Jaafar Jaafar is a graduate of Mass Communication from Bayero University, Kano. He was a reporter at Daily Trust, an assistant editor at Premium Times and now the editor-in-chief of Daily Nigerian.
Dino Melaye has explained how he escaped an alleged assassination attempt by suspected policemen around Gwagwalada, FCT, Abuja on his way to attend a court case in Lokoja last Thursday.
Mr Melaye (PDP, Kogi) told reporters in Abuja yesterday that he had to run into the bush for his dear life and climbed a tree on which he spent hours.
He said he left Abuja early in the morning on Thursday for Lokoja but realized that a Siena car was trailing him only for the occupants to overtake, block and started shooting at his vehicle.

Mr Melaye, who joined the PDP last Tuesday, said when the suspected assassins realized that his vehicle was bulletproof, they halted his movement and attempted to burn it.
"When I realized that they wanted to burn my vehicle, I quickly opened the car and ran into the bush. I had to run for my life. It was the grace of God that made me to escape.
"When I got into the bush, I climbed a tree and stayed there. While on the tree, I saw two of the policemen coming to look for me but they didn't know I was on the tree. I was in the bush for 11 hours.
"My brother that was in one of the vehicles didn't know what happened, so he had to raise an alarm that I was kidnapped.
"He went to the Gwagwalada police station and reported the matter. At first, they wanted to act but when one of them made a call, they started turning to my brother," he said.
"They then asked him to go and wait for them at the scene, that they would join him. He waited for more than 45 minutes but they didn't come.
"So, it's not true for the police to say that none of my family members reported the matter," Melaye said.

Reports: George Paton to become GM of Broncos
George Paton agreed to terms on a six-year deal to become the general manager of the Denver Broncos, multiple media outlets reported on Wednesday.
Paton reportedly will take over the post formerly held by Pro Football Hall of Famer John Elway, who remains the team's president of football operations.
The Broncos, however, have yet to formally make an announcement as of early Wednesday afternoon.
Paton has spent 14 years with the Minnesota Vikings, including as assistant general manager under Rick Spielman.
Paton will attempt to shake up the Broncos, who limped to a 5-11 record this past season. They have yet to return to the playoffs since posting a 24-10 win over the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl 50.

Educators have long argued about the best ways for Deaf children to communicate and how they should be educated. The two notions are inseparable for Deaf students who most often
learn language at school. Since the passing of IDEA, most Deaf students have moved from segregated schools to their neighborhood schools where all students might benefit from learning and socializing together—the foundations of inclusion. Might inclusion for Deaf students with multiple disabilities mean something different? In this ethnography, the authors examined the experiences of six families that had school-aged children who were Deaf-Plus and used signed language to communicate. Research questions included: 1) What were the experiences of parents navigating communication and education for their children and 2) What did inclusion mean for their children? Data collection included: Semi-structured interviews, participant observations, and focus groups. The team developed three themes: 1) External Influences on Parent's Decision-Making Regarding Language and Communication, 2) Language and Communication Varies Among Deaf-Plus Children and Their Family Members, and 3) Struggling to Determine and Secure an Inclusive and Productive Learning Environment for Their Deaf-Plus Children. It behooves educators to consider how students' individual characteristics might benefit learning and create improved inclusive experiences.

The history of gold trading can be traced back hundreds of years while bitcoin, a digital currency that uses encryption and works independently of central banks, has been around for less than ten.
But the cryptocurrency is now starting to challenge gold as the investment of choice. Its meteoric rise is such that on March 3 2017, bitcoin overtook gold for the first time, trading at US$1,290 compared to US$1,228 for an ounce of gold.
All the gold that has ever been mined would easily fit under the legs of the Eiffel Tower – in fact, multiple times. Gold's scarcity is one reason for its value. Another reason is that it's a very nonreactive metal so it doesn't tarnish, which is important if you've invested millions and don't want it to slowly deteriorate.
Most governments keep some of their funds in gold (as the video below explains). But although gold is seen as a safe haven in times of crisis, it is still subject to the usual market fluctuations of any commodity. Once the bitcoin reaches its full potential (all bitcoins are mined) the value will be much more stable.
How much gold is there and why is it a good investment?
Bitcoin is a virtual currency used for electronic purchases and transfers. It has recently been gaining popularity and a growing number of businesses, including WordPress, Overstock.com, and Reddit, now accept it as a form of payment. Microsoft already accepts bitcoin payments through its Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile platforms, while those shopping online at Shopify may use bitcoin as payment.
Bitcoin is also moving outside the virtual space; what may be the world's first bitcoin store, House of Nakamoto, opened early this year in Vienna. There, people can buy bitcoins for euros, and vice versa, from a dedicated bitcoin ATM. Drinkers in Cambridge can pay for beers at a pub called The Haymakers.
The number of bitcoins is capped at 21 million. As of March 2017, there were almost 16.2 million circulating. The supply of coins grows steadily because of the way bitcoin is programmed. Each "miner" ("mining" is lingo for the discovery of new bitcoins – anyone with computer knowledge and access to blockchain software can act as a miner) introduces new coins to the supply at a rate of around 12.5 coins every ten minutes.
Mining is the process of adding transaction records to bitcoin's public ledger of past transactions (blockchain). The blockchain confirms transactions as having taken place to the rest of the network.
Even as far back as 2013, bitcoin was worth almost as much as gold. And, at the end of 2016, the total value of bitcoins in circulation was US$14bn.
A good investment opportunity?
Investment in digital currencies, such as bitcoin, has emerged as an alternative to traditional forms of money and created a niche that's driving major innovations in the financial sector, such as peer-to-peer lending, and digital wallets. As traders gain confidence in alternative forms of money and payment mechanisms, bitcoin is seen as a possible investment alternative.
In fact, bitcoin exhibits similar features to gold – limited global supply, maintaining value and hedging against global market volatility. Such is the exuberance in bitcoin investment that it actually outperforms the precious metal, generating an annual return of 155% compared to gold's annual loss of 6% during the same time period.
Even though Bitcoin seems a profitable investment tool, its value can be as volatile as the value of the gold, depending on the perceived risk of owning bitcoin as a commodity. Bitcoins are encrypted for security purposes, but while the coding identifies the currency itself, it does not identify its owner. If someone hacks the miner system and gets a secret bitcoin code they will eventually become the rightful owner.

What, then, is pushing the investment value of bitcoin? One driver is increasing demand from developing countries, especially Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. These countries are experiencing economic distress and weakening currencies, making their local currencies unpredictable and volatile. As a result, it's becoming increasingly popular to use bitcoin as a natural hedge against paper currency.
Another contributing factor to the rise of bitcoin is the possibility of a trade war between US and China. US President Donald Trump has indicated that he may impose 45% tariff on Chinese imports. This may lead to a weakening yuan, and capital outflow from China as investors will resort to more stable currencies such as euros.
The hike in bitcoin's price during financial troubles is also a testament to its increasing attraction as a hedging tool.
When Cyprus's economy crashed in 2013, the price of bitcoins spiked as people resorted to other forms of payment than the national currency. In 2015, when the Chinese currency was in free fall, people in the country turned to bitcoin alongside gold.
And after the Brexit vote in the UK, when global currencies and stock markets tanked, bitcoin's value rose more than US$100 compared to the previous day. This was mainly due to some of the speculative money flowing out of the pound and yuan making its way to bitcoin.
Increased government support
Bitcoin is not just getting increased interest from tech-savvy individuals and banks such as Barclays, BBVA, Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Credit Suisse, JP Morgan, State Street, Royal Bank of Scotland and UBS. Governments are also lending support to the cryptocurrency.
The Australian government plans to reduce tax on bitcoin transactions. Current treatment of the digital currency under the goods and services tax (GST) law means that consumers are "double taxed" when using it to buy anything already subject to GST. The government plans to change this.
Meanwhile, the UK's chief scientific adviser has said that governments should use bitcoin's underlying technology – blockchains – to help with taxes, benefits and passports.
Taking its cue from bitcoin, the US government is planning to launch a legalised cryptocurency called Fedcoin, which can be exchanged for a physical dollar. Bitcoin is not considered legal tender because it is not backed by any government.
Bitcoin pricing is also motivating the much anticipated establishment of the first bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) in the United States. An ETF is an investment company that has no restrictions on the amount of shares it can issue.
Central banks might launch cryptocurrencies alongside national currencies. Sergio Moraes/Reuters
The approval of a bitcoin ETF would make the cryptocurrency more attractive to risk-averse institutional investors as it would allow an easier way to gain access to bitcoin than buying it directly.
Such is the dominance of bitcoin that the Bank of England issued a white paper on the subject, investigating the possibility of central banks minting their own cryptocurrencies.
Bitcoin's appeal, compared to gold, comes from two factors. First, it can be used as a easy medium for payments (for a limited but growing number of transactions), which gold cannot replicate. And with their limited supply of 21 million, bitcoins are likely to attract higher demand compared to gold.
The debate over the supremacy of gold versus bitcoin will continue. What we can say with certainty is that we cannot use gold to buy bitcoin directly but bitcoin can be used to buy gold. You can decide which you prefer.

PRE-SCREEN TESTS:
- Compound solubility: The vehicle was selected on the basis of maximizing the solubility using the test item data provided by the Sponsor and trial preparation results performed at WIL Research Europe. There was no information available regarding the
solubility or stability in vehicle.
- Irritation: Once daily on Days 1-6 (on Days 1-3 within 1 hour after dosing) according to the following numerical scoring system. In addition, a description of all other (local) effects was recorded.
-Systemic toxicity: A pre-screen test was conducted in order to select the highest test item concentration to be used in the main study. In principle, this highest concentration should cause no systemic toxicity, may give well-defined irritation as the most pronounced response (maximum grade 2) and/or an increase in ear thickness < 25%) and/or is the highest possible concentration that can technically be applied.
- Ear thickness measurements: 50% and 100% w/w test concentrations; measurements made on Day 1 (pre-dose value), Day 3, and Day 6.
- Erythema scores: See Table 1.
MAIN STUDY
ANIMAL ASSIGNMENT AND TREATMENT
- Name of test method: Main study - local lymph node assay (LLNA)
- Criteria used to consider a positive response: DPM values are presented for each animal and for each dose group. A Stimulation Index (SI) is calculated for each groupusing the individual SI values. The individual SI is the ratio of the DPM/animal compared to the DPM/vehicle control group mean. If the results indicate a SI ≥ 3, the test item may be regarded as a skin sensitizer (see Table 2.)
TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION:
Three groups of five animals were treated with one test itemconcentration per group. The highest test itemconcentration was selected from the pre-screen test. One group of five animals was treated with the vehicle.
Induction - Days 1, 2 and 3:
The dorsal surface of both ears was topically treated (25 μL/ear) with the test material, at approximately the same time on each day. The concentrations were stirred with a magnetic stirrer immediately prior to dosing. The control animals were treated in the same way as the experimental animals, except that the vehicle was administered instead of the test material.
Excision of the Nodes - Day 6:
Each animal was injected via the tail vein with 0.25 mL of sterile phosphate buffered saline (PBS) (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) containing 20 μCi of 3H-methyl thymidine (PerkinElmer Life and Analytical Sciences, Boston, MA, US). After five hours, all animals were killed by intraperitoneal injection (0.2 mL/animal) of Euthasol® 20% (AST Farma BV, Oudewater, The Netherlands). The draining (auricular) lymph node of each ear was excised. The relative size of the nodes (as compared to normal) was estimated by visual examination and abnormalities of the nodes and surrounding area were recorded. The nodes were pooled for each animal in approximately 3 mL PBS.
Tissue Processing for Radioactivity - Day 6:
Following excision of the nodes, a single cell suspension of lymph node cells (LNC) was prepared in PBS by gentle separation through stainless steel gauze (diameter: 125 μm). LNC were washed twice with an excess of PBS by centrifugation at 200g for 10 minutes at 4ºC. To precipitate the DNA, the LNC were exposed to 5% trichloroacetic acid (TCA) (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) and then stored in the refrigerator until the next day.
Radioactivity Measurements - Day 7:
Precipitates were recovered by centrifugation, resuspended in 1 mL TCA and transferred to 10 mL of Ultima Gold cocktail (PerkinElmer Life and Analytical Sciences, Boston, MA, US) as the scintillation fluid. Radioactivity measurements were performed using a Packard scintillation counter (2800TR). Counting time was to a statistical precision of ± 0.2% or a maximum of 5 minutes whichever came first. The scintillation counter was programmed to automatically subtract background and convert Counts Per Minute (CPM) to Disintegrations Per Minute (DPM).
Mortality/Viability: Twice daily.
Body weights: On Day 1 (pre-dose) and Day 6 (prior to necropsy).
Clinical signs: Once daily on Days 1-6 (on Days 1-3 between 3 and 4 hours after dosing).
Irritation: Once daily on Days 1-6 (on Days 1-3 within 1 hour after dosing) according to the numerical scoring system orovided in Table 1. In addition, a description of all other (local) effects was recorded.
Positive control substance(s):
hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (CAS No 101-86-0)
Positive control results:
A reliability check is carried out at regular intervals to check the sensitivity of the test system and the reliability of the experimental techniques as used by WIL Research Europe. In this study, performed in May 2016, females of the CBA/J mouse strain (Janvier, Le Genest-SaintIsle, France) were checked for sensitivity to Alpha- Hexylcinnamaldehyde, technical grade (HCA). The females were approx. 10 weeks old at commencement of the study. Alpha- Hexylcinnamaldehyde, technical grade (CAS no. 101-86-0) was fabricated under lot no. MKBT2800V (Sigma- Aldrich, Steinheim, Germany). Concentrations used for this study were 5, 10 and 25% in Acetone/Olive oil (4:1 v/v; AcOO).
The SI values calculated for the item concentrations 5, 10 and 25% were 1.4, 1.5 and 4.3 respectively. An EC3 value of 18.0% was calculated using linear interpolation.
The calculated EC3 value was found to be in the acceptable range of 4.8 and 19.5%. The results of the 6 monthly HCA reliability checks of the recent years were 16.5, 14.5, 13.4, 14.1, 17.3 and 9.8%.

GHS Criteria
Since there was no indication that the test material elicited a SI ≥ 3 when tested up to 100%, it was not considered to be a skin sensitizer.
Based on the results observed in the mouse local lymph node assay, 1,1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6-tridecafluorohexane(AsahiklinTM AC-2000) would not be regarded as a skin sensitizer according to the recommendations made in the test guidelines. The test material does not have to be classified and has no obligatory labelling requirement for sensitization by skin contact according to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) of the United Nations (2015) (including all amendments) and the Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of items and mixtures (including all amendments).
In a key in vivo guideline (OECD 429) study, the skin sensitisation potential of the test material (1,1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6-tridecafluorohexane; AsahiklinTM AC-2000) was evaluated in a Mouse Local Lymph Node Assay (LLNA).
Test material concentrations selected for the study were based on the results of a pre-screen test. In this LLNA study, three experimental groups of five female CBA/J mice were treated with the test material at concentrations of 25, 50 or 100% w/w on three consecutive days, by open application on the ears. Five vehicle control animals were similarly treated, but with the vehicle alone (N,N-Dimethyl formamide).Three days post the last exposure, all animals were injected with 3H-methyl thymidine and after five hours the draining (auricular) lymph nodes were excised and pooled for each animal.
After precipitating the DNA of the lymph node cells, radioactivity measurements were performed. The activity was expressed as the number of disintegrations per minute (DPM) and a stimulation index (SI) was subsequently calculated for each group.
No irritation was observed in any of the animals. All auricular lymph nodes of the control animals and animals treated with test material at concentrations of 25% and 50% were considered normal in size. The nodes of the animals treated with 100% test material were considered to be enlarged. No macroscopic abnormalities of the surrounding area were noted for any of the animals.
Mean DPM/animal values for the experimental groups treated with the test material at concentrations of 25, 50 and 100% were 545, 720, and 1064 DPM, respectively. The mean DPM/animal value for the vehicle control group was 691 DPM. The SI values calculated for the test material at concentrations of 25, 50 and 100% were 0.8, 1.0, and 1.5, respectively.
The six-month reliability check with Alpha-hexylcinnamaldehyde indicates that the Local Lymph Node Assay as performed is an appropriate model for testing for contact hypersensitivity.
Based on these results,1,1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6-tridecafluorohexane(AsahiklinTM AC-2000) would not be regarded as a skin sensitizer according to the recommendations made in the test guidelines. The test material does not have to be classified and has no obligatory labelling requirement for sensitization by skin contact according to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) of the United Nations (2015) (including all amendments) and the Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of items and mixtures (including all amendments).
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
In a key in vivo Guideline (OECD 429) study (WIL Research Europe B.V., 2016c), the skin sensitisation potential of the test material (1,1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6-tridecafluorohexane) was evaluated in a Mouse Local Lymph Node Assay (LLNA).
Not classified for skin sensitisation according to EU Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures (CLP) Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 or UN Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS).

Beth Holt joined Derbyshire Law Centre as a Justice First Fellow and trainee solicitor on 8th January 2018. Beth is originally from Sheffield. She completed her law degree at the University of the West of England in 2013 and the Legal Practice Course in June 2015 at the University of Sheffield. She completed an MA in Legal Practice in June 2016. Her dissertation explored the characteristics of unbundled legal services, including the risks, the benefits and the difficulties. The aim of the dissertation was to determine whether those working in private practice endorsed or opposed unbundled legal services as a step in the right direction for greater access to justice. Subsequently, she considered the role third sector organisations have in the equation to potentially create a more affordable way for clients to access legal services due to the reduced scope of legal aid.
Prior to obtaining the Justice First Fellowship, she worked as the Manager of the Leeds Personal Support Unit. The PSU is a volunteer led charity giving free assistance to those who are trying to navigate their way through the Civil and Family Courts as litigants in person. Her responsibilities included recruiting, training and supervising volunteers. Beth saw her role there as meeting the gap in legal assistance and support for vulnerable individuals brought about by the reduction in legal aid. Her work there, as well as volunteering at Citizens Advice, brought into sharp focus the destructive nature of LASPO for vulnerable individuals seeking access to justice. It was this experience that cemented Beth's commitment to Social Welfare law and access to justice.
Beth's JFF project follows on from her Masters research and previous experience working at the Personal Support Unit. She will continue to examine the viability of 'unbundling' legal services to increase access to justice and develop a sustainable model co-ordinated within her host law centre.
Beth intends to focus initially on the area of Employment law and litigation, where legal aid has been removed and representation at Employment Tribunal has not been publically funded for decades. She will look to put the idea of 'unbundled' legal services into practice by expanding on current projects at the law centre. Beth aims to create a pro-bono network through partnerships with third sector organisations, private practice solicitors, barristers and universities to increase access to specialist employment advice to disadvantaged groups and individuals.
Derbyshire Law Centre would be the central coordinating hub overseeing the client's case. The case would be 'unbundled' into set pieces of work which the network specialist would take on. The pro-bono work which could be offered through the project would range from preparing for and representation at either a preliminary or full hearing, a day's casework on a complex case, a couple of hours advice to the claimant on the merits of their case, or drafting pleadings.
Clients would then continue to be supported by being signposted to another organisation or under the Law Centre's current Litigants in Person Support service project or Employment Tribunal Representation Service project, so that individuals are not left to navigate their way through a legally technical and complicated process on their own.
Beth intends to develop this network by involving universities, where students can work with clients, supported by the law centre specialists, and be creative in the way that large private practice firms could 'sponsor' the network, to ensure its sustainability. She will then see whether this holistic approach could be replicated into a sustainable model which could be adopted by other practice areas and organisations.

Q: can i use a gwt library in a jsf project I want to create a mobile app using PrimeFaces. In it, I also want to use Phonegap, but not directly, rather through its GWT abstraction- phonegap-gwt.
Some of the features provided by PhoneGap, in a phonegap application, require the web page accessing the phone's functionality to be a local page(on the device where phone's functionality is to be accessed)... this can be done using phonegap-gwt in a google web toolkit project also, i.e. dont put server side code in the page that utilises phonegap-gwt code(correct me if I am wrong here, so far?)... On the other hand, the program created by jsf(i.e. primefaces) is a mobile web application.
Hence, what I am confused about is, can I keep GWT code (for Phonegap access through GWT) and JSF code in the same project? I understand that the phonegap gwt code will get compiled into Javascript, but can such programming,i.e. keeping gwt code with jsf code, be implemented? Even if this is possible theoretically, wont there be issues/restrictions that I would have to keep track of? What are those restrictions? Have you tried combining GWT code with JSF code? Did it work?

Formula SAE-A winners Monash Uni to get track time at Albert Park during Aussie GP
By HAITHAM RAZAGUI
ENGINEERING students from Monash University beat 22 other teams from the Asia-Pacific region to take first prize in the 2011 Formula SAE-Australasia (SAE-A) competition, which entails designing and building a race car from scratch within a budget of $50,000.
Winning the event earned the Melbourne-based institution its third consecutive victory plus, for the first time in the competition's 11-year history, a track appearance at this year's Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix in March.
The group of students from Monash will be joined at Albert Park in Melbourne by teams from Perth-based podium placers University of Western Australia and Edith Cowan University.
Australian car manufacturers take turns hosting the Formula SAE-A competition, with GM Holden providing assistance in 2011 in the areas of project management, logistics and several employees volunteering their time and labour.
GM Holden executive director of engineering Greg Tyus described the experience Formula SAE-A gives students uniquely reflects the challenges they will face in employment due to the team environment and deadline challenges that must be faced while optimising their design.

Mr Tyus said Australia needs the best talent in its automotive sector, which is a cornerstone for many other key industries.
SAE-A Editor Barry Oosthuizen told GoAuto the Victorian government and various motor industry bodies decided that showcasing the winning cars and the teams behind them at the Grand Prix would help the event deliver better value for to the community by showcasing the level of engineering skill already present in Australia.
Announcing the inclusion of Formula SAE-A to the Grand Prix program, Australian Grand Prix Corporation motorsport and entertainment general manager Craig Fletcher said it would form part of an education initiative to encourage young Australians to consider high technology careers in vehicle design, engineering, manufacturing, and service and repair.
Mr Oosthuizen said the Australian aftermarket industry – a hidden hive of design, engineering and manufacturing activity in this country – will also get its own pavilion at Albert Park, drawing attention in particular to Australian performance and motorsport equipment and technology.
Defending the title and taking the hat-trick for Monash University was a lighter car with more fuel-efficient engine that topped the cost, skid pad and endurance events.
It achieved second place in the autocross category and scored highly for its design, which like previous Monash entrants, featured a huge rear wing.
Monash were also awarded an engineering excellence award by FISITA (the International Federation of Automotive Engineering).
The University of Western Australia – which reigned victorious in 2005 and 2007 and won the USA version of the competition in 2008 – had it all to play for after coming 21st in 2010 and achieved second place after winning the autocross, acceleration and fuel economy events.
UWA however were forced to run without aerodynamic fairings that fell foul of rules that predicate an open-wheeled car.
Taking the third podium spot was another Perth-based team and relative newcomer Edith Cowan University, whose car shared its big-winged silhouette with the entry from Monash and took first place in the design category, while achieving third place for acceleration, autocross and endurance.
SAE-A puts 2011's smaller field of 23 entrants, compared with more than 25 in previous years, down to financial issues faced by the teams – especially the transport costs for those from outside Australia (this year there were entries came from Japan, New Zealand, and India).
The competition, which the SAE-A says delivers "immediate practical results" in the form of top engineers for Australian industries, requires "greater assistance from all stakeholders interested in creating high technology outcomes for Australia".
