Q: Let $f\in L[a,b]$ assume for any sub interval $I \in [a,b]$ we have $\int_If\ge \lvert I\rvert$ ,show that $f\ge1$ $a.e$ on $[a,b]$ The problem is as title
I know there is a same problem on here, but I have some problems of the answers below.
I also started with contradiction, to assume there exist measure of $m\{x\in[a,b]:f(x)<1\}>0$
Anyone has better idea on this?

A: I am assuming that $|I| = mI$, the length of the interval.
Note the result that if $\int_{I} \phi \ge 0$ for all intervals, then $\phi(x) \ge 0 $ ae. $x$.
Now note that $\int_I 1 = |I|$ so we can write the above as $\int_I f \ge \int_I 1$ or, equivalently, $\int_I (f-1) \ge 0$.
Let $\phi(x) = f(x) -1$. Then we have $\int_I \phi \ge 0$ for all intervals
$I$, and hence $\phi(x) \ge 0 $ for ae. $x$. Hence $f(x) \ge 1$ for ae. $x$.
Note:
To see the above, let $g(t) = \int_{[a,t]} \phi$, then $g$ is non decreasing since
$g(t+h) = g(t) + \int_{[t,t+h]} \phi$. Since $g'(x) = \phi(x)$ for ae. $x$,
we have the desired result.

Chicago might owe Jeremy Colliton an apology.
Many of us wondered if Colliton was up to the challenge of replacing a legend in Joel Quenneville.
We questioned whether Colliton had any idea that coaching at the United Center was worlds apart from working in Rockford.
We doubted Colliton ever would be more than the answer to a trivia question. We made assumptions about Colliton's youth and inexperience, about his lack of presence or panache.
Sorry, but 41 games into the 34-year-old coach's tenure — the equivalent of half a season — Colliton deserves credit for restoring hope in a Blackhawks franchise where it had gone missing. Now, nobody needs to get carried away by calling Colliton "Hockey McVay" or comparing his impact on the Hawks to fellow 30-something Matt Nagy's effect on the Bears. Nagy was the NFL coach of the year; Colliton is merely the man of the moment — but the right man, which isn't insignificant.
The Hawks' surprising seven-game winning streak offers an opportunity to compliment Colliton for staying true to himself when nobody in town knew who he was. Fans welcomed Colliton with chants of "Q!" during his first pregame introduction. Nothing in Colliton's nondescript 57-game NHL playing career could have prepared him for the kind of pressure he inherited.
Imagine the looks on the faces of defensemen Duncan Keith and Brent Seabrook, who have combined to play in more than 2,000 NHL games, when Colliton announced changes from Quenneville's zone defense to a more demanding man-to-man scheme.
Consider the awkward transition for every forward trying to adopt a more defensive mindset or every defenseman encouraged to advance the puck aggressively rather than look for the stretch pass.
Appreciate how tricky it is to balance the practice schedule of a team full of young players who need ice time and proven future Hall of Famers who crave rest.
Remember how volatile Quenneville could become behind the glass? Coach Q was succeeded by a quieter coach, a teacher more than a screamer, whose understated approach fits Colliton as well as Quenneville's larger-than-life persona fit him.
This all could have gone terribly wrong for the Hawks. It didn't.
The adjustment was awkward. On Jan. 17, the Hawks were tied with the Senators for the NHL's lowest point total. Less than a month later, they woke up Monday four points out of the Western Conference's final playoff spot with 26 games left.
Colliton tinkered with the power play by adding offensive-minded defenseman Erik Gustafsson to the first unit, and the changes have resulted in a nearly 40 percent success rate over the last 20 games. He stabilized the lineup by pairing Hart Trophy candidate Patrick Kane with captain Jonathan Toews on the top line. Former Erie Otters teammates Alex DeBrincat and Dylan Strome — the 21-year-old equivalent of an NHL lottery pick acquired from the Coyotes in a smart trade for Nick Schmaltz — have supplied similar chemistry on the second line.
Off the ice, insiders say the stoic Colliton never panicked. Cubs manager Joe Maddon's horn-rimmed glasses make him appear hip. Colliton's make him look late for a tax audit. But being predictable and professional never goes out of style for a coach trying to establish credibility with players whose hockey resumes are more impressive than his.
Even after the Hawks beat the Red Wings on Sunday for their seventh straight victory, watching Colliton handle the postgame news conference made it hard to tell whether he was in the midst of a winning or losing streak.
The Hawks are 17-18-6 under Colliton, but given the staleness of the last two seasons, their latest surge makes it feel like more fun than the numbers suggest. They have provided a fan base perhaps spoiled by three Stanley Cups since 2010 a reason to believe again. They put Corey Crawford through his first full practice Monday since a December concussion, raising expectations of a possible return of a goalie good enough to steal a playoff spot or even a series.
They have put themselves in position to be the playoff team Hawks officials swore they were the day they fired Quenneville, showing enough improvement for general manager Stan Bowman to embrace the status quo as the Feb. 25 trade deadline approaches. They have played well enough to understand what Bowman saw in Colliton during that scouting trip to Sweden.
The Hawks don't have to qualify for the postseason to validate Colliton as Quenneville's replacement. We can debate the timing of the move but we no longer can quibble over the credentials of his successor.
Over the next two months, the Hawks will continue this exciting playoff hunt. But regardless of what happens, they can head into the offseason knowing they nabbed the right coach.

Many Alaska florists cherish their state flower, the forget-me-not. This bloom is often used in many types of bouquets and arrangements. Florists are fond of it for its delicate color and strong symbolism.
Alaska is the largest of the states in the entire United States. It is best known for its wide expanses of unspoiled land and beauty. It is one of the least densely populated areas of the United States.
This enormous state is in the far north west area of North America. It was purchased in 1867 from the Russian Empire and became a state. The capital city is Juneau, though more than half live in Anchorage.
The capital Juneau sits at sea level below steep mountain ranges. The Juneau Icefield, a large mass of ice, sits atop these mounts. There are over 30 known glaciers in this moving ice mass by Juneau.
The climate is subarctic, with a frost free growing season for plants. This makes it possible to grow many flowers during the warm season. Some floral distributors however, may prefer to grow blooms indoors.
Anchorage is home to many businesses, including florists and shops. Despite the cold weather, the floral business is widely popular. As with warmer areas, arrangements are used for gifts and sympathies.
A florist may also choose to import some of the more exotic flowers. This is often the case for tropical plants that do not grow in cold. Care must be taken when transporting them to avoid temperature shock.
The Forget-me-not is an iconic bloom that has many uses in bouquets. Myosotis alpestris, as it is also known, is a delicate blue flower. Some species also produce other colors of blooms, such as bright pink.
These typically grow in the wild in rocky mountain areas in Alaska. They may also be grown in gardens or florist gardens for harvesting. Florists may prefer to grow more than just the native state flower.
The cultivated white and pink species provide more color for bouquets. This provides them with more options when creating spring bouquets. Alaska florists may combine them with tulips or other spring blooms.

St. Louis Cardinals: Could Dexter Fowler be on the move soon?
by Matt Graves 1 year ago Follow @Matty_ice99
The St. Louis Cardinals traded two outfielders yesterday and in that, a report came out that they were also discussing trades of another player: Dexter Fowler.
Thursday afternoon was a flurry of excitement for St. Louis Cardinals fans. After the news was heating up about the team's talks with the Rockies about Nolan Arenado, the Cardinals pulled off a surprise trade for the highly-touted pitching prospect, Matthew Liberatore.
The trade was such a tease because, unlike many trades, it took about an hour for any news about the other five pieces involved to come out. In the end, Jose Martinez and Randy Arozarena were packing their bags for Tampa Bay and Liberatore and a low-level catcher were coming back while draft picks changed hands.
It was a win-win trade on both sides and the biggest outcome was that the clog of outfielders the Cardinals had was greatly diminished by removing two (lovable) players off the top of the pile. But are these the only two outfielders that are going to be traded?
Even with Martinez and Arozarena being moved, the Cardinals still have six major league outfielders who all need playing time. Hidden in the report of the Liberatore trade that ESPN writer, Jeff Passan, wrote was a note that was intriguing.
The Cardinals also have discussed trading outfielder Dexter Fowler and still could move him in another deal, sources said, as top prospect Dylan Carlson is expected to play a significant role in St. Louis' outfield.
This is not me just making up stuff for fun, this is directly out of this article written by Passan last night. I always hate writing anything that could be deemed clickbait, but in this case, it really is interesting that the Cardinals have explored this move.
Fowler will turn 34 during the 2020 season and has two years and $33M left on his contract which is much more than what he's worth. Add onto it that Fowler has a no-trade clause, and it makes a Fowler trade seem pretty difficult to pull off.

Some have speculated that Fowler could be a great name to include in a trade for Nolan Arenado given that he played there for his first six seasons in the league. Honestly, I would be fine with that but adding his bad contract to a deal would make the prospect price higher in that deal.
That may be where Liberatore comes in, but we will need to wait and see before saying anything specific.
As Passan notes, Dylan Carlson is just about ready to hit the Majors and with Tyler O'Neill and Lane Thomas fighting for left field, Harrison Bader and Fowler in center and right field may stand in the way of any playing time for Carlson.
I wouldn't think that the Liberatore trade would keep the Cardinals from wanting to still trade Fowler, but it may help them pull the trade off.
I would guess that the Cardinals' plan for the rest of the offseason will materialize more in the next few days, but for now, they are likely still shopping Fowler. Fowler's value isn't extremely high by any means but after his uptick back to an above-average player in 2019, he is much more valuable than he was after 2018 and it would be smart for the team to try and dump the contract now.
Next: Play the best, not the best-paid
Want your voice heard? Join the Redbird Rants team!
If the Cardinals do end up moving on from Fowler (even in a non-Arenado trade), it will be best for the young kids to get in the lineup. Even if a trade doesn't happen, the glut being gone will always be a good thing for the longterm health of the organization.

Kohima (Nagaland): With an objective to improve infrastructure for football and nurture players with good facilities, Nagaland Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio inaugurated the state's first Astroturf football ground at the Indira Gandhi Stadium.
The project is conceived with a view to providing a standard football field that could host national and international matches, besides nurturing and training budding players.
The day coincided with the 101st birth anniversary of legendary footballer Dr T Ao, who was the first captain of independent India's Olympic football team at the London Olympics in 1948.
The foundation stone at the stadium was laid by the then Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi on October 6 in 1987, and inaugurated by former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee on October 28 in 2003.
The center has been working on a quality strategic sports infrastructure development plan for every district by engaging and partnering with proven sports consultants. To give a better opportunity to young budding footballers, the Chief Minister said that the center is partnering with the Bhaichung Bhutia Football School (BBFS).
"I believe this is a great blessing for all the Nagas, especially the young players. This is a dream come true. We have been watching all the footballers, stars on television. One day we will be watching our players becoming a star," said Kenneth Kikon footballer.
The size of the playground is 105 x 66 meter, which is the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) approved size. The Astroturf is one of the many achievements of the People's Democratic Alliance (PDA) government in its 11-month rule.
An exhibition match was played between Chief Minister's XI and Chief Secretary's XI to mark the commencement of the 20th Inter-District Football Championship 2019 Dr T Ao Trophy.
"I am sure that the government takes good care of it, this will provide a huge platform for the youngsters to excel in this profession and I hope this will bring a change to the upcoming footballers," footballer Mashun said.
With the Astroturf stadium, installed at a cost of Rs 4.11 crore, Nagaland hopes to further produce good quality players and help India become a dominant force in the field of football.

Protest against Trump hosting 'SNL' grows
The coalition is accusing NBC of reversing itself for the sake of a ratings windfall
Protest against Trump hosting 'SNL' grows The coalition is accusing NBC of reversing itself for the sake of a ratings windfall Check out this story on app.com: http://on.app.com/1Nt9b5U
AP Published 8:01 p.m. ET Nov. 4, 2015

NEW YORK - Pressure continued to mount on NBC to cancel Donald Trump's guest-host appearance on this weekend's "Saturday Night Live" as a coalition of advocacy groups delivered petitions to the network Wednesday calling for him to be dropped from the show.
The petitions delivered to 30 Rockefeller Plaza, home of NBC and "Saturday Night Live," marked the latest attempts to dissuade the network from allowing the Republican presidential hopeful to host the show, with the National Hispanic Leadership Agenda earlier asking that NBC reconsider the decision.
"There's mounting evidence that Donald Trump's racist demagoguery is resulting in real-world violence and physical and verbal intimidation," Mushed Zaheed, deputy political director of Credo Action, one of the participating groups, said in a statement.
Trump drew fire early in his campaign when, as the billionaire developer announced his candidacy, he described some Mexicans who are in the United States illegally as criminals and rapists, prompting NBC to sever its Miss Universe ties with Trump while declaring he would never again appear on "The Celebrity Apprentice."
"It is shameful for 'SNL' and NBC to think that racism can be repackaged as comedy," said Juan Escalante, digital campaigns manager for America's Voice, another group participating in the coalition.
Other participating groups included the National Hispanic Media Coalition, MoveOn.org and National Council of La Raza. About two-dozen protesters were on hand as the petitions were delivered to NBC's midtown Manhattan offices. Some chanted "dump Trump" and carried signs bearing the same phrase.
The coalition is accusing NBC of reversing itself for the sake of a ratings windfall while granting Trump "a free national platform to bolster his racist and xenophobic campaign," Zaheed said.
Alex Nogales, president of the National Hispanic Media Coalition, said after delivering the petitions that the protest effort was not over. His group and others would use the days leading up to the broadcast to call on "SNL" sponsors to remove their commercials from Saturday's show, he said.
NBC declined comment on the petitions and did not immediately comment on the attempt to get ads pulled.
Meanwhile, Trump drew sharp criticism in an online letter with the names of dozens of prominent writers, filmmakers, academics and others from the United States, Spain and Latin America attached to it, including Oscar-winning writer-director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu ("Birdman: Or The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance").
"We refuse to keep silent in the face of the alarming declarations of the candidate for the presidency of the United States Donald Trump," the letter posted Tuesday reads. "His hate speech appeals to the lowest passions like xenophobia, machismo, political intolerance and religious dogmatism."
The letter calls on the American people to "cease to tolerate his absurd positions."
Trump has played a major role in delivering record-breaking ratings to the first three Republican debates and has been a sought-after guest on talk shows and newscasts.
Asked about the opposition to his upcoming appearance while promoting his new book in New York on Tuesday, Trump said he was pleased to hear demonstrations were already underway.
"Look, I think they should demonstrate" he said. "Ratings will go even higher than they are going to be. It's going to be one of their highest-rated shows ever and they're very excited about it."
Asked specifically about the petition, he said: "It's only going to make it hotter."
Trump also repeated his frequent assertion that he has great relationship with Hispanics, with tens of thousands working for him over the years, he said.
Saturday's appearance will be an "SNL" encore for Trump, who first hosted the show in April 2004, long before his entry into politics, as the breakout star of NBC's new competition show "The Apprentice."
He appeared on CNN's "New Day" on Wednesday, where anchor Chris Cuomo voiced surprise that NBC booked him.
"I thought you were at war with them," said Cuomo, "then all of a sudden they wanted to have you on. You say it's because of ratings."
"You're never at war when you get great ratings with a network, OK?" Trump replied. "Nobody gets ratings like me."
He went on to say that initially he was asked to do a single sketch on Saturday's show. Then "SNL" executive producer Lorne Michaels had second thoughts and asked Trump if he would host the entire 90-minute program. "And I said, 'You know what? I would.' Because it's an honor."
"Every single major politician in this country probably for 30 years has done 'Saturday Night Live' if they're invited," Trump added. "If they're invited."
NBC would not comment on whether any other presidential candidates are being considered to host "SNL."
On Wednesday, NBC released promotional spots for the show featuring Trump. In one, he refers to a Republican opponent, Ben Carson, as "a complete and total loser."

Different sport, still applicable IMO. In 1993-1994 the men's basketball team was 7-20. People moaned that our talent level was horrendous and only some major recruiting would help. Our one big recruit, Kurt Thomas was a bust. And we hired Billy Tubbs. In 1994-1995 the Frogs were 16-11! And were more entertaining, scoring a ton. Kurt Thomas led the nation in rebounding and scoring.
The only thing that changed was the coaching staff. The team went from an untalented mess to a talented, entertaining and competitive team.
I am hoping that this change in football will be similar.

At the moment the demon Mara attacked the Buddha and nearly derailed his path to enlightenment at Bodh Gaya, the Buddha lamented that he could turn to no one for refuge. Not a soul in the present world could vouch for the selfless actions he had performed in his previous lives and thereby reward him by defeating Mara. Suddenly, however, an earth goddess sprang from the ground and declared that she had witnessed his boundless charity during his last life as Prince Vessantara. The earth then "resounded with . . . a hundred thousand echoes [earthquakes?]" and Mara and his troops were thrown into disarray, as a Pali text from nearly two thousand years ago informs us (Jayawickrama 1990, 98).
The Buddha's former lives were encapsulated in "birth stories," known as jatakas (Pali and Sanskrit). The tales number in the hundreds, with the jataka centered on the life of Prince Vessantara ending the series. Underpinning the jatakas is the notion of karma—that is, virtuous actions are always rewarded while negative actions never escape horrible consequences. Without the final past life of the Buddha to inspire the earth goddess, Mara would have been left to triumph and Buddhism would never have been born. Buddhism therefore owes an incalculable debt to the jatakas.
A simple definition of a jataka is elusive, but it is essentially a story told by the Buddha about one or another of his previous lives, before he became a fully enlightened one, or Buddha. In these former lives, he is referred to as a bodhisatta (Pali), usually rendered as "Buddha-to-be." His births assumed diverse forms: in some tales, he appears as a king, a hermit, or a village potter, while in others he is an animal, such as an elephant, a horse, or a rabbit. The Buddha's telling of the story is prompted by an incident taking place in the present, and is often associated with his disciples in one of the famous Indian monastic centers, such as Savatthi or Jetavana. This "tale of the present," or paccupanna-vatthu (Pali), sets the stage for the story from a past life, or atita-vatthu (Pali), and in many jatakas is related to it thematically while in others the connection is unclear. For example, the preamble of the Vessantara Jataka speaks of two miracles that the Buddha effected in order to win over his kinsmen; this has no apparent connection to the central theme of this jataka, which is generosity. Also, the stories always conclude by identifying the story's principal protagonists. Thus, the noble prince Vessantara is revealed to be none other than the Buddha in a past life, while the tale's villain, a Brahmin named Jujaka, is Devadatta, the Buddha's wicked cousin, in a previous existence.
The plots of many jatakas are simple and are reminiscent of Aesop, La Fontaine, or India's famous Panchatantra. One tale, for instance, features a self-sacrificing monkey-king who saved his monkey troop from the archers of a local king (Jataka 407). Another centers on a hare who was prepared to leap upon a fire in order to feed a starving beggar; the beggar was in reality the god Sakka, and the rabbit's willingness to sacrifice itself was a test (Jataka 316). Sakka, to ensure that the world would never forget this noble act, "daubed the sign of the hare on the orb of the moon" (Cowell 1897, III:37). One popular tale begins with the wife of a prince ditching her husband for a paraplegic thief whom she carries in a basket on her head! (Jataka 193).
These tales of monkeys, rabbits, and feckless wives clearly shed little light on the rarefied abstractions of Buddhist philosophy. No wonder that these stories have been dismissed as "folk tales" and largely neglected in Buddhist scholarship. However, it is these very stories that have shaped the basic beliefs of the majority of Buddhists, both ancient and modern. Indeed, reflecting on the impact of these Buddhist stories that permeated her childhood in Sri Lanka, Ranjini Obeyesekere concludes, "That was how we learned to be Buddhists" (Obeyesekere 1991, x). In the same way, the homilies surrounding Christ and his disciples and the parables are certainly more influential than the lofty treatises of Thomas Aquinas or Paul Tillich and countless Western theologians.
The second publication, co-authored by Appleton and Sarah Shaw, a member of the Faculty of Oriental Studies at the University of Oxford, is a translation of the last ten jatakas, issued in a handsome two-volume box set. All 547 tales were translated into English long ago by a handful of scholars under the editorship of E. B. Cowell. That edition, brought out between 1895 and 1907, runs into six volumes and is based on the jataka collection associated with Sri Lanka. Its Victorian English, peppered with archaic expressions and interminable sentences, is tough going for modern readers. Happily, this new rendition is fresh and spontaneous, while its style and vocabulary have not been dumbed down. Also, readers can be assured that this new translation is faithful to the original, in view of the translators' comfortable familiarity with Pali. An added bonus is the foreword contributed by Peter Skilling of the French School of Asian Studies (EFEO), Bangkok, which discusses the earliest biographies of the Buddha. He also treats the early artistic depictions of jatakas in India, such as at Bharhut. Among the most famous in early Indian art is an episode from the Vessantara Jataka on the Eastern Gateway at Sanchi.
Prince Vessantara presenting his children to the wicked Jujaka (Jataka 547), East Gateway, Sanchi, India. Circa 1st century BCE–c. 1st century CE, sandstone.
Why these ten tales gained such a prominent position is still an open question. The authors point out that many of the major protagonists belong to royal families, an ever popular theme. Also, women's roles in the last ten jatakas are generally positive, unlike many tales in which women are temptresses if not conniving manipulators. In addition, the racy or ribald elements found in a number of jatakas as well are absent in the last ten, thus making the set more agreeable to wider audiences.
It is difficult to pinpoint the exact moment when the last ten stories were selected as a group for depiction. Perhaps the earliest extant examples are "boundary stone" sculptures and terracotta tiles in 11th century Thaton, the old Mon center in Lower Myanmar. The sequence of these tiles matches the ordering of jatakas found generally among the later art of Pagan and Southeast Asia, thereby suggesting that this sequence, which differs slightly from the Sri Lankan, originated among the Mon. Despite the special veneration for these last ten tales, artists often rejected them in favor of jatakas that were evidently more popular. Notable examples are among the murals of Tivanka Temple, Polonnuruva, Sri Lanka and among some prominent temples at Pagan, such as the Nagayon.
More recent examples are the 19th century murals at the Kelaniya Viharaya near Colombo, where only two among a total of seven jatakas are drawn from the last ten. Such evidence suggests that local taste easily overrode the special position of the last ten tales.
A few of the last ten jatakas are found now and then in the popular art of 20th century Myanmar, but other tales are far more frequent. For example, one very popular jataka represented at pagodas in Myanmar describes the bodhisatta's interpretation of King Kosala's 16 dreams (Jataka 77). One dream centers on a rope-maker whose rope is secretly being eaten by a jackal; this is likened to a shameless and licentious wife who gambles away her husband's hard-earned money. Another popular modern tale in Myanmar is the sorry tale of five young brothers on a road trip who are ensnared by lovely maidens representing forms of sensual pleasure; the maidens soon revert to ogresses and all of the youths perish (Jataka 96). These tales are far more spicy and racy than the last ten, which verge on the sentimental. However, modern religious art in Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia shows a marked preference for the latter.
Each tale in this publication is preceded by an insightful analysis that sets the story within the context of the jatakas and wider Buddhist thought. The value of these introductions to each jataka cannot be overstated. Over 50 color photographs illustrate various episodes from the last ten jatakas. The earliest are a series of tiles from the roof terraces of Ananda Temple at Pagan in Myanmar, circa 1100, while the others are mostly mural paintings in Myanmar and Thailand from the 18th to 20th century. A handy glossary precedes an extensive bibliography, while the index allows the reader to quickly locate the many personal names distributed throughout the ten tales. This two-volume box set is certainly another feather in the cap for Silkworm Books in Chiang Mai. The two publications reviewed here complement one another, and together offer a wealth of information and analysis that will greatly appeal to general readers and specialists alike.

Climate-friendly alternatives to Nigeria's single-use plastics

The sight of discarded plastic bottles and packs floating in the open drains, causing floods and other environmental hazards are the consequences of Nigeria choosing convenience at the expense of the environment.
Plastics are a major culprit in Nigeria's flooding crisis and the emission of greenhouse gases from plastic materials contributes majorly to climate change.
According to a report issued by the Centre for International Law, by 2050, plastics could emit 56 billion tons of Greenhouse gas emissions, as much as 14 percent of the earth's remaining carbon budget.
When plastics are dumped on the soil, they decompose incredibly slowly and release toxic chemicals, such as the preservatives used in their production, into the soil.
Nigeria is ranked the 9th highest country producing unmanaged plastic in the world generating 32 million tonnes of waste per year and only 2.7 million tonnes is plastic waste most of which (70percent) ends up in landfills, sewers, beaches, and water bodies.
The United Nations has projected the Nigerian population to hit 400 million by 2050, double its number today. The population explosion will only aggravate the plastic crisis.
However, more climate-friendly alternatives can conveniently replace plastics that Nigeria can adopt.
Considering alternatives
Climate-friendly alternatives are products or items that are not environmentally harmful. This means they emit lesser toxic substances and they decompose fast.
These alternatives will not just limit the growing tide of plastics, they will also offset carbon emissions and return nutrients to the earth.
In research by Margaret Aligbe titled 'Investigating the use of plastic bags in Lagos, Nigeria,' the reasons behind citizens' reliance on plastic were explored through interviews.
Several participants in the interview stated how it is not reasonable for them to give up using plastic bags in the absence of alternatives with the same qualities of durability, affordability and versatility that plastic bag offers.

Here are some alternatives to plastics
Paper is a more sustainable, reusable and recyclable option that can replace plastic. However, paper is very resource-heavy to produce: Manufacturing a paper bag takes about four times as much energy as it takes to produce a plastic bag.
Another drawback is that it is less durable as they are more likely to split or tear, especially if they get wet but it decomposes much more quickly than plastic, and therefore it is less likely to be a source of litter and pose a risk to wildlife.

Food packaging materials can be made from Bamboo. Bamboos are a diverse group of evergreen perennial flowering plants. In their natural form, they are eco-friendly and it goes back to nature through the process of decomposition quickly. Bamboo also grows rapidly, it's an abundant renewable resource, making it an ideal, eco-friendly alternative to plastic. Bamboo can be manufactured into disposable plates, cups, cutleries, straws, brushes and many other products.

Stainless steel is one of the most environmentally efficient raw materials available because of its durability and ability to be recycled. The primary raw material in stainless steel manufacturing is scrap metal, this means there are no toxic chemicals are being mixed and there is no harm to the environment or people. Compared to plastics which are extremely polluting and manufactured from petroleum sources
When made properly made and under normal usage, stainless steel products are more durable than plastics and can last decades.
Pictures of stainless steel used to produce bottles and straws
Silicone is another eco-friendly alternative compared to plastic. Unlike plastic which is made from the mining of crude oil, silicone is made from silica which is derived from sand. It is also more durable than plastic so it can last longer.
A drawback is although silicone is not biodegradable, it can be recycled. However, it stands up better against heat and cold than plastic and it is more ocean-friendly as it does not break down into micro-plastics.

Liquid wood
This is also referred to as bio-plastic. In appearance and function, liquid wood is just like traditional plastic except that they are biodegradable without harmful environmental effects. This particular biopolymer comes from pulp-based lignin, a byproduct, and a renewable resource that comes from paper mills. Since it's made from wood byproducts, it's also easy to recycle. As such, liquid wood is quickly becoming the go-to alternative for several traditional petroleum-based products.
Liquid wood (bio-plastic) look like the traditional plastic in appearance but they are made from wood byproducts.
There are also other environmentally friendly materials like glass containers, and rice husk, starch based-plants that can replace the harmful plastics
No price too high
These alternatives are more costly than plastics but experts say there is no price too high to save the environment.
"The problem hindering the adoption of eco-friendly alternatives is the huge cost compared to plastic," said Rita Idehai, the CEO of Ecobarter.
"The upfront costs of these alternatives are more expensive and I believe that it is that way because they bear the true cost of the material, " Idehai said.
"The cost of these alternatives has always been the question on everybody's lips. We need to ask ourselves what the cost to the environment is," Lanre Adesida, MD/CEO Bonnie-Bio Nigeria said.
"When we are trying to save the planet, no price is too much for that," Adesida said.
What the government is doing
Mohammed Abubakar, the Minister of Environment, in a recent event said the government is aware of the grave consequences of plastic pollution on the environment.
Abubakar said the measures being taken to reduce plastic pollution in Nigeria include the development of national policies on solid/plastic waste management, a national plastic waste recycling program, and a waste-to-wealth entrepreneurship program.
In January 2021, the government announced it will join the World Economic Forum's global plastic action partnership, alongside Indonesia, Ghana, and Vietnam to advance national efforts to fight plastic pollution.
In 2020, the Federal Executive Council, (FEC) approved a national policy on plastic waste management, this national policy intended to reduce the litter of plastic waste in the environment and limit the harm to humans and animals.
Incremental ban on plastic
Nigeria has been unable to implement a plastic ban three years after the Federal House of Representatives passed the Plastic Bags (Prohibition) Bill.
Adesida explained that Nigeria needs a solid roadmap, not a sudden ban.
"It shouldn't be a big bang aggressive approach; my suggestion is that it should be an incremental ban. The incremental ban means Nigeria could start with a partial ban of certain products, let's say straws for the first segment, then we look at another issue, and then another,"
He noted that Nigeria needs to create a ten-year plan just like the United Kingdom.
"The United Kingdom five years ago decided to engage supermarkets and mandated them to stop giving out free bags to those who shop at the supermarkets. The outcome after five years was a 90 percent reduction in bags being sold at supermarkets. Five years after that, they opened it up to a wider audience, so all the corner shops have also been mandated to stop using plastic bags," Adesida said.

What is Social Studies and why we study them?
"...the integrated study of the social sciences and humanities to promote civic competence. Within the school program, social studies provides coordinated, systematic study drawing upon such disciplines as anthropology, archaeology, economics, geography, history, law, philosophy, political science, psychology, religion, and sociology, as well as appropriate content from the humanities, mathematics, and natural sciences. The primary purpose of social studies is to help young people make informed and reasoned decisions for the public good as citizens of a culturally diverse, democratic society in an interdependent world." (The definition was officially adopted by National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS) in 1992).
*Advanced Placement is a college level course, taken by high school students who will take a nationally administered norm-referenced exam, at the end of the course. The College Board with strict curricular guidelines administers the AP program. Each AP teacher has had their course syllabus approved by the College Board authenticating the rigor and relevance to college level work. Should a student score a three, four or five on the AP exam, colleges may grant credit for that class.
The high school world history course provides students with a comprehensive, intensive study of major events and themes in world history. Students begin with a study of the earliest civilizations worldwide and continue to examine major developments and themes in all regions of the world. The course culminates in a study of change and continuity and globalization at the beginning of the 21st century.
The high school United States history course provides students with a comprehensive, intensive study of major events and themes in United States history. Beginning with early European colonization, the course examines major events and themes throughout United States history. The course concludes with significant developments in the early 21st century.
Economics is the study of how individuals, businesses, and governments make decisions about the allocation of scarce resources. The economics course provides students with a basic foundation in the field of economics. The course has five sections: fundamental concepts, microeconomics, macroeconomics, international economics, and personal finance. In each area, students are introduced to major concepts and themes concerning that aspect of economics. These sections and the standards and elements therein may be taught in any order or sequence.

that anyone could have a miniature Bernina? Don't believe me? Go have a look here; you'll have to scroll down a bit. Just had to share this little tidbit. I discovered it while researching the value of older series Berninas.
I've recently been playing around with fabric paints and dyes just to keep the creative urge satisfied. I decided to do some stamping on old handkerchiefs. Here are close ups of some of the results.
and this one with the end of a thread spool and electric plug. Click on the pictures for a closer look.
Some dye that had been sitting in the spare fridge in the basement came along with me to a dyeing session with one of my art groups. Here are the results of that playing.
The yellows went from very vibrant to a very pale.
The one on the left was wrapped around a small pvc pipe and "scrunched". That scrunching acted as a resist. I'll overdye that one I think.
This one was my favorite; all that mottling. It was created by loosely wrapping the fabric with elastic bands. The wind was blowing that day so it was hard to get pictures.There were some very interesting results. I'll have to give this a try again.
Till the next time, thanks for visiting.


iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 plus are latest version of iPhone available but unfortunately these devices are also facing many major issue. One such issue reported by many users us when iPhone 8 screen becomes unresponsive out of nowhere. When trying to tap an app icon on the home screen the phone was unresponsive. The screen of iPhone 8 became unresponsive. Force touch also does not work. No response to any swipes or presses or taps on the home screen. This is causing major issue as in iPhone 8 won't be able to do a normal "slide to power off" Shut Down with the power key.
It is happening very frequently for some users like 4 times in 24 hours since purchase. The problem is sometimes easily seen while using 3d touch functionality in the home screen. Or when you try to send a photo — screen freezes and won't accept command to message (or mail) photo. This happens 30-40% of the time. Below mentioned trouble shooting does not seems to help much.
Since Apple has no solution, you don't have any solution, at this point anyway.

World Largest Cryptocurrency Mining Farm Reports Billion Income
On Sep 25, 2018 0
According to Fortune, Bitmain, the leading company of cryptocurrency mining, has cited an audit conducted by the firm KPMG in which it reported net profits of $ 1,100 million in the first quarter of 2018 which would be at least 35% of the benefits achieved in 2017. According to the estimated analysis reported on CNBC, the company generated between $3,000 to $4,000 million in profits in 2017, matching the benefits generated by Nvidia.
Bitmain, the leading company of cryptocurrency mining.
Bitmain Technologies Ltd. (Bitmain) is a company headquartered in Beijing, China with offices in the US, Israel, Netherlands and Switzerland. The main activities of the company are:
Developer of specialized chips for cryptocurrency mining. Their 16 nanometers (nm) chips are one of the most efficient on the market when it comes to electrical consumption and hashrate.
Manufacturer of cryptocurrency mining equipment called ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit) for wholesale and retail. Their ASICs known as Antminer, depending on the model, can mine the algorithms of the most popular and profitable cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC) and Zcash (ZEC), among others.
Developer of own cryptocurrency mining farms which has one of the largest farms in the world, located in China.
Host of the cryptocurrency mining pools called AntPool y BTC.com. These pools report 30.1% of the global Bitcoin hashrate in addition to other cryptocurrencies. Mining pools generally charge a fee of 1% of the revenue generated in cryptocurrencies.

The bet of Bitmain's CEO
At only 32 years old, Jihan Wu is one of the richest people in the blockchain industry. According to Fortune, Wu revealed that his company plans to carry out an Initial Public Offering (IPO) on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The IPO would grant some of the first investors in the company, including Sequoia Capital and IDG Capital, a chance to make a profit on their initial investment.
The decision of the company, valued at approximately $14,000 million today, attracted the attention of investors around the world. The valuation of the company exceeds almost 5 times its 2017 profits, although their benefits could reach $4,000 million in 2018, according to the latest financial results of Bitmain before it went public.

The growing industry of cryptocurrency mining
Cryptocurrency mining is on the rise. New technologies and the emergence of new players has made the industry increasingly attractive to investors who want to get involved in the sector. Recently, Bitmain developed an "extremely efficient" ASIC for Zcash that greatly outperforms GPU miners (RIGs). There are also other projects such as Swiss Alps Mining that has been financed through an ICO to develop a new efficient cryptocurrency mining model.

The Bitcoin price has dropped but the Industry continues to grow
The drop price of bitcoin since January 2018 seems to not have affected the world's largest mining company, which will soon have its IPO to formally invest in the industry. It should be noted that according to the Ethereum Co-founder, Vitalik Buterin, said industry will not grow by the amount of invention that it has, but by its level of implementation.
I think there's too much emphasis on BTC/ETH/whatever ETFs, and not enough emphasis on making it easier for people to buy $5 to $100 in cryptocurrency via cards at corner stores. The former is better for pumping price, but the latter is much better for actual adoption.
