Celebrities › Cristiano Ronaldo's and New Girlfriend Georgina arrive home country with style by gabonsky(op): 8:46pm On Jan 03, 2017
Every time they've been spotted lately they've been packing on the PDA, following their first public appearance in November.

But Cristiano Ronaldo and his new girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez cut steely figures as they strutted from a private jet to a car to their hotel in Madeira on Tuesday.

The 31-year-old footballer was seen marching from a large vehicle with tinted glass windows to their hotel in Madeira, their faces stern, eager to get inside and relax.

Stylish pair: Cristiano Ronaldo's fashionable new girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez strutted into their Madeira hotel... while the football star was accosted by female fans

The brunette beauty - formally an employee of fashion house Gucci - displayed her svelte figure in what is becoming a trademark casual ensemble of skinny jeans, knee-high black leather boots and a black biker jacket.

She wore the jacket open revealing a crisp white shirt underneath.

Georgina wore her raven tresses loose and kept her make-up simple - letting her naturally tanned beauty make a statement on its own.

Cristiano looked typically flash in a tight black top, black skinny jeans, tan boots and a denim jacket.

Going strong: The Real Madrid player is rumoured to have met Georgina in the VIP section at an event hosted by Italian brand Dolce & Gabbana, before going public with their romance last month

Group outing: The pair were shrouded by security guards and an entourage featuring other stylish women as they moved from a private plane to a car to the hotel


We've spotted Cristiano Ronaldo's new girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez wearing labels like Max Mara and Balenciaga, plus she used to work at Gucci. So it's safe to say she knows what she's talking about when it comes to style!

But the superstar footballer gave Georgina a run for her money when they were spotted out and about in Madeira, wearing a denim jacket by Dsquared2, which he teamed with a Louis Vuitton scarf.

We love the distressed detail on his jacket, as well as the light wash and little red logo detail. Unfortunately it has now sold out, but why not snap up the similar version we've tracked down for you at Farfetch by clicking the link (right) now?

Or look ahead to spring in one of the denim jackets in our edit below. Topman's take on the trend will do the trick!


He completed the look with a black and tan scarf, shades and a pair of stud earrings.
The pair were shrouded by security guards and an entourage featuring other stylish women as they moved from a private plane to a car to the hotel.

His mother was evidently in attendance too as her car was spotted on the road - and was issued with a parking ticket for being double parked.

A couple of days before the footballer and his girlfriend were spotted looking more loved-up than ever as they as they indulged in numerous passionate smooches across the dinner table during a date night.

Sipping on a few drinks, the new couple couldn't take their eyes off each other as they chatted intimately and laughed together while waiting for their food.

The dinner marks one of many date nights for the pair over Christmas - who have ventured out multiple times a week since going public with their romance in November.

Georgina has since paid a visit to Real Madrid's Santiago Bernabeu stadium, where she watched the Portuguese sportsman in action.

The footballer is rumoured to have met Georgina in the VIP section at an event hosted by Italian brand Dolce & Gabbana, shortly after ending his short lived romance with former Miss Spain Desirée Cordero Ferrer.


Grand arrival: The 31-year-old footballer was seen marching from a large vehicle with tinted glass windows to their hotel in Madeira, their faces stern, eager to get inside and relax

Prior to Georgina, Ronaldo has enjoyed a series of brief romances following his split with Russian Victoria's Secret model Irina Shayk.

He was pictured on a luxury yacht on the Mediterranean in June, gyrating with a brunette who was later identified as Colombian Paula Suarez.

British socialite Chloe Green set tongues wagging in March by posting an autographed message from Cristiano above a lips T-shirt on her Instagram account during a visit to Madrid.

More recently he enjoyed short lived romance with former Miss Spain Desirée after 'flirting' with the model on Instagram.

Crime › Moroccan Woman arrested For Smuggle A Migrant 19yrs to Spain (Viewer Discretion) by gabonsky(op): 10:57am On Jan 02, 2017
Moroccan woman is arrested for trying to smuggle a migrant, 19, across the border into Spain inside a SUITCASE

A Moroccan woman has been arrested for trying to smuggle a 19-year-old migrant from Gabon across the border with Spain curled up inside a suitcase.

The Spanish Civil Guard arrested the woman in Ceuta, a Spanish enclave next to Morocco, on December 30.

It comes as around 1,100 sub-Saharan African migrants today tried to cross into Spain from Morocco via Ceuta by storming a border fence.

Dozens of migrants made it to the top of the 6 metre barbed wire fence in the early hours before being lifted down by cranes, footage from local TV station Faro TV showed.

Only two people were allowed into Ceuta to be taken to hospital while the rest were returned to Morocco, the Spanish government said in a statement.

A 19-year-old migrant, from Gabon, was smuggled across the Morocco-Spain border in a case.

Five Spanish police and 50 from Morocco were injured, the government added, after migrants used rocks and metal bars to try and break through gates to access the fence and clashed with authorities.

Spain's two enclaves in Morocco, Ceuta and Melilla, are often used as entry points into Europe for African migrants, who either climb over their border fences or try to swim along the coast.

Spain has drawn criticism from human rights groups for allowing some migrants to be immediately turned back to Morocco in such incidents. They argue that skipping the lengthier deportation procedures deprives people of the opportunity to claim asylum.

In early December more than 400 sub-Saharan African migrants managed to force their way over the Ceuta border fence.

However, Libya has become a more common departure point for African migrants, most of whom come from sub-Saharan countries and attempt the crossing to Italy by boat.

2016 was the deadliest year ever for migrants in the Mediterranean, with almost 5,000 deaths, according to the International Organization for Migration.

Two women were arrested after the baby was discovered in the bag at the Morocco-Spain border (pictured) last month.

The incident involving the migrant in the suitcase comes a month after a four-week-old baby almost suffocated after being smuggled in a sports bag across the same border.

The baby vomited over an officer when it was lifted out the bag which had been sealed by a zip in the humid conditions.

And last year an eight-year-old boy, Abou, from Ivory Coast, was also smuggled into Ceuta inside a suitcase.

He was found inside the bag being carried by a 19-year-old woman. He was found in a 'terrible state' when police opened the case.

Science/Technology › NASA Just Released Its Incredibly Cool Concept For Houses On Mars by gabonsky(op): 10:12am On Jan 02, 2017
NASA researchers have a lot of problems to work through if they want astronauts to one day set foot on Mars. One of the biggest hurdles is where these early pioneers will sleep and live, and after a day of brainstorming, engineers might have come up with a solution – a conceptual 'ice home' design.

Yup, NASA is looking into creating inflatable domes covered in ice for astronauts to live and work in, providing them with protection from extreme temperatures and high-energy radiation.

"After a day dedicated to identifying needs, goals, and constraints we rapidly assessed many crazy, out of the box ideas and finally converged on the current Ice Home design, which provides a sound engineering solution," said senior systems engineer Kevin Vipavetz, from NASA’s Langley Research Centre in Virginia.

So what exactly is an 'Ice Home' anyway? Well, though the name invokes images of igloos, and that mental image isn't all that far off, the concept NASA’s working out – officially called Mars Ice Home – is an inflatable, inner-tube-like device that, when inflated fully, is covered with a thick sheet of protective ice. It looks like this:

"The Mars Ice Home design has several advantages that make it an appealing concept. It is lightweight and can be transported and deployed with simple robotics, then filled with water before the crew arrives," the team says.

"It incorporates materials extracted from Mars, and because water in the Ice Home could potentially be converted to rocket fuel for the Mars Ascent Vehicle, the structure itself doubles as a storage tank that can be refilled for the next crew."

The major goal of the Ice Home concept is to protect astronauts from high-energy radiation, such as cosmic rays, that can penetrate the Martian atmosphere. These rays can damage cells, raising the risk of a slew of health concerns such as cancer and acute radiation sickness.

As it turns out, since ice is hydrogen-rich it acts as a shield against these rays, making it a great cover for preventing the rays from smacking into the astronauts. This is best understood with the illustration below, in which you can see how thick the ice will be around the top of the dome, providing the required protection.

"The materials that make up the Ice Home will have to withstand many years of use in the harsh Martian environment, including ultraviolet radiation, charged-particle radiation, possibly some atomic oxygen, perchlorates, as well as dust storms – although not as fierce as in the movie The Martian," explains researcher Sheila Ann Thibeault, also from the Langley Research Centre.

Besides offering protection from the harsh environmental realities of Mars, the Ice Home would be super light compared to other settlement ideas that involve constructing buildings here on Earth before shooting them off to the Red Planet.

One of the best ways for humans to survive on Mars, the team says, is to burrow underground, which offers the best protection from all of the harmful things on the surface.

To do that, though, some sort of shelter will need to be waiting for the astronauts once they get there, and the team thinks the ice dome – with its lightweight frame, easy construction, and ability to use water materials that are already on the planet – might be the perfect solution.

"After months of travel in space, when you first arrive at Mars and your new home is ready for you to move in, it will be a great day," explains team member Kevin Kempton.

Without the inflatable habitat, which the team says can inflate and cover itself with ice extracted from the Martian landscape in about 400 Earth days, researchers would have to likely find a way to get heavy drilling and digging machines on Mars to create underground shelters before astronauts got there, a concept that would be far too complicated and cost way too much money.

While it’s important to remember that the Ice Home is still in its conceptual stage, it’s looking like a promising solution to the all of the various troubles that come along with living on Mars, and it very well might be the first thing future pioneers see when they get off that spacecraft after months of intense space travel.

Health › Ginger Tea Shown To Naturally Kill Cancer, Dissolve Kidney Stone & Improve Live by gabonsky(op): 10:01am On Jan 02, 2017
Ginger tea shown to naturally kill cancer, dissolve kidney stones, improve liver health and more

(NaturalNews) Ginger is another example of a 'superfood' that has been prized for thousands of years for its amazing health benefits, and which is now being scientifically proven to have more beneficial properties than almost anyone had previously imagined.

Recent research has shown that – among its many other health-promoting qualities – ginger may be up to 10,000 times more effective at fighting cancer than chemotherapy.

As reported by Food Revolution:

"The new study titled, '6-Shogaol Inhibits Breast Cancer Cells and Stem Cell-Like Spheroids by Modulation of Notch Signaling Pathway and Induction of Autophagic Cell Death,' identified powerful anti-cancer stem cell activity in 6-shogaol, a pungent constituent of ginger produced when the root is either dried or cooked. The study also found that the cancer-destroying effects occurred at concentrations that were non-toxic to non-cancerous cells – a crucial difference from conventional cancer treatments that do not exhibit this kind of selective cytotoxicity and therefore can do great harm to the patient."

Cancer stem cells are sometimes called "mother cells" because they are the precursors to the "daughter cells" that multiply to create tumors. As the researchers noted, chemotherapy is not effective at killing these mother cells and therefore in many cases, the cancer returns.

From the research findings:

"Cancer stem cells pose serious obstacle to cancer therapy as they can be responsible for poor prognosis and tumour relapse. To add into the misery, very few chemotherapeutic compounds show promise to kill these cells. Several researchers have shown that cancer stem cells are resistant to paclitaxel, doxorubicin, 5-fluorouracil, and platinum drugs [8, 16]. CSCs are thus an almost unreachable population in tumours for chemotherapy. Therefore any compound, that shows promise towards cancer stem cells, is a highly desirable step towards cancer treatment and should be followed up for further development."

Ginger has been proven to be effective in killing ovarian and prostate cancer cells – further research could lead to more effective treatments that do not harm healthy cells in the human body, unlike chemotherapy and radiation treatments.

Other health benefits
Aside from ginger's potential use in fighting cancer, the root has many other properties that make it one of Nature's most powerful remedies.

From Holistic Living Tips:

"Due to its strong anti-inflammatory, anti-parasitic, anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties, ginger is considered to be one of the most powerful foods of the 21st century.

"Ginger is rich in Vitamin C, magnesium and other minerals which make it extremely beneficial for your overall health. It is well known by its long history of use for improving digestion and immunity, relieving pain and fighting cardiovascular diseases, asthma and many other health issues."

Boost your health with ginger tea
One of the best ways to reap the health-promoting properties of ginger is by drinking ginger tea. My own remedy for numerous common ailments is to simply chop up some fresh ginger into small chunks and then boil it in water for about 15–20 minutes. I like the taste without adding any sweetener, but some may find it a bit overpowering. In my experience, ginger tea is one of the best methods for fighting the onset of a cold, treating indigestion and strengthening my own immune system.

Holistic Living Tips provides a recipe that combines the health-boosting properties of both ginger and turmeric, blended with coconut milk and sweetened with honey.

The recipe is as follows:

Ingredients:

Organic honey
1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon of ground turmeric
Coconut milk
A cup of water

Method of preparation:

The preparation of ginger tea is extremely easy. First, boil some water, add turmeric and ginger and let it simmer for 7-10 minutes. Next, add the milk and then strain the tea in a cup.

Do yourself a favor and start drinking ginger tea on a regular basis. It's a delicious way to treat minor ailments, and may even prevent you from developing cancer.

Celebrities › Why More People Die On January 1 Than Any Other Time Of The Year by gabonsky(op): 10:56pm On Jan 01, 2017
Despite the fact that most people spend January 1 fighting off hangovers and sleeping, research has revealed that today is actually the most dangerous day of the year.

A study conducted by the University of California collected data and found that deaths spike for the two weeks around Christmas and the New Year.

Overall the research found that the day you're most likely to die of natural causes is the first of the new year, January 1.

DOA: A study from the University of California has found that more people die from natural causes on January 1 than any other day.

To determine this, the researchers examined death certificates issued over a period of 25 years in the US.

Many studies had already determined an increase in deaths related to self harm, accidents, and homicide around the holidays, but none relating to natural causes of death.

Natural causes are determined to be people dying of illness, old age and disease, but not from accidents or homicide.

The study authors therefore investigated and found a significant trend, with 5 per cent more people dying on January 1 from natural causes than on any other day.

Not a happy new year: The researchers studied the data of death certificates from the US over a period of 25 years/

While this fact was easily established with data, the reason why this occurs is unknown.

'This pattern turns up in every natural cause of death, but not for external causes like auto accidents,' one of the authors, David Phillips, told the Washington Post.

'It's hard to understand why that would be.'

Mystery: One of the study's authors, David Phillips, said that they didn't know why the death spike occured.

While the conclusion of the study recommended more research be done in the area, to date no more findings have been published.

'It's not only a mystery, but a mystery that people haven't even tried to engage with,' Mr Phillips said, confirming that he is not aware of any further research on the topic.

The moral of the story is if you're feeling unwell on New Year's Day, especially if you are suffering from an illness, maybe get yourself to a hospital, just in case.

Politics › Jonathan’s Men, Woman On The Run After Been Declared Wanted By EFCC by gabonsky(op): 10:49pm On Jan 01, 2017
A former governor of Delta State, James Ibori, who evaded arrest in Nigeria was recently released from a London prison where he served term for money laundering. Mr. Ibori had escaped to Dubai to avoid being arrested in Nigeria. He was, however extradited to the UK from the UAE, at the request of British authorities.

Like Mr. Ibori, there are other former Nigerian political office holders who have fled the country to avoid arrests and potential prosecutions for corruption.

PREMIUM TIMES reviews some of these persons, most ex-public officials, who served in the Goodluck Jonathan administration.

These include ex-ministers, aides and associates of Mr. Jonathan

They left the country under differ­ent pretences, ranging from the need for medical care to pursuit of higher education abroad.

DIEZANI ALISON-MADUEKE

Diezani Alison-Madueke held the position of petroleum minister under Mr. Jonathan. She was one of the most powerful public officials in the administration.

A former director at Shell, Mrs. Alison-Madueke was first appointed into the federal cabinet in 2007 as Minister of Transport by late President Umaru Yar’Adua. In December 2008, she was redeployed to the Mines and Steel Development ministry. After former Vice President Goodluck Jonathan became acting president, Mrs. Alison-Madueke was appointed Nigeria’s first female petroleum minister in February 2010, a position she held till May 29, 2015 when Mr. Jonathan left office. Mrs. Alison-Madueke’s tenure as petroleum minister turned out one of Nigeria’s most controversial, amidst unending allegations of corruption.


Corruption allegations: Under her watch, probes by independent audit firms, including the KPMG, confirmed billions of Naira of oil money was mismanaged. The then Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria, Lamido Sanusi, alleged in 2014 that the missing money was about $20 billion.

Also, long before her time superintending the oil and gas sector, Mrs. Alison-Madueke was investigated by the Nigerian Senate on allegation she irregularly paid N30.9 billion to contractors as transport minister. In 2009, the Senate also indicted Mrs. Alison-Madueke and recommended her for prosecution for allegedly transferring N1.2 billion into a private account of a toll company without due process. The former minister consistently denied any wrongdoing.

She is also enmeshed in various scandals surrounding the sale or lease of Nigeria’s oil blocks.


In October last year, she was arrested in London along with others by the UK National Crime Agency. A few hours after her arrest, Nigeria’s EFCC operatives raided her Abuja home, located in the Asokoro district of the federal capital city, and sealed the property, after they reportedly recovered expensive jewelleries and other items from the building.

Mrs. Alison-Madueke is believed to be in the United Kingdom where in 2015 she received treatment for cancer.

Accomplices: Two separate intelligence reports identified one Donald Chidi Amamgbo as a key figure in Mrs. Alison-Madueke’s alleged money laundering activities. Another of her close business ally, Jide Omokore, is already being tried for corruption by the EFCC.

Other businessmen like Kola Aluko, Kolawale Akane and Walter Wagbatsoma were also named as close collaborators in the former minister’s suspected web of illicit financial activities. The former minister’s mother, Beatrice Agama; her son, Ugonna Madueke; and a Swiss, Melanie Spencer, were also among people she was arrested with in the UK.

MOHAMMED BELLO ADOKE

Mohammed Adoke is Nigeria’s immediate past Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice. A Senior Advocate of Nigeria, he was appointed into the office on April 6, 2010, when the then Acting President Goodluck Jonathan announced a new cabinet.

As the chief law officer of the country, he wielded enormous powers,especially because he had supervisory control over prominent law enforcement agencies such as the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC, National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

Mr. Adoke was one of the first set of top officials in the Jonathan administration to flee the country a few days after President Muhammadu Buhari took over on May 29, 2015.


Supposed hideout: Mr. Adoke has stated that he left Nigeria for the Netherlands to pursue a law programme at the prestigious Leiden University.

Corruption Charges: Mr. Adoke has been fingered in at least three major multi-billion dollar deals. They include the $1.1 billion Malabu oil payment deal; $2.1 billion arms fund diversion and recently, the alleged diversion of $1.6 billion local government judgment fund.

The EFCC filed charges of money laundering and fraud against Mr. Adoke and others on December 20 at the Federal High Court, Abuja, in respect of the Malabu oil deal at the centre of which is Dan Etete, a former minister of petroleum under the late Sani Abacha. Mr. Adoke, however, responded to the charges by pledging to make himself available for trial.

Alleged accomplices: Former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, and former petroleum minister, Dan Etete.

KINGSLEY KUKU

Kingsley Kuku was Special Adviser to former President Goodluck Jonathan on Niger Delta Affairs. He was also the Chair­man of the Presidential Amnesty Programme. He was one of those who left the country soon after President Buhari took over.
Mr. Kuku is suspected to be in the U.S. He has, however, insisted that he only travelled to on medical grounds.


The EFCC in July 2015 summoned Mr. Kuku for question­ing over alleged embezzlement and fraudulent diversion of funds running into hundreds of millions of Naira in the Amnesty Office. Mr. Kuku was asked to appear before the EFCC on July 28, 2015 but requested to be allowed to honour the invitation on September 30, 2015. A letter by Mr. Kuku’s lawyers to the EFCC said the former presidential aide was undergoing surgery on one of his knees. He has, however, continued to seek protection from the courts and has since been at large.

In his defence, Mr. Kuku alleged that investigation by the anti-graft agency into the amnesty funds was a calculated attempt to smear his name. Speaking through his media aide, Yemi Akintomide, in Akure, Mr. Kuku said the EFCC was too much in a hurry to nail him on corruption charges through media trial, even when he had not appeared before the agency’s investigators.

Alleged accomplices: Henry Ugbolue and Lawrence Pepple, both former aides to Mr. Kuku.

GOVERNMENT EKPEMUPOLO (Tompolo)

Government Ekpemupolo is a former militant commander of the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta, MEND. For years, Tompolo joined forces with various guerrilla groups in the Niger Delta agitating against the alleged exploitation and degra­dation of the oil-rich region by the Federal Government and international oil companies.

He, however, embraced the amnesty programme on October 4, 2009, to allow for peace, and for the govern­ment and the oil companies to carry out development projects in the region. Though not a public office holder under the Jonathan admin­istration, he wielded enormous powers and influence as one of the power brokers in that administration.

Corruption Charges: According to the EFCC which has since declared him wanted, the 47-year-old Tompolo is want­ed in a case of conspiracy and illegal diversion of the sum of N34, 000,000,000 (Thirty Four Bil­lion Naira) belonging to the Nige­rian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, NIMASA.


The former DG of NIMASA, Patrick Akpobolokemi, who was said to have been nominated for the office by Tompolo, is already being prosecuted for his alleged role in the scam.

Tompolo has denied involvement in the N34 billion fraud. The denial was contained in one of his many recent open letters to President Buhari from his hideout.

“The truth of the mat­ter is that I do not know anything about the 34 billion naira EFCC is talking about. First, it was 13-bil­lion naira (N13bn) issue, now it is 34 billion naira (N34bn). I am not a signatory to any of the compa­nies mentioned in the said N34bn case, so I do not know where this one is coming from”, he said in one of the letters.
Alleged Accomplices: Mr. Akpobolokemi and his six brothers.

They are Igo Akpobolokemi, Julius Akpobolokemi, Victor Akpobolokemi, Norbert Akpobolokemi, Emmanuel Akpobolokemi and Clement Akpobolokemi. Companies listed in the charge by the EFCC are Mieka Dive Training Institute Ltd/GTE, Oyeinteke Global Network Ltd, Wabod Global Resources Ltd, Boloboere Properties Estate Ltd, Gokaid Marine Oil and Gas Ltd and Watershed Associated Resources.

They were however declared as being “now at large” when the charges were read.

ABDULRASHEED ABDULLAHI MAINA

Abdulrasheed Maina, a former Chairman of Pension Reform Task Team, was a close ally of Mr. Jonathan. He is wanted by the EFCC for of­fences bordering on procurement fraud and obtaining by false pretence.

The EFCC on November 18, 2015 wrote the Inspector-General of Police for assistance to get the INTERPOL to issue a world-wide alert on Mr. Maina. In response, the Commissioner of Police in charge of INTERPOL, Olusola Subair, stated that the INTERPOL had placed a red alert on the fugitive at its general secretariat in Lyon, France. Meanwhile, the EFCC is of the view that Mr. Maina might be hiding at the United Arab Emirates.

Former Chairman of the Pension Reform Task Team
Abdulrasheed Maina, Former Chairman of the Pension Reform Task Team
According to information on the EFCC website, Mr. Maina is allegedly complicit in the over N2 billion Pensions Biometric scam in the office of the Head of Civil Service of the Federation. He remains at large, after charges were filed against his alleged accomplices, includ­ing a former Head of Service of the Federation, Steve Orosanye.

Speaking from hiding through his lawyer, Olajide Olaoye, Mr. Maina disputed the fact that he is wanted by the EFCC for any crime. However, as at press time, his picture and details are still on EFCC website as one of its wanted suspects.

Alleged Accomplices: Steve Orosanye, former Head of Civil Service; Osarenkhoe Afe; Federick Hamilton Global Services Limited, Cluster Logistic Limited; Kangolo Dynamic Cleaning Limited; and Drew Investment& Construction Company Limited.

BELLO FADILE

Bello Fadile is a retired colonel of the Nigerian Army. He was a close confidant of former National Se­curity Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, and a Director of Special Duties in the office of the National Secu­rity Adviser, ONSA under Mr. Dasuki.


Mr. Fadile is being investigated for his alleged role in the $2.1 billion arms scandal for which various persons close to Mr. Jonathan and the PDP have either been arrested or are being prosecuted.

Messrs. Dasuki and Fadile were placed under house arrest by the State Security Service, DSS, in July 2015 after which Mr. Da­suki was arrested and still remains in the custody of the SSS despite several court orders.

Mr. Fadile’s whereabouts is unknown but he is said to be currently in the U.S.

Alleged accomplice: Former NSA boss, Sambo Dasuki.

LAWYERS REACT
Two legal practitioners spoke with PREMIUM TIMES on how the suspects can be treated by the Nigerian government.

“There is nothing wrong with our legal system which comprises various institutions and laws to effectively fight corruption, especially economic crimes.,” a lawyer, Akunne Nzube, said.

“But these laws are not effectively interpreted and implemented by the requisite institutions, including the judiciary. This deficiency is apparent in the James Ibori’s trial here in Nigeria, which ended in an acquittal and his subsequent conviction in the UK.


“The renewed enthusiasm of this present administration to restore these institutions to combat graft effectively is being hampered by the difficulties in getting the suspects extradited to face trial.”

The activist said although he sees “nothing wrong with our anti-graft laws and institutions, save for issue of inefficiency.

“But in the circumstance, I’m constrained to make the following suggestions to aid this present administration in the fight against corruption: The Legal authorities should consider alternatives like using immigration laws in foreign countries to have fugitives deported as illegal immigrant.

“They can also try whether civil legal action could be taken to sue former officials hiding overseas. Nigeria must either reform the existing institutions (including the agencies and the courts) fighting corruption for efficient and effective results or establish an emergency expeditious corruption trial bill and laws and special anti-graft courts.”

Another lawyer, Frank Obi, expressed a contrary view saying the suspects remained innocent until declared guilty by a court.

“An accused person should be presumed innocent until otherwise declared by a court of competent jurisdiction.

“The duty of the prosecutor is to prosecute and not to persecute. I suggest the judiciary be allowed to perform its role quietly without undue interference,” he said

Car Talk › Mercedes-benz W196R Streamliner Study From 2040 Is Everything We Dreamed Of by gabonsky(op): 5:35am On Jan 01, 2017
Mercedes-Benz W196R Streamliner Study From 2040 Is Everything We Dreamed Of



In terms of iconic racing cars, few can hold a candle to the Mercedes-Benz W196, particularly in Streamliner guise.


The car was produced by the German marque for the 1954 and 1955 F1 seasons and managed to score the two world championships in which it competed. Additionally, it claimed nine victories in just 12 outings and spawned a special 'streamliner' version for use at the high speed Reims-Gueux circuit in France.


Compared to Formula One cars of today, the W196 had a much sleeker, stylish and simpler design Inspired by the original, South Korean designer Minwoong Im has created an amazing W196R Streamliner study from / for the year 2040.




Considering that almost a century separates the designs of the two, they still bare resemblances to each other. Most notably, the future vehicle has prominent wheel arches, is painted silver and includes a tiny windscreen.



Unlike the real-life W196 Streamliner, Im's car has a closed cockpit and includes modern-day aerodynamic aids like a Le Mans-inspired fin behind the cockpit and a bold splitter.



Other key design touches of the 2040 W196R Streamliner include the bulging jet engines at the rear, the enclosed rear wheels and as with any great Mercedes, a huge three-pointed star badge on the front grille.

Health › Home Remedies For Killing Gnats & Fruit Flies! by gabonsky(op): 9:30pm On Dec 28, 2016
One of the most annoying things that you can find in your kitchens are the gnats and fruit flies. No matter how much we try to get rid of them, they just don’t seem to go away.

These methods are worth trying before you call the professionals who’ll help you to get rid of fruit flies. Read on “how to get rid of gnats”!

How to Get Rid of Gnats and Fruit Flies?


1. The Vinegar Trap For Killing Gnats & Fruit Flies
If you believe that vinegar is something that’s only confined to a kitchen, then let me tell you, you’re wrong. Vinegar can be used as an amazing remedy to get rid of the fruit flies. This method is a very simple one but works wonders and you’ll be shocked to see that the fruit flies and gnats would never come back again.

You will need a container, some dish soap water, sugar and the apple cider vinegar to do this trick.
Mix 2 to 3 tablespoons of the vinegar, add 1 or 2 tablespoons of sugar, take some dish soap that’s capable of producing more bubbles and mix few drops of it to this mixture.
Add 1 glass of water to this mixture and mix it well until you feel all the ingredients are blended into each other really well.
The vinegar trap is already ready to go!

All you need to do now is the place this container in the area where there are too many gnats. These insects will get so much attracted to the vinegar that they’ll approach the container and try to drink it off. All the gnats and fruit flies will get attracted to the container. They will then succumb to death when they try to lick the liquid as there is soap bubbles content. That’s how simple it is! No hard gas professionals required! Try this and you’ll be surprised yourself!

2. How to Get Rid of Gnats With The Rotten Vegetables Trick?
Instead of just throwing away the rotten vegetables, what if I tell you, you could make use of them for getting rid of the gnats and fruit flies? Just like the vinegar trick, this one too is very simple and an effective remedy. You don’t have to store all the rotten vegetables, all you need is one or two rotten vegetables. Rotten fruits too will do the trick!

Take a small container. Add 1 or 1 and a half glass of water to it.
Take a dish wash soap that comes with a lot of bubbles. You might also try the liquid washes that are available easily on the market.
Let the dish wash soap or the liquid washes be mixed well into the water. Let it show some bubbles.
Now, take the rotten vegetable or the fruit that you have and place it with the bottle. Cover the rotten fruit or the vegetable with a nice plastic so that it doesn’t stink too much and it can all he held in place.
Use a plastic tape and bring in place the container and the rotten fruit or vegetable. Now take a sharp pin and make some holes in the vegetable or the fruit.

Place this container in places where there are too many fruit flies or gnats. You will see that they are attracted towards the container and they’ll slowly try to gulp the liquid too. And that’s what we want! They will succumb to death. Use this trick if you’re fine with bearing the bad odor for some time until the gnats and fruit flies are all dead.

3. The Bleaching Powder Trick to Get Rid of Fruit Flies
When you are having gnats that are probably breeding in the pipes of your sink, this trick is recommended. In most cases, the gnats will start breeding in your kitchen skin and from there, they’ll start spreading to the other parts of your home too very soon. So, treat the place from where it all starts and definitely, the gnats will be reduced over time.

You will need some bleaching powder to do this trick. Add some bleaching powder with water such that it is blended well. Make sure it’s mild, not very concentrated, neither too dilute.
Pour this mixture in your sink and especially pour it well into your sink pipe.
Consider doing this, twice a day and you’ll soon see that the gnats that are breeding in your sink pipe are gradually disappearing with time.

This trick can also be applied in the washing basin. Sometimes, if your washing some fruits and nuts in your wash basin, you’ll be noticing gnats from their too. You can apply it there too! And also, it’s not just serving the purpose of getting rid of gnats and fruit flies. Your kitchen sink will shine by the virtue of bleaching powder! Time to give it a shot!

4. How to Get Rid of Gnats Using Red Wine Trick ?
This is yet another effective way for how to get rid of gnats and fruit flies. The red wine is something that appears very attractive and welcoming to the fruit flies and the gnats. So, you’ll not have to roam around your home with a gnats trap but they will come to the red wine bottle on their own. You will need some red wine for doing this. You needn’t really spend too much on buying the costliest red wine. Get the cheapest one, it would suffice to do the trick.

Take a plastic container that is a see through one. It can be of glass too. But make sure, it’s transparent and see through. Opaque ones are a no no.
Pour some red wine into the container.
Do not use the container lid to close it, but use a plastic polythene to cover the lid of the container. Use any sharp substance to make small holes on the plastic polythene.
Now, add some soap dish into the red wine so that it can create some bubbles.
The aroma of the red wine is very welcoming to the gnats and the fruit flies.

You will notice that the gnats and fruit flies that are present in various places of your home will be attracted to this container. They will come hunting for the red wine that looks like a fruit juice to them and they’ll slowly succumb to death by virtue of the soap bubbles. The best way of using this trick is to keep the container in the night and leaving it there overnight. By you wake up in the morning, all those annoying gnats and fruit flies will be dead and gone!

Car Talk › This Rare Black Ferrari F50 Is Valued At Over $3 Million by gabonsky(op): 9:23pm On Dec 28, 2016
The vast majority of the F50s that Ferrari sold were, as you might expect, finished in red. In fact 302 out of the 349 were painted Rosso Corsa, and another eight in a darker shade of Rosso Barchetta. There were a handful painted other colors, though – including 31 in Giallo Modena, four in Argento Nurburgring, and four in Nero Daytona – like the one you see here.

Chassis no. ZFFTG46A6S0104092 was one of two delivered in black to the United States. The other one crashed recently, and though it was repaired, the example you see here remains the most pristine you're ever going to find.

Color aside, this F50 carries the same mechanical components as any of the other 349 made. That means a 4.7-liter naturally aspirated V12 rated at 520 horsepower, mated to a six-speed manual transmission – making the F50 the last of Ferrari's flagships to include a clutch pedal. With a carbon-fiber chassis and bodywork, the twelve-cylinder roadster could hit 60 in 3.6 seconds and top out at over 200 miles per hour.

With just 2,090 miles on the odometer, this black F50 has been coddled its entire life. The hardtop, the canvas top, and the three-piece matched luggage set have never been used and are still in their original packaging. That's a bit of a shame, considering that a car like this is made to be driven. But it means that the murdered-out supercar remains highly valuable.

How valuable, you ask? Between $3 and 3.5 million. That's how much the auction house expects it will sell for when it drops the gavel in Arizona in a few weeks. But you can check it out now in all its glory thanks to Drew Shipley, who shot these beautiful photos for RM Sotheby's.

Celebrities › William And Kate Look Set To Permanently Swap Norfolk For Kensington Palace by gabonsky(op): 9:49pm On Dec 27, 2016
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are expected to leave their Norfolk residence behind for Kensington Palace in 2017.

Prince William and Kate, both 34, have reportedly decided their son Prince George, three, will be schooled in London meaning that the royal residence will be their permanent base.

It is thought the royals have put their eldest child's name down at the £6,500-a-term Wetherby School in London, just less than a mile from the palace.

Reception, here I come! Prince George, 3, began attending Westacre Montessori nursery school near Sandringham, Norfolk earlier this year

Capital attraction: The Duke and Duchess are reportedly moving their family to Kensington Palace permanently as they take on more royal duties

The pre-prep school was also attended by Prince William and Prince Harry and is said to be a firm favourite of the royal pair.

Both William and Kate are set to take on even more royal duties in 2017, after stepping up their responsibilities this year, and will be in need of a permanent London residence along with Princess Charlotte, one.

This also means Prince William will have to make a decision about his future as a helicopter pilot so that he is able to join Kate on a full-time basis.

His piloting contract ends in March and, according to the Daily Telegraph, it is thought the Duke may continue to work for the East Anglian Air Ambulance Service until the summer.

The royal family will be expected to leave their Norfolk home of Anmer Hall behind to bring their children up in Kensington Palace, London

The Duke and Duchess are also reportedly hoping to expand their own Royal Foundation charity and want to focus more on causes like mental health.

Prince William and Kate, along with Prince Harry have openly lent their support to the helping people battle mental health issues.

The Duchess pledged back in October that they will do 'what they can to shine a spotlight on emotional wellbeing' on World Mental Health Day and earlier in the year launched the Heads Together campaign.

While Kate is thought to be unhappy about a move back to London the royal pair will be helping The Queen, 90, to lighten her workload.

SCHOOLS FIT FOR A FUTURE KING
WETHERBY SCHOOL
Distance from Kensington Palace: 0.7 miles

The Notting Hill school, which charges £6,540 a term, is just a 15-minute walk from Kensington Palace

William and Harry's former school is the clear favourite when it comes to potential schools for the young prince.

Wetherby, which charges £6,540 a term, is just a 15-minute walk from Kensington Palace, in a beautiful listed building overlooking Pembridge Square Gardens.

Many of the pupils at the all-boys school, which accommodates around 250 students, go on to Eton, St Paul's and Westminster.

Other famous old boys include Hugh Grant, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Julian Fellowes.

The uniform consists of a distinctive red tie, grey cap and scarlet-trimmed blazer.

ST MARY ABBOTS PRIMARY SCHOOL
Distance from Kensington Palace: 0.5 miles

William and Kate's status as modern royals could be cemented if they break tradition and enroll George at St Mary Abbot's Primary School.

William and Kate's status as modern royals could be cemented if they break tradition and enroll George at a local primary school.

St Mary Abbots Primary School is just down the road from the palace and was rated 'Good' in 2014. It is also where David and Samantha Cameron sent their children.

Kate herself attended her local church school when she was a youngster, making this primary an outside contender for the young prince.

Pupils wear a navy blue sweater with a pale blue polo top underneath.

GARDEN HOUSE SCHOOL
Distance from Kensington Palace: 2.5 miles

Another on the list of contenders in London is the Garden House School in Chelsea

Another school on the list of contenders is the Garden House School in Chelsea, which is popular with the Tatler crowd.

Boys and girls are taught separately at the £7,000-a-term school that promises to offer a 'broad and exciting curriculum'.

Parents who are said to have had children here include Lady Helen Windsor and Roman Abramovich, while famous pupils include Formula 1 heiress Tamara Ecclestone.

Pupils wear a blue tweed jacket with grey cord trousers or three-quarter length shorts.

Health › Have Iron Deficiency? Know The Symptoms, Causes And Treatments… by gabonsky(op): 12:03pm On Dec 26, 2016
Iron is renown as the king of all metals. No wonder it is called so, since it is highly essential in our day to day lives. What is more interesting is that iron is also essential for our body to be healthy.

Deficiency of iron can cause various troubles. On the grounds of health concerns, I write this article, letting you know everything about the iron deficiency anemia.

So What Exactly is Anaemia?
Anaemia happens if the red blood cells level in our blood goes lesser than required. The iron deficiency anemia occurs in your body when you do not have ample iron content. Iron is required by the body to produce haemoglobin, a type of protein. This is the protein which plays the role of transiting oxygen to all tissues of our body. Hence, haemoglobin is highly vital for our muscles and tissues to function their best. If there is less iron in our blood stream, rest of our body will not get the quantity of oxygen required.

Iron deficiency anemia

This condition could be common but a lot of people will not realize they’ve got Anaemia. There is a possibility that you might be experiencing all symptoms for months without actually knowing what is causing it!
Anaemia in Childbearing-Aged Women
The highly common reason for the iron deficiency Anemia in women is the iron loss in their blood as a result of pregnancy or heavy menstruation. A bad diet or some bowel diseases which impacts how body obtains Iron, could also result in the iron deficiency. Doctors usually treat this condition with changes in diet or including iron supplements.
What Is The Cause of Iron Deficiency Anemia?
As per American Society of Hematology, deficiency of iron is the most obvious cause of Anaemia. Plenty of reasons could be listed as to why one gets iron deficiency. The list is as follows.
Let’s discuss some copper health benefits that you must know.

1. Inadequate Intake of Iron
Consuming very less iron for a long period of time could cause iron deficiency in the body. Edibles like eggs. Meat, leafy green vegetables are enriched with iron. Since iron is vital during the period of quick growth as well as development, young children and pregnant women might require more iron enriched foods in their everyday diet.

2. Blood Loss During Menstruation or Pregnancy
Childbearing-aged women face this as it is a common cause for the deficiency. Since too much blood is lost while giving birth to a child or while bleeding, iron deficiency occurs.

3. Bleeding Internally
Some medical conditions could result in internal bleeding, and this could lead to deficiency in iron further turning into Anaemia. Instances like stomach ulcers, polyps in intestines or colon or even colon cancer cause internal bleeding. Frequent use of painkillers like aspirin may also result in stomach bleeding.

4. Incapability of Absorbing Iron
Some surgeries or disorders which impacts the intestines could also affect on how our body absorbs the mineral. Though you get enough iron in the meal, intestinal surgery or celiac disease like gastric bypass could put a constraint on how much iron your body absorbs.

Who All Face The Risk of Iron Deficiency Anemia?
Anaemia us a very usual condition and may occur in men as well as women regardless of age and region. Few people could be at a higher risk of suffering from Anaemia compared to others. They are-

Women who are aged enough to bear a child
People who follow poor diet
Pregnant women
Those who frequently donate their blood
Infants and kids, specially those who have premature birth or are going through a growth disorder
Vegans who do not substitute meat with iron enriched food


If at all you are at a risk of facing the iron deficiency anemia, you need to consult your doctor to check if dietary changes or blood testing could help you!
What Symptoms Can Possibly Occur?
Let me tell you, the symptoms of Anaemia could be very subtle at the beginning. You might not even recognise them. As per the American Society of Hematology, a lot of people do not even get to know they have got Anaemia until their routine blood test is done.
There are plenty of symptoms for Anaemia and they are;

Weakness
Usual fatigue
Breath shortness
Pale skin
Unusual cravings for eating substances which aren’t edible, like clay or dirt
Dizziness
Crawling or tingling feeling in your legs
Soreness or tongue swelling
Cold feet and hands
Headaches
Brittle nails

How Can This be Diagnosed?
Your doctor could diagnose for Anaemia with the help of blood tests. These tests include:
1. CBC or Complete Blood Cell Test
This test is generally the very first test your doctor will use. This test will measure the quantities of every compound present in your blood including;

Red blood cells
Haemoglobin
White blood cells
Platelets
Haematocrit

This tests gives information on your blood which comes handy while diagnosing for the iron deficiency. The information obtain will include;

The level of haemoglobin
The haematocrit level, which is basically the blood volume percentage made of red blood cells
The size of your red blood cells

The CBC test is usually conducted as a portion of physical examination that happens routinely. It is a great indicator of the overall health of a person. It could also be conducted before a surgery. The test is helpful in diagnosing this sort of Anaemia as a lot of people with the iron deficiency won’t realize the issue.
2. Other Tests
As mentioned previously, Anaemia can be diagnosed with the CBC test. The doctor could also ask for extra blood tests in order to check how critical your problem is and aid in determining treatments. They could also send your blood under the microscope for examination. Such blood tests would give out information such as;

Size of RBC and also the color
RBCs would be pale in terms of color if there’s an iron deficiency
Level of iron in your blood
Levels of ferritin
Ferritin is that protein which helps with storage of iron in our body. Lesser ferritin levels show low storage of iron
Total Iron Binding capacity or TIBC
Transferrin is one protein which helps in transportation of iron. TIBC test is done to realize the quantity of transferrin which is carrying mineral

Tests Conducted for Internal Bleeding
Your doctor, if concerned about internal bleeding causing Anaemia, can suggest extra tests which you would need. One of the tests you may have to undergo is decal occult which is used to find blood in your excretion. If there is blood in the feces, it may indicate you are bleeding internally in the intestine.

The doctor may also suggest endoscopy wherein a tiny camera in a flex tube is made use of to view the gastrointestinal tracts lining. An Upper endoscopy or EGD test will let the doctor examine stomach, esophagus, and upper portions of your small intestine. Lower endoscopy or colonoscopy will let the doctor examine the Colin lining and the lower parts of your large intestine. Such tests will aid in recognizing the sources of gastrointestinal bleeding.
What Could Be The Probable Health Complications in People Suffering From Anaemia?
Many cases of iron deficiency or Anaemia are subtle and do not result in complications. The problem can be corrected easily. But if the iron deficiency is not treated, it could lead to various problems such as;
1. Irregular or Rapid Heartbeat
If you are anemic, the heart will pump extra blood in order to cater to the low supply of oxygen. This could also result in irregular heartbeats. In critical cases, it may also lead to enlarged heart or even heart failure.
2. Complications During Pregnancy
In critical cases of Anaemia, a child could take birth prematurely, that too with very low weight. Many pregnant women go for iron supplements and include it as a part of their prenatal care in order to avoid this.
3. Slow Growth Among Infants and Children
Infants and kids who are extremely deficient in the mineral could experience delayed growth as well as slow development. They are also prone to infections and are likely to catch some.
How Can The Iron Deficiency Anemia be Treated?
1. Diet
Your diet must include the listed foods which can potentially help avoid or treat iron deficiency.

iron-fortified cereals
red meat
nuts
dark leafy green vegetables
dried fruits

2. Iron Supplements
You could go for iron tablets which help you restore the levels of iron in the body. If it is possible, you must take iron pills when you’re on empty stomach and this will help your body absorbs iron better. If they cause problems to your stomach, you could take the pills with your meals. You might have to intake these supplements for many months.

Besides, even vitamin C aids you in absorbing iron. If you are going for iron tablets, your doctor may advise you that consuming them along with Vitamin C such as citrus or orange juice could help!
How to Treat The Cause for Bleeding?
Iron supplements wouldn’t help if it is excessive bleeding that is causing the iron deficiency anemia.

If women happen to take birth control pills, it could decrease the quantity of mensural bleeding every month.

In many extreme cases, blood transfusion could replace the iron content and loss of blood very quickly.
Can Iron Deficiency Anemia be Avoided?
If it is caused by inadequate intake of iron, Anaemia could be avoided by consumption of foods enriched with iron. New moms must ensure they feed their newborns with their breast milk.
Foods that are rich in iron are;

Meats like pork, chicken, beef and lamb
Leafy green vegetables like spinach
Beans
Raisins and various other dry fruits
Eggs
Seafood like sardines, oysters, shrimp and clams
Instant cereals that are dry and iron-fortified
Squash seeds and pumpkin
Green and red bell peppers
Citrus fruits
Broccoli
Tomatoes

Conclusion
If at all you are going through the symptoms of iron deficiency anemia, I suggest you consult your doctor on an immediate basis. Self-treating and self-diagnosis of iron deficiency could result in adverse effects on your health or even extra iron content in the blood. Stay healthy, stay happy!

Politics › Lagos 4th Mainland Bridge Project (2016), Edges Closer! by gabonsky(op): 9:34pm On Dec 24, 2016
The 4th Mainland Bridge Project (2016) edges closer this week to reality with a number of key announcements and deliverables associated with the project.

On Tuesday the 29th of November 2016, His Excellency Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, of Lagos State, announced the inclusion of the Project in forthcoming budgets and that the Project will start on site in 2017. This announcement is in keeping with the "Specimen Design" for the Project also being complete this month which incorporates a 35 Volume document encompassing many of the design & traffic challenges assessed by Advanced Engineering Consultants (AEC) in getting to this stage.

"This Specimen Design has been completed within 6 months, of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) being signed on the 25th of May last, and is now moving on to full Preliminary Design so as to commence on site in 2017", says Project Director Ger Horgan of GESC.

The Environmental & Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) has been registered with the Federal Ministry of the Environment in Abuja and the site verification has already been carried out. The detailed Ground Investigation is about to commence and this will allow for further geotechnical assessments to be carried out so as to optimize the Engineering of the proposed alignment.

The project estimate continues to reduce as further investigative details become available and it is hoped by December 2016 that a final realistic "budget estimate" will be available.

There has been much interest from Funding Agencies & Contractors with Funds available, which highlights the significant benefit the project brings to Lagos State and also the attractiveness as a viable project.

Science/Technology › World’s First ‘solar Panel Road’ Opens In France by gabonsky(op): 9:27pm On Dec 24, 2016
World’s first ‘solar panel road’ opens in France at Tourouvre-au-Perche in Normandy.

The 1 KM road could generate enough electricity to power the street lights. The panels have been covered in a silicon-based resin that allows them to withstand the weight of passing big rigs.

As per Colas France could become energy independent by paving only a quarter of its million KMs of roads. Solar panels have become increasingly popular in recent years as cost of operating them has come down significantly, making it cost competitive with traditional energy sources.
