Torres steers Chelsea into Club World Cup final
Yokohama (Japan): A resurgent Fernando Torres scored his fifth goal in three matches to help Chelsea reach the Club World Cup final with a 3-1 victory over Monterrey.
The Spain striker scored the second goal for the Champions League winners just 16 seconds into the second half yesterday.
"He's doing well. He is much sharper," said Chelsea manager Rafa Benitez, who was hired last month. "I hope it will be more of the same in the future."
Torres has now scored in three consecutive matches for the first time since joining Chelsea for around USD 80 million in January 2011 from Liverpool, where he also played under compatriot Benitez.
And with 12 goals now this season, Torres has surpassed last season's haul as he enters the second half of the campaign.
"It's a run, and that's good for him and good for us," Benitez said. "Hopefully it will continue."
The final on Sunday will be the first for Chelsea and Copa Libertadores champ Corinthians, which edged Egypt's Al-Ahly 1-0 in the other semifinal on Wednesday.
"It was a good game for us," Benitez said. "We had good tempo, good play and a lot of possibilities for us. I am pleased with the performance of our team."
Torres put Chelsea up 2-0 when he took a pass from Eden Hazard and hit a left-footed shot that deflected in off a Monterrey defender. Two minutes later, Juan Mata's cross was knocked in by Monterrey defender Darvin Chavez for an own goal that made it 3-0.
CONCACAF champion Monterrey finally scored through Aldo De Nigris in injury time. Monterrey will face Al-Ahly in the third-place game on Sunday.
Chelsea scored the only goal of the first half in the 17th minute. Oscar made a nifty back-heel pass to Ashley Cole, who centered the ball to Mata, who powered a low drive from 15 meters.

Review of Stromberg, "Collective Excitement and Lapse in Agency: Fostering an Appetite for Cigarettes"
by Zach Obaji
Peter Stromberg addresses cigarette smoking among young adults among American colleges and universities in chapter 12 of The Encultured Brain. Although smoking is ill-advised due to numerous medical reasons, Stromberg provides reasons as to why young adults pick up cigarettes in the first place. At the beginning of the chapter, the lapse in agency is a concept that refers "to the basic awareness that one us author of one's own actions" (Stromberg, 316). Throughout the chapter, the lapse in agency among cigarette usage is explained further by different viewpoints: emotional arousal, pretend play, imitation, and rhythmic entrainment.
The chapter presents an ethnographical study from two universities to determine what factors attribute to early-phase tobacco use among first-year college students. Whether one comes from a family of smokers or non-smokers, cigarette usage appears to be most prevalent in social settings. One study shows that there is a higher correlation between attendance at social gatherings and cigarette usage (Stromberg, 323). Various substances are consumed at these types of social gatherings, and tobacco is often used in conjugation with alcohol, for example.
Imitation and rhythmic entrainment are factors that help explain the basis as to why cigarette usage occurs in these types of social gatherings among young adults. When others are seen smoking cigarettes at a party or other social gathering, the desire to imitate those individuals becomes heightened. The two central reasons behind imitation are due to the Western culture's social history of smoking and the belief that "social history has imparted a certain kind of symbolic valence to cigarette smoking" (Stromberg, 324). Although the rates of tobacco use have declined, Stromberg argues that cigarettes still retain a strong association with the coolness factor and sexual desirability. In the case of imitation, cigarettes are used as a tool to blend in at social gatherings. Secondly, rhythmic entrainment is closely associated with imitation. In a broad sense, rhythmic entrainment is a way to follow the crowd. Rhythmic entrainment has an evolutionary basis to it, "mirror neuron systems evolved to facilitate more effective food acquisition among social primates" (Stromberg, 325). Aside from cigarette smoking, rhythmic entrainment can be seen when following dance movements to synchronize oneself to others when they follow the beat of a song. The desire for joint rhythmic activity is a "basic form of playful social cooperation" (Stromberg, 326).
Similar to imitation, the chapter delves into the idea of using cigarettes as a prop to promote pretend play. Pretend play involves the manipulation of an individual's self-image to project a new identity that appears appealing to others in social settings. Intentional or not, pretend play and using cigarettes as a prop is caused by a lapse in agency. Collective effervescence is attributed to the "most important factor underlying the heightened sense of excitement people can feel in crowds is primitive emotional contagion" (Stromberg, 328). This emotional arousal leads to an autonomic nervous system response creating a heightened sense of arousal. Emotional arousal can lead to dissociation, especially when tobacco usage is combined with other psychoactive drugs including alcohol. In social gatherings like parties, dissociation elevates creating an amnesic effect that masks peripheral awareness.
Stromberg's chapter provides a better understanding of how cigarettes are used as a domain of entertainment in social gatherings among college students in America. Although his ethnographical and qualitative study examined freshmen college students at two universities, the explanations within the chapter explain the evolutionary factors on how tobacco products are consumed in social gatherings. Since cigarettes contain the psychoactive stimulant, nicotine, the lapse in agency is exacerbated by other drugs such as alcohol. Following the actions of those around us in social settings is highly prevalent. Although the rates of traditional smoking involving the combustion of tobacco have decreased, it would be interesting to see how electronic cigarettes have evolved among college campuses. It is not uncommon to see a student use a Juul on his or her way to class. Electronic cigarettes appear to be used not only in social gatherings but also in other settings. It would be interesting to learn more about the newer nicotine delivery systems and to study the origins that cause the lapse in agency.
Brian Rivera
I am highly skeptical of the approach presented in this chapter. I thought that the claims made were not fully justified. The chapter dispenses with the discussion of the addictive properties of tobacco early on and doesn't consider them at all. This to me displaced the chapter from trying to integrate neuroscience and anthropology. I felt that that it pulled on the cognitive and neuroscience areas when it fitted the predetermined framework initially introduced and proactively disregarded entire fields of addiction research. A description of the properties of nicotine in the nervous system (especially as it helps in forming habits) would have been key since habit forming is central to the description of the sociological patterns discussed in the chapter.
Jennifer Fortunato
I enjoyed this chapter. I thought that it tied together cognitive science, anthropology, neuroscience, and psychology pretty well. Though I do agree with Brian that the chapter does not delve into the addictive properties of tobacco, I think that the investigation into the social aspect of tobacco use was well done. A discussion of the nicotine in tobacco in contributing to the loss of the sense of agency would have really made this chapter complete. However, that discussion may need an entire chapter to itself to be fully explained. Overall, I think that Stromberg integrated many different fields into one chapter very well and which makes it a great neuroanthropological chapter.
Daniel J Quillen
I thought this chapter did a good job tying together psychology and anthropology however I feel like it needed to delve further into both the addictive affects like Brian said and it's neurophysiological affects as well. He spends much of his time explaining the lapse of agency that smart people start smoking under but does not go into detail as to what happens specifically in the brain causing that lapse of agency. Is it the alcohol interfering with the cerebellums communication to the prefrontal cortex which can causes poor decision making or is it something else entirely
Elisabeth Nations
Zach, this is a great summary of a really interesting chapter. I was most fascinated by the concept of mirror neurons and rhythmic movement and how those affect an individual's decision to start smoking and keep smoking. Our discussion in class about the Juul was really interesting as well, especially in light of previously decreasing rates of smoking in young people overall. People's desire to fit in socially is something we've discussed throughout the semester, and while it can be adaptive and good by bringing us together with others, it can also be harmful, in the case of smoking. Regardless, it's a very powerful motivator.
Revisiting this chapter brought to mind the possibility of considering a university setting as its own anthropological setting. This might have come to mind from the comments about altered states of consciousness and the particular use of caffeine and alcohol in university settings. For some intents and purposes, college has its own culture and rituals and the use of chemicals such as alcohol and nicotine have a central role in such culture.

The mechanical snail
Kampnagel, Hamburg
St. Elisabeth Church, Berlin
Science theatre
For the Milieu of the Dead, the Mobile Academy set up a round theatre at various locations in Berlin. It is a mechanical arena, also known as a mechanical snail, designed especially for the series of events, with a curtain winding around the audience and protagonists in a spiral movement, opening up the view of the stage.
Since 2010, the Mobile Academy Berlin has been researching the precarious zones between life and death and the Milieu of the Dead. The series deals with the gaps and absences in archives, collections and exhibitions. While exhibitions often present world history through objects and artifacts, the performances of the Mobile Academy Berlin stage the stories of things and beings that cannot or should not be shown, whose representation must fail. What you cannot see, you can talk about. What one cannot know, one should definitely talk about. In all appropriate ambiguity, narrating, fabulating and hallucinating. In this way one maintains relationships with things and beings that are not present.
Design: Hannah Hurtzig
Architecture: Florian Stirnemann
Tribune and stage: Bartmann Berlin
Supporting structure in steel: Ertl & Zull
Track system and curtain: Gerriets
The mechanical snail was manufactured on behalf of the Humboldt Forum Foundation in the Berlin Palace. Supported by the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and Media on the basis of a resolution of the German Bundestag.

Home/News/MDCN bows to pressure, scraps N900,000 fee for foreign-trained doctors
MDCN bows to pressure, scraps N900,000 fee for foreign-trained doctors
The Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria has withdrawn its circular over the mandatory payment of N900,000 by foreign-trained doctors.
It was gathered that the decision to withdraw the circular came after a public outcry.
According to Saturday PUNCH, a highly informed source shared a circular on the matter with newsmen in Abuja.
It had been reported that the council had earlier announced that medical graduates, who schooled abroad and sought to take the council's assessment examination, would undergo a six-month mandatory training, which would cost N900,000 for Nigerian citizens and N1.4m for non-citizens.
The directive, which was heavily criticized by members of the public, came at a period when Nigeria was witnessing shortage in the number of doctors following massive brain drain.
In the circular shared with our correspondent, it was observed that the council succumbed to the public outcry.
The circular read in part, "This is to inform the general public that following the public reaction to the MDCN publication on the mandatory six-month teaching hospitals attachment programme for foreign-trained medical and dental graduates, especially the petition by the coalition of parents of foreign-trained medical doctors to the National Assembly, and based on the outcome of the meetings the MDCN held with the leadership of the Joint Senate Committee on Health and the House of Representatives Committee on Health Care Services and the House of Representatives Committee on Public Petition, the MDCN hereby states as follows:
"The MDCN hereby withdraws the publication on the six-month attachment for foreign-trained medical and dental graduates and candidates are now left with the discretion to seek knowledge that will assist them with the assessment examination wherever and however they desire. Candidates, who have paid the N10,000 registration fees will have their money refunded.
"The MDCN will publish in due course the curriculum for the training, which has been developed by the examiners to guide the candidates in preparation for the examination.
"The MDCN will also publish the performance pattern of candidates in the previous examinations based on the country of training in order to guide parents in the choice of foreign universities for their wards and this will be done and published after every subsequent examination."
The post MDCN bows to pressure, scraps N900,000 fee for foreign-trained doctors appeared first on NEWS.

Turning the Spotlight on Political Ads and How to Protect a Brand
There are a few things in life that can clear a crowded room faster than politics, but not many. It's an inherently divisive, polarizing topic across all fronts, including the already contentious and unpredictable digital environment. Simply put, it's no wonder why publishers are wary of running political ads next to their content.
But like most things in the programmatic world, keeping political content out of ad slots is neither straightforward nor simple for a publisher to accomplish on its own. That doesn't mean it's impossible, though, as long as they understand what they're up against and take the right course of action. So let's shine a spotlight on blocking political ads and try to make this a more subdued and pleasant ecosystem as we get closer to what's sure to be a turbulent election.
Political Ads Are a Complex Problem
We understand that just discussing political ad blocking is, in some corners, a somewhat political subject in and of itself. But we assure you we're approaching it from a purely technical, apolitical stance. However, just having to make that statement demonstrates how much of a powder keg politics is these days, particularly in the highly segmented and intense digital realm.
But the problems with political ads go far beyond just that divisive nature, of course. They're also a breeding ground for misinformation and misleading claims, all of which do no favors for a publishing brand running such ads next to their content. Further, as technology advances and "deep fakes" become more seamless and believable, the lines between truth and fiction will continue to blur.
Naturally, that leaves publishers and platforms in a precarious position, forcing companies to choose between relevant, reliable advertisements and claiming a piece of a $7B windfall for this election cycle. And that assumes already overworked ad ops teams are even up to the challenge of identifying and eliminating the bad political ads in the first place.
The Secondary Effects of COVID-19 on the Ad Industry
Aside from the obviously devastating impact the coronavirus has had on nearly every aspect of society, it's wielded a host of secondary effects as well. As recent studies demonstrate, revenue has quickly dried up for the digital advertising industry, with 81% of large advertisers deferring ads due to COVID-19 and nearly 60% already slashing their ad budgets.
This leaves many publishers strapped for cash, now forced to swim in more dangerous, malicious waters to fill those ad slots. Unfortunately, that also leaves them more susceptible to those same types of misleading political ads that can easily jeopardize brand safety and the user experience. Put another way, the two-headed monster of election season and the coronavirus pandemic turns an already challenging situation into something bordering on untenable.
The Right Tools Make All the Difference
So what is the industry to do when staring at such a stark trade-off between much-needed revenue and protecting their brand from bad political ads? Well, it starts with using the right tools to defend themselves from the inevitable onslaught of election-based advertising. And as we've discussed before, it's the comprehensive solutions that make all of the difference for publishers, ad networks, and the entire ecosystem in the war against bad political ads and the rest of the ad fraud spectrum.
Ad Lightning's Comprehensive Approach
Using our own solution as an example of such a comprehensive approach, Ad Lightning begins by scanning the environment for offending ads, using Google Vision technology to search for particular keywords in ad copy. When we see those keywords in the copy, that ad signature goes onto our blocklist and populates our UI.
From there, we run a nightly scan process that incorporates all of those signatures, building on itself as we continuously identify additional bad ad signatures and block them. Therefore, it's a technique that only becomes more precise and effective with time. Further, we also have internal controls in place to ensure that every signature we add to the blocklist is indeed an unwanted ad. This failsafe makes certain that we're not blocking a perfectly good ad along with the revenue it generates.
That combination of scanning and blocking is exactly what we mean when we describe a solution as comprehensive. Rather than relying on a single solution tool, companies can employ a far more thorough strategy that, to be frank, is just much more effective. Also, looking down the road just a bit, publishers will soon have the ability to block particular political ads based on things like party affiliation and other more nuanced traits. Therefore, although the political environment doesn't appear to be simmering down any time soon, a solution like Ad Lightning's will always be ahead of the curve.
Ultimately, it's up to every publisher to make the right choice for their specific needs. While it's heartening to see that some SSPs are taking ad quality more seriously now, there will always be ads that slip through the cracks. In this case, those slippery bad ads focus on politics, but the same notion holds for coronavirus-related ads, inappropriate content, competitors' ads, malware, and the several other flavors of bad ads. As overwhelming as that sounds, though, publishers and their partners have access to the tools they need to protect themselves, their stakeholders, and customers. It's just a matter of embracing the right ones.

Jean-Michel Aulas, the President of Lyon, explained on Saturday on RTL that in his hypothetical plan to take over the Champions League, UEFA had placed OL's return leg against Juventus in Turin on August 7.
In an interview with RTL, this Saturday, Jean-Michel Aulas, the president of Lyon, notably explained: "The match against Juventus is confirmed on Friday, August 7, in Turin and behind closed doors (Editor's note: in the round of 16 return from C1; OL won 1-0 first leg on February 26). If the appeals do not succeed, it is to send Lyon and Paris (qualified for the quarters) to be massacred by teams which will have a preparation that the others do not have. "
To date, there is no assurance, however, that Juventus will not have an advantage over Lyon, which will not replay in Ligue 1, following the final cessation of the season. The protocol proposed by Lega Calcio still has to be validated by the Italian health authorities. A resumption of Serie A remains very hypothetical. Just like the resumption of the Champions League, moreover.
UEFA has planned to organize the end of the season for its European competitions in August. The fourth round of 16 final, including Juve-OL, remains to be disputed and involve teams playing in championships which have planned to resume. Germany has already started a restart on May 16, when Spain has started the resumption phase of individual training.
Faced with the French decision to stop everything, Jean-Michel Aulas announced in recent days that he had brought two legal actions. OL is ranked seventh in the championship and may not participate in a European cup next season for the first time in twenty years unless they win the League Cup, for which they have to play the final against PSG… even winning the Champions League.
The President of Lyon said he was in favor of a playoff system to play in August.

5 Body Changes You Should Expect When You Stop Having Regular Sex
There are certain periods when the urge to have sex fades and the body becomes less receptive to sexual arousal.
Almost all adults who have sex can relate to this phase.
For most, it's not a deliberate decision to withdraw from sex, but could be the result of a breakup, death or disagreement, busy schedule, illness, among other factors.
In the case of a temporary interruption of sex, here are five things that can happen to the human body.
low sexual desire
When you do not have regular intercourse, there is a chance that your sexual desire will be significantly reduced.
Sex is associated with good feelings because the body is flooded with hormones while in the act, so when you stay away, all that energy can be directed to other activities, making sex lose its place.
"Your libido can increase your career momentum and manifest more successful ambitions, or if you choose, you can direct your sexual energy toward your children instead of sexual relationships," Fran Walfish, a Beverly Hills-based sexual and family psychotherapist, told MedicalDaily.
"We can get back to the same sex drive, energy and appetite that we enjoyed before. However, don't expect a sudden increase in libido if you've never had a high sex drive."
more stress
Sex is known to be a good way to relieve stress, therefore a lack of regular sex can lead to elevated stress levels.
A 2005 study in Biological Psychology found that penile-vaginal intercourse is associated with better mental and physical performance and lower stress levels.
People who had not had regular sex showed higher blood pressure spikes in response to stress than those who had recently had sex.
less intelligent
A 2013 study found that sex increases neurogenesis, the creation of new neurons in the brain, and also improves cognitive function.
Sexual experiences lead to cell growth in the hippocampus, a region of the brain that is vital for long-term memory. Therefore, sex has the potential to prevent deterioration that leads to memory loss and dementia.
weaker immune system
According to a 2004 study, regular sex, in moderation, can boost the immune system and make you less prone to colds.
The researchers measured levels of immunoglobulin A (IgA), an antigen found in saliva and mucous membranes, to assess the strength of the participants' immune systems.
IgA is the body's first line of defense against cold and flu, as it binds to invading bacteria and then activates the immune system to destroy it.
Participants who had frequent intercourse showed significantly higher levels of IgA than their counterparts.
A study published in the 2008 American Journal of Medicine found that men who had sex less frequently were twice as likely to develop erectile dysfunction as men who had sex frequently.
900 men aged 50, 60 and 70 were studied for five years and found that having regular intercourse preserved potency, even into old age.

Gonzalez is accused, along with two as-yet-unnamed Russian co-conspirators, of compromising more than 130 million credit and debit card accounts from a variety of targets including Heartland Payment Systems and 7-Eleven.
While the Department of Justice should be commended for the successful investigation and indictment of Gonzalez, the arrest will not 'un-breach' accounts that are already compromised and available on the black market. In an ideal world the arrest would deter future identity theft, but it is unlikely. It is still an almost entirely anonymous crime capable of generating significant revenue and would-be ID thieves are more likely to just consider themselves smarter and better than Gonzalez. He made mistakes, but *they* won't get caught.
So, kudos to the Department of Justice, but you still need to watch your back and safeguard your networks and data from similar attacks. Here are three tips to help you protect your data and make sure you don't become the next Heartland Payment Systems.

1. Wireless security. Wireless networks exist in most businesses these days. The thing about wireless networks is that they let employees roam about and still stay connected to the network, but they also provide an opportunity for unauthorized users who are within range of the wireless access point to gain access as well. The data breaches at TJX and Lowes were both made possible through weak or non-existent wireless network security.
Wireless networks should be segregated from the primary network to provide an extra layer of protection. The wireless connection should be secured with WPA or WPA2 encryption at a minimum. It is even better if some other form of authentication is used to access the wireless network. There should also be a policy against setting up unauthorized wireless networks and period scanning to ensure rogue networks don't exist.
2. Compliance. By virtue of accepting, processing, transmitting, or storing credit card transaction data the organizations that were compromised in these attacks fall under the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) requirements. PCI DSS was developed by the credit card industry to provide baseline security requirements for businesses that handle sensitive credit card information.
Many of the companies also fall under other compliance mandates such as Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), or the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA). It is important for companies to respect the spirit as well as the letter of the compliance requirements. Keep in mind that completing a checklist or passing an audit are not the goals of compliance. The goal is to protect sensitive data and network resources. Doing the bare minimum to scrape by on a compliance audit may leave some weaknesses that could lead to data compromise which mars the reputation of the company and is often much more costly than compliance.
3. Diligence. This is the big one. Security is a 24/7/365 full-time job. Locking down the wireless network and developing a policy prohibiting rogue networks is great, but what if someone violates the policy and deploys a rogue wireless network next week? Passing a PCI DSS compliance audit is great, but employees come and go, computer systems are provisioned and decommissioned, and new technologies are introduced to the network. Just because the network was compliant at the time of the audit doesn't mean it will still be compliant a month later.
Attackers are constantly working to expose weaknesses in network defenses. Network and security administrators have to remain just as diligent at keeping up with attack techniques and countermeasures. More importantly, you have to monitor intrusion detection and prevention system activity, firewall logs, and other data to stay alert for signs of compromise or suspicious activity. The earlier you can identify and stop an attack, the less data will be compromised and the more you will be a hero instead of a zero.

Kazeem Abimbola, popularly called Jigan Babaoja, is a talented actor, musician and a comedian. The originator of sho mo age mi, that has gone viral, tells Ademola Olonilua how he came about the slang.
I have actually done several skits but it's just that God had mandated that I would become popular with this 'Sho mo age mi' slang.
I was on a movie location with some of my friends when we started talking about our actresses that were celebrating their 40th birthday; we said that some of them were either not up to 40 years or they were above the age.
That was how we started arguing and I cited myself as an example, asking them if they knew if I was up to 40 years old.
That's how I started asking them if they knew my age in Yoruba. From there, something urged me to do a skit about it and that's how it went viral.
I did not know it would garner such attention online.
It never occurred to me. Of all my skits, it had the highest amount of views and that was when I knew that it was going to be a viral video.
I also have to thank Tunde Ednut because each time I make a skit, he always reposts it and that gives it more mileage online.
This is a dream come true for me; it does not matter how I attained fame either it is through my music, films or comedy, I am just happy that one of my initiatives has made me a brand.
This is something I have been dreaming of all my life because I started my career as a musician.
I have been doing music since 2001. I released some songs and visuals for them but I noticed that I was just spending money and I was not getting anything in return.
So, I decided to put music on hold and joined the movie industry.
I felt that if I had a big breakthrough in acting, I would return to music.
I never knew it was going to happen like this; through a one-minute skit.
Was wowed when it happened.
Sitted at home one day posting some of my skits on the same trending topic when I received a direct message from him.
Extremely happy and while I was still basking in the euphoria, I received a call from my manager, Danku, who told me to hold on for Davido.
Waoh In his distinct voice, I heard him say, "Hello, Sho mo age mi, sho mo age mi ni," then he laughed and invited me to meet him at Lekki.
Went to meet him at Lekki and he told me he appreciated my work.
He was travelling to America on that day but he still made out time to receive me.
The whole idea behind the skit is the suspense I have built around my age and I have decided that I am never going to tell anybody my age.
I am going to keep it to myself forever.
Coming out with new music and I also plan on doing a film about 'Sho mo age mi'.
Have more than a hundred contents on the ground, so I know I would remain relevant.
It is not part of the act; I actually have some problems with my leg.
When I was a young boy of about six years old, I fell ill and I was taken to the hospital.
I was given an injection at the wrong place.
That was what happened. I was not born this way.
It is by the grace of God and I feel very overwhelmed by the love and support I have received so far.
Before, I had 42,000 followers on Instagram but when I became an internet sensation and as I speak with you, I have over 100,000 followers and the number keeps increasing.
As I speak with you, I have seen so many souvenirs about the trend ranging from clothes, fez caps; some people are doing different skits about it while others have done different songs just because of the trend.
My face is on so many tee-shirts just because of the phrase 'Sho mo age mi'.
The feedback has been so touching but all I need from them is to come and partner with the brand.
I still cannot believe what is happening to me now.
It all seems surreal; it is something like a dream.
I do not think it has ever happened in the history of Nigerian entertainment industry.
My slang is not just viral in Nigeria but it is global, I have seen the Chinese version and several other languages.
It got to a stage that I started crying; I have really cried about this a lot and I am still in shock.
They send me normal messages that they appreciate my work and that I should keep on the good job.
I am married, so I cannot entertain any naughty message from women.
I feel that anything that goes viral, there would be positive and negative comments; it is left to the originator of the trend to be motivated by the negative comments and put in more effort in his craft.
The few negative comments I have got are from people who do not understand the language and some that do believe that I am not funny. However, as it is now, I feel everybody has accepted the trend and they are enjoying it.
No, I don't. I talk to everybody based on the message they send to me.
I spread love when people show disdain towards me.
I appreciate my fans a lot and I would talk to them at any little opportunity I get.
I would be very happy if I could attend to all my fans across the world.
I almost got injured at a mall.
There was a man who was driving by and immediately he spotted me, he parked his car, ran towards me and started shouting, 'sho mo age mi'.
While he was yelling, he carried me all of a sudden and I almost fell down; he insisted that I must tell him my age.
I cried the day I saw the skit because I could feel the love they have for me.
Immediately I called Oga Bello to thank him.
I also asked him to pray for me because he had done something good in my life by endorsing the trend.
Even though he was fasting, he took out time to make a skit with his son just to support me.
I just had to call him. A lot of celebrities have called me to celebrate me and Saheed Osupa is one of them.
He has also done a skit about the trend.
I appreciate everyone that has done a skit about the trend.
She cannot believe it as well and she has received thousands of calls from friends and family members that her husband is everywhere.
She is proud of me, also had a talk with her that we are now on another level, so she has to change the way she 'packages' herself.
Have also advised her to try and keep away from the limelight because I would want my private life to remain private.
I would not want my family in the full glare of the public.

Stars Academy Ireland School & College Initiative 2013 – 2015
by dan | Sep 6, 2013 | 147 Stars Academy, News |
The Stars Academy Ireland School and College Initiative has commenced with the official awarding of certificate of membership to the CBS Westland Row in Dublin. Alan Bailey received the award from Stars Academy Secretary Annette Newman on behalf of the School. The CBS have been promoting www.popexams.com snooker for a good number of years now and they have developed an after School event to cater for the students wanting to play snooker and introduced leagues and tournaments. Most of the students take part in the snooker events. The great work and dedication shown by Alan Bailey and the other teachers reflect that through the students who all know the rules of the sport and can play within the School. The School has two full size tables donated by Ken Doherty. Over the years hundreds of students have been introduced to the sport in the School and this is where Stars Academy Ireland are now using the CBS as a template for other Schools and Colleges around the Country to help promote the sport. Robert Redmond has come on board and is now patron of the School and will go into the School a number of times during the year to help promote and encourage the young students to play snooker. We are delighted to have the CBS Westland Row as a member School and look forward to many years http://www.popexams.com of competitive snooker and the new School & College National Championships in 2014.

Q: A dotted circle: control size of dots and distance between them My MWE is:
\documentclass{minimal}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{calc}

\begin{document}

\begin{tikzpicture}
\draw[red,dotted] (0,0) circle (2);
\draw[black,thick] (5,0) circle (2);
\end{tikzpicture}
% <<dashed>> can be used in place of <<dotted>>
% %<<\draw (a,b) \polygon{c}{d}>> can be used in place of <<\draw[black,thick] (a,b) circle (d)>>

\end{document}

How do I control the size of dots or dashes on the first circle (make them larger or thicker maybe?) and how do I also control the distance between the evenly spaced dots, that is, how dots are spaced around the circle, without manually placing nodes or arcs of a definite size in a circle formation? How do I do this in a way that also works for
polygons?
Also, for future reference, how to I replicate this in pstricks, not just tikz?
[P.S.:-- I hope the question is not a duplicate but I have not been able to find an identical question.]

A: With pstricks you can do this
\documentclass[pstricks,border=10pt]{standalone}
\begin{document}
\begin{pspicture}(-3,-3)(8,3)
\pscircle[linecolor=red,linestyle=dotted,dotsep=1pt,linewidth=1pt](0,0){2}
\pscircle[linecolor=red,linestyle=dotted,dotsep=5pt,linewidth=3pt](5,0){2}
\end{pspicture}
\begin{pspicture}(-3,-3)(8,3)
\pscircle[linecolor=blue,linestyle=dashed,dash=2pt 6pt,linewidth=0.5pt](0,0){2}
\pscircle[linecolor=blue,linestyle=dashed,dash=2pt 5pt 4pt 5pt,linewidth=3pt](5,0){2}
\end{pspicture}

Q: Restrict urls on certain apps in Django I've looked for an approach to add specific urls to a certain app. And restrict the urls for being used on other apps in Django.
I use Mezzanine and when a user goes to sub.domain.com he will see templates that are specific to that site. But when the user tries to go to the url on sub.domain.com/example he will see the url that is intended to be on domain.com/example. I want that to be a 404 for the user instead on the app.
Sorry for my bad english, hope you understand what I'm talking about.

A: You can get the current domain name (that the user is accessing) from request.META['HTTP_HOST']. Then based on that, raise 404 when the url is visited on certain domains.
from django.http import Http404
def my_restricted_view(request):
    domain = request.META['HTTP_HOST']
    if domain == 'sub.domain.com':
        return render(request, "template_name", {})
    else:
        raise Http404

Bricks 4 Kidz » Summer dragging on?
It's summer, in case you haven't noticed. Chances are if you're a parent, then you've noticed. Summer may have officially started just a few short weeks ago – but it unofficially started ages ago. And it may seem like forever until school starts back up!
It's not that you don't love having more time with your kids (to say nothing of the joy of hearing "I'm bored," "There's nothing to do," "Can't we go somewhere fun?" and "I'm bored" … again.) It's just that you could use a little help keeping your kids engaged and entertained during the home stretch just before school starts. Especially since their choices for entertaining themselves aren't always the best ones!
Take a deep breath and let us help. It's not too late to sign your kids up for fun! Bricks 4 Kidz® summer camps not only keep the pace fast and the action going with LEGO® Bricks, games and more; our programs can also help your kids' brains get back in learning mode. Our highly qualified teachers help students explore STEM concepts, develop communication skills, improve fine and gross motor skills and increase general knowledge all while teaching classroom skills, like organization and following directions.
And don't let the fun stop there. It's the perfect time to start thinking about after-school activities. Bricks 4 Kidz® after-school programs combine play and education. Classes will reinforce the lessons your kids are learning in school but with the fun of LEGO®Bricks.
So hold on, parents! You can make it. Let us help get rid of the boredom so that you can focus on enjoying the extra family time summer offers.

Souhane is a small mountain town between Larbaa and Tablat in the wilaya of Blida, Algeria, along the RN 8 highway about 25 km south of Algiers.

Following the Souhane massacre of 20 August-21 August 1997, in which 64 people were killed and 15 women kidnapped, the terrified population left en masse, bringing the town's population down from 4000 before the massacre to just 103 in 2002; since then, the population has increased, to 300 in 2005.

In the local elections of 2002, it gave 5 seats to the traditional single party the FLN, 1 to the recent pro-military RND, and 1 to the moderate Islamist HMS.

Its postcode is 0917.

When it comes to building your new home, Boone Homes chooses only the best products in order to build a home that is not only beautiful, but also high-quality enough to stand the test of time. When it comes down to deciding between fiber cement and LP® SmartSide® trim and siding, our choice is the latter.
Impact Doesn't Equal Damage – Throughout life, it is likely that your home will be hit by hail, golf balls, baseballs or rocks at some point. LP® SmartSide® is more resistant to these everyday hazards than fiber cement. Need proof? Watch the video above.
Realistic Wood Texture – If you like the look of wood, then LP® SmartSide® is perfect because of its more realistic wood texture.
Time Tested – When you purchase a new home, you expect it to last for years to come. LP® SmartSide® have been time tested and since 1997, more than 7 billion square feet of products have been manufactured and installed in more than 4 million homes.
Lighter Weight – With a lighter weight per foot, LP® SmartSide® is easier to carry and install. It is also stronger and doesn't require special tools to install.
Color – LP® SmartSide® is less likely to lose its color than fiber cement which contains natural salts and minerals.
Less Seams – LP® SmartSide® is slightly longer than fiber cement leading to fewer seams or joints.
Warranty – LP® SmartSide® generally offers a longer limited warranty that most fiber cement warranties.
These are just a few of the many reasons that LP® SmartSide® trim and siding is the choice of Boone Homes. For more information on these quality building products, visit www.lpcorp.com.

SAN FRANCISCO (CN) – A federal jury found an anti-abortion cohort led by David Daleiden caused substantial harm to Planned Parenthood by infiltrating abortion industry conferences to secretly tape abortion doctors and staff – and awarded punitive damages of $870,000.
David Daleiden, an anti-abortion activist charged with invasion of privacy for filming attendees at National Abortion Federation conferences in California.
Daleiden, who heads the Center for Medical Progress, and his co-defendant Sandra Merritt, posed as human tissue procurers for a fake company called BioMax as part of a hidden-camera investigation into the organization.
The pair attended abortion industry conferences from 2013 to 2015 – posing as exhibitors named Robert Sarkis and Susan Tennenbaum – where they secretly recorded conversations they later posted online. Daleiden also made recordings at Planned Parenthood-affiliated clinics in Texas and Colorado.
Daleiden's attorneys contended he and Merritt were investigating "violent felonies" based on a belief that infants were being born alive at Planned Parenthood clinics and that Planned Parenthood was illegally profiting from the sale of fetal tissue for medical research. They have also framed Daleiden's tactics as citizen journalism.
The jury of nine men and one woman deliberated for a little less than three days. They found Daleiden and his group, which also includes abortion opponents Albin Rhomberg and Troy Newman, conspired to commit fraud, breach of contract and trespass and to violate federal and state recording laws in Maryland, California and Florida.
U.S. District Judge William Orrick III ruled prior to the six-week trial that started in October that the jury may only consider information Daleiden had prior to launching his video project in 2012, and not anything he learned from the recordings.
At least three congressional committees and law enforcement officials in thirteen states launched investigations into Planned Parenthood after Daleiden and his group released the first video on July 14, 2015. Planned Parenthood was cleared of wrongdoing by the states and so far nothing has come of the federal investigation.
Planned Parenthood lawyers denounced Daleiden's and Merritt's beliefs about crimes being committed by abortion doctors as a preposterous pretext to disguise their true mission to destroy Planned Parenthood, thus establishing the requisite malice, oppression, and fraud for the jury to award punitive damages.
The organization's lawyers claim the release of the videos, roughly one per week, were part of a sophisticated scheme to smear the organization and strip it of federal funding.
"The defendants' plan here was not to find crimes, and it was not about journalism. It was about using any means, including illegal means, to destroy Planned Parenthood," Planned Parenthood attorney Rhonda Trotter told the jury.
In a statement following the verdict Trotter said, "The jury has spoken loud and clear. Those who violate the law in an effort to limit access to reproductive rights and health care will be held accountable. It has been our firm's great honor to represent Planned Parenthood in this important matter, and to help protect the rights, safety and security of Planned Parenthood and its dedicated doctors and staff in the face of an egregious and unlawful attack."
Planned Parenthood was also represented by Jeremy Kamras and Sharon Mayo of Arnold & Porter, and Amy Bomse of Rogers Joseph O'Donnell.
The jury also awarded Planned Parenthood and several affiliates roughly $478,000 in compensation for security costs and changes to their vetting procedures. They found the defendants had also conspired to violate the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, which triples the compensatory damages.
Taking this into consideration, Planned Parenthood is looking at a $2.275 million verdict, which Daleiden's lawyer Peter Breen said he will challenge on First Amendment grounds, noting that the compensatory damages stem from the publication of the videos.
"We believe the compensatory damages should go to zero on appeal," he said, adding that he found it ludicrous the jury found the defendants had participated in a racketeering conspiracy.
Daleiden's lawyers characterized the trial as unfair from the outset, taking issue with everything from the verdict form and jury instructions, to Orrick's pretrial rulings precluding certain defense experts from testifying about Daleiden's motives. Orrick has noted throughout the case that it is not about whether abortion is good or bad, or about whether Planned Parenthood profited from fetal tissue, but about whether Planned Parenthood was damaged by the fraud, trespass and breached agreements.
Orrick also instructed the jury not to consider the First Amendment as a defense.
"The First Amendment is not a defense to the claims in this case for the jury to consider," Orrick wrote ahead of trial. "Defendants' argument that they were citizen journalists was admissible as context for the defendants' case, not as a legal defense."
"When you have a case that was not able to be presented to the jury, you can't have a verdict that will reflect the truth," Breen said. "Our expectations for this jury were not high."
Daleiden and Merritt also face criminal charges of eavesdropping and invasion of privacy, and are scheduled to appear in state criminal court on Dec. 6 when San Francisco Superior Court Judge Christopher Hite will determine if the case should go to trial.
Breen said the civil verdict has no bearing on the criminal case, as defense witnesses who were not allowed in the civil case have already offered preliminary testimony on Daleiden's behalf. "We expect a different result in criminal court," Breen said.
Merritt's attorney Horatio Mihet also vowed to appeal the civil verdict. "We will continue to fight," he said. "We are disappointed with the outcome today but are confident this is not the last word."
In another blow for Daleiden and his organization Friday, a Ninth Circuit panel refused to disturb a federal judge's order blocking any further publication of recordings by the group.
The panel found that given the criminal proceedings Daleiden faces in California, congressional investigations that uncovered no wrongdoing and plaintiff National Abortion Federation's report of violence and disruptions stemming from the videos, the injunction is justified.

What Is a Chalazion? Symptoms, Causes, Diagnosis, Treatment, and Prevention
By Joseph Bennington-CastroMedically Reviewed by Ghazala O'Keefe, MD
Reviewed: January 23, 2023
A chalazion can develop when an oil gland in the eyelid becomes blocked.Alamy
A chalazion (pronounced ka-LAY-zee-un), also known as a meibomian cyst, is a type of fluid-filled bump on the upper or lower eyelid.
Chalazia (plural of chalazion) are sometimes confused with sties. A chalazion is a firm, painless lump that develops within the eyelid when an oil gland becomes obstructed or blocked. (1) A stye is basically an abscess of the eyelid and typically occurs when an oil gland at the edge of the eyelid becomes infected with bacteria, resulting in a pus-filled lump or pimple that can hurt.

Signs and Symptoms of a Chalazion
The primary sign of a chalazion is a lump inside the upper eyelid.
Less commonly, chalazia may develop inside the lower eyelid. A chalazion may be accompanied by increased tearing.
If a chalazion progresses to the point of inflammation, it can cause the area around it to become red, swollen, and painful. (1)
Causes and Risk Factors of a Chalazion
Meibomian glands, or tarsal glands, are located within the eyelids near the lashes. They produce a thin, oily lubricant that prevents evaporation of the tear film — the thin layer of tears that covers the outer surface of the eye (the cornea). (3)
"If that oil inside starts to thicken, that forms a reaction in the eyelid that produces this bump in your eyelid," says Sonul Mehta, MD, assistant professor of clinical ophthalmology at Penn Medicine in Philadelphia.
Both chalazia and sties are often a complication of blepharitis, a chronic inflammation of the eyelids. Conditions that cause meibomian gland secretions to become unusually thick, such as meibomian gland dysfunction and ocular rosacea, may also cause chalazia to develop. (4)
Additionally, the following conditions or factors are associated with an increased risk of developing a chalazion: (5)
A prior chalazion
Demodicosis (demodex mite infestation)
Low vitamin A levels in the blood
Gastrointestinal inflammation
How Is a Chalazion Diagnosed?
Diagnosis of a chalazion involves a comprehensive eye exam. Your optometrist or medical provider will start by obtaining your medical history to understand your symptoms and any health problems you may have that could contribute to your eyelid issues.
Your doctor will then examine your eyes, looking at your eyelid structure, skin texture, and the appearance of your eyelashes. Usually this is enough information to make a clinical diagnosis, though rarely the doctor will obtain a sample of fluid from the chalazion for lab testing. (6)
Prognosis of a Chalazion
Chalazia typically heal on their own. The prognosis with treatment is excellent in most cases. (7)
Duration of a Chalazion
"As long as there is no infection, a chalazion typically only lasts a few weeks provided it's treated properly," says Dr. Mehta.
Treatment and Medication Options for a Chalazion
To help the cysts heal, doctors recommend applying warm compresses to the affected eyelid for 10 to 15 minutes, 3 to 5 times a day. (2) "The warm compresses kind of 'melt' that oil and allow it to drain through," says Mehta.
You can also try to help the chalazion drain by gently massaging the eyelid for several minutes a day; but never try to push, squeeze, or "pop" the cyst. (8)
Medication Options
Doctors do not typically treat chalazions with systemic medication, like oral antibiotics. But sometimes a chalazion can prompt an inflammatory reaction or become infected, says Mehta. "Depending on the diagnosis, we will treat it with a topical steroid or antibiotic, or an antibiotic/steroid combination ointment or drop," she says.
Alternative and Complementary Therapies
The best treatment for a chalazion is a clean, warm, moist washcloth placed over the closed eyes a few times a day. Some people use warm tea bags, but there is no evidence that this is any better than the recommended warm washcloth. (9)
Prevention of a Chalazion
Good hygiene can help reduce your chances of developing chalazia: (8)
Wash your hands often, especially before touching your face and eyes.
If you wear contact lenses, wash your hands before and after removing them. Follow the recommended procedures for cleaning your lenses, and if you wear daily- or weekly-use lenses, discard them on the schedule recommended by your eye doctor.
Wash your face every night before bed.
Throw away old makeup and replace eye makeup every two to three months. Don't share or use another person's eye makeup.

Complications of a Chalazion
"If a chalazion doesn't drain on its own after treatment with compresses, sometimes we do an incision, which helps drain the bump and let that thickened oil come out," says Mehta.
A chalazion that doesn't go away within a few weeks should be evaluated by a doctor, says Mehta. "At that point, we want to be sure that we are pursuing the correct treatment and that the bump isn't something else. Not all lumps on the eyelid are the same, and so it's important to make sure that it's not another type of nodule," she says.
A chalazion that becomes very large can cause blurred vision if it presses against the eyeball. (1)
Research and Statistics: How Common Are Chalazia, and Who Tends to Get Them?
Chalazia are the most prevalent type of inflammatory lesions of the eyelid and account for approximately 13 percent of all benign (not cancerous) lid lesions. Adults are more likely to develop a chalazion than children are, with these cysts occurring most frequently in people between the ages of 30 and 50. (11)
Related Conditions and Causes of Chalazia
A sty (hordeolum) is an acute bacterial infection of the oil gland, says Mehta. "That's different from a chalazion, which is more of a sterile inflammation of the gland and not an infection," she says.
Blepharitis is a type of eyelid inflammation that usually affects both eyes along the edges of the eyelids. It often occurs when the tiny oil glands near the base of the eyelashes become clogged. The irritation and redness caused by blepharitis can be painful, but it doesn't cause permanent damage to eyesight and it's not contagious. (12)
National Eye Institute (NEI) conducts and supports vision research and education programs that protect and prolong vision. This organization provides information about eye conditions, healthy vision tips, and information on clinical trials.
ClinicalTrials.gov lists any ongoing or recently completed clinical trials for eye conditions.
Chalazion Support is a support group on Facebook for anyone experiencing a chalazion, whether for the first time or as a recurring problem.

How do you make your customers or readers remember you and your blog or business? How do you make them know instantly that they have arrived at your website, twitter feed or facebook page?
You create a logo that your visitors remember and associate with you and your business. Branding can be one of the most important steps when creating a business. Sometimes this can even make or break your business.
One way that you brand your business visually is by creating a logo for your company.
I have heard advice throughout the web on how to make a logo or brand for your business or blog. Not all of these suggestion for logos are good ideas.
We will be talking about 4 ways of creating a brand or logo and the pros and cons of each option.
I've actually seen a few suggestions to use your picture to represent you, your blog or your business. The thought behind this is that it is more personal. People really like to see a face behind a business.
You could also do this for very cheap by just taking a photo of yourself, but unless you are an excellent photographer I would not recommend using your own photos. You don't want to use a bad photo to represent you and your business.
What is the first impression a bad photo is going to give? Is that photo going to be remembered? In a good way?
Another issue with using your photo is that your personal image and your face are constantly changing. Think about your drivers license. Do you still look like that person in that picture?
If you are using your photo on your business cards (and even as a blogger you should have business cards) or on your website or your twitter you will want to keep it up to date. With business cards this can start becoming expensive.
This also runs into the trouble where you are trying to make a "look" that your readers or customers remember. But it will make it harder for them to remember your logo if it is constantly changing.
Let's now talk about the biggest issue with using your picture. This is not a logo. A logo should be simple, clean, and should be able to go from color to black and white (think photocopy). Obviously a photo is not a logo. It can be used in your branding but you should have a logo that can stand alone also.
Something I see constantly, especially in the blogging world, are "logos" created from stock images. This can be an inexpensive option especially when you are starting out.
But everybody is doing it and don't be surprised when you are browsing the Internet and you find somebody using the same logo as you.
You will also lose a little bit of that personal feeling when people see an image that closely represents you but isn't quite right. Then if they happen to find the same image on another website they will feel even less connected to you and your brand.
Stock images also have limitations on their licenses. Make sure and read the fine type. You may be limited to the number of printings you can have or limited on where and when you can use the image. Be careful.
This could be a great option for you. A friend may offer to create a logo for free or a discounted rate. But you have a couple negative outcomes that could show up.
Sometimes your friend may think they know how to make a logo, but you may find that they don't create it in the correct format so you may have to have it redone in the future. Or if the format is incorrect you may find you cannot use it for different marketing peices including posters, banners, stickers, t-shirts, etc. Logos should be created as a vector, not in Photoshop, and your designer should give you the original files.
You may also find that if your friend does create logos professionally that you will be at the bottom of their to do list. Your friend is still running a business and many freelancers over commit themselves. Doing a free or discounted logo is not going to be high priority for them.
You may find that nothing has been worked on for a month and you are still waiting for your logo. Or you may find that they rushed through your job just to get it out of the way and it is not up to par to their typical work.
Hiring a professional designer will be an investment and this investment depends on the logo and the designer you work with. Talk with the designer and find out if you will work well with them.
How many mock ups will I recieve?
Do you charge by the hour or by the design?
When you hire a professional designer for your logo you will find that they will spend the time with you to find out about you and your business. They will create a logo that is completely unique and will represent you and your business. When you see the final work you will be proud and say this is me, this is my business!
A professional will also make sure that the files will be in the correct format and may give you the logo in multiple formats for printers and for further work down the road. They should also get you the matching colors and fonts for other branding including your web design.
A professional can also help you learn more about how to make your logo usable in multiple formats including web, print, large or small, black and white or color.
Whichever way you go make sure that you pick a logo that you love and will love for a long time. Make sure that when you see this logo that in an instant you recognize it, it pops at you and that it truly represents you. Then use your logo everywhere: Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, website, blog, business cards, stationary, and anywhere you can mark your presence.
Thanks for the advice. Why should a logo be made into a vector though?
A vector is a file format that will allow your logo to be scaled up and down as needed, you can also the color scheme if you choose.
If you only receive a JPG or PNG file then you will not be able to use it for large (banner or business cards in high quality) or small items. When you resize a JPG or PNG the image will get distorted or you will get artifacts that degrade the image.
Oh so THAT'S how you get a picture that resizes correctly. I never understood how a vector was different, thanks. I'll have to research more on that.

The Polish Roman Catholic Union of America is the oldest Polish-American Fraternal. It was established in 1873 and is still today the largest Polish Roman Catholic fraternal benefit society in the United States.
The founders of the Polish Roman Catholic Union of America were Rev. Teodor Gieryk; Rev. Vincent Barzynski, CR; and Jan Barzynski, editor of the "Pilgrim" one of the earliest Polish language papers in the U.S. By the late 19th century, large numbers of Polish immigrants were arriving in America, seeking a better life. Jan Barzynski was writing editorials that these Polish immigrants should unite into one organization. To effect this he organized the Polish Organization in America. The first convention of this was held at St. Adalbert Church in Detroit, Michigan in 1873. At this convention delegates renamed the organization the Polish Roman Catholic Union of America, as they felt it was important for Poles to remain faithful to the Roman Catholic Church. The convention approved a pioneer social work program to administer to the spiritual and material needs of the Polish immigrants. Rev. Teodor Gieryk was elected the first president of the PRCUA and Rev. Leopold Moczygemba, founder of the first organized Polish colony at Panna Maria, Texas, was elected to succeed him.
Initially, the PRCUA had no insurance system. It helped its members by collecting donations for widows, orphans, and the needy. In 1886, Rev. Vincent Barzynski, CR introduced an insurance system, which was implemented. The PRCUA donated large sums of money to build churches, schools, and do the worthwhile projects of Polonia.
They urged members to blend the best of their Polish culture with their newly acquired American virtues and ideals so they could become good citizens and loyal patriots.
Today the PRCUA is licensed in 24 states and has 565 active Societies.
