I don't think that you are using diplomatically words such as: unfortunately it has not brought the affect what people thought....or, for this particular problem it was not suitable.All what we have is people looking for quick money making.These are be called: Rib-off-people, or con men and than if you are warning others, they blame you!Lipoma is a fatty area on the body which mostly has the background from eating, drinking or less excerises and can be reduced again by more activity and diet.Lipom-Tumor is analysed as a skin swelling on body partys in a single formation and can have the size from 0.5 cm to 30 cm may be large, and create different symptoms, depending of the type of 20 which we know today.Klaus Klaus - with all respect - I would like to hear another opinion about the effectiveness of collagenase before judging it as "not working".
Maybe they don't have the slightest idea of what lipoma is. You do believe that the company means that they are talking about Lipoma-Tumor, which they can't, because human fat (lipomas) have nothing to do with Lipoma-Tumors. Eleven of the twelve subjectscompleted the follow up scheduled for the trial.If a product or a practise are declared it would help for this and this symptom and it doesn't really brought the results what is that than?Klaus_________________Hi I'm Matt - the creator and owner of this site.

One wonders why financial services industry needs to be pushed by regulatory bodies to act in investor's interests.
In the Board meeting y'day, SEBI knocked off a few percentage points from the expenses charged by Mutual Funds:
The Assets Under Management (AUM) of mutual fund industry in India has grown manifold over the years. As on August 31, 2018, the AUM of the industry has crossed INR 25 lakh crore. While the AUM has grown multiple times, the benefit of economies of scale has not been fully shared with the investors. Further, the slab wise limits of TER introduced in 1996 under SEBI (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996 have not been changed since then. It is also observed that over a period of time, there have been varying practices in the industry with respect to charging of expenses and payment of commissions.
SEBI undertook an internal study to review the TER. The analysis along with observations of the study was placed in a meeting of the Mutual Fund Advisory Committee (MFAC). The working group constituted by MFAC deliberated on the issues and submitted a report to MFAC. Upon deliberation on the findings of working group, MFAC made several recommendations on transparency in expenses, TER for various types of mutual fund schemes, investments through SIPs, limiting the additional incentives for B – 30 cities based on inflows from retail investors, performance disclosure of Mutual Fund schemes, etc.
The Board took note of the benefits of the proposal with respect to sharing of economies of scale, lowering the cost for mutual fund investors, bringing in transparency in appropriation of expenses, and reducing mis- selling and churning.
The expenses have not just been slashed but the big funds will be required to charge a lower TER. The TERs are higher for quity funds vis a vis debt funds. Likewise TERs are mentioned seperately for closed end funds, index funds and fund of funds. It has allowed addiitonal TER of 30 bps for selling to B-30 cities.
More importantly, commissions shall now be based on trails. VR explains:
While SEBI has also reduced the expenses that funds companies can charge from investors, the big change is that it has outlawed the upfront commissions that fund distributors get for getting investors to put money into a fund. Instead, they will only get what is called 'trail' commission. 'Trail' means a steady, small percentage that the distributor gets as long as the money stays invested.
This is actually a very big deal. The reason is that while it appears to be superficially about commissions, it's actually an attempt at triggering a deep change in distributors and fund companies' business model so that their economic interest aligns with that of the investors. An upfront commission means that whenever an investor makes an investment, the distributor who facilitated it gets perhaps one to two per cent of that amount. This means that the distributor's interest lies in getting a transaction done. To make more commission out of a given customer, the best strategy is to keep moving the money and creating more transactions.
Now, SEBI has outlawed upfront commissions. Distributors can only be paid trail commissions. There will not be any incentive for switching money around for the heck of it. As long as the investor is invested, the distributor gets a steady stream of revenue. That's it. It sounds simple, and in terms of the benefit that brings to the investors, it is. However, over the years, I have observed that in many fund companies and in distributors, there is a deep culture of hard-driving sales teams out to get as many transactions done as possible. That should change now, even if gradually.
Earlier, the name of the game was to move the money by whatever means possible. Now, it will be to get the money into a set of good funds where the investor will be happy to stay for a long time to come. Not only will sales need a different approach, it will need a different approach to business, even a different kind of person.

Are you covered?
WorkCover WA has noticed a number of cases where employers mistakenly believe their 'business insurance package' covers them for workers' compensation.
Many of these packages actually exclude workers' compensation liability and the employers involved have faced penalties for not having adequate insurance.
If you don't have workers' compensation insurance, your business could be liable for:
- costs in excess of $600,000 in benefits if a worker is injured
- fines of up to $5,000 per worker
- any avoided premiums going back five years
- liability for the cost of any action taken at common law
- legal costs involved in any court action.
If you employ workers or contractors, contact your insurer or broker today to check you have the correct coverage.

How Do I know When to Empty my Septic Tank?
Well, if your back garden is covered with foul liquid and grey paper waste and your toilets won't flush properly then I'd say it's probably time to make that emergency call!
Fortunately this doesn't happen very often but there are a couple of signs to watch out for if you suspect your tank is getting full.
The first is unusual sewage-like odours around the tank. The septic tank uses the vent pipe on your drain system - you know the open stack pipe running up the wall by the bathroom- to ventilate at high level to disperse any smells. If the inlet or outlet of the tank is blocked then the tank will ventilate locally- usually around the manhole and you will get that unmistakable smell.
The second is that your toilet is slow to flush away or the sinks are slow draining. Now, this might well be because of a partial blockage in the drain upstream of the tank. There's an easy test - lift an upstream manhole, if you can see the pipe goes back to being empty after running some water down the drain then the drain is not blocked in the pipe. It might still be blocked in the "T" piece connector inside the tank (this directs effluent down into the tank) so lift the lid of the tank and expose the top of the "T" piece. Get a garden cane or piece of wood -2by2 is ideal and gently poke the wood through the T piece. If It's blocked this should move the obstruction and you could well see a flush of sewage enter the tank.
Whilst you have the tank open then test for the solids level in the tank. If your piece of wood is long enough lower it into the tank, push it through the scum layer that should be floating on the top of the liquid; you should feel some slight resistance as it lands on the solid layer; push a little further and you'll then find the bottom of the tank. Withdraw the stick and - carefully, so as not to touch the stick- see how much solid is on the bottom of the tank. If there's more than 30cm or 1 foot in old money then it's time to empty the tank.
As you can see, none of this is rocket science; in fact there are no hard and fast rules about when to empty a tank. Our earlier post gives some ideas about how often to empty the tank.
When you do decide to empty the tank then please, contact an experienced, licensed and knowledgeable operator to do the dirty deed! You can contact us on 01900 870140 at any time to discuss servicing your septic tank.

Tags to identify true Angus breed
New ear tags for dairy stock will sort out genuine Angus dairy cross cattle from all the rest, say its promoters.
Meadowslea Stud Angus, at Fairlie, says its third annual production cow sale saw solid demand from stud and commercial buyers at its onfarm sale on May 1.
The annual draft, 10-year-old cows led the sale prices, with the top two old cows making $5000 each. Both sold to Piko-Burn Angus of Tuatapere. The young R2 stud heifers also sold strongly with a top price of $3300 to Wether Hills Angus of Dipton.
Meanwhile, 40 heifers on offer made an average of $2300. All 93 stud females sold for an average of $2200, with 25 selling for stud transfer and the balance to commercial herds.
Stud principal David Giddings said the sale was an endorsement of Meadowslea's focus on fertility and maternal traits that drive all the profitability in any beef herd.
"The 10-year-old cows have proven they are the right type of cattle for the hill country environment by producing a good, early calf every year and staying in good condition through droughts, snowstorms and everything nature can throw at them.
"These old cows that have lasted the distance were all medium framed and deep bodied with only moderate growth figures, but all very strong in rib fat covers. Clearly, this is nature showing us what is the right balance of figures for this environment."
He says Meadowslea has focussed on breeding hill country cattle that will thrive and perform in adverse conditions.
"We've selected for strong rib fat covers and have proven that these animals handle the harsh conditions much easier and produce at higher levels in a sustainable way."
Giddings claims selection over the last 25 years for easy doing cattle has led the stud in a different direction from most other Angus studs in Australasia and resulted in Meadowslea having some of the highest rib fat EBVs in the breed.
"Now science has recognised there is a direct link between increased rib fat covers and better fertility in heifers and cows. This coupled with daughters of bulls that have bigger scrotal size results in heifers reaching puberty earlier and rebreeding earlier over their entire lifetime."
Meadowslea Angus has its annual bull sale on Friday June 21 and 'Bull Walk' open day on Tuesday May 21. Both events are being held on-farm, State Highway 8, Fairlie.

Add a little mustard and some pickles with the melted cheese. Mmmmmmmm.

to buy a soap bubble, if there were only one in the world."
~Mark Twain
I do love bubbles...
and neat soaps are right there with those bubbles!
I am on a Buy American kick...and buy from the those who are trying to survive in this economy on their own. I realize that not everything can be purchased that way, but even if we all try to buy that way every now and then, it will support an American. So, this week I am featuring a new soap that I have brought into the shop. It is made in New Hampshire. Did you know though that the Babylonians were the first to make a soap product? The earliest recorded evidence of the production of soap-like materials dates back to Ancient Babylon where a recipe for soap was written on a Babylonian clay tablet around 2200 BC. It consisted of uḥulu [ashes], cypress [oil] and sesame [seed oil].The Ebers papyrus (Egypt, 1550 BC) indicates that ancient Egyptians bathed regularly and combined animal and vegetable oils with alkaline salts to create a soap-like substance. Egyptian documents mention that a soap-like substance was used in the preparation of wool for weaving.
The word sapo, Latin for soap, first appears in Pliny the Elder's Historia Naturalis, which discusses the manufacture of soap from tallow and ashes, but the only use he mentions for it is as a pomade for hair; he mentions rather disapprovingly that among the Gauls and Germans men are likelier to use it than women. Aretaeus of Cappadocia, writing in the first century AD, observes among "Celts, which are men called Gauls, those alkaline substances which are made into balls, called soap."
According to research, soap-makers in Naples were members of a guild in the late sixth century, and in the 8th century, soap-making was well-known in Italy and Spain. Soap-making is mentioned both as "women's work" and the produce of "good workmen" alongside other necessities such as the produce of carpenters, blacksmiths, and bakers.In France, by the second half of the 15th century the semi-industrialized professional manufacture of soap was concentrated in a few centers of Provence— Toulon, Hyères and Marseille— which supplied the rest of France. Finer soaps were later produced in Europe from the 16th century, using vegetable oils (such as olive oil) as opposed to animal fats. Many of these soaps are still produced, both industrially and by small scale artisans. Castile soap is a popular example of the vegetable-only soaps derived by the oldest "white soap" of Italy.
In modern times, the use of soap has become universal in industrialized nations due to a better understanding of the role of hygiene in reducing the population size of pathogenic microorganisms. Industrially manufactured bar soaps first became available in the late eighteenth century, as advertising campaigns in Europe and the United States promoted popular awareness of the relationship between cleanliness and health.
Many people assume soap is soap, but many a bar of soap may not be labeled "soap." Most body cleansers on the market today are actually synthetic detergent products and come under the jurisdiction of FDA. These detergent cleansers are popular because they make suds easily in water and don't form gummy deposits. Some of these detergent products are actually marketed as "soap" but are not true soap in the common and legal definition of the word.If the bar you use for bathing does not claim to be a soap, it's probably a synthetic detergent product. FDA defines a cosmetic as an article intended to be used on the body for cleansing, beautifying, promoting attractiveness, or altering the appearance; thus, a nonsoap product intended for any of these purposes is automatically classified as a cosmetic.
So, if you see hand crafted soap and wonder why it is not dollar store priced, it is indeed the real thing, and, above all, it is made by hand in small batches with quality ingredients!

Sold Out
I tried something new this month, and did a series of Avengers mini paintings (apologies for the poor scan quality). They went over pretty well (I sold out), and I'll definitely be doing more next month. I'd be happy to take requests and commissions. I'd like to do some similar non-comic ones, like maybe some classic movie character pieces, maybe Wes Anderson pieces, some Pro Wrestling ones... anything really. Please leave me ideas of what you'd like to see out there. I've never fancied myself a gallery artist, but perhaps The Alternative Press Expo in October, I'll look into doing some kind of mini painting show. I'd love to see a group show where we get a ton of artists to do a ton of tiny paintings.
Thanks again everyone. My last goal is to have the Li'l Erwin book finished by next month as well, so stay tuned for that.

This is a call to action recently issued by Pat Barnes Missouri River Trout Unlimited. We are expanding this call to action to all of you who enjoy trout fishing on the Missouri River. Please take a minute to read and more importantly we urge everyone to click on the link below and submit your comments to FWP.
CALL TO ACTION – Every Member Needed!
Good Afternoon,
As some of you may have heard, Montana's Statewide Management Program & Guide Draft is out for public comment until February 4th. The Statewide Management Program & Guide is the guiding document for how FWP manages fisheries statewide. As you may have also heard, Walleyes Unlimited is pressuring FWP to consider walleye a native species east of the Continental Divide, which could potentially alter the current management of walleye downstream of Holter Dam. This would threaten the Missouri River trout fishery we have all come to love.
PLEASE, visit the link below and comment on the plan to back the Department's science-based management as a non-native species in Montana. Particularly, not to alter the current management status of walleye in the Missouri below Holter Dam as anything other than "suppression". If nothing else, please copy and paste the language below into the "Comments" section at the link below and click "Submit Comments".
"The Statewide Management Plan & Guide should uphold the current status of walleye as a non-native species in Montana's waterways. I support the peer-reviewed science that guide's the Department's classification of this illegally-introduced species as non-native to Montana. Additionally, I support the full suppression of walleye management in the Missouri River below Holter Dam. People cross continents to fish for wild trout in the Missouri River, and altering the management of walleye from anything other than full suppression places unnecessary risk on this world class fishery that draws millions of dollars to our local economy. Thank you."
Right now, the Missouri River needs your help. PLEASE take 3 minutes and leave a comment. The effort by Walleye Unlimited to have the Missouri managed as a walleye fishery is organized and energized. The Missouri River's trout need your comment.
Thank you,
PBTU Board Members

Waving goodbye to spam bots has made both me and my blog seriously happy! The other week I saw that one of my referral channels was pointing towards Vice. To say I was excited was a slight understatement…Vice had shared my post! That's kind of cool, right? Wrong. In fact, Vice hadn't shared my post at all. It was just a spam bot. A spam bot which had cleverly disguised itself as a credible referral channel. It was at this point that I decided enough was enough and I trawled through the internet to figure out how to block spam bots from visiting my blog.
Spam bots might make your blog views look mighty fine but they aren't honest views and can actually be damaging to your blog's credibility. I'd rather take a handful of good quality, honest views over thousands of spam bots. To name a few, spam referrals can skew your page views, click through rate and bounce rate. So, it really is best to nip them in the bud and increase your chances of viewing reliable statistics.
Now, I'm not saying I'm a blogging genius. I'm far from it. But these are the steps I followed to reduce the number of spam bots crawling my blog. Fingers crossed it can help a few of you guys out too!
It's pretty easy to spot when traffic is coming from spam bots. Under the referrals section on Google Analytics, you may notice some of the following referral channels:
- buttons-for-website
- free-traffic
- lifehacker
- top1-seo-service
- website-speed-check
I've only listed a few of many, many spam bots. Basically if anything stands out as looking a little bit odd, chances are it probably is.
If you're reading this, I'm going to go ahead and assume that you're already tracking your blog stats through a google analytics account!
Before making any changes to your analytics account, I highly recommend that you create a filtered view so that you always have the ability to see the raw, untouched and unfiltered data. To figure out how to create a new view, you can follow these simple steps on Google Analytics. I've named my view: Grandiose Days FILTERED VIEW.
This stage will work through creating new filters to exclude any traffic from spam bots.
Before adding new filters, remember that you'll want to apply the filter to the new view that you just created. In my case, that would be 'Grandiose Days FILTERED VIEW'.
In the View column under Admin, select Filters.
On the next page, click '+ ADD FILTERS'
The next page will allow you to create a new filters. For this task, we will create 2 filters to block spam referrals.
At this stage, most people will just create a filter that excludes spam bots. However, I did things a little differently. Instead, I created two filters. The first one I created was a Host Name filter to eliminate any ghost spam traffic. Second, I then created the more commonly used exclude filter for crawler spam bots. Ghost spam refers to spam bots that directly affect your analytics, whereas crawler spam actually leaves a mark on your blog. Or at least, that's my very simplistic view of the two.
First of all, I'll focus on how to create the hostname filter. However, if you're only interested in the exclude filter then jump to the end of this post and just read follow the final stages to block crawler spam bots.
This step will be a little bit longer as I talk through how to create a hostname filter. Bear with me, it'll be worth it!
To create a hostname filter you'll need:
- A list of your valid hostnames
- To create a hostname regular expression (REGEX)
You can find your hostnames by going to reporting and then in sidebar click Audience > Technology > Network.
Click the blue 'hostname' text above the table and this will display a list full of hostnames currently being used for your website. Make note of all of the real hostnames. These will be recognisable as they are likely to be your primary domain or a subdomain – for instance, some of mine were www.grandiosedays.com (primary domain) and then subdomains from my blogspot redirect (e.g. grandiosedays.blogspot.com). Remember to make a list of all of these hostnames!
The invalid (or fake) hostnames would be any other listed host that you do not own or control. As an example of some fake hostnames, sites such as foxnews.com, (not set), bbc.com and usatoday.com were appearing in my hostname list. We can ignore these ones.
Now that you've got a list of your valid hostnames, you can begin building your hostname REGEX.
Your hostname REGEX will match your list of valid hostnames. To separate each hostname, use this symbol | (Alt + 124) – otherwise known as the bar character. If you want to include the dot . or hyphen – symbols, add a backslash in front of them so that they are recognised in REGEX.
For your hostname REGEX, you'll be pleased to know that you do not have to type every single hostname in full. If several of your hostnames include the same key word, simply entering that key word should match to all valid hostnames that it is included in. For example, if I enter 'grandiosedays' in my host name, the REGEX will include all hostnames including this phrase. Make sure that your hostname includes all of the valid hostnames you wrote down, or else you'll lose out on significant data.
My hostname REGEX looks like this:
Now that you have your hostname REGEX (hooray!), you can start adding this information to the new filter you added earlier. So, let's jump back to that filter.
It should currently look nice and blank, like this:
You will want to name this filter 'hostname', change the filter type to Custom and ensure that the 'Include' option is selected.
Set the filter field as Hostname and then in the Filter Pattern box type (or copy and paste) the hostname REGEX you created a few moments ago. This page in Google Analytics, should now look something like this:
If you click 'Verify this filter' it should show you a sneak peek of your filter in action. Once you are happy with your filter, hit the Save button!
And you're done! Yay! The hostname filter should block most of the spam traffic that was hitting your site. This method should be more effective than creating an exclude filter as it means you don't need to update it every time a new spam bot tries to access your blog. However, the odd one or two might still slip through the net. Although this method should protect your blog and your statistics from 99% of pesky spam bots, pair it with an exclude filter (the one I talked about earlier) to increase your protection against spam bots. If you're not bored by my wittering on…keep reading to learn how to apply an exclude filter.
If you want to create a filter to exclude spam referrals, then you can also create a crawler spam REGEX. This is done in a similar way to the hostname REGEX, except this time you will focus on the source (referral) name.
Make a list of all of the spam referrals that appear in your Referrals Report and create a REGEX based on this list. There are websites out there that keep an updated list of spam sites, so you can always use these to include keywords or additional site names that you are sure are the result of spam bots.
My crawler spam REGEX looks like this (feel free to copy it for your own use and add any others you've also spotted):
Then, double-checking that you're working in your filtered view on google analytics, add another new filter.
Name the filter as crawler spam and set the filter type to Custom.
This time, select the Exclude option and in the drop-down menu select 'Campaign Source'.
In the filter pattern, paste the crawler spam REGEX you just created. This filter should now look something like this:
Again, once you are happy that you've followed all of the steps accurately, hit the save button!
And voila! You can wave goodbye to spam bots. Hopefully with these two filters now in place you should no longer see spam referrals for any future analytics. Keep a close watch on your analytics for the next week or so to make sure the filters have worked their magic. If it hasn't worked, then it's possible that the filter pattern needs amending.
I am by no means an expert when it comes to Google Analytics so fingers crossed this technique works for you as well as it has worked for me.
Please let me know if it has been of any help at all :)!

The Jack Leslie statue campaign
FirstGroup Wins Thames Trains – But Only For 2 Years
17 August 2005
The SRA today (4 November 2003) announced that it has selected FirstGroup as the preferred bidder for the new Thames Trains franchise, replacing the incumbent franchisee, Go-Ahead. The existing franchise, awarded in September 1996, expires on 31 March 2004. The new franchise will run from 1 April 2004 to 31 March 2006.
The SRA has reduced the bids down to 'two options' from FirstGroup and expects to be able to confirm, by December. Due to business sensitivity the options are not allowed into the public domain.
The SRA has been in discussions with Go-Ahead Group regarding a two-year extension to its current franchise since summer 2002. In September 2002 it separately received an unsolicited proposition from FirstGroup to combine Thames services with Great Western services from 2004.
Plans for a Greater Western (GW) franchise was announced by the SRA on 6 November 2002. GW will combine the existing Great Western (FirstGroup), Thames Trains and Wessex Trains (NEG) franchises into one operation. It is scheduled to commence in early 2006, following a competition to select a franchisee.Back »

Go Another One makes an impromptu raid to Uttoxeter in search of a second success in the UK this month.
The promising seven-year-old romped home by 31 lengths in a five-runner affair at Worcester and just has two rivals on Wednesday as he bids to follow up in the Wade Ceramics Novices' Chase over three miles in Staffordshire.
Trainer John McConnell was originally planning to wait for Cheltenham's October meeting, after Worcester, but changed his mind when this opportunity arose.
Only Olly Murphy's Angel Of Harlem and Aytach Sadik's You're The Man stand in the way of Go Another One picking up the £7,000 first prize.
"We just looked at entries last week, and I noticed there wasn't a big entry in the race, and Uttoxeter put on good prize money – so we entered him, and it looks like a good opportunity," said the County Meath handler.
"He's going to be cantering at home, so he might as well do it on the track, and hopefully he jumps round and comes back safe."
McConnell is still intending to then take Go Another One to Cheltenham.
He added: "It's not a walkover. He'll get a nice schooling and a bit of competition.
"It's great to get more jumping into him.
"If all went well tomorrow, we'll head to the October meeting at Cheltenham. Even if he got beaten, we'd probably still go there."

Cyprus PIO: Turkish Cypriot and Turkish Media Review, 13-01-22
Cyprus Press and Information Office: Turkish Cypriot Press Review Directory - Previous Article - Next Article
From: The Republic of Cyprus Press and Information Office Server at <http://www.pio.gov.cy/>TURKISH CYPRIOT AND TURKISH MEDIA REVIEW No. 15/13 22.01.13
[01] A logo contest for Halloumi cheese is organized by the Turkish Cypriot Chamber of IndustryTurkish Cypriot daily Yeni Duzen newspaper (22.01.13) publishes an announcement by the Turkish Cypriot Chamber of Industry under the title "Hellim/Halloumi Logo Contest". In the announcement the Chamber reports that people could vote online through www.kibso.org address until 30 January 2013 for the first five candidates that remained within the scope of the corporate logo contest of hellim/halloumi cheese, "which is one of the most valuable cultural heritages of our country".
[02] Effort by Ozgurgun to exploit the agreement on defense and military cooperation between Cyprus and Lebanon, ignoring the existence of 40.000 Turkish occupation troops on the islandTurkish Cypriot daily Gunes newspaper (22.01.13) reports that Huseyin Ozgurgun, self-styled foreign minister of the breakaway regime in the occupied area of the Republic of Cyprus, has commented on the agreement on defense and military cooperation signed recently between the Republic of Cyprus and Lebanon.
In a written statement issued yesterday, Ozgurgun alleged that the signing of this agreement, in a period when it is known that after the presidential elections of February in the Republic of Cyprus the UN will revive the negotiations for achieving a comprehensive solution to the Cyprus problem, was a sign that the Greek Cypriot side does not believe in a solution and has no intention to exhibit a good will in this direction.
"This irresponsible stance of the Greek Cypriot side strengthens our concerns that it will continue its policies of gaining time and delaying tactics within the forthcoming period as well", he alleged.
Ozgurgun claimed that if the international community wants to prove its support in the direction of the achievement of an overall and just solution in Cyprus, it should allegedly encourage the Greek Cypriot side to sincerely contribute in effective negotiations for a political solution on the island and not support the policies of the Greek Cypriot side, which allegedly causes problems on the island and in the region and refrains from being a part of the solution and the cooperation.
[03] Eroglu on the Cyprus problem; "The origin of the Turks of Cyprus comes from Anatolian region"According to illegal Bayrak television (21.01.13) the Turkish Cypriot leader, Dervis Eroglu has expressed the need for the Turkish Cypriot "people" to claim its "country" through unity and solidarity.
In statements while meeting with the members of the "Society of the Perpetuation of the Anatolian Culture", Eroglu touched upon the negotiations process aimed at solving the Cyprus issue and said that the policy which will be carried out by the "Greek Cypriot leadership" following the presidential elections, will determine whether or not an agreement will be reached.
Alleging that the origin of the Turkish Cypriots comes from the Anatolian region, he said that Turkey has become a developed and modernized country in recent years.
Referring to the Cyprus negotiations process, he thanked everyone who supported him during the Cyprus negotiations process.
Reiterating that the Turkish Cypriot side and Turkey are in favor of an agreement in Cyprus, Eroglu said that it is necessary to clarify this to the Greek Cypriots and the time has come for the UN to decide what it will do for the solution of the Cyprus problem.
[04] Kucuk meets with European diplomatsTurkish Cypriot daily Haberdar newspaper (22.01.13) reports that the self-styled prime minister of the breakaway regime in the occupied area of the Republic of Cyprus, Irsen Kucuk met yesterday at his office with a delegation of the European Diplomats Union headed by the Union's chairman, Gunther Meinel. No statement was made after the closed-door meeting. The press was only allowed to take pictures.
[05] KTOS: The negotiations on the Cyprus football are being sabotaged by the supporters of division of the islandTurkish Cypriot daily Afrika newspaper (22.01.13) reports that Sener Elcil, general secretary of the Turkish Cypriot School Teachers' Trade Union (KTOS), has said that the ongoing negotiations between the Cyprus Football Association (CFA or KOP) and the so-called Turkish Cypriot Football Federation are being sabotaged by "those who support the division" of Cyprus.
In a statement issued yesterday, Elcil noted that "the policy, which supports the division established on the line of 'embargo and isolation', continues to prevent the Turkish Cypriot community from being opened to the world".
Noting that the negotiations between the CFA and the Turkish Cypriot so-called federation seemed to have worried the supporters of division, who issue successive statements, Elcil added, inter alia, the following:
"Those, who oppose to the unification of the island and the cooperation between the Turkish Cypriots and the Greek Cypriots and hold negotiations for the sake of negotiating, have once more shown that they are insincere. Mr Eroglu, who pursues a separatist policy under the guidance of Ankara, has launched an initiative to sabotage the negotiations held between KOP and the Turkish Cypriot Football Federation, just like Mr Talat and those nourished by the regime had done in the past. He continues making a call on them for negotiating for the sake of negotiations but not to reach any result, just like he does. This policy, which tries to deceive the world with the lie that the Turkish Cypriots are under 'isolation and embargoes', is afraid of moves that will secure any cooperation..."
[06] Self-styled minister addresses an international meeting in IstanbulTurkish Cypriot daily Kibris newspaper (22.01.13) reports that Ali Cetin Amcaoglu, self-styled minister of agriculture and natural resources of the breakaway regime in the occupied area of the Republic of Cyprus, has addressed the "Our Region and Beyond Forestry Meeting" organized in Istanbul by the Turkish Ministry of Forests and Water Affairs.
According to a statement issued by his "ministry", Amcaoglu underlined the importance of the protection, improvement and sustainable development of the forests for the health and prosperity of the future generations. He argued that the friendly relations and the cooperation among the countries which participate in the meeting in Istanbul would contribute in this process.
Amcaoglu called on the ministers and the representatives of the countries which participate in the meeting to support what he described as "just cause of the Turks of Cyprus" and lift the so-called isolations. Amcaoglu thanked Turkey and especially the Turkish Minister of Forests and Water Affairs, Veysel Eroglu for their support to the Turkish Cypriots.
Kibris reports that Turkey, Egypt, Kyrgyzstan, Morocco, Niger, Palestine, Somalia, Albania, Tajikistan and the "TRNC", breakaway regime in the occupied area of the Republic of Cyprus, are the countries represented in the meeting at ministerial level.
The meeting was a preparation for the UN 10th Forestry Forum that will be hosted in Istanbul between 8 and 19 April 2013.
[07] Turkey's Cicek asked the OIC member states to extend more support to the occupation regimeAnkara Anatolia news agency (21.01.13) reported that the Turkish Parliament Speaker Cemil Cicek said on Monday that Turkey chose to be on the side of the Syrian people and continued to make humanitarian assistance to the Syrians.
Speaking at the 8th edition of the Parliamentary Union of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in Khartoum, Cemil Cicek underlined that "relieving the Syrian people from their wounds was a duty of everyone who believed in human rights and freedoms. Democratic transformation in the Middle East and in North Africa is inevitable, Cicek stressed.
"Turkey supports the legitimate demands of the regional peoples. Turkey underlines that the peoples, while bringing up demands, should not resort to violence. It is the duty of everyone who believes in human rights and freedoms to relieve the Syrian people's wounds," Cicek indicated.
"Facilitating peace in Syria in the shortest time possible, is a necessity of universal values and regional security", Cicek noted, underlining that It is the hope of everyone to see the process in Syria end in an atmosphere where all Syrian citizens are equal and Syria reaches a democratic system taken under constitutional guarantee.
"The structure in the Middle East is fragile. We want regional issues to be solved by dialogue and consensus," Cicek said.
On the Islamic world and human rights, Cicek stressed that the Islamic world should be one that established standards in human rights and one that was not criticized on human rights.
Touching on the OIC Summit of Leaders, Cicek stated that such a summit was never held in Turkey in the past. "We would be pleased to host all of you in Turkey. We would be happy to host the 13th OIC Summit of Leaders," Cicek indicated.
Cicek asked for the support of OIC member states in Turkey's bid to host the 2020 Olympic Games in Istanbul.
Cicek also asked the OIC member states to extend more support to Turkish "TRNC" and Azerbaijan.
[08] Bagis participated to the informal meeting of the EU Ministers; positive signals were reportedly sent from the EU in Turkey's membership talksUnder the above title, Turkish daily Today's Zaman (21.01.13) reported that positive signal came on Monday from the informal ministerial meeting of the EU to open new chapters with Turkey.
Turkish Minister of EU Affairs and Chief Negotiator Egemen Bagis, attended on Monday the informal meeting of EU Ministers held under the auspices of the current EU term president, Ireland, in Dublin.
Bag?s met with European Commissioner for Enlargement Stefan Fule on the sidelines of the meeting.
After the Ministerial meeting, Fule and Minister of State for European Affairs Lucinda Creighton held a press conference on EU-Turkey relations.
Creighton said that she hopes to make progress with Turkey in accession talks during Ireland's term presidency despite many enduring obstacles.
Fule said no chapter headings had been opened with Turkey during the last five EU term presidencies, adding that Monday's meeting showed that EU member states were willing to recover Turkey's membership talks by opening new chapter headings.
Underlining that the reform process in Turkey constituted a sound basis to open new chapters, Fule said the reforms were the pushing force of the membership negotiations. "Opening chapters regarding basic rights would be in the interest of not only Turkey but also the EU", added Fule.
This was the first time Minister Bagis attended an EU meeting since the "Greek Cypriot EU term presidency", as the Republic of Cyprus' EU term Presidency is called, ended on December 31, 2012. Bagis did not attend any EU meetings during the last six-month.
Bagis and the EU ministers came together for a photograph at the Castle of Dublin after their meeting, which was closed to the press.
Meanwhile, Ankara Anatolia news agency (21.01.13) reported from Brussels that the European Parliament (EP) Turkey rapporteur Ria Oomen-Ruijten's demand of opening two chapters in the negotiation process, was supported.
Dutch Christian Democrat rapporteur Ria Oomen-Ruijten penned "European Parliament resolution on the 2012 progress report on Turkey". The report was discussed at the EP Foreign Affairs Committee.
Spokesman of the political groups at the EP and many MPs who spoke at the session stressed that they agreed with the opening of chapter 23 on judiciary and fundamental rights and chapter 24 on justice, freedom and security.
[09] Swoboda: The energy chapter in Turkey's accession negotiations should openTurkish Cypriot daily Haberdar newspaper (22.01.13) reports that Hannes Swoboda, president of the Socialist Group in the European Parliament, has argued that the chapter of energy should open in Turkey's accession negotiations with the EU. In statements to ABhaber website, Swoboda referred also to the Cyprus problem and said that after the presidential elections on the island the negotiating process should continue from the point it was left and a solution should be reached.
According to the paper, Swoboda expressed the view that Turkey's accession process could gain a new acceleration in 2013 and argued that the chapters regarding energy and the fundamental rights should open. He said that progress in Turkey's EU accession process would be for the benefit of both sides. He argued that work should be done on Turkey's image in Europe and added that those who oppose Turkey's accession put forward the issue of different culture and religion.
Referring to the Cyprus problem, he said he does not expect any development at this stage and added that after the elections the negotiations should resume from the point they were left. "A solution should be reached in Cyprus. As Socialist Group we have expressed our support on this issue in the past as well", he noted.
[10] Omer Guney, the prime suspect for the murder in ParisAnkara Anatolia news agency (21.01.13) reported from Paris that the Paris Public Prosecutor Francois Molins has said that Omer Guney, who had been detained in connection with the killing of three Kurdish women in Paris, was the prime suspect.
Three Kurdish women --Sakine Cansiz, Fidan Dogan and Leyla Soylemez-- had been found dead on January 9, at Kurdish Information Center in Paris. They had been shot in the head which appeared to be an execution-style killing. Cansiz was a co-founder of the terrorist PKK organization.
The murders coincided with ongoing talks between Turkish intelligence officials and PKK's jailed leader Abdullah Ocalan in a bid to disarm the terrorist group.
Briefing the press about the murders, Molins said that they had the security cameras of nearby stores and saw that Guney entered and left the building twice which coincided with the time of shooting.
Molins said that Guney, who was born in Turkey's central Anatolian Sivas province in 1982, had been a PKK member for two years, adding that Guney did not confess the murders but his statements were contradictory. "We have also found gunshot residue on a bag belonging to Guney", Molins added.
Guney was sent to court.
[11] BDP seeks inquiry into Dink's murderAccording to Turkish daily Hurriyet Daily News (22.01.13) the Peace and Democracy Party (BDP) has submitted a proposal to open a parliamentary inquiry into the murder of Hrant Dink, a Turkish journalist of Armenian origin, only days after the sixth anniversary of his assassination.
The proposal, submitted to the Parliamentary Speaker's Office on January 21 by a group of BDP Deputies led by Deputy parliamentary group chair Idris Baluken. "The ideological discrimination observed along the judicial process following the assassination has opened a deep wound in society's conscience", BDP deputies said.
They asked for a parliamentary inquiry to be opened to fulfil justice, to overcome the problems in the judicial approach and for the investigation of the murder along with its deep connections.
Dink was murdered on January 19, 2007, in broad daylight in front of the offices of Agos, the paper where he worked, by Ogun Samast, a 17-year-old Turkish nationalist. After a two-year trial, Samast was convicted of premeditated murder and sentenced to 22 years and 10 months of prison.
The court also ruled that Dink's murder was not an organized crime despite serious claims that some civil servants linked to the "deep state" were "indirectly" involved, to the dismay of Dink's family.
However, this court decision was recently challenged in an appeal. The prosecutor's office of the Supreme Court of Appeals asked the top court to overturn the rulings in Dink's murder case on January 10, arguing that there were enough elements to conclude that the assassination had been organized.
[12] Gold production in Turkey rises in 2012According to Turkish daily Hurriyet Daily News (22.01.13) Turkey's gold production increased to 29.5 tons in 2012 from a mere 1.4 tons in 2002. According to figures, Turkey produces 136 tons of gold in this period.
According to Gold Miners Association Chairman Umit Akdurb, Turkey broke its all-time gold extraction record in 2012 with 29.5 tons, generating $1.7 billion, coming at a time when the country has increased gold sales to the Islamic Republic of Iran, who faces hardships in cash transactions.
Gold production increased from a mere 1.4 tons in 2002, the sector representative told Anatolia news agency. "Thus, the gradual increase shows us that gold production in Turkey grew to 136 tons from 2001 to 2012," he said, adding that Turkey has invested $2 billion in gold mining in the last two decades. Some $630 million was spent on exploration and the remaining $1.4 billion allocated to mining facilities and management.
Turkey imported a sum of $140 billion in gold between 1995 and 2012, according to Akdur. During the last 18 years, the country imported an annual average of 150 tons of gold, spending around $8 billion and his expectation for gold production in 2013 is 33 tons.
China produces the most gold with 351 tons of gold production followed by Australia with 258 tons and the U.S. with 232 tons.
Akdur also noted that nine gold mining companies were active in the country and in the following 10 years, new business organizations would be opened, raising the number of active firms to more than 20. "It takes 15 years to search for and discover new gold mines and also to produce [gold from] them," he said.
Turkey is also among the leading gold consumers, with the precious metal being one of the most popular presents for special days such as marriages.
Turkey sold $6.5 billion worth of gold to Iran and another $4.2 billion worth to the United Arab Emirates in the first 11 months of 2012. Ankara is under severe pressure from its Western allies to reduce imports of natural gas from Iran, owing to Tehran's disputed nuclear program.
On November 30, the U.S. Senate unanimously approved new economic sanctions aimed at further crippling Iran's energy, shipping and port sectors, a year after Congress passed tough restrictions against Tehran.
[13] Israeli spokesman on Turkey's ties with Israel; Turkish-Israeli ties got more tense after the violation of the occupation regime's "airspace"Ankara Anatolia news agency (22.01.13) reports that the spokesman of the Israeli Foreign Ministry Amira Oron said on Tuesday that Turkey was the key for stability in the Middle East.
In an exclusive interview with the Anadolu Agency (AA), Oron underlined that Tel Aviv attached high importance in relations with Turkey. "We want our relations with Turkey to return to their old status after Tuesday's elections. Turkey is a crucial country for regional stability," Oron stressed.
Asked if Israel would accept Turkey's conditions to normalize relations again, Oron stated that they kept sending positive messages to Turkey but that they did not know the details of an apology that Turkey wanted from Israel. "In order to help relations return to their good days, Turkey and Israel both have to make concessions", Oron noted.
Turkish-Israeli relations were badly damaged when Israeli troops raided the "Mavi Marmara" aid ship carrying humanitarian assistance to Gaza in May 2010. Nine Turks were killed in the Israeli raid.
Turkey demanded an apology from Israel for the incident and wanted Israel to pay compensation to the families of the killed Turks.
Turkish-Israeli relations got more tense when Israeli jets violated the air space of the "TRNC" on May 14, 2012. TURKISH AFFAIRS SECTION

: Owner Carla Leonardi's Montlake restaurant offers handmade pasta tossed with long-simmered sauce and apple wood fire-baked pizzas. Pizza toppings range from goat cheese and caramelized onions to classic marinara and mozzarella. Other menu favorites are seven-layer lasagna, gnocchi and ricotta-filled ravioli. Prime sirloin is finished with rich Gorgonzola, while the roasted chicken is garnished with tender Brussels sprouts. For a sweet finish, the nutty, candied orange-flecked biscotti is our first choice, although a lemon tart provides serious competition. Cocktails and a small but thoughtfully chosen list of Italian wines round out the experience.

Going back to work is proving to be more difficult than I initially imagined it would be. I came home at lunch because the nausea and headaches were too much today. I slept most of the entire afternoon because the pain medicine knocked me out, and I will likely be asleep early tonight as well.
It's been 2 weeks since I've been taken off one of my pain medicines, mainly because it quit working for me and the expense was so damned high. I should be over the withdrawal affects of that drug by now; I didn't notice anything really, anyways, over the past 2 weeks. But still, the intense pain and nausea are keeping me from functioning at the level I need to complete my projects for work.
My wife is starting to get weighed down and frustrated with me and my being sick all the time, and I don't blame her. When she stops caring all together, I will stop caring also. I'm so sorry for being sick all the time and the medical bills are starting to reach the level of no return. It's taken over our lives and it has to end soon; I would rather die than bankrupt my family over this bullshit. Plus, when it comes to pain, I am a whimp. My tolerance level for pain is too low and the pain meds make me a walking zombie who would rather sit around and drool more than any other activity. It can't get to the point of bankruptcy; I won't let it while I'm still me and able.
Lately, all I won't to do is cry for all the missed interaction with my 3 sons. I can't get that time back. Damn, this sucks beyond belief! I want to SCREAM!! I want it to stop. I wonder how others with health issues cope; I wonder if they ignore the pain. Maybe I can ignore my pain and pretend that I'm not sick anymore; I can just ignore this shit-bag ill life I have and smile; smile my damn ass off. I get mad! Then, I get sad and depressed; repeat ad-infinitum, or until death. Maybe I just haven't found the right medicine or treatment, so I go to doctors, get prescriptions, spend all my time and money, and then I'm right back where I started. The medicines have destroyed the old me; I feel dead already or I feel like I'm waiting. So, I keep bouncing from doctor to doctor. No luck yet.
As I write, I lay in bed, read, write some more, and I hear my 3 sons having a water-balloon fight outside my window and I cry a pity sob to myself for being in here. One more day of misery down; X many more to go? My emotional rollercoaster is taking a toll on my relationship with my wife as I said. She has stopped being physically close to me or giving hugs, kisses, or other demonstrations of affection. I can't and I don't blame her; it's taken its toll and I think it sucks just as much for her as it does for me. I believe she is distancing herself from the evitable end, of me. I hold no ill feelings for her and I understand it. I still love her more and more every day since we were married 14 years ago.
I really need to find a way to guarantee my son's college educations are paid for in case of the inevitable. This is my biggest concern and I must assure that my sons will be educated at a university of their choosing at all costs. I will see all my possessions disappear to make this happen. I need to stop for a few to take some pain meds. Be back soon.
Well, I managed to open my bedroom window to catch the end of the water-balloon war. The backyard is covered in multicolored pieces of balloon everywhere now. They must have had a ball; they are soaking wet and all smiles. For $5.00 at Walmart you really can't beat the level of fun versus the cost. God, I love to see them smile like that.
My boys are so smart, and I'm not just saying that because I'm their parent. My oldest is on the golf team and he is taking honors analytic geometry next year in 8th grade, and it's supposed to be a 10th grade course. My middle son received the President's Award for getting all A's all year long and he writes fantasy fiction stories that are actually as good or better than some of the commercial writers I've read. My youngest is in the first grade starting next year, and he can already read at such a high level. He reads "Percy Jackson" stories, "Harry Potter" books, and much more. I am so, so, so proud of all of them.
Thinking how successful they will become in their lives makes my days so much more than they could be otherwise. I thank God for my sons and my wife. I am truly blessed.

The club's been running since 1965 and is a real abled giving them an opportunity for Garden Centre at Three Cocks with a stop on the way home for an ice cream at Locks Garage To help meet some of the £7,000 annual running costs for fuel, insurance and maintenance Lions Club asks for a financial contribution from users. It also welcomes non-club members who volunteer to drive the mini-bus occasionally. One of them, retired police inspector Basil Patterson said: "I enjoy taking groups on the occasional outing and recommend it to others like me who have retired and have some spare time to help in the community." Ian Foster can be contacted on 01432 880816. CASH FROM CAKES GIVEN TO LIONS Pupils at Wellington Primary School baked cakes for the Harvest Festival and sold them to family and friends and the donations raised £50. The youngsters then drew up a short list of local charities to donate the cash to and researched each one before voting on the one to receive the cheque. It was Hereford Lions Club's lucky day and president Ian Foster went along to a school assembly to collect it and tell the children about Lions International and the work its 1.4 million volunteers do helping those in need all round the world. Said Ian: "It was a lovely gesture by the children and I assured them their donation would be put to good use helping Lions support those in need." Ian pictured with the group of pupils who organised the fund raising Basil Patterson with residents of Ballinger Court heading for an outing to Queens Wood. project. e Riding for the Disabled chael King and Jessica Jackson in the saddle who has already ddition to the stables. Ian Foster's first official duty as the new president of Hereford Lions Club was to present a new horse to Herefordshire Riding for the Disabled at their Holme Lacy eques- trian centre. Supporting the charity is one of his key aims. Trojan is a seven year old handsome Welsh Cob bought by the Lions for £3,250 and who has already won the hearts of all those who benefit from the therapy of horse riding. Said Ian: "Lions bought a similar horse for the charity several years ago and Trojan's gentle nature makes him a natural companion for those with various disabilities. I, and my fellow Lions have been so impressed with the success of RDA that it was chosen as the first project of my year in office." Rachael King, manager at the riding centre said: "Lions have long been generous supporters and the gift of Trojan, whose temperament is perfect for the role he has to play will have a huge impact on the service we provide for the disabled." There are 11 horses and ponies at the volunteer centre providing riding therapy for 150 a week with ages ranging from four to 80. RECYCLED MOBILITY SUCCESS Brenda Bayliss of Putson summed up the success of Hereford Lions Club's latest community project – recycling mobility aids for the disabled: "It's a wonderful scheme; a real godsend for those like me who can't walk. The mobility scooter Lions have given me gives me more freedom and I can take my dog for a walk down to King George playing fields." The scheme was launched a year ago with an appeal for families with unwanted mobility scooters or wheelchairs to donate them to Lions Club to be refurbished and passed on to someone in need of one. Said Terry Williams, who runs the service: "The response has been very encouraging and we have been able to help quite a lot of disabled people who might not have the funds to buy a new scooter or wheel- chair. It makes sense to find a good home for an unwanted aid for the handicapped." Terry can be contacted, either to donate or to request help, on 01432 276948 Terry delivers a sturdy scooter to Brenda.

….Speaks on why her generation faded away, her son's ordeal and father's lifestyle
Her face was dotted with smiles, even as she recounts her pathetic story. In a long while, she has never been seen in that kind of happy mood. While the lively interview session lasted, one could feel her joy, peace of mind and renewed enthusiasm to get back her groove.
Samba Queen, Stella Monye is known to be wearing long face because of turn of events in her life. But on this occasion, she was cheerful and ready to mingle again. After several years of being shut out of the world following the protracted ill health of her son, Ibrahim, Monye is looking good to reclaim her place in the Nigerian music scene.
For more than 18 years, she was by the bedside of her ailing son, who had an accident which pierced his scrotum. That ugly incident has not only affected her psychologically, but also, it has had a huge impact on her career and music.
21 Killed, 50 cattles rustled in Kaduna attack- Police
But the good news is that Monye's son is doing well now after he underwent two corrective surgeries in New York, last year. His urethra was badly damaged as a result the accident which led to other complications including kidney and liver diseases.
Monye was recently a guest on a Channels Television programme: 'The Chat,' anchored by ace-broadcaster, Mani Onumonu, to share her painful past and triumph. It was a moment of rejuvenation for the samba queen who was once feeling isolated and abandoned.
"Sometimes, God uses the trials you face in life to turn your face to him," she muttered, as she recounts her ordeal. She continued, "It depends on what has happened to you . Of course, it get to that level where you go higher.
"I think my being invisible largely has to do with the accident my son, Ibrahim had many years back. That kind of delayed me, almost ruined my life and made a great impact on my music and career as well as his own career and work."
However, the samba queen was full of praises to her maker for the life of her son. She said even though her son has undergone two corrective surgeries, in New York, he was due for another surgery last February.
"Recently, I took him to New York where about two surgeries were done on him. We are waiting for the next surgery, in February. I just hope it would the last time, we would be talking about the same issue. There are things that happened to you that would make you to run to Jesus Christ. I have this praise album that I am putting together to thank God for his mercies," Monye added.
Recounting her ordeal, Monye expressed disappointment with the federal government who never bothered to come to her rescue when her son had the accident.
According to her, Ibrhaim, who's now 29, had the accident when he was 11. The 'Oko mi ye' crooner said she was on a national assignment when her mother called her to share the bad news. "My disappointment really was with the Nigerian government. I was on a national assignment when the incident happened, the government has not even said a word and that is surprising because I have been on many assignments for the country.
I was on tour, NIGERIA '99, with the best of Nigerian musicians that summer of 1999. We had Late Christy Essien Igbokwe, Shina Peters, Otis Wiliki. We were in Abuja to hand over the FIFA Junior Football Championship theme song to the then President, Gen Abdulsalam Abubarkar. My mother called me to share the sad news. I was on national assignment for Nigeria and I could not leave my colleagues behind. I chose my nation over my son's painful accident.
Obama, Stevie Wonder, Snoop Dogg pay tribute to rapper Nipsey Hussle
If I was at home on that day, my son wouldn't have stepped out of the house. Apart from the fact that there has been some publicity in recent times, which I'm sure some government officials are aware of, I have reached out to different government authorities but I have never gotten any response."
Narrating how her son's ordeal started, the samba queen said he was trying to assist a friend who complained to him as they walked home from lesson that there was no water at their home, and he had not taken bath in days. Inside their compound was a water tanker, barricaded by fences with sharp edged irons for security.
The child pointed toward the water tank as he complained that he needed water from the tank to shower for the day, but couldn't climb over the fence to turn the tap. Ibrahim volunteered to climb over the fence to open the tap, allowing water to gush. As he climbed the fence, he fell; his scrotum got caught by the sharp iron on top of the fence. It penetrated his scrotum, tore flesh of the scrotum as it pinched deep, painfully inside his urethra.
"And because there was no proper attention given to him at the time of the incident, it started affecting his kidney and liver. It's a really painful journey. The only thing I did was to encourage him to do a lot of online courses. In his sickbed, he has done a lot courses on IT. He's a very intelligent young man. But his health challenges somewhat has slowed him down."
Corruption charges: Court frees former senate president
Asked to comment on the music of today, Monye, who gained popularity through her hit track, "Oko Mi Ye", said the music scene is currently dominated by the children of the rich and yahoo yahoo boys. According to her, her generation faded into oblivion because of the absence of notable record companies like EMI, which left the country at a time. Monye described generation as a 'bridge ' between musical legends and contemporary talents in the Nigerian musical industry.
" People still call us the legends but the truth is that we are a bridge between the music legends and this new generation of singers. For our generation, we were used to proper channel which has to with going to the record companies to submit our demos and the studio manages would take it up from there. But these record companies left the country because of the activities of pirates and un- conducive environment."
"Given the development, a lot of us started leaving the country in search of greener pastures overseas, people like Mike Okri jetted out of the country, followed by Majek Fashek, late Ras Kimono among others. A lot of us stop recording because there were no record companies that would take up the jobs.
"This new boys came on board with a lot of cash, some of them are into yahoo yahoo, while many of them are from rich homes. If you look at what is happening in the industry presently, you will notice that a lot of children of the rich are dominating the space. They are also helped by the advent of technology. These days, with computer, they can make songs, but it was not so with our generation. We didn't have the kind of facilities that are available today."
On how she began her music career, the samba queen said she started singing in school. "It started while I was in school. I know that I used to be interested in singing, theatre and all of that. Someone reminded me that I have this vocal ability,I didn't recognize that from the beginning."
Scavenger jailed for stealing church property worth N250,000
Talking about her debut album, "Oko mi ye" Monye said she didn't know that the song was going to be a hit when she first composed it. She added that she dedicated the album to her mother because of what she went through in life to keep her marriage.
According to Monye, her father was a Casanova, who never cared for her mother's feelings. "My mother was one of those African women who really want to stay in their marriages no matter the odds. She was going through some things in life. My father was a Casanova, but my mother stayed back to save her marriage. My father married the second wife and another wife, and my mother never gave up.
She stayed in her rightful position, welcoming the women and never gave them any trouble. At a point, I couldn't help it, as I decided to do a song for her. I didn't know that the song would be hit. I was attending one Methodist church then. When I did the song, somebody advised me to talk EMI recording company. The song sold out but I never made a dime from it."

Chris Brown and Ray J Surprise Fans With 'Burn My Name'
Chris Brown and Ray J surprised fans with a collaborative mixtape aptly titled, Burn My Name, which definitely works for the complicated R&B lotharios. The 10-track project features Jackie Long, Payso B, and Truth KO and opens up with "F*ck Them Hoes." So much for beating around the bush, huh?
"Lately I've been doin' way too much, I'm ruthless," sings CB. "I've been playing stupid, way too much excuses / I know I let you down, pussy made me lose it / You know my mind is stupid whenever she shaking the booty."
Though tapping Vince Staples as a guest, his debut comes in the form of an interview soundbite telling Hot 97 why Ray J is "top 5 hip-hop West Coast of all time" and that "everything we love is directly related to Ray J." Payso, Jackie, and Truth pop up on "Let It Bang."
The project ends off with the title track, which brings things full circle and allows the press-worthy pair to sing candidly about their careers. This comes as a follow up to last year's "Famous" and Attack the Block's "Cherry Red," "I Already Love Her," and "New Gang," which also features the R&B crooners.
While we await Chris Brown's eighth studio album Heartbreak on a Full Moon and Ray J's Raydemption, stream Burn My Name here.

Slackware is awsome, the install is a peice of CeNsOrEd i dont see why people are scared by it, all i had to do was enter some stuff in XF86Config so it used my video card instead of that VESA doowhacky, which was easy anyway.
Okay i knew this would happen, cos X11 said it would, but how do i get sound goin?
the module that was used before was "cmipci" for the cmedia onboard some thing i have, how do i load this module (is it just #modprobe cmipci?) i think i will need other modules as well but im not sure.
Anyway this is not a major gripe but would be nice to resolve.
viva la slackware
I got slack going
