Nothing bunches up Republican underwear like taxes. "It is not the government's Muh-Nee!" they shout, necks bulging, "It's the People's Muh-Nee!" Lordy. Who could argue with that? To think I've been over-taxed and didn't even know it. Goodness. W's plan is fair, Mike Adams tells me. Compassionate. Yet, somewhere in the back of my mind, I have doubts. Some of those slick pols on TV have gotten me thinking ….
Start with the numbers. We keep hearing about a $1.6 trillion tax cut and a $5.6 trillion surplus. Neither is correct. The $1.6 trillion cut – which Bush campaigned on, the White House trumpets, and Lott invokes like a Catechism – is only the start. By cutting revenue, Bush would pay down the national debt more slowly (itself largely a product of the Gipper, a Republican who never submitted a balanced budget – not once). The additional debt service will add $400 billion to the cost of the plan. Add to that the cost of adjusting the Alternative Minimum Tax, an old mechanism for smoking out crafty tax filers, which would otherwise prevent many middle class people from getting relief. Add to that the cost of making the tax cut retroactive. In all, Bush's tax cut costs $2.4 trillion.
The surplus is chimerical as well. Half of the $5.6 trillion comes from Medicare and Social Security surpluses – money Congress took out of the budgeting process when baby boomers made it clear they did not want us fiddling with their safety net. The real surplus is more like $2.7 trillion, or, put differently, about the size of Bush's tax cut. Which brings us to the crux of the matter. This 'real' surplus is nothing of the sort. It is a ten-year projection, and ten-year projections have a way of being wrong. Bush assumes Congress will allow popular tax exemptions like the HOPE Scholarship to lapse. He assumes Congress will stick to the spending caps set in 1997, cutting domestic discretionary spending by 20 percent. He assumes spending will not grow as population increases. None of these assumptions is likely. Bush is spending money we do not have.
Bush Sr. called such supply-side cuts "voodoo economics" back in 1980. And when Reagan won the election, marginal rates dropped, revenue dropped as a percentage of GDP, and deficits soared. Oops. Twelve years later, Republicans hysterically warned that Clinton's 1993 tax bill would tank the economy. It ushered in eight years of record growth. Oops.
It has taken us 10 years of growth, two tax increases and several political scalps to balance the budget. For the first time in a generation, we can pay down the national debt – thereby lowering long-term interest rates, freeing capital and creating jobs. Yet Bush presses his tax cut logic: an unrestrained government spends more than it has in revenue, so we should fight deficits by … slashing revenue.
As troubling, Bush has separated the tax cut from the budgeting process. He wants to cut taxes first and then use the cut to force Congress's hand in cutting spending. But that means Congress will have to limit spending to 4 percent annual increases, as per the 1997 budget agreement.
Unfortunately, Congress doesn't quite work that way – as Ronald Reagan found out 20 years ago. If history is any guide, Congress will have less money, the President will offer no leadership on the painful task of cutting programs, members will balk, deficits will return, and other people will have to clean up the mess. Mom and Dad are ringing up the credit card debt, sending Johnny to community college and hoping little Suzy will pay for it all someday.
If Bush's economics are bad, his morals are worse. His tax cut favors the rich, plain and simple. The wealthiest 1 percent of Americans would reap 43 percent of the benefit. They would save about $50,000 per couple per year. Folks in the bottom twenty percent would save about $47. Money has decreasing marginal utility. The same dollar means a lot more to the guy meeting rent than to the guy buying his third car. If Bush likes across-the-board tax cuts, he could cut the lowest tax bracket only, as Tom Daschle has suggested. Maybe the bottom two. Or he could cut payroll (social security) taxes – the main burden on people too poor to pay income tax. Any of these would distribute tax relief more evenly.
Which brings us to the estate tax, which conservatives have labeled the "death tax," even though, as the New Republic observes, 100 percent of Americans die and only 2 percent pay it. The first $1,300,000 of a couple's inheritance is untouched by the estate tax. Which is why so few people pay it. Republicans, in response, cry "Family Farmer! Family Farmer!" Never mind that only one in twenty farmers leaves a taxable estate. Never mind that most Republicans never met a factory farm they didn't love. No, come tax time, every Republican has a pitchfork in one hand, a boombox blaring Copland in the other. Actually, we conservative Democrats like family farmers – good values and all. So let's exempt farms. Not ADM stock portfolios.
Which brings us, finally, to some basic tax policy. The purpose of taxes is to raise money. The question is, how? American tax policy has long rewarded hard work over dumb luck. In 1916 Congress passed the estate tax to fend off a distinctly un-American institution: the hereditary aristocracy. Today, the federal government taxes earned income (wages, salary, etc.) differently than unearned income (capital gains). You would think Republicans would support such work-friendly tax policies. After all, if a $1,000 welfare check discourages people from working, imagine what a $10,000,000 inheritance will do. Republicans complain that income tax discourages work. Democrats argue that government corrects market failures and promotes the common good. By both parties' logic, the estate tax should be raised, not lowered.
I can feel Mike Adams' chest tightening. R-R-R-Raise the estate tax?! Make the tax cut f-f-f-fairer?! His world is spinning. He needs help. Now! He is dialing 911. No, wait, he is dialing the White House. Get me W. Help! W: "Ah'll git you your Muh-Nee, Mike! Ah'll explain the morality of it to the People." Ah, better. Mike relaxes. Gated communities and country clubs across the country all breathe a sigh of relief. A sigh that whistles through W's head.

Putting all the information together.
by Anne Vaccaro Brady
Now that you've read my previous post, you know the information your senior needs to create his application schedule. Here's one way to do it.
My kids used Word, but a spreadsheet program like Excel works well, too. After visiting the admissions/application pages on each college's website to find deadlines and required materials, they created a schedule that went from earliest to latest deadlines.
Order test scores As soon as the list is set, your student must visit the SAT, AP, ACT and IB sites to order scores. A college will not begin looking at a student's application until all materials are received. You don't want your teen missing an important deadline because she didn't order her scores in time.
It can take up to two weeks for test scores to reach colleges. All involve a fee, though depending upon your financial situation, the fees can be waived. The testing companies send all scores they have on record for the student.
Print out forms Some colleges still request additional paperwork, like a college prep or teacher recommendation form. Your student should hand this in to the guidance counselor once he's completed the rest of the application.
The schedule Below is a sample of one entry that shows how a student can build a chart. Plan that your teen will send out two or three applications by each personal deadline, much more can be overwhelming, even if most of his schools use the Common App. Many colleges share the same deadline. Be sure your student shares a copy of this schedule with the guidance counselor.
My Deadline: October 7
Top Choice School #1
College Deadline: November 1
Application (online)
SAT/SAT II/ACT/AP/IB scores
Guidance Counselor:
College prep form
Counselor recommendation
Teacher recommendation
Top Choice School #2
College Deadline: February 1
Application (Common App online)
SAT/SAT II/ACT/AP/IB scores
Top Choice School #2 Common App Supplement
Completed applicant part of:
Teacher Evaluation
School Report (counselor evaluation)
Midyear Report
Final Report
Guidance Counselor:
School Report
Teacher 1:
Teacher Evaluation (online)
Teacher 2:
Teacher Evaluation (online)
Create entries for the remainder of the applications following the above guidelines.
Visit the guidance counselor Once each set of applications is complete, your student must bring the necessary paperwork to her guidance counselor and let him know the apps are done. In a few days, and before the college's deadline, your teen should follow-up with her counselor to check the status of the evaluations, transcript and other materials.
Track applications Your student should be able to sign in on a college or the Common App website to see the status of his application. Your teen should check on each application regularly until he sees that all materials have been received. Many schools will also email the applicant to say they've received everything or point out what's missing.
Share your thoughts on completing and tracking college applications in the comments section below.

Feb. 26, 2018
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Three members of Ohio State's women's volleyball program will travel to Colorado Springs, Colo. for the annual U.S. Women's National Team Open Tryouts (March 2-4) at the U.S. Olympic Training Center.
Middle blockers Lauren Witte and Jordan Fry will join defensive specialist Hannah Gruensfelder on the journey to don the Stars & Stripes. They are among 234 student-athletes from 89 colleges across the country vying for potential spots on the U.S. Women's National Team and U.S. Collegiate National Team. The event will feature 48 liberos, 50 middles, 62 outside hitters, 31 opposites and 43 setters.
Three-time Olympic gold medalist and U.S. Olympic Hall of Famer Karch Kiraly and the U.S. Women's National Team staff will lead the tryout process, which involves four sessions with three waves per session. Friday's first session goes from 4 to 10 p.m. ET, while Saturday's sessions are at 10 a.m. ET (focus on serve/receive and individual work) and 4 p.m. ET (middle-centered and out-of-system focus). The final session Sunday begins at 9:30 a.m. ET with tournament-style play, along with 16 to 18 athletes selected by the U.S. Women's National Team staff to participate in a "USA" training session. The Sunday session wraps up at 12:30 p.m. ET.
USA Volleyball will be using Facebook Live each day of the tryout to provide exclusive coverage to fans. USA Volleyball will use #USAVtryout as the event hashtag for photos, notes, quotes and stories posted to its social media platforms Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat under the handle @usavolleyball.
Last year, Taylor Hughes was selected as one of 12 players for the U.S. Women's Collegiate National Team Thailand Tour.

Developed by Bob Metcalfe at Xerox's Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) in the 1970's for supporting local area networks (LANs), Ethernet was part of a large raft of information technologies that emerged that year.* It is both a cable/socket design, and a digital data transmission format.
The most familiar form is the "fat telephone" or 8-wire RJ45 cable (see figure). There is also something called "industrial ethernet," which are really just extremely high bandwidth (>10 megabits per second-Mbps) Internet connections, not true Ethernet at all.
In order to understand the concept of Ethernet, it's necessary to mention the 7-layer OSI Reference Model.
The OSI Reference Model
(OSI article)
The OSI specifies how data from an application in one computer moves through a network medium to an application running on another computer. The 7 layers are organized as media(1-physical, 2-data link, 3-network, 4-transport) and host(5-session, 6-presentation, 7-application). Media, here, refers to the mode by which data is transmitted over distance; e.g., over microwaves, coaxial cable, and so on. Host, here, refers to any computer on a network that is capable of running applications. All devices on a network, regardless of capability or description, are called nodes. (Nowadays, cases of the node that can't run a program are rare; they include dumb terminals). So the "host layers" are responsible for the final communications between the network and the application (such as a web browser).
The physical layer includes the specs for cables and routers. The data link layer consists of the precise format for encoding data for transmission. The data layer for the TCP/IP suite is where the Ethernet format resides. The connection between the two formats lies in the signal frequency. Ethernet requires cables that support a range of frequencies, which creates very demanding performance requirements for cable and especially connectors. The interaction between Ethernet (the data format) and the network format takes the form of Ethernet II Framing. In the Ethernet format, each packet is an IEEE 802.3 frame, which specifies the format, content, and size of each packet. Each frame consists of the destination and originating MAC address (6 bytes each), followed by a 2-byte sequence that gives the length of the frame. The frame has to be between 64 and 1518 bytes in length. There is also a frame check sequence (FCS) that is used to check the integrity of the frame; this occurs at the end of the frame.
Inside that package, there is a logical link control (LLC) that communicates to the network interface card (NIC) the memory buffer from where the frame came, and where it goes. This allows the same NIC to support multiple network protocols concurrently. Frequently LLC and MAC addresses are regarded as two different sub-layers within level 2 [*].
The next layer up is the network layer ("Internet layer"); this is the format that describes the actual network structure. In addition to the Internet Protocol (IP) , there are also several mostly-defunct networking protocols like SNA, token ring, and so on. The difference between networking protocols, in the least abstract sense, is the routing decision. In IP, routing goes "outbound" to a router, then to another router, and eventually to the correct host. In a token ring (to take an alternative concept), a packet is routed to the next host on the "ring," along with the "token."
IP is the component of the Internet suite that resides at the network layer (3); it reads the MAC address and uses it to route the packet in accordance with the network architecture. Part of the technical difficulty posed by IP is that it addresses a network of networks. Hence, a frame is likely to pass through many routers as it goes from network to network. The part of the network that an individual router is connected to is called a subnet; each node in the network is connected to a router within the subnet. The level 3 IP address directs the packet/frame to the correct subnet, but requires the address resolution protocol (ARP) to convert the IP address to the correct (layer 2) MAC address.
Peculiarities of Ethernet
Ethernet is an architecture used for local area networks (LANs). The physical component of Ethernet—its radio frequency (RF) transmissions and high signal density meant that data loss and distortion became a serious problem if network segments exceeded 75 meters. That limitation has been pushed back to tens of kilometers, so that college campuses and even major cities may be connected by the extremely high bandwidth LANs Ethernet allows. At the same time, transmission rates for Ethernet are now approaching 10 billion bits per second (Gbps).
Ethernet allows the transmission of data along circuits with many nodes on each circuit. This means that all the different nodes on a circuit will receive all of the data transmitted down the circuit, but each NIC will be able to select only the data addressed (illustration). Another important aspect of the Ethernet protocol is that it is decentralized; hence, all hosts on the network must follow uniform rules such that there is no crosstalk (CSMA/CD protocol). This allows Ethernet to support a very large number of possible network architectures.
* Another was the C programming language; in '73, the Unix kernel was rewritten in C, which may be said to be the true birthday of that operating system. Also, the TCP/IP specification was developed and formalized that year, beginning the Internet. Yet another event was the release—also by Xerox PARC—of the Alto, which pioneered the graphical user interface (GUI) and the mouse.
Cables: Ethernet and "industrial ethernet" (notice the capitalization) have been routed over several types of cables. As I've mentioned, the most familiar is the RJ45 (EIA/TIA Category 5E twisted four-pair) ,which looks like a fat telephone jack. This has 8 wires, compared to the 2 in a phone jack.
Another cable design is the coaxial cable most commonly used for cable television. Ethernet versions of this are distinguished by the slightly different connector; while coaxial TV cable has a C connector, cable Ethernet uses the BNC connector. Usage has greatly diminished in recent years. (SOURCE: Edward F. Kuester, "Common Coaxial Connectors") The BNC/coaxial system is similar in appearance to the M12 connector, which is being marketed as a new industrial ethernet format.
A third format is the SC/SC Duplex, a type of fiber optic industrial ethernet connector. Industrial ethernet standards such as these are semi-standard or proprietary extensions of the Ethernet (IEEE 802.3) standard; they are intended to allow very high-bandwidth (>10 million bits per second) LAN media in an environment that may be very harsh to electronic components. (SOURCE: Emcore, Inc., " Fiber Optic Connectors")
Routers: a computer networking device that links nodes in a network, and routes transmissions among them. Routers vary immensely base on the networking format used and the physical mode (coaxial, fiber optic, RJ 4-pair twisted) used; however, all routers do basically the same job. Based on the data supplied by the frame, the router can identify where it must logically dispatch each data packet. Through a succession of logical branches, the frame will eventually reach the correct destination. (SOURCE: Wikipedia)
ADDITIONAL READING & SOURCES: Howstuffworks, "How Ethernet Works"; AutomationWorld, "Getting physical with industrial ethernet"; Cisco Systems, "Internetworking Basics"; very odd but entertaining explanation may be found at RouterGod ,"Robert Downey Jr. on the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet Frame"—this was the one coherent explanation I could find that incorporated a reference to a voluptuous sheriff's deputy and scented body lotions.

Warmorama: SSH ICx25, Imperial walkers IC x 20, Cotton Pickers IC x15 (RECOVER)
The Thang:
After the Warmorama "we" struggled counting off and partnering up.(which was a theme repeated at the close of the workout:) What should have been 7 pairs and one group of three ended up being four pairs and three groups of three. We the AO mosey north on front street to the parking deck. At the parking deck we corrected our groupings and began the FUN!!!
Instructions were given and the work began. At the start and at every switch the pair would do 10 partners Merkins. After the partner merkins, Partner 1 ran up the ramps and through every turn would do walking Lunges. Once partner one reached the top they would run (and Fast because it's down hill, right ParrotHead?) back down to the bottom without any lunges. Once at the bottom partner 1 will do wall squats until partner two finishes. While Partner 1 is running the ramps Partner 2 headed to the stairs. Partner 2 runs up the stairs at the Level 2 they will do 5 Burpees, Level 3 10 Merkins, Level 4 20 Squats, and Level 5 40 Imperial Walkers. After the Imperial Walkers head back to the bottom. Partner 2 does two rounds of stairs. After two rounds of stairs Partner 2 swaps with Partner 1 after completing 10 partner Merkins. Repeat as many times as you can in the time given.
When we ran out time we partnered up again to mosey back to the AO. New partner this time who you don't know. Get to know them on the way back. Once back with did two sprints to finish out the time.
COT: announcement Southern Toor Ultra this weekend with 4 F3 Cape Fear Teams, Advisory Meeting tonight 6:45pm Brewer's Kettle
Strong work Everyone. Was a honor and privilege to Q the workout today. So grateful for F3 and the men that make it what it is.

It is rare that I can get a good group photo of my children, so when I get them I hold on to them for dear life because I don't know when the next one might occur. Usually one or both of my children have a funny face on or are looking at something like a cat or squirrel that just ran by or are just in their own little world. This is a great picture of my boys and my dh Aunt Diane :)!
To show you what I mean about it is a hit or miss, here is the other group pic I took of them 2 min before and look what I came out with :D! Too funny!

This project has given me A Lot to think about. Thank you Dominic for the class I am in much need of this practice.
For starters I could not get the idea of ice cream out of my head (maybe because of my healthy diet) so I came up with these fun ideas. I liked the lightheartedness of it all but I'm trying to gravitate toward less childish illustrations so I moved on.
My new theme is WINTER. This might seem generic and expected because it is the season we're currently transitioning through but I really want to focus on a change of style and play with the colors more than anything.
My Emotins
Fear- An inexperienced skier about to hit a huge jump which precedes a pit of doom (yes this is from personal experience)
Envy- One child envy's another child's much larger better dressed snowman
Content- A warm cup of Cocoa (typical but here's where color experiementing comes in)
Lonely/Sadness- A lonely cold human with little shelter for warmth
Love- Two pairs of feet shaped under a blanket in front of one flame (not sure about this one)
Excitment- A child on a saucer sledding down a hill
With these illustrations I don't want to use faces, I have an idea of making the human shap and filling it with patterns and colors to further the study of color, emotion, and body language. I also was torn between depicting all these different activities or stick to one such as: Mixed emotions of building a snowman

This is a quality review of the Rad Rover, 300+ Miles. Rad Power Bikes – Electric Bike. A bit of a long video – but worthwhile if considering a Electric Bike. Covers the E-Bike, a couple of options, GPS addition, Bike Rack, Cover, more.
This is a quality review of the Rad Rover, 300+ Miles. Rad Power Bikes – Electric Bike. A bit of a long video – but worthwhile if considering a Electric Bike. Covers the E-Bike, a couple of options, GPS addition, Bike Rack, Cover, more.
Thanks for the great overview. Just now researching e-bikes & all the details you gave are a real help as I consider my options.
Install a GPS app then your phone will work as a regular GPS without any services.
I've been looking into a few different fat-tire ebike for several days now, mainly the RadRover and the Juiced HyperFat. Interestingly, I was escootering on the bike path near my home in RI today when I came up on a guy riding his 2016 RadRover. I pulled him right over and we talked for several minutes. He loves his ebike and only had great things to say about it. The only concern I have (with any fat-tire ebike) is that I will be riding it mostly on pavement and all you hear on these fat-tire ebikes are those aggressive Juggernaught knobbies wearing out and slowing you down. I don't know if any of these ebikes come with 26″x 4″ centerstrip road tires. Maybe I should be looking at the RadCity?
1:56 "Warsh it"? Mid-Westi?
I've been checking out these RadRovers online, and of course, it's virtually impossible to check one out in person since I live 2,100 miles from the factory…..so I have questions. I think my biggest one is centered on the weight. I believe the factory claims 63 lbs with the battery installed. That's *almost* double the weight of other non-powered fat bikes in that price range. You've added some additional items like the rear rack and fenders. Do you find that the all up weight is still manageable *without* the power assist? I don't want to find myself trying to pedal a boat anchor if the battery gets depleted while on a ride. What are your thoughts?
what's the fastest in MPH you've been able to go on this bike?
GPS & USB tips are great. Thanks
dont use a hose to wash!? voids warranty!!!
What type of bike rack is that again, link please thx.
Hi Christopher, I have been looking into ebikes and the radrover looks very good but i am quite large at around 300lbs being 5,7 would you recommend this bike
I am originally from St. Paul MN! Small world. I am about to pull the trigger on a RadRover white model. I moved to St. Augustine Beach, FL, which is a beach town. I have a couple 3G beach cruisers, which are great, but still biking on the sandy beach can get challenging. I think this bike would just make me want to get out and cruise in the sunny weather.
Great video Chris! thanks for the update. Heads up for you, someone at a shop recently told me to be careful when tuning or adjusting disc brakes, to not touch the rotor where the pads grab because the oils in your fingers could make them squeak or just not work as well over time. I mention this because you were getting pretty close there when pointing them out and I wanted to save you any wear and tear down the road 😀
How good is the battery? Does it hold a good charge each time? Do you notice any degrading in battery performance after 300 miles?
Hey Christopher, check your display module it has a USB port hookup hidden on the left side of it. No need to connect your GPS directly to the battery just connect it to the display module.
I have a Rad Rover which I really like a lot. It has 300 miles on it too !
I received it in mid June and have only have one real problem with it.
Did you know there is a USB port on the left side of that LCD ?
You can't charge with it But you can run your GPS on it to
which I have when I spent some time vacationing in Northern
Are you happy with the standard size fenders? You show the rear one flops around a bit. I'm thinking about getting the FULL size fenders but they don't look as good as the standard ones do. It's the old form vs function question. (besides price)
I am looking to buy one but would like to ride one 1st, I live in upstate NY by Binghamton,
Do those 'shorty' fenders keep you dry ? I've seen other reviewers that said they did not and recommended getting the 'full' fenders.
Great video! Thanks for covering the rack/cover setup, I like what you've done there. Great overview of the bike! Makes me love mine even more! A few more months and we'll be out on the road as well, can't wait!
Thanks again Christopher, keep em coming!
better off to take out the spacers for rack. just saying
I really like this video this is f****** awesome
Sondons is cheaper and better ebike
I'm 6'0 and 343 lbs. Will this bike support me? Everyone tells me to get a fat bike. There are a lot of hills where I live and I would like to have an eBike for the pedal assist until I get stronger. Any suggestions?
Hi Christopher! I don't know what type of terrain you have done most of your riding in (looks flat currently) but on hills have you had any trouble keeping the wattage at or below 500? Thanks for any info you might share about this or other observations.
What kind of bike rack is that you got please let me know
On their website they show a graph that clearly states that a 230 pound rider over hilly terrain should get 17 miles no peddling. Which should work perfectly for me. Would you agree with their claim?
Have you tried standing beside it and walking it up stairs with the power assist?
Good job on your video review.
Hello, Could you tell me where did you get the fenders for your Rad Rover. I am looking the same one like yours on my Rad Rover. Thank You!
One question for you, if you don't mind!! Does it have a place to mount a water bottle holder? if so – how far apart are the mounting holes from each other?
Great Video, I have a Radrover also. Love it, lost a lot of weight and have fun. But you need to get a level and have your seat set level, yours is way wrong.
This is a super, excellent, perfect, smooth review!

Ten most popular traditional festival celebrated in Igbo land.
Ndi Igbo: Living chiefly in eastern Nigeria are the Igbos. The Igbos are an ethnic group native to the present-day south-central and southeastern Nigeria. Geographically, the Igbo homeland is divided into two unequal sections by the Niger River– an eastern (which is the larger of the two) and a western section.The Igbo people are one of the largest ethnic groups in Africa. In the igbo culture, the igbo people celebrate lots and different type of festivals. below are list of 10 most popular festivals celebrated by the Igbos.
1. New Yam Festival
The New Yam Festival of the Igbo people know as Iwa ji, Iri ji ohuu or Ike ji, depending on dialect) is an annual cultural festival by the Igbo people held at the end of the rainy season in early August
The celebration is a very culturally based occasion, tying individual Igbo communities together as essentially agrarian and dependent on yam.
Yams are the first crop to be harvested, and are the most important crop of the region. The New Yam Festival is therefore a celebration depicting the prominence of yam in the social-cultural life of Igbo people
This is the official cultural outing of the king and members of the cabinet in the year. The Ofala Festival is an annual ceremony practiced mostly by the Igbos of anambra state especially onitsha, nnewi, agulueri and ukpo etc. The festival serves as a rites of renewal of the king or Obi. The festival is celebrated within two days mostly in October by the Obi. The festival marks the end of a period of retreat sometimes called Inye Ukwu na Nlo when the Obi remains incommunicado and undergoes spiritual purification for the good of the community. At the end of the week long retreat the Obi emerges during the Ofala to bless his subjects and say prayers for the community. Ofala is celebrated annually beginning from the coronation of the Obi to his death, the latter of which is called "the last Ofala.
In the past, masquerades were regarded as the means for maintaining peace and order and were primarily used as law enforcement agents. The whole village would come out for the ceremony of the colourful masquerades. While entertaining through dances and exhibiting extra-human feats, the masquerades would walk up to certain individuals and loudly expose any bad habits, crimes or misbehavior of that person. As people would always take corrections from these exposures, the masquerades were effective in keeping up with traditional norms and values in the communities. There are annual masquerade festival in most Igbo communities called ogbako mmanwu (gathering of masquerades) where masquerades gather in village squares or open filed to entertain people. notable among the masquerade festival is the annual masquerade festival in November organised by Enugu State which involves masquerade groups from various parts of the state.
4. Iwa Akwa Festival
The Iwa-akwa festival is one of the most beautiful Igbo festival which is been celebrated every 3years interval.
The Iwa-akwa festival is a ceremony where young men who has come of age are been initiated into manhood and given the opportunities to make their contributions in social cultural and political affairs of the community. In this stage of life they can now sit with elders, wine, dine, discuss issues as it affects the community and suggests solutions.
|Senator Ike Ekweremadu, Governor Ugwuanyi, Hon Toby Okechukwu and others during Iwa Akwa (Aju Festival) In Ugbo.
5. Igu Aro Festival
Igu Aro festivals are celebrated in some of Anambra's communities to flag off the annual planting season.The Aro festival also called the "Igu aro" is one of the most colorful and celebrated festival in igbo land especially in Umueri . The Festival has a prime position in the life of the people due to economical importance attached to it . Because the Oracular and Prophetic utterance of the Priest depicts what would happened in a given year.
This include the oracular utterances of the priest in regards on what to expect during the harvest season: Whether there will be "Ugani" (famine), Nsogbu (problem), Agha (war), Onwu (death) etc. it was a sort of annual prophecy or prediction on what would happen in the coming season. If the prophecy turns out to have positive effect, the people tend to work tiredlessly hard so as to reap the fruit of hard labour. But on contrary, they tend to be cautious during the planting season starting with the first moon of the new season.
6. Ekpe Festival
Ekpe festival is a masquerade festival celebrate mainly by the igbos of abia sate, river state and nkanu people of enugu state. unlike the mmanwu festival which is the gathering of tens and thousands of different masquerades, this masquerade festival particularly celebrates the Ekpe masquerades. Ekpe festival is a lively cultural festival that attracts people from in and outside the state.
Here, male and female (old and young) dress in their cultural attire, the male must tie a piece of George (wrapper) to make up for the cultural attire.
7. Inne Festival
This festival which is more popular among the Igbos of delta state is celebrate in most western igbo communities. In Asaba, the capital city of Delta State which is one of the communities that celebrates the festival, It is a 5-day event holding in the five villages of Asaba. It is a celebration of war and of peace, and it features war dances, military-like parades, reenactment of old battles, and other related events that spice up the annual event. although with different name, the festival is also celebrated among the eastern Igbo especially in Abia state.
Odo is a term used to describe the returning of the dead who spend up to six months with the living during the festival. the odo festival is celebrated among the northern Igbos of enugu state especially among the nsukka and the udi people. The odo appear as male and female masked figures played by men who are members of the death cult society, and whose identity it is required to keep secret. The Odo are first welcomed back with celebrations, and then make visits to their former homes, which result in more entertainment and gift giving. Their departure is a sad one, and engages the community in an emotional leave taking event before the Odo`s journey back.
10. Ede Festival

UK100, H4 & Daily
Global stock market stabilisation continues, after the sell off seen on Tuesday following North Korea's test missile that crossed over Japan and as tropical storm Harvey continues to cause havoc in the U.S. European stock markets recovered some of yesterday's losses as global risk aversion receded, but are already down from earlier highs and while the GER30 remains up 0.48% on the day it is struggling to hold the 12000 mark, while the UK100 is up 0.32%. Eurozone markets failed to get a lift from strong ESI economic confidence numbers, which together with the uptick in German state and Spanish inflation numbers reviving tapering concerns.
A stronger Pound meanwhile was limiting upside room for the UK100, since cable broke down the 1.2900 level today, once the strong US data released earlier, with ADP Employment Change and Preliminary GDP beating expectations. However Cable has rebounded back above 1.2900 after diving to a 1.2878 low, with the recovery apparently fuelled by dollar selling sparked by Trump's latest "talking is not the answer!" tweet on North Korea.
Despite Sterling's performance, UK100 seems to hold a strong weekly support at 7280-7290.00 area. The UK100 did not manage to break down this support area during yesterday's big drop, but instead it recovered some of its recent losses .Therefore, yesterday's Daily Hammer candlestick along with Tweezer Bottom formation noticed today in a shorter time-frame such as 4-hour chart, triggered our LONG position at 7374.5 near term Target 1 at 7406.00, which is a confluence of 23.6 Fibonacci level, 20 Day MA and 50 Day MA. The Target 2 was set below the recent highs at 7435.00. The stop loss sits slightly below the 61.8 Fibonacci level at 7345.00.
U.S. stock futures are also up, but as tropical storm Harvey continues to cause havoc, and North Korea tensions are unlikely to fully go away for a while, geopolitical risks will continue to hang over markets.

More About Cold Betrayal by J. a. Jance
From the New York Times bestselling author hailed for her "inimitable, take-no-prisoners style" (Kirkus Reviews), Cold Betrayal forces Ali Reynolds to confront the face of evil, and the women who are being hunted. Revenge isn't the only dish served cold... Ali's longtime friend and Taser-carrying nun, Sister Anselm, rushes to the bedside of a young pregnant woman hospitalized for severe injuries after she was hit by a car on a deserted Arizona highway. The girl had been running away from The Family, a polygamous cult with no patience for those who try to leave its ranks. Something about her strikes a chord in Sister Anselm, reminding her of a case she worked years before when another young girl wasn't so lucky. Meanwhile, married life agrees with Ali. But any hopes that she and her husband, B. Simpson, will finally slow down and relax now that they've tied the knot are dashed when Ali's new daughter-in-law approaches her, desperate for help. The girl's grandmother, Betsy, is in danger: she's been receiving anonymous threats, and someone even broke into her home and turned on the gas burners in the middle of the night. But the local police think the elderly woman's just not as sharp as she used to be. While Ali struggles to find a way to protect Betsy before it's too late, Sister Anselm needs her help as well, and the two race the clock to uncover the secrets that The Family has hidden for so long--before someone comes back to bury them forever.

Every time I get a new haircut, I always feel excited and expectant. Every time the stylist's scissors cuts inch by inch of my hair, I can already imagine how I would look like. Girls are so fond of styling their hair- of course- because The Almighty made it to be their crowning glory. Although we prefer many hairstyles, we have to take into consideration how they would match to the total look we want.
Today I'll show you the past Short Hairstyles I've sported as an Oval-faced shape girl. Enjoy!
A. The Pixie
I first wore this hairstyle way back when I was in third year college. The impulse just came over me one day and I decided to chop off my long mane for something new. My friends were shocked and amazed at my bravery to cut off my then long hair, and all the more happy with the result. They said it suited me perfectly! Any girl would want to try really really short hair some time in her life. I mean, who doesn't, right? But you have to be careful when deciding on cutting your long mane that you've been growing out for so long. If you don't want to regret the outcome, research on the hairstyle you want to have. Assess the shape of your face and google up styles that would go with it. 🙂
B. The Awkward Bob
The Awkward Bob is one of the hardest short hairstyles any girl can come across with. It's that phase when your hair is slowly growing out from the super short pixie cut to a longer, fuller, and softer look. When I entered this stage, I always brushed my hair with a roller brush because it really helps in keeping my short fringes in place. I also use Vitress to smoothen out the baby hairs.
C. The Long Bob
Aah. Finally passed the awkard Bob stage. This is the current length of my hair now. I can finally tie it, braid it, and even make a donut bun out of it! When you've come to this stage in your Short Hairstyle journey, the only enemy you have are your bangs because seriously they just keep on covering half of your face. I continue to use Roller Brush for this length because it tucks my locks in neatly.
I'm planning to go back to my usual long mane this time.
And it's totally taking me Forever! But I have to be patient and resist the urge to cut my hair again. No matter what look you choose though, always remember that you are beautiful inside out. Rock that edgy pixie. Keep your head high in that awkward bob! Confidence starts from within, and that's something only you yourself can carry- even without the trendy hairstyle.
So werk it girl! 🙂

Mesa Rim, Reno's largest climbing center, has opened their state-of-the-art training facility to the region
August 10, 2017
Get ready climbers out there, Mesa Rim is finally here in all of its 24,000-square-foot glory.
"This is my fourth or fifth time here since Saturday," said Tyler Simmons, a new member of the brand-spankin'-new training facility.
"Other gyms around here are subpar, modern gyms like this have tall walls and yoga and it seems like the others we have around here haven't been updated in forever. I'm a rope climber, so this is really exciting," he said.
Stationed on Harvard Way in Reno, Nev., is the enormous, sleek and modern fitness facility that takes climbing to the next level with its specialized instruction, high-tech equipment, and massive array of climbing routes and bouldering walls.
Around 80 routes are staged for climbs reaching 35 to 52 feet above the ground, and feature four crack systems and opportunities for top-rope and lead climbing all with a partner.
Mesa Rim has a staff full of knowledgeable, experienced climbers, who teach private and group lessons for children and adults, even catering to timid first-timers by offering their first ascents from "the donut," an enclosed area of the gym with walls surrounding you with mellow, introductory routes.

"We definitely want to make climbing accessible and non-intimidating for new climbers. This area we call 'the donut.' And it's more private so people don't have to be on display on the big wall for their first times out," said manager and co-founder Marlowe Kulley.
"We also have some really challenging climbs for more experienced climbers. The thought process behind the facility is to be able to train and welcome a family of four, for example, to learn and understand the sport; while having other people who compete on the world stage, and still having fun right next to each other."
Kulley and her husband co-founded the climbing center after living what she describes as their "climbing bum life" where the pair traveled around in a sprinter van, chasing their rock climbing passion.
The two excitedly opened Mesa Rim's doors on Saturday, Aug. 5, to about 1,000 new climbers and said they're excited to offer a new gym to locals and visitors of the area, whatever their climbing preference may be.
"You get people who are really into the cracks, people who are really into bouldering, some who hate bouldering and are really into rope climbing and others who like to climb, but never, or rarely ever, do they climb outside — we offer everything you could need for whatever your climbing preference is," Kulley said.
The gym offers athletes around the region a fun or competitive training space in which to get comfortable.
Three experts are on staff as route setters, who rotate the climbing lines every eight weeks, using their expertise and appreciation for the sport's technicality to decide exactly which hand or toe hold piece shape fits where, and at what angle on the walls.
Guests can practice indoors, where they can consult experts and get their bearings before heading out into nature to test their skill on the real granite.
"There's no weathering, no freezing with an indoor climbing gym, you don't get chunks breaking off like you do in nature, so it allows people to get comfortable," Kulley said.
The gym features a sign-up sheet to match climbers with new partners in order to connect with new friends.
"This isn't a 'put headphones in and tune everyone out' space, we really want to foster a sense of community," Kulley said.
In the spirit of communal, healthy living, the gym also features a comfortable lounge space upstairs beside the private, enclosed yoga studio and cardio workout stations that overlook the climbing walls below. Downstairs are walls and walls of rock of varying difficulty level, notating difficulty with the Yosemite number grading system on cards displayed below.
Beside the rope-climbing walls is a large bouldering section where guests can practice solo.
Around the corner is a weight-training center ideal for warm-ups or circuits.
The men's and women's locker rooms are designed to bring absolute comfort and convenience to athletes, allowing guests to stop in for a quick one-hour climb during lunch, shower, freshen up, and head back into the office.
Another perk for members is the co-ed sauna for soothing sore muscles, as well as an outdoor balcony on the second level, perfect for sunbathing and lounging.
Mesa Rim's late hours also make fitness more accessible to folks in the region who like to get a workout in, after-work hours. Mesa Rim is open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on weekdays and 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekends.
Yoga programming in the facility has drawn climbers to yoga and yogis to climbing, as the two are similar both physically and mentally.
"There's crossover between yoga and climbing, they have strong parallels in the mind-body aspect," Kulley said.
"Both make you physically stronger and you need the mental game for climbing something really tough. In yoga it's all about whether you can be present on the mat, breathe in a tough posture, it's the same for climbing. The flexibility, strength, balance, posture, and all of the benefits from yoga and climbing are similar," she added.
The facility promotes an all-around healthy lifestyle, focusing on rock climbing while also incorporating strength and technique training, and supporting mental and physical stamina through yoga.
Youth drop-in programming is available as well as competitive team climbing for children and adults in the area who take climbing very seriously.

Time and energy went into the razzle-dazzle Broadway performances at the Ormond Beach Performing Arts Center.
Director Emma Adams explored performing the show of megahits from Broadway five years ago, and "A Taste of Broadway" premiered last year in a bevy of show stoppers in musically crafted plots.
A recent stroll down Broadway welcomed the community to two performances in a backdrop of shimmering lights, superb cast and crew, vocals and choreography.
It brought an appreciation of theater since many in the cast are children and teens.
Adams writes in the playbill, "Tony Felton, thank you for allowing Just 4 U Productions, Inc. to produce a second season of 'A Taste of Broadway.'"
Teaching tool
Just 4 U Productions utilizes live stage productions and other theater arts as a primary teaching tool for adolescents to develop the necessary social proficiencies to meet today's unprecedented challenges.
The proceeds from donations and tickets support theatrical workshops and scholarships.
Anthony C. "Tony" Felton is the president of Just 4 U Productions, Inc. Adrienne Hassell Felton is Just 4 U Productions' executive secretary, and is filling the role of assistant director of "A Taste of Broadway."
The show was continuity of lyrics such as: "The joint is jumpin'/It's really jumpin'/Come in, cats, and check your hats/I mean this joint is jumpin.'"
The vocal opened the show from Fats Waller's "Ain't Misbehavin'' and featured Dr. Irving W. Robinson in the lead with the adult cast.
"Hairspray" brought its rendition of "Run and Tell That!,'' featuring Melissa Arnold impersonating a guy and backed up with Dejanae Agledor, Eric Moore Jr., Janysa Rodriguez, Maya Felton, Nia Felton, Oslyn Bryant, Samira Taite-Headspeth, Shaunte' White, Sophia Matta, Tyler Lawrence and Xavier Taylor-Simmons.
More performances
The "March of the Siamese Children" from "The King & I" was compelling and starred LaToya Taite-Headspeth and Sterling Headspeth. Their performance included the youth cast: Adrianna Boggs, Alahni Cooper, Aminah Taite-Headspeth, Bryce Wilson, Carter Wilson, Dejanae Agledor, Diage Betts, Kennedie Cooper, Marlee Matta, Sheldon Headley, Tyler Bohnenkamper and Zavion Betts, and the adult cast collaborating with Donna Decina, Emma Adams, and Karen Coke.
Also worth mentioning was the mystique of the "Phantom of the Opera" and its prelude of the same name, and featuring Anthony C. "Tony" Felton, Peter Trubek and TaShaye Brown.
Some other compositions making their way were: "Stompin at the Savoy," "Take the A Train," and "It Don't Mean A Thing" from "Bubblin' Brown Sugar," and "I'm Flying" from "Peter Pan."
AACS to host Juneteenth event
This year's Juneteenth at the African American Cultural Society (AACS) will rock the stage and educate through entertainment.
A cast composed of Just 4 U Productions will perform the theatrical episode "What Does It Mean To Be Free?" The Supremacy Dancers will present a 1920s medley, Mt. Calvary Baptist Church and its liturgical dancers will interpret "God Speaks," and Margery M. Alexis will perform in song and inspire the soul.
Cultural Committee Chair Brenda Andrews announced that a marketplace will be provided for vendors.
Juneteenth is the only nationwide holiday celebrating the end of slavery in the United States. All are welcome to this free, cultural event, partially funded by the City of Palm Coast.
That's June 17, from noon to 4 p.m.
Parents are encouraged to bring their children for an educational, entertaining experience.
Freewill donations to defray expenses will graciously be accepted at Juneteenth and online at aacspc.eventbrite.com.
The African American Cultural Society, at 4422 North U.S. 1, Palm Coast, can be reached at 386-447-7030.
Brunch will honor Renny Roker, others
Author Orjanette Bryant will host the "Legacy Brunch.'' The proceeds will support Just 4 U Productions.
The brunch will honor those making a difference in the lives of others.
Actor Renny Roker is this year's nominee. He was the first African-American in the No. 1 sitcom, "Gomer Pyle USMC."
Others who will take part are authors Melanie Bonita, Dr. Evelyn Bethune and Essence magazine's Dr. Gwendolyn Grant.
The brunch is May 27, 11 a.m., at the Wyndham Ocean Walk Resort in Daytona Beach.
The $35 ticket can be secured from Bryant at 386-227-7303.
Rev. Blow to deliver 'Fresh Start' message
Pastor Gillard S. Glover announced that the message "Fresh Start" will be preached by the Rev. Dr. David L. Blow Sr. While everyone has been invited, the targeted population is 40 years and younger to deal with the upcoming Pentecost season.
The service has been set for 4 p.m. June 4 at First Church, 91 Old Kings Road North, Palm Coast.
A godly man, Rev. Blow has studied to show himself approved.
He earned a Bachelor of Science degree in telecommunications from Morgan State University, a Master of Divinity and a Doctorate of Ministry from Howard University.
Rev. Blow has also partnered with a team of Flagler County churches to present one of the largest praise and worship youth gatherings to ever hit Matanzas High School, let alone the county.
He is part of the adjunct faculty of the School of Religion at Bethune-Cookman University.
For further details, contact First Church at 386-446-5759.
As always, remember our prayers for the sick, afflicted, the prodigal son, or daughter, and the bereaved.
Birthday wishes to Lenny Rowe, Dr. Lawrence Gary, May 26; and Audrey M. Thorpe, May 27.

To wit (and apologies for the redactions but you know, "'er upstairs an' all"):
This is a very select, confidential email – not for distribution please – to "a small list of a few intimate friends, a few hundred or so" due to the imploring of one of you "to put together a mailing list and regular memo to supporters regarding your impending run at dictatorship." (Nb: in this case I am defining supporters as the small number of people who I think may, but may very well not, be interested. If you want off the list, let me know and it's done).
I've done a small list and it is unlikely to grow and there is every chance said run at dictatorship might sink faster than the Vasa in 1628 (wiki it), or it might come off in a small and modest way.
Who knows?
I'm trying to get pre-selected for the electorate of Brindabella (basically the Tuggeranong valley) in Southern Canberra.
There are currently 6 candidates vying for 5 spots on the ALP voting ticket for the electorate so my speculative grenade means a vote is necessary. Which is fine, as is a democratic vote but residual irritation may explain why it felt (though I am fresh at this so I may be wrong) harder then it should have been to get signatures on my nomination form – that and the fact that there are not many declared independent, eligible Labor members in Tuggeranong.

I am currently away undergoing a brain surgery for Chiari Malformation. In the meantime, some of my sweet and talented friends in the blogging community have volunteered to write posts just for you! I am so humbled and so excited. Here is a post from Ruth Hill of My Devotional Thoughts. She knows that one of my favorite books of the Bible is Ruth, which was the perfect subject for her to write on.
For as long as I can remember, I have always been drawn to a woman in the Bible. And it honestly has nothing to do with the fact that I share her name. I have just found that her story is inspiring, and I guess the fact that it has a happy ending certainly helps me, too.
|By Simeon Solomon (Birmingham Museums and Art Gallery) [Public domain], via Wikimedia Commons
Naomi and Elkanah were good Jews, but they left their country during the time of the famine. They headed over to Moab, and Elkanah was able to provide for his family. This was a pagan country, but their two sons decided to marry women from there anyway--Orpah and Ruth. (Yes, Orpah was the inspiration for the name Oprah). Unfortunately, poor Naomi had bad luck. Her husband and two sons died. All she had left were her two daughters-in-law. She told them to go back to their land as she prepared to return to Israel, but Ruth refused. She, a foreigner, went with her mother-in-law back to the land of Israel.
When they arrived back in Israel, Naomi was in a pretty bad mood, and it was a good thing that Ruth was there. They were poor women, and Ruth began to glean in the fields. That meant that she got to pick up the grain that was dropped by the reapers. It's a good thing she picked the right field. It was owned by Boaz, and he noticed her. I kind of think he was smitten with her from the beginning. He actually told his men not only to leave her alone but to make sure to drop extra for her. He approached her and entreated her to go to no one else's fields.
When Naomi heard about it, she instantly devised a plan. She knew that Boaz was a relation, and Ruth would be able to marry him. While Boaz wanted to marry her, he was an honest man. He said there was actually one that was a closer relation than he, and that man had to be offered the chance first. You see, along with Ruth, there was land that would be acquired as well.
They approached this nearer relative, and he wanted the land, but he didn't want Ruth. Good thing that it was a package deal. Boaz married Ruth, and it wasn't long before they had a son named Obed. Through their line came King David and eventually Jesus Christ.
This story always brings a smile to my face. While it only takes up four chapters in the Bible, the story is one that captures my imagination. I probably figured I would find my "Boaz" one day. I thought I did once, but I was severely misguided.
So why would I pick this woman as my role model? It would be very easy to say that it is just that we share a name, but it is so much more than that. One of the things that always impressed me about Ruth was that she chose to walk away from her people and follow a God she did not grow up knowing. She forsook everything she had known, and she went with Naomi. The speech that she gives to Naomi is a well-known one (I even used it in my own wedding ceremony). "Your people will be my people, and your God, my God. May the Lord deal with me, be it ever so severely, if anything but death separates you and me." I don't know if I would have had the courage to do what Ruth did. And the blessings she received are unbelievable. Who would imagine that the line of King David and Christ would have a few non-Jews included in it? She is one of four women named in the line of Christ in the book of Matthew.
What I admire in Ruth is her courage and her devotion to her mother-in-law (and I'm sure to her God). She was quiet, obedient, and meek. She captured the heart of Boaz like no other woman in Israel had. Yes, she was different, but she was willing to do the right thing. She respected her mother-in-law, and she did not draw attention to herself.
It crosses my mind that there had to be gossip about her. At least, in the beginning. After all, everyone would have known that she was not a Jew and that she had married one of Naomi's sons. They would have known that she had worshipped other gods. And I'm sure that out of earshot, Boaz's men probably had things they either said or at least thought. They knew he favored her. I find it interesting what the Bible does not tell us.
I seriously doubt that I will ever find my Boaz, but at least I can strive to follow her example. Obedience is one of the hardest things sometimes. I generally am humble and quiet (people complain that I am too quiet, but they don't know me). I can hope and pray that God will continue to use me in this life to be a blessing to others. I may be an outcast in many circles (family included, but that is another story), but I know that if I am obedient to God, He will use me for His glory. Maybe I won't be remembered like Ruth of old is, but I doubt she had any idea that her name would be remembered by history.
Ruth Hill is a blogger, single parent, and substitute teacher from the Pacific Northwest. She has an energetic tomboy daughter, and she lives with her parents. She loves music, reading, and surfing the web. Please show her some love on behalf of Pinterest Fanatic and give her a visit at My Devotional Thoughts...
