The biggest mistake made in family leadership is not leading the family as a family. What passes for family leadership these days is not really leading the family, although it might be parenting. The two are not quite the same. And parenting is greatly enhanced by leading the family as a social unit rather than a collection of individuals.
THE FIRST EXAMPLE
Consider this difference. There are two families, Family A and Family Z. The same two problems exist in both families. The first problem is that one family member is not very committed to the family. The second problem is that each family has a family member who captures too much family attention, whether that be by excessive social behavior or by misbehavior. The leader of Family A believes he is leading the family, but he is not. The leader of Family Z is truly leading the family.
Only Looks Like Family Leadership, But Is Not
In Family A, one or both parents talk with the family member who seems withdrawn from the family, asks what the problem is, gives advice and encourages the person to become more active in the family. The person is restored to the family.
The Family A, one or both parents also meet individually with the family member who garners too much family attention and explains that others are not getting enough attention. They discuss the need for this family member to let others be in the spotlight. The person stops talking some but is still too needy in the family and still takes too much family energy.
Leading the Family as a Whole
In Family Z, a parent asks the whole family in a family meeting what it wants to do about the family member who has withdrawn from the family. Family members discuss their reaction to the problem and then analyze it. They express their desire to have a happy family, that they worry about their brother/son who seems not to want to be with the family, and express reasons why it is important to them for him to be more a part of the family. Then the leaders (this article assumes there are two parents, but the principles are the same for single-parent families) of Family Z ask the family what it is going to do about it. They tell the reluctant family member that they miss him and wish he would spend more time with the family. They ask him why he does not want to be around the family more. He replies that he thinks people don't like him. They correct this wrong perception. Soon, his involvement increases and everyone tells him that they like him being with the family. By the time the family process is completed, the family has learned how to work as a unit to solve a problem, how to confront lovingly as a team, and that family problems are the family's responsibility to solve. Members learn they are very capable as a family, as well as individually.
Also in Family Z, a parent asks the family during a family meeting if it is satisfied with how the family is going. The parents explain that it is their family, and their success is in their own hands. Many family members express unhappiness, a few are angry, and the over-needy family member is totally confused by the question. A silence follows that seems to last forever, even though it is only two minutes, while the family members get up the nerve to talk and figure out how to say in a loving way what is on each of their minds.
Then, finally, they begin to reveal their unhappiness at not getting more time with others, especially Mom and Dad, to talk or do things. A few other comments are made. Then the over-talkative individual asks why they don't feel they can talk. There is another silence.
The parents stay quiet, since there is no sign yet that the family will not be able to take the next step. Eventually an angry member blurts out that Jim talks too much and even misbehaves and ends up taking too much of Dad and Mom's time. It is tense for a moment.
The family seems stuck, so after a minute of silence a parent asks the family if others agree that Jim is taking too much of the family's attention and energy. A sister says that she does not think Jim is doing it out of malice. Someone asks Jim why he is taking up so much of the family's time with his talking and causing trouble. Jim, for one of the first times, must be accountable. He is uncomfortable. The family waits for his answer. Seeing that he cannot avoid answering, Jim says he does not know.
The family does not let him avoid understanding and/or admitting the reason for his behavior. They begin to ask him if it is for this reason or that. He finally admits that they were correct when they suggested that, as the oldest child, he was used to getting all the attention and resents the others being born and robbing him of his monopoly on the parents. The family lets him know that it must have been sad, but that they need him to give up his resentment. He says he knows he doesn't really need all the attention and commits to try to do better.
In Family Z, some of the benefits of this kind of family leadership are easy to see; others are more subtle. Clearly, after the family is through with this process (which was engineered by one or both parents), the family will have a great deal of confidence in its ability to solve problems. It will know that whenever any member brings a problem to the family, the family working together can make a good try at solving that problem. Parents are valued for bringing out the strength of the family rather than creating dependency on them to solve all the problems and give all the answers. Family members are grateful that the parents let them take leadership and did not do anything that they could do for themselves. The parents are quite impressed with the good job the family did and feel privileged to have had a part in helping the family discover its abilities and go on to victory.
There are also many less obvious benefits. For example, the family learned that one of its members is not sure he is liked. That was important to discover.
Do you see the tremendous benefit to the family that comes when the parent/s leads the family as a whole? None of these benefits comes from just parenting kids individually, apart from the family as a small society.
Harm Done in Typical Family "Leadership"
But, unfortunately, there is harm done in Family A where the parents did not lead the family as a whole, but merely dealt with family individuals. There was powerful unspoken communication that the parents did not think the family and its members capable of dealing with its own situations and problems. Here is the tragedy: Confidence is undermined, and dependency upon the parents is bred and proliferated. As a result the family is actually made weaker.
It is absolutely critical, therefore, that families be led as families. The most basic, essential skill in leading families is leading the family as a family (as a whole, as a social system). Leading individuals in a family setting does not accomplish things; it destroys the power of the family and keeps individuals from learning how to get along better with people, solve problems and a host of other things.
THE SECOND EXAMPLE
Let me provide another example. Two families have a child who is being bullied at school.
A parent of Family A asks the bullied child a few questions, usually privately, apart from other family members. But, for this example, let's say that the questioning takes place at the dinner table with everyone present. Perhaps another brother or sister speaks up, but because of the way the parent brought it up, they likely keep silent, depending instead upon the parent to help their bullied brother or sister. As a result of our individualized Western culture, parents often talk to individuals rather than the family as a whole. Then, individual family members take no ownership in seeing the problem solved and the bullying stopped.
In Family Z, the parents envision the family working as a team, capable of solving the bullying problem. The parents ask what the family thinks needs to be done to stop the bullying. But because the parents just started this "whole-family" approach a couple of months ago, the family is stumped. The parents, still talking to the family and moving head and eyes to every member, ask, "Tell the family of anyone you know of who was bullied and did something that stopped the bullying." Once the other children in the family know that the parents believes in them, they begin to thoroughly discuss bullying and what to do about it. One older sibling even offers to talk to the bullies and receives ideas on how to do it educationally rather than threateningly.
Again, the contrast is striking. Family A did not deal with the problem, leaving the solution up to parents who were quite distant from contemporary bullying. Most likely their advice was limited in value. However, Family B was led as a family to solve the problem, and all sorts of resources, ideas and suggestions were offered. I could go on for pages listing the advantages of having the parents in Family Z focus on the family and its process rather than on just the child being bullied. The parents gave the problem to the whole family, and all sorts of possible solutions were identified. Also, the members of Family Z did more than struggle with the bullying problem. They also struggled with things like bringing others into the task, understanding each other, depending upon each other to come up with something superior to individual thinking, and helping one another to be victorious.
THE THIRD EXAMPLE
Both Family A and Family Z have a very saddened parent who needs emotional and physical support for the task of taking care of an elderly mother (the children's grandparent) until that parent goes into an assisted living facility. Taking care of another household and the needs of the elderly mother doubles the week's pressures. Additionally, the parent is stretched emotionally by the conflicting feelings of sadness, compassion and resentment. In both families the moodiness of the burdened parent is noticed and dealt with right away.
In Family A, after the parent tells the family of her/his burden regarding the failing mother, the parents let the process develop and a few family members share some of their own feelings, everyone being close to the grandparent whose health is diminishing. Then the parents ask if anyone has anything else to add. Throughout, because of the individualized focus, the problem is dealt with as if the parent's burden of taking care of her/his mother is primarily her/his problem.
The parents of Family Z view the problem differently. They see the problem as belonging to the family primarily and only secondarily to the parent whose mother is failing medically. So the other parent says, "Okay, family, let's help Mom/Dad. It is our job as a family to help. Anybody have any ideas?" Then the parent backs off and lets the family spread its wings and fly. The parents watch carefully, analyzing the family's efforts and process, not just individual contributions.
Mary, age 8, asks more about her grandmother's health, and the family changes course to help all family members deal with their feelings about the poor health, pain and suffering that their loved one is facing. Once this is done, everyone begins suggesting ways they may be able to help with the workload. John, aged 14, asks if it would be helpful to spend time after school on Monday, Wednesday and Friday with Grandma, helping out and playing cards with her. Mary chimes in that she would like to spend some time there also, and the family decides that Mary and John will work as a team two or three days a week after school. Many more suggestions on how to help are made and adopted.
Finally, the family asks Mom/Dad about her/his feelings about the grandparent's failing health and evident move to an assisted-living facility and eventual death. Mom/Dad expresses feelings, perhaps cries a bit, and the family all move to her/him and a family hug lasts about five minutes.
Let me repeat: Do you see the tremendous benefit that comes when the parents lead the family as a family, as a whole? Can you see that Family A was parenting but not leading the family? It is absolutely critical, therefore, that families are led as families. The most basic, most essential skill in leading families is leading the family. Leading individuals in a family setting does not accomplish much in comparison.
What Results Do Families Want?
Most families want everyone, especially the children, to be capable, confident people. People grow in confidence when they can make their own contributions to the success of their families. When parents help their families struggle and succeed by staying out of the action whenever possible, they will have a family full of confident people, each doing his or her own part.
Successful parents recognize the synergism possible when family members work together, building upon one another's contributions.
Leading a Family Is Much Easier Parenting
This parenting of a family as a whole is actually simpler and easier than leading individuals. It is less burdensome on the parents. The family has greater abilities because of its expanded resources in many different personalities, greater number of life experiences, and the various talents of its members. If the parents do a good job of leading the family, the individual family members will be excellently and thoroughly led by the family itself. And, even after the children are grown, the family will still work more effectively as a team rather than just a few individuals with ideas but no synergism.
A FOURTH EXAMPLE
Here is one last example contrasting the parenting of individuals, the parenting of individuals in a family, and, finally, leadership of a family.
One of the children, Joan, is having difficulty understanding why she has to do chores other than cleaning her room. She expects everything else to be done by the others in the family. She is 13 years old and the youngest.
Parenting of Individuals, One-on-One:
The parents meet with Joan and try to explain that she is part of the family and has to make a reasonable contribution to the family in the way of chores. They spell out what she needs to do and the consequences of not doing her assigned chores. She realizes she must do her chores, doesn't like it, and leaves the meeting quietly angry.
The parents feel frustrated at the meager results.
Parenting of Individuals in the Family Gathering:
The scenario is the same as above, except that the whole family is present eating, driving or doing some other thing together. The parents try to explain to Joan that she is part of the family and has to make a reasonable contribution to the family in the way of chores. They spell out what she needs to do and the consequences of not doing her assigned chores. Occasionally one or two family members might say something to the 13-year-old sister, often angry, hostile and provoking. But the pressure for dealing with the problem is still upon the parents. The other teenagers do not take responsibility for the outcome because the parents have assumed all responsibility and authority, as is usual in almost all models of parenting.
Other family members are observers most of the time. They gain some benefit from the insights the parents communicate to the 13-year-old. But all remain dependent upon the parents to solve this problem.
Leadership of a Family:
However, this problem is a family problem, not a parenting problem. The family has a lot of work to do to run the "family business," and everyone has to pitch in. It is a team issue. Everyone needs to be on the team, and the coach just cannot make that happen unless he/she leads the team as a whole.
Therefore, parents give the whole job to the family, possibly saying to the family, "The family needs to help Joan understand her responsibility to do her chores as her contribution to the family."
All family members grapple with the problem. They go about the task of helping, not only during the one meeting, but over time, until Joan does her chores sufficiently and becomes a valuable contributor to the family workload and the family's happiness. The parents do not participate as actively as the children, thus allowing it to be a family problem rather than a parent problem. This allows the others in the family to do most of the work. But the parents are quite active in helping the family reach its maximum helpfulness.
Quite a discussion ensues, too long to narrate here. But a summary might be that the other teens confront Joan with her responsibility to contribute, asking her why she thinks they want to or have the time to do her chores. They also explain how the parents do not have all that much extra time either. They might express some anger at Joan for not treating them as important, in the way of contributing to their living situation, since they contribute to hers. They might even tell her that the consequence of not acting like a part of the family will be that they do not do anything with her or for her. Occasionally, the parents might add something, but, mostly they stay in a leadership role helping the family as a whole deal with this family problem. Eventually, Joan will likely agree to do her chores and the family will agree to meet again in a week to discuss how she is doing on those responsibilities.
The advantages of leading the family as a whole rather than parenting individuals should be obvious. There are many good outcomes to this approach. I will mention only a few of the products of such a model of family leadership.
Each family member works on the problem, which gets each of them to "own" some responsibility for creating a happy home situation. No one feels dependent upon the parents to solve problems in the family, thus increasing the possibility that problems arising in the absence of the parents will be solved independently and constructively, the parents often not even being aware that the problem existed. Every family member develops interpersonal skills and also "leads" in some way. Some, if not all, of the children see their capability in solving problems and learn that they can relate to people in difficult situations. Everyone feels important, even Joan who is faced with her own importance to the family.
At the same time the family members are helping one another, each family member (including Dad and Mom) struggles with his or her own issues concerning his or her own necessary contributions to the family's success. Everyone improves in doing their chores and other contributions like getting good grades in school and going to work and earning the family's income.
The parents feel very important, not so much because the problem was solved but for helping the family achieve as a team. To help the family work together and come out with superior results is quite rewarding. To have the burden lightened because everyone pitched in greatly reduces parental stress.
When you lead individuals in a family setting, you do not get a helpful, loving, interacting family. But by leading a family as a social system, you build a better family. Children get more and more experience in problem-solving, planning family events, and the list could go on and on.
Let's lead families! Let's give them a chance to bring out the best in family life and cooperation.

David Clark takes his daily run up Sanitas Trail in Boulder recently. Now an ultramarathoner, Clark has lost more than 150 pounds and beaten his drug addictions. He plans to run the Boston Marathon course four times in a row as a fundraiser.
Not that long ago, if someone had told David Clark it was not only humanly possible to run a 100-mile race but, moreover, that someone would be "stupid enough" to want to, he says he would have laughed in their face.
That seems like another lifetime for the 44-year-old Lafayette man.
After all, he recently returned from Los Angeles, where he attempted to break the world record for the greatest distance run on a treadmill in 12 hours.
Each of the 77.15 miles that he ran — setting several personal records but missing the world record by about three miles — served as a symbol for his long journey, from an obese, bankrupt addict to a pro athlete. The key to every race and contest, as well as improving your life, he says: taking it one step at a time.

Q: Extending classes that extend Zend_Db_Table_Row_Abstract We are building an online payment system using Zend Framework and we try to design it to make it easier to add new payment systems. Currently we have an implementation for PayPal, but maybe we want to add other providers later too.
We have a Payment object that extends Zend_Db_Table_Row_Abstract and a Payments object extending Zend_Db_Table_Abstract. The Payment object now has PayPal specific data in its row which we want to move to a different, PayPal specific, table. This enables us to have general data for payments in the payments table and payment provider specific data in another.
Now we tried to make a class PayPalPayment extending Payment and a class PayPalPayments extending Zend_Db_Table_Abstract. The PayPalPayments refers to our new database table and the new object PayPalPayment. What we want to do now is:
$ppp = new PayPalPayments();
$p = $ppp->createRow();
//set a paypal specific property. setToken is defined in PayPalPayment
$p->setToken('lol');
//set a Payment general property. setStatus is defined in Payment
$p->setStatus('paid');
//write to database
$p->save();

However, we cannot get this to work since the createRow will only return a row with the columns in the PayPalPayment table. So this would give the error:
Specified column "pay_status" is not in the row

Found some things about relations in the Zend framework documentation, but that's not really how we want to do it. Anyone tried this before?
Regards,
Lars

A: Did you declare in class PayPalPayments that the default $_rowClass = 'PayPalPayment'?

99 Stats Until Kickoff (#80) Beware of the 25-year-old Super Bowl QB
By Jerry Tapp on August 17, 2013 | Leave a comment
Joe Flacco (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
From May 30 and every day until September 5… the start of the 2013 NFL season… Sports Stats 'on Tapp' will publish "99 Stats Until Kickoff" a daily dose of NFL stats that will get you ready for the 2013 NFL season.)
In the 47-year history of the Super Bowl, we have had 48 players (there were co-MVPs in 1978) who were selected as the MVP of the game. Joe Montana, quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers won three of those awards, most in the game's history. Four other players won the award twice: Bart Starr, Terry Bradshaw, Tom Brady and Eli Manning, all QBs.
As we take a look at the list of Super Bowl MVPs, several interesting stats evolve:
First, quarterbacks seem to be the primary focus of the Super Bowl MVP award. Of the 48 MVPs, 26 have been QBs. The 2013 Super Bowl as no exception as Baltimore QB Joe Flacco was chosen as the game's MVP.
Here's a position look at the MVPs.
Super Bowl MVP Awards, position, (average age of those MVPs)
26: Quarterbacks (30.0)
8: Defensive players (26.6)
7: Running backs (27.0)
6: Wide receivers (26.5)
1: Kick returners (26.0)
Secondly, we notice that when it comes to the age of the player named the game's MVP, most are in their 20′s. In fact, of the 48 MVPs, 30 were in their 20′s, 18 were in their 30′s. Here's a look at the number of MVPs within each age. The age with the most MVPs is 25 with seven.
Age, Super Bowl MVP Awards
Age 23: Two
Age 24: Five
Age 25: Seven
Age 28: Three
Age 32: Four
Age 38: One
* The oldest Super Bowl MVP was Denver's John Elway in 1999. He was 38 years old.
* The youngest Super Bowl MVP was Raiders running back Marcus Allen who was 23. Pittsburgh receiver Lynn Swann was also 23 when he won his Super Bowl MVP in 1976, but Allen beat him by 15 days; Allen was 23 and 302 days, Swann was 23 and 317 days.
* Of the 18 players who were in their 30′s when they won the Super Bowl MVP, 14 of them were quarterbacks.
* Dallas' Randy White, who shared MVP honors with teammate Harvey Martin in the 1978 game, is the only MVP to win his award on his birthday. He won his MVP on his 25th birthday.
"99 Stats Before Kickoff" (Stats you need to know before the start of the 2013 NFL season) is available from e-book publisher Smashwords. Go to www.smashwords.com to download a copy, including a pdf version which can be viewed on your home computer. Cost is $2.99.

My love of landscape and Asian art was seeded during my childhood in Mexico – growing up in a home filled with Japanese art which my parents had collected while living in Japan in the 1930's. The very first color drawing that I remember doing and signing my name to, was a landscape with Mt. Fuji in the background; I was five years old then, and little has changed about the things that inspire me as an artist – childhood illusions have unfolded into adult realities.
After decades of conflict between a very formal Western art education and an even more formal immersion into traditional Japanese art, I have managed to reconcile the two. These traditions have influenced not only the art I create but my entire life in the most literal sense.
My studies at The Oomoto School of Traditional Japanese Arts in Japan and in particular the work of Onisaburo Deguchi, whose life, body of work, and philosophy, were a great influence, and made a profound impression on me. That encounter awakened in me a need to experience the process of creating my own work in a more spiritual way. Correspondingly, as an artist and human being, my work and I were transformed and acquired characteristics, such as mindfulness, compassion and acceptance – all of which were learned from creating art from such a perspective.
This evolution was not a reductive process at all; the transition from the emotionally graphic and figurative work I was doing before, to the serene spontaneity and seemingly abstraction of a Zen circle or Chinese character hovering above a Sonoma County landscape is only visually drastic. The essence and spirit of creation remain the same. The physical, direct, and passionate components are still present; but in addition, there are also elements of joyous surprise, patience, fullfilment, healing, spirituality, acceptance, humility, simplicity, sharing, unbridled energy, spontaneity, surrender, and the promise that something unseen will make itself present. This invisible expectation turns an ordinary work of art into a prayer. The process is one of growth and understanding – of deeper awareness and harmony. The results are manifest in my work, but more importantly, in my life.
Working within the lure of two very diverse ways of expression and a continuously evolving body of work, I have found joy, harmony and tranquility in bringing these two worlds together in a way that makes sense to me. It is my spiritual practice. The result delights me, and kindles a sense of surprise at how well they fuse together, and how much they reveal about me.

Exploring The History, Legacy Of The Stuart Sailfish Club As It Celebrates 75 Years
by Wendy Dwyer | February 2016 | DIGITAL EDITION
The year was 1941. Veronica Lake, Ingrid Bergman and Betty Grable were all the rage, the New York Yankees were the team to root for, and Humphrey Bogart and "The Maltese Falcon" were taking theaters by storm. But on the coast of Florida, the rage was an enormous run of sailfish during the first three months of the year. Tens of thousands of the beautiful billfish, known for their blue and gray coloring and their magnificently upright dorsal fin, chose to swim and frolic in the warm waters off the coast of Florida near the City of Stuart.
With their appearance came hundreds of chartered and private boats filled with anglers who wanted a chance to catch the glorious and majestic sailfish. In fact, so many sailfish were caught and slaughtered during that three month period that a group of wise locals who were members of the Stuart Jaycees club met to devise a way to encourage the sudden and wonderful boom in tourism without annihilating the very thing that had created it. In a brilliant marketing move, the men decided to host a tournament that would both lure sport fishermen and also reward them for releasing their oceanographic bounty.
Among those visionaries was Capt. Curt Whiticar, a boat builder and avid fisherman whose family had called Stuart home since 1917. He suggested a special prize for anglers who caught and released their sailfish, allowing it to live and swim on to grow even larger and procreate. He even designed a golden release pin in the shape of a leaping sailfish, which became highly prized and coveted by fishermen as proof of not only their fishing prowess but also their dedication to the conservation of a species. This became the mission of the newly formed Stuart Sailfish Club, established and incorporated in 1941 and celebrating its 75th anniversary this year.
While Jan. 16 is the official date of the club's incorporation, members of the Stuart Sailfish Club will commemorate the momentous occasion and mission by celebrating its diamond anniversary throughout the year. The events celebrating the Stuart Sailfish Club's diamond jubilee are attuned to the mission of respecting and honoring the breathtaking beauty and importance of the sailfish. One of the oldest sport fishing clubs in the U.S., the Stuart Sailfish Club is also one of the most prolific, hosting no less than four tournaments each year.
"Each tournament truly does have its own personality, and all of our club's events, management and activities rely heavily on volunteers from our 450 members," says Tom Dyer, the club's president.
The tournaments hosted by the club include the Light Tackle Tournament, the Small Boat Tournament, the Junior Angler Tournament, the Florida Sailfish Amateur Championship and the Salt Water Sisters Lady Angler Tournament. Additionally this year, the club is sending a flotilla of its members to participate in the invitation-only Hemingway Billfish Tournament at Marina Hemingway in Havana, Cuba.
The Hemingway Billfish Tournament, a new endeavor for the group, will take advantage of the relaxed tourism and travel restrictions, and allow participants who are members of the Stuart Sailfish Club to travel by private vessel to the island, for the four-day tournament. In addition to the fierce invitation-only competition of the tournament itself, this particular event will allow a never-before offered window into a country, lifestyle and culture that has been shuttered up for decades because of political and diplomatic differences. Hemingway Billfish
Tournament participants have the opportunity to tour Old Havana, enjoy the history at the Museo de la Revolucion, and enjoy the tastes, sights and sounds of the largest Caribbean island, all of which have been forbidden until now.
"This tournament is especially exciting to anyone who has wanted to go to Cuba or fish in Cuba," Dyer says. "With the doors of Cuba open again, this is the perfect way to test the waters, and according to everything I have heard, billfishing off Cuba is fantastic. [It's] the chance of a lifetime for members of the Stuart Sailfish Club." Stuart Sailfish Club promoter Jeannette Weiss says participating in the Havana-based tournament has helped the club stay current and relevant to its newest members and new generations of anglers and sports fishermen. "We've accepted 20 new members in the last few weeks because of the Hemingway Billfish Tournament," Weiss says.
The Junior Angler Tournament also offers great exposure and brings in new members, Weiss says. "[It] helps to expose our at-risk youth and members' children to the fun and conservation of our sport," she says. Every Junior Angler Tournament features "a series of educational teachings where participants are broken into groups and given the chance to learn the etiquette of sport fishing and the importance of conservation to the perpetuation of the sport. It helps get them excited about our sport in their future."
The conservation and the promotion of tourism and game-fishing are the backbone, or one might say dorsal fin, of the mission, but the club's reach extends far beyond the waters of the Atlantic, Weiss says. The Stuart Sailfish Club also supports the local breast cancer organization, Friends in Pink, with its Lady Angler Saltwater Sisters Tournament. The Club also supports the Martin County Reef Association and the Florida Sheriff's Youth Ranch Program through its Junior Angler Tournament, and supports the Billfish Foundation and the International Game and Fish Association, too.
Additionally, every year the Stuart Sailfish Club sponsors competitions at each Martin County high school in which seniors committed to studying the marine sciences compose essays explaining why they are best-suited to be selected for a Stuart Sailfish Club Scholarship. A committee of Club members reviews the applications and selects one or two from each school, providing a $1,500 scholarship to deserving seniors.
But this year's focus is truly on celebrating 75 years of Stuart being known as the "Sailfish Capital of the World," and the real celebration will take place in March, as the Club hosts its inaugural Family Fun Day on March 19 at Flagler Park in downtown Stuart. There will be activities for children, teens and adults, as well as demonstrations related to fishing, water sports, and a special Diamond Anniversary Gala on Friday, March 18. The gala will feature music, food and entertainment from the 1940s, when the club was first founded.
"We really want to honor our founders and celebrate our history of conservation," Dyer says. "As one of the oldest clubs in the country, we have a lot to be proud of." Plus, it's not necessary to be an angler to become a member of the Stuart Sailfish Club. "Our club is a family club," Dyer says. "Not only do you not have to fish to become a member, you don't have to own a boat."
For Dyer and the members of the Stuart Sailfish Club, it's important to celebrate the past and the accomplishments of that rugged and dedicated group of individuals who came before, but it's also critical to ensure that the club is strong and active moving into the future as the 21st century progresses. "Plans are underway to ensure our club's longevity, with fundraising and membership drives at the top of our list of priorities," Dyer says. "We're a strong club, but we have to take measures now to make sure we're here another 75 years. We want younger people to recognize the value of our club. There's a great sense of camaraderie and kinship; we're all dedicated to conservation and protecting our waters and sailfish, while having fun at the same time."
The magnificent sailfish, a member of the marlin family best known for its grace and speed, combines those two important elements into a beautiful creation, which is breathtaking to view, exhilarating to pursue and an accomplishment to catch. Clocked at speeds of nearly 70 miles per hour when leaping out of the water, the sailfish, which averages 6 to 8 feet, but has been known to grow to a monstrous 10 feet in length, has an average life span of five to seven years. There is no question why the spectacular sailfish has become the mascot and icon for the entire City of Stuart, or why the community takes such pride in being known as the "Sailfish Capital of the World."
There is also no question why the Stuart Sailfish Club is so proud to have grown from a small group of individuals dedicated to preserving and honoring this splendid creature to a mighty force of conservation and community during the past 75 years. Like the closing line delivered by Humphrey Bogart in "The Maltese Falcon," the 1941 classic movie popular as the Stuart Sailfish Club was forming, the Stuart sailfish with its strength, majesty and the freedom it represents truly is "the stuff that dreams are made of."

My weight just keeps bouncing around 180lbs. I'm thinking that 30 By 30 probably isn't a realistic goal at this point, especially since I lift weights often (which pack on muscle, meaning you lose fat but not weight). I'm not going to stop with these weekly updates though!
My week was going pretty well actually but Wednesday was all wonky because I ate most of my meals out of the house. It amazes me how many calories a restaurant can pack into a sandwich! I seemed to be eating really well but I didn't track so I can't say anything of my calories.
The week started out great, especially considering I went to Zumba on Thursday night also. Then I took a rest day Sunday because I was so sore. Mondays and Thursdays are always just walking at school. Wednesday was crazy and Tuesday, I was dead to the world (poor sleep). And now its Friday again!
Sleep – I Just Wanna Sleep!
I don't know what was happening this week but I slept terrible. Let's go back to the wondrous world of slumber we had last week, okay?
Lack of sleep made me very charming this week! Actually, I wasn't too cranky, just really, really drowsy.
There was nothing very good nor very bad this week. It was just kind of there.
Hitting the gym on the weekends!
Eating healthy home-cooked meals when they were available.
Hitting the gym the rest of the week.
Don't forget to check in with Kristen. Her goal is to lose 30 pounds by her 29th birthday in July!
I feel like this week is done and over. We both seem to have just stucked in the same place. Now time to move on, and get things going!
It's a new day and a new week…go get it! Stay focused on what you know you need to do and Get "er Done! By staying focused and aware of what you are doing (both the good and that which needs some work) you are being successful in making positive changes! Keep up the great focus and awareness!


The worst thing that can happen in your factory is several malfunctions at once. When this emergency happens you have to call several repair providers to fix each part. This can take time away from production. In the end, that can amount to lost profits. However, when you call Wyler Industrial Works in El Paso for industrial repair you can expect to receive service from several specialists in one machine shop.
Problems with the heat exchanger is an issue we address on a regular basis. Our technicians are skilled and know how to troubleshoot and fix these issues. Flow distribution problems, exchanger leakage, thermal leakage, and increased exchanger energy consumption are a few examples of common problems. Fouling is another problem that is encountered often. It can include instances of crystallization, corrosion, decomposition, and oxidation just to name a few. A technician can conduct an onsite inspection to find the problem.
Another common repair we see in our machine shop is problems with boilers. Industrial boilers can cause big problems if they are not dealt with right away. If the burner is not functioning as it should it will not be able to generate enough heat. The problem can lie in any of the parts that are in the burner assembly. Because of the high pressure that boiler use leaks are another common problem. D patches are also often used to fix cracks and other problems. While it is obvious that a boiler can't be brought to our machine shop we still conduct part repairs and construct patches at our shop.
Another common job we conduct at our machine shop is machining new parts. This can include machining parts for industrial machinery, heavy equipment, agricultural equipment and more. We have various machining services that include threading, grinding, finishing, and more. Our parts are manufactured to the best precision tolerances. We can work with various materials as well.
When you need multiple repairs conducted or machined parts our technicians can help. When you contact Wyler Industrial Works you don't need to call several locations to provide service for your industrial machinery. Our technicians offer a variety of repair services. We have been providing service to the El Paso community for several decades. We are a family owned business providing prompt, reliable service. Contact us today for more info.

Who wins biggest in the GOP tax plan? The lazy rich

Who wins biggest in the GOP tax plan? The lazy rich Rampell: Wealthy layabouts benefit in multiple ways from the proposal. Check out this story on thespectrum.com: http://www.thespectrum.com/story/opinion/2017/11/07/who-wins-biggest-gop-tax-plan-lazy-rich/840527001/
Washington Post Published 12:17 p.m. MT Nov. 7, 2017
Catherine Rampell(Photo: Marlon Correa/The Washington Post)
The Republican tax bill is often described as being weighted toward "the rich." But that's not the full story.
It's actually weighted toward the loafer, the freeloader, the heir, the passive investor who spends his time yachting and charity-balling.
In short: The idle rich.
Republicans claim the opposite, of course. For years the GOP has argued that we need to cut taxes to incentivize work and job creation. If only today's allegedly sky-high marginal rates were lower, millions of talented, driven Americans would apply more of their talent and drive toward growing the economy.
Last week: This tax reform thing won't be as easy as Republicans think
Why? Well, if they got to keep more of their hard-earned cash, there would be a greater payoff from clocking that extra hour, taking on that extra project, seeing that extra patient, scoring that extra client, building that extra business, and so on. Working would look more attractive relative to playing an extra round of golf.
Yet the GOP tax bill offers the biggest windfall to those who sit on their duffs and do nothing.
Rich layabouts benefit in multiple ways from the proposal.
The most obvious way is the repeal of the estate tax, which currently affects only estates worth at least $5.49 million, or roughly the wealthiest 0.2 percent of Americans who die each year.
Eliminating estate taxes paid by the very wealthy few seems unlikely to improve their work ethic. If anything, increasing the value of their bequests will make it less attractive for heirs and heiresses to hold down a job or start a company that they actually run.
More Catherine Rampell: Trump's tax proposal won't actually help the middle class
In My Opinion: Republicans fool us (again) with tax cut
This is hardly the only way that the Republican tax proposal would reward passively received income. The big cut in corporate tax rates and the corporate repatriation holiday also disproportionately benefit passive owners of capital rather than workers.
But the bill's differential treatment of those who work and those who don't is starkest in provisions related to "pass-through" entities.
Almost all businesses in the United States are structured as pass-through businesses, such as partnerships, sole proprietorships and S-corporations. This means their incomes are taxed at individual rates, rather than corporate ones. Despite the usual rhetoric, these businesses are not necessarily "small"; the Trump Organization, for instance, is organized as a pass-through.
The Republican tax plan would dramatically slash tax rates for pass-through income, down to no more than 25 percent. This special pass-through rate is much lower than the normal top marginal rate for individual income, which would continue to be 39.6?percent.
As you might imagine, a gap in tax rates is likely to create a tax-sheltering bonanza. Lots of high-income people currently working as employees would likely start calling themselves "companies" to take advantage of the lower rate.
The bill also includes some "guardrails" to discourage people from gaming this system. At least in theory.
Among them is a rule that says if you're actively involved in your business, typically only a portion (30 percent) of your earnings would qualify for the special pass-through rate. The rest of your earnings (70 percent) would be considered equivalent to the wages you'd pay yourself for your work at the firm. Accordingly, these would be taxed at regular individual income-tax rates.
But here's the rub. This 70-30 rule would apply only if you're "actively" working for the company you own. If instead you're considered a "passive" owner — determined by, for example, how many hours you log working for it — then you inexplicably qualify for the special pass-through rate on 100 percent of your earnings.
Consider a hypothetical, similar to one New York University School of Law's Lily Batchelder suggested to me recently: A family business has been passed down to several siblings with varying levels of industriousness and IQ.
The most competent sibling works for her family's company full-time. The least competent sibling kicks in a few hours of work each year, but otherwise spends his time popping bottles of champagne and hunting endangered wildlife.
Under the Republican tax bill, the lowest tax rate is paid by the ne'er-do-well brother, rather than by the worker-bee sister who actually grew the business. Although, with a good enough accountant, she might be able to convince the Internal Revenue Service that she's just as lazy and uninvolved as her brother.
This is a strange way to design tax incentives. As New York University law school professor Daniel Shaviro has noted, our existing tax code typically incentivizes people to avoid being classified as passive and instead to prove that they're "materially participating" in running their business. This bill encourages rich people to do the opposite.
So much for the dignity of work.

2013: A cold and dry air mass produced a significant freeze in all areas away from the coast on 1/12 and on this day. Low temperatures dropped to the 30s near the coast, 20s inland and in the low deserts, and the low teens in the high desert, which caused some water pipe damage. A frigid -8 degrees was recorded at Big Bear City – Shay Meadows.
2009: The minimum temperature at Santa Ana of 73° not only set a record high minimum temperature for the date and month, but also for the entire winter season. Incredibly, the minimum is tied for the 23rd highest minimum temperature on record (and this was in January!). Persistent Santa Ana winds and strong high pressure were the causes.
2007: A trace of snow was reported in Rancho Bernardo, Escondido, Chula Vista, El Cajon and La Mesa. A cold snap settled over Southern California. Some remarkable records were set, particularly on this day and on 1/14. -7° at Fawnskin, -2° at Big Bear City and Wrightwood, 5° at Hesperia and Mt. Laguna, 10° at Borrego Airport, 12° at Campo, 16° at Ramona, 18° at Thermal, 19° in Hemet, 20° at Camp Pendleton. $114.7 million in crop damage in San Diego Co. $86 million in Riverside Co. $11.1 in San Bernardino Co. $600 thousand damage from broken pipes in San Bernardino Co. All three counties were declared disaster areas.
1997: A storm that started on 1/12 and ended on this day gave the coastal areas and valleys one to three inches of rainfall. Snow continued in the mountains and as of 1/15, 18 inches of snow had fallen at Mt. Laguna. Generally 18 inches to three feet of snow were reported above 2500 feet, but up to four feet accumulated in the San Gorgonio Wilderness Area. The ski resort at Snow Valley remained open until 5/18, the latest in its 78 year history. Dime size hail up to one foot deep covered a small area in Buena Park and Cypress. 13 illegal immigrants died from exposure near Pine Valley.
1993: A very wet series of storms that began on 1/6 and ended on 1/19 produced 20 to 50 inches of precipitation in the mountains and up to 12 inches at lower elevations over a two week period. This day marked the start of seven consecutive days (the most on record) of measurable precipitation in Victorville, which ended on 1/19. This also occurred on 2/18-2/24/2005, 2/14-2/20/1980, and 12/22-12/28/1971. Measurable rain fell nearly every day from 1/2 to 1/19 in San Diego County. Flooding and flash flooding, mud slides, etc., resulted.
1984: A tornado in Huntington Beach damaged a mobile home.
1963: The Western US chilled out more than usual when a massive arctic air mass descended on the region. The cold dry air mass filtered through the mountains into Southern California, helping Alpine (19°) and Vista (21°) set all-time record low temperatures.
1952: A series of storms brought heavy rain and mountain snow to the region starting this day and ending on 1/18. 5.52 inches fell in San Bernardino over the six days. Flooding was reported in Upland and Ontario. Heavy snow hit the San Bernardino Mountains with 40 inches in Lake Arrowhead (with a snow depth of 46 inches), and 37 inches in Big Bear Lake. All mountain roads were blocked and closed because of snow slides.
1949: 43 inches of snow fell at Palomar Mountain from 1/10 to this day, the greatest storm snowfall on record. On this day 20 inches fell, the greatest daily snowfall on record for January and the third greatest daily snowfall on record.
1882: A cold winter storm that started on 1/12 and ended on 1/14 brought lots of snow to the lowlands. 15 inches of snow fell at San Bernardino. 3 feet of snow fell in Campo over four days. Two to five inches fell in outlying San Diego, including four inches along Poway Grade, three inches at El Cajon and one inch in Poway. Light snow fell in Del Mar. Snowflakes fell, but did not stick at San Diego Lindbergh Field. Birds and livestock were killed and telegraph lines were knocked down.
Routine issuance of the Tropical Weather Outlook will resume on May 15, 2020. During the off-season, Special Tropical Weather Outlooks will be issued as conditions warrant.

2018 BMW i3s review, test drive
1st Nov 2018 12:55 pm
The BMW i3s is under consideration for an India launch. A drive in one tells us how it fits into the Indian scheme of things.
Nikhil Bhatia Author
Model : i3
It's been five years since the i3 joined BMW's international line-up, yet it remains one of the most unique models to wear the propeller badge. Along with the i8 hybrid sportscar, the all-electric i3 constitutes BMW's 'i' sub-brand that's centred on sustainability and low emissions. The i3 is not on sale in India as yet but BMW has brought in a few units to serve as technology demonstrators to government bodies, and to gauge if there's indeed a market for a high-end electric hatchback as this.
The model with us is the i3s, a sportier version launched alongside the updated i3 last year. Range-extender variants that add in a two-cylinder engine – which solely acts as a generator to juice up the battery – is also an option on both versions abroad.
What's it like on the outside?
The i3 is far removed from BMW's combustion engine models in look. The silhouette is upright hatchback (it measures 3,999mm in length) but you just can't confuse the funky i3 for anything else.
The almost oversized wheels (they're 20 inchers!) and blacked-out bonnet, roof and tailgate (BMW calls it the 'i Black Belt') set the tone, and then there's the stepped window line that is such a departure from the norm. Of the other cool bits are the tail-lights that are recessed in the glass of the tailgate. But the coolest design elements of them all are the i3's doors. The front ones open conventionally while the back doors open rearwards à la the Rolls-Royce Phantom. And note, there's no B-pillar to spoil your view of the cabin or hinder access either.
The latter bit is possible because the i3's passenger cell is made of carbon-fibre reinforced plastics (CFRP) that's rigid enough to do without the need for added structural support. CFRP aside, the i3 makes liberal use of aluminium (on its bespoke skateboard chassis, for one) and plastics to keep weight to a minimum. In all, the i3's weighs 1,265kg, which is really impressive for an electric vehicle that is traditionally weighed down by heavy battery packs.
What's it like on the inside?
Just like its exterior, the i3's interior too is unlike any other BMW out there. And it's not only the minimalist design of the dash but also the materials used; the grain of the wood, the fabric on the seats and the fibre-like finish to the door inserts give the cabin an almost meditative vibe. BMW says over 80 percent of the materials visible to occupants are made from recycled materials or renewable resources. PETA sure would approve of this cabin.
Up front, the i3 feels really airy. You sit at a nice height, the glass area is large and then there's the floating dash that accentuates the feeling of space. The controls for the free-standing centre screen (not a touchscreen) sit between the front seats but what's unique to the i3 is a drum-like gear selector (D, N, R, P only, mind you) behind the steering wheel.
The rear seats score fine on comfort but there are a few quirks. To begin with, the rear door cannot open independently of the front door, so the chauffeur-driven won't make the most elegant of exits at hotel porches. Also, while the rear windows are large and afford a good view out, they are fixed and cannot be rolled down.
The i3 is a city car, so the 260 litres of boot space is acceptable. There's a storage bay under the bonnet too but a small shopping bag is all it'll take.
What's it like to drive?
The BMW i3s is powered by a 184hp (14hp up on the standard i3) electric motor that draws power from a 33kWh lithium-ion battery pack placed under the passenger compartment. The rear-mounted motor drives the rear wheels via a single-speed gearbox.
Electric motors produce max torque from the word go but the i3s feels particularly zippy. BMW claims a 0-100kph time of 6.9second and the seat-of-the-pants feel is that it really is that quick. It's just unusual to be in a quick BMW without any sound from the exhaust.
There are four driving modes – Sport, Comfort, Eco Pro and Eco Pro + – each with their own power and steering characteristics. The good thing is that the i3s doesn't drive like an insipid electric car. It's quite nice in the corners thanks to the light yet precise steering and fair body control. This may not be the BMW to go hooning about in but it sure can liven up the mundane city commute. Speaking of which, the i3s does the daily grind well. We drove it through rush-hour Gurgaon traffic and liked the i3 for its power, pep and silent progress.
That said, range anxiety does kick in out on the highway. The i3 has a claimed range of 200km and driving with verve has the numbers on the range indicator drop quite quickly. A full charge is also a long-drawn process – it takes upwards of 10 hours. Regen braking does help top up the battery on the go, but for max range, Eco Pro+ is the mode to be in. Among other measures to help the i3s go the distance, it also switches the air-con off.
Should I buy one?
The question really is, would you buy one? Assuming BMW does think it's worth bringing the i3s to India, the punitive duty structure would put the price tag upwards of Rs 50 lakh. Sure, it has the green credentials and is actually quite nice to drive too, but, at the end of the day, a similar-priced 5-series, for instance, would give you much more car and thrills for the money. And let's not even get into the matter of the inadequate public charging infrastructure.
In all, this is a BMW with its heart in the right place. It's just that India is not the place for the i3s.

Son of the late James and Rose Clancy.
Andrew's death was reported in the Macclesfield Times of 7 September 1917.
Private Andrew Clancy has no known grave and is commemorated on the Vimy Memorial near Arras, France. The Vimy Memorial is the great memorial to all Canadians who served their country in battle during the First World War, and also bears the names of 11,000 Canadian servicemen who died in France – many of them in the fight for Vimy Ridge – who have no known grave.
The Commonwealth War Graves Commission holds casualty details for Private Andrew Clancy, and he is listed on the Imperial War Museum's Lives of the First World War website.
In Macclesfield, Private Andrew Clancy is commemorated on the Park Green, Town Hall, St Michael's Church and St Alban's Church war memorials.

The Mentor-Mentee Relationship: Two Perspectives
At Vanderbilt University Medical Center, mentors and mentees fill out a formal agreement, which is reviewed after six months. Download a version of the Mentorship Contract for your own program, courtesy of Dr. Gilbert.
November 2010: Finding the right mentor and developing a productive relationship with him or her can be a critical move for an early-career oncologist. Below, Jill Gilbert, MD, a 2009-2010 participant in the ASCO Leadership Development Program, and her mentee, Neeta Venepalli, MD, both of Vanderbilt University Medical Center, discuss the challenges and rewards of connecting with a mentor.
The Mentee: Neeta Venepalli, MD
For most of us in fellowship, finding a good mentor can feel like an elaborate version of Where's Waldo? combined with The Amazing Race. Fortunately, my program director encouraged us early on to establish an informal nexus of multiple mentors in both hematology and oncology while developing strong relationships with one or two primary mentors. This network has provided me a multitude of perspectives on career development and unique research collaborations. Rather than the sum total of hours spent with someone, I gauge my mentors' influence by how I've internalized their professional values and skill sets. Along the way, I've learned that a great mentor has five unique qualities: accessibility, interest in furthering the fellow's personal development, generosity with research ideas and authorship, critical honesty, and an instinct about when to guide their mentee towards other people and resources.
Being the beneficiary of a good mentor carries a certain burden of responsibility as well. As fellows, we are intimately acquainted with feeling overwhelmed, distracted, and insanely rushed; between personal and professional obligations, the easiest course of action is to go with the flow. It is tempting to latch on to one mentor and let her or him do the driving without much thought. However, overdependence on the mentor for career development or personal success limits the benefits of having a good mentor. It is also incumbent on us as fellows to build relationships with our mentors based on realistic expectations of their time and capabilities, and to understand when to move on after a relationship stops being mutually beneficial.
The Mentor: Jill Gilbert, MD
As the Program Director of the Hematology/Oncology fellowship at Vanderbilt, I provide mentorship to several fellows. I may serve as the primary mentor for the fellow, or I may be a member of a "mentorship committee" for an individual. Either way, this relationship proves "sacred" and serves as one of the pillars of my academic life. While many faculty and community physicians serve as mentors, this should not be an obligatory responsibility of any individual as a successful mentor-mentee relationship requires a significant commitment on the part of the mentor. Just as all productive and successful adults are not suited to become parents, not all individuals are suited for the mentoring role, regardless of personal successes within their fields. But what in fact makes a good mentor? Answers to that question often fall under opinion and personal observation, rather than hard data. With that in mind, my own experience as a mentor (and a mentee) has allowed me to identify several tenets that prove critical to my mentor- mentee relationships.
What makes a good mentor?
Altruism/Generosity: This tenet cannot be overemphasized. The mentor must be secure enough in his or her own place in the professional "food chain" that the mentee is allowed to develop his or her own identity within the field and begin to take a leadership role in the shared work. This is the time for the mentee to become the first author on a manuscript, deliver an oral presentation, and develop a professional reputation that is related to, but separate from, that of the mentor. The mentor must be willing to place another individual's needs before his or her own.
Recognize the Mentee's Individuality: The mentee's career goals may not be identical to that of the mentor. For example, my mentee is a fabulous grants writer. She is able to write a scientific manuscript. However, she has discovered that she does not enjoy many of these activities as they relate to therapeutic clinical trials. Despite her talents, she does not want to be a clinical investigator. My role is to discuss her interests, help her find her passions within oncology, and guide her down a path that will allow her to meet her own interpretation of personal success, not my interpretation of success for her. I am committed to her success as she defines it.
Time: Precious and limited, the time required to successfully mentor proves substantial and should be taken into account prior to entering the relationship. Even if the mentor is a Nobel Laureate, constantly traveling and furthering his or her own career leaves little time to devote to an individual who is in the formative stages of a career. See #1, Altruism/Generosity.
How do you build the relationship?
It's critical that both individuals trust that each has the other's best interests at heart. Moreover, transparency of the individual expectations and roles in the relationship remains important for building and maintaining this bond. What do you expect of the mentee? What do they expect from you? Can you trust each other? This discussion should happen at the initiation of the formal relationship. At Vanderbilt, we ask our mentors and mentees to fill out a mentorship agreement, which outlines these issues.
Like a marriage, the mentor-mentee relationship requires nurturing and work. However, the personal gratification can be phenomenal. We can all think of individuals who influenced us to go into oncology. Whether formal or informal relationships, these mentors had an impact on our professional lives, and we now represent the professional guides for a new generation.

good ideas on the floor. It sometimes is awkard as it becomes a give and take relations and mentees expect much more than that can be given!!

Eight Functions Of INEC Every Nigerian Should Know
Do you know that the role of Nigeria's national electoral umpire, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), goes beyond just organizing elections into various political offices in the country?
INEC summarizes its mission this way: "to serve as an independent and effective Electoral Management Body (EMB) committed to the conduct of free, fair and credible elections for sustainable democracy in Nigeria".
Below are eight major functions of INEC as contained in Section 15, Part 1 of the Third Schedule of the 1999 Constitution (As Amended) and Section 2 of the Electoral Act 2010 (As Amended).
They paint a broader picture of the role INEC is to play.
1. Organise, undertake and supervise all elections to the offices of the President and Vice-President, the Governor and Deputy Governor of a State, and to the membership of the Senate, the House of Representatives and the House of Assembly of each state of the federation;
2. Register political parties in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution and Act of the National Assembly;
3. Monitor the organisation and operation of the political parties, including their finances; conventions, congresses, and party primaries.
4. Arrange for the annual examination and auditing of the funds and accounts of political parties, and publish a report on such examination and audit for public information;
READ ALSO: Elections: To Avoid Getting Into Trouble, Remember These Rules
5. Arrange and conduct the registration of persons qualified to vote and prepare, maintain and revise the register of voters for the purpose of any election under this constitution;
6. Monitor political campaigns and provide rules and regulations which shall govern the political parties;
7. Conduct voter and civic education;
8. Promote knowledge of sound democratic election processes; and
Conduct any referendum required to be conducted pursuant to the provision of the 1999 Constitution or any other law or Act of the National Assembly.
The INEC is expected to carry out its functions independently and free from external influence.
INEC also expected to display openness and transparency in all its activities and in its relationship with all stakeholders.
Truthfulness and honesty are expected in all the dealings of the electoral umpire.
Also expected in the affairs of the INEC are credibility and impartiality.
With equity and excellence being part of its core values, the INEC is expected to deliver quality electoral services efficiently and effectively, guided by best international practice and standards.
