Slovakia Discovery Guide
Nestled along the northern European plains, sits the country of Slovakia. The country has once been a part of the country of Czechoslovakia. After it gained its independence from the Czech Republic in 1993, the economy of the country suffered tremendously. Slowly, Slovakia has been able to pick up the pieces with the introduction of modern industries in the country, providing employment for the locals. Farming remains to be the primary means of income for the locals in the country. In fact, 20% of the land in Slovakia is still family-owned farms that produce a wide variety of crops such as potatoes, sugar beets and grains.
Slovakia is a country that is characterized by a large flat terrain with rolling farmlands. This is only broken by the Sudeten and Carpathian Mountain ranges in some parts of the country. The best time to experience the beauty of the landscape of the country of Slovakia is during the summer months, making it a prime tourist attraction for travelers visiting the country of Slovakia wanting to enjoy the great outdoors and marvel at the beauty of nature. During the winter months, the mountains attract adrenaline junkies as the snow covered peaks make a perfect place to enjoy a variety of extreme winter sport activities.
The mighty Danube River flows through here in the country in Slovakia and serves as a source for hydroelectricity which powers much of the country. It also serves as a strategic waterway, especially for transporting cargo and other commodities.
If you are planning to visit the country of Slovakia, the best place to start your journey is in the capital city of Bratislava. The city was founded back during the 10th century and for a time served as the capital city of nearby Hungary from 1536 to 1784. This rich history provides travelers visiting the country of Slovakia a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage in the country. One of the top tourist attractions here is the Parliament Building which was once the home of the local archbishop.
The Slovakians are very proud of their culture. All year round, travelers visiting the country of Slovakia can catch a number of different folk festivals where the locals come out and wear their regional costumes while they enjoy traditional songs and dances. These festivals are also a great chance for you to catch a puppet show, which continues to be popular among the locals. After all, the country had been considered the birthplace of European puppetry.
Another prime tourist attraction in the country of Slovakia is the valley between the Biele Karpaty Mountains. The valley is home to the quaint village of Trencianske Bohuslavice where a magnificent baroque chapel still stands. The scenery viewed from this valley makes this a remarkable place to enjoy cycling, hiking and other outdoor activities.
Recently, Slovakia has tapped into their natural resources to provide more tourist destinations to entice more travelers to visit the country. One of these is the natural bath springs found all over the country, particularly in the village of Liptovsky Ján. The healing properties of the mineral waters found in these baths springs have been responsible for the growing thermal tourism industry to blossom in the country.

Always Pressing Forward
Theology 10 Jun 2012 1 Comment
No one will travel so badly as not daily to make some degree of progress. This, therefore, let us never cease to do, that we may daily advance in the way of the Lord; and let us not despair because of the slender measure of success. How little soever the success may correspond with our wish, our labour is not lost when to-day is better than yesterday, provided with true singleness of mind we keep our aim, and aspire to the goal, not speaking flattering things to ourselves, nor indulging our vices, but making it our constant endeavour to become better, until we attain to goodness itself. If during the whole course of our life we seek and follow, we shall at length attain it, when relieved from the infirmity of flesh we are admitted to full fellowship with God. — John Calvin
3 Dead, 3 Wounded, in a Fight that Started over a Woman…
Modern Culture, Total Depravity 10 Jun 2012
Three people, including two former Auburn University football players, were killed late Saturday and three others were wounded in a shooting in an off-campus apartment complex in Auburn, Alabama, police said Sunday. A manhunt was under way in Montgomery, about 55 miles west of Auburn, for a suspect in the case, said Auburn Police Chief Tommy Dawson. He identified the suspect as Desmonte Leonard, 22, of Montgomery.
CNN may be unwilling to describe the suspected motive but other news outlets aren't. According to one, the dispute arose over a woman…
Authorities believe gunfire erupted during a fight at a party, he said. Leonard was thought to have fled the scene in a white Chevrolet Caprice. Police later found the car abandoned in an adjacent county, Dawson said, and it was being processed. Arrest warrants have been issued for Leonard on three counts of capital murder, Dawson said. He is considered armed and dangerous, and U.S. Marshals were assisting in the search for him, along with Montgomery police. "It's sickening that these young lives were cut short," Dawson said, "and also the shooter is such a young man. As a society, we've got to learn the value of life again."
What's equally sickening is that any thug who wants a gun can get one with ease. Such needless death-lust. Yet we're still not sick enough of it to do anything about it.

Erhard Gerstenberger: The Psalms Reconsidered
Bible 10 Jun 2012
Erhard has a fine essay in Bible and Interpretation on the Psalms students of the Hebrew Bible will enjoy. Among other things he opines
Today's discussion and research of Psalms and Psalter, it seems to me, is too much determined by paradigms of literary theory, redactional practice, and intellectual theological construction (cf. e. g., the otherwise very important work of Gerald H. Wilson, Erich Zenger, J. Clinton McCann, etc.). The "Life-situations" [Sitz im Leben] of diverse genres of Psalms – a central point of Psalm exegesis for Hermann Gunkel and Sigmund Mowinckel – has to be taken into account seriously if we want to understand their meaning. Words transmitted to writing seem to have been stripped of their contextual settings; it is true. Reciters and listeners of old, however, still knew the immediate ritual/ceremonial dressings of given psalms, and they would use the cherished texts accordingly. By the way, many a modern reader will intuitively feel the situation of a supplicant on his sick-bed (cf. Ps 6:7 [NRSV 6]; Isa 38:1-3) and the jubilant cries of people saved from death (cf. Ps 22: 23-27 [NRSV 22-26]; 30:12-13 [NRSV 11-12] or reaping of a rich harvest (cf. Ps 65:12-14 [NRSV 11-13]). Basic human conditions of body, mind, and soul, both in regard to individuals and their intimate groups and to larger communities, bring forth ritual performances with their pertaining prayers and songs. I will try to sketch three cases in question and point out appropriate psalmic evidence.
Have fun with it!
Antonio Lombatti: The Shroud Debunked
Modern Culture 10 Jun 2012 1 Comment
Matthew Kalman has a brilliant report in the Daily Mail which features the complete debunking of the Shroud of Turin lunacy. I hope this is the final nail in the Shroud-ers coffin. It most decidedly should be.
It has been venerated for centuries as the burial shroud of Jesus and has attracted thousands to the chapel where it lies. But an eminent Church historian says the Turin Shroud is probably a medieval fake and just one of 40 similar cloths circulating in Europe until the 18th century. In a new study, Antonio Lombatti, a Church historian at the Universita Popolare in Parma, Italy, says the shroud appears to have originated in Turkey some 1,300 years after the crucifixion of Jesus in the Holy Land.
In a research paper to be published later this month in the scholarly journal 'Studi Medievali,' Lombatti says the shroud was most likely given to a French knight as a memento from a crusade to Smyrna, Turkey in the 14th century.
'The Turin Shroud is only one of the many burial cloths which were circulating in the Christian world during the Middle Ages. There were at least 40,' said Lombatti, citing research by the 19th-century French historian Francois de Mely, who had studied surviving medieval documents. 'Most of them were destroyed during the French revolution. Some had images, others had blood-like stains, and others were completely white,' Lombatti told the Daily Mail. Based on unpublished manuscripts at the National Library of Paris, Lombatti reveals that the shroud was obtained by the French knight, Geoffroy de Charny, during a crusade to liberate the Turkish city of Smyrna from Muslim rule in 1346.

Walmart Really Does Have Everything, Including a Meth Lab
Modern Culture, Total Depravity 10 Jun 2012 1 Comment
This will give those meth runners and makers and users yet another reason to visit the local Walmart…
A Wal-Mart Stores Inc. store in south St. Louis County is opened again after it was evacuated when police found a "one-pot" methamphetamine bottle inside a woman's purse. St. Louis County police say the woman was arrested for shoplifting Thursday night. Security officers then allegedly discovered a 20-ounce bottle of cooking meth in her purse. The store was evacuated because of the potential for an explosion or dangerous fumes from the bottle. No one was injured. The woman and a male companion were arrested. Their names have not been released.
I wonder how many times folk have been walking around in Walmart with just such things in their bags. I wonder how often they buy their ingredients and step into the bathroom to mix them and then proceed to the parking lot to commence sales… And I wonder that these meth heads care so little for their own safety and the safety of the public that they don't mind doing such stupid things…
Poor Walmart. Bad publicity again. Poor America. Drug hell.

Join Our Discussion About the Foreclosure Crisis
by Mike Webb
Dec. 9, 2011, 2:43 p.m. EST
On Tuesday, December 13, ProPublica will co-sponsor a Tenement Talk about the foreclosure crisis. The event will feature experts who have written about how we got into this mess and they'll share their thoughts on what we can do to get out of it.
ProPublica's Paul Kiel will be one of the featured panelists. For the past year, he's been reporting on why the Obama Administration's foreclosure and loan modification programs haven'tworked and why the latest proposal to help homeowners is flawed. Also joining the discussion will be the former special inspector general of the Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP), Neil Barofsky, to describe the government's response to the housing crisis and why they've been reluctant to do more. American Banker's Kate Berry will share the stage and discuss her reporting on the bank's point of view and why the benefits of helping homeowners may be mininal for the mortgage industry. Moderating the event will be New York World editor Alyssa Katz, who wrote the book "Our Lot: How Real Estate Came to Own Us."
The conversation will take place at 6:30pm Eastern at the Tenement Museum located at 103 Orchard Street (corner of Delancey) in New York City. The event is free and open to the public, but seating is limited and available on a first come, first served basis. The participants will take questions from the audience, so join us or send them in via Twitter (hashtag #PTTalks) or email ([email protected]). The talk will be streamed live on UStream. See more details here.
Mike Webb was the vice president/communications of ProPublica. He is a veteran communications specialist with experience in public relations, marketing, sales and campaign work at media companies, think tanks, political organizations and in the entertainment business.

William Phileppus Ragsdale ( – November 24, 1877) was a lawyer, newspaper editor, and translator of the Kingdom of Hawaii and popular figure known for being luna or superintendent of the Kalaupapa Leprosy Settlement. Elements of his life story influenced Mark Twain's 1889 novel A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court.

Early life and career
Ragsdale was born in , a hapa-haole or half-Hawaiian, half-Caucasian. His father Alexander Ragsdale was an American plantation owner originally from Virginia who had settled in Hawaii in 1817 and married Kahawaluokalani (Kahawalu), a minor Hawaiian chiefess and a descendant of King Kekaulike of Maui and his wife Kahawalu. His siblings were Edward Alexander Ragsdale (1839–1863) and Annie Green Ragsdale Dowsett (1842–1891), who married James Isaac Dowsett. He was considered a distant relative or cousin of Queen Emma.

From 1861 to 1865, Ragsdale served as the first editor of Ka Nupepa Kūʻokoʻa ("The Independent Newspaper") for publisher Henry Martyn Whitney. After four years, he was replaced by missionary Luther Halsey Gulick, Sr. in 1865. His Roman Catholic faith was a probable reason why he was replaced, since the Hawaiian Congregationalists wished to have a newspaper more favorable to them. In 1866, Ragsdale was working as a government translator and interpreter for the Hawaiian legislature. American writer Mark Twain visited the island kingdom at the time and described the legislative session and Ragsdale:

Bill Ragsdale stands up in front of the Speaker's pulpit, with his back against it, and fastens his quick black eye upon any member who rises, lets him say half a dozen sentences and then interrupts him, and repeats his speech in a loud, rapid voice, turning every Kanaka speech into English and every English speech into Kanaka, with a readiness and felicity of language that are remarkable – waits for another installment of talk from the member's lips and goes on with his translation as before. His tongue is in constant motion from 11 in the forenoon till four in the afternoon, and why it does not wear out is the affair of Providence, not mine. There is a spice of deviltry in the fellow's nature and it crops out every now and then when he is translating the speeches of slow old Kanakas who do not understand English. Without departing from the spirit of a member's remarks, he will, with apparent unconsciousness, drop in a little voluntary contribution occasionally in the way of a word or two that will make the gravest speech utterly ridiculous. He is careful not to venture upon such experiments, though, with the remarks of persons able to detect him. I noticed when he translated for His Excellency David Kalakaua, who is an accomplished English scholar, he asked, "Did I translate you correctly, your Excellency?" or something to that effect. The rascal.

Superintendent of Kalaupapa

In early 1873, Ragsdale was practicing law in Hilo when he contracted leprosy. Working late one night, he accidentally knocked over an oil lamp and discovered that he felt no pain in his hands when he caught it before it fell. After the realization, Ragsdale contemplated his choices for a few months, then surrendered himself to the local authority in hope that others would be encouraged to do the same. He was sent to Kalihi Hospital in Honolulu where he was officially diagnosed with leprosy, and sent to the leper settlement at Kalaupapa, on the island of Molokai. Ragsdale arrived at Kalaupapa on June 29, 1873.

Upon his arrival in the settlement, he worked as a translator and wrote letters to the government in Honolulu and the Board of Health complaining about the negligence of the incumbent luna (superintendent) Jonatana Napela in enforcing the Board's demands for rigid segregation of lepers and non-lepers in the settlement. He served as a mediator between the Board and the inmates, and assisted in improving the discipline and economy of the settlement. These actions gained him favors back in Honolulu. In October, 1873, Napela was discharged by the Board, and Ragsdale was promoted to the position of luna of Kalaupapa. He was referred to as "Governor", and later posthumous accounts called him "King of the Lepers".

Ragsdale's restrictive policies and the limited resources provided by the Hawaiian government angered many of the patients. Peter Kaʻeo, a high-born chief and patient of the settlement, wrote that "since [Ragsdale] has been Luna he has made more Enemyes and less friends". In Honolulu, the government and press were much more supportive of his policies, with The Pacific Commercial Advertiser stating that "Ragsdale guides and regulates his little principality in most matters of government, quite as absolutely and undisputedly as the captain of a ship whose word is law". Except for a few confrontations with disgruntled patients, Ragsdale's tenure as luna remained relatively peaceful until his final illness.

Death and legacy
In the fall of 1877, Ragsdale's condition worsened, and he died on November 24, 1877. Ragsdale was buried in an unmarked grave in the cemetery grounds of Saint Philomena Catholic Church, founded by Father Damien. He was mourned at home and abroad, with newspapers in Hawaii and the United States reporting on his death. Even The New York Times ran a story on the death of the "King of the Lepers". His obituary in Honoulu's The Pacific Commercial Advertiser noted:

Father Damien (who had been at Kalaupapa as long as Ragsdale) was chosen briefly to replace him, but his unpopularity with the Protestant patients led to his being replaced by William Keolaloa Sumner, who had served as an assistant under Ragsdale.

His friend Mark Twain later wrote a draft to fictional story based on Ragsdale's life which was never finished, although elements of the story were incorporated into Twain's A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court.

y = quantile( 0.2, 4.0 );
// returns ~0.056
```

If provided a probability `p` outside the interval `[0,1]`, the function returns `NaN`.

```javascript
var y = quantile( 1.9, 1.0 );
// returns NaN

y = quantile( -0.1, 1.0 );
// returns NaN
```

If provided `NaN` as any argument, the function returns `NaN`.

```javascript
var y = quantile( NaN, 1.0 );
// returns NaN

y = quantile( 0.0, NaN );
// returns NaN
```

If provided `lambda < 0`, the function returns `NaN`.

```javascript
var y = quantile( 0.4, -1.0 );

India approves setting up of first medical devices technology park
New Delhi–Giving a "Make in India" a push in the field of medical technology, the Union Cabinet here on Wednesday approved "mini Ratna" public sector undertaking HLL Lifecare to sub-lease its land for setting up the country's first medical devices manufacturing park, an official statement said.
"The Union Cabinet chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi has given its approval to HLL Lifecare to sub-lease 330.10 acres of land at Chengalpattu, located in the outskirts of Chennai, to set up a medical devices manufacturing park (Medipark) through a special purpose vehicle," the statement said.
Indian Prime Minister Mody
The shareholding of HLL in the project, which is expected, would be above 50 per cent, it added.
The Medipark project will be the first manufacturing cluster in the medical technology sector in the country, envisaged to boost the local manufacturing of hi-end products at a significantly lower cost, resulting in affordable healthcare delivery, particular in diagnostic services to a large section of people.
"Medipark will be developed in phases, spread over seven years for completion. In the first phase, physical infrastructure will be developed and plots will be leased from third year onwards. Knowledge management centre will be developed in the second phase," it said.
"It would contribute to the development of medical devices and technology sector and allied disciplines in the country, which is still at a nascent stage besides generating employment and give a boost to the government's 'Make in India' campaign," it added.
HLL will sublease the land to investors, through a transparent bidding process to investors desirous to set up manufacturing units for medical equipment and devices.

Mountaineering to Maps: Rebecca Moore's fight for the planet
The She Word
Alicia Cormie
Contributor, The Keyword
Rebecca Moore lives in the Santa Cruz Mountains, a series of peaks in Northern California where the ocean and redwoods collide. Living there, amongst the trees, she turned to mapping as a way to protect the planet.
When a logging project was proposed in her community, she used Google Earth to show everyone how the plans would affect their daily lives and, more importantly, endanger the precious ecosystem surrounding them. The logging plan was denied and that redwood forest is now being considered for permanent protection as public open space.
"In a way, technology and digital mapping can give nature a voice — it puts it on the map and helps it defend itself," Rebecca says. "Seeing facts on a map quickly squashes debate and dispels misconceptions."
For the past 15 years, Rebecca has led the Google Earth, Earth Engine and Outreach team. Their goal is to create a digital replica of the planet and put it into hands everywhere. They've mapped everything from endangered animal populations and fisheries to CO2 emissions and wildfires. We talked with Rebecca about why she thinks maps are so powerful and how she finds it in herself to tackle hard problems, like climate change.
What does your team at Google do?
Our goal is to organize all of the planet's information and make it accessible, understandable and actionable. For example, Google Earth Engine helps us take the flood of environmental information from things like satellite imagery and weather data, and turn it into something that anyone can understand and take action on. And our Google Earth Outreach program helps nonprofits, communities and indigenous peoples around the world use our mapping tools to solve whatever problems they're tackling.
What makes maps so powerful when it comes to protecting the planet?
The world is changing, but it's hard to visualize it. If we can create a dynamic, digital replica of the real world and extract meaningful insights from it, then we can put it into the hands of people who can help protect and conserve the planet for generations to come.
For example, we've seen how putting this information into the hands of indigenous communities can help protect land that's under threat. We worked with the Suruí, a tribe in the Amazon, to use Google Earth's mapping tools to stop illegal logging in their region.
Now, with Timelapse in Google Earth, anybody can fly over any region in the world and see decades of planetary change. When you see these changes with your own eyes, there's what I call the digital overview effect — you become more emotional and more engaged.
How do you identify areas where Google can have the biggest impact?
I look for the hard problems that Google can make a dent in. Climate change is at the top of that list. It's an existential threat, and we're all experiencing the effects of rising temperatures: from droughts to wildfires to islands disappearing. There's a sense of urgency that we have to act now.
Then I look for patterns. I've read voraciously over the past few years to understand what the world's best thinkers have identified as potential pathways to solving climate change. I look at how Google can uniquely contribute to those solutions.
When taking on big challenges, how do you stay motivated?
I was a rock climber and mountaineer for years — I even climbed in the Himalayas. When you climb a mountain, you don't actually see the summit from where you start. But you know if you head in a positive direction, eventually you'll see it, and get there. And along the way, the little breakthroughs will motivate you. Same goes for making meaningful change to protect the planet.
Sometimes the best thing is to make a choice, commit and go forward. Stay attentive and mindful to what's happening along the way, and be prepared to make mid-course corrections. And stay patient, taking on big challenges — whether it's climbing or climate change — is hard work and it takes time. Even when the summit (or your goal) feels far away, don't forget to turn around and look back to appreciate how far you have come. That can be super-motivating, and applies to my work today.

Another scene from the Bugaboos, where Rebecca climbed three of the range's classic granite spires.
You didn't always work at the intersection of environment and technology. What put you on this path?
I studied computer science, and after school I just wanted a job that was intellectually challenging. It didn't matter so much what it was for and what I worked on. That changed after my father, who was an attorney and argued a landmark civil rights case, and my brother, who was an artist and an activist, died within five months of each other. It hit me that we don't live forever. It seems cliche, but I didn't want to look back and think I frittered away with stuff that didn't matter.
I needed that sense of urgency to stop what I was doing, leave my job and reinvent myself. I didn't know what my next move was, and it took me three years to figure it out, but I was determined to find a way to bring my own talents to bear and work on things I cared about. I started small, helping protect the nature that surrounds my community in the Santa Cruz Mountains, and went from there.

Through a particularly tragic series of events, couch potato Maeve Kelly has been forced to sign up for the Other Half, Bath's springtime half-marathon. What Maeve doesn't know is just how brutal some of the other runners are.
As race day draws closer, an Albanian refugee named Spiro makes a run for freedom on the other side of town, escaping the chain gang that has held him hostage and its murderous foreman, who is known to his charges as The Finisher. The Finisher has killed for disobedience before, and Spiro knows there's a target on his back as he tries to lose himself in the genteel medieval city of Bath.
Meanwhile Detective Peter Diamond is tasked with crowd control on the raucous day of the race – and catches sight of a violent criminal he put away a decade ago, and who very much seems to be up to his old tricks now that he is paroled. Diamond's hackles are already up when he learns that one of the runners never crossed the finish line and has disappeared without a trace. Was Diamond a spectator to the prelude to a murder?
Lovesey brilliantly weaves all these disparate characters and storylines into a wonderfully entertaining and compelling story. His work is the gold standard for UK crime fiction writing
Deadly Pleasures
A witty, steadily absorbing procedural marked by Lovesey's customary inventiveness and an unguessable solution
I loved this book and hope that Lovesey, who is in his eighties, will just keep on writing. I adored my virtual trip to Bath and the time spent with this book and its characters
Joyce's Mystery and Fiction Book Reviews
An enthralling read, with an intriguing plot...deals with serious issues of modern life in a compassionate but honest way. The dynamics between Diamond and his team are cleverly portrayed and totally believable
Mystery People
Masterly, atmospheric . . .On the 50th anniversary of the publication of his first novel, Lovesey is still going strong
Publisher's Weekly
Threaded through this elegantly written mystery are vivid and timely subplots concerning Russian oligarchs and Albanian fugitives from modern slavery gangs. Peter Lovesey may now be in his eighties, but he tells his tale with all the wit and verve of a much younger man
This is a story firmly set in the present day (or at least the immediate pre-pandemic present day!) but Peter Lovesey's storytelling skills, and certainly his gift for constructing a fair play puzzle, match those of the finest exponents of Golden Age fiction
In a peerlessly plotted mystery, Lovesey brings back his prickly rule-abhoring detective, Peter Diamond of the Bath police, who's investigating a murder at a half-marathon. As readers who love the Diamond series know, the picture-perfect old British city, honeycombed with sluices, drains and sewers, offers unrivalled facilities for disposing of bodies
It is 50 years since Lovesey's first novel, which also featured running. British mystery fiction's reigning head of state returns to that sporting setting with his customary wit, humanity and unpredictable turns of plot
Throughout, Diamond remains his usual appealing self, and Lovesey retains his knack for tight plotting and supple prose
Mr Lovesey's descriptive passages will have armchair explorers champing at the bit
Pittsburgh Post Gazette
I came away impressed by the storytelling, the relative pace of the plot and of the frequent twists and turns that made this a compelling read
There are those among us who would read Lovesey if he took to writing on the backs of cereal boxes . . . All the signature elements of this acclaimed series are present: the gin-dry humour, the engaging characters, the ending that kills you before you know you're dead . . . Slowly, but with relentless pacing and magical writing . . . the plotlines converge
Booklist (starred review)
An intricate, well-paced murder mystery set against the beauties of Georgian Bath, solved less by cold reason than by instinct and gut feelings on the part of the amiable old-fashioned copper, with his loathing of modern bureaucracy in the police force, and distrust of technology . . . Cat-loving DS Diamond, with his dog-loving girlfriend, Paloma, is the most amiable copper to come our way since the demise of the immortal duo of Ruth Rendell's Wexford
It's hard to believe that Peter Lovesey has been writing for half a century and reading his latest you'll feel he hasn't missed a step
A story full of surprises, The Finisher is one of Peter Lovesey's best, which is saying a lot for a prolific author who has attracted a galaxy of star ratings

Housing and Planning Act 2016
The Housing and Planning Act 2016 achieved Royal Assent on 12 May 2016, after being debated for almost nine months. Architect Stefan Mordue outlines the key aims of the Act.
The thrust of the new Housing and Planning Act 2016 is in creating new measures and provisions to increase both the creation and supply of new build starter homes helping the Government achieve its ambition of one million homes by 2020.
When introduced as a Bill by the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, the proposed legislation made provisions for first-time home buyers, right to buy, pay to stay, rent charges, rogue landlords, planning and compulsory purchase orders, as outlined below.
Housing supply and permission in principle
The Act aims to promote the supply of 20,000 starter homes, by placing a legal duty on councils to guarantee the delivery of starter homes on all reasonably-sized new development sites and promote these to first-time buyers.
New Starter homes are described as:
A "new dwelling, only available for purchase by qualifying first-time buyers, that is to be sold at a discount of at least 20% of the market value. It is also subject to any restrictions on sale or letting specified in regulations made by the Secretary of State".
For the purposes of the National Policy Framework, "new starter homes" are now considered as "affordable housing" by developers under section 106 Agreements. The National Policy Framework defines "Affordable Housing" as "social rented, affordable rented and intermediate housing, provided to eligible households whose needs are not met by the market". The "market" is referring to the housing market which is the supply and demand for houses in a particular country or region.
Eligibility is determined with regard to "local incomes and local house prices". Such housing is most commonly provided by housing associations through funding from the Homes and Communities Agency and section 106 agreements.
A duty is now placed upon planning authorities to actively promote the development and provision of starter homes within the planning system. Councils are to make reports available to the public that contain information about carrying out of its functions in relation to starter homes, such as response times to applications and details of how they have been dealt with. The Act places further duties on planning authorities to actively promote the development of self-build and custom houses, granting permission on "serviced plots" to support and double self-build and custom-build houses to 20,000 by 2020.
The Government has made £1.2 billion of funding available through the introduction of the "Starter Homes Land Fund". The fund invites local authorities outside of London to form partnerships with the Homes and Communities Agency to use the fund to acquire, assemble and de-risk land for starter home developments. For details, see www.gov.uk.
Councils must ensure that they have a local plan, setting out plans on how many new homes they plan to deliver in 2017, otherwise the Government will ensure plans are produced for them.
Figures released by Government suggest that almost 20% of councils do not have an up-to-date plan. While 82% of councils have a published local plan, only 65% have fully adopted them.
Home ownership and right to buy
Aspects of social housing are addressed by the Act by extending the "Right to buy" scheme by making grants available to housing association properties, enabling more people to own their own home. This is a measure that underpins the voluntary agreement with the National Housing Federation whereby the Government will make payments to housing associations to compensate for any discounts on offer. A number of housing associations, under a pilot "Right to buy" scheme, have enabled tenants to apply for their voluntary right to buy, on the understanding that once the Act became law, they would complete their contracts, see www.gov.uk. Also, this site helps people find the appropriate "Right to buy" scheme, see www.ownyourhome.gov.uk.
Pay to stay
A number of changes have been made that ensure housing is both managed fairly and is also fit for the future. Measures have been introduced that make it mandatory for local authorities to charge social tenants on high incomes or in particular areas with higher rent, known as "pay to stay".
Findings of a consultation on Pay to Stay: Fairer Rents in Social Housing were published in March 2016.
The household income threshold is currently over £31,000 outside of London and £40,000 within London with households in receipt of Housing Benefit being exempt from paying a higher rate. Affected households will pay an additional 15p in rent for every £1 they receive in taxable income over the threshold.
The Government's intention is to implement the mandatory "pay to stay" scheme from April 2017, with housing associations having discretion whether or not to implement the scheme.
There is a reduction in social housing regulation with the reduction of local authority influence over private-registered providers.
Tenancies for life are to be phased out: new secure tenancies will be granted for a period between 2 to 10 years, with the possibility of longer if the household has a child under the age of nine, offering a fixed-term tenancy until the youngest child turns 19 years of age. This only applies to council tenants. The tenancy can only be succeeded where the person is the tenant's spouse or civil partner, or where he or she has lived in the house as his or her principal home at the time of the tenant's death.
Planning and compulsory purchase orders
In a bid to prevent local authorities from being slow to produce neighbourhood plans, local planning authorities under the Act must make neighbourhood development orders and neighbourhood development plans "as soon as reasonably practice after the referendum".
The Act brings about fundamental changes to planning law to speed up the planning process by using "Permission in principle" allowing local authorities to grant permission in principle for the development of land which is identified in local and neighbourhood plan or is identified on brownfield registers but subject to further technical consultation and details to be agreed by planning authorities. Brownfield registers will provide developers and house builders with up-to-date information on available brownfield sites.
The Act makes changes to the compulsory purchase system. A key change within the Act forces local housing authorities to consider selling "higher value" empty stock and pass income to the Secretary of State. The Government has committed to providing "affordable homes".
Rogue landlords and property agents
The Act allows for local authorities to apply for a "banning order" where a landlord or property agent has been convicted of a banning order offence. The Secretary of State must establish and operate a database of "rogue landlords" which local housing authorities will be able to feed into.
Where a landlord has committed a certain offence (there is a table within the Act that lists the Act, section and general description of offence), a "rent repayment order" can be made ordering the landlord to repay an amount of rent paid by the tenant. The Act also allows a private landlord the ability to recover an "abandoned" premises without serving a section 21 notice and without serving a court order.
The Bill has not been without criticisms during its development. A number of amendments voted for by MPs were overturned using the new English Votes for English Laws. The new law-making process, introduced in the aftermath of the Scottish independence referendum, allows MPs for English constituencies to vote on issues that only affect England and have the power to veto the legislation before other MPs from across the UK can vote on the Bill's final decision. Campaigners from Axe the Housing Act and Architects 4 Social Housing argue that the Act would make social housing unaffordable.
Timetable for implementation of the Act
Regulation SI 2016/733 brings into force various provisions of the Housing and Planning Act 2016 on three dates as outlined below. The provisions concerned include:
on 13 July 2016: sections of the Act regarding the voluntary right to buy, local planning, new towns, the power to quash decision to confirm compulsory purchase order and the right for local areas to request alterations to the planning system
on 1 October 2016: sections of the Act regarding neighbourhood planning, information about neighbourhood development plans and sustainable drainage
on 31 October 2016: sections of the Act regarding self-build and custom housebuilding.

LaFontaine expects 'nothing but their best efforts' from Sabres
By Jason BroughNov 13, 2013, 3:49 PM EST
Safe to say it wasn't just the losses the Sabres were piling up that led to today's shakeup in Buffalo; it was the way they were losing, particularly on home ice in front of their faithful, #suffering paying customers.
"Hockey fans here in Buffalo, they're smart," said new president of hockey operations and former Sabres star, Pat LaFontaine. "Our job…we are in the entertainment business…we expect nothing but [the players'] best efforts every night."
Even last night's 3-2 shootout win over the Kings — the team's first victory of the season at the First Niagara Center — saw the Sabres badly outplayed for most of the game, as evidenced by the 45-17 shot discrepancy in favor of the visitors.
"I wasn't really too impressed with the game," said new head coach Ted Nolan. "It wasn't a very exciting game. I think people spend a lot of hard-earned money to come and watch. The least we can do is entertain them and give an effort."
Shots 5-0. Cue the nightly Bronx cheer for the #Sabres' first one.
— Mike Harrington (@BNHarrington) November 13, 2013
Simply put, the Sabres have been dominated by their opponents. They've got by far the worst shot discrepancy (-14.8), and when it comes to possession stats like Corsi and Fenwick, they rank dead last in those, too.
Some of that, to be fair, is due to the lack of talent on the roster. But if you could quantify effort, it's a good bet they'd be down near the bottom in that as well.

What you basically need to do is to "wait" for each call to be fulfilled before going to the next call.
Be aware that you might getting a better performance to call the external API multiple times so you don't need to wait on each request to be fulfilled after each other.

async function checkbalance(i){
  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    setTimeout(() => {
      console.log('resolved', i)
      resolve();
    }, 100);
  })
}

(async() => {
  for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
    console.log(i);
    await checkbalance(i);
  }
})()

Thankfully, no one got hurt.

Just two weeks after a private airplane he was on was forced to make an emergency landing, rapper Post Malone was involved in a car crash on Sept. 7.
As Billboard reported, Post's Rolls Royce crashed into another car in West Hollywood on Friday morning, before going through a fence and ending up in shrubbery. Thankfully, no one was hurt.
According to Billboard, Post was in the passenger seat at the time of the accident, with his assistant driving the car. The publication also reported that there was no official police report due to the lack of injuries, according to Sgt. Andrew Meyers of the Beverly Hills Police Department, while a "preliminary investigation" found that no alcohol was involved in the crash.
"God hates me, huh?" Post told reporters at the Blast at the time, per Complex. "God's gotta hate me. I'm fine, man. Someone came and hit us...We spun out. Almost a plane and almost a car. You can't f*cking kill me, you motherf*ckers."
Shortly after the incident, Post reiterated his comments on Twitter: "God must hate me lol," he tweeted.
https://twitter.com/PostMalone/status/1038013552982773760
Previously, Post was involved in an emergency landing when the plane he was on malfunctioned. According to Variety, he was en route to Luton, England, when two of the plane's tires blew on the runway, forcing the pilot to circle the sky before re-diverting to New York in order to burn off fuel on the aircraft.
Although the scary incident had Post's fans worried about his well-being on Twitter, the rapper eventually landed safely in New York. Later, he took to his Twitter to offer some thoughts on the incident and people's tweets.
"I landed guys. thank you for your prayers," he wrote. "Can't believe how many people wished death on me on this website. f*ck you. but not today."

So, I finished that last prompt almost by the seat of my pants. For some that read it, it probably posted after midnight. Seeing as how it was only eleven for me though, I still technically got it finished on it's scheduled day! Yay! Well now, this is my attempt at getting these things out in a more timely fashion. As far as going's on in my life, well I realized the ring does help me, though I at least need one other sense in constant activity, usually sound, in order to be more productive with my writing. I realized yesterday when I was writing that I was dragging a bit before I put on my new Inspirering. Even then, I felt a little off-balance without my favorite Pandora station playing.
Theory confirmed, I enjoy music and having a weird little ring on my index finger of my left hand. I'm sure that has some sort of psychic significance, that finger does, I'm just not going to go into it just now. Right now, I have a writing prompt to do or I'll not let myself get that silly nail-art stuff! Today's writing prompt can be found on this list of writing prompts or even more conveniently here: Choose an object that you can see well; something in the room, on your desk, or outside. Describe it to the reader as if they had never seen such a thing.

Science to Play Key Role in Response to New Challenges in Mineral Nutrition
Meat poultry Flock management Feed and nutrition
26 August 2016, at 12:00am
EU - The industry must adopt a science-based approach to re-evaluating nutrition strategies, particularly in light of proposed European Union limits on Zinc and Copper in animal feed, according to animal nutrition technology company, AB Vista.
The call comes after the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) proposed reducing the level of copper from 170mg/kg to 25mg/kg in piglets, in order to limit excess minerals in animal manure. Limits to zinc are also being proposed.
Juan Ignacio Fernández, Sales Director West & South Europe, AB Vista, says the proposed new limits signal that environmental concerns remain a priority in the EU and other markets. He adds that if these proposals are implemented, the industry must find a way to maintain efficient and high-quality animal production.
"It is clear that we need to examine our feed and nutrition strategies to ensure we can address environmental concerns, and meet the needs of the production chain. This is an important balance to address – particularly because lowering the trace element levels in isolation could impact animal health and productivity."
In achieving this balance, the latest scientific research – particularly in respect of the role of phytate and its interactions with trace element absorption – should not be underestimated, he adds.
"Interestingly, EFSA acknowledged that the inclusion of the feed enzyme phytase in swine diets increases the availability of zinc in some feedstuffs."
Mr Fernández hopes one such opportunity to discuss recent scientific developments in this area is at the upcoming International Phytate Summit (IPS3). Convened by two academic institutions (University of Illinois and the Centre of Excellence for Poultry Science at the University of Arkansas) and AB Vista, the summit will bring together a group of experts on phytate.
With a theme of The Value Chain of Phytate Destruction, the summit, to be held in the US in November 2016, aims to advance the scientific understanding of phytate, and the complex and varied role it plays in nutrition.
"Our understanding of feed ingredients and animal digestion and biology has increased considerably in the past few years, and it's important that such academic advancement is translated into innovative real-world solutions."
Mr Fernández says the summit will combine the latest academic research with specific trends and approaches to feed formulation.
"The IPS3 agenda and discussions will focus on strategies for formulating with minerals in the presence of phytate, with the aim of understanding how phytate nutrition can influence the economics of animal production."
Of particular importance to European producers, Patrick Schlegel of Agroscope, Switzerland will be presenting on 'The role of phytate in formulating diets for trace minerals', he added.
IPS3 is a closed academic event, however follow up meetings will be held in different regions throughout 2017. Please contact your local AB Vista representative for more information on IPS3.

Q: Field dependency for category attributes I add attributes in setup script, all is configured properly and attributes are added to a new tab called "MyGroup":
$installer = $this;
$installer->startSetup();
$installer->addAttribute('catalog_category', 'my_attribute1', array(
    'group'         => 'MyGroup',
    'input'         => 'text',
    'type'          => 'varchar',
    'label'         => 'My Attribute 1',
    'backend'       => '',
    'visible'       => 1,
    'required'      => 0,
    'user_defined' => 1,
    'global'        => Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Attribute::SCOPE_GLOBAL,
));
//...here add more attributes
$installer->endSetup();

This automatically creates a tab "MyGroup" and a form with fields for all the attributes which I defined in setup script.
Is there a way to have more control over the entire form inside "MyGroup" tab? For example, normally when I create an admin form I can also add dependency for fields (e.g. to hide field2 if no option selected in field1 etc.). I know how to add field dependency in custom admin form (e.g. http://www.atwix.com/magento/fields-dependency-in-magento-admin-forms/) but I don't know how to do this with category attributes.
So is there a way to override that form somehow? Or at least to add field dependency?

A: Bad news: You cannot define dependencies in attributes, so yes, you will need to manipulate the form directly like in the linked article(s).
Good news: No rewrites are required, there is an observer that you can use: adminhtml_catalog_category_edit_prepare_form
It's triggered for each group in Mage_Adminhtml_Block_Catalog_Category_Tab_Attributes::_prepareForm() and has the Varien_Data_Form as parameter, that you can access with:
$form = $observer->getForm()

At this point all attributes are already added to a fieldset called fieldset_group_{$groupId} - by checking for the fieldset you can identify the currently rendered tab. You need to know the group ID of your tab. Unfortunately the group object itself is not passed to the observer.

A: I have created simple category attribute dependency by adding new input renderer for attribute. It is working this way:
You have several attributes:
– my_attribute
– my_attribute_text
– my_attribute_select

Note that they all start from my_attribute.
First attribute has boolean type. When it is set to true – other attributes that start from my_attribute is visible.

The CMO of 2020: Navigating the journey towards digital marketing maturity in Australia and New Zealand
Aisling Finch August 2018
Aisling Finch / August 2018 / Programmatic, Data & Measurement
New research from the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) shows that only 2% of brands in Australia and New Zealand are realising the power of data-driven marketing. Here, Aisling Finch, Google's director of marketing in Australia and New Zealand, identifies a three-step road map to help CMOs drive their brands to digital marketing maturity—and reap the benefits for their businesses.
Today's empowered consumers have a world of information at their fingertips, and their expectations are always rising. Every online experience needs to be fast, seamless, and relevant. So, for Aussie and New Zealand CMOs, ensuring your brand is making meaningful connections with your consumers at every opportunity is more important than ever before. By embracing a future-facing 2020 outlook, marketing leaders can help their organizations better understand and respond to consumers' growing expectations.
To get a better idea of how brands are responding to the new digital landscape, we teamed up with BCG to look at the digital marketing maturity of more than 40 brands across nine industries in Australia and New Zealand.1 The results were eye-opening.
BCG segmented the brands into four levels of digital marketing maturity: nascent, emerging, connected, and multi-moment. And while they share a number of success factors at different levels, only 2% of businesses in Australia and New Zealand have reached the highest degree of maturity—multi-moment. This means they're providing personal, relevant, and meaningful marketing to each user at every touchpoint. Brands at this multi-moment level are the ones achieving new levels of efficiency and effectiveness—and seeing real business results. Those that succeed see an average increase of 15% in revenue and 12% in cost-efficiency.
Only 2% of Australian and New Zealand brands are realising the full potential of data-driven marketing
Google/BCG, "Mastering Digital Marketing Maturity," 2018.
This creates exciting opportunities—and unique challenges—for Aussie and New Zealand CMOs. Aligning on the steps to digital marketing maturity—both organisationally and technically—is crucial to setting your company and campaigns up for success. We, as Google Marketing, participated in the study, and we're not in the 2% either. We landed in the "Connected" category, meaning we have more work to do.
It all starts with understanding where your business sits on the spectrum, focusing on small steps to move up the marketing ranks, and, ultimately, bringing in results. Here is a three-step road map to guide brands on the journey towards multi-moment maturity:
The path to digital marketing maturity:
Set the foundation
The least mature brands can start by setting the foundations. From an organisational perspective, that comes down to identifying a C-suite sponsor and leveraging partners to fill any capability gaps. On the technical side, it's about understanding what data is currently available and using insights from website analytics and tags to inform your content and audiences.
The next step is to build connections to ensure you're making the best use of your team and their abilities. From an organisational perspective, that means developing expert skills within your organisation and bringing cross-functional teams together, with alignment to common KPIs. And by integrating web analytics and new ad tech, you can build better connections with consumers by streamlining your media buys and serving tailored, insight-driven ads.
"The key is creating connections and shared understanding between teams, including marketing, digital development, and analytics," said Willem Paling, IAG's director of analytics and customer growth. "This makes it easier to prioritise the strategies that work and do away with those that don't."
Make every moment matter
The final step revolves around making every moment matter. Agile teams empower people to embrace innovation and the learning opportunities that come with failure. For CMOs, that means ensuring best practices are shared across teams. From a technical perspective, prioritise choosing the right metrics based on your brand's goals, identifying key signals across your online and offline data, and taking a data-driven approach to attribution to accurately value each online interaction.
Embracing the role of the new CMO
There's more all brands can do, but with a clear path to maturity, success is entirely attainable for CMOs with 2020 mindsets. Like any journey, reaching your destination is not an impossible goal. And with evolving consumer expectations, the end goal might look different today than it does next year—or even five years from now.
But it starts with being honest about where your company sits on the maturity curve, which will help inform the things you can do right now. From there, it's about adopting new ad tech to make better use of insights. And, ultimately, it's about thinking of marketing maturity as an organisation-wide initiative that, when taken step-by-step, is not a risk. Rather, it's a necessity—and a huge opportunity to achieve new levels of success.

Fitbit launches fitness-focused Blaze smartwatch at CES 2016
Dan Howarth | 6 January 2016 1 comment
CES 2016: wearable technology company Fitbit has released a smartwatch with customisable straps and frames at the CES tech fair in Las Vegas, which officially opens today (+ movie).
Like the San Francisco company's existing line of activity-tracking wristbands, the Blaze smartwatch is geared towards fitness and exercise.
It comes with a variety of interchangeable strap, frame and display options, so users can personalise their product.
"One of the first things we learned in this industry is that fitness is personal – and if something isn't your style, you won't wear it," said Fitbit CEO and co-founder, James Park.
"With Fitbit Blaze, we pushed the boundaries of what's possible to create a beautiful, versatile device that can be customised to fit your personal style – while packing a powerful fitness punch to help you reach your goals."
The device provides on-screen workout tips, heart-rate tracking and automatic exercise recognition.
Apple Watch "fails to excite" and is "a bit underwhelming" say designers
It also has a number of features similar to the Apple Watch, which launched in 2014 to mixed reviews. Gadi Amit, who worked on the original Fitbit activity tracker, was among designers who criticised Apple's smartwatch last year. He previously spoke to Dezeen about how wearable technology needs to respond to emotional needs.
When linked to a compatible smartphone via Bluetooth, Blaze displays notifications of incoming calls, text messages and calendar alerts. Users can also answer calls with the device.
Activity stats like distance, pace and minute-mile split times can be gathered using the phone's GPS.
"Fitbit Blaze delivers a combination of innovative features that were carefully selected with intention and purpose, designed to motivate and offer a fitness experience that is more effortless and more useful with advanced guidance and coaching," said Park.
Blaze's colour touchscreen can be adjusted to show different clock styles, and is surrounded by a square frame with chamfered corners.
Strap variations include different colours of rubber and leather, as well as stainless steel links.
Blaze is now available from select retailers and online for $199.95 (approximately £136). Global release is set for March 2016.
CES 2016 runs from 6 to 9 January, though new products have been revealed since the beginning of the week. Also launched at the fair is a smart bra that gives the wearer workout tips and Yves Behar's redesign of the Kodak Super 8 film camera.

By IPC
Peruvian players shone on home soil in Lima, while Brazil led the medals table at the Para Badminton Pan American Championships, between 8 and 11 November. The hosts celebrated seven gold, four silver and four bronze medals at the continental event, while Pilar Jauregui left as the most decorated player with three titles.
The Lima 2019 Parapan Ams Ambassador won the women's singles H 1/2 after beating Yuka Chokyu 21-9, 21-9 in the final. Jauregui then joined forces with the Canadian to take the women's singles H 1/2 crown. She also won the mixed doubles H 1/2 together with Brazilian player Rodolfo Cano.
World No.1 Giuliana Poveda beat USA's Katherine Valli 21-13, 21-6 in the women's singles SS 6 final to add another gold to Peru's haul. She also won the women's doubles and took silver in the mixed doubles alongside compatriot Jesus Salva Tunque.
Pedro Pablo de Vinatea was another Peruvian player who stood out, taking gold in the men's singles SL 3 thanks to a 21-13, 21-12 victory over Brazilian Leonarzo Zuffo in the final. De Vinatea went on to claim silver in the men's doubles together with compatriot Renzo Bances.
Peru's seventh gold medal was won by Milagros Fernandez Vargas, with Brazilian Vitor Goncalves Tavares, in the mixed doubles SS 6.
Brazil top the table
The Rio 2016 Paralympic Games hosts ended with a staggering 13 golds, nine silvers and 20 bronze.
Vitor Goncalves Tavares was the standout player, sweeping all his three events. He defeated USA's Miles Krajewski 21-13, 21-13 in the men's singles SS 6 final to win his first gold. Tavares followed that up with golds in the men's and mixed doubles as well.
Marcelo Alves was another top player competing on Peruvian soil. He took the men's singles WH 1 title after beating Rodolfo Cano 21-12, 21-14 in an all-Brazilian final. Alves also won the men's doubles WH 1/2 but could 'only' capture silver in the mixed doubles.
In a hard-fought women's singles SL 3-SU 5 final, Cintya Oliveira beat Olivia Meier 14-21, 21-18, 21-16 to add another title for Brazil. She also topped the podium in the women's doubles together with compatriot Abinaecia Maria da Silva.
Guatemala celebrate
Raul Anguiano showed once again why he is one of the world's best players in the men's SL 4 by winning the singles competition following a 21-14, 21-10 victory over Canadian Pascal Lapointe in the final.
The Guatemalan took silver as well alongside Lapointe in the doubles event.

Osun 2022: Gang-up against Oyetola will fail, says Sen. Bashiru
Osun Central Senator, Ajibola Basiru
Published By: Ayorinde Oluokun
31st December, 2021
The Spokesman of the Senate, Senator Ajibola Bashiru, on Thursday said no amount of propaganda and gang-up against the re-election of incumbent Governor of Osun, Adegboyega Oyetola would see the light of day.
He said the party has put in place strong mechanisms and internal structures around the Governor to ensure his emergence not only at the primary but also at the next governorship election.
Bashiru noted that the re-election of Oyetola was God's project that could not be upturned by mere mortals.
This is even as he warned political detractors and interlopers against heating up the polity as election draws near.
The Senate Spokesman who is the Senator representing Osun Central Senatorial District spoke in Igbajo, Boluwaduro Local Government, during the inauguration of 13.15km Ada-Igbajo road reconstructed by Governor Oyetola after 33 years of neglect.
Bashiru who called on those aspiring for one political office or the other to nurture their ambition with caution, politeness and tread softly, said the majority of the party's loyalists are solidly behind Oyetola re-election.

Oyetola condoles with Omisore over dad's death
He challenged those who want to contest against the Governor at the party's primary to do so with civility and stop maligning his personality, saying such an act will rather earn them disgrace and hatred, not empathy.
"We are not saying no one should contest against Governor Oyetola at the primary. What we are saying is that no one should take the advantage to hurl abuses on any member of the party or the personality of Mr. Governor.
"Contest is the beauty of democracy. It gives strength to democracy, but it shouldn't be abused. As it is, one person has obtained form to contest in our party and we are expecting others to follow suit; but all we know is that no amount of propaganda, political gimmicks and gang-up can pull down the already-built winning structure of the incumbent Governor to return re-elected.
"We are aware of the intent of those that are making noise that they want to contest. They should go ahead and if they don't have the fund to obtain nomination and declaration of intent forms, I will lend them to show that no one is against their show of interest to contest.
"With God on our side, we are confident of winning both the primary and the real governorship election. As we all know, the first general election supervised by the Governor took our party to victory. We won 23 seats out 26 seats of the State House of Assembly. Similarly, our party won 6 seats out of 9 seats of Federal House of Representatives and 2 Senatorial seats out of 3. This is a pass mark and it shows that we are fully on the ground.
"As you all know, a lot of things have been addressed capable of taking our party to the promised land and earn us victory at all elections. Our Governor is committed to this and we are assured of victory by God's Grace," he added.
