On April 12, ESPN released a new app, ESPN+, with its own subscription streaming service. ESPN+ offers free content, including sports scores, news, analysis clips, video highlights and select live and on-demand sports audio content. For $5 a month, you can have the "incremental thousands of hours of live programming," as Disney CEO Bob Iger said on the announcement of the app.
NHL – Beginning with the 2018-19 season, a daily game throughout the regular season-a total of more than 180 hockey games.
Grand Slam Tennis – Hundreds of men's and women's singles, doubles and other matches from the Australian Open, Wimbledon and the US Open.
Rugby – Hundreds of matches from SANZAAR Rugby, the HSBC World Rugby Sevens series and Major League Rugby.
Some sports enthusiasts were bothered by the fact that ESPN's press release made no mention of the NFL or NBA at all. Some even dared to say that ESPN+ will stream programming not valuable enough to appear on one of ESPN's eight cable networks. However, you'll still be able to access "TV Everywhere" if you are already an ESPN subscriber.
ESPN+ won't be a groundbreaking app on the cord-cutting market. The company has been suffering from the declining number of viewers. This new app is not a way to recover those lost viewers but a compliment to an audience of cable subscribers who are interested in more coverage of less popular sports.
If you're interested in exclusive content, ESPN+ is available on ESPN.com and within a redesigned ESPN app for iOS and tvOS devices. For users of Apple's TV app, ESPN+ content is supported in the TV app on iPhone, iPad and Apple TV.

Healthy Neighborhoods Challenge! Champlain Valley Family Yoga: Ancient Practice, New Hope for Addiction Recovery
September 15, 2016 Awesome Project, Healthy Neighborhoodsioby
ioby's Healthy Neighborhoods Challenge is launching loud and proud this week. We're super excited to be partnering with the New York State Health Foundation (NYSHF) to support citizen leaders in nine neighborhoods and cities across New York as they take an active role in creating a culture of health where they live. Extra excitingly, the first $200 of each gift supporters like you make to their campaigns will be matched dollar-for-dollar by NYSHF through September 30!

Champlain Valley Family Center
"Everyone knows someone who's affected by substance use addiction, no matter who or where you are," says Ginny Brady, Board President of the Champlain Valley Family Center (CVFC) in Plattsburgh, New York. "It's everyone's problem; everyone's issue."
For almost 35 years, CVFC has provided treatment and prevention programs for people struggling with substance use addiction, and their families. They offer both education- and community-based programming, and are now adding a third dimension through their Healthy Neighborhoods Challenge project: Champlain Valley Family Yoga.
"We'd like to add more of a 'spiritual' program that can address the many things people benefit from focusing on when they have addiction problems," Ginny says. "Things like getting exercise and gaining strength, feeling good about their bodies, relaxing, deep breathing, mindfulness, building a new skill and a new community, and on and on. These are all qualities inherent in yoga that can help people feel good about their progress when they're struggling."
Adding yoga classes to CVFC's roster of services is a multi-phase plan that began with staff member Emily Cole's desire to earn a yoga training certificate. Conversations with her colleagues generated the idea that she could eventually lead yoga classes for their community, in their space—if only they had the right space… Perhaps providentially, CVFC recently purchased the second half of the building they occupy, and the New York State Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services will be working with them to renovate it this fall. The overhaul includes plans for a yoga studio and library of yoga-related books and videos.
Ginny hopes they'll be able to open the space in May 2017, and eventually hold yoga sessions and even retreats there for both the people who use CVFC facilities and their loved ones. The organization will make sure classes are covered by clients' health insurance or operate by donation. And Ginny hopes to get other area yoga studios involved: "If they know of people who might benefit from yoga in our setting, they can advertise it and refer people to us. And we can use some of our funding to offer gift certificates to people who want to expand their practice outside our hours or location."
Having served on the CVFC board for 15 years, Ginny has seen lots of changes take place in Clinton County, a place she loves living, a place with a great small-town feel. "But our community is like many New York state communities," Ginny says. "We have a real concern about the addiction crisis we're facing. It used to be that addiction was viewed as a moral weakness; a character flaw. But we know now that it's much more: it's a health crisis like any other, and that means it has to be viewed and dealt with in many different ways: medically, with support systems, with behavioral changes. We're looking for new ways to have an impact on this health crisis that's becoming overwhelming. We have to try new things to find solutions that will help more people."
Ginny says she realizes yoga might not be the answer for everyone struggling with addiction, but it is a way to address aspects of their experience that more traditional methods like going to a lecture or attending group therapy aren't reaching. "We want to get the word out that yoga isn't just for vegans!" she jokes. "It's not just for circus performers, or supermodels. It is growing in popularity, and people are learning that they can just take the bits and pieces of it that suit them. It's not all or nothing. It's a practice that can be tailored to where a person is at any given time, that can help them at any stage in their recovery."

Edsall turns 60 Aug. 27, three days before the Huskies open the 2018 season at Rentschler Field against Central Florida. It marks the beginning of his second season in his second stint at UConn, a program trying to find its way by guessing that Edsall can do what he once did — make the Huskies relevant, make football a winner, make people in Connecticut care.
It was nearly 20 years ago, December 1998, when Edsall, previously the defensive coordinator at Georgia Tech, was first introduced as UConn coach. He was 40, an assistant coach for 18 years, and he used his introductory press conference to set the highest of expectations for a program that hadn't even begun the transition into the level of college football now known as FBS.
He mentioned winning a national championship, which, of course, never happened and never could. Still, he won a couple of Big East championships and reached the Fiesta Bowl after the 2010 season, the third in a row the Huskies finished 8-5. Then he was off to Maryland, off our football radar as the UConn program eroded and fell without a seat in the Power Five game of musical chairs.
It has been more than a year and a half since the latest press conference to introduce Edsall, in December 2016. He's as different as the situation, much more conversational and open — in part because he has relaxed, in part because he knows the job now requires salesmanship. He remains in great shape, runs 5 miles a day and mixes in 20-mile bike rides, and runs the program with the same energy that helped him push a new FBS program to the top of a terrific conference in the 2000's.
Edsall is, of course, much closer to retirement than the beginning of a career. That doesn't scare him. He wanted the UConn job and still wants it. He didn't need it and still doesn't need it. He's here doing what he loves, nurturing a program he loves; he just acts and looks slightly different this time around — right down to the hearing aids.
Basically, his wife, Eileen, got tired of Edsall saying, "Huh?" Much of his life's work has been conducted in loud stadiums and with assistants barking into the headset he wears on the sideline.
A couple of years ago, Edsall and Eileen were in Atlantic Beach, Fla., for Tom Coughlin's Jay Fund Celebrity Golf Classic. Doug Marrone, now the Jaguars coach and long an Edsall friend from their Syracuse ties and time spent together at Georgia Tech in the 1990's, was there, too, with wife Helen.
Edsall doesn't expect a birthday party later this month. He'll be wrapped up in UCF preparation. He has, though, thought back through time lately, this kid from Glen Rock who thought he'd finish his days at Syracuse and teach and coach high school football the rest of his life.
Edsall mentioned travel, family time, golf. For now, he's fully immersed in his final project and a milestone birthday, to him, is just another day to continue building UConn to a point where it will sustain over time.

Local Democracy Weekly: Making the Lincoln Christmas Market loss-proof
Seven months ago, City of Lincoln Council officials sat around a table with a plan
Photo: Kurnia Aerial Photography
By Calvin Robinson Local Democracy Reporter
Seven months ago, City of Lincoln Council officials sat around a table with a plan – to make the Christmas Market the "jewel in the crown" of the festive season.
It was part of a vision to create a "brand standard" for the annual event, expanding it further, tying in other attractions and bringing in more sponsorship.
Also included in the plan was ideas to cover costs and bring in more income, though officials acknowledged that this would be difficult.
"Spending a lot of money on year one on big-ticket items is not going to be realistic when we have to balance the budget and year-on-year contractor costs are going up," said Simon Colburn, assistant director for health and environment.
The 10-year plan for the future of the market is hoped to help expand the event, which made an £82,320 loss last year.
It was the biggest deficit the city council had faced in six years.
The 2017 event was marred by bad weather, which led to a final day closure and ultimately a £53,750 loss.
Prior to that, the market made a profit in 2016 but then produced successive losses in the six years leading up the surplus making year.
The city council maintains that the market attracts visitors from all over who bring a millions of pounds worth of economic benefit to the city.
No one doubts that and anyone who has stepped foot in the castle grounds, the cathedral or walked up Steep Hill during the festivities would argue that it's not a seminal event.
However, the balance sheet does not lie and last year's market was hit by a drop in park and ride numbers, policing costs and a stallholder price freeze.
According to the authority, next year's event has already received more than 300 stall applications.
The Victoriana theme will also tie in with other events around the city.
It also ties in with the grand plan for the market which those council bosses mused about in March ahead of the first year of a 10-year vision.
But the important part will come in July next year, when the final balance sheet is published. — CALVIN ROBINSON

Xiaomi's e-commerce platform adds new car sales business
Qualcomm makes a tactical error and Apple wins early motions in patent trials
Bhaswati S.
In the pre-trial going on of the patent lawsuits of Apple and Qualcomm, Qualcomm's legal team made a slip – it failed to add an important part to its motion and tried to correct its blunder at a later time, according to FOSS Patents.
In a ruling on September 4, it was said that in July Apple had gestured to strike portions of 12 expert reports supplied by Qualcomm, having claimed that the experts "improperly opined" on transgression. The original complaint requested declaratory verdict on flaw and non-infringement of nine Qualcomm patents.
Initially, Qualcomm responded to Apple's motion by unexpectedly declining to put forth the compulsory counterclaims of the breach, a move that was quite limiting for Qualcomm. By and by when Qualcomm's legal team attempted to oppose Apple's motion to make the jury hear the complaints of its experts in toto, Apple's legal team motioned to obstruct such an alteration. Apple's motion partly succeeded making Qualcomm unable to use some of the testimony at trial unless it appeals with success.
Magistrate Judge Mitchell Dembin of the United States District Court of the Southern District of California is advising the sections focused on the "standard-essential" nature and value of the patents. The more intense the infringement are, the more essential the patents. Judge Dembin addressing the issue of export reports conflicting with Qualcomm's initial decision to not counterclaim Apple, declared that "Qualcomm will be held accountable for the consequences of its tactical decisions." He added that "To the extent that Qualcomm claims they have disclosed in discovery their views regarding infringement and, consequently, there is no surprise and no prejudice, is unavailing. Rules are rules and tactical decisions have consequences."
Other than this patent infringement suit relating to Apple and its intellectual property, Qualcomm is also involved in another related legal battle associated with the denial of the motion of prosecutors in a class action suit to hinder Qualcomm from obtaining a U.S. International Trade Commission exclusion order, one that would affect the import of iPhones with Intel modems.

How to retweet using Twitter's new temporary format
Twitter is temporarily changing how you retweet ahead of the November 3rd US presidential election, to help prevent abuse and the spread of misinformation. Don't worry, you'll still be able to retweet. But until at least the end of election week, it won't be quite as easy as usual to retweet something to all of your followers.
Starting today, when you click or tap the retweet icon, Twitter will pull up the Quote Tweet composer to encourage you to write something about that tweet before you share it. You don't have to write anything if you don't want — just leave the composer blank and hit the retweet button to retweet like you normally would. But Twitter is hoping that by introducing some friction into the process, people might better consider exactly what they're retweeting or take the opportunity to add their own perspective.
The changes to retweets aren't the only differences you might see to your Twitter experience today. Twitter also won't show "liked by" or "followed by" recommendations from people you don't follow, and the trends box will only show trends with included additional context. Like the changes to retweets, these tweaks will be in place from today until at least the end of election week in the US, according to Twitter. All of these changes were first announced on October 9th.

This project documents include test data and photographs from seven single-bolted lap joint tests that were conducted at ambient temperature, 400 deg Celsius and 600 deg Celsius. The purpose of these tests was to investigate the effects of bolt diameter and plate thickness on plate bearing behavior at 400 deg Celsius and 600 deg Celsius. Each single-bolted lap joint specimen consisted of one ASTM A325 bolt and two ASTM A36 plates. Additionally, three-dimensional (3D) finite element models were developed to predict the behavior of the single-bolted lap joints. The models were benchmarked using experimental results from the plate bearing tests. The project documents also include the results from the finite element analysis (FEA), and comparisons of the load versus displacement curves measured experimentally with those predicted analytically.

The Remixes is Kellee's sixth studio album released in 2015, which takes nine of her greatest hits and creates a completely new spin on them. The album is definitely one to bring you some much needed energy for the day. Filled with great electronic arrangements and plenty of great beats there is just nothing more to add.
The Fifth Element is Kellee's fifth studio album that was released on Valentine's Day 2014. This album is different from her other releases in that it is slower in some ways both in the instrumentals and her rapping style. Kellee collaborates on the instrumentals with Nice Nate, Golden Day, Headphone Activist and J. Glaze. To Kellee, The Fifth Element represents Love - which she feels in its unconditional form could help humanity to evolve and shift consciousness from the "love of power to the power of love" as Jimi Hendrix stated. The album design features over 1,000+ fans that sent pictures of themselves displaying Love in whatever way they saw fit.
Owl Time is Kellee's fourth studio album that was released on December 12, 2012. This album has influences taken from electronic, dance, and sometimes even experimental music.
Integration is Kellee's third studio album. It was released on November 11, 2011 and was recorded primarily in her home studio aka Nakturnal Studio. Its musical styles range from Reggae to Dubstep to Electro Pop. The content of the LP explores the idea of having a good balance between the dualities in human nature (i.e., Good & Evil).
Aligned Archetype is Kellee's second studio album. It was released for free download on January 29, 2010. The album features the sounds of Dubstep, Hip Hop, and Baltimore Club. Local producers including King Tut and Scottie B worked with Kellee during the recording process.
Age of Feminine is Kellee's first album. It was recorded and released independently. The leading sound engineer was DJ Huggy, who was involved with the mixing and recording of each track for the album.

The new chair of the parliamentary committee which acts as a watchdog for Defra is Neil Parish, Conservative MP for Tiverton and Honiton.
Parish was the sole nominee to head the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee (Efra) so is elected unopposed.
Other committees with unopposed chairs are Communities and Local Government (Clive Betts, Labour) and Decc (Angus MacNeil, SNP). The results of elections for other committees will be announced on 18 June. They include the Environmental Audit Committee for which Labour's shadow minister Barry Gardiner is a nominee.
Parish, a former farmer, said: "Over the past five years, I have enjoyed being a member of the committee and look forward to helping make sure that issues concerning our countryside, environment, flooding and food security are properly dealt with.
Parish replaces fellow Tory MP Anne McIntosh, who left Parliament at the last election having been de-selected by her constituency party.
One of Efra's final actions in the last session of Parliament was to criticise Defra for a lack of transparency on its budget and limited actions to improve staff morale.
In October 2014 it published a critique of the waste management sector.


1. Today is Duke's 4th Birthday!!
Happy birthday to this sweet, sweet dog who is loyal beyond words. Last year, within the course of a month, he lost his very best friend (and only friend he had ever known), and then welcomed a new baby brother to the family. He honestly adapted so much better than I ever imagined possible, and continues to be a best buddy to both of the boys. We're going to shower him with snuggles and extra treats today!
2. If you read last week's weekend dish, then you saw that I had pretty much cried uncle on the week after Joseph came down with a cold on Friday. Well, by Saturday morning (after a looooooong night), we learned that he didn't just have a cold, he had croup. He's still fighting off a little bit of a runny nose and intermittent cough, but he's doing MUCH better. He did, however, pass on the nasty illness to my husband, who has been sick all week. Dominic and I were each slightly under the weather for a day and seem to have powered through, so fingers crossed that this has been the worst of it!
3. As a result of getting hardly any sleep Friday night and taking care of a pretty sick kiddo on Saturday, for the first time in my adult life, I was asleep before dark on Saturday night. I remember being a kid in the summer and going to sleep when it was still light out, but it felt so super strange to do it now. HOWEVER! My gosh did I feel good when I got up on Sunday morning, even though my sleep was broken up by a 2am snuggle session in Joseph's room.
4. If you read any of Jennifer Weiner's books and picked up the paperback version of her new book, Hungry Heart, the cover may have looked familiar to you. Homemade Hostess Cupcakes, anyone?! How fun is that?! This had been in the works for a few months, so it was super exciting to actually see it in print!
5. This is the third summer we've been in our house, and every single year, robins build two nests under our deck, one on each side. There is currently a mother sitting on eggs in one and newly hatched chicks in the other. The other day we were playing with the boys in the basement and through the window were able to watch the mama bring food in to the chicks. I absolutely adore this every single year; it makes me absurdly happy.
7. I'm ready for Wimbledon to start on Monday! I'm in my summer sports slump!
8. This story gives me so many goosebumps… an umpire who was set to work the Pittsburgh Pirates game last night was walking over one of (the many) bridges downtown after getting lunch, and saw a woman about to jump. He basically saved her life, and the story is incredible.
9. We're through episode seven in House of Cards, and it has gotten SO GOOD. It started so slowly, but they've definitely made up for it!
Congrats on the book cover! That's a nice testament to both your baking and photography skills. I predict a run on Hostess cupcakes (unless Jennifer included your recipe in her book).
My husband and I started watching House of Cards after you mentioned it here a few weeks ago…we are now almost to season three and completely obsessed! It's rare that we find a show we both agree on, so we love having this one together. Thanks for the recommendation!
How cool robins build nests under your deck. Wildlife is so cool, especially baby animals. We've had baby ducks, bunnies, squirrels, birds, skunks, and groundhogs. So cute!
So sorry to hear the family was sick. No fun not getting any sleep. Happy to hear they are getting better. Cute pictures of the boys, especially Dominic with Duke. Happy Birthday to Duke. He is a sweet dog and a good champion.
Keep giving us updates on you and the family. Love to see them.
I can't begin to tell you how much I look forward to reading your blog, especially on Fridays and Saturdays. So much good information! With all the negative news, I know I can always turn to your site to see how much GOOD there is in this world. Thank you for sharing your GREAT recipes and for sharing your family stories. You are such a treasure!
At my previous home I had a family of swallows that made a nest in my front porch for several years. I was always pleased when "the swallows came back" every year.
Love your website, family and stories!!
The picture of your baby and dog looking through the door windows is the most adorable photograph I have seen in a a while. Thanks for the smile!!!
Happy Birthday Duke! Hope everyone everyone is well soon.
Congrats on having your cupcake on the cover! HOW COOL!
Sorry about the croup….eeek! I hope you have a great weekend and get some rest!
I'm so sorry that Joseph has been sick all week and that your husband got it – hate when the kiddos get sick. Happy Birthday to Duke – he is an excellent doggie! The story about the umpire in Pittsburgh was pretty great – I love those kind of human interest stories and with the news would focus on positive things more often. The boys are looking fabulous as usual! They are such handsome boys. Have a great weekend!
SUCH A CUTE PUPPERS! Our last dog was a Golden and man Charlie was a good dog.
Congratulations on the book cover photo! That's pretty cool!
I can't believe Duke is 4!! Or that it's the 3rd summer in your new house!! Both seemed like yesterday! Congratulations!
I usually try to keep my opinions to myself but I think Duke needs a new live-in dog friend! He misses Einstein.
I second that emotion. Not that you don't already have your hands full enough as is, but Duke looks like he could use a pup pal.
JOEY, YOU ARE ALREADY A HEARTBREAKER…………………!
That last photo is just sooo cute!!


Today is a lazy day in our house. I didn't brave the mall, I came home last night exhausted and was drooling on my pillow by 9 o'clock. I'm celebrating 10 years with my man in the most simple way with a warm bowl of soup and some fresh biscuits. This is one of my favorite ways to enjoy leftover turkey. It would also work if you only cooked a Turkey breast or a chicken. The best part is all of the ingredients were in my fridge from cooking Thanksgiving dinner.
In a large pot, cover leftover turkey with water and vinegar. Bring to a boil, skip foam if necessary, and reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 2-3 hours. Remove meat and bones and let cool. Add rice and cook for 30-40 minutes on a lightly rolling simmer covered. When cool enough to touch pull meat from bones and discard bones and skin (this is my dog's favorite part!). Add meat and veggies and spices, raise heat and bring to a boil again. Reduce temperature and cook until veggies are tender. Remove bay leaf and add 1 tbsp. of salt at a time until it tastes right. Serve and enjoy!
For the Crock pot, cook the turkey, water, and vinegar overnight and then add all of the other ingredients back and cook for 2-3 hours on high.
You can also use a pressure cooker to speed up the process. I love my Fissler! I stopped using my pressure cooker for a little while after reading Nourishing Traditions, but after reading more about it here and comparing notes on how gelatin is broken down under high heat and seeing that pressure cooker stock is full of gelatin, I started using it again for stock and soups. My favorite is still, meatloaf in my perforated pan...but that's for another post. My verdict would be if you have a pressure cooker you paid $300 for like I do, you should use it. If you don't have one...you may not need one. Anyway...Happy Black Friday!!


"The U.S. government has no evidence that any life exists outside our planet, or that an extraterrestrial presence has contacted or engaged anymember of the human race.In addition, there is no credible information to suggest that any evidenceis being hidden from the public's eye. Many scientists and mathematicians have looked with a statistical mindset at the question of whether life likely exists beyond Earth and have come tothe conclusion that the odds are pretty high that somewhere among the trillions and trillions of stars in the universe there is a planet other than ours that is home to life. Many have also noted, however, that the odds of us making contact with any of them - especially any intelligent ones - are extremely small, given the distances involved. But that's all statistics and speculation. The fact is: WE HAVE NO CREDIBLE EVIDENCE OF EXTRATERRESTRIAL PRESENCE HERE ON EARTH".
The late Carl Sagan was a brilliant scientist, astronomer and the ultimate rational thinker.
As far as the UFO phenomenon is concerned, we still do not know its true nature. The phenomenon "seems" to be real.
However, to equate it unequivocally with physical extraterrestrialvisitation borders on pseudoscience and is no different from a religious belief. However, religion is religion and science is science. There is nothing wrong in having a religious belief, since it is an intrinsic part of human nature. I, for one, am a strong believer in the existence of God, His creation and His divine plan for our life.
Dr. Jacques Vallee suggested that "there is a spiritual component...the UFO phenomenon is controlled by a nonhuman sort of consciousness". But he also proposed the possibility that "the UFO phenomenon could even be material photoplasmic projections of the collective unconscious of thehuman family". But the bottom line is we still do not know.
While suggesting that the government has been just as perplexed by this phenomenon as a segment of the public, I agree totally with Col. John Alexander that there has never been any intentional "cover-up" of this phenomenon.
I also totally agree with my colleague, Tomas Scolarici who said: "The UFO phenomenon is not a threat to our security. The same phenomenon neither was a threat for the Sumerians or Romans, or Indians. There is no such thing as a cover-up, and the authorities know as little about the nature of the UFO phenomenon as ourselves."
(Despite the often reported "mischievous", "oppressive", "tricky", "deceptive" nature of the phenomenon, in addition to their rather "primitive" modus operandi, such as their alleged "abductions" of humans, definitely not a sign of any physical visitation of highly advanced, intelligent civilizations from outer space......in fact, it almost seems to me that it all tantamounts to "demonic activity" of some kind and, if so, the government would not touch it with a 10 foot pole!! ).
"Many UFO reports seem to pertain more to accounts of poltergeist and....psychic manifestations....I cannot accept the 'obvious' explanations of UFOs as visitors from outer space" - Dr. J. Allen Hynek, Scientific Advisor to the U.S. Air Force.
"An impressive parallel can be made between UFO occupants and the popular conception of demons" -Dr. Jacques Vallee, Astrophysicist, Author and Advisor to the U.S. Air Force.
parapsychologists" - Lynn E. Catoe, Library of Congress Senior Bibliographer.
science, going into such areas as "paranormal phenomena" and "religiousmanifestations" (including "beliefs").
Could the phenomenon be a momentary, holographic intrusion from some typeof a "parallel intelligence"?
Could it be some form of "time-slip", interdimensional "accident"?
We just don't have the answers.
And the government is not in the business of going into these areas!
Could the entire phenomenon be some form of religious manifestations or religious manipulations by a power which we cannot comprehend simply by physical pursuit, a power which apparently is capable of presenting an "instant" (but only temporay) "appearance" or "illusion" of being a physical phenomenon to the observer?
If so, then the government will never make any statement of that nature.
That is not their business!
By the way, here is a quote from the late Carl Sagan on UFOs: "No amount of anecdotal evidence, unsubstantiated by physical evidence, is worth a single substantive bit of physical evidence. A million reports that the Earth is flat has no veridical value on the shape of the Earth".
"No aliens have ever come to Earth in UFOs".
THERE IS NO SINGLE, PHYSICAL, TANGIBLE, SOLID, AS WELL AS IRREFUTABLE DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER THAT PHYSICAL EXTRATERRESTRIAL ALIENS IN PHYSICAL EXTRATERRESTRIAL SPACECRAFT HAVE EVER VISITED (OR, ARE VISITNG) OUR EARTH.
Beliefs in "UFOs" No Different From "Religious Beliefs"

ASUU: The FG is accused by Obidike Chukwuebuka of returning students to school and boosting education.
JUST-IN: ASUU STRIKE UPDATE
Obidike Chukwuebuka accuses the FG of sending pupils back to school and improving education.
Obidike Chukwuebuka is a Nigerian politician and an entrepreneur
In the wake of failed negotiations and counter-efforts by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), which has kept Nigerian students at home for the past four months, Hon. Obidike Chukwuebuka, a human rights and accountability advocate, has urged the Federal Government to send students back to school and improve the country's educational system, noting that education improves the economy.
In a statement, Obidike declared definitely that the higher their education and achievements, the better their employment chances. "People who grew up poor but were educated have a great possibility of changing their lives, contributing to a reduction in poverty rates in society." Since education aids economic growth, it is beneficial to countries.
It's all about gaining knowledge and being able to apply it wisely to our lives while also improving the lives of others.
"Education is critical in today's culture. To be able to contribute to society, one must learn about culture, history, and other vital aspects. People are molded into leaders not just via their mastery of (college) courses, but also through their demonstration of how to lead with emotions and authentic principles. People that are well educated can quickly distinguish between good and wrong, which aids in the reduction of crime. Bad things are happening all across the world, and only capable leaders can lead us in the right direction.
"Digital education allows people and organizations all over the world to connect."
ASUU strike: "I feel like sobbing when I see empty school buildings," ABU VC
ASUU: We are not beggars, ASUUNGN tells FG.
All education facilitates communication with individuals and organizations all over the world. There are no longer any borders. "Being able to interact and share ideas with people from different countries and cultures broadens our perspectives and allows us to better understand and respect one another," Obidike added.
Since February, the Academic Union's industrial action has hampered academic operations at public universities, with multiple meetings ending in dead ends, demonstrating the government's inability to return students to their lecture halls.
"As a result, I demand that the federal government send pupils back to school."

We've been in the red state of Utah for almost two weeks and we've learned a few things. First, the natural beauty and abundance of National Parks make this state a great place to spend lots of time. Second, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (LDS) is the underlying drone to nearly all of the harmonies that play out across this land. And third, the Church was very much involved in the economic history and settlement of the state and subsequently continues to have difficulties with the Federal government over many things. Historically, the church lost out on the subject of marriage equality ( ie. polygamy) but currently fights over Federal lands are alive and well. It seems pretty clear why the overpowering lyrics here contain the lines, "Don't tread on me". That being said, we have had nothing but gracious interactions with practically everyone we met.
To get better acquainted we conducted a serious immersion program in Salt Lake City by accepting the LDS-sponsored shuttle from the KOA campground, which included a drive-by tour of Temple Square, suggestions for our visit, and a ride home at day's end. We followed some of their advice and toured the visitor's center, where we were squired around by a couple of sweet Mormon Sisters, who, like young male missionaries who come to your door, were giving a year of service to share their faith with folks like us who are polite enough to listen. We also looked up our long -dead ancestors at the Family History Library, and very much enjoyed a rehearsal of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.
Straying from the program, we also enjoyed a visit to the public library and a stroll through downtown. It appeared to us there were unusually high numbers of folks asking for handouts and sleeping on the streets in the area surrounding the opulent walled-in Temple Square which occupies several blocks in the center of town. This was similar to our experience at the edge of town where we had considered boondocking at the Wal-Mart. We had been quite excited about the covered 13- foot-high garage and the warm welcome from the management, but soon found there were a number of very decrepit vehicles and unhappy people hanging around the premises. Our discomfort resulted in a move to the KOA.
After our day in SLC we were eager to leave the city and braved the freeway through the rest of urban Utah (a 150-mile strip from Ogden through SLC and ending at Provo) finally landing in the land of red earth and Mormon pioneer farms. Soon we had a delightful encounter with a 200-head cattle drive on a narrow, twisty mountain road and experienced the 10,500 foot altitude at Cedar Breaks National Monument, which confirmed our suspicions that we really are sea-level girls.
Now, having ascended the Colorado Plateau repeatedly and having descended into countless river valleys, we've decided there are many reasons why we prefer looking up at red sandstone magnificence rather than looking down on it. We reached this realization from several experiences: the first being our visit to Zion National Park. Unfortunately it fell on the weekend that apparently all of Las Vegas was celebrating Indigenous People's Day by communing with nature. The shuttle ride up Zion Canyon reminded us of the Boston MTA on the way to Fenway Field. But at the end of the road, when we got out and walked up the Virgin River canyon, it was serene and comforting to be surrounded by sheer cliff walls of deliciously tinted red sandstone. We felt the same when we (again accompanied by way too many people) experienced the luscious walls of Antelope Canyon, a slot canyon carved by flash floods through soft red and gray sandstone. It was stunningly beautiful.
The alternative to being at the bottom of a canyon is being on top of the mesas, buttes, ridges and plateaus that rim them. This was our experience at Bryce Canyon and along the All American Road known as Scenic Byway 12 which runs through beautiful Red Canyon, past Bryce National Park all the way to Torrey, Utah. One of the most exciting parts of this road is Hogback Ridge where the land drops away from the shoulder-less road on both sides, the next level place being thousands of feet below. It reminded us a lot of Montana's Beartooth Highway. When driving these stretches Liz reminds herself it's just a road like all others, the point being to stay between the lines, and Janna keeps her eyes shut. We got to Arches National Park and enjoyed these kinds of views from the big screen in the Visitor Center, then went on to bicycle and camp along the river, happily looking up at the beautiful canyon walls.
Another interesting stop along the way was Angel Canyon, home of Best Friends Animal Society. Janna had time to practice her new musical instrument, while Liz toured the 4000-acre center, home to over 1500 animals, including many dogs, cats, horses, parrots, rabbits and wild animals as well. We enjoyed the $5 vegetarian buffet at their Angel Café, a nice surprise and well-kept secret.
The past couple of days we've been enjoying the interesting town of Moab, filled with athletic looking people of all ages who drive monster all-terrain vehicles or muddy mountain bikes. We shopped at the well-stocked community co-op; also found a few items at a unique outdoor retail establishment called the Gearhead; and did some trading with a business called Gear Trader. Liz got a music lesson in the park from a local fiddler and Janna got a Skype music lesson using the internet at the local library. Now we are headed further south and east to San Juan County (Utah that is), then on to Colorado, with Lilypad sporting a new bike rack.
We heard about Angel's Landing and decided we were two 60+ and 70 year olds that would stay on the canyon floor. I greatly enjoyed the drive east of the tunnel, but Janna refused to go out that way so we ended up 120 miles out of our way...it got us on an interesting Navaho Nation road that went by huge piles of what looked like fossilized herbivore dinosaur dung. Not the sort of thing one reads about in most travelogues. Now we are in a commercial campground in Cortez, CO, watching SF pound KC. Are you still up for a visit in late November or early December? Send us an email with your availability.


Held in November each year, this is a 35 mile, 10 stage relay, all off-road out and back along the High Peak Trail, starting and finishing near to Cromford Mill. All stages are run as a RACE - when the winner of one stage finishes, all runners are set off on the next one. Stages vary in length from 2.5 miles to 6 miles.
This is event we have won 3 times. First in 1992, then 1994 and again in 2010. There are anything between 30 to 50 teams usually taking part. It usually clashed with the Booths Cross Country League and we didn't enter any teams in later years. The final relay was held in 2013.

When you make a complaint about a public body they are able to use the legal resources paid for by our taxes. When their default position is to ensure damage limitation, you the citizen will have to fight for your rights. As part of PHSOtheFACTS helpful advice service, here is some first-hand information on how to get free legal advice via your local Citizen Advice Bureau.
It is common knowledge that Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB) is a valuable free service to answer any questions that may arise in life which we do not already know the answer to and many of us come away a more informed person after an appointment with one of their helpful volunteers.
We may find however that their limited knowledge is unfortunately not enough if we are considering pursuing/defending or are already involved in court proceedings. There could be legal procedures, time-limits and questions that we feel need to be answered and certain facts we need to be aware of before deciding what to do and how to move forward.
Fortunately and not so common knowledge is that many Citizens Advice Bureau's can arrange for you to have a fixed fee or very often free hour appointment with a trained legal advisor/solicitor who visits the bureau around 1 day per month to help you decide whether to take your case further.
There is a way of receiving the absolute maximum benefit to this very small amount of time you have. You are only allowed one session per case/issue and the aim is to come away with as much legal knowledge regarding your own personal ongoing issue as is possible. I have used this free service myself which I found very useful.
Firstly check to ensure they provide 'this' service at your local CAB. Not all CAB's provide this service & if you are considering court proceedings you cannot afford to waste any time.
Some volunteers carry enough knowledge to provide you with useful answers and if they do not they will gladly look it up online to see if they can help. They will not, however, be able to provide you with more detailed legal answers or be able to provide you with the merits/downfalls of your case and legal requirements.
It is not until they themselves feel that they are unable to help you any further will you qualify for the trained visiting legal advisor/solicitor. They may even recommend a local solicitor's that can help you and give you their details (which you can note down and do anyhow thereafter).
If they do not offer this service to you but you are aware they are able to be assertive and say this is what you need to happen – 'Half Hour session with the visiting trained legal advisor/solicitor' and they should make the appointment for you.
Getting the maximum benefit from the little time you have.
The Legal Advisor like the PHSO & ICO is said to provide an 'impartial' service. They avoid giving false hope to anyone considering taking their case through the courts and for good reason. They will also not become excited if your case initially shows a very strong hand. It is often that after a meeting which initially provided you with hope for justice you leave feeling deflated once again over a matter that has already caused you a great amount of pain and distress. In order to provide you with a detailed & informed opinion a greater amount of time would usually be spent firstly looking through your information then discussing so you really need to make the most of this one-off free opportunity.
You will be allowed only one session per issue/case which is only 30 minutes and there are two ways of doing it. In both cases, I would stress writing down every answer.
The first way is to go along as expected with your case records/information/letters and let the legal advisor look at them. A timeline of events and actions is always useful. Thirty minutes is not very long at all and the information you receive will be limited. You will also receive an opinion which should be impartial.
The second way I have found to be much more productive. It involves preparation and a list of questions that you need to know regarding your issue. You refrain from passing your documents over but you will leave the appointment far more informed and knowledgeable of the law relating to your situation. After all, knowledge is what you need to make an informed decision when considering court action. The law applies to everyone so the more legal facts/requirements in the 30 minutes you can gather the more informed you will be. There will be no 'impartial' opinion but when you gather maximum facts and information in 30 minutes and you can see yourself if your case ticks the boxes at this very early stage. You can learn what a case needs to move forward, time limits & legal requirements. You will receive unbiased information and cold hard facts. You can leave the appointment with around 15-20 questions answered to help you to decide and make your decision. Even if you leave the appointment with 10 answers and pieces of information it is likely to be more than if you passed over your documents and waited for the 'chat'.
If you would like to know if you are within the time-limits it is far quicker to ask what the time-limit is than for the legal advisor to search through your documents, ask themselves the question if you are within the time limit and then share an opinion based on the facts. You may need to edit your questions down & be aware that some will take more time to answer so think carefully about which questions to ask.
Take the time to study your own documents and become aware of exactly what you have and what has happened to date. It is highly likely you know your personal issue inside out but lack the legal knowledge surrounding your case. The law applies to everyone so write down all questions you need to be answered and keep them 'matter of fact'.
You will need to know requirements/obligations to legal procedures which again applies to everyone and very quick and easy to answer. You will need to know answers to questions relating to your personal issue but keep them hypothetical and you will receive the answer that applies to you without drifting off course and wasting valuable time.
The legal advisor will already be aware that you have documents from your first meeting with the CAB volunteer and may be a little surprised at the 'not handing documents over' approach. In order for this to work you must be fully aware of what documents you have and you will also need to be brave and tell them exactly what you are going to do with this 30 minute opportunity and their expert knowledge.
Legal Advisors must answer your questions and give you the information you need and inform you how to handle a problem if they are asked and the options that are available. They must inform you of your rights to make a complaint and provide you with information about costs so they will comply with your request to simply ask them a list of questions in order to help you with your issue.
"What are the organisation obliged to do after a complaint is made to them?
"What action needs to be taken to make a claim?
There is no reason not to take your own documents with you and keep them in your bag. It may just be the case that you feel that you cannot avoid bringing them out for a matter of reference or self-reassurance but be aware the clock will be ticking and the legal advisor will hold a wealth of information. Information is knowledge and the more of that you have the better. We do not all have the luxury of money or time with a solicitor so this is simply a way gaining maximum benefit of knowledge from this very often 'free' nugget of opportunity whilst we are deciding. Good luck.

You can also get online advice from CAB through a web chat here: https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/about-us/contact-us/web-chat-service/ which might be useful for those with mobility issues.
An excellent review full of valuable information for the would-be PHSO complainant. It's all the things you can do or get up to speed with whilst the authorities take their time to pass you back and forth for months (years, even), playing for time as the clock ticks towards the time limit (from the original offence) for you to take legal action. With the NHS (for instance) and the PHSO (most certainly), the detail is in what you will not be told and, despite already being under pressure with other domestic matters and, conceivably likely to be in a state of shock or grief, you have to be prepared for little sense in the final 'outcome', and the dismissals and put-downs these organisations will deal out.
