Fashion Faceoff: Jennifer Lopez vs. Julianne Hough

This fashion battle is on! The adorable Julianne Hough recently challenged style diva Jennifer Lopez by wearing the same Rachel Zoe Fall 2011 tuxedo dress J.Lo did last summer in a different color only four months apart. But did the former "Dancing With the Stars" pro or the "American Idol" judge walk away with the victory? It's time for us to decide just who wore it better.

Jennifer Lopez, 42, showed off her toned gams in a short, white version of the dress in Paris on June 15. She matched it with movie star-cool sunglasses, a snakeskin clutch, white pumps, and, of course, some of that J.Lo bling in the form of H. Stern jewels. Julianne Hough, 23, wore the same design in black for a screening of her flick "Footloose" in NYC on October 12. She also donned black heels and a black clutch.

The shape of this creation is chic, no matter the color or styling. However, as far as I'm concerned, Jenny from the Block rocks it better in this case, thanks mostly to the perfectly snug fit. The white hot hue of the garment, which highlights her signature glow, as well as the sparkling accessories are simply icing on the cake. And with that, I say Jennifer's the winner. Do you agree?

Suwe, who was there with his lawyers  Mr. Bamidele Aturu  and Mr Adindu Ogwuzor, said  his arrest was already ordered by people in power even before he arrived at the airport, because the moment he was sited at the airport, he was told to report to the office of the NDLEA, even before he was tested.

He noted that some powerful people must have instructed the NDLEA to ensure he was properly and publicly humiliated, because he was chained in the legs like a dangerous criminal before he was placed in front of a scanner. It’ll be recalled that the actor was later released after spending 24 days in the custody of the agency, and after the entire world closely followed his 25 bowel movements.

Oshodi/Isolo LG Boss Deny Sending Thugs To Batter Actor Ayo Badmus

Some days ago, popular actor, Ayo Badmus, alleged that he was battered by thugs guarding the Chairman of Oshodi L.G.A, Hon Bolaji Ariyoh. (If you missed it, read it here). Well, the LG boss, via his media people, are denying they had anything to do with the beating. They claim the actor had a falling out with some men at the event, and it had nothing to do with them.

A press statement from the office of the Oshodi/Isolo Local Government boss below...

    The much spread rumor and campaign of calumny issued by a Nollywood actor, AYO BADMUS, on his alleged humiliation and beating, ordered by the OSHODI/ISOLO LOCAL GOVERNMENT Chairman is nothing but a complete ruse fabricated to damage the image of the Honorable Chairman and create some frivolous attention and gain unnecessary sympathy for himself.

More when you continue...
The visionary and hardworking Oshodi/Isolo Chairman is a core fan of our own very Nollywood stars, someone who will never stop to support and promote our culture both at the local and International Level. It is so regrettable to imagine how cheap the actor is going around, spreading fake rumors and claiming to have been badly beaten by some faceless thugs, as ordered by the Chairman's elder brother, a quiet, reserved and friendly fellow at the Chairman's Sallah celebration that attracted the presence of notable Nigerians like GBENGA ADEYINKA 1st and some others who witnessed the occasion and could attest to this truth. We however found it necessary to address the issue and correct whatever ill impression that would have registered in peoples mind and confirming the story as untrue and unfounded.

127 Zimbabwean Women Infected With HIV During Drug Trial

It's not being spread around the media much but the latest news from a Tenofovir trial in Zimbabwe is that 'about' 127 people taking the drug became infected with HIV. The article is not clear but it sounds like this is approximately 20% of those taking part, which is an alarming rate even in a high prevalence country like Zimbabwe.

The trial was for the vaginal gel and cream and oral versions of Tenofovir and the oral use of the drug has now been dropped. A spokesperson for the trial said those who became infected in the Vaginal and Oral Interventions to Control the Epidemic (VOICE) trial "were part of a group that was always at risk of infection", which probably means they were thought to be at risk of sexual transmission. But, as is usual with these trials, it appears to be assumed that all infection is sexual.

The women are said to be sexually active married or single women, which doesn't suggest very high risk. The fact that they live in a high prevalence area simply begs the question of why HIV transmission should be so high there.

It is not clear if the women's partners will be tested and if any attempt will be made to establish exactly how they were infected, for example, if they faced any non-sexual risks. After all, there may be a big difference between the effectiveness of these drugs in preventing sexual and non-sexual transmission. Trial participants may even have faced some risks through the activities of the trial itself. In addition to the 630 Zimbabweans taking part, there were another four thousand from other countries, who now have to be tested to find out how many of them were infected.

AFTERMATH OF BABA SUWE SAGA:NDLEA DRILLS STELLA DAMASUS

This period is indeed a bad one for Nollywood actors and actresses as the men of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) seem to have taken an unusual but targeted interest in them over their alleged drug related offences. First it was Babatunde Omidina popularly known as Baba Suwe and now it is Stella Damasus.

Last week Thursday,10 of November 2011,popular actress Stella Damasus was thoroughly drilled by men of the anti-drug agency over what was suspected to be an attempt by the fair complexioned actress to smuggle drugs suspected to be cocaine to Dubai.

According to our source,the actress was taken into the custody of the NDLEA where she was searched thoroughly in a very rigorous pattern involving series of scans being carried out on her before she was let loose by the men of the agency. Interesting is the fact that Stella Damasus was delayed by the Drug Law Enforcers to the extent that she even missed her flight to Dubai and had to travel on another flight after she had been released.

The actress later twitted” Today I regret being a Nollywood Star” on her Twitter account as friends and fans of the actress questioned her on what could have necessitated the comment. Efforts to reach the actress to comment on the issue proved abortive as at press time,as she was said to be enjoying her holiday in Dubai

On getting home,the source continued,Monalisa sent Nse packing not minding the time of the day.With nowhere to go, Nse moved into Four-point by Sheraton Hotel where she lodged for a couple of days before concerned friends salvaged the situation and she finally got an apartment of her own in Lagos.

Steve Jobs 'Kill' iPhone 5

All the gadget enthusiast hoping will come out of Apple iPhone 5 this year. Instead of sticking even the iPhone 4S is now continually problematic. The question hanging them is, 'There is not really an iPhone 5?' According to Business Insider: There! IPhone 5 is a real product. And Apple was almost released it, but at the last minute cancellation. Who else if not Steve JobsSteve Jobs, who had a role, according to Business Insider quotes an anonymous source from Apple.

"Apple has made ​​a prototype iPhone 5, with a bigger screen and form new ones. Some of them even already predict this product will be circulated before December 2011," according to Business Insider. But, the founder of Apple who is also the most influential figure in the company, Steve Jobs, 'kill' the product. What article? There are no rumors that could be validated. Rumors circulating saying, Jobs kill iPhone because it does not like the shape.

As you know, the iPhone's distinctive shape. Unlike the form of smart phones made ​​by Nokia, HTC, and Samsung. The big screen in the iPhone, according to him, will be followed to the Samsung or HTC. All things Android is allergic to Jobs. Apple enthusiast knew the character of Jobs in the design. He adopts a minimalist and shape similarity. So make a product similar to the iPhone with Android could be devastating, according to Jobs, the philosophy of the product. Apple iPhone can no longer see the similarities from generation 1 to 4.

Is this correct? Steve Jobs certainly could not answer, because it already passed away. While other Apple officials? We wait for their clarification. Is there really a murder in Cupertino (Apple HQ).

Gunmmen kill Daniel Amokachi's younger brother in Kaduna

Two unidentified gun men suspected to be armed robbers yesterday killed the younger brother of ex-super eagles player and super eagle's assistant coach, Daniel Amokachi.

Twitter now used to offer courses in 140-word bites linked to longer articles, seminars, or podcasts.

Numerous people offer courses on Twitter, using tiny tweets of 140 words or less for each of hundreds, even thousands of tweets offering information as in a seminar, course, or instruction in anything from CPR to how to organize the chapters of a novel you're writing. Check out a November 12, 2011 news release from the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions 2011, "Can Twitter save lives?"

Discussion about cardiac arrest on Twitter is common and represents a new opportunity to provide lifesaving information to the public, according to new research from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. The Penn investigators presented two studies examining cardiac arrest-information exchange on the social media site recently at the American Heart Association's annual Scientific Sessions.

How many other courses are being taught tweet by tweet on Twitter, and are these courses free or are organizers of the seminars or online courses charging tuition? See, Pupils to study Twitter and blogs in primary shake-up | Education. Also see the sites, Courses Taught | Evrim Baran's Web Home, Top Online Colleges on Twitter - Follow Online Colleges and Practical Advice for Teaching with Twitter. Some writers offer the equivalent of courses, for example, many writers have written thousands of online articles on one subject and have tweeted the location and title of each article.

One example, might be my more than 2,200 tweets, each one about a topic in a specific category such as nutrition, media & culture, women's issues, or health-related reseach trends and topics to explore. Other writers actually offer seminars, podcasts, or classes online by tweeting the website links to the article, blog, video, or podcast as part of the course. It's a great way to combine social media with teaching, especially for freelance teachers of various subjects.

And Twitter also is about links to learning about subjects or topics you always wanted to understand more clearly or find information and links to further research. Perhaps tweets can lead to more free education, like a global public library. Some software can even translate languages so you can learn more about what informs you. Of course, the other side of the coin is learning through entertainment such as anthropology or history through fiction or factual information through interactive links.

Evelyn Lauder: the creator of breast cancer’s pink ribbon passes away

The woman behind the pink ribbon movement for breast cancer awareness passed away at the age of 75 Evelyn Lauder, the woman behind the ever famous pink ribbon campaign for breast cancer died on Wednesday, leaving behind a legacy which has helped millions of people worldwide. According to reports, Lauder died on Saturday at her Manhattan home from complications of nongenetic ovarian cancer.

The pink ribbon campaign for breast cancer has helped women by reminding them to get their breast examination done regularly so that chances of death by cancer can be reduced. If breast cancer is detected in its early stages, then it can be controlled but for that it is necessary that women get their physical breast examination done regularly.

Evelyn Lauder was a long standing executive at cosmetics giant Estee Lauder Cos., which is a company known for their top-of-the-line cosmetics. Estee Lauder was founded by Evelyn’s mother-in-law and she started working there when the company was still in its infant stages.

In 1992, Evelyn Lauder worked with her friend Alexandra Penney, who was the former editor-in-chief of Self magazine and both of them created the pink ribbon campaign for breast cancer awareness. The intention behind the movement was just to remind people with the help of this small pink ribbon, to get their breast examination done. The financing of these ribbons was done by Evelyn and her husband Leonard Lauder, and both of them used to give out free pink ribbons to women who used to shop at their stores.

The small-time effort grew out into a full-scale campaign in which there were fundraising products, $330 million in donations and the designation of October as the Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Out of the donation amount of $330 million, $50 million were donated by Estee Lauder. Evelyn Lauder also started the Breast Cancer Research Foundation and later Evelyn H. Lauder Breast Center at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City was started in 2009 with the help of the donation money.

Initially when the pink ribbon campaign for breast cancer awareness started, very few people knew about it. Some even confused it with the campaign for AIDS awareness but later the pink ribbon campaign became so famous that everyone got to know about its meaning and purpose. The funeral services of Evelyn Lauder will be held later with friends and family present at the services.

Is Spanking A Child Abuse Or Discipline?

With the recent viral youtube video of a judge supposedly disciplining his daughter with a belt, the practice of spanking a child has been in the headlines.  Mainly, the discussion is does “spanking” or “whupping” a child cause more harm than good? Does corporal punishment still have a place in our society? Is it child abuse or old fashion disciplinary measures?

As you would imagine, there are individuals (child psychologists) on both ends of the spectrum. Some same a swat on the bottom of a child is in order, for it reaffirms the verbal message of punishment. While others would say under no circumstance should a parent hit a child, as it only causes the child to become aggressive. Not only that, some behavioral experts say spanking a child only has a short term message of discipline, and the long term message to the child is don’t get caught. Naturally, both sides have statistics to prove their point.

Look at today’s youths. Some are completely unruly. Is it a result of parents not “sparing the rod?” Every where you turn a youth is acting out in school or some other social setting. The language youths use today is worse than sailors (who are supposedly known for their foul mouths). As for manners, forget about it. They don’t exist. Can all this be blamed on generational differences of punishment, or does the problem lie with the youths not being spanked as a child or spanked as a child? (We could dump it all at the foot of pop culture which is a whole different story.)

I am not sure who’s right or who’s wrong.

While growing up, I got my fair share of “spankings” and “whuppings.” I would like to say they made me a better person. Though some might argue, I knew nothing else, so it is natural for me to come to that conclusion. My parents would say to those individuals that they “spared the rod” so that the law enforcement wouldn’t have to. Whatever that means?

I have friends who received the same form of discipline as I did growing up. As adults, however, they decided to take a different approach in punishing their children. The results were mixed. Some said avoiding a spanking worked. A few others said they had to introduce a spanking or two to accompany the timeout process to reaffirm their message of punishment.

Clearly, this is a debate that will go on for sometime. That being said, I do believe there is a difference between spanking a child and beating a child. Unfortunately, the problem is some parents can’t tell the difference and go too far with their spankings which lead to abuse.
