Many were able to regularise their stay in England through our establishment. So, at what point did you decide to focus more on Nigeria? I actually represented Britain when it came to the harmonization of tourism education across Europe. I was also involved in educational development. In fact, vocational education deve...
I featured in so many publications. I supported lots of good causes which had to do with Nigerians in European communities. I was an employer also because I went into consultancy training for blacks. I grew a very large base of Nigerians in my support for the community in London, helping people to stabilize. But the ho...
Goodman and her husband, also a Montreal native, moved from Ontario to Israel in 1994 to be near their two daughters. She now lives in the national religious community of Ma'aglim, near Netivot and located less than three miles from Gaza, as the crow – or Kassam – flies.
She told Arutz Sheva she wants action and not another “photo-op” of Prime Minister Netanyahu, similar to that published Sunday when he visited southern Israel. “I already know what he looks like,” Goodman said.
“We, the residents are being held hostage by the Kassam and Grad missile barrage that is presently being carried out by the Palestinian terrorists who live in Gaza,” she wrote.
“As a tax paying Israeli citizen, Mr. Prime Minister, I would like to know what you and your government are doing to put a stop to this terror for once and for all.
“We have had enough lip service from you…time for real action. We have the best army in the world. Our chayalim and chayalot [soldiers] are very dedicated young men and women. [It is] time to show the Arabs what dedicated chayalim who love our country can do.
“No one likes or wants war but sometimes this is the only answer. To the Palestinians, dialogue is considered as weakness; they only understand brute force.
“You must order Barak to give the order to the IDF to clean up Gaza and not leave until the job is totally finished. If Barak refuses to send in the troops, fire him! You are the prime minister and not him. The buck stops at your desk.
“Let me tell you what it is like to live in the south…we are always waiting for the other shoe to drop…. seven of my grandchildren, who also live in Ma’agalim, have known so much terror in their young lives.
“I couldn’t care less what Obama, Clinton, the U.N. or any other world leader has to say and you shouldn’t either. It is your job to keep us safe. The 'Pals' [Palestinian Authority] don’t want peace. You know that…They want every piece of Israel with all of us floating in the sea. [It is] time to standup and show them ...
“Trusting you will do the right thing and clean up Gaza.

LeBron James was trading lob pass with Dwyane Wade again, one last time. Lobs from Kyrie Irving once again too. And after making a stepback 3-pointer late, he stared down Joel Embiid to send a message without saying a word.
Team LeBron, down by 20 in the second half, finally got firing and went on to beat Team Giannis 178-164 in the All-Star Game on Sunday night. MVP Kevin Durant scored 31 points for Team LeBron, the one that James drafted and led to victory in the captain’s-choice format for a second consecutive season. Klay Thompson sco...
Giannis Antetokounmpo — the first-time captain — led everybody with 38 points for the team he drafted. Paul George and Khris Middleton each scored 20 points for Team Giannis, which got 17 apiece from Stephen Curry and Russell Westbrook.
“We just started making shots,” Durant said.
Durant is now a two-time MVP, also winning it back in 2012. He lauded Charlotte for the weekend.
The highlights, as would be expected, were absurdly good, time and again.
Curry slammed the ball off the floor on a first-half fast break and watched it ricochet toward the rim with an apex that flirted with the top of the backboard. Too high for most humans — but Antetokounmpo isn't most humans. The freakishly long Greek star slammed Curry’s unconventional alley-oop pass home, with both ben...
It was not a defensive showcase, as always.
Team Giannis set an All-Star record with 23 field goals in the first quarter, topping the mark of 22 set on four other occasions — by both the West and the East in the first quarter of the 2017 game, and by the West in both the second and third quarters of the 2016 game.
The 53 points tied a one-quarter All-Star record as well, matching the total by the West in the third quarter of the 2016 games and by the East in the first quarter of the 2017 game. But when it was time to get competitive, things tightened up considerably, at least by All-Star standards.
But when Team LeBron used a flurry of 3s to get back into it, everyone on the bench was standing — sometimes running from the bench and onto the court during play, the celebrations a bit more exuberant than what’s usually allowed.
And the All-Star farewells for the Heat’s Wade and the Mavericks’ Dirk Nowitzki — the adds to the game by NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, in honor of their career bodies of work — were festive, as everyone wanted.
Nowitzki entered the game late in the first quarter and made his first three shots — all of them 3-pointers — before heading back to the bench. Wade checked in not long after Nowitzki took the floor, then started the second half and achieved his primary missions for his last All-Star Game as a player.
He got an alley-oop lob from James.
And he threw an alley-oop lob to James.
Wade dunked, James dunked, and the close friends who entered the NBA together in 2003 and won championships with Miami in 2012 and 2013 got a couple of more moments to savor in their final night as on-court teammates.
Wade finished with seven points in 10 minutes, and Nowitzki never returned after his nine-point, four-minute opening stint. When the third quarter ended, every player gathered behind them as Wade and Nowitzki were honored with commemorative jerseys at midcourt.
“Thank you to the commissioner and the NBA for allowing us to both be on this stage again,” Nowitzki said.
Team Giannis: Antetokounmpo was awarded a first-quarter free throw — but instead of shooting it, he tossed a pass to himself off the backboard. It isn’t legal, and didn’t work, but he didn’t mind. Joel Embiid had 12 rebounds and Antetokounmpo added 11. Kemba Walker, the lone Hornets player in the game, had four points ...
Team LeBron: James spent part of halftime on the court listening to J. Cole’s performance, then grabbed a hug from Patriots owner Robert Kraft. The Pelicans’ Anthony Davis, who was dealing with a muscle strain in his shoulder, played five minutes and made both of his shots.
Ordinarily “Splash Brothers” in Golden State, Curry went splat — courtesy of Klay Thompson.
Early in the fourth quarter, Curry shot a 3-pointer from the right wing while getting fouled by someone who’s usually his teammate. Thompson gave a dismissive wave, as if to ask “Why’d I do that?” when Curry’s 3 swished. And Curry made the free throw to seal the four-point play.
Victor Oladipo’s season is over with a leg injury that kept him from playing in the All-Star Game as well. The Pacers star, however, was watching. “Wish I could be there playing with you guys but I know this will be a good game to watch!” Oladipo tweeted. “I was on Team LeBron last year but this year it’s all about (ha...
There were no fights, though that didn’t stop the league from bringing in reknowned boxing ring announcer Michael Buffer to deliver his famed “Let’s get ready to rumble” proclamation just before tip-off.
The next All-Star Game is Feb. 16, 2020, at the United Center in Chicago.
It’s been nearly two years since 10-year-old Caleb Schwab rode the infamous Verrückt waterslide, the tallest in the world, at the Kansas City Schlitterbahn Waterpark, only to be decapitated on the way down.
His death sparked a lengthy, in-depth critical look at Schlitterbahn parks, which has since led Kansas inspectors to discover that the waterpark suffered from several violations of park regulations. And as detailed in a lengthy and terrifying new deep-dive into Schlitterbahn published last week by Texas Monthly, Schwab...
Although the federal government’s Consumer Product Safety Commission has the authority to set safety standards for such products as baby cribs and bicycles, it has no authority to regulate water parks.

Tesla Inc. is set to make one of the largest deliveries yet of its new Model 3 car to Norway, one of the electric vehicle producer’s biggest markets.
Tesla Inc.’s Model 3 lost a coveted recommendation from Consumer Reports, dropping its brand from the top 10 of the magazine’s closely watched annual ranking. The electric-car maker’s shares dropped.
Elon Musk said Tesla Inc. will make about 500,000 cars this year, a prediction that’s difficult to gauge given the CEO’s proclivity for setting stretch goals.
It was only a few months ago that Wall Street was bashing Elon Musk’s Tesla Inc. Times have changed for the automaker and its mercurial CEO.
"I've been working in a corporate ID role for about 5 years now. My current organization doesn't have more room for growth, and I will be interviewing at a few places in the coming weeks for a more senior position. Over the course of 5 years, I've had more of the projects that I work on get cancelled than not. Leaving ...
My main question is: Is it acceptable to show this work (the cancelled projects)? I haven't included it in my portfolio that got me in the door, but I'd like to be able to show more to the hiring managers. As a hiring manager what would you recommend? What would you do in this situation?"
1. get permission from your boss. Has its obvious draw backs of you boss knowing you are looking.
"Public portfolio: never. Private: Sometimes.
As others have said, know your audience. If you are at Ford and you get an interview at Dodge, assume that everyone at both companies is going to find out about the interview and what you did or didn't show. If you are interviewing at Bouty Chairs (different industry, different region), assume that no one will ever fin...
Second is how you use it. Don't lead with, "This is a super top secret never to be disclosed prototype I worked on.". Keep it incomplete, vague and punch up the skill it is showing. ie show a render, prototype detail, sketch but not a 60 page technical package.
"I know people who have gotten fired for sharing client concept work - it's a very small industry and you never know if your new interviewing manager is your current managers former college roommate. If any part of you feels that you shouldn't show it, then you probably shouldn't.
"I definitely agree with the 'if it hasn't been released, don't show it' view. Even if it's not in the same sector of design, it's a small world, and a small world of designers who talk to each other! I once interviewed a candidate who stated talking about unreleased product, they even started the line with "I probably...
I think most employers will understand that you've worked on products that have been dropped or shelved, it's all part of the design process. I'd agree with Yo, beef up your portfolio with alternative examples of work, or even demonstrate how you work as well as what you've worked on."
Knowing whether a cancelled project is OK to include in your portfolio isn't the only subtlety worth mentioning when it comes to managing an archive of your work—what are some other tips you've learned about maintaining a professional portfolio you have personally found to be helpful?

MOSCOW — Details of a new Russian submarine-launched nuclear torpedo have been shown on state-controlled TV, a secret the Kremlin said should never have been aired. Some observers, however, saw it as a deliberate leak.
The airing of the video on television channels under tight Kremlin control raised suspicions that it was done intentionally to scare the West at a time when its ties with Russia are at the lowest point since the Cold War.
NTV and Channel One showed a large document — filmed over a general's shoulder during a meeting with Putin — with drawings and details of a prospective weapons system called Status-6.
The system developed by St.Petersburg-based Rubin design bureau includes nuclear submarines carrying long-range torpedoes, which could create "extensive zones of radioactive contamination" that would make enemy coastal areas "unsuitable for military, economic, business or other activity for a long time," the document s...
"It's true that some secret information was caught by the camera and therefore it was subsequently removed," Putin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said late Wednesday. "We hope this will not happen again."
Independent experts noted, however, that it would be hard to imagine cameramen of state TV stations closing up on any documents on the table during a Kremlin meeting on military issues. Most saw the incident as a deliberate leak intended to warn Washington and its allies that Russia is working on a new devastating weap...
"I have a feeling it was shown in order to scare the world," said Alexander Golts, an independent Moscow-based military analyst. "It's an attempt to offer an asymmetrical answer to the U.S. missile defense."
Putin has held four meetings on defense issues in as many days this week, reflecting the close attention he is paying to military modernization at a time of heightened tensions with the United States and Europe over the crisis in Ukraine.
The Russian leader described NATO's U.S.-led missile defense program as an attempt to break nuclear parity and warned that Moscow would counter it by deploying new strike weapons capable of piercing the shield.
Military experts and commentators traced the nuclear torpedo concept to the 1950s, when it was first offered by Andrei Sakharov, the father of Soviet thermonuclear bomb who later came to defy the Soviet system and won a Nobel Peace Prize. He proposed targeting the U.S. with high-yield nuclear torpedoes that would creat...
The proposal was rejected, partly because naval technology of the era wouldn't allow a Soviet submarine to approach the U.S. shore undetected.
The Status-6 appears to be a new reincarnation of the old idea, said Pavel Felgenhauer, an independent military analyst.
"The plan is to deliver a 100-megaton nuclear bomb to the U.S. shores," he said. "It would cause a highly radioactive tsunami."
The details of the new weapon shown on Russian state TV indicated that the torpedo should have a trans-Ocean range of 10,000 kilometers (5,400 miles), something military experts considered impossible.
But while the torpedo's real range could be much shorter, its relatively small size, a purported operational depth of 1,000 meters (3,280 feet) and a speed of 105 kilometers (65 miles per hour) appear realistic, making it difficult to spot and destroy, some observers said.
"Detecting it could be significantly different from detecting a submarine,"said Pavel Podvig, an independent analyst based in Geneva, where he runs his research project, "Russian Nuclear Forces."
The government daily Rossiyskaya Gazeta alleged that in order to achieve the stated purpose of "extensive radioactive contamination" of coastal areas, the project could envisage using the so-called cobalt bomb, a nuclear weapon designed to produce enhanced amounts of radioactive fallout compared to a regular atomic war...
Podvig said the apparent deliberate leak of the Status-6 details looks menacing, irrespective of how realistic the project is from the technological viewpoint.
"The whole thing just strikes me as crazy," he said.
LOS PELAMBRES MINE, Chile The global fight against climate change will boost demand for copper, a key metal used in the production of electric vehicles, Antofagasta chairman Jean-Paul Luksic said on Wednesday.
LOS PELAMBRES MINE, Chile, April 17 The global fight against climate change will boost demand for copper, a key metal used in the production of electric vehicles, Antofagasta chairman Jean-Paul Luksic said on Wednesday.
SANTIAGO, April 12 The global copper industry will be rocked by more disruptions this year than in 2018, contributing to a supply deficit as demand for the red metal continues to grow, the top executive of Chilean miner Antofagasta told Reuters.
SANTIAGO, April 9 Chilean miner Antofagasta Plc will retain its dividend policy of paying out at least 35 percent of underlying net earnings but will pay out excess funds from the proceeds of sales to shareholders, its chief executive said.
SANTIAGO, March 22 Chile's Antofagasta expects to reach an agreement with miner BHP to help ensure water supply at its Zalidvar copper mine in the country's northern desert, a company official told a Chilean newspaper on Friday.
March 19 Chilean miner Antofagasta expects a deficit of between 100,000 and 300,000 tonnes in the global copper market in 2019, its chief executive Iván Arriagada said on Tuesday.
March 19 Chilean copper miner Antofagasta Plc posted a 13.9 percent drop in annual core earnings on Tuesday, hurt by higher input costs and lower sales volumes, but declared a higher-than-expected dividend payout.
SANTIAGO, Jan 27 Chilean copper miner Antofagasta Plc is evaluating building a new concentrator plant at its Centinela mine that would cost around $3 billion, the chief executive of the company was quoted telling a local daily on Sunday.
Chilean copper miner Antofagasta Plc ended the year with annual output at the higher end of its forecast, boosted by record fourth-quarter production as well as better grades and output at its Centinela mine.
WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Poland's finance minister said Monday she is aiming to keep the country's budget deficit within European Union rules even after a series of pre-election spending pledges to help families, young people and pensioners.
Teresa Czerwinska said she is hopeful that Poland's budget deficit will be below 3 percent of the country's annual GDP, as required by EU law. She rejected speculation that she offered her resignation over the increased spending.
At the same time, the government says it has no money to grant teachers' demand for a 1,000 zlotys ($262) monthly raise. Talks were being held Monday to avert a nationwide strike planned by teachers' unions next month, though hopes for a deal were low.
The most important decision you are going to make in the next few years is your choice of friends.
