Norwegian Black Metallers MAYHEM will re-release a remastered edition of their "Grand Declaration Of War" album on December 07, 2018 via Season Of Mist. To get a taste of the new edition check out a special made video right here. Jaime Gomez Arellano, who remastered the album at Orgone Studios in the UK, issued the following statement about the intention behind it: "It was a challenging remix to do, starting with the now obsolete format it was recorded in (ADAT). When we got the tapes, they were sent to a tape transfer specialist here in the UK and they were in a tape incubator for a couple of days to ensure the the tapes weren't destroyed when played back on the ADAT deck (tape doesn't age well if not stored correctly). Although the overall recording of "Grand Declaration Of War" was done to a very high standard, the main two things that bugged me was the drum sound and the overall crispiness / digital thin-sound of it (ADAT's don't sound very good IMO). The biggest challenge (you guessed it) was the drums. Hellhammer recorded on an early Roland Vdrum kit with real cymbals. Back then those clicky, super compressed drum sounds were cool, but I think most of us agree these days that it's an unnatural sound and the samples themselves weren't that good. I had to split each tom hit into a separate track, which was very time consuming. I literally had to go pretty much though every drum hit to make sure the new samples were triggering correctly and believe me, there are A LOT of drum hits on this album. My goal was to make it sound more like a real kit. After much work and refining, Hellhammer came to visit me at my studio for a few days where we went through every drum track to ensure it was accurate to his performance. The bass guitar pretty much didn't exist on this album! After bringing it it forward and beefed it up, I was surprised to hear some very cool bass lines that I've never noticed before. The recorded guitar sounds were killer actually, they were just a little thin and crispy so I gave them more "body" and a bit more "warmth" without hindering Rune's quantum precision. I was told by Rune that Maniac didn't want any changes to his voice and I totally respect that. I painstakingly compared the original album vocal effects and levels to preserve it as close as I could. I ended up mastering the album to analogue tape to get a bit more warmth, depth and bottom end. I hope you all enjoy this new mix of this legendary album!" MAYHEM will also release a very special leather boxset, containing both LP versions of "Grand Declaration Of War", the 12" LPs of "Chimera" (2004) and "Ordo Ad Chao" (2007)', the 10" EP of "Wolf's Liar Abyss" (1997) and two 10" EPs containing never released bonus tracks.

The album will be released on October 26, 2018 via Season Of Mist. Mastermind Erik Rutan comments: "'All Hope Destroyed' is an anomaly on the new record. Controlled chaos yet unbridled insanity with a dramatic melodic ending. As the song builds into a frenzy it ends with a epic finale. It encapsulates so much of who HATE ETERNAL are musically, but also explores a bit of new territory never fully realized before. This song is a unique entity on the new HATE ETERNAL album and one I believe truly shines on "Upon Desolate Sands"." More about HATE ETERNAL at www.facebook.com/hate.eternal

Q: JavaScript compilation error: Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token '>' in string variable at if condition -- Snowflake Here is the error message

JavaScript compilation error: Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token '>' in HP_SEARCHCBHMESSAGES at ' if (Fac123 <> "") ' position 1..

Some reason SF doesn't like if condition (Fac123 <> "" ), have tried if (Fac123 <> '' ) but same error
Please help!
CALL PROC1('param1' )

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE PROC1("param1" nvarchar(100) )
returns varchar

AS
$$

var Fac123 = param1
**if (Fac123 <> "" )**
    {
      sql12 = " AND "
    }
return sql12 ;

A: Inside a JavaScript procedure the only valid language to use is Javascript.
Therefore you have to use a javascript "not equals" which is !==
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE PROC1("param1" nvarchar(100) )
returns varchar
language javascript
AS
$$

var Fac123 = param1
if (Fac123 !== "" )
{
      sql12 = " AND "
}
return sql12 ;
$$;

now it can be used
call PROC1('blar');

gives:

PROC1

AND

but passing in an empty string..
call PROC1('');

gives an error, because your code doesn't handle that path yet.

100132 (P0000): JavaScript execution error: Uncaught ReferenceError: sql12 is not defined in PROC1 at 'return sql12 ;' position 0
stackstrace:
PROC1 line: 8

A: The provided code suggests a trial to build a code generator, a pattern called kitchen sink(i.e. if a parameter is provided it should be included otherwise removed from WHERE condion).
Alternative approach is to simply use NULL safe comparison. If the missing value is passed as empty string then:
SELECT *
FROM ...
WHERE ...
  AND col IS NOT DISTINCT FROM COALESCE(NULLIF("param1", ''), col)

If the missing value is passed as NULL from the app then it is much simpler:
SELECT *
FROM ...
WHERE ...
  AND col IS NOT DISTINCT FROM COALESCE("param1", col)

This way all to stack the conditions in advance using AND:
SELECT *
FROM ...
WHERE ...
  AND col  IS NOT DISTINCT FROM COALESCE("param1", col)
  AND col2 IS NOT DISTINCT FROM COALESCE("param2", col2)
  AND col3 IS NOT DISTINCT FROM COALESCE("param3", col3)
  -- ...

Params provided as NULL are defaulted to colX and colX <=> colX is always true.

A: Need to fix 'if' statement and put semi-colon after var declaration, please refer below -

Modal identification of a high-rise building subjected to a landfall typhoon via both deterministic and Bayesian methods
Yuncheng He, Zhen Liu, Zhi Li, Jiurong Wu, Jiyang Fu
Joint Research Center for Engineering Structure Disaster Prevention and Control, Guangzhou University Guangdong 510006, China
Special Issues: Mathematical Methods in Civil Engineering
Modal identification involves primarily the determination of natural frequencies, damping ratios, mode shapes of a dynamic system, etc. It is usually regarded as an essential task in a wide branch of structural dynamics and civil engineering, such as structural vibration control and damage identification of buildings or bridges. There are many modal identification techniques. Basically, these techniques can be categorized into two groups: deterministic methods and Bayesian approaches. The first group can be used to provide deterministic (or optimal) estimations of modal parameters, but they are unable to quantify the estimation uncertainties. The second group is based on a usage of the Bayesian framework. Compared to the first group, the second group of methods has a typical merit of being able to offer uncertainty information of identified parameters, which is of great interests, or even necessary, for some follow-up studies. In this paper, both a deterministic method, i.e., a combination of spectral analysis, filtering and Random Decrement Technique (RDT), and a Bayesian method, i.e., Bayesian Spectral Density Approach (BSDA), are exploited to experimentally identify the modal parameters of a 303 m high-rise building that was subjected to a landfall typhoon. The validity and efficiency of each method is verified by comparing the two kinds of results. Meanwhile, the identified modal parameters are used for the serviceability assessment of this high-rise building against some frequency-specific criteria.

Robber terrified his family at their home in Leeds then escaped from police when he was under guard at Leeds General Infirmary
Her Royal Highness Princess Anne visits Whitby
Hundreds of people have turned out in Whitby today to catch a glimpse of a member of the royal family.
Wednesday, 1st August 2018, 2:59 pm
Updated Wednesday, 1st August 2018, 3:08 pm
Princess Anne
On Yorkshire Day Her Royal Highness Princess Anne, the only daughter of Queen Elizabeth, has visited the seaside town to perform the naming ceremony of WetWheels Yorkshire, a boat specially designed to take disabled people out to sea.
Geoff Holt, a disabled yatchsman, founded the project six years ago when he realised that many people were finding it impossible to access the sea because of their disabilities.
Speaking before the arrival of the Princess he said: "Six years ago I started my little boat, my little dream and now here I am waiting for Princess Anne to arrive to physically name my boat and pour champagne on it.
"I'm delighted, I'm excited and it's a great testament to my idea and my team who have put a lot of work into this."
HRH the Princess arrived at Whitby harbour shortly after 11am and after shaking hands with Geoff himself and other representatives from WetWheels, she made her way down the pontoon to board the vessel and unveil the plaque.
There she met members of the staff who showed her round the boat and talked to children from Saint Martin's hospice, the passengers of today's trip.
MP for Scarborough and Whitby Robert Goodwill who assisted the ceremony said: "Princess Anne is one my favourite royals. I met her a few times when I was Shipping Minister and she's very much involved with the shipping charities and it's great that she's come along today to give this boat its final seal of approval.
This boat will be here for many years to come allowing local people with disabilities to actually get behind the wheel of a powerboat and enjoy one of the activities that many take for granted."
Following the naming ceremony, HRH Princess Anne attended a private reception at The Star Inn The Harbour.


We would like to thank all of our guests & suppliers for your continued support and on behalf of The Adamson Team we wish you and your family a very Happy Christmas and a wonderful 2019.
Please note we will be closed on December 25th & 26th and January 1st. The Restaurant & Bar will also be closed from 7th – 20th January 2019 for significant refurbishment and we look forward to welcoming you to the new look Adamson in 2019 – more details to follow.


PITTSBURGH (AP) - A prosecutor on Friday urged a federal judge to sentence "Dance Moms" star Abby Lee Miller to prison instead of probation for bankruptcy fraud.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Gregory Melucci called witnesses to buttress his contention that the reality TV show star tried to avoid repaying hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt by hiding about $775,000 in income from a bankruptcy court.
Miller's attorneys will call witnesses when the hearing continues Feb. 24, after which she'll be sentenced. Miller and her attorneys said they won't comment until then.
Melucci faces an uphill battle to convince U.S. District Judge Joy Flowers Conti that Miller deserves two to 2 1/2 years in prison.
That's because the judge filed tentative findings on the eve of Friday's hearing essentially agreeing with the defense argument that Miller deserves probation because no creditors lost money once the bankruptcy fraud was discovered.
But Melucci said the law allows Conti to sentence Miller based on the amount of money she intended to avoid repaying.
He said the only reason for Miller to hide income was to avoid repaying everything she owed. "No one would rob a bank if he knew it had no money in it," Melucci argued.
Miller filed for bankruptcy largely because she had defaulted on a $245,000 mortgage on a Florida condominium and a $96,000 mortgage on her dance studio in Penn Hills, a Pittsburgh suburb. She listed nearly $60,000 in other debts, including unpaid property taxes.
Miller wanted the Chapter 11 bankruptcy court to let her repay only $150,000 of the condominium mortgage at a lower interest rate - and at one point offered to forfeit the property to avoid repaying anything. She sought to repay her other debts in full, but without interest or at lower rates.
The outraged bankruptcy judge eventually ordered Miller to repay every penny.
Miller pleaded guilty in June to purposely hiding her income in financial disclosure statements filed with the bankruptcy court starting in 2012. People who file Chapter 11 must honestly disclose their assets so the creditors can fairly assess whether to approve any court-approved repayment plan.
"The entire Chapter 11 system is based on full disclosure, and if there's not full disclosure, the whole system falls apart," U.S. Bankruptcy Trustee Larry Wahlquist testified.
But Miller repeatedly hid her true income - as well as contracts for future income from her TV shows - until her channel-surfing bankruptcy judge saw her on TV and concluded Miller must be making far more than the $8,899 in monthly income she initially declared.
Wahlquist testified Miller earned $8,000 to $25,000 per episode as her popularity exploded, and deposited money in nonapproved bank accounts to hide assets.
Miller eventually coughed up $288,000 in TV income she'd received. Federal investigators later determined she had hidden nearly $550,000 more from personal appearances, dance sessions and merchandise sales.
Miller made a major concession on an unrelated charge that she also pleaded guilty to in June, sneaking $120,000 in foreign currency into the country from Australia in 2014.
Miller agreed to forfeit that money, which she previously sought to avoid. In return, prosecutors won't ask the judge to enhance Miller's sentence for using children to help in that scheme.
Prosecutors can't comment on that and haven't named the children. They have said in court documents that Miller divvied up money and hid it in the luggage of others in her party to avoid a federal law requiring people to report bringing more than $10,000 in foreign currency into the country.
This story has been corrected to show the bankruptcy trustee's last name is Wahlquist, not Wahlchrist.

I had to mention my favorite childhood Easter Candies Peeps!
I couldn't get enough of the sugar coated marshmallows!
Marshmallow EASTER candy...YUM! We still fight over the PINK ones at my house, lol! I love, love, love those...almost as much as Cotton Candy!
I was never a big fan of peeps! :( I like the candy coated eggs and regular chocolate bunnies. Have you been to Bakerella's blog to see what she did to the bunny peeps? She's amazing! Happy Easter!!
Cute pics of your Peeps! My Easter basket favorite has always been mini malted eggs. Yummm!
Oh I'm a marshmallow freak too Cathleen! I love mine coated in the darkest chocolate I can find - yumm!
Have a wonderful Easter weekend with all your Darlings sweet girl.
I could never do peeps, although I loved how they look. As far as my favorite, I was huge on Laffy Taffy as a kid...grape flavored. Now it's chocolate with peanut butter. Really any chocolate will do actually!
Rich and Annie LOVE Peeps, but I can't stand them LOL My favorite Easter candy is See's chocolate eggs.... yum! Can you believe they don't have those out here??

Q: Compiling font awesome 4.5.0 with ruby sass I'm trying to compile Font Awesome (v4.5.0) from the sass source using the sass gem v3.4.19 (Selective Steve). I'm compiling with
sass sass/font-awesome.scss css/font-awesome.css

using the defaults set by font awesome, i.e. fonts are in '../fonts', however upon compiling all the source, all fa classes display the following square rather than the unicode value:
.fa-lemon-o:before {
  content: "";
}

I thought this was an encoding issue, but all the files appear to be using the utf-8 encoding. I suspect it's the sass gem ignoring the encoding, but i've tried forcing it with -E utf-8
I'm can't seem to see what I'm doing wrong/what I've missed. Any help would be much appreciated.

A: It turns out there's a breaking change in 3.4.x versions of sass that cause the above issues. However there's a reusable function that can be used to force a unicode value out.

Happy (two-month) birthday to Elliott!
Our teeny babe is two months old today… and he's not so teeny anymore. When he goes in for his check-up on Wednesday, we expect he'll be approaching 12 lbs, and he'll be getting his first round of vaccinations like a big boy!
He had a very exciting weekend for his two month birthday: he met several new friends; he looked at things and danced at the Grant Park Summer Shade Festival; and he enjoyed his first Blessing of the Animals service at church. As he'd only ever met one dog before, the service was quite fascinating for him (and he was quite fascinating for many of the dogs too)!
being 2 months old is sooo tiring!

5 Epic U.S. Road Trips for Nature Lovers
Discover diverse landscapes, scenic coastlines and breathtaking backdrops across America.
By Kacey Mya, Contributor Jan. 24, 2017

From the legendary Overseas Highway along the Florida Keys to the dramatic forest- and national park-lined Blue Ridge Parkway, there are plenty of enticing drives across the country.(Getty Images)
Embracing the great outdoors can be revitalizing. After all, taking in awe-inspiring scenery along classic routes can help you unwind, recharge and boost your overall well-being and connectivity to the world at large. So, if you're ready to admire spectacular landscapes across the country, get your hiking gear, sketch pad and walking stick in gear and pack up the car for a road trip to remember.
[See: 11 Can't-Miss Hiking Trails in the USA.]
Take a week to drive 469 miles along this winding and scenic mountain range named for its misty blue color. Connected by two national parks – Shenandoah National Park and Great Smoky Mountains National Park – the parkway stretches from Front Royal, Virginia to Cherokee, North Carolina. In Front Royal, make sure to check out the Dickey Ridge Visitor Center to hike along part of the parkway, and visit Fox Hollow and Snead farm for an exhilarating adventure. At Shenandoah National Park, which is just west of the District of Columbia, you'll find 500 trails filled with scenic paths and thick forests. Plus, there are many unique cabins, restaurants and antique shops along the route. Many people use this parkway to visit other major attractions, but the views and natural sights (including more than 1,400 known species of plants) of the Blue Ridge Parkway merit a trip all on their own.
The Loneliest Road (Route 50)
Despite its melancholy name, the Loneliest Road in America is an awe-inspiring route for bonafide nature lovers. Set off on a wild adventure that stretches from Sacramento, California, to Ocean City, Maryland. Driving across the country, you'll experience diverse weather conditions and beautiful scenery. This road trip weaves through brilliant mountain ranges, including the Sierra Nevada, Appalachian and Rocky Mountains. Camp out and stargaze in iconic national parks like the Great Basin National Park in Nevada, where you can spot thousands of stars on a clear night and catch jaw-dropping views of the Milky Way.
[See: 10 Stops to Make on a Vermont Road Trip.]
This scenic stretch is perfect for car lovers and nature lovers, alike. The drive begins in Pontiac, Illinois, where the Route 66 Association Hall of Fame and Museum and the Pontiac Oakland Auto Museum pay tribute to the classic brand. However, the backdrops along Route 66, all the way from Illinois to California, are especially spectacular. You'll pass by legendary natural wonders, such as the Grand Canyon, the Colorado River and the Black Mountains. This nostalgic route is also legendary for its link to pop culture. It's been featured in iconic poems, rock songs, television series and even John Steinbeck's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, "The Grapes of Wrath."
Follow the might of the Mississippi River as it winds north from Minnesota and south to Louisiana. You'll cover 3,000 miles through 10 states, along with plenty of off-the-beaten-path towns. Another iconic road trip that taps into national nostalgia, this route will take you to interesting heights and takes about 10 days to complete. Wisconsin and Iowa offer striking and hilly terrain, and the Delta region spanning Memphis, Tennessee, and New Orleans yields unforgettable views. If you're a history aficionado, you won't want to skip stopping in Vicksburg, Mississippi, which features stories attractions like the Vicksburg National Military Park, along with a myriad of shops and restaurants. If you make it to New Orleans, toast a well-traveled road trip with the world's first mixed drink – the Sazerac, which was first created in the Crescent City.
[See: 6 Amazing All-American Road Trips to Take This Summer.]
The Overseas Highway (Route 1)
The Overseas Highway, a 113-mile drive along Route 1 connecting the Florida Keys offers the ultimate road trip for nature lovers and wildlife enthusiasts, alike. The highway was historically developed for the Florida East Coast Railway in 1912, but it was destroyed by a hurricane in 1935. As a result, road construction turned the route into a beautiful, winding highway. This trip only takes a few hours, spanning from Miami to Key West, Florida. Make sure to carve out some stops for fishing, eating freshly caught seafood, enjoying a picnic and catching beautiful sunsets along the way. And don't skip stretching your legs and taking in spectacular scenery at John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, Seven Mile Bridge and Bahia Honda State Park.

Intravenous injection of drugs meant for oral administration results in the deposition within lung capillaries, arterioles, or small to medium-size arteries of filler substances or tablet disintegrants, including talc, cornstarch, microcrystalline cellulose, and crospovidone. Talc or other powdery materials used to dilute, or cut, illicit drugs such as heroin can also deposit in the lung vasculature. As a result of the deposit of these foreign materials within the lung vasculature, angiothrombosis or foreign body granulomatous reaction can occur. Pulmonary hypertension is a rare result of long-term drug abuse most likely due to ongoing vascular obstruction.
In transbronchial biopsies from intravenous drug abusers, granulomatous inflammation or foreign body giant cell granulomas may be identified in the lumen and walls of capillaries and arterioles and occasionally in small to medium-size arteries. Granulomas may be found outside of the vasculature, and there may be variable amounts of fibrosis present. Multinucleated giant cells can contain polarizable crystalline foreign material (microcrystalline cellulose); polarizable round particles with a "Maltese cross" pattern (cornstarch); or irregular, platelike, approximately 0.5 to 50 μm polarizable foreign material (talc).

Smuggling of contraband at Nigerian border posts and creeks is a thriving business despite ban on importation of the products by the federal government. YUSUF BABALOLA writes.
Nigeria is a country in West Africa. It shares land borders with the Republic of Benin in the West, Chad and Cameroon in the East, and Niger Republic in the North.
Nigeria with a land mass of 4,000 square kilometres coverage, has well over 1,400 illegal routes which are not manned.
The number of illegal routes is 100 times more than the number of approved routes.
With only 84 approved land border control posts designated in the 1980s after the Maitatsine riots, there are more than 1,400 illegal borders spanning across the country where illegal activities especially smuggling is taking place.
In Ogun State, there are at least 83 illegal routes while in Adamawa the country has about 80 illegal routes with which illegal trade and migration takes place unabated.
For instance, in the Idiroko and Seme border, lot of smuggling occurs at the illegal routes with several thousand of banned items such as foreign parboiled rice, vehicles, poultry products, groundnut oil among others are illegally exported into the country on a daily basis.
However due to the attendant implication of massive smuggling into the country, the federal government placed a ban on importation of foreign parboiled rice, Vehicles -used and new, frozen chicken, vegetable oil, textile materials through the land borders.
Since, the government announced the restriction, smugglers have devised another means of moving vehicles into the country which included using officers of the border command to smuggle the items into the country.
But, left for the Federal Operations Unit, zone A and the ad-hoc unit set up by the Comptroller General of Customs, Col. Hameed Ali, (rtd), smugglers would have over ran the South West zone the same way they have taken over activities unabated at other customs zones in the country.
At Idiroko and Seme border, smuggling of contrabands remained unchecked with Industry players attributing that to connivance of officers of the commands.
In January 2018, Customs officers who were supposed to fight smuggling at the nation's border points were caught helping smugglers to move vehicles,rice at the border.
Officers of the service especially Idiroko were allegedly offered N30,000 by smugglers to drive in banned items such as vehicles and foreign parboiled rice from neighbouring Benin Republic into Nigeria.
Investigation showed that two officers of the Ogun State Command of the Nigeria Customs Service were in 2017 dismissed by the Customs Comptroller General, Col. Hameed Ali for aiding smugglers to smuggle contraband from neighbouring Benin Republic into the country.
The officers were dismissed after they were found guilty of aiding smugglers to bring in contrabands into the Country.
It was further gathered that another had his vehicle seized after being caught with smuggled rice and vegetable oil in his vehicles.
An officer said recently, "Due to the intensive anti smuggling campaign of the Federal Operations Unit, Zone A and the CG strike force, smugglers now resort to engaging Customs officers to help them smuggle vehicles and rice even at times, our Officers make use of their vehicles as means of conveyance.
Also, last week, the CGC strike force intercepted about 6660 bags of rice which is equivalent to 11 trucks of rice in the South West after it was successful smuggled into the country through the land borders.
The other seizures by the ad-hoc unit further ranges from vegetable oil, second hand cloths, cartons of frozen poultry products, unprocessed firewood, sugar to vehicles of different brands that were smuggled into the country through the land borders.
Speaking on the sidelines of the arrest, the National Coordinator of the Strike Force, Abdullahi Kirawa disclosed that the seizures were made by the CGC Strike Force team from August 11 to September 18, 2018.
He stated further that seven seized means of conveyance with four cars worth N6,000000, two trucks worth N6,000,000 and one M/Ben Bus worth N1,5000,000 were as well intercepted.
Also at the zone B of the service, the strike force seized contrabands already smuggled into the country.
The breakdown of the seizures include 3,983 bags of 50kg assorted rice, 393 jerry cans of 25 litres of vegetable oil and 456 bales of second hand clothing.
Other items included 70 bags of 50kg sugar, 50 cartons of spaghetti and 49 various types of vehicles suspected to have been smuggled through land borders popularly called tokunbo and brand new ones.
According to him, the strike force was set up with the mandate to ensure effective suppression of smuggling, facilitation of trade and increase in revenue generation, as well as collection through enhanced, well stepped up and coordinated enforcement duties by patrolling the nooks and crannies of the country.
Barely two weeks ago, the FOU) Zone 'A' Ikeja of the Nigeria Customs Service also intercepted a N1.5 billion worth of petroleum products on the verge of being smuggled to Benin Republic.
The petroleum products, loaded in about 12 wooden speedboats, had about 50,000 jerry-cans set to be smuggled from Ijofin creek in Ipokia Local Government Area of Ogun State.
The Ijofin creek is under the supervision of the Ogun State command of the service but illegal petroleum smuggling ongoing in at the creek for so many years before being discovered by the Rapid Response Squad of the FOU, Zone A headed by one Jack Okpabi was unprecedented.
According to the Assistant Comptroller General of Customs, Zone A, Dahiru Aminu, exportation of petroleum products through the creeks is an illegal trade.
He said: "This is a big seizure and it needed to be showcased because of the size and volume involved. This is an unimaginable seizure made by officers. Since it is petroleum products, we do not expect it to be smuggled into Nigeria. So, naturally, it is going out of the country.
The Bayelsa state government has harped on the need to collaborate with SIFAX Group towards the development of its aviation and maritime potentials based on the expertise of the conglomerate.
The agreement was reached after the top management team of the Bayelsa Investment Promotion Agency (BIPA) led by Patience Ranami Abah, Director General and Godwin Konyefa, Managing Director, Bayelsa Properties & Investment Company paid a working visit to SIFAX Group.
In a Press Statement made available to LEADERSHIP by the Corporate Affairs Manager of the group, Muyiwa Akande over the weekend noted that the team toured facilities of the company's subsidiaries at Skyway Aviation Handling Company Limited (SAHCOL), Ports & Cargo Handling Services Limited, SIFAX Off Dock Nigeria Limited and SIFAX Haulage and Logistics Limited.
The statement quoted Ranami Abah as saying that the aim of the visit was to collaborate with SIFAX Group in the development of the huge business potentials in the state, adding that the SAHCOL's team had earlier visited the state to inspect its new cargo airport.
With our visit today, we are marveled at the excellent business operations of the company. We don't just want to build any kind of warehouse neither indulge in any shady operations of the airport, we want SIFAX Group to come with their technical expertise in the development of Bayelsa State", she said.
He said: "After the tour of SAHCOL, we found out that the right partner we have been looking for is SIFAX Group.
They have all it takes to develop the newly-built Bayelsa Airport. We also want to engage them in the development of the deep seaport located in Agge.
"After touring the facilities we are challenged at the homegrown logistics solutions that SIFAX Group has in its arsenal.
" We are engaging the company in varied business options that will be mutually benefitting to both the government and the company".

Right after the surgery youll feel some pain and maybe a headache, as surgery is surgery, after all. If theres no infection, the pain shouldnt be unbearable, just a dull aching. Most people take some painkillers for a couple of days before the pain becomes minor enough to try taking non-narcotic painkillers.
One of the most irritating things after the surgery is congestion, which is caused by the internal swelling. This will last for a couple of weeks, until the swelling start to calm down. You have to get through the first 3-4 days, then it becomes easier.
Those who applied for rhinoplasty due to breathing problems will feel an improvement from the first day, even though the swelling is still there. For others, breathing will be complicated for at least a couple of weeks, so dont panic when you feel it.
The congestion can sometimes cause insomnia, thats why you should consider taking sleep aids for the first couple of days after the surgery. To make the congestion diminish sooner, try not to interact with any environment that may irritate your nose and use special sprays to get rid of dryness. One of the most difficult challenges is not being allowed to blow your nose before your physician says you can.
Youll see swelling and bruises outside your nose area, mostly on the cheeks and around the eyes. The extent of the bruises depends on what the surgeon has done, as well as your body function peculiarities. Bruises are usually gone in a week, but often less time is needed.
Within a week after the surgery youll have to visit the doctor so he or she can remove some stitches if necessary, or work on your nasal cast. Your overall condition will improve in a couple of days, but if you dont want anybody to see you with the cast, its better to take at least a week off your job.
If you dont apply for a revision rhinoplasty NYC, you will look presentable within 2 weeks, you will also be able to gently wash your face and put a little makeup on, mainly foundation. After 3 weeks you will be able to appreciate most changes. nAfter 6 weeks 85% of the swelling will be gone and youll finally feel the difference.
All this doesnt sound like recovery at all, with all the bruises, swelling and congestion, but this is what you have to go through while your body is recovering from the stress of it.
Remember that the process of recovery is individual and depends on many things, from the qualifications of your surgeon to whether you smoke or not. However, most people go through the recovery process without suffering from complications.


I was only joking, because I know that I'm banned on CVTM's club forever.

This is a club issue. We have no control over it.

Astronomers clock star travelling 3,700,000mph after being ejected from supermassive black hole
Jeff ParsonsWednesday 13 Nov 2019 10:43 am

Astronomers have sighted an ultra-fast star making its way across the universe at dizzying speed.
Known as S5-HVS1, the star is travelling at more than 3.7 million miles per hour. It's believed to have been ejected from the supermassive black hole at the centre of the Milky Way.
Scientists estimate this happened around five million years ago – about the time our human ancestors were learning to walk on two feet.
S5-HVS1 was discovered by Sergey Koposov from Carnegie Mellon University as part of the Southern Stellar Stream Spectroscopic Survey (S5).
Located in the constellation of Grus – the Crane – it was found to be moving 10 times faster than most stars in the Milky Way at six million km/h (3.72 million mph).
Douglas Boubert, from the University of Oxford, a co-author on the study, said: 'The velocity of the discovered star is so high that it will inevitably leave the Galaxy and never return.'
Here's the location of S5-HVS1 travelling at six million kilometres per hour through the galaxy (PA)
High-velocity stars were discovered two decades ago and since then have fascinated astronomers.
Scientists say S5-HVS1 is unprecedented due to its high speed and close passage to the Earth – only 29,000 light years away.
Using this information, they were able to track its journey back into the centre of the Milky Way where a four million solar mass black hole, known as Sagittarius A
Professor Koposov, lead author of the study, said: 'This is super exciting as we have long suspected that black holes can eject stars with very high velocities. However, we never before had a clear association of such a fast star with the Galactic Centre.'

'We think the black hole ejected the star with a speed of thousands of kilometres per second about five million years ago.
'This ejection happened at the time when humanity's ancestors were just learning to walk on two feet.'
S5-HVS1 was discovered with the 3.9-metre Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT) near Coonabarabran, New South Wales, Australia, coupled with observations from the European Space Agency's Gaia satellite that allowed the astronomers to reveal the full speed of the star and its journey.

Return of England fans will improve the on-field spectacle, says Billy Vunipola
Dec 03, 2020 Sports
Billy Vunipola believes the return of supporters will enhance England's performances, saying the effect of having a crowd will make the players want to show off.
Twickenham will host a crowd for Sunday's Autumn Nations Cup final against France for the first time since March, with 2,000 fans due to attend. Vunipola accepts that the autumn fixtures have been largely underwhelming spectacles, but believes having an audience makes a difference.
While the 2,000 will not generate the kind of atmosphere 82,000 do, Vunipola sees it as a step in the right direction, with the Rugby Football Union hopeful of far more attending England's three home Six Nations matches next year.
England face Autumn Nations Cup final mismatch against depleted France
"Having fans there is massive because they add to the atmosphere," he said. "When people are there, we want to entertain them. It's a bit like when you were younger and the girls used to turn up to PE and you always wanted to show off. It is a bit similar to that."
England named a strong 27-man squad on Tuesday for Sunday's final, with the fit-again Ollie Lawrence back in the frame and Eddie Jones largely sticking by the players who have claimed four wins this autumn.
Theories as to why those victories – over Italy, Ireland, Georgia and Wales – have been largely forgettable are numerous, ranging from the unintended consequences of new interpretations of breakdown laws to the cyclical nature of World Cup campaigns, with Vunipola now offering his views. In addition, the No 8 believes the hectic schedule to finish last season's Premiership has not helped.
"I understand what people are saying," he added. "When I watch games as a neutral, sometimes it is hard to keep your focus on certain games. You have got to think we have had three weeks off [since the end of the season], boys are still carrying a little bit of fatigue, and everyone is basically trying to look after themselves.
"Winning has become way more important than playing the type of rugby that people want to watch. It will change, it always does, but we will see how long down the line it will take for that to happen."
The RFU has made a late decision to reverse its policy on keeping Twickenham's bars shut on Sunday despite previously giving local residents safety assurances that they would be. The union had told residents that as part of safety measures that went "above and beyond" government guidance, bars would be shut. After updated government guidance, however, the RFU has belatedly decided one bar and two stalls serving alcohol will be open, with supporters able to drink in their seats.

Brian Hoyer "unsuccessfully" tried to cash in
Thread: Brian Hoyer "unsuccessfully" tried to cash in
John_0515
The Boston Herald reports that backup QB Brian Hoyer "unsuccessfully" attempted to shop himself to other teams before re-signing a one-year deal with New England earlier this offseason.
Hoyer was tendered at the second-round level in restricted free agency, so any interested club would have had to fork over a second-round pick plus a contract in order to acquire him. It seems like a lofty price tag, but it really wouldn't be if other NFL teams viewed Hoyer as a franchise-caliber quarterback. The 26-year-old is slated for unrestricted free agency in 2013.
Source: Boston Herald
Here's the rest of the article:
Options at QB for Pats
Personally, I find this interesting. I don't believe Brady will retire soon, and the franchise may not be as committed to Mallett as people think. Hoyer is looking to cash in on this reputation he's received (without playing a snap), just like Flynn has. Kolb was a little more deserving of his money (pre Arizona play), IMO.
In 3 years, Hoyer has appeared in 13 games, and managed 27/43, 286 yards, 1TD/1INT. Nothing spectacular, and I don't understand where this "one of the best backup QBs in the NFL" thing comes from either (the story is written by the Boston Herald). 2nd rounder for Hoyer? Please. Pats fans try to be objective here.
Patriots will have zero experience at QB when Brady leaves, except for whatever learning is going on the bench. It worked for Rodgers. Others, not so much. We'll see.
It's hard to evaluate a player we've really never seen play.
Obviously, no one was interested.
Having said that, I see this thread reaching 20 pages within 24 hours due mainly to our resident trolls and the ensuing arguments.

Any word on where Matt Hoyer signed?

But please don't unban him.
The time for that is quickly coming and going. No one is going to trade much of anything for a QB the closer it gets to the season. If someone wanted him as a starter (they don't) or even a second stringer, they would have acted on it during the off season.
If the Pats wanted a 6th rounder, they would have finagled a trade at the same time the Colts traded for Stanton. Hoyer probably would have agreed to a trade anywhere as he has no future in NE being stuck behind Brady and the potential heir apparent in Mallett.
Exactly. I believe Mallett's going to play.
Colts chose Stanton over Hoyer for a 6th.
Good info. End thread.
GuidoYaztremski
Ken knew it, and made it be known that Matt Hoyer ala the Pats back-up QB, has less interceptions than Bart Starr, Joe Montana, and Brett Favre. Name me 247 other back-up QBs that are named Matt that can say that here in 2012 or else I'm right. And don't pretend your a true fan because your all nothing but a bunch of morans. I seen it then and is saying it now. It's not a personal attack if its true ala accurate. Go aheads, I'm waiting. But somehow I don't think you can do it. See? I just knew and also understood.
Joe W. Namath
All of these guys filled in when the qb was hurt and played well. Cassel played a full seasons. Flynn set records in his 2 starts. And schaub played great when he filled in for Vick.
Hoyer has never played in a meaningful nfl game. Thats why he has no contract. You cannot comapre Hoyer's situation to Cassel, schaub and flynn.
FF2®
With Brady being 47, pretty much anyone can step into the Pats system and thrive. Just look at what Mark Cassel did.
Sign this beast for short money.

If Matt Hoyer was really any more than a JAG, would Beli the Genius have peed away a second round pick on Ryan "Leaf" Clement in order to have a QB of the future on the Cheatriot roster?

These types of threads put a smile on my face. Talking about a backup to Tom Brady in which no NFL team want's. Brady's turning 35, so I'm pretty sure the topic of discussion in regards to NE's future starting QB (once Brady hangs it up) should be a fun one. He's turning 35 this up coming season, he should be out of the league in 3-4 years at the very most. I can't wait to see NE without Tom Brady running the show.

Personally, I would rather beat NE, win the division and advance deep into the playoffs with Tom Brady here.

That's good enough for me until we actually bring one home. With all that said, I remember what happened to Miami's franchise once Dan Marino walked away. Hopefully the same happens to NE x2.
ASG0531
Kind of old news. As others mentioned, it's pretty hard to see where Hoyer's trade value comes from without anything other than garbage time experience under his belt. I see the most likely scenario being Hoyer remains the backup this season and then signs on next year with a team where he can compete in camp for a starting job.
As for Mallett... anyone's guess is as good as anyone else's. He's still extremely raw, and wasn't even dressed for the majority of games last season. Is he really content to sit for 4-5 total years? I don't know... but this isn't comparable to the Rodgers situation at all. Rodgers was definitely Favre's heir apparent, and only remained on the bench as long as he did because Favre reneged on his retirement timetable and threw a wrench into the Packers' plans.
I'd say there's a solid chance Brady's successor will come from somewhere else.

Dispensing: Why Should You Start Now?
Physicians are struggling with finding ways to increase their income with many patients on managed care plans such as PPOs or HMOs. Not following an insurance carrier's formulary compliance can cost you a lot of money when prescribing too many of the "wrong drugs" (medications the insurance carriers don't want you to prescribe) to your patients. Dispensing medication directly to your patient reduces this problem dramatically since the claim is never turned in to the insurance carrier. There are no risk pool worries with point of care dispensing.
Too good to be true? Not really. Think about it. You prescribe medication and hand out samples to your patients every single day without getting paid for it. You either write the script or call one in to the pharmacy. Only the pharmacy and the pharmaceutical reps financially benefit. We can help you change that.
In less than one minute, you or a qualified staff member can dispense the needed medication to your patient. For your effort, the average profit to your practice will be approximately $8.00 to $10.00 per medication dispensed. There are no insurance claims to file and you get paid directly by the patient. The average physician sees one-hundred (100) patients per week. On average a physician will write one (1) prescription per patient. This represents a potential annual profit of $50,000.00 or more each year!
If the patient has a prescription card, we suggest that you accept the co-payment amount on the card (typically $15.00 today for generic medications) as payment in full. Keep in mind this would be a retail sale for you, and since your patients are accustomed to paying their copay amount for medicines, their copay amount will be the retail price and in no way will you be collecting a copay. There is NO insurance adjudication! This way, it doesn't cost any more for the patient to purchase the medication directly from you and you will earn a profit of $8.00 to $10.00 per medication dispensed.
Physicians that handle workers compensation can earn literally earn hundreds of thousands of dollars per year dispensing medication. The MedX Sales Workers Compensation Program is not a retail cash and carry program as described above, so please see our special section on the MedX Sales Dispensing Program for workers compensation patients for details.
A successful point of care dispensing solution primarily focuses on the top 10 to 20 most commonly prescribed generic drugs for better profitability and the smallest number of drugs. Each year, many well known medications go generic saving patients a lot of money and enhancing the physicians potential to earn an additional income.
Not all physicians dispense the same types of medication. Your practice will determine the kind of medicines you will offer to your patients. Creating and fine-tuning a formulary which will only consist of around 10 to 20 medications, is the key to a successful dispensing solution and we can help you do that in only a few minutes.
It is always better to order less the first go around and build from there. Re-orders only take two to three days to arrive so typically only a three to four week supply of medicines are ordered. The use of generic drugs is key to the financial success of dispensing. That said, we also offer brand names, pills, liquids, creams, injectables and nutritional supplements. MedX Sales wants this to be a long-term revenue generator. We are not interested in a quick dollar and neither should you. Need help? Just ask us and get started today.

В 1892 году поступил в Казанский учительский институт с трёхлетним обучением. Был вынужден подрабатывать, давал уроки работницам мастерской дамских нарядов А. П. Степницкой. Через ученицу Казанской фельдшерской школы Таисию Трутневу вошёл в кружок самообразования Казанского земледельческого училища. В числе прочего в кружке и изучали запрещённую литературу: труды Ф. Лассаля, К. Маркса, К. Каутского. Кружок был слабо законспирирован и не имел чёткой революционной направленности. Окончив институт в 1895 году как лучший ученик был направлен в Царицынское городское двухклассное училище, где проработал всего около 3-х месяцев. Ротмистр Кох, расследовавший дело о революционной пропаганде, писал "Окулов чрезвычайно талантливый преподаватель, относится с большой любовью к своей деятельности и к детям...". Оказалось, что без разрешение директора училища Окулов вечерами у себя на квартире занимался с учениками дополнительно, читал им Пушкина, Гоголя, Тургенева. В начале 1896 года арестован. У него были изъяты книги Плеханова, Аксерода и рекомендательные письма к царицынским революционерам. 22 октября 1896 года подвергнут тюремному заключению на 3 месяца, считая предварительное заключение всего в саратовской тюрьме он провёл 9 месяцев. На два года установлен гласный надзор полиции, по истечении этого срока негласный надзор с запрещением жизни в столицах и Санкт-Петербургской губернии. Жил уроками. В 1898 переехал в Сарепту, где вёл делопроизводство на разных предприятиях. В 1898 году женился. В начале 1899 вернулся в Царицын, где получил место конторщика на лесопильном заводе С. М. Голицына. Получил разрешение для переезда в Москву в связи с болезнью жены. Окончил краткие бухгалтерские курсы. Служил бухгалтером по найму. Сотрудничал с царицынскими газетами и петербургской "Торгово-промышленной газетой". В 1905 году вернулся в Царицын. Работал бухгалтером в царицынском агентстве ростовского миллионера Е. Т. Парамонова. Стал учредителем и председателем профсоюза бухгалтеров и конторщиков.

Заняв 5 место из 16, вошёл в число 8 выборщиков от Царицына на губернском избирательном собрании. В Саратове вошёл в партию народных социалистов. 7 февраля 1907 года избран депутатом Государственной думы II созыва  от общего состава выборщиков Саратовского губернского избирательного собрания. Первоначально сообщалось, что Окулов "по убеждениям примыкает к партии соц[иалистов]-рев[олюционеров]". Но в Думе вошёл в состав Народно-социалистической фракции. Состоял членом думской комиссии по исполнению государственной росписи доходов и расходов и комиссии о нормальном отдыхе служащих в торговых и ремесленных заведениях.

После роспуска Думы Окулов вышел из партии энэсов и политической деятельностью, по-видимому, не занимался. Работал бухгалтером в конторе князя С. М. Голицына, получал жалованье  400 рублей в месяц. В 1910 году ездил лечиться от туберкулёза лёгких в Швейцарию, побывал во Франции. В 1912 построил большой одноэтажный каменный дом в Новороссийске, так как из-за туберкулёза нуждался в сухом южном климате. В 1916 году купил  имение с жилым домом и хозяйственными постройками в селе Алексеевка Керенского уезда Пензенской губернии, но в 1917 году имение отобрано крестьянами. Переехал в Новороссийск, по его показаниям, данным во время следствия 1938 года, при Деникине работал помощником нотариуса. В 1925 году семья переселилась в Москву. В 1930-е годы работал бухгалтером и заместителем председателя правления рабочего жилищно-строительного кооперативного товарищества «Сокол».

8 августа 1937 года позволил себе неосторожную фразу в адрес сотрудника НКВД по Москве и Московской области, просматривавшего домовые книги в конторе: «Гнать этого шпика надо, мешает только работать». 5 сентября 1937 уволен с работы с формулировкой «за антиобщественное поведение, порочащее звание советского работника». В ночь с 16 на 17 марта 1938 года арестован, в ходе обыска изъяты  две книги на иностранном языке, две фотографии Государственной думы. Кроме того сослуживцы показали, что Окулов отказывался от подписки на государственный заём и не вступал в профсоюз.

15 августа 1938 года на заседании специальной коллегии Московского городского суда осуждён по статье 58-10 ч. 1 УК РСФСР (антисоветская  агитацию) к 7 годам  в ИТЛ и к лишению избирательных прав на три года. 4 октября 1938 года уголовная коллегия Верховного Суда РСФСР отклонила кассационную жалобу на приговор. Сведений об отбывании заключения либо о смерти Окулова не обнаружено. По мнению биографа Окулова историка Е. П. Воробьёва это даёт основания предположить, что он умер, не доехав до места заключения.

22 сентября 1995 года реабилитирован Прокуратурой г. Москвы на основании закона РСФСР «О реабилитации жертв политических репрессий» от 18 октября 1991.
