I lived on streets of Port Harcourt like a madman – Amaechi's aide
Israel Chibueze Ibeleme, a Media Aide to former Rivers State Governor and the Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Amaechi, has recounted what he went through before meeting the politician.
He told the story of how he slept, bathed in open street, had nothing to eat, while having on shirt on for over six months.
Christmas is coming. What do you want to
do in this special time of the year?
Learn more Ibeleme, who hails from Isiala-Oboro village in Ikwuano Local Government Area of Abia State, told Vanguard that he was called a madman and all sorts of names because of extreme poverty.
He said, "From 2003 and 2008, I lived in Port Harcourt without help. I became a photographer because that was the only way I could get food. I slept in the street in Rumuomoi opposite the transformer because I had been driven out of the house where I lived with a relative.
"There was a young man that sold electrical parts that always gave me cartons to sleep on whenever he closed from his shop.
"I would bath between 12 midnight and 1am because I had to do it almost in the middle of the road and that was the best time to do it as traffic would have eased.
"One particular day I told God I was not looking for mattress, pillow or even coverlet to sleep, but just a roof over my head. The first wardrobe I had to keep my things was inside the transformer beside the open space where I always slept in the street.
"I had only one pair of shoes, one pair of trousers and a T-shirt. Everyone around the community knew me with the clothes.
Sometimes I fed on N20 per day. People called me all kinds of names just because I always slept in the street. Life was miserable; people didn't want me around them. Though I had a village I could go back to, I made up my mind I wasn't returning there.
"I started street photography and I was making between N20 and N40 per day. To cut the long story short, there was never a time back then when I found something to eat when I needed it, but, in all of these, I was very close to God.
"I didn't tell my family what I was going through until my troubles were over. It was a difficult moment in my life. I was known as Eze the photographer.
"People called me a mad man, a demon because I kept wearing one shirt every day sometimes for six months. I always trekked to my destination in town, no matter how far, until God used somebody one day to change my story.
"And after my story changed, I always reflect on what my life used to be and what I went through and I know that someone somewhere is going through similar experience.
"I made a vow to God that if He removed me from abject poverty, I will do everything humanly possible to help those in need and that is why I initiated Israel Ibeleme Foundation."

Andrés Ricaurte Vélez (born 3 October 1991) is a Colombian footballer who plays for Independiente Medellín, as an attacking midfielder.

Club career
Born in Medellín, Ricaurte graduated from the Rionegro Águilas youth academy. He made his first team debut on 4 May 2011, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 1–2 Copa Colombia away loss against Independiente Medellín.

Ricaurte made his Categoría Primera A debut on 14 April 2012, playing the last four minutes in a 1–1 home draw against the same opponent. His first goal in the category occurred on 10 November, as he scored the opener in a 3–2 away defeat of Atlético Huila.

After being rarely used, Ricaurte moved to Categoría Primera B side Leones ahead of the 2016 season. He scored a career-best ten goals for the side, which included a hat-trick in a 4–1 away routing of Bogotá FC on 20 March.

In 2017, Ricaurte joined Atlético Huila back in the top tier. On 15 December of that year, after being an ever-present figure for the side, he agreed to a contract with Independiente Medellín.

He scored his first goal of the 2018 season on 11 February, a game winner against Boyaca Chico. On 15 October he scored another game winner against América de Cali, and three days later he scored in a 2–0 victory against Atlético Bucaramanga. Medellin eventually made the final of the Finalizacion tournament, but lost 5–4 to Junior. The following year, Ricaurte was part of the Medellin squad that won the 2019 Copa Colombia, and scored a goal in the first leg of the semifinals against Deportivo Pasto.

On 14 August 2020, MLS side FC Dallas officially confirmed Ricaurte's transfer, announcing the move as an initial loan with an option to make the deal permanent in December 2021. On 12 September, he scored his first goal for the club in a 2–1 victory against Houston Dynamo.

Personal life
Ricaurte's father Carlos was also a footballer and a midfielder who notably represented Atlético Nacional. His cousin Juan Guillermo, was also a professional player.

Salvation is the most basic truth about Christianity. Salvation centers on what Jesus Christ did for all men. Being a sinless man, he substituted as payment for your sin and mine. That's good news. Now the Catholic Church teaches that if you die with a mortal sin on your soul you can go to hell, and some churches teach that you can lose your salvation, but others say no, once you receive the seed of God's spirit you are going to heaven forever.' You may not receive many rewards once you get there, but you are going to get there. But what is common to Christianity is salvation. There are twists and turns by various churches, but if you accept Jesus as your Lord, if you commit to him he saves you.
What does that mean? It means you are going to heaven. Despite what people might want to tell us no one is good enough on their own to be with God. In the book of Romans we read that there is no one that is good, not one.(Romans 3:12) Everybody has lied, been deceitful, cursed, been bitter, hurt someone, done something that disqualifies them from being the kind of good that God requires to be in his presence.
This is the most basic truth about Christianity. We all fall short of God's standards. We can never be "good enough." No matter how hard we try we cannot be sinless. The price of sin is eternal destruction. God doesn't grade on a curve. You either are sinless and get to be with Him eternally or you don't. But God is merciful and compassionate. He provided a way for us to overcome this seemingly insurmountable hurdle. He sent his son. His son lived a perfect life. Because he lived that perfect life he should not have had to die.
Death is the consequence of sin. Jesus Christ had no sin. Jesus didn't die because he had to. Jesus chose to die that horrible death on the cross to pay for our sin so that we could have eternal life. There is no greater love than that. He gave his life for us.
I heard a story a while back about a man who was on a rooftop as the river was rising in a flood. He saw that the water would soon rise over the roof so he prayed that God would save him. He felt confident that God was a merciful God that answered prayer, and waited patiently. Soon, a helicopter came by, and lowered a rope. But the man hated flying, and told the pilot to go on but not to worry because God was going to save him. As the water rose to near the rooftop he heard a shout and saw a man in a boat. But he didn't like the look of the man or the boat he was in, so he told the man to go on but not to worry because God was going to save him. Well, pretty soon the water swept over the roof. The man didn't make it. He drowned.
If you have not accepted Christ you are dying. In truth you are spiritually dead. If you don't like the method God has sent to save you then you suffer the eternal consequences. Jesus Christ is the helicopter and the boat. Accept the gift. Get in. Do what he says. He is piloting the ship. He's in charge. He's the boss. And he will take you from death to life.
Dear God, I confess my shortcomings. I believe you sent Jesus Christ to pay the price for my sin, which he did, and you raised him from the dead. I thankfully submit to him now as lord in my life.
When you do this you become a new creation in Christ. This is the start of a new life. One with Christ at the center and eternal life with him as its duration.
In my my journey I have personally seen that Jesus Christ is as real and personal to many Baptists as He is to many Pentecostals, and vice versa. The same is true for many believers in many different denominational and non-denominational churches. This relationship of Jesus as Lord is the cornerstone of Christianity everywhere.
This is also the standard of the books of the bible, that people believed the Word of God (Acts 4:4), received the Word of God(Acts 2:41), and followed (Acts 12:8) Christ as Lord and Savior(Romans 10:9-10).

The Unmanifesto, Then?
The AAP, an extraordinary league for ordinary gentlemen?
By Neera Chandhoke
Narendra Bisht
Neera Chandhoke	January 20, 2014 00:00 IST The Unmanifesto, Then?
What precisely has the league of fairly 'ordinary men' (and some women) accomplished in the realm of the extraordinary? Arguably, the AAP has reminded established political parties that those who aspire to power have to connect with the constituency they want to represent. For political parties, there is simply no alternative, neither muscular political rhetoric, nor helicopter visits to electoral spaces on the eve of elections, neither the playing off of caste and religious identities against each other, nor the offer of superficial collective benefits. AAP has also encouraged the belief that alternatives to a moribund and stale political system can be found. We have to look for and pursue these alternatives.
This is not the first time that such hope has been aroused in a thoroughly disenchanted political community. J.P. Narayan awakened faith when he led a major onslaught on the corridors of power in the early 1970s. In 1977, his persona presided over the electoral defeat of the Emergency regime, and the rise of an alternative in the form of the Janata...

Q: React-native-webview RNCWebView.isFileUploadSupported Error on Expo EAS Android Build SDK 47 Bug description:
The Expo Supported version of this package 11.23.1 is throwing an error and not moving past the splash screen. This started happening after upgrading from Expo SDK 45 to Expo SDK 47. on EAS Android Build.
This module works just fine in Expo Go but when I load my app in the actual Android build I get the error below:
  TypeError: null is not an object (evaluating '_reactNative.NativeModules.RNCWebView.isFileUploadSupported')

To Reproduce:
Step 1: Run npx create-expo-app my-app and cd my-app (sdk 47)
Step 2: Install react-native-webview npx expo install react-native-webview. Yarn is used as the package manager.
Step 2:  Add WebView like the example below to the main App.js file:
import * as React from 'react';
import { WebView } from 'react-native-webview';

export default function App() {
  return (
    <WebView
      style={{width: 100, height: 100}}
      source={{ uri: 'https://expo.dev' }}
    />
  );
}

Step 3: Create EAS Android  (I recommend using the following in your EAS profile: { "developmentClient": true, "distribution": "internal" }. This will make it easier to see the error message.)
Step 4: (If using developmentClient build) Start expo locally npx expo start and open in Android Build. (NOTE: react-native-webview works fine in Expo Go, it only throws the error when loading it in an actual build.)
Expected behavior:
App should load past the splash screen.
Screenshots/Videos:
The following error happened after loading my app in the Android Build

Environment:

*

*OS: Mac

*OS version: 12.5

*react-native version: 0.70.5

*react-native-webview version: 11.23.1

*Expo CLI Version: 0.4.11

*EAS CLI Version: 3.2.1

*Node Version: 14.21.0

*Yarn Version: 1.22.19

I tried to use react-native-webview inside of an Expo EAS Android Build using Expo SDK 47.
I expected for the app to load just fine like the previous version of my app built with Expo SDK 45 and Expo Build:Android.
Currently it's not moving past the splash screen and is throwing the following error: TypeError: null is not an object (evaluating '_reactNative.NativeModules.RNCWebView.isFileUploadSupported')

A: I worked with other developers using the same Expo version and build process and react-native-webview worked for them. This made me think that maybe it had something to do with my environment and not the module.
This caused me to look into what version of node, npx, yarn, etc. I moved to Node v18+ (I was previously on Node 14) and that upgraded me to NPX v8.19.2. After that I went through the same steps to reproduce the problem it worked!!
Hopefully this helps someone else!

Not much happened on the special episode of "Euphoria" that aired Sunday night on HBO. No plots appeared to move forward in any meaningful way. There was no grand catharsis about Rue (Oakland native Zendaya), whom the episode was named after. There were no sensory overloads, sexual undertones or acute acts of violence, signature elements for the drama series' first season. The show's core couple, Rue and Jules (Hunter Schafer), didn't share a shred of screen time outside of a dream sequence and a text message. And the season one finale cliffhanger — in which Jules left Rue high and dry at the train station, leading the vulnerable recovering addict back into old habits — found no resolution.
Instead, most of the hour was spent swimming through the minds of two addicts — Rue and her mentor/sponsor Ali (Colman Domingo) — during an hour-long dialogue inside a quiet diner on Christmas Eve. The tête-à-tête wasn't a debate or argument for life, but a slow-burn reveal of where Ali has come from, what it's taught him and why Rue should keep fighting for her sobriety.
It may not have felt like a typical episode of "Euphoria," but that's the reason it worked. It was a singular character study.
Series creator Sam Levinson has said the characters on the HBO drama series are rooted in his own experience. What the latest installment showed us was perhaps the closest voice to present-day Levinson (or maybe the mentors who guided him toward sobriety), in Ali, talking to a younger version of himself, Rue, and encouraging them to keep on living.

For Rue, the embarrassment of Jules leaving pushed her to a seemingly inevitable relapse, the predictability of which made it more harrowing for herself and viewers. In the special episode, Ali sat across from her — spending the first ten minutes of what would be a wondrous and scatterbrained dialogue about philosophy, race, religion and how depression and addiction can unmake us — trying to lower her wall of shame.
In that opening salvo, Rue takes a hit in the diner's restroom and spouts off about how she's found an emotional balance in her life: "I made (Jules) the point. But she's, like, not the point, I'm the point," she said as the drugs start to settle in her system.
"Your sobriety is the point," Ali responds frankly.
This exchange found Rue trying, unsuccessfully, to make it seem like she can live with her addiction. But Ali saw through the performance and broke down her walls by sharing his own painful history with the disease. It's not until Rue admitted that she'd probably end her own life if she wasn't back on drugs that we gained insight into her true mental state in the aftermath of Jules' actions.
Throughout the hour, we see how the teenage addict continued to struggle with severe depression and guilt for harms brought on her loved ones, and how those feelings have made her grow disillusioned with the idea of living a long life. The episode was a showcase for Domingo, and a testament to Zendaya's historic Emmy win for the role of Rue.

The actress, who became the youngest Black woman to win the Emmy for lead actress in a drama series this year, leaned back and propped a skeptical eyebrow as Ali harangued her on finding "the poetry" of existence, the unexplainable beauty found in living through life's pain.
Domingo's raspy, sage voice is truly an instrument here; his delivery ranges from melodiously tender to poignant staccato at the turn of a phrase. His performance matched Zendaya's laid-back energy as Ali accidentally revealed his real name is Martin, that he was sober for 12 years before relapsing, that he has two daughters — including one who hates him for violence he inflicted on his family while using drugs — and that he converted to Islam.
Sure, the episode put Rue under the microscope, and all of these revealing moments are in service to her character; for instance, we saw Ali call his daughter to wish her a merry Christmas after Rue brings his kids up. But that phone call served as evidence for the audience of Ali's experiential authority as a recovering addict. He's interrogated and overcome much of the ugliness of his past, while also accepting the fact that some people will never forgive him for it.
But Ali chose to continue to live, to continue to wrestle with himself, to really come into who he is. In "Euphoria," the character stands as evidence that life can carry on despite our heartbreaks and traumas. Levinson's unveiling of Ali's backstory served up a slice of truth and wisdom for the troubled youth in this new chapter in her story.
The character's efforts appeared to be futile, however, as Rue took a moment to gather her thoughts and responded, "I just don't think I'm going to be here that long." Then Ali asked her how she wanted to be remembered should she take her own life.
She tearfully whispered, "Someone who really tried to be someone she's not."
And, it's true. Rue isn't sober anymore, but it's not due to some grand failing or self-sabotage, as Ali reminds us. It's a setback of her disease. Rue uses drugs to live with the erasure and anxiety that comes for a young, vulnerable soul living through difficult times, combined with learned behaviors from her early childhood encouraging her to medicate her hyperactive brain. This left her unable to recognize her own power and at the mercy of others' approval to find it. By the end of the hour, there's not a sense she has been persuaded to give up drugs entirely, but at least she has accepted that Ali believes she's strong enough to keep trying.
Before its premiere, HBO made it clear that the special episode was not a part of the series' upcoming second season, so it's no surprise that there was no concrete plot development. Still, this character study of Rue and Ali left us with little sense of resolution. She doesn't seem to back off from her reckless disregard for her life and makes no promises of sobriety. Nothing really moves forward. But what we do see is the process of her finding a chosen family, someone who gets her struggle because he's navigated it his entire life.
If nothing else happened during this very odd episode, it established the hope that Rue can live to be and do better, the vision of a future self who chooses every day to not take a hit, the comfort of a hand in yours saying, "I see you, I have faith in you," that might just keep her alive. And that's not nothing.
Euphoria Special Episode: Stream on HBO Max. A second special episode is set to premiere Jan. 24 on HBO and HBO Max.

Season Language and Cultural Transition Day for Year 6 students
Tina Dawson, North Albany Senior High School, WA
In 2016, having just returned from a year in Japan as the 2015 WA Education Department's exchange teacher to Hyogo Prefecture, I was nominated to participate in the Department's Language Leader Initiative program. The idea was to develop and lead some form of action research to achieve a set of self-created objectives.
While in Japan, I collected an insane number of seasonal resources and witnessed the Sempai – Kohai system in action. I wanted to use both in my Japanese Language classes back in Australia. It would be an interesting way for students to be in charge of their own learning as well as learning from peers. Students could also learn with authentic resources. Hopefully, this would boost their long term interest in the country and in the learning of the language.
Inspiration for my project came from working with the Hyogo Centre and Japan Foundation, Sydney who brought the Obento Workshop and Japanese Roadshow to our school. In both events, students from schools within a 50km radius came to participate. However, in rural WA regular access to events is not possible for our students as most are held in capital cities. With this in mind, the opportunity presented to create our own event. I decided to develop a Season Language and Cultural Transition Day for Year 6 students coming to our school the following year. The Year 7 language students would be the Sempai; the Year 6 students would be the Kohai. I decided not to make it a Japanese only day, but include the Italian classes and our Indigenous program. Incorporating all languages in the school sends a clear message to our feeder schools, students and the community that languages are an important part of the curriculum at our school.
Year 7 students worked in groups for approximately 8 weeks to research, create and rehearse a 15 minute lesson which included language, or language and culture. Japanese language students could use my resources, create their own, or both. Some worked very hard ensuring everything was prepared in advance. The lesson was based on something related to the seasons and included season based language games, Italian mask making, dot painting, local Indigenous storytelling, using calligraphy to write the season names in Kanji, making New Year decorations, seasonal patterns on Kimono, Tanabata story and wishes, Setsubun story telling, ehomaki (good fortune sushi roll) making and bean throwing, New Year kite making, Hanabi and Lantern festival's lantern making, Hanami card making, Tsukimi mochi tasting, teru teru bozu making, uchiwa making, seasonal foods, and so on. In total, 44 lessons were prepared by 120 students for the 130 Year 6 students who attended.
The school gym was transformed for the morning of activities. Nearly all students were engaged throughout the morning. As nearly all Year 7 students were involved, those classes were collapsed and the teachers helped out. They were surprised to see those few students who were sometimes non-compliant, totally engaged in teaching their activity. The morning also gave them a first glimpse at next year's cohort as well. The Year 6 teachers, not knowing what to expect, were amazed at the amount of work that students had put in to prepare the lessons. The Year 6 students were nearly always engaged and students from the various schools started to mingle during the day. The day set a positive tone for language learning at our school leaving students wanting to continue learning a language in high school because it is 'cool'. Now the tone is set, it is up to the language teachers to continue the momentum into the Year 7 classes where this year's kohai will be next year's sempai.
I have ideas for further events such as this and a couple of trips back to Japan in early 2017 will see a large supply of resources collected for the next project. However, none of this would have happened without seeing what could be done through the Japan Foundation's travelling programs and the support and advice they have provided over the last few years. Nor would it have happened without a very supportive principal who believes in the value of language learning and has belief in me as a teacher to bring together such an event.
Editor's note: Tina reported on this project at the 2016 Key Language Leaders Presentations, at the Department of Education WA Statewide Services Centre in December 2016, attended by Ben Trumbull of The Japan Foundation, Sydney.
The Japan Foundation, Sydney offers grants for running workshops, classroom materials grants, and offers Japan realia loans (Japan-in-a-box). Please see our website for details.
Some of Tina's resources in her classroom, including a tatami mat
Various workstations were set up in the gym for students to revolve around.

Q: How to create label on cumulative stacked bar chart and position it I have a simple data set:
d1 <- c(">2000ppm", ">1000ppm", "<1000ppm", "<450ppm", ">2000ppm", ">1000ppm", "<1000ppm", "<450ppm")
d2 <- c("S3", "S3", "S3", "S3", "S4", "S4", "S4", "S4")
d3 <- c(0.0, 16.6, 83.4, 14.4, 0.8, 40.7, 59.3, 13.0)
B <- data.frame(d1,d2,d3)
colnames(B) <- c("Category", "Room", "Value")
View(B)

The value is percentages, and the sum of proportion >1000ppm and <1000ppm is naturally 100%.
This is what I have so far:
B$Category <- factor(B$Category, c("<450ppm", "<1000ppm", ">1000ppm", ">2000ppm"))

ggplot(B, aes(x=Room, y=Value, fill=Category)) +
  geom_bar(position="fill", stat="identity") +
  scale_fill_brewer()

I would like to have labels on the bar charts. How do I do that..?
The proportion >2000ppm is included in >1000ppm
– and <450ppm is of course included in the <1000ppm proportion.
It is difficult to check whether I made the bar chart correctly...
How do I construct the geom_text for the labels?
I imagine changes to be something like this: see red on picture.. http://www.bygningsfysik.dk/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Test-3.png

A: Here's one way to do it:
library(dplyr)
B %>%
  group_by(Room) %>%
  mutate(perc = Value / sum(Value)) %>%
  mutate(pos = cumsum(perc) - (0.5 * perc))  %>%
  ggplot(aes(x=Room, y=perc, fill=Category)) +
    geom_bar(position="fill", stat="identity") +
    scale_fill_brewer() +
    geom_text(aes(label = sprintf("%.1f", Value), y = pos), colour = "red", size = 4) +
    labs(y = "Value")

WARNING: ROBBERS AT WORK IN THE CHURCHES
"It used to be robbers who mugged pedestrians. Now it's a gang of priests assaulting worshippers." (Hosea 6:9).
A colleague of mine insists he is still looking for Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo of Kingsway International Christian Centre, London. He said: "Anybody who knows where I can find him should let me know." "Why are you looking for him?" I wondered. "He owes me money," he maintained.
Money Doublers
He had attended one of the services conducted by the pastor as guest-preacher in his church. Pastor Matthew preached a sermon entitled: "24-Hour Miracle." At the climax, he asked the congregation to write cheques for as much money as they possibly could, with the iron-clad guarantee that it would more than double within 24 hours. In that time, he assured them, someone would send them a ridiculously large sum by divine ordinance. You might get a call or a visit from someone about the miracle money, or notification that it had been deposited in your bank account.
This gentleman was so hoodwinked by this hocus-pocus that he first wrote a cheque for half of his entire savings. Then, on second-thoughts, he gave the other half as well. The next day, he did not go to work, waiting for the miracle call; but nothing happened. He thought perhaps he had made a mistake. Perhaps the 24 hours would start counting later than he had expected; so he waited for another day. Still nothing happened. After two weeks, it dawned on him that he had been scammed. By that time, the cheques had long been cashed. He went looking for the "man of God," but he had left the country.
Let me let you in on a secret. Pastors don't usually do a scam of this scale in their own churches. They do it at the invitation of another pastor. But they have an agreement beforehand that for every naira raised, the host pastor would give them a certain percentage as commission. This is then done on a tit-for-tat basis. When they do the scam in your church, you reciprocate by doing it in theirs.
Sometimes it gets really wild and this scam is done over several days. People are told to go and bring their televisions, stereos, fridge-freezers, cars, jewellery, money; anything and everything. Some even bring the Certificate of Occupancy of their homes. Some give the very suits they are wearing and go back home in their underwear, confident that God is going to astonish them. It usually takes a while before they realise they have been conned. But some never wake up from the hypnosis.
Daylight robbery
Jide Ayanfalu inherited a generator from his late "guardian." He used it for business purposes by renting it out to people who needed it on special occasions. It so happened that the generator in his church, Zoe Ministries Worldwide, was stolen. The pastor insisted that church-members should not be told about the theft; otherwise they might conclude that God was not in the church. He asked Jide if they could use his generator in the meantime.
Jide was agreeable to this: some of his best customers were churches. But one week, two weeks, three weeks, one month, after the church took his generator; Jide was not paid a dime. Two months, three months, four months afterwards; still no payment for the use of the generator. Finally, Jide summoned up courage to confront the pastor. If they would not pay him for the use of his generator, at least they should give it back to him.
The pastor was very offended. He preached a fiery sermon in which he told the people in no uncertain terms that their destinies were tied to his church. "Don't you know," he asked menacingly, "we have the power to withhold your blessings?" The royal "we" referred to the pastor himself. Then he button-holed Jide after the service and went for the jugular: "Don't you think you should give the church your generator?" he demanded.
Jide was troubled and could not answer. He came to me to seek counsel as to what he should do. I immediately pointed out to him that a robbery was in progress. I said to him: "Jide, forget about having any discussion with your pastor. Hire a van and go and remove your generator from the church."
Gangs of priests
In biblical days, Shechem was a "city of refuge" as well as a city of Levites and priests. The cities of refuge were established to provide hiding-places for the guiltless refugee on the run for his life from a stubborn-pursuer. But the priests banded together as a gang of robbers, and they waylaid the hapless on the way to Shechem.
In effect, those appointed to teach the people the truth of God that they might live were the very ones who endangered their lives. Thus, Hosea observes that: "It used to be robbers who mugged pedestrians. Now it's a gang of priests assaulting worshippers." (Hosea 6:9).
Today, pastors are no longer preoccupied with the rehabilitation of thieves. They are now single-minded in swindling members of their congregation.
Offerings by extortion
My wife and I had gone one Sunday to worship at our local parish of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Lagos. But what ensued that morning caught us off-guard. The pastor was in a nasty mood. The new church building was not progressing at a desirable pace. Apparently, the funds for it had dried up. So the entire service was devoted to reprimanding church-members for not contributing enough money to the Building Fund.
Suddenly, he ordered the entire congregation to stand up. Then he asked those prepared to contribute a very high amount of money to raise their hands. When they did, he instructed the ushers to write down their names. He then told them to sit down. Then he mentioned another sum a little lower than the previous one, and went through the same process again and again. By so doing, he was determined to extract a commitment from everyone present by hook or crook.
We were not opposed to contributing to the Building Fund, but were determined not to be arm-twisted. We were also opposed to the making of public pledges. Jesus says: "When you do a charitable deed, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, that your charitable deed may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will himself reward you openly." (Matthew 6:3-4).
So we resolved not to oblige to the pastor's demands. He kept going one sum lower than the next and soon, he was down to one hundred naira in the attempt to shame those of us still on our feet. But we kept on standing and refused to make any public commitment. Then he did something strange. He asked an usher to give me a cordless microphone and then he asked: "Dr. Aribisala, maybe you can tell us how we are supposed to pay for the new building."
The eyes of the entire church were upon me. I noticed that many were even embarrassed for my sake. But I refused to be intimidated. So I answered him: "Pastor, I am not qualified to answer that question. I think we should fast and pray and ask the Lord."

Welcome to Faces of Ocean Planning, where we take you behind the scenes to feature people and organizations who use the ocean in a variety of ways and are engaged in the Northeast Regional Ocean Plan process.
The clock reads 11am, and New England Science and Sailing, located in Stonington, CT, is quiet – though it won't be that way for long. Soon, groups of kids and teenagers will be arriving back from their morning lessons for lunch.
New England Science and Sailing, or NESS for short, is a source of education and fun for the surrounding communities, providing programs year-round for everyone from preschoolers to adults.
And with more people comfortable in the water, the more likely they are to understand and respect the ocean and what's happening within it.
From adventure sports, to marine science, power boating, to, of course, sailing, NESS offers something for everyone, and with that comes an opportunity for everyone to grasp ocean planning and management concepts.
Horrigan says that all of their programming starts with making sure attendees understand the imperative to "Respect everything in the area," whether that means catching and releasing critters as part of learning about ecosystems, or respecting other ocean users in the area. And, when your neighbors include fishermen, recreational users, and the Navy, respecting other ocean users takes a fair amount of communication and collaboration.
NESS' daily operations prove to be a salient metaphor for the importance of ocean planning on both a local and regional scale. Every day, Horrigan and her students balance their activities in concert with their neighbors large and small. Just as it takes an ample amount of effort by everyone at the local level to ensure that no two uses conflict with each other, a regional ocean management plan (like the one currently in development by the Northeast Regional Planning Body) will ensure the same for all who frequent New England's working waterfronts, coasts, and ocean.
New England's regional ocean plan was driven by the National Ocean Policy executive order in 2010 and will be completed in 2016. Once implemented, the plan will help stakeholders to better collaborate, share information, and facilitate effective decision-making for the management of our ocean.
As NESS fosters a growing community of burgeoning young ocean lovers, ocean planning in the northeast will provide the framework through which such stewardship can thrive for years to come.

Q: ¿Diferencia entre clases de tipo Any y T en Kotlin? En Kotlin me he topado con diversos fragmentos de código en donde hacen uso de clases Any y/o genéricas(T), en donde el objetivo es indicar que esa variable puede ser de cualquier clase.
Según la documentación oficial Any es la superclase en kotlin, todas las clases heredan de ella.
Mis dudas son:
¿Cual es la diferencia entre ambos tipos de clases?
¿Cuando y donde usar cada una?

A: No tengo experiencia con Kotlin, pero tras leer la documentación Any es la superclase raiz de todas (equivalente a object en C# por ejemplo). Todo objeto hereda de Any, por tanto todo objeto es de tipo Any.
Los tipos genéricos son otra cosa. T es sustituido en cada caso por el tipo del objeto que se pasa al método, pero no existe boxing ni unboxing. Puedes pensar en ello como un comodín que es sustituido por el tipo correspondiente, y cualquier en el paso de una variable a otra de tipo T, se comprueba que coincidan ambos tipos.
En cuanto a cuando usar cada una, lo normal es utilizar siempre donde sea posible los genéricos. De esa manera te ahorraras por un lado tener que realizar en algún momento un cast al tipo correcto, y por el otro el compilador te avisará en tiempo de compilación de cualquier error de casting que tengas en tu código.
Como digo no tengo experiencia con Kotlin, pero su filosofía es por lo que veo prácticamente calcada a la de .Net. Y basándome en eso, yo diría que usar Any no es apropiado prácticamente en ningún contexto, ya que pierdes todas las ventajas del tipado de objetos. Usa siempre genéricos.

The error I encountered when sending post request:

When I'm using postman with the same payload and auth, it works, so I'm really baffled on what might be causing the issue.

A: I was having the same problem but in some moment I notice a unspect solution. The particular fetch problem was happening when my components received params by URL (useParams). I don't how but after avoid using this, I'd never had the same problem again.

What Can We Do As Marketers Right Now?
by Andrew Schulkind
Up is down, down is up, and not a whole lot seems to make sense in our currently crazy, mixed up world. That doesn't mean we get to take the month(s) off or hide under a rock. Here are a few thoughts on ways to respond to a vastly different sales and marketing landscape.
Don't Social Distance
No, I'm not encouraging you to flout the safety of hunkering down, wearing PPE, and staying a minimum of 6 feet from others to help flatten the curve. I'm telling you that going silent in your marketing is not the way to come out of this crisis as strong or stronger than you went into it. You almost certainly will need to adjust your message and tone, but there way to communicate effectively right now, even if it takes you some creative thinking to find it.
Invest In Your Own Marketing
Since you need to think creatively anyway, now is a great time to re-evaluate your own marketing. That may mean adjusting to rely less on the hard sell and more on relationship building, drip marketing, and providing value to prospects at every stage of their buying cycle. Note that this may not mean adding to sales and marketing budgets; a redeployment may be more appropriate.
Identify Metrics and Measurement
It's easy for me to tell you to invest in ongoing marketing, but that investment may not be easy if there's less money coming in than usual.
Even if your revenue is still strong, now is a great opportunity to make your marketing investment more likely to pay off by gaining an understanding of what's working and what's not.
You may find it difficult to track the ROI of every marketing dollar you spend, but you should be moving toward a place where you can. Obviously, this will pay dividends even in less challenging times.
Expand Your Brand
Examine what you're offering now to find ways you can adapt What do you do now that could be adapted to the new needs of your clients in the current climate? Don't guess at this — take an educated guess and then ask your clients whether what you were thinking is on the mark. You'll gain valuable insights into where do focus your marketing energy and your firm's creativity.
(Also, it's amazing how often fact-finding missions like this can turn into paid projects.)

Q: Chartjs v2 - format tooltip for multiple data sets (bar and line) Reading up a lot on how to format the tooltip in ChartJS v2.x utilizing the tooltip callback. I've had success thus far, but find that I'm unable to define two separate formats for the two data sets I have.
As a bit more context, I have a line chart overlayed on top of a bar chart:

*

*My bar data is numerical (in the millions, and needs to be rounded and truncated).

*Example: 22345343 needs to be shown as 22M in the tooltip

*

*My line data is a currency

*Example: 146.36534 needs to shown as $146.37 in the tooptip

Here's my short WIP code thus far. This formats the tooltip to round and include the $ sign.  How can I expand this so that I can separately format my bar data correctly in the tooltip?

tooltips: {
                mode: 'index',
                intersect: false,
                callbacks: {
                    label: function(tooltipItem, data) {
                        return "$" + Number(tooltipItem.yLabel).toFixed(2).replace(/./g, function(c, i, a) {
                                    return i > 0 && c !== "." && (a.length - i) % 3 === 0 ? "," + c : c;
                                });
                    }
                }
            }

A: You could achieve that using the following tooltips callback function ...
callbacks: {
    label: function (t, d) {
        if (t.datasetIndex === 0) {
            return '$' + t.yLabel.toFixed(2)
        } else if (t.datasetIndex === 1) {
            return Math.round(+t.yLabel.toString().replace(/(\d{2})(.*)/, '$1.$2')) + 'M';
        }
    }
}

IDS hits back on Archbishop attack
Iain Duncan Smith has hit back at claims by senior religious figures that government welfare reforms would hit children hardest, insisting there was "nothing moral" about leaving families on benefits.
The Archbishop of Canterbury has condemned Government plans to change the benefits system [PA]
In the face of a searing attack led by the new Archbishop of Canterbury in his first major political intervention, the Work and Pensions Secretary said "fairness" was at the centre of the overhaul he was steering through parliament.
A letter in the Sunday Telegraph signed by 43 bishops and endorsed by the Archbishops of Canterbury and York claimed that capping benefit rises at 1% will have a "deeply disproportionate" effect on children.
But Mr Duncan Smith told ITV News: "This is about fairness. People who are paying taxes, working very hard, have hardly seen any increases in their salary and yet, under the last government, the welfare bill rose by some 60% to £200 billion. That means they have to pay for that under their taxes, which is simply not fair.
"That same system trapped huge numbers, millions, in dependency, dependent on the state, unable, unwilling to work. What is either moral or fair about that? That's my challenge over to the bishop."
He added: "There is nothing moral or fair about a system that I inherited that trapped people in welfare dependency, some one in every five households has no work, that's not the way to end child poverty. Getting people back to work is the way to end child poverty. That's the moral and fair way to do it."
But the Most Rev Justin Welby, who will be formally enthroned at Canterbury Cathedral on March 21, said "children and families will pay the price" if plans to change the system go ahead in their current form. The archbishop said the Welfare Benefits Up-rating Bill would remove the protection could push 200,000 children into poverty.
He said: "Politicians have a clear choice. By protecting children from the effects of this Bill, they can help fulfil their commitment to end child poverty."
Liberal Democrat peer Lord Ashdown said the Archbishop of Canterbury's comments were "an important thing" for him to say and insisted "all of us are concerned about" it.
Shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper said: "I think it is pretty simple on Mother's Day to say that the Government should help mums not millionaires - they are cutting taxes for millionaires and yet they are taking away money from mums at a time when they really want to be able to stay at home with their new-borns."


Sharing its basic styling and underpinnings with the Skoda Citigo and Volkswagen Up, the Mii also proves to be the cheapest of the trio by a small margin so it's certainly fine value for money. Admittedly, the exterior styling lacks a bit of sparkle but it counters by offering an enjoyable driving experience and a solidly built, comfortable cabin.
It's just about roomy enough for four as well, although the thrummy 60PS, three-cylinder engine is likely to struggle with a fully laden Mii. Still, it's well equipped in SE trim or you could opt for the Ecomotive model for which SEAT claims 68.9mpg and a VED-free 96g/km of CO2.
We're big fans of this great value motor - it's a mature offering that is roomy and great to drive, plus cabin quality is impressive.
Okay, so the 66PS 1.0-litre engine isn't the last word in performance with a 0-62mph time of almost 15 seconds, but it feels peppier than you'd expect and the Blue Drive model claims 65mpg economy. If you want a small car that handles longer trips as well as the urban grind, this should be at the top of your list.
While the Up might be a tad pricier than its Skoda and SEAT brethren there's a classy feel to the interior that's lacking in the others - and it looks sharper on the outside too. The smart looks and premium badge are attracting plenty of buyers, who soon discover that it's a fine drive with a well-judged ride and light, accurate steering.
There's a planted feel to the way it handles, so it copes well on faster roads and, although the 60PS engine needs working hard, it returns a claimed 63mpg, so your fuel bills will be as low as your insurance. Frankly, few city cars rivals are as good an all-rounder as this one.
As you probably know by now the Citigo is virtually identical to its SEAT cousin, so there's little to choose between them. Take your pick, then, but opting for the version with the Skoda badge will secure the same solidly built city car with decent driving manners and a characterful three-cylinder engine, and there's a good choice of trim levels to suit your budget.
Even base models are reasonably well-equipped though so you don't have to break the bank, although we'd aim for SE trim if possible. The low running costs will be easy on the pocket, and despite the compact dimensions there's a reasonably practical 238-litre boot.
While you can't order a new factory-built example, Chevrolet say there are still cars in dealer stock and it could be perfect if you're after something that looks a little different. The 68PS engine is a touch sluggish in this company - 0-60mph takes 15.5 seconds - and it's unrefined on the motorway but practicality is decent enough as is economy.
The Spark rides and handles with reasonable aplomb as well. Inside, a motorcycle-inspired instrument pack adds interest and in LS trim you'll benefit from a raft of convenience features that include remote central locking and air-conditioning. It's also fairly roomy, although boot space is tight with the rear seats in place.

Wilma Winterton LeSueur passed away in Mesa, Arizona, at the age of 92. She was born in Charleston, Utah to loving parents, Fred Winterton and Sheila Carlile Winterton. She had a happy childhood on their farm. At the age of 12 years, after the death of her father, the family moved to Mesa, Arizona. She spent her remaining years in Arizona, but kept her close family ties in Utah.
Wilma was preceded in death by her husband, Ned A. LeSueur; sister, Velda W. Carlson of Heber City, Utah; brother, Neil Winterton of West Jordan, Utah; and brother, Boyd Winterton of Salt Lake City, Utah.
She is survived by her sons, Charles (Dawn) and Ben (Louisa); daughter, Lisa McNutt (Anthony); 12 grandchildren; and 19 great-grandchildren. Her family included many loving nieces and nephews.
Wilma loved family reunions, trips and excursions with her family, dinners with her "Fun Bunch" and many travels with her friends. A special joy in her life was working with the Young Women of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They were so special to her. She kept a close bond with her school friends through the years.
Funeral Services will be held at 10:30am on Saturday, April 20, 2019 at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints – Elmwood Ward, 925 North Harris Drive, Mesa, Arizona 85203. A visitation for friends and family will be held prior to the funeral service, from 9:00 to 10:3oam.
my deepest sympathy to all the family I did not know her personally we lived across the street from this beautiful women we would see her outside tending to her home and just as happy as can be we live in the apt called copper point we have been her for over 7 years and we are sad to know she is gone but she lived her life to the fullest and now she lays in gods loving arms ! god bless to all and may she rest in peace !!!
We cannot begin to describe how much we enjoyed Wilma's grand enthusiasm and graceful spirit. She had more energy than a stick of dynamite and more love for her friends and family than anyone else we can recall. Although we are saddened by her passing, we were fortunate to have had her be such an important part of our lives. Thank you to the entire LeSueur family for sharing her with us. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. God bless.
I'm grateful to have known Aunt Wilma in my life. She was a wonderful aunt and neighbor. Once in a while, on Sunday she'd bring me home from church whenever Grandma wasn't feeling well. Whenever I'd stay with Grandma, she'd save the sports section of her newspaper for me. One time when the power went out @ Grandma's, she'd let us spend the night with her. R.I.P. Aunt Wilma. You're loved & missed by all.
My deepest sympathy and condolences to all the family that Wilma leaves behind. She was a fun friend and always had a big welcome hug when she would see us. Even though my husband Don Millett has been deceased for a year now, Wilma helped him a great deal when they worked together for the Mesa Historical Society at the Lehi Museum. She did a lot of good for the community. She loved the people in the Church. She was always a good friend of ours. I will miss her friendly greeting.
Wilma was my cousin and friend. I will miss our friendship and I learned much about a courageous spirit from her. I'll miss her greatly.
Dear Ben – My love is with you and your family. Your mom was wonderful. I know my mom was so grateful for her when my dad first brought her to Mesa to live. Your mom took her under her wing and lovingly introduced her to everyone and made her feel welcomed and needed. It has always been our Ray Family's privilege to have the LeSueurs as our friends.
As I've grown older, I've learned to regularly acknowledge the wonderful relationships I've enjoyed in my life. Sometimes those acknowledgments are bitter sweet. I was broken-hearted to receive word that my surrogate mother, Wilma LeSueur, had passed away. In my youth I spent so much time in the LeSueur home that Wilma had no choice but to help my parents raise me. For the record, I am not her only proxy child. The line is long.
Wilma's influence in my life cannot easily be explained. Suffice it to say I love her and have proudly introduced her as my 2nd mother for most of my life. She leaves a legacy that goes well beyond the LeSueur clan and has touched the lives of countless individuals like me.
I pray that Heavenly Father's love will help comfort Charles, Ben (my best brother), and Lisa at this time of loss.
