Our research program aims to determine the neural basis for spatial cognition, decision-making, and episodic memory. Recent projects have focused primarily on examination of multiple single-unit recordings made in freely behaving animals. Our most recent work concerns recordings made in the parietal cortex, hippocampus, subiculum, and premotor cortex in rats performing either a multiple-T working memory task or executing traversals of differently shaped spiral paths. One new project will examine the activity patterns of basal forebrain neurons during performance of a task demanding dynamic allocation of attentional resources.

The global protein A resin market is expected to witness considerable growth during the forecast period due to the increasing research and development activities and increasing prevalence of chronic diseases. High traction for monoclonal antibodies in biopharmaceutical industry is supporting the growth of the global market. The increasing demand for monoclonal antibodies has fueled the need for high capacity commercial scale purification of monoclonal antibodies. Protein A resins are designed for the simple and rapid purification of antibodies. Therefore, an increase in demand for monoclonal antibodies implies an increase in demand for protein A resins. The market for natural protein A resin was the larger than recombinant protein A resin market in 2015; however, recombinant protein A resin market is expected to witness the higher growth during the forecast period. Among the different matrix of the protein A resin chromatography, agarose-based matrix was the largest contributor to the global protein A resin revenue in 2015. Biopharmaceutical industry was the largest end user of the protein A resins in 2015, as most monoclonal antibody research development activities are carried out in this industry.

The increasing compliance for low cost biosimilar antibodies in emerging economies, and increasing number of contract research organizations (CROs) in biopharmaceutical industry are expected to create ample revenue generation opportunities in the global protein A resin market. However, increasing traction for alternative antibody purification methods may hamper the growth of the global protein A resin market to some extent.
Protein A, a 56 kDa surface protein, is found on the cell wall of Staphylococcus aureus bacterium. The protein has immunoglobulin-binding domains which bind to proteins, mostly immunoglobulin G (IgG). Protein A binds to the Fc region or Fab region of immunoglobulins, thus, increasingly being used for immune precipitation or antibody purification applications. Protein A ligand is used for the affinity chromatography step in commercial-scale production of monoclonal antibodies. The key factors driving the use of protein A resin for antibody purification are high antibody selectivity, increased antibody yield and excellent antibody purity, and ease of operation in large as well as small scale antibody purification.
Geographically, North America accounted for the largest share in the global protein A resin market in 2015, owing to the large number of clinical trials for the monoclonal antibody based therapeutics and increasing traction for biosimilars with the recent U.S. Food and Drugs Administration in the region. The U.S. contributed largest revenue to the North American as well as global protein A resin market. The country is expected to remain the largest market for protein A resin globally during the forecast period.
The protein A resin market is expected to witness the highest growth in Asia-Pacific during the forecast period. The highest growth in the region is attributed to the increasing compliance for biosimilars and shifting global interest for expanding biopharmaceutical manufacturing capacities in the emerging economies of the region.

I had seen the impressive white building with green tiled roofs from the outside, but never guessed I would ever go inside, mostly because as a non-muslim, I didn't see any way I would be allowed inside.
One of my English language students suggested we go to the mosque for her last class, since we needed to find a different location than usual. As it turns out, there is a restaurant and cafe that are open to the public. She had been there several times before and loved it.
La Grande Mosquée de Paris is located in the 5th arrondissement next to the Jardin des Plantes. The structure is quite impressive from the outside, and the main entrance for religious activities is on the Western façade (rue Georges Desplas).
We met at the South-Eastern corner, at the intersections of rue Daubenton and rue Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, where there is an entrance into a courtyard that leads to a restaurant and a Hammam (a spa exclusively for women).
My student, a young woman about my age, told me she had been to the hammam several times and really enjoyed the experience. She said the experience has different stages, from a massage to baths to some extreme form of body-scrubbing. I'm not sure I completely understood the entire process. Being a little skittish of strangers touching my body, I may never try out the wonders of the hammam, but it comes highly recommended from my dear student!
Once inside…
The first space that you see is the terrace seating in the courtyard that leads inside. It's filled with trees and tables and beautiful tiles.
Once you go up the stairs to the interior, the entrance to the hammam is on the left, next to the pastry station, and then there are two more spaces to choose from where you can sit and drink tea or eat. The first is straight back, and it's another outdoor courtyard. The second is to the right, and it's a luxurious space to sit and have tea. There are large comfortable benches and chairs with large round metal tables.
This space seems to wind around behind some booths and meander down a long corridor. It's filled with more booths and comfortable seating. I imagine it would be a perfect space for a big wedding reception!
There were people in all of the different spaces when we arrived in the late afternoon, though the long (wedding reception) corridor was empty. I'm sure it fills up for dinner though!
Tea and Pastries
We bought our pastries at the pastry counter (2 euros each), and then sat in a booth in the indoor restaurant area. The waiter comes around with tea (there is only one flavor) every few minutes, and you might need to catch his eye. Each glass of tea is 2 euros as well.
The tea is a mint and honey flavor, and the pastries I chose were delicious. My student's pastries were quite dry, so she didn't enjoy them as much. My suggestion: if it looks like it might be dripping with honey, pick that one! haha!
The atmosphere was incredibly relaxed and quiet. It was a perfect place for our final English class!
I look forward to going back again and sitting out on the terrace in the beautiful summer weather.

TOKYO — A Japanese journalist returned to Tokyo on Thursday after being freed from more than three years of captivity in Syria.
Jumpei Yasuda was released on Tuesday and taken to neighboring Turkey.
Yasuda, wearing a black T-shirt, was escorted from his plane at Tokyo's airport by Japanese officials and ushered into a black van. He left without talking to a large group of reporters who had waited for his arrival.
On an earlier flight from the southern Turkish town of Antakya to Istanbul, Yasuda said he was happy to be going home after living in "hell" for more than three years, but was worried about how he will catch up with a changed world.
"I'm so happy to be free," he told Japan's NHK television on a flight from Antakya in southern Turkey to Istanbul. "But I'm a bit worried about what will happen to me or what I should do from now on."
Yasuda, 44, who was kidnapped in 2015 by al-Qaida's branch in Syria, said he felt as if he'd fallen behind the rest of the world and was uncertain how to catch up.
He described his 40 months in captivity as "hell" both physically and mentally. He said he was kept in a tiny cell and tortured. There was a time when he was not allowed to bathe for eight months, he said.
"Day after day, I thought 'Oh I can't go home again,' and the thought took over my head and gradually made it difficult for me to control myself," he said.
Yasuda was kidnapped by a group known at the time as Nusra Front. A war monitoring group said he was most recently held by a Syrian commander with the Turkistan Islamic Party, which mostly comprises Chinese jihadis in Syria.
Yasuda said he believes he was moved several times during his captivity but stayed in Syria's northwestern province of Idlib, where he sometimes heard distant firebombing.
"I was living in endless fear that I may never get out of it or could even be killed," Yasuda told another Japanese broadcaster, TBS. He said he gradually became pessimistic about his fate because his captors kept breaking their promises to release him.
His release Tuesday came suddenly when his captors drove him to the border with Turkey and dropped him off and handed him over to Turkish authorities, he said.
Japanese officials say Qatar and Turkey helped in the efforts for Yasuda's release, though their exact roles were not clear.
Yasuda, a respected journalist who began his career at a local newspaper, started reporting on the Middle East in the early 2000s and went to Afghanistan and Iraq. He was taken hostage in Iraq in 2004 with three other Japanese, but was freed after Islamic clerics negotiated his release.
He worked as a cook in Iraq for nearly a year as part of his research for a 2010 book about laborers in war zones. He also wrote articles about his 2004 captivity.
But this time, his captors took away all his reporting equipment including his camera, depriving him of any tangible records.
"I was robbed of all my luggage, and that made me so angry," Yasuda said. "I couldn't do any of my work for 40 months."
His last work in Syria involved reporting on his friend Kenji Goto, a Japanese journalist who was taken hostage and killed by the Islamic State group.
Syria has been one of the most dangerous places for journalists since the conflict there began in March 2011, with dozens killed or kidnapped.
Several journalists are still missing in Syria and their fates are unknown.

Yemen's Houthi rebels tighten siege on president
Houthi fighters ride a military truck outside the Presidential Palace in Sanaa Jan. 21, 2015. (Reuters)
A day after Yemen's Houthi rebels inched closer to overthrowing the president and taking over power, their gunmen appeared on Wednesday standing guard outside the private residence of president Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi, witnesses said.
The leader of the Shiite militia, which is allied with Iran and Lebanon's Hezbollah, made a televised speech on Tuesday night hours after his forces took over the presidential palace in Sanaa. During his address he warned that "all options are open" in their move against the authority of President Hadi.

I am about to sign a 1 year lease and the landlord is asking for first month, security deposit and 11 post dated checks for each monthly rent until the end of the lease. I can see why he is doing that but I can't help thinking there is something sketchy about it. What if I have to move after 6 months for professional reason? I feel like he is holding my money hostage.
Is this normal practice from LL? Should there be a specific clause in the lease that speaks to this and protects me.
Thanks for your help

On Chicken Nuggets and Nutrition
Chicken nuggets taste good. That's an understatement. They are a marvel of food engineering made to directly push the buttons of the food-desire centers of our brains. They are arguably one of the tastiest things ever invented, and possibly one of the unhealthiest food that one can consume. I just saw an ad on television for Tyson chicken nuggets. And it was, of course, aimed directly at parents and, by extension, their children. There were children in the ad eating them and smiling and I couldn't help but think to myself, why would any half-nutritionally-conscious parent ever give their child something like that to eat.
Sure, they are tasty and easy and there are a myraid of dipping sauces to accompany the golden nuggety goodness, but they are so bad for you! And they are marketing them directly to children!
So I comment on this to my wife and she suggest what alternative is there for a parent whose kid won't eat anything? So I postulated that perhaps the child wouldn't have acquired a taste for chicken nuggets if the parents hadn't given them to the child in the first place?
And so the topic came up of what did people do when their kids didn't like what was offered to them before there were chicken nuggets? Invented in the 1950s but first introduced to the American public in 1980, we were raised, for the most part, as children who didn't know chicken nuggets. What did we eat before then? I guess we ate whatever was put in front of us. Our parents were, for the most part, children of depression-era parents who likely made sure they ate what was available, but as the generations went on, things changed we moved further and further away from that mindset.
Now we have super cheap, super-not-very-healthy food choices that may be on sale for $3.99 for a three pound bag of chicken nuggets. It baffles the mind the number of choices we have available to us and yet none of them are terribly healthy for us. I've been trying to cook most or all of the food I eat and as much work as that is, I think I do feel better for it. At the least, I can say that I'm taking in fewer chemicals than before.
So here's to making your own food, but sometimes I just crave that golden, delicious chicken nugget.

Body Corporate by-laws
The by-laws are the rules for the building outside those imposed by legislation.
By-laws can come into existence through any number of means, but most buildings probably still have by-laws based on the first set they were registered with. Those by-laws may (or may not) adequately cater for the needs of the building today.
A common misconception is that if the by-laws are registered they are lawful and are therefore valid or enforceable. This is not the case. When registering a CMS the Titles Office merely looks at the form of the document, not the content of the by-laws in it.
There are two key services we offer when it comes to by-laws.

POS systems undoubtedly contribute a lot to ensure that customer transactions are carried out smoothly and efficiently at all times, which makes them a critical part of every store or restaurant. While they generally do not require much in the way of maintenance, it is imperative that POS systems are always in perfect working conditions. After all, they perform a very critical task and having them malfunction means that you will have to rely on manual cash registers, which are both inefficient and prone to errors.
Due to this, you may want to follow some tips to ensure that you carry out proper maintenance work on all of your point of sale systems:
Ensure Proper Ventilation and Airflow – POS systems, just like most computer hardware, tends to get hot while operated and therefore need proper cooling to avoid damage due to excessive heat. For this, proper placement of your store or pub point of sale system is quite critical: make sure it is getting a good airflow, as well as enough space to vent hot exhaust air to the outside. Avoid placing them in cramped spaces and close to walls as much as possible. Link here https://pointofsale.sydney/ offer a great POS system that will perfect to your business.
Teach Your Staff About Proper Usage Guidelines – While POS systems are powerful, they are equally fragile if their users are not careful around them. As most of these systems are likely to be used by some of your employees, make sure you teach them how to correctly operate them, as well as things they should avoid doing in order to not cause unwanted strain or damage on the POS systems.
Clean on a Regular Basis – Dust build up is common on POS systems, and can lead to all sorts of trouble, including overheating due to the cooling vents being blocked off. In severe cased, dirt and debris can build up in such a way that it can short circuit and damage the system, thus rendering it inoperable. Doing regular clean ups and inspection can avoid such problems, which is why you want to schedule them in such a way that somebody attends to it once every few weeks.
Call Some Experts – If you are unsure about anything regarding the proper function of your POS systems, it may be a wise idea to call in some experts to deal with the situation, as well as get some useful advice about proper maintenance guidelines. Most of them will probably agree to carry out regular inspection and maintenance of your POS systems for a small fee. Deciding whether to hire them is your call, but it is recommended to do so if you do not have much experience handling this kind of equipment yourself.

Walter Cronkite
Walter Leland Cronkite, Jr. (November 4, 1916 - July 17, 2009) was an American news reporter. He was the anchor of CBS News from 1962 to 1981.
Important events he reported included when President John F. Kennedy was shot dead; the Apollo 11 moon landing; the Vietnam War; and the Watergate scandal, which led to President Richard Nixon resigning from his position. Due to how much he knew and his honesty, he was often called "the most trusted man in America."
Cronkite was born on November 4, 1916 in St. Joseph, Missouri. He studied at the University of Texas at Austin.
He was also known for his extensive coverage of the U.S. space program, from Project Mercury to the Moon landings to the Space Shuttle. He was the only non-NASA recipient of a Moon-rock award. Cronkite is well known for his departing catchphrase "And that's the way it is," followed by the date on which the appearance aired.
Cronkite made history when he became the first television reporter to televise the assassination of John F. Kennedy.[1][2]
He was married to Mary Elizabeth "Betsy" Maxwell from 1940 until her death in 2005. They had three children.
Cronkite died on the morning of July 17, 2009 in New York City, New York from Cerebrovascular disease, aged 92.[3]

Recommended experience: Working knowledge of JavaScript
Working with strings
String concatenation causes major problems with Internet Explorer 6 and 7 garbage collection performance. Although these issues have been addressed in Internet Explorer 8 — concatenating is actually slightly more efficient on IE8 and other non-IE browsers such as Chrome — if a significant portion of your user population uses Internet Explorer 6 or 7, you should pay serious attention to the way you build your strings.
Consider this example:
var veryLongMessage =
'This is a long string that due to our strict line length limit of' +
maxCharsPerLine +
' characters per line must be wrapped. ' +
percentWhoDislike +
'% of engineers dislike this rule. The line length limit is for ' +
' style purposes, but we don't want it to have a performance impact.' +
' So the question is how should we do the wrapping?';
Instead of concatenation, try using a join:
var veryLongMessage =
['This is a long string that due to our strict line length limit of',
' characters per line must be wrapped. ',
'% of engineers dislike this rule. The line length limit is for ',
' style purposes, but we don't want it to have a performance impact.',
' So the question is how should we do the wrapping?'
Similarly, building up a string across conditional statements and/or loops by using concatenation can be very inefficient. The wrong way:
var fibonacciStr = 'First 20 Fibonacci Numbers
for (var i = 0; i < 20; i++) {
fibonacciStr += i + ' = ' + fibonacci(i) + '
The right way:
var strBuilder = ['First 20 fibonacci numbers:'];
for (var i = 0; i < 20; i++) {
strBuilder.push(i, ' = ', fibonacci(i));
var fibonacciStr = strBuilder.join('');
Building strings with portions coming from helper functions
Build up long strings by passing string builders (either an array or a helper class) into functions, to avoid temporary result strings.
For example, assuming
buildMenuItemHtml_ needs to build up a string from literals and variables and would use a string builder internally, instead of using:
var strBuilder = [];
for (var i = 0, length = menuItems.length; i < length; i++) {
var menuHtml = strBuilder.join();
var strBuilder = [];
for (var i = 0, length = menuItems.length; i < length; i++) {
this.buildMenuItem_(menuItems[i], strBuilder);
var menuHtml = strBuilder.join();
Defining class methods
The following is inefficient, as each time a instance of
baz.Bar is constructed, a new function and closure is created for foo:
baz.Bar = function() {
// constructor body
this.foo = function() {
// method body
The preferred approach is:
baz.Bar = function() {
// constructor body
baz.Bar.prototype.foo = function() {
// method body
With this approach, no matter how many instances of
baz.Bar are constructed, only a single function is ever created for
foo, and no closures are created.
Initializing instance variables
Place instance variable declaration/initialization on the prototype for instance variables with value type (rather than reference type) initialization values (i.e. values of type number, Boolean, null, undefined, or string). This avoids unnecessarily running the initialization code each time the constructor is called. (This can't be done for instance variables whose initial value is dependent on arguments to the constructor, or some other state at time of construction.)
For example, instead of:
foo.Bar = function() {
this.prop1_ = 4;
this.prop2_ = true;
this.prop3_ = [];
this.prop4_ = 'blah';
foo.Bar = function() {
this.prop3_ = [];
foo.Bar.prototype.prop1_ = 4;
foo.Bar.prototype.prop2_ = true;
foo.Bar.prototype.prop4_ = 'blah';
Avoiding pitfalls with closures
Closures are a powerful and useful feature of JavaScript; however, they have several drawbacks, including:
- They are the most common source of memory leaks.
- Creating a closure is significantly slower then creating an inner function without a closure, and much slower than reusing a static function. For example:
function setupAlertTimeout() {is slower than:
var msg = 'Message to alert';
window.setTimeout(function() { alert(msg); }, 100);
function setupAlertTimeout() {which is slower than:
window.setTimeout(function() {
var msg = 'Message to alert';
}, 100);
function alertMsg() {
var msg = 'Message to alert';
function setupAlertTimeout() {
window.setTimeout(alertMsg, 100);
- They add a level to the scope chain. When the browser resolves properties, each level of the scope chain must be checked. In the following example:
var a = 'a';
function createFunctionWithClosure() {
var b = 'b';
return function () {
var c = 'c';
var f = createFunctionWithClosure();
fis invoked, referencing
ais slower than referencing
b, which is slower than referencing
See IE+JScript Performance Recommendations Part 3: JavaScript Code inefficiencies for information on when to use closures with IE.
Avoid using
with in your code. It has a negative impact on performance, as it modifies the scope chain, making it more expensive to look up variables in other scopes.
Avoiding browser memory leaks
Here are some rules of thumb for avoiding memory leaks:
Use an event system for attaching event handlers
The most common circular reference pattern [ DOM element –> event handler –> closure scope –> DOM ] element is discussed in this MSDN blog post. To avoid this problem, use one of the well-tested event systems for attaching event handlers, such as those in Google doctype, Dojo, or JQuery.
In addition, using inline event handlers can lead to another kind of leak in IE. This is not the common circular reference type leak, but rather a leak of an internal temporary anonymous script object. For details, see the section on "DOM Insertion Order Leak Model" in Understanding and Solving Internet Explorer Leak Patterns and and an example in this JavaScript Kit tutorial.
Avoid expando properties
Expando properties are arbitrary JavaScript properties on DOM elements and are a common source of circular references. You can use expando properties without introducing memory leaks, but it is pretty easy to introduce one by accident. The leak pattern here is [ DOM element –> via expando–> intermediary object –> DOM element ]. The best thing to do is to just avoid using them. If you do use them, only use values with primitive types. If you do use non-primitive values, nullify the expando property when it is no longer needed. See the section on "Circular References" inUnderstanding and Solving Internet Explorer Leak Patterns.

Continuing on a vaguely bathroom theme, in Issue Three (which is out very soon) David McMillan writes in the third and final of his series of articles about the industrial design element of Italian motorcycles - in other words, he reckons Starck's Aprilia 6.5 Moto of the 1990s looks like a bidet on wheels, and he's got a point. I used to work in Soho in the mid-90s, and used to see Moto 6.5-mounted advertising execs wearing their Armani suits and Roof helmets all over the gaff (I was jealous of their money, but not what they looked like..)

Cannes The Can
Just got back from a two day press launch in Cannes for the Piaggio MP3 'Yourban', latest type of one of those odd three-wheeled scooter things. Cannes (South of France in case you hadn't heard of it) might seem glamorous, and probably is when the Mediterranean sun that I was fully anticipating shines down brightly, but when the rain is torrential for two days solid and the temperature on the dash of the bike you're trying to assess indicates 5 degrees above freezing, it can seem more like Blackpool (NW of England) in November.
The poshness of the hotel that our hosts Piaggio put us up in made up for it all of course, and I enjoyed full use especially of the wonderful mosaic bath tub for defrosting my limbs, the soft bathrobes, gigantic bed, huge TV, complimentary this that and the other, great food, catching up with colleagues and friends and a night of blissful sleep (you'll understand that I don't get to go on many press jaunts or even stay in hotels so really enjoy them when I do). There would have been a fabulous sea view too if there wasn't a curtain of rain and mist. I was particularly taken by the wardrobes that lit up when I hung my jacket up. I was less trustful of the 'Japanese' toilet however - the heated seat was an enjoyable new experience for me, but I didn't try out the wash, dry 'n' go automatic ablutions facilities that were cleverly hidden in the toilet bowl (no, I didn't photograph the bog..).
The MP3 is an amazing machine - I'd never tried one before, and was curious to see what a three-wheeled 300c scooter would be like, and it was fun and very different to anyting else I've ever ridden. These press trips can often be very chaotic, and in this case we didn't ride very far (too much photo taking of journos from loads of different countries..) so I'm going to try and get one on loan for a few days over here to get a better impression - it'll be in the mag in a future issue.

So that's what 47-year-old motorcycle engine oil looks like
I know for a fact that my MV 175 was last used in 1964, so that makes the black treacle that came out of its sump on Friday 47 years old. The amount of mud and sand-type substance in the oil filter suggests that this bike was possibly used for ploughing Tuscan fields rather than gracing genteel roads that the MV Agusta name might suggest. I think I'm going to have to check out the main bearings now - at least there was oil in it rather than none at all which can only be a good thing.

Tornado S2
The Benelli 650S, known as the Tornado, is a fine, strong Italian twin, and much fun to ride. There was also a sporty S2 version, with hump seat and plexiglass handlebar fairing. Motociclismo published a photo in May 1973 of an S2 with this striking paintjob, though I've never seen one like it in the flesh - maybe it was a promotional one-off. We'll be including a test of a 650S in a future issue of the mag.

Fu*k Art, Let's Dance!
It's been fascinating to watch the rise of Ducati from cash-strapped company whose bikes no one bought in the late '80s to major motorcycle manufacturer of fantastic sports bikes and world cool brand, but some of the stuff they do to make some lire and expand the brand is just so crap. Now tucked away on a corner of the labyrinth-like Ducati company website there's a 'Desmo' photography collection in their 'Bike Art Print' section (which also contains some equally tacky stuff that looks like it's come out of Athena circa 1982) that features various artistically-photographed girls on various Ducatis. Design with Desmo? Taglioni must be cringing in his grave.
Plonk birds on bikes, snap away, and then sell, sell, sell as art. Perhaps they're replying to customer demand, but is there really a demand for this kind of stuff? It's been done in a 'tasteful' way that is just so old-fashioned and naff at the same time. Or is the old naff now the new cool? F*cked if I know, but they could also have done something so much better I reckon.
Here's a description of the 'collection' in artspeakbabble where something's got lost in the translation I think:
The Desmo photography collection features sixteen unique photographs in which Elizabeth Raab has approached and juxtaposed the abstract qualities of the organic and mechanical forms, highlighting the perfection and emotion in design of iconic Ducati motorcycles.
The shots explore the relationship between the designed and the natural. The lines of the mechanical body reflecting the lines of the organic form it was designed after. The unique color palette of the motorcycle extends from the frame of the bike to the features of the model. The model is in an extension of the bike herself.
Design your interiors with passion. Design with Desmo.

T(h)ANK(s) JOHN!!
After looking around for about two and a half years, I finally have a fuel tank for my Mk2 Le Mans project bike, thanks to a good deal from John W, whose lovely Guzzi cafe' racer was in Issue Two.
It's alloy, and was made by John Williams at The Tank Shop (but without the wait) so it's top quality. I just need to get to it with some paint stripper to get those awful '80s Guzzi logos off it, as well as the paint. I would have ideally preferred to have a Monza type cap rather than a flush filler, but at this point I'm not bothered, I've been looking for something good at a fair price for so long so this tank'll look great on the bike, especially with the finish I have planned for it...

We all know Print is a dying medium. A big publisher told me the other day that readership of her portfolio was declining 10% YoY. She wasn't upset though; total readership across print and digital was up and there was nothing but light at the end of the tunnel. 'Eyeballs are eyeballs' she said.
Publishers now encourage agencies to buy their audience across all channels & devices and many agencies are now set up to do this. The simple logic is that if the Guardian or Times audiences are now spread across the traditional paper, website, apps and social presence then brands should follow suit.
On the surface that makes complete sense. If you are bought into the audience of these brands why not reach them on whatever device they happen to be consuming on?
But does it really make sense?
Our classic notion of a media audience is a homogenous group of people loyal to & likely influenced by a particular brand. It was in an advertisers' interest to target a Guardian or Telegraph reader because on the whole they looked more like the people who bought their products and they could be reached at scale.
These proxy audiences are less important when you add digital to the mix; we can now construct and reach valuable bespoke audiences based on data.
In this mindset the Guardian becomes a source of quality (audience and environment) rather than just offering access to people who are a bit 'left leaning'.
The evolution of print planning and buying isn't just buying across websites, apps and social channels belonging to traditional publishers but planning and buying digital audiences based on data throughout quality environments.
Traditional publishers have a big part to play in the future of audience buying but the definition of audience needs to go deeper than just that of the brand.
If clients are desperate to hold onto traditional media audiences and want to buy one brand across all its platforms in the hope that a difference is made then please; at least have an attribution measure in place to prove the value either way.

Author Yoon Ha Lee was born in January 26, 1979 in Houston, Texas and is a Korean American. He writes fantasy and science fiction stories; he also writes military fiction and fairy tales. Most of what Lee writes are short stories, but has written some poetry as well. As a child, he lived in both South Korea and in the state of Texas. It was in Korea that he went to high school, and learned English at the international school.
For college, Lee went to Cornell University where he majored in mathematics; he would later get his master's in secondary mathematics education at Stanford University. Lee has taught mathematics, worked in web design, and worked as an analyst for an energy market intelligence company. He finds that math is a subject that can be mined for story ideas.
His writing has been published in many different magazines and anthologies since his first sale in the year 1999 (it was a story called "The Hundredth Question"). Over two dozen stories have followed since then. Lee finally published his first collection of some of his stories in the year 2013, when "Conservation of Shadows" came out. This includes Gardner Dozois's yearly best science fiction of the year anthology; Lee has had three stories published in this in the past. Two other of Lee's stories were re-printed in other best stories of the year anthologies.
He was born a female, but later became a man; he knew that at around the age of twelve that he identified more like a man than a woman. In Texas, he wrote his first story while he was in middle school. It featured a trans character that changes their gender in the middle of the story. A teacher saw him writing all the time and wanted to read the story he worked on. So he showed it to the teacher, and in Texas, what he had written about was something that caused the teacher to get his parents involved. This lead to more and more conversing between the teacher and his parents. After that, his mother tried to get him to act more like a proper female. He was told not to stomp when he walked, talk softer, and to wear makeup. Lee would not give in to what his mother wanted him to do. For quite a while, Lee would not write about any trans characters, finding that it was like he was slitting his wrists for the world to see and enjoy.
He lives in the state of Louisiana with his husband and their daughter and a very lazy cat.
"Ninefox Gambit" is Yoon Ha Lee's debut novel and first novel in the "Machineries of Empire" series that came out in the year 2016. Kel Cheris (she has a great mind for mathematics) is disgraced for going to unconventional lengths to win a battle against heretics. Kel Command allows her the ability to redeem herself, but she must retake the Fortress of Scattered Needles (which is a star fortress, recently captured by the heretics). Cheris's career is only one of the things that is at stake here. If the fortress does in fact fall, then the hexarchate might be next to fall. Shuos Jedao (an undead and brilliant tactician) is her best hope as an ally. Jedao never lost a battle, and might be the sole person who can figure a way to besiege the fortress. That is the good news. The bad news is much worse. While alive, Jedao went mad and slaughtered two armies, one of which was his own. The siege goes on, and the longer it does, the more she has to decide how much she can trust the dead general. She may just be his next victim.
Fans of the novel found that the novel captivates the reader and finds that it is not the typical in military fiction that is out there. Some things are not explicit, but the reader is required to figure out some things for themselves. There is a nuance to the world that has been built by the author here. Some found that there was some humorous parts in the book that they did not see coming, but they liked them anyway. Some found that the book is not for everyone, but it is a great read. This novel has a feel to it that you are simply dumped into things without much of an explanation. It is more up to the reader whether or not they will continue reading the story. It has a great character-driven story. Some felt that this was a novel that you may have to read a few times to really and completely understand what is going on.
"Raven Stratagem" is the second novel in the "Machineries of Empire" series that came out in the year 2017. Captain Kel Cheris has been possessed by a general that has been long dead and was a traitor while alive. The pair must both face what may be quite a bad invasion and the rivaling hexarchate. The gifted captain for the hexarchate, who is young and named Kel Cheris, summoned the ghost of General Shuos Jedao, she had no idea that he would break free from his centuries long imprisonment and possess her. The Hafn, an enemy race, is invading the planet; Jedao takes over the fleet that belongs to General Kel Khiruev. The job of the fleet was to stop the invasion from succeeding. Only Lieutenant Colonel Kel Brezan (the subordinate to Khiruev) is able to resist the influence that Jedao, a brilliant but also psychotic ghost. Jedao says that he wants to defend the hexarchate, but is really to be trusted? Will the masters wipe out the whole fleet just to take out the rogue general?
Lee has been nominated for the Locus and Theodore Sturgeon Memorial Award for the stories "Flower, Mercy Needle, Chain" and "Ghostweight". "WSFA Small Press Award" nominated "The Pirate Captain's Daughter". "Ninefox Gambit" was nominated for the best novel award by Nebula in 2016. It has been said about Lee's work that he is an author that is helping to bring science fiction and fantasy into the twenty-first century.

This post is about two things related to fly tying and fly fishing: the barb and the pliers needed to remove a hook from a fish. It usually should be an easy deal right? You barbed all the hooks as you tied the flies or you barbed the flies as you stuck them into your fly boxes. Right?
Admission: Note to self to correct! I have at some point fallen into a habit of not barbing my hooks at the vise. I have become neglectful re this simple task. I rationalize that I will 'simply' de-barb the hook out on the water..no muss, no fuss. I suppose that is alright, but I have taken to using old, needle nose pliers. The groves extend up to the very tip and getting the barb between the grooves and flattening the barb has not been effective. How do I know this?
When I hook a fish, the hook, which should, if de-barbed, easily back out of the fish doesn't. It stays stuck because of the slightest elevated barb my pliers failed to flatten. I also notice this on the off chance the hook catches fabric. Again, the hook should back out through the fabric without snagging. Hmm? it seems to snag. So, I ask 'the same old question' Why don't you barb the hooks at the vise where the process is easiest? Well, I kind of ask it like that…it is more like a sigh, an utterance and some thought of me at the table blowing off the process and pay for it now.
two, no three obvious solutions: (1) barb them all at the table (2) buy barbless hooks (3) buy better pliers.
I cannot, personally, justify the $125.-175. spendy/trendy pliers suitable for freshwater/saltwater applications you see in shops. I imagine I would if I dealt with heavy wire, heavy mono etc. I know there are less expensive needle nose pliers out there so I will find them, if for nothing else removing the occasional fly that is inhaled deeply by the fish charging up from the rear.
So, the best solution for me, if I am adhering to Catch and Release, is to buy barbless hooks or de-barb all the hooks in advance and then proceed to tie….really no big deal. I just need to break the lazy habit I adopted.
Another side note here…a practical on the water issue: if you are teaching someone else and providing them the flies, a problem arises when they hook a fish on a fly you did not earlier barb and did not barb on the water. You assume they know to do that. They don't. They might not be fully outfitted. Now if they get that fish in, they will most probably stress the fish repeatedly attempting to remove the barbed hook. If they hook themselves the hook will not back out nice and easy. If you are teaching someone make sure they have the tools and that their flies are barbless.

Today's Blast to the Past post is a repeat from when we went on vacation last year. I cut the length of the post down a bit.
Remember when I posted about the odd — but not really bad — sunburn I got a couple weeks ago? Despite sunscreen and an umbrella, I got a weird sunburn on my leg. Odd, but no biggie. This vacation — despite plenty of preventative measures — I got the real deal of sunburns.
I made the mistake of not wearing my cover-up for a while and got a nasty burn on my chest. Other parts of me were dark pink/reddish and this part was more of a Merlot color it was so dark. The worst part (aside what legit feels like nerve pain in that area)? I got a nice reminder of how my body is doing gravity-wise when I take off my bra. You ladies know what I'm talking about. I think. Every damn shift or sway, I not only get a nice jolt of pain, but also get reminded that things ain't where they once was. (Channeling my inner country girl on that last bit.)
Non-gravity defying breasts aside, let's talk about what a kid should be excited about when going on vacation. Little Man counts down the days until he gets to get on water slides, body board in the ocean, and dig in the sand. Baby Girl gets excited about something different.
Before we went on vacation, I asked Baby Girl what she wanted to do at the beach.
"See the ice cream man!" she answered. I was rather impressed with her memory of getting ice cream at the beach a year ago, but that wasn't quite what I was going for. True to her word, though, this is what she looked forward to every single day.
"I gonna see the ice cream man today?" she'd ask after waking up in the morning. The same question would be repeated twenty minutes later, after breakfast, in between breakfast and lunch, during lunch, etc. And finally the music from the ice cream truck would play and her dad would take her to pick something out.
And, I kid you not, if you ask her what kind of ice cream she had on vacation, Baby Girl will tell you all five of the different types of cones and popsicles she had. Again, her memory is most impressive.
Now for the last vacation expectation vs. reality. Since Baby Girl is getting older, there are certain things I expect of her — namely not eating poop or crapping in the tub. Anything gross that's related to poop, really. I've been pooped on in the tub a few times, but now she tells us if she has to go. As Little Man would say, "Thank Zeus!" As such, I expect the same from her when swimming. Water's water, so give us a head's up so we can head to the bathroom, right?
She did tell me about the poop — after the fact. Just as I stood her up on the edge of the pool to jump in for a cannonball, she told me that she had pooped.
Sure enough, when I glanced down at her crotch area, I saw watery streams of poop coming out. For the record, she was wearing a Little Swimmer diaper, but it was no match for Baby Girl's bowels. I'll spare you the details from there, but just know that some beach towels were ruined and that I had to avoid eye contact with people.
All in all, it was a great trip. We spent the majority of our time either by the water or in the water, which is what it's all about for me. In the past, it has been a challenge to get Baby Girl to even touch the sand or ocean water without tears, so it was awesome to see her work her way up to digging in it a little and splashing around. As Borat would say, "Great success!"

Mises Wire
Sudha Shenoy, 1943-2008
We are all very saddened to hear that Professor Sudha Shenoy of the University of Newcastle died yesterday (a blog notice here). She was a long-time associate of the work of the Mises Institute, and was scheduled to give a week-long series of lectures on F.A. Hayek this fall in our offices. In the last 10 years, she spent many weeks with us, doing research and writing and lecturing. Her areas of specialization included the history of economics and the history of ideas. She was as passionately in favor of global trade as she was against war and empire.
Here is her media archive, her daily article archive, and her interview in the Austrian Economics Newsletter, which provides fascinating biographical information.
She was a student of both Hayek and, most directly, of Murray Rothbard, a fact which became clear once you began to talk with her at length. She has picked up some of Rothbard's mannerisms in the most charming way: her laugh, the way she moved her hands when she spoke, and her general scholarly demeanor, which combined vast knowledge and a love of detail with a certain lightness and optimism.
We all mourn her passing and will treasure in our memories all the time she spent with us through the years. May she rest in peace.

Britons are being urged to take steps to reduce their risk of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning.
The gas, which is colourless, odourless and tasteless, is released by faulty gas appliances and can be deadly in left undetected.
Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning are initially flu-like and include headache, nausea and dizziness, but without the high temperature that accompanies flu.
These symptoms gradually worsen over time until the person experiences balance, vision and memory loss and may lose consciousness.
The AA is urging people to install a carbon monoxide detector in their home, after research by the AA's Home Emergency Response service revealed that less than 45 per cent of homeowners have an alarm.
Tom Stringer, head of the AA Home Emergency Response service, also urged people to have appliances tested.
He said: 'Carbon monoxide is known as the silent killer as it is so hard to spot.

MakerMex founder Sam Weatherly believes, "If the technology we used to invent the MM1 wasn't universally available, we wouldn't be where we are today… we want to make sure that MM1 files are available to anyone who wants to use them. This open source platform will foster creativity and innovation in our younger generation."
The new RepRap upgrade kit, available on Kickstarter for $399, will allow users to take electronic hardware components from existing 3D printers and upgrade them, expanding the capability of their RepRap printers.
The MM1 is a versatile printer, capable of printing single extrusion, dual extrusion and paste extrusion, it can also be used with a wide variety of materials such as rubber, clay, high strength industrial plastics, Play-doh, and even chocolate, just to name a few. As well as its adaptability, the MM1 also sets itself apart from similar printers because it's user-friendly, allowing consumers to easily change materials based on their specific printing needs.

It is important for standby power systems to function after a catastrophic event, such as
a hurricane, tornado, earthquake, or even a terrorist attack. In particular, critical-needs
facilities—such as hospitals, police and fire stations, emergency shelters, power plants,
airports, government facilities, and communications and operations centers—require
standby power systems that have been specifically engineered to withstand physical
shocks and multi-axis accelerations typical of these disruptive occurrences.

We are just days away from the frenzied holiday celebrations. With a little time and some energy as well as the tips below, you will be able to enjoy this bountiful season; get the control back into your life which in turn translates to less stress.
Start early!
Budget: Make an intention and don't over extend yourself. Avoid large interest payments by paying off your credit card bills in full.
Make a separate to-do list for each project.
Cook/bake ahead and freeze. Prepare a single item every opportunity that you have during the month of December and then freeze it.
Delegate: There is so much that needs to get done. Take the workload off of one person and have everyone pitch in.
Set time aside for yourself: Save one hour per day to remove yourself from the stresses of the holiday and nourish yourself which will ultimately increase your productivity.
Get adequate rest: Proper sleep and exercise are the best stress busters.
Focus on the present: Whether you're baking, writing out cards, wrapping presents, traveling or taking a walk, focus on the present. Being mindful of the moment helps you reduce stress and feel more at peace.
Set manageable expectations: Stress has been described as the difference between our expectations and reality.
Don't forget what the holidays are really about. Families being together, spirituality, gratitude, and fellowship with friends are among a few. These are certainly more important than what we sometimes focus on.

Uncle is out!
I posted about this earlier in the year; now d-day has come. My friend Marcus Gipps, who in his day job is a publisher at Gollancz books, decided to be a publisher in his spare time as well. He's collected together all six books in the Uncle series by J.P. Martin. These are an extraordinary series of children's novels which first appeared in the 60s and 70s but have since fallen out of print. However, they have picked up a strong cult following in the intervening years. Marcus tells me that cheaply produced copies of the last couple of novels have changed hands for hundreds of pounds.
Marcus's "The Complete Uncle" is a beauty of book – cloth binding, all the original Quentin Blake illustrations scanned in afresh, and additional material from Neil Gaiman, Martin Rowson, Will Self, Richard Ingrams, JustinPollard, Garth Nix, Kate Summerscale and (I think you'll see what I'm building up to here) Andy Riley. I'm drawn Uncle, the elephant who is the main character of the books, as I see him.
Most copies have already been sent out to the backers of Marcus's kickstarter, but there's a few left over for general retail. These are being sent out to Waterstones, British Amazon, and some independent bookshops too. These six books are some of the most beautifully imaginative and funny fiction I've read in ages.
here's where to find out more about uncle…
and here's a link to buy a copy (at a very nice price)

Natural gas meters and pressure regulators are designed to withstand extreme outdoor weather conditions, but snow and ice can build-up and damage them.
During the winter, here are a few ways to help protect gas meter equipment and gas appliances to avoid a potentially hazardous situation or disruption of the gas service:
Remove soft snow build-up gently, using only a broom or your hand, rather than a shovel that could damage the meter. Do not try to break up or remove ice or frozen snow from the natural gas meter, pressure regulator, or piping.
If you find the meter or pressure regulator covered in frozen ice or snow, do not attempt to remove the ice or use deicer. Contact SEMCO ENERGY Gas Company at 1-800-624-2019. A technician will take the appropriate steps to prevent an unsafe situation and rectify the problem.

Arsene Wenger is planning on breaking the bank with a £10m bid for Everton full-back Leighton Baines. The experienced Frenchman apparently rates the Everton left-back as the best attack minded defender is the Premier League.
The Gunners are in dire straits in the full-back department with Andros Santos and Kieran Gibbs both likely to be out with injuries for another month or so. Thomas Vermalean has been filling in on the left but Wenger feels that the big Belgian is the club's best centre-half and needs to be playing in his preferred position.
This has made up Wenger's mind that he needs to fix the problem before the window is out and reportedly has decided to move for Everton's joint-top scorer with three-goals this season
The England international would probably have more than his six caps for his country if he hadn't been born in the same era as Ashley Cole as his form for Everton over the past four seasons has been exceptional. He is the first name of the team sheet for manager David Moyes and his attacking runs from the left are a key factory in a lot of their play and Moyes doesn't want to lose that important aspect of their game.
The left-back, who is also a set-piece specialist, has been consistently linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium over the last year but now may be the time Wenger makes a serious play for his man. Everton value Baines at more than just the supposedly paltry figure of £10million but any bid around that mark will be too good for cash strapped Merseyside-club to turn down.

This was my race report on the third running of the Amish Half Marathon. It is held in Berlin, Ohio, the Saturday after Thanksgiving. It has been cold in 2013
and colder in 2014.
It is credible to say I conquered the hills. It's a tough hilly course!
I had high hopes for 2015 with the forecast of 40 degrees and rain. The weather gods were spot on!
Due to standing in the bathroom line, I got outside with five minutes to spare. It was misting rain and cold. I had a Buff under my ball cap, I was very glad to have that on.
Within two miles the ball cap was off and my windbreaker was zipped down. As you can see from the profile, there are sharp little hills to go up and I was quite warm even with the cool temps and the rain!
My secret fueling weapon for the half marathon was my
Junior Mints Peppermint Crunch Candies. I started snacking on them around mile three for a sustained little sugar energy for the race. I was happy to have a consistent pace throughout the race. Even when I hit the flats from mile 7 to 10, I focused on the road and didn't look that far ahead of me.
My only constructive comment about the race was it really wasn't marked. The only reason I mention this is there is a sharp left hand turn around mile 9. We were spread out by this time. There was a car parked nearby, along the road, which I would guess held a course marshal. Runners were almost out of sight around a bend in the road. If you were really at the back of pack, with no runners to follow, this could be a bit of a difficult situation.
This was not a closed course. There were vehicles and Amish buggies trying to go around us in both directions. I could not figure out why some runners in front of me kept trying to run in the middle of the road! The road was not cantered either, at least to my feel on running it.
Despite the cold weather and drizzle, there were many Amish folks out along the road. They don't cheer you on for the most part. Sometimes it's even hard to get a wave from the little kids. I had fun looking at the houses and seeing faces peeking out-I would wave enthusiastically, and the folks inside the houses were happy to wave back!
This was my third running of the Amish half marathon which meant I was prepared for the final hill at the very end! I almost caught the gentleman in front of me, but he kicked in the final end on the track, and I finished in 2.25.29! I had guessed I would run a 2.20, so I was pleased with the finish, as I am currently carrying fifteen more pounds around than last years finish.
There is a good spread of food at the finish of the race. Homemade hot buttered noodles, chips, cookies, apples, sandwiches. The first activity I did after finishing was change my wet clothes. Running in 40 degree rain is fine, but the chill factor settles in very quickly once finishing.
I have a feeling I will be back again next year after Thanksgiving for another half marathon!
Did you run a race this weekend? Did you get homemade hot buttered noodles at the finish?

This article is the third in the series of materials on «Articles of the names of their own.» In this case, we will talk about the use of personal names of articles (articles with personal names). The general rule is the following: first and last names of people, pet names and nicknames are normally used without an article in the English language, even if they are accompanied by a descriptive definition (old, young, poor, dear, honest, etc.). For example: old Jacob, poor Crane, lucky Jessica, little Betty and others.
Nevertheless, we must consider a number of cases the use of articles with personal names. When we resort to the use of the indefinite article a personal name:
- If private noun refers to a family member or a person who has that name.
A certain Safonov wants you on the phone. — Some Safonov asks you to phone.
Alexander Mogilev comes from the Benois, and like a Benois is very talented. — Alexander Mogilev is a descendent of Benoit, and Benoit as any he's very talented.
- When the personal names are countable nouns, they can be used with the indefinite article if:
- name of artist, inventor, industrialist is necessary to refer to his works, labor, premium products:
This small museum has a Picasso. — This small museum has a painting by Picasso.
Mine is a Panasonic, not a Sony. — My (say, a camera) from Panasonic, but not Sony.
The film won an Oscar for Best Foreign Film. — This film won an Oscar in the category «Best Foreign Film».
- personal name defines the typical features of the bearer (not the person):
Poor darling looks like a Cinderella. — The poor girl looks like Cinderella.
- name of artist, inventor, industrialist is necessary to refer to his works, labor, premium products:
In these cases, you must use the definite article with the personal name:
- If there is a personal name, or limiting the definition of the situation:
I met Joanna Rowling. — Do you mean the Joanna Rowling? (who wrote books about Harry Potter). I met JK Rowling. You mean that JK Rowling? (who wrote the Harry Potter books).
- If we use plural nouns to describe the whole family:
The Coltons have a big house near the lake. — In Colton large house near the lake.
- The definite article is used with personal names, denoting the position title, job title:
- the Queen of England (Queen of England)
- the President of Ukraine (Ukrainian President)
- the Secretary of State (Secretary of State)
- the PR manager (Manager of Public Relations)
- Peter the Great (Peter the Great)
- Ivan the Terrible (Ivan the Terrible).
But note that these same words in other combinations, as well as other vocabulary related to this group, is used without the article:
- Queen Elizabeth (Queen Elizabeth)
- President Bush (President Bush)
- Doctor Benton (Dr. Benton)
- Professor Kerling (Professor Curling)
- Captain Switson (Captain Svitson)
- Mister Franklyn (Mr. Franklin).
Articles of personal names are not used in the company:
- Names of family members who take themselves members of this family to express kinship. Such nouns should be written with a capital letter:
Hello, Papa! Hello, Mama! Is Baby still asleep? — Hello father! Hi, Mom! A child is still asleep?
However, if there is due to the relationships outside the family, remembers the definite article.
- Handling:
Well, young man, have you been drinking again? — Well, young man … You're drunk again? Can I speak to you, professor? — Professor, can I talk to you?
This topic is closely related to the other as described in the articles that need to pay attention:
- «Articles of concrete and abstract nouns»
- «Article unique nouns»
- «Article with proper names»
- «Articles of geographical names»
After reading them, we recommend to pass the following test: «Test # 2 on the use of articles in the English language.»

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC has told a Federal High Court sitting in Lafia, Nasarawa State and presided over by Honourable Justice Marcel Awokulehin, that a former Nasarawa state governor, Aliyu Akwe Doma and six others standing trial on a 17 count criminal charge of laundering state funds totaling over N15 billion, have a case to answer and that their applications seeking to quash the case before the court lacked merit and should be struck out.
The other accused persons are Senator John Dangoyi, Abdulmumin Jibrin, Timothy Anthony Anjide, Dauda Egwa, Suleiman Ibrahim, Broworks Ltd and Green Forest Investment Ltd.
At the resumed hearing of the case on Monday May 21st, 2012, Prosecution counsel, Dele Adesina, SAN who stood in for Kemi Pinhiero, SAN told the court that EFCC was opposing eight applications brought in by Doma and six other co-accused persons seeking to quash the case against them. Counsel to all the accused persons excluding the 4thand 8th accused persons, S.I Ameh, SAN, had earlier moved a motion to quash the charges preferred against them. Also, Counsel to Doma and Abdulmumin Jibrin, Charles Edosonwan, SAN, had prayed the court to discharge the accused persons on the grounds that prosecution did not disclose the element of crime in the charge. "This is a criminal proceeding that ought not to proceed," he stated. He said the case was an attempt to criminalize government and that the trial was instituted because they once held government positions.
However, EFCC Counsel argued that the accused persons' counsel should have brought the application to quash the case before their plea was taken. He said that the case of Federal Republic of Nigeria vs. James Onanefe Ibori cited by the defense counsel was different from the case before the court. "My lord, Ibori's case which is one of the authorities they are relying on is quite different from the case before your lordship because in that case, Ibori had not taken any plea unlike here where they had pleaded not guilty to the charges before you."
He said that by taking their plea, they have joined issues with the prosecution and have actually challenged the prosecution to prove the case for which they have been charged. As to whether the charges are vague and ambiguous, Pinhiero urged the court to look at its record which showed that the accused persons having pleaded not guilty to the charges cannot go round to say the charges they listened to is now vague and ambiguous.
"Besides, the proof of evidence are clear that all the accused persons according to charge number 8 have flouted Section 14 (1) (a) of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act, 2004 as their action clearly shows elements of conversion and concealing," Pinhiero stated.
He went on to disclose how the statements of some of the accused persons namely the 2nd and 5th showed their connectivity with 15% of $89.5m contract that was awarded to Incapint Nigeria Limited. The said percentage, totalling over N1.5 billion according to the prosecution, was raised in the name of the 5th accused person through a UBA Manager Cheque and supposed to have been paid to Incapint Nigeria Limited but was paid to a Unity Bank account belonging to the 7th accused person.
