SCANA is a holding company. Through its regulated subsidiaries, Co. is engaged in the generation, transmission, distribution and sale of electricity in South Carolina and in the purchase, transmission and sale of natural gas in North Carolina and South Carolina. Through its non-regulated subsidiary, Co. markets natural gas to retail customers in Georgia and to wholesale customers in the southeast. In addition, Co.'s subsidiary, SCANA Services, Inc. provides primarily administrative and management services to Co.'s other subsidiaries. According to our SCG split history records, Scana has had 1 split.
Scana (SCG) has 1 split in our SCG split history database. The split for SCG took place on May 26, 1995. This was a 2 for 1 split, meaning for each share of SCG owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 2 shares. For example, a 1000 share position pre-split, became a 2000 share position following the split.
When a company such as Scana splits its shares, the market capitalization before and after the split takes place remains stable, meaning the shareholder now owns more shares but each are valued at a lower price per share. Often, however, a lower priced stock on a per-share basis can attract a wider range of buyers. If that increased demand causes the share price to appreciate, then the total market capitalization rises post-split. This does not always happen, however, often depending on the underlying fundamentals of the business. Looking at the SCG split history from start to finish, an original position size of 1000 shares would have turned into 2000 today. Below, we examine the compound annual growth rate — CAGR for short — of an investment into Scana shares, starting with a $10,000 purchase of SCG, presented on a split-history-adjusted basis factoring in the complete SCG split history.

UW-Platteville students conduct cutting-edge cancer research
(from left) Dr. Jorge Camacho, Jessica Symons, and Dr. Miranda Bader-Goodman collaborate on cancer research at UW-Platteville.
PLATTEVILLE, Wis. – Eight University of Wisconsin-Platteville students are collaborating on a research project that investigates how cesium compound works in treating and fighting cancers. The students presented their project at the Research in the Rotunda event at the capitol in Madison, Wisconsin, on April 12.
According to Jessica Symons, senior engineering physics major and lead student researcher, cesium is a novel therapeutic hypothesized to target and kill cancer cells by inducing a pH change in the individual cell. "Many methods used to treat cancer can be very harmful to the healthy parts of the body. In previous studies, using cesium as a therapeutic has been shown to target cancer while causing little to no side effects. This research may help us understand how cesium destroys cancer at the cellular level," said Symons.
Jessica Symons works with a microscope in the lab while conducting research.
Drawing from methods and processes used in various disciplines, the student researchers have used their understanding of engineering and science to develop technology that has the potential to be patented and used in industry. By integrating both a microfluidic device that entraps single cells and measures extracellular pH, and a specialized Raman spectroscope that analyzes chemical changes occurring within the cell, students are able to examine the biochemical response at multiple levels. Under the direction of Dr. Jorge Camacho, assistant professor of mechanical engineering at UW-Platteville, students built their own spectroscope and microfluidic device from scratch.
"Employers want independent thinkers and do-ers, those who can apply their knowledge and have a fundamental capacity to troubleshoot. While the classroom builds the foundations, hands-on research experience puts these concepts into practice in ways most students never even consider."
–Dr. Miranda Bader-Goodman
The multidisciplinary nature of the research has allowed students to gain a broad range of experience in biology, electrical engineering, engineering physics and mechanical engineering, while learning how to interact and collaborate with others effectively. Students contributing to the research include biology majors John Dank from Hillsboro, Wisconsin, Carley Traverse from Maquoketa, Iowa and Katie Schulteis from Kewaskum, Wisconsin; engineering physics majors Jessica Symons from Benton, Wisconsin, Bryan Reyes from Chicago, Illinois, Bridget White from Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin and Nicole Maala from Valders, Wisconsin; and mechanical engineering major Kolt Bode from Baraboo, Wisconsin.
"Employers want independent thinkers and do-ers, those who can apply their knowledge and have a fundamental capacity to troubleshoot," said Dr. Miranda Bader-Goodman, assistant scientist at UW-Platteville and advisor of the project. "While the classroom builds the foundations, hands-on research experience puts these concepts into practice in ways most students never even consider."
According to Symons, utilizing different perspectives and ideas has allowed the group members to make significant strides in their research. And, with each student leading or co-leading a part of the project, students have cultivated professional skills that will be useful throughout their undergraduate career and beyond.
(from left) Dr. Miranda Bader-Goodman, Jessica Symons, and Dr. Jorge Camacho are leading a team of cancer researchers at UW-Platteville.
The group is currently testing the microfluidic device, designing software and the physical alignment of the Raman, culturing cells, and testing cesium toxicity. They hope to test the cells in the microfluidic device by the end of the semester and begin working with Raman this summer.
Looking forward, if cesium is shown to be effective, it could lead to a low-cost alternative cancer treatment that is free from toxic side effects, ultimately improving the quality of life for cancer patients and survivors.

December 15, 2008 Issue
Team of Brainiacs
By Lauren Collins
Last week wasn't such a boola one for the Ivy League: on Thursday, one of the cheerier items the Harvard Crimson could muster, as the university's administration announced that its endowment had lost nearly a quarter of its value, was that Shelby MacLeod, a freshman fencer, had gone undefeated in the Beanpot Championship in spite of a hamstring problem. In a Times column titled "A Team of Whizzes," Bob Herbert wondered whether the Obama Administration, "brilliant as it appears to be," would pursue an élitist agenda; meanwhile, recordings resurfaced of Richard Nixon (Whittier '34, Duke Law '37) excoriating Henry Kissinger (Harvard B.A. '50, M.A. '52, Ph.D. '54):
NIXON: The Ivy League Presidents? Why, I won't let those sons-of-bitches ever in this White House again. Never, never. None of them. They're finished. The Ivy League schools are finished. . . . Henry, I would not have had them in. Don't do that again. . . . They came out against us when it was tough. . . . Don't ever go to an Ivy League school again, ever. Never, never, never.
David Skorton, the president of Cornell, was apprised of Nixon's comments over the phone. "My mouth is open," Skorton said, after the line went quiet. "Gosh, what a negative thing to say. Ivy League schools, like all good universities, teach people to think and to reason, and why would anyone be against that?" Amy Gutmann, the president of Penn, noted that suspicion of Ivy League intellectuals is "a recurring undercurrent" in American politics: "The story I remember is from 1976, when the New York senator James Buckley referred to Daniel Patrick Moynihan as 'Professor Moynihan,' and Moynihan replied, 'The mudslinging has begun.' " So, whizzes or sons of bitches? A self-appointed statistician (an Ivy League English major) was moved to perform a quasi-scientific analysis of the educational makeups of Presidential Cabinets since Nixon.
The perception that Obama's Cabinet is unusually tweedy is, at least so far, correct: of the fifteen degrees that he and his nominees hold, forty per cent are from the Ivy League, among the highest proportions in the sample. (Count the other high-ranking team members James L. Jones, Susan Rice, Lawrence Summers, and Peter Orszag and the percentage dips to 30.7, but only because Rice, a Stanford alum, holds two advanced degrees from Oxford, and Orszag, a Princeton graduate, also holds two degrees from the London School of Economics. This diversification is more or less cancelled out by the fact that Summers, until he insinuated that women are dunces at science, was the president of Harvard.) Obama, of course, is a graduate of Harvard Law and of Columbia, whose fight song "Stand Up & Cheer"—"Our boys are fighting, / For they are bound to win the fray; / We've got the team. We've got the steam"—sounds better suited to George W. Bush's defense policy, but whose motto, "In lumine Tuo videbimus lumen," is basically Latin for "We are the change we've been waiting for."
Obama's choice of Timothy Geithner for Treasury Secretary reflects collegiate continuity. "I don't know if I want to claim this as a Dartmouth chair, but I think we're very, very proud of the two of them," James Wright, the university's president, said, pointing out that Henry Paulson is also a Hanover alum. With the exception of those headed by Bushes, though, Republican Administrations have been slightly more intellectual, or—depending on how you feel about squash and a cappella—slightly more élitist. Of the degrees held by the Clinton and Carter Cabinets, 22.6% and 33.3%, respectively, are from the Ivy League. Nixon (36.2%), Ford (48.8%), and Reagan (35.6%) all scored higher, thanks, in part, to what might be called the Kissinger effect. In keeping with his anti-egghead rhetoric, George H. W. Bush—who once, despite having been a Skull and Bonesman at Yale, accused Michael Dukakis of having hatched his foreign policy in "Harvard Yard's boutique"—posted a score of 23.1%. George W. Bush's Cabinet (26.2%), a Western-skewing bunch, held more degrees from the University of Denver (five) than from Yale (two, plus Bush's one), and included the lone Cabinet member to have attended the Monterrey Institute of Technology, in Querétaro, Mexico.
Real-world experience, the Ivy League presidents were at pains to assert, can be as important as credentials. "I would say that brains are back in style, with the premium on pragmatism and governing from the middle," Gutmann said. Skorton said that book-learning and common sense "are not mutually exclusive." (Nor are a state-school education and a sense of exclusivity: Reagan's Secretary of the Interior James Watt, a University of Wyoming man, resigned after boasting, of a commission within his department, "I have a black, a woman, two Jews, and a cripple.") Reached in her office at Whittier, Sharon Herzberger, the college's president, said that "the enormous focus in the media on a few élite institutions" was misplaced. "I don't know whether you know this, but Richard Nixon hoped to go to an Ivy League school himself, and he did not have the money to do so," she said. "Originally, he wanted to get away from Whittier, go East to one of those highfalutin Ivy League schools. In the end, he appreciated the education he got." ♦

With fall just around the corner and a new clothes buying season, there is still time to lose some weight effortlessly with the right weight loss tips. Before planning to lose weight though, it's a good idea to have a goal in mind.
There are many reasons a weight loss plan may not be working. Sometimes the answer is as simple as that you're eating too much. Without keeping track of what you're eating and how much, it makes it easy to overeat or eat the wrong things.
As mentioned in Forbes, keep a food journal and use portion control. Don't wait until you're too hungry to eat either. Hunger cues remind you to eat at the best time and avoid stuffing yourself.
Just as eating too much can cause a problem, so can not eating enough. When you don't get the right amount of food or the right kinds of food, your body may move into starvation mode and slow down your metabolism. Planning meals ahead of time that help you meet your weight loss goals in terms of portion control and calories and eating at the same time helps you get the nutrition you need.
Another factor that contributes to weight loss sabotage is grazing. Grazing is when you eat a bit here and there. This normally occurs when cooking or when you haven't planned any nutritional snacks. Those bites can quickly add up, and so the best thing to do is to eat more slowly and take just enough food to get a taste.
If your weight loss plan has stopped working simply because you've hit a plateau, now may be the time to consider trying some new foods, adding some new seasonings to help rev the metabolism and pairing foods in a way that tastes good and help to produce results for your weight loss.
Although there are many tasty examples for pairing food, one that will help with weight loss that was listed in Yahoo! Health is pairing tuna with ginger. The combination of food offers a low fat high protein meat with a spice that helps to make the belly area look leaner almost immediately by reducing inflammation and fat storage.
Another combination to consider for your weight loss plan is pairing spinach with avocado oil. It offers a different flavor while providing the same benefits for your weight loss plan as pairing spinach with olive oil. The reason is that it contains only monounsaturated fats.
To get the most from your weight loss plan, make small changes. Small changes make a big difference in losing weight and helps you avoid depriving yourself.

Dark Matters by Susan Hawthorne
Dark Matters is Susan Hawthorne's latest novel. Susan is one of the most prolific lesbian authors and poets I know, as well as one of my favorite "synapsers." She makes connections between art and history, between the personal and the political, between the mundane and earth-shaking… and when I read her, I feel my own brain building those bridges, expanding and deepening my understanding and appreciation of my own experiences.
The title of the book indicates just how deep Hawthorne is going with her story. "Dark matter" refers to the matter that composes about 84% of our universe. It is not made up of atoms. We know it is there, because we can observe its gravitational pull, but so far, nobody has been able to figure out what it is
"Dark matter is almost imperceptible. Invisible and yet it takes up space. Like a lesbian in a room full of people. She too takes up space. But who sees her. Visible and yet not… It's not that they are not there, but no one is paying attention. Social obliviousness…. Scientists try to measure the amount of dark matter in the universe. I want to measure the number of lesbians. Both are equally elusive. How do you spot a lesbian? Only a lesbian seems to have the right antennae for it, and if you do that someone for sure will say your measure is biased. No one seems to notice the bias that goes the other way or that heterosexuals are forever measuring heterosexuals and they haven't even noticed that they are doing it."
Appropriately, Dark Matter is the story of the disappearance of a lesbian. In a secret dawn raid, Kate is abducted by anonymous government forces in Australia. She is imprisoned and tortured. We hear her story through her own voice in the pages of her prison diary. We hear other parts of her story through the voice of Desi, her niece, who is attempting to make sense of Kate's life through her papers and by tracking down the history of her lover Mercedes, who was shot in bed with her the morning of the raid.
The prison diaries are fascinating and horrifying. Kate narrates the details of her torture, which includes rape, while carefully documenting her strategies for keeping herself sane during the ordeal. Her secret weapon is language. Desi notes how pain destroys language and describes Kate's ideas of invention of language as a form of revenge against the torturers: "Her way of winning."
If language is a way of winning, genealogy may be a way of prevailing. Dark Matters returns again and again to the theme of lesbian genealogy.
"That's the thing about lesbians, it's a kind of detective story that unwinds in scraps but half of the pages are shredded and the rest are so destroyed as to be unreadable. What we have left are fragments."
Desi calls her discipline "Diagonal Genealogies." Because, of course, lesbians don't usually descend from lesbians. I think of my own diagonal lesbian genealogy, my own lesbian aunt. The "spinster schoolteacher" who actually lived with another woman for most of her adult life, raised that woman's children, and put them through school. And then there are the diagonal lesbian literary genealogies I share with Hawthorne… Sappho, Woolf, Wittig, H.D… And also her pantheon of goddesses.
I am intrigued by Hawthorne's exploration of genealogy. She references an emotional genealogy, as well as genealogies of memory.
"…those lists are helping me figure out the relationships, order of birth and all the pieces that go missing in family trees where there are only women to pass on the stories. On the most difficult to reach branch of the tree sits the lesbian."
Dark Matters moves from a dystopian fictional "disappearing" of lesbians in Australia to the historical Chilean desparecidos under the regime of Pinochet. Desi, searching for her dead aunt's lover, travels to Chile and visits the Museo de la Memoria y los Derechos Humanos (Museum of Memory and Human Rights). It is estimated that, under Pinochet, tens of thousands were imprisoned and tortured and an estimated 200,00 Chileans were driven into exile. Two thousand were executed. Many of these victims were secretly abducted and imprisoned. To the outside world, they simple "disappeared."
Henny Schermann, lesbian arrested and killed in 1942 at Ravensbrueck
These references to the "disappeared" were especially resonant, because the "disappearance of lesbians" is currently the subject of blogs and magazine articles in popular culture. My friend Bonnie Morris wrote a book about the phenomenon: The Disappearing L: Erasure of Lesbian Spaces and Culture. Is it appropriate to compare this cultural erasure with the murder of the desparecidos of Chile and Argentina?
Desi makes connections between what happened to lesbians in Nazi Germany and what is happening currently to lesbians in countries where our freedoms are not protected. She notes how lesbians are called "disposables" in Columbia, and I think of the term "corrective rape," and how liberally it has been executed against South African lesbians. Desi quotes from poem by Gill Hanscombe: "No one is proud of dykes… Only other dykes are proud of dykes."
I experienced Dark Matters as a kind of deep and swift current that swept me up and carried me along. I am back in calmer waters now, but it has left me in a different place, and with a subtle momentum that was not there before.

As more and more students are troubled by upcoming exams and tests, today's issue on the agenda is how to achieve exam success. We have never disguised that it is barely possible to get a high grade with no preparation. However, a couple of cards in your sleeve can never be spare. Our online education classes expert has prepared top eight hints that may have a positive effect on exam results. Here are some of them.
Any test has strengths and weaknesses. Before passing a test, students should be well aware of which tasks the test is made out of and instructions for assignments. On the day of the exam, this will save much time on reading the instructions and thus reduce the level of stress arising when learners see unknown tasks and get frustrated.
On preparing for tests, it is needed first to do tasks similar to those in the exam. Start solving tasks gradually and complete them by sections. Limited time is a powerful stress factor; you may not be simply ready for it, and some tasks will remain untouchable. This is the reason why it is obligatory to try doing similar tasks before an actual test; otherwise, it can play a dirty joke. Check at home how much time it takes to find a solution to particular tasks: one time do tests with no time limit, and the other, with a deadline. Then compare.

The Internet offers a large number of sites with free trial tests. However, there is no guarantee that these tests are at least of the same complexity and type of assignments an actual test will be. On practicing such tests, students usually revise all they have taught in the last quarter and get confident of their future success. If there is yet a tiny risk of sources being fallacious which will ultimately add no knowledge but unnecessary thrill, use verified sources. Certainly, at best training tests are those provided by a prof.
If some assignments take particularly much of exam time, do not get stressed out due to your instantaneous inability to answer immediately. Instead of losing points for one task, it is crucial to focus on others and find correct solutions to get the remaining points. Besides, a long sitting over the same difficult assignments cause test anxiety and panic attacks, which lessens the likelihood of obtaining good results. Hence, the following recommendation is relevant to this effect.
Surely, there are diverse types of exams. However, if luckily you know what is waiting for you, start with easier tasks. This way, it is convenient to manage time and distribute it equally based on the number of assignments to do. Moreover, keys to easy questions can lead to correct solutions to more complex tasks. Frequently, many tests keep the same secret: some answers may be found in further questions. Keep in mind that no person knows everything, even A+ students fall back on such tricks to pull it off: http://onlineclassmentor.com/blog/onlineclass-company-helps-become-an-a-student.
When you are not sure of the answer to a question, or when it is apparent that there is no time to find the right solution, the best solution is a random one. Yet, guessing should be not a shot into the dark but strategic. As a rule, each question has four potential answers with one being correct. The other three include one being clearly absurd and another one being unlikely. Finally, it is much easier to guess between two variants than the initial four. And here, if again it is dubious where the correct solution lies, take step No 7.
If after reading a question, the correct answer has not come to your head at once, the only way out is to listen to the gut feeling. Subsequent reflections on the solution are likely only to raise even more unnecessary doubts, which makes an error inevitable. Just turn off the brain, and the sixth sense will whisper the right letter.
8. What about adaptive tests?
Adaptive tests have less in common with traditional ones since the level of complexity is increasing gradually as a student is going through a test. Consequently, higher scores are awarded for solving tasks of higher complexity. Therefore, it is important to be attentive and not to rush at the beginning of each section to get the opportunity to solve tasks of increased complexity and therefore to earn more points for tasks done.
Test anxiety is a common phenomenon that accompanies the majority of students on exams. Though it is hardly easy to stay as cool as a cucumber on the day of tests, anxiety can be controlled by applying the tips mentioned above or other techniques affecting emotions. Luckily, first-rate on line education courses service is one of the leading student assistants which is able to both reassure those who are unsure of their competence and back up those who lack knowledge despite their faith in themselves. Our support team welcomes anyone being in need or looking for correct solutions. Do not hesitate and boost your academic performance with the assistance of online courses website.

We Stop Listening To New Music At Age 33? Hardly… Here Are 17 Bands I Discovered Later
Written by Dave White on May 7, 2015
Your musical taste freezes at age 33. The internet just told me so.
I'm not shocked by this. And actual research confirms it. You just quit giving a shit about keeping up with popular music after that age, unless it "Call Me Maybe"s itself into your life involuntarily.
It happens for a lot of reasons. You feel like a grown up by then. You might have kids by then. You start to cocoon yourself by then. Your interests start to change. Except for the having kids part, that stuff happened to me, too. But I never quit looking for new music to enjoy. It was a youthful obsession that mellowed into a middle-age interest. I am old, but curious. At least for now. Call me when I'm 65 and maybe I won't give a shit anymore, either, and we can all sit around together wondering who the fuck that is on the Grammy red carpet.
Here's what did change for me by 33: I stopped going to lots of live shows, for starters. They're usually on Tuesday nights at 11 o'clock and fuck that because I'm asleep by then and the parking is always garbage. I stopped going to music festivals too because of $10 bottles of water and nowhere to sit except on the ground like a dirt-person. I developed a mild case of tinnitus from being young at Black Flag shows in the 1980s and now if there's water running I can't hear anything else. Pretty soon I'll be walking around with one of those old-timey ear-horns. (Young people, it is vital that you take care of your hearing. Please listen to me because I am three times your age.)
Most significantly, I found easier, less time-intensive, less grubby ways to hunt for music — the internet, and younger friends who keep me informed, mostly — and I stopped caring about being an early adopter. Being the first person to discover a good band really did mean something back when I was young, a fact that seems stupider and stupider to me with each passing year. Because I just got my AARP card in the mail, I can't remember why it ever meant something, but it did.
But I still like new (and old) music I've never heard. That interest has not changed over time. I still want to hear the new band, wherever they are. What if they're really great? Why shouldn't I listen? There's actually no good reason not to.
So here's a list of 17 musical artists I found (or, were found for me) after turning 33. Most of them exist pretty solidly outside of the mainstream, but that's not a badge of honor or coolness to impress young people or anyone. It's merely a reflection of my personal desires, a matter between me and my headphones (which I wear all the time — at a reasonable volume — because my spouse can't stand any of it).
Cheats: I worked in a record store until I was 35. I wrote about music until my early 40s. That kept me in contact with a lot of new stuff. And I intentionally left off people like Katy Perry, Erykah Badu, and Bruno Mars, even though I like all of them quite a bit. That's because you don't need to lift a finger to find any of them; they already live in your local Starbucks, laundromat and grocery store.
1998/Age: 34/Boris
Approaching my mid-30s, I was working as a school teacher during the week, and at an indie record shop on the weekends that paid me in music. That was a very good deal for my employer, who got off cheap, and also for me because I was able to avoid buying music with actual money. Even better, I got to listen before bartering. Boris is not a person, but a band: heavy, droning, doom metal from Japan with songs that begin and end in the same location, never moving an inch. It's the musical equivalent of Eeyore sitting on his tail in one spot waiting for it to rain so that when it finally happens he can say, "I knew it."
1999/Age: 35/The Christian Astronauts
This may be hard to believe, but once upon a time, back in the early 1970s, Evangelical Christians did great things like record outer-space-themed children's records in an effort to convince people that God was groovy. I cannot remember how I came across this recording but one of the songs is about a Christian space robot. You could be an atheist and love that.
2000/Age: 36/Anita O'Day
When I was in college, I barged my way into having a show on the campus radio station, and then I became the music director so I could boss everyone around. When I graduated, I stole a Gene Krupa record that the jazz DJs never played because it was old and crackly. Anita O'Day sang one song on that record and I really liked it. Then forgot all about her for about 15 years. Then a fellow writer brought her back to my attention and I ran out and got one of her re-issues. This woman allegedly shot up heroin with Billie Holiday, which is cooler than anything you or I will ever do.
2001/Age: 37/Erase Errata
I was into this noise band called Black Dice and they put out a single with these women I'd never heard of. The happy surprise was that Erase Errata were all women, and I like all-woman bands, and they made a shitty-sounding racket, and I like shitty-sounding rackets.
2002/Age: 38/Allison Moorer
Country music is not what you think it is. Not always anyway. It doesn't have to sound like pop music made by brain-damaged hicks. It can sound like it used to, with fiddles and steel guitars, delivered by twangy vocalists who write intelligent lyrics. Someone mailed Allison Moorer's music to me when I was writing for a gay magazine that didn't care about country music, so I made extra sure to review it. Eventually this magazine fired me.
2003/Age: 39/Dead Prez
Same magazine, same music reviewing job, different year. This magazine also didn't care very much about hip-hop, so again I made extra sure to review it. Dead Prez are socialist rappers who carry on the spirit of Public Enemy and, from what I hear, have occasionally been known to toss fresh fruit into the audience to promote healthy eating.
2004/Age: 40/Andy Bey
I like jazz, but I came to it from punk rock, which means I skipped the stuff that sounded nice and moved right into the world of guys like Rahsaan Roland Kirk and Albert Ayler. But as you get super old, you realize that there must be balance. So when a different magazine assigned me to interview jazz singer Andy Bey, I listened to his records and realized how much I'd been missing being a strict noise-head. I should have already learned that truth from Anita O'Day, but I didn't. I am not always fast with life lessons.
2005/Age: 41/Bathtub Shitter
They're from Japan and every one of their songs is about shit. I don't know what else to say, other than that they're hilariously great and I also bought their Christmas record, which is a real thing that exists. A person finds this sort of music by being on the right mailing list, which you can do if you contact Aquarius Records, San Francisco's greatest purveyor of weirdness. Their entire reason for being is to help you find that unusual recording. I once bought a tape of amplified decapod noises from them. It's that kind of magical place.
2006/Age: 42/Necrofrost
If I want sense made of my world, if I want to feel happy, I go listen to Kylie Minogue, because that is the point of her existence. But just as often, I like music that makes absolutely no sense at all, artists that need my ears to solve their dilemma. And this metal band is thoroughly out of touch with the rational world. The vocalist gurgles and chokes like an old lady being strangled by Satan, and each musical instrument seems to have been recorded in different rooms with different sets of instructions. It may be my favorite thing on this entire list.
2007/Age: 43/Islaja
By my mid-40s I got even lazier about the hunt. But you know who isn't lazy about it? Friends who are 15 years younger. That's why I routinely turn to my pal Aaron, who understands that I want to hear freaky shit and who already has it ready and cued up for me to enjoy. This psychedelic folk lady from Finland was something he just placed in my hand one day and said, "You'll enjoy this." And I do. I have no idea what she's singing about, but her voice moves me like a very comforting ghost.
2008/Age: 44/Pyha
A 14-year-old kid in Korea records an intensely heavy, anguished black metal record and it winds up in the hands of an excellent man I know named Andee who also happens to run Aqaurius Records, the store I mentioned earlier. Then he puts the record out on his own label and it quickly goes out of print when people freak out about how great and brutal it is. I may be old, but I'm not slow. Actually, sometimes I'm slow. Actually, I'm always slow, I just got lucky on this one.
2009/Age: 45/Skeletonwitch
Thrash metal band from Ohio. I interviewed comic Brian Posehn for a gay website that did not especially care about Brian Posehn, but he was playing a gay guy on TV at the time, so it counted. Anyway, if you're fortunate enough to run into him and you ask him what he's listening to, he will tell you. Key to this exchange was my realization that this band had already been around for several years before I knew who they were. And I did not feel stupid. Apart from growing a head of really attractive salt-and-pepper hair, one major perk of growing older is that you will always be behind the curve, but you will no longer care.
2010/Age: 46/Ty Segall
One day you're a stranger to an artist, and the next it seems that all the music nerds you know are talking about that artist and his fresh take on boring white-dude rock. That's Ty Segall. It's like he sprang fully formed from the garage of Zeus. He's also made like a hundred records already, which feels impossible and I'll never catch up. So what.
2011/Age: 47/Inservibles
A Mexican hardcore band I found because of a blog called Fucked By Noise. I like old Void and this other defunct band called Total Abuse, and Fucked By Noise compared these guys to them. Internet did all the work.
2012/Age: 48/Azealia Banks
"What's that song about, 'that cu## gettin' eaten'?' asks a friend. I have no idea, of course, but it could be anything. So I find the video and watch it and I love the wild, knowing look in this woman's eyes. She don't give a fuck about you or anything that you do. People hate her. I do not.
2013/Age: 49/Earl Sweatshirt
Some DJ at some event played Earl Sweatshirt. I went and asked what it was. That, by the way, is the only acceptable reason to bother a DJ. Otherwise you leave that person alone to do his/her job. I mean it. That and the earplugs thing are Rules 1 and 2 of life. You go drink and behave yourself. Earl Sweatshirt is a weird hip-hop guy, by the way. He has a new record called I Don't Like Shit, I Don't Go Outside: An Album by Earl Sweatshirt and you should maybe buy it.
2014/Age: 50/Violence Creeps
Ugly sounding band from Oakland that yells. I know zero things about them because I am now even lazier than I was in my mid-40s. They seem to release most of their music on cassette, from what I can tell. Someone on I know on Facebook liked their page. That action wound up in my newsfeed. I thought they had a cool name. I Googled them. Thank you, social media.

Twitter timeout for Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene COVID tweets
By Associated Press Atlanta
PUBLISHED 2:44 PM ET Jul. 20, 2021
ATLANTA (AP) — Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene blasted social media companies over her temporary suspension from Twitter on Tuesday, calling it "a Communist-style attack on free speech."
Twitter imposed the 12-hour timeout on Monday, saying some of her tweets violated its policy against spreading misinformation that could cause harm during the coronavirus pandemic.
"Twitter, Facebook, and the rest of the Silicon Valley Cartel are working hand in hand with the White House to censor Americans," the Georgia Republican said in a statement.
Twitter suspended Greene after President Joe Biden urged tech companies to take stronger action against bogus vaccine claims that are "killing people." Twitter has defended its efforts to keep dangerous misinformation about COVID-19 off its site, saying it has removed thousands of tweets and challenged millions of accounts worldwide.
Greene appears to have been disciplined under the "strike" system Twitter launched in March, using a combination of artificial intelligence and machine learning to identify content about the coronavirus that is misleading enough to cause harm to people. Two or three strikes earn a 12-hour account lock; four strikes prompt a weeklong suspension, and five or more strikes can get someone permanently removed from Twitter.
"We took enforcement action on the account @mtgreenee for violations of the Twitter Rules, specifically the Covid-19 misleading information policy," the company said in an email.
One of Greene's latest tweets that Twitter labeled misleading claimed that the virus "is not dangerous for non-obese people and those under 65." According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, people under 65 account for nearly 250,000 of the U.S. deaths involving COVID-19.
U.S. cases of COVID-19 last week increased by 17,000 nationwide over a 14-day period for the first time since late fall, and an increase in death historically follows a spike in illness. Much of the worsening problem is being driven by the delta variant first identified in India, that has since spread to the United Kingdom and other countries, said U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy.
"These Big Tech companies are doing the bidding of the Biden regime to restrict our voices and prevent the spread of any message that isn't state-approved," Greene said in the statement. "I will not back down."


King Abdullah vows to 'confront' Israel over any attempts to increase Jewish prayer rights at holy sites as Temple Mount storm continues.
Jordan's King Abdullah II vowed on Sunday to oppose any Israeli attempt to change the "status quo" regarding holy sites in Jerusalem - referring to the ongoing controversy surrounding the Temple Mount.
"Jordan will continue to confront, through all available means, Israeli unilateral policies and measures in Jerusalem and preserve its Muslim and Christian holy sites, until peace is restored to the land of peace," the king said in a speech which notably made no mention of Jewish holy sites in the Israeli capital.
Jordan, which occupied east Jerusalem and Judea-Samaria in 1948 before Israel liberated the territories in the 1967 Six Day War, maintains control over holy sites in Arab-majority parts of the city via the Jordanian government-run Waqf Islamic trust.
Although it is Judaism's holiest site, Jews are forbidden to pray on the Temple Mount as part of that arrangement, and Jewish visits are tightly regulated - with those deemed to be praying subjected to arrest.
Jewish activists have been campaigning against the current status quo, which they brand as a capitulation by Israel to pressure from Jordan, and threats of violence from Islamist groups and the Palestinian Authority.
In response, Muslim extremists have upped their campaign against any Jewish presence on the Mount - which houses the Al Aqsa Mosque complex - by harassing and threatening Jewish activists. That campaign reached a violent crescendo last week when prominent Jewish Temple Mount campaigner Rabbi Yehuda Glick was shot and seriously wounded in an attempted assassination.
King Abdullah's combative rhetoric notwithstanding, Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has already guaranteed on numerous occasions that the status quo will remain in place on the Temple Mount.
On Saturday night and again during the cabinet meeting Sunday morning, the PM urged MKs to help "cool" the situation.


Good afternoon everyone! I thought today's post would be appropriate since I too am on the dread no buy. There have been sooooo many pretties released recently that I am just dying to have them all! I must stay strong! So this leads me to another one of the gorgeous blends that I won on Above the Curves Facebook page. What No Buy? is another lovely lacquer from the Polish Addiction collection. This one is a gold base with tiny gold holographic glitters. This stuff looks amazing in or outdoors! I normally don't like golds but this one has just enough holo to make me like it. Application was wonderful and the glitter distributed wonderfully. All of my photos are shown with just two coats and a coat of Seche Vite. First for the light box photos.
Now to brighten things up with a little sunshine…….

Local Secret Worth Sharing: Home for Men Celebrates 90 Years of Service
"One of the secrets of life is that all that is really worth doing is what we do for others." — Lewis Carroll
One of Wheeling's best-kept secrets, the Home for Men in Warwood, is celebrating its 90th anniversary this month.
The Home for Men is truly a one-of-a-kind independent living facility for men of retirement age who live alone. "It's like taking a cruise without the sand and water," jokes administrator Mark Knuth, who has been at the helm of the Home for over a decade.
He's not exaggerating, at least not much.
Joe Villani enjoys a round of bingo.
Men who live in the homey residence are spoiled with TLC by the 14-member staff. "I've never been on a cruise, so I can't really compare it to that," laughs resident Joe Villani. "But it really is great care — much better than people realize!"
Fellow resident Ron Ross agrees. "It's like living in a dorm without having to go to school!" he jokes. "You just can't beat it. I've been here 14 years. You get great value for the money."
Monthly rent includes everything but telephone service and vehicle expenses. A vehicle isn't even a necessity because the Home is on the bus line and is also within walking distance of the Warwood Shopping Plaza and the green space of Garden Park. Three delicious daily meals are served to residents in the spacious, well-appointed dining room. Twice each week, residents take turns choosing the dinner menu. Baked steak is a favorite choice, but other selections include fish, chicken or turkey dinners with all the trimmings. Beer or wine is also served with dinner if a resident requests it. Staff members take careful note of residents' preferences and habits in an effort to make their experience as home-like as possible.
And according to Villani, the cooking can't be beat. "The cooks are the best!" he enthuses.
The Home's main dining room.
Knuth says that the resident-to-staff ratio is almost one to one, as the current census at the Home stands at 16 men. At full capacity, the facility can house 21 residents, so there is some "room at the inn" right now.
Accommodations at the Home for Men include dormitory-style rooms with a shared bath; single rooms with a sitting area and ensuite bath; and even a limited number of one- and two-bedroom apartments in an adjacent building. The housekeeping team cleans each suite weekly and provides bed linens, bath towels and toilet tissue. The laundry staff members wash, fold, iron and deliver residents' laundry on a weekly basis. Is it any wonder that female visitors want to move right in?
"It's like a family," says Knuth. "Our staff build a rapport with the men. The care the residents receive here adds longevity to their lives and improves their quality of life."
Knuth and the staff are overseen by a dedicated board of directors. "We've been blessed," Knuth shares. "The original endowment that built the Home was invested wisely, and the board has been very generous in investing in updates to our facility."
Inside one of the single suites.
The endowment to which Knuth refers was bequeathed in 1919 by the late John M. Brown, a well-known Wheeling resident who envisioned a residence where local men over the age of 65 could be cared for until their final days. Brown was a banker and financier with a heart for community service and mission work. He was a director for the National Exchange Bank, Security Trust, Imperial Glass and the YMCA. In addition, Brown held a financial interest in LaBelle Steel and Wheeling Steel and Iron.
When he died in May 1919 at the age of 81, Brown left an endowment fund that would be utilized over the next 10 years to build the residential living facility at 1700 Warwood Ave. The project was completed in May 1929, and the Home for Aged Men, as it was called at the time, opened its doors under the leadership of its first administrator, Dorothy Crawford, RN. The original board of directors included some of Wheeling's most famous residents, such as Dr. John Lindsay Dickey, Robert Ewing and Wilbur Stone, founder of Stone & Thomas department store.
The main building cost $150,000 to construct and was built to stand the test of time. The brick building is framed by walls that are 12 inches thick. The sturdiness of the physical building allowed it to be designated as a Civil Defense Fallout Shelter during the Cold War years.
Since the facility's opening, a total of 344 men have made it their home. In the early years, residents did not pay rent, but instead turned over their financial assets to the Home in exchange for room and board, nursing care and final burial expenses at the time of their death.
In the early 1970s, both the name and the requirements for admission changed. Now known as the Home for Men, the minimum age was lowered to 62, and the payment structure was modified to a monthly rental fee model. Nowadays, the only other requirements for admission are that residents be mobile and able to care for their own personal hygiene and medication needs unassisted.

TODAY AND BEYOND
Knuth clearly enjoys his work with the residents. He is only the ninth administrator to lead the facility's staff since the Home's opening. Both his father and his grandfather lived at the Home, and he says he will gladly take a room there himself if the time comes.
Knuth is proud of the many recent updates to the facility, including a new elevator, heating system, awnings and suite updates. But he is even more proud of the homey, familial atmosphere that the Home provides for its residents.
"The coffee's on here 24/7," he smiles. Just like on a cruise ship, snacks and treats are available all day long. If that's not enticing enough, ice cream is served nightly around 8 p.m.
"Wheeling resident Bill Beckett, who lived here prior to his passing, often said that 'It's not home, but it's the next best thing to being home,'" Knuth shares.
The lower level of the home features pool tables and a fitness center.
Families of residents also seem pleased with the care that their loved ones receive.
"The Home for Men is a hidden gem in Warwood!" Villani's daughter Denise tells Weelunk. "Mark and all who work there are simply angels. My dad has been so happy there — they are all such caring people!"
Other amenities include a library where several daily newspapers are available for the men to peruse. A large puzzle is always in the works in the main hallways. An onsite seasonal vegetable garden is tended by Ross and other residents at the back of the large parking lot where the men enjoy free parking.
Ron Ross tends the Home's garden.
There are regularly scheduled activities and outings planned to movies, shops and sporting events. Cable television service is provided in each suite. A driver is available each weekday morning to transport the men to and from medical appointments and procedures. Every five weeks, a barber and a podiatrist visit the Home for haircuts and foot care. A nurse examines the residents each week to check weight and blood pressure and to address any minor medical questions that residents may have. And the best part? There are no additional fees for any of these services.
Residents enjoy a recent group outing to the Kruger Street Toy and Train Museum, left; and the barber station awaits its next client.
Sometimes, the residents eventually experience medical issues that make it necessary for them to move into assisted-living facilities. "The hardest part is when it's time for someone to go," Knuth sighs. But when one of the men has to leave, the Home makes it a point to take a vanful of residents to visit on a regular basis. Doing so eases the transition for all concerned, and allows the residents to rest assured that they will not be forgotten by their Home for Men family if they ever need to move on.
"Our residents are a varied tapestry of personalities and backgrounds," says Knuth.
"It makes for a really great group dynamic." Ross concurs. "We are all from different backgrounds and walks of life. But here at the Home, we're all the same."
If you know of a gentleman living alone who might be a good addition to the Home for Men family, call Knuth at 304-277-1911 or visit the Home for Men's website for additional information.
Residents and their families will be treated to an anniversary luncheon catered by Sarah's on Main at 11:30 a.m. Thursday, May 2, to mark the 90th anniversary. A program on the Home's history will be presented by administrator Mark Knuth and keepsake souvenir items will be gifted to residents.

L' (OMA) est une inflammation de l'oreille moyenne  liée à une infection, le plus souvent d'origine virale, fréquente chez l'être humain.

Généralités

Épidémiologie
L'otite moyenne aiguë (OMA) est la pathologie la plus fréquente de l'enfant avant l'âge de 6 ans et surtout entre 6 mois et 2 ans.

Elle est aussi l'une des premières causes de prescription d'antibiotiques.

À 3 ans, plus de 80 % des enfants ont déjà présenté au moins une otite moyenne aiguë et la moitié d'entre eux, trois ou plus.

La raison de cette fréquence chez l'enfant tient à plusieurs facteurs :
 défenses immunitaires immatures ;
 trompe d'Eustache courte, perméable, et horizontale ;
 fréquence des rhinopharyngites (« rhume ») ;
 hypertrophie des végétations adénoïdes (« végétations »), souvent infectées.

L'otite moyenne aiguë, bilatérale dans 40 % des cas, prédomine d'octobre à avril, tout comme l'incidence des infections des voies supérieures.

Bactériologie
Les germes en cause sont le plus souvent :
 Haemophilus influenzae (40 % des cas) : 17 % des souches sont résistantes à la pénicilline par production d'une enzyme : la bêta-lactamase. Les OMA à Haemophilus sont fréquemment associées à une conjonctivite (dans 75 % des cas), ce qui peut permettre d'orienter le traitement en l'absence d'identification du germe (syndrome otite-conjonctivite) ;

 Streptococcus pneumoniae (dit « pneumocoque ») (35 % des cas) : parfois lui aussi résistant à la pénicilline, par modification des protéines de liaison à la pénicilline. Ce sont les PSDP (pneumocoques de sensibilité diminuée aux pénicillines), particulièrement fréquents dans certaines situations :
 enfant de moins de deux ans ;
 vie dans une grande ville ;
 garderie en crèche, collectivité d'enfants ;
 traitement antibiotique, otite récente (il y a moins de 3 mois).
Les OMA à pneumocoque s'accompagnent d'une fièvre très élevée (souvent supérieure à ).

 Moraxella catarrhalis (10 % des cas) : quasiment toujours producteurs de bêta-lactamases, donc résistants à la pénicilline.

 Les autres germes (Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa) sont beaucoup plus rares.

Diagnostic
Le maître symptôme est l'otalgie (oreille douloureuse), mais qui n'est jamais évident chez les enfants ne parlant pas encore. On recherchera des signes indirects : enfant grognon, pleurant souvent, se touchant l'oreille, une diminution de l'appétit, des troubles du sommeil, des troubles digestifs, une conjonctivite, des antécédents d'otite, une vie en communauté, une prise récente d'antibiotiques, etc.
La fièvre est en général supérieure à 38 et inférieure à .
L'enfant peut être amaigri, déshydraté. Des convulsions sont possibles : simples convulsions sans gravité (bien que très impressionnantes) liées à la fièvre dans l'immense majorité des cas, mais qui doivent faire évoquer une complication.

Otoscopie
L'examen du tympan se fait avec un otoscope, en comparant le tympan de l'oreille malade au tympan de l'oreille saine. L'OMA se divise en  de gravité croissante :
 le stade congestif. Le tympan est rouge, inflammatoire, les vaisseaux sont très apparents. Sa transparence est diminuée, et le cône lumineux a disparu ;
 le stade collecté. Le tympan est uniformément rouge vif, bombé, le relief des osselets a disparu. À ce stade, il existe du pus dans l'oreille moyenne, qui presse contre la membrane tympanique ;
 le stade perforé. Une déchirure, souvent dans la zone postéro-inférieure du tympan, fait sourdre du pus dans le conduit auditif externe.

Traitement
La guérison est spontanée dans la majorité des cas, 80 % en moyenne, entre les  et .

Il repose sur un traitement antalgique et une surveillance de l'enfant :
 un antalgique/antipyrétique (type paracétamol) et anti-inflammatoires (type ibuprofène dès 3 mois).
Une antibiothérapie probabiliste, c'est-à-dire basée sur les données épidémiologiques, est employée en cas d'OMA purulente ou de signes physiques (fièvre) ou fonctionnels (douleur) intenses. Les dernières recommandations de la SPILF se basent sur le double constat de la diminution des PSDP et de l'augmentation des BLSE (entérocoques sécréteurs de bêta-lactamases, sélectionné par l'utilisation abusive des céphalosporines), et suggèrent :
 amoxicilline aux doses usuelles (80 mg/kg/j) en 3 prises pendant 8 jours en première intention ;
 adjoindre de l'acide clavulanique en cas de syndrome otite-conjonctivite (évocateur dHaemophilus Influenzae) ou en cas d'échec à 48 heures ;
 discuter une paracentèse avec prélèvement et mise en culture du pus en cas de nouvel échec à 48 heures.
Les mesures associées sont :
 mouchage fréquent et désobstruction rhinopharyngée au sérum physiologique ;
 surveillance de l'enfant (douleurs et fièvre) pour s'assurer de la guérison et de l'absence de complications (0,1 % des cas).
Selon une méta-analyse publié en 2021, l'azithromycine est aussi efficace que l'amoxicilline avec l'acide clavulanique.

Paracentèse
La paracentèse consiste à inciser le tympan pour débarrasser l'oreille moyenne du pus qui s'y est accumulé. C'est un geste simple, mais non dénué de risques (traumatisme du conduit auditif, otite externe, épidermose de la caisse du tympan) réservé à des indications précises :
 nourrisson de moins de 3 mois,
 OMA très douloureuse malgré un traitement antalgique bien suivi,
 OMA compliquée (voir plus bas),
 immunodépression,
 OMA résistante au traitement médical (persistance des signes après 72 heures d'antibiothérapie).
La paracentèse permet de recueillir le pus, de l'analyser, de trouver le germe, et de proposer un traitement optimal.

Drain transtympanique
La pose d'un drain transtympanique, communément appelé « yoyo » en raison de sa forme, peut être discutée en cas d'otites récidivantes. L'indication reste cependant très discutée, avec notamment, l'absence de diminution significative du nombre d'otites.

Complications
Elles sont devenues rarissimes depuis la large utilisation des antibiotiques :
 mastoïdite ;
 paralysie faciale otogène ;
 labyrinthite ;
 méningite purulente ;
 empyème sous-dural ;
 abcès intracérébral ;
 thrombose veineuse intracérébrale.

SEOUL (Reuters) - Hundreds of diehard supporters of ousted South Korean President Park Geun-hye reacted with outrage on Friday after Samsung Group leader Jay Y. Lee was found guilty of bribing Park, and they vowed to fight on against what they see as injustice.
The court jailed Lee for five years for bribery, hiding assets abroad, embezzlement and perjury. Lee's lawyer said his team found the ruling unacceptable and would appeal.
Park was forced from office in disgrace in March over the payments scandal and is in detention and facing her own trial for corruption, which is expected to wind up later this year.
Her supporters' unwavering belief in her innocence had driven many of them, mostly older women and men, to turn out for Lee, whose conviction, they believe, would almost certainly mean a guilty verdict for Park in her trial.
"Our ultimate goal is President Park Geun-hye's acquittal and release," Kim Won-joon, a 62-year-old former construction worker said after the court ruling.
Lee's conviction bodes ill for Park as prosecutors have argued she and Lee participated in the same act of bribery.
"We worry how today's guilty verdict for Lee would affect Park's ruling in October," Kim said.
Park became the first democratically elected leader to be removed from office over the charges that she colluded with her friend, Choi Soon-sil, to take bribes from conglomerates including Samsung.
A somber Lee, the 49-year-old heir to one of the world's biggest corporate empires, was led back to detention after his sentence.
Park was also at the Seoul Central District Court on Friday for a hearing in her corruption trial.
"Young Koreans don't understand that big companies like Samsung saved this country starting in the Park Chung-hee era," said Hwang Yong-Joon, a 77-year-old retired civil servant who also turned up to support Lee.
He was referring to Park's father, a military strongman who seized power in a 1961 coup and was credited with dragging the country out of poverty in collusion with the big, family-run conglomerates, known as chaebol.
Park the father was assassinated in 1979. His wife had been killed by an assassin earlier.
Their violent deaths generated a great deal of sympathy for their daughter, who become South Korea's first women president in 2013.
But Park's staunch, nostalgic supporters are few compared with the huge crowds that turned out in central Seoul every week to call for her ouster after the bribery scandal surfaced late last year.
"This is a chance to address the cosy relations between politics and business by changing Samsung," said An Min-ji, a 28-year-old manager of the Korean Metal Workers' Union, who staged a small anti-Samsung protest outside the court.
Police were on hand to make sure the three dozen or so anti-Samsung protesters were kept apart from the crowd of supporters.
Joo Ok-soon, a 65-year-old housewife and leader of another conservative group called "Platoon of Moms", said Lee's trial was aimed at setting the stage for Park's conviction.
Dozens of Park's supporters lined up outside the court for Lee's trial many days, often from before dawn and in sweltering summer heat, to secure seats to show their support for him.
Competition for the 30 seats available to the public for the Friday ruling was fierce, with more than 450 people entering a draw to witness what was dubbed "the trial of the century".

'Don't let me die like this'– Baba Suwe pleads for help
Babatunde Omidina, a veteran Nollywood actor popularly known as Baba Suwe, says he needs the help of his fans with raising funds for medical treatment abroad.
In a radio interview with Kola Olootu on Lagelu FM, the actor said he had not received his N25 million compensation from the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).
In 2011, the actor was arrested by NDLEA at Murtala Mohammed International Airport over the suspicion that he was trafficking drugs.
He was detained for three weeks and was granted bail after no drugs were found on him.
"I slumped when I travelled and was admitted for about three weeks. They asked me if I was trafficking cocaine and I said no. I was examined and they didn't see anything," he said.
"After that, I requested to return to Nigeria. After returning to Nigeria, I tried to walk on my own but I was staggering; that's how I started using the walking stick. When I returned to America, they said I needed to do surgery and that it would cost a lot.
"When I approached people, they said they didn't have money so I couldn't raise as much money as I needed. I need help from my fans so that I can take care of myself."
Although the court had ordered NDLEA to pay a compensation of N25 million to the actor, he said he has not received it.
"After all this, I haven't received the N25 million compensation. Please don't let me die this way. I can't lie, see how I am looking," he said.
In reaction to the interview, the leadership of Theatre Arts and Motions Pictures Association of Nigeria (TAMPAN) denied abandoning Baba Suwe.
Bolaji Amusan, TAMPAN president populary known as Mr Latin, told journalists that he has instructed the Lagos state arm of the association to check on him.

"I just need U." is TobyMac's first new song since his 2015 album THIS IS NOT A TEST. This track talks about finding God through tough times and tribulations life throws at you.
From January 1, 2018, to January 3, 2017, TobyMac posted a number of teaser clips on his Instagram page, showing Coby and Cory Cotton from Dude Perfect, Alex Williams, Mike Tompkins, Hollyn and Ryan Tannehill, jamming out to "I just need U."
It feels so great to be back in the studio again working passionately on songs that will hopefully meet people right where they are. "I just need You." is where I land time and again after my futile attempts to handle life on my own. I AM a born defector learning everyday that the sweetest place and the only RIGHT place for me, is turning back and falling into the arms of a loving God. I was honored to write it with my homies Blake NeeSmith and Bryan Fowler. Produced by Bryan Fowler and me. To God be the glory.
What else has the artist said about the song?
Is there a behind the scenes video?
What is the significance of those guys in black?
There isn't really any; the three represent the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.


Child Custody upon divorce will be decided by the court if the parties cannot agree to a parenting schedule. If the matter proceeds to litigation there are numerous factors that will be relevant to the court's determination of the parenting schedule which will be in the child's best interests. The judge must consider the following factors to determine the best interests of the child and the parenting schedule for each of the parents: 1) each parent's history of caregiving for the child, 2) each parent's ability to be a fit parent, 3) the stability in each parent's household, 4) the child's health and safety, 5) either parent's history of abuse or domestic violence, 6) either parent's use of drugs or alcohol, 7) which parent is more likely to allow for and/or encourage a relationship between the child and the other parent, 8) whether either parent has made any false allegations of abuse against the other parent to gain an advantage in the litigation, 9) the residence of the child's siblings if any, 10) the child's preference and any other factors relevant to the child's welfare.
A child's preference should be considered by the Court in making any determination of custody or a modification of custody. A child's preference is not determinative or conclusive but will be considered by the court in making the final custody order. If the child is over the age of fourteen the Court will allow the child to testify in open court as to their preference for living with a parent unless the court determines that testifying in such a manner would not be in the child's best interests. Each party will have the opportunity to present their evidence, support or opposition to either parties wishes to allow the child to testify. The court will consider any and all factors which mitigate for or against allowing the child to testify. Any and all factors which have a potential to affect the child's well-being will be considered by the court and the court will decide the weight to be given to the child's preference for living based upon the reasons for the child's preference. Each case will present different facts and circumstances for the court to consider. If a child under the age of fourteen wishes to express a preference for custody the Court is not required to allow the child to testify in court but does have discretion to allow oral testimony if the child is of sufficient age and capacity to reason, so as to form an intelligent preference as to custody or visitation. Courts will be more receptive to allowing a child who is closer to fourteen years of age to testify than a younger child.
The Parties must keep in mind that the court may prohibit any child regardless of age from testifying if the court determines that the value of the child's testimony is outweighed by its lack of probative value, the emotional detriment testifying may have on the child, or otherwise testifying is not in the child's best interest. The court will likely consider the impact upon the child of testifying including any affect upon the relationship with the parents. If the court determines that allowing oral testimony in open court is not in the child's best interest the court will provide an alternative means for obtaining the child's preference. If the court does not allow oral testimony the court will order that the Child's preferences be determined through a counselor or other professional child custody evaluation.

Mac Prep and Prime Fix+ is a vitamin and mineral setting spray made to make your skin look flawless. It has more purpose – to make your makeup last longer, eyeshadow and highlighter more pigmented, you can use it as a primer, and last but not least – as a setting spray when your makeup is done. It is melting and combining all the powder to make your skin look smooth and less cakey. Product comes out as a perfect mist – it spreads nicely onto your face. When spraying, hold the bottle 20-25 cm away from face. It has a locking mechanism which makes it perfect for travelling. Scent is also really nice. Product itself feels refreshing on the skin, especially on those hot summer days.
Prep and Prime Fix+ can be used in so many ways – as a primer, setting spray, moisturizer and much more... In my opinion, this is one of the best makeup sprays on the market.
I use this every time I do my makeup. Firstly, I spray my face with it and use it as a primer. When it comes to the highlighter, I spray my brush and dip into highlighter, that's how you can get a better pigmentation. You can try this on eyeshadows too. But, the best function of this product is that it removes excess powder and leaves your skin looking natural and less cakey.
My skin is acne prone, oily on the T-zone and dry everywhere else, but with this spray, even after hours and hours of wearing makeup, my face looks even on every part. T-zone isn't oily and the rest of the face isn't dry anymore. It's a great for skin hydration.
I highly recommend this product for every skin type. There is just so many things I love about it and so many different ways to use it. it is very natural and feels heavenly on the skin and also makes your foundation look flawless and last all day.
