Arc 2: Murder Island
Chapter 21: Midnight

That severed finger wasn’t longer than a standard finger. It was thrown ahead by Jiang Yunhuo into the darkness, but you could still see its appearance under the dim lighting from the yard.

It looked like a finger sticking out of the ground.

When Su Min said that, Jiang Yunhuo was even more afraid.

He had thought it was just internal organs that were thrown out, but he didn’t expect to see something like this. How did this happen whilst he was just killing off a fish?

Jiang Yunhuo asked: “Is that an animal finger?”

Because it was already rotten, you could see its tendons and joints. Jiang Yunhuo wasn’t certain what it was. After all, they weren’t medical students.

Su Min shook his head: “I don’t think it is.”

Jiang Yunhuo’s face turned even more terrible. He thought of something and whispered: “Is it a human-eating fish?”

Human-eating fish do exist, so he felt a little suspicious.

Su Min touched the severed finger with a stick and his heart gradually sank: “I was wrong earlier. This is indeed an animal’s finger.”

Under animal classifications, humans are also animals.

Jiang Yunhuo thought that he was referring to real animals. He breathed a sigh of relief and threw away the fish, “I’m not cleaning it anymore. I’ve lost my appetite.”

Su Min thought for a moment, “Wait. Kill the rest of the fish too.”

Although he didn’t know what his intentions were, Jiang Yunhuo did as he was told. He dug out the rest of the fish in the bucket.

Only the first one had something in its stomach. The rest of them were normal fish.

But this didn’t make Su Min relax.

Was “Murder Island” referring to these man-eating fish? It does sound plausible. So, the fish is the dangerous entity here?

Then this would be like those gruesome horror movies from foreign countries. He didn’t like those types of movies very much and these types of movies weren’t popular in his country.

If it really has something to do with the man-eating fish, then the sea was too calm when they came over by boat.

Su Min wasn’t certain whether this horror movie was about man-eating fish.

This was just beginning of the horror movie.

They stood on the side discussing with each other. Chen Xingzhuo and the others also noticed that something wasn’t right. They came over and asked: “What’s wrong?”

Su Min pointed at the thing on the ground.

Zhao Mingya immediately covered her mouth: “What is this?”

Although it was dark, they could still see the bloody severed finger on the ground. No matter how she looked at it, it looked like a human finger………

Jiang Yunhuo rubbed his eyes and said with a sigh: “This is something that I just cut out from the fish’s belly.”

Chen Yixing was afraid: “What’s going on?”

Chen Xingzhou frowned: “I’ll give Uncle He a call. This is a fish he gave us. He should know something.”

Su Min stopped him: “Don’t ask.”

This island isn’t an ordinary island and they didn’t know whether the islanders were good or bad. It is best to act like you don’t know anything.

He had a bad feeling about Uncle He.

Chen Xingzhou looked at him and finally lowered his phone: “Fine, I won’t ask. What should we do about this?”

“Leave it aside first.” Su Min said. “The other fish are clean. Are you guys still going to roast it?”

Zhao Mingya and Chen Yixin shook their heads.

What a joke. There’s a finger in the fish’s stomach which look likely to be a human finger. How could they still dare to eat it?

And this incident would surely leave a small shadow in their hearts.

After that incident, they no longer had any interest in eating. As for the fish, no one dared to touch it.

They cooked up the vegetables and then ate some of their snacks to fill their stomachs.

Chen Xingzhou was a little frustrated, “Do you think we were thinking too much? When I looked up this island, everything was normal. There weren’t any news about man-eating fish.”

Please support the translator and read this from

If there was such news, he wouldn’t have come.

Jiang Yunhuo guessed: “Maybe the islanders here all eat the man-eating fish. I respect them for their bravery.”

Su Min thought more deeply. Did this fish eat a living person or a dead person? He wasn’t sure. All he knew was that this island was very dangerous.

Chen Xingzhou pulled out his phone again: “I’ll get them to pick us up tomorrow. Let’s not stay here any longer.”

Su Min didn’t stop him. If they could leave, it would be the best option.

It’s just that things aren’t so simple.

Chen Xingzhou said that he wanted to return tomorrow and started to argue with the other party: “I can’t even pay you more? What do you mean money is out of the question……..I need to wait that long?”

After a full minute, he hung up.

Su Min could guess what had happened just looking at his expression: “The other party said that we need to wait a few more days before they can pick us up?”

Chen Xinzhou nodded: “He said the boat was already rented out and we need to wait until the other person returns it first.”

So even if you have money, it’s useless.

Su Min expected this outcome, “If that’s the case, lets go take a rest. We can figure out what to do tomorrow.”

Chen Xingzhou nodded. That was all that they could do now.

Despite originally booking three rooms, they decided to use two rooms tonight.

Zhao Mingya and Chen Yixin shared a room, and the three men slept next door. If anything happened, they just needed to shout.

Su Min pointed out the location of the bathroom and warned them: “It’s over there. Uncle He showed me where it was earlier. I don’t recommend going.”

Several went to look and returned scared.

How is that a bathroom? It was more like a haunted house. The words on the door looked like it was written in blood. No one dared to go in.

Chen Yixin spoke timidly: “I…..I guess I won’t wash up.”

Although she couldn’t stand not washing up, if you asked her to go shower in a bathroom like that in the middle of the night, she would probably lose half her life before she’s even done.

Zhou Mingya also said: “Forget it, let’s just boil some water.”

We’ll wait until tomorrow and see.

Chen Xingzhou said: “I’ll boil some water for you and we’ll just have to endure it for the night. Tomorrow I’ll go and see if the bathroom is okay.”

Zhao Mingya nodded.

They still had water here. Using the water pipe, they filled up a few buckets. By the time they were boiled, it was already late at night, and the moon was right above them.

The two girls naturally used it first.

When the new batch of water was boiled, Chen Xinzhou and Jiang Yunhuo washed up in the room. Su Min on the other hand stood in the hallway.

Their surroundings were empty. It was as if they could be eaten by the darkness.

The strange looks from those men earlier was still vivid in his mind. Su Min return to the room and washed up using the water before lying down in the bed.

There was originally only one bed but Chen Xingzhou and Jang Yunhuo had moved a bed over too so they didn’t need to squeeze into one bed.

The three of them laid in their beds.

Jiang Yunhuo was aggrieved: “I only ate a bag of potato chips tonight.”

He would usually down two bowls of rice and add onto that various delicious snacks. With how things are going tonight, he would definitely lose weight.

Su Min asked: “Do you want to eat fish?”

Jiang Yunhuo: “………..”

Please support the translator and read this from

Chen Xingzhou had a serious expression. The response from the boat charterer wasn’t good and they had to stay here for a few more days. He didn’t know what was going to happen later.

The fish could eat humans. What else can’t happen?

Su Min was very calm. He once again reassured him: “You should just sleep. We can go find something to eat tomorrow.”

Chen Xingzhou nodded: “Okay.”

After traveling on a boat for several hours and walking up a mountain, he was indeed exhausted. Very soon, he fell asleep.

Late at night, Su Min was awakened by the cinema’s prompt.

【Audience Member Su Min, congratulations for successfully changing your script. Please keep up your good work. As a reward for your achievement, you will receive keyword hints. The first hint: Bedroom.】

Su Min immediately woke up.

The hint the cinema gave him was too shocking. The place they were staying at currently was the bedroom.

He still remembered that the first hint that he received in “University Thriller” was the bathroom and Liu Lili soon died in a bathroom.

Does this hint mean that someone will die in the bedroom?

Su Min no longer had the urge to sleep. He perked up his ears and listened carefully. Both Chen Xingzhou and Jiang Yunhou’s breathing came one after another. They were still well and truly alive.

As for Zhao Mingya and Chen Yixi, he wasn’t sure.

He had only just arrived here and things were still confusing, especially the man-eating fish. The storyline was more meticulous and nerve wracking than “University Thriller.”

Su Min still remembered the blind granny.

When there is such an existence in a horror movie, they must know something. Tomorrow he would go and find that granny and see if he could find out something from her.

At this moment, rapid knocking on the door was heard.

Su Min’s heart jumped. He instantly imagined all kinds of horror movie scenarios including what had happened before in the bathroom.

It was just too shocking.

Su Min didn’t dare open the door. He heard that the sound didn’t stop and hesitated over what he should do.

The knocking on the door suddenly stopped.

This change allowed Su Min to breathe a sigh of relief. Before he could close his eyes and sleep again, the dull knocking sound started again.

The sound was very urgent and in the middle of the night it was even more terrifying.

Su Min thought of the hint “bedroom” and had a new though process. Could it be that the moment he opened the door, the three of them would be instantly killed?

He looked at Chen Xingzhou who didn’t budge and internally thought that, as a movie protagonist, he shouldn’t be encountering an accident so easily.

Su Min carefully got off the bed and nudged awake Jiang Yunhuo and Chen Xingzhou.

Jiang Yunhuo was a little annoyed to be woken up. When he was getting ready to curse at them, Su Min covered his mouth: “Be quiet.”

Chen Xingzhou also woke up in confusion.

Just as the two were still confused, the knocking sounds started again. This time the three of them heard it clearly.

Chen Xingzhou was silent for a while. He then asked: “Who’s knocking?”

Su Min shook his head: “I don’t know.”

Jiang Yunhuo trembled. He said in a small voice: “Is it Zhao Mingya and them? They’re afraid at night so they came to find us?”

They didn’t know if this guess was correct.

Chen Xingzhou didn’t dare go out alone: “I’ll call and ask.”

Before sleeping, he had advised them to keep their phones on and to keep it on vibrate.

He called Zhao Mingya. After about ten seconds, the other party connected the call. Chen Xingzhou asked directly: “Are you both in the bedroom?”

Zhao Mingya looked at Chen Yixin next to her and asked with confusion: “Yeah. Yixin is asleep. What’s wrong?”

Before Chen Xingzhou could answer, she heard the knock.

Zhao Mingya’s heart fell. All kinds of terrible thoughts came to mind. “What………”

Chen Xingzhou also heard it: “You also have that noise on your side?”

Zhao Mingya no longer cared about the fact that they were in a cold war. She asked: “What on earth is going on? You’re not the one knocking?”

Chen Xingzhou said: “No, we thought you were knocking on our door.”

Zhao Mingya was afraid: “No. Yixin and I were sleeping.”

The safest guess was wrong. Both sides thought that the other party was knocking on the door when in fact they were each in their own rooms. It wasn’t the workings of any of them.

A question appeared in all five peoples mind.

———If it’s not them, then who’s knocking on the door?

The atmosphere suddenly turned tense. Jiang Yunhuo was both angry and scared. After enduring for a long time, he said: “Let open the door and see who it is. You guys guard me from behind.”

Chen Xingzhou held him back: “What if there’s something?”

Jiang Yunhuo: “……….I’ll peek through the crack first. If something isn’t right, I’ll close the door. There are three of us here.”

The thought itself was good but the situation before them wasn’t looking too optimistic.

Su Min listened carefully to the knocking that stopped and started. He slowly moved closer to the source of the sound and noticed that something wasn’t right.

It didn’t’ seem to be the sound of someone knocking on the door.

Su Min planted his ear against the wall and confirmed that the sound came from inside the wall.

There’s someone inside that’s knocking on the wall?

Wall: I’m about to collapse. Hurry and escape!!

    I am so happy I read the previous chapters before this. I am loving this! ❤v❤ when I read about the knocking, first thing that came in my head was “ML, is it you?” But then I realized, if he is a vengeful ghost everytime, and considering his shamelessness, he would already have tried to eat as much tofu as he can.

Knife repair - chips, tips and bends

We are masters at knife repair. Minor repairs are free as part of our service. Larger repairs cost up to $10 per knife (see details below). We specialize in bringing knives back to life after years of continued use.

To get your knives repaired order a sharpening envelope now.

The main benefits of knife repair are:

  • Cheaper - a fully usable knife for a fraction of the cost of a new knife.
  • Less waste - a recycled knife rather than a knife in a landfill.
  • Safer - a recreated tip is much safer than a broken-off tip.
  • More fun - a smooth edge without bends or chips, which is safer and more fun to use.

Chip repair

Knife chip repairChips in a blade vary vastly and can e.g. for example, be caused by cutting into something hard or when the blade is mistreated. Chip repair is often necessary for knives with higher carbon steel or ceramic knives. A knife may be manufactured from varying qualities of steel. If the blade chips, the only way to repair the blade is to reduce the height of the blade and create a new edge.

Broken Tips

We can create a new tip for your blade. When we recreate the point of the knife we will have to grind down metal from the existing blade to form a new tip.The new point will begin where the old tip broke off. That means your knife will always be slightly shorter than before the tip was broken off. We will choose the repair that is most suitable for your knife. If you have a preferred way of repair, please get in touch.

Generally, a new tip can be created in two ways:

Knife tip repair

For most tip repairs we create a new tip by changing the curvature of the top edge of your blade. The end of the top edge will bend down to create a new point and more of the original edge of the blade remains.

Alternatively we will keep the upper edge of the blade intact and recreate the curvature and ‘belly’ of the blade on the remaining length of metal. Your knife will basically look like a slightly shrunk version of the original.

Bent blades and tips

Bent blades and tips can also be repaired in some cases. If the tip of the blade is extremely bent, we might have to cut a new tip (see 'Broken tips' above). Highly flexible knives such as fillet knives are impossible to straighten (see what we do not repair below), but many knives will become true again. Strongly bent blades might never fully go back to being 100% straight, but they will be fully usable again. The repair of bent knives might result in slight hammer marks on the blade. Small bends in the tip or blade will be repaired for free.

Bent and twisted edges

We frequently receive knives that have been misused. These knives have bent or twisted segments in the cutting edge of the blade that render them useless. These twists can be ground down to create a new straight edge again. The process of this repair is similar to a chip repair, but it is more difficult to know exactly how much metal needs to be removed until only the straight true blade remains. As with chip repairs the blade will be reduced in height as a result of the repair (see chip repair above).

To make our service easy we do not charge for knife repair upfront. If you send us damaged knives our knife smiths will assess the damage and we will contact you prior to any repair. Most minor repairs are included in the sharpening service and we do not charge for them.

More time consuming repairs are charged per blade; ie a knife that has a broken tip and chips will only be charged as one repair. If you decline having your knife repaired, we can either return it unsharpened with a refund for the sharpening charge or sharpen the knife as is. 99% of repairs are charged at $5 per blade. Extreme cases cost up to $10.

What we do not fix

  • Knife handles, we specialize in knife sharpening and blade repair only.
  • Bends in highly flexible blades such as filet knives or slicers.
  • Twisted blades, where the twist is along the vertical axis of the blade.
  • Scissor repair - bigger chips in the blade or misalignment of the blades.

$12.71 / knife

Yellowstone National Park recorded the second busiest August on record, according to a news release Thursday.

The park hosted 881,543 visitors in August, up 7.5% from 820,006 in August 2019.

The reason for the high number, especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, is unknown.

Park spokesman Ashton Hooker said in an email, "It's tough to say what has caused these August visitation numbers, as we don't normally track this kind of data (and we don't want to speculate)."

This August came in second to August 2017, the month of the solar eclipse, when 916,166 visited the park.

Overall, visitation has been down this year.

So far in 2020, the park has hosted 2,546,373 recreation visits through August since opening, down 18% from the same period last year.

Yellowstone closed on March 24.

The two Wyoming entrances opened on May 18, and the three Montana entrances opened on June 1.

This list below shows the year-to-date trend for recreation visits over recent years:

  • 2020 – 2,546,373.
  • 2019 – 3,114,697.
  • 2018 – 3,136,241.
  • 2017 – 3,232,707.
  • 2016 – 3,269,024.
  • 2015 – 3,133,965.

The park urges visitors to recreate responsibly to reduce the spread of COVID-19.

If you are sick, do not visit the park. Self-quarantine to avoid exposing others.

Services are limited in the park. Stay informed about changes to park operations.

Download Yellowstone's App, and visit the park's website. To reduce wait times at park entrances, buy a pass online ahead of time.

More data on park visitation, including how we calculate these numbers, is available on the NPS Stats website.

Although applied ethics came to be recognized as a philosophical discipline in its own right in the 1970s, Croatian philosophers have not shown much interest in its problems. The present book is the first substantial contribution to applied ethics by a Croatian philosopher and in the Croatian language. The essays comprising Part One address some moral questions posed by political violence, war, and terrorism. Those making up Part Two investigate the moral pros and cons of patriotism as a stance different from, albeit related to, that of nationalism. Part Three consists of essays on some topical questions in sexual ethics, such as sexual perversion, prostitution, and the discrimination of homosexuals.

DaBaby Slammed for Kicking Baby Mama DaniLeigh Out of Condo

BET Awards 2021 - Arrivals

Photo: Getty Images

DaBaby is once again being slammed online but this time it's because of a viral argument he had with his baby mama DaniLeigh.

The rapper and DaniLeigh went IG live to share their side of a pretty nasty argument all in front of their newborn daughter. Dani, claimed he was kicking her and the baby out with nowhere to go.

The next morning DaBaby tried to address the situation again, but in my opinion made it worse when he referred to Dani as a "side b****."

Seems like the two aren't a good match, hopefully they figure it out and put the drama aside to raise their daughter.

TORONTO (November 1, 2010) – Philadelphia Flyers forward Daniel Briere has been suspended for three games and will forfeit $237,804.87 for cross checking New York Islanders player Frans Nielsen during NHL game #146 on October 30.

The incident occurred at 19:00 of the third period and Briere was assessed a major penalty for cross checking and a game misconduct.

Briere, who was suspended for two games on November 23, 2009, is considered a repeat offender under the terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.  Accordingly, he forfeits his salary based on the number of games in the season (82), rather than the number of days (186). The money goes to the Players’ Emergency Assistance Fund.

Briere will miss the Flyers’ next three games—tonight against Carolina, Thursday against the New York Rangers and Saturday at the New York Islanders. He is eligible to return Nov. 7 when the Flyers visit the Washington Capitals.

Maybe it’s because I’m short myself and frequently have bigger people try to intimidate me on the ice, but I kind of liked Briere’s response. What else is he going to do? Nielsen looks a foot taller than him.  Now, in the grand scheme of stick work to the head this was pretty minor, but I know if it had been Zetterberg or Datsyuk getting clipped I’d be pissed.  I understand the outrage, but part of me still likes seeing him going for the throat, so to speak.  Maybe I’m just a jerk, but I know the burning rage of being discounted because of my size.

Cheap Candle For Sale – Useful Tips

When you want to buy a cheap candle for sale, you must know how it will be used, what it is made of, and how much of the flame will be emitted. A candle is a beautiful and useful item, but only if it is used properly. It is also important to consider how a candle is made to ensure the safety of the candle buyers.

The wax that is used in most candles is soybean wax or tallow. This is a cheap wax, which can be purchased for a bargain price from most craft retailers, or even online. The wick that holds the candle flame, called taper, is a flexible piece of string, or sometimes just a fiber optic wire, that is wrapped around a few hairs that are either prepared from animal hair or, if the retailer is interested in using materials not native to his or her area, from an animal or plant hair. When you buy these wicks from a craft retailer, make sure to inspect them carefully so that you will know they were made from a clean source.

These wicks are often covered with a protective plastic sheet to prevent wax from dripping on the floor. However, some candles still use a wick. Candle wicks come in many shapes and sizes, including hexagonal, octagonal, circular, and square. Most candles that have a wick do not use paraffin wax. Candle wax, also called beeswax, has a very high melting point and therefore burns longer than ordinary wax.

To make a candle, three to five kilos of wicks are needed. Some candles, called taper candles, only need a single wick. Larger candles may require up to eight wicks. The wax that is used in candles is generally vegetable oil or paraffin wax. There are cheap candles for sale that are made from soy wax or plant wax.

In addition to being used as fuel for burning candles, wax is also often used as a form of art. Many craft stores sell candles that have been decorated with glitter or stained glass.

A cheap candle for sale can be made into many different designs, such as flowers, hearts, Christmas trees, or other decorative objects. Other candles can have a simple design or be patterned after religious figures such as the Virgin Mary, Jesus, or any other figure of your choosing. Decorating a candle with colored wax can add depth and color to the candle, which gives it a beautiful rainbow appearance.

Since cheap candles for sale can be found just about anywhere, they can easily be found online. Many people who are looking for an inexpensive candle prefer to shop online since there is no need to leave their homes to find what they want. However, shopping online does have some advantages.

First, if you are purchasing a candle that you cannot see in person, then you can’t smell it, touch it, or otherwise try to determine its quality before purchase. Second, if you find a candle for sale at a cheap price on the internet, but when you bring it home and try it out in the light of your light, you find that it does not work properly, then you can return it for a replacement.

The most effective method to Make Your Shop Decor Shout

Embellishing the dividers of your shop. The primary thing you have to assault is the dividers. An uncovered divider gives out one straightforward message…which is clear. Truth be told, without appropriate office or shop stylistic layout on the dividers, it makes the spot very unwelcoming and dull. Who do you think would stroll into a shop that has uncovered dividers that sings a uninviting melody? To tempt your clients to stroll into your shop and buy something from your shop, you’ll have to utilize the correct shading for the walls…some shade or shading that pulls in the correct clients. In the event that you need the dividers stylistic layout to give out a warm and inviting inclination, you can utilize a darker shade; then again, in the event that you need to cause your clients to feel glad to be in the shop, shading your dividers with a lighter shade. At that point utilize some sharp slatwall boards to improve and show your items.

Give your shop style an alive feel. Aside from designing the shop’s dividers, you’ll need to include plants into the shop stylistic layout too. Having two or three pruned plants will immediately give the spot an ‘alive’ feel and your staff and the individuals who stroll into your shop will feel less expelled from the outside world. Each sort of plant gives out various signs, so play with the kind of plants that you use to embellish your shop. On the off chance that it’s inside your spending plan, allot somebody to come into your shop to work out the stylistic theme and emphasize the position of the plants with lighting. Having plants as a component of your shop stylistic theme can be precarious, however on the grounds that plants require upkeep. In any case, you can employ individuals to deal with your plants for you or you could really ‘lease’ the plants for your office stylistic layout.

Try not to blend and match ideas and furniture in your shop. Keep up a predictable look all through your shop’s stylistic layout. It would give the clients a very blend and-match feel when they stroll into your shop when the furniture don’t coordinate. For example, you can’t improve your shop with an antique sort out with a cutting edge glancing couch in your shop. It would give the clients an extremely odd inclination. What you need to maintain a strategic distance from with your shop stylistic theme is to give it a ‘put together’ feel…you need it to yell, CLASS ACT rather than ‘a minute ago tossed in together’.

Clear the messiness. Also, obviously, similarly as any expert shop stylistic layout artiste or originator can let you know, mess is a flat out no-no. It’s been said previously so keep this unmistakable in your mind…a clear work area clears the head even before you plunk down and start your work. This rule applies to your shop style. Keep things that ought not be found in your shop concealed in a storeroom…for example, stuff that you don’t utilize frequently or items that you don’t mean to sell. Try not to leave boxes of items lying flung everywhere. Ask your staff to routinely check and revamp the items on the showcase regions, the work area, the slatwall show unit and obviously, the dividers. A few clients will in general get items and afterward leave them some place they don’t have a place. Your staff should make it a point to restore the thing back to where they have a place.

The Lautner House Torn Down to Expand a Lautner House

New, 32 comments

Images via Andrea Kreuzhage; many more here

Archinect tells the strange story of the Concannon Residence, which was designed in 1960 by the brilliant John Lautner and torn down in 2002 by one of Lautner's biggest fans. The house is perched above Benedict Canyon, right next door to the more well-known Lautner work, the Sheats-Goldstein House (tour it here). That house has been owned for decades by the Lakers-and-fashion-loving James Goldstein--he worked with Lautner himself, and later a Lautner colleague, on renovating the house and keeping it up, and he's guaranteed in his will that the house will never be sold. But next door, where the Concannon once stood, he's now putting in a new party/office/tennis court annex. According to Triangle Modernist Houses, Lautner remodeled the Concannon in the eighties and Goldstein bought the house n the nineties; he demolished it to "'perfect' the expansion of his other Lautner house next door." Filmmaker Andrea Kreuzhage rented the Concannon from Goldstein from 1995 to 2002 and she "redesigned and updated the bedroom and the kitchen." She also, very nicely, thoroughly documented the house during and after the work.

1900 and the genius called Tornatore

Watched Guiseppe Tornatore's "Legend of 1900" last night. One word: "stupefying". Tim Roth is engaging.  The story makes one laugh, then cry, as with his other films, "Cinema Paradiso" and "Malena". I think one vast difference between Hollywood trash and Italian/European films is that the latter takes you through the "real" life more than the "reel". The endings are often sad, and not the way most audiences fed on "they live happily ever after" endings will like it. But such is life, we don't often get what we want. We're torn with making choices, often making the wrong ones. But I digress.

Back to the movie, I somehow understand 1900's refusal to set foot on land, more solid it seems than the ocean. He says people on land perpetually chase the summer, looking forward to winter, then dreading it, chasing summer anew. At least on sea, one is always off to some place where it's summer. The story's premise, about a man born on a ship, and all though his life lived on the sea, never setting foot on dry land is magnificent and dumbfounding. In the scheme of everyday things, it makes you think that hey, this is just plain automatic for us landpeople to be accounted for once born in this world. 1900 is a person with a number for a name, no identity, non-existent, belonging to everywhere and nowhere, with no city nor province to call his own, and as far as the rest of the world is concerned, is a non-entity. I relate to it in a way that I sometimes find myself a nobody, removed from my family and relations, adrift in a sea of other nobodies. I also relate to the great friendship of roth & max(?); one can never really go through life without a great friend. At the end of the day, I fall back on one, two or three friends I've always known; they're my anchors even as an ocean of "so-called friends" have come and gone.

I used to call a former boss a cultural snob for foisting this love for Italian films on us underlings. I think I owe him a big apology. Constant exposure to a lot of other films outside of the Hollywood machine made me realize there's a big wide world out there that doesn't just inject, subliminal or otherwise, ideas of American superiority in their films. From Fellini to Tornatore, Kurosawa to Almodovar, the world isn't just about Hollywood.

A new city, the main legacy that the 2022 World Cup will leave for the people of Qatar

A new city, the main legacy that the 2022 World Cup will leave for the people of Qatar

The 2022 Qatar World Cup that will start exactly one year from now will leave a legacy.

Great sports feats? The rise of a new soccer hero? The indelible chapter of one of the great national team classics? It’s possible.

But I am referring to a certainty. So much so that it has an area of 35 square kilometers and is made of steel, cement and iron.

A city.

The north coast of Qatar, in the municipality of Al Daayen, it was practically a desert when the country was chosen by FIFA to host the 2022 World Cup.

Among the proposals that seduced the highest soccer entity back in 2010 was building a city from scratch, who was going to be called Lusail and it would house the stadium of the final.

More than a decade has passed since that time. And where there was nothing but sand, construction is now being completed on a 35-square-kilometer city where about 200,000 people are expected to live once the World Cup is over.

The epicenter of the new city, whose surface includes an area of islands, will effectively be the ‘Iconic Stadium of Lusail’, where 10 World Cup matches will be played, among them the final. With a capacity for 86,250 spectators, the venue is completely surrounded by water and can only be accessed by one of the six entrance bridges.

Qatar’s policy is to use sport as a letter of introduction to the West. The World Cup is his most ambitious bet. And within her, Lusail appears as the gem.

But we are talking about legacy, as I said at the beginning.

After the World Cup, Lusail will be home to at least 200 thousand people and it will become the first ‘entertainment city’ in the region: in addition to residential areas, with schools and health centers, it will allocate 180,000 square meters of its surface to offer leisure.

Theme parks, two golf courses, shopping centers, 12 five-star hotels, luxury stores and restaurants will be part of the combo.

Shep Hyken’s Column in Forbes features Office Optional

Centric 29 super resized

Going Remote: When The Office Is Optional—Or Even Obsolete

Sometime in March of this year, it seemed as if the entire world shifted to a remote workforce. This went beyond just support centers where, in the past few years, many agents have been able to assist customers from the comfort of their homes. This was much bigger. Almost every company on the planet sent its workforce home. The remote office was not optional—it was mandatory.

But what if it wasn’t mandatory? Would you still want a remote workforce?

I’ve asked a number of business leaders these questions. The answers have been mixed. Some have said they can’t wait to bring everyone back together. They miss the camaraderie. They miss the synergy of meeting with a group and brainstorming new ideas, resolving problems and more. Others have said they won’t return to their offices. They have learned that their businesses can operate efficiently and productively without having the overhead of a fancy office.

Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, the idea of a remote workforce was growing. Stats and facts showed that a majority of younger generations (Gen Z and Millennials) were more and more interested in working remotely. It’s predicted that by 2028, 73% of all departments will have remote workers (Upwork, Future Workforce 2019).

Sir Richard Branson said, “In thirty years’ time, as technology moves forward even further, people are going to look back and wonder why offices ever existed.” He didn’t come up with this in the last few months when almost everyone was forced to go remote. That quote came from a 2013 article Branson wrote when he noticed that technology was giving us an opportunity to communicate and collaborate with people on the other side of the world.

While many of us have been pushed into the remote office world in the past few months, others have been doing it for years. In some instances, the founders of companies made the conscious decision to not have an office, even though almost everyone else in their industry did.

VB-Audio VoiceMeeter Banana

VoiceMeeter Banana, the Advanced Virtual Audio Mixer by V.Burel, is a pretty interesting piece of software. It allows you to “rewire” and mix audio streams in Windows, so that you can f.x. take a microphone input, and an aux input, and/or the output of another audio stream and mix those into one channel, which then can be the input to f.x. Skype. Very useful if you are trying to stream your voice together with sounds from another Windows application into the Skype meeting.

FAQ: How Much Does It Cost To Have A Sunken Trampoline?

An average is probably around $6,000.” On Angie’s List, an article explained that some contractors will charge around $2,500 for excavation and installation alone, plus the cost of the trampoline apparatus.

How much does it cost to sink a trampoline?

Hole depth – the hole depth should equal the height of the trampoline so once installed it is at ground level. Some people advise having the trampoline just above the surface of the ground by about 4 inches to allow the air to escape when bounced on.

Is an inground trampoline worth it?

Smaller children feel safer with in-ground trampolines. They have more freedom entering/exiting the trampoline without worrying about ladders since everything is level. However, both above- and in-ground trampolines have safety risks.

Are sunken trampolines good?

Some think that a sunken trampoline, built into the ground of your garden, may be safer for kids, given that they do not require stairs, which children could fall from. However, Trampolinetoday.com notes that sunken trampolines still present a level of risk of falling onto the hard ground or grass.

Can you sink any trampoline into the ground?

Generally speaking, you may sink your trampoline into the ground. Inherently, there is no issue with this approach, but there are a few important factors to consider to ensure that it is installed correctly and safely. However, it would help if you took certain precautions to avoid any negative impact.

How do you dig a sunken trampoline?

Building a sunken trampoline: Step-by-step guide

  3. Dig a hole.

How much do inground trampolines cost?

In-Ground Trampoline Purchasing Cost But the in-ground trampolines are pricier than the usual ones for a few practical reasons. Their average price lies between $1000 to $2500. There are few in-ground trampolines also that come with $4000 to $8000 price level.

How deep should an inground trampoline be?

Then dig an inner hole in the middle that is 2ft or 24 inches less in diameter than the trampoline size in a bowl shape to a depth of 36 inches (about 3ft) for 12ft and 14ft trampolines and 30 inches (about 2ft 6 inches) for 8ft and 10ft trampolines.

Do sunken trampolines need a net?

In-ground trampolines cost less to maintain if you do not have a net which is the most frequently required and costly replacement part. Less damage risk. In-ground trampolines eliminate the possibility of damage occurring because your trampoline cannot be blown away in high winds.

Why do people put their trampolines in the ground?

In-ground trampolines, also known as sunken trampolines, are installed in the ground so the jumping surface is level with the yard around it, rather than a few feet above on stilts. Just like above-ground trampolines, in-ground ones can have nets added for extra safety.

Do in-ground trampolines attract snakes?

Still, in-ground trampolines are the ultimate temptation for snakes exactly because the space under the mat is the perfect hiding place. However, if they don’t have any convenient hiding places on the way to the trampoline, they won’t be able to get to it.

Even if your trampoline was super bouncy above ground, as soon as it’s put beneath the ground there will be no where for the air to flow – which could result in a disappointing bounce.

Are coffee grounds good for raspberries?

Raspberries love nitrogen, and UCG have lots of it to offer. By the spring, when the raspberries will actually want the nitrogen, the coffee will have started decomp and provide the nutrients right where they’re needed, right when they’re needed.

What Should I Feed My raspberry plants?

A slow release, high potash fertiliser applied annually at the beginning of each growing season produces best results; Vitax Q4 is ideal. Summer fruiting raspberries, in other words those that are harvested in the main season, fruit on canes that grew the previous season.

How do I make my soil more acidic for raspberries?

Raspberry plants prefer soil with a pH between 5.5 and 6.5. Acidic soils should be amended with lime to raise the pH level, based on the results of a soil analysis. University extension offices can provide these services.

How do you increase the yield of raspberries?

If a trellis or support is used, black or purple raspberries can be tipped 6 to 12 inches higher. Tipping promotes branching, which, in turn, increases the number of fruitful buds and will increase yield. After berries are harvested from the floricanes, remove those canes at soil level.

Is blueberry fertilizer good for raspberries?

Fertilization. Blueberries and raspberries both benefit from a fertilizer application in early spring before new growth begins.

Should I water my raspberries?

Water raspberries plants during the day. Give them about 1″-2″ per week during growing season and up to 4″ per week during harvest. The plants are rather shallow rooted, so moisture needs to be at the surface.

Is chicken manure good for raspberries?

Use fully rotted or composted chicken manure for fertilizer in your raspberry rows. Till composted manure into the deep soil when planting raspberry canes. After the first growing season, use no more than 7.5 pounds of composted manure for 10 feet of raspberry plants.

Do raspberries like manure?

When and how to plant raspberries Dig in lots of well-rotted manure – at least a bucketful per square metre/yard – and add a general fertiliser or blood, fish and bonemeal. After planting, cover the soil with a 7.5cm (3in) thick mulch of bulky organic matter, such as garden compost.

How often do you fertilize raspberries?

Feed every 7 to 14 days during the growing season, following label directions. Then, stop feeding in early July so your plants can begin entering their dormant period for the season. Begin fertilizing established raspberry bushes in the spring after you prune them.

Is bone meal good for raspberries?

Grow Raspberry Plants as a Border If you are short of gardening space, but want to include raspberries, consider planting a border of raspberry plants. Every spring, add bone meal to the border to supply extra nutrients for the plants.

What compost is best for raspberries?

The ideal mixture is 80% general purpose potting compost plus 20% of loam based (John Innes for example) compost. The loam based compost will give the soil some body and help the roots to secure themselves firmly. One or two raspberry canes can be planted in a container which is 45cm / 18in or more wide.

What kind of soil do raspberries prefer?

They grow best in well-drained, fertile soils with a pH of 6.0 to 6.8. Raspberries grow poorly in heavy clay or poorly drained soils. Poor soils can often be improved by incorporating well-rotted barnyard manure or compost. Planting in raised beds can improve drainage.

Choosing a Family Cord Blood Bank
Key Tips for every mom-to-be

Cord blood banking is a topic being discussed more often by physicians and expectant parents.  The dizzying array of information on the Web can be difficult to sift through.  That’s why Rallie McAllister, M. D., MPH, co-author of The Mommy MD Guide to Pregnancy and Birth, – created this tip list to help    soon-to-be parents sift through some important issues when selecting a family cord blood bank.

1. Do Your Research and Do It Early:
* Talk to family and friends and your physician or midwife to get recommendations.
* Check online for testimonials and reviews. What is the bank’s reputation?
* Don’t assume it’s best to enroll with one close to home. A bank’s headquarters and its storage facility may not even be in the same state.

2.   Know the Regulations and Requirements:
* Has the bank registered with the U.S Food & Drug Administration (FDA) and met all state regulatory requirements?
* Is the bank accredited by the American Association of Blood Banks (AABB)?  Accreditation, which requires audits every two years, is evidence that your sample is screened, processed, and stored following the strictest quality assurance guidelines.

3.  Be Picky with the Process:
* What delivery method is used to transport the blood? Samples can be destroyed because of improper transit.  A reputable bank should use a medical courier company.
* Ask about collection and storage methods, as well as published rates on cell viability to ensure the bank is using the best available technology to save your cells so they will be ready in the event that you might need them.
* Find out if they’ve facilitated any successful transplants. A red flag should go up if a bank has a high volume of cord blood units in storage but has never used a unit for transplant.  This could mean transplant surgeons have rejected their cord blood which could mean its procedures are not careful or thorough enough.

4. Business and Stability:
* How long has the bank been in business?
* Is the bank involved in any research or clinical studies with prestigious medical research institutions?  A bank on the cutting edge of research would likely play a stronger and supportive role if the cord blood was needed in treatment for your child.
* How profitable is the company? It’s important to realize cord blood banking is a business.  If the bank goes out of business it could mean the cord blood units will be no longer be retrievable.

A Debt Repayment Plan

It can be very worrying for a parent when they are informed that one of their children is in debt. They often want to find an instant solution but can be unsure of where to go to seek help. In this article I give advice on what in my opinion is the best way of helping this child, who of course is likely to be an adult themselves. I hope that the article can be of help and benefit to many people.

There are a number of solutions to different problems that we come across in life and the advice I give in this article may not be suitable in every debt situation but is the way I would deal with my own childs debt problem.

One of the first people to contact would be one of the national organisations which deal with debt such as the national debt line. The majority of parents are normally quite shocked and stunned when they find out the true extent of their childs debt – this can even border on being very angry and a feeling of being let down. There is no need to feel ashamed or embarrassed when you call these places as the advisers deal with debt problems each and every day – this is their job. They will have the required expertise and resources to aid you.

My advice would be to start the child on a debt management plan or to seek the help of a tax specialist Birmingham. I would advise people to contact the national debt line – partly because it is a free service. The beauty of this plan is that the interest from the debt is frozen and it is the interest that is normally what makes the debt become so large. The child then agrees an amount to pay each month, an amount that they have worked out that they can afford and then the debt slowly but surely starts to reduce. The amount that they have agreed to pay is normally far lower than the minimum monthly payment that they had been paying towards the debt which was likely to have only covered the interest anyway.

New details in fatal shooting at Hollywood Thai restaurant

January 28, 2012 |  9:12 am
UntitledNew details emerged Saturday morning in the fatal shooting at the Pink Pepper Thai restaurant on Hollywood Boulevard, one of several shootings overnight in L.A.

The shooting Friday night appears to have resulted from an argument on the patio of the eatery, police sources said. A man at the restaurant allegedly pulled out a gun and pointed it at a woman, who tried to grab the weapon.

During the struggle the woman, who was not identified, was shot once. She was pronounced dead at a local hospital. The man was shot twice. He is being treated at a local hospital.

Initially, it was reported that both of the victims were shot by two gunmen. Officials stressed police are still trying to sort out what exactly happened.

It was not clear if the man and woman knew each other, said Los Angeles Police Department spokeswoman Norma Eisenman.

It was one of half a dozen shootings in the city overnight, including three in South Los Angeles. There was also a gang-related shooting that left one person dead and three others wounded outside the Mayan nightclub downtown early Saturday morning.

Essential Truths: The Role of Public Authority

David McIlroy - Colour
David McIlroy - Colour

As a Christian should I be suspicious or supportive of government?

Are laws and government a gift from God? Or do they usually represent a threat to human freedom?

Some Christians place great confidence in the role of government, believing that through good legislation society can be transformed. Others are more nervous, being concerned about the consequences of secular laws for freedom of religion and Christian values.

What then is God's view of government? What is its proper role and what are its limits? And what are the implications for us as lawyers engaged in the administration of justice?

In this short video, David McIlroy, experienced barrister and Head of Forum Chambers, explores with us the biblical mandate given to government and how it should affect the way we view our day-to-day work as lawyers.

Taiwo Abiodun-Oni, LL.B, B.L.

Today, the Employment and Labour Lawyers Association of Nigeria (ELLAN) held a timely and applaudable web based seminar that bordered largely on issues of welfare of lawyers in Nigeria.
The seminar had an enormous attendance with one of the co-hosts, Sola Soleye announcing at a point that the seminar had reached the mark of 500 attendees. To me this gave a hint on two things; the fact that more Nigerian lawyers have come to the realization that (some are in the process) that the very much adored profession is fast losing its savour and that the time had come to take the issue of the leadership of the professional body with much more earnestness.
Anyone in attendance could attest to the fact that many issues were asked and discussed by the three aspiring presidential candidates in what seemed like both their Presidential Debate and Manifesto Day. Some of the issues discussed in the seminar are reproduced here, even as I make bold to give my two cents.
Remuneration of course was a focal point in the discourse, so much so, that the co-host may have unintentionally asked the same question about remuneration twice even though differently. The candidates were asked if a minimum wage or at least a recommended wage was feasible for the profession at first and subsequently, the candidates were asked if they would support a bill that seeks to prohibit the payment of less than 50,000 Naira as salary for legal practitioners. Without mentioning names, a candidate in all honesty (which seemed like his unapologetic trait) correctly alluded to the non-feasibility of such a bill bearing in mind the differences in jurisdictional cash flow in the many jurisdictions of practice in Nigeria and that setting a particular price in a bill could be counterproductive and futuristically problematic especially with the unstable nature of the naira as well as its susceptibility to inflation. Another candidate in what seemed like a smart but myopic political statement stated that he would throw his full weight behind such a bill but not without alluding to the existential differences in jurisdictional cash flows.
In my opinion, as has been stated many times by many lawyers (mostly older), the legal practice, no matter how conservative and organized remains a business and businesses especially ones privately owned are not and cannot be immune to the forces of market, that is, demand and supply, so therefore, the use of law as means for regulating wages or salary payment may be anathema to the commonsense economic principles. However, if we must regulate law office payment structure, such can be done by an indirect means of regulating the law office itself. Ownership of law firm in Nigeria must go through an accreditation process by the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) so much so, that a person or a group of persons who wish to own a law firm but do not meet up the required standards set would not be registered or accredited to float a law office.
By doing the above, the Bar in the popular aphorism ‘kills two birds with a single stone’, that is, it has proactively protected the welfare of a vulnerable and naïve young counsel who would have fallen prey of a meager income and at the same time has helped protect the interest of the law practice by riding out lawyers who for the sake of staying afloat lower the standards of the bar by undercutting fees and engaging in sharp and unwelcome practices. It is possible that this point may be unwelcomed, however, I should state that I believe that the fewer the law offices, the stronger existing ones become. The Bar could even go ahead to serve as a partnership matchmaker for two individuals who have had their individual applications denied. This ultimately would create stronger institutions.
The Bar must through legislation give up the right to take up certain briefs such as non technical legal documentations etc. of a certain financial threshold by making them the exclusive preserve of younger lawyers.
Another salient issue (though seemed trivial) that was asked by the co-host was on the role that law faculties and law teachers had to play in molding and preparing a total young lawyer. Not one of the candidates seemed to have gotten the answer to this question even though I had seen this particular subject as one of the point agendas for one of the candidates. To answer this question, I am thrown back to 500 Level Jurisprudence & Legal Theories class where Prof, N. Udombana had thrown a question at the class; ‘Is Jurisprudence relevant today’? I remember being the only one who was rather bold to unflinchingly state that the study of Jurisprudence had no single relevance to life today not to talk of the legal practice. There are so many other law courses like that. The world is changing and if we don’t change with it, we will be left behind and forgotten in the past.
New areas of law have emerged and some are still emerging and these new areas of law are much more relevant to the practice than the many over saturated and antiquated areas of law. I see no reason why faculties of law, Council of Legal Education and the National Universities Commission still contemplate the introduction either by elimination or substitution for these emerging areas of law to take priority in our legal education. This is the only way our lawyers would get to compete toe for toe with foreign lawyers and firms and our potential clients not go to France or UK for their lawyering needs as one of the candidates had factually noted.
Now, the point I would mention here may not be well received (at the very best) but I must state it anyways. We must reduce the number of legal practitioners in Nigeria and to do this, the Council of Legal Education, the NUC and the NBA must make sure that the quota for each aspiring lawyer at undergraduate levels must not exceed the mark of 50 students per university. This at first glance smirks of cowardice and ‘bad belle’ of the highest order. But, I assure you that, more than 70% of young lawyers in Nigeria are either unemployed or grossly underemployed and this is the reality. As a profession and practice that wishes to stay relevant in Nigeria and maybe the world, we cannot continue to churn out over 7, 000 lawyers per year into a profession that literally has no job(s) for them. That is why I hold the firmest belief that the fewer the lawyer(s); the lower the rate of unemployment, the scarcer lawyers are, the higher the client fees. It is simple economics and undergraduate admission should be the genesis of this revolution.
Thirdly, one of the areas that the candidates seemed to have disagreed on was as to whether the bane of the Nigerian Bar Association was its lack of structure. One of the candidates cited his past service roles in the NBA as evidence for the presence of a structure but that the lack of continuity in successive NBA governments as the problem. The other two candidates held the opinion that the NBA was grossly unstructured and was a waiting disaster. Now, the issue of structure seemed to have reminded me of the constant calls by Nigerians for the restructuring of the country. No one person truly knows its true meaning, However, I would suppose that, with respect to the structure of the Bar Association, one refers to the organizational compactness weighed against its underwritten goals. in my opinion, having attended only one NBA dinner which I had to pay for even after paying practicing fees and branch dues with no accompanying stipend from my boss during my youth service year, I came to the single and unfortunate conclusion that it seemed the NBA only cared about food than any other things. The dinner was topnotch and course meals flowed nonstop. It wasn’t long after that, we got the greatest shock of our lives when we saw the Chief Justice of Nigeria being blackmailed out of office in a way that was clearly unconstitutional. Even a Nigerian law school student could confirm this fact yet, the NBA was mum. It was an unbelievable silence and it was only after a considerable amount of time has passed that the Executives issued a weak ‘sit home order’; one that no one found worthy enough to obey.
It was at this point I knew that the organizational hierarchy of the association was dead and that there was no going forward. Many questions came to my mind. Why is being part of the NBA compulsory? Why don’t we have other Bar Associations like it is done in other climes? Why hasn’t an NBA President ever been impeached for low quality leadership? These were few of the many questions on my mind?
Most of lawyer functions (lease, land sale and conveyancing deeds) have been hijacked by OND real estate agents, WAEC holder stenographers usually lined up in front of the court premises (the same route that the judges drive through everyday) soliciting to render affidavit drafting services, CAC duties are no longer our exclusive preserve, accounting firms and even the non-learned now incorporate companies and file annual and tax returns etc. Only God knows if there would be anything left for lawyers to do in a decade.
To get the structural issues right, then the questions I have asked here must be answered.
In this profession, only classism and unwarranted seniority thrives, nothing else. The time to act is now, the longer we delay, the more confounded are problems become.

    1. Aanu Ayanyinka

      Yea..great read sir..I agree with u, the profession and it’s association are in dire need of an overhaul, but I still believe that Jurisprudence is still relevant in the law practice of the 21st century- think of law as it is and as it should be,interpretation of the laws by the courts, judicial reasoning,judicial activism, etc.,these are a recurring decimal in court everyday and they are issues in Jurisprudence, sir…but all the same ,good read…I agree we need a minimum wage system and a well structured (by legislation ) law practice.

  6. Bold exposure of facts Taiwo!If more youthful pressure is done like you, innovation (other than the appauling conventional status) in the practice of law will be inevitable.

  7. Prof, yours is a very brilliant, bold piece, and well articulated too. However, I strongly disagree with some of your submissions.

    On Population of Lawyers.
    It is very true that many lawyers are unemployed or underemployed. But I do not agree we have too many lawyers for our staggering population. Just what is the ratio of lawyers to Nigerians? If you do the Maths, you’ll agree with me that we aren’t anywhere near a sizeable ratio. Our problems are more structural, systemic, operational, and orientational. And these problems cannot be nipped in the bud without first paying attention to statistical data. How many lawyers are there? How many law firms are there? What sectors have a pool of many lawyers? What sectors have few? Which sectors have none? What services should lawyers be offering exclusively but have been hijacked by others? Until we have such facts and figures, the popular notion that we have too many lawyers in Nigeria is at best speculative. I’d rather suggest an embargo be placed on admission for few years to set things right. If after a statistical analysis of where we are and where we should be, there’s a need to peg the number admitted by each school to 50, so be it.

    On Minimum Wage
    A minimum wage in itself isn’t a bad idea. A minimum wage is what it is: minimum. It does not mean premium should not be given to the peculiarities of location and economic power of a firm to determine same. It is a big disgrace to the profession that some lawyers earn below the minimum wage set by Government. If there’s no mimimun prescription, this will continue unabated.

    On Regulating Law Firms
    While I am all for standardization of firms, I do not subscribe to reducing the number of law firms to the barest minimum. Yes, we need to start thinking of partnerships that can pull together a large number of human and material resources (and we are not even anywhere close the big world-class law firms with thousands of lawyers in a single firm). Nevertheless, we should not discard small and medium firms. They have their role to play in the scheme of things. We only need to insist that they meet certain basic requirements suitable for each Cadre.

    On Relevance of Law Courses
    Of all courses that could be said to be irrelevant to contemporary practice of law, jurisprudence, in my view, is certainly not one. It is by far one of the most important courses there is to law practice. Jurisprudence, being the science of law, ought to form the theoretical basis for a wide range of what we do in practice including taking up of briefs, sentencing, advocacy, interpretation of laws, content of laws, remuneration etc. What is perhaps needed is a revision of the old texts to suit present realities. It’s just sad that not much work is being done by contemporary theorists to refine this very important aspect of law. That said, I wholly agree that more relevant, contemporary courses ought to be included in the syllabus, while a good number of subjects should be wielded out. Additionally, focus should be given to honing legal skill sets right from the university. I’ll equally recommend that law be made a second degree, with the duration abridged to 3 years. This will ensure only persons serious about being an integral part of the profession and contributing to it are admitted.

    Pardon my long comment. All best.
