Honourable Sunday Akere was the Commissioner of Information and Strategy in the first term of Governor Rauf Aregbesola, of Osun State. In this interview, the All Progressives Congress (APC) stalwart speaks on the face-off between the state workforce and the government and other issues.
THERE is a claim that the Osun State government is shortchanging its workers despite the financial bailout from the Federal Government. How do you explain this?
It is unfortunate that a lot of noise is being made in respect of payment of salary in Osun because in terms of states owing a backlog of salaries, Osun is not the worst. Several other states are worst and there is little or no noise about it. But the situation is understandable because of the fact that the Osun State governor and the All Progressives Congress (APC) happens to be the albatross of the misfortune of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), both at the state and national levels in the elections held in March and April this year. The August 9, 2014 election in Osun really spelt doom for the party. It signalled the end of dominance of the party at the federal level. It was the agitation and outspokenness of Aregbesola that moved the President Muhammadu Buhari-led federal government to initiate the idea of supporting the states with a bailout fund. It is in three parts. Everybody knows that the bailout covers the arrears of June ending. The government of Aregbesola entered a Memorandum of Understanding with workers in the state on how the fund was to be disbursed. We have done the first part. The government has paid till May ending in full. Local government workers also have been paid till June in full. There was no provision for payment of pension in the fund but the governor graciously acceded to the request and paid half of outstanding pension for December 2014 and also January, February and March pension. April will soon be paid. There is no hide-and-seek game between the government and the organised labour. We lay our cards on the table for all to see. Both sides are satisfied that nothing is hidden. And labour leaders can clarify what I have said regarding compliance to the terms of agreement. I can even get you a copy of the MOU we signed with labour for the sake of clarification.
But, the government is being accused of desperate moves to shore up Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) at the expense of the people of the state?
There is no desperation in our increasing the IGR. Everybody knows what accrued from the Federation Account since July 2013 is not sufficient to pay salary. The government used to receive an average of N4.3 billion. But, it has dropped to N2.7 billion. In April this year, it was N464 million. The understanding with labour is that we are not going to borrow again to pay salary. We agreed that whatever comes from Abuja would be added with whatever we can raise internally. It is even the leadership of labour that insisted that every avenue is tapped to make IGR. If an adult is asked to pay N1,500, I don't think that is too much, talk less of being tagged desperation. Even the lowest paid civil servant pays N3, 500. Don't forget all the facilities these people are enjoying. Payment of tax is what they should gladly do in return to show that they are citizens who truly want the state to develop.
Lecturers in state polytechnics are accusing the government of insensitivity to their welfare. Why is the situation so?
Sometime last year, the lecturers in the polytechnics and colleges of education started an agitation, asking government to increase the retirement age to 65 years like what obtains at Federal Government-controlled institutions. It took us a long time during which they intimidated the government. The state Executive Council deliberated on it and the state House of Assembly passed it as a law. After this had been done, they came up with another agitation telling us that the state should allow them to opt out of pension scheme. We told them that we met the compulsory pension scheme on ground. The Argebesola administration met it as a policy, which all levels of workers in the state pay it. We said under which condition should we allow you to opt out? There is a law which set up this scheme. If you know you are not comfortable with it, you challenge it at the court of law. This is what we told them to do. They were at home for about nine months and we appealed to them to consider the plight of their students, some of whom should be in National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) now. We asked them to return to class to save their students the agony of watching their colleagues leaving them behind. We told them to consider the future of the students under them. In the past two weeks, the governing councils of the institutions have instructed the work to resume. Since last week, work has started in the four institutions. Those ready to work are back. The non-academic staff has also called off their strike. We are telling others outside to return to work.
It appears work has stopped on some projects in the state, especially the Gbongan-Akoda-Osogbo road. Have the Nigerians seen the end of those projects?
It is not that work is no more going on the projects. Work is still going on in schools under construction. Where we slowed down a bit is the construction of roads. We are only assessing the federal road we are handling with a view to getting a refund. Graciously, we have a listening government at the centre now. It has shown genuine concern, and by the time we finish that and get the refund, we will return to work and complete the projects. We have done the assessment of the stage of work done on the Gbongan-Akoda-Osogbo as well as the Osogbo-Ikirun-Kwara State road as directed by the Federal Government. We have made our recommendation to the Federal Government. We have heard in the past weeks that Federal Government has promised to release a sum of N537 Billion to states handling Federal Government projects, among of which is Osun. So, when the fund is released, we are one of the beneficiaries, and this will make a difference and the job will be completed.
About two weeks ago, the government signed an agreement with the construction company handling the Moshood Abiola International Airport to complete the project within eight months. We are only sorting out the issue of salary arrears so that people will not accuse us of diverting the bailout fund into the airport project. I am assuring the people of Osun that there is no project initiated by the governor that will not be complete before the end of his term.
Is this controversy not robbing the governor of the popularity he enjoyed in his first term?
The government of Aregbesola is still popular and acceptable to the people as it used to be. The politics of Osun is like the politics of the entire nation. Osun people still appreciate him at public functions, especially at mosques and other places where they show their love to him. The only problem is the opposition, who are out to confuse the public with propaganda. For instance, we have not received the bailout fund before they went to town and said Aregbesola had collected and fixed the fund. The election had been won and lost. The loser went to the tribunal, Appeal Court and the Supreme Court. He lost all. The best thing for the loser is to accept the verdict in good faith and allow the winner to concentrate on the business of governance instead of causing distraction and confusing the public. But, I am happy the people of Osun cannot be deceived. So, they understand their blackmail better. In Osun, there is nothing hidden in the way the government is being run. That is the basis of our confidence to engage them when they come up with their blackmail.
What do you consider as the major challenge of being in government?
One challenge I always reflect on is public perception of political office holders. It is registered in the minds of the public that everyone in government is there to enrich themselves. They have no tolerance to understand how things work in the corridors of power. But, how do you explain this to the people who seem to have made up their mind? So, I am saying it not fair to jump into such conclusion. It is high time we appealed to the public to take pressure off the head of political office holders in the country. It is believed that going into government is going to steal money. People should understand that holding such offices carries a lot of responsibilities bothering on service delivery. They should not do things that would tempt public office holders to do what they should not do. If the demand is higher than supply, a public office holder is tempted to do what he should not do. I am appealing for understanding and more cooperation for government after elections. Another four years is the opportunity the electorate has to exercise their right of choice again.

Breaking down the Uganda martyrs!
Every year, the weeks leading to June 3, Christian pilgrimages from allover the world trek to Namugongo, Wakiso district, central Uganda. These Pilgrims, of all ages and social class mostly walk on foot from as far as the Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda etc. Others fly in from different parts of the world. The sole reason for their pilgrimage is to commemorate the lives of 22 Catholic and 23 Anglican young men who met their death on orders of Kabaka Mwanga II, the ruler of the kingdom of Buganda for choosing service to God over service to the Kabaka (king). These young men, the youngest of which was Kizito Omuto at 14 years of age were executed between 31 January 1885- 27 January 1887.
Earlier in 1875, Mwanga's predecessor and father, Muteesa I had invited missionaries from Europe according to a letter published in Britain. This led to the arrival of Alexander Mackay of the Church Missionary Society from Britain and Fr. Pere Simon Lourdel (Mapeera) who led the White fathers contingent from France in addition to the Arab traders who had introduced Islam to Buganda. This therefore created a situation in Buganda, where there was a number of converts to the three faiths even among the Kabaka's government. When he ascended the throne in 1884, Mwanga II was concerned about the influence of the new class of converts some of whom were among his chiefs. This class held a desire to break Buganda away from some of its traditional norms in favor of more religious based values. For example, the Kabaka held power of life and death where as the Christians considered killing a sin.
Events in Tanganyika, where the Germans had successfully annexed the territory sent shivers down Kabaka Mwanga II's spine. He feared the foreigners would do the same to his kingdom as his fears were later proven true. The execution of Bishop Harrington who was Buganda bound from the east was a reaction to ward of further British invasions. This paranoia coupled with consistent persuasion from older conservative chiefs who were threatened by this new wave of younger, energetic and literate officials and pages whose actions were interpreted as despising to the Kabaka and other elders, Kabaka Mwanga II ordered their execution. Others say that the refusal and failure for the Kabaka's subjects to be available whenever he called was the last nail in the coffin.
These young men were round up and matched to Namugongo where they were burnt alive. Others were killed in Nakivubo (Present Day Down Town Kampala) and Munyonyo. Mukajanga, Kabaka's chief executioner and his men set the young men on slow burning fires, feet first, others were mutilated limb by limb in what must have been scenes of horror to the witnesses. They suffered slow deaths meant to give them a chance to denounce Christianity, none did. Mukajanga was feared and his loyalty to the kabaka was unquestionable, among the martyrs was Mbaga Tuzinde, son of Mukajanga himself. Others martyrs were; Achilleus Kiwanuka, Adolphus Ludigo-Mukasa, Ambrosius Kibuuka, Anatoli Kiriggwajjo, Andrew Kaggwa, Antanansio Bazzekuketta, Bruno Sserunkuuma, Charles Lwanga, Denis Ssebuggwawo Wasswa, Gonzaga Gonza, Gyavira Musoke, James Buuzaabalyaawo, John Maria Muzeeyi, Joseph Mukasa, Kizito, Lukka Baanabakintu, Matiya Mulumba, Mugagga Lubowa, Mukasa Kiriwawanvu, Nowa Mawaggali, Ponsiano Ngondwe and others
Beatified in 1929 by pope Benedict XV and canonized by Pope Paul VI in 1964. The martyrs are commemorated on their feast day of June 3, which is the day of celebrations at the martyrs' shrine in Namugongo. Daudi Okello and Jildo Irwa, beatified in 2002 although they haven't yet been canonized were speared to death in 1918 in Paimol. Both Acholi by tribe, they were catechists in the early days of the Comboni missionaries. The church of Uganda also commemorates Bishop Janan Luwum who was killed by President Idd Amin in 1977 though his feast day is February 17.
The events of the martyrs formed the seeds for the foundation of Christianity in Uganda. It is the bravery of these souls that pulls Christians world over to pilgrimage to Namugongo annually. It is a modern example of undoubted faith in God. The Church Missionary Society used the story of the martyrs to garner broad support in Britain to acquire Uganda as a protectorate and later a colony. The British government offered security to the later missionaries.
In the immediate aftermath, Kabaka Mwanga II planned to arrest and dump the remaining Christians together with Muslims on a crocodile infested island on lake Victoria where they would either starve to death or be eaten by crocodiles. On discovering this, the Christians and Muslims connived with Kiwewa, the Kabaka's brother and overthrew Mwanga. Kabaka Kiwewa was made king but right refused to get circumcised according to Islamic tradition. He was overthrown and replaced by Kalema. This sparked off three way religious wars that only ended when Buganda became a British protectorate. Mwanga returned to power but picked up another squabble with British, he was exiled in 1899 and died in Seychelles at a young age of 35 in 1903.
Happy martyr's day

Freetown overview
Freetown is the capital of Sierra Leone and is also the largest city in this West African country. Once you have landed on your flight to Freetown, you will be exposed to it's a vibrant and lively atmosphere along with finding some of West Africa's most picturesque beaches, awe-inspiring mountains, and historic landmarks. Freetown was one of the first British colonies built and the place where liberated slaves were sent, from Britain, America, Jamaica and Canada. Historic monuments, like Kings Yard Gate, which was built in 1805, provide haunting reminders of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. The Loma Mountains have the highest peak in Sierra Leone, standing tall at 6380 feet (194m). In good weather the views from the summit are absolutely spectacular. The Peninsula Beaches of Sierra Leone are a must-see. Mass tourism is not quite developed in Freetown. Therefore, many beaches remain untouched and in pristine condition. Some are so remote and quiet that you can enjoy them all to yourself. York Beach is idyllic, with black sand, clear waters and lush tropical surroundings. Turtle Island is a group of eight islands and provides a peaceful getaway. It's located three hours from Freetown and accessible via speedboat. Sulima Beach is situated between Mano and Moa Rivers and is a favourite spot for surfers. Tacugama Chimpanzee Sanctuary is highly recommended. It's located in the Western Area Peninsula Forest Reserve and covers 100 acres, and 17,688 hectares of land. Around 100 rescued and orphaned chimpanzees live here and educational tours are provided.
Getting around Freetown
Shared taxis are ideal for short trips, while poda podas are generally used for longer journeys. Taxis are unmetered so be prepared to haggle before accepting a cab.
Getting from the Airport to the City
The airport for Freetown is Lungi International Airport (FNA) which is located in the coastal town of Lungi and most travellers use water taxis to travel to Freetown. The journey time is approximately 30 minutes. Private chartered speedboats are another option, taking between 20 to 30 minutes to reach the city. You can also catch a hovercraft or a ferry. This is the cheapest option, but it takes longer to arrive. If driving, pre-arrange your transportation. Driving from the airport to Freetown takes over four hours.

Melted unsweetened chocolate is often one of the key ingredients to baking gooey brownies and decadent chocolate cakes. In a pinch, you can substitute unsweetened cocoa powder (not a sugary cocoa mix)—you just need to add butter, shortening or a flavorless oil like canola.
Melt butter or shortening in a double boiler over low heat, stirring continuously, or in a microwave for 10-second intervals, stirring in between each interval.
Stir the unsweetened cocoa powder into the melted butter or shortening until smooth.
Use as directed in the recipe.
Check for freshness of cocoa powder before using, and make sure to store in a tightly closed tin away from light.

The thing that convulsed the internet for much of yesterday was this Reuters report that Apple decided against throwing away its keys to users' encrypted iCloud backups after the FBI complained about encryption.
The word "after" does a lot of work in that formulation — it reads as though it's meant to be about cause but might just simply be about chronology. Reuters itself didn't come out and say that Apple chose to retain the ability to unlock your iCloud backups because it was worried about the FBI freaking out if it locked them down, but didn't not not say that either. One source told the outlet that "Apple didn't want to poke the bear," the bear being the FBI.
The news isn't that the iCloud loophole exists — we've always known that….

Follow the Leaders ... If You Can
The saying "steal smart" has always been one of my favorites. It just makes sense. If someone has a great idea that works, and it can be applied to your career, your business or your life, why not apply it?
A good opportunity to "steal smart" presents itself in this issue. It's all about the very best in the industry: the winners of the 18th Annual Gold Ink Awards and the inductees to the 2005 PrintMedia Hall of Fame.
Let's start with the Gold Ink Awards competition. It was my second year witnessing the judging process and the absolutely meticulous job the judges do of examining—and I do mean examining—each piece. They suffer strained eyes and aching necks searching for even the slightest flaws and award only perfection. And because the competition was stiffer than ever, the winners of this year's competition are truly exemplary pieces of the very best in print.
From gold to pewter, every award given out is a testament to the hard work and attention to detail that went into it. It shows pride of craftsmanship, a concept some have suggested no longer exists. Technological advancements surely have a hand in the larger number of especially high-quality entries, but print still requires a human touch to ensure every last detail is in place and no fluctuations occur throughout press runs. And many of the creative ideas behind winning pieces are inspiring in their own right and quite difficult to achieve in manufacturing.
So, it couldn't hurt to look closely at the creativity and the craftsmanship of the winners, even though reprinting them here on the pages of this issue just doesn't do them justice.
We also cannot do justice to the inductees to this year's Hall of Fame in such a limited space. Each has decades of experience in this industry, so trying to condense their histories into one-page profiles was a challenge, to say the least.

Rose Gold Medium Lock and a Platinum Baby Heart with Diamonds on a Blackened Hard Hook
About The Locks: The Stoned Baby Heartlock measures 1.7cm x 1.7cm with a thickness of 2mm, closure is 4mm. Platinum with .5 carat pave diamonds.
After many many requests we have finally come out with the Medium Lock. It is smaller than a Regular Lock, larger than a Baby, and a bit smaller than our Heart lock. It works beautifully with necklaces, with the Hard Hook bracelet, and any of our strands. The Medium Lock is 2.5cm x 1cm with a thickness of just over 2mm, closure is 5.5mm. 14k rose gold.
About The Hard Hook: We created the Hard Hook bracelet to allow for the locks to be "converted" into a bangle bracelet. Works beautifully with the Regular Lock, Medium Lock, and Heartlock. Can even be worn with multiple locks. The bracelets all have a certain "springiness" to allow for multiple sizes of locks to be worn with it. Regular fits up to a size 7 wrist and Large fits up to an 8. Some people prefer to wear the larger size for a more "bangly" feeling. Blackened sterling silver.

What is a Ribbed T-shirt?By Shirtspace | Sep 24, 2019 | Updated Jan 03, 2020
It is time for another t-shirt term explanation! We all know textured cuffs and collar, or even texter all over this tee. Most well known for its use in tank tops, and widely referred to as ribbed. But what exactly does this mean? Is it for fashion, add features to the fabric, or both? Today, let's expand our vocabulary a bit and learn exactly what a ribbed t-shirt is.
What exactly is a Ribbed T-shirt?
The term ribbed refers to the type of knit of the fabric of the t-shirt. Generally, these tees are made out of cotton and cotton blends. Ribbed t-shirts are knitted in a way that they are covered in rows of vertical lines. These lines alternate between being raised and sunken. In some instances, the whole shirt is ribbed, while in others just the collar and cuffs of the shirt are ribbed. Ribbed t-shirts are generally more fitted than other knits, but they are also stretchier.
What are the Benefits of the Ribbed T-shirt?
The biggest benefit of the ribbed t-shirt is that it is comfortable and stretchy. The ribbing allows for the shirt to stretch as the person puts on the article of clothing and as they move in it. As we mentioned above, sometimes just the collar or cuffs of the t-shirt is ribbed. The reason for this is that it allows the shirt to stretch as body parts enter the t-shirt, but then the collar and cuffs back to their original size, leaving a well fitted and clean looking tee.
Another major benefit to the ribbed t-shirt is that it is more durable than other types of tees. Ribbed tees are more durable than others because they allow for the stretch that comes with human wear. Instead of the shirt resisting against the movement, it gives to it, reducing the number of tares on the shirt.
So What Else is Ribbed Fabric Used in?
Ribbed fabric isn't just for t-shirts; it is great for so many other things too! We love ribbed fabric for sweaters. It allows for the perfect amount of warmth and cold weather coziness. Ribbed fabric is also used in sweatshirts, long sleeve shirts, socks, pants, blankets, and more.
Opt for a Ribbed Tee
If comfort, durability, and stretch are what you are looking for, definitely opt for the ribbed tee. You seriously won't regret it. You can check out all of our ribbed tee options over at our online shop.

It's More Fun To Compute! (Magazine)
June 26, 2006 11:20 AM | Simon Carless
The ever-indispensible AtariAge has updated, revealing that a set of new issues of vintage computer programming/game mag Compute! are online, thanks to AtariMagazines.com curator Kevin Savetz.
Not just scanned pages, apparently, "the full text of 21 additional issues of Compute! magazine have been put online. This includes the magazine's first issue (Fall 1979), several issues from the period 1981 through 1983, and then others from 1989 through 1990. Compute! was published from 1979 through September 1994, covering every major computer platform (including Atari computers) until it became a PC-only publication in May 1988. Thus far, the full text of 44 issues of Compute! is available at AtariMagazines.com."
Even better, I did a follow-up email to check with Kevin, since he says on his site that he "has received permission from the magazines' publishers to make the material available on the Internet for free", and it certainly seems like he really asked the rights-holders and they said yes (he's a little vague about this so that they don't get lots of people bothering them) - so it's great to see authorized online resources like this.
[Heck, anything that has Player-Missile Graphics with the ATARI Personal Computer System by Chris Crawford, reprinted from the January 1981 issue, is good with us! Also great: Are Computers A Home Appliance? by Fred D'lanazio, from 1984. Go poke around some!]

How much information about ourselves do we leave behind in public, as we shed saliva, hair, and sweat throughout the day? It's a question that drives the artwork of Heather Dewey-Hagborg, whose project Stranger Visions reconstructs the faces of the anonymous as 3-D printed sculptures, using genetic detritus found in chewing gum, cigarette butts, and wads of hair around New York City.
"I started fixating on this idea of hair and what can I know about someone from a hair," explains Dewey-Hagborg, a Brooklyn-based information artist. Her faces were determined based on looking at just three traits–gender, eye color, and maternal ethnicity–an admittedly simplified look (but still more advanced than police forensics labs which use a kit to determine hair and eye color from a sample). Plugging that information into software she wrote herself, she could spin up different 3-D versions of a face–eventually settling on the ones she finds most interesting aesthetically–and bring them to life with a 3-D printer.
The resulting busts may bear, at most, a "family resemblance" to the original person, Dewey-Hagborg says. "Part of that is that I need to do more experiments," to incorporate more traits. "Part of that is that it's just impossible."
While DNA analysis may be popularly understood as a straightforward process, thanks to simplistic representations on forensic lab TV mysteries where a single hair is as compelling evidence as a smoking gun, Dewey-Hagborg soon found out that "there's a whole lot more subjectivity than we're kind of lead to believe." Even something as simple as determining eye color based on DNA can prove harder than you'd imagine. "There's an 80% chance that this person has brown eyes and 20% chance that they have green eyes," she explains. "You have to make that call."
Subjectivity doesn't enter into the equation just at the level of DNA analysis but during machine learning as well. "In order to generate a face, you need to teach a computer what a face is," Dewey-Hagborg explains. But how do you tell a computer what something as complicated as a human's gender or race looks like? By feeding it images of humans with those characteristics, a process which involves human input– the encoding of cultural biases and the simplification of complexity. Databases of faces often come from "college students in some particular region in the world," says Dewey-Hagborg, which clearly could skew toward a less diverse-swath of humanity. But in Dewey-Hagborg's software, the only way to determine what mouths and lips look like is based on ethnic prototypes linked to maternal ancestry.
Dewey-Hagborg calls the process "problematic," and she says she hopes her work provokes more of a discussion around subjectivity in both DNA analysis and computer modeling of faces. "It does involve, essentially, creating a stereotype, and generating faces based on those stereotyped ideas, so that's something I'm hoping to question with this work."
Soon, she hopes to expand the project to include more traits, including freckling and predisposition to obesity.

Abstract: Several international conservation organizations have recently produced global priority maps to guide conservation activities and spending in their own and other conservation organizations. Surprisingly, it is not possible to directly evaluate the relationship between priorities and spending within a given organization because none of the organizations with global priority models tracks how they spend their money relative to their priorities. We were able, however, to evaluate the spending patterns of five other large biodiversity conservation organizations without their own published global priority models and investigate the potential influence of priority models on this spending. On average, countries with priority areas received greater conservation investment; global prioritization systems, however, explained between only 2 and 32% of the US$1.5 billion spent in 2002, depending on whether the United States was removed from analyses and whether conservation spending was adjusted by the per capita gross domestic product within each country. We also found little overlap in the spending patterns of the five conservation organizations evaluated, suggesting that informal coordination or segregation of effort may be occurring. Our results also highlight a number of potential gaps and mismatches in how limited conservation funds are spent and provide the first audit of global conservation spending patterns. More explicit presentation of conservation priorities by organizations currently without priority models and better tracking of spending by those with published priorities are clearly needed to help make future conservation activities as efficient as possible.

ARTICLE: What Gets Measured Can Be Managed – "Over the past year, we have improved the logic of the Ecological Accounting Protocol," wrote Tim Pringle, EAP Initiative Chair (Asset Management BC Newsletter, Winter 2017)
"The Ecological Accounting Protocol is about specific values (pricing) – not imputed, generalized values," wrote Tim Pringle. "Since cost-avoidance, at least perceived cost-avoidance, motivates much of the decision-making process about infrastructure, and development in general, why has the obvious role of natural assets been omitted to date? The Ecological Accounting Protocol suggests it is the lack of measurement."


text: A 39-year-old husband and father of two young children committed suicide while receiving psychiatric care for depression as a result of an inadequate dosage of antidepressant medication, and the psychiatrist's failing to reevaluate his condition in a timely manner. The decedent first sought treatment for his depression from his primary care physician and was prescribed antidepressants, which led to both physical and emotional side effects. After two weeks, he returned to his physician, where he was deemed "not actively suicidal" and referred to a psychiatric specialist for further care. From June to July, the psychiatrist prescribed two different kinds of antidepressant medications and instructed him to return for further evaluation in 30 days. The patient died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in August. Hodes Milman represented the deceased's wife and children, obtaining $840,000 for the victim's family, arguing that the psychiatrist prescribed an inadequate dosage of antidepressant medication. If the psychiatrist followed accepted standards of care, the patient's death by suicide would likely have been prevented.

It will throw an exception, which will likely bubble up to your exception handler, which may misinterpret it as meaning obj.nonEx does not exist. The exception object needs to identify the target object and missing property name. Then there's the less likely but still real possibility that the property is removed while it is executing, and invoked recursively (maybe indirectly). To get a truly accurate answer from the exception you need to verify the type of exception, the target object, property name and the call stack at the point the exception was thrown. This is very impractical; I think script authors are more likely to skip some of that, getting an ambiguous answer, like with unset only less efficient.Helgef wrote:For non-existent array elements, most often, an exception would be very helpful, it is very similar to call to non-existent method.
Especially for properties, a property get function might very well return something which is unset (perhaps by mistake, or perhaps not), it doesn't tell you anything about the existence of the property, an error does. We do not need unset for this, just an error.
The only way to get a clear answer (and easily) is to ask the object directly: theArray.has(i)? map.has(key)? node.hasProperty("textContent")?
Even without the ambiguity, I think that exceptions should not be used to represent conditions that are not errors. Using try-catch to find the answer to a question is incorrect if neither answer represents an error state. For instance, if you want to know whether a property exists, it is not an error for the property to not exist. a.nonEx can throw an exception, but only if accessing a non-existent property is always considered to be an error. In other words, either the property always exists, or the script is required to query its existence by some other mechanism before accessing it (or use some other access mechanism which does not treat non-existence as an error).
One (very much solvable) problem with adding exceptions for such things at this point is that there isn't yet an easy way to identify exceptions. That is, there isn't a proper system of exception types or any mechanism to filter based on type; or in other words, our exception system is incomplete. Completing it is not a priority for me, and if I still cared about getting v2.0 to a semi-stable (as in unchanging) state within a reasonable amount of time I probably would defer it to a later release. I might have never added exception handling at all if fincs hadn't developed it.
One of the reasons I sometimes prefer not to use exception-handling in scripts is that the syntax, while being very conventional, is very verbose. This could be counteracted with new syntax, such as the following loose ideas:
- Some form of inline try-catch expression, possibly allowing filtering by exception type.
- Success-or may.throw !|| errorExpression or success-conditional may.throw !&& successExpression / may.throw !? successExpression : errorExpression operators. (Or the opposite, with "exclamation" meaning "exception".) The main problem with this is the lack of exception type filtering.
On Error Resume Next
When this is used in a VB sub or function and an error (exception) occurs, execution resumes at the next statement - the one following either the statement that raised the error, or the statement that called out to some other procedure which raised the error. Err.Number and Err.Description contain information about the last error. It is much like AutoHotkey's use of ErrorLevel when calling certain built-in functions, but it is not limited to built-in functions. It is more like wrapping each line (statement) in try-catch, with the catch part merely storing the error information.
Err.Number is limited to identifying only the most recent error (like ErrorLevel), but we need not be limited in this way. There could instead (or in addition) be an array of all thrown values, which also implies an error count (the length of the array).
Unlike ErrorLevel, the error information may accumulate rather than reset after every successful function call, and it may be local to the function or block. Sometimes this would be much more convenient than exception handling, especially if one has to wrap each call in try-catch (and set the error flag, increment the error count or whatever).
Unlike VB's On Error or ErrorLevel, we could hypothetically allow filtering by the type of exception or other properties of the exception. The mechanism could allow for an expression or callback to be evaluated or called when an error occurs, prior to execution resuming. An example of where this could be used is:
Unlike the global OnError() callback, exceptions thrown by an interrupting thread would not reach this, just as it wouldn't reach another thread's try-catch.Helgef wrote:[...] I'd might want to set an onerror func at the start of a (probably complex) function, using a closure to clean up in case there was an error. Meaning I do not need to store a reference to the closure in the closure, which reduces the risk that I forget to break circular references.
Even if we are considering only control flow, not semantics, there is a big difference between the two. If one translatesnnnik wrote:Try & Catch vs If & Else. There is not much difference between the 2.
It is not only more verbose, but behaves differently: an exception within successAction() will also cause failureAction() to execute, when the original intent was to execute it only when conditionalAction() fails. One might try to avoid this via exception filtering, but it might be difficult to guarantee that successAction() will not throw an exception that also matches the filter.
Code: Select all
If conditionalAction()
; to
try {
} catch
Another attempt at a solution might be to wrap successAction() in its own try-block, but then how do you throw the exception and ensure it won't be caught by the outer try?
So instead, one puts in the try block only the code whose exceptions should be handled by the catch block. The shortest I've come up with is:
In short, try-catch is not equivalent to if-else, and in some situations does not even replace it.
Code: Select all
success := false
try conditionalAction(), success := true
if success
It is code like the above that gave me the idea for inline-try (but success-or !|| also does the job):
I believe that in Python, one can do this:
Code: Select all
if try(conditionalAction()) ; or: if conditionalAction() !|| false
...which is tidier, but requires the reverse of the typical branch order.
Code: Select all

From the chair:
"28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. 29 They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32 Though they know God's righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them."
-Romans 1:28-32
I often read these lists like certain parts of the blood donation check-in: Mental pen poised to check "no, no, no, no." However, something always goes wrong. If I read the thing at all, I invariably have to check "yes." But wait! Something's wrong! I'm supposed to be able to breeze through this! I'm finally realizing I never will in this life. This is who we are. We do these things. Somehow, I'm both envious and boastful. For some reason, I never see the irony in my own slander, given the foolishness of my own decisions.
Yet, though we won't be free of sin in this age, we can still really change, "For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in this present age, waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Chris, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works" (Titus 2:12-14)
From the desk:
"It is to be considered just a folly of modern times to alter a system of corrupt ethical life, its political constitution and legislation without changing the religion, to have made a revolution without a reformation, to suppose that with the old religion and its sanctities a political constitution opposed to it can have internal peace and harmony, and that stability can be procured for the laws by external guarantees, e.g. so-called chambers, and the power given them to determine the budget and the like."
-Hegel, Philosophy of Mind (Clarendon: 2007), p.254
I'm troubled by the vitriol of this American presidential election season, but I also hope to avoid two conclusions: On the one hand, a political tragedy cannot tear apart our world, because our world is made and maintained by a God who works not only in but also in spite of our political realities. On the other, we shouldn't put too much hope in political salvation, because a mere change in externals, without internal transformation, is a fragile, distant, and impotent change.
"The chair" is the one Annie aptly chose for the corner of our living room, and it's where I am committed to daily hearing from God's Word–the Word I above all else hope to speak to others. "The desk" is the one by my coffee grounds and spare charger (if I get to the library early enough); it's where I have the privilege of reading and thinking all day, where I intend to learn for others' sake.

Like most people, I was first introduced to Nick Offerman through his Parks & Rec character Ron Swanson. Over time, I learned more about the actor through different television interviews and hilarious internet videos.
Before I read this book, I knew only a few things about Offerman. Mostly, I knew he was an actor, married to an actress, and that we was a proud woodworker. I find entertainers with unrelated passions very intriguing. It's not everyday you see someone passionate about the fine arts covered in sawdust.
If you think Ron Swanson is your soulmate, then you would probably hate Nick Offerman. Yes, Offerman and Swanson do share an affinity towards red meat, working with your hands, and being out in nature, but there are more differences than similarities.
Offerman is definitely a great humorist and entity unto himself. I liked this book. His comments and his opinions keep the book moving. His stories about his Chicago acting days were interesting but kind of boring to me, but then again, I don't really care about the acting scene in Chicago. We have differing worldviews on some subjects, but, that is okay. I can disagree with somethings and still find the book great.

Just before we come to the practice of wellness care education, we have to know the principles involved. With the growing discovery for the need in the health care business, there has begun massive movement to fill the demand in well being jobs.

In June 1988, the National Task Force in the Preparation and Practice of Well being Educators became the National Commission for Health Education Credentialing, Inc. Employment of well being educators will develop by projected to grow 21 % from 2012 to 2022, quicker than the typical for all occupations.
The Health Education Code of Ethics has been a perform in progress since roughly 1976, begun by the Society of Public Health Education (SOPHE). Several health educators felt that the existing CHES credential was an entry-level exam. Renata McGee is a employees writer for Locate Online Health Education Schools providing the education you are looking for at , your Partners in Education and Tuition Assistance Programs. The only accreditation obtainable in this field was for college health and public well being expert preparation programs.
The director if the Division of Related Wellness Professions in the Bureau of Overall health Manpower of the Division of Health, Education, and Welfare, Thomas Hatch, became interested in the project. With the success of the conference and the consensus that the standardization of the profession was important, these who organized the conference developed the National Task Force in the Preparation and Practice of Overall health Educators. These who want to get advanced degrees in graduate school will be prepared for programs in public well being, wellness and public administration, epidemiology, and health promotion.
Gaining a certificate in the field is achievable, but most students and specialists earn a degree. On the internet teaching jobs go to these who practice their ABC's – -Usually Creating & Producing. A lot of are in schools, with school districts having numerous overall health teachers, coordinators, counselors, advocates and researchers. These educators could specialize in implementing actual wellness applications in schools, or in writing grant proposals for wellness project funding. Jobs are expected to enhance 37 % among 2010 and 2020, generating it a career with above-typical development. Report of the 2000 Joint Committee on Health Education and Promotion Terminology.

The $15 Product That's Transformed My Skin
And it has more than 6,300 near-perfect reviews on Amazon.
When it comes to skin-care, you probably think an extensive routine full of expensive products is necessary for a flawless complexion. But I've found that the simplest (and most affordable) options can often be the most effective. Case in point: ArtNatural's Tea Tree Oil.
This $15 essential oil has easily transformed my skin for the better — and at a fraction of the cost of most acne-fighting products. Not only does the handy oil boast antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that work as natural acne fighters, but its powerful smell can also ease fatigue and feelings of stress with every application.
Tea tree oil is probably best known as a solution for clear skin, but it can also be used to treat bug bites, dandruff, nail fungus, and athlete's foot. You can even put a few drops in a humidifier or diffuser for a soothing aromatherapy treatment or use it as an all-purpose cleaner around the house. While it can be used for all these ailments and more, I typically only use the essential oil on my face. Every day I dilute a few drops of the potent formula with water and apply the mixture to my face with a cotton pad. Upon application, I can immediately see and feel my pores tightening, and my skin is left feeling squeaky clean.
Since becoming a habitual user of the essential oil, I've had hardly any breakouts, have fewer blackheads, and have even noticed that my pores look smaller. If I ever feel like a pimple is coming on, I will wet a Q-tip with the oil and apply directly to the inflamed area and it quickly prevents it from ever breaking through. Since tea tree oil is known to dry out skin, I always make sure to follow up with a rich moisturizer immediately after applying it.
It seems like I'm not the only one who is a fan of the multitasking product. More than 6,300 Amazon customers have given the ArtNatural Tea Tree Oil an impressive 4.3-star rating. "This is the best essential oil I have ever used! I started using it on my face and it has cleared my face tremendously! I have used products that cost over $100 and this oil far surpasses them," said one reviewer.
"This is a very high-quality tea tree oil compare to the ones that I used in the past. I have tried many and this one beats them all by a long shot. The smell is amazing, I use it to clean my house and use orally and topically. Basically, tea tree has the versatility of a pair of black leggings. I would definitely recommend this tea tree oil to friends and family," raved another.
While I've used other tea tree oils in the past, this one is by far my favorite because it is a 100 percent pure and unadulterated natural oil. Plus, I love that it comes in an amber glass bottle, which protects the oil inside from UV rays, and that it comes with a handy dropper that makes application a breeze. So if you are in the market for an affordable, multitasking beauty product that will give you clearer skin, I highly recommend giving this $15 essential oil a try. (My skin is so thankful for it.)
