An extremely clever script mixed with brilliant comedic performances from both Jason Bateman and Rachel McAdams make Game Night an entertaining treat.
A couple named Max (Jason Bateman) and Annie (Rachel McAdams) enjoy getting together with their group of friends on weekends for a fun and entertaining game night which often includes charades and various board games. Max's brother Brooks (Kyle Chandler) shows up one weekend to play game night with the group. After an entertaining night, Brooks invites Max and Annie to a game night that will be hosted as his house, to which the two agree to do so. However, when the day eventually arrives, and the couple go to Brooks' house, absolute chaos strikes mixed with comedic mishaps also occurring throughout the night.

This film is directed by John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, which, before going to see Game Night, I was extremely nervous going in, because the two previously directed the 2015 Vacation remake, which was disastrous. Virtually nothing about that ninety-nine minute, unfunny film worked. The same cannot be said however for Game Night, as it is wonderfully directed, and has a surprisingly witty script by Mark Perez.
Bateman brings his all in Game Night, and proves to be one of the funniest actors working today. Practically every time he was on screen, laughter was sure to ensue, and his character has a likeability about him that will have you rooting for him all the way through. The best aspect of Game Night however is McAdams as Annie. She is not a film character that is completely oblivious to things going on around her for almost the entire motion picture. When things quickly take a turn for the worse in the film's opening thirty minutes, people are oblivious to things unfolding in front of their eyes, but that quickly changes. McAdams is also a scene-stealer, as her dialogue had me laughing consistently throughout this one hundred minute mystery comedy. Additionally, her character of Annie is not reliant on a man to save her in every scene, either, which is something extremely praise-worthy. Some of the most hilarious and entertaining scenes in the film occur with her fighting some of the film's antagonists.
Tone is a big issue with Game Night unfortunately. We can literally watch a scene in which an individual has just gotten kidnapped and some even killed, and then the next scene we see two characters discussing if they want to have a baby or not. Going from one scene being so brutal and dark to instant comedy can be a bit jarring from time to time. Viewers will more than likely get used to it after awhile much like myself, but it took a little bit of time.

Game Night also suffers occasionally from a rushed script. Many scenes feel like set up scenes for the next big scene which will be bolder and funnier, but it would have been nice to ease off the brakes for a bit to let the script breathe. It would not have been a bother to me if the film was a tad longer, as the characters are indeed likeable and it is loaded with comedy throughout to keep audiences laughing and entertained. A longer running time more than likely would not have gotten on most viewers' nerves due to these factors. The film also looks marvellous thanks to great cinematography by Barry Peterson.
If you have a big group of friends you want to go see Game Night with, it is highly recommended. At its core, the film itself is about friendship, family, and teaming up with one another, so it would be great to see the film with friends.
Extraordinarily clever and funny, Game Night stands out significantly amongst the crowd of rather dull comedy films released in recent years. Furthermore, great performances by Bateman and Adams make the film an amazingly engaging watch.


My first post, so please be kind.
I have installed Moodle on my own server and am developing my first course, which is gaining quite a bit of interest. I already have enquiries for 2,000 candidates. I have been told by a developer friend that Moodle has a capacity of 500 users.
Can someone confirm if this is correct and if so, is there any way around this limit.
We have some course with more than 2500 Students.
And in the System more than 60 000.
For Quiz at the same time (concurrent Users) You need about 1 GB memory (RAM) for 50 Users.
Nope... Moodle doesn't impose a limit on the number of users.
Your hardware might (effectively) impose a limit on the number of people doing something at the same time.


Sean McComb admits he is in relaxed mood as he prepares to return to the ring on Saturday night.
McComb enjoyed a high-profile debut when he fought on the undercard of Carl Frampton's Windsor Park show on August 18.
'The Public Nuisance' began life in the paid ranks in encouraging fashion with an impressive stoppage victory over Reynaldo Mora.
He is now preparing for his second professional outing on Amir Khan's undercard this Saturday.
Although that performance garnered much attention, McComb feels under no pressure ahead of his next assignment in Birmingham.
"It was a good debut and I know I put on a good performance against a tough opponent but I don't feel any weight of expectation trying to replicate that," he said.
"I spar hundreds of rounds and that's always the best way to prepare. It has become second nature to me to pick my punches with ease, relax and enjoy myself. I'm relaxed through everything.
"I was a bit tense in the changing room when I was on the pads before my debut but then I persuaded myself to let go a bit.
"I knew I was too good to lose so I blocked the crowd out and focused on my performance.
"The more I relax, the better my punch selection becomes and I don't think adjusting to the environment in Birmingham will be too hard. I boxed in places like Kazakhstan and the Ukraine as an amateur so I'm used to adapting.
"It's great to have my old amateur team-mate and now MTK Global team-mate Steven Donnelly going through the same thing.


Sick sinus syndrome (SSS) is a disease in which the heart's natural pacemaker (sinoatrial node) located in the upper right heart chamber (right atrium) becomes damaged. It is no longer able to generate normal heartbeats at the normal rate. It may be a result of other health conditions that damage the sinoatrial node (SA node) over time or may be a result of certain medicines. This can result in heartbeats that are too slow or too fast, or heartbeats that alternate between slow and fast. Sick sinus syndrome is also sometimes called tachy-brady syndrome.
Inflammatory conditions that involve the heart. These include rheumatic fever, Chagas disease, pericarditis, and myocarditis.
Hypothyroidism, hypothermia, and electrolyte problems generally can be reversed.
Who is at risk for sick sinus syndrome?
Sick sinus syndrome affects men and women equally, and can occur at any age. But most cases of SSS occur in people over age 70. This is because aging tends to slow the heart rate and lower SA node function.
You are also at greater risk of you take medicines such as beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, or digoxin, or medicines to treat arrhythmias.
Your healthcare provider may suspect sick sinus syndrome based on your symptoms, but they are common in many other diseases. To diagnose your condition, your healthcare provider will do an electrocardiogram (ECG). This is a machine that records your heart's rate and rhythm. If you don't have symptoms at the time of your ECG, it may look normal.
A Holter monitor. This is a recorder you wear for over 24 hours that takes an ECG.
An event recorder. This is a recorder you wear over several days that samples your heart rate.
An implantable loop recorder. This is a small heart recorder put underneath the skin over the heart. It records the heart rhythm for up to 3 years.
Electrophysiologic testing. This is a hospital test that involves threading catheters into your heart through a vein in your thigh.
Pacemaker. The most common treatment for people with symptoms that don't have a cause that can be reversed is a pacemaker. This is a small, battery-powered device that takes the place of your SA node and regulates your heart rate. A doctor places a pacemaker under the skin of your chest during minor surgery. Wires are put in the heart that can monitor the heart rate and stimulate the heartbeat when needed.
What are the possible complications of sick sinus syndrome?
Cardiac blood flow may be impaired. This can lead to other organ damage such as brain and kidney function.
Sick sinus syndrome is a slow heart rate that can also alternate with fast heart rates.
You may have no symptoms or you may have dizziness, fainting, shortness of breath, or fatigue.
Sick sinus syndrome may be treated by changing your medicines, treating underlying health conditions, or inserting a pacemaker.
Not smoking, keeping your cholesterol and blood pressure under control, eating a healthy diet, maintaining a healthy weight, and getting regular exercise can help reduce the risk for sick sinus syndrome.


The political drama over guns may not be over yet. This week, Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) announced his intention to re-introduce his failed compromise bill expanding background checks for gun purchases. President Obama certainly doesn't sound ready to give up on the issue either, and ordinary Americans seem angry enough to lash back at senators who voted to kill the only gun-control legislation that seemed realistic in the wake of the Newtown shooting.
Although many will argue that it was the electoral coercion of the NRA, several senators who voted "no" cited the Second Amendment as the reason why. This is a common tactic—pro-gun advocates throwing constitutional rights into every debate about guns—even when it isn't terribly relevant. That's a problem, in my view; we should all try to adhere to the Constitution, but it's hard to do that when the actual meaning of the Bill of Rights is diluted. Second Amendment advocates actually hurt their own cause by citing it too often. To determine if an assault-weapons ban or universal background checks really are a threat to our Second Amendment rights, we must first understand the content and language of the Second Amendment.
Intelligent people can have intelligent disagreements about how to interpret this sentence, especially since it is a particularly confusing piece of the law of the land. There are too many nouns and not enough verbs, for one thing; for another, what's up with all the commas?
Well, first off, don't worry so much about all the commas. Commas were used a lot more freely—and haphazardly—in colonial times than they are today. Different copies of the Constitution, transcribed by different printers, have different numbers of commas. Back then, it was simply a punctuation mark inserted to give speakers (remember, the Declaration of Independence and Constitution were read from public places across the colonies) cues on where to pause and take a breath. Apparently it was even the British legal tradition at the time to disregard commas when interpreting statues—they were considered annotations more than parts of the text.
Now that we have codified grammatical rules to an extent that was unimaginable—even impossible—in the 18th century, we have also abandoned the once-common practice of inserting commas between subjects and their predicates. That accounts for the two Second Amendment commas that look weirdest to the modern eye: the first ("Militia, being") and the third ("Arms, shall"). Take those out, and you're left with two clear clauses regardless of what you do with the second, middle comma.
The second half ("the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed") is the money phrase and the independent clause of the amendment—in other words, it's the main idea. This seems great for gun advocates—except it's not the only idea. We also have to figure out what to do with the dependent, participial clause that begins the sentence: "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State."
Omnibus paratis, familia discessit ad urbem.
With everything prepared, the family departed for the city.
It's a construction we still use in English sometimes, as the non-awkwardness of the translation suggests. However, in Latin, the ablative absolute is used for a special reason: to express purpose. Therefore, a less literal, but more colloquial, translation would be, "Since everything was ready, the family departed for the city."
If you were to translate the Second Amendment into Latin and then back into English, the best translation would read something like, "Since a well-regulated militia is necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." That establishes a much clearer causal link for the right to bear arms with the necessity of a "well-regulated militia." This gives rise to the liberal interpretation of the amendment.
However, since the Bill of Rights is, in fact, not written in Latin, the true meaning is open for debate. Progressive legal scholars like Jeffrey Toobin observe that, for much of American history, the right to bear arms was only understood in the context of protecting state militias. Only in the late 1970s, Toobin argues, when the Republican Party was making its hard turn to the right, did the NRA campaign successfully to alter the national perception of the amendment to cover individual citizens' gun rights. To Toobin, that makes the individual-rights interpretation wrong. However, it can also be convincingly argued that the organized-militia-only interpretation flew in the face of the actual, original intent by the Framers. Colonial-era writing samples suggest that the phrase "bear arms" was a deliberate choice and specifically refers, then as now, to individual possession of weapons, not the military use of them.
What is clear is that the relationship between the first clause and the second clause is the key to understanding the amendment's meaning: does the dependent clause qualify or restrict the independent one or not? On one hand, the first half could be a specific and exclusive raison d'être for the entire main clause, in the full spirit of the ablative absolute, as if the Bill of Rights had been written in Latin itself. Or the first clause could just be irrelevant fluff, a throwaway statement that may be tangentially true but does not affect the amendment's main point; it might as well not even be there. The middle ground is that the first clause is neither meaningless nor decisive; it provides a context, and perhaps an explanation, for the main thrust of the amendment, but it doesn't take anything away from the core meaning.
So are background checks unconstitutional? You can argue that they do take away certain citizens' rights to bear arms, or that they obstruct law-abiding citizens' rights even if they do get their guns in the end. But background checks also fit perfectly with the idea of a "well-regulated" gun-toting population, should you accept the liberal or the moderate interpretation of the Second Amendment. Anything short of denying the relevance of the first clause, and you acknowledge that the Constitution believes regulation of guns is important. (Ironically, conservatives who deny that are thus also denying any similarities between the Second Amendment's structure and the ablative absolute of Latin—many conservatives' favorite language.) However, many of the senators who claimed that they believed background checks violated the Second Amendment were moderates, even Democrats—not conservative ideologues.
If you believe in the hard-right interpretation of the Second Amendment, that's fine. But I don't think these swing-vote senators on the background-checks bill do. Given their overall philosophies and temperaments, a much more nuanced view of Second Amendment law seems likely. Maybe they too, like the rest of us, need a grammatical lesson and a refresher on what the Constitution actually says.
FYI: The actual RATIFIED version of the 2A has only ONE comma. "A well regulated militia being necessary for the security of a free state, right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."

The Philippine Reporter
December 17, 2021 , 12:30pm
Journalist Patricia Evangelista: 'Our job is resistance'
(A brief TPR note on the speech of P. Evangelista – Ed. MAGarcia)
Aside from the much applauded speech on journalism and press freedom delivered by Maria Ressa during the Nobel Prize Award Ceremonies in Oslo Norway, there was another compelling speech earlier on the realities of everyday journalism in a world ruled by terror, delivered by Rappler reporter Patricia Evangelista.
Evangelista's compelling message: "When brutalities are commonplace, the job of everyday journalism is resistance."
Evangelista spoke about the fear brought to bear on the people by the powerful who do not want the truth revealed about the drug related killings under Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte's war on drugs. She spoke about the terrorist-labelling or red-tagging of journalists and others in an effort to instill fear on them from writing or telling about the truth.
As early as 2019, when as the Marshall McLuhan Fellow of that year, Evangelista revealed in her talks in Canada about the trauma on the people involved in her coverage of the killings, where she interviewed both the relatives of the victims and the killer – the cops and vigilantes.
Evangelista had delivered her speech on the topic during BoniFest (Andres Bonifacion Festival ) 2019, held at the Toronto City Hall Council Chambers, an event organized by the Filipino-Canadian Writers and Journalists Network (FC-WJNet), co-sponsored by the National Ethnic Press and Media Council of Canada (NEPMCC), and PLUMA Writers Collective.
In Oslo, before an international audience of journalists and human rights advocates, she went further to say why journalists should tell their stories despite the effort to terrorize them from doing so.
The following is her speech:
"My name is Patricia Evangelista, and for more than a decade, I worked for a small, independent news agency named Rappler. I'm a trauma reporter. It means that I report about terrible things that happened because those things shouldn't have happened and shouldn't happen again.
"And then, five years ago, the man who would become the president of the Philippines promised the deaths of his own people. The terrible became ordinary, to thundering applause.
"Now I'm going to tell you what terror looks like.
"Once, I stood outside a house where five men had been killed. The families gathered outside. Please, they pleaded, tell us who the dead men are. The cops refused, shouted at one mother, shoved another daughter. And then it rained, hard and heavy. People ran and the cops laughed. See, said one police officer. He pointed to the sky. See, even God is on my side.
"Once, I spoke to the families of young men who had been killed in the drug war. They called the deaths executions. One father refused to put his name on the record, but his wife told me to use hers. She said it was the one thing she could do for her dead son.
"Once, I sat across vigilantes who told me that the cops had ordered them to kill. I couldn't talk to the cop they named because he refused to comment. I couldn't talk to the families of the dead because they were in hiding.
"Isn't it strange, one of the vigilantes told me, that it's the families of the dead who have to run?
"I don't live with terror every day. They do. One wake was empty of mourners because every neighbor was afraid to be seen paying respects. One teenager dropped out of school to trail her mother because she was afraid Mama would be shot next. One woman who had just buried a son stood outside a police station standing guard because another son had been arrested, and she was afraid he wouldn't live through the night.
"In my country, anyone can be called a terrorist. Addicts, activists, lawyers, journalists. But terror is a complicated word. I'll give you the other word for it, one that is less bound by politics and privilege. The word is fear. Fear is what makes you faint at a police station, in front of your sobbing son. Fear comes to a father when he kneels on a linoleum floor mopping up his son's blood, saying sorry, I didn't fight back. Sometimes it makes you apologize to coffins or withdraw witness statements or refuse to testify. Sometimes it stops you from asking questions. Or publishing your byline. Or sharing the story of a boy who said, please, arrest me instead.
"We published these stories, and many others. We were called liars and fake news. Our license was put in jeopardy. Many advertisers disappeared. My bosses were charged, arrested, and convicted. Our reporters were banned from the palace. They were trolled and threatened, and because we are women, the threats included rape.
"Maria Ressa said keep going. Tell the stories. At great personal cost, she did not run, she did not hide, she did not compromise, and because she did not, those of us on the field could tell the truth and know she had our backs.
"Rappler is not the only news agency in the Philippines exposing corruption and the brutalities of the drug war. Neither are they the only journalists working under threat. Journalism is a tradition, and the line that Rappler holds is one that was drawn decades ago by men and women who stood at the barricades and said this far, no further. When brutalities are commonplace, the job of everyday journalism is resistance.
"Today, after the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Maria Ressa and Dimitry Muratov, we celebrate a world that understands that no democracy can exist with a citizenry terrified into silence. Tomorrow, we will go home to our desks, to the field, to newsrooms all over the world, with the awareness that even if we're afraid, we don't tell our stories alone.

Top 4 Architectural Sites
Hadrian's Wall is over 2000 years old and was built by the Roman Emperor Hadrian to 'protect' Britain from Scottish invaders. Today it is a major historic attraction and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Among the many architectural wonders of London including Tower Bridge, the London Eye and the Shard, the Tate Modern is well worth a visit and is home to some of the country's best art. To the west, in the city of Bristol is one of Ismabard Brune's best creations, the breath-taking Clifton Suspension Bridge. To the east in the elegant city of Cambridge is Kings College, one of the oldest and most beautiful late-gothic colleges of Oxbridge.
Top 4 Natural Sites
These four sites hail from the four constituent nations of the UK. In Northern Ireland the basalt stone columns of Giant's Causeway are one of the world's most amazing natural wonders whilst in Scotland, Loch Lomond is arguably its most atmospheric lake within the highland mountains. Pistyll Rhaedar is the highest waterfall in Wales, a truly magnificent site that rivals the Jurassic Coast along the south coast where layers of sediment from over 70 million years can be viewed.

What the difference between 'söker', 'hittar' or 'letar'? All this words are for 'look for', right?
No, hittar only means find. söker and letar (efter) mean the same though, much like search and look (for).
Why efter and not för?
When do we use ni and when do we use er?
Can i say "vad letar du på"?
Not really. 'Letar' needs the preposition 'efter' the same way as 'look' needs 'for'.
Can you just say "Vad letar du?", because in another sentence I saw it can be "Jag letar (efter) arbete.", where efter is optional.
It is not wrong, but it does seem like something is missing, so in order to sound natural I would suggest adding the "efter".
I wrote "Vad är ni leker efter? " Which was marked wrong but the correction is to "Vad är ni ute efter? " But I don't understand what ute is and why that is correct?
I guess you already realized that leker means 'plays'. The system tries to match what you input to the closest accepted answer, which means you may be shown things that are not taught in the course. Since your answer included är and efter, it was matched to the accepted answer Vad är ni ute efter?, which is like 'What are you after?' in English – it's a very idiomatic way of saying it in Swedish, but, it's only an accepted answer and not taught in the course.
Although you used the wrong verb you came very close to the other common way to construct questions: Vad är det ni letar efter? The word 'det' is mandatory in this alternative.
Oops, I think I used letar this morning but not sure, I may have typed it wrong in the comments. Thanks for the responses, is "Vad är ni ute efter" literally "What are you out for"? And is "Vad är det ni letar efter" an accepted answer for this too then?
Duo says "Vad är du ute efter?" is correct. Which I would never have guessed.
So tittar means more like look (at) whereas letar is more like look (for)?
Oh so letar can stand alone, you don't need to say letar efter? Or perhaps like this: Jag letar huset. - I am searching the house. Jag letar efter huset. - I am searching for the house. Let me know if I am wrong.
You are not completely wrong, but I would definitely suggest that you add "efter" every time. It just sounds a lot better!
When I read "Jag letar huset", it feels like something is missing even though it is technically ok.
I think it's only with abstract, general things that we leave efter out. If you say Jag letar hus or Jag letar jobb, you're looking for 'any' house/job (or at least it's pretty general). But if you're looking for a specific house/job, (huset/jobbet) I think it sounds wrong without the preposition.
So would "I am searching the house" as in looking for something in the house be "Jag letar på/genom huset" or does only efter work there?
Just a comment on the Swedish sentence below. "Ser" cannot be used to express "understand" in Swedish. It only means "to see". If you want to you could say "Jag fattar nu" or "Jag förstår nu".
To "search" something like that would be "letar igenom" in Swedish.
Åh, jag ser nu. Tack för hjälpen!
Åh, tack så mycket! I have been saying it wrong all this time!

Human Rights activist and former Public Works Minister, Attorney Kofi Woods yesterday challenged the Armed Forces of Liberia (AFL) to be more civilian-friendly and eschew (avoid, shun) its tragic legacy when it played the role of "terrorist to democracy."Fresh in the mind of this year's Armed Forces Day Speaker were two particular incidents of terror. The first was the AFL's invasion of the University of Liberia on August 22, 1984 when, led by Samuel Doe's Defense Minister Gray D. Allison, the heavily armed AFL soldiers stormed the UL's main campus and stripped naked, brutalized, raped and killed many professors, students and staff and ransacked the campus. The Daily Observer, too, remembers vividly the horrors of that day, which we covered in detail. Our editorial the following morning cried, "Bleed, Bleed, Poor Country—Great Tyranny"—a line borrowed from William Shakespeare.Kofi Woods' second fresh recollection of AFL brutality was the shooting and subsequent bleeding to death last August of the West Point youth, Shaki Kamara.It was heartwarming to hear Defense Minister Brownie Samukai himself, in his remarks yesterday, apologetically recall that tragic incident, for which he showed contrition (remorse). The logical and most welcomed denouement (conclusion) to this unfortunate episode is for the government to release the results of the investigation that followed and tell the public what punishment has been meted out to those involved in Shaki's untimely death and other victims. A more distant reminiscence (recall) of Attorney Woods was the cruel participation of the AFL's predecessor, the Liberia Frontier Force (LFF), in hut tax collection in the Liberian interior.But this is all in the past. Mr. Woods, who told his audience that he had long been a severe critic of the AFL, including even denying the necessity for its very existence, was now full of praises for the men and women in arms. He commended their role in road building, carried out by the AFL's Engineering Battalion, in the erection of Ebola Treatment Units (ETUs) in various parts of the country, and their successful role in peace keeping in Mali.Recalling, however, the Biblical dictum that "Charity begins at home," Mr. Woods then challenged the AFL to turn its attention to winning "the hearts of its citizens at home."He urged the AFL to start within its own community—PHP [and nearby Buzzi Quarters] and do something to help the people in those slum communities. He also called for the revival of the AFL's Agricultural Battalion. This could help train Liberian farmers and AFL itself could grow food, in order to enhance Liberia's food security.He further dared the AFL to return to West Point, not with guns this time, but with shovels and diggers, copybooks and pencils, to engage in agriculture, clean-up campaigns and house repair as well as adult literacy.He called these endeavors "the civilianization" of the AFL.For sure, if the AFL could return to West Point in the way Attorney Woods has suggested, it would be a tremendous attempt at reconciliation. But beyond that, should the AFL be able to reenergize its Agricultural and Engineering Battalions, they could make their impact felt throughout the country, by helping to improve and expand agricultural activities and to build more farm-to-market roads around the country.There is a big BUT to all this—and Defense Minister Samukai took pains to emphasize this in his own Armed Forces Day Address yesterday: funding. The Ministry was seriously cash-strapped, limiting it from doing the urgent items on its agenda. The Defense Ministry was not oblivious to the need for better pay, housing conditions and other emoluments for the men and women in arms—something Keynote Speaker Woods also called for, toward making our military truly professional people. The more professional they become, the better service they would be able to render the country following their retirement, Mr. Woods averred.But, as Minister Samukai cautioned, none of this would be possible without more money.We urge the GOL to heed this plea and empower the Ministry and our men and women in arms not so much with military hardware as with money, to professionalize them and turn them into a truly CIVILIAN-friendly force for good.

NYC's Hummus and Pita Co.—the eatery that brought the world vegan hummus milkshakes—will add four hummus-based ice cream flavors to its menu in celebration of National Ice Cream Day this Sunday.
New York City-based eatery The Hummus and Pita Co. will launch vegan hummus ice cream on Sunday in honor of National Ice Cream Day. The eatery created four flavors (chocolate, banana, strawberry, and Cookies & Cream) using ingredients common in hummus such as chickpeas and tahini blended with vanilla, coconut cream, and almond milk. Last month, The Hummus and Pita Co. gained national notoriety for its hummus milkshake—available in original, pistachio, strawberry, butter pecan, and chocolate flavors—which it makes with a blend of bananas, tahini, chickpeas, dates, and almond milk. "We were so blown away by the popularity of the Hummus Shake that we knew we had to keep inventing new treats," Founder Dave Pesso said. "This all started when I developed the dessert hummus as a healthier alternative for my daughter, and the response from my family was so great that we wanted to share it with The Hummus & Pita Co. guests." In addition to formulating vegan ice cream with traditional bases such as almond or coconut milk, several companies—including brand Cado (which uses avocado as a base) and ice cream shop The Chufa Co. (which recently began operating out of a shipping container in Canada where it serves tigernut milk-based ice cream)—have been able to create animal-free frozen treats from novel ingredients.


Assume that I have a large dataset in the database. I want to implement AJAX-scrolling through that dataset, so that only the data that should be displayed is loaded from the DB.
My first try was to use RichFaces dataTable and datascroller, but, it's not so easy (see here). I guess it can be made to work, but seems overly complicated and heavy , while I only need to display a next and previous link plus a list of strings (so ui:repeat is enough).
The other solution is to have a PAGE-scoped component that holds a from variable, and make next an action link, which increases the from variable. The bean survives all the ajax refreshes, as the ajax requests don't create a new view root.
And this works, but there are some drawbacks.
If the list of entities read from the database is cached also in that page-scoped bean (and cleared whenever next is clicked), then it gets stored in the session, which unnecessarily increases memory usage.
If the list of entities is cached in an event-scoped bean, then the datbase is queried twice on every request: once for the old from value (when the view is restored), once for the new one (when the view is rendered).
Of course, the ideal solution would be to store only from in the page-scoped bean, and read only once from the database. Is that possible?


The management and the executive officers of a security company are the best determinants of the service a client will receive. In order to be licensed as a qualified manager for a security company by the State of California a security officer must have worked a minimum of one year. Naturally there are some other requirements and a test that has to be passed, but that is the most difficult and important hurdle. One year of guard experience will not suffice to run a professional guard company and ensure professional, reliable service to clients.
As a client one should always ask to meet with one of the executive officers to ensure that one is hiring a security company that understands all aspects of the security business. Many security guards and clients are under the false impression that a security company is simply an agency that provides security guards. A good security company will have a proven concept of hiring the right people, holding them accountable and adding value to the client's business.
Hiring the right people means a rigorous interview process by human resource professionals, who will choose the best of the best from a pool of candidates. It also means a proven background check procedure, which will ensure with a criminal background and a history of violence are not hired. A good security company will protect its clients and itself from liability by choosing the right security guards candidates with the necessary experience in the security industry.
Holding security officers accountable means establishing checks and balances with security guards, supervisors and the client. There should be electronic equipment used, which will provide the client and the supervisors with a report of the security officer's activity throughout his shift. Supervisors should be visiting the site frequently to check on and coach the security guards. They should also frequently check in with the client to ensure customer satisfaction.
Many clients might wonder how a security guard can add value to their business side from just providing security services. An excellent security company will find many ways by going beyond their post orders to add value to their client' business. In a jewelry store the main responsibility of the guard is to protect clients and property, but smiling and being professional and courteous with the customers will improve the atmosphere in the store. A security guard at a construction site will save construction people a lot of time by limiting access of job seekers and keeping a log of visitors. Hotel security guards can help the hotel save costs by handing out newspaper or assisting the bell desk if necessary. A great security company will employ security consultants that will come up with innovative ways to provide value beyond the regular security services. It is important for clients to identify that they are dealing with a company that will add value by requesting a meeting with one of the managers of the company.

25 July, 1946 – 8 November, 2020
Play Tribute Movie
It is with deep sorrow and much love that we mourn the passing of F. Scott Kee of New Braunfels, Texas. Scott went to be with the Lord Sunday, November 8, 2020 at the age of 74. He was born on July 25, 1946 in Tyler, Texas to Ben Roberts and Gwendolynn Perdue Kee.
Scott began his career teaching physical education at TCU. He then entered into service to our country in 1971 as an Air Force pilot flying C-118 Liftmasters and T-39 Sabreliners achieving the rank of Captain before leaving service. He continued his career in sales and logistics retiring as a Vice President in the international automotive industry.
Scott was well known by all for the joy he found from finding the adventures in life - often creating his own. Sometimes "adventure" meant hard work, more often it meant mischief and laughter. If there were shenanigans about, it was no surprise to find Scott somewhere in the mix. Mostly, "adventure" was whatever he made it to be along the way, and without fail, there was joy. A proud father and loving husband, Scott's family was his greatest adventure. He was incredibly generous with his time and talents. He strove to make others happy and was often the first to offer a helping hand. He loved to bring people together. Scott enjoyed the adventures of riding motorcycles with friends, flying planes, hunting, and building things – ultimately building his dream home in New Braunfels where he enjoyed the best adventures of all with the love of his life, Jane. Scott will always be remembered for his kindness, that instigating grin, his genuine friendship, his love of laughter, giant hugs, and most of all, for his joy of life. He reminded us to "live well, take care of each other, and laugh."
Scott was preceded in death by his father, Ben Roberts Kee. He is survived by his mother, Gwen Kee; loving wife of 53 years, Jane Kee; brother, Robert L. Kee (Lovely); sister, Judy Ruth Curley (Steve); daughter, Judy Katherine Southworth (Scott); son, Ben Wesley Kee (Jamie); grandchildren, Ryan Lars Southworth, and Hayden Lee; and so many close family friends.
Scott will be honored at a private family service at Ft. Sam Houston National Cemetery. Family and friends are welcome to sign his online guestbook and view a photo collection of favorite memories at www.zoellerfuneralhm.com. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to your local Food Bank to support families in need during this difficult time.

I am Scott Southworth's mother. Scott Kee's son in law . The first time I met Scott Kee he came over and greeted me. He took my hand and said to me ' we are pleased to have Scott (southworth) join our family. Very earnestly he said to me' you did something very right with this young man. ' I was so moved by this. He was always kind to me and I enjoyed seeing Scott and Jane. The sorrow is beyond words.
Scott was such a wonderful, friendly guy and a pleasure to be around. I know he will truly be missed by those that love him. My only regret is not getting to spend more time with him and Jane when they lived in the DFW area. Truly a loss!
Jane, our deepest condolences. Sending many thoughts and prayers your way. Hard to believe the news and we were so saddened to learn of Scott's passing. What a wonderful man he was. Truly one of the nicest and kindest men I believe I've ever met. A genuine friend and true gentleman with every sense of the word that conveys.
We first met you guys through the Star 206 chapter and looked forward to seeing you for the years we were involved at the various rides and events.
Again our best wishes for the future for you and your family.

Scott was an awesome guy. I truly loved riding with him. I will miss all the Star B ques that we shared. He was one of a kind. Always had a smile on his face and showed concern for all that he met. He will be missed by so many of us that had the pleasure of meeting him and knowing him. RIP my friend.
I am so so sorry. Scott was honestly the sweetest, kindest and most caring person I've ever met. When my parents moved into the neighborhood, you both welcomed them with open arms. You had become their new best friends and family in New Braunfels. I am forever grateful for the love you've shown my family, and myself, in trying times. I will miss Scott's laughter, genuine spirit, and of course, his peanut brittle. You and your family are in my thoughts and want you to know I am here if you need anything.
Erik Henchal
Scott Kee was one of the first people we met when we moved to Vintage Oaks in New Braunfels. Scott consistently demonstrated friendliness and generosity to strangers and friends alike. We will miss the many discussions we had with him about our past histories, the local community and Texas in general. His leadership and dedication to the Vintage Oaks veterans organization was inspirational. We will miss him dearly and are very sorry for your loss.

We are grieving with you all. Scott was a wonderful friend, delighting us with his stories, impressing us with his talents [woodworking, for one of many!], beating us in table games [sometimes!], sharing meals and good conversation, and being available any time we called on him for anything! We are sending our love and prayers to each of you as you face the days ahead without having this great man in your lives. ~Nan and Ed
Mike Wright
Scott in a nutshell was an awesome man! Quick to help or share, always an opinion! Scott would never back down or give up, determined to get it done. What a friend we have lost, and I would definitely call Scott a good friend! I will miss the adventures we got to share! Rest in peace my Brother, until we meet again! God Bless.

Oh, hey there 2017. Didn't see you sneak up on me.
So the question remains: could 2017 be a better year than 2016 was? It all comes down to perspective, and I think yes. I am grateful for all I experienced in the last year, and as one more chapter closes and another begins, I feel confident tackling challenges head-on and am excited at the prospect of the new adventures that will inevitably come my way.

Creating a Safe Place for Teenage Tibetan Refugees
James S. Gordon, MD
By James S. Gordon MD
Recently, I was in Dharamsala, India, for a conference at the Tibetan Medical College sponsored by the Dalai Lama. While there, I had the opportunity to do a workshop for 200 teenage refugees who had just fled Tibet. I taught soft belly breathing, talked about fight or flight and stress responses, did shaking and dancing, and answered questions. The kids were, even in the large group, remarkably open about their difficulty sleeping and studying, the painful memories of loss, and their flight from Tibet. Afterward, the Tibetan physician Dr. Sonam Dolma, who headed up the conference, asked if there were any kids who wanted individual consultations with me. To her and my amazement 20 lined up; others, a bit discouraged by the length of the line, waited for me later.
I talked with a couple of the kids individually, and then decided to do a mind-body group with all of them. I did an exercise in guided imagery—creating a safe place and looking for a Wise Guide of whom one could ask questions. It began with my taking them on a journey down a country road. I've done this hundreds of times for many different populations here in the US as well as in post-war and post-disaster situations.
Though all the kids were able to eventually find a safe or comfortable place, I've never seen a group that had such problems simply imagining being on the country road. There were enormous ruts in their roads, narrow bridges with sheer drops on either side, and dark and dangerous forests. In time, I was able to work with all of the kids, to help them get to a safe place and to find messages that were appropriate for helping them deal with the problems that beset them: anger at unpredictable times, nightmares and sudden disturbed disoriented awakenings, great difficulty in concentrating on the simplest school work, withdrawal even from their closest friends, and above all, the overwhelming sadness of leaving their families behind and losing their country. Afterwards, Dr. Dolma, her associates, the kids, and the school principal at the "transition school" all wanted to know: "When will you come back with your team so that all of us can learn how to do this?"
Sadly, for so many people finding a safe place can be a huge challenge. We hope one day to return to Dharamsala as we continue our trauma relief efforts around the world.

What amazing work and an enormous task. These kids are the lineage of one of the most amazing cultures ever in the history of humankind. It is our resposibility to do what we can with all the tools to help them recover better balance in their health. Meet them where they are at, bring some young adults who have at least some basic training, work within their Buddhist philosophy to be relatable and find humor that relates to them.

This book is available! READ IT NOW!
There will be three, kin of your kin. . .
The wild cats have flourished in their new home on the banks of the lake for several seasons, and the Clans are growing strong and healthy with new kits. The time has come for three kits of ThunderClan to become apprentices.
Hollypaw, Jaypaw, and Lionpaw spring from a strong legacy: children of Squirrelflight and Brambleclaw, two of the noblest ThunderClan warriors, and grandchildren of the great leader Firestar himself. All three young cats possess unusual power and talent and seem certain to provide strength to the Clan for the next generation.
But there are dark secrets around the three, and a mysterious prophecy hints at trouble to come. An undercurrent of rage is rising against those who are not Clanborn, and the warrior code is in danger of being washed away by a river of blood. All the young cats' strength will be needed if the Clans are to survive.
. . . who hold the power of the stars in their paws.
01the_sight.pdf
02 Dark River
The three children of Squirrelflight and Brambleclaw, grandchildren of the great leader Firestar, have thrived in their apprenticeships: Lionpaw's strength and energy serve him well as a warrior in training, Hollypaw hones her understanding of the warrior code, and Jaypaw explores his mysterious powers and connection to StarClan as the medicine cat apprentice.
With more experience comes both power and danger: Lionpaw makes a friendship—and a discovery—that must be kept hidden; Jaypaw learns a secret that could benefit ThunderClan by damaging others; and Hollypaw knows something that could avert a battle, if she could convince the rest of her Clan.
The three are torn apart as each discovers darkness: in themselves, in the Clans, and in the past. And, as conflict begins over what it means to be a warrior, rising tensions threaten to overflow, washing away the peace that has existed for many moons.

Power of the stars
In their paws.
A secret prophecy shapes the lives of Firestar's grandchildren, but only one of the three knows about it. Jaypaw is captivated by the power it promises, and he believes the key to that power may lie buried in the distant past—with the ancient cats who once walked these woods and now prowl through his dreams. His search for answers leads him toward the mountains—the home of the Tribe of Rushing Water. Lionpaw and Hollypaw feel drawn to the mountains too, for different reasons.
But the mountains hide secrets as well as answers, and if the three cats find a way to get there, they may discover more than they ever expected.

04 Elclipse
Firestar's three grandchildren have learned of the powerful prophecy that foretells their destinies, and the responsibility of deciding the Clans' future weighs heavily on the three apprentices. But each secretly yearns for power: Lionpaw dreams of being undefeatable in battle, while Hollypaw longs to be a great leader and Jaypaw knows only he can see the true past and future for them all. Their strengths are tested when ThunderClan is suddenly attacked—and all four Clans are thrown into a battle unlike any the cats have ever seen.
Then a dark shadow falls across the forest, and a mysterious stranger warns the Clans of more trouble to come. For the first time, it appears that StarClan does not hold the answers the cats need.
All of a sudden, the warrior code is being tested. A crisis of faith threatens to tear the four Clans apart and destroy what the cats have built their lives
upon. . .

05 Long Shadows
The Clans are in turmoil. ShadowClan has turned its back on StarClan and pledged to follow the dark predictions of Sol, the strange cat who foretold the solar eclipse. But not all the cats have lost faith in their warrior ancestors. . .
Jaypaw is convinced that StarClan still holds an important place in the warrior code, and his search for answers leads him far back into the past, farther back than even StarClan can remember. Lionblaze, tortured by violent dreams and bloody visions, wishes he had never been prophesied to be one of the three but to turn his back on his littermates would be the ultimate betrayal. And Hollyleaf is terrified that once the Clans lose their faith, the warrior code will fall apart. She's willing to fight tooth and nail to preserve it—whatever the cost.
And when murder stalks into the heart of ThunderClan, the cats realize that the darkest shadows don't always lie outside the territory.

06 Sunrise
There will be three, kin of your kin. . . who hold the power of the stars in their paws.
A mysterious murder in the ranks has ripped ThunderClan apart. But more secrets still remain to be discovered.
Jayfeather is determined to find out who his real parents are. But he'll have to trample through a forest of lies in order to uncover the truth. Hollyleaf is shocked by her Clan's disobedience of the warrior code, and distraught enough to strike out at someone she's always admired. And Lionblaze must bear horrified witness to events that will change everything he believes.
In the harshest days of leaf-bare Clanmate turns upon Clanmate, danger lurks behind familiar faces, and one more warrior may be lost forever. . .

Trump says he may cancel meeting with Putin after Ukraine-Russia sea clash
Russian forces seized three of Kiev's ships off the coast of Crimea on Sunday and captured 24 Ukrainian sailors.

US President Donald Trump has said he may cancel a long-awaited summit with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin after a confrontation at sea between Russia and Ukraine led Kiev to warn of the threat of "full-scale war".
Trump is scheduled to meet Putin at the G20 summit in Buenos Aires at the end of this week, but warned it would depend on the results of a report being prepared by his national security advisers about Russia's seizure of three Ukrainian ships.
"Maybe I won't have the meeting. Maybe I won't even have the meeting," he told the Washington Post on Tuesday.
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko earlier warned that the standoff could herald more drastic developments as tensions escalate between the ex-Soviet neighbours.
"I don't want anyone to think this is fun and games. Ukraine is under threat of full-scale war with Russia," Poroshenko said.
The number of Russian units deployed along the Ukraine-Russian border has "grown dramatically" while the number of Russian tanks has tripled, Poroshenko said, citing intelligence reports but giving no precise timescale for the buildup.

He spoke after Russian forces seized three of Kiev's ships off the coast of Crimea on Sunday and captured 24 Ukrainian sailors.
On Tuesday, a court in Simferopol, the main city in Russian-annexed Crimea, ordered 12 of the sailors to be held in pre-trial detention for two months. Three hospitalised sailors were also formally detained for two months. The rest are to appear in court on Wednesday.
The move stoked already high tensions between Moscow and Kiev, as Russia continues to accuse the sailors of crossing illegally into Russian waters and of ignoring warnings from its border guards.
Kiev has demanded the release of the sailors and urged Western allies to impose further sanctions on Moscow.
The US State Department has termed Russia's actions "a dangerous escalation" and said Washington wants to see "our European allies doing more to assist Ukraine."
Putin warns of 'reckless acts'
The incident was the first major confrontation at sea in the long-running conflict pitting Ukraine against Moscow and Russian-backed separatists in the country's east.
It has raised fears of a wider escalation — in a conflict that has killed more than 10,000 people since 2014 – and prompted international calls for restraint.
Putin on Tuesday warned Ukraine against any "reckless acts" after Kiev declared martial law in response to Moscow's seizure of the navy vessels.
The Ukrainian parliament on Monday voted in favour of Poroshenko's request for the introduction of martial law in border areas for 30 days.
This gives Ukrainian authorities the power to mobilise citizens with military experience, regulate the media and restrict public rallies in affected areas.
In a phone conversation with German Chancellor Angela Merkel Tuesday, Putin expressed "serious concern" over its introduction.
He said he hoped Berlin could intervene with Ukrainian authorities "to dissuade them from further reckless acts".
Moscow has accused Kiev of planning Sunday's confrontation as a provocation aimed at drumming up support for Poroshenko ahead of elections next year and convincing Western governments to impose further sanctions on Russia.
Putin said Kiev's actions were "clearly taken in view of the election campaign in Ukraine".
Sunday's incident has been playing out on Russian and Ukrainian television screens, with dramatic footage of Russian ships chasing down a Ukrainian tugboat that was trying to pass through the Kerch Strait from the Black Sea into the Sea of Azov.
Sailors on Russian TV
Russian state television has aired footage of some of the captured sailors being questioned by Moscow's security services.
One of them is heard saying "the actions of the Ukrainian armed vessels in the Kerch Strait had a provocatory character" – parroting the version of events put forward by Russian authorities.
Ukraine's naval commander, Igor Voronchenko, said the sailors were pressured into giving false evidence.
"I know these sailors, they were always professional. What they are saying now is not true," he told Ukrainian media.
Western governments have rallied behind Kiev in the dispute, accusing Russia of illegally blocking access to the Sea of Azov and of taking military action without justification.
The European Union, Britain, Canada, France, Germany and others expressed support for Kiev on Monday, in statements pro-Kremlin newspaper Izvestia denounced as "predictably anti-Russian".
The foreign minister of Austria, which holds the rotating EU presidency, said Tuesday that the bloc will next month consider further sanctions against Moscow over the flare-up.
"Everything depends on the accounts of events and the actions of both sides. But it will need to be reviewed," Karin Kneissl told reporters.
UN chief Antonio Guterres called for "maximum restraint," urging both sides "to take steps without delay to contain this incident and reduce tensions".

According to Wilson Sossion, Education CS Dr Fred Matiang'i asked the university senate to cancel the award for unknown reasons.
Mr Sossion appealed to the university management not to give in to political pressure or "external forces" out to "frustrate the independence of the university council and senate".
Central Organisation of Trade Unions Secretary-General Francis Atwoli on Wednesday accused unnamed senior government officials of putting pressure on Masinde Muliro University to revoke a honorary degree he was to be awarded at a recent graduation ceremony.
Speaking in Kitale, Mr Atwoli said his mistreatment is one of the reasons Water Cabinet Secretary Eugene Wamalwa was ejected from a ceremony in Mbale on Tuesday.
Mr Wamalwa was forced to flee the venue of the Maragoli Cultural Festival at Municipal Grounds in Mbale after an irate public said he was not welcome.
Efforts by ANC leader Musalia Mudavadi and Mr Atwoli to calm down the crowd were futile.
"I was supposed to get the degree but the Jubilee government gave instructions that I should not be awarded," said Mr Atwoli. adding such acts were making members of the Luhya community unhappy.
Masinde Muliro University Vice-Chancellor Fred Otieno, however, denied claims that the institution was under pressure from the Ministry of Education to cancel the award on political grounds.
The university had on December 5 advertised in local dailies that it had nominated Mr Atwoli, a longtime leader of the union, for the degree following recommendations by the university senate and council.
Mr Atwoli further accused a section of Luhya leaders allied to Jubilee Party of despising other leaders from the community who hold divergent political views.
"I was the guest of honour at the event and we were so happy to see Mr Wamalwa entering the venue but the crowd rejected him," he said.
He noted that the community was more united than before and that there will be no divisions anymore.
The union leader also reiterated the need for dialogue between President Uhuru Kenyatta and Nasa leader Raila Odinga in order for the country to move forward.
Wilson Sossion blames Education CS for Masinde Muliro University's decision to take back the degree.

On the second full day we were in Chiang Mai we had booked a day with Elephant Nature Park to go look after elephants for the day.
Thailand has a poor reputation with tourism and animals such as elephants and tigers in particular and generally any excursions that offer elephant riding, painting, tricks or anything similar should be avoided as well as anything that involves a tiger. Elephants do not paint or do tricks as a normal behaviour and the amount of cruelty and essentially torture that is involved to bend them to human submission should most definitely be outlawed. Riding an elephant is also cruel as the seat is an incredibly heavy metal structure and the animals get worked long hours in the gruelling heat. As for tigers, if they were behaving naturally, there is no way you can get anywhere near them for a picture without coming away with severe injuries. Tigers must be drugged off their faces in order for you to be able to do what they offer. Human entertainment seems a pretty poor reason for these beautiful creatures to be so heavily sedated on a daily basis, unable to live a proper life. It's like the Chinese tourists I observed yesterday at a waterfall in Pai who were repeatedly throwing rocks into a pond trying scare the frog that was making regular croaks to make an appearance. These animals do not exist for your mere entertainment. They are sentient creatures of their own right. If you're against human trafficking and human abuse, then consider the methods that are involved in order to make these ventures possible.
Rant over. Saying all that, eco-tourism is booming in Chiang Mai with lots of elephant "sanctuaries" who provide customers with a day feeding, "walking" and bathing elephants. Some of them offer riding without seats (although I'm undecided how I feel about this). Even if the owners of these establishments might be jumping on the bandwagon as opposed to doing it for the animal's rights, it's still a step in a better direction.
We ended up booking a day with Elephant Nature Park who, after extensive research, is highly recommended by lots of travel media publishers as well as won lots of awards on its work on rescuing elephants from commercial exploits (like riding, logging and performing). The single day excursions at their parks were all full up when we booked three days before we went. But they have plenty of side projects within the Karen villages where they involve the locals to look after rescued elephants which is good for the village giving them good stable income as well as providing lots of space and care for the elephants. We went to one of these side projects and it was easy to see that the three elephants there were well looked after. They were free to roam and were happy with their flappy ears as we fed and bathed them. The day we had didn't involve any bare back riding which I preferred anyway as I have no desire to ride on such a magnificent creature.
So if you are around in Thailand and are looking for an elephant excursion, do do your research and work out which ones operate without abusing the animals.

Springtime is greentime in Seattle. And nothing says springtime better than this vibrantly fresh pea and mint soup from epicurious, via our friend Natalie. Bright, fresh pea flavors mingle with silky, flavorful swirls of chive oil. Add garlic-rubbed toasts for the perfect springtime dinner.
Clearly, this recipe from Michael Natkin's Herbivoracious cookbook is addicting. The rich and crispy black bean masa cakes sit on top of a sweetly crisp bed of lettuce, with a spicy sweet potato topping and queso fresco to finish the whole thing off. Incredible.


What could have prompted Kaduna State governor, Nasir el-Rufai to make such very volatile comment attributed to him on a Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) interview programme last week? Could it be due to a boldness acquired over the years in the uncharted field of Nigerian politics? Could the governor, famous for his brutal deployment of words and blood-soaked imageries, be weaving a tapestry whose end no one can claim to know? Was he using that grisly image of body bags to illustrate the innumerable number of the dead we have buried as a country in the last three years? Knowing fully well that he is one of the lickspittles of President Muhammadu Buhari's All Progressive Congress, (APC) was el-Rufai on an assignment like a typical insurgents' errand boy who, strapping a detonating device round his body, lets loose his fuse, caring less if the fierce bomb tears him into mounds of flesh in the process? Simply put, was El-Rufai on an assignment to bite the bullet for the APC? Or, was he a mirror of the political frustration of the government in power about the likely result of the presidential election that will take place this Saturday?
The above clearly points to a Hobson's choice for Nigeria this Saturday. Leaders like Soyinka should have roused the nation up to a Third Force before now, so that we would not be in this kind of bind of having to choose between the devil and the deep blue sea as we match to the polls on Saturday. Buhari is unarguably a No No for anyone who is not consumed by the potential benefits accruable from political party alliance and filthy lucre derivable from his support. This is not because Buhari is not a comparatively desirable personal moral beacon but because he is too immorally locked in horns in dalliance with immoral corruption kingpins who are the pall that a potentially great Nigeria carries on this interminable journey to sanity. The Buhari moral blade advertised in 2015 is dead. Can you imagine an anti-corruption persuaded president lifting up the hands of Abdullahi Ganduje, in spite of global recrimination against his alleged corruption? All things considered, Buhari is undesirable for Nigeria at this critical juncture. In this dilemma, I will grudgingly but surely seek out Atiku Abubakar from the ballot paper.
