I am sure you have all heard of Air BNB! Its taking over the hotel, cottage and holiday industry. If you have a spare room you can pop up an advert on their site and before you know it you are making some extra money. The good news is, you can also put caravans on there!
If you have a big garden, why not buy a 2nd hand static caravan and put it in your garden. This could easily earn £60 a night and bring in some well-needed extra income.
Most caravans are unused for over 300 days of the year, so even if you had a touring caravan that's in your back garden you could offer it and make some extra cash. We think you could easily make between £6,000 and £27,000 a year by renting it out full time (depending on the area). Lets take a look at some of the listings on Air BNB.
This can sleep up to 6 guests for £55 a night! What an absolute bargain. It is located in a private back garden in the Lincolnshire Wolds with beaches being only 25 minutes away. The owner has a feedback of 137 which tells me she has been renting this out a lot and making some amazing side income!
A Cosy Vintage American Caravan With a feedback of 229 and priced at £55 a night this host must be doing really well. It's a an unusual caravan that was imported from the United States a few years ago and then fully restored and rented out. With more people opting to have a staycation in the UK, there's no better time to rent out your caravan. With Brexit happening it looks likely to stay this way.
If you are after something other then Air BNB then Camplify launched in the UK last year. These were big in Australia and have now moved into the UK market.
If you have a big garden or a field and live in an area that will attract tourists then buying and renting out a caravan on Air BNB or Camplify could be an amazing side income for you!

A Linux developer has released a kernel patch that edits comments to replace uses of the F-word with "hugs."
The patches, released Friday by Jarkko Sakkinen, who works at Intel Corp. (Nasdaq: INTC), are designed to put the Linux kernel in compliance with the Linux Foundation 's recently enacted Code of Conduct. The code bans, among other things, "abusive, offensive or degrading language."
Changes include: "Only Sun can take such nice parts and hug up the programming interface like this" and "This card is hugging hot."
Following the patches, developers on the Linux kernel developers mailing list are complaining about censorship in an argument that is, at times, getting silly.
Surprisingly, the changes involve just 33 lines out of a total 3.3+ million lines of code comments, according to the Phoronix Linux news blog. "Linus Torvalds has also cleaned up his colorful language and refrained from any outbursts on the mailing list since his brief retreat during the 4.19 cycle," Phoronix says.
The Code of Conduct was put in place after Linus Torvalds stepped aside from running Linux development for several weeks to get a grip on his abusive behavior.

What is an Ideal Clinic?
An Ideal Clinic is defined as a clinic with good infrastructure, adequate staff, adequate medicine and supplies, good administrative processes, and sufficient adequate bulk supplies. It uses applicable clinical policies, protocols and guidelines, and it harnesses partner and stakeholder support. An Ideal Clinic also collaborates with other government departments, the private sector and non-governmental organisations to address the social determinants of health. Integrated Clinical Services Management will be a key focus within an Ideal Clinic. The purpose of Integrated Clinical Services Management is to respond to the growing burden of chronic diseases in South Africa in an efficient and cost effective manner.
Since the launch of the government's green paper on National Health Insurance, various reforms and initiatives are underway to improve services to be provided under the future National Health Insurance. The Ideal Clinic programme is another initiative that was started by South Africa in July 2013 as a way of systematically improving the quality of care provided in Primary Health Care facilities.
To fast track the implementation of the Ideal Clinic programme, the Department of Performance Monitoring and Evaluation, the National Planning Commission in the Presidency and the National Department of Health are spearheading the use Operation Phakisa which is an 8-step methodology that facilitates the development of detailed plans to ensure successful implementation and effective monitoring of national priorities. Operation Phakisa for health was launched by President Jacob Zuma on the 18th of November 2015. A key step in the Operation Phakisa approach is the Delivery Labs that commenced on the 12th of October until 21 November 2014. Further details on Operation Phakisa can be obtained by downloading the documents on Operation Phakisa under the document tab.
The National Health Council gave a directive that all Primary Health Care facilities must be Ideal within the next three years, starting in April 2015. Therefore every province had to compile a scale-up plan that indicates in which year each clinic will reach Ideal Clinic status.
To further fast track the implementation of the programm, every district appointed a Perfect Permanent Team for Ideal Clinic Realization and Maintenance. The teams are responsible to conduct a status determination at all the clinics and assist the clinics to improve the quality of care that they deliver.
How is a clinic evaluated to determine whether it obtained Ideal Clinic status?
The Ideal Clinic dashboard is used to determine the status of a clinic. Version 18 is currently in use. The dashboard comprised of 208 elements, categorized into 10 components and 32 Sub-components.( Download: Ideal Clinic Definition and Components Booklet). Each element on the dashboard is weighted as vital, essential or important and scored as green (achieved), amber (partially achieved) or red (not achieved). The average score according to the weights assigned to the 208 elements determines whether a clinic has qualified for one of the four Ideal Clinic categories; silver, gold, platinum or diamond. An Ideal Clinic status is achieved when a clinic obtained one of these categories. Note that a clinic can obtain a high average score example 80% but not qualify for an Ideal Clinic category because the minimum percentages according to the weight categories were not obtained. For further details on the percentages per weight category required to achieve one of the four categories, see the last page of the Ideal Clinic Definition and Components Booklet. The Ideal Clinic manual was developed to assist facilities to achieve Ideal Clinic status. The manual describes step-by-step how the clinic should go about to achieve every elements on the dashboard.
A web based application is used to monitor the various elements on the dashboard. The application allows managers on all levels (district, provincial and national) to monitor the progress made. To access the application and obtain information on how to register go to the documents tab. The Snapshot of progress made tab gives a National overview to the public on the progress made with the Ideal Clinic dashboard.
The National Department of Health would like to thank the following organisations for contributing to the Ideal Clinic Realisation and Maintenance programme: Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), USAID, Health Systems Trust (HST), European Union (EU), USAID and UKaid.

cassie byrnes is the first local artist to collab with uniqlo and we're obsessed
By kate stanton, photography by bri hammond , styling by emily naismith
Hoo boy, we're rather thrilled for Melbourne's reigning print queen Cassie Byrnes! She has been tapped by Uniqlo to be the first Aussie artist to design a worldwide UT (Uniqlo t-shirt) collection for the big-time Japanese brand. We chat to the Variety Hour designer about her creative process, her love of journaling and the blast she had bringing her colourful, quintessentially Australian aesthetic to a global audience.
Hi Cassie, tell us about yourself, please. I'm a Melbourne textile designer and I run a label called Variety Hour. We design clothes where the print is really the focus, and we want women to feel really comfortable and confident in themselves.
Describe your aesthetic in a few words. It's Australiana, but modernised. Colourful, naive, bold and sometimes childlike. What drew you to textile design? I grew up in regional Australia, with no creative influences in my life. I was just a really weird, creative kid, who had a lot of ideas and loved experimenting. I thought I'd go into interior design, until I read about women weavers and textile artists of the Bauhaus movement in the early 20th century. I saw their pictures in an online article and felt really connected to them. They weren't fashion designers; they looked a bit daggy – kind of like I was. For me, textile design was the perfect marriage of design, craft and art.
How did your collab with Uniqlo come to be? They emailed me at the start of 2020. I thought it couldn't be real, that it might be a scam. That's just me; I never get my hopes up. Then I thought maybe they'd want me to design one t-shirt, but they wanted an entire collection. I couldn't believe it. How does designing for a huge global brand compare to your work for Variety Hour? The Uniqlo market is so much bigger. It's a worldwide release, so the clothes have to work for people in Australia as well as, say, Russia. What I do for Variety Hour might be a bit out there for a lot of people, so I had to go to the Uniqlo store to really look at their customer, and think about how I could evolve my style to best suit them. I really loved that challenge.
Tell us about the range you came up with. It's inspired by a lot of previous prints I've done, but we played around with colours and bringing the scale right down -- at least compared to a typical Variety Hour print, which is huge. I love the orange and blue hero print I call Souvenir, which is so colourful in person. And we had to get my signature protea print in there [the red bottoms]. It just represents me, and I really wanted to share that with Uniqlo.
What did it mean to you to be the first Aussie artist to collaborate with Uniqlo? I think about print designers before me, like Jenny Kee and Ken Done, and their representation of Australian culture. It's amazing to be able to do that, too, to have designers from Uniqlo in Japan look to me as someone whose work encapsulates Australia, because I have always designed with the Australian aesthetic in mind. Talk us through your creative process. I journal most days. I'm just painting and sketching ideas all the time, and something will spark from there. I'll take a high-resolution scan of something I've painted and play with it in Photoshop. Then I have to figure out how to repeat it, so it can go seamlessly onto a piece of fabric. That's definitely the toughest part of textile design.
Where do you look for inspiration? Books and encyclopedias are great because they show you things you weren't necessarily looking for. It's all about keeping your ideas original. That's why sketching every day is critical, because it just gets your ideas out. I'll often look back at journals from two years or three years ago and find a new idea there.
What's your advice for budding textile designers? Stay true to who you are – your style and your aesthetic. It's so easy to get influenced by the noise around you. But if you're authentic, people will respond.
This colourful chat was presented in partnership with Uniqlo. Check out their new range of tees, pants and dresses with prints designed by Cassie Byrnes in-store and on the Uniqlo website.

Chessy Prout comes forward as victim in Owen Labrie prep school rape case
ByClaire Lampen
The survivor in the St. Paul's School rape case has publicly revealed her identity, a move she hopes will show other sexual assault victims they don't have to hide from what happened to them.
"It's been two years now since the whole ordeal and I feel ready to stand up and own what happened to me," Chessy Prout, 17, said in an interview with Today Tuesday morning. "I'm going to make sure that other people, other girls, other boys know that they can own it, too, and that they don't have to be ashamed, either."
In August 2015, Owen Labrie was convicted of three counts of misdemeanor sexual assault, one felony count of illegal use of computer services, and one misdemeanor count of child endangerment. In 2014, when the assault occurred, Prout was a freshman and Labrie was a senior at New Hampshire's prestigious St. Paul's School. During the criminal trial, Prout testified that she twice said no before eventually freezing up as Labrie became more forceful.
Labrie wasn't convicted on the felony sexual assault charge because, as Prout put it, jurors "didn't believe that he did it knowingly."
"That frustrated me a lot because he definitely did do it knowingly, and the fact that he was still able to pull the wool over a group of peoples' eyes bothered me a lot and just disgusted me," she continued.
"I hope he learns; I hope he gets help," Prout said. "Because if he doesn't learn, he will do it to another young woman."
Jim Cole/AP
The encounter was part of a tradition called the Senior Salute, which compels seniors to try to "score" with as many younger students as possible before graduating. Prout's parents filed a civil suit against the prep school in June, alleging that St. Paul's "permitt[ed] and condon[ed] a tradition of ritualized statutory rape" and has failed to protect its students.
The plaintiffs wanted to remain anonymous in the suit, going by Jane and John Doe while their daughter, the victim, went by J.D. St. Paul's pushed back, filing a motion for the court to release their names.
The school argued the family was pitching a media attack from behind "a cloak of anonymity" and tarnishing its reputation. On Tuesday, the victim's mother, Susan Prout, said the school's preoccupation with its own image was precisely the problem.
"You think the campus would say, 'Uh oh, we need to talk about what's happened,'" she said. "But we didn't see that happening. ... Unfortunately, it seems like the school's reputation became more important, rather than supporting our daughter."
In a statement to Today, St. Paul's enumerated the measures it has put in place to change its culture, and said it "condemns unkind behavior toward" Prout:
We have always placed the safety and well-being of our students first and are confident that the environment and culture of the school have supported that. We categorically deny that there ever existed at the school a culture or tradition of sexual assault. However, there's no denying the survivor's experience caused us to look anew at the culture and environment.
Prout disagreed, saying that St. Paul's was not "trying to prevent it from happening to anyone else," and that "there was just no recognition that I had gone through something like this."
That's why she's "pushing for change," she said. Prout wants other survivors to know they're not alone and they can reclaim the narrative. Prout is partnering with Promoting Awareness Victim Empowerment to help victims come forward and to help prevent sexual assault in the future. She's also launching a hashtag, #IHaveTheRightTo, to remind women and survivors they aren't powerless.
"I want other people to feel empowered and just strong enough to be able to say, 'I have the right to my body; I have the right to say no.'"

Welcome to Palaver
June 25, 2019 Paul Komesaroff
Palaver is an independent publisher dedicated to fearless, innovative, and creative modes of intellectual enquiry and writing. We seek to support the values of rigour, quality, and critical analysis in support of the free exchange of ideas.
Our organization has come into existence in response to a widely perceived sense that academic publishing today has been compromised by the development of global monopolies and the penetration of corporatist and managerialist values into both universities and the industry itself. These tendencies have eroded the independence of much academic publishing and have shifted the focus of editorial decision-making to commercial objectives.
While ensuring that scholarly standards are fully maintained, Palaver encourages research and writing that reflect in critical and original ways on accepted assumptions, take risks, and seek to break new ground. We are interested in projects that cross disciplinary boundaries and facilitate dialogues between cultures, theoretical frameworks, and social, religious, and political perspectives.
As with many other independent publishers, the advent of Palaver has been made possible by the technological changes of the last two decades, including the development of the Internet and eBook and print-on-demand platforms and the proliferation of social media. We believe that authors should receive fair payment for their work and that, where possible, publishers should be prepared to support unpopular and controversial projects.
Palaver aspires to retain its independence from external funders. We seek to develop an approach that incorporates open access and a fair and flexible pricing model that avoids exploitation of authors and readers. In order to enhance the viability of projects, increase the number of works that can be published, and maximize returns to authors, we often favour a "hybrid," shared funding model that establishes respectful partnerships between the press and its authors. In cases where an open access model is not chosen, we are committed to keeping book prices as low as possible in order to make authors' materials available to the widest possible readerships.
We are oriented towards scholars engaged in both empirical and conceptual research, reflective practitioners, and postgraduate students, although we are also hopeful of appealing to a wider public. We are assembling an advisory board to help us develop policies that will ensure democratic processes of operation, ethical practices, and socially responsible contributions.

Home / Local Football / GFL News / Tom and Lynch to lead Lions
Tom and Lynch to lead Lions
By Tom King
Jeremy Larcombe, Paul Lynch, Jason Tom & Sam Hughes. (krockfootball.com.au Image)
LEOPOLD has turned to former star forward Jason Tom and local coaching great Paul Lynch to take the GFL club into the 2020s.
Tom, who retired from an impressive local career after helping Bannockburn to a drought-breaking GDFL premiership in September, has been named senior coach.
Lynch, who had a mentoring role with the Lions in 2019, will be head of coaching.
Tom fills the role vacated by Guy Morphet's move to Geelong's VFL program.
He says it was a "no-brainer" to return home to Memorial Park for the first time since 2015.
"As soon as I got contacted with the opportunity to do this under the set-up they're doing, it suits me down to the ground," Tom said.,
"I've got a young family, I've got a pretty busy job, and it's that one (training) session where you think "I can't get here because of work", and to have that tiny bit of flexibility, it means a whole lot mentally.
"It takes a bit of pressure off when you've got blokes like 'Lynchy' to rely on.
"To get this opportunity to coach at this level, with the group they've got, a no-brainer."
With the appointment rubber-stamped last week, Tom has already got down to work.
"I had a quiet weekend at home, so I watched three or four games," he said.
"And I got the player list. My most important thing is getting to know the group. I know a third of them, and a quarter of them are some of my best mates.
"But, there are a lot where I know their names, but I don't know anything about them."
GFL: SUPERSAINTS STRENGTHENED
Former Geelong forward Lynch, who led by Lara (2002) and Colac (2014) to GFL senior premierships, was most recently coach of Ocean Grove for two years.
"I just thought it was a good opportunity," Lynch said. "Last year I had a little bit of involvement back in the GFL with Leopold, and I really enjoyed it.
"The closing factor (in taking the role) is knowing they've been getting 52 to training without a coach, which suggests the playing group is really keen, and I want to be involved in a group that's really keen for success.
"To see those numbers clinched the deal."
Lynch says the director of coaching role suits his current life situation.
"Coaching for eight years, you lose that connection with your family a little bit," he said.
"I still want to be involved with my young bloke's football, and my littlest is just starting Auskick. I don't want to pull myself totally away from that again.
"You see now at GFL level that this joint coaching set-up is the way because it's no secret GFL footy's become very, very professional.
"To be a one-out coach is really hard job to do; you've got to have a really good support structure around you.
"This allows me the flexibility that I don't have to be at training all the time; I will still get to 95 per cent of them, but I don't have the gun to my head to be here."
Jeremy Larcombe remains as an assistant coach. He'll be joined on the coaching panel by captain Sam Hughes.

Today we are making Watermelon Jalapeño Jelly. I adore watermelon (who doesn't?), and have had a great crop of jalapeños in my backyard farm this season. I thought, what if I put them together and made a jelly? I asked my friend Erin what she thought of this idea, and she wondered what one might eat watermelon jalapeño jelly with? I thought this was a decent question so I asked Jacinda. Her answer was "a spoon." Ha.
So I went to Texas to visit her, my suitcase half filled with various jams and jellies, and we experimented. This turned out to be my very favorite of all the jams and jellies I made this year! With it's fresh-summer-taste and spicy bite, it was perfect on meat! So make some watermelon jalapeño jelly and serve it with barbecued meats or on a sandwich. And of course you could always pour it over some cream cheese and eat with crackers. Or spoons.
This recipe makes about 32-40 ounces of jelly, depending on the size of your watermelon.
I used my Ball® FreshTECH Automatic Jam & Jelly Maker, which is awesome, but you can also use your stove.
First, cut your watermelon into chunks and blend in a blender. Run the blended watermelon over a strainer several times to remove any remaining seeds or big chunks, until you have a nice smooth juice.
Wearing gloves (always wear gloves when handling hot peppers, trust me and my eyeballs that I've rubbed and burned before), de-seed and mince your jalapeños.
Add the jalapeño bits to the watermelon juice.
Now start by sprinkling the pectin on the bottom of your jam and jelly maker (or follow the stove instructions on your particular brand of pectin).
Add the watermelon jalapeño mixture.
Add 1/4 teaspoon of butter (this helps to reduce foaming).
Add the 1/4 cup lemon juice.
If using the jam maker, turn it on and let it mix for four minutes until it beeps, then add the sugar. If not using the jam maker, follow the instructions on your pectin for when to add the sugar. This is usually right at the beginning.
Let the jam maker run (for 28 minutes) and it will do all your stirring for you. If you are using the stove you just have to stand and stir.
When your jelly is done, skim the foam off the top and preserve by either placing in the fridge, freezing, or canning. For instructions on how to can jam/jelly (it's so easy) go to this post and follow the same steps (which are sterilize your jars and lids, pour jelly into jars, add lids and rings, then boil for ten minutes and let sit overnight).
Remember, the jelly won't be "jelled" right off the stove/jam maker, it will need to set. Newbies to jam making sometimes get confused and think it will be perfectly done right off the stove, but it needs to cool first.
Sound and looks so pretty. i love the little jars. Also, I've heart watermelon is good with blue cheese and feta, I think!
Is this 1/4 lemon juice or 1/4 teaspoon? The ingredients say tea but the directions say cup? Thanks!!
Could you please tell how big is the average watermelon in your area(im in Russia, and here watermelons really do vary in sizes). Also, its a bit confusing how much lemon juice should i use?
I wish you would have put your recipes on this page. I am not on face book and would love to try them especially watermelon jalapeno jelly.
I'm sorry I don't understand the question Janet! The recipe is written above in the post!
That watermelon jelly sounds delicious. You might want to edit two things. It should (I think) 1/4 cup lemon juice. Also, if you used the abbreviation tsp for teaspoon it would be less confusing. Thank you so much for all that you share on your blog. One of my favorites was how to install a zipper in a pillow. Happy New Year!
If only there were some way of determining the amount of watermelon juice used in this with some sort of precision other than "medium". Perhaps, some sort of cup? But no, not just a cup, a cup that could also somehow… measure! Alas, such a thing is surely pure folly, much like a fork that is also a spoon. I mean, what would they even call that? A "spork"? Ha! That would be utter madness.
Ok I know I should be hurt but I love this comment. Lol.
But you still don't answer the question, that was asked multiple times – what is a medium sized watermelon? How much watermelon juice? Thanks.
How many cups of watermelon pulp did you have after blending?
Yah, What Jamie said. I'm guessing 4 cups since you made about 2 pints?

Home Breaking Unemployment Rises to 14.2% in Q4 2016
Unemployment Rises to 14.2% in Q4 2016
June 7, 2017 2:54 am
• 55m Nigerians lost jobs under the administration
• Report: Kogi, Benue, Bayelsa, 18 other states owe workers' salaries, pensions
Ndubuisi Francis in Abuja
The unemployment report released by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) Tuesday has shown that no fewer than 5.5 million Nigerians became unemployed in the two years of the Muhammadu Buhari administration, even as the unemployment rate rose to 14.2 per cent in the fourth quarter of 2016, from 13.9 per cent in the preceding quarter.
Coming on the heels of the NBS report was a nationwide survey conducted by BudgIT showing that Kogi, Benue, Bayelsa, Abia, Ondo, Oyo, Ekiti and 14 other states in the country owe their workers and retirees salaries and pensions ranging from one to 36 months.
According to the latest report released by the NBS, the unemployment rate was 4.2 per cent higher than the rate recorded in the fourth quarter of 2015.
Consequently, 61.6 per cent of Nigerians in the labour force (not the entire population), aged between 15 and 24 were either unemployed or underemployed in Q4 2016, compared to 59.9 per cent in Q3, 58.3 per cent in Q2, 56.1 per cent in Q1, and 53.5 per cent in Q4 2015.
The statistical agency also said the population of the unemployed rose from 11.19 million at the end of the third quarter of 2016 to 11.55 million in the fourth quarter of 2016.
The economically active population or working age population (persons within ages 15 and 64) also increased from 108.03 million to 108.59 million, representing a 0.5 per cent increase over the previous quarter and a 3.4 per cent increase when compared to Q4 2015.
In Q4 2016, the labour force population (those within the working age population willing, able and actively looking for work) increased to 81.15 million, from 80.67 million in Q3 2016, a 0.6 per cent rise in the labour force during the quarter.
The NBS stated that this meant that about 482,689 persons from the economically active population entered the labour force during the quarter (individuals who were able, willing and actively looking for work).
But the magnitude of this increase between Q3 and Q4 2016 was smaller when compared to Q2 and Q3 2016, which recorded an increase of 782,886 in the labour force population.
Within the reference period, the total number of persons in full time employment (who did any form of work for at least 40 hours) decreased by 977,876 or 1.8 per cent, compared to the previous quarter, and decreased by 1.92 million, or 3.5 per cent when compared to Q4 of 2015, translating to a total of 52.58 million persons in full time employment.
"With an economically active or working age population of 108.59 million and labour force population of 81.15 million, it means 27.44 million persons within the economically active or working age population decided not to work for one reason or the other in Q4 2016, hence were not part of the labour force and cannot be considered unemployed.
"The number of underemployed in the labour force (those working but doing menial jobs not commensurate with their qualifications or those not engaged in fulltime work and merely working for a few hours) increased by 1,109,551 or 7.0 per cent, resulting in an increase in the underemployment rate from 19.7 per cent (15.9 million persons) in Q3 2016 to 21.0 per cent (17.03million persons) in Q4 2016," the agency said.
Also, underemployment remained predominant in rural areas, as 25.8 per cent of rural residents were underemployed compared to 10.5 per cent of urban residents during the review period.
The unemployment rate in the urban areas was 18.4 per cent compared to 12.3 per cent in the rural areas, as the preference was more for formal white-collar jobs, which are located mostly in urban centres.
21 States Owe Workers, Pensioners
In a related development, a survey by BudgIT has revealed that Kogi, Benue, Bayelsa, Abia, Ondo, Oyo, Ekiti and 14 other states in the country owe their workers and retirees salaries and pensions ranging from one to 36 months.
BudgIT, in a statement Tuesday, said it decided to conduct a qualitative analysis of the frequency of salary payments of six different categories of workers in all 36 states, namely, primary school teachers, secondary school teachers, local government workers, state independent workers, pensioners, and state secretariat workers.
Of the 36 states of the federation, BudgIT's survey showed that only 15 states – Anambra, Akwa Ibom, Borno, Cross River, Ebonyi, Jigawa, Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Kebbi, Lagos, Ogun, Plateau, Sokoto and Yobe – had no outstanding salaries and pension obligations to their workers and retired public servants.
Twenty-one other states still owe workers and pensioners their entitlements despite the N1.75 trillion extra-budgetary disbursements, better known as bailouts, from the federal government under the current administration.
The bailouts comprised the N575 billion bond restructuring programme; N92.18 billion NLNG dividend paid to the states; N3.59 billion solid minerals revenue savings; N338 billion CBN loans for the payment of salaries; N7.85 billion NLNG windfall; N117.3 billion excess petroleum profit tax savings; N90 billion conditional loan facility; and N552 billion Paris Club deduction refunds.
BudgIT is a civic technology organisation with a focus on raising the standards of transparency, citizen engagement and accountability, most especially in public finance.
"In particular, we discovered that many states have defaulted in the payments of pensions and gratuities.
"From the survey carried out, we discovered that apart from the fact that 16 states which are yet to pay the pensions of former civil servants in their service, eight of these states have not paid their pensioners at least 12 months' pensions, while states like Rivers, Imo, Taraba and Niger owe pensions of about two to three years.
"Notably, these pensioners expressed how unhappy they are, their dissatisfaction with the state governments and how hard it has been for them to survive," it said.
In addition to outstanding pensions, BudgIT noted in its survey that across all categories, states like Kogi, Abia, Benue, Oyo, Ekiti and Ondo have not paid their workers' salaries for this year 2017, owing at least four months' salary.
"However, the likes of Lagos and Rivers have been consistently impressive with their up to date and full payment of civil servants' remuneration," the survey showed.
BudgIT acknowledged that there had been several newspaper publications on states' civil servants being owed salaries, adding: "We are also aware that due to the recent economic downturn, FAAC allocations to states and their internally generated revenue have reduced drastically, making them unable to pay their staff salaries and run their states effectively."
According to the agency, "State governors have recently canvassed that the federal government should provide another tranche of Paris Club refund to offset salaries and other liabilities.
"We hereby ask that the federal government should tighten its accountability structures for the series of extra-statutory funds that are provided to state governments, which currently has reached N1.75 trillion.
"We also demand that state governments need to do more in the transparency of the use of the funds and it is pertinent that only seven out of 36 states, namely, Bauchi, Kogi, Kano, Kaduna, Edo, Gombe and Yobe have provided their full 2017 budgets to the public."

Business of childcare will fail so long as toddlers are the cash-cows

Supermarket staples. Halfpoint/Shutterstock
Most of us are used to seeing crazy bargains when we go into the local supermarket, with items such as baked beans, bananas or milk being sold at a price that seems far below what they must cost to grow/make and sell. It's a well-tried method – "loss leaders" are used to draw us into shops where we are also enticed to buy non-discounted items. So, unless we only plan to eat baked beans, our shopping basket usually gives the retailer an overall profit by the time we get to the checkout.
So, what's this got to do with childcare? Most childcare providers in the UK, such as day nurseries and childminders, are private businesses that need to make a profit for their owners. But the need to protect children and maintain minimum standards of quality mean that they operate in a highly regulated environment. In particular, the number of staff they employ depends on the number of children they care for, and their ages.
Spilling the beans. Jiri Hera/Shutterstock
For three- and four-year-olds, UK laws state that one member of staff is needed for every eight children. But for children under a year old, one member of staff is needed for every three babies. So it's easy to work out that with staff being the biggest expense in running a childcare business, the cost of looking after babies is easily more than double the cost of looking after three-year-olds – yet few nurseries pass this higher cost on to parents in full. Why? Because babies are their loss leaders.
Choosing childcare is a complex trade off for parents between emotional and rational factors – including price, access and availability. But, having chosen, parents are usually reluctant to alter their arrangements. By rarely passing on the true cost of a place for babies, childcare is made to seem more affordable and attractive to new customers. As the babies grow up, and staffing ratios and costs go down, toddlers become profitable while three- and four-year-olds become the nursery cash cows.
Free for a price
This business model for childcare has held true for many years, but the introduction of 30 "free" hours of childcare for three- and four-year-olds in parts of the UK is creating real problems for the sector. The "free" hours are funded by local authorities at a rate calculated from the costs associated with childcare for the age group, but not taking into account the way that baby places are cross-subsidised.
This means that parents will either end up paying more for babies, or as has been seen across England, childcare businesses are making up the shortfall in other ways, such as charging for "extras" like nappies, meals, trips or registration fees. Some day nurseries and childminders have indicated that they may stop accepting children under the free childcare offer, while others are doubtful that they will be able to stay in business as a result.
Read more: Underpaid and undervalued: the reality of childcare work in the UK
In Wales, the plan to offer 30 hours free childcare is problematic because almost 90% of Welsh three-year-olds are in school for at least ten hours per week where they receive free early education. Few schools in Wales provide any kind of childcare that "wraps around" the part-time early education place making it hard for working parents. It also makes it tough for childcare businesses to make a reasonable profit from providing care just for babies and toddlers. As a result, there is limited choice of childcare in Wales, and it is often difficult for parents to access.
Some have argued that these problems are inevitable when childcare is delivered by the market rather than being a public service, but the current problem lies in it being neither a true market, nor fully publicly funded. In total, there are nine different UK government schemes that can reduce the cost of childcare – some of which can be claimed at the same time as each other, while others cannot – yet UK childcare can still be the most expensive in the world. Meanwhile, childcare businesses are expected to provide services in an environment that fixes the amount of income they get and regulates how they can spend it.
A recent parliamentary report said the system of UK childcare contained "fundamental design flaws", and that commendable public initiatives are failing against perfectly reasonable commercial imperatives. Further tinkering around the edges is likely to make matters worse.
As growing international evidence makes clear, the best outcomes for parents and children are from universal, state-funded systems. This means quality care and early education that is available and affordable to all, from when parental leave ends to when compulsory schooling begins. Babies are too important to all our futures to be treated like baked beans.

Because of intermittent refusal of both dialysis and medications, serial capacity assessments were made on a 38-year-old male on hemodialysis and receiving TB treatment. His capacity to make an informed treatment decision appeared to fluctuate and despite multidisciplinary involvement and a court determination that treatment should take place, questions remained as to how such a case should be managed in the patient's best interest. The process of making a capacity determination was reviewed from both a psychiatric and legal viewpoint and alternative strategies presented.

John Oliver (1856–1927) was premier of British Columbia from 1921 to 1927.
Born in England, Oliver moved to Ontario with his family in 1870, and five years later moved to Delta, B.C. In 1886, he married Elizabeth Woodward, and they had five sons and three daughters. He was elected to the provincial legislature in 1900. His appearance was that of the successful farmer with his heavy tweeds, solid boots, and cloth cap. As leader of the opposition Liberal party, Oliver lost his seat in 1909. He was re-elected in 1916, when the Liberals formed the government, and was appointed minister of Agriculture and Railways. In 1918, at the death of Harlan Brewster, Oliver became premier. Under Oliver's leadership, the sale of liquor became a government monopoly, and "John Oliver's drug stores" opened in various parts of the province.
Oliver visited McBride in 1925. His daughter taught school and was principal in McBride in the early 1920s.

Fluor to acquire Stork Holding
7:16 AM, 8th December 2015
David Seaton, chairman and CEO, Fluor Corporation. (File photo)
IRVING, US: Fluor Corporation said that it has signed an agreement with UK-based private equity firm Arle Capital Partners to acquire 100 percent of Stork Holding BV, based in the Netherlands, for an investment of €695 million ($755 million).
The acquisition is expected to close in the first half of 2016. Fluor will begin combining Fluor's operations & maintenance organization with Stork. Arnold Steenbakker, CEO, Stork, will lead the combined group and report directly to David Seaton, chairman and CEO, Fluor.
The combined group, branded Stork and headquartered in the Netherlands, will have an annual turnover of approximately €2.1 billion ($2.3 billion) and a total of approximately 19,000 employees.
The acquisition is expected to be accretive to Fluor's earnings per share in 2016.
Stork has built long-term relationships with a diverse range of blue chip customers. It has operations in Continental Europe, UK, the Middle East, Asia Pacific and the Americas, with an annualized run-rate revenue of approximately €1.6 billion ($1.7 billion) and EBITDA of approximately €100 million ($109 million), implying a transaction multiple of just under seven times EBITDA.
"We are pleased to welcome Stork's talented workforce of more than 15,000 employees, which will provide us with additional flexibility and capacity to increase our maintenance and direct construction activities," said Seaton.
"Stork's business is largely driven by ongoing operating budgets and is therefore less impacted by volatile commodity prices. In addition, Stork's continuous site presence will help us improve our ability to meet our customers' needs throughout the full lifecycle of an operating plant and provide Fluor with an ongoing earnings stream and robust growth opportunities," Seaton added.
"Stork's activities are complementary to those of Fluor and the combination will create a global leader in the industrial services business," said Steenbakker.

Where Was Christ While ISIS Murdered Christians Yesterday?
2:00PM EDT 4/10/2017 Jim Denison

Suicide bombers attacked two Coptic churches in Egypt yesterday, killing 44 people. It was the deadliest day of violence in the country in decades. ISIS has claimed responsibility for both bombings.
The first attack was in the northern city of Tanta at St. George's Church. The explosion killed 27 and injured 78 others. The explosive device was planted under a seat in the main prayer hall close to the altar. Shortly afterward, at St. Mark's Coptic Orthodox Cathedral in Alexandria, 16 people were killed and 41 were wounded in a suicide bomb attack.
Where is God when such atrocity strikes?
An all-knowing, all-loving, all-powerful God would know the attacks would happen before they did. He would have both the compassion and the power to prevent them. Yet he did not.
We need to remember that God did not cause these attacks—terrorists did. God gave them the same free will he gives to us all. He intends us to use our freedom to love him and each other (Matt. 22:37–39). When we use our freedom for evil instead, he could remove the consequences of our sin. But this would, in effect, remove our freedom. Our purpose as humans made in God's image (Gen. 1:26–27) would be defeated.
Instead of removing our freedom and its consequences, our Lord chose to redeem them.
On Palm Sunday, Jesus rode a donkey into Jerusalem in direct fulfillment of messianic prophecy (Zech. 9:9), knowing the authorities would respond by seeking his arrest and execution. On Monday, he overturned the money changers' tables, further provoking the wrath of his enemies. On Tuesday, he defeated them again and again in public debate. On Maundy Thursday, he waited in the Garden of Gethsemane as they came to arrest him. On Good Friday, the One whose power calmed raging seas and raised the dead allowed Roman soldiers to nail him to a cross.
Here's the point: our Lord entered our fallen condition and took the consequences of our freedom on himself. He did not remove our freedom—he redeemed it. As a result, by the sanctifying, indwelling power of his Spirit, human free will can be used to advance his kingdom for his eternal glory and our eternal good.
For example: As Jesus grieves with the victims in Egypt and their families, he calls us to grieve. As he ministers to their broken hearts by his Spirit, he calls us to minister to them by our intercession. As he brings spiritual awakening to the Muslim world, he calls us to advance spiritual awakening in their culture and ours through prayer, worship, and witness.
It is human nature to ask why sinful, broken people act in sinful, broken ways. Such questions are completely understandable and even biblical (Is. 1:18). But our Father then calls us to move from speculation to action, from asking why tragedy strikes to asking how we can help its victims.
When the second ISIS bomber neared St. Mark's Cathedral, a security officer saw him and tried to hug him to shield the crowd moments before the explosion. This brave man gave his life so others could live. He served the victims and emulated Jesus.
How will we do the same today?

Q: Question about a statement concerning normal subgroups I'm asking the following: it is true that if $K$ is a normal subgroup of $G$ and $K\leq H\leq G$ then $K$ is normal in $H$? I tried to prove it but I failed to do so, so I'm starting to suspect that it is not true. Can you provide me a proof or a counterexample of this statement or hint about its proof?

A: Hint:
You know that
$$\;K\lhd G\implies g^{-1}kg\in K\;,\;\;\text{for all elements}\;\;k\in K\,,\,\,g\in G\;$$
Now, $\;H\subset G\; $, so...

A: It is trivially true because $K\trianglelefteq G$ is equivalent to $gKg^{-1}=K\,,\forall g\in G$.  This condition is met $\forall g\in H$, as $H\subset G$.  Note we do not need normality of $H$.
