Romance7 Things You Must Never Do During Self-pleasure Or Masturbation by Dammielog(op): 8:23pm On May 14, 2015
Masturbation, or self-pleasure, can be your only way out when those Konji-moments hit you hard in the groin and there is no one to calm it for you.

You might be married and away from your lover or single and seriously searching.

Whichever category you belong to, being able to masturbate may be the only option, as opposed to getting paid sex or turning a criminal by get non-consensual sex.

Unless sex becomes an addiction to you, then there is nothing wrong with it.

Research has also shown that those who masturbate enjoy
sex better than those who do not.

Anyway, if you decide to masturbate, there are a few things
you must not attempt:

1. Do not masturbate dry.

The skin of the p*nis is sensitive and rapid rubbing can hurt it and leave you injured. To prevent this, ensure you use some form of
lubricant. You can buy one from the counter or improvise with petroleum jelly (and sometimes soap).

2.Do not masturbate for two ejaculations in a row.

Some guys are known to resume masturbation immediately
they ejaculate, doing it again and again until they begin to hurt. This is harmful. Masturbation should be
a quick-fix, not a regular mean.

3.Do not try to delay ejaculation for too long.

Sometimes, keeping yourself from ejaculation as the masturbation excitement builds up can intensify the orgasm However, extending the delay-time can leave
you with a painful sensation inside the p*nis.

4.Do not try to penetrate anything.

Unless you have a toy vagina or a doll, do not attempt to penetrate an object or improvised vaginas. You could get serious injury.

5.Do not let any substance get into the p*nis.

If you are one of those that use soap to masturbate, be careful
not to let the soap suds slide into the urethra. If it does, rinse with ordinary water quickly. Otherwise,
you’ll experience an extremely painful, burning sensation whenever you try to urinate.

6. Do not masturbate too frequently.

If masturbation becomes an addiction, you are in trouble. One of the likely problems is quick ejaculation and weak erection.

Do not masturbate in a public space.

It is a crime to cause public nuisance by masturbating in public. You can get arrested.
The final and ultimate rule is to always approach masturbation with clean hands.
Dirty hands can leave you with harmful diseases.
Also, clean up after with clean tissue or water, not a random item.

This latest interview with Nigerian Tribune’s Joan Bajojo Omionawele, Ghanaian actor Van Vicker Also talked took his time to address an insult he got from Nollywood actress Genevieve Nnaji,


Who are your best Nigerian actors and actresses?

(Laughs) You are not going to put me on the spot with that. I have enjoyed working with all my colleagues.

There was a time Genevieve said you weren’t a good actor. How did you react to that?

I read the article but I wasn’t bothered about it because that was her opinion, and she is entitled to it. I never responded to it, and I don’t think I will. Nevertheless, I don’t have any ill feelings towards her. Now, whether her opinion has changed or is still the same, it doesn’t make much of a difference to me, because I know I am a fantastic actor and I am doing what I am doing with passion. I am enjoying it and I am making the best I can of it.

Having said that, if I am given a job to do and she is involved, I
would do the job. I won’t say because she said this, I won’t do
the job.

But if you have the urge to confront her, won’t you?
If I meet her at a function or on a movie shoot, I’ll ask her; but I
won’t do it through the media.

Some of these things people
write in the papers or on the blogs are not even true; it’s possible they twisted her words.
They do it to me all the time, so it’s possible they did that to her.

But when I meet her personally, I
will ask her if she did say that. And if she did, the conversation will continue, as to why she said it and how she said it.

WebmastersEasiest Way To Get Your GOOGLE ADSENSE Account Approved Within 9hrs by Dammielog(op): 1:05pm On May 13, 2015
Been a blogger is a sweet thing,
Alot of bloggers as been making It or as been successful on thier blogs with the money they earn from it via a particular Ads network from GOOGLE,which is the most reliable ads platform from the begining..

Let go straight to the point, alot of webmasters that we are not on blogger platform e.g wapka,wp,xtgem etcs have been finding it difficult to get approved by GOODLE ADSENSE, because of this we dont even bother ourselves again about it, meanwhile alot of bloggers are earning dollars daily while we have our own alternative of earning our own money which is the 'Exam runs stuff' but it cant be compared to the Bloggers style of Earning.


How to get approved by GOOGLE ADSENSE WITHIN 9HRS OF Application

Firstly check your website maybe it is a google spam link or adsense spam link by going to www.isbanned.com put ur website name in the box there then check if it is a spam word.. If no you are good to go then


Comply with the terms of service


Whey you apply for an Adsense account, you'll be asked to read over and agree to comply with the terms of service. Violating the Adsense terms of service is a main reason many sites get rejected. In a nutshell, your blog has to be legit, offer unique and non-copyrighted content, and be generally favorable to the majority of the population. The last one there is a bit tricky, but think of it this way - Is your site something that you would feel comfortable showing out in public to people at say the local mall? If not, it probably won't be approved (i.e. think porn sites).

Many of us, yours truly included, often skip over the "fine print". Don't make that mistake here. Read over and understand the terms in detail. While it's certainly bad to get rejected when you apply, getting cancelled once you're earning $1000 or more a month from Adsense due to a TOS violation is far worse.
Can you say Ouch in a big way? One critical item here, you have to have a disclaimer and privacy policy page(or pages) on your blog. Google will look for these, so have them before you apply. Site Quality For the sites I get asked to look at, this is the number one reason. Google works hard to brand their advertising network high in the ranks, and they want their network associated with high quality and professional looking sites. Trust me, they do individually look at your site and looks do matter. Here are just a few things to address before you submit your application: Run a professional and nice looking theme (not scammy or spammy looking) - I'm partial to Thesis myself, but there are many others.

Make sure your blog is easy to navigate and user friendly

Minimize or remove invalid links (no 404s) Have a decent amount of high quality and informative articles written and published. There is no magic number here, but I would say at least 10-20. Include blog images in your posts that complement the content. In sure a good portion of your overall traffic should comes from search engines. As I've mentioned here, most clicks to ads come from search engine visitors. Trust me, Google knows this.

Maintain a good reputation

Meaning your page ranks should be good, not blacklisting and you have links from other high quality sites (preferably running Adsense). Double check your application before submitting This one seems obvious right? Well, I've had a few people that didn't do this and put either the wrong information or what I considered unprofessional information. One even had an invalid URL for their website. The extension was wrong which led the Adsense reviewers to the wrong site - a not so good site. As you navigate through the screens, review the information you've entered 2-3 times and make sure it's accurate. Also be sure that you professionally represent yourself. The basic rule of thumb I use is: treat your blog as a business, because when you earn money it is.

Lastly Make sure your site as 'DISCLAIMER OR PRIVACY POLICY,TERMS AND CONDION...

With that i dont see any fucking reason why adsense shouldn't make you smile to bank every month.......

PoliticsApc Warns Against Announcing Of Fake Poll Results by Dammielog(op): 5:31pm On Mar 29, 2015
The All Progressives Congress has warned against any
attempt to tamper with the results of the elections
that were concluded nationwide on Saturday, saying
Nigerians have voted peacefully and massively and
they know who they have voted for.
In a statement issued in Lagos on Sunday by its
National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed,
the party said it has the authentic results from every
polling unit where voting took place on Saturday, and
will not accept anything contrary to those signed
results.
It decried the dangerous kite now being flown by the
PDP, through some of their paid media channels,
seeking to appropriate unearned victories across the
nation.
”We have always said we will accept the result of any
free, fair and transparent elections. We stand by that
avowal. However, what we will not accept – and
which we are sure Nigerians themselves will reject –
is any move to rewrite the results and thwart the will
of the people under any guise. We will not accept
that.
”We have heard of the desperate moves to cancel
the results in areas where the APC has beaten the
PDP embarrassingly. Nigerians will definitely not
accept that,” APC said.
The party said it is aware of the ongoing efforts to
force Electoral Officers and Presiding Officers in Imo
State, some of whom are being picked up by the
military as we write, to rewrite the results of the
elections in the state.
”We have the results from every polling unit in Imo
State and we know that we have won in over 80 per
cent in the presidential election. So there must be
no shenanigans,” it warned.
APC also said the same attempts are being made in
Sokoto, Enugu, Ekiti, Ondo, Lagos and other states,
wondering why anyone will be seeking to reverse the
results that are already settled.

NEPTUNE FACTS
Neptune is the eighth planet from the Sun and is the
most distant planet from the Sun. This gas giant
planet may have formed much closer to the Sun in
early solar system history before migrating to its
present position.
Planet Profile
Mass: 102,410,000,000,000,000 billion kg (17.15x
Earth)
Equatorial Diameter: 49,528 km
Polar Diameter: 48,682 km
Equatorial Circumference: 155,600 km
Known Moons: 14
Notable Moons: Triton more info
Known Rings: 5
Orbit Distance: 4,498,396,441 km (30.10 AU)
Orbit Period: 60,190.03 Earth days (164.79 Earth
years)
Surface Temperature: -201 °C
Discover Date: September 23rd 1846
Discovered By: Urbain Le Verrier & Johann Galle
Facts About Neptune
Neptune was not known to the ancients:
It is not visible to the naked eye and was first
observed in 1846. Its position was determined using
mathematical predictions. It was named after the
Roman god of the sea.
Neptune spins on its axis very rapidly:
Its equatorial clouds take 18 hours to make one
rotation. This is because Neptune is not solid body.
Neptune is the smallest of the ice giants:
Despite being smaller than Uranus, Neptune has a
greater mass. Below its heavy atmosphere, Uranus is
made of layers of hydrogen, helium, and methane
gases. They enclose a layer of water, ammonia and
methane ice. The inner core of the planet is made of
rock.
The atmosphere of Neptune is made of hydrogen
and helium, with some methane:
The methane absorbs red light, which makes the
planet appear a lovely blue. High, thin clouds drift in
the upper atmosphere.
Neptune has a very active climate:
Large storms whirl through its upper atmosphere,
and high-speed winds track around the planet at up
600 meters per second. One of the largest storms
ever seen was recorded in 1989. It was called the
Great Dark Spot. It lasted about five years.
Neptune has a very thin collection of rings:
They are likely made up of ice particles mixed with
dust grains and possibly coated with a carbon-based
substance.
Neptune has 14 moons:
The most interesting moon is Triton, a frozen world
that is spewing nitrogen ice and dust particles out
from below its surface. It was likely captured by the
gravitational pull of Neptune. It is probably the
coldest world in the solar system.
Only one spacecraft has flown by Neptune:
In 1989, the Voyager 2 spacecraft swept past the
planet. It returned the first close-up images of the
Neptune system. The NASA/ESA Hubble Space
Telescope has also studied this planet, as have a
number of ground-based telescopes.

JUPITER FACTS
The planet Jupiter is the fifth planet out from the
Sun, and is two and a half times more massive than
all the other planets in the solar system combined. It
is made primarily of gases and is therefore known as
a “gas giant”.
Jupiter Planet Profile
Mass: 1,898,130,000,000,000,000 billion kg (317.83
x Earth)
Equatorial Diameter: 142,984 km

First Record: 7th or 8th century BC
Recorded By: Babylonian astronomers
Size Of Jupiter Compared To The Earth
Facts About Jupiter
Jupiter is the fourth brightest object in the solar
system:
Only the Sun, Moon and Venus are brighter. It is one
of five planets visible to the naked eye from Earth.
The ancient Babylonians were the first to record
their sightings of Jupiter:
This was around the 7th or 8th century BC. Jupiter is
named after the king of the Roman gods. To the
Greeks, it represented Zeus, the god of thunder. The
Mesopotamians saw Jupiter as the god Marduk and
patron of the city of Babylon. Germanic tribes saw
this planet as Donar, or Thor.
Jupiter has the shortest day of all the planets:
It turns on its axis once every 9 hours and 55
minutes. The rapid rotation flattens the planet
slightly, giving it an oblate shape.
Jupiter orbits the Sun once every 11.8 Earth
years:
From our point of view on Earth, it appears to move
slowly in the sky, taking months to move from one
constellation to another.
Jupiter has unique cloud features:
The upper atmosphere of Jupiter is divided into
cloud belts and zones. They are made primarily of
ammonia crystals, sulfur, and mixtures of the two
compounds.
The Great Red Spot is a huge storm on Jupiter:
It has raged for at least 350 years. It is so large that
three Earths could fit inside it.
Jupiter’s interior is made of rock, metal, and
hydrogen compounds:
Below Jupiter’s massive atmosphere (which is made
primarily of hydrogen), there are layers of
compressed hydrogen gas, liquid metallic hydrogen,
and a core of ice, rock, and metals.
Jupiter’s moon Ganymede is the largest moon in
the solar system:
Jupiter’s moons are sometimes called the Jovian
satellites, the largest of these are Ganymeade,
Callisto Io and Europa. Ganymeade measures 5,268
km across, making it larger than the planet Mercury.
Jupiter has a thin ring system:
Its rings are composed mainly of dust particles
ejected from some of Jupiter’s smaller worlds during
impacts from incoming comets and asteroids. The
ring system begins some 92,000 kilometres above
Jupiter’s cloud tops and stretches out to more than
225,000 km from the planet. They are between
2,000 to 12,500 kilometres thick.
Eight spacecraft have visited Jupiter:
Pioneer 10 and 11, Voyager 1 and 2, Galileo, Cassini,
Ulysses, and New Horizons missions. The Juno
mission is its way to Jupiter and will arrive in July
2016. Other future missions may focus on the Jovian
moons Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto, and their
subsurface oceans.

MARS FACTS
Mars Mosiac – astrogeology.usgs.gov
Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun. Named after
the Roman god of war, and often described as the
“Red Planet” due to its reddish appearance. Mars is a
terrestrial planet with a thin atmosphere composed
primarily of carbon dioxide.

Mars Image Gallery
Facts About Mars
Mars and Earth have approximately the same
landmass:
Even though Mars has only 15% of the Earth’s volume
and just over 10% of the Earth’s mass, around two
thirds of the Earth’s surface is covered in water.
Martian surface gravity is only 37% of the Earth’s
(meaning you could leap nearly three times higher
on Mars).
Mars is home to the tallest mountain in the solar
system.
Olympus Mons, a shield volcano, is 21km high and
600km in diameter. Despite having formed over
billions of years, evidence from volcanic lava flows is
so recent many scientists believe it could still be
active.
Only 18 missions to Mars have been successful
As of September 2014 there have been 40 missions
to Mars, including orbiters, landers and rovers but
not counting flybys. The most recent arrivals include
the Mars Curiosity mission in 2012, the MAVEN
mission, which arrived on September 22, 2014,
followed by the Indian Space Research Organization’s
MOM Mangalyaan orbiter, which arrived on
September 24, 2014. The next missions to arrive will
be the European Space Agency’s ExoMars mission,
comprising an orbiter, lander, and a rover, followed
by NASA’s InSight robotic lander mission, slated for
launch in March 2016 and a planned arrival in
September, 2016.”
Mars has the largest dust storms in the solar
system:
They can last for months and cover the entire planet.
The seasons are extreme because its elliptical (oval-
shaped) orbital path around the Sun is more
elongated than most other planets in the solar
system.
On Mars the Sun appears about half the size as it
does on Earth:
At the closest point to the Sun, the Martian southern
hemisphere leans towards the Sun, causing a short,
intensely hot summer, while the northern
hemisphere endures a brief, cold winter: at its
farthest point from the Sun, the Martian northern
hemisphere leans towards the Sun, causing a long,
mild summer, while the southern hemisphere
endures a lengthy, cold winter.
Pieces of Mars have fallen to Earth:
Scientists have found tiny traces of Martian
atmosphere within meteorites violently ejected from
Mars, then orbiting the solar system amongst galactic
debris for millions of years, before crash landing on
Earth. This allowed scientists to begin studying Mars
prior to launching space missions.
Mars takes its name from the Roman god of war:
The ancient Greeks called the planet Ares, after their
god of war; the Romans then did likewise, associating
the planet’s blood-red colour with Mars, their own
god of war. Interestingly, other ancient cultures also
focused on colour – to China’s astronomers it was ‘the
fire star’, whilst Egyptian priests called on ‘Her
Desher’, or ‘the red one’. The red colour Mars is
known for is due to the rock and dust covering its
surface being rich in iron.

Size Of The Earth Compared To The Moon
Facts About The Earth
The Earth’s rotation is gradually slowing:
This deceleration is happening almost imperceptibly,
at approximately 17 milliseconds per hundred years,
although the rate at which it occurs is not perfectly
uniform. This has the effect of lengthening our days,
but it happens so slowly that it could be as much as
140 million years before the length of a day will have
increased to 25 hours.
The Earth was once believed to be the centre of
the universe:
Due to the apparent movements of the Sun and
planets in relation to their viewpoint, ancient
scientists insisted that the Earth remained static,
whilst other celestial bodies travelled in circular
orbits around it. Eventually, the view that the Sun was
at the centre of the universe was postulated by
Copernicus, though this is also not the case.
Earth has a powerful magnetic field:
This phenomenon is caused by the nickel-iron core of
the planet, coupled with its rapid rotation. This field
protects the Earth from the effects of solar wind.
There is only one natural satellite of the planet
Earth:
As a percentage of the size of the body it orbits, the
Moon is the largest satellite of any planet in our solar
system. In real terms, however, it is only the fifth
largest natural satellite.
Earth is the only planet not named after a god:
The other seven planets in our solar system are all
named after Roman gods or goddesses. Although
only Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn were
named during ancient times, because they were
visible to the naked eye, the Roman method of
naming planets was retained after the discovery of
Uranus and Neptune.
Of all the planets in our solar system, the Earth
has the greatest density:
This varies according to the part of the planet; for
example, the metallic core is denser than the crust.
The average density of the Earth is approximately
5.52 grams per cubic centimetre.

VENUS FACTS
Venus is the second planet from the Sun and is the
second brightest object in the night sky after the
Moon. Named after the Roman goddess of love and
beauty, Venus is the second largest terrestrial planet
and is sometimes referred to as the Earth’s sister
planet due the their similar size and mass. The
surface of the planet is obscured by an opaque layer
of clouds made up of sulfuric acid.

Size Of Venus Compared To The Earth
Facts About Venus
A day on Venus lasts longer than a year:
It takes 243 Earth days to rotate once on its axis. The
planet’s orbit around the Sun takes 225 Earth days,
compared to the Earth’s 365.
Venus is often called the Earth’s sister planet:
The Earth and Venus are very similar in size with only
a 638 km difference in diameter, Venus having
81.5% of the Earth’s mass. Both also have a central
core, a molten mantle and a crust.
Venus rotates counter-clockwise:
Also known as retrograde rotation. A possible reason
might be a collision in the past with an asteroid or
other object that caused the planet to alter its
rotational path. It also differs from most other
planets in our solar system by having no natural
satellites.
Venus is the second brightest object in the night
sky:
Only the Moon is brighter. With a magnitude of
between -3.8 to -4.6 Venus is so bright it can be seen
during daytime on a clear day.
Atmospheric pressure on Venus is 92 times
greater than the Earth’s:
While its size and mass are similar to Earth, the small
asteroids are crushed when entering its atmosphere,
meaning no small craters lie on the surface of the
planet. The pressure felt by a human on the surface
would be equivalent to that experienced deep
beneath the sea on Earth.
Venus is also known as the Morning Star and the
Evening Star:
Early civilisations thought Venus was two different
bodies, called Phosphorus and Hesperus by the
Greeks, and Lucifer and Vesper by the Romans. This
is because when its orbit around the Sun overtakes
Earth’s orbit, it changes from being visible after
sunset to being visible before sunrise. Mayan
astronomers made detailed observations of Venus as
early as 650 AD.
Venus is the hottest planet in our solar system:
The average surface temperature is 462 °C, and
because Venus does not tilt on its axis, there is no
seasonal variation. The dense atmosphere of around
96.5 percent carbon dioxide traps heat and causes a
greenhouse effect.
A detailed study of Venus is currently underway:
In 2006, the Venus Express space shuttle was sent
into orbit around Venus by the European Space
Agency, and is sending back information about the
planet. Originally planned to last five hundred Earth
days, the mission has been extended several times.
More than 1,000 volcanoes or volcanic centres larger
than 20 km have been found on the surface of Venus.
The Russians sent the first mission to Venus:
The Venera 1 space probe was launched in 1961, but
lost contact with base. The USA also lost their first
probe to Venus, Mariner 1, although Mariner 2 was
able to take measurements of the planet in 1962.
The Soviet Union’s Venera 3 was the first man-made
craft to land on Venus in 1966.
At one point it was thought Venus might be a
tropical paradise:
The dense clouds of sulphuric acid surrounding Venus
make it impossible to view its surface from outside
its atmosphere. It was only when radio mapping was
developed in the 1960s that scientists were able to
observe and measure the extreme temperatures and
hostile environment. It is thought Venus did once
have oceans but these evaporated as the planets
temperature increased.

MERCURY FACTS
Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun and due to
its proximity it is not easily seen except during
twilight. For every two orbits of the Sun, Mercury
completes three rotations about its axis and up until
1965 it was thought that the same side of Mercury
constantly faced the Sun. Thirteen times a century
Mercury can be observed from the Earth passing
across the face of the Sun in an event called a transit,
the next will occur on the 9th May 2016.

Size Of Mercury Compared To The Earth
Facts About Mercury
A year in Mercury is just 88 days long:
One day on Mercury lasts the equivalent of 176 Earth
days. Mercury is nearly tidally locked to the Sun and
over time this has slowed the rotation of the planet
to almost match its orbit around the Sun. Mercury
also has the highest orbital eccentricity of all the
planets with its distance from the Sun ranging from
46 to 70 million km
Mercury is the smallest planet in the Solar
System:
One of five planets visible with the naked eye a,
Mercury is just 4,879 Kilometres across its equator,
compared with 12,742 Kilometres for the Earth.
Mercury is the second densest planet:
Even though the planet is small, Mercury is very
dense. Each cubic centimetre has a density of 5.4
grams, with only the Earth having a higher density.
This is largely due to Mercury being composed
mainly of heavy metals and rock.
Mercury has wrinkles:
As the iron core of the planet cooled and contracted,
the surface of the planet became wrinkled. Scientist
have named these wrinkles, Lobate Scarps. These
Scarps can be up to a mile high and hundreds of
miles long.
Mercury has a molten core:
In recent years scientists from NASA have come to
believe the solid iron core of Mercury could in fact
be molten. Normally the core of smaller planets
cools rapidly, but after extensive research, the
results were not in line with those expected from a
solid core. Scientists now believe the core to contain
a lighter element such as sulphur, which would lower
the melting temperature of the core material. It is
estimated Mercury’s core makes up 42% of its
volume, while the Earth’s core makes up 17%.
Mercury is only the second hottest planet:
Despite being further from the Sun, Venus
experiences higher temperatures. The surface of
Mercury which faces the Sun sees temperatures of up
to 427°C, whilst on the alternate side this can be as
low as -173°C. This is due to the planet having no
atmosphere to help regulate the temperature.
Mercury is the most cratered planet in the Solar
System:
Unlike many other planets which “self-heal” through
natural geological processes, the surface of Mercury
is covered in craters. These are caused by numerous
encounters with asteroids and comets. Most
Mercurian craters are named after famous writers
and artists. Any crater larger than 250 kilometres in
diameter is referred to as a Basin. The Caloris Basin
is the largest impact crater on Mercury covering
approximately 1,550 km in diameter and was
discovered in 1974 by the Mariner 10 probe.
Only two spacecraft have ever visited Mercury:
Owing to its proximity to the Sun, Mercury is a
difficult planet to visit. During 1974 and 1975
Mariner 10 flew by Mercury three times, during this
time they mapped just under half of the planet’s
surface. On August 3rd 2004, the Messenger probe
was launched from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station,
this was the first spacecraft to visit since the mid
1970’s.
Mercury is named for the Roman messenger to
the gods:
The exact date of Mercury’s discovery is unknown as
it pre-dates its first historical mention, one of the
first mentions being by the Sumerians around in
3,000 BC.
Mercury has an atmosphere (sort of):
Mercury has just 38% the gravity of Earth, this is too
little to hold on to what atmosphere it has which is
blown away by solar winds. However while gases
escape into space they are constantly being
replenished at the same time by the same solar
winds, radioactive decay and dust caused by
micrometeorites
