Like or hate him, Mallam Nasir Ahmad El Rufai is a man that generates controversial heat every time he speaks or writes. In this excerpt culled from one of his bestsellers – 'The Accidental Public Servant,' the incumbent governor of Kaduna State bares his mind on the humble beginning he had, the feeling of getting his first shoes at age 6 and his father's final words before answering the call of his creator.
As a child, when I first conceived of the idea of what I might want to be when I grow up, my role model at the time was the single native authority policeman in my village of Daudawa, in Katsina State. What called my attention to him was the uniform.
The first time I ever saw a thief was when the policeman, passing through the village, single-handedly apprehended him as he was breaking into people's houses to steal their belongings. My admiration for his valour made me fall in love with the job and the uniform.
Then at about the age of six I was circumcised and I met the village doctor. He was not actually a doctor, but a paramedic, yet he looked so clean and professional in his crisp, clean and starched white uniform, and was so kind, that I believed I had to be a doctor when I grew up. As I grew a little older, I realized that the agricultural officer who was the head of the local agricultural settlement and who lived in the Daudawa Government Reservation Area (GRA) was not only my father's boss, but the most important man in town.
So then I wanted to be an agricultural officer, and then at the outbreak of the civil war that saw two of my brothers join the army, and another the air force, I thought of joining the armed forces. This series of aspirations and adjustments remained a regular feature of my youth, and I guess, is typical of most people of my generation. What I did not realize then was that it would be assignments, never sought for, rather than ambition that would define my private and public life.
There were other public service and government figures featuring somewhat prominently in my upbringing, but what loomed even larger was the fact of growing up poor. We were many children under my father's roof in Daudawa – eight siblings growing up together and six other siblings that had grown up and gone on to establish their own families. The first time I got a 'hand-me-down' pair of shoes was when I was six years old. I got my own first pair of new shoes when I was eight. Until today, I feel more comfortable barefooted than in socks and shoes!
As a result of these privations, I was driven to achieve financial independence as quickly as I could.
In an environment of poverty, one learns quickly that financial independence is essential to preserving one's dignity.
Another seminal event from that period of my life was the death of my father, which also occurred when I was about eight years old. His final words to me were about the importance of education, specifically that my success in life would be determined by how seriously I pursued knowledge. So I worked hard and took my studies seriously because I was led by my father to believe that it would be the key to preserving one's dignity and self-respect.
On the way to achieving that goal, a path that initially led me into the private sector as a consulting quantity surveyor, a funny thing happened. I realized that in order for the private sector to flourish, the public sector needed a certain minimum level of functionality. What made this thinking novel to me was that for the longest time, like others aspiring to middle-class status in Nigeria, I thought that if I just made enough money, I could buy all the things I needed. If the public electricity supply was inefficient, I would just buy a diesel-powered generator. If the public water supply was not working, I would simply construct my own household borehole and install a water treatment plant.
However there came a point when I realized that even if one had those, one cannot build one's own gasoline refinery. When one woke up one morning, as we did in 1996, to find that all of a sudden there was no gasoline for the electric generator and the cars – and this, in a country that was the ninth largest exporter of crude oil in the world – a whole new level of thinking became inevitable.
Twice before getting to that point, I had declined invitations in 1989 and 1991 to work in the public service of my state of residence – Kaduna. Once I came to this point of realization however, I made up my mind that if I got another opportunity to work in the public sector, I would not only accept, but would do nothing but my very best.
As it turned out, the very attributes that drove me to be financially independent early in life — my dedication to ongoing study and education, and honesty not just in dealing with others but also with myself — were the same attributes that ultimately earned me the invitation to public service at the national level.
Culled from El Rufai's "The Accidental Public Servant"

I had great fun photographing Zainab and David! A lovely couple and a wonderful day!
Check out my official wedding page gallery on the link above. I look forward to hearing from you.
Due to the style of the Mansion house and its gardens, with lots of hidden spots and grand décor, it has numerous focal points to give your photographer inspiration. It was really wonderful to see the Penguins and Panda's through out the day! Really amazing for creative and different styles of photography

St. Anthony's Jonathan Harewood, Tyrone Lyons Jr. commit to colleges
Harewood accepted a full scholarship to play point guard for Gannon University, while Lyons accepted a full scholarship to play small forward for North Carolina A&T.
Jonathan Harewood and Tyrone Lyons Jr. both transferred into the St. Anthony's boys basketball program three years ago. They agreed it was the best move of their lives. Harewood of Huntington and Lyons of Amityville won CHSAA basketball titles in their sophomore and senior seasons with the Friars.
Now both will take their respective games to the next level on the college stage. Harewood, a Newsday All-Long Island selection, accepted a full scholarship to play point guard for Gannon University in Erie, Pennsylvania. Lyons., a second team Newsday selection, accepted a full scholarship to play small forward for North Carolina A&T in Greensboro.
"I'm honored and excited to play at Gannon," said Harewood, who averaged 15 points and five steals per game this year. "It's a relief that the process is over. I felt so comfortable and felt such a good vibe with the coaching staff. It's great to be appreciated and I'm looking forward to the next challenge."
Lyons, who was a force underneath the basket during the Friars' run to the title, averaged 14 points, nine rebounds and three blocks per game. He was approached during the summer by former Amityville coach Jack Agostino and invited to North Carolina A&T for a visit.
"The coach said he loved my game and I fell in love with the campus," Lyons said. "The school is located in the suburbs but very close to the city. They made me feel like part of the family and they already had a weight lifting program for me at the school. I loved it."

This week, we are getting:
Green Bell Peppers – My Father's Farm
Butternut Squash – Massey
Limes or Lemons – G&S
Basil or Chives – Various
Italian Cucumbers – Tecolote
Eggplant – Animal Farm
Gala Apples – Bat Creek
Arugula or Lettuce – Bluebonnet
Okra – Tecolote
Sprouts or Peas
So I'm making:
Creamy butternut squash and apple soup
Eggplant-pepper tomato sauce – Will serve over grilled chicken and pasta. Use chives here if you don't get basil – it'll taste fine.
Okra sauteed with peas and lemon or lime juice – I did this tonight with black-eyed peas and it was great. Either lemon or lime juice would work here.
Citrus-grilled shrimp over greens – I like this recipe because you can make a lot of substitutions depending on what you get. Add sprouts if you get them, and use lemon juice instead of lime juice if that's what you have. Basil or chives would work, too. The cucumbers would be good here, and any extras you have can go in lunch salads for the week.

|chamomile and lavender
Besides my periodic addiction to good Earl Grey tea from Nectar Fine Teas in West Village, I generally stick with organic locally grown herbs from Judy at www.earthmedicine.ca which I steep into a tea. I find the loose dried herbs produce much better results both in their taste profile and as healing agents. Usually, the tea coming in a bag contains the lowest grade, poor quality dust from the bottom of the bin; not useful for true health enhancement. The same goes for black teas.
Herbal teas are an excellent choice as a hot drink, but they are also very tasty iced on a hot summer day.
Using herbal tea as a hydrating mist for your skin may not be so obvious but is worth a try as it often proves much more beneficial than many commercial toners.
Lavender;who does not love the smell of lavender? This lovely flower tastes the best mixed with other herbs like chamomile and rose.
General directions for making a light herbal face mist:
1 tsp. of lavender (or any other herb you are using)
1 cup of hot water
let it steep for 15min
cool it down
transport into a spray bottle
place in the fridge
mist your face as needed
It will not keep for longer than a day or two (if stored in the fridge) so you have a couple of options: make enough for one day or make more and freeze it (ice cube trays do the trick) and take out as much as you need on a given day.
Chamomile is another great herb for beautifying skin. This one is particularly great for ladies with sensitive skin.
It is calming and soothing taken both internally and applied externally as a mist. In the summer you may want to drink it iced with a slice of lemon; it is delish!
Burdock root is a serious skin helper. It is excellent for detoxification purposes so drink it if you are troubled by acne and blackheads. It will purify your blood and keep your skin nice and clean:))
|burdock root
Burdock root can be taken as a tea 1/2 cup before your meals. Your skin will benefit greatly if washed with burdock tea 2x a day.
These are just simple suggestions on how you can use herbal teas, of course you can use them in many other ways. Add them to home made face masks or to your bath... They are beautiful, healing and definitely much needed in your daily life. Start playing!

Nice technique, I am currently trying to paint in a similar way, but my trees fall far short of yours Alwyn. However, I am on the case and this video will help with my final efforts. It is easier than you think, but to achieve your standard of excellence, it is harder than you think!
Alwyn Crawshaw: Learning To Paint With Acrylics
Alwyn offers complete peace of mind with his skills in acrylics. This tutorial guides you through his techniques including the ability to fill in, detailing in the foreground, and the use of a thickening medium to make his acrylics more malleable. He talks of brush strokes also and where and when they should be used for specific areas of the painting. Follow his techniques and expert advice closely and you're sure to learn a thing or two.

Yes, a 2 pack
Oud Bruin Style Ale
From Dave (the Other Guy): Hard to remember the last time I drank an Oud Bruin, or Flanders brown. As this project progressed, we realized our blend was going to essentially be an Oud Bruin other than unconventionally using the young beer to provide the acidity rather than the aged component. So prior to blending, I picked up a La Folie from New Belgium. It was transcendent and set an upsettingly high bar. The feeling of inadequacy lasted until tasting our final blend. Staveyard came out just as we hoped with multiple balancing layers of complexity integrating malty sweetness, rounded acidity, honey oxidation, and wood tannins with light mahogany hues. We even added the bubbles! The final beer is a blend of batch lactobacillus soured, malty young ale and biere de garde aged in neutral oak barrels for 50 weeks. Multiple complex layers integrate malty sweetness, rounded acidity, sweet honey oxidation, and wood tannins with light mahogany hues.

In a first for the UK legal system, our medical negligence solicitors have helped a woman claim compensation for the costs of surrogacy after cancer misdiagnosis left her unable to have children herself.
'XX' was first tested for cervical cancer in December 2008. The test came back negative but she experienced symptoms of the disease and returned to the colposcopy clinic multiple times in the following years for further checks. Later tests also came back negative and XX's symptoms were dismissed as her being neurotic.
In 2013, however, XX was finally diagnosed with cervical cancer. The diagnosis prompted a review of all her previous tests, which found that every sample taken between 2008 and 2013 had been incorrectly or insufficiently reported. The clinic had failed to diagnose XX's cancer for five years.
At this late stage, doctors advised XX that chemo-radiotherapy was essential but would make her infertile. She had always wanted a family of four and sought second and third opinions from other oncologists.
Unfortunately they confirmed that there was no other option so XX had eggs harvested before starting the treatment. As well as the infertility, XX also suffered radiation damage to her bladder, bowel and vagina and suffers on-going daily symptoms as a result.
XX asked our medical negligence lawyers to investigate the treatment she had recently at the colposcopy clinic from Whittington Hospital NHS Trust. The Trust admitted liability for XX's delayed diagnosis in March 2016 and a trial to assess how much compensation she deserved took place in June 2017.
Since the Trust's negligence had left XX infertile, we argued that they should cover the costs of surrogacy that XX now faced in order to fulfil her dream of having a family.
After her experiences in the NHS, XX didn't feel that she could cope with the uncertainty and lack of legal framework involved with surrogacy in the UK. Instead, she wanted to access surrogacy in the US, where surrogates are properly vetted, properly paid and have their medical expenses covered. The Californian system also provides extra legal security as XX and her partner could become legal parents of the child with a pre-birth parental order.
Surrogacy laws in UK are complicated and the last similar case of claiming medical negligence compensation for surrogacy costs was in 2002. That time, the Court of Appeal ruled against granting compensation.
Unfortunately XX's case was denied the cost of US surrogacy on the basis of that previous decision. However – for the first time in UK law – the Judge did award XX the costs of pursuing surrogacy for two children in the UK.
Anne Kavanagh, a specialist medical negligence solicitor from our London office, represented XX. She said:
"This was a case where multiple failings by the Trust led to our client facing infertility and lifelong pelvic radiation injuries at the age of 30. Her only means of achieving a family is through surrogacy either in the UK or the US.
"The impact of this was devastating for her but she has held on to the prospect that however complicated, she could regain the life she had expected if she could pursue surrogacy to have her family."

About Entrophy
Who We Are
Entrophy formed as a band in late '94, and has been spewing out their own brand of snotty pogo punk ever since. They are currently a four piece operation, with Roach McKrackin on Vocals & Guitar, Juston Speed on bass, Ludwig on drums and Master Nate… We're not exactly sure what it is he does, but when we find out we'll be sure to add it in here…
Roach and Juston share the song writing duties, and they have spread their gospel of tacky punk rock clichés, drinking & obnoxiousness while playing live shows up and down the entire East Coast, including Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Vermont, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, New York, Delaware, North Carolina and Florida.
Entrophy currently has three releases to their name: Their homebrew demo CD, "Drinkin' & Other Punk Rock Clichés" showcases their early work, and paved the way for their debut 7", "Whatcha Gonna Do?". This was their first attempt in a professional studio, and the higher recording quality breathes new life into the strongest songs from their illustrious career. It was recorded at Rodent Popsicle Studios in Allston MA, and was produced and engineered by none other then the infamous Toxic Bill Damon. It can be found in many small record shops along the South Shore, as well as some larger chain stores in Boston, including Newbury Comics. Lastly, they have just recently released a CD of collected works entitled "Scabies, Lice & Everything Nice…", which features the tracks from "Whatcha Gonna Do?", a few unreleased studio tracks, and live recordings from shows in the New England area.
Besides their own releases, Entrophy has been featured on numerous compilation CDs, including Boston Punk 2000, released on Rodent Popsicle Records, and Reckless Records Vol. 1, released on Reckless Records.

After lunch in Jasper, we drove away from the Buffalo River and headed to the south towards Falling Water Falls. Located in the Ozark National Forest, Falling Water Falls are located along Falling Water Creek. The falls and creek can be reached via the Falling Water Road (of course). The road runs alongside the creek, which flows into Richland Creek. Last year a landslide closed the road a few miles north of Falling Water Falls, which has still not been cleared away.
But the falls are right next to the road, so they are very easy to reach. It hadn't rained in awhile but there was still a nice amount of water in the falls.
It is a very cool waterfall, one of my favorite ones in the state. Falling Water Falls isn't very tall, only ten feet, but it is very photogenic.
The falls empty into a large pool, that is also a popular swimming hole in the summer. Again I was amazed that there weren't other people out there too. When we got there, we had the entire place to ourselves.
There was a lot of debris from the recent ice storm here. The heavy rains we had here last month must have picked up a lot of fallen tree limbs and then deposited them around the base of the falls. Several shots I wanted to take were messed up by wayward branches and limbs that got in the way. It'll probably be like this for awhile until the limbs and branches rot enough that they can get washed downstream. This was one clear view of the falls:
After that we got back in the car and drove north towards one last waterfall - Six Finger Falls...

Local artisans and crafters will offer a wonderful assortment of locally produced holiday gifts to shoppers.
Salt Lake City, Utah (PRWEB) November 22, 2013
Buying local gets an incredible artisan touch at Trolley Square Mall when it hosts the Annual People's Holiday Market. The 7th Annual Holiday Market will take place December 14th and 21st at Trolley Square Mall in Salt Lake City on the upper level near Desert Edge Brewery and The Old Spaghetti Factory. Hours are 12 noon to 8 p.m. both days.
Local artisans and crafters will offer a wonderful assortment of locally produced holiday gifts to shoppers.

Many of the vendors accept credit and debit cards to make holiday shopping easier. The public is invited to shop the beautiful selection at the Holiday Market, and enjoy the holiday atmosphere of both the market and the Trolley Square Mall.
Shoppers can enjoy beautiful music, free candy canes for the children, and general holiday cheer while they browse the wide selection of artisan goods, many of them locally produced and all sold by local companies. The annual event has grown in popularity, and vendor slots sell out early every year. Over 50 vendors will offer an eclectic mix of goods at this year's Holiday Market.
The Holiday Market is committed to the 'Buy Local' message to strengthen the local economy and keep more holiday purchase dollars here.

It's not just about technology – training for search managers is vital

He was kind enough to ask me to join a recent podcast which you can listen to Continue reading

How to build a search relevance team
We've spent a lot of time working with clients who recognise that their search engine isn't delivering relevant results to users. Often this is seen as solely a technical problem, which can be resolved simply by changing query parameters or the search engine configuration - but technical teams need clear direction on why a result should or should not appear at a certain position, not just request for general relevance improvements. It's thus important to consider relevance as...Continue reading
Better performance with the Logstash DNS filter
We've been working on a project for a customer which uses Logstash to read messages from Kafka and write them to Elasticsearch. It also parses the messages into fields, and depending on the content type does DNS lookups (both forward and reverse.) While performance testing I noticed that adding caching to the Logstash DNS filter actually reduced performance, contrary to expectations. With four filter worker threads, and the following configuration:
dns { resolve => [ ...Continue reading
Elasticsearch, Kibana and duplicate keys in JSON
JSON has been the lingua franca of data exchange for many years. It's human-readable, lightweight and widely supported. However, the JSON spec does not define what parsers should do when they encounter a duplicate key in an object, e.g.:
{ "foo": "spam", "foo": "eggs", ... }Implementations are free to interpret this how they like. When different systems have different interpretations this can cause problems. We recently encounter...Continue reading

Nestled on a hillside 20 miles north of San Francisco, historic San Anselmo would not look out of place in the European countryside. This picturesque Marin County community is also located squarely within the most expensive rental market in the country, putting seniors in particular at a disadvantage. This modular in-fill project at One Lincoln Park will turn a vacant lot into much-needed housing for local seniors.
One Lincoln Park is a small, grassy lot tucked between commercial developments and single-family homes on a sloping hillside. When complete, the complex will feature 16 one-bedroom apartments for seniors, at least two of which will be reserved for low-income residents. With its future residents in mind, the design of One Lincoln Park includes elevator access to second- and third-floor units and extra accessible spaces in the ground floor parking garage.
The complex at One Lincoln Park is well-suited for modular for a few key reasons. By utilizing off-site construction techniques, neighbors in this residential area will experience less noise and traffic than compared to traditional construction. Modular offers a more cost-effective building experience, making it ideal for senior communities and similar projects. And modular construction can be advantageous when working with small or unique site footprints, such as One Lincoln Park where the sloped lot is effectively inaccessible from three sides.
Prefab Logic is the modular consultant of record for One Lincoln Park. Prefab Logic is the key driver of the modular process, giving all stakeholders peace of mind by serving as modular project manager from start to finish. Prefab Logic uses its vast network of resources to ensure every project is delivered on time, on budget, and with the utmost attention to quality.
Based in the Pacific Northwest, Prefab Logic operates throughout the US, and around the globe.

Situation 'Dire': Low Coho Salmon Returns Close Quinault Fisheries
by Indian Country Today, Oct 29, 2015
Low returns of wild coho salmon are prompting the Quinault Indian Nation to close all its fisheries in Grays Harbor and Queets River and to declare an economic disaster because of the resulting hardship on fishermen and their families.
The tribe attributed the low returns to the so-called Godzilla El Niño that is under way in the Pacific, exacerbated by a "blob of warm water off the coast," the Quinault said in a statement describing what it called a dire situation. Read the rest of this entry

The Battle for 1st place in the division...Who will win?Continue
Harry J. Frank has not received any gifts yet
Good day,
I picked interest on you after going through your short profile and demand it necessary to write you immediately. I have something very vital to disclose to you, but I found it difficult to express myself here, since it's a public site.Could you please get back to me on (firstname.lastname@example.com) for the full details.
Have a nice day.
Mr. Tidiane.
U guys called out Liberty City who plays in Pop Warner this is how they play period but their 120s or every pound can be older than urs & Pasadena team. I highly doubt u have a bunch of kids who turn 12 at the end of the year who r making a serious impact on dat team. C'mon man with dat. Give credit where credit is do. Next y'all be telling me y'all was small when u know u had kids weighing at the max weight 126 but u call ur team a 110 team. (lol) Who u won play AYFL 110s who r 11&10 with late birthdays? So, dat would be fair? U would be according to ur way of thinking damn near 2 years older than my kids who could be 10 n heavy or just turning 11 in August when ur 12 all year going on 13. Plus u would be way older than my kid who turns 12 in November not to mention way HEAVIER.
Harry, it is still a 4 month maximum advantage between the oldest kid on their team n urs. That is a fact! Our kids r 12 in January just like Da Ravens with our kids being able to turn 13 in September which would give them a maximum 4 month advantage on ur oldest kid! Pasadena has kids that turn 12 during the year n kids who r 11 all year but r too heavy to play down which is normal with every team in every league.

While the government reels under severe criticism for not taking adequate measures to open a few sectors to foreign direct investment (FDI), hurting the sentiment of foreign investors, the inflow into the country in the last financial year belies these comments.
In 2011-12, FDI rose 34.4 per cent to $46.84 billion, compared with $34.84 billion in 2010-11 and $37.74 billion in 2009-10, according to data from the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion.
Experts say the rise in FDI inflows is due to the fact that India remains a preferred investment destination, but this trend may not continue for long and moderation may take place this financial year. This is because there was less negative news from across the globe at the beginning of the previous financial year, compared to the current one.
"The rise in FDI equity inflows in the previous financial year, compared to the one earlier, was because of some big-ticket deals, especially in the chemical and oil & gas segments. Besides, strategic and financial investors continue to evaluate and explore opportunities in both greenfield and brownfield sectors," said Akash Gupta, executive director (regulatory services), PricewaterhouseCoopers. He, however, added the momentum might not continue, as currently, the global economic environment remained subdued and uncertain, and capital was scarce.
"Due to limited availability of long-term capital, interest rates have peaked and inflation remains at an all-time high. Under such circumstances, attracting foreign investment for any country remains a challenge. Investors would not want to commit large capital investments. They would, instead, tend to park these in asset classes with low-risk sectors," Gupta said.
N R Bhanumurthy, economist, National Institute of Public Finance and Policy, said, "It is true FDI inflows have seen a tremendous rise in the last financial year. This is one indicator that still supports the argument that the macro fundamentals in India are strong, despite a so-called 'policy paralysis'. In other words, India's long-term outlook is strong, though in the short term, there is some erosion of confidence, which is visible in the outflow of short-term foreign capital. The first half of 2011-12 was much better compared to the second, when all the negative factors had smoothened FDI inflows to some extent."
He added 2011-12 had started on a positive note, with many agencies forecasting a growth of about nine per cent. The Union Budget had also proposed to achieve a better fiscal deficit than that targeted by the 13th Finance Commission.
"Going forward, India may not attract as much FDI as that in FY12 because of the worsening crisis in the euro zone, the subdued investor sentiment and the decision to relook at Mauritius as the biggest source of FDI. Besides, recent decisions on tax laws in the Budget would hamper investor sentiment in the short term," he said.
Experts said this year, the government would focus on attracting foreign institutional investors to arrest the depreciation of the rupee against the dollar, due to which FDI equity inflows might not get the necessary push, unless large-scale reforms in multi-brand retail and aviation take place.
Rajiv Kumar of the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry said while standalone FDI inflows were increasing, capital inflows were not as robust. He also pointed to the decline in the share of foreign direct investment, as a proportion of gross fixed capital formation (GFCF). The ratio of FDI to GFCF stood at about three per cent in 2003-04, which rose to 10 per cent in 2008-09. It stood at about 5.9 per cent in 2010-11. However, in 2011-12, the ratio rose to 12.43 per cent.
According to Ved Jain, chairman of the Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry's national council on direct taxes, about 56 per cent of foreign investment into India comes from Mauritius, Singapore and Cyprus. This could be severely hit, he said.

Two enterprising young men have taken to providing toilet facilities in a bid to bring food to the table and pay the bills.
The duo, Tati Siding Village natives, Lesego Makwinja and Iponeng Koolopile, both aged 28, run the Francistown Rank public toilets and insist making a living from crap and urine is as good a job as any.
"The idea of going into whatever job or business is to make money and pay the bills. We are doing that here and also providing a much needed service to the public and our environment," says Makwinja.
The duo successfully tendered to run the council-owned toilets, taking up the role this April Fools' Day.
The facilities, which are well maintained and clean, include four toilets for men and another four for women.
The pair do all the dirty work themselves, as Makwinja explains, telling Voice Money, "Cleaning is the heaviest part of the job. At the moment we do that ourselves but have plans to hire as the business grows."
At the cost of Two Pula, one gets the chance to use the toilets and is also provided with tissue to use.
Whilst he would not give a figure as to how much revenue the business generates on an average day, Makwinja said it was 'enough to make a living'.
Quizzed on the challenges they face, Makwinja says they have to deal with customers who still feel that the toilets should be used for free as they belong to the City Council.
"Some use our facilities and refuse to pay. We try to reason with them and most end up understanding and paying. In a few cases we have had to seek help from the cops. At times we simply let such people go," he says.
On another note Makwinja says they have managed to learn to live with those who tell them off for being involved in the unglamorous, and often messy and smelly business at such young ages.
"We get a lot of flak from members of the public, especially those who know us but we have learnt to live with that. Our goal is to make a living in an honest way and nothing will derail us.
"I would advise any person who has found a way to make a living to pursue it and ignore all the negative talk. Remember those laughing at you will not give you any money and will probably laugh loudest at you when you are broke and can't pay the bills," says Makwinja defiantly.
Makwinja feels business would improve once men stop emptying their loins in the bush. "Business could be better if men stopped peeing in the bush across the railway line.
"Authorities should enforce the laws that make using the bush to relieve one's self an offence. Punishing those who violate such laws would not only help businesses such as ours but protect the environment as well," he adds, pointing out that the strong, unpleasant urine smell emanating from across the railway line is offensive and a possible health hazard that should be addressed swiftly.
Makwinja and his media shy partner have plans to grow their business and create jobs for others.
"Our dream is to run as many toilet facilities as possible in the future. It's a good business which has great potential," the young entrepreneur tells Voice Money with a knowing smile.

Basics Of Commercial Leasing
Generally under the case of a lease, the landlord himself remains the legal owner of the leased land, but he agrees to give most of the rights that come under ownership to the tenant so that he can make use of them for a specific period of time.
It is a lease only which sets out the terms and conditions upon which all this is done. When we talk regarding land for lease, the landlord is often referred to as the "lessor" and the tenant is often referred to as the "lessee".
Image Source: Google
While the law may recognize some leases if they are not in writing, writing is normally required and is considered as desirable in order to give certainty to the terms.
Now, in this article we will be discussing as to what are the basic elements which a commercial land lease should cover:
A lease related to commercial land should deal with the following things at least:
Image Source: Google
- A proper description related to the entire premises
- the duration/term of the lease
- Whether or not the lease can be renewed
- the amount of rent must be specifically mentioned
- how the rent will be reviewed either during the term of the lease or on its renewal
- how the premises will be used
- Who will pay for any fit-out and its removal at the end of the lease term
- Anything related to alterations or building work
- Anything specific to repairs as well as insurance
- Mention of the security the landlord will be requiring
- Everything related to the rights to terminate
- What will happen on the termination
- All the essential terms of the lease
- Terms and conditions related to breach of the lease etc.
Further, If the leased land is sold before the end of the term of the commercial lease, the tenant will require that the new owner should honor the lease.

Different Type Of Swimming Pool Enclosure
One major Problem that many owners of swimming pool face is not able to use their pool throughout the year. Anyone living in a four-season climate will find too cold for swimming in winters, even in the heated pool.
It is possible to heat up the pool's water to a suitable bathing level but the outdoor weather makes getting into or out of the pool a "chilling" experience.
Three major key of concern for anyone owning a swimming pool:*
- Keeping the pool clean
- Maximizing the period of use
- Keeping heating cost as low as possible
Image Source:Google
There are various ways for achieving above mention objectives. They can range from pool covers and solar heating to floating solar rings.
Even there is some kind of covers that offers sufficient space to allow swimming beneath it.
Swimming pool enclosures differ from the covers and protect the area. They also allow swimming and bathing to take place while the enclosure is in a covered position.
Image Source:Google
The three main options for swimming pool enclosure are:-
- The first is a temporary inflatable cover that can be erected and then removed each time when the pool is used. This type of cover, typically a pool dome, is secured around the perimeter of the pool. You can use a convection heater to pump warm water into the dome. This type of heater is suitable to be used on cooler summer days where the air temperature is cooler, but not cold.
- The second type is telescopic enclosure. These enclosures are metal framed with security glass. They are better suited for use in cooler spring or summer day. Telescopic pools have motor and remote operation.
- The third option is pool house; this is the only one that genuinely offers the opportunity to use the pool 365 days, irrespective of outer condition.

Why There Is A Need To Install Window Blinds?
Window blinds can be used anywhere in homes, offices, individual rooms and outside areas. Blinds save you and your home materials from the heat and moisture. There are a variety of types of window blinds available from where you can choose the one you like the best.
Below are some of the reasons to install window blinds:
Protection of your home
The sliding blinds Sydney providers offer high-class blinds that help in keeping out the heat. It is also a excellent protection for your home furnishings as it blocks the sun, rain and other environmental elements. Wooden furniture easily gets faded and warmth and electronic appliances become damaged as a result of the moisture. So, it's always helpful to install window blinds.
Brightness and Shade is controlled
Using dividers, only a tiny quantity of light enters your room. Especially, Venetian blinds are considered the very best to control the brightness. The indoor roller blinds control the brightness, shading, heat levels, etc..
Sunscreen rollers allow light to enter your home without damaging your furniture. You need not worry about the blind cleaning since the blind cleaning Utah businesses offer cleaning services too.
Curtains and Blinds
It's true that drapes cover your windows well but because of the wind, the curtains are easily dismissed apart which leave your windows vulnerable. So, the perfect alternative is to combine blinds and curtains because the opening and closing of the curtain will not influence your window area and install the blinds to the sides and at the bottom of the window will make it more resistant to the end.
By using the dividers, your room becomes shielded. This is highly beneficial for rooms with large window areas which empowers the people to view your room from the outside. Superb privacy is supplied by both Venetian and roller blind designs and your space is totally blocked from public view with the installation of blackout rollers.
So, if you are thinking of decorating your home, none other than blinds is a good alternative for your home windows. It is also possible to visit this site to know more about the window blinds.

All About Slate Roofing
Slate may be defined as a fine-grained, homogeneous metamorphic rock derived from an original shale-type sedimentary rock which is composed of either clay or volcanic ash. It is one of the finest grained exfoliated metamorphic rocks.
Slate Roofing may be defined as the process of covering a roof with slate. To know more about slate roofing in detail, you may refer to https://www.slateroofingaustralia.com.au/ .

If you have decided to undertake slate roofing for your home, then here are some things that you need to have ready. Here we will be discussing the various important issues which are involved in the process of slate roofing. To learn about it in detail, you may check it out.
- Firstly, in order to undertake roof slating, it is important to verify that the roof has a slope ratio which is more than 4:12. i.e. the slope should have a rise of 4 feet on a run of 12 feet.
- Roofing Tools
There are some standard tools for slate roofing which include a slate ripper, cutter and a slate hammer.
To avoid ending up with slates which have a square edge, you should avoid using a diamond saw. Instead, you should prefer sticking to the slate cutter which gives a nice finish.

- Other Materials
Slate roofing generally uses nails in large quantities. So, one should prefer to use nails which are made up of aluminium or stainless steel. This is because they do not rust as compared to iron nails.
Further, If you live in an area with bad weather conditions then copper nails are the ones that would go the best.
The length of the nail is of great importance when it comes to slate roofing.
This is because the nails should go only deep enough into the roof deck. Anything in excess, may cause damage to the wooden boards.
Apart from nails, there will be requirement of decking items as well. Since they are supposed to go below the slates, they should match the length of the slates bought by you.

But now, thanks to the seemingly tireless efforts of an all-volunteer modding team called the ClanCore Development Group, we're finally getting an official sequel to Starsiege. Titled Starsiege 2845, this new game will be a total conversion of the upcoming Tribes: Vengeance. Rather than taking the route of most modders and focusing solely on new multiplayer content, the ClanCore folks will be also be including a substantial story-based campaign written by the former Starsiege and Tribes writer Blake Hutchins.
For those who aren't familiar with this franchise, it began ten years ago with a title called Earthsiege. It told the story of a conflict between humanity and the Cybrids. The concept is similar to FASA's Battletech franchise, whose most recent installment, MechAssault, was released for the Xbox two years ago; humans fight against one another from the cockpits of giant robotic weapon platforms. But Starsiege 2845 will go a step farther and add lots of other vehicles and infantry classes to the mix.
At the recent TribalWar event down in Southern California, we had the chance to meet with some of the guys behind the mod . The new game takes place 13 years after the end of the original Starsiege. Prometheus, the Cybrid-mother that brought the war to humanity, has died after a war and the Cybrid offspring split into two camps: those who want to kill all humans and those who want to separate themselves from humanity. The humans take advantage of the chaos caused by the death of Prometheus--and take advantage of caches of alien technology discovered on Mars and Pluto, to confront and finally eliminate the Cybrid menace.
Balanced against the threat of the Cybrids are two factions of humans--the Imperials and Colonials. The Colonials split from the Empire when the Emperor proclaimed that all Imperial resources would be used solely for the defense of Earth. Eventually sensing that they must work together to repel the Cybrid attacks, the Colonials and Imperials have finally cultivated a sense of cooperation, but old enmities die hard.
The single player game follows three different characters through to a number of possible endings. Players will be able to assume the identity of the son of a colonial hunter or two Imperial knights -- one the daughter of a ranking officer, the other of more obscure origins. Obviously, the single player game won't allow you to play from the Cybrid side.
The mecha in the game are giant, building-sized machines, capable of dishing out staggering levels of firepower. Though you can't see the reference in any of the screens we currently have, human-sized models barely come up to the knees of some of the game's bigger mecha. The weapons they carry on their chassis are generally the size of trucks. You can customize these mecha in a number of different ways by adding various components. You may want a slightly more advanced computer or sensors, but you may find yourself giving up a bit or armor or energy shielding to make room for them.

KZN Alpha Director, Sam Uys, interviewed Father Brett, Parish Priest at St Joseph's Morningside in Durban
How did you first come across Alpha?
I had heard and knew about Alpha for a long time. As a younger person I remember when my brother who lived in England and went to church in England, married an English girl, and they did the Alpha Pre Marriage course at Holy Trinity Brompton. So I'd heard of it in the background, I never myself attended. Then you got in contact with me sometime ago and met with myself, the Cardinal, and Father Grant, and then that invitation out of the blue to go to the leadership conference in London in 2017. That was really my first big experience of Alpha. When I came back I reflected on it, I realised that it was a powerful moment for me and it reminded me of why I become a priest and I realised that all the things of sorting parishes out and making sure they run ok was very maintenance orientated and that's not what I had given my life for the priesthood for, it's not why I had entered the seminary. It was to bring people to Jesus. Alpha reminded me of that. That Jesus was the Focus. So my first weekend back in the parish from leadership conference was spent preaching that. What is our focus? I was very personal in my sermon – Why did I become a priest? To lead you to Jesus, to help you to experience Jesus and it's Alpha that reminded me of that. It reminded me of my vocation and my love for Jesus and my desire to spread it to the people that I serve.
What made you open to the idea of running it?
It's the idea of here was this vehicle that is able to help me do what I had entered the priesthood and the seminary to do, to tell others of Jesus to share his love with others. Here was a vehicle, ready made, that clearly worked and was well-organized and well run. Alpha is efficient and effective. I remember an old priest telling me once before I was ordained, "Never strive to be popular, strive always to be effective". Effective in proclaiming the gospel and in bringing others to Christ, that's what it's about, that's what I am focused on and I saw Alpha as being very effective in bringing people to Jesus and I had forgotten that that's what I wanted to do. That's why I'm a priest so let's use this vehicle to do that.
Tell us about your first impression of running Alpha – was it what you expected?
We ended up with 40 names for potential team leaders and so I thought let's get them to do Alpha first. I wasn't able to join them for the entire Alpha but I was able to sit with them in most of the evenings. It was so good to see them respond in the discussions the way that they did. To see their ideas and the fire come back to some of them, it was powerful for me to watch them being empowered, alive and strengthened. We are currently running two café Alpha's and by the time we are finished with those, we would have run four Alphas' in 6 months, which is mind-boggling. To see where we are now, it's amazing how we started out floundering and being uncertain. We saw in the previous Alpha nearly 100 people attending. People I never thought would attend. Suddenly I was getting to know their names and getting to know people and there's one particular story about a guy that I remember. Someone asked me if this guy could come to Alpha because he doesn't come to mass and I said 'for sure'. He attended the entire Alpha but still doesn't come to mass. He is on his personal journey, and his relationship with God will grow. There's something different happening in the culture of the church and obviously people are at different stages and in different levels of discipleship. There is a shift and it's all through Alpha.
How have you seen it make a difference in your church?
I think much of that community sense is starting to grow. It's something that I have worked incredibly hard on throughout my time here to build community that we do this together and I think that's starting to happen, the ice is broken and people are starting to defrost. After mass on a Sunday there's more and more interaction and people are getting to know each other. The coffee shop has come alive I think it's just through getting to know people. That's a big thing that's happening here. Relationships are being formed through Alpha. There are things like prayer partners which Father James Mallon talks about in his book Divine Renovation so we're trying to do that more and create a sense of belonging and I think Alpha is very powerful in doing that. First of all it's a place where you can come and just have fun and eat and drink and get to know people and I think that's sort of seeping through it. Someone said to me the other day, "Father, perhaps you don't realise how warm and welcoming your Parish is compared to some other parishes, and I suppose you don't because you're involved in your work and focused on making it happen and thinking it could be better, you think more people could be involved, that you don't see but when somebody else comes in and says it is a warm and welcoming Parish you say, wow, something is happening and to an extent it's due to Alpha". Alpha is working in our context. 42 new families have joined our Parish in the last 6 months, so something is happening.
What kinds of reasons do you think people have for trying Alpha in your church/specific context?
I think because there is a good sense of community starting to happen. Ever since I came back from Alpha leadership conference 2017 I've pushed and focused just about everything we do to being about missionary disciples, but that is dependent upon my relationship with Jesus Christ. I cannot take to others what I myself do not have, and so in helping people to see the mission they have as Catholic Christians to proclaim Jesus, there has to be fundamentally and foundationally a realization themselves that they need a relationship with Jesus and so along with promoting missionary discipleship, promoting a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
What kinds of reasons do you think people have for trying Alpha in your church/specific context?
A woman said to me the other day Father I can still remember before you became our priest when you came to help us here you said "it's all about Jesus" and that stayed with me. That's what I've been trying to preach. It's about Jesus! Who is Jesus for me, what are the essentials of discipleship and it's with Jesus. So I think Alpha encourages that, it speaks of Jesus, it's the kerygma, the foundational proclamation, Jesus. So that ties in with what we're trying to do here and so I suppose they're hearing it in sermons and hearing it in what we're doing as a Paris and so it easily fits into that and so there's a comfort in that and they feel like they're responding to what the parish priest is saying from the pulpit every Sunday.
How has Alpha fitted into the rest of the work that your church does in reaching out to your community?
For so long, for Catholics it's been about teaching the Sacraments, catechism and all sorts of things, that sometimes Catholics forget, and we as priests and teachers of the Faith, forget that Jesus comes first. The proclamation of Jesus, the gospel, is the first step. Catechism and the sacraments all follow from that, and so once we get Jesus right, everything about the church begins to make sense and so Alpha does that, it helps us to make sense of the rest of everything that we do. If I know why I'm saying mass, why I'm praying a novena, why my children are coming to catechism, because of Jesus, then mass, novenas and catechism, makes sense. Jesus is gives life and meaning to everything that we do as Catholics and I think that for some time that hasn't been a Catholic thought and so to turn us around and say here is, Jesus comes first. So that's what I'm trying to do and I think that it's starting to happen.
What would you say to someone thinking about running Alpha for the first time? And what advice would you give them?
Pray! Pray! Pray! Pray always. Remember why you became a priest, your love for Jesus and a desire to share that love with others and if you pray and remember that, and then trust in the spirit that God spirit will lead you in a way that you need to be led, He will get you to where you need to be, so trust in the spirit. It will work out, you will get the right people, and maybe not the people that you expect, but you will get the right people and if you are under the influence of the spirit, it will work.
