Iran and Armenia have agreed to strengthen their cooperative relations in areas related to training, healthcare, disaster preparedness and response capabilities as well as further cooperation in border provinces.
The agreement was reached during the bilateral talks separately held between Prof. Seyed Amir Mohsen Ziaee, President of the Iranian Crescent Society who headed a high ranking delegation with three State Ministers, President of Armenia Red Cross and a number of senior Armenian officials early this week.
During his official visits to Armenia, Prof. Ziaee met with Mr. Davit Lokyan, Mr. Davit Tonoyan, and Dr. Levon Altunyan, Armenian Minister of Territorial Administration and Development, Minister of Emergency Situations, and Minister of Healthcare respectively as well as with Dr. Mkhitar Mnatsakanyan, President of Armenian Red Cross Society in Yerevan.
In these meetings, the both sides agreed to push for greater cooperation in areas related to the form of a specialised expert body to examine the fields of cooperation between the two countries, the commencement of collaboration between the border provinces on the provision of relief and rescue services in case of need and the provision of educational, medical and relief and rescue services in emergencies.
In his meeting at the Ministry of Territorial Administration and Development, Prof. Ziaee met with the Armenian Minister Mr. Davit Lokyan to introduce the efforts of the Iranian Red Crescent Society, its mandates and activities both inside and outside Iran.
"The Iranian Red Crescent is ready to cooperate with Armenia in the fields of human resource education, disaster risk reduction, healthcare services, sending pharmaceutical and medical equipments and products of the Iranian Red Crescent. In addition to the mentioned cooperation, a kind of communication and collaboration link can be established between the border provinces of the two countries," stated Prof. Ziaee in his speech with Mr. Davit Lokyan.
The Minister of Territorial Administration and Development also said that the Iranian Red Crescent has a bright record in all fields, especially in the field of relief and rescue services which would be very effective in the cooperation between Iran and Armenia.
Mr. Lokyan also announced the readiness of the Ministry of Territorial Administration and Development of Armenia and its relevant authorities for further cooperation with the Iranian Red Crescent, in line with the duties and missions of both parties.
Prof. Ziaee also, in a separate meeting with the Armenian Minister of Emergency Situations, referred to the review of the ways of developing bilateral cooperation and exchanging the facilities, experiences and equipment between the Iranian Red Crescent and this Ministry in Armenia.
Expressing his thanks for accepting the invitation by the Iranian Red Crescent delegation to visit Armenia, Mr. Davit Tonoyan mentioned that the capacity, strongness and volume of the activities of the Iranian Red Crescent Society, the structure of the rapid response teams and the Iranian Red Crescent Society's extensive network throughout Iran, as well as the cooperation between the provinces and counties of the Iranian Red Crescent in the country are very impressive.
The President of the Red Crescent Society of Iran also met with the Armenian Minister of Healthcare, announcing the readiness of the National Society to transfer 81 types of medicines to Armenia and Eurasia produced by the Iranian pharmaceutical companies affiliated to the Iranian Red Crescent Society. He also announced the readiness of the Iranian National Society on establishing a medical centre in cooperation with the Ministry of Healthcare and the Armenian Red Cross, as well as the establishment of temporary/mobile posts for relief and rescue on the routes of Iranian tourists to Armenia.
At this meeting, Armenian Minister of Healthcare Dr. Altunyan noted that three Ministries of Territorial Administration and Development, Minister of Emergency Situations and Healthcare could have special planning to provide appropriate services and cooperation between the two countries in proper engagement with the Iranian Red Crescent.
In the meetings, H.E. Mr. Seyed Kazem Sajjadi, Ambassador of Iran in Armenia, separately thanked the Armenian Ministers for the visit invitation and paving the way for the presence of the Iranian Red Crescent delegation headed by Prof. Ziaee, President of the Iranian Red Crescent Society in Armenia, and said: "The deep link between the two countries requires to rush for help of each other in time of emergencies in case of need,".
He also expressed his hope that, with existing interactions, we will see the development of further cooperation and communications between the two countries of Iran and Armenia more than ever.

Episode 7 Recap -
In episode 6, Hana went to Jun's studio to find Seo Jun and argue with him about the photo. Hana walked into the small house and found Sun Ho sleeping on the couch.
Seo Jun and his assistant, Jo Soo were on their way back to the studio. They heard yelling sound from the small house, Seo Jun rushed in and saw Hana. He quickly drags her out of the small room.
Seo Jun: Why you're here?! You said you didn't want to see me even for 1 second, and now you're here? How did you know the address of the studio? Seems like you did a lot of research on me.
Hana: What are you talking about? Do you think I want to come here? What's this?
Seo Jun: What's that?
Hana: You will know after seeing it.
Seo Jun : Oh? This!
Hana: Still pretending? You used my photo and still pretending?
Seo Jun: Where's Jo Soo?! Ya! Jo Soo!!
Jo Soo: Why is this here?
Hana still sulking over her photo in Seo Jun's studio, while the guys were discussing about it at the cafe.
Sun Ho: Who's that?
Waiter: He used the girls photo right?
Seo Jun: It's not me!
Sun Ho: We know that, but how did you manage to take her photo?
Waiter: She doesn't look like a model though.
Seo Jun: Of course she doesn't look like a model.
Sun Ho: Then why did you took her photo? I thought you only take photos of professional models.
Seo Jun: When did I?!
Jo Soo was done talking on the phone with the client, and tells Seo Jun that Hana's photo was chosen, because they liked the photo.
Seo Jun: Didn't I asked you delete her photo the other day?
Jo Soo: Actually, I was curious.
Seo Jun: About what?
Jo Soo: Chief, you always take photos of professional models only, but this time you took photos of a girl, so I was curious.
Jo Soo explained clearly about the situation to Sun Ho, who was standing by the side.
Jo Soo: Actually it's like this, Chief was being rejected by that girl at Japan,
Seo Jun : Ah actually it's nothing, I met her randomly in Japan, and rejected her, now she's here to look for me. It's so annoying, hahaha. I've something to do..
Seo Jun goes down to his studio after that awkward situation, he saw Hana's still there waiting to argue with him.
Hana: What is this all about?
Seo Jun: Don't know. The client chose it, what can I do?
Hana: What?
Seo Jun: I'm a victim too. All the photographers in my field, knew that I took that photo. Although it's just a flyer, but with that kind of picture, I feel bad too.
Hana: That kind of picture?! Shameless! Who asked you take my photo ?
Seo Jun: Shameless?! When did I took picture of you ? I was taking the photo of "Diamond Snow", you're the one that came in and destroyed my photo! It's your fault or my fault now? I don't have to take any responsibility.
Hana: So, who's responsibility is this?
Seo Jun: I'm saying, if I took photo of Madison County Bridges, because it's too beautiful, and some ducks came in the photo, should I ask the duck's permission? If I took the photo of the beautiful sky, and a butterfly appears, should I ask the butterfly's permission?
Hana: You have to take responsibility!
Seo Jun: No!
Hana: You have to take it all back.
Seo Jun: If you have all the time in the world, you can do it.
Hana: You're really ridiculous! You should at least say "sorry".
Seo Jun: As I told you before, I will never say that word.
Hana: What happens if someone sees this?
Seo Jun: Who you didn't want to show?
Seo Jun immediately thought about Hana's senior,
Seo Jun: Isn't it funny? You said you didn't even want to see me for 1 second, and now you're here arguing with me. Isn't this more than 1 second? Ahh, so you don't keep your words, you don't have any principles. You don't even have self-esteem? Or you want to scam some money?
Hana walks out of the studio angrily with teary eyes. All the 3 others guys, were left with questioned mark outside the studio door. Seo Jun then walks out as if he doesn't care about anything.
At a garden, Yoon Hee sits on a bench, writing her diary. She was still like old times, gentle and beautiful.
One of her student, approached her to look at their trees. Yoon Hee works as a botanist.
Seo Jun goes to the client and complaints about Hana's photo, that they used for the flyers. But the client liked Hana's photo very much and they want to contact her as soon as possible. The client then suggested that Seo Jun and him to open up a business together, but Seo Jun didn't want to.
Jo Soo drives Seo Jun back to the studio.
Jo Soo: I was so shocked, Chief.
Seo Jun: Now what?
Jo Soo: I didn't expect that you will help out that girl. It's the first time, I am seeing you helping others.
Seo Jun: Shutup! What did i helped!
Hana reached her mom's garden and still upset about her photo. During dinner, Hana asked Tae Sung's help to convince her mom not to let Hana stay alone in Seoul. But Yoon Hee disagreed, she said it would be very tiring to travel everyday from Seoul to their living place.
After dinner, Hana and Tae Sung were talking a stroll infront of Hana's house. She told him that she accidentally read her mom's diary few years back, and she knew about her mom's first love from the diary. It's a secret though, however she wants them to meet again. Tae Sung promised that he will keep it as a secret.
Hye Jung picks In Ha up with her car, and agreed to let In Ha drive. They were heading to Ces't La Vie gathering at Chang Mo's cafe.
Hye Jung: Is there something wrong with your mouth? Why is it so hard for you to talk?! Since the moment you got in the car, you didn't even look at me once!
In Ha: You look tired.
Hye Jung: Well, it's okay.. it's because of work. Recently, I don't drink alcohol at all.
In Ha: I heard that you like someone, what about getting a second marriage?
Hye Jung: Once is enough. But it seems like you have someone in your heart?
In Ha: You should this better, it's impossible. I like to live alone.
Hye Jung: I know, i know.. it's getting late.. drive faster.
In Ces't La Vie cafe, 4 of them were reminiscing about their past, during university days. Chang Mo put up some young photos of them on the wall.
On the other side, Seo Jun was in a club enjoying with his friends. Girls were flirting with him, but he was lost in his thoughts.
Chang Mo tells Hye Jung that Yoon Hee is still alive. Hye Jung asked Chang Mo not to tell In Ha about it.
A girl in the club comes over to Seo Jun, and talks to him.
Girl: What kind of girl do you like?
Seo Jun: It's okay if her head is small, but at least she must have a pretty face, and look awesome with anything she wear, so her body must be perfect, she must have great fashion sense.
Girl: That's me right?
Seo Jun: You like opera? You must know how to communicate with me for topics like music, fashion and art. Must be cool during break up, and..
Suddenly, Hana's face flashes through Seo Jun's mind. He don't even know why is he thinking of her. Jo Soo calls Seo Jun and told him that the client wants to change photographer, because they only want Hana as the model.
Hana is crying on the bridge thinking about what she just heard about Tae Sung having a girlfriend and has a flash back of seeing him walking with a girl.
Seo Jun: What are you doing? Are you crying? How did I find you as soon as I came here? You must really be my destiny.
Hana : Just what are you doing here?
Seo Jun: It's your problem. How could you not come back to complain? Of course you should have come back to complain. Otherwise I wouldn't have to come all the way here. Your self-management is a little too lax. Doing nothing is like refusing? That's why I saying you're easy.
Hana: You're doing it again. Who's easy? Why are always saying things like this to me? Who are you?
Seo Jun turns to look at her and notices that she is crying again.
Seo Jun: Is something wrong?
Hana: If you have something to say just say it.
Seo Jun: What?
Hana: Didn't you come because you had something to say to me? You're not someone who comes here even if you don't need anything. Yes I'm an idiot. I'm easy so I'm easy to trick. I will believe anything so say whatever you want to me.
Hana is crying and Seo Jun looks at her and turns his head.
Seo Jun: I'm sorry. I said I'm sorry.
Seo Jun hears that she is still crying and turns to face her.
Seo Jun: Fine. I'm sorry for dragging you everywhere in Japan. I'm sorry for saying mean things. I'm sorry for making you appear in the advertisement. Is that enough?
Hana is still sobbing.
Seo Jun: I said I'm sorry. Why are you still crying?
Hana: I feel happy in my heart.
Hana is sitting on a bench with a handkerchief and Seo Jun is sitting on another one and asks once again what happened to make her like that. Hana doesn't answer but thanks him for apologizing. She asks him to tell her what he came here to say but he doesn't want to so she gets up to leave. Seo Jun grabs her arm.
Seo Jun: You. Do you want to be my model?
Hana: Why? Me?
Seo Jun: Don't misunderstand. It's not me that wants you. It's the advertiser.
He turns and looks away and continues
Seo Jun:
I'll be honest. After seeing the picture, the advertiser wants you. If you don't do it He'll find another photographer. I'm apologizing to you right now. It's hurting my pride but its hurts my pride more if my place gets taken again by another photographer. Answer within 3 seconds. 1 second …2 second…
Before Hana could answer they are interrupted by Tae Sung. Seo Jun was surprised to see him asks if they came together. Tae Sung apologizes to Hana and takes her hand. Hana has nothing to say to him and saids that. Then Seo Jun takes her other arm and she turns to look.
Tae Sung: What?
Seo Jun: She saids she has nothing to say.
Hana: Stop it. Sunbae.
Hana turns to Seo Jun.
ana: Excuse me.
Seo Jun: You. If you make the decision to throw me away again. Then it's really over.
Hana removes her arm from his grip and tells him that she will be his model and for him to leave for now and she'll contact him and turns to leave with Tae Sung. Angrily Seo Jun tells her not to contact him.
Yoon Hee notices Seo Jun walking back to his car and watches him. Hana looks down to ask Tae Sung about whether or not he is dating anyone. Tae Sung tells her that she's his fiancée from when he was young. Hana is very surprised to hear this and tells him she feels stupid for not knowing this and for him not to be so good too her. She confesses about her one-sided love and tells him she will be okay smiling but with tears in her eyes and then she leaves.
Seo Jun gets a call regarding his mom and hurries home. In Ha goes to see Hye Jung and sees that she has been drinking a lot and can't stand up right. He tries to help her but she insists she is fine. Seo Jun races home to see his dad there with his mom. He tells his dad to leave now that he's home. His mom gets up and asks In ha if the three of them can be a family again but In Ha apologizes because he can't. Seo Jun hearing this leaves the house to go to his car. In Ha goes after him and asks to talk but Seo Jun doesn't want to and drives away quickly.
Seo Jun is in his studio doing his photoshoot as the phone rings but upon seeing that it's Hana he ignores the call. That person calls again and again but he ignores it. His friends are curious as to why he is being like this.
Hana is eating breakfast with her mom and they make plans to look at rooms together later on in the afternoon as Hana tells her she has somewhere to go during lunch.
Seo Jun being moody tells his assistant that he will look at the pictures later and gets a text and at first looks again and then looks closely realizing what it said and asks the assistant to change the schedule so he is shooting here today.
Hana enters his studio and watches him shooting the model and smudging her lipstick with his hand to make them look kissable and leans closer as if to kiss her. The model pulls away laughing. Seo Jun turns back around and sees Hana and tells his assistant to kick her out as he doesn't allow others in while shooting. The assistant is apologetic so Hana leaves to wait outside asking when they will be done. The assistant tells her an hour but Seo Jun informs them it won't end til tonight as he is shooting things for tomorrow today. Seo jun looks at her as she leaves.
Hana is outside waiting wondering if he was really mad as he didn't answer any of her phone calls. She almost gets up to leave but doesn't. In ha walks outside the school after his class as he remembers his encounters with Yoon Hee there. He calls Seo Jun asking him if he wants to go for a drink with him as he will be going to his studio. Seo Jun's assistant arrives asking if he should call Hana and begs him to ask her model once as the advertiser called many times. Seo Jun asks if she is still waiting and tells him he doesn't want to do it. The assistant wonders why he won't do it and guesses that maybe she rejected him twice. Seo Jun pretends to strangle him and leads him out of the studio.
Hana is practicing doing poses outside while waiting and notices the waitress watching so pretends to stretch and sits back down and notices lilies blooming so she begins to weed to help them bloom better. Seo Jun sees her and walks toward her. Before he gets there Hana receives a call from her mom who tells her she will wait nearby. Hana sees him and tells him why she came and he interrupts her telling her he has something to say. He notices his friends watching and walks away from them telling Hana to follow.
In Ha is walking on one side of the street while Yoon Hee is walking on the other. They both don't see each other.
After they reached a certain distance Hana calls out.
Hana: Hey there. What do you want to say?
Seo Jun: Didn't I say that time that if you didn't choose me that it's completely over? I'm that type of person that once I say it's over then it's completely over for me.
Hana: Really? Okay then. Let's leave it. Then did you show off just to tell me that?
Hana turns to leave.
Seo Jun: I still have things to say.
He then notices the rain and grabs her arm to lead her under cover and the look at each other and look away. (Cute).
In Ha and Yoon Hee notice the rain as well. Yoon Hee opens her yellow umbrella. As In Ha walks past her he notices her somehow but as he reaches the other side he turns around and suddenly realizes its Yoon Hee and continues to wach her by following her on the other side of the street. In ha is running across the street to meet her and stops right in front of her. Yoon Hee lifts her umbrella and takes her first good look at him.
In Ha: Am I right?
He takes of his glasses as they both really look at each other.
Thanks for reading.

AboveWhispers Panache : How Healthy Are Your Nails?
By Edna Ukachi
Having beautiful, healthy nails is one of the desires of everyone, especially women. Beautiful nails contribute in boosting one's confidence, especially when one has to stretch forth their hand in an introduction. It is soothing to hear compliments about our nails from the person we are shaking hands with. But, dull, unhealthy, brittle nails make our confidence take the back seat.
Let's share some factors responsible for rough, dry and unhealthy nails (in no particular order):
Too Much Usage Of Nail Polish.
A lot of us ladies try to use nail polish to cover unhealthy nails; while some of us are simply addicted to nail polish (can I get a witness?) As enchanting as some of these polishes are, we need to take it easy on the application.
Long Term Exposure To Chemicals Or Water.
Yes! I know that as women, we use our hands a lot, especially in the kitchen. We do our laundry, the dishes, other related chores, and we get our hands soaked in water. This is unavoidable, but you can prevent the water or chemical from damaging your nails by drying your nails immediately after you wash your hands, or after your hands have come in contact with water.
Unhealthy Diet.
The role of diet in our entire outlook cannot be overemphasized. A healthy nail diet consists of fruits, vegetables, protein-rich foods, water and calcium. Begin to take a glass of milk everyday and watch your nails transform from weak to strong and healthy.
Biting of nails.
If you are guilty of this, you need to stop, as it causes bacterial skin infections on the nails from your mouth.
Now you know some of the reasons why you have brittle nails.
As a woman, it is important to care for every part of your body. Not just the hair and face. That's why we've compiled amazing D-I- Y tips and tricks to help your nails look the part…without breaking the bank.
Green tea: Green tea is rich in antioxidants which prevent your nails from getting brittle and yellow discolouration. Simply soak your nails in a freshly brewed green tea for about 10-15mins, twice a week or massage your nails with a mixture prepared by stirring few drops of green tea essential oil with aloe vera gel or coconut oil for once or twice a week.
Olive oil: This is a good moisturizer for your nails and cuticles, owing to the linoleic acid contained in it.Simply mix 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice in 3 teaspoons of warm olive oil. Apply it on your nails by using a cotton swab at night, before bedtime. Leave to dry and wear a pair of soft cotton gloves. Leave this on overnight and rinse off with warm water in the morning.
Apple Cider Vinegar: Also known as ACV, Apple Cider Vinegar contains many enzymes, nutrients and acids that protect your nails, making it healthy and strong. To get the best results, use raw, organic and unpasteurized ACV. To use, simple drink a glass of water mixed with with 1 teaspoon of organic ACV for 2-3 times daily.
Tea tree oil: Tea tree oil contains Terpinen-4- ol that possess antiseptic and antimicrobial property which protects your nails from infections. To use, mix 4-5 drops of tea tree oil with one½ teaspoon of vitamin E oil. Apply on your nails and massage gently.
Rinse off with lukewarm water after it gets dried completely. These are really easy, but effective ways to treat your nails. Items can be purchased at pharmaceuticals and supermarkets. Do these, and you're on your way to healthier-looking nails.
We love to have feedback. Please contact us via email at… Let us know if this works for you. Do drop your comments and questions in the comment section. We are itching to help you.
One Response to AboveWhispers Panache : How Healthy Are Your Nails?
I'm guilty of biting my nails. Lol. I need to stop it. It's a horrid habit.
Thanks for the tips

Empty Nest: Marijuana
Last month I wrote an article on marijuana use. I cited information from the American Institute of Drug Abuse and a nationwide coalition of high school students. To summarize the report: Marijuana is a highly addictive substance and the most common illegal drug involved in auto fatalities. It can have negative effects on attention, memory, and learning. It is linked to depression and anxiety, and can lower an individual's IQ.
I received a barrage of feedback, both positive and negative, by phone, text, and e-mail. The negative feedback was, of course, belligerent and threatening. I got the distinct impression that the negative feedback was coming from actual marijuana users who may have been high at the time.
While this was going on, I made a whirlwind trip to Colorado to visit a sick friend. Along the way, I picked up the sick friend's brother here in Iowa, and took him along.
Recreational use of marijuana is legal in Colorado. The brother, who rode along with me, has a number of health issues involving pain. So, he was looking forward to the trip to Colorado for more than one reason.
The first thing the brother wanted to do upon arrival in Colorado was find a "head shop." I was curious, and tagged along for the experience. I was amazed by the whole scene. Non-Colorado residents are allowed to purchase a small quantity of marijuana. The head shops have "marijuana advisers" to assist in the purchase and make recommendations. Just the aroma in the head shop alone was enough to knock me out.
After the visit to the head shop, the brother decided he needed a new pipe. We went to a paraphernalia shop. I stayed in the car. While in the car waiting, my mind raced. "Aw, go ahead and have some weed. What's it gonna hurt? No one will know. It's legal here. Yeah but, you know the craving will start, and when we get back to Iowa where it's not legal, you'll turn to alcohol for the high. You wanna blow 25 years of sobriety?" I reached in my pocket and pulled out my sobriety medallion. The first thing I saw was "To Thine Own Self Be True." Ah, I had my answer.
We visited my sick friend. He has a roommate who is on disability and has a medical prescription for marijuana. The roommate smokes pot all day long. That's all he does. He doesn't work, he doesn't do anything except zone out in front of the TV and smoke pot. The brother and this roommate got along real well.
It was time for me to come back to Iowa. I had spent the time I needed with my sick friend. The brother decided to stay. Shock shock. He would take a bus back. I drove home alone.
The next week I called the brother to see if he had made it home. It was the middle of the day. The phone rang and rang. Finally, a groggy voice answered. It was the brother. He seemed confused as to why I was calling. Yes, he was still in Colorado. No, he didn't know when he was coming home.
That was six weeks ago. The brother is still there. In weed heaven. His wife and family back in Iowa are fit to be tied.
I rest my case.
For people with differing opinions, please organize your thoughts and submit them to the newspaper. In America, we have something called the free press.

The communities of Cumberland and North Yarmouth are in need of a performing arts center. We are fortunate to have an excellent, successful music program that cultivates talent from middle school through high school. The Greely High School Jazz Band swept the Maine State Jazz Festival last spring in every category. Music is not an extracurricular program, but an integral part of the curriculum for many students, and they have earned a place to perform here in their own community. They travel all over the state and perform in clean, climate-controlled facilities, but then come home to perform in the small, poorly ventilated high school cafeteria or in an echoing, uncomfortable gymnasium. Please vote for a place for them, and all of the performing arts, to display their talents in a facility where the entire community can enjoy them.

My contributions to satire sites
I know a bunch of random people on facebook and we collectively do satire on many pages. You can go on facespace and search "Stop Masturbation Now", "Brother Lonnie's University of Faith Facts/BLUFF", "Pit Bull Execution Live", "Christians for Michelle Bachman", "Stop Smoking Weed", and you'll be led to other stuff to. We just started an actual website recently. http://www.stopmasturbationnow.org/ We're actually going to have a meet up in Vegas in November.We're part of a fake cult. We got a mention in Vanity Fair.From Vanity Fair website: "Michael Moore?s tweet vaunting his upcoming documentary about an anti-masturbation dolphin named Fappy was part of an online hoax that also included a detailed press release. In said release, Lonnie Childs, the presumably fictional president and founder of Stop Masturbation Now, was quoted as telling CNN: ?What our organization does is designed to help make children and parents aware of the dangers of masturbation in and outside of the home. God willing, one day masturbation will be illegal.? It is unknown whether Moore is a victim or a party to the hoax. Regardless, somebody better call Errol Morris, because this guy Childs needs a documentary all his own."

After a big Friday night of action where both of these teams had solid wins, these two face off against one another tonight in Toronto. The NBA Odds have the Raptors as -1 ½ favorites here, with a total of less than 200 points at 199 ½. With both teams likely tired after their games just 24 hours ago, let's take a deeper look into these lines in order to find value.
Defense; it's what's for dinner
The team that plays better and with the most intensity on the defensive end of the floor is going to win this game, plain and simple. With both teams tired, the team that puts for the most effort tonight will win the game, and at home, I think that may just be the Raptors. The Clippers are only 5-5 ATS this season when playing on no rest, and with the Clippers having to go into Toronto, it might be one of the toughest back to backs the league has to offer after a tough game in Chicago last night.
The Raptors only allow around 97 points per game at home during the first half of the season, and despite the fact that the Clippers have been on a nice hot streak scoring the ball even without Chris Paul, they might run into a brick wall off the back to back. With their win last night, the Clippers improved their road record against the East, but they are still surprisingly below .500 in inter-conference games, going 6-7 SU and 7-6 ATS.
Even though the Clippers have held their eastern opponents to only 92 points per game this season, that number is skewed because it includes home games against the East as well, and the Raptors are actually a pretty good Eastern Conference team. When it's all said and done tonight, I see the Raptors gaining a home victory ATS and SU.
The Sharp Pick
While the Raptors also played last night, they have been very good this season playing with no rest. On the year, the Raptors are 6-3 ATS when playing on the second night of a back to back, and it gets even better when they are playing their second game in two nights at home. In their road-home or home-home back to backs this season, the Raptors are 4-0 SU and ATS in the second game at home.
The Clippers are nice, but their point guard play has been spotty and inconsistent without Paul, and furthermore, Darren Collison is dealing with a toe injury right now, and it could be the reason why he has been shaky. The Raptors are only 8-7 ATS against the West this season, but playing a team that is probably more tired than they are is going to really help their cause of covering tonight as -1 ½ NBA Odds favorites.
While the Raptors' home defense isn't as great as their overall numbers would suggest, it's likely because their score more than four points better per game at home than they do on the road. Don't hesitate to lay the point or two with the Raptors tonight for your NBA picks.
NBA Pick: Raptors -1 ½

Programme Description
What Are Personality Styles?
Every person has distinctive characteristics and qualities, which influence their thinking, preferences and behaviour. The DISC Personality Profiling System is a tool that aims to help individuals to increase effectiveness as they identify and capitalise on strengths, whilst recognising potential limitations and blind spots.
DISC is a four-quadrant behavioural model based on the work of William Moulton Marston Ph.D. (1893 – 1947) to examine the behaviour of individuals in a particular environment or within a specific situation. People with similar styles tend to exhibit specific common behavioural characteristics. All people share these four styles in varying degrees of intensity. The acronym DISC stands for the four personality styles represented by the letters: Dominant, Influencing, Steady and Compliant
Programme Benefits
Enhancing Interpersonal Communications
The DISC Personality Profiling System helps resolve potential interpersonal problems by providing insights into an individual's preferred communication style. By being aware of an individual's preferred style, it helps us adapt our own styles to others' in order to minimise miscommunication and optimise communications. Communications among students and educators, between students and educators are enhanced through the understanding, appreciation and adaptation of the DISC communication styles.
Building Effective Teams
Strong and effective teams are formed on the basis of mutual trust when team members understand and appreciate each other and their contributions to the group. The DISC Personality Profiling System™ helps students and educators to understand why others behave in a particular way which they may not instinctively appreciate. It enhances interpersonal understanding and reduces the misreading of comments and actions.
Empowering Personal Development & Personnel Management
People excel in roles that match their skills and natural behaviour style. The DISC Personality Profiling Style System™ can reveal personal, management and leadership qualities, detail-oriented and organisational skills, natural sales ability, personal service and team-player tendencies. The DISC profile highlights the greatest motivation and fear of each personality style, as well as the ideal environment in which each individual thrives in. By understanding individual differences and preferences, educators can better manage, motivate and develop their students.
Boosting Stress Management Capabilities
The DISC Personality Profiling System™ identifies individuals who are experiencing transitions in life or stress as a result of unclear expectations, over-achieving, coping with changes and poor stress management techniques. Early identification and management of stress are essential in modern life, and the DISC profile provides a simple but powerful tool for detection and remedy. Better stress management results in higher individual, group and organisational resilience.
Augmenting Career Planning (Students)
Certain personality styles suit certain occupations or job roles. The DISC Personality Profiling System™ facilitates effective career planning by helping students discover aspects of their individual style which may be more compatible with certain jobs. A successful job match will allow an individual to be more satisfied, productive and creative at his or her workplace.

Mr C and I are well experienced in the art that is finding gifts to post to relatives and friends. So when Baker Days asked if they could send me one of their letterbox cakes to review, I was only too happy to oblige!
Tag Archives: gift ideas
Lemon Body Scrub
If you've got some leftover lemons from pancake day, and you've started thinking about Mother's Day gifts, this could be a quick solution to use up your lemons and make a lovely homemade lemon body scrub gift.
Lemons are a great antioxidant for the skin, sugar is a great exfoliator and olive oil is a natural moisturiser. Put the three together, and you've got a great fresh scented body scrub.
It's simple to make. Just mix the ingredients at ratio of:
1 lemon
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup of olive oil
Then all you have to do is find something airtight to present it in. I used an old baby food jar and stuck some coloured paper to the top, or you could paint the lid. Make a little label and tie it on with some ribbon to make your gift more attractive.
This makes a lovely gift, and is a great idea for children to get involved in as they can do the mixing and help with the decorating.
Just one quick word of warning – if you suffer from broken skin this may not be ideal due to the acidity of the lemon.
The Best Toy for a Wee Boy
I was standing watching Lewis playing in the rain the other day and wondering what I would get him for his Birthday in May that would come anywhere close to giving him the enjoyment as he has gotten from one particular toy. So much so, that I thought I would share it with you.
There is so much choice when it comes to toys for your children, sometimes it's hard to know where to start. There is so much to consider! How much does it cost? How often will they play with it? How long will it last? Where will I store it? It's hard to make sure you're not buying on impulse, either yours or theirs!
When Lewis was a toddler he loved Little Tikes Coupe cars. They had one at a softplay he visited regularly, and he always made a bee-line straight for it. I considered buying him one, but I was reluctant. They are quite expensive and I was worried that the novelty would wear off.
However, the matter was taken out of my hands when he received one as a gift, from a family member. He adores his car! He got it for his second birthday, and now, nearly four years old, he still plays with it all the time!
Even on a wet day he can play in his car for hours, as the little roof helps to keep him dry. He loves that it has a little boot compartment so he can travel around with his smaller toys in it.
The only thing I would say is you need to have a flat surface to really get good use from it. It doesn't go very well on grass, and not at all on gravel. However, if you have some slabs, or a flat path, I think this is the best toy for a wee boy!
We always stored the car in the garden shed, so apart from a little wear to the wheels, it still looks as good as new. However, if you didn't have anywhere to store it and just left it outside I don't imagine it would be a problem as it's plastic.
Lewis is starting to become more interested in his bicycle, and possibly this will be the last summer he spends so much time in his car. I couldn't count the hours he has spent in it though! Two years of playing without getting bored. Pretty good investment in my opinion!
Please note, this is not a sponsored post. I just think it's the best toy for a wee boy!
Heart Shaped Chocolate Shortbread
After a rather pathetic attempt at making heart shaped flapjacks for Mr C. on Valentine's Day, it was back to the drawing board. I refused to buy any more ingredients so it had to be something I could make from what I had. The decision was heart shaped chocolate coated shortbread. I was still a little bitter about my flapjacks, but I knew that Lewis (3) would love helping to make these.
You will need:
200g butter or margarine
100g caster sugar
400g flour
1/4tsp salt
1 tablespoon golden syrup (this can be omitted if preferred but it adds a honeyed flavour)
75g milk chocolate
150g white chocolate
red food dye
heart shaped cookie cutters
To get started cream the butter, golden syrup and sugar together. Then mix in the flour and salt. You will get quite a dry mixture that you should knead until it holds together.
Roll out the mixture onto a floured surface and cut out your heart shapes. Place these onto a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper and bake for 20 minutes at 180 degrees.
When the shortbread has cooled, melt the chocolate according to the pack instructions. I suggest you do this in three stages, just melting the amount you need for each coloured coating at one time.
To make pink or red chocolate, simply add red food colouring to melted white chocolate until you have the colour you desire.
Dip the shortbread into the melted chocolate and leave to harden.
When your biscuits have hardened you just need to package them. I used a box I had and lined it with some red tissue paper left over from Christmas. And viola…
Of course you can obtain a 'neater' finish with the chocolate if you just do it yourself without a three year old's help, but that would take away all the fun!

Origin of Santa's List Day:
We have it on good authority, that this day was created at the North Pole.
We interviewed Santa, and a few of his top elves. They tell us that they strive to make the first draft of Santa's "Naughty" and "Nice" lists by this day. Then, they review and adjust it, all the way to Christmas eve.
Santa told us that doing extra chores, or something special to help out around the house between now and Christmas, will get you off the "Naughty" list, and onto the "Nice" list.

Comedian Mark Malkoff challenged himself to connect with people all over the globe via Skype, proving that you don't need air tickets to travel the world.
Taking to Facebook and Twitter to locate people, he initiated a video chat with each of these willing participants.
What followed were heartwarming exchanges with people of all diversities, many of whom shared snippets of their lives and daily activities.
Although most of the people Malkoff connected with could speak English, they shared their native languages with him. Some even sang him songs and introduced their children and pets to him.
"It was just love and peace… you know, we're way more similar than different. And I've gotten a lot of messages from viewers around the world that… the video definitely made them laugh, but people were crying a lot. I mean, the words were just very touching," said Malkoff about the messages he took away from the people he spoke to.

Mason, another one of my milestone babies, has grown into such a personality – he's so incredibly sweet and content and at the same time already has a real sense of humor. And a trooper he is, too! It was incredibly hot despite shooting quite early in the morning, but he had a blast. I loved that his parents took the opportunity and had me do a couple of shots of just the two of them as well – aren't they gorgeous?

Mason's 6 months Milestone Session | Sandy Springs Baby PhotographerSunday, September 1st, 2013
Aayla's 6 months Milestone Session | Acworth Baby PhotographerTuesday, August 20th, 2013
Aayla… love her name, love her family, love everything about this little girl. This was her third session with me and I cannot wait for the next one. She has such a super cute personality; so laid-back and sweet, and her gorgeous eyes and perfect skin give me baby fever every time I see her. We had a fun time at Marietta's Life College and I'm in love with every single shot from this session. See you again soon, Miss A.!
Newborn Cora | Kennesaw Newborn PhotographerThursday, July 18th, 2013
I couldn't wait to meet baby Cora after her Mommy's maternity session. Cora had a little bit of a hard time going and especially staying asleep so it took a little more patience than usual to get sleepy shots of her, but I do love the results. My favorites are the ones of her on yellow and the ones in the birds nest on the wood floor, she looks so angelic.
The hand shot was the parents' idea and while we were waiting for her to relax for that one, I got a chance to watch her nurse, which mama allowed me to photograph and it's quite possibly one of my most favorite pictures ever. So spontaneous and divinely lit by just the window light.
Newborn Brooke | Canton Newborn PhotographerFriday, July 5th, 2013
Baby Brooke is here! After her Mommy's super sweet maternity session I couldn't wait to meet Brooke, who is such a little sweetheart. I am very much looking forward to watching her grow as we do her milestone sessions every few months.

Waiting for Baby Brooke | Canton Maternity PhotographerFriday, June 14th, 2013
Heather's maternity session was wonderful and so special – the couple already has a teenage daughter, who was such a big help and who was so incredibly excited about the arrival of her baby sister. Such a sweet family, this baby will be ever so loved and welcomed into a wonderful home. I will see baby Brooke not only for her newborn session but for all of her first-year-milestones as well.
6-months old Paxton | Johns Creek Baby PhotographerTuesday, June 4th, 2013
Newborn Twins Ethan + Elijah | Woodstock Newborn Twin PhotographerSaturday, June 1st, 2013
Today we get to visit with a pair of very special brothers, twins Ethan and Elijah. Twins are such a miracle and I absolutely love photographing them. Not only are they super sweet and adorable, they are also a challenge (in a good way). Trying to keep both of them asleep or awake at the same time can be a difficult endeavor! Ethan and Elijah loved to take turns sleeping and waking for me, keeping me on my toes.
I'm a bit behind on blogging and I actually had the pleasure of catching up with these two recently for their 3-months session. I can't wait to share with you how much they've grown.
3-months old Ethan | Roswell Baby PhotographerThursday, May 23rd, 2013
3-months old Mason | Sandy Springs Baby PhotographerTuesday, April 30th, 2013
Mason is one of my milestone babies which means I get to capture those gorgeous eyes every three months for his first year. Today I'm sharing a glimpse of Mason's 3-month session. Along with Mommy and Daddy, Mason was joined by his pet Weimaraners, Aces and Avery, who were already very protective of their newest family member (in a super sweet way).

Record high temperature Wednesday in Oklahoma City
More than 100-year-old record falls
Record high temperature Wednesday in Oklahoma City
More than 100-year-old record falls
Even though it didn't hit 80 degrees in Oklahoma City on Wednesday, the official high temperature of 79 degrees broke a record for the high temperature for the day.
It may not seem significant that the old high temperature of 78 degrees was beaten by only one degree, but what's significant is how old the record was. The previous record was set in 1893, 122 years ago.
This was the third consecutive record high temperature in Oklahoma City and never before has Oklahoma City had three consecutive days with high temperatures over 75 degrees in January.
Here are the record high temperatures from the last three days and old records that were broken in Oklahoma City:
- Jan. 26, 77 degrees. Old record: 71 degrees, 1999
- Jan. 27, 78 degrees. Old record: 72 degrees, 1914
- Jan. 28, 79 degrees. Old record, 78 degrees, 1893

The title of the film – Black Sea – is both descriptive and geographic.
Jude Law plays Robinson, a submarine captain put out to graze by his salvage company who finds an audacious way to get back at his old bosses and make some money at the same time. The "MacGuffin" in this movie is a wartime German U-Boat that disappeared without trace in 1941 along with a fortune in Russian gold. Robinson pulls around him a team of divers and submariners – some less mentally stable than others – together with a reluctant banker (evil, naturally) and they set off from Sevastopol in an old hulk of a sub in search of the loot.
They find the treasure, split the loot and all live happily ever after. Well, no, obviously not. This claustrophobic drama pits man against man as ethnic tensions and greed collide in the pursuit of the spoils.
The movie starts with the feel of a low budget UK film. Surprising given Kevin Macdonald of "Last King of Scotland" fame directs. However my lowered expectations were then progressively raised by an interesting albeit belief-suspending story, some decent acting and a modicum of suspense. Jude Law gives one of his better performances of recent years and also noteworthy is the youngster on board – Tobin played by Bobby Schofield – who you end up really caring about far more than most of the rest of the cast.
Followers of the Fad may recall my comments about the unsuitability of this year's "Under the Skin" to US audiences due to the impenetrable Glaswegian accents: here Jude Law gives non-British ears a similarly challenging Scottish accent, ably supported by tricky Liverpudlian and Russian dialects! This is not helped by a less than crisp vocal audio track, often drowned out by the music and foley work. #subtitles=on.
Bits of just about every submarine and underwater movie ever made – including Das Boot, K19: The Widowmaker, The Hunt for Red October, Run Silent Run Deep and The Enemy Below – are put into the movie blender, mixed with a dash of The Abyss and spiced with a soupçon of the finale of Caine's Italian Job. As such this has the feel of a film you have seen before, and its release timing – a thriller in the first week of December – suggests a studio view of this being cannon fodder: not good enough for the summer blockbuster season and not Oscar worthy either.
It is also not exactly a chick-flick with – from memory – only one female line (Jodie Whittaker, in flashback) throughout the whole film.
All that being said, on the plus side the moderately feel-good ending is quite innovative and surprising: I didn't see it coming.
Not a film that I will be hunting out on DVD, but not bad for a diverting rainy afternoon viewing.
Fad Rating: FFF.

Left-back Marc Burch experienced a unique milestone in his recovery process from bilateral sports hernia surgery at Minnesota United practice Wednesday.
"I just sneezed out there. It was the first time I could sneeze in, like, a year without hurting," Burch said. "So that's nice."
The defender has been out since his June 20 operation but has struggled with groin injuries since his March 31 trade to United from the Colorado Rapids. Burch said the injury has actually been off and on for about a year. Coming to the Loons and training hard on turf at the National Sports Center's indoor facility for his first few weeks with the club made the injury worse.
Burch was mostly able to play through it, starting and playing nine matches for 783 minutes. But he said he eventually just felt like it was the best option to take care of the lingering injury for good with the surgery.
After rehabbing on the sidelines, the 33-year-old rejoined full practices with the team last week. While his body still feels like it is in preseason mode with the typical muscle soreness of returning to match fitness, in general Burch said he feels "way better."
"Injury takes a toll mentally, just because you're away from the guys a lot, not competing, not having fun, not getting all the laughs and smiles," Burch said. "It's just hard work in the gym and then it's hard work running, and you see guys in the locker room for a minute and then it's, like, it's over. So that was a tough two months for me. But it's nice to be out here this week."
Burch added that he is just looking forward to continuing to become healthier. Whether he will be available for the 7 p.m. Sunday match at the Seattle Sounders FC is still to be determined.
Other notes: Forward Christian Ramirez trained separately again Wednesday, still recovering from his hamstring injury. Midfielder Sam Cronin also watched from the sidelines after missing Tuesday's practice because of a slight injury he endured in Monday's session.

Patio. Friday , January 12th , 2018 - 21:01:40 PM
Even if your patio is a tiny enclosed deck only large enough to accommodate your family, you still need to have a patio table where you can sit down and relax with your family or by yourself. Larger areas can have longer patio tables with more seating and wider umbrellas over them.
Finding the ideal patio furniture that feels good and looks great is the goal here. Remember that you are making a purchase that you will live with for a very long time. It is important for you to take many things into consideration as you make your purchase decisions. What patio furniture will complement the site the best? How do I want to use the patio furniture? Will it be mainly for relaxing, eating, entertainment? How many people do I want to seat? How long will the patio furniture need to last? How much maintenance will be required? How much do I want to pay to get the best patio furniture for my money?
Cut to another view. A neat, plush black leather sofa set inviting you to just sink into its depths. Promising to envelope you in comfort the moment you decide to settle into it. A dining set including an etched glass top dining table covered with a handsome , with smart looking, matching dining chairs to complement its beauty. A neat bar in the corner sporting all the latest and exquisite labels. Matching curtains to complement the entire set of the living room. What comes to mind? Obviously someone who doesn't like to take things lightly. A perfectionist who would go out of his way to achieve that special something. Comfort matters to this man, but class is equally important. And we haven't even entered the bedroom yet.

Lawsuit asks San Diego to clean La Jolla neighborhood
December 28 , 2013
The La Jolla neighborhood in San Diego is a great place to go watch sea lions. However, the city is being sued over the unpleasant smell due to the sea lion and bird poop in the region.
Courthouse News reported that a newly formed group called Citizens For Odor Nuisance Abatement filed a suit with the city's Supreme Court and asked for a cleanup. The lawsuit blames the city for erecting a fence along La Jolla Cove, "preventing the public from accessing the rocks.. (which) gradually led to a buildup of excrement."
Reports suggest that the group is only looking to get the attention of the city instead of compensation. A rep for the interim mayor mentioned that they are currently looking to solve the odor issue.

Of course sites much like the Delighted Environment and The City Lights are prolonged long gone however the snakes remain in the Snake Temple and therefore are as dozy as ever(I can prove it).

We still left in 1977, but Luckily photos, property movies and slides have been each of the rage and my moms and dads experienced hundreds.

This summer I made the trek to DriversFest 2000, the annual VW-hosted show. My going there came up by chance, actually. You see, I got married last July, and our honeymoon was planned for a cross-country road trip (something I've always wanted to do) to California. Then I get this letter in the mail from Volkswagen telling me about DriversFest in... Anaheim, California. Right smack in the middle of my trip, no less! We left town about 4:00 pm, and drove straight to Boulder, Colorado. The easy (and normal) route from there is to stay on I-70 to I-15 to Los Angeles. That�s no fun. We took I-50 through Nevada instead. Never heard of it? They have a sign that says �The Loneliest Road in America�. There�s Ely on the East edge, Reno at the West side, and one dilapidated gas station in the middle. It rained, believe it or not, and we saw a tumbleweed or two tumble by. We even saw herds of wild cattle roaming around! On to California�
One of the many Californian places we visited on the way was Laguna Seca Raceway. This was also a first for me; it was my first visit to a real professional racetrack. It took awhile for me to find it because of a lousy map I printed off of the Internet. You have to drive up a steep mountainside to get to the track, and once we got over it was a sight to see! There were no races scheduled while I was around (sniff) but I did see the Skip Barber racing school driving around the track.
On the way to Los Angeles, we drove down Highway 1. It was beautiful, scenic, and a bit scary. Going South, the mountains sky to your immediate left. To your right, the ocean resides about 100 feet down the edge of the cliff. And the road twists and turns the whole way. Again, gas stations are few and far between. We paid $2.60 a gallon in Big Sur, (that was not high-octane, by the way) and we ate at a quaint little restaurant overlooking the ocean. Going through Santa Barbara, New Beetles and Porsche Boxters are a dime-a-dozen.
Finally, DriversFest... They had just about everything there to see and do. Live music all day, various tents set up with all kinds of things to do - you could take a survey on what you thought of VW's marketing strategy, check out the new Trek bikes, get your picture taken with a VW and put in a key chain for free, and more. Remember that Golf ad where they tie the mattress to the car at the stoplight? You could do that, and they'd time you. You could test drive any new VW on an autocross style track, and even get a ride in a Beetle Cup Racer! They even had electric Golf slot car races. I won my race, by the way! I signed up for the VW Club, and got a free key chain and a VW Club CD case. After the show, the Barenaked Ladies performed inside the arena.
All in all it was a great day, and the highlight of my trip. But, oh, the drive home! Let me tell you, I was not looking forward to it. Except for a traffic jam in the desert (114 F) and a tornado WARNING in Iowa (very scary) the rest of the drive was uneventful. The entire trip took no less than 5,000 miles, but it was worth it. I can�t wait �till next year!

van Steenberge "Monk's Café" Flemish Sour Ale (Belgium) – The sourness here is cherry-esque, and while it's dominant it does not dominate. Fresh and appealing, yet with more than a little seriousness. (4/09)
van Steenberge "Gulden Draak" Ale (Belgium) – Frothy, spicy, and while it's heady by feel, it lacks just a slight bit of substance. This is a quibble, though; the ale's quite fine. (4/09)
van Steenberge "Bormem" Double Abbey Ale (Belgium) – This is a terrible beer. Just awful. (4/09)
van Steenberge "Bormem" Triple Abbey Ale (Belgium) – The only virtue of this over the Dubbel of the same name is that there's more alcohol. Otherwise, it's pretty much worthless. (4/09)
van Steenberge "Augustijn" Ale (Belgium) – Good, straightforward Belgian-ness (octane, sweet spiced stonefruit, etc.), but lacking additional complexity. (4/09)
van Steenberge "Piraat" Abbey Ale (Belgium) – There are some differences between this and the Augustijn, but they're generally unimportant; the beer's largely the same, though with an extra wallop of hoppiness that really doesn't add or detract much. (4/09)

In April 2017, a video of an alleged extrajudicial killing of two gang members went viral. The video shows an alleged plain-clothes police officer shooting a suspected member of the Super Power gang in Nairobi's Eastleigh area. The body of another suspect lies in the middle of the road covered in blood.
Kenyans showed mixed reactions to the shooting. Some supported the shootings while others condemned the killings. Debates on the shootings took prominence in the media and social media. However, as time went by, they faded into obscurity.
Police force and corruption
The media reports cases of (alleged) police officers shooting suspected criminals on a near daily basis. The usual narrative is that the suspect had a gun and the police had to retaliate. Another common narrative is that the cops shot the suspects to prevent them from escaping. These cases have become so common that people now see them as a normal thing.
Yet, we rarely hear about the police being accountable for the shootings in their line of duty. The law provides strict guidelines on the use of firearms by police officers. The National Police Service Act contains these guidelines and is very clear about how police officers should handle their firearms.
A police officer should only result to their firearms in two circumstances:
- to save or protect the life of the officer or another person; and
- to defend themselves or another person against impending threat of life or serious injury.
The circumstances of the shootings in Eastleigh violate these two principles. The killings were extrajudicial, done without the sanction of the law or the courts. When police officers result to such jungle tactics, they set a bad precedent that the law does not matter. That killing with impunity is the way to go.
Extrajudicial killings by police are similar to mob-justice by the public. Both occur outside the law and have no regard for consequences. Those who commit the acts regard themselves as the judge, jury, and executioner. They also signify broken or rotten systems of justice and people's lack of faith in them.
Police force built on a rotten system
For example, in Kenya, we have so many good laws. However, the goodwill to implement these laws is lacking. More so, we have so many good institutional frameworks in theory, but in practice, many of them are rotten and dysfunctional from within. The police force is one of the institutions that annually top the list of the most corrupt institutions in the country.
The corruption of the police force is not only in terms of material things. It is also involves the deterioration of values and ethics. The highest moral and ethical corruption is when a police officer deems it fit to shoot an unarmed suspect in broad daylight.
Extrajudicial killings affect the youth in in low-income areas are the most. These neighborhoods include those of Mathare, Kayole, and Dandora in Nairobi. There is even a Facebook group where alleged police officers using pseudonyms post pictures of criminal suspects they have slain.
The civil society organizes several forums in these neighborhoods to give the affected families a voice. The stories the affected families share are the only voices that they have to express. They only have memories of a loved one shot by a police officer just because the officer took them for a criminal and without subjecting them to the rule of law.
Everyone understands that police officers are human beings. They also have their difficulties and they face danger in their jobs. Criminals, terrorists, and bandits have killed many in the line of duty. Every Kenyan should also care about their lives when they are out there protecting us. Despite that, there is a sense of responsibility that comes with being a police officer.
Police should uphold the law
As Queen Ifrica says in Serve and Protect, only criminal elements alone hate the law. When the people are not with you, the criminals applaud. That is why the police need to think first before they draw their guns or shoot. Just as the first duty of any citizen is to support the law, then it is the duty of the police officer to uphold the law.
The law is also very clear that when the use of firearms results in death, serious injury and other grave consequences, the police should report to IPOA. The Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) gives the public a recourse against misconduct or injustices caused by a police officer.
However, the MPs in the National Assembly tried to sneak in amendments into the law to undermine IPOA. The dubious amendments wanted to undermine the authority of IPOA to investigate errant police officers. Even at the moment, IPOA is a toothless bulldog, which just barks but does not seem to bite.
Therefore, it is important to bring sanity to the police force in Kenya for the last time. We only hear about police reforms but the government never puts them into action. It is time to demand these reforms to start working in full.
A police officer should always be sane when doing their work. Being a police officer should be a task that an officer takes seriously to accord each person justice. To end in the words of Queen Ifrica, our police force needs CPR or the wound will end up leaving a scar. Many of us have already faced or seen the scars already.

Annamarie Tendler, who is married to comedian John Mulaney, claims she was groped by actor Ben Affleck.
"I would also love to get an apology from Ben Affleck who grabbed my ass at a Golden Globes party in 2014," Tendler, a makeup artist, tweeted on Wednesday.
Tendler's tweet came after Affleck, 45, apologized to actress Hilarie Burton for acting "inappropriately" toward her when she was a host of MTV's TRL in 2003.
"He walked by me, cupped my butt and pressed his finger into...
