Everything I Know About Fertility I Learned From the Year 1670
From Jean Twenge's "How Long Can You Wait to Have a Baby?" in The Atlantic this month:
The widely cited statistic that one in three women ages 35 to 39 will not be pregnant after a year of trying, for instance, is based on an article published in 2004 in the journal Human Reproduction. Rarely mentioned is the source of the data: French birth records from 1670 to 1830. The chance of remaining childless — 30 percent — was also calculated based on historical populations.
In other words, millions of women are being told when to get pregnant based on statistics from a time before electricity, antibiotics, or fertility treatment. Most people assume these numbers are based on large, well-conducted studies of modern women, but they are not. When I mention this to friends and associates, by far the most common reaction is: "No … No way. Really?"

A policeman sees a drunk man searching for something under a streetlight and asks what the drunk has lost. He says he lost his keys and they both look under the streetlight together. After a few minutes the policeman asks if he is sure he lost them here, and the drunk replies, no, and that he lost them in the park. The policeman asks why he is searching here, and the drunk replies, "this is where the light is."
This anecdote is silly, but the effect it describes shows up everywhere in life.
For software developers, source code is often "where the light is," and so that's where we focus by default.
But for all the problems we face in software development, almost none originate in source code. They are business problems, or communication problems, or infrastructure problems, or just plain old human-to-human problems.
When we turn a blind eye to the problems that accumulate upstream from our coding work, their damaging side effects do appear in the codebase. Work is rushed and goals are poorly defined, so code gets buggy and difficult to understand. The requirements keep changing, and a stable domain model never takes shape. The wrong tools are chosen because people who haven't created space for careful learning are under pressure to just pick something, quick.
All of these things impact the health of a codebase, and so they're easily mistaken for coding problems. As a result, programmers focus on coding best practices and idioms, because these things do generate a positive impact in the area that is most visible to them.
But this approach is like following a trail of footsteps under the streetlight, expecting it to lead you to the missing keys. It feels productive, but it will never get you to the right place.

Directed by: Bong Joon-ho
Starring: Chris Evans, Song Kang-ho, Go Ah-sung, Jamie Bell, Alison Pill, John Hurt, Tilda Swinton, Octavia Spencer, and Ed Harris
Tales of oppression have been told many times and the poor rising up against the rich is a common theme. Last year Elysium and the year before The Dark Knight Rises both told interesting variations of this tale but neither did it in a way that Snowpiercer did it. Snowpiercer is a visually stunning and philosophically intriguing, in the end it is hard not to find something for everyone in it. Each single act has a different purpose and thrives when doing so. Blockbusters now a days fail to live up to anything interesting while at the same time delivering the action and excitement that fuels Snowpiercer's every scene.
Based on the French comic book Le Transperceneige, Snowpiercer tells the story of an experiment gone wrong causing the world to freeze over and the only survivors are housed in a train that runs across the world. The train never stops and keeps everyone safe from the freezing cold outside. The year is 2031 and the state of the society on the train is in shambles. After many failed revolutions, the men and women of the tail end of the train decide that revolution is the way to go. Lead by Curtis Everett (Chris Evans), the tail end members begin making plans to overthrow the rest of the train.
Everett has devised a plan to get to the front of the train and take control of the all-powerful engine. With the help of fellow tail end members, Edgar (Jaime Bell), Namgoong Minsu (Song Kang-ho), Tanya (Octavia Spencer), and others, storm the preceding cars and overthrow the evil ruler Wilford (Ed Harris) and Mason (Tilda Swinton). Their plan is to rid the train of any prejudice and make the remaining crew members live together in harmony.
Snowpiercer is a movie attempting to be two different movie and succeeds, for the most part. It is trying to be an action movie as well as a commentary and the oppression of society. It shows just how badly the rich oppress the poor in an attempt to use them for their own benefit. Each train car is a different parts of society and different places in our society, it's most shown that the tail end is for the poor and the rich get the front of the train. In the middle are places derived for each social classes. The tail end has to work in certain cars providing for everyone while the rich get cars with sushi and a school. The commentary is bluntly obvious and really shows just how badly the poor do have it in society. It succeeds with showing us the struggle to gain freedom that certain parts of society have to go through.
Snowpiercer is a technical marvel. Shot on a very limited budget but the effects are more convincing that some movies with bloated budgets. The cinematography is dark and seedy but gives you a look into the live of those in poverty but at the same time shows the luxurious side of the rich but never really changes the grittiness of it. The action is well shot and brutal. One scene that baffles me is the scene where the revolutionist are fighting a bunch of masked men. It is weird simply because the masks are covering everything on their faces except their mouths. It is weird but also very enjoyable. I don't quite understand the logic behind it but the way that it was handled was great.
The acting is also great. Chris Evans yet again, after Sunshine, proves that he is more than Captain America. He gives Curtis a sympathetic edge to his character while also showing that he can bring emotions to a performance. The scene between Song Kang-ho and Chris Evans is by far the greatest achievement in his acting career. The stand out of the movie is Tilda Swinton. She takes on some of the ugliest roles and just makes it her own. It is clear that she is having a hell of a time playing the evil and crazy spokesperson for Wilford. Every scene with her contains so much energy and enthusiasm from her that it is simply astonishing that she hasn't received more recognition for her work.
What I didn't like about the movie was that it felt 20 minutes too long. 30 Minutes is devoted to setting up the conflict, an hour is devoted to solving this conflict, and the last 30 minutes dealing with the fallout of said conflict. I liked the way the movie was set up but when the action slowed down and dealt with the moral nature behind their actions it takes away from the momentum of the movie. I liked what the issues brought up but I felt like they were spending too much time on it. The one scene that I felt was way too long was when the Teacher (Alison Pill) is telling everyone about how Wilford and the train came to be. I know it is needed exposition but it was dragged out way to an unbearable length and could have used some trimming.
Despite some flaws with the runtime, Snowpiercer is a hell of a ride and shows just how well you can balance action and story.
Grade: B+

Be Aware Of Your Reasons
You have decided that you want to lose weight and improve your health. What is the first step? Start by asking yourself what your reason(s)is for wanting to make this change.
This may sound trivial, but if you do not have a conscience and powerful reason for wanting to lose weight, you will find plenty of reasons not to.
I'm assuming that, like me, a lot of you have tried and failed at some previous attempt to lose weight in the past. For me, the last time was about 2 1/2 years ago. I had lost about 50 pounds, which I had killed myself to do, and had kept it off for about 6 months. Two later, I gained back the 50 pounds plus another 8 pounds.
I had plenty of excuses. My wife and I bought our first house, my second son was born, I took a part-time job in the evening, ect... I kept finding excuses not to work out and my diet soon followed and went down the tubes.
After working so hard why did I let this happen?
I believe now that it came down to the fact that my reason for wanting to stay lean and healthy had changed. When I first began, I kept looking at pictures of myself at nineteen and I wanted to look like that again. There was nothing I could do about the thinning hair, but I could change my body. But somewhere along the way, looking like I did twelve years ago was no longer important.
The point to all of this is that you need to consciously pick a reason and write it down. It will probably be more than one and they should be something that is important to you. Important enough to get you through those rough days ahead when you feel like quiting.
Post you reasons somewhere that you will see them everyday. At your desk, ect... I like to place mine on the refrigerator so when I get that craving for some ice cream I have to stop and ask myself if it is worth it. It feels so good when I reach in and grab a bottle of water instead.
We all are starting from a different place. We all have reasons why we are where we are. We all have reasons why we don't want to be here anymore. Knowing these reasons and being aware when they change will help you greatly in achieving your goals.

Friday night, Jackson has two buddies spend the night, Cal and Hudson. They played basketball for three and a half hours outside and only came inside to eat an entire pizza and a pound of blueberries. They also drank a gallon of milk. Here they are before bedtime watching, what else....basketball!
I actually followed up with something I pinned on Pinterest...and this necklace arrived Friday.
Our friends AJ, Alli and Bowman were in town and they came over Friday night as well for pizza and light saber fights.
My sweeties outside under the Isaiah tree. Love this time of year when it starts to bloom!
Our church had their annual Easter egg hunt Saturday morning so we picked up Renzi's mom and all headed out for the fun! Here is my oldest baby and I before he dominated in his age group's egg hunt.
See that determination???
The boys afterwards in front of their loot.
Me and Walkman!
We raced to Jackson's soccer game after the hunt. Here is Walker enjoying some snacks on the sidelines.
He's a natural athlete!
Cute boys with Coach Furnish!
Whoever wasn't in the game at the time played with Walker. Sweet things!
And this morning, the Easter bunny came!!!!
We all went to church and brunch with family. Such a joyful day.
This one keeps me on my toes.
Mommy and her boys!!!! Love them so.
Walker and I were STARVING by the time church was over. This is us in the car on the way to brunch yelling at dad to drive faster!
And what Easter is complete without a couple of headlocks from your brother?
They even got me in the action. These pics might be the funniest ever. True depiction of wrestling with these stinkers.
Hope you all had a blessed day! So thankful for the price Jesus paid for all of us on the Cross. He is risen!!!

… with pictures from another trip last year…
This week I'm off work and since my mom is hosting her first Vegan Dinner this Saturday I wanted to use the time to help with the preparations. Cooking for 10+ people she needed a second stove and since a new stove (well, it's used, but looks new) won't look good in a not so new room it was about time to renovate it. When renovating a 100+ year old house (actually the room I was renovating is attached to the barn which is 200 years old) you never know what you'll find. And so I ended up with large areas of bare bricks, straw insulation and other curiosities. I didn't want to spend all week on this so I hurried with putting on a new coat of paint. Today I got done with the blue paint for the doors and frames – and we all agreed: it looks much better!
Now the utility room (attached to the kitchen) is equipped not only with another fridge, but also with a stove and table, storage spaces and others – ready to be used on Saturday.
After having spent all of yesterday applying the white paint I needed a break so my mom and I decided to drive to the swamp which is just 10miles from here and watch the Cranes that are gathering here before migration.
The Tister Bauernmoor is a moorland here in the Lüneburg Heath (a popular touristy region) in Northern Germany; it's a fairly new nature reserve of 1,400 acres in size (3,000 with another neighboring one). Less than twenty years ago the cranes started gathering here before migrating to the South. Over the years the swamps – a result of early turf cutting – became a popular spot for Crane populations of Northern Europe and during spring and fall you can see thousands of birds! It's the ideal place for ornithologists as other birds can be found as well (even an Eagle species!). I'm more into reptiles and ground-creeping stuff so here are two gems from last year that I was able to spot.
The snake (Vipera berus) is the only venomous species found in Northern Germany and it was a massive individual!
Last night we got to the swamps too late – there were only three cars and the sun had already begun to set. We took some pictures that are not worth sharing, but thanks to a follow nature lover who lent us his binoculars we could spot some fairly large groups of cranes. The noise they make when landing and taking off is amazing – I instantaneously feel like I'm somewhere in Africa. With (almost) no people around and those vast open spaces I always think to myself that you don't have to travel the world to find some (hidden) gems…. When we got back home in the dark the noise of the adjacent soccer field brought me back to reality.
Here are some impressions. I hope you enjoy them!

Start a teaching session with a multiple-choice question. We've provided one below.
Ask your learners to list the indications for ICD placement.
What are the short-term complications? How should a patient be monitored immediately following placement?
Ask your learners to list the potential long-term complications. Review this study's findings.
Will the results of this study alter how your learners discuss the potential benefits and risks of ICD placement with their patients?
Review with your learners the current CDC recommendations for the use of PrEP. In which at-risk patients should PrEP be considered? How effective is it? What are the potential concerns to using PrEP? Use the information in DynaMed Plus: Preexposure Prophylaxis for HIV (a benefit of your ACP membership) to help prepare a teaching session.
How should PrEP be prescribed? How should it be monitored? What are the possible adverse effects of tenofovir and emtricitabine?
Discuss the goals of a cost-effective analysis (CEA) with your learners. What variables need to be considered? How might different assumptions regarding each variable's cost, the prevalence of HIV infection among PWID, and the effectiveness of PrEP influence the conclusions of this CEA? Invite an expert in CEA to join your discussion.
Use a concise primer that explains key terms important to understanding CEAs to help teach what comparative effectiveness, cost-effectiveness, and incremental cost-effectiveness ratios are. What does it mean when one intervention dominates another?
Ask your learners how an analysis such as this one should influence planning for public health programs. Are the estimated costs of PrEP program for PWID worth it? Read the accompanying editorial to help frame your discussion.
Ask your learners what the risk factors are for gout. How does diet affect risk? Does altering intake of certain foods reduce risk?
How is a new diagnosis of gout made? Is joint aspiration always required? What is the differential diagnosis? How does one differentiate from septic arthritis?
How is an acute flare managed? Which patients with gout flare require hospitalization?
Which patients with gout require urate-lowering therapy? Which drugs should be used, when, and how are they monitored? When should allopurinol be used? Feboxostat? What are the potential adverse effects?
Use the already prepared teaching slides.
Use the already prepared multiple-choice questions to introduce various topics during a teaching session. Be sure to log on and answer the questions to earn CME for yourself.
Read the comic with your learners.
Teach at the bedside! Ask your team's patients on morning rounds how they pay for each of their medications. What is their copay? How much does their entire regimen cost each month? Ask each if they ever "cut corners" to try to save money? Is there variation in how much the similar (or same) drugs cost your patients? Were your learners surprised?
Review key sections of the position paper's appendix to identify the variables that affect drug pricing in the U.S. Ask your learners to list them. Why are drug prices higher in the U.S. than elsewhere? Why do costs vary from one patient to another? Do your learners think the recommendations will be enacted? Would they work if they were enacted?
Organize a seminar for residents who are looking for jobs for after training.
Invite physicians who have contracts with your health system for each inpatient and outpatient care to discuss what has surprised them in the "real world" regarding the "business" of being employed by others to provide care.
Review the paper's table with your learners. Why do they think the clauses noted in the table are placed in contracts? Are their good reasons? What are the problems?
Listen to an audio recording of this essay, read by Dr. Michael LaCombe.
Ask your learners how physicians may differ from other patients in their response to having an illness. In what ways can our medical knowledge be an advantage in facing disease? Can it be a burden?
What are frontotemporal dementia and frontotemporal lobar degeneration? What language and behavioral disturbances may be seen? How well (or not) do the symptoms correlate with the anatomical sites of neurodegeneration?
Have your learners ever considered how a lack of clear explanation for one's symptoms might affect a patient? How might it add an additional burden to dealing with illness? Do your learners think Dr. Pordy's intellectual curiosity and his medical training have helped him respond to this illness? How does it inspire them? Might his essay inspire and help some other patients?

Fans can look forward to getting another mixtape from 50 Cent after "The Kanan Tape" called "Reloaded."
Well here's some ironically good news. On Thanksgiving, 50 Cent was supposed to release The Kanan Tape for us while we wait for his upcoming Street King Immortal album to arrive, but that definitely didn't happen. But on Saturday, Fif called into DJ Whoo Kid and updated us with some new information on the tape, along with another major announcement.
Fif says The Kanan Tape will be coming out in the first week of December, which is this week btw, and will feature production from London On Da Track, Sonny Digital, Alchemist, and !llmind among others. It will come with 8 records in total and a short film to go with it, which was the cause of the project's setback (see IG post below).
But that wasn't all, Fif also announced that he's got ANOTHER mixtape coming after The Kanan Tape called Reloaded. He didn't reveal when exactly that'll be dropping, but it's definitely on the way, it came straight from his mouth.
Listen to the full 24-minute interview below, or fast forward to the 11:45 min mark for the Reloaded announcement.

Kaduna: Residents, stakeholders differ over government's religious bill, labour policies
Since he assumed office as the governor of Kaduna State on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mallam Nasir El-Rufai has come up with a number of policies aimed at developing the State and catering for the welfare of the people.
These policies include the feeding of school children in public schools, demolition of houses built by individuals and groups on government lands, initiation of religious bill to handle the problems of extremism among Christians and Muslims and the biometric verification of civil servants to know whether they will belong to labour unions or not.
These policies have generated and are still generating mixed reactions among the various interest groups, stakeholders and individuals within and outside the State.
We will not be surprised to hear about teething problems, but we expect these problems to be swiftly addressed within a governing ethos of continuous improvement. As pragmatic people, we understand that in executing policy we must not let the perfect be a restraint on the doable.
Before Governor El-Rufai's government commenced the free feeding of all pupils in the public primary and post-primary institutions in the State, the government had engaged in the demolition of several residential buildings erected on government lands, particularly public schools and hospitals.
Already, the School Feeding Programme which had gulped billions of Naira monthly has attracted public outcry, protests and even legal suit against the State government on the need for such programme in the midst of poverty, unemployment, decay in public infrastructure and non-payment of workers' salaries.
However, the government on its part has justified its action in engaging the school feeding project as a way of ensuring that the dwindling education in the State is improved upon among pupils, while parents and guardians are supported to send their wards to school.
El-Rufai argued at the launch of the feeding scheme in Kaduna, "today is a special day in the unfolding of the change agenda the All Progressive Congress (APC) was elected to implement", saying, "I am moved by the responsibility to implement the school feeding programme for primary school pupils."
"It marks the beginning of a different phase of the Kaduna State Government's project to expand access to education. We launched the programme today as a direct intervention in the health of our children, situating our schools as places to promote education and nutrition."
The Governor said: "Every school day from today, the Kaduna State Government will be providing a meal for 1.5m pupils. It is an unprecedented undertaking in this State, but one that we solemnly pledged to do when we were campaigning. It is a challenge in terms of its scale, cost and the logistics required to deliver the meals everyday.
"But our children deserve this, and more. We are conscious that it would save parents break-time money, empower the women within the community who have been selected as the catering vendors and expand the market for farm products. In fact, the school feeding programme is directly creating 17,000 jobs for catering vendors, each of whom will need to employ workers to help them deliver.
"Thus there is something for everyone in the School Feeding Programme. In seeking to take care of our children, we are creating jobs, boosting demand and exposing our people to new skills and hygiene standards and providing extra income. I urge everyone involved in the programme to discharge their responsibilities with the utmost sense of commitment, transparency and accountability."
On the implementation of the programme, El-Rufai said that the monitoring mechanism must be rigorous, and we invite the school-based management committees and Parent-Teacher Associations to review and provide us their observations on the implementation of the programme at the school level.
"We will not be surprised to hear about teething problems, but we expect these problems to be swiftly addressed within a governing ethos of continuous improvement. As pragmatic people, we understand that in executing policy we must not let the perfect be a restraint on the doable. It is in the process of actually feeding our school children that we can refine and perfect the programme".
Also El-Rufai shed light on what his administration was doing to improve other aspects of the educational sector, saying that "we began our education programme with the recruitment of teachers for core subject areas, conducted a needs assessment to identify how we can strengthen the capacity of current teachers and then announced the removal of all bureaucratic impediments to the career advancement and sense of fulfillment of professional teachers in the public school system."
According to him: "We made it clear that a professional teacher can rise to Grade Level 17, without having to stop being a teacher", while adding, "having taken steps to raise the morale and capacity of teachers as the frontline workers in delivering quality education, the government began addressing the question of the physical condition of the theatre in which they work, the schools."
"We inherited a baleful legacy of dilapidated schools, inadequate classrooms and no furniture for 50 percent of the pupils. The schools also often lacked water and toilet facilities. The APC government of Kaduna State responded by launching a school rehabilitation programme.
"It is a massive commitment to fix the more than 4,000 public primary schools in the state and transform them into conducive places for the delivery of quality education. We will strive to complete the rehabilitation within our term of office," the governor said.
But despite the initiatives of the government, there are some stakeholders who believed that the School Feeding Programme is a smokescreen for the government to mismanage the resources of the state. They have, therefore, decided to engage the Governor in a legal suit to expose his government.
As a result of this contention, a Kaduna-based legal practitioner, Mr. Maxwell Kyon, has dragged El-Rufai before a Kaduna Magistrate Court 4, challenging the free School Feeding Programme.
Kyon, who is the plaintiff in the suit, argued that there was no need for the governor to feed school children in the state, stressing that the initiative is unconstitutional. The outcome of this legal tussle will determine if the feeding project will continue in the state or not.
Religious Preaching Bill Heating Up The State
Another policy of the government that is also generating mixed reactions among the residents of the state is the demolition of several houses allegedly built on government lands. Recent victims of the demolition are residents of the Gbagyi Villa, by the Expressway. They were accused of taking over Kaduna Polytechnic land.
As residents battled with demolition order and trauma, the state government in a bid to bring religious sanity in the state had recently sent a bill to the State House of Assembly.
The Governor said he was actually disturbed by past religious upheavals in Kaduna State, hence the government decided to introduce relevant laws
regulating religious preaching and gathering in public places by Christian and Islamic clerics.
Already, the Governor has sent a copy of the bill, cited as "Religious Preaching Law" to the State House of Assembly and it is awaiting the approval of the legislators before it gets the final endorsement of the Governor.
According to the bill, "the two major religions in the state shall be regulated" by "a Committee of Jama'atu Nasir Islam (JNI) with equal representation of Izala and Darika religious groups in the case of Muslims", while "a committee will be set up by the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in the case of Christians."
There is nothing in the Bill that suggests any effort to abolish, stop or derogate on the freedom of religion and religious beliefs. It merely seeks to ensure that religious preaching and activities in the state are conducted in ways that do not threaten public order, public safety, and to protect the rights and freedom of other persons.
Also, an Interfaith Ministerial Committee is expected to be appointed by the governor.
The bill, however, stipulated that the Interfaith Ministerial Committee shall inter-face between JNI and CAN committees and exercise supervisory control over them", stressing that "the committee shall comprise a chairman to be appointed by the Governor on the recommendation of the Secretary of the State Government and the Special Adviser to the Governor on Internal Security."
Other officials to be represented in the committee include "the most senior officials of the government advising the Governor on Interfaith matters, members of JNI, CAN, a representative of Ministry of Justice; and one representative each from the Nigerian Police, the Department of State Security and Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps."
The bill which is expected to be enacted into law will ensure that "the religious bodies established under section 4 (a) and (b) of this Law shall issue licences approved by the Ministerial Committee, the licence shall be issued for a period not exceeding one year and a sponsored external preacher shall be issued a permit for the period of the event."
Besides, apart from the Ministerial Committee supervising all activities of religious bodies at the local government levels in the state, "the Kaduna chapter of JNI and CAN shall have and keep records of the churches and mosques including the data of all its preachers in the state."
According to the bill sponsored by the Governor, it will be expected that " all cassettes, CDs, flash drives or any other communication gadgets containing religious recordings from accredited preachers may be played inside the following places only — inside one's house, inside entrance porch (Zaure), inside the church, inside the mosque and any other designated place of worship."
"Any cassette containing religious recording in which abusive language is used against any person or religious organisation or religious leaders (past or present) is hereby prohibited in the state."
Offences that carry punishment under the bill include, preaching without valid licence. Also are included, "playing religious cassette or using a loud speaker for religious purposes after 8.00pm in a public place' using a loudspeaker for religious purposes other than inside a mosque or church and the surrounding areas outside the stipulated prayer times; using a loudspeaker in vehicles plying the streets with religious recording, abuses, religious books, inciting disturbance of the public peace; and carrying weapons of any description whether concealed or not in places of worship or to any other place with a view to causing religious disturbances."
However, the Deputy Governor of the state, Mr. Barnabas Yusuf Bala has cleared the air on the reasons government decided to sponsor the bill. He told a delegation of the Kaduna State Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) who visited him, that the bill is not aimed at clamping down on any religion, but to ensure that religious violence no longer threatens the state.
He said: "There is nothing in the Bill that suggests any effort to abolish, stop or derogate on the freedom of religion and religious beliefs. It merely seeks to ensure that religious preaching and activities in the state are conducted in ways that do not threaten public order, public safety, and to protect the rights and freedom of other persons."
The Deputy Governor pointed out that while the Constitution recognises the freedom of religion and thought as fundamental rights, it also obliges the government to ensure the safe exercise of these rights by legislating in the interest of public safety and order.
Bala argued: "This is the first time that the legislation is passing through a democratic process, with all the transparency that the public hearing and other legislative processes of the House of Assembly entails. Proposing this amendment is a deliberate decision by the government to subject the law to a democratic process, rather than
just enforce the provisions of the edict as passed since 1984."
Meanwhile, Kaduna State CAN chairman, Bishop George Dodo, expressed appreciation for the meeting and assured the government that CAN is preparing its position for submission to the House of Assembly and the state executive.
Dodo pointed out that "it's a bill that is being studied so the study continues, discussion continues, and when we are called for public hearings some memos may have been submitted to the State House of Assembly and the public hearing will give opportunity for everybody to express their mind."
"I don't think government has the power to enact laws that will supersede the constitution; the constitution guarantees every human being the right to practice their religion. I don't think there's a government that will enact a law in that regard," he added.
Meanwhile, some Christian clerics under the umbrella of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) have kicked against the controversial Religious Preaching Bill before the Kaduna State House of Assembly, saying that it is an obnoxious law targeted at Christians.
The Christian clerics said that there were enough laws in the country and within the state legal system to handle any attempt to break law and order by any Christian or Moslem in the state, urging the Governor to rely on the existing laws in prosecuting offenders.
"Taking away our rights to preach and evangelise is telling us not to practice our religion as we are commanded by the Lord Jesus," the PFN's Chairman in the State, Prof. Femi Ehimidu,said at a press conference held at the Household of Love Church, Sabo-Tasha in the state.
Ehimidu, while highlighting the danger such bill could pose to the society, said: "The bill must be killed before being passed into law because it has the latent explosives to set the state on fire.
According to him, the bill was unacceptable to the Pentecostal Christians in the state, adding that the religious body, PFN, would do everything possible to resist the bill being passed into law.
"The executive bill that the Government of Kaduna State has sent to the State House of Assembly is heating up the polity. It has the potential of breaking the fragile peace in Kaduna. We do not see any reason restricting and regulating religious activities should be the priority of the government when the issue prevailing in the state currently for every family is how to put food on the table.
"It is unimaginable to see our erudite Governor exhuming a military era edit which came into existence when the Constitution was suspended. It smacks of mischief."
Ehimidu argued the PFN had resolved to oppose the bill in its entirety because if passed into law, it has the potential of taking the state backward.The cleric also noted that the bill was not only obnoxious but directly offend the Christian faith.
He stressed on the possibility of Christians in the state protesting in the streets of Kaduna should the legislature attempt to pass the bill into law, pointing out that the bill is completely against the rights of Christians to practice religion, the country's Constitution and therefore must be jettisoned."
The cleric warned that with the bill, Governor El-Rufai has opened another vista of hostilities between Christians and Muslims in the State.
TUC, NLC Vow To Resist Anti-Labour Policies
Another policy initiative of the state government to curb the membership of trade unions among government workers has also received serious bashings from the leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC).
Governor El-Rufai had ordered another verification exercise to be carried out on the State workforce, while distributing verification forms to workers to indicate if they would prefer to continue as members of trade unions.
President of Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Ayuba Wabba and other trade union leaders who were in the state, resolved to declare a four-day national strike meant to compel the government to retrace its steps.
They said that Kaduna State would be the starting point to curtail the excesses of State Governors who don't have regard for the rights of workers in Nigeria.
Wabba, the TUC President, Bala Maigama and other national leaders of Trade Union organisations, who were in Kaduna, were resolute on ensuring that the state Governor is stopped from polarising the ranks of workers in the state.
Wabba said El-Rufai and other Governors who may want to adopt anti-workers policy in the country should be taught a lesson, saying that NLC and all the Trade Union leaders were in Kaduna to express solidarity to their cause.
"We have met and taken decisions that will bring sanity to the State and the country as a whole," he stressed.
The Labour leaders spoke against the Kaduna State Government's decision to make membership of trade unions optional for workers.
Wabba said: "All the leaders of our unions have agreed that we shall convoke a meeting of the central working committee. One day will be set aside for a national action in every state of the federation and in all local councils in the
country in solidarity with workers of Kaduna State."
According to him, "there will be a national solidarity strike for four days. All Nigerian workers, both private and public, both federal and states will also converge in Kaduna and walk through the Government House and the streets of Kaduna. This decision was taken so that we can assert our independence as a trade union body.
"As trade unions we are not an appendage of government. We are defending the interest of workers as prescribed by our constitution and the Charter of the United Nations (UN). Let me make it clear that the rights of the workers to belong to trade unions are not negotiable. This right we must assert."
He, however, advised the workers that in order to avoid being blackmailed by the government, they should "fill all the verification forms, make photocopies and give them to your respective union
leaders," pointing out that "we are conscious of the blackmail that the verification exercise could be used against workers."
Wabba argued: "From the information we have received and confirmed that verification has been going on for the last nine months and the government has been making propaganda that workers and the union are against the verification in Kaduna.
"We are aware that what has been happening is to use the verification exercise to delay workers' salaries. We say enough is enough to this process; we demand that all workers that have not been paid for the last nine months under the guise of verification be paid immediately. I am also aware that in Soba, during the verification exercise, 29 workers lost their lives as a result of bomb blast. It is very sad and disheartening that up till date their families have not been compensated.
"NLC is going to follow up the full compensation of the families of the victims. I am also aware that in the process of the verification a lot of our workers lost their lives in road accidents. I was informed that not less than 40 workers died in the process of this verification. I think it is very sad. How can we as a government use the propaganda and say workers are against verification. Workers have supported and participated in the exercise, but unfortunately it is a verification that does not have an end. This process must have an end."
TUC President, Maigama in his speech, said that "from all indication, Kaduna State Government is trying to outlaw unionism", saying that with the measures taken by the Union leaders, "we should shut down all activities in Kaduna until we are assured of our rights."
I don't think government has the power to enact laws that will supersede the constitution; the constitution guarantees every human being the right to practice their religion… The bill must be killed before being passed into law because it has the latent explosives to set the state on fire.
"It is sad that my colleagues and I have summoned ourselves to Kaduna today again to tackle these anti-unionism of El-Rufai. In this country, Nigerian workers are fed up with anti-union posture of some people and it is time we teach those in authority some lessons that we create wealth."
Reacting to the allegation by the labour leaders, the Kaduna State Government said that it was targeting April 2016 to conclude its payroll verification exercise, insisting that workers in the state have rights to state if they want to belong to
any union as members or not.
A statement by the media aide to the Governor, Mallam Samuel Aruwan pointed out: "Regarding union membership, the government respects the right of workers to freedom of association. The government considered that it is democratic that those who wish to exercise this right or not should indicate in writing.'
According to him: "The leadership of the Kaduna State NLC recently had a meeting with the Governor at which they expressed their objection to making union membership voluntary and its implications for check-off dues. Although the law obliges employers to collect dues on behalf of unions, it is not at all clear if the law makes union membership compulsory.
"This situation arose after some local councils had their accounts garnished by banks because of loans they guaranteed for some labour unions. The Kaduna State Government made it clear that it would make it possible for each of its workers to indicate if they wanted to be union members. The NLC expressed the view that union membership is automatic under our federal labour laws and appeared to doubt whether the numbers opting to remain will be significant if given the option to opt out. It was agreed that the NLC would submit a position paper on the two issues. Both sides also agreed to review the union membership issue, once the forms are returned by the workers, and the data compiled."

These innovative stations are being tested in the city of Bolzano, Italy. Called E-Move Charging Station, they will be used to recharge electric vehicles such as cars, motorcycles, bicycles or even laptops, cell phones or any other gadget. They are placed in strategic parts of the city and has been designed to integrate with the urban environment, without being an eye sore but also to be easy to recognize. Its sloping roof has eight photo-voltaic panels that capture solar energy, transforming it into electricity and can serve both pedestrians and people who have some type of electric vehicle. One side has a bench for people to sit and wait while recharging gadgets like an iPod and on the other side there is a ramp for vehicle access. Looking at ecological options for transportation, one of the most feasible seems to be the use of electricity. Electric vehicles reduce harmful emissions to zero as well as greatly decreasing noise pollution, but the energy source needed to recharge these vehicles is not always ideal, as power plants work with fossil fuel, coal, atomic energy, etc.., which are not exactly environmentally friendly. The idea behind the E-Move Charging Station is very positive because they only use clean energy (sunlight) to operate. Depending on the results of this initial trial, we may soon see clean green recharging stations appearing in other cities and even other countries.

God, The Father, Loves You
The word father is a difficult word for many. For many, it represents abandonment, hurt, or no connection because of his absence. Our father experience, in many ways, shapes our view of God, our Heavenly Father.
If you've never felt the compassion, love, and understanding of a father, you might struggle to relate when it says in Psalm 103:13 that, "The Lord is like a father to his children, tender and compassionate to those who fear him." You may have a difficult relationship with your father, or no relationship at all, but we want you to know, even as you struggle with the word father, you are safe to drop your guard when it comes to your Heavenly Father.
When your earthly father ran from you, your Heavenly Father sought you.
"For this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I myself will search and find my sheep." - Ezekiel 34:11
When your earthly father has abandoned you or failed you, your Heavenly Father won't.
"...For the Lord your God will personally go ahead of you. He will neither fail you nor abandon you." - Deuteronomy 31:6
When your earthly father had no idea you were crying, your Heavenly Father did.
"You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book." - Psalm 56:8
When your earthly father wasn't there to cheer you on, your Heavenly Father was delighting in you the whole time.
"For the Lord your God is living among you. He is a mighty savior. He will take delight in you with gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs." - Zephaniah 3:17
When your earthly father couldn't give a little of his time for you, your Heavenly Father gave His Son for you.
"God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him." - 1 John 4:9
When your earthly father isn't around to talk to about your problems, your Heavenly Father is.
"Give your burdens to the Lord, and he will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip and fall." - Psalm 55:22
When your earthly father isn't even thinking about you, your Heavenly Father is.
"How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered! I can't even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! And when I wake up, you are still with me!" - Psalm 139:17-18
When your earthly father didn't pass his heritage to you, your Heavenly Father has and calls you His heir.
"For his Spirit joins with our spirit to affirm that we are God's children. And since we are his children, we are his heirs. In fact, together with Christ we are heirs of God's glory. But if we are to share his glory, we must also share his suffering." - Romans 8:16-17
When you feel like a part of you is missing because you don't know your earthly father, you are complete in your Heavenly Father.
"For in Christ lives all the fullness of God in a human body. So you also are complete through your union with Christ, who is the head over every ruler and authority." - Colossians 2:9-10

The access of evil
by Clint – October 18, 2009
In the realm of reporting, a journalist distinguishes himself from his competitors through effective sourcing. Any staffer can reap information from press releases and meeting minutes. Rarer is the ability to establish strong and reliable lines of communication with high-value sources. As the journalist increases his level of access, he increases his worth to his […]
Democracy, the 'Obama army' and change
by Chris – November 25, 2008
Noam Chomsky recently spoke about the Miraculous Display of Democracy, a.k.a. our election of Barack Obama. I thought this passage was good food for thought: In Haiti, there was an election in 1990 which really was an extraordinary display of democracy much more so than this. In Haiti, there were grassroots movements, popular movements that […]

One of the perks of taking a class in an actual beadmaking studio was that I got to do some shopping while I was there! I'd completely run out of clear glass, so I wasn't hopeful about doing any encased focal beads for the trunk show. But I managed to pick some up over the weekend, so we're in business.
For many beadmakers, the search for the 'perfect' clear glass is frustrating. There are many options out there, some better than others. The problem with clear glass is that if there is a flaw or scratch within the glass rod itself, it shows itself in the beautiful clear casing that you've worked so hard on. That sucks. Nasty bubbles, 'scum', generally gross looking problems, all can ruin a beautiful bead. If you order plain old Effetre clear, that's likely what you'll get. The next step up is Effetre 'Super Clear'. I've recently tried some, and I can't say that I was all that wowed with it. Compared to the amazing clear I now use exclusively, it's not that impressive.
We're lucky that there are many more options in glass now than there were 10 years ago. Now, there is an amazing clear glass made by Double Helix, an American glassmaking company. I swear that their clear glass, Zephyr, will change your life. If you're – ahem – willing to pay about $44 CDN a pound (compared to $12 for Effetre Super Clear). I'll admit I was skeptical about this 'magical', frighteningly expensive clear glass, but after trying it out, I wouldn't even consider using any other clear. It's that good. Aside from the fact that it really is crystal clear without any scum or bubbling (hence no tedious stripping of your molten rod before you can apply a gather to your bead) – it melts like BUTTER, so encasing a bead is much, much faster. It's just so easy to use. To me, it's totally worth the steep price tag because it makes things stress-free and efficient, and my encasing always looks beautiful. I can't say enough good things about it. I'm sure it's made from Unicorn tears.
If you make the switch to Zephyr but still have a bunch of crummy clear glass you need to use up, there are a bunch of things you can do with it. The easiest might be to use it as the core of a bead that you're going to cover with an opaque color – which has the added bonus of sparing your more expensive glass. If you're going to etch a bead made with clear glass, I don't think the imperfections will matter much. Here's one other thing you can try: some say that pickling your clear glass does help, and I'm sure that's true (read a discussion on LampworkEtc. about it here). In the past I've soaked mine in vinegar for a good long while, and it seemed to greatly improve things.
So now that I've acquired two whole glorious pounds of Zephyr, I'm looking forward to sitting down to make some beautiful galaxy beads, encased prairie beads, triangle beads… uh… flower beads…
I also treated myself to some raku frit that I'm looking forward to playing with. It does really interesting things, turning different colors depending on how you work it in the flame. Something new to experiment with is always fun.
I'm off to the torch today to see what I can do with my newly acquired beadmaking skills. Stay tuned.

The Balance of Life...
This week has been crazy. There's been so much to enjoy, but by equal measure, there has been more than enough to loath. This is the balance of life though, I suppose. People wouldn't care to believe that we could be so young but go through so much. Life dares to throw some of the most astonishing situations at us, and simply just says to us 'cope', so we do. But it's not easy. It never is.

yoor wi: street
White buses packed to the brim with passengers, lurching to one side. Battered, dented black-and-yellow taxis honk at pedestrians on the sidewalk, wildly careening across intersections or reversing down an entire street. Car-rapides, buses painted in bright designs, zoom past, with young men hanging from the back announcing the destination to anyone in earshot. Mecs on motorcycles, clad in slick polos and gold-rimmed sunglasses veer around the traffic. A three-lane highway screeches to a halt as three large white cows meander across. Shiny black Range Rovers, the ultimate status vehicle, traverse the highways alongside ugly-faced goats. Skinny horses snort dust and pull their carts down sandy lanes, past taxicabs parked haphazardly on the sidewalk. There is a rhyme and reason to Senegalese transportation, but I haven't figured it out quite yet.

Jerez Sherry Tour Private
Private Sherry Tour in Jerez to discover the world famous Jerez wine region, where Sherry wines are produced since hundreds of years.

You will be guided through the rows upon rows of casks, getting to know about the criadera and solera methods used to blend different vintages, and the difference between the dry finos, amontillados and olorosos. The wine tour in Jerez ends in the sacristía – the "sacristy" – with a tasting of the various wines, traditionally drawn from the barrel by the venenciador, using a cup attached to a slender rod.
This Sherry Wine Tour has an approximate duration of 8 hours for a minimum of two people. The final itinerary for this Jerez wine tour may vary depending on vineyards availability and your own preferences.

Sherry Wine Cellars in Jerez
Osborne Winery
The Osborne winery was founded in 1772 in El Puerto de Santa María and is considered one of the oldest companies in the world and the oldest in Spain. It's symbol is the famous black bull visible in many Spanish roads.
The Osborne bull, one of the most iconic symbols of Spain, was first designed and erected in Cadiz in 1956 as an advertisement of the Osborne sherry. They were black with the brand name "Veterano" painted on them in red. When the Spanish law decreed that there could be no advertising near major roads, the brand name was painted over in black but the bulls stayed because by then they were regarded as a symbol of Spain and considered to have an aesthetic or cultural significance.
González Byass Winery
At González Byass, you can view such hallowed cellars as Los Apósteles and La Constancia. You might even catch a glimpse of the famous Sherry-sipping mice, which have returned after a few years' absence following some repair work in the cellar (a glass and a miniature ladder are set out for their indulgence). You will learn how a cask from the private supply of dry Sherry kept by José de la Peña, the winery founder's uncle, was shipped to England, giving birth to a legend: Tío Pepe, the best-selling aperitif wine in the world.
Domecq Winery
Bodegas Domecq is the oldest winery in Jerez with more than at 269 years. In this winery you will learn how an undelivered shipment of wine spirits originally destined for Holland was left to mellow in old Sherry casks and metamorphosed into the first Jerez Brandy in 1874: Fundador.
You'll also see the touching memorial to the late José Ignacio Domecq (known to all as "The Nose"), who was armed with a formidable proboscis and an uncanny knack for using it. No one could sniff out the qualities of a wine better than he.

Brits, grits and shi...
...ny new things for you to read. Such as Royston Blake having a rant over at Alan Griffiths' Brit Grit blog. He's trying to get you supporting his Facebook campaign, and who am I to tell him nay? Who is anyone to tell him that? Oh yeah, Serpent's Tail... But they will relent. When the see the sheer power of the FREE THE MANGEL ONE campaign (erm, currently 103 members... we need you!) they will see the light and get publishing.

Me and my guest blogging turn
I've got a guest blog post over at Scott Pack's Me and My Big Mouth today, talking about Royston Blake, Wrongun and why I am trying to make Wrongun a reality by creating a Facebook campaign. Sounds a bit weird, me putting it like that. And it probably still sounds weird even after you've read the piece. But it's there all the same if you want some more skinny on why the book has not yet been published. Scott posts regularly on his blog so you should keep an eye on it (especially the fire station book swaps).

Some people know I wrote a fourth Mangel/Royston Blake novel. Most people wouldn't even know there was a first, second and third, but I can't worry about them. I can only worry about the folks who liked one or more of the first three, and might be up for helping to turn a trilogy into a series. To be honest, I don't even worry about them, really. Why worry? But if you are a Blakey fan (or even even if you're not), please join this Facebook campaign.
In the era of Barack Obama, I believe that anything is possible. Which is why I think Royston Blake - a former nightclub bouncer with a history of mental problems - could become prime minister of... Oh, no, we're not trying to do that. All we're trying to do is get him back out there, in book form, doing what he does and kicking the shit.
Does this "campaign" have a goal, an attainable target? Hopefully it will soon. I'll keep you posted. Meanwhile...

Frankly Mr Shankly, since you ask...
I have gone and let myself become blog-shy again. And there I was, getting into a good old groove with those typewriter cast thingies. But we move on, right? And we cannot let ourselves become slaves to technology... even technology that is older than we are. Plus I ran out of paper.
Been doing the usual stuff - writing a novel, a bit of reading, wondering what it would it would be like if you were an Olympic high jumper and you could actually fly... but you had to keep it a secret. A tricky balance, right? One air boost too far and Matthew Hopkins will be on your arse.
They have author pages on Amazon. I have populated mine with some stuff. Like it will generate any new readers. But hey, maybe it will?
I mentioned Harrogate, right? As in the Theakston Old Peculier Crime Writing Fest thing they hold there. If you're going, my event will be "Putting the Boot In" on Saturday, 14th July, alongside Ray Banks, Craig Russell and moderated by Martyn Waites. We will be talking about kicking the shit out of people.
That is all. Stay cool and take it easy with those air boosts.
