Still in the aftermath of the 57 people arrested in Lagos, reports are reaching us that no fewer than 41 perceived gay persons have been arrested by security operatives in Bauchi State. The victims were arrested during a joint operation by men of the (NPF) Nigeria Police Force and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Bauchi State command.
In a report by Punch Newspapers, The Nigerian Police Force Public Relations Officer in Bauchi State; Kamal Abubakar, confirmed the incident and said the police had charged 37 of the victims to court.
He said, "Although we gathered through intelligence reports that the suspects were homosexuals, we did not charge them to court as homosexuals or lesbians since we did not catch them in the act. But we charged them for being public nuisance since they were arrested at a birthday party."
This statement clearly shows that the police arrested these individuals based on reports of being gay but charged them with something else for lack of evidence.
In a bid to justify the arrests, Mr Kamal Abubabakar, a Deputy Superintendent of Police, reiterated the commitment of the police to protect lives and property of residents. No idea what that has to do with arresting young men at a party but The Bauchi State Commissioner for Religious Affairs; Alhaji Ado Zigau, went on to say the suspects were arrested based on intelligence reports.
He said, "Intelligence reports revealed that some lesbians and homosexuals planned a gathering at the Federal Secretariat Conference Hall. Security operatives were mobilised to the scene and they arrested quite a number of the suspects. Each security team arrested some suspects and took them to their office for interrogation."
Meanwhile the state command of the NSCDC paraded four suspects they arrested separately from the NPF.
The Public Relations Officer of the corps, DSC Garkuwa Adamu, said, "On September 1, 2018, intelligence information revealed that some group of youths suspected to be homosexuals were having a meeting at the Federal Secretariat and we swung into action and arrested four suspects.The suspects are Abubakar Adamu, 18; Usman Abubakar, 20; Dalhatu Hassan, 19; and Mukhtar Mohammed, 20."
"We recovered three Jincheng motorcycles, one Haojue ladies motorcycle, one generator, three birthday cakes, four GSM phones and other souvenirs during the operation," he said.
There is no talk of what evidence the men were being held on other than hearsay and one of the paraded suspects; Abubakar Adamu, has already gone on record to deny being gay.
He said "We are not gay; we don't have lesbians among us. I organised a birthday party and invited my friends. I sat with a female friend when I was arrested. I am a tailor and we followed due process and applied to use the Federal Secretariat Conference Hall, which they gave us. After we finished the birthday, security operatives came in and arrested us. But we are not homosexuals and we don't belong to any association."
When asked how he got money to organise the birthday, he said "I am a tailor. My customers pay me between N400 and N2,500. My friends contributed some of the items. I have learnt my lesson and I will not organise a birthday party again."
We have reached out to some human rights operatives and await further development on the story, stay connected to The Rustin Times for more.

December's Popular Picks are guaranteed to fly off the shelves. This month's list includes a fun read-aloud about a rooster who would not keep quiet (!), a middle grade version of Cyrano de Bergerac, a witty look at some animals you've probably never even heard of, and an adorable tale of a narwhal and his jellyfish best friend.
DEEDY, Carmen Agra. The Rooster Who Would Not Be Quiet! illus. by Eugene Yelchin. 48p. Scholastic. Feb. 2017. Tr $17.99. ISBN 9780545722889. POP
K-Gr 2 –In the village of La Paz, everyone is constantly singing. So much happy noise eventually causes the townspeople to wish for a little peace and quiet. So they throw out the old mayor and bring in Don Pepe, who guarantees change. In a classic "be careful what you wish for" scenario, Don Pepe delivers on his word and successfully makes singing illegal. For seven years the village remains quiet, until along comes a saucy gallito, who happily crows aloud every morning. Angered, Don Pepe makes it his personal mission to silence the rooster once and for all. He takes away the rooster's food, family, and sunlight and even threatens death, but the gallito still crows, "Kee-kee-ree-KEE!" and eventually inspires the rest of La Paz to join him in his triumphant singing. Don Pepe leaves town, and the villagers return to their loud, joyful ways. Told with a storyteller's flair, the narrative reads like a folktale, while Yelchin's mixed-media illustrations are vibrant and perfectly suit the text. VERDICT A fun read-aloud for any library, especially ones looking for stories with Hispanic influence.
DiPucchio, Kelly. Antoinette. illus. by Christian Robinson. 40p. S. & S./Atheneum. Feb. 2017. Tr $17.99. ISBN 9781481457835. POP
PreS-Gr 1 –DiPucchio and Robinson follow up Gaston, their book about a French bulldog in a family of poodles, with a tale about his pal Antoinette, the lone poodle in a litter of French bulldogs. Antoinette's siblings all have special talents, but she's not sure what makes her stand out. All that changes, however, the day that Antoinette's and Gaston's families meet up and Gaston's sister Ooh-La-La goes missing. Stalwart Antoinette refuses to give up in the face of adversity and soon proves herself. Expressive and energetic, Robinson's acrylic illustrations are full of details that establish the Parisian setting, from the Eiffel Tower in the background to the beret on a painter in the park, and the climactic moment takes place in the Louvre, on the famed Winged Victory of Samothrace statue. The images have a flat, almost childlike feeling, with the artist using simple shapes to portray characters and objects and convey a sense of whimsy that matches the text. The focus is the dogs, but many ethnically diverse people appear in the background. While this is a straightforward story, with the familiar message that sometimes it takes time to discover one's raison d'être, DiPucchio brings a lighthearted, arch quality to her narration, breaking the fourth wall here and there ("Busy aren't they? And ridiculously cute, but please don't tell them that."). Overall, this picture book is bound to have children rapt until the conclusion—and soon begging for another read. VERDICT Sure to be a storytime hit, especially where Gaston is popular. School Library Journal
Martin, Bill, Jr. & Michael Sampson. Spunky Little Monkey. illus. by Brian Won. 32p. Scholastic. Jan. 2017. Tr $17.99. ISBN 9780545776431. POP
PreS-K –In this twist on the classic children's clapping game "Down Down Baby," the titular little monkey won't get out of bed until the doctor prescribes some exercise as the remedy. What results is an infectious, rhythmic dancing game, complete with clapping, stomping, and shaking. It's nearly impossible to resist joining in, and possibly even more difficult to get the rhyming song out of one's head once the book is through. Won's bold, colorful illustrations fill each page, bringing the spunky chimp to life. With simple, lyrical repetition, this is a fantastic book for young children and one that can easily be adapted for younger elementary-age kids. Sampson includes a note about the importance of daily exercise along with a poignant remark regarding reading as a form of exercise. VERDICT A whimsical and playful way to inspire children to be both physically and mentally engaged. In the end, Monkey's friends join in the fun, as will any reader or listener, making this a popular storytime title.
Patricelli, Leslie. Nighty-Night. illus. by Leslie Patricelli. 26p. Candlewick. Jan. 2017. Board $6.99. ISBN 9780763679323. POP
Baby-Toddler –Patricelli's irrepressible baby is back for another wonderful board book installment. This title features the usual humorous tone mingled with the comforting routines of bedtime. After dinner, the baby bids farewell to the sun and says hello to the moon, before "Bye-bye pants. Naked dance!" The precious narrative speaks directly to the intended audience in language they are sure to respond to: "Brushy toothy. Brushy hair. Kissy Daddy. Huggy bear." In another context, this technique could be cloying, but the simplicity of the words, combined with the spare, appealing illustrations, makes for a harmonious read. After pajamas, a story, a song, and a final hug and kiss from both parents, the baby goes "nighty-night." VERDICT A highly recommended addition to all board book collections and a worthy companion to the other entries in the series.
Rockwell, Anne. Zoo Day. illus. by Lizzy Rockwell. 32p. (My First Experience). S. & S./Aladdin. Jan. 2017. Tr $16.99. ISBN 9781481427364. POP
PreS-Gr 1 –A boy describes his first trip to the zoo with his family. Howls, squawks, barks, splashes, grunts, and whistles are just some of the sounds he hears as they walk past the cages. "I hold my father's hand tightly because the roars make me a little nervous." A full-spread map of the zoo reveals all the habitats and animals that the family will visit. They begin at the Jungle House to see the busy monkeys, followed by Gorilla Forest. Next they stop by the African Plain to view the elephants, ostriches, zebras, and giraffes. At the Reptile House, they see a boa constrictor, a poisonous coral snake, and a painted turtle. The boy's little sister runs ahead when they get to the polar bears. The children love watching the big white bears "in their underwater dance," but their father hurries them along because it's feeding time for the sea lions. As the zookeeper throws the shiny silver fish to the excited barking diners, the boy realizes he, too, is hungry. After a picnic lunch, they walk through the Bird House, where there are no cages, and a parrot rests on the boy's shoulder to drink nectar from a paper cup. "I wish I could bring him home," he laments, but they do get souvenir balloons to keep. Rockwell's signature watercolor illustrations depict a loving, brown-skinned, pink-cheeked family and an exciting array of animals eating, playing, and caring for their young. VERDICT In addition to preparing youngsters for a trip to the zoo, this title can be used with early elementary students to model personal narrative. A pleasing, straightforward introduction.
Vail, Rachel. Well, That Was Awkward. 320p. ebook available. Viking. Feb. 2017. Tr $16.99. ISBN 9780670013081. POP
Gr 5-8 –A modern, multicultural version of Cyrano de Bergerac. Gracie Grant, a tall eighth grader who has a prominent nose and hails from New York City, takes the lead as the Cyrano stand-in. Gracie's best friend, Sienna Reyes, needs help texting the boy who likes her, the handsome AJ Rojanasopondist. Unbeknownst to Gracie and Sienna, AJ gets help in responding to the texts from the witty but vertically challenged Emmett Barnaby. In addition, Gracie is coming to terms with the lifelong effects of losing a sibling. Bret, her sister, died in an accident before Gracie was born. Gracie's parents are understandably a bit overprotective, and she often wonders how her life would be different if Bret had lived. She is also facing the standard middle school angst: Is she pretty enough? Why isn't she as popular as other kids? Will a boy ever like her? The protagonist and her friends represent a variety of middle schoolers: a mean girl, a bullied kid, a sporty kid, a smart kid, the popular group, and outsiders. Yet Vail's portrayals prevent the characters from being mere stereotypes. Even Gracie's parents are fully formed, not the typically clueless adults who populate many books for kids. Readers will see themselves in Gracie and her friends, root for them, and likely figure out who is actually texting whom before the characters do, even if they haven't read the source material. VERDICT This tween romance proves that some stories stand the test of time, even with modernization.
Fine, Sarah. The Cursed Queen. 432p. S. & S./ Margaret K. McElderry Bks. Jan. 2017. Tr $17.99. ISBN 9781481441933. POP
Gr 8 Up –Unfolding in tandem with The Impostor Queen, Fine's latest novel shifts to the perspective of the Krigere, a fierce people who thrive on raiding, plundering, and killing. Ansa was captured during a Krigere raid as a little girl, but she has earned her place within the group as a formidable warrior. Ansa's world is turned upside down, however, after the Krigere attempt a raid by sea on the Kupari. The Kupari queen manipulates the weather and the sea with incredible force, decimating the Krigere longships. Few survive, and Ansa soon realizes that her close encounter with the Kupari queen has somehow cursed her. Ansa now wields powers of fire and ice, but she cannot control them, and they threaten her place among the Krigere. A high-stakes power struggle is also brewing. This story connects to the preceding one in eye-opening ways, but it can stand alone, too. Ansa grapples convincingly with who she really is and what she believes, and, refreshingly, her romantic lesbian relationship with crush Thyra is fully developed. Compared to the intricately ritualistic world of the Kupari depicted in The Impostor Queen, the Krigere culture is far more straightforward and accessible to new readers. The narrative is highly readable, the suspense is authentic, and the characters will keep teens guessing about their motivations until the very end. VERDICT A strong purchase. Readers will eagerly await more from this realm.
Lacour, Nina. We Are Okay. 240p. Dutton. Feb. 2017. Tr $17.99. ISBN 9780525425892. POP
Gr 8 Up –Her first semester of college behind her, Marin stays alone in the dorms over break, even with the threat of a snowstorm looming, rather than return to San Francisco, where bad memories lurk. Her best friend Mabel comes to stay with her, and over the next few days, Marin contemplates the events of last spring and summer and deals with her complicated relationship with Mabel. Slowly, readers learn more about Marin's life: the surfer mother who drowned when Marin was young, the father she never knew, the loving grandfather who raised her but whose concealed secrets kept a wall between them, and the painful events that sent Marin fleeing San Francisco. LaCour's use of settings is masterly: frigid and desolate upstate New York reflects Marin's alienation, while vibrant San Francisco evokes moments of joy. Though there's little action, with most of the writing devoted to Marin's memories, thoughts, and musings, the author's nuanced and sensitive depiction of the protagonist's complex and turbulent inner life makes for a rich narrative. Marin is a beautifully crafted character, and her voice is spot-on, conveying isolation, grief, and, eventually, hope. With hauntingly spare prose, the emphasis on the past, and references to gothic tales such as The Turning of the Screw and Jane Eyre, this is realistic fiction edged with the melancholy tinge of a ghost story. VERDICT A quietly moving, potent novel that will appeal to teens, especially fans of Laurie Halse Anderson and Sara Zarr. School Library Journal
Mesrobian, Carrie. Just a Girl. 304p. Harper Collins. Mar. 2017. Tr $17.99. ISBN 9780062349910. POP
Gr 9 Up –Mesrobian offers another honest and emotionally charged look at the secret lives of teenage girls. Here, the author examines the abuse that girls withstand from others and sometimes inflict on one another, as well as the double standards that exist between them and their male peers. Rianne is a high school senior with a bad reputation. Widely known in her small town as a slut and nicknamed Hat Trick Girl even by her closest friends, she is struggling to make it to graduation and dreading what comes afterward. With a difficult home life, a crumbling friend group, and no serious job or college prospects, she views starting a life with Luke, a handsome hometown boy who sees past her reputation, as a good plan. Unfortunately, Rianne isn't sure she can stay faithful, at least not after she meets Sergei, a much older foreign exchange student from Russia who looks at her with new eyes and promises to take her away from her tiny town and into the wild world. Gritty and real in ways that many female protagonists are not, Rianne is more of an antihero in her quest to create a good life for herself, despite her nearly constant and seemingly avoidable failures to do so. The dialogue is refreshingly accurate; the offhand snipes between friends are particularly sharp and familiar, and the occasional pop culture references and use of slang don't feel at all contrived. VERDICT Raw and never sensationalized, this title is recommended for readers who like contemporary YA fiction with a realistically dark edge.
Simone, Ni-Ni. Dear Yvette. 256p. (Throwback Diaries: Bk. 2). ebook available. Kensington/Dafina. Dec. 2016. pap. $9.95. ISBN 9780758287762. POP
Gr 10 Up –It's 1989, and 16-year-old Yvette Simmons is living in the Douglas Gardens apartment complex in Newark, NJ, with her two-year-old baby, Kamari, and Nana, to whom she isn't related. When Kamari's father tells Yvette that she's been accused of snitching by a former friend, Yvette fights her ex-friend at a bus stop, cutting up her face. Yvette is charged with assault with a deadly weapon, but she takes a plea deal to live with Kamari in a "professional parent home" in Norfolk, VA. Yvette is used to being abandoned by adults. Her mother, a crack addict, has been in and out of her life. After Yvette's arrest, Nana decides she wants nothing to do with Kamari. Even Yvette's old friends won't help her. So the plea deal is her only good option, and she and Kamari live with Ms. Glo and another teen, Tasha. At first, Yvette has her guard up and has several angry outbursts, but over time, she makes friends, has a romantic relationship, and learns to love living with Ms. Glo and Tasha. Simone develops Yvette into a nuanced character who, over time, sees that she can handle her problems in ways that are different from how they're dealt with on the streets of Newark. Many teens will also enjoy the 1980s street slang and fashion references. VERDICT This series installment is sure to be a hit with YA readers who like problem novels, realistic titles, and urban fiction.
Clanton, Ben. Narwhal: Unicorn of the Sea. illus. by Ben Clanton. 64p. (A Narwhal and Jelly Book: Bk. 1). Tundra. Oct. 2016. Tr $12.99. ISBN 9781101918265; pap. $7.99. ISBN 9781101918715. POP
Gr 1-3 –Readers new to graphic novels will be richly rewarded with this series opener about a delightfully quirky duo. Earnest and down-to-earth Jelly the jellyfish is the perfect foil for endearingly airheaded Narwhal. Divided into three tales, the book is light on plot but brimming with a fantastically kid-friendly sense of the absurd, from the friends' first reaction upon meeting each other ("You don't look like any fish I've ever seen, but you do look kind of jelly-ish." "Look...things like you don't exist. I mean what is up with that horn?") to the tale that Narwhal and Jelly spin in their metafictional turn, which has a waffle, a strawberry, and a sea monkey doing battle with a giant robot. The art has a childlike quality, and though Narwhal and Jelly are rendered with simple, thick-lined scrawls, the illustrations are expressive and energetic. Clanton includes just a few panels per page and breaks up some of the action with full-page spreads, resulting in a wonderfully accessible option for kids making their first forays into sequential art. A song ("I am a narwhal/a happy little narwhal!") and a brief section with facts on jellyfish and narwhals are fun additions (kids will be impressed to learn that the narwhal's tooth can be up to ten feet long and that the marine mammal can live 90 years). VERDICT An utterly enchanting start to a series that's bound to be popular among young readers. Readers moving on from Mo Willems's "Elephant and Piggie" books and Bob Shea's "Ballet Cat" series will adore this undersea odd couple. School Library Journal
Brown, Martin. Lesser Spotted Animals: The Coolest Creatures You've Never Heard Of. illus. by Martin Brown. 56p. glossary. maps. Scholastic/David Fickling Bks. Dec. 2016. Tr $18.99. ISBN 9781338089349. POP
Gr 3-6 –What are a numbat, a zorilla, an onager, a gaur, and a hirola? Readers learn about these unusual animals in this playfully written and witty guide to creatures unknown. Each of the subjects receives approximately two pages of treatment. Page layout is consistent and well organized, with blocks of color drawing attention to the humorous but informative text. Brown offers vivid analogies rather than precise measurements when describing animal sizes; for example, the zebra duiker is "medium dog-size—with skinny legs," while the crabeater seal is "as big as a very tall, fat man—lying down." The subjects inhabit different regions, and tiny maps, occasionally too small to distinguish, identify where they can be found. Among other details are diet and conservation status, derived from the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List. The light, cartoonish artwork matches the tone of the writing. Vocabulary chosen for the glossary continues the fun. Among the terms are more familiar words such as male and female and even the definition of glossary. VERDICT This romp through the lesser-known animal kingdom will inspire appreciation in readers. Highly recommended as an alternative to more traditional works.
Copeland, Misty. Life in Motion: An Unlikely Ballerina Young Readers Edition. 192p. S. & S./Aladdin. Dec. 2016. Tr $19.99. ISBN 9781481479790. POP
Gr 4-7 –Although Copeland didn't begin her ballet training until the age of 13, she transcended the competition in just five years' time and became a professional dancer at the American Ballet Theatre. Despite Copeland's extraordinary natural talent, her dance career has not been an easy one. In this young readers edition of her 2014 autobiography, she relates her experiences growing up in a low-income, single-parent family and recounts the custody battle between her mother and her dance teacher. Copeland goes on to describe the challenges of her life as a professional ballerina, most notably her isolation as a black artist in a predominantly white field. She writes that "some people still notice [her] skin color before they notice [her] talent" and that others "simply don't believe brown girls have a place in classical ballet." While Copeland's overall tone is conversational, her frank discussion of race is serious and relevant to tween readers. She expresses gratitude for her numerous friends and supporters and recalls her delight at certain opportunities and roles, such as her collaboration with Prince and her landmark performance as the Firebird in 2012. Copeland closes her book by saying that she wants young dancers to "look at what I've accomplished and realize they can achieve this dream, too." VERDICT Copeland's story will interest, inform, and inspire budding ballerinas and deserves a place in every library that serves middle grade readers.
Groovy Joe: Ice Cream & Dinosaurs/José el Chévere: Helado y dinosaurios. 6 min. Dist. by Weston Woods. 2016. $59.95. ISBN 9781338090284. POP
PreS-Gr 1 –Groovy Joe is one happy dog, and why shouldn't he be? He has his guitar and his doggy ice cream. Life is good. But wait—who's that charging through the door? A dinosaur. What's Joe going to do? Will he panic? Will he run? Of course not, he'll share his ice cream. And he'll do the same with the next dinosaur…and the next …and so on. This is a lively presentation of Eric Litwin's book. Narrated and sung by the author, this will have youngsters groovin' and movin' as Tom Lichtenheld's cheery illustrations are animated. The video includes Spanish and English versions as well as read-aloud options. Is it almost exactly the same formula as "Pete the Cat?" Yes. Does it blatantly pander to the intended audience with rhyme, repetition, music, ice cream, and dinosaurs? Of course. Does that matter? Not a whit. VERDICT This will be a surefire hit with younger kids and their parents and a good way to throw a splash of movement and music into any storytime.–
Supertruck. 5 min. Dist. by Weston Woods. 2016. $59.95. ISBN 9781338090338. POP
PreS-Gr 1 –Stephen Savage's Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor title receives prime treatment in this presentation. All the trucks in the city do their jobs and, in their own ways, save the day. Some are flashier than others, though. The garbage truck, for example, performs a necessary job with little fanfare. However, when a snowstorm hits and snow piles high, other trucks are stuck until the garbage truck throws off his glasses, puts on his capelike snowplow, and, as his secret superhero alter ego, digs the city out. Lively, triumphant music and expressive narration by George Newbern combine with beautifully done yet simple animation of the original digital illustrations' clean and crisp lines. The DVD includes a 10-minute interview with the author/illustrator, aimed at an older audience, that is amusing and enlightening. VERDICT This is a video that calls to the hearts of the intended audience with its simplicity, superhero theme, and underlying message of unsung service. Combine this with Virginia Lee Burton's Katy and the Big Snow for a fun story hour when the snow begins to fall.–
Wild Kratts: Wild Reptiles. 100 min. Dist. by PBS. 2016. $12.99. ISBN 9781627896924. POP
Gr 1-4 –In this PBS series, brothers Martin and Chris Kratt explore natural habitats of animals all over the world while focusing on the incredible "creature powers" of a variety of wildlife. Besides being educational, each segment also has a villain or some situation that the Kratts and their helpers must try to defeat or solve. After a live-action portion, each episode transitions into animation when Martin and Chris ask a "What if?" question, which leads to adventure. In "The Gecko Effect" episode, audiences will learn about the intricacies of the lizard's amazing feet. On a trip to the Everglades in "Crocogator Contest," the gang wonder about the differences between crocodiles and alligators, and this quickly turns into a contest to see who can discover the most facts. With lots of kid appeal, this DVD will encourage viewers to take a closer look at their environment and the creatures that live there and to find ways to make a positive impact on their own habitat as well. VERDICT A surefire selection for public libraries.–
So are we.

Blue Heelers: articles
Heelers bids a gentle farewell
MELBOURNE viewers can bid a fond farewell to home-grown police drama Blue Heelers on Sunday, June 4, when the 510th and final episode goes to air.
But, as our sneak preview photograph indicates, the Seven Network series will not end in a hail of bullets or a bomb explosion.
"We didn't want to blow everyone up," producer Gus Howard said. "It is a gentle grounding. It felt like the right thing to do."
When the final episode was made, the future of the show had not been settled.
"We didn't know whether we were going to be renewed," Howard said.
"Although it was done in a way so we pick things up if we came back, it ties up the loose ends -- the crime is solved, the station is closed."
The episode also brings some closure for Tom Croydon, played by Gold Logie winner John Wood. And there is an unexpected twist involving disgraced copper Adam Cooper (Damian Walshe Howling).

Over the past couple of many years, Silicon Valley has been responsible for inventing and reinventing every kind of gadgets and technologies: the music player, the phone, the watch, the TELEVISION and the pc itself. Current trends suggest that the automotive trade is perhaps subsequent on Silicon Valley's disruption listing. Here's the thing – yep, I used to be very very irresponsible after I was 18 and racked up somewhat credit card debt, and have since been working on it. This is ONE OTHER thing, who're you, as a VP of a company to sit here and say things like this to folks? I am ABSOLUTELY not the only individual on the planet with less than stellar credit and it is not like I used to be out searching for a automobile for the shits and giggles of it…mine broke down, and I was in a bind. Do you say things like this to individuals after they apply to your financing firm and they have less than excellent credit score? I see credit score experiences on daily basis, and instead of RAGGING on people about how UNHEALTHY they are…I tell them how they are often helped.

Eaton's new-for-2018 digital limited-slip differential provides mass, fuel-consumption, and packaging benefits over typical AWD while enhancing car dynamic management. A quick question though. Where is the alternator located? Did they should take something out of the engine compartment with a purpose to install it? It's possible that if they needed to take things out to be able to access the alternator, then they might not have tightened issues again down fully after they put the whole lot again collectively.
However is Teague overlooking what cars used to imply in comparison to immediately? Possibly you would be glad it wasn't your father's Oldsmobile, however would you feel the same approach about many of the other makes? In any case, American Graffiti helped revive the traditional automobile shows for a purpose—as a result of folks instantly remembered how particular person so many vehicles had been. It's hard to imagine the identical form of nostalgia for a few of immediately's vehicles.

We are overjoyed to announce that Green Banana Paper is now formally part of the World Fair Trade Organization! It is a great honor to join this global network of people "Working Together for a Fairer World." Fair Trade and social responsibility are deeply rooted in Green Banana Paper's core values and we are very proud to represent Micronesia in the World Fair Trade Organization.
The World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO) aims to improve the livelihoods of disadvantaged people in developing countries by linking and strengthening organisations that offer just alternatives to unfair trade structures and practices. WFTO members come together in solidarity and mutual cooperation to create an alternative and fairer way of doing business. WFTO is a global network that promotes fair trade and provides forum for the exchange of information to help members increase benefits to producers.
By joining the World Fair Trade Organization, Green Banana Paper is formally endorsing the WFTO Code of Practice and the 10 Principles of Fair Trade as pictured below.
Why Fair Trade?
All of the handcrafted one-of-a-kind Green Banana Paper products are a result of our commitment to create jobs and recycle agricultural waste as a means to responsible economic development for the people in Kosrae.
As a high school teacher, Matt Simpson, the Founder of Green Banana Paper, witnessed that many of his former students were unemployed on the island or working for minimum wage in the USA. Leaving their island home to work in the USA or join the US military is very real decision many people face due to the lack of economic opportunity in Kosrae.
Green Banana Paper is committed to helping to improve the livelihoods of our fellow neighbors, coconut harvesters, fahfah pounders, and island family. As of June 2018, Green Banana Paper employs 28 people at our eco-factory in Kosrae and provides additional income to 100+ local subsistence farmers.

Paragliding in Yunnan is usually in consistent dry sunny weather, high cloud base and breezy valleys. there are no local flying permits or fees required and unrestricted traveling/retrieve on smooth modern roads are convenient of course remote 4x4 trails leading to wonderful hiking trails on ridges do exist for the adventurer in all of us. The main flying site, LTX valley. For intermediate pilots we will be flying in a well-known valley (LTX) with an official takeoff and LZ. It's on a high plateau, grassy mountainous area up to 3200m, terraced and hilly valley floors so expect conditions to suit accordingly. The takeoff, LTX2950 It's a drive up on smooth asphalt road, large groomed, SW facing at 2950msl with house thermal nearby. Many other hike and fly takeoffs are available nearby which can accommodate camp and fly; all within reach of the official LZ#3. The official LZ#3 It's a 4 km glide to the official LZ#3 field with windsock, 2200msl. Baimachang takeoff / XC flights Cross country flights of 30+km can be achieved from this all natural grassy takeoff ile staying within the same LTX valley. Drive up to takeoff. Hike/camp and fly is possible at this location. For explorations further North West we may encounter some big-air and strong thermals. Landing in some more remote valleys will need your attention and skill to make sure everything runs smoothly. Although conditions can be strong, we will manage and decide where and how to fly safely.
The Destination
Nestled deep in the Himalayan foothills, halfway between the tourist hot-spots of Dali and Lijiang, lies the tranquil Shaxi valley, a sun drenched, fertile plain that follows the gentle Heihui River, a lesser known branch of the Mekong. There is no pollution, no airport and no traffic jams, but these are more than made up for by quiet cobbled streets, spectacular local architecture and impressive courtyard homes. Yunnan is a province located in the foothills of the eastern Himalayas bordering with Tibet, where virgin forest and high mountain grassland blankets what - until recently - was one of the planet's most pristine environments. This is the home to three of Asia's mightiest rivers, Yunnan's astonishingly diverse mix of flora, fauna and ethnic minorities have ties and similarities to Tibet towards the North in contrast to Laos, Vietnam, Thailand and Burma (Myanmar) towards the South. Overall, this province has always been an ideal spot for those who like to look backwards and upwards for their earthly paradise. Our main flying area is home to a beautifully preserved traditional way of life that offers a glimpse into a forgotten era. Shaxi has been protected from mass tourism due to its relative distance from popular destinations in Yunnan. But a new highway has made the driving distance from Dali to Shaxi or Lijiang just 90 minutes.
The Experience
We will fly across Yunnan's vast terrain and experience Himalayan remote villages and valleys which you can discover at your own pace or on comfortable time efficient guided tour. The main plan is to enjoy simple Vol Bivouac on 30 km XC routes. We still maintain a standard level of comfort with drive up launch sites and relaxing restaurants at your destination.
XC Expedition
Alternatively, if your need for adventure is big, we can prepare an expedition for a 150 km+ XC Vol Bivouac along an unbroken mountain range, flanked by the Mekong and Salween rivers, up to the edge of the main Himalayan range.
This can be a mixed tour. We will stay in hotels, which are plentiful in towns on the way to our flying spots or, wilderness tenting can be decided upon considering our location and weather. While on our Vol Bivouac expedition, we will stay under shelters or using tents.
Your Host: Michel
Michel is your host for this tours and will take care of everything during your trip. Furthermore the host knows everything about this trip and will provide you will all information needed.

Now for those that say they can't figure out how to use one, here are a few really, really simple ones that I have used in vignettes in the past. Maybe this will help give you some ideas.
You can't get any easier than a hurrican filled with corks next to a wine basket display. So use your hurricanes and figure out something to put inside and create a vignette using it.
This was actually an outdoor lantern and came with a glass insert to shield the candle from the wind, however, with the glass removed, it became a cloche. I have filled this with all kinds of things.
So think outside the box and figure out what you have to use as a "Cloche" and join the party. Can't wait to see your imagination at work.
Don't forget, mark your calendars for Feb.11th. Our Cloche Party will replace Table Top Tuesday for that week.

Yes, even #LITbabes run the Boston marathon, and some of these babes are the most incredible women we've had the opportunity to work with. Just take a look at Sarah Blougouras, she's running in the marathon this year AND it's her first marathon… ever! #LITbabes are bold, what can we say?
Keep reading to learn how to achieve ultimate #LITbabe goals from Sarah, and find the ways you can contribute to her amazing cause, the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute!
LIT: How have you been preparing for the big day?
Sarah: I have been training since the end of December. My husband and I run during our lunch breaks during the week or after work at night and do a "long" run every Saturday morning. This weekend we will be running 16 miles! Our plan is to get up to 20 miles by the end of March. I also go to spin classes or Orangetheory to cross train on the days that I'm not running.
LIT: How are you feeling about it being so close now?!
Sarah: EXCITED!! And Nervous, but mostly excited. I can't wait to run the marathon on April 16. I've been dreaming of this race for many years and to be so close to accomplishing this goal is an incredible feeling. The level of interest and support I have received throughout this fundraising and training process has been indescribable. My husband is also running on the DFMC team and to accomplish this goal together will be amazing.
LIT: Why did you decide to support the Dana Farber Cancer Institute?
Sarah: Running the Boston Marathon has been on my bucket list ever since I attended the 2013 Boston Marathon. This is probably my most ambitious bucket list item and I cannot imagine running for an organization other than Dana Farber. I lost both my grandfather and grandmother to cancer. Cancer touches everyone in one way or another and when I heard of the incredible fundraising Dana Farber was doing through the marathon, I knew I wanted to run on the Dana Farber Marathon Challenge team. DFMC is one of the most recognized charities at the Boston Marathon due to the level of commitment from everyone at Dana Farber and every runner who participates in this incredible challenge. The level of commitment that is shown is reflective of everyone's desire to conquer cancer by enabling cancer research to continue.
About the Dana Farber Cancer Institute
The Dana-Farber Cancer Institute is a dedicated, state-of-the-art treatment center for patients of all ages. They support over 450,000 patient visits a year with a staff of over 4.500. They're best known for blending their practices between research and clinical experience by behaving like cancer does: smart and relentless. Sounds a lot like our incredible #LITbabe Sarah.
Even though Sarah has family flying up from the south to cheer her on, we know all our best #LITbabes will be there to support her too! But in the meantime, contribute to the amazing cause on behalf of Sarah here:
