Let's start out by forgetting about numbers completely (you have too much of that with math already). Instead, let's look at something very ordinary. Below you see a picture of a stick lying on the ground.
Drag the green handle attached to the stick and raise or lower it to different angles. You can also click at the place you want the stick to go to.
Pay attention to the shadow that the stick casts on the ground and on the "wall" as you move it.
Real world alert! Wait a minute...how come the shadow on the ground never gets longer than the stick, like it does in real life?
In the picture above, the light for the ground shadow is coming from directly overhead, and the light for the wall shadow comes from the left wall. (This is a computer. We can make the light come from anywhere we want to.) When you're outside, say, in the late afternoon, the sun isn't directly overhead, so everything changes. We'll get to that in a page or two.
If you want to try this experiment in real life, do it near noontime, when the sun is directly overhead. The ground shadow will work pretty much the way it does here.

Life on the Streets. November 1, 2011Posted by alancwu in News.
A report from the stores – this report wasn't sent anonymously although we have posted it without the name attached.
"I have worked in CPW for over 8 years as a sales consultant on/off full time and part time. My current position is full time senior sales and has been for 5 years.
As a sceptic of the recent pay changes FORCED upon me I have found the survey to be just another small cog in a big machine that by design is manipulative in CPW's favour. I am very aware that coaching the answers still goes on in many stores,especially due to the current pay structure and many,many managers not achieving bonus. This practice along with many others has to stop. But then again, where does CPW end and Best Buy Europe begin?
Many grey areas have been born in recent times,except when it comes to culling unwanted staff. LOSS PREVENTION is a very serious ongoing threat to all staff members and the reasons for getting discipined are fast becoming more vague and more frequent as the rules of what we do change.
World class scores determining my bonus is a joke,I work hard and follow the rules. In 4 years my wages have decreased year in year out, although I now have to work harder(I agree the standard of service has been increased and our customers are better treated as a result of WALK OUT WORKING) but to have a customer have any input into how much I get paid? Very wrong.
CPW had many good ideals and ideas before it joined BBE. It was a company that had pride in how it treated its customers and staff. I fear the staff have been sacrificed to a certain extent and the people in charge have either never known about the 5 fundamental rules or not worked in CPW when we lived, breathed and abided by them.
The good times are gone, the staff aren't as dedicated, the staff aren't as loyal and most importantly the staff do not buy into the company brand, but perhaps this will change? If the economy allows, CPW staff can work in many other high street stores and have the same level of pay, the benefits will be they will have to work for companies such as Tesco,Next,etc and when they go to their new jobs they will have plenty of relief as they will not have all of the stress that CPW/BBE FORCE upon us.
Finally- I believe if we all have unity we can be a part of the change. For better or worse it's up to us."

Osborne House before
Osborne House was build in the 1920s but extended in various stages since the 1960s. Like other buildings of its period it is poorly insulated and requires a lot of energy to run.
Osborne House has been a wonderful family home to live in a fantastic location surrounded by fields and close to local amenities in the village of Fulford, attached to York.
About us
We bought Osborne House in 2004 as a home for our young family. Our third son was born in 2005, and as our boys started to grow bigger we could no longer fit into a house with three small bedrooms. We started to think of options to increase our living space.
Our first plans centred on extending the house. We developed plans to demolish the extensions, renovate and insulate the original house and add a new extension. However, the difficulties of insulating the old house and attaching the new extension meant we could not achieve the environmental standards we wanted.
So we reluctantly decided to demolish our lovely home and build a new passivhaus for our family.
Osborne House plans
Our architect, Phil Bixby of Constructive Individuals, has been very helpful in formulating our thoughts into a Passivhaus design.
The design is based on fabric-first principles of excellent insulation and airtightness to reduce the energy needs of the building. All living areas are on the south side of the house with decent size windows as well as a large south facing roof for solar panels with an overhang and shading on the south side to prevent overheating.
The house will have a mechanical heat recovery ventilation system but no central heating system. The solar panels should over the year produce more power than we consume.

This session will follow the Candidate and Departmental Promotion Committee Information sessions starting at 1:30 p.m. each day. The content of both sessions (Wednesday and Thursday, March 29 & 30) are identical.
Many UWL instructors find drafting the teaching section of the promotion narrative and identifying evidence of teaching effectiveness and development baffling. We can help. In this working session, we will first examine the various sections of the teaching narrative, identifying types of evidence that might be useful. For those who already have a narrative drafted, we will guide participants in a peer review that models the promotion committee process of review by colleagues in various colleges. Past participants in these workshops have found this process very helpful. The rest of the session can be used to draft a narrative, develop evidence, or bounce ideas off colleagues.
Participants should bring a laptop, and a hard copy of the teaching section of their promotion narrative if they have one.

Chefs at Play
We are proud to announce this year's Chefs at Play winner is none other than Gary MacLean's protégée Wendy Lo. After an intense four-way cook off, Wendy Lo from the City of Glasgow College came in first place with her stunning tart "Taste of Spring".
Using our Sweet Tartelette Cases she created these delightful on-the-go patisseries with honey blossom mousse, topped with elderflower and strawberry jelly and lemon curd, garnished with fresh strawberries, blueberries and pistachio nuts.
This stunning tart will be available next week at our Taste of London stand where Wendy will work alongside James Tanner and our Aryzta Food Solutions development chefs.
Wendy Lo said: "I'm so excited, I can't really take it in. It was such a close call, because everybody's creations were so good, and so different with regards to flavours. I just wanted to make something that reflected British seasonality and bursts of spring colour – a celebration of the great outdoors. To have it recreated for Taste of London, and to get the chance to work there with the team, is such an amazing opportunity for me – I can't wait."
Chef ambassador James Tanner added: "What a fantastic showcase for young pastry talent in the UK. The pressure was on, yet all around we saw cool heads, professionalism, sublime skill and, most importantly, smiling faces. The passion and innovation really showed in the four final creations – in the end, Wendy's handle of flavour and her insistence on simplicity paired with seasonality, shone through. Congratulations to all four finalists, you've done yourselves and your mentors proud. I can't wait to see Wendy in action yet again at Taste of London."
We want to thank all our contestants for their amazing work:
- Aaron Kenny, 23, Combined Services: Orelys and Lime Frappe Tart
- Runner-up: Jennifer Brummitt, 22, Owner of The Sweet Life sandwich bar: Traditional Mojito Tart
- Runner-up: Alice Prothero, 21, University College Birmingham: Margarita Taco
We hope to see you at Taste of London where you can savour this amazing dessert!

Here are some pics of Jay-Z outside David Letterman studios yesterday with his scarf game in full effect. Not every man can pull this look off. For some reason, the neck wear is accentuating his camel-esque features very nicely.
for some reason, the neck wear is accentuating his camel-esque features very nicely.
^^^^^lmao why is that so funny to me???? ahhahhahhh
Well Jay Z actually looks nice on this pics!
I just can't get with that "urban cowboy" look…
where is everyone?
I think Jay and kayne have the same stylist. He is starting to look gay to me or he is just commercialized. I am looking forward to his new album. Does anyone ever read Rosie O'Donnell's blog?
Jay is just way to cool!
That scarf is a mess, but he does look cute.
me that's who
its hova the god!!he just signed jadakiss to the roc!!
Now watch every fake hustler in your nearest neighborhood rock a scarf around their neck. When Kanye does it, its gay!!!! See how Jay Z and his stans are such hypocrites! LOL! Wow.
It looks like he joined the Taliban..
Just kidding..
I like.. something new Jay?? Need to switch it up hey??
was he on David Letterman last night or will he be on tonight?
Big up jigga for the "jeeves dude" way to come full circle! THat's what's up. Makin em' sick in subtle ways
aww forgot that when he smiles he looks somewhat attractive…somewhat
Jigga still looks like an old man to me. Dude is pushing 40 and still trying to be relevant. What is he rapping about nowadays? I stopped listening a while back.
lol! Camelesque, such an eloquent word. LMFBAO!!!
That looks kind of faggoty to me. Maybe I'm wrong.
i want to see WHITE MEN opening cars for BLACK MEN more often. the scarf is nice
Just Lovely…To have a old white man opening your car door…We have come a long way ppl. I respect Jay, I imagine he dreamed that one day this woudl happen.
40 is the new 30 baby!!!
Black Power!!!!
Jigga still looks like an old man to me. Dude is pushing 40 and still trying to be relevant. What is he rapping about nowadays? I stopped listening a while back.
Couldn't agree more. I wish more Black people looked up to prominent Afrcian American leaders instead of gimmicks. Thugs get more respect than a hard working black man that didn't destroy the community. SMH.
shyt since this "gimmick husler ish is working for Jay maybe I need to help destory the community just to may easy money and become a million off of pimping the hood cause this math homework is kicking my ass and Im tired of doing this Computer Science Information & Technolgy home work.-just a joke I could never do that. I beleve hard work pays off eventually.
That scarf should have been just a lil higher up to cover his "camel-esque features". Homeboy is just fugly.
That scarf should have been a lil higher up to cover his "camel-esque features"!!!!!

Since its beginning in 1984, CAMI has pioneered the development of computer aided instruction technology for maths, English and perceptual learning. From humble beginnings in a small after-hours mathematics tutoring centre, CAMI has spread across the globe helping millions of learners.
In 1979 the personal computer made its debut and by 1983 a number of maths programs were available for use. It was at this time that Sarie and Charl Vorster set up an after-school education centre to specialise in computer aided maths tuition.
They quickly realised though that the programs available were not sufficient as they were too slow and ineffective for a productive learning environment. Thus Charl introduced a new style of programming termed CAI- Computer Aided Instruction, where the computer is used as a practicing device. This was the catalyst for the birth of CAMI.
Since then CAMI has grown and embraced changes in technology to become much more than a piece of software to practice mathematics. It also covers English and perceptual learning software. These three programs have been constantly refined for over two decades by educators and developers as well as through client feedback to ensure it remains the leading educational software product in the market.
Our product is simple to use and can be fit easily into your child's learning routine. What does this mean for the millions of students using CAMI worldwide? Their learning skills and abilities are enhanced, which gives them a thirst for knowledge and a desire for a more fulfilling life.

The Boston Celtics were unstoppable Friday night as they dismantled the Cleveland Cavaliers 103-86. The Celtics improve to 7-11 on the season, and the win thrusts them into the playoff picture. The result of the game may have been due to the lack of engagement that the Cavaliers have displayed this season. Cleveland can't seem to find a consistency despite the young talent on their roster. However, the Cavaliers' lack of cohesive basketball does not diminish the credit due to the Celtics for the win. Boston shot 50 percent from the field and had tremendous performances from key players.
Jeff Green put together a dominant performance for a second-consecutive game. He shot 10 of 19 from the field to score 31 points and added five rebounds. He was aggressive and completely obliterated the Cleveland defense. Green was able to score at will and made it look extremely easy. This is one of those games, in which, Celtics fans scratch their heads and yell at their TV's, "Why can't you do this every game!?" I don't blame them either. It's a fair question to ask considering the talent he has. Nonetheless, it's an encouraging sign whenever Green scores over 25 points in two games in a row. Hopefully he is beginning to be more consistent and belligerent.
Avery Bradley had another impressive night both offensively and defensively. He looked for his shot consistently and shot 9-for-11 from the field, including 3-for-4 from beyond the arc to finish with 21 points. His defense seemed to have jump-started his offense. Guarding explosive point guards like Kyrie Irving is what Bradley does best. He was able to keep Irving out of the point and hold him to just 7-of-16 from the field and 17 points. We all know how aggressive Bradley is on defense, but if he can shoot like he did tonight on a consistent basis, he is going to earn a nice paycheck for the next few years.
Jordan Crawford, yet again, proves his importance to this team. This time, he completely out-did himself by recording a triple-double. Despite a bad shooting night, Crawford scored 11 points, grabbed 11 rebounds and dished out 10 assists. This guy does not even need to score a point to be a vital contributor on this Celtics' team. The way he runs the offense is a treasured commodity in itself. The irony is that the Celtics traded for him because of his shoot-first mentality. Instead, it looks like he's always dreamed of being a point guard. Continuing this type of play will be very beneficial for this team.
The Celtics have a game in Milwaukee to face the Bucks on Saturday night. At least they can enjoy this victory for a few more hours. The Bucks have struggled mightily, so Celtics have a great chance of improving to 8-11. I know I'll be watching to see if Jeff Green can continue his tremendous play for the third-consecutive night. If he can, that'll be a huge step.

EPSRC and the Industrial Strategy
In 2013 the UK government launched a new Industrial Strategy. This new partnership between business and all parts of government has identified a range of opportunities to help create growth for the future, from developing new skills and securing critical investment to commercialising our scientific research and inventions.
They explore areas where government action can have a real and early impact across five themes:
- Working with all sectors and developing strategic partnerships with those where we can have the most impact on growth
- Supporting emerging technologies
- Improving access to finance for businesses
- Working with business to help develop skills they need
- Developing supply chains and simplifying government procurement processes
Priority Sectors
A key part of the government's strategy has involved establishing strategic partnerships with key sectors that are vital the UK's economic prosperity and where a public / private partnership can have the biggest impact. We provide over £1.65 billion for research and doctoral training that is directly relevant to the priority sectors identified in the Industrial Strategy. EPSRC develops the technologies, materials, advanced data management, statistical analyses and advanced instrumentation that enable cutting-edge breakthroughs across sectors including the health and life sciences.
It is therefore essential that where our investments provide these underpinning capabilities, we ensure excellent connectivity between the academic and industrial research communities. This ensures we can maximise the impact from these investments and allow our world class universities to provide the knowledge and skills needed to keep UK industry ahead of the global competition. The following pages provide some details about how our investments are supporting the sectors most germane to our work.
The strategy sets out an ambitious programme to secure the future of the UK's aerospace industry over the next decade and beyond, and to capture the huge market opportunities from global growth in air travel. It aims to keep the UK at the forefront of world aerospace manufacturing and help us address the challenges of increasing global competition and changes in technology. It seeks to ensure the UK has the capabilities to be at the leading edge of the design, development and production of wings, engines, aerostructures and advanced systems.
This strategy builds on the success that the UK automotive industry already enjoys. It aims to make the sector's long term future more secure, grow the UK share of the value chain and secure strong global competitive positions in low carbon research and development (R&D) and in premium and niche vehicles.
Sets out a vision and a plan for long-term strategic action by government and industry to continue to work together to promote the success of the UK construction sector. It focuses on key growth markets in smart technologies, green construction and overseas trade.
Information economy
This strategy sets out a plan for government and industry to continue to work together to promote the success of the UK information economy sector. Its main themes are a strong, innovative information economy sector exporting UK excellence to the world; UK businesses across the economy making smart use of information technology and data; ensuring citizens benefit from the digital age and underpinning the information economy in the UK.
Life sciences
The government's strategy for the UK life sciences industry. Focuses on applying biology in healthcare applications. Explains how the UK will become the global hub for life sciences in the future, providing an unrivalled ecosystem that brings together business, researchers, clinicians and patients to translate discovery into clinical use for medical innovation within the NHS. The UK will provide an environment and infrastructure that supports pioneering researchers and clinicians to bring innovation to market earlier and more easily, making the UK the location of choice for investment. Life sciences will continue to be vibrant in the UK and will be a key contributor to sustained economic growth.
The government's Nuclear Industrial Strategy sets out shared commitments with industry. It takes a long-term approach to the opportunities for economic growth and job creation from the nuclear industry: new build, waste management and decommissioning, operations and maintenance in the domestic and global markets.
Offshore wind
This strategy sets out how government and industry will work together to promote innovation, investment and economic growth in the UK offshore wind sector. It covers providing market confidence, building a competitive supply chain, supporting innovation, finance and building a highly skilled workforce.

An Interview with Billy & Catherine Coulon
By: Mike Leeds
Evergreen just broke ground on another new park in Colorado earlier this week. How is your newest creation coming along so far?
Well we literally just started 3 days ago, but we have the bowl and street course dug. This is the largest design/build project we've done in awhile so we are super excited about it. There are a lot of cool elements in the park that we think people are really going to like. The town is really small, but there's a lot of community involvement and the city people we're working with are really nice.
How long have both of you been skating and what or who got you into it?
Well first of all it's important to know that everyone who works on our crew are die hard skateboarders. It's mandatory for the job. Billy has been skating for 25 years. His grandma bought him a Tony Hawk skateboard from a garage sale in 1989 and the rest is history. I started skating when I was 22, I'd done gymnastics my whole life so I had a good sense of balance (and pain tolerance!), so skateboarding came pretty naturally. Billy and I had been dating for a couple years before that, Billy would always go off skating and I felt left out. I never knew any girls who skated. When we lived in Hawaii I was hanging out at the indoor skatepark all the time, all my friends were always there. One day I decided to skate and I had the most fun I'd had in years, I felt like a kid again and I was hooked.
What inspired you to start building skateparks?
While we were living in Hawaii we watched the Northwest documentary about all the skateparks being built in Oregon and Washington. Billy was still searching for the right career, after watching that documentary we pretty much knew that would be a perfect fit for him. Shortly after that island fever and a serious lack of opportunities forced us off the islands and we landed in Portland, OR where Billy started working with Geth Noble of Airspeed Skateparks and Dreamland Skateparks for about 5 years after that.
Evergreen is known for building parks that flow and offer something for everyone. What influenced your desire to design and build parks that accomplish this?
Being avid skaters we visit as many skateparks and skate spots as we possibly can wherever we are. We felt as though there was something missing in the modern skateparks and that was a niche we thought Evergreen's design style could fill. Essentially what we're trying to do through our parks is create the essence that you can just skate forever without stopping.
Nice! Even though every park is a labor of love and work of art, can you name some of Billy's favorite designs and a few of the crew's most anticipated to shred upon completion?
Windells is definitely Billy's favorite because of the sheer size & creative freedom. He also really likes what we are able to do in the tight space with the indoor concrete at Commonwealth Skatepark in Portland. We are really excited to skate this park we're working on Milliken, Colorado and also our upcoming project in Fredericksburg, Texas.
Creative space and freedom in every one of those parks seems to be what it's all about. Are there any basic criteria that Billy starts with? For example minimum spacing between features to allow for set up on tricks? Also anticipated lines to prevent skaters from crisscrossing on their runs?
(Billy answering) When designing a park I try to look at the park as a whole and make the obstacles work with all of the other obstacles. Every obstacle should have a dynamic/cohesive relationship with all of the aspects of the park.
Makes complete sense for the goal of flow. How about a formula of sorts to determine an estimated number of skaters that can be riding your parks at one time without overcrowding (realizing skill level as a variable)? It seems like a challenge to strike a balance between flow and space as well as the right mix of transition and street features like banks, ledges and stairs.
I try to make all areas (or at least almost all) accessible to all levels of skaters. I definitely try not bottle neck the park. I also try to design features around the perimeter of the park so people can keep skating without stopping. It really comes down to square footage- obviously a larger park is going to accommodate more skaters.
Right on. Is there anything that you would like to share with skaters, skatepark advocates, Parks Directors and others involved in the process in regards to knowing where to start to build a park that flows for everyone?
Do your research. Make sure to use the skater owned & operate companies that specialize in design/build and have a good reputation. Stay away from modular & pre-cast concrete companies.
It sounds like the future is looking very bright for Evergreen. Thank you for the opportunity to interview you Billy & Catherine. With one of you in the trenches and one busy in the office, SPS truly appreciates your time and sharing ideas to help communities around the world build the best skateparks possible. Any closing thoughts and information…?
Skatepark building is in its infancy right now. There is a lot left to explore in skatepark building and we are only at the tip of the iceberg. There are a million obstacles that we don't even have names for yet. The possibilities are endless. It takes laying a solid foundation of using the right groups and people to make sure it progresses in the right way.

Fat is a choice. Everytime you take a bite that you shouldnt you're choosing to be fat. If you're in need of a Lipo... learn about nutrition and exercise. Might i suggest such websites as bodybuilding.com and runnersworld.com. Honestly, just learn a little bit and apply it to your life and you'll lose weight... then, when you're not fat and in need of lipo, rub it in your moms face. But please stop spamming my FML with these "Im fat QQ " posts.

Fat isn't ALWAYS a choice. I know plenty of people that have exercised, dieted, and everything. They're just naturally big. I'm like that. I exercise, I eat healthy. I've even developed an intolerance toward McDonald's and Burger King. I LITERALLY can not eat fast food anymore because of the fact that my body has adjusted to HEALTHY foods, but I'm still fat. It's natural, I can't do anything about it unless I want to pay for surgery and NO WAY am I doing that. Getting surgery done is definitely NEVER going to happen with me.

I know you may be trying to help, but some people are naturally big-boned so that may make them look "fat". I am one of those people. I have dieted and exercised, but with no results. So please, dont make fun of big people. and, actually, you can eat whatever you want, but just a moderate amount of it.

No you are fat because you are fat . Of you aren't losing weight eating healthy and exercising either you aren't really eating salty or you aren't working out enough to see weight loss because the way you look at it , you probably are only doing the minimal exercise to maintain weight and people don't get that you have to exercise to maintain weight

|May the good Lord grant us the strength to bear the grief and grant us peace for the rest of our days.
"Dear uncle Foli
It s hard to believe a year has gone past since that painful day. We continue to thank God for your life and all that you accomplished. You raised 4 fanstatic children who are carrying on and making you proud. We miss you and remember you fondly now and always. Continue to Rest In Peace and give my mum and Aunty Susan a hug for me."
"A year already! Thankful for the gift of having been born and raised by such a wonderful man!!"
"Finally, I'm here on this page and it still hurts. I smile at the beautiful memories I have of you and also cry because there will be no new memories to create; my second home is just not the same without you. Thank you for the great times, unreserved love and acceptance, ever open arms to run into, wide shoulders to cry on and of course, your poor (though heartwarming) attempts at matchmaking :).
You remain unforgettable and forever loved.
"Happy birthday dad!...."
"Dear Dad........"
"We remember you today and always"
"My darling uncle foli :) thinking of you this morning. Happy birthday in heaven. So proud and lucky to have had you in my life. Love always ...."
"Fond memories of April the 1st, you are sorely missed. Sleep on dad"
"It was with unbelief that I googled for your full name (Stephen Yinka Odunfa) when I heard from a friend and colleague that you are no more hoping to not find any unpalatable news. Alas, it is true.
You were such a good man and leader of men. You never dealt with people on the basis of presumptions or assumptions.
You were forthright and demanded upright conducts from us your Internal Control & Audit Staff of then Omegabank. You taught us to see ourselves as internal consultants seeking to enshrine order and credibility where such was lacking. It was no secret that your approach to audit and control helped in changing the perception of Omegabank's audit staff from 'Thief Catchers' to troubleshooters who brought solutions to problem situations. Whenever there was infraction, you taught us to look for motive rather than outcome because the motive defined the man, his conducts, behaviours etc. You must be convinced beyond reasonable doubts before you wield the big stick as a member of the Discom.
You encouraged me to pioneer the concept of Resident Internal Control staff in the then Ondo & Ekiti branches of the bank when the group was to be split into core audit and internal control sections. You stood by me in my reports and
How i wish I had the privilege of seeing you before you eventually transited after slight health indisposition as I gathered in some of the tributes. Not because I had any money to give you but to just appreciate and encourage you for being such a great mind that God made you. May your lineage reap from the legacy of mercy and good name that I sincerely believe you bequeathed.
Sleep on in eternal rest SYO"
"My Oga and Mentor of high esteem. The best boss in the world. My guru of professional accountancy practice in Nigeria.
My prayer is that God will give your lovely Wife and Children the fortitude to bear the great loss."
Four months ago our family was inconsolable over the death of our sister, mother and grandmother Mrs Adepeju Agbeke Seriki. That we are again gathered today in mourning over another, even more painful, death is a manifestation of the inexorable way of God which passes all understanding.
As human beings we have tended to situate our grief in the fact of this death, paying no attention whatsoever to yet another fact – that it could have been worse. So it took 65 years for him to succumb to death, a period during which God blessed him generously, he raised his own family, he dutifully raised his children to a level at which their life success was guaranteed and he saw his children's children.
Therefore even in our deep sorrow we realize and we proclaim that God has been faithful to the Odunfa family. Foli, we thank God for your life. Your last days were not as we would wish but we have chosen to remember you as you were in life – a hardworking man, an uncompromisingly honest person, very stubborn in sticking to your decided course of action, a husband without blemish, a devoted father and, above all, a true Christian. We can never forget the episode in your life story when Satan mobilized a fearsome army against your integrity. Rather than bow to the lure of instant wealth you remained true to your conscience and to God. We are proud of you now as we were then. Where are those warriors of iniquity today? We believe it would have been better had they never lived.
Last week Seyi sent a message to the family on his discussion with you on your birthday, 1st of April. I quote him: "he emphasized the need for love and unity. Please remember him for who he was before his illness: a man who loved you all dearly and fought very hard to remain with us until he could fight no more." Foli, we shall not do less.
Dotun, may God Almighty stand by you in this unexpected phase of your life. You performed your wifely duty almost to perfection. Foli himself expressed it in the impromptu dance both of you performed at Bukola's wedding party last September – a dance which drew all the guests' attention and applause. Foli told us later that it was to mark your wedding anniversary. There could have been no better and public expression of the love between you.
Have faith, our dear 'Iya Alaje', as all our children call you affectionately, the God who prospered our widowed mother will take care of you.
Seyi, Opeyemi, Folake and Dayo, you are exemplary children. May God reward you generously for the excellent care you took of your father in his last years. You will receive more from your own children.
Foli, omo agbo d'ere n'Isheri, o d'igb'ose, O d'arin'na ko, o d'oju ala!"
"And today we had your funeral...im sure you're proud of us all.....❤ Rest in peace dad"
"May his gentle soul rest in peace in the Lord Jesus Christ! Adeniyi Sotayo & Family"
"Dearest Uncle Yinka,
Reading all your tributes has been very comforting to say the least. Your actions and the content of your character have indeed spoken louder than your voice. It is very difficult to deal with the fact that you are no longer with us physically. We wanted you to be here with us longer. We wanted you to bounce back from this being the resilient strong man of the family that you are but you did your best. You fought the good fight and you finished your course. We will remember you for your generosity, the many sleep overs at Wemabod. Trips to Big treat on Sunday after church, Saturday morning fellowship, buying delicious bread, lagos country club e.t.c. The memories are endless, which speaks volumes of your character. You taught us all how to be responsible and accountable by taking up responsibility at a young age. I remember from the many sleep overs at Wemabod, where you assigned everyone chores. It was fun to do as it was a valuable, learning and rewarding experience. We had fun times because you created an enabling environment for us to do so. You were a very principled man and an advocate for fairness. I remember when we pranked you on your birthday on April Fools in Wemabod with some burning palm oil(Seyi's doing). You woke up ready to put out the 'fake fire' and realized it was a prank and took it all as good fun. Looking through your pictures from Ope's wedding, you looked really happy Uncle, and I know it was a very proud moment for you amongst many others. I imagine you smiling from wherever you are. I know you are happy and still with us Uncle. We love you and will miss you very dearly."
What a loss. What a bewildering sadness.
We were waiting for our brother Stephen Yinka Odunfa to return to fellowship in our church society believing that the worst was over concerning his health challenges. Alas, it was not to be.
His Creator had a time-table invisible to us. He recalled the soul of our brother back to himself when we imagined the home-call was decades away. Now he has transited to join the saints in heaven and we are left with memories of him. Memories of a true gentleman, genial, accommodating and always ready to help even at noticeable inconvenience to himself.
We will always remember him for his roles in the parish (as Harvest Chairman, Building Committee Secretary, Auditor as well as Consultant for Admin & Financial Procedures at different times) and in our church society (Treasurer). We will remember that he was not given to being voluble in expression. Always a man of very few words but never failing to make his point. Many of us are still in shock. Our immediate individual reactions, when the news was broken on social media, are sampled below. May his soul find eternal rest in the bosom of the Lord.
Bro. Folahan Olumide, President Christian Guardians:
"Our brother struggled for life for a while, so we must trust that the Lord took him for a rest. May his soul rest in peace"

"We thank God for the life of our departed brother. This reminds all of us of our temporary sojourn on earth. We believe that God called him at his own time for reasons beyond our human understanding. It is well"

"I fondly referred to you as my Chairman. I would call from afar " My Chair, My Chair" and you would always respond with a smile and genuine warmth.
Bro Leye Kupoluyi & I were the Church Wardens, during the period of your stewardship as Church Auditor at The Anglican Church of Ascension (ACA) Opebi.
How could we ever forget your total commitment to the service of God during your tenure? You were a thorough bred professional and The Lord endowed you with uncommon wisdom. You gave your best talents, treasure and time to the church.
You would spend long hours to painstakingly and diligently check through the church records and account reports. The Lord surely remembers your labour in His vineyard and He would give you a crown to wear, now that you have finished your race.
It was such a surprise to learn of your transition.
How true the words of William Cowper when he wrote:
"Sometimes a light Surprises
The Christian while He sings
It is The Lord who rises
With healing in His wings"
We pray that The Lord would comfort your wife - Sister Adedotun, your children, their spouses, grandchildren and the entire family .
Femi & Foluke Dosumu"
This really is a tough one, words can't possibly describe it. I never thought I'll be writing this at my young age. But no worries dad, you raised one tough young man! Although it's not easy to accept this, I take solace in the fact that God works all things together for the good of His own.
You taught me everything I know. Everything I am, I owe to you. You were my career mentor, my confidant, my counselor, my friend and father. You were that one person who understood my 'last born tantrums' as a child. You weren't perfect but you were my role model. Words can't express how much I miss you...
Good night daddy, keep watch over us from heaven.
I love you"
"Word fail me but the reality is Uncle Yinka is gone!.
Gone from the troubles and challenges of this world.
You have answered the clarion call to be with the saints.
There in our solace lies.
I walk into the house hoping to hear 'Bawo ni' Tola as i kneel to say good evening Uncle.
I remember Sunday mornings of omelette and bread made by you while you hurry us up to get ready for church. I also remember Saturday morning devotions.
I remember you enrolling with myself, Ope & Folake for swimming classes at the Lagos Country Club. You even got me my first set of swimming costumes. You ensured I learnt how to drive by paying for an instructor. You equally ensured I attended confirmation classes so I can get married in an Anglican Church.
I remember the days i get reprimanded by Aunty Dot and how you'd quietly say 'o ti to Dotun'. You taught me how to say sorry and mean it.
I hold on dear to these memories and get consolation in the fact that you are now at rest.
Sun re O! Uncle Yinka"
"It is sad you left your love ones so soon. But we believe you have gone to rest with the Lord. May your gentle soul rest in peace.

"JOINT TRIBUTE FROM HIS BROTHERS - Mr Sola Odunfa, Engr Kunle Odunfa and Prof. Sunday Odunfa
Folorunso was the name so prophetically given to you by our father on 8th April 1951. Although your friends called you Yinka, but we call you Foli [a.k.a. Father Foli]! God has been faithful in taking care of you even till the time He called you home.
We remember our years together at Ebute-Ero when you were the baby of the family. We had to be careful when washing your clothes because we could not tell what would be in those pockets - nails,
pencil, or marbles! You were ever so busy and adventurous. Your gentle spirit and harmlessness were so apparent.
We can't forget the happy times we had after moving to Ibadan. Your escapades with Olubunmi and Sina earn you the nick-name 'the 3 stooges.' We had marvellous time with Segun, Kike, Idowu, Bose,
Gbemi, Tope, Peju and Kayode. How about those times when we would go to run round the Liberty Stadium practising field.
The years you spent at Loyola College and Government College, Ibadan made you more mature and drew you nearer to God and the Catholic Church. Hence your desire to go into the Holy Orders. You
even went so far as to add Stephen to your name - dropping Folorunso. But it wasn't to be so. This decision to become a priest earn you the nickname "Father Foli".
Folorunso went to the U. K. to study accounting after graduating from the University of Ife in 1974.
He became more realistic in his thinking and way of life. Until his homecall, Folorunso was a stickler to his ideas and value system. He loved all members of the family very dearly. His nephews and nieces found it easy to relate with him and so became their counsellor. We recollect the assistance he gave to one of the nieces who discovered at SS3 that she did not offer enough Social Science subjects to get admission for business studies in the University. Despite his busy schedule, Foli arranged a personal coaching for her to make up for the "shortfall" in the foundation to the subject. She had a distinction in the subject and even went further to graduate with first class in Accounting in the University.
We cannot forget how he brought life into the annual family Xmas party with his constant supply of fireworks for many years!
We thank God for giving him a stable family life through his marriage to Abiola Adedotun ( nee Odunsi), a dutiful wife, children and grandchildren.
He was an accomplished accountant and auditor. He worked for Nigerian Breweries, Owena Bank and Price Waterhouse before retiring and setting up his own firm S. Y. Odunfa & Co. He was the family's accountant.
With age, Folorunso's love for God and matters of God increased. God was very faithful. He upheld him to the end.
We, Odunfas, Ogunbanjos and Olunugas shall miss him dearly."
"Still haven't found the courage to call you Dayo, and am so sorry for the loss. May Almighty God console the while family and may his legacy live on..."
"May his gentle soul rest in peace. And may God comfort you Dayo and the entire family.
God bless The Odunfas. Amen
- Pastor B"
Dayo... I am sorry about your dad...
His passing away has been nothing but surreal to me. His face was all I could think about throughout the day I heard
I can probably count how many times I met your dad but he was always so awesome and I saw nothing but love respect and pride for him in your eyes no matter how many times you said " don't mind the man jare"
Through everyone of us, his memories will live on and always be cherished. And though he has left us in body... his legacy continues through everybody who knew and loved him.
I pray God grants your family peace."
"A rude shock it was to my face as i saw your dp this morning seyi and the next question was is this your dad still baffled as the answer was not coming i went back to the dp and saw this link then it dawned on me he is no more.
Seyi may GOD give you and your entire family the fortitude to bear the loss."
Oh death, where is thy sting?
Oh grave, where is thy victory?
But in every situation we must give thanks.
We love you but God loves you best.
Uncle Yinka, husband to my beloved sister, rest in perfect peace.
"Olayinka & Titobioluwa Ogunti
Although i have only known you for six years, being one of the newest members of the family and all; the impact you have had in my life has been extraordinary to say the least.
I still remember the first time we met like it was yesterday. I came to visit your beautiful daughter at your home and noticed you watching me through the window of your office for over fifteen (15) minutes before coming out to say hello. That was a scary moment.
I told my wife that I do not think you liked me and she assured me that with time I would realize that you were not much of a talker and you probably wanted to know if I was a serious person and not one of those irresponsible boys.
As time went on, we became really close. You mentored and provided me with invaluable advice on a wide range of issues and never told me anything was impossible. You taught me professional integrity, to be a man of my word and to do everything within my power to protect and provide for my family.
When Tito was born, the connection between both of you was instant. You were the only person she wanted to play with or even allowed to carry her. I promise to share stories of your unconditional love with her until she is fully grown.
I promise to also assume the responsibilities you have bestowed on me with pride and continue to listen to all the work stories your baby girl (Folakemi) shares with you every night and try my best to give feedback like you would.
You are a great man and I am proud to have had you as a father and a grandfather to our daughter.
Olayinka & Titobioluwa Ogunti"
"The Odunsi's
Dearest Uncle Yinka,
Your passing was sudden and has been very tough to deal with. However, we take solace in the fact that you are now resting with the Lord. We will remember you for the values you instilled in all of us and the legacy you left behind. You were an advocate for unity in the family. You were a generous disciplinarian, a man of many talents who gave great speeches. Looking back at the Summer holidays we spent at your house, you made sure we all participated in Saturday Morning fellowship and church activities on Sundays as you valued the importance of building a home with a foundation on God. You were the cool uncle that made sure we were comfortable in your home and even gave us extra pocket money. You were very keen on family and instilling values that will outlive you.
You commanded respect when you spoke and gave unparalleled advice as you were wise beyond your years. You were always thinking about others. Even on your sick bed, our mom informed us about how you would ask after each of us, our careers and our welfare.
Uncle, we will miss you dearly and your signature laughter and statement 'Tete se kia'. You will forever remain alive in our hearts. Thank you for being you and sharing your life with us.
Till we meet again......
Love always,
The Odunsi's"
"Mobolaji, Adebisi, Olubukunola & Funmilayo
In life, we get to choose our friends but we don't get to choose our family; God gives us our family. We are so grateful to God and feel so privileged to have had you, Uncle Foli as a part of our family and our lives.
You were daddy's younger brother so "technically" you were our uncle but you were so much more than that to us, you were our friend; Loving, trustworthy, very supportive, generous, a man of honour.
We hope you knew just how we respected and loved you. You are still greatly loved.
Thank you for all you were and for all you did.
You are simply unforgettable and irreplaceable.
Rest In Peace
Mobolaji, Adebisi, Olubukunola & Funmilayo"
Dear Dad,
As I write this tribute, lots of memories flood through my mind….. you teaching me to fly a kite, ride a bike and make an omelette with the sunny side up. You attending every PTA organized by my School and taking me for my Sunday School church rehearsals. I recall our Friday trips to either Lagos Country or Ikoyi Club, and you cheering me on during holiday swimming classes. I remember having panic attacks each time I was about to write an exam. You would encourage me, pray with me and hug me tight till I was forced to relax and smile. Right from my common entrance days till date, not minding the fact that I am now married with a child, you would still leave everything you are doing just to take me to write my exams. You would sit with me till it was time for me to go in, and when I came out of the exam hall, you would welcome me with a hug and refreshments; only for me to realize that you had waited for me throughout the duration of the paper.
You taught me to be a woman of virtue and integrity and you instilled in me a strong commitment to loved ones around me. With these in place, you walked me down the aisle and watched me say I do. While in labour for your grandchild Titobioluwa, you spoke to me, prayed for me and assured me that everything would be ok. You were my personal guidance counselor; mentoring me in my career and professional life. You taught me to be dogged, hard working and resilient. Indeed you were my greatest cheerleader.
Last week we celebrated your 65th birthday and when I was leaving, you touched my face and told me not to worry, that everything will be ok. Those were your last words to me, a silent promise that you may have left us in body, but in spirit you would always be close, watching my back like the guardian angel that you have always been.
Thank you for being the most incredible father any daughter could ever wish for. Thank you for reminding me everyday how much you loved me and how proud you are of me, making me exude confidence and pride no one could ever understand. I am truly honoured to be your daughter and I promise to continually make you proud.
I haven't quite come to terms with the fact that I would never have a conversation with you again. Who do I talk to everyday after work while stuck in traffic and on my way to pick Titobioluwa? Who do I call to chat with about work and life generally? Who would smile proudly at me and hug me close when I finally complete professional exams and become a Chartered Secretary?
Myself and Titobioluwa went into your room yesterday, and she asked after you. What do I tell her? How do we carry on without you? I miss you sorely; but God knows best. Rest in peace till we meet again in eternity. You remain forever in our hearts.

"Opeyemi Odunfa (SON)
Dear Daddy,
There are far too many words than can be expressed in a few paragraphs.
And this new reality that you are no longer physically here with us…is heartbreaking in more ways than words can express.
But I hold on to all the finer memories, and the consolation of faith – that this is not goodbye forever, so we will remain strong till we meet again.
Thank you for EVERYTHING.
You remain forever alive in my heart – My Father, My Confidant, My Mentor and My Rock.
Love you and miss you so…so…so…so…much.
The Lord gives and the Lord takes away, May the name of the Lord be praised.
Opeyemi Odunfa"
The reality that you are no longer a call away still seems like a myth.
However I take comfort in my faith, that indeed you are in a better place.
A place where one day we will meet again to part no more
A place where pain, sufferings and hurt do not exist.
I am grateful for the gift of the past 35years with you.
Your memories I will treasure till I am also no more.
I am grateful for the honor of having such a wonderful man as a father
Your teachings, advice and values will remain my anchor.
Thank you for being a father, friend and confidant
Thank you for always having my back and giving me a good home
Thank you for waiting for me, to say your final goodbye
Thank you for living up to your end of the bargain – to fight till the end
And just like in the words of Timothy,
You have fought a good fight and now finished your course
You have kept your faith till the end
Your future now is the crown of righteousness by the God you loved and served.
Till we meet again
Goodbye my dear dad, Stephen Yinka Odunfa
Oluseyi Odunfa"
"Tribute to my Husband, the love of my life ( ADEDOTUN ODUNFA)
Dear Yinka,
I have woken up every day waiting to realize that this is all a dream. I'm still waiting to hear your voice again as usual, but instead, all I hear are echoes of my own many mind boggling questions. It is hard to believe that you are gone, and no longer here to listen to my many untiring speeches, after which you would tease me saying that your wife is a 'parrot, who can talk for Africa'! Yinka, the pain is hard to bear, but the fruits of our lives together give me many reasons to be thankful.
Thank you for being an incredible husband, an amazing father and a loving grandfather. You have done well; Myself and the children are extremely proud of you. You have stood by us and fought for us in countless ways – providing, loving and being the sturdy reliable man that you have always been. You have stood strong till the end, and it is clear to see that you only left after you ensured that you left things in a good state.
Thank you for the many memories of a loving relationship. I think back about starting our married life together as a young couple – exploring places and growing up together. I remember lots of late night crawling - visiting our favorite beaches together, making plans for our family, and then the joys of settling down to nurture our young family. We have always been equally passionate about families and togetherness, so it was easy to respect and love your family, as you did same to mine. We were both fond of saying that, 'let there be love in our families', and we would fondly joke about how both our families together alone are enough crowd for a happy party!
Thank you for your diligent devotion to our children. You would always say that your children are your life's investment, so all of your toil and labour was invested in their future. You extended this same care to our nephews and nieces – also encouraging them to aim high with their education and professional careers. You would often joke about how a first degree is only a first step, and so firmly supported their endeavors at professional qualifications, postgraduate studies and entrepreneurial accomplishments.
Thank you for providing a real life example of hard work and excellence. You proved yourself to be an expert in your chosen career. You loved your accounting profession with such passion. You made me proud to be the wife of a seasoned auditor with your brilliant work experiences at Nigerian Breweries, UTC, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Omega Bank and your own private practice at SYO Management services. You worked tirelessly and I can't remember a day when you excused yourself from work or any official work duty. Even till these last days, you were ensuring that you delivered on your promises.
Thank you for being a praying husband. You loved and served God all of your life. You always explained how you appreciated priestly duties because you grew up with your uncle, Late Reverend Canon Ogunbanjo, and how that inspired you to commit to services as a lay reader within the Anglican Church. You would wake up early in the morning to study your Bible, and also nurtured a family that grew up praying together and so stayed together by praying together. I can see that God blessed your faithfulness, and also your final prayers of ensuring that you were among your family and loved ones at your final days.
I have many questions Yinka, and it is painful that we do not get to live our final dreams of retiring together to enjoy peaceful holidays together like we planned, but God knows best. Thank you my husband for everything – for being the love of my life and the father of our children and grand children. And I thank God that now you have gone to rest without anymore pains. So sleep on my dear husband and rest well in the boson of our creator. We love and miss you so much, but God loves you more.
Ma sun Olufe, Sun ko si ma sinmi; Gbe ori le aya olugbala re. A fe o sugbon Jesu fe o ju.
Sunre! Sunre! Sunre!

We attended 3 out of 4 Courses together during our Higher School Cert and we were 2 Classmate that attended his daughter's Wedding Introduction some years back and All Our Classmates just Celebrated his Birthday 3 weeks ago and wished him well in his surgical Recovery he went for in India.

"Sola Odunsi
May the soul of Yinka rest peacefully with his Creator."
"Dokun Fajemisin
Ehoro. February of what year? What a pity. May Yinka's gentle soul rest in perfect peace. He was a gentleman to the core. My heart goes to the family.
Adios mate"
"- Wale Odunaya (GCI)
Yinka you have fought the good fight of life. You have finished the race.
Our desire is that a crown of glory awaits you at the resurrection morn.
We pray for God's fortitude and protection over the family left behind. And we all be reminded that the clock is ticking for us all. Let us be adequately prepared to meet our Creator."
Dear Uncle, we never thought we would be writing this so soon after our mum passed. God knows best.
You were a big part of our childhood where you gave us some fantastic memories. We have fond memories of your house in Agege where planes used to fly so low every few minutes. We loved the noise and all the excitement that went with it.
Your unending supply of maltina, green sands shandy and of course the pile of fireworks every Christmas will never be forgotten.
I can still hear Mama's voice saying "O ti to"! but you were always smiling and would promptly light another rocket to the delight of your kids, nephews and nieces.
Thank you for the memories Uncle. You will never be forgotten and will always be in our hearts.
My journey with Yinka started way back in Birmingham as fellow students, which progressed further when he asked for the hand of my sister in marriage.
To me though, he was not an in-law but a blood brother, a friend and a confidant.
To my mum he was an additional son who could do no wrong in her sight.
To my family, he was a loving, simple, Godly and kindhearted individual who loved everyone he came in contact with.
Yinka was thoughtful, full of wisdom, integrity and good character. He loved and cherished his family and left behind the legacy of a good home, wife and children.
I have fantastic memories of a good relationship with Yinka like a lot of people and I pray he's remembered for these.
He will be really missed but I know we will meet again to part no more.
May the good Lord grant him eternal rest.
The Odunsis"
"-Tosin Odunfa
It seems all too easy to wallow in the doldrums of you departing and just as easy to stew in the sadness of the circumstances through which you made your exit. However it would indeed be a tragedy if we remained in that state for long. If we refuse to attempt to rise above the grief and pain, we may forget to remember that your life consisted of much more than the final act.
Your love for Aunty Dotun and dedication to your children was exemplary. You had an excellent academic and professional profile and you were a man of strong faith and purpose.
I, as a child (and I'm sure i can speak for the entire Lydia16) always felt a strong bond with you, perhaps because you always came across as youthful, or maybe because you were the 'baby' of our parents' household and we subliminally adopted you as the first of the grandkids. Turns out that the gap between you and even Uncle Shola, the eldest, was less than 10 years. I remember finding it hard to believe that Uncle Foli and Aunty Dots were now grandparents...the concept that that forever young couple now had a third generation felt surreal.
In recent years I felt connected to you for a different reason. You seemed like virtually the only one who had the depth of knowledge and the latitude to comprehend and properly critique my path in media from a business stand point. We had a few good conversations on this and I remember being able to flesh out one of my game plans during one of my visits to you last year. You were an important sounding board that I will dearly miss.
You stayed ever true to the Ogun anthem, 'Ise ya', and were a hard worker. I know that you pushed on really hard, and even in your last months you stayed working until it was physically impossible. I remember of course vividly how you worked assiduously early on in your career, I had a good view from spending many holidays with you, Aunty Dotun, the boys, Folake AND Chuck Noris. Ofcourse they weren't holidays for you, and you would leave before day break and return after we were fast asleep. You would however always make time to take us all out on Saturdays and we would have a swell time! That was Uncle Foli of Idi Mangoro; then Wemabod Estate, long before Houson Right and finally Casa de Mende.
On one of our relatively recent conversations, you analysed and contrasted the self employed life with paid employment and I could see a man who had lived a robust life. You were proud of your achievements and strides especially the strong legacy of education you had built in your children. Even when you mentioned that one project that the financial toll of the illness had thwarted, you spoke as though it was a temporary setback. You were a man of faith!
Christmas day from the beginning at Oke Ado was only complete after Uncle Foli had arrived from Lagos, with jolly Aunty Dots and the munchkins... Bisco and Banger! Need I say more? Even after our generation took over the responsibility of the annual fireworks, the signature warmth and love of that baritone gentleman and his amiable sidekick-for-life were not to be missed at the gathering. It was always great having you around Uncle Foli!
As I reminesce and come to a close, I descend into that feeling of loss, knowing that your life's glorious tale has now come to an end. However, I remember with joy, the two grand children whom you lived to cradle and I draw strength to remember not to forget, your whole story!
Stephen Yinka Folorunsho Odunfa was my father's brother and he lived a good life!
-Tosin Odunfa"
"Farewell, my dear Uncle Foli. Farewell for all the love we've had and memories we've shared.
Our loss is heaven's again. Join the saints triumphant and watch over us from above.
You are unforgettable and you are dearly loved.
You are pain free now Uncle. Good night Uncle. Sleep well; sleep tight!"
God saw you getting tired
and a cure was not meant to be,
So he put his arms around you
and whispered "Come to Me".
With tearful eyes we watched you,
as we saw you pass away.
Although we loved you deeply,
we could not make you stay.
Your Golden Heart stopped beating,
hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best.
Mr & Mrs Ayodele Odunsi"

D.O.M Destruction Of Mankind is created entirely by Dom. Self releasing an eight song EP entitled "Necktie for a Noose". Dom wrote, recorded, played all instruments and performed all the vocals on the EP, which was mixed and mastered at Laughing Dog Studios. Dom began taking drum lessons at an early age, and in his teens a friend gave him "A ratty old drum set that had a hi hat and one cymbal."He began to teach himself drums learning songs from his favorite band Guns N Roses and later Metallica. "They made me want to take my drumming and musical style to a new level." He then learned as many Metallica songs on drums as he could. Dom then sought a band to play with. He jammed with everyone he could, including Grey Skies Fallen, then known as Eve of Mourning. Due to different music styles, he soon moved on after recording their first demo together. He turned to the local clubs and music stores in search of musicians, he ran into his childhood hero Twisted Sisters' AJ Pero. Dom realized it was time to hone his craft and take some lessons. Dom studied with Pero for a few months, it was "a dream come true" for Dom. He finally found a band to play with, Bias which introduced him to hardcore music. They cut a few demos, played some shows and got radio play until creative differences led Dom to leave. Dom turned all of his focus to studying drums "I got into the great jazz drummer Buddy Rich and realized I needed to learn jazz because it's the hardest style of drumming to play." He took lessons at a local drum shop and met pro studio drummer Frank Bellucci who opened his eyes to what being a drummer was all about. Dom briefly hooked back up with Grey Skies Fallen during which he met drummer Rick Cash and got involved with jazz great Charlie Perry. Studying with them for the summer he got as much info as he could. He got a job in the city and built up his drum kit as well as more lessons from local jazz drummer John Soracco. The itch to play Metal and Hardcore came rushing back and Dom started the band Patience. They cut a four song demo and a seven song EP. They played shows and had radio play on WSOU 89.5 and opened for Biohazard. After Patience Dom kept to himself and played drums for two years. A friend took him to a Metallica show at Giants Stadium which made him realize he needed to get back to music. Rejuvenated, Dom looked to start something unique and solid that he could rely on. Dom decided to record an album and develop a band.
In January of 2004 Dom began to buy equipment, guitars, bass, a new drum kit, a mixing board, mics and everything else he would need to record an album, writing his first song, Preeminent, around that time. From January to May, Dom renovated his studio room. He spent a year teaching himself how to record and write songs and how to put an album together. Dom's blue goatee can be attributed to the inspiration of Dimebag Darrell, who was murdered in December of 2004. In early 2005 Dom consulted with Bill Donnelly at Laughing Dog Studios then spent the next few years in his studio writing and recording the songs for his album. It took two years to finish the music and until he was comfortable with the eight songs he had. Dom recorded the vocals for the songs from January until March 2008 and got into Laughing Dog Studios in April of 2008 to mix the album. It took from April 2008 until January of 2009 to finish the mix and mastering. In January of 2009 Dom's vision was nearly complete. "It was great to finally be done with the project. I know how hard it is for bands to put out quality music. I was not trying to be Metallica or Pantera. I was not trying to emulate anyone. I just wanted to be me. I am a self taught musician for the most part."
Due to financing issues it took Dom until July of 2009 to send the album to press. D.O.M Destruction Of Mankind "Necktie for a Noose" was released in August of 2009. Until it was pressed, Dom took to various social networking sites to promote his work. He sent out demo copies to prospective fans all over the world, in order to gain feedback on the music. Over the course of the project is where the entire concept of the album artwork, name, as well as the use of sampling throughout the EP comes from. "My interest in politics and world events is where the album art and title came from. It is vital that all government and world leaders are held to a high standard for doing what is right. Corruption and needless selfishness cannot be tolerated. Nor can the needless persecution of the innocents by considered elites be allowed. We must not be confused by conspiracy theories. But rather made whole by cracking a conspiracy and seeking the facts. The reason why I chose to use various samples is to bring a unique approach to the musical experience for the listener. As well as help the listeners understand the songs and complete the message on the album. With the assistance of a friend he finalized the artwork along with Bill Donnelly to find a place to press the album. It was in August of 2009 Dom's vision was finally complete. Having brought together a Demo EP Album fully pressed and ready for self release. Family obligations kept Dom from devoting any more time to the project until the beginning of 2010 when along with Bill's help, Dom sent press kits out to labels with no avail. Unwavering Dom continued to send out copies to reviewers, radio stations and labels throughout all of 2010, receiving mostly positive reviews, one of the major setbacks was record labels' reluctance to sign a solo artist. Dom used every possible internet outlet making his album available on all major digital distribution websites I tunes, Amazon, CdBaby.com to name a few. "It's great to have built this the way I have. The general message I get from labels is get a band together. It's too bad I can't find a label that is interested in building the band with me as well as recording more music. I would like to find a label to build the band around me and work with me in the studio taking the music to an insane level." In 2011 Dom finally launched his official website and continued to use social media to promote the EP as well as search for a label who believes in him to bring the music to the masses. In 2012 through the use of Reverbnation, Dom connected with Jason Zarnowski, the President, CEO & Owner of Turkey Vulture Records. After years of searching, Dom finally found a label that was interested in signing him. After a phone conversation in November of 2012, Dom and Jason worked out the deal. In May of 2013 Dom sent Jason the tracks to be mixed and mastered. Spending the next several months working on the project, Jason Zarnowski had finalized the album. Working out all the particulars, such as, album title, song arrangements and album cover. D.O.M "Reckoning" was set for release. On February 25th 2014 Dom inked a record deal with Turkey Vulture Records. All parties are very excited for the future of the new album. The new album "Reckoning" (mixed and mastered by Jason Z.) will be available worldwide through digital outlets everywhere through Turkey Vulture Records/Bungalo Records/Universal Music Group Distribution with a release date set for April 8, 2014.

Volunteering with the Looe Marine Conservation Group is interesting, fun, sociable, rewarding and educational.
Public events and education
Engaging people in our work and inspiring them to learn about the shore is key to what we do. We run a full programme of public events including rock-pooling, walks, talks, explorations of the estuary, seal spotting boat trips, arts and craft sessions. These year round events attract people of all ages and from a wide range of backgrounds. We have a presence at key annual festivals in Looe such as the RNLI Festival of the Sea and regularly run sea shore exploration events for schools and community groups such as the Scouts and Brownies.
Where possible we engage with local marine users teaming up with the glass-bottomed pleasure boats to run expert-guided trips to see the seals and link with local fishermen to run events about sustainable fishing and crabbing.
We have produced a hugely-popular leaflet about crabs featuring local children's art to encourage everyone to treat crabs carefully and aiming to inspire people to learn more about these remarkable animals. The leaflet has been so successful that other groups in the county are also using it.
Looe's Inspiring Seashore Project
In 2012-13, a grant from the East Cornwall Local Action Group is funding a key project to run an exciting programme of events attracting visitors to South East Cornwall. See What's On for the full events programme.
To support this exciting project, the grant is funding:
- A Looe Marine Conservation Group website
- Event promotional display material: gazebo, display boards, banners, volunteer t-shirts, sail flags,
- Equipment: underwater camera, hand lenses, first aid kits, basic ID books, microscope
- First Aid Training
- Publications:
Wildlife leaflet & event programme
Marine walking trail and activity
Children's activity booklet
The project will be widely promoted via
- Tourist information centres, local businesses, community centres
- Looe: VMCA website, Looe online directories and web resources
- Social networks
- Cornwall Wildlife Trust media support
No knowledge is necessary to become a useful volunteer! But one of the great benefits is that there are some amazing opportunities to learn about the marine environment and conservation by joining us eg attending marine identification skills courses at the Marine Biological Association in Plymouth. Training events include rocky shore training. We also work with the Cornwall Wildlife Trust to train volunteers in the use of 'Shoresearch' survey methodology in order to run detailed studies of our shore area.
Seal surveys
Our volunteers support the Cornwall Seal Group, carrying out monthly surveys based on Looe Island. Pairs of volunteers observe and record the seals present, take photographs to identify individual seals and keep notes on seal behaviour. This work is providing vital evidence about seal numbers, behaviour and movement that will be used to inform conservation activities.
Bird surveys
Alongside the monthly seal surveys, our volunteers conduct a regular survey of the birds present around Looe Island. The information collected is important to monitor numbers of both land and sea bird species.
Intertidal surveys and recording
The marine environment has not been well recorded in the past and by developing our skills and submitting regular information, we can pick up trends, monitor invasive species and feed in to conservation planning and policy decisions. The group regularly submits records to the Environmental Records Centre for Cornwall and Isles of Scilly (ERCCIS), which feed into national recording schemes. We organise formal surveys such as an annual intertidal survey on Looe Island and also submit records from our public events..
Gull ringing
There are around 70 breeding pairs of Great black-backed gulls on Looe Island. This is a species which is declining nationally for unknown reasons. Our volunteers are working with the Cornwall Birdwatching Group to ring gulls. This enables us to monitor their progress and distribution and identify behaviours and changes. Around 140 gulls have been ringed so far and gulls from Looe Island have been sighted as far afield as the Channel Islands and France.
A joint project between Looe Marine Conservation Group volunteers, Newquay College and the University of Plymouth has confirmed the presence of a large seagrass bed within the VMCA area. Seagrass is a flowering plant and provides a very special habitat in the sheltered shallows. Seagrass is well-known to be a vital breeding and nursery ground for many fish species and many other species, including seahorses, live in areas of seagrass. Further work is now needed to map the seagrass bed in more detail, to survey the species and to ensure this delicate ecosystem is protected from damaging activities.

As you should now know, every Youth Football League, every Youth Football Club and any Club that has players under the age of 18 or vulnerable adults, MUST have a qualified Welfare Officer in place. This means that they must be FA CRB cleared every 3 years and have attended both a Safeguarding Children and Welfare Officer Workshop.
Please think about this if you are giving up your role at the end of this season, as any new person will need time to meet the requirements and your Club will not be able to affiliate without them.
It is vital that a Club Welfare Officer has a place on the Management Committee of their Club and are involved in any decisions made with regard the Welfare of their players and the Club.
Likewise, the role of Welfare Officer can be very time consuming and sometimes emotionally challenging. It is strongly recommended that Clubs look to appoint more than one Welfare Officer, if they have more than six teams or at the very least, appoint Welfare Assistants.
For more information, please contact Beryl Richardson by email: email@example.com
