Born 2 April 1886 at Whitford, Flintshire, son of Richard Thomas, blacksmith, and Elizabeth (Morris), his wife. The family moved to Harlech, where the son was educated at the local board school; later he went to Barmouth county school. He entered University College of Wales, Aberystwyth, in 1904 as Sir Alfred Jones scholar, and graduated in 1907 with 1st class honours in chemistry. A year of research under Professor J. J. Sudborough gained for him the M.Sc. degree and an '1851 Exhibition' research scholarship which enabled him to proceed to Trinity College, Cambridge, and to further research under Professor Sir William Pope. In 1911 he was appointed to the National Physical Laboratory as research chemist in the aeronautical section. In 1912 he transferred to Nobel's Explosives Company at Ardeer, Scotland, where he carried out important research on explosives which was accepted for the D.Sc. degree of the University of Wales. In 1918 he became chief chemist to Solway Dyes, Ltd., Carlisle (later Scottish Dyes, Ltd.), of which later he became managing director. To good business ability he added great scientific acumen and brilliant intuition. He made outstanding contributions to the development of the British dyestuffs industry, particularly in connection with the manufacture of fast dyes of the indanthrone group. His part in the discovery of Caledon Jade Green and subsequent work on the blue dyes of the same series placed him among the foremost discoverers of the industry. On the absorption of his company into Imperial Chemical Industries, Ltd., in 1926, Dr. Thomas became joint managing director of the Dyestuffs Group, a position which he retained until his death on 18 January 1933.

The following biography was originally published in Homeschooling Teen Magazine.
"You will never know how much it has cost my generation to preserve your freedom. I hope you will make good use of it." ~John Quincy Adams
John Quincy Adams (1767-1848)
John Quincy Adams was the oldest of John and Abigail Adams' five children. His middle name "Quincy" came from Abigail's maternal grandfather, Colonel John Quincy, after whom Quincy, Massachusetts is also named. John Quincy was born on July 11, 1767, in the house next to where his father had been born.
The American Revolution began when John Quincy was eight years old. While his father was gone away to Congress, he and his mother watched the Battle of Bunker Hill from a nearby field. It was she who primarily instilled in John Quincy his strong Christian ideals. "So well did his mother commit the Bible to his heart that it became for him a compass and anchor in a long life of service." (The Christian History of the American Revolution , by Verna M. Hall.)
John Quincy was a serious and studious child who "received his education principally by instruction from his distinguished father and gifted mother." (Encyclopedia Americana) At age 11, he accompanied his father on a diplomatic mission to France. On their voyage they survived violent storms and a battle with a British ship, only to be shipwrecked off the coast of Spain. From there they rode to Paris on mules, a distance of 1,000 miles over the Pyrenees Mountains, a journey which took three months.
As secretary to his father in Europe, John Quincy gained broad knowledge from study and travel. Under the close tutelage of his father, he learned six modern languages as well as Latin and Greek. In addition to being an accomplished linguist, John Quincy was a prolific diarist who often kept multiple diaries simultaneously, filling fifty-one volumes over sixty-nine years (amounting to nearly 15,000 pages). These diaries give a unique picture of the personalities and politics of the times. When he was just 14, John Quincy was chosen as an aide to the first U.S. diplomat to Russia. At the end of the American Revolution, he went with his father to the peace treaty conference between the United States and Great Britain.
John Quincy was already an experienced traveler and diplomat, well informed about many cultures and topics of debate, by the time he arrived back home and entered Harvard College at age 19. As a scholar he was well versed in classical languages, history, and mathematics; he was also an excellent writer of both prose and poetry, and a fine speaker. Upon graduating, he began to practice law in Massachusetts and considered being a Harvard professor, although he preferred politics. It seems that John Quincy Adams was destined to follow in his father's footsteps.
John Quincy was elected a U.S. Senator in 1803. As newly appointed minister to Russia, John Quincy Adams set sail for St. Petersburg on August 5, 1809. He also served as minister to Great Britain. In 1823, as Secretary of State under James Monroe, Adams was the chief architect of the Monroe Doctrine. He also arranged the purchase of Florida from Spain. In 1824, Adams was a candidate for the U.S. presidency. Neither he, Andrew Jackson, William Crawford, nor Henry Clay received a majority in the electoral college. This meant the election had to be decided in the House of Representatives, and Adams was thus elected.
At the time of John Quincy Adams' presidency, not much was going on in foreign affairs which was his area of expertise. Instead, there was much internal strife with sectionalism and factionalism developing within the one and only political party. Adams tried to convince the nation to engage in a large scale cultural and economic development, and he was a strong supporter of improvements in the nation's transportation system. While he was in office, the Erie Canal was opened, the Cumberland Road was completed, and the first railroads were built. John Quincy also did much in the areas of education and art, and was instrumental in establishing The Smithsonian Institution.
After Jackson won the 1828 election, Adams retired to Quincy. In 1831, Adams became the first ever ex-President to be elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, an office which he kept until his death in 1848. John Quincy's eloquence, persistence, and moral forcefulness brought an end in 1844 to the House "gag rule" on debate about slavery. Nevertheless, his strong beliefs about slavery did not sit well with members of Congress from the slave states.
Adams was better known for his accomplishments as Secretary of State and later as a Congressman, than he was for his Presidency. But in spite of not being publicly popular at the time, he was respected for his high-mindedness and knowledge. Some consider him to have been the most intelligent man to ever inhabit the White House. Today, John Quincy Adams is most often remembered as, prior to the Presidency of George W. Bush, the only son of a former President to have been elected President.
It seems that John Quincy Adams was actually way ahead of his time, since his bite-sized diary entries look a lot like tweets! On August 5, 2009, the Massachusetts Historical Society started posting John Quincy Adams' line-a-day diary entries on Twitter, exactly 200 years after his first trip to Russia. The historians say they hope to connect a new online generation with Adams by bringing his life into the 21st century. Adams' Twitter-ready entries include mentions of his favorite reads, memorable meals, weather updates, and the daily drama of months at sea:
Aug. 6, 1809: "Thick fog. Scanty Wind. On George's Bank. Lat: 42-34. Read Massillon's Careme Sermons 2 & 3. Ladies are Sick."
Aug. 15, 1809: "Weather fine – wind scanty. Lat: 44-13. Long: 53-40. This afternoon I found the Caboose [ship's galley] on fire."
Aug. 31, 1809: "Calm and light winds. Pleasant weather. Lat: 59-23. Long: 17-15. Cimon and Lucullus. Cards."

cause the optimizer to loop indefinitely in some cases.
It is strange when given limit is supported we return Optional.empty() like in the case where limit is not supported.
It is not practical case, but in case where you have subsequent limits then only first of the would be pushed down to connector. However this example gets more practical in case of predicate pushdown.
IMO we should handle that in optimizer (engine) code, instead requiring all connectors to have if like that.
Optional.empy() just means "applying the provided limit has no effect (so don't try to do it again)". I don't think we need to distinguish between supported and not supported. It makes for awkward implementations that never return Optional.empty() and indicate no progress with a special flag in the object they return.
In the long term (when we connectors can provide custom Rule instances), this will be replaced by a Rule. Connectors would indicate they support limit pushdown by providing a rule, and the rule will return Rule.Result.empty() to indicate it had no effect or couldn't be applied in that particular case.
How do you suggest we do that? There has to be a way for the connector to signal that the "applying the provided limit has no effect (so don't try to do it again)", or the optimizer will loop forever. An alternative is to introduce machinery like we have for Rule (patterns, etc), but that would be a lot of work and would probably require duplicating a lot of code due to limitations of what can go in the SPI.
I think rule could get table property before and after applyLimit. Then it could derive that returned limit is the same as previously. However, currently there is no such thing as LimitProperty so it might just not be worth it.
I agree that it would be nice if the engine could handle this, otherwise it's more difficult and error prone to write connectors. But it sounds like we don't have a feasible way to do that.
LimitProperty sounds good to me.
Consider an example that connector knows a lot about its tables. It knows things like tables cardinality, partitioning. For a table with a lower cardinality than limit, connector in first rule application would need to return Optional.empty() (saying no progress), but for engine it looks like connector is not capable to push down limit. In regards to LIMIT is not a big deal, however in case of partitioning or other SQL fragments it might affect query latency.
In my opinion if we are going to push down some property to connector, we need to have an ability for connector to say what are actual properties. The there is no need to even call applyLimit in case where required properties are already satisfied with actual properties.
We do not need such machinery. We can handle this manually in Rule code. Like patterns that are too complicated for pattern matching.
I agree that it would be nice if the engine could handle this[...]. But it sounds like we don't have a feasible way to do that.
Let's have a test. It might not catch all of the cases, but it still may catch some.
LimitProperty, or rather, "max row count" or "max cardinality", would work for the case where the limit is guaranteed by the connector. However, if the connector can't guarantee a limit, such as a when pushing the limit to a parallel database, it wouldn't be able to describe the "max cardinality" of the derived table, so the engine would have no way of knowing whether it's safe to call applyLimit again.
The other downside of relying on that property is that it requires connectors to implement two seemingly disconnected APIs.
There's already a test that would catch this if connectors implemented it wrong: AbstractTestIntegrationSmokeTest.testLimit().
This could cause the optimizer to loop indefinitely in some cases.
Would it be possible to have a test?
Especially if this is connector's responsibility, having a test case in AbstractTestIntegrationSmokeTest could help implementors.
It doesn't happen currently for this connector, because the engine eliminates the Limit due to the connector saying it's guaranteed. However, that's not required for the engine so it's a potential for future breakage. The current implementation does not satisfy the contract of the interface.


Launching the Corrections Victoria Disability Framework in 2007, the Victorian State Government made a commitment towards tackling the significant issue of offenders with a disability. With rates of re-offending higher for this population than for other offenders, a more customised response was required.
At the midway point in the Framework's cycle, Corrections Victoria released the Disability Framework Report Card - Half Way Mark. This Report Card presents a summary of the progress of the Disability Framework initiatives to December 2008.
The Corrections Victoria Disability Framework 2010–12 demonstrates a continuing organisational commitment to tackle the ongoing challenges which contribute to elevated recidivism among this specific group of offenders.
Now at the midway point of the new Framework's cycle, Corrections Victoria released the Disability Framework Report Card No. 2 - Half Way Mark. This Report Card presents a summary of the progress of the Disability Framework initiatives to August 2011.


This is what you need to know about "daddy": In most online dialogue, "daddy" is a sexual way for someone to express admiration for another person (usually an older man). The weight and sincerity of "daddy" depends on the user—it can refer to role playing, or dirty talk, or a fantasy. Or it can be a total joke.
If you call someone "daddy," their authoritative character probably turns you on. President Obama gets called "daddy" online, for example, by people who may or may not be sexually attracted to him. The term has origins in the queer community, abut it also has origins in ubiquitous phrases like "daddy issues." It covers a lot of ground and is difficult to neatly define.
But the popularity of "daddy" online is pretty easy to define: "Daddy," in 2016, is a meme. And attempting to over-explain an meme—how many times have we killed Harambe?—is a losing battle.
Everyone can participate in a meme. That's the point. Trying to convince the Internet to stop meme-ing—especially with such a popular meme with such sexual undertones—is pretty pointless.
Why Do People Think They 'Own' Celebrities?

1881 - 1948 (Age: ~ 66) Has 8 ancestors and 4 descendants in our family tree.
This is an interesting case if only because it must have been one of the shortest military service records of WW1. Elisha was attested on 3 Sep 1914. on 1 October he was posted to the Wiltshire Regiment at Welford where only lasted 7 days. On the 8 October 1914, he was discharged under Paragraph 392 (iii), Kings Regulations as "Not likely to become an effecient soldier.". Sub-paragraph (iii) did NOT relate to medical fitness and so the reason for such a quick discharge is unknown. Both of his medical examinations resulted in reports of "fit for service".
Elisha was formally discharged on 8 October 1914 after just 36 days of service.

So I finished the first 100 of Rolling Stone's Top 500 Albums of All Time. I thought maybe I could give a little retrospective of what I liked and didn't like in that first 100.
I'm going to preface this with a caveat. I am not including albums that I would consider some of my faves. I own and listen to Synchronicity all the time. Same with Destroyer, Van Halen, Faith, etc. This list is about discovery, and some revisiting, for me. The reason I'm doing it is to see what I've been missing out on, what deliciousness I can unearth. There were some awesome finds and some huge letdowns. Some I'd love to have, some I'd love to have on vinyl even, and some I'd love to have destroyed. Things that I dreaded, often left me feeling pleasantly surprised. While others that I may have been looking forward to disappointed me. Nothing's perfect and I know I feel this list is very much flawed. You don't include compilation albums in top lists. I don't care how iconic that greatest hits or anthology may be. I am a huge KISS fan and I don't care two shakes about Double Platinum outside of my childhood. Give me fully packaged studio albums every day. I allowed the live albums after much debate with myself. The performances in live albums tend to show some artistic merit and, often, more raw emotion.
Life After Death by Notorious B.I.G.
Yes, I realize that 4 of that 5 are rap albums. I'm not discriminating against rap albums as you'll find plenty of them in the #500-401 that I stated my digging of. So don't read more into that than necessary. I just found that I didn't care about any of these.
Overall, I really enjoyed this segment of the list and I even appreciate the ones that I didn't like. I am glad I undertook this task and I look forward to the next 100! Thank you, Dear Reader, for being interested in my ramblings enough to read through them. On to listening!

Kenilorea Rejects Any Notion of Involvement in Unrest
He calls on MPs in government and the public to respect reconciliation, citing false accusations being made suggesting that the reconciliation held in Malaita was a pretext for the riots that happened in Honiara.
Source: RNZ
Wednesday, 08 December 2021 09:53 AM
Member of Parliament for East Are'are Hon. Peter Kenilorea (Jr) says he rejects any notions that he or his colleagues in the opposition bench were involved in the recent unrest.
"There has been talk going around here and in parliament, on this floor, as well as in the media, that has tainted some of us, and I reject that in the strongest terms, in terms of our involvement, if at all, to any of those criminal activity," the MP for East Are'are said.
He says contrary to rumours being circulated, what he witnessed in Aimela was a powerful reconciliation, one that spans back to 1927, and the murder of Bell.
"Those are powerful grievances that were held between different language groups in Malaita. This is very powerful if one cares to read abit of history behind this, you will find that it was not only Mr Bell that was murdered at that time but 13 police officers were also murdered at that time, most were from North Malaita," Kenilorea said.
"We need to understand these things before we start speaking and try to make a mockery of it, I feel very strongly about this. If we do not understand that history, we will not appreciate what happened."
The MP for East Are'are says that leaders should not mock any attempts at reconciling past grievances, without fully understanding the context behind it.

The stack of books wobbled precariously in my hands as I attempted unsuccessfully to navigate the library door. "Need a hand?" I turned my head as best I could and nodded a grateful assent to Dave the Librarian, who deftly turned the handle and swung open the door. I staggered inside, the books in my grasp weighing heavily and hampering my movement. "Here let me help you" offered Dave, who took the books before I could reply. My thanks were drowned out by his buoyant reassurance that it was no trouble, and what else was he here for, if not to help encumbered readers such as myself. I smiled in reply and made my way through the towering shelves and artificial alleyways of words to my favourite spot. Though I had worked my way through a substantial amount of books here there were still many I had yet to enjoy. Time slipped away from me as I perused the titles names that sounded reassuring, places that I conjured up strange images. I lost myself in another world.
I was startled from my reverie by a slight movement. Dave was standing behind me, his outline stylised against the dwindling light from the window. "We're closing soon," he said, his voice soft albeit alien in the dome of silence that had enveloped around me. I nodded and began to gather the books I would be taking. "I'll take those" he whispered, his cold fingers closing around my wrist.
The silence swelling once more. The darkness, resolute and indecipherable.
Would I sing or would I dance what would I do at all?
No set dancing at a scor, we were to be doomed.


"I saw him with England, it was a great performance".
Under-fire Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri says he is ready to give England global Callum Hudson-Odoi a first start in the Premier League, either against Brighton on Wednesday or West Ham next Monday.
Speaking after the match, the Cardiff boss described the Premier League as "the best in the world", but said it had "probably the worst officials at the minute", adding the manner of the defeat was "soul-destroying".
The Italian manager had faced chants of "We want Sarri out" from his own fans when sixth-placed Chelsea were losing.
"I know the fans want us to win, and when the results are not there, we are all responsible".
Unsurprisingly, the Premier League top-six top the charts for the most goals scored this domestic season, but while Manchester City (81 goals) and Liverpool (72 goals) are romping away at the top of the goal-scoring charts, we ask the question which of the Premier League heavyweight sextet have had the most scorers in the division this season? The way to do it is to win matches.
Azipilicueta accepted Sarri's side must improve during the final weeks of the season to secure a Champions League place. Callum is always in my mind, in my opinion, he is our future.
Sarri may be making a good point but he will need to play the youngster as much as possible between now and the end of the season if the Blues hope to keep the Englishman from the clutches of Bayern Munich this summer.
Chelsea fans chanted his name at Cardiff on Sunday but he was left on the bench as they came from behind to score a late victor.
"I am not happy, of course, but I am not concerned". I am not concerned.
Chelsea won the match courtesy of a late victor from Ruben Loftus Cheek but during the match, there were a series of decisions which went against the Bluebirds. It can happen. I can understand well the frustration of our fans.
"You nearly begin to think, is it me?"

-The Red Crowns-
--An Imperial Tale--
---or---
-The Rise and Fall of Imperial Socialism-
Prologue: The Sowing of the Seeds
Excerpt from ImpSoc, AutoLib and NewTheo - The New Philosophies of the 20th Century
By Sir William Bragg Published 2004, Oxford University Press
...of course, in 1879, traditional "Marxian" socialism was still highly dominant, it was not until Robert Bontine Cunninghame Graham published his, now famous, treatise "The Worker's Kingdom" that we can see the development of Imperial Socialism. Rejected at the time by Socialist and Traditional groups alike, it would nevertheless catch on among the people. C.G. had returned to the United Kingdom just over a year earlier, attending many Socialist rallies and, over the course of the year, would shape his own view of politics and he world. Merely nine moths before it's publication, C.G. began to codify his views into "Worker's Kingdom" but had no idea of it's potential impact. Cunninghame Graham's initial philosophy can be boiled down into five key points:
-The maintenance of a Monarch (C.G. referred to this as the generic "Empress") as head of state, for stability and as a remembrance of tradition. This was by far the most controversial aspect of the Philosophy but C.G. insisted that his Empress was crowned "By Will of the People" not "Grace of God". C.G. did however state that regular referendums should be held to determine the future of the Monarchy.
-The maintenance of Democratic practice, to ensure that the government adhered to the will of the people. C.G. saw this as the only way to preserve true Socialism, disregarding the "Dictatorship of the Proletariat" but instead proposed a "Meritocracy of All". Again a huge divergence, C.G. did not see Socialism as an ideology of the working class but one that would, in time, encompass all peoples.
-The establishment of a welfare state, so that the people may not fall into destitution. Again, less extreme than Marxian thought, people should be brought closer together, but through "the advancement of the low, not the purge of the high"
-The economic policy of "Market-Socialism", often called State-Capitalism, which revolved around the idea of a Market economy, within which the Government was both a competitor and a regulator. Big Companies were to be opposed or dismantled but small business could be allowed.
-The people's will must be represented as directly as possible, appointed government was unacceptable and the dominance of regions must be ended. This did not mean, however, that government should be limited. Quite the contrary, C.G. believed in big government over all alternatives, however he believed in self determinism and the Federalisation of Great Britain both in the homeland and beyond.
Robert Bontine Cunninghame Graham - The Father of Modern Socialism
The immediate view of ImpSoc was that it was merely watered down Socialism, a bastardisation of Marxian politics, but it caught on well with British, particularly Scottish and Welsh, workers. The 1880 forming of the "Imperial Red Party" was the true beginning of the movement. Based on a promise of furthering the will expressed in the "Worker's Kingdom" and presenting the first proposal of Imperial Federalisation. C.G. would garner huge immediate support from Socialists and Liberals and, despite his loss in 1881, C.G. would return in 1885 with his new, codified Philosophy and win his seat of North West Lanarkshire in something of a landslide. C.G.'s party was large for one so young, running twelve candidates across the country, four of whom would carry their seats, with his election to Parliament C.G. saw moderate defection to his cause. Five Scottish and seven English MP's (Liberals and Independent Labour mostly) would defect to the new party in the run up to the 1886 elections, catapulting it to a position of importance in the House of Commons. This growth refused to slow in the 1892 elections, when the party carried 51 seats, many of them former Liberal heartlands and the rise of ImpSoc is believed to have been one of the leading causes of the Tory victory that year.
An Original Party Pin, Given to members in 1890
C.G.'s breakthrough, however, would truly come in 1893 when he was endorsed by one of the most powerful socialist institutions in the United Kingdom, The Fabian Society. Up until this point, the Fabians had been observing Union and Socialist groups, who had been bringing together various trade unions into one, "Labour Party". However, the various groups involved struggled to reach a consensus and some within the Fabian Society believed that this Labour party would put too much power in the hands of the unions. Thus, with the emergent Red Party making good traction, the Society immediately fell in love. ImpSoc represented everything that the Fabians stood for; Socialism, Democracy, Reformism and (importantly) the maintenance of the British Empire and it's use as a tool of progression and modernisation. The Fabians reached out to Cunninghame Graham, offering their support for his party and for the two groups to become officially associated associated. (Hence the common name of Fabians, referring to the party as a whole) With the Society, ImpSoc shot up in size and gained many notable members, including Ramsay MacDonald, HG Wells, George Bernard Shaw, Bertrand Russell and Emmeline Pankhurst; two of whom would go on to be Prime Minister. With the addition of the Fabians, Cunninghame Graham's party developed into an entirely new group, dubbed the "Federation of Imperial Socialists". With many minor Socialist candidates and groups joining, the Fabians were now the third largest political party in the United Kingdom. The Party's future was sure and now, as we entered into the 20th century, they were poised to leave their mark on Britain and the World.

Now there's a spectacular start.
Interestingly, several OTL monarchs were crowned "By the Grace of God and the Will of the People". Stanislaw August (the last King of independent Poland), King Louis Philippe and Emperor Napoleon III of France, the Kings of Serbia and the Kings of Italy. Though in those cases the title had little to no socialist connotations.

Excerpt from Faith, Fraternity and Fate: American Politics 1890-1953
By Peter Arke, Published by The New England Society of Literature, 1990
The late 19th and 20th century saw a revolution in politics, especially in Britain, France and, of course, the United States. For almost the entirety of it's history, America had relied on a two party system, one left leaning and the other right. The idea that the number of parties could increase, or even decrease, was unheard of. Up until the late 19th century, religion had played a small role in politics; many Americans took their separation of church and state as important and yet it is not hard to see how his idea faded and the concept of a Christian Government would come into play. Beginning of course with the popular Prohibition Movement, which would of course evolve over the course of many years to become what we know as Wheelerism, which would grow in power throughout the 1890's. This reaction can be see as a response to the slowing of American gains and the slip in the American rising power following the embarrassing Hawaii Affair, where the republic was quite embarrassed by the British Government. The attempted American-backed coup soured Transatlantic relations and led to the British Protectorate over Hawaii (Or the Sandwich Islands if you ask an Englishman). The reaction had huge reverberations around the world, including the trigger of...

...a huge sense of rising patriotism and appreciation for the Empire (following the success in the Sandwich Islands of course) throughout the Australasian Colonies and though discussions of Federalisation expanded, they suffered setbacks throughout 1890, with the Canadian model viewed as too centralised for application in the relatively independent Australasian colonies. The first legitimate constitution for the region was penned by Andrew Inglis Clark, during his trip to London. Here it is believed he was influenced by Fabian politics as Clark had previously been described (inaccurately) as a "communist" and when he returned to Australasia, via Vancouver, the trappings of Imperial Socialism were clear in his final draft. With an emphasis on Australasia (then still referred to as merely "Australia") as an "integral and inseparable part of the British crown but remaining and persisting as an independent nation". The renaming of the convention in 1891 from "The Federation of Australia" to the "Federation of Australasia" may seem insignificant, but it showed a marked effort to include the New Zealand colony in the new union, something which many felt essential to the union's legitimacy and longevity. Talks would last for another 4 years until plebiscites were held across Australasia. The votes were close in Western Australia and New Zealand, with only 56.2% and 54.1% pro union in each respectively. Despite this, the Dominion of Australasia was declared on June 5th 1895. It would not be for a few years, until 1896, that the Dominion would be recognised as a loyal Kingdom however due to the now famous military actions in...

Excerpt from: Dominions, Kingdoms, Sisters: The Peoples of the British Empire
By Richard Peterborough, Published 1999 Penguin Publishing
Of course, it was the so called "Anglo-Saxon" dominions that received preferential treatment, being seen as closer, more loyal and more powerful than the Indian and particularly black dominions... In 1895, Australasia would become a dominion of the crown. By the turn of the 20th century, Britain had only two Dominions; Canada and Australasia, though in the running were Newfoundland and Cape, both of which would gain their independence in 1899, of course this is mostly due to the tumultuous events of 1896 and '97. Dominions seemed to be the new way for the Empire and with the new "Imperial Council" formed in London, it appeared that the British Empire was taking a leap into the new century. Set up as a strange, Bipartisan effort by Conservatives and Imperial Socialists, all in the name of strengthening the Empire, the Council was primary endorsed by the Queen herself, who saw it as an excellent way of keeping her rapidly decentralised Empire strong. What was surprising though was the extension of Dominions that would take place in 1903, adding both…

Chapter 2: All Quiet on the Homefront
Excerpt from The Kings and Queens of Britain 1707-1922
By Ian Ousby, Published by Higson Books 1989
Though his illness in 1892 was believed to be quite dangerous, it seems that both King Edward's father, the Prince of Wales, had little worry over his son's death, in stark contrast to his Grandmother Queen Victoria, who had great concern. If Prince Albert, as he was then known were to die, it seems that his brother and father would have cared very little. Albert was popular enough among the people and a dashing, adventurous young Prince but not considered very Kingly. Prince Albert had never been an intellectual, falling behind his younger brother in early education and taking little interest in his studies at Cambridge. Even his younger brother once said: "I do not think he can possibly derive much benefit from attending lectures at Cambridge ... He hardly knows the meaning of the words to read" This was of course couple with the Prince's numerous controversies as well as his suggested sexuality especially following the infamous Cleveland Street Scandal wherein the Prince was implicated as having been a frequenter of a male brothel. This was dismissed by most in Britain but the rumours would reemerge when the Prince's friendship with Irish playwright Oscar Wilde, which may or may not have been romantic. Of course, the Princes recovery was met with a sigh of relief across the nation as the dashing heir apparent stepped out onto the balcony of the Old Buckingham Palace to make a speech. The Prince said that his good health would: "Mimic the health of the Empire, as it moves together into a new century." Of course at the time, the Prince had no idea how right he was. It has been said that, upon hearing of the Prince's recovery, Robert Cunninghame Graham, leader of the budding Fabian Party, breathed a sigh of relief, stating: "With his Majesty's salvation comes our own, I fear seeing Prince George crowned would see ourselves imprisoned."
The following year, Prince Albert would marry Princess Mary of Teck, in theory a German Princess but one who had been born and raised in Britain. She was popular among the people and that popularity, combined with the Prince's own, would give the British people new hope in their Monarchy. The two were by every report an excellent couple and, despite further accusations as to the Prince's sexuality, seemingly in love. By September 1893 it was announced that the young Princess was pregnant and nine months later she gave birth to a healthy little boy, William. (Full name William Arthur George Saxe-Coburg-Gotha). All seemed well in the empire and, for the next few years at least, all was.

Excerpt from Strange Bedfellows: British Politics 1895-1910
By Susan Cunninghame, Published 2005 by Penguin Publishing
The liberals had been, in the 1895 elections and following an embarrassing series of defections, losing seats hand over fist to the Fabians (By which I of course mean the F.I.S). In 1892 the Liberals had won 270 seats, by early 1895 this number had dropped to 229. The budgeoning Imperial Socialists were soaring, with their new and yet obscenely well known party netting 47 of these 51 defections, combined with their gains in the 1892 election (and extensive defections/absorption of both Socialist and Lib-Lab groups) this brought them to 76 seats, just above the Irish Parliamentarians' 72. As they came into the '95 elections, the situation looked increasingly bleak for the Liberals and despite growing support for them against Conservatives (as Britain took quite a surprising swing leftwards), many of these votes were being stolen from them by the Fabians. Come election day and, to no-ones surprise, despite making decent gains; the liberals had been unable to force the Conservatives from power. In the end, the Tories won 332 seats, a decline but not one that threatened their position. The Liberals carried 229 whilst the Fabians took an absolutely astonishing 89 seats, cementing their position as Britain's third party. The initial liberal reaction to the ImpSocs had been aggressive, they presented a genuine threat to the Liberal voter base, but as the Fabians became increasingly popular, their ideas seeped into the Liberal party and, despite many defections, it cannot be said that the Liberals did not see a distinct leftward slide. As the two parties now seemed to be on the same side of the increasingly polarised political spectrum, it only made sense for a Coalition Government to be formed, catapulting Gladstone back into the position of PM and putting Cunninghame Graham in the advantageous position of Second in command, the two were both popular among the people and their parties, as well as having a good working relationship, they would truly become legends, however, following the events of 1896 when...

Effectively, I didn't foresee the survival of Albert, but considering that his OTL death did the difference in the end...

It's 10 a.m., so I start drinking.
This past weekend was the party students wait for all year. We've made it past the cold weeks of winter, and finals are on the way, so we need one last hoorah. It's time to tap the keg of Rolling Rock and get your buzz on before noon. I'm talking about Plattsvegas.
Plattsvegas is when hundreds of Plattsburgh State students come together to drink alcohol and… well, that's pretty much it. No hidden meaning. No historical relevance. No celebration of anything really. Just good ol' fashioned drunkenness.
This year's Plattsvegas had all the usual suspects — beer games, people passing around blunts, frat boys in jorts, the couple that publicly plays tonsil hockey in front of everybody, the drunk idiot who throws a beer bottle at a cop car and winds up ruining the party, and that one freshman girl who gets way too drunk, vomits at 2 p.m. and then needs a cab to drive her back to Moffitt. You know, the obvious elements of any good Plattsvegas.
The party planners decided to be a little more positive with the festivities this time around. Along with the usual drinking, smoking and loud Rock n' Roll, Plattsvegas and the two performing bands, Soul Junction and Steve and the Browns, also helped raise money for the Alzheimer's Association.
Guitarist and lead singer of Soul Junction, Ryan Ackerman, said, "We chose the Alzheimer's Association because our drummer's father was diagnosed with it last year, so it really hit close to home with us." The party and everyone involved managed to raise $110 for the charity.
Something like Plattsvegas can easily be interpreted as a rowdy gathering of intoxicated, immature students where things break and people piss themselves. And to an extent, it's always going to be that, but this year's Plattsvegas definitely instilled a little more positivity in the namesake. No fights, few drunken incidents and it was all for a good cause.

BasketballBuzz NBL Canada Power Rankings – Nov 7, 2011
NBLC
Edilson J. Silva
The first season of the National Basketball League of Canada (NBLC) is well underway and BasketballBuzz is proud to release our inaugural Weekly NBL Canada Power Rankings.
#1 London Lightning – (3-0) (LW: NR)
A clean sweep of the Halifax Rainmen and a road victory against the Saint John Mill Rats. Positive start to the season but we already new this was going to happen. Quebec Kebs and a rematch with the Millrats is on deck this week.
#2 Oshawa Power – (2-1) (LW: NR)
The Oshawa Power behind consistent play from the #1 overall pick, Morgan Lewis, have won two-straight and are looking to stay at the top of the rankings with games against the St. John's Millrats and the Quebec Kebs. Canadians Kevin Francis (Toronto, ON) leads the team in rebounds (8.6) and point guard Tut Ruach (Toronto, ON) is the top assist men (7.6) in the business through three-games.
#3 Summerside Storm- (2-0) (LW: NR)
The Summerside Storm kicked off the 1st NBL Canada campaign with an impressive victory over the Quebec Kebs by scoring a league-high 120 points. Games against the Millrats and a big match-up with the London Lightning should provide a better indication.
#4 Quebec Kebs – (2-2) (LW: NR)
They have lost two in a row after a hot start. The Kebs head to London, Ontario to take on the Lightning and will host the Moncton Miracles. One of the busiest teams to start the season.
#5 Halifax Rainmen – (0-2) (LW: NR)
Tough opening games against the London Lightning. Player suspensions already! Hopefully this doesn't become a trend. Things should improve this week with games against winless Moncton Miracles and another stern test with the Summerside Storm.

#6 Saint John Mill Rats (0-2) (LW: NR)
Tough order to start the season, the 0-2 Mill Rats face the same two teams again. They will and could easily be looking at a 0-4 record if things don't improve on the defensive end. They host the Summerside Storm and take trip to the John Labbatt Centre in London.
#7 Moncton Miracles (0-2) (LW: NR)
Young team still trying to find its identity, at this point its a case of, to many road games, not enough scoring in a league which requires you to hover around 100 points per game to stay relevant. A visit to Halifax and another visit to Quebec City is upcoming.

London Lightning guard Charles Boozer lives in his famous brother's shadow
Ben Forrest
If you know anything about London Lightning guard Charles Boozer, it's likely that he's the younger brother of Carlos, the former NBA All-Star, Olympic gold medalist and Duke standout.
Carlos, by far the more famous of the two, played more than 800 NBA games with Cleveland, Utah, Chicago and the L.A. Lakers before retiring in 2015.
The younger Boozer showed flashes of promise in college at Iowa State, but suffered an ACL tear as a junior in 2010 and has bounced around minor leagues since then.
"He's a combo guard who can set up his teammates and score," his Carlos told the Chicago Tribune in 2014, when Charles played with the Windy City Bulls of the NBA G League.
"He's a great defender, very athletic. And he has great wisdom."
Now with London, at age 32, Charles will have what may be his final attempt at a sustainable pro career.
He was selected third overall in the 2018 National Basketball League of Canada (NBLC)'s Cape Breton Highlanders but reportedly pulled a muscle in the first week of training camp and was subsequently cut.
"We couldn't see much of him, but he's a great player," Highlanders coach Bernardo Fitz-Gonzales told the Cape Breton Post at the time.
London coach Doug Plumb, a former star guard at the University of British Columbia, said the younger Boozer is now in the best shape of his life.
"Charles has worked extremely hard this off-season," Plumb said in a statement."He is a bigger powerful guard, can guard multiple positions on the court and has a versatile skill set.
Must Read: London Lightning guard Charles Boozer lives in his famous brother's shadow
"I'm looking forward to seeing his off-season work translate to the court and bring fire and tenacity every day."
London has won four championships since the NBLC launched eight years ago, but exited in the first round of the playoffs last season.
They'll rely in part on guard Xavier Moon, 2019 Player of the Year with the Edmonton Stingers of the Canadian Elite Basketball League, to help them return to form.
As he always has, Charles Boozer will try to make his mark while answering questions about his more famous older brother.
"I'm excited to put on the Lightning uniform and help elevate the tradition of excellence," he said in a statement. "It's going to be a special season."
Carl English amazing 58-point effort sets NBL Canada scoring record
The return of long time fan favorite Carl English to Canada was definitely a moment not to be slept on.
English whose story is well chronicled has had an outstanding 15-year professional career across the top international leagues. A veteran member of Canada Senior Men's National Team he decided to bring it full circle and concluded his storied career in his hometown province of St. Johns, Newfoundland.
When news broke that he was returning home it also meant that those same East Coast supporters who grew-up watching a young skinny grade ten kid would also get another opportunity to watch him once again showcase his game. English went from dropping 50-point games in high school to becoming only the third player from Newfoundland to play division one NCAA basketball.
On Saturday night, against the visiting Kitchen Waterloo Titans and with March Madness in full swing, the now 37 year-old English, delighted the fans once more with an incredible 58-point career-high performance to set the National Basketball League of Canada (NBLC) scoring record. English connected on 17-of-33 shots, 13/14 free-throws and nailed an incredible 11-of-20 three-point attempts in 127-117 win at Mile One Centre.
The previous record was held by Moncton's Devin Sweetney in 2013 against the defunct Montreal Jazz.
English currently leads the NBLC in scoring in scoring at 25 points per game, shooting 44% from the floor and 38.5 from the outside, he also averages 4.5 rebounds, 3.8 assists and has the St. John Edge eyeing a deep playoff run and potential championship.

Blown Horizonz: The Birth & Death Of Auto-Tune
Karl Smith , February 10th, 2013 08:34
In an extract from his new book, Blown Horizonz, David Z Morris connects the dots between economics, Auto-Tune and the Enlightenment
First drawn to what he calls the "spaces and cultures of weird music" by DJ Shadow's Endtroducing, David Morris has been writing on the subject for the last decade. Blown Horizonz, his first book, is an ambitious Frankenstein's Monster of music writing is part travelogue - part hauntological discourse and a great many things in between, it is, above all, an exploration of the fringes of music in which Morris has found his comfort zone.

I think I started somethin' . . . I got what I wanted
Did, didn't, I can't feel nothin', superhuman . . .
Even when I'm fuckin', Viagra poppin', every single record, autotunin'
Zero emotion, muted emotion, pitch corrected, computed emotion.
-Frank Ocean, "Novacane"
I grew up in a world laid over with a low-fidelity digital filter, barely able to sense the subtleties of human vocal inflection, body language, suggestion. If I were thirteen today, I think I would run the chance of ending up on the autism spectrum. Or maybe I was just a little more alienated than your average teenager—all I know is that I had a very hard time making friends, spent a lot of time in my room, and didn't have a real girlfriend until after college. I knew I had a problem—maybe that constant discomfort was the sign that I wasn't really broken—and I did understand the power of learning, of self-improvement, of looking for models and blueprints. Hip hop became part of my self-improvement program, a map of where I wanted to go and who I wanted to be. It gave me a vision of what it meant to be normal and happy. This meant being confident, easy around people, moving with swagger through parties where your presence was a blessing.
I went to hip hop shows, drank, smoked, danced, did what I was apparently supposed to do to connect. Drinking got me out of my head and talking to people, whose names I would not remember the next morning. I eventually discovered that women were easy to talk to when you pretended they didn't matter, and that apparently at least some of them thought I was good-looking, funny, charming. I didn't feel at all qualified to make these judgments about myself. A lot of friends came and went, easily made and easily parted from. For all my striving there was some barrier I could see, but couldn't get through.
The 18th and 19th centuries were what is now known as the Age of Enlightenment. Western societies of that time were enthralled by the idea of mankind's perfectibility, his fated control over the natural world, ability to dominate chance and rationalize society. The 20th century, zombie-like, shambled forward under those delusions even as they were battered by wars that made no sense, science discovering the edges of predictability, and natural disasters that laid grand ambition low. Our current Great Recession may be the final reckoning with the end of the Enlightenment, with the death of humanity's infinite power. We now know that our universe is full of nonsense, of randomness and uncontrollable forces, of insuperable obstacles. We have learned, after centuries of striving towards utopia, that we ourselves are the biggest obstacle. But we haven't quite figured out how to live with that.
In the 1980s, the hangover of Enlightenment, the Exxon corporation was using sound waves to help map the subterranean world, as part of an attempt to understand the underworld, navigate it, find oil for the betterment of mankind. One of the engineers performing this seismological analysis realized that similar processes could be applied to audio recordings—and that is how Auto-Tune was born.
Auto-Tune was first used as a behind-the-scenes way to smooth over small errors, both live and in studio, and used as intended, it is inaudible, existing only as the lack of imperfection. But in 1998, Cher's single 'Believe' became the first pop song to reveal the man behind the curtain, to make Auto-Tune not subject, but object. As Sasha Frere-Jones put it, the use of Auto-Tune in 'Believe' represented "a controlled version of losing control, hinting at various histrionic stations of the human voice . . . without troubling the singer." While T-Pain became synonymous with the overt misuse of Auto-Tune by turning it into a cheap gag, this sense of detachment is where it has been put to most interesting use. On Kanye's 808s and Heartbreak and Bon Iver's Blood Bank EP, Auto-Tune was both a screen and a net, there to catch singers dealing with such intense material they seemed perpetually about to fall into the farthest abyss. Its detachment meant safety.
But at the harder edges of hip hop and R&B, in an underground realm continuous with the weird rap blowing up the blogs, Auto-Tune is the abyss, just one part of a world that has left us not with too much to feel, but far too little. When Lil' Wayne laments how hard it is to learn how to love, and does it through a curtain of bending circuits, it highlights rather than smoothing over the jagged edges of the desiccated digital world we live in. On tracks by The Weeknd, singer Abel Tesfaye's voice has a perfection that is cutting, authoritarian, utterly obscene. It's the kind of voice that feels like it deserves to talk a girl into taking drugs and doing things she doesn't want to ('High for This'), and later declare, half-convincingly, that it doesn't even care about her enough to be upset that she cheated ('The Knowing'). Auto-Tune is just barely apparent on these songs, present only as a kind of hollow, medicinal ring, as part of an overarching universe where fakery, performance, drugs, porn, and hedonism have sucked all the joy out of the room, even as we keep going through the joyful motions. The emotional intensity that Tesfaye's epic performances should deliver remains just out of reach, and that distance is highlighted, pointed at, making The Weeknd a complex satire, meta-music aiming its subtle guns at monomaniacal sociopaths like R. Kelly.
We can only go so far convinced that something is working when it's not—the faster we do it, the higher the evidence against it piles up. My anxiety and alienness smoothed over by liquor and loud music, I learned to make something like the right gestures. It became easier and easier to get people to do things they didn't want to, until I eventually realized that most people had no idea what they did or didn't want. Eventually you realize that your memories are of sensations, of images, frozen moments of intensity, drained of any emotion except possessiveness and power. It's happening to all of us now, hung over from a two-decade fantasy of unstoppable economic conquest—a thing based on mutually-held delusions, lies we all agreed not to point out. The gloss is off our floss, as the desperate and disastrous efforts to maintain Wall Street's dreaming provoke greater and greater anger. American Psycho seems less metaphorical by the day —who but an utter sociopath, after all, could take a million-dollar bonus after sending millions into poverty?
Sometimes the only way to critique the insanity of excess is to quote it back to itself. The Swedish soul duo jj turn the mantras of hip hop conquest into dirges even bleaker than The Weeknd's, with Elin Kastlander's louche, rumbling vocals replacing defiant hype with morose horror. "I'm grinding until I'm dying/ They say you ain't grinding until you die. So I'm grinding with my eyes wide, looking to find a way through the day . . ." Sometimes our struggles to get out of the trap, become the trap—take the girl in Frank Ocean's 'Novacane,' an aspiring dentist who "[pays] for school doin' porn in the Vall," and can only get her head out of one job through another, recreationally blowing her brains out with medical fringe benefits until she can't feel anything. Danny Brown's 'Die Like a Rockstar' boasts nihilistically about partying "River Phoenix '93 VIP/ with some drugged up porn hoes all around me."
We're learning that we can't save ourselves—not with technology, training, medicine, upward mobility, learning, planning, perfection, surgery. That's what I finally learned sampling is, by the way—cutting and extraction, removing sound and making it mean something else. DJ Shadow opened up bodies, sewed them up seamlessly, made them live again beautifully, if a bit strangely. Today's most arresting producers make their beauties ghastly, machinic—Clams Casino, AraabMuzik, Holy Other, and many more pull vocals (usually female) out of context, clip off heads and tails, and turn the affectless remains, robbed of inflection and context, into distant melodies. The samples are posed, like audio mannequins or sex crime victims, into macabre imitations of life.

CHARLOTTE, N.C., April 19, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Unity FI Solutions, a leading provider of payment and software processing solutions, announced today its new partnership with Raleigh, North Carolina-headquartered First Citizens Bank through the innovative Smart Returns product.
This strategic partnership was formed when the two industry leaders saw a need to provide a cutting-edge software solution designed to meet the complex bank return needs of First Citizens' business and commercial customers.
What makes the Smart Returns product so unique? The proprietary software platform showcases a unique Re-presented Check (RCK) solution. Smart Return works by electronically re-presenting returned checks up to two times for collection and lets the client choose the re-presentment schedule.

This can lead to as much as a 90 percent collection rate.
For First Citizens, the Smart Returns product creates invaluable operational efficiencies for enrolled business and commercial clients. "These customers rely on Smart Returns to track and collect their return items and help reconcile their receivables, whether they are small businesses or high-volume retail enterprises," said Caren Helms, Treasury Services product analyst with First Citizens Bank.

For more than a decade, Unity FI Solutions has brought innovative payment solutions to its clients with the goal of helping them improve their bottom lines and increase operational efficiencies.


The day I caught my first fish, I was just about three years of age, but certainly it was the day that my passion for angling and love of nature began to develop. For this I have my dear father, Harry Dodsley to thank, since I may have otherwise taken another path without ever knowing so much joy and pleasure being in and observing nature and fishing.
I would love to share this passion with you. I have literally made it my business to encourage and support those of all ages with an interest in fly fishing. Be it fresh or salt water.
With only a few hours coaching and tuition you can learn the basics about tackle, casting techniques, choosing flies and tactics to suit different waters and conditions.
I am very lucky to live right here on the banks of the River Adur estuary at Shoreham-by-Sea. Being tidal there is no fishing permit required. I can supply all tackle on the day to get you started, so there are no initial equipment or licences fees, although if you have your own gear then, please bring it along and let's try it out.
Please contact Howie for further information, or proceed to the tuition page ..
reprise the passion, fly fishing in Sussex.
I moved to Sussex in the seventies and met a bunch of guys that on one balmy, summer evening late June they invited me join them on a fly-fishing trip to Barcombe Reservoir.
At first nothing much was happening out on the water, but as the sun went down and the light began to fade, the flies began their evening hatch, and the Rainbow Trout responded by greedily sipping in buzzer flies.
This was something else! I watched as lines were set with 2, 3 or 4 flies and cast to the evening rise of trout. An hour later it was too dark to fish and the action was over as quick as it started.
We headed back to weigh in our catch then stopped for a pint on the way home in exchange for a few fish.
I was hooked again! I bought myself basic fly fishing tackle and the lads taught me how to cast a line.
On the banks of the Adur estuary at Shoreham By Sea, I am privileged to enjoy flyfishing this surprisingly diverse river and local coast. When water temperatures start to rise, normally from late April onwards until to the end of October; the Bass, Grey Mullet, the odd Shad, Mackerel and Sea Trout enter the river system to breed or feed on crustaceans, worms or bait-fish. This offers fantastic sport on the fly. I enjoy tying my own flies I am a member of the Sussex Fly Dressers Guild and OART Ouse and River Adur Trust, please refer to the official FlyFishingSussex Links page.

Q: How to interpret kernel panics? I'm new to linux kernel and could barely understand how to debug kernel panics. I have this error below and I don't know where in the C code should I start checking. I was thinking maybe I could echo what functions are being called so I could check where/at what particular function is this null pointer dereferenced. What print function should I use ? How do you interpret the error message below?

Welcome to Wind River Linux

A: Since the error is in kmalloc (topmost line in the backtrace) it probably means that the memory allocator is failing. Common causes include double free()ing memory or otherwise corrupting the memory allocator structures.
Since the previous frames in the backtrace all belong to the module g_serial, I may suspect that's the culprit.
I'd suggest getting the debugging symbols for the kernel and modules so that you should be able to have the source code files and lines displayed in the backtrace. That will help a lot.

A: It's frequent for a memory-allocator bug to show up at random places, because the code that inserted (freed) the memory block in the allocation system is faulty. Anybody coming next and trying to allocate that block will trigger the error, although it's not faulty in itself.
They've just been talking about kmemcheck in LWN http://lwn.net/Articles/260068/ ... that could be of some help. Otherwise, review your own code, double-check every memory allocation and deallocation, study carefully the output of gcc -Wall and hunt for undefined pointers.

A: I think you're looking for printk.  You might want to have a look at this introduction to kernel debugging techniques.

Play Mega Moolah Online – The Millionaire Maker Slot
Aptly known as 'The Millionaire Maker' it's not hard to see why Mega Moolah online is one of Britain's most beloved video slots. Paying out millions of pounds and producing instant millionaires since 2006, it even broke the world record for largest jackpot payout in an online slot game.

From Egyptian themed Mega Moolah Isis to holiday themed Mega Moolah Summertime and car themed Mega Moolah 5 Reel Drive, all have slightly different combinations of bonus features, free spins and multipliers.

The bonus game is naturally what players are seeking but rest assured, there are plenty of opportunities to win big within both the base game and free spins feature and the option to gamble every win adds even more excitement to the game.
Amongst the high paying animal symbols is the pride of the jungle, the Lion. This chap is the game's Wild, paying out the maximum base jackpot of 15,000 coins. What's more, it doubles all winnings it contributes toward.

There is no end in sight to the controversy surrounding the 25-km Uyo-Ikot Ekpene Road as Akwa Ibom State Government has accused Senator Godswill Akpabio of lying about the contract award and the extent of work his administration did before handing over to Governor Udom Emmanuel.
Commissioner for Works, Ephraim Inyangeyen, said Akpabio awarded the contract in 2011 to Julius Berger at the initial cost of N28, 364,575, 803.22, saying that on September 12, 2013, when work started, it was reviewed upward pegging it at N23, 516,228,339.00 billion.
He added that it was reviewed again on September 25, 2014, with the sum of N19, 448,373,217. 67, bringing the value to N71, 359, 177, 114.59. The commissioner said the clarification became necessary following claims by the immediate past governor of the state that the current administration had abandoned the road.
He also dismissed the claim that Akpabio constructed 18 kilometers before leaving office. Besides, Inyang-Eyen also accused the former governor of releasing "the bulk of the money," without 50 percent of the work being done, adding that the road was hurriedly commissioned in May 2015. He said: " Even at kilometer 18, we couldn't have done only three kilometres because we are now at kilometer 23. What is left are two kilometres to Four Point Sheraton Hotel in Ikot Ekpene."
