Find out what our readers think about topical issues.
Lively debate
Dear Ed, – I very rarely write to newspapers but with such a major issue as the Scottish referendum coming up, I felt compelled to do so.
In the run up to the vote in September, it is refreshing to see the level of debate that this matter has generated.
Friends, relations and family, for and against independence, have made their views known and I believe it would be of some interest to readers to actually hear what the voters on the ground are saying, rather than just the propaganda that has been emanating from the key players in the yes and no camps.
Some of the debate has left more questions than answers; for example, one friend tells me that the founders of the SNP originally did not have complete independence as one of their aims, rather more devolved power, so why the change now he asks.
Another relation has severe reservations about why the SNP have pushed for such a vote, when many in their party believe that they should have stuck to their original aim – as much devolved power as possible.
Many believe that Alex Salmond has been put under pressure by SNP activists and indeed the opposition parties, to have this vote and the fact that he has waited to month 53 of the 60 months that the SNP will be in power, has made many suspicious that he is not confident about the outcome.
A friend informs me that the 'yes' campaign meeting he attended was mainly attended by SNP supporters; he felt it was stage-managed and any implied criticism of the 'yes' position was unwelcomed.
With regard to the Better Together meetings, the consensus opinion was that there was a far better opportunity for debate, with Labour, Tory, Lib Dem, don't knows and other political parties' supporters in attendance.
The debate was reported to be of a high standard and everyone was given their opportunity to contribute to it. SNP supporters in attendance also had their opportunity to put forward their case.
Giving the vote to 16 and 18-year-olds in the referendum, was thought to be an excellent idea.
However it was noted that a recent poll of these 'new voters' showed that the majority were not in favour of an independent Scotland.
A major concern was also that personality politics were coming to the fore, with comments about poor or good standards of debates by key players, taking away from the actual issues themselves.
One friend thought that the millions that the SNP had received from the lottery winners, perhaps gave an unfair advantage to the yes campaign in the publicity stakes.
Another friend said that he had followed the polls and that a 60/40 no vote, on average, still seemed the most likely outcome.
A yes campaign friend said that we should vote to give independence a go as it must be better than what we have now.
Another said that Scotland would be jumping off a cliff, with the risk factor being too high to gamble upon and that we should be thinking about generations to come, who could suffer if the decision proves to be catastrophic.
I have no doubt that in the last few weeks of campaigning, that the press and media will be bombarded by contributions from both camps.
All I would ask is that everyone who is eligible takes the opportunity to vote in this momentous ballot and studies all the facts before making their decision. – Yours etc.,

Carluke's past
A long history
Dear Ed, – Better late than never! Re article on saving The High Mill, (Gazette April 16):
Around twenty years ago several enlightened Carluke residents tried unsuccessfully to have the Mill saved.
Let's hope for success this time, as it is claimed such a restoration will transform the town.
An ancient town, whose charter granted by King Robert 1 is dated 1315, Carluke deserves no less.
It is a town with a significant past.
As well as being a centre of culinary excellence (jeely and bacon) it has produced a polymath, an ordnance survey pioneer,a Puritan army officer turned Devil's Disciple, three VC heroes, two WW1 and one WW2 heroes, and several well known footballers.
Dr. Daniel Reid, as well as a surgeon, was an eminent geologist, a palaeontologist and historian.
Of course everyone knows of Major-General William Roy, educated at Lanark Grammar, the first ordnance survey cartographer.
Follow that with the Jekyll and Hyde character Major Thomas Weir, born Kirkton and said still to haunt the area, a seemingly devout and pious man who along with his sister Jean sold his soul to Satan, both eventually executed for witchcraft. Last, but not least, a much loved local character, town crier and chimney sweep Punkie (William Ewing). A remarkable record. – Yours etc.,
Castle Yett,
Site was wrong
Dear Ed, – I was actually present at the whole council debate on the Owenstown project; that is very unusual and shows that South Lanarkshire Council did consider the Owenstown project seriously.
There was extensive debate on the project and in this debate politicians of all persuasions asked a wide variety of questions. Then everybody was asked to decide on the project. Amazingly, every politician of every political persuasion rejected the project.
This very rarely happens in politics and gives a clue as to why the projected site of Owenstown might not have been the best choice.
The rejection of the project was by no means weak-willed nor was it Nimbyism. It was that the site itself was deemed unsuitable for such a project for many different reasons.
However, I wish the Foundation well and maybe they will find a more suitable location elsewhere which might be more successful. – Yours etc.,
With thanks
To LGS pupils
Dear Ed, – We would like to express our sincere thanks for the recent donation we received from Lanark Grammar from the sale of the S2 pupils' Damn Delicious calendars.
We are extremely grateful for this donation and, as a small local charity, are delighted that the school chose to nominate us as a benefactor of this fundraising project. Our intention is to use the money in the Lanark Moor Sensory Garden thus benefiting the local community and hopefully some of the staff and students will get to enjoy the difference that the donation will make.
We would like to congratulate all pupils and staff involved in the project on the production of a lovely calendar. – Yours etc.,
Managing Director,
Clydesdale Community Initiatives.
with thanks
All wonderful!
Dear Ed, – I would like to say a big thank you to all the wonderful people who helped when I had a nasty fall, resulting in a dislocated shoulder, at the Carluke Filling Station on Good Friday.
To the customers who picked me up, helped me to regain my feet and helped me to a chair. To the staff who also looked after my wife - who is partially disabled. Well done, Carluke.
To the ambulance crew, Craig and Michael, who managed to control the pain and took me to Wishaw General.
To the team at Wishaw emergency who tended to me and reset my dislocated shoulder.
The doctors and nurses could not have been more helpful or kinder to me.
My shoulder is now getting better – many thanks to ALL. Aren't people wonderful? – Yours etc.,
via email.

I'm constantly on the hunt for the perfect templating module. When I was much younger, primarily doing PHP, I quickly saw that string concatenation and variable interpolation were not good solutions when trying to author lots of complex documents. I did some searching, and found Smarty, which satisfied my needs at that time. Over the past year, I've started using python primarily, and my desires have changed.
Real useage provides the practical definitions for software requirements. For now, I'd like to take a look at approaches I'd personally consider using for generating XML. For now, I consider XML generation a primary task, and we can talk about HTML generation some other time. In fact, I'm currently satisfied using XSLT to transform XML into HTML.
My first forray into templating engines was kid. They had xml-based syntax, with variable implementation reminiscent of smarty and php. It was supposed to be a kind of simpler, procedural XSLT-like templating language. However, I ended up not liking it very much. I know Genshi is around, which promises to make certain idioms simpler and advertises better performance, but I think my issue isn't so much with the syntax, as the some of the conceptual foundations. Then again, I was attempting to use it for HTML and XML generation. Perhaps if I reconsidered for purely XML generation, I might change my mind.
Anyway, Kid has been around since November of 2004 (see line #236).
During my PHP days, I remember reading some LISP documentation. I found one lisp package that suggested that HTML looked an awful lot like s-expressions, but with uglier syntax. This really intrigued me. Earlier this year, I discovered stan, which is a python library implementing s-expression based html/xml generation through clever use of __call__. The basic idea is that you can invoke the name of the tag you want, provide keyword arguments to fill out the infoset's attributes, and you use list syntax to fill out the contents of the object. There's not much overhead for infoset processing as there are with other XML toolkits, presumably it performs quite well, although I've never tested it.
Stan is complicated though. It seems to be intended for primarily HTML generation, and it's unclear how to use it in the same manner as suggested for HTML but for predefined XML vocabularies. There is some kind of callback system that I haven't quite grokked, despite reading "meet stan" several times over. However, I like the approach.
I looked real hard for the history of stan. The earliest changeset I could find was 564, but it had no information and no file. So the second earliest changeset I could find is dated February 2004. I didn't see any CHANGES or HISTORY files, but I would assume the author probably was noodling on stan for a few months before that. Please correct me if you know otherwise.
Stan also has a lot of dependencies, and can be a bit tricky to install. For some reason or another, I was unable to get it using the cheeseshop/distutils/easy_install method. Then a short while ago, I stumbled upon breve. It claims to be a fresh rewrite of TurboStan, by the author of turbostan. Basically, the story here is that the author created a turbogears plugin that allowed stan to be used in turbogears applications. After doing this, the author became wiser, and decided to rewrite stan without all the dependencies, and called it breve. I believe breve was written this year (2007) or late 2006, but I can't quickly find any resources to verify, and I'm tired of researching.
On a side note, using AJAX for testing is an interesting idea.
Since Breve is pretty much similar to stan, I still don't quite fully understand how the renderer and context stuff works. However, they do explain how to facilitate new xml syntax and added a "when" facility for easier conditionals. I think this is my current favorite, and I look forward to using this in projects going forward. What would be really nifty is to go from relax-ng to s-expression xml generation. Breve uses xsd to provide you with new xml tags, but I think it'd be better to go with relax-ng, especially the compact syntax. Optimally, it would have an option to check validate your syntax for you, as well.
Today, I was reading through Ian Bicking's stuff, when I found (among many many interesting things) py.xml. Which claims to have been inspired by XIST. XIST is ANOTHER s-expression based xml generation library. They again chose to focus on producing HTML (I think this is a mistake.) This one uses named parameters for attributes, and unamed parameters as content. It's also much older as the oldest entry is from some time in 2000, and it's clear that it was around for some time before that entry (although they jokingly claim written history, heh). However, I had never heard of XIST until today. I also can't find changesets or any history files to determine how long py.xml has been around, so I'll assume it's recent.
While these packages are capable of producing HTML, and the people authoring HTML could use it, I think it's clear that the approach hasn't worked. I think the authors of these libraries should start focusing on helping developers use them to produce XML, then tackle the problem of producing HTML separately. My guess is that the most common authors of HTML are graphic designers. I know some graphic designers who would be able to use this approach, but I also know several graphic designers, and probably even several programmers, who would not be able to use this approach. Too much overhead, and too many layers of indirection make it difficult to use.
In the spirit of the web, instead of attempting to unify or divide the files and code website authors share, let's divide the URIs we share. One set of URIs for web developers to emit and consume XML, and another set of URIs for web designers to emit HTML, and consume the actions of humans. The two sets of URIs can talk amongst themselves by passing messages… over the web. This approach is more scalable. To even further separate the business logic of an application from presentation of the user experience (or web experience), you can have the web experience instruct the user (using normal HTML) to submit their forms and other interactiosn with side-effects directly to the developer's set of URIs (perhaps call the web-app backplane?). Then when the web application has finished processing state and interaction, it can redirect the user back to the web experience, where they are given a nice human-consumable web page. This can also reduce accidental replays. It also allows designers and developers to work together without stepping on each others toes. It's easier to test. It's scalable.
P.S. any one know how to get decent looking code blocks in wordpress?

A swimming pool is certainly a considerable investment. Many consumers might be attracted by rate when adding the required devices. Choosing pool covers based upon rate will certainly cost you extra in the future and reduce your satisfaction of your pool.
Pool covers been available in a wide range of high quality as well as product to match the demands of each swimming pool proprietor. Pool covers come in solid materials of various strengths and also durability. Pool covers of a solid product will certainly block sunshine to assist decrease the advancement of algae and reduce debris from getting into the swimming pool.
There are several sorts of swimming pool covers to consider.
Covers for winter: The value of a winter swimming pool cover comes from the high quality of each of its parts as well as the building and construction process made use of to make it. A United States made winter season pool cover will certainly last many years. The most effective winter season swimming pool covers are made in the United States. The complying with points will lead you to the very best decision (hint: none of them are price).
1. The manufacturing procedure used by UNITED STATE suppliers produces textile strands that are superior in strength and also straightness due to a hot air procedure contrasted to Import manufacturers that utilize a water impend procedure. So primarily, the more affordable import is comprised of a weaker, kinked hair that needs much more outer reinforcement to secure it. This difference allows UNITED STATE producers to make even more resilient, more consistent pool cover materials that are light-weight yet more powerful than the competitive imports. Inevitably, the residential product is much less most likely to peel as well as divide far from the textile.
2. Denier: One of the most important factor to consider is called the "Denier", which describes the breaking strength of each strand utilized in the weave textile. The denier associated with residential wintertime covers is almost twice that of the imports, making them almost difficult to rip. They hold up to severe winter months problems much much better consequently. The capacity to stop rips provides itself to cover toughness, long life and use.
3. The 3rd factor is the "Scrim ", the variety of strands woven together horizontally and also vertically, per square inch. Intuitively, the even more strands, the more powerful the cover, depending obviously on the denier. The consumer needs to comprehend that Scrim by itself is not indicative of quality. Stores that just market the affordable imported swimming pool covers will not show the denier, do not highlight the origin of manufacture and innocent consumer is none the better. Eventually, many pool proprietors will certainly need to change their imported, economical swimming pool covers within a pair years as a result of these top quality distinctions. Like many points of high quality, the general price of possession related to top quality items is much less even if the first price is much more expensive.
MESH POOL COVERS: Fit together swimming pool covers block a lot of the light, yet permit water to permeate the cover. This benefit means you do not require to pump the water build-up off the pool cover, leaves and also debris will simply blow away or easily eliminated. This enables faster swimming pool opening in the Spring. By avoiding the need to re-fill the swimming pool, you conserve water and great deals of time. Mesh and strong swimming pool covers are offered in round or oval forms to fit many swimming pool shapes and sizes.
AUTOMATIC POOL COVERS: An Automatic pool cover makes use of an electric motor to open up and close the cover. The cover trips on a track system that is developed right into the top of the in-ground swimming pool wall surface or deck. An automated swimming pool cover functions as the pool solar cover, winter months cover and a safety cover that lasts for years.
SOLAR SWIMMING POOL COVERS: Solar pool covers supply solar power to the water raising the water temperature level as well as decreasing warmth loss. Swimming pool solar covers capture warm from sunshine inside hundreds of small sealed air bubbles as well as transfer that energy to the swimming pool water. The darker the swimming pool cover shade, the even more warmth they draw in and also the faster the transfer. Solar covers can include weeks of swimming enjoyable by raising the water termperature 15 levels over regular. Solar pool covers can pay for themselves in regards to power preservation as well as assistance to prevent warm loss and swimming pool water evaporation. They can lower your pool heating expenses by numerous bucks. They are available in many common sizes and can be trimmed to fit the pool as needed or ordered to fit. Although swimming pool solar covers are lightweight and also float on the swimming pool surface area, they still can be difficult to manage. Have a reel will make it easy to place the solar cover on and take it off. Utilizing a solar cover without a reel is not suggested because the blankets are hard to deal with and usually call for a couple individuals. Also without the reel though, the benefits from the solar home heating covering make it well worth the little financial investment.
SWIMMING POOL SECURITY COVERS: As indicated by the name, they assist protect your swimming pool for unintended drowning as well as breach. Pool safety covers come in a Solid or Mesh fabric. There are advantages to every. Solid material will much better obstruct all the algae triggering sunlight. The even more prominent mesh textile will certainly block most of the light yet allows rain, thawing ice and also snow to pass through and the leaves and also debris simply surprise. The covers are secured right into the swimming pool deck to secure the cover down, so throughout the winter months or during getaway your pool can be shielded versus breach or crashes. They are incredibly strong as well as can sustain numerous hundred pounds, so they give peace of mind.
Your options of pool covers depend on lots of aspects as you can see. Eventually, we suggest that you select the right cover based on your specific needs and also ecological factors. AFTER you have actually picked the appropriate layout needs to you consider costs among vendors for the certain sort of cover you have actually pool net walmart picked and do not be lured by a reduced cost that endangers your decision for the best solution.

Here is a list of 11 things that I consider weight loss basics or keto basics that help me lose a regain from following the basic things that I did while on Keto the first time.
10 Things to Get Back to Keto Basics
It's been almost 3 years since I had weight loss surgery and two years since I hit my goal weight. I've put on a few pounds from where I usually hover, and I've decided that while that is not the end of the world, I don't like it.
I look at my pictures, and I can see the extra weight even though it's just a few pounds. I have some additional fat on my upper stomach and on my back that wasn't there before, my pants are tighter and I am not happy about any of it.
It's time to get back to Keto Basics.
Check out my How to start a Keto diet post here for weekly keto meal plan outlines, for information on how to calculate macros, and other great keto tips.
I'm glad I was able to maintain for so long without regain, but I see that I've drifted away from some basic habits I had, so here is what I know I need to do. These were the Keto Basics and Weight Loss basics that really helped me lose the weight in the first place.
- Go back to pre-planning and tracking. I used to plan by meals the night before or that morning, and I used to track everything I put in my mouth. I don't know why I stopped doing that, but I must do that again. It only takes about 10 minutes, but it pays off big time.
- Drink lots of liquids. Often when I think I'm hungry, if I drink a little bit, it will take care of it. I've stopped focusing on how much I drink, but that's an easy fix.
- Eat no more than 1/2 cup to 1 cup of food at a time. Earlier on, this is easy. But as your capacity grows, it's very easy to eat more in one sitting than you should. I have to get back to eyeballing my portions again.
- Weigh all my food. I am still pretty good at being able to guesstimate weight, but if you go over an ounce or two at each meal, that adds up to several hundred more calories than you should be eating, so it's back to weighing again.
- Fast between meals. NO grazing. If I got hungry within 3-4 hours of my last meal, I used to drink instead because I knew that couldn't be real hunger. Not only does it limit calories, but it also reduces my insulin response. I have to remember that I am either feasting (eating) or fasting (going without food). And your body doesn't burn fat when feasting. so the longer I fast, the more I burn.
- Saying no to carb-based dishes like sandwiches, pasta etc. These have definitely crept back in. Used to be, I didn't even think about it, certain foods were just taboo. Now I eat them too often and it's showing.
- Monitoring carbs and keeping them below 40 gms for weight loss, and below 75 gms for maintenance. I am super carb sensitive. While others can eat a lot more than 75 gms for maintenance (after all, 100-150 gms is considered low carb by American standards),I didn't win the genetic lottery on this one. So it's time for me to cut my carbs.
- Eating more protein. Not eating enough protein is what got me in trouble in the first place. I'm a reluctant carnivore and would rather eat carbs than meat. But that doesn't work for me. I've been tracking for three days and I see how low my protein intake is. I need to up that ASAP.
- Accepting hunger and not thinking it needed to be fixed immediately since often it went away. Truth is, there's no way to lose weight without being hungry, so I just need to accept that I will be hungry, and move on.
- Be patient. With my record, it wouldn't surprise me if I only lost a pound every other week. If I want to lose 10 pounds, it may be close to 4 months before I can do that. So I just need to get into that mindset.
So basically, just act like I did right after the surgery when I was trying to lose weight and accept that I will have to do this for the rest of my life. I really don't know why I was in such a hurry to get to my goal weight–nothing has changed. I still need to do the same things I used to do while losing.
Day three of low carbs and I'm tired, hungry, and everyone is annoying me. Wish me luck!

Does alternative financing grow rampant in the world? Is it assertion or assumption? Affirmation! Pray the saying that we are stronger when we collaborate and work together. This seems to have become increasingly evident in recent years. Collaborative economics and initiatives stemming from collective action are becoming the way to work efficiently and survive the future.
When we analyze the collaborative loan and the alternative financing, this propensity becomes even sharper. But why is collective funding growing in the world? More and more tired of bank controls and the way the economy is governed, people have been looking for alternative solutions that offer more security and freedom.
What is alternative financing?
Especially when it comes to controlling your finances. The peer-to-peer loan, also known as Lending P2P loan, or crowdfunding are just examples of these trends.
These types of transactions have grown more and more in the world and proven that not everything needs to be passed by the bank. Many people have proven the effectiveness of alternative financing, especially when it comes to investing or raising funds for projects and new ventures. Understand how these collaborative loans work and take a turn in your financial life.
What is the difference between the P2P loan and crowdfunding?
Crowdfunding and peer-to-peer loans are two types of collaborative loans. In this type of transaction the interested parties do not have to be intermediated by the bank. All trading takes place directly.
Peer-to-peer loan
People-to-people and crowdfunding share a common principle: raising online funding from several people, or investors, who they can recruit through digital platforms. The crucial difference between crowdfunding and P2P loans, or market loan as it is increasingly known, is how to pay your investors.
Crowdfunding is a method of getting resources that is usually best suited for start-up companies or for small businesses in distress as it is not necessary to make regular repayments like you would with a bank loan. In the case of crowdfunding, investors generally benefit from actions or products made firsthand.
Most crowdfunding platforms involve selling shares in your company. This scheme is known as stock-based crowdfunding. Some global crowdfunding sites operate a rewards-based scheme where, in return for a contribution, you give your investors the final product you are making.
What are alternative loans based on?
The peer-to-peer loan, in turn, is a quick and affordable way to get help in your company's finances. The essential difference between P2P loans and crowdfunding is that you do not distribute any equity but pay interest on borrowed money – just as you would with a bank loan. P2P loans are considered more suitable for established companies that can meet monthly loan repayments.
In Brazil, both Crowdfunding and peer-to-peer landing are done in a completely digital way, through electronic platforms and applications. The interested in this type of transaction should just download the platform of your choice, put your information and wait for the approval of the loan. Simple and quiet, without having to go through the barriers of the seats. You can use these two types of collaborative loans for student loans, debt payments or acquire a property.
How is the collective financing in Brazil?
Alternative financing, although still a novelty in Brazil, has been gaining more and more supporters in the last decade. The first company to do this type of transaction in Brazil is IMPULSO, a member of Aliança Empreendedora, which has been supporting a number of micro-entrepreneurs since 2006, and has been on the web since 2009.
In places like the UK, this system has also become increasingly strong. To get an idea, only 2.8 billion pounds were raised in 2015 through alternative types of funding.
Collaborative funding has grown in the world and it's no wonder. Both the Crowdfunding collective loan and the " peer to peer lending P2P loan " bring innumerable advantages to those who want to invest or need resources. It has fewer risks compared to other types of loans and financing.
If you are looking for where to invest or need a loan to carry out some project, it is worth knowing the mode of collaborative loan and alternative financing. They are revolutionizing the economy and may be the right move for you.

Presented at the Festival of Genomics, Boston, MA, USA
Breast and ovarian cancers pose huge and still largely unsolved challenges for the medical profession. Most women with screening-detected breast cancer do not receive a clear treatment benefit, indicating that these cancers are still not being detected early enough. The less common ovarian cancer is often not diagnosed until in an advanced stage, resulting in a five-year survival rate of less than 40%. New tests based on genomic biomarkers have the potential to offer, for the first time, much earlier detection and diagnosis of ovarian cancers as well as improvements to routine breast cancer screening. In addition, such biomarkers provide greater prognostic capabilities, enabling better outcomes for patients for both cancers. The EU FP7 EpiFemCare consortium aims to improve patient outcomes for breast and ovarian cancer by developing and validating a series of blood tests based upon DNA methylation technology. These "liquid biopsies" will facilitate both early detection and prediction of therapeutic outcome of breast and ovarian cancer. We report here the results of applying novel bioinformatics methods offered by Genedata ProfilerTM, a software platform that optimizes the business process of genomic profiling of patients, for analysis of Reduced Representation Bisulfite Sequencing (RBBS) data to detect cancer-specific methylation regions for use as clinical diagnostic assays.

About Hans Keilson
Hans Keilson was born 1909 in Bad Freienwalde. His 1933 novel Das Leben geht weiter was the last debut of a Jewish author published by S. Fischer before the end of the Second World War. In 1936, Keilson left Germany and emigrated to the Netherlands, where he lived until his death in 2011. Hans Keilson, in his work as author and psychiatrist, analysed and captured in writing the emotional, political, and cultural effects of the National Socialist period like no other author. His literary commitment to humanity was unwavering. In stark contrast to the loud confusion of the 20th century, his quiet, sometimes funny, characterisations remain deeply human in their existential and historical experience. A grand poet in his prose, an analytic, clear-eyed observer in his poetry. In 2005, his complete works were published by S. Fischer in two volumes; in 2011, his memoir, Da steht mein Haus, followed.

So I'd consider this my first real rigging project. The model of the "skywhale" was created by my classmate, Kevin Baker, who has some serious modeling skills. But the motion system and controls were created by me. Which means, I totally made that thing fly.
I know it doesn't seem very artistic to just make joint chains and controls and put them in hierarchies, but it's strangely addicting... especially once you see them moving. I love it.

Wrong Number - Episode 1
My name is Isaac Oluwapamilerin Daniella. Everybody calls me Pamilerin except my Dad, who only calls me Daniella.
The first daughter of a family of three kids(two girls and a boy) My Parents are civil servants.
I'm intelligent, emotional,beautiful, tall, size 8, dark skin. I can classify myself as a good girl because I was raised well by my Parents. I'm not an introvert and I'm not an extrovert either. Let me just say I'm in between.
Tunde and I are level mate, same department. We've been very good friends since 100 level. He's the best student in class with the highest CGPA followed by me, making us the best two student in class. By the time we got to 200l I realized he had feelings for me.
Truth be told I have feelings for him too. The eye contact we exchange in class, especially during practicals when we are grouped together and all that but we shy away from it.
What attracted me to him was the fact that he was brilliant, tall and handsome. I love brilliant guys. And all my male friends back home are brilliant as well.
One fateful day, he told me after class that he'd like to discuss something with me. I was scared because I know what he wanted to say.
He held my hands. "Pamilerin, I like you, I know we are friends and all but I want us to take this friendship to another love"
"Another level! I don't get you" I pretended as if I don't understand what he was saying.
"I know you know what I mean, but if you want me to say it out loud I will"
"So say it out loud"
"I want you to be my girl, I really like you"
"I like you too but I don't like the idea of dating my class mate. We see each other every day" I explained.
"That shouldn't be a barrier, or what do you think"
"I'll think about it"
"Please do, I hope I'll get a positive reply?"
I just smiled at him. Tunde finally let it out, and profess his love for me.
"See you tomorrow Tunde" I said and walked away.
I came back from school and I met commotion at my lodge.
"What's going on here" I asked one of my lodge mate.
"Its Bolu's parent o they came to pack her things"
"Why is that?"
"You won't believe it, she has been rusticated since 100l and she never told her parent about it"
"That's not possible, she do go for classes, in fact I've met her in lecture theaters severally and if during exams we go for night classes together"
"She's just acting o, she no more a student of this school"
"Pamilerin, so you don't know all this while, I have known since" Another girl in my lodge joined the conversation.
"Really, I never noticed, because most times we even go to school together in the morning"
"Her parents thought she was in final year o, and she's been collecting school fees from them o.
"Na only school fees pain you, she even collected #200,000 for project.
"Jesus! This is so unfair to her parents nau"
"Thank God for the good Samaritan that revealed the truth to them"
"She even denied it, not until her parent went to her so called department and discovered the whole truth"
"This is so sad, She made a big mistake, she should have open up to them or better still use all the money she's been collecting to get a Jamb form and try again.
"She wrote Jamb twice after she was rusticated, but she was denied admission"
"It's not compulsory she stays in this school, she should have opt for another university"
"If she change university the truth go come out na, you know the thing weh pain me pass?"
"What is it?" I asked
"She's the only child o, and she's making her parent suffer and waste money like this"
"Eh ya, but its not to late, she can still start all over again, I believe she has learnt her lessons"
"If na my papa o, no school for you again o. He don finish for you be that"
"That won't help her, I believe she can still start all over again, everyone deserves a second chance" I said
Bolu's parents were through packing her things with the help of some guys. They all entered into the car. Bolu was sitting at the back seat. I walked up to her and held her hand. While her Dad was still doing one or two things in the car. I seize the opportunity to have a word with her.
"Bolu you don't have to cry, tears won't repair all the damage. Just make sure you don't give up on your self"
"Thank you Pamilerin" she sniffed.
"You can start afresh, you can be whatever you want to be. All you need is determination"
"Thank you my daughter" her mummy said to me.
"Its nothing ma, please ma, don't give up on her. I know how you feel right now, but its not the end of the road for her"
"Thank you dear" she said
"Thank you, thanks for the advice, I'll try my best" Bolu Dad said
"You are welcome sir, I pray you and mummy will reap the fruit of your labor"
"Amen" they chorused.
I faced Bolu, it's not a crime to fall, but the most important is too rise again. May God be with you"
"Amen" she nodded, crying out loud.
"I will give you a call" I said
She nodded.
"Safe journey" I said and waved at them as the car took off.
I went straight to my room and crashed on my bed, I was tired and famished at the same time.
I thought about Bolus case again, I really felt sorry for her parent.

Episode 2
Weeks later, Tunde and I started dating. Trust people, they noticed in no time. We are already tagged couples. Some girls in class who has eyes on him gave me attitudes but I understand.
I know they secretly envied me because I was dating the most intelligent guy not only in the department but even in the faculty.
I know how they flock around him all in the name of tutorials, but he never gave them attention.
With time they realized we are for real and gave up.
Even the guys discovered that they can only get him to tutor them through me, so they have no choice than to be on my good books.
With time the girls started relating well with me and everything was back to normal again.
Tunde and I became so close and inseparable, we spent most of our free time together.
Some months later, he came to my room in the evening to check on me. We chatted for a while and all of a sudden we started this stupid rough play. He kissed me, caressed me. I wanted to stop him but I couldn't.
I realized things are getting more heated between us, so I gathered all the strength in me and stop him.
I moved away from him.
"Tunde please stop, you are trespassing"
"Tunde what do you want from me?"
"I want you"
"I'm a virgin, I don't want to loose it, not now"
"You want to keep it for your man, right?"
I nodded
"I want to spend the rest of my life with you, I'm not just dating you for the fun of it, I'm in this for real. I want to marry you"
"You can't be so sure, we still have a long journey ahead of us"
"I will never disappoint you, I will never hurt you, I promise"
I eventually gave in, he undressed me, I was shy at first, I've never been unclad in the presence of a guy before, I grabbed my cover cloth to cover myself. He pulled the cover cloth gently from my body.
"You don't have to be shy, look at me, I'm unclad too"
I couldn't bring myself to look at him, I was even scared of seeing him unclothed.
My church mind was saying otherwise, but I gave in after so much persuasion. I lost my virginity that very night.
Before now I promised myself not to loose my virginity until I'm married, but I broke my promise and gave myself to him.
That night he slept in my room for the first time. And ever since that night we started having sex on a regular basis.
Exam came, we read and studied together( exam didn't stop us from having sex)But we don't sit together in the exam hall. We sit separately. We do submit our answer booklets almost at the same time. So we leave the exam hall together.
Our result came out the next semester and he was still leading the class with the highest CGPA followed by me. I was happy our relationship did not get in the way of our academics.
By the time we got to 300l, Tunde and I practically lived together in his self contained apartment in school. It's not that I don't have my own room, I do but he wanted me to be a live in girlfriend.
I don't like the cohabitation idea in the first place but I eventually agreed to it. I only go to my place once in a while to clean up and do one or two things. I only sleep in my room when my relative came visiting especially my mum.
Our love waxed stronger, we do things together and things were going on smoothly between us. Then the worst happened.

Wrong Number - Episode 3
"Tunde I'm two weeks late, I'm scared" I informed him.
"Pamilerin you can't be pregnant, we always use protection except for few times that we got carried away"
"Those few times are enough to get me pregnant"
"I think you should get tested first before jumping into conclusion" he said
"I will get a pregnancy test strip from the pharmacy on my way back from school" I said as I dress up preparing for lectures.
Later in the day, we both came back from school, and I prepared dinner and dished it into a breakable plate. We do eat together.
"Babe you are not eating, you are just staring at the food" he said looking directly into my eyes.
"How will I eat, I've bought the pregnancy test strip and I don't know what the result will say. I'm seriously scared"
"Just calm down, let's see the result first"
"Tunde what if I'm pregnant?"
"When will you have the test?" he asked
"First thing tomorrow morning"
"Just calm down"
"You are just saying I should calm down, you are a man it won't affect you"
"You think it won't affect me? Let's just wait till tomorrow, now eat your food"
"I've lost myappetite" I stood up and sat on the bed.
"You know starving yourself won't solve the problem. I'll cover the food, you can eat when you regain your appetite"
I lay on the bed to sleep but I couldn't sleep all through the night. I thought of my life and my future. I came from a godly home where my parents did their best in raising godly children. But see what love made me do.
I know it everyday that what I'm doing was wrong, it's against my belief. I never intended to have sex in my relationship not to talk of been a live in girlfriend.
I did all this for the sake of love, the pressure was much from Tunde that I had to succumb. Fine staying together makes us bond well but I wonder what we stand to gain aside from the bonding and regular sex but see where it landed me.
I'm pregnant I'm very sure of that, I've never been this late since I started menstruating, worst is between two or three days, then I'll see my period" I thought.
While I was still thinking about the mess I got myself into, I felt his hand on my body because I was backing him so I didn't see him, he was trying to get me aroused.
"Tunde take your hands off me this minute" I said angrily.
"Babe I'm just trying to help ease your worries"
"By having sex with me? I doubt if you are bothered a bit"
"Off course I am, I just want to….
"Do you even love me, because if you do you won't be thinking about sex right now"
"I cant believe you just said that, you know I love you"
"Which I'm beginning to doubt, just let me be, pleaseeee"
"I'm very sorry my love, I thought it will help. Stop giving yourself headache we are not even sure yet"
"I get it, it's my body not yours and I know if something it's not right"
I took one of the pillows, stood up from the bed and lie on the rug.
"Please come back to bed Pamilerin, I won't touch you" he pleaded.
I pretended as if I did not hear him. I just lay there on the rug thinking about what the test result will be.

Yippee!!! Madam Rachael don start another one. Pamilerin is pregnant. No doubt. I don't really think Tunde loves her jae. He doesn't have to pressurize her so as to succumb to his will. If he actually claim he love her, he should have waited till their wedding night.
Nice Storyline tho.
Thanks for the mention ma'am.

Yet one of the questions we hear most often at the garden center this time of year revolves around our Christmas cactus plants. If they are blooming now, are the really "Christmas" cactus? Or are they Thanksgiving cactus? And sometimes they bloom at Easter ... so is that simply a Christmas cactus gone astray? It's a common misconception that all of the cactus that bloom this time of year are "Christmas" cactus, and that's not true.
The truth is that several varieties of this popular holiday bloomer exist, and there are simple ways to tell them apart, aside from the bloom time. This week, I want to share how to use a few clues to solve the mystery of the Christmas cactus. Many people think that except for when they bloom, Thanksgiving and Christmas cactus all look alike, right? Well, not exactly.
Both belong to the genus Schlumbergera or Zygocactus, which is a genus of rock dwelling cacti native to the rainforests of Brazil, and both are known as holiday cactus. But that's where the similarities end. Their names, Thanksgiving cactus and Christmas cactus are derived from the holiday closest to their blooming periods. To confuse the matter a little more, there is also a Spring cactus, or Easter cactus that belongs to an entirely different family- Hatiora gaertneri.
However, the plants are distinctly different. Without going into too much horticulture-speak, let me break it down into simple terms.
Thanksgiving cactus are Schlumbergera truncata and the easiest way to tell them apart is that the edges of their flattened stem segments resemble a crab's claw. The leaf margins will be pointed like hooks or claws. When grown under normal light conditions, these plants bloom on or around Thanksgiving.
True Christmas cactus are Schlumbergera bridgesii and they are easily identified because they have smoother, rounded edges to their stem segments. They will bloom closer to Christmas, usually have red blossoms and can be difficult to find to buy.
Easter cactus, or spring cactus begin to bloom around February and sometimes will bloom again during the summer months.
All holiday cactus come in a variety of colors ranging from white to pink to magenta to red, and you may even find some that are yellow or bicolor. There has been a lot of breeding and hybridization over the years to change the colors from what you remember in your grandmother's windowsill from long ago. As a matter of fact, many people take cuttings and the same plant has been known to survive throughout many generations from cuttings from a grandmother's or mother's original plant. They are very easy to propagate.
Care for these plants is fairly simple and they are great houseplants. Keep them in a bright, sunny location but not in direct sunlight. Keep them away from hot air - they'll bloom better in a place where temperatures are in the 50-55 degree range at night and the 65-70 range during the day. Don't over water- they are cactus and don't need a great deal of water, especially during November and December. You may experience bud drop if they are exposed to drastic temperature, light or moisture changes.
If you have one from previous years that you'd like to have flower again, you'll be surprised to know that these cactus are similar to poinsettias in that they are thermo-photoperiodic meaning they have specific light and temperature requirements in order to set buds. They need six to eight weeks of exposure to nearly equal dark and light conditions and lower (50-60 degree) temperatures. For most people, this is accomplished easily by putting them in a room that is not in constant use in the evenings thereby creating natural daylength.
Individual blooms will last a week or more, but the plants are often so prolific that the show can easily last for a month or more.
Elderly folks especially enjoy these plants not only because they are so easy to care for, but also because they provide a bright and cheerful bloom during the short, dark days of winter. If you are looking for an alternative to a poinsettia, holiday cactus make wonderful gifts and are easy to care for so they are suitable for just about anyone in either home or office.

Valleys and mountains far and wide;
Each holds a story and a cry.
For over the years our love has grown;
As each passing day the sun also shone.
As time passed by so have you grown;
From a child in my arms to an adult of your own.
The laughter and tears of long ago;
Remain inside me as I see you go.
Good times and bad I wish I'd done more;
To make it possible for you to soar.

We have created this fourth Zinnias class due to popular demand!
Zinnias are a popular flower with many colored varietals. In this class, ifarm's head gardener, Emily Round, will provide you with a dozen Zinnias ready for transplant into your garden, including six of the Benary variety that produces big show-stopping blooms, and six of the Oklahoma variety that produces smaller and more abundant flowers. We will provide a spectrum of colors to each participant, from reds and yellows to purples and darker hues.
Emily will explain the best ways to transplant, care for, direct seed, and harvest your Zinnias to ensure an abundant and consistent cutting garden through the growing season.
To plant these Zinnias, you will need a 4' by 6' garden space outside, with access to at least six hours of sun a day. They will provide enough flowers to harvest a colorful bouquet every week.
Monarchs, hummingbirds and bees will all be attracted to your garden by the Zinnias!
This is a hands-on class with demonstrations: Please come dressed to work with plants and soil, and prepared to be in a greenhouse or outdoors. ifarm will provide gardening gloves for participants to use during the class.
In the case of cancellation and rescheduling due to weather, we will send out an email to all registrants at least 12 hours before the event. You can read about our cancellation policy here.

Recent research has shown that Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) are on the rise due to the synergistic effects of climate change and habitat destruction.
The impacts of AIS on biodiversity, human health, and loss of ecosystem services (food, tourism and water provision) have long been known, but their control and management has now become a worldwide priority.
On 3rd September 2018 we delivered special sessions at Neobiota 2018 focusing on these topics.
Our programme is available on-line and included keynote talks from Professor David Lodge , Professor Tony Ricciardi and Professor Dan Simberloff.

History shows that the Republican candidate who wins most of the states on Super Tuesday wins the nomination. And so Donald Trump is on course to stand on the stage in Cleveland, Ohio, in the summer and follow in the footsteps of Nixon, Reagan, Bush (both of them), Dole and McCain. His rise has been spectacular.
Trump wondered about running for president in 2000 for the Reform Party. But eventually he decided not to seek the nomination saying that the party was too splintered to mount a successful run at the White House. He also didn't like its main figures. One was Pat Buchanan, a former Nixon speechwriter who twice attempted to secure the Republican presidential nomination himself. He was accused of anti-Semitism while disputing the numbers of Jews killed by the Nazis at the Treblinka death camp. Another was David Duke, at one point a prominent Republican politician in Louisiana but perhaps better known as the former grand wizard of the racist Ku Klux Klan. Trump left saying: 'That is not the company I wish to keep'.
Yet when asked about David Duke expressing support for Trump's election campaign this week, the billionaire businessman said he had no idea who Duke was. He didn't initially disavow his support. And he claimed he didn't have enough information about white supremacist groups to reject any endorsement they might offer. Within hours – and perhaps aware of the storm he had created – Trump rejected Duke's backing.
The Southern Poverty Law Centre, which tracks hate groups in the US, was astounded by Trump's claims. Mark Potok, a senior fellow with the group, speaking from its headquarters in Alabama, said the idea that Trump had to look up the klan was 'astounding'. He added: 'I've never seen anything like that in mainstream politics, literally for decades'.
Trump has managed to harness a visceral anger in the US, where people feel that politicians have failed to deliver on promises, that they are ignored, and that the system is rigged against them. A similar anger has helped propel the Bernie Sanders campaign on the Democrat side. Potok tried to explain it: 'There is a large working class and lower middle class white America who feel they are in trouble and who they feel their country is changing around them and they're angry'. He believes Trump was initially reluctant to repudiate the klan on the chance that it would impact on the constituency he was trying to reach.
Throughout his campaign he has attacked and attacked, yet every time the crowds have roared with approval. Despite people thinking that each new controversy would finish him, he's become stronger and bolder.
For many of Trump's supporters the last eight years have brought massive changes. There is a black man in the White House. Gay marriage has been legalised. A form of universal health care has been introduced.
One columnist in Houston, Cory Garcia, argues that Trump is the best thing to happen to American politics, believing he's exposed a dark underbelly. Sitting in a conference room at his weekly paper, the Houston Press, he told me: 'Donald Trump is the answer to a lot of Republican questions about "what would happen if we were just honest? What if we didn't beat around the bush about race, or immigration, or terrorism? What if we just said what we meant? Like, would we be punished for that? Would people be isolated, would we be marginalised?" And the answer, at least to Republican voters, is no'.
The Republican establishment thought Trump's campaign would fall apart. He didn't have the support. He didn't have the discipline. He didn't have the organisation. Now they are deeply worried he will be the party's standard-bearer in November's presidential election.
And after Super Tuesday, that is more likely than not.
