Chairman's Staying Alert Newsletter – Week 6
Time is moving on and we have now reached what would have been Game Day 6, which is the Bank Holiday week-end. Game Day 6 would have seen us in action against Barrow and Ashley. It is undoubtedly the fixtures against our neighbouring clubs that I am missing most, and the game against Barrow is always competitive and played in the right spirit. No action for us to report on so far in 2020, but there is a pinprick of light at the end of the tunnel with HMG acceptance of cricket nets being acceptable as a suitably socially-distanced form of exercise. Some members have already started to practise again which is very good to see. News of the net practice procedures and the rest of the current cricketing items of interest can be found on further below in this the newsletter. Here, we'll continue with a browse through some exciting May matches of the past.
1st XI v Ashton-on-Mersey May 2001
On GD6 of the 2001 season we were away to a club appearing for the first time in our fixture card.
The hosts won the toss and took first knock on their picturesque ground 'The Beets' that nestles into an elbow of the River Mersey. Club stalwart Matt Macgibbon did something highly praiseworthy and very unusual for the home club by carrying his bat throughout the innings, watching all 10 wickets fall at the other end. He finished with 65* out of a total of 95. Well played sir. The Swans bowlers sharing wickets that day were Greg Malkin (2) Matt Parkinson (2) and Dave Hill (1). Chief architect of the hosts down-fall was the affable Aussie Eric Godwood with 5-19.
Obviously, we now all like Australians having watched Amazon Prime's The Test, which is essential lockdown viewing. However, we really liked Eric back in the day and he had a great impact during his time with us.
After tea, there were one or two wobbles but the to-tal was eventually chased down for 4, with near 20 scores from yours truly, Eric, Dave, and Ian Rule. The last two named batsmen were unbroken at the end in a stand of 40 that clinched the points.
By the end of the season the Aston-on-Mersey men would have seen enough of Eric as he rattled through the top order in the return game with an even more impressive return of 4.1-2-4-6, making 11-23 in the season.
This was indeed quite a season as we were 2nd XI and aggregate champions that year
1st XI v Tattenhall May 2018
Two years ago we had a great win at The Flacca. Josh M-J asked the hosts to bat first and they racked up an impressive score of 237-8. Great bowling efforts from Shavaiz with 5 wickets and Kiwi Josh with 3 gave us a glimmer of hope of the win.
After tea, the chase hit choppy waters at 34-4. At this point Atif Bajwa forged an alliance with Zain Abidin. Zain provided the essential support with 56* while Atif played a quite remarkable innings that will stay long in the memory of those lucky enough to witness it. He is a superb timer of a cricket ball, striking the ball very cleanly with fast hand-speed. He is a classy and powerful player. He scored 142* off 117 balls that day, with 15 fours and four sixes. Atif's 142* is the second-highest 1stXI innings in the club record book. The unbroken 5th wicket partnership of 204 between Atif and Zain is a club record. Well played Swans– a great win.
The Power of nature
Friday's winds were highly unusual in their ferocity. Trees in full leaf are easily damaged, and so it proved when large branches of a tree were blown into the next door field. Can you identify it? Also, think long and hard before fielding at the football end– you may have some little friends to contend with.
2nd XI host davenham May 1995
The 2ndXI entertained Davenham 25 years ago. It was a wet May that year and the club had no covers as yet. Sticky wickets were commonplace and most club bowling records come from the 80's and 90's. On this day the men from Butcher's Stile were asked to bat and were all out for 93. there was a wicket apiece for Dennis Reeves, Neil Glover, Bob Lewis and Bob Ellis. However, destroyer in chief that day was the original Silver Fox, club legend Gordon Price. Gordon made his debut in the 1947 team. Here, 48 seasons later, he bowled his spin with extreme cunning and control to finish with an analysis of 8-1-16-6. Eight victims were caught and the catchers make an interesting list: 3 for Neil Glover, 2 for Dennis Reeves and 1 for Bob Lewis. Did these bowlers not trust anyone else? Catches for Derek Bell and Andy Miln completes the list of those who snapped up the chances.
It was not a run-fest after tea but the Swans made controlled progress towards the target with 20's from Bob Ellis and Andy Miln. It is always good to see fathers and sons enjoying cricket together and, on this occasion, Neil Reeves 22* and Dennis 10* were there at the end to see us home at 94-4 and a 6 wicket win.
Look back to last year
Going back in time to the 2019 season, on the corresponding weekend we were at home to Frodsham in our first-ever game against the Moor Lane men. The 2nd XI were just moving into top gear at this point in the season. When asked to bat first on Terry Dandy's flat pitch, the Swans did not need asking twice. Rob McNally 21, Harry Morris 33, and Joe Layder 34* all provided valuable support to the afternoon's main contributor, Russell Crowley. The Baggies supporting veteran displayed a wide range of
shots in scoring an admirable 102. After tea a miserly and accurate bowling attack wrapped up the visitors innings for 78, leggie Dave Phillips (netting yesterday– keen) finishing with a bamboozling 3-9.
You can see Russ pictured below in Matt Jones' (man with the Canon) excellent photo. Young Swans please note:

'NOW' Holds 'N Sync To 1 Week At No. 1
The seventh volume of the "NOW! That's What I Call Music" (EMI/Universal/Sony/Zomba/Virgin) hit compilation series sold 621,000 copies in the U.S. in its first week, according to SoundScan, more than
The seventh volume of the "NOW! That's What I Call Music" (EMI/Universal/Sony/Zomba/Virgin) hit compilation series sold 621,000 copies in the U.S. in its first week, according to SoundScan, more than enough to oust 'N Sync's "Celebrity" (Jive) from the top of The Billboard 200 after just one week.
"NOW! 7," the third in the series to bow at No. 1 on the chart, has the highest opening sales of any of its predecessors, topping the 525,000 units "NOW! 6" sold in its debut week five-and-a-half months ago. That set remains on The Billboard 200, resting at No. 40, and has sold about 2.8 million units to date. "NOW! 4," released last July, was first compilation album of previously released material to top The Billboard 200.
In its second week at retail, sales of "Celebrity" fell 75% to 460,000 copies, the largest second-week sales decline in the SoundScan era. Of course, its first-week numbers were an almighty 1.88 million, and in just two weeks the album has sold more than 2.3 million copies. This week, the album slips to No. 2; first single "Pop," however, slips 62-73 on The Billboard Hot 100.
Snoop Dogg's crew Tha Eastsidaz have a powerful sophomore outing with "Duces 'N Trayz - The Old Fashioned Way" (TVT), howling its way to No. 4 on The Billboard 200 with 116,000 units sold. The hearty outing doubles the first-week chart position from last year's self-titled bow, which arrived at No. 8 on the strength of 100,000 units, and has sold 839,000 to date. "Duces 'N Trazy" opens at No. 2 on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and at No. 1 on Billboard's Top Independent Albums tally.
Newcomer Blu Cantrell impressively introduces herself to The Billboard 200 at No. 8 with "So Blue" (Arista/RedZone) and bows at No. 5 on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Album tally. Her single, "Hit 'Em Up Style (Oops)" moves back up to No. 3 on the Hot 100 and No. 34 on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart.
While the film may be setting box office records, the Def Jam soundtrack to "Rush Hour 2" doesn't quite top the No. 7 entrance by the companion set to the first film in the franchise. Fueled by the hit Ludacris single "Area Codes" featuring Redman, the set sold 69,000 units to speed its way to No. 11 on The Billboard 200. The first "Rush Hour" set has sold. 1.4 million to date.
Other noteworthy album chart debuts include Gangsta Boo's "Both Worlds *69" (Hypnotic Minds/Loud) at No. 29; Bilal's "1st Born Second" (Moyo/Interscope) at No. 31; the Crystal Method's "Tweekend" (Outpost/Geffen) at No. 32; Tha Dogg Pound's "Death Row Presents: Tha Dogg Pound 2002" (Death Row) at No. 36; and Blake Shelton's self-titled Warner Bros. debut at No. 45. The Crystal Method set also lands at No. 1 on Billboard's Top Electronic Albums chart.
Alicia Keys' single "Fallin'" has moved into the top slot on the Hot 100 in its tenth week on the chart. "Fallin'" also rises to No. 1 on the Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks tally, while her J Records debut, "Songs in A Minor," drops 2-3 on The Billboard 200. Last week's Hot 100 No. 1, Destiny's Child's "Bootylicious," falls to No. 5.
The Hot 100's fastest-growing track at radio this week is Jennifer Lopez's "I'm Real," which jumps 9-4, while her album, "J. Lo" (Epic), scoots 17-12 on The Billboard 200. The Hot 100's fastest-growing track at retail is Coo Coo Cal's "My Projects," which rises 93-81 and strolls 37-26 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks tally. The cut is also No. 1 on Billboard's Hot Rap Singles chart.
The top debut on the Hot 100 this week is Afroman's "Because I Got High" at No. 67. Other notable debuts include Nelly Furtado's "Turn Off the Light" at No. 69, Tim McGraw's "Angry All the Time" at No. 70, Nivea's "Don't Mess with the Radio" at No. 90, and Lil' Bow Wow's "Ghetto Girls at No. 91.
Despite having the No. 1 song on Billboard's Hot Country Singles & Tracks tally with "Austin," Blake Shelton isn't able to make it past the longstanding cinematic entries on top of Billboard's Top Country Albums chart. His self-titled Warner Bros. release lands at No. 3, behind the Curb soundtrack to "Coyote Ugly" and the Mercury soundtrack to "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" The latter set is No. 1 for a sixteenth non-consecutive week.
Staind's "It's Been Awhile" wasn't able to stay any longer atop Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart, falling to No. 2 after 16 weeks, tying a longevity record set by the Red Hot Chili Peppers with "Scar Tissue." Snotty young punks Sum 41 take over at No. 1 with "Fat Lip." "It's Been Awhile" is, however, No. 1 atop Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks tally for a 17th straight week.

Conservative, David Dewhurst, Election 2012, Philosophy, Politics, Republican, Ted Cruz, Texas
Comments on the Cruz-Patrick Debate
Posted by bnuckols ⋅ July 3, 2012
Filed Under Dan Patrick
An advocate for Ted Cruz has commented on the June 30th WingRight review of the confrontation between Texas State Senator Dan Patrick and Ted Cruz, here.
"Cruz is a champion of the advice from the Sun Tsu's Art of War: "Call your enemy what you are." That's not my favorite lesson from the book, and it's not an upright, ethical philosophy for life except in life and death struggles.
"Cruz shouldn't have gone on the offensive right off the bat. He sure shouldn't have said flat out that Senator Patrick, a respected and respectable radio news commentator, has been fed questions from the Dewhurst campaign. He impugned Patrick's honor and his journalism. He then claimed to have "seen" the Senator repeatedly acting as a "surrogate" for Governor Dewhurst.
"The occasions in which Patrick said negative things against Dewhurst were said in anger, between May 24 and June 2 – all from a single episode on May 24. As he said, he is not angry at Dewhurst anymore. He's probably regretting words he said in anger in the presence of a reporter. While "all's fair in love and war," Cruz should remember Patrick's advice: he needs to learn to ask advice and that, come August, we will all have to learn to work together as Republicans.
"Everyone may listen to the interview/confrontation for themselves, so we'll let them decide whether or not Cruz "handled himself well. I obviously think he showed us a side of himself that he's been trying to conceal – the angry, conspiracy-weaving side that will not accept any criticism.
"Senator Dan Patrick has said that he won't endorse in this race, although he could be forgiven after the accusations by Cruz in this interview. Why do you accuse him of not meaning what he says?"

CCI slaps Rs 2.75-cr fine on 3 firms, officials for bid rigging
CADD and Pentacle acted as proxy bidders to pre-determine the outcome of the tender process, it alleged
The Competition Commission of India (CCI) has imposed a total penalty of Rs 2.7 crore on three firms for indulging in anti-competitive practices by colluding to rig bid of a tender floated by Pune Municipal Corporation. Pentacle Consultants Pvt Ltd was fined Rs 1.33 crore, SAAR IT Resources Pvt Ltd Rs 1.26 crore and CADD Systems and Services Pvt Ltd Rs 0.11 crore, as per CCI orders.
Besides, SAAR IT's two directors, a managing director of CADD Systems and a director of Pentacle Consultants were fined a total of Rs 5.45 lakh by the competition watchdog.
The ruling came on a complaint filed by Nagrik Chetna Manch, a Pune-based organisation working for public causes after it alleged that a tender floated by PMC in year 2015 for carrying out geo-enabled tree census was rigged by the three firms.
CADD and Pentacle acted as proxy bidders to pre-determine the outcome of the tender process, it alleged.
After prima facie finding violations of the Competition Act, the CCI in the year 2017 had asked its investigation arm director general to initiate probe against the firms.
Based on the director general's report and submissions of the firms, the regulator found that there was cogent evidence of bid rigging/collusive bidding by the companies in the tender process in contravention of Section 3 of Competition Act.
Section 3 pertains to anti-competitive agreements.
Besides, the Commission also found meeting of mind and co-ordination between various individuals which included the directors of companies to rig the tender, by way of submitting proxy bids, the regulator added.
"...the Commission finds that OP-1, OP-2, and OP-3 (three firms) entered into an arrangement to rig the bids pertaining to Tender... floated by OP-4 (Pune Municipal Corporation)... and are hence responsible for infringement of the provisions of Section 3 of the Act and are liable to be penalised," CCI said in an order dated August 2.
Subsequently, a monetary penalty was imposed on the firms and the officials.

Today I received an envelope with new stamps from Designs By Ryn, and felt a sudden urge to try them on a small but useful project.
I used a Basic Grey paper in Christmas colors to make the bookmark – only folds, no glue.
I also used a manila CS, making a background using the Floral Spirals stencil, colored by mustard seed Distress ink.
Then I stamped more leaves on the manila CS, and cut them carefully.
I glued 2 leaves on top of the bookmark with double sided foam tape… Done!
I enjoyed this little project, I hope you like it too.

Middle School Tour Bookings
Mission ServiceCharlton Christian College2018-08-14T03:26:25+10:00
At Charlton we have a desire to teach our students to have an outward focus and a desire to contribute to others and the world they live in. Our Mission and Service trips therefore are an important part of achieving this. We provide opportunities for students from Junior, Middle and Senior School to participate in local and overseas mission trips each year.
Our staff are always looking for opportunities that will broaden students perspectives and experiences in order to equip them to be responsible and contributing global citizens.
Students, staff and parents
from Junior School head to Manila each year to serve in the Payatas Dumpsite, The King Solomon Christian School and the residents of Safehaven.
Many friendships are formed between our students and the local families that will last
a life time.
We believe students are never too young for mission.
Each year our students and staff head to the Northern Territory to serve alongside Youth with a Mission Outback in Darwin.
Our students love helping others by mowing their lawns, digging weeds, gardening and mulching as well as helping students learn basic maths and reading skills.
It feels good to help others who have a bigger need than ours.
Our senior students and staff love heading to the Philippines each year to help serve families that live in the Payatas Rubbish Dump.
We have assisted these families by setting up a small feeding program which helps the malnourished children.
Our students find this a life changing experience and feel a need to help others when they return back to their communities.
Instead of heading off to the Gold Coast for schoolies
a group of Year 12 students save money and fundraise each year to head to Nepal to serve others.
This mission trip is a life changing experience
for our students who have a heart to serve others.
They have commented they would rather do this service trip then holiday for themselves.

When times are tough in the world, and they continue to be, it's important to figure out ways of making due with your art when the art itself is not self-sustaining. Sure, we wish we could all be a major film company and use our existing capital to finance a film and recoup all costs, and make a profit, once ticket sales come pouring in. Unfortunately, that is not an option for nearly every film maker in the world. So here are some recession-proof ways of riding out the lean times.
One way to make some money is to share your gift and talents with the younger generation. You can organize and teach some classes for the kids on how to make movies. You can even make the material cost be quite low, since most children have iPhones or other smart phones with cameras. You can talk about framing, and pace of film, and all the other aspects of film making. It could be a very popular class in your community.
A young boy has different media images around his head.
You can contact local news outlets and other TV stations and offer your filming services. It is not selling out: it's supporting your art by using your artistic skills and at the same time, you'll be expanding your experience and knowledge. It's win-win during the tough times. Since many organizations are cutting back on full time employees, freelancing is actually still a viable avenue these days.
Focus on making a video or a project that could get picked up by the masses. Instead of making long films that take months to product, try getting your name out there with many smaller projects that can be uploaded to Vimeo and shared among the movie-loving nerds of the internet. If you can catch the attention of a Vimeo staffer you could get your film promoted and you'll be viral before you know it. Then your name will be out there and that will lend credibility to your future work.
We often want our money up front or at least guaranteed. But perhaps sometimes it's better to work on the promise of money instead of the guarantee of money, and that can sometimes lead to even more money. Many sites allow you to upload a movie for free and then there will be a virtual tip jar. You'll be surprised at people's generosity if the project is indeed creative and good.
There are companies online that allow you to distribute your film for free. For example, Indieflix is designed to empower the new and non-major player film makers. They distribute the films online to places like Hulu and Netflix. Sure they take a commission, but a 30% commission off a sum of money is better than no sum of money at all. Also, you maintain all ownership and rights to the film. It's a win-win, and an avenue that should be explored.


Trash pick-up, festivals, Olympics prep and economy will suffer.
Monte Paulsen is a contributing editor at The Tyee. He welcomes your feedback via e-mail, and invites you to participate in the online discussion happening below.
The Lower Mainland is going to smell a whole lot worse this summer if 12,000 unionized workers -- including the men and women who collect the region's garbage -- strike the 14 municipalities that make up the Greater Vancouver Regional District (GVRD). Three-quarters of the region's municipal workers have voted to strike.
"As of noon today, I'd say there's a strong possibility we will strike," said Paul Faoro on Monday. Faoro is president of Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) Local 15, which represents indoor workers at City of Vancouver and the parks board.
A strike notice could be issued as early as this evening, or as soon as the BC Labour Relations Board issues a decision about what city services will be deemed essential. Work would stop 72 hours after a strike notice is issued.
"This week is critical," Faoro said. "Things are either going to get done, or they are going to hit the wall."
The Vancouver Folk Music Festival, the Illumanares Lantern Procession and swimming pools are among the summer passions that could melt away in a general strike.
Construction on projects including the Canada Line, Olympic Village and Richmond Oval could also be delayed, thwarting VANOC's promises to deliver the 2010 Winter Games on time and on budget.
On the plus side, there would be no parking tickets this summer.
Most municipal workers have operated without a contract since December 2006. They claim they are being pushed into a strike by Lower Mainland municipalities, particularly the City of Vancouver.
"Mayor Sullivan holds the key," Faoro said. "He just needs to bargain. We'll consider any proposal. All the mayor needs to do to avert a strike is to instruct bargainers to come to the table with a fair contract."
"We are working to try and avert any work stoppage on behalf of the taxpayers," wrote Sullivan spokesman David Hurford in an e-mail on Monday. "It is my understanding they are still bargaining this afternoon.
Faoro said there were no talks scheduled for Monday, and added that Sullivan had denied union requests to meet.
"Mayor Sullivan has not been present. He's leading us down the path of a strike through his absence," said City Councillor Raymond Louie, of the opposition Vision Vancouver party.
"Perhaps the mayor fails to understand the economic impact this will have on citizens and business." Louie said. "This is going to be very costly if we don't settle; costly both from a financial standpoint, as well as from a social standpoint."
If the municipalities' website is to be believed, this strike is about half a percentage point.
The Greater Vancouver Regional Labour Relations Bureau negotiates on behalf of member municipalities in the Greater Vancouver Regional District (GVRD). The labour bureau did not reply to calls and e-mails requesting comment for this article.
Realtor and White Rock Councillor Stewart Peddemors, who chairs the bureau, has said that municipal employers paid too much in past, and now seek a minor correction. The labour bureau website explains that municipalities granted raises of 2.5 per cent per year for the past few years, while the actual cost of living increase in Greater Vancouver was closer to 2 percent.
Peddemors and the bureau note that workers in the City of Port Moody and civilian staff at Port Moody Police Board accepted a package last fall that is basically the same as the one now being offered. The bureau had hoped for a similar outcome in Delta last week, but municipal employees there rejected an offer that reportedly included a wage hike of three per cent per year. The Delta contract was the first vote among municipal workers in strike position, and stoked strike talk throughout the region.
Neither side will discuss the detail of negotiations, but union organizers in Vancouver said they are being asked for concessions on vacation time, wages for lower paid workers, job security and bumping rights. For example, the City of Vancouver reportedly wants to freeze the wages of the city's 150 building service workers.
Union organizers complain that freezing wages on the lowest-paid city workers is unfair during a period when top city managers have rewarded themselves with record raises. City Manager Judy Rogers earned $318,838 in 2006 -- $48,367 more than she earned in 2005, according to the city's 2006 Statement of Financial Information.
Other top Vancouver earners include community services manager Jacquie Forbes-Roberts ($199,032), Olympic operations manager Dave Rudberg ($196,119), legal services manager Francie Connell ($195,284), parks and recreation manager Susan Mundick ($190,428) and city engineer Tom Timm ($190,269).
Beneath the shimmering illusion that this strike is about money lies the reality that this confrontation is compelled by the omnipresent force that is the 2010 Winter Games.
Led by the City of Vancouver, GVRD municipalities are insisting on a 39-month contract that would expire -- you guessed it -- in March 2010, right after the Olympics conclude.
The Labour Bureau denied any connection between the Olympics and its insistence on a 39-month contract: "The end of the contract term of March 31, 2010 aligns itself with key agreements covering more than 100,000 public sector employees in the province of British Columbia."
"We're not going to enter into a new collective bargaining process weeks after the closing ceremonies of the Olympics," Faoro said. "I'm not the brightest negotiator around but I certainly wouldn't want to do it two weeks after all the bills come in from the Olympics, when they're already projecting cost overruns."
CUPE sources have said the union is open to a longer term.
"We're open to negotiating," Faoro said, "but a 39-month term ain't on."
Faoro also raised concerns about a delay in whistleblower legislation -- a law to protect municipal employees who help expose waste or wrongdoing in government.
"Our union has been asking for whistleblower protection for our members for over a year. City council passed a motion that said they should implement the policy by the end of last year. The negotiators for the city of Vancouver said they are not interested in issuing whistleblower protection. Why?" Faoro asked.
"Whistleblower protection protects taxpayers, too," he said. "With all the money flowing through Olympic capital projects right now, not having simple language like whistleblower protection is simply irresponsible."
"The last thing we want to do is strike," Faoro stressed. "If in fact we serve 72 hours notice, and if in fact we pull everything, then pretty much all municipal services in the City of Vancouver, as well as the parks board, will be completely shut down."
Community centres, golf courses and outdoor pools would be shut down. Events such as the Vancouver Folk Music Festival, the Illuminares light festival in Trout Lake Park and the Powell Street Festival in Oppenheimer Park would find it difficult to operate without city support.
"None of that is covered by essential services," Faoro said.
Development permits, engineering, homeless housing outreach, parking enforcement and just about every other city hall service would likely be shut down as well, though managers would provide as much service as possible. City building inspectors spent months reviewing the wave of illegal demolitions and renovations that occurred during the last general strike.
"At the works yards, road construction, street repair, sanitation, the transfer station would be closed, the Burns Bog landfill would be closed as well," Faoro said.
Water, sewer and electrical supply are essential to continued progress on complex construction projects such as the Canada Line (RAV line), the Olympic Village development, the Richmond Oval and other Olympic-related projects.
"I'm not going to comment directly on the RAV line or the Olympic Village. All I'm going to say is that we are aware of those projects," Faoro said.
Under B.C.'s Labour Relations Code, a union cannot go on strike before a designation has been made regarding services whose disruption could pose a threat to the health, safety, or welfare of citizens in the province. That decision is before a hearing that begins this morning on West Hastings Street.
"In the past we've only had a handful of essential service positions designated." Faoro said. "Those have been like a gas inspector on call for a gas leak, an environmental technician in case of a hazardous spill."
What remains to be seen is how well -- and how long -- the autonomous CUPE locals hang together. For while the municipalities bargain as one, the union locals are free to make their own decision. Strike pay tops out at $250 a week, and so it will only take a few weeks before city workers will have to dip into savings to pay the rent.
Vancouver's CUPE locals appear to be on the most aggressive footing, facing off against senior city managers who appear emboldened by the pro-business council dominated by Mayor Sullivan and the Non-Partisan Alliance.
But Burnaby mayor Derek Corrigan has reportedly said that if other cities are drawn into a general strike, they may decide to negotiate their own deals.
Three provincial labour leaders reflect on a holiday born of struggle.

he Lyapunov analysis is a well established tool to explore chaotic dynamics. Currently, different types of so-called, in a generic fashion, "Lyapunov vectors" are computed in the most diverse applications ranging from engineering through applied mathematics and physics to atmospheric sciences. Depending on the context, researchers use backward Lyapunov vectors, singular Lyapunov vectors, bred vectors, finite-time Lyapunov vectors, and so on. All these quantities often have different physical interpretation and only provide access to pieces of partial information about the complexity puzzle. The workshop will promote an active and lively discussion of recent developments concerning the different types of Lyapunov-like vectors, their characterization and potential use in forecasting of spatially extended chaotic systems. The workshop covers both theoretical aspects and practical implementations in realistic applications.

FAQs: Mid Size Jets for Sale
Here are the most Frequently Asked Questions for Mid Size Jets for sale
What is the most popular Mid-Size Jet model?
The Bombardier Challenger 300 is the best-selling Mid-Size Jet model to date. According to JETNET data, 457 units were sold over a production run lasting between 2003 and 2014.
How much does a Mid-Size Jet cost?
While brand new Mid-Size Jets cost between $9.25m and $23.0m, per Aircraft Bluebook's Winter 2021 data, buyers shopping the pre-owned market will find an even wider range of pricing. For example, while a 2021 model Gulfstream G280 costs $22.0m, a 2012 model costs an average $11.0m.
How safe are Light Jets to fly?
Mid-Size Jets are very safe to fly. The modern production aircraft in this category all incorporate highly sophisticated all-glass avionics suites that include excellent situational awareness instruments.
How fast do Mid-Size Jets fly?
With a few exceptions, the Mid-Size Jets are a little slower than Large Jets, but faster than many of the Light Jets. The majority of aircraft in this category have a top cruise speed somewhere between 430kts and 480kts. The notable exception is the Cessna Citation X (525kts), which once held the title as the fastest civilian jet.
Mid-Size Jets For Sale Overview
By Matt Harris
A mid-size jet puts the US East coast within non-stop reach of the West Coast, while the super mid-size jets at the top end of the category are capable of crossing the Atlantic non-stop. Buyers can expect a mid-size jet cabin to offer a galley area, enclosed lavatory and accessible luggage area.
Mid-Size Jets offer a wide range of capabilities that bridge the gap between the biggest Light Jets and the smaller, trans-continental Large Jets. Categorized here as jets weighing between 20,001lbs and 40,000lbs, aircraft in the Mid-Size Jet category typically seat between six and nine passengers.
Manufacturers currently building Mid-Size Jets include Bombardier Challenger, Cessna, Embraer, and Gulfstream. The pre-owned market includes many models built by these same OEMs that are no longer in production, while additional popular Mid-Size Jets built by Bombardier Learjet, Dassault, Hawker and others can also be found.
Aircraft at the lower end of the Mid-Size Jet segment (for example, the Bombardier Learjet 75 and Cessna Citation XLS+) are capable of non-stop ranges of nearly 2,000 nautical miles, whereas the larger jets within the segment – often referred to as 'Super Mid-Size Jets' have transcontinental capabilities between 3,000 and 4,000 nautical miles, connecting the east and west coasts of the United States.
Super Mid-Size Jet examples include the Bombardier Challenger 350, Gulfstream G280 and Embraer Praetor 600, among others.
Essentially, Mid-Size Jets provide a good travel solution for charter operators and businesses needing to carry more people than the Light Jets can over similar distances, or to carry similar passenger payloads as the Light Jets typically do, but over greater distances.
The offset is that Mid-Size Jets need to operate from longer runways than lighter jets, and therefore cannot access as many airports as smaller private jets can.
Inevitably, with higher performance capability also comes with greater operating and acquisition costs. According to Aircraft Bluebook's Winter 2021 data, a new Mid-Size Jet costs between $9.25m (for a Bombardier Learjet 75 Liberty) and $23.0m for a Super Mid-Size Cessna Citation Longitude.
Jets in the Mid-Size category also begin to offer more connectivity options than their smaller counterparts, since the larger airframes are able to facilitate some of the required antennas for the more sophisticated satellite communications. This enhances the productivity of the cabin occupants, while cabin comfort is enhanced with more extensive galley and lavatory facilities.

'Superman: The Movie' Director Planned to Introduce Brainiac If He Had Stayed on With the Films
By Jenna Anderson - December 21, 2018 11:05 am EST
Quite an array of Superman stories have been told through film over the past few decades, and it sounds like Richard Donner's take on the character almost went in a major direction.
In a recent interview with 13th Dimension, Donner was asked about his work on Superman: The Movie and Superman II, and what he would have potentially done if he'd gotten to make more sequels. As he revealed, one significant Superman villain would've been part of the proceedings.
"Well, Brainiac." Donner explained. "There was a little bit of Brainiac that was going to be in it, but no. [Writer] Tom [Mankiewicz] and I had some really great thoughts. Because he was also a good director. And what we were going to do was, we would write the next one [II] and I would direct that, and we'd do the third one and Tom would direct that. And so on, for as long as it lasted. But the producers [Alexander and Ilya Salkind] didn't see our relationship to the films as we did, so I was not brought back."
As DC fans will remember, Donner was famously replaced midway through Superman II, leading to Richard Lester finishing out the project. So while Donner might not have gotten to carry out the rest of the franchise as he'd intended, he'd definitely had an interest in bringing Brainiac onto the big screen.
"Well, [Brainiac was] one of the villains [I wanted to tackle], yes." Donner continued. "I mean, I felt there was a different way of approaching it, but the intellect of Brainiac was very exciting."
While Brainiac has since been brought into live-action in several DC television shows, the notion that he could have appeared in Donner's films is certainly interesting. Fans will surely wonder how that could have potentially influenced future versions of the character, or if we would have even gotten the more modern portrayals seen on Krypton and Injustice 2.
"There are many, many iterations of Braniac out there, so certain things I can probably tell you, and certain things I have to be a little coy about," Blake Ritson said of his role as the Collector of Worlds on Krypton. "I suppose the first thing I should say, is this is a Braniac you have never seen on screen before. This is a very different. I think the only time he's ever been in live action is Smallville, where he was effectively self-aware AI, and in that version, he appeared as a 20th Century human professor. This one will not be like that. He will be infinitely more terrifying."
Would you have wanted to see Brainiac appear in Donner's Superman movies? Share your thoughts with us in the comments below.

Scream 5 release date, trailer, cast, and more – when does Ghostface return?
Scream 5 is bringing Ghostface back to Woodsboro - here's the release date, trailer, cast, and everything else we know
Anthony McGlynn
When does Scream 5 come out? Ghostface returns for another instalment in the horror movie series, once again stalking Woodsboro for Sidney Prescott and anyone unlucky enough to be around her. Thankfully, some of Sidney's old friends, and a few new ones, are around to help ward off yet another copycat killer who's watched too many scary movies.
As the first Scream without the involvement of Wes Craven, Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett are the co-directors with the unenviable task of following the terror master and continuing his legacy. They're joined by screenwriters James Vanderbilt and Guy Busick in piecing together the next bloody chapter in Woodboro's history, with Sidney and recurring allies Gale Weathers and Dewey Riley right at the centre.
Once again, nobody is safe until the murderer is caught, and the longer that takes, the higher the body count. Staying alive requires knowing how stories like these play out. We know a thing or three about the rules of a good slasher movie, and we've sniffed out all the clues on Scream 5 to keep you one step ahead of any masked vigilantes. This is everything we know about the upcoming sequel.
Scream 5 release date: When is Scream 5 out?
The movie is coming right at the start of 2022, with Scream 5 arriving to theatres on January 14, 2022. This date was announced in August 2020, with an ominous tweet featuring an animated video of the Ghostface mask from the official Scream Twitter account.
Reader beware: The best Netflix horror movies
Despite that news coming smack dab in the middle of the prolonged lockdowns due to Covid-19, the date has held firm, with no sign of any complications or delays. Filming and post-production appear to have occurred without a hitch, giving everyone a new year's thrill to look forward to.
Scream 5 trailer: is there a trailer for Scream 5?
Yes, there is, and it's a good one. In the first Scream 5 trailer, we get the return of Campbell, Cox, and Arquette, the remaining three of the original cast whose characters are still alive. Naturally, right alongside them is the new Ghostface, another try-hard with a blade who seems to worship at the altar of Sidney's prolonged suffering over the years.
The rest of the trailer is all about the newbies to the Scream franchise. We've got the likes of Jack Quaid, of The Boys fame, Jenna Ortega, Mason Gooding, and Dylan Minnette among the fresh meat cast who learn the hard way being a co-star of Neve Campbell's in one of these films can be very stressful.
Scream 5 plot: what happens in Scream 5?
The actual story of the new Scream movie has been kept vague, but we don't really need to know a whole lot. Another Ghostface has popped up in Woodsboro, and this happens either when Sidney's visiting her downtrodden hometown, or she's dragged back to help deal with all the bloodshed. Gale and Dewey are there because they're the only ones Sidney can truly lean on for understanding about the whole situation.
Meanwhile, there's plenty of fresh-faced college students and what not around for our next Ghostface to prey on. The synopsis says whoever is behind the killing wants to reveal "secrets from the town's deadly past", making it seem like we might get some revelations about the previous films in some shape or form. As is typical of the series, there are some meta elements, with Ghostface telling Sidney that "it's an honour" to meet her, playing into the commentary around how we worship villains and victims alike.
In for a scare: The best Amazon Prime horror movies
The official plot synopsis reads: "25 years after a streak of brutal murders shocked the quiet town of Woodsboro, a new killer has donned the Ghostface mask and begins targeting a group of teenagers to resurrect secrets from the town's deadly past."
Scream 5 cast: who is in Scream 5?
There's quite a large cast in Scream 5, and we know many of the confirmed characters. Of course, you have Campbell, Arquette, and Cox, and then there's Roger L Jackson, the voice of Ghostface in every Scream production thus far. Marley Shelton reprises her role as Judy Hicks, now the sheriff of Woodsboro after appearing as the deputy in the first and fourth movies.
Then we have the new generation of Woodsboro. Minette plays Wes Hicks, Marley's son, and Quaid is playing Richie Kirsch. Ortega and Gooding's characters are named Tara and Chad, which is as much as is known about the rest of the supporting cast.
The confirmed cast for Scream 5 is:
Neve Campbell as Sidney Prescott
Courtney Cox as Gale Weathers
David Arquette as Dewey Riley
Marley Shelton as Judy Hicks
Roger L Jackson as Ghostface (voice)
Dylan Minnette as Wes Hicks
Mikey Madison as Amber
Kyle Gallner as Vince
Jasmin Savoy Brown as Mindy Meeks-Martin
Sonia Ben Ammar as Liv
Jenna Ortega as Tara
Jack Quaid as Richie Kirsch
Melissa Barrera as Sam Carpenter
Mason Gooding as Chad
And that's everything we know about Scream 5. This all said, we understand enough about killers making a comeback to keep one eye over our shoulder, and when we see something suspicious, this guide will be updated with whatever news we find. In the meantime, you can check out the best horror movies of 2021, for more chills to catch up on.

De album top 100 aller tijden is een Nederlands radio-evenement dat jaarlijks in het voorjaar wordt uitgezonden door NPO Radio 2, NPO 3FM ("Hemelse Honderd"), Kink FM (101 of 300 albums) en Radio Veronica (album top 1000 aller tijden). In sommige jaren werd ook door de VPRO zo'n lijst samengesteld. N.B. In 2021 is tot op vandaag op Radio Veronica nog geen nieuwe album aller tijden lijst samengesteld en/of uitgezonden!

Net zoals bij de (single) top 100 aller tijden wordt de album top 100 aller tijden samengesteld door de luisteraars die via de website van bovengenoemde radiostations een persoonlijke album top 10 digitaal via het internet kunnen insturen. Twee voorwaarden voor de persoonlijke top 10 zijn echter: niet tweemaal of vaker dezelfde artiest, band enz. en geen albums kiezen die nog geen heel jaar oud zijn. Men kan zowel bij de (single) top 100 aller tijden als ook bij de album top 100 aller tijden deze top 100's aller tijden die door de jaren heen zijn samengesteld bij elkaar gaan optellen en dan verkrijgt men een zogeheten 'puntenlijst'.

In tegenstelling tot de single top 100 aller tijden bestond tot 2006 nog geen album-'puntenlijst' van de album top 100 aller tijden-lijsten tezamen vanaf 1973, het eerste jaar dat Radio Veronica (zeezender) een album (toen nog) top 50 aller tijden uitzond. Deze album allertijden puntenlijst, ook wel totaallijst genoemd, is in 2006 berekend en t/m 2018 bijgewerkt met de bovenste 100 albums van de album top 750 aller tijden lijsten van Radio Veronica. De jaarlijkse Hemelse Honderd op NPO 3FM, jaarlijks uitgezonden op Hemelvaartsdag wordt niet voor deze lijst gebruikt omdat in die lijst jaarlijks nogal wat albums staan die nog niet zo'n tien jaar oud zijn, die albumlijst is i.t.t. de album lijsten van Radio Veronica en die van NPO Radio 2 daarom wat te 'jeugdig' voor de totaallijst, en ditzelfde geldt ook voor de jaarlijkse album top 1000 aller tijden op Kink.

N.B. NPO Radio 2 heeft in 2010 en 2011 geen album top 100 uitgezonden en daarom zijn daarvoor de bovenste 100 van de album top 750 respectievelijk album top 1000 van Radio Veronica, edities 2010 en 2011 voor deze totaallijst gebruikt. In 2013 bleek echter dat er helaas geen vrije keuzes mogelijk waren op de Album Top 100 van NPO Radio 2 (deze Top 100 was hierdoor 'gemanipuleerd' door de KRO) en daarom is nu weer de albumlijst van Radio Veronica hiervoor gebruikt (zie voorgaande alinea). Ook in 2014 t/m 2020 is weer de albumlijst van Radio Veronica hiervoor gebruikt, omdat in geheel 2014 t/m 2021 en ook in geheel 2022 geen Album Top 100 werd uitgezonden op NPO Radio 2, NPO 3FM en/of op NPO Radio 5, wordt daarom net zoals in 2014 t/m 2019 weer de bóvenste honderd albums van de album top (nu) 500 van Radio Veronica (editie 2020) hiervoor gebruikt. In 2021 en ook in 2022 is echter door Radio Veronica geen 'album allertijden lijst' uitgezonden en daarom is als vervanger nu de bóvenste 100 van de 'album top 1000 allertijden' van Kink FM hiervoor gebruikt. Indien in geheel 2023 weer geen 'album allertijden lijst' blijkt te zijn uitgezonden door Radio Veronica, wordt dàn opnieuw de bóvenste 100 (dan editie 2023) van de 'album top 1000 allertijden' van Kink FM hiervoor gebruikt.

Q: Quasar QDrawer component - prevent close It is possible to prevent closing drawer if user has unfinished work in it? So I can popup confirmation, etc..?
I was looking for some input like can-be-closed="canBeClosed", then I look into dialog component which has its similarities. I did found no-backdrop-dismiss attribute, but it wasn't implemented on drawer.

A: Yes, as its visibility is driven by input value you can use :value/@input combo instead of v-model and put custom logic in between.
<q-drawer
      :value="showDrawer"
      side="right"
      @input="logicShowDrawer"
    >

in logicShowDrawer you can decide whether you set prop showDrawer to true or not

How Many Players Are on the Field at a Time Per Play in Football?
By Staff WriterLast Updated Apr 15, 2020 12:47:21 AM ET
Ronald Martinez/Getty Images Sport/Getty Images
In an official American football game, there are a total of 22 players with 11 players from each team on the field per play. Any team that fields more than 11 players per play receives a penalty.
The positions of the players on the field are primarily determined by whether their team is on offense or defense. The usual offensive formation involves five offensive lineman, a quarterback and a mix of various running backs, wide receivers and tight ends. The defensive side consists of three to four defensive lineman, followed by a row of three or four linebackers. The last part of the defense is normally made up of two safeties and two cornerbacks.

Enoch Adegoke Finishes His Olymic Debut On A Sad Note
Tokyo Olympics: Three Nigerian athletes qualify for finals
Enoch Adegoke's impressive Olympics debut ended on a sad note after he tore his hamstring in the men's 100m final.
Enoch had a good start-up until the moment he tore his hamstring which ended his push for a medal.
The Nigerian athlete got to his second 100m final in a major competition at Tokyo 2020 Olympics after his impressive debut at the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games.
Prior to that injury, Enoch Adegoke became Nigeria's first 100m Olympic finalist since 1996 clocking 10.00s in heat 2 of men's 100m semi-final, 25 years after Davidson Ezinwa at Atlanta '96.
In the heats, Enoch joined 10 other Nigerians in the exclusive club of sprinters who ran a sub 10secs in the 100m.
Enoch Adegoke has progressively grown since his debut at the Commonwealth Games in 2018.
He was not on the list of medal prospects going to the Olympics as he was based in Nigeria, he was also in contention in the race until he pulled the hamstring.
Italy's Lamont Lamont Jacobs won the race with a time of 9.80s while Fred Kerley of the United States 9.84s and Andre de Grasse of Canada with a time of 9.89s PB finished second and third respectively.

Book Review: The Sports Gene by David Epstein, and the Fascinating Science behind Athletic Performance
David Epstein, Senior Writer for Sports Illustrated, addresses questions about nature and nurture in the context of athletic success in his compelling new book, The Sports Gene.
By David Castillo@DavidCastilloAC Aug 8, 2013, 6:00pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: Book Review: The Sports Gene by David Epstein, and the Fascinating Science behind Athletic Performance
David Epstein's seminal contribution to sports and science.
Pop science has taken a hit over the last few years, especially as journalists have attempted to make sense of subjects like neuroscience. The most high profile paragon turned pariah was Jonah Lehrer, who sabotaged himself by fabricating Bob Dylan quotes. However, for a lot of critics, it wasn't the plagiarism that was the real problem with Lehrer, but rather, his Gladwellian presentation of the complex scientific ideas he was writing about.
This is the dilemma for any science writer: making science digestible to the layman without being condescending (while sacrificing the complexity of the ideas in the process). Enter Sports Illustrated's David Epstein. In his fantastic new book, The Sports Gene, Epstein broaches a wide range of topics in a way that is at once fiercely literate, and intensely sympathetic.
The craft and class on display is owed, at least in part, to the sobering story of Epstein's former training partner and friend, Kevin Richards, who dropped dead during a February race at Evanston Township High School in 2000. The cause was a genetic disease known as Hypertrophic Cardiomyapothy; a single genetic alteration Epstein describes as "like a single typo in a string of letters vast enough to fill thirteen complete sets of the Enyclopaedia Britannica." And out of that typo, a tragic loss for the friends and family of Kevin Richards.
This experience set the stage for his curiosity about genetics, and out of the curiosity, broader questions about race and gender in sports, and how nature and nurture interact to influence athletic performance. While Epstein adheres to the story-study-lesson cycle of popular science writing, there's nothing formulaic about the book, nor is there a "lesson" to be packaged.
Right away Epstein takes aim at at these pop culture simplifications about athletic success and the "10,000" hour rule. In a chapter titled 'A Tale of Two Jumpers', Epstein unpacks the real meaning of K. Anders Ericsson famous "10,000-hour rule" study, emphasizing that complexity with a story about Stefan Holm; a Swedish high jumper who won gold in 2004 at Athens, and who explained his success as the result of Gladwell's book, "Outliers" and how he reached a 10,000-hour+ endzone. Now imagine his confusion when looking at the man who beat him in the 2007 World Championships in Japan; Donald Thomas, a 6'2 Bahamian high jumper, and former basketball player, who didn't even get into the sport he'd win gold in until only months prior.
Epstein is interested in the role "nature" plays in athletic performance, and there's a clear emphasis on human biology. What separates Epstein's book from most pop science books is that he isn't looking to boost ticket fees for his public speaking tour (though he may well have to consider this first world dilemma after more people open this book). He's not selling certainty; he's selling the complexity.
Some of this is by design. There's no way you can talk about race as a factor in athletic performance, and not tread lightly.
No subject better reflects that deftness than on the chapters on West Africans and their overrepresentation in world class sprinting.
The simple truth of Jamaican dominance doesn't require much explanation. Jamaica, a small island of less than 3 million citizens, produces the world's top sprinters. Usain Bolt, and Veronica Campbell-Brown hail from Trelawny Parish, Jamaica and even 100 meter record holders from Canada and the UK are Jamaicain expatriates (Ben Johnson being the most famous).
In selling the complexity, Epstein identifies the theories rather than the facts. Elaborating on Jamaican dominance in sprinting, there's a unique section in the book about how Jamaican sprinters from Trelawny can potentially trace their genetic roots from the fierce 17th century slaves known as the Maroons; slaves who earned their independence from the British ahead of emancipation schedule. But while DNA research isn't able to say much about the so called "Warrior-Slave Theory of Jamaican Sprinting" (Jamaicans are very genetically diverse), DNA research does reveal that Jamaicans are locked and loaded when it comes to ACTN3 (the so called "sprint" or 'speed gene').
Genes trigger the production of proteins to guide a cell's function in order to produce traits. ACTN3 triggers the production of a protein called Alpha-Actinin-3 that guides muscle cells to contract and fire rapidly. Having ACTN3 doesn't guarantee being athletic and explosive, but trends are revealing enough; like how having two disrupted copies of ACTN3 is incredibly rare among elite sprinters. Jamaicans, not surprisingly, are underrepresented when it comes to endurance sports.
This then leads to fascinating theory about what malaria and muscle fibers have in common (and what it has to do with ACTN3). According to Jamaican medical researcher Errol Morrison (with the help of the speechwriter to Jamaican prime minister Michael Manley, and friend, Patrick Cooper):
The hypothesis: that malaria in western Africa forced the proliferation of genes that protect against it, and that those genes, which reduce an individual's ability to make energy aerobically, led to a shift in more fast twitch muscle fibers, which are less dependent upon oxygen for energy production.
What's unique about Morrison's theory is that we already know a few things about malaria and West Africans. It's one of the most popular tales of human evolution: the stronger the presence of malaria in a given population, the more likely that population will produce the sickle-cell trait within its population.
This is because that as the blood cell assumes its unique, sickle shape due to decreased hemoglobin (and thus iron), the less effectively that pathogen can spread.
The 2nd part of Morrison and Cooper's theory has little evidence, leaving Epstein to recount a single UCLA study on mice, who when put on iron-deficient diets, suddenly "develop" fast twitch muscle fibers. Epstein makes it a point to emphasize that this is terrible evidence in the grand (and small) scheme of things, but that these are how theories are born.
But where Jamaicans may seems to emphasize nature's oversized role, they stand in stark contrast to Kenyans. While Kenyans dominate distance running, there is no one gene that seems to stand out (not that any gene does). Instead, their unique environment appears to be the overarching factor; "In one study (Yannis) Pitsiladis conducted with colleagues, 81% of 404 Kenyan professional runners had to run or walk a considerable distance to and from primary school as children. Kenyan kids who rely on their feet to get to and from school have 30% higher aerobic capacities on average than their peers."
This is in addition to altitude, where the Rift Valley offers an environment that increases red blood cell levels while fostering the narrow body type that is said to be good for endurance (explained in the book as "Allen's Rule"; a zoologist who noted that the extremities of animals get longer and more narrow the closer you get to the equator because greater surface area begets quicker heat release).
Throughout the book, you sense Epstein struggle with some of the provocative subject matter. But it's that struggle that makes the book so refreshing. There are no neatly packed conclusions, or accessible soundbites. This is a book about the complicated landscape of human biology, and how it works and doesn't work in the context of sports performance. As a quote attributed to Albert Einstein goes; "if you are out to describe the truth, leave elegance to the tailor." Epstein's book is written with the spirit of this quote through and through, but thankfully he hasn't left the elegance to the tailor.

Why there is crack in IPOB
Tuesday, November 24, 2020 3:41 am
Uche Mefor and Nnamdi Kanu, right
By Nehru Odeh
There seems to be a crack within the Indigenous People of Biafra, as his deputy leader, Uche Mefor has fallen out with Nnamdi Kanu and floated a new radio station called Biafra Human Rights and Freedom Radio (BHRFR}.
Aside from the name of the radio station, which hints at a divergence of paths within the group, Mefor had earlier showed signs of a crack when he deleted his Facebook page in August.
According to reports by Naija News, Mefor fell out with Kanu because he wasn't comfortable with the idea of his former leader consistently claiming that President Muhammadu Buhari is dead and has since been replaced with one Jubril Al Sudanni from Sudan.
That rumour has not only been in the public domain for a long time but has also fuelled wild speculations about the identity of the president and has been a fodder for gossip.
Kanu, on his part, had said in the past that Mefor had cautioned him against peddling such rumour and flying a kite.
"I keep saying this every time, my Deputy, Uche Mefor will say don't say it, don't say that Buhari is dead", Kanu once said in a broadcast on Radio Biafra in February.
Mefor had also clamoured for a change of approach and attitude among IPOB members but his appeals fell on deaf ears and resulted in verbal assaults from members of the group. The estranged IPOB deputy also said to have engaged his leader in a war of words over some disagreements.
This is not surprising as the IPOB leader has been accused of being dictatorial, arrogant, and fraudulent by some of his former allies. It is believed that that the IPOB leader is running the organization for pecuniary gains and not in the interest of the people.
Mefor has also said in a video that is currently circulating that he had been excluded from making broadcasts on Radio Biafra and that Kanu and those working with had effectively sidelined him from doing things that he had been doing before. Mefor also hinted at the floating of another radio station, aside from Radio Biafra without his knowledge. He was also asked to hand over the logging details of Radia Biafa to one Ofomma. He questioned why the IPOB leader should float another radio station and prevented him from making broadcasts on Radio Biafra.
"A number of our people know that there have been one or two issues from time to time. But now it has come to the zenith of it all," Mefor said.
"And I came to a conclusion. And I said, when all these back and forth were going on, that for the sake of those who died in this struggle, that I would hands off office. And then I gave him the details of Radio Biafra.
"If I am a deputy to Nnamdi Kanu why shouldn't I know that another radio station is being opened? … For me this is a humiliation of the highest order. This is an insult because when you talk about the internet/online aspect of Radio Biafra, You cannot write that story, you cannot finish it without talking about me. I worked for this thing for almost one year.
"I have been blackmailed. I have been humiliated in so many ways," Mefor said, adding that he had been portrayed as evil
However, though it is believed that Mefor resigned as IPOB leader, sources very close to Kanu said the IPOB leader secretly dismissed him because he could not condone his overbearing nature. This, according to Naija News, was done secretly to avoid raising unnecessary eyebrows.
Still another source said Mefor took the decision to pull down his Facebook page and remain incommunicado because of security reasons.
Still Mefor was quoted to have said in a report that Nnamdi Kanu crossed the red line after he disgraced their former African representative, George Onyibe.
"What will befall Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB in no distant time will be shocking. Any ear that hears it will tingle," the ally said

There are many inventions in today's world. The GIS or Geographic Information System is one of these inventions. Huge geographic data is gathered by this system. Before the last step of displaying the info, the system initially gathers, scrutinizes, interprets, sorts and distributes the said data. This display is in digital form. Geographic information systems Greenville covers all trains, elevations and any other geographical features. In real sense, the usefulness of this data cannot be quantified.
GIS has numerous uses. One of the common ways that this system is useful is in making real-time maps. Many people know this use only even through there are other numerous applications. On the other hand, maps have numerous applications as well. They help in planning, construction, land allocation, search, and so much more. Mapping is of different types including aerial imagery.
There are other scientific applications that incorporate GIS. All activities that involve exploration of land or even excavation must first acquire the geographical information of that area. Urban planning, forestry, oil and gas mining, agriculture, and environmental assessments are just some of these activities.
When land planning comes into play, Greenville geographic information systems is very much applicable. All kinds of land reclamation, survey and construction are just some of the things involved in the broad are of land planning. Before any step can be taken, the engineers on the ground must first assess the geographic info of the are. This means that the data from the GIS must be present.
GIS is equipped with thermal imaging that helps in detecting any changes on the surface of the earth. This way, it is helpful in the detection and mapping of earthquakes. Any significant tectonic shift can be detected as well. This helps to warn any settlements of imminent danger. Via the thermal imaging, if any fissures open near volcanic mountains, the necessary measures can be taken.
GIS is also used to study climate. Shifts in winds, temperature and other weather patterns affect the surrounding area tremendously. All this info is incorporated by the GIS to help foretell any climatic change. The melting of ice in the Arctic, for instance, has been studied for a long time via GIS.
Another practical use of the GIS is security. First in line to be looked after is the environment. All projects that involve the land like construction need to be done where they cause less harm to the environment. On the same note, the geographical information is phenomenal in tracking any kind of natural disaster. Forest fires, tsunamis, earthquakes, volcano eruptions and the likes can be detected before they happen. Response teams will be on the standby because of this info.
