Remarketing for Search is an amazing product that now allows you to utilize remarketing audiences in search. You can target audiences based around who has or hasn't visited whatever page of your site that you want through different audience strategies. Combine all the various audience strategies with the various keyword strategies you could employ, and you've got yourself quite the list of options! Today, I'll be showing you three strategies to get you started using Remarketing for Search successfully.
Hopefully you've got your site coded with your universal AdWords remarketing tag, so you can build out audiences in AdWords based on URL now. If that's the case, you should be able to see estimated audience sizes for Google Search based on audiences you've already built out. I've found when I create new audiences based on URLs, the estimates for audience size are at least there by the next day.
The first strategy is utilizing special audiences and keyword lists in combination with remarketing for search during special seasonal or sale periods. A perfect example of this is an eCommerce site during Christmas. Think about the product or service you're advertising during this special season. Think about all the super generic terms you could use to describe your product or service or that people could be searching for that could possibly result in a conversion for you. There's a good chance you'd never bid on those keywords because they're so crazy competitive and likely to have low CTR and low conversion rates, right? Well, with Remarketing for Search, you can pre-qualify your audience and actually use these crazy keywords!
Using the example of an eCommerce site during Christmas, you'd want to target keyword lists that are generic for the season and for your items. So, let's say it's a site that sells a wide range of gifts. A possible keyword strategy for them would include "Christmas gifts," "Stocking Stuffers," etc. These keywords are very high volume in terms of searches and high competition during this time.
If you pre-qualify your audience for this campaign to be people who have visited your site, you could see great results. They're already familiar with your brand, so if they hated you before and you make it clear in the ad who you are, they'll likely choose not to click. But if they were semi-interested before, and choose to click over again, they're way more likely to buy.
This also allows you to lead to special landing pages. For stocking stuffers, the landing page could be the most popular items under $15, for example.
Here, I am saying that I want to show ads to all people who have visited my site, and I've set my CPCs to be appropriate for that size/quality of audience. However, if people have put something in the cart and not purchased it, I consider them more valuable and there are obviously fewer of them, so I want to bid an additional 40% to my max CPC.
In the first strategy, I talked about how to target audiences with special keyword lists and modify the bids based on the quality of the audience. In this strategy, I'm going to talk about how to use negative audiences through Remarketing for Search to funnel traffic in your account, allowing you to better target and optimize.
Like the eCommerce site at Christmas in the last strategy, I need an example, so I'm going to use a monthly subscription service site. It's not surprising that this client doesn't want to pay for clicks when someone is currently a paying member. Before Remarketing for Search, I would have just had to block their brand name and hoped for the best, even though that would leave our brand wide open for competitors to bid on and get top ad position.
With this strategy, you can be sure anyone seeing an ad has not logged into your members site in however long you make your cookie live for (I would recommend the max cookie like, here).
This strategy can also work if you're trying to block people who use a part of your site that doesn't make you money. Let's say you have a retail portion to your site, but you also have a careers page. You might want to include an audience that targets your careers page as an exclusion at the campaign level in your branded campaigns. This would prevent any wasted spend where people are searching for your brand just to submit a resume.
In my first strategy, I went over how to develop special Remarketing for Search campaigns to target special keywords and audience combos. In the second one, I went over how to use negative audiences in your regular search campaigns to increase their value. In this third strategy, I'll go over how to use targeted audiences in regular search campaigns to create a hybrid search and Remarketing for Search campaign that improves value through allowing bid modification for audiences.
In this case, I've decided that people who have visited my sales page are more valuable than the general search audience, so I'd like to increase my CPCs by 20% for them. This allows me to set CPCs that are appropriate for the general search audience, but set specific ones for any remarketing audience I'd like, in accordance to their value/quality.
In theory, if you are cool with people who have been to your site clicking on your ads, you could utilize this strategy in all your search accounts.

Manchester United striker Edinson Cavani to leave for FC Barcelona
By Jimit Bhavsar
Posted on Tuesday, 28 December 2021, 7:00 PM IST
Manchester United striker Edinson Cavani has reportedly agreed to join FC Barcelona.
Edinson's contract with Manchester United will end after 6 months. It is likely that the 34-year-old will leave because the club is already looking for alternatives.
According to Marca, Edinson Cavani has chosen to join FC Barcelona instead of Boca Juniors.
Cavani has had a good run with Manchester United scoring 18 goals in 46 appearances. However since Ronaldo has arrived, the Uruguayan has lost his starting XI spot.
On the other hand, Barcelona is looking for a striker, a replacement for Sergio Aguero following his retirement.
How can Cavani help solve the problems created by Barcelona's management?
FC Barcelona's striker options as of now.
FC Barcelona is currently in the worst goal scoring form in the history of the club.
The club's horrible management under Bartomeu and the previous board has created many issues. The old board decided to let go of Suarez stating that he was too old. Just months later, they signed ageing Luuk De Jong who is ineffective and they also signed Depay.
Barcelona sold Suarez to Atletico Madrid for a minute transfer fee and the Uruguayan performed well there. He scored 21 goals in the league with his team winning the title as well.
The Catalans realised their mistake but as of now they only have Brathwaite, Depay and Luuk De Jong available. Both Brathwaite and Luuk are not worthy to be at the club and are likely to leave. Depay on the other hand is a winger, not a striker.
Hence it is possible that the likes of a consistent and clinical striker, Cavani can play at the centre. Barca certainly has many creative players within their squad. The likes of Pedri and Gavi are currently one of the best midfielders in the world.
Cavani operates just like a traditional number 9 and is very skilled at making off the ball runs and curved runs. Edinson is also a great aerial threat and barely wastes any chance to score goals. The Uruguayan is very clinical and can help solve the goal-scoring drought at FC Barcelona for now.

If you haven't noticed it yet, there's a new feature in your iPhone's Facebook mobile app called 'Protect.' For now, it appears to be available in iOS only in the United States, and if you click on it, you will be redirected to the Onavo VPN app's listing on the App Store.
Facebook's Onavo VPN is now available for download under the new 'Protect' feature of the company's mobile app.
If you haven't noticed it yet, there's a new feature in your iPhone's Facebook mobile app called 'Protect.' For now, it appears to be available in iOS only in the United States, and if you click on it, you will be redirected to the Onavo VPN app's listing on the App Store.
Onavo was the Tel Aviv-based mobile data analytics company acquired by Facebook back in 2013. Back then, Onavo's business revolved around optimizing device and app performance as well as battery life on both iOS and Android devices. It also offered data analytics services to mobile publishers to help them keep track of their app's performance.
Now, more than four years after its acquisition, Facebook is making a move to utilize Onavo. While it appears that the rollout is just to test the said feature in the country, many argue that Onavo VPN is only a part of a growing Facebook effort to spy on people's mobile activities and take down its competitors.
Is Facebook Trying to Spy on People Using the Onavo VPN?
According to TechCrunch, this is not the first time that Facebook tested the Onavo VPN under the Protect banner. Back in 2016, Next Web's director of social media, Matt Navarra, tweeted about the said feature from the United Kingdom.
Apparently, Facebook is seriously looking into marketing the said VPN through the mobile app. Not only will it be a useful advertising strategy, its promise to warn users of malicious websites while ensuring the security of their information could boost its number of users.
However, reports claim that Facebook didn't acquire Onavo for its security offerings. Instead, the tech giant is particularly interested in its capability to monitor user activities across different apps. According to an article from The Wall Street Journal, Facebook is collecting and analyzing the data that Onavo gathered from its users.
By doing so, the Zuckerberg-owned company gets an enormous advantage when it comes to spotting new trends on a larger scale. Since Onavo VPN can monitor all mobile activities across different apps, Facebook can check on the online habits of people outside of its social media platform. For instance, Facebook was able to get insights on the declining user base of Snapchat even before the latter announced it last year.
"When you use our VPN, we collect all the info that is sent to, and received from, your mobile device. This includes info about: your device and its location, apps installed on your device and how often you use those apps, the websites you visit, and the amount of data you use.
Facebook has not issued any comment or official statement regarding the matter. To date, Onavo VPN has approximately 30 million installs from both the App Store and Google Play according to Sensor Tower.
Have you tried the Onavo VPN? Will you be using it despite knowing that Facebook utilizes it to monitor people's mobile activities?

LUSH are famous for their bath bombs and soaps but they also sell a fantastic skin care range which includes literally something for every skin type, including some great cleansers.
It has black sugar in which gives it the scrub effect and I really like this because I don't feel I've washed my face properly until I've scrubbed it. The black sugar stimulates and exfoliates the skin. Dark Angels is black due to charcoal. The charcoal is powdered and absorbs any excess oils. Another of the main ingredients is Rhassoul mud which, to be honest, I've never heard of until I used this product. Rhassoul mud is mined from the ground and is great for the skin as it cleanses and removes grease from the skin (great for oily skin).
After one use I noticed that it did really help with oil reduction on my skin (one of my MALE housemates even commented that my skin looked great!) but it hasn't really helped with my breakouts and blemishes.
Unfortunately it's not recommended to use this cleanser more than once or twice a week which is annoying because it is fantastic and it means I have to use another cleanser for the rest of the week. Overall I really recommend Dark Angels for oily or combination skins; it's really helped me I just wish I could use it everyday!!
Have you used any of the solid cleansers? What do you think of them?

Let's Remember The NFL's Greatest Forgotten Coaching Rant
Dom Cosentino
Photo: George Rose (Getty)
Behind the scenes, whenever he might have been shooting the shit or just taking questions from reporters when there weren't cameras around, Jerry Burns had a penchant for weaving curse words into whatever he was saying.
"That was how he talked all the time," Patrick Reusse, the longtime columnist for the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, told me.
Burns coached the Minnesota Vikings from 1986–91. According to Reusse, Burns would generally be a bit more careful with his language during a press conference or whenever there were cameras around, even when he was grouchy. But his postgame presser after the Vikings defeated the Rams on Nov. 5, 1989, was a major exception. On that day, Burns let his foul-mouthed id do the talking.
Certain coaching rants—Dennis Green's "They are who we thought they were" shoutfest, Jim Mora's "Playoffs?!" tirade, Lee Elia's fusillade of fucks, to name three—have long been hardwired into the public consciousness. Burns's meltdown might be well-remembered by Vikings fans of a certain age, but it's largely been neglected by most everyone else. On this, its 29th anniversary (plus three days), Burns's rant deserves to be savored in all its profane glory. Behold:
Burns began by saying a few words about the game. Out of nowhere, he pivoted into this:
"Let me say something: As long as I'm in this fucking job, [Bob] Schnelker will be the offensive coach. There will be no quest—fucking about that. No fucking questions about that. I don't like to name names after a fucking, after a fucking game. But we can't be responsible for the blocking, we can't be responsible for the fucking guys jumping offside, we can't be responsible for fu—we get down there, and it was a dumb play by [Alfred] Anderson. I love Anderson. But it was a dumb fucking play when his shoe was coming off, up to the line of scrimmage, we were hollering to take [a] timeout. We had a fucking trap play called, and his fucking shoe comes off. That ain't Bob Schnelker's fault. We had another fucking trap play, and if [Rick] Fenney picks up his fucking feet, he walks in. We got the fucking pass to AC [Anthony Carter] out there in the flat, and that ball's thrown low. That ain't Schnelker's fault."
Fuck, what an opus of obscenities. It's made all the better by the way Burns sounds as he gets going, from the kinetic agitation that sometimes causes him to trip on his words to the crotchety timbre of his voice to that grandfatherly midwestern accent. Burns dropped 13 of his 18 f-bombs right out of the gate.* There was a long, stunned pause before Star-Tribune reporter Bob Sansevere spoke up to ask sarcastically whether the Vikes, you know, won the game. "I think we did, yeah," Burns answered. (They did, 23-21, but seven Rich Karlis field goals and a rare overtime safety accounted for all of their points.)
What set Burns off was the treatment Vikings offensive coordinator Bob Schnelker was getting from fans and some media, even though the win improved the Vikings to 6-3, putting them in sole possession of first place in the old NFC Central. Reusse outlined some of the backstory in his column the following day:
Before yesterday's game, there was a middle-aged man standing in front of the Dome in the rain, handing out large decals of a slashed circle, with the initials B.S. inside of it. Below, the name Bob Schnelker was printed.
It was what happened inside the Hump that had Burns fuming later. When a sideline shot of Schnelker was shown on the scoreboard, the crowd took note by booing viciously. When the Vikings left the field at halftime, leading 12-7 and having marched for 16 first downs and 228 yards, fans stretched their necks over the railing leading to the tunnel and cursed Schnelker.
Some additional context: Just a few weeks earlier, on Oct. 11, the Vikings had traded a boatload of draft picks to the Cowboys for running back Herschel Walker, a blockbuster deal that hadn't yet morphed into the lopsided swap that laid the foundation for the early-'90s Cowboys dynasty. The Vikings in '89 were pretty damn good, and the acquisition of Walker was sold by GM Mike Lynn as move that would fill a key void for a team with legitimate Super Bowl aspirations. Burns, according to Reusse, did not want to trade for Walker.
"Burnsie thought he was too much of a downhill runner, and that he wasn't a good fit," Reusse told me.
Walker rushed for 237 yards and averaged 6.2 yards per carry in his first two games with Minnesota, but things came to a head after a 24-14 loss at the Giants on Monday Night Football the week before the Rams game. Afterward, Burns benched quarterback Tommy Kramer for Wade Wilson, a Pro Bowler a season earlier who had been injured. Walker had carried the ball just 12 times against the Giants, and the supremely talented wideout Anthony Carter had just six catches in his previous three games. This was how the Los Angeles Times set the scene on the morning of the Rams-Vikes game:
"The Vikings' offense, operated by the independent-thinking coordinator Bob Schnelker, may need some rethinking. How can an offense with wide receiver Anthony Carter and Walker in the same lineup be so ineffective?"
(For the record, the '89 Vikings finished the season ranked 16th in offensive DVOA.)
A football lifer, Burns was 62 years old in 1989; the ex-analyst John Madden once described his heavily lined face by saying, "It looks like you can draw plays on it." A former quarterback at the University of Michigan, Burns spent 12 seasons coaching at the University of Iowa (including five as a head coach) before landing with Vince Lombardi's Packers, with whom he won titles as an assistant in Super Bowls 1 and 2. Burns then latched on as Bud Grant's offensive coordinator with the Vikings in 1968, a job he would hold until he took over for Grant in 1986. Burns had cooked up the offenses for all four Vikings teams that reached the Super Bowl in a span of eight seasons from 1969-76.
"He was really doing a lot of that West Coast–type stuff—throwing to running backs and all that—before Bill Walsh was doing it," Reusse told me.
Reusse said Burns had great affection for "old football coaches," which would explain his loyalty to Schnelker, another lifer who spent nearly 30 years as an NFL assistant for a half dozen teams. During Burns's rant, it was Reusse who brought the conversation back to Schnelker at the 4:12 mark of the video, after Burns had answered several game-related questions. That set Burns off again.
"Yeah, yeah, he felt like shit afterwards," Burns shouted. "Everybody booing the shit out of him—he works his ass off. No smarter a coordinator in football. Fuck, they put his picture up there [on the scoreboard], and the fuckers boo him."
Then, after a pause, Burns bit off one last word, barely above a whisper but loud enough for the microphones to catch it: "Fuckers." And he walked off.
The Vikings made three playoff appearances in Burns's six seasons as head coach. The '87 team lost all three of its scab games during the strike and did not have any players cross the picket line, except to receive medical treatment. But they made the playoffs and upset the Saints and 49ers before stalling out at the 6-yard line in the last minute of a 17-10 loss to Washington in the NFC title game, all on the road.
"They were a couple of plays from making one of the greatest runs ever," Reusse said.
Reusse described Burns as a likable, colorful character. Unlike Grant, an outdoorsman, Burns liked to play golf. "They couldn't be more different," Reusse said. One time, Reusse was in Sarasota, Fla., for a quick stop on the beach while covering the Twins during spring training. As he was walking along, Reusse suddenly heard someone shout, "Hey, Big Nuts!" in his direction. He turned and saw Burns sitting there with Burns's wife, just having a beach day.
"He called everyone 'Big Nuts,' Reusse said. "It was just a name he liked to call people."
A final anecdote from Reusse: Once, during a trip to Tampa Bay to play the Buccaneers, a member of the Vikings' PR staff invited a few reporters up to a hotel room to interview Burns (man, this was a long time ago, huh?) after practice. The room had a bathtub full of beers and ice. Burns proceeded to regale the reporters with old stories peppered with lots of curse words as they all knocked a few back. Once the beer ran out, Burns got up to take a piss and proceeded to walk down the hall toward his room. At that moment, Reusse said he and the other reporters realized they hadn't asked Burns a thing about practice or the team—the stuff they'd need to fill out their stories.
"When the beer runs out, the bullshit stops," Burns told them, and he kept right on walking.
The '89 Vikings finished 10-6 and won the NFC Central, but they got blasted by the eventual-champion 49ers in the divisional round of the playoffs. Schnelker was fired after the 1990 season; he died two years ago at the age of 88. Burns, who retired after the '91 season, is now 91, and he still lives in Eden Prairie, Minn. I got him on the phone the other night. The voice had that familiar rapid-fire quality to it, even if it sounded older, as one might expect. Burns would only say he couldn't really remember anything about his rant, but that he still thought the world of Bob Schnelker. I gently pressed him one time, just to see if I could jog his memory.
"You seem to know more about it than I do," he said. "That was a long time ago. Maybe someday you could come over to the house and we can sit down and have a long talk about it." I told Jerry Burns I'd like that, and we said our goodbyes.
* After further review, the total number Burns's f- bombs, both out of the gate and overall, has been updated.

My kids are all on the slim side. Growing up, Edric and I were thin, too. I did have a tummy, but I had stick legs and long arms. I looked like an egg with extremities. Eventually, I grew into my limbs and my tummy flattened, especially with sports and an active lifestyle.
I've found that the best way to do this is to insist that all my kids drink Friso Four. Titus, for example, was always underweight. His body looked like a spider. Seriously. He was so thin. No matter what kind of vitamins or food I made him eat, he had a hard time gaining the pounds he needed to. Since he doesn't have tuberculosis and he isn't a sickly child, it would deeply concern me when he couldn't get to his target weight. Eating became an issue at the table, with me forcing him to put more food on his plate. I am sure he became frustrated and discouraged with me and himself.
Finally, I decided that he ought to drink formula, even if he is an older child. Since Titus takes a long while to eat his food, it was so much easier for him to drink a glass of milk in the morning and at night.
In a span of a few months, he gained weight steadily. Recently, his lolo remarked that he looked healthier and had more meat on him. Hurray!
Although I thought that dairy may not be that good for my children (I have an intolerance myself), it turns out that my functional medicine doctor told me that kids need the nutrition they get from it. Each person is different, so what I can't have doesn't necessarily translate to what my kids can't have either. Each child is different. If dairy is obviously affecting him or her in a negative way, then maybe they need an alternative. However, with my kids, dairy hasn't had the same effect that it does on me. And Friso Four has a probiotic component that aids in digestion. Plus, it's a one step heat process, which keeps the proteins from mutating.
Ugh go away Juancho. Are you some guy Joy dumped in the past and now you're this person constantly spreading inanities on her page? Or maybe you're some girl in love with Edric. Whatever. Seriously. Get out of her page. Joy may not care but you're annoying the rest of us.
I deleted his comment. 🙂 I will just keep deleting his comments every time he posts. Sorry about that everyone…I'm surprised he doesn't have better things to do. He's actually giving atheists a bad name. I know several atheists and they are very kind.

North Macedonia's New President Inaugurated
Stevo Pendarovski, the new President of North Macedonia speaks, during an inauguration ceremony at the parliament building in Skopje, North Macedonia, May 12, 2019.
Stevo Pendarovski has been inaugurated as the new president of North Macedonia, calling for "reconciliation" in a deeply divided society.
In his inauguration speech before parliament on May 12, Pendarovski promised he will serve all citizens and said, "It is time to heal open wounds from our recent past and to really start civil reconciliation."
"There are so many divisions, especially political," he said.
The swearing-in ceremony was attended by the presidents of Albania, Bulgaria, Serbia, and Kosovo, as well as Pendarovski's predecessor, former president Gjorge Ivanov.
Pendarovski told lawmakers that the country will have to tackle two priorities: economic development and the fight against "corruption, crime, and nepotism."
He said he will lobby European Union leaders to approve the opening of North Macedonia's accession talks in June.
Pendarovski, backed by North Macedonia's ruling Social Democratic Union (SDSM), won the presidential election runoff on May 5 with nearly 52% of the vote.
Gordana Siljanovska-Davkova, the candidate favored by the main conservative opposition VMRO DPMNE party, had 45%.
Turnout was less than 47%.
Pendarovski, a former political-science professor, has strongly supported the so-called Prespa deal signed with Greece last year to change the country's name.
Siljanovska-Davkova has been critical of it, though the opposition has said it would not cancel the accord. She is also a strong proponent of EU and NATO integration.
The signing of the historic agreement with Greece changed the country's name to North Macedonia and ended a decades-long dispute that had blocked the Balkan state's path to NATO and the EU.
Ivanov, who ended his second and last five-year presidential term on May 12, was a fierce opponent of the deal.

Well, that was a fun day for the newsletter. The ballpark draft was the most trafficked and forwarded newsletter in the Minute's short two-month history. It caused a lot of good natured debate and I weighed in with some more thoughts on Twitter last night. You can read those here.
Thanks again to everyone who participated! And thank you to everyone who signed up as a result of that increased traffic. While this lockdown has been awful for sports, I've been surprised at how many people continue to sign up for and open a sports newsletter in a time of no sports. Along those lines, I know that each of you know one person who likes Chicago sports as much as you do. If each of you reach out to that person today and get them to sign up, you'll help me double my audience in one day.
OK, enough with me shilling and shooting my shot. Onto sports!
Ayo Dosunmu posts his NBA notice
It didn't come as much of a surprise, but Illini star sophomore Ayo Dosunmu declared for the NBA draft on Wednesday afternoon.
The way the Morgan Park product did it was cool, too. If you have two minutes, watch the embedded video above. The social media creativity of people 20 years younger than me never ceases to amaze and, yes, make me feel like a fossil banging away on this "laptop."
"This was a tough decision," Dosunmu wrote. "I'm not sure what the date (for the NBA Draft is). But I'm 100 percent locked in. Whenever they announce a date, I'm prepared. Thirty GMs are going to see what I'm made of. Straight ice in my veins."
To answer your question: No, Dosunmu has not hired an agent. That'd be a foolish decision for him considering the uncertainty of everything surrounding the sports schedule right now. The draft doesn't even have a date right now.
Also, no one is quite sure where Dosunmu will get drafted or if he'll even get drafted at all. The Athletic's Sam Vecenie is on the high end, tabbing Dosunmu to go to Sacramento with the 35th overall pick in his latest mock draft.
But Vecenie also acknowledges that Dosunmu is a divisive player among talent evaluators and that shows in other mocks. ESPN has Dosunmu listed as 88th overall and the 28th best point guard while nbadraft.net lists him at 82.
None of those three projections come with any guaranteed money so Dosunmu will not only need to focus on his shooting in the months ahead, but he'll also have to consider how much risk he's willing to shoulder in his pursuit of the pro game.
It's obvious that Dosunmu really needed a good run in March Madness to improve his draft stock and he could have put it together. Unfortunately it wasn't to be and he'll have a lot more work to do in whatever workouts are able to be held.
Still, there's no cost for Dosunmu or Illini teammate Kofi Cockburn to put their names out there and gather as much information as they can from the pro ranks as the rest of the sports world figures out what it will look like in the fall.
Plus, it looks like he'll be creative enough to come up with a good "I'm back" announcement for Illini Nation if it comes to that.
Lithuania mania!
Midway Minute partner BreakingT just came out with a new shirt in honor of the new leader inspiring hope on the West Side. Not going to lie: I need one.
Buy shirt
My brother feels this way about the McRib, too
Wednesday was the 20th anniversary of the Bears drafting Brian Urlacher. No. 54 had a few good national ad campaigns before his hair started dominating I-294, but this is by far my favorite Urlacher commercial.

Lev Tsitrin
On Slavery
by Lev Tsitrin
Forced labor in a Soviet gulag
The airwaves, the press and the internet are so saturated with stories centered on race -- from recounting of George Floyd's death to "the 1619 project" that, though race is not something that preoccupies me, my mind must have reacted on its own to those constant cries of "systemic racism;" hence, the present piece.
Like every animal, we humans are exploitative, rapacious, and selfish, seeking safety and comfort at all costs -- including at the expense of others. Out ancestors set us on the exploitative track long ago by domesticating animals -- horses to carry heavy loads and plow the land; cows and sheep to provide food and clothing, dogs for security and tor guarding the herds. Nor did humans stop at owning and exploiting animals: land, forests, water, ores, fossils, anything and everything is used to satisfy human needs, if not to serve human greed. In our urge for physical security and creature comfort, we crave whatever can contribute to our well-being, whatever can shield us from want and misery. That's normal, I guess; only saints can resist the selfishness of human nature, and deliberately seek out suffering.
The animals, and the inanimate stuff we exploit, are termed "property." Cattle, poultry and land are routinely bought and sold; in legal terms they are just "assets" that belong to someone. As we all know, prior to Lincoln's Emancipation declaration such was the case with people, too. Yet, there is a huge difference between owning a cow and owning a human. A human is endowed with intrinsic self-awareness of agency which makes humans superior to animals, and equal to one another -- and makes the idea of owning humans much more tenuous, morally and legally, and for that matter, much more dangerous. Unlike a cow, a human thinks and understands the predicament of servitude -- and tries to regain the lost agency, seeking freedom. Neither cows, nor sheep rebel. Slaves do.
This feature of slavery -- ownership of one's intrinsic equal -- is what distinguishes it from other kinds of property ownership, and forms solid grounds to forbid it. And yet, slavery had been practiced throughout history -- using different justifications. In the ancient Rome it was simply a matter of brute force: the defeated were part of the war booty, and that was that. So it was in Africa, too: when the Portuguese voyagers discovered the markets of West Africa, it was not just ivory and gold that was sold there, but people too.
Justifications for owning humans on the purchasers' part, when any were needed, were not hard to come up with: the story of biblical Noah cursing one of his sons to servitude was quite sufficient to allay the conscience of the more pious, while to the less sensitive it was just commerce -- same as trade in cattle or real estate. Other justifications followed, like the inherent inferiority of the blacks (Benjamin Franklin was as proud of his discovery that the backs could learn the same subjects that were taught to whites just as well as the whites did, as he was of his discoveries of the Gulfstream, and of atmospheric electricity). Justifications differed of course from place to place. In Tsarist Russia, before it abolished serfdom in 1861, peasants were simply considered part of the landscape -- like a lake or forest that are part of an estate -- and were bought and sold along with the land by the aristocratic landowners. The serfs did not have identifying documents, and could not travel; they were inherent to the land (an arrangement that was resurrected by the Soviets who denied the peasantry (or rather, "collective farmers," as they were called) the internal passports that were needed for identification and travel, literally turning peasants into serfs. While Soviet city dwellers had it a little easier -- they were "written into" a particular city of domicile in their internal passports, and could travel, one could not simply say "let me move to Moscow," and go live there -- that was impossible.)
Our own age, replete with dictatorships that treat their populace as property by telling their subjects what can, and what cannot be thought, said, or done, found an altogether different reason to hold their populations under control and deny them agency and freedom. To them, the power rightly belongs to those who know and serve the higher Truth -- Communism, Nazism, Islamism. That's how the philosopher-rulers (or, as some call them, "ideologues") in the mold of Lenin/Stalin/Hitler/Mao/Kim/Xi/Khomeini justify their power. Though the outright slavery practiced in the form of forced labor in Nazi concentration camps and Soviet Gulags are a thing of the past (though apparently not in China), slavery itself isn't. Countries where the use of mind is limited to memorizing the leaders' sayings, and the speech is restricted to parroting them -- countries like China, North Korea, Iran, or places where ISIS, al-Qaeda and their ilk dominate, all practice slavery.
What is interesting about all this, is that it de-links the phenomenon of slavery from that of the race that is all the rage nowadays. In today's discourse, race links the present (and presumably miserable) situation of American blacks to that of their enslaved ancestors, attainments of the emancipation and of the civil rights movement notwithstanding. We hear and read, day in and day out that today, racism is unconscious, all-pervading, endemic, ingrained, systemic -- and that it infected the present generation of Americans via America's "original sin" of slavery. The problem with that linkage is that slavery -- slavery per se -- simply has nothing whatsoever to do with race. In Tsarist and Communist Russia, slaves were as white as were their owners (and for that matter, African slaves were as black as their African owners who sold them). Modern-day slaves in the Communist China and North Korea are as Asian as are Mr. Xi and Mr. Kim; they are as Persian as are Iran's ayatollahs. So what does slavery have to do with race? Africans' black skin did not cause slavery in America any more than Russian peasants' white skin caused serfdom in Russia. Rather, human tendency for exploitation (exhibited equally by Africa's black sellers and the white purchasers) was what caused it. The state of labor market of the time -- availability for purchase of workers in Africa coupled with the labor shortage in America adequately explains American slavery; there is simply no need to mix the race into this. Blacks were purchased not because they were black -- but because they were available for purchase.
As I went to school in the Soviet Union, the teachers kept reminding us of one of Lenin's great sayings (all his sayings were great, of course, but only so many could be repeatedly quoted to school children): "to live in a society and be free from it is impossible." Sure, Lenin was right -- but what he did not mention that this social dependence comes in two opposite forms -- that of a person in power who socially depends for his pleasures on the services offered the flunkeys -- and that of the flunkeys, who depend for their living (and at certain times and in certain places, for their very lives) on the caprice of the person in power. Hence, humans try all they can to get into the former group, and get out of the latter. We all want to be "haves" rather than "have nots," be in the camp of "oppressors" rather than the "oppressed." Even the self-effacing "servants of the people" like Lenin/Stalin/Mao/Xi/Kim (Khomenei of course serves God, not people) who ostensibly want nothing for themselves, but whose only goal is to serve the higher good -- prefer to do so while living in palaces, being served by flunkeys, and being protected by bodyguards and security services.
The same principle applies on a smaller scale, too. Everything that can be used to put a foot in the door, to tighten one's grip on the career ladder, be it corporate, academic, or political, has to be exploited. If fashionable cries of "racism" can help in building a career, can be a step to a better position, why not? I think this is why we hear the cries of "racism" from the "elites" (racism clearly not preventing them from attaining the most cherished positions in media and academe, since they are sufficiently well-connected to have access to the prestigious and highly selective and restrictive media outlets like the New York Times or NPR-- elitist media inaccessible to the regular folk) -- though racism has nothing whatsoever to do with the slavery, and though slavery in America was abandoned a century and a half ago, and the civil rights movement of fifty years ago changed the attitudes to the point where Americans could elect a black man as the president of the country. Surprisingly (or perhaps, not), the fact that slavery is still being practiced in far too many places around the world seems unimportant to the race-crying, well-connected elites to whom it means nothing, the all-in-all race that could be exploited for promotion, not being a factor there. As to slavery itself -- who really cares?

Call us if your water heater completely quits working or is just not performing to the level that you are accustomed to.
Just like any other homeowner in Ackermanville, you expect to have clean, hot water whenever you turn on the hot water faucet to your sinks, bathtubs or showers. However, as household appliances age, their effectiveness becomes less. Water heaters are no different. To avoid costly emergency water heater repairs, here are some warning signs that indicate your water heater may need to be replaced sooner rather than later.
Standard storage space hot water heater remain one of the most popular kind of water heating unit for the residence. A gas hot water heater offers a higher level of convenience because it has a faster recovery price. The healing price of a water heater refers to the moment it takes a water heater to reheat its entire supply of warm water. This is a substantial benefit for residences that make use of huge and also regular attracts of warm water. You see, the healing rate of a water heater is based on its BTU (British Thermal System) input. BTU measures the amount of power needed to warm one extra pound of water by one level Fahrenheit.
Warm could only be transferred via 3 ways: conduction, convection and radiation. It takes place when you push your hand into a window pane, when you place a pot of water on an energetic element, and when you position an iron in the fire.
Crossbreed water heating systems are 6,000 to 8,000 BTUs as well as gas water heater are 32,000 to 50,000 BTUs. A crossbreed heat pumps water heating system's reduced BTU input suggests that it would have a hard time maintaining up if your household is accustomed to attracting big volumes of warm water at as soon as.
Warmth pump water heating systems are very different. Rather it is made use of to relocate warmth from one place to another. This is counter-intuitive due to the fact that the heat is moved from a cooler place, the area air where the water heating unit is located, to a warmer location, the water in the storage space container.

In this research, a layered-recurrent artificial neural network (ANN) using back-propagation method was developed for simulation of a fixed-bed industrial catalytic-reforming unit, called Platformer. Ninety-seven data points were gathered from the industrial catalytic naphtha reforming plant during the complete life cycle of the catalyst (about 919 days). A total of 80% of data were selected as past horizontal data sets, and the others were selected as future horizontal ones. After training, testing and validating the model using past horizontal data, the developed network was applied to predict the volume flow rate and research octane number (RON) of the future horizontal data versus days on stream. Results show that the developed ANN was capable of predicting the volume flow rate and RON of the gasoline for the future horizontal data with the AAD% of 0.238 and 0.813%, respectively. Moreover, the AAD% of the predicted octane barrel against the actual values was 1.447%, confirming the excellent capability of the model to simulate the behavior of the under study catalytic reforming plant.
Key words: Modeling, simulation, artificial neural network, catalytic reforming, naphtha cycle life.

Classifying human signatures using radar requires a detailed understanding of the RF scattering phenomenology associated with humans as well as their motion. We model humans engaged in the activity of walking and analyze the separability of different body parts with frequency as well as lookdown angle. This work seeks to estimate the ability to classify the micro-Doppler signals generated by human motion, and especially arm motion, as a function of the radar frequency and other parameters. The simulations imply that for classification using arm motion, frequencies at Ku-band or higher are probably required, and that lookdown angle has a significant effect on the classification capability of the radar. Additionally, the sensitivity of the system required to isolate the motion of different body parts is estimated.

Q: Center Fixed Element in TailwindCSS I have a flash message that appears when a page is loaded on successful auth and I'm trying to figure out how I can center it horizontally on any device. I am using the TailwindCSS to adjust the placement of the div and have tried fixed and absolute to make sure it appears above my content, but using an attribute like left:50% moves it too far over and margin:auto doesn't center this element. Is there a better approach to what I am trying to do? Is it possible to do with TailwindCSS or will I have to write some CSS for this?

Code:

            <svg viewBox="0 0 24 24" className="text-green-600 w-10 h-10 sm:w-5 sm:h-5 mr-3">
                <path fill="currentColor" d="M12,0A12,12,0,1,0,24,12,12.014,12.014,0,0,0,12,0Zm6.927,8.2-6.845,9.289a1.011,1.011,0,0,1-1.43.188L5.764,13.769a1,1,0,1,1,1.25-1.562l4.076,3.261,6.227-8.451A1,1,0,1,1,18.927,8.2Z"></path>
            </svg>
            { body ? body : '' }

    ...

A: For me it worked like this (div is centered both vertically and horizontally). Also I wanted the modal content to scroll if the content was longer than the div's height:

  <button @click.prevent="closeModal">Close me</button>

Turnovers and defending against the run will be two huge parts in the first five games.We should be 2-0 going in to Alabama ,but taking care of Georgia will be even more important.Being 4-1 going to S. Carolina isn't out of the picture.
Since what we're ultimately interested in is seeing this team take its rightful place in the Georgia dome, in this main area I'll include the current league standings.And talk about how the season is going and analyze how good (or bad!) I feel the Hawgs chances are in the upcoming weeks.
Does it really matter who the QB is at Alabama, be it Watts or Zow,they'll still get every call in every game .
Things have finally come together for this sophomore.

Goldman Sachs Buys Another Seat at the Treasury Table
Josh Gay
Tuesday night, the White House announced that Goldman Sachs banker James Donovan will be nominated as deputy Treasury secretary. Donovan will join former Goldman Sachs colleagues Steve Bannon, Secretary of the Treasury Steve Mnuchin, and National Economic Council director Gary Cohn in the Trump administration.
The nearly 150-year-old finance firm has been a staple of Wall Street and in government for quite some time, helping shape FDR's war efforts and advising the Obama administration during the bailout. In fact, the last four Presidents before Trump appointed Goldman Sachs employees to key government roles, but their influence was a major point of contention during the 2016 election.
Bernie Sanders ripped Democratic rival Hillary Clinton over her ties to the investment firm, "You've received over $600,000 in speaking fees from Goldman Sachs in one year […] I have doubts about people receiving large amounts of money from Wall Street." Even Donald Trump joined in the anti-Goldman rhetoric, criticizing Hillary for being "totally controlled by Wall Street." Trump ran ads blaming Goldman CEO Lloyd Blankfein for America's woes, and blasted Republican rival Ted Cruz on Twitter for his ties to the firm:
Was there another loan that Ted Cruz FORGOT to file. Goldman Sachs owns him, he will do anything they demand. Not much of a reformer!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 16, 2016
While their expertise in business and market matters may be helpful to policymakers, investment firms like Goldman Sachs certainly put their own interests first. Goldman Sachs spends millions in lobbying activities and political contributions and has guided financial policy that benefits Wall Street. Firms like Goldman Sachs have been blamed for the housing crisis, the tech bubble, the big bank bailouts, and high gas prices. You could even point to the financial firms' investments as a major driver for failed Middle East policies, including the ongoing wars.
However, they always escape from the consequences; when Goldman was investigated by the Eric Holder-run Department of Justice under President Obama, they hired one of Holder's best friends, Reid Weingarten, to aid them in their legal proceedings.
With Goldman Sachs continuing to own Washington, crony capitalism has ensured that true free markets do not exist. They have crushed competition while hedging their bets, no matter which party is in control. They have bought influence and ingrained themselves so deeply into the culture of government that politicians look only to Goldman Sachs when problems arise, even if the firm was the cause of the problem to begin with. They are above the law and when they aren't, they simply pay for changes to the law. Despite Trump's promises to "drain the swamp," it seems that Goldman Sachs remains in charge of restocking it.

Discordant tunes over CJN as Fed Govt cautions foreign envoys
By The Nation On Jan 29, 2019
The Federal Government yesterday warned representatives of foreign counties and organisations operating in the country to stay clear of Nigeria's internal matters.
A statement by the Foreign Affairs Ministry's spokesman, George Ehidiamen Edokpa, warned embassies to desist from actions and divisive utterances.
Reacting to the recent comments by foreign partners on the suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen, the government urged for caution.
The statement reads: "The Federal Government of Nigeria notes with deep concern statements made by representatives of foreign Governments and international organisations resident in Nigeria, notably the Embassy of the United States of America, the High Commission of the United Kingdom as well as the European Union Election Observer Mission, regarding the suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), which demonstrate serious and unacceptable interference in the internal affairs of Nigeria.
"The various statements, especially of those referred to above, appear prejudicial and signify alignment with the opposition and endorsement of its position that the ruling party, and by extension the Federal Government of Nigeria, is working on rigging the forthcoming elections in Nigeria.
"These statements also portend tolerance for corrupt acts and downplay the anticorruption crusade of the Buhari Administration, knowing fully that the suspended CJN had not denied the charges against him and that probity requires of him to step aside while the case is under scrutiny.
"It is pertinent to underscore the unfortunate fact that statements, as referred above, are inimical to the wellbeing and development of Nigeria, given their nuisance value of promoting sectional and religious divide in the country, anarchy and retrogression. Now, more than any other time, Nigerians and true friends of Nigeria should be working towards repositioning Nigeria to realise her potential and sustainably provide the leadership expected of her.
"His Excellency Muhammadu Buhari had consistently demonstrated respect for the rule of law as a presidential candidate and as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and would engage in nothing to the contrary.
"He also remains a man of integrity, who has severally pledged free and fair elections. It is therefore absurd to presume that the suspension of the CJN is geared towards rigging the forthcoming elections in favour of the ruling party.
"For the avoidance of doubt, be it known that on three occasions that Mr. President went to court, as a presidential candidate and lost his case, in 2013, 2011 and 2007, the presiding judges at the Supreme Court were all northerners and Muslims: Justice Muhammad Lawal Uwais, Idris Lebo Kutigi and Dahiru Mustapha respectively.
"In fact, in one instance, the presiding judge at the Appeal Court was from Katsina State and the President's former classmate, yet, he lost the case. The minority judgements in his favour were given by two judges, both of them southerners and Christians: Justices George Adesola Oguntade and Sylvanus Nsofor.
"Resident embassies and international organisations invited to observe the forthcoming elections must therefore be wary of being drawn into the camp of the opposition, otherwise their neutrality, which is the hallmark of election observers becomes questionable.
"It is indeed unfortunate that foreign missions would align with the opposition and seek to negatively interpret actions by the Federal Government, no matter their positive basis and intention. Had the Federal Government been high-handed, would the opposition have been able to express its views, even to the point of pouring invectives on Mr. President?
"How best can the corruption in the judiciary, which has enormously undermined the rights of the common man and made justice available only to the highest bidder, be best tackled than by ensuring that known cases are fundamentally tackled? Where is the rule of law, if justice is applied selectively?"
Why Atiku, PDP are crying, by APC
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has said the opposition of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, Onnoghen's suspension is a clear testimony of the frustration they faced in their ploy to use the judiciary to rig their way into power.
In a statement titled "Why Do PDP, Atiku Oppose Onnoghen's Suspension as CJN?" by the National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Lanre Issa Onilu, the APC said: "In recent weeks Nigerians have been inundated with reports regarding self-confessed discrepancies in the asset declaration made by erstwhile Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen. So acting on an order of the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT), President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday took the decisive action of suspending Onnoghen.
"The strident opposition to Justice Onnoghen's suspension coming from the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) led by its presidential candidate, Alh. Atiku Abubakar again points to their penchant for anything corrupt and criminal.
"We must ask ourselves these questions, why was Justice Onnoghen suspended? What are the charges against him? It is on the basis of this, we had expected the PDP, Atiku and their agents to assess the President's action.
"Justice Onnoghen was accused of non-declaration of assets — a requirement by law for every public officer. While under investigations, other transactions have been traced to Justice Onnoghen's personal accounts, all undeclared as required by law. Justice Onnoghen has personally admitted to this in writing claiming that he made a "mistake" and "forgot" to declare his assets.
"In the spirit of good conscience, integrity, character and general conduct expected of occupants of public office, we are of the strong position that Justice Onnoghen should have resigned immediately to face his trial after his confession and spare the Judiciary further disrepute. Justice Onnoghen did not. This in itself smells mischief.
"For one, the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike's hold on Justice Onnoghen and a few others in the Judiciary is well-known. This was their trump card to hijack power post-election. It is clear that Justice Onnoghen's suspension has devastated the PDP as their plans to get back to power through the "cash and carry" justice system they put in place during their unfortunate 16 years reign is in serious jeopardy.
"In citing the election tribunals as reason for Justice Onnoghen's suspension, has Atiku given himself away on his now busted plot to use the tribunals to steal the people's mandate in the presidential election he knows he will lose?"
Atiku: Nigerians must vote out Buhari
PDP presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar has urged Nigerians to vote out President Muhammadu Buhari.
This, according to him, is the surest way to ensure progress and prosperity for Nigerians.
Atiku, who spoke at the Yar 'Adua Centre, Abuja, said the country was passing through a difficult moment and that how Nigerians react to this challenge in the following days will determine the fate of the nation's democracy.
He described the crisis as needless, but which portends great peril to the system. Atiku blamed the government for unwilling to subject its conducts to the requirements of the constitution.
Said he: "Meanwhile, I commend all Nigerians and friends of Nigeria, who have expressed outrage over the unlawful removal of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen, an action, which constitutes a flagrant breach of our constitution and a frontal assault on our democracy.
"I want to note the universal condemnation of this unlawful act by all Nigerians, as well as the international community. I need to state that this latest action by General Muhammadu Buhari falls squarely within the pattern of executive lawlessness that has now been firmly turned into statecraft by the APC government.
"The serial disregard of court orders, and consequent violation of constitutionally guaranteed human rights of our citizens confirms beyond all doubt that General Buhari and his government would rather obey their own whims and operate by separate rules outside the well-established constitutional order and the rule of law. It scarcely requires emphasis that this behaviour is alien to democratic rule and more in line with that of a military dictator."
'Ensure diligent prosecution, not persecution'
The Chancellor of the International Society for Social Justice and Human Rights (ISSJHR), Dr. Omenazu Jackson, has called for diligent prosecution and not persecution of the suspended Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Walter Onnoghen.
He stated this yesterday in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital, while addressing a news conference.
Jackson said: "The judiciary is the only compass guiding our footsteps towards a peaceful and orderly society, disparaging it on the altar of politics is to our doom, but the officers in the temple of justice must stand on high moral pedestal to safeguard the sanctity of the exalted offices they occupy.
"If the officers in the temple of justice fail, the society returns to stone age and the sanctity of the judiciary will be lost and nature exhibits its folly on us all.
"Members of the political class, who are bent on truncating our democratic process through unwarranted and unguarded attacks on institutions of governance, we plead with them to be patriotic in their undertakings, as politics without morality is criminality amplified."
Chancellor of ISSJHR also called for urgent convocation of a Sovereign National Conference (SNC), having seen the lacunas contained in the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, as amended, which he said had given rise to the current constitutional crises rocking the Nigerian state.
Agbakoba urges NJC to immediately remove acting CJN
A former Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) President, Dr Olisa Agbakoba (SAN), has urged the National Judicial Council (NJC) to immediately remove Acting Chief Justice Tanko Muhammad.
He made the demand in a January 28 letter to the NJC titled: Petition against Hon. Justice Tanko Mohammed JSC.
Agbakoba recalled that on January 25, President Mohammadu Buhari, pursuant to an ex-parte order of the Code of the Conduct Tribunal (CCT), suspended the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Walter Onnoghnen, and swore in Justice Mohammed as the Acting CJN.
He wrote: "The Constitution is clear about the procedure for suspending or removing the Chief Justice of Nigeria. The Chief Justice of Nigeria can only be removed on the recommendation of the NJC."
He referred to Section 153 (1), Paragraph 21 (a) of the 3rd Schedule and Section 292 (1) (a) (i) of the 1999 Constitution and the Supreme Court decision in Elelu-Habeeb v AGF (2012) 40 WRN 1.

Agbakoba said Justice Muhammad is fully aware of the state of law, yet presented himself to be sworn in by the President.
"Incidentally, Justice Tanko Muhammad was a member of the NJC panel that removed Justice Obisike Orji of the Abia state High Court for accepting to be sworn in as Chief Judge by the Governor of Abia State without the recommendation of the NJC.
"It is a matter of regret that Justice Tanko Muhammad who participated in this process will lend himself to this constitutional infraction," the SAN said.
He urged the NJC to remove Justice Muhammad based on the Abia precedent.
"We pray the NJC determine this petition in line with the decision in Justice Obisike Orji by immediately removing Justice Tanko Muhammad as Justice of the Supreme Court on grounds of gross misconduct by allowing himself to be sworn in by the President of Nigeria, without the recommendation of the NJC," Agbakoba said.
Olawepo-Hashim Peace Committee, NJC to intervene
People's Trust (PT) Presidential candidate Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim has called on the Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar-led National Peace Committee and the Nigeria Judicial Council (NJC) to amicably resolve the suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Walter Onnoghen, to avert political and constitutional crises.
Olawepo-Hashim, in an interview yesterday in Abuja, lamented that the suspension of the CJN, barely three weeks to the election.
According to him: "Such an appointment must be done on the recommendation of the Nigeria Judicial Commission (NJC), which was not the case in the appointment of Justice Tanko."
Olawepo-Hashim called on the Acting CJN to step aside and allow a process where the next CJN in line would be recommended by the NJC.
He declared: "I am not particularly interested in individuals but how to preserve the integrity of institutions of state such as the Judiciary.
"The weighty allegations against Justice Onnoghen should still be investigated by the NJC and it should be up to the NJC to know what to do with him in accordance with the constitution the Federal Republic of Nigeria and other judicial regulations."
Protest in Calabar over suspension
A group known as the "Concerned Cross Riverians on The Unconstitutional Suspension of the CJN" took to the streets to protest the suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen by President Muhammadu Buhari, describing as unconstitutional.
They demanded the immediate reinstatement of the Chief Justice of Nigeria with all his rights and privilege as the CJN.
They also vowed to vote out the All Progressives Congress (APC), at all levels especially President Mohammadu Buhari, as according to them, there were are so many burning issues that needed attention more than the "illegal suspension" of the CJN but have not been attended to.
Reading a communiqué on behalf of the group a constitutional lawyer, Leo Anyogo, said the people of Cross River were dismayed by the development.
"It is with total shock and disbelief that President Buhari in clear violation of S.292 of the constitution and that of the court of Appeal purportedly suspended the CJN without due process. This is clearly an assault on the Sacred Temple of Justice," the group said.
Buhari's campaign group knocks PDP over Onnoghen
The Buhari Campaign Organisation (BCO) yesterday berated the PDP for suspending its presidential campaign in protest of Justice Walter Onnoghen suspension from office as Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), saying the action is untenable.
The BCO said the party should have quit the 2019 elections completely rather than "the hypocrisy of just suspending the electioneering process".
In a statement by its Director of Communication and Strategic Planning, Mallam Gidado Ibrahim, the president's support group noted that by suspending its campaign, the PDP has shown that it has nothing to campaign with in terms of viable manifesto and constructive programmes to sell to Nigerians.
Ibrahim said: "The PDP ought not to have suspend its campaign; it would have quit the 2019 elections completely. Why are they not talking about the subject of discussion, which is corruption and deceit? Is the party trying to say if anybody in a civilised country like Nigeria is found guilty of corruption, even the president, he should not be jailed?"
Onaiyekan to Buhari: follow the rule of law
The Archbishop of Abuja, Cardinal John Onaiyekan, last night advised the President to allow the rule of law prevail over the suspension of the CJN.
Speaking with reporters in Abuja on the eve of his 75th birthday anniversary, the clergy said it was wrong to undermine the Constitution of Nigeria.
"What I am trying to say is that something has happened that should not happen at all. Let nobody tell me that the rule for removing a chief justice of the federation is not clear.
"That is what I am hearing that President Muhammadu Buhari has his reasons for doing what he did and that as far as those people are concerned, he did the right thing and then the big number of lawyers said no, it is not right. If we cannot agree on this, then what can we agree on?
"My hope is that with the amount of ingenuity Nigerians have, and all these great legal luminaries in no time within the next week or so, we will arrive at some conclusion which will permit the country to move forward on this matter.
"But I think we should decide what our law says. And we should hold everybody accountable to follow the law. Even President Muhammadu Buhari must follow the law."
Presidential candidates back suspension
The forum of Presidential Candidates and Political Parties for Good Governance (PCPPGG) yesterday backed the suspension of Justice Onnoghen as CJN.
The candidates said it will not have any negative effect on the forthcoming general elections.
The chairman of the body, Alhaji Shittu Muhammed Kabir, said: "The Forum of Presidential Candidates and Political Parties for Good Governance believes strongly that President Muhammadu Buhari's suspension of Hon.Justice Onnoghen as CJN is proper and timely.
"Majority of Nigerians have now realised that but for the pre-emptive move by the President, Onnoghen would have proceeded to constitute the Election Petition Panels.
"No wonder some interested elements are shocked that their game plan has been punctured. Desperate disease needs a desperate treatment. President Buhari acted in the overall interest of the masses of Nigeria.
"So much is required from the judiciary since they hold the power of life and death. Judges are therefore expected to live above board and be incorruptible. It would have been unfair to Nigerians to have someone who is carrying a clear baggage of corruption on his head to continue to preside over a sensitive arm of government like the judiciary, just because some elements would wish to use legal technicalities to cover up or moderate an obvious misdeed." He, however, said as responsible actors in Nigeria's political system, they have concluded: "That the offence allegedly committed by Justice Onnoghen is not judicial that could have warranted the intervention of NJC.
"That the constitution recognises the holder of the office of CJN as the 1st public officer in Nigeria.
"That the suspension of the CJN cannot be equated with removal as envisaged in the constitution. The suspension by the President does not, therefore, require the input of the NJC and the National Assembly."
67 parties: suspension must not stand
Sixty Seven political parties yesterday faulted Onnoghen's suspension, describing it as "illegal, unconstitutional, null, void and of no effect."
The parties, including the Peoples Democratic Party and Social Democratic Party, pointed out that they were very disturbed by the illegal suspension of the CJN and the swearing in of an acting CJN, saying "both actions are illegal and foreign to our constitution."
The parties, in a joint statement, called on President Buhari to reverse the suspension.
The statement reads: "The CJN, as a judicial officer, can only be removed from office by the President acting on an address supported by two thirds majority of the Senate for his inability to discharge the functions of his office or appointment or for misconduct or contravention of the Code of Conduct."

Opening Day. Two words that symbolize hope, new beginnings and a whole lot of excitement. No matter how last season ended, your team is 0-0, in first place (even if only for a day), and your fans are eagerly awaiting for the gates to open and the season to begin.
If your home openers are anything like the ones I've experienced, you've probably got an Opening Day street festival and your first game is sold out (or close to it). Let's be honest: all the optimism and excitement surrounding the start of your season makes selling tickets for opening day one of the easier games to sell. That being said, Opening Day doesn't only represent the start of a new season—it's also an excellent opportunity to collect valuable fan data to help keep your stadium full on those less glamorous games (I'm looking at you, game in the middle of the season against the worst team in the league).
Your home opener and other marquee matchups present a tremendous opportunity to create activations that your team can use to collect valuable fan data that helps you better understand your fans. Imagine how powerful it would be if your ticket ops team was able to create segments of fans based on the information collected from these activations. Or how much more effective your ticket sales reps might be if they knew detailed information on your fan's interests or favorite players on other teams prior to calling. Now think about how much more valuable that information would be if it came directly from the fans themselves. That's called first-party data because it's information about fans, from fans.
Opening Day doesn't only excite the 20-80,000 fans in attendance for your home opener. You've got thousands more fans who will be watching at home, too! What if I told you that you could create an activation that could generate leads to help your ticket sales team sell tickets throughout the entire season? By creating an "Enter to Win" sweepstakes that's easy to enter with a really cool prize that's activated on your team's social channels, you can learn more about the fans both inside and outside of your stadium. What's better is you can use this information to identify which fans bring the most value to your franchise.
Acquiring first-party data is one thing, but the real value comes in what you do with this information. For instance, you could use this data to create numerous fan segments so you can better target potential ticket buyers when those less popular opponents come to town. You could also use this information to identify which fans to target for that concert in your venue when the team is out of town. Another great use case for how fan segments can drive ticket sales comes in the form of theme nights and giveaways. In fact, during the 2016 – 2017 NHL Season, the Florida Panthers used information they acquired about their fan base to implement and execute various theme nights. For example, for their "Grateful Dead Night" the team targeted people who had affinities for the Grateful Dead, Jerry Garcia and other jam bands to reach ticket buyers outside of their traditional fan base. On average the Panthers earned a 14.6x return on ad spend on their theme nights throughout the season.
Nothing lasts forever, and a full stadium on opening day can turn into a stadium that's half or two-thirds full in just a few weeks once the newness of your season wears off. By leveraging the key dates on your calendar and other marquee matchups to acquire fan data, your team can prepare for the upcoming winter or dog days of summer.
