Mumbai: The Marlon Samuels' saga seems to be coming to an end. The Maharashtra government is likely to close the alleged match-fixing case against the West Indian all-rounder saying it has found no evidence.
This development comes less than a week after the Nagpur Police stunned the cricketing world with taped disclosures of Marlon Samuels and a suspected bookie Mukesh Kochchar.
Samuels had apparently giving out crucial details about the West Indies team to the bookie before the Nagpur ODI on Jauary 21 on the telephone from his room (Room No 206) in Hotel Pride.
The most striking revelation was that Samuels would bowl first change in the Nagpur ODI.
A part of the transcript:
Kochchar: When do you get onto bowl?
206: Unclear
Kochchar: Which over would you be bowling?
206: One down.
Kochchar: Who all will be bowling tomorrow?
206: Yes i will be bowling?
Kochchar: Bradshaw and Taylor will open. Will you be third?
206: Taylor will be fourth bowler.
It was also revealed that Samuels stayed back in Mumbai for two days after the series finished on January 31 which was also discussed..
Kochchar: Are you going back to Bombay (Mumbai)?
206: Most probably maybe.
Kochchar: I'll come there and join you.
206: I will stay there for a couple of days.
The West Indies team strategy was also discussed.
Kochchar: What do you think, who will bat?
206: Well
Kochchar: Who, who?
206: Dwayne he making a debut tomorrow.
Kochchar: New batsman or bowler.
206: No, he is an all-rounder.
Kochchar: He's good.
206: Eer.. yes, he's making his debut.

The Low down on a childrens disco
Children especially those of the age ranging between 10-11 years are a playful lot: kids at this age are an active and energetic lot, they need their imaginations firing up and plenty of movement to keep them entertained. If you want kids to have a good time you must ensure that they have a perfect childrens disco; here are a few tips on children's disco for kids to celebrate the fact that they are going on to secondary schools;
1. Children might want to have interactive entertainment
Children may want a children s comedian who will properly engage with them. This performer should be able to take to the dance floor so that he can throw down the latest dance moves and routines and get the kids to join in. Children will always be happy with a charming person who engages on their level.
2. Party games can be used to involve the children
Elimination games are a no-no for kids; they don't like them. If any of the kids gets knocked out of a game, they will always get upset, bored and can walk off leading to a distraction of that event. Here are a few games that kids love while on the dance floor
* Musical statues
Any time the music stops, children need to be allowed to act like animals e.g. doing the snappy crocodile or even a swishing elephant. It's always a good thing for parents when they see their children participate in doing imitations. The games can also be themed depending on the occasion e.g. during Halloween or Christmas parties.
* Limbo
This is amongst the most loved games by children. Instead of children just walking under the pole, they must be asked to do some comical action. This game ensures interaction apart from adding fun to event.
* Pass the parcel
This is a lengthy game that produces one winner in the end. A coloured parcel box is passed around between the children while the music is being played in the background. Each kid picks a present from that box but in the end, the one that is celebrating his/her birthday will pick more presents.
3. Using a DJ who knows how to keep the kids entertained
Picking a good DJ goes a long way in ensuring that kids have a good time. Pick a boring DJ for a childrens disco and the party is only going to end one way…. in tears for all concerned, kids and teachers alike!

The Performance has one intermission
Giselle (French: Giselle ou les Wilis) is a ballet in two acts with a libretto by Jules-Henri Vernoy de Saint-Georges and Theophile Gautier, music by Adolphe Adam, and choreography by Jean Coralli and Jules Perrot. The librettist took his inspiration from a poem by Heinrich Heine. The ballet tells the story of a lovely peasant girl named Giselle who has a passion for dancing, and when she finds out the man she loves is engaged to someone else she dies of a broken heart.
Libretto: Vernoy de Saint-Georges, Theophile Gautier and Jean Coralli
World premiere: 28 June 1841, Theatre de l'Academie Royal de Musique, Paris
Premiere in St Petersburg: 18 December 1842, Bolshoi Theatre
Premiere Marius Petipa's version: 5 February 1884, Bolshoi Theatre, St'Petersburg
Act I
Count Albert has fallen in love with a peasant girl, Giselle, though she is ignorant of his rank and believes him to be a simple villager staying in a nearby cottage. Giselle has another suitor, Hans, a gamekeeper, who is suspicious and jealous of Albert. Albert arrives to court Giselle. The young lovers´ encounter is interrupted by Hans, who warns Giselle against trusting this unknown admirer, but Giselle does not heed his advice, and Albert drives Hans away. The sound of horns announces the arrival of a hunting party, amongst whom are Albert´s betrothed, Princess Bathilde, and her father. By chance, they are seeking rest and refreshment in the village, and Bathilde, charmed by Giselle´s innocence and beauty, gives her a gold necklace. When the hunting party retires, the peasants begin to celebrate the new vintage, but Hans has meanwhile searched Albert´s cottage and discovered his sword, proof of his identity. At the height of the festivities, he unmasks Albert. However, Giselle does not believe her lover´s deception. Hans then summons the hunters, who bow before their Count, while Bathilde fondly greets the embarrassed young nobleman. The shock unsettles Giselle´s reason; in her madness, she relives her love for Albert and then, heartbroken, dies.
Act II
Hans enters in sorrow. He has come at midnight to visit Giselle´s tomb in the forest, but is frightened away by the approach of the Willis, the ghosts of girls who died on the eve of their wedding; arising at night from their tombs, they will dance any man they encounter to death. Myrtha, the Queen of the Wilis, summons Giselle from her tomb and initiates her into their order, but the Willis disperse at the arrival of Albert and his attendant, who are seeking Giselle´s grave. As the young Count grieves at the tomb, Giselle appears; unbelieving, he tries to catch her, but she eludes his grasp. At last, touched by Albert´s sincere grief and despair, she forgives him. Hans enters, pursued by the Wilis, who drive him to his death in the lake and then surround Albert, whom Myrtha insists must dance to death. He begs Myrtha for mercy, and Giselle pleads for him, but the Queen is adamant and, as Albert dances, Giselle tries to sustain him with her love. Dawn breaks; with the daylight, the Wilis´ power is at an end and they disappear, leaving Albert to bid a last farewell to Giselle.
Giselle - a young, pretty seamstress with a weak heart who falls in love with Albrecht.
Albrecht - the romantic hero. A prince who is in love with Giselle but is engaged to Bathilde.
Hilarion - the village gamekeeper who is in love with Giselle.
Berthe - Giselle's mother. Wilred - Albrecht's squire.
Bathilde - Albrecht's fiancee. Myrta - the queen of the wilis.

Fritz Coleman is NBC4's weathercaster on the weekday editions of "Channel 4 News," airing at 5, 6 and 11 p.m. A Southern California broadcasting icon, Coleman is well known for his sense of humor and extensive knowledge of weather. He joined NBC4 in February 1982, as the weekend weathercaster, and moved up to weekdays in June 1984.
A long-time stand-up comic, Coleman has performed at The Improvisation, The IceHouse and other Southern California comedy clubs. He has utilized his humor in a number of series and specials that have aired on NBC4 over the years including "What a Week" (1990 - 1991), "It's Fritz" (1988-1990), "Fritz and Friends" (Special) and "The Perils of Parenting" (Special). He received four Los Angeles area Emmy Awards for his work on the NBC4 comedy specials and series.
Coleman has written, produced and starred in three one-man plays. His first production "It's Me! Dad!' won the coveted 1997 Artistic Directors Award. A humorous and touching account of what happens when a "baby boomer" tries to recount his own life for his young children, the play shows how the father comes to grips with the passage of time and the skeletons in his own closet. The production also aired successfully on public television in Los Angeles.
"The Reception," Coleman's second play, is an insightful and hilarious look at relationships found at an imaginary wedding reception, the bride's second marriage, the groom's third. His most recent play, "Tonight at 11!" is an insider's look at a typical local newscast. A rollercoaster ride between funny and poignant, Daily Variety called it, "surprising, incisive and powerful."
Coleman moved to Los Angeles in 1980 from Buffalo, New York, where he worked as an on-air radio personality. Prior to that, he was a disc jockey and radio talk show host at various stations throughout the country. From 1980 until he joined NBC4 in 1982, he worked as a stand-up comic at various clubs throughout Southern California. He has also made a number of appearances on the "Tonight Show" and other non-scripted and scripted television programs.
Originally from Philadelphia, Coleman attended Salem College in West Virginia and Temple University in Philadelphia where he studied radio, television and film. Coleman is an avid runner, rollerblader and skier. He lives in the San Fernando Valley and has two sons and a daughter.

Pelosi Ain't No Comic
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has, for some reason, felt it necessary to come out with an anti-Stephen Colbert video. I get it that Democrats, whom Pelosi leads, are reintroducing the Disclose Act, which failed once at getting PAC money out of politics. Now the dems need some buzz and what better way at getting some cheap buzz than by trying to draft on Colbert's attention getting South Carolina primary commercial.
So here is an 'F' for originality. The other 'F' Pelosi is missing is FUNNY. Colbert's commercial is priceless because it is funny by being over the top in dealing with a serious subject matter. The dems created a milk toast production poking fun at no one, unless you think saying someone does not like cats is cutting edge comedy!
Nancy, stick to speakering and avoid stand-up at all costs!

Though we want to wince at the word fusion, sometimes conjoining two cultural cuisines can result in tastastic noms. Case in point: The Basque Market's mac and cheese croquetas. The crunchy, salty balls take all the comfort of the gooey American classic and then Basquify them by dredging them in flour and dumping 'em in the deep fryer. Mmmmm, Basquemerican.

Enough Already
Stretching, yawning, another sip of coffee, sigh…….
Wake up loves! We have shit to blog about and today's subject is about what we have in our lives.
Bet you thought I was going to go off on an anger rant with the subject being Enough Already, No Loves, it's not "Enough Already!!"
It's, Do you have enough money? Enough clothes? Shoes? Enough cars?
When is it enough?
Have you ever noticed that sometimes in our minds we think we don't have enough? I'm guilty of this as well.
Look around you and take in everything you have. I'm not talking just the materialistic things. Think about this air we're breathing, roof over our heads, jobs, family, friends, sight, feelings, the list goes on and on.
Often I take for granted everything that I have and want more. Of course, it's fantastic to have goals and want more in life. I'm not saying that shouldn't be programmed into your mind. But, we also need to be grateful for every single thing that we do have in our lives.
I live a very ordinary lifestyle. No designer hand bags here. No Jimmy Choo or Steve Madden shoes. My house is a little cottage style house with a $600 monthly mortgage payment. I drive a decent car, payment is affordable, I don't get manicures often at all. I'm a low maintenance type of chic.
I've noticed lately that women and men are caught up having the best of the best from cell phones, Ipads, jewelry, etc.
How about we take in the beauty around us that we've worked hard for and be thankful for how far we've come and how our lives are pretty fantastic.
Do you have enough in this moment? I bet you do. I know I do.
I ask you this, the next time you just have to have that coach purse or that new Call Of Duty video game, how about you do a random act of kindness for someone?
Use that money to buy someone's dinner at the restaurant you're at. You see the guy eating alone three tables over? Tell the waitress to bring you his tab. If that's too much, the next time you're at Starbucks pay for the car behind you in the drive thru.
I do this type of thing once a week. I'm not wealthy by all means. I'm a middle class chic that lives a normal lifestyle. I just choose to give back because I look at my life as enough. Sure I have hopes and dreams and goals but I also have a beautiful magnificent life.
By doing things like RAOK it shows that humanity is still among us and that we're caring individuals and want to give back. It's not only a wonderful thing to do for someone else but it's an incredible feeling doing something nice for a complete stranger.
Do we have enough? I believe we all do. Be happy and thankful for what you have while working for what you need.

Getting more visitors to the website is of paramount importance to all businesses around the world. However, large amount of traffic will not make a difference unless those visitors are converted into customers. It is very important to promote your products to potential customers (also known as "Targeted" traffic) who are searching online for those products and services. If not, then no matter how many visitors come to your site, they will not adequately convert into sales.
Therefore, it is imperative that businesses focus their online promotion activities based less on traffic, and they should be proactive in those activities that can convert visitors into customers or subscribers.
We use many different processes in order to promote businesses online, convert visitors into customers or subscribers. The two main activities that have a profound effect on the conversion rate of your website visitors into Sales, Leads are:
- Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
- Engaging Text Content
SEO helps visitors connect with your brand, products or services, whereas having well-writen text content will assist in increasing the engagement of visitors and how much time they spend on your website.
SEO and content are both crucial for the promotion of your website or brand. Content alone does not guarantee you success and SEO on it's own cannot successfully deliver engaging content to your visitors. Each activity on it's own cannot provide adequate success. Research data collected during SEO activities provides valuable insight into the targeted audience, market status, customer's taste & preferences. It also helps identify different areas of the market that would help marketers to tailor their content accordingly and take precise decisions that ensure the visitors enriched with a satisfying experience and turn them into customers.
How Fusion of SEO and Engaging Content is Beneficial For Marketeers
The recent survey conducted by Bright Edge states that:
"97% of marketers believe that SEO and content have become more converging into a single function, whereas, 3% of marketers viewing them as separate disciplines."
This fusion of SEO & Content not only ensures business owners with outstanding growth, but it also provides various lucrative opportunities that can take your website or business leaps ahead of your competitors.
Boost Your SERP
SEO data helps in focusing on trending and current topics. Creating and optimizing content accordingly can help maximize your SERP (Search Engine Results Pages).
Improves Search Visibility
Creating well-written, engaging content and utilizing SEO and research data can help deliver visitors with a satisfying user-experience that can not only turn them into customers but it also improves your visibility on the search engines.
Audience-Specific Content
Research data collected during SEO activities can help identify your suitable target audience and provide a detailed picture of their taste & preference. This also assists marketers in creating audience-specific content that can capture the true essence of your brand, products or website.
Wrap up
A complete SEO strategy planned correctly will not only augment the value of content, but it will also serve quality-grade content to the "Targeted" audience that will help you achieve your desired business goals and boost your digital visibility and will provide greater Return on Investment (ROI).

and there will be bears brewed
It's a Long Weekend!
We call it the Queen's Birthday long weekend, but of course QE2's birthday is in April. I think it was formerly known as Empire Day, but has been co-opted for a quite confusing non-birthday thing (get off my lawn, kiddies with your "happy birthday Lizzie").
I care not for the minutiae, I just care that I am not required to rock up to SML on Monday.
In my childhood (aeons ago) the Sunday of this weekend was known as "cracker night" and many a firework was purchased at newsagents, drunken adults set them off in buckets of sand, pets were traumatised and every year at least one child was left without an eye.
Crackers are now sadly banned.
I have tons of action items this weekend. Mostly these revolve around decluttering and tidying (and so much cooking).
We were awake this morning betimes because … kitties. Don was on a wait-list for Saturday jolf and was advised of a tee-time at 11.49pm last evening (of course, being Old People we were well asleep). So clearly TheUniverse was looking out for him when he was awake and checking his emails at 5:35am.
I chose to use the unexpected alone time to (amongst other things) tidy the garage – so much clutter, and do we really need those bikes?
And to tidy the sugar cupboard. Yes, we have a shelf in a cupboard which is pretty much dedicated to sugar. In the midst of cleaning I took the opportunity to take a sugar inventory (listed below):
- light muscovado
- dark muscovado
- golden caster
- raw
- yellow rock
- demerara
- raw caster
- soft light brown
- dark brown
- brown
- icing sugar
- icing mixture
- caster
- white
Yeah, we very much like baking. Except not so much now that we are on 5:2. Even more so that we have ceased with the incessant snacking on the 5. The result? So. Much. Slenderness.
Tomorrow? More jolf. I might also clean the bathroom, go for a very short run, cook foodz and construct a muslin.

i'm going to WDW in 2020, so looking to buy the 2020 edition of easy guide. when is that coming out?
Last couple have come out in late August or early September for the following year. Obviously Galaxy's Edge could affect that--if it does come out in September, they will almost certainly add an update early next year that will be available for free to anyone who already purchased that year's edition.
Im wondering too. Last one I bought was 2018. Id like to get a new copy but Ill wait in 2020 will be coming out in the next month or so. If it will be longer, I would probably get 2019 for now.
Not that I need a new one, I have 2016, 2017, 2018. And Im likely not even traveling to WDW again for 18 months or so, lol.
I was wondering about this also. I went to buy the 2020 edition and saw that it was still the 2019 being offered. A lot is changing with Galaxy's Edge and the Epcot construction so I'd like to have an edition that incorporates that info.

"Before now we (songwriters) charged between N100, 000 and N2000, 000 for a song. Today I charge as much as 1million to write a song. Truth is, Nigerian artistes have begun to appreciate songwriters. They pay me my money and appreciate me. I have written a lot of songs but I don't talk about them because Nigerian artistes don't like it when the songwriters take credit for compising songs for them."

"I can't reveal the exact amount because we work as a team. So, all the money realised is shared among us. You just want to forget all the years of suffering. It's not a mere hype because the money is there. The song is everywhere. You go to South-Africa , the girls are crazy about it."

Sources said the deceased, whom they alleged to be a regular visitor to the brothel, died while romping the prostitute.
It was gathered that immediately Chukwu slumped and died, the prostitute contacted her colleagues and the manager of the brothel who moved his corpse to a sanitary lane at the back of the brothel.
As a result of the development, shop owners around the area quickly closed business for fear of police arrest.
Those who spoke anonymously to our reporter disclosed that some staff of the brothel at about 5 p.m. brought out the corpse through their back door, dropped it at the sanitary lane and disappeared.
When our correspondent visited the area, the brothel was deserted as people were gathering at the adjoining St. Michael's Road by York Street junction and Hospital Road.
A cross section of sympathisers said the deceased might have died of a cardiac arrest or exhaustion as white foam gushed out of his mouth.
We hear say when Police reach the place where the body dey, them see ATM card, cheque book and cash of over N200,000 and Man O'war I.D card wear carry him name Ogadinma Chukwu.

This happened during a mild argument that ensued after the naval officer rammed his car into the Police officer's wife's store.
The naval officer, attached to Armed Forces Resettlement Centre, Oshodi, with service number M4351, was reportedly driving his Honda Shuttle car with number plate LSR 34 CE along Akere Street in Kirikiri when it veered off the road and rammed into a restaurant belonging to the wife of the policeman, attached to the State Criminal Investigations Department, SCID, Panti, Yaba, Lagos.
Vanguard learnt that the Police Inspector and his wife, who were sitting close to the store, escaped death by the whiskers as the wall of the store was damaged.
It was gathered that after the incident, the couple and their neighbours confronted the naval officer, who resides in Ojo Navy barracks, insisting that he must pay for the damages but he reportedly snubbed them after identifying himself as a naval personnel.
The situation took another dimension few minutes later as the wife of the Police officer rushed to Kirikiri Police division to lodge a complaint.
While there, a hot argument ensued between the Naval officer and the Police inspector who was said to have also identified himself.
Eyewitnesses told Vanguard that in the course of the argument, the Naval officer brought out his car key which he poked into the right eye of the Police inspector after which he sped off in his car.
Sympathizers chased the naval officer to an adjoining street where he was caught.
He was subsequently taken to Kirikiri Police station where he was detained. The case was later transferred to the State Criminal Investigations Department, SCID, Panti, Yaba, for further investigation.
Well, them rush the wounded policeman go Ajeromi General hospital and from there Navy hospital before them refer am go Lagos University Teaching hospital cos the beating spoil many things for the policeman body.

The incident happened at their home, 4, Abukareem Close, Afromedia Estate, Lagos State.
His wife is in a critical condition at Gbagada General Hospital after she was rejected by many hospitals.
The Delta State‑born Okoli confessed that he was angry after he did not find N70,000 he kept aside for house rent and when he asked his wife about the missing money, she was rude to him.
In anger, he took a cutlass and attacked Felicia. After the attack, she was taken to several hospitals before she was eventually admitted at Gbagada General Hospital where she is being treated.
Okoli, an elder in a Celestial Church of Christ parish at Afromedia and a spy policeman, said he did not know what came over him while carrying out the attack.
According to reports, it was not the first time Okoli was attacking Felicia with cutlass. He admitted he cut off one of Felicia's fingers during a quarrel before the current incident.
Narrating what happened, Okoli said he kept the N70,000 at home before he went to work and when he returned and checked where he kept the money, it was no longer there.
He said when he asked Felicia about the money, she was rude and started abusing him, asking him whether he was sure he kept any money at home at all.

The insurgents who went on a killing spree without any challenge from security agents also burnt down all the students' hostels, the classrooms, and about 40 houses including the council's secretariat complex, high court, government and private establishments as well as telecommunication masts.
The governor's media aide, Alhaji Abdullahi Bego confirmed that on Monday before the attack, the few soldiers stationed close to the school were redeployed without any cogent reason.
The college was the fourth educational institution attacked in the state in the last eight months. Buni Yadi is about 65 kilometres from Damaturu, the state capital, while Gujba town which witnessed a deadly attack at the College of Agriculture, last year where over 40 students were killed, is located south and about 35 kilometres from the state capital.
Inusa Danboyi, an SSS 3 student of the college was one of those killed. His father, Mallam Danboyi who wept uncontrollably at the morgue of General Sani Abacha Specialist Hospital, Damaturu, where he had gone to collect his son's corpse said: "Inusa is my son, and an SSS 3 student who aspired to get western education and was even preparing for his final SSS 3 examination. But see what fate had in stock for him".
Fear has now gripped Damaturu town following the massacre and the abduction of the students as the residents wondered why the security agents could not contain the insurgents, who appeared to be succeeding in their mission. Many parents are also saying they would seek admission for their children, especially female students in other regions of the country where there is peace.
One of the victims who did not want his name mentioned told Vanguard at the specialist hospital that "the insurgents who invaded the school gathered all the girls in one room, where they started preaching against western education and warned all of us not to return to the school, and after killing most of the female students who are mostly SSS 3 students, they absconded with over 16 girls".
Adamu Garba, who teaches at a secondary school attached to the college said he and other teachers, who ran away through the bush estimated 40 students died in the assault. Garba who spoke to Associated Press in Damaturu, where he and several other teachers fled to, said "the attackers first set ablaze the college's administrative block, then moved to the hostels, where they locked students in and started bombing the buildings. At one hostel, students were trying to climb out of the windows and they were slaughtered like sheep by the terrorists who slit their throats. Others who ran were gunned down and students who could not escape were burnt alive.
"The gunmen, in fact, had to separate the female students from their male counterparts. They opened fire on the male students including some staff of the college, before abducting many of the female students to the Sambisa Forest".
Another source working at the mortuary in General Sani Abacha Specialists Hospital in Damaturu said, "ambulance services have been bringing in bodies from Federal Government College since morning". Likewise, a senior medical source in the hospital, who is not authorized to speak to the press said: "So far, 43 bodies have been brought and are lying in the morgue".
Spokesman of the Joint Task Force (JTF) in Damaturu, Captain Eli Lazarus confirmed that there was an early morning attack on the school college in Buni Yadi by suspected terrorists, but could not give the actual number of casualties as the figures are still being collated, promising to send details to the press as soon as possible.
However, the Commissioner of Police, Mr. Sanusi Ahmed Rufai told journalists that 29 people were killed, but he was not immediately clear if all of the dead were students.
Rufai said he was on his way to the scene with Governor Ibrahim Geidam to assess the extent of the damage.
The authorities of the school, however, confirmed that 29 of its students were killed by the insurgents. Mr Ibrahim Abdul, a senior master, gave the figure while receiving Governor Ibrahim Geidam during a sympathy visit to the school. Abdul said that 11 students also sustained various gunshot wounds.
These Boko Haram people own don dey too much o. Wetin these students do them? Make Jonathan find wetin him go do these Boko haram people.

What he saw shocked him: two men were rolling in the hay with his livestock. The farmer contacted authorities who conducted their own investigation.
As a result, Michael Jones, 35, and Reid Fontaine, 31, were arrested for misdemeanor sexual misconduct, UticaOD.com reported.
Authorities said Fontaine attempted to have sex with several cows while Fontaine filmed the encounters. The two were released on an appearance ticket.
The suspects will not be the first men accused of having sex with cows. In 2008, Brazilian cleaner Getulino Ferreira Paraizo was accused of having sex with 400 cows. He said he preferred the more tranquil animals.

According to them, they had to come together to say No to this atrocious law and its blatant violation of their human rights. They also delivered a protest letter to the Nigerian High Commissioner. In the spirit of Love
that February is famous for, they hosted a kissing spree outside the embassy as they said Yes to Love and No to Hate.
Defending their right against people who use the bible to judge them, the coordinator of the protest Davis Mac-Iyalla said:
As for the Bible and scripture, I just try to do my best to live the way I believe a good person should and leave "the book" to others who do a great job twisting it into what they want to believe. I do use pieces to point out their imperfections, though, when they use it as a weapon against homosexuals. I have said it before, and I would say it again: If you want to live completely by the principal of the Ten Commandments, then show me where it was written that "thou shall not be gay."
The African church must open its mind to honest conversations. The African bishops need to stop doing the talking and start listening to the LGBT people.

Having taken special notice of reports of the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria and other investigating bodies, which indicate clearly that Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi's tenure has been characterized by various acts of financial recklessness and misconduct which are inconsistent with the administration's vision of a Central Bank propelled by the core values of focused economic management, prudence, transparency and financial discipline;
Being also deeply concerned about far-reaching irregularities under Mallam Sanusi's watch which have distracted the Central Bank away from the pursuit and achievement of its statutory mandate; and
Being determined to urgently re-position the Central Bank of Nigeria for greater efficiency, respect for due process and accountability, President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has ordered the immediate suspension of Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi from the Office of Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria.
President Jonathan has further ordered that Mallam Sanusi should hand over to the most senior Deputy Governor of the CBN, Dr Sarah Alade who will serve as Acting Governor until the conclusion of on-going investigations into breaches of enabling laws, due process and mandate of the CBN.The President expects that as Acting Governor of the Central Bank, Dr. Alade will focus on the core mandate of the Bank and conduct its affairs with greater professionalism, prudence and propriety to restore domestic and international confidence in the country's apex bank.
The Federal Government of Nigeria reassures all stakeholders in Nigeria's financial and monetary system that this decision has been taken in absolute good faith, in the overall interest of the Nigerian economy and in accordance with our laws and due process.

Police authorities said Opeyemi, a 300 level student of Biochemistry at the university, was stabbed to death by the cultists at her parents' house in the Alakuko area of Lagos on February 3, 2014.
Police sources told PUNCH Metro that investigations had revealed that the culprits were residents of the area.
A police officer, who wished to remain anonymous, said:
"In the afternoon of February 3, 2014, the deceased went to buy airtime for her telephone. As she was returning, a group of cult members trailed and entered the house with her. Opeyemi was alone at home when the guys entered. They instructed her to turn on the generator so that if she screamed, no one would hear. We believe that they wanted to rape the girl, but she must have put up a fierce struggle as the whole house was scattered. The guys subsequently stabbed her in the stomach several times and ripped out her intestines.
After killing her, they took her phone and the keys to her parents' vehicle, a jeep, which was on the table. They stole the jeep, which was parked in the compound, after killing the girl."
The sources told Punch that after the guys had fled, they used Opeyemi's telephone line to send a text message to her mother, explaining why they killed the 17-year-old.The text message, which was typed in English and Yoruba languages read:
"Your child has been proud. We have been toasting her, but she has refused to accept. We have killed her to teach a lesson. We have also driven your car away. If you want your car back, come to Lakas Hotel or Cele Bus Stop around Mile 2 to pick it up. If we see policemen around, we will kill everybody."
Residents of the area said the victim's mother, Olayinka, had a panic attack after reading the message and quickly informed those that were with her.However, a phone call from the family's housemaid was said to have confirmed Olayinka's fears that the text message was not a bluff. It was learnt that she returned to the house to meet the lifeless body of her child.
PUNCH Metro gathered that the mother of the deceased, who is a senior official at the Mushin Local Government secretariat, later reported the incident at the Alakuko Police Division. A police source told Punch that the murder weapon had been recovered.
"By all indications, the girl was not raped because her clothes were intact. The knife used in killing her has been recovered," the policeman said.
It was gathered that the parents of the girl had relocated to the Redemption Camp on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. On the young girl's Facebook page, tributes had been pouring in for the 300 level student.
When contacted on the telephone, Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Ngozi Braide, said, "I have called the Divisional Police Officer at the Alakuko Police Division and he said he was not aware of the incident."

Over time, we have been having issues with shortage of accommodation, especially for our female students; but as it stands, we are about to witness a huge relief in that regard. I must thank the first lady for agreeing to be part of the history-making event and also thank our parents for coming to partner with us," he said." he said. The project, tagged: "Dame Patience Goodluck Jonathan's Female Hostel Complex'', is expected to be completed in two years and would be financed by the parents forum of UNILAG." Prof Duro Oni said
UNILAG ey get population of 28,000 students just get hostel wey fit accomodate only just 8,000 of the undergraduates.
We hear say this new hostel go collec close to 1000 girls.

The story first surfaced on Sunday last week and in their report, The Sun claimed Giroud had spent a night in a hotel with lingerie model Celia Kay. The late-night rendezvous with Kay occurred less than 12 hours before Arsenal's game against Crystal Palace kicked off — a breach of the club's curfew.
Almost immediately, Olivier denied that Kay had visited his room when asked by Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger. He even took legal advice over the Sun story. The Sun, however, followed up the story on Sunday with this photograph of Giroud, apparently exiting the bathroom of his hotel room in only his underwear.
That was when Olivier changed his story and took to Twitter to ask for "forgiveness" on Sunday, hours before Arsenal's 2-1 win over Liverpool in the fifth round of the FA Cup. See tweets below.
Only Kay and Giroud know what actually happened that night. But Kay says she and Giroud didn't have sex that night after reports that Arsenal plans to fine Giroud, reportedly around £200,000-£230,000 ($334,100-$384,200), for his transgression.
She did, however, take a photo of the Frenchman in his underwear and pictures of her in his hotel room which she shared with The Sun newspaper last weekend.
Giroud, 27, is married to his wife Jennifer, and they have a lil baby, born last year in June, together. After the news of her hubby cheating on her went viral, Jennifer was forced to close her Twitter account after a whole lot of people bombarded her with replies, mentions and advice.
Giroud no go take him action on top field but na to follow woman sleep for hotel. Wenger suppose ban Giroud for like 10 matches sef.

But according to the 50-year old founder of the Synagogue Church of All Nations, SCOAN, he is so contented that he does not have time to engage in jealous acts.
PMNews reports TB said:
"I am contented. It's all about contentment. When you are contented and you're worth what God says you are, and you have what God says you have, and you can do what God says you can do, what else again?
When you're limited in certain areas and you see someone do what you would like to do,
definitely envy and jealousy set in. When I see someone do what I would like to do, I see it as grace. It is by emulating God that you can do what you see someone doing that you would like to do. When people attack me, I pray for them because I know that what they attack me for is what they would like to do but they cannot do it."
Asked about how he heals people by merely touching them and praying for them, he said:
"I am not the one that heals. I am not the one doing what I am doing.

The death of your colleague, MC Loph, generated a lot of controversies; it was alleged that you abandoned his mother when he died?
MC Loph and I weren't as close as people thought. I met Loph through Mr. Raw when I came to Lagos. He wanted me to produce for him the same way I was producing for Mr. Raw. Somehow, we came together
and we did the Osondi Owendi song. We later found out that we came from the same village.
Was there an issue after the song was released?
I played a very big part in the song. People would always want me to perform the song. But I couldn't. What is the essence of collaborating when you cannot play the song? It didn't make any sense. He said people told him I was performing his song. I felt, 'oh, it is now your song?' That was the last time we really spoke to each other. I decided to 'free' him.
So he told you not to perform the song?
Yes. He didn't pay me to feature in the song. My voice was significant in the song. He was more popular than me in Lagos then. But I was more popular in the East. So if I was called to come and perform at shows, I would tell them to call MC Loph and pay him since I couldn't feature the song. I did a song with Tiwa. I don't mind if she performs the song. People would think of Flavour if she performs the song. That is the essence of collaboration. I don't even rap. I wouldn't have tried to take his line because I don't know how to rap.
Did you ever meet his mother?
I met his mother just once in my life. We went for a show at Nnewi (Anambra State) and we passed through our village. He got down to see his mother and I followed him. I greeted her and I gave her money that day. She was very happy. We left. I was surprised when people started saying I abandoned his mother when he died. It is not fair to talk about this since he is no more. But then, I feel it is time I became honest and open up because people have said a lot of things about me. It is not fair. He never greeted my father one day, let alone visiting him. But I couldn't confront him because of that. I felt he didn't have any business with my father. He could choose to greet him or not. We were not related, we just came from the same village.
Are you saying you people were not friends?
We were not friends at all. We just did a song together. People just had a misconception about the whole thing. I never told anybody this before and I still insist it is not something we should talk about.
Why didn't you attend his burial ceremony?
I had a show. My mother went on our behalf. Some members of my staff went as well. In my place, they say condolence never expires. I can still walk up to that family and condole with them. My brother died and I wasn't there. We had a show as well. It wasn't anything personal. My father understood that I couldn't come for my brother's burial because I wasn't around.
Hmmmm, Naija na wa o. But him do song in remembrance of Mc Loph wen him die na.
Well, finally na so the world be o, make we just dey look o.

ST GEORGE'S, Grenada, Tuesday February 13, 2018 – With a month to go before Grenadians go to the polls, the Parliamentary Elections Office has dismissed claims by the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) that the names of some people on the voters' list are being transferred from one constituency to another.
And Voter and Civic Registration Officer, Ferdinand Phillip, is appealing for good sense to prevail, to avoid stirring up emotions among the voting population.
He says there are legitimate instances where people are transferred to another constituency, but he stressed that impartiality and competence are maintained at all times.
"If persons would read the law, they would be aware that these are legitimate cases that were done within the confines of the law and, so, we want persons to know that there is a process," Phillip said.
However, he added: "If you realize or you suspect that someone has been registered and maybe they didn't have the proper document, or maybe they registered in the wrong place, or whatever, or maybe they were transferred to another locale and you don't agree with it, then make an objection. The law again makes provision for that."
There have also been claims that non-nationals were being allowed to register to vote in the March 13 polls.
Phillips explained that once a person is a Commonwealth citizen residing in Grenada for a period of at least one year, unbroken, they are eligible to be registered.

Hi, today I have a project to share with you that I am going to enter into the first challenge over on the Silhouette UK blog. The challenge is to use the 'Retro Valentine's Mailbox' which is this week's free shape that is offered at the Silhouette Store.
For my make I decided to turn the mailbox into a Woodland themed Post Box. I cut the free mailbox file out of thick white card stock and used my Distress Inks (Walnut Stain, Peeled Paint, Frayed Burlap and Antique Linen) and score board to create the Wood Effect background on both main pieces of the mailbox. Before gluing the mailbox together I painted the inside with some Black Acrylic paint. I then glued the box together and started embellishing it.
I cut some small envelopes, also with the Silhouette, from some mottled parchment style paper, folded and glued them together before adding some details, such as the address' and acorn stamps. The flowers I have cut from my Silhouette and are actually the '3D Large Mum Flower' and the '3D Lisianthus Flower', which cut out beautifully even this small. The flowers have been coloured with 'Tattered Rose', Peeled Paint. and Milled Lavender'. I shaped with a ball tool while wet and added some micro beads for the centres.
The grasses and wheat were also cut from the Silhouette and coloured with Spectrum Aqua markers. The toadstools are from a Marianne Designs die, which I have also coloured with Spectrum Aqua makers and added some white dots with a gel pen.
I made a logo for the Mailbox using a deer's head with antlers, also from my Silhouette and a Kanban stamp, which I embossed with Ranger's 'Queens Gold' onto acetate and placed onto the deer's head. The deer was also coloured with the Spectrum Aqua Markers. I made a snail from paper clay and coloured with the Aqua Markers and added Glossy Accents to the shell. I finished the project by adding some buttons (Mouse, Squirrel, Leaves, Ladybird and Owl) which are from my stash.
I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
Silhouette UK- Retro Valentine's Mailbox
Crafting By Designs Monthly Challenge- Anything Goes
I hope you like my little Woodland Postbox and thanks for taking the time to visit my blog.

Hello from Caroline Elementary!! We are super excited to be hosting Brown Trout for the 3rd time! This year our trout are very spunky and have been darting and dashing around the hatch basket. They have just started leaving it and are seeking the depths of the tank.
We have been charting our data everyday and have had zero fatalities in the last 2 weeks! We estimate that about 75% of the trout will survive! We will continue with our updates and look forward to reading all of the others.
We have a small "hole" in the rocks at the bottom of the tank where some of the glass is exposed. This is where the trout have been loving to congregate. Others have been staying near the safety of the hatch basket.

I've translated this from today's Unian:
Bogatyryova calls upon Yushchenko to discuss "alarming tendencies" as soon as possible.
The coordinator of parliamentary majority and leader of the PoR faction in the VR, Raisa Bohatyryova considers that the President Yushchenko should meet with the leaders of parliamentary fractions as soon as possible.
"We are again approaching the dangerous possibility of deepening national division. Parliament is being artificially used - the opposition is systematically developing its plan. In this situation the President should meet the leaders of parliamentary fractions as soon as possible," said Bohatyrova.
The coordinator of the VR majority considers that the crisis in the VR has been artificially created. In her opinion, "the opposition forces, which unfortunately includes the presidential NU, are destabilizing its work, and have as their obvious aim the breakdown of the work of the highest legislative organ and government in order to provoke a general national political crisis. The plan is that this campaign will culminate in early parliamentary elections. "
"But it is completely obvious, noted Bohatyryova, that this could well provoke early presidential elections too. [In other words, 'Don't push your luck..']
The coordinator of parliamentary majority called on the President to discuss the present alarming tendency as soon as possible, adding: "We are definitely ready for any early elections, both ideologically, and also financially, but is the country ready for this? I'm sure it will not change anything - not even the doomed ambitions of our opposition. Moreover, it will impact painfully on the economy, since huge sums of money would be spent on elections which otherwise could be directed toward reforming the housing and lame social sector."
According to her: "We should speak right now about the problems in housing and utilities services sector, since the impression being given is that this branch of the economy never existed, and now only the anti-crisis coalition is guilty for all its sins. We have never avoided responsibility, but we consider that the problems involved in the housing and communal services sector are complex in nature and require the coordinated and joint efforts of all branches of government."
Bohatyryova also said, "We must speak to the President about a compromise version of the law "On the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine", about the VR rules of procedure [reglament], and about the imperative mandate for deputies of local councils. I am certain that the branches of the Ukrainian authorities must renew the dialogue that existed earlier, when vital decisions for the country were approved as a result of consultations and combined actions."
She appeals to the president for more consulations over the appointment of a new minister of foreign affairs and head of SBU [the VR rejected the president's proposed candidates Ohryzhko and Korol recently] declaring, "We don't want to give out negative signals to the international community by rejecting Ohryzhko and Korol for a second time. The institution of the presidency of Ukraine should appear strong and responsible for stability of the state in the eyes of the international community."
Bohatyryova is regarded are the mouthpiece of the new Donetskiites, close to Akhmetov. After the death of Yevhen Kushnaryov in a hunting accident, she is probably PoR's most able front-man. I suspect the thinking is that maybe they've pushed the pres. too hard in recent times, and do not want to risk more uncertainty at the moment.
Today BYuT and NU joined forces again 'as an united opposition'.

Three sections of Draft General Plan slated for council approval
After more than two years of public meetings and workshops, the City Council is expected to approve three sections of the Draft General Plan tonight. In question, however, is whether the council will move forward on four other proposed amendments, put forward by Ecocity Builders.
Once approved, the plan will govern development, housing and environmental management for the next 20 years.
While only the housing section of the draft plan faces a state-imposed deadline of Dec. 31, the council agreed two weeks ago to also approve the transportation and land-use sections tonight during its last meeting of the year.
Prior to approving various proposed amendments, the council will have to work through several controversial policies, including a two-year moratorium on studying the need for additional public parking downtown, a policy calling for the definition of "cultural use" for downtown commercial space – the inclusion of cultural space means a developer can builder higher than zoning permits – and a series of amendments proposed by the nonprofit Ecocity Builders.
Ecocity's mission is to reshape cities and towns to environmentally benefit community centers and surrounding areas. At the heart of its strategy is the theory of increasing density in central locations, thereby allowing the restoration of surrounding natural resources, such as open space, creeks and wetlands.
Headquartered in Berkeley with about 200 members, Ecocity Builders submitted four policies to the City Council as possible amendments to the draft plan's land-use section. According to Ecocity President Richard Register, the four amendments have been endorsed by more than 100 educational institutions, nonprofits and businesses.
The amendments would add language promoting energy efficient and environmentally sustainable building designs and increase housing density in the downtown and along transit corridors while restoring and daylighting creeks citywide.
Planning Commission Chair Rob Wrenn said many Ecocity proposals, such as creek restoration and green building practices, were already included in the Draft General Plan and that the four amendments had been rejected by the Planning Commission because the commissioners thought they were too complex to implement fairly and they presented a threat to the development of affordable housing.
While some aspects of the proposed amendments have been included in amendments put forward by councilmembers, Senior Planner Andrew Thomas suggested the council approve the land-use element of the draft plan and then convene a task force to study proposed amendments.
"The financial aspects for transfer development rights would be very complex, perhaps too complex for the council to simply add to the plan without more study," Thomas said adding that the General Plan can be amended up to four times a year. "The task force can carefully consider the possibility and then make recommendations to the Planning Commission and the City Council."
According to Register, one of the most important amendments is the Transfer of Development Rights policy. The TDR would allow developers to add as many as five floors to downtown developments in exchange for purchasing property on or near Berkeley creeks for the purpose of daylighting or restoration.
The Draft General Plan, as it is currently written, calls for the daylighting and restoration of the city's five creeks as well as restricted development over and nearby waterways.
But Register said a TDR policy would additionally facilitate creek restoration by offering incentives to developers. The policy would increase downtown building heights from a maximum of seven stories permitted in the draft plan – and also in force today – to as many as 12 stories. Register also advocates increasing height limits on transportation corridors, such as University and San Pablo avenues, from four stories to seven or eight stories.
"Unless you add higher density to these areas, you're not going to solve the environmental problems facing us in the future," he said.
But Wrenn said during the 50 public hearings, meetings and workshops the Planning Commission held over the last two years, the public did not express a willingness to increase downtown height limits.
"Transfer Development Rights have shown success in rural areas but they won't work so well in a built-up urban area, especially one where property values are so high," Wrenn said.
Thomas agreed saying the exchange of increased building height for a section of restored creek is a "very complicated" thing to work out.
"It's not like the affordable housing bonus where it's cut and dry," Thomas said. "In that case it's very clear that if a developer includes 20 percent affordable housing in a project, the overall density can be increased by 25 percent."
Thomas said there is no similar ratio with creek restoration and that is why he suggested a task force to study the issue and possibly come up with practical recommendations that might make the TDR policy, or a variation of it, possible.
Wrenn said another reason the TDR policy – and another Ecocity proposal that would have allowed developers to add floors to downtown projects by donating to an environmental restoration fund – was not added to the draft plan was a concern that the policies would compete with the city goal of creating more affordable housing by giving developers more choices for density bonuses.
"We didn't want to dilute the affordable housing density bonus," he said. "We really want to encourage first and foremost the development of affordable housing as we didn't think the TDR was appropriate to that."
Register argued that if the downtown height limits were increased enough, they could create more affordable housing and restore environmental habitat.
"If you don't allow increased density, I suppose it's true," he said then added. "It's a simple matter of allowing higher buildings in the downtown."

Web services security specs hit the standards track
Seen as critical to building out an SOA, Web services standards defining credentials management, extended conversations and security policies have been submitted to OASIS.
After years of development three key Web services security standards have finally made their way into the OASIS standards body, paving the way for master security policies and shared credentials in the service-oriented world.
The first meeting of the OASIS Web Services Secure Exchange (WS-SX) Technical Committee is set for early December and the WS-Trust, WS-SecureConversation and WS-SecurityPolicy specifications will be up for review. Kelvin Lawrence, chief technology officer for emerging Internet software standards for IBM, will co-chair the committee after having shepherded the specifications along through their early development.
"Once you begin to share credentials and engage in extended conversations, it gets you that next step toward being more dynamic," he said.
No specific timetable has been set for when the specifications will be ratified, but Lawrence noted the initial WS-Security standard took 18 months to make the journey from submission to standard.
"And that was fairly fast," he said.
WS-Trust establishes an XML syntax for managing credentials across secure domains. WS-SecureConversation will allow people to enter into multiple message conversations without having to go back to square one on the security checklist with each new message. WS-SecurityPolicy defines a general set of overarching security policies that can be associated with a Web service.
"The fact that we're getting them into the official standards process is enormously encouraging," said Andrew Nash, chief technology officer at Reactivity Inc., who co-authored the specifications. "This is critical infrastructure for Web services and service-oriented architectures."
In advance of the standards, Reactivity recently released an XML security gateway that performs some of the identity mapping between different credential formats that eventually will become the domain of WS-Trust. Lawrence said that he expects IBM's Tivoli and WebSphere product lines to feature some of the WS-SX functionality in advance of full ratification as well.
"We're trying to get stuff out so that people can use it," he said.
Miko Matsumura, vice president for technology standards at Infravio Inc., noted that customer demand for secure Web services tools has risen to the level where vendors have to get ahead of the standards work.
"It's kind of scary because people are trying to figure out how to build this infrastructure and the textbook's being written right now," he said. "It doesn't exist yet."
However, vendors are building to the proposed specifications, which have been up on IBM's developerWorks site for quite some time, which should minimize the amount of proprietary technology inside current toolsets. Ultimately, the goal of the WS-SX standards is to create a universal security system that can be linked to Web services and changed without having to change the code of the services themselves.
"You're trying to make the runtime environment even smarter," Matsumura said.
He added that these specifications should not be viewed as new technology that customers will have to learn in order to build an SOA.
"End users should only see these things as ingredients of products they will buy," Matsumura said. "They should never have to work with all these specifications themselves."
The main specification still missing from the WS-SX grouping is WS-Federation, which will provide security across multiple domains that do not share a single identity manager. Lawrence has estimated that standard won't start its standards body life for another year, but Nash would like to see it enter sooner.
"It becomes harder and harder to deal with federation the longer it stays out of the standards bodies," he said. "Ideally this would be worked in with the other standards."
