Last year (in)famous megagame designer Jim Wallman made a trip to frozen Montréal to run New World Order 2035 at McGill University, with some one hundred or so players taking part. It was a big success.
Last week Jim made a return visit for War in Binni, this year's McGill megagame. Again, approximately one hundred persons participated in the day-long event, most of them McGill students. The event was cosponsored by PAXsims, the International Relations Students' Association of McGill (IRSAM), and the McGill Political Science Students' Association (PSSA).
War in Binni has been run several times before elsewhere, notably at last year's Connections UK interdisciplinary wargaming conference at King's College London. The theme of a civil war in a fictional country in West Africa was of particular interest to students, including those in my POLI 450 and POLI 650 peacebuilding courses. We'll be running our own even larger, week-long Brynania civil war simulation later in the term. However, unlike the Connections/KCL version, the game at McGill included a significant "weird science" component, with a touch of both Lovecraft and Indiana Jones. The event was held in excellent space New Residence Hall, including a large ballroom, two conference rooms, a foyer (and cloakroom), an integrated audio and data projectors. The staff were helpful as ever.
I should also note that almost half (41%) of our our participants were women—and, moreover, they all paid to participate. This was similar to last year. Those who argue that women are somehow uninterested in political-military gaming clearly have no idea what they are talking about.
We started off with a basic orientation to the game from Jim. Rules and maps had been posted online before the game, and individual role briefings had been emailed to all players about a week beforehand.
Action at the map table, as the Clewgists celebrate a victory.
While the government, various rebel groups, and regional actors vied for territory and influence, shady international arms dealers sold weapons to the highest bidder, the UN Security Council met in emergency sessions, and humanitarian aid workers struggled to cope with a growing flood of refugees.
The United Nations Security Council meets.
Heavy fighting takes a heavy toll on civilians, forcing many to flee.
The Clewgists mourn the destruction of their sacred grove by a rival militia.
Three archaeological digs were also at work in the war-torn country. These soon uncovered increasingly unusual findings. These included evidence of alien technology, and various occult items with mysterious powers.
An archaeologist briefs the French ambassador.
Little did the players know that, hidden among the participants were a small group of secret cultists. This group managed to obtain key objects from the digs, perform a dark ritual, and summon an Elder God of unspeakable power. The huge creature appeared atop Mount Clewg, and began to rampage through the country, destroying everything in its path.
An extradimensional creature appears atop Mount Clewg.
The international community responded with a barrage of cruise missile attacks and bombing strikes, but these did minimal damage. Researchers at McGill University utilized one of their archaeological finds to slow the thing's progress. Regional powers revealed that they had all been secretly researching WMD, and unleashed chemical weapons and radiological missiles. However it was the Kingdom of Gao, in alliance with Christian and Muslim rebel groups and the local Clewgist tribal insurgents, that inflicted the most damage, severely damaging the creature with an alien death ray before a suicidal charge by the Clewgists destroyed the evil abomination.
Militias (and Gao) unite to destroy the terror.
As all this was happening, the government of Binni—afflicted by plummeting domestic political support and the assassination of the President—finally agreed on peace terms with the main opposition alliance. Peace had come… but at what cost? And what does the future hold for Binni?
Overall I thought that Binni went even better than NWO 2035. There were, perhaps, several reasons for this.
First, everyone seemed to internalize their roles very quickly, and game play was generally credible and "realistic" (or as realistic as it can be in a game featuring alien technology and an Elder God).
The Global (later, Galactic) News Network at work.
Second, our Global News Network team did a terrific job of getting information out to the players. The GNN website contained a few in-depth stories, most of which had been written in advance by the Control team to be released during the initial game turns. Most news was carried on the GNN Twitter feed. Special "breaking news" announcements were made over the audio system, sometimes only a few seconds after the event had occurred. The GNN team also did an excellent job of investigative reporting, using covert reporters and in-country teams to considerable effect. They resisted the temptation to report rumours as facts, or believe or print everything they were told.
US vetoes resolution to send cruise missiles against Cthulhu; every other member of the UNSC acts unilaterally fires their missiles.
I know from previous large games how important the media role is. It also requires players who understand their importance in the game process (acting, in some senses, as an element of the Control team), and enjoy acting as journalists: verifying, investigating, uncover secrets, and breaking important stories.
Third, War in Binni had fewer rules than NWO 2035, and game systems were generally more simple and straight-forward. This allowed players to focus on role-playing and interaction rather than understanding rules, and facilitated the sort of creative, emergent gameplay that is at the heart of a successful megagame.
As a matter of interest, were the players informed that there was a 'weird science' element to this game when they signed up? I would have been rather hacked off to have that thrown in without warning if I'd paid to participate in a game that ostensibly sought to simulate a realistic crisis.
It was hinted at in the advance materials, and I suspect many players guessed given last year's game.
Interestingly the core POL-MIL stuff was in no way adversely affected by the archaeology/weird science element. Indeed, I thought it was truer to real life than the Binni game at Connections UK, where there was no weird science element and the players were generally wargamers and national security professionals. A fairly large proportion of the students have done coursework on civil wars, field research on conflict-affected countries, or participate in model UN, which may have upped their insurgency and diplomatic game.

Welcome back to The Power of Data Podcast, and I have the huge pleasure and privilege of today being joined by Akhil Lalwani, who's Chief Data Officer at Convex. Welcome Akhil.
Akhil 00:10
Hi, Sam, thank you for having me on the show and letting me share a bit of my experience.
We've been looking forward to this one for a few reasons. We've been spending a lot of time at D&B thinking over the last 12 months really about the digital inflection that insurance has been going through, particularly sped up by COVID-19. But really, you've not been in insurance for all that long. And it seems you might have just timed the move to Convex perfectly. Can you tell our listeners a little bit about your career and what led you to where you are today?
I've been here four months now, it seems a lot longer than that, but yes. So I joined convex in the mid of May through the whole Covid situation, which is quite interesting. I started my career in Telecom, so spent quite a few years with British Telecom then moved into banking, spent six years there. I did an interesting stint through Barclays with a consortium of banks and law enforcement agencies where we use the power of data and technology to disrupt criminal activities, which was quite fascinating. And then I spent a couple of years at Prudential PLC, which was my foray into insurance. Being the head of their security data platforms and the security architecture, quite an interesting journey to take an old insurance company onto the cloud and into the world of digital. And then I went back to doing what I enjoyed the most, using data and technology to drive growth, revenue and customer satisfaction. I got the opportunity to actually drive the digital agenda for Prudential, kind of do my part in their journey of establishing data led ecosystems for health and wealth management, which was fascinating and now I'm here at Convex.
Awesome, I think you might have just given us a new tagline, I love that, doing what you love helping companies with revenue growth and customer satisfaction. And that really is right at the core of what we also do at D&B so I've been looking forward to this podcast for that exact reason. And just thinking about it, you and I actually must have overlapped to Barclays about a decade ago, which is a small world, sort of small world. As Chief Data Officer at Convex, which is a relatively new player in the insurance space, and as you know, we've had your founder, CEO and Chairman Steven Catlin on the podcast, and Convex are of course a partner of ours. But for any of our new listeners, what is Convex do in a nutshell, and what is the organization set out to achieve that makes it as unique as it is? And it really is a unique greenfield approach to the industry.
That's true actually. So just a quick background, it was Stephen Catlin and Paul Brown, who launched Convex in 2019, we had an initial committed capital of $1.7 billion. Essentially, Convex is an international specialty insurance, and we do insurance, reinsurance, complex risk, and based essentially, out of London and Bermuda. You know, given I'm new to this space, I didn't know what Convex was, but once you kind of get to know the space, and then you understand what they're trying to do, I think it is quite fascinating. The ethos of Convex is we want to be different, we want to service our customers better. And we do want to do things differently. And having been here four months, I can tell you, they actually live by that. We are trying to change the way the insurance industry works through the small things that we are doing inside Convex. And the best thing for me is there is a lot of diversity of thought and approach. And we really do feel that we put the customer at the heart of every conversation that we have.
You're right when you talk about you meet with Paul or Stephen and the energy and insight and innovation that these guys are bringing to the industry is really quite remarkable. To raise $1.7 billion of committed capital out of the gates as a new business is remarkable. But when you meet the people that are leading Convex, you get it, immediately. And you feel that energy. I was leaving a restaurant with Steven near Leadenhall Market, and a young professional came up to Steven and he stopped him and just said, Steven, I want to thank you, you gave me my first opportunity in the insurance industry when you were leading Catlin, and it's changed the trajectory of my career, and you were a wonderful inspirational leader. And it's moments like that, that you realize just how big – not the opportunity as an innovative insurer is, but specifically the opportunity with wonderful leadership like that. It's a really special thing.
And when you think about the insurance industry, it's typically been viewed a little bit slower when it comes to the transformation and evolution of the industry. There's a lot of reasons for that. But when it comes to technology and data, I think today is the fastest it's ever moved. And it's a really exciting time, if I had said to you Akhil that no one would be in Lloyds of London, writing insurance and then queuing at little desks, and going for drinks in Leadenhall Market, for a year, or for the majority of 2020, you just wouldn't believed it. And so, for some insurances, a CDO might be quite an innovative and new role. But for me, I think at this moment is probably the most important. So it'd be interesting to hear from you what prior experiences in the technology and banking spaces you're gonna leverage to apply to specialty insurance, at this critical moment.
I think we are completing the new transformative space and I think the Lloyd's of London example is quite relevant. I can tell you about my experience. And like I said, I joined mid lockdown, I haven't been to the office once, but it's not stopped me from doing my job effectively, and working with an interesting team. So I think all of us stand testament to the fact that we adapt, and we learn how to survive and actually do, you know, do a better job at it. In terms of data, the role of data and CDO is very new to the whole industry, I was chatting to somebody the other day, and we realized that seniors typically have been around for the last five or 10 years. If you asked me 15 years back, what does a CDO mean, it was somebody who does something with data, and is typically associated with organizations which are far more internet savvy, which are dealing with vast volumes of data. It was only banking that started picking up and saying we need to do better things with our data. And that's how the role of a CDO came about in the financial services space. And then everybody else kind of started realizing the value of it, so I wouldn't say insurance has been extremely slow, I think they've just been trying to adapt, modernize in what they've been doing and trying to do that with data was the obvious next choice.
So what we got to remember is challenges that, at least in my experience, that I find with insurance are not net new. So we're not ready to do something that's not really been solved elsewhere. So it's useful to actually have experience from outside the industry and bring that in, and leverage that to basically be able to jumpstart what essentially insurance wants to achieve in the space of both data and technology, which is quite a good thing in my view, because you don't have to kind of rebuild everything from scratch. There'll be a lot of net new things that we end up doing in insurance, which is what excites me, you know, the introduction of things like IoT being more proactive around our claims management process, which actually bring that differentiation. But just to jumpstart, we can leverage what people have done outside and bring it to the world of insurance. So for me, technology has necessarily not been a priority for insurance but I think that mindset is changing, which is brilliant and for me, it's a great time to be able to be a part of that journey, and take Convex and the insurance industry along a path where we can realize the true potential of data.
Awesome and, you know, there's so many interesting trends that are happening at the moment, because of the world that we live in today. Bringing those experiences to Convex is really going to set the business apart. And COVID-19 has created a ton of different trends and interesting opportunities. But some of them have been there for a long time and some of them are very disruptive to the insurance industry. You've got consumer trends that are changing the impact of the entire value chain, you've got this competitive shift, you have consolidation across brokers and insurance, and insurers across all business lines, different product innovations happening. There's other trends and stakeholder management, we've got governments that are looking with laser focus at insurers at the moment. And the Pandemic Re initiative that Stephen is leading on and D&B are involved in, from a data perspective, is a fascinating example of that. We've got disruptors that are coming to the fore, and then of course, we've got technology and the rise of all sorts of new technology trends like IoT, AI and smart technologies that are providing opportunity for insurers to look at it differently. What impact do you think COVID-19 will have on the sector in terms of digital modernization? And are there any key trends that you're seeing that you expect to really come to the fore in the next 12 months?
I think we already seeing some of the impacts that COVID has had on the industry that are known tangible impacts. We've started testing our workforce a lot more, we can now believe that we can all work remotely and be as effective, if not be more effective than we already were. It's given people space and time to manage their personal life and their professional life. So that's kind of the softer aspects of thing. And I think there's a lot more focus on employee well-being as a result of the current situation, which I think it's a positive. In terms of digital acceleration and growth, I think we all have to acknowledge that Covid has forced everybody and not just insurance to rethink their strategies and understand their digital and data roadmaps. We were lucky at Convex, it's quite a digital enabled organization, we've been on the cloud since the day we started. All of our onboarding was seamless, I just got everything delivered to my doorstep, I just plugged in, and I was ready to go. So we've been able to leverage all of that because we just started a year back. But we've had to think about how do we interact more digitally, with our clients, with our brokers with our customers. How do we become agile in our interactions and try and be there for our customers when they really need us. So it's a period where we've had to evaluate our overall strategy and think how digitalization can actually help us in these strange times.
Yeah if we talk about digitalization and some of the firms that are approaching it differently. I mean, we've got companies like Lemonade, they've had a fascinating time in recent years and have raised substantial capital. But insurance is ultimately about risk analysis. And Daniel Schreiber, the CEO of lemonade, is a huge believer in data analysis. He actually said once that he would rather hire a data scientist than an underwriter. How true do you think that sentiment is? And I remember when he hired, it must be three years ago, approximately, a Chief Behavioral Officer, that was a real first in the industry, do you see Convex thinking about new roles to adapt to this new world?
I'm a strong believer of having the right person for the right job. So I won't necessarily agree or disagree with Daniel, but if you think about purely these roles of underwriting and data scientists, I think they're complementary roles, I don't think one replaces the other in my view. So you're right, you know, our main job is writing better risk and writing better risk not just for Convex, but for our customers as well and helping them when they need us. So the underwriters bring that experience that they have across the industry, the knowledge and the understanding of the risk landscape, and the overall market and our customer base as well, and what they really need. And what our data scientists do is complement that decision process with data points that essentially you not be able to crunch as, as humanly possible. Since taking better informed risk decisions, which is the core of our business, which is enabled by this complementary skill set that these two roles bring together, I don't think one necessarily replaces the other.
I think that's a very astute position on it. Perhaps Lemonade was a bad example, I just looked at their share price, and it's actually about half of what it that it was on its 52 week high. Maybe a bad example. While we're on the subject of talent, let's go a little bit further. And because we're reaching this inflection point in the industry, it is important, I think, to bring in new people fresh ideas, and bring real diversity to the industry, which perhaps hasn't always been the case. What should the industry do in your mind to ensure that it's fostering a diverse and inclusive culture, and are there certain areas where you think more focus needs to be given?
This is a timely question, but I think this is not just for the insurance industry, this is important for industries that truly want to move forward with being more digitally and data enabled. I've been through a fair few industries in my career, and what I've realized is everything that I learned in one industry could easily be translated and leveraged in the next place that I went to, and then I learned something new there and I brought that experience to the next place that I went to. Which is what was really fascinating and really interesting for me, and honestly kept me going and doing this again and again.
Diversity is very important, when it comes to culture, you should be able to create an environment where people with different mindsets, people with different experiences, people with different thought processes, are welcome and they can contribute to the overall growth of the organization. That's something that I really like about Convex. Through the four months that I've been here, I can already see that you are encouraged, everybody's put in a place where they are encouraged to think differently. And their voices heard and a challenge as long as it is driving us in the right direction is a brilliant thing to have because that's how we think innovatively and differently. What really important is, for us to understand, where are the gaps? Where are the key gaps? And how we fill those gaps? And how do we partner with universities? How do we tap into net new talent? How do we encourage them? How do we look at roles that we need, for example, this whole role around data scientists going back to the previous question. Where do we need them? Where do we apply the skill sets? Where are the best fit? How do we marry them up with existing experience that we have in the insurance space, bring them together and drive the business forward? I think as long as you can do that we attract the right talent from different industries and allow them to challenge us in the right way, I think to be the right path for us to set up that all-inclusive culture in insurance and make sure we can actually cause a wave of differentiation.
Yeah, I'm a passionate subscriber to everything you've just said. And actually I think under Inga Beale's reign at Lloyd's of London, she did a really nice job of championing diversity and I think having a central marketplace, championing diversity and being at the forefront of the industry was a really important move at a really timely moment for the sector in the UK and I hope that it continues to be the case. And based on all your various roles and experiences, if you were speaking to someone, I don't know, a young professional, someone leaving university is just starting out in the industry, what would be your piece of advice?
For me what's really helped me is don't be afraid of challenging the status quo. People do what they do, because that's what has made them successful. And it's very difficult to see the other side of the coin. So if you have the ability to challenge them, challenge them positively, and drive an effective change in behavior and outcomes, I think you should never shy away from doing that. So I think that's really important. A lot of people have told me through my career saying, oh, you came from Telecom, you can't be in banking. Oh, now you made it a banking now you can't make it under insurance. And I'm sure, the next thing that I end up doing, I will hear the same thing. What is key for me is actually this diversity of experience has always helped me move forward. So don't be afraid, if you're trying to move from one place to another. Insurance is truly exciting at this standpoint, they really need that diversity of thought, they really need that diversity of leadership, they really need that diversity of experience. So don't be afraid is what I would tell anybody who wants to come in.
Okay, so you know, right there, you were talking to a 20-year-old, and at Dun and Bradstreet, our mission in insurance, is to help power the next paradigm. So if I asked you to just fast forward 10 years, what does that next paradigm look like to you? What does insurance in 10 years look like? What are the changes that happened?
I think I expect insurance to be more customer centric. Right now it is more risk centric. So we look at a risk and we qualify the risk and we want to look at risk in a certain way, if that makes sense for us and for the customer. I think we need to be more customer centric, we need to be much more digitally enabled, a lot of people draw comparisons to banking and other sectors, and you know, I think those comparisons are not very accurate, because we are different, we are unique in the sense of how we deal with our customers and the way the market is set up. I do believe that there is a lot of scope for automation, there's a lot of scope for being proactive, being there for our customer when they really need us and before they need us, us servicing them. So I think these facets will improve the way we exchange data, the way we manage information across the industry will change significantly. And I can already see that we're taking steps in the right direction. So for me, that sounds really interesting for the next 10 years if I think about how we will be more digitally enabled.
Tell me this then, if in a future world, there's more automation, and digitization, you've managed to lower what today for insurers is a relatively high cost for customer acquisition, where do you invest that money, what are the big investment areas as a Chief Data Officer that you will focus on?
I think we've always been traditionally not great at managing the quality of our data, the understanding of the data, and using that data effectively to drive excellent customer experience and operational efficiency. And we never use data effectively in our decisioning process, we always use the experience of people. So I think if we can invest our money back into these facets of data management end to end, and bringing that appreciation of data right into the heart of the operations where everybody understands that they own the data and they have a responsibility for it, I think that'd be a great place to be in because then you would have an organization where people and processes are empowered and aligned with your data strategy, and driving reliable, trusted outcomes. I think that will be a fascinating combination.
Well, that sounds to me like a challenge for Dun and Bradstreet and a good place to change the topic to a lighter finish for the podcast. If you had to debunk one myth about the insurance industry, what would it be?
It's interesting I got asked this question by an old colleague of mine, saying you're in insurance, what do you think, they seem old, and they seem very slow and they don't like to change. Honestly, I can tell you in my experience, at Convex, one thing that you want to do is change the perception that insurance wants to operate the way it's operated for the last 200, 300 odd years. And it's not innovative. It's not forward thinking and it is not there for its customers. I think that is completely untrue. And after speaking to a few of my peers in the industry, everybody's trying to change that and take really positive steps in that direction. So for me, the industry is clearly looking for great talent, and is looking for ideas to be differentiated. And we all understand that we are all customers of this experience, right? No matter what we do on a day to day basis, we are shopping on Amazon, we are on Netflix. The reason we like those platforms and those products is because they give us what we need and much beyond that, so they're thinking about us. I think that is what insurance is aiming to be. We want to think about our customers before we think about anything else. So if there's one thing that I would like to tell people is that you can be a part of the change, there's a great opportunity to actually make that differentiation. So come join us and we are, you know, we are ripe for change.
I love it. Akhil, thank you so much for joining us on the power of data podcast. It's a privilege to have you on it. It's a privilege to be a partner of yours, as Dun and Bradstreet, and thank you for such an insightful conversation.

Central Magnet wins classic to earn state berth
Greg Thompson
Chattanooga Times Free Press
CHATTANOOGA – The players from both Boyd-Buchanan and Murfreesboro Central Magnet were physically and emotionally drained by the time Saturday night's Class A/AA state soccer sectional had reached the 108th minute in what developed into a sudden-death-overtime classic match.
The visiting Tigers, who had mounted increasing pressure on the Buccaneers during the final overtime period, lined up for what they knew might be the last corner kick of the match. At that moment, Tigers junior midfielder Finn Mullen felt a final burst of energy and sensed an opportunity.
Finding a loose ball that had deflected off the corner kick, Mullen struck the ball that sent Central Magnet to the TSSAA Spring Fling with a 1-0 victory.
The Bucs, who lose one senior from their roster, immediately fell to the ground in agony — having fallen to the Tigers in a sectional for a second straight year. They were less than 120 seconds away from a second postseason penalty-kick shootout.
Mullen and his teammates were equally exhausted, but they were charged with the elation that their season would be continuing this week at the state tournament.
"We have practiced corners all season and it's been a strong suit for us. If we were going to score, we knew it would probably be off a corner," Mullen said. "I could feel the 'chi' flowing through my body. I saw the keeper to the right and I hit it to the left.
"It was just a little bit of an opening, but it was there," he added. "It was there in the 108th minute and we were able to finish it. We matched up opportunities with each other tonight pretty well. They had almost as many opportunities as we did, and they were really tough."
Both teams had handfuls of near-miss chances, including shots sliding wide of open nets and the ringing clanks of shots hitting the posts and crossbars. Bucs midfielder Will Boyaton made the stop of the match when he covered an opening at the net during the first five-minute, sudden-death OT period and chested a shot away from the goal.
Will Greer, Ross Wortman and John Barber provided strength on the Bucs' backline, limiting the Tigers to four shots in the first half and 10 for regulation. The counterpart defense of Will Vermillio, Jordan Scango and Ryan Cornelison kept the Bucs' chances in check throughout regulation and in overtime.
Offensively, Zavier Phillips led most of the rushes for the Tigers (18-2-2), while Donald Ingram, lone senior Hunter Bradford and eighth-grader Hayes Wood mounted the offensive pressure for the Bucs (14-4-3).
"Boyd made us work harder than we have all season," said Central Magnet coach Ray Bennett. "I am very grateful for the opportunity to be advancing, and Boyd deserved to be going with us. It's just unfortunate that only one team moves on. But I am so grateful for the way it ended."
"Central Magnet is a great team," said Boyd-Buchanan co-coach Dustin Walker. "We wanted it for our boys and our boys wanted it bad. It's horrible that one team has to lose that game when it goes back and forth like that.
"Most of our guys are young and we have a little more work to do to get to where we want to be," he added. "But I think we are close. We've got a great group of guys who play with a lot of heart, and we are excited about next year. We would have loved for it to be this year for these guys. We want them to have that opportunity. It just didn't happen for us tonight."

Ekiti 2018: Fayemi Gets Campaign Team For Election
August 03, 2017 News, Politics
Loyalists of former Ekiti State Governor, Kayode Fayemi, on Thursday set up a campaign structure, JKF Movement, for his yet-to-be declared ambition to run for the 2018 governorship race.
The JKF Movement, is a platform raised to mobilise voters and sell the candidacy of the Minister of Mines and Steel Development in all polling units, wards, local government areas and senatorial districts in the state.
They said the move was premised on what they called "the reality on ground today in the state indicating that we have missed a great opportunity in our failure to continue to enjoy Dr. Fayemi's services as demonstrated by the unprecedented development witnessed during his four-year tenure."
Speaking after its inauguration in Ado-Ekiti, the state capital, Chairman of JKF Movement, Pastor Ade Kolade, explained that the main focus of the group was to champion Fayemi's development vision and ideals and to create awareness that "the current stalment in Ekiti's development process can be reversed."
He said Ekiti has retrogressed since Fayemi left office three years ago hence the need to encourage him to come back to power and continue his development agenda for Ekiti to join the league of developed states in Nigeria and a model of good governance.
Speaking on the exoneration of Fayemi by the Oba Ademola Ajakaiye-led special panel which investigated the ex-governor on the alleged
mismanagement of N852 million State Universal basic Education (SUBEB) funds, Kolade called on Fayose to disband the Judicial Commission of Inquiry to probe his (Fayemi's) four-year tenure.
Kolade said: "We condemn Governor Fayose for setting up a Judicial Commission of Inquiry to probe Fayemi after an earlier panel he raised to probe the former governor had exonerated him in the SUBEB loan allegation in Access Bank.
"We advise him (Fayose) to disband the (judicial) panel immediately because we see it as a witch-hunting tactic to ruin Fayemi's integrity and put his sterling records in jeopardy and leave his political credentials in tatters
"To come back to the path of development again, we call on Dr. Kayode Fayemi to come back and restore the lost glory of the state because Ekiti cannot afford to take another risk anymore."
Director of JKF Centre, Mr. Biodun Omoleye, said, "Ekiti is witnessing its darkest moment in her history" with standard of living falling everyday urging the people of the state to take their destiny in their hands by aligning with the Fayemi vision to restore the glory years.
He regretted that development partners have left the state while many businesses and banks are closing down owing to "harsh policies" of the current government.

Bad angle, sat down well slumped more like. But it doesn't want to play fair. I may need a bag with more convexity to keep the poo from killing my skin. My stoma has decided to go oval! It really doesn't like being overly helpful the sod. I thought I had more granulomas but apparently it has something to do with the remnants of my tattoo. I don't understand why in the slightest but who am I to dispute the specialist!
I have to admit I was crushed by a small innocent comment, now I have said time and time again how lovely my nurses both are. She had asked if I had put on some weight because my stomach wasn't as slim as it was last time. Now I have only put on 4lb in 7 weeks (I haven't checked the last week and a half so I am now pretty scared to check) Not even kidding I text 00Steve saying that was it I was going on a diet, portion controlling to the max, calorie counting because I was clearly huge.
But anyway back to my appointment minus my horrible thoughts about myself. I will be picking up a box of Coloplast SenSura Mio tomorrow and I will be sure to let you know how they go! Also fingers crossed for me that I make it to pilates tomorrow night!!

Family Of Four Hospitalized After Police Chase Ends In Crash On Detroit's West Side
Two suspects were in custody at the hospital.
August 08, 2019 - 12:08 am
DETROIT (WWJ) -- Multiple people are hospitalized after a police chase ended in a crash on Detroit's west side.
Police say officers attempted to stop a Ford Mustang 10 p.m. Wednesday when the car took off. Officers pursued the Mustang that, according to multiple reports, turned its lights off before crashing into an SUV near Mark Twain and Lyndon Streets, east of Hubbell Avenue.
The SUV was driven by a 44-year-old mother with three children -- a 16-year-old girl and 16- and 14-year-old boys; all were taken to the hospital, though the extent of their injuries is unknown.
Two suspects, ages 30 and 33, were also injured in the crash and transported to the hospital. Both are in custody.
Detroit police reported that the officers disengaged from the chase before the crash happened.
No further details were available.

It's a fact — Florida strawberry growers produce some of the sweetest, reddest and juiciest strawberries known to man. And they bring fresh beautiful fruit to market during a season when many regions of the country are blanketed with snow.
Just how Florida farmers manage to do this year after year is a story that deserves to be told. Jammer, a talking, singing, animated and oh so sweet strawberry, is the perfect character to do just that.
Jammer Saves the Farm is a 12-minute, fun-filled educational video. It takes kids from kindergarten through third grade (and fun-loving adults, too) through the unique and sometimes tricky process of growing strawberries, specifically in Florida. The fact is, a lot of folks don't realize that Florida is an important strawberry producing state.
The video is a show-and-tell about how on a dark, cold, stormy night Jammer and his friends save a Florida strawberry farm. In the video, Jammer details the importance of irrigation to protect tender strawberry plants during freezing weather conditions, the role that bees play in pollination, and the nutritional benefits of strawberries.
For those wanting a light-hearted, condensed look at the life cycle of a strawberry plant, Jammer explains it all — from preparing the beds to bringing the crop to market.
Friendly, fun-loving Jammer is the mascot for the Florida Strawberry Growers Association. His image is on billboards, in specially designed coloring books, and on containers of Florida strawberries themselves.
A live, costumed Jammer makes personal appearances at special events in Florida. Jammer even has his own Facebook page. Take a look and become a fan.
Fresh Florida winter strawberries are available each year from Thanksgiving to Easter.
Invite Jammer to Your School!
Please fill in the information below and submit your request. Thank you!
In 1980, a few strawberry growers began meeting in their homes to discuss the best way to organize a group that would represent the interests of the Florida strawberry industry. On February 11, 1982, the Florida Strawberry Growers Association (FSGA) was born.
Hillsborough County is recognized as the Winter Strawberry Capital of the World and the home of some of the sweetest, reddest and juiciest strawberries around.

'Face the Music' will see Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves return to their respective titular alter egos Bill S. Preston, Esq. and Ted 'Theodore' Logan, who in the two previous movies - 1989's 'Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure', and 1991's 'Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey' - were metalhead slackers who travel through time.
The third instalment picks up in the future when both Bill and Ted have wives - played by Erinn Hayes and Jayma Mays - as well as each having a daughter, Thea Preston and Billie Logan, who will be played by Samara Weaving and Brigette Lundy-Paine respectively.
Bill and Ted have yet to fulfill their rock'n'roll dreams, but have their lives changed when Kelly (Schaal) visits them from the future to warn them that only their song can save life as we know it.
A description for the movie reads: "Yet to fulfil their rock and roll destiny, the now middle-aged best friends set out on a new adventure, when a visitor from the future warns them that only their song can save life as we know it and bring harmony to the universe.

Cloning human beings has fascinated artists for dozens of years. Already in 1932 Aldous Huxley published his classical novel Brave New World which deals with this issue. In Benjamin W. Bova's The Multiple Man, published in 1976, several completely identical bodies of ….. the president of the United States are found. In that same year, Ira Levin's famous novel The Boys from Brazil, on which the famous film was based, was published too, comprising of scenes that depict the reduplication of Adolph Hitler by neo-Nazies. Years later, in 1993, Stephen Spielberg's film Jurassic Park portrayed the revival of dinosaurs which was made possible by implanting their genetic material into frogs' ova.
In literary fantasies, such as The Boys from Brazil and Jurassic Park, the cloning technique was based on the notion that one can take an ovum, destroy the information in it, and replace it with genetic information taken from a cell belonging to a different animal or a grown person.
Today this technique is no longer a mere fictional fantasy concocted by cinema and literature creators. The successful cloning of Dolly the sheep in 1997 brought up the possibility of cloning humans. In 1999 a human embryo was grown in a laboratory dish. This embryo was produced, from tip to toe, in an American company's biotechnological laboratory which has taken on the challenge of devising a technology whereby human "spare parts" could eventually be grown. This explicit goal is to make the embryo cells evolve into a perfect organ, any organ: a liver, a lung, a bone or even a brain, which would be implantable in a human body. In this way, theoretically, we can also let the embryo evolve into a whole baby – strictly a test tube product.
Looking ahead, human cloning should give rise to huge developments in fundamental and applicable studies of the processes of life, renewal of growth in injured tissues, control over cancer cells' reproduction and more. Such cloning, however, would entail experimentation in humans, which evokes concerns regarding possible mishaps during those experiments, which can cause severe suffering to subjects and tremendous social changes: deterioration of current moral restrictions, and the resurfacing of Eugenics – the abuse of this knowledge by sinister totalitarian regimes. Aside from these scenarios, problem are bound to arise, questions such as the cloned person's legal status, or possible abatement of their status due to society's expectation of them to accurately mimic the behavior of their originator.
Bell Shafir does not pose any judgmental stand inclined this way or another with regard to cloning in the works she displays in this exhibition. In her studio-lab she is the "hailed victor" and she is one entrusted, as a modern day scientist, with the meticulous artistic craft of cloning and intervention in processes of humans coming into being.
In this craft Shafir incorporates laboratory utensils such as syringes, plastic tubules, glass test tubes, Petri dishes, substrates, and marking tags, along with pieces of tissue or embryos in early stages of development she "constructs" from plastered bandages, skeins of cotton and hair, golden threads, gold and silver laminas, shiny stones and pearls. Out of these amorphic embryonic figures, legs and arms emerge, an implied shape of a human body or strings of recombinant DNA. These gentle objects are put on display like some rare jewelry inside well lit and locked up glass-front cabinets.
Next to the three dimensional pieces, Bell draws embryonic figures in ink on hundreds of identification tags whose laces she braided to infinite strings. Besides drawing the figures on the tags, Bell draws them, almost ritually, on dozens of thick album pages or pieces of paper which she glues onto plywood slates.
Should the cloning in Shafir's laboratory go sour, and a two headed or deformed embryonic mutation is "conceived", Bell Shafir then wraps it with thousands of bright pearl shaded sequins as she slowly and painstakingly glues them on, or she would plate her coned "creation" with glittering snippets of gold leafs, so as to dispel the initial fear from the distorted outcome by means of this glamorous exterior. In this sense the artist's works seem seductive at first, attesting to her occupation with sparkling clean jewelry craftsmanship. But looking closer, these jewels turn out to be made of fake artificial materials, and the more we reexamine them, the better we perceive the artist's deliberate act of deceit which induces repulsion and anxiety in us, an act that perfectly correlates to the technical act of cloning performed in biotechnological laboratories where whole series of manmade reproductions are made.
It is said that the Greek mathematician, physicist and inventor Archimedes, who was also one of the forefathers of the fields of engineering, contested: "Give me a place to stand on, and I will move the Earth."
It seems that Bell Shafir, aware like many of us of the dramatic developments in the field of genetic engineering, heredity and cloning, has found that turning point in the portrait of our world and in our view of the living creatures in it, a fulcrum that managed to unsettle her as it does us all.

Veterans on a WLO nature trek in the San Bernardino mountains.
John Muir has written about Mother Nature's ability to offer a sense of belonging that lost, longing and tired spirits run to for reprieve and rest. Research has shown that repetitive and rhythmic activities such as walking or hiking may have a direct therapeutic effect on PTSD and reducing stress. Experiential Therapy groups have conducted research and it has consistently shown, "Improved self-esteem, increased self-efficacy, improved behavior and reduced recidivism" (Http://whatworksforhealth.wisc.edu/program.php).
WLO offers, at no charge to the veteran, experiential adventure though a 5-day wilderness trek on the Pacific Crest Trail. Twice each year, a group of 5-8 veterans join with caring mental health counselors, and instructors in a shared healing journey, designed to help them through a variety of healing modalities. Through the Trek, WLO has the opportunity to share many different holistic practices in the natural environment of the wilderness. Through previous WLO lead excursions, Vets have found shared camaraderie and find being with like minded and spirited combat veterans is comfortable and nurturing.
Veterans will experience each other and experience the comfort and healing that can be provided through WLO practitioners and volunteers. These people will become mentors to our Combat Veteran participants and continue to have contact with their mentors as they finish the trek and move through their scholarship program.
The journey helps to get Combat Veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan to step into the ease of healing the outdoors has to offer. Being out on the trail allows veterans to get in touch with our deeper sense of self, to develop the courage to face fear, and have a vision of the self that lies beyond the trauma. Support is for a vision of new life possibilities is key when dealing with symptoms of PTSD.
For information about the date of the next trek check out the Events page.
For new and returning veterans that are interested in participating in an upcoming trek, we ask that you fill out the assessment form below and bring it to your next visit to Eight Elements West.

Avez-vous séjourné à Cesenatico? Laissez-nous un commentaire et nous aider à améliorer.
I stayed here at this very reasonably price hotel for 5 nights – I had a single room which was kept very very clean, shower was fine had bidet and toilet and balcony with a sea view. The position is very close to the heart of Cesenatico overlooking the harbour with views of the boats going in and out and just a very short walk to the shops and excellent restaurants. There are new owners Dario and Illaria (sorry if I have spelled that incorrectly), brother and sister – what a really lovely couple, couldn't be more helpful, anything we asked for we greeted with a lovely smile.
The breakfast was basic but fine for me as I like to eat out at lunch. Drinks at the bar were again very reasonably priced. If you want a good priced holiday in a great location with great hosts then this is the place to go – I'll be going back there if I'm in Cesenatico again.

Discernment begins with each person attending to their own spiritual formation – paying attention to what's going on inside themselves. Have I learned to pay attention to the voice of God's community?
We'll be visiting the topic of 'Listening to Each Other's Voice' this coming Sunday. Here is something written by an anonymous author on the same topic.
Theme – In a world of three billion voices it can be difficult to believe that my voice matters. This week's theme will discover some of the ways that we can recover our voice. We can then live confidently knowing that we speak with God's authority. To do this, we need to be very sure of our Father's voice, and then allow His voice to speak to the important things in our lives.
I recently was reading a book on resilience that told of one young boy's journey through incredible difficulty. This young Jewish boy was taken in by a French couple, and hidden in a room by a couple for six months to escape capture by the Germans.
During this time in solitude, he wasn't allowed to go outside the room or to make a noise. In the space, he occupied his time by constant pacing and then rocking back and forward. He also spent a lot of time lying on his back and licking his knees.
After six months, he was discovered by the Germans and taken to a concentration camp. But rather than seeing his entry to the concentration camp as horrific, he describes it as a relief. In his account, he describes the connections that he was able to develop in the camp; even though it was a place of death and cruelty. His memories primarily center around the games he played with the other children, and the relationships formed with the older prisoners.
The relief was because he was able to reconnect to people. He no longer was forced to sit silently in a room by himself day in and day out.
The perceptions of this young boy are interesting and quite different to what we would expect. The horror that we envisage in the concentration camp, was eclipsed by the horror of no longer being heard. Being locked away in a place where his voice was no longer wanted, valued or connected, was soul destroying. Facing death in the concentration camp was a relief.
This morning we will first consider three ways that our world can demonstrate a lack of care for our voice. Then we will look at the way God talks to us. Finally we will look at how God affirms our voice. We recognize His voice, and He knows us, because we are His sheep.
What are the faces of not being heard?
The message of contempt is that the other person in the relationship is saying, "I am better than you." It's often done by people who feel insecure and have to seek to elevate their own position. The best way they have found to do this, is to put others down. Contempt is the choice for those who know no other way than to tread over others in their effort to feel a bit better about themselves. Their weapon is often sarcasm, the most common vocal expression of contempt.
Disrespect and humiliation are closely connected when a person is treated contemptuously. Contempt is one of the ugliest faces of not being heard. It seeks to humiliate a person and degrades their very being.
We live in a world where we are distracted to the point of breakdown. Each day throws an avalanche of information at us. We are expected to deal with this information and it's volume, and the way that we handle it has led to a new word: multi tasking.
Just as an aside there is one thing that we can add to our brain's mix. In the case of music, it's a little different. We have a special part of our brain for music, so we can listen to music while we do other things.
When we arrive in another's presence in a distracted state, we are not able to give them the attention they need to be fully heard. Have you ever tried to get people to turn their mobile phones off completely? In some contexts it can be so difficult, and the best we can do is to go silent. Which isn't silent because they will still vibrate, distracting those people, so they are unable to focus on your story, because they cannot wait to find out what that vibrating alert meant.
A number of years ago, I read Professor Manning Clark's, (the notable Australian historian) summary of Australia as a culture that doesn't believe in anything very much. At least we don't believe in anything enough to change what we do.
In the context of today's message, it's all about the way that we view people. I will never forget at a training event that I was a part of, we did the everyday thing of introducing ourselves to each other and telling each other our names. One person said, "Don't bother telling me your name. I am not interested because I won't see you after the next 6 weeks." And that summed up his attitude to other people!
Indifference says that you don't matter to me, you don't offer anything that can benefit me, so therefore I am not interested in your story.
I wrote this recently as I reflected on the fast arriving anniversary of my father's death. I allowed myself a moment of sadness as I thought about his voice and how it's now missing from my world. I don't hear his laughter, or his attempts to be funny, or his incessant questions any more. I realized that I miss these things and his presence in my life.
But, then I considered eternity, and realized that there is my Heavenly Father's voice that is speaking to me. And that in the context of eternity, this time now is a brief second where I don't hear my father's voice. But, I also realized that I haven't always been good at recognizing God's presence in my journey.
I thought about God's voice in my life as I reflected on what words I will hear throughout eternity, and I wrote this about the sound of God's whisper to me and to all humanity.
It's very easy to allow the din of the world to drown out God's voice. When I thought about my father's death I realized that I made myself too busy, too quickly, and I wasn't able to hear what God really wanted to say to me during my pain at that time.
When I wrote this line I was thinking: Who listens? I mean really listens? There are too many people, who are too busy, with too many problems that they are facing. Who could be bothered with me? Then I recognized God's listening.
The voice of love whispers, you child are heard by me.
Our Father speaks a beautiful language. It a language that understands when we repeat ourselves, when we go over and over the same things. When we say embarrassing things, when we cry, when we feel like we can't make another day, when we don't make sense, when we are angry, scared or alone..
John 9: 37-38 – After healing the blind man. Where do you see the Son of Man?
Then Jesus told the story in the Bible reading we had about the sheep and contrasting His voice with the voice of the Pharisees. The Pharisees showed a mix of contempt for Jesus, distraction with their relationship with God (the law got in the way), and indifference to the truth of the message Jesus brought.
"and they follow him because they know his voice".
Once we know His voice, then we can speak with new confidence, with authority and with power, because we know we have been heard; and that God and our lives now bear witness to Eternity's breath speaking through us.
This section concludes with John 10:10: here is my voice. I have come that you may have life, eternal life. Recognize this and make it your voice too. Speak the words of eternity.
Time to turn to me.
That can be heard by all.
You child are heard by me.
Theme – To really understand God's voice requires us to listen to each other. God created His community to enable us to hear each other.
What are the ways we can learn to listen to each other better?
to stay out of the way of their thoughts.
I will listen to their story no matter how long it takes.
No matter what is said. No matter where it takes us.
understanding, fun. I will be a friend.
