A Gallup Poll conducted between 2001 and 2007 revealed that 93 percent of the world's Muslim population believed the 9-11 Attacks were unjustified. Another study found that one-in-three al-Qaeda terrorist plots were disrupted with the aid of Muslim Americans. Muslims speak out against terrorism all the time, yet, public officials often ask the same question: "Why don't Muslims speak out against terrorism?" According to one professor, it really isn't a question but a condemnation, because it "wrongly assumes Islam is the driving force behind terrorism."
Guest: Todd Green, an associate professor of religion at Luther College in Decorah, Iowa.

We're in the village centre in Juliénas, south of the area where the appellation of the same name is produced. The municipality gets its name from no less a figure than Julius Caesar!
I'm in front of what used to be a church. As you can see, it is now a winery. Grower and wine merchant Victor Peyret had it converted in 1954. Peyret also did a lot to promote Juliénas wines. For example, he took the wines to Paris and introduced them to journalists at the Canard Enchaîné newspaper.
But Juliénas' reputation is mainly down to the quality of its wine, made from grapes grown on the sunny slopes of Mont Bessay in the north of the Beaujolais region.
The vines are grown on hillsides at between 230 and 430 metres above sea level, on mainly poor, stony soils with low yields. The grapes are rich and concentrated and give well-structured, harmonious wines. They can be kept for up to 10 years.
Enjoy a Juliénas wine with grilled red meat like a good entrecote or steak.

Minister of Regional Development and Construction Vladimir Yatsuba in May said that he was going near Kiev build cheap houses for some unknown in Ukraine, foreign technologies.
Whether he had himself not fully understand the issues, or failed to explain all the journalists, but in the end the media reported that the need of housing Ukrainians will settle in the cheap drywall houses. Later, it became apparent that technology and design of the project has become entangled all the ministry wrote Ugmk.info.
The Minister promised to Canada
Announcing the construction drywall homes Yatsuba then explained that under Kiev is a pilot project on construction of several streets with cheap houses, created a special technology that will halve the cost compared to traditional ones. However, he categorically rejected the very term "gipsokartnonnye home", saying that the plasterboard - this is just one of the cheap finishing materials to be used in this case.
"We have about 28 choices of different technologies that can help you get cheaper construction costs. This is both American and Canadian, and other technologies that are widely used in the world, but so far not been applied in Ukraine ", - he explained.
Yatsuba colorfully described the serene life of those same Canadians and Americans who live happily in a small country cottages, presenting it as a paradise for the Ukrainians who are unable to raise funds even in the old "Khrushchev".
However, Ukrainians no one will sell the spacious individual cottages with a cozy patio at a price of 4 thousand UAH. per square. m. plans Minregionstroya means that it will be low-rise residential construction. That is, neighborhoods with houses in the 2-3, a maximum of 4 floors with apartments economy option.
The minister said he had already been agreed with the businessmen who are ready to download (for later sale) implement a pilot project in selected States, 5 hectares of land in the Kiev region. "Square" housing in the new building should cost about 3-4 thousand UAH. And ready apartments for sale - about $ 23 thousand
By fall of this year, according to the promise V. Yatsuba, the test must be street ready and brought to court potential buyers. And to get their attention, the minister promised to personally make a real test drive for the needy in our own roof over your head, allowing for free to live in these houses for several days. "Until a man will live in this house, do not touch all his own hands, he believes that this is a papier-mache" - he said.
But shortly after the announcement of the Minister, his deputy Dmitry Isaenko reported another case scenario. As it turned out, no one to settle in cheap houses near Kiev will not, and did not intend.
According chinovnkia, leadership Minregionstroya intends to create a mid-autumn in Kiev, a permanent exhibition, which will be presented to all existing in the country of individual housing construction technology and applied them to the energy-saving system, and promised a cheap houses will only constantly active sites of exposure.
It is possible that the Office decided not to implement such a significant project on the road Kiev land-for-sale need it feasible for people in their prices. According to the press service of the Minregionstroya, recently appealed to the leadership of the Office of Expocentre of Ukraine to consider the possibility of allocating 2.5 hectares of land for the project's organization and is now awaiting a response.
But in this case do not understand why create such an exhibition, and to whom it is intended: the need for affordable housing, Minregionstroy to help him determine the best technology, or to advertise the most business?
The press service explained that this project will popularize low-cost housing, which is not worse than the traditional, as well as to ensure the availability of advanced technologies in construction.
The fact of caring about the citizens as if they do not deny, but did not explain what relationship the exhibition will have a program for the mass construction of affordable housing. B. Yatsuba explicitly states that solve their housing problems, the Ukrainians are likely to have single-handedly.
"We must explain that the state can not solve the housing problem" - he said, advising families with an income of about 4 thousand UAH. to take land and build houses with their own hands.
With the new products long been familiar
It is noteworthy that there is no novelty for Ukrainian consumers in the proposed project Minregionstroya not and can not be. This is the usual slight modification of the Canadian technology, which has been used successfully not only in the world, but also in Ukraine.
Its essence is that the outside frame house is sheathed OSB products (extruded large chips) are mounted inside sheets of plasterboard, and insulation is placed in the middle of the mineral, basalt or glass wool.
In Ukraine there are already more than a dozen construction companies that offer services for the construction of just such a category of houses. Similar projects have been implemented in the Crimea, Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk and Kharkov regions.
However, the Ukrainian experience, do not seem inspired by the minister. Such a "grand idea", he burst into flames, just staying in Hungary, where he saw the house of 54 square meters. m $ 22 thousand since finishing. Moreover, the minister stressed that other alternatives for the construction of affordable housing there.
Deny that there are many pluses Canadian technology compared to traditional in Ukraine is impossible. First, it really makes sense to talk about cost savings in this building.
Secondly, the huge advantage of Canadian technology is the duration of erection of such housing. Thus, assembly work crew of 3-4 people without the use of complex equipment could easily run for only 1-2 months.
In addition, gypsum board interior finish is much easier, and the houses differ sufficiently high rate of saving. Thermal conductivity are 5-8 times better than brick. According to estimates MinZhKH, heating of such homes to 50-60 square meters. m in winter will cost around 300 UAH.
In addition, Canada's climate is similar to ours, so I am sure the Minister, once the Canadians quietly kept tridtsatigradusnye frosts in the cottages, the Ukrainians, too, can not be afraid to freeze.
At the same time to take care of good ventilation for the "Canadian" houses, so there was no dampness and stuffiness.
Experts also point to his high fire danger and the fact that, despite the certification of the components of the building is still in small quantities produce dangerous phenols and microscopic dust. Paves the way for installation of plumbing and electrical wiring are not always satisfied with the consumer, and their replacement with either too costly or impossible. Over the years, in a house like an unpleasant squeak of a large wooden design.
Such housing has a limited life - about 50 years. This period is probably very small for the Ukrainians, who are used to buy houses with the expectation that live in it will be their children and grandchildren.
In addition, the Canadian technology can build houses with a maximum height of 4 storeys, while the two regular 9-etazhkah can safely resettle residents in the cottage area of ??10 hectares. Given the high cost of land in major cities and their surrounding areas, to construct such districts will most likely at a distance from them. Since the jobs for all residents of the town side by side is not there, they will spend on the road every day for several hours.

My Sienna has had a problem with the passenger door panel getting caught on the door sill. From outside the vehicle the door will not open. In opening the door, the panel tears. They insist it had to have been impacted by something. Yet there is no damage to anything other than the panel which has torn. They will not replace it under warranty. They can see that the door sill on the bottom is raised, but they will not admit fault. They have lost any future business for Toyota or any dealership Joseph is involved with. Oh what a feeling indeed. I have also had numerous issues with alignment that are still unresolved. and now I'm getting a rattling noise from what seems like the driver's side sliding door. ENOUGH!
I'm trading this piece of junk in for a Ford!

Last updated 2/15/2019 at 9:31am
The Fallbrook Public Utility District re-bid the re-coating of the district's Sandia and Bucknell reservoirs, and the second round of bids gave FPUD a satisfactory expenditure to award.

Stucco Painting & Restoration
Restoring The Colour On A Stucco Exterior
Stucco is a great choice for the exterior of homes and other structures. Made from a mixture of cement, lime and silica stucco is applied in several layers over wood or metal lath. Those layers laid one over the other do a great job of insulating against cold, heat and noise. Stucco is also fire resistant, so the structure is more protected than a structure with other types of siding.
Another benefit to stucco is that pigment can be blended into the mixture to create the perfect desired color. The colored layer of stucco is the last layer that is applied. So, the desired color is incorporated into the final layer and thus there is no painted surface to chip or peel. Because the pigment is mixed into the stucco there is no paint barrier created and the stucco is able to breath and being able to breath is critical to the life of the stucco and the well being of the structure.
Stucco is very durable and should last for decades. However, at some point the stucco will need to be freshened up to keep the structure looking its best and performing well. At this point, it is important to remember the just painting the stucco is not a good choice. Remember the stucco has to breath. To restore the stucco exterior, the first step is to gently power wash the surface. The next step involves applying a very thin coat of a mixture of Portland cement, water and pigment. Portland cement is concrete, lime, and water. There is no sand in the mixture.
Now, for some creativity, one might consider changing the color of the new stucco to be applied. Perhaps changing the color of the stucco will update the appearance and even value of the structure. The original color that was chosen may be dated and not currently popular. Perhaps a new color will fit in better with the surrounding neighborhood. It is easy enough to add pigment to the concrete mixture and create whatever new and fresh color is appealing. This could also be the time to create a different texture to the walls to create a newer and more modern feel to the look of the structure.
All that being said, the most important recommendation in regards to updating or restoring stucco is to hire a professional. Applying a new layer of stucco to a structure is not a DIY project. A professional will discuss what color and texture options are possible, but once that is decided, let the professional do the work for a truly beautiful and durable finish to be achieved.

Ipad mini : User Review
by Pauline He
iPad mini
(16 GB ) I got this device in the summer 2014 from Tallinn, Estonia. I got it because I been using apple products such as iPhone, MacBook and iPod for few year and I know that I can trust apple products because they last long. I also like the apple care services. Previously I owned tablet from another company and I always was struggling to connect my laptop with it (getting the pictures and files on my across was difficult task and took long time). Now My iPhone, iPad and MacBook are all connect to each other and it is very easy to access files through the iCloud on all of those devices. I also got it because I went for backpacking trip for few months and I didn't want to bring my laptop with me, so iPad was the perfect choice for it. Its small and light and does exactly what I needed for this trip. I was able to do my online banking trough it properly, booking the hostels and tickets and doing the research and also upload all my photos on iCloud from my camera using USB device that is meant for connecting iPad and memory cards.
The battery last around 4-5 hours. Recently I been using iPad at my lectures and at work. I can use my laptop to create the notes and slideshows etc. and I can access them trough iCloud while I'm at the lecture. My lectures are usually 4 x 45 minutes long and I never run out of battery (I use my notes, YouYube, Internet and slides during that time). I leave it to charge when I get home from university or from work for about 2-4 hours, probably it take less to charge but I just forget that it is charging. I also use it on bus rides and plane rides to play games or watch some photos and edit them. Battery hasn't let me down so far and it easily will last 3-4 hours.
I love that it is small and compatible, it fits in my bag and don't take up much room. It is much better to take iPad Mini to lectures than carry my laptop in an extra bag around with me all day long. iPad is very light and hands don't get tired after holding it a while. Even my relatives who are 4-8 years old play with it and its perfect for their small hands. It has been working really well since I got it, the speed is good all the buttons and touchscreen work perfectly. It also doesn't get really hot as well when playing games or watching videos of YouTube.
My iPad has been working good so far. I have dropped it on few occasions, some times quite badly on a floor (Im quite clumsy) and nothing hasn't happened. There is no scratches or marks on it and falls haven't damaged the way it works. I do have a protective case and the screen protector on it, so guess that it has helped to protect it from all the falls. Once I even knocked full glass over it (I did grab it from the water really quickly and made sure that the all holes are dry) it was soaked in water and it still worked fine after that. I never had to repair it or replace any parts of it. It is still working fine and there is no flaws with the device.
The best thing about it, is it's size. I like how small and light it is. It looks nice and girly. It does exactly what I need. It is perfect for lectures and perfect for travelling. It's battery life is good and lasts long time. Its important because sometimes it's hard to charge your device at the lectures (not enough plugs). iCloud is the other great thing about it. I like that I can access the files and photos on all my apple devices. It is very useful for my job. It also means that the 16GB is enough for it. No need to buy 64Gb if you are using an iCloud. Just store everything on there.
Camera isn't the best quality. It is OK for taking pictures of notes, posters, book cover to remind yourself something later on. But for taking good quality of photos it isn't good at all. Also when its bit more windy outside then it's hard to hold it still and it wobbles a lot in my hand. The movement will be captured on photos and they look really blurry and bad. I don't have a retina screen on iPad so after using my phone or laptop then I notice the difference between screens. You do get used to the screen after sometime but retina screens are better for eyes to look at, they are more clear and nicer.
I do like the device a lot. Its very portable and fits into most of my handbags and that is always a bonus. I always take it with me when I travel, I can do all my online work on this iPad while I'm on the road and there is no need to carry a laptop with me, which is heavy. I also like that I can use USB cable to upload my pictures on iCloud. So when I run of space on memory card I can always upload them on iPad and the pictures will be safe and sound in my iCloud.
I would give this iPad mini 16GB
just because it's not retina screen and the camera is not great.

a natural life term of imprisonment on the murder conviction
pursuant to an agreement he entered with the State.
Arizona Supreme Court described the facts of this case as
¶2 At approximately 2:00 p.m. on November 28, 1994, a
Wells Fargo armored van servicing Dillard's department
store at Arrowhead Mall was reported missing by Dave Moss,
the van's "hopper." At approximately 6:30
p.m. that same day, a Maricopa County Sheriff's deputy
discovered the missing van in the parking lot of a Sun City
church. All of the van's doors were locked, the engine
was running, and a body was slumped over on the passenger
side. The body was that of the van's driver, John Magoch,
who had been killed by a gunshot wound to the head.
¶3 Wells Fargo determined that its losses from the
robbery totaled $833, 798.12, of which $562, 877.91 was in
cash. Although no eyewitnesses to the crime came forward, one
person riding his bicycle in Sun City on the afternoon of the
robbery claimed to have seen a white van, followed by a red
pick-up truck, run a stop sign. This witness stated that one
man was driving the red truck while two people were in the
van. Another witness also saw a white van followed by a red
pick-up truck. Although she remembered one man driving the
van, she testified that either two or three men were in the
red truck.
¶4 Through information provided by an informant, the
Glendale Police Department contacted Judy Espinoza, who
believed that her boyfriend James Greenham and a friend of
Greenham's named "Tim" may have been involved
in the robbery. "Tim" later turned out to be
Defendant-Timothy Ring. Glendale Police interviewed Espinoza
on December 30, 1994. Espinoza stated that when she heard
about the robbery on the radio, she remembered that a week
before Greenham had asked her what she would do "if he
hit an Armored car." Espinoza also remembered that,
although Greenham had been staying with her, he was not at
home on the night of the robbery and during that week he was
"very stressed out." In addition, shortly after
the robbery, Greenham handed Espinoza a bag of rolled coins
totaling approximately $250 and gave Espinoza's mother
$800 in cash to pay bills. Finally, Espinoza informed the
police that Greenham's friend Tim owned a red truck.
About a week before the interview with police, Greenham had
stopped dating Espinoza and had moved out of her home.
¶5 While conducting surveillance of Greenham, the police
noticed that he appeared to be riding a new motorcycle.
Random phone calls to motorcycle dealerships revealed that,
in December 1994, Greenham and Defendant made large cash
purchases at Metro Motor Sports. Specifically, Defendant
bought two ATVs and a motorcycle from the dealership for $7,
500 and $7, 300, respectively. Over the next several weeks,
Defendant and Greenham both made many more expensive
purchases, all of them cash transactions. Wiretaps on certain
telephones belonging to Defendant and Greenham began on
January 9, 1995. On January 21, 1995, Defendant called
William Ferguson and discussed Greenham's purchase of a
new truck, the trouble this caused with Greenham's
ex-wife, and what impact that trouble might have on their
plans "up north." In that call, Defendant
threatened to "cut off" Greenham's supply, as
Defendant held "both his and mine." The two also
talked about disappearing for two years after "up north
happens, " then reuniting in Las Vegas. Four days
later, Ferguson bought a new motorcycle for $8, 700 cash,
paying in fifty and one-hundred dollar bills.
¶6 On January 26, 1995, Greenham called Defendant's
pager and entered the following code: 20*2000*04. He followed
that call with another code: 50*5000*04. In conversations
between Defendant and Ferguson, Defendant had referred to
Greenham as "zero four." Later that day,
Defendant asked Greenham, "The two pages you sent ...
those are your requests, is that right?" To which
Greenham responded, "Yeah."
¶7 As part of the investigation of Defendant,
arrangements were made with Waste Management Company to
perform a "trash cover, " enabling investigators
to sort through and survey Defendant's waste. During this
process, police acquired two notecards, written by Defendant,
with addresses of businesses serviced by Loomis Armored Cars,
as well as numbers corresponding to Loomis trucks. Defendant
was employed by Loomis in 1988-89 and, at trial, claimed that
the notecards pertained to his employment at that time.
¶8 The police then attempted to generate discussion
between the conspirators about the robbery. On January 31,
1995, the police issued a news release that was aired on
local television stations. Defendant called Greenham at
approximately 10:30 that evening and left a message on
Greenham's answering machine to "remind me to talk
to you tomorrow and tell you what was on the news tonight.
Very important, and also fairly good." A few days
later, Detective Tom Clayton from the Glendale Police
Department left his business card on the door of
Greenham's residence, requesting that Greenham call and
"refer to lead 176." In response, Greenham made
an emotional, panicked telephone call to Defendant. Greenham
also apparently called his ex-wife, who was so concerned
about his well-being that she asked Phoenix Police to visit
Greenham's apartment to check on him. Coincidentally,
Defendant stopped by Greenham's apartment at the same
time. Defendant later discussed this incident with Ferguson,
telling him "I don't know what to think of it. Uhm,
his house is clean. Mine, on the other hand, contains a very
large bag." Later that same day, Defendant also said,
"it doesn't really make a whole lot of sense,
because given the information that they do have, both public
and what I've been able to ascertain privately ... if
they were gonna come after somebody, it would be me."
Ferguson ended the call by saying that he would "keep a
suitcase packed."
¶9 On February 14, 1995, the police again attempted to
generate conversation by airing a "Silent
Witness" re-enactment on the local news that contained
several deliberately incorrect details about the robbery and
murder. Defendant called Ferguson at 10:51 p.m. to talk about
the broadcast. Ferguson claimed to have "laughed my ass
off" and said he was "not real worried at all
now." Defendant stated that "there's only one
thing that slightly concerns me, " and asked,
"What if push comes to shove down the months and they
ask for hair and fibers, so forth, and it happens to
somehow...." Later in the conversation, Defendant said,
"there was a couple of in continuities (sic) to their
story.... They showed a suppressed revolver of all
¶10 Two days later, on February 16, 1995, a search
warrant was served on Defendant's residence. Police found
a homemade sound suppressor attached to a Ruger 1022 rifle
barrel behind the hot water heater in a corner of
Defendant's garage. Also in the garage, inside a storage
cabinet, police discovered a green duffel bag with
Defendant's name on it. The bag contained bundles of
United States currency totaling $271, 681. Defendant also had
$1, 040 in a headboard in the master bedroom. In a notebook
found in the same headboard, police discovered a post-it note
that had the number "575, 995" on it. Below the
number was the word "splits, " with the three
letters "F, " "Y, " and "T,
" and numbers below the letters totaling 575, 995,
which is remarkably similar to the total cash amount taken in
the robbery. An expert testified that this note was written
by Defendant. Greenham's friends often called him
"Yoda"; thus, argued the state, the
"Y" represented Greenham, the "F" was
for Ferguson, and the "T" stood for Defendant. A
search warrant served on Ferguson's residence also turned
up $62, 601. Approximately $200 was found at Greenham's
¶11 In his own defense, Defendant claimed to have made
more than $100, 000 as a confidential informant for the FBI.
However, an agent for that agency testified that Defendant
was only paid a total of $458. In addition, Defendant
testified that his income included money made as a bounty
hunter and gunsmith. However, Defendant only made $3, 500
working for Don's Bail Bonds in 1993 and while working
one month for A-1 Bail Bonds in 1994 was paid $1, 600.

filed a notice of post-conviction relief (PCR) in September
2007. (Exh. E.) Petitioner's PCR petition raised two
theories for relief, but alleged multiple claims under each
theory: ineffective assistance of counsel and prosecutorial
misconduct. (Exhs. F, I.) The trial court dismissed some of
the claims finding them not colorable. (Exh. F.) The court
ordered an evidentiary hearing on Petitioner's remaining
claims. (Exh. F.) After an evidentiary hearing, the court
denied the remaining claims, and dismissed the petition.
(Exh. G.) Petitioner filed a petition for review of the
dismissal of his PCR petition with the Arizona Court of
Appeals. (Exh. B, K.) The appellate court granted review, but
denied relief. (Exh. B.) The Arizona Supreme Court denied
Petitioner's petition for review. (Exh. H.)
has filed a 471-page habeas petition with 435 pages of
accompanying exhibits. Petitioner names Charles L. Ryan as
Respondent and the Arizona Attorney General as an additional
Respondent. Petitioner raises seven grounds for relief. In
Ground One, Petitioner alleges violation of his Fourth,
Fifth, and Fourteenth Amendment rights, and federal statutory
law, in connection with wiretap orders. (Doc. 1 at 6.) In
Ground Two, Petitioner alleges that his Fifth, Sixth, and
Fourteenth Amendment rights were violated when he was denied
the right to present a third party defense. (Doc. 1-1 at 1.)
In Ground Three, he alleges that his Fifth and Fourteenth
Amendment rights were violated based upon insufficient
evidence. (Doc. 1-2 at 1.) In Ground Four, Petitioner alleges
that his Fifth and Fourteenth Amendment rights were violated
where the post-conviction review court precluded
newly-discovered ballistics evidence. (Doc. 1-3 at 1.) In
Ground Five, he alleges prosecutorial misconduct in violation
of his Fifth and Fourteenth Amendment rights. (Doc. 1-5 at
1.). In Ground Six, Petitioner alleges that he was denied the
effective assistance of counsel in violation of his Sixth
Amendment rights. (Doc. 1-10 at 1.) In Ground Seven,
Petitioner alleges that he was denied the effective
assistance of counsel during post-conviction proceedings in
violation of his Sixth and Fourteenth Amendment rights. (Doc.
1-12 at 1.)
their Answer, Respondents argue: (1) Grounds One and Three
are procedurally defaulted; (2) Grounds Two, Four, and Seven
fail to state a cognizable claim; and (3) Petitioner's
remaining claims fail on the merits.
Standards of Review 1. Exhaustion and
Procedural Default
A state
prisoner must exhaust his remedies in state court before
petitioning for a writ of habeas corpus in federal court.
See 28 U.S.C. § 2254(b)(1) and (c); Duncan
v. Henry, 513 U.S. 364, 365-66 (1995); McQueary v.
Blodgett, 924 F.2d 829, 833 (9th Cir. 1991).
To properly exhaust state remedies, a petitioner must fairly
present his claims to the state's highest court in a
procedurally appropriate manner. See O'Sullivan v.
Boerckel, 526 U.S. 838, 839-46 (1999). In Arizona, a
petitioner must fairly present his claims to the Arizona
Court of Appeals by properly pursuing them through the
state's direct appeal process or through appropriate
post-conviction relief. See Swoopes v. Sublett, 196
F.3d 1008, 1010 (9thCir. 1999); Roettgen v.
Copeland, 33 F.3d 36, 38 (9th Cir. 1994).
exhaustion requires a petitioner to have "fairly
presented" to the state courts the exact federal claim
he raises on habeas by describing the operative facts and
federal legal theory upon which the claim is based. See,
e.g., Picard v. Connor, 404 U.S. 270, 275-78
(1971) ("[W]e have required a state prisoner to present
the state courts with the same claim he urges upon the
federal courts."). A claim is only "fairly
presented" to the state courts when a petitioner has
"alert[ed] the state courts to the fact that [he] was
asserting a claim under the United States
Constitution." Shumway v. Payne, 223 F.3d 982,
987 (9th Cir. 2000) (quotations omitted); see
Johnson v. Zenon, 88 F.3d 828, 830 (9th Cir.
1996) ("If a petitioner fails to alert the state court
to the fact that he is raising a federal constitutional
claim, his federal claim is unexhausted regardless of its
similarity to the issues raised in state court.").
"general appeal to a constitutional guarantee, "
such as due process, is insufficient to achieve fair
presentation. Shumway, 223 F.3d at 987 (quoting
Gray v. Netherland, 518 U.S. 152, 163 (1996));
see Castillo v. McFadden, 399 F.3d 993, 1003
(9th Cir. 2005) ("Exhaustion demands more
than drive-by citation, detached from any articulation of an
underlying federal legal theory."). Similarly, a
federal claim is not exhausted merely because its factual
basis was presented to the state courts on state law grounds
- a "mere similarity between a claim of state and
federal error is insufficient to establish exhaustion."
Shumway, 223 F.3d at 988 (quotations omitted);
see Picard, 404 U.S. at 275-77.
when a claim's federal basis is "self-evident,
" or the claim would have been decided on the same
considerations under state or federal law, a petitioner must
still present the federal claim to the state courts
explicitly, "either by citing federal law or the
decisions of federal courts." Lyons v.
Crawford, 232 F.3d 666, 668 (9th Cir. 2000)
(quotations omitted), amended by 247 F.3d 904
(9th Cir. 2001); see Baldwin v. Reese,
541 U.S. 27, 32 (2004) (claim not fairly presented when state
court "must read beyond a petition or a brief ... that
does not alert it to the presence of a federal claim"
to discover implicit federal claim).
a federal habeas court generally may not review a claim if
the state court's denial of relief rests upon an
independent and adequate state ground. See Coleman
v. Thompson, 501 U.S. 722, 731-32 (1991). The United
States Supreme Court has explained:
In the habeas context, the application of the independent and
adequate state ground doctrine is grounded in concerns of
comity and federalism. Without the rule, a federal district
court would be able to do in habeas what this Court could not
do on direct review; habeas would offer state prisoners whose
custody was supported by independent and adequate state
grounds an end run around the limits of this Court's
jurisdiction and a means to undermine the State's
interest in enforcing its laws.
Id. at 730-31. A petitioner who fails to follow a
state's procedural requirements for presenting a valid
claim deprives the state court of an opportunity to address
the claim in much the same manner as a petitioner who fails
to exhaust his state remedies. Thus, in order to prevent a
petitioner from subverting the exhaustion requirement by
failing to follow state procedures, a claim not presented to
the state courts in a procedurally correct manner is deemed
procedurally defaulted, and is generally barred from habeas
relief. See id. at 731-32.
may be procedurally barred from federal habeas review based
upon a variety of factual circumstances. If a state court
expressly applied a procedural bar when a petitioner
attempted to raise the claim in state court, and that state
procedural bar is both
"independent"[1] and
"adequate"[2] - review of the merits of the claim by a
federal habeas court is ordinarily barred. See Ylst v.
Nunnemaker, 501 U.S. 797, 801 (1991) ("When a
state-law default prevents the state court from reaching the
merits of a federal claim, that claim can ordinarily not be
reviewed in federal court.") (citing Wainwright v.
Sykes, 433 U.S. 72, 87-88 (1977) and Murray v.
Carrier, 477 U.S. 478, 485-492 (1986)).
if a state court applies a procedural bar, but goes on to
alternatively address the merits of the federal claim, the
claim is still barred from federal review. See Harris v.
Reed, 489 U.S. 255, 264 n.10 (1989) ("[A] state
court need not fear reaching the merits of a federal claim in
an alternative holding. By its very definition, the
adequate and independent state ground doctrine requires the
federal court to honor a state holding that is a sufficient
basis for the state court's judgment, even when the state
court also relies on federal law. ... In this way, a state
court may reach a federal question without sacrificing its
interests in finality, federalism, and comity.")
(citations omitted); Bennett v. Mueller, 322 F.3d
573, 580 (9th Cir. 2003) ("A state
court's application of a procedural rule is not
undermined where, as here, the state court simultaneously
rejects the merits of the claim.") (citing
Harris, 489 U.S. at 264 n.10).
procedural bar may also be applied to unexhausted claims
where state procedural rules make a return to state court
futile. See Coleman, 501 U.S. at 735 n.1 (claims are
barred from habeas review when not first raised before state
courts and those courts "would now find the claims
procedurally barred"); Franklin v. Johnson,
290 F.3d 1223, 1230-31 (9th Cir. 2002)
("[T]he procedural default rule barring consideration
of a federal claim 'applies only when a state court has
been presented with the federal claim, ' but declined to
reach the issue for procedural reasons, or 'if it is
clear that the state court would hold the claim procedurally
barred.'") (quoting Harris, 489 U.S. at
263 n.9).
in Arizona, claims not previously presented to the state
courts via either direct appeal or collateral review are
generally barred from federal review because an attempt to
return to state court to present them is futile unless the
claims fit in a narrow category of claims for which a
successive petition is permitted. See Ariz.R.Crim.P.
32.1(d)-(h), 32.2(a) (precluding claims not raised on appeal
or in prior petitions for post-conviction relief), 32.4(a)
(time bar), 32.9(c) (petition for review must be filed within
thirty days of trial court's decision). Arizona courts
have consistently applied Arizona's procedural rules to
bar further review of claims that were not raised on direct
appeal or in prior Rule 32 post-conviction proceedings.
See, e.g., Stewart, 536 U.S. at 860 (determinations
made under Arizona's procedural default rule are
"independent" of federal law); Smith v.
Stewart, 241 F.3d 1191, 1195 n.2 (9th Cir.
2001) ("We have held that Arizona's procedural
default rule is regularly followed ["adequate"]
in several cases.") (citations omitted), reversed
on other grounds, Stewart v. Smith, 536 U.S.
856 (2002); see also Ortiz v. Stewart, 149 F.3d 923,
931-32 (9thCir. 1998) (rejecting argument that
Arizona courts have not "strictly or regularly
followed" Rule 32 of the Arizona Rules of Criminal
Procedure); State v. Mata, 185 Ariz. 319, 334-36,
916 P.2d 1035, 1050-52 (Ariz. 1996) (waiver and preclusion
rules strictly applied in post-conviction proceedings).
the doctrine of procedural default is based on comity, not
jurisdiction, federal courts retain the power to consider the
merits of procedurally defaulted claims. See Reed v.
Ross, 468 U.S. 1, 9 (1984). The federal court will not
consider the merits of a procedurally defaulted claim unless
a petitioner can demonstrate that a miscarriage of justice
would result, or establish cause for his noncompliance and
actual prejudice. See Schlup v. Delo, 513 U.S. 298,
321 (1995); Coleman, 501 U.S. at 750-51;
Murray, 477 U.S. at 495-96. Pursuant to the
"cause and prejudice" test, a petitioner must
point to some external cause that prevented him from
following the procedural rules of the state court and fairly
presenting his claim. "A showing of cause must
ordinarily turn on whether the prisoner can show that some
objective factor external to the defense impeded [the
prisoner's] efforts to comply with the State's
procedural rule. Thus, cause is an external impediment such
as government interference or reasonable unavailability of a
claim's factual basis." Robinson v.
Ignacio, 360 F.3d 1044, 1052 (9th Cir. 2004)
(citations and internal quotations omitted). Ignorance of the
State's procedural rules or other forms of general
inadvertence or lack of legal training and a petitioner's
mental condition do not constitute legally cognizable
"cause" for a petitioner's failure to fairly
present his claim. Regarding the "miscarriage of
justice, " the Supreme Court has made clear that a
fundamental miscarriage of justice exists when a
Constitutional violation has resulted in the conviction of
one who is actually innocent. See Murray, 477 U.S.
at 495-96. Additionally, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §
2254(b)(2), the court may dismiss plainly meritless claims
regardless of whether the claim was properly exhausted in
state court. See Rhines v. Weber, 544 U.S. 269, 277
(2005) (holding that a stay is inappropriate in federal court
to allow claims to be raised in state court if they are
subject to dismissal under § 2254(b)(2) as
"plainly meritless").
to the AEDPA[3], a federal court "shall not"
grant habeas relief with respect to "any claim that was
adjudicated on the merits in State court proceedings"
unless the state court decision was (1) contrary to, or an
unreasonable application of, clearly established federal law
as determined by the United States Supreme Court; or (2)
based on an unreasonable determination of the facts in light
of the evidence presented in the state court proceeding.
See 28 U.S.C. § 2254(d); Williams v.
Taylor, 529 U.S. 362, 412-13 (2000) (O'Connor, J.,
concurring and delivering the opinion of the Court as to the
AEDPA standard of review). This standard is "difficult
to meet." Harrington v. Richter, 562 U.S. 86,
102 (2011). It is also a "highly deferential standard
for evaluating state court rulings, which demands that state
court decisions be given the benefit of the doubt."
Woodford v. Visciotti, 537 U.S. 19, 24 (2002) (per
curiam) (citation and internal quotation marks omitted).
"When applying these standards, the federal court
should review the 'last reasoned decision' by a
state court ... ." Robinson, 360 F.3d at 1055.
A state
court's decision is "contrary to" clearly
established precedent if (1) "the state court applies a
rule that contradicts the governing law set forth in [Supreme
Court] cases, " or (2) "if the state court
confronts a set of facts that are materially
indistinguishable from a decision of [the Supreme Court] and
nevertheless arrives at a result different from [its]
precedent." Williams, 529 U.S. at 404-05.
"A state court's decision can involve an
'unreasonable application' of Federal law if it
either 1) correctly identifies the governing rule but then
applies it to a new set of facts in a way that is objectively
unreasonable, or 2) extends or fails to extend a clearly
established legal principle to a new context in a way that is
objectively unreasonable." Hernandez v. Small,
282 F.3d 1132, 1142 (9th Cir. 2002).
Grounds One and Three
Ground One, Petitioner alleges a violation of his Fourth,
Fifth, and Fourteenth Amendment rights, as well as, federal
statutory law, in connection with wiretap orders. (Doc. 1 at
6.) Specifically, Petitioner contends that the "State
obtained multiple wiretap orders through the use of police
and FBI perjury, before any other traditional investigative
techniques were attempted, in violation of U.S. Title III
(Wiretap Act), federal law, and due process under the
5th and 14th Amendments, as well as the
4th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution."
Ground Three, Petitioner alleges that his Fifth and
Fourteenth Amendment rights were violated based upon
insufficient evidence. (Doc. 1-2 at 1.) Petitioner claims
that his "convictions and death sentence were upheld
through accomplice liability despite a fundamental
insufficiency of evidence of [Petitioner] or either of
[Petitioner's] codefendants being placed at the crime
scene, in violation of due process under the 5th
and 14thAmendments of the U.S. Constitution, and
established federal law."
failed to fairly present the claims alleged in Grounds One
and Three to the state courts. Indeed, Petitioner did not
allege, and the state courts did not construe or consider,
any allegations regarding violations of Petitioner's
Fourth, Fifth, and Fourteenth Amendment rights, as well as,
federal statutory law, in connection with wiretap orders, or
allegations regarding violations of Petitioner's Fifth
and Fourteenth Amendment rights due to insufficient evidence.
(Exhs. I (PCR Petition), F (Minute Entry), G (Minute Entry),
K (Petition for Review), B (Memorandum Decision).); see
State v. Ring, 25 P.3d 1139 (Ariz. 2001). Failure to
fairly present Grounds One and Three has resulted in
procedural default because Petitioner is now barred from
returning to state courts. See Ariz.R.Crim.P.
32.2(a), 32.4(a).
a procedural default may be overcome upon a showing of cause
and prejudice or a fundamental miscarriage of justice,
see Coleman, 501 U.S. at 750-51, Petitioner has not
established that any exception to procedural default applies.
And, Petitioner's status as an inmate, lack of legal
knowledge and assistance, and limited legal resources do not
establish cause to excuse the procedural bar. See Hughes
v. Idaho State Bd. of Corr., 800 F.2d 905, 909
(9th Cir. 1986) (an illiterate pro se
petitioner's lack of legal assistance did not amount to
cause to excuse a procedural default); Tacho v.
Martinez, 862 F.2d 1376, 1381 (9th Cir. 1988)
(petitioner's reliance upon jailhouse lawyers did not
constitute cause). Accordingly, Petitioner has not shown
cause for his procedural default.
has also not established a fundamental miscarriage of
justice. A federal court may review the merits of a
procedurally defaulted claim if the petitioner demonstrates
that failure to consider the merits of that claim will result
in a "fundamental miscarriage of justice."
Schlup, 513 U.S. at 327. The standard for
establishing a Schlup procedural gateway claim is
"demanding." House v. Bell, 547 U.S.
518, 538 (2006). The petitioner must present "evidence
of innocence so strong that a court cannot have confidence in
the outcome of the trial." Schlup, 513 U.S. at
316. Under Schlup, to overcome the procedural hurdle
created by failing to properly present his claims to the
state courts, a petitioner "must demonstrate that the
constitutional violations he alleges ha[ve] probably resulted
in the conviction of one who is actually innocent, such that
a federal court's refusal to hear the defaulted claims
would be a 'miscarriage of justice.'"
House, 547 U.S. at 555-56 (quoting Schlup,
513 at 326, 327). To meet this standard, a petitioner must
present "new reliable evidence - whether it be
exculpatory scientific evidence, trustworthy eyewitness
accounts, or critical physical evidence - that was not
presented at trial." Schlup, 513 U.S. at 324.
The petitioner has the burden of demonstrating that "it
is more likely than not that no reasonable juror would have
convicted him in light of the new evidence."
Id. at 327. Petitioner has failed to establish, let
alone allege, a sufficient showing of actual innocence to
establish a miscarriage of justice. Therefore, Petitioner
cannot excuse his procedural defaults on this basis.
Grounds Two, Four, and Seven
Ground Two, Petitioner alleges that his Fifth, Sixth, and
Fourteenth Amendment rights were violated when he "was
denied the right to present a third party defense."
(Doc. 1-1 at 1.) Although the specifics of Petitioner's
claim are difficult to pin down, Petitioner appears to argue
that the trial court erred by prohibiting the introduction of
third-party culpability evidence.
Ground Four, Petitioner alleges that his Fifth and Fourteenth
Amendment rights were violated where the post-conviction
review court "improperly precluded newly discovered
ballistics evidence that undermines [Petitioner's] felony
murder conviction." (Doc. 1-3 at 1.)
Ground Seven, Petitioner alleges that he was denied the
effective assistance of counsel during post-conviction
proceedings in violation of his Sixth and Fourteenth
Amendment rights. (Doc. 1-12 at 1.)
As to
Grounds Two and Four, the Court can grant habeas relief
"only on the ground that [a petitioner] is in custody
in violation of the Constitution or laws or treatises of the
United States." 28 U.S.C. § 2254(a). "[I]t
is not the province of a federal habeas court to reexamine
state-court determinations on state-law grounds."
Estelle v. McGuire, 502 U.S. 62, 67-68 (1991);
see Gilmore v. Taylor, 508 U.S. 333, 348-49 (1993)
("[M]ere error of state law, one that does not rise to
the level of a constitutional violation, may not be corrected
on federal habeas."); Lewis v. Jeffers, 497
U.S. 764, 780 (1990) ("[F]ederal habeas corpus relief
does not lie for errors of state law."). And, a
petitioner may not "transform a state law issue into a
federal one merely by asserting a violation of due
process." Poland v. Stewart, 169 F.3d 573, 584
(9th Cir. 1999) (quoting Langford v. Day,
110 F.3d 1380, 1389 (9th Cir. 1996)); see
Engle v. Isaac, 456 U.S. 107, 119-21 (1982)
("While they attempt to cast their first claim in
constitutional terms, we believe that this claim does no more
than suggest that the instructions at respondents' trials
may have violated state law.").
does not present a cognizable federal claim in Ground Two.
Although Petitioner attempts to transform his attack on a
state court evidentiary ruling as a constitutional denial of
his right to present a meaningful defense, he cannot
transform this state law issue into a federal one merely by
asserting a constitutional violation. See, e.g.,
Poland, 169 F.3d at 584. This alleged violation of
state law is not a claim that is cognizable on federal habeas
Petitioner also fails to assert a cognizable federal claim in
Ground Four. Again, whether a state evidentiary ruling is
correct or not does not constitute a claim cognizable on
federal habeas review. Further, to the extent Petitioner is
challenging the state post-conviction court's ruling on
alleged "newly discovered ballistics evidence, "
that claim is also not cognizable. Unless the collateral
review of a petitioner's conviction violated some
independent constitutional right, an alleged error in the
state collateral proceeding cannot form the basis for federal
habeas corpus relief. See, e.g., Franzen v.
Brinkman, 877 F.2d 26, 26 (9th Cir. 1989);
Montgomery v. Meloy, 90 F.3d 1200, 1206
(7th Cir. 1996). See also Sellers v.

Our narrow streets can't cope with a parking free-for-all. A residents' parking scheme would be better for everyone:
- Better for drivers – no need to circle the area for ages looking for a parking spot. Community surveys have shown there will be enough spaces for residents to park.
- Better for kids – quieter, emptier streets, more space to play, safer to cross the roads.
- Better for businesses – easier deliveries, customers and visitors can park in short-term spaces.
- Better for the community – more space for trees, benches and community events. Easier access for online shopping deliveries, recycling vehicles and emergency services.
- Better for the environment – fewer people driving around and around trying to find a space to park = less pollution. Streets that are safer and more inviting will encourage more people to walk or cycle to school and work. If our area is no longer advertised online as a free car park for visitors, then maybe some of them will travel by public transport instead.
The council's scheme isn't perfect and they still haven't listened to residents over street improvements that need to go in alongside the parking scheme, like dropped kerbs, cycle parking and street trees.
Your vote counts – each household has one vote, whether or not you have a car. The CPZ consultation affects everyone who lives here. Vote if you walk to school, use a bus, bike or pram, have mobility problems or can't find a space to park.
Say yes in the consultation and tell them what's important to you!

Nigeria's Emefiele Takes Credibility Knock -Bloomberg
Nigeria's central bank Governor Godwin Emefiele is at risk of losing credibility over a decision to ease monetary policy, while maintaining currency restrictions that are hurting the economy.
Emefiele, 54, reduced the benchmark interest rate by 2 percentage points to 11 percent on Tuesday and lowered the cash reserve ratio to 20 percent to help support an economy struggling to cope with falling oil revenue. With importers blocked from accessing dollars, the liquidity boost may do little to increase output in manufacturing and other industries, while fueling inflation.
"It is difficult to overstate the degree to which this is a highly unorthodox move," John Ashbourne, Africa economist at Capital Economics in London, said in a note to clients. "Nigeria faces high inflation, pressure on its currency, and it desperately needs to attract foreign capital to fund the current account deficit created by low oil prices. It is, in short, in exactly the sort of situation in which economists would generally expect – and recommend – tighter monetary policy."
Inflation Rate Increases Further in August to 13.22%
Prices of Goods and Services Jump in Nigeria in August
Nigeria's inflation rate rose further in the month of August to the highest since April 2018, according to the latest report from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS).
In the report released on Tuesday, the NBS said Consumer Price Index, which measures inflation rate, increase by 13.22 percent in the month under review.
This represents a 0.40 percent points increase from the 12.82 percent posted for the month of July.
On a monthly basis, consumer prices increased by 0.09 percent points from 1.25 per cent achieved in July to 1.34 percent in August 2020.
The report read in part, "The consumer price index, which measures inflation increased by 13.22 percent (year-on-year) in August 2020. This is 0.40 percent points higher than the rate recorded in July 2020 (12.82 percent).
"On a month-on-month basis, the headline index increased by 1.34 percent in August 2020. This is 0.09 per cent higher than the rate recorded in July 2020 (1.25 per cent)."
Rising costs continue to disrupt consumer spending in Africa's largest economy, especially after President Muhammadu Buhari removed subsidy, up VAT from 5 percent to 7.5 percent and implemented service reflective electricity tariff during a tough period of global pandemic.
Despite majority of Nigerians saying the time is wrong, experts have said it was the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank that compelled the administration to up revenue generation in order to continue to service its debt and embark on necessary capital projects.
With the $3.4 billion loan secured from the IMF in May running out amid falling oil price and weak demand for the commodity, the Buhari led administration once again approached the World Bank for another loan of $1.5 billion to further cushion the negative impacts of COVID-19.
According to the people familiar with the process, the new loan is not receiving much attention from the multilateral financial institution as it insisted that some of the agreement reached with the International Monetary Fund before securing the $3.4 billion have not been implemented.
This, experts said was one of the main reasons the federal government made all the recent adjustments despite economic challenges and limitations.
The food index increase from 15.48 percent in July to 16 percent in the month of August, according to the statistics office.
"This rise in the food index was caused by increases in prices of bread and cereals, potatoes, yam and other tubers, meat, fish, fruits, oils and fats and vegetables," it added.
The persistent increase in prices bolstered cost of living and plunged consumer spending in Africa's largest economy due to broad-based layoffs and businesses shutting down operations for a safe haven.
NNPC Says It Spent N41.98 Billion on Pipeline Repairs in Six Months
NNPC Spends N41.98 Billion on Pipeline Repairs
The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has said it spent a total sum of N41.98 billion on pipeline repairs and management in the first six months of the year.
The corporation stated in its latest monthly oil report, saying "Products theft and vandalism have continued to destroy value and put NNPC at disadvantaged competitive position."
It explained that a total of 1,067 pipeline points were vandalised between June 2019 and June 2020 with 33 of those vandalised in June 2020. That was 11 percent lower than the 37 points vandalised in the month of May.
The NNPC said, "Mosimi-Ibadan accounted for 33 per cent while ATC-Mosimi and Warri-River Niger recorded 27 per cent of the breaks each; other locations make up for the remaining 13 per cent.
"NNPC in collaboration with the local communities and other stakeholders continuously strive to reduce and eventually eliminate this menace."
Further break down showed the NNPC spent N5.48 billion on pipeline repairs and management costs in the month of January 2020. In February, March, April, May and June of the same year, the corporation spent N6.74 billion; N7.69 billion; N7.84 billion; N7.99 billion and N6.24 billion, respectively.
The corporation also said the pipelines have aged over the years, therefore, giving rise to frequent failures and consequent operational downtimes.
"In addition, these facilities have aged over the years giving rise to frequent failures and consequent operational downtimes, high maintenance cost and revenue losses," the NNPC added.
Supporting Public Private Partnerships in Africa: African Development Bank Ready to Scale up
The African Development Bank Estimates Africa's Infrastructure Financing Needs at up to $170bn a year by 2025
Representatives of the African Development Bank, governments, Development Finance Institutions, the private sector and professional associations joined a September 8 workshop to discuss how the Bank can strengthen support for Public Private Partnerships and channel greater investment toward economic and social infrastructure. The event, titled Designing the African Development Bank's PPP Framework, was hosted virtually by the Bank.
The workshop took place against the backdrop of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the ensuing economic slowdown, which has sharpened an already urgent need for investment. Five African countries accounted for more than 50% of all successful PPP activity from 2008 to 2018: South Africa, Morocco, Nigeria, Egypt and Ghana. Several other countries have multiple PPPs in the pipeline– Burkina Faso has 20, and Botswana, 8.
"Before the COVID-19 pandemic, African infrastructure was already struggling to structure projects tailored for the private sector and at the same time achieving value for money for the public sector including affordability for users. It is therefore imperative that hybrid solutions such as PPPs must be seen and promoted as a way of building back better, stronger, greener, by clawing back private capital to infrastructure while creating much needed fiscal room for governments to address multiple other demands including building health systems' resiliency." Bank Vice President Solomon Quaynor said in his opening remarks.
The African Development Bank estimates Africa's infrastructure financing needs at up to $170 billion a year by 2025, with an estimated financing gap of up to of $68 to $108 billion a year. PPPs are seen as a key element in narrowing this gap by crowding in private sector investment in infrastructure and African Development Bank is playing a critical role in scaling up that effort.
Amadou Oumarou, Director for the Bank's Infrastructure and Urban Development department presented several rationales for the Bank's effort to develop a PPP framework, including its Ten-Year Strategy (2013-2022) and a recommendation from the Bank's Independent (IDEV) evaluation unit to scale up PPP interventions.
Webinar participants expressed a desire for the Bank to play an expanded role in supporting PPP development in Africa by strengthening policy and regulatory frameworks, building government capacity; project structuring and advisory services; and the provision of financing instruments such de-risking, guarantees, credit enhancements and local currency financing.
"Countries need to learn from each other's achievements and mistakes, they need to have standard documents and checklists that will guide institutions in these countries through the PPP lifecycle," said Shoubhik Ganguly of Rebel Group International, which is partnering with the Bank to develop the framework.
Mike Salawou, Division Manager; Infrastructure Partnerships, said "Policy dialogue is something the Bank places a lot of premium on, and that has proven to be very efficient in informing decision making."
"One of the challenges RMCs are faced with is selecting the right project for implementation, therefore support should start from there, then going through to actual project preparation makes it a lot easier," said Michael Opagi, Division Manager for Sub-Saharan Africa, IFC.
Private sector representatives praised DFIs as indispensable in securing financing for PPP projects in Africa. One example of a successful PPP project cited during the workshop is the Kigali Bulk Water project, which received significant backing from the African Development Bank, the World Bank, as well as private sector players.
According to Phillipe Valahu, CEO, PIDG the Kigali Water project is a perfect example of having an integrated support to a PPP project by using the three pillars proposed in the Bank's PPP Framework. The project benefited from debt funding from PIDG alongside the African Development Bank which each provided $19 million of senior debt on commercial terms.
"The African Development Bank has unparalleled trust relationships with African governments, and we need to take advantage of that to speed up implementation of PPPS," Quaynor said in closing.

Wine not?
The whole space vibes with opulence which probably stems from the amount of cash apparently poured into it making it this fabulous. From the smooth, wooden tables to the wall of modern, brushed-steel wine dispensers and of course the unmissable rows of Riedel glassware. Go for a table in the large circular dining room, or head out to the open balcony with a view on the Central World Mall.
Despite the opulent atmosphere, the wines are fairly priced and come in full glasses but also tasting sized portions. We really love the old world selection and whole-heartedly recommend the 2013 Tuscan Sangiovese. In terms of food you can expect Italian/Mediterranean inspired tapas-sized dishes like their house-made egg tagliatelle with baby octopus and aubergine ragout, alongside their specialty of charcuterie and cheese platters.

Author(s): Gerald Seymour
Jericho's War is a relentlessly powerful novel of our times from 'the best thriller writer in the world' (Daily Telegraph) In a moment of nerve shredding suspense that will affect many thousands of lives, a handful of men and women will converge on a barren stretch of Yemeni desert. Each of them will need spirit, courage and immense luck to survive the next forty-eight hours. Corrie Rankin is already a legend at MI6 when he is called back with little regard for the horrors of his recent past. Corrie is sent to take advantage of a chance to take down a high value player in the war against Al Qaeda - and, a chance for the Brits to succeed without begging help from the Americans. The sniper and his spotter who will go with Corrie are less than top team, but the best that can be found if the mission is to stay 'deniable'. And once the three misfits are in-country, they must rely on intelligence brought to them by a young British Jihadi - on the ground and close to the target - and now turned. And, close to him, is an archaeologist digging in the ruins of the Queen of Sheba' civilisation who will be their cut-out contact point. The mission is the brain-child of an apparently old, fat fool in a striped cricket blazer, a sweating figure of fun among the ex-pat community across the border in Muscat. This is Jericho ...not as old or fat or foolish as he appears, nor as harmless. This is Jericho's War. The weapons it deploys, the brutal aims it pursues, are state of the art. The fear it breeds and the raw bravery it demands are as timeless as the desert itself.
Gerald Seymour exploded onto the literary scene in 1975 with the massive bestseller HARRY'S GAME. The first major thriller to tackle the modern troubles in Northern Ireland, it was described by Frederick Forsyth as 'like nothing else I have ever read' and it changed the landscape of the British thriller forever. Gerald Seymour was a reporter at ITN for fifteen years. He covered events in Vietnam, Borneo, Aden, the Munich Olympics, Israel and Northern Ireland. Each of his acclaimed thrillers is deeply researched and delivers a topical, high-octane read.

The International Wine & Spirit Competition 2002 - BronzeAn extrovert wine with its strong personality rooted firmly in the terroir of the hills of Durbanville. Strong mint on the nose - a mint indisputably from full-ripeness so concentrated that it turns back and forth to intense berry flavours in the mouth as it pushes to the front its intense fruit, prune flavours and violet incense. A full bodied wine that remains with you long after a last sip finished with subtle oak aromas. The grapes came from two different vineyards on two different slopes of Durbanville. Whilst the Klein Roosboom vineyard delivered an aromatic Merlot, the other cooler vineyard gave me a perfectly structured wine. These two were allowed to develop separately and then blended together into a complex and balanced wine.
ageing : Will develop in complexity for up to 10 years in the bottle.
