Nigerian Woman Divorces Husband Because She Can't Handle The Size Of His Manhood!
Most marriages end because the size of the man's penis doesn't necessarily meet the wife's requirements or desires, not in this particular situation.
A newly-married Nigerian woman has filed for divorce as she says she can not handle the pain that comes with the size of her husbands manhood.
Aisha Dannupawa and Ali Maizinari have been married for just two weeks and after two sexual encounters Aisha would like to call it quits. africanseer.com reports that Aisha wants a divorce because her husbands penis is just too big for her to bear with.
Aisha basically told a Nigerian court about the excruciating pain that she experiences every time she has sex with her husband.
She then continued to explain the agonising experience of their very first sexual experience. Aisha explains that she had to go on medication to help with the pain after the sexual intercourse.
"When we had sex for the first time, the experience was a nightmare. Instead of enjoying the sex, it turned out to be something else because his manhood was too big. After that first time, I had to take medication offered given to me by my mother.
"I told my mother the experience but she told me to endure and that with time, I will be able to cope. She then gave me some drugs. Two days later, when he came to visit me, we had sex again but the experience was too much to bear.
"It was then I knew that I could not continue with the marriage because of the size of his joystick." africanseer.com quoted her as saying.
Husband Ali Maizinari to the court that he doesn't mind granting his wife's request, the divorce will only come with one condition, Aisha will have to pay back Ali the N60 000 (R3539.01) lobola that he took out for her.
Is Ali's 'problem' one to be proud of or one that he should worry about?

It is not uncommon for states to have different names for the same legal topic. As people move around the country, these differences can lead to some confusion. One such topic is legal separation. A legal separation can occur if the parties have jointly contracted regarding what will occur concerning all aspects of their marriage, including their assets, marital property, their liabilities, custody of their children, child support, and their respective rights and responsibilities.
In Maryland, couples appearing in court have two options when considering divorce — either limited or absolute. A limited divorce is a tool that the court may use to provide financial support and handle custody of children. A lawyer at the Law Office of Marie Palmquist, LLC can work with you to learn more about your options.
Property Settlement Attorney in Southern Maryland
The court requires the parties to participate in good faith efforts to reconcile the disputes either through formal mediation or through settlement conferences with the court. Even if the court would not require this, an experienced attorney will assist you in trying to settle your case, providing you certainty in the result that you will obtain.
Property mediations are most frequently handled by experienced domestic attorneys as they understand and can advise you in what an expected outcome may be in the court system. Marie S. Palmquist, Esquire is not only an experienced domestic attorney but also an experienced mediator.
If you have questions regarding limited divorce, separation agreements or the process of divorce mediation, do not hesitate to contact our firm.

According to details, one of the suspects was nabbed from Sukkur and the other one from Lahore. During a wide-spread combing operation across Punjab, the law enforcement officials have also detained as many as 40 suspects including eight Afghans .
Earlier, the sketch of suicide bomber who ripped through protester at Charing Cross of Mall Road claiming lives of 13 people was put forth after analyzing CCTV footage, eye witnesses and statements by injured.
According to intelligence sources, the suicide bomber belonged to Jamat-ul-Ahrar, a faction of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).
On the other hand, the government of Punjab has ordered a Joint Investigation Committee (JIT) for the horrific Lahore blast. SSP Muhammad Iqbal Khan will lead the JIT.
On the other hand, Pakistan also summoned Afghan envoy to formally lodge protest regarding the sanctuaries in Afghanistan allegedly being used against Pakistan.

Can you count the counting books?
One of my children choose a counting book at the library the other day, and I thought about how my youngest was just about able to start counting and maybe I should find another counting book too. So we came home with a collection of them, with me rejoicing in the differences between each book. Some books count different things – five oranges, six apples, for example, while other groups count one group that grows and shrinks. Some books start with one, others with zero. Some start to move into multiplication, grouping things together. I'm describing them here starting with Continue reading

During my last business trip to Asia, I went to Honk-Kong, Shanghai, and Zhengzhou. Our stay in Zhengzhou was shorter than a blink of an eye but we managed to stay two days in Shanghai. Our colleagues there were amazingly welcoming and warm and I really had a great time with them. We walked around a bit and discovered a few restaurants (like Lu Bo Lang), temples (especially Jing'an in the heart of the city) and a few neighborhoods.
Here's a selection of my favorite shots. Enjoy!

text: As I mentioned on another thread, I'm currently a little over 7 months pregnant with a chowbaby. I have had very few cravings so far during the pregnancy but I've been having the most intense cravings as of late for pumpkin baked goods. Pies, muffins, scones, donuts, cakes, cookies, bars. I'm down for whatever. It may still be too early but if you've spotted anything in your chow travels lately, let me know!

The ordination process begins and ends with a leader called by God to the Gospel ministry. It also involves the recognition of this call by the local church where the leader is serving. But the Converge Rocky Mountain family of churches and church leaders are also involved in advising the church and in serving the ordination candidate. Thus the ordination process is detailed below for Converge Rocky Mountain churches and leaders:
Steps to Ordination
From the Perspective of the Candidate and Church:
- The candidate's church leadership informs the CRM Executive Minister of its desire to ordain a candidate.
- The Converge regional staff sends the handbook on ordination to the candidate and the ordaining church.
- The Candidate completes a 12-15 page paper outlining their call to ministry, philosophy of ministry and statement of beliefs and sends a copy to the CRM office.
- A pre-ordination team is selected to review the candidate's paper with them.
- After corrections and clarifications are made, an ordination council date is set by the host church. The church also distributes the candidate's paper to all CRM partner congregations.
- The Council meets and recommends that the church proceed or not proceed with ordination.
From the Perspective Converge Rocky Mountain:
- A church requests help with ordination.
- The Converge region leadership responds with the attached handbook.
- The candidate reserves an interview time with pre-ordination team.
- The candidate prepares and sends doctrinal statement.
- The candidate meets with the pre-ordination team.
- Clarifications and corrections are made and redistributed to pre-ordination team.
- Ordination council date is set.
- Converge Rocky Mountain assists the church in distributing candidate's document to all partner churches.
- The Ordination Council is held and a recommendation made to the church's leadership board.
- The church acts to ordain proposed candidate.
For more information on ordination, please contact the Converge Rocky Mountain Office.

Vessels now exposed to 24 month bans from Australian ports: new guidelines published in Marine Notice 03/2015, February 2015
AMSA has published Marine Notice 03/2015 (the Notice) setting out stringent (but non-binding) guidelines as to how the decisions to prohibit vessels from using or entering ports will be made. These guidelines clearly point to an escalation of AMSA's intentions to use its powers to target the areas of fatigue, safety management and bridge management identified by Mr Kinley, the recently appointed Chief Executive Officer of AMSA, when he first took office.
HFW hfw.com
There are currently four vessels on the list of vessels that have been issued with prohibition directions published on AMSA's website, including one vessel which has been banned for a period of 12 months.
Weekly Risk Assessment:
Risk level was fairly the same as on previous week, without any sharp upsurge in number of attacks or changed trends. The same can be said about SEA and the risk of tankers hijacks – for now, only local, regional small-sized tankers seem to be under risk. No transiting big-sized (MR and bigger) tanker was ever hijacked with the purpose of stealing cargo, with any purpose at all. Attacks of underway transiting vessels, especially big ones, like bulk carriers, are the most risky incidents for the time being, but there's very little information on such cases, and mostly, information is too scant for an adequate analysis.
Nigerian and GOG security services
I've got a copy of OMS PGS Presentation booklet, on maritime security in Nigeria and West Africa. OMS and PGS are well-known companies specialized in security, details may be found on websites http://www.saawestafrica.com and http://www.pgsgroup.co.uk/.
The booklet may be downloaded here: http://www.odin.tc/files/omspgs.pdf
I've read booklet, and didn't get what I'm after (not that I hoped to find it), and I'm looking for simple straight answers to simple straight questions. Such as:
- How high is the risk of being attacked by pirates in Gulf of Guinea waters, not just Nigerian waters, are there any statistics comparing the number of attacks with number of vessels in the area;
- Can a vessel obtain an all-including security service, meaning the same guards team during all time of vessel's sailing in GOG waters, be those waters international, or Nigerian, or Togo, or whatever else?;
- All Privates Security Companies and all guards, including unarmed, are prohibited in at least Nigerian waters, if they are not authorized by Nigerian authorities: yes or no;
- Armed guards must be Nigerian citizen only, yes or no?;
- Nigerian Navy are in constant friction with Nigerian Maritime Police and The Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency NIMASA, for an onlooker it seems like all Nigerian military and law enforcement agencies are deeply and enthusiastically engaged in a fight over the security services market: yes or no;
- I need guards team at a short notice, can I get one; and what's the "short notice" in Nigeria – months, weeks or days?;
- Is there any list of authorized security service agencies in Nigeria and other coastal countries of GOG, with contacts and short description?;
- Is there any hope, that somewhere in the future Nigeria and other GOG States would be somehow obliged to allow foreign reputable and trustworthy security agencies to work in their waters; what should be done to make it happen, and by what institutions?
I got two things from the booklet:
First is, the whole system of providing security in Nigerian waters is a maze of rules, restrictions and nuances.
Second is, OMS and PGS are the best, of which fact I have no doubt.
My impression is, the building up of security services system in Nigeria is yet incomplete, being intentionally complicated, and will stay so for as long as it takes for the powers engaged in a fight over security market to determine who's to rule. It may go on forever, though.
There's a growing number of publications crystal-balling the increase of piracy attacks in GOG. I'm of the same opinion, though for a different reason. Experts say the rise in number of attacks should be connected to looming elections in Nigeria, as the rivaling parties need funds for the campaign. I say that the fundamentals for the rise are much more profound, being related to falling oil price. The less money Nigeria gets from exporting crude oil, the less money reach the lower classes. Take Russia for example – prices are going up, wages are going down, unemployment and crime rate are on the rise.
Something is going on, finally, with migrants problem, and as usual, the institution to raise alarm is the ECSA:
Intermanager and ECSA to hold seminar on migrants at sea during European Shipping Week
Mediterranean conveyor of death. Leave the shipping out of it.
The UN and IOM, with the help of do-gooders, are actively creating a conveyor of death.
Container ship MSC Belle and LPG tanker Gaz Energy took part in a rescue operation on Feb 13, rescuing hundreds of North African migrants in the Mediterranean. According to IHS Maritime, MSC Belle took on board about 300 migrants from three rubber dinghies, while Gaz Energy took about 100 migrants from another boat.
"The surge in migrant crossings and mounting casualties led Italian foreign minister Paolo Gentiloni to demand that the European Union increase the monthly EUR4 million budget for Operation 'Triton', which replaced search-and-rescue (SAR)-focused Operation 'Mare Nostrum' in November. The change was made at the insistence of member states such as the United Kingdom, which maintains that such rescues only encourage migration." – writes IHS Maritime.
MSC Belle (IMO 9203904) is a small-sized boxship, of 14065 dwt, tanker LPG Gaz Energy (IMO 9458169) is not a big ship also, with 17674 dwt. It's not clear how did those vessels deal with rescued migrants, were they transferred to Navy and CG ships engaged in Operation Triton, or did the vessels keep migrants on board until arriving to the port? MSC Belle arrived to Tripoli on Feb 15, while Gaz Energy sailed to Lebanon, arriving to Zahrani on Feb 14 or Feb 15.
Now, look at photos below, which were taken on Feb 15 on board of Icelandic CG ship Tyr, engaged in Operation Triton. Tyr rescued 184 migrants. Pay attention to Tyr crew outfit, resembling the outfit of those coping with Ebola epidemic or chemical disaster. Tyr is engaged in a special operation, ready to meet any possible risks emerging from hordes of rescued migrants, with high probability of infections and violence.
But what about cargo vessels? What about their tiny crews? They are not prepared for such emergencies and risks in absolutely any aspect, from chemical warfare outfits to supplies and available space to accommodate hundreds of people, let alone any kind of force to keep migrants in order, in case they'll try to capture vessel (and we know from the scarce information we sometimes receive, that such cases happen from time to time). Every such "rescue" (how many of distress situations are faked ones, by the way?) operation is a grave risk for vessel, her cargo and her crew, and a financial loss for vessel's owner.
Why don't the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and UN cover the losses suffered by shipping? All those organizations demand is money, more money, and again more money. They are creating a new money-print machine right before our eyes, by demanding more funds and in fact, encouraging more illegal human traffic. The more money those organizations get, the more will be the traffic, those processes are directly connected. The more is the traffic, the more will be the number of victims, leading to new demands for bigger funds. It's an absolutely cynical scheme, which all major media and politicians miraculously fail to see. The UN and IOM, with the help of do-gooders, are actively creating a conveyor of death.
There is one more thing in this story, which beats me, too. I don't understand industry media, I just don't understand which side they're on, and what's the purpose of their existence. They're to defend industry interests, or at least, to analyze the problems and risks from all points of view, are they not? Instead, they're navigating strictly in the mainstream of major media, avoiding anything, any thought or phrase, which may be considered as politically incorrect. Political correctness and objectivity are incompatible matters, but former is safe and profitable, while latter is risky and ruinous (take me for example). It may be, though, that most of industry media don't have any ideas or thoughts of their own, just because they don't have any thoughts. Whatever, industry media as it stands now, is a shame.
Freighter Sevastopol intercepted by Indian CG in international waters. Is it legal?
General cargo vessel Sevastopol was intercepted by Indian Coast Guard after 11-hour chase, involving patrol plane, in international waters in Arabian sea some 110 nm off Mumbai coast on Feb 17. Vessel was under arrest by the Madras high court since Feb 13, in a process of commercial dispute between owner and an Indian company, details of a dispute unknown. Vessel fled Mumbai road at around 0100 LT Feb 17 switching off AIS and navigational lights, ordered to do so by the owner. Indian Coast Guard launched chase, vessel stopped after being threatened of using force. Sevastopol was taken back to Mumbai road. On a photo

In 2009 a Chinese freighter fled Nakhodka port, Russia, Japan sea, being ordered to do so by a Chinese owner. The only violation was, vessel sailed from Nakhodka without the formalities. An owner was sued by a Russian company, a cargo receiver, which found some 200-300 tons of rice to be damaged by seawater. Local courts rejected the detention plea and said vessel was free to leave. But the offended Russian company was very powerful, so it contacted right persons in Moscow, right persons ordered Coast Guard, Coast Guard sent a destroyer, which intercepted the hapless freighter in international waters, and sunk her by shell-fire, killing in the process half of the crew. The scandal was hushed up, the heroes – several CG commanders, were secretly awarded with medals for their outstanding bravery. Russia created a precedent of intercepting foreign merchant vessel in international waters. Lawyers are to decide if it's legal. It seems to be illegal, if you ask me, as long as intercepted vessel doesn't carry any real threat to other vessels, people on board or environment. Such States as Russia, India or Nigeria may develop a habit out of such precedents, and it's almost impossible to ascertain if the owner was really guilty or forced by a local company "with connections above" to pay "fine" or "compensation" on a dubious pretext.

Mysterious freighter Mesogio arrested in Greece. Some secrets of contraband cigarettes industry.
Greek Coast Guard and law enforcement agency or agencies intercepted Tanzania-flagged general cargo vessel Mesogio in Messinian Gulf, Greece, and took her to Kalamata port, reportedly on Feb 20. 6 crew were arrested. A big shipment of contraband cigarettes was found on board, see pic. Sailing records of the vessel are rather mysterious. According to one AIS source, on Feb 16 vessel was in Crimean waters, but according to Greek Coast Guard photos, vessel is in Kalamata, all right, no doubt about it. In recent AIS records only one port is listed – Varna, Bulgaria. Vessel's history contains other names and other flags, including Ukrainian flag. I have an information from law enforcement agency of one of Eastern European countries, that literally, hundreds of seafarers, mainly of Ukrainian and other Eastern Europe nationalities, were sentenced in Europe during last 2-3 years for cigarettes contraband trafficking. The whole story goes deeper than just that. There is the whole illegal industry under way in Ukraine and Russia, producing cigarettes and smuggling them to Europe. Multimillion business is said to be run by Russian oligarchs, with some part of the profit going into the pockets of high-ranking officials in southeast Europe States, those officials, who support and lobby Russia in the EU.

Laker Arthur M. Anderson, U.S. and Canadian Coast Guards trying to free the vessel
The U.S. and Canadian Coast Guards are working together to break free the laker Arthur M. Anderson, which is trapped in ice near Conneaut Harbor, Lake Erie, on her way to Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, for winter layup. The Coast Guard Cutter Bristol Bay, a 140-foot ice-breaking tug homeported in Detroit, has been just outside of Ashtabula for several days battling 8 to 10 feet of ice in areas and brash ice up to 5 to 6 feet thick. The progress has been slow in getting into Ashtabula, so the Canadian Coast Guard Ship Griffon has been called to assist. The Griffon is stationed in Prescott, Ontario, and is a 234-foot multi-mission medium icebreaker.
The Arthur M. Anderson is currently outside of Conneaut Harbor awaiting assistance. The Bristol Bay is en route back to Cleveland. The Griffon will join up with the Bristol Bay and they will clear a path into Cleveland. The Bristol Bay will fill up on fuel and will resupply with food. Once a path is cleared into Cleveland, the Griffon will head out to Conneaut Harbor and break free the Anderson.

Matt Hildner of the Pueblo Chieftain reported that Alamosa County health officials are investigating an outbreak of salmonella that's led to the hospitalization of four people and may have infected up to 74 people. In addition to the 18 cases that have been confirmed through laboratory testing, Geiser said the county is also investigating 56 cases with symptoms of the illness although they have yet to be laboratory confirmed. Geiser said she had never seen an outbreak of salmonella in her 12 years with the county. "We have an employee that's been here 25 years and she hasn't seen anything like this either," she said. Geiser said the cases have included a number of children, in part because adults are able to get over the infection more easily.

Nothing ever seemed to work out though. I haven't gone back to conventional yet though. If I ever feel tempted, I just turn over the bottle in the store and look at all the unpronounceable ingredients. When I got truly frustrated, I gave up for a while and instead made some of my 'go-to's' from other recipes.
Like this Poppy seed dressing (recipe below).
Or the one that I make for this salad recipe. I call it an Asian dressing.
Or the one that is in this recipe -- Orange Curry dressing.
Recently, I wanted to add a Southwestern dressing to use as a dipping sauce if someone wanted it. It turned out to be a hit -- and with more than just Hubby. I found it here but I'll put the recipe below too. By the way, do not use coconut oil for the oil. It cooled and got chunky. Ick!
And, of course, there is always a basic vinaigrette. There are as many variations as you could think up for those.
So I still hadn't found my ranch but at least I could provide options. Then, I decided to give Pioneer Woman's buttermilk ranch a try. It was good. Real good. Even Hubby commented that it was the best yet. The only problem with it was that it requires fresh herbs -- three of which I do not yet have growing around the house. So I know what will be going into next year's seed order.
For now, I can maybe stretch out my salad dressing rotation so I don't have to take out a second mortgage to buy fresh herbs for salad dressing. I highly recommend giving it a try. It is better than the bottled stuff for sure.
Hope you give one or more of these a try.
Poppy seed Dressing
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup white vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground dry mustard
1 teaspoon grated onion
1 cup oil (I've used olive oil successfully)
1 Tablespoon poppy seeds
Combine with blender sugar, vinegar, salt, dry mustard, and onion for 20 seconds. Add oil in stream while blending until combined. Stir in poppy seeds. Refrigerate.
Tangy Southwestern Dressing
1/3 cup cider vinegar
1/3 cup ketchup
6 dashes hot sauce
4 teaspoons cumin
4 teaspoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
4 teaspoons sugar
2 finely chopped garlic cloves
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2/3 cup oil
Combine all ingredients except oil. Whisk or blend to combine. Slowly drizzle in oil, whisking or blending to combine until incorporated. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Pioneer Woman's Buttermilk Ranch
Salt To Taste
1/4 cup Italian Flat-leaf Parsley
2 Tablespoons Fresh Chives
1 cup (Real) Mayonnaise
1/2 cup Sour Cream
Buttermilk (as Needed To Desired Consistency)
White Vinegar (optional, To Taste)
Worcestershire Sauce, To Taste (optional)
Fresh Dill (optional, To Taste)
Cayenne Pepper (optional, To Taste)
Paprika (optional, To Taste)
Fresh Oregano (optional, To Taste)
Tabasco (optional, To Taste)
Mince the garlic with a knife and then sprinkle about an 1/8 to ¼ teaspoons of salt on it and mash it into a paste with a fork. Chop the parsley, chives and any of the optional herbs very finely and add to the garlic.In a bowl combine all ingredients, adding other optional ingredients as you wish, tasting frequently and adjusting seasonings as needed. Chill for a couple of hours before serving, thin with milk or buttermilk if desired.

15 Simply Chic Bathroom Tile Design and style Concepts
For a tiny bathroom, decide on huge rectangular tiles over the regular modest square alternatives. I also actually like the darker, basic bathroom design, with vibrant, colorful and ornate tiles in the shower. That said, your bathroom is a space that all of your guests will most likely see at some point so if you want to make a statement, this is the location to do it. Consider about it the identical way you would your kitchen backsplash : You want it to be timeless and clean, and to not turn off prospective purchasers. Ceramic is ordinarily the cheapest tile and can be manufactured to appear in numerous types and surface smoothness.

Hey guys, my first post. Glad to be a part of the pwctoday.com, it seems the information here is limitless!
I'm looking for some guidance, suggestions, tips or pitfalls to avoid on my recent purchase.
I bought a 2011 Yamaha FX SHO with a blown motor for $2,000. I wasn't 100% sure it had a blown motor when purchased but after removal of some things there is indeed a hole in the engine block from cylinder three.
The rod is completely shot, the wrist pin exited the block and the piston is in many pieces.
My plan was to rebuild the motor if the head is still good by getting an engine block or having mine repaired. Please share your experiences with doing this.
Also do I have to rebuild the supercharger due to the 136 hours?
What else do I need to do besides put it back up on craigslist and sell it?! (This is still a very real option being considered.)
I'm okay with putting another $2,000 into the ski but any more than that do you guys think this is all worth it?
The hull is in good shape, all electronics seem to work... I would love to keep it and have a badass ski!
I'll get some pictures of the uncovered damage when I get home later.
Thank you all in advance! IMG_1426.JPGIMG_1424.JPG

Ever since they first read Stephenie Meyer's novel, Twilighters all over the world have been counting down the days until next week's release of the [movie id="414921"]"New Moon"[/movie] movie. Now, MTV is joining the party with our very own prime-time specials welcoming the newest film in the "Twilight" franchise to the big screen.
On Monday, November 16, at 10 p.m. ET/PT, MTV will air "Love Bites," an exclusive half-hour special examining the lives, love and literature fueling Hollywood's current obsession with "Twilight" stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. Utilizing new interviews, never-before-seen footage and the vast library we've accumulated over the last few years of being the fans' top "Twilight" news resource, we'll show you the couple affectionately known as "RPattz" and "KStew" like you've never seen them before.
In case that isn't enough of an Edward and Bella blowout, we'll be following that show with "New Moon Revealed" at 10:30 p.m. ET/PT. Hosted by our own Twi-Hard reporter Kim Stolz, the show will explore the "Twilight" phenomenon while answering the fans' most burning questions from the serious to the sublime to the just plain silly.
"Love Bites" will get up close and personal, chronicling the relationship between Pattinson and Stewart from its early stages through their present-day reign as purveyors of Hollywood's top romance. MTV will dig into the archives to hear from director Catherine Hardwicke, about the pair's first, very intimate audition, as well as early interviews on the "Twilight" set where the duo spoke candidly about building their chemistry. Hitting the streets of Vancouver and Portland, where the films were shot, viewers will find out what goes on when the cast has downtime and what local bars, restaurants and locations they frequent — as well as hear from the people who see them when they are off camera.
In "New Moon Revealed," MTV News will provide fans with unrivaled access to the "Twilight Saga," courtesy of a 30-minute special anchored from "New Moon" mall events in Los Angeles and Chicago. The show will prominently feature die-hard fans of the series as they clamor to get a glimpse of the actors they've worshipped from afar. In the show, MTV News will count down the five hottest, most burning questions fans of the "Twilight" series want answered — from exploring how stardom has changed Robert Pattinson, to finding out whether Kristen Stewart is on Team Edward or Team Jacob, to telling the behind-the-scenes tale of how Taylor Lautner almost lost the role of Jacob.
As always, MTV News is all over "Twilight." And on November 16, "Revealed" and "Love Bites" will give vampire lovers something extra special to sink their teeth into.
MTV delves deep into the "Twilight" universe with two can't-miss specials: "Love Bites" chronicles the budding rumored romance between Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart on Monday at 10 p.m. ET/PT, while "New Moon Revealed" will feature die-hard fans as they gather to meet the saga's stars Monday at 10:30 p.m. ET/PT.
Check out everything we've got on "The Twilight Saga: New Moon."

Brunel Business School (BBS) Researchers presented their paper entitled "A Decision Support System for Fostering Smart Energy Efficient Districts" awhich took place in Puerto Rico between August 13-15, 2015.
AMCIS is a preeminent research conference in the information systems discipline conducted under the auspices of AIS. Each year, AMCIS attracts up to a thousand or more attendees principally from North America but increasingly from other regions of the world as well. The conference program includes research paper presentations, research panels, keynotes, CIO panels, doctoral consortiums, and camps for junior IS faculty.
The paper based on DAREED project findings (work package 3 - Modelling and Simulation for ICT platform) was accepted by the E-Government: Smart Cities mini track in the conference. The paper outlined the technical concept of the Best Practices recommendation tool of the DAREED system. The tool aimed to compare and identify existing best practices to recommend practical actions to various stakeholders (e.g. building managers, citizens) in order to improve energy performance considering the global needs of a building. The authors of the paper were Uthayasankar Sivarajah, Habin Lee, Zahir Irani (Brunel University London); Roberta Rascazzo, Nicola Savino, Vincenzo Molendini (Centro di Progetttazione, Design & Technologie dei Materiali); Juan Jimenez and Antonio Martin (Instituto Andaluz De Tecnologia) respectively. The paper was presented at the conference by Prof Habin Lee which was well received by the audience and also received constructive feedback that will now be considered in the design of some of the DAREED platform components.

Of course this comes as no surprise to anybody. The study looked at Trumps first 100 days mainstream and found that about 80 percent of news coverage was negative. And the worst offender is of course CNN and NBC who were found to be airing 93 percent negative news reporting. From the Washington Examiner That said, the coverage of some news organizations was so negative, according to the Harvard study, that it seems hard to argue that the coverage was anywhere near a neutral presentation of facts. Assessing the tone of news coverage, the Harvard researchers found that CNN's Trump coverage was 93 percent negative, and seven percent positive. The researchers found the same numbers for NBC. Ninety-three percent negative is alot by anybody's standards. "CNN and NBC's has the most unrelenting coverage of negative stories about Trump, outpacing positive news by 13-to-1 on the two networks," the study noted. "Trump's coverage during his first 100 days set a new standard for negativity." The study also compared the negativity rates of Presidents Obama, Bush, and Clinton, which all fell across the board between 40 and 60 percent. Give the fact that Harvard is a liberal college that is highly critical of Trump it must be true. What do you think? Help spread the truth and share this on Facebook and Twitter along with your comments! Harvard UniversityHarvard University StudyPresident TrumpSponsored Links
