The present invention relates to an installation for transmitting alarm signals, primarily in cases of personal attack, and localizing alarm transmitters.
For the staff of hospitals, prisons and other custodial institutions there is a need for calling for help in assault or battery by means of an alarm sender which can be carried in a pocket.
In such installations it is important that the place from which an alarm has been sent can be localized. Localization can be done with aid of an alarm receiver, so that every room in a building is provided with an alarm receiver. In such case since only the alarm receiver in the room where the alarm signal has been sent reacts to an alarm, localization is carried out simply. Thus the propagation of the alarm signal is limited by the walls of the room when the alarm signal is sent supersonically or by infrared light. A serious drawback with alarm transmission in this mode is that transmission is hindered or heavily dampened if the alarm sender is kept under clothes or if it were to be under the body during a struggle. It should specifically not be necessary to take out the alarm sender in an assault, since this itself can initiate the aggressive action.
If a radio transmitter is used instead for sending the alarm, it can be carried in the clothes and does not need to be taken out to send an alarm, since radio transmission penetrates through clothes quite easily. The good penetration ability of radio transmission, however, excludes localization of the alarm sender with the help of receivers in each room, since the emissions from the transmitters are not limited by the walls of a room. Attempts to localize such an emission by taking bearings is made impossible by all the reflections obtained from the building walls.
It would be easy to localize the radio transmitter sending an alarm if the transmission contained a code notifying the location of the alarm sender, but requiring staff to set a variable room code on their alarm senders is not reasonable in practice. Staff should not need to think about the alarm sender except at the moment when it needs to be used.
According to the present invention, a room code is automatically set in the alarm sender, giving its position in the building. The set room code is automatically changed when the alarm sender is carried from one place to another. When an alarm is sent, the latest stored room code is sent by radio to a central alarm receiver. The room code received in the alarm receiver is stored in a memory and the position of the sender is shown on a digital display. How coded messages are sent by radio and received and displayed in a central receiving station is already described in the U.S. Pat. No. 3,678,391.
The room code in the alarm senders is reset as follows: A number of small, locally fixed transmitters, with continuous electromagnetic emission, in this case inductive emission, are placed in a building, and send a code unique for the position of the fixed transmitter to a receiver in each alarm sender, this code therefore being called the room code. The received code is stored in a memory in the sender, and if the sender is triggered for sending an alarm, the stored code is transmitted with the radio signal to the central alarm receiver.
Each fixed transmitter is suitably placed in one door frame so that transmission of the room code takes place when the alarm sender passes through door frames between different rooms. The code transmitted by the fixed transmitter is thus unique for the door frame where the transmitter is placed. The fixed inductive transmitters for the unique code only transmit with low power, and their transmitting antenna is a small magnetic dipole antenna. Since the transmitting power is low and the field strength from a small dipole antenna is, to the first approximation, inversely proportional to the cube of the distance from the antenna, the clear domination of the field strength from a transmitter in a door frame over the field strength from transmitters in other door frames is thus ensured.
For wide doors it may be necessary for a transmitter to feed two dipole antennae, one in each door jamb.
Inductive transmission of the room code has been selected not only because it penetrates clothes without difficulty, so that the alarm sender can be carried in a pocket, but also because the propagation of the magnetic field from the dipole antenna of the fixed transmitter can be accurately calculated and limited to the areas nearest to a door opening.
The inductive receiver for receiving the room code in a portable alarm sender will be alternately exposed to strong fields at the door openings and almost no fields at a short distance therefrom, and sometimes to the interaction of nearly equal strong fields from two inductive transmitters. This results in that the inductive receiver of the alarm sender alternatingly receives strong signals having correct codes and signals with incorrect, interrupted or mixed codes. Parity bits are therefore added to the room codes, and a decoder placed in the inductive receivers of the alarm sender are adapted for reading the parity bits and discovering errors in the received codes. Incorrect codes will thus be rejected and not allowed to alter a room code already stored in the memory of the alarm sender.
If a doorway is placed very close to the wall of a room, other than the one to which the doorway in question leads, the field strength from the transmitter in the doorway can be stronger in a portion of the first room than the field strength from the transmitter in the door frame of this room. To prevent unwarrented resetting of the alarm sender code at any place in the first room, a dummy sender can be arranged, which is adapted to transmit a signal preventing alteration of a unique code already stored in the memory of the radio transmitter.
Receivers for inductively transmitted coded signals of the kind used here, their decoders and memories are known in the prior art as apparent from the U.S. Pat. No. 3,665,313.
All the portable radio transmitters in an installation are intended to send on the same radio channel with the same frequency.
The portable alarm senders can also be provided with a memory for a permanently stored code which is unique to a particular alarm sender. In an emergency, this code is transmitted immediately after the code which is unique to the location from which the alarm has been sent, thus indicating in the alarm centre which sender and thus which person has sent the alarm.
An installation in accordance with the invention will now be described while referring to the accompanying drawing in which:
FIG. 1 is a principle block diagram of the installation;
FIG. 2 is a block diagram of an alarm sender and a central alarm receiver;
FIG. 3 is a block diagram of a locally fixed transmitter; and
FIG. 4 is the floor plan of a building with examples of the placement of fixed transmitters.
The installation in accordance with the invention includes, as illustrated in FIG. 1, a plurality of locally fixed transmitters, of which two, 1A, 1B are shown in the Figure. The installation further comprises one or more alarm senders 2 and a central alarm receiver 3.
The alarm sender 2 includes, as is apparent from FIG. 2, an antenna 21 for receiving inductively transmitted signals; a receiver 22 with amplifier, connected to the antenna 21; a decoder 23 for received signals; a memory 24 for storing a received code, connected to the decoder; a control logic circuit 25, operable by means of a push button 26, for controlling the transmission of the code stored in the memory 24, with the help of a radio transmitter 27 and antenna 28, connected to the logical circuit 25.
As is apparent from FIG. 2, the central alarm receiver 3 includes a receiver antenna 31 for radio signals, a radio receiver 32 with amplifier and a decoder with indicator 33 for displaying received messages.
When an alarm is to be sent by the sender 2, e.g. in a case of assault, the button 26 on the sender carried in the pocket of the wearer is pressed by the wearer. The control logic circuit 25 will thus become operable for transmitting, by means of the radio transmitter 27, radio signals coded with the room code stored in the memory 24 and unique to the place where the sender is at the moment.
The alarm sender radio transmitter 27 transmits with a frequency selected in the 160 MHz-waveband, for example.
The radio signal from the sender is received by the central alarm receiver 3 and the unique code is shown on the display 33.
In some installations, the sender 2 is also provided with a second memory 29. In this memory there is stored a second code unique to the individual sender, and thus also to the person carrying the sender. The control logic circuit 25 is adapted for sending the second code immediately after the first code when an alarm is sent. The display 33 in the central receiver shows the designation of the person who has sent the alarm.
Such techniques are notoriously wellknown and are shown and described with respect to apparatus for transmitting and indicating coded radio signals in said U.S. Pat. No. 3,678,391.
The room code stored in the memory 24 is transferred inductively to the carried alarm sender when it comes in the immediate vicinity of one of several fixed transmitters in the installation. In each such fixed transmitter 1 there is included, as is shown in FIG. 3, a modulatable oscillator 41, a code generator 42 with a code memory connected to the oscillator, an output amplifier 43 connected to the oscillator and a magnetic dipole antenna 44 connected to the output amplifier. A voltage supply unit 45 is connected to the three first-mentioned part units for supplying them with the necessary voltages.
The fixed transmitters 1 are placed in the installation, e.g. as is apparent from FIG. 4. The figure is a floor plan of a building with rooms A,B,C and D. So that the fixed transmitters will act reliably on the carried alarm senders, they are placed in door frames or in other narrow passages. The transmitting power from the fixed transmitter, e.g. transmitter 51 in FIG. 4 is small, and the field strength from the small dipole antenna of the transmitter is inversely proportional to the cube of the distance from the antenna, to a first approximation, it thus being ensured that the field strength of the transmitter in a door frame clearly dominates over the field strength of transmitters in other door frames, e.g. transmitter 52.
If a door is especially wide, two dipole antennae 53A, 53B may be needed, one in each door jamb and connected to the same fixed transmitter. A magnetic loop can alternatively be arranged around the door frame instead of the dipole antennae.
The inductive transmission enables the fixed transmission to be manufactured in a single monolitic circuit. The dipole antenna, monolith and voltage supply unit are molded together to one unit for fitting into the door jamb.
The fixed sender 1,51 transmits a code continuously and inductively, such code being unique to the door etc. where it is placed, and when an alarm sender 2 is carried through the doorway the voltage will be sufficiently great in its receiver antenna 21 in FIG. 2 for the code to be written into the sender memory 24. If the sender is subsequently carried past another fixed transmitter, e.g. 52, its unique code, differing from the previous one, is transmitted, and the new code is written in over the one already in the sender memory. In this way the alarm sender will always be updated with the code unique to its momentary location, and it is this code which is transmitted when an alarm signal is sent.
Parity bits are added to the typical code so that the right codes will be received in the alarm sender, in spite of strongly varying field strengths at its receiver. Reception reliability can be further increased by exchanging the latest code put into the sender memory 24 only when two new identical and correct codes have been received in immediate sequence. The transmission rate should be at least five codes per second so that two codes will be reliably received during a hasty passage through the doorway. The fixed transmitters transmit a frequency selected in the range of 16-140 kHz.
Apparatus for inductively transferring coded signals, their decoders and memories are known in principle, e.g. from inductive staff locator equipment, and therefore no detailed description thereof is considered necessary.
A fixed transmitter, e.g. 54 in FIG. 4, can be placed in a door frame of a room C, so close to an adjacent room D that in a corner of the room D an alarm sender, which has been given a unique code set by the transmitter 55 could get the code altered by the transmitter 54, which would be incorrect. Such unwarranted alteration of the typical code is prevented by arranging a dummy transmitter 56 between both fixed transmitters. The dummy 56 is substantially the same as the other fixed transmitters, but is adapted for only sending a carrier wave with the same frequency as the one from the fixed transmitters. The dummy transmission blocks the receiver in the alarm sender and prevents reception of such transmission which can lead to resetting the stored code. The dummy transmission can also be modulated to obtain greater blocking action.
The radio transmitters of the alarm senders are normally adapted for transmitting at the same frequency. The risk of two alarm senders sending an alarm simultaneously and thus blocking each other is very small. If it is feared even so that alarms could be sent simultaneously, the risk of blocking can be reduced by making the alarm transmission short, e.g. 70 mS and repeating it after a comparatively long interval of 2 seconds. The risk of blocking is further reduced if the intervals between the alarm transmissions are made somewhat different for individual alarm senders.

Black Cow Candied Chai
Created by Krisi Smith from The Blue Bird Tea Company.
35 ml Black Cow
35 ml Chai Syrup
35 ml Chai Concentrate
Candied ginger ingredients
Gingerbread Chai (Or other chai blend of choice)
10 slices fresh ginger
400g Caster sugar
Ground ginger
Brew your chai with 800ml boiling water for at least 8 mins - you can do this on the stove, in a teapot or any loose leaf brewing method.
Place your slices of ginger in a saucepan on a medium heat with 400ml of your freshly brewed chai. Simmer for 30 mins, stirring regularly until the ginger is tender.
Once tender add your sugar and bring to the boil, still stirring regularly.
Once boiling, reduce heat a little and continually stir until the liquid reduces, thickens and gets syrup-y! This should take about 15 mins. When ready, decant the liquid into a cup or glass and leave approx 50ml in the pan with your ginger - return the pan to the heat. Keep stirring as the ginger gets coated in the crystalised chai.
Once the pan is dry take off the heat and remove the ginger pieces to dry on a piece of tin foil or baking parchment. Don't wash up your pan just yet as you can scrape off the remaining crysalised chai to create a garnish rim for your glass! Do this by putting a generous sprinkling of crystalised chai with ground ginger onto a saucer or plate. Coat the rims of two glass tumblers with a little lemon juice before turning over and placing onto the saucer so the sugar sticks to the glass.
Next, put three cubes of ice into each of your glasses, add 35ml of your chai concentrate, 35ml of your chai syrup and 35ml of Black Cow Milk Vodka. Garnish with a cinnamon stick, some of your crystalised ginger and edible flowers.

Matute "After using the Super Kick for a couple of days, I was getting a different reaction from my right foot. Most, if not all, left footed soccer players cannot use their right foot…well, the Super Kick has given me that right foot that I always wanted. I feel much more comfortable using my right foot. I can drive a ball either standing still or moving. I can juggle ten times better then I could a couple of weeks ago, and my confidence has improved greatly. Take care Armando and good luck with the Super Kick. It definitely works."
Helmis Matute (MLS team Chivas USA, VCU).
"The Super Kick soccer training aid makes the kicking motion feel natural. It places the players ankle in the position it needs to be in to have a good kicking technique".
Robert Ssejjemba (Uganda National Team, Richmond Kickers (USL I Division).
"The Super Kick is a great training aid for soccer players of all ages. The Super Kick will help soccer players drive balls longer distances and give them better power and accuracy".
Andrew Bradham (Liberty University(04,05), Clemson University(06,07))
"As a college coach, I encounter many injuries during a season. It is very important that we keep our players healthy. I would recommend using the Super Kick to treat common injuries such as ankle sprains and shin splints. Players would be more likely to do rehab with the Super Kick because it is more convenient than other rehab tools. The other great thing about it is that a player can also use it to improve their kicking technique. There is nothing else out there that can be used for both purposes."
Ben Strawbridge (Richmond Kickers (A-League)) and Current Liberty University's Women's Assistant Coach

Program basics
BSW Seniors are in field work two days (16 hours) a week during both semesters of the academic year. Students are expected to participate in direct practice with individuals and/or small groups and to understand the familial, community, organizational, and societal context of human behavior. Assignments in the senior year will combine practice with at least two levels of systems including individuals, families, groups (including task-oriented groups), and community organizations.
We offer a traditional BSW program, and we offer our BSW WOW! (Where Online Works!) program in which seniors do their field placement at an accelerated pace in one semester rather than two. For more information on starting one of our programs, please take a look at these descriptions.
Course Information
BSW Senior Year Field Work Syllabus- SW4998
Field education is a major educational component of graduate social work education, and it is the signature pedagogy of the WSU School of Social Work degree programs. Field education in the Foundation Year requires students learn the fundamentals of social work, which prepares them for their Advanced Year with the program, where students specialize in a chosen interest area. We offer our accelerated Advanced Standing MSW program for graduates holding a bachelors degree in social work. Advanced Year students must choose between two theory tracks, Interpersonal Practice (IP) and Innovations in Community, Policy, and Leadership (ICPL). Each concentration offers a different practice focus.
Interpersonal Practice focuses on child welfare, families at risk, schools, aging/gerontology, healthcare, mental health inpatient, and mental health outpatient.
Innovation in Community, Policy, and Leadership provides students with working knowledge of social work from three interest areas: community building/development, policy, and leadership.
Advanced Year students may also choose between two days of Field (16 hours) or three days (24 hours) per week. We offer a traditional two-year full-time MSW program with part-time plans available. The Advanced Standing full-time program is ten months, while the part time program is stretched over two years.

This news report briefly portrays the funny sequences of the road accident. It shows how some of the clever girls took an unfair advantage of their gender. The news is receiving interesting reviews and funny comments from the users of social media.
There are many news reports of road incident, but no one portrays such a hilarious acting of the victim. A girl was riding on her bicycle on the dense vegetated road. She was enjoying the natural beauty and listening songs to unwind her mind.
Video Link; http://thenewstank.com/DVzSX
She was involved in her own world of eternity and peace. Suddenly, she falls down and receives minor injuries. She rescued herself, but her bicycle could not able to work properly. She gets confused for a while, but manages to it on the road. She wants to take help form the passersby, but no one bothers to help.
Then she decided to play tricks to attract the people. Unfortunately, not even a single man was attracted towards this girl. Her body language and gestures did not show that she was suffering from a minor incident.
All her tricks were failed for a moment. She became frustrated and exhausted due to the attitude of the strangers. The ambience of the entire scene is also hilarious.
The acting of this girl is really interesting. Her expression exactly depicts the cases, people often saw in their own country. At last, this puzzle headed girl laid in the middle of the main road and pretends to lose the nerves due to the road incident. The stone hearted people did not notice and continue to move on their own ways. A greedy man from a car step out of it and abducted the bicycle. He actually steals the bicycle and ran away. The girl gets astound and start screaming on the main road.

Flying Jalapeno Software Releases ScareBear Trail Companion for iPhone, iPod Touch
Date: Thursday, January 21st, 2010, 06:41
Category: iPhone
You have an iPhone and that's fine, but bears still roam through America's forests, eager to eat you and your iPhone.
Per The Unofficial Apple Weblog, Flying Jalapeno Software has released something that could save your life against these furry terrors; the ScareBear Trail Companion.
ScareBear Trail Companion is an iPhone app that replicates the sounds of bells, clapping, and rocks in a tin can which could help scare bears from your path before you even encounter them. Should you happen to come across a bear immune to these charms and wards, ScareBear Trail Companion still has you covered – in an emergency, you can use the app to sound an emulated air horn, which may terrify the creature and send it scurrying away.
While this isn't guaranteed to save your life, it's designed for the iPhone user who fears being eaten by bears (which we all should on one level or another).
ScareBear Trail Companion retails for US$0.99 and requires iPhone OS 3.1.2 or later to install and run.

WTF? I'd rather carry a gun!
The tricky part is getting the earbuds on the bear.
Just how loud do these sounds play? This really sounds like a stupid piece of software, right up there with "fart" sounds.http://js-kit.com/extra/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-yell.gif
Among the dumbest apps I have heard of. Grizzly vs. Black bears dmand different responses, and an iPhone squawk is just plain silly. Not to mention that one's response to a bear encounter should probably not involve the distraction of seeking out and using an iPhone app…
This will work only until the bears figure it out. Then the program will be renamed "Dinner Bell"
Seriously people, do you really think that the designers true intention was to really scare away bears or to entertain you? Maybe give you something to complain about? If your dumb enough to pull out your i-phone in the woods when staring down the face of a ferocious man eating carnivore, then your obviously dumb enough to part ways with the 99cents it will take you to get the app in the first place…ha ha

(LONDON) -- Texan supermodel Jerry Hall admitted Friday that she had not read the stinging reviews of her London stage debut as the seductress Mrs. Robinson in ``The Graduate.''
``Some people like you and some people don't. But the real test of comedy is if the audience is laughing,'' she said in an interview on BBC radio. ``And they are. That's instant gratification.''
Hall delighted the audience but underwhelmed the critics this week with her portrayal of the middle-aged Mrs. Robinson.
The long legs and now shorter blonde locks failed to tempt reviewers who taunted: ``Don't give up the day job, Jerry.''
``Her acting tends to be as wan and undernourished as an over-dieting model,'' said the Evening Standard newspaper. ``It is a role for which she was miscast and is far too inexperienced.''
Hall, 44, confessed that before she struts on to the stage each night she says a prayer that the audience will laugh.
``And they're getting louder,'' she said proudly.
She said comedy had interested her since she was a little girl in Texas and the role provided her with the creative outlet she craved in life after modeling.
She said there was also an element of regaining her independence following the very public and painful break-up of her marriage to Mick Jagger.
``I wanted to do something different, not just be Mick's ex,'' Hall said. ``For 22 years I put on a brave face and it was exhausting.
``He's wonderful, I love him and we get along great. He's a fantastic person, fantastic father, fantastic entertainer. He's just not a very good husband.''
Hall said she was surprised by the fuss made over the play's nude scene.
``It's such a small part in the play and it's beautifully lit,'' she said. ``There's nothing wrong with nudity, it's not pornography.''
Hall took over the role from Hollywood star Kathleen Turner who caused a sensation in the West End theater district when she announced she would strip for the seduction scene.
Anne Bancroft offered a young Dustin Hoffman just a glimpse of stocking in the famous 1967 film of The Graduate.

Defense Spending: A Lot Less Than You Think
What does the average American know about how much we spend on national defense? Not a lot. That ignorance shows up in this video of man-on-the-street interviews conducted by the Heritage Foundation, and the Good Lord knows that blazing ignorance certainly shows up in spades on the liberal blogs. I frequently point out that our […]

Tanis41493 posted a topic in Hardware/Software SupportSo, this isn't so much Hardware/Software as much as an issue with my account (This is my first time browsing, I'm sorry if this is in the wrong place). I had forgot the credentials for the account I am using, and had made another account using my current email. However, now that I remembered my original information, I wish to switch out this accounts out-dated email with my current one. Is there a way to do this without having to create a fake email account to link the second account to so that I may change my email? Thanks for all the help, Tanis
tatortodd22 posted a topic in Study HallFirst post here! Studying game design and working on modding Skyrim in my spare time for fun and practice. Could use some help with this mod! I'm fairly fresh to modding, so I appreciate all assistance and patience. Objective of mod: Avatar State (crazy storm, powerful melee, etc.) First Issue: I've been exploring the Creation Kit while creating a custom power. I've been trying to find a way to make a cyclone of the effect used for dragon souls? I've been playing with the visuals for the Blizzard Magic Effect but haven't had much luck. For reference, this is the effect I want cycloning around the player: Second Issue: This one I've looked into, but not as extensively as the shader swap. Basically, during this power's activation, I want the player to throw his enemies with each hit, much like the werewolf power hit. Now, there's a script that I found for the wolf punch in the effects list, but I'm not sure how to assign that to the player, whether I should apply that to the player's weapons as an enchantment (I'd like to avoid that if possible) like Elemental Fury, or to the player's attack? I don't know how to approach this. Thanks for any and all help, fellows!

Over the past month, we were given the opportunity to sample a few different Old El Paso Frozen Entrees around our home. Now, I make Mexican food all the time, and it's a big favorite among us all. So, not surprisingly, my family enjoyed trying the burritos and enchiladas, but the fajitas were the stand-out favorite. My husband and I cooked up a bag quickly one night, served them on small flour tortillas with lots of toppings, and were very happy campers.
On their ow,n the fajitas are good, but, as advertised, it's designed to feed two. I am raising a pack of wild animals with hollow legs around here, so I knew I couldn't hope to stretch a bag to feed all five of us…
Until I spotted the last bag of steak fajitas at breakfast time.
Fajita Eggs were born and they were DELICIOUS. You could make this recipe with any fajita blend, really, but having the Old El Paso Frozen Fajitas on hand made it ridiculously fast to whip up a hearty, impressive breakfast.
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 8 eggs, scrambled
- 1 package, Old El Paso Frozen Entrees- Steak Fajita
- Following package directions, heat fajita mix and thoroughly warmed through.
- Add butter to skillet. Once melted, pour in scrambled eggs.
- Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until eggs are set up.
- Serve with warm tortillas or fried potatoes.
"Disclosure: The information and prize pack have been provided by Old El Paso® through Platefull Co-Op.


text: So, missus wants to go to Glasgow for one of her friends wedding anniversaries next weekend, so I get all excited. A nice long drive for the Accord, a chance to clean her out a bit as such etc until some more friends ask if we can give them a lift. 4 adults, 2 kids in an Accord isnt going to work very well. Absolutely gutted, looking forward to a nice road trip in my car. Missus decides to look at the cost of splitting the cost of a rented 7 seater, says she has found one and asks me to put a deposit down on a Vauxhall. Almost shot myself - not a hope will I actually invest money into anything as appalling as a Vauxhall. (@Ichiban). Horrid, just horrid things. If it wasnt for the fact that I would lose money, I would no doubt end up blowing the gearbox on that too or driving it into a wall, or perhaps, hopefully, even both. Need to get hold of an FR-V, 6 seats is enough, but can't find them for rental at all. Not driving to Scotland in a Vauxhall, it just quite simply isnt ever going to happen. Other option is an S-Max if I stick to 7 seats. On a side note, @ArcticFire, are you near to Glasgow? Where is a good place to keep the kids occupied for a weekend? Personally, whilst the missus is with her friends, I want to go look at some castles (always fascinated me)

Dear KFBers, how was your day? We have loads of interesting stories in tonight's #MajorHeadlinesYouMissedToday feature
21-year-old man arrested for attempting to behead his friend for rituals
A 21-year-old man is currently in Police custody in Tema, Ghana for attempting to behead his friend for rituals. Charles Ashitey, also known as Zaga was arrested by some residents of Tema Newtown after his attempt to behead his 19-year-old friend, Daniel Norteye, failed.
According to the Police, on 31st July, 2016, Norteye was tired after a dance rehearsal and decided to spend the night in the room of the suspect…
However, at about 4:00am, Norteye felt a sharp pain on his neck. He woke only to see the suspect, Ayitey holding a knife and cutting his throat. He then struggled with suspect, which resulted in multiple cuts in the victim's palm and abdomen but he was eventually able to escape with the knife and was rushed to his aunt's house where he was taken to the Tema Newtown Police Station to lodge an official complaint. He was then taken to the Tema General Hospital where he was treated and discharged.
Further investigations in the room of the suspect revealed a stinking beheaded snake, egg shells, and powder, which were sprinkled around the room. A wooden doll was also found in the room as well. When suspect was asked on how he came by those items and why he had sprinkled powder in his room, he said the snake was for a friend who was going to eat it but suspect pleaded with his friend to give it to him.
Court rules that seizure of Fayose's properties by EFCC does not violate his immunity
Justice Nnamdi Dimgba of the Federal High Court in Abuja has ruled that the order he gave on July 20th authorizing the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to seize some properties belonging to Ekiti state governor Ayo Fayose is valid and that the properties must remain seized until investigations by EFCC is completed.
Ruling on an application by Fayose's lawyer, Mike Ozekhome asking the court to set aside the interim forfeiture orders, Justice Nnamdi Dimgba ruled that the order of interim forfeiture did not violate the provisions of section 308 of the Constitution which confers immunity from civil and criminal proceedings on Fayose.
"It is my considered opinion that the order of court, made on July 20, 2016 in respect of some property of the applicant, and within the limited scope and duration within which it was obtained, was duly procured and does not offend the provision of the Constitution referred to.
Although Section 308 of the Constitution serves to isolate governors of states from the distraction of litigation and legal proceedings, to enable them to attend to official responsibilities, it should not be interpreted in such a way as to defeat the fight against corruption, to mean that the EFCC or other investigating agencies cannot take a peep into the assets or personal accounts of a serving governor in the execution of a strictly worded and mutually supervised interim attachment orders for the purposes of obtaining evidence for use in future when the immunity has lapsed."he said Among Fayose's properties that have been seized are four sets of four-bedroom apartments at Charlets 3, 4, 6 and 9, Plot 100, Tiaminu Savage, Victoria Island, Lagos. The two others are at 44 Osun Crescent, Maitama, Abuja and Plot 1504 Yedzeram Street, Maitama Abuja.

Trump unfit to lead United States – Obama
United States President, Barack Obama, Tuesday, declared that Republican Presidential Candidate, Donald Trump is "unfit" to lead the God's Own State.
He, therefore, called on Republicans to disown him.
Obama cast aside any pretense of domestic unity and described Trump as "woefully unprepared" and "unfit to serve as president."
"He keeps proving it. This isn't a situation where you have an episodic gaffe," Obama said.
"This is daily and weekly where they are distancing themselves from statements he's making.
"There has to be a point in which you say: 'This is not somebody I can support for president of the United States, even if he purports to be a member of my party.'"
We are confused in PDP – Kashamu
The Senator representing Ogun East in the Senate, Buruji Kashamu, has advised leadership of the party to stop the scheduled August 17 national convention of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
According to him, the convention will do more harm than good to the former ruling party, which is still struggling to gain its ground.
Kashamu, who stated this in a position paper he submitted to the two factions fighting for control of the party on Tuesday, admitted that there is confusion in PDP.
A faction of the party is being led by Sen. Ali Modu Sheriff, while Sen. Ahmed Makarfi is the chairman of the party's national caretaker committee.
Warning that the different court orders and judgments which have yet to be vacated might end up nullifying the outcome of the convention, he said, "Going to Port Harcourt for another national convention on August 17, without addressing the issues that have stuck out like a sore thumb might turn out to be an exercise in futility.
"I appeal to all our leaders to wade into the crisis and resolve the issues.
"If we gloss over the issues and facts and go ahead to hold the proposed convention without resolving them, the perception of PDP as a lawless organisation will sink deeper and ultimately public opinion will be against us.
"An air of confusion pervades our party and the land, with one division of the court saying Makarfi's appointment is right while another division of the same court says Sheriff is the authentic national chairman of our party.
"We cannot continue like this. Already, the nomination (governorship) processes in Edo and Ondo States are being endangered by the current crisis.
"It is incumbent on all well-meaning leaders and elders of the party to call Senators Sheriff and Makarfi and look for a political solution to this crisis and resolve it, once and for all. Nothing is too much to give, if we truly love the party."
No more space in mortuaries, nobody will vote for you in 2019 – Fr. Mbaka bombs Buhari
Fiery Enugu cleric, the Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka has come out hard on President Muhammadu Buhari accusing him of inflicting pains, suffering, and massive deaths on Nigerians.
It would be recalled that Mbaka, the director Adoration Ministry Enugu, Nigeria, AMEN, had before the 2015 general election predicted that former President Jonathan would be roundly defeated in the polls.
He had in the message entitled "From Goodluck to Badluck", accused Jonathan of running the economy aground.
Soon after Buhari was sworn-in as President, Mbaka visited him at the Presidential villa where they met behind closed doors. He had also in another message while President Buhari was away on medical trip, stated that some persons were blocking him from having access to the President.
However, in one of his latest messages released to his congregation, the Roman Catholic priest maintained that with the way things were going, Buhari would be rejected by Nigerians in 2019.
He slammed the President for occupying himself with trivial issues like the emergency of Bukola Saraki and Ike Ekweremadu as the Senate President and the Deputy respectively, while the country was on fire.
The full message below:
"The issue is that Mbaka is speaking as the Spirit leads him; there is hunger everywhere; my job is to tell leaders the truth, the landlords are crying, the tenants are lamenting, sellers are crying, buyers are lamenting; there is hunger on the streets (onye obuna na ajazi eze) people are talking harshly, there is a channel called Aljazera, (ndi an aja-eze), many students are being rusticated out of school because they cannot pay school fees; the fees are being hiked. Proprietors are distressed, many companies are winding up; the economy is relaxed, Nigeria is being attacked ferociously and you are the citizens as well as the members of the church.
"So, when you are being attacked, the church is being attacked, that's why I can't keep quiet when things are going wrong. I am telling the President to look around him and know those who are advising him rightly and those who are telling him that there is no trouble; the President should know that there is trouble; if things continue like this, in the next election, nobody will vote for him.
"Whether they like it or not, I am giving the raw truth; if the President should have somebody like me and he cannot be talking with me, then there is a problem; there is a problem somewhere; somebody who can advise you without asking for anything and he is representing the poor masses in the country and he won't tell you lies; he will praise you when you are doing well and when you are not doing well, he will look at you in the face and tell you.
"I don't need the President; I need God, I need the Holy Spirit, I need Jesus; there is suffering everywhere, people are suffering. To feed is now a problem, and a hungry man is an angry man. Hunger and anger will lead to danger.
"So, let him know whether he can do away with some advisers around him and bring in the people who are experts in economic revamp; there are people who are experts in that; let them begin to empower people, people are not empowered, they are still walking around in vicious circles, planning and planning and planning. Go to mortuaries, go to mortuaries, there are no spaces. I repeat, myself went to Annunciation Hospital the other time to see my brother, coming in, there was no space, the whole mortuary was filled up and they told me it is the same thing in the Eastern Medical Centre and that if I go to UNTH, there is no space, the death rate is high.
"People are living in hope and in hope; the adorers are hoping that things will be well; I'm calming the situation, when you tell somebody same thing everyday, when will things be well, when the person is in the grave? Hunger everywhere, many neighbours don't eat again, many are being attacked by hunger, hunger is becoming a normal thing and there are people responsible for this; mortuary and ambulance business is now the thriving it; many cannot afford drugs; they can't pay and many are using it to rob the poor by opening satanic centres to dupe the poor and they will be giving people fake prophecies, many terrible things are happening in these centres in the name of churches; these are robbers; people will tell you lies to take money from you. These are robbers, these are hooligans who are at work in today's Nigeria, many are becoming hawkers, who will buy from you, with what? Even those selling palm oil are adulterating it, even rice, wahala, even tomatoes, because of the price, people put preservatives and sell poison to people, I don't know whether some people now embalm tomatoes, what is happening? Things are hard, even to change clothes, everyday more pipes are being blown, the Avengers are at work and up till now, there is no solution. You know when certain things begin to happen, you begin to ask some questions, somebody like me will begin to ask – when will this end (nke a kabu ututu), this is still good morning of it.
"If it continues the next three months, there will be no money to pay salaries; the vicious effect is disastrous and when salaries cannot be paid, teachers will come home, students will stop going to school, there will be more kidnapping, more hooliganism, more armed robbery, more prostitution, immorality will be on the hike, so, the President should sit up, there is a red light blinking on the country, the issue of Saraki and Ekweremadu, nobody wants to listen to such stories any more, whether Saraki is the President of the Senate or Ekweremadu is not this or that, the countrymen are tired of such stories.
"We need economic experts, gurus, sages that are sincere, who can come in and think about our economic revamp and judicial reformation. How can a case be in court for more than 10 years? Even if you prosecute all the senators, the matter may linger till the next 20 years; so what purpose have you achieved? All these noise, EFCC arrested this and that, after one week, that one is over; people are dying of hunger; dollar is growing everyday and Naira is falling; Euro is rising everyday and Naira is collapsing everyday; pound is on the hike everyday, on a mega level and Naira is dwindling on a higher level, before you know it, people will begin to lose hope and it will affect their faith in God, because they will begin to lose faith and ask God where are you? That is where it affects me because it affects the faith of the people. The Bible says if the foundation is destroyed, what can the just do? The Bible says the just man shall live by faith, that is my simple logic, when shall this end?
"These Avengers phenomenon, I did something that if the leaders of today are wise, the problem could have been averted. By the gift of the Holy Spirit, His sagacity, I was proactive; that time they have not started bombing; I made a lot of effort; I won't tell you what I spent so that the President will not suffer what he is about to suffer. Like I told you, this is just the good morning of it, very soon, people who are quiet will begin to talk, when somebody like me will bring my cheque and all the money I have in my account will finish in school fees, hospital bills, is it were well with these peole will they be coming to me. I am receiving the pain and shock drastically.
"The quantum of charity we are doing in the ministry is telling the level of poverty that is in the atmosphere. To eat is now a problem, people no longer say give us these days our daily bread but give us this day our daily bread, man must eat to survive, people are not even talking about jobs any more, graduates are everywhere, those who are making now are those who are selling dollars."

Dawn Wells, best known for her role as Mary Ann on Gilligan's Island, celebrated her 69th birthday in style behind bars. The former 60's star was busted for being caught with marijuana in her car.
Wells is now serving six months' unsupervised probation for the crime. She was sentenced Feb. 29 to five days in jail, fined $410.50 and placed on probation after pleading guilty to one count of reckless driving.FOX
What is this world coming to when a 69 year old former C-list celebrity can't get down with a joint on her 69th birthday in Idaho? And what the hell is the deal with 5 days in jail? Paris, Nicole, and Lindsay served a combined 3 days for being piss drunk behind the wheel of a car. I think Hollywood needs to get tough on drugs just like Idaho!

Thank you for visiting Elsie's Corner! I am so happy to be sharing this blog with my co-creator, partner, and "little cousin" Anthony. My collaboration with Anthony started when he was just a 9 year old tyke who couldn't seem to get a basketball out of his hand. At that time, I arranged for (my then friend…now wonderful husband, to give him) some private basketball instruction. Holiday gatherings after that were spent keeping up with Anthony's many successes on the basketball court. That is, until he became a teacher (like myself), and our discussions began to include successes in the classroom.
When I think about my career as a teacher, I can't help but to recall my first education class in college. Upon entering the room, the professor uttered, "An essential prerequisite to a career in education is an inborn need to be creative." Without a moment's hesitation, I thought "Sign me up….major declared!"
I love what I do, and can't think of a better way to spend 10 months a year (yes, who can deny the beauty of summer vacation?!) than as a classroom teacher!
I began my career (in 1995, yikes!!) as a middle school English teacher, and transitioned over to elementary school in 2005. For the past 20 years, I have seen political agendas, statewide standards, and educational fads come and go. But, throughout it all, my teaching mantra has remained the same… "Combine academic rigor, with some major creativity, and a tad of entertaining antics, and you have a winning combination!"
And while on the topic of "entertaining antics"… I have two beautiful daughters who I love spending time with, along with my amazing lifelong friend/basketball coach/firefighter husband.
Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns at email@example.com!

FAMILY and friends have paid heartfelt tributes to a young family killed in a horrific road smash which saw their car collide with a lorry.
Graham Lockhart, 23, and Shauna Robb, 20, died in the crash along with their two children, Tyler David, two, and 11-month-old Arianna Rose Sheryl.
Police are still investigating the fatal collision on the A801 near to the Lathallan roundabout on Wednesday at 2.20pm.
Officers said the black Fiat hatchback which the family – from Bathgate – was travelling in crossed into the path of oncoming traffic before it crashed into the articulated lorry.
The lorry driver was unhurt but was treated for shock.
It is believed the family had been heading home after a day out together.
Relatives of the couple released statements through police saying they had been left "devastated".
Tributes flooded in from across West Lothian as word spread.
The young parents were both former pupils of Linlithgow Academy, and Mr Lockhart was a loft technician at Livingston firm Home Energy UK.
Mr Lockhart's older sister, Sheryl Jones, was among the first to speak of her loss on Facebook.
She said: "To have you ripped away from us is hard enough, but to have all four of you torn away is just crushing.
"Never felt such pain. I love the four of you with all my heart, my only comfort is that you are all together.
"Wish you would all just walk through the door and this to be a horrible nightmare.
"You'll never understand how much we all loved you four."
And friend James Nicol described Mr Lockhart, a Rangers fan, as a "gem of a guy" whom he had been speaking to just a day before the horrific crash.
Devastated friend David Chant revealed that the family had dropped him off just minutes before the crash. He went to the scene yesterday to lay flowers and teddies for the two children.
In a poignant tribute, he said: "You're always going to be missed bro. You, Shauna and the kids sleep tight."
And friend Adam Sampson said: "I can't believe a beautiful young family has been taken, may God rest you in his peace.
"This is devastating news my friend. I'm in terrible pain over this, thanks for the encouragement and the positivity you fed into my life and care you showed for me and my family."
Schoolfriends of Ms Robb shared memories of their time at high school in Linlithgow.
Toni Dempster described the young mum as an "amazing" mother to "gorgeous" Tyler and Arianna.
She added: "I will never forget our memories together and some of the mad stuff we got up to.
"So tragic that it takes something like this to happen to make you realise you should never take life for granted and every minute is precious."
Fiona West said she had fond memories of the "good times" at school, where they would skip gym classes to sing Katy Perry songs.
As the community mourns, West Lothian Council leader John McGinty said the local authority would provide as much support as possible to the family's loved ones.
He said: "To lose a young family in this way is truly tragic.
"On behalf of the whole community, we would like to offer our deepest sympathies to their families and friends on their heartbreaking loss.
"West Lothian Council stands ready to offer help to support the families and their communities through this extremely sad time."
The A801 links the M8 and M9 and has been the scene of numerous accidents. Linlithgow and East Falkirk MP Michael Connarty has previously spoken out in parliament about the need for money to be spent making the road safer.
Anyone with information about the crash should contact Police Scotland on 101 or the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

May was another fabulous month. My younger brother finally proposed to his sweetheart of 6+ years. (She said yes. :) ) And Carnal Secrets received the loveliest dual review from Stella and Lea at Book Lovers Inc. There's also an author interview plus a giveaway for Carnal Secrets on Book Lovers Inc, open to international readers, so if you'd like, enter before June 11th!
I'm going to be much more MIA during June. The Boy is due June 13…though he can come out any time between now until June 21-ish. I thought I was ready, but it looks like I still have so many things to do (mostly appointments and last minute shopping for baby things, etc.) before the Boy gets here. Soooooo busy!
A few people on Twitter and Facebook asked me to keep them updated on the labor, etc. I'll see what I can do. Maybe Hero Material can hijack my Twitter account briefly? Hmmm. (Unfortunately, he doesn't really get social media…)
Later this year, I'll start doing some giveaways to thank and support fellow writers who have been super nice and helpful to me. So what books are up for grabs?
July: a copy of Confessions of an Improper Bride by Jennifer Haymore. It's a fabulous historical romance, and Jennifer was instrumental in helping me publish Carnal Secrets. Without her, the story would still be languishing on my hard drive.
October: a copy of The Shadow Reader by Sandy Williams, an exciting urban fantasy debut by a fellow Magic and Mayhem Writers member.
November: a copy of Shaedes of Gray by Amanda Bonilla, another super urban fantasy debut by a Magic and Mayhem Writers member.
All giveaways are open to international readers, and books will be shipped by BookDepository regardless of your location. (Just to be clear, you're getting an unautographed final book, not an ARC or early copy.) If I can, I'll try to give ebooks to those who prefer e-copies, but I can't guarantee anything because it depends on geo res, DRM, your ereader, etc.
If you want to enter early, just subscribe to my newsletter. All confirmed subscribers get two entries automatically. (And I'll never share your information with anybody else, and you can unsubscribe any time.)
Later, I'll announce other ways to earn extra entries, such as tweets with special hashtags and so on.
P.S. I'm going to give away several copies of my own new urban fantasy, The Last Slayer, as well, either in late September or early October. And again, you get two automatic entries just for subscribing to my newsletter. :)

This volume of essays sharply questions current knowledge and ideas about sexuality, social theory, and public policy research on sexuality. The contributors, internationally recognized scholars and activists from Australia, examine the dominant research models from the United States and Western Europe and propose a new perspective, one sensitive to the social construction of sexuality and its research and to variation in sexual practices across cultures. Addressing the debates over sexual conduct from contraception to AIDS prevention, "Rethinking Sex" provides a systematic examination of the social dimensions of sexuality. Social theory, public policy analysis, and historical and survey research are applied to issues ranging from AIDS and gay identity to perceptions of women's sexuality and relations between the state and private sexual behavior. It includes an author note: R. W. Connell is presently a visiting professor at the University of California, Santa Cruz. The author or co-author of eleven other books, he was 1991-1992 Professor of Australian Studies at Harvard University. He has been Professor of Sociology at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia, since 1976. G. W. Dowsett is Research fellow in Sociology in the School of Behavioural Sciences at Macquarie University. He currently works as Assistant Head of the AIDS Research Unit at Macquarie University, part of the National Centre for HIV Social Research, and is a former Vice-President of the AIDS Council of New South Wales.
