''The last notable Christian-Christian ticket was Awolowo-Umeadi in 1979 and the last notable Muslim-Muslim ticket was Abiola-Kingibe in 1993. You can figure out the rest. But let the optimists know that reality always trounces wishful hope in political contests. Chief Femi Fani-Kayode's advice that we get real must be directed where it truly belongs – to the leadership of the APC''- Chief Kayode Samuel, Facebook, 29th March 2014.
I thank my brother Kayode Samuel for his contribution and I shall take his advice and direct my counsel to the leadership of the APC and to the Nigerian people in general. That is the purpose of this essay and so important is the subject matter under consideration that I would urge as many as possible to find the time to read it from the beginning to the end.
Chief Akin Osuntokun, the Bashorun of Oke-Mesi, the former Special Advisor to President Olusegun Obasanjo and the highly celebrated columnist for Thisday Newspaper is one of my closest brothers and friends even though we tend to disagree on virtually everything. He is a very complex and interesting person who has a penchant for speaking the bitter truth. He is blunt to a fault and brutally frank and he manages to give as good as he gets in any argument.
I respect him immensely for a number of reasons, one of them being his unquestionable loyalty to his friends regardless of their circumstances, political views and party affiliation. Simply put, he is capable of mainitaining a good relationship even with those that he disagrees with politically. I say this because most of Akin's friends like Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, Alhaji Kashim Imam, Mallam Uba Sani, yours truly and a host of others have left the PDP yet we still meet virtually every other night as a group and slug out politics and current issues.
Even though Akin is invariably the lone voice in a hostile sea at such meetings, he always holds his own and stands his ground in a most admirable and spirited manner even when things get rather heated up. His loyalty to and support for President Goodluck Jonathan and his administration is second to none and I have often wondered how difficult things would have been for us if Akin and his likes were the ones speaking for this government. He is an intellectual par excellence and one of the most under-utilized assets that the PDP has in their armoury. Yet I often marvel about how well he stomachs the attacks and intellectual riposts that he suffers from those of us that are no longer in his political party but that have the rare privilege of still being in the inner circle of his friends.
That is what makes Akin special. That, together with the fact that more than any other person that I know, he can tell his friends the bitter truth about themselves and point out their mistakes. You can count on him for that. And the strangest and most uncanny thing is that nine times out of ten he has been proved right.
Today I shall take a cue from my brother Akin and tell a few bitter home truths to my own friends and political associates in the APC. Whether this will break or enhance our friendship and association remains to be seen. I hope that it does not have any negative consequences for our relationship but if it does I have absolutely no regrets. After all the greatest gift and virtue that a true friend and brother can offer is truth and wise counsel. That is what real friends are supposed to do even when that truth and counsel is unpleasant and painful to hear.
The subject of my counsel is the suggestion by some that our party the APC should consider fielding a muslim/muslim ticket in the 2015 Presidential election. Even though the party leadership itself has not expressed such an intention and even though the matter still remains in the realms of speculation, as someone recently pointed out, I can confirm to you that quite a number of people within the party are discussing it privately and are actually considering it. As a matter of fact some are openly advocating and canvassing the idea. Whether we like to admit it or not this is the subject of heated discussions in many party circles today with some party leaders being for it whilst others are against it.
Consequently the party would do well to issue a statement on the matter and tell us whether they are in a position to rule out such a course of action or not. If they refuse to do so the speculations will simply continue and, like an insidious cancer, the matter will eat away at the very soul of the party and eventually squander it's fortunes. It is in order to avoid this and for that very reason that I deem it fit, wise and appropriate to make my views on the matter known to the world, regardless of what the consequences of doing so may be for me. The outcome of this exercise and the reaction to my counsel will determine whether I am indeed in the right political party or not.
Let me start by stating loudly and clearly that I have nothing against muslims. As a matter of fact I am very proud of the fact that I have both muslims and christians in my family. So strong is the muslim influence in my extended family from my mother's side that I, together with all my siblings have at least one muslim name. Mine is Abdul Latif, which I am told in Arabic means "servant of the All Gentle", and I am very proud of it. This is a name which my friend and brother Dr. Hakeem Baba Ahmed, in an attempt to crack a joke about me and my "one eighth" Fulani bloodline, mischevously reduced to "Boda Lati" in one of his celebrated articles and I am still trying to find it in my heart to forgive him for that.
I also have many friends from both the south west and the north who are muslims and who can testify to the fact that I have nothing against islam. I am talking about people like my dear brother Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, our current Minister of State for Defence, who I not only grew up with in Lagos but who I also cut my political teeth with in 1990 when we both joined the defunct NRC and people like Governor Tanko Al Makura of Nassarawa state who formed and led the youth wing of the defunct NNC with me in 1989.
The reason that I have gone to great lengths to point out my strong links and family ties with the islamic faith is simply to prove that I have nothing against muslims and that the great faith of islam is part and parcel of my proud and noble heritage.
Yet despite my deep respect for and affinity with islam and in spite of my fondness for all those that have espoused that ancient and noble Abrahamic and monotheic faith, I would be the first to say that it would be most improper and politically inexpedient for anyone to suggest the idea that any political party in Nigeria today should present a muslim/muslim ticket in next years Presidential election.
I have said it privately in countless political meetings and I will say it publiclly today. Please mark it- the biggest mistake that my party, the APC, can make is to field a muslim/muslim ticket in the 2015 Presidential election. If we do that we will not only offend the christian community but we will also loose the election woefully. This is not 1993 and whether we like it or not we must accept the fact that religion plays a major role in our politics today. This is not the ideal but it is the reality that we have to accept and live with.
Our party must have both a christian and a muslim on the ticket if we want to be taken seriously in the Presidential election. I implore those that think otherwise to sit down and think this through properly. We must not present a christian/christian ticket as this would be insensitive to the feelings of muslims and we must not present a muslim/muslim ticket as this would be insensitive to the feelings of christians. I for one would NEVER support a ticket that presents two members of the same faith no matter what the consequences would be.
This country belongs to both muslims and christians- we are all one and we must ensure that we do not hurt the feelings or the sensitivities of one another either advertantly or inadevertantly. As they say "the road to hell is paved with good intentions". Let us be mindful of our actions, deeds and words, no matter how well-intentioned they may be, and let us ensure that we do not confirm the terrible stereotyping that those that are against us are trying to label us with.
Unlike some who only joined the political fray a few years ago, I have been in politics in this country for a total of 24 long years and during that period of time I have learnt a thing or two. The first lesson that I have learnt and which must be appreciated is the ability to distinguish between an ideal and reality. It is laudable to pursue an ideal and we must do all that we possibly can to enthrone it but it is disasterous to ignore the realities on the ground no matter how unsavoury or distasteful that reality may be.
The ideal, which we all desire and which we all seek to enthrone, is to play the type of politics in our country which has no recourse to religion and where a man or woman's faith is entirely their own affair. Yet the reality is that to ignore the religious sensitivities and differences of the Nigerian electorate is a manifestation of, at the very best, political naivety of the highest order and, at the very worst, dangerous, self-depreciating and self-destructive ignorance. Simply put, religion SHOULD NOT be a factor in our politics but in reality it IS a factor.
To those who say that the APC will produce a Presidential and Vice Presidential candidate that have ''integrity, capacity and competence'' and that the religious faith of those two candidates does not matter, I have only the following to say. The ''integrity, capacity, competence'' and all those other laudable qualities are virtues that can surely be found in adherents of both the Muslim and the Christian faith.
They are not the exclusive preserve of the adherents of one faith alone. You can find muslims that have these qualities and you can find Christians that have them as well. It therefore makes perfect sense to present one of such people from each of the two major faiths as a Presidential and Vice Presidential candidate respectively.
This is especially so given the fact that Nigeria is a multi-religious, multi-cultural and multi-ethnic country which suffers from severe religious tensions and periodic sectarian violence and which has at least 80 million Christians and muslims on both sides of the divide living side by side. We are already sitting on a keg of gunpowder and to ignore one side of the religious divide and treat them with contempt and disdain may be the trigger that causes that keg to explode.
Presenting a muslim/muslim ticket for the 2015 Presidential election ticket, no matter how cleverly rationalised, defended or justified in the pursuit of an ideal or in the name of ''political correctness'', will be a terrible insult to the 80 million Christians that are part and parcel of this country and it would result in their voting, en masse, for another party. My candid advice to those that are thinking that way and that are moving in that direction is that they should perish the thought and that they should do so very quickly.
As far as I am aware the APC is not an affiliate of Al Qaeda and neither is it a Boko Haram party, a Janjaweed party or a Muslim Brotherhood Party. I have had cause to say so and to defend the intellectual integrity and what I consider to be the multi-religious and secular ethos and composition of the party on numerous occasions. And of course it is a pleasure, a duty and a privilege for me to do so simply because that is what I honestly believe and because I happen to be a secularist myself. Like millions of others from all over the world I believe that religion ought to have no place in the running of the affairs of any country.
However that does not mean that we ought to ignore the very delicate religious balance that we have in Nigeria or that we should play havoc with it. To do so would be disasterous for the fortunes of the party and for the future of our nation. As a matter of fact we would be opening the gates of hell and we would be courting catastrophy. Anyone that doubts that should consider the ugly events that are unfolding in the Central African Republic today or that took place in the Sudan before the country broke into two. We must never allow such things to happen in Nigeria by any act of commission or omission.
As far as I am aware the APC is a party for both muslims and christians. It is a vehicle for change and not one that seeks to give the impression that Christians don't matter or that they are second class citizens. If I am wrong then those that claim to know better or that believe that they own the party should please tell me. If it is a party where faith and religion has no place, as some would have us believe, then they should please let us know. We have an image problem which we need to deal with.
Permit me to share just one example of the factors that have sustained that image problem. We have a leading member of the party from Borno state that has been consistently accused of being the sole founder and originator of Boko Haram.
In fairness to the individual concerned the allegations about his personal involvement in these ugly events remain unproven yet all the same they remain serious and grave and they cannot be ignored for much longer. He must provide direct answers to these serious allegations so that, if they are all false, we can make it our business and duty to defend him. Until then, being in a political party that harbours and attracts the sympathy and support of such a person puts some of us in a very awkward position.
If such things do not make some people uncomfortable they certainly make me very uncomfortable. This is especially so given the atrocities that Boko Haram has perpetuated against both christians and muslims in our country in the last three years. Whether we like it or not we must go out of our way to try to let the world know that we are not a party of muslim fundamentalists and closet islamists and if we choose not to bother to do so it simply means that we are arrogant and that we have lost touch with reality.

The game is titled The Dragon Sword everywhere but the title screen. |
So far, we've seen a lot of descendants of Wizardry--including The Bard's Tale and Might and Magic--but few direct clones. That changes with Dragon Sword, a game that copies Wizardry so directly that the manual suggests that if you've already played Wizardry, you don't need to read the manual.
Dragon Sword has you exploring a wireframe world with a party of up to 6 adventurers, each drawn from Wizardry's races (human, dwarf, elf, half-elf, hobbit, gnome) and featuring Wizardry's six attributes (strength, intelligence, wisdom, dexterity, constitution, and luck). The classes aren't exactly the same, with barbarians and monks added to the Wizardry-derived (and ultimately, of course, D&D-derived) fighters, thieves, clerics, and magic users.
Creating a character. |
Navigation, equipment, experience, training, economy, and combat are very similar to Wizardry, but we have a few variances. Spells deplete a pool of spell points rather than fixed slots. The spells themselves are mostly different (more on that in a minute). There's no "menu town" at the top of the dungeon, but rather a fully explorable 21 x 21 map.
Dragon Sword also allows you to save anywhere (although with only one slot) and eliminates permadeath. A player who suffers a misfortune can simply quit and reload.
Exploring the town of Bralka with my party of 6. Icons indicate that I have "Compass," "Find Secret Doors," and "Light" active. A summoned familiar--an owl--leads the party. |
The back story is told quickly and with no fanfare. The city of Bralka used to be a peaceful, prosperous place. Then, at some point, the dragon Oijngate (no idea on the name) came along and conquered the city and now everyone's miserable. The party has been charged with seeking the Dragon Sword to defeat Oijngate.
Some text on the wall drives the story home. |
The game begins in Bralka, which holds several shops, temples, banks, a guild, and a training hall. In the southwest corner, stairs ascend to the dungeon levels. Shops sell the usual selection of weapons and armor (leather, chainmail, maces, longswords, etc.) and you don't have much gold at the outset.
The shop has some nice-sounding options for when I'm richer. |
The game allows you the option of just walking out the front gates and ending things immediately, though it's a bit of a downer ending.
There are a ton of random encounters as you explore, some with laughably easy foes (e.g., 1 fighter) and some with absurdly difficult parties (e.g., 6 bugbears, 4 warriors, and 3 goblins). You can "Run" from most fights but not all of them, and running carries a risk of the enemy getting a free round of attacks. Combat is the same as in Wizardry: only the three front characters can execute melee attacks, and each character decides on an attack for the next round before watching them all execute at once.
Planning my attacks against a party of enemies. |
The manual indicates that the game features a staggering 30 dungeon levels, all (like Bralka) 21 x 21. The manual also says that every square is used, but there were a few I couldn't access in Bralka. Perhaps there are stairs down from other levels, or perhaps I need to wait for the "Teleport" spell. There's also a 5 x 5 area I can't access behind a locked gate, and I wonder if this is Oijngate's throne room and thus the site of the endgame.
The starting town. |
Inns are notably absent from the list of services. There is no place where you can rest and restore hit points. This put me in a bind as I explored the city, and late in the session, I was reloading frequently as my hit-point and spell-point-deficient party found it difficult to fend off even easy foes. Eventually, I discovered that if you stand in a fountain near the guild, all your spell points get recharged, which you can then use to cast "Mend" spells to restore hit points.
I explored a little of the first dungeon level, long enough to see that it had its own name ("Perion's Place") and to get a message of terror from what must be the big boss there. From the encounters, it was soon clear that I was there too soon and needed to build my characters to higher levels (and better equipment) on the ground first.
An early-level encounter. |
Fortunately, if I just stand by the fountain and spin in place, I can fight all the battles I want and immediately heal afterwards.
I'm getting there. |
There are two ways in which Dragon Sword transcends its Wizardry heritage. The first has to do with a number of puzzles scattered about the town. On the town level, a voice in a dark and moldy tomb is looking for a word from "Galt's Domain." In another square, a jester begs me to "answer tried and true" with some sort of password; and in a third, I'm asked for a word of passage by a mysterious voice. My understanding is that I need to find these answers in the dungeon levels, and the manual suggests that the dungeon levels themselves have similar puzzles as well as numerous navigation puzzles.
The second way is in the selection of spells, some of which are drawn from Wizardry (e.g., "Compass," "Light," "Locate"), some of which are drawn from D&D (e.g., "Stinking Cloud," "Friends," "Wish"), and some of which are original to the game. The manual tells you nothing about them; you're left to experiment based on their names. Some interesting sounding ones include "Holy Water," "Teleport to Stairs," "Open Wall," "Weapon of Silver," "Block of Ice," and "Burning Air." Perhaps the most interesting is "Familiar," a Level 1 mage spell that summons a small creature that you can name. Granted, this isn't a lot different from the summoning spells of The Bard's Tale, but I think it's the first time we've encountered a "familiar" in a CRPG.
This hawk turned out to be quite good in combat. |
Dragon Sword is a shareware title, writen by two friends and roommates at North Central College in Naperville, Illinois: Tim Musa and Brian Tieman. It was published (like Fallthru) by PC-SIG, the California shareware magazine. The manual says that the pair was planning a "256-color sequel," but I can't find any evidence that this ever came out. I've written to Mr. Musa to see if he wants to discuss the game.
I don't know, though: this one might defeat me. Unless the levels are really interesting, it's hard to imagine plowing through 30 of them in my quest for the Dragon Sword. (And there are no walkthroughs online to help me cut corners.) I'll map at least a couple of them and report back. Thusfar, it's one of the better shareware titles I've experienced, at least if you can get past the graphics. If Mr. Musa responds, I'll be happy to send him the $15 license fee.
In list news, I'm toying with dropping Crystals of Arborea. I've checked it out, and it lacks the "inventory" element of my three core criteria for an RPG, though I admit that if it's not an RPG, I'm not entirely sure what it is. I gave it about an hour the other day and didn't like it at all, but I'll hear impassioned pleas to preserve it if anyone has them.

Waiting on Wednesday (175)
Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Breaking the Spine that spotlights an upcoming release we are greatly anticipating.
Our pick this week:
Into the Still Blue - Under the Never Sky #3
by Veronica Rossi
Publication Date: January 28th, 2014
The earth-shattering conclusion to Veronica Rossi's "masterpiece" Under the Never Sky trilogy and sequel to the New York Times bestselling Through the Ever Night (Examiner.com).
Their love and their leadership have been tested. Now it's time for Perry and Aria to unite the Dwellers and the Outsiders in one last desperate attempt to bring balance to their world.
The race to the Still Blue has reached a stalemate. Aria and Perry are determined to find this last safe-haven from the Aether storms before Sable and Hess do-and they are just as determined to stay together.
Meanwhile, time is running out to rescue Cinder, who was abducted by Hess and Sable for his unique abilities. And when Roar returns to camp, he is so furious with Perry that he won't even look at him, and Perry begins to feel like they have already lost.
Out of options, Perry and Aria assemble a team to mount an impossible rescue mission-because Cinder isn't just the key to unlocking the Still Blue and their only hope for survival, he's also their friend. And in a dying world, the bonds between people are what matter most.
In this final book in her stunning Under the Never Sky trilogy, Veronica Rossi raises the stakes to their absolute limit and brings her epic love story to an unforgettable close.

Phillips: I Aborted My Dad's Possible Love Child
Mackenzie Phillips went public with an incestuous relationship with her father today on "Oprah" -- and says the reason the affair finally ended was because she became pregnant ... and didn't know if her father was the father.
Phillips claims she was raped by her dad, Mamas & the Papas singer John Phillips, while she was 19 -- and the relationship continued for 10 years. The "One Day at a Time" actress says she later became pregnant -- but wasn't sure if John or her then-husband Shane Fontayne was the baby-daddy.
According to Phillips, her father paid for the abortion -- and then she "never let him touch me again."

Minutes of the 2003 Rousseau Association Business Meeting
St. Hugh's College, Oxford, June 28, 2003
The meeting, held at the end of the Association's Thirteenth Biennial Colloquium, was attended by John T. Scott, President of the Rousseau Association; Byron Wells, Vice President; Laurence Cooper, Secretary-Treasurer; Ourida Mostefai, Director of Publications; and approximately fifteen non-officers.
The minutes of the 2001 Business Meeting were approved.
Laurence Cooper gave the Secretary-Treasurer's report. Regarding membership: The Association lists 87 members who have paid dues in the last year, and another 38 who have paid dues two years ago but not in the last year. Regarding finances: As of April 30, i.e. immediately prior to our receipt of colloquium fees and to our mailing the 2003 dues solicitation, the Association's assets totaled $4,471.15. None of this money will be needed to cover costs from the Oxford colloquium.
Chris Bertram proposed that the Association collect members' dues electronically, perhaps through Paypal. Discussion ensued. Laurence Cooper agreed to investigate the possibilities and to move toward implementing this reform.
John Scott reported on the pending publication of the papers presented at the 2001 Montreal colloquium in a volume edited by Claude Dauphin. Hoping to gain a larger readership than past volumes, the Association has arranged to have the Montreal papers published as a volume in the Studies in Voltaire and the Eighteenth Century series (SVEC). Only minor editorial work remains to be done, though no publication date has yet been set. Discussions are underway regarding the best way to make the forthcoming volume available to Association members. The Association plans to purchase volumes at a reduced rate and distribute them to members. (Members will need to have paid dues the preceding two years (i.e. 2003-2004) in order to receive copies as part of their membership dues.) The cost of the volume will depend on the number of hours of editorial and production work. Regarding the prospect of publishing future volumes as part of the SVEC series, it was noted that there are both advantages and disadvantages to this course. The chief advantages are the wider dissemination of members' work, gains in quality of scholarship, and greater ease of distribution. Among the possible disadvantages are that SVEC's outside readers will be able to reject papers and that SVEC's editors may wish to request contributions to the volumes by contributors who have not participated in the Association's colloquia. The sense of the officers and members present was that the benefits outweigh the potential disadvantages.
Discussion was held regarding the publication of the volume of papers from the Oxford colloquium:
- As was the case with the Montreal volume, participation in the colloquium will not guarantee publication of one's paper in the resulting volume. For this reason the organizers of the colloquium accepted only very good paper proposals, ones they thought would be likely to be accepted for publication.
- Those whose papers will be published will receive specific instructions regarding format, etc.
- Regarding the length of the volume and of the papers: longer papers will now be permitted, indeed, encouraged or required.
- Officers and members expressed general satisfaction with these new arrangements. Technical questions were asked and answered.
- Christopher Kelly led the membership in thanking John Scott and Ourida Mostefai for their years of hard and successful work on these new publication arrangements.
Officers were elected for two-year terms: John Scott, President; Byron Wells, Vice President; Laurence Cooper, Secretary-Treasurer; John O'Neal, Program Chair; and Ourida Mostefai, Director of Publications.
Regarding other publications:
- The Bulletin which the Association formerly published became very expensive to produce and required much work. There is some interest in starting an electronic journal.
- A new URL for the Association's website would be desirable. (Currently the site is hosted by Wabash College.) This would require a new domain name and a new host server. Members were asked for assistance in this area. Ourida Mostefai volunteered to update the website. Zev Trachtenberg volunteered to attain a new domain name and account/server.
- The officers will investigate a joint electronic project with the Voltaire Foundation.
Arrangements were made for the 2005 colloquium: John O'Neal volunteered to coordinate the colloquium, to be held at Hamilton College in Clinton, New York. The subject of the colloquium will be the Rêveries du promeneur solitaire/Reveries of the Solitary Walker. Details will be posted on the website. Alexandra Cook volunteered to organize some botanical activities and asked for assistance from others.
Discussion was begun regarding the 2007 colloquium. Michael O'Dea agreed to coordinate the meeting (with others) in Lyon, France. A possible topic is "Rousseau et les philosophes."

Memorial Day marks the unofficial start of summer, and Americans will kick off the season by traveling in near-record numbers. According to AAA, more than 41.5 million Americans will travel this Memorial Day weekend, nearly 5 percent more than last year and the most in more than a dozen years.
"The highest gas prices since 2014 won't keep travelers home this Memorial Day weekend," said Bill Sutherland, senior vice president, AAA Travel and Publishing. "A strong economy and growing consumer confidence are giving Americans all the motivation they need to kick off what we expect to be a busy summer travel season with a Memorial Day getaway."
By the numbers: 2018 Memorial Day holiday travel forecast
- Automobiles: The vast majority of travelers – 36.6 million – will hit the road this Memorial Day, 4.7 percent more than last year.
- Planes: 3.1 million people will travel by air, a 6.8 percent increase and the fifth year of consecutive air travel volume increases.
- Trains, Buses and Cruise Ships: Travel across these sectors will increase by 2.4 percent to 1.8 million passengers.
Top Memorial Day travel destinations
Orlando again tops this year's list of the most-visited Memorial Day destinations in the U.S., based on AAA advance travel bookings. Cruises to Alaska, originating in Seattle and Anchorage, as well as warm-weather destinations in Hawaii, Las Vegas, Phoenix and Southern California are also among the top traveler destinations.
- Orlando, Florida
- Seattle, Washington
- Honolulu, Hawaii
- Las Vegas, Nevada
- Anchorage, Alaska
- Phoenix, Arizona
- Anaheim, California
- Boston, Massachusetts
- Denver, Colorado
- New York, New York
For those planning to kick off their summers with an overseas vacation, Europe is a major draw this year. Rome, Dublin and London are the most popular international travel destinations for Memorial Day weekend.
According to Hertz, a 40-year AAA partner, the busiest airport pick-up locations for travelers renting a car this Memorial Day are expected to be Orlando (MCO), Las Vegas (LAS), Atlanta (ATL), Los Angeles (LAX) and Kahului, HI (OGG). The busiest day for rental pick-ups is expected to be May 25, with an average rental length of nearly six days, as travelers look to take advantage of the long holiday weekend.
Higher gas prices not deterring travelers
The 88 percent of travelers choosing to drive will pay the most expensive Memorial Day gas prices since 2014. Gas prices averaged $2.72 in April, an increase of 33 cents from last year, due to expensive crude oil, record gasoline demand and shrinking global supply. However, these higher prices are not keeping holiday travelers home, with automobile travel expected to increase for the fourth straight year, by nearly 5 percent over last Memorial Day.
Lower hotel, airline and car rental costs make up for higher gas prices
While road trippers will pay higher prices at the gas pump this year, travelers can expect some relief in their wallets when paying for airfare, car rentals and most mid-range hotels. According to AAA's Leisure Travel Index, airfares are 7 percent lower than last Memorial Day, landing at an average price of $168 for a round-trip flight along the top 40 domestic routes. At $59, the average daily cost of a car rental this Memorial Day is the lowest rate in the past four years and 11 percent cheaper than last year.
Travelers will also save on AAA Three Diamond hotels this Memorial Day, which are trending 14 percent less expensive than last year, with an average rate of $186 nightly. Meanwhile, AAA Two Diamond hotels are 7 percent more expensive than last Memorial Day, with an average nightly cost of $151.
AAA to rescue more than 340,000 motorists
AAA expects to rescue more than 340,000 motorists at the roadside this Memorial Day weekend. Dead batteries, lockouts and flat tires will be the leading reasons AAA members will experience car trouble.
Before hitting the road, make sure your vehicle is road-trip ready. Make a good B-E-T to stay on the road this summer by having your Battery tested, looking for Engine coolant leaks and checking Tire condition. Be prepared for emergencies with a mobile phone and car charger, a flashlight with extra batteries, a first-aid kit, a basic toolkit, and drinking water and snacks for all passengers.
Download the AAA Mobile app before Memorial Day road trips
Before heading out on a road trip this Memorial Day, download the free AAA Mobile app for iPhone, iPad and Android. Travelers can use the app to map a route, find the lowest gas prices, access exclusive member discounts, make travel arrangements, request AAA roadside assistance, find AAA Approved Auto Repair facilities and more. Learn more at AAA.com/mobile.
With the AAA Mobile app, travelers can also find nearly 59,000 AAA Diamond Rated hotels and restaurants. AAA's is the only rating system that uses full-time, professionally trained inspectors to evaluate each property on an annual basis. Every AAA Inspected & Approved establishment offers the assurance of acceptable cleanliness, comfort and hospitality, and ratings of One to Five Diamonds help travelers find the right match for amenities and services.
AAA's projections are based on economic forecasting and research by IHS Markit. The London-based business information provider teamed with AAA in 2009 to jointly analyze travel trends during major holidays. AAA has been reporting on holiday travel trends for more than two decades. The complete AAA/IHS Markit 2018 Memorial Day holiday travel forecast is available here

Online reviews have long been the 'bad guy' in salon marketing, with nearly every salon owner I meet reporting at least one tragedy with Yelp or another review site. So how did it become such an important part of the salon marketing mix? Simple -existingand potential clients demanded it.
Traffic to online review sites has doubled over the past couple of years. People are relying on reviews more than ever to help them decide where to take their business. In fact, 72 per cent of consumers trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations, so it is time that we as an industry pay attention to some key review sites.
Google Places
Google is always one of the biggest tools when it comes to being found by new, prospective clients, so it weighs in as a heavy contenderfor online reviews as well. When people search Google for new businesses, Google Places listings appear before even the regular website results. This means if you invest time and effort into sculpting your Google Places listing and continuously encourage clients to post new reviews on the site, you'll be supporting your search engine traffic in the process.
It can be difficult to stay positive about Yelp, but it remains a thriving element of online review management. Yelp wasattracting more than 86 million web visits each month as of the end of 2012, so it is unlikely that this review powerhouse will be going away anytime soon.
Yahoo! Local
Similar to Google Places, Yahoo Local will help your search engine rankings. Even though Yahoo represents just 13.5% of searches performed each month, it's still better than nothing for filling out a free business listing.
Citysearch is one of the older business listing sites turned review engines. The great thing about CitySearch is that it allows its reviews to be listed under Google's reviews and it hosts awards for local businesses, which are always great to boast to your clients if you win.
It might seem strange to have the web's favorite social network on the list, but with the recent announcement of Facebook Graph Search, the network's own search engine based on recommendations and content by friends, Facebook is getting into the review game. Imagine typing 'hair salon in Los Angeles'into the Facebook search bar and seeing all of the comments, pictures and check-ins from your L.A. friends at their local hair salons. It's coming, so it's time to start considering Facebook as part of your review and local search strategy.

Many people associate clean and healthy water with water that has the best taste and smell. This is such a prevalent conception that many water treatment sites will compete in "best tasting water" competitions. However, taste and odor problems are rarely linked to health effects. Water treaters will treat taste and odor to improve customer satisfaction.
Water treaters conduct a threshold odor test and a flavor profile analysis to determine the various types of odors and smells that are present in the water supply. This analysis helps set the path forward to eliminate the foul taste and odor in drinking water.
Off tastes and smells in water originate from algae, bacteria, or pollution. Algae blooms are influenced by local environments from various forms of pollution: waste, both domestic and industrial, and run-off. Algae blooms can exist in relatively clean water, they are microscopic in size and do not normally constitute risks to health.
These blooms present in raw water can then be a major contributor to foul taste and odor in treated water. Furthermore, various compounds derivative of industrial waste can impart foul odor and taste as well.Industrial compounds such as phenols, hydrocarbons may exhibit foul odors as indicated by the threshold odor test at very low concentrations. Additionally, metals such as copper and zinc will yield a foul taste however not be present in the threshold odor test.
The flavor profile analysis will indicate specific tastes and odors that are present in the water supply. These flavors and odors are correlated to specific types of algae or pollution that lead to that result. Understanding the cause helps determine chemical dosing path forward.
Oxidation is one of the most effective methodologies to remove foul tastes and odors. Various types of oxidants, such as potassium permanganate, ozone, hydrogen peroxide, and chlorine dioxide are the most prevalent.
In other cases, chlorine or sodium hypochlorite are used to improve taste. As this chemical is also prevalently used for disinfection, a proper dose of the chemical is critical. To use chlorine for taste and odor control, a higher chlorine dose than what is used for disinfection is required. This process is known as superchlorination.
While this process can help remove grassy or fishy tastes and smells, it can make some odors worse. For example, superchlorination will negatively impact those odors linked to phenols. Once superchlorination takes place, the excess chlorine is typically removed through the use of carbon.
Accurate dosing pumps should be utilized to ensure the proper amount of chlorine is added to prevent residual taste and odor. Dosing accuracy minimizes chemical use and helps optimize the process.
Additionally, certain geographical areas may have hydrogen sulfide in the groundwater which in turn is found in well water. Hydrogen sulfide in the water supply creates a sulfur ("egg-like") water smell. In these cases chemical feed pumps are used to add chemicals to the water system to eliminate the odor.
"Using Milton Roy, a premium brand in the industry, has proven that product quality and performance are one of our important successes of water production to serve our nation. We are glad to have Milton Roy as our valued partner, consistently providing good support throughout the project lifecycle. We look forward to working together on future projects again."

Foodborne sickness can cause certifiable and incredibly dangerous contaminations. Simple to-do, safe food managing practices protect everybody in the family from becoming ill. Never permit food arrangements to thaw out at room temperature, on the counter or in warm water. Thaw out food just in the cooler, in the microwave or in a cool water shower with water that is changed at standard ranges. While thawing out food in the cooler, try to cover unpleasant meat and spot it on the base rack so presses will not spill onto different food collections.
While thawing out food in the microwave, cook it's everything except some time later. Valid hand-washing may get out a huge level of food spoiling cases. Try to wash hands 사설토토 while exchanging undertakings, like managing crude meat and from there on cutting vegetables. Wash hands totally in warm, foamy water for something like 20 seconds.
While you ought to dependably rehearse safe food, two or three visitors may be especially weak against food spoiling, including more pre-arranged grown-ups, pregnant ladies, small kids and individuals with debilitated safe constructions. This may mean staying away from all dangers and keeping certain high-threat food combinations off the menu. Regardless of whether you're bringing an occasion dish to the party or setting up the occasion feast yourself, practice safe food overseeing and review the requirements of individuals who might be slight against food pollution. Tweet this
Require wonderful idea during special seasons to guarantee that weak visitors keep away from high-danger food sources, like harsh or half-cooked eggs, crude or unpasteurized dairy things, crude fish or shellfish, crude or amazing meat or half-cooked poultry. Occasion dinners reliably bring extra things. Brief food ought not be left at room temperature for over two hours. Refrigerate or freeze extra things inside two hours of serving or toss them out. In warm climate, when 90°F or above, throw inside one hour of serving. Utilize a machine thermometer to watch that the refrigerator is cooling to 40°F or under and the cooler is 0°F or under.
Store extra things in shallow compartments (2 crawls down or less). Take out turkey from the bone and store it self-rulingly from the stuffing and sauce. Cut chest meat; legs and wings might be left total. Use turkey inside 3 to 4 days; stuffing and sauce inside 1 to 2 days. Warm extra things to 165°F. There are explicit sorts of food groupings which are gotten in their common development, like consequences of the soil, which just for the most part require an exhaustive wash with clean water.
Notwithstanding, unequivocal kinds of food are inconsistent until they have been prepared considering a particular target. A bona fide model is milk. Cleaned milk is plainly better for us and more secure to devour than crude milk. Hence, dependably consider when food sources have been dealt with for success and how this can work on the security of the food. On the off chance that you will store orchestrated food, you should do as such in cool conditions, for example, in the cooler. Refrigerated food collections ought to be kept between the temperature of 0°C and 5°C, as such coolers ought to be set at 3°C or 4°C.
