When a friend called me out of the blue to offer me a golden opportunity in the city, I informed her that I had moved to Nottingham a few years back and I am settling in well. “Oh, I did not realise you had reached retirement age”.

Though I am sure she still thinks me as myopic for having chosen Nottingham over London as my new home, I am convinced Nottingham holds the best opportunities for our community oriented services. The opportunity to work with African communities in Nottingham through various organisations such as African Community Nottingham and the ability to be actively engaged in informing a smaller and more intimate group of people about what is happening around them makes me extremely excited.

The increasing number of people within Mojatu team and the fast increasing number of African communities joining our pool of clients and service providers is excellent for teamwork and personal satisfaction. The upcoming African community centre is a source of great pride.

Though my friend assured me that I “will crawl back to London in the middle of the night begging to be taken back by the city I betrayed”, I am saying a big NO! Nottingham has become my new and true home. This is where my my heart is!

I invite you all to this African Community Centre where we will work together in creating a vibrant home for our community activities and services. With meeting rooms, a functions hall, hot desks which users can hire on daily, weekly or monthly basis, this is the place to network and base your community organisation and small business services. You can also get virtual office where your mails can be received, business registration, accounting, legal, graphic and web design services.

Let’s make Nottingham proud!

During the occasion which started at 5pm, the organisers of the event, Wonderson Chideya and Patrice Musarurwa outlined the aims and objectives of ACN. They confirmed the need for a united front to address the challenges facing Africans in Nottingham and their need to showcase their contributions and success in the community.

Many African community groups, businesses and professions were represented during the event. Certificates of recognition were also issued in addition to inspirational and challenging speeches. “The African community is blessed with academics, professionals in health, business, media, and awareness programs. We all need to come together at an occasion like this one and see which areas we can help and support each other’, said Patrice.

Wonderson added that “It is sad that people are living comfortably in their own circles and failing to come out and make a difference. We are not asking for contributions in monetary terms but a contribution of their time and expertise”.

Councillor Bryan commended the vision and efforts of ACN in enhancing the wellbeing of Africans in Nottingham. She emphasised on the importance and timeliness of ACN and its activities. She noted that “this is an excellent initiative for Africans to take time to have dialogue, support each other and network. This is working on a wider, more inclusive program that would be a credible voice to articulate the needs of the Black Community. “I am openly inviting you to work with us and other stake holders in the ‘Community Partnership Forum’.

You have made a very good start and have a very promising future” she continued.

The Sheriff echoed other speakers and the founders of ACN in emphasising the need for having a united front to Africans in Nottingham. She requested that she be included in the ACN’s future programs including the upcoming summer programs. Citing the significance of ACN’s achievement, the Sheriff stated that “I have lived in Nottingham for 50 years and at no time have l sat down for a meal with the African community group of this nature. I shall live to cherish this day for a long time to come” Summing up her speech, she urged ACN to move on confidently by assuring them to “rest assured that l will back you all the way”.

Victor Mukuruva acknowledged the work being carried out by Amdani Juma who runs Aids Awareness workshops through the Godfrey Higgins trust and the African Institute for Social Development. Amdani has been involved with the program since 2003. He received an ACN appreciation award for his activities. ‘Our attitude towards those who suffer from HIV and Aids must change. I would have hoped that at this point in time we would be educated enough not to shun or marginalise those with the condition’, said Mr Mukuruva.

A psychiatric nurse, Anthony Okenwa reiterated the need for change in attitude towards the sick and the needy. He urged the need for positive attitude. He concluded by pledging to support ACN especially in matters relating to mental health.

Swiss Ed, the proprietor of Swiss Global Finance located along Radford road urged Africans to maintain their cultures.

He cited the need for unity, community and social integration which are core to most African people. He challenged the Africans to look at the good examples of other ethnic groups who have managed to keep their values. He was particularly worried about children’s confusion through identity crisis.

He also called for ‘purity of action and thought’ among community leaders so that Nottingham can be a better place to raise children.

Certificates of recognition were issued to various individuals and organisations.

Michael Mandaza and DJ Beezet of Kemet FM were awarded certificates for sports coordinator and media communications respectively in absentia. These were collected by Bob Ilunga

ACN has many exciting plans for times ahead. The group continues to grow and aims to incorporate everyone within Nottingham. You do not need to be an African to join ACN.

Ngoma spokesman, Ras Goodies, felt it was such a shame that the band does not get much support from the African community. He hoped that platforms such as the ACN will provide better engagement and participation of Africans in many community activities. This will enable them to witness what their African counterparts are doing. Mojatu Foundation was recognised for its active role in enhancing community information dissemination among Africans in Nottingham.

Community Partnership Forum (CPF) by Paul Ifayomi The last meeting of the Community Partnership Forum (CPF) took place on Wednesday 30th January at 6.00pm at the Marcus Garvey Centre. The creation of the CPF was catalysed by the efforts of Cllr Merlita Bryan, the current Sheriff of Nottingham.

The CPF was founded “To be a credible voice to articulate the needs of the Black community (African/ African-Caribbean/ Dual Heritage) in relation to community planning, service delivery by mainstream institutions and to work for the equitable allocation of resources, particularly in relation to education, employment and economic development.”

The group also seeks to promote partnership working amongst Black led organisations and to build bridges between African and African-Caribbean individuals and communities in Nottingham.

The focus of the meeting on the 30th January was a ‘Question Time’ type discussion with Paddy Tipping (Police & Crime Commissioner for Nottinghamshire), Cllr Nick McDonald (Cabinet member and Portfolio holder for Employment and Business) and Cllr Alex Norris (Cabinet member and Portfolio holder for Communities).

The aims of the meeting were to introduce the guests to the CPF, to find out their respective priorities for the coming year and how they intend to address the specific problems facing Black people in Nottingham in their area of responsibilities.

There was a robust and open discussion and Mr Tipping promised to return to meet the group in the summer following the publication of research he has recently commissioned which explores, ‘The BME experience of Policing’.

All three guests were asked to send the CPF details of what they hope to accomplish in the year ahead which has specific relevance to Black people and organisations in Nottingham.

The next meeting of the CPF is Tuesday 26th February 2013 at 6.00pm at Marcus Garvey Centre, Lenton Boulevard, Nottingham.

Katy Ball who heads up the City Council’s Commissioning Team will be the guest speaker.

We also want people to formally affiliate their organisations/ themselves to the CPF at this meeting.

How can you get involved?

• Attend the next CPF meeting (and be on time!)

• Tell your friends • Affiliate your organisation/yourself to the CPF so that we can create a powerful collective voice • Join a theme group (Health and Housing, Education, Family & Women, Employment & Enterprise, Youth, Faith & Community, Arts and Culture). This is where the work will be done • Email CPF at com.partnership@hotmail.co.uk to get the contact details for the Chair of the theme group you are interested in and put forward your ideas.

This Valentine’s Day, as couples across the region focus on acts of love and kindness, Beats and Brains, a Nottingham based sex and relationship project for 13-25 year olds, will be hosting the official launch of the movie Respect Me calling time on domestic violence.

Young people from across the City have been working over the past nine months with Beats and Brains, Base 51 and Nottingham Domestic Violence Forum to write, cast, screen, edit, produce and provide backing tracks to a DVD movie entitled Respect Me. Produced in partnership with Fourmost Films and Joe Buddha, this is the third project run by Beats and Brains around sex and relationship issues affecting young people in Nottingham.

Endorsed by JLS, Wretch32, Sean Paul, Kano, Scorcher, Durex and MTV, Respect Me is the story of Nathan, a talented sixteen year old footballer, and his best friend who share the dream of playing professionally. They are best friends and so are their girlfriends. The film explores issues of physical and emotional abuse in relationships, the fear of speaking out, recognising the signs of domestic violence and feeling empowered to do something about it. JLS star Marvin Humes said, “The film was amazing. I was just talking to Lucy and the young people who are part of the crew and it’s amazing.”

Beats and Brains project worker Lucy Sheldon said, “Respect Me challenges some of the biggest taboos around domestic g g g people p p that domestic violence, and highlights to yyoung

violence is not just physical but emotional. Beats and Brains has always focused on positive relationships, and the young people have been amazing- they wrote the script, acted the scenes, helped edit the film and created the tracks backing it.”

The movie launches at an official screening at Nottingham Forest Football Club on February 14th at 7pm with the young people, their families and VIP’s invited to the screening.

Complete with red carpet and non-alcoholic drinks reception, Respect Me will be shown as well as performances from the young people who have worked on the movie.

Base 51 Business Development Manager Damian Chapman added, “Nottingham has been successfully running the Man Enough Campaign to highlight the issue around domestic violence, and Respect Me is young people standing together and saying with one voice, Respect Me.” Contact Details: Base 51, 29-31 Castle Gate, Nottingham, NG1 7AR Tel: 0115 952 5040.

People of Nottingham diocese bring a gift of hope to those hungry for change People across Nottingham diocese will be taking part in CAFOD’s annual Lent appeal to raise funds for those in the world who do not have enough to eat.

Churches and schools around the diocese will be putting on a number of activities to raise funds and awareness for those around the world who go hungry, such as organising an Emmaus Meal, a frugal Fast Day lunch, a fundraiser, or a big card signing, to mark the annual Lent Fast Day on Friday, February 22, 2013.

Hunger is the world’s biggest health risk, killing more people annually than the combined effect of diseases such as AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis. Currently, 870 million people go to bed hungry every night, millions of them children, even though there is enough food in the world to feed everyone.

Across the world, the price of basic food is expected to double by 2030. In developing countries people spend up to 70% of their income on food, while in richer countries people spend between 10-20% of their income on food.

CAFOD is focussing this Lent on the story of Tabita, from Kenya. Drought hit the community where Tabita’s family lives three years ago. All their livestock – apart from two cows and a goat – died as a result. The whole family became emaciated and Tabita herself suffered from malnutrition.

The milk from the goat kept the child alive. The goat, paid for by CAFOD, had been given to the family by CAFOD’s partner in the area, the Catholic Diocese of Maralal.

CAFOD’s manager for Nottingham, Marie Molloy said: “This Lent Fast Day we are continuing our focus on food and hunger by asking the Catholic community to be hungry for change – to fast and give alms to support people like Tabita from Kenya. Three years ago she lay close to death

Tabita and her goat in Maralal, Kenya with malnutrition. She survived because her parents fed her the nourishing milk of a hardy breed of goat, provided by CAFOD supporters like those in our diocese.

“One in eight people in the world don’t have enough food for themselves and their families. It shouldn’t be this way so we’re asking people to do what theycan – fast, pray, and give money – to make a difference.”

As well as the Lent Appeal, CAFOD is also running the Hungry for Change Campaign, which looks at how the way food is grown, sold and shared out is not working for the world’s people. Take action by sending a message to David Cameron calling for power to be shared between rich and poor so that everyone has enough to eat.

Woman fined after insulting dog she named after neighbour A woman in China who named her dog after her neighbour and swore at it repeatedly has been ordered to pay £500 in compensation.

Hu Lin had fallen out with her neighbour, Wang Sun, after they butted heads over a building extension to his home six years ago.

‘To get her own back she named her dog Wang and then whenever she saw me she would start swearing and insulting the

dog using my name,’ Wang said during the proceedings at the courthouse in Gansu province, northern China.

For the first time, I was truly impressed by the progress in augmented technology having spent the last seven or so years watching launches of many non-starter augmented reality.

This technology integrates apps in the mobile phones and tablets and brings magazines and print items to life.

Niha and I were greatly impressed when we saw Trevor Coker bring NRG Fuel magazine to life. I am more convinced than ever before that augmented technology has great potential especially on advertising, shopping experiences, gaming, movies and in storytelling, more so in children’s books.

What is it?

Augmented reality (AR) is a radical piece of technology that that enables people to view real-life scenes in publications such as adverts, children’s book, games, posters and leaflets via mobile See examples here: device. In addition to viewing these real life scenes, it give offers • Happy Feet Poster: https://vimeo.com/32517241 the user’s ability to interact with the scene by giving further • Asics Magazine Ad: https://vimeo.com/41366462 information, contents and instructions on the device’s screen.

It took us to videos, adverts, experiences with products and service users and interactions with I believe AR is truly ready to impacting on the future of advertisements. advertisement and marketing.

This technology represents the future of how we use our mobile devices by bringing the physical and virtual worlds together for Contact Trevor Coker on the first time.

Pointing it at a children’s story book brings the story to Consultancy life by reading aloud through the storyteller’s voice and possibly

watching characters in the story.

Available on smart devices, AR was created out of technology that is capable of recognizing images, symbols and objects in the real world and understanding them. It can then deliver digital content in real time, including videos, animations, audio or web pages.

Coker-Swinscoe Consultancy’s projects currently work on the iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPad 2, iPad3 and more powerful Android smart phones and tablets.

What can it do for us?

Our greatest excitement is in how AR will be used in bringing advertisements to life. AR will help us to give advertisers better and more fulfilling experience in Mojatu magazine and other publications. Enabling readers of magazines and other print products to engage more fully with the contents is a major breakthrough for the print industry.

Using augmented reality in your marketing will increase visibility of your product or service. Once you see AR in action, you will be greatly impressed when you visualize how it could be used to really enhance a lot of static experiences by making them come alive. As it is cutting edge and new it creates a wow factor for your brand.

Examples of use could range from bringing a simple picture or poster to life, creating instructional videos by simply pointing your device at a product. This is enhanced further by linking the app to most of the common social media channels thus providing greater opportunities to share advertisers’ products and services online.

Do not take my word for it. You have to see how this works for you to truly appreciate how AR works. This will help you see the virtually limitless use that AR can be put into.

African Community Nottingham (ACN): An Extra Pair of Hands The idea to form a group that will increase success of the established organisations focusing on African communities came to fruition in June 2012. It was conceived by Patrice Musarurwa, Wonderson Chideya, Michael Richard and Yami Mvula.

ACN is an extra pair of hands that complements the efforts by the established African oriented groups.

For those who have dealt with many African businesses and groups in Nottingham, you realise the gaping gap and the dire need for support, especially those that offer specialist products and services.

Many individuals and organisations are doing a great job by raising awareness on issues affecting Africans. These individuals deserve the encouragement, support and appreciation from the community.

Patrice and Wonderson promoting ACN in BBC Nottingham in 2012

ACN plan is simple. Creation of a platform where any group or individual within Nottingham will be able to showcase what they do or can do for the community. There is a large number of Africans in Nottingham of different races but with shared African interests and connections, both past and

present. These include marriage, family, friends, peer groups and acquaintances.

Nottingham also boasts of a sizeable number of active African students who belong to a variety of student groups due to the two great universities here. There is need to encourage these students to get involved in the wider African community in Nottingham.

Mr Michael Richard, an African student from Nottingham Trent University was shocked when he realised that lots of Africans live here after having spent the whole of his first year wandering around Nottingham but could not find any African community he could associate with.

“Thanks to ACN now I have been able to meet lots of Africans and enjoyed many events and even had yams and Nigerian foods. I am part of the ACN which is active in looking around the wide African community for goods and services”, said Michael.

“Once in a while l needed some pounded yam or a place l could sit down for some African food but could find none. I have found no adverts in the local papers for African shops, entertainment or cultural activities. It is quite sad and lonely here.

I hope ACN will help address these weaknesses” said Miss Adimu Tafsiri of Nottingham University.

ACN has been active in facilitating active commitment from all stake holders to come out and showcase what they can offer to the community.

Achievements In 2012, ACN donated blankets to Trinity children home in Kampala, Uganda. It partnered with Braai King Barbeque to offer delicious Sunday meals and exciting time for everyone in raising funds to support Trinity Home in Uganda.

ACN is also encouraging business people to seek synergy and further co-operation instead of destructive competition and individualism often found among most businesses. They should take advantage of the platform that has been set up by ACN for networking, sharing ideas, seeking advice and getting free or discounted support in all areas of business.

A women’s group has also been set up within ACN. It meets regularly to

discuss matters around the home, raising children, morale, upholding cultural values, relationships, etc.

Youth are also encouraged to be proactive. The chairman, Wonderson, strongly believes in the energy of youth. He believes that youth need the community’s trust and backup so that they can be confident enough to pursue their goals. He has taken it upon himself to mentor a young musician, AR Mulah, who has taken Nottingham by storm with his barbeques, social interaction, dialogue and networking.

How to be successful: There is a question many people ask, why are some people more successful? Is it smartness?

Working harder? Risk takers? Having powerful and influential friends?

Investor’s Business Daily (IBD) research concluded that the following 10 reasons account for these differences in levels of success. These IBD 10 Secrets to Success are: 1.How you think is everything: Always be positive. Think Success, not Failure. Beware of a negative environment. Your belief that you can accomplish your goals has to be unwavering. The moment you say to yourself “I can’t…”, then you won’t. Positive things happen to positive people.

2.Decide upon Your True Dreams and Goals: Write down your specific goals and develop a plan to reach them. Remember, a New Year’s resolution that isn’t written down is just a dream, and dreams are not goals. Goals are those concrete, measurable stepping stones of achievement that track your progress towards your dreams.

3.Take Action. Goals are nothing without action.

Do something every day towards your goals. It may be small, but it’s still an action.

Events

4.Never Stop Learning: Go back to school or read books. Get training & acquire skills. Become a lifelong learner.

18

5.Be Persistent and Work Hard: Success is a marathon, not a sprint. Never give up.

6.Learn to Analyse Details: Get all the facts, all the input. Learn from your mistakes. Avoid making decisions with incomplete data – both are traits of successful people. Spend time gathering details, but don’t catch ‘analysis paralysis’.

7.Focus Your Time And Money: Don’t let other people or things distract you. Remain laser focused on your goals and surround yourself with positive people that believe in you. Don’t be distracted by the naysayer’s or tasks that are not helping you achieve your goals.

8.Don’t Be Afraid To Innovate: Be different.

Following the herd is a sure way to mediocrity.

Follow through on that break-out idea you have.

Ask yourself “What would I do if I wasn’t afraid?”

9. Deal And CommunicateWith People Effectively: No person is an island. Learn to understand and motivate others. Successful people develop and nurture a network and they only do that by treating people openly, fairly and many times firmly.

10. Be Honest And Dependable: Take responsibility, otherwise numbers 1 – 9 won’t matter.

Happy Jubilee Kenyans! I believe that it everybody’s New Year, indeed our Kenyan Year of Jubilee, the year of the desire to experience this year of Jubilee for our Nation, Lord’s favour! We will be able to set our goals, and graciously Kenya, with a positive difference. It is my prayer that we will work towards them. We shall surely get there!

Paul would not allow the past to blur his vision. He chose all experience a fulfilled year in all that we will do.

Successful people learn from the past without dwelling on it. They learn from it and then they let it go and move on; they press on towards a new horizon, they “press on to reach the mark!”

What is your New Year’s resolution? Will you press on, forget the past, and aim towards the goal God has set for you?

You and I can do it...we only need to be strong and courageous...the Lord has promised to be with us now and always. Amen!

Shalom and many blessings in the New Year!

Paul had experienced very hard times during his ministry. He had been imprisoned many times, he had been flog matched severely, exposed to death again and again, he had been lashed, beaten up and also stoned. In fact he was in prison as he sent this message to the Philippians.

He lived in constant danger during his missionary journeys across the Roman Empire.

But one thing that Paul did was to choose to forget his negative experiences, and to press forward towards the goal that had been set before him, and resolved to win the prize that God had called him for. With this kind of attitude, Paul ended up writing more than half of the New Testament through great perseverance.

He resolved never to look back, and by choosing to press on, he grew in grace more and more. This was the secret of his successful ministry which has affected billions of people in the world today!

The point is, successful people don’t look back, they persist, they press on, they remain focussed on their goals, and they never stop pushing forward. It is important to be honest about your failures and misfortunes, but also be able to say... nevertheless, I will press on! You must always remember that you will never be in it alone, for he who watches over you neither sleeps nor does he slumber!

With this spirit, we will be able to capture a new vision in this

Isaiah 43:18-19 “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past, see I am doing a new thing, so says the Lord”

Tours & Travel

In Phil. 3:13 Paul says: “One thing I do, forgetting what is behind and straining towards what is ahead”.

to forget what was behind and to strain towards what was ahead...”towards the goal, to win a prize” We cannot afford to live in the past. We must not be crippled by the memories of the past. We cannot move on with life if we stayed in the past. We can’t afford to live in regrets or self-pity.

We must not let our past misfortunes keep us down. We must not allow the past to control us or manipulate us!

Lifestyle

It is “the year of the Lord’s favour”!!

One thing that could help us to do this effectively is to develop an attitude of being honest with ourselves.

The living Word of God offers inexhaustible principles for a successful life, which are available to help us resist the demoralizing negativity that prevents us from leading a fruitful life and reaching our goals.

One example is found in Philippians 3:12-21, where Paul faces his life realistically, and decides to deal with his present and his future.

A late New Year message: Let optimism enhance your health and wealth Another New Year—and with all the gloom-laden headlines and personal or family experiences recently you could be forgiven for greeting 2013 with less than optimistic enthusiasm. It is “the year of the Lord’s favour”!!

1. Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will hear it in your voice.

It is too easy to forget the energy of last year, but as it is often the case, looking back at those months is a great motivator and a good way of moving into the future.

Personally, the loss of my Dad just before Christmas was a great setback but instead of mourning, I chose to celebrate his life because of the many positive things he ingrained in my life and will forever live by.

Like me, this is the time to build on those inspiring times and to keep the promises that you might have made yourself – to take up a new course, create more family time, change your job, start a business or finally do more for your community or church.

2013 is the year to change and improve one’s life - whether in a big or small way. My 2013 wish is to call for the optimist in all of us to be given space. Personally I have resolved to be more positive and energetic this year.

Consider adding these resolutions to your existing list to enhance your well-being thus promoting your health and wealth.

3. Spend some time alone.

2. When you realise you’ve made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.

4. Don’t let a little dispute injure a great friendship.

5. Remember the three R’s: Respect for self; Respect for others; and Responsibility for all your actions.

6. When you lose, don’t lose the lesson.

7. Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk.

8. Talk slowly but think quickly 9. Don’t judge people by their relatives 10. When someone asks a question you don’t want to answer, smile and ask, ‘’why do you want to know’’ 11. In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling.

12. Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt, but it’s the only way to live life completely.

13. Don’t laugh at anyone’s dreams. People who don’t have dreams don’t have much.

14. Be engaged at least six months before you get married.

And marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other.

15. Give people more than they expect t and do it cheerfully.

And when you say ‘’I am sorry,’’ look the person in the eye.

Remember, life is short. Break the rules so that you forgive quickly, love truly and laugh uncontrollably.

As you do don’t forget, worry looks around, sorry looks back BUT faith looks up.

I encourage you to look up.

expensive and my car is paid off, it won’t change the fact that he grips my headboard when he rocks my world and screams like a girl, something you probably don’t even know about the man you married.

Trust me the more you come after me the more he wants me, the more money he spends on me, the more intense our sex sessions get.

A true amainini like me will never ask him to leave you, instead she encourages him to stay with you for the rest of our lives. So relax, your kids are priority numero uno, even to us, we pick out toys and clothes he shows up with, we encourage bonding time. Consider yourself lucky if you find my number, at least you know he is taken care of when you are tired, and he will come right back once we are done re-furbishing my apartment.

Oh and trust me, I do the fighting for us, it’s my job to make sure it’s just us two, any others will be dealt with severely by me, so do not ruin your manicure, I get a weekly one so its ok, let me do it for us. I respect you, hence I stay away from family functions and make sure I take all my stuff out of the car when I was there, I do not call after he has left the office because I know it’s your turn. I have my own things, the rest is just a bonus for having a kind and sharing attitude, I am a professional with a great job and do not have time for a fulltime relationship: YOURS AMAINI.

Well. Firstly I don’t want this to seem like I don’t respect the boundaries of marriages, but as amainini (girlfriend), this is my point of view........

Ladies, we don’t intentionally go hunting for your husbands, we meet them every day like you meet people, through friends, at the supermarket, at work functions hell even on the side of the road. We don’t always know from the start that the man is married because a lot of these brothers don’t wear rings or come with a stamp saying “taken”. Half the time he is alone, there is no trace of you, even in his car.

It takes a well trained eye to sport traces of another woman, e.g seatbelt perfume, weave strands, hair oil on the headrest, etc. My job in your relationship is to give him a break from reality, yes you and the kids are real but so are the bills and school fees and work stress, I am where he de-stresses. I know my place; trust me I do, I know to keep quiet when you call while we are together, I know not to spend on his credit card but to ask for cash, all this is to protect you, yes you, from pain, humiliation and suffering, I get a tired frustrated man and send you a well-rested happy man, thank me don’t disrespect me for it.
