FG did not suspend removal of fuel subsidy because of 2023 elections – Femi Adesina
FG did not suspend removal of fuel subsidy because of 2023 elections – Femi Adesina
Femi Adesina, the President Buhari's Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, has refuted claims of the federal government suspending plan to remove fuel subsidy because of the 2023 election.
Speaking in an interview on Channels Television on Wednesday January 26, the presidential aide maintained that FG suspended plan to remove fuel subsidy because "the timing is not auspicious and inflation is still high".
Adesina said;
"It is a valid thing [to do], but is this done because of elections next year? No.
"It is done because as the minister (of finance) stated, the timing is not auspicious, inflation is still high. In the past eight months, we saw inflation reducing but the last month, it went up again; further consultations need to happen with all the stakeholders."
The presidential aide who also noted that government across the world is always mindful of its actions and decisions in a pre-election year, cited the developments in the United States and their impacts on the country's poll.
He also debunked claims that the present administration's proposal to extend the removal of fuel subsidy by 18 months was intended to booby-trap the next president.
Adesina added;
"That was not the intention, the intention was also stated – the timing is not right, it will exacerbate the hardship of the people and the President genuinely cares.
"Politics is a part of our lives, but elections will just be one event in the life of the country. When elections come, they go, the country continues. This fuel subsidy, whether it stays or goes, is going to have a serious impact on the economy."
Adesina also said following suspension of the plan, Nigerians will pay the price as borrowing might continue.
He said;
"Head or tail, Nigeria will have to pay a price.
"It's either we pay the price for the removal in consonance and in conjunction with the understanding of the people, but if that will not come, the other cost is that borrowings may continue, and things may be difficult fiscally with both the states and the Federal Government.
"You know how much could have been saved if the subsidy was removed and how it could have been diverted to other areas and spheres of national life. But if you do not go that way now – and I agree that it may not be auspicious to go that way, then we have to pay a price."

Amid the row surrounding the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016, the All Assam Students' Union (AASU) is now trying to mobilise nationwide support against the bill. The AASU leadership has met leaders of as many as 11 political parties, seeking their support to the campaign against the citizenship bill.
Incidentally, the AASU's efforts have already started bearing fruits with Janata Dal (United) president and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar Yadav extending his support to the AASU.
"We have started a nationwide campaign against the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016, and have met leaders of as many as 11 national parties, including Congress, JD(U), TRS, TDP and Left parties, and sought their support to our campaign against the bill. Bihar CM Nitish Kumar has, in fact, extended his support to our campaign," AASU adviser Samujjal Kumar Bhattacharjee said in Guwahati.
BREAKING : All #Assam Students' Union (AASU) mobilizes nationwide support against Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, meets leaders of 11 political parties. #AASU adviser Samujjal Bhattacharjee says Bihar CM Nitish Kumar has extended his support to their campaign against the bill
— NEWS LIVE (@NewsLiveGhy) May 17, 2018
The AASU leadership said they are hopeful of exerting more pressure on the BJP-led central government so that the latter does not go ahead with the bill that proposes granting citizenship to minority communities facing persecution in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh, including Bangladeshi Hindus.
"We have also sought an appointment with Prime Minister Narendra Modi but the PMO is yet to provide us a date for the meeting," the AASU leadership further said, and added that they hope Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal will come up with a clearer stand rather than making diplomatic statements.
The influential students' body also said it will intensify its agitation against the bill in the coming days if the government goes ahead with the bill.

My artworks for the table refer to traditional porcelain or restaurant whitewares, but with softer forms inspired by the playful and abundant qualities of Mexican earthenware. I invented my own production process after studying clay mold fragments in antiquated factories and museums. After forming pieces in molds, on the wheel, or both, I finish with gestural animals, stamps, slips, sprigs and multihued glazes.
To some, my jeweltone glaze colors evoke a healthy garden in bloom or an underwater seascape. My colors, textures and strength of my forms set my work apart; my forms are muscular and strong but also fluid. I engage both ends of the spectrum, from the dynamic and substantive to the detailed and dreamy—I celebrate tiny surprises in my work. My colorful, shapely earthenware looks best holding a freshly prepared meal on the table.

Can You Drink Water While Fasting?
People engage in fasting for various reasons; to lose weight, decrease the rate of aging, improve brain functions, follow health instructions, etc. Yes, indeed, several pieces of evidence attest to the fact that fasting is beneficial for our health.
There are several forms of fasting, with every type having its peculiar guidelines. The question about drinking water while fasting is not one that can be answered directly.
Water is an absolute necessity for normal metabolic and physiological body functions. But, when it comes to fasting, drinking water is allowed for some kinds of fasts, and not advised in others.
To find out all you need to know about water and fasting, sit back and stay glued to this article, till the very end. But what is certain is that fasting must be approached responsibly and healthily.
Therefore, no matter what your method of intermittent fasting is, the app will help you. It also includes an integrated dashboard to analyze your fasting habits.
But what is certain is that fasting must be approached responsibly and healthily.If you're interested in trying intermittent fasting, there's an app to help you do it that is called Lasta.
Lasta app has unique features that help in keeping the track of your fasting times. Therefore, no matter what your method of intermittent fasting is, the app will help you.
It also includes an integrated dashboard to analyze your fasting habits.
What Is Fasting?
Fasting is the voluntary abstinence from certain or all foods, water or both for a period of time. This is done following a doctor's recommendation or for other purposes.
There are various types of fasting, ranging from dirty fasting to water fasting, and each type has its unique guidelines and benefits.
The beautiful thing about fasting is that if the physician's guidelines are carefully followed, then the expected results are mostly seen.
Is Drinking Water Allowed While Fasting?
As stated earlier, drinking water while fasting depends on the type of fast, and also, the reason for fasting.
Let's have a look at some types of fasts.
1. Dry fasting.
This Fasting Challenge involves total abstinence from all forms of food and drinks, including water. It is mostly engaged in for religious purposes.
It is important that one is certified healthy to engage in such a fast by a health practitioner first, because dry fasting can lead to dehydration and other health complications.
Thus, this kind is only done for a limited period of time.
Dry fasting can also be done as a separate kind of fast, or during intermittent fasting. When it is incorporated into intermittent fasting, all forms of food and drinks including water are shunned during the fasting periods.
2. Intermittent fasting.
As the name implies, intermittent fasting is a type of fast that involves skipping meals for a number of hours, and at most two days at a stretch. In the remaining hours or days, one is free to eat.
There are different types of intermittent fasting; the 16:8 method, the 5:2 method, the whole day fasting method, the eat-stop-eat method, the alternate day fasting, the 10:8 method, etc.
The major aim or reason for engaging in this type of fast is to lose weight. Another reason is to prevent diabetes. During the hours of fasting, the body is deprived of glucose, and thus provides energy via gluconeogenesis. This is the basic mechanism by which intermittent fasting works.
Since water imparts no form of glucose to the body, one can drink water while on this type of fast.
3. Fasting prior to surgery or other medical procedures.
Physicians usually advise patients to avoid meals and drinks from about 8 to 12 hours before surgery or any other medical procedure involving anesthesia.
During general anesthesia, the patient is unable to carry out even reflex actions. So, the presence of food or drinks in the gastrointestinal tractor (GIT) can easily cause aspiration and vomiting.
Staying off food for that period of time is so important that a surgery can be postponed if a patient fumbles.
However, in some procedures, the physicians can allow the intake of water, but only until about 2 hours prior to the surgery. This is because water is quickly digested and will pose no problem by the time of surgery.
For children especially, drinking water 1 to 2 hours before surgery helps to improve overall physiological and metabolic state, making them more compliant.
In essence, this is another type of fasting where drinking water may not be allowed.
4. Fasting prior to certain fasting blood tests.
Some categories of blood tests require the patient to have empty stomachs before samples can be taken, for the purpose of accuracy. These tests are usually done early in the morning, from about 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM, and require patients to have an overnight 8 to 10 or 8 to 12 hours fast.
Examples include:
- Fasting blood sugar test.
- Liver function tests.
- Renal function panel.
- Vitamin B complex test.
- Cholesterol test.
- Basic metabolic panel.
- Triglycerides measurement test.
- Serum tests.
- Lipoprotein panel, etc.
For these types of blood tests, drinking water while fasting is generally allowed, except the doctor advises otherwise.
5. Water fasting.
From the name, it looks like this type of fast prohibits water intake, but the reverse is the case. Water fasting is rather, a type of fast where one is not allowed to take anything else apart from water. It is usually done from 24 to 72 hours at most.
The major reason people engage in this type of fast is to promote health and prevent certain diseases. Although it has been shown to promote autophagy and to some extent, prevent the risk of heart diseases, it is, however, inadvisable to engage in such without the doctor's consent.
Water is life, goes the usual saying, and this is true because the benefits of water to the body system are enormous. Little wonder the question about drinking water while fasting is in the hearts of many.
As we have seen thus far, drinking water while fasting depends on the reason for fasting in the first place and the type of fast engaged in.
Drinking water is not allowed in dry fasting, and fasting prior to some medical procedures like surgeries. However, it is permitted in intermittent fasting, fasting before certain blood tests and water fasting.
Another point worthy of note is that, during some fasts, certain drinks other than water can also be taken.
Before undergoing any type of fasting, it is very important to have the doctor's backing and also to follow their instructions in the course of the fast.

Doreen Carter, an 80-year-old British grandmother, has become the first person in the world to be fitted with a revolutionary life saving device, to prevent blood clots. The operation was completed by doctors at the Royal Berkshire Hospital, during a 15 minute surgical procedure.
Doctors believe that the surgery would prevent thousands of deaths from blood clots after surgery. The procedure involves inserting a specially designed titanium filter through a catheter, into the inferior vena cava. This is a major vein, which carries blood to the heart. This mesh-like device will catch clots before they cause damage.
Doctors believe that the methods used until now to prevent blood clots after surgery, including use of anti clotting drugs, had their own prevalent risks attached with their use. However, the new revolutionary device is easy to put in and take out, because of its unique structure.
Mrs. Carter from Wokingham had the device put in recently, after a major bowel operation and she said it was her privilege to be the first patient to have undergone the procedure.
Every year almost 25,000 people die because of pulmonary embolisms – a condition that occurs when blood clots reach the lungs. Royal Berkshire Hospital is one of only seven hospitals, who are taking part in the project to reduce the number of victims of pulmonary embolisms. Six of the hospitals are in UK and one in Belgium.

USB Microphone to Record in Home Studio
- Written by Rodrigo Marques
Why should you have a Home Studio? If you like independence, you can record your own songs without relying on others to do so. Who knows, you save a lot of money in a production that would require much studio time. We know that major studios charge by the hour, so time is money. So let's check what we can do...
You can make one of these choices:
1) record in a professional studio
2) do it yourself on your Home Studio
3) or even ask a friend to do it with you
Of course, the option to record everything at home in Home Studio seems to be the best. You don't need to wait for others to make things happen. You can still repeat the recording as often as you want, and you can choose the best moments, when you are inspired to write. You have your studio ready to record at any time.
You had to record a few things using that computer microphone, but it is unable to capture all the voice nuances, the timbre of the guitar, the frequencies of the audio spectrum, which greatly limits the quality. They are indicated for use just with communication softwares like Skype, because it has phone quality only.
Now is the question: how to buy an inexpensive microphone for under US$100?
Professional microphones are equipped with XLR connectors, and you will not get it easy to plug in to your PC, unless you have a compatible sound card, such as Delta 44, Mia, Darla, Layla or equivalent.
An inexpensive way to resolve this problem is to use a USB microphone. USB? Yes, that same place where you connect a pen drive, camera, all this is plugged into the USB port. It is very easy to use a USB microphone: just plug it into your USB and wait a few seconds until it is recognized as a sound device.
The quality of the USB microphone is considerable and you can use it for professional recordings without losing audio quality. Sure, you can come to want an upgrade to a normal microphone in the future, but it will always be nice to have a USB microphone in your arsenal.
A Behringer C-1U USB microphone is an example model which lets users make professional recordings for less than US$100. Plug it into your laptop and go! You are willing to record your podcasts anywhere with high quality!
This is one way of solving the microphone problem in Home Studio.
This video from YouTube may help you...
An extra tip from Rodrigo: If you want to know How To Build a Home Recording Studio From Scratch And Get High Quality Audio Using a Production Process, I recommend you take a look at our kindle book right now.
Rodrigo Marques
We believe that a Home Recording Studio can change the future of many entrepreneurs and artists who need to show how great their talents are. Enjoy it!

The name Joe Dante should definitely be familiar to all of us who grew up in the eighties and beyond. He not only became a sensation when he directed films like The Howling and Gremlins, but Dante became a name synonymous with a comedic bite that helped shape many facets of cinema, including horror and the blockbuster.
Growing up as a kid from New Jersey who fell in love with the big screen, he went on to work with the legendary low budget producing magnate Roger Corman. Along with other filmmakers who became successful, he began to make a name for himself with projects including Hollywood Boulevard and the now forty-year-old homage to Jaws with deadly flesh-eating fish, Pirahna. His list of work is varied and all have a voice of their own, including Explorers, The Twilight Zone: The Movie, Gremlins 2, Innerspace, The 'Burbs, Matinee, Small Soldiers and his acclaimed Masters of Horror episodes. His latest passion project is as a podcast host, along with screenwriter Josh Olson, on their Trailers From Hell series The Movies That Made Me.
Recently, he was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Fantasia International Film Festival during the premiere of his latest project Nightmare Cinema, an anthology film orchestrated by the man behind the adaptation of Stephen King's The Stand and Sleepwalkers, Mick Garris.
Speaking to Joe Dante has been a dream of mine since I was very young, and it was a joy to finally sit down with him and chat about his career. Among other things, we spoke about his work throughout the decades and his latest horror outing, Nightmare Cinema. Check it out below, and enjoy!
Joe, thank you so much for talking to me today, this is truly an honor for me.
Joe Dante: It's my pleasure. Thank you for wanting to speak with me.
So when did your passion for film begin? Was it something that started in your youth or something you transitioned into later in life?
Joe Dante: Well, we didn't have a television growing up. The only time I would see movies was the Saturday Matinee. They had ten cartoons and two features and the first boy and girl in line got in for free. I got into the habit, and I stayed for the cartoons and usually left before the feature because it was all grownups and I wasn't interested. Then I stayed for It Came From Outer Space in 3D and I realized that movies had a lot to offer on their own. After that, I became the only kid that went to the movies every Saturday and Sunday.
Wow. So would you say that It Came From Outer Space was the film that influenced you the most?
Joe Dante: No. That's the movie that kept me coming back for features. In those days during the kiddie matinees, the movie was suitable, and if not it was an adult film. It was a western, or a Tarzan movie, the Bowery Boys or Abbott and Costello. It was just a lot of fun and was very raucous because it was just a bunch of screaming kids. It was a whole lot of fun.
And what was it about film that grabbed you? Was it the cinematography, the story, or anything in particular?
Joe Dante: Well, I don't know if I was past the point where I even knew that actors weren't making up words when they went along. I didn't know anything about films, I just thought they were a lot of fun. The more outlandish the movie was the more fun it was for me.
When you began working for Roger Corman, how did that meeting come about, and what was that experience like from the inside?
Joe Dante: I was a big fan of Roger's, and I saw the black and white sci-fi movies. So when my friend Jon Davison came out to California to get a job he asked me if I wanted to come out and make trailers for Corman. So the first time I met him was in a screening room to run my very poorly edited trailer. I had arrived late and didn't drive, so I rolled one of my reels down the street. It was horrible.
I remember the first thing Roger said to me was, "Young man if I were you I would get to these things on time. And I thought, "That's it, my career is over." But Roger was very forgiving because he had to be and some of the people that worked for him didn't know anything.
I began making all the trailers with my partner Allan Arkush because Roger got tired of hiring piecemeal people and telling them what kind of trailers to make. He thought if he hired young kids they could learn to do it on their own. We inherited the trailers for a whole bunch of movies in the seventies and it was during that period that I learned editing and moviemaking and asked him to do a movie of our own. He'd said we could if it was the cheapest movie he'd made, we had ten days to do it, and we had to make the trailers. The only way we could make a movie that was decent was to make something out of the movies we had trailers for. So we made Hollywood Boulevard which was practically a documentary about how movies were made at New World.

This Lightning Autococker body kit was machined from billet aluminum and not a stock WGP serialized blank, wgp stock body, or an extrusion by Chris Ogaz at TnC Products / Ogaz Enterprises in Ontario California. So it is actually not an Autococker but a 'Cocker'.
A similar Lignting Autococker Benji found.
Benji found a similar body to this about 4 or so years back and it was finished in a polished clear with similar with slightly different cuts.
At the time it was a mystery and we made a video looking for information and showing that body.
Benji's body has the sight rail machined off / or flat topped and the cut throughs are slightly different lengths and positions. Otherwise the body was the same.
For several years we received no clues as to the history on Benji's body or TnC Products, aside from seeing the logo on another body or two.
In 2018, in a post on mcarterbrown we put up to try and get some info, Chris Ogaz commented "…in case anyone comes across another this was made by TnC Products. I made them back in 2000. I made several designs of the Autococker bodies."
Find that post at https://www.mcarterbrown.com/forums/ask-experts/267185-cocker-id.html
I eventually met up with Chris and we recorded a video on his history with his companies Tnc Products and Ogaz Enterprises and the Autococker bodies he machined for Spanky, FBM and Jackal Machine.

Our team will work together to accomplish amazing goals. The work we do will be meaningful and have a positive impact on communities across the country.
vIRTUAL InternSHIP for pre-law students
Interning is one of the most effective ways to achieve success. However, internships can be boring, irrelevant, useless, and time-consuming. We have designed an internship that is excited, flexible, and will help you achieve your professional goals. Most students will not have an opportunity to work with a professor at a major university who can endorse their application for their dream job. In our organization, interns work directly with a professor with a proven track record of helping students achieve their dreams.
Johnson Forensic Services LLC is a local organization that leverages contracts, volunteers, and small donations to promote behavioral health, social justice, and sustainable peace through leveraging research on childhood adversity, social disadvantage, and mental health to help members of the justice community make more informed decisions. Dr. Micah E. Johnson, the Executive Director, is a pioneer of forensic sociology. Dr. Johnson currently serves as a professor of mental health law and policy. Interns will work directly with Dr. Johnson on exciting, fulfilling hands-on projects involving helping real people and building relationships with attorneys, investigators, and professionals in the legal field.
Interns will assist with research, strategy, organization, and outreach.
- Obtain an endorsement and recommendation from a well-respected professor. This will help interns compete for top-tier employment opportunities. Dr. Johnson has helped several students enter medical school, graduate school, fortune 500 companies, and other outstanding positions.
- Network with scholars, experts, and insiders in diverse fields. Interns will have rare access to invaluable connections and opportunities.
- Receive a world-class educational experience alongside Dr. Johnson, who is a decorated artist, educator, professor, and scientist.
- Resume
- 3.0 GPA (Provide Unofficial Transcript)
- Must be 18 years or older (Provide proof of date of birth)
- Must commit to at least 10 hours a week (describe your availability in your personal statement)
- Demonstrate interests (Brief Personal Statement)
Please email your resume, proof of GPA, proof of date of birth, and personal statement to email@example.com. You may use the form below but please email your proof or documentation in a separate email.
Dr. Johnson had a way of bringing the team together by facilitating awareness and understanding. He is very passionate in the topics he teaches and he provided a safe and welcoming environment in which students were comfortable asking difficult questions, sharing experiences, and exploring new topics. His passion fueled passion in his students.

Nozipho Zikhali, award-winning scientist, enjoys playing with her two dogs, Jojo and Jayjay, but she would also love to own a cat one day. What does a scientist do in her spare time? She watches YouTube videos on science, and reads books – oh, and she enjoys eating!
Nozipho's advice to other young girls? "Follow your dreams and do what makes you happy."
I asked the scientist's mom, Lungile Shobe-Zikhali, what she did differently to spark her daughter's interest in on science. She explained that she started reading to Nozipho even before she was six months old. Her message to parents is to "let your children read on subjects that are of interest to them". She explained: "Reading is a foundation for everything and it encourages curiosity. When children read it opens an opportunity for them to ask questions and see how to best deal with issues they get confronted with. Also they see how other people deal with similar issues."
She added that parents must also be okay with losing personal time to helping their kids reach their potential or explore their dreams.
Sharing the podium with Nozipho was Kamogelo Makgobo Rakgetse, also an awardee of the Eskom Expo competition.
Kamogelo's advice to other 17-year-old boys from disadvantaged backgrounds like himself is that "your background is no limitation to the endless possibilities that are out there". His interest was ignited while growing up in an area that always had lots of broken down cars and things needing to be fixed. This presented an opportunity to be motivated to do better and improve the situation he was in.
Kamogelo adds: "One should follow their heart and do everything you love and do not let friends deter you from your goals."
Full details of their research work and the Eskom Expo competition are at:

The medical investigation has proved that the consumption of TAN favorable influences to the functions of gastrointestinal tract, and cardiovascular system. By the middle of XIX century Russian doctors have become interested with the secrets of longevity of Caucasian people, and they have decided that the whole trick is in the healthful drink, which was consumed in Caucasus since the old days. It was called with sound name "TAN". The doctors have made their conclusion, that TAN has bactericide properties and perfectly cures many gastrointestinal problems. But it was not easy to obtain the ferment. The highlanders watched the recipe of TAN and made their secret their national property. The elders were telling to young people: if you give the ferment to the stranger the whole ferment of TAN will die and the village will suffer from celestial punishment.
The legend says that the Russian beauty has obtained a secret, because sultry Armenian prince could not stand to her charms. Begging her to accept his hand the young admirer gave a young woman not half of his country, but ten pounds of TAN ferment. And she escaped with his gift! It has turned out that the Russian beauty was sent as a spy to the Caucasus by Russian dairy kings. Thus this drink has got to Russia. TAN is natural fermented milk drink made of cow whole milk by means of ripening using special ferments, which consist of lactic-acid bacterium, dairy yeast, water and table salt. Regular consumption of TAN prevents dysbacteriosis, colitis, cholecystitis, gastritis, and allergic disease. TAN is applied as prophylactic in epidemic and in the regions with adverse ecological conditions. It improves the metabolism, actively reduces the body mass, and is considered to be the best means to remove alcohol withdrawal syndrome due to presence of natural antioxidants. In 2004 TAN trademark has received 2 diplomas of International exhibition fairs "Bishkek - 2004" and "Kyrgyzstan – 2004". The producer of TAN beverage, Artezian LLC, which perfectly knows all details for production of this drink, uses in its production only high quality and ecologically clean products, and production of TAN is carried out using the most up-to-date equipment. All these factors serve as the security for high quality and compliance with all requirements, set to this product.

How To Compile DIL
In order to compile DIL you must have:
- Tango D2
- Python 2.7.5 (older versions might work, too.)
Newer versions of these tools may not compile DIL. The newest version of DMD or Tango is not always used, because of regressions or unavoidable bugs.
Compile With Python
Note: The binary is placed in the bin/ folder.
Change to the root directory of DIL. E.g.:
$ cd git/dil/
Print help.
$ scripts/build.py -h
Compile a release binary.
$ scripts/build.py
Compile a debug binary.
$ scripts/build.py --debug
Pass additional parameters to the compiler like this:
$ scripts/build.py -- -L-L/path/to/Tango/lib -L-ltango-dmd
On Windows you probably have to call python explicitly.
> python scripts\build.py
Run like this:
On Linux:
$ bin/dil
On Windows:
> bin\dil.exe
Executing DIL without parameters will print the main help message.
The language of the compiler messages can be set in the configuration file. Many messages are still untranslated. This task has low priority at the moment.

Willans, Fiona and Early, Robert and Tamtam, Helen and Robert, Charley and Thieffry, Christelle and Vandeputte-Tavo, Leslie (2015) Re-shaping language policy in Vanuatu education: Complexity, challenges and chances. UNSPECIFIED.
This is the latest version of this item.
Download (845kB) | Preview
This symposium addresses recent language policy developments in Vanuatu's education system. Planners in Vanuatu must contend with immense linguistic diversity, comprising around 100 vernacular languages, Bislama (a pidgin/creole that serves as national language and co-official language), and English and French (former colonial languages, co-official languages, and 'principal languages' of a dual-medium education system). Language debates have featured in the socio-political landscape since Independence, reflecting pressures towards tradition (the importance of the vernaculars, and recognising Bislama as a unifying force and token of national identity), and also modernity (the rise of Bislama as an urban creole, the growing importance of English, and reactions against the perceived decline in the significance of French). Bislama's place within formal education has been particularly controversial and, while desires to include the multiplicity of small vernaculars are growing, just asking exactly how this might happen has usually served to stifle discussion. However, numerous initiatives around "rethinking" education in Vanuatu have resulted in significant steps towards "reshaping" this sector. A new education language policy was endorsed in 2012, which mandates the use of the vernaculars (including Bislama) as medium of instruction during formal pre-school and the first two primary years, and which recommends the continued use of these languages to then support the transition to English or French. The implementation of this policy has been incorporated within the remit of the Vanuatu Education Support Programme, which focuses on strengthening the quality of the early stages of education. In this symposium, we bring together multiple perspectives on these developments. We present insights from the Ministry of Education and Training, the Vanuatu Education Support Programme, the Curriculum Development Unit, the international donor community, and two universities from the Pacific region. Drawing on this range of expertise, we offer a window into the realities of such a complex innovation.

The Falcons head into draft season with a boatload of picks and a handful of free agent signings aimed at helping the team address some of its major weaknesses.If they want to be successful in 2014, however, they will need contributions from some of the young players already on the roster.
Seeing that Malliciah Goodman has been bulking up in the offseason makes me think he'll be playing end in a 3-4, where he could very well be a force. Jonathan Massaquoi finished out the season strong and it goes without saying that Desmond Trufant is someone we'll be watching closely. How many of these young players can be relied upon in 2014 as starters, or at least c ontributors?
I don't want to spike the punch, so I'll leave it to you guys to discuss. Weigh in.

Yes, I Am A Writer And Photographer.
Whenever I tell someone that I'm a writer and photographer, I subconsciously ask myself if they believe me, because often times, they don't. There is just something askew with modern society which dictates the following generalized rules according to professionalism in which one must either have a college degree in their profession or get paid a lot of money for it. And while at this point, I do not yet have a college degree, I do get paid for what I create, and although it's not much compared to what others are being paid, it's enough for me to get by.
Too often in modern society, we make the mistake of judging the worth others, and sadly ourselves, based upon external evidences such as college degrees, our salaries, where we live, the value of our physical possessions, etc, when we should value and accept ourselves and one another simply as unique and individual human beings. It matters not where we have been, who we know, or how much money we make, but that within each one of us is a story or perspective on the human experience that needs to be paid attention to, and that is the reason why I have decided to devote my life to my creative pursuits.

We received the following from City Manager Mike Burns after contacting him regarding the name Robert E. Lee appearing on the Showboat.
As you know, we have received a grant from the State of Michigan to build a new Showboat. For much of this year, a committee has been considering new names for the boat, which we expect to begin building next year. While most of West Michigan refers to it simply as the Lowell Showboat, we recognize that the name is offensive to many. We will be taking steps this week to remove the name on the boat.

Choosing a Lender
About Choosing a Lender
It is recommended that you use a local lender in the area in which you wish to purchase. Local lenders are familiar with the subdivisions and have access to project approvals and knowledge of the types of loans available. Especially for a second home buyer, conventional or FHA loan primary buyer. Project approval is always necessary for an underwriter. You may know that you are approved, but your property must also meet certain criteria, that includes, but is not limited to the appraisal. You should always interview the lender. Although lenders have many questions, and sometimes even stringent, guidelines that you must conform to, do not forget that you too have the option of "interviewing" your lenders to make sure they meet your needs as well.
Questions When Interviewing a Lender
Here are some questions that you can, and should ask a prospective lender:
- Are both fixed rate and adjustable mortgages offered?
- Are both fixed rate and adjustable mortgages offered?
- Are there "points"? At this time in Summit County lenders generally do not charge "discount points" on a conventional loan.
- Can I "lock-in" the current interest rate if approved, and for how long?
- Is it possible to get an extension on the locked rate if necessary, and what is the fee?
- What are the other fees a lender may charge me in conjunction with my loan?
- How often can the interest rate be adjusted on a variable loan rate?
- Is there a maximum limit on each rate change?
- How often will the monthly payment be adjusted?
- Is there a cap on payment adjustments?
- Can the term of the loan be extended?
- Is there a pre-payment penalty?
- How late can a monthly payment be made before a late charge is assessed?
- What will happen if a payment is missed?
- If you sell your house will the buyer be able to assume your mortgage at the same interest rate?
- Will mortgage insurance be required?
You may choose to ask some or all of these questions (or others you may have) before applying for a loan, as a means of determining which lender can best meet your needs. Be sure to ask for a photocopy for your records any time you fill out any type of credit application (there may be a charge for a credit application to be processed). You can then attach their responses to the above questions, as well as any other notes you've made. Lenders are required by RESPA to give you a "Good Faith Estimate" on all of the charges that may be incurred in the loan process and the final loan approval. Make sure you receive it.

A team of research scientists at IBM and Singapore's Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (IBN) have drawn upon years of expertise in semiconductor technology and material discovery to crack the code for safely destroying the antibiotic-resistant and sometimes-deadly superbug MRSA.
IBM says the researchers have made a nanomedicine breakthrough by converting common plastic materials such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) into non-toxic and biocompatible materials designed to specifically target and attack fungal infections.
The stubborn methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has been feared by gym goers, hospital patients and staff, and parents of schoolchildren for decades. In the U.S. alone, MRSA kills more than 19,000 people a year. Enter IBM's new "ninja polymers," which could finally defeat the formidable bacteria.
IBM says its nanomedicine polymer program looked to the company's chip development research, which revealed that certain materials could be manipulated at the atomic level to control their movement, which in turn inspired the researchers to see what else could be done with these new kinds of polymer structures. So they started with MRSA.
Next-Gen Materials Creating More Sustainable and/or Regenerative Products
Join us as Geno, Modern Meadow, OurCarbon and Material Connexion explore a range of new materials that are promising to transform a variety of industries — Monday, October 16, at SB'23 San Diego.
The result: The creation of what are now playfully known as "ninja polymers" — sticky nanostructures that quickly target infected cells in the body, destroy the harmful content inside without damaging healthy cells in the area, and then biodegrade.
By tailoring the ninja polymers, the researchers were able to create macromolecules — molecular structures containing a large number of atoms — that combine water solubility, a positive charge and biodegradability. When mixed with water and heated to normal body temperature, the polymers self-assemble and form a synthetic hydrogel that is easy to manipulate.
When applied to contaminated surfaces, the hydrogel's positive charge attracts negatively charged microbial membranes, much like stars and planets being pulled into a black hole, IBM says. But unlike other antimicrobials that try to destroy bacteria by preventing it from replicating, the hydrogel ruptures the bacteria's membrane, rendering it completely unable to regenerate or spread.
The hydrogel is over 90 percent water, making it easy to handle and apply to surfaces, and makes it potentially viable for eventual inclusion in applications such as creams or injectable therapeutics. It is biodegradable, biocompatible and non-toxic, and could be an ideal tool to combat a variety of serious health hazards facing hospital workers, visitors and patients.
According to Dr Yi Yan Yang, group leader at IBN, "The ability of our molecules to self-assemble into nanofibers is important because unlike discrete molecules, fibers increase the local concentration of cationic charges and compound mass. The result is a highly efficient killing strategy that causes minimal damage or toxicity to surrounding healthy cells."
With characteristics such as electrostatic charge similar to polymers, the molecules can break through bacterial membranes and eradicate fungus, then biodegrade in the body naturally. This is important to treat eye infections associated with contact lenses, and bloodstream infections such as Candida: According to IBN, preliminary lab trials found that the polymer treatment eradicated more than 99.9% of Candida fungi cells after one hour of incubation — and no signs of drug resistance were noted after 11 treatments.
If proven viable for widespread use, ninja polymers could help save more than lives: BCC Research reported that the treatment cost for fungal infections was $3 billion worldwide in 2010 and is expected to increase to $6 billion in 2014.
In addition to this potential medical breakthrough, IBM last month unveiled its eighth annual "IBM 5 in 5" (#ibm5in5) — a list of innovations that have the potential to change the way people work, live and interact during the next five years, and the tech company's role in making them a reality.

A friend and I were discussing what makes a "bigger†book. There's no real definition for bigger, but the one thing I can guarantee you is that it's not word count. Words are a tool to tell a story, they are NOT the story.
So what is "bigger?†I think it comes down to universal themes that resonate with a larger audience.
For instance, in the Harlequin/Silhouette category books, like Desire, Special Edition, Super Romance, etc, the writing is tightly focused on the emotions of falling in love, and therefore, limits the audience. That does NOT make these books any less enjoyable, it just narrows the audience.
But a bigger book has more 'commercial' themes. As an example, let's talk about the movie Ghost. It works the same in books or movies, and my husband and I just watched it over the weekend so it's fresh in my mind. The movie has been out for something like 20 years, yet it has a timeless quality to it, and I think that's because of its themes.
The sudden loss of a loved one. Every person has or will experience this.
What happens when we die? Look at all the books, movies, religions and philosophies dedicated to trying to explain it.
Can a dead loved one reach us? Can we reach them? There's a whole industry of psychics and others making money off "contacting the dead.†The emotional fragility of grieving will make even the strongest of us reach for any flicker of hope.
Letting go of a loved one. There's many shades to this one. In the movie, it was time for the hero and heroine to let go of each other so the hero could move on. I had a moment like that with my mom at the very end of her life. She was so sick and I remember the moment clearly where I finally closed my eyes and said to my deceased brother; "You can have her now. Anything to stop her pain.†I was ready to let her go and she passed soon after that.
Betrayal by a friend. In the movie, the hero is betrayed by someone he knows and trusts. Who hasn't at least seen that happen if not experienced it?
These themes touch all of us, helping us to relate to the movie or book on a personal, intimate level. And that helps create a bigger feel to the book.
In my books, I try to find these universal themes. It's even more important, I think, because I'm writing paranormal. In NIGHT MAGIC, my heroine, Ailish, is handfasted to a demon and has two weeks to either complete the bond and become a demon witch (who is evil), or she dies.
Now I doubt many of us have ever been in that predicament. But the core theme there is something like: Can a good person be betrayed or tricked into becoming evil? That's a pretty timeless theme, one that religions have explored and argued since the beginning of time. These themes spin off into more:
Betrayal: Ailish trusted her mother, and she betrayed her.
Redemption: Can Ailish atone for a mistake she made when she was 16?
Handicap: Ailish is blind, something that I believe really humanizes her.
Can she face her own death?
How far will the man who loves her go to save her?
I'm using the idea of "themes†here loosely, but these are the universal concepts that we have some familiarity with and therefore connect us to the characters strongly enough to feel like we're in their skin. We understand their struggles and conflicts.
P.S. NIGHT MAGIC, the third book in my Wing Slayer Hunter Series went on sale March 22nd, and the forth book SINFUL MAGIC will be out May 31st.
Jennifer Lyon always wanted to be a witch. When her witch-powers didn't materialize, she turned to creating magic in her books. NIGHT MAGIC is the third book in an enchanting, passionate and supernatural series.

Thanks, Maureen! That means a lot coming from you.
Great post, Jen! and oh my…just finished NIGHT MAGIC and I think it's my favorite so far! So emotional and rich….wonderful book!
Marianne, thanks! And thank you for your help on it when I had my back against the wall!
Kate, wow, thank you! I'm so touched. And you will remember that I did NOT feel like I knew what I was doing while writing that book, LOL!
And what's this about you not being a witch? I don't think I got that memo… 🙂
Hi Jen,
This is a great post on universal themes. Like Kate, I'm reading NIGHT MAGIC and truly enjoying it. I think it's one of your best books.
Hi Jennifer! What an insightful post! I'm reading NIGHT MAGIC right now and I can completely relate to your characters, even though I'm not a witch. No really, I'm not! 😉
Seriously, your characters, Ailish and Phoenix, are so completely real to me. I feel their anguish and their struggles and their love and distrust. Everything. It's so clear that you know what you're talking about when it comes to presenting universal themes that reach out and connect with the reader so deeply. Thanks!
