Tempering Chocolate
A brief procedure about Melting Chocolate correctly
Author: Admin
Cuisine: Chocolate
Prep time:
Cook time:
Total time:
- Dark/White Compound (Chocolate)
- It is done using the set up of Double Boiler. Double boiler is a system in which steam is used to melt the product. So we use any small steel utensil and fill it with water. Then put another bigger steel utensil on top of it.
- Place the chocolate pieces (Grated or cut into small pieces) on top container.
- Place the set up on gas and once water starts boiling, steam is generated which helps in melting the chocolate.
- Stir it using spoon.
- Test to see if chocolate is completely melted is, it should not have any bubble/granulated appearance. Once chocolate is completely melted it shines brightly like Nutella chocolate sauce.
Two brands of chocolate generally used are Morde, and Salbonn which come in slabs of 1 kg.

Napster Controversy Essay, Research Paper
What is the big deal with the whole napster controversy? All it is is a network, which allows millions of people to share files, which are already available on the Internet.
People say things like, it s a form of stealing, because you are taking something from an artist that cost time and money to create. But honestly, if napster wasn t there people would have gotten these songs from another source. I personally use napster all the time for about a year and a half now, but before napster, I would get songs from mp3 chats or websites. Napster was just a quicker and more convenient way to get those same songs.
And another thing about napster is the kind of artist that disagree with it. For instance, Dr. Dre and Metallica both hate napster. Now, you say what could those two artists possibly have in common. The answer is their age. They both have been around for a while and aren t with the new wave of the future. Don t get me wrong, I love Dr. Dre, and I used to like metallica until they discontinued my napster, but someone really needs to help them realize, that they need to either get with the new generation or get left behind in the dust. They should be happy, there are so many Dr. Dre songs that I didn t t know existed until I looked in Napster for them.
Also Justin Timberlake of NSYNC says its like stealing hot dogs from a hotdog vendor when that is his only livelihood. Funny how Justin Timberlake has enough money to buy out a thousand hotdog vendors. And Justin Timberlake is also the same person who said that he makes music, not for the money but because he loves it. I don t think so. And I personally bought the NSYNC CD after I heard some of the songs off napster. I think napster enhances CD sales. Studies have shown that CD sales have not dropped since Napster became mainstream. Also true artists have nothing to worry about from Napster. It s the little 15 minutes of fame artists that should worry. No one is going to buy Brittany Spears s CD because she s just a fad, she makes cute songs that are nice in the moment, but they aren t something people will always remember and love. So she would be scared of Napster because people will not be interested in her enough to buy her CD when they can download it.
Napster is on the verge of being shut down but honestly there is no point in that because if Napster doesn t distribute free music, then another place will. And if Napster goes, then people will just be back to the old ways of downloading music. There is no stopping technology, no matter how much you try to restrict it or keep it under control, it will go in any direction its pulled. And the kids of today are most definitely going to pull it in the direction that most benefits them.

Citizens of EU, USA, Australia, Canada, Russia, and some Asian countries can get Visa on Arrival in Bangladesh, which is a pretty straight-forward process. Although there is a rule to take visa beforehand if you have a Bangladesh mission on the country where you are coming from, this rule is completely overlooked. They never check where you are coming from. They only check if you are a national of a country which are eligible for VOA, and directly issue the visa.
Unless there is a long Que for VOA, it will take just 10 minutes of your time to get VOA. Fee for most of the country is $51 USD. You'll not require any previous application or anything else to get the visa. However, they will ask you for your hotel reservation and a phone no of the hotel. Simply show our details itinerary which we will send you once you confirm your booking, where all the hotel information will be written. They will be happy enough to give you a VOA of maximum 30 days.
Check here for more information on visa on arrival for Bangladesh.

Local beer, when available, costs approx. $3 USD for a 300ml can, and a measure of spirits is similarly priced. Wine is not available. It may sometimes be possible to purchase alcohol outside the hotels, but it is prohibited to consume in public places.

"Sad Songs (Say So Much)" is a song by Elton John and is the closing track on the 1984 album Breaking Hearts. It reached the No 5 on the U.S. chart. The lyrics describe how it sometimes helps for someone who is feeling sad, or who has lost a partner, to listen to old radio blues classics. In the years since its issue, radio airplay has been modest compared with some of John's other 1980s singles.
The music video, directed by Russell Mulcahy and shot on a street in Rushcutters Bay, Sydney, featured John without his familiar trademark glasses in some scenes. The single sleeve likewise featured John with no glasses.
John performed the song on One Night Only: The Greatest Hits Live at Madison Square Garden with Canadian rock star Bryan Adams. In 2013, John was joined by Rod Stewart in a special performance of the song at the London Palladium after being presented with first Brits Icon award in recognition of his "lasting impact" on UK culture.[1]
The song and the music video were both utilized in an early '80s TV advertisement for Sasson Designer Jeans, altering the lyrics of the song to "Sasson says so much."[2]

1.1 Introduction
Nationality is the state of belonging to a particular country. According to Black's Law Dictionary (2004) 8th Edition at page 1053 nationality is defined as:
"The relationship between a citizen of a nation … customarily involving allegiance by the citizen and protection by the state…this term is used synonymously with citizenship"
A citizen on the other hand is someone who by either birth or naturalization is a member of a political community, owing allegiance to the community and being entitled to enjoy all its civil rights and protection; a member of a civil state entitled to all the privileges.
Before independence, nationality in Cameroon was governed by separate colonial instruments in the two Cameroons. Ordinance No. 59/066 of 28th November 1959 instituting the Cameroonian National Code of the French origin applied in East Cameroonian the British Nationality Act of 1949 of English origin applied in the West Cameroon.
Today the rules relating to Cameroon nationality law are found in two laws:
- Law No. 68-LF-3 of 11/6/68, "To set up the Cameroon Nationality Code"
- Decree No. 68-DF-478 of the 16/12/68, "To Establish Rules of Procedure Under the Nationality Code" which contains supplementary procedure
Cameroonian nationality is conveyed primarily by descent (jus sanguis), while nationality conveyed by birth (jus soli) is restricted to cases where the nationality of one or both parents is unknown.
There are three primary methods of attaining Cameroon nationality -birth, marriage, and naturalization.
There are three main ways by which Cameroon nationality can be lost or forfeited by:
- a)acquisition or retention of a foreign nationality
- b)voluntary renunciation of Cameroonian nationality, and
- c)Government decree.
1.2 The Code and the Decree
The 1968 Cameroon Nationality Code is divided into seven chapters and 48 Articles. Chapter one deals with general issues, Chapter 2 focuses on the Nationality of origin that is nationality acquired by descent and by birth, Chapter 3 deals with how the nationality of Cameroon can be acquired, Chapter four focuses on the nationality can be lost or forfeited while Chapter five contains acts that can be done to cause a person to forfeit the Cameroonian nationality. Chapter 6 focuses on the disputes on nationality and Chapter 7 contains transitionary provisions.
Decree No. 1968 DF-478 of the 16/12/68, to establish rules of procedure under the Nationality Code is made up of three Chapters. Chapter one contains supplementary notes on the procedure for the acquisition of Cameroon Nationality by marriage, Chapter two deals with the conditions for the examination of applications for naturalization and restoration and lastly Chapter three focuses on the proof of Nationality before the Courts.
The Code provides in Section 30 (1) that:
"The acquisition of Cameroonian Nationality implies enjoyment from the same date thereof of all the rights attached to nationality."
However, the Code does not make mention of the explicit rights and obligations of having the Cameroonian nationality. According to the Code Cameroonian citizenship is treated as nationality. It is therefore assumed that where the rights and obligations that go with being a citizen of the Republic of Cameroon found in the Constitutions such as the right to vote, life and a health environment to name a few are those rights and obligations that go with the Cameroonian Nationality.
The Code focuses on how the Cameroonian nationality is acquired, renounced, forfeited or lost.
According to the Code, the age of majority in Cameroon for the purpose of acquiring the Cameroonian nationality is 21 years. Worth noting is the fact that the Nationality Code and its decree are subject to international treaties and laws even if the provisions of such treaties and laws are contrary to the Nationality Code.[1] For example Article 9 of theConvention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination against women (CEDAW)[2] provides that:
"States Parties shall grant women equal rights with men to acquire, change or retaintheir nationality. They shall ensure in particular that neither marriage to an alien nor change of nationality by the husband during marriage shall automatically change the nationality of the wife, render her stateless or force upon her the nationality of the husband"[3]
It states also that:
"States Parties shall grant women equal rights with men with respect to the nationality of their children"[4]
- Cameroonian Nationality – The Code
Under the Code, Cameroonian nationality may be established as of origin or acquired. These can be by either of these ways:
Descent, Birth, marriage, Common, Declaration, naturalization.
1.1 Nationality of Origin
The code distinguishes between the acquisition of the nationality of Cameroon by a legitimate child and an illegitimate child. The Cameroonian Nationality can attach as a Nationality of origin in the following situations:
1.1.1 Descent:
126.96.36.199 Legitimate Children
Where the child is a legitimate child, the child must have been born of parents who have the Cameroonian nationality. However, under the Code if just one of the parents of a legitimate child is a Cameroonian such a child born in Cameroon can obtain the Cameroonian nationality. A legitimate child may also acquire the Cameroonian Nationality can also be obtained by descent where one of the parents of the child is a Cameroonian and the other has no nationality.
220.127.116.11 Illegitimate Children
An illegitimate child may acquire Cameroonian nationality where both parents are Cameroonians. Where an illegitimate child has two parents and one is a Cameroonian and his affiliation has first been established to this Cameroonian parent,, he may adopt the Cameroonian nationality subject to the right to renounce the nationality 6months before his majority if he was born out of Cameroon and if according to the national law of the foreign parent he is able to renounce Cameroonian nationality and avail himself of the foreign nationality.
An illegitimate child may also acquire Cameroonian nationality where one of his parents is a Cameroonian, and the other is of no nationality if his affiliation to the Cameroonian parent is later established.
1.1.2 Birth –by birth of either the parents of the child or/and the child
Section 9 of the Nationality Code provides that
'Cameroon nationality attaches to every child born in Cameroon of unknown parents'
It also states that a new-born child found in Cameroon will be presumed prima facie to have been born in Cameroon.
126.96.36.199 Legitimate Children
According to the Code, the Cameroonian nationality attaches to a legitimate child who is born of foreign parents,if both the child and his mother or father were born in Cameroon.
188.8.131.52 Illegitimate Children
In the case of an illegitimate child, who is born of parents who are foreigners, the child becomes a Cameroonian nationalif the child and the parent to whom his affiliation is first established were born in Cameroon.
In these cases the child will become a Cameroonian national subject to the right to renounce it within 6months before majority.
The Cameroonian nationality also extends automatically to any one born in Cameroon who is unable to claim any other nationality of origin.
1.1.3 Common
Section 14 of the Nationality Code provides that for the Cameroonian Nationality to be attached, affiliation must be established either by the Cameroonian law or by custom. Furthermore the Code provides that a child having Cameroonian nationality as a result of descent or birth shall be deemed to be a Cameroonian from birth even if the conditions required by law for the attachment of that nationality are not satisfied.
This can only happen provided:
- The attachment of Cameroonian nationality from birth does not affect the validity of acts- in- the-law of the person in question
- the attachment of Cameroonian nationality from birth does not affect the rights acquired by third parties on the basis of the child's apparent nationality (Cameroonian)
1.2 Nationality by Acquisition
Additionally the Cameroonian nationality can be acquired through the following ways:
1.2.1 Marriage:
Marriage is one of the ways through which a person who is not born a Cameroonian can acquire the Cameroonian nationality. Under the Code, a foreign woman marrying a Cameroonian may acquire Cameroonian nationality at the moment of celebration of the marriage by express request. A foreign woman may also decline to acquire the Cameroonian nationality at the time of the celebration of the marriage.
Acquisition through marriage must be done through a declaration signed before the Judge of the magistrate court or diplomatic representative of Cameroon abroad or the President of the Civil Court at the Chief town (or president of the district court) of the subdivision in which the declarant resides. According to Decree No. 68 DF-478 of the 16th December 1968 to establish the rules of procedure under the Nationality code, such declaration must be done in three copies and signed before or at the time the marriage is being celebrated between the Cameroonian and the foreign woman or one presumed to be foreign (could be the man).[5]
The Decree provides that the original of the declaration shall be transmitted to the civil status registrar who is responsible for celebrating the marriage, while the second copy shall be handed to the declarant and the third copy shall be placed in a special register.[6] Before the celebration of the marriage the civil status registrar shall inform the foreigner who is marrying the Cameroonian of the conditions of acquiring the Cameroonian nationality and shall explain the conditions found in the Code relating to the acquisition of Cameroonian nationality through marriage.[7]
Furthermore, according to the Decree, the civil status registrar shall forward a copy of the marriage registration together with the declaration made by the foreigner for registration at the Ministry of Justice for registration.[8] This shall be done within a month from the day of the celebration of the marriage. The declarant must satisfy the conditions found in the Code and its decree for the registration of the marriage to take place. Where these conditions are not fulfilled the Ministry of Justice has the right to refuse the registration of the marriage. Where the Ministry refuses to register the marriage, their decision and the reason for their decision shall be notified to the declarant who has the right to make a new declaration following the procedure provided for by the decree. According to the Decree, the declarant shall request an attestation having the force of a registration of the declaration; 6months after the celebration of the marriage where there is neither a decision to refuse registration nor a decree establish the opposition of the government. This attestation shall be transmitted by the Ministry of Justice.
Additionally, under the Decree, the legal department or any person may challenge the validity of the registered declaration at any time.
The Code also provides that the acquisition of Cameroonian nationality by marriage may be prevented by government decree six months after the celebration of the marriage while this law is in force or 6months from the date of promulgation of this law for marriages that have already been celebrated.
1.2.2 Declaration
Another way in which the Cameroonian nationality can be acquired is by declaration. The Code allows persons who are not Cameroonian nationals to acquire the Cameroonian nationality by declaration however this is subject to the right by the government to prevent such acquisition by decree.
Persons who are foreigners or of other nationalities may declare their desire to acquire the Cameroonian nationality provided that the person was born in Cameroon and has been resident in Cameroon for at least 5years before the declaration. This declaration must be done 6months before attaining majority. This means that a foreigner who is born in Cameroon but has another nationality may acquire the Cameroonian nationality by declaring 6months before majority that he wishes to acquire the Cameroonian nationality provided that on the date of his declaration he has been resident in Cameroon for at least 5years. The law is silent as to if the 5years period must be a continuous, uninterrupted 5 years. The declaration shall be signed before the Judge or President of the Civil Court at the Chief town of the subdivision in which the declarant resides.
Again where a foreign child is adopted by a Cameroonian, the child may also declare within 6months before attaining majority that he claims Cameroonian nationality provided that he has been domicile in Cameroon.[9]
Additionally, where a parent has been restored the Cameroonian nationality followed the rules of restoration of the nationality under Section 28, the children of this person be they minor or majors who are already married may claim Cameroonian nationality by declaration (as provided by the Decree and Code) not withstanding where they were born and wherever they are resident.
It is worth noting that any declaration be it declaring the wish to acquire, decline or renounce or abandoning the right to renounce the Cameroonian nationality where ever this is provided by the law shall be signed before the Judge or the President of the Civil Court at the chief town of the subdivision in which the declarant resides. A declarant outside Cameroon shall sign the declaration or formal request before a diplomatic or consular representative of Cameroon. The Code makes the registration of the declaration mandatory without which such declarations shall be null and void.
1.2. 3 Naturalization
Cameroonian nationality can also be acquired by naturalization. The Code provides the conditions under which a person can acquire the nationality by naturalization while its Decree focuses on the procedure for the acquiring the nationality by naturalization. Section 24 of the Code provides that:
"Cameroonian Nationality may be conferred by decree on a foreigner requesting it"
This implies that a foreigner may only acquire Cameroonian nationality by expressly requesting the nationality. The application for the naturalization shall be addressed to the Minister of Justice, keeper of the seals.[10] The person applying must state expressly the reason why he wishes to acquire the Cameroonian nationality. The applicant must attach to the application the following documents:
- a)A curriculum Vitae
- b)A copy of his birth registration
- c)A copy of a marriage certificate or civil booklet where it applies
- d)A copy of birth certificates of his children who are minors and unmarried.
- e)Any other document which ascertains the full knowledge of the facts which may support his application.
On receipt of the application, the Minister of Justice shall cause a police inquiry to be conducted into the morals, conduct and loyalty of the applicant. He shall ascertain the degree of his assimilation to the Cameroonian community and the interest of this naturalization from a national point of view.
The Code provides strictly that the Cameroonian nationality can not be conferred on a person:
- a)Who has not attained the full age of 21years
- b)Who cannot show habitual residence in Cameroon for 5 consecutive years up to presentation of the application
- c)Whose main interests are not based in Cameroon at the time of the signature of the naturalization decree
- d)Who is not of good character and morals, or who has been convicted of an offence against ordinary law and has not been expunged by rehabilitation or amnesty
- e)Who is not of sound body and mind
The Minister has to transmit the bulletin of the police records to the applicant who shall be subjected to medical examination.[11] The medical examination shall ascertain his physical and mental capacity. The medical examination shall be carried out by a board whose composition and function shall be determined by joint order of the Minister of Justice and the Ministry in Charge of Public Health.
In making the decision to grant the nationality to a foreigner the Minister of Justice shall request the opinion of the Minister in Charge of Territorial Administration with regard to the application for naturalization.
The Minister has the discretion to accept or deny granting the application for naturalization. The applicant shall be notified of whatever decision that is taken by the Minister. The Decree provides that the applicant shall pay the sum of 30.000 FRS to the treasury before the signature of the decree of naturalization in case his application is granted.
It is worth nothing that the Cameroonian Code seemly/impliedly provides for a probationary period (it will seem) for the grant of Cameroonian nationality to a foreigner. It provides in Section 26 that 'notwithstanding the foregoing section, no probationary period shall be required of a foreigner born in Cameroon or married to a Cameroon wife or a foreigner who has rendered exceptional services to Cameroon or whose naturalization would be highly advantageous to Cameroon.
Naturalization in Cameroon is finalized by the passing of a decree of naturalization of the applicant which shall be published in the Official Gazette. The decree becomes effective from the date of their signing however such decrees shall not prejudice the validity of any acts of law carried out by the naturalized person or the rights acquired by third parties before the publication of the decree. This means that such decrees cannot act retrospectively.
The decree of naturalization may be revoked within a year from the date of discovery of a mistake or fraud on the part of the applicant or where the person did not satisfy the conditions required by law for naturalization
- Losing and Forfeiting the Cameroonian Nationality
Cameroonian nationality can be lost or forfeited. It may also be renounced by a person who is already a Cameroonian.
2.1 Loss
The Code lists 3 ways through which the Cameroonian nationality can be lost. These include:
- a)Willfully acquiring or keeping a foreign nationality
- b)Renunciation under the Code
- c)Retaining a post in a public service of an international or foreign body notwithstanding an injunction by the Cameroonian government to resign.[12]
According to the Code, loss of Cameroonian nationality frees the person who losses it of all allegiance to Cameroon.[13]
2.2 Forfeiture
The Code does not define forfeiture of Cameroonian nationality. It however states that:
'A foreigner who has acquired Cameroonian nationality may forfeit it by decree'
This implies that forfeiture of the Cameroonian nationality of Cameroonian nationality under the Code is contemplated in the case of foreigners who have acquired Cameroonian nationality and later on carry out certain acts causing the government to rid them of the Nationality. The Code provides for two situations where the Cameroonian nationality may be forfeited namely:
- a)Where a foreigner is convicted of an act defined as a criminal Act or an offence against the internal or external security of the state.
- b)Where the foreigner commits an act which is harmful to the interest of the state.
For a foreigner to forfeit the Cameroonian Nationality, the act carried out must have taken place within 10years from the time he acquired the nationality. The forfeiture can only be pronounced within 10years from the commission of the act. (time barred after ten year the act is not pronounced).
- Restoration
The Code and its supplementary decree do not define restoration of Cameroonian nationality. Section 28 of the Code provides that:
"Restoration of the Cameroon nationality shall be conferred by decree without condition of age or probation but subject to necessity of proof that the applicant was formerly a Cameroonian and showing residence in Cameroon at the moment of restoration
Section 29 also provides that
'No person who has forfeited Cameroonian nationality may be restored to it without having later rendered exceptional service to Cameroon'
It can therefore be presumed that restoration of the Cameroonian nationality occurs when the nationality has either been lost or forfeited.
According to the Decree, the application for restoration shall be addressed to the Minister of Justice, Keeper of the Seals.[14] The Decree provides the list of documents that must accompany the application. These include:
- a)A copy of the enactment whereby the applicant was granted foreign nationality
- b)Any paper or document establishing that the was in possession of the status of Cameroonian nationality
- c)A certificate of residence issued by the Mayor or sub-prefect of his place of residence[15] (implying that the person must be resident in Cameroon)
- d)A curriculum vitae of the applicant
- e)A copy of his marriage registration or civil status booklet where applicable
- f)Copies of birth registration of the applicant's minor unmarried children
- g)A medical certificate not more than three months old.
Restoration of Cameroonian Nationality in Cameroon is finalized by the passing of a decree of restoration of the applicant which shall be published in the Official Gazette. The decree becomes effective from the date of their signing however such decrees shall not prejudice the validity of any acts of law carried out by the restored person or the rights acquired by third parties before the publication of the decree. This means that such decrees cannot act retrospectively.
The decree of restoration may be revoked within a year from the date of discovery of a mistake or fraud on the part of the applicant or where the person did not satisfy the conditions required by law for restoration.
- Disputes
The Code does not specify which court has the jurisdiction to entertain disputes relating to Cameroonian nationality. It is silent as to whether it is the High Court or the Court of First instance. It only states that: 'the ordinary civil courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction of disputes on a question of nationality.' However, Section 18 (1)b of Law No. 2006/015 of 29thDecember 2006 on Judicial Organization gives the High Court the jurisdiction in issues relating to affiliation and status of persons. It can therefore be assumed that any such disputes in relation to a person's nationality should be brought before the High Court of the residence of that person.
According to the Code, any action relating to such disputes shall be brought before the court of the domicile or residence of the person whose nationality is in dispute according to the rules of procedure in force.
Under the Code, a Cameroonian can raise the issue of nationality as a defense before foreign courts during any proceeding before such court. Where this happens the proceedings in such a court shall be stayed until the issue of nationality is determined. The determination of nationality shall be before ordinary courts. It is not clear if these ordinary civil courts are the courts in Cameroon or the court of the country where the proceedings are taking place. However, the Code provides that the Legal department shall be made a party and the representation of the state shall lie within its exclusive jurisdiction. The final judgment on the question of nationality before the civil courts is notwithstanding the ordinary law res judicata against the world.
The burden of proof of matters of nationality rest with the party who by an action or an incidental plea of defense claims that he possesses or does not possess Cameroonian Nationality. However, the burden of proof shall be transferred to a person disputing the nationality of a Cameroonian who possesses a certificate of Cameroonian nationality issued by the judges of civil courts sitting at the chief towns of subdivisions the burden of proof shall be transferred to such a person disputing such nationality.
The Code provides that a certificate of nationality shall be given to a person to prove that he has the Cameroonian nationality. This certificate shall be delivered by the Judges of civil courts sitting at the chief town of subdivisions exclusively. The Code is silent as to when a certificate of nationality shall be delivered as such it does not say whether such a certificate can only be given on request by the person. However the custom has been that such certificates are given by the Magistrate Courts on demand by a person who wishes to acquire a certificate of nationality.
Furthermore the Code provides that the certificate of nationality shall make reference to Chapters I and III of the Code.[16] The judge may refuse to deliver a certificate of nationality. Where he refuses the refusal shall be established by an attestation. The person who has been refused a certificate of nationality has the right to apply to the Minister of Justice who will decide whether the person should be issued a certificate of nationality.
- Proof Cameroonian nationality before the Courts
The proof of Cameroonian nationality shall be prima facie by a certificate of nationality.
According to the supplementary Decree, proof of a declaration to acquire nationality shall be established by the production of a registered copy of such declaration. Where this is absent it shall be established by an attestation delivered by the Minister of Justice either certifying that the declaration has been duly signed and registered or issued in lieu of registration.
Where the Code provides that the right to sign a declaration renouncing or declining Cameroonian nationality such as in the case of marriage, proof that such a declaration has not been signed may only be established by an attestation delivered by the Minister of Justice.
The Decree provides that proof of a decree of naturalization or restoration shall be established by the production of a copy of the official Gazette in which such a decree was published. In lieu of this, proof may only be established by an attestation from the Keeper of the Seals certifying the existence of such a decree.
Under the Decree, proof of a declaration renouncing Cameroonian nationality shall be established by the production of a registered copy of such declaration or failing this of an attestation from the Ministry of Justice certifying that the declaration of renunciation has been duly signed and registered.
In cases where Cameroonian Nationality is lost in circumstances not provided by the Code either by loss, or forfeiture or by renunciation during marriage, proof shall be established by ascertaining the veracity of the facts and acts which resulted in the loss of nationality.
The Decree provides that the proof of foreign nationality shall be established by any means except in the cases of the loss or forfeiture of Cameroonian nationality. This provision is subject to the fact that the foreign nationality of the person possessing the status of a Cameroonian shall only be established by a demonstration that the person concerned satisfies one of the conditions imposed by law for possession of the status of a Cameroonian.
- Dual Nationality
A person is considered a dual national when he or she owes allegiance to more than one country at the same time.[17]A claim to allegiance may be based on of birth, marriage, parentage, or naturalization. A dual national may, while in the jurisdiction of either country that considers that person it's national, be subject to all of its laws, including being conscripted for military service. There is no internationally agreed upon principle governing dual citizenship. Each country is free to determine how it will treat an individual who is a national of both that country and of another.
The Cameroon nationality Code provides clearly that:
"Cameroonian nationality is lost by any Cameroonian adult national who willfully acquires or keeps a foreign nationality"[18] It goes on the state that "…loss of Cameroon nationality frees from allegiance to Cameroon:"[19] It is therefore very clear that the Nationality Code does not provide for dual nationality and a Cameroonian can not be said to have two nationalities. According to the Code you are either a Cameroonian or you are not. Since the Code has not been amended this position is still good law presently.
The Cameroon government has been very liberal towards Cameroonian soccer players or other persons who have acquired other nationalities and still retain the Cameroonian nationality; the position of the law is very clear on this issue. There is a global movement towards greater acceptance of dual nationality in countries around the world and even in Cameroon.
- Conclusion
The Cameroon nationality code and its enabling Decree is a very restrictive piece of legislation dealing with nationality. It omits several important several issues which touch on the Cameroonian nationality. It fails to give a clear definition to several important issues in the Code and falls short of a contemporary law on nationality.
What is striking about the Code is the manner in which the code makes a distinct difference between the acquisition of the Cameroonian nationality by an illegitimate child as oppose to legitimate children. This demonstrates the attention that Cameroon places on the status of illegitimate and legitimate children which characterizes many other laws in Cameroon.
Finally, the current Cameroon citizenship laws prohibition on holding dual nationality creates a diverse set of detrimental impact on its people, both in Cameroon and amongst the sizable emigrant population. The negative effects are rift, ranging from dilemmas at personal levels to microeconomic levels.

HELENA – Democratic U.S. House candidate John Lewis unveiled his first TV ad of the campaign Monday, in which he takes a veiled shot at his Republican opponent, Ryan Zinke.
Lewis, a former top staffer for U.S. Sen. Max Baucus of Montana, appears in the 30-second ad with his wife, Melissa, and their two young children outside a Helena home, before saying "I don't have my own super PAC trying to buy me a seat in Congress."
The reference is to Special Operations for America, a political action committee (PAC) founded by Zinke that so far has spent at least $205,000 on independent expenditures supporting Zinke's candidacy.
The ad also touts Lewis' proposal to reform Congress by cutting congressional pay by 10 percent, restricting when PACs can help their founders running for office, and requiring Congress to pass a budget before getting paid.
Zinke's campaign didn't respond directly to the jab about the PAC, but called Lewis a "D.C. insider who has spent his life drawing a government salary and catering to the needs of special interest groups – not Montanans."
"Lewis is once again misleading Montanans with this ad and Montana deserves better than to be represented by a political hack that is merely taking the positions he believes will get him elected," said Zinke's campaign spokeswoman, Shelby DeMars.
Lewis campaign spokeswoman Kathy Weber said Lewis' proposals would help reform a system that allows Zinke to use a special-interest PAC to round up out-of-state money to support his candidacy.
The Lewis spot begins airing Tuesday on television stations statewide, said Lewis campaign spokeswoman Kathy Weber. The campaign released a copy of the ad Monday.
Lewis, Zinke and Libertarian Mike Fellows of Missoula are competing for Montana's sole U.S. House seat, which is open this year because U.S. Rep. Steve Daines, R-Mont., is running for the U.S. Senate.
Zinke is a former state senator from Whitefish and retired U.S. Navy SEAL officer. Lewis worked a dozen years for Baucus, leaving last year when he was Baucus' state director.
TV ads have been airing since late last year in Montana's U.S. Senate race, but the contest for Montana's U.S. House seat usually doesn't heat up on the air waves until around Labor Day.
Lewis had only nominal competition in the June primary election, allowing him to build up his campaign fund, while Zinke won a closely fought, five-way Republican primary for the seat, spending considerable funds on TV ads before the June 3 election.
Zinke has yet to run TV ads during the general election season.
Lewis had about $623,000 in his campaign account as of June 30, out of $1 million in total campaign funds raised. Zinke collected $1.6 million in campaign funds through June 30, but had spent all but $97,000 of it by that date.

Who Marries Whom and Why
This paper proposes and estimates a static transferable utility model of the marriage market. The model generates a nonparametric marriage matching function with spillover effects. It rationalizes the standard interpretation of marriage rate regressions and points out its limitations. The model was used to estimate U.S. marital behavior in 1971/72 and 1981/82. The marriage matching function estimates show that the gains to marriage for young adults fell substantially over the decade. Unlike contradictory marriage rate regression results, the marriage matching function estimates showed that the legalization of abortion had a significant quantitative impact on the fall in the gains to marriage for young men and women.

Holiday Christmas Light Installation in Post Falls – Christmas is about love, fun, and holiday cheer, but it can be hard sometimes to keep a positive outlook when there's so much work to do. Putting out decorations, setting up the tree, sending out cards, finding the perfect presents – all of these tasks add just a little bit more stress to your already busy schedule. One great way to save yourself some time this year is to hire a Christmas light installation company in Post Falls to set up your home lighting display for you.
You may only have a modest display, but these days many people have extravagant set ups that require a lot of planning and labor. Whether you're wanting to light up the holidays or add just a bit of cheer, hiring a professional to hang your lights can save you a lot of effort. The time you would've been using to untangle the lights, replace the faulty bulbs, and figure out how to hang it can now be spent with your family, finishing up other chores, or just relaxing.
When you're straining to keep things within your budget during the holidays, paying someone else to do this chore might seem a bit luxurious. One important thing to consider when trying to decide if this is right for you is how much time you'll end up saving. A professional may only spend a few hours completing a task that could take you days. We sometimes get so caught up in the spirit of doing things ourselves that it actually interferes with our lives more than shelling out a few dollars for a bit of help would. Time is money, so paying for holiday light installation in Post Falls may actually cost less than you might think.
If you're looking for lower rates, you may want to consider having your Christmas lights hung a couple months early. As the holiday season draws near, light installation companies will get more and more business. Time may be limited and rates may be higher during November and December. Consider having your lights hung in September or October when business is slower to save on Christmas light installation costs in Post Falls.
If you've tried to hang holiday lights in the past then you know how risky a job it can be. Climbing ladders and working on roofs can be hazardous, especially if it's been snowing. Instead of taking on this project yourself, reduce risk by hiring a professional holiday light installation company in Post Falls that has the equipment and experience to help avoid any disasters. Someone who does this for a living has safety procedures to ensure nothing goes wrong, helping you rest easy in the knowledge that your holidays won't be ruined.
There are many companies who will offer to hang your Christmas lights in Post Falls. Don't choose just anyone. You want to make sure that you can rely on the company you choose for both your installation and take-down needs. The most attractive prices may not always be the best deal. When searching for the right company, make sure to compare prices, services, and reputation alike. The companies who know what they're doing also know what prices are fair, and you'll be happy knowing that you received the best service possible. A company with significantly lower prices may unfortunately offer significantly lower service. Make sure to take all factors into account before choosing a light installation company for your needs.
A great method for finding a reliable Christmas light installer in Post Falls is to look at online reviews. Like with most contractors, you can probably find reviews on third party websites like Angies List or Google Plus. If the company you're considering has a history of good service, it will reflect in their customer reviews. A company that has left behind many unhappy customers will likely have many negative reviews, helping you know to avoid their service.
There are so many demands on your time during the holiday season. Don't let the task of hanging up Christmas lights ruin the holiday spirit. Find a holiday light installation company in Post Falls to help make the job easier and help your Christmas time be both merry and bright. Sometimes hiring a little bit of help when you're overworked is worth the investment.

Soap & Glory Glow Lotion Review
Guest Review By Shilpa
Soap and Glory is a brand I always check out in Sephora (not just because it makes such a pretty sight with bubble-gummy packaging but) because the brand talks in such a playful manner. Their tone of voice is spirited, tongue-in-cheek and super engaging. Everything they write on their packs is super fun to read (heck, they even make boring 'testing' information interesting, read on to know more). As a result, I have a huge stash of Soap and Glory products but today the focus is on one of my favorites, the Soap and Glory Glow Lotion.
What Soap and Glory says:
What it is: A drop-dead gorgeous highlighting glimmer lotion for the body. Apply tactically to emphasize your best assets. Scented with our Original Pink fragrance.
What it does: Use Glow Lotion all over as a moisturizer, on your neck and shoulders as a fragrant shimmer, or as a stand-in for stockings when you find yourself short of a little shine.
What else you need to know: This lotion is scented with fresh bergamot, strawberries, and mandarin, with floral and fruity mid-notes, and musk, amber and warm vanilla notes on the bottom.
And the testing info I was referring to earlier: Soap & Glory™ formulas are not tested on animals, only very picky people.
Glow Lotion found its way into my skincare stash through a Filipino friend's recommendation. Always in dresses showing off her slender legs – the Glow lotion is her magic potion. She said the only days she wears jeans is when she doesn't have time to apply the glow lotion on her legs! Now that is some praise.
My Experience With Soap & Glory Glow Lotion:
Comes in a sturdy transparent plastic bottle showing the pearlized caramel lotion inside. A plastic cap covers the nozzle. The pump dispenser works smoothly and dispenses a beige-pink-with-slight-sheen liquid into your hands. In terms of viscosity, it is medium thick but absorbs super fast into the skin. Not gloopy or sticky. A little blob of the thing goes a long way and can cover a fair bit of skin area. And by this time, I am delighted with the end result! My skin looks dewy, healthy and radiant with a subtle, sexy glow! No glitter, no shimmer – just well-cared-for-and-looked-after skin.
The fragrance is sophisticated and complex, where you cant really make out what you are smelling, but it smells good. Used in moderation is great, otherwise I feel it may interfere with your perfume. The fragrance also stays with you a long time, over 4-5 hours, will stay longer if you are using other Soap and Glory products with this Original Pink fragrance.
However, even though this is a lotion, it cannot replace a moisturizer. For best results, I think this should be used in conjunction with your regular moisturizing lotion that you use all over and them pump the Glow Lotion at specific places like collar bone / décolletage / shoulders / shins / arms / legs that you want to 'sexify'.
What Works:
- That nice, subtle, sexy glow
- Quick absorption / no stickiness
- Skin feels smoother
- Luscious fruity-floral-musky fragrance
- A little goes a long way
- Cruelty free, Soap and Glory products are not tested on animals
What May Not Work:
- Not a moisturizer – should be used over one
Rating: A
Price: Available online in India for INR 800
Will I repurchase? The bottle will last a long time, but I will definitely repurchase once over.
Recommendation: The Soap and Glory glow lotion ensures that when you show a little skin, you do it fabulously . While it may not be a must-have in your beauty arsenal, there are times when a girl wants to glow, right?

text: Can you arrange to get an SA without actually making a purchase first? I mainly want to have eyes out for things because I dont get out much, and if you live in NJ you know what a pain in the a it is going out to Short Hills Mall if you dont live close to it. I know my old boss in DC had an SA at NM that had been hers for for like 11 years, they got matched up when she was broke but wanted eyes out for when this particular skirt went on its last clearance. She got the skirt, and that SA got demoted to stationary. Doesnt matter because Mei wont shop with anyone else and 3 times a year the SA gets credit for 10K+ in purchases! I cant make a large ticket purchase a lot, but having a contact would sure be handy!

A UNIQUE archive of Sir Jimmy Shand instruments, awards and personal artefacts goes under the hammer this week.
The collection includes over 60 historical items and paints a fascinating picture of the famous accordion player's life.
It is expected to fetch more than £7,000 at the McTear's Works of Art Sale in Glasgow on Friday (16 Sept).
Among the items going under the hammer are Sir Jimmy's collection of 13 antique melodeon accordions, the big red book and script from the musician's 1978 appearance on This is Your Life, several gold discs celebrating his remarkable recording career, diaries, kilts and sporrans, record label
contracts, photographs and even a Canadian Stetson made specially for Sir Jimmy.
Although the accordion collection will undoubtedly be one of the highlights of the auction, the most valuable lot is reserved for an alloy diesel nameplate, engraved with Sir Jimmy's name.
The plate, which featured on locomotive 37188 until 1996, could fetch up to £2,000.

The collection is being sold by the late musician's son Jimmy, who feels the time is right to share some of his father's memories with other fans of Scottish music.
He said: "This memorabilia has been stored away in cupboards for 16 years since my dad passed away.
"I'm coming up to 80 years old myself, and I'm not getting any younger.
"A lot of people have said to me over the years, 'I'd love to have something of old Jimmy's'.
"It's a complete collection. They've all got memories for me, but I hope someone else will treasure and enjoy them."
He added: "Although I have kept many very personal items associated with my father, I felt that there are lots of fans out there who would get enjoyment from these important pieces of Scottish traditional music memorabilia," said Jimmy.
"There are clearly some high profile pieces in the collection but there are also a significant number of smaller, affordable items that have fascinating stories attached.
Tom Reid, from McTear's Auctioneers, said: "Sir Jimmy Shand is one of the most recognisable figures in Scottish traditional music with a reputation that spans the globe.
"The archive tells a wonderful and detailed story of the musical genius through a selection of musical and non-musical items from the earlier part of 20th Century right through to the 1990s.
"I have no doubt that anyone with an interest in Scottish music will find
something of interest in this marvellous collection."

Today I'm delighted to share with you the newest pattern from Bella Sunshine Designs – the Vintage Grace Flutter Dress! This darling dress is the perfect summer dress for girls. It features little flutter sleeves, a sweet scooped back, and a simple bodice front that is perfect for embellishments!
I think my favorite part of this dress is the back of the bodice. It is sweet, simple, and really defines the dress. The three buttons add to the charm. It is the perfect place to add a pop of color or use special buttons. For this project, I used vintage buttons from the collection that my grandma gave me. Vintage buttons have so much character – I love incorporating them into almost every project that I can as my own little signature touch.
One thing that I love about the Vintage Grace Flutter Dress is that it is fully lined! Other than the side seams of the skirts, there are no exposed seams at all. If you don't have a serger and still want a very polished look for the inside of the dress, you can just do french seams as a finish for the side seams. The pattern itself is very easy to follow with clear step-by-step directions. The pattern pieces print out with different colored lines for each size so it is easy to remember which line to cut on.
While I made this dress out of an eyelet type of fabric, this pattern is perfect for those gorgeous summer wovens that are gracing the shelves of every fabric store around! Because I used such a thin fabric, I ended up needing to line the skirt, which wasn't part of the original pattern. To line it, I made a shorter hemmed skirt and slipped it inside the main skirt and basted it together before gathering the lining and outer skirt together. Since I was using upcycled materials, the lining ended up having a center back seam, so I finished off a slit to match the placket that was in the main skirt. The lining was well worth it, because the fabric is just so perfect for this style. While my fabric source may be a bit unconventional, I was delighted that I was able to completely cut this size 5 dress out the skirt and lining of a girls size 16 sundress that I found at a yard sale for 75 cents. I love giving tossed-aside garments new life with little upcycles like this!
It is worth mentioning that this particular dress was made in the first round of testing and the dress pattern was later lengthened to be knee length after I completed this dress. I do love this length for wearing with leggings though – a dressy look with a comfy playful feel for the wearer. The pattern does include an even shorter tunic length that is perfect to pair with these darling Bow Tie Leggings.
I can't wait to make my next Vintage Grace Flutter Dress and I'm delighted to have discovered Bella Sunshine Designs! I love the potential for embellishment on the bodice and flutters – lots of room for creativity. With a size range from 6 months – 12 years, I'm sure we will get lots of use out of this pattern. This pattern will be on sale through Thursday (5/12), so head on over and grab your own copy of the Vintage Grace Flutter Dress before the sale is over. Can't wait to see what you make!
(I received a free copy of the pattern in testing. This post also contains affiliate links which support Sew and Tell Project so we can continue to bring quality content to you. All reviews and opinions are my own.)
November is half over already, and the season of Advent is fast approaching. Now is…
Welcome to the Sew and Tell Project! Today I'm excited to tell you…
Just gorgeous! Sometimes simple white is just divine! Beautiful sew & model!
