Last night,when half the world was asleep, I lay on my bed, and thought about my life from start to finish. I do that when I need to examine my choices and see how far I've come and the mistakes I've made.
Well, my mind dwelt on my first love and I wondered how time flies. It's been purported that your first love is your true love and that they can never be two true loves. What do we call a first love? The first person who you fell in love with while in your teens ,and barely able to make decisions for yourself?
When he graduated and went back to Ibadan, he wrote a letter to me, telling me how much he loved me and promising to come back for me. I cried my eyes out for months, and had that letter under my pillow for two years. Until my beloved dad tore it up(thank God)
My first love was just a stepping stone into the real world of love and relationships. Sometimes, your first love never comes till you're old and grey; some never find it at all. And some do find it in their first love experience. As for me, I think I'm still waiting to be blown away by my "first love".maybe not..

Campbell to leave frontline
Alastair Campbell, the prime minister's official spokesman, is to step back into the shadows to take a backroom role if Labour wins the general election, it has emerged.
Increasing political and domestic pressures are said to be behind the decision to create a new job for him as the prime minister's director of communications.
Downing Street is refusing to comment on what it describes as "speculation".
Mr Campbell's proposed new role would involve developing strategy over the longer term and would take him away from high-profile daily clashes with political correspondents.
'Run by spin'
The chief press secretary's decision comes after fears within the Labour Party that his high public profile is deflecting attention away from other issues.
A report in the Independent newspaper quotes an unnamed minister who says Mr Campbell's work as press secretary has led to accusations that the government is "run by spin, instead of using spin".
Mr Campbell is also believed to want a less hectic schedule to allow him to spend more time with his family.
The BBC's political editor Andrew Marr said: "He has considered quitting Number 10 entirely on several occasions but he appears to have decided to stay with Mr Blair for as long as the Prime Minister wants him - which would be for a long time yet."
A Downing Street spokesman said: "We are not going to comment on speculation about events which may or may not happen after an election, whenever that may be."
And the Labour Party said: "We are not going to comment on any speculation about what people may or may not be doing after the election."
Media attention led to Mr Campbell withdrawing from daily press briefings last year, although he has now resumed them and appears in the lobby about three times a week.
Much of the interest in his role has been blamed on a fly-on-the-wall television documentary about his job as press secretary last year.

Wide receiver Justin Brown spoke with the media for the first time since transferring from Penn State. Brown flew in to Norman on Monday night, and was on the practice field Tuesday. Even though he wasn't in pads with the rest of the team, Bob Stoops praised Brown effusively.
"He looked very impressive," Stoops said. "I said to (wide receivers coach Jay) Norvell, 'Wow, he going to be special here.' "
Stoops also said that Brown "absolutely" would return punts this season, and called him one of the top 10 punt returners in the country in 2011.
Brown said it was "difficult" to leave his teammates at Penn State, but he's excited to be at a tradition-rich school like OU with a quarterback who can sling the ball like Landry Jones. You could tell that Brown is fired up to play with a QB with Jones' arm.
Per NCAA rules, Brown will be in shorts and shirts again tomorrow, then will be able to put on the pads.
More on Brown later.
• LB coach Tim Kish said that Tom Wort is less than 100 percent – not a good sign considering the Sooners have been in pads only a couple of days. Wort is battling an array of injuries, including to his back, shoulder and ankle – all injuries that Wort has dealt with in the past. Kish said he's giving Jaydan Bird equal reps to try and keep Wort as fresh as possible.
Wort has been terrific when he has been healthy. He dominated the game against Florida State last season. But too often, Wort hasn't been 100 percent. It's looking like he might have to play hurt this season.
Right now, Kish is working Wort, Bird, Frank Shannon and Caleb Gastulem at middle linebacker, and Corey Nelson, Joe Iblioye, Aaron Franklin and true freshman Erik Striker at outside linebacker. Kish said that Striker would not be redshirting this season, and could play a lot of special teams. "He's tough, physical," Kish said.
• Bobby Jack Wright noted that seniors David King and R.J. Washington are having "a heck of a camp" so far. "I'm really pleased with them," Wright said. But most of today's discussion dealt with the younger players.
Wright said that Chuka Ndulue "has separated himself" as the clear No. 3 defensive end behind starters Washington and King. Ndulue came on late in the season last year and clearly applied himself in the offseason. He's relatively new to football but the Sooners feel really good about his upside and he seems to be starting to realize some of that potential.
Wright also said he wants to play true freshmen Charles Tapper and Mike Onuoha. In talking with Wright, Washington and others, those two are among the most talented players at the position. Even more impressive for Tapper, he didn't even work out with the Sooners over the summer. Clearly, both guys have talent, so it will be the little things that decide if they play themselves out of a redshirt season. Either way, the future is bright at defensive end.
Wright also had glowing things to say about P.L. Lindley and Rashod Favors, who have moved to end from linebacker. He said the move had to do with their speed -- it's average for linebackers but excellent for defensive ends. He likes what they bring to the table.
It's pretty clear that Lindley, Favors and junior-college transfer Chaz Nelson are battling to be the Sooners No. 4 defensive end, but Tapper and Onuoha have the ability to make a run. The overall depth at the position is looking pretty good right now. Especially for a team replacing two NFL draft picks.
• Aaron Colvin is pumped about his return to cornerback. It's the position he prefers to play and he said it feels more natural at that spot. He did note that he will do whatever is asked. In other words, he's not digging his heels in about remaining at the position. But he wants to be a corner. Said he wishes his teammates still referred to "Colvin Island," which they termed when Colvin played the position as a freshman. He wants the one-on-one challenge.
Colvin is a difference maker at any position he plays. Don't be surprised if he joins Demontre Hurst to battle Oklahoma State's Justin Gilbert and Brodrick Brown and Texas' Carrington Byndom and Quandre Diggs for the right to be called the Big 12's top cornerback duo. This is a great year in the Big 12 for corners.
• Colvin, like pretty much every other Sooner who has been asked, had glowing things to say about Sterling Shepard. "He's the real deal," Colvin said.
Each day it gets clearer and clearer that Shepard will play and play a lot this season. Everyone thinks he is a playmaker.
Another true freshman, cornerback Gary Simon, is making ways already. "Gary Simon has a chance to be tremendous," defensive coordinator Mike Stoops said. "He's everything we thought he would be."
• The battle for the fourth defensive tackle spot behind Jamarkus McFarland, Stacy McGee and Casey Walker is still up for grabs, Mike Stoops said. Stoops seemed to indicate that Jordan Phillips and Marquis Anderson are still battling for that role.
• Daniel Franklin has replaced James Winchester as the deep snapper on punts. Franklin has been practicing with a medicine ball shaped like a football.
Special teams could finally be a strength for the Sooners. Punter Tress Way, who has garnered some preseason all-Big 12 attention, said placekicker Michael Hunnicutt has been "killing" the ball on field goals. So has kickoff specialist Patrick O'Hara, who has rejoined the team this fall after going home in the spring. Throw in Justin Brown on returns and look out.
"This team could be really special," Way said. "Special teams could really help that out."
• According to a couple of teammates, linebacker Corey Nelson had the hit of the day during the Oklahoma Drill. But it didn't seem like there were a lot of big hits. At least not of the Ronnell Lewis-on-Roy Finch variety.

Do Philadelphia 76ers Need to Draft a Shooting Guard This Offseason?February 9, 2014
The Philadelphia 76ers have spent the last couple of years struggling to find an NBA shooting guard who's both reliable and productive. So do they try to draft a shooting guard this offseason or use their picks to select the best available player?
Michael Carter-Williams and Nerlens Noel are the future and locked into their respective point guard and center roles. We know that Carter-Williams is already on pace to become one of the league's top young point guards, but Noel is a bit of a mystery. Still. though, if he stays healthy and develops in a consistent manner, then he has the potential to be a special player as well.
Everything else is up in the air from there.
Nobody knows about the future of Evan Turner and Thaddeus Young, but if they ended up on Philadelphia's 2014-15 roster, the Sixers would also have their starting small and power forward of the future.
This leaves the shooting guard position, and it's one that Philadelphia has struggled to fill since Allen Iverson was traded during the 2006-07 season. Yes, it's been that long. In fact, here's a look at how the starting Sixers shooting guards have done since The Answer was moved:
|Starting Shooting Guard
|Points Per Game
|Rebounds Per Game
|Assists Per Game
|Willie Green
|Willie Green
|Willie Green
|Louis Williams
|Jodie Meeks
|Jodie Meeks
|Jason Richardson
|James Anderson
If Philly wants to end its bad run of shooting guards, then the 2014 draft is the perfect time to make it happen. The Sixers will get their own first-round pick, depending on where they end up, on top of the New Orleans Pelicans' first-round selection—as long as it's not a top-five pick.
There's an excellent chance that both will be in the lottery.
The fact that Philadelphia could get two high choices means that it'll be able to use one on the best player available and one to target a shooting guard it likes. If they only had one, then we might be talking about being smart and strictly settling on the best available guy. Fortunately, having two gives them a bit of freedom as to which player they can draft and what direction they want to go in.
Making the decision to draft a shooting guard is step one. Deciding on the player to take is step two.
Here's a look at some of the best shooting guard prospects in the upcoming NBA draft and what they'd bring to the floor.
Dante Exum, Australia
We can skip the small talk and start here like this: Dante Exum is the real deal.
You have to be very careful about comparing young—especially foreign—players to some of the best NBA players of all time, but it's hard to watch Exum play and not think that he has some Kobe Bryant in his game.
Don't believe me? Take a look at some of what he can do for yourself:
Most mock drafts have him listed as a point guard, but at 6'6", he could be a perfect combo guard. He's the kind of guy who can receive an outlet pass and get into the offense, or he may be able to be one of the primary scoring options if Carter-Williams brings the ball up the floor.
Speaking of Carter-Williams, drafting Exum would give the Sixers' starting backcourt two 6'6" players who could potentially be matchup nightmares for opposing teams.
It's hard to get an absolute read on Exum since he has been playing his basketball in Australia. Still, at only 18 years old, it's difficult to not be impressed by what he does on film. If his game translates to the NBA, then the Sixers would be set for years to come at both point and shooting guard.
NBA Comparison: Kobe Bryant/Anfernee Hardaway
Selection Range: Lottery, Pick No. 2-6
Gary Harris, Michigan State
Two of the most important skills for NBA guards to have are the ability to play off the dribble and to get off a clean floater.
Gary Harris possesses both of these.
Harris is a bit undersized at only 6'4" but manages to use his height to his advantage by combining his athleticism with his decision-making. A perfect example is how he's able to attack the paint and finish with either hand at the basket or over the big with a teardrop floater. His highlights against the University of Kentucky show what he's really capable of.
He's one of those guys who won't necessarily wow you at first glance, but watch him long enough and you'll start to see how he could turn into a legitimate NBA shooting guard.
The knock on Harris is that his ceiling is still unknown. Don't be surprised if that ceiling ends up being closer to the sky than the floor, though.
NBA Comparison: Dwyane Wade
Selection Range: Lottery, Pick No. 8-13
Zach LaVine, UCLA
If the Sixers want to take a shot with a high-risk, high-reward player, then UCLA's Zach LaVine would certainly be the right pick.
The interesting part about LaVine is that his game might be better suited for the NBA than college. The collegiate game is system-based and much less about isolation play, whereas in the NBA, teams often look to get players in their best spots and let them operate.
LaVine is much more of an operator. He's obviously an amazing athlete, but it's his shooting that will dictate what kind of NBA player he becomes. One of his best attributes is how he can score off the dribble to both the left and right. Some young players get caught up with picking a dominant side and going there more often, but he is equally talented at going either way.
LaVine will likely be selected in the 10-14 range of the first round, so he could be of value if that's where the Sixers' second first-round pick ends up being.
NBA Comparison: Terrence Ross
Selection Range: Lottery, Pick No. 10-14
C.J. Wilcox, Washington
Everybody knows about Philadelphia likely ending the season with one of the NBA's worst records and having the Pelicans' top-five protected first-round draft pick. What some don't know about is how the Sixers also have three second-round picks.
If Philly decided to go with the best available players with its first-round draft picks and still needed a shooting guard, then C.J. Wilcox would be a great value pick early in the second round.
Here's what Chad Ford had to say about Wilcox in a mock draft for ESPN Insider (subscription required):
Wilcox is another player who will get drafted primarily because when he gets his 3-point jumper falling, there aren't many better shooters in the country. If he were two years younger, he'd be in the conversation for the lottery.
If Wilcox continues to impress throughout the rest of the season, then there's definitely a chance that he could sneak into the end of the first round. If not, then he won't be around for long in the second.
Philadelphia could use Wilcox off the bench as a shooter in the mold of Jodie Meeks.
He likely won't be a stud at the next level, but he could be a guy who occasionally changes a game with his shooting ability.
NBA Comparison: Jodie Meeks
Selection Range: Late First/Early Second Round, Pick No. 27-35

Firms backed for deepwater drilling
The US government is to allow 13 companies to resume deepwater drilling without any additional environmental scrutiny just months after saying it would require strict reviews in the wake of the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
The Obama administration said it was not breaking its promise to require environmental reviews because the 13 companies - which include Chevron USA and Shell Offshore - had already started drilling the wells without detailed environmental studies.
Drilling was suspended last year when a moratorium was imposed following the BP spill. The ban was lifted in October but drilling has not yet resumed in waters deeper than 500ft in the Gulf of Mexico.
US officials said the 13 companies must comply with new policies and rules before resuming activity at 16 Gulf of Mexico wells. All but three are exploratory wells - the same type BP was drilling when the blowout of the Deepwater Horizon rig occurred. The April 20 explosion killed 11 workers and set off the worst offshore oil spill in US history.
Michael Bromwich, director of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement, said: ""For those companies that were in the midst of operations at the time of the deepwater suspensions (last spring), this notification is a significant step toward resuming their permitted activity."
Mr Bromwich stressed the move was not a reversal of its previous plans not to grant waivers known as categorical exclusions for deepwater projects. Instead, officials claimed the action as a sort of grandfather clause that applies only to companies that had already begun drilling before the BP blowout.
But William Snape, senior counsel for the Centre for Biological Diversity, an environmental group, called the announcement "another sad chapter in agency denial that anything is wrong".
He said Mr Bromwich and his boss, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, seem to want dangerous oil and gas drilling to go on in the Gulf and Alaska "without any meaningful public scientific review of the risks learned from the BP disaster."
Government officials have been under pressure from the oil industry, Gulf state leaders and congressional Republicans to speed up drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, which has come to a near halt since the moratorium on deepwater drilling was imposed last spring.
A federal report said the moratorium probably caused a temporary loss of 8,000 to 12,000 jobs in the Gulf region.

Eddie reveals memories of the massacre at Greysteel
Flamboyant stand-up comic Eddie Izzard has revealed how he travelled alone to Co Londonderry to perform just days after the Greysteel massacre.
Flamboyant stand-up comic Eddie Izzard has revealed how he travelled alone to Co Londonderry to perform just days after the Greysteel massacre.
The transvestite comedian told how his tour manager refused to accompany him on the trip as he felt it was too dangerous. So Izzard made his way to Derry on his own, where he staged three shows.
The comic and actor made the revelations in an interview with U2 frontman Bono this week, in the special "Red" edition of the Independent.
Izzard was talking about his childhood in Northern Ireland when he suddenly asked Bono if he remembered the "Trick or Treat" killings in Greysteel at Halloween 1993.
When Bono replied that he did and it was "disgusting", Izzard told him: "I was touring Ireland at the time and my tour manager said that we were not going up there. But I said it would be fine.
"He said there could be shooting and they'll target English people, but I said they were not going to target English people, that they were fighting themselves, they didn't care about us performing idiots.
"They wouldn't go, so I drove up on my own and played three nights."
Izzard also talked about his three years living in Bangor and how he was never aware of the Troubles.
He said his memories were of his early school days at Ballyholme Primary School and playing in a gang.
"I didn't know about politics at the time, but it was a very Protestant town. I was oblivious to all that. I just had fun," he added.
"My mum was alive, we had bicycles and we threw mud balls at passing cars. It was great. So I have very fond feelings for Northern Ireland."

Cody Green casually exchanged post-game greetings with several Baylor players then joined a group praying at midfield.
He then strolled toward the tunnel and acknowledged a few of his newest fans from Nebraska, looking like an experienced veteran instead of an 18-year-old freshman who led the Cornhuskers to crucial conference victory.
Green guided Nebraska to points on its opening three drives in his first career start while Jared Crick paced the defense with a school-record five sacks as the Huskers ended a two-game losing streak, beating Baylor 20-10 Saturday.
"I was really comfortable," Green said. "Coach (offensive coordinator Shawn) Watson set up a really great game plan for me to go out there and pretty much show off what I have."
Playing in front of about 50 family and friends, Green was 12 of 21 for 128 yards passing and rushed for 43 yards as the Huskers (5-3, 2-2 Big 12) jumped out to a 20-0 lead.
It had been a different story the past two weeks for the beleaguered Nebraska offense.
The Huskers had scored just 17 combined points in recent home losses to Texas Tech and Iowa State, and they matched a school record with eight turnovers against the latter.
The former high school star from Dayton, Texas -- which is north of Houston and about 200 miles southeast of Waco -- became the first player since Tommie Frazier in 1992 to make his first start as a true freshman.
"That was a really helpful thing to know that I have friends and family out here," Green said. "I know other guys on the football team from Texas and they had a (lot) of friends and family here. It was like a homecoming for all of us."
Justin Blatchford returned a blocked punt for a touchdown and Dontrayevous Robinson added a rushing score. Crick and the defense made sure the Huskers held onto the lead and beat Baylor (3-5, 0-4) for the 10th straight time.
Baylor lost its fourth in a row and hasn't beaten Nebraska since 1956. Clifton Odom returned an interception for a touchdown in the third quarter to bring the Bears within 10.
"It couldn't have started any worse than it did," Baylor coach Art Briles said. "That isn't how you want to start a football game, especially against a team that has a pretty good defense."
Nebraska coach Bo Pelini promised personnel changes earlier this week after watching his offense sputter in consecutive lackluster performances. The biggest move came at quarterback, where junior Zac Lee had started the first seven games of the season.
"You've got to go with your gut," Pelini said. "You've got to give yourself the best opportunity to win the football game. Today, we felt that was Cody Green. He did some good things."
Green got a hand from the Huskers' special teams before he even took the field.
Eric Martin came up the middle and blocked Derek Epperson's punt on the first series of the game. Blatchford scooped up the loose ball at 25 and dove into the end zone right in front of the red-clad Nebraska contingent.
Green scrambled for 10 yards to earn a first down on third-and-5 during Nebraska's opening offensive series, which ended in Alex Henery's 45-yard field goal.
Green was 3 of 5 passing on his second drive, including a 22-yard toss to Kyler Reed that set up another Henery field goal.
Green dropped a perfect throw just over Niles Paul's shoulder for 45 yards, giving the Huskers the ball at the Baylor 1. Robinson scored two plays later, extending Nebraska's lead to 20-0 with 9:28 left in the first half.
Nebraska had 273 yards of offense, 30 fewer than what it averages in conference play. The Huskers, though, capitalized on their opportunities, something they didn't do when they turned the ball over four times inside the 5 last week.
Ben Parks kicked a 41-yard field goal to cap the Bears' first possession after halftime, then Green made his biggest mistake of the game.
Odom stepped in front of Khiry Cooper and intercepted Green's pass, returning it for a touchdown with 3:27 left in the third.
The Bears drove inside the Nebraska 20 twice in the fourth quarter but came away with no points. Parks missed a 24-yard field goal and turned the ball over on downs as Baylor failed to cut into Nebraska's lead.
Nebraska's defense constantly badgered quarterback Nick Florence, who started the season third on the depth chart before he was forced into action because of injuries.
Florence, 19 of 38 for 222 yards, was intercepted twice and sacked seven times. David Gettis caught seven passes for 124 yards.
Crick broke Mike Rucker's school record for sacks. Rucker had four against Texas Tech in 1996.
"It was a big day for all of us up front and the defense as a whole," Crick said. "I really can't take any credit. It's just guys up front doing work."

Situated 25 miles (40km) southwest of Malaga, the few miles of coast between Marbella and Puerto Banus is Spain's answer to Monte Carlo. Spain's elite, and Britain's more successful felons, have flashy holiday homes in the surrounding hills, and swanky yachts in the marina. Marbella is the Costa del Sol's best quality holiday resort - the restaurants and bars are more stylish (and expensive) and the town has been spared the worst excesses of concrete development that have blighted neighbours such as Torremolinos.
The old town of Marbella is hidden away and retains some of its medieval charm, and has some good clothes shops and restaurants. The more exclusive Puerto Banus, six miles (10km) to the west, is where you will find the casino and the seriously large yachts. Those holiday visitors who drive just a few miles inland, to the villages in the hills around Ronda, will discover a Spain completely untouched by tourism with village markets and tapas bars to be explored.
There is a casino, mega-bowling hall and go-kart track close to town, while the Crocodile Park and Fuengirola Zoo are a short drive away. Local flamenco shows are also fun.
Eating out in Marbella tends to be pricey although there are plenty of good value fish and chips venues around the sea-front promenade. Beach bars offer good pub grub and excellent views at sunset. Tapas is always a good bet, as is the local fish, particularly in paella. Avoid eating the widely touted Chanquetes - tiny, deep-fried baby fish - which are endangered.
Marbella's best bars are Ana Marias, La Notte Piano Bar and Stones Music Bar. Clubs worth trying while on holiday in Marbella are the legendary Nikki Beach, long-standing favourite Dreamers Disco, Suite del Mar and Olivia Valere. Dress codes are the norm in Marbella, and entrance fees often higher than those of Madrid and Barcelona. The Golden Mile in Marbella is the place to be seen and tourists in Marbella should expect to rub shoulders with the rich and famous including many well-known celebrities and even members of the Saudi royal family.
The best shopping is at the markets, which are a focal point of local life. Marbella has a good Monday market at Recinto Ferial de Arroyo Primero, and an antiques market on Fridays in the old town. Good buys in Marbella include Moorish pottery, copies of designer clothing, and Andalucian crafts such as shirts and leather shoes. Tourists should expect to bargain hard on all items from fresh produce to Spanish tourist souvenirs and clothing.
Marbella can be expensive when compared to smaller towns on the coast; it has also grown into a busy and modern place, with little of the old world charm that attracted many visitors here twenty years ago.

Remote Control Nanomotor
Like their normally sized analogues, nanoscale machines and robots need motors to function. Some time ago, a team at Pennsylvania State University developed a clever engine to "drive" nanoscopic metal rods; however, until now, these tiny "submarines" roamed at random through the solution. Now the research team headed by Ayusman Sen has made more progress: their "sequel" can be steered by remote control.
How do these steerable nanoscopic submarines work? First, it is important that the nanorods be made of "stripes" of different metals: one end of gold, followed by a very narrow band of nickel, a band of gold, another very narrow band of nickel, and the other end of platinum. The platinum end is responsible for the propulsion because it is here that the "fuel" is converted. The fuel in question is hydrogen peroxide that is present in the solution. It is catalytically converted by the platinum, producing oxygen, which also dissolves in the solution.
Having a high oxygen concentration, the solution surrounding the platinum end is less polar than the solution surrounding the other end of the nanorod. The surface tension between the solution and the metal surface is thus no longer equal at both ends of the rods and the rod is pulled inescapably in the direction of the oxygen-containing region of the solution. Because oxygen is constantly being formed, the gradient is maintained and the rod moves through the solution with its platinum end in front. The orientation of the nanorods in the solution is random; the overall motion is thus undirected.
This is where the "remote control"-an external magnetic field-comes in. The "receiving antennas" are the previously magnetized nickel bands in the nanorods. The crucial trick here is that the width of the bands must be smaller than their diameter, so that the nanorods can be magnetized crosswise, rather than along their long axis. When the magnetic field is switched on, the nanorods line up at right angles to its field lines and maintain this orientation as they zip around under hydrogen peroxide power. By changing the direction of the magnetic field, the researchers can vary the orientation of the nanorods-and thus the direction of their movement-at will. The nanorods are steerable.
"In principle, we should also be able to couple our nanorod motors to other nano-objects in order to drive them," says Sen. "This opens up new possibilities for a whole new class of micro- and nanomachines." The dimensions and magnetic properties of the nanorods are comparable to magnetotactic bacteria, which are oriented and steered by the magnetic field of the earth. Sen: "Thus, our nanorods are functional models for such organisms."

Before the Second World War, two international conventions regulated the aerial navigation: the Paris Convention of 1919 whose permanent body was the International Commission for Air Navigation (ICAN), and the Havana Convention of 1928 without permanent office. At that time, there were approximately fifty sovereign states in the world. The ICAN gathered 33 of these States, whereas the Havana Convention had been ratified by 11 States.
The rapid growth of international air transport between the two World Wars clearly demonstrated the possibilities of civilian air transport. The advent of World War II, while interrupting civilian flying, did not stop international civil aviation. It is needless to say that the aviation made during World War II not only resulted in horror and human tragedies but that its utilization also significantly advanced the technical and operational possibilities of air transport in a world which had finally found peace again. In fact, for the first time, large numbers of people and goods had been transported over long distances and ground facilities had been developed to permit this in an orderly and expeditious manner.
In Canada, the control of civil aviation was given to the new Department of Transport under C.D. Howe in 1936. Howe saw how Canada could play a significant role in any international aeronautical organization. In addition to its strategic location for flights between North America and Europe, Canada provided an immense aviation industry with an internationally recognized expertise in aviation. This led Canada later to act as a mediator at the Chicago Conference in 1944.
By the spring of 1942, more than two years before the end of war, it was apparent that civil air transport would play a large and important role in international relations; serious discussions of political and diplomatic arrangements for international civil aviation had begun mainly in Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States. At the Anglo-American Conference held in Quebec City from 10 to 24 August 1943 (the First Quebec Conference, which took place at the Citadelle and the Château Frontenac), Roosevelt and Churchill discussed post-war aviation policy and were planning for a United Nations type of organization to handle some aspects of international civil aviation. The Prime Minister of Canada, William Lyon Mackenzie King, hosted this wartime conference. Meanwhile, as the year 1944 progressed and as the war took a turn for the better, it became even more apparent that the time was rapidly approaching when some nations would want to initiate new international air services on a regular commercial basis.
One of the Quebec City's best-known and historic landmarks is the Château Frontenac. Architect Bruce Price designed the grand hotel for the Canadian Pacific Railway Company. It opened in 1893 as a luxury hotel, named for Louis de Buade, Count of Frontenac and Governor of New France in the later part of the 17th century. The Château Frontenac, one of Quebec City's most popular tourist attractions, overlooks the St. Lawrence River with a spectacular view that extends for several kilometres. Seen from across the river, the hotel is Quebec City's most prominent feature in the skyline. Indeed, the building has become a symbol of the city.
Chicago – Postcard showing the Stevens Hotel
On 11 September 1944, the United States extended an invitation to fifty-three governments and two Ministers in Washington in their personal capacities (Danish and Thai) for an international civil aviation conference to be convened in the United States on 1 November 1944 to "make arrangements for the immediate establishment of provisional world air routes and services" and "to set up an interim council to collect, record and study data concerning international aviation and to make recommendations for its improvement." The Conference was also invited to "discuss the principles and methods to be followed in the adoption of a new aviation convention". As the Dumbarton Oaks conversations (from 21 August to 7 October 1944), the first concrete steps towards an international organization for the maintenance of peace and security, were a Washington conference, President Roosevelt requested Adolf A. Berle, Jr., Assistant Secretary of State, Head of the US delegation to the conference, to find another site for the aviation conference. On 7 October 1944, the Department of State announced the selection of the Stevens Hotel in Chicago, Illinois, as the site for the International Civil Aviation Conference. The city of Chicago was suggested to bring an international conference to the isolated Midwest.
Commonwealth civil aviation discussions were held in Montreal at the Windsor Hotel from 22 to 27 October 1944 in preparation of the Chicago Conference. Immediately following this Conference and before the Commonwealth representatives would return home, the same hotel would become the host of a two-day Commonwealth meeting on 9 and 10 December 1944.
Out of the 53 invited states, only two did not accept: Saudi Arabia, and the USSR which refused to participate due to objections against the presence at the Conference of some other states (Spain, Switzerland and Portugal). Opened on 1 November 1944, the Chicago Conference, as it came to be known, was eventually attended by fifty-two nations (including USA) together with two observer nations, without the privilege of voting, Denmark and Thailand; the occupied Denmark and Thailand were represented only by their Ministers with the rank of Ambassadors attending in their personal capacity. The Conference was attended by a total of 185 delegates, 156 advisers, experts and consultants, 45 secretaries, 105 clerks and stenographers, 306 members of the Conference secretariat and 158 press representatives, for a total of 955 persons participating directly or indirectly. This was estimated to be the largest international conference held in the United States in those years. The great percentage of military officers (i.e. 90) in the delegations was at that time the demonstrative evidence of the close relationship between military and civil aviation.
The Stevens Hotel, facing Lake Michigan near the centre of the City of Chicago, was built in the mid-1920 (at a cost over US$30 million) as the world's largest and most sumptuous hotel and designed in a modification of the style of Louis XVI; it opened on 2 May 1927. The Stevens Hotel (now the Chicago Hilton) developed by the Stevens family (James W. Stevens and his son Ernest) of the Illinois Life Insurance Company and owners of the LaSalle.
Chicago – Poster Stamp
celebrating the Antique Exposition and Hobby Fair, held at the Stevens Hotel from 13 to 18 November 1944
The Stevens occupied an entire city block on Michigan Avenue between Seventh and Eighth Streets. With 28 floors, this massive brick-and-stone edifice contained 3,000 outside guest rooms, each with private bath, a convention hall with 4,000 seats, a roof-top 18-hole golf course, 3-story laundry, an in-house hospital and 5 sub-basements. Unfortunately, the Depression of the 1930s brought with it hard times for the Stevens and the hotel company was ruled insolvent in June 1934. In 1942, the Stevens Hotel went to war and was occupied by the United States Army during World War II. The hotel reopened to the public in 1943. During the Conference, rooms were rated at $6 to $9 per day for double-occupancy bedrooms and at $4 to $7 per day for single-occupancy bedrooms.
At the time of the Conference, the Stevens Hotel was one of Chicago's grand but already aging hotels; it was not as commodious in its accommodations as had been expected by most of the participants, who described it as a mammoth second-rate hotel whose lobby was like the lobby of the Grand Central Station in New York. It would take up to one hour a day waiting for elevators and perhaps half an hour a day waiting to complete telephone calls. One reason it was chosen was that Berle anticipated at most a three-week meeting. As it turned out that the Conference lasted 37 days (instead of 25 as anticipated) and accommodations could not compensate for the intensities, fatigue and frustrations, many of the participants registered their displeasure with the hotel. However, most delegates and reporters found amusement in the hotel's bar, noting that sleep was the most-welcome recreation when sessions sometimes lasted all night. During the Conference, a large Antique Exhibition was held at the Stevens Hotel from Monday 13 to Saturday 18 November 1944. This must have entertained the participants too!
Chicago – 7 December 1944
Final plenary Session in the Grand Ballroom of the Stevens Hotel
For seven weeks, the delegates of fifty-two nations considered the problems of international civil aviation. The most important result of the conference was the drawing up of a Convention on International Civil Aviation (i.e. the Chicago Convention, the original text of which was in English, French and Spanish), the charter of a new body established to guide and develop international civil aviation.
The Executive Committee of the Conference recommended that the seat of the provisional ICAO be located in Canada, taking into consideration the war circumstances in Europe and the wish to start its work rapidly; Canada was also a logical choice as an important aviation nation and one with strong links with Europe. However, the permanent seat of the Organization would be determined at the final meeting of the Interim Assembly of the Provisional ICAO.
The Provisional International Civil Aviation Organization (PICAO) was established by the Chicago Conference, as an interim body pending the ratification of a permanent world civil aviation convention. The Canadian Government chose Montreal for locating PICAO's headquarters, as it was at that time the leading metropolis of the country, the most cosmopolitan and international city; it was also the main hub for international civil air transport.
On 7 December 1944, three years to the day after Pearl Harbor, the Conference concluded with the signature of a final act that was a formal and official record summarizing the work. Forty delegations signed on that date their adherence to the new Convention, named Chicago Convention which set out as its prime objective the development of international civil aviation "in a safe and orderly manner", such that international air transport services would be established on the basis of equality of opportunity and operated soundly and economically.
The following main instruments were contained in this final act:
Preamble to the Chicago Convention,
signed on 7 December 1944
1. The Interim Agreement on International Civil Aviation was opened for signature. Its purpose was that of a bridging mechanism to permit an early beginning of the global effort while awaiting the ratification of the Convention (see below) by the 26th State. This interim agreement was accepted by the 26th State on 6 June 1945. Thus the Provisional International Civil Aviation Organization (PICAO) was born on that date. It functioned remarkably well until the permanent organization came into force on 4 April 1947.
2. The Convention on International Civil Aviation was opened for signature and designed to provide a complete modernization of the basic public international law of the air. After ratification by twenty-six States, it came into effect on 4 April 1947 (30 days after the 26th State had ratified the Chicago Convention) with the constitution of the new permanent International Civil Aviation Organization, ICAO, thus bringing an end to PICAO.
3. The International Air Services Transit Agreement or "Two Freedom" agreement, under which the aircraft of member states may fly over each other's territory and land for non-traffic purposes, e.g. refuelling. This document was a great step forward in the path of international air transport development over a large part of the world.
4. The International Air Transport Agreement or "Five Freedom" agreement. In addition to the first two freedoms of the agreement mentioned above, three freedoms concerning commercial transport rights were enacted.
5. The Drafts of twelve Technical Annexes (numbered from A to L) cover the technical and operational aspects of international civil aviation, such as airworthiness of aircraft, air traffic control, telecommunications, etc. The conference achieved real advances in technical matters that would make international flying much safer, more reliable and more straightforward than it had been before the Second World War. From twelve Technical Annexes defined by the Conference, nineteen Annexes to the Convention are now maintained to achieve standardization through a uniform application of international standards and recommended practices.
6. A standard form of Bilateral Agreement for the exchange of air routes was prepared and recommended by the Conference as part of its final act.
Fifty-two States were represented at the Chicago Conference and 38 States signed the Convention on International Civil Aviation (Chicago Convention). It is to be noted that out of the 33 States, parties to the Paris Convention, 25 participated in the Chicago Conference; 19 of these put their signature on 7 December 1944 to the Act comprising the Final Convention; thus, the importance of ICAN's work was seen distinctly. On 7 December 1944 at the Final Plenary meeting, A. Berle closed the Conference with these words: "As a result of the work of these and many other men, when we leave this Conference we can say to our airmen throughout the world, not that they have a legal and diplomatic wrangle ahead, but that they can go out and fly their craft in peaceful service. In humbleness, we must offer thanks for the opportunity to work upon these great affairs. In giving that thanks, we must remember that these machines that fly are still guided by humans and, in that connection, we may properly be justified in recalling the words of David, King, Captain and Poet: If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost part of the sea, even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me." The International Conference on Civil Aviation adjourned at 12:02 pm.

The International Civil Aviation Conference turned out to be one of the most successful, productive and influential conferences ever held, and the Stevens Hotel in Chicago had been its host. As a result, ICAO became the sole universal institution of international public aviation rights, superseding the Paris Convention of 1919 and the Havana Convention of 1928. For the first time in the history of international aviation, an authority would facilitate the order in the air, introduce maximum standardization in technical matters to unify the methods of exploitation and settle any differences that may occur.
On 8 December 1944, the Conference was convened in plenary session to elect the States to become members of the Interim Council. Twenty of the twenty-one seats were filled (i.e. Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Columbia, Czechoslovakia, Egypt, El Salvador, France, India, Iraq, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Peru, Turkey, United Kingdom, and United States; note that Cuba had offered to relinquish its seat on the Council in favor of India). It left one seat vacant for the USSR, should it decide to adhere to the Convention. The latter country did not finally adhere to the Convention until 1970.
Fifty years later, from 30 October to 1 November 1994, an important gathering of aviation and aerospace leaders took place at Chicago in the Chicago Hilton and Towers Hotel (previously named the Stevens Hotel) to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Convention and to share views on the future of the world's aviation and aerospace business. This Conference and Exhibition attracted over 500 participants in the world civil aviation industry. L. Welch Pogue, one of the few surviving US delegates to the Chicago Conference, was among the list of speakers. The ICAO Council held, for the first time at its birthplace in Chicago, a special commemorative meeting on 1 November 1994, exactly 50 years after the opening of the Conference on International Civil Aviation and expressed gratitude to the members of the delegations from 52 states of the world community who worked together to draft and perfect the Chicago Convention.
In 2014, ICAO and the global air transport community commemorated this momentous occasion by convening a series of special events in Montréal and Chicago. Featuring high-level participation from the host governments of Canada and the United States of America, and representatives from ICAO's Council and Member States, these proceedings culminated in an Extraordinary Session of the ICAO Council on Monday 8 December 2014, in the exact same room where the Convention was signed in the Stevens Hotel (now the Chicago Hilton) 70 years ago. On this occasion, ICAO Council Representatives adopted a Special Resolution paying tribute to the Chicago Convention's significant contributions to global peace and prosperity through the safe and orderly development of international civil aviation. As air travel is scheduled to double worldwide in the next 15 years, new challenges such as the dawn of the commercial space era and the increasing use of remotely piloted aircraft point to a continued and dynamic role for ICAO and the Chicago Convention in the decades ahead, in ensuring the managed evolution of a safe and efficient airspace.

POSTED: Apr 18, 2014 7:33 PM ET
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The Oklahoma City Thunder hope dynamic point guard Russell Westbrook is the difference when they meet the Memphis Grizzlies in the playoffs.
A year ago, Memphis blew past Oklahoma City in the Western Conference semifinals, but the Thunder were without Westbrook because he injured his right knee during the first round. He is healthy now, and the Thunder are confident heading into this year's first-round series with the Grizzlies, which starts Saturday night.
Westbrook's athletic ability is especially difficult to handle because scoring champion Kevin Durant draws so much attention. It limits the options for dealing with Westbrook, a three-time All-Star.
Since returning from his latest surgery, Westbrook has averaged 22.3 points, 6.9 assists and 5.4 rebounds. Thunder coach Scott Brooks said those are all-NBA-level numbers.

What a disappointment!
By Chapeaugirl
from Chichester, Quebec
The comforter stood out and had beautiful colours online. Ordered and received, however, the zipper on the plastic packaging was half unzipped and before undoing the rest of it I felt the material and the filling of the comforter didn't come to the edge of the comforter. After taking a better look, the filling was sparse to say the least. I didn't bother opening it and taking a better look. It was poorly designed and I just imagined if it was like that as new it would never make it through one wash let alone many washesToo bad because the colours were beautiful and would add a lot to my bedroom.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Inside Abe & Arthur's and Simyone
Feast your eyes on the renderings for Eugene Remm and Mark Birnbaum's latest project, Abe and Arthur's and Simyone, that is poised to make a big splash opening during Fashion Week. Abe and Arthur's, lovingly named after the owners' grandfathers, will feature Franklin Becker's cuisine, including a sure to be delicious (and expensive) burger with Pat LaFrieda meat. The over/under for the burger's price is set at $20, and for what it's worth, we are taking the over. The downstairs will be the Simyone lounge (seen above), whose door will be tightly guarded by doorman extraordinare Aalex Juian. Just make sure you know his standards before trying to get inside. Like our LB described a few days ago, both the restaurant and nightclub are filled with light woods and stainless steel finishes, and just look at those darling bottle service tables and banquettes. Just perfect for storing bottles and mixers. Who is excited? We are excited!
All the renderings you could ever want, after the jump!

Abe and Arthur's soaring dining room. Check out that light wood!
More from the dining room. We wonder which of these tables will be reserved for Arthur Kade?

Would Jay DeMerit be ready to go after playing 90 minutes in Wednesday's MLS All-Star Game?
That was the big question for the Vancouver Whitecaps going into Friday's match with Real Salt Lake, and head coach Martin Rennie opted to gamble with his captain.
It wasn't a bet that paid off in a 2-1 loss, with DeMerit conceding a penalty for the opening goal and underhitting a backpass which led to the dismissal of goalkeeper Joe Cannon for a handball.
"I think we've taken the high road on the situation with Jay and the All-Star Game, but again that didn't help us tonight," Rennie told Vancouver radio station TEAM 1410 following the match. "Jay being 100 percent would have helped, or at least not having done what he's just done in the All-Star Game, that would have definitely helped us."
While Rennie pointed out the officiating wasn't the ultimate decider of the match, he claimed a number of decisions made things more difficult for his team. The Scotsman alleged Salt Lake were incorrectly given a throw-in which led to the penalty decision, and that Gershon Koffie was fouled in the buildup to the game-winning goal.
And according to Rennie, Vancouver's status as a relatively new MLS franchise had something to do with the way the officials were calling the game.
"Some of it is, you know, Vancouver's just a team that's up and coming," he said. "We haven't quite established ourselves yet, so when 50-50 decisions are made, they aren't going our way at the moment. But that's going to change."
DeMerit's backpass which led to Cannon's dismissal in the 76th minute meant Brad Knighton was forced to come off the bench in relief. In doing so, the backup goalkeeper made his first appearance since St. Patrick's Day, when he helped the club secure their first-ever away road win at Chivas USA by stepping in for an injured Cannon during the match.
Cannon's red card means he won't be playing again for Vancouver in their next game, a rematch with RSL on Aug. 11 at BC Place.
"It's tough but you know, you've got to prepare mentally and tell everyone to prepare the same way, as if you're going to play," Knighton told TEAM 1410. "Instances like that happen, and for the second time I've had to come in off the bench. It's just unfortunate we couldn't get something out of the game."

Because I Said So is the tool you need to help your children understand true obedience!
Journey through Scripture and learn about people who struggled with obedience in this 3-week study that includes HOW, WHEN, and WHY we should obey. Children will apply to their own lives what they see in the Word.
Teaches children to obey for the right reasons by teaching them biblical truth. Scripture references are listed allowing children to dig into the Word themselves.
The study comes in two versions. The junior version is for children ages 4-6 and the youth version is for children 6-14. Each age level studies the same topic on the same day, making it perfect for families to work together.
Extend your study further with a bonus hymn study on beloved hymn, Trust and Obey. This component includes the story behind the hymn, copywork, and deeper study.
"I ordered this study and am excited to be using it with my children (ages 10,9, and 6). After reading through it, I am impressed with how biblically solid it was. So often, I find I need to omit one thing or another that is not quite right. Not with this study! Thank you for putting it together."
