A Justice of the Federal High Court in Lagos, Muslim Hassan has ordered the permanent forfeiture of a sum of $153,310,000, said to have been diverted from the coffers of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation by a former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke.
The presiding judge Muslim Hassan who delivered the ruling on Thursday ordered that the money should be permanently forfeited to the Federal Government, saying the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had evidence that the monies were proceeds of crime.
The EFCC had said the money was taken from the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and stashed in three Nigerian banks.
Moses Awolusi, an EFCC investigator, had said two former group executive directors of finance and account at NNPC, B.O.N. Otti and Stanley Lawson, helped Alison-Madueke move the cash from NNPC.
Awolusi said out of the money, the EFCC had recovered the N23.4bn in draft and had registered it as an exhibit marked, EFCC 01.
In his ruling, the judge said: "I hereby make an order pursuant to section 17 of the advanced fee fraud and other related Offences Act 2016, for final forfeiture of the unclaimed sum of N23, 426, 300, 000.00 billion and 5 million dollars to the Federal Government finally.
"In respect of the second respondent, learned Counsel, Mr Charles Adeogun, informed the court that the second respondent filed a counter-affidavit on why the sum of N9.08 billion should not be forfeited.
"I have carefully examined the affidavit evidence before the court and I find that the second respondent was duly cautioned in English language before his statement was taken and so, I hold that same was taken without any evidence of inducement.
"On the whole, I am satisfied that all the conditions stated in Section 17 of the Advanced Fee Fraud and other Related Offences Act, was duly fulfilled by the applicant.
"I accordingly make the following orders — An order for the final forfeiture of the sum of N23, 426, 300, 000.00 billion being unclaimed property to the Federal Government of Nigeria.
"An order of final forfeiture is also made for the sum of N9.08 billion recovered from the second respondent to the Federal Government of Nigeria, this is my judgment." He said.

Windows Explorer is not responding when I try to erase DVD-rw discs
Half of the time when I try to use a RW disc more than once. In other words erase the disc to burn something new to it. Windows explorer (not responding error) is in a malfunction loop. Also during this occurrence the dvd is rendered useless for future use. These discs are new and clean with no scratches. I bought two dvd multi drives. They are identical and installed drive D: & E:. Purchased at newegg, they are sold as Liteon brand. Software identifies them as ATAPI iHAS124 B. I have thought about downloading new drivers however I have had some trouble identifying this model on Liteon's website. The other half of the time I attempt to use my DVD-RW's the event is successful. I would be grateful if someone would tell me how to remedy this situation.
Thanks, Marshall

Highly recommend updating the drivers first. What is/are the make and model number of these drives? What are the make and model numbers given on the packing slip that was enclosed with the order?
|My System Specs
|23 Sep 2011
Does this happen with any brand of DVD/RW? some blank disks are more prone to errors.
I can't find that model number on LiteOn's site either, maybe because it is an OEM version which has another retail boxed model number. I think what you want is firmware but I found nothing on that either. I used to have two of those identical drives and found them troublesome.
Try this: go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Device Manager find your drives' entry and uninstall both of them and reboot. Perhaps Windows will find another driver for them.
|My System Specs
|24 Sep 2011
They are OEM. I have uninstalled. No help. I found a firmware update and and it didn't help either. I wonder if I should replace them. I really don't mind replacing them except for the fact that they are fairly new. I just would hate it if new drives didn't resolve this issue.
They were only 20 dollars each.
|My System Specs
|24 Sep 2011
With my experience with them, I don't blame you if you replace.
Let's try this first, SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker use option one, run at boot.
Are you using a 3rd part burning program?
|My System Specs
|25 Sep 2011
I am going to try the scannow command and will let you know the results. No I'm not using 3rd party software, just windows explorer. Maybe I should try 3P software.

President Obama on Tuesday urged Hispanics to enroll in the Affordable Care Act, promising that their private information will not be used by "the immigration people" to track down family members who are in the country illegally.
The president said during an interview with Univision Deportes that federal agents will not have access to the information provided by consumers who sign up for health care through the new exchanges.
"Well, the main thing for people to know is that any information you get, you know, asked with respect to buying insurance, does not have anything to do with…the rules governing immigration," Obama said.
"And you know, you can qualify if you're a legal resident, if you are…legally present in the United States. You know, if you have a family where some people are citizens or legally here, and others are not documented, the immigration people will never get that information," he said.
Hispanics have been slow to enroll in Obamacare, The Hill reported, suggesting that fear of capture and deportation in mixed-status households has kept many from enrolling.
"You know, you will qualify, you know, regardless of what your family's status is," Obama said. "So, you know, people should not hold back just because they're in a mixed-family status."
Hispanics have the highest rate of uninsured in any ethnic group in the U.S., the White House said, adding that there are approximately 10.2 million uninsured Hispanics eligible for coverage under Obamacare.
The Hill notes that the White House has put a special emphasis on getting Hispanics to enroll as the March 31 open enrollment deadline approaches.
The Obama administration has employed programs such as the Latino Enrollment Week of Action and worked closely with Spanish-language media to encourage more Obamacare signups.

Top rides
By: Zdenko Kahlina
Back country roads, rolling hills, vineyards and stunning views!
The Niagara Escarpment is a range of hills created by the last glacier and is characterized by steep hills. Niagara Falls, on the river between Lake Erie and Lake Ontario, is the most spectacular feature of the escarpment. I was at Halton region in October to explore the area on the bike.
Niagara Escarpment near Milton, Ontario
Visiting family in Southern Ontario
It was already October and Thanksgiving weekend. The leaves were changing color and the air was crisp! What better way to enjoy a beautiful fall day then biking on local roads. I was visiting Rodger's family in the Halton Hills region and was riding my bike almost every day.
The Halton region offers various levels of difficulty for cyclists. All local roads are in great conditions, mostly super smooth. This is definitely one of the Canadian cycling meccas. Head out for a spin along Niagara Escarpment ridge on any day of the week, at any time, and you will see rider after rider. On the weekend, there's almost a continuous long line of riders going up and down the hills – men and women on racing machines, mountain bikes, on clipless pedals or in tennis shoes. The region has great cycling infrastructure, expecially now that at nearby city of Milton, they are finishing building new Mattamy velodrome as a four-season, permanent facility.
In less than 24 hours after my arrival in Campbellville, bike was unpacked and ready for new challenges. I called my Croatian friend Kreso, who lives in Mississauga, to join me for Sunday ride and show me some cycling routes around here. Like many others, he also often rides on these roads. He arrived at the house early in the morning, with his girlfriend Sue who came along for the ride. There was no sign of any wind and after early morning fog raised, the sun came out and it turned to be a nice sunny day.
My Croatian friend Kreso and his girlfriend Sue
Biking at the Halton Region
Kreso decided on a hilly training route as we headed west. He had no other choice, as all roads in the Campbellville Conservation area are hilly. It was like mini condensed Tour of Flanders as it included a series of short, steep climbs, kinda like the bergs from the Belgian classic. Southern Ontario is pretty flat and it seems that the only decent hills they have are part of the Niagara Escarpment, a ridge that runs from Niagara to Tobermory. There's a challenging section at Kelso Conservation Area which was exactly point where we were. The hills around here are short but quite steep in places, with grades exceeding 10 and even 20%. Read my blog how I managed to climb the Rattlesnake point.
It was a beautiful but crispy day riding through the Campbellville Conservation area
My Croatian friend Kreso and his girlfriend Sue
We went west from Appleby Line road towards Campbellville and Cambridge. We rode on Limestone Road, Conservation Road, Concession Road 11W, Old Beverly Road and Main Street to enter into Cambridge. The route Kreso chose for our ride was stunning, going through beautiful forests, farm land… all on rolling terrain and hardly any cars. I was glad I wore long sleeve jersey though, as it wasn't going to make it above 12C after all.
He started very strong and I was in trouble when we reached first hills, but I survived and fought back. Usually it takes me longer to warm up and I knew it will get easier for me. I was really feeling the workout at this point but I got a breather on the way down after each hill. I actually enjoy riding up hills… I just don't like racing up hills. But hey, maybe with more training I can improve next year. Anyhow, I let them do most of the work at the front in first hour or so, trying to exhaust them. It worked!
On the bridge over the Grand River
When we arrived in Cambridge, we stopped at the Melville café, located in downtown Galt at the Queens Square and an odd roundabout. We were the only cyclists at that time… signs of the fall and season being over. This was a comfortable cafe overlooking the Grand River where most cyclists usually make a stop. After a quick meal and coffee, we took few pictures in front of nearby churches.
The Melville café outdoor patio was empty
Kreso, Sue and Zdenko at the Melville café
I loved Cambridge. The downtown core has been used as the setting of several movies and maintains the charm in the historic architecture. There are boutiques, bistros with sidewalk dining areas, the Farmer's Market, Old City Hall as well as the Southworks Outlet Mall all within walking distance or a very short drive. The four stone churches downtown (Knox's, Central, St. Thomas and Wellesley) are well preserved. The old, old post office, built in 1885 on Water Street beside the river, is being re-purposed into library and restaurant space under a heritage conservation plan. Another stone building (only partly old), the Mill restaurant, is a good place to eat. The market beside the old stone City Hall on Dickson Street has been operating there for 144 years. I was here for the first time and this town really impressed me!
Picture taking at the Queens Square in Cambridge
Return trip
On the way back things were little different. My friend Kreso chose different roads and we were soon gliding at high speed on Gore Road all the way to Concession Road 10W. The little wind we had today was now coming from behind, which made us going even faster. Now I was at the front more often settling into nice pace at around 34km/h that suited me perfectly. Sue was there with me and we worked together at the front. She was dominant on the hills, but I was following closely and didn't allow myself to get dropped. Every time we would get to another hill, Sue was pulling strongly at the front. As she was forcing the pace, I would seize the opportunity to glue myself to her wheel and get a free ride at a higher pace, until we got over the top and a big downhill where we hit speeds of over 75 km/h. By this time Kreso was a bit cooked and was showing signs of weakness. These long descents meant more climbing was in store in the last few kilometers.
Beautiful fall scenery on the roads in Halton Region
On the Twiss road in Conservation area
As we were approaching the Conservation area around Campbellville we turned onto Mountsberg Road, Side Road 3 and Twiss Road. We were going so fast I didn't even notice as we passed through the Campbellville town. Soon after, we made a right turn on Canyon Road and were back at our starting point on Appleby Road.
Biking through forests, gliding through valleys and fields, rolling up and down hills was all part of the Niagara Escarpment Route from Campbellville to Cambridge. We covered total distance of 86 km today, but for me it didn't feel this long. "It was truly fantastic. I really enjoyed the whole experience today", I was trying to explain. "I loved all these horse farms in Halton Region and the scenery was fantastic! The amount of wildlife and beautiful houses I saw on our route today never ceased to amaze me".
Amazing scenery through the Greenbelt areas
Halton Region and its Greenbelt areas have a number of excellent cycling destinations and bicycle routes catering to a variety of cyclist types. In short: 'Cycling paradise'!
It takes two to cycle at the Halton Hills
The following weekend I have scheduled yet another bike ride, this time with someone from our family. I was riding with Craig Rodger, the brother of my son-in-low James. Every time I go out for a ride with someone for the first time, I never know how strong this person is. In cycling it is like in Ping-Pong. You don't want to play a game if the two players are not at the same level. The same can be applied in cycling. I knew 'uncle' Craig loved cycling and had a nice road bike, but I never knew he was such a serious cyclist until I saw him that day ready for the ride. Craig looked pretty strong, and I was worried.
I was right. Craig was strong! He was riding on a very expensive new Willer bike in bright orange colors. I could sense he was more than ready for this! As soon as we made a turn onto Appleby Line road to begin our ride, he was going fast! 'Uh, it's going to be a hard day on the road!', was my thinking at that moment!
The morning was little on the chilly side at 11 Celsious and west wind of 13 kph that could bring rain later in the day. Yeah, and I was right again. As the day progressed weather turned for worse. Craig decided on challenging course for more experienced cyclists. The course explores the scenic and challenging terrain of Halton Hills 'Northern loop'. One of the most striking features in Halton Hills is the Niagara Escarpment which traverses the heart of Halton Hills. The escarpment is 725 km long starting at Niagara Falls and rises 510 metres above sea level, the Halton Hills section is the closest to Toronto. Facilities for skiing, hiking, camping and numerous conservation areas are within a short driving distance from Halton Hills. To find out more visit www.niagaraescarpment.org
Craig during our ride through Halton Hills area
Halton Hills is one of the largest agricultural areas in the Greater Toronto Area and is strategically located to allow farm operations to serve over 5 million consumers. It's easy to eat local, either pick-your-own or at the Farmers' Markets. We rode by the apple piking farms and many vineyards. Apple picking is always a popular fall activity in the GTA, with families looking for a fun way to spend time together outdoors. Some farms and orchards will include wagon rides, petting zoos, country shops with homemade jams and preserves and much more. Whether you're looking to make apple pies for Thanksgiving, candy apples for Halloween or just to have fresh and healthy snacks on hand, there's plenty of places across the GTA to pick your own apples. This region also boasts a growing culinary scene, and many boutique wineries that are both laid-back and approachable.
Farm after farm was left behind us as we headed further into the Northern Ontario, getting closer to Halton Hills. The Fourth Line road (north) had a slight uphill grade and Craig slowly felt my pressure at the front and was dropped. I had to slow down and wait for him, but as soon the road leveled again he was at the front, increasing the pace and putting preasure on me. This situation would repeat on every hill we climbed and it was clear, he was not a strong climber, but on the flat roads he was stronger than me.
We pedaled through the hilly terrain of Halton Hills region. This loop will traverse you through the Niagara Escarpment, into Arkell area and near Nassagaweya Park. The worsening weather didn't allow us to fuel up in one of the quaint coffee shops along the route for a rest stop. At one point on our back to Campbellville it began to drizzle. It was cold! But we managed to get out of that cloud and the road was dry again. We never slowed down during the whole ride. By the time we recognized familiar site of Campbellville in front, after more than two hours of riding, we were both exhausted and felt cold. I was in dire need for a beer!
Our Route was: Appleby Line North, Campbellville road East (5 Side Road), Fourth Line North, 15 Side Road West, Nassagaweya Esquesing Townline, 25 Side Road West, Nassagaweya Puslinch Townline North, Arkell Road West, Arkell town, Watson Road South, 20 Side Road East, 2 Line Road South, 10 Side Road East, Guelph Line Road South, Campbellville Road East and finally Appleby Line Road which took us home. It was only 66 km long ride. This bike ride had a total elevation gain of 520 m and had a maximum elevation of 372 m. These numbers are not very impressive, but the hills in the area, short and steep, are not easy to climb.
The post-ride lunch and a beer at the Rodger's house were welcomed by both of us! Bottom line, we had a great ride on that day!
Zdenko – still enjoying riding his bike
Fast Facts
Quite often people ask me why I still ride bicycle. My answer is always the same: I love it!! I ride to be stronger than yesterday. I ride to be healthy, free from stress, to see beautiful places I missed in the car. 'If I've had a stressful day at work, getting on the bike and going out of the city for a two hour ride completely cleans out my system. Anybody who rides knows the feeling – that sense of exhilaration and inner peace.' I also ride my bicycle to be challenged… that's why most of the time when traveling I bring my bike with me. It was the same here in Ontario. I enjoyed very much the scenery and the roads in the Halton Hills region!
Have a good and healthy season.

Northern Ireland fans' heartbreak as flight trouble means they miss historic Euro 2016 clash in France
Northern Ireland fans have been left heartbroken after flight trouble from Belfast means they will miss today's historic Euro 2016 knockout in Paris.
The Green and White Army have been well represented throughout Northern Ireland's campaign in France.
And having secured tickets to the knockout clash against Wales on Saturday in Paris fans scurried to get flights and accomodation.
But the "once in a lifetime opportunity has been halted for fans who were caught up in confusion around an easyJet flight from Belfast International.
Peter Hunniford from Portadown had booked with a friend to get the 8pm flight to London Gatwick to meet a friend to drive to Paris.
On arrival to the airport they were told there was an hour delay to the flight. But when they called at around 10.20opm they were told the flight was cancelled.
He said: "We were standing at the gate about 40 minutes and not boarding. Then there were rumours that the flight was going to be canelled. It was announced that it was cancelled and everybody must make their way back to check in lounge."
Around 200 passengers made their way back to the desk.
"There was just chaos. Passengers were quite irate, annoyed and nobody knew that happened."
Then 30 minutes later they were told the flight was going ahead and they must urgently make their way back to the gate.
He said: "The reason we were given was the plane had run out of flight hours and they had got approval to fly out of hours and we needed to make our way urgently through security to make the plane.
"We got through pretty quickly and I was the last one allowed through security.
About 50 of us got through. We got to the gate to find about 20 or 30 people standing there because they had just shut the doors. They let 20 people in the plane and said no more, they had to depart.
He added: "So were standing with the steps of the plane still attached, the plane just sitting there and we weren't allowed to board."
Peter said a large majority were Northern Ireland fans.
He said: "The police came but were very sympathetic.
If they kept us at the gate, everyone would have got on the plane."
Now he faces the potential costs of hotel cancellations and the disappointment of missing the game.
"It was once in a lifetime opportunity. We spent all day trying to get tickets and got sorted out on Friday.
"We were so excited and then worried about the delay. But we were told to board and then there was just chaos."
In response easyJet said the issue was due to air traffic control restrictions.
In a statement it said: "easyJet can confirm that some passengers booked on flight EZY840 from Belfast International to London Gatwick yesterday, 24 June 2016, did not travel on the flight.
"Due to air traffic control restrictions at Belfast International yesterday it was expected that the flight would need to be cancelled and so our ground agents transferred passengers back through security. However during this time it was confirmed that the flight could depart in a limited time window. As a result unfortunately not all passengers had time to return through security for the departure.
"Passengers who did not travel yesterday were offered overnight accommodation and transfers on to other flights from Belfast this morning.
"We would like to sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused."

Target: Tragedy Khadafi
Producer: SPK
Album: N/A
Label: N/A
Best Line: "He don't wanna be a Muslim no more/He used to be black and proud now he wanna be hardcore"
After signing Capone-N-Noreaga, then helping craft and complete their debut album, The War Report, Tragedy Khadafi found himself on the outs with his protege Noreaga, who wasn't happy with how he was compensated for the project. Nore accused Trag of stiffing the duo on album proceeds, and felt he and (the then-incarcerated) Capone deserved more than they were awarded (despite the fact that Tragedy produced or was featured on almost half of the tracks).
On "Halfway Thugs Pt. 2," the always entertaining Noreaga took the gloves off and spewed hilarious lines like "You just mad 'cause you wasn't in the Juice Crew," and accused Trag of being a 37-year-old ham-eating Muslim and a crackhead who bit Nas' style. The track also questioned Tragedy for abandoning his roots as a pro-black/revolutionary MC (under the Intelligent Hoodlum moniker) to become a street-oriented rapper.

David Cameron called the HMS Queen Elizabeth a "sign of things to come" for Britain if Scotland rejects independence as politicians linked today's ceremony to the upcoming referendum.
The Prime Minister used a comment in the vessel's naming book to say the United Kingdom was a "truly great country" facing an "increasingly interconnected and inter-reliant" world.
Ed Miliband, the Labour leader, and Alistair Carmichael, the Scottish Secretary, also issued pro-UK messages while Alex Salmond, Scotland's First Minister, defended shipbuilding prospects after independence.
With less than 11 weeks to go until Scotland votes whether to end three centuries of union there was bound to be a political element to the celebrations.
"If the United Kingdom stays together, as I hope it will, Glasgow and Scotland will continue to be an absolute centre of excellence in terms of shipbuilding," Mr Cameron said.
"Let's celebrate today the fact that so many people have worked so hard to produce the Royal Navy's biggest ever ship. It's a really exciting day for Scotland, a great day for the United Kingdom and a sign of things to come if our country stays together."
Mr Miliband noted the aircraft carrier had been built in six different yards across the UK and called it a "visible reminder of what we can achieve when we work together".
"As part of the United Kingdom, I'm confident that shipbuilding in Scotland will have a positive future and continue to thrive," he added.
Mr Carmichael said it was a "proud day" for the workers on the Forth and the Clyde who had helped produce a "magnificent feat of engineering".
"With thousands of people from across the country working together on its design and construction, HMS Queen Elizabeth is a prime example of the UK at its best," he said.
Mr Salmond praised "the skill, the engineering, the workmanship [and] the amazing feat and sight" that were on display in the HMS Queen Elizabeth.
The First Minister has come under pressure in recent weeks over the impact a Yes vote could have on the country's shipbuilding industry.
Asked about the prospects for Rosyth Dockyard after independence on BBC Radio Scotland's Good Morning Scotland, Mr Salmond said: "Rosyth is a fantastic facility."
"It's a huge deep water facility. It's going to be in the market for jobs for many, many years to come and will do outstandingly well in a range of market places, even although it won't inevitably be building aircraft carriers again."

Santiago - The end of South America
Santiago Travel Blog› entry 12 of 30 › view all entries
August 6th - We were picked up by the taxi at 3.30am and made our way to the airport. We checked in quite quickly and our bags were checked all the way to Santiago which we were pleased with so we didn't have to collect them when we arrived at Sao Paulo. The flight to Sao Paulo took 2 and a half hours and we arrived about 8.30am. We were hoping there might be an earlier flight we could get to Santiago but were disappointed there was not so we had about an 8 hour wait at the airport. We were very bored but it was a massive airport so we did lots of window shopping and couldn't even read as we had finished our books and new ones in the airport were about 15 pounds! We had some breakfast and then some lunch and it was finally time to fly to Santiago at 4.
August 7th - This morning we had a bit of a lay in and then decided to do the walk around the city which the Lonely Planet Guide recommends. As Plaza de armas was half way round the route we started from there and did the second half of the walk first. We walked across the Plaza and saw that there was a crowd of people gathering round a man. We went over to see what was going on and stood at the back of a 6 deep row of people...straightaway neil got picked on by the man saying 'hey you', everyone then turned round and looked at Neil and we quickly walked off. He then started calling 'where you from? come back' He then had the full crowd in laughter...not sure what he said as it was spanish! One of our first stops on the walk was 'el rapido' an empanada cafe, and it was packed full of workers on their lunch break.
August 8th - Emma's bag had still not arrived so the receptionist at the hostel phoned the airline for us but they couldn't really tell us when or what was happening with the bag. Neil had lent Emma some clothes to sleep in and a jumper to wear as it was chilly in Chile, and we went out and had bought a toothbrush, shampoo and other toiletries.
August 9th - This morning we made it to breakfast which was included in our rate as we had to check out at 10am. We tried the airline again who told Emma that her bag was on the 1pm flight from Sao Paulo and that she should pick up her bag from the airport when we went tonight. Emma was missing her backpack now and was looking forward to changing her clothes! Our flight was not until 11pm so we went back and finished off the sights we had missed on the lonely planet walk. We walked up the Santa Lucia archway, at the top you could see all of the city and the surrounding snow capped mountains. It was pretty but quite misty caused by the 'Santiago smog'. We then visited some markets and made our way back to plaza de Armas.

A good machine for the price. Gets up all the dust from our shedding dog and the cats. I wish the attachments were a bit sturdier, they are hard plastic.

Host Of New State Laws Take Effect Tomorrow
June 30, 2000
For many states, July 1 brings a new fiscal year and is the effective date for a host of new laws -- many dealing with controversial issues. Perhaps the most widely discussed new state law is Vermont's civil union law recognizing the legal unions of same-sex couples. Meanwhile, South Dakota lawmakers have strengthened an existing law barring same-sex marriages.
- Tomorrow it will be legal to post the Ten Commandments in Indiana courthouses -- and supporters in the town of Paoli plan to do so at a minute past midnight.
- Indiana and Florida will allow mothers to abandon unwanted newborns at hospitals without fear of prosecution, while Georgia doctors will be able to take abused children into protective custody temporarily.
- Pennsylvania property owners will get a $100 tax rebate and sales taxes will disappear in Connecticut for college text books, child car seats and movie tickets costing over $5.
- Minnesota will require more criminals to contribute DNA samples -- while Oklahoma is loosening its DNA rules so inmates can have old evidence retested.

For those who have problems writing a Fight Scene.
Published by 0---TY---0 in the blog 0---TY---0's blog. Views: 152
Whether it be a Massive War, or just two guys duking it out, a Fight Scene can be as fun to write as it is hard for some.
I have had people come to me for advice. And of course, I really am no expert, but I might be able to give a few tips.
I will start off with how to write a Massive War, two armies going at it, that entire spiel.
My first tip in this aspect, is to go onto youtube and type in Medieval 2 Total War Replays. Seriously, it helps! People play this massive scale warfare game and watching what they do can give you an idea of what works, and what doesn't. This really helps you in writing out your entire battle scene because you will know these things, and be able to create more conflict if you know that a cavalry charge in the light infantry could corrupt your entire line.
Also, should you be wanting more of a colonial warfare approach, go for Empire Total War.
These drastically help.
Now I will move on to a one on one battle.
My first tip is, watch movies, or clips of movies, with a one on one battle. Jet Li has a good variety of Martial Arts and Street Fighting in his movies. As you are watching this, try to describe the fight as it is happening, go into only as much detail as necessary, it will help.
My next and last tip is to remember something that one can learn from the best fake fighters in the world:
Pro Wrestlers (Sorry if this makes you cry)
But seriously, Pro Wrestlers are actors, and their epic fights are generally broken up into 8 parts that really make for a suspenseful and epic battle. This doesn't mean that everyone of your fights needs to follow this guideline to the very 'T' but it is something that will give you an idea of what makes a fight epic, and what brings your readers into it.
1. Intro
This is where you basically introduce your fighters, establish their basic range of abilities, and also (if need be) who is overall stronger than the other.
2. Chain
The fighters begin to really go at it, for the most part matching each other blow for blow. However, if wanted you may have the stronger character match the blows 2 to 1, or some other variation.
3. Shining
Now, one of your characters (we will call him Character A at this point) will begin to get the upper hand over the other (Character B). He/she begins to win over their opposer, or just starts to hit their level (should Character B be the stronger one).
4. Cut off
Character B simply cuts off Character A from his slight moment of advantage. This can be done by a dirty trick, or by Character B just deciding he isn't going to toy with his opponent anymore. Its all up to you, but bottom line is: Character B gains the upper hand (Or re-gains it however you are going here).
5. Heat
Character B begins to pound the life out of Character A, gaining the obvious upper hand. This does not mean that Character A won't get in a punch or two, because he/she can, its just Character B delivers more hits than A.
6. Hope Spot
After being beaten on by Character B for a while, Character A then gains the upper hand. They are able to get in a few really good hits that send their opponent whirling.
7. Double Down
Directly after the Hope Spot, Character B rises up to the challenge again, battling Character A blow for blow. This could go on for ages, the characters matched in a climactic final struggle to get on top.
8. Finish
The Character you pick to win, either Character A or Character B, wins, end of story almost. Should one chose, a writer can be like the WWE Wrestlers and have a spectacular finishing move. Again, its all up to you!
Well guys, I hope this helped!
Happy Writing!

* First major use of new pension rules passed in 2012
* Enel targets newer markets for growth
* Oil group Eni considers accord for 1,000 employees (Adds Eni considering early retirement accord)
By Alberto Sisto
ROME, May 10 (Reuters) - Italian power company Enel has reached a deal on early retirement for almost 10 percent of its domestic workforce, the largest agreement of its kind since the government overhauled Italy's pension rules, a labour union source said.
Italian oil and gas group Eni also said on Friday it was considering a similar deal that would see 1,000 employees take early retirement out of its domestic workforce of around 33,000, but had not yet taken a final decision.
With the Italian economy in its longest recession since World War Two, Enel has suffered a steep decline in demand for gas and electricity at home and is now looking to newer markets such as Latin America for growth.
The country's biggest electricity provider will make up pension contributions and cover extra costs imposed on 3,500 workers taking voluntary early retirement under legislation passed last year by the government of former Prime Minister Mario Monti.
"It's the first time such a large number of people make use of this new law," the union source said on Friday.
Enel shares gained 0.8 percent at 2.95 euros on Friday. An index of European utility companies rose 0.4 percent.
Power consumption has been hit hard by the crisis in Italy, which was underlined on Friday by a 0.8 percent fall in industrial production figures for March, pointing to a bleak reading for first quarter gross domestic product data next week.
The new pensions law raises the retirement age to ensure the state pension system is not blown apart by an ageing population. It allows workers to leave on a full pension within four years of the normal retirement age as long as they have paid contributions for the necessary minimum number of years.
The new regulations impose several restrictions and additional costs on early retirement agreements but the accords can be more attractive to both companies and workers than redundancies.
Enel, in which the state holds a controlling 31 percent stake, has been reluctant to impose redundancies on its 36,000-strong Italian workforce but has long encouraged older workers to leave early under individual early retirement deals.
More than a quarter of all terminations in the company's global workforce of around 74,000 last year were in Italy, with most of these due to voluntary early retirement, according to the company's 2012 annual report.
As part of the new agreement, Enel expects to hire around 1,500 younger workers under new labour market provisions intended to encourage apprenticeships, according to a company source.
The new pension rules impose penalties on workers who leave before they reach 62. But these can be made up by the company, which can also cover pension contributions for departing workers during the gap up to their normal retirement age to ensure they get a full pension.
Under the agreement reached with Enel's unions, which still requires approval from the Labour Ministry, Enel will make up the additional costs for the departing workers and provide other incentives including health benefits. (Writing by James Mackenzie; Editing by Tom Pfeiffer and Mark Potter)

Hey, it's Wednesday and, as always, that means it's Yarnalong with Ginny time. Pop along to her blog to find out what she, and the other yarn alongers are up to this week.
As you can see from the picture below this week, I'm reading... NOTHING. I finished The Dead of Night earlier today, and I don't know what I'm going to read next. Any suggestions welcome in the comments. I'm knitting the Charade socks for the Little Dipper Yarns Knitalong. I've finished the first one, and just done the ribbing on the second. Loving the yarn, loving the pattern, adoring the two together.
I'm listening to War and Remembrance, the sequel to The Winds of War. I thought Iw ould want a break between the books, but actually I missed the characters and really want to know what happens to them.
So that's me for another week. Now I just have to work out what I want to read before next week rolls around...

Boundaries, Johnny! Boundaries!
Okay, let's review. See how Johnny is being physically demonstrative to his sister there in the background? Totally appropriate.
.... but then Johnny takes things waaaaaay too far. I don't care if Jessica Alba is playing your sister in the movie, this is just wrong!
Seriously, am I the only one hearing "Sometimes When We Touch" playing in the background here?

Philadelphia Eagles: The Antonio Brown Trade Talk Isn't Dying
The Philadelphia Eagles are in a full-blown hunt for offensive weapons, and wide receiver is topping the list by a pretty wide margin.
Talk has swirled around free agency and the NFL draft for weeks already. Will they make a push for Alshon Jeffery if he leaves Chicago? Will they try to draft Mike Williams or Corey Davis? It's so easy to get lost in these things that people are forgetting the obvious. This Eagles regime is known for being aggressive on the trade market. What's to stop them from going that route to get their guy.
It seems there's even a name that is gaining steam on that front. A name that people are having a hard time accepting to be true.
Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk got the ball rolling when he indicated that the recent behavior of Antonio Brown is creating a tense situation with the Pittsburgh Steelers. First his controversial locker room video after beating Kansas City in the divisional round. Then the reports that the team was concerned he was less focused on team success and more focused on his own personal stats.
"The recent leak to NFL Network reporter Aditi Kinkhabwala, who is embedded with the Steelers, that the team believes Brown cares too much about his statistics and that he was "pouting" after the first touchdown of Sunday's loss to the Patriots could be regarded as a deliberate effort by the team to slide Brown toward the trading block."
NJ.com columnist Eliot Shorr-Parks who covers the Eagles took immediate notice of that statement. He believes it's almost certain the team is watching the situation carefully.
"That comment should get the attention of Eagles front office executive Howie Roseman. Although the NFL Draft is still three months away, things are starting to take shape as more-and-more teams becomes eliminated.
Wide receiver is one of the Eagles' most pressing needs, and Roseman has promised to address the weakness this offseason. With quarterback in Carson Wentz to build around, adding better receivers should be a top priority.
In 2017, Brown will be entering the final year of his contract, and he likely will seek a contract worthy of one of the NFL's top receivers. If the Steelers are souring on Brown, trading him would allow them to get something in return before risking he would leave as a free agent."

- Christian McCaffery, RB, Stanford: 2017 NFL Draft Scouting Report1 d ago
It seems absolutely inconceivable to think about. Brown is one of the two best wide receivers in the NFL. The stats alone bear that out with 632 catches, 8,377 yards, and 50 touchdowns in 101 games. He's still just 28-years old. It's hard to imagine the Steelers would even be considering this. Then again, this is a franchise with a long track record of success at drafting at developing wide receivers.
People thought they were crazy to let Plaxico Burress walk in 2005. No bother. In comes a young kid named Santonio Holmes. Then he decides to leave it 2010. Again the Steelers just adjust to a speedster in Mike Wallace. He also departs for that big contract elsewhere. Lo and behold Pittsburgh has a 6th rounder named Antonio Brown waiting in the wings. Why should they fear moving on from him when they already done this several times before?
Don't forget Martavis Bryant is set to return from suspension in 2017 while Eli Rogers also stepped up this past season. They aren't totally unprepared to handle the loss and the wealth of draft currency they'd get in return could assist in making that even easier. On the flip side the Eagles would get their young quarterback Carson Wentz a legitimate star receiver. Somebody who can open up their offense.
Whether GM Howie Roseman would be willing to pay the price is of course the big question. It will cost at least a 1st round pick (probably more) and lots of money that the Eagles have to find.

EJ and EH Holden production build information database
The EH Holden Car Club of Vic has started a database of EJ and EH vehicle details. This database will require a substantial number of vehicle details to make it effective. This is an ambitious project, and it will be of benefit to all EJ-EH owners.
It will enable to work out approximately the build date of your vehicle, and bring to light some trim and paint code and combinations. Please submit all details and we will hopefully be able to answer any questions for you. It will not hold any personal information, nor will the database be released to anyone.his info will go a long way towards helping others and yourself to find out more about EJ's and EH's.
If you are selling an EJ or EH on the EHCCV website, we request this info as a reciprocal gesture. If you have extra vehicles, body shells, service books etc. do not hesitate to include these details, as partial info helps also. Thank you for your time. Where will you find this info?
Examples?. This is what the main Body ID tag looks like.
Chassis No. – (example) 'EH12345M'
NOT the little tag below the BODY ID tag. It is found stamped in the engine bay skirt on the drivers side, or in original service book.
Original Registration No. – if known. Could be in original service book or on some old receipts
First Date of Reg. – from registration label, or original vehicle service book.
Original Engine No. – (Example) 'H123456′
On engine block, rego label or service book or on some old receipts Also Required are all details exactly as listed on the BODY IDENTIFICATION plate, example shown above. The small plate with a number on it below the main BODY ID plate is a stock number. The following are the details required. Cut and paste the following section into an email to us and fill in the details you may have.
CHASSIS : (this is the most important number)
EJ and EH Body and Engine ID Codes explained
From a set of numbers we can establish some of the history of your EJ or EH. It is all relative to the amount of info you have. I will go through examples and explain what they mean. First of all I will start with the chassis number it is NOT the little tag below the BODY ID tag. It is found stamped in the engine bay skirt panel on the drivers side. A typical example would be 'EH12345M'. The first two letters will state simply whether the vehicle is an 'EJ' or 'EH' .The numbers that follow indicate the number for that vehicle off the line at the plant it was built and/or assembled at. The chassis numbers started at 1001. This brings us to the final letter, which will be either
A – Adelaide
B – Brisbane (assembly only)
M – Melbourne
S – Sydney
P – Perth (assembly only)
NZ – New Zealand (assembly only)
The codes as shown on a sample Body Identification plate below are explained as follows. The small plate with a number on it below the main Body ID plate is a stock number.
The BODY code on this plate holds most of the information. A typical example would be 'EH 225A-1001M' and can be broken up as follows.The first two letters will state simply whether the vehicle is an 'EJ' or 'EH' The next group of three or four numbers will indicate the body style
215 Standard Sedan
219 Standard Station Sedan
225 Special Sedan
229 Special Station Sedan
235 Premier Sedan
239 Premier Station Sedan
2104 Panel Van
2106 Coupe-Utility
The 'M' or 'A' that follows indicates Manual or Automatic
The next group of 1-5 numbers is the number of that vehicle bodystyle off the line at the plant (including assembly) concerned in the last letter.The last letter indicates the plant that the body shell was built at. Bodyshells were built at these three plants only. Final assembly was done at a number of plants. This number starts at 1.
A – Adelaide
M – Melbourne
S – Sydney
What about S4?
There were quite a number of special build codes and from time to time they are seen to be stamped for obvious reasons. S4 is definitley stamped on the S4 model EH's, but has been seen stamped on other seemingly standard models as well. Other codes like s7, s9, s12 also pop up from time to time. It seems a couple of ex-railways panelvans have had S12, but what difference this means in actual build of the vehicle we are still not sure.
The Trim code is in two parts and the first part which is 3 or four digits indicates the paint scheme used. The second part starting with 'B' or 'C' followed by two digits indicates the interior trim itself.
Listing of engine prefixes for Holden sixes
Have you ever wondered if the motor in your old Holden is the original or not? Well unfortunately I don't have a list of all the numbers ever produced, but I have a listing of prefixes for different engine numbers in different models. I hope it can be of some use to you. There may be some reason as to why your prefix doesn't match, maybe they ran out of a certain engine just at the model changeover, or it may be some other special model engine, spare parts sale etc. but this should cover most of them.
Note: (L) denotes Low compression (H) denotes high compression
132 Grey Motor: FX – no prefix, FJ – "U", FE – "L" , FC – "L" .

I think we would all agree that everything about the house was perfect. We were really pleased with the accommodations and amenities. When we had a couple of minor issues, you were very prompt in addressing those. All in all, it was a wonderful house for a family vacation!
Thanks again, Debbie
We stayed at "As You Wish" with five other couples. Each of us had our own bedroom and bathroom. The house was clean, beautiful and had a great kitchen, living, dining are all in one huge space. This made it very nice for cooking meals and socializing. There is an elevator to all the floors which was helpful to have especially for luggage and groceries.We enjoyed walking on the beach (weather too cold to swim),explored the area and drove into Charleston each of the four days we were there. It is a convenient location and in a beautiful area. We would recommend it and would stay there again. Also, the management staff were very professional and helpful.
Well built house that accommodated a large family. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone. Beautiful, large kitchen.
This property was great. Awesome that all 6 bedrooms have their own separate bathrooms. I would give this property 5 stars if it weren't for the exception of the pool. The pool was way smaller than it looks in the pictures, and the surrounding area in the fenced-in backyard just doesn't seem to live up to the standards set for the rest of the house. Otherwise, this place is just perfect. Great times with family and friends, and the master bedroom's bed is the most comfortable thing I've ever slept in, in my whole, entire life!
This trip was planned for our family, all 14 of us! We were not disappointed in this property! We were married 7 years ago in Isle of Palms so this was somewhat of a reunion for our family 7 years later. The house was everything we needed, spacious, clean and beautiful! With 14 people of all ages, we needed alot of room to spread out and this was the perfect place! Morning coffee on the upper balcony, drinks on the bottom front porch at night, star gazing up on the widows watch at night....it was all spectacular! We even had a low country boil and had plenty of room for everyone to be seated around the table! We definitely made lifetime memories in this home! There were a few minor issues that the rental company took care of immediately! We will certainly be back to visit this home again!!
We rented the home for a girl's getaway long weekend. The house was absolutely stunning and in the perfect location. There were 16 of us and having a bathroom for each bedroom was so helpful! We spent time by the pool, at the beach, and the house is a quick 25 minute drive to Downtown Charleston. I would HIGHLY recommend this property for any purpose. I would love to come back with my family for a full week away.
We rented this home for 9 family members for s Graduation weekend. Beautiful, clean , well appointed and very comfortable. Highly recommend this property and I would most definitely rent again if needed.

Original paper
Effects of surfactants on the ultrastructural organization of the phytoplankton, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and Anabaena cylindrica
Popova, Antonina; Kemp, Richard
Fundamental and Applied Limnology Volume 169 Nr. 2 (2007), p. 131 - 136
published: Jul 11, 2007
ArtNo. ESP141016902004, Price: 29.00 €
Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and Anabaena cylindrica were used as model phytoplankton to show the ultrastructural changes in cell membranes and organelles exposed to the most common, commercial surfactants, the anionic sodium dodecyl sulphate and the cationic catamine, in a range of concentrations from 0.1 to 10.0 mg/l and an exposure range from 5 h to 7 days. It was found that cell structure was not affected significantly by short-time exposure (to 5 h) to low concentrations of the surfactants, but they caused an intensification of cell vacuolization compared to the control. The degree of change caused by the surfactants to the ultrastructure of cell organelles increased with the greater concentration of them. At higher surfactant concentrations (3.0 to 5.0 mg/l), marked cell vacuolization was observed and there were changes to membrane structure, especially to the plasma membrane but also to the chloroplast thylakoids. In addition, there were increases in the number and size of the mitochondria as well as morphological alterations to them. There was also a reduction in the nuclear chromatin condensation. At the highest surfactant concentrations (to 10 mg/ml), the cells had numerous degenerative changes, and death occurred to the majority of them. Thus, the results of the model system revealed the precise dependence of the degree of structural reorganisation of the cell organelles on the concentration of surfactant in the culture medium. The data on the state of the phytoplankton should be used for remotely monitoring the state of the microplanktonic organisms in water ecosystems.
phytoplankton • chlamydomonas reinhardtii • anabaena cylindrica • surfactants • ultrastructure • cell organelles

Definitely Suriya's '24' is the most awaited project entire South is looking forward at. Even for regular cinema loving audience, now and then something new and innovative concept based projects generate excitement. '24' falls into this special category as audience zeal isn't dropping down ever since the release date is announced as May 6. Inner sources say that, '24' story is based on a journey into time and Suriya played three pivotal characters designed to perfection by director Vikram Kumar.
Having liked the idea of time machine immensely, Suriya came forward to produce the film on own involved with a heavy budget of 74 Crores. Unlike Tamil viewers, for the first time Telugu audience are showing eagerness to watch '24' on big screens.
That's the credibility Suriya enjoys among entire South cinema circuit. In the past, we have witnessed Balakrishna experimenting on similar subject of time machine with a cult hit 'Aditya 369.' After a very long time gap, Suriya back in same mode touching a time concept is really appreciable. Hope, '24' will be mesmerizingly a superior quality product than 'Aditya 369.'

In new White House bid, Clinton embraces race as a top issu
In this July 23, 2015, photo, Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Rodham Clinton speaks at a campaign event in Columbia, S.C. In her second pass at the presidency, Clinton has made discussing "systemic racism" a hallmark of her campaign as she looks to connect with the black voters who helped propel President Barack Obama to the White House. At multiple campaign stops, she bemoaned "mass incarceration," an uneven economy, increasingly segregated public schools, and poisoned relationships between police and the black community. She praised South Carolina leaders, including Republican Gov. Nikki Haley, for removing the Confederate battle from statehouse grounds after a white gunman's June massacre of nine churchgoers at a historic black congregation in Charleston. But she warned that the act is symbolic. (AP Photo/Stephen B. Morton)

Rand Paul Detained
January 24, 2012 by staff
Rand Paul Detained, Kentucky's junior senator, Republican Rand Paul, was detained at the Nashville airport this morning by agents of the Transportation Safety Administration, and it was all over the news. Many were describing it as a show-down between a libertarian senator and the Obama police state.
He was on his way back to the nation's capital when a scanner set off an alarm and Paul declined to allow a security officer to subsequently pat him down. Local police escorted the senator away, but he was allowed to board a later flight. The security scanner was somehow set off by Paul's knee, although Paul said he has no screws or medical hardware around the joint.
Senator Paul rolled up his pants leg and showed the TSA agents that he wasn't carrying anything in his trousers, and asked for another scan. The agents refused to allow him to go through the scanner a second time, and demanded the senator submit to a manual body search. Sen. Paul refused. "There is no problem. It was just a problem with their machine. But this is getting more frequent, and because everybody has to have a pat down it's a problem," Paul said.
The senator told the Bowling Green Daily News that he was "detained" in a small cubicle and couldn't make his flight to Washington for a Senate vote scheduled later in the day. Paul said the situation reflects his long-standing concern that the TSA shouldn't be "spending so much time with people who wouldn't attack us."
Paul went through a millimeter wave machine that uses a generic outline of a body for all passengers, according to a TSA official who spoke to the Bowling Green Daily News on condition of anonymity to discuss agency screening procedures. When an alarm goes off, TSA officers target the area of the body that triggered the alarm and pat down the passenger.

Dead Birds And Fish In Arkansas
January 4, 2011 by staff
Dead Birds And Fish In Arkansas, Near her car, a dead bird. A short walk to the mailbox, another. Scattered across her yard, a local woman discovered dozens of dead birds. "I've never seen anything like it. Never, "said Sandy discovery. Sandy, who asked us not to share her last name, first noticed the birds a few days ago, but clean, do not think twice. "I have animals in the open and just take; they are imported from around the neighborhood." But when she noticed more birds on Monday morning, she panicked, I had just seen the story on the news about the bird in Arkansas and I was scared. "
In fact, 3,000 blackbirds seemed to fall from the sky there starting last Friday. Autopsies have been ruled out poisoning. A biologist at Cornell University said that top the birds were probably asleep "…. in a single tree when a storm washing machine of the type drawn into the air, disoriented, and even fatally quenched and fees ".
Sandy was not sure what the birds had led to her court.
But off the bat, wildlife biologist Kent Ozment said he was not too concerned. "These birds are millions now. Six birds in a million really are not much. " While he could not say with certainty, he guessed the birds simply succumbed to the elements: "Probably it was just a sort of winter stress."
While Sandy says she was relieved to know that he was connected to nature, she still shudders at the discovery. "It's really scary." Local 6 checked with other fish of several outlets and wildlife and even some neighbors Sandy. No other birds have been discovered or reported.
