  6. "Last year’s proposals to tweak the #PIP assessment criteria last year were criticised for making it effectively harder to claim, especially for people with mental health conditions. With over 100 #Labour MPs rebelling over the plans, it’s unlikely any change would take a similar approach. But the focus on #MentalHealth conditions in Sir Stephen’s report indicates that some change around mental health and #benefits can be expected."

  8. Friends with benefits implies the existence of friends with malefits.

    And of friends with fits. These are friends that don't bring benefits or malefits.

  9. Overview of the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON) by Lawson Akhigbe

    The Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON) represents one of Nigeria’s most significant financial interventions in response to systemic banking distress. Its debt enforcement history reflects a blend of aggressive statutory powers, evolving legislative enhancements, notable operational successes, persistent challenges, and occasional perceptions of uneven application influenced by political or economic factors. Below is a thorough, chronological exploration of AMCON’s enforcement journey, including context, key mechanisms, statistics, notable cases (with nuances around the Ben Murray-Bruce/Silverbird matter), challenges, and broader implications.

  10. Five Habits of Great Musicians

    Behind every remarkable musician is a set of habits that shape their growth long before the audience hears the applause. While talent may open the door, it is daily discipline that keeps it open.

    Here are five habits that consistently set great musicians apart:

    1. They Practice with Purpose:

    Great musicians don’t just spend time practicing—they practice with intention. They identify areas for improvement, set clear goals, and focus on making each session meaningful rather than simply putting in hours.

    2. They Never Stop Learning:

    Music is constantly evolving. Whether through books, mentors, masterclasses, or listening to others, great musicians remain lifelong students. They understand that every experience offers something new to learn.

    3. They Welcome Feedback:

    Constructive feedback is not a threat—it’s a tool for growth. Great musicians seek honest input, reflect on it, and use it to refine their skills and broaden their perspective.

    4. They Value Character as Much as Skill:

    Technical ability may earn opportunities, but integrity, humility, reliability, and respect build lasting relationships. Great musicians understand that who they are is just as important as what they can do.

    5. They Stay Consistent:

    Success is rarely the result of one outstanding performance. It is built through countless moments of preparation, perseverance, and commitment. Great musicians continue showing up, even when progress seems slow, because they trust the process.

    Developing these habits won’t make you successful overnight, but they will steadily shape you into the kind of musician others trust, respect, and remember.

    Reflection

    Which of these five habits is your greatest strength, and which one do you need to develop further?

    “Every accomplished musician is the product of small, intentional habits repeated consistently with discipline over time.” — Victor Adenola

  20. Daytime TV Politics and the Social Care Abyss: Why Prime Minister Burnham’s Cross-Party Table Is Missing the Point by Lawson Akhigbe

    When Prime Minister Andy Burnham called for a cross-party "consensus" on social care, you could practically hear the collective sigh of relief from Westminster’s pundit class. “Ah, marvelous,” they purred. “The grown-ups are finally taking their seats.”

  22. Busy Beavers - The Turbidity Signature Of Ecosystem Engineers At Work

    H/T @alan Puttock
    “Beavers are the quintessential ecosystem engineers. In slow-flowing streams, they create complex wetlands with ponds by building dams and canals that can positively impact biodiversity, hydrology and water quality. These activities can interchangeably capture or release sediment along the watercourse. To date this has not been quantified at the resolution of rainfall events or beaver activity. This study used 15-min frequency, sustained monitoring upstream and downstream of a newly establishing beaver wetland to measure episodic changes in water turbidity at an event resolution. Monitoring showed no significant differences between upstream and downstream turbidity over 160 days when the first pair of beavers, known not to be building dams or canals, were resident. Shortly after introduction of another beaver pair, however, dam building, burrows and canal excavations were quickly observed, resulting in the creation of a complex beaver wetland between 2021 and 2024. Monitoring over 375 days during this period showed significant differences. Downstream turbidity was significantly higher overall than upstream: 13.1 Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTU) compared to 4.2 NTU. Stochastic spikes in downstream turbidity during the study period not recorded upstream were associated with dam building and burrowing. Overall, there was no significant difference in turbidity loads, which was at least partially explained by a reduction in discharge downstream, particularly in higher flows, during the dam building period. This demonstrates a complex system with the trapping of influent sediment, the storing of water and the periodic release of beaver wetland sediment leading to net balance in loads. These results help provide context for other studies which have used temporally discrete sampling campaigns rather than continuous high-frequency monitoring. They provide a unique insight into the downstream impacts of a rapidly developing beaver wetland over its first three and a half years in a landscape that hasn't had beavers for over 400 years…"

  33. Start Where You Are; Your Music Journey Begins Now

    Have you ever felt a deep passion for music but never quite knew how or where to start? Or you have started but not clear about bringing your musical ideas into a reality.

    Many people love music but get stuck waiting for the perfect time. Maybe you’ve quit before, or feel like you’ve missed your chance.

    There’s really no perfect moment — only the one you have now. Every great musician began uncertain, just like you.

    Just Start

    Start small. Start with what you already have. Sing, practice, or write one line today. Use all the available resources.

    Be Consistent
    Stay consistent. Make a rehearsal or learning plan. Paste it on the board. View it everyday. A 10 minutes daily practice beats 2 hours once a month.

    Be Patient
    Perfection is attainable but the focus should be a consistent progress so you don’t get weary. Forget perfection at the start. Just ensure that you make progress daily no matter how little. Progress is what matters. A continuous progress will eventually lead to a perfection.

    Connect
    Connect with others. Stay around people who encourages you. Find a community that can help you thrive. Growth happens in community. Sign up for Music lessons. Get a coach or personal trainer.

    Music Isn’t Just Art

    The world still needs your sound. Music isn’t just art — it’s your voice, your sound, your story, your message.

    It’s never too late to get it done.
