Passersby have been taking a trip down memory lane as demolition work revealed a cross section of the former swimming pool at Temple Park Leisure Centre.
The pool closed in October 2013 and work began to demolish the area in November. The aquablaster water slide, deep end signs and overhead pipes are among the features of the pool visible today as work continues.

Chilean Sea bass is one of my favorite dishes to prepare. Usually, i prepare it using an Asian inspired marinade and papaya salsa. But this is a really versatile fish that can prepared a umber of different ways. I love how soft, flaky and delicate Chilean Sea Bass is and it is a special treat. I understand that it is not the greatest fish from a sustainability point of view, but there is really nothing else out there quite like Chilean Sea Bass.
I decided to prepare the fish simply in a butter and white wine sauce, with fresh heirloom tomatoes, which are just coming into season to showcase the fresh tomatoes alongside the fish. The sauce is really a thrown-together variation on a French classic beurre blanc, but unlike a more traditional Julia Child beurre blanc, the sauce has a lot less butter and is heavier on the white wine component. It is lighter, and in my view, plenty enjoyable for flavorful meal.
To prepare the dish, heat the butter and melt it in the white wine. Preheat the oven at 350 degrees and put the fish on a baking sheet with the heirloom tomatoes and zucchini. Drizzle several tablespoons of the sauce on top of each piece of fish. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon on top. Bake the fish for about a half an hour, until the vegetables are cooked and the fish is nice and flaky. Serve with a bit of the reserved sauce. This is a lovely fresh spring dish that was enjoyed almost as much as my asian-inspired signature Chilean Sea Bass dish.
What a perfect plating of fish! I loved that you incorporated zucchini into this dish - I can't get enough of it during spring!
Sea bass is such a delicious fish. I love it baked or steamed. Yours looks very delicious.
Yum! I love fish.. This recipe looks good!
I love the heirloom tomatoes. They add lovely color to the fish.

Share All sharing options for: Villanova to retire Josh Hart's jersey
Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images
Villanova announced earlier this week that they'll be retiring Josh Hart's jersey on January 19th at halftime of their game against Marquette. Hart, who wore the number 3 in 146 games played for the Wildcats over four seasons, will become the first member of the 2016 national championship team to receive this honor.
Finishing in the top ten in the Big East in points and rebounds, Hart was a core member of that year's team and an integral part of the championship run. He averaged more than 16 points in conference play, leading the Wildcats to the regular season title. Hart scored in double-figures in five of six NCAA tournament games in 2016, including a game high 23 against Oklahoma to send Villanova to the championship game.
The next season, Hart received both conference and national accolades. He was awarded Julius Erving Small Forward of the Year in 2017, the first of three Villanova players to win the award. Hart was also named BIG EAST Player of the Year and received Most Valuable Player of the BIG EAST Tournament honors for the second time after claiming the award in 2015 as well. Villanova won the BIG EAST Tournament in both years Hart was named MVP, with the forward scoring in double-figures in every game in both years. In his final BIG EAST Tournament game, Hart scored 29 points as the Wildcats defeated Creighton to secure the conference championship after winning the regular season title as well.
Hart ranks 10th all time in scoring for Villanova with 1,921 points. He led Villanova in scoring in each of his last two seasons before being drafted in the first round of the NBA Draft. Hart spent two years with the Los Angeles Lakers before being traded to the New Orleans Pelicans, with whom he currently plays.
Hart's number 3 is currently worn by Brandon Slater, and he will be allowed to continue wearing it. Following Villanova tradition, the jersey will be retired while the number will still remain in rotation. Hart will be honored with a plaque at Finneran Pavillion.
Villanova outlasts DePaul, winning 79-64 Collin Gillespie and Javon Freeman-Liberty put on a show in Chicago

As today is the day that an insane amount of people are out participating in one of my all time favorite hobbies… SHOPPING! And uncharacteristically I am home blogging to you all and enjoying this relaxing day home with a beautiful view. Considering that this is the first time in a while that I have slowed down and found a chance to blog, I have seriously missed it these past couple weeks. I hope you all had an amazing Thanksgiving, surrounded by those you love and are blessed to have in your life, as I was fortunate enough to do so.
Anyways, I really love layering and the weather the day these photos were taken definitely allowed me to do so. I've always enjoyed mixing colors and prints and when I was putting this ensemble together I couldn't help my excitement and awe. I picked this coat up a couple years ago and instantly fell in love; I never really liked camel colored coats, as I thought they all looked the same and didn't have much flare, but when I saw this one I completely lost that idea and bought it immediately. The coat gives this outfit such a sophisticated look that I feel is timeless and can be worn with almost anything.
I have a lot of outfits that I can't wait to share with you all! I plan on posting more often now that I am a little less busy and trying to get more organized. I would love to get feedback, so let me know what you guys think!
Next Post Bruck It Up.

Q: Change onClick function for a react component in a loop? I have made a component for a navigation menu which closes and open when clicked
class Panel extends Component {

openNav() {
    // opens the navigation menu
    // changes onClick attribute to closeNav()
}

closeNav() {
    // closes the navigation menu
    // changes onClick attribute to openNav()
}

render () {
    return (

    );
}
}

Is there a way to write openNav() and closeNav() such that they can be called repetitively one after other when clicked?
Also please tell what to pass to onClick attribute in render().

A: You could call your function "toggleNav" and then do something like this:
onToggleNav() {
    this.setState({
        isNavbarOpen: !this.state.isNavbarOpen
    });
}

render () {
    return (

            // I don't know if the div is your navbar or you have a specific navbar component. I just use the component below for demonstration purposes how to use the state then.
            <Navbar
                isOpened={this.state.isNavbarOpen}
            />

    );
}

A: You can use a state variable this.state.open to determine if the menu is opened or closed:
class Panel extends Component {

constructor(props) {
  super(props);

  // You need to bind your functions in the constructor
  this.openNav = this.openNav.bind(this);
  this.closeNav = this.closeNav.bind(this);
  this.onClick= this.onClick.bind(this);
}

openNav() {
    this.setState({open: true});
}

closeNav() {
    this.setState({open: false});
}

onClick() {
  if (this.state.open) {
    this.closeNav();
  } else {
    this.openNav();
  }
}

render () {
    return (

    );
}
}

Getting there: Take Idaho 55 north to Cascade, turn east on Warm Lake Road and follow it 25 miles east to North Shore Lodge and Warm Lake.
Warmer temperatures have made for some tricky fishing conditions on Cascade. There's a layer of snow and slush on top of the ice, and on warmer days, that can mean standing in several inches of water. Waterproof boots are strongly encouraged. Fishing has been slow in most areas, but anglers are having some luck around Sugarloaf Island. Snowmobiles are pretty much a must-have in order to get there, but there have been some nice perch and trout reports from those who make the journey. Call Tackle Tom's at (208) 382-4367 for the latest fishing reports and ice conditions.
There's more than a foot of ice at Magic, and anglers are venturing out on foot, snowmobiles and even four-wheelers. A power auger is a good idea for drilling through such thick ice. The trout are fewer, but good-sized. Perch have been good-sized, too, but the bite has been finicky. The usual assortment of jigs, spoons and baits like worms, marshmallows, PowerBait and mealworms will catch fish. Call West Magic Resort at (208) 487-2571 for the latest updates.
The mild temperatures are making for pleasant fishing on the Boise River, and anglers are taking advantage. Fly and spin fishermen alike are catching plenty of rainbows and a few browns. Spinners, nymphs, live worms and PowerBait are among the most popular choices. One tip to think about for winter fishing on the Boise: It can pay big dividends to try areas between Barber Park and Ann Morrison Park that are tough to access during the summer months because of floater traffic, higher water levels or bank overgrowth. Give it a shot!
Getting there: Idaho Fish & Game stocks rainbow trout between Barker Park and the Glenwood Bridge.

Are Humans Corruptible?


If you are marketing your business on the Internet, or know of someone who is, you may have heard that being on page 1 of a Google, Bing or Yahoo Search Engine Results Page (SERP) can contribute substantially to your sales efforts. Appearing in front of prospective customers while they are actively searching for your products or services greatly increases the likelihood of your business making a sale. It is important to understand the different parts of a search results page to determine how your business can take advantage of each opportunity.
A SERP is a combination of text, images and links that are presented to a user when he/she types a query into a search engine (i.e. Google.com, Yahoo.com, Bing.com).
The user will typically see a listing of links to websites, with descriptions beneath each link to help the user determine the nature of the content that they could find on each website.
A quick glance at a SERP shows that they are predominantly text-based, so small and large companies that appear have an equal chance to catch the attention of users. These text listings are either sponsored listings, local business listings or organic listings.
Sponsored listings appear at the top and right hand side of the SERPs. As the title suggests, businesses pay a fee to appear in these positions. A sponsored listing typically consists of a link and brief marketing description.
Google.com and Bing.com have their own advertising platforms that allow businesses to setup an account for creating text-based advertisements. Once a business sets up an account, it can create ads, determine which keyword search phrases it wants to show ads for, and establish how much it is willing to pay each time a user clicks on its advertisements. By creating an account with one of these services, a business can also have their advertisements appear on other search engines. For example, at the time of this writing, SERPs on Ask.com and AOL.com show Google ads, and SERPs on Yahoo.com show Bing ads.
Once your account is fully set up, your ads can show up in SERPs almost immediately. This is a great way for a business to promote a short-term sale or get to the top of the page. As an advertiser, you can control and customize the message being shown to different users.
Since there are a limited number of ad positions available, search engines make advertisers bid for placement – the more you are willing to pay, the higher on the page you can be. This auction-style system can cause an advertiser to pay a substantial dollar amount for every click on competitive phrases. Constant analysis needs to be performed to ensure wise use of advertising expenditures.
What should my business do about this?
If you want to participate in sponsored listings, start with a small budget and test, test, test. Find out what keywords work best for your business; and how much you can bid on keywords and still receive an acceptable ROI for your advertising spend. In an effort to provide maximum targeting opportunities for advertisers, these platforms have become very complex to navigate. If you don't want the hassle of dealing with the advertising platform, hire a trained professional to run campaigns on your behalf.
When applicable, a SERP can contain a listing of local businesses applicable to a search query. The number and layout of these listings will vary, but typically contain a company name, physical address, phone number and link to company website.
The search engines do not charge a fee to appear in these listings. To improve the user experience, search engines want to display local options for their users looking for select products and services. These listings usually appear near the top of the page, beneath the sponsored listings.
Search engines limit the number of local business listings shown, so all businesses in a given area may not appear. If your business sells products/services in many markets, you can only get exposure in areas where you have a physical location.
Search engines give business owners the opportunity to add descriptions and images to their local business listings for free. This additional information can help your listing appear for more keyword search phrases. If a search engine allows users to submit reviews for businesses, encourage your customers to visit your local business listing and leave a favorable review. Search engines often use reviews as a way to prioritize placement within local business listings.
The positioning of organic listings always appears beneath, and to the left of the sponsored listings. The position relative to the local business listings varies greatly – either above or below depending on how many the search engine wants to display.
If your business is fortunate enough to appear in the organic listings, you can promote your business to interested prospects free of charge. The more keyword phrases that you appear for, the more visitors you can receive and the more sales you can generate. Most users perceive organic listings to be the most reliable source of information on a SERP, making them an excellent marketing resource for a business. Organic listings have been proven time and again to be one of the best resources for marketing a business on the Internet.
Once a dominant presence on a SERP, the organic listings are constantly getting less real estate on the page. Since search engines do not make money from these listings, they are constantly looking for ways to provide more exposure for their sponsored listings. The reduced number of available positions, combined with an increasing number of businesses entering the world of Internet marketing, can make it very difficult to appear in the organic listings. While getting in the organic listings is possible, it can take time for a business get there.
If you want your website to appear in the organic listings, it needs to contain information that is relevant to the keywords that are being searched for regarding your business. This can be accomplished with a combination of targeted marketing copy and website programming (a.k.a. on-site optimization). On-site optimization ensures that your website is relevant, but it is only part of the solution. The greater task at hand is to make your website more popular than your competition. Search engines tend to give priority placement to websites that are popular – if a website is popular, it will likely be a good resource for the search engine user. The best way to make a website more popular is to get people talking about it. In the online world, this can be accomplished by offering something that other website owners want to talk about on their site, and encouraging others to interact with your website (i.e. blog) and your business pages on social media sites (i.e. facebook, Google+, Twitter, LinkedIn).
Off-site promotional efforts will have a greater effect than on-site optimization. For most businesses however, popularity must be earned over time. It takes constant effort to grow and retain popularity for your business online – enough to justify a dedicated employee/team, or the services of an agency.
As a business vying for the attention of prospective customers, you need to occupy as much real estate on a SERP as possible. You should try to achieve a position in each type of listing – subject to your ROI goals. Every position you have is a position one of your competitors doesn't have!

Strictly Come Dancing Semi-Final Sees AJ Odudu And Rose Ayling-Ellis Joint Top Of Leaderboard
AJ Odudu and Rose Ayling-Ellis have placed joint top of the Strictly Come Dancing leaderboard following Saturday night's spectacular semi-final.
The presenter and EastEnders actor both secured a perfect 40 and a score of 39 for their two routines.
At the halfway point, AJ took the lead with her quickstep to Sing, Sing, Sing by Benny Goodman with her partner Kai Widdrington, which was awarded the top mark of 40.
Rose and her partner Giovanni Pernice then received the perfect score for their Argentine tango to A Evaristo Carriego by Eduardo Rovira, which judge Craig Revel Horwood said belonged in the final.
Motsi Mabuse added: "Oh my word, what a statement, for me personally that was the dance of the night, the dance of the month, the dance of the series… I fell in love with all the details, that's it."
For their second dance, AJ and Kai, who landed in the dance-off last week against BBC Breakfast host Dan Walker, performed a rumba to Show Me Heaven by Maria McKee – and received a score of 39 out of a possible 40.
Speaking about their second performance, dancer turned judge Anton Du Beke said he had "rather loved" their routine, and head judge Shirley Ballas said it was "just beautiful".
While it was Rose's first dance that received a 39 when she performed a waltz to Ellie Goulding's How Long Will I Love You, the highest score for that dance of the season.
Craig described it as "one of the most amazing waltzes I have seen".
John Whaite and Johannes Radebe, Strictly's first all-male pairing, placed third after scoring two 39s, one for their emotional couple's choice routine to Adele's Hometown Glory and the other for their energetic jive to Higher Power by Coldplay.
The Bake Off winner dedicated his couple's choice dance to those who supported him when he came out as gay and to the people who "feel a bit afraid in life" and wanted to send a message that it "gets better".
Commenting on his second routine – the jive – Craig said it was "a-m-a-zing", while Motsi said she loved the routine from "beginning to end".
Shirley said John had "simmered, bubbled and boiled" and described the routine as "superb".
CBBC host Rhys Stephenson and his pro partner Nancy Xu came fourth after they received a score of 36 for their tango to Queen's One Vision and 38 for their samba to It Had Better Be Tonight (Meglio Stasera), sung by Michael Buble.
Shirley praised the pair for opening the semi-final with their tango, adding: "You came out on fire. What I was most impressed about is that you're mastering your craft."
The Strictly Come Dancing semi-final results show will air on BBC One and BBC iPlayer at 7:20pm.

Riding The 2020 Kawasaki Ninja 650 ABS KRT, In The March Issue
By Trudy Ulrich
The 2020 Ninja 650's sporty but comfortable riding position, lack of vibration, and excellent seat make it very nice when spending a few hours riding. Photo by Kevin Wing.
Featured In the March 2020 issue of Roadracing World:
It's been more than half a century since Kawasaki built its first 650cc-class Parallel Twin, the W1. That machine was inspired by a British-built BSA that another motorcycle manufacturer had licensed for production in Japan. But the design had evolved, and when the W1 came out, it was the largest displacement Japanese motorcycle to date, and the Society of Automotive Engineers of Japan still refers to that machine as one of the landmarks in the development of Japanese motor vehicle technology.
Therefore, the 2020 version of the Ninja 650 has a lineage, with lines for the Parallel Twin engine configuration that run deep into the roots of Kawasaki's motorcycling endeavors. And while a 650cc Twin is no longer considered a "big" bike, the Ninja is still evolving the formula, with new technology and styling designed to keep the machine relevant into the next decade…
— Bike Intro: 2020 Kawasaki Ninja 650 ABS KRT
Aggressive styling, a solid chassis, a bulletproof engine and updated technology are all part of the new-for-2020 Kawasaki Ninja 650 riding experience. Editor at Large Michael Gougis took the new model for a spin in the mountains around Santa Barbara, and his impressions are in the latest issue of Roadracing World!

J.R. Smith spent a majority of the time following the Cleveland Cavaliers winning the NBA title sans shirt, something that helped showcase his heavily tattooed upper body, creating an indelible image of pure joy in the wake of the team breaking their hometown's decades-long championship drought.
And now, there's a shirt that allows fans to celebrate and share Smith's tatted-up torso, in a manner of speaking.
Smith took to Twitter earlier this week to announce a partnership with a t-shirt manufacturer to create a tee that perfectly represents the plethora of tattoos he sports on his chest and back.
All the wild style and none of the blinding pain. Not too shabby.
The shirt sells for $34.99 and ESPN's Darren Rovell reports on Twitter that it's selling like hotcakes, with Cleveland-based Fresh Brewed Tees claiming over 1,000 in sales in 24 hours.
Smith's shirtless campaign practically overshadowed the entirety of the Cavaliers' rapturous response to winning a championship, highlighted by the fact that President Obama even asked Cavs head coach Tyronn Lue to tell Smith to put a shirt on.
Speaking of which, perhaps Smith can make amends with Obama by shipping him out one of these shirts. Couldn't hurt, right?


The weekends in major cities can be overwhelming-so much to do and see with so little time. In order to make your life a little easier, I've decided to tell you exactly where to be and when, so the only decision you'll need to make is whether you need another beer or should you get a funnel cake. There's a couple different cool fests going on, and some great shows as well, so scroll through here and get ready to party.
We all know that the weekend really starts on Thursday night. Well guess what? There's a fantastic show going on at Chicago Theatre this Thursday! Actor/Comedian/Novelist/Playwright/Banjo virtuoso Steve Martin brings the Steep Canyon Rangers to Chicago along with Edie Brickell, with whom they just released an album. If you dig bluegrass music at all, these guys are amazing. Martin has been playing the banjo for a long, long time but only recently started recording and releasing music. If you haven't heard it yet, check out the groups episode of Austin City Limits. There are still a few tickets left HERE.
Friday night there's only one place to be, and that's Lincoln Park Zoo to see Michael Franti & Spearhead with openers Fort Frances! I've personally never been that into Michael Franti, but I know a lot of people that are. If I were going it would be all for Fort Frances, and they are definitely reason enough to go hang out at a zoo and rage with the baboons. Tickets are still on sale, but I'm guessing they'll be gone before the show. Get yours HERE.
Wicker Park Fest kicks off your Saturday afternoon with great sets by a couple of my favorite local bands. At 2, Dirty Pigeons get things going, and they're followed directly by The Damn Choir! If you don't mind walking a bit you can get over to the other stage to catch Santah after that. And then just stick around and fill your belly with food and alcohol, as Bahamas plays what is sure to be a great set, and closing out the night is Man Man. I've never seen Man Man live, but I saw Honus Honus play keys for Mister Heavenly with Michael Cera on bass at Lincoln Hall, and it was awesome.
If you feel like you've had too much sun and want to get indoors for a while, House of Blues also has a great show Saturday featuring locals Gemini Club and My Gold Mask with headliner Metric. I've seen Gemini Club and met them-super nice guys and really good performers. I never really liked Metric, but I thought their most recent album was pretty good. The show is part of a Red Bull thing where they're hosting a bunch of shows around the country featuring local bands opening for big superstar groups. Kind of a fun thing for them to do.
If you're feeling super ambitious you could get back over to Wicker Park Fest early for Chicago's psych rock band Secret Colours at 3:25. But after your Saturday night of drunken debauchery, it's probably best to stay in bed as long as possible. You should attempt to be up and ready to go in time to catch Brighton MA at 6, though. And then you can refuel with a couple Chicago dogs and 312's before making your way over to the stage that Ted Leo & The Pharmacists are closing out. They're also playing at SubT on Saturday night, but this is free so….yeah. The only time I've ever seen Ted Leo was the night he played at Fireside Bowl a couple years ago-it was like $5 and worth at least five times that.
And that's it! Enjoy your weekend. Please be safe and responsible. Make sure you drink plenty of Gatorade following all this excitment-you're gonna need all the electrolytes you can get to survive Lollapalooza next weekend.

Solid Ground (2018), Then Sings My Soul…Songs for My Mother (2016), Hold My Beer, Vol 1 (2015, with Randy Rogers), Wade Bowen (2014), The Given (2012), Live at Billy Bob's (2010), If We Ever Make It Home (2008), Lost Hotel (2006), Blue Light Live (2003), Try Not to Listen (2002), Just For Fun (2001)
After nine studio albums and a decade-plus of touring, Wade Bowen has amassed a string of regional hits and awards, as well as a passionate fan base. Since Bowen launched his career at Stubb's Barbecue in Lubbock, Texas, he's risen from collegiate greenhorn to the top of the Texas music circuit. Wade's baritone is dense and concentrated, with traces of whiskey and smoke and autumnal warmth. His sound is one hundred percent country, rife with pedal steel and vivid emotion, but it's also music that could easily find a home with fans of Bowen's rock idols – folks like Bruce Springsteen and Jackson Browne. While at school in Lubbock, Bowen began to channel a lifelong love of writing into songs, and when college ended he made two major decisions. He took on the role of solo artist, and he moved to Austin. Try Not To Listen is the album Wade regards as his true debut, the project that kicked off a life and living made of 200-plus nights a year on the road and patient grassroots fan development. He achieved another landmark in 2010, when he was invited to add his name to the roster of great artists who have made a Live At Billy Bob's recording at the iconic club in Fort Worth. In 2014, he released his self-titled album before quickly following up with a joint-project with Randy Rogers, titled Hold My Beer, Vol. 1, in 2015. In 2016, he recorded a gospel album for his mother titled Then Sings My Soul, who deemed it too good not to share with his fans. With the release of yet another studio album Solid Ground in 2018, it's clear that Wade Bowen has no intentions of slowing down! His song swap with Jack Ingram and friends, "806 Crew" and Hold My Beer and Watch this with Randy Rogers has Wade sharing his exceptional talent and voice at many of the MusicFest stages. Plus, Wade's annual MusicFest finale show has become a very popular tradition for many MusicFest artist and fans… ONLY at MusicFest.

Nigeria's Ogonis Divided Over Resuming Oil Production
By Chris Stein – Voice of America, 06 March 2015
KEGBARA DERE, NIGERIA—
Oil once flowed in Ogoniland, as it does from wells throughout the creeks and swamps of Nigeria's Niger Delta region.
But in 1993, the Ogoni people said enough. Leaking pipelines were polluting the fields they farmed and the waterways they fished.
Oil giant Shell was forced to pull out of Ogoniland that year in the face of protests led by the charismatic Ken Saro-Wiwa, head of the Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People, or MOSOP. He was hanged two years later by the military dictatorship that ran Nigeria, in a move widely seen as retaliation for his activism. read more

Published by: Norton

Kiobel v. Shell ruling: serious setback to Ogoni in Niger Delta
The US Supreme Court dismissed a lawsuit against the Royal Dutch Shell Petroleum Company brought by alleged human rights victims. The ruling, which was handed down last Wednesday, is seen as a serious setback for the Ogoni community in the Niger Delta, who alleged gross human rights abuses during the mid-1990s by the military government in power at the time.

Has Shell Unlawfully Resumed Oil Operation In Ogoni?
By Ben Ikari, Director, African Cultural and Fundamental Rights Council (AFCRC-USA): 26 February 2013 Last updated at 08:02 CET
Royal Dutch Shell (RDS) may be set for a serious crisis and bloodletting in Ogoni, Nigeria. Information reaching the African Cultural and Fundamental Rights Council (AFCRC-USA) has it that the oil company, which happens to be the foremost in Nigeria for over 50 years, have been using heavily armed soldiers to clear the Ebubu Eleme oilfield in Ogoni. The corporation is also said to be engaging in other activities villagers believe could be oil extraction against the people's wishes. read more
Self-Government for Ogoni Was Overdue, Says Goodluck Diigbo
PRESS STATEMENT BY MOSOP MEDIA:
MOSOP President/Spokesman, Dr. Goodluck Diigbo has been speaking on the reason for the urgency behind the Ogoni declaration of self-government to enforce the United Nations Declaration on Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
"The urgency behind the declaration is that self-government for Ogoni was overdue in view of many important issues bordering on indigenous rights of the Ogoni people being tampered with now. The UNEP Ogoni Report is one out of many," Diigbo explained.
Diigbo stated that:"The Ogoni declaration of self-government now guarantees the Ogoni people the right to participate in decision-making in all matters which would affect their rights, through representatives chosen by Ogonis in accordance with own procedures, as well as to maintain and develop all our own indigenous decision-making institutions, which we started to set up since 2011." read more

This will be the first time that the Ogoni people will exercise self-determination in almost 111 years.

Kiobel v. Royal Dutch Petroleum Co: Harvard Law School Intervention

British Prime Minister David Cameron Acting Dangerously Against Nigeria
MOSOP STATEMENT ISSUED 28 May 2012
MOSOP President/Spokesman, Dr. Goodluck Diigbo has described British Prime David Cameron's government amicus brief in the Ogoni case of Kiobel v Shell in the United States of America as an ill-advised and short-sighted colonial tactics.
Diigbo said the prime minister's action has deeper implications for destabilizing Nigeria. "What it means is that victims of oil operations that have no way of seeking equity and justice should take the law into their hands instead to use the legitimate judicial process available in the United States for requisite redress against violations by multinational oil companies in which Cameron's government has vested interest," Diigbo explained. read more

Port Harcourt — The Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) shut down its office in Rumoumasi area of Port Harcourt, Rivers State, as hundreds of Ogonis and environmental activists staged a protest at the weekend.

Pres Jonathan, Nigerian Politicians Blocking Ogoni Clean-Up
Of course, $hell has over the years refuted allegations of environmental degradation in Ogoni. The company has nowhere to hide from this environmental catastrophe that is killing Ogonis faster than not. Although my source says $hell is willing to deposit the take-off money, it is also common with the company taking undue advantage of the envy and division, greed and corruption in Nigeria.
Rivers without water
"No Shell person or NNPC has come here in respect of the report. But as I talk to you, they are drilling. The same Nigerian Army and police that are supposed to protect the Nigerian people will carry them to go and put more benzene (into the environment). If we take laws into our hands, you hear (restiveness) and violence." The accusations have been put before Shell in an email for weeks, but the company did not respond.

MOSOP Welcomes EU – U.S. Call for Restoration of Ogoni Environment
STATEMENT BY MOSOP MEDIA 1 December 2011 21:26:50 GMT
MOSOP President/Spokesman, Dr. Goodluck Diigbo today welcomed the indication of interest by the E.U. – U.S. economic blocs in the immediate environmental restoration of Ogoniland, but described the blocs' list of parties for engagement as one-sided; as it excluded the victims – the Ogoni people.
Dr. Diigbo was reacting to online report by leadership newspaper of December 1, 2011 quoting an E.U. – U.S. statement issued in Washington D.C. urging "the Government of Nigeria to follow up on the UNEP report on Ogoniland, to remedy the critical health and environmental problems facing this region and to further engage the oil companies and the international community on this issue." read more


The mission of Tome Student Literacy Society is to promote multiple literacies among 4th-12th grade students across the United States through: service; collaboration; competition-based club activities; and clean, entertaining, encouraging literature.
Tome Student Literacy Society (Tome Society) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in North Georgia. Tome Society provides student competitions; an annual It List of clean, entertaining, and encouraging children's and young adult literature; book club activities; curriculum materials for educators; and an annual conference for both students and educators. All activities promote self-esteem, leadership skills, strong values, and nurture critical thinking, creativity, and imagination in the digital age.
The TGES chapter of Club Tome will read books outside of school and meet one Tuesday each month after school from 3:00 – 4:30 to discuss our reading and do activities associated with our books. Students must be picked up in front of the School by 4:30. Students not picked up by 4:30 will be sent to our Afterschool Program.
In order to provide Club Tome Society members with physical copies of their book each month, we are requesting a $30 membership fee to help offset the cost of books and activities. This fee does not cover the total cost for each member of our club so the TGES Media Center will cover the difference.


Jesus Culture's Bryan & Katie Torwalt released a five-song album, Praise Before My Breakthrough, available everywhere today. This project is a collection of songs that are geared to minister to hearts in every season of life carrying the hope and love of God, while sharing moments of struggle that are relatable to all. These songs are prayers turned into songs that were birthed in the middle of a trying season. Without waiting for God to reveal all of the answers, Bryan and Katie invite us into the middle of the journey.
"These songs were all written or finished during this last season of life," shared Bryan & Katie. "They were our prayers and decelerations as we were learning to praise while dealing with fear and anxiety in the middle of an extremely difficult pregnancy, the birth of our beautiful baby girl and navigating parenthood for the first time. It feels like a journey that God has had us on for awhile, and we finally began to get language for it along the way. This is us in the middle of it all, leaning in to God's heart and voice, trusting in His love and goodness."
The title track is a powerful declaration of the unfailing truth that God is good, even before breakthrough comes. By reminding us that lies and fear will crumble in the weight of His presence, Bryan and Katie bring us into their personal walks with God through songs on the project like "Prophecy Your Promise" and "Be With Me."
"Songs have always marked seasons of life for us," they explain. "Given us language in the middle of the process, and a light to mark the path in the middle of the journey. These songs are a collection of our prayers, declarations and melodies that we sing over ourselves on a daily basis. The beginning of an unraveling and the documentation of praising through a season."

The 25 greatest movies in Simpsons history
By RYAN STEWART | July 25, 2007
On July 25th, The Simpsons Movie will hit theatres. But throughout the show's 18-years-and-counting run (and think about that for a second: kids who were born when the show debuted are now about to be freshmen in college), the family has more than its share of experience with the cinema. Here, then, are the 25 best "movies" in the show's history, excluding actual films that existed in our universe as well. (Screenshots via Duffzone.org; links go to YouTube.)

Calculate the income elasticity of demand and the cross-price elasticity of demand
Calculate the elasticity in labor and financial capital markets through an understanding of the elasticity of labor supply and the elasticity of savings
Apply concepts of price elasticity to real-world situations
The basic idea of elasticity—how a percentage change in one variable causes a percentage change in another variable—does not just apply to the responsiveness of supply and demand to changes in the price of a product. Recall that quantity demanded (Qd) depends on income, tastes and preferences, the prices of related goods, and so on, as well as price. Similarly, quantity supplied (Qs) depends on the cost of production, and so on, as well as price. Elasticity can be measured for any determinant of supply and demand, not just the price.
The income elasticity of demand is the percentage change in quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in income.
[latex]Income\;elasticity\;of\;demand = \frac{ \%\;change\;in\;quantity\;demanded }{ \%\;change\;in\;income }[/latex]
For most products, most of the time, the income elasticity of demand is positive: that is, a rise in income will cause an increase in the quantity demanded. This pattern is common enough that these goods are referred to as normal goods. However, for a few goods, an increase in income means that one might purchase less of the good; for example, those with a higher income might buy fewer hamburgers, because they are buying more steak instead, or those with a higher income might buy less cheap wine and more imported beer. When the income elasticity of demand is negative, the good is called an inferior good.
The concepts of normal and inferior goods were introduced in Demand and Supply. A higher level of income for a normal good causes a demand curve to shift to the right for a normal good, which means that the income elasticity of demand is positive. How far the demand shifts depends on the income elasticity of demand. A higher income elasticity means a larger shift. However, for an inferior good, that is, when the income elasticity of demand is negative, a higher level of income would cause the demand curve for that good to shift to the left. Again, how much it shifts depends on how large the (negative) income elasticity is.
A change in the price of one good can shift the quantity demanded for another good. If the two goods are complements, like bread and peanut butter, then a drop in the price of one good will lead to an increase in the quantity demanded of the other good. However, if the two goods are substitutes, like plane tickets and train tickets, then a drop in the price of one good will cause people to substitute toward that good, and to reduce consumption of the other good. Cheaper plane tickets lead to fewer train tickets, and vice versa.
The cross-price elasticity of demand puts some meat on the bones of these ideas. The term "cross-price" refers to the idea that the price of one good is affecting the quantity demanded of a different good. Specifically, the cross-price elasticity of demand is the percentage change in the quantity of good A that is demanded as a result of a percentage change in the price of good B.
[latex]Cross-price\;elasticity\;of\;demand = \frac{ \%\;change\;in\;Qd\;of\;good\;A }{ \%\;change\;in\;price\;of\;good\;B }[/latex]
Substitute goods have positive cross-price elasticities of demand: if good A is a substitute for good B, like coffee and tea, then a higher price for B will mean a greater quantity consumed of A. Complement goods have negative cross-price elasticities: if good A is a complement for good B, like coffee and sugar, then a higher price for B will mean a lower quantity consumed of A.
The concept of elasticity applies to any market, not just markets for goods and services. In the labor market, for example, the wage elasticity of labor supply—that is, the percentage change in hours worked divided by the percentage change in wages—will determine the shape of the labor supply curve. Specifically:
[latex]Elasticity\;of\;labor\;supply = \frac{ \%\;change\;in\;quantity\;of\;labor\;supplied }{ \%\;change\;in\;wage }[/latex]
The wage elasticity of labor supply for teenage workers is generally thought to be fairly elastic: that is, a certain percentage change in wages will lead to a larger percentage change in the quantity of hours worked. Conversely, the wage elasticity of labor supply for adult workers in their thirties and forties is thought to be fairly inelastic. When wages move up or down by a certain percentage amount, the quantity of hours that adults in their prime earning years are willing to supply changes but by a lesser percentage amount.
In markets for financial capital, the elasticity of savings—that is, the percentage change in the quantity of savings divided by the percentage change in interest rates—will describe the shape of the supply curve for financial capital. That is:
[latex]Elasticity\;of\;savings = \frac{ \%\;change\;in\;quantity\;of\;financial\;savings }{ \%\;change\;in\;interest\;rate }[/latex]
Sometimes laws are proposed that seek to increase the quantity of savings by offering tax breaks so that the return on savings is higher. Such a policy will increase the quantity if the supply curve for financial capital is elastic, because then a given percentage increase in the return to savings will cause a higher percentage increase in the quantity of savings. However, if the supply curve for financial capital is highly inelastic, then a percentage increase in the return to savings will cause only a small increase in the quantity of savings. The evidence on the supply curve of financial capital is controversial but, at least in the short run, the elasticity of savings with respect to the interest rate appears fairly inelastic.
The elasticity concept does not even need to relate to a typical supply or demand curve at all. For example, imagine that you are studying whether the Internal Revenue Service should spend more money on auditing tax returns. The question can be framed in terms of the elasticity of tax collections with respect to spending on tax enforcement; that is, what is the percentage change in tax collections derived from a percentage change in spending on tax enforcement?
With all of the elasticity concepts that have just been described, some of which are listed in Table 6, the possibility of confusion arises. When you hear the phrases "elasticity of demand" or "elasticity of supply," they refer to the elasticity with respect to price. Sometimes, either to be extremely clear or because a wide variety of elasticities are being discussed, the elasticity of demand or the demand elasticity will be called the price elasticity of demand or the "elasticity of demand with respect to price." Similarly, elasticity of supply or the supply elasticity is sometimes called, to avoid any possibility of confusion, the price elasticity of supply or "the elasticity of supply with respect to price." But in whatever context elasticity is invoked, the idea always refers to percentage change in one variable, almost always a price or money variable, and how it causes a percentage change in another variable, typically a quantity variable of some kind.
[latex]Income\;elasticity\;of\;demand = \frac{\%\;change\;in\;Qd}{\%\;change\;in\;income}[/latex]
[latex]Cross-price\;elasticity\;of\;demand = \frac{\%\;change\;in\;Qd\;of\;good\;A}{\%\;change\;in\;price\;of\;good\;B}[/latex]
[latex]Wage\;elasticity\;of\;labor\;supply = \frac{\%\;change\;in\;quantity\;of\;labor\;supplied}{\%\;change\;in\;wage}[/latex]
[latex]Wage\;elasticity\;of\;labor\;demand = \frac{\%\;change\;in\;quantity\;of\;labor\;demanded}{\%\;change\;in\;wage}[/latex]
[latex]Interest\;rate\;elasticity\;of\;savings = \frac{\%\;change\;in\;quantity\;of\;savings}{\%\;change\;in\;interest\;rate}[/latex]

That Will Be How Much?
How did the 60% price increase in 2011 end up for Netflix? It has been a very bumpy ride.
Before the price increase, there were about 24.6 million U.S. subscribers. After the price increase, 810,000 infuriated U.S. consumers canceled their Netflix subscriptions, dropping the total number of subscribers to 23.79 million. Fast forward to June 2013, when there were 36 million streaming Netflix subscribers in the United States. This was an increase of 11.4 million subscribers since the price increase—an average per quarter growth of about 1.6 million. This growth is less than the 2 million per quarter increases Netflix experienced in the fourth quarter of 2010 and the first quarter of 2011.
During the first year after the price increase, the firm's stock price (a measure of future expectations for the firm) fell from about $300 per share to just under $54. In 2015, however, the stock price is at $448 per share. Today, Netflix has 57 million subscribers in fifty countries.
What happened? Obviously, Netflix company officials understood the law of demand. Company officials reported, when announcing the price increase, this could result in the loss of about 600,000 existing subscribers. Using the elasticity of demand formula, it is easy to see company officials expected an inelastic response:
[latex]\begin{array}{r @{{}={}} l} & \frac{-600,000 / [(24\;million + 24.6\;million) / 2]}{\$6 / [(\$10 + \$16) / 2]} \\[1em] & \frac{-600,000 / 24.3\;million}{\$6 / \$13} \\[1em] & \frac{-0.025}{0.46} \\[1em] & -0.05 \end{array}[/latex]
In addition, Netflix officials had anticipated the price increase would have little impact on attracting new customers. Netflix anticipated adding up to 1.29 million new subscribers in the third quarter of 2011. It is true this was slower growth than the firm had experienced—about 2 million per quarter.
Why was the estimate of customers leaving so far off? In the 18 years since Netflix had been founded, there was an increase in the number of close, but not perfect, substitutes. Consumers now had choices ranging from Vudu, Amazon Prime, Hulu, and Redbox, to retail stores. Jaime Weinman reported in Maclean's that Redbox kiosks are "a five-minute drive for less from 68 percent of Americans, and it seems that many people still find a five-minute drive more convenient than loading up a movie online." It seems that in 2012, many consumers still preferred a physical DVD disk over streaming video.
What missteps did the Netflix management make? In addition to misjudging the elasticity of demand, by failing to account for close substitutes, it seems they may have also misjudged customers' preferences and tastes. Yet, as the population increases, the preference for streaming video may overtake physical DVD disks. Netflix, the source of numerous late night talk show laughs and jabs in 2011, may yet have the last laugh.
Elasticity is a general term, referring to percentage change of one variable divided by percentage change of a related variable that can be applied to many economic connections. For instance, the income elasticity of demand is the percentage change in quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in income. The cross-price elasticity of demand is the percentage change in the quantity demanded of a good divided by the percentage change in the price of another good. Elasticity applies in labor markets and financial capital markets just as it does in markets for goods and services. The wage elasticity of labor supply is the percentage change in the quantity of hours supplied divided by the percentage change in the wage. The elasticity of savings with respect to interest rates is the percentage change in the quantity of savings divided by the percentage change in interest rates.
What would the gasoline price elasticity of supply mean to UPS or FedEx?
The average annual income rises from $25,000 to $38,000, and the quantity of bread consumed in a year by the average person falls from 30 loaves to 22 loaves. What is the income elasticity of bread consumption? Is bread a normal or an inferior good?
Suppose the cross-price elasticity of apples with respect to the price of oranges is 0.4, and the price of oranges falls by 3%. What will happen to the demand for apples?
What is the formula for the income elasticity of demand?
What is the formula for the cross-price elasticity of demand?
What is the formula for the wage elasticity of labor supply?
What is the formula for elasticity of savings with respect to interest rates?
Normal goods are defined as having a positive income elasticity. We can divide normal goods into two types: Those whose income elasticity is less than one and those whose income elasticity is greater than one. Think about products that would fall into each category. Can you come up with a name for each category?
Suppose you could buy shoes one at a time, rather than in pairs. What do you predict the cross-price elasticity for left shoes and right shoes would be?
