The events leading to the Biafran secession and the Nigerian Civil War itself were the most tragic and important in the history of Nigeria. They have also been silenced. Much is forgotten; what little is remembered is selectively constructed, as was much written at the time. There were fine analytical accounts and copious documentations of these events published in the early 1970s.

The Nigerian Civil War, also known as the Biafran War, lasted from 1967 to 1970, and resulted in the deaths of over a million people. The secession of Biafra was a response to perceived marginalization against the Igbo people, and grievances regarding representation and power. Gavin Williams argues that despite almost sixty years since end of the war, its legacy continues to shape Nigerian society and politics today.

With fantasy baseball in full swing, you’ve likely been reading all the great content in our fantasy baseball draft guide here at Fantasy Alarm, as well as partaking in many fantasy baseball mock drafts and best ball contests. When looking at some of your teams, you may notice that the elite talent at second base dries up rather quickly, and once you get beyond the likes of Zack Gelof and Nolan Gorman, it gets rather dicey at second base.

As we get closer and closer to the start of the 2024 MLB season, fantasy baseball mock drafts turn to live drafts. By now you should have a firm grasp on whether you’re taking stud pitchers early on like Gerrit Cole, Spencer Strider, Corbin Burnes, or Zack Wheeler. But you do so at the detriment of missing out on the best bats at the top of the board. And pitchers may only give you one performance each week while hitters are daily contributors in fantasy baseball.

With the increasing pace of change, claims adjusters now find themselves polarized with both extreme challenges as well as tremendous opportunities. Credit: Mego-Studio/Adobe Stock It’s the early 2000s, if you were working in EC3 you might remember the sight of claims brokers queueing, with vast claims folders under their arms, patiently waiting to see the Lloyd’s syndicate or insurance company claims adjuster, to discuss the finer details of their clients’ claim.

MAPLE — In the fall district newsletter, the condition of our football field was mentioned as an item that needs improvement. The turf field was installed in 2008, which means that it is the oldest turf field in the state of Wisconsin. Since 2008, our field has gone through a lot. Turf is supposed to last about eight years, and our field is going on 15 and counting. Having a turf field is a fantastic benefit when it is in prime condition, but it is also something that requires a lot of maintenance.
