Ryan McHugh: We need to shore up our defence for Galway
Ryan McHugh sat down to watch Cork's 'so near yet so far' season fizzle out last weekend and felt thankful for small mercies.
He tried to put himself and Donegal in that situation and pose the question as to whether they could deal with the six- or seven-day turnaround from the disappointment of losing a provincial final.
More and more he began to appreciate the extra week afforded to them after their own gut-wrenching Ulster final defeat to Monaghan six days earlier.
"The two weeks is a big advantage. Cork felt the wrath of that. It gives you a bit of time for extra training and to get your teeth into the opposition. You can feel it this week," he reconciled.
"From our point of view, it wasn't easy. We planned at the start of the year to win an Ulster final. There is no point lying. It was in the books, hopefully to go on and win it. We haven't done that.
"Obviously there's going to be a grieving stage, the day of it, the day after. But you have to get up on the horse again. You have to look in the mirror and face reality.
"Thankfully, there's another day in Gaelic football. Tuesday's training last week went well, Thursday was good. And we slowly but surely felt ourselves picking up," he reflected.
The extra time has given them space to reflect on where it went wrong for them in a third successive Ulster final against Monaghan.
When McHugh distils it all he has been able to take a lot more positives out of it than he might have felt initially.
"It was a bad day at the office," he said. "There's been a lot of stuff, people saying different things. I tend to take no notice of that.
"I personally felt we played well in the second half. Now the first half wasn't up to par, nowhere near it.
"But we went at it. We had no option but to go at it. On a different day things could have been different. On another day some of those shots would have gone over."
The starting point for any post-mortem is an obvious one. They kicked 11 second-half wides, had only four different scorers, three points from play out of a total of 10. They need to be more clinical and creative in attack.
But McHugh believes defensively they have become a little more vulnerable than they once were as a team.
"We like to think we're a good defensive team. We probably need to shore up that a wee bit more. Back in the days of 2011 and 2012, they (defence) were unbelievable those days. It was hard to get through anywhere."
McHugh, arguably now the game's most versatile player with his ability to move seamlessly between defence and attack, also senses that his friend and Kilcar club-mate Paddy McBrearty won't have dwelt much on that last shot that drifted narrowly wide at the end and certainly won't deter him in what has been his best season in four as a Donegal senior.
"He's been going very well. Growing up with him, playing with him, if we were ever stuck, Paddy was the man we would normally turn to in those situations. It was narrowly wide. You can't fault him for shooting, no more than Colm McFadden or Michael Murphy. They put that much practice into them. If you go down to Towney (Kilcar's home pitch) any night, Paddy's there.
"It's easy looking at a match saying, 'He should have scored'. It's a lot harder in the heat of battle.
"He was down a wee bit, no more than the rest of the team. He wasn't the only man who missed chances. He still kicked six points, was probably one of the better ones. He's obviously going to be down, no more than the rest of us. But he wasn't long putting it behind him."
McHugh, now three seasons on the Donegal senior squad despite being eligible for under 21 this year, is adamant that they can't use their tough campaign so far as a crutch going into Saturday's fourth-round qualifier against Galway.
Kevin Walsh's side have had it just as tough, beginning their campaign in New York at the start of May and meeting Leitrim, Mayo, Derry and Armagh in games since.
Using Donegal's Ulster Championship victories over Armagh and Derry as a form guide, McHugh believes Galway's performances against the same opponents will leave very little between them.
"They put up good performances against both. They were very comprehensive in the Derry game especially. They have two of the biggest midfielders in the game (Thomas Flynn and Fiontán ó Curraoin) and six forwards who on any given day could win a game on their own.
"They've plenty of underage success, so they'll be confident lads. It's a challenge we're relishing. We can't wait to get up to Croke Park and try to produce a performance we know we need.
"But we can't resort to the fact that we've had tough games. So have Galway. They've had it just as tough."
Excuses are not something they're going to draw on, not Karl Lacey's absence this weekend, not Michael Murphy's knee injury in the build-up to the Monaghan game that clearly left him labouring.
"At the start of the year we knew what we were facing. We knew it wasn't going to be easy. We're not going to use the draw as an excuse for losing the Ulster final. We know that we probably just weren't good enough," he accepted.

deadmau5 Launches New Project with NVIDIA & Teases New Song [WATCH]
NVIDIA launched the first episode of their deadmau5 Project today. A leader in visual computing technology, NVIDIA has teamed up with Joel Zimmerman aka deadmau5 to build the "Ultimate mau5 Spec Stream Lab." In laymen terms, these computer geniuses are helping Joel design and build the most epic, custom computer lab to take the deadmau5 live streams to the next level.
"The goal of this project is to create an amazing, five-PC live streaming studio that he can use to create content for his fans." - Kris Rey , Community Manager at NVIDIA
Both NVIDIA and deadmau5 wanted to have a little fun with this project, and push the limits of both processing power and design. The designs of the five PCs will actually be inspired by deadmau5's favorite custom supercars.
"We wanted to take the personalities of his cars and turn them into PCs." - Jules Mann, Creative Director at NVIDIA
Learn more about the project combining deadmau5's love of gaming, streaming, music and art in the first episode of the three-part video series below. Oh... did we mention the video is soundtracked with an unreleased deadmau5 song called "In Videos"...? Check it out and tell us what you think in the comments section!

Oakland, Berkeley, And East Bay News, Events, Restaurants, Music, & Arts
Love it!! I'm so excited!
This was one of the most amazing, authentic experiences around art, youth and community I have witnessed in recent memory. Thousands gathered to view this space and its jawdroppingly fabulous graffiti for free, with music, beer and wine, and an electric atmosphere that should make world cultural hubs like London, Berlin and Venice blush.
A few thousand mostly young folks pullulated in the once abandoned rusty, peeling trilevel concrete and steel building that seemed happy to be a host for all this activity. The people were happy together, drowning in art in 3D, dancing, flirting, posing, snap-shooting and juggling, all of them self-regulated, well-behaved and paying close attention to what they saw.
The floor, the walls, and ceiling and all kinds of nooks and crannies were painted. Many works displayed wit, wildness and undeniable artistry. At several points, the building trembled as the trains, often themselves adorned by the same art work now housed now inside the building, roared by.
The project as a whole shows mindful foresight and planning that is rare indeed. The police and the city govt. clearly had a welcome role in facilitating this art event by keeping a very low profile and just letting folks do their stuff. And to my understanding, this was no LA style Eli Lilly funded, rarified and ultimately impotent extravaganza, but a grassroots, collaborative, kickstarter and Bay area funded. If so, we should thank everyone that helped artwork blossom before our eyes in their natural habitat in this fresh, free and provocative way.

A friend of mine who died last year in her nineties, used to get dragged to Idora Park by her parents. She claims it was a really boring place for kids and an excuse for their parents to schmooze (and I assume booze).
She much preferred the Fox.
Question: is the windmill next door to Steele's on Telegraph a remnant of Idora? Was the miniature golf range that closed about 20 years ago on Telegraph a vestige?
It doesn't get mentioned in this article, but Laura decided to put her career on hold to be the stay-at-home parent for Simon. Through her tireless dedication and hard work, she has been 90% responsible for getting him to this stable, relatively healthy place he his today.

I work for Animal Place, a nonprofit sanctuary specializing in the rescue of abused farmed animals, including chickens. We operate Rescue Ranch that saves the lives of thousands of hens from the egg industry each year. We have two facilities - Vacaville and Grass Valley.
We currently have more than 1,600 hens available for adoption who were saved from starvation by a California egg farmer. Those interested in adoption can find out more here: http://animalplace.org/adoptable_birds.htm….
I think it is important to remember that the backyard chicken movement has a dark side to it.
Rooster Chicks: Male chicks are killed or used as "packing peanuts" by the hatcheries supplying backyard chicks.
Parent Birds: They are housed inside sheds. They never see the light of day. At the young age of 18-mos-old, they are slaughtered.
Transport: Day-old chicks are shipped through the postal service with no legal oversight and often in any climate conditions, resulting in the unnecessary death of sensitive baby animals (who are never raised by their own mothers, either).
Chickens are intelligent, social animals. They can be wonderful backyard companions. Adopt, don't buy.
For those who arrange weekend marathons to watch all of Star Wars, the Godfather, Dexter, or The Wire, five and half hours is nothing. The fifteen-hour production (over four nights) of Wagner's Ring Cycle was an unforgettable event in my life. Some things can be so worth the time, so there's no way I'm missing Gance's Napoleon! Thanks for the alert, Ms. Harwood!

About as classy as midget wrestling. The Dachshund Club of America (DCA) sez:
DCA continues to maintain that racing is bad for the breed by encouraging the breeding of dogs for that purpose rather than as examples of the breed standard recognized by the American Kennel Club. Racing also encourages the misuse of dogs not suited for this activity: Dachshunds are not designed to be a racing breed, but rather to go underground.
Hopalong is great. One of the more reputable animal rescue organizations around.
I'm really going to miss going into space. I don't mean I really went into space, unless you count inner space. I don't. Count it, I mean. It's pretty crowded compared to outer space and you don't get to wear a cool, white suit. Well, you could wear a cool, white suit, but you'd have to hang out a chi-chi resort, which, as I understand, is pretty much unlike outer space.
On second thought, the food at a resort probably beats sucking lunch out of a tube and chasing it down with Tang. And then, there's the bar where you can pay with little plastic beads. Maybe, I just need to go to a resort and forget about this whole space exploration thing.

Now that the international community has agreed to cut carbon emissions, the next step is to begin and it may turn out to be difficult and expensive.
This is the way to start a new week. The ink has dried in a first-of-its-kind universal agreement intended to wean Earth off polluting fossil fuels and slow global warming.
This one may be a new global morning for Mother Nature, but like for many first day dieters, the reality sets in. If you look at the specifics, just like calorie limits and hours needed in the gym, these goal are sure to be daunting. 7.04 billion tons, or 15.5 trillion pounds. That's how much carbon dioxide has to stay inside the ground, instead of being spewed into the atmosphere for those limits to be realized... Good luck with that!

Blood donation for Faryab bomb victims
Blood donation for Faryab bomb victims
JAWZJAN (PAN): Nearly 300 people donated blood for the victims of Friday's suicide attack in the northern province of Faryab, officials said on Monday.
Nearly 41 people were killed and 56 others injured when a suicide bomber detonated his suicide vest outside a mosque during Eid-ul-Adha prayers in Maimana city, Faryab's capital.
Close to 280 people, including 30 doctors and nurses, donated blood for the wounded people in the Faryab Civil Hospital, said Dr Faridoon, acting director of public health.
He said the blood would be given to the injured victims if need arises.
Of the total 280 people who donated blood, 250 donors were Mili Islami Junbash party members, the party's youth affairs head in Jawzjan told Pajhwok Afghan News.
He urged the government to bring the criminals involved in the bombing to justice.
Separately, the Turkish Provincial Reconstruction Team (PRT) distributed meat in the northern province of Shiberghan in conjunction with the Eid celebration, said PRT spokesman Amruddin Qurban.
The PRT officials slaughtered the animals donated by Turkish people and the meat would be distributed to about 3,000 needy families starting today, he said.
Tribal elders and prayer leaders would introduce the underprivileged families to the PRT to be eligible for the aid.
A widow from Maimana city, Zarghona, said she received 3.5 kg meat from the PRT and thanked the Turkish people for their kind assistance.

The use of bacteria has contributed to recent advances in targeted cancer therapy especially for its tumor-specific accumulation and proliferation. In this study, we investigated the molecular events following bacterial therapy using an attenuated Salmonella Typhimurium defective in ppGpp synthesis (ΔppGpp), by analyzing those proteins differentially expressed in tumor tissues from treated and untreated mice. CT26 murine colon cancer cells were implanted in BALB/c mice and allowed to form tumors. The tumor-bearing mice were treated with the attenuated Salmonella Typhimurium. Tumor tissues were analyzed by 2D-PAGE. Fourteen differentially expressed proteins were identified by mass spectrometry. The analysis revealed that cytoskeletal components, including vimentin, drebrin-like protein, and tropomyosin-alpha 3, were decreased while serum proteins related to heme or iron metabolism, including transferrin, hemopexin, and haptoglobin were increased. Subsequent studies revealed that the decrease in cytoskeletal components occurred at the transcriptional level and that the increase in heme and iron metabolism proteins occurred in liver. Most interestingly, the same pattern of increased expression of transferrin, hemopexin, and haptoglobin was observed following radiotherapy at the dosage of 14 Gy. © 2012 The Microbiological Society of Korea and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

We previously reported that Eriobotrya japonica (EJ) improves the cognitive dysfunction caused by amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide injection. Here, we further examined the possible neuroprotective effects and the combined ameliorating effects of EJ and Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge (SM) in various in vitro and in vivo models. We confirmed the combined effects of a mixture of 5% ethanol extract from EJ leaves (EJE) and water extract from SM roots (SMW) on Aβ1-42-induced toxicity in an in vitro model. Treatment with the mixture (1:1) of EJ and SM (Mix) produced significantly better protection of cells from Aβ-induced toxicity and more strongly suppressed caspase-3 activity compared to treatment with EJE or SMW alone. Additionally, EJE, SMW, and Mix attenuated CoCl2-induced hypoxic damage and corticosterone-induced impairment in SH-SY5Y cells. To examine the combined effects of EJE and SMW in in vivo models, behavioral performance in the Morris water maze was tested two days after injection of Aβ1-42. Administration of Mix provided significantly more protection of spatial learning and memory against the impairments induced by Aβ1-42 injection than did administration of EJE or SMW alone. Additionally, the behavioral deficits that accompanied Aβ-induced memory impairment were attenuated to a greater extent by the administration of the mixture. Furthermore, acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity and neuronal apoptosis were significantly more inhibited in rats treated with Aβ and the mixture than in rats treated with Aβ1-42 alone. Thus, the results of this study indicate that the mixture of EJ and SM has combined effects that are neuroprotective against Aβ1-42-induced neuronal toxicity. © 2014 © 2014 Korean Society for Integrative Biology.

Guanosine-5'-diphosphate 3'-diphosphate (ppGpp) serves as alarmone in bacterial stringent responses. In this study, an affinity column was constructed by immobilizing ppGpp to NHS-Sepharose for isolating ppGppbinding proteins. A novel ppGpp-binding protein, YjgA, was isolated and characterized by MALDI-TOF MS (matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight mass spectrometry) coupled with two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. YjgA and truncated forms of YjgA were cloned and over-expressed in BL21 (DE3). The binding affinity of YjgA to ppGpp was determined by equilibrium dialysis. The interaction of YjgA with ppGpp was very specific, considering that the dissociation constant of YjgA with ppGpp was measured as 5.2 ± 2.0 μM, while the affinities to GTP and GDP were about 60 and 30 times weaker than ppGpp. Expression of yjgA gene in Escherichia coli K-12 MG1655 was examined by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). RT-PCR results revealed that yjgA was expressed from early to late stationary phase. The yjgA deletion mutant exhibited decreased cell number at stationary phase compared to parent strain and the overexpression of YjgA increased the cell number. These results suggested that YjgA might stimulate cell division under stationary phase. In most prokaryotic genome, about half of the protein candidates are hypothetical, that are expected to be expressed but there is no experimental report on their functions. The approach utilized in this study may serve as an effective mean to probe the functions of hypothetical proteins.

Antioxidant capacities (ABTS radical scavenging assay and ferric reducing/antioxidant power assay), mushroom tyrosinase inhibitory effect, and α-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH) induced melanogenesis inhibitory effect of 60% methanol extracts and ethylacetate fractions from chestnut inner skin in B16F10 cells were investigated to inspect whitening effect. Above research showed that 60% methanol extracts and ethylacetate fractions from chestnut inner skin resulted in a dose-dependent manner on in vitro antioxidant effects. Especially, the ethylacetate fractions inhibited enzyme activity of mushroom tyrosinases with an IC50 value of 160 μg/mL. Ethylacetate fractions from chestnut inner skin also decreased cellular melanin synthesis in B16F10 melanoma cells. Expression of tyrosinase showed that ethylacetate fractions from chestnut inner skin significantly decreased cellular melanogenesis. Consequently, these results suggest that chestnut inner skin extracts can be considered for a whitening agent of human skin. © 2012 The Korean Society of Food Science and Technology and Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht.

In this study, we investigated the relationship between anti-inflammatory mechanisms and the combined ameliorating effects of rose hip powder (RHP) and green tea seed extract (GTSE) in a monosodium iodoacetate (MIA)-induced osteoarthritis (OA) animal model. We confirmed the individual effects of RHP (500 mg/kg bw) and GTSE (50 mg/kg bw) in the OA model. Treatment with the mixture of RHP and GTSE (Mix) resulted in significantly enhanced stance and propulsion times compared to treatment with RHP or GTSE alone. To examine the combined effects of RHP and GTSE in vivo, pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6), were measured. The administration of Mix significantly reduced the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Additionally, cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expressions were attenuated to a greater extent after the administration of Mix compared to the other treatments. Furthermore, we evaluated the anti-osteoarthritic effects of RHP, GTSE, and Mix on articular cartilage damage using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) in OA in rats. After three weeks of treatment, we observed that the administration of RHP, GTSE, and Mix protected against bone destruction and reduced the number of erosion lacunae, but there was no statistical difference among RHP, GTSE, and Mix. Although additional research is warranted, our results suggest that the biological effects of GTSE were enhanced by RHP supplementation to include anti-inflammatory effects, with the potential ability of offering a benefit to OA patients. © 2014, Korean Society for Integrative Biology.

Winchester residents to weigh-in on possible loanPosted: Updated:
Copyright 2013 WFSB (Meredith Corporation). All rights reserved.
Residents in Winchester will have the chance to learn more about a possible bank loan the town is looking to obtain in order to get out of debt.
A meeting will be held Tuesday night to discuss the proposed $2 million loan the town is trying to get from Bank of America.
The move comes after former Finance Director Henry Centrella was accused of embezzling million from the town.
Now there is growing concern that the town may have to close schools if something isn't done about it soon.
If the loan measure is approved, it will go to a referendum vote Saturday.

|Snowshoed up the "normal" route. Avalanche danger was a three. The summit was clouded in from the time we left the treeline and started up the summit ridge. There were also a few skiers out making the ascent. The route finding was straightforward up through the woods from the parking area in the hairpin turn at the end of the town of Walchensee. A great half-day climb and a fun time. I would go back and it provides a good early season warm up or safe alternative if the avalanche danger is high in other areas.

HD 720P Mini Clothes Hook Hidden Camera Spy DVR with Sound Activation
Product Code: HCMINIHOOK
Availability: 2 - 3 Days
Sometimes the easiest way to hide something is in plain sight. Our newest hidden camera resides within a hanger hook, easily hiding it away while sitting in plain view. With its ability to record crystal clear video as well as its sound activation, and adjustable resolution features, you'll be sure to catch every detail from the moment someone enters the room. It's built in rechargeable battery eliminates the need to constantly replace batteries and it's Micro SD card storage allows you to adjust the capacity to your needs.
Hey there, come on in and let me help you with your coat
There are few combinations of words that will instantly make a person feel more comfortable in your home. People let their guard down and relax once their coat has been taken for them.
Offer them a drink or two and they are likely to really open up, right there in your home.
Their coat will be hanging safely the whole time, right beneath the secret hidden camera that is recording it all. The Clothes Hook Hidden Spy Camera keeps a watchful eye over any area it is placed in.
Like an all-seeing butler that never asks for a tip
Having a butler would be a very expensive way to accomplish almost the same thing, only at half-efficiency.
While a butler is sure to do an outstanding job at taking your guests' coats, their presence alone could make your guests tense. That means anything you might want to capture might never happen.
Instead, invite your guests in, hang their coat on the hook and let them relax. Thanks to the motion detector the camera will save 5 minute clips whenever there is motion in front of it. You can review these action-only clips later to see if you've picked up any gold.
By expanding the MicroSD card, you can capture even more footage with no maintenance. Positioned correctly on the back of a door, you can capture the entire room.
Never leave your living room unattended again; give your third eye a clear shot.

"Midwife has a calm and easy manner"
About: Cumbernauld Community Maternity Cumbernauld Community Maternity Lanarkshire
Posted by Hoy5 (as ),
I had regular meetings with my midwife who would ask how I had been keeping and would check my urine, blood pressure, size and babies heartbeat. She was happy to listen and answer any questions and was available on the phone between visits any time I had a question. She even contacted a consultant at the hospital when I had a question that she was unable to answer. I particularly liked her calm and easy manner and the fact that she never put any pressure on me about breast feeding etc.
Response from Maureen McSherry, Consultant Midwife, Maternity Services, NHS Lanarkshire 2 years ago
Dear hoy5
Thank you for your comments.
It is always reassuring to hear that you have a midwife who listens, gives advice and seeks answers appropriately. We aim to ensure that all women will receive this personalised approach and will be happy to inform the community team of your positive experience.

LGBT Activists from post-Soviet States Gain Skills in Advocacy
On 20-24 May ILGA-Europe has organized a training on documenting human rights violations, planning advocacy campaigns and lobbying European institutions for a group of LGBT activists from Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Kyrgyzstan. The training took place on the shore of a picturesque Issyk-Kuli lake in Kyrgyzstan, and facilitated by experienced trainers from Russia, Ireland and ILGA-Europe's staff team itself. The host organization was NGO "Labrys" (Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan).
The participants gained skills in documenting human rights violations through personal interviews and by using specialized computer programs, in lobbying the European Union, Council of Europe, United Nations and the OSCE, in planning and implementing advocacy campaigns. The training lasted for a total of 5 days, the days filled with work, and evenings – with long dinners, karaoke nights and deep conversations around the fire on the beach.
The training is part of a large-scale 5-year program on development of the LGBT movement in the post-Soviet states "Prevention and Empowerment in the CIS [the Commonwealth of the Independent States]" (PRECIS), implemented by COC Netherlands with support of the Dutch Government and in cooperation with ILGA-Europe.

Aloha Pancakes
- 1 c. all purpose flour
- 1 c. whole wheat flour
- 2 tsp. sugar
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. pure almond extract
- 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- 2 Tbsp. ground flaxseed
- 6 Tbsp. water
- 2 c. original almond milk
- 2 Tbsp. coconut oil, melted
- 1 large banana, cut into small pieces
- 3/4 c. chopped pecans
- 3/4 c. shredded or flaked coconut
- In a small bowl, mix the 2 tablespoons flaxseed with the 6 tablespoons water. Stir to combine and then set aside.
- In a large bowl combine the dry ingredients and stir to mix. Gently mix in the banana, pecans and coconut. Make a well in the center.
- In a medium bowl stir the liquid ingredients together; pour into the center of the well in the dry ingredients. Gently stir just to combine. There will be some lumps, but do not over-stir, as this will make the pancakes tough.
- Heat a flat skillet over medium-high heat. Spray with a non-stick cooking spray and drop ¼ c of batter in. Gently spread out just a little, shaping into a round shape. Continue until skillet is full.
- Cook until golden brown on both sides. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.

Statue of Liberty
A visit to the iconic Statue of Liberty is an absolute must while you're in New York. Catch one of the regular ferries from Battery Park and take the short ten minute boat ride across the Hudson to reach Liberty Island. Here you'll find out more about this world famous monument that was given to the United States by France in the late 19th century.
Once you've crossed the water, entry to the island's free. Plan ahead if you want to go inside the 152 foot monument, as visits to the Pedestal and Crown can book up months in advance. You can reserve tickets online. If you don't have a ticket though, don't worry, as the free ranger-led tours around the promenade are fun and informative too.
To find out more about the statue's history, go to the museum in the Pedestal where you'll see the original flame, replicas of Lady Liberty's face, and alternative designs for the statue. If you have entry to the Crown, prepare for the climb up the impressive 354 steps. Once you get to the top, the effort's well worth it as you look out across the water and the city beyond.
Before leaving the island, take some time to relax with a coffee in the cafe or have a picnic with the kids on the lawn. Then hop back on the ferry which will take you to Ellis Island, famous as a gateway for immigrants, before heading back to Manhattan.

The immediate past President, Goodluck Jonathan, has said all through his tenure as President, no Nigerian became a political prisoner or a prisoner of conscience due to their criticisms of his administration.
The former President made the assertion while delivering a keynote speech at the annual Merit Awards Dinner of the Nigerian Lawyers Association of the United States of America, USA.
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
Jonathan's assertion is coming at the heel of calls by a cross section of Nigerians that leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu and other pro – Biafra agitators currently in detention across the country be released.
He urged leaders to ensure unity and harmony in Nigeria by guarding their language and conduct.
According to Jonathan, diversity could remain a "strength only when all interest groups in the society feel safe and secured, in their day to day activities."
"That is why no matter what any critic said about me, I ensured that there was both freedom of speech and freedom after the speech.
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
"Under my watch not a single Nigerian was sent to prison because of anything he or she wrote or said about me or about the Administration that I headed. Nigeria had no political prisoners under my Administration and we certainly did not have any prisoners of conscience because we ourselves ensured that we acted according to our conscience in all we did.
"You in the diaspora can attest to the fact that Nigeria had no political exile. Not only did I take a stance to allow people express their opinions without let or fear, we also enacted the Freedom of Information Act and by that, we tore the veil of secrecy covering governance.
"Nigerians deserve to know how their government functions. I am proud to say that we gave them knowledge, and that is a genie you cannot put back to the lamp. We gave institutions unlimited freedom and ensured that the Nigerian Bar Association and other professional unions, fraternities and guilds were completely devoid of any governmental influence.

Northwestern Mutual or Ed Jones
33 RepliesJump to last post
I am from the mortgage industry & my bank just closed up shop. I have been looking into both Northwestern Mutual & Ed Jones but can not decide which way to go. Ed Jones is offering to start me in the goodnight program w/ a 5mill $ book to start with. Ed Jones pays a small salary to start as well as all start up cost. NWM I have to start from scratch calling on friends & family. Whom I must get referrals from. NWM I pay for all expenses but commissions are higher. I am not sure if the commissions after expenses & business taxes are high enough to take the risk @ NWM. Greatly appreciate any feedback
I am married w/ a 16 LB dog. My wife is a admin for Well Fargo & to keep the lights on we need about an additional $1000 per/month. But, working @ NMFN I will need much more to get my business off the ground for Gas, Meals, support staff, ect... Working hard is not a prob I was raised working for my father in his classic butcher shop. Est. 1902 - Present Anyone need a good side of beef?
Coldcall, are you just looking at those companies or have you looked at a lot of places and those are your final two places?
I was reading Fortune Mag & found NMFN as America's most admired co for the past 20+ yrs. Fortune also had Ed Jones as the top 4 co to work for across all industries & the best company to sell for. After I read this I started to look deeper into both of these comapnies.
Stay away from any insurance organization at least in the beginning. You need to learn alot in a relative short period to be effective, and probably no better place than Jones. Recognize that you will probably leave in 3-7 years (it took me almost 10), but at least you will have a better foundation on how to run a business before you get into it. One caveat... build a recurring revenue based model. Edward Jones will tell you that A shares are the way to go, and you will eat from time to time on A shares, but long term it will be detrimental to the objective of recurring revenue.
Building a 12b-1 recurring model has pitfalls. Try to include the separate account management program they have. Use C shares in funds and annuities. You get paid less upfront but again its the long term revenue stream that will sustain you down the road. And it makes you much more marketable, either to a wirehouse or independent (as I am with LPL). EDJ claim at some point they will have a wrap/fee base program. The management says soon (I have been gone 18 months and they were singing the same tune then). Spaceman Spiff is a good resource on this forum for current EDJ happenings.
No matter who you choose, you better have at least 2 years of living expenses set aside. It won't be easy, but if you make it, you will be rewarded for taking the risk.
Oh an by the way prior to Jones I started in this industry with an insurance agency in my town. I was independent for 5 years and then went to Jones for almost 10 so I have some experience with both options.
Coldcall, there's lots of positive things about both companies. However, you are making a mistake if you don't also look at some of the top wirehouses. Additionally, do not take a job with Northwestern Mutual without looking into the local MassMutual, Guardian, and New York Life offices.
You'll get lots of Jones bashers here. I don't know enough about them to talk intelligently. However, from my reading, they seem like a pretty good place to start a career, but for a lot of people, not the best fit to remain in this career.
Northwestern Mutual--a lot of insurance and a fair amount of securities--mostly mutual funds. Edward Jones--a lot of securities and a some insurance... Just getting started Jones is a good place to go...However, I see a lot of turnover on new people at both places!
Iceco1d hit the major decision questions on the head.
You said you only need about $1,000 more a month--that will get you nowhere! You need to put the maximum in a 401k for you and your wife, you have to fund your future children, and you need to enjoy life--it is real short! If you aren't ready and dedicated to make six figures and more--please don't enter this business. I do wish you and your family the best of luck at whatever you decide to do!
Stay away from any insurance organization at least in the beginning.
How about an explanation?
Roadhard, I am in it to be at the top whichever way I go. I'm a college athlete & only go at things full force. I was just replying to iceco1d's comments about my situation. My situation income to debt is that I need an additional $ 1K on top of my wife's salary to keep my lights on. Which, in my opinion is not a problem. I keep hearing form others that I will not have an income for 2-4 months to start my business. I have enough in saving to get us through that start up period. I am excited about this & want to make the correct decision. Thanks for everyones info keep it coming PLEASE!
I have worked at both. At Jones you will be an asset gatherer initially, and not much else. There is nothing wrong with that. At NML you will be told to handle yourself as a planner and try to sell life insurance. As Anonymous has pointed out before, commissions are much higher on insurance products at NML. You can survive there with 1-2 good cases per month initially. Depending on your office environment, it will be tougher to do investments at NML, not impossible, but harder No matter how hard they try not to be portrayed this way, they are an insurance company, that is their bottom line. NML will make you do a full blown interview with a client and try to sell them a "plan," based around insurance of course, but also including disability and long term care. Jones will be more of a selling situation. You will be doing lots of selling product on the phone at Jones-little to none of this at NML. If you want your business model to be 90% investments, Jones is where to go (between those 2) and if you want to be more broad based, NML 9between those 2). Both places, from the top down, think their sheet don't stink.
The advice you have been getting about Jones was correct in the past. However, there are some new things that are going on at Jones and coming up very soon that will make that advice obsolete. Especially the bit about recurring revenue. By the time you apply, get hired, study, and get trained, it will be a completely different story about your experience starting with Jones than a guy who started with Jones 10, heck, 2 years ago.
A Goodknight plan is a great benefit. Instead of having to buy everything, you're going to be sharing expenses with a Vet. Not to mention his experiences and knowledge. To me that's the deciding difference. To work with a Veteran FA for a year or more before really striking out on your own can be invaluable. A $5 million book won't feed your family long term, but it's better than starting from scratch.
The compensation package is going to put well more than $1000 in your pocket each month at Jones. If you haven't seen it, ask the guy who is offering to GKN with you to talk about it. It's really nice.
Which ever way you choose, work hard and you'll make the money you need to make.
Some facts. $ 5 million is nothing. Those are dead A shares paying 25 basis points or $12,500 in revenue of which you will get maybe a 40% payout.
At any company you will call friends and family.
I left Jones <12 months ago. Things are changing, but how fast one never knows. They are trying to add fee based, so higher recurring revenue is possible. I also think they are implementing software (which they thought was cutting edge and new to the industry) that the insurance companies have had for years which allows you to actually do a financial plan for clients.
Both of those firms are good at what they do, but they are greatly different cultures and their product FOCUS is vastly different.
You are correct about the $5 mil GKN. If I've got $40 mil now and I'm looking to score some points with the LP powers that be, I'm going to do a GKN2 for $5 mil. It's not enough to really do much with, but it's better than new/new. Those clients certainly won't be green ones. I think the good part about a GKN like that is the time with the Vet FA.
I am from the mortgage industry & my bank just closed up shop. I have been looking into both Northwestern Mutual & Ed Jones but can not decide which way to go.
okay why only these two outfits?
nothing else in your neck of the woods?
what about a competing bank, do they have a securities division?
if choice is ONLY between Northwestern & EJ then go with EJ.
Spaceman, what is going to change @ EJ? Can I find this info on the web?
Not on the web, unless you can find the info here. The big change that is supposed to be coming in the next few months is a fee based platform for the masses. We have a program now for people with more than $500K to invest, but nothing for the guy with a $100K rollover. The new platform is supposed to be launched early summer. That's about all we know about it right now.
I tell you that only because one of the comments made was in reference to using C shares instead of A shares. The purpose of that comment was to enable you to start creating a fee based business instead of a transactional business, which would include A shares. So, by the time you get through with studying and training, the new platform should be up and running. If you utilize it, you could build your practice much differently that those of us who started before you.
f choice is ONLY between Northwestern & EJ then go with EJ.
Again, how about an explanation. Why?

I read from the news that a magnitude of 7.2 earthquake shook Mexico on Easter Sunday. Some were reported injured and a few perished. I did not follow the news this time as I am really spooked by all these natural calamities happening one after the other.
I am offering my prayers to the people of Mexico. I hope there will be no more ground shaking events to happen anywhere.

The Consequences of Urban Containment
Book Review: 'The End of the Suburbs,' by Leigh Gallagher
Suburbia has been a favorite whipping boy of urbane intellectuals, who have foretold its decline for decades. Leigh Gallagher's "The End of the Suburbs" is the latest addition to this tired but tireless genre. The book lacks the sparkling prose and original insights one could find in the works of, say, Jane Jacobs or Lewis Mumford. Indeed, Ms. Gallagher's book is little more than a distillation of the conventional wisdom that prevails at Sunday brunch in Manhattan.
The author restages many of the old anti-suburban claims, and her introduction's section headings easily give away the gist of the argument: "Millennials hate the burbs"; "Our households are shrinking"; "We are eco-obsessed"; "The suburbs are poorly designed to begin with"; and so on. read more »
Suburb Hating is Anti-Child
Sure, suburbs have big problems. Their designs force their inhabitants to drive in cars, instead of walking and bicycling. This diminishes face-to-face interactions, physical health, and the quality of the environment. Aesthetically, many of them, particularly those dreaded "planned communities," are quite boring. People who live there tend not to have much contact with people who aren't like them, so suburbs reinforce racial, religious, and class segregation. read more »
Here's a Way to Flood the US Housing Market with One Trillion Dollars
Members of the millennial generation – born between 1982 and 2003 – carry a student debt burden of close to one trillion dollars. This is the group that includes many just entering the stage in life when people tend to settle down and start families. Even though Millennials are marrying later than previous generations, they would still be the prime market for sales of single family starter homes, if only they could afford them. read more »
California Homes Require Real Reach
In the 1950s and 1960s, Southern California was ground zero for the "American Dream" of owning a house. From tony Newport Beach and Bel-Air to the more middle-class suburbs of the San Fernando Valley and Garden Grove to working-class Lakewood, our region created a vast geography of opportunity for prospective homeowners. read more »
Land Planners Dig In Again
In the housing industry, land planners are the first to be dropped during a downturn… and the first needed in an upturn. A good way to monitor the optimism of the housing development market is to monitor the volume of land planning.
The land plan is the beginning of a long and arduous process. Unlike architecture, which is relatively quick from design to construction, land planning takes patience. It can easily consume a year or two (or more) for a US neighborhood to go from the initial design stages to the beginning of construction. read more »
America's Emerging Housing Crisis
The current housing recovery may be like manna to homeowners, but it may do little to ease a growing shortage of affordable residences, and could even make it worse. After a recession-generated drought, household formation is on the rise, notes a recent study by the Harvard Joint Center on Housing Studies, and in many markets there isn't an adequate supply of housing for the working and middle classes. read more »
The Persistence of Failed History: "White Infill" as the New "White Flight"?
"There is a secret at the core of our nation. And those who dare expose it must be condemned, must be shamed, must be driven from polite society. But the truth stalks us like bad credit." – Writer Ta-Nehisi Coates
With the recent Supreme Courts strike down of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, which was created to protect minority representation, the headline in the Huffington Post read "Back to 1964?" While some contend the title hyperbolic, the HuffPost lead, if not the strike down itself, reflects the reality of a country still tethered to its discriminatory past. read more »
A Million New Housing Units: The Limits of Good Intentions
In May 2013, the district of Husby in suburban Stockholm, Sweden was shaken by "angry young men" engaging in destructive behavior for about 72 hours,1 including the burning of automobiles and other properties and attacks on police officers (over 30 officers were injured). The violence spread to the nearby districts of Rinkeby and Tensta as well as to other parts of Sweden. read more »
Suburbia's Sacred Spaces
From the earliest times, cities have revolved around three basic concepts – security, the marketplace and what I call "the sacred space." In contemporary America, everyone wants safe streets and a thriving economy, but what about the ethereal side, the places that makes us take note of a place and feel, in some way, a connection with its history? read more »

On behalf of the nineteen fraternity chapters that comprise the Interfraternity Council at the University of Southern California, I would like to welcome you to the IFC website.
As a deeply rooted tradition in USC's history, the USC Greek Community has been a strong, tight-knit community of scholars, athletes, entrepreneurs, and leaders from all over the world. USC Greek Life will celebrate its 130th birthday in Spring 2017. The community has grown to 2,500 young men, recently adding several chapters to the council.
The USC Greek System fosters opportunities for its members that align with the five pillars of the university; "to be faithful, scholarly, skillful, courageous, and ambitious." Gentlemen of USC Greek Life develop strong, life-long friendships and grow scholastically through mentorship from brothers that share similar interests. Greek life at USC cultivates strong organizational and leadership skills as well as courageous and ambitious mindsets, encouraging our members to tackle real world problems as they enter the work force.
Much of my own personal maturity and achievement can be tied to my decision to join a fraternity at USC. From my experience as President of my chapter to the scholastic and professional opportunities available to me, the friendships, mentorships, and leadership skills I have developed since joining USC Greek life are second to none.
The USC Interfraternity Council is committed to fostering a welcoming, safe, and engaging community. In doing so, we dedicate ourselves to the following goals for 2017:
– Continuing to prevent and raise awareness for sexual assault, mental health, as well as drug and alcohol abuse.
– Increase the number of members through recruitment.
– Working with DPS and LAPD to continue forming guidelines that are both safe and reasonable.
– Collectively donate over $125,000 to charitable organizations.
– Maintain a higher average GPA than the all-undergraduate university average.
– Dedicate our chapters to over 10,000 hours of community service in the Greater Los Angeles Area.
Whether a parent, prospective fraternity member, or current affiliate, I hope our website will answer any and all questions you may have. If not, please do not hesitate to contact me, the IFC Parents Council (firstname.lastname@example.com), or other Executive Board members with questions.
Fight On!
