These chipmunks usually breed once per year.
Breeding occurs in early April when these chipmunks awake from hibernation.
Parental care in least chipmunks is extensive. Young are altricial, and are not even fully furred until they reach about 40 days of age.
Females chose nursery nests while they are pregnant. These nests are located in stumps, under logs, in brush piles, or rock piles. They are generally connected to chambers filled with cached food supplies. A female positions her nursery nest so that it is protected from rainfall and runoff, to ensure the comfort and health of her offspring when they arrive. Nests are often lines with grass.
Mothers take care of their young until they are weaned, sometime after 60 days of age. They provide food, shelter, grooming, and other care for the pups.
Least chipmunks are adept climbers. Some individuals construct nests high above the ground. Chipmunks climb trees in order to warm themselves in the sun during periods of cool weather (Hamilton and Whitaker, 1979).
Least chipmunks are most active between April and October. Nests are built seasonally, with summer homes being constructed from leaves and bark in rotting logs and tree cavities. Winter nests are located in underground burrows that consist of dried grass, bark, fur, feathers and soft vegetation (Kurta, 1995). With the onset of cold weather, chipmunks retire to these burrows, where they enter torpor and live off stored food until spring (Kurta, 1995). Hibernation in these animals is not as deep as it is in ground squirrels, and they awake frequently to snack on stored food during the winter months (Bergstom, 1999). Least chipmunks are territorial and will defend their nests from invaders.
Like other diurnal sciurids, vision is an important part of commmunication. Visual signals, such as body posture, convey important information to conspecifics.
In addition to visual communication, these animals use a variety of auditory signals to communicate. They use calls to advertize their ownership of a territory, to find mates, and when they feel threatened.
Tactile communication is important between mothers and their offspring, as well as between mates and rivals.
Least chipmunks are predators of pest insects and may play a role in seed or pollen dispersal.
The primary threat to least chipmunks is habitat loss caused by the encroachment of humans. Hunting or trapping may also pose a small threat. Currently least chipmunk populations are steady.

Since the age of 20, Al has been part of the radio industry working at stations 4VL, 4CD, 4RO, 2ST, 2LT, 3BO, 4ZR, 4VL (again) 4KZ, KOOL FM, 4AY, KIK FM & 4AM. Al’s former roles have included announcer, salesman, sales promotion manager, sales manager and part owner.
He is a member of the CRA Quarter Century Club, Institute of Company Directors, Wireless Institute Australia, Innisfail Baptist Family Centre and is a licenced Amateur Radio Operator with the call sign of VK4FFKZ.
His interests include bushwalking, cooking, music and 4 wheel driving.
Greg is an Innisfail local and joined the announcing staff of 4KZ straight out of high school at the age of 17 in 1968 and came back to 4KZ in 1988.
Greg writes, edits and records Rural Reports and Northern News and presents a 2 hour magazine style lunchtime programme. He's probably best known for his Sunday Gold programme each weekend.
Greg is now a proud grandfather and enjoys his trips to Townsville to catch up with his grandson.
Glenn was born in a cross fire hurricane. He was vaccinated with a phonograph needle and was pre-ordained to be in radio having made his mother take him to the studios of the local radio station having displayed serial competition winner tendencies.
Cracking his first gig at 5RM in the Riverland in South Australia late last century, he has travelled far and wide gaining experience across the width and breadth of this sunburnt country in regional and capital city markets. Suffice to say he has worked every state except WA over the past 32 years.
Before joining the reprobates in FNQ, he helped set up an English radio station on the Thai island of Phuket with a multi-national cast and completed a 9-month contract at 7XS in Queenstown on the west coast of Tasmania – he is still thawing out.
Married with a beautiful daughter it was lifestyle and weather that saw him return to the state that he had previously lived in on three separate occasions in the 80’s and 90’s.
Hobbies and interests include anything conducted at over 300kmh – as a former race team owner he believes motorsport is dangerous and should be kept that way.
Mick has worked casually in radio for 30 years at a number of stations including 4LM, 4GC and 4KZ whilst also working for Telstra.
He joined the 4AM team taking over the Breaky Show full time in July 2014. Mick enjoys living in tropical North Queensland after growing up in Innisfail and staying in areas like Thursday Island, Normanton, Mount Isa, Cairns and Mossman.
In his spare time, Mick likes to go camping, do a bit of fishing and he enjoys the great outdoors.

This editorial is part of the WCPO.com project, Heroin: How Do We Respond?
In 2014, President Barack Obama asked Congress for emergency funding of $6.2 billion to fight Ebola. Congress wasted little time in approving nearly all of his request.
President Donald Trump officially declared the heroin crisis a public health emergency last week. The official recognition, although long overdue, was welcome. But unfortunately, he made no request to Congress for emergency funding.
If addiction was Ebola, maybe it would get the attention it needs.
Only one person died from Ebola in the U.S.
Drug overdoses killed more than 64,000 people in 2016 alone.
What is the real emergency? And more importantly, where is the money that’s needed to stop the dying?
That’s what we heard from members of WCPO’s Heroin Advisory Group who reacted to Trump’s announcement this week.
"I was glad to hear this announcement but will there be any funding tied to it?"
The answer is no, at least not right away.
The declaration came with no immediate request for emergency funding.
Among our advisory group, there was, at best, some hope that the announcement would raise public awareness of the problem and help end the stigmatization that’s often blamed for the less-than-vigorous response. But mostly, there was disappointment.
"Calling the opioid epidemic a public health emergency might remove some of the stigma … I want the federal government to join the battle, allocate funds, and save lives. Instead we get a nudge. This epidemic is like a huge ship that we need to get turned around. I’ll take every nudge we can get."
-- Dorothy McIntosh Shuemake, mother of Alison, who died of an overdose Aug. 26, 2015 at the age of 18.
“This is just a bait and switch: pretending there's concern over this major loss of life without a single penny committed to it … this is all smoke and mirrors, and sadly not a real fix for anything to do with the opioid crisis."
So did Tom Synan, advisory group member, a police chief and chair of the Hamilton County Heroin Coalition, who spoke this week at a national opiate forum.
Tonya Revilla lost her son Jeremy to an overdose on July 1, 2016. He was 23. Like the many others who suffer the loss of a child, she’s frustrated by the lack of action.
"I’ve heard a lot of talk from Trump and other officials, but not much action. We need action! We need funding! If we do these things NOW it will save our tax dollars down the road. There has been plenty of time to work on solutions, why aren't people acting? I think that unless you or your family have been touched by this, it doesn't exist! We need everyone on board!"
Dr. Feinberg pointed out that while Trump declared an emergency he is also pushing for the repeal of the Affordable Care Act. The ACA opened up the possibility of addiction treatment for millions. In Ohio alone, 275,000 people became newly eligible for treatment, and two-thirds of those suffered from some sort of substance abuse problem, according to Ohio’s Medicaid director.
It’s a sad fact that years into this epidemic, the response has not nearly matched the scale of the problem. Dr. Mike Kalfas, advisory group member and physician who treats many recovering addicts, welcomed the declaration as a first step.
“It's been a long time coming, and by long I mean more than just the last nine months. It's more like several years coming. This is a great first step but it shouldn't be our last step."
“Without money, you don't have treatment capacity, you can't hire the people to help that you need to, you can't get facilities, you can't get beds when those are needed."
So the emergency declaration is just a start. What needs to happen next is a sustained commitment that includes stepped-up funding.
“We shouldn't just say okay it's one and done. We just declared war on something and it's going to be a long war."

CC Sabathia got the start in tonight’s game and zoned into a strong momentum to keep the visiting Nationals scoreless. He threw 101 pitches into the 6th inning, gave up 4 hits and 3 walks, and struck out 3 batters. Also, he hit an amazing milestone in the 4th inning — his 1,500th strikeout with the Yankees. They stopped the game for a moment to allow the 44,000 fans at the stadium to give him a nice audience.
Sabathia has 2,893 in his career, making him 17th in the overall list of pitchers and the leader among active pitchers. And it’s worth noting that all but 2 listed above Sabathia on that list are in the Hall of Fame.
With 2 outs and a runner on 1st with a single, Sabathia handed the ball to Chad Green. While he was dealing with the next batter, the runner took off for 2nd, and Romine fired the ball to a waiting Torres at 2nd to make the tag. Originally ruled safe, the Yankees challenged the call and after review, the play was overturned. Then Green’s 7th inning followed Sabathia’s clean sheet, before Betances and Chapman’s 8th and 9th innings just got cleaner and cleaner.
While the Yankees’ pitching was strong, the Yankees’ batting needed to step it up and take advantage of the opportunities they could. In the 2nd, Didi Gregorius hit a solid 1-out solo home run to get things started fairly early. Aaron Hicks then worked a walk, and Walker’s single and a bad throw moved both runners into scoring position. Hicks then scored on Austin Romine’s sacrifice fly. Didi Gregorius later led-off the 6th with another solo home run to cap off the Yankees’ scoring.
Today, MLB released the first results of fan voting for the AL nominees of All-Star Game, and there were a lot of Yankeesa lot of Yankees that could make the roster this year if fans continue to pull through. Gary Sanchez leads all Catchers by about 13,000 votes; Gleyber Torres is a distant 2nd at 2nd; Miguel Andujar is a distant 2nd at 3rd; Didi Gregorius is 3rd in a tight field at Shortstop; and Giancarlo Stanton is a distant 2nd at Designated Hitter. Plus, all Yankee Outfielders are found in the top 15 — Aaron Judge is 3rd, Brett Gardner is 7th, and Aaron Hicks is 11th.
Based on current patterns and numbers, Sanchez and Judge are almost locks for the starting roster, so Yankee fans, do your stuff and vote!
Yesterday, during the Yankees off-day, the Yankees sent 3 of their biggest stars to the TODAY Show to preview HOPE Week and meet with the fans that pack Rockefeller Center every morning. Brett Gardner (a HOPE Week veteran since Day 1), Aaron Judge (in his 2nd HOPE Week), and Giancarlo Stanton (a HOPE Week rookie) went on the show to promote HOPE Week and talk about “bringing light to some special situations and meeting some really cool people”.
HOPE Week, Day 1: Monday, the Yankees visited Cindy and Louis Campbell who founded the “Muddy Puddles Project“, hosting the annual Mess Fest at Mohawk Day Camp (about an hour north of the City). The Campbell’s lost their 5 year old son Ty to brain cancer 6 years ago and his greatest wish before he died was just to jump in the mud puddles. So in his honor, they founded this messy, fun opportunity for children with cancer and their families to enjoy a day, raise money for pediatric cancer research (over $800,000 in five years).
HOPE Week Day 2: Today, the Yankees invited a special girl named Cassidy Warner to hang out with them. Many of you may remember Cassidy as the young girl who posted a video earlier this year about being bullied in her school and then asking people to just be nice to each other. The Yankees responded to her video with one of their own, inviting her to come and have lunch with them some time. That came true today.
Cassidy joined Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, AJ Cole, Neil Walker, a handful of coaches, and a group of local 6th graders from a national anti-bullying organization called “No Bully” to play kick ball at the field across from Yankee Stadium (where the old stadium used to stand). Cassidy then joined the Yankees for lunch at the Stadium and later joined Cindy Campbell to jointly throw out the 1st pitch before the game.
And that, I think, is the ultimate message of HOPE Week — that kindness matters. And that being kind is a lifestyle choice, something we all can choose every day. Kindness impacts our own little corner of the world and ultimately lands like ripples on the pond to affect further than we can possibly imagine.

Sharing the road with thousands of other cars and trucks without being properly prepared can lead to being stranded on the side of the road or worse. Start preparing for your trip a few days before your departure and plan ahead.
Have your car checked out by your mechanic. Make sure that your heating and cooling system are working and that your hoses and radiator are not worn or leaking.
If you do not have GPS, sit down with an atlas and plan your route. Make note of any route changes and exit numbers. Write out your directions so you can be prepared for any changes or exits and can be in the proper lane.
Leave with extra time figured into your trip timing. This way you are not rushed and will hopefully avoid speeding. Do not speed, especially in construction zones.
If you do not feel well, postpone your trip until you feel better.
Don’t push your limits. If you get tired/fatigued, stop and take a break, walk around your vehicle, do a few minor exercises. If you are too tired, take a nap, or get a motel.
If you are around large trucks, remember, if you cannot see the driver in his/her mirrors, he/she cannot see you.
If you are going to pass, do so quickly and never hang next to the truck’s tires in case one blows out.
Watch what is going on ahead of you as far as you can see, this way you can avoid having to take evasive maneuvers or slam on your brakes.
Leave plenty of room between you and any other vehicle.
Limit your distractions. Do not watch movies or read anything other than glancing at your directions while driving.
Limit your cell phone use and use a head set.
Never cut off anyone but especially large trucks. It can take a fully loaded semi a foot ball field length to come to a stop.
Never stop in the traffic area of a highway or interstate.
Make sure to keep your gas/fuel tanks full. Gauges sometimes do not register correctly.
Sharing the road with other drivers and should be fun. Follow the rules and tips above and you will be able to talk pleasantly about your trip for years to come.

Multiple bills at the New Jersey statehouse are of interest to truckers and others using roadways throughout the state.
Repeat drunk driving offenders could soon face harsher penalties for their actions.
New Jersey law now limits punishment for affected offenders to a traffic offense. Bail typically is set at $2,500.
The traffic offense designation allows drivers charged with drunken driving to continue to drive while awaiting their court date.
Awaiting consideration on the Assembly floor is a bill to end that practice. Instead, A3057 would boost punishment for a person convicted of driving under the influence two times or more within 60 days to a fourth-degree crime. Specifically, offenders would face up to 18 months in prison and/or up to $10,000 fines.
License suspensions would also result for repeat offenders. In addition, judges could impose bail of up to $10,000.
The bill follows a case in Vineland, NJ, where a man was arrested for drunken driving five times in five weeks while awaiting a court date for his initial infraction.
Assemblyman John Burzichelli, D-Gloucester/Salem/Cumberland, said the rule change would help address a problem that is unacceptable.
“Everyone can make a mistake, but when it’s done repeatedly, especially in a relatively close time frame, it’s clear that the person has a problem and should be dealt with quickly both for their own sake and the safety of others,” Burzichelli said in a previous statement.
If approved on the Assembly floor, A3057 would move to the Senate for further consideration.
Assembly lawmakers already approved another bill that would benefit New Jersey truckers and motorists with diabetes. Specifically, A945 would allow affected drivers to voluntarily note the condition on their driver’s license.
The “Insulin Dependent Diabetic” notation is intended to aid emergency personnel in providing proper care if the person is unable to communicate.
The bill is in the Senate Transportation Committee.

In collaboration with the National School Lunch Program, Comcast is attempting to facilitate understanding about the importance of the internet by offering it at a deeply discounted rate to families in low-income situations throughout the U.S, starting with Chicago. This is, simply put, a brilliant move not only to help the economically disenfranchised, but also to bolster a floundering economy that is trying to transition from an industrial marketplace to an information and service-based market place.
Called “Internet Essentials”, the program will offer Comcast’s Xfinity Economy internet service with download speeds of 1.5 Mbps for $9.95 per month and includes a promise of no price increase and fees, along with a voucher that entitles eligible families to purchase a computer for less than $150.
The Internet Essentials idea was formed after the discovery that there are 3 major barriers to widespread broadband adoption: the cost of monthly internet service, a lack of understanding about how to use the internet and the cost of a computer.
There also appears to be a perception among some that the internet is not essential to everyday life. But national research has shown that up to 3,000 new jobs can be created with just a one percent increase in the adoption of broadband internet. However, just 45% of families with annual household incomes of less than $30,000 have internet at home.
Besides the obvious advantages to these students in educational arenas now, and the national and global marketplace later, there are several reasons why widespread adoption of broadband is an important concept. For starters, there is a definite transition our society is making toward an internet-centered playing field. We communicate, socialize, gather and disseminate news, and make all kinds of decisions based upon information we exchange on the internet.
The web is becoming a strategic tool for colleges to reach out to students who otherwise wouldn’t be able to attend their school. We exchange money and goods, invest funds, and pay bills over the internet. We utilize cloud service personally and professionally to store vast amounts of data and images.
Marketing will never be the same now that the worldwide web is a major force for companies to reach out to potential customers. As mentioned previously we are transitioning from a manufacturing society to an economy that exchanges innovations, services and information. Make no mistake about it – the transition will continue as developing countries get better at filling the worldwide demand for manufactured goods, and at a much cheaper rate than the United States is able to.
In short, the internet is the greatest technological advancement of our time, and if our society is to succeed in its impending transition, we must equip all of our citizens to be able to exchange information digitally. And it begins by equipping our children to be able to navigate the internet and learn how to benefit from the vast opportunities available. This particular move made by Comcast, and surely to follow by other internet providers, is a reminder to all of us that becoming technically savvy is an important move both individually and corporately.
“Having access to high-speed Internet service allows children to do schoolwork, adults to find jobs and grow the city’s economy, and families to learn and explore together,” said Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel. The mayor went on to elaborate on how the Internet Essentials program is a great way for city government and the business community to provide needed solutions to the problems facing the economically disenfranchised.
In addition to discounted internet access and computer voucher, eligible families will also receive computer protection via Norton’s Security Suite and 90 minutes of digital literacy training to assist them with getting the most out of the internet for schoolwork and employment search purposes.
Families who qualify must call 1-855-8-INTERNET in order to request an application to be mailed to them. In addition to a completed application, families must also attach lunch program documents from their child’s school. They will then be notified by mail regarding their application’s status in seven to ten days.
Comcast is also putting out the call to educators, community organizations and others who want to help to bring the internet to low-income families. When these individuals complete a free registration with Comcast’s Partner Portal, they can access a free suite of tools and resources to help introduce the program to their communities.
Find out of Comcast is one of the high speed internet providers in your area. Broadband companies have affordable options to get everyone connected to high speed internet.

Hair is made up of a protein called Keratin that is produced in hair follicles in the outer layer of the skin. As follicles produce new hair cells, old cells are being pushed out through the surface of the skin. A condition when a person experiences undue loss of hair (exceeds 100-150 strands of hair loss in a day) is Hair Fall Disorder or Disease. The medical term for hair fall or loss of hair is alopecia. Though hair loss is visible in men, women suffer from alopecia too. The symptoms of Hair Fall are thinning of hair at the top, patches of bald spots on the scalp or any other part, a receding hairline, hair loosening indicating overall thinning, loss of hair on full body.
The main causes of hair loss or alopecia are conditions like family history, hair gradually thins with age, androgenic alopecia which is male pattern baldness that might begin in early teens or early 20s, inadequate diet, ageing and complex hair beautification treatments like straightening, perming that can cause more harm due to certain chemicals. There can be other conditions depending on the person’s lifestyle and choices. Medical conditions such as thyroid disease, hormonal problems, iron deficiency anaemia also result in hair loss. Stress, diabetes, pregnancy and child birth, cancer therapy like Chemotherapy are some other causes of hair fall that lead to hair loss in men and women. Hair fall is due to varying TSH / Thyroid level which is governed by the thyroid gland.
Mainstream treatment of Hair Fall include over-the-counter drugs, prescription drugs, hair transplant and so on. The root cause of Hair Fall disease is deep rooted, at the level of energy or the specific Chakra in your body, specifically the Throat (Vishuddha). Therefore understanding the root cause of Hair Fall Disease and adding a natural healing solution will help in the treatment without interfering the current treatment. Hair Fall Disease actually comes from an Imbalanced Throat (Vishuddha) Chakra due to an emotional state, psychological reactions and certain life experiences. An energy imbalance in Throat (Vishuddha) Chakra is the cause of not just Hair Fall Disease but several other diseases. Thus it is very essential to add a natural therapy – an alternative healing therapy. There are several therapies under Alternative Healing, among the many therapies, Rudraksha Ratna Science Therapy (RRST) is a unique therapy that cleans the aura, gives good amount of relief from the suffering and helps in balancing the energy of an Imbalanced Throat (Vishuddha) Chakra.
An imbalanced Throat (Vishuddha) Chakra indicates fears, limiting beliefs, low self-confidence, frustration and helplessness that a person subjects him or herself to, when he or she fails to find solutions to problems and this condition triggers Hair Fall disorder.
To balance the Throat (Vishuddha) Chakra and reduce Hair Fall and relief from any other disease, Rudraksha Ratna Science Therapy (RRST) pioneered by Neeta Singhal is an alternative healing therapy - a natural and unique therapy to balance the 7 Chakras (subtle energy centres) in the body. RRST is an outcome of the deep study of Puranas, Upanishads on the miraculous properties different Rudraksha beads have, and real-time testing of Rudraksha with Ratna (Gemstones) on the body has proven to clean the aura, heal and balance the Chakras. RRST prescribes specific Rudraksha and Gemstone combinations upon deriving the state of your Aura Energy and Chakra analysis.
Blessings of Mahadev will shower one day for sure Your big troubles will look tiny for sure One will feel to take rebirth as human and will not pray for moksha........ why? Answer is so that he or she can again wear Rudraksha after his or her rebirth!!!! How can one realise that he has fallen in love with Rudraksha? *Whenever he travels on road he tries to find Rudraksha tree on both sides of the road even though he knows very well that tree does not exists there! *When he sees some person approaches to him he tries find Rudraksha on him before seeing his face first!Does this happens with you?

Even in death, the late Chief Moshood Abiola remains as controversial as ever.
Fourteen years after his death in detention, Abiola was honoured yesterday.
President Goodluck Jonathan renamed the University of Lagos (UNILAG) after the late winner of the June 12, 1993 election. The election – Nigeria's freest and fairest ever - was annulled by the Gen. Ibrahim Babangida regime for no reasonable reason. Abiola died on July 8, 1998 in a desperate battle to reclaim his mandate. His wife Kudirat was gunned down on June 4, 1996 on a Lagos street.
The announcement, which stirred a huge debate and protest, is the highlight of the May 29 national broadcast by the President to mark the 13th anniversary of the return to democracy.
The President also announced ban on continental dishes at a state functions, promised to build a national museum to document previous leaders in addition to announcing the government's plan to earn N214 billion from first cassava chips export.
Jonathan said: “I pay special tributes also to all patriots who are the pillars of our collective journey, most especially, our armed forces who have steadfastly subordinated themselves to civil authority in the past 13 years. They have continued to demonstrate a great sense of professionalism. They have discharged their duties to the nation with honour and valour. In a sub-region that has witnessed instances of political instability, authored by restless soldiers, the Nigerian Armed Forces have remained professional in their support of democracy.
“ When General Abdusalami Abubakar handed over the baton of authority to President Olusegun Obasanjo, in 1999, it was a turning point for Nigeria. We did not arrive at that turning point by accident. Many Nigerians laid down their lives for the transition to democracy to occur. Some were jailed. Media houses were attacked and shut down. But the people's resolve was firm and unshakeable. This is what we remember. This is what we celebrate. On this day, I recall especially the martyrdom of Chief M. K. O. Abiola, whose presumed victory in the 1993 Presidential election, and death, while in custody, proved to be the catalyst for the people's pro-democracy uprising. The greatest tribute that we can pay to him, and other departed heroes of Nigeria's democracy, is to ensure that we continue to sustain and consolidate our democratic institutions and processes, and keep hope alive.
He also took solace in the fact that democracy is stable, stressing that “its foundation is strong and firm. Its future is bright. Last year, I had spoken about the policy of 'one man one vote, one woman, one vote, one youth, one vote'. I am glad to see that the Nigerian people in all elections have continued to respect the principle of fair play. Since this administration came into office, we have gone to great lengths to strengthen our democratic institutions, particularly the Independent National Electoral Commission. There are still persons who believe that elections should be violent and unhealthy, but they are in the minority. They will not derail our democracy because the majority of Nigerians will not allow them to do so.
“Following the spate of violence in some parts of the country after the 2011 elections, our administration set up a committee on post-election violence to, among other things, investigate the causes and nature of electoral violence and make appropriate recommendations. We will be guided by the White Paper on that committee's report, in dealing more firmly with electoral violence and fraud. This will include the establishment of Electoral Offences Tribunals to deal speedily with established cases of electoral violence. We cannot afford to treat the success we have recorded with our democratic experience with levity. Electoral reform is central to our administration's transformation agenda. I urge all political parties to embrace this reform.
He has also directed that a Presidential Museum be built in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory. The museum, Dr. Jonathan said, will document the lives and times of presidents and heads of government since 1960, to remind us of the high points of our national history.
President has also banned the serving of non-Nigerian dishes at all national functions henceforth to encourage the consumption of Nigeria's staple food.
He announced that the government had secured markets for cassava outside Nigeria and, for the first time ever, Nigeria will export this year one million metric tons of dried cassava chips to China. “This will earn Nigeria 136 million US dollars (about N214 billion) in foreign exchange.
He said the government has revived and is now accelerating the completion of the National Integrated Power Projects. It is also building about 4000km of transmission lines and hundreds of substations and has completed the design for the construction of both Mambilla and Zungeru Hydro power plants which will add about 3, 000 MW to the national grid.
The economy, the president said, is doing well, and the economic outlook is positive.
His words: “Today, progress has been made. The country's credit rating is positive, in contrast with many nations being downgraded. In 2011, our economy grew by 7.45%. As at mid-May 2012, our foreign exchange reserves had risen to $37.02 billion, the highest level in 21 months. We have stabilised and improved our fiscal regime. We brought the fiscal deficit down to 2. 85 per cent of GDP from 2.9 per cent in 2011. We reduced recurrent expenditures from 74 per cent to 71 per cent and reduced domestic borrowing from N852 billion in 2011 to N744 billion in 2012. We cut out over N100 billion of non-essential expenditure and increased our internally generated revenue from N200 billion to N467 billion.
On foreign affairs, Dr. Jonathan said: “Our successful elections, last year, opened new vistas for Nigeria's foreign policy. More than ever before, Nigeria's achievements have generated a lot of international goodwill and recognition. We have continued to build on this by further showing leadership in the sub-region and the African continent. Under my watch as Chairman of the sub-regional body, ECOWAS, and subsequently, Nigeria was in the forefront of the efforts to ensure democratic stability in Niger, Mali, Guinea Bissau, and particularly at a critical moment in Cote d'Ivoire. Our foreign policy process has proven to be dynamic and pro-active. Nigeria's place is secure among many friends in the comity of nations. We are building on that friendship to open up opportunities for foreign investments in the Nigerian economy and to provide necessary support for the vibrant community of Nigerians in the Diaspora.
“ We will continue to work hard, to turn domestic successes into a source of motivation for greater achievements in the international arena. We are fully aware that it is only when our people are happy and confident that they would be in a good position to walk tall in relating with others.

Current methods are based either on cultivation or on PCR and have significant limitations concerning the clinical requirements to characterise pathogens including their resistance mechanisms within 3 hours. In MARA, we will develop and combine three radically novel technologies that will lead to substantial breakthroughs in science, medicine and industry and, as proof-of principle, use them to create a DNA-based molecular toolkit characterising pathogens. First, the detection of pathogen-associated antigens will be performed by Autonomous Detection Nucleic Acids (AUDENA) that are independent of any laboratory instruments and sophisticated processing. The realisation of the AUDENA concept will lead to an autonomous, stable, simple and very economic novel sensor class applicable for any water-soluble substances. The second revolutionary technology in MARA employs a novel approach in protein mimicry and creation of artificial enzymes, which represents a breakthrough in several disciplines, such as biotechnology, biomedical manufacturing and the energy sector. The third breakthrough in this project represents the development of a Molecular Robot (MORO) that can specifically identify target cells and destroy them. In MARA, the MORO will be used for the lysis of bacterial cells to release intracellular antibiotic resistance associated antigens, but the long-term vision anticipates an application as antibiotic replacement for infectious diseases and a therapeutic agent for cancer treatment, which would represent one of the most important breakthroughs in medicine in the recent years. To meet the highly ambitious objectives pointed out in this proposal, MARA is driven by a complementary, multidisciplinary team of leading experts, with a young, high-profile scientist in the lead.

A week ago today, the news broke that Luke Perry had passed away at just 52 years old after suffering a stroke several days earlier. His untimely death brought production of the soapy teen drama Riverdale to a temporary halt, and it also exposed a glaring omission on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Neither Perry nor any of his Beverly Hills, 90210 costars has a star on sidewalk landmark, and now that he’s deceased, getting one will be harder than ever. According to TMZ, a deceased celebrity will only be considered for induction five years after his or her passing. And since Perry can’t provide written consent should he be nominated, his family will have to do so. Even then, only one deceased nominee is approved each year.
The next inductees? Anthropomorphic cartoon rodents Alvin and the Chipmunks will receive their star this Thursday, March 14. As for people in 90210‘s orbit, producer Aaron Spelling has had a star on the Walk of Fame since 1978—and Jason Priestley has a star (or a leaf, I guess?) on the Canadian Walk of Fame.
Hopefully the committee will keep an eye out for Perry’s app in 2024.

Yeah, so today I gave my first mini-staff meeting thingie about Laughton King's Dyslexia seminar from last week. I was pretty sure I knew my stuff well and I was prepared and all but there was this split second at the beginning where all knowledge and preparation escape my head totally!
Anyways, a deep breath saw me to the end and once I got going it was hard pressed to keep to the time limit! Lol! What made it for me was that my colleagues were so receptive and I totally got the feedback I deserved!
As for Laughton King, man what a legend this guys is! He's getting his word out there! And the thing is - it makes perfect sense! There wasn't a colleague that saw him that said they didn't agree with him! If you get the chance to see him I would erge you to jump at the opportunity.
Parents, Teachers, Caregivers, Learners; there's something in there for us all!
Hey man I went to one of those workshops too. I loved the whole diesel brain thing. It really got me thinking about What I could do for my kids in my class.
Presenting to staff has got to be one of the hardest things. I always talk way too much and for too long.

I took my very first bite of pasta (with tomato sauce) after moving to the U.S. eons ago. My first impression of Italian food..Umm.. was not that great. Maybe, I needed to try multiple times to get favorably initiated to the cuisine. However, not long after, my impression changed on my very first trip to Rome. We ate the best-tasting pasta (with tomato sauce) in a very unassuming cafe–a flavor I can still feel on the tip of my tongue. Even with my then unskilled palate I knew that the difference was in the tomatoes, spices, and herbs. This flavor-dense homemade multipurpose Italian-style tomato sauce is inspired from that memorable first tasting of real pasta sauce in Rome.
I sure can’t buy fresh, Italian tomatoes here, but do strive to find the best where I live. I would say that fresh, in-season, organic tomatoes definitely make a difference. I personally believe that choosing organic is key as tomatoes do soak a good amount of pesticides (more on this later), which compromises their taste. In the season, August and September in New York, organic tomatoes in local Farmers markets, U-pick farms, and even in supermarkets are quite affordable. When not in season, I use either canned or bottled organic whole tomatoes –which ALMOST duplicate the recipe to the letter. If choosing canned, make sure to pick a brand that uses BPA-free packaging (please read the label to make sure.) Packaged tomatoes, picked and packed at the height of the growing season, tend to have better original flavor compared to out-of-season fresh tomatoes.
Should you deseed and de-skin tomatoes?
It’s best to cut off the green round etched on the middle of a tomato. If you have heard that it’s poisonous, then a slightly ambiguous answer is that people who are interested in the subject to dispel this myth have uncovered that there is no scientific evidence that tomato stem and leaves are poisonous. This article published in The New York Times a while ago shines a lot of light on the topic. Personally, I don’t like the taste of green stem in the sauce as it brings in a slightly bitter note.
Now coming to the core issue of deseeding and deskinning tomatoes. Considering the health aspect, the scientific evidence is contradictory and confusing (stay tuned for more information on this). If I choose to deseed or de-skin tomatoes, it is for taste and texture. In some recipes, like this pasta sauce, too many seeds and skin often gets in the way of enjoying the sauce, but keeping seeds and skin is not a deal breaker. So take your pick. If you want a smoother sauce texture, removing seeds and skin helps.
There are two secret ingredients in this homemade multipurpose Italian tomato sauce–carrot and ground fennel seeds. While the carrot adds some body and sweetness to the sauce, fennel seeds bring in a subtle sweet flavor that seem to bind all other flavors together. Dried oregano and fresh basil (can sub with dried), both show up big in the final taste. For the final texture, you can either use a blender for finer texture or food processor for coarser texture.
I add tomato paste to the sauce, which adds to the depth of the flavor. However, I have also tried with tomato puree instead of paste, and the end result was almost similar. So just go with what you have at hand.
How long this sauce will last in refrigerator?
Since it is well cooked, this homemade multipurpose Italian sauce should keep in refrigerator for about 6-8 days. Make sure to store in an airtight, completely dry bottle. The duration will also depend on individual refrigerator temperature and usage habits. This sauce also freezes well; I often make two batches and freeze one in portion sizes. Although the taste is a bit diluted, the frozen tomato sauce also brings a big smile to whatever it is added to. To use the frozen version, just relocate it to the refrigerator a night before. Try to finish the frozen, thawed sauce within 3-4 days. This is why, it might be more apt to freeze in portion sizes.
Why go through the trouble of making pasta sauce at home, when…?
When there are so many varieties available in the grocery store. My biggest issue is taste. Most brands also contain a lot of fillers including high-fructose corn syrup (spoiler alert–don’t buy any food with HFCS), sugar, and excessive salt. If buying from store, buy a brand that is low in salt and devoid of HFCS or sugar. The only problem with making this sauce is that it is addictive–my family members now refuse to eat store-bought pasta sauce.
Try this pasta sauce with zucchini noodles and meat(less) Italian balls. They taste awesome. Also try these on subs with meat(less) balls and veggie stir-fry (stay tuned for the recipe) and homemade pizza.
This vegan, gluten-free flavor-dense pasta sauce celebrates the Italian classic. Top pasta, pizza, or a sub--its robust flavor lends a gourmet appeal to every pairing.
In a heavy-bottom pan, slowly heat avocado oil over medium heat: make sure not to make oil too hot or smoke. Add dried oregano and ground fennel seeds and stir with a spoon. This step takes only 10 seconds. Immediately add onions, garlic, and grated carrots. Stir often to cook. Add a few drops of water if the mixture starts to dry out and starts sticking to the bottom of the pan. Cook till carrots are softened--about 5-7 minutes.
Add chopped tomatoes and tomato paste with cayenne pepper, black pepper, salt, and chopped date. Stir to mix well and cook for two minutes till tomatoes have softened--about 2-3 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of water and stir. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Partially cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for about 30 minutes, stirring often to prevent sticking and mixing of flavors.
Stir fresh basil leaves (or dried) and cook for another 10 minutes. Take the pot off the stove and let it cool. Once cooled, blend it (in a blender) till well mixed or process in food processor (for a coarser texture). Enjoy!
*you can also use 1, 28-oz can of whole, peeled tomatoes for the same recipe.
For more intense flavor: add 1/2 tsp of oregano + 1 tbsp of white wine vinegar. I make this variation with canned tomatoes in winters.

Last column we looked at the five ways retirees could enhance their income, as outlined in Fred Vettese’s book, Retirement Income for Life. Today, we’ll drill down on the specific and controversial “third enhancement,” which was partial annuitization at the point of embarking upon retirement (usually at 65).
This strategy is for the vast majority of private-sector workers who lack the traditional Defined Benefit plans that are still prevalent in the public sector. If you envy that kind of guaranteed-for-life pension, there is a compelling argument for annuities, or at least partial annuitization. That of course is why annuities have always been one of the two main choices you are confronted with when you have to wind up your RRSP at the end of your 71st year.
Since few people want to cash out totally and immediately pay tax on the whole chunk, the vast majority of people either convert to a RRIF or to an annuity, although it’s not well understood that you can do both: this does not have to be an all-or-nothing decision.
Indeed, Vettese’s call to partly annuitize 30% of registered holdings at the point you begin retirement is an example of partial annuitization. The other 70% would still be invested in an RRSP or RRIF, perhaps with a second round of annuitization closer to the traditional age of 75 or so. (Keeping in mind Vettese also calls for commencement of the annuity-like CPP benefits at age 70).
Don’t expect your own advisor, especially if he or she is compensated with a percentage of assets under management from your RRSP or RRIF, to agree on this recommendation to annuitize. (As we said in the book review, few of Vettese’s enhancements will be embraced by the average financial advisor). Fee-only financial planner Rona Birenbaum says that’s because asset-based advisors charge 1% or more of your portfolio each and every year whereas an annuity merely pays an advisor a one-time commission up front of 1.5% or 2%, and that’s it.
That may help explain the mystery about why annuities are less popular than you might expect, given their benefits. But if you lack what finance professor and author Moshe Milevsky calls a “real” pension, then annuities are one viable way to go, if only for a portion of your assets. And you’re starting to see the nation’s financial institutions paying a lot more attention to this topic. Late in January, RBC ran a blog that said 62% of Canadians aged 55 to 75 are worried they’ll outlive their retirement savings but only 10% use or plan to use an annuity to ensure they’ll have a viable lifestyle in retirement.
Vettese says only 10% of private-sector workers now have true DB pensions and this will continue to dwindle: 60% of existing DB plans are being closed to new members, so he expects the percentage to fall eventually to just 5 or 6%. That’s a lot of people without true pensions. If you want to see what that world looks like, read the book Nomadland, which depicts the dire state of thousands of North Americans who lost their homes and wealth in the financial crisis and have taken to the roads to live in RVs and do temp work for Amazon. With grey divorce on the rise and the demise of employer DB plans, their only reliable income source is Social Security, or its Canadian equivalent of CPP/OAS.
CPP/OAS and social security are in effect inflation-indexed annuities but were only meant to be one of three pillars of retirement. If you lack pillar two (employer pensions) it’s up to retirees to convert whatever wealth they have in pillar three (registered and non-registered savings), and create their own “personal” pension. Enter registered and non-registered (or prescribed) annuities.
Here I must admit that I personally am considering going this route in the near future even though I know interest rates are finally starting to rise and may rise further in the coming year or two. As Birenbaum explains in a YouTube video, how much you receive from an annuity is very much age-related and the later you start, the higher the mortality credits (which you get from pooling longevity risk with others).
My own advisor, who is NOT compensated by assets, argues in favour of delaying annuitizing for now given my age (64) and a rising rate environment, but retaining flexibility with ladders of two-year GICs maturing at various times; my situation could be revisited when conditions are more advantageous to annuitize.
In her video, Birenbaum tackles the GIC vs annuity issue head on but seems more inclined to come down in favour of annuities. To test out the impact of one GIC laddering strategy, Birenbaum compared cash flow from age 65 to 90 under three scenarios: full annuitization at age 65, half at 65 with the other half in a five-year GIC until annuitization at age 70; and finally, all in a five-year GIC until age 70, then half annuitized at 70 and the other half annuitized at 75. She found virtually no difference in outcome under these three scenarios. “Overlaying the analysis with a present-value calculation would have resulted in the full annuitization at age 65 being the winner.” Chalk one up for Vettese, although she cautions that the comparison doesn’t factor in potential changes in interest rates.
As an exercise, I asked Birenbaum to provide three quotes for a $100,000 registered annuity (joint-and-survivor, with 20-year guarantees) with payments commencing at age 65, 70 and 75. As you might expect, the longer you wait, the higher the payouts but they are not dramatically higher by waiting. At age 65, the annual income ranged from a low of $3,810 from one provider to a high of $5,071. If commencing payments at 70, payouts ranged from $4,133 for the low provider to $5,566 for the high one. And by waiting till age 75, the annual income rose from $5,306 in the low case to $6,447 in the best case. Keep in mind that, as is also the case when deciding to defer CPP or not, going earlier also means you have the use of the money earlier.
The actual process of buying a registered annuity is simpler than you might imagine: you would liquidate $100,000 worth of investments in your RRSP so the cash is available to transfer, then complete an annuity purchase application and fill out and submit a T2033 RRSP transfer form. That form is sent to your RRSP administrator, and they transfer the cash to the insurance company without triggering tax. Once all these preliminary steps have been taken, payments begin the month following the annuity purchase, according to Birenbaum.
Of course, there is some risk in waiting to annuitize, since doing so assumes markets will cooperate long enough for your RRSP or RRIF to grow in the meantime. That risk is one reason Vettese argues for partial annuitization as early as 65, if that’s your chosen retirement age.
But as soon as 65? Doug Dahmer, CEO and founder of Burlington-based Retirement Navigator (a fee for service planner specializing in customizing retirement income), says that’s “a pretty punitive way to create assurances of money lasting as long as you do.” He agrees with Vettese that “dollar cost ravaging” can deplete retirement nest eggs far faster than originally planned. However instead he suggests that “by simply creating or taking advantage of forward knowledge of how much money you need, when you need it and where to source it on a year by year basis you can put pension-like disciplines in place to protect against the variability” described in Vettese’s strategy.
You can learn more about Vettese’s strategy in this YouTube video conducted by Rona Birenbaum.

Westbound traffic exiting the Outer Banks on the just-reopened span of the Wright Memorial Bridge.
The westbound span of the Wright Memorial Bridge has reopened. Depending on who’s spinning it, it’s either two day early a one year late.
Originally scheduled to be a one winter project, high winds a frigid temperatures slowed the repaving project down in the winter of 2013. Although the both spans of the bridge were open for peak season traffic last summer, it was clear to anyone leaving the Outer Banks that the project was unfinished.
Reopening on Wednesday of this past week, phase 2 of resurfacing work was completed a little ahead of schedule—two days., to be exact.
The $6.3 million NCDOT venture is part of a statewide plan to upgrade and maintain the state’s bridges. Using al atex-modified concrete designed to give a smoother ride and extend the road’s service life, the project also included replacing expansion joints in the bridge. Famous—or infamous—for its bumpy ride, especially in the summer, the new expansion joints should give riders a more even ride.
In other Outer Bank bridge news, the Mid Currituck Bridge appears to be back on track with all indications that it will be included in the next round of NCDOT project budgets voted on in June. The replacement for the Bonner Bridge is still in negotiations between the NCDOT and the Southern Environmental Law Center.

" I will be the first to admit the Kookaburra is not the most attractive bird in the world. But anyone that has ever watched "Jungle" movies has heard the distinctive call of the Kookaburra and that includes many of the movies that were set in geographical areas that the bird does not have a habitat! It is an unusual bird for sure and that is one of the reasons it is so wide spread in these movies. It is very unique to say the least. The Perth Mint (as usual) has done an exceptional job at minting this coin. I have been following this series for years and I can only say if it is attractive to you, buy! The BU that I have purchased are close to (but not quite at) proof! I have collected several Perth Mint coins and I have to say the quality is excellent. The picture does not do it justice so if you like what you see in the picture, buy and be well pleased we you get the coin."

Broadband companies who fail to provide “adequate” internet access shoudl have to may a statutory compensation of up to £75 per customer, campaign group Which? said yesterday.
Comparing them to utility companies, the campaign group yesterday commented that a gas or electricity company that fails in its coverage is required to pay the penalties, and at this point, broadband companies should be too. MPs came out in support of the call, claiming that the frequency of “mis-sold” broadband speeds was outrageous, and was the next “mis-selling scandal” that we would see. As it stands, advertising rules allow broadband providers to boast of “headline speeds” (or ‘up to’ speeds) as long as those speeds can be achieved by a paltry 10% of that firm’s customers.
The call comes as Ofcom prepares to announce whether BT will be forced to sell off its Openreach braodband company after criticisms over its level of service.
The watchdog will announce this today, as part of a review into cometition and investment practices in telecommunications, as well as their quality and availability, and is fuelled by the concerns of 100 MPs that their constituencies are suffering as a result of crawling broadband speeds.
Which? said the public now see “telecoms as an essential service, with our research finding people are twice as likely to cut spending on groceries than on their broadband.
Lloyd’s remarks were echoed by Grant Shapps MP, who is now campaigning for improved broadband speeds and better service from BT for all his constituents. Shapps compared the difference between what is advertised and what is provided to the VW emissions scandal, and cuttingly said: “The next battleground is people getting what they pay for. Bizarrely it’s considered completely legitimate to receive half the broadband speed you actually pay for thanks to some small print which says you can’t complain.
“Surely a fair system should be that if the provider does not provide the connection that’s being purchased more than x amount of the time, then they should be forced to give the consumer money back. This is the same system that applies on the railways or with flights where delays are compensated.
If a customer of a utility company has a problem with their gas or water supply, they are entitled to statutory compensation. If their electricity supply is lost for over 12 hours, a householder could receive up to £75, while homeowners suffering from low water pressure are entitled to £25, and gas customers with a fault in their pipes for more than 24 hours get £30. Broadband going down, however, is handled entirely by the provders themselves – and you can imagine how well they take to compensating customers for their shortcomings.
BT – the biggest provider in the UK and the one under the closest scrutiny – is willing to compensate customers with £10 if an engineer misses an appointment, but is silent on the topic of a loss of service. In these cases, there is no set minimum compensation amount, and the customer has to make a claim against the provider themselves.

Omnia Media, a YouTube multi-channel network focused on music, gaming, and style content, has named Chris Yates its new vice president of monetization.
In the role, Yates will be responsible for negotiating and securing strategic partnerships with film studios, TV networks, music labels, and other viable media companies. He is also tasked with creating off-YouTube licensing opportunities for Omnia and its network of talent, as well as syndicating Omnia’s video content across new publishers and platforms.
Most recently, Yates was VP of content licensing and business development for Reliance Majestic Holdings, which was formerly known as the Rovi Entertainment Store. There, he led the company’s partnerships with content owners like Sony Pictures, Warner Bros., and HBO. Prior to Rovi, Yates served in a similar capacity at Dell, where he led marketing partnerships between the computer manufacturer and film studios, TV networks, and music labels.
Operating quietly since its launch, Omnia currently claims a YouTube network reach of more than 1,000 content partners across its core verticals of music, gaming, and style. The MCN is backed by Canada’s Blue Ant Media, which invested “seven figures” in Omnia in April.

ADDIS ABEBA – Japan agreed to fund a restoration project of Addis Abeba University’s RasMekonnen hall, located within sadist kilo campus.
The campus, what used to be Emperor Haile Selassie’s residence with a name GueneteLuel Palace before he gave it up for the university, will be a subject of restoration project by the university’s Institute of Ethiopian Studies (IES).
The project will be funded by Japan whose ambassador in Addis Abeba signed the contract a deal that grants to USD 85,679 (equivalent to ETB 2,403,500) with Dr. Ahmed Hassen, director of IES.
The fund “will be used to renovate Ras Makonnen Hall as both a functional and historical multi-purpose lecture hall, while retaining its cultural and historical values by repairing damaged parts, restoring the interior, and installing new equipment”, said the embassy after the signing event.
It is to be recalled that on the 20th of September 2017, Addis Ababa University signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Kyoto University in Japan for academic exchange and research cooperation.
Based on this MoU, the IES will make Ras Makonnen Hall available to the Center for African and Oriental Studies of the AAU, and the Center for African Area Studies of Kyoto University, for organizing public lectures and exhibitions related to Japanese studies and the Japanese language.
