opinionBy Victor C. Ariole
Lagos — Global ranking of universities and the measurement tools used should not be the right way of assessing the progress of education in Nigeria or even in Africa at large. There are certain theories in marketing that apply to the current global educational system that need to be appreciated. Educational process is like a marketing process, it has to be conceptualized, produced, packaged, priced, publicized, made available to the end user as the marketer returns to the drawing board carrying out further research activities on future rebranding, repositioning, value-re-engineering, so much so an endless activity geared towards keeping the product alive.
Hence for Nigeria or Africa, it was wrong joining or being used as subjects of the ranking business. For now, we are just aping in our education endeavours.
Again, in marketing, there could be a market leader and many challengers or followers who aim at benchmarking the leader or the challengers and, others who must strive, first, at carving a niche for themselves before even identifying themselves as followers. It is, indeed, in the category of niche carvers that African or Nigerian universities must search for space. It will be suicidal for them to aim at competing with those who run education like a "do-or-die" affair in their place, the way politicians plan for elections in Nigeria. How one would have wished that education was seen that way in Africa.
Joining in the global ranking of educational institutions will presuppose that there is an extent global policy on education or global vision for education which all educational institutions pursue. Or, like one of the measures used, the performances of the products of an institution in the global market, which is faulty. Now think of those who went to Marxist institutions in USSR and how they are perceived in the global market of employment dominated by employers who believe in the rule of "market forces".
One is not condoning mediocrity nor laxity here, however, in education, assessment of a student can only be carried out after exposing him or her to a given content of knowledge and providing what it takes to imbibe such knowledge- conducive learning atmosphere.
Assessing a Nigerian or African university, where the government in power prefers to hire products of American or European universities so as to curry the favour of those that matter in world politics and world financial institutions and where the elite prefer to go abroad for as little an ailment as catarrh, is baseless. Such acts by the government alone prove that there is no confidence in our institutions; hence why assess them in the first place?
Former Minister of Education, Dr. (Mrs) Oby Ezekwesili said that she had her first degree at the University of Nigeria and a second degree at the University of Lagos and that she only got recognition after her subsequent and successful academic pursuit in Harvard. Harvard remained in touch with her wherever she was and even offered her a job in Boston and from where she was fished out by the former Nigerian president.
In effect, her Nigerian university lacked in research sustenance as they were not able to monitor their product, reposition it, rebrand it and get it to be alive all the time.
Education, for both the state, education and the product, is an endless activity. It starts from the cradle and has no end as long as the state lives on.
However, every state must define her position in the global educational scale from where its institutions could be adequately assessed, and from where a right policy will be formulated.
Let's assume that the global vision for education is formulated by USA and that other states provide raw materials, qualitative ones, like the Oby Ezekwesilis to Harvard University and so, their policies must be to have an educational process that must dovetail into the global vision provided by the USA. That, definitely, will make such educational process a feeder process and never the main; just as Nigerian Oil is a feeder raw material to space technology in USA while some Nigerians die of pipeline explosions trying to get some litres to sell and feed on, out of poverty. That is, indeed, a neo-colonial policy of education.
However, if Nigeria or Africa wants to carve a niche for themselves in education, it ought to have a vision of education based on self-realization or as Jeffrey O. Sachs puts it, visioning education for enthroning a government that must always see defence, justice, infrastructure and education as areas in which collective action is required to complement or substitute for private-market forces. Hence education for social reconstruction. So, while government swallows hook, line and sinker free economy or market economy, it must still provide education.
Thus to carve a niche for themselves, African Universities must come together and search deeply on how to sustain themselves and the African States by defining and redefining the educational process in Africa. With such, Nigeria could claim leadership, in line with the NEEDS 2020 vision.
If need be, let the Millennium Development Goals define, for now, education polices in Africa. In Sachs (2005) they are stated as follows:
- To help foster political systems that promote human well-being, based on the consent of the governed. (Civic education for all)
- To help foster economic systems that spread the benefits of science, technology and the division of labour to all parts of the world. (Specialised education for global labour market).
- To help foster international cooperation in order to secure a perpetual peace. (Language, cultural and international studies)
- To help promote science and technology, grounded in human rationality, to fuel the continued prospects for improving the human condition. (Nature, psychology, social, medical and environmental studies)
Just like the marketing process where market volume and share are in contention for action, the most juicy products are not allowed to be fabricated in Africa or in the third world, it must always be imported, though fabricated by raw materials from the third world. It is 'embarking on' a wild goose chase aiming at education process that can challenge the USA type or even be its follower when such process is still at a gropping stage. Let's start by carving an educational niche for ourselves and see if a benchmarkable institution can emerge in Africa.

My favourite Ocarina of Time music
By GrantHeaslip 11 Comments
Perhaps my favourite thing about the Zelda games are their music, and Ocarina of Time (in this one's humble opinion) has the best. Having just finished replaying it on the 3DS, I picked out some of my favourites. These are in no particular older, and some good tracks (there really aren't any bad ones) were culled for the sake of brevity (and in in the case of Lon Lon Ranch, because I really don't like the female vocal instrument).
For those who haven't played Ocarina in a while, this might be a nice trip down memory lane. For those who haven't played it ever, you might want to get on that.
Title Theme
This is the first thing you hear when you start the game, and it does a great job of setting the mood. It's touching, but also of bittersweet and lonely, which I think is fitting because Ocarina of Time does have an undertone of isolation and loss, especially in the latter half. When you think about the track in the context of any other Zelda game, it just doesn't feel right -- it's so clearly a creature of this one. I didn't embed the title screen itself since it's hard to find a good capture of it, but it's so inseparable from the track that it's worth watching.
Kokiri Forest
I don't think this is particularly noteworthy musically, but it's great in the context of the carefree, naive world of Kokiri Forest. It doesn't fit in at all with the rest of the soundtrack, just like Kokiri Forest doesn't fit in with the rest of the world. It's especially effective when you come back later in the game, because it reminds you that while Link has changed, the forest hasn't.
Boss Battle
While the boss fights in Ocarina of Time really aren't that hard, the music gives them a manic, out-of-control feel. The drop straight into the relentless piano rhythm is a great "okay, this shit is on" moment.
Hyrule Field
Big surprise, right? This is the defining track in the game, and has to be the most recognizable. I vividly remember entering Hyrule Field for the first time, and this track hitting as the (at the time, massive) world opened up. I can't quite put my finger on why I like it so much, because musically I'm not sure it stands up to the overworld themes in other games, but like Kokiri Forest, it just fits so well. There's a surprising amount of variation, and most of my favourite parts of the track are minutes in.
Kakariko Village
This is just a fantastic piece. Like a lot of my favourite Ocarina of Time tracks, it's extremely evocative, bittersweet, and fits in perfectly. Even later in the game Kakariko comes off as a slow, vaguely-down-on-its-luck refuge, and this track does a lot of the legwork selling that. I don't know what the actual process was at Nintendo, but I imagine Koji Kondo must have written this with at least concept art and the town's backstory in mind. The orchestral adult Link version is also worth a listen.
The Lost Woods
Again, not really my favourite piece musically, but it's so evocative. More-so than any other track in the game, this one defines the area -- imagine how different the Lost Woods would feel if it were accompanied by slow, mysterious music. The layers of instruments are also faded in and out in gameplay to great effect.
Windmill Theme
Another obvious one, but man is this great. This one has hints of the unique brand of off-putting, somethings-really-wrong-here creepiness that Majora's Mask ran with.
Gerudo Valley
Like the Kokiri Forest theme, this one really sells that Gerudo Valley is a very different place than the rest of Hyrule. It's also just a really catchy, foot-tapping piece. The game doesn't do much in the way of telling you what the Gerudo are like, so this and their visual design is really all the imagination has to work with.
Forest Temple
Environmentally, the Forest Temple is my favourite dungeon in the game, and this track is a big part of that. Haunting, ethereal, yet rooted in place. Few N64 tracks make such deft use of the sound chip. Just perfect.
Fire Temple (original version)
So good. I've never really loved the chants (which were removed later on) -- which aren't done any favours by the N64 sound chip and seem to be mixed way too loud -- but it's the original and in my mind canonical version. Like the Forest Temple's music, the voices give the temple a strong ethereal quality. The drum beat in the background really makes the song.

Skin Tag Removal
Get Rid of Skin Tags Instantly!
Most people that have visible skin tags they wish would just disappear! In addition to being unsightly, skin tags can get stuck in jewelery and become irritated by clothing.
The good news is that Body Beautiful can painlessly and instantly vaporize skin tags using the latest radio frequency. Even better, Body Beautiful Spa can remove skin tags at a fraction of the cost a dermatologist charges.
About Skin Tags
Skin tags are very common soft skin growths that often form somewhere on the eyelids, armpits, neck, under breasts, and in groin folds. The are usually flesh-colored, however they can also be darkly pigmented.
Most people develop skin tags sometime in their life. Those in middle-age and older are particularly prone to them. While some skin tags stay very small, others can grow as larger, sometimes as large as a grape. Some people only get one or two skin tags. Other people can develop over 100!
Other than being unsightly and annoying, skin tags are benign and harmless. Fortunately removing skin tags does not cause more to grow. Typically once they are removed, they do not grow back.
About Skin Tag Removal
The great news is that today skin tags can be easily, and usually painlessly removed. Body Beautiful uses the Skin Classic, the latest technology in radio frequency, to remove skin tags and other benign growths. Skin tags are usually completely removed in just one treatment.
Where older methods such, as a scalpel excision or liquid nitrogen (also called cryosurgery or freezing) can be painful and is prone to scarring, the Skin Classic is typically painless and rarely scars. If your skin tags are in a sensitive area, your licensed aesthetician may apply a topical numbing cream to ensure your treatment is painless.
Skin Tag Removal Options
Many dermatologists who perform skin tag removal charge $100 or more per skin tag! At Body Beautiful Spa, you have your choice of:
- One Skin Tag Removed $69
- 15 Minutes of Skin Tag Removal $99
- 30 Minutes of Skin Tag Removal $149
- 60 Minutes of Skin Tag Removal $249
If you are not sure whether you have a skin tag, fibroma, or mole, Body Beautiful can look at the growth under a small ultraviolet light. The light will illuminate any blood supply that would indicate the growth needs to be removed by a dermatologist.
Just a note, while Body Beautiful is happy to provide you with a receipt for skin tag removal, cosmetic skin tag removal is generally not covered by insurance.
Body Beautiful Spa Skin Tag Removal on TV
In this Sonoran Living segment, Body Beautiful Spa demonstrates removing a skin tag, removing a sebaceous hyperplasia on the forehead, and removing a spider vein near the nose. A topical anesthetic was applied so Frank, our volunteer, wouldn't feel any pain. Most skin tags are virtually painless to remove and do not require numbing cream. When the skin tags to be removed are in a particularly sensitive area, the licensed aestheticians at Body Beautiful Spa will apply a topical anesthetic to ensure your comfort.
About Body Beautiful Spa

Exiled opposition leaders have formed a coalition, and the grouping is now seeking international recognition as a government-in-waiting.
Western powers demanding Syrian leader Mr Assad step down and end the 19-month rebellion have been frustrated by squabbling among his opponents.
"It is a very important milestone," Mr Hague said at a meeting of ministers at the Arab League in Cairo yesterday.
"We want the Syrian opposition to be inclusive ... and to have support inside Syria, and if they have this we will then recognise them as the legitimate representative of the Syrian people."
He said that did not imply Britain would be ready to send weapons to the opposition. The European Union currently has in place an arms embargo on Syria.
But he added: "We are not excluding any option ... the Syrian crisis is getting worse all the time."
Some 2.5 million people have been internally displaced by the country's civil war, the United Nations refugee agency said.
"The winter cold and rain will heap further misery on soaring numbers of Syrian refugees," Mr Hague added.

A Chicago police officer who failed to follow procedure during DUI arrests may have jeopardized two years worth of DUI cases.
Prosecutors in Cook County are currently reviewing more than 500 DUI arrests made by Grand-Central District Officer John Haleas for failure to follow proper procedures while administering breath and field sobriety tests during DUI stops.
As a result, prosecutors have already dropped 50 cases in which he was the arresting officer.
According to the initial report filed with Internal Affairs, Haleas failed to give a DUI suspect a field sobriety test, did not make him aware of his rights to refuse a breathalyzer test and did not observe him for the required 20 continuous minutes before administering the exam.
Police records show that Haleas made 718 arrests in 2005 and 2006, and was the primary witness in literally hundreds more DUI cases.
Ironically, Haleas was honored two times by the Alliance Against Intoxicated Motorists as a "Top Cop" for having more DUI arrests than any other officer in the state.
Though staying in communication with Internal Affairs to follow progress on the internal investigation, the state's attorney's office apparently did not receive word until October 10, 2007 that the investigation into the incident was completed and that Haleas was indeed guilty of misconduct.
As a result of the investigation, Haleas received a one-day suspension and was reassigned to desk duty until further notice, a spokesperson for the police department said.
But the damage has been done. In one week, prosecutors dropped a reported 50 misdemeanor DUI cases, and regretfully admitted that hundreds more could be dropped. Felony DUI cases could also be disputed and thrown out.
According to the story reported in the Chicago Tribune, DUI attorneys with clients who were arrested by Haleas are planning to challenge the legitimacy of their cases. Because the testimony of the officers is crucial to a DUI conviction, if the officer's credibility is in question, DUI attorneys often focus on this aspect to defend a client against the DUI charge.
One of the most perplexing elements of this saga to DUI attorneys is why Haleas was permitted to remain on active duty while the internal investigation was underway, the Tribune reports. Had he been off the street for the past two years, hundreds of DUI cases would not now be in jeopardy.

If West Virginia wins or ties Bowling Green, the Mountaineers will be the No. 4 seed at next weekend's Mid-American Conference Tournament in a location to be determined. Bowling Green qualifies for the tournament with a victory over West Virginia. The No. 1 seed and host will be determined by the Akron/Western Michigan result.

The Mountaineers (7-6-4, 2-2-1 MAC) are unbeaten in their last five matches, most recently winning 2-1 at Buffalo last Friday evening. Junior Andy Bevin scored the game-winning goal, and sophomore Majed Osman broke a five-game goal drought to put WVU on the board.
Bevin has been ranked No. 1 in the conference all season in points (22), highlighted by eight goals and six assists. Osman is currently ranked second in points (18) with six goals and six assists. The duo, along with sophomore Jamie Merriam, is tied for the conference lead in assists with six.
Bowling Green (6-7-5, 2-2-1 MAC) scored a season-high eight goals in an 8-0 victory over IPFW on Tuesday. Ryan Comiskey notched two goals and Danny Baraldi picked up three assists in blowout.
The Falcons are led this season by Anthony Grant, who is tied with Comiskey, for a team-leading four goals. Michael Wiest has started all 18 games in goal and has a 0.72 goals-against average. Wiest has made 69 saves and posted eight shutouts.

In this self-portrait, Eastman Johnson labors over a desk in a warmly lit room, most likely his Manhattan studio on Washington Square. The painting's dark palette and quiet mood recall seventeenth-century Dutch genre paintings, whose style Johnson absorbed while studying at The Hague in the Netherlands. Some of the small framed paintings in the background were probably acquired during the artist's time abroad, and the canvas itself is an artifact from that period of his life: x-radiographs reveal that Johnson painted this work over a copy of a Dutch portrait.

Our Process
Owner, Paolo Rosi, uses ancestral techniques passed along by his Father who grew up in Tuscany, Italy to create all of our wines.
Every Autumn, we import premium whole grapes directly from Lodi, California to our winery in Columbus, Ohio. All of our wine is created using this single ingredient: Grapes.
From crush all the way to bottling, including fermentation and aging, all production takes place in house. Consumers can hand-on-heart trust that our wines will lack the usual 'red wine after effects' that are typically experienced, such as headaches, because we keep it pure and all-natural. As a note, our process is also considered gluten free and vegan.
Our vintners use a process that avoids interfering with the grapes natural terroir which can be learned in detail below through the Via Vecchia Credo.
The Via Vecchia Credo
All-natural wines beyond the bottle, our promised process.
We rely on the naturally-occurring wild yeasts that come in on the grape skins. These wild yeasts preserve the grapes true character or 'terroir' in taste. We will never try to manufacture a specific taste using commercially engineered yeasts.
We trust sediment or 'lees' present in the wine to act as a natural antioxidant. We do not sulfite to kill naturally-occurring wild yeasts, we sulfite cleanse barrels before introducing wine for aging. We only use 50-80ppm of sulfites, less than half of the organic standard (100ppm).
We rely on the lees to clear wine and will never use mechanical filtration or chemical fining agents. We observe the phases of the Moon for various activities, including when to transfer wine during secondary fermentation as well as when to bottle. At a certain phase of the moon, typically a Full Moon, sediment remains packed at the bottom of the barrel meaning it will be harder to disturb when transferring wine to bottles, allowing clarity of the wine.
We do not add color (natural nor manufactured) or enzymes to our wines. We always rely on the nature of the specific grape varietal and our winemaking technique to provide color.
We do not adjust the scent of our wines.
We do not add additional alcohol, such as a port, to our wines. Natural fermentation allows a maximum alcohol percentage of about 12.5%.
We currently age all of our wines for a minimum of two years in neutral French Oak barrels for minimal oak taste. We do not add oak chips, oak dust, or oak staves to the barrels.
We retain a genuine transparency when sharing our process, because we are passionate about providing customers with the very best natural wine that can be made. Click here to view our wines and pairing advice.

Cabrera strikes out looking. 2 Ks for Latos. 1-0 Reds after 2.
Cabrera better be careful how long he stares at the ump or he might be watching the game
Cozart hit it hard but grounds out to 3rd.
They won't even work it when it's a known ball thrower
Volquez had 58 pitches and you swing at the 1st one??
Why would you swing early against EV?
"You only have to bat a thousand in two things; flying and heart transplants. Everything else you can go 4-for-5."
-Beano Cook
There was exactly zero wrong with Cozart swinging at that. Hit put good wood on it.
2014 Reds record: 1-2
I look like a banker in this...
Valdez strikes out swinging.
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."

Glenn Llopis
|Glenn Llopis
October 5, 1966
Monrovia, California
|Chairman- Glenn Llopis Group, Founder- Center for Hispanic Leadership
Glenn Llopis is a Cuban-American entrepreneur, author, motivational speaker and business consultant best known for promoting what he calls "the immigrant perspective" and is a popular voice on issues regarding the advancement of Hispanics in the United States.[1] Most of his writings, speaking engagements, and consulting assignments focus on leadership, career advancement, marketing, diversity management, entrepreneurship, and turn around operations. He promotes the idea that if people embrace the immigrant mentality, they will have a distinct advantage in business and in life by being able to see and seize previously unseen opportunities, and opportunities others don't see at all. Llopis' research has identified 6 natural characteristics that define this immigrant mentality.[2]
Early career[edit]
Glenn Llopis graduated from the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) with a degree in political science. He was recruited by the Gallo Wine Company in Los Angeles where he served as a sales representative. After two years at Gallo, he worked for the next seven years at Sunkist Growers, Incorporated where he was an executive leading the successful re-launch of the company's beverage division across Retail, Warehouse Club and Foodservice distribution channels. Llopis then served as a senior executive at American Seafoods where he led the Foodservice and Retail business and operational units.
In these early years of his career, Llopis developed expertise in the areas of business development, branding, entrepreneurship, marketing, strategic alliances, corporate social responsibility[3] and turnaround operations.
Entrepreneurial Spirit[edit]
In 1997, Llopis launched his first venture (Luna Rossa Gourmet Foods), which focused on the sales, marketing and distribution of gourmet vegetables, pasta sauce, and salad dressing through Retail, Foodservice, and Warehouse Club distribution channels. The company's brands were: Luna Rossa and Chef's Harvest.
In 2007, Llopis founded Glenn Llopis Group and Center for Hispanic Leadership. These ventures focus specifically on leadership and business development in the workplace based on the teachings of his "immigrant perspective".[4] message and methodology, In May 2009, he published a book titled, Earning Serendipity, 4 Skills for Creating and Sustaining Good Fortune in Your Work[5] (Greenleaf Book Group), also based on these teachings.
Published Books[edit]
Earning Serendipity, 4 Skills for Creating and Sustaining Good Fortune in Your Work[6]
- Llopis introduces the 4 Opportunity Mastery skills to help individuals and organizations create and sustain momentum in their work (Greenleaf Book Group, May 2009). Llopis' framework is presented based on his experiences as a corporate executive, as well as the well-grounded lessons of the immigrant perspective that were inspired from his father, Frank Llopis – a victim of Castro's revolution in Cuba who was a prominent Latin music pioneer that introduced rock 'n' roll into the rhythms and sounds of Salsa music and Merengue music with his quartet, es:Los Llopis, in the 1950s and 60's.[7]
Glenn Llopis Group (GLG)[edit]
- In 2007, Llopis started Glenn Llopis Group (GLG) to help Fortune 500 organizations develop talent that is relevant and leadership that can create sustainable business outcomes. He does this by teaching them the importance of the immigrant perspective and its unique role in how they innovate, maximize their ROI activities, and dominate their industries. Other notable organizations make such claims, with specific research findings from Partnership for a New American Economy.
- GLG works with leaders to develop their authentic and whole selves in how they think, act and innovate. The uncertainty of the post-2008 economy has demanded more from the leaders of America's corporations, and GLG provides the tools (through the immigrant perspective) for companies to become more mobile, more transient, more flexible, more innovative, and more strategic and diverse. In September 2012, GLG introduced - Glenn Llopis Training - aimed to enable the ROI of an organization's leadership, business development & innovation, and diversity efforts for the 21st century global marketplace.
Center for Hispanic Leadership (CHL)[edit]
- In 2007, Llopis also started Center for Hispanic Leadership (CHL) to help Fortune 500 organizations unlock opportunities for talent development and business development by giving Hispanic leaders[8] and Hispanic customers a voice.[9]
- CHL is focused on the professional growth and talent development of Hispanic employees through the use of culturally tailored curriculum[10] that helps participants see the potential for their cultural roots to promote workplace innovation, growth, and productivity. The company consults organizations on how to enable business growth by developing Hispanic talent and to help them capitalize on the following time-sensitive emerging trends: 1) Hispanic population is estimated at more than 50 million according to the 2010 United States Census;[11] 2) Hispanic purchasing power will reach $1.5 trillion by 2015 according to Nielsen;[12] 3) Hispanic small business owners are growing at twice the rate of the national average, with an estimated $350 billion in sales.[13]
- In August 2012, CHL introduced - Hispanic Training Center, the first and only online interactive virtual training center for and about Hispanics.[14] The goal of Hispanic Training Center is to train and certify individuals and organizations to help mobilize economic growth through the professional development of Hispanic talent and leaders, as well as the education of non-Hispanics about their Hispanic employees and the Hispanic market.
- Additionally in August, CHL launched its inaugural chapter in Atlanta, Georgia -- CHL Atlanta. CHL's Atlanta Chapter (and others across the country in the future) focuses on providing culturally relevant educational online tools, and onsite discussion roundtables to help Latino professionals lead in the workplace and advance in their careers. With this in mind, the Chapter President's initiatives center around fostering strategic alliances with local market corporations to help their Hispanic talent bridge culture to enable higher levels of performance; thus cultivating innovation and initiative. CHL also extends its culturally relevant educational outreach by developing local community engagement programs with colleges and universities to better prepare the next generation of Hispanic leaders that enter the workplace.
Television Appearances[edit]
Llopis has been featured on national television shows, including Univision's "Al Punto" and "Primer Impacto," Fox News' "America's News HQ," CNN en Espanol's "En Efectivo" and WGN News. He has also been interviewed numerous times on local ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox News morning and primetime shows.

Sukhoi will be turning out three Superjet 100s per month from July, which will lead to a total annual output of 26 of the regional jets.
And, according to Mikhail Pogosyan, president of the airframer's parent company, United Aircraft, the production rate will increase by one-and-a-half times during 2014, to take next year's total to 40 aircraft. After that, he said, further increases should put Sukhoi into the 50-60 per year range, which he describes as a "quite satisfactory figure" for the programme, which has at present an orderbook of some 150 aircraft.
The delivery here at Le Bourget of the first Superjet for a Western customer - Interjet of Mexico - was somewhat overshadowed by reports of a rift between Sukhoi and Alenia Aermacchi, joint-venture partners in Venice-based Superjet International, which is responsible for sales and completion in Western markets and worldwide after-sales support.
Alenia is understood to be unhappy with the volume of work linked to the project, but Pogosyan downplayed any "discrepancies or misunderstanding".
He said, however, that both sides "could be more efficient".

Anything with flames. The only way to destroy a zombie is to burn it.
A good idea would be a Sam's Club. Not only are there plenty of bulk supplies and concrete wall, but they card you to get in (not that this really helps, since the zombies can just eat the car-charger). However, for long-term survival, a Walmart would be better, as the gardening section has seeds and mulch.

Scouting Through Soccer and Learning For Life Soccer/Basketball are exciting athletics based programs that provide training and character development through the prism of sports.
Youth participate in seasonal programs offering games, practices, and community outreach opportunities. Each season is based on a flexible curriculum that is designed to teach youth the importance of engaging with their communities, while promoting physical fitness, sportsmanship, and creativity. As youth progress throughout the season they will be provided opportunities for leadership and advancement by the dedicated mentoring of coaches and volunteers.

Game play challenges youth to make quick decisions, discipline their bodies and minds, and adapt creatively to problems and obstacles. For these reasons and many more, soccer is an ideal vehicle to help youth explore their communities and learn important life skills.
Scouting Through Soccer
Scouting Through Soccer adapts the traditional program of the Boy Scouts of America to the arena of Soccer. Soccer Teams function as boy lead units confronting the challenges of creating a successful competitive soccer program with the assistance of the Scout Oath and Law.

Pop Pop Bang Bang is an incredible project created by a great collaboration between photographer Thomas Brown and creative director Anna Burns. The former describes it as a mix of "film, photography, and pyro". Together, the two focused on three themes that seems to always find their way into movies: explosions, guns, and girls. With this idea they decided to create their own conceptual, visually arresting settings in three different London locations. Very eye catching!
Drama is very important in life: You have to come on with a bang. You never want to go out with a whimper. Everything can have drama if it's done right. Even a pancake. Julia Child

You know I love Christmas and I always will. But let's face it, Christmas can be pretty boring at times. That's why I have some festive sex positions for you to try to stave off that Christmas boredom.
To do The Stocking Stuffer sex position, ladies lie on your backs with your legs up in the air. Try to get your legs as close to your chest as possible. It'll be important for the next step.
Now that the ladies are on their backs with their legs as close to their chests as possible, men straddle your lady's hips facing the opposite direction like you were 69ing. Now lean forward, rest your weight on your forearms, and put your erect penis into the lady's vagina.
And that's it! Now the stocking (vagina) is being stuffed (by your penis)!
The Stocking Stuffer isn't an overly complicated sex position but it can be strenuous after a while for both parties. I don't know if you've ever held your legs close to your chest or supported your weight on your forearms for an extended period of time, but it's not easy. At least this sex position allows for deep, unusual penetration so the likelihood that you last for a long time is low.
If your arms or legs are getting too tired from attempting The Stocking Stuffer sex position, flip over and switch to the reverse cowgirl sex position:
Good luck everyone and make sure you share your experiences of trying the The Stocking Stuffer sex position in the comments!

A Sudanese government minister threatened to strike Israel, and the country called on the United Nations Security Council to condemn Israel, over the bombing of a weapons factory in Khartoum.
Sudan "reserves the right to strike back at Israel," Sudanese Information Minister Ahmed Belal Osman said Wednesday, hours after the attack on the arms factory which left two dead.
Osman told reporters that the four military planes that attacked the plant belonged to Israel, and were seen entering the country's airspace from the east.
He said that the factory made "traditional weapons."
Sudan on Wednesday asked the Security Council to condemn Israel.
"We reject such aggression and expect your esteemed council to condemn this attack because it is a blatant violation of the concept of peace and security," Daffa-Alla Elhag Ali Osman, the Sudanese envoy to the U.N. reportedly said. .
Sudan accused Israel of attacking a weapons convoy traveling from Sudan to the Gaza Strip last December and of a similar attack in 2009, as well as targeting a car carrying a high-ranking Hamas official last spring and other targeted attacks on vehicles.
Sudan reportedly is a transit spot for weapons smuggling, particularly to Gaza through Egypt, and a center for al-Qaida terrorists.
Israeli officials on Wednesday and Thursday would neither confirm nor deny involvement in the attack.
