Before Christ, my life was hard and I felt like there was no way out of the hurt, pain, and abuse that was going on in my home. My dad was the abuser. He drank a lot of the time and alcohol was a very strong addiction in my family. My grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins all drank at some point in their lives. The weekends held a different meaning in my childhood. I remember seeing all the destruction taking place amongst my family as a child. It would take me hours to fall asleep at night because my dad would come home drunk and I had to wait until he either passed out, left, or spent the night in jail.
There was no one to turn to and I didn't feel safe. Coming from an abusive home, I felt like I was worthless and just another body to fill this earth. A lot of the times I would wonder if my life had meaning at all. Growing up in an abusive home messes with you as a child trying to find where you belong in life. It's even harder when you have younger siblings and they too are going through it at a younger age. I constantly felt like a failure and didn't know where I wanted to be in life because I didn't see the point in having a hopeful future. My dad would get drunk and he would say, "You're nothing...you're worthless. Why did we have you?" Words like that damage you as a little kid. This was a cycle going from elementary school, to middle school and onto high school. I was able to ignore it at home, but it was all I thought about when I went to school.
My grandma loved me. I know all the times that she said "I love you" she meant it. I had never felt that growing up as a child. My teenage years came and I found excuses not to visit her anymore because she never visited me. She died when I was 16 and my life crumbled before me. For the first time in my life I felt like there was nowhere to turn and no one to help me. It felt like the only person who had really loved me and cared, deserted me. I didn't know where to turn and I was left lost and alone.
I remember sitting on the front row at her funeral and thinking of where my life was headed. I didn't know who would love me like my grandma had. Questions like, "Who will love me? Am I important? Will anyone miss me if I died?" played through my head as I sat there trying to comfort my aching heart.
As I was sitting silently, people who knew my grandma were talking about her life, and the way that she lived. I was reminded of the love she showed me as a child and I could agree with the things people said about her life. She had a happiness I didn't know and loved life despite all the bad. I wanted that. I sat there crying, unable to see any source of light in my dark world. I didn't know where to go or where to turn. I wanted true happiness, and not the fake smiles I would give people around me. I wanted to be free from the heaviness and the depression that was taking over my life.
They told me that she believed in this guy named Jesus. I sat there and wanted to know who this Jesus was, because He took the only person that ever loved me. He left a deep wound in my heart by taking my grandma away from me when I needed her most. It was then that I called out to Jesus saying, "Jesus, I don't know who You are, but I'm willing to find out."
Since that time, Jesus has been showing me who I am in Him. My dad said I was nothing, but Jesus says that I am someone, my life has value, and that I am important. For the first time in my life, I mean something to someone without having to work for it all the time. Jesus loves me despite all the times I have failed and given up. The alcohol and abuse are still going on in my family, but I have Someone to turn to this time. He is my help in times of trouble. I no longer feel like there is heaviness in my life, and I am able to forgive my dad for the abuse he put me through. I no longer have to worry about the safety of my siblings and my mom. Jesus has brought peace into my life, and it is unlike anything I could ever imagine.
He gives me purpose in my life and the ability to see the good in all things. Every bad thing that happened to me as a child, Jesus has used it to help free other people who are going through the same things. I am not ashamed and embarrassed of my past and most importantly, I don't have to live in fear. Jesus took all that away.
Jesus took the ugly, broken pieces of my life and turned it into a beautiful story of hope and healing. I was created for a relationship with the very person who created me. I am in places doing things I'd never imagined for myself, only through Jesus was it possible. I have a hope and a future through Jesus Christ.

Inspiration for Today's Devotional: "Surf and/or Turf"
I think we all wish life was as simple as this episode.
The hippogriff Terramar finds himself in a difficult situation when his father elects to move back topside and live as a hippogriff full-time while his mother elects to remain in the sea as a merpony–leading him to think he has to choose between the two of them. The dilemma has a rather handy solution when it turns out he doesn't have to choose at all and can live between the two as he pleases, which is something both of his parents approve of.
Many saw this as the show making attempt at a metaphor for the issue of children going through a divorce. To me, it's a bit unfortunate that they danced around it with a metaphor at all, because we are at the point where almost half of all marriages in the USA end in divorce so they might as well face reality. Yet even more unfortunate is that the resolution was so neat and tidy as, in my experience, divorces rarely end so "neatly".
What I have seen more in my own life is the two individuals involved in a divorce having the absolute worst brought out of them; turning into deranged, irrational, hate-filled "creatures" (because "human" is a rather loose term at best in those cases). Everything becomes bitter, everything becomes hostile, everything becomes about one trying to get an edge on the other, and, in the middle of it all, both of them try to leverage their children as emotional weapons against one another. With few exceptions, I never see people at their most malicious, twisted, and depraved than when going through a divorce.
And of course, every time, it's all "the other person's fault".
When it comes to social problems, a favorite target for a lot of Christian preachers is to rail against divorce. For them, that's often an indicator about how "corrupt" and "godless" our society is becoming. I do think that's a bit biased and oversimplistic (It seems one reason marriages last so long around the world has nothing to do with a want to breakup but rather the fact that society and the law frowns on the idea of divorce and often leaves one partner [almost always the woman] with little recourse to obtain a divorce or financial means if they go through with it; even if they are in an outright abusive relationship.), but that being said, I will admit…one of the reasons I think divorce is so commonplace in the USA at least is because we're all addicted to the notion of instant gratification and hedonism. If it feels good, do it. If it looks cute, get it and get it now. If it feels bad later, then it can easily be disposed of and a new one obtained. That goes from everything from soft drinks to relationships.
As a member of a number of fan communities, I can tell the only criterion for wanting to see two characters as a couple is if they look cute together. Whether they have opposite personalities, no common ground, they're enemies, or even if neither of them is interested in a same-sex partner…that doesn't matter. It looks good together so do it. In the end, making a "cute couple" seems to be the only important thing. So it's no surprise to me that I see younger people getting married while still having outstanding relationship problems or ones on the horizon that could cause a severe interpersonal strain, expecting that "love will let us work through it", only for those same issues to never be resolved and cause a breakup later.
The very idea of instant gratification and hedonism is the natural antithesis to self-discipline and commitment. On one hand, you only ever pursue what gives you pleasure or satisfaction. If it gives you pain, the solution is to immediately seek out what gives you more pleasure and to abandon the old thing. On the other hand, self-discipline and commitment starts off by promising nothing but pain and discomfort with the idea of a reward either over the long term or in the future. Hence, you can't emphasize one side without de-emphasizing the other. And since our society embraces one it's natural the other will suffer.
Any couple that has lasted a long time together will tell you the same thing: marriage is a commitment. Like all misfortune in life, conflicts in a relationship are inevitable. Assuming that you are going to enter one and never have any is more of a fairy tale than a show about talking, pastel-colored ponies could ever be. And people will inevitably lose their temper or give in to their anger, frustration, or hurt and do or say things particularly bad and mean-spirited. What's important is what you do in those times and what you are committed to doing no matter how painful it gets and how much work needs to be put into it.
Christians often quote Jesus in passages like Mark 10:8-12 when talking about marriage and divorce. However, perhaps they should also quote Luke 14:28-32. "Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won't you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it? For if you lay the foundation and are not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule you, saying, 'This person began to build and wasn't able to finish.' Or suppose a king is about to go to war against another king. Won't he first sit down and consider whether he is able with ten thousand men to oppose the one coming against him with twenty thousand? If he is not able, he will send a delegation while the other is still a long way off and will ask for terms of peace." While Lord Jesus was referring to the cost of being His disciple in this passage, the same can be applied to marriage because, after all, the reason marriage is considered a sacred institution is because it represents the relationship of Christ and the Church (Ephesians 5:22-33). And as both relationships are lifelong commitments, then one would think it would make sense to not only plan for a long haul, so to speak, but to prepare to stick by it even when times are rough and relationships become rocky.
Finally, if divorce really is inevitable (and in many cases it will be), a Christian has a much greater responsibility to keep themselves from degenerating into hate and spite as so many divorcees do. Doing so means the hardest task of all: being honest with oneself. Contrary to what many exes would believe, it is a rarity that any relationship difficulty is simply the fault of one individual. (If nothing else, the other individual allowed a bad behavior to happen unchecked until it became an irreconcilable issue.) Strive hard to see and be humble enough to admit what was your part of the problem, always maintain a good attitude and Christ-like view of everyone (including the ex), and, like in this episode, make sure that your child never feels pressured to "take a side".
Suggested Prayer: "Lord God, thank you for relationships and for the institution of marriage. Please grant that all of my relationships, especially those with my significant other, will personify the love of Christ and His people. Please also grant me the strength to be Christ-like in all times of interpersonal difficulty of my relationships, even if it comes to the point where a breakup is unavoidable. Finally, please help me to be honest and open with myself so that, in any difficulty, I will face what I am contributing to the problem and responsibly overcome it. Gratefully in Jesus' Name, Amen."

A 19th century oil painting of Venice, which was discovered at an antiques valuation event in Southport last Friday, is expected to fetch in excess of £500 at auction later this year.
The painting by British artist William Meadow (fl.1870-1895) was found by James Forster, head of the pictures department at fine art auctioneers Halls in Shrewsbury, during an event at Lord Street West Church Community Hall, Lord Street, Southport.
"This view of the Grand Canal, with the San Giorgio Maggiore to the right, dates from the 1880s and is a wonderful of snapshot of late 19th century Venice," said Mr Forster. "It has been estimated at £500-700 and will be sold in our Christmas Collective auction on December 7."
Other valuers attending the event were Maryanne Lineker-Mobberley, head of the silver jewellery and Alexander Clement, Asian art specialist, who took in for sale a self-pouring Doulton teapot valued at in excess of £100.
Consigned to Halls' November Asian art auction from a previous visit to Southport in May were a Chinese reverse painting on glass valued at up to £1,000 while Miss Lineker-Mobberley took in a collection of silver and tortoiseshell boxes valued at up to £800, which will be sold at a silver, jewellery and pictures auction on October 26.
Anyone living in Southport and surrounding area who would like individual antiques or collections valued is asked to contact Halls

Your New January 2019 Local Music Playlist
- 10 Jan 2019
- No Comments
- Playlists
These are our new songs and artists who are featuring on our Future Radio local music playlist:
Broads – Jugema
Norwich-based electronic duo Broads (James Ferguson and Mark Jennings) return with their fifth album in the spring, but for now they present the first single from that 11-track album. A Jennings-penned track titled 'A Safe Space In Us', it features maddening, stuttering arpeggios and a (these days) rare vocal performance from Ferguson. Like its predecessor Field Theory, A Small Box Over a Global Goal showcases a breadth of focus and influence, ranging from erratic washes of noise ('Glass Top') to the shimmering pop arpeggiations of 'Gold Focus' and first single 'A Safe Space In Us', via slow-motion ambient drone ('On a Hillside') and skittering, undulating electronics on 'Jugemu'. Beginning as the solo project of James Ferguson in 2013, Broads quickly caught the attention of respected Russian experimental/electronic label Fuselab, who released 2 albums (2014's self-titled debut and 2015's landmark Hellas LP). Following a third album Everything Is Spinning, Nobody Is Actually in Charge in 2016 Ferguson recruited long-time live collaborator Mark Jennings as a permanent member of the band and set about writing as a two-piece – culminating in 2018's Arts Council-supported Field Theory album. Broads have shared stages with the likes of Mercury Rev, Plaid and JOYFULTALK, have been championed by BBC radio (particularly on Gideon Coe's 6Music show), and the two-piece have been commissioned to write two archive film live soundtracks for the British Film Industry. Field Theory received great reviews and airplay on over 150 radio stations across the globe.
Front Bangs – Stray
Four-piece band from Norwich. Basically four lads getting together, having an argument, and producing some sort of alternative/funk mish mash. That's so Front Bangs. This is their new single, 'Stray'.
Beelips – Bad Behaviour
A Future Radio favourite, The Beelips are retroelectrotwosome consisting of Chris and Jamie (from Narwich). Their production method involves "making all the music inside a machine and sing real voices over the top - this approach sometimes works."
Ted Gage – Count to Ten
He has just recorded an EP of 6 tracks all his own music. He lives in Norwich and has been writing songs for the last 40 years. He has taken my music out on to the streets of Norwich and Cambridge this year and has had a great response, so much so that people are always asking him to record a CD. He plays everything live layering tracks using a loop pedal, everything he plays he writes himself which has always been his thing to keep it original.
Ryan Soanes – Wanna Know
He recently released an EP called 'Hot Girl' and one of the tracks was accepted onto BBC Introducing. His music can be found on any music streaming service or YouTube.
Rave on the Dole – Shevki Kuqi
Rave On The Dole is a Norwich based instrumental duo.
Birds of Hell – I Love Saturday Night
Peter Murdoch, from Birds of Hell, last single was released in April 2018. It's called 'I Love Saturday Night'. He has just had my first album mastered and I'm looking to release it Spring 2019. The first track on the album is Do I Get To Ride On A Unicorn? and it's gonna be the next single. He have a beautiful freak show of a video in the pipeline (being edited as we speak) featuring about 25 local musicians, artists and friends dancing round a woodland bonfire at night dressed as pagan spirit animals. The next Birds of Hell gig is at Epic Friday Feb 8th supporting Jah Wobble.
Blood Like Honey – Tim Roth
This is their new single, 'Tim Roth', and they are planning to release a lot more in the new single.
Mega Emotion – Home Alone
Mega Emotion play drums and percussion over electronic beats and build walls of sound that loop dirty baselines against pumping synths and scuzzy guitars. They wear floor-length ceremonial robes, with faces dusted in glitter and stars swept through their hair. The band's debut BRAINS won Steve Lamacq's Roundtable on BBC 6 Music. Their demo material has been championed by BBC Introducing and played by DJs including John Kennedy, Mark Radcliffe, Tom Robinson, Tom Ravenscroft and Nemone. For their last EP they wrote and recorded personal tracks for 50 fans. Writing and recording 50 tracks is no easy task. The project was intense, creative, robes were worn (sometimes down to the beach for wild-swimming inspiration) and it very nearly broke them. But they regret nothing – especially as it gave us such gems as this.
Telling Truths - Perspective
Telling Truths are a new female-fronted five piece Alternative Rock band from Norwich. They have released a debut EP called 'Desires & Visions'. They are currently in the process of recording their second EP and have a number of gigs coming up in the local area!
The Coral Cross Band - Woman
The Coral Cross Band are an original band based in Norwich, who will hope to bless 2019 with future gigs and music releases!!

So while we're still trying to recover from the forced URL change, as you might have noticed and read about by now, I thought we might *try* to move on and keep things going, hoping that our loyal following of readers hasn't abandoned us yet thinking we became a third-rate fan site. (I promise I won't talk about the URL change from this point on)
So, welcome to November! A new month, a fresh start... until December anyways. Got your Christmas decorations up already?
Speaking of Christmas, we've historically done a sort of "Christmas theme" on the wiki around the month of December to bring the wiki into the holiday season! We've missed the theme a couple times over the years, however, and this time we want to try doing it again.
We're currently looking for help to make the Christmas theme a reality! If you're good with image editing and can help us create a "Christmas-themed logo" or background, or if you're good with CSS and can pick out good colours for our button colours and navigation bars, please see the forum thread about it! We'd love to have you on board!
The The Sims 4: Cats & Dogs article has been selected to be the featured article for the month of November 2018! Featured articles are hand-picked selections from the community that are crowned as being one of the best articles we have. Featured articles are chosen based on their readability and the amount of information they contain, and they're not chosen by a secretive council, but by community members—people like YOU! To nominate or vote for an article, read the instructions here, and then either make a nomination or vote for an existing one.
We did some reorganizing of the Discord server this month. We removed some less-utilized channels, as well as our Music channel due to low usage and popularity. We're also happy to introduce a new bot, called "Discord.Me", that works quietly in the background to help prevent spam by forcing people to go through a bot check and generating a one-time use invite code for them to join the server with. You may have noticed that we have gotten rid of the "Connect" button in the Discord widget in the sidebar and have replaced it with a plain-looking link; this was done to prevent spambots from hopping onto the server via the wiki. If you want to link people to our server over the Internet, we encourage you to use this link: https://discord.me/thesimswiki. This link takes users to a reCAPTCHA page so evil bots can't join the server.
Not sure what Discord is? Discord is a multi-platform online text and voice chat service that lets people connect with each other in real time over the Internet. Although this might not seem particularly new and revolutionary, Discord is so much more than that: it has a lot of great features, including user roles, awesome support for bots, the ability to upload and embed files, and much much more! It's the wiki's most popular method of communication, and it's (seriously) all the rage! If you want to read like the bookworm you are, you can read up on the wiki's Discord server here. You can also visit their official website and have a look around. When you're ready, just click on that "Click here" button below. You can use Discord right in your web browser, or download and install the desktop client for Windows, macOS, and Linux, or the apps for iOS and Android. See you there!

By DONSARON KOVITVANITCHA
In an era where many of us are choosing to consume our entertainment on our personal devices, it comes as little surprise to see some of the biggest names in filmmaking turning their talents to making content for television or streaming services. Despite the pressure from cinemas and the decision taken by a few of the major film festivals to ban films without theatrical distribution from playing in competition, others are welcoming them with open arms and even rewarding them. A case in point is Alfonso Cuaron's "Roma", which in September became the first Netflix movie to win the prestigious Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival.
The recently ended Toronto International Film Festival, one of the biggest film events in the world, introduced its Primetime programme in 2015. This a special showcase for cinematic television, defined as television series made with cinematic quality that can also be presented on big screen. For the first time this year, television from Southeast Asia was recognised in the Primetime segment with "A Mother's Love" and "Pob", two episodes of "Folklore", a new horror anthology by HBO Asia produced by award-winning Singaporean film director Eric Khoo and directed by Indonesian filmmaker Joko Anwar and Thai auteur Pen-ek Ratanaruang respectively. Anwar, who enjoyed recent success across the region with his latest film "Satan's Slave", was unable to make it to Toronto to attend the premiere of his work, but Pen-ek and Khoo were both on hand to meet the audience after the screenings.
PenEk Ratanaruang's episode for HBO Asia's anthology horror series "Folklore", focuses on the famous Thai ghost "Pob". /Photo courtesy of HBO
"Eric emailed me to say he was producing a horror series for HBO Asia," Pen-ek tells XP. "I've never directed horror before, except for 'Nymph', which is not really a horror film. He told me it was a TV film and there needed to be a ghost in it, so I asked Eric to give me a week to make a decision. The concept was to assign every filmmaker in the project to make a television film about a famous ghost in their own country. And Thailand is spoilt for choice with its krasue, krahung, pob and Mae Nak ghosts."
After consulting with veteran producer Soros Sukhum and asking him to work on the project, Pen-ek decided to make a film about the pob ghost. Pob, which feeds on human intestines, has appeared in many horror-comedies, among them the "Baan Phee Pob" film series between 1989 and 1994. In those films the pob ghost is presented as an old woman who chasing humans for their intestines. Pen-ek's pob, though, is different. "It's the story of a ghost who enters a man's house to find something to eat only to discover that the house is inhabited by a farang (foreigner). The ghost can't speak English so is unable to communicate with the farang, and the farang thinks the ghost is a kind of beggar. Soros and I wanted to make our ghost the victim of the farang because he's afraid of speaking English. I told Eric about our idea and he approved it," Pen-ek expains.
In Pen-ek Ratanaruang's latest work "Folklore: Pob", an episode of a television series for HBO Asia, he tells the story of Pob ghost (Parama Wutthikornditsakul) who goes into a house of a farang with whom he can't communicate./Photo courtesy of HBO
The film shows how the pob ghost loses confidence after failing to communicate with the farang and gets so frustrated that he kills him. Later the ghost meets a journalist and confesses the murder.
"I wrote a seven-page treatment and sent it to the HBO team. I received some feedback but I decided not to change anything. Although I have no experience of the horror genre, I did learn from one of my previous works that having a lot of producers on board is confusing. At first I thought it could be great to get comments to help me make a better film, but it didn't work out that way. Those who commented are all excellent producers but their comments confused the images in my head. I was questioned in much the same way as at film school – the motivation of the characters, stuff like that. But I am not that kind of director. I am not that kind of screenwriter. Everything is visual in my mind, and I combine all the visuals into a story."
"After I received comments, I didn't feel comfortable. I sat down for a whole day in front of my computer and replied to each comment one by one. HBO replied that they believed in my vision, so I started writing the screenplay right away," Pen-ek says.
"Pob" is made in black and white, which is unusual for television, and some channels, HBO among them, normally don't allow anything but colour.
"HBO learned that the film was being shot in black and white while we were shooting and told me this wasn't allowed. I pointed out that I had written a note in the script stating that the entire film would be in black and white except scenes 14, 27 and 36. They replied that they had misunderstood. I still filmed it in black and white and when HBO sent someone to check on the production, they asked me to stop the filming and go back to talk.
"The lighting for colour and black-and-white is different and we'd used camera effects for the scenes in which the ghost appears. We'd already shot all this and it was far too late to change. But I have to give credit to HBO for finally allowing me to do it my way. I finished the production and the editing and sent the rough cut in black and white. Now everybody likes it in black and white."
Pen-ek's films normally feature well-known Thai actors but here again, he has veered from convention. The main characters in "Pob" are Nuttapon Sawasdee, Parama Wutthikornditsakul and Thomas Burton Van Blarcom, all of them new to film. "All my films used stars, which is a condition for marketing, but for this film, there's no such condition as it is a television film. I will never agree with that kind of condition again. The guy who plays the journalist is a friend of an artist friend and the person who plays ghost is an extra in Thai films."
The director has in fact made two versions of "Folklore: Pob", one the 53-minute version for HBO Asia, and the other a 61-minute version, which was the one screened in Toronto.
"All the scenes are intact but I trimmed some of them down. The executives at HBO prefer the 53-minute version," Pen-ek says.
"Folklore: A Mother's Love & Pob" were well-received at Toronto, and the series starts screening on HBO this month. Pen-ek's episode will premiere on October 28 but the fate of the 61-minute theatrical version remains uncertain.
"It's HBO's film," Pen-ek says with a shrug.

An investigation into the video's content was carried out by police
Two police officers who blasted out a rap song from their Essex patrol car late at night have been given "words of advice" by a senior officer.
A film was posted on YouTube showing the car in Chelmsford with KRS-One's Sound Of Da Police being played.
A spokeswoman said: "They acknowledged they had inappropriately used the patrol car PA system."
The YouTube clip shows the car blasting out the line "Woop, woop, it's the sound of da police".
The patrol car was filmed playing KRS-One's Sound Of Da Police
Asked about the incident in April, when the footage came to light, Police and Crime Commissioner Nick Alston, said the question had "caught me on the hip hop".
"I like people to have a sense of humour," he told BBC Essex.
"It's a question for the Chief Constable, but if someone's sense of humour got ahead of their judgment then maybe it's forgivable, but let's have a look at the facts."
Sound of Da Police was released by US rapper KRS-One in 1993 and refers to police in New York.

Preparation, and expert guidance are key for a successful middle-market business transaction.
Owners and CEOs of middle-market companies may encounter a business acquisition or divestiture opportunity without the benefit of prior transaction experience. Likewise, such organizations may be supported by a finance and accounting function that has not participated in the purchase or sale of a business.
While investment bankers and other advisors are well-positioned to initiate transactions, and provide guidance throughout the process, the company's own management team – particularly in the area of finance and accounting – may need to be augmented by additional deal-experienced resources.
The assessment by a first-time buyer or seller of the transaction-readiness of its finance and accounting resources is an important step toward achieving the objective of accelerating the completion of a transaction while minimizing the disruption of the underlying business.
The sections that follow identify a number of concepts a first-time middle market buyer or seller may wish to consider in assessing its level of preparedness for a transaction.

Nigeria simplifies visa processes for tourists, investors. The federal government has introduced visa-on-arrival process for high-net-worth foreign investors.
Lai Mohammed, minister of information, who disclosed this, said the visa processes for foreigners who wish to visit Nigeria for business and tourism purposes had been reviewed with a view to removing bureaucratic bottleneck and encouraging business travellers and tourists. In a statement issued by Segun Adeyemi, media aide of the minister, in Lagos on Sunday, Mohammed said the measures were part of the action plan for the ease of doing business as well as efforts to boost tourism, within the overall context of the administration's economic diversification agenda.
Mohammed added that the measures by NIS fit perfectly into the 60-day national action plan for ease of doing business in Nigeria that was approved recently by the Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council (PEBEC), as well as the administration's efforts to boost international tourism. Africa: How Nigeria Loses Millions of Dollars to South Africa, Rwanda, Gambia in Global Tourism. For the second year running, Nigeria shunned the just-concluded World Travel Market in London.
Funke Olaode, who attended the three-day global event, examines the dire economic implications for the country and how Nigeria loses multimillion-dollars in travels and tourism Since its debut 36 years ago, the World Travel Market usually organised in London, the United Kingdom, has remained a melting point for 187 countries across the globe to share ideas on how to improve tourism and travel industry -but more important, to deal in multimillion-pound tourism enterprise. The gigantic exhibition centre situated in Excel, East London, is an avenue that attracts common interests and offers stakeholders the opportunity to keep up with latest insight on travels. With recession facing many countries and the dip in oil prices, not a few countries are exploring their tourism potential as support system to boost their economy.

Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Culture, Tourism and National Orientation, Mrs. Nkechi Ejele told journalists after briefing President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja on Wednesday that the President had assured that he would consider culture and tourism in his administration's economic agenda. She identified inadequate infrastructure, lack of funds and lack of national carrier as some of the problems working against the development of tourism in the country.

The federal government is set to develop the tourism potential of the multi-purpose Kashimbila Dam in Takum Local Government Area of Taraba State by setting up a Project Delivery Team of Kashimbila Resort Project.
Tourism in Nigeria: Quietly budding. ONE of the sectors, which Nigeria banked and hoped on for rapid growth and quick germination into a full-scale economic activity and pride before it clocks 50 years, is tourism.
According to historical record, the sign was vivid right from 1472 when the first foreign vessel that ever landed on Nigeria's shore was a Portuguese merchant ship with trade-tourism mission. It gave hope that Nigeria would soon become one of the most sought after tourism destinations in the world. While the colonial masters did not show any move at deliberate development of tourism sites except some games and forest reserves, no tourism sites was developed by them. However, two years after Nigeria's independence, some Nigerians who had seen the unbundled tourism potentialities and interested in promotion and marketing Nigerian tourism formed the first tourism club in Nigeria, Nigeria Tourists Association (NTA).
Nigeria to establish tourism information desks at airports. The director-general of the Nigerian Tourism Development Corporation (NTDC), Mrs Sally Mbanefo has expressed her readiness to establish Tourism Information Desk in major Airports across the country in a bid to present a better image of Nigeria to the International community.
The NTDC boss who stated this when she paid a courtesy visit to the Subsidy Re-Investment and Empowerment Programme (SURE-P) boss in Abuja further revealed that the agency would also produce a branded magazine for private sectors and government establishment to showcase their tourism assets. "I will ensure publication of a National Domestic Tourism Calendar for all, set up Tourism Information Desk at major airports, produce NTDC branded magazine for private sector and state government to showcase their tourism assets, organise a television quiz game show that will educate Nigerians on tourism sites and reward them for visiting the sites.

Best of times… a Thai romantic movie
Best of times is a Thai romantic drama movie that was released in 2009, and this movie got several international awards. The movie stars Arak Amornsupasiri, Yarinda Bunnag, Krissana Sreadthatamrong, and Sansanee Wattananukul.
The story is about 2 couples. The first one is a young adult couple, Keng and his first love, Fai. Keng is a veterinarian who has never forgotten his first love even if she married and got divorced to his best friend, while Fai also cannot forget her first love or her ex-husband. And the second one is Uncle Jamras and Auntie Somphit, who fall in love late in life. Keng gets to know the older couple when he is a volunteer teacher teaching computer for senior people as part of a community service sentence, and while he tries to help this couple, he learns and tries to win Fai's heart.
For me, Best of times is a thoughtful movie. Some parts of the movie are a bit slow and unrealistic, but the overall is good. The movie is about memory. While the first couple is the story about forget the first love, the second couple is the story about trying to remember their last love.
"Things we want to remember, we forget. Things we want to forget, we remember."
Here is the official trailer with English subtitle. Enjoy watching!

Top 7 Mistakes With Mobile Friendly Web Design
Unless of course you have been remaining from the Internet these last couple of days, you will know on April 21 Google will probably be moving out a mobile optimisation formula (and when you'll need more details, we've covered the announcement here). Based on Google's Zineb Ait Bahajji in the Website owner Trends team, this will probably be one from the greatest updates you've seen from Google up to now when it comes to the number of individuals will suffer – larger than Panda and Penguin – although no specific number was handed.
While April 21 may be the day that's since been labeled the "Mobile-Pocalypse," it's essential that smaller businesses start putting mobile guidelines into action immediately. The efforts you're making now will matter come April 21, and when waiting until only a couple of days before, it may be past too far. Fortunately, Bing is causeing this to be update super easy for all of us by telling us precisely what mistakes most companies are earning if this involves mobile.
The 7 Most Common Mistakes Webmasters Make When Optimizing for Mobile
As talked about above, Google really produced helpful information that outlines all the most typical mistakes they find Website owners make once they get and try their websites mobile-friendly. And thus, without further ado, here are the very best seven mistakes right out the horse's mouth together with links that get you to some full report for every specific point:
Blocked JavaScript, CSS, and Image Files
When the Googlebots are not able to gain access to JavaScript, CSS, and image files, indexing will probably be harder since the Googlebot can't call at your site such as the average customers. This usually happens in case your site's robots.txt file disallows moving, which again, poses an issue for indexing and can bring lower your ratings:
How you can repair it: Make use of the Fetch as Google feature in the search engines Website owner Tools to ensure that you can observe the way a Googlebot is seeing your articles. It's also wise to look at your robots.txt in the search engines Website owner Tools and test out your mobile pages using the Mobile-Friendly Test. All of these options can help you identify any indexing problems.
Unplayable Content
The final factor Google really wants to see is really a video that's not available to customers because that's a frustrating experience. Many content types, for example Expensive, fail to work on all mobile products and for that reason cause unplayable content.
How you can repair it: Use HTML5 standard tags for animation and employ video embedding that's playable on all products. Google Web Designer might help allow it to be simple to create animations in HTML 5 to ensure that your articles is much more broadly accessible.
Faulty Redirects
This occurs most frequently for those who have separate mobile Web addresses since it can make you redirect mobile customers on every desktop URL right mobile URL. Regrettably, a lot of companies do that wrong and send every mobile user towards the desktop home page, for instance, that is incorrect because that is not exactly what the mobile user requested as heOrshe clicked on.
How you can repair it: The answer here's easy: Make use of a responsive web design. This can instantly serve exactly the same content for desktop and smartphone customers. You may also look into the Smartphone Crawl Errors of the Website owner Tools and you may simply find out if any faulty redirects were detected.
Mobile-Only 404s
Sometimes companies get their websites setup to ensure that customers can easily see a webpage on the desktop, however when they struggle to go to that very same page on the mobile phone there's a 404 error. The important thing here's to make certain you have the same page that may be offered on mobile (see # 3 above) after which redirect customers to that particular URL rather than serving a 404 error.
How you can repair it: Look into the Crawl Errors report in Website owner Tools and check out the smartphone tab to find out if any Web addresses are 404 errors. Once more, a responsive Web design also needs to fix this issue.
App Download Interstitials
In case your business includes a native application, it's essential that you make certain it's not necessary any indexing issues when marketing that application. Quite simply, make certain that customers can continue to begin to see the page's content and not simply a sizable application advertisement. Go to the link above to determine an excellent screenshot.
How you can repair it: Make use of a simple banner to advertise your application inline using the page's content. Google suggests Wise Application Ad banners for Safari to assist.
Irrelevant Cross-Links
It seems sensible that for those who have mobile Web addresses and separate desktop Web addresses to connect to each around the opposite platform. Regrettably, a lot of companies are connecting to Web addresses which are irrelevant, like the home page you'd see on the desktop if somebody is reading through in regards to a product on mobile.
How you can repair it: Check your links to make certain they're pointing towards the best (or identical) pages!
Slow Mobile Pages
This one is fairly self-explanatory. In case your pages are loading too gradually this is particularly problematic for mobile search because individuals are often on the run.
How you can repair it: Use Google PageSpeed Experience to determine not just what could be leading to your website to load gradually but exactly how to repair the problems.
The Takeaway
Ultimately, whatever you listen to Google ought to be the first move. Should you be unsure how you can even begin planning a mobile presence, begin with the tips above and go lower their email list. Once you've fixed a few of these common errors, you need to have the ability to make out the print other steps you can take to boost your time and efforts. Have you got any ideas on a few of these tips from Google? Isn't it time for that mobile update in April? Tell us within the comments below.

Ever since seeing the movie Black Panther, I've been fascinated by all the lessons one can take away from it. I was delighted, therefore, to learn about what the Ron Clark Academy did with their students. This nonprofit middle school, located in Atlanta, set up a three-day event in which they created classes and presentations related to Wakanda—all designed to share lessons from the movie as well as to provide the students with experiences that exposed them to African history and culture.
Before the final day that culminated with all students going to see the movie, they:
- Listened to and played characters in traditional West African stories about Anansi the Spider
- Ate Nigerian food
- Learned about African drums and dances
- Studied kinetic and potential energy in their science class and related it to the vibranium used in T-Challa's Black Panther suit
- Made bracelets in math class like those created by Princess Shuri with "Kimoyo" beads, and then calculated the surface area of the beads
- Had a lesson in Xhosa, one of the languages spoken in the movie
- Conducted research about the real kings and queens of Africa
As the Ron Clark Academy showed, this movie provides an exciting way for students to learn science, math, and history, as well as important cultural arts. It also provides fodder for valuable critical discussions. Included in curricula that have been developed since the movie came out are discussions about:
- The legacy of colonialism
- How Africans are portrayed in the movie
- The role of Black women in Wakanda
- Racism and colorism
What would happen if middle schools all over the country did this? The Black Panther movie is such a wonderful way to interest children in learning about history, culture and important life lessons. What would happen if a Black Panther curriculum became part of every public school's mandated curriculum?

Private bus operators invited to submit cost proposals to operate service
1. Jurong West commuters travelling to the CBD will have an alternative travel option come third quarter 2013 when the new City Direct (Jurong West) service is implemented under the Bus Service Enhancement Programme (BSEP). With limited stops and the use of the Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE), the journey time is expected to be comparable to taking a feeder bus service and transferring to a train into the city.
2. For a start, the new City Direct service will operate two trips on weekday mornings at 7.30am and 7.45am respectively from Jurong West Avenue 3 towards Robinson Road and Marina Boulevard. In the evening peak hours, the service will operate two return trips at 6.15pm and 6.30pm respectively from Central Boulevard and will travel along Shenton Way towards Jurong West Avenue 3. The service will operate on weekday peak periods excluding public holidays. More details will be announced closer to the implementation date.
3. The Land Transport Authority (LTA) is calling a tender today to invite private bus operators to submit their cost proposals to operate the new bus service. The tendering process will allow the most cost-efficient operator to win the rights to operate the service. The successful operator will have to apply for a bus service licence from the Public Transport Council (PTC), the regulator of bus services.
4. The move is in line with the Government's announcement at the Committee of Supply 2012 to explore the feasibility of engaging private bus operators to run selected aspects of the BSEP on a limited scale during peak hours to complement BSEP capacity improvements to existing bus services.

Irena Sendler
"I was taught by my father that when someone is drowning you don't ask if they can swim, you just jump in and help." – Irena Sendler
Irena Sendler was a member of the underground Polish organization Żegota (The Polish Council to Aid Jews) during World War II and head of its children's section. She saved approximately 2,500 Jewish children from the Warsaw Ghetto…… yeah, 2,500. As a worker in the municipal Social Warfare Department, Irena was able to gain access to the ghetto in order to proactively monitor any signs of typhus, which the Germans feared had the potential to spread outside if not quickly controlled. Irena was able to smuggle out the children by hiding them in her toolbox, ambulance, suitcase, and any other hiding spot she could think of (in a few cases even training her dog to bark when Nazis were around). When arousing German suspicions, she was arrested and severely beaten by the Gestapo. Despite having her feet and legs broken, Irena refused to give up the names of her accomplices and even managed to hide the names of the children she had saved (kept in the hope of one day reunifying families). She was sentenced to death by firing squad, but was able to avoid execution via the Żegota bribing the guards and putting her into hiding.
Very few outside of Poland knew of the incredible Irena Sendler until a group of high school students in Kansas (all girls) stumbled upon the story as part of their National History Day project in 1999. Seeing an article with the "over 2,000 saved" line, they originally thought it a typo, and aggressively searched for other collaborating sources. The project grew in scope, and the students eventually put on a play Life in a Jar, which told the story of Irene Sendler. It was a massive hit. The awards and recognition that Irena received afterward, both while living and posthumously, are countless.

When we first heard about Samsung's new Ativ naming scheme there were mixed reactions. Some liked it, others hated it, but almost everyone had a hard time pronouncing it. Whether you like it or not it looks like Samsung is committed to sticking with it.
Previously Samsung only used the Ativ name for tablets and phones, but that is about to change. Samsung is renaming all their Windows devices with the Ativ moniker. All devices will fall into three categories: Tab for tablets, One for all-in-ones, and Book for laptops. A few examples of the new naming scheme include Ativ Smart PC = Ativ Tab 5, Series 7 AIO = Ativ One 7, and Series 7 Chronos = Ativ Book 8.
Now all of Samsung's Windows products fall under one cohesive brand name, and we know how much they love doing that (Galaxy). It looks good for tablets and all-in-ones, but we can't help but miss laptop names like Chronos and Ultra. Do you like the new name scheme? Is Ativ a good name? Personally I thought Odyssey would have been a better name for Windows products, but they didn't ask me.

In Edmonton on a Saturday night, if you're going out on the spur of the moment and haven't made a reservation, I'd recommend a trip to Veggie Garden. As a fairly new restaurant (less than 2 years old, located where Oriental Veggie House used to be), they could always use the business, and they are rarely very busy. On times when we have gone there for lunch, we have often been the only customers there, or one of very few tables. I was quite happy to see that there were at least a good dozen tables filled in this small restaurant when we went there on Saturday night.
Despite being located in a terrible neighbourhood (south end of Chinatown, right across from the Hope Mission), Veggie Garden is actually a fairly nice restaurant. The decor is simple, but the restaurant is always clean and the family which runs the place are incredibly friendly and eager to serve. The free parking right out front is often full, but there are meters around each corner which are free (for now) after 6 PM and on Sundays. Veggie Garden is open seven days a week, and has an absolutely enormous menu, making for a good selection of lunch and dinner dishes.
And now, on to the food! (forgive the photos, I took them with my cellphone camera so they're a bit lower quality than usual).
|Crispy yum-yums!
|Happiness in a bowl
|Presentation a bit sad here.
|Suspiciously good chicken...
Although I neglected to photograph them, we also enjoyed two of the restaurant's smoothies ($3.99 each). While they offer exotic flavors like jackfruit and durian, the DH and I were not very brave on this account and opted for strawberry and mango. The smoothies can be made vegan with soy milk upon request. Both smoothies were delicious, they are almost pallet-cleansing like a sorbet. I found them well worth the $3.99, especially as the restaurant does not offer alcoholic beverages (food follows Buddhist tradition).
Aside from the sweet and sour pork, all of the items were enjoyed at Veggie Garden were fabulous. What was even better was the bill! We enjoyed four items and two drinks for a grand total of $36! The prices are ridiculously low here, which I think helps Veggie Garden to hold it's own against the popular Padmanadi, which is located just down the street. For those of you planning to visit Veggie Garden for the first time, I would definitely recommend the lemon chicken and any of the vermicelli bowls as a great way to get and idea of what kind of food the restaurant has. And, my own personal favorite happens to be the soft chowmein (#34, $6.99), which features tofu if faux meat is not your thing.
Despite it's location, I give Veggie Garden my highest recommendation. Overall, a great restaurant with great staff that is really deserving of our business. And with their very low prices, I won't be surprised if they continue to get busier, so get your lemon chicken while you can!
