"All social media were stopped in Iraq my only escape is Whisper," one user said Friday amid reports Twitter, Facebook and YouTube were being blocked in Iraq.
Twitter said Friday it was aware of service interruptions reported by users in Iraq and is "investigating their reports."
Users in #Iraq are reporting issues accessing our service. We're investigating their reports and we hope service will be restored quickly.

"We are disturbed by reports of access issues in Iraq and are investigating," a Facebook spokesperson told Mashable.
"Limiting access to Internet services — essential for communication and commerce for millions of people — is a matter of concern for the global community."
A YouTube spokesperson also told Mashable: "We're seeing reports that some users are not able to access YouTube in Iraq."
"There is no technical issue on our side and we're looking into the situation."
One Whisper user shared that "all social media were stopped in Iraq."
When reached by Whisper, the 24-year-old translator living and working in Baghdad said, "People are just ready because for us this is normal life but the bad is turning worse." When asked if the U.S. should get involved in the conflict he said, "Of course if it gets worse at least using Airforce."
The Twitter account reportedly live tweeted it's advance into Mosul, Iraq on Tuesday.

Produced at the height of the debate over the Free Trade agreement between Canada and the US, this short video addresses cultural imperialism and its effect on individuals. "What happens to that most personal aspect of personality - the dream - when you lose your sense of yourself, when you are not reflected in the culture that surrounds you, when you're absent?" Steel and Tomczak employ the visual and aural conventions of television to parody the "hard sell" of commercials, resulting in the disorientation of the main character and his/her loss of gender certainty. She/he slides into the special void of "otherness."

Rev Eliezer Flecker vicar of Fishlake from 1888 until January 1911 22 years.
Born in Austria about 1838. He came to England after 1861 becoming a naturalised citizen. Ordained Priest 1867 and priest in 1868. He was formally curate of St. Margaret's, in the parish of St. George in the East, London. Curate 1869-71 at Horton and lodging at South Blyth Morpeth and subsequently held the curacies of Shincliffe, Pittingham and in 1881 Curate at St Cuthbert's , Durham and living at 147 Crossgate, Durham between 1875-86. He was a KCL (not sure what that stands for) of the Univesity of Durham, University mathematical scholar and Univerity mathematical prize man, 1872. Trained at the University of Durham BA 1873 and MA 1876.
Flecker can be considered an intellectual, biblical scholar. In 1882 he had published a book/pamphlet 'Variations of Versions'. This relates to a major revision of the new testament being undertaken nation wide within the church community in the early 1880's.
Then in 1883 he authored a more substantial work entitled 'Scripture Onomatology being Critical notes on the Septuagint and other versions'. This is an important scholarly work. Onomatology is the study of name formation and naming practices. Septuagint (meaning 70), as 70 Jewish scholars translated the old testament from Hebrew into Greek. Original copies are still for sale and reproductions in 1923 are available on Amazon. The publishers ''believe this work to be culturally important'. From this we can determine that he was an Old testament scholar, which may account for his approach to Christianity and his later behaviour.
On 8 December 1888 he was appointed Vicar of St Cuthbert's, Fishlake.
Rather late in life in 1891 he married Marion Harriet Barnes in Darlington.
1992 their daughter was born, Edith Gertrude but she died in1895.
1895 daughter Ellen Marion was born.
As an incumbent Rev Flecker could be awkward for example on 11 April 1896 at an Allyns charity committees meeting, "this morning the vicar recieved a communication from the charity commissioners informing him ""that he has no right to keep anything except the books and deeds"", in consequence of this he resigned as a trustee of the above charity"
This left questions for the committee and commissioners. Can the vicar legally resign his post as a trustee (the original deed anticipated the incumbent would be a trustee and preach a yearly charity sermon, at that time for 6s 8 p. Can they appoint a replacement? ( the answer was no). He was sent a form to sign but he refused, so technically remained a trustee. He also delayed handing over remaining charity monies.
In the Spring of 1901 Flecker organised the installment of a new church clock. He, with the help of his wife added quarterly clock chimes on 22nd May 1907.
On 30 th March 1904 at the meeting of school governors he threatened to exercise his right of veto. At the retirement of the old school master, Henry Brooks after a staggering 42 years of service. The governors were in a dilemma the school could not afford to appoint a master who was a graduate of Oxford or Cambridge. The foundation was about to become an Elementary school rather than a grammar school. Rev Flecker was clearly against this plan. The committee had no option but to request legal advice on this matter. The next head teacher was a women Miss Gould, unlikely to be Flecker's ideal choice. His old fashioned, stern and awkward matter set the scene for the next episode.
Then there was Monkey business...
1908 Flecker was taken to court for libel and slander by the village head mistress Winifred M Gould. At the West Riding Assize court hearing in Leeds where the Rev Flecker provided his own defence. He lost and was fined 40s.
This whole affair was triggered when Miss Gould began teaching Darwinian theory of evolution. The theory was misunderstood, derided and became a joke within the village community the teachings were simplified to 'man was descended from monkeys'. Rev Flecker being a strict old-fashioned traditionalist took great exception to this teaching in the village school and accused Miss Gould of imparting infidel teachings. Rev Flecker chaired a parish meeting at which various allegations were made all of these denied by Miss Gould. The County Council held an inquiry which completely exonerated her from charges of infidel teachings but concluded that her teaching was too advance for the children. Despite this outcome Flecker took to the pulpit to express his strong opinions, and wrote a number of letters to the Doncaster press criticising Miss Gould. It was this action which drove Miss Gould to court.
The impression we get is that Rev Flecker, to use a modern expression, was well past his sell by date, as the story goes that he was asked on three occasions to retire. In January 1911 he finally retired at the age of 72 and left the vicarage to live on Thorne Road, Doncaster at a house called St Cuthbert's. He and his family actually moved out several months earlier. Several years later his family moved to 18 Melville Road, Brighton.
My family connection is through my aunt Rose Downing who worked as a domestic at the vicarage before he retired, then as a living-in house maid in Brighton during 1914.
In December 1921 his wife Marion Flecker died.
Eliezer Flecker died 29 January 1923 leaving a not insignificant sum of £13267. 12s 9d probated by Rev Dr William Herman Flecker, a nephew.

Lt. Oakley Kelly served as an instructor at the Army's Rockwell Field in California from 1916 to 1919. While serving as an engineering test pilot at McCook Field, he co-conceived the original idea for the transcontinental flight with fellow pilot Lt. Muir S. Fairchild. Kelly was involved in modifying the T-2 for the flight. In 1923 in the T-2, Macready and Kelly became the first to cross the United States nonstop from coast to coast by airplane, a trip that took almost 27 hours.
Who was Oakley G. Kelly?
He helped originate the idea for the transcontinental flight.
With few navigational instruments, Kelly and his copilot, Lt. John Macready, relied on dead reckoning to cross the United States.
Kelly and Macready made the first nonstop transcontinental flight across the United States in May 1923.

Wyandotte health food store has more than just vitamins
By Alysa Zavala-Offman @Oh_Miss_Alysa

Total Health Foods
2948 Biddle Ave., Wyandotte 734-246-1208; thfdownriver.com Open: 9 a.m.-8 p.m. Monday-Saturday 11 a.m.-7 p.m. Sunday
Nestled in downtown Wyandotte, a couple doors down from a cozy diner and right next door to a long-standing menswear boutique, sits a shop that isn't quite like the other stores that line Biddle Avenue.
Total Health Foods offers a host of vitamins, supplements, healthy groceries, fresh organic produce, coffee, prepared foods, and services like massage and acupuncture. It's owned and operated by twins Annette and Janette Crossman, and their partners Kathleen Gunther and Alice Huang, and they curate its shelves with tremendous care.
We called up to the store on a random Monday morning and Annette Crossman answered our questions in a rapid fire manner that would suggest she has endless energy, listing the many organic products the store carries. They stock everything from tea to vitamin D, from locally produced raw honey and syrup to 100 percent essential oils, from beeswax candles to Himalayan salt crystal lamps, from pure incense to bulk herbs, from protein powder to vegan-friendly ice cream.
The shop's been located in Wyandotte for the past six years, and it's seen some expansion since it moved there from Southgate. Recently the partners purchased an empty building next to their shop and opened an adjoining market where they sell organic salads prepared in-shop, organic, grass-fed, gluten-free deli meats, organic produce, and bulk coffee. In the coming months they'll be adding bulk nuts and chocolate and prepared sandwiches to their offerings.
"We've really become a one-stop shop," Crossman says. "People can come in for their supplements and also do their grocery shopping."
Crossman is a fount of information on the products she carries and works to share it with her customers. Ask her, her co-owners, and her employees about a particular problem and they'll surely come up with a natural way to treat it. As a family-owned business, she says it's important to keep that rapport with those who frequent the store. It's important to her to take time with her guests.
It's also important to help them heal naturally.
"We're nutritionists," she says. "We're healing with food and products that come from food. Doctors have forgotten how to do that."
Patrons can also get acupuncture, massage, colonics, and other holistic therapies right inside the shop. Co-owner Dr. Alice Huang performs these natural treatments in one of the 10 rooms found near the back of the storefront.
While the store has seen some great success in Wyandotte — Crossman notes they pull customers in from all over the Downriver area and even Dearborn — she says they were hesitant to move the shop there.
"We all live in Wyandotte and we love it here, but it's a real meat-and-potatoes kind of town," she says. "We're helping to educate the community."
That education includes being a welcoming storefront where questions are encouraged and are met with a thoughtful answer. Whether you're looking for a pinch of garlic for a certain recipe or the right type of fish oil to take while breastfeeding, you'll surely get what you need at Total Health Foods.

AMSTERDAM — Royal Philips, a global leader in health technology, in partnership with Innovative Imaging Technologies (IIT), today announced an industry-first integrated tele-ultrasound solution based on Philips' Lumify portable ultrasound system and powered by IIT's Reacts collaborative platform.
This innovation connects clinicians around the globe in real time by turning a compatible smart device into an integrated tele-ultrasound solution, combining two-way audio-visual calls with live ultrasound streaming. This innovation in point-of-care ultrasound brings endless possibilities to its users both inside and outside hospital walls.
With this intuitive, easy-to-use integrated system, clinicians can begin their Reacts session with a face-to-face conversation on their Lumify ultrasound system. Users can switch to the front-facing camera on their smart device to show the position of the probe. They can then share the Lumify ultrasound stream, so both parties are simultaneously viewing the live ultrasound image and probe positioning, while discussing and interacting at the same time.
In addition to clinicians seeking virtual guidance, Philips Lumify with Reacts is a valuable tool for teaching institutions, medical students and residents, emergency medical service providers, disaster relief providers and hospitals with satellite clinics.
Philips is a leader in ultrasound solutions with a large global installed base and strong track record of industry-first innovations in areas such as 3D imaging of the heart, quantification tools driven by Anatomical Intelligence, and ultra-mobile, portable ultrasound solutions.

Following three years of study at the University of Derby 2003-6, emerging Derbyshire artist Valerie Dalling has a passion for exploring the outdoors with her camera, her focus being on the natural environment and the effects of light on colour, shape and texture.
While keeping an open mind on interpretation remains key to her practice, the list of inspirational artists behind Valerie's painterly abstracts and more representational photography is endless, from JMW Turner, Mark Rothko and Edward Hopper to Barbara Hepworth, Fay Godwin and John Blakemore. However, it's the landscape itself, which will always remain her biggest influence and where she feels most at home.
Valerie has been involved in numerous commissions, from arts in health and schools, as well as ongoing personal projects including the effects of coastal erosion and her latest Journeys through the Landscape, where she regularly explores the Peak District by car with her camera.
She enjoys working with the community, and in 2008 founded The Image Club, launching her first monthly photo forum. From beginners to those with photographic experience, she has a particular interest in how others visually respond to the world around them, encouraging discussions on image making, through the sharing of ideas and knowledge, in relaxed and informal environments. Valerie also offers coaching through visual and observational walks with the camera.

1974 HONDA CB360. OK, so the Jensen (see below) was a fun little scoot but the truth is, it just didn't get our motors runnin'. So, we rebuilt it. First thing we did was stretch the swing-arm 3.5″ to give this bike a lower look. We welded a new frame-loop to fit our favorite off the shelf NitroHeads seat. We shortened the OEM rear fender. Next, we threw on some Ohlins, black powder-coated the wheels, and wrapped them in some gnarly Heidenau Scouts. We minimized the exhaust by fabbing up a tidy little 2into1 and capped it off with a reverse cone shorty tucked up under the motor. A new aluminum triple and a headlight bucket with a built-in analog speedo keeps the cockpit sweet and simple so as not to compete with the old-school hotrod drag racer tank paint!!


Anyone who's ever been online should, by now, be aware of the hundreds of "work from home" internet based companies that are consistently advertised in various websites. One of the more popular is "doing surveys for cash." There are literally hundreds of online survey companies. Most of them are not legitimate ways to make money, although a few of them can earn you a few bucks. These companies target stay at home moms who want to make a few extra dollars while taking care of the kids, the unemployed who want to make a few extra dollars while watching dozens of daytime court TV programs, the elderly who are not afraid to use the computer and teenagers who think they know everything, but aren't yet wise to the ways of the world. And let's not forget the very greedy people of low intelligence who think they can get rich by answering a few simple questions to which a five year old can respond.
These people are prey to unscrupulous methods used by some online survey companies. These scams include the following: 1. The fee for joining. There are some sites out there who charge a "fee" to join. They promise you an opportunity to earn up to $100,000 a year, sitting home at your computer taking surveys.
The fee is usually less than $50. These sites are always a scam. If it was possible to earn $100,000 a year doing surveys online, the roads would be empty because no one would be going to work. Everyone would be home, in front of their computers, earning easy money. These sites prey on the greedy and/or lazy people of little intelligence. By the time they figure out that their "get rich quick" scheme isn't working, they're out $50. It's not a crime to be greedy, lazy or stupid. And, unfortunately, it isn't a crime to prey upon them in many cases. These sites are careful to add "disclaimers" stating that not everyone will earn this amount of money. They promise nothing, but include testimonials on their site from people with no last names who claim to be living the high life from the comfort of their homes.
They usually have photos of flashy cars and huge houses on their websites. People need to stay away from these sites like they would avoid the bubonic plague. Unfortunately, PT Barnum was right when he said that there was a sucker born every minute. Which is why these sites continue to exist. 2. The cell phone scam. In this popular scam, you'll be asked for your cell phone number to "confirm" your membership. Seconds later, you will receive a call on your cell phone. The call will end up costing you anywhere from $1.95 to $4.
95; depending on the company. These companies don't usually end up charging you too much because they figure you'll never miss a couple of bucks. But it adds up for them and that's how they make their money. They will then periodically send you text messages telling you you've won a prize and to claim it, you simply need to reply to the text. This will end up costing you more money. Do not give out your cell phone number to any website. 3. The Switcheroo. In this scam, you will be participating in a survey and then be directed to another website. They will ask you to show an "interest" in obtaining more information from one of their marketing partners.
You will continue to answer "no" and keep getting more offers; the survey will never end until you answer "yes." Now this scam might not cost you any money, but it will cost you time. Because when you say that you are interested in learning more about health insurance, expect to receive an average of 10 calls a week from telemarketers trying to sell you health insurance. And the insurance they are trying to sell you is a lot more than you can expect to pay than if you contact an insurance agent in your area. I know this for a fact as I've actually done price researching. And the telemarketing company will ask you for both your social security number as well as your bank information (so they can send in a deposit with your application). It's dangerous to give out such information to anyone over the phone; legitimate companies will send you any information you require by mail. 4. The phone bill scam.


You go on a cruise to get away, relax, and enjoy luxury service by the ship's staff. Moreover, you probably planned the trip for months in advance and spent a substantial amount of money on your cruise ticket and airplane transportation to the port of departure. The last thing you expect on your cruise vacation is to have it ruined by injury and be in need of a cruise ship personal injury attorney.
In some cases, a cruise line will not be legally responsible for a passenger's on-shore injury. Instead, the passenger may have a claim against the business or individual whose negligence caused the injury, even if the accident happened in another country.
which court can consider his or her claim.
Most major cruise ship companies select the state law that they want to determine their legal responsibilities and an accident victim's rights. Usually, a cruise line specifies the governing law in the fine print on the back of the cruise ticket.
In some cases, a court will reject the cruise line's choice of law, and apply the United States maritime or admiralty laws or the laws of another legal jurisdiction.
When a person is injured on shore, and the cruise line was not involved, the law of the state or country where the accident happened may determine an individual's rights.
To make a proper claim, the attorney must investigate all the relevant evidence and evaluate the circumstances surrounding the accident, including the place it occurred, the negligent acts that created the hazard, and the relationship of the careless individuals to the cruise line.
If you or a loved one was hurt while on a cruise, submit a simple, free consultation form now. We are ready to help today.
There is amazing follow-through on their end. I knew I was in good hands. They have tremendous integrity.

zanier and zanier: sex offender frenzy in Colonie, NY
Filed under: q.s. quickies — David Giacalone @ 11:43 pm
Ultimate NIMBY: keeping sex offenders out of their backyard.
— and out of their town, too!
Paula Mahan is Town Supervisor in Colonie, NY, the most populous municipality in the New York Capital Region (nestled between Albany and Schenectady). Supervisor Mahan has upped the sex offender NIMBY ante, and shown other politicians she won't be outdone pandering to the public's overblown fears of lurking strangers. Saying her Town has become a dumping ground for predators from other jurisdictions, she has proposed a new law that would, according to an article tonight in the Albany Times Union:
" . . bar adult Level 2 and 3 sex offenders whose victims were younger than 17 from living or staying within 1,500 feet of each other, or the same distance from [15 kinds of] places where children congregate."
…… …………….. 1500′ …………… …………………. 1500'……..
We've written often about the unnecessary, ineffective and un-American residency restrictions that communities have been placing on whole categories of sex offenders. See our recent post "don't let a bad idea go statewide" (Feb. 2, 2009), which responds to a new, high-level proposal to have statewide 1000-foot no-residence zones for sex offenders, around schools, parks and day care centers. The Colonie SOLD approach [sex offender low-density nuisance zoning] almost makes the laws in other communities look thoughtful — and is an interesting counterpoint to those who want to herd sex offenders into little cluster ghettos. It clearly shows that Justice William Kelly was correct in Peo. v. Oberlander: Our State laws by necessity must pre-empt the additional efforts of localities, with their confusing, conflicting, and ever-escalating restrictions on where sex offenders can live (discussed in this post from Feb. 2, 2009).
According to the TU:
"But before having the Colonie Town Board vote on the new regulations, Supervisor Paula Mahan wants to assemble a task force to examine the issue and work off of her proposal."
Stopping to think makes good sense. However, Mahan's task force sounds suspiciously like the tactics of Susan Savage, Legislative Chair in Schenectady County, who appointed a commission to study sex offender safety issues, but clearly wanted them to start with her own extreme position and then add more restrictions and regulations. (see our prior post) Perhaps someone will suggest to Ms.Mahan that she read the Oberlander decision and check out proposals and solutions on the State level, before she convinces even the most conservative judges in the State that sex offender residency cannot be left to local politicians.
p.s. On the 6 o'clock news this evening, a reporter for WTEN in Albany said they checked out the state SO registry and 5 sex offenders were apparently living at one of the low-rent motels on Central Ave in Colonie. Go here for information from the Colonie Police Department on how to find out where sex offenders live in that Town, using the State's sex offender search index.
Motel Update (Aug. 7, 2009): After considering various court cases declaring Sex Offender restrictions unlawful, Colonie gave up its original Low-Density Sex Offender proposal and came up with an even worse idea — restricting how many offenders can live at any one motel. See "Colonie limits how many sex offenders can live in motels" (Albany Times Union, Aug. 7, 2009; and see CBS6Albany). According to the TU, the law "will require hotels and motels that plan to house sex offenders to get a license" (costing $1500 or $3000) and then will use a point system to limit how many Sex Offenders may live at a particular motel (one to three points depending on the SO's corresponding risk level designation, 1, 2 or 3). Even the largest motels will be allowed only 9 points worth of offenders — e.g., three Level 3s or nine Level 1s, or combinations thereof. It is hard to image that such a law could withstand the kind of state-preemption analysis that recently voided Albany County's sex offender residency restrictions.
afterwords (Feb. 11, 2009): I woke up this morning thinking about ways enterprising persons could cash in on Colonie's floating 1500-feet sex offender residency ban. A landlord in an area that didn't have "its SO" yet, could hold an auction (or raffle off) an apartment or motel unit, or simply demand a much higher rent, knowing that both offenders and Social Service employees would pay a big premium to secure a residence in an attractive neighborhood (or, more likely, any neighborhood). Meanwhile, a sex offender leaving town might also earn a little travel money by selling off rights to (or information about) a prime location that was opening up.
…………………………… ……………………………. 1500′
update (Feb. 26, 2009): The town of East Rochester, NY, is only 1.3 miles long, but it has just passed a law banning sex offenders from living within 2,000 feet of schools, playgrounds and parks, recreation and community centers and day care facilities. (see this report from WHEC.com/Ch.6)
….. 2000'………… ……. 2000′ …
I find it fascinating that sex offenders are losing their rights faster than anyone else, simply to please a parent (or a politican looking for more votes) each time something happens, not thinking it out, and realizing that that type of action causes more molestings – By excessively punishing one part of society (for votes), we are creating many more crimes, i.e.: by forced registration of sex offenders, we are 'thinking' safe, when in reality 90% of sex offenses are family or friends of family that are on the inside when the door is supposedly locking out the bad guy, thus their guard is down, thus a flourish of molestings in the news. Keep it up with the registration and blaming a few guys for all societal problems and the molesting rates will skyrocket even more! (Or hadn't you noticed…) Register ALL felons or none, or face molestings by many around you. ALL OR NONE! Simply one example: Drug pushers have sex with hundreds of minors (in trade for sex) but they never tell because the kids want more drugs, and if caught they never register for selling drugs yet they have the highest rate of molesting minors!!! Another example: Within the state of the Columbine shootings there were 17 laws against guns in schools. Afterwards they passed seven more laws about no guns on school property. Did you notice that there have been 23 school shootings AFTER it was publicised so much by politicians wanting to pass more laws just to look good (but putting the 'shooting' idea in peoples heads instead). Molesters are the same way…pass more laws, keep it in the news…and you challenge them to act! It's the politicians LYING about statistics that also cause the problem saying that there is a 60% recidivism rate for sex offenders after being caught – LIE! According to the Department of Justice sex offender have THE lowest rate of recidivism. If they do commit a crime later it's mostly trying to eat or rob a place because they lost their job, family, house, and any means to make a living. If you are intelligent enough to read my typing, learn this – CRIMINALS DO NOT CARE ABOUT LAWS, POLITICIANS DO! – Pass 10,000,000 laws on not carrying a gun into a school and they will come in hoards with guns! Harass the sex offender more and I GUARANTEE THAT THE MOLESTING RATE WILL CONTINUE TO GO UP EXPONENTIALLY!

Adopt your host communities as new homes', Gov. Ugwuanyi tells corps members
Ministries and agencies of Enugu State have been reminded of the strict policy of the state government against rejection of corps members assigned to them for their one year service.
The Governor, Chief Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi stated this in a message to the closing ceremony of 2018 Batch A National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, orientation course, at NYSC permanent camp, Awgu Local Government Area.
The Governor, who was represented by his Special Assistant on Special Duties, Mr. Uwakwe Azikiwe, said that the government would deal with seriousness any reported case of rejection.
He appealed to corps members posted to the state to adopt their host communities as new homes.
The Governor said that the appeal was necessary in order to encourage the corps members to put in their best in service to their fatherland.
"I, therefore, urge you to pursue the realisation of this goal with fervour, patriotism and humility by regarding your host communities as your homes and join in contributing to their development.
"You must, therefore, accept your posting in good faith and regard it as a call to duty in the service of your fatherland," he said.
Governor Ugwuanyi urged them to utilise the knowledge acquired in the Skill Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development scheme for the benefit of the state of deployment and the nation by being job creators.
The Governor said that the state government would continue to create the enabling environment for them to discharge their responsibilities.
He said that the state allowances of corps members posted to state establishments would always be paid as and when due.
"I want to assure you that you are safe in any part of the state you are posted to," he said.
The governor commended the State Coordinator of the scheme for the efforts made to make the orientation camp habitable for corps members, despite some challenges.
He said that the State Government was not oblivious of the myriads of challenges at the orientation camp, adding that efforts would be made to address them in due time.
The State Coordinator, NYSC, Alhaji Ahmed Wada Ikaka who commended Enugu State Government for its prompt attention to the expansion of water project and restoration of electricity to the camp.
"The promise made by the governor to help in expanding the water project and to restore light to the camp and the adjoining communities is receiving prompt attention."
Alhaji Ikaka, however enjoined the corps members to exhibit a sense discipline and responsibility at their place of primary assignment, and impact positively in their host communities.
Alhaji Ikaka said that a total of 2,268 corps members were deployed to the state for the orientation course.
He said that the corps members adapted well in the course of the orientation and contributed to the successful administration of programmes in the camp.
The State Coordinator assured the corps members that their security was first charge by agencies of the State and Federal Government.
"You should be rest assured that the South East zone is very peaceful. Nevertheless, the Federal and State Governments have given instructions to law enforcement agencies to keep an eagle eye watch over you," he said.
"I must say that the support the scheme is enjoying from the state government is highly encouraging.
"We are optimistic that the government will soon redeem the promise of providing operational vehicles to the state secretariat, complete the new female hostel and renovate the dilapidated ones," he said.
The State Coordinator also appealed to the state government to assist in the completion of the perimeter fence of the camp.
Ikaka commended all the corporate organisations that sponsored events in the camp during the course.
"To all camp officials and collaborating agencies, I thank you for delivering on your various schedules which gave us the desired success," Ikaka said.
Corps members interviewed revealed their expectations and promised to abide by the tenets of the scheme.

Is there anything that says spring like a golden daffodil and I'm very lucky to have a bunch of them in the house this weekend!
Not just daffodils though, I've also got some gorgeous red tulips too!
Outside in the garden there are signs of spring too with my lovely yellow wallflowers in bloom.
I have to admit though it wasn't very springlike here this morning as it was wild, windy and wet but the afternoon has picked up nicely with even the glimpse of a blue sky.
January has gone by in a flash, hasn't it, one month of pre-spring down and one more to go until 'real' spring!
Thank you for all your lovely comments on the 'Valentine Girls', they were listed in my Etsy shop on Wednesday evening and sold out in three minutes. Unfortunately listing them altogether at a certain time means that some of the bunnies ended up in more than one cart at the same time and it was the person who pushed the PayPal button first that got the rabbit, leaving some very disappointed people wondering where the rabbit in their cart has disappeared to. I think that maybe next time I will list them over a period of 24 hours to see if that helps.
I have started on a new set of bunnies for February, no theme this month just a few ideas that need to come out my head!!
I'll leave with a photo of the sky above my house taken just a few minutes ago!
Thanks as always for dropping in to see me, wishing you all a lovely pre-springy weekend.
So my Valentine girls are all completed, this is Ruby…the colour of Valentine's Day!
This little lady is Jaime, named after the French for 'I love'….j'aime.
I'll be listing Ruby, Jaime and the other six girls in my Etsy tomorrow evening (Wednesday 29th January) at 10.00pm. Bunny info. including price etc. can be found here.
So that's me done with hearts for a little while, I'm all hearted out!! I do like hearts though if I'm doodling it's always hearts that I doodle, hearts and flowers. A little strange though as I'm not in the least bit romantic!!!
Another grey and dismal day here I'm afraid but spring IS on the way!
because this is what the weather is like here today!!!!
So I took my camera for a walk around the house and into the garden and greenhouse to find some colour to share with you!
Even my new Valentine girl is a colourful one, normally I personally prefer the earthy coloured bunnies but that bright pop of yellow is just the ticket for this dull and grey day! Her name is Carys by the way, from the Welsh for love.
Just before I go I would like to thank the lovely Susana from the blog La Ventura Azul for awarding me the 'One Lovely Blog Award', thanks Susana, you're very kind!
So it's a bit of a dismal day here I'm afraid, I hope it's brighter where you are, thanks for visiting!
Today's post is about finished WIP's but I thought I would include this rosebud too, as it's a little WIP in itself. Imagine….a rosebud in my garden in January!
Why I'm really posting is to let you see my finished Lacy Baktus, I have at last found and finished a project using my Quince & Co organic linen Sparrow yarn. I had a few false starts, knitting things I really didn't like but I eventually found a pattern I liked. The yarn itself is delicious so I wanted to knit something that I really wanted to wear.
You can find my Ravelry notes on it here.
Another little finished project is Esme, my third little Valentine girl. Crocheted in a pale pink alpaca/wool mix yarn and wearing a soft blue mohair cardigan, she's a delicate little soul!
Esme means 'loved', quite appropriate name for a Valentine bunny, don't you think!
While I'm on the subject of WIP's, here's another one…….spring!! This is the sky here this evening at 4.20 pm, its all shaping up nicely!!!
Lemon Drizzle in the cake tin!
And a new Valentine girl completed……… meet Teddie!
Have a wonderful weekend everyone, thanks for visiting this week and for all your much appreciated comments!

New Rolls Royce convertible to be called 'Dawn'; launch in Q1 2016 - IAB Report
14/05/2015 - 01:29 | Rolls Royce Dawn, Rolls-Royce | Aravind Jayachandran
Will be based on the Wraith coupe.
Rolls Royce has announced the name of its next product, which is a convertible based on the 2-door Wraith coupè. It will be called the Rolls Royce Dawn, paying homage to the early 1950's open top Rolls Royce Silver Dawn.
Judging by recent spyshots, the open top Dawn will mirror the styling of the Wraith coupè.
Judging by recent spyshots, the open top Dawn will mirror the styling of the Wraith coupè, but will lose the fixed top in favor of soft cloth foldable top, akin to the bigger Phantom Drophead. The wheelbase is also expected to be the same, as well as the identical 2-door layout.
It will be powered by the same twin-turbo 6.6-liter V12 engine powering the Ghost and Wraith. Although power figures haven't been confirmed, it could be identical to the Wraith's 624 hp power output. Expect Rolls Royce to dial down the dynamic driving focus in the Wraith for a more relaxed approach.
The Dawn will lose the fixed top in favor of soft cloth foldable top, akin to the bigger Phantom Drophead.

The company has confirmed that it will launch in Q1 2016, and have already begun accepting bookings. They have also privately unveiled the Dawn to Rolls Royce's global dealers in Los Angeles, California.

Jordan's Mills
Click on the pictures for full-size images in a separate window
Wadi Azraq (near Fuheis)
Wadi Azraq flows from the Salt road, below Hummar (where it is called Wadi Hummar), to join Wadi Shuayb a short distance below the Salt WTP. Today the spring no longer flows. Instead, a pumping station ensures that the water reaches the thirsty citizens of Amman.
All that remains of the aqueduct is hidden behind a small tree, but the canal that brought it water can be seen along the slope.
Shuayb Mill Complex (upper)
Most of the mills around Jordan are individual buildings, dotted down the valleys, as with the Shuayb. Just below the confluence with Wadi Azraq, however, beside a new pumping station, is a mill complex that was almost a village. Behind the pumping station is a tall aqueduct, with the wheel-house below. Today the last wheel is in two pieces beside the building. The southern portion of the mill seems newer, with more clean-cut stones. This has two drop-holes, leading to a milling building that is almost inaccessible without walking through the stream. The roof has collapsed so the location of the millstones is hidden. Between the two sections are the remains of other mill buildings. These could have been destroyed by the large boulders that are scattered around, possibly dislodged by an earthquake that the mill never survived.
Shuayb Mill Complex (lower)
The Wadi Shuayb bridge is located just below the confluence of the Fuheis/Mahis wadis (Wadi Hudeidun) with the Shuayb. On the triangle formed where the streams meet is another mill, possibly with a second aqueduct and drop to the Hudeidun side. The area is given over to citrus orchards, but nestled among the oranges and lemons are two other mills. One, on the west side, is almost invisible among the fruit trees, but the other is clearly seen from the Mahis road (in the picture) or the Shuayb road.
Wadi Shuayb valley
As you descend the Wadi Shuayb from Salt, the old Ottoman capital, you pass a series of mill aqueducts. Their condition varies, and there is no sign of the mill buildings themselves. It is quite likely that the course of the stream was diverted to allow for construction of the road. As it is, in almost all cases the stream runs directly beneath these mills. The first is directly across the road from the Wadi Shuayb spring that issues from a pipe in the wall, about 200m below the bus station. The others are spaced about 0.5km apart, downstream.
Wadi Seir Mills
Wadi Seir also has a perennial spring, though as usual its location is marked by a contemporary pumping station. The most complete mill building I have found is located in the wadi about 300m below the pumping station. Other buildings are dotted down the valley, one is in plain sight beside the bridge that carries the road to the north side of the wadi.
Rumman Mills
For me the Rumman mills, though the least-visited, are special. They were the first I had seen that were in good enough condition to observe both the drop and the outlet. The water descends about 8-10 meters, and then is funnelled through a horizontal hole into the mill house. I have not yet found evidence of a water wheel of any kind, but at Rumman recently I found one of the millstones. Crevices in the walls of the building indicate where wooden structures existed, that provided a frame for the mechanism that transfered the water power to the grinding stone. Two buildings have been observed so far, below the village of Rumman, in Wadi Rumeimin, just a short distance above the level of the King Talal Reservoir. The first is a one-hole mill, but the mill house is open at the front, allowing the internal structure to be seen. The other, about 200m 'downstream' is a 2-hole mill. It is less complete, possibly having suffered from hillside erosion.
Seil Hisban
Walking around the area between Madaba and Jerash it is exciting to come across a new find. Seil Hisban, another perennial stream whose spring is about 100m from this mill, is not a narrow, 'youthful' valley like Wadi Seir or Wadi Shuayb. As the picture shows, the valley is quite wide and flat at this point, and the mill would actually be quite close to where at least some of the grain was grown.

Spanish government strengthens anti-migrant border fence
By Vicky Short
The right wing Popular Party (PP) government of Spain has taken the decision to strengthen the border fence separating its enclave port city of Melilla from the rest of Morocco in North Africa. It will be covered with an anti-climbing mesh and topped with a new concertina razor-wire, designed to rip and grab onto clothing and flesh.
The original border fence was erected around Melilla and Ceuta—the other Spanish enclave in Morocco—in 2005 by the Socialist Party (PSOE) government. It consisted of 11 kilometres (6.8 miles) of parallel three-meter (10 feet) high fences with razor-wire, regular watch posts, CCTV, spotlights, noise and movement sensors, and a road running between them for police patrols. Over the years it has been heightened to six meters and satellites and unmanned drones introduced.
A year after its construction PSOE Prime Minister José Luis Zapatero promised to remove the razor-wire after scores of people suffered horrific injuries trying to climb over the fence. It was finally removed in 2007.
The PP government has decided to reinstate the razor-wire, regardless of the consequences. The stated intention is only to install it in vulnerable areas, but the government delegate in Melilla, Abdelmalik El Barkani, has made clear that if the police decide it is necessary, it will be installed along the whole 11 kilometres. El Barkani cynically stated, "I do not like that the concertina is there, I do not like that the fence is there, I do not like to have problems with illegal immigration, but what is clear is that there is a mandate that must be met by the Forces of State Security, and that is that the SSA [Sub-Saharan Africans] must fail to get in."
Further horrific methods are being prepared. As the fence gets more dangerous to climb, migrant workers are attempting to reach Ceuta and Melilla by swimming along the coast. In order to prevent this, the Spanish government is planning to build a floating dock and fence that extends 200 meters into the sea with an underwater net to catch anyone attempting to dive under.
The reinstatement of the razor wire is being justified by the government on the basis that the number of people attempting to cross the border has doubled to 3,000 between January and mid-September this year, compared to 1,610 during the same period last year. A Moroccan NGO, the Rif Association of Human Rights, reports that about 40 migrants have been killed over the past two years.
The rise in migrant workers attempting the deadly crossing into Ceuta and Melilla is the result of the terrible conditions being created by the imperialist countries through intensification of predatory wars, repression, ethnic cleansing, civil wars, hunger and poverty. There has been a marked increase in the number of migrants from Syria, Egypt, Tunisia and Mali.
More and more people are forced to risk their lives in a struggle to survive. Hundreds have died of thirst in the desert that surrounds the enclaves, drowning in the sea after their overcrowded, rickety boats capsize and being shot at by border guards. Most of those who successfully cross the borders are then apprehended, put in overcrowded detention centres and eventually deported back to their places of origin where they are often detained again and tortured.
Melilla and Ceuta are the European Union's only land borders with Africa. It relies on the Spanish government to ensure it patrols effectively to prevent people from immigrating to the rest of Europe. For this purpose Spain works in close collaboration with the European Agency for the Management of Operational Cooperation at the External Borders of the Member States of the European Union (Frontex), which was established in 2004.
Frontex held a conference this October in Warsaw that gathered 200 people and speakers from all over the world. In addition to the EU member nations, speakers came from countries as diverse as Israel, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Canada, United States, United Kingdom, Georgia and Rwanda. The conference also included a Biometric Examiner from the Police Forensics of Interpol.
The Frontex conference is just one example of how immigration controls and the search for ever-more sophisticated and repressive measures to enforce them have become a global business, as well as a global operation. The main purpose is to divide the working class at a time when the internationalisation of their struggles becomes an essential question.

All clients that call EZ Tax Relief have saved thousands. Don't let the IRS bully you in paying what they think is correct. The clients below fought and won, the list below shows just a small portion of the very satisfied EZ Tax Relief.
The attorney took her time and talked to us, she took our documents and told us that she would take care of the irs problem. Monique called us every month and told us where are case was. When we got a call to come into the office to sign documents we could not have imagined that the settlement was so good. We recommend EZ Tax to all of our friends.
I met with the attorney, we discussed my financial situation and went over some questions to see if I qualified for the program. After about 6 months, we were told that our offer had been approved for $12. It was unbelievable, so grateful for all the help.
My wife and I went to two different tax resolution companies, the only thing they offered us was an installment agreement. EZ Tax attorney took the time to listen to our problem and said that she would do whatever she can to help us. It seemed that the case took a long time, but at the end we are very happy.
Wow, I am speechless, when I got the letter from the IRS I could not believe what I saw. $80 was not even in my wildest dreams. Thanks EZ Tax Relief.
Not all cases are the same, however EZ Tax Relief can get you the very best resolution for your IRS problems.


The interaction of two copper(II) complexes, namely [Cu(L1)Cl2]2 (1) and [Cu(L2)Cl2]2 (2), where L1 = 1-amidino-O-methylurea and L2 = N-(benzyl)-amidino-O-methylurea, with DNA has been thoroughly investigated using different characterization techniques, including electronic absorption spectroscopy, viscosity measurements, fluorescence spectroscopy, circular dichroism spectroscopy, thermal denaturation, stoichiometric determination, gel electrophoresis and atomic-force microscopy. The coordination compounds exhibit DNA binding potential by non-intercalation and DNA-cleaving ability through the oxidative pathway. Indeed, both complexes display antibacterial properties (against three bacteria involved in human-food poisoning, i.e. Salmonella, E. coli and Campylobacter). Furthermore, their cytotoxicity has been tested against three cancer cell lines, which are the small cell lung carcinoma (NCI-H187), the oral cavity carcinoma (KB) and the breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7) and it was revealed that they are more cytotoxic than cisplatin against the NCI-H187 cancer cell line.
