Bible Professor Says God Made Eve Using Adam's Penis, Not Rib

WHY DON’T HUMANS HAVE A PENIS BONE?
The baculum, or penile bone, is found in the penis of many placental mammals, including cats, dogs and apes. The bone, such as that from a walrus helps to maintain stiffness during copulation. However some animals, including elephants and humans, don't have the bone.

Christians have reacted with fury after a religious academic suggested Eve was not made from Adam's rib, but was instead formed using his penis.
The theory, put forward by revered biblical professor Ziony Zevit, suggests God made Eve from Adam's baculum, or penis bone.
Professor Zevit said this explains why man has no baculum, unlike most mammals, and why men don't have an uneven number of ribs compared to women.


The Garden of Eden story, one of the most famous narratives in Western history, is typically read as an ancient account of original sin and humanity’s fall from divine grace. In this highly innovative study, Ziony Zevit argues that this is not how ancient Israelites understood the early biblical text. Drawing on such diverse disciplines as biblical studies, geography, archaeology, mythology, anthropology, biology, poetics, law, linguistics, and literary theory, he clarifies the worldview of the ancient Israelite readers during the First Temple period and elucidates what the story likely meant in its original context.

Most provocatively, he contends that... http://www.controversialada.com/2016/04/eve-was-created-from-adams-penis-new.html

JASPER, Tenn. (AP) — A Tennessee mother faces child neglect charges after deputies say she made her daughters walk to school.

The Chattanooga Times Free-Press (http:///1UHXZH6 ) reports that 32-year-old Lisa Marie Palmer was charged after authorities found her driving ahead of her daughters as she made them walk to school.

Marion County sheriff's Deputy Chris Ladd, who spotted the two girls, says it appeared Palmer was driving ahead of her children and allowing them to catch up to her car until the kids reached the school.

Sheriff Ronnie "Bo" Burnett says Palmer told deputies that her daughters were being punished for missing the bus.

Ladd said the girls had walked more than a mile and had about two more miles to go.

"Temperatures were cold, and traffic was beginning to become heavy with citizens heading to work," Ladd states. "Mrs. Palmer was in no position to reach her children safely in the event of an emergency."

Palmer is scheduled for an initial court appearance on April 18. Court officials say she doesn't have an attorney yet.

Marion County is located just west of Chattanooga.

You beat me to it. Even though i am a woman. what you wrote is 100% plus. No sentiment at all. I always tell people especially men, No single girl you see walking on the street is "single" there are men ion his life but she may not be too serious with them till she find s the one her heart totally accepted. If a woman tell you she is faithful to only you, the implication is that she is not probably sleeping with other men not necessarily that she does not have other men she admires or that admires her in return. I could go on more but.....

I write here because i believe learned well meaning Nigerians could be reached through this mediums. what is the way forward for some of these abandoned cases. If we continue to ignore these little, one daywe might wake up to see Nigeria sold again into slavery and we dare not speak against it. Say No to Autocracy! Say yes to Accountability and Transparency in Government

Nigeria is an interesting country where “everything goes” and where all things are possible even as the events look clumsy. These listed controversies are yet to be accounted for. What happened to them remains a mirage.

1. ‘Missing’ $20 billion oil money:
After former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor (now Emir of Kano) Malam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi told the Senate Committee on Finance that the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) had yet to remit $20bn to government coffers, all hell was let loose. He, in October 2013, lit the fire in a letter to President Goodluck Jonathan, alleging that the NNPC failed to remit about $49.8 billion oil revenue into the Federation Account, saying the said money was missing and needed investigation. He had stated that the NNPC failed since 2012 to account for nearly $50 billion in crude oil sales that should, by law, have been remitted to government coffers through the CBN. Sanusi was dissatisfied with the explanations made by the NNPC authorities over the allegations though he acknowledged that Finance Minister Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala had made some explanations on its whereabouts.(Till date nothing further has been heard of whether the money was recovered or not)



2. FGN suspends former CBN governor, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi (February 20):
President Jonathan suspended Malam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi as CBN governor, claiming that his tenure had been characterised by acts of financial recklessness and misconduct. The president said he was concerned about far-reaching irregularities under Malam Sanusi’s watch, which have distracted the apex bank away from the pursuit and achievement of its statutory mandate. Before his suspension, there had been plans for the ex-CBN governor to go on retirement leave but it was not to be. He however did not exit the financial stage without responding to the 35-count allegations against him by the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria and the federal government.( This is 2016, Sanusi is still bubbling. which way Nigeria)

3. 19 applicants killed at Immigration Service recruitment exercise (March 15):
Nineteen applicants were killed and scores injured at the 2014 Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) recruitment exercise, a tragedy which occurred when 6.5 million people across the country (including the FCT) stormed various recruitment centres in the

SURE-P :A Medium of Looting more Public Fund

SURE-P Directors Hammered For Embezzling N3bn SURE-P Graduate Internship Funds.
The bank accounts of several SURE-P directors have been frozen and their vehicles seized after the ICPC commenced an investigation over embezzling of N3bn of the agency's funds.

The SURE-P was introduced by the Goodluck Jonathan administration and was mandated to convert saved fuel subsidy money to jobs, roads and other people-oriented programmes. It however became political during the build-up to the 2015 elections. The programme was scrapped by President Muhammadu Buhari in November last year.

“We have frozen the bank accounts of some of the officials while we have started seizing some vehicles from them. Our plan is to seize about 200. Presently, we have seized about 30," an official of the agency said.

Reports say the probe was in connection with a N3bn fraud allegedly involving the Federal Ministry of Finance and the SURE-P Graduate Internship Scheme.

The money, as learned, was meant for the payment of the participants.

In Nigeria, the minute government embarks on a multi-billion naira enterprise the sharp guys devise the plans to subvert it by robbing the programme blind. SURE-P is going the way of National ID Card Scheme, Obasanjo’s $13-16 billion IPP for which we had nothing to show until PHCN was privatized and the National Water Rehabilitation Scheme of another regime.
However, SURE-P is different in one respect – it was so hastily cobbled together, by the Finance Minister, and full of unattainable goals that the original document was ordered withdrawn by President Jonathan in less than six months. That was after millions of naira had been...

Burundi Is On Brink Of Civil War, UN Warns
Channels Television.
Updated March 19, 2016
111

BurundiThe United Nations (UN) has warned that Burundi is on the brink of a civil war amid continued human rights abuses in the small Central African state.

Burundi has been embroiled in political violence since President Pierre Nkurunziza announced last April that he would seek a third term.

At least 439 people had been killed and more than 250,000 had fled the country.

The United Nations is under growing pressure to show it can halt the bloodshed in Burundi, more than two decades after the 1994 genocide in neighboring Rwanda.

U.N. Rights Chief, Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein, said there was no indication of a decline in reports of arbitrary arrests and detentions and there was an increase in reports of torture and ill-treatment.

“Continued human rights violations and impunity for perpetrators mean that many of Burundi’s people live in terror.

“The country remains on the brink of a sudden escalation of violence to even more massive proportions, ” Zeid said.

In January, the 15-member Security Council made its second visit to the landlocked state in less than a year, where fears of an ethnic war also led to an economic crisis. U.N. Secretary-General, Ban Ki-moon also visited in February.

“I expressed my profound worry that the potential spiraling of violence risks relapse into civil war.

“I urge the government to take measures to address the continued violence and the impunity that fuels it,” Ban told the Security Council.

I am concerned. Are you Concerned? Especially of the Latest but strong Agitation for Biafra in the Country. Nobody wants war, nobody needs war especially civil law.
We need a way out.

Their claims is to give them amnesty as they gave South South Ex-Militants. Just wondering if Boko ends today what other Militant group would emerge.
I am already sensing The Fulani Herdsmen and their latest escapades.....

FG Urged To Pardon Forcefully Recruited Boko Haram Members
Channels Television.

Boko Haram - Insurgency - COWAAA civil society organisation has appealed to the Federal Government to grant amnesty to members of the Boko Haram sect who were forcefully recruited into the group.

The Coalition of Women Advancement in Africa (COWAA) said that the reprieve would enable government to further decimate the population of the dreaded group.

The Executive Vice President of COWAA, Mrs Jummai Pukat, made the call while addressing a news conference in Abuja on Monday.

According to Mrs Pukat, granting amnesty to such members of the group would assist the military in sustaining the onslaught against the leadership of the sect.

Commending the efforts of the military in the fight against terror, COWAA called on the Nigerian Armed Forces to intensify efforts aimed at ensuring that innocent lives are not wasted by the insurgents.

Meanwhile, the Chief of Air Staff has reassured Nigerians that the war against the terrorist in the northeast would soon be won.

Air Marshal Sadiq Abubakar made the statement on Monday during his Easter visit to the troops in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital.

While describing as unfortunate the insurgents’ insistence on destroying the peace of Borno State and the entire Nigeria’s northeast, he applauded the commitment of officers and men of the Armed Forces.

WASHINGTON (AP) — As North Korea rattles its nuclear saber, threatening to bomb the U.S. at "any moment," a nerve-jangling question hangs in the air: If Pyongyang did launch a nuclear-armed missile at an American city, could the Pentagon's missile defenses overcome their spotty test record and shoot it down beyond U.S. shores?

America has never faced such a real-life crisis, and although officials say they are confident the defenses would work as advertised, the Pentagon acknowledges potential gaps that North Korea or others might be able to exploit, someday if not immediately.

One possible vulnerability involves a foe's "countermeasures," or decoys carried aboard long-range offensive missiles to fool a U.S. interceptor missile into hitting the wrong target.

The Pentagon has poured at least $84 billion into missile defense over the past decade and is planning to spend another $3.3 billion over the next five years for a single element of the system, known as Ground-based Midcourse Defense, or GMD. Its key part is a network of interceptor missiles designed to launch from underground silos, fly into the path of an enemy missile as it arcs through space and smash into it, destroying it.

That system has failed three of its last four intercept tests. The only success in that series was the most recent test, in June 2014.

A congressional watchdog agency, the Government Accountability Office, said in February that the Pentagon "has not demonstrated through flight testing that it can defend the U.S. homeland against the current missile defense threat."

Adm. William Gortney, America's homeland defender as head of U.S. Northern Command, told Congress this month that the nation needs "more capable forces and broader options." Key improvements are in the works, including a "long-range discrimination" radar for more effective tracking of incoming missiles.

The North Koreans' harsh rhetoric, including a threat in February to deal "fatal blows at the U.S. mainland any moment," is linked in part to its anger at U.S.-South Korean military exercises, which the North sees as a rehearsal for an invasion.

No one is predicting a bolt-out-of-the-blue North Korean nuclear attack, but the threat looms larger as the North Koreans seemingly move closer to fielding a nuclear-armed missile that can reach U.S. territory. Already this year they have claimed a successful H-bomb test, put a satellite into space orbit and claimed a successful simulated test of the warhead re-entry knowhow needed for a missile strike on the United States.

On Thursday, the North claimed to have successfully tested a solid-fuel rocket engine which, if true, would mark a significant further technological advance. The use of solid fuel reduces launch preparation time and thus shortens warning time for U.S. defenses.

More appears to be in store. State-run media reported earlier this month that leader Kim Jong Un ordered preparations for a "nuclear warhead explosion test" soon and test-firings of "several kinds of ballistic rockets able to carry nuclear warheads." With increasing regularity, the North Koreans are claiming major advances on the nuclear front that have caught Washington's attention, even if they are exaggerated.

President Barack Obama, who plans to address 50 heads of state gathered in Washington this week for a nuclear security summit, has said North Korea's pursuit of nuclear and missile programs "increasingly imperils the United States."

Of particular worry is a long-range missile under development in North Korea that the U.S. calls the KN-08. The Pentagon's most recent public report on North Korea says the KN-08 has a range of more than 3,400 miles (5,470 kilometers), putting it into the category of an intercontinental ballistic missile, or ICBM.

Gortney said the KN-08 has "profound implications," especially if it is deployed as a road-mobile weapon, meaning it could be moved and launched from vehicles that make it less vulnerable to detection. Such mobility, he said, would enable the North Koreans to elude or confound traditional U.S. pre-launch warning systems.

Gortney says the North Koreans may have figured out how to make a nuclear warhead small enough to fit atop a KN-08 missile.

"While the KN-08 remains untested, modeling suggests it could deliver a nuclear (weapon) to much of the continental United States," Gortney told a Senate panel March 10.

The segment of U.S. missile defenses designed to stop a long-range North Korean missile are the interceptors based at Fort Greely, Alaska, and Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. Three years ago this month, then-Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel announced that the Pentagon would increase the number of deployed interceptors to 44 by putting an extra 14 at Fort Greely. The price tag for that expansion, initially put at $1 billion, has jumped to $1.5 billion.

None of the extra 14 interceptors has been deployed yet, but all are to be in place by the end of next year. Defense Secretary Ash Carter told a House committee last week that the Pentagon also is working on a more effective "kill vehicle," which is the device attached to the top of an interceptor; its internal guidance system helps steer it into an oncoming missile, destroying it by force of impact.

Just Wondering.... When will Nigeria Grow from struggling to beat Dollars and face reality out there?

In an open letter to voters supporting Donald Trump in the Republican presidential primary, the former communications director of Trump’s now-defunct Super PAC said that the former reality television star not only never expected to be the Republican nominee, much less president, but never even wanted to be.

Writing for the website xojane.com, Stephanie Cegielski said that when she was brought aboard as communications director for the Make America Great Again PAC last summer, the instructions from Trump Tower were to make sure that Trump finished a respectable second in the GOP primary. It was made clear that Trump was running not as a serious contender, but as a “protest” candidate.

Related: Terrorist Toddlers? Guns at the Convention? How Absurd Can the GOP Get?

“I don't think even Trump thought he would get this far,” she wrote. “And I don’t even know that he wanted to, which is perhaps the scariest prospect of all.

“He certainly was never prepared or equipped to go all the way to the White House, but his ego has now taken over the driver's seat, and nothing else matters. The Donald does not fail. The Donald does not have any weakness.”

The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment on this story.

Cegielski, now an adjunct professor at New York University and the owner of a communications firm, said that she was a true believer herself when she was recruited to join the Super PAC.

“I was tired of the rhetoric in Washington. Negativity and stubbornness were at an all-time high, and the presidential prospects didn't look promising,” she wrote. In 2015, I fell in love with the idea of the protest candidate who was not bought by corporations. A man who sat in a Manhattan high-rise he had built, making waves as a straight talker with a business background, full of successes and failures, who wanted America to return to greatness. I was sold.”

Related: Why a Trump Candidacy Threatens the GOP Majority in Congress

But as time went on, she said, she came to realize that Trump’s entry into the race had always been about raising his own profile, not about actually winning a presidential nomination.

“Trump never intended to be the candidate. But his pride is too out of control to stop him now,” she wrote.

“He doesn't want the White House. He just wants to be able to say that he could have run the White House. He’s achieved that already and then some. If there is any question, take it from someone who was recruited to help the candidate succeed, and initially very much wanted him to do so.”

Cegielski, an attorney and the former vice president of public relations for the Public Relations Society of America, could be dismissed as a disgruntled former employee. The Trump campaign shut down the PAC that she worked for in October.

(Interestingly, Cegielski describes the move to shut the Super PAC as an “internal decision” made “in order to position him as the quintessential non-politician.” It’s unclear, but this at least suggests a degree of coordination between the campaign and the Super PAC, which would violate election laws.)

Related: For Now, Democrats Savor a Clinton-Trump Matchup This Fall

However, Cegielski said that she supported the decision to shut down the PAC and continued to support Trump “with great passion” afterward. It was only slowly, as she began to look at Trump “as a member of the voting public rather than a communications person charged with protecting his positions,” that she started to feel disillusioned.

In the end, she said, she decided that Trump is not an authentic voice for disaffected Americans alienated from Washington and left behind by the global economy.

Speaking to current Trump supporters, she wrote,

“He is not that voice. He is not your voice. He is only Trump's voice.”

Bernie Sanders has swept to victory over Hillary Clinton in all three states that voted for the Democratic presidential nominee onSaturday.
The biggest prize was Washington state, but Mr Sanders also won in Alaska and Hawaii, boosting his campaign. He was projected to have taken more than 70% of the vote in all three.
Mr Sanders thanked his supporters and saidhis "campaign has the momentum", but he still faces a tough task to overhaul Mrs Clinton.
She went into Saturday's votes leading Mr Sanders by 1,223 delegates to 920.
When superdelegates - party officials who can support either candidate - who have so far declared their allegiance are included, Mrs Clinton was ahead by 1,692 to 949 in the race to reach 2,383 delegates.
Bigger battles ahead
Washington was the most significant of the three states voting on Saturday, with 101 delegates up for grabs. There were 16 delegates on offer in Alaska and 25 in Hawaii.
Mr Sanders was projected to have won 72% of the vote in Washington against 27% for Mrs Clinton.
US TV networks gave him about 79% of the vote in Alaska, against 21% for Mrs Clinton. Initial projections from Hawaii also put Mr Sanders above 70%.
Celebrating via Twitter, Mr Sanders said: "Thank you, Alaska! Together we are sendinga message that this government belongs to all of us... Washington, thank you for your huge support! It is hard for anybody to deny that our campaign has the momentum."
Sanders earlier told supporters in Wisconsin: "This is what momentum is about. Don't let anybody tell you we can't winthe nomination or win the general election. We're going to do both of those things."
Sanders had spent the week on the westcoast, rallying support among liberals and the left-wing.

Democratic totals include the delegateswon per state, as well as so-called "unpledged" or "super delegates". Hillary Clinton has a huge lead among the party leaders and elected officials who each get a vote at the convention.
AP conducts surveys of these super delegates, and adds them to a candidate's totals if they indicate their support. But superdelegates can - and do - change their mindsduring the course of the campaign, so the figures may shift as the race unfolds.
The delegate tracker is updated automatically. There may be a short delay between the delegates being assigned and the totals changing.

Adele has a few choice words for mom-shamers!

Specifically, Adele called out those who pressure new mothers to breastfeed their children while performing at London's O2 arena on Tuesday night. During an informal question and answer session with her fans, the 27-year-old singer responded to an inquiry about "breastfeeding mummies" in typically incredible Adele fashion.

"You know what, the pressure on us is f**king ridiculous," she began. "No worse people who put pressure on. You can go f**k yourselves, alright? Because it's hard. Some of us can't do it!"

Adele went on to get personal about her own struggles breastfeeding her son, Angelo (it all starts around the 00:50 mark).

"All I wanted to do was breastfeed my kid and then I felt like, if I was in the jungle right now, back in the day, my kid would be dead because the milk's gone," she continued, drawing chuckles from the crowd. "It's not funny!"

The Grammy winner later went on a hilarious tangent calling Mariah Carey "biblical." Watch the whole thing unfold in the video below.

READ: Adele Says Motherhood Is 'F**king Hard'

While Adele has remained fiercely protective of her family, including her 3-year-old child with partner Simon Konecki, this isn't the first time she's spoken out on the surprising struggles of motherhood.

"It's f**king hard. I thought it would be easy," Adele told i-D magazine in October. "'Everyone f**king does it, how hard can it be?' Ohhhh..."

With what the writer described as a dramatic sigh, Adele continued: "I had no idea. It is hard but it's phenomenal. It's the greatest thing I ever did. He makes me be a d**khead, and he makes me feel young and there's nothing more grounding than a kid kicking off and refusing to do what you're asking of them. It used to be that my own world revolved around me, but now it has to revolve around him."

Around that same time, Adele told NPR that she was traveling with little Angelo as she did press promoting her new album, 25.

"My kid comes everywhere, and he is so grounding," she explained. "I was saying the other day that doing it again with a kid this time, it's making me more tired than normal, but on the other hand, he just brings me back down to earth. So I'm feeling pretty balanced about it, actually, and I have only him to thank for that."

Johannesburg (AFP) - Nigeria ignored a football fundamental -- always play to the whistle -- and it cost them dearly in a 1-1 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying draw with Egypt Friday.
The Super Eagles deserved to be more than one goal ahead at an overcrowded Ahmadu Bello Stadium in northern city Kaduna as the high-profile Group G clash drifted into stoppage time.

Then, a pass from substitute Ramadan Sobhy caught the defence napping and as they stood appealing for offside, Mohamed Salah equalised.

Oghenekaro Etebo, a star when Nigeria won the Africa U-23 Cup of Nations three months ago, had pounced on a rebound off the woodwork to break the stalemate on the hour.

Victor Moses thought he had scored a second six minutes from time after rounding goalkeeper Ahmed Al Shenawy and pushing the ball toward an unguarded goal.

But Hamada Tolba darted back to make a dramatic clearance under pressure just before the ball crossed the goal-line.

Salvaging a lucky point kept record seven-time African champions Egypt two points ahead of three-time winners Nigeria halfway through the six-round qualifying schedule.

Swaziland, one of 16 African countries never to qualify for the Cup of Nations, stayed top of Group L on goals scored despite being held 1-1 at home by second-place Zimbabwe.

The hosts made a dream start as Felix Badenhorst nodded home a cross just 90 seconds after the kick-off at Somhlolo Stadium in Lobamba.

Zimbabwe recovered to dominate the first half, but their equaliser a minute before half-time came gift-wrapped from the Swazis with Njabulo Ndlovu conceding an own goal.

Guinea and Malawi failed to take advantage of the Swaziland stalemate by drawing 0-0 in Conakry, which was hosting the national team for the first time since a 2014 Ebola virus-induced ban was lifted.

Swaziland and Zimbabwe have five points each and Malawi and top seeds Guinea two apiece.

Mauritania joined Cameroon at the top of Group M after snatching a 2-1 victory over Gambia in Nouakchott through a stoppage-time goal from 'Bessam'.

He put the hosts ahead at the Stade Olympique during the opening half and Mustapha Carayol, from English second-tier club Leeds United, levelled on the hour.

Cameroon and Mauritania have six points each and Gambia and South Africa one each with the Bafana Bafana away to the Indomitable Lions Saturday.

Youssef Msakni nodded in just after half-time to give Tunisia a 1-0 win over Togo in Monastir and top place in Group A on goal difference.

Tunisia, Togo and Liberia all have six points while Djibouti have lost their three matches.

The biggest win came in the final match with winger Sofiane Feghouli and Islam Slimani bagging braces as Algeria crushed Ethiopia 7-1 in Blida despite Yacine Brahimi failing to convert a penalty.

Algeria have a maximum nine points in Group J, Ethiopia four, Seychelles one and Lesotho none.

Hillary Clinton would defeat Donald Trump and Ted Cruz in general election match-ups, but would lose to John Kasich, according to a Monmouth University survey released Thursday.

The poll found Clinton would beat Trump by 10 percentage points, 48 to 38 percent, though the race between them would be closer in swing states. The Democratic frontrunner only holds a 5-percentage-point edge in states where the margin of victory in 2012 was less than 7 percentage points.

Clinton would also beat Cruz by 5 percentage points, 45 to 40 percent. Kasich, on the other hand, would defeat Clinton by 6 percentage points, 45 to 39 percent.

A CBS News/New York Times poll released this week also found that Clinton holds a 10-point advantage over Trump in a general election matchup, with a 3-point lead in a head-to-head with Cruz. Kasich, that poll found, would beat her by four points.

More than two-thirds of Ted Cruz supporters said they would vote for Trump in November while 13 percent would vote for Clinton. Among supporters for Kasich, half would be willing to vote for Trump while 19 percent would support Clinton and nearly a quarter would not vote at all.

Among voters who back Bernie Sanders for the Democratic nomination, more than three-quarters said they would vote for Clinton instead of Trump in November, 12 percentage said they would vote for Trump and 7 percent said they would sit out the election.

The poll found 89 percent of Democratic voters support Clinton and nearly three-quarters of GOP voters support Trump for their party nominations.

In a hypothetical three-way race between Clinton, Trump and Libertarian Gary Johnson, Clinton would win with 42 percent of the vote, Trump would get 34 percent and Johnson would receive 11 percent.

A poll released on Wednesday found Kasich and Sanders would perform the best in the general election.

The poll surveyed 1,008 adults, 848 of which were registered voters, between March 17 and 20 with a 3.4 percentage point margin of error.
