| Mummified body of German adventurer found inside yacht (photo) Posted: 29 Feb 2016 12:11 PM PST  Police say the cause of death was unclear, but there were no signs of foul play. Inside the yacht, police found the yacht's radio, GPS and other valuable items... Local police spokeswoman Goldie Lou Siega in the Philippines said: "We have no evidence of a second person aboard and no weapon was found on the yacht." Dr Mark Benecke, a forensic criminologist in the German city of Cologne, told BILDnewspaper: "The way he is sitting seems to indicate that death was unexpected, perhaps from a heart attack." The German embassy in the Philippine capital, Manila, has been notified and is now working on locating Bajorat's family. He is believed to have a daughter who works as the captain of a freight vessel and a wife he separated from in 2008 who later died from cancer. | ||||||||
| Shocking Revelation! See The Most Overlooked Cause Of Belly Fat Posted: 29 Feb 2016 11:54 AM PST  If you've been working out regularly and watching what you eat, but you still can't seem to get rid of that stubborn belly fat, there may be a "hidden" cause - and it has nothing to do with diet or exercise. So, today I want to talk about why it's so hard for you to get rid of belly fat, explain what could be the hidden cause (most people never consider this), and give you simple and effective ways you combat your stubborn "ab flab" Alright, let's dive right in… www.healthandwellnessplan.org  The reason stomach fat is so difficult to get rid of is because it's heavily influenced by your hormones. Don't get me wrong…your stomach fat isn't the only area that's controlled by your hormones, but it happens to be the most sensitive. > >So what does this mean? >It means that exercising and eating right may not be enough to get rid of your stubborn belly fat. > >And here's one hormone in particular, that most people don't even consider…which could be causing you to retain belly fat.  Your cortisol hormone. >Cortisol is your stress hormone. It's an important hormone that's essential for human survival. > >Whenever your body experiences any type of stress (whether it be mental or physical) your body secretes cortisol, which then initiates a cascade of other physiological responses necessary for your body to keep functioning. > >You can look at it like an emergency generator. If the main source of electricity goes out in your area from some unforeseen incident, the emergency generator kicks in to give you power until the main source is fixed. But the emergency generator isn't meant to provide power for the long term. And that's a lot like your cortisol. Cortisol turns "off" many of the normal physiological mechanisms and turns "on" many temporary physiological mechanisms (the operative word being "temporary"). > >In a normal situation, cortisol production only lasts for a short period of time and afterwards, all metabolic functions go back to normal. But this is where things can go wrong, because in many cases these stresses that cause your body to secrete cortisol occur way too often and stay "on" for way too long. > >When you're body experiences constant stress, it continuously secretes cortisol and that's when cortisol becomes counterproductive to your body. > >And depending on how long and how much cortisol you have circulating in your body, it can seriously compromise your health and alter your metabolic process causing you to gain stubborn unrelenting belly fat! Researchers at Yale University found slender women who had high cortisol also had more abdominal fat. > >So, if you tend to gain belly fat easily and have a difficult time getting rid of it, there's a strong likelihood that you're producing too much cortisol. > >Here are 2 questions I want you to ask yourself to see if there's something other than diet and exercise that may be hindering your progress: > >Are you sleeping enough? Getting enough quality sleep is the most important thing you can do to minimize stress, optimize your health and help your body to burn more fat! During your sleep, your body utilizes fat as it's primary source of fuel. So getting enough sleep is key to making sure that your body burns off more fat! If you have a hard time sleeping, try reading a book (non-fiction or self improvement type of books tend to work best). Sleeping in complete darkness also helps you sleep more soundly. Get rid of electrical equipment like phones, computers, TV's, and radios in your bedroom (or at least switch them off when you go to sleep). Studies have found that the less electrical magnetic field you're exposed to, the better your mind and body rests. > >Do you feel tired all of the time? If you're constantly feeling tired, it means you're not recovering enough. Inadequate recovery means that your body still has cortisol coursing through your body. In situations like this, it's best to give yourself a break and and let your body rest. Your only going to do your body more disservice by pushing through the fatigue. In fact, you'll only be increasing your cortisol production and making your belly fat even more difficult to burn off. > >If you answered yes to any of these questions, cortisol may be to blame. And if so, the solution is pretty easy…sleep, rest and recover! Improving these three seemingly unrelated (but very important!) factors can help reduce your cortisol, so you can finally start burning fat off your stomach. > >And if you feel like you're already getting enough sleep & rest, then let me reveal to you A Natural Method To Get A Flatter Belly, Lose Weight, Overcome Food Cravings, Enjoy Nutritious Nigerian Diet, Achieve A Dream Body In 4 Weeks Without Ever Starving Yourself. >Quickly visit: => www.healthandwellnessplan.org on that page, you will Discover… How you can get a Flatter Belly within 4 weeks even if everything else that you have tried didn't work for you. >www.healthandwellnessplan.org How to lose weight Naturally within 4 weeks using some Natural plants. >www.healthandwellnessplan.org How to get rid of unwanted Fat And its Toxin from your body by detoxifying with a special natural plant extract.

| Abducted girl Ese Oruru speaks out, wants to remain in Kano with her lover Posted: 29 Feb 2016 12:12 PM PST  According to Premium Times, Ese Oruru, who was allegedly kidnapped from Bayelsa State to Kano, said she was not interested in reuniting with her family and denied reports that she was abducted from her home in Bayelsa State. In an exclusive audio recording obtained by the online publication today, the girl also said she eloped with her lover to Kano in order to convert to Islam. "My name is Aisha Chuwas. I am 17-year-old. I came here to be a Muslim and I will stay here." Human rights lawyer, Huwaila Mohammed, who was given access to the girl at the Zonal Police Headquarters in Kano, said upon interrogation, she understood the girl was never forced to convert to Islam. She also had access to Miss Oruru's lover and established that he is just 18 years old, 'not anywhere above 20'. "I was surprised when I saw a very small boy. He is just 18-year old. I was enraged thinking that it was an old man involved in the saga. From the way I see it, they eloped not because of religion but love," she said. Source: Premium Times | ||||||||

| The hate on Omoni Oboli & trailer of her new movie, Wives on Strike Posted: 29 Feb 2016 08:34 AM PST  The women, who hilariously interpret their roles, set a series of events in motion to give the movie many moments of laughter without missing a beat on the reason for everyone to know why they are on strike. Wives On Strike, which features other prominent acts like Uche Jombo, Chioma Akpotha, Julius Agwu, Kalu Ikeagwu, Kenneth Okonkwo, Kehinde Bankole,Ufoma Mcdermot among other acts, further portrays how multi-dimensional Omoni has become with her movies. From a honourable house wife, to a prostitute, to a village girl, and now the rural communal woman, Omoni Oboli, has shown the world that she is indeed a raw talent that can nail any identity at any point in time, even if she is a chic mother of 3 amazing boys, and still looking ever young at 37.

| NFF releases 'strong worded' statement explaining it's relationship with Sunday Oliseh Posted: 29 Feb 2016 07:40 AM PST  In order to clear a lot of falsehood that has been making the rounds in sections of the media following the resignation of Coach Sunday Oliseh, the Nigeria Football Federation has decided to make a statement regarding events relating to the employment and resignation of the Super Eagles Coach. First of all, the NFF would like to state that contrary to what few members of the media would have Nigerians believe, the appointment of Mr. Sunday Oliseh as Head Coach of the Super Eagles was thoroughly thought-through; it went through a meeting between himself and the Technical Committee and was ultimately approved by the entire Executive Committee of the NFF. The NFF had the best of intentions in hiring Mr. Sunday Oliseh, and despite the misgivings about his temperament (he himself alluded to this at his unveiling) he was seen as a bright young Coach able to take the Super Eagles to new heights. This view was premised on his resume, (having played in various countries around the world), his undoubted football knowledge and his currency of ideas (being a respected former Super Eagles Captain and a member of the FIFA Technical Study Group). The fact that from Mr. Oliseh's perspective, the relationship had gone so awry to the extent that he resigned his appointment is unfortunate because despite the temporary financial difficulties which crept into the relationship in the last 4 (four) months or thereabouts, the NFF Executive Board with its penchant for long term planning took a long term view of his appointment and remains confident that with a little more patience on the part of the Coach, things would have turned around for the better in the long run. The NFF seizes the opportunity to apologise to Nigerians for the situation that we, through no fault of ours, find ourselves, but assures the teeming Super Eagles supporters that we shall patriotically remain committed to the success of the team. This is already evidenced by the swiftness with which we have reconstituted the coaching crew and received the assurances of the patriotism of the Super Eagles players who have vowed to fight for the Nigerian flag and spirit, and ensure that not only do we qualify for the African Nations Cup but also that our long term goals are not derailed. The NFF gives the foregoing assurances despite the circumstance which has arisen with the untimely resignation of Coach Sunday Oliseh and despite the fact that the decision was taken unilaterally without discussion with NFF or any of its officials or board members, without giving the requisite 1 (one) months notice as stipulated in his contract immediately after he was paid his arrears of salary and housing allowance after his request to travel across Europe to visit potential call ups for the matches against Egypt was approved by the President of the NFF and; despite the fact that we have crucial qualifying matches to play next month With regard to the various allegations made against the NFF by Mr. Sunday Oliseh in his letter of resignation and in the media, the NFF as a responsible organisation feels the need to this once respond to those allegations as follows, and thereafter continue with the job at hand without any further distractions: Mr. Sunday Oliseh in his letter of resignation and in various reports has talked about not being respected, and not getting the support of the NFF. The NFF categorically denies these allegations and notes that from the time of his employment the NFF had always shown him respect which, unfortunately, not always reciprocated. In order to encourage him, to exhibit an intention to put the issue of financial disagreements with coaches behind the Federation and to help the new Coach quickly settle down, the NFF proceeded to pay him three months' salary in advance – something that had never happened previously in Nigeria football. The NFF introduced him to our principal partners/sponsors in order to show that the Federation had total regard for and was fully supporting its coach. The President thereafter reiterated the vision of the NFF board and its mandate to the new coach to build a new and vibrant team that the Government and people of this country would be proud of. The NFF has since then allowed him to carry on his duties without interference. The NFF also purchased for Mr. Oliseh a brand new car to ease his movement locally whenever he was in Nigeria. With regard to the allegation that he was not supported, it is pertinent to note that Mr. Oliseh himself had on numerous occasions expressed gratitude for the support he had received from the NFF and in particular from the NFF President and Vice Presidents. The NFF makes bold to say that he has been supported throughout his short tenure as the Super Eagles coach. Not only have his requests and choice of training camps been accepted, his choice of players have never been interfered with, his choice of venues have all but once been accepted and even where not accepted, an explanation was promptly given which was duly appreciated and accepted by the coach. Only a few minutes before sending an email intimating the NFF of his resignation, Mr. Oliseh had written a mail to the NFF President about his trip across Europe to see players, which the NFF President had approved the day before. For the competitive matches against Tanzania, Burkina Faso and Swaziland that the Super Eagles played away from home under Coach Oliseh, the NFF despite its financial constraints flew the team by chartered aircraft at the request of the coach. It is pertinent to note also that, despite its financial constraints, the NFF acceded to Coach Oliseh's insistence on camping the CHAN team in South Africa. His show of appreciation was to go on air to talk about spending his money to buy food for the team in South Africa. The truth is that the team stayed at a world -class facility where buffet feeding had been arranged. Coach Oliseh opted to buy Nigerian food for the players on two (2) occasions, without alerting the NFF or the hotel management. Food meant for the team on those two occasions went to waste. In support of Coach Oliseh and in a bid to give him some confidence regarding the issue of finance, the NFF top echelon traveled to Rwanda at their own expense along with the Minister of Youth and Sports, in order that the coach and the team would have the opportunity of hearing first-hand from the Minister the challenges the NFF was facing with regards to funds. The Minister told the team clearly that the financial problems were not the fault of the NFF and promised to do his utmost to resolve it forthwith. After the CHAN championships in Rwanda, the Technical Committee requested for the usual technical report of the Championship but Coach Oliseh wrote a terse email back to the secretary of that committee stating that he did not report to them. Even though by the terms of his contract he was obliged to return to Nigeria at least 2 weeks to any Super Eagles match and is obliged to watch our domestic league matches from time to time, one can count how many local league matches he has watched and one can point out that he did not return to Nigeria before he went to the CHAN championship on the grounds that he was ill. Yet, he went to South Africa and Rwanda but did not return with the team to Nigeria The NFF has accommodated these only in support of the ultimate success of the coach and the team. On resumption, Coach Oliseh wanted to sack the entire backroom staff of the Super Eagles including the media officer saying that he could not work with them. A potentially messy situation was aborted by the firm position of the General Secretary and the President on the matter. The coach virtually tore the team apart with his impulsive style of man management, for example if not for the way the NFF President and Vice Presidents handled the matter, his disagreement with erstwhile captain Vincent Enyeama would have seen all the senior players quit the Super Eagles. Contrary to the terms of his contract, Coach Oliseh went on air several times to talk about the NFF's finances and in a derogatory manner. He went on air to insult Nigerians in what is now known as his 'YouTube rant' wherein he made serious allegations against the Nigeria media, which he has failed to substantiate. In it, he also noted that he didn't want the job of the Super Eagles Chief Coach but was prevailed upon to accept it. From the foregoing, it is clear that without claiming to be perfect and working under considerable financial difficulties, not only did the NFF support Mr. Sunday Oliseh in his capacity as Chief Coach of Super Eagles, it actually showed lots of restraint in the face of aggravated impulsive behaviour by the coach bordering in some cases on insubordination. In closing this Statement there are a few things we must point out: We find it strange though that, after complaints of non -payment, Mr.Oliseh waited to receive monies owed him before resigning. Two days before his resignation, he had passionately appealed that we unite as one force to fight the battle on the football field with the Egyptian national team. We had no idea he was selling a dummy. For the avoidance of doubt, Mr. Sunday Oliseh RESIGNED and was not SACKED. We bear no grudges against the coach and wish him well in his future endeavours. | ||||||||
