Dante's POV

Oh gosh, what was I thinking? Having sex with no condom? This is bad! Real bad! I hope she's not having any sexually transmitted infections or worst, HIV. Damn damn damn, she might even get pregnant, and lord knows I ain't ready to be a baby daddy. How do I handle this?

I sometimes regret the decision my dick makes for me to be honest. Starring at Ngozi, I could see the confusion going through her as well. We got carried away with the moment. Smiling at her, I leaned towards her and gave her a kiss. Made some small talk while we dressed and practically ran out of the beach.

It got pretty dark fast at the beach, one moment its bright and in less than 5 minutes its already dark. As we got to the car, I opened her door, got her settled and skipped towards mine. After pulling out of the car park, I broke the ice.

Hey Ngozi, you know we just had sex without condom right? She nodded, looking sad. Well, I smiled and played with her hands for a while while concentrating on the road. I knew what I was looking for. After getting to obalende, I stopped at a pharmacy, parked and looked right into her eyes.

Ngozi, we are both educated, I can't take any risk. Will you kindly please take a morning after pill? Ngozi nodded eagerly. Great! I gave her some money and waited for her in the car.

After a while she came back with Prostinol-2. I smiled involuntarily, she smiled as well, then we kissed. I also went to the pharmacy store and made sure I bought 3 different colors of Durex Condoms. Brown, green and red... I'm a sucker for sexual pleasure.

I dropped her off at her place and drove straight to mine, fell on my bed and had a really awesome sleep.

The next day, i got a text from Shola. "Dude! Can you meet me at Ajah? Lets hang out."

I’m I dreaming or I’m I really kissing Dante? Wow, after all these years. He finally treats me like a lady. I’m impressed. And he can really kiss sha. Gosh, when has a Naija guy kissed me so deep like this before. Omg, I wish this moment could last for a longer time.

When the call from Dante came, I was really feeling down, my relationship with my boyfriend was just boring. He even proposed some months back and I automatically said yes. Dotun loves me in his own way, but I wasn’t sure of my emotions towards him. Dotun is really boring, 5 months relationship with no sex, just cuddles and shit. I loved the moments, though, but this is something else. This is biological, this was chemistry.

Back to reality, the kissing got me so wet I could not think properly. I didn’t know when I started asking Dante if we could do it right there. I was afraid he would say no. I gasped as I felt his hand grabbing my ass and making me feel his dick the more. Gosh, he had a monster erection. Our kiss deepened in passion and urgency. The beach was getting dark and we were pretty isolated from everyone.

Dante laid down with his back on the beach sand, he pulled me down towards him and started kissing me all over. Gawd, I wanted to faint. My pussy was pulsating; I could literally feel my juice trickling down my legs. I wanted to Bleep his brains out right there.


My hands went on full automatic, I zipped him down and brought out his dick, it was pointing straight at me, I could feel his energy ripping through the veins. Putting it in my mouth, I sucked his dick like I was in a hurry for him to cum in my mouth, I wanted to taste him, wanted to feel his cum sliding down my throat. I know he wants me so bad as well cos he grabbed me in 69 position, with my pussy directly on his face. I couldn’t breathe, I became suddenly afraid. Bleep, I knew my pussy had a bad odour so I smartly adjusted and made him aware I wasn’t cool with him giving me head. He was going to be the only one having head tonight.

After a while, he grabbed my hair and pulled me up. He gave me a kiss and made me sit on his dick, I gave a small groan…hmmm, the dick was good I swear! I moved up and down slowly again, teasing him, feeling the entire length of his dick slowly feeling and tearing me up each time. I was seeing stars… he held my left breast, twisted my stone hard nipples and guided my waist down again. I simply came right there, he felt me cum and made me change positions. He made go on all fours, heads down with my ass facing him. He slowly inserted his dick in me and started moving slowly, making me crazy. After making sure my pussy has adjusted to his dick he started pounding me, pounding me really hard. God, I felt pain mixed with pleasure at the same time. It felt like I was been disvirgined again. I cried in pain and joy.

I could feel his dick fully now, I was speechless as he pounded my pussy with intensity from the back. God bless the inventor of doggy style. I could hear him calling my name as he pounded my pussy without mercy. I felt loved, he kept it up for a while before the shot a full load of cum inside me.

Awwwww, damn! We didn’t plan this completely. As Dante rolled off me, breathing hard with me, I heard him say Bleep. That was Dante, always blunt with his emotions. I could see it in his eyes that he also recognized the mistake. We weren’t putting on condoms! It seems we both didn’t plan for this to happen.

What is your opinion about this part? I hope I didn’t keep you wanting.

Now that this has happened, how do you think this will affect their relationship?

So far so good, Dante is beginning to feel like he has a purpose again.

Will his new relationship with Ngozi going to last or it’s just a fling?

Remilekun101:
Nice one dante......
Lemme follow

Thank you.

The trips to Lekki beach became pretty regular, it was becoming a weekend ritual. All i had to do was to get the keys to the car, a Honda civic and move out. After a few weeks in Ikoyi, I called Ngozi, my long time pal.

We met during my internship with one of the hospitals in Ikoyi. I was in 300L then, we had this 9 month internship holiday and that was when our path crossed.

Flash back
Ngozi was not a beautiful lady to be honest, but she had this subtle beauty attached to her. She had a really nice looking ass and hip, a moderate set of breast and gentle smile.

I remember getting a rock solid erection the very time i saw her. This became a coded joke between us as we later became close. I quickly gave her a smile and said hello.

Me: How are you doing? I’m Dante, you are?

Ngozi: Ngozi, Nice to meet you Dante. Your name is rather unique, what’s the story?

I liked her curiosity immediately.

Me: Have you read about Dante Alighieri? The monk who fell out with the Roman Catholic Church after feeling betrayed by the church.

Ngozi: #Smiling, you must be a really crazy dude....we laughed.

Me: Do you stay around? I asked, hoping for a yes. She didn’t disappoint, she lived pretty close to the hospital. Great!

Me: Great, nice to meet you Ngozi, see you later...

During the closing period, here she was again, with that smile, heading towards me and that was how our friendship began.

We spent lots of time together, i was a shoulder she could lean on and she was a listening ear when i felt the need to talk about random things i felt exciting.
Back to the present.

I took my Samsung galaxy s3 and dialled Ngozi’s number.

Ngozi: Hello

Me: Hi Ngozi, this is Dante. How are you?

Ngozi: Dante? I know only one Dante, is that you?

Me: Yeah!

Ngozi:  Wow!!! Wazzzzzzup! How are you dear? When did you come?

Me: A couple of weeks, how have you been?

Ngozi: Not bad, just chilling, where are you at?

Me: I’m home. You?

Ngozi: Home, chilling.

Me: Let’s meet up dear, i’ve missed you

Ngozi: Missed you too dear. Where do you want us to meet?

Me: I will come over

Ngozi: See you soon dear

Me: Ok

I pulled over at her place 20minutes later. My dick apparently remembered her, although we didn’t have sex the last time we met, but it was pretty obvious it was just a matter of time. I was rock solid again just like the last time. This time around, her figure had improved. Her waist has a nice shape to boot with eatable ass. Her breast to ass ratio was just perfect, i felt like fucking her right there by the roadside. She was sexy as Bleep!

I took her to my favourite spot at that time, yes, Lekki beach. We had fun, talked about the old time, talked about the ocean and about everything. We really enjoyed each other’s company. We had a couple of drinks and walked by the water side, hand in hand. We walked to the edge of the commercial area of the beach, i took her into my arms and held her close. I know she would have felt the bulge in my jean, she just smile.

Looking into her eyes, i told her she was really beautiful, she blushed hard, she smiled. She said i wasn’t looking bad myself. We were flirting and we were not shy about it either. I caressed her face, leaned into her space and kissed her lightly on the lips, then pulled back. She wasn’t surprised, she looked like she expected it, so i leaned and gave her a deeper kiss, this time she responded with passion. She grabbed my waist and kissed me so hard like she had bottled up emotions screaming to get out.

She pressed her body closed to mine and deepened the kiss, we were literally tongue fucking ourselves right there. I grabbed her ass, omg, they were soft and sweet to hold. Her hips were grinding on my dick, my jean was threatening to bore a hole through to get to her.

ELTON123:
are you a victim

mehn.. This arabinrin is breastless

As the plane touched down, all I could think of was how my new life in Nigeria was going to be. One thing was for sure, the heavy smoking was going to be drastically reduced, gonna get my shit together and try my best to become a better person.

I knew its not going to be easy but thinking of the final result made me believe it was worth it.

The flight attendant gave me a smile and welcomed me back home as well. Maybe it was the guitar I had with me that made her think I was into music like 2Face or Ice Prince. Anyway, I shrugged and got mentally ready for the sights and fake smiles I was bound to receive.

The pilot's voice came on with the usual 'Fasten your seat belt crap' which I bluntly refused to listen to. Well, welcome home finally.

From the airport to the house (Not a home) My final plans was getting a little upgraded. The reality of my decision finally set in. Well, life goes on. First person I called was Ola.

Ola and I went way back, back then in my university days. He studied Pol science while I was in biochemistry. Ola was someone I felt was in the right path, someone I felt I needed to get acquainted with in other to quickly get started with life.

Me: Heeeey! Ola, guess who is speaking

Ola: Guy, how far? Abeg na who be this?

Me: It's me nau, your boy.... Dante

Ola: Na lieeeeeee! Bruh! How far? When you land?

Me: (Wanting to get to the point)  about a week ago. See Ola, we need to meet up. I need your help getting started. My Youth Service is coming up and I really have no clue on what to do.

Ola: Calm down, just be yourself, dem no go chop you nau. Badt guy, welcome home. How mumsy and every....

Me: They are cool, and yours?

Ola: Anyway, whats up?

Me: I dey. Anyway, will buzz you later. Thanks for the kind word. Really do appreciate.

Ola: Anytime bruh, anytime.

I ended the call, not having any feelings at all. We Nigerians love to greet too much. I grabbed my clothes and headed to the streets, bought some weed (SK)  and left for lekki beach.

That's how my love for the beach started. The beach, the only place I could chill, have my smoke in peace and serenity while making my plans.

From then on, the beach became my favorite thing. Going there alone made me feel free, free from the madness I called home.

Teempakguy:
Why are her boobs so small?

Lmao, that's a picture of a model. You too like big boost sef

Jollyjoy:
Op now this is real bull-shit. What are you driving at? I pray make i click that link o.

Please keep your comments coming, I hope this story will make a change in someone's life.

Treating Nigeria Right

Intro

Sitting at Wale's place, thinking about nothing and everything.

Lola's dad's death made me numb, got me thinking about how best to comfort her. Been kilometers away from her made it difficult.

I missed her terribly, and that was the plain truth, I haven't met someone else to replace her, that's mostly due to my emotional state of mind at the moment.

An sms and a call later still didn't make feel I've done enough to play the part of the on and off boyfriend I was.

As the music of Neyo's Over My Head played, I took a drag on my joint. The effect of the weed was a welcomed feeling. My mind had to chill and sort itself out one way or the other. Otherwise, it feels I might just lose it.

RIP to Lola's dad, that came from the heart. All my thoughts was centered on her.

“How do I know if I’m in the right relationship or not?”



1. No games are being played.

Far too often, we make our relationships harder than they have to be. The difficulties started when… conversations became texting, feelings became subliminal, sex became a game, the word “love” fell out of context, trust faded as honesty waned, insecurities became a way of living, jealously became a habit, being hurt started to feel natural, and running away from it all became our solution.

Stop running! Face these issues, fix the problems, communicate, appreciate, forgive and LOVE the people in your life who deserve it.

And of course, if you feel like someone is playing games with you, speak up.

2. Everyone is on the same page.

If a woman starts out all casual with a man and she doesn’t tell him that she wants a committed relationship, it will likely never become a committed relationship. If you give someone the impression that casual, or whatever, is okay with you, that’s what will be assumed going forward. The bottom line is that you have to be straight from the start, or at least as soon as you know what you want. Don’t beat around the bush. If someone gets scared and runs away because you were honest and set boundaries, that person wasn’t right for you anyway.

3. The line of communication is open, honest, and clear.

You can’t be afraid to have certain conversations. It’s better to talk and find out the truth, than to keep going and get nowhere. Say what you mean and mean what you say. Don’t expect the important people in your life to read your mind, and don’t play foolish games with their heads and hearts. Don’t tell half-truths and expect them to trust you when the full truth comes out – half-truths are no better than lies.

Listen without defending and speak without offending. Communication isn’t just an important part of a relationship, it is the relationship. Relationships often fail because of trust issues, commitment issues, and above all, communication issues. So be honest, commit, and COMMUNICATE always.

4. Loving deeds consistently reinforce loving words.

Nurture your important relationships so that when you tell the people you love that you love them, it’s merely a ritualistic validation of what you have already shown them by how you treat them on a daily basis. Do little things every day to show your loved ones you care. Knowing that the person you’re thinking of has you on their mind too means a lot.

Truth be told, you can say “sorry” a thousand times, or say “I love you” as much as you want, but if you’re not going to prove that the things you say are true, they aren’t. If you can’t show it, your words are not sincere. It’s as simple as that. And there’s no such thing as a “right” relationship that isn’t sincere at both ends.

5. Expectations of perfection are strictly forbidden.

Any relationship that’s real will not be perfect, but if you’re willing to work at it and open up, it could be everything you’ve ever dreamed of.

Your best friends and your soul mate may be far from perfect, but they are a perfect fit for you. Give them a chance to show you.

When you stop expecting the people you love to be a certain way, you can start to enjoy and appreciate them for who they are. What you need to remember is that every relationship has its problems, but what makes it perfect in the end is when you wouldn’t want to be anywhere else, even when times are tough.

6. Honesty, vulnerability, and presence are held sacred.

Although it may sound risky, the strongest type of love is the love that makes you the most vulnerable. It’s about daring to reveal yourself honestly, and daring to be open and fully disclosed over the long-term. It’s about sticking by each other’s side through thick and thin, and truly being there in the flesh and spirit when you’re needed most.

So open yourself up. BE with the person you love. Allow yourself to experience them authentically. Tear down any emotional brick walls you have built around yourself and feel every exquisite emotion, both good and bad. This is real life. This is how you welcome a sincere connection with another human being.

7. There is a healthy blend of freedom and teamwork.

Keep in mind that we can’t force anyone to be with us or love us. We shouldn’t beg someone to stay when they want to leave. And likewise, we should never feel trapped in a relationship. In fact, if either person feels trapped, the relationship doesn’t really exist. Because that’s what relationships are all about: freedom.

Relationships are also built on a solid foundation of teamwork. And since relationships are one of the greatest vehicles of personal growth and happiness, the most important trip you will ever take in life is meeting someone else halfway. You will achieve far more by working with them, rather than working alone or against them. It really is a full circle. The strength of a relationship depends on the strength of its two members, and the strength of each member in the long run depends on the quality of the relationship.

And remember, relationships are rarely 50/50 at any given instant in time. You can’t always feel 100%, or a full 50% of a relationship’s whole – life is simply too unpredictable for that. So on the days when you can only give 20%, the other person must give 80%, and vice versa. It’s never been about balancing steady in the middle; healthy relationships are about two people who are willing to make adjustments for each other in real time as needed, and give more when the other person can’t help but give a little less.

8. Personal growth is embraced, celebrated, and shared.

It’s not about finding someone to lose yourself in, it’s about meeting someone to find yourself in. When you connect with someone special, a best friend or a lifelong partner, this person helps you find the best in yourself. In this way, neither of you actually meet the best in each other; you both grow into your best selves by spending time together and nurturing each other’s growth.

When you honestly think about what you and your closest confidants add to each other’s lives, you will often find that instead of giving or taking things from each other (advice, answers, material gifts, etc.), you have chosen rather to share in each other’s joy and pain, and experience life together through good times and bad. No matter what, you two are there for one another, growing and learning as one.

9. Outsiders aren’t calling the shots.

Relationships don’t always make sense, especially from the outside. So don’t let outsiders run your relationships for you. If you’re having a relationship issue with someone, work it out with THEM and no one else.

You have to live your own life your own way; that’s all there is to it. Each of us has a unique fire in our heart for certain people. It’s your duty, and yours alone, to decide if a relationship is right for you. You’ve got to stop caring so much about what everyone else wants for you, and start actually living and deciding for yourself.

The floor is yours…

The allegation by Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State that former Minister of Finance Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala spent $1 billion out of the Excess Crude Account to fund the re-election bid of former President Jonathan is the kind of ludicrously false statement that has unfortunately become a trademark of the Governor in his public campaign of falsehood against Dr Okonjo-Iweala.

The statement is just another example of the numerical diarrhea that seems to have afflicted His Excellency in recent times in his effort to damage the reputation of the former Minister.

He has, within the last few months, asked Dr Okonjo-Iweala to explain all kinds of totally wild and unsubstantiated figures, ranging from $30 billion, $20 billion, $2.1 billion, N720 billion and now $1 billion.

To say the obvious, the accusations are totally lacking in credibility.

Governor Oshiomhole’s published comments also contain other falsehoods. For instance, he quoted Dr Okonjo-Iweala as saying that she and the Finance Commissioners of the 36 states approved the spending of $2.1 billion out of the Excess Crude Account, adding that the Commissioners had disowned the statement. This is also a complete distortion.

Dr Okonjo-Iweala never said the Federation Accounts Allocation Committee (FAAC) approved spending out of the ECA. Rather as the Commissioners themselves stated, the former Minister of State Finance informed them that former President Jonathan approved the expenditure to end the debilitating fuel queues across the country.

As Nigerians know, the Finance Ministry under Okonjo-Iweala regularly published details of revenue allocations from the ECA in national media. So Oshiomhole’s tortured “calculations” based on his “four figure tables” are mere political numbers conjured to achieve a political purpose. Nigerians can see through the elaborate antics.

Governor Oshiomhole’s latest statement, like earlier ones, labours to give the impression that the entire FAAC process which involves the Federal Government and the 36 states of the Federation is a personal monopoly of Dr Okonjo-Iweala.

This is, of course not true. FAAC is a long standing national platform for allocating revenues chaired by the Minister of State Finance. The governor’s insistence on pushing this clearly fictional narrative underscores his desperation.

It is instructive that Governor Oshiomhole is a key member of the committee set up by the National Economic Council to investigate the ECA spending. His continuing attacks against Dr Okonjo-Iweala seem to suggest that he has lost confidence in this platform which he deployed to make some of his initial false and baseless allegations. The Governor does not seem to appreciate that he is undermining the very credibility of the committee.

Once again, we ask: why are Oshiomhole and his cohorts so ready to sacrifice truth, precedent and decency in this political witch hunt against Dr Okonjo-Iweala?

We are confident that they will fail because truth will triumph.

Chadian police said they will ramp up the enforcement of last month's ban on head-to-toe hijabs after a suicide bomber dressed as a woman killed 15 people at a market in the capital N'Djamena.

The bomber believed to be a Boko Haram fighter detonated his explosives belt after being stopped for a security check at the entrance to the market. Nine of the victims of the blast were women traders. It also injured some 80 people and provoked panic in the city.

"This attack just confirms that a ban on the full-face veil was justified," national police spokesman Paul Manga said as cited by AFP. He added that "it now must be respected more than ever by the entire population".

Chad, a leading partner in a regional coalition fighting against the Boko Haram insurgency, suffered its first serious blow from the terrorists on June 15, when two coordinated bombings rocked N'Djamena, killing 33 people and injuring over 100.

Among the security measures announced in response, the country banned the hijab covering the face, saying it may disguise terrorists. The ban will now be enforced more rigorously, with anyone wearing a veil subjected to arrest on sight, Manga warned on Sunday.

The June ban came as Muslims, who comprise roughly 53 percent of the population, were celebrating the holy month of Ramadan and was a shock to some of them.

"It isn't people in burqas who commit attacks and this dress has become customary for many Chadians," Hassan Barka, a mechanic, told AFP at the time. "It is difficult to implement this decision. Maybe time is needed to spread awareness."

The influential Superior Council of Islamic Affairs criticized the decision, saying it goes against the principles of Islam.

The outcry however was mild, as Chad's Muslims are predominantly moderate Sufis and see face-covering burqas and niqabs as cultural rather than religious clothing.

Some doubted the efficiency of the ban in the long run.

"Purely and simply banning an association is no solution," said the secretary general of King Faisal University in N'Djamena, Abakar Walar Modou. "You can't halt an ideology that way, it causes frustration."

Boko Haram is a radical Islamist movement that has plagued Nigeria since 2009. The violence has claimed at least 15,000 lives, as the militants have raided villages and towns and sent suicide bombers to Christian churches and other public sites.

Nigeria's neighbors Niger, Chad, Cameroon and Benin as well as France are taking part in a joint effort to eradicate Boko Haram.

I often wonder if there's any research on this topic in Nigeria

Scientists have finally answered the million-dollar question: why men on average don’t live as long as women. According to a new study, men appear more vulnerable to heart disease than the inaptly-named ‘weaker sex’. As a result, they succumb earlier.


When they retired a decade ago, Gomez and his wife had imagined spending their 3,600 euros in joint pension payments only on restaurants, holidays and toys for the grandkids.

Today, their retirement money also helps support five families. The Spanish couple, like other relatively prosperous pensioners across southern Europe, are providing an informal safety net which has helped many in the younger generation to avoid widespread poverty despite record-high unemployment.

High blood pressure, high cholesterol and smoking are key risk factors for heart disease. Contrary to popular belief, however, smoking accounted for only 30 percent of the difference in mortality between men and women after 1890, the USC study said.

According to the researchers, the unequal impact of heart-related deaths on men cut off in their prime (especially during middle and early older age) raises the question whether men and women have, in fact, been facing different inherent heart disease risks at different points in their lives.

“Further study could include analysis of diet and exercise activity differences between countries, deeper examination of genetics and biological vulnerability between sexes at the cell level, and the relationship of these findings to brain health at later ages,” William F. Kieschnick, a professor in the Neurobiology of Aging, said.

According to researchers, significant differences in life expectancies between the sexes first emerged at the turn of the 20th Century. It appeared death rates plunged after infectious disease prevention and better diets were taken up by those born during the 1800s and early 1900s.

The study found that women began “reaping the longevity benefits” at a much faster rate, researchers said.

With the current world bank system having been established a while ago, time has come for new financial institutions to be developed globally, South Africa’s President Zuma told RT. BRICS and its New Development Bank is one of such alternatives, he said.

“We’ve had these old banks that have been established many years back. The world has moved, it has developed. For a number of years we’ve been calling for the transformation of financial institutions, globally,” President Jacob Zuma said in an interview with RT’s Sophie Shevarnadze.

“An important development of representativity” is crucial for the new kind of banks, Zuma added, saying that in such institutions you need to be part of them to be involved in decision-making process.

“We now have bank that is an alternative,” Zuma said, referring to the New Development Bank (NDB), a multilateral institution operated by the BRICS states (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa). He added that its existence should not be a problem for the International Monetary Fund (IMF) or the World Bank: “What I think should happen is that these banks must change the way they do things,” the state leader said.

“One of the countries which is [a BRICS member] is world’s second biggest economy. How could they say ‘we don’t want to trade’ with such a country? I don’t think that could happen,” Zuma told RT, saying the new institution should be treated as an equal partner.

The new system could also help provide African countries with more development opportunities without being dependent on the West, the president believes. The NDB guarantees that whenever people in the third world need funds, “they are going to be provided [with help], they are going to achieve their objectives without being put under more difficult conditions,” Jacob Zuma said.

“We’ve had difficulties, even with the help that we get. It comes with so many strings attached,” Zuma told RT, adding that the lenders “want to dictate what you should do.”

“You can’t utilize that kind of assistance the way you want. So, in a sense, it has conditions that will keep you dependent all the time. That’s what we’re trying to take ourselves out of, and we believe that an alternative bank – like BRICS – does provide an opportunity for us,” Zuma said.

African countries are still “doing business with the West,” the president added, saying that he wasn’t making a call to stop it. “I am saying now that there’s an alternative, you can make a choice,” he said, adding that “BRICS carries quite a sizeable future for many countries.”

Officials of the five major emerging national economies often have consultations, even more of which “at ministerial level” might be needed as the association develops, the South African leader said.

“There’s a great respect among the members. These countries need to work together economically,” Zuma said of the block that was initially designed as a group of economic allies. He continued, “It has been important to allow it to flow on its own, because it is a voluntary kind of organization, and if we see the benefits – I think we are going to be in a position to say: Shouldn’t we tighten our relations even more?”

The trade within BRICS, which members account for a fifth of the world’s economic output and 40 percent of its population, has been progressively growing, the South African president said, adding that the countries within it “are not necessarily competing with one another, we are not rushing anything, we are just creating an atmosphere where countries must feel that they are really equals.”

A Swedish politician has caused outrage by saying that halal meat has magical powers and can turn you into a Muslim. The nationalist Sweden Democrat, which has around 20 percent support amongst the population, also wants to ban halal meat in schools.

Michael Ohman, the head of the nationalist party’s Heby wing told the Sala Allehanda newspaper that,“You become a Muslim if you eat halal meat,” the Local cited him as saying.

When asked by a reporter if he meant to say that halal meat had magical powers, Ohman responded by saying, “Yes. This is precisely what we have warned of. They sneak halal in everywhere.”

A machine on an assembly line grabbed a worker and thrust him against a metal slab, causing lethal injuries.

The tragedy occurred at a plant belonging to German automaker Volkswagen (VW) in Baunatal, on Monday.

A 21 year old man, who is not an employee of the plant, was assembling the robot for a new motor production line, according to the Local.de. His Meissen-based company had built the machine for the automaker.

He was the only person in the proximity of the machine. Other workers were standing in the outer area. The robot grabbed the man and threw him against a metal slab. He suffered a severe blow to the chest area and died in hospital.

VW spokesman Heiko Hillwig said that human error is to blame for the incident, according to the Associated Press. He said that the machine is programed to grab auto parts and manipulate them. It operates in a restricted area of the plant.

The factory at Baunatal, 100 kilometers north of Frankfurt, is the second largest for the Volkswagen brand. It doesn’t make vehicles, but assembles components for other plants.

Anyone still remembers the movies Terminator and iRobot?

1. The estimate is just an indication

Remember, the estimate is just that, merely an indication of what the piece is worth. If lots of people want the item the cost can spiral, but if fewer are interested you might bag a bargain.

2. Do your research

Get as much information about the item before you start, read the information carefully in advance and don’t be afraid to email the auction house in advance for more photos or information.

3. Choose your limit

Decide your limit before the bidding starts, “Follow your wallet not your heart. You can get emotionally caught up in the thrill of the moment and continue bidding beyond what you can afford. Say to yourself: ‘What is this item worth to me?’”

4. Look out for extra charges

Check additional charges before you bid.

5. It is a contract to buy

Remember, when the auctioneer bangs the gavel down at the end of bidding, it establishes the hammer price and it is a contract to buy.

6. Place an auto bid

The Auto-Bid System automatically places bids for you in a very efficient way. Using the Auto-Bid System guarantees your bid will be placed in the last 20 seconds. You’ll never have to worry about losing your Internet connection or getting distracted in the final seconds because Auto-Bid System will bid as you instruct it to.



7. Keep an eye on the deadline

The bidding process runs over days, hotting up as the sale deadline approaches. You receive email alerts as you win the item. But be mindful, “In the last minutes, the price can explode”.

8. Pay up quickly

Once successful, you will have 5-10 bank days to pay and make transport arrangements for your piece of treasure. It’s worth doing this quickly as some auction houses charge storage fees after a few days.

9. Go with your heart

What to buy? Buy with your heart, then you are more likely to enjoy the item and keep it longer.

10. Remember the date

Don’t forget to note the date and time of the sale, so you are sure not to miss it.

The US says it has sent extradition requests to Switzerland, for seven FIFA officials, who were arrested in May, on suspicion of corruption, the Swiss Federal Office of Justice has said. The officials are currently in jail around the Zurich region.

Local police in Zurich will now give the seven officials a hearing concerning the extradition requests, the Swiss Federal Office of Justice (FOJ) has said. The organization says that the officials or their lawyers will have 14 days to respond to the charges.

“On 1st July 2015, the US embassy in Bern submitted the formal extradition requests within the deadline laid down in the bilateral extradition treaty. The requests are based on the arrest warrants issued on 20 May 2015 by the United States Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York,” a statement on the FOJ’s website read.

The charges relate to a dawn raid carried out on May 27 at a hotel in Zurich, two days before FIFA’s executive committee was due to meet to hold elections to choose a new president for world football’s governing body.

The FOJ said it would give its ruling in a few weeks, but has mentioned that any decision could be challenged in both the federal criminal court and the federal supreme court.

The extradition requests are in response to a US probe into alleged bribery and corruption worth more than $100 million and are alleged to involve high-ranking FIFA officials.

The seven, who are being held in separate detention facilities around Zurich, in order to avoid collusion, are all from Latin America and the Caribbean region.

The men say they will all fight the extradition charges, while if they are eventually found guilty, they face the prospect of 20 years in jail.

Among those arrested are two FIFA vice-presidents, Eugenio Figueredo, who is also the President of CONMEBOL, the South American football organization, and Jeffrey Webb, who is also a UK citizen and the President of CONCACAF, the footballing governing body for North America and the Caribbean.

I wonder if there is anyone who has ever not worried about being boring—maybe only people so full of themselves that it never occurs to them that they could be anything but fascinating to those around them. Or maybe people who really are fascinating, and just don’t know it.

What we don’t need to wonder about is what makes people come across as boring. There is actually systematic research on that—not a lot, but enough to provide the first set of answers.

In the first set of studies, the researchers asked people to describe things “that other people do that make them seem boring to you.” Then they made a list of the 43 kinds of things mentioned most often, and asked several hundred more people to rate how boring they thought those behaviors were. In the end, they came up with nine categories of boring behavior.

Starting with the most boring, they are:

Negative egocentrism. The #1 most boring way of behaving was what the researchers described as “being negative and complaining, talking about one’s problems, displaying disinterest in others.”

Banality. “Talking about trivial or superficial things, being interested in only one topic, and repeating the same stories and jokes again and again.”

Low affectivity. Showing little enthusiasm, speaking in a monotone, engaging in very little eye contact, behaving in a very unexpressive way.

Tediousness. “Talking slowly, pausing a long time before responding, taking a long time to make one’s points, and dragging conversations on.”

Passivity. Having little to say, not having any opinions, being too predictable or too likely to try to conform with what everyone else is saying.

Self-preoccupation. Talking all about yourself.

Seriousness. Coming across as very serious, rarely smiling.

Boring ingratiation. “Trying to be funny or nice in order to impress other people.”

Distraction. Doing things that interfere with the conversation, getting sidetracked too easily, and engaging in too much small talk.

Here are a few of the ways they discovered that boring and interesting people behaved differently:

Interesting people disclose more of their thoughts and feelings than boring people do. (This is different from just talking about yourself all the time.)

Interesting people also contribute more information, not just emotions, to the conversation than boring people do.

Boring people use more “empty words” and say more things that don’t mean much—for example, saying “uh-huh” to agree with other people, but not much else.

Boring people also contribute less to the conversation overall than interesting people do.
