Following the outcry that greeted reports that Nigeria’s Falconets were stranded in Turkey after being knocked out of the World Cup in Costa Rica, the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) on Wednesday clarified the unfortunate incident which saw the U20 women’s national team, Falconets, stranded for hours at Istanbul airport on their way back from the FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup.
In an official press release, the NFF explained that a number of factors, including the inability to obtain transit visas for Falconets players and officials, forced the team to stay 24 hours at the airport in Turkey.
“The NFF has not reserved the tickets for the Costa Rican team; FIFA did. Nor did FIFA consider the hiccups that saw the team delayed for more than three hours in Bogota and another hour in Panama. By the time the team arrived in Istanbul, the flight to Abuja had departed.
“Our officials advocated for humanitarian transit visas to take players and officials to a hotel inside the city, but this was not possible as they were informed that Nigeria had been withdrawn. from the list of countries whose citizens had received a visa on arrival in Turkey.
The airline then took the team to a sleeping area at the airport and gave them tickets to eat meals every five hours.
This situation has nothing to do with NFF, who had made arrangements to receive the team in Abuja prior to complications in travel arrangements,” explained NFF Secretary General Dr. Mohammed Sanusi.
It should be recalled that the NFF had implored the world governing body, FIFA, to intervene with the German Embassy to issue the teams’ transit visas prior to their departure from Nigeria, so that the team could travel. across Germany. This does not happen.
On the issue of bodywear, Sanusi said, “The players received three sets of green jerseys and two sets of white jerseys, several types of indoor clothing and practice jerseys. The players chose to wash only their shirts (no other things) because when the first set of bodywear was sent to the hotel launderers it came back with FIFA and NFF badges on the front and names on the back peeled off by the machine.

Enrollment at the Falls City Church’s two public high schools, Meridian and Henderson, is each about two dozen students above the expected number for the fall, said superintendent Dr. Peter Noonan, at the first school board meeting of the season held in City Council Chambers Hall on Tuesday evening.

The school division as a whole is listed above projections as of this week by 32 students, at 2,534, while numbers for Meridian High are 23 higher at 886 and Henderson Middle School above 22 at 587 The only school at all below projected numbers was Mt. Daniel Elementary, down 15 to 465.

“The children did not arrive as expected” at this level, Noonan said, but he added that 20 students are now enrolled in the higher levels as city student tuition, and added that there are there are also some who are temporarily registered as children of the Circus Soleil troupe booked into a local hotel during a long series of nightly shows at Tysons.

“We hope that means there’s going to be a really great talent show here this fall,” he joked.

Overall, Noonan was very optimistic in his first report to the school board on the status of the new school year, which officially began with the opening of classes two weeks ago (August 29).

Marking his sixth year at the helm of the Falls Church system, Noonan said “it’s been one of the best ever because the last five have all involved some kind of existential stress” ranging from new construction issues schools, the pandemic and related issues. “It’s the first time that something hasn’t happened, and it seems very normal,” he joked.

He reported that, fortunately, “there has been no ‘big resignation’ impact on the Falls Church schools, as there are ‘only smiling faces’ as all teaching positions and staff are provided, including bus drivers, and all new teachers have been assigned mentors by fellow teachers.

He praised the convocation that drew more than 500 system workers last month, thanked school board chairwoman Laura Downs, the Falls Church Education Foundation and city council member Marybeth Connelly for their pioneering roles, and highlighted the role of a panel of students at the event. held in the new Meridian Auditorium which was themed “how can we find joy again” in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic and other inconveniences.

He said that while the spread of Covid-19 is not over, “it is now being treated as ‘endemic’ and not a pandemic.

Asked by board member Tate Gould how the opening of the Falls Church system compares to surrounding jurisdictions, Noonan said he would hear more at a regional superintendents meeting next week, but based on media reports, the Falls Church system, due to its size and priorities, has been “very lucky”, avoiding the teacher and staff shortages that continue to plague its much larger neighbors who still have hundreds unfilled faculty and staff positions.

“All our teachers and bus drivers are in place here,” Noonan said. “We are settling in now and things are going very well.”

Among the items the school board addressed on Tuesday was to give preliminary agreement to a new school calendar action that codifies the development of future school calendars. “The proposed policy moves the division to a more secular schedule by recognizing fall/Thanksgiving, winter, and spring holidays and requires all other non-student holidays to be federal holidays or those required by law of the state. The first day of school would be two weeks before Labor Day and the last day of school no later than June 10,” it was reported.

The Board will continue to receive written comments on the proposed policy via email and public comment at future meetings and the matter is scheduled for a final vote at the October 11 regular meeting.

Cornell will begin the spring semester online and extend the move-in period with an expanded testing schedule, as he expects a large number of cases in the first few weeks of the semester, the University said Thursday.

The University will begin the semester on January 24 as scheduled – but with two weeks of virtual teaching until February 4 to welcome lone students, President Martha Pollack, Rector Michael Kotlikoff and Vice President for Student Life and on campus Ryan Lombardi wrote in a Thursday afternoon email.

“Our modeling suggests that Cornell could see a large number of cases in the first few weeks, although given our almost fully vaccinated and heavily boosted population, the vast majority of these cases will be mild or asymptomatic,” the e- mail. “This expected peak at the start of the semester poses several challenges for universities, given the need to provide sufficient isolation space and vital support for isolated students, as well as to prevent students from falling behind in class.â€

Beyond virtual training, Cornell is implementing pre-departure testing and improving arrival testing. The University will also start the semester at yellow alert level, indicating moderate risk. (Cornell started the last three semesters on Green Alert.)

The move comes as other universities across the country, including Columbia university, Yale University and the University of Pennsylvania, among the Ivy League – have announced their intention to move the first two weeks of the spring semester online, as they meet the highly transmissible Omicron variant.

During the week of December 30, Cornell is reporting 289 positive cases, weeks before most of the students return to Ithaca. January 6, Tompkins County reported 1,404 active cases with 15 active hospitalizations.

active county case peaked at 2,630 on December 22, before dipping for a few days, then starting to rise again in the new year. This spike was more than five times higher than the previous record of 488 active cases on September 5, and came as cases on campus skyrocketed at the end of the semester, putting the University on Red Alert. .

As Cornell seeks to minimize the health risks of the Omicron variant, here’s a breakdown of the University’s updated COVID policies less than three weeks before the semester begins.

Move-in guidelines

The online semester start will allow students to return to campus anywhere between Jan. 18 and Feb. 7 – a decision meant to accommodate new pre-arrival testing rules, changing plans for travel and the increased need for seclusion space, without disrupting lessons as much. as possible.

Precautions before arrival

All students who test positive for COVID in December and during the holidays must self-report their positive case on the Daily check website – exempting them from testing for 90 days.

Students living both on and off campus who have not tested positive in the past 90 days must test negative 24 hours before returning to Ithaca and uploading their test results to Daily Check.

According to the email, undergraduates who cannot get a COVID test before they return to Ithaca should contact the university by January 11 and Cornell will send them an antigen test by mail.

This is the first semester since fall 2020 that Cornell has required students to share pre-departure test scores with the University, and represents one of the biggest changes to arrival procedures from three previous semesters.

All students should update the Spring Checklist with their travel plans, including their expected arrival date.

Living on campus

When students arrive in Ithaca, those living in on-campus accommodation will take an on-campus antigen test and must upload their results to Daily Check within 24 hours of arrival.

After this first arrival test, students living on campus will receive four additional antigen tests for testing twice a week over the next two weeks and upload their results.

“If you have a roommate, you should consider coordinating return dates, so you don’t both arrive at the same time,†the email read. “This way, if the first to arrive is positive despite the pre-departure tests, that person can isolate themselves in the residence. “

Off-campus life

Undergraduates, graduate students and professional students living in off-campus accommodation will receive a link to schedule their arrival test at a Cornell PCR testing site closer to their arrival date – shown in the list of spring check. After off-campus students complete the arrival tests, they should schedule testing twice a week for two weeks at Cornell’s PCR testing sites.

Positive test

All students who test positive before returning to Ithaca should self-isolate and delay their trip to campus until they have completed the recommended CDC. five-day isolation period.

Those who test positive on an arrival test will self-isolate if they live off campus, including in co-op housing, fraternities and sororities.

Students who test positive and live in dorms will isolate themselves in their rooms if they live single – or if their roommates have not yet arrived or have also tested positive. The University will provide hotel rooms “where possible,” the email said, to students in campus housing who need seclusion space.

Semester activities

Campus life

Cornell severely limits in-person student activities until in-person classes begin on February 7. The University is also asking students to avoid informal social gatherings to minimize the spread of the virus early in the semester.

“Please help us keep Cornell safe and healthy by limiting social activities during these crucial two weeks, â€the email read.

Dining halls will be open with take-out meals during these first two weeks, and recreational facilities and campus libraries will remain open. Sporting events will continue as planned.

Masking

The University is phasing out cloth masks for the spring semester – under the latest COVID guidelines, these masks “no longer meet Cornell’s protective standards,” the administrators wrote.

All faculty, staff, and students should wear high quality masks, such as the N95 and KN95 masks, recommended as the most effective against the Omicron variant. The University plans to distribute these masks to members of the campus community who need them.

Reminders and vaccination

Cornell demanded in December that all eligible students, faculty and staff receive the booster (and upload their results to Daily Check) in addition to the COVID vaccine. Administrators wrote that the Cornellians should be given a reminder before returning to campus, with supplies limited in Tompkins County.

PARIS (AFP) – People are less likely to come up with creative ideas on a video call than in an in-person meeting, according to research released on Wednesday, suggesting that workplaces should prioritize brainstorming sessions for the office.

The pandemic has changed the nature of office work, propelling a massive rise in video conferencing that doesn’t seem likely to subside as working from home becomes more entrenched around the world.

Seeking to understand how this enormous change affects creativity, American researchers studied nearly 1,500 employees of a telecommunications company in Finland, Hungary, India, Israel and Portugal.

In pairs, in person or on a Zoom call, employees came up with as many creative ideas for the company’s products as they could, then picked the best one.

Pairs who spoke in person scored around 15% more, according to the study published in the journal Nature.

The researchers found similar results in an experiment involving more than 600 college students, who were also paired up and asked to come up with creative ideas for a Frisbee or bubble wrap.

In-person pairs came up with 14% more ideas.

However, it wasn’t all bad news for Zoom, Skype and other video conferencing apps.
Both sets of results found that video calls were equally effective at selecting the best idea, a decision that requires “cognitive focus and analytical reasoning,” according to the study.

To understand the difference, the researchers followed the eyes of the participants.

“In the virtual condition, people look at their partner significantly more — almost double — at the expense of their larger environment,” said study co-author Melanie Brucks, an assistant professor of marketing at the University of Columbia, in a Nature video.

The study stated that “videoconferencing hampers idea generation because it concentrates communicators on a screen, prompting closer cognitive focus.”

This kind of focus can help select the best idea, but prevent you from coming up with one in the first place.

“We’re more creative when we’re not focused and free,” Brucks said.

“I always suggest turning off the camera while generating ideas, so you can walk around, you can look around.”

These findings could shed light on how companies plan for remote work, according to the study – especially in hybrid home office setups where “it might make sense to prioritize generating creative ideas during meetings.” in person”.

The researchers added that they had to exclude results from engineers from a telecommunications company in Poland who, unlike the other groups, met in a hotel conference room.

“Perhaps for this reason, participants exhibited widespread noncompliance, including notable concern about the hotel catering coffee and cookie item,” the study said.

There’s no getting around it, Chiwetel Ejiofor is one of the best actors alive, and one who can easily bounce back from playing a shoe-obsessed drag queen with an entrepreneurial spirit to someone illegally enslaved on a 12-year crusade to secure his freedom, and a vengeful, overzealous wizard in the Marvel Cinematic Universe without batting an eyelid. Yeah, he’s so good.

So good, in fact, that it’s hard to settle for just one, two or even 10 of Chiwetel Ejiofor’s best films and we had to go and make a longer than usual list of his great performances which should all be watched for anyone who appreciates movies that are more than just great. Let’s dive in…

12 Years a Slave (2013)

Entrepreneur guru and founder of Ikeja Hotel Plc, owner of Sheraton Hotel & Towers, Lagos, Mr Goodie Ibru has joined other Nigerians in calling on the Federal Government to remove subsidies on petroleum products and subsidize the places education and health on a larger scale.

He also emphasized entrepreneurial skills and knowledge, especially for college and university students, saying it would help many of them become job makers rather than job seekers, even when they are still in school.

Mr. Ibru gave the views during the presentation of the 2022 Distinguished Personality Lecture Series hosted by Lagos State University (LASU) Ojo on Thursday. He spoke on “Imperatives of a 21st Century Nigerian Economy: An Entrepreneur’s Perspective”.

According to him, the fuel subsidy controversy in the country has gone on for too long and instead of the government continuing to subsidize gasoline, it should subsidize education and health on a larger scale.

He said this would enable every Nigerian to be equipped to be more competitive in the market of opportunity, which would lead to real economic prosperity for the country.

Using a global perspective on fuel prices in various countries around the world, including some neighboring countries in West and Central Africa and comparing them with that of Nigeria which he says is very low to make his point, he said it was simply unsustainable for Nigeria. continue to subsidize the local price of fuel at the pump.

According to him, the government is spending several billion naira to support the oil and gas industry sector and unless this scenario is corrected to promote full liberalization of the sector, fuel smuggling will continue and the subsidy will also continue to drain the country’s public finances.

Ibru, who is the former President of the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) and has also sought full privatization of the power sector including the Transmission Company of Nigeria to make the sector according to him more efficient like the telecom industry, said the government should have set conditions for the International Oil Companies (IOCs) while allocating oil blocks to them to build refineries in the country, as this would go a long way in reducing the cost of fuel in the country.

He said that as things stand, the government must certainly develop the political will necessary to ensure the successful removal of the subsidy and that the winning strategy is for the ruling party and the opposition parties as well as the other stakeholders are on the same wavelength. On the question.

He said that was how the federal government could prevent a serious national fiscal crisis that could occur if the status quo remains.

Speaking earlier, LASU Vice-Chancellor Prof. Ibiyemi Olatunji-Bello also highlighted the importance of entrepreneurship, especially in the 21st century economy, saying that entrepreneurs add great value to the national income, help to create jobs and new wealth.

She said that’s why LASU makes teaching entrepreneurship a core subject for every student, regardless of background.

She thanked the guest speaker for sharing with the students and other members of the university community her knowledge and wealth of experience, saying she hopes the knowledge gains will help them greatly.

Here is a list of the top hotel booking revenue generators around the world. Is your property connected to it?

STAAH, one of the leading cloud-based hotel distribution and guest booking platforms, unveiled the lists of online channels that generated the highest booking revenue for hotels and vacation rentals in 2021 .

The listings, which vary in 10 of the world’s most popular travel destinations, reveal a wider range of consumer choices, although common preferences stand out.

Booking.com is the world’s leading online travel agent (OTA) and is in the top 3 channels in all key destinations measured including New Zealand, Australia, Thailand, Indonesia, India , Singapore, Sri Lanka, the Philippines, Malaysia and the United Kingdom. .

Expedia and Agoda also rank in the top 5 of these destinations. Go MMT holds the top spot in the Indian market, but there are a number of new entrants in the top 10 spots including Happyeasygo, HRS, and EaseMyTrip. The growing popularity of Airbnb as a chain is also seen in Sri Lanka, the Philippines, Thailand and Australia. The new entrants in the first places also reflect the strengthening of local and regional distribution channels due to the restriction of international travel.

The annual listings also highlight the importance of direct bookings for hotels, with hotel websites maintaining their top ranking in all destinations throughout 2021. In this pandemic year, these commission-free bookings have been reduced. a godsend for cash strapped homeowners.

“The pandemic has leveled the playing field for many distribution channels,” says Tony Howlett, COO at STAAH Ltd. “With international travel restricted, travelers look to regional channels and hotel websites (direct bookings). Demand for stays could be one of the drivers of Airbnb preference, as travelers seek authentic experiences at home.

However, it’s not just about connecting to all the major channels; it’s also about making sure the channel is right for you and, more importantly, optimizing your SEO on those channels to attract more bookings.

The man convicted of murdering a woman at an Invercargill motel has had his offer of a reduced sentence rejected.

The Court of Appeal today dismissed an appeal against the minimum prison sentence imposed on Samuel Moses Samson (34) last year for the murder of Azalia Wilson at the Bavarian Motel in 2019.

On June 3 last year, following a jury trial at Invercargill High Court, Samson was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum period of 17 years in prison without parole.

Ms Wilson, 21 and mother of Samson’s baby girl, died from blunt force injuries to her head, neck, abdomen and face on November 17, 2019.

At a hearing earlier this month, Samson’s lawyer, Nicolette Levy, QC, told Justices Gilbert, Mander and Fitzgerald that the minimum jail sentence was excessive, given her mental health issues. and his underprivileged upbringing.

She sought to admit as evidence a consultant psychiatrist’s report dealing with these issues and requested that the minimum prison term be reduced to 13½ years.

Ms Levy said that at the time of her sentencing, her then solicitor, Judith Ablett-Kerr, QC, was restrained by her instructions not to present the psychiatrist’s report to Judge Gerald Nation because it contained admissions partial to the crime.

The report revealed that Samson suffered from complex post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a condition more serious than PTSD, and suffered traumatic brain injury as a child.

This has led to a propensity for violence in domestic relationships and addiction to drugs and alcohol, Ms Levy said.

It was unfair that Samson had to wait 17 years before he was allowed to return to the community, no matter how much progress he might make.

In today’s ruling, Justices Gilbert, Mander and Fitzgerald said they would not normally admit on appeal evidence that was deliberately withheld from the sentencing judge for strategic reasons.

However, they had decided to accede to the request “with some reluctance” in the general interest of justice.

They accepted that Samson’s “truly appalling upbringing” helped explain his offending, as well as his deep-seated deficits in impulse control and anger.

However, there was no evidence of significant intellectual disability and the offense was premeditated.

He had gone to the hotel intending to brutally murder Ms Wilson, and his subsequent actions were “calculated and extremely ruthless”.

“None of this is adequately explained by a lack of impulse control.”

Any discount that might otherwise have been warranted should be reduced to account for Samson’s long history of serious and escalating domestic violence.

Therefore, the minimum prison sentence was appropriate and the judges dismissed the appeal against the sentence.
