Multinationals, Globalization And Ethical Challenges. An Empirical Evaluation
1.1 Background of the Study
Multinational corporations are important factors in processes of globalization. National and local governments often compete against one another to attract MNC facilities, with the expectation of increased tax revenue, employment, and economic activity. To compete, political entities may offer MNCs incentives such TO PLACE AN ORDER FOR THE COMPLETE PROJECT MATERIAL, pay N3, 000 to: BANK NAME: FIRST BANK ACCOUNT NAME: OKEKE CHARLES OBINNA ACCOUNT NUMBER: 3108050531 After payment, text the name of the project, email address and your

These ways of attracting foreign investment may be criticized as a race to the bottom, a push towards greater autonomy for corporations, or both.
The 20th century development of low cost technologies of communication and transportation has shown the potential for globalization which has become available to virtually all. Because of essential needs for an expanding market and low cost labour and materials, the most aggressive thrust toward globalization has, of course, been that of the business community. And it is the multinational corporation in particular, that has been subjected to the most intense critique. Globalize business expansion has been variously excoriated for its exploitation of foreign workers (and women in particular), ruthless destruction of natural resources, disregard for the safety of its working conditions and products, marketing of essential products, and its destruction of local cultures.
For a chorus of critics, multinational corporations have
been singled out as worst case examples of ethical consciousness (see for example, Muller, 1974; Tugenhat, 1973; Vernon, 1977; Levitt, 1970; Lavipour and Sauvant, 1976; Tavis, 1982). Such criticisms have scarcely gone unanswered. Defenders point to the effects of the multinationals in increasing employment opportunities for thousands of otherwise impoverished peoples, creating an entrepreneurial infrastructure in third world nations, contributing to the democratization of otherwise autocratic nations, and even contributing to the end of apartheid in South Africa.
Further, in the mushrooming of international voluntary organizations (Cooperrider and Passmore, 1991), commentators point to the potential of globalization for altruistic and life-giving ends. However, much of the argument on behalf of globalization, and particularly in the corporate sector, has remained defensive. Strong attempts are made to generate ethical guidelines, and to avoid undesirable publicity (though the development of public relations offices). But the general posture remains one of quiet reserve toward the ethical dimension of globalizes expansion.
Based on these, the researcher tends to find empirically the impact of multinational corporations and globalization on ethical standard of Nigeria which will be captured with employment, gross domestic product and health standard of Nigerians
1.3 Statement of the Problems
Multinationals and Globalization are currently a popular and controversial issues. This is because their impact on economic growth is of positive and negative. Many researches have been conducted towards finding the relevancy of multinationals/globalization to economic growth and development. The results of the researches lead to the controversies that associated with globalization and multinational corporations.
This current research on multinational, globalization and ethical issues in Nigeria is to bridge the gap that exist between these parties involved in the controversy and at the same time determine empirically the impact of multinational corporations and globalization on employment, GDP and health system of Nigerians.
1.4 Objectives of the Study
- To evaluate the impact of multinational corporations and globalization on ethical issues through employment generation.
- To assess the impact of multinational corporations and globalization on economic growth of Nigeria
- To determine the impact of multinational corporations and globalization on health conditions of Nigerians
- To offer some recommendations based on the finding of the study.
1.5 Research Questions
- Does multinational corporations and globalization have any impacts on ethical issues through employment generation?
- Does multinational corporations and globalization have any impact on economic growth of Nigeria?
- Does multinational corporations and globalization have any impact on health conditions of Nigerians?
1.6 Research Hypothesis
Hypothesis I
Ho: multinational corporations and globalization have no positive impact on ethical issues through employment generation.
Hi: multinational corporations and globalization have a positive impact on ethical issues through employment generation.
Hypothesis II
Ho: multinational corporations and globalization have no positive impact on economic growth in Nigeria
Hi: multinational corporations and globalization have a positive impact on economic growth in Nigeria
Hypothesis III
Ho: multinational corporations and globalization have no positive impact on health condition of Nigerians
Hi: multinational corporations and globalization have a positive impact on health condition of Nigerians
1.7 Scope of the Study
The study centre on multinational corporations and globalization and their impact on ethical issues through employment, economic growth and health conditions of Nigerians from 1990-2010.
- Significance of the Study
The study is intended to provide an understanding of the relationship among multinational, globalization, poverty, health and economic growth. It is designed to contribute to existing knowledge and literature on multinational corporations, globalization, health and economic growth. In this light, it will provide scholars with more intellectual raw materials for further studies.
The study is of importance to the government and policy makers in their formulation and implementation of policies. Since the problem concerns the entire society and the policy formulated and implemented by the government have a multiplier effect on the whole economy, the entire society and all the sectors of the economy will benefit from this study.
- Limitations of the Study
This study was also faced with certain constraints such as limited time frame with which to collect all necessary data, lack of financial resources, limited accessibility to data and literature.
- Contextual Definition of Terms
Multinational corporations: These corporations are business entities that operate in more than one country.
Globalization: This refers to the process of the intensification of economic, political, social and cultural relations across international boundaries.
Ethics: Is a measure of deciding a course of action for man. It is the welcomed cultural heritage that determines what is allowed in the society.
2.1 Theoretical Literature
A multinational corporation (MNC) or multinational enterprise (MNE) is a corporation enterprise that manages production or delivers services in more than one country. It can also be referred to as an international corporation. The International Labour Organization (ILO) has defined MNC as a corporation that has its management headquarters in one country, known as the home country, and operates in several other countries, known as host countries.
Some multinational corporations are very big, with budgets that exceed some nations' gross domestic products (GDPs). Multinational corporations can have a powerful influence in local economies, and even the world economy, and play an important role in international relations and globalization.
Globalization refers to the process of the intensification of economic, political, social and cultural relations across international boundaries. It is equally aimed at "making global being present worldwide at the world stage or global arena". It deals with the "increasing breakdown of trade barriers and the increasing integration of World market (Fafowora, 1998:5). In other words, as Ohuabunwa, (1999: 20) once opined:
Globalisation can be seen as an evolution which is systematically restructuring interactive phases among nations by breaking down barriers in the areas of culture, commerce, communication and several other fields of endeavour. This is evident from its push of free-market economics, liberal democracy, good governance, gender equality and environmental sustainability among other holistic values for the people of the member states.
There is no doubt whatsoever that globalisation is one of the most challenging developments in the world history. As Tandon (1998A:2) once opined, "globalisation in its most generic and broad sense is part of the movement of history". In other words, globalisation which is an "imperial policy" (Toyo, 2000) and the "final conquest of capital over the rest of the World", is deeply rooted in history and quite explainable within the context of the one -arm banditry and exploitative antecedents of capitalism which, by its nature cannot exist without parasitic expansion.
Given the changing faces and phases of globalisation and its immutable central and primary focus to exploit African resources, disintegrate its economies and incorporate it into the international capitalist economy, it is imperative to emphasis that, the different conceptions, notions and treatment of globalisation by scholars are not incompatible with one another. The limitation of these conceptions, notions and treatments, however, is that, it does not describe the sudden yet significant shifts in the world economy, but, rather, simply the continuation of longer term trends. Rather, the new development which seems to connect these different strands is that an increased pace of capital mobility has begun to shift the prospects for economic development and growth to the global level – an indication of the expropriation of surplus and capital flight from the African economies.
Nigeria and the Multinational Corporations
The Nigeria nation existed with all the natural resources she was endowed with before coming in touch with the Western world. Nigeria like the rest of the African nations had her peculiar kind of civilization and development before the arrival of the white man in the 15th century. The contact with the white man resulted into a trade, which marked the beginning of the doom of the African nations at large because of the imbalance in trading pattern. This marked the starting of the development of Europe and underdevelopment of African nations including Nigeria.
As if this imbalance was not enough, the West came down to effect physical domination of the continent and to rape it of her precious raw materials. Thus, with the Berlin division of the continent in 1884, the rape was heightened and given international recognition and support. This situation continued until the coming into the scene by African nationalists who schooled abroad, to demand for self-rule. The West granted independence to the colonies and handed over political powers to these "European-Africans" as the rulers of the independent states. These new rulers were described by Franz Fanon (2004) as 'Black Skin, White Masks' meaning that they were extension of Europe; that is more of Europeans than Africans. The African states including Nigeria were in the hands of these men when the MNCs came on board mainly to replace the white rulers in the area of economic exploitation. So the exploitation contract was signed and sealed with these 'Black skins, White masks', who did not know at that time the implications of the contract, and when and where they knew were helpless about the situation.
So whatever the MNCs are doing in Nigeria has the backing of the Nigerian government, no thanks to the unfair contract signed. The way the Nigerian government is protecting and supporting the MNCs against the restive youths of the Niger Delta who are making just and legitimate demands testify to this. The actual implication of the contract signed is that the Nigerian nation is the fake owner of her God-given natural resources who receives only royalties or pittance while the major profit is transferred abroad to the home countries by the MNCs who now are actually the real owners of the raw materials. There was a time during President Buhari and Idiagbon's regime when the Nigerian government could no longer bear this unfair treatment of the MNCs and tried to circumvent the terms of the agreement by way of increased tariffs and taxes. The MNCs on the other hand undermined this move by way of double accounting. By the principle of double accounting, which goes by way of the MNCs determining the price of the equipment they bring inside the country and at the same time determine the price they pay for what they take from the country.
In this situation Nigeria lost more money than ever. However, the unfair treatment by the MNCs has come to stay and Nigeria cannot really do anything positive about it. If Nigeria should ask them to go, the high level of corruption in Nigeria will not allow for effective replacement. If Nigeria attempted to sack them, Nigeria will not find it easy in the international market because there the Western world will conspire against Nigeria. So these MNCs have become a sort of devil's alternative.
Negative Impact of Multinational Corporations
The clash between multinationals and host countries has been most intense in the less developed economies. Individual critics and public officials have leveled vociferous charges against the policies of international corporations and their alleged negative consequences for the economic well-being and development of the host nations (Gilpin 1987). This view prompted the reaction of Onimode (1982) and to conclude that there is more myth than reality in the developmental activities of the MNCs in Nigeria. He further stated that a thorough empirical analysis of the impact on the Nigerian economy and consciousness will reveal the following:
1) Decapitalization of Nigeria: This thesis argues that most of the capitals in the form of profits are not invested in the country but sent to the home countries of MNCs for investment, thereby rendering Nigeria industrially underdeveloped. The royalties or pittance paid to the government European Journal of Social Sciences – Volume 19, Number 3 (2011) 384 by these MNCs cannot because of its meagerness be employed into heavy industrial projects. In brief, the MNCs export abroad the capital that would have been used to develop Nigeria
2) Technological backwardness: It is in the area that the MNCs are regarded as the worst culprits because it is in this section that the MNCs play their greatest trick imaginable. The MNCs by way of purporting to help industrialize Nigeria create a branch-plant economy of small inefficient firms incapable of propelling overall development. The local subsidiaries exist only as enclaves in the host economy rather than as engines of self-reliant growth.
The negative impact of MNCs on Nigeria is most noticeable in this area of technology transfer. There are four main reasons for this assertion;
- a) Most of the imported technologies came under the industrial property system of restrictive patterns and license. This is a very sensitive barrier for Nigeria. The implication of this is that Nigerians cannot copy and internalize these technologies even if they have the capacity and willingness to do so because it is illegal for them to do so.
- b) The MNCs jealously guard the technological know-how of their technologies by way of refusing to make use of competent staff. By implication Nigerians cannot learn from the technicians the intricacies involved in the production of the material or product.
- c) Another point of skillful deceit by the MNCs is the fact that where qualified and competent indigenous staff are to be exposed to the technological know-how of a type of production.
- d) The MNCs increase the mal-distribution of income in Nigeria and other less developed countries. The case of oil workers earning in a month what some federal civil servants earn in a year does not augur well with the development of the nation. This step creates a class-conscious society, which does not help development as such.
Other forms of negative effects include:
- Structural Distortion: The principle of industrialization in an open economy of the Nigerian government in relation to the MNCs has given the MNCs the freedom to choose their line of operations, the locations of their industry and other productive processes. The MNCs natural base is usually in urban centers of the Nigerian society like Lagos, Kaduna, Enugu and Port-Harcourt. This urban concentration of MNCs distorted the structure of the society by enhancing an uneven "development".
- Political Instability: Because these corporations require a stable host government, which of course is sympathetic to capitalism, they try as much as

I watched the last episode of Ashes to Ashes this morning and it was a decent end to a very good show. Having come to it in the second season and never seen Life on Mars, I still found the stories interesting and I loved the 80's feel. Keeley Hawes is great as DI Alex Drake although I wonder if she's a bit of a Time Lord considering how many period pieces she's done. Philip Glenister is excellent as DCI Gene Hunt who was in Life on Mars also. He always had some great lines in every show and really portrayed "mean cop with a heart of gold way, way, way deep inside" well. Ashes to Ashes is one of those series that could be transplanted or shown straight on mainstream American TV and do okay.
Well better than Life on Mars did.

My achievements since my last blog...three quilts bound, threads buried, and hanging sleeves stitched down and quilts delivered this morning! The exhibition is this weekend.
These are my lovely quilts that I will blog about over the next week...
1. Red Hot Basket, 2. Pam Holland Christmas Beetle, 3. Pink Blooms
One eleven year old birthday party arranged and enjoyed....
Bouquets arranged for the bride and bridemaids (no I am not a florist!)
These were some of the flowers I used, my daughter had played around on my phone and downloaded the Colour Effects app onto my iphone...I love this monochromatic background...note the patchwork books on bookcase!!
And of course one sister married and happy!
Here we are, just before we went to the church, Jess is wearing my veil, which a friend bought for me from an antique shop in the U.K. 23 years ago...I am not sure how old it is, it looked lovely on the day...I got to be a "matron of honour" although my sister kindly called me "Best Sister" in the wedding program. She is not normally that much taller than me, I am in flats...check out the shoes she wore!
And the Home Sweet Home quilt, has finally gone home, and the giving of it brought on a few tears.
So it's been a crazy couple of weeks, but personally very rewarding. I think I might have a few days of reflection before deciding what project to do next....I did get the Farmer's Wife book so I am very tempted to join in on that Quilt-a-long, I also would like to do something with my Japanese + and x blocks, and I still haven't quilted this quilt, which I had planned to put in the exhibition but ran out of time...decisions....decisions...oh yes and there is a bit of housework that probably should be done too...bah humbug ;)

Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte vows to end online gambling
December 26th, 2016 by Fire Casinos
Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte vows to end online gambling
On Thursday the 22nd of December, Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte announced that he will put an end to online gambling.
"I am ordering the closure of all online gaming (companies). All of them." said President Duterte while presenting a budget for 2017.
However, this does not come as a big surprise, since Duterte announced that he will be taking a stance against online gambling in August 2016, when he said; "I will restore online (gambling) provided taxes are correctly collected and they are situated or placed in districts where gambling is allowed, which means to say, not within the church distance or schools." He also said; "I was mad because even the youth are gambling and there was no way of collecting the proper taxes."
The Philippines stands to lose approximately 10 billion pesos ($215 million) in annual revenues by not renewing the licenses of online gambling sites that are operating in its jurisdiction.
"Pay the correct taxes. Gamble until you die. I do not really care." said Duterte.

From The Mouth Of Maidens
Chris Ingham talks to Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson about his recently released 'Best Of' album, plans for the next Maiden record and just what happened to the much mooted Trinity project with Rob Halford and Queensryche's Geoff Tate.
How did the 'Best Of...' come
about, Bruce?
"So what we do have is a double CD with one disc being the 'Best of' and the other 'Catacombs' for mega fans only. There's also 2 new tracks so I'm happy that I haven't ripped anyone off."
Looking back on your solo career
from a critical point of view it seems that the records were of two separate
halves. On one hand you had the 'Tattooed Millionaire'/'Balls To
Picasso'/'Skunkworks' stuff and then the latter half a very metal sounding
'Accident of Birth' and 'Chemical Wedding'. Does that two part approach sit
nicely with your own vision?
"'Tattooed...' was different to the rest because it wasn't a 'serious' attempt at making an album. It was done because we could. And I was in Iron Maiden which was different. Adrian (Smith) had been doing one for months at that point, Janick (Gers) was around and he was depressed and thinking about quitting playing and I had this itch to scratch so we wrote it in his front room. We presented 'Bring Your Daughter...To The Slaughter' to various labels and it went from there. We did that for fun and sold enough - 80'000 in the UK off the back of two hit singles 'All The Young Dudes' and 'Tattooed Millionaire'. We ended up selling half a million copies of 'Tattooed'...yeah, it fucking amazed me as well!|
"The next time I came to make a solo album I actually made three. Only one of which I released - 'Balls To Picasso'. It was a very expensive process that. I made two thirds of one album and abandoned ship. I was trying to re-write 'Tattooed Millionaire' with the band who formed Skin basically. Janick was a mate and we were close so it worked being lose and chummy. Skin we're assembled already so I was the outsider. I scrapped it because of me - I wasn't happy with my attitude not theirs. Finding yourself that way is an expensive form of therapy I can tell you."
What was it that you were looking
"It seemed to me that there must be something wrong in my life 'cos I couldn't write anymore. Everything I did was in Iron Maiden's style - terrifying for me as someone contemplating a solo career. Basically I had no clear idea of where to go or what to do.
"So off I went to LA and working with Keith Olsen. I was after a dark, scary and moody vibe, like Peter Gabriel's 'Intruder' and 'Self Control' stuff and all that. So if I was drawn to dark rock then I should scratch that itch, Unfortunately Keith wasn't the man to capture that idea, though a lot of good stuff did come from that session - 'Tears Of The Dragon' for example."
How did you finally talk yourself
into taking the solo plunge full-time?
Was there a defining moment of
clarity that you stumbled across?
But now you have travelled a full
circle - you are in Maiden again and yet you are doing solo albums - so how
will you avoid the same mistakes? How will you maintain your freedom?
What will happen if you and [long time Bruce producer] Roy Z write a
song and Maiden want it again?
"There is a new song on the best of called 'Broken' which is Roy and me messing around with a classic Maiden style song. While we were writing the new tracks for the 'Best Of' we were also doing stuff for my new solo album and I heard Z play a what was a Maiden song basically. It was a 1985 Maiden type riff so we recorded it with vocals for a laugh. It's Roy Z and Bruce doing Maiden '85. We did it for a laugh but we wouldn't do an album. We're all of us involved in 'Chemical Wedding' so proud of it that we wouldn't wanna fall off the wagon and move back into cliché territory."
So you don't perceive the dual career thing as a problem anymore?
"It's good that all the people that I worked with in my solo career went away and did well for themselves. I couldn't live with the idea of stumbling across anyone I'd worked with living under the arches somewhere...the idea if you'd stuck to the green grocers and not followed me on some wild dream then at least you'd still be safe in the grocers..."
You seem to have formed a tight bond with Roy Z - he's produced most
of your own work now, what are his strengths?
Won't it be hard to go straight from writing/recording one album into
the next?
"Because of the nature of Maiden's sound - and years ago I had a big thing about trying to fuck around with it - it's a challenge to work within it and still satisfy your needs. Maiden is what it is and that will never change. And it's a different challenge again to do a solo thing. We're not as limited as with Maiden but it's a hell of a challenge to get it right in Maiden with the stakes being so much higher.
I thought it was just about whether Steve [Harris] liked it or not?
"Another reason why I'm looking forward to doing it this way is because as a genuine solo artist you have to work to deadlines. I had to deliver an album every 18 months or I'd starve. Now I don't have to come up with an album every 18 months. I have a comfort zone. I do think that there's been a comfortable gap between the last Maiden record and my next solo one. But if it wasn't working for me I'd now have the comfort zone of being able to say, 'Nope, lets shelve it'.
What happened to the Trinity project involving you, Rob Halford and
Queensrÿche's Geoff Tate?
"It was bloody interesting writing in that way. I was there doing demos in three different vocal styles singing Rob'isms and Tate-isms to indicate whose voice should be doing what."
You worked with Rob Halford for a cover of 'I'm the One You Love To
Hate' already so were you looking forward to doing a full album?
(Laughs) "I don't know what Rob Halford has down his throat but it ain't natural..."

This is a good question for newly parents to ask Early Interventionist before making a decision how their new Deaf baby will be nurtured at start. Over 90 per cent of the parents of Deaf babies are hearing.
Let's define the word, outcome, in relation with ideologies from different organizations working with deaf babies and children such as AGBell, EHDI, VOICE(Canada), etc. The definition of "outcome" is this: "The results or evidence of the Deaf child's learning and social experiences".
I would like for you to tell me your outcome with whatever you have been through whether it is Deaf bilingualism or Deaf oralism.
It is the fact that at least 80 percent or more of the Deaf babies have started with the oralism approach at the beginning and then why we are still having problems with Deaf education today since this ideology of oralism only approach started over 100 years ago.
Here is what Susan Gregory from University of Birmingham said about Deaf children of Deaf parents;
Success of deaf children of deaf parents
There have been many studies of attainments of deaf children, a number of which indicated that deaf children of deaf parents were more successful academically than those with hearing parents. These results emerged in studies of reading, writing and academic achievement and, in some instances, spoken English. Attributing this to the early use of sign language in these families lead to the conclusion that sign language could be beneficial in the education of deaf children.
The issue is, of course, more complex than this. For example, some have argued that this greater achievement could be because the deafness was due to genetic, rather than other causes, which were more likely to be associated with other additional disabilities. Alternatively, or in addition, it may be that deaf parents are better at establishing the general pre-linguistic skills that are essential for later language development, and this facilitates higher levels of attainment. However at the very least it could be said that the early use of sign language with deaf children does not inhibit intellectual and linguistic development.
The finding is reinforced in other studies. A recent book published in the USA, based on a review of 208 studies involving 171,517 deaf people, found a superiority of those born to deaf parents on a number of scales from non-verbal tests of IQ (Braden, 1995).
Seems that the outcome of successful Deaf children is bilingualism.
Should we start discussing with AGBell, EHDI, VOICE(Canada) about the outcomes of their ideology and how we can work and collaborate for what is best for Deaf babies and children in schools?
What you say?

Global markets were mostly weaker overnight, with stocks failing to fire despite another positive set of US economic data.
The major US indices were mixed, as investors showed little reaction to data showing a bigger-than-expected decrease in weekly jobless claims.
The Dow slipped 18 points (-0.1%) to 16445, the Nasdaq dropped 10 points (-0.2%) to 4156 whilst the S&P500 added one point to 1837.
In Europe, markets stayed weaker after the ECB made no change to eurozone interest rates.
Although this outcome was expected, analysts were nonetheless disappointed there was no further stimulus announcement from the ECB, particularly with the region facing a growing risk of deflation.
The German DAXx and French CAC lost 0.8% each, whilst the UK FTSE weakened 0.5%.
Gold arrested a three session losing streak but its gains were unconvincing as traders remain cautious on the precious metal in light of the improving US economy.
Elsewhere, oil slid to its lowest level in eight months, but a bumper US jobs report tonight could offer some respite for crude futures.

In 2012 Alderman was appointed Professor of Creative Writing at Bath Spa University, England.[1] In 2013, she was included in the Granta list of 20 best young writers.[3]
Her father is Geoffrey Alderman, an academic who has specialised in Anglo-Jewish history.[4]
Alderman's literary début came in 2006 with Disobedience, a well-received (if controversial) novel about a rabbi's daughter from North London who becomes a lesbian, which won her the 2006 Orange Award for New Writers.[5] Since its publication in the United Kingdom, it has been issued in the USA, Germany, Israel, the Netherlands, Poland, France, Italy, Hungary and Croatia. Her second novel, The Lessons, was published in 2010.
Her novel The Liars' Gospel (Viking) was published in paperback in 2012.[6] Reviewing the book, Jewish cultural magazine Jewish Renaissance described it as "an entertaining, engaging read" but found the story it told "uncomfortable and problematic. Your enjoyment of the novel will depend on how you respond to the premise that Jesus was, potentially, an 'inconsequential preacher'".[6] Set in and around Jerusalem between Pompey's Siege of Jerusalem (63 BC) and Titus' Siege of Jerusalem (70), it is narrated in four main sections from the perspective of four key figures: Mary (mother of Jesus), Judas Iscariot, Caiaphas and Barabbas.[7]
All three novels have been serialised on BBC Radio 4's Book at Bedtime.[8]
She wrote the narrative for The Winter House, an online interactive linear short story visualized by Jey Biddulph. The project was commissioned by Booktrust as part of the Story campaign, supported by Arts Council England.[9] Her Doctor Who novel Borrowed Time was published in June 2011.[10]
In 2012, Alderman was selected as a protégé by mentor Margaret Atwood as part of the Rolex Mentor and Protégé Arts Initiative, an international philanthropic programme that pairs masters in their disciplines with emerging talents for a year of one-to-one creative exchange.[11]

Bloomberg Law's combination of innovative analytics, research tools and practical guidance provides you with everything you need to be a successful litigator.
A Nebraska policy that prevents gays and lesbians from adopting children or serving as foster parents is unconstitutional, the Nebraska Supreme Court affirmed April 7 ( Stewart v. Heineman , 2017 BL 114901, Neb., No. 16-018, 4/7/17 ).
The court's holding will allow gay and lesbian individuals and couples to be evaluated for foster care or adoption under the same standard—the best interests of the child—as heterosexual individuals and couples, starting immediately.
Here, three same-sex couples sued the governor and various state agencies, alleging an administrative memo that stated that "children will not be placed in the homes of persons who identify as homosexual" violated their equal protection rights.
The lower court agreed with the plaintiffs. On appeal, the state argued that there was no legal controversy because the couples hadn't applied to be foster parents and thus weren't harmed.
They also claimed that there was no longer a controversy because they had removed the memo from their website.
The case presents a real controversy, not a hypothetical situation not fit for judicial resolution, Judge John F. Wright wrote for the court.
It would have been futile for the couples to apply, the court said.
The memo stated that "'heterosexuals only' need apply to be foster parents. It is legally indistinguishable from a sign reading 'Whites Only' on the hiring door," the court said.
The couples didn't want to suffer the "stigmatic harm of unequal treatment" and didn't need to, it said.
Furthermore, one couple actually did begin the application process, but encountered a three-year delay, the court said.
"Clearly" they don't have to suffer more "personal rebuffs" to demonstrate their stake in this action, it said.
And the state's "eleventh-hour removal" of the memo from its website doesn't moot the claims, the court said.
Once sued, a defendant can't simply claim that it voluntarily ended its unlawful conduct so that the controversy no longer exists, it said.
The defendant "bears the formidable burden" of showing that the conduct couldn't reasonably be expected to recur, the court said.
The defendants here "made no attempt to meet this standard," it said.
Judges Michael G. Heavican, Lindsey Miller-Lerman, William B. Cassel, Stephanie F. Stacy, Max J. Kelch and Jeffrey J. Funke joined the opinion.
The American Civil Liberties Union Nebraska Foundation, Inc., and Sullivan & Cromwell, LLP, represented the couples.
The state attorney general's office represented the defendants.

5th Anniversary: Gift Ideas That Your Spouse Will Love
Share this site with:
Although many people may fret over what to get their significant other every year for their anniversary, couples searching for the perfect items can often find guidance from traditional gift ideas. The
5th anniversary
is one of the first major milestones in a marriage, a time when many couples can look back and realize how their relationship has strengthened each individual and helped them become stronger as a team. It is fitting that in celebrating a 5th anniversary, tradition calls for a couple to exchange wooden gifts. Is a
wood gift
the last thing that your spouse would like? The
modern 5th anniversary gift
, a spin on which might be more appealing to your spouse.
Gifts made of wood suggest longevity, which is a great way to celebrate the years a couple will enjoy together as well as the years that have passed. A common gift that couples share during this special anniversary is planting a tree together. A couple can look on that tree and see its growth as a physical representation of the love each person has for the other and how it stays grounded amid storms that are sure to come. It can also serve as a reminder that just like a tree, their future relationship takes nourishment in order to thrive.
For others, more personalized gifts may be more appropriate. Wood can be shaped into almost anything, so the possibilities are nearly endless with this traditional anniversary gift. Some common wooden gifts include the following:
Jewelry box
Wooden silverware chest
Grandfather clock
Custom wooden sign
Wooden chess set
Wooden humidor
wooden pool cue
may also be the perfect gift for your loved one.
For those who want to have a unified theme but are not too excited about the idea of wooden gifts, the modern take on anniversary gifts can be used instead. Although the
5th anniversary calls for silverware
, something that may be the perfect present for your significant other, these gifts need not be limited to forks and knives. Anything made from
will fit the theme, so like wood, the sky is the limit. Silver is a strong material that can withstand time in much the same way wood does, making it perfect to celebrate this anniversary. Common silver ideas include the following:
Silver coffee or tea sets
Silver princess tray
Jewelry is one of the most common gifts because it can easily be personalized and there is so much available from which discerning spouses can choose. The 5th anniversary gem stone is sapphire or pink
, so gift-givers can incorporate the rocks into their
earrings for a pop of color
Couples can get creative with the
silver theme
and really make their gift stand out. Did you travel together? Commemorate that time by giving your spouse a silver figure of one of the places you visited, such as the
Eiffel Tower
. Does your loved one have a favorite picture? Pick out the perfect silver frame to keep that memory safe for years to come.
Whether your spouse prefers wood or silver, they will appreciate the thought and effort that you put into choosing their gift. Thanks to the versatility of the materials used during the 5th anniversary, choosing the perfect gift was never easier.

MANOA (KHNL) -- Choosing a college can be tough.
It's even tougher when you're a top football recruit, and schools are constantly calling you.
That's what it's been like for Damien's Kama Bailey.
But just like on the field, he's taking it all in stride.
For Kama Bailey, recruiting season is just like his regular season -- wild.
"It's been crazy, you know, school just coming and call you, and asking if they wanna talk to you," said Bailey.
Bailey set a single season state record with 2,098 rushing yards.
He also scored 22 touchdowns.
But even these numbers, aren't attracting the powerhouse Division One schools.
"It's not frustrating," he said. "I'm actually excited just to get offered to play at the college level, I never really think I come to the point for me to play level, but now it is, now the opportunity's here, I just gotta cherish and have fun with it."
The Warriors haven't offered Bailey a scholarship, but did invite him to walk on.
"They going do what they wanna do. I would've love to play for UH, good time. Stay home and play for UH, but also, I love to go away and experience something different."
Bailey's only requirement -- a team with good chemistry.
At a school with good architecture and engineering programs.
That's what he wants to study.
"For me, I just use football for me to get higher in life, better education and get a degree. That's what I really want is a degree cause, like I know I ain't gonna be able to play football forever. So I need a degree, and I can go places with that.
Kama is a good student, carrying a 3-point-5 GPA.
Idaho, Idaho State, Navy, and Weber State are interested in him.
But Kama hasn't said where he's going yet.
National signing day for recruits is February 6th.

Frequently asked questions.....
How and when do I get my placenta to you?
Once your baby is born you will call the contact number you were provided with and we will pick up your placenta at the hospital or your home as determined in our agreement. You may also opt to drop it off and pick it up yourself at our location (in Burlington/Hamilton Ontario, or Beaumont Alberta) for a slightly lower fee.
How do I store the placenta until it is picked up?
The hospital may package it for you but we always recommend you bring a Tupperware/Ziploc type container with a lid just in case. If it will be longer than 4 hours before we pick it up or it is delivered to us, your placenta needs to be kept refrigerated.
How long does the process take?
If you have chosen the Traditional method of encapsulation your capsules will be returned to you within 48 hours. If you opted for the RAW method it takes longer to dehydrate, which means it will usually be returned to you within 72 hours.
Are there any negative effects of consuming my placenta?
At this time there have not been any negative results reported as a result of consuming placenta capsules. A few women have reported headaches after taking capsules processed with the RAW method, but it is not clearly know if there is indeed a correlation.
How do I make arrangements to have my placenta encapsulated?
Contact us to let us know you would like to book your encapsulation. You will be connected with our Placenta Specialist who will make the arrangements with you to reserve your due date. Or click on the button at the top of any page to go directly to our booking agreement form.

The government of Canada has announced that the Start-Up Visa program, a pathway to Canadian permanent residence for entrepreneurs launching a company in Canada, will become a regular feature of Canada's immigration landscape in 2018.
In the months ahead, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will work to finalize regulations for the permanent program in order to have a seamless transition when the current pilot expires on March 31, 2018.
The Start-Up Visa program encourages immigrant entrepreneurs to grow their companies in Canada. Successful applicants link with private sector organizations in Canada, where they can receive funding, guidance and expertise in opening and operating their enterprise in Canada. More than 50 Canadian venture capital funds, angel investor groups and business incubators are now designated to participate in the program.
Since being launched in 2013, a total of 117 principal applicants have been approved for permanent residence through this program. These entrepreneurs represent 68 start-ups launched in Canada. The government is hopeful that more immigrant entrepreneurs will be approved over time, benefiting the Canadian economy.
"Every company launched in Canada with the help of the Start-up Visa Program has the potential to be a big win for Canadians by providing middle-class jobs and strengthening our economy," says Canada's Minister of Immigration, Ahmed Hussen. "Our government's Innovation and Skills Plan has identified the nurturing of entrepreneurship and the growth of start-ups as vitally important to Canada's present and future economy. Making the Start-up Visa Program permanent supports that agenda."
Hussen's cabinet colleague, Navdeep Bains, added that "Canadians benefit through the jobs that are created when entrepreneurs come from all corners of the globe to start businesses in this country. By making the Start-up Visa Program permanent, Canada will attract more innovative entrepreneurs who generate new business opportunities, create jobs and equip Canadians with the skills they need for the jobs of the future."
Mr Bains is Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development.
In order to be eligible, applicants for a Start-Up Visa must meet the following requirements:
- Meet minimum language requirements in English or French (CLB 5 in all abilities);
- Have sufficient funds to settle in Canada;
- Plan to settle in a province other than the province of Quebec;
- Pass Canadian security and medical clearances;
- Prove that the business is supported through a designated organization; and
- Show that the business meets ownership requirements.
No more than five foreign nationals may apply for permanent residence as part of the same business venture under the Start-Up Visa Program.

To ensure the stability of power supply of the international airport Domodedovo the specialists of the branch of OAO MOESK – the Southern electric grids – have completed the works at the substation 110 kv Vzletnaya on the replacement of section and line oil circuit breakers with the sulfur hexafluoride ones.
The Vzletnaya substation has been commissioned in 1994 and together with the substation 110 kv Yakovlevo is one of the key objects, which provide the power supply for the infrastructure of Domodedovo airport. The power supply area of the substation also includes the population centers of the Domodedovo district – the villages of Aviatsionniy and Krasniy Put'.
So far the commissioning trials have been carried out, the new equipment has been put into service. The upgrade of the substation was carried out within the investment program of 2012, it took five months. The cost of the works amounted to over 14 million rubles.
Compared to the oil circuit breakers sulfur hexafluoride ones are more adapted towards different climatic conditions. Their timely replacement allows to prevent repair cost by increasing the period between repairs up to 15 years, to prevent possible technological failures as well as to considerably raise the stability of power supply for consumers.

Extreme BASE Jumping – Ever Been Told To Take A Flyin Leap?
BASE jumping is an acronym of four types of objects the jumpers leap from: Buildings, Antennas, Spans (Bridges) and Earth. BASE jumping is so incredibly risky that it's actually illegal in many places -- so don't try this at home kids -- but this look amazing!
Jeb Corliss takes a leap of faith and jumps off of cliffs and soars like a bird with the aid of his "Wing Suit." No tricks of photography, no strings -- this is not an illusion -- this guy just jumps! Talk about no fear -- crazy!

Project Management
Some of our customers just need help in delivering a specific project. We offer the expertise of having worked on both the client and agency side and fully understand how to manage expectations, executing any project on time, in budget and to brief.
Here is a brief summary of some of the projects and the companies we have had the pleasure of working with:-
TJam was Tesco's first ever undertaking of an open forum and required the involvement of Tesco customers, suppliers and technical developers. The project needed clear and direct project management, including sourcing a facilitation and recruitment agency to oversee and support the day. The objective was to define where Tesco.com was going to be positioned in the next 5-10 years. With more than 200 people attending, the day generated over 800 business ideas, helping to shape their future business strategy. It was considered a resounding success and Charles picked up two awards from Tesco and his University for going above and beyond and exceeding expectations.
One of Greencore's major clients was M&S and there were many projects being worked on at any given time. One example was the brief to design a new pack for their Gluten-free sandwich range. Working closely with the M&S team and a design agency in-depth co-ordinated market research was carried out before the project was delivered, presented and successfully adopted by M&S. The design is still being used today.
Working with Aimia's customer Sainsbury's, involved the management of a diverse range of projects, with a notable client base such as Mars and General Mills. Taking marketing plans and creating marketing campaigns and activities plus meeting with buyers, clients and Sainsbury's in-house design team, projects covered all aspects of the store shopper marketing suit, such as entrance gate shrouds and in store shelf barkers.
A recent project for Ape was delivered for a key client Noble Foods, specifically their Happy Egg and Big and Fresh brands. This required the management of new pack design, website communication and the creation of a text message with survey "text to win" competition. This fully rounded campaign delivered above expectations, with over 25,000 text entries.

Vincent's Y Story
Vincent attends the Y's Afterschool Program in Taylorsville. One day, Vincent did not want to work on his homework and was being disruptive to other youth who were trying to work. Program Coordinator, Brittany, asked him why he wasn't working on his homework and he said that he didn't think he could do it because it was too hard.
Brittany started talking with Vincent about other things and eventually brought the conversation back to math. After asking him to teach her how to do a math problem, Vincent created his own problem on the board and showed Brittany how to work through it. Brittany snuck a look at Vincent's homework and wrote one of the homework problems on the board. Vincent showed her how to do the problem and finished it himself. When Brittany revealed that he had just completed one of the problems on his homework, Vincent excitedly sat down with Brittany to teach her the rest of the problems. He was so focused on completing his homework packet that we worked on it for 45 minutes straight! Vincent continuously works hard on his math homework and now has the confidence that he can learn to solve the most difficult problems.

Finn (Jakku)
Click photos for larger images
• Sculpt/Articulation: Finn (Jakku) is an all-new figure and features 5 joints (5 total points of articulation): swivel shoulders, hips, ball-socket neck. The enclosed BAW part can be attached to the figure via a hole in its back.
• Accessories (1): Resistance Blaster Rifle
• Build-A-Weapon Parts (1): weapon backpack/mini tank, BAW instruction sheet
• Related Build-A-Weapon Figures: Constable Zuvio, First Order Flametrooper
• Other Notes: Finn (Jakku) is also available with exclusive deco in the ARMOR FIGURE assortment (shown above) and as an exclusive pack-in figure for the Battle Action Millennium Falcon vehicle.
• The head for Finn and the helmet for the First Order Stormtrooper are swappable, allowing for the easy creation of a Finn in First Order Stormtrooper disguise (shown above).
• Packaging: Hasbro has addressed some of the past issues of prior lines by developing unique (and visually attractive) card backs for each figure, versus a generic overall line look. As with all product for The Force Awakens, Kylo Ren is featured prominently on the top of packaging while up the left side of the card, a dynamic illustration of the action figure's character is showcased. Bubbles are affixed to the card back by sandwiching them between a two-ply card front and back.
The Force Awakens product line is also broken down in to four subsections based on locales/enviroments from the film. Each subsection is color-coded and features a climate logo with Aurebesh text: SNOW (blue), FOREST (green), DESERT (tan), and SPACE (indigo). Also new for this line is a variation on the "Build-A-Droid" theme. This time, designated parts (one part each from three different figures in the same colored subsection) form a non-canonical weapon that can be used to further extend action figure play and expand the Star Wars universe.

In the case the option "/RECORD idump" is used, only the record number idump is read. For each record the procedure 'procedure' (default extension ".clic") is executed. This procedure may only contain the following commands : DUMP, HEADER, FLAG, MINMAX, GO, or any SIC command that acts on variables. Especially, variables defined by the VARIABLE command can be modified... The command GO [WRITE] must end the procedure. With GO WRITE, the data record will be updated; with only GO, the data record is not updated and CLIC loads the next record from the current index. If no GO command in excountered in the procedure, the loop is aborted. If a PAUSE command is found in the procedure, the PAUSE is executed, but the prompt changes to "MODIFY>". The same commands as above may then be executed from the keyboard; "QUIT ALL" may be used to abort the loop. The options /BEFORE and /AFTER allows to select data depending on their observing dates.


text: The College for Naturopathic Medicine is a leading worldwide natural health trainer. Operating from multiple sites in the UK, they turned to us to design and fit out their brand new Bristol college in Almondsbury whilst also procuring their loose and fitted furniture. Offering excellent training rooms and individual clinic rooms as well as office and library support, this 4,000 sq. ft. project was delivered whilst liaising with our client, who was based in United States for the duration, furniture manufacturers in Germany and support staff spread across the UK. The interior design took the client's key brand imagery and put it to fabulous use, whilst touching on tones of nature and the clinical edge that CNM portrays. The college will soon be home to over 100 trainees, and CNM's first permanent home in the South West. We are chuffed to bits with the end result.

Improve Organic SEO with Local Directories
Getting your website to rank well with Google and the search engines is obviously very important.
But how do we achieve that? There are lots of different ways such as blogging and organic search engine optimization. Another good way to improve your website's SEO is through building your website's digital footprint through local directories.
Why Your Website Needs an SSL
SSL, which stands for Secure Socket Layer, is a standard security technology that is used on websites to make them encrypted. It encrypts the information your browser sends to the server.
In a nutshell, an SSL is what you install on a website when you want your website and your users to be kept safe and secure. It's what you see at the top of your browser that makes it HTTPS instead of HTTP.
Why hire a local web designer?
Hiring a web design firm is an important task. Make it easier on yourself by making sure to hire a local web design company. There are plenty of good reasons for hiring local as outlined below.
Good Communication
Have a question about your website? Are you just not doing as well in the search engines as you would like? Go meet with your local web designer face to face. A face to face meeting is the best way to communicate, and with your designer only minutes away, it is the best way to talk about difficult technical issues.
Better Accountability
A web designer who is local is held more accountable by being near his or her clients. Word travels fast, and especially if it's a poorly run business, other people are going to find out. That's death to a small business, and no web designer wants to get a bad reputation.
You're just more likely to get a web designer who is invested in the project if he is local to your area. There's more at stake to him than just your project.
What About Specialization Web Design Firms?
There are many web design firms that specialize in a certain "type" of website, such as websites for lawyers, or websites for veterinarians, or websites for dentists, etc. They get clients by specializing in this area, but are they actually good at what they do?
Some firms like these may be adequate, but do your homework. Many make their money from providing a cookie cutter website, a load of extra services that you probably don't want, and yet they overcharge.
People hire these types of companies because they claim to "specialize" in their industry...but really they just target that niche. They aren't necessarily any more qualified to create a website for a veterinary clinic than any other web design firm, but because they claim to specialize in that field, they seem like a good option.
Again, sometimes they are a good option. Just don't automatically hire them because they claim to specialize in your industry. Compare prices, compare portfolios, and if there's ever any doubt, always choose local.
What About National Companies?
Many people will get a marketing firm like VistaPrint, GoDaddy, or a similar agency to design a website for them. Whether you do a cookie-cutter design or if they actually design a website for you, we don't recommend this option either. Having a smaller, local company handle your internet marketing and website is a much better option.
Dangers of Hiring an Overseas Web Design Company
Even riskier than hiring a web designer from the other side of the state or country is hiring a web design company from overseas. There are a lot of other factors to consider.
Quality Work
Knowing you are getting quality work is difficult when you hire an overseas web design company. It's hard to know how legitimate a company is when they're so far away and in another country. You don't want to end up paying twice for the same work if it has to be redone.
Lack of Trust
Another main problem with hiring overseas is the lack of trust. It is difficult to identify the reputation of the overseas company. Identify theft is another concern when paying for services offshore.
When it comes to risk vs. reward, going local is the right choice. There isn't a good argument for not going local, and by choosing a local web design firm you're definitely more likely to have a successful website.

The Software Sales and Support Department, as its name implies, deals with all matters related to the distribution and maintenance of specialized software solutions from our partners, the number of which is growing from one year to another. We offer software products well-known and popular around the world. With our help they are now well-known in Russia too. Leading Russian oil companies and its R&D centers are our customers for many years.
Contact us to talk about your problems and we will help to choose the optimal software product that will help you to solve them.
The desired product is not among those we offer? This does not mean that we will not help! If the product you need exists in the world, we'll find and deliver it to you.
Software Technical Support and Maintenance
As we provide services for oil and gas companies, our specialists have sufficient experience with the promoted software products and are providing Russian-speaking software support. This allows our clients to receive consultations in a shorter time and in a native language.
The Department's experts advise our users on all issues related to the use of our software, as well as provide updates, corrections, and new software products as they become available released by developers. The service is provided in the framework of an agreement on technical support, together with the developers of the respective software products.
Training courses for the use of software
The computer itself does nothing – people do. That's why it is not enough to buy a software product – one also need to know how to use it. Unfortunately, not everyone thinks about it.
The training course is not included and is not part of technical support services. It must be ordered separately. Yes, it costs money. But, first, the training is inexpensive and, secondly, the money spent will repeatedly and promptly pay back because trained professionals begin to work faster and in a more efficient way: they don't waste time by learning new products at random and don't make stupid mistakes.
All manufacturers generally offer training in their offices. We will help you to choose the right course and reserve a place for you in class. If you need to train several people (3 or more) or to provide training for special (not standard) program, it is advantageous to invite the instructor to your office. Our partners are willing to come to Russia and we, if necessary, will arrange for everything else, from a computer room to translation.
Presentation of the software capabilities
PETEC experts are willing to provide information about the features and benefits of promoted software products. Information can be provided by phone, email or during the live presentation at yours or our office.

There are times when I simply love my job: bringing this blog to you. Last Saturday was one of these days. After my Sri Lankan food crawl with friends, I decided to venture out of traffic on the 101 and head into Hollywood. I got my nails painted and paid double what I normally pay ($8 instead of $4). It was on Melrose so I endured the street mark-up. Plus they offered me a beer and perhaps the longest time since a nail has chipped, so it was worth it. After this indulgent day, I gave my leftover Sri Lankan food to a homeless man because of that annoying new Kesha song, "'Cause when I leave for the night, I ain't coming back." I knew it would be awhile before that food hit a fridge. I stayed in Hollywood and went to the International Wine Fest thrown by Drink:Eat:Play. Since I was without Josie I hit the wine extra hard until running into some of Dan's (the event thrower) friends that I met at his Party Bus Birthday. If you know how to throw a great birthday then you know how to throw great events, which is why we try and make it to all of Dan's shindigs. One of Dan's friends, Louise, made sure I made the switch from white to red and was my party companion from the night. So, what wines were great?
The one that we all loved and were entering the name into our cell phones, as to not let our drunk selves forget, was Calcu. It was a Chilean blend made of 65% Cab. If there is one thing in life I truly love, it is a fab cab. This was it. Another wine that I enjoyed, but didn't have the masses behind was a wine called Festivo, an Argentinian Malbec. It was so mild and perfect. No strong aftertaste. It was funny because my makeshift date for the night was Louise, who is quite the fireball. She was loving the spiciest and peppery wines and I was doing something I never thought I, a UG, would do. I was drinking and dumping. I finally understand, if you want to taste, sample, and critique as many wines as possible then you can't be that drunk. The best thing about Dan's events is that he always plans ahead. He had K & L Wine Merchants who had more than 4 tables brings wine. What does this mean? It means anything you like you can easily buy only a few blocks away.
Aside from the regular Renaissance Hollywood Hotel food spread there were some unexpected treats. One thing I loved were these delicious one bites from our new friend Adam at Viva La Foodies and some sweets from Bittersweet Treats.
Just like Sake Fest and the Speakeasy that came before, this event was a complete win.
After the event ended I was feeling a little tipsy and hung around with Dan passing out flyers for free cover and a drink at the exclusive Boulevard 3 on Sunset. Dan and I grabbed a bite at Lucky Devils and I consumed my first sloppy joe in probably 15 years. It was bomb. Dan, who has hosted the Gourmet 5 Year Old party with lobster mac n cheese, has a special appreciation for comfort food done right.
We were serenaded to a great rap song on Hollywood Blvd. while we waited for the car and met up with Josie at Boulevard 3 where Dan had the hook-up.
Truth has it, neither Josie or I are Hollywood club girls. Sure we have been to Le Deux but we stay away from such places on weekends. Boulevard 3 was without question our best club experience in Hollywood. We were escorted to our (Dan's) table and treated completely like VIPs (unusual for us UGs). We had some free drink flyers but forget about that, everyone (including the commoners, us on a regular night) gets free tacos and chocolate fondue all night. Plus there were dancers on the stage that we could all watch. Not just cute girls but men…hot men with incredible bodies. This lead all of us ladies to ask the question: Why don't more clubs do this?
A huge thanks to Dan and Boulevard 3 for expanding our palates, whether it be with wine or the Hollywood club experience, and for making us feel like VIPs instead of UGs, even if just for a night!

cool event, we'll look for the Calcu, thanks!

It has been reported that approximately 50 people have been found dead whilst on a boat carrying hundreds of migrants was intercepted off the coast of Libya. Scores of bodies have been found on board of boats carrying migrants since January 2015.
It is believed that these people have died due to asphyxiation, this is a condition of being deprived of oxygen, in simplified terms, and the migrants have died due to suffocation or smothering.
Approximately 430 were rescued from the boat where the 50 migrants were found dead. Thousands of migrants have lost their lives trying to cross the Mediterranean to arrive in Europe, all of which have set sail from the coast of Libya.

The summer has been a frustrating one for Gooners everywhere as we haven't added any first team players to our ever dwindling squad but despite all of that people have still managed to find their humour and there have still been some hilarious tweets over the summer, these are 5 of my favourites.
5. When discussing the rumour of Rooney transferring to Arsenal @Blackburngeorge had a great reply.
Old Doris the tea lady will be shitting herself. She might be part of his demands
4. @HighburyHarold comes up with a genius way of doing deals when buying the new Arsenal kit.
Going to The Armoury today for the new shirt? At the till, offer £25. When they refuse, wait 30 seconds then offer £17. #DickLawStyle
3. @OfficialKing12 came up with some impressive chants for our new boy Sanago.
Wake me up Yaya Sanogo we hope your better then the twat from Togo. Sanogo woo Sanogo woo we bought him from Auxerre he's got no f***ing hair.
2. @SavvyGooner with his never ending wit gives his opinion on Arsenal's transfer rumour fiasco that has ensued this summer.
So theres Higuain, Rooney and Cesc in a taxi all on their way to a Medical, they add up each others Fees and are convinced it's April 1st.
1. Passionate Gooner @markedtaxi expressed the sentiment a lot of the WOB have felt this summer when they were told by AKB's that Wenger would definitely spend some money.
@markedtaxi: If Arsenal spend big this summer I'm gonna look like a right cunt……but at least ill be a happy one!
Thank you as always for reading and if you have a funny tweet or any saved in your favourites please forward them on to @NikiBerryTPiB or firstname.lastname@example.com

This morning we wake to the announcement that rock'n'roll Brit model Georgia May Jagger has been chosen as the, beautiful, face of Roberto Cavalli's new female fragrance, Just Cavalli which will launch in February 2013.
As the daughter of rock royalty Mick Jagger and supermodel, Jerry Hall, the sultry Georgia with those pouty lips and big blonde hair was an obvious and apt choice for the brand whose signature style is sexy, playful and somewhat provocative. And it seems Cavalli himself agrees, stating that "Georgia is the perfect choice to incarnate Just Cavalli. She is a playful temptress."
Georgia is no stranger to beauty campaigns either, as the face of British beauty brand, Rimmel, the model who is renowned for her signature gap-tooth smile, stands in good company with the likes of Kate Moss, who she accompanied on the catwalk at this year's London Olympic Games Closing Ceremony.
Françoise Mariez, of Coty Prestige, said of the signing, "Georgia is a talented fashion icon. She's sexy and provocative. Rock is in her DNA. She is the perfect muse for the new Just Cavalli feminine fragrance." We couldn't agree more.
