First, Robert Holfelder trained as a mechatronics fitter at Daimler. After successfully completing his apprenticeship, he took a leave from his job in order to study mechatronics full-time. Today he is back in the company working as a development engineer for bus and communication system networks. We spoke with him about why he chose Daimler as his employer and how Daimler helped him with his reentry after his studies.
Hello Mr. Holfelder, please introduce yourself briefly to our readers.
My name is Robert Holfelder. I studied mechatronics/electrical engineering with a minor in automotive electronics at the technical Esslingen University of Applied Sciences.
Since April 2015, I am employed as development engineer for bus and communication system networks at the Sindelfingen plant.
Why did you choose Daimler as your employer?
I decided for Daimler as my employer of choice because I always wanted to work in a large company with global operations and had already done my apprenticeship at Daimler. The different areas of the company offer individual development possibilities for each employee.
I am fascinated by the great number of concomitant development projects, in which I am involved as an engineer. Another exciting aspect is that our developments are later incorporated in our model series.
What excited me during the apprenticeship and is still fascinating to me is the work collaboration across locations and countries.
The independent work and the friendly and professional work climate are also great. Here every employee is individually promoted and challenged.
Please describe your career at Daimler – from the first day in the company until today.
After getting my secondary school certificate in 2007, I decided to train as a mechatronics fitter at Daimler AG in the Sindelfingen plant because of my great interest in mechanics and electrical engineering. During the training I took part in various mechanical and electrical training courses, collected my initial programming experience and obtained the international welding license. I was able to get my first international experience during my training in the Kecskemét plant in Hungary, where I provided technical support for the local setting up process in several short assignments together with another fellow trainee. I am still fascinated by mechatronics. The combination of electrical engineering, mechanics and informatics yields broadly diversified, technically sound knowledge.
After completing the training, I took a leave from my job in order to study what I had already learned in greater depth.
I completed a one-year full-time vocational college program from which I obtained an advanced technical college certificate.
Subsequently, I studied mechatronics and electrical engineering at the Göppingen location of Esslingen University of Applied Sciences and chose automotive electronics as an added area of specialization.
I wrote my bachelor's thesis in the area of board networks at the Sindelfingen location.
After obtaining my degree, since April 2015 I have been active as development engineer in the area of bus and communication systems networks at the Sindelfingen location.
Please tell us more about your team and your current position.
The team I have been working in since April 2015 is responsible for the bus layout across all model series. Among other things, we support the LIN-, CAN-Bus, Flex Ray and Ethernet. We also take part in the work on future network architectures and perform and evaluate simulations. Another aspect of our work is to make and evaluate measurements directly at the vehicles.
My work area is the CAN physical layer. The physical layer defines the mechanical, electrical and functional attributes of a bus system. I am currently supporting five model series and one network project.
The interesting thing about the work is that no two working days are alike. Since connectivity is an interface topic I am involved in many different activities. For example, it can happen that I mainly attend meetings on different topics one day, carry out measurements directly at the vehicle on the next day and perform and evaluate different simulations on the third day. In this way, the work is always extremely varied.
After completing your vocational training, you took a leave from your job in order to study mechatronics full-time. When did you know that you would continue working for Daimler after your studies? How did Daimler support you in preparing your reentry?
During my training I came to know Daimler as a globally operating company with many different interesting activity areas.
Since I was determined to continue working for Daimler AG after my studies, I took a leave from my job before the end of my training. I was given a re-employment confirmation for my "target station", in other words, for the job I would get after completing my training.
Daimler also gave me the chance to keep in touch during my studies. I could take part in various training measures, which prepared me very well for my reentry into the company. In addition, during the training I got to know the other students and was able to build up contacts among them. On top of that, I was assigned a personal HR advisor, who provided me with active support in my search for an appropriate degree thesis during my studies and for preparing my reentry afterwards.

Science in Christian Perspective
Real World Stratigraphy and the Noachian Flood
William F. Tanner*
Geology Department, Florida State University
Tallahassee, FL 32306-3026
From: PSCF 48 (March 19996): 44-47.
Many people have assumed that all the rocks at the surface of the earth were deposited during the flood associated with the name of Noah (Gen. 6-8). This position, if it were to be substantiated, would eliminate all of geological history. It would nullify all the observational procedures that thousands of experienced geologists have used over many years of field work to record and understand the stratigraphic sequence. It would also destroy the geological principle, "The present is the key to the past."
One early version of "Noachian stratigraphy" was limited to the moraines and till sheets of Europe and North America: the widespread ice-age deposits which have now been shown to have had a glacial origin. Their very great extent led a few early observers to attribute them to a global flood. However, very little attention was paid to the fact that they are not present across three entire continents (Africa, Australia, and South America) and large parts of other continents (much of Siberia, China, India, the southern half of the United States, and Mexico). Therefore, they cannot represent a global marine phenomenon.
A more inclusive version attributes all strata, wherever they may be found, to the Noachian deluge. Neither interpretation has been based on geological field work, but on what might be said to have been an armchair exercise, without much data.
Rock Cycle
Because many metamorphic rock bodies were once sedimentary rocks (prior to long, slow alteration), this approach crams almost all of geological history into a few monthsócontrary to the facts. The very slow solid-Earth processes that move sediments downward to great depths within the Earth, where they are converted by pressure and heat to metamorphic rocks before they are moved slowly upward again, would have had to occur in a few months.
This approach also denies the obvious fact that the products of erosion of older mountain ranges are incorporated, almost simultaneously, into thick sedimentary sequences which will not be converted into mountain systems until much later. That is, at any given momentóincluding nowówe can note (1) the uplift and erosion of major mountain ranges, such as the Himalayas, and (2) the accumulation of thick stratigraphic sequences which will be folded, uplifted, and eroded at a much later date, such as the 18-km-thick (60,000-ft-thick) pile measured underneath southern Louisiana today. This is a mechanism that requires simultaneous subaerial (but not subaqueous) erosion, on the one hand, and subaqueous deposition on the other. The latter, in the global picture, is an almost synchronous result of the former. This thoroughly-documented and well-understood process cannot operate under a global flood.
Field Results
Geological field work has produced something quite different from the supposed global, but short-term, catastrophe that many people wish to infer from the Genesis record. For purposes of explanation of the critical differences, a simple model can be presented. In this model, one notes that sedimentary materials accumulate largely in relatively long, narrow beltsósometimes up to some hundreds of kilometers wide, and perhaps as much as a few thousand kilometers long. This is the geosynclinal model, and the facts summarized in the model have not been swept away by the advent of plate tectonics. Sediments deposited in the geosyncline were generally laid down, by more-or-less ordinary processes, on a slowly-subsiding floor in rather shallow water. In due time the sediments locally reached a thickness of 15-25 km, then were folded and squeezed into long, narrow mountain chains. In the overall process, part of the rock sequence was altered by pressure and heat to form a different category of materials (metamorphic rocks). This compression (lateral squeezing) was in effect a "sweeping-to-one-side" operation, which left wide areas without significant sedimentary cover.
The Appalachian Mountain system of eastern North America is such a mountain chain. A very thick sequence of sedimentary layers later was squeezed and folded into a mountain range, which has been eroding slowly to form the mountains that we can see today. These mountains are still being uplifted slowly, and the products of their erosion are being deposited now in depositional areas not too far away: primarily in the states of Virginia, North Carolina, and Louisiana. The agencies of transport that connect the erosion areas and the deposition areas include some well-known freight-carrying lines, including the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers.
The Himalayan Mountains are currently being squeezed and thrust upward at roughly one centimeter per year, and in the process, the thick sequence of sedimentary rocks which had been deposited previously is being folded. Therefore, it is becoming narrower in the map sense. The products of erosion now are being deposited not too far away, especially to the south: on the north shores of the Indian Ocean and to the northeast.
It is not necessary to think of only one geosyncline, or only one mountain range, at any one time. Two or more geosynclines might be accumulating sediments simultaneously, and two or more mountain systems might be under construction (and undergoing erosion) simultaneously. Furthermore, it is not necessary to avoid overlap between (a) filling of one or more geosynclines, and (b) folding and uplifting of one or more mountain systems. But it is necessary to recognize that very slow uplift and subaerial erosion of any given mountain chain is accompanied, essentially simultaneously, with very slow submarine deposition of the products of that erosion. Two examples were given above, but there are others today where the pertinent processes have been studied.
Stratigraphic Thickness
The field geologist who works on stratified (sedimentary) rocks, typically describes those rocks and measures (not guesses) their thicknesses with reasonable precision. This requires careful and detailed work, from older layers to younger, foot by foot and inch by inch (centimeter by centimeter). At the conclusion of his assignment, the geologist can say that he has measured (and described) a certain stratigraphic thickness of rock. I have worked on several such projects. To cite only one example, the Pennsylvanian (age) strata in western Arkansas are at least 12,000 meters thick, and they represent a very small part of geological time. "At least" refers to the fact that the upper limit is a fault; the original sequence was thicker before faulting, but how much thicker is not known. However, our incomplete knowledge today does not reduce the 12,000 meters.
A "composite stratigraphic section" can be made by matching measurements and descriptions from adjacent areas or regions, setting duplications (which are mostly easy to recognize) to one side, and then adding up the remaining thicknesses to find out what the total might be. Sediments in the folded mountain systemóthe Penokean Mountains, long ago worn down to a nearly flat surface on which Chicago is builtódo not overlap the sedimentary sequence in the Himalayan Mountains. Therefore, both total thicknesses must be included in the final grand total.
The value of a "grand total" should be of great interest to us. It can only be estimated, because suitable field work has not yet been carried out in all places. However, this kind of estimate carries with it the corollary that a more nearly correct versionóto be learned at some date in the futureówill be numerically larger than the present value. That is, our errors due to incomplete field work are errors of omission, not of addition. We will increase the numerical total as we fill in the gaps, but measuring additional thicknesses cannot possibly make the sum any smaller.
A general estimate of the combined (non-overlapping) thicknesses, for Cambrian time and later (that is, for Phanerozoic time), is 300 km of deposits, plus-or-minus 100 km. The high value is more likely than the low value, because it is almost impossible to find (or to have access to) the thickest part of the stratigraphic section while doing geological field work. The geologist ordinarily must settle for some high result, but not necessarily the highest.
If we accept (as being roughly correct) a radiometric age for the beginning of Cambrian time as 600 million years ago, we get a long-term average rate of accumulation of half a millimeter every year. This is a reasonable figure in terms of measured modern processes (excluding highly localized events). If, on the other hand, we think that this entire pile of deposits accumulated in the five months assigned to Noah's flood, we must assume 2,000 meters of deposition per day, or 83 meters of additional thickness every hour, coming from some large subaerial landmass, which in some mysterious way was not drowned by the flood. The key figure here is not the rate that can be calculated, but the total thickness: about 300 km of sediment. This figure does not include any part of the probably thicker Precambrian stratigraphic sequence, and therefore, it is a very low value.
Besides this unrealistically low result (300 km thick), we have an equally important problem of a different kind. The deposits of the past were not laid down in uniform sheets like a giant layer cake, or, for the earth as a whole, like a giant onion. Rather, they were concentrated in a few regions, here and there, as indicated above. A single stratigraphic section, covering a small slice of geological time (cited above), is more than 12,000 meters thick. One important aspect of this field result is that nothing has been added to this one stratigraphic sequence since it was squeezed and crumpled into the Ouachita Mountains, which in turn took place before an equally thick section was developed to the west, in Oklahoma. That is, after a relatively long time, deposition shifted from one site to another, some distance away. This kind of long-term history is what the geologist actually finds, but it is far from what we should expect for a very short global flood.
Slow Uplift
A third, serious problem rests on the fact that mountain systems are not uplifted instantaneously. At a more-or-less realistic (but high) rate of one centimeter of uplift per year, a mountain like Mt. Everest requires more than 900,000 years to reach its present height, provided erosion of the rock surface is somehow prevented during its uplift. If erosion is taken into account, this figure should be much larger. Such episodes of folding and uplift must be fitted between observable depositional sequences.
Finally, there is the problem of erosion of the mountains. Many field geologists have had to contend with the time gap that must be inferred along the more-or-less horizontal plane which separates younger, as yet not folded, rock layers (above) from highly contorted layers (below). The latter, where extensive, suggest a long history of mountain-making and concomitant folding. But these mountains must have been eroding greatly to produce a more-or-less flat surface, and this erosion (removal) requires that millions of years of history are missing locally along this plane. Nevertheless, all of this missing time must be integrated into the stratigraphic sequence at that site.
No "Layer Cake"
The picture obtained by the field geologist is definitely not a uniform series of coats, like the paint that an artisan might put on an expensive piece of cabinet work. In fact, "layer cake stratigraphy" is commonly a term of derision. A better picture, although still not complete, is as follows: first, a sequence of layers is deposited here at this one locality, then there is a lateral compression and folding of these layers; second, a set of layers is deposited over yonder, followed by squeezing of this second set of layers; third, a set of layers is deposited elsewhere, again followed by deformation; and so forth, up into fairly high numbers. There is nothing global about any part of the checkerboard pattern in this depositional history.
The radiometric dates that are now availableómore than 1,000,000 of themóagree with the "checkerboard deposition" scheme outlined above, but are directly contrary to the layer-cake interpretation that must follow any effort to use the Noachian deluge as the model for stratigraphic history. The time-mosaic of deposition, reviewed here, does not arise from the radiometric dates, but instead is a necessary result of the geological field work. The mosaic was established first, many decades ago; the radiometric dates were added later. After the mosaic had been established firmly, by means of field work, it became possible to examine radiometric dates and to note that they are consistent with the mosaic model. However, the mosaic pattern and the great amount of time required are necessary results from the field work. The radiometric dates do not create nor alter the framework. They provide only some additional detail.
The basic stratigraphic model was established long before any dates were available from radioactive materials. It was known even then that the time intervals had to be very great. Various other methods of dating ó not as accurate as radiometric procedures ó were available to help estimate the amount of elapsed time. The results were startlingly large. Radiometric dating has added some precision that was lacking previously and an increase in the total time involved.
The long slow processes of folding and uplift, erosion, transport and depositionóvisible and measurable todayórequire that the business of emplacing the surface rocks on our planet has had an extremely long and complicated history. The physical characteristics of sedimentary rocks indicate that deposition was particularly slow. The tremendous thickness of the composite stratigraphic column similarly shows that this history cannot be explained in terms of one or two catastrophic events. Instead, as the experienced field geologist well knows, there have been many catastrophes, and they were not global.

Fresh Raspberry Ice Cream
Fresh RASPBERRY Ice Cream
Thanks to the fabulous visit of the Taron/Hallorans, and Doug telling me that the recipe in the Ben & Jerry Ice Cream Cookbook for Fresh Raspberry Ice Cream was "excellent", we made some. We'd had the book for years and I've only used the Vanilla recipe up to this date. The raspberry experiment? I ate a PINT of it the first night. Oh, but it was a pleasure.
Hence, I'm putting it out here for all to enjoy….. IF YOU like fresh Raspberries, you must try this, and it IS that season right now.
*Compared to other fresh fruit, fresh raspberries are intensely flavorful and very tart, so to make ice cream you need less fruit and more sugar.
1 Pint fresh Raspberries
1 1 / 2 Cups Sugar
Juice of 1 / 2 lemon
2 Large Eggs
2 Cups heavy or whipping cream.
! cup whole milk
1. Toss the raspberries, 3 / 4 cup of the sugar, and the lemon juice together in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes.
2. Whisk the eggs in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in the remaining 3 / 4 cup sugar, a little at a time, then continue whisking until completely blended, about 1 minutes more. Pour in the heavy cream and milk and whisk to blend.
3. Drain the juice from the raspberries into the cream mixture and blend. Mash the raspberries until pur'eed and stir them into the cream mixture.
4. Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and freeze following the manufacturer's instructions.
Makes a generous quart. Bon Apetit !

Florida team wins submarine race
A submarine built by Florida Atlantic University students took top honors at the International Submarine Race in Maryland, school officials said.
The university's Talon 1, a one-person propeller-driven sub, reached a top speed of slightly more than 7 mph to make it the fastest sub in any category at the 21-team competition at the U.S. Naval Surface Warfare Center in Bethesda, The Miami Herald reported Tuesday.The Florida team, which won $1,125 in prize money, competed against subs built by Texas A&M University, Virginia Tech and universities in Maine, Maryland, Washington and Michigan, as well as college teams from Canada, England and Venezuela.
Building a submarine takes a lot of dedication, said winning team captain George Valdes, an ocean-engineering student.
Judges graded the students on speed and their subs' ability to avoid crashing, popping to the surface or simply failing to move through the water, Valdes said of last month's race.

By Jake Donovan
Normally, a result like the one that occurred last Saturday in Las Vegas would leave an anti-climactic feel to the remainder of the boxing year. From the moment Juan Manuel Marquez saw his final right hand crash down on Manny Pacquiao's jaw, the initial reaction was how to properly commemorate the event come year-end awards time.
Round of the Year for their two-way action in round five? It's possible.
Fight and Knockout of the Year? The talks have already suggested runaway favorites.
Fighter of the Year to Marquez?
Not so fast. Knocking out one Filipino superstar doesn't remove all from the running.
Nonito Donaire hopes to cap what been an incredible 2012 campaign when he faces Jorge Arce in a world 122 lb. championship title defense. The bout takes place Saturday evening at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas. HBO will air the bout, marking Donaire's fourth appearance on the network this year, all of which will have come against consensus Top 10 competition.
If you ask the experts, then an Arce win would perhaps headline another year-end category, Upset of the Year. Read on to see how the Boxingscene.com staff believe the action will unfold and the Fighter of the Year race will turn out.
"Donaire is Fighter of the Year hands down if he beats Arce. He will have overwhelmingly beat four contenders in one year. His skills are at another level than anyone else's."
- Damien Acevedo (Donaire // Donaire for Fighter of the Year)
"Arce is always all heart, but this is a terrible matchup of styles for him. His lone shot is a puncher's chance, which is never much of a chance at all when your opponent boasts a granite chin. Donaire is too good across the board. Donaire by mid-round stoppage to win tonight, and then again in another 2½ weeks when he is declared Fighter of the Year."
– Jake Donovan (Donaire // Donaire for Fighter of the Year)
"Donaire TKO6. I think the Nonito we saw in the Nishioka fight is more indicative of what we will see in the ring than the Mathebula fight. Arce will make it fun while it lasts but he will fall far short of the mark. He is still my Figther Of The Year because while JMM has the more emphatic victory he still has only one good win to hang his hat on. The Fedechenko fight was abysmal and he was arguably losing the Pacquiao fight as well."
– Ernest Gabion (Donaire // Donaire for Fighter of the Year)
"Nonito Donaire KO5 Jorge Arce. Much has been said about the involvement of Jorge Arce's strength coach, Angel Heredia Hernandez, in this fight. However, compared to Hernandez's other charge Juan Manuel Marquez having previously established stylistic dilemmas against Manny Pacquiao, that is not the case here. I think Donaire lands a counter left hook to floor Arce, finishes 2012 a sparkling 4-0 in a brand new division, and solidifies his claim as Fighter of the Year."
- Ryan Maquinana (Donaire // Donaire for Fighter of the Year)
"Donaire KO4 Arce. Donaire will continue to make his case for fighter of the year, having spent all of 2012 dominating his new 122 lb. division. Donaire has set himself apart from all top fighters by fighting 4 times year year, and he'll finish the year out with his 4th win and second consecutive knockout. That'll be good enough for runner-up in the Fighter of the Year, because he did not have a game changing victory like JMM did last weekend in his 4th battle with the now slain Pac-Monster. If Donaire gets a match with Abner Mares in 2013, he'll have his opportunity for a game changing victory. If he gets Rigondeuax, too, and beats both of them, then the 2013 FOTY will be his. Unless, of course, someone comes along and upsets Mayweather."
- Richard Najdowski (Donaire // Marquez for Fighter of the Year)
"Donaire KO Arce: Remember the scene in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom when the villain pulled a beating heart out of a chest. That's about what this fight chalks up to. On paper, this is ritual slaughter. Arce's career has been in a pattern for years. He fights fun fights against B-sides and faded names he managed not to tempt when they were good, gets matched with a live top talent and loses, rinse and repeat. WVII was an anomaly to that equation (and might not qualify as top talent) and a testament to his longevity but here he's smaller, slower, and facing a lethal puncher. If it's competitive, that might be the Upset of the Year. It's the perfect fight to make Donaire look like King Kong and if he's in the sort of zone he was for Wladimir Sidorenko and Fernando Montiel, this could be over anywhere from the first to the sixth. There's a lot of talk that this fight, which would seal a 4-0 campaign for the year, also seals a Fighter of the Year bid for Donaire. I'm not so sure. Marquez's win over Pacquiao was so much larger in magnitude than anything Donaire has done this year, so much more newsworthy, that one shot made override four wins. I view Marquez as the leader in the field right now. Magnitude matters."
– Cliff Rold (Donaire // Marquez for Fighter of the Year)
"Nonito Donaire TKO 6-8 Jorge Arce. Marquez aside, The Filipino Flash has a Fighter of the Year label written all over him. A win over "El Travieso", which in my mind is almost a done deal, can leapfrog the kid over the great Mexican to a prize, which is rightfully his. In order to do that Donaire should win in mildly emphatic fashion, which means he needs a stoppage or a landslide on the cards. He has an ability to do that: the Pinoy wonder is bigger, faster and younger than Arce, whose numerous recent titles don't fully reflect the decrease in his abilities. The clash will be hot-contested with Arce having his share of success early, but Nonito's skills will frustrate Arce, and his punching power will force a Darchinyan-like stoppage or retirement somewhere after the midpoint."
- Alexey Sukachev (Donaire // Donaire For Fighter of the Year)
Total - Fight: Nonito Donaire 7, Jorge Arce 0
Total – Fighter of the Year Race: Donaire (with a win tonight) 5, Marquez 2

Tomba Accused of Falsifying His Passport
Published 7:00 pm, Monday, January 20, 2003
Skiing great Alberto Tomba was stopped by police at Leonardo da Vinci airport and accused of trying to alter his expired passport.
Police filed a complaint Tuesday against Tomba on charges of falsifying documents, said an official with the Italian border police at the airport.
The official, who asked not to be identified, said the retired ski champion wasn't arrested Monday and was free pending a decision by prosecutors.
Tomba said he was sorry and acted "without any intention of committing a crime, the Italian news agency ANSA reported.
"I found myself in an emergency situation, with the plane leaving and a strike announced for the next day (Tuesday), and I panicked," he told ANSA.
Tomba's assistant, Laura Lelli, said Tuesday she couldn't comment until lawyers had received the complaint's documents.
The police official said Tomba tried to change the date of expiration on his passport at the Rome airport after realizing it was no longer valid.
Italian news reports said Tomba was heading to the Seychelles for a vacation, and the plane left without him.
Before his retirement in 1998, Tomba captured a World Cup overall championship, three Olympic gold medals and two world titles.

The Sapphire Marine Discovery Centre has launched an exciting new project, in a world-first that links marine citizen science projects on a global level.
As part of the Oceans Connected initiative, centre staff and volunteers conducted a survey at Shelly's Beach on Thursday, searching for 23 different indicator species in order to determine the effects of factors like climate change, changing temperatures and rainfall patterns on Australia's east coast.
At the same time, the centre's new "twin", the Berwickshire and North Northumberland Coast European Marine Site, conducted a simultaneous study in the UK.
The centres, working on a methodology set by ClimateWatch Marine (Australia) and The Big Sea Survey (UK) then held a live Skype catch-up to compare their results, looking at the similarities, differences and any noticeable patterns.
Scientists will now conduct their own analysis of the findings.
Sapphire Marine Discovery Centre marine education officer Jillian Riethmuller said it is a thrill for the centre to be involved in such a wide-reaching international project.
"ClimateWatch instigated it with us; they run the survey methodology and the database, but they needed a marine centre to actually run the survey," Ms Riethmuller said.
"It's really about opening up a conversation across the oceans.
"This data will go into the ClimateWatch database, and their scientists will be able to access it, see the results, and compare it to those measures to see if there is any correlation with the data that goes into The Big Sea Survey database in the UK.
"We'll be doing these surveys a number of times throughout the year, so people can always check our Facebook page and our website if they want to get involved.
"We had seven people here today, as well as six volunteers from Campbell Page who weren't able to stay for the full time, but we're hoping to get more people involved in citizen science."
Among the volunteers was recent zoology graduate Tara Hicks, who travelled up from Mallacoota to help out after seeing a Facebook post on Wednesday night.
She said it is fascinating to see the difference in the marine environment in Eden, even if it is only an hour from home.
"Every time you go to rock pools you find different things, like today I've found a Feather Star," she said.
"It's been really good, and it's really different from where I live.
"I'm really interested in the marine environment and love getting into these sorts of things."
Keen an eye on the Sapphire Marine Discovery's website and Facebook page to find out you can get involved in the next survey.

Twin-Set and Moar Street fashion!
I have never been anywhere in Europe, which is why I put in an extra effort in my official entry for the Twin-Set Canada photo contest. Should I win, I'll be taking part in a Twin-Set fashion show in Milan next season.
The challenge: To model a shirt from the new Twin-Set collection in a setting that displays "Italy in Montreal." I decided to take those directions quite literally with this casual shot of me as I jaywalk Saint Laurent Boulevard in front of Fruiterie Milano in the heart of Little Italy. This is how Montrealers do it, so fine me if you can find me!
I am quite happy with the result of my photo thanks to a very special photographer, but I still need your help to keep me at the top. Kindly click the banner below to vote for my entry in the contest and fly me to Milan!
While I'm at it, why not throw in a couple of street photos? I confess that I haven't been the best fashion blogger recently, but we can expect that my posting consistency will return along with those warm summer days us Canadians have been longing for. Below are a few shots taken in and around Parc Lafontaine.
What I'm wearing:
– Faux leather jacket from Le Chateau
– Thrifted orange and black net-graphic sweater
– A-line skirt from H&M
– Black tights by Jacob
– Gore-tex lined chunky-heel booties by Aquatalia
Like many girls these days, I have an unconditional love for crop tops. If you like the one I'm wearing above, it's quite an easy DIY project. Simply grab a pair of scissors and chop off about 50% of the material (lol). The only challenge is finding a sweater with an interesting colour or graphic worth wearing. If it's got no charm, don't buy it, even if it's only five bucks!
Should you ever so happen to take a minute of your time vote for me, please send me a line, because I definitely want to know!
Well…that's a wrap on my blogging duties for now, I better get back to Walking Dead. I watched 10 consecutive episodes of this show in a row last night until 7:30 AM. Talk about letting go once exams are over.

The parameter of the command associated with each menu entry is distinct. I have successfully managed to update the toggle state of the command. When any of the menu entries is selected then both menu entries are checked/unchecked and the command handler is executed correctly (it changes the current perspective). And this is consistent with http://wiki.eclipse.org/Menu_Contributions/Update_checked_st ate: 'the command service calls public void updateElement(UIElement element, Map parameters) for every UIElement registered against the command'. Since the Javadoc of the updateElement method states that the 'element' should not be tracked down I needed to find a way have the toggle state change only for the menu entry selected (and not for both of the menu entries). I tried to create a filter for the 'refreshElements' method of the 'ICommandService' but I cannot get the desired effect: both of the menu entries toggle their state. In the Javadoc of the above method it states that: 'If the command is parameterized, some of the parameters can be specified to help narrow down which elements to refresh.' So I tried to create the filter like this: filter.put(parameter_name, parameter_value); but it doesn't seem to work as expected.

History of
From History of Ingham and Eaton Counties, Michigan
By Samuel W. Durant
Published 1880 by D.W. Ensign & Co., Philadelphia
The occupants of the territory included in the township of Leslie, when it was first settled by white people, were of the copper-color race generally known as Indians. Evidences, however, exist pointing to the occupation - long previous - by a people superior in many respects to the Indians, notably in the art of defense against the attacks of hostile forces.
Sidney O. RUSSELL, of Leslie, while hunting on a certain occasion, in the winter, discovered an embankment on what is now the J.W. WILCOX place, near North Leslie, and when the snow had gone he examined it closely. It was rectangular in form, with entrances at the northern and southern ends, and when discovered by Mr. RUSSELL was about eighteen inches high. Upon it were growing trees which were equal in size to those standing in the surrounding forest, which were very large.In the immediate vicinity of Leslie were discovered other curiosities in the form of small mounds and pits. About half a mile west of the village was a tract of fifteen or twenty acres, from which were plowed up large numbers of human bones, many of which were left exposed. A piece of hardened copper was also found in one locality, and among the bones which were unearthed was a skull, which was so large that not a hat could be found in Leslie large enough to fit it; a thighbone which was found to be three inches longer than the thigh of the tallest man in the place, and he was very tall. The Indians had no knowledge of these bones, nor of the works which abounded in the vicinity; and it can only be concluded that they were relics of that mysterious people whom archaeologists call the "prehistoric race." Rev. W.W. CRANE, an early minister of this region, who lived in Eaton County, was an enthusiast in the study of these antiquities, and familiar with all the treatises upon the subject, yet he could only offer theory as to their probable origin and the time when this portion of the country was occupied by them, for nothing definite could be known of them more than the evident fact of their being a warlike race, and considerably versed in mechanics.
The records of the County Pioneer Society contain the following items of interest regarding some of the settlers of the township of Leslie:
Jacob ARMSTRONG,
"I hired a man and a team to transport my goods; arrived at the Freeman bridge, on Grand River, the 9th of September. Found the river impassable on account of heavy rains. The causeway, some thirty rods long between the bridge and the north bank, was afloat. I left my goods on the south side, and my wife and I crossed on the floating logs, jumping from one log to another, and came to Leslie that night, five miles, on foot. Next morning I started with an ox-team for my goods, the river still impassable for a team. By the help of three hired men we loaded in a wagon what we could draw, and drew it across a plank laid on the floating causeway, and by taking two sets of plank we could shift them every length of the wagon, and by working faithfully all day, part of the time up to our waist in water, we got them over, and arrived at our home in Leslie sometime after dark."
The Freeman bridge mentioned by Mr. ARMSTRONG is well remembered by the pioneers, as it was the place where many of them crossed the river when on their way to Ingham County with their families.
Elijah WOODWORTH,*
"My nearest neighbors north were at De Witt, Clinton Co.; south, four miles, and east and west none but natives that I knew of. During the summer new-comers in pursuit of homes found my habitation. Each had his name booked as he came to the door, and his turn of choice of land followed his registry. Amos WORTMAN, Jasper WOLCOTT, and myself became their guides in the wilderness. Our provisions were transported some distance and were very dear. I assisted D.F. DWIGHT to build the first saw-mill at Leslie, in 1836. The mail was brought from Jacksonville. We had no sawed timbers about our mill. Our land was located at Kalamazoo in the order the applications were made.
"Henry MEEKER located his land and mill site, and left the same year. When we went out to look land we had to camp in the woods over-night or stay at some Indian lodging. During 1836 among the new settlers were James ROYSTON, S.O. RUSSELL, and E.T. CRITCHETT, of Seneca Falls, New york. Plenty of wild animals then roamed the forests, such as bear, wolves, deer; cats, rats, and mice we had none."
* Mr. Woodworth was the first settler in Leslie township, and is now residing in Wheatfield.
During 1836, before a bridge was built over Grand River, it was crossed by incomers on a log raft. Some time in that year, Mr. OAKS was treed by wolves near the river, on his return from Jackson, and remained all night on his perch, badly frightened. Wolves were quite troublesome until the settlers began trapping them for the bounty of seven dollars per head, and their numbers were soon greatly lessened. Bears were also plenty, and it is related that David ACKLEY killed one with his rifle, one Sunday morning, that was seven feet two inches in length. He and his wife were out taking a walk, and she first mistook the animal for an Indian pony.
First Lawsuit and First Death
Thales W. HUNTOON,
Benjamin DAVIS,
Sidney O. RUSSELL,
Wheaton SANDERS,
The forgoing items concerning the pioneers mentioned are from the Pioneer Society's records; what follows has been gathered "in the field," among the pioneers.
Amos WORTMAN,
Mr. WORTMAN assisted many in looking out their land, as also did Mr. WOODWORTH and Mr. WOLCOTT. Mr. WORTMAN was married in October, 1838, and settled upon his place the following spring, having cleared a small tract and sowed about fifteen acres of wheat. The first wheat sowed in the township was put in by S.O. RUSSELL and James ROYSTON, who settled in the summer of 1836. Mr. WORTMAN helped cut the first road in the township of Leslie, and also helped to cut tracks through the woods in other townships while on "land-hunting" trips. Those roads were scarcely better than cow-paths.
Sidney O. RUSSELL,
Mr. RUSSELL's wife is a daughter of Mrs. Abby HAYNES, who, after the death of her husband, removed to Michigan from the town of Marcellus, Onondaga Co., N.Y., with five children, and settled in the township of White Oak, Ingham Co. This was in 1838; one year later they removed to Onondaga township. Mrs. RUSSELL was the eldest child. Mrs. HAYNES, who was a resolute, energetic woman, died in 1871. When the family started from New York they had a team of horses, but while passing through Canada one of the horses was traded for a yoke of oxen, ahead of which the other horse was hitched, and slow progress was made over the extremely bad Canadian roads. From Detroit to Ann Arbor the journey occupied two days' time, and the wagon contained four persons for its load only. Mr. RUSSELL, who had come two years before, was four days making the same distance.
Mr. ARMSTRONG's brother, Jacob, in company with Nelson B. BACKUS, settled in the township in 1836, at Leslie, or "Teaspoon Corners." He sold eighty acres of the land he had purchased to Mr. BAKUS, who became a prominent citizen in the township, as did also Mr. ARMSTRONG. These men were the first settlers at North Leslie. Mr. ARMSTRONG, who first purchased on section 9, has resided for several years at Oakley, Saginaw Co., Mich. M.V. ARMSTRONG held the position of commissioner of highways in Leslie about twenty-five years.
Mahlon COVERT,
Calvin EDWARDS,
Wheaton SANDERS, who accompanied Mr. EDWARDS to the township, was from the same neighborhood in New York.*(Elsewhere stated the Mr. SANDERS came in 1839) He is now deceased, but his family occupies the old farm. His brother, Gilbert SANDERS, had settled in the same locality a year previous to the arrival of Wheaton SANDERS, and is now living in Albion, Calhoun Co.
Arnold WALKER,
Nelson NORTON,
Rev. Elijah K. GROUT,
Mrs. GROUT is a sister of Henry and Dr. Valorous MEEKER, and daughter of Benjamin MEEKER, who were among the first settlers in the township of Leslie. Henry MEEKER purchased land on section 28 in February, 1836. Henry MEEKER, in company with his father, Benjamin MEEKER, and Denziel P. RICE, came at nearly the same time with Elijah WOODWORTH, and soon sent for the family of the elder MEEKER, who came the same year (1836). Dr. Valorous MEEKER arrived in 1837, and was the first physician who settled in Ingham County. Benjamin MEEKER and wife both died in this township. Henry returned to Cortland Co., N.Y., but afterwards removed still farther West, and is now living near Milford, Dickinson Co., Iowa. The MEEKERs, in many respects, were among the most prominent citizens of Leslie township.
Henry FISKE
James BLACKMORE,
The first settlement at the village of Leslie, as well as in the township, has been mentioned as having been made by Elijah WOODWORTH, in 1836, and his log house was the first one erected where now stands a prosperous village.
In the summer of 1836 a saw-mill was built on Huntoon Creek by WOODWORTH, DWIGHT & Co., about twenty rods east of what is now BAILEY's stave-factory.David F. DWIGHT, of that firm, was formerly from Boston, and had come when small to Detroit with his father, who there engaged in business, afterwards removing to Jackson. The DWIGHT's (J.N. and D.F.) purchased lands in Leslie, including the mill-site. David F. DWIGHT, who is now living in Boston, owns property at Leslie, Jackson, Detroit, Chicago, and other places. The old mill-dam at Leslie was finally torn away and the mill-pond drained, for the promotion of health in the locality.
A post-office was established at Leslie as early as the fore part of 1838, and Henry FISKE was the first postmaster. Numerous others have since held the office. Hiram GODFREY was postmaster in 1856; Sidney O. RUSSELL held it afterwards for several years, and was succeeded by James BLACKMORE, the present incumbent, who was appointed March 10, 1865.
The first goods brought to Leslie for sale belonged to Alba BLAKE, who came here from Vermont, and placed them in a small slab shanty. The first regular store in the village was built about 1839-40, by V.H. POWELL, of Ann Arbor. S.O. RUSSELL, as elsewhere stated, has been in the mercantile business in the place since 1842.
Village Incorporation, Etc.
On the nineteenth of the same month the council appointed Henry M. PITTS marshal, and Ogden EDWARDS street commissioner. The following have been officers of the village from 1870 to the present:
* 1880 - Eaton did not qualify
The records for the years 1839 and 1840 are missing. The following is a list of the principal officers of the township from 1841 to 1879, with a few exceptions missing:
JUSTICES of the PEACE
In 1870 the village purchased several hand fire-extinguishers, and it was resolved, June 21, 1872, to purchase a fire-engine, at an expense not to exceed $1000. It arrived in the fall of that year, and cost $900. In August, 1872, a lot for the use of the fire department was purchased of REED & ALLEN, on Carney Street, for $245, and an engine house built upon it. In November, 1873, it was voted to raise $250 to construct two reservoirs for use in case of fire, etc. Protection Fire Company, No. 2, was organized June 7, 1875, with twenty-six members. It was afterwards disbanded, and in the summer of 1880 was reorganized under the same name, with thirty members (twenty belonging to the engine company, and ten to the hose company). The officers of the engine company are: Foreman, John L. NICHOLS; First Assistant Foreman, John BOYLE; Second Assistant Foreman, E.E. BAKER; Secretary, A.A. LUMBARD; Treasurer, Andrew HAHN; Engineer, H.E. WILLIAMS; First Assistant Engineer, C.H. ROBERTS; Steward, James FINLEY. Hose company officers: Foreman, W.W. COOK; Assistant Foreman, B.J. HAHN.
The excitement over the mineral wells at Eaton Rapids and elsewhere caused the citizens of Leslie to experiment in the same direction, and the results were gratifying. The first well sunk by S.O. RUSSELL, in 1872, and James McDANIELS, soon after, in the same year, caused one to be drilled at the "Eagle Hotel." Six others were sunk at nearly the same time. The water is similar to that in the Eaton Rapids wells, and is beneficial in a class of diseases which are treated successfully with the mineral waters of that place.
The first hotel in the village was originally built for a dwelling, but in the fall of 1844 it was remodeled and converted into a hotel by Nathaniel and Horace SMITH. It was burned in 1852, and the present Hawley House was built on the same ground, in that year, by Horace SMITH. The old building had been known as the Leslie House, and, like the present one, was a frame structure. The Hawley House is now the property of Henry B. HAWLEY, The Messrs. SMITH came to Leslie in 1844, from Orleans Co., N.Y. Nathaniel SMITH died in January, 1851, and his son is now a boot- and shoe-dealer at Leslie.
The Eagle Hotel was built also in 1852, by Hiram AUSTIN, who conducted it for some time. It was also kept for a time by Horace SMITH. It is now owned and carried on by James McDANIELS, a very popular landlord, who purchased it in 1869, and who has since greatly enlarged and repaired it.
The Allen House is a fine brick hotel, east of the main street of the village, and was built about 1872 by H.T. ALLEN & Son, a private banking-firm then in Leslie. The cost of the house, fitting the grounds, an artificial lake, an island, a bath-house, was probably $20,000. The enterprise, although a laudable one, has never proved a source of profit, and the Messrs. ALLEN were unfortunate in their investment. The property is now owned by David F. Dwight, of Boston and the ALLEN's are in Kansas.
FIRST NATIONAL BANK of LESLIE
Was established in August, 1864, with a capital of $50,000. The original officers were: Arnold WALKER, President; M.E. RUMSEY, Vice-President; C.C. WALKER, Cashier. The officers at present are the same, except that W.W. PEIRSON has taken the place of C.C. WALKER as Cashier, the latter having been elected to the position of county clerk. The directors are: A. WALKER, M.E. RUMSEY, John B. DAKIN, William HAYNES, A.R.L. COVERT, J.J. TUTTLE, E.G. ANNIS. H.T. Allen & Son had previously established a private banking-business in the village.
Several manufacturing establishments which have previously existed in Leslie are now "among the things that were." A large steam grist-mill has been burned in a recent year, and other institutions have fallen from prominence. The principal manufactory now in the place is the stave-factory of A.J. BAILEY & Son, located in the eastern part of the village. It was started by these parties about 1868, and they have about $25,000 invested at present, the annual products amounting to about the same. Their pay-roll amounts to $7,000 or $8,000 annually, an average of twenty persons being employed. A coopering establishment is also owned by the firm at Leslie, and one at Albion, Calhoun Co., the latter manufacturing about 1200 barrels a week and giving employment to fifteen men. About 2,000,000 staves are manufactured annually at their Leslie establishment, and they are proprietors also of a similar institution at Mason.
A new grist-mill was erected at the village in the summer of 1880 by the WILCOX Brothers, the lot on which it stands and $1,000 in money having been given them by the town. The entire cost of the mill is over $10,000, and three, and possibly four, runs of stone will be put in.
A paper called the Leslie Herald was established at the village in May, 1869, by J. W. ALLEN, and continued several years. Its business was finally transferred to that of the Leslie Local, which was started in August, 1876, by the present proprietor, W.W. COOK. The latter paper is a five-column quarto, independent in politics, and its circulation in the latter part of August, 1880, was 502. It is printed on a "Davis Oscillator Press, No. 2."
The Leslie Coronet Band was organized June, 1880, with sixteen pieces, and Enoch DOWLING as leader. A fine uniform and a good outfit have since been purchased, and the band is free from debt. Most of its members are "old players," and the organization is a creditable one. Its music is new and excellent, and the execution thereof is worthy of bands of greater note. Mr. DOWLING continues as leader.

Ingham Encampment, No. 22, I.O.O.F.,

This organization is similar to the Grand Army of the Republic. An encampment of "Our Country's Defenders" was partially organized in Leslie, nut the Order of the Stars and Stripes appears to have better suited the old soldiers, and the latter organization is in flourishing condition.

IVES, Mariah HAZELTON, Harriet BARDEN, and Elijah K. GROUT.
"Br. M. COVERT was appointed deacon, and E.K. GROUT clerk of the church.

"Voted, That Brother E.K. GROUT be licensed to improve his gift in giving exposition of Scripture from time to time, as the Spirit may divert his mind.
"Voted, That we try to maintain our church meetings once in four weeks, at one o'clock P.M.
"Elder D. HENDEE, Moderator.
Of the persons named above who were constituent members of this church the only ones now living (1880) are Mahlon COVERT and his wife.
Calvin STRAIGHT and wife united with the church May 11, 1839, and on the same date it was voted to apply for admission to the River Raisin Baptist Association, and voted also to give Mr. GROUT a license to preach. The church was admitted to the association named in the latter part of May, or early in June, 1939. Mr. GROUT was ordained as a minister Feb. 16, 1841, and became the pastor of the church. At an association meeting held at Napoleon, Sept. 10,1842, Mr. GROUT presented resolutions denouncing slavery, and providing for work against it in the church, also against intemperance in the church. In the spring of 1847, Elder GROUT was given a letter of dismissal and recommendation, and removed to St. Clair County, in which he resided for ten years. June 15, 1847, a call was voted to Elder F. FREEMAN, and it was sent and accepted. March 24, 1849, it was voted to call Elder david HENDEE to serve the church at Leslie one-fourth of his time. He became the pastor, and labored with the church until April 20, 1851. His successor was Elder H.B. FULLER, of Bunker Hill, who was secured in May, 1852, and remained until the spring of 1861, when Elder GROUT again commenced preaching here one-fourth of the time; he continued until Oct. 20, 1866, when he resigned and was immediately succeeded by Rev. Mr. VROMAN as supply. Elders E. RUMSEY and ____PARMENTER also held services. In August, 1867, Elder John DUNHAM was secured as supply for one year. Elders PUTNAM, William H. COX, ____ HAMLIN, and John B. KEMP preached in 1868, and the latter was secured as pastor on the 1st of November in that year. He resigned Jan. 1, 1870, on account of ill health, and services were rendered by Elders RICE, GUNN, and FULLER. Elder W.C. GUNN became the pastor, and commenced his work May 1, 1870, continuing until March 26, 1871. Elder H.B. FULLER supplied the pulpit a short time, and in June, 1871, Elder W.C. ARCHER received and accepted a call, but resigned August 20th following. Rev. U. GREGORY commenced his labors as pastor of the church Sept. 24, 1871, and was installed November 5th following. He was given leave of absence Aug. 4, 1872, to complete his theological course at Rochester, N.Y., and Elder H.M. GALLUP became pastor in September, 1872, remaining until Oct. 6, 1877, when he resigned. On the 21st of the same month Elder H.L. BOWER became the pastor, and closed his labors in September, 1879. The present pastor, Elder John HERITAGE, has been in charge since October, 1879.
In 1856 it was voted to make an effort to build a meeting-house, and a frame structure was commenced, which was not completed for several years. It is the one now in use. In 1871 a parsonage was built, at a cost of about $2000. The present membership of the church is about 130, and the Sabbath-school, of which C.E. PICKETT is superintendent, has an average attendance of about 90.

Any movie buff knows that the process of buying tickets to watch movies is a hectic one. Standing in long queues and waiting for drinks and popcorn, and dealing with stressful people are some of the drawbacks of watching movies in a cinema. Fortunately, you do not have to travel to the cinema as you can stream movies to your Android device thanks to Showbox Download. This app is free of charge, and you can download it from the developer's website.
Those days of preparing to go to watch movies in the cinema are over. You do not need to eat your dinner early to get time to travel to the cinema hall. There is no reason for spending hard-earned cash on tickets, meals, snacks, and gas just to watch movies. You can now stream movies using your smart device by just downloading free movie app. This is now possible with new technologies available for tablets and smartphones.
People opposed to watching movies online argue that the movie lacks excitement that is delivered by the traditional theater. In the past, this was true, but not anymore. Every smart device has a built-in media player. If it does not have, you can still download one and install. After getting the right media player, you can check configurations of your device and choose the right option for you. Just with a click of the mouse, you are on your way to enjoying watching movies.
Although, you cannot compare the screen of a smartphone to that of big cinemas, you can create a cinematic experience from the comfort of your home. Therefore, in this case, size is not important. You can buy several cables and use them to turn your computer screen into a great home theater system. You can attach your tablet or smartphone into an existing television or LCD projector. Moreover, if you have installed surround system into the television, you can get a home cinema that rivals cinema in your town.
Searching for movies
Searching for favorite movies has been made easy with the movie apps. You should carry out extensive research to find movies that are not pirated. You need to familiarize yourself with the app before you start using it. This additional time spent at the start can save you a lot of time at the end. You can even impress your date with exciting movies online and a homemade meal.

YES.....I was seven months and still showing neg
I tested negative at 3 months.... Finally, got tired of being sick all the time and went to the doctor. I even had my period(thru the 6th month)... Make an appointment asap hun... And to Penny...that was quite mean spirited of ya... Not too nice at all...
Just go to the Dr instead of asking it here. Could be as simple as your body did not ovulate, which means no release of egg in order to have a period. BUT YOU WILL NOT KNOW UNLESS YOU GO TO THE DR---listen to the nurse here.
Probably not! But there is always a chance!

Go to a dr.
Yes.

Four kids at eight months pregnant. Urine tests showing not pregnant. Could be that after 18 years the test have changed.
they are very accurate if used right. they pick up you HCG levels which are given off by the pregnancy.. the HCG level rises as the pregnancy progresses..the best advice i could give is if you are unsure see a ob-gyn and be tested there. You can still get pregnant when you are menopausal and not in full menopause which is considered to be without your menses for a full year (which should be confirmed by a doctor)

Nigerian Export Promotion Council, NEPC, and the National Cereal Research Institute, NCRI has planned to host a bi-annual exhibition to explore improved technologies for agricultural production.
The council, in a statement noted that the exhibition would lead to national self-sufficiency in food and industrial raw materials.
Executive Director of the NEPC Mr. Olusegun Awolowo, was quoted as saying that during his visit to NCRI the exhibition would also facilitate the exportation of goods from the country to another country.
He said that the event would provide a veritable platform for stakeholders in the non-oil sector to exchange ideas.
According to him, "The event will provide a veritable platform for stakeholders in the non-oil sector to exchange ideas and showcase their products. It will also provide programmes and projects with a view to attracting partnership, local and foreign investors to boost activities in the non-oil export sector,."
It said that the visit was to have a robust interface and synergy with relevant stakeholders, to achieve the council's mandate of developing and promoting non-oil exports.
It further stated that the current economic realities occasioned by the falling global crude oil prices and lack of patronage by major oil consuming nations like the U.S. led to a corresponding dwindle in revenue accruable to Nigeria.
The statement added, "This has made it imperative that the country diversify its economic base towards making the non-oil sector a major driver for the Nigerian economy."
The statement also noted that the NEPC Executive Director as saying that the council was adopting strategies that would ensure the country diversified its productive base.
"Diversifying the nation's productivity base will make Nigeria one of the leading nations in the production of agricultural commodities and global marketing" it said.
Responding, the Acting Executive Director of NCRI, Dr Lawrence Ogunremi, said that several value-added products had been developed over the years to boost export to countries that had similar food habit and culture with Nigeria.
Ogunremi explained that the institute would collaborate with NEPC on the production of instant cereal breakfast (Porridge) and Soybean seasonings (Soyabean Dadawa).
He affirmed that they would collaborate in the production of high-protein energy weaning foods and low glycemic `acha-based' products for people with special health needs.
Ogunremi further said that the products have shown high consumer preference and acceptability while their production he said is highly profitable with the availability of raw materials locally.

I would really appreciate the assistance.

Diamondbacks open as moneyline underdog vs Cardinals
St. Louis Cardinals vs Arizona Diamondbacks Odds
Arizona will try to be nasty hosts on Monday when the St. Louis Cardinals pay a visit to Chase Field.
Arizona hands the ball to starter Ian Kennedy in this one and he'll try to improve on his 0-0 mark on the year. St. Louis counters with Adam Wainwright, who will try to quiet the fans and the Diamondbacks bats at the same time.
View St Louis vs Arizona Odds and Stats.
Betting Line:
The Cardinals were listed as 100 favorites on the baseball moneyline at many online sportsbooks. The total was set at 9 before betting started earlier on Monday.

How They Match Up:
At the plate, Arizona owns the No. 1 ranking for hits in the National League at 0 per game. By contrast, the Cardinals are rated No. 1 in the same category at 0 per game.
Comparing defensive stats, St. Louis owns the National League's No. 1-rated road mark, allowing 0 runs per game on the highway. Arizona, on the other hand, rates No. 1 in scoring at home.
In their last action, St. Louis was a 9-0 loser on the road against the Giants. Bettors on San Francisco at -131 on the moneyline collected their winnings from that game, while the total score (9) sent OVER bettors home happy as well. The Cardinals were shut out in their last start, struggling to get much going against the San Francisco staff and losing 9-0 to the Giants on Monday at AT&T Park.
Last time out for Arizona, they were a 2-1 loser as they battled the Rockies at home. Moneyline bettors who got the Rockies at +190 were rewarded, while the 3 combined runs moved the game UNDER for totals bettors.

Local woman killed in domestic dispute
A local man is behind bars in connection with a shooting that claimed the life of a woman in west Shreveport Monday night.
At about 9:20 p.m., Shreveport patrol officers responded to the 3600 block of Redbud Lane in reference to gunshots being fired in the area.
When officers arrived, a witness reported hearing a woman screaming and then at least one gunshot.
Officers immediately launched an investigation and subsequently discovered an adult female lying under the carport of a home located in the 3500 block of Valley View Drive.
The victim, later identified as 41-year-old Karen Johnson, was suffering from at least one gun shot wound to the upper body and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Detectives and crime scene investigators were immediately dispatched, and, based upon information and evidence gathered in the early stages of their inquiry, were able to develop 41- year-old Anton C. Cooley of the 600 block of Damaka Drive in Shreveport as a suspect.
Authorities believe Cooley and the victim were involved in an ongoing romantic relationship and Cooley shot the victim during the course of some sort of domestic dispute.
Within short order, a police detective received a tip regarding Cooley's whereabouts and took him into custody without incident.
Police also recovered the weapon they believe was used to commit the crime.
Cooley was booked into the Shreveport City Jail on a charge of second-degree murder.
