Criticized Or Applauded, Presidential Travel Is One Great Job Perk
by Chris Owen on Jun 25, 2013

This week, President Obama and family fly to Africa for what has been described as both "frivolous spending" and a trip that brings "a great bang for our buck." The estimated $60 – $100 million trip comes at a time when Americans face a decidedly different flying experience caused by government furloughs and cutbacks. Approve or not, presidential travel and moving the first family around the world is in no way inexpensive.
Traveling to sub-Sahara Africa from June 26 to July 3, the Obamas will be accompanied by hundreds of Secret Service agents and staff, adding to the cost of transportation and accommodations. Still, this is the leader of the free world and protecting him, his family and staff is not going to be a cheap road trip no matter how they do it. When President Clinton visited Africa the price tag was said to be $42.7 million plus the cost of Secret Service protection.
As the trip to South Africa, Senegal and Tanzania gets underway, a reported 56 vehicles ranging from limousines to trucks full of supplies will be flown in via military cargo planes. When the Obamas are on the ground in Africa, U.S. fighter jets will be ever-present in the airspace directly above them. That's in addition to the cost of operating the President's ride, Air Force One, estimated to be slightly less than $200,000 per hour.
"It is no secret that we need to rein in government spending, and the Obama administration has regularly and repeatedly shown a lack of judgment for when and where to make cuts. The American people have had enough of the frivolous and careless spending," Rep. George Holding (R-N.C.) said in a RT.com article.
But the cost could have been higher. The Obama's original plan called for a Tanzania safari, which would have required a team of sharpshooters to protect them from wild animals. But President Obama, the first sitting president to visit Cambodia and Myanmar, is visiting African countries that reportedly need attention.
"Frankly, there will be a great bang for our buck for being in Africa, because when you travel to regions like Africa that don't get a lot of presidential attention, you can have very long-standing and long-running impact from the visit," Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes told The Hill, reports RT.com.
Still, let's keep these numbers in perspective. The expense of flowers for the White House alone run up a tab estimated to be $252,000 per year. The Presidential limousine is a $300,000 Cadillac that is clad with 5 inches of armor, has its own oxygen supply, a blood bank of the president's type and can shoot tear gas and smoke grenades.
Airline Flight Mix-Up Sends Couple To The Wrong Continent
by Reena Ganga on May 18, 2013

Imagine hopping on a plane to go on vacation in Africa, taking a nap and waking up to find yourself in Bangladesh. That's exactly what happened to one couple after an airline mixed up their flight bookings and flew them 7,000 miles away from their intended destination.
Sandy Valdivieso and her Husband Triet Vo had wanted to fly from LA to the African city of Dakar, Senegal, but mistakenly ended up on a flight to Dhaka, Bangladesh. It turns out the mishap all came down to the three-letter airport code airlines routinely use when making bookings or entering information on baggage tags. Instead of entering DKR (for Dakar) in the computer system, the airline representative entered DAC (for Dhaka), sparking the intercontinental travel nightmare.The couple, flying on Turkish Airlines, transited in Istanbul before joining their connecting flight to what they thought would be Dakar. They told the LA Times they didn't notice anything was wrong, because they went by the flight number on their tickets. And the similarity in city names didn't help matters. "When the flight attendant said we were heading to Dhaka, we believed that this was how you pronounced 'Dakar' with a Turkish accent," Valdivieso said.
It was only after seeing a route map several hours into the flight showing their plane hovering over the Middle East that the pair realized something was wrong. Upon landing, Turkish Airlines actually tracked down the voice recording of the couple booking their flight to Senegal to confirm the bungle was in fact the airline's fault, before finally putting the couple on a flight to the right city.
Survey Ranks 'World's Most Unfriendliest' Countries
by Libby Zay on Mar 15, 2013
Have you ever been to a country that just seems to give tourists the cold shoulder? Now, there are some figures behind those unwelcome feelings; the World Economic Forum has put together a report that ranks countries based on how friendly they are to tourists.
The extensive analyses ranks 140 countries according to attractiveness and competitiveness in the travel and tourism industries. But one category, "attitude of population toward foreign visitors," stands out.
According the data, Bolivia (pictured above) ranked as the most unfriendly country, scoring a 4.1 out of seven on a scale of "very unwelcome" (0) to "very welcome" (7).
Next on the list were Venezuela and the Russian Federation, followed by Kuwait, Latvia and Iran (perhaps when visiting one of these countries, you should try your best to not look like a tourist?).
On the opposite side of the scale were Iceland, New Zealand and Morocco, which were ranked the world's most welcoming nations for visitors.
Tourism infrastructure, business travel appeal, sustainable development of natural resources and cultural resources were some of the key factors in the rankings. Data was compiled from an opinion survey, as well as hard data from private sources and national and international agencies and organizations such as the World Bank/International Finance Corporation and United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), among others.
The report also emphasized the need for continued development in the travel and tourism sector, pointing out that the industry currently accounts for one in 11 jobs worldwide.
All of the results of the survey can be found after the jump.

Africa's Tallest Statue: The Monument To The African Renaissance
by Sean McLachlan on Apr 26, 2012
Flying or driving into Dakar, the capital of Senegal, it's impossible to miss this imposing statue.
That's deliberate. The Monument to the African Renaissance is supposed to make a statement. At 49 meters (161 feet), it's the tallest statue in Africa. In fact, it's one of the tallest statues anywhere, beating the Statue of Liberty by several feet.
When it was completed in 2010, this giant statue caused a giant controversy. Feminists complained about the secondary status given to the female figure. Imams complained about her scanty clothing. Some complained about its Soviet artistic style, seemingly out of place in Africa, and the fact that it was built by a North Korean company. Lots of people, especially in the West, complained about its $27 million price tag.
Yeah, like the West never wastes money.
Sure, it's brash, it's bold, and it's more than a little out of proportion, but it makes its point: Africa has a big future ahead of it. You see it in everything from Africa's towering skyscrapers to its lively cafe culture, from its newly paved roads to its growing middle class. As a recent editorial by Kenyan author Binyavanga Wainaina stated, Africa isn't like its international image, and big projects like this help the world see Africa differently.
Love it or hate it, this statue has become a major tourist site in Dakar. You can take an elevator up to the top of the guy's head and look out over the city. People are even photographing it as they fly into town, or by flying a camera on a kite like Jeff Attaway did to take the photo below.
Hopefully the next major statement by an African government will be built by an African company.

The music beat in Dakar: Another version of West Africa
by Jamie Rhein on Dec 15, 2009
Grant's series "Into Dakar" brought back memories of my own travels there. For another intimate look into life in Dakar, check out, "The Songs of Senegal" a recent article in the New York Times. For me, reading the article was a trip back to an evening I spent in Farafenni, The Gambia, dancing to a live performance of Youssou N'Dour.
If you travel to The Gambia or Senegal without taking in the music scene, you'll miss a vital part of each country's vibrancy.
As Seth Sherwood, the article's writer, points out, Dakar is one of the least touristed music centers in the world, but one of the most vibrant. This means for anyone traveling there, you can easily become immersed in a scene that is not meant for you.
Each year, the annual Africa Fête, a week long music festival that began on December 12 and ends on 19th, brings top notch groups together for a varied trip into Senegalese music landscape. The scenery is diverse. From folk style to pop to reggae, each music venue offers a unique flavor. If you have designs on a visit to Senegal, December is a terrific month to aim for. The rainy season is long gone, and the temperatures have yet to heat up to sweltering.
Sherwood's article is an excellent place to begin a musical journey into Dakar even if your journey is not going to bring you much further than the music store closest to you. While you browse the West African music selection, imagine the images Sherwood's words evoke.
For a taste of Dakar's music scene, here's a video of Youssou N'dour in concert. N'dour, however, could be heading your way. If you ever have a chance to see him and his musicians live, go.

ONE RAINY AFTERNOON
(director: Rowland V Lee; screenwriters: Maurice Hanline/Stephen Morehouse Avery/story "Monsieur Sans-Gene" by Emeric Pressburger and René Pujol; cinematographer: Peverell Marley/Merritt Gerstad; editor: Margaret Clancy; music: Jack Stern; cast: Francis Lederer (Philippe Martin), Ida Lupino (Monique Pelerin), Hugh Herbert (Toto), Countess Liev de Maigret (Yvonne), Erik Rhodes (Count Alfredo Donstelli), Joseph Cawthorn (Pelerin), Donald Meek (Judge), Eily Malyon (President of Purity League), Roland Young (Maillot), Mischa Auer (Leading Man), Murray Kinnell (Theater Manager), Richard Carle (Minister of Justice); Runtime: 80; MPAA Rating: NR; producer: Jesse L. Lasky; Synergy Entertainment; 1936)
"Substandard screwball comedy has the silliness but lacks the humor, as its directed without an ear for zany comedy by Rowland V Lee."
It's an all wet United Artist remake of the French comedy Monsieur Sans-Gene (1935), whose frothy story is by Emeric Pressburger and René Pujol. The substandard screwball comedy has the silliness but lacks the humor, as its directed without an ear for zany comedy by Rowland V Lee ("Zoo in Budapest"/"Son of Frankenstein"/"Captain Kidd"). Writer Stephen Morehouse Avery tries but fails to sustain comedy over an embarrassing incident in a Paris movie theater, where a minor stage actor gigolo, Philippe Martin (Francis Lederer), when given the wrong seat by the usher to meet his date, after arriving late, mistakenly kisses another woman, the daughter of a powerful newspaper publisher named Monique Pelerin (Ida Lupino), instead of the married lady Yvonne (Countess Liev de Maigret) he had a rendezvous with. In the audience is the busybody President of the Purity League (Eily Malyon), who makes a big deal of it by calling it a national scandal and gets Philippe charged with misconduct. In court, Philippe defends himself by saying it's natural for a Frenchman to be romantic, while being a gentleman and not revealing who the kisses were really intended for. The surprise comes later when it's revealed Yvonne's hubby is a powerful politician.
Philippe's sentenced to three days, but his fine is paid for by Monique. When released Philippe becomes a national celebrity and is welcomed back with a raise to the show he was just fired from by the Savoy Theater producer Maillot (Roland Young), because of the good publicity. Predictably a romance between the actor and publisher's daughter, engaged to a moronic count (Erik Rhodes), is spurred on by the incident.
It lamely plays as a satire on the French politicians and their hypocrisy over morals. Unfortunately it lacks the wit or romantic twist to make the effort worthwhile.
REVIEWED ON 12/28/2012 GRADE: C


Detectives from the Largo Police Department arrested 20 year-old Listen Gainer of Lakeland on charges of arson.
The incident occurred at approximately 1:37 a.m. on Tuesday, February 5, 2019 at the Kings Manor mobile home park located at 1399 S. Belcher Road in Largo.
Police say, a witness observed Gainer fleeing the scene in a dark colored Isuzu Rodeo. The victim immediately recognized the vehicle description and informed officers that his ex-boyfriend drives a maroon Isuzu Rodeo and was a suspect in a similar arson investigation in Tampa (October 2018).
Detectives arranged a phone call between the victim and Gainer. Gainer agreed to return to Largo to meet with the victim, where detectives took him into custody. Detectives recovered a similar torch in his vehicle that was recovered at the scene of the fires. The evidence collected will be evaluated by Tampa Police detectives in the 2018 arson case.
The vehicle fire also left two mobile homes damaged before Largo Fire and Rescue could extinguish the blaze.
Gainer was booked into the Pinellas County Jail later in the day. He remains in custody and a bond hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, February 12, 2019.

Special Issues: Ecological Approaches in Public Health
More than 43 million people worldwide have been forcibly displaced from their homes as a result of conflict and persecution, over 50% of whom are women and 41% are children. The United Nations estimates that two-thirds of the world's refugees have been in exile for over 5 years, and more than half are in urban environments, as opposed to camps. Therefore, long-term strategies for healthcare in receiving countries are needed. The unique challenges facing refugee women as they seek safe and stable living situations are compelling. A system that optimizes the health of women refugees has significant implications for the rest of the family.

1) Stability of income: Doing well in your work and earning good money may excite you to buy property at the moment. But it is very important to analyze your financial condition before making any big purchase. How stable your job is at the moment, will your salary increase in some time, what are your other expenses and how safe is it to invest in an asset are some of the most important questions to answer. If you're uncertain of your future income situation, then picking up a mortgage isn't a really good idea at the moment. Wait for some time and save more money for down payment.
2) Credit Score: A credit score is a statistical number that depicts a person's creditworthiness. Lenders use a credit score to evaluate the possibility of a person to repay his debts. It also determines the rate of interest at which the mortgage will be given if it gets approved by the bank or creditors.
3) Personal commitments: What are your personal goals? What expenses do you see in the near future? Are you getting married or planning a baby? What are the expenses that may delay your mortgage buying? All these events will incur heavy expenses and may delay your property buying task. Ask these questions to yourself and consult your dear ones before planning to take such a major step.
4) Real Estate scenario: What is the real estate trend in your area? Are the property prices going upwards or are in a stable state. If the prices have gone up, will your finances allow you to make that purchase? Some area of your city may be attracting a lot many builders hence the rate of property might be on an upsurge. If the prices are going down, you may be lucky in buying your desired property at affordable rate.
5) Expectations from the property: Buying a home may be for different purposes- it could be for your own use or may be your second home i.e. investment. Since investing in real estate is considered to be the safest bet, a lot many people buy homes and put it on rent to get returns. If you are buying it for your own purpose, you may prefer a specific locality or a specific area, but if buying for investment, you may overlook such points and just concentrate on buying a property that may suit your budget.

By chance they found a derelict farmhouse on the edge of Penzance and decided to buy it – along with 23 acres, 2 cottages and 2 barns for conversion.
After meeting an award-winning Cornish winemaker they decided to plant vines and create their own Cornish vineyard. From their first wine harvest in 2006, they created the first Polgoon wine and were subsequently awarded the Trophy for "Best Still Rose in the UK". This trophy was awarded by the UK Vintners Association, judged by 7 Masters of Wine and sponsored by Waitrose.
The next two harvests also won major national competitions. Unfortunately, after these early successes, Polgoon suffered terrible harvests in 2007 and 2008 after enduring particularly adverse weather conditions, leaving almost no wine! Determined not to be beaten, the Coulsons perfected a Cornish cider called Aval (Cornish for 'apple'), a sparkling cider product made using the Methode Traditionelle, the same method used by French winemakers to produce their sparkling wines . They began to market it locally, and within weeks it had all sold out.
Polgoon then added a further product to their range, namely Raspberry Aval, which won a Gold Medal in the Taste of the West Awards 2009 and was runner up in the National Drinks Awards in the same year. It has gone on to become their bestselling sparkling drink.
The summer of 2009 was a good one for growing and Polgoon had a strong harvest, they also set about developing a range of Cornish ciders to further extend the selection.
During the early part of 2012, a company led by Kim's sister Ali, invested in Polgoon and created Polgoon Vineyard & Orchard, a trading division of Paramount 21 Ltd. With new investment in the business, the Polgoon brand is looking forward to making production more efficient while simultaneously not losing sight of their own artisanal style and commitment to local business.


The archipelago Haida Gwaii lies 80 km off British Columbia and is home to a number of endemics including a subspecies of American Black Bear, Euarctos americanus carlottae (Byun et al. 1997). It seems surprising that a viable population of bears could survive on such isolated and small islands (~10,000 km2 total) which is made further remarkable by Haida Gwaii American Black Bears being the largest subspecies (Byun et al. 1997 – citing Foster 1965). Haida Gwaii bears also have distinctive morphology compared with other bears including a more elongate skull, narrower rostrum, less arched cranium and larger teeth with particularly elongate last upper molars (Osgood 1901).
Haida Gwaii Black Bear (left) and a more typical Black Bear, presumably mainland. From Osgood (1901).
Despite their distinctive morphology, an early mtDNA analysis failed to distinguish Haida Gwaii bears from their coastal relatives (Byun et al. 1997). This, coupled with the coastal/island bears clearly grouping away from continental subspecies, was interpreted as indicating that the coastal/island bears had a recent common ancestor from a glacial refuge, probably in the (now submerged) Hecate Strait (Byun et al. 1997). Agnarsson et al. (2010) found similar results with coastal/island bears forming a distinct clade and with its sub-clades having low bootstrap values (i.e. being infrequently recovered). I'm curious why the Haida Gwaii bears themselves formed a clade only half the time – gene exchange with the mainland certainly cannot be common – but perhaps it could indicate just how recently evolved the bears are. Humans have inhabited Haida Gwaii for 8000 years (Reimchen 1998) and it is strange to think that a distinctive subspecies could evolve while sharing an island with our species.
As for how the Haida Gwaii bears got their size, Byun et al. (1997) hypothesized that they represent the ancestral size while other American Black Bears shrunk. Wolverton & Lyman (1998) commented that large bears from the American Midwest assumed to be Pleistocene in age because of their size were actually only a couple hundred of years old, which makes me wonder if similar assumptions led to Byun et al.'s hypothesis. Whether large size was retained or gained, island-dwelling Black and Brown Bears (Ursus arctos) are generally larger than their mainland counterparts (Meiri et al. 2006). One striking example is the Kodiak Bear (U. a. middendorffi) which parallels the Haida Gwaii bears in being the largest subspecies and living on a surprisingly small archipelago (~14,000 km2) in the Pacific Northwest. What factors could there be on islands which allows them to support bears of such size? For Brown Bears, coastal salmon-eating bears were the largest (Hilderbrand et al. 1999) and Haida Gwaii bears consume considerable amounts of Chum Salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) (Reimchen 2000). Of course I haven't seen a correlation between salmon availability and Black Bear size tested yet and there could very well be a host of other minor factors which allowed Haida Gwaii bears to reach their superlative size. Say, isn't there supposed to be an 'Island Rule' where large mammals get smaller and vice versa? It seems not to apply to carnivorans (Meiri et al. 2006) – so why is it still referred to as a "rule?"?

D'Souza's Case and My Role in His Film
Published in National Review Online on February 3, 2014
Serious questions have been raised about whether the indictment of Dinesh D'Souza on charges that he violated campaign-finance law represents selective prosecution, double standards, and other forms of political mischief. I have a personal interest in the case, which wraps together with my continuing questions about President Obama's political past.
Two weeks before D'Souza was indicted, he filmed an interview with me for inclusion in his forthcoming film, America. In that interview, I discussed the ideological radicalism and intimidation tactics of the founder of community organizing, Saul Alinsky, as well as the entanglement of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton in the world of Alinsky and his disciples. The interview touched on various aspects of Obama's political history, many still largely unknown to the wider public. (D'Souza's new film has a much broader focus than Obama and Hillary, although they will certainly be covered.)
I don't know anything about D'Souza's conduct during the 2012 New York senate race, but I do know something about the thuggish tactics that Obama's people deploy on his behalf. During the 2008 presidential campaign I had some first-hand experience. There was the initial blocking of my access to documents about Obama's past and unanswered questions about how this happened. There was the Obama campaign's attempts to prevent me from discussing my findings about the Obama-Ayers relationship on Milt Rosenberg's radio show. There was the Obama campaign's over-the-top attempts to discredit me, and its false denials (very arguably, knowingly false) when I pointed to evidence that Obama had joined a leftist third party.
A variety of incidents, from the Obama campaign's attacks on me in 2008, to theirtreatment of David Freddoso, to the Obama administration's 2009 "War on Fox News," to the IRS scandal, show that the Obama administration is perfectly capable of politically motivated targeting designed to silence, discredit, and intimidate critics.
Despite my familiarity with Alinsky-style moves to silence "enemies," in 2008 I at first believed that the Obama campaign's attempts to keep me off the radio had backfired politically and would not likely be repeated. The Freddoso incident proved me wrong. The Obama camp was willing to brave a spate of bad publicity — so long as it was generally confined to conservative circles — for the sake of keeping critical accounts, as well as damaging information about Obama's political past, out of broader circulation. The willingness of the mainstream press to ignore negative information about Obama's past, and to largely overlook his attempts to suppress such information, vindicated this hardball strategy.
I've had some differences with D'Souza over the years, yet my respect for his work is real. His first book, Illiberal Education, helped to place me on my current trajectory. I took strong public exception, on the other hand, to The Enemy at Home.
D'Souza's Obama studies have strengths as well as weaknesses. Was Obama's political development shaped by knowledge of his absent father's socialism? I believe it was. In foreign affairs, has Obama's evident preference for "managed decline" been influenced by his African family's fraught encounter with the legacy of colonialism? I believe it has.
It's not implausible to attribute outsized significance to Obama's struggle with his absent father's legacy. That is the premise of Dreams from My Father, after all. Yet in concentrating so heavily on Obama's earliest years, D'Souza weakens his case. To be rounded and convincing, any account of the president's ideological development has to pay more attention to Obama's adulthood than D'Souza has done up to now.
D'Souza would concede this point, I believe, which is why he'll have more to say about Alinskyism in his forthcoming work, and why he sought me out to speak to the issue for his film. D'Souza understands the need to grapple more directly than he has with Obama the community organizer and the budding politician. That said, nothing in Obama's later development is fundamentally at odds with D'Souza's portrait of the young Obama.
Ultimately, D'Souza's minor sins of rhetoric and emphasis pale by comparison to the mainstream press's refusal even to acknowledge, much less grapple with, the reality of the president's radical political past. Consider that President Obama joineda leftist third-party and allowed his 2008 campaign to lie about it to the American people.
Had it been learned at any point in his presidency that President George W. Bush once joined a rightist third-party and had lied about it during his first presidential election campaign, the story would have been on every network newscast and every front page in the country for days, if not weeks. Yet when Obama's affiliation with a far-left party was demonstrated by archival documents, the major outlets said nothing.
So when D'Souza asked me to speak about this and other issues for his forthcoming film, I was more than happy to do so.
For many, this will all be water under the bridge. But political lies do have a way of coming back to haunt their perpetrators. That is, of course, what happened with Obamacare, which could never have passed without the president's claims that you can keep your plan, keep your doctor, and save big money to boot. What encouraged Obama to believe he could get away with these lies if not his earlier success at suppressing the truth about his political past? The press had rolled over once. Surely they would do so again. They did.
Over time, there will be a reckoning. Friends and associates of Obama have apparently already made available to sympathetic historians various document — letters, event transcripts, and such — that will enlarge the account of Obama's radical past I laid out in Radical-in-Chief and Spreading the Wealth. We will not see this material until Obama's term is over. When it finally emerges, I hope historians will allow the public access to the full texts, and not simply secondary summaries, of these important yet currently unavailable documents.
In a sense, the process has already begun, since, as I point out in Radical-in-Chief, David Remnick's Obama biography acknowledges the truth of some of the most contested claims by Obama's critics, if only in "blink-or-you'll-miss-it" fashion.
Given this history, I am less than surprised to discover that a motion picture project with prospects of conveying poorly known facts about Obama's radical past to a broad audience has hit a speed bump.
The decidedly non-conservative Alan Dershowitz rails against the D'Souza case, calling it "an outrageous prosecution and certainly a misuse of resources." Elsewhere, Dershowitz says, "I can't help but think that [D'Souza's] politics have something to do with it. . . . it smacks of selective prosecution." (Paul Rahe'scomments on the Dershowitz defense of D'Souza are well worth a read, as is Andy McCarthy's important piece on D'Souza here at NRO.)
Yet a Reuters investigation by Alison Frankel, which makes an argument that D'Souza was not unfairly targeted, may be most telling in the end. After significant research and reporting, Frankel acknowledges that given the amount of money involved, the charges against D'Souza are unusual. Her "gut feeling," she says, is that "prosecutors like to make examples of notable alleged law-breakers, whatever their politics."
That prosecutors are "making an example"of D'Souza is itself an important concession. D'Souza's treatment — heavy criminal charges for an alleged infraction usually considered a misdemeanor — is atypical, even according to Frankel.
Yet if prosecutors make examples of high-profile defendants, regardless of their politics, where are the liberal political pundits, left-leaning Hollywood filmmakers, or other celebrities on the left who've been charged as D'Souza has for the same alleged infraction? They may exist, but until we see examples, the most carefully reported D'Souza-unfriendly piece I've found in the mainstream press seems actually to buttress the argument that he's been unfairly targeted.
Having said all this, if Dinesh D'Souza is found guilty of campaign-finance violations, he ought to pay a price. But will the penalty be just, given what appear to be inflated charges? At the moment, I'm inclined to doubt it.
I remain convinced that, in the fullness of time, a more truthful account of President Obama's political history and ideological leanings will emerge. In an effort to make that happen sooner rather than later, I am pleased to appear in Dinesh D'Souza's forthcoming film, America.

Gen. Olanrewaju's illogic on LASU VC job
Buy Cheap MTN, Glo, 9Mobile, Airtel Data/Airtime VTU Services
By Ayodele Olu Peters
But for the possibility of some gullible members of the public being misled by his mischievous antics, there would have been no need to respond to a recent statement by Gen. Tajudeen Olanrewaju (rtd) titled 'No to imposition of LASU VC'.
The statement is riddled with so much illogic and brazen falsehood that if he had been more reflective, Gen. Olanrewaju would have refrained from appending his signature to such a document.
His undisguised aim is to portray one of the aspirants for the vacant position of vice chancellor of the Lagos State University (LASU), Prof. Ibiyemi Bello, as unqualified for the position. Yet, he offers no iota of proof to disprove her academic credentials, administrative and managerial competence or her ethical integrity.
Rather, Olanrewaju alleges without supporting facts, that there is an attempt to impose Prof. Bello as the next VC of LASU "over better qualified indigenes of Lagos State".
Going by Olanrewaju's absurd reasoning and flawed logic, Prof. Bello is not qualified for the position because her husband, Mr. Tunji Bello, is a long-serving public servant in Lagos State and currently the Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources.
In what way does this have to do with his wife's suitability and eligibility for the office of VC of LASU if she meets the stipulated criteria? Is her husband's political career a valid reason to jeopardize her own career progression in her chosen sphere of endeavour? By the way, unlike Olanrewaju, who served as Minister of Communications under a discredited military administration and with no worthy legacy or imprint of achievements to show for it, Tunji Bello has, in this political dispensation, served under elected administrations and his record of performance in his assigned spheres of responsibility is to well known to detain us here.
Indeed, Tunji Bello was at the forefront of the barricades on the streets of Lagos during the protracted pro-democracy struggles against the oppressive military dictatorships that Gen. Olanrewaju was part and parcel of.
Olanrewaju claims that Tunji Bello is from Kogi State. Again, what has that got to do with his wife's legitimate aspiration to become LASU VC? But the interesting thing is that this claim by the General is patently false. I am aware, for instance, that Tunji Bello was awarded Lagos State Scholarship for his university education. His father was elected into the Lagos City Council twice under the Action Group (AG) in the First Republic. Tunji Bello's family house is at Ita Akano on Lagos Island, specifically No. 32, Ajishomo Street, off Nnamdi Azikwe, Lagos Island, known as Bello's compound. It is very close to Lagos Central Mosque.
Although she is from Ondo State, Prof. Bello's mother is an indigene of Lagos State from Olowogbowo on Lagos Island. Again, but for Olanrewaju's petty and reactionary distractions, what do all of these have to do with qualification and suitability for the Vice Chancellorship of LASU?
There are clearly stipulated criteria for qualification to apply for the position of VC at LASU and other Nigerian universities. These criteria meet international standards in our globalised world in which universities seek to meet global criteria of excellence. Any aspirant who did not meet LASU's criteria in their advertisement for applications to fill the vacant position of VC at the institution would not even be short-listed for participation in the selection process in the first place. Nowhere do the criteria demand that applicants for the position or their spouses must be indigenes of Lagos State. Incidentally, the first female LASU VC, who served with distinction, the late Prof. Jadesola Akande, was not from Lagos state. It is noteworthy that Prof. Bello was deputy vice chancellor to Prof. Lateef Hussien as VC and later served as Acting VC.
Gen. Olanrewaju claims that this is the third time in 10 years that Professor Bello will be contesting for the position. Again, is this a crime? Is there any limit to the number of times an eligible aspirant can compete for the position once they meet the requisite advertised criteria? This kind of pedestrian, even illiterate, reasoning is a disgrace to a person who rose to the rank of General in the Nigerian military. He claims that Prof. Fatiu Akesode contested for the Vice Chancellorship of Ogun State University some years ago and was rejected and asked to go back home to Lagos State. Olanrewaju cites no evidence to back this assertion. If Prof. Akesode was unsuccessful in his alleged bid to be appointed VC of the then OSU, the reasons cannot be as crude and simplistic as Olanrewaju put it. In any case, is such clannishness, if true, an example for any university that seeks global excellence and reckoning to follow?
The eminent academics and university administrators from Lagos State cited by Gen. Olanrewaju as being qualified for the position must be embarrassed that they are being portrayed as incapable of competing purely on merit. This is most unfair. After all, the eligibility to apply for the VC position is not even limited to academics at LASU. Pretending to be fighting the cause of indigenes even when he cannot point to a single thing he achieved for Lagos State during his years in public office under the military, Gen, Olanrewaju writes, "Surely, this is not the vision of Alhaji Lateef Jakande who built the institution more than thirty five years ago to give the indigenes a quality education and at once give the indigenous professionals a place in the sun".
Olanrewaju is grossly mistaken. Alhaji Jakande was not so narrow- minded and restrictive in his vision and reasoning. That is why he created Lagos State University (LASU) and not Lagos State Indigenes' university. Lagos indigenes number among distinguished academics that can compete with the best anywhere in the world. They do not need Olanrewaju's misbegotten and self-serving advocacy, which only diminishes and detracts from their undoubted competence and distinguished attainments. LASU is a fast growing university of continuously increasing global stature that attracts quality teaching and non-teaching staff as well as students from across Nigeria and even beyond. It is too late in the day to confine LASU to a backwater, clannish institution as the likes of Olanrewajus desire.

If you're planning to transform your attic into residing space, you in all probability know already that you are making a financially smart decision. No matter which approach you go, you will need to have the roof designed with a slope that helps snow and water easily slide off. These designs offer you lots of space for storing above your head. It's because they've thorough knowledge about the local weather extremities and other conditions that can weaken or injury your own home roofs.
Starting again with that inverted "V," the shed-fashion addition roof is a flat airplane say the shape of a ground tile or square cracker that meets one "leg" of the upside-down "V" someplace. We offer cost-efficient expertise in maintenance, reinforcement, restoration and new roofing systems.
Any such roof is a delicate slope to encouraging rain-water to run off. Earlier than transforming, you should discuss with the contractor about the kind of roofing material you wish to use. You also want to take a look at the development materials used to build the facility and the location of HVAC and hearth protection equipment, particularly if either or both of those are partially or completely housed on the rooftop.
If you are making an attempt to scale back costs for your venture, you'll want to find and construct the steps in the very best point of access and in a means that involves the least modification of the prevailing structure. These roll products create a waterproof layer that the asphalt shingles are installed on top of. One of the best steel roof profiles that's designed to be used on low slope roofs is the PBR profile.
With years of expertise and thousands of sturdy, climate-resistant roofs to our credit score, we realize our fame rides on each venture we undertake. There may be the consideration with this conservatory design that inner usable house is lost by the incorporation of the bay, nevertheless if the prevailing house has a bay window this model may very properly be the most applicable.

Nautical Jokes
Health & Safety on a Submarine
Thread starter TonyN

On board HMS Vulnerable Somewhere in the north Atlantic 00.43hrs Zulu time. The giant sub had been sitting 40 metres below the churning waves for eight straight hours. The crew were edgy, nervous, sweaty, knowing that the fate of the nation and the free world was being discussed in the skipper's wardroom. The order to fire the boat's nuclear weapons deep into the heart of enemy territory had been received and authenticated at 08.00hrs. But now it was gone midnight and still the missiles were in their tubes.
Behind the oak-panelled door of his cabin, Captain Clint Thrust was listening wearily to his health and safety executive officer, Nigel Ormskirk, who had read the risk assessment form and was not satisfied.
"Captain, you say here that these missiles contain plutonium and you are proposing that we detonate them over a city. Do you not realise people could be hurt here?"
Twenty-five-year-old Ormskirk had left Keele University with a third in human resources, having impressed the examiners with his paper on the perils of hand and arm vibration injuries among stone masons. Since being posted to the sub fleet, he had chalked up a number of successes, chief among which was changing his boat's name from HMS Vanquish to HMS Vulnerable. He was particularly proud of his 1997 "Be Seen" campaign after which the sub had not hit a single trawler. Thrust, the gnarled old salty sea dog captain, had objected, of course, saying the point of a submarine was rather lost if it was bright orange and had to spend its entire time on the surface. But what did he know.
"You see," Ormskirk was saying . . . But a shrill beep from the PA system cut him off: "Con. Sonar. Contact bearing 270 degrees. It's a destroyer, sir, and it's coming right at us." Thrust keyed the mike. "Stay calm, people. We've plenty of air cover. They can take care of this."
On board the aircraft carrier HMS Weak Somewhere near the Vulnerable 00.47hrs Zulu Time. Veteran pilot Jack Kill simply could not believe what he was being told by the Weak's health and safety officer, Ron Stapleford. "This is a Harrier GR7," he screamed. "What do you mean by saying the wings don't look long enough?" "I'm just saying," said Ron in his Brummie drawl, "that with all those bombs and missiles, it really doesn't look very safe." "Look," said Kill. "We've just got word from the Vulnerable that she's under attack. I have to get out there with my cargo of death. I must spit fire into that enemy ship or the war will be lost and your children will grow up speaking Russian." "Don't worry," said Ron. "Ormskirk's on the Vulnerable. He's a good man. He'll make sure they're safe."
On board the Vulnerable somewhere in the north Atlantic 00.55hrs Zulu time The depth charges were raining down, sending the orange sub reeling from side to side. Thrust was barking orders to the helmsman: "Flood tubes one and four." "Sorry, sir," said the burly helmsman. "New regulations from health and safety. After the Herald of Free Enterprise disaster, the doors have been welded shut."
"Oh, for Christ's sake," yelled Thrust as yet another depth charge hammered the hull. "Where's Ormskirk?"
He was in the galley, a look of abject horror on his face: "For crying out loud. How many times do I have to tell you people that you must not store meat and dairy products in the same fridge. Do you want to have tummy ache?"
Before they could answer, an enormous explosion ripped the propeller from its mountings and a wall of freezing sea water spurted into the engine room. "Close all hatches," yelled Thrust over the PA system. Oh no, thought Ormskirk. Some of the men have boyfriends back there. They must be allowed to try to save them.
Back in the engine room, the trapped men were trying to open the hatch to get out before the north Atlantic claimed yet another teenage soul. Some were screaming. Some were praying. Some were struggling with the latch. But each and every one breathed a sigh of relief when the man from health and safety appeared at the window. "Do you need counselling?" he said. "No," they shouted. "We want you to open this hatch. It can only be done from the outside." "Yes," said Ormskirk, "that's a valid safety point and I'll be sure to file a report when we get back." "Open the bloody thing," they shouted. "I can't," said Ormskirk. "You know as well as I do that it's a two-man job. I could crick my back if I tried to do it on my own."
But then he had an idea. He opened a secure channel to Thrust. "Captain: there are men back here in water that's 4oC colder than we recommend. I order you to surrender."
Gulag 43 Siberia, Russia - Three months later.
It was a grey, misty morning and silence hung over the prison yard like an old dishcloth as Nigel Ormskirk was tied to the bullet-ridden post.
"Ready," screamed the Russian execution party leader. "Take aim . . . "
"Hold on a minute," said Nigel. "You aren't allowed to use loaded weapons unless there's a trained armourer on the . . ."
"Fire!."

Q: Describing the topology of the set $\{e^{i\theta} : -\pi<\theta \leq \pi\}$ The question asks to describe some topological features of the set $\{e^{i\theta} : -\pi<\theta \leq \pi\}$.
More precisely, to explain whether the set is open, closed, neither or both and also whether or not it is bounded or if its connected?
After some research, I came to the conclusion that the graph would just be of a unit circle. Although, based on that knowledge, how can I know whether or not this set is open, closed, or neither?

A: The set is of course exactly the unit circle $S^1=\{z \in \Bbb C\mid |z|=1\}$: all $e^{i\theta}$ have length 1 and all argument values from $(-\pi,\pi]$ occur (so no gaps, or skipped points).
The set $S^1$ is the continuous image of $[-\pi,pi]$ under the continuous function $t \to e^{it}$, so as closed intervals are compact and connected in $\Bbb R$, so is $S^1$ in $\Bbb C$. Being compact, it's also closed there (and by consequence not open, as $\Bbb C$ is connected, although it's clear geometrically that no open ball in $\Bbb C$ sits inside the circle, so its interior is empty).

While we all wait on you know who to drop off his new album, Harlem's very own, A$AP Ferg is back with something new. This time around Ferg serves up a homage to his hometown, offering up a track called "Harlem Anthem." The track finds Ferg paying homage to this hometown and some of its notable residents. The track is pushed by these hard-hitting, snappy drums while paired with some slick melodic elements.
The combination provides a stunning home for the wordsmith to do his thing, and he doesn't disappoint. The track is pushed by a classic sample off of Public Enemy's "Welcome to the Terrordome," while Ferg pays the highest respects to Harlem. Along the way, he also celebrates two of the borough's most influential artists ever, Cam'Ron and Ma$e.
The track will live on the upcoming Uncle Drew soundtrack due out on June 15th. Check out the brand new single in the stream below and give us your thoughts in the comments below. Keep it locked for much more from A$AP Ferg coming very soon.
