Mental illness and addictions affect about 6 million people across the country yearly.
Bell Let's Talk Day, the telecommunications company's annual mental health fundraising and awareness campaign, came and went this week.
But beyond a hashtag, what does mental illness look like in Kenora and Ontario, and what services are available to people seeking help?
Mental illness and addictions affect about 6 million people across the country yearly — more than cancer and infectious diseases — but mental health services aren't funded anywhere near the same level as physical health services, says the executive director of the Canadian Mental Health Association's Kenora branch, Sara Dias.
"It's similar in Ontario — the mental health and addictions system is chronically underfunded," Dias said.
Meanwhile, new data from an annual survey conducted by the Centre for Addictions and Mental Health showsone in 10 Ontario adults say they are struggling with their mental health. 11.7 per cent of respondents reported experiencing frequent mental distress in 2017. That's up from 7.4 per cent the year before.
Statistics from the Kenora CMHA's 2017/2018 annual report paints a picture of what mental illness looks like in the region.
Last year, three frontline mental health therapists saw a total of 387 people over the course of 3,192 visits.
One forensic case manager provided intensive, short-term services to 63 people over 1,127 visits.
The District Assertive Community Treatment team — a multidisciplinary group of regulated professionals and mental health workers that provides treatment, rehab and support services — helped 89 people in the Kenora Rainy River district, over the course of 8,272 visits.
The regional mental health court served 86 people at Kenora District Court, and two people employed by the mental health diversion and court support program aimed to help 180 people involved in the criminal justice system avoid more encounters with the law.
A new facility meant to temporarily house and support people with crisis-level mental health or addictions issues is slated to open this spring. It will be able to house five people at any given time.
That new facility will help close a gap in crisis services.
"There's a lack of services for people within the community to try to deescalate that – therefore, police are usually called, and individuals are taken to (the emergency room) – which is unfortunate — what a mental health service would like to do is deescalate that situation, in the community," Dias concluded.


Internet out for over 12 hrs. Have you ever set up Mikrotik with 3G modem?
I'd convinced my dad to replace an ageing (and occasionally faulty) router with a Mikrotik device a while back. He had purchased a hAP, and configured it based on my Mikrotik home router article. I'd reviewed what he did and tweaked a few things. And it's been running quite smoothly since then. But even the best router can't do much when there's no Internet to route!
He runs a business from home, and extended Internet downtime is bad. So I referred him to the article I wrote about using an Android device for 4G / LTE Internet access.
Except he was using a 3G USB Modem rather than an Android phone, so it didn't quite work as nicely as I'd hoped.
Document and configure my dad's router to allow him to use a 3G / LTE USB modem as a backup Internet connection if his Optus cable connection fails. (And maybe help a few other people on the Internet as well)!
Unlike my holiday LTE setup, failover will be important: automatic will be preferred, but outages aren't very frequent, so simple manual steps will be allowed.
If your modem doesn't work, it will be a pain to troubleshoot on your router. So double check it connects successfully in a more supported environment (eg: Windows laptop).
My dad is using a Huawei E1762 USB 3G modem. Which has minimal documentation on the Internet.
Depending on your router you may need a USB adapter cable. My dad's hAP has a full size USB port, so he just plugged it in.
Check in System -> Resources -> USB for the modem you just connected. If there's nothing there, it may not be supported and you'll need to find an alternative.
My dad's modem is a 3G device, so he created a new PPP Client in Interfaces -> New -> PPP Client. You may need to set an APN, username or password (check with your service provider for this information); dad's using an Optus service so his APN is yesinternet. The Status should change to waiting for packets…, then link established and finally connected.
If you have a newer and faster LTE / 4G modem, an LTE interface should automatically be created. However, you may still need to set an APN, username or password.
You should also set the default route distance to 2. This will force the router to prefer your primary link over the 3G / LTE one.
At this point we should have a working cellular interface. You can test it by disabling your main Internet interface (eg: Cable / ADSL / Ethernet / whatever) temporarily (remember to turn safe mode on before you accidentally delete it!!). Your Internet should still work and you should see activity on the PPP / LTE interface.
You can use Tools -> Ping to test connectivity from the router itself (eg: to 8.8.8.8).
You should see two default routes. Your router will prefer the primary connection (ie: cable, ADSL, etc) to the cellular one because it has a smaller distance.
However, both the primary and cellular interfaces will always be "up", as far as routing is concerned (because the ethernet cable is plugged in). That is, even when your primary interface service does down, the router will keep trying to send traffic over your cable / ADSL / fibre link (even when the packets can't go anywhere).
To switch over to the cellular backup interface, you should disable your primary interface. (And remember to re-enable it when it's working again, of course).
This is a slightly manual process. However, if your primary interface is very reliable and you don't really mind a few minutes down time while someone notices the Internet has dropped, logs into your router and clicks disable, then it is perfectly functional. (My dad prefers this approach, because cellular data is an order of magnitude more expensive in Australia, and he wants to know when he's switched over to 3G).
But we can automate the switch from primary to backup interface (and back again) using a few simple routing rules. Be warned: this assumes a particular IP address as the default gateway; it is not picking it up automatically from DHCP.
We need to set the Check Gateway option to ping, so the router can detect when a link has gone down. Unfortunately, the default route created from DHCP does not let us do that - all fields are read only.
So, make a copy the default route. Set Check Gateway to ping. And then disable this route.
Next, hop over to IP -> DHCP Client and set Add Default Route to no. Your primary interface's dynamic default route will disappear.
Back to the route table and enable the manual default route. Now should now have 2 routes to the Internet: primary via cable / ADSL / whatever, and secondary via 3G / LTE.
My dad simulated an Internet failure by turning off his cable modem (but not removing the ethernet cable). The router sees the ethernet port as still connected, but it can't actually reach the Internet. It takes about 30 seconds for the router to notice and switch to routing over the backup 3G interface. After plugging the cable back in, it took another 30 seconds to switch back to the primary cable interface (mostly the cable modem sorting itself out).
Important: All this assumes your Internet gateway does not change. That is, we just hard coded a default gateway into your router. In other words, if your gateway ever changes your Internet will break and you'll probably forget to check the route table. You should only do this if you have a static IP address, and even then be very wary.
We've followed the simple failover configuration, but if you have more complex requirements or more than 2 WAN links, you may want to consider a more advanced failover configuration. And a forum post with further failover information.
You can now have your Mikrotik router configured with a backup WAN interface using a 3G or LTE USB modem. And some very simple routing rules to switch to the backup link if the primary fails. (Or, you can just disable the primary interface).

Thinking outside the Big Blue box: audit competition
Thinking outside the Big Blue box
Scott Barnes responds to UK Competition Commission proposals
I was interviewed recently by the Daily Telegraph and among the many topics discussed was the UK Competition Commission proposals to shake up the audit industry. The Commission has shied away from mandatory rotation but FTSE350 companies could be obliged to put their audit contract out to tender at least once every five years.
This is a step in the right direction, but there's still a long way to go.
Currently just four firms audit all but one of the FTSE100 companies. This is largely a legacy of institutional prejudice against mid-tier firms such as Grant Thornton. The suggestion being that because we do not currently audit the very largest firms in the FTSE, we are not able to audit any substantial listed business. This is a complete non-sequitur and is also quite clearly wrong.
We audit around 300 listed companies every year. We are the auditors for a large chunk of the AIM market, and a number of businesses in the FTSE350. In addition we deliver tax and advisory work for 40 of the FTSE100. We are also the leading auditor to the UK public sector, where organisations certainly match FTSE 100 entities in terms of scale and complexity.
The issue comes back to the old adage that no one ever got fired for hiring Big Blue (IBM). Some existing audit relationships go back 60 years and the pace of change is glacial. Whilst consistency is a strong argument, so too is transparency and putting audits out for tender is simply good governance.
The response from the vested interests is obvious: 'Well, Grant Thornton would say that wouldn't they?" But we are not trying to gain a 25% market share. We don't want to be the smallest of a Big 5. We simply recognise that conflicts arise in the FTSE100 audit market due to the small number of players.
There is no silver bullet. A range of additional measures – from tighter restrictions on providing non-audit services, to subsidiaries looking for alternatives to their group auditor – would augment current proposals. But the best thing would be a change of attitudes.
News that Standard Chartered and HSBC have put their audits out to tender is positive. Let's hope a few more of their FTSE100 peers follow.

Samini and Sarkodie were paid GHC 500k to endorse Akufo-Addo – Sam George
By Kenney Blaze November 3, 2020
Samini and Sarkodie were paid GHC 500k to endorse Akufo-Addo – Sam George. Member of Parliament(MP) for Ningo-Prampram Sam Nartey George has alleged that some celebrities who have started endorsing the New Patriotic Party (NPP) were paid to do so.
According to him, they were paid GHS 500,000 each and therefore people should not be swayed by their endorsement of the NPP.
He indicated that although there is love for their music and craft, their political choices cannot be trusted because they are induced with money.
Sam George said "Don't be swayed by any funny endorsements people. We may love their music and groove to it but we don't trust their political choices especially when they are worth GH500,000".
Sarkodie and Samini are the latest to endorse the President's second term bid with their music.
To Sarkodie, if he continues to enjoy stable power and also his family enjoys free SHS, then Nana Akufo-Addo needs four more to do more.
Samini has also released "kpoyaka" to praise Akufo-Addo's achievement across all sectors of the economy.

Q: Rewriting class for generic usage - C# MonoTouch I'm working on an iOS application using Xamarin.iOS / MonoTouch and I've run across a bit of a dilemma. We're downloading quite a bit of data with our application by querying JSON-files which are then processed into models that are saved into our local sqlite-database. The problem is that the class I've written is made for specific types, and I want to be able to use the same class for fetching all JSON data into local objects.
Here is my code:

        // Constructor:
        public JSONHandler(string requestURL){

            // Set request URL:

            this.JSONWebRequest.ContentType = "application/json";
        }

        // Get request response:
        private void GetRequestResponse(){
            try {

                // Catch the response:
                this.JSONWebResponse = (HttpWebResponse) this.JSONWebRequest.GetResponse ();

                // Check the status code:
                if (this.JSONWebResponse.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.OK){

                    // Get content:
                    StreamReader reader = new StreamReader (this.JSONWebResponse.GetResponseStream ());
                    this.ResponseContent = reader.ReadToEnd();

                    // Close response:
                    this.JSONWebResponse.Close();

                    // Check response length:

                        this.JSONObjects = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<Post>>(this.ResponseContent);
                        this.RequestSuccessful = true;
                    } else {
                        this.RequestSuccessful = false;
                    }

                } else {
                    this.RequestSuccessful = false;
                }

            } catch (WebException){
                this.RequestTimedOut = true;
                this.RequestSuccessful = false;
            } catch (TimeoutException){
                this.RequestTimedOut = true;
                this.RequestSuccessful = false;
            }
        }

        // Fetch JSON from server:
        public void FetchJSON(){
            this.CreateWebRequest ();
            this.GetRequestResponse ();
        }

        // Return request status:
        public bool RequestWasSuccessful(){
            return RequestSuccessful;
        }

        // Return timeout status:
        public bool RequestDidTimeOut(){
            return RequestTimedOut;
        }

        // Get object count:
        public int GetJSONCount(){
            return this.JSONObjects.Count;
        }

        // Get list of objects:
        public List<Post> GetJSONObjects (){
            return this.JSONObjects;
        }

    }
}

As you can see, I have to change the type that are stored in the lists from Post to any other object and create a new file, for instance, JSONPost, JSONRunner, JSONLayer etc, and I'd like to handle that with just one class, JSONHandler. Hopefully someone here can help me with this matter. I'm going to have the following classes now:

*

*Post

*Layer

*RelayTeam

*RelayRunner

*RelayRunnerResult

*MarathonRunner

*MarathonRunnerResult

And as you all can understand it won't be good having a duplicated file just for all of these.
I'm really thankful for any help I can get!
Best regards,
Jonathan

A: Use Generics - if the type of the JSONObjects collection is the only thing that varies, you can do this
public class JSONHandler<T> {
  ...
  private List<T> JSONObjects;

When you create a new JSONHandler instance, you can specify the type
var handler = new JSONHandler<Post>();
var handler = new JSONHandler<Layer>();
var handler = new JSONHandler<RelayTeam>();

One of ESA's unique capabilities is our high pressure hydro-blasting system. We are one of the few companies in the country with this equipment and expertise. High pressure hydro-blasting cleans, strips, and removes materials in a highly efficient, emiss on free method.
Hydro blasting works like a a power washer that is contained in a housing the size of a large lawnmower. It blasts the surface with a high pressure spinning water stream. The water is immediately sucked back into the Vac system so the surface is not only clean and free of the original asbestos, lead or other coating, but is completely dry.
The Ultra High Pressure (up to 40,000 PSI) Water Blasting "Spin-Jet" coating removal process uses a self-contained Vac Loader unit that creates its own negative pressure within the housing. The vacuum-assisted housing is where the spinning bar, made up of several nozzles, impacts the coating. All debris is removed with a vacuum hose connected to a vacuum box attached to the Vac Loader. The result is an emission free system that leaves a clean, dry surface.
The only waste generated is the coating and minimal residual water which is filtered and can be disposed of safely. ESA uses this process for coatings containing lead, asbestos and other hazardous and non-hazardous materials.

It seems to represent the North American counterpart of the Himalayan region's mythical monster, the Abominable Snowman, or Yeti.

What is Sasquatch?
Sasquatch is a large hairy humanoid that some believe to live in the northwestern United States and western Canada. The name comes from Salish se'sxac, meaning "wild men." Sasquatch is also known as Bigfoot, and it appears to represent the North American counterpart of the Himalayan region's mythical monster, the Abominable Snowman, or Yeti.
Where is Sasquatch said to live?
Sasquatch is said to live in the northwestern United States and western Canada. Sightings have been claimed in forested areas.
How is Sasquatch usually described?
Sasquatch is normally described as a bipedal primate that is anywhere from 6 to 15 feet (2 to 4.5 metres) tall. It is often said to give off a foul smell and either moves silently or emits a high-pitched cry. Alleged Sasquatch footprints have measured up to 24 inches (about 60 cm) long.
Who was the first person to claim a Sasquatch sighting?
Some people credit the British explorer David Thompson with the first discovery of Sasquatch footprints, in 1811. Since then, several photographers and videographers have claimed to have seen Sasquatch, although none of their purported evidence has been verified.
Is Sasquatch real?
Since the first alleged finding of Sasquatch footprints, in 1811, several people have claimed to have found such footprints or to have seen Sasquatch, and some have provided purported documentary evidence. However, scholars and scientific researchers have pointed out that no investigator has produced a physical body or other verifiable evidence, and they do not recognize Sasquatch's existence.
The British explorer David Thompson is sometimes credited with the first discovery (1811) of a set of Sasquatch footprints, and hundreds of alleged prints have been adduced since then. Visual sightings and even alleged photographs and filmings (notably by Roger Patterson at Bluff Creek, California, in 1967) have also contributed to the legend, though none of the purported evidence has been verified.
Sasquatch is variably described as a primate ranging from 6 to 15 feet (2 to 4.5 metres) tall, standing erect on two feet, often giving off a foul smell, and either moving silently or emitting a high-pitched cry. Footprints have measured up to 24 inches (60 cm) in length and 8 inches (20 cm) in width. A Soviet scientist, Boris Porshnev, suggested that Sasquatch and his Siberian counterpart, the Almas, could be a remnant of Neanderthals, but most scientists do not recognize the creature's existence.

Brian John Dowling (born April 1, 1947) is a former American football quarterback in the National Football League for the New England Patriots and Green Bay Packers. He also was a member of the Charlotte Hornets in the World Football League. He played college football at Yale University.

Early years
Dowling attended St. Ignatius High School, located in Cleveland, Ohio, where he was a multi-sport standout.

As a junior in 1963, he led the team to the City Championship Charity Game, where they lost 16-30 to Benedictine High School, after a broken collarbone and a bruised kidney forced Dowling to go to the hospital at halftime and miss the rest of the game. It would be the only game his teams would lose in his high school football career. As a senior in 1964, he avenged that loss against Benedictine in the same City Championship Charity Game in a 48-6 rout, passing for 4 touchdowns and running for a 71-yard score. His teams finished with a 36-1 record.

In basketball, he led the team to a City title by making 4 free throws in the championship game's last 34 seconds to help turn a 13 point deficit into a 53-50 victory. In tennis, he made the state doubles finals as a sophomore and the regional singles finals as a senior. He also practiced baseball.

In 2001, he was inducted into the Cleveland Sports Hall of Fame.

College career
Although he had multiple NCAA Division I scholarship offers and nearly decided to attend USC, his father convinced him to enroll at Yale University and also paid his full tuition. As a freshman, he led the junior varsity team (Yale Bullpups) to a 6-0 record. He also averaged 24.5 points per game in basketball and competed in tennis.

As a sophomore, he was named the starter at quarterback. He suffered a season-ending knee injury in the first quarter of the second game against Rutgers University. He finished with 12-of-22 completions (54.5%) for 89 yards, 10 carries for 51 yards and 2 passing touchdowns. He was replaced by Pete Doherty.

As a junior, he suffered a broken right wrist in a preseason practice and missed the first 3 games. He was reinserted as the starter in the fourth game against Columbia University. He led the team to an Ivy League championship, which included a 24-20 come-from-behind victory over Harvard University, with a 66-yard touchdown pass in the last 2:16 minutes of the game. He registered 44-of-98 completions (44.9%) for 684 yards, 46 carries for 226 yards, 9 passing touchdowns, 4 rushing touchdowns, one receiving touchdown (a 60-yard reception) and 10 interceptions.

As a senior, he set school single-season passing marks with 92-of-160 completions (57.5%) for 1,554 yards, 82 carries for 313 yards, 19 passing touchdowns, 6 rushing touchdowns, one receiving touchdown (a 30-yard reception) and 10 interceptions. In his final collegiate game, his 1968 Yale team was undefeated, nationally ranked and heavily favored going into The Game against Harvard University at Cambridge. Although likewise unbeaten and untied, the Crimson were unheralded. Harvard, trailing 29–13 with 42 seconds remaining, rallied to tie the game, while Dowling stood helplessly on the sideline. As a result, both schools shared the Ivy League title and inspired the Harvard Crimson the next day to print the headline, "Harvard Beats Yale, 29-29". Dowling ranked ninth in the Heisman Trophy voting, with the fourth-most first-place votes.

He finished his college career with a 16-1-1 record and two Ivy League titles. The 14–17 loss came in the Rutgers game he couldn't finish because of injury as a sophomore.

Professional career
Dowling was selected by the Minnesota Vikings in the 11th round (277th overall) of the 1969 NFL draft. He was tried at 3 different positions (mostly at running back) during training camp. He was waived on September 6. After being cut, he played for the Bridgeport Jets of the Atlantic Coast Football League.

On February 9, 1970, he was signed by the New England Patriots. He spent two seasons on the taxi squad. In 1972, he was the backup behind Jim Plunkett, playing enough to complete 29 of 54 passes (53.7%) for 2 touchdowns and one interception. In 1973, he remained as a reserve player behind Plunkett and didn't record any stat. He was released on August 14, 1974.

On June 28, 1974, he was signed by the New York Stars of the World Football League, becoming one of the first NFL players to join the new league. After the thirteenth game of the season, the team was relocated and renamed as the Charlotte Hornets. He was the third-string quarterback behind Tom Sherman and Gary Danielson. He registered 14-of-38 completions (36.8%) for 140 yards, one touchdown and 5 interceptions.

In 1975, he was the backup behind Sherman, tallying 30-of-55 completions (54.5%) for 383 yards, one touchdown and 6 interceptions. The league ceased operations 12 weeks into the regular season on October 22.

On February 12, 1976, he was signed by the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League. He was released on July 12.

On April 11, 1977, he was signed as a free agent by the Washington Redskins. On September 9, he was released after the team opted to keep only 2 quarterbacks. On November 14, he was signed by the Green Bay Packers to provide depth after starter Lynn Dickey suffered a broken leg. He was cut on July 5, 1978.

On July 10, 1978, he was signed by the Los Angeles Rams, reuniting with George Allen who was also his head coach with the Redskins. He was released on August 22.

Personal life
Dowling  was a member of the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity and the Skull and Bones Society. The character B.D., in the Doonesbury comic strip, was originally based on and named after Dowling, a Yale classmate of cartoonist Garry Trudeau. In 1969, he appeared on The Dating Game television show with former Harvard quarterback Frank Champi.

He was involved with the Ivy Satellite Network, which specialized in closed-circuit telecasts of sport games between smaller colleges. In 1983, he was hired as the director of sports marketing at Boston University. Dowling was an insurance industry consultant and worked with a venture capitalist in the Boston area.

Nottingham Rugby FREE Season Ticket Offer
Nottingham Rugby are delighted to announce the launch of their Free Junior Season Ticket Offer, which gives all children aged 16 and under, the opportunity to watch a whole home season of Championship and British & Irish Cup rugby*, free of charge.
Free entry will be granted to all 14 of the Green and Whites' 2016/17 Greene King IPA Championship regular season and British & Irish Cup group stage fixtures, in what will be Nottingham's 140th anniversary year.
This offer follows on from the club's hugely successful Free NLD Junior Season Ticket Offer, which was launched in April, aimed at all mini and junior rugby players at clubs and schools in the NLD (Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire & Derbyshire) area.
Explaining the club's reasoning behind the continuation and extension of this ground-breaking offer, Nottingham Rugby general manager Steve Smith said:
"There are very few local, professional clubs in any sport, who can offer a whole season's worth of home games for free
"We started initially, just offering the free season ticket to local junior rugby players but it's been so successful, that we started to think why not include all youngsters, not just the ones that actually play the sport.
"We want youngsters to visit The Bay on a regular basis, cheer on the boys and experience exciting and top quality, professional rugby, whilst we are then able to engage and inspire the next generation of the sport at the same time.
"We're very much a community club and it's important we understand that these youngsters could be vital to help sustain the next 140 years of Nottingham Rugby."
To secure your child's free, standing season ticket, please register via the 'Free Junior Season Ticket' option on www.nottinghamrugbydirect.co.uk (one child per transaction), and then click on the red text on your confirmation email to complete the registration process.
All applicants will then be invited to pick up their season ticket at the club's season launch in August 2016 (date TBC) or will be able to collect it at the first game they attend at The Bay during the 2016/17 campaign.
The offer is currently open to anyone who is 16 years of age or under on the 1st September 2016.**

LOS ANGELES – The Getty Foundation and the American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS) announced today the first ten recipients of Getty/ACLS Postdoctoral Fellowships in the History of Art. The fellowships mark the first time the Foundation has supported postdoctoral grants since 2009. The new program is non-residential and it builds on the Foundation's earlier fellowship program by encouraging diverse, international perspectives. The program is administered by ACLS, a preeminent representative of American scholarship in the humanities and related social sciences.
The initial Foundation grant to ACLS of $2,350,000 over three years is supporting ten postdoctoral fellows each year, including the fellows named above, who are selected by a distinguished committee of scholars. Each 12-month fellowship includes a $60,000 stipend and an additional $5,000 for travel and research. Awardees will convene at the Getty for a week-long residency upon completion of their fellowships, creating a community of scholars connected to one another. As with the Foundation's earlier postdoctoral program, the fellowships encourage projects that make substantial and original contributions to the understanding of art and its history, an endeavor that now includes both technical and digital art history.
The Postdoctoral Fellowships were a flagship Getty Foundation program for 25 years. From 1984 to 2009, over 350 fellowships were awarded to scholars at the beginning of their careers. The program focused on broadening the definition of the visual arts and strengthening the connection between art history and other humanistic disciplines.
The new program allows for more cross-disciplinary research, new modes of interpretation, and projects that have an impact on the broader field of art history beyond the recipient's specific sub-fields.
ACLS, a private, nonprofit federation of 75 national scholarly organizations, is widely recognized for its administration of fellowship programs, offering over $20 million in fellowships to support more than 350 scholars worldwide. These fellowships provide a range of opportunities for scholars in all fields of the humanities and at all career stages, from graduate students and distinguished professors to independent scholars.

Ojukwu, the People's General Lives On
Posted on February 25, 2011 Author Sakhos Silas Ejiofoh.	Comment(0)
While reflecting on why Biafra lost the war of survival against Nigeria, in which about 3 million Igbos died, some non-Igbo critics of Ojukwu are of the view that he led his own people tactlessly into what was clearly a foreseeable disaster. Others claim that due to his passion for power, he paid more attention to the politics of the war than to the one basic question of security. Yet, there are others who blame him for not securing the support of any of the world super powers before going to war with Nigeria, etc. Though, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu who, like every human being, may have his weaknesses, obviously must have made some mistakes in life, given a lot of reasons.
Unlike the typical corrupt African politicians averse to steadfastness, Odumegwu, for instance, did not betray communist East Germany educated Chuba Okadigbo, who engineered his return back to Nigeria from exile in the Ivory Coast. As a one-time special adviser on political affairs to the National Party of Nigeria (NPN) Dr. Okadigbo advised the Shehu Shagari government that granting Ojukwu a state pardon would ensure appreciable level of Igbo support for NPN, which prior to that time was seen by Igbos as a `Hausa party` and therefore had feeble presence in Igboland. How people connected with Ojukwu was evident in the hero's welcome he got when he set his foot in Nigeria after 13 years of exile. Prominent politicians from various political parties in the land wanted to tap into the NPN investment, holding out before him some goodies, promising to add the heavens to the earth being dangled by the NPN, if he could throw the NPN pact into the nearest dustbin. Indeed, he was tongue-lashed by some of his Igbo people, who felt he had broken ranks, and might cut into the Nnamdi Azikiwe-led Nigeria Peoples Party's (NPP) electoral advantage in the East. At that time, NPP controlled the only two Igbo states in Nigeria – Anambra and Imo, and Plateau state, which is outside Igbo land. Therefore, NPP was where much of Igbo loyalty lay. But Ojukwu firmly stood his ground, as he dutifully maintained the political pact with the second republic government.
Ironically, he found himself being the centre of intrigue by the NPN, which had a capacity to trivialize even the most serious issues. Concerned about Ojukwu`s enigmatic influence, they did not only abandon him, but rigged him out of a senate seat to a little known state commissioner called Dr. Edwin Onwudiwe, who was in then Governor Jim Nwobodo's cabinet. Ojukwu would later jokingly refer to himself as Onwudiwe's ID, meaning the man's only way of identifying himself was to say, "Am the man who won Ojukwu in an election." The path home for Ojukwu was laced with treachery, as he was, for instance, restrained by successive military governments from laying down his head in his father's house at 25 Queens Drive Ikoyi, Lagos. The government had used the excuse of rebellion against the state of Nigeria to confiscate the property. Nigerians stood by him out in the open, and with the awkward walls within which he had anything being an old rickety bus, all that in the rainy season. It was from there that he fought to reverse an eviction. According to him, as an old soldier, he could adapt to any condition. The military government's arm was eventually forced by public anger it couldn't stand any longer, to let go of the man's property, but not after series of court rulings. Also, Ojukwu's military pension which was also one of the conditions for the state pardon didn't start coming until 41 years after the end of the civil war.
Ojukwu has held many important positions in the country. His first job was to oversee colonial affairs as a district officer in the town of Udi. He had also worn the UN helmet as a peace keeper in the Congo Crisis of the 1960s. Ojukwu was to hold forth as the first Quarter-Master-General of the Nigerian Army, and later discharged himself satisfactorily as the commander of the 5th battalion of the Nigerian Army in Kano. His next posting was as the Military Governor of the old Eastern Region in Nigeria. He moved with the circumstance in Biafra to become a four-star general and head of state of that country. He threw his heart into the political arena once again in 2003, founding the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and contesting the Nigeria presidential elections as the party's flag bearer.
At no time in his public service has Ojukwu been swayed by corruption, something to which his contemporaries look kindly. This is an excellent record in a country like Nigeria. It is believed that part of his father's wealth was channelled into the Biafra war effort. Ojukwu is guided by the principle of contentment. You don't look any further for a true and astute leader. When he was once addressed as a chief by an interviewer, he replied, saying, "I am not a chief; it rhymes with thief."
Intellectually, and among his contemporaries, Ojukwu is one of the brightest. Not surprising, Ojukwu's father was Sir. Louis Odumegwu Ojukwu, a Hope Waddell Institute educated-parliamentarian in Nigeria's first republic. Ojukwu senior was a business mogul and said to be one of the richest men in Nigeria in his time. He was also founding president of the Nigeria Stock Exchange, as well as president of the African Continental Bank (ACB), and was in the boards of most of the powerful companies in Nigeria at the time. The senior Ojukwu made no mistake of what he wanted his son to be, sending his son to the elite Kings College in Lagos. At 13, Ojukwu was on his way to Europe to enrol at the elite Epsom College. Ojukwu proceeded to the famous Oxford University, where he obtained a Bachelor's as well as a Master`s Degree in History. But Ojukwu will downplay these academic acquisitions, and tell you that "Education is not elitism, education actually, to me, is more a question of sharpening one's choices and consciousness. The value in it is the effect one has on one's people."
Ojukwu is a highly talented man who can strike it out with you in various Nigerian languages. The English author Frederick Forsyth recollects that Ojukwu made the atmosphere in the flight that brought him back to Nigeria from exile very cordial, as Ojukwu freely cracked jokes and interacted with all the delegations sent to receive him in their original languages of Yoruba, Hausa and, of course, Igbo. He also interacted in French with the Ivorian delegation sent by his host president late Félix Houphouët-Boigny of Ivory Coast.
Also, unbeknownst to many people, Ojukwu learnt how to speak Yoruba language first before his own native Igbo language. The early sign that Ojukwu would not grow up to become a weakling but the defender of people against injustice and oppression started when he was only 11 years old. He was briefly imprisoned by the colonialists for assaulting a white British colonial teacher, who had humiliated a black woman at King's College, Lagos. The incident generated widespread coverage in local newspapers. The second incident was at the age of 13 at Epsom College in Surrey, United Kingdom, where a naughty white boy caused Ojukwu's African accent to make his colleagues shake with laughter. One day, at the hallway to the chapel, he heard one of them call him `monkey` and another tripped him and his books were all scattered on the floor. The boy had no idea he and his colleagues had been provoking a sleeping lion by always intentionally and contemptuously stepping on its tail, hence the boy got the beating of his life and a three-day admission in the hospital to go with. Ojukwu would be among those who would eventually be at the boy's bedside, and they became friends thereafter. These incidents serve to prove the Igbo adage which says that "the sign of a pear that would darken to maturity starts with a dark spot at the head."
As one of the detribalized leaders in Nigeria Ojukwu played an outstanding role in neutralising the first coup in Nigeria, even though he had to confront the coup leader and a fellow Igbo officer, Major Chukwuma Nzeokwu and other officers from mainly southern and, especially eastern Nigeria. It weakens the argument of people determined to justify an assault on a people by claiming it was an all-Igbo coup. The coup was largely seen as successful in the North and partly in Lagos as Lagos was then the seat of power, and both the prime minister of the country and the premier of the North had been killed. But it lost momentum as Ojukwu refused to cooperate with the coup plotters in the North and pitched loyalty with Gen. Aguyi-Ironsi, the legitimate commander of the Nigerian army, who ensured the coup plotters wouldn't accomplish their aims in Lagos. Then, came the unrestrained killings of Igbos in the North led by mainly northern military officers among whom were, Lt. Col. Yakubu Gowon, Lts ADS Wya, Ibrahim Babangida, Garba Duba, Lt. Col. Murtala Muhammed, Lt Col. Shehu Musa Yar`Adua, Capt. Ahmadu Yakubu, Capt. Daramola, Lts. Buka Sukar Dimka, Lts. Shelleng, Hannaniya, Muhammadu Jega, Sani Abacha, Saleh Dambo and many others.For instance, over 20 Igbo officers were executed at the Brigade HQ on 29 and 30 July 1966. Some of the eastern and southern officers killed during the first batch include Major O.U. Isong, Major Ogunro, Lt. Col. I.C. Okoro, Capt L.C. Dilibe, Major C.C. Emelifonwu, Capt. I.U. Idika, and Major A. Drummond. In accordance with the spirit goading the killers, Lt. Col Mohammed Shuwa, the commandant of the 5th battalion would preside over the massacres of Igbos at both the Kano airport and the main railway station in Kano.
Earlier, on July 29, 1966 in this on-going northern counter-coup, Theophilus Danjuma, Sani Bello, Martin Adamu and other Northern military officers had taken General T. Aguiyi-Ironsi the military head of State of Nigeria and his host Col. Francis Fajuyi to a location outside Ibadan and shot them to death. In the face of the madness, Ojukwu pursued a peaceful course. He had held onto the concept of one Nigeria. It caused him to make the tactical mistake of asking Igbos to return, after the first killings, to their former stations in other parts of Nigeria, following assurances by various individuals and groups. But the northern and other counter-coupists couldn't resist a second round of bloodletting. Igbos killed in the two waves of attacks had totalled about 50,000. This is coupled with the fact that Ojukwu and Lt. Col. David Ogunewe for days had been pushing back against Igbos who wanted to go into and cut down northern soldiers at the barracks in Enugu. According to Nowa Omoigui, quoting Lt-General JS Jalo, the same "Northern soldiers who left Enugu unmolested got themselves involved in molesting departing Igbo refugees and looting their property in Ikeja barrack. The Igbo were going away and looting set in and some senior officers, I must confess, encouraged this to happen." In fact, 90% of officers from the East and some from the West were massacred in the North. Just a handful escaped to their home regions.
Regrettably these killings in the North are still continuing nearly 50 years on, though modified as religious riots. It is unfortunate that the Nigerian youth today would need special education to remove the image of death associated with the North, a place where petrol is poured on homes, fire lobbed in and the occupants consumed by raging fire. Where innocent people, including infants, are hunted and hacked to death with flimsy excuses. If it is not Zango-Kataf massacres, it would be Kano Maitatsine, numerous other Kano, Kaduna riots, Gombe Riots, Tafawa Balewa Riots, Kafanchan Riots, Bauchi Riots, Bulumkutu Maiduguri Riots, renewed Maiduguri Riots aka Boko Haram, Abuja Bombings, then the festering Jos Riots and Bombings. The list is endless, killing, killing and killing, every now and then! Interestingly, the culture is to keep your mouth shut and not openly frown at these silly acts, otherwise you would be seen as fanning the embers of disunity in a nascent democracy. Long live One Nigeria! May Allah and God help us all. Hey, what set off these two names simultaneously from my mouth? I digressed.
Following the slaughters in the North before the war, steps were taken to revert to normalcy. However, after series of meetings, including the one in Aburi, Ghana, some northern elites and Britain instigated the Gowon government to renege on the Aburi Accord. Gowon unilaterally split Eastern Nigeria into three states contrary to the federal structure agreed upon in Aburi, while Ojukwu, after consultations with leaders in the East, responded after three days by declaring the whole Eastern Nigeria as a sovereign state called the Republic of Biafra on 30th July 1967.
For effective results, natural resources are relied on in the prosecution of wars around the world. For example, Kuwait pays America with oil. In the Angolan war, UNITA traded in diamonds to obtain weapons, MPLA exchanged oil for weapons. See Diamond Fact Also, see Worldbank. The Taliban fighters and Al Qaida in Afghanistan are handing out raw, hard drugs for weapons. Even Charles Taylor of Liberia traded raw diamonds from neighbouring Sierra Lone with weapons. See Naomi Cambel ordeal Likewise, Hamas in Palestine and Hezbollah in Lebanon are supplied with weapons by Iran and Syria. For the weapons it got, a country like Nigeria has an arrangement in which some advanced countries own and suck the oil in the country till it perhaps runs dry. Foreign countries are given the free hand on projects like the sport the Russians made of Katsina, Itape, Jos and Ajaokuta rolling mills. It was only the Ojukwu-inspired Biafran scientists and inventors, notable names among whom were, the science genius Roy Umenyi, Ben Nwosu, Godian Ezekwe, Emma Osolu, Sam Orji, Njoku Obi, and so many others who during the Nigerian civil war, continued to dazzle with invention and manufacture of their own weapons. They wouldn't stop at pulling off weapons like surface to surface missiles, ground to air missiles, rocket launchers, rocket-propelled grenades, assault rifles, but kept the world gaping with gun boats for amphibious attacks. There was also the famous Biafra Bomb popularly known in Igboland as either `Ojukwu Bucket` or 'Ogbunaigwe,` meaning the mass killer. The Biafran Shore Battery easily devastated marine craft, like the Oguta feat masterminded by Ojukwu. In Biafra, lorries that rolled into underground warehouses rolled out as armoured vehicles. Refining crude oil wasn't a preserve of any refinery. It got domesticated, and was plentiful. Attempts were also made to build war airplanes, they tried virtually everything they could, but the starvation policy and the economic blockage by Nigeria and their western supporters crippled the new republic. What is interesting is that all this was achieved in the midst of the chocking hold on Biafra through blockade by the advanced countries, including the neighbouring Cameroon and Nigeria. That was also the time Nigeria signed off the oil rich Bakassi Peninsula which was on Biafra territory to Cameroon for their kindness in starving infants in Biafra. In fact, the Nigerian Santa Claus did really come to town after the victory over Biafra, throwing largesse anywhere one looked.
The elder statesman's benefit to the country and Igboland in particular is even becoming more and more invaluable by the day. For example, his APGA has succeeded in giving Anambra State headed by the resourceful and amiable Governor Peter Obi a democratic, stable and meaningful government. Apart from the ex-Nigeria Information Minister Prof. Dora Akunyili who has resigned from both her office and her party PDP and joined Ojukwu`s APGA to contest a senatorial seat, there are many other prominent Igbo politicians who are abandoning their parties, mainly PDP, to join in the APGA queue. With this trend, I foresee Ojukwu's APGA taking over all the Igbo states in Nigeria. And, with the success of APGA so far and given the current situation on the ground, it appears that what Ojukwu could not achieve militarily, he has succeeded in achieving through democratic means, by giving the Igbos a party they can call their own, at least in Anambra State and, with time, this will happen in all states in Igboland. Only time will tell. Also, see Nigerianelite Forum

Aviva Singapore registered SGD90.5 million in annual premium equivalent (APE) for the first half of 2017, a 57% year-on-year increase, behind strong contributions by Aviva Financial Advisers and the Affinity channel.
Value of new business (VNB) also grew by 14%, reaching SGD77.1 million for the first six months of the year.
According to the British insurer, it made significant investment to simplify and digitalise its sales process to benefit its customers and financial advisers, including harnessing technology to provide real-time underwriting at the point of sale. These developments are expected to cut down the average turnaround time for new applications.
Aviva is one of the top providers of group insurance in the country, serving more than 3,000 organisations, including government agencies such as the Ministry of Defence and Ministry of Home Affairs.
The insurer said it believes the financial advisory (FA) channel is still top in most developed markets, such as the UK and Australia, and it sees the same for Singapore.
Since 2013, Aviva Singapore has been a majority stakeholder in PIAS, one of the largest FA firms in the country. In August 2016, Aviva launched its own financial advisory with an initial 280 advisers, which has now grown to over 500.

DEBUT EPISODE OF NBC SPORTS' NEW WEEKLY NHL PODCAST – OUR LINE STARTS – AVAILABLE NOW
New Podcast Features Rotation of NHL on NBC Commentators; Jeremy Roenick and Keith Jones Host Debut Episode
Pierre McGuire Interviews Vegas Golden Knights President of Hockey Operations George McPhee
"He's making sure that everyone knows what the protocol is going to be. They need to show a little bit more jam." – Jeremy Roenick on Steven Stamkos and the Tampa Bay Lightning
"The finest line it's ever been for the Penguins at least in the last 12-13 years." – Keith Jones on Penguins' playoff chances
"The talent was undeniable – the leadership is what you crave." – McPhee on Goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury
STAMFORD, Conn. – Oct. 10, 2019 – NBC Sports' new weekly NHL podcast – Our Line Starts – has launched and is available now on all podcast platforms. Our Line Starts will highlight the top stories of each week, including behind-the-scenes content and interviews conducted by NBC Sports' NHL commentators.
This week's episode is hosted by Jeremy Roenick and Keith Jones and features Pierre McGuire's interview with Vegas Golden Knights President of Hockey Operations George McPhee.
Roenick and Jones also share their thoughts on the Tampa Bay Lightning and Pittsburgh Penguins, the rivalry between Drew Doughty and Matthew Tkachuk, and take a phone call from a Patrick Roy impersonator. Click here to listen to the show.
Following are additional highlights from this week's debut episode of Our Line Starts:
1:10-4:35 – Pressure mounting for the Tampa Bay Lightning
4:35-9:20 – Is Pittsburgh's playoff streak in jeopardy?
9:20-12:25 – Drew Doughty-Matthew Tkachuk rivalry
12:25-14:45 – J.R.'s battle with Craig Berube
14:45-18:00 – Jonesy gets under Steve Thomas' skin
18:00-20:05 – "Would you fight "Tie Domi?"
20:05-35:30 – Pierre McGuire interviews George McPhee
35:35-42:30 – "Patrick Roy" calls into the show
Following are excerpts from this week's episode of Our Line Starts:
Roenick on Steven Stamkos' criticism for Tampa Bay's start: "A lot of people are talking that they didn't have the 'Playoff Heavy' game. I love the fact that Stamkos has said, 'Listen, we are not going to have any room to maneuver here…' He's stepping on it, he's making sure that everyone knows what the protocol is going to be. They need to show a little bit more jam."
Jones on the Penguins: "There are holes in this lineup but they are still a Playoff team. My concern is the Eastern Conference, and more importantly their division, is getting better quickly…that is the challenge for the Pittsburgh Penguins. I still believe they are a Playoff team, but it's a fine line – the finest line it's ever been for the Penguins at least in the last 12-13 years."
Jones on Calgary Flames forward Matthew Tkachuk: "I don't think there's any fear in Matthew Tkachuk from any player in the league, and there isn't a guy on the Kings that Matthew Tkachuk is scared of. He's going to continue to bother Drew Doughty, and the more he recognizes it bothers Drew Doughty, the more he's going to continue to do that. It's something that benefits the Calgary Flames."
Roenick on fighting former Philadelphia Flyer and Blues' Stanley Cup-winning head coach Craig Berube: "I ran Ron Hextall in the crease and (head coach) Paul Holmgren sends Craig Berube out there to beat me up…the referee had his arms all locked up, I'm ready to go, I have my hand cocked. It's the devil on one shoulder and the angel on the other. 'What should I do?' Well, I listened to the wrong one, knock him out, and he wasn't too happy with me…we know what Craig Berube is like, he will get retribution, and he chased me around for four years."
Jones: "So day of the game, you know you're playing him again, what's going through your mind?"
Roenick: "Making sure I know where he is at all times…he finally got me in the locker room in Philly. When I signed there, he signed as a player-coach…he came down to the locker room, I was taping my stick – BOOM – on the ground. 'I told you I'd get you.'…we played golf that afternoon and we've been great friends ever since."
McPhee on his vision for the Golden Knights: "The vision was to put the best team we could on the ice. Get the best players we could in expansion and get surplus draft picks, but I felt we really had to put a good team on the ice to give this market a chance. We weren't sure what would happen here. No one knew two years ago that we'd have this extraordinary support in this market."
McPhee on impact of Marc-Andre Fleury: "The talent was undeniable – but the leadership is what you crave. To find people that are that good, that humble, that great in the community – it's hard to do. We don't have a captain on this team. I feel like we have 23 captains, but guys like him are big leaders on this club."

Seafarers win collective bargaining breakthrough in Iran
An ITF-affiliated seafarers' union based in Iran has achieved a major organising victory.
The Iranian Merchant Mariners Syndicate (IMMS) has won a new collective bargaining agreement (CBA) for seafarers working for Iran's five largest shipping companies.
Together, these five companies have more than 300 ships and employ more than 80% of all Iranian seafarers who work on Iranian-flagged vessels – that is thousands of seafarers.
They will now all be covered by this new IMMS agreement, which contains standards drawn from the ILO's Maritime Labour Convention (2006, as amended), and from Iran's various national labour laws.
The new CBA will mean a noticeable improvement in the seafarers' working conditions. It also brings clarity around seafarers' employment relationship with the shipowners – which, similar to other sectors and in other places, has workers' traditional employment relationship under threat from irresponsible models of engaging labour, such as the 'sham' independent contracting now common in food delivery.
In response, IMMS and Iran's leading shipping companies came together to provide their industry with a clear model for what an acceptable employment relationship between crew and shipowners should look like. The resulting CBA was the outcome of comprehensive negotiations between the two sides, said IMMS General Secretary Dr.Rezaei.
Dr Rezaei was present to officially sign the CBA on behalf of the union's membership, as were his counterparts from the major shipping companies who signed on behalf of the shipowners.

The ITF notes that the signing ceremony for the new CBA was held before the Minister of Labour of the Islamic Republic, indicating official support for these seafarers to access their right to collectively bargain. We hope the government's presence via their minister is a sign of progress and of things to come, towards all Iranian workers having access to their full range of rights.
The ITF encourages Iran's incoming Minister of Labour to continue progress towards respecting Iranian workers' rights.

Location Church Street
Town Derby,_Spondon
The Anglo-Saxons migrated into this area in the 5th century and the Anglo-Saxon and Danish influences are to be seen all around the Derwent valley. During the 5th and 6th centuries this was part of the Kingdom of Mercia, and Repton, its capital, was served by settlements including Spondon and other small neighbouring hamlets. An old Saxon cross with curious Celtic-style markings can be found in the churchyard, denoting early Christian activity, probably even before the end of the seventh century during which the Mercian Kings accepted Christianity. Originally dedicated to St. Werburgha, a Saxon princess, the Church and its Vicar were traditional Spondon institutions before the 9th century Danish invasions and Christianity was an integral part of its daily living. The present church dates back to around 1390, when it was completed to replace an earlier church destroyed by fire, along with almost the entire village, in 1340. It is a very large church compared with the size of the village as it was in the fourteenth century. The earlier church must have been equally large, because the present one stands on its foundations. The main body of the church, both nave and chancel, along with the 35 metre high tower and spire, date to 1390, although the north wall of the nave had been damaged by subsidence and was rebuilt in 1826. The roof also needed replacing but the church was ruined when a very low-pitched roof was built and the interior fitted with a flat ceiling. In 1895 this ruinous 'restoration' was finally replaced with a roof of the original pitch, the ceiling removed and the new fine vaulted roof structure exposed. Internally, the church has much of note, including some fine stained glass windows of the late Victorian period and the earlier half of the twentieth century. It has a peal of six bells, one of which is 16th century, one 17th and the remaining four of the 19th century. The fine organ dates from 1909, but with an electric action fitted in 1989. Adjacent to the main altar is a recessed sedilia, nearby a priest's sanctus window and there are four piscinas within the church. There is a lady chapel dedicated to St. Mary, which contains a First World War memorial. The royal arms displayed over the north (main) door is almost unique, there being only one other known example. It is dated between 1702 and 1707 because it displays the arms of Queen Ann before the union with Scotland. Externally, the remains of a decorated cross shaft said to date to around 870 and in the nearby former vicarage grounds is what is considered to be a 'holy well' which could be the site of the earliest Christian gatherings, before a timber and thatch church was erected, possibly around the year 750.

Oleksandrija (, ) è una città di 82.181 abitanti dell'Ucraina, situata nell'oblast' di Kirovohrad.

Geografia
Oleksandrija è situata a 80 km a nord-est di Kropyvnyc'kyj.

Storia
La città viene menzionata per la prima volta nel 1746 con il toponimo di Usivka (ucraino: Усівка). La registrazione ufficiale dell'insediamento risale al 1754, quando nella regione fu costruita la fortezza di Santa Elisabetta (oggi Kropyvnyc'kyj). Durante l'istituzione della colonia russa della Nuova Serbia nel 1752-1764, la 3a compagnia della Nuova Serbia fu acquartierata a Usivka Pandurs. Al posto di Usivka fu stabilito l'accampamento (sconce) Bechey (dal nome della città serba di Bečej).

Nel 1764 la Nuova Serbia fu liquidata e Usykivka divenne parte della provincia elisabettiana del Governatorato della Nuova Russia, che esistette fino al 1783, quando il suo territorio fu incluso nel vicereame di Ekaterinoslav. Nel 1784, il governo russo diede all'insediamento un nome ellenico di Aleksandrjys'k e successivamente Aleksandrija (localmente come Oleksandrija). Nel 1806-1922, Oleksandrija era un capoluogo di contea (uezd).

Nel 1917 apparvero rami dei cosacchi liberi ucraini sul territorio di Oleksandrija. Nel maggio 1919, la città fu il centro di una rivolta antibolscevica guidata dall'atamano Nykyfor Hryhoriv. Il 23 maggio 1919 la rivolta fu brutalmente repressa dalle forze dell'Armata Rossa.

Il 6 agosto 1941 fu occupata dalla Wehrmacht in seguito alla ritirata strategica dell'Armata Rossa. Durante l'occupazione nazista la locale popolazione ebraica, circa 2.500 persone, fu sterminata. L'amministrazione nazista ha anche giustiziato oltre 5.500 prigionieri di guerra sovietici come parte della posizione nazista sulla questione della mancata firma da parte dei sovietici della Convenzione di Ginevra del 1929. La città fu liberata dalle forze armate sovietiche il 6 dicembre 1943.

But then he tilts his nose into the air, says he's good with scents and would bet money that one of the girls is wearing a perfume called Child. "If you're wrong, you're and idiot. If you're right, you're like James bond." He turns to them. "Excuse me, can I be rude and ask you a question? Is somebody here wearing Child?" Silence. Then a blonde: "I am," she says. "Well done."

Q: Regular expression does not match what I would expect it to match Consider the following Javascript regular expression matching operation:
"class1 MsoClass2\tmsoclass3\t MSOclass4 msoc5".match(/(^|\s)mso.*?(\s|$)/ig);

I would expect it to return [" MsoClass2\t", "\tmsoclass3\t", " MSOclass4 ", " msoc5"]. Instead it returns [" MsoClass2\t", " MSOclass4 "].
Why?

A: The tabulator character before msoclass3 is already consumed by the first match " MsoClass2\t". Maybe you want to use a non-consuming look-ahead assertion instead:
/(^|\s)mso[^\s]*(?=\s|$)/

A: Because the first match consumes the tab character, so there is no white space character left before the second MSO string. Same with the space after the second match.
Perhaps you want to match word boundaries instead of the separating characters. This code:
"class1 MsoClass2\tmsoclass3\t MSOclass4 msoc5".match(/\bmso.*?\b/ig)

will give you this result:
["MsoClass2","msoclass3","MSOclass4","msoc5"]

A: Because once it's matched " MsoClass2\t", the matcher is looking at the m in msoclass3, which doesn't match the initial space.

A: This is becaue you are using ^ OR \s(whitespace) for first match while the string has NO whitespace for class 3. To get the results you want, use the following inside match():
/mso.*?(\s|$)/ig

A: I am not sure you can use something like (^|\s) and (\s|$), first -- maybe you can, but I have to thikn to understand the regex -- and it's never good when someone has to think to understand a regex : those are often quite too complicated :-(

If you want to match words that begins by "mso", be it upper or lowercase, I'd probably use something like this :
"class1 MsoClass2\tmsoclass3\t MSOclass4 msoc5".match(/\s?(mso[^\s]*)\s?/ig);

Which gets you :
[" MsoClass2 ", "msoclass3 ", " MSOclass4 ", "msoc5"]

Which is (almost : there are a couple white-spaces differences) what you asked.
Or, even simpler :
"class1 MsoClass2\tmsoclass3\t MSOclass4 msoc5".match(/(mso[^\s]*)/ig);

Which gets you :
["MsoClass2", "msoclass3", "MSOclass4", "msoc5"]

Whithout aby whitespace.

More easy to read / understand, too ;-)


We've long talked about the evolution of public relations, how instant access to the public, customers, vendors and colleagues impacts what we say, how we say it and where we say it.
Now, with the economic recession, newspapers and other print publications are facing the do-or-die transition to digital distribution. No longer can they dabble in building an online business model while maintaining their bread and butter in print.
With skyrocketing print, ink and transportation costs and decreased revenue from advertising, newspapers across the country are enacting sweeping changes that are altering how we receive our daily news.
The Christian Science Monitor and U.S. News & World Report are focusing on the Web, and as more newspapers cut back on staffing and circulation, the media landscape is changing daily, if not hourly. Even the Tribune Co. declared bankruptcy.
Starting in spring 2009, both the Free Press and the Detroit News — also operated by the partnership — would deliver to homes only on Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays, the heaviest days for advertising and the most popular papers for readers.
Free Press newsroom resources will be increasingly devoted to freep.com and related Web sites. The Free Press also will offer digitalfreepress.com, enabling subscribers to view online the pages of the paper just as they appear in print.
This news follows on the heels of a major restructuring from Booth Newspapers, which included buyouts and production moves from dailies across the state (not to mention the previous transition of Oakland Business Review from print to online).
We announce the formation of The Oakland Press Institute for Citizen Journalism and invite readers to attend our classes. The first class will be from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Monday, Dec. 29, in our building at 48 W. Huron St., Pontiac. We will be offering anyone who is interested — from high school students to retirees — instruction in news writing, videography, basics of reporting for news and sports, and still photography.
What do these unprecedented changes mean for public relations? Print and broadcast media relations, although a large part of the public relations, are not the sole focus of any good campaign. PR professionals need to address all aspects of a company's public – its media, customers, vendors, analysts and influencers. And more importantly, PR needs to reach those audiences through their preferred communication channel, whether it's print media relations, social networking or other digital communications.
The practice of public relations may take heat from time to time for ineffective outreach, but the essence of connecting a company with an audience in an impactful way remains essential for any product or service. The era of customer service as an indicator of brand influence is here, and public relations remains in a strong position to make those connections, regardless of medium.
