Kiambu county Governor Ferdinand Waititu can breathe a sigh of relief after the auditor general's office concluded that the county allocations for 2017/2018 budget were erroneous.
The conclusion was reached at after the Council of Governors (CoG), controller of budget and officials from the auditor general met on Tuesday, May 7.

A report by Capital FM showed Kiambu county and several others did not budget, receive or spend monies indicated in audit reports that were questioned by a senate committee.
The CoG Chairman Wycliffe Oparanya appeared to blame the Integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS) for the erroneous representation of county audits.
He said a review of what counties presented to the budget controller is entirely different from what has been generated on the system.

"The council observes that no money was spent on the said national government highlighted budget lines. This is because budgets appropriated at the county levels are we defined and do not have conflicting programme codes with the national government programmes," he said.
"This therefore confirms the reason for which the budgets were approved by the controller of budget at the beginning of the financial year for the purpose of withdrawal of county funds from the County Revenue Funds Accounts," Oparanya added.
The meeting observed that the counties in question did not have the budget items which included State House functions, South Sudan peace process and retired presidents.

The auditor general's report also exposed Kakamega, Kitui, Nyeri and Kirinyaga counties for reportedly spending hundreds of millions of shillings on national government functions.
"The Kiambu county and the other counties did not budget, receive or spend the monies as indicated in the financial report," a statement issued after the meeting indicated.
This was after Waititu was put on the spot by the Senate County Public Accounts and Investments Committee (CPAIC) over the KSh 2.1 billion audit queries.

The three bodies then resolved to form a multi-stakeholder technical committee which will conduct an investigation and submit a report in 14 days.
During this period, the council requested the Senate to suspend appearances by governors summoned to respond to audit queries regarding the financial year 2017/18.
Committee chairperson Senator Moses Kajwang' made the ruling after Waititu said he was not aware of such accounts and promised that investigation would be done.

Frank Geels selected as Lead Author by the IPCC for its 6th Assessment Report
The SCI's Professor Frank Geels has been selected as a Lead Author of the Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC*).
Contributions from three working groups will be published in 2021, followed by the Synthesis Report in 2022. Working Group I assesses the physical science basis of climate change; Working Group II is responsible for impacts, adaptation and vulnerability; and Working Group III assesses the mitigation of climate change
Professor Geels will be part of Working Group III and will be lead author for Chapter 5 on 'Demand, services and social aspects of mitigation'.
From 2858 nominations, the IPCC has invited 721 experts to contribute to AR6. In the original press release, IPCC Chair Hoesung Lee commented that: "These author teams, drawn from the hundreds of excellent nominations the IPCC was fortunate to receive, provide us with the necessary expertise across a range of disciplines to conduct the assessment"
Lead authors for the working groups were nominated by government representatives, heads of international organisations and members of the IPCC Bureau and selected by the bureaus of the three IPCC working groups.
Professor Geels commented:
'I am delighted to work with a group of world-leading scholars on assessing climate mitigation research with regard to demand, social acceptance of solutions, sectors/systems, capacity for change, feasible rates of change, actors and their relationships.'
*The IPCC is the United Nations body for assessing the science related to climate change. It provides policy makers with regular scientific assessments concerning climate change, its implications and risks as well as to put forwards adaptation and mitigation strategies.

To get rid of the mice, God Almighty put the grass in the spongy places scattered or in places inhabited by mice and fled from the smell because they hate.
The mice ran away from the smell of the exhaust and it suffocated them.
The mice are also exterminated using the traps in which the bait is placed, and care must be taken to touch them a lot because mice smell the human smell quickly and refrain from entering.
Natural strategies to get rid of flies:
- Use a natural repellent:
Such as lavender, marjoram, walnut leaves, or larynx fly sticky but without pesticides.
Natural strategies for mosquito control:
- Dispose of all containers containing water (buckets and utensils used in watering ..).
If you have a pond in your garden, throw out some predatory fish, in addition to having frogs and dragonflies (bees) also helps to reduce the number of mosquitoes.
- Closure of doors and windows or using nets for traffic places, as well as networks above the family.
At night, do not light bulbs without closing doors and windows, or set up a private network.
Natural strategies against wasps (wasps):
1 - Fulfill the house and the garden in search of gaps in the nests.
2 - Do not bite the wasps because they produce a chemical reaction can raise and attract their peers.
3. Remove any food and sugary drinks.
4. Also make sure to close the garbage cans securely and remove the leftovers from the barbecue.
Genius ways to get rid of cockroaches:
1 - the presence of cockroaches in your home:
Cockroaches are medium-sized insects, despite their large size in some parts of the world. They are characterized by their long legs and long horns. If you see one, you know that what is hidden is greater.
The problem with housewives is the ability of cockroaches to hide during the day, so you need to look for them using a nighttime detector lamp. You should also look for them in cabinets and cabinets and you will know about their presence through the effects they leave on their browns and stains.
2 - Try to determine where to come from:
If you see a cockroach try to trace its impact until you know its source and location, and examine all the holes inside and outside your home, and know that cockroaches often come from sinks and outlets where you can not close them.

In our application an "order" (subscription to an event) can be (partly) modified after it has been paid for. For this reason orders aren't removed from the visual indication during or after payment.
The normal behaviour is that once you click the "pay" button, certain fields become "locked" while others can still be modified. Also the user is forwarded to the payment provider and expected to fill in the details there. (Payment provider will return back to the overview page the user left).
When the payment provider reports the payment as "paid" this status prevails (and the order is considered paid). The pay button is then displayed with a "check mark".
If the provider reports the payment as "canceled" or "expired" the locked status will be removed, and the pay button will be displayed once more.
This leaves one particular point though: what if the user leaves the payment provider's page (close button), and returns manually to the overview page. In this case the order "pay" button is replaced with a spinner. However the order payment status is "open" - ie a payment is underway. And the payment provider will not provide an "expired" until the payment link has expired, which is multiple weeks.
From a user experience point of view what should I display while the payment is underway and the user reopens their orders? I could make the spinner into a button that reopens the link, but a user wouldn't ever expect to click a spinner would he?

nove tendencije
the artist as curator
on many occasions i have witnessed how my father curated his own exhibitions and for/with his students in the 80s. i was always impressed by the speed and the rationale and precision of his decisions what to show in an exhibition, how to hang the works and successfully anticipate and plan the experience for the future visitors.
even more importantly almir was a connector between artists and assumed the role of searching/finding the new art of his time and introducing artists to each other but also to collectors, gallerists and institutions.
we start this chapter looking at the early sixties, when mavignier organised and curated the nove tendencije exhibition in zagreb. for that I am going to quote from an essay written by serge lemoine which he wrote after a series of indepth interviews and exchanges with almir mavignier.
Essay by Serge Lemoine from:
The Artist as Curator
Collaborative initiatives in the international Zero Movement 1957-1967
von Tiziana Caianiello (Herausgeber), Mattijs Visser (Herausgeber), Dirk Porschmann (Redakteur)
almir mavignier
Serge Lemoine
International, and yet geared to a narrow audience, the result of chance and yet heralded by several precursory events, the first Nove Tendencije (New Tendencies) exhibition - which took place at the Galerija Suvremene Umjetnosti (Contemporary Art Gallery) in Zagreb in 1961 - was organized by Almir Mavignier, a Brazilian artist and former student of the Hochschule für Gestaltung Ulm (Ulm School of Design), who began his career in Germany during the 1950s.
Nove Tendencije assembled - for the first time - the works of young European artists from diverse backgrounds who had for the most part never met and had been brought together in something that did not constitute any sort of group or collective studio. Yet they shared, as Almir Mavignier understood and demonstrated, a number of similarities in their approach to making art, its conception and guiding principles, as well as its relation to society. Capturing a certain Zeitgeist deeply felt by Mavignier, the Nove Tendencije exhibition aroused great interest within what was still a small circle. Its second manifestation - Nove Tendencije 2, organized in Zagreb in 1963 - marked it as a movement, radicalising New Tendencies and renaming it Nouvelle Tendance - recherche continuelle (New Tendency-continuous research). The artists in the movement gained importance outside Yugoslavia, exhibiting in Paris, Venice and Leverkusen, evolving toward greater use of technology and political activism, and exercising self-criticism in discussion forums. The last exhibition of the series, Tendencije 5, took place in Zagreb in 1973.
The emergence of New Tendencies in Zagreb in 1961, and the events organized in 1963 and in subsequent years, coincided with the development of lumino-kinetic art in Europe, the Arte programmata exhibition held in Mitan in 1962, the activities of ZERO, and finally with The Responsive Eye, the Museum of Modern Art exhibition in New York that was organized by William C. Seitz. The upheaval that culminated in the second half of the 1960s1 gave way to a gradual decline, which led to the disappearance of all the parties in the decade that followed, at the very time that minimal art, conceptual art and Arte Povera were coming to the fore.2
The Nove Tendencije exhibition came into being by chance, but it stemmed from Mavignier's curiosity, thirst for knowledge, and his ability to draw connections. Born in Rio de Janeiro in 1925, Almir Mavignier began his studies in 1945 at the Brazilian Association of Drawing and frequented the studios of Árpád Szenes, Axel Leskoschek, and Henrique Boese - three European artists who had settied in Brazil. Mavignier's painting was figurative and sensitive and bore the influence of Pierre Bonnard and Edouard Vuillard. He soon founded a therapeutic painting and modeling workshop at the Engenho de Dentro Psychiatric Hospital, where he worked alongside physicians.
He quickly turned to abstract art, and together with Ivan Serpa, Abraham Palatnik, and art critic Mário Pedrosa, he established the first Concrete art group in Rio de Janeiro. However, in the early 1950s, Mavignier decided to leave the country in order to complete his art training. With a scholarship from the French government and support from the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he went to Paris in 1951, choosing the French capital over New York because, as he said, "that's where the Mona Lisa is." France was also home to Frangois Morellet, whom he had met in Brazil the previous year when the French artist - fearing a third world war in the wake of the Berlin Blockade and the outbreak of the Korean War - had considered settling there with his family.
Mavignier lost no time establishing numerous contacts in Paris, among them young French and foreign artists who were living in the capital at the time, such as Ellsworth Kelly, and those who were long-time residents, including Georges Vantongerloo. He also regularly visited the Morellet household in Clisson. Throughout 1952, he traveled up and down Italy on his scooter, visiting all the major art centers from Venice to Sicily. Over the course of his trip, he met Giorgio Morandi and also went to Zurich and Bern. He was introduced to Max Bill - who was busy with his plan of opening a school in Ulm modeled after the Bauhaus - as well as Richard-Paul Lohse, Camille Graeser, and Verena Loewensberg. In 1953, he visited the Lascaux cave, and traveled through Spain and Portugal, as well as Germany, where he discovered Munich, Stuttgart and Ulm. He came into contact with Karl Gerstner and Paul Talman in Basel, Marcel Wyss in Bern, and Andreas Christen in Zurich.
In the autumn of that same year, Mavignier was accepted into the Visual Communication Program at the Hochschule für Gestaltung Ulm, where he studied under Max Bill, Josef Albers, Johannes Itten, Walter Peterhans, Otl Aicher, and Max Bense. He began exhibiting his first Concrete paintings at the Salon des Nouvelles in Paris (1953) and at the Galerie 33 in Bern (1955). Mavignier returned to Italy before traveling to the south of Central Europe, to Greece in 1955, and then to Istanbul. In 1958, he graduated from the Hochschule für Gestaltung Ulm. He showed his first "dot" paintings at the Municipal Museum in Ulm (1957) and at Studio F (1959) in the same town.3 Heinz Mack and Otto Piene invited Mavignier to participate in the seventh in the series of Abendausstellungen, or "evening exhibitions", Das rote Bild, (The red picture), which took place in Düsseldorf in 1958. Atthe same time, he began working as a graphic designer, producing posters that breathed new life into the constructivist tradition of poster art. The following year proved to be a watershed in his development: it was in 1959 that he participated in the premonitorily titled exhibition Stringenz: Nuove Tendenze Tedesche (Stringency: new German tendencies) at the Galleria Pagani del Grattaciel in Milan, along with seven German artists.4 It was here that he met Enrico Castellani, Piero Manzoni and Antonio Calderara - who was to become a close friend - as well as the future members of Gruppo N in Padua.5 He was introduced to Herbert Oehm, Gerhard von Graevenitz, Rudolf Kämmer, Gotthard Müller, Uli Pohl, and Walter Zehringer, adding to his network of contacts in Munich.
Almir Mavignier's enthusiasm and curiosity, his taste for new discoveries, his interpersonal skills and his interest in the latest trends, together with his political activism, made him an uncommon personality in the art world. There was no stopping him: In 1960, he exhibited his works in Leverkusen,6 on several occasions at the Galleria Azimut in Milan, and in Zurich, Konkrete Kunst (Concrete art) exhibition, organized by Max Bill, a range of shows that demonstrate the extent of the recognition he was enjoying. In the fall, he visited the Venice Biennale, and on his way to Egypt, he passed through Yugoslavia, before boarding a Soviet ship in Piraeus bound for Alexandria. He stopped in Zagreb, and on the recommendation of a friend from Ulm who was an art collector, he contacted the Croatian artist Frano Simunovie, who wasted no time introducing him to Ivan Picelj, a young painter with constructivist leanings who was also an accomplished graphic designer, and Matko Meštrović, an art critic who was committed to political causes without being dogmatic.
Mavignier was immediately invited to take part in a debate on the Venice Biennale, where he shared his thoughts on the state of art at that time and revealed his interest in Piero Dorazio, the only painter in Venice who was, in his view, creating something new. What emerged from this discussion was the idea of an exhibition in Zagreb, which would feature proposals made by the young artists who had caught Mavignier's attention. Božo Bek, the director of the Galerija Suvremene Umjetnosti Zagreb, was quick to invite Mavignier, who was in Ulm at the time, to organize the exhibition that would be shown in his gallery the following year.
Numerous letters were exchanged between Matko Meštrović, Bek and Mavignier in order to establish the list of whom to invite, and the exhibition was on view from August 3 to September 14, 1961.
Mavignier had selected twenty-nine arlists,7 the majority of whom were Italian, German, Swiss, French, and Croatian. Some were already labeled kinetic, others espoused constructivist art, a few were aligned with Dada, and many were protagonists of the ZERO movement.8 Mavignier met and corresponded with all of them, as evidenced by his letter to Heinz Mack in December 1960,9 with the exception of Julio Le Parc, who had been recommended by Frangois Moreltet's wife, Danielle. All the artists accepted Bek's invitation; Piero Manzoni was the only one who expressed reservations - not wanting to appear in a context that did not correspond to his own approach - before ultimately accepting.
The eighty-three artworks10 exhibited in the rooms of the Kulmer Palace-where the museum had been housed on the ground floor since 1954 - shared many common characteristics: an absence of composition, the repetition of identical elements or units, the prominence of the line, an absence of limits, an open form, achromia, a basic structure, binary organization, and the use of new media and anonymous craftsmanship, or even industrial forms of production. A constant began to emerge as the artworks of Gruppo N were projected into the viewer's space. The works were shown in a suite of rooms occupying 2,691 square feet (820 square metres) in a vaulted gallery. The hanging was simple, uncluttered, and arranged in a single row, in order to highlight the works on the white walls. Some pieces sat on pedestals (Uli Pohl), others were presented horizontally (Paul Talman), and many were completely detached from the wall.
The exhibition was entitled Nove Tendencije in reference to the 1959 Milan exhibition featuring German art (Stringenz: Nuove Tendenze Tedesche), though Avant-garde 1961, Avant-garde, and Konkrete Kunst had also been considered as suitable titles. Ivan Picelj designed the poster as well as the exhibition catalog, which included essays by Matko Meštrović and art historian Radoslav Putar.
The originality of the concept, the visual innnvation of the mayority of the works, and the radical nature of their intention contributed to the immediate and undeniable success of Nove Tendencye. Yet it fell within the scope of exhibitions organized in 1960 by Enrico Castellani and Piero Manzoni at the Galleria Azimut in Milan, those organized by Heinz Mack and Otto Piene in Düsseldorf, and the Konkrete Kunst (Concrete art) exhibition shown by Max Bill in Zurich - also in 1960. Mavıgnier's judgement and his ability to interpret the spırit of the times enabled him to establish connections between the different exhibitions, to find commonalities between certain artists and bring them together in a way that highlighted these new tendencies. At a time when art was defined by an exacerbated sensitivity combined with unbridled expression, one witnessed the rejection of composition, the use of neutral, repetitive and interchangeable elements, an impersonal technique, and the will - which brought intelligence to the creation - to further involve the viewer by influencing his/her perception.
That the exhibition was held in Zagreb - that is to say in Yugoslavia, a communist country where the principles of "socialist realism" were supposed to be applied - might seem paradoxical, were it not for the freedom of artistic expression that prevailed at that time in the socalled "non-aligned" country. Yugoslavia was also home to the group EXAT 51.11 of which Ivan Picelj was a member, and Gorgona,12 a group that included Matko Meštrović and Radoslav Putar. As we have seen, this exhibition was a product of happenstance.13 Yet the events that followed would give ample argument to Mavignier's ideas. In 1963, a second Nove Tendencije exhibition was held in Zagreb, which confirmed those trends, yet also radicalized them aesthetically and ideologicaliy.14
Almir Mavignier no longer had a say in the matter.

Land Rover raises the standard for the Discovery 4 by offering new optional features for the 2013 model such as the Extended Leather Pack based on the HSE Luxury Limited Edition, and unique Black Design Packs, which have 19" or 20" all-black painted wheels and a series of black trim finishers and design details like gloss black grille and fender vents.
Discovery 4 is already world-famous as the ultimate all-purpose vehicle. In addition, customers can now choose from among five additional body colors as well as two new interior colours and trim improvements, giving customers more chances to customize their vehicle. Upgrades were given to the infotainment system to offer the latest generation DAB radio and a new digital TV tuner.
Meanwhile, the navigation system is now offered with premium features like Off-Road guidance and 4x4i. The Discovery 4 is still powered by the exceptional 256PS 3.0-litre LR-SDV6 and entry level 211PS 3.0-litre LR-TDV6 diesels with the ZF 8HP70 8-speed automatic transmission. These offer CO2 emissions of only 230g/km and 224g/km, respectively in EU5 markets.
Meanwhile, the 375PS 5.0-litre LR-V8 naturally aspirated petrol engine is equipped with the ultra-refined ZF 6HP28 6-speed automatic transmission. The Discovery 4 gets a stunning modern appearance with its distinct new Black Design Packs that sets off the car's metallic paint finishes.
It is offered with either 19" 7-Split Spoke or 20" 5-Spoke all-black painted wheels. The optional Black Design Packs consist of gloss black grille & fender vents; gloss black door handles & mirror caps; gloss black LAND ROVER & DISCOVERY 4 badging; and satin black extended roof rails.
The latest fourth generation Land Rover Discovery 4 features a more premium cabin, fresh exterior look as well as a powerful and very efficient TDV6 engine. Dynamic improvements have also been made for off-road and road driving alike and to its battery as well which features new user-friendly technology and elements.
Managing director Phil Popham said that this model's previous version may have gained over a hundred international awards for its name but they have been finding ways to virtually improve the vehicle's engineering and design in every aspect. Thus, the new design hints a change in comprehensive engineering and now provides an all-new Land Rover Discovery 4.
The main highlight to this new version is its newly developed and highly efficient LR-TDV6 3.0 twin turbo diesel engine which delivers a fuel economy improvement of nine percent in an EU combined cycle as less CO2 emissions by ten percent at the same stance as a 29% increasing power as compared to the existing 2.7-litre engine. Its torque, which is deemed to be the peak torque output of any 6-cylinder, production diesel, and passenger vehicle engine worldwide, increases by more than 36% to 600Nm.
Both the power and torque are accessible across the whole rev range so to provide immediate throttle response as well as effortless cruising ability. Its results consist of a 0-60mph time of 9.0 seconds, (0-100 km/h in 9.6 seconds) and 24 percent improvement all over the 2.7-litre.
Its engineers were also able to transform the on-road ride as well as the handling for this new version and improved as well the near-legendary and off-road capabilities of the previous version.

Ever wish you could have a seasonal bounty of fresh fruits and vegetables arriving at your door each week? You can! Sign up for a local CSA in your area and enjoy the freshest fare from your community farmers.
First, let's define CSA. CSA stands for community supported agriculture. What does that mean, you ask? Community supported agriculture is a program that allows consumers to purchase local, seasonal food straight from the farmer. A farmer will offer certain "shares," which typically consists of a box of fruits and vegetables or other farm products. Depending on what you sign up for, you may be lucky enough to receive fresh meats like beef and chicken, or products like local honey. You can purchase this "share" from the farmer and you'll receive your box of goodies each week throughout the farming season.
Learn more: These North Carolina CSAs Take Food From the Field to Your Front Door
Advantages of a CSA
You'll get fresh-from-the-farm produce when it's in season.
You'll have the opportunity to develop relationships with farmers who grow your food and learn more about farming.
You might get the chance to visit a farm.
CSAs are a great way to support your local agriculture in your community.
Different Types of CSAs
A standard CSA means the farmer will load your box and you will receive whatever is available that week.
A "market-style" CSA is a CSA in which the customers get to choose, to a degree, what goes in their box.
- CSA's aren't only for fruits and vegetables, but it all depends on the farm and the farmer. Some farms offer customers shares of eggs, homemade bread, meat, cheese, fruit, flowers or other farm products along with their produce.
Slight Risks of CSAs
With a CSA, the customer typically pays the "dues" upfront at the beginning of the season and the farmers do their best to supply. However, if there are challenges that affect the farmer's crop yields, such as unfavorable weather conditions, the customers are not typically reimbursed. You never know what Mother Nature will throw your way each year!
Not sure what to do with your CSA bounty? Here are some great recipes featuring fresh, seasonal produce:
Fresh Tomato Soup
Fresh Peach Ice Cream
Ricotta Tomato Salad
Fresh Strawberry Muffins
Squash Croquettes

WASHINGTON—Sales of new homes in the U.S. increased for the second month in a row in February, a positive sign after a weak stretch for the housing market.
Purchases of newly built single-family homes—a relatively narrow slice of all U.S. home sales—rose 4.9% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 667,000 in February, the Commerce Department said Friday. This is the highest level since last March. Economists surveyed by The Wall Street Journal had expected a 2.1% rise.
Sales were up 0.6% in February from the prior year. The pace of new-home sales remains well below the elevated levels seen before the 2007-09 financial crisis and recession.
New-home sales rose in all regions in the U.S. but the West, where sales were flat. Sales of new homes in the South hit the highest level in more than a decade. Despite the recent uptick in sales, the months' supply of new homes for sale on the market was 6.1, up from 5.4 last February.
In the broader housing market, inventory has been tight, driving a run-up in home prices and keeping some potential buyers off the market. Meantime, construction-labor shortages and rising input costs are pushing up the overall cost of buying both new and used homes.
Falling mortgage rates and a recent deceleration in home-price growth are two bright spots for the market, which could have helped drive a large jump in sales of previously owned home in February.
A gauge of U.S. home-builder confidence stabilized in March after increasing two months in a row, according to the National Association of Home Builders's Housing Market Index. This survey showed sentiment falling throughout 2018.

Virtualization is the technology used to create multiple simulated environments on a single physical system. Each environment is separated from one another and could fully utilize the resources dedicated to it. A virtual machine is an operating system that runs on top of a host operating system.
The physical host operating system, equipped with a hypervisor, control resources allocated to the virtual environment, which is called the guest system. The applications running in the virtual operating system are not aware that they are running on top of a virtualized machine. They instead behave exactly the same way they would on a physical system.
For the average user, virtualization enables them to be able to run applications that are built for an OS different from the physical OS they have. Users don't have to worry about rebooting or switching to another computer in order to install an application. Some common applications used to create virtualized environments are VirtualBox, Docker, and VMWare.
From a network administrator's point of view, virtualization helps them segment a larger system into smaller parts, each fully isolated from one another. This helps them serve a large number of clients better and easily adapt their system to a client's specific needs. Virtualization also acts as a security feature that keeps running programs in their separate containers, preventing one from making changes to another.
Thanks to virtualization, users can enjoy competitive prices and more control over their server. You can deploy an OS of your choice in a matter of minutes, or replicate a working OS how many times you want, without the hassle of installation and configuration from the beginning. In case of disaster, virtualized servers could be recovered easily with a few simple steps.

'Straight Outta Compton' Surges to $60 Million Opening
Share This:
The hip-hop biopic "Straight Outta Compton" beat all expectations to debut with $60 million at the box office, according to Sunday estimates.
The film about the emergence of N.W.A. rap stars Ice Cube, Dr. Dre and Eazy-E became the biggest R-rated opener in August, topping "American Pie 2," and left "The Man from U.N.C.L.E." far behind in third place with $13.5 million.
"The movie tapped into something in our culture and that made it more of a must-see," Phil Contrino, vice president and chief analyst at BoxOffice.com, tells Variety. Weekend estimates of a $56.1 million opening were upgraded to $60 million by Monday.
The movie also benefited from good reviews, the viral success of the "Straight Outta …" meme, aggressive marketing, and the huge social media followings by the rap artists.

"Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation" kept rolling in second place with $17 million in its third week. "Fantastic Four" plummeted 69 percent in its second week to collect $8 million in fourth while "The Gift" showed some staying power with $6.5 million in the fifth slot.
"Ricki and the Flash" also lost only about a third of its audience in week two, coming in behind "Ant-Man," "Vacation" and "Minions" in ninth place. "Trainwreck" was 10th.

COLORADO, USA — Colorado's presidential primary is coming up March 3 — the state's first in 20 years.
The state's last presidential primary was held in 2000. In the last two decades, Colorado used the caucus system.
> More information about Colorado's former caucus system can be found here.
But voters in 2016 passed Proposition 107 and 108, reenacting state laws allowing for presidential primaries and doing away with the caucus in an effort to allow more Coloradans to participate in primary elections.
Now, unaffiliated voters can vote in the presidential primary via mail or in person directly for their chosen candidate.
So, what does the presidential primary mean for Colorado voters?
Here are 9 things to know about the Colorado presidential primary 2020.
RELATED: How well do the Iowa caucuses predict the presidential race?
RELATED: VERIFY: Fact-checking the 7th Democratic presidential debate
1) If you are registered as unaffiliated you can vote in the presidential primary.
If you are registered as unaffiliated, you can vote in the presidential primary.
Just like state primary elections, unaffiliated voters will receive ballots for both major parties. Electors can indicate a preference as an unaffiliated voter and only receive one party's ballot while remaining unaffiliated.
If an unaffiliated voter casts and return a ballot for more than one major political party, the ballots will be rejected and will not be counted.
2) Monday, Feb. 3 is the last day to change party affiliation.
Feb. 3 is the last day for voters who are affiliated with a political party to change or withdraw their affiliation if they wish to vote in a different party's primary election on March 3.
> Voters can do that online here.
3) The Colorado presidential primary will be held March 3, 2020.
The presidential primary will be held March 3, 2020.If you wish for your ballot to be counted, the county clerk must receive it by 7 p.m. If you are registered to vote, you should see your ballots come in soon after Feb. 3.
If you plan to mail in your ballot, send it by Feb. 25 to ensure your ballot will reach the county clerk.
If you feel like you don't have enough time to mail in your ballot, you should plan to vote in person.
> You can find where to vote or drop off your ballot here.
4) You must be a state resident of Colorado by Feb. 11.
You must be a resident of Colorado for 22 days to vote in the Colorado presidential primary.
> You can update your residency on you voter registration online here.
5) If you will be 18 on election day, you can vote in the primary.
If you are 17 at the time of the primary but will be 18 years old by Nov. 3, you can vote in the primary election.
6) You might be able to get time off to vote.
Colorado Election law Section 1-7-102 states that voters can get two hours to absent themselves from work without loss of pay if they do not have sufficient time to vote outside of regular working hours.
The employee must arrange the time to vote with their employer prior to election day.
7) You can look at a sample ballot.

If you're looking to make a memorable entrance to a party, you've just been one-upped.
Yes, you've been upstaged by BASE jumpers/jump junkies John Van Horne, Matt Frolich and Andy Lewis in a jump performed in Kuala Lumpur that, simply put, might be the best party entrance you've ever seen..
Those with a deathly fear of heights need not to read further. But for the dude with a brass set of cojones and a security pass to the top of KL Tower, and a conveniently located pool party several hundred meters below, this is the stuff urban legends are made of.
Thank God we live in the GoPro Age!
3 BASE Jumpers Leap From KL Tower
The jump took place October of last year, as part of the KL Tower International BASE Jump Event (guess they figured BASE jumpers were gonna devirginize the tower anyway and make a few bucks out of it). The pool party, on the roof of a 34 storey hotel, was part of the festivities. But know one knew save our fearless BASE jumpers that anyone would *ahem* make such a splash.
Now about that video. KL Tower is high – really high – so if you're not big on heights, you might want to cover your eyes until about 90 seconds in. I have to admit, I just about fainted when the first jumper high fives his buddies and jumped off the 1,099 foot tower.
For maximum nausea, or euphoria, depending on your perspective, maximize the screen at 1:15. You might set off your pacemaker if you have one.
Still, good risk is the kind that comes with big rewards, and there's plenty of that here. You're in on the fun – the second of the three BASE jumpers has his GoPro rolling. And his party entrance is, shall we say, one that notches big points on the epic scale, with plenty of high-fives, 'F**-YEAHs!! and a few lovely ladies. We should all be BASE jumpers if it's gonna turn out like this. I love it.

But is it really the boom mike that's making my head pound? I know for sure that my camera man doesn't usually have two heads. I have to face facts. The mouse is winning.
Yesterday, I thought I knew what to expect from Narnia: good solid English cooking spiced up with the odd unusual ingredient, and good solid English people spiced up with the odd faun. And centaur. And talking animal. I'd longed to visit Narnia when I was a kid, but every time the notoriously capricious entry requirements, such as the bizarre and arbitrary lifetime limit on visits, relaxed the slightest bit, it would get invaded, get conquered, get re-conquered by the original rulers, or get hit by some natural disaster. The "Hundred-Year Winter" put the kibosh on the one time my parents even considered it.
When, by some bureaucratic miracle, my crew and I were permitted entry, I wondered if I was too old and jaded for Narnia. Maybe I'd been too old and jaded by the time I was twelve. Narnia is supposed to a land of clean living and old-fashioned values, where men are men and women are women and you have to go to Calormen to find anything more spicy than mulled wine. Not my kind of place at all, really."

Ribosomal DNA and the rDNA-binding protein Indra mediate non-random sister chromatid segregation in Drosophila male germline stem cells
Preprint posted on December 16, 2018 https://www.biorxiv.org/content/early/2018/12/16/498352?%3Fcollection=
Sisters are not always identical: Chromosomal immortality in germline stem cells rests on rDNA loci and their binding partner IndraSelected by Maiko Kitaoka
In a canonical cell cycle, replicated sister chromatids are assumed to be identical and segregated randomly into daughter cells. However, sisters can be epigenetically distinct and can undergo non-random segregation. This has thought to contribute to asymmetric cell divisions, particularly in stem cells where one daughter maintains a stem cell state and the other can differentiate.
Here, Watase and Yamashita use the Drosophila male germline stem cells to investigate the non-random sister segregation of X and Y chromosomes. The group has previously shown that autosomes segregate randomly, while X and Y chromosomes do not, but how and why this phenomenon occurs is still unknown.
Key findings
The authors first identified ribosomal DNA (rDNA) to be a key locus on the X and Y chromosomes. D. melanogaster autosomes do not contain any rDNA loci and also segregate randomly, suggesting that this feature on the sex chromosomes is an important aspect. Deletion strains with no rDNA loci on the X or Y chromosomes showed random sister chromatid segregation, demonstrating the requirement of rDNA loci for non-random segregation.
Since rDNA loci are very large and contain several individual and distinct elements, the authors compared D. melanogaster to D. simulans, whose Y chromosome still segregates non-randomly despite lacking several rDNA elements. Interestingly, both species had intergenic spacer sequence (IGS) repeats, so they attempted to identify any potential IGS-binding proteins by mass spectrometry. This allowed them to uncover 18 proteins enriched for IGS sequence binding, including an uncharacterized zinc finger protein. They named the gene indra after a Hindu god who lost immortality. Consistent with its proposed role with rDNA, Indra localizes to the nucleolus and to the rDNA loci on metaphase chromosomes.
In characterizing indra's function, Watase and Yamashita discovered that RNAi knockdown of indra led to random sister chromatid segregation. A stronger loss of indra in the germline revealed severe fertility defects due to the rapid loss of germ cells (and loss of cellular immortality). Using DNA FISH, they found that X and Y chromosomes frequently have inter-homolog exchange at the rDNA loci when indra is depleted, indicating indra's role in preventing recombination between the sex chromosomes. This could be accomplished by preventing DNA double stranded breaks at rDNA loci or by encouraging sister chromatid DNA repair, rather than homolog repair.
Interestingly, when indra is depleted from male germline, progeny exhibited a bobbed phenotype, where the stripes on the adult fly's back are not continuous and straight across, which has been shown to be a hallmark of rDNA insufficiency. This further implicates the role of rDNA, so how does Indra help to maintain rDNA copy number? Unequal sister chromatid exchange is a proposed mechanism for rDNA copy number expansion, where one chromatid gains copy number at the expense of the other. The authors propose that non-random sister chromatid segregation may reflect non-random segregation of higher vs. lower rDNA copy number after unequal sister chromatid exchange. While they could not measure the absolute copy number at rDNA loci, the authors observed multiple sister chromatid exchanges at rDNA loci in indra-depleted GSCs, potentially equalizing the rDNA copy number between sister chromatids. This indicates that indra limits the number of sister chromatid exchanges, pointing to a mechanism where indra acts to ensure that unequal exchange is productive and allows for unequal expansion of rDNA in the stem cell.
To conclude, Watase and Yamashita have discovered a mechanistic explanation to non-random sister chromatid segregation in asymmetric cell division, proving not only the importance of rDNA loci and the newly-named IGS binding protein Indra but also shedding light on the unique identities of sister chromatids. This exciting work opens many more questions for future investigation. Most immediately, it would be interesting to see whether an Indra binding site/IGS repeats are sufficient to induce non-random segregation on the D. melanogaster autosomes. Although, given that the rDNA locus is already very large, artificially adding it to autosomes may prove to be a technical challenge. Second, and more physiologically, what advantage do GSCs maintain by inheriting the sister chromatid with an expanded rDNA copy number? Perhaps the ability of GSCs to undergo repeated rounds of asymmetric cell division may contribute to this, since they would add rDNA copies gradually over time instead of all at once. Finally, the mass spectrometry pull-down experiment identified several other proteins as well that bound to IGS repeats. While some candidates are probably essential for cell survival, it will be interesting to investigate these further and see how they also interact with the rDNA loci and/or Indra.
Questions for the authors
The D. simulans Y chromosome has the Indra binding site and IGS repeats, but no other rDNA loci elements, so do they still show rDNA expansion? If not, how might the sister chromatids segregate non-randomly without the unequal rDNA expansion?
Can you speculate on Indra's mechanism of action after binding to IGS repeats? How does the binding prevent inter-homolog exchange and/or multiple sister chromatid exchanges?
In somatic stem cells, do the sex chromosomes segregate non-randomly and the autosomes randomly as well?

Faery Tales & Nightmares
By Melissa Marr
Narrated by Kaleo Griffith & Mia Barron / 9 hours 26 minutes
Faery Tales & Nightmares is an anthology of short stories by Melissa Marr, many set in the world of her Wicked Lovely series.
Marr revisits favorite fan characters such as faeries Niall and Irial, and introduces fascinating new beings, including a vampire, a pair of selchie brothers, and a goblin. The strange creatures can appear anywhere, coming from the sea, from the woods, from inside storms; they may come seeking to bring destruction or to find a passionate encounter…
Lush, seductive, and chilling, the stories in Melissa Marr's Faery Tales & Nightmares blend fairy tales and folklore, horror and fantasy, and allow us to revel in the unseen magic that infuses the world as we know it.
