In his PhD dissertation (PDF), Tom De Smedt has looked at creativity and the thought-provoking question if and how machines can be creative. Why do ants seem so purposeful and creative when they are cooperating to harvest food; or where did spiders learn to make such intricate webs, while nature is inherently "blind" and without purpose? How does creativity work in humans? How exactly do we think new thoughts and construct creative solutions, which we unconsciously apply to everyday problems such as luring the housecat down from a tree, or (rarely and with much more conscious effort) to come up with a new theory of physics? To answer such questions we used computational models of creativity.
To this end, we have in turn developed two open source tools: Pattern and NodeBox for OpenGL. NOGL generates 2D animations based on Python programming code. It is useful for example for agent-based modeling (e.g., to study virtual ecosystems), data visualization (e.g., to study commonsense networks) and small games. Pattern is a Python toolkit for data mining, multilingual natural language processing, sentiment analysis, machine learning, graph analysis and visualization.

American Flags around Trevett.
Made in America!
Just how did the American flag become exactly what it is today?
Folding the American flag.
The United States flag is a strong icon of American identification and national pride. Likewise called Old Glory, the American flag has a vivid background and has undertaken several adjustments starting from the very first official flag of 1777.
Today the American flag contains thirteen horizontal stripes, seven red alternating with six white stripes. The stripes stand for the initial 13 colonies; the stars stand for the 50 states of the country. The shades of the flag are symbolic too: red signifies strength and also valiance, white signifies purity as well as innocence as well as blue stands for vigilance, willpower as well as justice. The reason the Continental Congress originally selected the red, white, and blue colors was not made clear in the resolution embracing the flag. Chroniclers think it was possibly a color choice based upon the British Union Jack, which had actually previously flown over the colonies.
With time, some have associated somewhat different definitions to the three colors, for example, the shade red symbolizing the blood spilled to protect our freedoms, yet the essence of the initial meaning has actually been rather consistent from 1782.
How did the American flag turn into exactly what it is today?
It is a lot more than the 3 colors or a "decoration". Think about the places around the globe that the American flag has actually flown, think of the change it has undergone throughout the decades on American soil. It is truly humbling to consider all that was provided as well as given up to make sure that the American flag could fly easily across this nation.
The flag that began with just 13 stars grew to 50 with the addition of states to the Union. The variety of stars on the flag progressively increased to its existing number today where a brand-new star would be added to the blue field on the 4th of July after the day of each new state's admission.
The number of rotating straight red as well as white stripes has continued to be at thirteen except from 1795 to 1818 when fifteen stripes appeared on the flag to show the admission of Kentucky and also Vermont to the Union. In 1818, it was decided that including a stripe to the flag for each brand-new state would no longer occur as it will make the flag appear crowded and it would certainly make the flag unwieldy. It was determined then that the flag would return to having only thirteen stripes to stand for the initial colonies.
The American flag is an icon not only of strength, valiance, purity, innocence, vigilance, willpower and justice; it is a symbol of liberty. Freedom that has been dealt with so hard for over the years. Liberty that has cost this nation as well as the families within a lot, but it is still a sign to those wishing they had the liberty that the country has.
Folding up the American flag.
Standard flag etiquette prescribes that before an American flag is kept or flown, its handlers ought to two times fold it in half lengthwise; after that (from the other end opposite the blue field) make a triangular fold, remaining to fold it in triangles up until the other end is reached. This makes a triangular "cushion" of the flag with only heaven starred area showing outside, and also it takes thirteen folds to create: two lengthwise folds and also eleven triangular ones.
The flag isn't really folded in this way due to the fact that each of the folds has a special symbolic significance; the flag is folded in this manner since it gives a dignified ceremonial touch that identifies folding a flag from folding a normal thing such as a bed cover, and also due to the fact that it results an aesthetically pleasing, easy-to-handle shape. This thirteen-fold treatment was an usual method long before the creation of a ceremonial assignation of "indicating" to each of the steps.
A fancy flag folding event integrating these definitions has actually from then on been devised for special celebrations such as Memorial Day and Veterans Day. These associations are "genuine" in the sense that they mean something to the people that take part in the event, but they are not the reason that a flag is folded up in the typical thirteen-step manner.
This is America and its icon is the American Flag. Also though many Americans near Maine state proudly fly the flag outside their residences and services every day, it is fitting that we, as a nation, have actually established apart one specific day each year to honor our flag as well as to bear in mind that it represents the ideals as well as values that we must aim to uphold.

World widely parents have become quite aware of the truth that initial age range of a child require a proper baby healthcare with regards to avoiding threat of infectious diseases. Looking after your baby health may be the primer component of delivering an excellent parenting. Additionally it is believed that infant names determined the resilient effect on babies' wellness. Before having a baby to a child, parents enjoy a complete large amount of research about baby healthcare tips; they give preference to numerous sources such as for example Internet even, baby care books, infant wellness blogs and elder's assistance at home. It really is seen that large numbers parents are using web as a primer source now.
Mostly babies born healthful and adapt to the exterior world easily but any kind of minor setbacks within babies' health could be upsetting for parents or family. I firmly think that effective baby wellness guidelines can result in an improved healthy living of one's baby. Baby wellness has amount of elements such as for example cleanliness, oxygen, and sunlight, sleep activity and rest, Clothing, foods etc. The nutritional requirements of a baby will vary from the adults.
Balanced diet brings the activeness:
In accordance with a extensive analysis, mother's milk is the greatest feed for the baby's health. If the baby isn't breastfeeding properly you then should switch to another food options. Other than breastfeeding it is possible to choose cow milk for the baby following the consultation from the pediatrician. If your child is gaining bodyweight steadily then you won't need to start meals before your child is six months old, after half a year you can begin giving food to your child. Before choosing the good solid meals you should get ready a checklist of one's baby's taste or option as I have observed many parents of 10 months old child who complain about their baby's insufficient fascination with new food. Your 7-8 months baby might have homely cooked food such as for example cereals, rice, wheat etc nonetheless it is advised to provide in small quantities which means that your baby will get habitual of wellness food. While purchasing strong food from the marketplace or perhaps a baby shop you need to have to check the components, expiry date, along with other details about the merchandise. It should not really contain preservatives and synthetic flavors. A lot of purified water is wonderful for your baby health.
Growing time of one's baby needs appropriate attention:
Babies grow quicker within their first 12 months than at any time in life. And that means you need to look after your child in the original stage of existence. Hygiene and cleanliness may be the priority parameter for an improved healthy living of child and also adults. Baby bathing ought to be carefully finished with good products; baby skin is normally very soft and susceptible to infection easily. Use baby maintenance systems of good quality. Most mothers will undoubtedly be taught by a healthcare facility staff, to bathe their brand new babies each day. Usually do not use diaper every correct time as it could cause rashes upon soft baby skin.

Hello everyone, in this post I am going to share how to gain harder and stronger penis and how to maintain it.
There are lots of articles on the internet that will show you how to get strong penis but it is difficult to find quality information about how to maintain harder penis. Many people complaint they get only temporary results that is why I decided to write down this post. Here you will learn how to convert your temporary results into permanent results.
Ok let's get started…
Get Stronger, Harder And Sensitive Penis
Increase Blood Volume:
The first and most important step for getting strong and harder penis is to ensure you are getting lots of blood into your penis. Either it is penis exercises, extender or pills the main focus of all these is to increase blood flow into the penis. When your penis gets blood full of oxygen and nutrients your penis will grow naturally. To get best penis it is vital important to increase blood volume.
Now you may be wondering how to increase blood volume into my penis. It is not as difficult as you are thinking…
You can increase the flow of blood into your penis by drinking water only. Yes, by drinking enough water your penis will get blood full of oxygen and nutrients that will give you harder and stronger erection. It is recommended to drink at least three litres of water every day. If you are buying litre bottle then make sure you purchase three water bottles or fill one bottle three times. Water starts pumping blood into your penis and you full feel healthy in general.
It is important to keep in mind that cola, protein shake or energy drinks will never provide you benefits that you get from water. All you have to do is to carry water bottle with you and drink water from it throughout the day.
Increase DHT Production:
Bio-chemicals are the key for getting bigger and stronger penis. DHT is the form of Testosterone that plays very important role in making your penis bigger and stronger. Without DHT it is nearly impossible to increase penis size. If you have John Collin's Penis Enlargement Bible then you already know how important bio-chemicals are for penis enlargement. Once you learn how to increase DHT production it will become very easy for you to increase your penis as quickly as possible.
If you want your body to produce DHT then it is important to have high amount of Dopamine in your body. DHT is created by the testicular and adrenal glands, where Dopamine is presented. In this process liver plays important role in converting Dopamine into DHT that why it is necessary for liver to work with full efficiency.
The problem is overproduction of DHT can cause baldness and prostate enlargement. This is because your penis (which to right position to get DHT) contains DHT receptors while your scalp and prostate don't have any receptors. That's why you have to introduce adrenaline and isoflavours. When DHT grows into your penis, the DHT receptors inside genital react with it and make your penis grows naturally without and negative side-effects. As your scalp and prostate don't have any growth receptors, isoflavours in your body minimize negative side-effects.
Correct Erectile Problem:
Erection is the key for getting bigger penis. The main function of erection is to fill penis with lots of blood that it can hold. But if penis gets bio-chemical rich blood then your penis will get bigger more quickly. This is because genital contain receptors that can make penis bigger than any other conversational method or pill.
But problem occurs when man finds difficulty in reaching or maintaining hard erection. This is because body is lacking in one or two important nutrients. Now these days there are lots of men that are facing to this problem all because of poor lifestyle and bad habits. That is why market and online sites are full of pills to cure impotence.
Everyone can use these pills to cure their impotence but the problem is these pills never cure the problem instead these pills make you rely on them. And some of these pills contain very nasty negative side-effects in such blindness and heart problems are few of them.
So what is the permanent cure of this problem?
For curing erectile dysfunction permanently you don't need any pill. It doesn't matter how popular pills is, manufacturers create pills to provide temporary results only. But, if you want to end erectile dysfunction you need to increase Acetylcholine and Nitric Oxide. If you are feeling difficulty in getting erection or maintaining it that means your body lacks in Acetylcholine, Nitric Oxide or both.
If you feel pain in penis when you press it or you are getting 45 degree angle of your erection that means your genital is lacking in Acetylcholine. The best way to cure this problem permanently is to get Acetylcholine and Nitric Oxide in your body. By adding these bio-chemicals into your body it will lead to best results and cure erectile dysfunction permanently.
The best way to add Acetylcholine in your body is by topping your body with Choline. The best part is Choline is present in multi vitamins, mineral formula and mood enhancing formula. All these substance are approved and considered safe by US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). But it is recommended by FDA to take less than 500 mg/day.
If you feel your penis is full of blood but it is not rising or pointing downward that means your body is lacking in nitric oxide. Nitrogen is denoted in Human Growth Hormone (important hormone for penis growth), L-Arginine and L-Ornithine. Nitric Oxide supplements are widely popular among bodybuilders because they use nitric oxide supplement to pump blood into the muscles and give them intense look. Similarly, you can use these supplements to increase blood flow and correct your penis problem.
In the end I like to say by using the information I mentioned above you can get stronger and longer penis. With this information you will get permanent results that expensive penis extenders fail to deliver.

12-16-04 Men indicted on separate pandering obscenity charges
By Margie Wuebker email@example.com
Two men have been indicted on charges of pandering obscenity involving a minor in unrelated cases. In addition, a trial date has been set in another case involving a local man facing multiple charges, including three counts of pandering. Jaysen J. Weyandt, 31, 116 Drake St., Mendon, faces one count of pandering obscenity involving a minor, a fourth-degree felony. Former Celina resident Jessie Lee Williams, 20, of Decatur, Ind., is charged with pandering sexually-oriented material involving a minor, a second-degree felony. Weyandt allegedly purchased pornography featuring a minor as one of the participants from a Dallas, Texas, company. An agent with the Ohio Internet Crime Unit contacted the Mercer County Sheriff's Office this fall after Weyandt's credit card number allegedly was found among hundreds of others during execution of a search warrant at the Texas company. The warrant reportedly came in the wake of a two-year investigation. Weyandt remains free on his own recognizance pending further proceedings in Mercer County Common Pleas Court. If convicted, he faces up to 18 months in prison and a $5,000 fine. The charge against Williams stems from an incident that occurred in the fall of 2003, alleging he created, photographed, filmed, reproduced or published material showing a minor participating or engaging in sexual activity. The investigation apparently began in St. Marys but police officers subsequently determined the offense occurred in Celina. Williams allegedly took photographs of a girl he knew and later distributed them via e-mail. Williams, remains free on his own recognizance pending an arraignment hearing Friday before Judge Jeffrey Ingraham. If convicted, he could be sentenced to eight years in prison and fined $15,000. John "Jack" Goyman, 48, 314 W. Warren St., has waived his right to a speedy trial on three counts of pandering obscenity involving a minor, all second-degree felonies, and one count of gross sexual imposition, a third-degree felony. His two-day jury trial is scheduled to commence Feb. 23 with the next pretrial hearing set for Jan. 14. Celina Police went to the Goyman home Oct. 20 armed with a search warrant after someone apparently found a digital camera containing images of minors in compromising situations and made allegations of suspected activity involving an 11-year-old girl. Officers reportedly seized computer equipment as well as 50 to 60 CDs, floppy discs and videos containing similar images. He remains incarcerated at the Mercer County Jail on a $100,000 cash bond. Goyman faces the possibility of up to eight years in prison and a $15,000 fine on each pandering charge in the event he is convicted. The gross sexual imposition charge carries the likelihood of up to an additional five years in prison and a $10,000 fine upon conviction.

SALT LAKE CITY — An April stabbing that left one man dead and another facing murder charges started as a simple misunderstanding, witnesses testified Tuesday.
Nestor Vasquez said he believes his friend Harlin Argelio Ramos confused his white car for another parked across the street while waiting to give the man a ride.
"That's the wrong car," Vasquez said through a Spanish interpreter. "That's how the fight started."
When Ramos opened that car's door, an altercation began that resulted in the death of Joaquin Gonzalez, 33.
Vasquez was one of several witnesses to testify before 3rd District Judge Denise Lindberg on Tuesday in a hearing on the evidence against Ramos. The 30-year-old is facing a single count of murder, a first-degree felony, in the fatal stabbing on April 19 near 500 West and 100 South.
Gonzalez and Megan Sellers had just finished watching a movie at The Gateway and were saying their goodbyes when Sellers noticed two men walk past their car.
"It really creeped me out immediately," Sellers testified. "It was like, 'What is that guy doing? Why does he keep looking over here? I'm not comfortable.' I opened up my glove compartment and got my stun gun out."
She said Gonzalez reassured her that nothing would happen and told her to put the gun away. She and Gonzalez were sharing a goodbye embrace in her car when the door behind Gonzalez opened and she saw an arm reach in.
"It shocked both of us," Sellers said. "(Gonzalez) turned around and pushed the person and said, 'What are you doing?' Him and whoever opened the door started fighting."
Vasquez said Ramos called him for a ride from The Gateway around 1 a.m. The man, who was working as a cab driver, said he drove the 15 minutes from his West Valley home and had parked his white Nissan Versa when he saw Ramos approaching.
But his acquaintance walked instead to another car — Sellers said she drove a white Toyota Corolla — parked across the street. He, too, watched as the fight began.
"I could hear both falling on to the ground, and that's all I could hear at that moment," Vasquez said. "That's when Harlin started calling out for help because the other man was hurting him."
When I stepped out of the car, I heard Quino (Gonzalez) asking for help, begging, 'Please don't kill me. I have kids.'
–Megan Sellers
Sellers said the scuffle prompted her to honk her horn and search for her phone on the floor of her car. When she sat up, she could see no one.
"When I stepped out of the car, I heard Quino (Gonzalez) asking for help, begging, 'Please don't kill me. I have kids,'" she testified.
The men were struggling on the ground, and Sellers said one man was straddling Gonzalez and appeared to be punching him. She said she attempted to stun first the attacker's leg and then his neck before he stood up.
She ran back to her car and called 911.
Vasquez said Ramos jumped into his passenger seat, bleeding from his head and explaining that he thought the man was trying to kill him. He said he dropped the man off at a North Temple motel.
Christopher Graham, a paramedic and combat flight medic for the U.S. Army, was leaving a friend's apartment and heard a woman screaming. He said he saw two men running from the area and that one man looked at him for a "split second," and he identified that man as Ramos.
"I only lost sight of them as I confirmed they were running away from the scene," Graham said. "I wanted to double-check to make sure that nobody came back behind us."
He responded to the cars and found a man lying on the ground with a woman screaming and crying over his body. He said blood was on the man's shirt, and Graham determined that the man's pulse was weak.
"He was in the last stages of gasping for air," Graham testified. "He was unconscious from the time I approached him to when he was pronounced."
He attempted to treat the wounds, which he described as "four sharp force trauma wounds" in both the man's chest and abdomen. Sellers said Gonzalez was dead by the time an ambulance arrived.
It is anticipated that more witnesses will testify before the preliminary hearing ends Wednesday, at which time prosecutors will ask the judge to order Ramos to stand trial on the murder charge.

Science is a tricky thing to explain to the general public. The concepts get bogged down in technical details and theory, and the takeaways are difficult to summarize in bite-sized nuggets -- meaning, it's hard to make non-scientists care about science because it's almost un-tweetable. Thankfully, there are science communicators out there who are making it work. The most famous was Carl Sagan, an enormously influential science advocate. In honor of his birthday on November 9, we present 7 of today's most effective science communicators, all of whom carry on his spirit.
Cara Santa Maria
Founding science correspondent for The Huffington Post? Check. Hosting her own web series Talk Nerdy to Me while also co-hosting TechKnow on Al Jazeera America? Double-check. A masters degree in biology with a concentration in neuroscience, which she used to teach lab courses and perform neuronal cell culture duties and electrophysiology research at the University of North Texas? Check and mate. Cara Louise Santa Maria is both a scientist and a science advocate, and as a journalist, producer, television host, and podcaster, she's doing everything she can to get more people to talk -- and care -- about science. With 20,000+ YouTube subscribers alone, she's effective, partly because she actually talks to scientists and can translate academic language into plain English, but also because she projects an image of effortless cool. From her funky glasses and lip ring, to co-hosting a live brain surgery on Nat Geo, Santa Maria makes science sexy.

Bill Nye
Credit: Popular Science
William Sandford Nye will never escape the nickname "Bill Nye the Science Guy" - and he doesn't want to. A mechanical engineer turned stand-up comedian turned PBS host, Nye taught generations of children about scientific concepts, from the workings of the human body to the planetary orbits on the show that solidified that nickname. Combining accurate, kid-friendly scientific facts with creative staging, simple experiments, comedy sketches, and the most awesome science lab ever, Nye was the cool science teacher we all wished we'd had. Even though his show has been off the air for 17 years, Nye's passion for science hasn't waned one bit. Between developing an hydraulic pressure resonance suppressor for Boeing's 747 planes, sundial technology used on the Mars rover, explaining asteroid collisions for the web series "ASAP Science," acting as the technical advisor for the show Battlebots, and applying to be an astronaut every few years, Nye keeps himself busy sharing scientific facts in as many ways as he can -- up to and including appearances on fellow advocate Neil Degrasse Tyson's podcast. He's even been on Dancing with the Stars, cha-chaing to -- what else? -- "Weird Science."

Lauren Worley

It's a hard job to keep the public informed of everything NASA does, but Lauren Worley does it both admirably and hilariously. Growing up on a farm, Worley saw science in action around her all the time and knew she wanted to make it happen. She thought it might have been as a doctor, but discovered that the sight of blood made her woozy, so she pursued her other dream: becoming the real-life version of C.J. Cregg from the TV show The West Wing. After a career working in government relations and public policy, she ended up as an entrepreneur before landing at NASA where she fell in love with its openness and limitless ability to inspire. She's dedicated the last 4 years of her life to extending that openness to space fans and journalists everywhere, using social media and a warm "class clown" persona to connect with the people who most want to hear her message. She even mentors aspiring women in STEM fields and encourages them to live their dreams while pointing them toward resources. She really is a real-life C.J. Cregg.
Chris Hadfield

Retired astronaut Col. Chris Hadfield became a superstar when he went into space, and even though he's back on Earth, he's no less popular. As the first Canadian to walk in space and the first Canadian commander of the ISS, Hadfield spent his entire life preparing to go into space. Although Canada didn't have a space program at the time, Hadfield worked his way up through the Royal Canadian Air Force to become an experimental test pilot before entering an exchange program with the USAF, which helped him get accepted into Canada's Space program in 1992. He went on his first space mission in 1995, but didn't become popular on social media until he began chronicling daily life on the ISS in 2013. Video of him singing "Space Oddity" inside the ISS went viral and made him a superstar. Warm, self-effacing, and terrified of spiders, Hadfield does everything he can to share his experiences of space - both wonderful and terrifying - with as many people as possible, knowing full well that he may inspire others in the same way that he was inspired by the moon landing.
Here's him describing how he went blind in space (but got better):
Alan Alda

Normally, when an Academy Award-nominated actor teaches at a university, it's little more than an honorary position. Not so for Alan Alda. While making his name as Captain Hawkeye Pierce in the TV series M.A.S.H., Alda is also a director, screenwriter, and visiting professor at Stony Brook University. But first and foremost, he's a scientific thinker: "When I was 11 years old, I asked a teacher what's going on in a flame," he said in a recent interview with The Huffington Post. "It's fascinating. You can put your finger through it but it's hot, it gives off light. What's happening in the flame? And the teacher said, 'It's oxidation.' That was it. I didn't know what that meant." He was so annoyed by that answer that he founded The Flame Challenge, a competition for burgeoning and practicing scientists to explain complicated scientific phenomena to 11-year-old judges. That curiosity spurred Alda to spend the latter half of his life using his skills and profile as a public figure to bridge the communication gap between scientists and the general public. The Center for Communicating Science at Stony Brook University not only adopts that task as its own mission statement, it's named for Alda and has him on its board of directors. For all of his work inspiring scientific advocacy, Alda was named an Honorary Fellow by the Society for Technical Communication in 2014 and is also on the advisory board of the Future of Life Institute and the World Science Festival.
Elizabeth Kolbert

Clear-eyed science writing about topics like climate change are hard to come by, but Elizabeth Kolbert is a safe port in the storm. Best known for her 2006 book Field Notes from a Catastrophe, which sheds light on the scientific causes and effects of climate change, Kolbert is a staff writer for The New Yorker and a professor of environmental studies at Williams College. Her writing is level and clear-headed, which makes perfect sense given that she studied literature at Yale and got her start at The New York Times. Lately she's taken to Twitter (@ElizKolbert) to clarify the science behind climate change, and is more than happy to go on NPR or The Daily Show to get the message across. She's even won a Pulitzer Prize for her most recent climate change-inspired science book The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History. If you're looking for a calm, scientifically-grounded voice in the increasingly vociferous climate change debate, Kolbert is it.
Neil Degrasse Tyson

The most recognizable scientist of our day, Neil Degrasse Tyson is perhaps the most outspoken science advocator on the planet. A native New Yorker, Tyson was inspired by astronomy during a visit to the Hayden Planetarium at age 9, and obsessively studied astronomy from then on, even lecturing at age 15. He is now its director (and has been for almost 20 years), as well as an internationally respected cosmologist and astrophysicist. Inspired by his hero Carl Sagan (whom he met in 1975), Tyson pursued not only scientific knowledge -- with degrees from Harvard, Princeton, and Columbia, to name a few -- but also scientific communication. He wrote the "Universe" column for Natural History magazine and many popular science books, including Death by Black Hole and Merlin's Tour of the Universe. Lately, he's better known for hosting NOVA ScienceNOW on PBS, a re-vamp of Sagan's Cosmos series titled Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey on FOX, and the show Star Talk on National Geographic, inspired by his podcast of the same name. He is also responsible for coining the term "Manhattanhenge" and infamously causing the IAU to reclassify Pluto as not a planet. No one else on this list comes close to his academic pedigree, but his willingness to share all of that scientific knowledge with the general public -- often by pointing out the science behind pop cultural trends like zombies and sex addiction -- makes him one of the most effective science advocates in recent memory. He would certainly make Sagan proud.

As the writer behind Cocktail Party Physics, she's a woman after our own heart. Describing it as "physics with a twist," Ouellette covered all sorts of physics-related topics like black hole entropy and frozen lightning in quirky ways, and has a penchant for explaining Newtonian mechanics with jujitsu (because she's a black belt). While she's just wrapped her tenure on the blog, we're super excited that she now writes for Gizmodo.

Another investigating panel of the National Universities Commission (NUC) is to visit the Rivers State University of Science and Technology (RSUST), Port Harcourt.
This followed the deepening crisis over the re-appointment of Prof. Barineme Fakae, as the Vice-Chancellor.
The setting up of another panel by the NUC followed the rejection of the report of the earlier panel, whose members were accused of taking sides.
Members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) have been on strike since August 13 to protest Fakae's reappointment.
The discredited NUC team was in the university for two days, about a month ago.
It was also learnt that the NUC team did not meet with the leadership of ASUU to ensure fairness and justice.
The ASUU Chairman, Dr. Felix Igwe, said over 75 per cent of the lecturers were on strike.
He insisted that due process must be followed in the appointment of a vice-chancellor.
Igwe said RSUST was facing collapse in academic etiquette.
The ASUU chair said instead of addressing the issues that led to the strike, the management was chasing shadows.
He said the lecturers taught for five weeks before the strike commenced, but the students were forced to write second semester examinations with old question papers from September 17.
Igwe noted that the NUC recommended that before examinations, the students must have been taught for 12 or 13 weeks.
He said there had been no discussion whatsoever with the union on how to correct the anomaly, criminal abuse of due process and established procedure that led to the strike.
The ASUU Chairman of RSUST added that Governor Rotimi Amaechi contravened the university's law in the reappointment of Fakae and that the governor was inappropriately advised.

Whether you are looking for something to cut for the dining table or exhibit at the Mountain State Fair or simply have cheerful color in the garden it's not too late to sow annual sunflowers. Stagger sowings over 5 to 6 weeks to keep enjoying continuous blooms. Give plants plenty of room, especially for low-growing varieties that will branch out 2-3 feet depending on the variety. The towering Mammoth variety is the traditional giant sunflower and excellent for seeds. Autumn Beauty has 6-inch flowers in shades of yellow, bronze, and mahogany on branching stems up to 7 feet tall. Sunbeam is a "van Gogh sunflower" that grows on a 5-foot plant with 5-inch flowers that don't shed pollen – great for the flower vase. Teddy Bear is great for containers. It reaches 2 to 3 feet tall with yellow double long lasting flowers. There are a number of perennial sunflowers on the market too, several of which are native species such as the willow sunflower. They are very easy to grow, deer resistant, have good fragrance and are great plants for bees, butterflies and other nectar feeders.

The neighbourhood has seen better days, but Mrs. Pauley has lived there since before anyone can remember. She raised a family of six boys, who've all grown up and moved away. Since Mr. Pauley died three months ago, she'd had no income. She's fallen behind in the rent. The landlord, accompanied by the police, have come to evict Mrs. Pauley from the house she's lived in for forty years.
Today's prompt: write this story in first person, told by the twelve-year-old sitting on the stoop across the street.
Today's twist: For those of you who want an extra challenge, think about more than simply writing in first-person point of view — build this twelve-year-old as a character. Reveal at least one personality quirk, for example, either through spoken dialogue or inner monologue.
I should be inside doing my homework but I want to practice my new cheerleading moves, only two more days til tryouts. I've just got to make the team. I hope my yelling doesn't bother the neighbors, maybe I'll practice my jumps instead. Oh I know, I'll sit here on the stoop and write some new cheers, that won't bother anyone, ya that's what I'll do.
I remember when this neighborhood was so noisy with kids. Especially across the street with all those boys. They would always be playing some game in the yard. Their mom and dad would be sitting on the porch, drinking lemonade and laughing at their sons' charades. It wasn't just them either there were lots of kids and parents who would be out playing, visiting, doing yard work, keeping an eye on me as I was so little then.
Now that I'm almost an adult I miss those days and all those kids. Everyone has grown up and moved away. The new neighbors seem to keep to themselves and don't have a lot of interest in making their homes look pretty. Sad. Since Mr. Pauley died a few months ago I haven't seen Mrs. Pauley at all, even her home looks run down. Well back to my writing…two, four, six, eight who do we appreciate…nah, that's an old one…hey that police car is slowing down and stopping in front of Mrs. Pauley's house. Uh-oh.
I'll pretend not to watch, hmm they don't look happy I wonder what's wrong. Who is that man with them? I hope Mrs. Pauley is okay, maybe I should get Mom. Boy they've knocked on her door a couple of times and she hasn't answered yet, oh wait, there she is and she's letting them in. Wow I wonder if she did something wrong, why else would the police be there?
Hey isn't that Joshua pulling up with his wife and kids? Mrs. Pauley will sure be surprised to see her son and grandchildren, they haven't been here in forever! Hey wait here comes, Andy, Bart, Michael, Larry and Carl, Carl was named after Mr. Pauley. Wow! All of her sons are here and look at how old they are. A moving van? Are they moving in or out? MAAAAAAA come here…MAAAAAA…
Oh Mom. Look! A moving van and all of Mrs. Pauley's sons are here plus the police, what's going on? Are you sure? Joshua and his family have come to buy the house and live here with Mrs. Pauley? Oh she'll be so happy….and there will be kids again. I can babysit them and maybe we can play in the yard. I know, I'll show them my cheers, oh won't that be fun!! I can't wait!!!
Oh hey, there's Mrs. Pauley, she looks so happy…I'll wave to her…HI MRS. PAULEY WANNA SEE MY NEW CHEER???

French champions Monaco have moved to replenish their dwindling stock of stars by signing young striker Adama Diakhaby from Rennes.
The 21-year-old Corsican, a former Tottenham trialist who scored four Ligue 1 goals for Rennes last season, has signed a five-year contract at the Stade Louis II.
He arrives in the principality following the big-money sales of key figures Benjamin Mendy, Bernardo Silva and Tiemoue Bakayoko, while teenage sensation Kylian Mbappe continues to be linked with a summer exit after notching 26 times in his breakthrough campaign.
Diakhaby told Monaco's official website: "I'm very happy to join Monaco, a club with a very ambitious sporting project who field a lot of young players.
"I'm here to display my talent and to progress as much as possible."
Monaco begin the defence of their Ligue 1 title against Toulouse on Friday night.
"Adama Diakhaby is a very promising young player who has already developed in a season in Ligue 1," added Monaco's vice-president and chief executive Vadim Vasilyev.
"He is a fast and technical player capable of making a difference. His qualities and profile fit perfectly into our project. We are convinced that he will integrate perfectly within our group to develop its full potential."

This is a movie about every aspiring actor's Hollywood dream. Maybe that's why it connected with a lot of Hollywood people. And it's a song and dance, too!
Emma Stone's character Mia is an aspiring actress just like Reneé Zellweger's character Roxy Hart in Chicago. But unlike Roxy Hart, Mia didn't have to kill anybody; she just had to fall in love with Ryan Gosling's Sebastian, a pianist also struggling to find real work in Los Angeles, or LA, short, thus LA-LA in the title, or perhaps, it's the la-la-la singing when one is in love.
The story line is pretty neat and simple: struggling boy meets struggling girl, both try to figure out how to achieve their dreams, both succeed, and they live happily ever after. Or did they?
As the most scenes were shot in Los Angeles, it reminded me of my LA visit where my fellow movie buff, Roselyn, toured me around. We had fun pretending to be struggling actors ourselves while we were driving around Hollywood, where she lives.
La La Land is a very 'easy' movie to watch, no heavy thinking required like Chicago, as its songs were fun and life as actor seemed easy. Mia could actually get by in an expensive city by working as a barista! Hmm. That gives me an idea. Ha-ha-ha!
The last song-and-dance film that won the Oscar Best Picture was Chicago in 2002, where Catherin Zeta-Jones won best supporting actress.
Will La La Land win best picture, too? Let's sing and dance to that!

Coast Soap BarReviewing: Coast Pacific Ocean Dial | Rating:
My favorite brand of soaps is a toss up between Dove and Tone because I love the smell of it and softness it brings. One time when I ran out of Tone soap, I bought Coast Pacific Ocean, which happens to be on sale during the time.
This soap came together in three soap bars. When taking a shower, its cleans and refreshes my skin, and can easily lather my skin up leaving a fresh scent without fragrance needed. It really does not moisterurize the skin but definitely make sure to clean the body real good.
Coast Ocean Pacific is excellent to take after a hard day work, children playing outside and getting themselves dirty or for all the athletes has gotten themselves up to a sweat and need to take a quick shower. As a matter of matter this soap is for everyone and doesn't make the skin harsh or break out.
Coast soap bar has been around for a long time and I'm sure with its success and longevity, it will always be the soap bar everyone will use one time or another.

How to Manage Adult Separation Anxiety Disorder
In this Article:Learning about ASADBanishing Negative ThoughtsTrying Coping Techniques for RelaxationUsing Exposure TherapyCommunity Q&A19 References
Adult Separation Anxiety Disorder (ASAD) can cause significant social and occupational problems. At the same time, you may feel extreme distress, which can take away from your overall quality of life and can affect the lives of your loved ones. However, you can manage these feelings of anxiety by vanquishing your negative thoughts and practicing different coping techniques.
Learning about ASAD
1Learn about the symptoms of ASAD. If you know or think that you have ASAD, it can help to know what its symptoms are. When you can recognize these symptoms, you can begin to realize that your fears are brought on by the condition, rather than reality. Talk to your doctor about ASAD if you notice symptoms such as:[1][2]
- Being excessively "clingy"
- Difficulty leaving or being away from home
- Extreme anxiousness and distress when you are away from your loved ones
- Panic attacks, crying, and excessive mood swings
- Refusal to be alone or without your loved one
- Excessive worries that your loved one will be hurt
- Physical symptoms associated with any of the above, including: headache, nausea, and stomachaches
2Join a support group. Joining a support group will allow you to interact with others who are experiencing the same thing as you. It can be helpful to talk to members of the support group about their own experiences and what they have done to manage their condition.[3][4]
- Talk to your doctor about finding a support group in your area, such as The National Alliance on Mental Illness or the Anxiety and Depression Association of America.[5]
3Consider talking to a therapist. A therapist may be able to help you work through your worries and anxieties. The therapist may also be able to give you more techniques that you can use to calm yourself down when you are feeling anxious about being away from your loved one.
- You can ask your doctor to recommend a therapist that specializes in treating ASAD.
Banishing Negative Thoughts
1Identify your negative thoughts. When you are away from your loved one, take note of any negative thoughts, assumptions, and beliefs that come into your head. Write them down or express them to someone like a therapist or close friend.[6] Knowing what kind of negative thoughts you might expect can help you manage them.
- Keeping a daily journal can help you get in the habit of recording your thoughts and feelings.[7]
2Replace negative thoughts with positive ones. When you have identified these negative thoughts, replace them with positive ones or disprove the beliefs that you feel.[8] Controlling your negative thoughts and replacing them with positive ones may help to calm you down.
- For example, if your loved one leaves and you think "I may never see her again," replace that negative thought with a positive one, such as, "I will see her when she gets home from work. We will eat dinner together and watch a movie."
- Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a treatment plan for depression and/or anxiety that may help you replace negative thoughts with positive ones. Ask your doctor or therapist about beginning treatment.
3Distract yourself from your negative thoughts. When you begin to feel anxious and start thinking negative thoughts, you will only feel more anxious.[9][10] To keep yourself from dwelling on negative thoughts, distract yourself by:
- Engaging in an activity like a hobby you enjoy
- Focusing on completing work or household chores
- Taking a walk or exercise
- Visiting a place you enjoy, such as a museum or the movies
Trying Coping Techniques for Relaxation
1Practice breathing techniques to help calm yourself down. Breathing can be a great way to calm down when you are feeling anxious. Deep breathing is a known stress reliever. When you begin to feel yourself getting anxious, try this technique:[11][12]
- Breathe in slowly through your nose for five seconds.
- Focus your attention on listening to and feeling the air move as you breathe.
- Place your hand on your chest and feel it rise as you breathe.
2Try meditating. Like deep breathing, meditating is another way to calm yourself by focusing on your breath and clearing your mind.[13][14]
- Sit in a position that you find comfortable. If you sit on the floor, a pillow or mat can make things more comfortable.
- Start off with some breathing exercises.
- Focus your attention on your breathing. Gently bring your mind back to focus on your breathing as soon as it wanders.
- Don't judge or dwell on any thoughts that may come to mind.
- Meditate for five minutes at least once a day. As you develop the habit of meditating, you can gradually increase the time you spend on it.
3Use visualization techniques to relax.[15][16] If you visualize settings that you find pleasant, you can reduce anxiety. Remove all distractions like television, computers, etc. and try the following technique when you feel anxious about being separated from a home or a loved one:
- Start by spending a few minutes on breathing exercises and meditation.
- Close your eyes and begin to imagine a setting that you find peaceful and relaxing. For instance, picture yourself in a sunny, grassy meadow with birds singing.
- Use your imagination to explore the place you are visualizing. For instance, what birds do you see? Do you smell flowers? What does the grass feel like between your fingers?
- When you feel relaxed and ready, open your eyes.
Using Exposure Therapy
1Talk to a psychologist about trying exposure therapy. Exposure therapy is when a person is exposed to the thing they fear the most, but within a safe and supportive setting. In the case of ASAD, you would have to face your fears of separation. To do this, you would very gradually expose yourself to the anxiety provoking situation—such as being away from your home or loved ones—for short periods of time.[17]
- A psychologist or trained therapist can develop a specific exposure therapy program that can help you overcome your anxiety.
2Practice exposure therapy.[18] If your doctor or therapist decides that exposure therapy is a good idea for you, and you are ready to try it, there are several techniques you can use. For instance, you might start just by thinking about being separated from your home or loved ones, and describe how you feel. Later, you might practice being separated from your loved ones or being away from home for periods of time that increase in length, and then discuss how you felt.
- Even short-term exposure therapy treatments (three to six sessions) can help ease your anxiety.
3Ask your loved one to help you practice exposure therapy. If your therapist approves, asking your loved one to help you can make the therapy process easier. To begin, have your loved one go into a different room while you practice calming techniques, such as breathing exercises, or work on banishing anxious thoughts.[19]
- Gradually increase the distance and time that you spend away from your loved one.
Community Q&A
- Medications may be available to treat ASAD. However, research is still being conducted to determine which ones are most effective. Talk to your doctor about whether or not medications can be used to treat your case of ASAD.

A provisional ballot is an alternative voting method for a voter whose eligibility is in question or cannot be verified at their polling site. Provisional ballots help protect against voter fraud and are governed by state law (see Florida Statute 101.048 for more information).
Voters who vote a provisional ballot do not scan their ballots into the vote tabulation machine. Instead, provisional ballots are placed in secure envelopes to be delivered to the Supervisor of Elections office for further processing.
One of the most common reasons voters must vote a provisional ballot is not providing proper identification at the polls.
Additionally, registered voters who moved to Santa Rosa County from another Florida county but did not update their address prior to voting must vote a provisional ballot.
Only voters registered in Florida are permitted to vote in Florida.
All provisional ballots cast are reviewed for eligibility, and the majority are validated by the canvassing board and counted.
The secrecy of votes cast is protected during the canvassing board's review of provisional ballots and only legal requirements for voting are examined.
The legal standard used by the canvassing board to review provisional ballots is as follows:
If it is determined that the person was registered and entitled to vote at the precinct where the person cast a vote in the election, the canvassing board shall compare the signature on the Provisional Ballot Voter's Certificate and Affirmation with the signature on the voter's registration and, if it matches, shall count the ballot. § 101.048(2), F.S.
Voters who forget their ID do not need to provide evidence of their eligibility to the canvassing board, as the signature on the affirmation they sign at the polls will be compared to their signature on record with the Elections office.
Voters who vote provisional for other reasons (for example, eligibility is challenged by another person, in the wrong precinct when voting, do not appear on the precinct register, etc.), should provide evidence to the canvassing board no later than 5 P.M. two days after the election to support the validity of the provisional ballot.
Within 30 days of Election Day the Elections office will post online all persons who voted via provisional ballot whether their ballot was or was not deemed valid.

OFFICE: 6495 Caroline St, Ste F, Milton, FL 32570 * PHONE: (850) 983-1900 * FAX: (850) 983-1829 * HOURS: M-F 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
Under Florida law, e-mail addresses are public records. If you do not want your e-mail address released in response to a public-records request, do not send electronic mail to this entity. Instead, contact this office by phone or in writing.

Executors for Whitney Houston's estate are suing bosses at CPMG Mendham, LLC in a bid to recover the singer's personal belongings from her New Jersey home, which was sold earlier this year (14).
Marion Houston, the tragic singer's manager and sister-in-law, hired executives at the firm to sell the Mendham home in 2013, and it was approved by bankers at Wells Fargo in February (14), when an arrangement was made to allow the family access to retrieve the I Will Always Love You hitmaker's items, which included a baby grand piano, a jukebox, valuable artwork and home furnishings.
However, when relatives arrived to the house they were unable to enter the premises because the gates were chained and bolted and the locks on the doors had been changed.
Marion Houston alleges family members made two requests to retrieve the items in March (14), but were denied access, and she is now seeking damages and an injunction to prevent the defendants from exercising control over the items.
The lawsuit reads, "Ms. Houston's family members have a strong emotional attachment to many of the items and some of these items have considerable financial value and would hold particular financial value to Ms. Houston's fans and other collectors, because they belonged to Ms. Houston."

UFO Sighting Report - USA
Please note that the reports in this section have been submitted to UFOINFO/UFO ROUNDUP and accepted in good faith. No investigation has been carried out by UFOINFO.
With the increasing use of digital cameras we are seeing more photos showing alleged 'UFOs' - many of these could be insects, cloud shapes etc. As many readers have asked to see the photos I will be using some of them and leaving it up to the individual to make up their own mind - John @ UFOINFO.
September 20th 2006 : White City, Oregon
UFOINFO Sighting Form Report
Location: White City, Oregon USA
Date: Evening, 09/20/2006
Approach Direction: Was not moving.
Departure Direction: I don't know.
Witness Direction: To the side of us. We were driving home.
Description: We were driving home. We saw a big bright light, it was white. As we came closer we saw it was hovering right above the trees. Too close for comfort. It had red, white and blue lights. It was so close it was hard to see a shape, and the lights were so bright. Some lights were blinking, some were scrolling across the bottom. We passed it. It was 9:05. I drove back and it was gone. It had been less than a minute and it was gone. I am still in shock. This was on a wed. night. The following Friday night at 9:45 my daughter and I were driving home from town. Never again I thought this would happen. Not in a million years. But there it was. This time a bit higher in the air. And across the other side of the road. It was in a hamburger shape. My daughter watched as it slowly went up and just disappeared. Why is it so low, it scares me. I feel as if I was watching a movie. As if it did not really happen.
Color/Shape: long, bright and shaped kind of like a hamburger.
Height & Speed: It was not moving
TV/Radio/Press: I don't know. Nobody wants to listen and are in denial.

Cast for recovery is a group formed by a group of anglers in order to raise money for the charity Mind in order to continue their work supporting those with mental health.
The team is also looking to encourage people both young and old to explore the opportunities in fishing in order to relieve the stresses and burdens of every day life that some people like you and I find trivial yet those suffering from mental health find very difficult.
A further target is to purchase a small lake in France where the peace and seclusion offered will allow those suffering from health the opportunity to just get away from it all.
Each member of the cast for recovery team has either suffered mental health. Or has someone close to them that has.
It is unfortunately an invisible injury that affects more people that you may think and it is hoped that our efforts will help not only ordinary people but those in the armed forces and emergency services.
Thank you very much for taking the time to read about us and I hope you'll be able to help.

White House: US interests to guide Syria decision
WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House says President Barack Obama's decision on a possible military strike against Syria will be guided by America's best interests, suggesting the U.S. may act alone if other nations won't help.
National Security Council spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said Thursday that Obama believes there are core U.S. interests at stake in Syria. She said countries who violate international norms about chemical weapons must be held accountable.
The White House was responding to a failed vote in Britain's Parliament on Thursday to endorse military action against Syria over an alleged chemical weapons attack near Damascus last week. That means Britain won't play a direct role in any U.S. attack.
The defeat dealt a major blow to Obama's efforts to build an international coalition for a strike against the Syrian government.

There are plenty of resources for learning how to manage a portfolio of projects efficiently, but precious few that help you get priorities right
Being effective means doing the right projects, which requires identifying the projects that will create the most value. This website shows you how. First, learn how to be effective, then worry about efficiency.
Buying an expensive PPM tool may help you become more efficient, but the tool may mislead you with its project recommendations
Why? Because most software tools don't estimate project value. Instead, they prioritize projects using unsupportable heuristics, such as strategic alignment and balance. To see why these approaches do not measure value, why they do not constitute sound theories, and why they produce the wrong project recommendations, read Something You Should Know.
What makes us different is we provide solutions based on sound theory

The Jen Kao FW 2012 collection features a winning combination of fierce femininity and masculine structuring. The lookbook is ultra cool, emphasizing the wearability and laid-back nature of the line. The looks are styled with dark color palettes, favoring dark blues, blacks and grays.
The line features hats, shoes and coats. The hats are a memorable take on a riders helmet. The line is focused on textiles, juxtaposing delicate silks with layers of wool and heavy cottons. The sartorial structuring lends the casual line a sense of sophistication, which any smart-witted fashionista could dress up or dress down.
Jen Koa was born in LA, but raised in Kansas. She moved to New York in 1999 to study Fine Arts at New York University.

Recently I've started purging my apartment (more on that another time). I have a constant flow of massive recycling/garbage/donation bags and boxes going as I attempt to be ruthless with the amount of stuff I keep. One box that I knew I would eventually come across in my storage room was the one that was full of old CDs. The ones that didn't quite make the cut to be out in my livingroom on stands with the rest of the ones that are in (semi) regular rotation.
I wanted to get to that box because a few months ago, I had the urge to listen to a particular song. You know...one of those random moments when an old song pops into your head and you absolutely need to find the CD that you probably haven't listened to in years? At the time, I wasn't willing to tear apart my entire storage room for a box buried in the back corner, but I also didn't forget about finding this CD weeks and weeks later.
Which CD?
The Fugees. The Score.
This CD was on repeat for a large portion of high school. At least one or two songs made it onto the majority of the mixed tapes I made too. It's been back in my car for the past week or so, and it's good. So very good.
Remember when Lauryn Hill was sane? And so talented that we couldn't wait to see what she put out next? Yeah....me to.

Nick Smith Named Senior Associate Director Of Athletics For External Operations
Related Links
WORCESTER, Mass. – Holy Cross Director of Athletics Nathan Pine is pleased to announce the hiring of Nick Smith as Senior Associate Director of Athletics for External Operations. Smith will begin his tenure with Holy Cross in January 2018.
Smith joins the Crusaders after spending more than five years as Director of Athletics at Worcester-based Assumption College. At Holy Cross, he will be a member of the athletics senior staff with primary responsibilities of leading all revenue generation and extending the brand and messaging of Holy Cross Athletics through private philanthropy, corporate support, ticket sales, marketing efforts and strategic communications. Smith will also assume sport supervision duties of five varsity programs.
"We are excited to welcome Nick to Holy Cross," said Pine. "I have been impressed from afar by the job Nick has done leading the athletic department at Assumption, and we look forward to the addition of his experience, knowledge and leadership to our team. He will be a great addition to our staff and our culture."
Smith oversaw 24 NCAA Division II varsity programs and more than 540 student-athletes in his five years at the helm with the Greyhounds, where he has led the athletics department to a number of impressive advancements. At Assumption, Smith orchestrated a dramatic jump in philanthropy and fundraising, as well as continuous improvements in the Greyhounds' Northeast-10 Conference President's Cup standings. During his tenure, Assumption teams have won six conference championships and made nine NCAA tournament appearances while also excelling in the classroom with an Academic Success Rate ranked in the nation's top-15 for seven-straight years.
Smith is a member of the Assumption College Enrollment Management Division's Senior Management Team and has served on the NE-10 Executive Committee since 2013, chairing the group in 2017. He is also a member of the DII National Football Committee, where he has served as a co-chair of the Regional Advisory Committee for three years.
"I am very excited to join the Holy Cross community, and I would like to thank Director of Athletics Nathan Pine for this opportunity," said Smith. "Holy Cross has seen tremendous growth over the last few years, and I am honored to have the opportunity to contribute to the department's future success."
Prior to arriving at Assumption, Smith spent nine years at Stonehill College in Easton, Mass., serving in a variety of roles, including assistant and associate director of athletics. With the Skyhawks, Smith managed all aspects of the department's budget and provided administrative oversight for multiple varsity programs. Smith has also spent time working with the Contemporary Services Corporation at Gillette Stadium and at Bryant University in Smithfield, R.I.
A 2000 graduate of Southern New Hampshire University, Smith earned his Bachelor of Sport Management and was a four-year member of the men's lacrosse team, serving as captain in his senior season. He went on to earn his Master of Business Administration from Bryant University in 2002.
Smith currently lives in North Smithfield, R.I., with his wife, Melissa, and daughters, Alyson and Emily.
