Atiku: How I Will Tackle Poverty
Breaking | 2 months ago
The PDP presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar on Sunday at the Arise News Town Hall Series III explained how he would tackle poverty should he be elected president.
Speaking on how he will address poverty, Atiku said, . "When I assumed office as VP in 1999, I was placed in charge of LG allocations. I gave instructions that all LGA funds should be transferred directly to the LGAs. After 9 months the governments of the states protested and said it was illegal.
"We must look at the constitution and determine how to ensure that local government funds are directly allocated to the LGAs and applied in the best ways possible.
"The most important thing is education to get our kids educated. And not only educated but rightly educated. And then they can make themselves available to the private sector for growth—which is the engine room of the economy.
"When we were in power, the poverty rate was not this high. We implemented this NEEDS (National Economic Empowerment and Development Strategy) and SEEDS (State Economic Empowerment and Development Strategy) which significantly reduced poverty.
"I believe the program initiated by the PDP government, which brought down the poverty rate in Nigeria, should be sustained.

Home/Healthy Homes/20 Deadly Products Containing Asbestos: Are They Hiding in Your Home?
By Brian Turner | Once considered a "miracle mineral", the properties of asbestos that made it so desirable for use in construction and products are the same properties that turned it into a curse for many families. Asbestos exposure is the known cause of mesothelioma and other rare and deadly asbestos-related diseases. Despite being considered a rare cancer, the places where asbestos exposure can happen are surprisingly common and still exist.
With such a serious outcome from simply being in the presence of friable asbestos, it's important for individuals to learn about products that may be the link to these deadly diseases. In the exclusive images provided to the MCA, learn more about the common asbestos-containing products that may still be hidden in your home where asbestos can be found:
National Gypsum Gold Bond Asbestos Permaboard & Armstrong Accopac Asbestos Paper
Asbestos Paper and Boards
When putting up walls, siding, or roofing in commercial and residential buildings, asbestos can be found in all of those areas. Between asbestos paper used for backing and drywall to permaboard, like National Gypsum Gold Bond Asbestos Permaboard pictured to the left, these dangerous fibers could be found in almost every corner of a home. If venturing on some DIY projects on your home, like replacing drywall or a roof (especially on an older home), consider having your home tested by a professional asbestos abatement company.
Flintkote tiles & Armstrong Excelon Vinyl Asbestos floor tiles
Used in flooring and ceilings, tiles made from mineral fibers were known to contain asbestos. Those who installed asbestos-based tiles, like the Flintkote tiles pictured to the right that were produced between 1945 and 1980, were at the greatest risk of asbestos exposure. For stone tiles that aren't manufactured, some of the compound used to place tiles could have contained asbestos, so do your research about the age of your home and the possible presence of asbestos before replacing any tiles.
USG Durabond Joint Compound & USG Red Top Gypsum Plaster, manufactured with asbestos from the late 1920s to early 1950s.
Bondex All Purpose Joint Cement
When putting up drywall in a room, joint compound is the product used to create a seamless finish between the boards. Commonly called "mud," products like USG Durabond joint pictured to the left is applied in thin coats, sometimes multiple coats, and sanded for a smooth finish. Having asbestos within the compound would make it stronger and longer lasting. Plaster, filler and other putties had the same properties as well. During the building process, workers would be exposed during the mixing of the product if it came in dry form and while sanding it smooth. Today, exposure can happen when tearing down old drywall that was installed during the height of asbestos products usage.
Baldwin-Hill Insulating Cement & Philip Carey MW-50 Cement
Insulating Cements
Insulating cement was a versatile construction material used extensively in building projects. Insulating cement, like the Philip Carey MW-50 Cement pictured left, was filled with large amounts of asbestos to be used in places where heat was to be high and constant, like power plants and oil refineries for example, because asbestos is well known for it's fire resistant property.
Pipe Insulation and Gaskets
For pipes transferring liquids or gasses with extremely hot or cold temperatures, insulating the pipes to keep them in peak condition was necessary. Asbestos was added to pipe insulation for just that purpose. Along the same lines, pipes were fitted together with gaskets also needing to be able to withstand the same conditions. Gaskets used for pipe fitting, and in many other areas where gaskets were needed, asbestos could be found within their makeup. When these materials become old and brittle is when they pose a danger to anyone who comes in contact with them.
USG Perf-A-Tape Cement. Armstrong Accobest Gasketing Material, manufactured with asbestos in the mid-1960s. Flexitallic Blue Spiral Wound Gaskets, known for their distinct "Flexitallic Blue" color and made from 1912-1980.
Pittsburgh Corning Unibestos Insulation, manufactured with asbestos from 1962-1972. Garlock Compressed Asbestos Gasket sheet. Owens-Corning Kaylo Pipe Insulation, manufactured with asbestos from mid-1950s to the mid-1970s.
Babcock & Wilcox Company Stirling Boiler, manufactured with asbestos beginning in the 1940s and were used extensively aboard the ships of the US Navy and in numerous industrial plants.
Babcock & Wilcox Gauges were used in refineries, power plants and numerous manufacturing facilities.
Boilers and Mechanical Products
In the 1920's, companies like Babcock & Wilcox began producing best-in-class boilers with more efficient heating and safety properties. Asbestos, being well known for its heat and fire resistance, became a major product used in the construction of boilers and similar products to make it safer to have in homes. Firebricks were also another product within boilers and other places like chimneys that contained a lot of asbestos material to withstand the intense heat temperatures that they are exposed to.
Harbison-Walker Nucon 60 Firebricks, manufactured with asbestos from 1964 to 1980.
Federal Mogul Wagner Guardian Brake Shoes
One main part of vehicles that is exposed to extreme heat is the brakes of a vehicle. Because of the extreme friction needed to stop a vehicle and temperatures rising to over 2000 degrees Fahrenheit during the process, asbestos became a valuable product to be used in brake pads, shoes and linings. Auto mechanics were at the greatest risk for exposure because they dealt with brake repairs most frequently, but car enthusiasts from the peak of asbestos use and even car collectors today still face the risk of asbestos exposure.
Have you found these products in your home or garage? If you're uncertain about asbestos being in your home, it is safest to contact a professional asbestos abatement company to perform tests on your home and create a plan for safe removal instead of risking your health and the health of your loved ones. Join our community to learn more about the dangers of asbestos and spread awareness to your loved ones.

It's been three minutes since I booked a taxi ride on my smartphone; not quite enough time to get to the road outside my office in Rosebank. My taxi driver has already arrived and is calling to let me know.
I find a white Mercedes C-Class pulled up at the kerb. There is no taxi sign on the car, but I recognise it immediately: the app that I used to book the ride gave me a description of the car and a photo of the driver. A tall, slim man wearing a white-collared shirt and brown leather jacket offers me a generous toothy smile. I already know his name is Wonderful and he has a "user" rating of 4,5 stars.
Wonderful Ndou, 43, is a driving "associate" of Uber, the company that allowed me to book my taxi ride and pay for it. But Uber is not a taxi company. It's a firm that "seamlessly connects riders to drivers" through its smartphone applications.
The strategy has allowed Uber to expand at an incredible rate — since its founding in 2009, it now operates in more than 70 cities across the globe – with minimal administrative requirements and a fraction of the overhead costs of a regular taxi company. In some countries, it is capitalising on legal loopholes, provoking the wrath of its more established rivals.
According to the Guardian, it is facing or has faced bans, restrictions, court cases or protests in Brussels, Paris, Berlin, Houston, Portland, New Orleans, Seattle, Miami, New York, San Francisco, Chicago, Washington, DC, Vancouver and Toronto. Opponents argue it's a taxi company in all but name, and that it unfairly gets around the licence fees traditional taxi companies are obliged to pay.
Uber guarantees a high-end private driver experience by "partnering" with drivers who take on their own business risk. Uber drivers must provide their own vehicle — in South Africa you can expect a Mercedes C-Class, a BMW 3-Series or an Audi A4 — have a professional driver's permit, and partners pay for their own passenger liability insurance.
When the ride is complete, Uber debits your account and e-mails you an invoice, with a map of the route and how long it took. No physical cash is exchanged. You can then rate your driver; something to which Uber attributes its "predictably high" service standards. "With Uber, the rider can count on having a consistently safe and pleasant experience," says Le Roux.
Ndou says he likes this feedback. "For me, it's all about service," he says. He joined Uber seven months ago, soon after its August launch in the country. He had previously worked for a high-end shuttle company, mainly transporting VIPs. Ndou's car was owned, serviced and insured by the company. In exchange he paid monthly "dues" — a set fee — and then kept the money he made.
Uber charges its minimum R50 fee for the 1,5km trip we take. Because I spend another 40 minutes talking to the driver, the final cost comes to R82.
It's a short walk to the nearest taxi rank. I hop into a metered taxi to get back to the office. The driver asks for his name to be kept out of the newspaper. Like Ndou, he owns his own car — an aged red Toyota with poor ventilation.

Big farewell to giant platform
On Thursday the Johan Sverdrup drilling platform will leave Aibel's yard in Haugesund to be installed and linked up in the field. This marks the disappearance of the distinct landmark that has characterized the city since September last year.

Three years and three months after Prime Minister Erna Solberg graced the contract award in February 2015, Aibel's largest project ever is ready for departure from the company's yard in Haugesund. The entire project, from initial engineering to finished platform, has been important to Aibel in several ways.
"Being awarded the contract for the Johan Sverdrup drilling platform was a major vote of confidence from Equinor and came at a very convenient time for Aibel and the Norwegian supplier industry. Engineering and construction has ensured good and stable employment in several areas in the company, not least at the yard in Haugesund, and has acted as a cushion, but not a reprieve, at a time characterized by reduced activity and lay-offs. The project also proves that we have a competitive delivery model. For this reason, throughout the project we have continuously identified and implemented improvements in our way of working, so that we will remain competitive in the years ahead," says Aibel's CEO Mads Andersen.
The 147 metre tall and 22,000 ton drilling platform consists of three modules built at Aibel's yards in Haugesund and Thailand and at Nymo in Grimstad. After assembly of the three modules in Klosterfjorden in September last year, completion of the drilling platform has taken place at the yard in Haugesund.
A farewell from the whole city
The departure from the yard on Thursday will be marked with a ceremony for invited guests, representatives from the companies involved and the media, but this past weekend the city of Haugesund and the rest of Haugalandet were invited to a farewell party.
"The Johan Sverdrup drilling platform has been very visible in the cityscape. This is why we, in collaboration with Equinor, wanted to give the entire region a unique opportunity to come inside the yard's gates and take in the giant up close. It was a public celebration for young and old, and hopefully a day people won't forget very soon," the CEO says.
Slightly less than 6,000 people visited Aibel's yard on Saturday, of which almost 3,000 people were on board the Johan Sverdrup drilling platform. The farewell party was concluded with a star-studded concert in Haugesund, where performers such as Henny, Aria, Seeb and Madcon entertained almost 8,000 spectators.
New Sverdrup project coming up
In April, Aibel received proof that the company is still competitive and has performed well on the drilling platform project. Equinor awarded Aibel the contract for engineering, procurement and construction of the deck for the process platform (P2) for phase two in the Johan Sverdrup development. The contract is valued at approximately NOK 8 billion, and is one of the largest single contracts in the history of Norwegian oil and gas.
"This is the ultimate proof that we have the right expertise and the required competitive ability, and that the customer is satisfied. Throughout the entire drilling platform project we have collaborated closely with Equinor and experienced good support. We're looking forward to building on this in the next years with the P2 platform," Andersen says.
Aibel has already started the initial engineering activities in the P2 project, while start up for construction will be in the first quarter of 2019. The finished deck is to be delivered to Equinor in the first half of 2022.

ITV Increases Investment Stake In 'Harlots' Producer Monumental Television
UPDATE: Jury Selection Still Underway In 'Desperate Housewives' Trial
Freelance writer Dominic Patten is a Deadline contributor
UPDATE, TUESDAY 4:40 PM: A jury has still not been seated in the case, and selection will resume tomorrow at 1:30 PM once the potential juror panel has been replenished. Once selection is completed — hopefully by late in the afternoon — opening statements will begin. However, with Judge Elizabeth Allen White being strict about ending proceedings at 4:15 PM, it is unlikely opening statements will get far. Sheridan and Cherry were present in court all day Tuesday.
PREVIOUS, MONDAY PM: Desperate Housewives may be in its final season, but the real-life war on Wisteria Lane is just getting underway between actress Nicollette Sheridan and series creator/executive producer Marc Cherry, ABC Studios (formerly Touchstone TV) and ABC. Sheridan, who played the villainous Edie Britt for the series' first five seasons, is suing Cherry and the network for wrongful termination and battery. The case, which began jury selection today and is expected to last 12 days (UPDATE: The judge said this afternoon she expects the trial to conclude no later than March 12), features a juicy witness list that includes past and present ABC and ABC Studios executives like former ABC Entertainment president Stephen McPherson, former ABC Studios president and current CW president Mark Pedowitz, ABC Studios' head of business affairs Howard Davine, Desperate Housewives executive producer/showrunner Bob Daily as well as other current and former writer-producers on the show including Alexandra Cunningham, David Flebotte and Lari Kirkland Baker. Also called in are most of Sheridan's former co-stars on the show — Eva Longoria, Felicity Huffman, Marcia Cross, James Denton, and Sheridon's former love interest Neal McDonough — but surprisingly no Teri Hatcher. But present on the list is former Law & Order: SVU showrunner Neal Baer. That's in addition to the two principal parties Sheridan and Cherry, who are expected to take the stand for eight hours each. Sheridan likely will be one of the first witnesses called when jury selection and opening statements conclude.
After a short morning appearance today by Sheridan and Cherry in LA Superior Court, the trial was given over to jury selection. That group will get a crash course in behind-the-scenes network TV: With Sheridan's claims of sexual harassment and compensation for the show's entire run already rejected by Judge Elizabeth Allen White, the case now revolves around the sequence of events and decisions in late 2008 that led to the end of Sheridan's tenure on the hit series. If she wins, the court has said she will be entitled to about $4.2 million, her annual salary.
Sheridan's contention is that her character was killed off and she was let go from the show in February 2009 because she complained to ABC execs that Cherry hit her during a September 24, 2008 argument. Cherry, who has admitted he did lightly strike Sheridan on the head during the confrontation, claims the incident had nothing to do with Sheridan leaving the show. Cherry said he decided in May 2008 to cut Sheridan loose and had received approval from ABC and series producer Touchstone. In his deposition, Cherry called it a "cost-cutting measure." Producer Lori Kirkland Baker, who worked on the show at that time, has a different understanding of events. In her deposition, she said Cherry began talking about problems he was having with Sheridan and killing off her character in late September 2008. In December of that year, Cherry — whose alleged abusive actions toward other cast and crew was declared by the judge a no-go zone for Sheridan's lawyers in the trial — supposedly told the show's writers that he planned to kill off Sheridan's character at the end of Season 5. But he decided with network support to kill off the character and drop Sheridan much earlier.
Sheridan is represented by Mark Baute, Patrick Maloney, and Sean Andrade of downtown law firm Baute, Crochetiere & Maloney. Cherry, Touchstone and ABC are defended by Adam Levin and Aaron Wais of Westside lawyers Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp.

Old, Bulletproof BMW Helped Save Dozens of Lives in ISIS Attack
More than 70 people were led to safety
BMW 7-Series Sedan News
by Words: Kelly Pleskot November 08, 2016
It might not be your first choice of vehicle for fleeing ISIS militants, but this '90s-era BMW helped save dozens of lives in an attack last month in Iraq.
It all started when Ako Abdulrahman, a Kurdish Peshmerga fighter, decided he wanted some protection from ISIS militants that were surrounding the city of Kirkuk, near where he and his family live. So he bought an early-'90s bulletproof BMW 7 Series at an auction for $10,000.
"My friends were very happy when I bought the armored car," he told CNN. "We started driving in it to the front line near Kirkuk, not worried about ISIS drive-by shootings or roadside bombs."
The BMW became a lifesaver, literally, on October 21 when ISIS carried out a series of attacks. Abdulrahman drove the bulletproof BMW right through the line of fire to save those who were injured, returning multiple times to collect more people. He ended up transporting more than 70 wounded people away from danger, he says, also carrying those who had died during the shootings.

"I kept telling myself, my people are in danger, they need me, my city is in danger, I have to protect it," the Kurdish fighter told CNN. Abdulrahman said his BMW endured more than 50 bullets. In total, more than 100 civilians and security personnel were injured during the attack, and 64 died, reports CNN.
The city of Kirkuk later recognized the soldier's bravery during a meeting with the governor at the governor's office. But when BMW wanted to give him a new car, he turned down the offer. Instead, he decided to repair his own car so he could keep driving it.

The good positioning of curricula and the appropriate relationship in the global and the individual goals in any field or area of any science or art, their precision, but also openness and flexibility, provide good results. The positioning of a curriculum is important in every segment because it directly affects its success.
In this regard, the subject 'Mother Tongue' has its own specificity that requires a special approach in each country, that is, each national curriculum, since it treats the study of a language which is usually the language of instruction of the entire teaching (instruction in all subjects).
Hence, a need arises to compare the existing trends or, if you prefer, examples according to which we create systems and policies, and which we consider successful experiences. In our comparative review, we focused on the representation of the subject 'Mother Tongue' on a weekly and yearly basis, as well as the representation in relation to other subjects in: Macedonia, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia and Bulgaria. Hereby, we aim to determine the importance of language competences in preschool and early school-age children, through treatment and representation in the teaching-educational process in our country and the countries of our immediate and more distant surrounding. The moment of adaptation in accordance with the conditions is the second vital moment in planning.

How the Creighton Model FertilityCare System is used to help women with irregular bleeding by looking for the underlying cause and working cooperatively and naturally with a woman's body to get cycles functioning properly again.
With the CrMS our focus is on the entire health of a woman and working cooperatively with her fertility cycle. NaProTECHNOLOGY® looks for the underlying pathophysiologic events that allow for a rational approach to medical treatment. This approach is used in most other medical specialties but is absent from reproductive medicine. Irregular or unusual bleeding may have a hormonal cause or may indicate an infection of the uterus, an endometrial polyp, or even cancer. Without a proper diagnosis and treatment for gynecological issues, a woman's entire health is put in jeopardy.

Great Pneumonia Relief Herbal Tea is quite effective for several lung disorders including pneumonia.
Pneumonia is a bacterial infection which occurs in the chest. Usually healthy individuals do not get infected with pneumonia.
People who have a lowered immune status or are infected with other possible infectious agents can be infected with pneumonia.
It is characterised by intense coughing, wheezing in the lungs and severe mucous build up in the thorax. This herbal remedy is quite effective for several lung disorders including pneumonia.
Its components are antimicrobial in nature so it will kill the existing bacteria in the respiratory tract as well. It is said that people with asthmatic episodes are more at a risk of contracting pneumonia so this herb remedy also relieves asthmatic symptoms.
* Wash hands thoroughly before eating and after going to bathroom.
* Exercise regularly by going for brisk walk to increase lung capacity.
* Stop smoking because tobacco damages the lungs.
* Drink more water to thin mucus and help to cough it up.
* Eat a healthy diet that contains plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables.

Q: How do disk IO operations typically look in kernel-level assembly? In userland, performing disk IO is as easy as linking against a C library or, if you're adventurous, performing a system call directly. I'm wondering how the kernel itself performs IO.
In other words, suppose I were hypothetically running an application on bare metal in a privileged mode. How would I access disk hardware connected via, say, a SATA connection? Do I perform a load from a pre-determined address? Is there some sort of io-related instruction?

A: Linux has a function call tracer. I suggest you trace an IO request.
Warning: The following was written by me without actually knowing the true details.
Basically, you need to use the PCI API to talk to the disk device to set up Direct Memory Access because you don't want to read disk blocks (or ethernet frames) one byte at a time. So you tell the hardware that some area of memory (beginning with address X and of length N bytes) is the DMA area. You also setup memory caching to know that the data in that area of RAM can change without the CPU writing into it, so even if you're a uniprocessor it's volatile.
Suppose the hardware supports only a single DMA transaction at a time. Then you transmit commands like "read the 512-byte sector number X (i.e. bytes X<<9 through ((X+1)<<9)-1 of the disk) and put it into the DMA area. When you're done, fire an interrupt". The disk controller does its thing (it has an ARM CPU and everything), talks across PCI to the north bridge hub and through it to RAM, bypassing the CPU. When the write is complete (or errors out), an interrupt fires. While this happens, you wait (well, the kernel runs other processes while your process sleeps). Millions of CPU cycles later (10ms is an eternity for a 2Ghz chip), an interrupt fires. The OS is notified that the read was completed. The OS can see the data in RAM. Then it either copies it into user process memory or it is in a shared page and the user process can read it from there. The user process is resumed (well, put on the ready to run queue and eventually runs when the scheduler feels like it).
Writes work by copying data into the DMA space and transmitting the "write the data from the DMA area to sector number X on disk and fire an interrupt when done" command. Then the disk may fire the interrupt when it finished writing or as soon as it has read the data from RAM, in which case fsync doesn't really work and your database and filesystem are corrupted by power failures.
The OS block cache works on whole 4KB ram pages, so it reads 8 sectors at a time, but the idea is the same. New disks have a native API that works with 4KB sectors, but the idea is the same. USB is different from PCI, but the idea is the same. Various high performance hardware have clever APIs for speeding all this up, have multiple transactions in flight at the same time and various controls over their ordering.
Network interfaces that offload TCP/IP probably have an API around packets instead of ethernet frames, because the NIC understands the TCP/IP header.
Block devices that are really network devices hide the translation somewhere (part in hardware, part in firmware, part in software).
In Linux, for my hardware, I think it goes like this:
When module sata_piix is loaded, it tells the OS the PCI device IDs of devices it supports and callsbacks the OS should use, all described in a struct. Generic OS PCI topology code discovers a device with ID 8086:27c0, an ICH7 and finds it in the driver's table so the OS decides this is the right driver for this hardware. In that table the driver will find out it should treat this device as an ICH6 SATA device, later. Since the driver says it supports the device, the OS registers the device with the driver.
From there the control regions of the device are allocated and prepared. DMA is set up. PCI Bus Mastering is enabled (this allows the controller to initiate PCI data transfers to RAM on its own (when it has data ready) instead of waiting for the CPU to initiate the transfer). Interrupt handlers are set up.
The code is generic and supports many generations of hardware, in chronological order:

*

*PIO

*Single/Multi-word DMA

*UDMA

*SATA

*AHCI
So it's difficult to read. Tracing would make it much easier.

A: This depends on a lot of things. I don't know much about ARM but I would imagine that there is some sort of outportb instruction that allows you to send data over the bus. Communicating with an I/O device is vendor specific but usually a kernel might memory map (in the case of GPU framebuffers) the registers of the device or simply send requests over the bus which the I/O device can recognize (usually device specific). And requests are usually just serialized structure information containing start sector, length, and an address where to tell the bus I/O to transfer to.
If you want to do such things in the kernel (Linux for example) there are already functions for creating I/O structures and submitting them to a particular device so you don't need to do it yourself. If you're writing your own OS I would recommend taking a look at the Linux source code which has examples of how to do this at the assembly level for many architectures.

Follow the Girl è un film muto del 1917 diretto da Louis Chaudet. Prodotto dalla Butterfly Photoplays e sceneggiato da Fred Myton, aveva come interpreti Ruth Stonehouse, Jack Dill, Roy Stewart, Mattie Witting, Claire Du Brey, Alfred Allen, Harry Dunkinson.

Trama
Hilda, una giovane svedese, parte come emigrante per gli Stati Uniti. Sulla nave, Donna, una spia, cuce nell'orlo della gonna di Hilda dei documenti segreti, informando della cosa Felix Martinez, che dovrà intercettare la ragazza dopo che sarà entrata nel paese. Hilda, insieme a Olaf, un altro emigrante, elude Martinez, anche se ignara di essere oggetto di quella ricerca. I due giovani partono per il West ma, a una stazione, perdono il treno e Larry O'Keefe, un allevatore di bestiame, li prende sotto la sua protezione. Martinez, rintracciata la ragazza, predispone un piano per rapirla ma scopre che lei non possiede più le carte, che ha consegnato a O'Keefe. Hilda, dopo essere riuscita a fuggire ai suoi rapitori, incontra O'Keefe venuto a cercarla. Al ranch, intanto, giunge anche Donna che però è stata seguita da alcuni agenti del governo che arrestano lei e Martinez. Recuperati i documenti segreti, Hida viene elogiata per il servizio che ha fatto al paese che ora, dopo il suo matrimonio con O'Keefe, diventa a tutti gli effetti anche il suo.

Produzione
Il film fu prodotto dall'Universal Film Manufacturing Company (come Butterfly Photoplays).

Distribuzione
Il copyright del film, richiesto dalla Universal Film Mfg. Co., fu registrato il 26 luglio 1917 con il numero LP11138.

Distribuito dall'Universal Film Manufacturing Company, il film uscì nelle sale cinematografiche statunitensi il 26 luglio 1917.

Non si conoscono copie ancora esistenti della pellicola che viene considerata presumibilmente perduta.
