Wednesday Council Hearing Tackles Karst, Animals and Rail
Tom Berg
FULL COUNCIL HEARING THIS WEDNESDAY DEC. 5TH INCLUDES TWO MEASURES TO BE VOTED ON FOR ADOPTION – INTRODUCED BY OUR OFFICE (CLICK HERE FOR AGENDA):
EWA KARST RESOLUTION
12-318 FD1
Here is an excerpt from the resolution pasted below (note: massive development plans on virgin soil that contain these karst systems are at risk of being destroyed – and you will never know it was done- of which is why this reso is so important):
WHEREAS, because karst is recognized and studied worldwide by universities, institutes and organizations, it presents an opportunity in West Oahu for cultural and eco tourism, scientific research grants, community educational endeavors, and the bringing together of Hawaiian cultural practitioners, teachers and scientists to discuss native Hawaiian flora, fauna, aquatic resources, and to study Hawaiian cultural histories and scientific geological and hydrological facts; and
WHEREAS, federal bureaus such as the United States Fish & Wildlife Service have funded projects to restore Ewa Plains karst sinkholes and have demonstrated that Hawaiian freshwater shrimp can be restocked and can flourish in these unique karst sinkhole habitats, providing working environments for education and training; now, therefore,
ANIMAL EUTHANASIA RESOLUTION
did not pass out of committee . . . so I turned the bill into a resolution to garner information from the contractor (Hawaiian Humane Society) with the hopes that someday, animals about to be euthanized that are healthy and adoptable, get a reprieve, a stay of execution.
I contend, that it is less expensive to the taxpayers to permit the public to adopt and sterilize the animal chosen to be killed by HHS in secrecy than it is to "put it down" behind closed doors. Here is an excerpt from the resolution pasted below:
WHEREAS, information on the itemized per-animal costs involved in euthanizing the various types of animals sheltered by the animal control contractor and estimated total costs of euthanizations in the ensuing fiscal year would be helpful to the City in evaluating the animal control contractor's operations, but such information is not currently available; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City and County of Honolulu that it urges the CSD to require that an Offeror pursuant to an RFP, or an animal control contractor prior to extension of its Agreement, disclose to the City in its operating budget submitted for the ensuing fiscal year the total cost per animal of each type (e.g. dog, cat, rabbit, etc.) to humanely euthanize the animal, and a breakdown of such cost itemized as follows:
1. The cost to house the animal in preparation for and during the euthanasia procedure;
2. The cost of the drug (if any) used to euthanize the animal;
3. The cost for the veterinarian to administer euthanasia;
4. The cost to transport the euthanized animal to a crematorium, or to otherwise legally dispose of the remains;
5. The cost of cremation or other legal disposal;
6. The cost to dispose of cremation remains; and
7. Any other costs (please specify) incurred in connection with euthanizing an animal;
ALSO OF INTEREST ON THE AGENDA FOR FINAL VOTE ARE:
RAIL: THE FINAL VOTE
I made my speech last Thursday to justify my position when the measure was debated for a vote in committee. The vote was 8-1 to pass reso 12-322, with myself being the lone NO VOTE. Why? The GET surcharge option at ½ of a percent for transportation relief was a fixed fight – corrupted from the start. HB1309, which became ACT 247 (Hawaii Session Laws 2005) allowed all counties – except Honolulu, to use the GET surcharge for highway technology. Meaning, if Kauai, Big Island, Maui counties wanted a fixed guideway and decided to put buses on it, they could. However, in the small print, hidden in the bill, was language that stated – if Honolulu wants to put buses on their fixed guideway, they can't. All other counties can do what they wanted – but Honolulu can't.
Why would that be? It was because in a study done in 2002 in Honolulu that compared buses and rail technologies – buses beat rail hands down on all fronts. See, politicians could not make a buck off buses, but could rather, cash in big off of a steel rail endeavor. Got PRP? A bus system could be built faster, for less money, use less energy, cleaner on the environment, and get riders to their destinations faster than rail besides being able to carry more passengers. The problem was, how do politicians cash in on the deal? So they (State Legislature) created legislation that dictated only rail could be advanced on Oahu – the biggest con job of all time, and many good people, have fallen for it. I have not. You can't fool me . . . and in my book, in the world of good government and justice, I simply cannot vote for a corrupted government ploy steeped in deception and ill-will to fleece the public. Follow the money. My 5-minute speech explaining the corruption was recorded on Olelo television for your information.
Here is a youtube that outlined what was at stake:
REMOVING NANAKULI REGIONAL PARK
If you want to keep a landfill from expanding on virgin land and would rather advance a park on 50 acres of virgin land, show up. Right now, I am the only vote in favor of preserving the park proposal. Note: I returned a $1,000 campaign donation from the landfill operator, PVT, and in contrast, your new councilwoman elect, took and accepted a $2,000 campaign contribution from the landfill operator . . . by voting on this measure Wednesday – rushing it through now before your new council person comes into office . . . well, figure it out – who is protecting whom. Follow the money.

Yankee John Mine
Jeremy M. Tuggle
A brief history of one mine in Shasta County.
Miners seeking their fortune in 1858 began working the Yankee John Mine, located near the present day city of Redding. The mining property was located near Centerville in the Centerville mining district and it proved to be lucrative in gold.
Pioneer James Loage claimed title to the property and worked the mine through 1862. The mine experienced periods of production and inactivity but in 1880 county reports indicated it yielded $15,000 in gold and seven years later it produced $3,000 of ore. Activity at the mine continued through the 1890s but by 1907 the old shaft was deemed dangerous and the Sacramento Union reported that the shaft was abandoned.
After acquiring the mining property John Reese sold it to a group from Pennsylvania who formed the Yankee John Gold Mining Company. Expanding the production by adding new shafts, the mine continued to yield deposits. In 1916 the company acquired additional mines under the new name, Yankee John Development Company. The company invested in expansions at their mining properties and continued to work up until 1923 when the Yankee John mine was sold. The mine however, continued to produce and interest in the mine remained. In 1934 the property was surveyed by George L. Pearl on behalf of Rich Strike Gold Mines, Ltd.
The mine continued operation between 1940 and 1962 though ownership changed hands several times and there were several intermittent periods of dormancy. In 1962 the mine was fully abandoned but remained visible in the landscape. In 2009 the Record Searchlight wrote that Bureau of Land Management would fill in the still open shafts for safety reasons. Remnants of the mining operation can still be seen at the site today including the plugged mine shafts, building foundations and stanchions from the stamp mill, quartz samples, tailings, rusted barbed wire and wood fence posts. It's still an intriguing place to visit, and is located west of Redding via Placer/Simmons Road. The BLM maintains the area as a historic mining site.

Edward F. Arn
Politician, governor. Republican. Born: May 19, 1906, Kansas City. Died: January 22, 1998, Wichita Kansas. Served as 32nd Governor of Kansas: January 8, 1951, to January 10, 1955.
Edward Ferdinand Arn was born in Kansas City on May 19, 1906, to Edward F. Arn and Grace Bell Edwards Arn. His father—a coal, feed, and building materials salesman—died when his son was only four months old. Arn was raised by his mother in Kansas City and Muncie, Kansas, where he also attended school. During his youth Arn performed various jobs to earn money for his education, doing such things as delivering groceries and newspapers, and working as a filling station attendant. In college Arn attended Kansas City Junior College, the University of Kansas, and in 1931, he graduated from the Kansas City School of Law. He was admitted to the Missouri Bar in 1930 and the Kansas Bar in 1931.
Early in his career Arn worked as an investigator for the State Highway Commission of Kansas. Beginning in 1936 he practiced law in Wichita. During World War II he served as a lieutenant and security officer on board an aircraft carrier in the U.S. Navy. Arn was heavily involved in Republican Party politics as early as his university days. While still a freshman in college he was chairman of the Wyandotte County Republicans. He was also a precinct committeeman for six years and a chairman of a congressional district of Young Republicans for six years.
During the gubernatorial campaigns of both Payne Ratner and Andrew Scheoppel, Arn served as campaign chairman. In this capacity he gained a statewide reputation within the Republican Party. In 1947 Arn was elected to the position of Kansas attorney general. In that position he attempted to strictly enforce the state 's prohibition laws, but concluded that successful enforcement would require legions of investigators and law enforcement officials. In 1949 Governor Frank Carlson appointed Arn to fill a vacancy on the State Supreme Court, a position he held only briefly.
In 1950 Arn resigned from the state's highest court to run for governor. He defeated Kenneth T. Anderson by more than 57, 000 votes and was elected the 35th governor of Kansas. Arn was re-elected in 1952, defeating the Democratic challenger, Tom Rooney.
Arn returned to Wichita to practice law after completing his second term in January 1955. In 1962 Arn tried for the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate, but lost to James B. Pearson. In 1973 the chief justice of the Kansas Supreme Court appointed Arn to chair the Judicial Study Advisory Committee.
Arn first married Marcella Ruth Tillmore; they had two daughters, Barbara Claire and Delores Louise. Following Marcella's death in 1966, Arn married Catharine Phillipi Ross.
Arn was a member of several legal associations, clubs, and fraternal orders, such as the American Bar Association, the Kansas Bar Association, and the American Judicature Society. His fraternity was Delta Theta Pi. He was a member of the Masons, Lions International, Sojourners, Veterans of Foreign Wars, American Legion, and Congregational church. Arn died in Wichita on January 22, 1998.

History of Mecklenburg Ministries (MeckMin)
Twenty five years ago the Charlotte Area Clergy Association saw the need for the faith community to come together to address issues of social justice – and Mecklenburg Ministries was born. Since 1987, Mecklenburg Ministries has committed to promoting interfaith relationships, fostering racial and ethnic understanding, and addressing the social issues of our community.
To promote interfaith and interracial relationships, in 1992 Mecklenburg Ministries launched BridgeBuilders. These early efforts inspire current programs such as Friday Friends, our Interfaith Youth Leadership Camp, the Citywide Thanksgiving Service, and our Youth and Liaison Interfaith Councils.
Mecklenburg Ministries' efforts to build racial and ethnic understanding began with the 1991 formation of a Race Relations Task Force and resource library when racial tensions heightened in the city. Mecklenburg Ministries launched InnerChange in 1992 and Youth Breaking Barriers in 1994. In 2004, when a social capital survey ranked Charlotte 39 out of 40 in interracial trust, Mecklenburg Ministries initiated Souls of White Folks, which continues today through Soul to Soul documentaries, Sermon Exchanges, and "Can We Talk?" Community Conversations.

Q: PHP recursively find files and folders and create HTML Basically what I am trying to do is take a base directory (already defined) and recursively go down it, making a link in a navbar for files and a collapsible for directories; under the collapsible would be links for files in that directory and possibly more collapsibles for directories inside the directory. Here is what I have so far, which is not working:
foreach (new DirectoryIterator($dir) as $file) {
    if ($file->isDot()) continue;
    if ($file->isFile()) {
        echo "
" . $file .  "
"; /*This successfully
    creates links named from all the files in the directory specified by $dir */
          }
    if ($file->isDir()) {
        ?>

                    <?php echo $file->getFilename(); ?>

                           <?php
                               $dir2 = $file->getFilename();
                               foreach (new DirectoryIterator($dir."/".$dir2) as $file1) {
                                    if ($file1->isDot()) continue;
                                   if ($file1->isFile()) {
                            echo "
".$file1 . "
";  }
                               } ?>

      <?php
    }
}
        ?>

However, for some reason it seems a DirectoryIterator within a DirectoryIterator is no good (the $dir2 was for test purposes). Or I could have a syntax issue. The reason I want this to work this way is because I want the files to be contained in
file
 html and the files under a directory to be in
file-in-folder
 format.
If there is a better way to do this, please let me know! Thanks!
EDIT: I changed $1file to $file1 and it works fine, even appended the dir; however, I basically want something like a for loop that will keep creating the collapsibles within each other if there is still a directory present. Basically so it would automatically create the formatting if I had:
Dir1 (main) >
   File 1 //link
   File 2 //link
   Dir 1 > //collapsible header
      File 1.1 //collapsible button
      File 1.2 //...
      Dir 2 >
        File 2.1
        File 2.2
   Dir 3

Without me having to write 10 nested DirectoryIterators, just in case you can go down that far.

A: I think you are using an invalid variable name. PHP accepts variables starting with letters and underscore followed by other chars. Try $file1 instead of $1file
Cheers!
http://php.net/manual/en/language.variables.basics.php

A: This is my logic, probably you can get some idea from here.
if your main folder looks like this

then here is the code to get the folder structures.
echo '
';
$dir='folders';
$files = array_slice(scandir($dir), 2);
foreach($files as $k=>$file){
$dir1=$dir.'/'.$file;
if(is_dir($dir1)){
    $files1 = array_slice(scandir($dir1), 2);
    if(!$files1){
        $FOLDERS[$file]=$file;
    }else{
        foreach($files1 as $kk=>$file1){
            $dir2=$dir1.'/'.$file1;
            $files2 = array_slice(scandir($dir2), 2);
            if(!$files2){
                $FOLDERS[$file][$file1]=$file1;
            }else{
                foreach($files2 as $file2){
                    $FOLDERS[$file][$file1][$file2]=$file2;
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
}
print_r($FOLDERS);

Output:
Array
(
    [folder1] => folder1
    [folder2] => Array
        (
        [folder3] => Array
            (
                [folder4] => folder4
            )

        [folder5] => folder5
        [folder6] => folder6
    )

)
i used it only to scan the folders, you can extend it according to your needs.

Tax Day 2019, the last day to file your 2018 tax return, is Monday, April 15. It's the first tax season under the new tax law President Donald Trump enacted in late 2017. It was the most significant overhaul of the US tax code in 30 years. According to IRS data, the average federal tax refund amount is down about 8% from last year, to $1,865. If you receive a smaller refund or owe money to the IRS, it's not an indication that you're worse off financially, according to financial experts. We're two weeks into the 2019 tax filing season and refunds are starting to roll in.
Smaller refunds are a likely result of the new tax law President Donald Trump enacted in late 2017, which was the most significant overhaul of the US tax code in 30 years. The tax law instituted new guidelines for how much employers should withhold from employees' paychecks for taxes, resulting in an increase in take-home pay for about 90% of Americans, Business Insider's Bob Bryan reported.
Employees who didn't adjust their withholdings after the new guidelines were released could be receiving a smaller refund than they expected this year, Mark Jaeger, the director of tax development at TaxAct, told Business Insider.
"Depending on a filer's tax situation, they may not get as large of a refund this year as they're used to if they didn't adjust their withholdings in 2018. That said, they shouldn't immediately be alarmed if that's the case," Jaeger said.
"Many filers received a boost in their paychecks throughout 2018; that's where the remaining amount of their refund went," he said. "Instead of waiting to receive their money as a tax refund, they received it all year long."
"The good news is the IRS just announced they are waiving the estimated-tax penalty for any taxpayers whose 2018 federal income tax withholding and estimated tax payments fell unexpectedly short of their total tax liability for the year," Jaeger said. It means that if you paid at least 85% of your tax liability through the year, you won't have to pay the typical late-payment penalty.
As Business Insider's Lauren Lyons Cole, a certified financial planner, said, "I always try to either owe slightly or break even when filing my tax return." A tax refund of zero means you optimized your income throughout the year, putting yourself in the best possible position to increase your net worth, she said.
"Some individuals like receiving a larger refund because they use it as a savings account," Jaeger said. "It's a way for them to save a significant chunk of money throughout the year. For some, that's a perfectly fine strategy, as long as you can cover all of your other expenses throughout the year."

These recipe and instructions will show you how to make Nigerian Moi moi.
700g of Black eyed or brown beans OR Use beans flour.
Soak the beans for about 1 hour (Or overnight), wash it by scrubbing the skin of it. Make sure all the beans coat are removed.
Use a good blender, grind the beans at this point, let the coat-less beans soak in water again to soften it further.
But if you are using corned beef or sardines, remove them and keep aside.
Wash the pepper and slice the onions.
Blend the beans with the onions, tatashe, atarodo, bouillon cubes and crayfish (Add a little water to help the blender work well) till you achieve a smooth paste. Remember to feel the paste between your fingers. It should not feel gritty. If it feels gritty, add water and blend again.
If you prefer to use beans flour, mix the flour in a little water. Pour the paste into the blender, add crayfish, atarodo, onions, and bouillon cubes, and then blend until it's smooth. Then move to the next step below.
Pour the blended beans into a big bowl, add some water and stir slowly until you achieve a lighter consistency but not too watery.
Add the vegetable oil, add salt (taste and add if needed), mix properly and then take out either the foil paper, disposable plates, leaves, nylons (depending on what you want to use).
Pour the mixture into each of the containers, add the small pieces of eggs (or any of the garnishes you prefer) in each of the container. Seal the containers and set aside.
Line the pot with foil, pour some water and set to boil. After some minutes, place the sealed moi moi containers into the pot and leave to steam.
As the moi moi is cooking, add a little quantity of water in the pot from time to time to avoid it burning.
After 50 minutes, put a knife through the moi-moi and if the knife comes out clean, then the moi moi is ready. However, the cooking time of moi moi depends on the type of container and the quantity of the moi moi. If you aren't sure of the moi moi being cooked, you can leave it to cook for 1 hour and 30 minutes while adding water in the pot from time to time.
Finally, take out the moi moi from the pot and leave to cool before turning it into a plate.
Bon appétit! You can serve with rice or just enjoy it like that.

Despite his past reluctance to take a stance on fellow Texas Republican Sen. John Cornyn's bid for Minority Whip, following Cornyn's win newly elected Sen. Ted Cruz said he's now on board.
Cruz, a tea party darling, is an open dissident within the established Republican Party in which Cornyn has earned political clout.
Cruz previously said he refused to announce his picks for leadership positions until he was elected. In a solid red state like Texas, it didn't sit well among some Republicans.
Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, who lost to Cruz in the Republican primary, criticized Cruz' unwillingness to show support for the soon-to-be senior senator.
Now it's up to the old and the new to work together, or not, in Congress' next session.

It's my turn to choose the theme at Cardz 4 Guyz, and I'd like to see something inspired by a film, book or piece of music.
I was planning to do the film Rocky, as I knew I had a boxing glove image on a CD somewhere, so I started browsing through my CDs to find it (if you are interested, it's in the Sports and Hobbies section of The Best of La Pashe 2014). But as I scrolled, I suddenly realised I was humming the old George Formby song "When I'm cleaning windows".
The CD I was browsing was another La Pashe one called "Something for Everyone" and the window cleaner image had got so firmly embedded in my brain I just had to use it!
The background is embossed with a Crafters Companion embossing folder and the ladder die cut with a die from the First Edition Tools set.
There are several layers of simple decoupage - not enough for a detailed image, just enough to add interest to it.
I finished the "cleaned" section of the glass with Glossy Accents and added clear Wink of Stella to the "foamy" areas.
And for my younger, or non-British friends who may not be familiar with the song, here it is - the image is perfect for it!
Fantastic, Jane! Love the brick embossed background and the dimension you achieved by layering the different image parts. The Glossy Accents and Wink of Stella really worked well. As I said, this is as fantastic card!
A fabulous card Jane, such a fun decoupage image.

My name is Ina Glaes and I am the package owner for retail specific rapid-deployment solution. I'm happy to share some very interesting experiences Karsten Meyer, the founder and CEO of elephantconsulting made with SAP Planning for Retail rapid-deployment solution in Brazil.
Ina: What was your way to know and learn about this retail specific package?
Karsten: Well, we are working in the area of enterprise performance management, especially planning since around 10 years. Since 5 years mainly in Retail/Trade. In 2013, during a SAP Training on the SAP Planning for Retail solution, we were presented the SAP Planning for Retail rapid-deployment solution. Then during a SAP Partner enablement workshop we went into detail in terms of architecture, scope, philosophie and ideal project management approach. This was very helpful and necessary in order to bring fast benefit to customer engagements in this area.
Ina: You told me about two projects in Brazil where you were involved. One was about a non-seasonal retailer, right?
Karsten: Yes, you're right. In parallel to a SAP Retail implementation, this customer decided to go with SAP Planning for Retail. The project started with an installation of the rapid-deployment solution, so that the customer could get a look and feel of a running planning solution based on his own merchandise hierarchies.
Ina: Could they use the solution as it is?
Karsten: Not 100% in production, but we could use the system as a starting point to identify and prioritize gaps in GAP Fit Analysis workshops.
At elephant, we combine the RAPID-DEPLOYMENT SOLUTION with an agile Project Management framework approach.
Based on a selected gap list the gaps are getting realized within 2 to maxium 4 week sprints and the results of every sprint are shown to the customer directly in the system. After every sprint the customer may prioritize his gaps again, so that a productive solution is being developed incrementally.
Ina: What do you see here as the biggest advantage of the package approach compared to a traditional project approach?
Karsten: My experience of requirements gathering phases is, that it is a huge challenge for key users to express what they need until they finally see a running system in front of them. Even though the SAP RAPID-DEPLOYMENT SOLUTION may not be completely fullfilling all customers requirements, it is far easier for a key user to express himself with a running system, to define gaps/user stories which are then later being developed.
Because we had the chance to present pre-configured scenarios so early in the project, the communication and discussion about functionalities, gaps and so on took place more or less completely in front of the system. This is a much more outputoriented and efficient approach than starting from scratch with excel mock-ups or power point.
Ina: Could you achieve similar savings also in your second project in Brazil?
Karsten: Yes, the customer situation was different here. A high fashion retailer, currently implementing SAP Appearal and Footwear Solution, had a huge interest on a semi-automated planning process covering merchandise and assortment planning, store planning, sell-in, sell-out including the integration to the corporate financial planning.
Ina: What was your approach in this project?
Karsten: We installed SAP Planning for Retail RAPID-DEPLOYMENT SOLUTION with the prepared test data and the customer learned, that an RAPID-DEPLOYMENT SOLUTION helps them to validate their own expectations. Based on the strategic channel mix plan, they start now to specify their functional requirements.
Ina: So, I understand that in both projects, the rapid-deployment solution helps to shorten the blue-print phase by having a system up and running with predefined business processes?
Karsten: Absolutely. This is really a huge advantage, because otherwise you start very often completely from scratch, you ask the customer how the process should look like – and this could be a very long lasting process if you don't have something to start with. It's much easier if you can start enhancements based on an existing process scenario, if you can see it and touch it, play with it.
With rapid-deployment solutions, customers have the possibility of checking step-by-step if they can make good use of the preconfigured process, if they may need simply one additional distribution function to process data or if they are fine with processes A and B, however want to have a totally custom designed process for C.
Especially companies who have just started up with business intelligence solutions and integrated planning can increase their process maturity by using rapid-deployment solutions as a starting point.
Ina: What is crucial to have a successful implementation starting with an RAPID-DEPLOYMENT SOLUTION?
Karsten: You need to have a mixed team of hybrid consultants understanding the language of the customers as well as knowing about the workload of gaps to be implemented when presenting the package and making a process walkthrough with the customer.
During the enhancement development, it is important to work time-boxed and have regular interaction points with key users in front of the system. Thus, every 2-4 weeks new productive releases can be launched which increases trust between customers and service provider and minimizes project risks.
Ina: What happens in Brazil next?
Karsten: The country is pretty much busy with the soccer world championship, and also with the election in October.
However, the brazilian market strategically has a very strong momentum and retailers in brasil as everywhere in the world need to prepare their market for multi-channeling. Therefore, there is a lot of work ahead to optimize processes, provide analytics and planning and forcasting solutions. The SAP packages for Retail scenarios will help retailers in all areas - POS solutions, customer analytics, forcasting and replenishment, planning of inventory, sales and margin by channel, channel mix, store and customer centricity.
We are offering this implementation service now almost globally with project teams on site as well in developer laps supporting the field team.
Ina: It seems that the concept of this rapid-deployment solution to shorten the blueprint significant by providing preconfigured processes and UI's turned out pretty well. Karsten, thanks for sharing these insights!

CAN slams Islamic Council over hijab, Appeal Court Justices
By The Nation On Apr 11, 2021
By Gbenga Omokhunu, Abuja
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has described the attack by the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) on the hijab crisis and appointment of Appeal Court Justices as evasive.
NSCIA, a few weeks ago, attacked CAN for opposing the nomination of 13 Northerners/ Muslims out of the 20 jurists listed as Court of Appeal Justices.
The Sultan of Sokoto-led council also accused CAN of beating a war drum over the introduction of hijab in mission schools in Ilorin, Kwara State.
It said the Christian body has not only shown morbid hatred for Islam and its adherents but always adopted scurrilous propaganda as a strategy of causing undue tension in the country.
But CAN fired back the Judiciary was the appendage of NSCIA under the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari, especially throughout his first term, adding members of the Islamic council were in charge of affairs.
It said: "Our attention has been drawn to a Press Statement issued by the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) where the Council used vulgar, immature language and unprintable words to describe the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in its bid to justify the obvious lopsided appointments of the Federal Government in favour of its members. The Council was smart by half when it picked an example of just one arm of Government without addressing the totality of fundamental questions on all the arms of government.
"The NSCIA evaded those troubling issues that are well known not only to Nigerians but members of the international community; those knotty issues that have pushed our country on the edge of precipice.
"By doing so, NSCIA has unwittingly exposed itself as a promoter of bad governance, divisiveness and injustice in Nigeria under the Buhari administration.

"Why did the Council remain evasive on the big issue of the Court of Appeal? Interestingly, there was never a time when CAN ever attacked or made veiled reference to NSCIA over the obvious lopsided appointments in the country.
"CAN's concern has always been directed at the Federal Government as a concerned non-governmental group but NSCIA as an underdog of Government rather took it upon itself to speak for the Government. We wish the Council had allowed the Government to speak for itself.
"We all know how they removed Justice Walter Onnoghen from office without following due process. But for the critical section of the polity including the likes of Col. Umar Dangiwa, the incumbent President of the Court of Appeal would have been denied her succession privilege and right. We didn't see NSCIA on the list.
"Is it falsehood or character assassination that the Security Council of the country has remained an appendage of NSCIA under the watch of President Muhammadu Buhari?

"The Constitutional position is that all of us, Christians and Moslems are stakeholders in this country, and votes were not collated on the basis of religion.
"So for the government to bend or lean towards Muslims in its appointment of Security Chiefs is unconstitutional and doesn't take into consideration the varied interests of other ethnic and religious groups."
On hijab, CAN said: "Up till today, it is those things that cannot bring development in education that the NSCIA members are still fighting for such as the wearing of hijab in schools started by Christians and are still largely being maintained by them.
"Will a girl wearing hijab be more brilliant in school than the rest of her counterparts? They have forgotten that till today, we are not mounting pressure on the government to introduce the Christian culture to the Islamic schools."

BELOIT - Prioritizing kid's teeth is what the Beloit Area Community Health Center (BACHC) is asking the community to keep in mind with February being National Children's Dental Health Month. Dr. Katie Wilson recommends that parents establish a dental home for their children by their first birthday at the latest.
"The main thing to keep in mind is how important baby teeth are," Wilson said. "They can cause cavities and pain, and that can be traumatic for kids."
She said seeing a dentist before kids are one means they'll be used to sitting in the chair and having a dentist examine their mouth.
"Having a stranger put their hands in their mouth can be a strange experience for kids," Wilson said.
She also asks parents to consider not using negative words when referring to dentists. Trying to keep it positive will limit the possibility of the kids being scared by dentists.
Many parents wait until the child is five years old to have them see a dentist, because parents will wait until their kid is in school or they can see a cavity or other anomaly.
Wilson said waiting that long can be problematic for children's oral health.
"As soon as parents can see the cavities it means they've progressed pretty far," Wilson said.
She said it's common for children to develop cavities, especially if they have a bottle in bed or drink juice throughout the day.
"I've seen kids as young as one have cavities," Wilson said.
Kids should start brushing as soon as they have teeth, and she said it's recommended parents start wiping their child's gums with a towel even before they have teeth.
Children, like adults, should brush two times per day and should start flossing as soon as their teeth are touching.
Parents should be brushing their kid's teeth until the kids are 5 years old.
"Usually we say if they can't tie their shoes, they can't brush their teeth," Wilson said. "Even after five it's recommended parents go in after kids brush and help them brush again."
Though BACHC's dental clinic is busy with patients, staff members try to get kids in for appointments as soon as possible. The clinic accepts all insurances and offers a sliding fee to work within a family's income. For more information, call 608-361-0311 or visit chsofwi.org.


Despite dogs being the most popular pet in Australia, with almost 300,000 dogs registered in South Australia last financial year, RSPCA South Australia believes many owners fail their canine companions by not taking the time to understand them.
The consequences of this failure to learn "dog talk" are significant.
In the last two financial years, councils have received an average of around 2,500 complaints about dog behaviour. In addition, of the 553 dogs surrendered to RSPCA South Australia's Lonsdale shelter last year, almost 30% (158) were surrendered by their owners for behavioural reasons.
Heather Bradley, who is the Dog Training Coordinator for RSPCA South Australia's soon to open dog training school, described the situation as "tragic" for dogs and their owners.
"It's a big decision to surrender an animal, and people do it for many different, valid and often heartbreaking reasons," Ms Bradley said.
"But when the decision is because of behaviour, it's highly likely that ignorance about the dog's needs and a failure to understand the dog's body language have played a role in the relationship breakdown.
An article by leading animal behaviourist Dr Kersti Seksel identifies euthanasia due to behavioural problems as the main cause of death of puppies under one year of age in Australia.
Ms Bradley said she is not surprised by the finding.
"It's vital to start training, if possible, while the dog is still a puppy because what happens in the first three months of life has a big impact on long term development.
In line with the RSPCA's Lead by Example campaign, the classes will employ force-free training methods that focus on rewarding good behaviour and ignoring (not punishing) undesirable behaviour.
"It isn't about suppressing natural behaviours but instead harnessing them to be used in ways that help the dog fit into our world, all the while developing trust and a strong bond between the dog and owner," Ms Bradley said.
Funds raised from dog training fees will support RSPCA SA's work for animals in need, including rescue, rehabilitation and rehoming.
For more information on classes and schedules, please visit: www.rspcasa.org.au/dog-training.
To help promote the benefits of force-free training, RSPCA South Australia has created a free and easy-to-follow six-part dog training series. Sign up here.
