As Long As He Needs Me
I felt his finger trace my spine from top to bottom. If I'd have been able, I would have let out a sigh of pleasure. I know he only loved me for my inner knowledge and the stories I could tell but, when he wrapped his strong hands around me and gently picked me up, I knew that we would both be satisfied within a few minutes.

The Gallery : A Picture I Am Proud Of
I am not really going to say much about these two photos this week - see the description below each picture. As you know, I'm not a serious photographer by any means so when I snap something that photographer friends comment on (these have been posted on Facebook previously) then I feel a little bit chuffed.

The One Where I Am Roasted!
Roasting can mean one of four things:
- a sexual act between at least three participants. normally involving more than one Premiership footballer, a 'glamour model' with a Sunday newspaper journalist on speed dial and someone with a video camera and a shaky hand;
- to be cooked with dry heat, usually in an oven;
- subjected to ridicule, laughter or negative criticism;
- an event where comedic insults, praise and heart-warming tributes are directed towards someone, implying that they are able to take the joking in good humour.

Cancer - Your Story : Here To Tell The Tale
Editors note: This is Divnah's story - the tenth in a series that I have called "Cancer - Your Story". I know I keep promoting the power of Twitter but here is another example of extended networks. I didn't know Divnah until she contacted me at the beginning of June after seeing one of the 'Cancer - Your Story' links tweeted out by a mutual Twitter contact. She emailed me and offered to share her story.
If you are interested in sharing your story please click on the link and contact me.

Dear Mr Brown. Ref: The Lost Symbol
I have just finished reading your book (yes, I know I'm a bit late with this one. I'm not a slow reader, I've just been busy. Plus it costs less now.) and, like with The Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons, I got swept away with the mystical secrecy and the code breaking elements.
Ooh, ironic moment - me using italics to make a point...
Anyway, I did enjoyed the book in the main and I have two ideas for your next one:
Or both...
And finally, I managed to finish Deception Point whilst on holiday earlier this year. I made myself read it all after a couple of years of trying. Not one of your finer works. That is all. Thank you.

The Gallery : A Memory
This picture is of my daugher, Rachel and was taken by the nursing staff on Borchardt Ward at Pendlebury Children's Hospital. It was given to me to reassure me that whilst I went home for a rare break, she was well looked after and she didn't constantly cry.
Both of these photos hold different memories. The first photo reminds me of a time we thought we'd never get through; heartbreaking, endless - a black tunnel with no light at the end of it. The second photo reminds me how wondrous modern medicine is and how lucky we were to be given the chance to continue 'normal' family life. I'm sure Rachel thought, at times, that I was over-protective but each time we argued about a risk she was taking (usually teenage curiosity) or I told her that I needed to know where she was and gave her a curfew time, it was only because I'd almost lost her once and I didn't want to lose her again.
Full story: There are only so many perfect heads in the world...

I only wanted two new books to read
I am a fairly savvy online shopper and I know that buying online doesn't always go to plan, however I was the very appreciative recipient of a gift voucher to spend on Amazon UK. My eyes lit up, I rubbed my hands together, flexed my fingers and clicked on the quick-link in my browser favourites bar, navigating to my ever-growing "wish list" to select a couple of items.
Because my Open University reading list can be quite heavy, I opted for two recommended reads - Look Back In Hunger by Jo Brand and The Tent, The Bucket and Me by Emma Kennedy. Then I spotted some shoes (bargain of the YEAR - reduced from £122 to £27), opted for "free super saver delivery", paid with the voucher and felt rather pleased with my new purchases. I was a tad nervous as I had never used a gift voucher on Amazon previously but the "Thanks For Your Order" email dropped into my email box and I started to allow myself to get excited.
That was on the 26th of July.
On the 29th of July the shoes were delivered. I tried them on, tottered around the house for a bit, pointing my feet this way and that, admiring the gorgeousness of the new shoes, bragged about them on Facebook and I am now looking for a special enough occasion to wear them.
The books hadn't arrived.
On the 7th August, I realised that the books still hadn't materialised so I sent off an email to Amazon asking them if there was a delay with the order. I received a fairly standard email back explaining that they had been dispatched from their warehouse on the 27th of July and delivery was expected by the 2nd of August. Because of their maximum time allowances I had to contact them again on the 16th of August if the books still hadn't arrived.
The books didn't arrive.
The following is a transcript of the emails that have passed between myself and Amazon Customer Services since the 16th of August. It is worth pointing out that I am not allowed to email them direct but I have to fill a form in each time I need to reply to them. They email me back with a transcript of my email at the bottom of the email.
NAME: Nicola OHara
COMMENTS: To whom it may concern.
After previous contact with yourselves and being asked to wait until today I have to inform you that the items from [order number and description of books] still have not been delivered.
Please could you advise your next course of action?

Dear Customer
Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.
First, please allow me to apologies for the inconvenience this matter has caused
I have checked your order, and I can see that your order was dispatched in 2 separate shipments :
Shipment # :1
[the books]
Shipment # :2
[the boots]
NAME: Nicola OHara
COMMENTS: To confirm - the order that is undelivered is shipment #1.
Thank you
16 August 2010 21:17
Dear Customer
It does appear that something may have gone awry with the delivery of your order - the package should have reached you by now.
Normally, in this situation, I would create a replacement order for the lost item right away, to be dispatched to you as soon as possible at no additional charge.
Unfortunately, at the moment, "Pepe Jeans Women's Donna Bootie Brown DO-110B 6 UK" is unavailable from our suppliers and we are unable to send a replacement. Although the item might be available on our website from third party sellers, we are unable to source items from them. However, we will be happy to issue a full refund for this order.
I have requested a refund to your payment card for this purchase in the amount of 27.20 GBP. Refunds usually go through within 2 to 3 business days and you will see this amount credited on your next statement.
Oh... hang on a minute... can you spot the glaring error? I have missing books, not missing boots!
NAME: Nicola O'Hara
COMMENTS: To whom it may concern.
I have tried to provide the correct and appropriate information for a refund or replacement of the undelivered parcel but you have still managed to get it wrong. I CONFIRMED that the part of the order that was missing was SHIPMENT 1 - THE BOOKS (Please read my previous email in full) and NOT the shoes.
Now you have refunded an incorrect amount to my credit card (even though I did not pay by credit card) and I still have no books.
Can you suggest the next course of action please as I have been waiting longer than the recommended period of time now.

Dear Customer
I have reviewed our previous correspondence with you and would like to offer my sincere apologies for the misunderstanding.
We do understand from your message that you have not yet received the books from shipment #1 of your [order number]
I can see that you have edited the delivery address given for this order and entered the same address again in your account address book. Once you edit a delivery address of an order, it will get deactivated and new address will be added.
Please understand that we are not having an option to create replacement for a deactivated address.
In this case, to rectify the situation, we would like to have your permission to charge your credit card in the amount of 17.85 GBP (27.20 - 9.35) for the remaining cost of the refund.
NAME: Nicola OHara
COMMENTS: You DO NOT have permission to charge my credit card with anything. The goods were purchased on a gift voucher and not my credit card. I have not given you permission to "refund" any amount to my credit card regardless of what your normal procedure may be. The whole point of me using a gift voucher is because it was a prize in a competition. I would not have been purchasing from Amazon at this time in the year as I have banned myself from spending any more money on my credit card, although, as that is a personal matter and no concern of Amazon's, I am quite embarrassed to have to raise that with you. On the whole, your presumptions and the buying experience has NOT been a positive experience and has taken up far more of my time than I envisaged.
I HAVE NOT edited any delivery address. I have DELETED a gift address that was used in May but this was actually after the gift had (miraculously) been delivered. That has never been a primary delivery address.
You may now suggest another course of action that meets with my agreement. If you had read the emails correctly in the first place and the delivery had arrived then we wouldn't be in this situation.

Dear Customer
I have checked your order and can confirm that our colleague 'Balaji G.' have incorrectly issued refund for the item "Pepe Jeans Women's Donna Bootie Brown DO-110B 6 UK" instead of books of amount 27.20 GBP to your gift certificate balance.
Your current gift certificate balance in your account is 30.65 GBP.
As we have already processed the refund for this order we are unable to send the replacement order.
As your refund has already been processed, we would like to have your permission to charge your account 17.85 GBP from your gift certificate balance as we have incorrectly issued refund of amount 30.65 GBP instead of 9.35 GBP.
Please be assured that you will only be charged for this order from your gift certificate balance used for this order and you will not be charged from your credit card.
YAY! Result... Oh how quick I am to celebrate...
YAY! Result... Oh how quick I am to celebrate...

Please also confirm that this will appear on my Amazon account the next time I order something.

AARRGGHH!!! We're right back where we started again!!
Dearest Amazon, this is SO not over yet. I am NOT going to get excited about extra money in my gift voucher account that probably isn't mine! It's not difficult, really, is it? You refund me £9.35 and I re-order the books.

I have written this for the Writing Workshop that is run by Josie at Sleep Is For The Weak. This week was Workshop #34 and I have taken my cue from prompt # - write about something you struggled to let go of. I have a real problem with sloppy customer service, especially in large, international companies who are turning over masses of profits thanks to people like you and me. This may seem like a pathetic amount of money to get aggravated about but, to me, it's the principle of the matter. My few pence are just as important as a multi-million pound deal.

He addresses a very important subject matter here and has asked me to reach out within my network to bring your attention to this situation and hopefully help you to understand how important knowing basic first aid is.

Review: ila DUSK Personal Alarm
The ila Dusk is an innovative personal safety alarm produced by British technology entrepreneurs, Simon McGivern and James Phillips of ila Security Ltd who identified the need for stylish personal products for women. The ila Dusk was launched in 2009 and has since been endorsed as "the most effective alarm on the market" and has been endorsed by Jacqui Hames (detective and presenter on BBC Crimewatch).
A British Crime survey revealed that 25% of women admit to travelling through dark streets alone at night without informing anyone of their whereabouts whilst 75% admit to feeling unsafe when someone is walking behind them. The ila Dusk gives women confidence by giving them control of the situation and making themselves as safe as possible.
The personal alarm works by emitting an ear-piercing female shriek when activated that will shock and disorientate any attacker. This combats a situation where adrenalin can cause loss of voice - the ila Dusk screams for you. This personal alarm will fit perfectly onto your keyring (its size is 3.5cm x 7cm) and comes in a variety of patterns.

Editors note: This is Kat's story and is the eighth in the "Cancer - Your Story" series. Kat is a Military Mom from the USA, currently living in the UK. I think this story is very fitting for this time of year when a lot of families are jetting off to sunnier climes, searching for that confidence building tan. It is also something that is covered extensively in the media.

The release date is getting close I thought to myself. For six years I had shut myself away to work on my latest project; something that would change the way in which the world perceives human nature, free speech, emotion and public outcry. I was finally going to be in control and not one single person in the whole world would know that that were taking part in this experiment.

The Gallery : Playtime
When I saw this week's prompt I had almost made the decision not to participate for a number of reasons. Firstly, my children are older now; they don't 'play' in the traditional sense and I'm bored of trying to capture the perfect trampoline picture on a very temperamental camera. Secondly, the flat-bed scanner at home is kaput so scanning in old pictures was a no-go area. Finally, I have only seen my grandchildren once this week so quick snap-shots of them had also proved to be elusive. So where do I go from here?

Before Hollywood – The Go-Betweens
Before Hollywood
(1983), 9/10
The Go-Betweens' second album, and the last the group recorded as a three piece, was their critical breakthrough, containing their signature song 'Cattle and Cane'. Guitarist/songwriter Robert Forster, bassist/songwriter Grant McLennan and drummer Lindy Morrison had moved to London following their debut, and signed with Rough Trade. Before Hollywood was recorded in Eastbourne's International Christian Communication Studios, with minimal overdubs, although guest keyboardist Bernard Clarke provides graceful piano on 'Dusty In Here' and swirling organ on 'That Way'.
Despite the thin sound – the group's other first tier records (Liberty Belle, 16 Lovers Lane, and Oceans Apart) are all much more studio based and lushly produced – Before Hollywood stands up as one of the group's best records, one of their most consistent sets of songs. It's McLennan's childhood reminiscence 'Cattle and Cane' that's the most noteworthy song here, recently voted as one of the ten greatest Australian songs of all time, with its weird time signature and nostalgic lyrics ("I recall a schoolboy coming home/through fields of cane/to a house of tin and timber.") The organ led 'That Way', which sounds like a cross between The Monkees, Bob Dylan, and Television (a conglomeration which sums up the group's sound pretty well) shows McLennan's ability in well-crafted, understated pop. McLennan's other stunner is the minimalist, understated 'Dusty In Here', almost pared down to a lonely piano. Balancing McLennan's nostalgia and romanticism, Forster's nervy pop is tense and hooky. 'As Long As That' ("I've got a feeling, sounds like a fact") is his most accessible, while 'Ask' and 'On My Block' throw lots of energy around.
One of the best, and most over-looked, records to come out of late new wave, Before Hollywood is markedly different than the group's subsequent albums, but excellent nonetheless.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- The rookie is a babe, 21 years old, driving in his first Winston Cup event at Daytona International Speedway. His victory yesterday in the first of two Gatorade Twin 125 qualifiers for Sunday's Daytona 500 made him the youngest Winston Cup driver to win the event.
When Jeff Gordon crossed the finish line, he literally bounced up and down in his seat "as much as I could in those seat belts" and started "screaming and hollering" into his headset, he was so happy.
The veteran is a five-time champion, 41 years old, competing in his 43rd Winston Cup event here and winner of a Twin qualifier for the fourth straight year.

A new generation has taken over the reins at home-grown retail icon CK Tang.
The company, best known for its Orchard Road department store Tangs, yesterday named Mr Sean Tang Wen-Wei, 32, the eldest son of Mr Tang Wee Kit, as its new chief executive with immediate effect.
Mr Sean Tang already sits on the board of Tang Holdings - run by his father - and CK Tang, which is 98.3 per cent owned by Tang Holdings.
Mr Tang Wee Kit is chairman of CK Tang's executive committee and executive chairman of Tang Holdings.
CK Tang's former chief executive Kevin Dyson left the firm in August last year, following a change in the company's ownership and board of directors.
He was CEO for five months. After Mr Dyson's departure, the heads of departments reported to the executive committee team, which Mr Sean Tang is part of.
Mr Dyson, a retail veteran who spent 24 years at American retailer Barneys New York, joined Tangs as chief operating officer in September 2014.
He was senior vice-president and general manager of Barneys' Madison Avenue flagship store before joining the Singapore retailer.
He was hired by then-chairman Mr Tang Wee Sung, who retired in August last year.
Mr Tang Wee Sung's retirement was part of a "family succession plan" that began in May 2006.
This saw his brother Mr Tang Wee Kit's Tang Holdings take over CK Tang, which had been held by several parties. CK Tang was delisted in 2009.
This article by The Straits Times was published in The New Paper, a free newspaper published by Singapore Press Holdings.

A Dalhousie University researcher believes that something as simple as a lumpy belt could lead to increased live births and more robust babies born in developing countries.
Allan Kember, a Prince Edward Island native and first-year medical student at Dalhousie, is leading a study to see whether pregnant mothers who wear a specially designed belt to bed during their third trimester are more likely to deliver healthy infants.
The belt is intended to help keep the women from sleeping on their backs.
"Pregnancy and sleep is an emerging field," Kember said.
The premise is that while a pregnant woman is on her back, the weight of her uterus presses down on veins that feed her heart and results in decreased blood flow back to the placenta and the baby, he said.
The belt is designed to subtly create pressure points that will naturally cause a sleeping woman to shift her position while sleeping.
Data shows that pregnant women spend up to a quarter of the night sleeping on their backs, which equates to roughly 130 hours during their third trimester, he said.
Kember and his team will be testing the belt this spring on 25 pregnant volunteers in the Queen Elizabeth II Health Science Centre's sleep clinic starting next month.
They'll monitor the women to see how effectively the belt modifies their sleeping position.
However, Kember is already looking down the road a few months to when his partners in Ghana will test out the belt on 100 pregnant women in that country.
Two hundred women will be required to participate in the study, but only half the women will be given the belt to wear, he said. Researchers then follow up with the two groups of women to see whether wearing the belt resulted in an increased incidence of live births and fewer low-birth-weight babies.
Sub-Saharan Africa reports the highest rate of stillbirths in the world and has some of the highest rates of low birth weights, he said.
Kember estimates that, if successful, the belt could cut the number of stillbirths in Ghanaian women by about 26 per cent and low-birth-weight babies by about 17 per cent.
The project has recently received $100,000 in federal funding through a grant from Grand Challenges Canada.
Kember is also a mechanical and biomedical engineer and worked with Global Innovations for Reproductive Health & Life before entering med school. He and Ali Borazjani of GIRHL developed the idea of the belt, although Kember says he's leading the project.
The idea that back sleeping was contributing to low birth weight and stillbirths first came from a group of Australian midwives, he said.
There, researchers tried to encourage pregnant mothers to consciously try not to sleep on their backs. However, they found that worrying about sleep positions actually interfered with the women's sleep.
Kember is hoping that pregnant mothers will be able to relax and rely on the belt to keep them off their backs.

The key to a comfortable, spacious home is good organization. Clutter and poorly placed furniture can make a place feel significantly smaller than it really is, so it's important to be strategic when it comes to organizing storage space. Even the biggest home can feel cramped and overcrowded if you leave your possessions carelessly strewn across the house.
The same principle is applied to small homes. A modest living space can offer so much if you know how to place and store all of your belongings. Over the past couple of years, tiny houses have become incredibly popular, and they largely depend on strategic organization. If you think those minuscule dwellings are impressive, just wait until you see this unbelievably small room transform into a comfortable living space!
It started with this 86-square-foot room. It is quite possibly one of the smallest living quarters in all of Paris.
And here it is after renovations. Simply stunning! But wait until you see all of its cool features.
This wall of closets and storage space will blow your mind. One door leads to a pull-out shelf ...
... Which also doubles as stairs that lead to the bed above!
Best of all, you still get all the privacy that you want when you go to sleep.
Another door reveals a surprisingly spacious closet - complete with a small storage space above and enough room for shoes below.
What's that next to the closet, you ask? Are those furniture legs suspended behind the door?
They are, in fact, chairs! And the top of this compartment becomes a table for you to enjoy a meal or to get some work done.
It is incredible just how much you can fit and store in this tiny unit. Before the transformation, this living space didn't even feature a bathroom!
The sink can be covered to create extra counter space.
It is hard to believe that all your essential needs can fit into one wall like this. The bathroom is fully equipped with a toilet, shower, and sink with cupboards.
To learn more about this incredible unit, check out the video below:

There is a fix for this error. Follow this steps:
Ready a ROM(I use Pac Man ROM) in your microSD and insert into device.
1) Download and flash official firmware for your phone using Odin.
2) Root and flash custom recovery(I use TWRP) using Odin
3) Install ADB on your computer(Usually by installing Samsung USB driver)
4) Boot into recovery mode(hold up+power button)
5) Connect phone to PC via USB Cable
6) In recovery mode Choose "mount and storage > mount /system"(In TWRP, just tick the 'system')
7) At PC, open ADB command window and type :
adb shell
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 of=/sdcard/efs.img
mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p3
mkdir /efs
mount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /efs
DON'T REBOOT YET, Now /efs is mounted don't unmount it.
Do a factory reset
Install your new rom, It should install without any errors
Boot your phone, After it boots your signal notification most likely will be gray and internet or calls may not work. To fix just install gapps and it will be fixed.
If you don't have phone, try this:
Go back into recovery and get adb access. Then run this command:
sumke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p3mkdir /efsmount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /efsdd if=/sdcard/efs.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=4096reboot
This command will create a generic EFS files on your device.
Now normally your device will reboot and it should pass Samsung logo.
Your device might display a screen with a yellow text (FactoryMode)
If your device display a annoying transparency black background which contains some info about your device (PDA, Phone, CSC, H/W, Camera, …) in yellow text … and lock screen is not working, mean that your device is in factory mode.
"Factory Mode" is enabled if the EFS partition is corrupted because of installing custom ROMs, bad Mods or downgrading your current system version or after you succeeded in fixing the EFS partition.
Follow this step to exit FactoryMode:
1) Install root browser
2) Go to Local > / Device > efs > FactoryApp and open factorymode as text in "ES Note Editor"
3) Change it from OFF to ON and save it
4) Open keystr as text in "ES Note Editor", change it from OFF to ON and save it
5) Reboot
Alternative solution by using Terminal Emulator.
1) Install "Terminal Emulator"
2) Type :
rm /efs/FactoryApp/keystr
rm /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode
echo -n ON >> /efs/FactoryApp/keystr
echo -n ON >> /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode
chown 1000.1000 /efs/FactoryApp/keystr
chown 1000.1000 /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode
chmod 0744 /efs/FactoryApp/keystr
chmod 0744 /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode

The High Court of Madras ordered issuing notice to producer-director-actor Sundar C in a case filed it by Velmurugan who claims that he is the actual script-writer of the hugely popular soap Nandini which is on air on a popular regional television channel.
Nandini, which has the sizzling Nithya Ram and actress Malavika Wales in lead roles, has been a popular tele-serial for the past few months. Actor-director Velmurugan filed a case with the High Court claiming that the script of the tele-serial was actually his work of imagination and alleged Sundar C of duping him by turning it into a tele-serial without his consent and without paying him adequate compensation.
Velmurugan moved the High Court in this regard and responding to his petition, the High Court ordered issuance of notice to Sundar C in this regard.
Commenting about it, Velmurugan said "The issuance of legal notice to Sundar C proves that I'm right in my allegations against him. Thankfully, with God's help, I shall prove my charges against Sundar C in the Court!"

Jeev tied eighth in British Masters golfSeptember 26th, 2008 - 6:54 pm ICT by IANS
Belfry (Britain), Sep 26 (IANS) Indian golfer Jeev Milkha Singh continued his great season with an impressive three-under-par 69 to stay close to the leaders at tied eighth after the first round of the British Masters golf.India's other challenger Shiv Kapur shot a 70, while Jyoti Randhawa shot 73 here Thursday.
Jeev, the Asian Tour No.1 in 2006, carded six birdies at the Belfry to end the day in tied eighth place, three shots behind co-leaders Marcus Fraser and Mikael Lundberg.
Jeev, who is presently 13th on the European Order of Merit, needs to stay inside the top-15 to earn exemptions into next year's British Open and US Open.
"I am playing well and it is a good start. I will try and build on it," said Jeev, who is still carrying an ankle injury. "Yes, it is there, but improving slowly."
Kapur is currently lying in 110th position on the merit list and needs to finish in the top-115 to retain his playing rights in Europe.

Third party borehole seismic experiments on the Ocean Drilling Program began with an oblique seismic experiment on Leg 102 at Site 418 in the Western Atlantic. Upper ocean crust here is characterized by a normal seismic layer 2 vertical velocity gradient, lateral velocity variations, azimuthal anisotropy, and azimuth dependent scattering. A normal incidence VSP was run on Leg 118 in the gabbro sequence at Hole 735B on the Southwest Indian Ridge. The vertical seismic velocity inferred from arrival times is similar to that observed horizontally by refraction in ocean layer 3, but attenuation is anomalously high, which prompted the hypothesis that the gabbro cored may not actually represent the bulk of Layer 3 material. The VSP data acquired at Hole 504B in the eastern equatorial Pacific on Legs 111 and 148 helped to constrain the P and S velocity structure at the site and showed that upper layer 3 at this site, at a depth of over 2 km into the crust, consisted of the lower portion of the sheeted dikes rather than gabbro. Both offset and normal incidence VSPs were run on Leg 164 to study the seismic velocity structure of gas hydrates on the Blake Ridge. A new innovation on ODP was the deployment of broadband seismometers in boreholes. Whereas the conventional VSPs and offset VSPs mentioned above operate in the frequency range from 1 to 100Hz, broadband seismometers are used in earthquake seismology and operate in the range from 0.001 to 10Hz. The first broadband seismometer test was carried out from the drill ship on Leg 128 in the Japan Sea. Subsequently 4 permanent broadband borehole seismic observatories were installed in the Western Pacific and Japan Trench on Legs 186, 191 and 195. The ODP era also saw the development of systems for re-entering boreholes from conventional research vessels after the drill ship left the site. Borehole seismic experiments and installations that used this wireline re-entry technology were carried out in DSDP Holes 534 (Blake-Bahama Basin) and 396 (Mid-Atlantic Ridge at 23degr north) and ODP Hole 843B (south of Oahu). The latter experiment (Ocean Seismic Network Pilot Experiment) carried out a test of 3 configurations of broadband seafloor seismic installation in preparation for extending the Global Seismic Network to the deep ocean.

Wednesday at a town hall in Pennsylvania moderated by Fox News Channel's Sean Hannity, Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump brought up wall he had proposed on numerous occasions while on the campaign trail this election cycle.
During that discussion, Trump doubled down on his claim that Mexico will pay for the wall.
"You know the politicians say, 'They'll never pay,'" Trump said. "A hundred percent … They'll pay, they'll pay — in one form or another. They may even write us a check by the time they see what happens."
Trump even offered a timetable for the completion of the wall when asked by Hannity, predicting around two years from start date.
"Well, I would say it will be complete two years from the time we start," he said. "We'll start quickly, we'll start quickly. And it will be a real wall. It will be a real wall."

On Sunday in my Church, a baby was dedicated. After the service a group of us members of the congregation of varying ages (but none older than 40) stood together bantering and munching the cake that mother of the dedicated baby had brought to mark the occasion. The subject that dominated our discussion was children and babies and we were having fun ribbing one another. One of us, a man, said to another, a woman who with two small children: "God is seeing twins in your future" to which the woman replied "If I hear, This shop has closed, and there is no opening it again" Then somebody else replied "Haba! Why are you not claiming the blessings of God? Did God not tell Abraham to be fruitful and multiply?" To which the woman retorted "Abeg! When God made that declaration, Buhari had not yet plunged the Nigerian economy into recession." That gave us a good laugh.
That reminded me of when my siblings and I were teenagers and my paternal grandmother (who died in 2013) used to visit us. We looked forward to these visits because grandma was a storyteller and could be counted on to bring new gist all the time. Her favourite stories to tell always start with the words "If you ever get a girl pregnant or a man gets you pregnant, please no abortions, bring the baby, I can take care of it." What would follow will be the story of the latest naming ceremony she attended, usually that of a sixteen year old boy who got a fourteen year old girl pregnant . Of course at the time we were still a bunch of teenagers. so we found the stories hilarious and ribbed ourselves mercilessly about them.
As I grew into my twenties and understood more about social issues, I started to wonder why my Grandma saw teenage pregnancy as something to be happy about instead of the social problem that it really is. At first I chalked it up to the fact that since she didn't have much education, she didn't fill her heads with the newfangled ideas about girl child education and all that. It was when I grew even older that I came to understand that her outlook was not a matter of education, it was a matter of values. My Grandma married my grandpa at eighteen and gave birth to her first son (my Dad) a year later. So being a teenage mother herself (albeit an older one) at a time where nobody batted an eyelid about it, teenage pregnancy apparently didn't make the same impression on her that it does on my parents and on our own generation.
What brought about the story about my grandma was the recent sermon that the General Overseer of Christ Embassy Pastor Chris Oyakhilome gave on marriage and how women were supposed to behave in it. This in turn brought back the memory of the not so recent marriage seminar that the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God Pastor E.A Adeboye gave on marriage and how women were supposed to behave in it. Perhaps it is the many books I have read that have turned me into a rebel, but I think that we, young people of nowadays, should be careful about taking marriage advice from 1.) A divorcee, and (2.) A seventy year old man who didn't have the exchange rate at 430 naira to 1 dollar when he was growing up, and the economy wasn't in a recession when he got married.
I am a Christian; I dare not disrespect the anointing of God upon the lives of his servants, and I agree with the bible that the wisdom of old people is in their grey hair. However let us look at it this way. At eighteen the age my grandma was labouring to bring my father to this world; my elder sister was busy labouring to pass her first year exams as a law student in Obafemi Awolowo University. If she managed to get pregnant at that time, to say that Dad would have murdered her would be exaggerating a bit, but he certainly wouldn't have rolled out the red carpet to congratulate her, that is for sure. What changed? Everything.
I am not saying that we should all rise up and start denouncing the two aforementioned pastors as malicious liars and agents of the devil. I am also not saying that you should not go to their respective churches anymore. I am just trying to say that the fact that someone is old and has spent X number of years on earth/in the ministry does not guarantee that every single word that comes out of their mouth is good advice that you can always use. Like the example of my grandmother above, old/experienced people don't intend to be malicious, it is just that the values they grew up to see as the norm have changed. That is why most African fathers become as meek as Jesus Christ when they are trying to learn how to use a smartphone. Again, another way of explaining this, though I never got to meet my paternal grandfather so I can't confirm it. My Dad never mentions it either However some of my interactions with my grandma confirmed that my grandfather would not likely have given his full approval to my father marrying an educated woman like my mom (it was an age when most men thought it was a waste to send girls to school, and that the more educated a woman is the less likelier she is to respect her husband, so no blaming him). However if he was alive today, would he have approved what my mom has done with his son? I bet he would.
I believe old people are the custodians of culture and norms and values .I also believe that the reason why God sent individual tongues of fire to all the people in the Upper room in the book of Acts of the Apostles, was precisely so that the people wouldn't do things simply because a grizzled man who has spent fifty years pastoring/living life said so.
It is the part of the reason why I tend to support the alternative opinions (feminism, LGBTQ issues etc). I just get irritated when people who support the majority opinions are questioned and they give the snarky "that is what our fathers used to do" or "it is our culture." Teenage marriage was once a norm, so was Polygamy. People like both my grandfathers will tell you that Polygamy is okay, but is it really practical to be Polygamous in this economy where the price of petrol just rises without any warning, and a bag of Rice is now between fifteen and twenty two thousand naira?
Culture is never set in stone, at any rate we as a people are not as averse to setting aside culture for practicality anyway. So why do we hide under the guise of culture and old age/experience when it is time to answer the difficult questions?
Again I am not saying that God didnt know what he was doing when he gave the command in exodus 20:12, I am just saying that I just don't have to take every word someone says as the gospel just because he is older than I am, or he is a pastor. At any rate what I read from the bible is that on judgment day God wont call the same old pastor I am expected to listen to account for my sins. So there is that.

Firms in the UK and Europe are setting aside significant funds for advanced big data deployments this year, according to new research.
TechTarget's new IT Spending Priorities survey, published last week (February 26th) by Computer Weekly, indicates that one in four organisations (26 per cent of respondents) will invest in business intelligence and data warehousing this year.
Furthermore, some 12 per cent intend to start shifting their information assets to more sophisticated database technologies – such as NoSQL, columnar and in-memory analytics – than those that they use today.
In the UK, however, TechTarget noted an imbalance between respondents' plans to invest in analytics and in backend data management – just eight per cent told researchers they would be upgrading the systems behind the scenes of their big data deployments.
Across the EU's two-biggest economies, France and Germany, the figure was almost double that at 15 per cent.
Kroll Ontrack provides software for MS Exchange and SharePoint, solutions for permanent data erasure and services for tape archives as well as data recovery.

Master Auvray was looking particularly carefree and dashing this morning, with a lock of hair drifting across his face just so, and a winning smile. "Yes, in fact there is, cotter. Please, don't mind me, have a seat." A slightly bewildered Rivens sat down again, and Auvray dropped down onto the bench next to him. "I have noticed that you are often in the company of a certain…young woman…." He raised his eyebrows as if waiting for a reply.
"Aye, sir. There are many young lasses about the place."
"Yes, but this one is different. She is easily the most beautiful woman in the entire village, worth all the others put together. I've noticed her in several different places, but mostly in your company. Can you tell me her name?"
Rivens hemmed and looked down at his boots. "Well, ye must be thinkin' of Cessy Lockton, Alis Lockton's girl."
"Can you tell me anything about her?" Rivens chanced a look and saw both interest and determination in Auvray's face.
"Oh, aye, Master. She's been helping me in the garden for quite a few years now, e'er since she were a little 'un. Might I ask, sire, what ye need to know?"
"I'm interested in knowing something of my uncle's subjects, that is all. This woman has caught my attention." He paused, then started again. "Perhaps you can tell me something of yourself. Are you the head gardener here?"
"Name's Rivens, sire. Been head gardener fer about thirty years."
"I admire your work. It must be difficult to manage the maintenance of an estate as vast as Granton."
"It's work, to be sure, but we're all glad to serve his lordship in any way we can."
"The work seems more suited to a man's strength than a woman's. How is it that Mistress Lockton is laboring out here as well as the kitchens?"
Obviously the young man was rather intent on his purpose. "She can't be kept indoors for long. Cessy's a spirited girl who likes thinkin' and creatin' things, and the kitchens and laundry aren't the place fer that sort."
"I imagine that she's something…special."
Rivens straightened his back a bit and lifted his chin higher. "That she is, sire. We've all got our faults, God in Heaven knows, but she's a good girl, when ye get right down to it."
Auvray's smile dropped away into a more open expression, less like a mask. He leaned close and looked into the gardener's eyes. "I've no doubt of that. Thank you, Rivens, I am much obliged to you." He stood and began to walk away, but a a word from Rivens stopped him.
"Ye've been doin' a bit of hunting by yerself, have ye not? Up in the hills?"
Auvray nodded. "Yes, I am quite passionate about hunting. Unfortunately I have yet to track anything larger than a hare."
"Not that I know anythin' about hunting," Rivens coughed into his shirtsleeve, "but there's talk of a hart o' ten been sighted feeding in the Eastern meadows."
After a few moments of silence, Auvray grinned. "I will have to ride that way soon, then. Thank you again. Good day."
Rivens watched the young man as he wound his way through the hedges, and brought the pipe back to his mouth.

For many, the appeal of motorcycles is obvious. The intimacy with the road and the freedom of traveling is impossible to replicate while travelling in a car. But with all the joys of riding a motorcycle also come some inherent risks.
Unlike driving a car, motorcyclists are especially vulnerable to both other riders on the road as well as environmental factors. Hazards such as gravel, potholes, and even grates and railroad crossings can cause serious or deadly injuries to a motorcycle rider.
In addition, motorcyclists need to pay special attention to weather conditions. Snow, sleet, rain, or even strong winds and sun glare can especially problematic for the riders on two wheels.
Motorcyclists also need to be aware of other vehicles on the road. Due to their small size, motorcycles are harder to see and identify for car drivers. And since motorcyclists are not protected with seatbelts and within the compounds of a car or truck, motorcycle accidents are more likely to cause serious injuries or death. In fact, motorcyclists are five times more likely to be injured in an accident, and 26 times more likely to die as a result of a motorcycle accident, compared to a traditional motor vehicle.
Since two thirds of motorcycle accidents are caused by other motor vehicle drivers, it is important to know that if negligence played a role in a motorcycle accident, the driver of the other vehicle may be liable for the damages, medical costs, loss of wages, and pain and suffering.

Love: It's more than a feeling
Sometimes it's just a choice.
I know that's not what you want to hear, but it is the truth. Sometimes you do feel it, and that's the wonderful icing on the cake of your relationships. But most of the time, it takes your focused engagement to cultivate and grow true, beautiful, lasting love.
It's not surprising that we see it this way because the society we live in has made it out to be emotional thing, and quite frankly to be a self centered thing. If you don't get what you want out of the relationship, then it's fine to leave. This pattern of thinking will only isolate you, and keep you from the potential of a flourishing, life giving relationship.
This is what the Bible says love is… And it's more than a feeling.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 (NIV)
Many people will have this scripture read at their wedding, and then once they step into the actual marriage, it's like they got a labodame, specifically when it comes to the true meaning of this passage.
I think many times people hesitate from even taking the next step in a relationship into a lifelong commitment and covenant because "they aren't feeling it". It's so sad. In society, Christians are meant to be the antithesis to the way the world thinks and lives. A more attractive version… And this does not mean an easier version. Many times, it means just more work, with greater, lasting fruit and benefits. Fruit that no one can dispute because it's just there. And the longer you stay at it, the more fruit there is, and the more enjoyable it is to cultivate the fruit because you get into a flow that just works.
We've got to remember, things that bear fruit come in seed form. Most people want the fruit, but don't want to do what it takes to get it. People don't want a seed, people (for the most part) just want the fruit. When something comes in seed form, it has the potential grow into something beautiful. And to be honest, it just takes time. The potential part is entirely up to you.
So what do you do with a seed? First you put it under dirt. Dirt is not sexy, but it covers the seed so that it can germinate and grow. There is great revelation in that alone. Then you add water consistently (the washing with the water of the Word), and usually some fertilizer in the form of manure, yes, poop. This is the part of a relationship that everyone loves. The messy, stinky, gross, seemingly unfruitful parts. But really, this part of the process is what brings life and health. This is usually when people abort mission because it stinks, and God is actually germinating something strong in your relationship. Let it happen, and learn in the process. Otherwise you just smell like poop with no fruit. When it finally sprouts up, it must be taken cultivated with great delicacy and care…. And to be honest, usually it takes years of 'seed time and harvest' before true fruit comes. It takes time. All good things take time.
The dirt, the water, the manure, the time, the watching over of the "seed" that will turn into a small plant, that will eventually turn into a beautiful strong tree that bears much great and lasting fruit usually looks like this:
Patience: "The capacity to accept or tolerate delay, trouble, or suffering without getting angry or upset."
Kindness: "The quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate."
Confidence: (The opposite of envy… Confidence in what you've been given): "The feeling or belief that one can rely on someone or something; firm trust."
Humility: (The opposite of boasting and pride) "Is variously seen as the act or posture of lowering one self in relation to others, or conversely, having a clear perspective, and therefore respect, for one's place in context."
Honor: (The opposite of dishonor and self-seeking) " To have high respect; esteem for another."
Joy: (The opposite of anger) "A feeling of great pleasure and happiness"
Truth: (lining up with The Truth of The Word of God) "That which is true or in accordance with fact or reality" (The bible is the highest form of fact or reality to those who believe.)
Protection: "The action of protecting someone or something, or the state of being protected."
Trust: "Firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of someone or something."
Hope: I've heard it said that biblical hope is "The joyful expectation of good."
Perseverance: "steadfastness in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success."
Basically, love requires you to stop thinking about yourself so much and start to think about someone else. Actually, to think and care about them everyday for the rest of your life. And to really make it flourish, it's going to take mutual engagement and sacrifice by both parties.
To engage all of the above is what true love is. It takes a passionate warrior spirit on our behalf, and a revelation that it's more than a feeling.
Don't get me wrong, love is fueled by passion (we all like that word), but with passion comes sacrifice. Just look at Jesus life, we were His passion, "the joy that was set before him" (Hebrews 12:2), and he sacrificed his life and endured the cross for our sake. That's love.
I heard Kris Vallotton say:
"You cannot separate sacrifice from passion and have a marriage."
Although many will take the latter and ignore the former… I know I have, and still would like to on occasion.
I am fueled with passion to build Christ's church because it is the hope of the world… "Christ purchased the church with His blood" (Acts 20:28) and in turn, I will sacrifice my life to build it. It is my reasonable service completly born out of love. No brainer.
I am fueled with passion for my marriage because I believe in the power of covenant, and the in power of love. So I will sacrifice when it's required from me even if I don't feel like it… Once again, no brainer.
Cue Music from the Wedding Singer… "I wanna grow old with you…"
I can "smile at the future" (Proverbs 31:25) because I have engaged true love with this man, and can honestly say, he is the love of my life. Some may say it's cheesy and I don't really care… Because I know it's true.
*Note: Please understand the context as you read all of this… I am by no means talking about abusive relationships, or even things that are out of your control… I am speaking of two willing investors growing something that becomes truly beautiful with time.

This is slightly long over due but I guess the timing couldn't be more perfect.
A few months ago I received an email that left me feeling overjoyed but equally paralyzed with nerves, the subject of the email read ' UJFM Interview Request'. It felt so surreal and in the moment of it all I was so focused on not messing up that I didn't allow myself to stop and soak in what an honor and dream it was. I think it's always such a humbling and heart warming feeling when people recognize what you're doing in a time where you felt like no one was paying attention. Obviously I accepted the request to join the hosts on their Monday segment that focused on the Entrepreneur Of The Week. Having being told that that's the role I am now being recognized in tickled me a bit ,mainly because I realized that the world is now starting to acknowledge what bloggers do as a profession and secondly because for most of my life I never thought I would outwardly be identified as one but I took it and tried to do the segment and those I look up to justice.
One thing many might or might not know about me is how private and guarded I am about sharing my life and generally just making myself vulnerable to strangers, the irony right? I mean I own a blog that somewhat encourages me to do just exactly that, but for me the blog has always been an escape and mood-board for a life I wanted to live. I was informed about the type of questions I would get asked but they didn't want to give too much away because they still wanted it to feel natural on air as possible.
I remember days before, infact from the moment I received the email, being paralyzed by anxiety. I am naturally a shy person and the thought of having to speak to Lord knows how many thousands of listeners was just as terrifying for me as speaking directly to a room filled with them. Come the big day I tried to mask my nerves with humor which carried me throughout the radio interview. Once we were live on air , something amazing happened, I felt calm, all the nerves and fear I felt melted away . I think that's when it really sank in for me how much I love what I do and how passionate I am about it. My fear of messing up disappeared the moment I realized just how much I love what I'm sharing and looking back on it that moment changed how I've approached my blog and the type of content I've been open to share and explore this year and the responses to it have overwhelmed me with joy.
Just a few days ago I celebrated a milestone of having over 10 000 viewers on my blog since its launched and that wouldn't have been possible if I didn't take that leap out of my fear of putting myself out there with that interview.
I have so many people to thank but mostly to you guys for softening my fall and continuously coming back to this space
it means the world to me!
