President Muhammadu Buhari has commended the Governor of Abia State, Dr Okezie Ikpeazu, on the newly commissioned Ariaria Power Plant, saying that without his (Ikpeazu) commitment and cooperation, the federal government would not have actualized the Ariaria Independent Power Plant located at the Ariaria International Market.
Speaking at the commissioning of the project yesterday in Aba, the commercial capital of the state, President Buhari said: “I thank Your Excellency, Okezie Ikpeazu, Governor of Abia State, for your support to this project from the Federal Ministry of Power, Works and Housing. Thanks for your cooperation; without your cooperation, our work would not have been smooth.
“You have demonstrated that with the common good as our vision and objective, a lot can be achieved irrespective of our party differences and constitutional limitations.
“Your Excellency has no political colour. I was elected for office on the convincing arguments that my party made about my commitment to security, developing the economy and fighting corruption.
“To all the traders, businessmen and women in this market, I say weldone for contributing to national productivity and job creation. I am sure that now we are here you would experience better days and prosperity in this market in order to provide support to more businesses in pursuit of economic growth”, Buhari said.
Also, Minister for Power, Works and Housing, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, commended Governor Ikpeazu, saying, “Mr. President, There was one man who stood by us, he is Governor Ikpeazu. All we needed was a phone call and he said ‘I would provide the land’, and he provided us this land. He promised to repair the Ariaria road, and he has done it.
In his response, Governor Ikpeazu said: “Today is perhaps one of the happiest days of my life since 2015. It became clear to us that our strategy to develop Abia have to take a bearing on two things; one the things that our people can do very well and, two, take advantage of the policies of the federal government. So we decided to study the problems of Ariaria International market not only for being the hub of Trade and Commerce in the African sub region, but also because it is a center to the manufacturing of shoes and garments and all kinds of manufacturing of leather products.
The World Bank recognizes Abia as the place that has over 200,000 people doing all kinds of things and we know that each and everyone of them multiplied we have nearly 1 million people doing all kinds of things and most of them are located around Ariaria Market here. So, we noticed that some of the major problems were dependent on energy, building stores; some of them apart from road infrastructure were power, market shares, while the other one was automation and, of course, I want to acknowledge the support and the presence of the Vice President whom you sent on two different occasions to undergo SME clinics.
“We brought Ndi Aba face to face with the agencies that were responsible for budget and as well as got encouraged for us to begin the construction of this road.
“This Faulks Road, 20 years ago, nobody would imagine that it was possible to access Ariaria end to end. Beneath this road is 6 and half kilometers of underground drainage, with two pumps, pumping flood water from Ifeobara to Waterside that is the reach of the architectural endeavour that supports the efforts of the federal government.
“I am happy to say that when this option came for power to be provided in this very beautiful way, we all rallied around and said we must do the needful to give ndi Aba the option of which power constitutes a major part of, and of course, this is far better than whatever they had before now and I am happy to say that Aba is now one of the key areas where we have uninterrupted power supply for at least a few shops in this market for more than two years now and with opportunities to scale up and impact the desires of the federal government.
“I am also sure that a few houses around here are applying to the REA to be allowed to key into this beautiful Initiative.
“Therefore, I want to say today, that capacity building which used to be one of the problems in this State, has been solved because 30 young ordinary shoe makers were sent from this market to China to learn how to do shoes in an automated way. I am happy to also say that the machines that we imported have arrived here in Aba waiting for installation.

Parts of Prince William Forrest Park in Virginia will re-open Monday after a March windstorm closed the park to visitors for weeks.
A National Park Service news release says areas that are clear of fallen and hazardous trees will open Monday.
Visitors can enter the park from Park Entrance Road off of Joplin Road beginning at 9 am. Piedmont Forest Trail, Laurel Trail Loop, Birch Bluff Trail, and Crossings Trail will be open to the public.
The Pine Grove Picnic Area and Telegraph Picnic Area will also open Monday.
High winds that blew through Prince William Forest Park last week knocked down a number of trees. Now the damage, worse than the destruction after Hurricane Sandy, is forcing the Park Service to close it down for weeks. News4's Derrick Ward reports.
However, most roads, trails, campgrounds, and facilities remain closed due to safety concerns following the windstorm. Prince William Forest Park administrators plan to open additional areas of the park as storm damage is mitigated.
The storm, which brought wind gusts as strong as 70 mph to the region, caused more damage to the park than Hurricane Isabel, Hurricane Sandy and the 2012 derecho, the park service said.
Prince William Forest Park is the largest protected natural area in northern Virginia.

The project was simple enough. Design a house using energy renewable principles using Google sketch up.Then a student approached me and asked ‘Can I use Minecraft instead?’ This is where the teacher dread runs through your veins. Really? What happens when another looks into my classroom and can see Minecraft on the Projector.
As eLearning coordinator I am constantly listening to teachers say ‘they are just using the computers to play Minecraft’ or ‘Minecraft is destroying my classroom’ (secretly I want to say well it could if you let them design a classroom using the program.
So I went with my gut feeling and said ‘Oh, why not. And while you are using it can you please create a demo to share with the rest of the class’.
So he did and it was pretty amazing we all managed to learn something about Minecraft.The engagement and level of achievement was encouraging enough for me to share it at a staff meeting.
The student explained how his design was energy efficient with the use of specific examples such as grey water systems for his vegetable patch, solar panels and the use of curtains to all save energy. Staff were very impressed with how he could explain how these worked using his design.
Next time I do this I will encourage students to be creative and use an App such as Explain Everything to present their work or iXplain.
For this particular student to show what he learnt and explain his design of a house.
Demonstrating that it is ok to let go of the control and that you do not need to know all of the technology.
Try and highlight using student interest.
One teacher asks me to show them the assessment and a copy of student work.
That one teacher shares that information with another teacher.
A light bulb moment happens to a staff member and they can see how they could use it.
The top one is a high level student and the below is an entry level student who was learning how to use the program.
The success criteria was met, there was one student teacher sitting in that presentation. They were motivated to use it in their classroom with the supervising teacher watch a graduate demonstrate that it is fine to not know all of the technology and let the students teach you. That student teacher then shared this with another student teacher and it happened in another Science class. So the lightbulbs started to shine at school.

What defines us as Canadians?
Apathy is Boring sought to address this question in a short documentary series we created with Juno-winning filmmaker Anthony von Seck. The short films feature personal stories from actor Tom Green, musician Amy Millan (Stars), music educator David Hodges and singer Mariame Hasni discussing how their Canadian identity has shaped their art.
We launched the videos on March 25th, 2015, to a captive audience of young Montrealers and community leaders.
The screening was followed by a workshop activity, where participants were asked to identify an issue they care about, discuss it with other participants and together, develop ideas for shaping Canada's future.
This event marks the beginning of a campaign by Apathy is Boring to inspire young Canadians to have the conversations that matter.

Have you ever heard the story of the cracked pot? I had not until I started Google searching after learning that Mrs. Barbara has just been diagnosed with macular degeneration. One of her eyes had a significant decrease in vision over the last couple weeks. When it hadn't improved, she went to the eye doctor. The doctor saw blood in the eye and immediately referred her to a specialist the next day, who diagnosed her with macular degeneration in both eyes. The eye with the vision changes is "wet", which means there are bleeding vessels behind the retina. The other eye has the "dry" form - the macula is deteriorating. There is no pain, just a progressive or sometimes sudden loss of vision. But once there is damage, it cannot be repaired. The doctor explained it this way: the retina/macula is like concrete. As it ages, there can become cracks. When new blood vessels form and come up through the cracks, you get "wet" macular degeneration.
Very interesting description...one that led to my coming across the Cracked Pot story. A story that I feel describes Mrs. Barbara and her new diagnosis. On top of everything else going on in her life, anything new like this can be scary and defeating. One more diagnosis to add to the list along with another drug or two and no doubt the negative emotions at times. Why does her body seem to fail...crack...leak? I wish I had the answer, but only God does, and I find comfort in that I don't have to have all the answers. But I do want to share that amidst all the things BAD that happen to her on this journey, I continue to witness a valiant warrior. She is holding on tightly to the possibility that these clinical trial medicines are working in her body to reverse the cancer growth. She is battling daily through each side effect (fatigue, fever, lower abdominal pain, aches, GI issues, insomnia, etc). It is quite amazing to witness what is "leaking" from her...perseverance, dedication, gratitude, love, humility to name a few. And she is growing some pretty awesome flowers in the process. God has a purpose for His cracked pots. Let Him fill you up, so you can leak out His good works.
Heavenly Father, I lift up my precious Mother-in-Love to you tonight. She is going through so much right now. I pray that she continues to find the small blessings on her journey. I pray others continue to see You in her. I pray we all can appreciate and embrace our cracks like it is written in 2 Corinthians 12:9, "Your grace is sufficient for us; for Your strength is made perfect in weakness." In Jesus Precious Name, Amen.

To celebrate the tenth anniversary, a new, two-disc deluxe edition of the original Broadway cast album of Wicked was released digitally Oct. 29. The VerveUMe deluxe edition, which includes bonus tracks and the single "Popular Song" by MIKA (featuring Ariana Grande), will arrive in stores Nov. 19. (A two-disc 5th Anniversary Edition cast album, featuring pop covers and tracks from international productions, was released in 2008.) The two-disc recording also includes deluxe packaging featuring the show's tenth anniversary artwork, and a bonus booklet with new, updated essays by composer/lyricist Schwartz and original novelist Maguire, whose book, "Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West," inspired the hit musical.

Wicked began previews on Broadway Oct. 8, 2003, with an official opening Oct. 30, 2003. The original cast included Tony winners Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth as, respectively, the green-faced, misunderstood Elphaba and the curly-locked Glinda.
Playbill recently interviews Menzel and Chenoweth, who reflected on their first adventure into Oz.
Based on Gregory Maguire's novel, which turned every Oz myth inside out, Wicked explores the early life of the witches of Oz: Glinda and Elphaba. The two main characters meet at Shiz, a school where both hope to take up sorcery. Glinda is madly popular and Elphaba is, well, green. By a misunderstanding, they wind up roommates and, after an initial period of mutual loathing, begin to learn something about each other. Their life paths continue to intersect through a shared love, entry into the Emerald City and interaction with the Wizard himself. Eventually, their choices and convictions take them on widely different paths.

Sometimes you find yourself in the right place at the right time. Well, almost in the case of Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich when it came to the opportunity to sit behind the kit onstage with U2's Bono and The Edge.
In a new edition of Ulrich's Beats1 radio program It's Electric!, Foo Fighters mainman Dave Grohl stopped by and the two wound up trading stories about Paul McCartney. Grohl first detailed the time the Foos served as the backing band for Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger on Saturday Night Live! in 2012 and recording with the Beatles legend for the Sound City soundtrack.
Ulrich took his turn next, recalling the time he was at an event where Bono and The Edge were performing. Noticing there was a vacant rhythm section on stage (drums and bass), the Metallica skinsman went to seize the moment. "I'm like, 'This is my chance to drum in U2 with Bono and The Edge. And I start building up the courage. I'm standing at the back hoping nobody will see me and I'm going to start walking up and right as I start this other guy is five feet ahead of me and walks up and I can't see who it is," Ulrich said (transcription via Rolling Stone). "And then he goes up and sits behind the drum kit up there and it's Paul McCartney. I say, 'Wait a minute. I'm supposed to play drums in U2. That was my shot!' Then I ran screaming out of there and haven't been back since," he continued.
Ulrich described the jam, adding, "But [McCartney] is a great drummer. He had a great pocket. It was super cool. They did a couple of songs and it was Bono, The Edge and McCartney on drums it was crazy. It was so cool because there was no phones allowed... and it was just something that existed in the people's minds that were there."
In other news, Metallica have been nominated for both Metal Artist of the Year and Metal Album of the Year in the 2017 Loudwire Music Awards. Fan voting has already begun and you can cast your votes now at this location.

Title: Utilization of membrane technology to maximize antibody production in high-density cell cultures.
Discovery scale, high-throughput methods for in vitro antibody and protein production can be time intensive, expensive and typically require fixed equipment such as shakers, pumps, hollow fiber bioreactors or stir tank reactors. In these experiments, we evaluated the membrane flask technology available in the CELLine™ Bioreactor Flask. CELLine flasks allow for high-density cell culture as well as concentration of the expressed protein or antibody from various mammalian, insect and hybridoma cells lines. This discussion will include a comparison of specific performance metrics of the CELLine flask versus standard suspension shake flask and roller bottle methods. Specific growth and performance data will be presented on CHO cells and hybridoma cells. Additionally, the quality of product will be discussed as it relates to assay integrity and antibody specificity, ultimately demonstrating the merits and superiority of membrane flask technology for convenient, inexpensive high-throughput antibody and protein production.

These days gender stereotypes are out. The “rule” that the man has to get down on one knee doesn’t apply anymore so if you’re ready for the next step, go for it! The best part about proposing to your honey is there are no rules. You don’t have to wait a million years for him to pop the question, you don’t compete for the best proposal from all your friends, and it just might take the pressure off everyone. Here’s a few things to think about and guidelines to consider for proposing to your man.
The biggest part of any proposal is knowing you’re ready for marriage. Marriage is forever, unless you’re going for a short Hollywood marriage, so make sure both of you are on the same track. Think about why he hasn’t proposed yet. Is he in this for the long haul and just nervous about the perfect proposal or is he going to run out the door at the first mention of a wedding? Have a talk about the future and what you both want for one another. Just because he hasn’t gotten down on one knee with that bling doesn’t mean he doesn’t see a future with you. Many men don’t like having the dreaded talk about labels, but knowing where you are both are when it comes to your future together is the most important thing before that ring hits anyone’s finger.
Traditionally the man asks the woman’s father or family for her hand in marriage. Sometimes this tradition is thrown out the door because the guy is just too scared to even ask, it’s not something he believes in, or he just knows he has their blessing already. It’s probably best to still ask the family because it can be seen as the respectful thing to do. They may be delighted you’re flipping the switch on tradition and making their son an honest man. Another huge tradition is, of course, the ring. Do you buy an engagement ring for him? This is all up to you because the usual case is the girl wears her engagement ring alone until the wedding when she adds the wedding band. The groom usually gets his wedding band at the actual wedding. Engagement rings for guys are a rising trend so either way you decide is just fine. Instead of getting him an actual engagement ring, you could get him a custom pair of cuff links or another piece of jewelry.
It’s important to remember if you’re proposing to your man, you’re not proposing to yourself. This proposal isn’t about your dream. Think about something he would love to make this proposal special. If he’s private, he probably wouldn’t like to be proposed to on the jumbotron. If he’s loud and proud, getting down on one knee after dinner at your house is sweet, but not his dream proposal. Keep in mind he probably doesn’t even have a dream proposal so you need to go the extra mile to really make it memorable. He may love surprises and be thrilled about a wild and crazy one. He may be old fashioned and be thrilled if you turned to him and asked for his hand in marriage on a horse drawn carriage ride. You know your mate, so dig deep and be thoughtful to create his perfect proposal.
You may be a bundle of nerves as you prepare to pop the big question. He may also have a puzzled look on his face as you get down on your knee. You can say something simple or go for the long monologue, whatever you do just speak from your heart. The most important part of this entire thing is to say the words, “Will you marry me?” If all else fails when you’re trying to remember the rehearsed words you spoke so eloquently in your mirror a million times, just ask for his hand in marriage and all will be okay.
Be ready for any answer. Proposals usually make national news when someone says “no” publicly so the odds are he’ll say yes, but always be prepared. He may want to go the traditional route of asking you. He may have even already bought a ring! Be prepared for anything. He may actually be so stunned that he has to sit and think before answering you. The worst case scenario is he may just not be ready to dive into marriage. This is fine, too, but you still need to talk about your future together. A “no” doesn’t mean the wedding is off forever, but you need to discuss why you both aren’t jumping for joy and sharing your engagement news.
Since this is new territory for you as a woman, you may not know all the preparations needed for a proposal. Make sure you plan ahead for any crazy things that may arise. If you’re planning an outdoor engagement, make sure to have a back-up in case inclement weather decides to drown your plans. Traffic may hold you up if you’re going to a big event. He may get sick the day of the planned proposal so it’s up to you to decide if he’s too sick to say “yes.” Make sure you make reservations for things like hotels and restaurants. If loved ones are helping you pull off the perfect proposal, make sure they all know their roles and are ready. If you’re asking him via a plane writing in the sky, make sure that pilot is on time and you’re not staring at your picnic dinner instead of into the sky. You’re going to probably be shaking with nerves so preparing and double checking will save you lots of stress on the big day.

+/// \brief Defines the synch scope ABI for OpenCL.
> > > Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you don't get to define the "ABI for OpenCL" any more than I get to define the "ABI for C".  You're defining the ABI for your specific OpenCL implementation, but Clang might reasonably support other implementations with their own ABIs.  So this name is inappropriate.
> > > Now, if I understand how SPIR works, SPIR does require some sort of stable lowering of these atomic operations in order to ensure that the resulting LLVM IR can be ingested into an arbitrary implementation.  (Ot at least that was true prior to SPIR V?)  Therefore, SPIR needs to specify a lowering for these atomic operations, and that probably includes ABI values for specific sync-scopes.  But the appropriate name for that would be the "SPIR ABI", not the "OpenCL ABI".  And, of course, you would need to be sure that you're implementing the lowering that SPIR actually wants.
> > The ABI is not intended for a specific OpenCL implementation, but for extending to other languages. For example, we have a downstream C++ based language called HCC, which may support atomic scope with an ABI different than OpenCL atomic scope ABI.
> By "ABI" you mean that it might present a different model of synchronization scopes to the source language?  Okay, that's great, and it explains a lot of things that were very murky about some of our previous conversations.
>   - They don't need to be in the __builtin_opencl namespace.
>   - They *do* need to be enabled only in language modes with well-defined sync-scope models, which for now just means OpenCL.
>   - The language mode's sync-scope model should determine everything about the scope argument, including its type.  Sema-level validation requires first determining the language's sync-scope model.
>   - There is no meaningful way to "default" the scope argument on the non-scoped builtins the way that we are now.  Instead, the scope argument should only exist for the scoped builtins.
> Alternatively, if you potentially want the opencl-model builtins to be usable from non-opencl languages, the right design is for HCC to use its own set of builtins with their own type-checking rules.
> In either case, I don't think it's a good idea to call this "ABI", which is associated too strongly with target-lowering concepts.  You're really talking about a source-language concept.
We could introduce __builtin_hcc_atomic_* in downstream HCC.
We need a generic approach to represent atomic scope values for different languages and associated semantic/codegen needs, and AtomicScopeABI seems generic enough to serve the purpose. It has interface for semantic checking (isValid), and the interface to map to LLVM sync scope for both constant and variable arguments. If the name is not proper, we could rename it to just `AtomicScope`.
I can remove the default atomic scope for atomic expressions without scope originally. For them I just emit LLVM atomic instructions with default LLVM synch scope.

LAWRENCE COUNTY, Ala. - A very popular Christmas carol about geese-a-laying helped bring gratitude to the halls of East Lawrence High.
Assistant Principal Casey Tate says they identified twelve groups of people they wanted to highlight and appreciate, and the students took it from there.
Twelve Days of Giving was born, and there were many students-a-working.
Each group, and the corresponding gift, was linked to the song.
The first day was for senior citizens.
"For a partridge in a pear tree, they prepared fruit baskets, and we delivered those," explained Tate.
Also on the list: the school board, the custodian, the list keeps going.
"It just showed us to appreciate everyone and not take people for granted," explained senior and basketball player Brent Proctor. "For the lunch ladies we did maids-a-milking so we brought them cookies and milk and hot chocolate."
For the five golden rings, it went to Lawrence County deputies.
The rings were donuts, we know deputies like donuts," said Tate.
Knowing that everyone in the community, including students at the school, are at risk of going without, there was also an ongoing collection.
"The culminating activity is, through donations, we are going to feed multiple families in need this Christmas," explained Tate.
It's the first year of the project, and Tate says faculty members are already asking for it to return next December. Senior Proctor says it brought the student body closer, and made them appreciate something else about the holiday.
"Kids these days, when they think about Christmas they think 'Oh I'm getting presents,' but now we get to see the other side of it, how we can give back to the community and not just receive all the time, and be thankful for what we do have," he said.
