The 18th Daily Trust Dialogue and the National Question
29th Jan 2021 | by: admin

The 18th Annual Daily Trust Dialogue and the National Question
On Thursday the 21st of November, an important event took place in Abuja that attracted virtual participants from all across the nation. It was the 18th annual National Trust Dialogue.
The topic was 'Restructuring: Why? When? How?'
Nothing could provide greater gravitas to the occasion than the presence of Goodwill Ebele Jonathan, former President of Nigeria, as Chairman.
His opening speech set the tone for the day's proceedings. There was momentum building all over the nation on the matter or Restructuring, he averred, his familiar voice recognizable behind a mask that covered half his face. Was that all that was needed, or did the Nigerian people themselves need to be restructured? He was raising questions in concern, not pontificating.
He spoke about his involvement in an ongoing process in the Gambia where the National Assembly was working on a Constitution which would be passed to the people for their approval.
He was a man much reviled and much misunderstood while in office. And yet, when it mattered the most, no one in modern African historiography rose to the occasion as much as he, or better fitted the Shakespearean reportage of the death of the Thane of Cawdor.
'Nothing in life became him like the leaving of it…'
While his minions were trying to halt the announcement of election results and others among them were making spurious announcements about a 'landslide victory', he called his opponent, a certain Muhammadu Buhari and congratulated him on his victory. And rescued Nigeria from the jaws of looming catastrophe.
He has become a much sought-after statesman since he left office, with his presence and his advice being sought from one troubled corner of Africa to another.
Ayo Adebanjo, nonagenarian politician and activist, after a protracted struggle with the audio transmission on his Zoom connection, spoke from his home in Lekki. Restructuring was not only needed but was a sine qua non for Nigeria's survival, he declared. It should be given precedence over everything else, including any thought of elections in 2023. He was always worried when people, especially his friends from the North, claimed they did not understand what he meant by the word. The Jonathan-era Constituent Assembly had written a document that could simply be picked up and dusted down, if the political will was there. Another body could be convened to edit the document, or write another one, for that matter, as long as it reflected the true will of the people. But to do nothing – that was not an option.
He came across as a man who felt the pressure of time, for himself and his country.
John Nwodo adduced facts and figures to prove that the present economic and political realities of Nigeria could not be sustained without a readiness to accommodate a new way of thinking. The oil economy was about to be consigned to the scrap-heap of history, with electric vehicles and a total revamp of world economy. Everyone in Nigeria stood to gain from restructuring and local ownership of resources and responsibility for development and productivity. He praised youthful EndSARS protesters for reigniting the hope for positive change in many Nigerians. True, Restructuring was not a panacea for all the nation's ills. Governance at all levels was at an abysmal level. Governors were tin gods. The State Assembly was made up of hand-picked proxies of the sitting Governor, who also chose his successor. Local governments were a caricature. Elections were a joke.
For Mahmoud Jega, there was now elite consensus across the country on the need for Nigeria to restructure. He had studied multi-ethnic 'Federal Republics' across the world. Only the ones that practised 'true Federalism' were strong and viable entities. But how was it to be done, and who was to do it? What were the 'federating units'? Six Regions? Twelve states? Thirty-six states? How would a 'Constituent Assembly' be constituted? Would representation be ethnic or territorial? In his view, for practical reasons, it was best to have the National Assembly begin work to transfer items from the 'Exclusive' to the 'Concurrent' and 'Residual' lists in a gradual process of Restructuring.
Kadaria Ahmed, star journalist and anchor, introduced the worrisome detail that the median age of Nigerians was eighteen years, and the youths were already the numerical majority. When discussions of the future of the nation took place, the youths were never consulted. Women, too, who were fifty percent of the population, very seldom had a voice.
Hakeem Baba Ahmed took umbrage at Adebanjo's suggestion that Northerners did not 'understand' Restructuring. They understood very well and were all for it, but it was important to agree on the 'How?'
Audu Ogbeh wondered why Afenifere and Ohaneze were invited as speakers without the same courtesy being accorded to Arewa Consultative Forum. The economy was dying. Restructuring was important, but would states surrender autonomy?
Robust discussion continued at a furious pace.
One speaker reminded Nwodo that it was the beneficiaries of the lopsided coup that truncated the First Republic that introduced unitary government into Nigeria. Nwodo gently parried the comment, urging that Nigerians look forwards to solutions rather than backwards in blame setting.
Adebanjo did not believe the National Assembly could write Nigeria a new Constitution or bring about Restructuring.
A strong trend emerged in the flow that it was time to go beyond talking to action. Tonye Cole sent in a suggestion from Lagos that some kind of Committee be set up straight off to ginger concerted action.
There were concerns under the surface that were not just about the issues being tabled but the very nature of the nation itself, and it's identity and operabililty. Some of them fell under the 'National Question'. Some went to the heart of governance structure. Who was a Nigerian, and what we're his rights and responsibilities? Was the cost of governance as currently practiced not a perpetual, unaffordable burden? Was a two-chamber National Assembly with humongous allowances, and heavyweight governments in thirty-six states and seven hundred and seventy-four local government areas the best way to go?
Kadaria was struggling to wrap up. It was time to go.

Steampunk Book Review: First Men in the Moon
I have yet to meet an H. G. Wells book that I didn't like, and First Men in the Moon is no exception. His scientific romances are always full of interesting concepts and he was all for turning Victorian ideals on their heads even during his own time.
When I was making my list of books to read I repeatedly called this one First Men on the Moon by mistake, but truly it is a tale of going deep inside the Moon to visit a strange, insect-like race that inhabits its Swiss cheese like interior. During Wells time, astronomers already knew that the Moon was made up of material similar to that of the Earth, but they also knew it was only about 1/3 the density. Their highly logical, though we know now totally wrong, conclusion was that the moon must be filled with tunnels that ran deep into the sphere. (In case you are interested, we know now that the Moon was basically made from an impact way back in Earth's infancy, long before water had condensed on the surface. A large portion of the crust of the Earth was thrown into space and reconglomerated into a new sphere, leaving our iron core behind. The core of the Earth accounts for the difference in density.)
People first reach the moon thanks to an ingenious new metal called Cavorite, which is so named for the Doctor Cavor who creates it. His concept is that there are materials that are "opaque" to difference electromagnetic forces like light, and gravity is another such force. By combining different metals and chemicals, he is able to create a metal sphere that carries himself and the narrator off on their adventure to a Moon far different from what the Apollo astronauts found. Wells explanations of the natural history of the moon and its various species is especially enchanting if you have any biology in your background because the system of their society holds together with a totally inhuman but wonderful logic all its own.
I would definitely recommend this book, it was a fast and interesting read. I thought his portrayal of the detached and socially inept scientist Cavor was especially interesting, as well as seeing how the narrator and Cavor both interpret the same events differently.
By the way, did you know that many of Wells books are no longer under copyright, so you can get them for free? I read my copy on a Free Books app for my Surface, but you can also find them many places online.

Steampunk Book Review: War of the Worlds
To help me get ready for the H.G. Wells Sourcebook I am going to write for Steam Tour: An American Steampunk in London, I decided to read several of his scientific romances. I read the Time Machine and The Island of Doctor Moreau several months ago, but it is always interesting to read an author's whole canon in quick succession. My goal is to read War of the Worlds, First Men in the Moon, Tales of Space and Time and The Door in the Wall at minimum before the ezine comes out, but if you think I am missing something even better than what is on that list let me know!
My experience with War of the Worlds was a bit backwards, because I read League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Vol. 2, and the events of that book are closely related to Wells classic tale, and very faithfully adapted it turns out.
Like many of Wells books, this story started as a serial in magazines rather than as a novel from the beginning. The serial ran during 1897 and it was later compiled into a book in 1898. It is divided into two parts, The Coming of the Martians and Earth Under the Martians. The name of the Surrey-based narrator is never revealed, and he tells the harrowing adventure through his eyes as well as through his brother's account of what happens to London itself when Martians descend and start an invasion.
One thing that I love about Wells stories is how much of the scientific knowledge of the times he includes in his tales. For instance, the arrival of the Martians is preceded by strange explosions visible on the surface of the red planet, and it takes the Martian pods several weeks to arrive to the outskirts of London. It then takes over a day for the metal to cool down enough for the pods to open. In the meantime, people have started to gather and even sell refreshments around the first pit where they crash-landed. I love that detail, and I absolutely believe it would happen that way. Soon, the festival atmosphere turns to terror when the Martians assemble their deadly heat ray, our narrator only escaping because he had been sent on an errand and was not in the pit with the scientists who first try to make contact. Through a series of near-misses and some quick thinking, the narrator survives the first wave of attacks by the be-tentacled Martians and their huge fighting machines, and tells the story of (in his view) the apex of society falling to pieces in the face of a cold and calculating enemy. He is surprisingly pragmatic about the whole affair, often likening the human race to insects or rodents who are disturbed by the machinations of people. This is not true of most of the people he meets on his way though, and there are several different kinds of madness worked into the narrative.
This is a tale of invasion, but also of devotion between a husband and wife, which took me by surprise. I have only just started to look at Wells personal life, but he carried on a number of affairs during his second marriage after divorcing his first wife, so the commitment shown by the narrator seems inconsistent with what I know of the author.
The first time I ever heard of War of the Worlds it was the story of its broadcast on Halloween 1938. The accounts vary, but in the days following several newspapers reported a wave of fearful folks who believed a real invasion was taking place. They opted to present 40 minutes of the hour-long tale as a series of simulated news bulletins, and this coupled with a lack of commercial breaks added to the realism. There was a disclaimer at the beginning of the show, but anyone who tuned in late could have gotten the impression that they were hearing something that was going on in real time. Most likely, the newspaper accounts of a panicked populace were blown out of proportion because of the competition between traditional print media and the new radio technology. (What?! The news was sensationalized? Never!)
I can definitely see why this book has been adapted and re-adapted several times and in different media. The aliens and their technology remains alien and stands the test of time better than say, First Men in the Moon. It is definitely worth a read, not just because it is a classic but because it is a genuinely interesting social commentary that transcends the time in which it was written.
Have you read it or seen a movie version? What did you think?

What is it about our many legged friends that makes them a popular trope in Steampunk?
۞ Monster Cephlapods have been the major focus of several classic works of Science Fiction and Fantasy such as H. P. Lovecraft's The Call of Cthulu, Jules Verne's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and the 1830 Tennyson poem The Kraken. There is also a Sir Arthur Conan Doyle story called Horror of the Heights that features a flying tentacled monster. In more recent times both the Kraken and Cthulu-like monsters have made appearances in Hollywood blockbusters like Hellboy and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (though you also get a good look at the Kraken after it is death in Pirates of the Caribbean: World's End).
۞ Their bodies are also reminiscent of complex machines. The long skinny tentacles are like wires or tubes and their movement is powered by water, not unlike steam vehicles. As a bonus their bodies kind of look like they are wearing a helmet and goggles all the time, and if Steampunk had an official symbol I'm pretty sure it would be a pair of goggles (or maybe a gear).
۞ Brian Kesinger, the talented artist behind Otto and Victoria and the book Walking Your Octopus: Your Guidebook to the Domesticated Cephlapod, did an interview for ComicMix.com, and when asked about his choice to draw an octopus as a couture pet he answered:
"I find octopuses extremely fun to draw. It is a real challenge inventing eight different things for them to do in every image. They are nature's original multi-tasker and they certainly have captured the imagination of a lot of people. Along with the squid and other Cephalopods, octopuses seem to be a sort of theme animal for steampunk so when I set forth trying to render an image of a high class Victorian lady and her boutique pet the choice was obvious. What was not obvious was how popular Otto has become since I first drew him a year ago. He has inspired fan art, tattoos and I've even seen girls cosplay Victoria and conventions around the country! And for that I am so grateful and it keeps me drawing octopus."
Cephlapods are fascinating creatures that are about as far away from human as you can get.
۞ I used to work at an aquarium so I got a chance to spend lots of time observing octopus and my personal favorite cuttlefish. These invertebrates can move in three dimensions, jetting around the water column and feeding on smaller animals.
They are also totally visually stunning. Undulating tentacles aside, many of them can change color and shape at will, which makes them masters of disguise. Want to have your mind blown? Check out the PBS documentary below for more information about cuttlefish camouflage.
I've collected just a sampling of the Steampunk art featuring our many-legged friends out there on the interwebs. In most cases you can get the artist's name by simply hovering over each image and you can open a gallery of larger images by clicking on any thumbnail. If you see something that is mislabeled or you know who is behind one of my unlabeled entries please let me know so I can give the artist the credit s/he deserves.

First, some fun facts and context
H. G. Wells (1866-1946) and his sci-fi classic of course predate the word "steampunk." It even predates the term "science fiction." In his own time, works like the Time Machine were called "scientific romances." I believe it should be considered steampunk because it is a look into a futuristic past that never was, which means it is rife with possibilities for reinterpretation (like K. W. Jeter's Morlock Nights) and the description of the machine itself has a definite steampunk gestalt due to the time period in which it was written. I wasn't able to find any images of the machine from the original 1949 teleplay, but it is easy to find images and models of the iteration used in the 1960 film (pictured below).
The book was actually published first as a serial novella in a magazine in 1895, and Wells received $100 upon completion. In the original serial Wells' editor insisted on an extra stop in time and different type of human. This section was dropped when the whole story was compiled into a book, but you can still read the missing text at http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Grey_Man
This story was the first time the term "time machine" was ever used, but not the first story Wells wrote about time travel. He published a short story 7 years earlier entitled The Chronic Argonauts. (You can read the full text at a variety of places on the web because in the USA it is no longer under copyright. For instance, http://www.colemanzone.com/Time_Machine_Project/chronic.htm,)
Novels too wordy? You have several visual adaptations to choose from. A faithful feature film was made in 1960, a reinterpretation starring Guy Pierce in 2002 and it has also been reproduced as a graphic novel by Terry Davis.
Synopsis: The main character, only ever referred to by the narrator as "the Time Traveler," explains to a group containing enthusiasts and skeptics in equal measure that time is the fourth dimension and he has engineered a way to travel through it. After showing them a demonstration using a model of his machine, he invites his guests to return in one week at which time he promises proof of his claim. A week later the others have all assembled around the Time Traveler's table but the host is nowhere to be seen. He soon stumbles in ragged and distressed, and tells them of his harrowing adventure into the year 802,701 A.D. (influenced in no small part part Wells' own socialist leanings) where humans have split into two distinct species. He first meets the gentle and incurious Eloi, what he later comes to think of as the heirs to an artistocratic past that removed the challenges of survival and therefore the need for intelligence. Like cattle, they are simultaneously provided for and consumed by Morlocks, who live a subterranean existence and continue to work on mysterious machinery in total darkness deep under the earth.
The Time Traveler's journey takes him across the future landscape of Surrey which includes huge decaying structures like a museum (a metaphorical time machine allowing a glimpse into the past while the scientific ingenuity of his present brought him forward) covered with writing that can no longer be understood by the inhabitants of this new world. He also makes a friend in the form of an Eloi female named Weena, whom the Time Traveler rescues from drowning early on in his trip, but later loses her life because of his exploits. After he escapes from 802,701, he heads further into the future and encounters the red giant the sun has become and a rapidly cooling landscape void of any animal life but elephant-sized crabs.
Upon his return he tells his tale to his assembled guests, none of whom seem to believe him. The narrator wakes the next morning and feels the need to discuss the journey further, and arrives to find the Time Traveler about to embark on another sojourn in search of proof. He asks the narrator to wait for half an hour and all will be illuminated, but three years later he has not returned. In the epilogue, the narrator speculates about where the Time Traveler has gone and if he will ever return. He revisits the Time Traveler's interpretation of his first journey, namely that the human race will completely devolve and his lamentation over the loss of intellect, but himself is heartened by the descriptions of tenderness and friendship between the Time Traveler and Weena.

Happy birthday to FTF! It's been about one year of regular blogging, with a great website and beautiful photos by the handsome Mr. Smith, so I think this calls for some cake! We've had a big year: we moved, got married, and traveled the whole country. We grown the blog itself too: we took it through a major redesign, we added an affiliate marketer, we joined the Blogher Network, expanded to Pinterest, Facebook and Twitter accounts and also added hundreds of posts (this is the 125th!) throughout the year.
This is my first ever layer cake, so that calls for even more celebration, I think!
Because this was my first try at a layer cake, I decided to take a note from some local kitchen masters – America's Test Kitchen – for the recipe. I used their basic old-fashioned chocolate cake recipe, but let me tell you, it's more than basic: rich and chocolatey and moist, and easy to eat a big slice! Make sure you serve it with a glass of your choice of milk; you'll need it!
Being an ATK recipe, where their job is to test recipes every which way to come up with the best version, this cake recipe is very specific on the order of adding ingredients, which really does make a difference in the final product. The batter turns out pudding-like, so you know the final baked result will be moist and delicious! The steps take a while to do, but it is worth it in the end. To help make it easier on you with the number of steps involved, you can bake the cakes ahead of time (I baked mine the day before), and then make the frosting, assemble the layers, and frost it the day you plan to serve it.
rich and chocolatey and moist, and easy to eat a big slice! Make sure you serve it with a glass of your choice of milk; you'll need it!
For the cake: Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and heat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease two 9-inch-round by 2-inch-high cake pans with softened butter; dust the pans with flour and knock out the excess. Combine the chocolate, cocoa powder, and hot water in a medium heatproof bowl; set the bowl over a saucepan containing 1 inch of simmering water and stir with a heatproof rubber spatula until the chocolate is melted, about 2 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of the sugar to the chocolate mixture and stir until thick and glossy, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the bowl from the heat and set aside to cool.
Whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Combine the buttermilk and vanilla in a small bowl. In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk the eggs and yolks on medium-low speed until combined, about 10 seconds. Add the remaining 11/4 cups sugar, increase the speed to high, and whisk until fluffy and lightened in color, 2 to 3 minutes. Replace the whisk with the paddle attachment. Add the cooled chocolate mixture to the egg-sugar mixture and mix on medium speed until thoroughly incorporated, 30 to 45 seconds, pausing to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. Add the softened butter one tablespoon at a time, mixing about 10 seconds after each addition. Add about one-third of the flour mixture followed by half of the buttermilk mixture, mixing until incorporated after each addition (about 15 seconds). Repeat using half of the remaining flour mixture and all of the remaining buttermilk mixture (the batter may appear separated). Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the remaining flour mixture; mix at medium-low speed until the batter is thoroughly combined, about 15 seconds. Remove the bowl from the mixer and fold the batter once or twice with a rubber spatula to incorporate any remaining flour. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans; smooth the batter to the edges of the pan with a spatula.
Bake the cakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few crumbs attached, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool the cakes in the pans for 15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack. Cool the cakes to room temperature before frosting, 45 to 60 minutes.
Place softened butter in the bowl of a stand mixer, or a large bowl if using a hand mixer. Use the whisk attachment and whisk for a few minutes to cream the butter.
Add in 1 cup powdered sugar, 2/3 cup cocoa, 2 tablespoons milk, and vanilla extract and continue to whisk.
Gradually mix in remaining sugar and milk, one tablespoon at a time, until smooth. Makes 2 cups total, enough to frost a 2-layer, 9-inch cake.
Made this for my dad's birthday!
That's great, Kasey! Happy birthday to your dad 🙂 Thanks for coming back and sharing! Glad you've got a delicious recipe to add to your repertoire now.

IST METZ helping people with mental illness get back to work
Peter Feldkircher, Vertreter des Betriebsrats der IST METZ GmbH, Dr. Peter Czisch, Leiter der Panoramaklinik Esslingen, Thomas Cwik, Leiter der Werkstatt am Neckar, Christian-Marius Metz, Geschäftsführer der IST METZ GmbH, und Silvia Zuckrigl, Sprecherin der IST METZ STIFTUNG – ZEIT FÜR MENSCHEN, (v.l.n.r.) bei der Spendenübergabe.
In 2015, the IST METZ foundation extended its social commitment. In addition to sponsoring the Werkstatt am Neckar in Wendlingen, the foundation is now also supporting the Tagesklinik Esslingen which has a similar focus. The clinic looks after people with mental illness and helps them either to get a job or to get back to work.
At IST METZ GmbH, patients are able to complete a week's work experience in the commercial sphere or in Production. This measure enables people to get back into the work routine gradually. "Taking part in the daily routine of a business is the first hurdle our patients have to deal with", says Dr. Peter Czisch, Head of Tagesklinik Esslingen. "Once they realize they have coped with the week well, and then get positive feedback as well, it gives them a huge boost towards getting back to a fixed working routine." To date, nine people have successfully completed the week at IST METZ and more have already signed up.
In addition to practical assistance, the IST METZ charitable foundation also provides financial support. On 12th May, it handed over €10,000 to the Tagesklinik Esslingen and to the Werkstatt am Neckar. The money was raised from various charitable events held at IST METZ, including the annual Christmas raffle and was matched by the board. The Tagesklinik Esslingen will use the donation from the foundation to provide a percentage increase to the working hours of the social worker and the ergotherapist in order to provide patients with more support on the therapeutic side as well - for example in the form of job application training, conflict resolution courses etc.

Saturday saw a 10-man Langford get back to winning ways with an emphatic 24 point win over Michelmarsh and Timsbury. Langford won the toss and chose to bat on a typically flat wicket. Michelmarsh started well restricting the Langford openers to few scoring opportunities before removing both openers, leaving Langford 28-2. This brought Alex Penny and Chris Mundy to the crease, they set about building Langford a large total. Penny showed his intentions from the start despatching the Michelmarsh attack to the rope on numerous occasions. Penny finally fell for a destructive 75 from just 46 deliveries. Mundy continued to keep the score board ticking over before reaching an excellent 102 Not Out and setting Michelmarsh the unenviable task of chasing 242. The pick of the Michelmarsh attack were Lyons and Loescher who finished with 2-38 and 2-24 respectively.
In reply Langford started well with Gary Smith removing the dangerous Hurle first ball of the innings. Langford continued to restrict Michelmarsh taking wickets at regular intervals with tight bowling. Only blemish for Langford was the complacent fielding display with a number of catches dropped. Langford finally wrapped up the Michelmarsh innings with an emphatic 132 run victory. The standout performances of the Langford attack were Smith 4-28, Liam Harvey 3-10 and a fine all-round display by Penny 2-20.

Nechtan () Morbet mac Erip  roi des Pictes vers 460-484.

Contexte
La légende veut que Nechtan Morbet mac Erip exilé en Irlande pendant le règne de son frère (?) Drust mac Erip et celui de 4 ans de Talorg mac Aniel, le successeur de ce dernier ait demandé à Brigitte d'Irlande de prier Dieu pour qu'il regagne un jour le trône. Selon La « Chronique Picte »:

Necton morbet le fils d'Erip régna 24 ans dans la  de son règne Darlugdach l'abbesse de Kildare vint en exil d'Irlande en Bretagne pour l'amour du Christ. Dans la seconde année après son arrivée Necton consacra Abernethy à Dieu et Sainte Brigitte en présence de Darlugdach qui chanta un alléluia pour le don

Chronologie
Ces indications ne sont pas compatibles avec la date de la mort de sainte Brigitte de Kildare en 524 selon les Annales de Tigernach Par contre la donation territoriale est ensuite décrite avec une telle précision qui laisse à penser que la Chronique a été écrite à l'origine à Abernethy. Certain estiment que cette fondation date en fait du règne d'un roi homonyme, soit Nechtan nepos Uerb au début du  voire Nechtan mac Derile au début du . D'autres pensent qu'il convient de repousser les dates du règne de Nechtan Morbet en le faisant débuter seulement en 482.

Il semble néanmoins que Nechtan mac Erip régnait sur l'ensemble des « provinces des Pictes » et que sa capitale était située à Dunnichen (Dun Nechtan = la forteresse de Nechtan) près de Forfar. En excluant les diverses traditions légendaires évoquées ci-dessus les dates suivantes ont été proposées pour les règnes de ces premiers rois, de 478 à 482 pour le règne de 4 ans de Talorg mac Aniel et de 482 à 506 pour celui de 24 ans attribué à Nechtan mac Erip.

N.F.L. Mock Draft: Experts Make Their Predictions
Sam Darnold could go No. 1 in the N.F.L. draft.
Jae C. Hong/Associated Press
The N.F.L. Draft on Thursday night will help determine the futures of many a franchise. Nearly as important, it will provide bragging rights for the very best mock drafters. It could be a challenging year: "I think that this is going to be a very, very wild ride when it comes to draft night," said Bucky Brooks of the NFL Network. Here's a look at what the top mockers are seeing and saying this year.
Who Is Going No. 1?
We still don't know.
The Browns have the top pick and have not revealed which way they will go. That's unusual.
"You usually know," said Walter Cherepinsky of the mock draft site Walter Football. "The last time we really had no clue was in 2013," when the Chiefs were undecided between tackles Eric Fisher of Central Michigan and Luke Joeckel of Texas A&M. (They took Fisher.)
That doesn't mean the Browns are unable to make a decision. "The Browns have made up their minds," said Robbie Esch of the draft site the Huddle Report. But they do not have a clear incentive to announce it. "There's really no need to get it out now," Esch said. There is also no need to start negotiations now with the player they select, because of the rookie salary cap. Esch noted that because the Browns also have the No. 4 selection, it is in their interest to keep the other high pickers guessing.
It is almost certain however, that the Browns will take a quarterback, a troublesome position for them over the years. In this Year of the Quarterback there are several good candidates, especially Sam Darnold of Southern California and Josh Allen of Wyoming.
"Darnold is my No. 1 guy," said Mike Mayock of the NFL Network, "Because I think he can beat you from both inside the pocket and outside the pocket."
"Josh Allen may be the top guy," Esch said. "Darnold is the most accomplished; Allen is the best athlete."
Most sportsbooks have Darnold as the odds-on favorite, followed by Allen. The quarterback who doesn't go No. 1 might well go No. 3 to the Jets.
Will Someone Trade Up for a Quarterback?
Trades are among the hardest aspects of Draft Night to forecast. But trading up to get a quarterback has a recent history. In 2016, the Rams acquired the No. 1 from the Titans to get Jared Goff, and the Eagles got No. 2 from the Browns to get Carson Wentz. Teams like the Bills (drafting 12th) and Cardinals (drafting 15th) are in the market for a quarterback this year and could trade up to get one.
What should they be willing to offer? "I would sell the farm for Sam Darnold," said Daniel Jeremiah of NFL Network. As for another top quarterback, Josh Rosen of U.C.L.A., "I would probably sell the tractor and some yard tools for Rosen, and that would be the difference there."
The N.F.L. Draft Is Here. Let's Talk About Explosive Hips.
The scouting of football players has given rise to a new language. It's barely intelligible.
Let's See Those Mocks
Here are the key predictions of some of the more prominent selectors, as of Tuesday. Barring trades, the top teams right now are the Browns, Giants, Jets, Browns again, and Broncos
Mel Kiper and Todd McShay, ESPN

2. Giants: Saquon Barkley, RB, Penn St.
3. Jets: Darnold

28 (Steelers). Jackson
Walter Cherepinsky, Walter Football:
5. Quenton Nelson, G, Notre Dame
23 (Patriots). Rosen
What About the Other Quarterbacks?
Two others are getting a lot of predraft buzz. "Baker Mayfield is moving up," said Esch of the Oklahoma player. There are mock drafters who feel he has climbed all the way into the top 5.
Rosen of U.C.L.A. is the other top quarterback. Once considered a sure top-5 pick, he has drifted downward a bit according to many mock drafts. "He is the most natural thrower in the draft," said Mayock, "but he reminds me of Sam Bradford," a reference to his supposed lack of durability.
Cherepinsky has him going all the way down at No. 23, while others still have him as a top-5 pick.
Who's Tricky to Pick?
You would think that a Heisman Trophy winner would be easy to evaluate. But the Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson is tough to slot in.
"He's the most intriguing and hardest to place," Mayock said. "His upside is so high, I wonder if someone is going to try to get him in the first 10 or 12, 13, 14 picks. If he starts sliding into the 20s, you've got all these really good football teams with what I call a secondary quarterback need."
"That would be the best place for him to go."
Most drafters have him going somewhere between No. 12 and the end of the first round. The BetDSI sportsbook has the over/under for his draft slot at 17.5.
Who Is the Top Running Back?
For a while there, running backs were a cold commodity in the draft, and there were those who faulted the Cowboys for taking one at No. 4 in 2016. That player was Ezekiel Elliott. "When they took Elliott high, then went 13-3, people saw it," Esch said. That has led to a renaissance for the stock of running backs.
This year's best is clearly Saquon Barkley of Penn State, and he may go as high as No. 2 to the Giants.
He reminds Cherepinsky of Leonard Fournette, who went to the Jaguars at No. 4 last year: "Barkley is more than just a running back. It's what he does in the passing game."
Who Else Could Go High?
"There are three elite non-quarterbacks in the draft" said Cherepinsky. He was referring to Barkley, Bradley Chubb, a N.C. State defensive end, and Quenton Nelson, a Notre Dame guard. Chubb in particular has mock drafters excited. "Easily the best front-seven disrupter in a weak class of them," said Peter King of Sports Illustrated. That makes him a top-5 guy for sure. King has him going to the Browns at No. 4.
That's a puzzling spot in the draft. "The biggest question is what the Browns are going to do at No. 4 if Barkley is not on the board," Cherepinsky said. "They could pick Chubb, but that's a lot of 100 million dollar contracts in a few years. Barkley would be ideal because running backs don't make as much."
Head-scratching over the Browns is a draft day tradition. "I think it's going to be a crazy draft," Jeremiah said. "Having a team like Cleveland with two picks in the top four makes it fun."

This project is set to be completed around the year 2023. While we await for the year to come, the management of Metropark has planned for a couple more activities. So, in between the project completion and now, you could enjoy some other great events and activities by Metropark.
I was invited for their recent event last Sunday, the Metropark Bazaar. It was one of the Bazaars that Metropark will be organizing on the coming months. The idea is to keep up the interaction with the precious customers and at the same time, entertain you and your family with some of local musicians and artists, along with rows of mouth-watering desserts and treats.
These are some of the spotlights that we had during the afternoon there.
It doesn't matter which event you attend, chocolate cake is a must. And this little choco fudge, melts you taste bud away.
You can't just have local treats, can you? Shawarma is a must for middle-eastern delights.
Taiwanese hot-dogs? My personal suggestion, try out the garlic hot-dog.
Another good choice for carbs-lover. Lol.
Let us spend some times looking into these health products. Natural Living.
Would you like some mini pines, sir?
It basically says that you should give it a try. And ow, it's a home-made Tou Fu Fa.
Some hijabs or scarfs, perhaps?
Soft-tasty cakes with assorted flavors, and all of them were below RM10.
They even had PAWS. Ow, can I keep it?
There you go, that was what basically happening in the Bazaar. I admit my bad, though, for not taking any good photos of the musicians. They were awesome, by the way. And the afternoon was filled with their lovely singing, drumming and 'guitaring'.
So yeah. That's all from me for this post. Happy reading y'all.

Close World Open Thought
February 6 - March 6 — Dallas, TX
February 6, 2021 @ 12:00 pm - March 6, 2021 @ 5:00 pm
Ro2 Art Gallery
1501 S Ervay St
Dallas, TX 75215 United States
https://www.texasmonthly.com/event/close-world-open-thought/?utm_source=texasmonthly.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=sharebutton
This event has passed
Dallas, January 2021 – Ro2 Art is proud to
present Close World Open Thought, a solo
exhibition featuring new works by artist Kai
Peter Martin. The show will run from February
6th through March 6th, 2021. The exhibition
will open with an artist reception at Ro2 Art
The Cedars located at 1501 S Ervay St,
Dallas, TX and will take place from 12-5 PM.
Kai Peter Martin's work focuses on depictions
of interiors, while ruminating on concepts of containment, place, and representations of
psychological space. Martin's landscapes are built using multiple perspectives on the same
picture plane; this is both a way to delineate a physically impossible space and as a metaphor
for the complexity of lived experiences.
In Martin's most recent works, the artist infuses the surface directly with pigment. There is no
canvas for paint to be brushed on; here both are combined through plaster, one of art history's
most ancient mediums. This dense texture allows the artist to add another layer of mark making
by etching into the work. Carving into domestic scenes in this way, Martin permeates them with
a mysterious narrative.

Don't Make the Mistake of Buying a Used Nissan Pathfinder
by Sarah Brennan twitter linkedin on December 2, 2020
The Nissan Pathfinder is a three-row SUV that has become fairly popular over the years. It's reportedly comfortable enough to drive, offers plenty of interior space, and fares pretty well in crashworthiness tests. But for used SUV shoppers, does that make it a good option? Not necessarily. While the Nissan Pathfinder may seem like a good pick initially, this SUV is somewhat problematic.

The Nissan Pathfinder struggles when it comes to reliability ratings
If you're going to be buying a used SUV, you probably want it to be reliable, which makes a whole lot of sense, really. But can you expect a used Nissan Pathfinder to be reliable? Maybe. Maybe not. Unfortunately, this SUV has struggled quite a lot when it comes to reliability ratings.
According to Consumer Reports, you shouldn't expect a used Nissan Pathfinder to be all that reliable. Several model years earned pretty subpar reliability ratings. Take, for instance, the 2017 model, which earned itself a one out of five overall reliability rating. Consumer Reports attributed the low rating to problems with the SUV's engine, body, hardware, and in-car electronics.

There are plenty of better used SUVs out there
Reliability isn't the only thing that the Nissan Pathfinder struggles with either. U.S. News & World Report says that when it comes to the 2019 Nissan Pathfinder specifically, there are a few areas where the SUV trails pretty far behind its competitors. According to U.S. News & World Report, "Its ride is a bit firm, and its second- and third-row seats aren't all that spacious or comfortable. It doesn't have as much cargo space as some midsize SUVs, and its interior materials quality is merely so-so."
Fortunately, there are other options out there. If you're after a used SUV that's powered by a V6 engine and offers an upscale interior, consider a used Toyota Highlander. Unlike the Pathfinder, the Toyota Highlander boasts some pretty promising reliability ratings, according to Consumer Reports.
Autobytel also recommends considering the Kia Telluride. While the Telluride is a newer model, it's been scooping up awards left and right. According to Consumer Reports, it's also earned itself pretty high-reliability ratings.
RELATED: The 2020 Nissan Pathfinder Is a Disappointing Family Vehicle
But if you are going to buy a used Nissan Pathfinder, consider a certified pre-owned one
And if you still have your heart set on buying a used Nissan Pathfinder? Then, at the very least, we recommend considering a certified pre-owned model. Nissan's certified pre-owned program includes vehicles six years old or less and also includes vehicles with fewer than 80,000 miles on the odometer. Nissan requires that all of its certified pre-owned vehicles pass a rigorous 167-point inspection too. And to further sweeten the deal? All certified pre-owned models come with benefits like rental car reimbursement, a three-month subscription to SiriusXM satellite radio, a Security+Plus Extended protection plan, and 24-hour roadside assistance.
Will buying a used Nissan Pathfinder really be a mistake?
In the end, whether or not you buy a used Pathfinder is up to you. This SUV has definitely struggled when it comes to reliability ratings. There are plenty of better options to pick from too. But, the Nissan Pathfinder is pretty spacious, making it a decent enough pick for families. It's also earned itself a Top Safety Pick rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) multiple times. So, the Nissan Pathfinder does have some things going for it.

China's "Hegemonic Ambitions" Not Compatible With BRICS' Intent
Host photo agency
https://sputniknews.com/asia/201708301056922597-china-brics-hegemony-ambitions/
A former Indian diplomat is of the view that with China's growing hegemonic ambitions and seeking of parity with the US are no longer compatible with BRICS' main aim to curb America's post-Cold War unilateralism, which was conceptualized during the Russia-India-China dialogue and led to the formation of the economic grouping.
New Delhi (Sputnik) — Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping for bilateral talks on September 4 on the sidelines of the BRICS Summit being hosted by China from 3-5 September 2017.
"At the invitation of the President of the People's Republic of China, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi will visit Xiamen in China's Fujian province… to attend the 9th BRICS Summit," India's Ministry of External Affairs said in a statement. "Subsequently, Prime Minister will pay a State visit to Myanmar from 5-7 September at the invitation of U. Htin Kyaw, President of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar," it added.
China Hopes India to Prevent Future Border Standoffs Like Doklam
In June this year, the Indian Prime Minister had turned down Beijing's request to participate in its multi-billion dollar Belt & Road Initiative. In the immediate aftermath, the Doklam standoff ensued, casting a shadow over Modi's participation in the BRICS summit.
Although Modi and Xi met informally at the G20 Summit in Hamburg, Germany and before that in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Summit in Astana, Kazakhstan, it will be the first time the two leaders will officially hold talks concerning current circumstances. Therefore, the outcome of their bilateral meeting will be keenly followed.
India's former foreign secretary Kanwal Sibal (July 2002 to November 2003) and a career diplomat is not very optimistic about the outcome of the meeting as he is of the view that "China has seared the bilateral relationship." Sibal also thinks that China's actions are now no longer compatible with BRICS' vision of more transparent global governance, multi-polarity, diminished western hegemony, greater south-south cooperation and other aims.
"China's conduct is increasingly violating this vision. China's own hegemonic ambitions in Asia are increasingly evident, even as the BRICS forum opposes western hegemony. China no longer talks of multi-polarity because it now seeks equality with the US and a possible G-2 arrangement," Sibal wrote in an op-ed article in the Economic Times.

India, China Mutually Withdrawing From Doklam - India's Foreign Ministry
On terrorism, Sibal questions China's double standards by repeatedly preventing Pakistan-based extremist Masood Azhar's designation as an international terrorist. Particularly from an Indian point of view, Beijing's opposition to India's entry into the Nuclear Suppliers Group, and bid for permanent membership in the United Nations Security Council contradicts BRICS vision of more inclusive international governance. Whereas, Moscow has supported India on both issues and has been actively lobbying for it.
Another Indian expert is of the view that though Sino-Indian rivalry dilutes the very intent of BRICS, the Doklam standoff was not as big to completely overshadow the upcoming summit.
"The salience of BRICS has nothing to do with the Doklam standoff, which was not a standalone irritant in India-China ties. In fact, it has only reinforced India's suspicion of China. But, Doklam didn't happen in a vacuum. From last few years, the wedge between the two countries has grown over many issues such as the entry into the Nuclear Suppliers Group, ban on Jaish chief Masood Azhar and others. On BRICS, I have always maintained that it is an artificial construct. It made economic sense at one point in time, but with three out of five of its economies performing below par, it has lost even that traction. Geostrategically it never made sense, especially with the Sino-Indian rivalry. In India's case, the Sino-Russian entente has added a new variable in the way we look at the forum. India has always looked to Russia for siding with itself against China. With China now setting the agenda within the forum, Indian policymakers will watch developments within BRICS closely, although I still think India wouldn't end its ties with it," Dr. Harsh V. Pant, Distinguished Fellow and Head of Observer Research Foundation's Strategic Studies program told Sputnik.

I takes a big leap of faith to know I will be ok.
I just gave a lawyer a HUGE retainer. At least to me it was huge. And, it won't go all that far. I couldn't not do it, though.
So, hopefully "-" will be reasonable.
No other big expense will come along for a while.
If it does, I'll handle it.
I will be "me" again.
I will have faith in me.
I do have faith in me.
