In Nigeria, Lagos State has peculiar attributes that have enabled it to transcend its status as one of the 35 other geographical expressions in the country known and addressed as states. It is a city state with a larger than life size image which has, unwittingly, qualified it as a mega city.
A sprawling city that is almost bursting at its seams with a large and growing population estimated at 20 million, Lagos by this sheer number has very big market opportunities, making it an investment hub and the largest commercial city in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Ogun State, Lagos' closest neighbour, is benefitting immensely from this proximity and it is such that the state is fast developing and also growing exponentially as an investment hub.
A close look at the two 'cities' shows that, though Lagos remains a destination for some classes of investors, Ogun, now identified as a greenfield, is a preferred destination for new investors, especially those in manufacturing and real estate which require large space.
Government authorities in Ogun would readily tell whoever cares to listen that they are not in any way in competition with Lagos but, from all indications, the state is in a very subtle way 'stealing the show' from Lagos as it has come up with some incentives that has made it irresistible to investors.
The state has identified land as an important part of production process that every investor needs to make investment happen and has therefore come up with highly favourable land administration which, in the last two to three years, has attracted investment in estate development, agro-allied industries, foods and beverages, chemicals and pharmaceuticals, iron and steels, non-metallic and mineral products, wood and furniture, pulp, paper and packaging.
In Ogun, investors get rebates on land, good road network and better security of plants, machinery and assets in industrial zones while certain types of taxes paid by these investors in Lagos are also accepted by the state, thus preventing them from paying multiple levies in two states. For real estate developers, obtaining building permit, property registration and title documentation do not take forever while they don't have to break the bank till to pay for all of these
It is pertinent to note that these incentives and favourable business environment are paying off. Available record shows that out of the N180.12 billion invested in the whole of manufacturing and agro-allied industries in Nigeria, in the first six months of 2015, N128.3 billion went to Ogun, representing 71.23 percent while the Ikeja and Apapa industrial zones got N15.74 billion and N6.98 billion respectively.
It is interesting to note too that, in 2014, investors pumped in N691.77 billion into the economy out of which N514.87 billion went to Ogun, hence 74.42 percent of all the investments were directed to the state. Apapa and Ikeja in Lagos contributed N15 billion and N85 billion in investments, representing 15 percent of the total within the same period.
In terms of output, Ogun turned out N265.27 billion in half year 2015 as against Lagos' N88.6 billion. Similarly, the state produced goods worth N306.58 billion in the whole of 2014, while Lagos churned out goods worth N274.41 billion within the same period. All these are the kind of developments we canvass in the states now when the luxury of monthly allocation from Abuja is fast fading out and even where it comes, it is hardly enough to take care of civil servants wage bill, leading to social unrest.
We recognize and really appreciate efforts by the Lagos State government to attract more investments to the state, but it needs to do much more, especially in the area of infrastructure.
The Babatunde Fashola administration in the state did a lot to improve on both infrastructure and environment, but came up with land and tax policies too stringent to encourage investment. The situation in the state is further compounded by the uncontrolled activities of touts who have formed a parallel government and go about collecting all manner of levies from businesses.
We acknowledge the good strides of the new government in the state in opening up the state through roads infrastructure upgrade, but advise that more needs to be done on its land administration and tax policies to make them more investor-friendly than they are at the moment.

You should use isopropyl alcohol, it's 90% alcohol and drys very quickly. I usually dunk a q-tip in, tap it against the bottle to remove any excess, then clean the surface. As long as your not pouring the alcohol directly onto your electronics you'll be fine.

DBVis at some point stopped recognising option key presses. I have rebound the key bindings I use frequently and this has addressed the issue (see screenshot attached).
When pressing an option key it appears to think that 2 option keys are being pressed, therefore the standard keybindings no longer function. This occurs on the wireless mac keyboard and the builtin keyboard on the Mac laptop.
However DBVis appears to reset the key bindings, seemingly at random. I cannot remember a common action which results in the key bindings reseting. Additionally this happens when creating and saving custom key bindings as well as editing the saved configurations.
Whilst not a huge problem, having to rebind these common key bindings once or twice a week is very annoying.
This seems to be a bug in Java 11 (and Java 12). The confirmed workaround is to revert to use Java 8.
Once Java 8 is installed run the following in a terminal window to verify:
setenv JAVA_HOME `/usr/libexec/java_home -v "1.8*"` ; setenv JDE_JAVA_HOME "$JAVA_HOME/.."; set path = ( "$JAVA_HOME"/bin $path ) ; java -version /Applications/DbVisualizer.app/Contents/java/app/dbvisgui.sh
Start DbVisualizer and open Help->About and verify that the Java version is 1.8.x.
(Opening the DbVisualizer.app always use the bundled Java 11 which we already know is broken.)

97.1 the Ticket's Jamie and Stoney had an interesting debate this morning, wondering which athlete has been the most beloved in Detroit sports history:
Detroit Tigers fans have waited 17 years for Alan Trammell to make it into the Hall of Fame.
"I'm thrilled that both are getting in at the same time," Jamie Samuelsen said, adding that no one would argue that Trammell is the best Detroit athlete of all time.
But is he the most beloved in history?
Co-host Mike "Stone" Stone answered: Alan Trammell and Steve Yzerman are the most beloved athletes he can remember seeing in Detroit.
He added that Trammell is special and so beloved, despite his lack of ability as manager, because people just don't hold the manager years against him.
"Yzerman and Trammell are the two in my mind," Stoney said.
Continued, and I'd argue that Steve Yzerman may be the most beloved Red Wing this side of Gordie Howe, but that's just my opinion.
Who do you feel has been the most beloved Red Wings player?

نویسندگان [English]
Issiso hot springs are located 70 km of North of Urmia, within the northernmost part of the Sanandaj–Sirjan zone. The basement of study area is comprised by precambrian metamorphic rocks that consist of gneiss, schist and amphibolite are overlain by younger sediments. The boron concentration in the study area thermal waters is up to 451 mg/l. The warm waters of the region belong to the type of Na-(SO4)-HCO3. The Na/Cl ratio is more than 1 and B/Cl ratio is 0.37. It reflects the impact of specific geological phenomena in formation of rocks. Up to now there is no any geological study of the origin boron in this area. The main aim of this study is to determine geological factor(s) creating this high concentration which caused many environmental problems in the region. In this study it is determined that penetration meteoric water, heated by the deep intrusive magmatic bodies and then rises up with magmatic waters. At high levels, these waters collect in reservoirs including metamorphic host rocks and caused leaching of boron bearing mineral phases. The boron bearing water reaches the surface through faults. Part of the contamination water appears in the form of hot springs and another part through the faults caused spread contamination around the areas. This study shows that high boron contents in the Issiso thermal waters can be attributed to: 1) unstable boron bearing mineral phases same of muscovite, tourmaline, biotite and hornblende in the metamorphic rocks such as gneiss and mica schist, and 2) input of boron-bearing magmatic fluids, related to young volcanic activities. Due to the high temperature play a large role in leaching the boron from the path rocks, it is estimated that high content of boron in Issiso springs may indicate the presence high potential of reservoirs of hot water in depths of earth and also the presence of rocks with high boron content in the path of rising waters.

While September came with some expected results, it even witnessed a couple of significant developments in the TLD space. Through the month of September, .SCIENCE, .XYZ and .PARTY held their Top 3 positions from August with a percentage share of 23, 9 and 7, respectively, making .SCIENCE the most popular TLD for 7th month in a row! .FAITH and .DATE also made it to the list of Top 15 for the first time since their launch in July this could be due to the amazing promo price of just $1.49 for both.
While .SCIENCE & .PARTY saw a marginal growth increase of 0.01% and 0.02%, respectively since August, it's interesting to note the 13.76% growth increase in .XYZ registrations. This mammoth increase could be attributed to the Internet giant, Google launching their newest venture, Alphabet Inc. on the .XYZ extension. According to Daniel Negari, CEO of .xyz, prior to Google's announcement, there were 3000 registrations on an average per day. Post the announcement, domain registrations per day have accelerated, with approximately 10,000 occurring on Aug. 14 alone, said Negari. This trend seems to have only continued in the month of September, reflecting in the growth increase.
.ONLINE was launched in the tail end of August and despite being a slightly more expensive TLD than others, it has done phenomenally well throughout September, indicated the steep demand for it. The launch day itself saw a whooping 37,544 registrations, a major milestone for new top level domains (TLDs).
Here's a glimpse of the report for this month with the Top 15 TLDs.
*Registration Numbers facilitated by ResellerClub
We predict .ONLINE may still feature in the Top 15 list for October as well.
Which TLDs do you expect to see in October? Let us know in the comments section below.

Jackson, who examined Trump last Friday and declared him to be in "excellent health," offered more information in Tuesday's White House press briefing, where he listed the medications Trump takes. In addition to Propecia, Trump, 71, takes Crestor for his cholesterol, a daily aspirin for heart health and a multivitamin. Trump's hair has been the subject of scrutiny for decades, with some speculating that it's a wig. Trump has repeatedly insisted his hair is real, and once even invited a woman onstage to personally see for herself during a campaign rally. In "She often described the mechanics behind it to friends: an absolutely clean pate — a contained island after scalp-reduction surgery — surrounded by a furry circle of hair around the sides and front, from which all ends are drawn up to meet in the center and then swept back and secured by a stiffening spray," Wolff wrote in the book. tretinoin cream buy online australia You are the marketing director of Propecia, a new drug for hair restoration that's about to hit the market. How about attempting to influence the wives or barbers of balding men? But the drug can only be purchased via a physician's prescription. All these issues and more faced Tom Casola, who in 1997 was heading the Propecia marketing effort for the drug maker Merck & Co. The case was discussed by audience members at the 5th Annual Alumni Healthcare Conference on November 6, 2004; HBS assistant professor Marta Wosinska led the conversation. The Propecia launch came at a time of regulatory change, which made advertising of prescription drugs to consumers more feasible. But Casola had to consider three limitations on such advertising: In addition to marketing directly to consumers, Casola would also consider strategies for Merck's more traditional marketing channel of selling direct to physicians, using the company's army of field representatives. The problem of so-called "detailing" to physicians was that the sales reps have literally a few minutes or even seconds to pitch directly to the doctor, and are selling three Merck drugs at a time. Given the Food and Drug Administration's advertising restrictions, what kind of advertising should Merck pursue, Wosinska asked the audience: product claim, reminder, or help-seeking?

These include less desire for sex, difficulty in achieving an erection, and a decrease in the amount of semen. These side effects went away in men who stopped taking PROPECIA because of them. In addition, these side effects decreased to 0.3% of men or less by the fifth year of treatment.suggests the rate of dysfunction is a lot higher and that in some cases men are permanently hobbled by erectile dysfunction or loss of libido even after stopping the drug.

There are many worlds awaiting our discovery, but first we must discover those closest to home, inside the self, in the body. Discovering a new world requires breaking through a barrier of perception formed by walls of the familiar world we've come to know and love, or hate, but in either case cling to, for the comfort of the known, the consistent, the people we can count on, the things our sanity and security can safely rest upon.
When we encounter a trigger we are really being offered an invitation to discover a new world, close to home. Triggers are ushers, potential awakenings, stirrings from the Spirit to explore beyond our known world. This is the journey of recapitulation.
To leave the world of the known is always a challenging affair. We are confronted with having to assemble the details of this unknown frontier into a graspable world. Then the challenge is to remain cohesively in it, allowing ourselves to experience the reality and full truth of it. Ultimately we are challenged with merging the world of everyday life with that of our newly discovered experiences.
When, for instance, we turn our awareness to sensations or pains in our body, and suspend the familiar judgments of the known world that identifies them as indigestion, infection, or muscle fatigue, our body might suddenly be ushered into the memory of another time and place filled with frightening images, powerful emotions and painful sensations. Can we allow ourselves to stay in that world and discover the full story or will the energy of this encounter be so overpowering that we quickly shut it down and return to the security of the known world, dismissing the journey as but a strange daydream? So powerful is the pull to stay confined within the familiar walls of everyday life that we may not only never discover the fullness of who we are and where we've been, but we may never tap into the fullness of our potential, the world where everything is possible.
When we shift worlds and remain cohesively in them we discover hidden treasures. In recapitulation we reunite with lost worlds of the self. Beyond recapitulation we tap into the magical potential of the self. In The Second Ring of Power on page 106, Carlos Castaneda asks don Juan how he might help a mortally ill dear friend in the hospital. Don Juan replies:
"…You can cure her and make her walk out of that death trap," he said.
"How?" I asked him.
"It's a very simple procedure," he said. "All you have to do is remind her that she's an incurable patient. Since she's a terminal case she has power. She has nothing to lose anymore. She lost everything already. When one has nothing to lose, one becomes courageous. We are timid only when there is something we can cling to."
Don Juan offers advice to free this woman from her attachment to this world, and her disease, using the boost of her pending death as a catalyst to enter another world where everything is possible, where she has the potential to completely heal.
Once we have learned the art of shifting into other worlds—through recapitulating and discovering the magic of the unknown self—and are able to maintain cohesion in those worlds, we are further freed to explore infinity. Ultimately, the treasures and magic we uncover and integrate, as we follow our triggers and ushers into unknown worlds, provide the skills that enable us to volitionally travel freely into ever-new awakenings in infinity.

Pharmaca in the Community
Local Initiatives
Each December Pharmaca stores facilitate a Holiday Gift Bag Donation program, offering customers an opportunity to purchase much-needed wellness products that are hand-picked for a chosen charity in each store's community. Those charities can range from women's shelters to halfway houses to YMCAs. In 2016, across 29 stores, Pharmaca was able to deliver more than $112,000 worth of wellness goods to needy charities.
Since 2004, Pharmaca has been a proud partner of Vitamin Angels, a non-profit organization that raises funds to help at-risk populations in need–specifically pregnant women, new mothers and children under 5–gain access to life saving and life-changing micronutrients. Donations to Vitamin Angels go toward distribution of prenatal vitamins, vitamin A and children's multivitamins, which help increase immunity and boost overall health to increase these populations' chances for health and success.
In addition to the Vitamin Angels donations cards always available at the register (ask a Pharmaca Team Member if you can't find them), Pharmaca runs several special promotions each year to encourage customer donations. We're proud to say that through the generosity of our customers, over the years we have been able to donate more than $78,000, reaching 82,873 children and adults in the US and 49 other countries. We hope that you'll help us contribute to our growing contribution next time you're at a Pharmaca store!

Kourtney Kardsahian & Scott Disick Wedding Finally after Rehab? The Truth
Now that Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick are back together does this mean that wedding bells are in their future? HollywoodLife.com spoke to a source who tells us that Kourtney has never been "more proud" of Scott and that she's "really happy." So could these two be tying-the-knot?
Kourtney Kardashian, 36, and Scott Disick, 32, are giving things another try, HollywoodLife.com has EXCLUSIVELY learned! But now that Kourtney has welcomed Scott back into their family and forgiven him, does this mean he'll finally pop the question? We have the answer!
"They're not talking kids and marriage isn't on the horizon anytime soon." a source tells HollywoodLife.com. "They are 100% back together. Kourtney is really proud of him and happy right now." The insider also tells us that Kourtney, who used to not talk about Scott while she was angry after pictures surfaced of him with Chloe Bartoli in July of 2015 in France, is back to talking about him around the kids. "She didn't talk about him all summer, now she talks about all the stuff they are doing and talks about Scott in front of the kids."
The source also tells us that despite reports that Scott is back to his partying ways because he's hosting a big New Year's Eve party at 1 Oak in Las Vegas, is simply not true. "Scott owes [1OAK] an appearance because he cancelled a bunch over the past 5 months," our source tells us. "They've talked about this [appearance] and Kourtney is okay with it. It's undecided if she'll go, but you better believe he'll be closely watched regardless." Will he keep doing club appearances after this? "It depends how this goes … He is planning his life for after the Kardashians is [over one day]. Pursuing real estate and other things."
Are they going to try for more kids now that they are "No way! Not right now, three is enough!" our source tells us. "They're not talking kids and marriage isn't on the horizon anytime soon." Also, Scott isn't done bettering himself. "He's still seeking help," the source adds. We're glad to hear that!
HollywoodLifers, are you happy they are back together? Sound off below!

Review: Toronto's Soulpepper fills Stoppard classic with energy, flair
Jeff Cottrill
Feb 14, 2013 in
- "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead" is a play in danger of becoming overly familiar, another "modern classic" ruined by time and too many revivals. It takes an energetic cast and vision to make Tom Stoppard's great tragicomedy seem new again.
Happily for Toronto theatre-goers, the
company specializes in fresh, entertaining takes on old warhorses. And its new production of
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern
– the topsy-turvy re-imagining of William Shakespeare's
that put British playwright Stoppard
on the map
in 1966 – is funny, fast-paced and never dull. Thanks largely to heartfelt performances by Ted Dykstra and Jordan Pettle in the title roles, plus Joseph Ziegler's often vibrant direction, it keeps up with Stoppard's constant linguistic gymnastics with few major stumbles.
Basic familiarity with
is a great help in appreciating Stoppard's meta-theatrical play, which presents the Bard's famous tragedy through the eyes of
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern
, two throwaway bit parts in the original. Lost, confused and completely out of step with the main action, this Abbott-and-Costello-like duo kills time "offstage" with word games, coin tosses, philosophical discussions and role-playing as they try to understand what their purpose in the story is. They even confuse their own names at times.
Along the way, they confront the acting troupe from
's turning point, while also appearing in or witnessing overlapping scenes from Shakespeare, situations that look utterly absurd from their point of view. As much as it rethinks Shakespeare,
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern
also reworks Samuel Beckett's
Waiting for Godot
– this time with a lingering dramatic irony, as the audience already has the scoop on what's really going on, fully aware that the characters are doomed by the machine.
Despite a few evident cuts to the text – Guildenstern's "Give us this day our daily _____" refrain is strangely absent – this
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern
gleefully indulges in Stoppard's witty, intelligent language, which blends quick comedic wordplay with serious existential questions. Dykstra and Pettle take on Stoppard's dialogue with ease and enthusiasm while building on the characters with broad strokes (Pettle makes Guildenstern smart, well-spoken and suspicious; Dykstra's Rosencrantz is more naive, emotional and dimwitted, whining "I want to go home!" when things get confusing). In some scenes, such as when the pair bickers or plays Questions, both of them lob words back and forth as furiously as if they were playing a hyper, high-speed ping pong game. But the play doesn't rely solely on talk; Ziegler keeps them active and moving around the stage, frantic and on edge with uncertainty or paranoid about what's coming next.
Ziegler, a Dora-winning veteran actor who also
for Soulpepper in 2009, presents the play as theatre in the round, turning the stage into a trap where
characters and scenes assault Rosencrantz and Guildenstern from all directions. This arena format works well as a thematic strategy – creating a more unpredictable space, as opposed to the fixed boundaries of the proscenium arch or thrust stage – while also succumbing to the form's typical limitations, with actors often speaking with their backs to a quarter of the audience or blocking other actors. But Ziegler makes up for the sometimes awkward staging with a high energy level. Whenever the Players (led by Kenneth Welsh) take the stage, you're treated to some colourful, finely choreographed reenactments of
The Murder of Gonzago
(which turns out to be a version of
Rounding out the leads, Welsh adds a kind of distanced authority as the lead Player, taunting Rosencrantz and Guildenstern with his company's nonchalant attitude towards death and giving the impression he has inside information that the leads lack. The always reliable Diego Matamoros and Nancy Palk are more than adequate in their brief turns as Claudius and Gertrude. Gregory Prest makes for a dull, one-note Hamlet, but since he's really just a bit part here, that doesn't matter so much; it might even be deliberate and part of Ziegler's intentions. The same goes for William Webster's take on Polonius, which has little of the doddering, comic cluelessness we're used to seeing in the character.
The production isn't without its small hiccups. The follow-up lines to Dykstra's shout of "Fire!" (when he decides to show off "the misuse of free speech") are mistimed; his reaction to the audience's lack of panic should be one of the play's funnier meta moments. And there's an odd interlude in the third act when the characters are hiding in three barrels and the lights dim, allowing for two stagehands to walk on hurriedly and remove one barrel, thereby spoiling the effect of its "disappearance" in the next scene. (Maybe they couldn't figure out a safe way to remove it in total darkness?)
Minor defects aside, Soulpepper's
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead
is good enough that even people who've seen or read the play numerous times will enjoy it anew. And even if you haven't read
since high school, Stoppard's high-brow sense of farce and love of language (as the cast delivers it) will still infect you.
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead
runs at Toronto's Young Centre for the Performing Arts until March 2.

Electrical Wizard: How Nikola Tesla Lit Up The WorldConsumer Rating
- Number of Pages: 40
- Languages:
- English (Unknown)
- English (Original Language)
- English (Published)
Move over, Thomas Edison! Established biographer Elizabeth Rusch sheds light on this extraordinary figure, while fine artist Oliver Dominguez brings his life and inventions to vivid color. By the time he was a teenager, he had made a vow: Someday I will turn the power of Niagara Falls into electrical energy. Here is the story from the ambitious young man who brought life-changing suggestions to America, regardless of the obstructive efforts of his hero-turned-rival, Thomas Edison. Remote controls, fluorescent lights, X-rays, speedometers, cell phones, even the radio — all resulted from Nikola Tesla's inventions. Nikola Tesla takes the spotlight inside a biography with the man who pioneered modern electrical engineering — and altered the course of history. From using alternating present to light up the Chicago World's Fair to harnessing Niagara to electrify New York City and beyond, Nikola Tesla was a revolutionary ahead of his time. When a Serbian boy named Nikola Tesla was three, he stroked his cat and was enchanted by the electrical sparks.

Dear Journal,
I suppose I shouldn't be surprised at the fact that it has been weeks since I have heard from Josie. She said that she wanted to come back to Dalaran for a visit and I believed her. Something must have happened to change her mind or something because I haven't heard a word from her. I haven't really heard a word from her since we met on the pier and Harrier was there making his usually insults and so on. I know I behaved badly when I walked away from it all, however, I was taught that I should respect my elders and not be impolite even if they were acting in a manner that wasn't respectful of me. Oh well, guess she was upset that I left, I don't know.
I know that I have been busy lately and haven't had time to even go over in the vicinity of the shop here in Stormwind. I did used to walk by occasionally in hopes that she would be outside taking a break or something but that never happened. If I had my wits about me, I would just chalk it up to an experience and forget about it; however, I did like her a lot and still do.
It has gotten to be a habit of mine lately of going to Iron Forge every weekend with the Bitterbeers and just sitting there while everyone else gets absolutely silly drunk. I learned my lesson the last time that I went with them and go so drunk that it took me almost three days to feel normal again. I might drink enough to get a little buzz going, you know, where your nose tingles and your ears start feeling warm which is the time that I just know it's time for me to stop hoisting the flagon. I've met a few interesting people during the visits there and a few of the women have taken to me or my habit of buying them a beer every now and again.
Of course, when it gets to be too noisy and warm in the tavern, I usually make my way to the Wailing Caverns and just sit there and watch the little murloc put on his top hat and give his little show every few minutes. Little fellow definitely enjoys his dancing and I do too. I'll have to bring Vashlan up here sometime so he can get a laugh at that because I know he'd like it too. It's a little thing but it's still amusing.
I've actually been so busy working that I haven't even had a chance to run into anyone else that I know in Stormwind. Guess we're all real busy or we're all voiding one another, I don't know. I know that the business is keeping me hoping and I do have a lot more contracts to fill than anyone else that works here.
I guess I ought to give it one more try and write to Josie and send some more flowers to her to see if I get any kind of response and if I don't get one, that will be the end of that. I really thought she liked me for myself too, guess I was wrong and it won't be the first time.
Dear Josie,
I had hoped to hear from you some time ago and still haven't. The invitation to Dalaran is still very much open and I am sure that my parents would still like to meet you although it's been weeks since we have seen one another. They always like to meet my friends.
I hope that things are going well for you and your job. I am assuming that your employers are keeping you rather busy and that's one of the reasons that I haven't heard from you at all.
I hope that you liked the flowers that I have been sending to you from time to time because I haven't even gotten a thank you note or anything from you. If you'd rather not see me, please let me know and I will stop writing or sending flowers because it must be embarrassing for you if your feelings aren't the same as mine.

Our event of the day is the Premier League fixture between Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur at the Etihad Stadium. The two teams meet after an incredibly memorable match in the Champions League earlier in the week. Spurs brought City's quest for the quadruple to an end in a thrilling match that saw the London team go through on away goals after a seven-goal game. Now City turns their focus to the league. With everything to play for, this is a match you won't to miss. There will be no love lost between these two sides when they meet in Manchester this lunchtime. This crucial Premier League match comes three days after the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final. The match was a tense back-and-forth affair, but City took a 4-2 lead in the 58th minute, meaning they led on 4-3 on aggregate.
However, things changed after a 73rd minute deflection off Fernando Llorente put Spurs back in control on away goals. That was until a poor clearance dropped the ball in front of Sergio Agüero in the 93rd minute. After a little header to push the ball into the box, Agüero put the ball across to an open Raheem Sterling, who slotted it past Hugo Lloris to put City back on top. The Etihad erupted, Pep Guardiola was jumping for joy and it looked like City were about to pull off a comeback to remember. Then the call came down to Cüneyt Çakir, the chief official. Agüero was ruled offside and the subsequent goal disallowed. The sound died in the stadium as City deflated, crushed beyond belief. Ninety seconds later, the final whistle blew and Manchester City was officially eliminated from the Champions League, ending their hopes of completing the quadruple. However, they can still complete the treble. Having already won the Caraboa Cup and set to play Watford in the FA Cup final. They will become the first English team to complete the domestic treble since Arsenal Ladies in 2007 if they can manage it. However, albeit with a game in hand, Manchester City find themselves two points behind current league leaders Liverpool. City are on a nine-game winning streak in the league and look to make it ten. Meanwhile Spurs, who are currently third, bounced back from a two-game losing streak to win their last two league matches. This match is going to tense, hard-fought and without mercy. It's one that you won't want to miss.
Honourable mentions around the globe go to the NHL. The St Louis Blues host the Winnipeg Jets at Scottrade Center for game six of their first round playoff series. The Blues, who lead the series 3-2, are one win away from progressing to the second round. This is despite the Blues squandering a 2-0 lead in the series. Meanwhile, the Jets will aim to even the series and force a game seven. Be sure you don't miss the exciting, high quality hockey on display tonight. Elsewhere, in the AFL, Melbourne host St Kilda at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. In the MLB, the Tampa Bay Rays look to continue their hot start to the season as they host the struggling Boston Red Sox to Tropicana Field. In boxing, Amir Khan fights Terence Crawford for the WBO World Welterweight Title at Madison Square Garden in New York. In the European Rugby Champions Cup, Saracens host Munster at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry for their semi-final match.
Whatever you're watching, enjoy!

Rhulani Manzini credits Chippa United coach Larsen for his revival in form
Chippa United striker Rhulani Manzini, who has been instrumental in the team's recent good run, says he owes much of his success to coach Clinton Larsen.
Manzini, 30, slotted in the goal that knocked former African champions Mamelodi Sundowns out of the Nedbank Cup recently.
It was only his second goal for the team this season but he maintains he is in high spirits and determined to net more.
"The coach came in and gave me confidence. He is a man of integrity and he believes in our abilities. That has rubbed off on us... to believe in ourselves as well," Manzini said.
"As a striker you have to score and that is how we are judged. I believe in myself and I believe that with a good performance I can score more goals for the team.
"The confidence level is high in the team since the coach came in. He changed a lot of things."
Manzini returned to Chippa last season after he left in the previous one in a swap deal that saw defender Ayabulela Konqobe join the PE side.
The former Platinum Stars striker, who has struggled with injuries in recent seasons, said he was happy with the fact that he has had a clean bill of health so far this season.
Chippa are faced with another must-win fixture as the club fights to lift itself out of the bottom four of the Premier Soccer League table.
The Chilli Boys travel to face Free State Stars on Saturday at Goble Park (6pm).
They e have been unbeaten in three matches since the arrival of Larsen, with their most recent result being a 1-1 draw against Baroka in a battle of the basement sides. Prior to that they beat Maritzburg United (league) and Sundowns (cup).

We, Kathleen Raskin and Robert Raskin, are sad to report that yet another child has died due to corruption within the organizations that are meant to protect them. On Oct.25, 2015, a woman named Samantha Nacole Bryant lost custody of her toddler son, Rylan Ott, after she and her boyfriend were in a drunken fist-fight in her Carthage-area home. This fight involved both alcohol and guns, so the system stepped in to protect the boy, but unfortunately for Rylan, they did not do nearly enough to ensure his continuing safety. Both Rylan and his sister were placed in temporary custody, only to eventually be returned to a mother who remained unfit to parent.
Rylan's Story
In Moore County in April of 2016, a child who drowned after he was returned to his mother's custody. Rylan, who was just 23 months old when he died, was able to slip out from his house and wander a half-mile to this pond. He was reunited with his mother without any prior observation by child protection agencies, so there was no attempt to make sure she was fit to parent or that her parenting skills had improved since he was initially removed from her care. He had only been in her care for four months when tragedy struck.
The DSS Response
A caseworker claimed in her report that Rylan's mother visited the child while he was in care three times a week, but his guardians say this is not true. Rylan's Guardian Ad Litem, Pam Reed, and the boy's kinship parents, Shane and Amanda Mills, had attempted to argue in court that Samantha Bryant was still an unfit mother, and they were proven correct too late. His mother is now being charged with child abuse and involuntary manslaughter, but the caseworker who was involved has not been penalized or charged with any wrongdoing. His case has undergone a second investigation, but the results of this are not public. The Moore County DSS director resigned as a result of this case.
Rylan's Law
As a response to Rylan's senseless death, Rylan's Law was enacted. This bill requires social workers to document and observe two successful visits between children who are in state care and the parents they were removed from before they can be reunited. Until this law was passed, this was considered to be a "best practice," for obvious reasons, but why it was not a requirement is less clear. This law is intended to close this loophole in an effort to strengthen this broken system, and it will help other children to be spared from Rylan's fate in the future. We are Kathleen Raskin and Robert Raskin, and we won't stop fighting to protect families and children until this corruption has been stopped.

A few of us gathered at Jayne's last night to madly stitch and try to finish some of our projects for Christmas. We had our first snow and the wind was literaly howling.
We all had a few stories about our husbands. It must be the time of year we are all stressed and of course I was upset because Steve had lost my "friggen" book! He called half way through the meeting to say he had found the "friggin" book. Good thing for him! Lets just leave it at that.
Monday I am meeting up with Jayne to finish my ornaments, that will be a load off my mind. I am going to my Mom's on Thursday and I will be able to drop them off on my way.
One more day of work tomorrow and I will be off for a week. It is the first time in 25 years I have had a week off in December and boy do I have a lot to accomplish. Friday night is time to write my Christmas cards and the list goes on............
~Happiest when stitching~

I want to share with you one of the most rewarding experiences I ever had with one of my dogs that proved beyond a doubt how important having a strong bond with your dog truly is., and it happened today.
I have always worked hard to communicate with my dogs, through body language, energy and gestures, that when put together is like a second language.
I have this kind of relationship with Lola my 6-year-old Blue Blood German Shepard.
You see Lola just had a litter of pups 7 days ago, it was a small litter of two males and one female.
I have a building especially for her to tend to her babies without being bothered. It is important for her to have the first 12 days to nurse and care for her pups, without any outside stress, and yes when she is protecting new-born, even my presence is a little stressful for her, although if I have to I can go in the birthing room and handle both her and her pups without getting her too upset.
Anyway to get back to telling you about what transpired between me and Lola this afternoon that made me realize that the lines of communication, loyalty, and trust between us is rock solid,..she reinforced to me that I am her leader and she knows that when she needs me, I will understand what she wants and provide it for her.
I always open the door to the birthing room in the mornings and leave it open so she can go out and do her business, and she is just beginning to leave the pups for a minute or two to help develop their independence.
Well I was doing some work up stairs on my computer when suddenly my Uncle Fenton called up the stairs, "Hey, your dog just barked at the door for me to let her in."
I immediately thought this was strange because she would never leave her pups alone for that long. I told Fenton to let her in, and she came charging up the stairs like her tail was on fire, and again I knew something was up because she never runs in the house, it was how she was trained. She got to me and before I could say, "What's up girl?", she forcefully threw my arm up in the air with her snout, and yipped at me. Ordinarily this behavior indicates dominance and I would consider it disrespectful, but I know her better than to believe that and I could tell she was very anxious and excited,,something she never is unless I kick in her drives.
She ran to the top of the stairs and looked back as if to say hurry up and come with on..
So I followed her out of the house and out to the birthing room with her leading all the way, again something she never does, she always follows me except when I give her free time, and when I got there I found that I had forgotten to pin the door open and the wind had blown it shut..she couldn't get in..
The door was scratched up a lot where she had tried to open it herself, but when that wasn't working she thought of me,and came to the door and barked to let someone know she wanted in and then came straight to me and communicated to me clearly that she wanted me to follow her and she wasn't taking No for an answer.
The fact that she is smart enough to figure things out comes as no surprise to me, what I had to write about was the honor I felt when she came to me for help…just knowing that she trusts me that much….validated all my years as a dog trainer and what it means to the people and dogs that I have met.
Have you ever had one of these uplifting moments with your dog,I would love to hear about it.
All the best,

Finding a reputable team of local plumbers is just like finding any other contractor for your home. You want to be sure you hire a company that has experience, is affordable, and offers a wide variety of services in their realm of expertise. You'll get all of this and much, much more when you hire Bears Family Plumbing, Heating & Cooling. We guarantee that you'll receive plumbing services that place an emphasis on professionalism, integrity, and honesty. With dedication and confidence, we guarantee our workmanship and materials used for every job we perform.
As your Top Rated Local® plumbing contractor in Loveland, we are here to serve all of your residential plumbing needs. Let's take a closer look at just a few of the many ways we can help you!
How Can Our Local Plumbers Help You?
Water Heater Installation
Many homeowners don't realize how much they rely on their hot water heater until it begins experiencing problems or fails altogether. You need hot water in your home for bathing, washing clothes, doing dishes, and completing many other essential tasks, and if you are lacking hot water, our team of plumbers can help you get to the bottom of the problem. We are happy to inspect your water heater to determine whether it can be repaired or if replacement is necessary. If it needs to be replaced, we are the right team for the job. Ask us about how you can benefit from installing a tankless hot water heater!
Drain Cleaning
Have you heard gurgling or bubbling sounds coming from your drains when you run water down them, or have you noticed a sewage smell rising from your drains or toilets? These conditions, along with slow draining, could indicate the presence of clogged drain lines. Virtually every home can benefit from regular drain cleaning, but not all plumbing contractors perform these vital services. Bears Family Plumbing, Heating & Cooling proudly offers drain cleaning services in Loveland and the surrounding areas to keep your pipes free of obstructions so that water and waste can travel through them freely.
Leak Detection
There is nothing more frustrating than knowing that you have a leak in your home and being unable to locate its source. Not only is locating the source of the leak a necessary first step in the repair process, but many insurance companies require information related to the source of the leak as part of their coverage investigation. Our team of local plumbers has the skill, knowledge, and tools needed to perform accurate and efficient leak detection services that enable you to get started on repairs as soon as possible, allowing you to prevent costly structural damage to your home.
Water Pressure Concerns
Do you feel like your showers are taking longer than they used to because of poor water pressure in your home? If so, there are a couple of things you can check before you call a plumbing contractor for help. First, check to make sure that the shut-off valves are fully open. If they are, you can ask the city to do a water pressure test. If the reading falls outside of 45 to 55 psi, it is possible that you have a case of clogged pipes on your hands. Our experienced plumbers are happy to come out to your home, investigate the issue to determine why the pressure is low, and recommend an appropriate solution.
New Fixture Installation
Many older homes have plumbing fixtures that are either outdated or no longer functioning as they should be. Likewise, many of the new homes in today's market are built with cheap, builders-grade plumbing fixtures that just can't stand up to the frequent use of the average family. In either of these scenarios, as well as countless others, replacing your plumbing fixtures can help restore beauty and functionality to the sinks, toilets, and showers in your home. Hiring an experienced plumbing contractor like us ensures the job is done quickly and correctly, allowing you to save yourself time, money, and frustration of doing it yourself.
Plumbing Repairs
Finally, in addition to the specific tasks we have reviewed so far, you can count on Bears Family Plumbing, Heating & Cooling to provide you with industry-leading plumbing repairs that are affordable and reliable. From water line repair to garbage disposal repairs, we do it all! There is no job that is too big or small for our team of local plumbers, and you can rest assured that we treat every plumbing job as if it were our most important. This is just part of what sets our plumbing company apart from the other local plumbers in the area, and we are confident you'll be pleased with the services we provide.

COLORADO: The last time Kim Goodman saw her son alive, it was at a bus stop in central Colorado, and he flashed that toothy smile that she so loved about him.
The Oklahoma family was on a vacation in the Rockies. Her son, Luke, was about to make off on his own to go snowboarding with some of his cousins. She recalls a contented feeling as she saw him leave. They had just had a really long talk the night before, and he looked so full of life — tan, fit, fresh out of Oral Roberts University. Ready for anything.
Days later, he would be dead. Luke Goodman, 22, shot himself once while alone inside a bedroom at a ski resort in Keystone, Colo. That was Tuesday. And in the days since, the Tulsa mother has struggled to reconcile the vibrancy with which her son lived and the violence of his death. The pieces don't fit: He was so happy when he left her. He loved athletics and was out snowboarding. He was with his cousins, people who loved him more than anything. How could this have happened?
Then her nephew, Christopher Fouler, who was with her son that day, told her. Things began to fall into place. She knew her son had smoked pot before. But he had never had any marijuana edibles, as far as she knew. On the day of the shooting, he had taken five pieces of marijuana candy — four peach tarts and one red velvet. "We are absolutely convinced it was the edibles that led to his death," Kim Goodman told The Washington Post on Thursday.

In the 90s, there was a time when the question every video game player had to answer in order to prove who they were, was "Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat?" If your answer was Street Fighter, then there's a very cool collectible available to celebrate the series' 30th anniversary.
Gamemaker Capcom has partnered with video game collectibles company iam8bit to create a brand-new Super NES cartridge of the iconic Street Fighter II game. Running $100, each cartridge comes with a foil collector box and "premium instruction booklet."
Collectors have a couple options to choose from. 4,500 of the limited edition cartridges will feature a "Ryu Red" look. 1,000 special versions (of this special version) will be glow-in-the-dark "Blanka Green."
That's all well and good but can you play the game? Well…maybe.
Nintendo doesn't license or approve cartridges anymore so while the game technically works in a Super NES, there may be some bugs or issues that no one has double-checked on. That includes spontaneous combustion.
WARNING: Use of this reproduction game cartridge (the "Product") on the SNES gaming hardware may cause the SNES console to overheat or catch fire. The SNES hardware is deemed a vintage collectible, so please exercise extreme caution when using the Product and make sure there is fire extinguishment equipment nearby. Use of the Product is at the sole risk of the user.
So, you know, maybe stick to using that worn-down cartridge from 1995 instead. Sure you have to blow on it and shake things around, but that's better than blowing up.
iam8bit also noted that this is the first in what they're calling the "Legacy Cartridge Collection" line, which means we can expect to see more in the future. Maybe those Mortal Kombat fans are up next?

After working with 12 cities for the last six months as they developed outreach and enrollment campaigns to increase enrollment in Medicaid and CHIP, we are excited to announce that we have selected 8 cities to continue on to the third and final implementation phase of our Cities Expanding Health Access for Children and Families initiative.
With support from the Atlantic Philanthropies, NLC will award each city up to $260,000 as well as provide technical assistance over the next 18 months as they implement outreach and enrollment campaigns developed during the six-month planning phase of this initiative.
While each community is unique, each is dealing with a common challenge: children and families who are eligible for, but not enrolled in, Medicaid and CHIP. Recognizing the important role that city leaders have and the valuable steps they can take to increase enrollment in these programs, selected cities have crafted comprehensive campaigns involving key city leaders in partnerships with community organizations, schools and health care providers.
The campaigns aim to reach populations that have been the most difficult to enroll and increase their enrollment in and utilization of Medicaid and CHIP. With all of the attention from the Affordable Care Act on marketplace enrollment and deadlines, it is important to remember that there is no deadline for enrollment in Medicaid and CHIP; enrollment is available 365 days a year!
As city teams that were part of the planning phase assessed the barriers in their communities for families to access the health coverage they need and deserve, they learned that with greater knowledge about community needs and the existing gaps in service, they can custom design outreach and enrollment campaigns that have a significant impact on increasing health care access for children and families in their communities.
Dallas, Texas: Healthy Children in a Healthy Environment
Coordinated by the city's Housing and Community Services Department, Dallas' campaign focuses on training staff to become enrollment assistors and coordinating and consolidating existing enrollment efforts in order to increase effectiveness.
Garden City, Michigan: Healthy Kids-Healthy Families
The city's Community Resource Department will coordinate the Healthy Kids-Healthy Families campaign to increase awareness and understanding of Healthy Michigan – the state's Medicaid and CHIP program – and to provide assistance with enrollment, utilization, and re-enrollment. The department will become the entity for enrollment and re-enrollment assistance in the community. City staff and community partners will provide increased enrollment assistance throughout the community and will utilize a social medial campaign and trusted community members to spread their message about the importance of coverage.
Hattiesburg, Mississippi: E3: Educate, Enroll, Empower Health Initiative
Implemented through the mayor's office who will work in partnership with community partners and agencies to help promote a healthy lifestyle, the E3 (Educate, Enroll, Empower) Health Initiative focuses on three main strategies to reduce the number of uninsured families and to increase retention rates. Plans include: educating families about opportunities for obtaining and retaining coverage; enrolling and recertifying families and children into Medicaid or CHIP; and empowering families to re-enroll on their own.
Jacksonville, Florida: Cover Jacksonville
The city's first ever mayor-appointed Health Commissioner working in partnership with the Jacksonville Children's Commission and community partners will lead the Cover Jacksonville campaign. The campaign will focus on: building the community's capacity by providing training and increasing enrollment assistance; raising awareness about public insurance options and promoting a culture of health; establishing a single point of access for enrollment information and assistance; and identifying and assisting uninsured children through a partnership with Duval County Public Schools.
New Bedford, Massachusetts: Health Access Kids New Bedford
The New Bedford Health Department will lead the Health Access Kids New Bedford campaign in partnership with New Bedford Public Schools (NBPS) and community partners. In addition to reducing the number of eligible but unenrolled children and families, the campaign aims to establish a sustained culture of health quality, literacy, and advocacy in the city. Identifying as the target population NBPS students and their families with low levels of health literacy, the campaign will implement an outreach and marketing campaign to build awareness, and utilizes Community Health Workers to provide individual enrollment assistors and serve as Health Access Specialist navigators.
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania: Healthy Together
The Healthy Together enrollment campaign complements Mayor Peduto's Live Well Pittsburgh initiative which aims to achieve 100% coverage for Pittsburgh's youth. The campaign will utilize three main strategies: embedding enrollment efforts into the core strategy of the Mayor's administration; implementing outreach strategies led by the Mayor's office and in partnership with community organizations; and establishing a referral system between schools and enrollment assistance agencies. Recognizing the role of mayors and city leaders in spreading the message of coverage and health access, Healthy Together incorporates a clear role for city leaders and trusted community members in the planned outreach and enrollment events.
Providence, Rhode Island: Healthy Providence
Having identified the existing barriers to enrollment for their city's residents, the Healthy Providence campaign – led by the mayor's Healthy Communities Office – focuses on new outreach strategies to reach their eligible but unenrolled population, with plans to serve as an enrollment facilitator for those identified. The campaign strategies include: institutionalizing health coverage assessment and enrollment with school-based outreach; partnering with youth-based organizations to create peer-led outreach efforts; fortifying effective community-based outreach and enrollment efforts with trusted community members and organizations; and improving the enrollment infrastructure through statewide policy initiative support.
Savannah, Georgia: The Mayor's Campaign for Healthy Children and Families
Emanating from the mayor's office and including partnerships with Step Up Savannah, the city's poverty reduction initiative, and other community partners, The Mayor's Campaign for Healthy Children and Families seeks to increase enrollment in Georgia's public health insurance programs – Right from the Start Medicaid (RSM) or PeachCare for Kids (PCK) – by enhancing and expanding enrollment assistance services and outreach activities. The plan includes utilizing the city's 3-1-1 system as a central clearinghouse to link individuals with enrollment assistance, undertaking a broad social media marketing campaign to increase awareness of enrollment and renewals, and also a focus on policy advocacy and systems change.
We're excited to share a sample of what the cities have in store, and we'll be sharing more from each city in the coming days and weeks. We hope you'll follow our progress as we move forward in this implementation phase and find strategies and ideas that you can mirror in your own cities!
