Volvo XC40 Crowned WhatCar? & European Car of the Year 2018
European Car of the Year 2018
The new Volvo XC40 small SUV has been named the 2018 European Car of the Year ahead of the Geneva Motor Show in Switzerland. It is the first win of this prestigious award for Volvo Cars, the premium car maker.
It has also won the What Car? Car of the Year 2018 award, just four months after it went on sale.
Volvo's first ever compact SUV was also crowned Best Family SUV at the 40th annual What Car? Awards, which were held at the Grosvenor House hotel in London on Tuesday, 23 January.
The What Car? judges were seriously impressed with the premium XC40, saying: "This is a big moment for Volvo, because the XC40 has beaten some truly exceptional rivals to win here. With its mix of comfort and class, safety and style, the new XC40 excels in all the areas that are important to buyers. Amid a year of great new cars, it stands out as the most impressive by far."
The XC40 brings a new level of flair and desirability to the compact SUV class. It mixes bold looks with cutting-edge technology, along with class-leading safety and ingenious interior storage.
Every version of the XC40 is also exceptionally well equipped. Even entry-level versions come with a nine-inch touch screen control system, satellite navigation, LED headlights, dual-zone climate control with a sophisticated interior air-quality system, and 18-inch alloy wheels. The innovative Volvo On Call remote control and emergency assistance system is also standard on every model. Volvo On Call allows you to control various functions of your car from your smartphone or smartwatch, including starting the engine remotely to heat or cool the cabin before you start your journey and sending a destination directly to the satellite-navigation system.

Volvo's sophisticated Pilot Assist system is available across the XC40 range. This semi-autonomous drive technology assists with the steering and controls the braking and acceleration required to keep the car safely in its lane and at the desired cruising speed or at a set distance from any vehicle in front.
The larger XC60 SUV was also a winner at the What Car? Awards 2018, making it a hat trick of wins for Volvo. It won the Safety Award, as a result of its spectacular Euro NCAP crash test result. It scored an incredible 98% in adult occupant protection tests, along with 87% for child occupant protection and 76% for pedestrian safety. A score of 95% for the XC60's safety assistance technology rounded off its superb showing.
Every XC60 comes with a suite of ground-breaking safety aids, including systems that will actively help you steer around an object in an emergency or guide you back into your lane if you inadvertently move into the path of another vehicle.
Commenting on the awards, Jon Wakefield, Managing Director of Volvo Car UK, said: "Winning the overall What Car? Car of the Year award for the XC40 is a fantastic result – not just for everyone here in the UK, but for Volvo as a global company. The XC40 perfectly showcases the bold new direction Volvo is taking, and brings our class-leading connectivity, semi-autonomous drive technology and innovative storage solutions to the premium compact SUV segment.
We are immensely proud of the XC40, and for the experts at What Car? to award it their ultimate accolade is the perfect start to what will be a hugely significant year for Volvo.

In the present study, we reported the results of the investigation of electrical and optical measurements in Al(x)Ga(1-x)N/GaN heterostructures (x=0.20) that were grown by way of metal-organic chemical vapor deposition on sapphire and SiC substrates with the same buffer structures and similar conditions. We investigated the substrate material effects on the electrical and optical properties of Al(0.20)Ga(0.80)N/GaN heterostructures. The related electrical and optical properties of Al(x)Ga(1-x)N/GaN heterostructures were investigated by variable-temperature Hall effect measurements, photoluminescence (PL), photocurrent, and persistent photoconductivity (PPC) that in turn illuminated the samples with a blue (lambda=470 nm) light-emitting diode (LED) and thereby induced a persistent increase in the carrier density and two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) electron mobility. In sample A (Al(0.20)Ga(0.80)N/GaN/sapphire), the carrier density increased from 7.59x10(12) to 9.9x10(12) cm(-2) via illumination at 30 K. On the other hand, in sample B (Al(0.20)Ga(0.80)N/GaN/SiC), the increments in the carrier density were larger than those in sample A, in which it increased from 7.62x10(12) to 1.23x10(13) cm(-2) at the same temperature. The 2DEG mobility increased from 1.22x10(4) to 1.37x10(4) cm(-2)/V s for samples A and B, in which 2DEG mobility increments occurred from 3.83x10(3) to 5.47x10(3) cm(-2)/V s at 30 K. The PL results show that the samples possessed a strong near-band-edge exciton luminescence line at around 3.44 and 3.43 eV for samples A and B, respectively. The samples showed a broad yellow band spreading from 1.80 to 2.60 eV with a peak maximum at 2.25 eV with a ratio of a near-band-edge excitation peak intensity up to a deep-level emission peak intensity ratio that were equal to 3 and 1.8 for samples A and B, respectively. Both of the samples that were illuminated with three different energy photon PPC decay behaviors can be well described by a stretched-exponential function and relaxation time constant tau as well as a decay exponent beta that changes with the substrate type. The energy barrier for the capture of electrons in the 2DEG channel via the deep-level impurities (DX-like centers) in AlGaN for the Al(0.20)Ga(0.80)N/GaN/sapphire and Al(0.20)Ga(0.80)N/GaN/SiC heterojunction samples are 343 and 228 meV, respectively. The activation energy for the thermal capture of an electron by the defects Delta E changed with the substrate materials. Our results show that the substrate material strongly affects the electrical and optical properties of Al(0.20)Ga(0.80)N/GaN heterostructures. These results can be explained with the differing degrees of the lattice mismatch between the grown layers and substrates.

R. Linn Belford Papers, 1949-2003
Historical Note:
Rue Linn Belford (1931-2015) was instructor (1955-57); assistant professor (1957-63); associate professor (1963-81); and professor (1981-2005) of chemistry as well as director of the Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Research Center (1985-2010) at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). He was known as "one of the world's leading experts in the application of EPR spectroscopy to problems in physical, biophysical, and inorganic chemistry" (Dept. of Chemistry).
Belford was born in St. Louis, Missouri, on December 13, 1931. He earned a bachelor's degree in chemistry from UI (1953), publishing four papers in the Journal of the American Chemical Society during his time as an undergraduate student. At the University of California, Berkley, he worked with Melvin Calvin, a future Nobel Laureate, earning his Ph.D. in chemistry in 1955 and beginning "his lifelong studies of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR)" (Dept. of Chemistry). In 1955, Belford was hired at UIUC where he would remain for the entirety of his career. He published over 150 research papers as well as coauthored the book Spectroscopy and Photochemistry of Uranyl Compounds (1964) with UIUC Professor Eugene Rabinowitch. His research explored the use of special electronic and EPR spectroscopic techniques "to characterize transition metal ions, radicals, biomolecules, and catalytic surfaces" (Dept. of Chemistry). He also contributed to new understandings of shock-tube methods in application to high-temperature fast reactions, conducting research on this area during the 1960s and 1970s. As Director of the EPR Research Center (1985-2010), he oversaw the creation of the first (2-4 GHz) S-band-pulsed EPR and spearheaded the development of computer simulations of complex spectra. His important contributions were recognized in his lifetime with John R. Kuebler Award from Alpha Chi Sigma (1988) and the Gold Special Medal for Distinguished Service from the International EPR Society (2002). He retired from his professorship in 2005, after 50 years of teaching.
In 1954, Belford married Geneva Grosz (d. 2014), a mathematician and later Professor of Computer Science at UIUC, who was his frequent collaborator. He died on August 14, 2015, in Mahomet, Illinois.

Trembly at Wembley
Heavyweight boxing is waking from a prolonged slumber
Anthony Joshua's victory over Wladimir Klitschko should revive the sport's signature division
May 1st 2017
AS ANTHONY JOSHUA crumpled to the canvas, it looked like his defence of his heavyweight world-championship title would not make it past the sixth round. In his 18 previous professional bouts, the 27-year-old Londoner had never been beyond seven rounds, knocking out all of his opponents without once hitting the mat himself. If he was going to preserve his undefeated record, in front of a home crowd of 90,000 spectators at Wembley Stadium on April 29th, he would have to dig deeper than ever before. It did not help his odds that his opponent was Wladimir Klitschko. The 41-year-old Ukrainian, though entering the twilight of his career, is one of the most successful heavyweight boxers of all time. No man in that division has spent more time as a world champion, and only the great Joe Louis has mounted more title defences than "Dr Steelhammer".
After a cagey opening, Mr Joshua appeared to be in control during the fifth round, as he floored his opponent with a flurry of punches. But Mr Klitschko recovered quickly, finishing the round strongly before scoring a knockdown of his own in the sixth. The dazed Briton barely made the count, buying a few seconds on his knees. Though he staggered on until the bell, the end seemed nigh. Having started as the clear favourite, with bookmakers giving him a two-thirds chance of victory, his odds had dropped to 25%. He struggled onwards, avoiding a killer blow without threatening the older man. He would surely need a late rally or a knockout to win—and in the 11th round, he achieved both. Mr Joshua rocked Mr Klitschko with a jaw-shuddering uppercut, then battered him to the ground. Up came the Ukrainian again; another barrage felled him. Mr Klitschko retreated to the corner, dropping his guard as the pummeling intensified, and the referee stopped the contest.
The fight will be remembered as a spectacular one, perhaps even as a classic, for its dramatic swings in momentum and the ferocity of the punching. Big-money bouts rarely live up to the hype, since the boxers often stalk and dodge each other, rather than slugging it out. Floyd Mayweather's victory over Manny Pacquiao in 2015 is an infamous example: after waiting five years for a showdown between the two great welterweights, fans witnessed a defensive masterclass from Mr Mayweather that offered few thrills but earned him $180m. Mr Klitschko has won many of his fights this way. Yet both he and Mr Joshua were willing to attack on Saturday evening, with explosive results.
The fight had greater significance, however, than its entertainment value. Above all, it confirmed that an era of stagnation in heavyweight boxing has ended. Every generation has its stars, and Wladimir Klitschko was one of two to dominate the ring over the last decade. Unfortunately, the other titan happened to be his older brother, Vitali (also known as "Dr Ironfist"). Their mother forbade them from fighting, which robbed fans of an epic rivalry—and kept the division trapped in a fraternal oligopoly. The fragmentation of the world championship allowed Vitali to hold the WBC title, while Wladimir accrued the versions managed by the WBA, WBO, IBO, IBF and "The Ring" magazine. Thanks to a weak field of challengers, neither man lost a fight between 2004 and 2015, by which point Vitali had retired (and been elected as the mayor of Kiev). The division became as stale as women's tennis might have been had Venus and Serena Williams been banned from playing each other.
That hegemony was finally breached in November 2015, when Tyson Fury, a mercurial 28-year-old Briton who styles himself as the "Gypsy King", unexpectedly beat the younger Mr Klitschko on points by unanimous decision. But a scheduled rematch for late 2016 was cancelled after Mr Fury tested positive for cocaine, lost his boxing licence and endured a very public breakdown. That left a vacuum at the top, as the new king disappeared and the old one wasted a precious year negotiating a non-event. Meanwhile Mr Joshua, who turned professional after winning the Olympic gold medal in 2012, had been steadily gaining experience without facing any fighters of real pedigree. In April 2016 he earned the IBF title that had recently been vacated by Mr Fury. Only then did he secure a meeting with Mr Klitschko—his first opponent to have competed in more than one world-title fight.
Where Mr Fury's victory was a shock, Mr Joshua's felt like a changing of the guard. It was easy to see the symbolism as Ukraine's Olympic champion from 1996 lost to the victor of the 2012 games. Admittedly, neither man is at the peak of his career: both would struggle against Lennox Lewis, Evander Holyfield or Mike Tyson in their primes, the stars when the division was last truly competitive in the late 1990s. But at last, heavyweight boxing now has at least two evenly matched front-runners. At 41, Mr Klitschko is still four years younger than George Foreman was when he began his second reign as a world champion; the Ukrainian has mentioned a rematch clause in the fight contract. Mr Joshua has expressed an interest in a second fight, but also called for a bout with Mr Fury in his victory speech. The Gypsy King (as Mr Fury calls himself), who is training again, promptly tweeted in response: "Let's dance." Also in the frame is Deontay Wilder, an undefeated American 31-year-old who holds the WBC title (though he has yet to challenge for another belt).
Fans can look forward to more contests like Saturday night, which drew the biggest crowd for a heavyweight fight in 90 years. The humility shown by the two men was refreshing: they exchanged little "trash talk" before the fight, and expressed mutual admiration after it. "You leave your ego at the door and you respect your opponent," Mr Joshua explained. "Two gentleman fought each other," chimed in Mr Klitschko, "Anthony was better today. He got up, he fought back and he won the title." A little ribbing between rivals is part of the sport, but in recent years the increasingly hyperbolic bragging and bickering has made for a garish sideshow to boring fights. Time for the gloves to do the talking.

The United Arab Emirates' (UAE) cabinet approved a comprehensive list of 83 designated terrorist organizations Saturday, the WAM Emirates News Agency reports. The list includes various al-Qaeda affiliates and the Islamic State.
But the UAE also considers the Muslim Brotherhood and some of its global affiliates as terrorist organizations. The list includes the Council on American-Islamic Relations(CAIR) and the Muslim American Society (MAS).
The UAE action follows a decision last spring to follow Saudi Arabia's decision to label the Egyptian-based Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization. CAIR officialspreviously traveled to the UAE on fundraising missions, State Department records obtained by the Investigative Project on Terrorism show.
But FBI policy since 2008 has prohibited communicating with CAIR outside of criminal investigations. That decision was based on evidence in a terror-financing prosecution in Dallas which placed CAIR and its founders in a Muslim Brotherhood Hamas support network called the Palestine Committee. "[U]ntil we can resolve whether there continues to be a connection between CAIR or its executives and HAMAS, the FBI does not view CAIR as an appropriate liaison partner," Assistant FBI Director Richard Powers wrote in 2009.
The Muslim American Society (MAS) also serves as a branch of the Muslim Brotherhood in America. A 2004 Chicago Tribune story describes how MAS was formed as the Brotherhood's U.S. arm after a debate about whether to stay underground. In 2012 testimony, Abdurahman Alamoudi, once the most politically influential Islamist activist in the country, said the connection between MAS and the Brotherhood was well known in Islamist circles.
They'll have to get more creative this time.

News Projects
Amicable exes David Arquette and Courteney Cox have their next collaboration lined up after his run on "Dancing With the Stars": The "Scream" co-stars' new series about a recently split couple has been sold to NBC.
ABC Studios announced Tuesday that it has sold the comedy, "10 Years," as well as the drama "The Next Insanely Great Thing" to NBC, the former home of Cox's "Friends." She now stars on ABC's "Cougar Town."
Since their separation last year after 11 years of marriage, Cox and Arquette have continued to collaborate, including on the Howard Morris-written show that bears striking similarities to their real life. Executive produced by Arquette and Cox with Morris, it tracks the 10-year relationship of a separated couple and the people around them.
Cox and the couple's daughter, Coco, have appeared repeatedly on "Dancing With the Stars" to cheer for Arquette.
"The Next Insanely Great Thing" takes place in a company town in which residents agree to become test subjects for a high-tech company's social media experiments. The experiments bring the town closer together as they take surprising, funny, and emotional turns. The show is written by Daniel Taplitz, who executive produces with Ian Sanders and Kim Moses.

Wictor Godlewski (30 December 1831 – 17 November 1900) was a Polish nobleman, explorer, and naturalist. After spending time in Siberian labour camps following his participation in the January Uprising, he began to study the natural history of the Siberian region. Many species of birds and other animals are named after him including Godlewski's bunting.

Life and work
Godlewski was born to Aleksander and Anna Karolina daughter of Józef Ciołkowski in  in the Polish noble clan Gozdawa. After the death of his father in 1848 he moved to work in the Brulino-Koski estate of his cousin Józef Wincenty. He took an interest in hunting and collecting bird specimens and collaborated with Władysław Taczanowski. In 1863, he was punished for taking part in the January Uprising and sent to labour in Siberian mines for 12 years. From 1864, he worked for a while in Pietrowska Mine in Irkutsk. Along with another inmate Alfons Parvex, he studied the Daurian fauna.

His sentence ended in 1877 and he managed estates for sometime and then bough some land. After release he began to collaborate with Benedykt Dybowski to study the Siberian fauna and flora between 1864 and 1877. Along with Dybowski, they were the first to measure the depth of the Baikal Lake. They collected bird specimens that were used by Taczanowski in his Fauna ornithologique de la Siberie Orientale published in the Journal für Ornithologie. They were also assisted in the Siberian region by the Polish exile Michał Jankowski. By 1890 he bought Smolecha estate near Ostrów Mazowiecki and started a credit banking organizations including a Cooperative Bank. By 1900 he was on the hunting board for Ostrow. He died from typhus at his Smolechy estate and was buried in the Jasienica cemetery.

Godlewski was awarded a gold medal in 1870 by the Russian Geographical Society. He is honoured in the names of the birds Emberiza godlewskii, Anthus godlewskii, the fish Limnocottus godlewskii, the mollusc genus Godlewskia, and the polychaete Dybowscella godlewskii among others.

I  this. Someone posted this online today and it really got me thinking. I've been steadily and slowly minimising our crap over the last 18 months or so. My issue used to be (and sometimes still is) that I don't want to 'waste' things that I paid good money for. Or that it's a really 'nice' item (that I happen to never use/wear). It can be hard to get over these deeply ingrained thoughts. You need to find a new way of thinking about it. For me, it was the prospect of selling some of these things and making a bit of extra money while creating space in my home (and brain), or for items not worth selling, being able to donate them to people who could make much better use of them. The total junk went in the bin.
So now, we have no great big piles or boxes of junk anywhere (very few stored items in closets).
No doubles/triples of unnecessary items.
(Almost) no clothes/shoes/jewellery that we don't like/need/doesn't fit well/look good/etc. (the two of us share one smallish walk in closet + 1 dresser).
No piles of extra unused kitchen stuff (when we moved in together we had 2 – and sometimes more – of everything. No need!).
No more overflowing bathroom/beauty products.
We don't have a basement here in Australia, so no storage there.
Our single garage holds a car, bikes, tools, gardening stuff, small freezer, and 2 (soon to be sold) washing machines.
No excess trinkets and knick knacks everywhere (not our style anyway), just a few photos and art, etc. that we like.
Sentimental items can be a hard one. For me, I keep only the very most meaningful items. That is, I do now. I used to keep EVERYTHING! Recently I went through a box of items that contained many wedding invitations, thank you cards, birthday cards, other bits of paper to commemorate different events and moments. Most of it went into the recycling. Do I really need to keep other people's wedding invitations (aside perhaps from very close family)? Nope (sorry, friends!). Or birth announcements, etc., 10 years later? No. I have photos from these events that I can keep (mainly digitally). I've even gone through old photo albums (pre-digital cameras!) and thrown out the doubles (triples, quadruples…) and horrible photos. I used to keep every map, postcard, playbill, concert (or any) tickets…it wasn't long ago that I threw out some of these things from over 20 years ago! Unnecessary. Now, I keep only the most special of items. Everything else can go. You still have your memories. And this also means that the items you DO keep are super special and meaningful.
We could go even more minimalist but I think we are at a good place with it now. We don't want to live within 4 bare walls. And once you get into the routine of limiting crap in your house (and therefore life) it becomes a habit; easy to do and actually quite enjoyable. I love getting rid of stuff!
And the other thing we do to control the amount of stuff that fills out house is that that we never shop. Like hardly ever. Once you get into the habit of no-excess, you find that when you are shopping you have this thought in your head of 'Do I really need this?' and often the answer is 'no'. And it's totally fine. We mostly just shop for food and necessities now.
I was listening to The Minimalists Podcast the other day where the host mentioned buying 'stuff' as a cost to your freedom. The more you buy, the more you need to work/earn, and for some people the more debt you accumulate. Did you know people's average debt is $15,000? Is that cup of coffee worth $4 of your freedom? Is that t-shirt worth $30 of your freedom? An interesting way to look at it. I suppose for me, I'd rather spend my money/freedom on good quality food, travel, continued education, and pursuits that are important to us/our values/wellbeing (for us that means an annual subscription to ballet for me, and an annual golf club membership for Leigh). The occasional nice pieces of quality clothing/shoes too, when actually needed. We also love to go out for long yummy breakfasts and chat for ages. This is what's important to us (of course, it will be different for you), so this where we spend our hard-earned money. Not under pressure having to earn more and more money and working like a maniac to pay off bills and debts for tonnes and tonnes of stuff, that when you really think about it, is totally unnecessary, and you end up drowning in it. It also cuts way down on day-to-day stress trying to sort/tidy/maintain all the 'stuff'.
At least, that's what we've seen as an outcome.
What do you think? Does being a bit more minimalist resonate with you?

The Cinematic Revolution: 'Light & Magic' Trailer
Necessity, as the saying goes, is the mother of invention, and no greater example of this maxim exists than Industrial Light And Magic — or, as it is better known, ILM*.
Light and Magic, a six part docuseries about ILM, will be premiering on Disney+ on July 27th, detailing the incredible founding, history, and evolution of this Hollywood production mainstay.
Directed by Lawrence Kasdan, who has deep connections to the subject matter through his involvement with the worlds of Star Wars and Indiana Jones, the series will tell the story of ILM through the voices of those who have been a part of it. Featuring an array of interviews from original and current members of the special effects house, as well as the directors & producers who birthed some of film's greatest masterpieces from its creative minds, Light & Magic looks to be telling more than the story of Hollywood history via ILM — it chronicles the revolution that ILM represented.
Founded by George Lucas in 1975, ILM was the brainchild of necessity. Lucas was breaking ground with the Star Wars franchise. No effects house in the world could create the special effects that first iconic film would require. Thus ILM was born, and went on to forever change special effects as Hollywood knew it. From a group of people who knew nothing about the art form save that they loved movies and were on board with creating something entirely new, the early pioneers that staffed ILM at the onset would go on to lay the groundwork for the field of visual effects as we know it today.
Such is the verdict handed down by interview subjects Ron Howard, Steven Spielberg, and Jon Favreau. Such is the word from George Lucas himself as the story of true movie magic is told, outlining how a bunch of immature young people who wanted to make a cool science fiction movie built equipment, defied convention, and quite literally invented an entire industry while toying with the rules of movie like children with new building blocks.
As Ron Howard says during the trailer, as the audience learns to see through the effects? The bar simply raises — and after 47 years, countless Oscar wins, and an amazing list of every film you could possibly think of, the full story will at last be told. From top to bottom, in a six episode block, the world will finally come to understand the enormity of what ILM is, its true legacy, and what the future may hold.
With its raw ingenuity and boundless creativity, Industrial Light and Magic is the true home of magic in Hollywood. And now we get to peek inside the magician's hat and see what's there.

Reputation is a determining factor to a business becoming prosperous as time goes by. Most especially online reputation. In the event that unwanted content about your company is posted online it could destroy consumer trust in your brand. If your company is facing such negativity what will save you is an online reputation management company. Considering that reputation is essential for any company, choosing the appropriate online reputation company is the way to go. Choosing the wrong company will damage the image of your business even more. When selecting an online reputation management company to consider the factors below.
To start with, the experience of the company is a factor of consideration. When looking their experience get information on the length of time they have been in operation. Also consider the experience of the company' senior team. It especially vital to assess the digital marketing skills that they have. A crucial factor is being knowledgeable on the mechanism that is used by Google in ranking content. Broad knowledge in law is vital to an online reputation management company. As a result you should see the law firm that they partner with.
Confirming that the company you want to enlist are humans is important. Making this confirmation is all in you. A lot of reputation firms normally claim to be big operations having a lot of team members. Yet you just can not get their contact number or even address. Refrain from doing business with your reputation company through email. If it is possible to meet your prospective team to make sure that they are real and can deliver good results.
Another factor that is to be put into consideration is getting to know the way they work. You should do this before you make up your mind on enlisting them. A well-respected firm will be all right when it comes to being totally open concerning the length of time the project is going to take before producing results. It is unfortunate that some companies choose to conform to standards that are unethical. They will not disclose to you the method they will make use of to get rid of negative information concerning your business online. Do not make a mistake of hiring such companies. This is because chances are you may end up being disappointed.
To finish with, false promises should be evaded. You should gauge the ability of the online reputation management company to keep their promises concerning what they will deliver. There are businesses that are out there to manipulate you because of how desperate you are to get rid of negative online information about your business. Such companies may claim to deliver fast results or guarantee removal, but they are not capable of doing this.


Bayelsa State governor, Seriake Dickson yesterday made a startling revelation to the public indicating that his government inherited a paltry sum of N4,451 from his predecessor, Timipre Sylva.
The governor went on to give details of how his administration grew this amount to N16bn within a space of about one year.
He reportedly made this disclosure while giving his administration's financial scorecard for December 2012 in Abuja. He said his state's Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) would hit the N2bn monthly mark by the end of the year, up from about N300mn when he assumed office.
Dickson, who was represented by his commissioner for finance, Duate Iyabi, said 2013 has been dedicated to consolidating the achievements of the preceding year.
Sylva, the former governor, however, countered this claim. He said his government did not hand over to Dickson therefore he (Dickson) is not in a position to know how much he left in the state coffers.
His spokesman, Dofie Ola said after the Supreme Court judgement which sent Sylva packing, he handed over to the Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Nestor Binabo and not Dickson.
"We did not hand over to Dickson, there was an acting governor who took over from us and so the question should go to him (Binabo)," Ola said yesterday.
The former governor is currently facing corruption charges with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, which last week sealed 48 choice property in Abuja allegedly belonging to him, although Sylva has insisted that he did not have more than three property in Abuja.
The Bayelsa government maintained that despite the scarcity of funds it intends to complete ongoing projects in the state.
Iworiso-Markson, the chief press secretary to the governor said Dickson is proceeding on a two-week break as part of his annual vacation which he did not observe because of pressing state assignments.

It's business as usual at Thomas Cook India
From CNN's Rishi Iyengar
The collapse of UK tour operator Thomas Cook has left hundreds of thousands of travelers stranded, but customers who made bookings through Thomas Cook India can rest easy.
Thomas Cook India said Monday it was a separate business so won't be affected by the collapse of the venerable British brand. The company is owned by Canada's Fairfax Financial Holdings, which bought a 77% stake in 2012.
"Please be reassured that all your bookings and transactions will continue to be smooth," Thomas Cook India said on Twitter, adding that it only shares the Thomas Cook brand name through a licensing agreement.
"Thomas Cook India… is financially strong, profitable and maintains a positive outlook in the travel and tourism sector," the company's chairman Madhavan Menon tweeted.
Travelers stuck in Menorca, Spain "not going anywhere soon"
Michael Welham was supposed to fly back to London's Stansted Airport after his week-long holiday in Menorca, Spain.
He's been at the airport since 7 a.m. -- for more than two hours now.
"They asked us to sit in a corner of the airport and wait for more news, which we are currently still doing," he told CNN.
A video he posted on Twitter shows the airport full of passengers all waiting with their suitcases. "Not going anywhere soon," he wrote in the post.
Thomas Cook's German airline Condor will continue flight operations

Condor, a German airline owned by Thomas Cook, will continue flight operations, it said in a press release.
"Condor continues to operate as a German company. In order to prevent liquidity constraints Condor has applied for a state-guaranteed bridging loan, which is currently under review by the Federal Government," said the release.
Condor's CEO Ralf Teckentrup said the airline would "continue to concentrate on what we do best: flying our customers to their holidays safely and on time."
She found out her honeymoon was canceled the morning after the wedding
From CNN's Gianluca Mezzofiore
Laura Schofield at her wedding. She found out soon after that the honeymoon was canceled. Laura Schofield
Laura Schofield was supposed to be flying to Lanzarote from Manchester today for her honeymoon with her husband, following their marriage yesterday in the city of Hull.
"We found out on Saturday morning when my mom rang me after she had watched the news and asked who we were flying with and of course we said Thomas Cook," she told CNN. "We're not going to the airport as all the information we've been given is basically saying not to bother as our flight won't be leaving."
The couple had been together for eight years and had never traveled abroad together, and were "gutted" to find out their big trip had been canceled.
"We have a one-year-old and wanted to have a nice relaxing break for our honeymoon. To find out the morning after our wedding was so upsetting," Schofield said.
They haven't received any information about alternate flights, but having a toddler complicates rebooking dates.
"We want a refund at this point just so we can try and make the most of this week together before we go back to work," she said.

Thomas Cook offered trips to more than 60 destinations worldwide
From CNN's Karla Cripps
One of the world's most well-known tour operators, Thomas Cook is famous for offering low-cost package holidays to more than 60 destinations worldwide, making it a popular option for families in search of an affordable getaway.
But the collapse of this UK brand marks the end for a company that's credited with changing the global travel landscape.
Thomas Cook served more than 19 million customers last year, according to the company.
Here's a look at Thomas Cook's top travel destinations as listed on the company's website:
Thomas Cook lost 1.4 billion pounds in six months
Thomas Cook posted a 1.4 billion pounds ($1.7 billion) first half-loss earlier this year.
In a press release from May, CEO Peter Fankhauser blamed the bad news on a number of factors:
"The prolonged heatwave last summer and high prices in the Canaries reduced customer demand for winter sun, particularly in the Nordic region, while there is now little doubt that the Brexit process has led many UK customers to delay their holiday plans for this summer," he said in the release.
The company did try to mitigate the damage, closing 21 retail stores and taking other cost efficiency measures. In other aspects, it was also continuing to expand -- in March and April, it opened 12 new hotels and was pressing forward in a joint venture to buy a Russian tour operator.
Thomas Cook had been scrambling over the weekend after the Royal Bank of Scotland and a range of other banks demanded that Thomas Cook Group PLC find £200 million ($250 million) in funding by this upcoming week.
Pilots' union says Thomas Cook employees have been "stabbed in the back"
Brian Strutton, general secretary of the union British Airline Pilots' Association, took to Twitter to criticize the company collapse and thousands of lost jobs as "despicable."
"The hopes of all Thomas Cook employees that their airline could survive has been brutally quashed this morning as they wake up to find they have no job," said Strutton.
"While detailed plans to repatriate passengers have been carefully put together and ministers have and will continue to claim the credit for that, the staff have been stabbed in the back without a second's thought. Despite continuing to keep Thomas Cook going in recent weeks with dignity & integrity while their own futures were being secretly decided, we don't even know if staff will get a pay cheque this month. It's despicable."
He added that the staff "deserve better than this," and that the union would support the affected pilots through the liquidation and job-hunting process.
Boris Johnson promises to help stranded travelers

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has pledged to help travelers stranded by Thomas Cook's closure.
"It's a very difficult situation and obviously our thoughts are very much with the customers with Thomas Cook, the holiday makers, who may now face difficulties getting home," Johnson told reporters en route to New York for the United Nations General Assembly.
"One way or the other, the state will have to step in quite rightly to help stranded holidaymakers."

The UK Civil Aviation Authority is now arranging repatriation flights for travelers stranded abroad, with the first homebound flights leaving today.
Spain and Greece seem to have many flights leaving back to the UK over the next week -- there are flights leaving out of 13 Greek airports and 11 Spanish airports, according to the Thomas Cook site.
The flights are bringing travelers back to a range of UK cities, including Glasgow, London, Bristol, and Newcastle.
There are also flights listed to bring travelers back from Tunisia, the US, Turkey, Italy, Mexico, and more.

In response to Jeff's post regarding uninstalling plugins, Andrew Rickmann has created a tool that adds an uninstallation option on the plugins page. The uninstall option will only show up if the plugin has been deactivated and if the plugin author has created an uninstall file.
Andrew is unsure of the demand for a tool like this, so please let him know your thoughts on having an uninstall option on the plugins page.
Update Jan 11: Andrew has released a second iteration of the uninstall tool. Click here to check it out.
Plugin of the year. Hands down. I cant wait to see this plug be developed.
This is great! It is very useful for everyone esp for those who does not want to tinker with their database manually.
Fantastic idea. It would be really nice to get a prompt showing which files and tables are going to be deleted prior to doing so, but this could be great!
Now it is upto the plugin authors to take up the cue!!
On to the plugin Utopia!
As discussed earlier: IMHO allways the plugin developers are responsible to create a clean uninstall option.
I'll definitely be supporting this (or something similar) on my future plugins. Kudos to Jeff for bringing this issue up here.
If you install plugins with Matt Read's Installer, it creates a log of all files installed. The Installer also comes with an uninstaller. So if you installed via Installer (which is common because you don't have to unzip or use FTP, it's so much more convenient) you can uninstall from there too.
Sorry to sound mean but this isn't plugin of the year. Why? Because it requires an uninstall file. And I doubt many plugins will follow that unless it becomes standard (Matt or Alex would have to say something).
I couldn't get the page for Installer to load, but I read Lorelle's review on her blog. It looks like the plugin does a good job of installing and removing plugins, but one of the things Jeff brought up in his post was the database overhead through tables and options. It doesn't look like Installer will take care of that issue. In the case of database overhead, it will be the plugin author who (hopefully) knows best how to remove their plugin data.
I agree that a majority of plugin authors will not get behind this unless it is officially supported in the core code. But I do think this is a step in the right direction and a good proof of concept.
This gives you the option to delete the plugin. It's also very handy for updating plugins which seem to update fairly regularly.
I haven't used the uninstall tool here so I don't know if there's any extra benefit from it.
Thanks Ronald for shedding some light on this tool. It looks like I need to put together a part 2 of the Uninstalling issue.
I developed the WordPress Plugin Framework (WPF) to allow plugin developers to provide the ability to deactivate and / or uninstall their plugins. You can find out more about the WPF by following the link below.
We definitely need this type of plugins. I recommend to put it into the core. WordPress need a lot of improvements.
I'm for a plug-in like this. It's nice for the OC programmers out there to clean out their database, but for the average person I'm not sure how much demand there will be.

Q: Apache authentication from multiple domains in AD with mod_authn_alias I'm running Apache 2 and I need to authentificate users from multiple AD domains in one <Location/>. I tried using mod_authn_alias
ОС: Debian GNU/Linux Squueze with lastest updates
Apache/2.2.16
Modules
/etc/apache2/apache.conf:
<AuthnProviderAlias ldap first-ldap>
    AuthLDAPURL "ldap://win2003server:389/DC=first,DC=domain?sAMAccountName?sub?(objectClass=*)" NONE
    AuthLDAPBindDN "cn=user1,cn=Users,dc=first,dc=domain"
    AuthLDAPBindPassword "user1"
</AuthnProviderAlias>

<AuthnProviderAlias ldap second-ldap>
    AuthLDAPURL "ldap://win2008server:3268/DC=second,DC=domain?sAMAccountName?sub?(objectClass=*)" NONE
    AuthLDAPBindDN "cn=user2,cn=Users,dc=second,dc=domain"
    AuthLDAPBindPassword "user2"
</AuthnProviderAlias>

/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000default:
<Location /test>

    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all

    Authtype Basic
    AuthBasicProvider first-ldap second-ldap
    AuthName "TEST"
    AuthzLDAPAuthoritative off
    require valid-user

</Location>

With this configuration it authentificates users from first domain, and for users from second domain it igves an error:
 [Fri Sep 16 20:54:39 2011] [info] [client 10.0.0.62] [25672] auth_ldap authenticate: user2 user2 authentication failed; URI /test/ [ldap_simple_bind_s() to check user2 credentials failed][Invalid credentials]

When I leave only AuthBasicProvider second-ldap users from second domain can authntificate successfully, so second domain LDAP is OK.
Does any one know solution to force mod_authn_alias to work?

A: I don't know how to make Apache do what you want.  However, you can set up OpenLDAP as a proxy in front of multiple AD instances using either the ldap or meta backends, and this will get you effectively the same behavior.  You point Apache at your OpenLDAP proxy, and then OpenLDAP talks to your AD servers.
Here is my write-up on using the meta backend.  This is more of a starting point than an actual solution.
I'm  actually using OpenLDAP as a proxy right now to authenticate against three separate directories -- one AD domain, one remote LDAP server, and a local LDAP directory.

A: I have found way to solution here: authenticating-apache-httpd-against-multiple-ldap-servers-with-expired-accounts
I used for testing user account from second domain, that had namesake disabled account in first domain. Deletion of disabled account helped, but deleting accounts in AD domain is bad practice: you can receive objects with unknown security descriptors. I created LDAP filter for elimination of disabled users, and now everything works fine :)
/etc/apache2/apache2.conf:
<AuthnProviderAlias ldap first-ldap>
    AuthLDAPURL "ldap://win2003server:389/DC=first,DC=domain?sAMAccountName?sub?(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(!(userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2)))" NONE
    AuthLDAPBindDN "cn=user1,cn=Users,dc=first,dc=domain"
    AuthLDAPBindPassword "user1"
</AuthnProviderAlias>

<AuthnProviderAlias ldap second-ldap>
    AuthLDAPURL "ldap://win2008server:3268/DC=second,DC=domain?sAMAccountName?sub?(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user))" NONE
    AuthLDAPBindDN "cn=user2,cn=Users,dc=second,dc=domain"
    AuthLDAPBindPassword "user2"
</AuthnProviderAlias>

Note, that this filter works for AD domain with functional level "windows 2000 native", and doesn't work for AD domain with functional level "windows server 2003", I don't know why.

Biserica de lemn din Feregi, comuna Cerbăl, județul Hunedoara a fost ridicată după mijlocul secolului al XVII-lea. Are hramul "Sfinții Arhangheli Mihail și Gavriil". În ciuda vechimii sale și a măiestriei lucrului în lemn biserica nu se află pe noua listă a monumentelor istorice.

Istoric și trăsături
Biserica din satul Feregi, de dimensiuni modeste, poate fi datată după mijlocul secolului al XVII-lea. Pereții, ridicați din bârne de stejar, înscriu tipul arhaic al unui dreptunghi, cu altarul în continuarea navei, poligonal cu trei laturi. Deasupra pronaosului se ridică o clopotniță scundă, cu foișor simplu și coif învelit cu tablă. Acoperișul, în pante abrupte, a fost învelit în ultimele decenii cu țiglă. La exterior bârnele au fost învelite cu șiță ornamentală, vopsită. La interior biserica a fost tencuită, iar în anul 2005 a fost pictată de către artistul plastic devean Ioan Cârjoi junior.

Staple Singers, The When Will We Be Paid?
I saw Little Jimmy at the Opry too! Loved what Charlie Louvin had to say about him in his book. Hilarious!
Baby! Who loves you? We ALL Do!!!
Another fine Saturday with the Michael Shelley Show!
I remember seeing Wayne Newton perform Bessie the Heifer on The Lucy Show as a kid, the moment later immortalized by the Friedman brothers in Any Similarity to Persons Living or Dead Is Purely Coincidental.
Don't blame me—I voted for a guitar-pickin' President.
distorted tunes test. a good name for a wfmu show.
Hey Mike and all on the board. I hope this is ok to post here: I have 2 tickets to Brian Wilson w/ Al Jardine tonight at Bergen PAC in Englewood. Center Orch row S. I have to sell one or both, face value $100. Reply here if interested thx.
Always great to hear Deke. A suggestion: If someone who listens to this show regularly tries following Deke's Facebook page, he/she will almost certainly be glad to see what shows up in the feed.
I love this Brian Wilson tune! My favorite is Vegetables!!
great to hear Deke talk about PF. Phil was a good friend, I played the Bottom Line in NYC with him in '85. we did a bunch of older tunes but the only Baggies number was "Summer Means Fun." and he did slip into "Kick That Little Foot Sally Ann"! I've been to Phil's house, it was modest but had a wonderful spirit to it. he also told me that Mums (the label of "Raised On Records," the early '70s LP in question) asked Phil to try singing lead on "It Never Rains In Southern California" but he froze at the session. I think it was the same track as the Albert Hammond version. I feel that Phil would have sounded great on it. but I think he wasn't into singing another writer's song! RIP Phil, you were one of a kind and a sweet, sweet soul.
Lovely choice, Juniper! I enjoyed your perspective on seeing Brian Wilson live. I met you (and your dad and I believe, your grandparents) the night he played at the PNC Arts Center. Have fun at the show tonight!
Hey, the great Dennis Diken was there, too!
Hey Michael. Do they liner notes list where Hunter recorded this record? Toe Rag?
Michael Shelly -best musician , music producer, anything connected to music interviewer in the world .
Michael, if you've got a minute, who did that uke-driven jingle for you? It had a They Might Be Giants vibe, but it didn't sound at all like it was actually them.

Here is an incident in Matt. 17:1-8 that illustrates both our present attitude as well as God's desire towards us. Right from Matthew 16:27-28, Jesus had promised his disciples that some of them present then with him would soon see his glory. You know, up till this time, the disciples had not yet fully understood exactly who Jesus was. In that same chapter, Jesus asked them who they thought he was. "The Son of God," Peter had answered. So, when Jesus took Peter, James and John, His closest apostles, to the top of the Mountain, it was with the intention of revealing himself to them. He hoped for them to see him in all his glory and spender. He hoped to make them see that every other thing was insignificant compared to the supreme task of knowing him for who he is and loving him thus.
So, Jesus got transformed before their very eyes. Rather than fall before him and soak in the glory and spender of his person, they were attracted instead by the appearance of Moses and Elijah who came to speak with Jesus. Now, you need to understand the situation here. First, you will recall that Moses represents the Law, and Elijah represents the prophets. In other words, these two men represent, together, the whole revelations and dealings of God with Israel until Jesus came. Second, you will remember that for the Jew, Moses was a hero. So in looking at the law, all that Israel sees is that great Moses who brought these wonderful laws. It does not really matter much if there is a God who gave the laws through Moses. The law was really great, so the guy who could receive such a law must be very great in deed.
How about Elijah? He was a great prophet of faith and power. He was steadfast even when almost all the other prophets went astray. He was a prophet of fire! A fellow who could call down fire from heaven at will has be a close friend of God. In fact, Elijah was so great that Israel believed that even the coming of the Messiah would have to be preceded by the coming of Elijah (Matt. 17:10-13, Malachi 4:5-6). This was a no-nonsense prophet and all Israel revered him generations after. So, you can then imagine the thrill the three apostles of Jesus felt when they saw these two men live! Nothing was greater, no experience higher. This was the peak; here they were, seeing these great Fathers of Israel, all at once. And boy, they won't let such an opportunity pass them by. Trust Peter - he quickly spoke up. "Then Peter answered and said to Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here, if you wish, let us make here three tabernacles; one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah." I suspect that Peter mentioned Jesus first as a matter of courtesy, mere politeness. He was after Moses, representative of the Law, and how Peter loved the Law. You remember even in Acts, after many years of God's dealings with him, it was still difficult for Peter to drop the law and its restrictions (Acts 10:10-16). Simply put, Peter was eager to camp with Moses. He preferred Moses. Jesus can wait for now. It's not every day one gets to meet Moses like this! (My take on it, of course).
What of Elijah's camp? Who would camp with him? Your guess is just as good as mine. James. That fellow too was a no-nonsense person. You remember at one time, he asked Jesus' permission to call down fire on a village that did not allow them passage. In fact, James was so hot amongst all the 12 apostles that Herod had to kill him first in attempt to halt the rapid spread of the gospel (Act 12:1-3). So, Elijah was certainly James kind of guy. He would easily identify with Elijah. Hence, you can count on James to have camped with Elijah, I think.
So, where does that leave Jesus? "Poor him." He was left only with beloved John, the "one who leans on the bosom of the Master." John will always stick with Jesus. He was the "one who loved Jesus," one whom the master also loved. Is it clearer now? If Peter's proposal had worked, there would have been three camps. And Jesus' 'camp' would been have just one of many camps. While Peter was yet making his proposal, though, God answered him. God was so angered that he didn't let Peter finish. Read it yourself: "While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed him; and suddenly a voice came out of the cloud saying, "This is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear him!" And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces and were greatly afraid. But Jesus came and touched them and said "Arise, and do not be afraid". When they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only (Acts 17:5-8).
No wonder the apostles fell down on their faces, greatly afraid. I think they got the message. In fact, God was so displeased that he quickly withdrew Moses and Elijah, so that when they finally got up, "they saw no one but Jesus only"! Thank God for that. May we also wake up today to see nobody but Jesus only. May the church today also wake up to see no message (holiness, faith, success, power, deliverance) as the ultimate, but to see Jesus only. To love God is to be wholly devoted to him- spirit, soul and body. To love God is to focus all our energies, our teachings, our emotion, our followers only on Jesus the Lord.
If we really love God and devote all to him, will it not be easy then to live holy, have faith, receive power and have what the Bible calls 'good success'? "He who did not spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?" These issues are being presented not to criticize, but to offer useful suggestions to the beloved bride of Jesus - that all the master ever wanted is our whole-hearted devotion to him. To love him with all our heart. If he ever gives any special revelation, it is only to help us devote all to him - not to organize a new camp around his revelation.

Martin Donaldson with A Celtic State of Mind – A walk down memory lane, the Celtic Graves Society way
On Sunday, 13 October, 2019 / A Celtic State of Mind, Articles, Football / Leave a comment
Glasgow Doors Open Day has become an annual event where business and buildings across the city let the public in for a behind-the-scenes look at some of the city's most famous venues. You can tread the boards at the Tron, pop your head into the Panopticon or even see behind the neon lights of the Barrowlands, but for me the star attraction was a trip to St Peter's Cemetery in the east of Glasgow where the Celtic Graves Society (CGS) had arranged a stroll around the resting place of many of the founding fathers and servants of Celtic Football Club.
If you are not familiar with the work of the CGS, they are a group of fans who aim to mark or repair the resting place of old Celtic heroes. Their dedication has taken them across Scotland, Ireland and further afield to help maintain these sites for future generations.
So, you maybe think a walk around a cemetery is not an ideal way to spend a Saturday afternoon? But, for me and the 60+ others in attendance, the beautifully sunny day was a perfect backdrop for our guides to shine a light on the lives of former players and office bearers. Brendan Sweeney of the CGS led the procession around 20-30 graves, pausing to share stories of the first Celtic committee, famous victories on the field, as well as battles in the boardroom and in the press. The level of research carried out by the team to provide such wonderful insight to those fledgling years of the club is astonishing.

One of the many stories recounted included that of James McGrory, Celtic's greatest ever goalscorer, who's incredible scoring record keeps him in the list of top 10 strikers in the world to have ever played the game. Amongst the people on the tour, 90-year-old Frank McGuire, who was fortunate enough see McGrory play at Celtic Park, added some colour to the tales of a Celtic great.
The group's painstaking attention to detail is clear to see as we reach the oldest part of St Peter's cemetery. This section is victim to the passing of time and decay, making the identification of plots almost impossible. Moving from one section of the cemetery to another and speaking to those in attendance, you begin to hear accents from across Scotland, Ireland and even Germany as fans of the club look to get a better insight into the stories left behind by those early trailblazers.
Those formative years in the rise of Celtic took its toll on many who played in the green and white or served on the committee. The stark reality of the high mortality rate amongst these men at such a young age gave an unclouded commentary on the social conditions which the club had originally hoped to help alleviate in the community; but make no mistake the tour is far from sombre. It is a fitting tribute to the people who made the commitment to help put food on the table of the poor children of the parish and allowed the displaced souls to find pride in a club and cause.
The Celtic Graves Society is served by a wonderfully gifted team of researchers who leave no stone unturned in sharing the stories of our founding fathers who played a significant role in the continuing success of a truly global football club. You can pick up a membership or booklets from previous events and look out for upcoming commemorations by the Society on their website.
