Q: Displaying applicable controls with fabric.js With fabric.js how would I go about hiding/displaying controls such as text controls only when text is selected? Right now I have a button that lets someone plug in text, and text editing options, however I don't always want this displayed. Ideally it'd be a pop-over when selected.
Right now, my code is:

// Add image from local
var canvas = new fabric.Canvas('c');
document.getElementById('file').addEventListener("change", function(e) {
  var file = e.target.files[0];
  var reader = new FileReader();
  reader.onload = function(f) {
    var data = f.target.result;
    fabric.Image.fromURL(data, function(img) {
      var oImg = img.set({
        left: 0,
        top: 0,
        angle: 00,

        stroke: '#F0F0F0', //<-- set this
        strokeWidth: 40 //<-- set this
      }).scale(0.2);
      canvas.add(oImg).renderAll();
      var a = canvas.setActiveObject(oImg);
      var dataURL = canvas.toDataURL({
        format: 'png',
        quality: 1
      });
    });
  };
  reader.readAsDataURL(file);
});

// Delete selected object
window.deleteObject = function() {
  canvas.getActiveObject().remove();
}

// Refresh page
function refresh() {
  setTimeout(function() {
    location.reload()
  }, 100);
}

// Add text
function Addtext() {
  canvas.add(new fabric.IText('Tap and Type', {
    left: 50,
    top: 100,
    fontFamily: 'helvetica neue',
    fill: '#333',
    stroke: '#F0F0F0',
    strokeWidth: 1,
    fontSize: 45
  }));
}

document.getElementById('text-color').onchange = function() {
  canvas.getActiveObject().setFill(this.value);
  canvas.renderAll();
};
document.getElementById('text-color').onchange = function() {
  canvas.getActiveObject().setFill(this.value);
  canvas.renderAll();
};

document.getElementById('text-bg-color').onchange = function() {
  canvas.getActiveObject().setBackgroundColor(this.value);
  canvas.renderAll();

  canvas.renderAll();

document.getElementById('text-line-height').onchange = function() {
  canvas.getActiveObject().setLineHeight(this.value);
  canvas.renderAll();
};

document.getElementById('text-align').onchange = function() {
  canvas.getActiveObject().setTextAlign(this.value);
  canvas.renderAll();
};

radios5 = document.getElementsByName("fonttype"); // wijzig naar button
for (var i = 0, max = radios5.length; i < max; i++) {
  radios5[i].onclick = function() {

    if (document.getElementById(this.id).checked == true) {

A: Here's how you could achieve that ...

*

*wrap your text controls with a div element and set the hidden property to make it hidden by default

*add the following mouse events to make the controls show and hide upon text selection and deselection respectively

canvas.on('object:selected', function(e) {
  if (e.target.type === 'i-text') {
    document.getElementById('textControls').hidden = false;
  }
});

Change In Library Management In Santa Barbara County Means Some Will Need Updated Library Cards
By Lance Orozco • May 14, 2019
There's a major change in the works for library service in Santa Barbara County, one which will require some people to update their library cards. The Santa Barbara Public Library will no longer manage the Buellton, Solvang, Los Olivos, and Santa Ynez Libraries. Oversight is shifting to the Goleta Valley Public Library.
It means that library users in the Santa Ynez Valley will have to update their Black Gold Library cards. Black Gold will institute a block on people checking out materials at the Valley libraries starting Wednesday until the customer updates their account.
New cards are available at the Goleta, Buellton, and Solvang libraries.
The Santa Barbara Library will continue to manage the Santa Barbara Central and Eastside Libraries, as well as the Carpinteria and Montecito branch libraries.

By Lance Orozco • Apr 15, 2019
A program intended to get people to turn in their overdue library material and pay their fines with food for the hungry is being called a success in Ventura County. The Ventura County Library System did a "Food for Fines" program at its 12 branches. Library officials say they recovered a number of missing items, forgave nearly $4,000 in fines and collected about 3500 pounds of food.

Criminals suffering from mental illness, alcoholism and drug addiction to be diverted away from prison into compulsory treatment
Criminals suffering from mental illness, alcoholism and drug addiction will be diverted away from prison and into compulsory treatment under a government pilot.
The Ministry of Justice aims to reduce reoffending by replacing "ineffective" short prison sentences with programmes that "will tackle the root causes of criminality".
A judge said the scheme could help "nip in the bud" some of the major causes of crime, as statistics show significant proportions of offenders have mental health problems, or are affected by drug and alcohol addictions.
David Gauke, the justice secretary, has been pushing against the use of short prison sentences amid a crisis driving drug abuse and record self-harm and violence in overcrowded jails.
"We are all clear that we need to do more to support vulnerable offenders in the community," he is to say while announcing the programme in Northampton.
"I want to improve confidence in community sentences, and early evidence from these sites has shown that treatment requirements can have a significant impact in improving rehabilitation and addressing the underlying causes of offending.
"We need to do more to raise awareness and increase confidence in treatment requirements and I look forward to exploring how these sites progress."
Plans drawn up with the NHS, Public Health England and Department of Health are being tested in five areas before the government hopes to roll them out nationwide.
They see psychologists stationed in courts to assess offenders whose crime makes them eligible for a community order, while local panels of judicial and health officials will liaise with magistrates and judges.
The Ministry of Justice said that 29 per cent of offenders currently starting community sentences say they have mental health problems, a third misuse drugs and 38 per cent misuse alcohol. Read more

By the end of December 2017 London-based Barclays PLC had reduced its shareholding in our holding company Barclays Africa Group Limited to 14.9%, allowing us to make some exciting changes.
The first of these is the decision to change our holding company name from Barclays Africa Group Limited to Absa Group Limited, subject to approval from our regulators and shareholders.
This change is happening at a group level and you probably won't notice any change at all, as Barclays Bank Ghana will not change its name immediately. But it is important, because it is the first step in our journey to ultimately having one brand Absa, across all our operations (subject to regulatory approval).
So let's get ready for exciting new possibilities.
What is the Barclays sell-down?
Who owns Barclays Bank now?
Can I expect any other changes when the name of my bank changes?
When will my Barclays Bank become Absa?
Can I still use my Barclays credit and debit cards, cheque book and Barclays digital platforms?
Can I have the same confidence in this new brand as I have in Barclays?


Thus with all of this frothing over playoffs, and having spent another dark, grey, rainy day inside and trying to stay away from le 'Confuzer, I decided to listen to the Seattle Seahawks on the radio who were Up North Eh! In Toronto getting ready to put another can 'O 'Whoopass on the Buffalo Bills en route to making some history.
Perhaps Y'all have heard by now? The Seattle Seahawks became the first team in 62-years to have two consecutive 50-point games - only the third time in NFL history, with the feat being directed by upstart third round rookie Quarter Back Russell Wilson; take that Andrew Luck & RG3; Hya!


You may be sitting on a gold-mine and you don't even know it.
That's what Evan Kimbrell came to realize after listing his place on AirBnb several years ago. Now, using the income from renting his place out in San Francisco he has not only gained freedom from a typical 9-5 job but has also been able to have some amazing adventures around the world.
Read on below for Evan's complete AirBnb story. See exactly how he started out until where he is today and how you can do the same.
At the end, Evan has a gift for you, so make sure you read on through.
Hey, I'm Evan. I'm currently an Airbnb host and the creator of the course "Hacking Airbnb". Currently, I'm the #1 host in San Francisco (1 out of 5000+ listings) and over 3300 students have now taken my course.
Imran asked me to share with you my story and to hopefully inspire some of you reading to follow a similar path on the way to financial freedom.
Interested in learning about Airbnb and wondering if it can work for you? Read on.
People often ask me what I'm doing traveling around the world. The assumption is that I must be a developer, or someone who works overnight from "home". Without so much as a word, people automatically categorize me as a "digital nomad".
This is a buzzword I have grown to dislike.
Everyone who travels must be working on something, right? Well in my case, not really. I'm a host on Airbnb and over the last 2 years I've become quite successful at it.
As I'm writing this right now, my Airbnb in San Francisco is set to pay me $9,556 this month.
My total expenses for the same period, liberally, barely break $3500.
That's a pretty average monthly haul for me. On my best month, I brought in a little north of $11,000 and my worst month traveling around $6000.
So, really, I get paid to simply NOT be in my apartment. That's my job, so to speak.
When I tell people that, I always receive a response in the form of silence. After they process it, usually one person chimes in "I've heard of a couple people who are in a similar situation".
My situation actually isn't even that uncommon. There are people making great passive salaries in almost every city imaginable.
So, that's where I am now. I do work on projects, but I have the choice to work where and whenever I feel like (granted as long as I'm not in my apartment).
If I want to stay in San Francisco, which I do on occasion, I can rent a private room and still pull in around $4500 – $6000.
I've spent the last year alternating between my apartment in San Francisco, impromptu scuba diving trips in Bali, festival hopping in China, and of course spending time with my family back home.
But of course, it wasn't always this way.
About 2.5 years, I moved to San Francisco. At the time, I was running a web studio and my primary income was all project based web development. Being self-employed is and was both a blessing and a curse.
Having no boss meant you could wake up whenever you wanted. It meant you could have a weekday any day you wanted. But it also meant that not only did you have to create every project and every sale from scratch, but that your monthly income could swing wildly and unpredictably.
Well, if you're not familiar San Francisco is effectively the largest HUB for all digital and technological innovation in the United States. I've always been involved in startups; I was once a venture backed founder and then later an associate for a VC firm.
Like so many "startup guys" I gravitated towards the Bay Area. The city was a natural fit but it also had one major drawback.
San Francisco has the most expensive rent in the country.
How much rent are we talking, exactly? Well, As of May 2015, the average 1 bedroom apartment rents for $3100 a month. The average studio costs around $2400 / month.
$3100… for a one… bedroom….
Luckily, this was 2 years ago when the rents were much more reasonable. My 2 bedroom was only $3000 / month (what a steal, right?). Of course, it was only reasonable because I chose to live in an area that makes locals groan when you mention it.
The area is called Fisherman's Wharf and at times it feels more touristy and manufactured than Disney land itself.
Just like any person who immediately regrets the sports car they just impulsively bought, I too had a miniature crisis the day after I signed the lease of my apartment.
How was I supposed to pay this much money every single month? What if I had a bad month? And trust me, there are baaad months when you're self-employed.
Anyone who runs their own show knows what I'm talking about.
Like a backpack, for two months I carried the burden of knowing that my housing could literally make or break my bank account. Not a fun way to live.
I've mentioned this story to quite a few people, and mostly because they, like you, were interested in how I got to where I am now. And its actually BECAUSE I like to tell my story about my rent situation that I even found Airbnb in the first place.
Someone once mentioned to me that I should "throw my living room up on Airbnb" followed by "maybe you can make an extra couple hundred bucks a month".
I thought about it but didn't really take the suggestion seriously.
It actually wasn't until I was trying to schedule a time for my parents to come visit me in San Francisco that I revisited that comment from that anonymous sage. After finding out that hotels in my area cost between $300 – 500 a night, we started looking on AirBnb instead.
I've personally traveled on Airbnb as a guest and in general, have had very positive things to say about it. Usually the normal course of action after you cant find a hotel in any city nowadays is to check out Airbnb.
We checked Airbnb and found that while the prices were considerably better, there were still none in my area that worked.
The opportunity still hadn't donned on me until I was walking back to my apartment that same day. I passed a motel that shares my intersection and just out of curiosity I went in and asked how much a night was.
"$249.99 but we're completely full" the surly woman at the front barked at me.
It was at that point that it clicked. If people are willing to pay $250 for a dumpy motel, surely they could pay $100 to stay at my apartment. $100 a day was after all, what I needed to cover my rent.
I took about a week to finally get my listing up. It could have taken much less time, but honestly I'm a little detail obsessed. I spent days piling over other listings, studying page language, trying to decode the magical Airbnb search algorithm.
As an example of my obsessiveness, I could have taken photos on my phone but as a perfectionist (or at least a "I hate low product quality" –ist) I couldn't do that.
I went to Costco and I bought the fanciest DSLR camera they had. I borrowed a flash attachment bulb that goes onto top of the DSLR and creates a flash effect with your photos.
I knew from previous experience that Costco allows you to return any electronics within 30 days for any reason. I also knew that flash attachments ($30 on Amazon) made rooms look unnaturally bright.
After I put together a game plan and spent an entire weekend roaming around in E-Van picking up and haggling for Craiglist furniture, I published my listing.
I published it around 2 pm, and I set my living room price to $100.
My thought process was "well, I hope I didn't just waste a week of time".
At around 6 pm, I got a text message saying I had a guest inquiry. For that night.
I scrambled, I sweated, and ultimately I pulled everything together for my first guest. The experience was all around pretty fantastic. The guest was a great guy just looking for a crash pad for the night.
Check in went fine (despite having no idea what I was doing) and after a long conversation about the city, the only thing I heard from the guest was when he was checking out saying thank you.
Not only did I make money, but it didn't even feel like work. I got to talk to someone who was interesting and talk about the city that I really starting to enjoy so much. And all I did is let them use my spare bedroom.
The month I first started was completely scattershot as I had inquiries, and then had inquiries disappear. I found out all the amenities I was lacking and all the amenities no one cared about.
Generally, I'm tied to my phone, so I was able to lock in some bookings before the guests could get responses elsewhere. I didn't meet my rent but I managed to cover half.
The next 12 months started an ongoing journey of experimentation, trial, and error. Some things worked well (for example, using virtual assistants for better response coverage) and some things flopped (for example, setting up referral networks with other Airbnbs).
I've played with fancy locks, response times, concierge services. I created a web scraper to help make my pricing more dynamic. I've played around with my response text, tried adding doors in my living room, and in a hypomanic fit painted one of my guestroom walls with whiteboard paint.
After 2 years, I've had close to 200 guests come in and out of my doors. My income from the first month on rose consistently until I was 2x my rent from just my living room. Success.
Some guests have been great; some have been less great. I've experienced just about every positive thing that can happen and just about every negative thing. Fortunately, I've learned from everything and created a system to manage everything.
From the first year on, my property operated on auto-pilot. If I could go back in time, I could have gotten to this point within 2 months instead of 12. But such is life.
The "rent" burden had been lifted.
The first year I spent unmolested by the idea of rent was a year I've done some of my best work in.
Currently, I'm about 2 years into my Airbnb story. Like the nerd I am, I have probably tested over 100 different variables on my listing and come up with an equal number of techniques for getting the most out of my listing and my guests.
Initially, I thought my luck was limited to San Francisco but have since helped launch 4 other properties that have also blown their profit expectations out of the water. One in Buenos Aires, Baltimore, Oakland, and even a town of 100k people in Kansas.
While the potential revenue in smaller cities / towns isn't as high, the ability to get bookings and still make money on your rent or mortgage is always there. I've now seen profitable and well-run listings pop up all over the US and the world.
Just within this year, another friend brought to my attention online courses and specifically the platform Udemy, which has been my main pre-occupation for the last few months.
Just as a fun way of getting into the groove of online course production, I decided to create a course that compiled everything I knew and could teach about AirBnb, including a much more in depth version of this story.
Being a perfectionist, again, I spent entirely TOO much time on my course and as a result have created a 15 hour behemoth of lectures, how-tos, dialectics, and resources.
I've received 47 5-star reviews, over 3300 students enrollments, and have been featured multiple times by Udemy. The profit to effort ratio from my course has been abysmal, which is fine, as it's more of something I enjoy doing.
The lack of ROI hasn't deterred two copycat courses from popping up, but I take that as a sign that I'm doing something right.
All in all, Airbnb has been a life changer for me. I've been able to visit 7 countries over the last 2 years with all expenses paid.
I've been able to fly back for Christmas, AND Thanksgiving.
I'm no longer forced to take clients that I don't want simply because I need the money. I can take time to work on things that don't make money but that I enjoy, like my course.

potentially one of the most damaging pieces of spyware because of the potential financial dangers and theft of personal information.
Potentially the most costly spyware. Modem hijackers are also referred to as diallers. Diallers normally install themselves to your computer via a virus infection or from warez, mp3 or adult websites. A dialler is a small piece of software that will dial long distance, premium rate phone numbers when you're not at your PC. These phone numbers are normally for adult chat line services located in Russia, China, South America and the Phillipines. I have personally seen unlucky victims receive 2,000 bills for one month of telephone calls.
Thankfully several responsible companies have made it their mission to help eradicate the menace of spyware. You'll need 2 3 programs to remove spyware from your PC. The first of these is Ad Aware which is a free download. The second application is Spybot Search and Destroy which is also a free download. Last but not least I'd recommend also getting yourself a copy of CrapCleaner 1.0. These applications can only remove the spyware already on your PC they cannot protect your PC from being cluttered with new spyware.
How do you stop spyware infesting your PC?
2. Install firewall software. This is absolutely critical for Broadband or Highspeed users. All computers connected to the Internet today should have firewall software installed regardless of your connection speed.
If you'd like more information on fighting spyware drop by www.affiliateadvocate.com for our spyware fighting guide.

Blog Post 8 Interesting Facts About New Zealand Wildlife
8 Interesting Facts About New Zealand Wildlife
New Zealand is a Pacific island nation that is known for its stunning natural beauty, as well as its unique flora and fauna. One of New Zealand's most famous and well-known native animal is the kiwi. However, there are many other curious critters to learn about. Here are a few examples of why New Zealand's wildlife is unlike that of anywhere else in the world.
There Are Hardly Any Native Land Mammals
Two endangered species of bat, the long-tailed bat and the lesser short-tailed bat, are the only living land mammals native to New Zealand. Long-tailed bats are known to only produce one offspring per year and are located in various regions throughout New Zealand. Comparatively, lesser short-tailed bats are found in very few locations and hunt prey along the forest floor. This is rare to very few bat species, as most hunt prey while flying.
Wondrous Marine Mammals
Aside from bats, marine mammals are the only other native mammals. The New Zealand sea lion or whakahao is the rarest species of sea lion in the world, with a low population of approximately 12,000. They can largely be found along the shores of the Subantarctic Islands.

Pests Out!
Since the settlement of New Zealand by humans, non-native mammals like rats, possums and mustelids have been introduced. These invasive predators threaten New Zealand's delicate ecosystem. They have been linked to the extinction of dozens of native species. The country has announced an ambitious plan to rid itself of all invasive pests by 2050.
Time Flies, Unlike These Birds
New Zealand doesn't just lack native mammals — it is devoid of native land predators in general. With other birds their only predators, prehistoric birds found safety on the ground. And with tiresome flying no longer a priority, they gradually evolved to be flightless. As a result, New Zealand has 16 species of flightless birds: more than any other country. This includes, among others, three species of penguin and five species of kiwi. Flightless birds are particularly threatened by invasive species. This has led to the loss of their natural habitats, emphasizing the importance of conservation efforts.
Avian Giants
Another odd feature of island evolution is the phenomenon of island gigantism. This evolutionary quirk occurs when animals develop on islands lacking predators and/or competition. This means they are free to evolve rapidly to unprecedented sizes. In New Zealand, this gave rise to the moa and its only predator, the Haast's eagle. The moa is an emu-like bird of 12 feet in height. It was extinct by 1445, having been hunted by Māori for food. The Haast's eagle, with a wingspan of up to 10 feet, soon went the same way.
The takahē is a flightless bird and the largest living member of the rail family. Discovered by Europeans in 1847 but hunted by Māori for centuries, it was considered extinct by 1898. Then, to everyone's surprise, living takahē were rediscovered in Fiordland in 1948. The striking swamp-hens are now a protected species. With efforts to ensure the growth and continued survival of their populations underway.

Living Dinosaurs
The curious reptile known as the tuatara is the only surviving member of the order Rhynchocephalia. With the rest of whom went extinct 60 million years ago. Tuatara share a common dinosaur ancestor with lizards and snakes. They can live to over 100 years old. Ancient Creepy Crawlies
With over 100 species throughout the country, the wētā is New Zealand's star invertebrate. The giant wētā has been around for 190 million years, and is the world's heaviest known insect, weighing a hefty 70 grams.
Monogamous Kiwis
The endearing kiwi is a rare example of a monogamous species. The birds often mate for life, and kiwi relationships have been known to last for over 20 years. Romantically, kiwi couples sing duets with each other at night, synchronizing their calls with complementary frequencies.

Structure and evolution of the squamate major histocompatibility complex as revealed by two lizard genomes

Frontiers in genetics
BAC sequencing, MHC, comparative genomics, immunity, natural selection, squamata
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is an important genomic region for adaptive immunity and has long been studied in ecological and evolutionary contexts, such as disease resistance and mate and kin selection. The MHC has been investigated extensively in mammals and birds but far less so in squamate reptiles, the third major radiation of amniotes. We localized the core MHC genomic region in two squamate species, the green anole () and brown anole (), and provide the first detailed characterization of the squamate MHC, including the presence and ordering of known MHC genes in these species and comparative assessments of genomic structure and composition in MHC regions. We find that the MHC, located on chromosome 2 in both species, contains homologs of many previously-identified mammalian MHC genes in a single core MHC region. The repetitive element composition in anole MHC regions was similar to those observed in mammals but had important distinctions, such as higher proportions of DNA transposons. Moreover, longer introns and intergenic regions result in a much larger squamate MHC region (11.7 Mb and 24.6 Mb in the green and brown anole, respectively). Evolutionary analyses of MHC homologs of anoles and other representative amniotes uncovered generally monophyletic relationships between species-specific homologs and a loss of the peptide-binding domain exon 2 in one of two gene homologs of each anole species. Signals of diversifying selection in each anole species was evident across codons of , many of which appear functionally relevant given known structures of this protein from the green anole, chicken, and human. Altogether, our investigation fills a major gap in understanding of amniote MHC diversity and evolution and provides an important foundation for future squamate-specific or vertebrate-wide investigations of the MHC.

Same here, just received this email a few minutes before. It is now confirmed that they won't ship any test issues at all.
But sending the 3 first issues of the full release for free is a move that I appreciate.
I'm not sure. I was going to move out of partworks purley because of the high end cost and also because my newsagent is stopping them.
I promised myself that the Jag and DeLorean was going to be the last!
I am going to have to subscribe and I think that it will be about 28 months at £36. While I realise that these are unique, 120 weeks is just too long and I think they are now milking it. The Delorian parts now we are at over 100 are very few with the delivery and you are adding about 1 part to the car every week!
I am all at value for money, and I think that these have ceased to be value for money now, so sadly I won't be joining in as I can get far more plastic kits with that money and travel that bit more!
People have complained about the 1/32 Lancaster RRP being at £399.99 here in the UK (Street price being around £350) I can get nearly 3 Lancs with that amount of money!!!
Confirmed! My newsagent contacted his supplier and the information is correct.
It gets the full release and the first issue will be out on 20 February 2019!!!
I signed up for the test but no issues were ever sent. They told me that I would get the first four parts free - shall see if that turns out to be true.
As for the price, well partworks are not cheap but usually represent things that can not be obtained elsewhere. A full size endo-skeleton was in the USA for $8000 so on that basis a 1/2 size one for just over a grand will be a bargain.
If there is another option then let us know.
I'm really glad this is getting released. As far as cost goes, its comparable to other half scale models, but the cost will be spread out for us.
I don't think it's too overpriced, especially for a partwork. A quick google showed a 1:2 Exo for just under $2000 which actually comes to more in £ than the Hachette. Obviously could have been different materials.

With the edge of her wrapper, Bola wiped off beads of sweat running through her forehead. Outside the shade under which she sat with her colleagues, the afternoon sun shone with fury.
Bola had peeled cassava tubers for more than two hours before PREMIUM TIMES' reporter arrived her mother's shop in Ilaro, a community in Ogun state, she said.
Together with her younger ones, she explained that she would peel two baskets of cassava tubers before dusk. On two occasions in the past, one of her coworkers had her fingers cut during the activity, she lamented.
"It's very tedious but once you finish peeling the cassava, the process becomes easier," she explained, forcing a bland smile, her knife carefully placed by the side of the cassava basket.
She would soon be joined another worker.
Like many communities across Nigeria, the business of cassava processing is widespread among residents and indigenes of Ilaro. While many people process the crop into garri, Nigeria's popular household food staple, others produce fufu––another delicacy- from it.
Cassava is produced in at least 30 out of the 36 states that make up the Nigerian federation, according to data from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS).
With over 47 million metric tonnes per hectare, Nigeria is regarded as the largest producer of cassava across the globe.
Untapped Money Spinner: In 2017, a professor at the University of Port Harcourt, Aloy Ezirim, lamented that Nigeria could earn billions in foreign currency from cassava tubers it produces annually if things are done right.
Mr. Ezirim argued that rather than producing for household consumption alone, Nigeria could support cassava processors to produce in industrial scale and export.
Most of the world's population relies on plant-based diet, food and agriculture experts said, adding that over 800 million people worldwide depend on cassava for food.
"There are I think over 35 varieties of cassava in use," said Yemi Ajao, a student of the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta.
Mr Ajao added that cassava is processed in many processing centres across Nigeria because the produce has numerous application for food production, including local staples like fufu, garri, lafun, starch, tapioca, pupuru, among others.
Despite its potential, a huge population of people involved in cassava processing in Nigeria especially at the grassroots still make do with manual means of processing the farm produce.
PREMIUM TIMES' findings show that they cannot produce on industrial scale due to a number of concerns.
Laborious Processing: The process of having cassava converted into other food staples, as PREMIUM TIMES findings in Ilaro showed, is still largely laborious across the numerous stages involved among grassroots cassava processors.
Findings confirm that it is still largely the same in many parts of the country.
In Ilaro, 'Bola's mother, who declined to have her name in print, however told PREMIUM TIMES the means adopted by most local cassava processors at the grassroots is not as cumbersome and laborious as it appeared.
"No, it is not laborious like that," she said in her native Yoruba. She then takes her time to explain the four-day long process.
"If it's fufu you intend to process, once you cut the cassava, you pour it in a drum and leave it for three days, mixed with water. By the third day, it would have become easy to process. Then you sieve the water, rinse the cassava and pour in fresh water. You may also leave it for another day afterwards.
Bola on her part explained that the process involved in fufu production is quite different from garri because, according to her, it is less cumbersome.
Like most women who spoke with PREMIUM TIMES in Ilaro, 'Bola said she has never been exposed to modern machineries that could ease cassava processing but the old mechanised method her mother adopts is not entirely bad.
She said, "If it's garri you want to process, you take the cassava to the machine for grinding, put in rinsing machine––known as 'Korokoro' in Yoruba–– and you wait till the third day.
Modern Technique: But Wale-Joseph Dare, an Osun-based engineer who deals in setting up cassava processing factory, machinery fabrication, installation, and training, told PREMIUM TIMES the manual process is counterproductive.
He explained that the modern means of processing cassava is easier "by a mile" when compared to the laborious means employed by most local processors.
"You don't really need much labour and you can process large quantity at a batch," he explained. According to him, the number of days it requires may remain same, the process is much less cumbersome and the quantity produced is far higher.
He explained that there are machines that could be deployed at each stage of processing, from peeling cassava tubers through grating to frying.
At a mini factory in Abeokuta, Ogun state capital, he told PREMIUM TIMES there are various machines that could ease the laborious process across the stages: grating machine, frying machine, hydraulic presser, among others.
"When the skin of the cassava is hard, it peels just 70 to 80 per cent," he said of the peeling machine. "But when it is soft, it peels 95 per cent.
Although Mr. Dare said there is no average production figure, the machines could help process between five to 20 bags of cassava tubers or more per day–––far higher than the manual process which requires huge number of people who may produce less than five bags, on the average.
Easy but expensive: When probed on why most grassroots processors do not adopt the modern process, Mr. Dare said it is expensive to run and many local processors would not be able to afford it.
He added that the modern means remains the only way interested investors can produce in large quantity.
At Isale Hossanah area of Ilaro, off the link road that leads to the Federal Polytechnic, Ilaro, PREMIUM TIMES observed that the basins inside which the cassava is poured are relatively exposed to flies and other germs, raising questions around how hygienic the traditional process is.
Mr. Dare said one major advantage of the modern processing machines is the hygienic condition under which the cassava is processed. Unlike the traditional means, one can ensure the processing is done with some measure of hygiene, he said.
'Weapon Of Poverty Alleviation': In March 2017, Audu Ogbeh, Nigeria's agriculture minister, said cassava remained one major crop that helps fight poverty in Nigeria.
Speaking at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) in Ibadan, Mr Ogbeh said the crop can be processed into multiple end-products that could help people earn good income.
Represented by the director of Root and Tubers at the ministry of agriculture, Olusegun Ayeni, the minister said cassava could be processed into garri, fufu and other food just as the nation has experienced increase investments in cassava processing such as flour, ethanol and starch.
When in February 2017 details emerged that Nigerians were consuming "Indian Garri" said to have been imported into the country, many commentators were alarmed.
Given the quantity and quality of cassava the nation produces, experts said Nigeria had no business importing cassava end-products.
As part of its diversification policies, in recent years, the Nigerian government has shown considerable interest in agriculture, with focus on rice and cassava farming.
There have been trainings to develop manpower just as there have been policies and initiatives––like the International Fund for Agricultural Development-Value Chain Development Programme, IFAD-VCDP––directed at supporting local farmers and cassava processors.
In 2017, the National Programme Co-ordinator of the IFAD-VCDP, Ameh Onoja, said the programme has increased the productivity and income levels among rice and cassava producers, processors and marketers nationwide.
Aside supporting farmers, he said, the programme has provided and constructed feeder roads leading to its clusters. He listed the six participating states to include Anambra, Benue, Ebonyi, Niger, Ogun and Taraba states.
The objective, he said, was to enhance on a sustainable basis the income and food security of poor rural households engaged in the production, processing and marketing of rice and cassava in the targeted local government areas in the participating states.
In June, IFAD said it trained 250 cassava and rice farmers on entrepreneurial skills in Ogun state.
Similarly, the Bank of Agriculture also provides loans to support the agricultural value chain through micro-credits to poor people from villages as well as technical support for rural dwellers.
But local processors who spoke to PREMIUM TIMES said the challenge with most government initiatives is the inability of those at the lower rung of the value chain to access these benefits.
"Often, it is difficult to access government's programmes and benefits because officials find it difficult to locate many cassava processors in villages and local communities," she explained.
She added that a few government officials have come up with training and empowerment schemes which sought to improve their businesses in the past but they will need to do more, especially in human capacity development.
Wasted Wealth?: Last January, the national president of Nigeria Cassava Growers Association (NCGA), Segun Adewumi, said that cassava can trigger massive industrial revolution that will earn Nigeria over N20 trillion yearly.
"Cassava is actually the answer to the economic woes of Nigeria," he said, adding that it has five major industrial products namely, ethanol, industrial starch, cassava flour, glucose syrup and sweetener.
These products, he said, are also raw materials for numerous utility items with limitless domestic and export market potentials.
All the nation needs to do is to devote 5 million of the 84 million hectares of the arable land in Nigeria to cassava development and that will yield 200 million metric tonnes of cassava, Mr. Adewunmi argued.
According to him, 200 million MT of cassava will produce 50 million MT of starch while 50 million MT of starch sells for N350, 000 per ton and that will generate N17.5 trillion.
But while local processors of the produce expend energy and days on low quantity of processed products using traditional method, a whole lot of these other items realisable from cassava are lost in the process.
Along Sayedero market in Ilaro, PREMIUM TIMES observed how starch and other end-products realised from cassava are disposed at the side of the road by local processors.
Ignorance and lack of understanding of best practices account for the development, PREMIUM TIMES' findings showed.
"You can only produce garri and fufu from the cassava and nothing else," said Sade, a local cassava processor at Isale Hosanna, the biggest cassava processing hub in Ilaro.
More than two other local processors in Ilaro and Otta, another community in Ogun state, also claimed the major food staples––garri, fufu, poporo, lafun etc––are what could be realised from processed cassava.
In his reaction, Mr. Ajao said the claim is borne out of ignorance and called on government to organise sensitisation programmes to maximise the nation's potential in cassava production.
Mr. Dare, on his part, said the challenge lies in the quality of training and exposure to modern technologies the local cassava processors have.
He argued that the government would need to deliberately educate local farmers and processors on other potential end-products inherent in cassava, beyond the staple food realised from the produce.
Adamson Janet, one of the leaders of cassava processors in Isale Hossanah, corroborated Mr. Dare's argument when she told PREMIUM TIMES the challenge is the 'little exposure' farmers and cassava processors at the grassroots have to modern ways of handling farm produce.
"Most farmers and cassava processors are barely educated and government would need to deliberately target them for orientation," she said in Yoruba.
Way Forward: Mr. Dare said Nigeria will realise its full potential in cassava processing and production when the government ensures that policies are designed to protect local participants in the value chain––from farmers through engineers, processors and other active players.
He also called on the government to support engineers and other people involved in producing technical support in the value chain as most of the materials needed to set up a cassava processing factory are imported.
To support players across the value chain and unleash Nigeria's cassava potential, he said, the government needs to increase patronage and help design "flexible repayment grants, low interest loans, (and) policies banning importation of agro processing machines that could be produced locally".


It can take years to build up a good reputation, and moments to lose it. Reputational risk is the risk of losing money as a result of damage to your and/or your business's reputation. Without reputation it is hard to win work, as everyone knows who has started up their own business.
So what could damage your reputation? Simply getting something wrong – that could be making mistakes at work, intentional wrongdoing, criminal activity or misjudging the relationship with your customer. Some actions are obviously risky, but sometimes acting with the best of intentions can create a situation where you could be at risk of reputational damage. A bad review can be damaging, even if you've done nothing wrong.
It's essential to bear reputational risk in mind when going about your daily business, to avoid opening yourself up to reputational damage. Every job has the potential to go wrong, and working in the correct way will protect you. In general, it's about doing the right thing and behaving in a professional manner at all times. A useful trick is to imagine you are being filmed for a reality TV show – how would your behaviour come across? Would you look like a reliable professional, or could you be open to criticism?
This list of dos and don'ts is designed to help. Jason Simmons of Advance Construction Solutions Ltd came up with the original list, but it's not definitive. There may well be other areas within your own particular trade that should be listed.
We'd hope that, as Which? Trusted Traders, you wouldn't need to be reminded about any of these points. In fact, you might feel that some of the dos and don'ts are so obvious that they don't even need to be mentioned. But Jason assures us that he's witnessed traders getting all of this wrong, and more - and any of these points could damage your business' reputation.
Do arrange with your client in advance how you will access their property.
Don't keep clients' keys overnight.
Why? Keys are a potential problem area. If you're holding keys and the property is broken into or something goes missing, you will automatically be under suspicion – even if it's nothing to do with you.
If you do hold on to keys, ensure you protect yourself by keeping them in a secure location. Hand keys back at night, or post them through the letterbox so you don't have the responsibility of anything happening while you're not there.
Opening up their home to someone is a risk for a customer. Traders need to respect that and treat customers' property with even more care than they would their own. It's easy for traders to overlook how strongly customers feel about their homes and property.
Jason has witnessed traders hiding keys under a brick in the front garden for a colleague, without the customer's knowledge. It only takes one person to see you doing that and the customer's property is vulnerable.
Don't give customers an excuse to doubt the quality of your work by drinking during the working day or turning up for work hungover.
Do accept alcohol as a gift if customers are happy with the outcome of a job.
Why? It may seem obvious not to drink while working, especially when you're driving or operating machinery and the culture of lunchtime drinking is largely a thing of the past. However it does happen. Jason recalls an incident where a customer complained about a contractor's work, in part because the contractor had turned up to the job smelling of alcohol.
Do ensure you have the correct contact details for the building-control officer.
Don't work on projects where the client refuses to use building-control officer, when building regulations are applicable.
Why? If building regulations apply, then you must use the services of either a private surveyor or the council building-control officer. Failing to use their services leaves you liable for any costs arising as a result of using materials or processes that can't be signed off at a later date.
Do accept cash payments. Ensure you check the amount openly, in front of the client, as soon as you receive it to avoid any misunderstandings about the amount paid. Once you have counted and confirmed the amount, issue a signed and dated receipt for the cash immediately.
Don't remove VAT from client's cash payments. If a customer asks you to do this, remind them it's illegal and you would risk criminal charges if you did so.
Why? Counting cash in the presence of your customer might appear over cautious, but it makes sense. Accepting a customer's word for the quantity handed over means you have no proof if you later find they have made a mistake – it will be your word against theirs.
At times, even banks can make mistakes. Jason recalls an occasion where the bank claimed it had issued £1,000 in a sealed envelope, having weighed the notes, but there was only £900 there. It turned out the notes were dirty and the weight of the dirt caused the counting machine to malfunction.
Best practice is to sit down together, remove all other paperwork from the area, and count out the notes with your customer. Then send them an email to acknowledge receipt, and check they've received the email.
Removing VAT from a cash payment is illegal. VAT evasion can be prosecuted as either a civil or a criminal offence. Once you've got a conviction, you have to declare it on any future DBS checks, job applications and mortgage applications, and it will rule you out from working in particular environments.
It's difficult to deal with individuals who expect you to reduce your rates because they're paying in cash. If you need the work, you can appease your customer and avoid breaking the law by accepting a lower level of payment and then working the VAT back into the invoice later.
Do communicate any changes to the timings, nature of the work, people and processes involved to your customer.
Don't expect customers to mind read. Keep them up to date with progress.
Why? Changing a job's start time is a real bugbear for customers. It's also a potential litigation area – if you commit to start on a Monday and are two days late, your customer could claim loss of earnings.
While that would be an extreme reaction, it's always best to keep the lines of communication open.
Do enquire from your client if they will be present during your working day. Plan your day around their movements.
Don't work alone in homes with children. You would be liable if anything were to happen to the child. If a client indicates they are going out, leaving their child unattended, that is your cue to go and collect materials or have a break.
Why? The more people who are present while you're working, the more you're exposed to risk. If someone is injured as a result of your presence, for example by tripping over your tools, you could be liable for compensation. It's always a good idea to plan work when customers are not there.
Customers often ask if it's OK to leave a child in the house with you, maybe for five minutes while they go to the local shop. While it's great that they trust you, it's not appropriate for you to take on that responsibility. They would not normally leave their child with someone they've known for only a few hours or days, who doesn't have childcare qualifications. It exposes you to the possibility of later accusations, and if something were to go wrong – the child falls or chokes on a toy, for example - you would be held responsible.
Do remember that your invoice counts as a legal contract. The details need to be correct.
Don't change customers' names or address on invoices. Altering the details of where you have carried out work, for example from a home to a business address to allow customers to claim back costs, is illegal and could leave you open to charges of fraud.
Why? A lot of people work from home, are self-employed, are landlords or have different business and home addresses, and will ask you to alter details on an invoice so they can claim back the cost through their company. This is illegal. An invoice is a legal contract, and all details must be correct.
You don't want to get into a confrontation with your customer about this. It can help if you point out that other bits of paperwork – delivery address, delivery notes, quotes etc – are all linked up in your system, so it's not possible to change the address.
Do check that any work you do meets with appropriate planning regulations.
Don't work on new builds or extensions that have not gained planning consent.
Do ensure you understand the designs you are working to. If in doubt, ask.
Don't work on extensions or new builds without a design unless you work with a design service.
Do be polite and friendly but respect your client's privacy and space.
Don't discuss politics or religion; give health, financial or relationship advice; or make jokes about former jobs.
Do keep your professional and personal life separate.
Don't borrow any personal property, or bring your pets or children to customer's houses.
Do ask your clients to remove important, fragile and valuable items from working areas before starting a project.
Don't assume your client complied with your request. Check with them that they have moved any breakable items before beginning work. Once you're sure the area is relatively clear, cover everything in the vicinity. Twice!
Why? This is a no-brainer. You would have to pay for any damage, plus you'd never get invited back and risk bad reviews if you don't protect customers' property.
Do bring everything you need for the job with you.
Don't ever borrow tools from a customer. You will be liable if something goes wrong.
Why? Never borrow tools from the customer. This opens up questions about liability in the event of an accident. There has been more than one incident where a trader borrowed a ladder from a customer, fell off it and sued the customer. Protect yourself and avoid unpleasant situations like this by not borrowing tools.
Do notify your client if you find there is extra work that needs doing, as a result of your current project.
Don't start any jobs in addition to your original contracted work before getting written confirmation of agreement from your customer. Either ask your client to email a job request or email them the details of extra jobs and ask them to send a reply to confirm their agreement.
Why? It's very common for extra aspects to a job to appear once work has started. Regular complaints from customers and traders highlight that this is a real problem area. Without having extra jobs agreed in writing, it's easy for misunderstandings to arise. Read more in our article about why no contract can mean no payment.
Don't try to gain back lost profits with additional jobs you've discovered to make up the loss.
Do notify the client of your under estimate error. Make it clear what you want, allow time for the client to agree. If agreed, revise all paperwork before starting.
Why? In some areas of the building industry, it's an established practice to underestimate the original price of work and then make up your costs by finding extra jobs as you go along. Other people will just miscalculate. In either case, this is not good practice.
Giving an honest quote, which you are then able to stick to, will create more loyal customers than consistently increasing the price of each job you do. If, however, you have underestimated the cost of a job, ensure you notify the customer immediately and explain what has happened, then revise the paperwork and recontract accordingly.
Do locate the electricity, water and gas supply in case of emergency.
Don't shut off gas, water, or electricity without notifying your client and checking that all computers are shut down and nothing is running from the supply.
Do ask permission before charging tools or phones from the client's supply.
Don't use the client's resources for anything unrelated to the job you are contracted to do.
Do be clear about the cost for waste and the responsibility for its removal in your estimate.
Don't leave waste in customers' bins.


As he fought segregation in his native Alabama, the Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth endured bombs, beatings and the constant threat of death in one of the most violent cities of the segregated South.
On Monday, Birmingham said farewell to the Baptist preacher at his funeral, honoring him as a liberator who freed the community and the country from generations of discrimination.
Shuttlesworth was "one of the founding fathers of the New America," who put his life on the line to end segregation and racial discrimination, said Rep. John Lewis of Georgia.
Lewis was joined by pastors and other foot soldiers from the civil rights era who remembered Shuttlesworth as an architect of the movement, a man whose courage and persistence persuaded the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. to come to Birmingham in 1963 to take part in historic protests that drew the eyes of the nation.
That visit helped paved the way for passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and for King to receive the Nobel Peace Prize.
The tributes described a state long synonymous with hate that was forever changed by Shuttlesworth and his fellow clergymen.
He brought international attention to the brutality of legalized discrimination in the South. And for decades after the 1963 campaign, Shuttlesworth continued to fight racial injustice in Birmingham, even after moving to Cincinnati.
Joining the crowd of mourners were members of King's family, along with the Revs. Joseph Lowery, Andrew Young and Jesse Jackson, and the widow of the Rev. Ralph David Abernathy.
Shuttlesworth died Oct. 5 at age 89.
Republican Gov. Robert Bentley spoke frankly to the mostly black audience of mourners about his own experiences with segregation. He grew up on the other side of Jim Crow as a young white man in Shelby County and later as a student at the University of Alabama.
When King took the helm of the Montgomery, Ala., bus boycott in 1955, Shuttlesworth was already in Birmingham trying to start a movement. But hardly anyone was paying attention.
Shuttlesworth was from a small church, and it was easy for local whites to dismiss him as a radical. Until King came to Birmingham, Shuttlesworth couldn't get the national press to recognize his city as the embodiment of the horrors of segregation.
King became the icon of the civil rights movement, overshadowing Shuttlesworth, who was again eclipsed by King again in death.
Though he died nearly three weeks ago, Shuttlesworth's burial was postponed because of last weekend's dedication of the King Memorial on the National Mall, which drew many prominent civil rights figures to Washington.
But Shuttlesworth's record of commitment ranked him among the movement's top leaders.
He survived a Christmas 1956 bombing that destroyed his home, an assault during a 1957 protest, chest injuries when Birmingham authorities turned the hoses on demonstrators in 1963 and countless arrests.
He moved to Ohio to preach at a church in the early 1960s, but returned frequently to Alabama for protests. He came back to live in the Birmingham area after he retired a few years ago.
Friday's funeral was the last in a series of events remembering Shuttlesworth, including a public viewing of his body at the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute, a candlelight vigil and a memorial service Sunday with remarks by Attorney General Eric Holder, the first African-American to hold that position.
