38 Years Old Woman Arrested For Having Sex With A 14-Year-Old boy
Marie Friendship, 38, pleaded guilty to one count of having sexual activity with a child, from a total of eight charges.
Friendship's guilty plea to the single charge was accepted by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) during a hearing at Bristol Crown Court.
Such an order can be designed to prohibit contact between sex offenders and young people.
Robert Duval, defending, said: 'This is a serious offence and I accept that is the case. We would like to have a pre-sentence report. This is a lady of previous good character.'
Friendship, from Whitchurch, Bristol, was bailed, pending the probation report, for sentence on September 21.
She was bailed on condition she has no contact with the complainant.
The Recorder of Bristol Judge Neil Ford QC told her: 'The fact I am adjourning the case for a pre-sentence report is no indication of the sentence imposed on you in due course.
'The fact you have been given bail is no indication of the sentence.'
Marie Friendship, who cites Harry Potter and David Beckham as 'likes' on her Facebook page, is listed as in a relationship on the social networking site.
My question is what of those old men that are sleeping with 2-3 years girls? how are they giving them charges?

Togolese Women Protest Pants Down(PHOTOS)
Several Togolese women who are protesting under the opposition name, "Sauvons Le Togo" ("Let's Save Togo"), have on August 28 in Togo's capital Lome, dropped their trousers in front of police forces to provoke them, to the great amusement of fellow protesters, bystanders and journalists.
The day before, the collective had called on its female members to join a week-long "sex strike", designed to motivate more men to join them in their fight against President Faure Gnassingbé.
For the moment there is no way of knowing if this appeal to "close their legs", as local journalists describe it, has been adhered to. Another demonstration is planned for next Thursday, where this time women have been openly invited to undress… Continue to see Pictures below:

Family Of 9 Died Of Generator Fume Poisoning(GRAPHICAL PHOTO)
According to the autopsy result released by the Imo state government, they were said to have been killed by generator fume poisoning.
The Imo State Commissioner for Health, Dr Obi Njoku, disclosed this yesterday during a radio phone-in programme.
He stressed that the family slept and forgot to switch off their generator set and subsequently died as a result of the generator fume they inhaled while asleep.
Dr Njoku said that the assumption that the family members were killed by an 'evil spirit' was not true, maintaining that when he visited the place with health officials on the morning of the incident, he saw a generator set but waited for the result to avoid wrong presumptions.
However, the community has disagreed with the autopsy result, pointing out that there was no generator set in the compound
According to one of the village heads who pleaded for anonymity, "the result is unacceptable, even the government agreed initially that there was no generator, and we were with the Njoku family late into the night and there was no generator.

3 year old girl raped in Lagos(PHOTOS)
|The victim
Youths in the area thinking the man was a thief descended on him. The man kept saying he wasn't a thief that the little girl was known to him. They turned to the girl and pressured her to tell them what the guy had done to her; the 3 year old told them that the man had taken her to the last floor of a 3 story building and hurt her. They checked the girl's panties and saw blood all over her private area. The blood had even dropped to her legs but nobody noticed on time.
On hearing this, the youths descended on him once again, this time more brutal. They stripped him naked, and beat him with stick, stones, bottles, etc until someone called the police who then took the man away....Continue to see the Pictures below:

Nollywood Star Actor Rich Oganiru Confesses To Killing Wife in Kuje Prison
.We gathered that the deceased met Rich Oganiru who already lost his wife and mother of his two boys at a time he was facing financially challenges and could hardly afford daily meal. Rich, our source explained was able to win the pretty woman's heart after sweet tonguing her especially because he's a known face who's featured in several movies.
This, we further gathered was how the woman in a short while brought back smile to the face of the light skinned actor, who became financially buoyant and had even started cruising one of her cars. The relationship as expected blossomed into marriage, without second thought his wealthy wife officially gave him authorization to all her firm. The union, we learnt however took a new dimension when Rich began to complain of his wife's inability to get pregnant.
After a while of complains on his wife bareness, Mr. Rich started seeing a younger lover, Iyaka , and undergraduate of Nassarawa State Polytechnic.
Quoting the source "It was Rich's unnecessary pressure on the lady that made her resulted into having a fibroid operation in a private hospital in Abuja which she luckily survived but only recuperating at the hospital before she was allegedly poisoned".
Mr. Rich secret started looking suspicious when Rich who had sold some of his wife's landed property for a church member. At the same time told the doctor that he has personal issues which he will need to get hold of his wife's death certificate as soon as possible instead of informing the wife's family or at least show a remorse for irreparable loss.
Meanwhile, the doctor said he wasn't sure of what happened, therefore suggested an autopsy which shockingly revealed a poisonous pill in the woman's system. The said poison we gathered was ingested between the time her husband visited the night before she died.
The nurses were also said to have saw her sleeping few minutes after Rich left not knowing that she was dead in her sleep. The actor, our source added later confessed killing his wife after much torture in police cell without any cogent reason. We also learnt that Rich is still in the police custody in Abuja while remains of his wife have been deposited in the mortuary.

INSECURITY:"Our Commercial Center,Kano Is Now A Shadow Of Its Former Self" -Buhari
Buhari, who made the call during a visit yesterday to the Kano State governor, Rabi'u Musa Kwankwaso, described the security situation in Kano and some states in the region as 'extremely sad,' stressing that trade and other economic activities have been seriously stifled.
"I came to greet the Emir of Kano and to sympathize and commiserate with you and him over the unfortunate incidents of bombings and the extra security measures being taken that are affecting our people," he said.
Buhari, who was in the state to commission CPC secretariat, lamented that Kano which used to be known worldwide as a centre of commerce, is now a shadow of its former self. "It is extremely sad, but I hope you will see through it as soon as possible," he said.
According to Buhari, even with the death of industries and security measures being taken in Kano, not everyone had initially realized the enormity of the situation to the economy of the country, "until the problem of Borno and Yobe got out hand."
"Having been a governor in that area, I knew that everyday at least 200 articulated vehicles leave here for Maiduguri and from the same end coming down this way. There in Maiduguri, you get traders from the Cameroon, Chad and Niger. Now all these have virtually gone. Try to imagine how many Nigerians and in particular, how many people from this part of the country are now pushed into real poverty," he said. "I hope the government at the centre will do all it can to ensure the situation is reversed as soon as possible."
Buhari also told the gathering that CPC was opening a secretariat in Kano in order to settle down and play the role of an opposition, given that the internal squabbles affecting it had been resolved.
Governor Kwankwaso said his government was working with security agencies to remove checkpoints in the state as soon as possible, so as to allow free movement of goods and persons in and out of the state.
Kwankwaso commended Buhari for finding time to pay him courtesy call despite their different political party affiliations. "What General did is what all politicians are supposed to do, because being in different parties does not mean being enemies," he said.

Hotel Staff Sacked over Cynthia's Murder
However, the exact number of those affected by the hotel management's sledge hammer could not be ascertained, Wednesday.
Reliable sources said those affected included staff that were on duty from the day the first suspect checked in to the day Cynthia was murdered.
It was gathered that when the incident occurred, the hotel management carried out an in-house investigation where it was discovered that some of the staff did not carry out their duties as expected. For instance, it was discovered that one of the suspects, Okwumo Echezona, checked into one of the rooms with a fictitious name.
It was also learnt that the staff were blamed for being negligent in their duties, as none of them was able to figure out the killer's suspicious moves when they were leaving the hotel, until the suspects called to inform the hotel.
The most negligent act on the part of the affected staffers, as informed by a staff of the hotel who spoke on condition of anonymity, was that the guests never showed any identity card bearing the name he checked in with.
The source said: "The standing rule is that any guest checking in must present his identity card at the reception that must bear the name he or she wants to check in with. We have been instructed never to lodge anybody in without meeting this procedure."
It was, however, not clear what Echezona told the receptionist before he was checked in. However, an unconfirmed report said Echezona presented no identity card that bore the name he gave to the receptionist.
In the absence of an identity card, the staff informed that guests were expected to either drop their complementary cards or passport photograph, as this would help in tracing them if the need arises.
Meanwhile, the suspects, Okwumo Echezona Nwabufo, 33; and his cousin, Ezike Ikechukwu Olisemeka, 23; the pharmacist that reportedly sold the tranquiliser used by Echezona, Orji Osita, and one Maduako Chukwunonso, are currently cooling their heels at the Ikoyi prison, while the remains of Cynthia will be interred on September 5.

Newly Married Couple Sends Best-man To Prison Over Wedding Suit
The 31 Year Old Chris was charged before Apapa Magistrate's court where he was remanded in prison custody. Trouble started between the couple and Chris on their wedding day. We learnt that Chris started demanding N11,000 from Ify's husband, saying that was the amount he spent on sewing his suit for the wedding. When the woman heard it, she felt embarrassed and shocked over Chris' attitude just as the couple was settling down after the wedding.
She reportedly gave him the money and asked him to return the suit since he had collected the money.
Though Chris said he collected the money, he did not return the suit.
According to Ify, after the wedding, Chris started telling neighbours that her husband borrowed money for their wedding. She said Chris later started demanding from them the money he used to sew the suit on their wedding day, threatening to embarrass them publicly.
"We raised the money and gave him and asked him to return the suit," she said.
She said after waiting in vain for him to return it, she went to his house at 74, Yaya Crescent, Olodi Apapa, Lagos to collect it.
Ify said when she knocked and entered his room and told him her mission, he locked her inside his room and held her neck and pushed her to the wall.
She said she started shouting for help before their neighbours intervened.
In his defence, Chris said he had an agreement with Ify's husband that he will pay him the money after the wedding.
He said he only demanded his money before the wife got angry and came to his house to demand for the suit.
The action of Chris landed him in court where he is facing a three-count charge of assault, false imprisonment and stealing.
The offences he committed are contrary to Sections 166, 171 and 285 of the Criminal Code Law of Lagos State of Nigeria 2011.
After he pleaded not guilty, the Magistrate, Mrs. A. K. Shonubi, granted him bail in the sum of N30,000 with one surety in like sum.
The matter was adjourned till 25 September, 2012, while Chris was remanded in prison custody until he meets his bail condition.

"I stopped talking about national issues, so I will not die young" – Dimeji Bankole
Bankole, who paid a visit to the Matriarch of the Awolowo family, Chief H.I.D Awolowo, in her Ikenne home, yesterday, met secretly with her for 30 minutes.
He, however, declined comments when he was approached by newsmen who got the hint of his visit to Awolowo.
The former Speaker, who was clad in white Kaftan, white cap and black sandals, drove himself to Awolowo's residence at 1. 18 p.m.
He was received by Mama Awolowo in company of her daughter, Dr. Tokunbo Awolowo-Dosunmu.
He later went into a secret meeting that lasted about 30 minutes with the her.
Vanguard gathered that the meeting might not be unconnected with the issues of unity among the Yoruba and the alleged marginalisation of the race by the President Goodluck Jonathan's administration.
The meeting also came five days after a meeting was held under the aegis of Yoruba Unity Forum, YUF, at the same place where issues bordering on the relegation of the race in the scheme of things in the country, among other things, were discussed.
Before the meeting, Bankole, who came with few security personnel in a three-car convoy, had told newsmen that he preferred to remain silent on state and national issues because he wanted to live long.
Bankole, who spoke in Yoruba, said "I did not run away; you know since I left office, I have not said a word. I prefer it to remain so.
"I will continue watching from a distance, I don't want to dabble into what is happening because, I want to live long."
Attempts made by journalists after Bankole stepped out of the reception room where he held the meeting with Awolowo, to disclose why he was in Ikenne failed, as he declined comments but continue laughing until he drove out of the Awolowo's compound.

"Goldie Is Not Picking My Calls" -Prezzo
In the Big Brother Stargame house, Nigerian contestant Goldie was always begging for Prezzo's attention. She prepared his meals, converted into his messenger, did laundry for him and joyously carried out odd jobs for him.
But what did the Kenyan braggadocios man do in return? He made uncouth remarks about her by once calling her fake (maybe due to her makeup and long sham eyelashes), flirted before her eyes, argued with her publicly and severally ignored her.
Although the two had their highlights and good moments, one party was definitely intoxicated by the other. Sadly, that was Goldie. However, after leaving the BBA house, she evaluated the relationship and confessed that he had taken her for granted. If Prezzo was to have her back he would have to cry her a river.
The One Ambassador was recently in Lagos but was turned down by the 'Jawo Jawo' singer. In a press conference in Nigeria, Prezzo claimed, "I just want to use the media to reach Goldie and tell her to pick my calls that is why I called for a press conference".
To hide face, he said that that the two met and will take things slowly. Goldie who has been receiving a lot of negative reviews on Prezzo by her twitter fans, suggested that the two might collabo.

FORT MYERS, Fla. (March 5, 2018) – B & I Contractors, a Florida based subcontracting and building services firm, recognizes Matt Mason who has received the American Welding Society (AWS) Welding Inspector certification, announced Gary Griffin, President of B & I. The certification is a 6-day course, followed by an 8-hour test. "Matt passed the test on his first attempt which is very rare and speaks to this outstanding achievement," Griffin said.
Mason began his career with B & I in 2001 and has over 18-years of experience in commercial and industrial piping. His duties include the supervision and coordination of workers engaged in fabricating, assembling and installing piping and equipment for industrial process piping, steam, hydronic heating, and cooling and condenser water systems.

STRESS on an EKG...my Own Black Moment
In real life we aren't so lucky.
At first I ignored it. Because that seemed like the thing to do. (*NOTE: DON'T ignore heart irregularities! Heart attacks are the silent killer in women--for more information and symptoms, see the AHA website here!)
Before you comment and lecture me, I know. Duh. What a moronic thing to do--to ignore it for a day and a half. But I was BUSY, dang it! I didn't have time for health nonsense!
After texting my husband to see if he thought I should go to the ER (yes, texting--I'm really working the 'ignore-it-and-it-will-stop' method here!), I finally decide I'll visit my Dr. who gives me a weekly B12 vitamin shot for my lack of energy. I figure, I'll tell him, he'll say it's just some weird thing, and not to worry, and off I'll go.
Except it doesn't go like that.
What he does is put his finger on my wrist, feels my pulse for like 30 seconds (during which, my heart complies by beating it's way out of my ribcage every 5 beats--yay, heart!). Then, he calls for a 12-lead, and this is the result.
I can't read EKGs, but what caught my eye was the "ABNORMAL" in caps at the top. The Doc said that while it was probably nothing, I needed to see a cardiologist. Today.
And the black moment began.
I won't take you through the rest of it, but the story ends well. What I have are called PVCs, which is not a bunch of white pipes at Home Depot, but Premature Ventricular Contractions (great info from Mayo Clinic about PVCs here). Basically, PVCs are a type of benign arrhythmia that can start and end at any point in life, but are typically triggered by:
1. Hormones, especially pre-menaupausal ones. Yep--I fit that.
2. Stress. Oh, yeah--I've got that.
3. Anemia (which basically goes along with the hemorrhage-like monthlies brought along by lovely #1, so yeah, I'm there, too.)
Probably TMI for you, lovely reader, but since many of you have emailed me asking why I haven't blogged in so long, I felt like I owed an explanation. My PVCs triggered a black moment where I, like my characters, was forced to re-examine my life, and make some tough choices.
I have only so many writing hours in a day. And in the summer, with the kids home, you can cut that in half, then in half again, and probably once more. So, what is that? About an eighth of my normal time?? I don't know. I suck at fractions. Whatever it is, it's minuscule to what I have when school is in session. And with my pitch coming up in the annual RWA conference, I really have had to choose where to spend my time. The blogging went to the bottom of the list. :(
However, I'm trying to be better at allocating my time, so I hope to be back to a more 'regular' appearance, here. I've missed you guys--thanks for the emails with your concern, too. It helps more than you know!
Happily My Ever After,
P.S. Want to see what I've been stressing over? Check out my WIP page here for a little teaser on my YA Contemporary, Delinquent.
P.P.S. Make sure you subscribe to my blog with the buttons at the right. You'll be the first to know WHEN I get my contract for my YA. (Not If, but WHEN. The power of positive thought!!)

Take some time out while the kids are home and reduce your stress level. Nothing's more important than your health.ReplyDelete
Take a little time off to re-evaluate your schedule. Nothing is more important right now than being a healthy mom. Summer is half over. Take care of yourself.ReplyDelete
So glad you're feeling better now, Dylan, and ITA with you about priorities. Sorry this was the impetus to examine them, but sounds like you're on the right track. I'm sending you LOTS of POSITIVE thoughts to add to your own for health and your YA contract. Here's to RWA 2015 success! :DReplyDelete
Glad to hear you're okay!ReplyDelete
Thanks, Marie Lavender! I can't tell you how relieved I was to hear the cardiologist say it was benign and that my heart was healthy. Don't you always wonder what's going on in there, sometimes?ReplyDelete
Thanks for stopping by and for your note!! :)

Heart stuff is so scary! I had an episode like that a couple years back, and after six months of testing, we finally found the problem: Hiatal Hernia. My stomach was pushing up above my diaphragm and squeezing my lungs and heart out of the way to do it. That was causing some funky/scary symptoms. Once we pushed my stomach back down, the symptoms went away! (It still tries to creep up there, but now I know to just go into the doctor and have him push it back down)ReplyDelete
I'm glad yours wasn't anything serious, either, because I know exactly how dark that moment can get!

This mic is great for the price. I got it and plugged it into my unit amp and the sound was great, I finally heard the truth quality of my voice. It was like using a sound board to make my voice sound good. This mic does it already, set to go and record my voice.
We have always used the BETA 58's for about 35 or 40 years! They are the most reliable and best sounding in their class.
Except for the power supply, I would give this 5 stars. The mic sounds great, reception is good, and the rechargeable battery is excellent. 15 hours of use and extremely quick to re-charge. Now the bad, the power supply is terrible. The wire on the DC side is extremely thin and fragile.
The beta 58 is awesome! Built like a tank. I had the regular 58 for 37 years.That mic still kicking, but it was time for an upgrade. Well worth the money.
Really Can't go wrong with this mic. Its still a crazy durable dynamic mic like the sm58 but allows for much higher gain to feedback on axis. The polar pattern could give you issues if your talent is used to cardioid mics and not willing to listen.
Dependable, Attractive and make me sound good. I am 62 yrs of age retiree played music back in the 70's. I used Sure Mikes than and I sill use them . There's a lot of new brands out there but you still want find anything better. And you can't beat the price. So why change a good thing.
Awesome mic!
This mic is an awesome vocal mic especially when paired with the Monster Pro cable's. NO clicks, pop's or distortion from the mic. You can have it pointing right at the speakers and no feedback. Love this mic. Ya won't find a better one for the price, and ya definitely won't be disappointed.
Not a condenser mic.I will have the best handheld Shure condenser mic one day!
Used it on my gig yesterday and the found was great.
Beta 58A performs under all conditions. I have much more expensive miss ready at hand but if I don't want to take a risk and know that i need a resilient mic to come along with me I choose beta 58A under all conditions.
I've been seeking the right live mic for a female alto voice. The frequency range, response, and feedback threshold are great. There are finer pricier mics but this covers the base very well.

Sample Shots
You can use several gestures during playback for scrolling, rotating and deleting, but these were a little sluggish compared with other models I've tried. Wi-Fi set-up though, was a doddle – the camera locks onto your home network and then simply asks you to enter the network key. Picture quality was impressive too.
A touchscreen camera crammed with connectivity features and which uses OLED screen technology. Touch operation functions have been well designed - although gestures are a little slow. A tad pricey, so you'll need to shop around for this one. ®

While it's not recommended for everyone using it on your hair does have it's benefits. With the various types and oil consistencies on the market you will definitely be able to find the best mix of style and consistency for you. I'm going to reiterate consistency because if you have a history of easily clogged pours that will irritate or obstruct the hair follicle from growing then you're going to want to stick with a lighter base. This means staying away from any beard balm and using a lighter oil base product.
Some specific oil blends are formulated to not only be used as a dual use product but also promote hair growth with the active ingredients and essential oil combinations they are made with.
Good for strengthening capillaries and increasing overall blood flow.
Great for overall dandruff treatment and decreasing a person with oily skin.
A great detoxifying agent that pulls toxins from the skin.
Another great dandruff aid and it has been know to work miracles on hair loss
As the saying goes, a "dab will do you". Even if the hair on your head runs thicker than the average man you will only need a few drops to get the full effect of the oils. It's not used to lather the scalp but simply make a fine coat on the hair to add nourishment and reap the style benefits!
In conclusion, not only are you going to love the way your beard looks and feels but you will have just as much enjoyment putting it on your head.

I Want to Be Your Mango Mentor!
Let's talk mangoes. I found out today that I am a finalist inthe Mango Mentor competition that was launched at BlogHerFood a couple of weeks ago. I'm not confident I'll win, but it was worth a whole lot of belly laughs at the office this morning and any morning that begins with a rip-roaring bout of laughter is money in my book. If you take a moment and watch my "How to Cut a Mango" video and can peel yourself away and back to the keyboard after a sidesplitting laugh, can you please vote for me? Yes, even though it appears I think the only thing worthy of children after cutting a mango is the skin. What I meant to say was that they could go to town sucking out the remaining flesh in the skin of the fruit, and that they could gnaw on the seed, but it appears I handed over the skin and left it at that.
There are some things we just don't hear about in mainstream grocery stores in the US. Take Bagoong for instance. Bagoong is an acquired taste for some, an everyday condiment for others and for some, something to run from.
Just as Beets and Lima Beans are often regarded with fear and disdain, bagoong alamang is frowned upon by the uninitiated. Why? Well, the fact that it's fermented shrimp paste may have something to do with it. WHAT?! Fermented and Shrimp on the same sentence? Sure. If you've ever fallen in love with a Thai or Vietnamese dish, I'll bet you've had fish sauce.
I'm no expert, but there's not much about fish sauce (nam pla) that's different than this jar of shrimp paste you'll see if you scroll down just a bit. Fish sauce is what rises to the top in a barrel of fermenting anchovies.
I became acquainted with bagoong when I moved to the Philippines and was introduced to green mangoes. My first Philippine mango experience was mango juice.
Ohhhh, I thought! "I can't wait for a nice, tall glass of mango juice," I said to my new landlords as the tropical sun was baring down on the nipa hut we were relaxing in as the husband and wife team were getting to know the woman from America that was going to be spending a hell of a lot of money to live in their brand-spanking new house in Angeles City. Ok, so I wasn't shelling out the dough for rent, my employer was, but that was a concept that may not have been quite understood — until the first rent check arrived from AOL's corporate account, that is.
Nevertheless, I was there to prove that I would be a great tenant and wanted to show that I was appreciative of their hospitality and and the cooling beverage they were offering.
So, with glass to mouth and a fear of unfiltered water weighing heavily on my newly in-country stomach, I took a swig of an icy cold gulp of mango juice.
Ack! My lips puckered in revolt! What was this? It was tart! It was bitter! This was not the sweet, fragrant mango juice I had imagined. When my hosts saw the look on my face they chuckled and with a knowing look, told me that mango juice is most often served using green mangoes rather than sweet mangoes.
"Green mangoes? What does that mean," I asked? And that's when I became an informed expat. A green mango is an unripe mango. It's known more as a savory fruit and while I never really warmed up to green mango juice, my friends Benji and Carina showed just how delicious a green mango can be. I took a ride to their home in Antipolo and we went out for a fun lunch with other expats to a restaurant that served local fare and it was there that they helped me find a new love — Green Mangoes with Tomatoes, Onions and Bagoong.
I liked mangoes well enough, but always found them rather stringy and not very juicy. That all changed when I moved to the Philippines and discovered the bright yellow little "diamond mangoes" that were hanging from trees all around the call center in season. It was at that point I realized I had never had a really good mango experience. When I moved back to the US I was sad. Sad that we didn't have these small, packed with flavor mangoes available to us.
And then A year later I relocated to Bangalore, India where the sweet little fruit was abundant once again and the debate over which mango was better — the Philippine or the Indian mango. I have to say, although I fought for the Philippine mango … being my first expat experience I was loyal to my Philippine "heritage," but in reality, they were both so similar that if you did a blind taste test I probably couldn't tell the difference.
I had many food experiences in the Philippines that will not only live with me forever, but which make up most of the fond memories I have of my life there and some I have brought home with me. This Sweet Mango Salad with Bagoong is one of them.
It's got a very low Weight Watchers Points Plus value is quick and easy to put together and makes a sweet side salad which pairs well with so many dishes, but is an especially delicious accompaniment to a grilled dinner. If you're serving other vegetables you can cut the salad in half or serve 2 – 4 people as a condiment.
So … let's eat! Masarap!
|Sweet Mango Salad
- 1 small, sweet (ripe) Mango
- 2 tablespoons minced Onion
- 1 cup sliced or chopped Tomatoes
- 1/2 small jalapeño pepper minced
- 1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Red Wine Vinegar
- Salt and Pepper to taste (omit the salt if serving with Bagoong)
- Cut the mango into large or small dice (watch my Mango Mentor video to see the technique for doing this)
- Add the onions, tomatoes, and pepper
- In a small bowl, whisk the olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper together
- Pour over the mango mixture, let sit for 10 – 30 minutes and serve
This small salad (or condiment) has a Weight Watchers Points Plus Value of 4. A tablespoon of Bagoong Alamang is worth 1 point. Serve the dish with hard boiled eggs for a more substantial salad and add 2 points for each egg.

Remediation of contaminated sites
The health impact and the remediation of sites contaminated by industrial activities (e.g. petrochemical, waste treatment, power generation) is an important issue in Europe and a priority for WHO in the environment and health area.
Earlier industrialization and poor environmental management practices have left a legacy of over 100 000 contaminated sites across the European Region, many of which still operate unsafely. Malpractice, lack of legislation, or lack of implementation of legislation, are the causes of contamination.
Past and current activities can cause local and diffuse accumulation of environmental stressors to an extent that might threaten human health and the environment, by altering air quality, contaminating soil, and polluting groundwater and surface water.
For example, a mortality study of residents in Italian polluted sites (SENTIERI study) found that in 44 sites identified as being of national interest in Italy there were nearly 10 000 excess deaths (+2.5% of the total) in the period 1995 to 2002.
Health protection and site remediation
WHO provides advice to Member States on possible measures to protect health and rehabilitate contaminated sites, and on request also provides support through capacity-building activities.
WHO works in partnerships with a network of experts composed of representatives of environmental and public health agencies at national and international level, and research experts.

Brazil is a country of a stunning contradictions. While more than 70 millions of its inhabitants have access to Internet and possess a smartphone, 16 million of its citizens still live in extreme poverty. Brazil comes in 10th in terms of countries with greatest social inequality.
Its citizens understand the country's situation well and are actively trying to show the rest of the world that Brazilians are motivated, creative and care about the well-being of their country. Brazilian social innovation is booming and its projects are very characteristic of the country's specific needs and complex culture.
My six months stay in this impressive country (did I mention its divine açai?) convinced me of the great entrepreneurial potential present. Today I want to share with you the changemakers that struck me as having the most interesting projects… though there are definitely many others! I'm pleased to take you through those projects that i'm particularly fond of from a country that will always be dear to my heart.
My selection of 12 inspiring projects in Brazil :
1. Banco Palmas is a microfinance firm in the Conjunto Palmeiras neighborhood, south of Fortaleza. They give loans in Reais (the national currency) to projects that foster the community. They also give out Palmas, a social alternative currency that is exchangeable 1:1 for commodities from certain producers outside Conjunto Palmeiras. Consumers can also use Palmas within Conjunto Palmeiras and if they do so they receive a 15% discount on the normal price.
2. Meu Rio is a collaborative platform for mobilization that raises awareness for inhabitants of Rio de Janeiro on major changes to public policies. Combining cooperation and civic participation, the community actually succeeded in stopping the demolition of the Friedenreich municipal school to make room for the Maracanã stadium.
3. Favela painting is the initiative of two dutch artists aiming to beautify disadvantaged brazilian neighborhoods. It's implementation is simple: invite occupants of favelas to paint their buildings with bright colours, co-creating masterpieces that revive the community. By having tried it in Santa-Marta, a favela in Rio de Janeiro, I can personally attest that this kind of project is great for community-building, both between inhabitants themselves and between citizens and gringos like me.
4. Nós.vc is a meeting platform that inserts itself in the alternative education sphere. Almost the same format as the montreal initiative E-180, Nós.vc enables anyone who's passionate about something to teach it casually to a group of people through a class, a workshop or even a debate. And vice-versa. This exchange can be free or not, and it requires a minimum number of participants for it to happen. It's the biggest crowd-learning platform in Brazil.
5. Color + City is essentially a Google+ group that connects professional or amateur artists with people that have walls to give. Do you own empty facade that depresses you? Add it on the group with a picture and wait for an artist to book it. He or she then has 15 days to paint something on it, otherwise the wall goes out to someone else. Originally from São Paulo, the project quickly spread across brazilian cities, slowly transforming the cement environment into masterpieces.
6. Mundo Jeri is a women-run cooperative of crochet artisans from Jijoca and Jericoacoara in the Ceará. Hats, dresses and handbags are produced and sold by these women, which fosters the area's economic development and includes the artisans in the community. I came across Mundo Jeri thanks to Mulheres com coragem, a documentary made by a master's student at HEC Montréal that had the honor to present it at the UN headquarters in New York in 2012 for the International Year of Cooperatives (IYC) Short Film Festival. Congratulations to Charlotte Marchesseault!
7. Centro de Escalada Urbana is an urban climbing center for unprivileged kids from the biggest favela in Latin America, Rocinha. First of its kind in Brazil, it brings kids closer to climbing, allowing them to participate in a non-violent activity while developing confidence and teaching them to respect the mountains that surround them.
8. The Central Bank of Brazil's project to transform bank notes into organic compost is done collaboratively with the Federal Rural University of Amazonia (UFRA) in the State of Pará. This initiative is the result of many months of financing researchers to come up with the best way to get rid of bank notes that are out of circulation. The winning idea of the UFRA to transform them into fertilizer fits in well with the new national waste policy which made putting bank notes in dumpsters forbidden as of early 2014.
9. Treebos is an online platform in which it's possible to virtually plant a tree. At the same time, a real tree is planted in Brazil and the user can follow its development. As soon as it starts bearing fruit, the user will be able to decide what to do with this harvest: receive it at home? donate it to a friend or an organization? sell it through the website and receive money of out it? What would you do?
10. Favela Orgânica is the name of the culinary organization of the famous chef Regina Tchelly. The catering service it offers mixes with cooking classes, in fancy hotels or at home. Why is it innovative? Because Favela Orgânica cooks organic with food remains that would otherwise be thrown away, like banana peels. The organization also teaches occupants of favelas to grow their own food, cook healthy meals and minimize waste while also implementing a collective urban garden.
11. Catarse is the first open source crowdfunding platform in Brazil. More than 2.5 millions of dollars were already raised for more than 500 projects spreaded around Brazil. Catarse actually enabled Belo Monte: Anuncio de uma guerra to see the light. The documentary that talks about the controversial construction of the Belo Monte dam in the amazonian rainforest raised almost 76 000 dollars thanks to the community.
12. Circulê is book trade network in Curitiba of novels that have had an impact in your life. Each time you want to give away a book, you have to say how it changed your life and why you would recommend it. The next reader can then choose one among hundreds based on your experience that might or might not have touched him in some way, and create one of his own. Cicrulê is more than a book exchange - it is an exchange of life experiences between readers.
My selection of 11 organizations, incubators and brazilian networks :
1. Social Good Brasil is part of the global movement +Social Good made of citizens that believe in the power technology has to make social changes for the common good. The brazilian branch acts essentially on three pillars: inspiration, activities that stimulate participation; information, interactive online content that promotes citizen action; and the action itself.

Mount Batulao Hiking Tour
Mount Batulao Hiking Tour will take you to the 360-degree summit of the mountain named after two tagalog words; Bato and Ilaw which means "Rock and Light". Mount Batulao has open trails, remarkable rolling slopes and scenic views of the towns of Batangas. The view at the summit is a sure way to appreciate the scenery of other nearby mountains, rice fields, and sugar cane plantations. This is a perfect hike for those who are just beginning in hiking and a quick getaway from Manila.

Hiking Mount Batulao was popularized by experienced hikers. Now, the summit is open to all levels of hikers. It is, in fact, one of the thrilling hiking destinations that is close to Manila. It's easy to reach, too! Just one bus ride away.
What's good about Hiking Mount Batulao is it is beginner-friendly. No prior hiking experience is needed.
You'll begin your hike on the paved road of the community. From a distance, you can see the tiny and pointed summit of Batulao. The trail is characterized by grassy rolling terrain. There are a few short, steep hills offering different angles of the summit.
The real challenge begins after the camp site near peak 7 and 8 approaching peak 9. There are ropes that you can use to assist you as the terrain is really steep and slippery.
Once at the summit, you have 360-degree view of the towns of Calaca and Nasugbu among others.
The other fun part is the trail going down the summit via the Old Trail. Here you will have to rappel down a very steep boulder. Remember that this is optional. You can still opt to go down via the New Trail.
Mount Batulao's Old Trail offers a different picturesque angle of the summit. This trail is more challenging than the New Trail because of steeper descent or ascent.

SCRIPT FOR TODAY: PDCP- 03/31/15- "Death Is Overwhelmed And Done!" (Isaiah 25:8)
SCRIPT FOR TODAY: 03/31/15- "Death Is Forever Overwhelmed And Done!"(Isaiah 25:8)
Premise Question: When will death be overwhelmed and done, all sorrow and tears wiped away and gone, with all reproach and disdain endured, by Papa God's land and people, forever removed and undone?
He will swallow up death forever! The Sovereign LORD will wipe away all tears. He will remove forever all insults and mockery against his land and people. The LORD has spoken! (Isaiah 25:8 NLT)
Papa God, on that day, shall overwhelm and completely defeat, by literally absorbing sin and its sting of death, hell and the grave, in an overwhelming, everlasting victory! In so doing, The Sovereign LORD God Almighty will utterly eliminate, by washing away all sorrow, distress, regret and every tear. He, The LORD, shall effectively abolish entirely, all ridicule and derision, disdain and disgrace, as well as, all insolent and demeaning insults, used against, now and in times past, the land that He has anointed, as His sacred promise and the people that He loves and has chosen to be His very own. The LORD Himself, has declared it to be so! (Isaiah 25:8 PDCP)
Bottom Line: Death was dealt the final blow, the death-knell, upon the cross, when The LORD declared "it is finished!" (John 19:30, 1Corinthians 15:26,54, 2Timothy 1:10) All sorrow and tears will be wiped completely away, never to return, when the New Jerusalem descends from Heaven, with The LORD Jesus Christ as its King; that's also when the reproach and disdain, endured by the land and people of Papa God, will forever be removed and abolished! (Revelation 21:4, 24-27) This we know, because of what has already been accomplished and because The LORD has spoken and declared it to be so! Oh, one more thing, we also get to exchange our old physical mortal bodies for new, spiritual, glorified, immortal bodies! (1Corinthians 15:53, 1Timothy 1:10) We have won and been declared the champions, because and only because of our Victor, our LORD and Savior, Jesus Christ! (Psalm 60:12) Death is overwhelmed and done! Blessings…

SCRIPT FOR TODAY: PDCP- 03/30/15- "Retirement Plan? Pick One!" (Romans 6:23)
SCRIPT FOR TODAY: 03/30/15- "Retirement Plan? Pick One!" (Romans 6:23)
Premise Question: What are the stark contrasts and differences, when compared side by side, between the two eternal retirement, (benefits/plans) packages being offered, by Papa God through His Son Jesus Christ, to all of humankind?
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23 NLT)
The renumeration and recompense you'll forever be paid, because of your sin, is eternal separation from Papa God's presence, utter destruction and spiritual death, but the undeserved serendipitous and really generous gift, that Papa God has made available to you and which is absolutely free, without any cost to you, is everlasting, without end, eternal life, provided by His Son, our LORD, Jesus Christ, through His death on the cross. (Romans 6:23 PDCP)
Alternate PDCP: If you allow sin to master you, by serving its desires, then sin will reward you with death, as your compensation; where as, if you choose to accept God's overture of being joined together with Him in a Holy Union, through His Son Jesus Christ, then, He rewards you with a perpetual, ceaseless, without end, eternal life of joy and perfect bliss. (Rom.6:23 PDCP)
Bottom Line: As we go through the passion week, I believe this particular scripture aptly sums up for us, perfectly, the "why for reason" and the "what for purpose" of the events that transpired during that week. Within the "why for reason," was; because of the love The Creator has for all of His creation, He wanted to be reunited with them in a joyful and righteous, intimate relationship, in order to once again experience sweet fellowship, which had been broken and utterly destroyed by sin. And, the "why for purpose," was to restore the relationship, by redeeming them and restoring their life, even eternal life, to His creation. So, Papa God has proffered two distinctly different and starkly contrasting choices for us to choose, as our eternal retirement (benefits/plans) package. One is based entirely on your own individual life and you being paid in full, wages for every sinful behavior, activity, deed, attitude, motive, wrongdoing, wickedness, thought, you may have. While the other, is based entirely on the perfect and sinless life of The Savior, who has paid in full, all that the righteous law of Papa God required, satisfying it completely. Enrollment is presently open to everyone. Everyone that chooses to respond has been pre-approved, pre-qualified and pre-selected, made possible through the death of Papa God's Son, Jesus Christ, on the cross. A deposit and contribution has been made, by His Spirit, on your behalf, in your name. Papa God's perfect retirement plan for us is to exchange the wages we would be paid for our sin, for His free gift of salvation and eternal life! Here is the two retirement packages, side by side, to compare, that are proffered, by Papa God, to all of humankind.
*Eternal life………………………………………*Eternal death
*Perfect light…………………………………….*Outer darkness
*No more tears or fears……………………..*Weeping and gnashing of teeth
*Plenty to eat and drink……………………..*Constant hunger and thirst
*Forever in the LORD'S presence………..*Outside the presence of Papa God
*Never alone or lonely………………………..*Lonely and left all alone
*Always joyful and happy……………………*Always depressed and tortured
*Perfect health/glorified body………………*Constant suffering, without relief
*Overwhelming joy and peace……………..*Burning with a fire that never stops
*Clean/clear air and atmosphere………….*Constant stench of burning sulphur
…………………………………………………..and searing flesh
*Completely paid in full, as if………………..*Never ending wages being paid, for
you had never even sinned……………………..every sin you've ever committed.
*Forever free………………………………………*Incarcerated forever
One choice leads to hearing: "Well done!" While the other choice leads to hearing: "You're done in!" Choose wisely, make the smart pick, the wise choice, select the best retirement plan ever provided! Blessings…

SCRIPT FOR TODAY: PDCP- 03/29/15- "Hail To The King!" (John 12:12-13)
SCRIPT FOR TODAY: 03/29/15- "Hail To The King!" (John 12:12-13)
Premise Question: Are we, all who are members of The Company of The Redeemed, diligently preparing our hearts, along with others, by giving due honor and glory, through our true expressions of authentic worship and praise offerings, up to Papa God and are we ready for the return of His Son Jesus, The One True King?
The next day, the news that Jesus was on the way to Jerusalem swept through the city. A large crowd of Passover visitors took palm branches and went down the road to meet him. They shouted, "Praise God! Blessings on the one who comes in the name of the LORD! Hail to the King of Israel!" (John 12:12-13 NLT)
Following the day after Jesus was honored, with a dinner and where He was anointed in preparation for His burial by Mary, the sister of His close friend Lazarus; a report of His travel plans began circulating throughout and amongst those who had gathered in Jerusalem to celebrate, observe and remember the Passover. The news began to spread like an out of control wild brush fire, with such an incredible amount of excitement, accompanied by the exuberant joyful expectation, that Jesus was actually headed to the city of Jerusalem to observe the Passover, as well. This joy filled report inspired and spurned many to cut and gather up palm branches in mass and then go out to meet, greet and honor Him, on the road leading into the city, with shouts of celebratory exclamations and huge laudations of rejoicing praise; offered up to Papa God, with thanksgiving and blessings, heaped upon The Name of The LORD Jesus The Christ, hailing Him as the One True King of The Jews! (John 12:12-13 PDCP)
Bottom Line: I truly enjoy openly expressing my love, appreciation and gratitude, from an overwhelmingly full of thanksgiving heart, to Papa God and The LORD Jesus, during times of praise and worship, both corporately and individually. I love honoring The LORD, with the voice He gave me, with the singing of songs and exclamatory shouts of praise! There are times and occasions, though, that someone, that is close in proximity to me, during these times of refreshing, will make a remark about the manner in which I'm expressing myself, mostly positive, thank The LORD; but, I do not do it in order to illicit a response from them, even when told that my worshiping was inspiring and encouraging to them! I do it for one reason only, it's done entirely for Him, The One True King, not for any other reason! I know, accept and understand that there are many different forms and expressions of worship and praise, but whatever the form or expression, I believe it should always be done with complete abandonment, at least, where it concerns our heart, mind and soul. So, let's take the example from this passage of scripture, where we can surely see that these folks were overwhelmed with exuberant joy and excitement, at the very prospect, of a personal visitation from The LORD, The One True King of the Jews! And for that matter, The King of everyone and everything! They ran out to meet Him, they couldn't wait for Him to get to their city and they also completely abandoned themselves, with many different expressions and declarations of recognition, making proclamations of glorious praise unto Papa God and His Son Jesus The Christ. All Hail To The King Eternal! Jesus Christ, The LORD of all! Blessings…

SCRIPT FOR TODAY: PDCP- 03/27/15- "Beyond Eager To Know And Obey Your Word!" (Psalms 119:36-37)
SCRIPT FOR TODAY: 03/27/15- "Beyond Eager To Know And Obey Your Word!" (Psalms 119:36-37)
Premise Question: What activity, desire, goal or aim or relationship, in this life, that we could chase after, strive for or be involved in, would yield more, with the greatest and most advantageous benefits for living a flourishing, successful life, now and in the life to come, than being eager to know and obey Papa God's Word?
Give me an eagerness for your laws rather than a love for money! Turn my eyes from worthless things, and give me life through your word. (Psalms 119:36-37 NLT)
Grant me a voracious appetite, Papa God, that is far greater, in scope and magnitude, than for any other strong affectionate affinity, that I may be overwhelmed or consumed with, in this world, including money; that I may always desire to devour Your precepts, statues and commands! I ask You, Papa God, to give me the desire, fortitude and discernment, to always avert my attention, my gaze, focus and unhealthy infatuations, away from those things that are set before my eyes, in this life, that are despicable in Your eyes; things that are of no use, are devoid of any intrinsic value, being completely empty and futile, but, please do continue, Papa God, to grant me a life full of meaning and value, through Your vivacious life giving, satisfying and fulfilling, Word. (Psalms 119:36-37 PDCP)
Bottom Line: According to Papa God's Word, nothing compares with eagerly desiring to know Him intimately and to fulfilling His will and purpose, for our lives, by obeying, adhering and following closely, His precepts, statues and commands found within His Holy Writ; for no life lived without His love, mercy and grace, His guidance and direction, His peace, joy and comfort, is a life lived to the maximum enjoyment, for this life and the life to come! Blessings…
SCRIPT FOR TODAY: PDCP- 03/26/15- "I Shall Not Ever Forget!" (Psalms 119:93)
SCRIPT FOR TODAY: 03/26/15- "I Shall Not Ever Forget!" (Psalms 119:93)
Premise Question: Why, how and for what reasons should we never forget the commandments of Papa God?
I will never forget your commandments, for by them you give me life. (Psalms 119:93 NLT)
I, with a diligently devoted heart, shall always carefully choose to follow closely, Papa God, Your life giving precepts, Your wonderful statutes, and without defects, perfect commandments; without any delay or procrastination, by treasuring them and making sure not to ever neglect, dismiss, discount, put aside, ignore or in anywise or manner, disregard or compromise them in anyway. (Psalms 119:93 PDCP)
Bottom Line: WHY, we should never forget: First and foremost, is because they are Papa God's commandments that He's given to us to follow and obey and that, with great benefits. Secondly, is because they are full of life that remains and sustains us, keeping us pure. HOW, we should never forget: By committing to memory, internalizing and personalizing, Papa God's holy commandments, they will continually revive us, causing us to thrive in any and all situations and circumstances, that we may face or go through in life. For WHAT reasons, should we never forget: Life is more vivacious and vibrant, filled with enjoyment, satisfaction and fulfillment, because we follow Papa God's commandments! They also are filled with His complete joy, His perfect peace, His courage, common sense and divine wisdom, keeping us from lying to ourselves and others, which is desperately needed, in order to live and flourish in this life! Just a few reasons we should not ever forget Papa God's commandments. Blessings…

SCRIPT FOR TODAY: PDCP- 03/25/15- "Quality VS Quantity, An Incredibly Easy Choice To Make!" (Psalms 84:10)
SCRIPT FOR TODAY: 03/25/15- "Quality VS Quantity, An Incredibly Easy Choice To Make!" (Psalms 84:10)
Premise Question: Does quality versus quantity of life matter, with regards to what we spend our time in life doing, how we are spending our life living and who we are spending our time with, while living here on this earth?
A single day in your courts is better than a thousand anywhere else! I would rather be a gatekeeper in the house of my God than live the good life in the homes of the wicked. (Psalms 84:10 NLT)
Spending only one twenty-four hour period of time, in Your glorious presence, is without equal and cannot even begin to be compared to spending twenty-four thousand hours or any amount of time spent, in any way, with anyone anywhere else, in any realm; for that place and person, in reality, just doesn't exist! So, when given the opportunity, I would easily choose, every time, without any hesitation or angst, to spend my time with You, Papa God. For it's a much more desirable, being a superiorly preferable experience and with greater benefits, to be enjoyed, than anything else, anywhere else! Therefore, even if I did nothing else, while in Your presence, than that of serving as a traffic supervisor, a head counter, a crowd control sentry, or even just a door monitor, with the simple task of greeting people, while holding the door open, to welcome them as they enter into Your presence; this, would be much more preferable than living a life of luxury, in a palatial mansion, with all the amenities and security one could imagine and without ever having any financial difficulties or challenges to worry about, while dwelling in the midst of those who are incorrigible and morally depraved. (Psalms 84:10 PDCP)
Bottom Line: It's never a good idea or decision, to choose to compromise or exchange your principles for serving your self-interest and fulfilling your own carnal and sinful desires. Nothing is ever going to be worth exchanging the divine for the profane, the temporal for the intrinsically eternal, the inane for the satisfying and fulfilling intimacy that we can have with Papa God. Don't give up your inheritance and spiritual freedom, in The LORD, for anything or anyone: Not for the promise of physical security, financial considerations, or the provision of your daily necessities. Not any of it will ever bring you peace, joy or fulfill the deepest yearnings and desires of your heart. Don't be like Esau, Jacob's brother, who exchanged his rightful eternal inheritance for a bowl of red stew; thereby, satisfying and fulfilling the immediacy of a temporary situation, his hunger pangs. (Genesis 25:30) So, to answer the Premise Question: Quality of life does matter and no amount of quantity of life will ever suffice or be able to replace or be a suitable substitute for quality of life, comparatively speaking, with regards to spending time with and serving Papa God, while living here on this earth. Blessings…
