multivitamins for cockfighting

As 2024 winds down, I checked records to check the last time common Nigerians celebrated Christmas and New Year with desired joy, jubilation and happiness. For over two decades, the story had been of hoping that the incoming year would be better. Yet the succeeding year was always worse than the preceding one. We are on the same trend today. The year 2024 is ending not only on a bad but also on a deadly note. Friendly palliative gatherings became deadly palliative assemblies. Calling to question the policies that made palliative an option in caregiving. Pervasive poverty and hunger have turned hitherto decent communities in Nigeria into beggars’ enclaves. This year started on a bad note with high interest rates from the carryover policy of the Central Bank of Nigeria’s Monetary Policy Committee, rising domestic prices or inflation partly as a result of rising energy prices generally and fuel prices in particular, coupled with massive depreciation of the naira, which turned out to be deliberate devaluation to keep the exchange rate at over N1,500 per US dollar! The aim was to make the monetisation of the oil money look huge and federal allocations to the three tiers of government bigger than they used to be. These policies were inimical to economic growth and the development or survival of businesses and human existence. These negative factors or policies that fuelled the deepening hardship being witnessed throughout 2024 started early, even from 2023 and with progressive intensity. Many medium and small businesses went under, and large businesses had to scale down production because of the high cost of production and declining consumer spending. Loss of jobs for many hitherto employed became a common phenomenon with loss of income for households and extended families, as well as loss of revenue to the government in terms of taxes. The expectations that all the presidential travels in search of foreign investments would start yielding fruits came to zero as some existing foreign businesses were leaving due to a bad policy mix. Foreign investors will prefer to invest in an economy with 50 million high- or middle-income citizens who can buy their products than a country of 200 million with two-thirds of the low-income or poverty-stricken citizens. The majority of such country’s citizens would not be able to buy the products despite the low unit cost of production. Foreign businessmen and women will prefer to invest in a country with stable or low inflation that assures them of moderate cost of production to make their outputs and products competitive in prices such that imported commodities of the same nature would not be cheaper and preferred by citizens. Foreign investors would prefer countries with strong and stable domestic currencies such that when they feel they have made huge profits, the exchange rate would not, at the repatriation stage, turn it into a massive loss. One wonders how much brainstorming goes into Nigeria’s policy initiatives, implementation and evaluation. More appropriately, with the doggedness with which our government stuck to its policies once it is introduced, we may ask if there are alternative policies or Plan B to every policy made, such that a fall-back position is created when policy outcomes are not producing the expected feedback. The economy is swimming in huge local and foreign debts and requiring humongous debt servicing which deprives the economy of funds for development, more so when the borrowed funds were hardly used for projects that could yield return and payback. Nigeria’s government now spends over 65 per cent of its revenue on servicing debts. Sometimes citizens are made to believe that there is nothing bad in borrowing. In addition, they claim that the United States is the biggest debtor in the world. They even go as far as saying that the US owes China humongous debt. All those statements are half-truths. Related News Justice ministry to renovate buildings with N2bn in 2025 Afenifere leader hopeful of better life in 2025 FG spends N8.73bn on airport power infrastructure in 2024 —Report If the government borrows too much from the domestic market, it deprives the private sector of the opportunity to borrow money for investments, even cheaply. In competition for funds or loans from the financial market between the public and private sectors, the lenders will give preference to the public because a government exists forever while businesses can go bankrupt. Also, it is the government that will be able to pay the high interest rates that the banks will demand in the face of high demand for loans. This is what is referred to as ‘crowding out effects’. Unfortunately, the public sector is unlikely to put the funds into efficient use that the private sector would. Part of the loans will be spent on consumption, part stolen and part mismanaged or expended on over-invoice projects. The same thing would likely happen to foreign loans. On the issue of the United States and the rest of us, it is fallacious to deride America with its debt. Virtually every country is working for the US as we all want to have our reserves in dollars, thus making us indebted to the country. When a country borrows from the World Bank or IMF, the currency in the dollar, the US currency which makes such debtor indebted to America! If the US owes a country, it can easily print dollars, its currency (it does not need to do that anyway), to offset the debt whereas other countries will have to work to earn dollars to pay off their debts. More importantly, the US has enough assets over and above its debt value. Until another global currency emerges and the US is borrowing and paying back in that currency, we are not on the same level. So, don’t be deceived by the statement on the US indebtedness. The important thing to note is that no highly indebted country can develop until it has been able to reduce the debt to below 20 per cent of revenue and less than 40 per cent of GDP. Our condition in this respect is precarious. Yet, the 2025 budget is largely dependent on fresh loans! Debt, particularly foreign debt, is like opium that countries get addicted to and require rehabilitation to get over it. Nigeria is already hooked! The year 2024 witnessed the actual rebirth in the oil sector with production output from the Dangote refinery and for the first time in decades, one of Nigeria’s nearly forgotten local refineries, the Port Harcourt refinery, came alive with production to compete with Dangote’s business. It is a good sign of possible good things to come. But with the pre-determined or manipulated price far above production cost, the citizens may not reap the benefits. The Nigerian factor from the government and the business community will not make the benefits of the fuel sector trickle down. For instance, the manipulated price was, by some agreement and as announced, brought down below N1,000 per litre at pump price but the prices at the fuel stations, including NNPC outlets remained above N1,000 for one week thereafter. What a country! The outgoing year sees some fight against corruption outside the political circle. Two major events are quite recent and have to do with the Abuja duplexes pinned to an ex-CBN governor but are yet to be confirmed officially beyond the confiscation of the property. The arrests of foreigners and Nigerians involved in cybercrime activities, are still in Abuja. The issues of ex-governors and now legislators, the former accountant-general, and other people at the corridor of power whose files have been with the Economic Financial Crime Commission over the years are being deliberately and gradually forgotten. The high cost of education at all levels is causing another dimension in the drop-out saga and rising number of ‘Yahoo boys’ and Association of Yahoo mothers; the rising cost of Medicare that is returning people to the elewe omo (traditional medicine) with attendant high mortality rates among pregnant women and children; the absence of clear cut policy on agriculture, particularly ranching that is sustaining farmers-herders clash and food insecurity; the government’s principal officers and hangers-on arrogance and carefree attitude about the precarious living conditions of ordinary Nigerians; and other glaring nefarious activities of the political class are a carryover from 2024 to 2025. Such situations are indicative that those who survive 2025 will only thank God that they did not live good lives in the year. I wish the government could disappoint me.Rwanda launches agriculture strategy to build resilient, sustainable agri-food systemsmultivitamins for cockfighting 。

Granite Point Mortgage Trust Inc. (NYSE:GPMT) Plans Quarterly Dividend of $0.05Te Marae Ora (TMO) Ministry of Health was proud to host a prestigious graduation ceremony a week ago, celebrating the achievements of their dedicated health professionals. The graduation marked the culmination of their recent investment in educating and developing the healthcare workforce, aimed at improving the quality of health services provided to the community through Te Marae Ora. On Friday, December 6, 2024, the graduates, families and invited guests including Prime Minister Mark Brown and King’s Representative Sir Tom Marsters, attended the event at Te Are Karioi Nui (National Auditorium) Dome. The first cohort of 12 Bachelor of Nursing students at Whitireia Community Polytechnic was named in honour of Dr Neti Tamarua. The retired nursing doctor has dedicated her life to the public health sector in the Cook Islands, Aotearoa, Australia and Fiji, with a special focus on the well-being of young people. Dr Tamarua has been an advocate for Cook Islands nurses to go further in their studies with the end goal of returning home to be the next generation of highly skilled healthcare professionals. Rosa Tavai Bob, who graduated with a Postgraduate Diploma in Midwifery, says the graduation day marked the end of an “incredible” 10-month journey. “I’m filled with immense gratitude and pride as I reflect on the path that led me to this milestone,” shares Bob. “First and foremost, I give all glory to God for being the Head of my life, guiding me through every challenge and blessing me with the strength to persevere. Without His grace, this achievement would not have been possible.” Bob acknowledged her supportive family: parents, siblings, and their families, for their encouragement and love. She also thanked her many friends for their words of affirmation and constant check-ins, which kept her motivated along the way. “A very special acknowledgment goes to my incredible partner, John P Tuara. You have truly been the backbone of our family and my biggest supporter throughout this journey. You’ve carried the weight of our responsibilities at home with so much grace, ensuring that our children felt loved and cared for even when I wasn’t around. Your patience, understanding, and constant encouragement have been my source of strength. I couldn’t have done this without you. This achievement is as much yours as it is mine.” Bob dedicated her achievement to her children, Rupe Rima, Te-Ata Rima, and Eva-Grace Tuara. “This award is for my children. Everything I do is for them to show them that hard work and perseverance can help them achieve their dreams. They are my greatest inspiration.” Bob was also honoured to share her journey with a great team of colleagues. “This is not just my success but ours, and I carry your love and support with me as I move forward. Here’s to the future and all the lives we will touch as midwives, and to more studies and grey hairs...” She extended her heartfelt thanks to Te Marae Ora, the Fiji National University, the dedicated lecturers, clinical preceptors, and the amazing midwives – “you all played a vital role in shaping our journey. Your support, patience, and wisdom have left a lasting impact on me.” Bachelor of Nursing graduate Elizabeth Kaiou felt “overwhelmed” on graduation day. “Graduating, rewarded the three years of my journey, with one of those years in New Zealand alongside my cohort,” says Kaiou. “It’s been a path filled with endless coffees, long days and nights, growth, and unforgettable experiences. The support and encouragement from my family carried me through the challenges. “Being one of the pioneers of the programme made it even more special, knowing that my success was part of something bigger.” Minister for Health Vainetutai Rose Toki-Brown was “privileged and honoured” with the accomplishments of the graduates. “As we are faced with the global shortage of health workforce, growing our health workforce is critical.” Toki-Brown applauded the initiative taken by Te Marae Ora in partnership with Whitireia and USP Cook Islands, the Fiji National University, as well as universities in New Zealand for the flexibility in distance learning and in-country face-to-face teaching. Speaking to the graduates, Toki-Brown said: “Undertaking most of your study in-country with final weeks or a year outside your workplace is a model that we embrace.: Given the lessons learnt from Covid-19, the increasing risks and threats of climate change and the recent mpox outbreak in Africa, the current whooping cough outbreaks declared in New Zealand and Samoa, the ongoing education and training of our health workforce remains critical. She reiterated the words of World Health Organisation regional director Dr Saia Ma’u Piukala, who stated: “Let’s train people well so they can leave, but we must treat them well so they will not leave”. Toki-Brown added: “As your minister, I say, we have trained you well so you can serve our people, and we will treat you well that you will never think of leaving.” On Friday evening, Te Marae Ora hosted a dinner reception at The Edgewater Resort to honour their long-serving staff.

First Farmers Financial Co. (OTCMKTS:FFMR) to Issue Dividend Increase – $0.49 Per ShareNiantic, the company behind the wildly popular Pokémon Go, revolutionized the gaming world when it launched the augmented-reality app in July 2016. By 2019, the app had made its way onto over a billion smartphones globally, captivating players with its unique blend of physical exploration and virtual hunting. For those unfamiliar, Pokémon Go requires players to venture into the real world to capture Pokémon, battle other players, and interact with virtual locations placed throughout their communities. One of the key strategies behind Pokémon Go’s success is Niantic’s ability to engage players in exploring lesser-known areas of their towns and cities. By strategically positioning PokéStops and Gyms, the company has enhanced the gaming experience and gathered a wealth of geographical data—much of which is even more detailed than what Google offers with its street view. AI navigation system Niantic has developed a robust infrastructure for mapping physical spaces using its players as “human cameras.” Over the past five years, the company has focused on its Visual Positioning System (VPS), which utilizes images captured by users’ smartphones to pinpoint locations and orientation. With contributions from players, Niantic has built a 3D map of interesting sites, accumulating in-depth scans of over 10 million locations worldwide. Impressively, users contribute approximately one million new scans each week. The technology works by analyzing the visual patterns inherent in the scanned locations. For example, the local model may only recognize the front entrance if a user stands behind a church. However, by leveraging an extensive global database of similar buildings, Niantic can give the user a broader understanding of their surroundings. This eliminates confusion and provides players with a more immersive and accurate experience. What sets Niantic apart is its ambitious use of advanced neural networks. The company claims to have trained over 50 million neural networks, each designed to represent a specific space or perspective. These networks process thousands of images, compiling them into detailed digital recreations of actual locations. These networks incorporate over 150 trillion adjustable parameters, enabling them to recognize and interpret spaces accurately. Pokémon Go The potential applications of this vast pool of geographic data extend well beyond gaming. Niantic envisions using its technology to enhance augmented reality (AR) experiences, develop autonomous systems, and improve navigation tools. Their past initiatives have utilized player data to analyze foot traffic patterns and determine optimal walking routes, laying the groundwork for future innovations. Moreover, Niantic has recently expanded its horizons by partnering with other technology firms. For example, they collaborated with Microsoft to enhance AR capabilities via the Azure cloud platform, demonstrating the growing influence of AR in numerous sectors, including retail and education. As Niantic continues to evolve, the company’s ambition to create a comprehensive model that understands any location—from familiar streets to obscure corners—could lead to groundbreaking advancements in how we interact with the real world through digital games and applications. Amid rapid technological advancement in AR, Niantic remains at the forefront, with the potential to reshape how users navigate physical spaces and engage in immersive experiences. With ongoing contributions from the global player community, Niantic seems poised to stay a significant player in AR for years, redefining how we perceive and interact with our surroundings.Nagpur: A staggering 1,03,000 undergraduate and postgraduate degrees , diplomas, and PhDs will be awarded during the 112th convocation ceremony of Nagpur University on Monday.

Are Americans hopeful — or discouraged — heading into new year? What a new poll foundTim Cook, CEO of Apple, walks on the grid after Formula 1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2024 (Photo by Beata ... [+] Zawrzel/NurPhoto via Getty Images) As 2024 comes to an end, Apple’s popular iPhone SE will be withdrawn from key markets in Europe. Yet fans of the mid-range iOS smartphone know that the New Year will bring them something special... replacement iPhone SE that will be better than it was; better, stronger, and faster. Apple was always going to replace the iPhone SE when the newer model arrived. No doubt Tim Cook and his team would have preferred to keep 2022’s iPhone SE on sale for another four or five months until the 2025 version arrived. Alas, the European Union’s mandate for USB-C to be the universal charging port on consumer electronics has put paid to that. Apple's Beloved iPhone SE 2022’s iPhone SE, as well as the iPhone 14 family, launched that same year, are Apple’s oldest current iPhone handsets on sale. They are also the last iPhones to ship with the lightning port for charging. While existing retail supplies can be sold, Apple will stop shipments by December 31 2024 to comply with the regulation that comes into effect on January 1 2025. Since it was launched , the iPhone SE has been rated highly in consumer satisfaction surveys, although this year saw Samsung’s Galaxy hardware match Apple’s iPhone hardware . When the next iPhone SE arrives, Apple will hope that the new smartphone will continue to score highly with consumers. Given the features we can expect, that shouldn’t be too much of an ask. A Stronger iPhone SE The current iPhone SE was launched in 2022 and is powered by Apple’s A15 Bionic. At the time, this matched the current iPhone 13 model and allowed the SE to be pitched as an equal to the vanilla iPhone range. The main iPhone line has been updated annually, but the iPhone SE still ships with a chip approaching three years old. Microsoft Warns 400 Million Windows Users—Do Not Update Your PC ‘Black Doves’ Dethroned In Netflix’s Top 10 List By A New Show Google’s Security Nightmare—Just 14 Days To Change Your Phone With Apple relying on Apple Intelligence in its marketing campaign it would be inconceivable that the iPhone SE would launch without support for iOS’ generative AI suite. That will require the latest A18 processor in the specifications, returning the SE brand to equality with the main line. A Faster iPhone SE Alongside the improved chipset to cope with the demands of generative AI, Apple will need to boost the memory of the iPhone SE. The iPhone 16 saw a higher-than-expected increase in memory when it was launched in September 2024. While this benefited Apple Intelligence, it also improved the full iOS environment, bringing faster switching between apps and more working memory for apps to address. The user experience of the next iPhone SE will include this speed increase. A Better iPhone SE Speaking to Forbes’ contributor David Phelan , Cook is confident this current wave of AI-influenced iPhones—including the upcoming iPhone SE—have a huge potential to positively impact your life: "Artificial intelligence is a horizontal technology in that it will touch everything in your life over time. It will change everything. because it will be like having an assistant, to prepare things that it would have taken you longer to do, to free you up to spend more time, pulling that string of curiosity or creating or following your passion" That’s true from the nearly $2,000 iPhone 16 Pro Max to the mid-range iPhone SE. Apple has worked to keep the price of iPhones from rising between generations, which means Cook’s potential could be available for as little as $430. Get Ready For Your New iPhone SE While the current iPhone SE will leave the stage in two weeks’ time, Apple is expected to launch the iPhone SE in the first half of 2025, potentially as early as March but certainly in time for the company’s Worldwide Developer Conference in June.
