Access, Diamond Mobile Apps To Run Side-By-Side
Customers are at the center of the Access Bank, Diamond Bank merger to create a leading outfit. Diamond Bank customers will lose nothing under the new arrangement. Access Bank will bring to bear on the deal its commitment to customers, financial inclusion, sustainability, corporate expertise, and strong balance sheet.
Both banks' Mobile Apps will run side-by-side until when they become so much alike that their 13 million customers will not bother about their integration.
Globally, business combinations are seen as the surest route to achieving greater impact and giving customers the more values and enhancing profitability for the entities.
The merger deal between Access Bank Plc and Diamond Bank Plc, which will be concluded in April, presents great benefits to customers especially in the deployment of technology in providing banking services.
Based on the agreement reached by the boards of the two financial institutions, Diamond Bank shareholders would receive
The offer represents a premium of 260
"Together, we will bring the power of banking to millions across Nigeria, focused on speed, service, and security. We are determined to ensure that both Access Bank and Diamond Bank customers will experience no disruption to normal banking services while we join forces to create Nigeria and Africa's largest retail bank by customers. While there may be some changes in due course, we are committed to
Executive Director, Personal Banking, Access Bank Plc, Victor Etuokwu, had during a media briefing in Lagos gave insight on what the future looks like for both lenders.
He said: " It is a merger of two big banks to meet the needs of customers. We are going to run the mobile Apps of both banks side-by-side until when they will look alike, and when eventually integrated, customers will not even know. We know that Diamond Bank Mobile App is a market leader and we will leave it that way and same thing applies to the Diamond Extra".
Continuing, he explained that where there are two close branches of both lenders, the customers will be the ones to determine which one will be closed, based on performance.
"If we have two branches like in Gbagada, Lagos, we will keep both of them open for one or two years. Then we will see where the customers go. Our customers will decide where they want to go. For us, we believe that the customer is king, and this merger is about giving the customer the best of services and value," he stated.
Findings also showed that existing Diamondxtra customers have nothing to worry about as the reward scheme is not changing and winners will continue being paid while new winners will continue to emerge.
Besides, Diamond Bank customers can now enjoy instant borderless banking from any Access Bank branch.
"When they walk into any Access Bank branch and initiate payment in their local currency, the beneficiary will receive an instant direct credit to their account or cash in their local currency. This service is available in all Access Bank subsidiaries – Nigeria, Ghana, The Gambia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, Zambia
Financial analysts said some other objectives behind mergers of the banks include increasing customer base and expanding into new activities.
Another important advantage of
Announcing Access Bank as the preferred bidder, Diamond Bank's Chief Executive Officer, Uzoma Dozie, said the potential merger of the two banks would create Nigeria's and Africa's largest retail bank. He added that the transaction, to be completed in the first half of the year, is in the best interest of all stakeholders.
Dozie also stated that the completion of the merger is subject to certain shareholder and regulatory approvals, adding that the proposed merger would involve Access Bank acquiring the entire issued share capital of Diamond Bank in exchange for a combination of cash and shares in Access Bank via a Scheme of Merger. Based on the agreement reached by the boards of the two lenders, Diamond Bank shareholders will receive a consideration of N3.13 per share, comprising N1 per share in cash.
Dozie said the transaction would include the allotment of two new Access Bank ordinary shares for every seven Diamond Bank ordinary shares held as at the implementation date. He said the bank's shares would be absorbed into Access Bank at the completion of the merger and Diamond Bank would cease to exist under Nigerian law.
" The board of Diamond Bank believes that the proposed combination of the two operations provides an exciting prospect for all stakeholders in both businesses," he said.
Access Bank CEO speaks
Access Bank Plc Group MD/CEO Herbert Wigwe said the bank has a strong acquisition and integration track record.
Speaking to the conclusive acquisition of Diamond Bank, Wigwe said the banks involved have complementary operations that will ensure benefits for customers of Access Bank and Diamond Bank. "Access Bank has a strong track record of acquisition and integration and has a clear growth strategy," Wigwe said via a joint statement with Diamond Bank.
"Access Bank and Diamond Bank have complementary operations and similar values, and a merger with Diamond Bank, with its leadership in digital and mobile-led retail banking, could accelerate our strategy as a significant corporate and retail bank in Nigeria and a Pan-African financial services champion. Access Bank has a strong financial profile with attractive returns and a robust capital position with 20.1
Stakeholders speak on the deal
Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) Director-General, Muda Yusuf, said the first gain of the takeover is that Diamond Bank has been saved from going under and the economy protected from the consequences of such occurrence.
"Today, the good thing is that depositors fund is safe. Some of the employees are not likely to lose their jobs since it is acquisition, and that is good for the economy. If Diamond Bank had failed completely, there would be systemic effect. In terms of foreign perception, acquisition or merger is better than bank failure," he said.
Yusuf, however, advised shareholders to be more active in knowing how their banks are run. "Shareholders should provide effective oversight to ensure that their investments are protected," he said.
Also, former Diamond Bank's General Manager, Richard Obire, said Diamond Bank has such a brilliant brand name and customer base and these are what Access Bank will inherit. "The name Diamond Bank is gone forever and the next will be integration, which will lead to exit of the bank's management team."
Former President/Chairman of Council, Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria (CIBN), Okechukwu Unegbu, said the process of takeover of Diamond Bank was an improvement from what happened at defunct Skye Bank.
According to him, the decision is a proactive step when compared to that of Skye Bank because Diamond Bank investors will even gain in the new arrangement.
"I think that shareholders of Diamond Bank did not lose much. Whether it is merger or acquisition between the two banks, the fact is one big bank is better than two weak banks.
"With this development, one expects a strong, virile and capable institution in the future that will equally protect the interest of the investors," he said.
He, however, said the CBN should institute new measures that ensure that people who violate banking rules are punished. "The CBN is the regulator and is expected to monitor and punish some of the recklessness of some of the banks and their managing directors. Banks' boards should be held accountable. Again, there should be extra-ordinary shareholders' meeting to approve the acquisition and possibly plan for a seamless integration process," he said.
Michael Azu, a Lagos-based financial analyst, said the acquisition would boost stability and investors,w adding that it was a welcome development instead of allowing Diamond Bank to face regulatory sanctions and possibly liquidation for its poor liquidity positions.
"The merger has helped to protect investors' and depositors' confidence. It has ensured that depositors' funds are protected from undue risk, and also removes the issue of systemic failure in the financial system," he said.
Diamond Bank's position
Diamond Bank had earlier announced its decision to drop its international operating licence to focus on national operations following capitalisation issues.
Dozie said: "The re-licensing as a national bank supports Diamond Bank's objective of streamlining its operations to focus resources on the significant opportunities in the Nigerian retail banking market, and the economy as a whole," he said in a statement.
"The move follows Diamond Bank's decision to sell its international operations, which included the disposal of its West African Subsidiary in 2017 and Diamond Bank UK, the sale of which is currently in its final stages.
LivewithLynda Announces Most Watched Nigerian Ads; Union Bank's Enabling Success Commercial Tops The List.
Those who have seen the impressive Enabling Success short film by Union Bank might not be surprised to learn it emerged the "most viewed Nigerian Ad' in a recent review by advert critic, LivewithLynda.
The TV commercialhit 3 million views on YouTube a few days ago, less than 5 months after its 2018 Independence Day release. By crossing the 3 million viewership mark, the commercial now stands as the most watched Nigerian advert on Youtube. It's interesting to note that these figures do not include the millions of views it has also gathered across different social media platforms.
Some of us kind of saw it coming, though. That TVC is a fine work of Art!
The inspiring 2-and-a-half minute film beams the spotlight on different aspects of the Nigerian society, highlighting the need for people to hope and work for a better future.
Viewers have smiled, applauded and even shed a few tears as they identified with the characters of the commercial. From a taxi driver battling societal forces that threaten his fledgling business, to a youth corps member hoping for a better future; from a photographer wishing for better social amenities to a young mother struggling to balance her career and the home front.
The commercial painstakingly paints the daily struggles and disappointmentsof the average Nigerian and firmly reiterates Union Bank's commitment to support the people in their bid to rise above the odds and live more successful, fulfilling lives.
Unlike the typical bank advert which focuses on marketing the institution's products and services, the short film communicates strong themes of introspection, perseverance, healing and hope of a better future for Nigeria and her people. The commercial has continued to gather positive reviews across board.
An entirely indigenous production, the television commercial was co-ordinated by Image & Time brand agency, shot by Nigerian-owned Lighthouse Television and Filmworks and was filmed in various cities across Nigeria.
If you have not seen the short film, you really should do so. Watch it here.
Google, UBA Collaborate To Provide Free Wi-Fi To Customers
Africa's global bank, United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc has collaborated with Google and ISP partner to launch Google Station in 11 key UBA branches in Lagos State as part of plans to roll out 200 stations in the country.
Google Station, a platform for providing free, high-speed Wi-Fi hotspots in public places, began in Lagos last year, and extended to Abuja in December in partnership with Backbone Connectivity Network.
This google-powered initiative would allow customers access to internet connectivity within the 11 branches and its environs, thereby facilitating their day-to-day businesses and activities, while ensuring unhindered connectivity.
The 11 branches where the hotspot will be located are: UBA Bank Road, 810-811 Bank Road, Daleko; UBA Matori, 21 Fatai Atere street; UBA Surulere, 152 Ogunlana Drive; UBA Allen, 13 Allen Avenue, Ikeja; UBA Tisco Plaza, Alausa; UBA Apapa, 11-13 Warehouse Road, Apapa; UBA Marina, 55 Marina, Lagos Island; UBA HQ, Broad Street, Marina; UBA Lekki Admiralty; UBA Oke Arin and UBA Aspamda Plaza, Trade Fair.
At the official launch which took place in UBA's Head Office on Wednesday, UBA's Executive Director/ Group Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Chuks Nweke, expressed UBA's excitement over the collaboration, adding that the move will go a long way to present opportunities far beyond the imagination of both organisations.
He noted that the challenges of financial inclusion which the USSD platform has not been able to solve will be eased through the Google Station, as the financially excluded will now be able to access the internet and enjoy the services provided free of charge.
He said, "It is an interesting platform which will ultimately benefit everyone. It is a win-win for everyone. Customers will have ease of doing businesses, especially with the growing use of smart phones, and the 52 million Nigerians who have otherwise been financially excluded will now have access to data through this collaboration and can carry out their transactions with ease.
"Interestingly, SMEs, who previously had challenges with funding can now do other things which they couldn't achieve before, such as accounting services and others. Also, UBA recently launched an educational app, and so, students will be able to use these Google Station platform to carry out their necessary research from the comfort of their homes, it is an awesome opportunity with benefits for everyone which we are presenting to our customers in line with our customer 1st philosophy.
Group Head, Marketing, UBA Plc, Dupe Olusola said in addition to the 11 locations, the organisations are looking to expand beyond the shores of Nigeria to other African countries where UBA operates. She added that by the collaboration, the initiative will help ease the burden off customers while also presenting them with opportunities to excel beyond boundaries.
Google Station is a simple set of tools to roll-out Wi-Fi hotspots, and aims to provide fast and reliable Wi-Fi in more places where more people spend time, such as bus stations, shopping malls, airports and public transit stations.
Specifically, the Wi-Fi service is available free of charge and partners leverage Google Station's business model, which enables venues, system integrators, businesses and ISPs with access to fibre to setup, maintain and monetise their Wi-Fi networks.
Google Nigeria's Country Director, Juliet Ehimuan-Chiazor noted that the institutions remained focused on providing internet services to users for free.
She said, "With the help of our partners, we are offering high-quality internet access in heavily-trafficked areas like airports, markets, malls and bus stations throughout the country, especially in areas where there were no internet connections before.
"Even with the amazing progress on expanding mobile internet, we are finding that public Wi-Fi remains a crucial step in getting free, high quality internet to everyone," she explained.
Josh Woodward, Director, Product Management, who spoke generally on the benefits of the high-speed Wi-Fi hotspots in public places said the collaboration will aim to solve a basic need and allow customers access to connectivity to assist them in their day-to-day businesses and activities.
He said, "Deploying Google Station in collaboration with UBA and 21st Century is an important step to connecting the next billion users. As a result of the locations enables us to be up-and-running in no time. Even more, their WiFi signal ensures connectivity to Google Station hotspots so users can do a lot of things online and be constantly connected."

I thought I'd put down a little list of my top 10 things I do with my Arduino boards at home. I've been experimenting a lot with ambient circuits, up cycling and things like that so you could say that these things are skewed towards that kind of thing.
- Ultrasonic Sensors – be careful with these, I bought a pack of 4 from a dodgy supplier and the MAX232 chips had a bug which causes them to overheat rapidly and they get hot enough to burn stuff. You can use these in a lot of things, I'm currently using two as the eyes for a small robot I built to keep the cat occupied.
- PIR Sensors – these are cheap and cheerful little blighters. Ambient circuits usually require some kind of human interaction, so ultrasonic and PIR are both decent ways to do that. Depending on how you direct them and mix them they can become quite an human interaction tool.
- Bluetooth HC-06 – With speeds up to 250kbps the HC-06 is perfect for fast remote serial ports which can be accessed easily from a computer or android device. The HC-06 unlike the HC-05 is reprogrammable, you can hack it in various ways messing with it's internal setup for the serial port. This is the fastest and easiest way to add a radio to a remote device that I've found, and I've tried NRF24's, RF12's, Wifi shields and other means. These are certainly in the category of just works(tm).
- WS2811 RGB LED Strip – Unlike the 2801 the 2811 has individually addressable LED units, whereas the 2801 has 2 LEDs per controller. It works well with the FastLED library and lets you separate the LEDs onto individual faces of a 3D shape. They're also significantly cheaper than BlinkM's are and much easier to obtain in large quantities.
[auction-affiliate tool="lister"]
- Gyroscope – If your project has any moving parts, it's a good idea to put an accelerometer in there, it can give you feedback in interesting ways. Very useful to have on around.
- MSGEQ7 – With no particularly easy way to say it, it's an equaliser IC this little chip will take a sample of audio and tell you the value of it on 7 different frequency bands. It's useful for doing things like defining colours to be illuminated in time with music and things of that nature. Microphones will need a little amplifier to get them working but it's a genius little chip.
- DHT11 – Another favourite of mine is the DHT11, temperature and humidity. You can connect these up to one of these mini arduino+rfm12b boards and you've got a thermometer and humidity sensor anywhere.
- RFID Kit – This cheap and cheerful RFID kit can be used in all kinds of ways, creating proximity based installations or interactive spaces where each object in the space has it's own unique ID.
- Motor shield – There are tonnes of motors laying to waste because they're not re-used, I collect them up and put them to work when I need one so a motor shield is always useful to have. Obviously you can always bang something together with a few transistors, but a decent motor shield for testing is always handy.
- Screw shield – always handy to have around a screw shield can save a lot of time when prototyping.

Pre hospital Care:
The goals of pharmacotherapy are to reduce morbidity and prevent complications.
1>Acute pain related to headache and muscle and joint aches as manifested by general discomfort of head,joints,and muscles,apathy,grimacing and movement.
2>Hyperthermia related to infection and abnormal temperature regulationby hypothalamus from increased ICP as manifested by increased temperature and chills.
3>Decreased sensory perception related to decreased LOC as manifested by inaccurate interpretation of environment,signs of fear and anxiety ,disorientation and restlessness.
4>Ineffective therapeutic regimen related to possible sequalae of condition as manifested by motor or sensory problems and activity limitations
5>Potential complications.
Seizure activity related to cerebral irritation.
Encephalitis, an inflammation of the brain parenchyma,.This is characterized by abscess formation. This is a serious condition sometimes even fatal
Cerebritis describes the stage preceding abscess formation and implies a highly destructive bacterial infection of brain tissue, whereas acute encephalitis is most commonly a viral infection with parenchymal damage varying from mild to profound.
- The etiology of encephalitis is usually infectious, but may be noninfectious, such as the demyelinating process in acute disseminated encephalitis.
- Infectious etiologies: Viral agents, such as HSV type 1 and 2 (almost exclusively in neonates), VZV, EBV, measles virus (PIE and SSPE), mumps, and rubella are spread through person-to-person contact. Human herpes virus 6 may also be a causative agent.
- Ticks and mosquito transmits epidemic encephalitis
- Non epidemic encephalitis can occur as a result of complication of chicken pox or mumps.
- Bacterial pathogens, such as Mycoplasma species and those causing rickettsial or catscratch disease, are rare and invariably involve inflammation of the meninges
- Encephalitis due to parasites and fungi
- Encephalitis due to Toxoplasma gondii.
- The CDC confirmed that West Nile virus can be transmitted by means of an organ transplant and via blood transfusions.
- Herpes simplex virus encephalitis
- Artropod borne virus encephalitis
- Fungal encephalitis
1. Portals of entry are virus specific. Many viruses are transmitted by humans, although most cases of HSE are thought to be reactivation of the herpes simplex virus (HSV) lying dormant in the trigeminal ganglia. Mosquitoes or ticks inoculate arbovirus, and rabies virus is transferred via animal bite. With some viruses, such as varicella-zoster virus (VZV) and cytomegalovirus (CMV), an immunocompromised host is a key risk factor.
2. The virus replicates outside the CNS and gains entry either by hematogenous spread or by traveling along neural (rabies, HSV, VZV) and olfactory (HSV) pathways.
3. Once across the blood-brain barrier, the virus enters neural cells, with resultant disruption in cell functioning,
4. Perivascular congestion, hemorrhage, and inflammatory response diffusely affecting gray matter disproportionately to white matter.
- History collection and physical examination-History collection usually includes the history of intake of any immunosuppressive drugs,immunosupression associated with AIDS,occupational and travel history may indicate fungal infestation.
- Infections caused by H Capsulatum and C Immituswill demonstrate fungal antibodies in the serological tests
- The CSF will show high white cell and protein levels,glucose levels are decreased.C Neoformans are identified in CSF culture.Candida is also identified from CSF cultures
- MRI is indicated to detect hemorrhage,abscess or inflammation.
Pre hospital Care:
- Evaluate and treat for shock or hypotension. Administer a crystalloid infusion until the patient is euvolemic.
- Consider airway protection in patients with an altered mental status.
- Consider seizure precautions. Treat seizures according to usual protocol (i.e., lorazepam 0.1 mg/kg given intravenously [IV]).
- Stabilize alert patients with normal vital signs by administering oxygen, securing IV access, and providing rapid transport to the ED.
- With the important exceptions of HSE and varicella-zoster encephalitis, the viral encephalitides are not treatable beyond supportive care. Treatments for T gondii and CMV encephalitis are available but generally not initiated in the ED.
- The goal of treatment for acutely ill patients is administration of the first dose or doses acyclovir with or without antibiotics or steroids as quickly as possible.
- The standard for acute bacterial meningitis is the initiation of treatment within 30 minutes of arrival.
- Consider instituting an ED triage protocol to identify patients at risk for HSE.
- Collect laboratory samples and blood cultures before the start of IV therapy. Even in uncomplicated cases of encephalitis, most authorities recommend a neuroimaging study (eg, MRI or, if not available, a contrast-enhanced head CT scan) before LP.
- General measures: Manage fever and pain, control straining and coughing, and avoid seizures and systemic hypotension.
- In otherwise stable patients, elevating the head and monitoring neurologic status usually are sufficient.
- When more aggressive maneuvers are indicated, some authorities favor the early use of diuresis (eg, frusemide 20 mg IV, mannitol 1 g/kg IV) provided circulatory volume is protected. Dexamethasone 10 mg IV q6h helps in managing edema surrounding space-occupying lesions. Hyperventilation (PaCO2 30 mm Hg) may cause a disproportional decrease in cerebral blood flow (CBF), but it is used to control increasing ICP on an emergency basis.
- Intraventricular ICP monitoring is controversial because some authorities believe dangerous focal edema with a pressure gradient between the temporal lobe and the subtentorial space usually is not detected by the monitor, leading to a false sense of security. In fact, monitor placement may potentially aggravate a pressure gradient.
- Medical management is usually directed at the causative organisms.
- Seizures are controlled by standard antiseizure medications.
- Increased ICP is controlled by repeated lumbar puncture and shunting of the CSF>
- Antifungal agents are usually administered.Eg.Amphotericin B. IV.Common side effects are fever,chills body aches,hypotension and renal insufficiency.
- Fluconazole is administered in combination with Amphotericin B.The potencial side effects are nausea vomiting etc..The leucocytes and the platelet count should be monitored cautiously
The goals of pharmacotherapy are to reduce morbidity and prevent complications.
- Antivirals:The goal of the use of Antivirals for HSE and varicella-zoster encephalitis is to shorten the clinical course, prevent complications, prevent the development of latency and/or subsequent recurrences, decrease transmission, and eliminate established latency.
- Acyclovir (Zovirax)Has demonstrated inhibitory activity directed against both HSV-1 and HSV-2, and infected cells selectively take it up.
- Corticosteroids:Anti-inflammatory agents used for treatment of postinfectious encephalitis and acute disseminated encephalitis. These drugs are commonly presented as treatment alternatives, though supporting data are limited.
- Dexamethasone (Decadron, Dexasone)Used to treat various allergic and inflammatory diseases. May decrease inflammation by suppressing migration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes and reversing increased capillary permeability
- Nursing measures for the early identification of ICP
- Administration of non opiod analgesics,limiting the environmental stimuli and positioning the patient.
- Administration of Diphenhydramine (Benadryl)and acetaminophen 30 minutes before giving amphotericin B may reduce flu like symptoms.
- If renal insufficiency develops the dose should be monitored.Increasing levels of serum creatinine and BUN indicates renal insufficiency
- Provide psychological support to the family members and the patient
- Community support to the patient and the family
- Mosquito control should be practiced,including cleaning the rain gutters,removing old tyres,and removing water where mosquitoes can breed ,insect repellants should be used.
- If cerebral edema is there diuretics(mannitol)and corticosteroids (Dexamethasone) are used to control it.
- In the initial stage many patients requires intensive careFor maximal benefit antiviral medications should be used before the onset of coma
- Seizure medications should be used before the onset of coma.
- Prophylactic treatment with antiseizure medications
1>Acute pain related to headache and muscle and joint aches as manifested by general discomfort of head,joints,and muscles,apathy,grimacing and movement.
- Administer mild analgesics as prescribed,assist patient to position of comfort in the bed to relieve pain.
- Encourage gentle motion and leg exercises to reduce joint stiffness and to reduce joint stiffness and to promote circulation.
- Massage muscles as needed or requested to promote comfort and to show a caring attitude
- Control environment to encourage rest because pain can be exhausting to the patient
2>Hyperthermia related to infection and abnormal temperature regulationby hypothalamus from increased ICP as manifested by increased temperature and chills.
- Assess the temperature of the client
- Carryout general measures to control fever
- If prescribed a hypothermia blanket to reduce the fever because an elevated temperature increases brain metabolism and increases the risk of seizures or increased ICP
- Reduce temperature to prevent shivering. Which can cause a rebound effect and arise rather than lower the effect.
- Administer medications as prescribed by the physician
3>Decreased sensory perception related to decreased LOC as manifested by inaccurate interpretation of environment,signs of fear and anxiety ,disorientation and restlessness.
- Assess the LOC to determine extent of the problem
- Administer sedative medications as ordered to reduce fear and anxiety
- Keep room quiet and lights dim,use calm,reassuring approach to avoid stimulating or frightening the patient.
- Assist and support patient during uncomfortable or frightening diagnostic procedures.
4>Ineffective therapeutic regimen related to possible sequalae of condition as manifested by motor or sensory problems and activity limitations
- Monitor for residual effects of the conditions such as vision,hearing activity and cognitive problems to determine appropriate referrals
- Inform patient and others that residual problems often improve overtime to reduce anxiety.
- Arrange for postoperative care if required so that patient needs are met.
5>Potential complications.
Seizure activity related to cerebral irritation.
- Monitor for seizure activity so that interventions can be started immediately
- Keep the side rails up and padded up to protect if a seizure activity occurs
- Administer sedatives and antiseizure drugs if ordered by the physician
- Reduce fever to decrease brain s oxygen demand
- Carry out interventions to treat underlying causes of inflammatory brain condition to prevent seizure activity

Fortunately, for the man known as Harold in the WWE and Mason Andrews in TNA, his time outside of televised wrestling was short-lived. Championship Wrestling from Hollywood made their product more widely known when they debuted on MAV TV at the beginning of May.
It is shown weekly on television that the character of Scorpio Sky takes wrestling very seriously. However, the man behind the character, Schuyler Andrews, see this as an opportunity to display all facets of his game to the world.
"What we are doing is different, that's why we call our group the Experience. You watch the show, you sit and enjoy the matches, you have a good time," Andrews told SLAM! Wrestling. "But when my music hits, you see the beautiful woman walk out. Christian Cole struts out in a dapper suit. Big Duke walks out snarling at the crowd and then myself, the centerpiece of it all, you know you are experiencing something different. It's magical. It's like a dance club, a fight camp, a rock group! It's the Experience."
Andrews brings out the flare of a showman in Scorpio Sky, and the showstopping atmosphere continues into the ring. While the character may be played up a bit for the cameras, Andrews aims to bring oohs and awes in the ring with hard-hitting realism.
"I always try to bring that big fight atmosphere to my matches. There's nothing like a big fight. The excitement, the uncertainty, the mystery of what may happen," Andrews said. "A great part of the person you see in the ring is just me. I truly love fighting, I train and have competed in boxing and MMA. Christian Cole is my advisor in real life. What you see is pretty legit and I think my realism comes through. The fans know I'm the real deal. At the same time, I always try to make what I'm doing fun. Fans have a good time watching me."
So does Dave Marquez, the man behind Championship Wrestling From Hollywood. "Sky has more charisma than he knows what to do with, and that makes for a great talent. And since we produce television its an incredible quality to have," said Marquez. "Once we have an idea and once its pitched Sky always has great suggestions to plus the idea and once he has his head wrapped around it, the execution is usually a home run."
Andrews further elaborated on his no-nonsense style, describing the impact of some of the sister sports to professional wrestling on his technique.
"I grew up watching Muhammad Ali tapes, so he's a hero of mine. Around 1993, I started watching the Ultimate Fighting Championship and was blown away. I trained off and on growing up in karate and a little boxing. I probably watch some form of boxing or mixed martial arts every day, just studying styles and techniques. I'm a student of the game. It only feels natural using these things in wrestling. When I started doing it back in 2003, it wasn't as common as it is now. It's fun to play around and see what works and what might not."
This isn't the first go-around on television for Andrews. While he may not have been a centerpiece in the limelight of WWE or TNA, Andrews managed to learn some invaluable lessons during his time in the "big leagues.
"One of the cons of being on the big leagues is you don't always get put in a position where you can show your best. That's not their fault. You're lucky just to be there, no matter what they have you doing you should try to make it work," Andrews explained. "At WWE, Harold would not have been my first choice to debut as. It would not have been my second, third, or even fourth choice! But it's an opportunity. I just took it, tried to have fun with it, and tap into something I haven't shown before. I think it worked to a certain extent."
Andrews also elaborated on some of the brighter points of the big time. "The pros are obviously the visibility. The combination of the TV time teamed with fans having the ability to search you online after just grows your fanbase tremendously. Being able to learn off guys like William Regal, D'Lo Brown, and so many others can't do anything but up your game. I think I've grown so much as a performer over the last year or so just having access to those minds pushing me that much further. The money doesn't hurt, either!"
"I think I've grown not so much as a wrestler, but an overall performer. I use my mind more now. Anybody can go out and do flips to make the crowd cheer. When I was younger I always tried to do something different every match, and I am blessed with athletic ability so it was easy for me," Andrews said. "Nowadays. there are great athletes on every show, so you have to bring more to the table. Having the complete package is more difficult. I shoot for covering all the bases from wrestling, character, the walk, the talk, the swagger, and sometimes I hit it. Sometimes I fall short. It's something you never stop working at."
London was hard-pressed to find anything to improve upon, but he managed to offer this bit of advice: "If anything, if I was to say something to Scorpio, it would just be, 'Really develop character. Work on some characters for yourself.' As silly as that sounds. It just goes to show, physically he's not really lacking anything. Talent-wise, he's really exceptional."
When the show closes up for the night and the proverbial mask is taken off behind the curtain, every spectator will take away a unique experience from the show they just saw. While some only turn it up for the big, raucous crowds, others will perform the same way for handfuls or for thousands. In closing, Andrews made it clear which group he belonged to.
"I want to be remembered as someone who always delivered quality. Somebody who always made you forget about whatever else you had going on in your life at the time and completely pulled you in by the moment."

Liberty, in philosophy, involves free will as contrasted with determinism. In politics, liberty consists of the social and political freedoms enjoyed by all citizens. In theology, liberty is freedom from the bondage of sin. Generally, liberty seems to be distinct from freedom in that freedom concerns itself primarily, if not exclusively, with the ability to do as one wills and what one has the power to do; whereas liberty also takes into account the rights of all involved. As such, liberty can be thought of as freedom limited by rights, and therefore cannot be abused.
Philosophers from earliest times have considered the question of liberty. Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius (121–180 AD) wrote of "a polity in which there is the same law for all, a polity administered with regard to equal rights and equal freedom of speech, and the idea of a kingly government which respects most of all the freedom of the governed." According to Thomas Hobbes, "a free man is he that in those things which by his strength and wit he is able to do is not hindered to do what he hath the will to do" (Leviathan, Part 2, Ch. XXI).
The Female Boss is the debut studio album by British singer and former N-Dubz member Tulisa. It was released on 3 December 2012 via All Around the World and Island Records. The album's artwork was revealed on 6 October 2012 via Tulisa's official Facebook page. The Female Boss originally was to be released on 26 November but was pushed back by one week. It incorporates hip hop, dance and R&B styles while enlisting a variety of producers; The-Dream, Fazer, Stereotypes, Rico Love, Diane Warren and Ed White, among others. The album features guests appearances from British rapper Wiley, American rapper Tyga and Nines. Three singles preceded the album's release; the lead single "Young" peaked at number 1 while "Live It Up" and "Sight of You" peaked within the top 20 of the UK Singles Chart.
Upon its release, The Female Boss has received generally negative reviews from most music critics, with many critics panning the themes, intro of the album, production and some lyrical content, while some critics felt the dance songs were highlights. Commercially, the album opened with poor sales, debuting at number 35 on the UK Albums Chart and number 55 in Ireland.
"Freedom" was a 1995 song released on Mercury Records featuring a chorus of over 60 African-American female artists and groups of note in hip-hop, pop and R&B music including Aaliyah, Vanessa L. Williams, Mary J. Blige, MC Lyte, Coko, En Vogue, SWV, TLC, and Monica. It is a cover of Joi's song of the same name from her 1994 album The Pendulum Vibe. Both versions were produced by Dallas Austin.
The all-star recording of both the song and solemn black-and-white video for "Freedom" took place directly after the American Music Awards in 1995. According to its promotional single's liner notes, the song was a tribute to women of the past like Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, Rosa Parks, Coretta Scott King, Shirley Chisholm, and Angela Davis who played major roles in black resistance, as well as the empowerment of women of the present.
"Freedom" is a cover of a song originally performed by underground R&B singer Joi on her acclaimed 1994 album The Pendulum Vibe. The song was re-recorded as the official theme for the award winning film Panther. The song was produced by Dallas Austin and Diamond D, "Freedom" reached the top twenty of the Billboard Hot 100 in 1995. The song featured female R&B singers, who at the time were popular acts in R&B and/or Pop music. The vocals were arranged by former Vertical Hold singer Angie Stone, and Me'Shell Ndegéocello contributed bass guitar as well.
Angst is a 1928 German-British silent drama film directed by Hans Steinhoff and starring Gustav Fröhlich, Henry Edwards and Elga Brink. It is based on the 1925 novella Fear by Stefan Zweig. The film was a co-production between Germany and Britain, with the British star Edwards included to give the work greater commercial appeal in the British Isles.
Inge Duhan (Brink), a wealthy wife, begins conducting an affair, only to find herself blackmailed by another woman.
Klinik, (sometimes called The Klinik), is an industrial music band from Belgium, originally formed around 1982 by electro-synthpop practitioner Marc Verhaeghen, who is the only constant member.
Marc Verhaeghen originally formed Klinik in the early-to-mid 1980s; the exact date varies depending on the source. The group is normally described as one of the most influential Belgian industrial bands in history.
In 1985, Verhaeghen joined forces with two other bands, Absolute Body Control (with Dirk Ivens and Eric van Wonterghem), and "The Maniacs" (Sandy Nys) to form one "super group" "Absolute Controlled Clinical Maniacs". This rather unwieldy name was soon dropped in favour of the shorter name "The Klinik". Nys soon left the band to form "Hybryds", followed in 1987 by van Wonterghem, leaving The Klinik as the "classic" duo of Dirk Ivens and Marc Verhaeghen.
The Klinik soon made a name for themselves with their cold and harsh EBM sound and their live shows, where both Ivens and Verhaeghen performed with their heads wrapped in gauze, wearing long black leather coats. Ivens' hissing vocals and minimalist lyrics were complemented by Verhaeghen's synthesizer skills and distorted trombone playing. This however, did not last forever; after Time, an album neither member was fully pleased with, musical differences became too great, and they decided to go their separate ways. In a 2013 interview, Ivens said the due were moving in different directions musically, and that compromise between only two members was challenging.
Fear is a thriller/horror/suspense film. It is directed by Rockne S. O'Bannon and stars Ally Sheedy, Pruitt Taylor Vince, Michael O'Keefe, Lauren Hutton, Keone Young, Stan Shaw, Dean Goodman, Don Hood and Jonathan Prince.
Cayce Bridges (Ally Sheedy) is a psychic gifted in a form of remote viewing and empathy/telepathy that allows her to mentally link with murderers enabling police to catch them. That is until she encounters the mysterious and elusive Shadow Man (Pruitt Taylor Vince), who is not only similarly blessed, but is more powerful than she is.
Originally intended for a theatrical release, the film made its premiere on Showtime on July 15, 1990.
The film has been released on DVD by Lions Gate as a double feature with Parents. Both films are presented in widescreen.

Since our childhood, most of us have been hearing various mantras and shlokas. Ever noticed most of them have "AUM" in them? Although AUM symbolizes the profound concepts of religious belief, it is used daily. The Hindus begin their day or any work or a journey by uttering AUM. The symbol is often found at the head of letters, and at the beginning of examination papers. Many Hindus, as an expression of faith and belief, wear the sign of AUM as a pendant. What makes this word and its invocation so important?
Beauty of Symbol: With its threefold nature, special shape and unique sound, AUM lends itself to a variety of detailed symbolic interpretations.The symbol of AUM consists of three curves, one semicircle, and a dot. The lower larger curve symbolizes the waking state (Jagrat). In this state, the consciousness is turned outwards through the gates of the senses. The larger size signifies that this is the most common state of the human consciousness. The upper curve denotes the state of deep sleep (Sushupti) or the unconscious state. This is a state where the person who sleeps neither desires nor beholds any dream. The middle curve 3, which lies between deep sleep and the waking state, signifies the dream state (Swapna). In this state the consciousness of the individual is turned inwards, and the dreaming self beholds an enthralling view of desires. The dot signifies the fourth state of consciousness, known as Turiya. In this state the consciousness looks neither outwards nor inwards, nor the two together. It signifies an utterly quiet, peaceful and blissful state, the ultimate aim of all spiritual activity.
Finally, the semi circle symbolizes illusion (Maya) and separates the dot from the other three curves. Thus it is this illusion that prevents us from the realization of this highest state of bliss. The semi circle is open at the top, and when ideally drawn does not touch the dot. This means that this highest state is not affected by Maya. In this manner, the form of AUM represents the hidden and the manifest.
Music of Sound: Because the three-syllable AUM is a sacred sound, its pronunciation is open to a rich logical analysis. The first letter A is regarded as the primal sound. It is produced at the back of the open mouth, and is therefore said to include, and to be included in, every other sound produced by the human vocal organs. Indeed A is the first letter of the Sanskrit alphabet. The open mouth of A moves toward the closure of M. Between is U, formed of the openness of A but shaped by the closing lips. Here it is interpreted in relation to the three curves; the three syllables making up AUM are susceptible to the same metaphorical decipherment. The dream state (symbolized by U), lies between the waking state (A) and the state of deep sleep (M). Indeed a dream is but the compound of the consciousness of waking life shaped by the unconsciousness of sleep. AUM thus also encompasses within itself the complete alphabet, since its utterance proceeds from the back of the mouth (A), traveling in between (U), and finally reaching the lips (M).
Now all alphabets can be classified under various heads depending upon the area of the mouth from which they are uttered. The two ends between which the complete alphabet oscillates are the back of the mouth to the lips, both embraced in the simple act of uttering of AUM. This is like locking the door to the outside world and instead reaching deep inside our own selves, in search for the Ultimate truth. But over and above the threefold nature of AUM as a sacred sound is the invisible fourth dimension, which cannot be distinguished by our sense organs, restricted as they are to material observations. This fourth state is the unutterable, soundless silence that follows the uttering of AUM. The blissful and non-dual state this is the state symbolized by the dot.
Innumerous Logical Derivations: According to Indian spiritual sciences, God first created sound, and from these sound frequencies came the phenomenal world. Our total existence is constituted of these primal sounds, which give rise to mantras when organized by a desire to communicate, manifest, invoke, or materialize. Matter itself is said to have proceeded from sound, and AUM is said to be the most sacred of all sounds. It is the syllable which preceded the universe and from which the gods were created. It is the "root" syllable (mula mantra), the cosmic vibration that holds together the atoms of the world and heavens. Indeed the Upanishads say that AUM is God in the form of sound. Thus, AUM is the first part of the most important mantras in Buddhism, Jainism and Hinduism. The threefold symbolism of AUM is comprehensible to the most 'ordinary' of us humans, realizable both on the intuitive and objective level. This is responsible for its widespread popularity and acceptance.

In our class we are readind a boook called "Dead Man's Head" about a mischievous group of kids. In the the story they go to a cheese factory and eat hot milk powder and they have to scrape it off their teeth. My question is, how do you turn milk into milk powder? This question has made our class stumble for quite a while and we were wondering if you know how this happens.ReplyDelete

Wall display: These are a set of different prints on canvas that, when combined, create a dynamic composition on your wall. The main benefit of choosing a wall display rather than purchasing multiple different prints is that they are designed to go together, and the total cost will be much lower.
Split canvas: This option allows you to have one photograph split over three or four canvas to create an interesting arrangement of prints that go together on your wall.
Collage: Rather than purchase an individual print for each photograph, you can choose to have a custom collage of pictures printed onto a canvas. A collage consists of up to 20 different photographs, and you will have the option to choose between different templates to create your own design.
What options do I have to send my photos?
Wall Display:
You can upload the photos during the order process, email them or even send your hard copies. To clarify which photo should be used for which canvas we ask that you clearly name the photos with file names that correspond with the wall display you have selected.
Collage Canvases:
Due to the large number of images, please email the photos to us. You may name the files to clarify the order you would like them used or leave it up to our photo editors. Start with 1 for the top left image and go from left to right, top to bottom. You may modify the preview before printing, up to 3 times free of charge.
There are always limitations, but we try to be as flexible with our customers as possible. We do offer suggestions to our customers for finding the best quality photos that they have available.
1. For portraits, we suggest choosing the most flattering photographs possible. Though we do some photo editing, we cannot change the way somebody looks in a picture.
2. Choose higher resolution pictures. Anything lower than 100 KB is unlikely to have the detail needed for a quality print.
3. Look at all aspects of the picture, such as the background, to determine whether there is anything that might detract from the overall print. Busy backgrounds often do not make good art. If you would like a different background, or to have objects removed, include this information in the comment box and we will work with you to create the best image possible.

Attack of the American Women
|One day Saddam Hussein was walking in the desert and he stubbed his toe on some hard object. He bent over to pick it up and a Genie popped out.
"Oh great," Saddam said, "I don't have time for this Genie nonsense."
"Oh wait," said the Genie, "You have to let me grant you three wishes or I'll be trapped in that stupid lamp for another ten thousand years."
"Ok" said Saddam, so he wished that the Genie would give him three American women.
So the next morning when he woke up, after the Genie had realized who this man was and after the Genie had granted the wishes, Tanya Harding, Garcella Bevoux, and Hillary Clinton layed next to him. His knee was bashed in, his penis was gone, and he had no health insurance.

I'm digging this music by Street Gnar, a nice blend of a half-baked Kraut-rock groove & classic psychedelia. Case Mahan (aka Street Gnar) has been releasing stuff on great labels like Night People & Eggy Records for a little bit now but I'm only getting my first taste with "East Quiver."
Using some familiar tools (samples, guitars, drums) to create some heady daydream music. The video itself seemingly captures this spaced quality by using sped up footage taken from moving subways trains, bikes, skateboards, swings and other such events which allow for such shifted perspectives of time. At only two and a half minutes the song too seems to defy time, making me wish it was twice as long.
Street Gnar's Poking The World With A Stick is available now via Night People & for free on his bandcamp.

Vegetarian Bento
I've been making bento for myself almost everyday for the last couple of months,
My new company is Japanese and a lot of co-workers bring Japanese style bento for lunch.
I have a lot of bento boxes. One of my favorites is this wooden one. My husband bought this for me when we visited Japan. It's a little hard to take care, but it keeps rice fresh and yummy I think.
I love making character bento, but I also like Japanese traditional bento.

new petrol cars manufactured in 2009 averaged 42.7 miles per gallon
The AA Route Planner is celebrating its centenary year with its 1.5 billionth online route. The route that marked the service's 1.5 billionth request was to Gatwick airport, perhaps not that surprising as Gatwick Airport is the overall most popular destination.
The service has seen many changes in its 100 years, which began with early AA Patrols providing motorists with information about the shortest routes for their journey.
From these informal beginnings an elaborate organisation was developed which was able to supply details about every stretch of road in Britain. From 1912, the AA was able to furnish its members with routes by mail, responding to their demand arising from a general lack of directional signposts on the country's roads.
Until the early 1920s, routes consisted of a set of handwritten cards, each giving instructions for the route between two different points with details of places of interest along the route.
With the introduction of printing in the 1920s, more than half a million printed routes were being compiled every year.
If a member wanted directions to a specific address the compilers would have to hand write the final section which was then typed up and added to the route sections
Gerry Knight, AA routes compiler
Gerry Knight, who worked on the AA Route Planner from 1969 to 2009 remembers: "The route compilers would have to pass the 'Knowledge' similar to that of London taxi drivers, for the whole of Britain. Smaller routes sections were compiled and printed onto cards. When a member wrote in to request a route the compilers would select the relevant route sections and piece them together to form the completed route. If a member wanted directions to a specific address the compilers would have to hand write the final section which was then typed up and added to the route sections.
"This was all then stapled together and sent in a yellow cover to the member. Route compilers would go out and travel each route section to check that the details were correct. Today the compilers have tablet PCs and travel around noting the signage and details for all the roads in the UK and Ireland."
The next major advancement came during the 1980s when the Home Routes Service was fully computerised and thousands of printed route sheets were transferred. This meant that routes could be generated automatically without the need for staff to 'pick' and collate each route.
In 1999 the online AA Route planner was launched and, today the AA Route planner is averaging 20 million route requests per month. Prior to its online launch, the AA mailed an average of 250,000 routes to members each year, but the AA online Route planner now delivers over twice as many routes on an average day.
This has helped motorists travel more than 175 billion miles. This amazing distance is the equivalent of driving around the world more than 7 million times, or circulating the M25 1.5 billion times.
AA routes can be planned throughout the UK and Europe, and its popularity has seen requests increase by a staggering amount since its online launch in 1999.
In 2010 the AA route planner app was launched, with more than 100,000 downloads in the first two years.
The most popular tourist destinations now are Alton Towers, Thorpe Park, O2 Arena, Paultons Park and Longleat, while the overall the most popular destinations are Gatwick and Heathrow Airports.
The top 10 is:
The AA Route planner continues to evolve and is continually enhancing features for motorists, for example, supplying road signposting information, AA Hotels and a street view service.
We pride ourselves in responding quickly and effectively to customer feedback plus updating new road construction schemes and other useful road enhancements
Nigel Phillips, AA Routes network manager
The AA's Routes Network Manager, Nigel Phillips comments: "The popularity of AA Route Planner has grown enormously and is a fantastic achievement. We pride ourselves in responding quickly and effectively to customer feedback plus updating new road construction schemes and other useful road enhancements. We believe that the AA's 100 years' experience of detailed research in providing this service means we are the experts."

The angle isn't the only assembly problem with this 2 part model, the left forearm has a peg, which fits into the body. This peg is much too shallow to provide a strong bond so I had to file off the peg and replace it with a pin. There are two pre-drilled holes for pegs in this miniature. (I've inserted pins in them in these pictures so you can see their placement.) The right hand hole seems to be for a peg on the back of the right hand, but there is no such peg on my model.
I drilled the holes deeper and inserted pins in them so I could position the hands and gun without final gluing. My plan was to paint body and gun separately, but since I was changing the angle of the gun this turned out to be impossible. Because I've adjusted the angle more to my liking the pin in the right side of the body proved useless to me so I removed it and glued the right hand to the body.
Here is my progress so far.
I hope you guys find this helpful.

Toy Fair comes to a close buff.ly/2NcUW9R https://t.co/YvRQeUK81R
Oh good grief, I love people with too much time on their hands on the weekend.
I was swamped this weekend with working on numerous projects, and only caught the briefest of glimpses of a brewing controversy on Twitter. For those of you unfamiliar with the microblogging site, if you want to have a running conversation on a subject, you use a thing called hash tags. Well, the hash tag #motrinmoms popped up this weekend in relation to a new ad campaign started by Motrin. You can see the ad embedded below.
As I was going through my RSS feeds tonight, Duncan Riley at The Inquisitr posted a great piece about his thoughts on it, and he got me to researching it. It only took me a few minutes to come to the conclusion that this, like so many things people get worked up over, is much ado about nothing.
What gets me more than anything is that the people who are irked can't even agree as to why they are offended by it. Some say it is because it implies that mothers who wear their babies are doing it for fashion or for their egos. Others say it is the part where is says "Supposedly, it's a real bonding experience." Well, to that part, I can tell you bluntly, unless your kid has said 'Oh thank you mother, I feel so much more bonded to you now', then guess what, "supposedly" is the correct word. You can mention all the studies you want, but your kid could be a lot quieter simply because you just keep jostling them with every step.
As to those who are offended by the fashion angle, while I am sure some parents do it for bonding or other reasons, I can also tell you I have seen numerous parents that truly do it for fashion. They pay no attention as their child's head rolls around at dangerous angles right in front of them, or the child is on their back putting everything they can get a hold of into their mouth. So, yes, I am afraid to tell you, there are many parents out there that aren't doing it for the "bonding" experience.
I fully realize that 99% of my blog entries deal with me complaining about something, but I would like to think that usually I am at least somewhat constructive. In this case, these offended #motrinmoms are demanding an apology from Motrin, claiming they will never buy the brand again and discussing how there should be boycotts of the brand, the ad agency and everything else.
In this day and age, is there really anything that can be said in an ad that won't end up offending some random group of people? Doubtful. The energy being expeneded in this whole ranting and raving could be used in about a million other constructive ways, or you could just ignore the ad and go on about your day. Demanding an apology from the company is just flabbergasting to me, it's not like they have some how offended a minority or ethic group, they have "offended" a group of people who choose a way to carry their child. True, Motrin could have picked any way of carrying a child as the source of your back pain, because, guess what, moving a child from place to place is not easy work! Be it on your hip, pushed in a stroller or some other way I am not even be familiar with, children can hurt your back.
If we keep up this culture of being offended at everything out there we will soon have ads that are black words of the brand name on white backgrounds with nothing else being seen. Course, that will last until the Mauve Lovers of America get offended at the lack of mauve in advertising.
In short… get over it folks. Not just the people offended by Motrin, but in general. Every sub-culture of a sub-culture that gets offended by some random word. Grow a thicker skin and move along.

What does it mean to be a better writer? Do I teach you how to make a perfect cursive Z? Lorna?"
"There's, like, grammar and stuff, and then there's knowing what to write."
"True. So at least two ways of becoming a better writer. First, the actual quality of your written expression: be it grammar, vocabulary, varied sentence structure. Second…..?"
"So like how you say it and….what you say?"
"That works. Okay, so let's take it as read that you will learn the rules of grammar and punctuation and get a higher score on that section of the rubric."
"And will learning more vocabulary make me a better writer?"
"Sure, if you internalize the vocabulary knowledge. It's not something you can do with a test score."
Saba: "Yeah, but if I do better on tests I'll have more vocabulary."
"You will? Huh. Let's put that aside for a minute. How do you know what to write?"
Alan: "That's what I was going to ask! How does a better vocabulary help me know how to analyze literature?"
"It doesn't. What do you need in order to analyze literature."
"I need to know how to analyze, what to analyze."
"And now we come to my favorite mantra. You are saying, Alan, that you are happy to learn how to write, but you don't know what to write."
"Yes!" the whole class is nodding.
"Which leads me to some terrible news. Writing is thinking."

- A tailor needs nine yards of fabric in order to make a suit of clothes. Fancy!
- This refers to a particular type of ship: a three-masted vessel with each mast having three yards (horizontal support bars) to support the sails. Ship ahoy!
- An industrial cement mixer holds about nine cubic yards of cement in its drum. That's a lot of cement!
Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable adds a few more possible inspirations for the phrase:
- The length of a hangman's noose or rope could be nine yards. Seems a bit long to me...
- The length of a Spitfire's ammunition belt is supposedly nine yards long. That's a lot of ammunition, but these WWII Spitfires were around at least fifteen years before this phrase started popping up.
Both sources go on to say that none of these seem to be the best fit, and that all that is really known is that the phrase originated in 1960s America. The ever resourceful Snopes.com has even more to say on the subject.
Ever the bibliophile, I checked our Books in Print subscription out of pure curiosity. Sure enough! There's a children's book by Dallin Malmgren, a romance by Donna Valentino, and a book of poetry by Daniel Hoffman; all are titled The Whole Nine Yards. While these books may not shed any more light on the matter (all three were published in the last thirty years), I'd be willing to bet that they'd make for interesting reading!

Institution for creation research.......Apparently he doesnt understand what bias is either.Mark you do understand that it is possible to just copy a paragraph from the text google it and see where its from right?
And this organization cant get certification from the texas board of education because nobody that runs this place is qualified to teach anything scientific......kinda says something......
all those books based on scientific fact prove creation of the universe by God. how many different theories are there on how the universe was came about? none have been proven as fact. The bible has one fact on who and how the earth was created. It has never been disproven. It is a logical answer to the question on how the universe was created. The only problem with the fact is people refuse to believe that God created the universe. scientists have not been able to replicate any of God's creations the same way He did. All the theories are being used to disprove God's existence and the fact that He created the universe. Any of those theories may have been the way He created the universe, but the absence of acknowledging the role of God in any creation theory science comes up with , confirms the fact those theories are only used to dismiss the existence and fact that God created the universe.

Burger flipper!
The bible has not been proven wrong. There is only one God.
The commandments, remember?
How many gods were there in greek mythology?
where are they now?
God knew what He was going to create and how He would do it. He did not create living things to evolve over time to what they are now.
Adam was an adult when God created him.
All the animals on earth were fully developed
when created and when they entered the ark.
the complexity of everything in the universe demands a Creator. The human eyeball for example. how does it focus and adapt to day and night?
why is the sun the exact distance it needs to be to warm the earth but not burn it up?
God created time,
based on the sun and the moon.
How can pictures travel to a tv set, sound to a radio?
There is too much in the universe to assume it all just occurred.
There had to be a God to create all.
All the ingredients to be used to try to prove any theory, where did they come from?
It all boils down to what a person chooses to believe. Belief in God also has ties to morality.
If people choose to believe God created the universe, they must also accept His rules for living.
Those that believe there is no God and the universe happened via any of the theories, do not have to follow or accept rules for living other than man's law.
It is much easier to deny there is a God and to follow or not follow, man's laws.
To believe in God would require a change in behavior, something many choose to not do.
a theory is an unproven opinion. facts are just that, facts.
you confirmed God created the universe! LOL LOL there is only 1 God , not 3. Who did Jesus pray to?
100's of gods in greek mythology? LOL LOL Prove it.
The bible is the inspired word of God, f you knew the bible inside and out like you say you do you would know that!
no, why is the sun the exact distance it needs to be to warm the earth but not burn it up??the other planets are irrelevant.
you missed the point ....again. how are images transmitted to the tv or sound to a radio, you can't see the signals, yet they are there. Just like God. You can't see him, but you see His creations yet deny His existence.
belief in God does have ties to morality and rules for living. If you knew the bible inside and out like you say you do you would know that!
the ones that assume the universe just "happened" are the asses. that is your club! LOL LOLall the ingredients were created by God.
so you are back to slamming Christianity? LOL LOL This is the backlash to Christianity I predicted when you stated you were taking a stand FOR Christianity! LOL LOL
you sure ask a lot of stupid questions for a college student,
if you are in college as you say you are. did you take a census of the jail for religious preferences?
You should really read what you are writing before you post it! LOL LOL LOLmaybe let your son post for you? He would be more mature and make better sense!
which verse states the triune God?
westboro? LOL LOL LOL show me where I have made christianity similar to westboro? LOL LOL
that link isn't about pulaski county jail. you asked about the pulaski county jail and how many atheists were in it
"No if you knew it and didn't just justify it you would know that every man on earth today is more just than your god." ? LOL LOL
that isn't the complete list of the 100's of gods in greek mythology? Let's see the list! LOL LOL
everything around you is physical evidence of God. You are choosing to deny it!
so you are back to bashing God and christianity again? despite your statement that you were taking a stand for christianity? LOL LOL How can you take a stand in something you don't believe in!
only the sun is warming the earth. no planets are blocking it. why is it the exact distance it needs to be? you are the one not answering questions, because you can't! LOL LOL LOL
if that energy is eternal, it had to be created by God , Whom is eternal!
get back on the midol or meds, dr jeckyl or mr hyde. whoever you are today
those are all "ideas" or groups of ideas and thoughts. unproven opinions or "questions" to begin a research project. theories are not important as they are unproven, facts are! LOL LOLfollow this; hypothesis premise thesis antithesis synthesis. this is what results in a fact , or a theory that has not or cannot be proven!
The more extreme creationists claim that the whole universe is around 6000 years old. Now this gives us a problem that they have trouble solving: that of constellations. Since the speed of light can be and has been very accurately measured, it should not be possible to see objects that are farther away than 6000 light years. Obviously we can do so, but let us forget that since it is obviously a satanic scheme anyway. From the days that the oldest cosmologies were recorded, it is perfectly clear that the ancients saw the same constellations that we do today. However, since those ancient observers were only a thousand or two years from the date of creation, the light from the stars farther away than 1000-2000 light years could not have been seen. Between then and now, the light from the stars 2000 to 6000 light years away would have arrived and altered the patterns of the constellations. History should have records of ever-changing constellations. However, they are exactly the same as when first recorded, meaning that the age of the universe 4000 years ago was insignificantly different from its age today.I guess that that means that all stars are closer to the Earth than 1000 light years, and that measurement techniques such as stellar parallax are just the devils lies.
Of all those credentials I still fail to see one that has anything to do with a biology degree..you know what is needed to be able to explain evolution.

Dog, Cat, and Human
Posted by Nyanko on 3:15 PM in animal, Japanese culture, news
In Tokyo, I went to watch a movie after the meeting, which name was "Dog, Cat, and Human".
This movie shows the current situations about dogs and cats in Japan.
The movie starts from the scene that an old woman visited the director and asked him to film the movie about the situations around dogs and cats, animal control and animal welfare in Japan.
She had worked with rescue of stray and abandoned cats for more than 40 years, but she was old and she knew she wouldn't continue that work, so she decided to appeal people about poor dogs and cats here by making a movie.
Then, the director started the work, but he had not been interested in animals ever before and he didn't have any ideas about the problem of dogs and cats, so it took 4 years to research and make the film.
Though he knew the very sad and poor facts here and there, but he doesn't focus on the poor side, doesn't emphasize the terribly conditions, he only showed the facts in detached tone and he never said who or what was bad.
That's why I liked this movie.
I'm an official worker in charge of animal control in the municipal government.
So I know these situations the movie showed very well, and I know how hard it is to accept dogs and cats only to destroy them like some of the official workers in this movie do.
The reason why I started to help TNR is not only for cats, but also for my job.
I don't want to accept kittens next year, so I catch the cats and bring to the vet clinics 100km from my home almost every week (it's cheaper anyway).
A woman in the movie said in anger "why Japanese people throw away their dogs and cats in the mountains or river sides easily?", but it's because they know the animals will be destroyed when they were brought to the animal control offices, so people choose the chance in a million that they could survive instead of apparently death, though it's quite wrong ideas in fact.
They should know their acts are only to avoid their responsibility and to suffer abandoned animals longer until terrible death, without food, attacked by crows, or hit by car,etc.
I don't know what impressions people who watched this movie had, but if someone wanted to help abandoned cats or spay/neuter their cats after watching the movie, it's great!
Anyway, I believe the situations are getting better a little by little every year.

I got two.
Ladies and gentlement, Ken Lowery gives us:
Ken has his fingers in a lot of internet pies, most notably the web series The Variants and possibly my all time favorite twitter feed ever, The Fake AP Stylebook.
Which leads me to the question, should I put a © or a an ® after HGP Fun BucksTM?

Finally, the AdR collection at H&M. The collection that I waited with a lot of enthusiasm. I couldn't get to the launch of the collection, so I arrived in the afternoon and, to my amazement, only a few products remained. However, I was very happy that I found the bracelet which I wanted very much.
I hope you enjoy the accessories as much as I have.
Love, Nadejda.

The Mission : to search out some cool vintage and alternative fashion stores before next August 7th's get together of vintage and alternative shoppers.
So armed with a multitude of layers for the cold and a very big hot chocolate it was off to the city to pick up AK. Of course we just had to check out our usual haunts like Retrostar, Shag, Route 66 and a couple of others in the city CBD. Then a much needed break out at our cool little hang out Groove Train to see Ms Midnight. Plus as a special geek bonus I got to meet the members of the Fighting 501st Star Wars group. Ok so not vintage but as I am trying to make/find a Mara Jade costume for the next Star Wars event (yes light saber is on order) it was so cool to meet a member and be able to chat with them. If you have ever watched the doco "Heart of the Force" you will understand why I think these guys are so amazing.
How cool is this hot chocolate Ms Midnight made for me, and yes it was super yummy! Then after a much needed break it was off to South Melbourne for inspection of the op shops and South Melbourne market. And of course DIM SUM!!!!
The results was..... ok so we found some good things which means there are more options for the August get together. Plus LOTS of planning on where the group will meet and most importanly travel and shop! So all in order a rather good planning day.
A big thank you to Ms Midnight for her much needed treats, to Brad and Amy for all their Mara Jade info, and for AK to be open to walking around various alley ways and indulging my weakness at the GPO.
See you all soon at the get together!
See you all soon at the get together!

Programs Are Very Large
With an ELF compiler ("What's All This about ELF? glibc?"), the most
common cause of large executables is the lack of an appropriate .so
library link for one of the libraries you're using. There should be a
link like libc.so for every library like libc.so.5.2.18.
With an a.out compiler the most common cause of large executables is
the -g linker (compiler) flag. This produces (as well as debugging
information in the output file) a program which is statically
linked--one which includes a copy of the C library instead of a
dynamically linked copy.
Other things worth investigating are -O and -O2, which enable
optimization (check the GCC documentation), and -s (or the strip
command) which strip the symbol information from the resulting binary
(making debugging totally impossible).
You may wish to use -N on very small executables (less than 8K with
the -N), but you shouldn't do this unless you understand its
performance implications, and definitely never with daemons.

Peter Nero ~ As Good As Ever!
Jeanie Eilertsen | Beautiful Oregon | 06/23/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Peter Nero's Greatest Hits now digitally mastered on CD is as great as the LP ever was! Familiar but still thrilling overtures from our past. Nobody gets the rhythm or titilating piano any better than Peter Nero!"
Good but it is too short
Jmark2001 | Florida | 11/30/1999
(4 out of 5 stars)
"Peter Nero played the piano with great taste. This album is good but is way too short with only ten selections. Still, so little of his work is available on cd that this will have to do for now."
Fundamental issue in your collection !
Hiram Gomez Pardo | Valencia, Venezuela | 10/21/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)
"This album has many peaks . Nero plays mixing rhytm and lyricism ; feeling and nuance ; elegance and personality . Recommendable for those special moments with your beloved couple , or perhaps you want to be alone or just working .
Something , the Summer of 42 and you've got a friend are the best tracks ."

There are few things as satisfying as a high-yielding dividend stock. Though one thing that comes close is an ice-cold soda.
Fortunately, when it comes to Coca-Cola (NYSE:KO), income-seeking investors can have both. As Motley Fool contributor John Maxfield discusses in the video below, there are at least three reasons that the nearly 130-year-old company's stock fits the bill.
In the first case, its payout ratio is a generous yet still reasonable 61%. This is important because it leaves room for both organic share price appreciation and future dividend growth. Second, Coca-Cola's price-to-earnings ratio is 21.84, or roughly in line with the broader market, suggesting that it's neither wildly under- or overpriced. And third, at 3%, the soda company's stock yields far more than the S&P 500, which comes in at 1.93%.
Want to learn more? Check out the following video, in which John delves deeper into the reasons that dividend investors love Coca-Cola.
