Besides stocks, real estate and bank deposits, bonds have always been one of the traditional asset classes that investors might consider including in their investment portfolios.
Bonds represent debt obligations issued by organisations and companies to investors. Investing in a bond means owning the debt of a bond issuer. A bond issuer will make interest payments at regular intervals to you, the investor, until the maturity of the bond, where the issuer is legally obliged to return the principal.
In the past, bonds were not readily available in Singapore for retail investors due to the high minimum investment sum usually required. However, over the past decade, there have been an increasing number of bond issues targeting retail investors.
With more options available, Singapore retail investors can now include bonds in their investment portfolio. But how can someone start investing in bonds?
Before you start investing in bonds, you first need to know what are some of the most common types of bonds that you can invest in.
These are bonds issued by the Singapore Government. They include treasury-bills (T-bills), SGS Bonds and Singapore Savings Bonds (SSB). These bonds are backed by the Singapore government and can be regarded as risk-free.
Corporate bonds are bonds issued by corporate entities.
Unlike the SGS, corporate bonds can significantly vary in its riskiness, depending on the corporate entities that issue them. Typically, the risk of these corporate bonds can be determined through an analysis of the company's financial in order for investors to find out how well a company can service its bond obligations. Some investors may also rely on the bond's credit rating (if any) to determine how risky a bond is.
If two bonds are paying the same interest rate, a savvy investor will naturally choose the company which has stronger fundamentals. As such, entities that issue bonds which are deemed to be riskier may need to offer higher interest rates to attract investors.
Of course, even the safest bonds issued by the best companies today may deteriorate in quality over time. That's because corporate entities operate in an ever-changing business environment. A highly profitable company today may become less profitable or even loss-making in the future. This will, in turn, affect the quality of its bonds.
An investor can invest into a basket of bonds through a bond ETF. The beauty of investing in a bond ETF is that you enjoy a diversified portfolio of bonds without having to ever buy one directly or considering reinvesting cash flows from expiring bonds.
The ABF Singapore Bond Index Fund is one such bond ETF listed on the Singapore Exchange (SGX). Managed by Nikko Asset Management, this ETF invests in high-quality bonds issued by the Singapore government and quasi-Singapore government entities.
Once you understand the different types of bonds available in Singapore, you can consider investing in one or more.
Some investors have the perception that bonds are an inaccessible asset class for retail investors. This is not true. Even from as little as a few hundred dollars, investors can start investing in some bonds in Singapore.
The bonds listed above are available for all retail investors to purchase. There are also some bonds which are only available for accredited investors.
An example of such a bond is the Astrea III PE Bonds, the first publicly-listed private equity bond in Singapore. The Astrea III PE bond is backed by cashflows from a diversified portfolio of private equity funds that subsidiaries of Astrea III have invested into. Astrea III's parent company, Azalea Asset Management Pte. Ltd., is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Temasek Holdings (Private) Limited.
The Astrea III PE bond was launched on the SGX in July 2016 and its Class A-1 bonds enjoys a rating of "A+sf" and "A+ (sf)" by rating agencies Fitch and S&P respectively.
* Credit ratings companies use the indicator "sf" for "Structured Finance" instruments. The "sf" prefix does not change the definition of the ratings.

Before you invest into some of these bonds, you should consider answering these three questions first.
Unlike investing in stocks or properties, most bonds have a finite lifespan. This is also known as its maturity.
Ideally, the maturity of a bond that you invest in should be aligned with your own investment horizon. For example, if you need to use the money that you've invested in five years' time, it makes sense for you to invest in a bond that matures within five years, as opposed to the one that matures in 20 years.
Unlike stocks that can easily be bought and sold on the exchange, bonds tend to be less liquid. Hence, before you invest into a bond, you should look at the liquidity of the bond to see if this could be an issue in the future if you need to sell it off urgently.
For some bonds such as the Singapore Savings Bonds, liquidity is not an issue as the government have already guaranteed that your bond investment can be redeemed at any point in time with its principal guaranteed.
For listed and unlisted corporate bonds, you can sell your bonds through the exchange that the bonds are listed in and OTC markets respectively. However, there is no guarantee that you will be able to receive the full investment amount, since the value of the bond may fluctuate depending on market conditions. In addition, similar to stocks, bonds can only be sold on the exchange if there are other buyers who are willing to buy them.
Some investors are attracted to bonds because they perceive it to be less risky. This statement is not completely true. Bonds are typically less risky compared to stocks only if we are comparing them with regards to the same issuing company.
For example, if we were to compare between the stocks and bonds issued by DBS, then it's fair to say that the bonds issued are likely to be less risky.
That's because in a liquidation, bondholders will have senior claims to the company's assets over its shareholders.
However, if we are comparing between the stocks of one company to the bonds of another company that is of lower quality and at higher risk of default, this may not necessarily be true.
When you take higher risk by investing into the bonds of a company with weaker fundamentals, you should naturally expect higher returns.
As an investor, you need to consider your risk tolerance level before you invest in a bond, rather than automatically assume that all bonds are safe and as a result, invest into the bonds that give you the highest return, and which are also very likely to be the riskiest.
A well-constructed portfolio should include both stocks and bonds. Stocks offer volatility that allows investors to quickly increase the value of their portfolio during good times. On the other hand, bonds which tends to be less volatile, and are able to offer stability during bad times while still delivering good value through regular interest payments.
By having the right allocation of bonds in their portfolio, an investor will be able to enjoy the best of both worlds.

This year, I've covered an inspiring distance in my art career. As I start 2019, I'm imagining an interview with myself - my younger, more fearful self from January 2018 - learning from myself now in January 2019. Here I look over a few highlights from this amazing year.
2018 Jamie: You've just finished an amazing Christmas season where you booked more projects than ever before. Where did all your new clients find you?
2019 Jamie: At the beginning of the new year, I invested in some professional SEO services for my FlourishFamilyCrests website and I think that helped a lot. But many of my wins and blessings came from tiny seeds that I planted earlier in the year.
2018 Jamie: What's an example of those tiny seeds?
2019 Jamie: I scattered tiny seeds everywhere - I started new social media profiles, I started an Instagram feed, created new portfolios, and set up an online store as well as a new Squarespace website.
My Etsy shop was successful at the beginning of 2018, but I knew that I wanted to pivot and move some of my sales off of Etsy. Etsy raised their fees earlier this year, and they don't encourage users to collect email addresses. In addition, I offer very customized products and services that require a lot of one-on-one collaboration.
I was looking for flexibility to collaborate with my clients, and the tools to establish long-term relationships and friendships with my patrons. I've invested in some wonderful software that will give my clients and patrons the personalized service, meaning, and connection that is at the heart of my pieces.
From etsy shop to full-time freelance: how Flourish Family Crests was born.

Have you ever considered adding a chat widget to your websites, but never actually did? Now you can boost your website with the feature-rich chat box tool for free. Just follow these three simple steps disclosed in this tutorial and your chatbox is be ready for use.
The following article reveals the chat box installation manual for websites.
First, you need to get your individual code. Visit Chatwee.com and click a Sign Up. button in the header menu or click here to go to registration page. Fill in quick registration form and click Create my Chat Widget button.
After completing the registration process successfully, you will be redirected to Control Panel home page with the script attached in blue box. Copy it after selection (or just click Copy to Clipboard button) and we move on to the next step.
Go to your HTML markup editor and paste the installation code on every page of your website. Best place for script injection is just above closing <body>.
Due to the fact that we are installing a chat box version of Chatwee chat service, we need to indicate in what particular place on the page we want our chat box to appear. Add the following code to your HTML markup. This time – the injection spot really matters!
As you can see in the following code snippet the specific id has been given to a div element. It can be named as you wish, but leave it in mind, cause you will have to put it the last step. So, let's get our chat box start working!
Return for a while to Chatwee Control Panel and choose Customize from the main menu. Make sure to stay on General tab and scroll down to Embed as section. As the example follows, enter "chatwee-root" to a text field labeled ContainerID. Please note, that if you have changed the id value in the code snippet mentioned in the previous step, just make sure to type the same one.
Last thing to make your chat system operating is setting the chat box dimensions. You can do it in two different ways. Both of them work the same way, so it makes no difference which one you choose.
From the drop down menu below choose Define manually. This will cause two additional text fields will appear where you can put your desired chat box dimensions. The minimum value for width is 183 px and 406 px for height. After setting the proper sizes just click the Apply changes button beneath and go to your website to check your brand new chat box in action.
This method allows you to set a width and height values in your stylesheet. From the same drop down menu (labeled Size) choose Adjust to Container and click Apply changes button below. Return to your HTML markup editor.
Paste the following code to your CSS file. Again, remember to give a proper id if you have changed it previously.

A new summer field course is allowing students to "take the pulse" of stakeholders across the state after the release of the 2017 Montana Climate Assessment last September. The three-week course, supported by the MSU Honors College, is led by Dr. Tony Hartshorn and Dr. Scott Powell, both faculty in the Land Resources and Environmental Sciences department at MSU.
"From July 16-19, [students] will travel west to Butte's Berkeley Pit, then Lubrecht Experimental Forest, then tour Pyramid Lumber's operation, hike to Grinnell Glacier in Glacier National Park, and review climate adaptation strategies on the Blackfeet Reservation. From July 30-August 2, we will camp in the Lamar Valley, drive over Beartooth Pass, tour the 250 MW Yellowtail Dam, tour the 2094 MW Colstrip Power Plant, and then meet with Montana Petroleum Association representatives before finishing with tours of the 60,000-barrel-per-day Laurel refinery and the Stillwater Recycling Facility in Columbus. From August 6-9, we will tour central Montana, beginning with a Helena meeting with Public Service Commissioners, a meeting with Timeless Seeds producers, a jaunt on the Ice Caves Trail, a tour of the Central Agricultural Research Center, a tour of TwoDot Ranch, and a tour of the Judith Basin Wind Energy Facility. "
In addition to their on-the-ground discussions and observations about Montana's changing climate, the students will write and post blogs about their experiences on the Climate Class 2018 website. The course will culminate with students developing a series of videos, podcasts, and op-eds to ultimately "catalog our journey into the science and politics and adventure of how Montanans are (and are not!) thinking about how Montana's changing climate might affect their future--our future."

The Advertising Standards Authority for Ireland (ASAI) launches new advertising campaign
The Advertising Standards Authority for Ireland (ASAI) launches new advertising campaign to remind consumers and advertisers of standards for responsible marketing communications
New tongue-in-cheek 'Multi-Immortablets' campaign aims to highlight examples of breaches of the ASAI code
The Advertising Standards Authority for Ireland (ASAI), the independent self-regulatory body committed to promoting the highest standards of marketing communications in Ireland, has launched a new advertising campaign across radio, print and digital outdoor.
The new advertising campaign aims to remind consumers and advertisers that the ASAI is committed to ensuring all marketing communications in Ireland are legal, decent, honest and truthful.
The ASAI's print advert parodies a sample product, illustrated as 'Multi-Immortablets', with a caption reading "You will never die". The advert is a tongue in cheek sample of an advertisement which is an obvious breach of the ASAI Code. It is also clear from the advertisement that the ASAI is the organisation tasked with ensuring the best interests of consumers and advertisers.
Similarly, a 30 second radio advert features a radio voiceover artist who tells listeners that he is "known for his safe and reassuring tones". The advert communicates to listeners that the ASAI oversees standards in advertising, ensuring that ads don't mislead or offend Irish consumers. The ad tells listeners that the ASAI will "listen to your concerns, respond to your complaints and set the standards for responsible advertising".
The ASAI Code of Standards for Advertising and Marketing Communications in Ireland covers commercial marketing communications and sales promotions across all media in Ireland including digital (online banners, websites and social platforms), print, outdoor, radio, TV, leaflets / brochures, and direct marketing. The objective of the Code is to ensure that all commercial marketing communications are 'legal, decent, honest and truthful' and members of the ASAI are required to abide by the Code and not to publish an advertisement or conduct a promotion which contravenes Code rules.
The organisation also offers free confidential and non-binding copy advice on the compliance of proposed advertising. Advertisers, agencies, media and promoters can obtain copy advice from the ASAI on whether a proposed marketing communication or sales promotion conforms to the Code.
Speaking about the new campaign Orla Twomey, Chief Executive of the ASAI, said:
"The ASAI is passionate about good advertising because responsible advertisements are good for consumers, society and advertisers and ensure trust in brands. Our campaign aims to raise awareness of the ASAI among consumers and advertisers, ensuring effective self-regulation of the advertising industry. Our approach is to work with advertisers rather than against them to ultimately ensure that all marketing communications are truthful, decent and honest.
If an advertiser has any concerns, the confidential copy advice service can aid advertisers, agencies and media members in creating responsible advertisements."
The ASAI's 2015 Annual Report shows that a total of 1,221 written complaints relating to 924 advertisements were submitted to the Advertising Standards Authority for Ireland (ASAI) in 2015. The updated 7th edition of the ASAI Code of Standards for Marketing and Advertising also came into effect on the first of March 2016. The code was updated to ensure the code was relevant, reflecting societal and cultural values and attitudes. The ASAI conducts ongoing monitoring of advertising across all media and since 2007 has examined over 27,000 advertisements, with an overall compliance rate of 98 per cent.
The Advertising Standards Authority for Ireland is financed by the advertising industry and committed, in the public interest, to promoting the highest standards of marketing communications that is advertising, promotional marketing and direct marketing.

Who is J you might ask?
It's crazy how something happen in my life. Things come very unexpectedly and always at the wrong time.
One night I decided to go chill with some friends because I was going through a situation with my ex. She wanted to leave me. So she left. These two amazing people helped me pushed through it all. But BJ had a different hold on me. All three of stayed up all night just talking about life, everything.
Around 6 o'clock in the morning, there was something different about BJ after our friend went to work. He kept interested in the conversation to the point where I couldn't sleep. The entire time I sat there and laid next to him thinking when I she going to kiss me. As I layed next to him looking him face to face, I couldn't help but want to know more about him. I couldn't resist the temptation of knowing he wanted to kiss me too.
I turned over and tried to fall asleep but I couldn't do he started rubbing my back in the most gentle way. BJ then asked me "What am I spelling?" As he wrote words and letters on my back. There was a couple letters at first, just random ones. I asked him to spell a word for me. The first letter was a K, then I, S, and S. Multiple thoughts rushed in my head to know if he wanted what I want. I didn't know how to think or even feel.
Finally, it was my turn because I insisted to spell a word to finish what he said. I wrote M and E along his back. It took him a second to get it but he understood and he kissed me right there. I didn't know how to feel about it or what it even was. I never expected something like that to even occur.
We instantly knew and found out at that moment we had both liked each other. But let me tell you why BJ is the one that changed everything.
He's about the same height as me. He wears whatever he wants and doesn't care what anybody thinks about it. He's different, not scary different but good different. He's younger than me but not too much to the point where it's weird.
He looks at the world in a different perspective and judges no one. He works hard everyday and always strives to do and be better. BJ has goals and ambitions that make him more attractive. He's self confident and trustworthy.

For the price I was hoping for a little more. Its smells stronger and very caramel but not so when added water, I mixed with 1tsp Barbados brown sugar and 1 sweetener to take that bitterness away and to get more of that caramel taste. All in all I have grown to enjoy it but I will be trying other flavours before buying this flavour again.
I really like this coffee it makes a change and helps satisfy my sweet tooth.
I find black coffee can be a bit sharp on the taste buds, but this is delicious and smells amazing! Gives me a little happiness when I wake up knowing I can have this and still be following the rules of the diet!
Brilliant product. Only one I've tried but love this. It's just enough flavour for something different, you can even add some chocolate shake to make a kinda Mocha.
I discovered these flavour coffee's long before I found exante, and I love using them, its being able to have all the flavour of a syrup coffee without the calories...BONUS!!! Beanies have introduced 2 new flavours to their range of Chocolate Orange and also Gingerbread, so hope you start stocking these too...!!!
I have bought all the flavoured coffees from Exante website and will continue to do so. it is cheaper to buy them from here as long as you order other stuff at the same time. At the moment they are on buy one get one free so I might have to order more just to get the good value. I have two complete sets - one at work and one at home and keep them hidden from others. They make a change to water and tea and you feel like you are having a real treat.

This is what happened when the Radio 1 Roadshow came to Cornwall in the 1990s
Thousands saw Chris Evans present everyone from Boyzone to Supergrass
Lee TrewhelaSenior Journalist
It's almost feels like a dream now but, yes, thousands of music fans descended on Newquay, St Ives and other Cornish towns to enjoy the phenomenon that was the Radio 1 Roadshow in the 1990s.
Star DJs such as Chris Evans – who was a massive media celebrity at the time – introduced the likes of Boyzone and Supergrass to adoring fans who would take part in silly games (who could forget Bits and Pieces?) while catching souvenirs thrown from the stage, while the whole shebang was broadcast to millions of listeners.
The Radio 1 Roadshows always had a special connection with Cornwall. The first ever event was staged on Newquay's Fistral Beach on July 23, 1973 when Tony "Smiley Miley" Miles – who invented the term roadshow – was joined by legendary DJ Alan "Fluff" Freeman.
Smiley told Cornwall Live: "The roadshow ran for nine weeks each summer and three weeks of that was spent in the south west – that's how important Cornwall and the region was to us. All the DJs wanted to do the Cornwall shows, from Bude and Newquay down to St Austell, St Ives and even Land's End."
Radio 1 Roadshows in Cornwall in the '90s
By the 1990s the roadshow had become a major part of British pop culture, attracting thousands of punters and the hottest acts to Cornish beaches.

Photographer Patrick Bishop attended four of the Radio 1 Roadshows in Newquay (August 21, 1995, and August 20, 1996) and St Ives (August 18, 1995 and August 19, 1996). You can see a selection of his pictures here and in the gallery above.
Patrick told us: "I was always impressed by the large crowds and atmosphere at the Cornish roadshows. The crowds at Newquay '96 took it to another level though. They were about twice what I had seen there before.

"Chris Evans was a huge draw. He was at the height of his popularity at the time. He was presenting Radio 1's flagship breakfast show and Channel 4's TFI Friday. There must have been thousands in the crowd that day. The glorious sunshine also added to the party atmosphere."
Patrick added: "I do remember Chris interviewing a young boy on stage. The kid was a bit uncomfortable. I think Chris put this down to stage fright. The boy then blurted out loudly into the microphone, 'you smell of beer!' Chris was a bit taken aback by this and speechless for a few seconds before retorting, embarrassed, 'there are worse things to smell of'."

Despite it raining at St Ives in 1996, Patrick remembers that both Heavy Stereo (featuring later Oasis guitarist Gem Archer) and Ocean Colour Scene were very good.

"At Newquay '95 I remember Ultimate Kaos causing a big stir when they arrived in a huge black limo. The crowd went wild for them. The lead singer Haydon Eshun is now starring in the West End production of Thriller about Michael Jackson."
Sex Pistol Johnny Rotten's manager has final say on 'Cornwall gig'
Patrick recalled: "I remember chatting to 4Mandu backstage where we brainstormed some photo op ideas. Newquay is very photogenic, especially in the sunshine. We decided to try and get some shots outside of the roadshow. Big mistake. We didn't take any security or minders and ended up getting mobbed by fans in the high street.
At St Ives '95, it was former Bros star Matt Goss who created the biggest buzz.

Patrick said: "He was very professional and friendly. I enjoyed chatting to him and got some good shots both on stage and backstage. Boyzone were also quite big at that time. Enjoyed chatting to them and getting some good shots."

This probably isnt one of the most important items on this list BUT, the light rail.
Im wondering if it would be really feasible to run a line all the way from say, Sycamore and Main in Mesa to Glendale?
I would want to consider taking mass transit to Coyote games..
im counting on them being here for the long term…At least I really hope they are and hope that it works out between the team and the city..but back to the light rail.
Im a season ticket holder for both the Coyotes AND the D-backs.
I take the light rail from Sycamore and Main to 3rd and Washington and back from 3rd and Jefferson to Sycamore and Main….40 times a year.
It's 16 stops and 38 minutes.
How long would it take to get to a Coyotes game, if you got on at Sycamore and Main and went to Glendale?
of course, I guess, I could drive to Scottsdale and get on…BUT..
I would like to see one DIRECT line put in that reaches these far out areas..
Maybe a direct line every 30 minutes or so….
Someday there will be mass transit between Mesa and Glendale. I fear I will be dead and you will be an old man by the time the Valley has it built.

Today, millions of people feel alienated from society. To feel alienated is to feel excluded and powerless. Right now, Christians are coming under increasing attack. We are told we live in a "post-Christian generation." Christians and Christian values are mocked as backward, stupid and harmful.
In the past, Christians have influenced society in dark days. In many ways, they have helped to reduce illiteracy, increase freedom, free slaves and addictions, helped children, increase scientific knowledge and invent new devices to improve life. Persecuted Christians held civilization together after the Roman Empire deteriorated and collapsed.
Prayer. Most people dismiss prayer as a psychological device, but serious, Spirit-led prayer is the creative power of God to accomplish humanly impossible things for God's kingdom and glory. Most people do not pray with power or seriousness. Even when we pray, we still act as if everything depends upon us. True prayers of faith move God to move mountains, including spiritually dull and rebellious cultures.
Truth. All truth is God's truth, never the devil's truth. All lies are the devil's lies. Writer Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn said, "One word of truth outweighs the whole world." The world needs more Christians who can effectively communicate Bible truth through words, art, literature, science and every other part of life. All truth vindicates the Bible, and the wise Christian who advocates the truth changes lives and society.
Example. We help others see the advantages of Christian values by the way we live, work, raise our families and help others. Our example should present a clear difference between Christian and world values. Jesus tells us that when people see our good deeds, "they will glorify your Father in heaven" (Matthew 5:16). A complaint of many people is that they see no difference between a professed Christian's life and that of anyone else's.
All major revivals, awakenings and evangelism explosions begin in dark days when people get on their knees and cry out to God. Our crises become God's opportunities to act in great and mighty ways. The most influential people in the world are those who are not paralyzed by the times but energized by them because they anticipate His victory and their part in helping to make it happen.

Interesting... my L810s, which I've owned since '78 -brand new, still have the woofer rubber surrounds... and still in great shape (knocking on walnut veneer)..
I know it's been a while but I had to create an account to reply. From '76 through '78 I owned a pair of L520s. Walnut wood veneer and cloth covers. The woofers used rubber surrounds, the tweeter the soft cloth type. Black matte in front, flat back in back, with two screw in posts for connections. They sounded almost like a prototypical "monitor" speaker. Not very deep bass extension but very FAST and accurate bass and a very clean midrange with good -and sweet- treble extension. We used to call that the "East Coast" sound vs. the "West Coast" sound of the JBL L100 Century (with a boomy deep end). I sold the pair to my friend when I upgraded to the L810s ( which I still own but seldom play ). Those added the midrange dome for more accuracy in the midrange, dual 8 inch woofers for much deeper bass, pretty much the same treble and overall much more power capacity. If the L520s went to 9.5, the L810 go to 11. Heck, I blew a midrange playing Eric Clapton with a 150 watt amp.... Figure how loud that must have been... But CLEAN... as all ADS speakers were. Quite a few of my friends heard my L520s and bought them. Some of my college friends lived in an old house with two pairs of L520s in the living room, one speaker per corner. It sounded awesome in a 14'x24' room. So, did you get your speakers fixed and setup? Make sure to drive them with an amp with good current drive (I recall they are 4 ohms... huh?) of sufficient quality. The old Harman Kardons and Kenwoods of the day drove them beautifully. As a vintage speaker, they lack the imaging of newer speakers and the treble is a bit rolled off due to the soft dome tweeter, but their deficiencies are of omission. Oh, btw, you wrote your wife was not happy with your LP purchase. I realize a year has past, but I would be more than willing to help you out with that problem. 😉 Oh, btwII, the rubber surrounds of the woofers in my L810s are still working fine. It's been.. hmmm.. 41 years now? I have no reason to believe the L520s would not last any less.

How Pastor Lambasted Sade Adu's Father's Corpse During Burial In Ekiti In 1985
FAMILY: Sade's mom, Anne, Banji (Sade's brother and elder sibling), dad Adebisi and Sade.
In many Nigerian societies, there is a norm that is observed with all seriousness: do not speak ill of the dead. In these communities, the dead is often seen as not really sacred in the sense of it, but as defenceless and already under judgment in another realm – the next world. However, in December 1985, a man decided to shred this societal norm into a thousand pieces. What was even more shocking was that the man was a pastor – member of the clergy that was believed to venerate, or at least, accord some respect, to the deceased – and he released his display in one of the most conservative corners of tropical Nigeria. Come with me on this journey back in time on how Pastor Lambasted Sade Adu's Father's Corpse During Burial
In the world of 1985, things were very much different from what it is now: there was no social media as we know it today, only the rich or well-to-do bought newspapers, Nigeria was ruled by crazy military despots, Ronald Reagan had just been sworn in as President of the United States for the second time, Nelson Mandela had rejected an offer of freedom from the South African government, Madonna had launched her first concert tour in New York, Steve Jobs had resigned from Apple, Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney, Ciara, Michael Phelps and Lewis Hamilton, the legendary British Formula One driver, were all born. But in this time, these were not the only stars. In fact, there was one superstar who was dominating everywhere and who was known all over the globe. Her name: Helen Folasade Adu. Her middle name, Folasade, means "honour confers your crown".
Just aged 26, Sade had conquered the world: her debut album, Diamond Life (containing the hit track, Smooth Operator)¸ which she had just released in 1984 after a record deal with Epic Records had sold over eight million copies, climbed to No 8 on the US chart in September 1985, smashing the records to become one of the top-selling debut recordings of the 1980s and the best-selling debut every by a British female vocalist. A legendary voice, Sade would later be named the most successful solo British female artist in history. But 1985 would come with its own tragedy for this queen of the songs.
THE ORIGINS AND THE DEATH OF SADE'S FATHER
Although Sade was born in Ibadan, Oyo State in 1959, her ancestral home is Ikere-Ekiti, in what is now Ekiti State, as there was no Ekiti State back then in 1985. Sade's father, the late Professor Adebisi Adu, was a Nigerian economics lecturer at the University of Lagos who had married an English district nurse, Anne Hayes, in 1955. The couple met in London while he was studying at the LSE and moved to Nigeria shortly after getting married, they would later on separate with Anne taking Sade and her sibling Banji to the United Kingdom where they stayed with their grandparents. He later rose to the position of the Acting Head of Department, Economics Department, University of Lagos.
The Adu family compound is located in Afao in Ikere-Ekiti with its patriarch (Sade's grandfather) being Josiah Alawemo Adu, a well-known chief in the area. He was known as Baba Egbe of African Church Cathedral in Afao, Ekiti because he was one of the strongest members of the church who combated followers of the African traditional religion who had vehemently opposed the construction of the church (natives worshipped the Olosunta Rock so when the Anglicans came, it was a real battle). He made sure that although his family was a large one being a polygamist, that his children were very well-educated. As a matter of fact, Sade's father was the first graduate of statistics in Nigeria and one of the very first graduates from Ekiti.
THE FUNERAL CEREMONY AND THE PASTOR'S DRAMA
Following the news of her father's death, a devastated Sade flew to Nigeria to honour her late parent. She was visibly taken over by grief and sorrow. The fateful day, a Saturday in December 1985, came and the venue of the funeral service was the St. John's African Church in Ikere-Ekiti. When the time came for the traditional religious sermon, the pastor stood up, grabbed the microphone and gallantly coughed into it. In the audience were Sade and other grieving members of the Adu family. What came out next from the pastor's mouth was more than a nuclear bomb. He thundered on and on leaving no room for mercy for the lifeless Adu lying in the casket laid out in front of the altar or pity for his sorrow-soaked relatives and loved ones inside the Gothic-looking ecclesiastic masterpiece.
Taken over by a scary mix of derision, anger and cold-heartedness, the pastor released all the venom in his mind. He blasted the dead man saying although he was the first graduate of Ikere-Ekiti, he never associated with the rustic town when he was alive. The church went into total and confused silence. Congregation members could not believe what they were hearing and some others felt they probably had ear infections that even the best doctors in London could not treat. But the 'man of God' was not done yet. He lashed out again saying people should be useful and do good deeds while they were still alive. His listeners were thrown into a state of shock and confusion but the pastor did not send anybody. He then delivered a punch so painful that many in the church could not take it any longer and started murmuring. The pastor asked the bewildered congregation: 'With all his education, can he now carry the whole of his certificates to the grave?''
By now, the tension inside the church was more than palpable. Apart from the kids and relatives of the deceased, others listening to the rambling of the pastor were colleagues of the man in the coffin and they came all the way to represent the university community and honour their fallen friend and their hero. Also, because Ikere-Ekiti was such a small community where everyone knew everyone, Professor Adu's loss was a communal one that called for group mourning so everyone from all corners of the hamlet was there to listen in shock to what the clergyman was reeling out for their hearing.
But the pastor was not alone; he had his supporters who were also natives of Ikere-Ekiti. Some of the parishioners said that although the pastor went too far in his condemnation of the dead, but that the late Adu too did not try that he could have done more for their community. One of the parishioners said that the late Professor Adu could not even paint the African Church where he was now being castigated in death. The parishioner, who did not want to be named, insisted that the late Adu had the money and resources to paint the church but he refused. He argued further saying if the late professor was able to marry three foreigners (the late Adu was married to a British, a Swiss and an African American) and who graduated from the university in the 1950s, he should at least have enough money to spoil his townspeople and carry out projects such as the painting of the church.
When the pastor had comfortably painted the dead man as the most evil creature before everyone throwing his family into even more grief, a gentleman rose, approached the pulpit and saved the day for the Adus. He was like a perfume detoxifying the atmosphere. He first played Mark Anthony to douse tension and erase the stinging impression left by the pastor and commenced his own speech. The gentleman said although it was true that the late Adu was the very first graduate from Ikere-Ekiti, it was sheer wickedness for anyone to say he did nothing for his hometown. The gentleman said the late Professor Adu was so in love with his town and his people that the hospital in the town could not have been possible without Adu's efforts. He also reminded everyone of the various contributions the late Adu made towards the development of his town while he was alive.
Overtaken by emotions, the congregation kept clapping and the applause echoed all over the community. Sade, the beautiful daughter of her dad, went to the pulpit and made attempts to also defend her late hero, her father. The first time, she tried to summon courage and speak out but she broke down in tears, the sobs made others ululate even more. The global music star and an idol to millions was reduced to tears in a village deep in the forests of tropical Africa. She made a second attempt to defend the soul of her father but she broke down again, the tears reflecting the sheer agony of her loss. The harder she tried, the more the tears came streaming down her famous face. Finally, she gave up – the shock was just too much for her.
After the service, some of the late professor's colleagues who spoke to reporters shed more light on the whole thing. According to Yinka Orimolade, also an economic lecturer at the University of Lagos, Adu's critics were talking from an angle of sheer ignorance. Orimolade said when Adu was retired in 1975 by the regime of military strongman Murtala Muhammed, Adu did not even have a house to retire into because he did not have a house. Orimolade further explained that even as a foundation member of the Department of Economics in UNILAG, there was no housing scheme in place that would have assisted Adu to construct his own house. He also said Adu was not into private practice like others so when the retirement came, he had no place to hide his head. Another colleague, F O Onipede, corroborated what Orimolade said saying it was him (Onipede was also retired alongside Adu) who offered Adu his boys'quarters in Isolo, Lagos to stay saying: 'That was where he stayed until he was able to move to Ibadan.' Orimolade continued saying: 'Even at Ibadan, it was obvious Adu was not making it. The man did not have the temperament to be in business. He was strict and could not tell lies.'
That day was one of the saddest in Sade Adu's life. Although she was then one of the most celebrated figures on earth, she was in no mood to either sing or talk about her career that day. Not even her mother by her side could crack her gloom. To worsen the whole case for her, the pastor went on and on to heap so much venom on her late father, someone she cherished greatly. Sade Adu would later depart Ikere-Ekiti with so much pain in her heart, never to return to Nigeria.
With time, Ikere-Ekiti began to feel some of the touches of modernity. A road construction project meant Professor Adu's corpse had to be exhumed and buried in a new site. His daughter remains a legend and has gained even more fame, won the Grammy, sold over 50 million albums to become the most successful solo female artist Britain has ever produced, amassing more power than she could have imagined that day 31 years ago but her father was not able to witness any of her earthshaking achievements.
So what are your thoughts? I leave you with my favourite of her works, King of Sorrow:

Penn Farm Podiatry is located at Penn Farm Studios, a collection of converted farm buildings between Haslingfield and Harston.
We are only six miles south west of Cambridge and it is an easy cycle with no hills. We are based within Penn Farm Physiotherapy, which is particularly helpful for patients requiring a multidisciplinary approach.
There is plenty of parking and the building and lavatory are wheelchair friendly.
Hannah Roberts (née Macleod) has over 15 years experience and enjoys a good local reputation, having worked in the area since 2004. She has a Bachelor of Podiatry from the University of South Australia.

She also has had a lot of experience in musculoskeletal problems and can help treat painful feet and legs, plantar fasciitis, neuromas and tendonopathies that may be associated with the way you walk and stand. Treatment may include stretches, exercises, footwear changes, steroid injections and orthotic devices.
Hannah understands the challenges of working with younger patients, having two small children of her own. She is happy to see children of any age - her youngest ever patient was just a few hours old!
Hannah is registered with the HCPC and is a member of the Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists as well as being a committee member of the Cambridgeshire branch.
Hannah is registered with several insurance companies including BUPA. Most insurance cash back schemes work with an HCPC registered Podiatrist but we suggest that you check first.
"Hannah recognised how nervous my daugher was straightaway and struck just the right note with her. She listened to her and addressed her concerns patiently and clearly, making her feel comfortable and in control. We were relieved by how easily the problem was dealt with and I can't recommend her highly enough. Great aftercare too!".

PD: Felony Lane Gang may be working Tri-State
MIAMI TWP., Ohio - You might not have heard of the Felony Lane Gang, but they may be coming to your neighborhood soon.
It's a nationwide criminal organization that breaks into cars to steal items and assume a person's identity.
They may have already struck in Clermont County's Miami Township. Police there need help to identify a photo they want to question about theft, passing bad checks and forgery (See the photo above). She's suspected of passing bad checks at a Huntington Bank Branch there.
"There were two checks that were cashed. They were in total for about $3,000," said Det. Dan Tobias.
What's worse is the checks and the driver's license used at the bank were stolen.
"Huntington Bank told me that the license of the female that was a customer at Huntington Bank -- that female lived in Beavercreek, Ohio."
Tobias quickly send the picture to Greater Cincinnati Police agencies, then got a call from a group called the Felony Lane Gang Task Force.
"They possibly believed that she had struck in another state and done the exact same thing in another state and wanted to know if they could post that information on their Facebook page," Tobias said.
That task force is investigating similar crimes all across the country. They say thieves case places like day care centers and health clubs. Then, when there's no one around, they break into cars, steal purses, wallets and checkbooks, and assume that victim's identity.
"They are complicated to investigate," Tobias said.
In case you're wondering, here's how the Felony Lane Gang got its name:
A person passing a bad check traditionally uses the drive-through lane as far away from the teller's window as possible to try to avoid detection. That's thew "felony lane."

Local Entrepreneur Plans Major Expansion in Western Colorado
Building Tech Company Låda Cube Returns HQ to Grand Junction, Plans Growth
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: GRAND JUNCTION, CO (April 5, 2021) – The Grand Junction Economic Partnership (GJEP) is pleased to welcome Låda Cube back to Grand Junction. The building tech company, which is widely considered at the forefront of a construction industry revolution, is expanding its footprint and planning to add anywhere from 80-160 people in the next year.
Låda Cube was founded by John Fay, who grew up in Colorado's Grand Valley, in 2013. The startup quickly earned national recognition and interest from global companies like Facebook, WeWork, Tesla, SideWalk Labs and Marriott for its demountable wall systems.
In 2018, the company earned a coveted spot in the Telluride Venture Accelerator. Shortly thereafter, however, John and his family moved to California, bringing the Låda Cube operations with them. A factory remained in Grand Junction and a second factory was opened in the Golden State. Combined, they employ anywhere from 5-15 employees.
The company received an Advanced Industries Accelerator Grant from the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade in 2019, which helped Låda Cube scale and expand operations within the state, making Colorado a natural target for further expansion. Yet, Låda Cube explored six different areas in Colorado (including Fort Collins, Castle Rock, Denver, Durango and Montrose), as well as Reno, Nevada, before committing to Grand Junction. Despite strong offers from other west slope communities, John says the urge to "return home" and give back to their native community ultimately drove his family and business back to Grand Junction. He is also excited to grow his business in a community he considers "on the verge of becoming a true tech hub."
With a headquarters firmly established in Western Colorado and some major contracts underway, Låda Cube will next look to expand its global footprint. The company plans to establish a manufacturing center in South Africa, which will allow it to expand into new markets, including Europe.
Låda Cube is currently on the hunt for a bigger facility in Grand Junction, where it will combine its current California and Colorado operations. California employees have been given the option to relocate and Låda Cube is working with GJEP to facilitate relocation.

The Peel District School Board has issued layoff notices to nearly 200 secondary school teachers in the wake of the provincial government's decision to increase some class sizes.
Education Minister Lisa Thompson announced last month that the average class size in Grades 9 through 12 will increase from 22 students to 28 students while average class sizes in Grades 4 through 8 will go from 23 students to 24 students.
At the time, Thompson said that "not one teacher will lose their job" as a result of the changes but in a statement provided to CP24 on Wednesday, the Peel District School Board confirmed that the layoff notices it has issued this spring are at least partly due to the change to class sizes.
So far, 176 elementary and 193 secondary teachers with the Peel District School Board have been informed that they will no longer have permanent positions after Aug. 31.
The Toronto District School Board has said that it also expects the changes to class sizes to ultimately result in a reduction of 216 elementary school positions and 800 secondary school positions.
Premier Doug Ford's office, meanwhile, has said that the changes to class sizes will result in the elimination of 3,475 teaching positions across the province, all through attrition. The savings from the elimination of those positions is expected to total $851 million over four years.
In legislature on Wednesday, both Ford and Thompson maintained that the numbers coming from Peel Region are derived from a "routine" surplus list that school boards "across Ontario" release each spring.
"This time of year is when school boards take a look at their roster," Thompson said.
School boards across the province have been in limbo while they wait on word from the province on how much money will be allocated for grants specific to student's needs.
In Toronto, many of the public school teachers on surplus lists are guidance counsellors and librarians.
Stiles said she doesn't believe the government's claim that any position losses will be a result of attrition, saying it's just a "fancy word" for saying those roles will not be filled once vacated.
"Which ultimately means that there are going to be cuts to classrooms," she said.
The premier also backed away from stern rhetoric about education changes on Wednesday.
One day earlier, Ford issued a warning to teachers about retaliating with a strike, calling it "nonsense" that would inconvenience parents and students.
Ford also threatened to change the current expiry date for upcoming contract negotiations, saying it was "amazing" that education sector collective bargaining agreements end just days before students return to classrooms.
The opposition accused Ford of picking a fight with educators – something he denied.
"We don't want to go to war," he said.
The negotiations are expected to begin on April 29.

BONELA Applauds Pardon of Malawian Gay Couple
The Botswana Network on Ethics, Law and HIV/AIDS (BONELA) would like to commend the release of a gay couple earlier sentenced to 14 years imprisonment through presidential pardon by the President of Malawi, Mr. Bingu wa Mutarika.
BONELA applauds the courage and responsiveness exhibited by Mr. wa Mutarika in pardoning the couple. As a human rights organization, BONELA is however concerned by the lack of acknowledgement of sexual minorities in African countries. The organization therefore calls for progressive leadership in this regard, as the perpetual stigma and discrimination of sexual minorities in Africa only serves to drive the pandemic underground, where most at risk populations cannot access prevention strategies.
Ms. Felistus Motimedi, the BONELA Coordinator of the Prevention and Research Initiative for Sexual Minorities said: "We would like to urge African countries, including Botswana to uphold the basic human rights to privacy, association, assembly, gender identity and non-discrimination, because failure to do so reverses the milestones achieved in the response to HIV and AIDS in Africa. BONELA hopes that Africa as a continent will heed the call by the United Nations Secretary General Mr. Ban Ki-moon to repeal all criminal laws often used as a basis for discrimination and criminalization of sexual minorities."
She added that in Botswana, the continued criminalization and discrimination of sexual minorities will not enable the country to reach the Vision 2016 goal of zero new infections if sexual minorities are not included in current strategies. "We therefore call for all sectors in the national HIV and AIDS response, to introspect on the current strategies deployed, and address gaps emanating there-from relating to most at risk populations. The inclusion of sexual minorities in policy and legal interventions will ultimately result in the recognition of their peculiar needs by health care providers who will in turn develop appropriate strategies. " said Ms Motimedi.
