London attractions: Tate Modern hits headlines following new exhibitions
Published: Saturday 11th of May 2013
The Tate Modern is undoubtedly one of the most renowned of all of the London attractions which explore art and culture in the UK.
It is host to all of the major modern art movements and contains works by many of the world's most famous artists.
These include Picasso, Michelangelo, Da Vinci and Matisse among others. The gallery recently hit the headlines for one of its current exhibitions, which is the first full-scale documentation of the works of Mira Schendel (1919-1988).
Schendel is one of Latin America's most important and prolific post-war artists. Other exhibitions currently on at the Tate Modern include Ellen Gallagher: AxME. The Ellen Gallagher exhibition was also in the headlines this week and explores the concepts of race and beauty.
If you're planning on a trip to the Tate soon, then also be sure not to miss out on the Saloua Raouda Choucair exhibition which explores the amazing work of the Lebanese artist.

Rev. Jones delivered the invocation at this year's Martin Luther King day rally at the state capitol, one day before the inauguration of Barack Obama.
Spirit of Life and Love, as we assemble in the shadow of a flag which symbolizes a heritage of hate, we gather not with bitterness but with faith that the moral arc of the universe may be long, but it bends toward justice. Tomorrow at noon, it will bend a little more as an African American senator takes the oath of office to become the President of the United States, standing on Capitol steps laid by African slaves. Martin Luther King himself could not have imagined this historic inauguration when he preached his dream of equality in the nation's capital in 1963. It is indeed a dream come true.
It is dream come true for Africans kidnapped from their homes, crammed into the bowels of slave ships, thrown overboard when they were sick, and brought against their will to this "land of the free."
It is a dream come true for people of color who were bought and sold on the auction block like livestock, torn from their families, prohibited from marriage, disallowed to read and write, shackled in chains, brutalized and raped by slave masters, made to work without wages, and on whose backs bore the economy of this prosperous young nation.
It is a dream come true for freed slaves who were denied their civil liberties as citizens and their dignity as human beings by the separate and unequal system of segregation and who were intimidated by hooded terrorists, ashamed to show their faces, who burned their homes, bombed their churches, and made of them a strange fruit hanging from trees by a noose.
It is a dream come true for civil rights marchers, some of whom we are privileged to have in our midst, who endured fire hoses and tear gas, vicious dogs and billy clubs, cattle prods and bull whips, boycotts and bullets as bravely as any soldier on the battlefield, for they were foot soldiers for freedom.
Yes, tomorrow will be a dream come true in the high places of power. But let us not allow our celebration to deter us from the work that remains to be done in the low places of racial inequality and economic disparity.
In the low places young men and women who have no viable opportunities here at home are sent abroad to fight an unnecessary and unjust war so that people in high places may profit from their blood.
In the low places many working people must work two and three jobs just to survive because a minimum wage is not a livable wage.
In the low places 46 million Americans don't have health insurance and must make that unconscionable choice between a visit to the doctor and a visit to the grocery store.
In the low places there is a corridor of shame of school children, our boys and girls, our future, consigned by their state government to a minimally adequate education as if that were morally adequate.
Whether your ancestors came to these shores in a pilgrim ship or a slave ship, we are all in the same boat now.
Whether you listen to hip hop, be bop, doo wop, or dance the lindy hop, it's time for all of us to sing from the same page a song of dignity and worth for all persons.
Whether you wear saggy pants or pull your pants up to your chin, it's time for all of us to put on our work clothes and get down in the trenches and work for justice in the low places, even right here down in South Carolina, where in too many categories, we are at the top of everything bad and at the bottom of everything good.
Let us join hands and work together for that day when, "Justice will roll down like water, and righteousness like a mighty stream." Let us work for that day when the promise that "all persons are created equal" will be a promised fulfilled. Let us work together to make the American dream a reality for all people, and let us make it reality in the low places as well as the high places. May you and I be fortified for this noble work by the courage of our convictions, the hope of our ideals, and the strength of our faith.

Recommended: Identify grooveex.dll related errors
External information from Tony Klein:
Important: Some malware camouflages itself as grooveex.dll, particularly when located in the C:\Windows or C:\Windows\System32 folder. Therefore, you should check the grooveex.dll process on your PC to see if it is a threat. We recommend Security Task Manager for verifying your computer's security. This was one of the Top Download Picks of The Washington Post and PC World.
Summary: Average user rating of grooveex.dll: based on 22 votes with 6 user comments. 15 users think grooveex.dll is essential for Windows or an installed application. One user thinks it's probably harmless. 2 users think it's neither essential nor dangerous. 2 users suspect danger. 2 users think grooveex.dll is dangerous and recommend removing it. One user is not sure about it.
A clean and tidy computer is the key requirement for avoiding problems with grooveex. This means running a scan for malware, cleaning your hard drive using cleanmgr and sfc /scannow, uninstalling programs that you no longer need, checking for Autostart programs (using msconfig) and enabling Windows' Automatic Update. Always remember to perform periodic backups, or at least to set restore points.
Should you experience an actual problem, try to recall the last thing you did, or the last thing you installed before the problem appeared for the first time. Use the resmon command to identify the processes that are causing your problem. Even for serious problems, rather than reinstalling Windows, you are better off doing a repair of your installation, or in the case of Windows 8, executing the DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth command. This allows you to repair the operating system without losing data.
To help you analyze the grooveex.dll process on your computer, the following programs have proven to be helpful: Security Task Manager displays all running Windows tasks, including embedded hidden processes, such as keyboard and browser monitoring or Autostart entries. A unique security risk rating indicates the likelihood of the process being potential spyware, malware or a Trojan. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware detects and removes sleeping spyware, adware, Trojans, keyloggers, malware and trackers from your hard drive.

In May and within a week of the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services (OIG) releasing a proposed rule to expand its exclusion authority, the agency also released a proposed rule (Rule) expanding its authority to impose civil monetary penalties (CMPs). OIG anticipates that "CMP collections may increase in the future in light of the new CMP authorities and other changes proposed in this [R]ule." Over the last decade, OIG has collected more than $165 million in CMPs (between $10.2 million to $26.2 million per year).
Health care providers, suppliers and related institutions should pay particular attention to five proposed key changes:
(1) The focus on an expansion in the range of conduct for which OIG could assess CMPs to include: failing to provide OIG timely access to documents, ordering or prescribing medication or services while excluded from participation in federal health care programs, making false statements on enrollment applications to participate in federal health care programs, failing to report and return known overpayments, and making or using a false statement that is material to a false or fraudulent claim.
(2) Interpretation of the penalty as a per day penalty—for example, up to $10,000 for each day a person fails to report and return an overpayment.
(3) Imposition of CMPs on Medicare Advantage and Medicare Part D organizations (if any of their employees or contractors engaged in fraudulent activity). This broadens the general liability of these organizations for misconduct to include contracted providers or suppliers, employees and agents. Medicare Advantage and Part D organizations would also be eligible for CMPs if they enroll an individual (or his or her designee) without consent; transfer an enrollee to another plan without the enrollee's (or his or her designee's) consent; transfer an enrollee to make a commission; fail to comply with marketing restrictions; or employ or contract with any person who engages in prohibited conduct.
(4) Revision to the current structure of 42 C.F.R. Part 1003 because it is "cumbersome and potentially confusing for the reader" in order to "add clarity and improve transparency in OIG's decision-making processes." The bases for CMP assessments would be grouped into subsections by subject matter. OIG would provide a single list of factors to be considered when determining the amount of a CMP to include: the nature and circumstances of the violation, the degree of culpability of the person, the history of prior offenses, other wrongful conduct, and other matters as justice may require.
(5) An increase of the claims-mitigating factor from $1,000 to $5,000. The claims-mitigating factor acts as a threshold to help OIG determine the severity of a program violation. OIG believes that the $1,000 threshold is "lower than appropriate . . . given the changes in the costs of health care since this regulation was last updated in 2002."
Other notable proposed changes include: the addition of a mitigating factor for "appropriate and timely corrective action" taken by a person under OIG's Self-Disclosure Protocol; clarification that a single aggravating circumstance may result in the maximum amount allowed penalty, assessment, or exclusion; and the delegation of authority from the Department of Health and Human Services Secretary to OIG at Part 1003.150.

So we get out of the Warloop all sweaty and thirsty and stop at the One Stop for gas and such and a guy walks by us and says... "Jeez, some of us have to work for a living
So I sez "Hey, we do too! This is our vacation!"
And so we gets to talking, and his name is Mark, and he's on ADV, and has heard of the TAT, and is teaching his daughter how to ride (
), and hopes someday to ride the TAT, and we're swapping stories, and he tells us that we should post on ADV that the owner of the land that borders Warloop is petitioning the county to allow him to gate and close the road, and that maybe some ADVRiders in the area or even out of the area could try to convince the County of the intrinsic value to the local economy and civic pride in leaving it just the way it is.
That's all we know, Warloop's days may be numbered.
I also got the card of a guy who ran a custom motorcycle shop in Mountainburg. I kept his card in my tankbag mapcase for the rest of the trip, and now I can't remember his name, or the name of the shop, and I was going to give him a plug.
My anti-spam brain circuits must be acivated now. Anyway, he was a nice guy. The card is still in my tankbag... he'll have to wait until the end of September for his ADV free advertisement.

Here goes ...
I'm high-energy, curious, positive, a bit silly. I'm quick, straightforward to a fault, and somewhat mischievous, although I can behave myself when necessary. Prone to using big words (for the sake of precision not pretension - at least most of the time); giggling; spilling drinks even when sober. My tastes range from highbrow lit to eighties one-hit wonders, but I think that how people like to spend their time and how they view the world is probably more crucial in relationships than sharing favorite songs. I'm happy with my life - my job, my friends and such. But I do think shared adventures are more fun. If I had my druthers I'd find someone good and real and honest and also fun. Positive about life but grounded enough to still be practical. Still curious about the world, but seen enough of it not to be too restless with day-to-day life. Someone who takes care of himself and the people he loves. I'm attracted to men who don't only live a life of the mind - of work and papers and online distractions - and most definitely charmed by confidence and cleverness and snappy conversation. Then there's that elusive, unpredictable thing called chemistry, which is essential.

A good narrative. Plotting dinner parties I only sometimes manage to throw. Mad Men. Sea Urchin at Momofuku. Countryside cabins with rivers running behind them to lull you to sleep. Grilled cheese and tomato soup.
Ok, some recent random things I've enjoyed: learning how to hand-sew leather wallets, enjoying very authentic dim sum with dear friends, ordering a slightly macho scotch, biking in the sun, debating whether privacy is dead, sleeping in.

This in a way will be a hurdle that the Repop will have to overcome, and not something i particularly envy them for, because if they adopt a similar system to PWE, then there are bound to be repercussions, particularly from the affected players, regardless of how deserved the action is, as was seen in Neverwinter. And its not like they can safely ignore bad player behaviour either. F2P does after all have more than a few weaknesses, this is just one of them.

Lots of free to play players dont respect anybody as it is free.... they arent putting any money into it. So they technically dont care, as they can move to the next free 2 play game.
so no his "opinions" are quite right. Asheron's Call 1 and 2.. DAOC, SWG, all pay to play had the strongest communities of players. Heck if a person enjoyed dancing or playing an instrument in SWG just for fun because they got to socialize tells you a bit how a community was built.

Those examples you gave are all older titles in the forced grouping era of MMORPGs. During that era players generally behaved much better, because they needed one another. They were always grouping and if you got a bad reputation you weren't going to find groups. When grouping you were generally sociable and it made for much better communities in general.
The anti-social players started when games became completely soloable. Post-WoW it just became easier and easier for players to do that, and in many cases grouping slowed you down. Suddenly players are rejecting group invites when they are solo because they don't want to have to get slowed down. If they want group content they use group finders with cross server grouping. They may never see these other guys again. So suddenly you have a lot more Greed looters, and anti-social types. There are less repercussions for doing so.
That problem is both in the P2P and F2P games in this era.

doesnt matter what era, games of the past were all p2p... games of today are mainly free2play. your whole argument you just posted up is exactly why those games in teh past did well. And why todays games dont do so well. Why games as old as Asheron's Call are still running till this day. Now companies are will to just shut them down. Now gaming companies are taking on the model of buy my game in p2p now.. then we will turn to free 2 play after we sucked you dry... the games are designed to be anti social. They dont have P2P anymore today. look at the chain of free 2 play games coming out. including this one, The Population. back then a quality pay to play model was that the developers did have game masters that made their game involved. today nope. its just a dead world. So yeah games back then were more quality. games may have started out as pay to play but they dont stay long. the quality of gaming is basically have affected the games of today. im sure yuo can name a couple of pay to play today but those games are most likely just aweful.

They are an indie company and less people will try their game if it's a subscription model.

My point is that people are blaming the payment model for communities being worse today than they were 10-15 years ago. I agree with you that they are. But I think the primary blame for the community dropping off is the lack of need of other players.

I think you were saying that tongue in cheek but I did play Defiance for several months earlier this year. That had PS3, XBox360 and PC versions, which because of the console companies policies had to have separate servers for each platform. That must have had a severe impact on running costs for a start. Then of course, the game had to have numerous compromises to run on all three platforms. That resulted in a poor GUI, a poor text and voice chat system etc. etc. That's my only experience of an mmo running on multiple platforms but it had lots of problems caused by that.
Regarding P2P versus F2P, I think all this nostalgia for the "Golden days" of P2P mmo's is a case of "rose tinted glasses" distorting people views.
Back in 2004, I was the mayor of a metropolis in SWG. I kept adding accounts until I had five in total. I had all the important characters the city needed under my control: Mayor, Architect, Guild Leader, Master Doc, even a Master Entertainer in the cantina running a looping macro almost 24 hrs per day via my backup PC. At the time, it seemed normal, when I look back now, I must have been crazy to take a game that seriously. The interesting thing is a number of people have claimed in this thread that P2P makes for better communities. Well, most people I came across in SWG were fine but there were some notorious exceptions. One person was famous on the Farstar server for parking his Bantha on the ticket inspector at Coronet starport so nobody could see him. Another pair went out of there way to ruin any community events being organised. These people basically played the game to grief and were happy to pay $15 per month to do so.
A while after leaving SWG, I tried WoW, a P2P game. Well that is still the worst community I have ever come across. The public chat channel was full of morons, the were griefers around every corner it seemed. I only lasted around six weeks in that game before I'd had enough. LotRO became my main game for many years after and was a total contrast to WoW. I have a lifetime sub for that, which made it B2P in effect. LotRO has always been known for its great community and when it went F2P (or freemium more accurately) there was a big surge in player numbers but the quality of the players didn't go down as far as I could see.
I've played lots of other games in recent years. Most had a sub to start with but I, along with nearly everyone else, played for a month or two until max level and then quit. I think every single one of them has gone F2P or B2P since. It should be clear to everyone by now that the P2P model is history but this site seems to have many deniers burying their heads like ostriches, while trying to avoid the obvious.
The only viable long term options for games companies going forward are B2P or F2P. If big budget titles like Rift, SWTOR and TSW can't make a monthly sub stick, a small indie publisher won't be able to either.

free to play is my biggest concern as well for this game.
If they deliver a solid product they can spin of that, more or less like what was done with Eve Online. Thing that would be much better for building a strong community and then work on growing.
Would the people who have it stuck up in their mind that F2P = bad kindly get it unstuck and out of their minds? The Repopulation would sink like a stone if it were P2P because the market's just not even remotely as friendly as it used to be back when EVE started out... to say nothing of the fact that if it were P2P its direct competition for the regular sandbox gamer (that is who doesn't care about aesthetics but does about the freedom in the game) would likely be a F2P game by the name of Archeage. B2P would also be very risky as well, far better for them to just go F2P with a non-intrusive cash shop (aesthetics stuff) and just for them to push some cash into their marketing department and encourage people to try their game and if they like it to tell a friend.

Hopefully the wowkiddies won't ruin the game with their demands for raids and global banks and global auction houses and being perfectly safe everywhere so nobody's e-feelings can get hurt.
Played WoW already, not interested in playing another even if its free.

It is 2013 people, I'm surprised the F2p model still has its doubters. F2p doesnt mean it is pay2win as the dev responding has already pointed out.
Many people will not pay a dollar to pay a game, so if it's subscription-only the company gets zero dollars from them which hurts the overall game. But if you offer optional services like bigger bank slots, cosmetics etc, then certain whale gamers will gladly spend 100 bucks+ on this type of stuff. Those things make your gaming experience more convenient and unique, but they dont affect things like PVE or PVP. In essence you have a smaller number of gamers subsidizing those who dont want to pay anything. But if this choice of deciding to pay is optional and self selecting then why not? The people who pay get custom features and those are f2p get a free game. In the end both parties win since without the payers the game would shut down, but without the f2pers there would be a smaller and less vibrant server population, something that is critical in games with player driven economics and in-depth crafting.

Why would I want to buy bigger bag with RL money? I want to craft it or fight for it inside game world and rather pay subscription which is just charged from my account in the most subtle way imaginable.
F2P and its omnipresent cashshop ruin my gameplay. I want Repopulation P2P rather than F2P.
It is my subjective opinion. I realize that some people do not mind being confronted with cash shops and real money transactions in their MMOs if they are in return allowed to play game for free. I realize it, but I dont understand it.

The vast majority of players aren't really interested in community, immersion or devotion to any one game. Players like me, who just want to have fun, without pressure, without commitment. You know, "players" - people playing games, not living in them.
I'm not going to play another P2P, ever. So if any company wants my money, it's B2P or F2P.
Apparently, a lot of them do want my money.

Fotunately, there are millions of us quite happy with F2P or B2P, which is why nearly every new mmo is going for one of those payment models. It's tough luck for those dinosaurs who don't like them and can't face up to the new reality, as they are going to be faced with fewer and fewer alternative options as time goes by.

In a bid to curtail the activities of sea piracy and robbery in Nigeria waterways, a bill to domesticate international laws, guidelines, and conventions on the matter is underway in the National Assembly.
The global maritime watchdog, International Maritime Organisation (IMO) has several treaties, guidelines, and conventions to tackle the menace of sea piracy, robbery in the waterways and sundry matters.
However, such treaties, guidelines, and conventions cannot be applied in member countries until they are domesticated.
Nigeria is presently in Category C, in the Governing Council of IMO, and she would be seeking for a re-election into the prestigious body during its General Assembly at its Headquarters in London, United Kingdom, next month.
To ensure that the bill does not encounter any hitch at the National Assembly, a Lagos base lawyer, Mr. Mike Igbokwe (SAN), has been given a mandate to ensure that the bill has all the provisions to enable Nigeria successfully prosecute waterways robbers and sea pirates.
Igbokwe, who dropped the hint in Lagos in a chat with reporters, said as the consultant to the government for the preparation of the bill, its successful passage into law in the National Assembly would help Nigeria to domesticate all international conventions relating to suppression of unlawful acts against safety of marine navigation and those that are related to piracy at sea as enacted by the United Nations (UN).
He contended that Nigeria was in urgent need of a legal framework against the pirates and robbers whose activities had been on the increase in recent times.
He lamented that with the upsurge of criminal activities on the Nigerian waters, the country was now being rated as Somalia in the incidence of pirates and sea robbers.
"There has been a report of hijacking of vessels, cargo theft with violent on crews by robbers within the Nigerian territorial waters and off Nigerian waters. Some of the characteristics of these actions have been theft of crude oil. Recently, 23 sailors in Cyprus flagged ship were hijacked 63 nautical miles off Cotonou.
"Nigeria is now being categorised the same as Somalia as a result of these incidents. But the incident in Nigeria, even in the Gulf of Guinea, is not as high as that of Somalia where vessels are being hijacked for ransom. The Nigerian maritime stakeholders are worried at the increasing trend, as businesses are being interrupted especially fishing trawlers," he said.
Listing the negative effects of the criminal activities on the Nigerian waters, Igbokwe said lives and property were being lost on the daily basis, just as businesses were being truncated with delayed navigation of vessels as a result of the menace.
He said insurance premium and freight on Nigeria bound cargoes had gone up because of the risk of navigation into Nigeria. This has pushed up the country's inflation level as all these have combined to increase the cost of consumable items in the Nigerian open markets.
The country, he said, was being criticised internationally for failing to suppress the robbers and to ensure safety of navigation at sea. "The risk is enough to discourage investors which will on the long-run affect direct foreign investment and capital flow in Nigeria," he said.
He said although the Nigerian maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) and the Navy, have put in their best to control the menace, the enabling law for prosecution of offenders was not effective, as Nigeria's Criminal Code was inadequate to effect full-blown prosecution of offenders, when caught.
"The Navy is training officers and men to acquire skills needed for quick and effective response. The joint patrol of Nigeria/Benin waters to curb pirate activities is commendable. It is a bilateral co-operation. It is the first of its kind in line with MOWCA function.
"The NIMASA, the agency statutorily charged with responsibility to prevent and check robbery and piracy, has provided the needed platforms for such joint patrol, and the agency MoU with Nigeria Navy to fight the menace are all a steps in the right direction.
"However, I am of the view that all these efforts already made by NIMASA and Nigeria Navy to prevent this menace, though highly commendable, are not enough. I want to suggest some of the ways we can take further steps in order to achieve desired result," Igbokwe said.
He said two years ago when Nigeria, in collaboration with IMO organised a workshop on piracy and armed robbery at sea, one of the recommendations that emanated from the workshop was the establishment of a legal framework to domesticate international treaties on piracy and robbery at sea.
According to him, Nigeria though party to these treaties has hitherto not made them parts of its municipal laws.
The treaties, he said, included the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea relating to piracy, Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Act against Safety of Maritime Navigation of 1988 and their protocols, especially 1988 protocol on the suppression of unlawful Act against the safety of fixed platform on the continental shelf.
The Lagos lawyer, also an author, said Nigeria was in the process of domesticating these treaties and protocols as a bill has been drafted by NIMASA, using a consultant working with IMO consultant.
The draft bill has been handed over to NIMASA, which has in turn dispatched it to all stakeholders for comments, before sending it to National Assembly for passage into law.
"Two years ago, Nigeria took a major step to domesticate these conventions and protocols by appointing a consultant and IMO consultant with a view to reviewing all Nigerian laws vis-à-vis the recommendations at the workshop to come out with a legal frame work in Nigeria against piracy and robbery at sea.
"At the end, a bill was produced, which was given to NIMASA. The Authority has also put into motion a measure to dispatch the bill to maritime stakeholders for studies and they will come up soon to a forum for their comment before sending it to the National Assembly for passage", he added.
Igbokwe enjoined members of the National Assembly to treat the proposed bill with a sense of urgency so that offenders could be prosecuted to serve as a deterrent to others before they finally destroy the image of the country.
He disclosed that if the bill is eventually passed into law when it gets to the National Assembly, offender could forfeit all his or her asset, locally and internationally if found guilty by a court.
"They will also not have a place to hide, as there is a clause that makes provision for extradition for offenders", he added.
Piracy: Nigeria, Benin, Others Unite against Common Evil
Nigeria, Republic of Benin and others have started an initiative that would curtail the activities of pirates in the West and Central Africa sub-regions, writes John Iwori, who has been following the development
Worried by the menace of sea piracy and robbery in Nigeria's territorial waters, the Federal Government has come up with a new initiative designed to tackle them headlong.
Industry watchers said the new initiative would curb piracy and other forms of violent attacks on ships and crew and provide an enduring sanity on the nation's waters. This is against the backdrop of increase cases of attacks in Nigeria's territorial waters and beyond in recent times.
Tackling a Common Problem
It was gathered that the idea to join forces to tackle the problem of piracy and robbery in the waterways emanated from the realisation that no single country can do it alone.
This is not unconnected with the fact that piracy and sea robbery have international implications as the maritime industry revolves around nationals of several countries.
According to those who know how pirates operate, one cannot effectively tame them without collaborating with other key critical stakeholders. Why will one fight a lone battle without tangible results when one can achieve more and win the battle decisively by joining forces with others who have similar set goals and objectives?
This was why the partnership with other countries was mooted and it was considered an idea worth implementing for the benefit of citizenry in the West and Central sub-regions and beyond.
Those who spoke to THISDAY said the initiative which would also bring significant improvement to the country's capabilities to effectively perform Search and Rescue (SAR) functions in Nigeria's territorial waters and beyond.
The move was anchored by Nigeria's apex maritime regulatory authority, Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA).
Key players in the maritime sector of the economy said this would involve a closer collaboration between the management of NIMASA and the Nigerian Navy on one hand, and the agency, the navy and other relevant neighbouring and foreign parties on the other hand.
They contended that the collaboration, which was designed to extensively enhance NIMASA's outreach so that Nigeria could easily mobilise and pursue criminals perpetuating violence against ships in Nigerian waters, as well as beyond it, in case fleeing pirates run into neighbouring territorial waters.
Already, the governments of Nigeria and the Republic of Benin had signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) which was formally launched last month.
The joint patrol, to be led by Navy Commodore Muftau Bola Ajibade in the Seme and Cotonou territorial waters of Republic of Benin, was meant to curb the increasing activities of pirates and other sea criminals.
Impeccable sources told THISDAY that the development drew its strength from Presidents Boni Yayi and Goodluck Jonathan meeting in Abuja two months ago. Code named 'Operation Prosperity', the new initiative is expected to bring a new lease of life for ship owners, vessels, crew and others.
Director General of NIMASA, Mr. Ziakede Akpobolokemi, noted that the bilateral co-operation, which was the first of its kind in the West African sub-region, was totally in line with the Maritime Organisation of West and Central Africa (MOWCA)'s Coastguard Function Network Initiative (CFNI).
Akpobolokemi, who was represented at the occasion by the Executive Director, Maritime Services and Shipping Development, Dr. Ishaku Shekarau, expressed his belief that the task of "eliminating maritime threat is basically the duty of governments of the respective countries".
However, he said the most effective approach towards ensuring total security in the maritime industry would no doubt, be best achieved through genuine co-operation between private and public sectors working together to create an integrated strategy, especially a strategy which would also align regional co-operation among the nations in the sub-region.
The Charge d'Affaires of the Nigerian Embassy in Benin, Toyin Solaja, and the Defence Attache in the Nigerian Embassy, Cotonou, Colonel AMS Anyalechi, the Chief of Naval Staff of the Republic of Benin, Captain Hounsou Gbessmehlan commended Federal Government's determination and initiatives to fight piracy in Seme and Cotonou areas.
THISDAY checks revealed that the management of the agency embarked on the present frontal-attack measures, having realised that many of the pirates were no longer carrying the traditional long knives and small guns but had graduated to carrying rocket propelled grenades and other sophisticated weapons to ensure that they achieve their criminal intentions.
It was also revealing and scary that pirates in their latest mode of operation which aims at ship jacking now employs small but faster crafts to first hijack fishing vessels because it has fuel longer range, and subsequently deploy the fishing trawlers in the assault on mother ships.
A boat operator, who is privy to the modus operandi of the sea pirates, said: "They first use the fast moving small crafts to subdue a fishing vessel. Thereafter, they put their fast craft on the fishing boat, sail towards mother vessel that have come to lift crude, launch the small craft, attack the mother vessel, and tie up the crew.
"Thereafter, they get smaller vessels to siphon the oil out of the mother vessel, and once they have exhausted the crude oil or product, they let go the crew go with the ship, and begin an effort towards finding buyers for the stolen cargoes", the operator added.
Partnership that Works
There is no doubt that the collaboration between Nigeria and the Republic of Benin has turned out to be a partnership that works. It was learnt that the working of the partnership was borne out of the fact that it started well in Nigeria when NIMASA gave the idea a trial early this year.
Captain Waredi Enisuoh, who confirmed the development, lauded the determination of Akpobolokemi to rise to the challenge of tackling the challenge of sea piracy and robbery in Nigeria waterways since his appointment as the helmsman of NIMASA late last year.
He maintained that the NIMASA Director General was leaving no stones unturned, in his bid to outwit the pirates and sea robbers in the manner they operate in Nigeria's territorial waters.
"It is true, and this is what we have started to do. We have improved on our partnership with the Navy, and this partnership is working very well. Even the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) has commended Nigeria, for taking this approach.
"So, we now have patrols at sea, covering the sea with a private company which has provided very fast platforms. So, we intercept them, investigate them and take necessary actions. It is an ongoing thing and that is why the piracy rate in Lagos harbour has dropped drastically.
"This is because of the partnership we have in place which include the provision of fast craft, military and civilian partnership with NIMASA. It has worked effectively and the Kenyans are already thinking of replicating it in their own country. In fact, people are buying seriously into the idea. Besides, IMO is very proud of Nigeria's initiative in this regards.
"The agency has also come up with more ways of dealing with the problem. We recognise that every drop of crude oil that comes from any oil well has its own DNA. Therefore, the oil that comes from each oil well is different from the one that comes from another.
"We have also asked the US to help us to ensure that before they procure oil from any buyer, they should first confirm the DNA certificate of each oil supply from the suppliers. There is usually a certificate of signature which must tally with the Bill of Lading that the oil is from a genuine supplier.
"With time, and by the time this measure is fully keyed into, you may no longer be able sell oil anywhere outside the country or to sell any refined petroleum products in the country, without an authenticating paper. The idea here is to be able to also go after both the buyers and the suppliers too. We believe that the most effective way to curb the menace is to go after both the buyers and the suppliers", he added.
Piracy Attacks
It would be recalled that before this present initiative, there has been no fewer than 124 reported incidents of distress alerts, some of which were false alerts in respect of piracy or armed robbery attacks against ships in Nigerian waters between March 1 and September 2011.
These ranged from the attacks on the Safina 11, some 16 nautical miles from the Fairway Buoy, and Tug Zarranda of March 4, to that of September 10 at Forcados, during which an ORC Fishing vessel was attacked.
Already, there were strong indications that government's efforts may have also begun to yield tangible fruits in the area of Search and Rescue (SAR) of vessels and crew in distressed conditions, especially with the most recent incident being the MT Jacksonville, which was engulfed by fire after an explosion from its engine room.
Available records showed that though five persons were reportedly lost, out of which four bodies were immediately recovered, the timely intervention of the country led to the successful rescuing of 10 helpless sea farers. They were taken to hospital for medical treatment.
In the same vein, two men who went to deliver consumables to a vessel, five nautical miles before the Fairway Buoy last month would have perished, but for the agency's intervention.
A freight forwarder however lamented that most Nigerians were ignorant of the right numbers to call for marine rescue in times of emergency. He stressed the need for every Nigerian to memorise the telephone numbers. These are 01-7306618, and 08030685167.
He noted that it was for this reason that a politician and chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos State drowned in Lagos waters, near Marina recently.
Deputy Director and NIMASA Head of Public Relations, Hajia Lami Tumaka, maintained that issues of sufficient enlightenment and awareness among the citizenry were imperative so that they know what to do whenever there is distress in the waterways.
She explained that the moves by the management of the agency, which were ongoing, would be sustained so that the steps taken to tackle the menace of sea piracy and robbery at sea in the months ahead would achieve the desired results.
She called for the support and co-operation of all stakeholders to ensure the success of the initiative driven the present management of the agency.
Not a few have opined that the current efforts to curtail the activities of sea piracy and robbery in Nigeria's waterways would make more impact if all hands are on deck to tackle the menace.
Those who spoke to THISDAY contended that if Nigeria and the Republic of Benin make a success of the collaboration to tackle the challenges posed by the activities of sea pirates and robbery in the waterways, other countries in the West and Central Africa sub-regions would not hesitate to toe the same line.
According to them, the idea of sea pirates launching an attack in one country and escaping to a neighbouring country would be a thing of the past.
However, only time would tell if the initiative would be sustained in the years ahead, as vested political and economic interests may be allowed to dictate the action or inaction of the parties involved in the joint patrol against sea piracy and robbery at sea.

Hy everyone, I've successfully installed clojure-mode, slime, slime-repl within Emacs. I start a swank server with "lein swank" and hang slime to it with "slime-connect". I can use the SLIME REPL to evaluating Clojure expression within the REPL. How can I eval a single s-exp or a whole file (a.k.a I want to run a Clojure file withing Emacs and see the output in a dedicated frame or in the repl) showing the answer in the SLIME REPL?
For example I define a simple binding in a .clj file within my project directory:
(def my-bind [1 2 3])
Now I want SLIME to eval this expression in the repl, so if in the repl I write:
(first my-bind)
I want to obtain 1. How can I do?
Thanks A.

Democrats to Hold 2012 Party Convention in Charlotte
Feb. 1 (Bloomberg) -- The Democratic National Committee today announced it will hold its 2012 presidential convention in Charlotte, North Carolina.
The convention will begin Sept. 3, party Chairman Tim Kaine said in an e-mail to committee members. Charlotte was chosen over St. Louis, Minneapolis and Cleveland. In 2008, Democrats held their convention in Denver.
North Carolina's demographics reflect the coalition that comprised President Barack Obama's 2008 victory, with large populations of young, black and educated voters.
"More than anything else, we want this to be a grassroots convention for the people," first lady Michelle Obama said in an e-mail to supporters released by the Democratic Party. "We will make sure everyone feels closely tied in to what is happening in Charlotte. This will be a different convention, for a different time."
The Republicans will hold their convention the previous week in Tampa, Florida.

Paul Allaire
Paul Arthur Allaire (born July 21, 1938) is a businessman who served as CEO and Chairman of Xerox Corporation, and as a director on several other public companies.
Allaire graduated from Worcester Polytechnic Institute in 1960 with a Bachelor of Science degree in electrical engineering, where he was a brother of Phi Kappa Theta. He earned a Master of Science degree in industrial administration from Carnegie Mellon University. He is now a trustee of both Worcester Polytechnic Institute and Carnegie Mellon University.[1]
He was first hired by Xerox in 1966.[2]
Allaire was named CEO in 1990, succeeding David T. Kearns who retired at the mandatory age limit of 60.[3] Allaire was elected as the company's chairman on May 29, 1991, after Kearns accepted an appointement as Secretary of Education in the administration of President George H. W. Bush. Allaire transformed the office of the president into a newly formed corporate office, with four executives dividing the responsibilities that usually fall under the president and chief operating officer. The group shared operational responsibilities for Xerox's nine worldwide business units and three worldwide geographic customer operations units. One of these four key officials was A. Barry Rand, executive vice president of operations, and one of the highest-ranking African-Americans in business at the time.[4]
When Allaire became CEO, Xerox had billions of dollars in insurance liabilities, so he methodically disentangled the company from property and casualty insurance and other financial-services businesses. Allaire also rolled out cost-cutting and new product technology introductions, including the first digital copier-Document Center. In 1994, Allaire rebranded Xerox as "The Document Company" to signal its ambition to move far beyond copiers, as the growth of desktop computing stimulated huge increases in the number of documents being created.[5] Under Allaire's "Leadership through Quality" program, Xerox was the first U.S. company to won back lost market share from the Japanese.[6]
In 1997, Allaire hired G. Richard "Rick" Thoman from IBM as Xerox President and COO which positioned Thoman as the eventual successor, and this news caused the company shares to rise $2 (2.9%) to $71.75 on the New York Stock Exchange, after earlier touching a record $73.25.[7] A protégé of Lou Gerstner, Thoman was serving as Senior Vice President and CFO of IBM, and before that as Senior Vice President and general manager of IBM's Personal Systems Group which he led a successful turnaround.[3][8] In April 1999 at the company annual meeting, Allaire was succeeded as CEO by Thoman but remained chairman of the board; Allaire had intended to retire but the board convinced him to stay on since Thoman was an outsider. As a nod to CFO Barry D. Romeril and William F. Buehler, who were Allaire loyalists that were ending up passed over in the succession planning, Allaire requested that they be given seats on the board as vice-chairman.[3][9]
Allaire and Thoman both shared the vision that Xerox needed to reinvent itself to succeed in the Digital Age, and Thoman's record of working with Gerstner in IBM's turnaround made him the ideal person to lead the transformation. However, it has been reported that many of Xerox's senior executives including Romeril and Buehler remained loyal to Allaire and viewed Thoman as an outsider. These undercut Thoman's authority as CEO, as he was only able to make a few senior management changes,[10] and the entrenched bureaucracy as Xerox (nicknamed "Burox") provided passive resistance to Thoman's initiatives. This in turn may have contributed to several botched reorganizations under his tenure.[9]
After Thoman was fired in 2000, Allaire was once again appointed CEO, and he promoted Anne M. Mulcahy to President and COO.[9][11] Allaire retired as CEO on August 1, 2001, being succeeded by Mulcahy.[12] Allaire remained chairman of the board until the end of 2001.
After leaving Xerox, Allaire became the chairman of GlaxoSmithKline's remuneration committee where he remained until his retirement in 2003, which was forced as part of a settlement with the SEC.[13] He is also a former member of the Steering Committee of the Bilderberg Group.[14]
Allaire, Thoman, Romecil, and three other senior Xerox executives paid the SEC $22 million to settle accusations by securities regulators that they participated in a large accounting fraud that allowed the company to overstate its profits by $1.4 billion from 1997 to 2000. As the "Xerox six" were not found guilty of wrongdoing, Xerox said that it would reimburse the executives for all but $3 million of the $22 million and cover their legal fees. The $3 million was classified as a fine by the SEC and cannot be reimbursed under its rules.[15]

Zipadee-Zip Keeps Baby Sleeping Through The Swaddle Transitionby Amber Leventry
If you have a baby who slept through the night at a very early age, napped well, and didn't throw a fit the moment you left the room, congratulations, you gave birth to a unicorn.

Spiro Bouncer Is A Teeter Totter That Spins And Bouncesby Amber Leventry

Over the past nearly 30 years, I have written articles about everything from flowers to horses. Since Christmas is this week, permit me to set aside my 'normal' article and reflect on this special time of year.
This winter has started out as being long and cold. With cold weather, we often see what is called frost. Frost is something we see, talk about, and even predict, but do we really understand it.
Naming schools is an interesting thing.
It's hard to believe another year has passed and Christmas will soon be here.
People magazine, the arbiter of all things sexy, has declared Ryan Reynolds as the "Sexiest Man Alive" in a recent issue.
During this Thanksgiving season I believe everyone should be thankful for the hard work of the American farmer. Give thanks to the American farmer for growing most of the food we eat and many of the clothes we wear.
When it comes to being thankful, my basket of gratitude is pretty near full.
There is an interesting fascination with the idea of getting something free.
November can be a lull or lively time in the garden.
My dad was a man who never talked much about his service in the Army. In his sock drawer were a couple of medals I didn't appreciate until I was grown.
After the recent rains, you may have noticed an increase in the number of fire ant mounds in your lawn. The reason for increased fire ant activities is simple; fire ants like to work in warm soil that is not super hard and compact. For a few days after rain, even heavy clay soil is "soft" and much easier for fire ants to build mounds.
The feel of fall is in the air and some trees are showing off outstanding colors.
About the time I conquered use of the 12-inch ruler, a teacher one day produced a stick that was slightly larger than a yardstick and told us that one day we would measure everything in meters and centimeters.
Fall is a time when most plants go dormant and a good time for the homeowner to help protect plants from the cold days ahead.
Just as with any occupation, the work week of a journalist has its ups and downs.

Parenting is hard work. You always feel like you are messing up and someone - usually a person who doesn't know the difference between a zygote and a pygmy goat - is always full of advice and criticism as to the quality of job you are doing.
