9 other defendants in a trial before the Sandiganbayan (anticorruption court). Arroyo and her co-defendants are accused of misusing funds from the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office.
According to reports yesterday, the Supreme Court issued a TRO enjoining the court from issuing an arrest warrant for Arroyo. Allegedly, a TRO for one of Arroyo's co-defendnats was to have covered her claims as well.
Today, according to PhilStar, the Supreme Court backtracked and has said Arroyo's request for a TRO must be considered separately. Regardless, the Sandiganbayan had already continued the trial assuming the TRO did not cover Arroyo.

Not sure if you are addicted to drugs or alcohol. How do you know if you are addicted and when do you need to go to addiction rehab?
That's a tough question to ask yourself, and it's even tougher to answer. But, if you take hard drugs or think that you drink too much alcohol, then you should spend some time thinking about it.
Ultimately, illicit drugs such as cocaine, ecstasy or heroin are always unsafe to take because their contents are never really known. And, even if they are pure and untainted, the drugs themselves can cause people to die. For this reason, if you find that you simply cannot completely stop taking these types of drugs, then it is safe to assume that you have an addiction and that you should seek help.
You miss days at work or need to cancel meetings or events because you are too "hung over" or drunk.
You drink alcohol to get drunk.
You find it hard to stop drinking after consuming one or two drinks and need to keep drinking.
Friends or family are telling you that you may have an alcohol problem.
You wake up in unfamiliar places, or sleep with people while intoxicated.
If one or more of these describes you, then you should at least discuss the possibility that you either be an alcoholic or that you are becoming one.

Maia Sandu – the president who loves justice and human dignity
Daniela Palade Teodorescu
The President of the Republic of Moldova has more and more admirers in Romania as well. Her courage, tenacity, perseverance in upholding her values in an extremely difficult and hostile period gives many of us the hope that one day we could have such a president in Romania. Competent, empathetic, uncompromising, but attentive to people's needs and authentic in events. Her fragility, feminity and elegance give the feeling of comfort, relief, true compassion. I admired her decency in speech, tone, body language, as well as her perfect alignment of elegant outfits with the solemnity of the moments.
It was impressing the discreet presence of the Martisor on the lapel of her deux-pieces in the critical moments when the war in Ukraine was blowing directly on the coast of Moldova. A glimmer of normality in a wild world. A real anchor of hope.
In 2016, when she first ran for the presidency of the Republic of Moldova, her opponents spread numerous discriminatory messages against Maia Sandu – that she is not married, she has no children, she doesn't meet the "standards" imposed by a deeply patriarchal society. Messages were quite sensitive for the electorate of that time. The elegance of her reaction to these discriminatory messages and the perseverance to continue her mission built, step by step, the growing admiration of the supporters, but also new followers, among the generations of young people in the country, but also in the diaspora, who consider her as an angel who will save the country from poverty and moral degradation.
She is the president who sincerely deplores the depopulation of villages and towns, the result of the country's corruption, all the disappointments that made the young people leave. She wants to change something in today's economic situation to change the mentality of young people and give them reasons to stay or return to the country.
She longs for her childhood when there were many children, many people around her. She describes warmly the days when parents had much more time for their children. She admits that had no aspiration or dream of high social positions, no ambitions to reach the top, but she always had a spirit of social justice; she loves justice, fairness and human dignity.
She speaks with empathy about the citizens she represents and always puts them at the forefront when she receives congratulations for her work, without assuming about her results. She is not sensitive to praise, which she "diverts" to the team. An important goal is to persuade valuable professionals to join the team. She is very open in her relations with the press, appreciates transparency as a governing value and promotes it in her public appearances.
The brave president is preparing to turn 50 in the spring. Born in Risipeni village, Falesti district, she attended secondary school in her village.
In 1994, she graduated from the Academy of Economic Studies of Moldova, Faculty of Management. Then, from 1995 to 1998, she studied at the Academy of Public Administration in Chisinau and graduates Master's in International Relations.
Maia Sandu worked as a consultant, Deputy Chief of Staff at the Ministry of Economy, worked as an economist at the World Bank Office in Chisinau, was Director of the General Directorate of Macroeconomic Policy and Development Programs at the Ministry of Economy and Trade, then a consultant on various projects in the field of good governance and public administration reform.
In 2010, Maia Sandu graduated with a Master's degree in public policy, after completing her studies at the Kennedy School of Public Administration at Harvard University USA. From June 2010 to July 2012, she was an Adviser to the Executive Director of the World Bank in Washington.
Between July 2012 and July 2015, Maia Sandu became Minister of Education in the Government of the Republic of Moldova. In May 2016, she founded the Action and Solidarity Party, a position she held until December 2020 and which she resigned after winning the presidential election.
Between June and November 2019, Maia Sandu was appointed Prime Minister of the Republic of Moldova.
On December 24, 2020, Maia Sandu became President of the Republic of Moldova, after the elections of November 15, 2020, when the second round of the presidential elections took place.

Music Video Monday: David Bowie – "The Stars (Are Out Tonight)"
The Thin White Duke spoofs a sad, aging version of himself
Elina Shatkin
If you're looking for an onscreen avatar for otherworldly, gender-bending rock star David Bowie you couldn't find a more perfect fit than otherworldly, gender-bending actress Tilda Swinton. The resemblance is so striking it's like they were separated at birth. But in Floria Sigismondi's video for "The Stars (Are Out Tonight)," the two aren't siblings or emissaries from an alien race, they're a fossilized married couple.
In the video for the second single (check out the first one here) from the Thin White Duke's new album, The Next Day (it doesn't hit stores unti March 12 but the entire album is streaming on iTunes for free), Bowie plays an aging version of himself and Swinton is his bouffant-topped wife. They're content with their dull lives in their dull mansion — until they're tormented by some teenage wildlife. Are the kids in their house or merely in their heads? The video spoofs clichés about Los Angeles, celebrity, and tabloid culture while casting a nostalgic look at the chaos of youth. On a meta-level, it's also a cautionary tale about an alluring music video paired with an exceedingly forgettable song. In "The Stars (Are Out Tonight)" Bowie is shown doing something he's never done before: asking the neighbors to turn the music down.
