Another gathering of vultures
By Ochereome Nnanna
MY people say: "whenever a person wakes up is his morning". Let me say "Happy New Year" to you on the first outing of this column in 2017. May it be well with all of us throughout this year and beyond. Whether we are friends or foes, we are all Nigerians. Even those agitating for Biafra are still Nigerians until their dream or aspiration comes true.
I am directing a special well-wishing to President Muhammadu Buhari. As you all know, I am not one of his fans; never was, even when he was contesting because I did not see him as the man we needed to move forward after sixteen years of our renascent democracy. Buhari has exceeded the worst of my expectations in at least two directions.
The first is the discriminatory manner he has deployed the armed forces and security personnel to maintain law and order. He has tackled Boko Haram with decisive approach, with visible results, but he unleashed the same army on unarmed and peaceful Biafra agitators, fraudulently branding them "terrorists". His wrong-headed approach to the Niger Delta conundrum reawakened militancy there, and his deployment of the armed forces to harass innocent villagers in the creeks has not fetched any dividend in calming the treasure base of Nigeria for easy exploitation.
His kinsmen, the heavily-armed Fulani herdsmen (or militia), have unleashed terror on innocent, defenceless indigenous peoples in the Middle Belt and Southern Nigeria, and he pretended not to hear, see, read or know about it. Instead, when security personnel were deployed they appeared to go to supervise the carnage and provide cover for the murderers against those who might resort to self-defence. I never expected that a Nigerian leader could sink so low at this juncture of our national development.
The second direction was in the war against corruption. Most well-meaning Nigerians support Buhari's resolve to fight corruption. Almost two years into his tenure, Buhari's anti-corruption antics have increasingly turned shambolic. It is now obvious that all he wants to do are as follows: (a) grind the opposition into the dust to give himself and his political platform dominant ascendancy, (b) recover as much of the alleged stolen public funds by officials of the immediate past People's Democratic Party (PDP) regime to fund his governmental activities (c) protect his political acolytes and those former PDP flotsam who have decamped to his political party into order to reinforce objective "A" above.
I had expected Buhari to exhibit zero tolerance to corruption and deal decisively with it even if his children were found culpable. As it is now, if the prayer of the gathering vultures comes true and we lose President Buhari, history will not be kind to him as an anti-corruption fighter.
I don't think Buhari has done well as an elected president or leader. But I concede that there Nigerians who think differently. As a Christian, I prefer that our President should return to his office as scheduled on Monday, 6th of February 2017, exactly one week from today. I want him to have rested and be strong in spirit, body and mind to continue the work he applied for and was given by Nigerians at the polls in March 2015. A Christian is commanded to pray for his enemies; even wicked rulers, and not to wish them dead. God is saddened when a sinner dies in his sin, but there is great rejoicing in heaven when a sinner repents.
I would rather that Buhari returns to work, physically and spiritually fortified to realise the great mistakes he has wallowed in in the past twenty months and mend his ways. I would like him to stop being a president for his "97%" but to also integrate the other "5%" in an inclusive government, obeying the Federal Character demands of the Constitution. I would like him to stop being a mere Fulani President or Arewa President, or Muslim President; to stop protecting the interest of foreign and local Fulani cattle owners while allowing them freedom to continue their armed ethnic cleansing and occupation of indigenous communities. I would like him to be a genuine Nigerian President.
Even if Buhari chooses to continue as before, let him go ahead and live to see how Nigerians sort him out in due time. If he dies now, he will manage to become a hero to some people; the select Nigerians who he had represented as President.
I do not see much justification for the President's death rumour. The announcement of his vacation contained very precise information: he would be in the UK. While there, he would undergo routine medicals. He would resume on 6th February, 2017. He has handed over to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo to act as President, and he has notified the Senate President and Speaker of the House of Representatives of his absence as the constitution requires. Late President Umaru Yar' Adua's final medical holiday to Saudi Arabia on 23rd November 2009 was not as neat as this: no dates were attached to anything.
I'd rather wait till 6th February. If Buhari does not return and there is no information as to when he would, then I too will become worried for him.
For now, I see Buhari's vacation for what his officials call it: a luxury vacation. The President is living an opulent lifestyle in the midst of recession, hunger and suffering among the ordinary people. He is enjoying his old age and the fruits of his four presidential runs. This is evident in the things he and his family members wear, their junkets overseas where they splurge on our scarce foreign exchange. He is running what he calls a government of "Change" but change does not begin with him or those within his immediate orbit.
Last year, Buhari submitted a budget of N3.9 billion for the State House Medical Clinic, which was almost N800 million more than all the Federal-owned Specialist and Teaching Hospitals put together. This was apart from the personal entitlements of officials of the Presidency and their family members. Here is a President whose party, the All Progressives Congress, APC, promised Nigerians that on assuming of power they would abolish "medical tourism" for government officials and channel funds for the massive rehabilitation of our public hospitals. It is up to Nigerians to check if the allocation to the State House Clinic (compared to those given to govern hospitals for the use of ordinary Nigerians) reflected that promise.
It is up to Nigerians to decide whether, after such a huge allocation to the Aso Villa Clinic a "routine" medical check-up abroad is justifiable. Let's bear in mind that two such "vacations" have taken place within the past six months. Buhari, who was fond of travelling to his hometown, Daura, every other weekend to speak with his cows in those early days when he came to power, now prefers to frequent Europe and America, even in spite of the record cold weather there which is not suitable for elders, especially those needing medical attention.
Buhari and his people are not sharing in the sacrifices of the ordinary Nigerian, going by their sumptuous lifestyle and budgetary allocations to service same. There is little of the "buy Nigeria" mantra around our Presidential Villa tenants. Otherwise, there is nothing that Buhari and his folks go to enjoy in the UK, Germany or America that he cannot find a local substitute for if they believed in patronising local goods and services. This is the area that should be of primary concern to Nigerians.
I have a feeling that those who are expecting Buhari to drop dead soon have a very long, frustrating wait to do. When vultures gather and their objects of interests refuses to die, they will fly away, one after the other.

Q: Nested IF Statement… I have a first scheduled date of 9/10/21.  I want to derive two checkpoint dates from one statement...
The first depending on the amount of time that has passed until the acceptance date.  I already have set up a formula for days past due...
 =IF(A2<>"",TODAY()-A2,"")     , which results in…

DATE    DAYS PAST DUE
9/10    2

Building upon that…  Continue from that point and count how many days until the 2nd checkpoint has been made.
I'm thinking I should use a nested IF statement.  But I don't know how to make the 1st IF statement.   Something similar to...
 =IF(AND(**???...**,IF(A2<>"",TODAY()-A2,"")

Ben Proud took Britain's second gold medal of the World Swimming Championships 2017 in Budapest.
Less than an hour after Adam Peaty's 100m Breaststroke gold, the Plymouth Leander swimmer lowered his own British record for victory in the Men's 50m Butterfly.
Proud had already lowered the national marker once in 2017, setting the previous record of 22.80 at the British Swimming Championships in April.
But he edged past that time again in Hungary, clocking 22.75 to take the title from lane 6.
Proud said: "After last night I might not have looked in pole position but deep down I knew that if I got the start right I was in the mix for a medal.
"The past 24 hours have really just been about a mental battle. I needed to get my head in the right place so I can go into this race and not even think about medals.
"It was all about that first 15m. After I nailed that start I just let my body takeover and I switched my mind off.
"It took me a while to realise I'd won. I was shocked at first but it's a dream come true. At first I was waiting for someone else to start celebrating but it didn't happen and then I saw my name.
Silver went to Brazil's Nicholas Santos (22.79) and bronze to Andrii Govorow of Ukraine (22.84).
Olympic silver medallist Siobhan Marie O'Connor went into a tough race for the women's 200m IM final after a season's best performance of 2:09.72 in the semis.
The 21-year old finished less than a second from the podium positions in a tight final, touching seventh in 2:10.41.
Hungary's Katinka Hosszu, who O'Connor finished behind in the same event at the Rio 2016 Olympics, took the gold medal in 2:07.00.

Conversely, using our corneal topography equipment, we can ensure that your contact lenses enjoy a perfect fit or gain insight into how to better treat your dry eye symptoms in order to improve your quality of life.


Maybe the best place to get started is figuring out what's stopping you in the first place.
Here are some questions to help you identify your issues. And some ideas on solving them. Let's get started!
Do you find the whole idea of downsizing overwhelming? Break the task down into manageable pieces. Schedule an hour or so and give yourself a discrete task, like cleaning out one drawer, or a single shelf. When you're finished, or the hour is over, you're done for the day. Then, schedule more time for another day. As you do more you'll find that the job gets easier and you get through more stuff faster.
Do you feel guilty letting go of perfectly good stuff? Just because something is perfectly good doesn't mean it's perfectly good for you. Lots of things have potential to be used. But why hold on to something if you aren't making use of it? Whether you've got clothes you longer wear, books you don't read, or kitchen equipment that never sees the light of day, holding on to things you don't use only keeps them from being of use to someone else. So let go of the guilt. And then let go of that stuff!
Are you reluctant to toss something you may need in the future? Imagine having a drawer filled with new typewriter ribbons. Blank cassette tapes. Empty floppy disks. And new fax machine paper. You held on to those things because you thought you might need them in the future. But the future changed before you could use them. Even if technology doesn't make the things you're holding obsolete, chances are small you will need something you haven't used for a long time. Let those things go. If you need that certain thing in the future, you can buy, borrow or rent it then.
Are you attached and afraid to let go of things you love? If there are things you really love, then keep them! But chances are, you aren't attached to things as much as they're attached to you. They're stuck in your closets. Filling your drawers. And taking up floor space. They've been there so long you don't even see them. This is when it makes sense to take a page out of Marie Kondo's book and ask which of the things you own really bring you joy. If you're attached just because something has been around for a long time it may be time to detach it and pass it along to someone else.
Do you feel you have an obligation to keep stuff? Things aren't people. Just because someone gave you something (probably because they thought you'd like it) doesn't mean you are duty-bound to keep it. You can appreciate their intentions — and let go of the things you don't love/use, too. The same goes for things you've bought for yourself. If you don't love it or use it, there's no disgrace in letting it go.
Do you feel you can't do it by yourself? The emotional side of downsizing can be challenging. (That's why it's so much easier to go through someone else's stuff.) So if you know you can't go it alone make a pact with a friend that you'll help them do their stuff, if they'll help you with yours. Or, ask for professional help from people like us. Senior Move Management has become a certified profession because down- sizing is a big job. If you need assistance, we're happy to help!

Excerpt: Darkness Surrendered
Ana felt Elijah tense beneath her. He was awake.
His body hadn't so much as twitched, his breathing hadn't changed, and his heart rate hadn't sped up. But there was a vibrating tension about him, a readiness… A warrior in battle, not giving away anything.
She lifted her head to look at him, trying to move slowly so as not to trigger him into another manic episode. His scarred brown eyes were glazed, unseeing, but they were focused on her face, as if he could see her through some deeper force than his vision.
Her heart started to race and she hesitated, not sure what to do. Was he about to freak out again? Or was he sane? "Um…" She licked her lips nervously. "I'm Ana Matthews… but I guess you already know that."
Elijah blinked several times, the movement awkward and jerky, as if his eyelids were rasping painfully over his damaged eyes. Her heart ached at the sight of all those raw scars on his face, as if he'd tried to claw out his own eyes rather than see the hell he'd been facing. Was she responsible for that? Had it been her illusions that he'd tried to defend against by blinding himself?
Tears filled her eyes, tears of guilt, regret and empathy, and she instinctively laid her hand on his cheek. "Oh, Elijah," she whispered, forgetting to fear him, ignoring all Gideon's warnings about how Elijah might be so violent and insane when he finally awoke from his coma. "I'm so sorry."
He blinked again, wincing at the agonizing movement as he tried to see her.
"No, no," she whispered. "Don't torment yourself. Here." She clasped his wrist and placed his palm against her cheek. "See me this way."
He closed his eyes and let his hand drift across her face. He moved his fingers over her skin, over her cheekbone, her eyelashes, the bridge of her nose, his callused fingers so
light against her skin.
Elijah touched her mouth, tracing the outline of her lips. Heat began to swirl inside Ana as he gave a small nod. "Good." The word came out as a grinding noise, and her heart tightened at the grimace of pain on his face.
But God, to hear his voice again, his real voice, not the whisper in her mind. It burned right to her soul, like the forbidden heat of a sensual danger designed to strip her defenses and possess her completely. She swallowed, suddenly nervous, no longer feeling like a woman trying to protect a man. Instead, she felt like a female being drawn ruthlessly into the spell of the male destined to consume her. "Elijah—"
His arm snaked around her, trapping her he pulled her down against him. He buried his face in the curve of her neck with a deep groan of contentment that made desire pulse through her relentlessly.
Ana froze as he inhaled deeply, and she knew he was examining her scent, memorizing every detail about her body. "It's me," she whispered. "You know me."
He blew out, his lips feathering her neck with heat.
Her skin felt like it was on fire. She became aware of his scent, the raw, fierce pulse of danger and death, mixed with something softer. Vulnerability. Fear. Desperation. Dear God, his suffering was so intense, filling her with the agony of his despair, of his confusion. Had she done that to him? Was all of that her fault? How much worse would she make it if she stayed with him, if he realized who she was? "This really isn't a good idea." She set her hands on his shoulders and gently tried to push him away. "It's the sheva bond making you want me. You actually hate—" She stumbled over the words, regret thick and bitter. "You hate me, Elijah. As soon as your mind settles again, you'll remember."
His hands snapped to her hips, trapping her against him. "Mine," he growled. His eyes were still closed, unable to defeat the pain of the scar tissue, but his hands were burning over her, as if he were stripping her clothes off and branding her with every touch.
"Oh, God," she whispered. "Don't pull me into this. I don't have many defenses left." Her heart had bled for this man so many times, and now he held her like she was his salvation, his anchor, the only thing he had to hold onto.
She'd already seen the way he looked at her, with pure revulsion for who she was and what she'd done to him. She knew it would come again the moment he regained his senses. She couldn't let herself fall into his touch, into his need, and then survive it when he took it away from her. He wouldn't survive it either, being sucked into her nightmare. "We can't lie to each other," she whispered as she grabbed his wrist, trying to stop him. "This isn't real. Please, don't do this to me. To us."
"Real," he whispered, sliding his hands beneath her shirt, flattening one palm over her belly. "You're not real?" His voice cracked, and he gripped her sides with sudden intensity. "You have to be real—"
"I am, I am," she soothed quickly. "You're not having illusions. I'm right here." She knew he'd been tormented by illusions. He'd been thrust mercilessly into the world of uncertainty, unable to know what nightmares were real, and which were fake. Men had died from the insanity the illusions caused, from the inability to know truth from delusion, and she knew Elijah's greatest tool right now was reality. She couldn't take that away from him. "I'm not your imagination," she said.
Elijah opened his eyes again, straining to see her, but there was no recognition in those scarred eyes. "I can't see you," he croaked. "You're not real—"
"I am!" Ana grabbed his hands and squeezed. "Feel my touch," she ordered. "Hear my voice. I'm here, dammit! You're not being messed with anymore!"
"You're real?" His voice softened with awe and disbelief. "This is you?" He ran his hands over her stomach, her ribs, and desire leapt through her.
Ana leaned her head back and closed her eyes, her body trembling at the sensation of his hands on her body. God, how long had it been since a man's hands had touched her with kindness? Not just kindness. Reverence. Adoration. Callused hands that would never hurt her, no matter what she did. Hands that would wrap around her at night and keep her safe. Strong, masculine hands that would seduce her until she was his, forever…
Oh, God. What was she thinking? She couldn't do this, not to him, not to herself. Her only job was to help him regain his sanity, to bring him back so he could fulfill the mission he was meant to do. She had to stop him from weaving this web around them, from drawing them both into the dangerous attraction between them, the one that was only about their sheva bond, not reality, not the truth about how much damage there was between them.
"Elijah! We don't have time for this. Your team needs you upstairs. You have to save the damn world." She winced at how she sounded a little too breathless and sensual. Desperate and panicked, yes, but also… intimate. She cleared her throat and leaned back, away from his face still nuzzling her throat. "If you were in your right mind, you'd never touch me like this. You despise me and I—"
"No," he growled. His hands slid up her back beneath her shirt, and he pressed against her bare shoulder blades, pulling her toward him. Toward his mouth.
Anticipation hummed through Ana even as she stiffened, fighting the urges racing through her. God, how she wanted to lose herself in him. "Dammit, Elijah. Stop!"
Her body was trembling with desire, with nervousness, and the need to leap off his lap and bolt. But she knew he'd snap if she broke physical contact with him, and she didn't know if she'd be able to bring him back from his delusions and insanity again. She owed him, and she knew that her soul was already too black to survive causing Elijah's death for a second time. "Elijah—" Her palms went to his bare chest to try to block him from pulling her any closer, and the heated spark was almost instant.
They both froze, and she could feel his heart pounding beneath her palms.
Mine. His possessive growl echoed in her mind, sending spirals of fire and heat racing through her.
Yours. The word popped into Ana's mind before she could stop it.
The moment the word formed in her head, Elijah jerked upright and yanked her against him. His hand roughly palmed the back of her head to bring her down at the right angle, not giving her a chance to resist or to stop him. He sank his mouth onto hers, and her lips parted instantly for him… and then she felt the beast consume him. His need pulsed at her, shredding all her resistance in a heartbeat.
She barely stifled a scream as Elijah shifted and rolled her beneath him, covering her with his body. His kisses were frantic, his mouth almost violent in its assault on her. His hands were all over her, her stomach, her breasts, his fingers bruising and desperate. She could feel his desperation for her, and she knew he might hurt her.
And she didn't care.
Hot desire rose hard and fast inside her, and she threw her arms around his neck, holding him tightly as her own need met his. God, she'd needed this for so long. Not just any touch. His touch. She knew it in every fiber of her being that he had been inside her soul since they'd met. We will destroy each other. The thought was like a cold hit to her gut and she tried to break the kiss. "I can't—"
He tugged her shirt up and caught her breast in his mouth, a decadent, raging kiss of desperate desire that eviscerated her resistance to him. His fervent passion for her was tearing at her soul with every kiss.
Darkness slithered along the edges of her mind, a danger so vivid and poisonous that her soul recoiled and she tried to pull back. Elijah growled and deepened his kiss, and she realized that the hell she'd sensed was in Elijah's mind, a demonic darkness trying to overtake his sanity. She knew Elijah was trying to outrun it by sinking himself into her body and her mind, seeking solace in their touch, in the kisses.
She was the oasis, the sanity, the beauty that could bring him back from his insanity, from the demons in his mind. A sense of absolute rightness filled Ana with heat and warmth at the realization that she could help him. The hell she would face later didn't matter anymore. Elijah needed her, and as his soul mate, she could help him. I'm here for you.
His energy reached for her through the nightmare that beat at him. His soul wrapped itself around her as he fought for his sanity and control. His relentless need for her consumed both his mind and hers…
Yes, Elijah. Take me. Whatever you need from me, it's yours. She wrapped her arms around his neck, gasping as he kissed her breasts. A growl ripped from this throat, an untamed sound of possession and domination as he lowered his hips between her thighs. His hips began to pump, his erection slamming into her through her jeans.
Desire raged through her, sweeping her up and away from all the anguish she'd been carrying for so long. In his arms, there was nothing left of the woman who'd hurt so many people. Gone was the debilitating guilt and grim awareness of the monster she was. The aching loneliness, the constant fear, the incessant terrors…all gone, cradled in the strong palms of this courageous warrior. Instead, there was simply beauty and passion, a sense of being loved and desired, of being treasured. Yes, she whispered, her heart too full of emotion to dare stop him. She wanted more of this moment, even though she knew she didn't deserve it, even though she knew it would all be torn apart the moment he recovered enough to remember who she was.
His body was rigid under her touch, and she felt every cut, every wound under her hands. There was nowhere to hold him without hurting him more. He shouted and thrust harder, and suddenly she couldn't think anymore, his need for her calling out an answering yearning in her. His body was so hot, his skin serrated and broken, his muscles rock hard beneath her touch, sliding under his skin.
Ana arched her back, her body reaching for him, for his touch, for the heat in his hands and the fire in his kisses until it wasn't just about his desperation, but hers as well. His hand went to her jeans and he fumbled with them, trying to get them undone as his thrusts grew more frantic, more forceful, his erection slamming through the denim into her most sensitive spot.
Utter rightness swelled inside her, consuming her, until the fire began to lick down her limbs, igniting every inch of her until the sensations exploded, overwhelming her soul and her body. She screamed Elijah's name and his deep roar mixed with hers, his body convulsing against her as he drove again and again, his hands braced on the floor by her head, his attempt to get her pants off lost in the blazing inferno consuming them both. He went rigid above her, and then he collapsed, his body sinking onto hers, his chest flush against the bare skin of her breasts, his hips stilled between hers, his breathing raw and harsh on her neck.
She locked her arms around his shredded back and entwined her feet along his thighs, holding him as tightly as she could as the final tremors faded.
Elijah shuddered against her and then his body finally went quiet.
Neither of them moved or spoke, though she was certain he was awake. They just lay together, intertwined, on the steel floor, recovering.
After a moment, she rested her elbow on his shoulder and pressed her hand to her eyes. Dear God. What had she done?
Elijah shifted suddenly. He rose swiftly to his hands and knees, his body going rigid. He straddled her, his palms braced on either side of her head, his legs outside hers. It was the position of a male defending his woman with his body. He stopped breathing, going utterly still, a predator waiting for the enemy to attack.
Ana froze, her heart pounding. What had he seen? Had his mind snapped? Elijah? What's wrong?
They're coming. His head was up and he was staring blindly past her with the intensity of an assassin who had targeted his mark.
Who? Demons? Some figment of his ravaged mind? Ana carefully twisted her head to look where he was looking. Relief rushed through her when she saw Quinn and Gideon standing inside the door. Elijah wasn't imagining things. He was all right! "I'm fine," she quickly told them, her cheeks heating with embarrassment at being caught in such an intimate position. Her pants were still on, but it was obvious what they'd been doing.
Neither warrior moved, and Elijah lowered himself slightly, his chest resting protectively against hers. She noticed then that Gideon and Quinn had their weapons out, and they were pointing them at Elijah. Oh, crap! No wonder Elijah was on the defensive. "Put your weapons away," she said quickly. "He's—"
Elijah's hand went to her mouth, silencing her.
Gideon swore and didn't sheathe his weapon. "We're going to grab you and pull you out from under him."
Oh, Dear God, that would make Elijah snap if they went after her! "No! Don't touch me! Don't take me away from him!"
Elijah tensed at her sharp tone, and he immediately shifted his weight to free his right arm. "No, Elijah." She fought to keep her voice calm. "They're your friends—" He called out his throwing star with a crack that reverberated against the steel wall, and she knew they were a split second away from a full battle, a battle which she knew would end only in death.

WHAT DOES GOD REALLY THINK?
To get into God's mind, you have to start from the beginning of the Bible. In Genesis, you can see He's thinking of creating, and does it step by step. And then He talks to someone, 'let us make man in our own image'. When you go further into the scriptures, you find that Jesus mentions something crucial; he says, he was there at the beginning, John 6:62. And then he says, the Father sent him, and afterwards he says, 'I'm going back to the Father in heaven'. He is currently seated at the right hand of God the Father.
When you keep on reading, you get to a scripture in Isaiah, whereby God says to us, 'as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my thoughts higher than yours'…Isaiah 55:9. So here we learn, his thoughts are far higher than ours. This includes his plan, intelligence, generosity, judgement, kindness, love, patience, forgiveness, and justice.
Before Jesus, he uses prophets such as Abraham, to get glimpse of his thinking. When it came to Moses, he speaks to him directly by giving him the Ten Commandments and explains why.
You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of worship.
You shall not give a false testimony against anyone.
You shall not covet, or set desire on something that belongs to someone else. (Admiring something is one thing but desiring and setting your heart on something that belongs to someone else is another; it causes insecurity). Desiring something we don't have is Satan's trap of getting us unhappy, in other words to stop us appreciating what we have already been given by God.
And the scripture says, 'do what is right and good in God's sight, so that it may go well with you'…Deut. 6:18. Most people would agree that breaking God's commandments have consequences. All the commandments have one thing in common – Love. (Loving God and your fellow human being). And where there is love, there is respect.
Without the Bible, we wouldn't have known the truth about God, or to understand exactly what happened long time ago. So much is revealed in the New Testament and the Old Testament. We learn how he chose the Israelites (descendants of the twelve sons of Jacob) as the first fruits. Even when he does that, he had already planned from the beginning to send his own begotten Son to rescue mankind from Satan's control. So Yahweh decided that the only way a human can be forgiven of sin, is through his Son.
Jesus said, the Father is in me, for every thing he said, came from God. The people who saw Jesus in person had a special opportunity, because seeing Jesus was like seeing God, John 12:45. Jesus also said, he is the only one who saw and knew the Father. Those who love him and put the Bible into practice with a sincere heart will get to know him and the Father, and in the end will inherit eternal life. He said, not everyone who says to me Lord, Lord will enter into the kingdom of heaven only those who do the will of my Father in heaven. Matt.7:21. And what's the will of God? It is to do what pleases him.
So if anyone wants to know the real God, the one who created the world, they have to ask Jesus to open their mind. Luke 24:45. The question is; does God want every human being to believe and read the Bible. The Holy Spirit says, 'Yes'. Why? Because it holds the words of his Son, whom he has appointed to be above all, for in him there was no sin or error. Does Almighty God want all people to listen to Jesus and do what he says? His Holy Spirit says, 'Yes'. (It was impossible for Jesus to lie). If anyone wants to know what God thinks, they have to get into Jesus' mind, in order for them to get a clear picture. Does Jesus want people to cause violence or terror in the name of religion? The Holy Spirit says, No. Does God want people to hate each other because of religion? Jesus says, 'No'. God wants people to get to know him in truth and love.
The scripture says 'a thousand years is a day to God. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish but everyone to come to repentance'. 2 Peter 3: 8-9. God hates any kind of sin; He wants us to focus on his plan through Jesus – to be saved. Because the scripture says, 'He is the image of invisible God, the first born over all creation. For by him all things in heaven and earth, visual and invisible…were created. Colossians 1:15-20.
When Jesus came, he opened the door for everyone to have access to God. He emphasised on having faith in God. Believing in Jesus and the Bible scriptures is an important process when it comes to know God. It dictates our actions and flourishes our minds. And if anyone wants to know whether God the Creator of Heaven and Earth wants them to read the Bible and follow its teachings, they have to ask Him in privacy and silence, and He'll answer them.
God has opened my mind to understand the scriptures, that's why Jesus wants me to share the message. I used to have questions, and God has answered most of my questions. For example, how did different races came about? He gave me an answer.
If you have any questions, be free to ask! Jesus will help me answer your questions, regarding God and the Bible.

As The Traitors Turn: Loretta Lynch Contradicts Comey Over Clinton Email Investigation
Seriously, this has become more like a soap opera, not a circus. The people entrusted to bring justice have done anything but that concerning Hillary Clinton and we already knew that Loretta Lynch was a Constitution violator before she stepped into the Department of Justice. James Comey has obvious problems with integrity as well. Now, Lynch is contradicting Comey's claim that he was to refer to the Clinton email investigation as a "matter," and it looks like one of them committed perjury.
This information comes as a result of her closed-door testimony before Congress.
In December 2018, Lynch denied the claims made by Comey in his 2017 testimony before congressional investigators that she instructed him to refer to the investigation into Clinton's unlawful use of an illegal email server and subsequent mishandling of classified information via that server.
"I did not," Lynch said. "I have never instructed a witness as to what to say specifically. Never have, never will."
"In the meeting that I had with the Director, we were discussing how best to keep Congress informed of progress and discuss requesting resources for the Department overall," she added. "We were going to testify separately. And the concern that both of us had in the meeting that I was having with him in September of 2015 was how to have that discussion without stepping across the Department policy of confirming or denying an investigation, separate policy from testifying."
"Obviously, we wanted to testify fully, fulsomely, and provide the information that was needed, but we were not at that point, in September of 2015, ready to confirm that there was an investigation into the email matter — or deny it," Lynch continued. "We were sticking with policy, and that was my position on that. I didn't direct anyone to use specific phraseology."
"When the Director asked me how to best to handle that, I said: What I have been saying is we have received a referral and we are working on the matter, working on the issue, or we have all the resources we need to handle the matter, handle the issue," Lynch concluded. "So that was the suggestion that I made to him."
Here's her testimony.
Lynch Interview 12-19-18 by on Scribd
However, that is not what Comey testified to in 2017.
At that time, Comey told Congress under oath, "The attorney general had directed me not to call it an investigation, but instead to call it a matter, which confused me and concerned me. That was one of the bricks in the load that led me to conclude, 'I have to step away from the department if we're to close this case credibly.'"
"The Clinton campaign, at the time, was using all kind of euphemisms — security review, matters, things like that, for what was going on," Comey added. "We were getting to a place where the attorney general and I were both going to have to testify and talk publicly about. And I wanted to know, was she going to authorize us to confirm we had an investigation?"
He then concluded, "…And she said, 'Yes, but don't call it that, call it a matter.' And I said, 'Why would I do that?' And she said, 'Just call it a matter.'"
Well, it looks like we have one of these people committing perjury. The question is, which one? My guess is that it's Lynch in this matter.
The next question we have to ask is, will the current DOJ have the stones to actually prosecute the perjury, or will they attempt to sweep this under the rug and use it for political fodder and driving people to the voting booths in 2020.
Time will tell, but we know that sooner or later, if it was Lynch, the outing on Comey and his coverup of Hillary Clinton's crimes is very close to being exposed with the FOIA lawsuit filed by Judicial Watch to obtain his talking points provided by the FBI in charts.

Q: How can i use sjoin to merge two GeoDataFrames without an error I am attempting to complete a spatial join between two GeodataFrames but this error comes up:
ValueError: You are trying to merge on object and int64 columns. If you wish to proceed you should use pd.concat.

This is my code/plan which got me to that error;
The two dataframes are named tag_df and cpr_df which contain Latitude and Longitude values so I firstly created a geodataframe for both;
tag_df['coordinates']=list(zip(tag_df.Longitude,tag_df.Latitude))
tag_df['coordinates']=tag_df['coordinates'].apply(Point)
tag_gdf=gpd.GeoDataFrame(tag_df,geometry='coordinates',crs={'init' :'epsg:4326'})

cpr_df['coordinates']=list(zip(cpr_df.sample_longitude_decimal,cpr_df.sample_latitude_decimal))
cpr_df['coordinates']=cpr_df['coordinates'].apply(Point)
cpr_gdf=gpd.GeoDataFrame(cpr_df,geometry='coordinates',crs={'init' :'epsg:4326'})

I then created a 5 nautical mile buffer for cpr_gdf:
cpr_gdf['p_buffer']=cpr_gdf['coordinates'].buffer(5*(1/60))

I now want to do a spatial join to find which tag_gdf values are in which buffered cpr_gdf values;
tag_in_cpr=sjoin(tag_gdf,cpr_gdf,how='left',op='within')

Which comes up with this error:
ValueError: You are trying to merge on object and int64 columns. If you wish to proceed you should use pd.concat

Any help would be great.

Charitable Giving in Hayden, Idaho
Find the right Charitable Giving attorney in Hayden, ID
Charitable giving in Hayden, Idaho is the donating of money or some other asset to a charitable cause.
Most charitable donors, while they're alive, give their gifts in the simplest way possible: handing the money or property they wish to donate over to the individual or group they want to help.
Some people, however, may be particularly dedicated to a certain cause, giving rise to a desire to donate a very large percentage of their assets to it. However, during life, this is often infeasible, since people have their own expenses that they have to cover. Thus, people often put off this donation until after their death.
If you decide to make a sizable donation to a charity that will not directly occur until after your death, the easiest (and most commonly-used) method is to simply leave the desired amount of money or property to the charitable organization in your will.
Charitable Trusts in Hayden, Idaho
Charitable trusts are typically used for very large donations, and can be made during the donor's life, or after their death.
The money is still technically owned by the donor, but the charity, serving as a trustee, has the right to use it for charitable purposes, with the exact scope of this right having been laid out in the trust agreement.
In Hayden, Idaho, a "charitable remainder trust" is the most common kind of charitable trust. This permits the money or property to immediately pass to the charity of the donor's choice, so they can benefit from it as soon as possible. The charity takes the money, and invests it (usually in reliable, but not necessarily high-yield, investments). They keep most of the income that this generates, but return a portion of it to the donor on a regular basis, for a set period of time. When this time runs out, the original donation, along with all the income it will generate, becomes the legal property of the charity, to dispose of as it pleases.
Do I Need a Hayden, Idaho Attorney?
When attempting to establish a charitable trust, or make another charitable donation, the first thing you should do is discuss this with the organization you want to make the donation to. They will probably be able to advise you on how to donate your money in the way that will be most useful to them. And, of course, you should speak with an attorney in Hayden, Idaho, who will typically be able to make the process much easier.

Strangers on Honeymoon is a 1936 British comedy film directed by Albert de Courville and starring Constance Cummings, Hugh Sinclair and Noah Beery, based on the 1926 novel The Northing Tramp by Edgar Wallace. Much of the film takes place in Canada. It was made by Gainsborough Pictures at the Lime Grove Studios in Shepherd's Bush. The film's sets were designed by the art director Ernö Metzner. Wallace's son (Bryan Edgar Wallace) also contributed to the film's screenplay, along with 5 other writers.

Plot

However, Quigley is secretly an English nobleman on the run for a murder he did not commit.

Егорлыцкий залив () — мелководный залив в северной части Чёрного моря между Кинбурнским полуостровом и полуостровом Егорлыцкий Кут. Залив омывает побережья Николаевской и Херсонской областей.

Длина Егорлыцкого залива 26 км, ширина возле входа 15 км, глубина до 5 м. Замерзает залив только в суровые зимы.

От Чёрного моря залив частично отделён островами Долгий (длина 7 км, ширина до 1 км) и Круглый. В прошлом оба эти острова были частью безымянной косы Кинбурнского полуострова.

Побережье залива входит в состав Черноморского биосферного заповедника. Часть акватории Егорлыцкого залива находится в составе Егорлыцкого заказника (образован в 1974 г.). В 1976 году залив был включён в перечень водно-болотных угодий международного значения, подпадающих под действие Рамсарской конвенции.

В 2008 году экспедиция Департамента подводного наследия (Института археологии НАН Украины) под руководством С. Воронова обнаружила на дне залива остатки древнегреческого поселения VII века. Существуют предположения, что поселение является легендарной Борисфенидой.

Происхождение названия
По-тюркски «Гяурлык» значит «дорога неверных». Запорожцы на берегах Егорлыцкого залива добывали соль и часто тревожили турок.
