"I love this system and how it allows us to monitor the baby so well! The cameras are easy to install and set up with Wi-Fi and you can mount the cameras over the crib. This allows a full body view that a lot of monitors can't offer. The clarity of the picture (that you get from an app on your smart phone) is amazing and the automatic night vision mode makes seeing baby any time of the day simple--you can check on baby anywhere your smart phone is. I love how versatile this system is and that we can move the cameras anywhere--which means we can use them after baby is out of the crib. It's a great investment for any family and I highly recommend it."
The DXR-8 uses a secure 2.4 GHz FHSS wireless transmission to ensure privacy, gets up to 10 hours of battery life on a single charge, and can switch to audio-only mode with the camera off to save juice. That said, it has gotten panned for a quickly declining battery life (as well as poor range). Still, that hasn’t stopped 24,000 reviewers from giving it an overall 5-star rating on Amazon. In terms of bells and whistles, it features everything parents have come to expect in a monitor: invisible infrared night vision, (no annoying blue light to wake the baby) two-way intercom, room-temperature sensor, and the ability to work with up to four other cameras.
If you want to know everything about your baby, down to the heartbeat — the Angelcare AC315 is our top motion-sensor monitor. The sensor mat slips under the mattress in your baby’s crib, and if it detects no movement after 20 seconds, it sends a loud alarm to the baby and parent units. Its touchscreen can be a little finicky. The Baby Delight is less prone to false alarms; however, our parent testers were concerned that the small clip-on sensor might be a choking hazard.
The best-selling video baby monitor on Amazon is the highly-rated Infant Optics DXR-8 Video Baby Monitor — this impressive product boasts more than 10,000 5-star reviews! Though it’s a little higher in price than other products, the Infant Optics camera’s interchangeable lens system, remote adjust feature, and reliability make it a top pick for parents.
iBaby makes a really confusing range of baby monitors. From cheapest to most expensive this includes the iBaby Monitors M2, M2S, and M2 Plus, iBaby M6, M6T, and M6S, and the new iBaby M7. The M2 series is usually under $100 and is pretty poorly reviewed overall. The M6 series is usually about $125 and is decently reviewed. Finally, the new M7 is brand new and only differs from the M6S in that it has a smell detector and night sky projector that can shine the moon and stars onto the ceiling (our review of the M7 is above). There's truly a lot to love about the iBaby M6S. It looks great, is pretty easy to setup, and has a ton of appealing features. Some highlights are that it uses 1080p high definition video, it senses room temperature and humidity levels, has an air quality sensor (measures the presence of volatile organic compounds or VOCs in the nursery), is dual band wifi compatible (2.4 and 5GHz), and a two-way intercom. It also can record HD videos, remotely pan (rotate) and tilt up/down, and you can setup alerts for motion, sound, and VOCs (from 1 to 4 with 4 being best). So it basically has everything that might be on your list of baby monitor essential features, and we were really excited to set it up. Out of the box, we found it easy to download the app to our smart phone (Android or Apple), connect to the monitor and connect it to wifi, and get things up and running. A couple notes here - first, your wifi password needs to be shorter than 32 characters or the app won't accept it, and second, there is no way to manually set an IP address for the camera. When we used it on our home wifi network, we found that the images were clear and decently fast (low lag), and the night vision was high-quality and not too grainy. We especially liked the pan and tilt features from the app, which allows you to move the camera's view angle around without going into the nursery (and it uses a cool screen-swipe gesture to do it). Once we left our home's wifi connection and tried to connect to the camera from a 4G LTE or a different wifi network, that's when we started to run into problems. It was choppy and laggy, which to be honest is what we expected when attempting to stream 1080p HD video outside of your home network. So we changed the resolution settings on the app (Settings - Display Settings - Resolution) to downgrade it to a lower quality stream; that seemed to help a bit. We also had difficulty connecting to the camera at times, whether we were at home or elsewhere, which was one of the more frustrating things about the iBaby Monitor M6S. The temperature and humidity sensors seemed to work pretty well, and we confirmed their accuracy with a separate thermometer and hygrometer (they were pretty decent in accuracy). For the two-way intercom, the speaker in the camera seemed pretty poor quality so it was hard to hear my voice when attempting to speak to (or sing to) our baby. Finally, we had some issues with alerts coming through to the app as intended. We setup the temperature, humidity, and VOC alerts, and had really intermittent alerts when we tested them out. The temperature and humidity sensors seemed to be reading just fine, they just weren't reliably triggering an alert when they deviated from a range. For example, we set a temperature alert for 80 degrees then blew a hair dryer at the camera; it warmed way up, but the alert wasn't triggered, so that was frustrating. We didn't test the VOC sensor, though one could imagine you could open up a can of paint next to the camera and see if it sends an alert. So overall, we have a decent wifi baby monitor that has some excellent features but also leaves a lot to be desired in the reliability department. Interested?

Larger homes or locations with more than 4 or 5 walls between the camera and parent unit might be stuck with a Wi-Fi monitor. Most of the dedicated monitors only worked up to 4 walls, with the exception of the Project Nursery 4.3 that stopped working at 3. The Philips Avent SCD630 has the longest range for dedicated monitors in this review, with an impressive 92 ft through 5 walls, so if your needs are greater than that, then none of the dedicated monitors we tested are likely to work for your situation. Wi-Fi connected cameras, on the other hand, are limited only by the wireless router location in relation to the camera and parent unit, and the strength and speed of your Wi-Fi connection. If necessary, routers can often be moved, or range extenders added, to increase the range between the components if the Wi-Fi monitor struggles to keep a clear or consistent connection. Purchasing a monitor from a venue with a simple return policy like Amazon means you'll be able to test the monitor in your house to determine how well it works without the risk of being stuck with a useless product.
We got our hands on this KX-HN3001W Panasonic baby monitor in late 2018 for testing, and we were pleasantly surprised with its features, reliability, image quality, and competitive cost. Panasonic has been in the video baby monitor market for many years, and they have consistently improved the quality and reliability of their products along the way. Remember how reliable those old Panasonic DECT cordless phones were when you were a kid? You could drop them, discharge them, lose them in the couch pillows, walk them to the other side of the house, and slam them down for a dramatic ending to a phone call. These devices reminded us of those, mostly out of nostalgia, but also because the portable receiver seemed very well made and reliable. Out of the box, it comes with the color monitor receiver along with a battery and wall plug, the camera and a wall plug, and a wall-mount for the camera. We didn't realize it comes with a wall-mount and were excited to give that a shot. During setup, we mounted the camera to the wall of our test nursery and aimed it at the crib. Once it's mounted to the wall, you can still tilt and pivot it around to get a good pointing direction. Powering it on, it connected quickly to the camera unit; note that you can add two extra camera units as well, and view/control them from the same receiver (those extra cameras aren't available for sale yet). We first tested it during the daytime, and found the color screen to be clear and vivid, the connection to be reliable and relatively long-range (it worked in our back yard), and the battery life to be about 3 hours with the screen on (and unplugged obviously). It goes for much longer in stand-by mode with the screen turned off. During the nighttime, the monochrome night vision worked reasonably well. We found that it worked better if the camera unit was placed relatively close to the crib so you don't have to zoom in and lose image quality. The night vision wasn't on par with the higher-rated baby monitors on this list, but it was pretty decent. After getting the basics down, we tried out some of the cool features. It has a 2-way talk feature that actually sounded pretty good, little melodies and lullabies (or white noise!) you could play to your baby, and the life-changing remote pan/zoom/tilt. That last feature is really a necessity for modern baby cameras so you don't have to tip-toe into your baby's room and try to change the camera angle because it got bumped during the day or your baby decided to sleep on the other side of the crib. The other awesome thing about this baby monitor is that it has room temperature alerts, which allows you to set a safe range (like 68 to 72 degrees) and then it will alert you if the nursery room's temperature ever goes out of that range. There is also a little current temperature indicator on the screen, which is a nice touch. It also has a great stand-by mode that will keep the monitor off until it senses movement or hears your baby (you can set which of these you want to trigger an alert), at which point the device will alert you and turn on. This is great for a few reasons, but mostly because it helps keep battery life up to about 10 hours when kept on stand-by mode. A little extra feature is that you can set the device to automatically turn on a melody or white noise when your baby moves or makes noise - nice touch. A couple more things we noticed. First, the portable device uses micro-USB for charging, which means that you can use most phone or device charger with the same connector type (but not an iPhone charger!). That was convenient for when you're in another room and just want to quickly plug it in, just like you would with your phone. Second, on the bottom of the camera there is the standard tripod screw hole, so you can set it up on any tripod type of device (like those little ones that attach to walls, grip onto crib rails, etc). So there's some really great stuff going on here, and we are very happy to have tested it for inclusion on this list! But there are also some downfalls. First, it is built to control more than one camera, but as of late 2018 we haven't seen the additional cameras available on the market. Second, the night vision isn't up to par with the Infant Optics or other top-rated baby cameras; in fact that was the biggest challenge with this baby monitor, and we are patiently waiting for Panasonic to release a new version with better quality night vision. Third, the display is clearly not high definition, but to be fair the screen isn't really large enough to notice any pixelation. Other that that, you're getting a fantastic baby monitor for only about $120, and that's a lot of bang for the buck! Interested? You can check out the Panasonic Video Baby Monitor here.


Samsung launched the Samsung Galaxy J7, its midrange smartphone last April. The device came with Android Marshmallow 6.0.1 out of the box and has not yet received any major Android update yet. But Samsung has recently pushed out a small firmware update to the devices in India.
The update is of 135MB in size with the firmware version of J710FXXU3AQF6 and has brought in a few little but significant changes to the device.
The most noticeable change is the added support for Samsung Pay mini which is apparently the lite version of Samsung Pay. It is the Samsung’s very own mobile payments service which uses NFC and wireless connectivity for making payments.
The update is also said to fix some bugs and have improved the overall stability of the Samsung Galaxy J7. You may soon get this update along with the Android security patches for June for your device in the form of OTA.
So keep an eye out for the update and make sure that you check for it in the system updates section under About phone in your settings app. Let us know in the comments below if you have received the update yet?

Once upon a time a young lady was sitting on a clearing in the middle of a beautiful old forest. Birds were singing and bees humming. The wind was moving the leafs slightly. She felt tired, her eyes shut and she started to dream. She dreamed that she was able to fly, she reached the top of the canopy and had a fabulous view over the entire forest landscape below. Her eyes drifted over the green surrounding when she suddenly saw something that changed her life forever!
What we do to earth we do to ourselves - What we do to our forests we do to ourselves!
Notes of the Author
My concerns are international and my book compares the wisdom our Native American culture developed about the details of nature to the values our western culture places on nature. Our indigenous people lived with nature and were required to understand the complexity and detail of their surroundings to survive. 34 years of experience with the U.S. Forest Service and after reviewing the curriculum of most forestry schools in the US, I find the focus of our science to be on what we can take from the forests rather than what is needed to keep our remaining forests healthy, vigorous and, above all else maintain or improve the diversity of the forest mosaic. I am suggesting intensive forest management that recognizes and manages the unique individual forest communities that make up our forests. I truly believe that diversity is the key to sustainability, balance and health of our remaining forests. Focusing our efforts on the needs of the remaining forested lands will provide the valuable natural resources from pour forests we have relied on for hundreds of years.Brian E. Stout

Schley County’s game against Brookstone suspended with teams tied in extra innings
Published 11:16 pm Thursday, August 9, 2018
By Staff Reports
ELLAVILLE – After having their first two games of the season postponed due to weather, the Schley County Lady Wildcats Softball Team was hoping to get a complete game in with a win over Region 4-A opponent Brookstone on Thursday, August 9, at Schley County High School.
However, after eight innings of play and the teams deadlocked at 5-5, the game was suspended due to another series of lightning delays. Both teams waited the maximum two hours allowed by the GHSA, but the weather would not cooperate and the game was suspended in the bottom of the eighth inning. They will try to finish the game on Tuesday, September 11, at Brookstone, with Schley County hitting in the bottom of the eighth.
Brookstone scored the first run of the game in the top of the first. However, the Lady Wildcats responded with three in the bottom of the third inning. With two outs and nobody on, Alexis Bradshaw singled to left field. This was followed by a bunt single by Carmen Phillips, advancing Bradshaw to third. Nyiah Kelley then executed a bunt single, scoring Bradshaw to tie the game at 1-1. Phillips advanced to third on the play.
Emily Campbell gave Schley County the lead when she doubled to left field, scoring Phillips and advancing Kelley to third. Saige Whaley then grounded into a fielder’s choice, scoring Kelley. Campbell was forced out at third, but the run had scored before the out was made, giving the Lady Wildcats a 3-1 lead.
Schley County added another run in the bottom of the fifth inning. With one out and a runner on first, Phillips singled, advancing Tamia Kelley to third base. Kelley had led off the inning with a walk. Nyiah Kelley then grounded into a fielder’s choice, scoring her sister Tamia and giving Schley County a 4-1 lead.
However, that lead would not last long. Brookstone scored two runs on five hits in the top of the sixth. Schley County responded by scoring a run in their half of the sixth to make it 5-3 in favor of the Lady Wildcats.
However, the Lady Cougars scored two more runs in the top of the seventh to tie the game at 5-5. Schley County had an opportunity to win the game in the bottom of the seventh. Carmen Phillips led off with a single. Nyiah Kelley was then hit by a pitch, but Phillips was thrown out at second trying to steal. Emily Campbell doubled to center field, advancing Kelley to third base. The Wildcats had the winning run at third base with one out. However, both Saige Whaley and her sister, Landry Whaley, struck out to end the threat.
At this point, Hannah Crawford was pitching for Schley County. She was able to keep the Brookstone hitters at bay in the top of the eighth. As the bottom of the eighth was about to begin, that is when the lightning delays began.
This is the third-straight game that Schley County has been unable to get a game in due to weather. The Lady Wildcats will travel to Rochelle, GA for a non-region game at Wilcox County on Saturday, August 11. First pitch, weather permitting, is scheduled for 2 p.m.

There are things your daughter keeps secretive because they find it more comfortable to share with friends. Among teenage problems they typically communicate with their peers are dating and relationships. It may sound a bit scary to discuss with parents, but eventually, you can step into the discussion to prepare your teenage daughter to face reality.
Why it’s Important to Talk to Your Daughter About Dating
Family is supposed to be the first healthy environment for children to encounter. Thus, your role here as parents are to define a healthy relationship. By having ideas of harmonious and loving connections and managing and maintaining them, your teenage daughter will be more likely to survive in this department. Discussions on dating and relationship advice do not only refer to how to find a boyfriend but more to the concept of general human relations. Moreover, the topic of sex should also be brought up to the table.
How do I Prepare My Daughter for Dating?
Before focusing on dating tips, your teenage daughter should be able to demonstrate a healthy, supportive, and strong bond of friendships with all genders. Because by equipping this model with your daughter, she will learn how to set boundaries, express feelings and emotions, encourage each other, and practice good conflict management. If she cannot exhibit those skills, topics on dating and relationships should be served for later conversations.
Teen Friendships and Mental Health
The main reason the talk should start at the friendship level is that teen friendships can significantly impact teens’ well-being and mental health. Studies show that healthy social integration and interaction make teens feel more confident, accepted, and cared for. Your task as parents are to direct and suggest which environment outside school your teens can thrive in, such as through social hobbies or sport community.
Is Teen Dating Important?
One day you wake up to find your daughter has her young love. At that point, you might panic and be busy providing her with dating tips your parents had prepared you with. You wish that all the pieces of advice could serve as a shield to protect her from heartbreaks. Before you react in ways that can upset and confuse your daughter, consider setting aside time to learn the importance of teen dating.
Listen, you may find this topic uncomfortable to discuss, but teen dating has good benefits. First, teens tend to treat dating as an adventurous relationship. The honeymoon phase that promises a good ending is a highly dynamic roller coaster ride. Imagine your daughter can open up and show her true colors to someone special she keeps dearly, which can also help her develop her sense of identity. The next thing you know, your daughter can be in tune with herself because she has learned about the qualities and values in others.
Conversation with a Positive and Non-judgmental Attitude
Now that you need clarification as to where you should start and step in, you should learn how to be an approachable parent. You should position yourself as your daughter’s safe haven instead of controlling figures that will end up having no idea what your daughter is up to. You can ask her calmly and carefully whenever she feels ready to have a deep conversation with you. You can start asking and talking to your teen about her dating experiences. Actively listen to her without judgment and offer a follow-up conversation until your daughter feels comfortable.
If you find it hard to make your daughter open up and be honest about her relationships, you can begin to share your past romantic experiences where you failed, felt heartbroken, and finally met your spouse. Keep the conversation engaging, and don’t be afraid of not provoking her mind to tell her adventures. When your daughter feels convenient enough around you to expose her romantic stories, appreciate her for being honest.
Tips for Setting Age-appropriate Rules
Preparing your daughter for the dating world means deciding the appropriate age she can start dating from early on. Once your daughter can acknowledge the special bond between two persons, you must remind her that she can have such a romantic connection at a specific age. Be reasonable when establishing dating rules; for instance, your daughter is allowed to date when she’s emotionally mature, can balance her priorities, or already has her side job.
For most parents, 16 is the most appropriate age for young love. However, every teen is different, and the most essential part is to make conversations on love, romantic relationships, crushes, sex, healthy connections, and dating become more habitual at home. Besides setting age-appropriate rules, you and your daughter should also agree on her readiness to start dating.
Discussing Healthy Relationships
As mentioned before, everything starts at home. Preparing and setting rules for your daughter to be ready for dating and relationships means sparing some room for parents to learn their part. Have you established a peaceful and harmonious connection at home? Have you and your spouse already demonstrated a committed, loving bond and be supportive towards one another? Another thing to note is the dynamics between siblings. Your teenage daughter should prove she can handle conflict and communicate openly with other family members.
Instill the idea of healthy relationships in your daughter’s mind through real examples at home and discussions. Once she understands this, you can begin to set parameters and limits to avoid unhealthy relationships, such as deciding on weekend curfew, meeting frequency, no dates on school nights, communication styles, and even set priorities. Signs of a healthy relationship are as follows:
Balance of Power
Who said it’s too early for your daughter to be taught a balance of power? When she enters the dating world, she must be aware that both partners are equal. She and her boyfriend should share mutual respect and support besides feeling safe together. No one should feel pressured to speak their mind and do what they think is right. It is also essential to have their own life outside of their relationship to establish a sense of independence and self-worth. Thus, as the relationship progress, so does personal development.
Remind your daughter that her boyfriend is supposed to be happy and proud of having an active girlfriend with a growth mindset. They should support each other’s hobbies and interests, and they can learn new skills together. Your daughter’s relationships move at an enjoyable pace and must not be a prohibitive factor in her growth.
Ensure your teenage daughter that conflicts are normal in every aspect of life. The most important thing is for her to remain rational and reasonable. Your daughter must always choose to step back and take a pause for a moment to evaluate her position in a conflict. To be constructive and reflective, your daughter needs to develop a sense of empathy and understanding. The conflict they have in the relationship should be their eye-opener to see the bigger picture and broaden their perspectives.
Talking About Sexual Health
Teen dating is as complicated as adult relationships. Helping your daughter navigate this realm means you need to communicate about sexual and reproductive health. Make it an enjoyable regular talk without feeling awkward. If you think this topic is hard to discuss, you might be wrong because it’s harder to avoid.
Sex Education at Home
Without a doubt, sex education is mainly the parents’ job, even though talking to your daughter about sex sounds terrifying at first. Note that this is one of the topics you should start early on. Remember when you taught your daughter the difference between boys and girls? Now you can pick up from where you left off. You can use the topics about physical changes, sexual drive, and sexual desire openly with your daughter. Treat the discussions like other discussions on fun topics.
Encourage your daughter to share their perspectives and listen to her without judgment. When she is heard and understood, it prevents her from being rebellious. Another thing to teach is sexually transmitted diseases.
After all, you want to protect your dear daughter at any cost. If you’ve succeeded in setting the appropriate age for her to start dating, now it’s time to work on the agreed boundaries. Boundaries clearly define what is acceptable for you and your daughter. Emotional and physical limitations are two of the most essential factors that need clear restrictions.
Emotional boundaries refer to how your daughter and her boyfriend regulate feelings and share some confidential information. It also closely correlates with the confidence they establish in the relationship. The other one is physical boundaries covering physical movements like holding hands, hugging, or even sexual activities. Thus, you must set ground rules about sexual contact and consent for your daughter.
Cyber Safety and Social Media in Relationship
If there is one novel thing you want to create another boundary for, it is digital. Your daughter ought to determine her comfort level regarding texting, exposing the relationship on social media, and maybe sexting.
Before panicking, note that online dating is the new normal in this digital era, making cyber safety and dating for your daughter a must-discussed topic. Remember that people are bound to make mistakes while adapting to something new, and parents are no exception. Thus, you should take preventive measures.
Parents must objectively approach online dating like traditional dating, where your daughter may find a healthy relationship online. Yet, some people just want to take advantage of others’ vulnerability. Especially for shy teens, online dating allows them to be more engaging and makes it easier to get self-assurance. Provide information to your daughter that everyone can choose and create their own online persona, so do not be trapped at the risk of spilling too much confidentiality.
When romantic chats turn into in-person meetings, things get more challenging. Reveal the truth that when your daughter talks to someone who seemingly shares the same age as her, it could be a grown-up looking to prey on teens. You can choose to expose them to news about the dangers of online dating so they can be more careful and learn the pattern.
Encouraging Your Daughter to Communicate
This point has the most pivotal benefit of all. The effort you put in and the steps you take to prepare your teenage daughter for love and relationships will only be helpful if you encourage your daughter to practice effective communication.
First, you need to show genuine interest in their lives. This will make your daughter feels cared for and seen. However, you need to be her role model at home. Practice open communication and give constructive feedback whenever your spouse asks your opinion. Being supportive and attentive can also encourage your daughter to trust and be relaxed around you.
Whenever your daughter communicates, listen to her carefully and without judgment. If her points and opinions contradict your principles, demand further explanation instead of defending her.
What Should I Do if My Daughter is Dating Someone I Disapprove of?
We understand that you want to monitor and control everything, especially if your daughter starts having a date. Sometimes the person you project to be the right one for your daughter is far from what your daughter wants. Your daughter deserves better, but she insists on keeping this one.
Before questioning your daughter’s choice of men, start asking yourself. Honestly, what makes you despise him? If it’s because he doesn’t match the image you project, it’s not objective. There is more to him than meets the eye.
Ask Your Daughter
Your next task is to ask your daughter what makes her fall for him in the first place. Prepare yourself to be surprised by her answer, but don’t be judgmental again. Young love tends to weigh superficial attributes into consideration, such as physical appearance, good grades, or the same hobbies.
Never expose your daughter if those qualities she seeks in a partner won’t get the relationship far. Because most of the time, your daughter only cares about the acceptance and lovey-dovey part of the relationship. Bite your tongue to advise her. You’ll get to that phase eventually.
Invite Him Over
You can ask your daughter to bring him over on a friendly occasion such as a family dinner or your birthday celebration. Knowing your daughter’s boyfriend will allow you to weigh him fairly. However, keep your boundaries tact and firm; sometimes, being super friendly can come across as too welcoming and make him feel overconfident.
Trust your teen that she has chosen the best one, even if it’s uncomfortable for you to see your daughter is obsessed with someone you think is out of her league. Thus, keep alert for any changes in behavior. Instead of making attempts to jump in, your best bet is to protect your daughter by preparing her before things go south. Ensure your daughter has strong principles, has set her boundaries right, has built self-esteem, and has a sense of independence.
Teen dating should be fun, exciting, and supportive. So, that’s how you should approach your daughter in the narratives. When you try to make your daughter open up about her dating adventures, please note that the goal is to improve your family’s communication channels. Always actively listen to her without judgment and get excited for her.
A topic about teen dating often comes as the tensest phase in your parenting journey. But if you approach and treat it casually, repetitively, and pay attention to that, you’ll be rewarded with flowing conversations with your daughter. That way, you will easily instill more intriguing topics such as dating online, sex, and reproduction.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the most challenging age to parent a girl?
12-14 years old is the most challenging cohort. Girls begin to be fearless in showing their feelings to opposite genders and are prone to try adult-like habits out of curiosity, such as smoking, drinking alcohol, or sexual attempts. However, every stage of age presents its challenges. For instance, an 8-year-old typically starts pushing their boundaries, or a 3-year-old often throws tantrums.
How can I help my daughter build self-esteem and confidence in her dating life?
Don’t raise her as a pleaser. Instead, teach them to learn and embrace her unique attributes and stand by her principles. Love and support her unconditionally, and if she is interested in developing her hobbies or skills, encourage her to join a supportive community. Familiarize her to spare room for mistakes. If you keep these habits, she will grow a sense of self-respect that will determine her choice in choosing her potential mate.
How can I ensure my daughter feels comfortable talking to me about her dating life?
Make her feel comfortable talking about anything that ever crosses her mind! That way, you will quickly get her to talk about her dating life and seek love advice. Be aware of cross-generation differences that may affect her perspectives. Thus, be prepared for a two-way learning process too.
How do I start the conversation with my daughter about dating?
Start it by sharing your past dating experiences. If you have a hard time adjusting your tone or vibes, imagine you are talking to your close friend. Show her a genuine interest in her stories. Bite your tongue whenever you feel the urge to dictate and judge her.

Minecraft developer Mojang have been celebrating after selling the 10 millionth copy of Minecraft – Pocket Edition. About a month ago, Mojang jumped for joy over the 10 millionth sale of the PC version of Minecraft as well as congratulating Mojang founder Markus “Notch” Persson for reaching 2nd place in Time magazine’s TIME 100 Poll.
Minecraft – Pocket Edition is currently available for iOS and Android devices. Unlike it’s PC counterpart, Minecraft – Pocket Edition is written in C++ rather than in Java and lacks a lot of the content that has been released in other versions.
Mojang hope to remedy the lack of content with an upcoming update that will add the extremely handy iron buckets. Buckets will allow players to pick up and place lava and water spawn blocks to create moats, waterfalls, incinerators and more.
The Minecraft – Pocket Edition update will also bring other additional features that Mojang haven’t revealed yet. Instead they’ve focused their blog post on the many upgrades to the game’s backend that will improve performance, usability and add special features for those running high-end mobile devices.
Lastly, Mojang described the integration of Minecraft Realms into Minecraft – Pocket Edition. Minecraft Realms will allow PC users and mobile users to rent servers from Mojang on which they can run larger, always-on Minecraft sessions. It’s an exciting new development which will undoubtedly open up new possibilities for Minecraft clans as well as bringing in some well deserved cash for Mojang.
Minecraft 1.6 snapshot brings coal blocks and fixes
Fear not Minecraft PC players, Mojang hasn’t forgotten about you! Nathan “Dinnerbone” Adams announced yesterday that a new snapshot version of the highly anticipated Minecraft 1.6 “Mob Update” is ready for download.
Titled “Snapshot 13w18a”, this sneak peak at Minecraft 1.6 mainly contains bug fixes for previously released content as well as fixes for version 1.6 items such as carpets and horses. The most interesting additions however are the new crafting recipes for animal leads and hay bales, and a brand new “coal block”.
It’s not yet known if the coal block has a functional use, like Minecraft 1.5’s Redstone blocks, or if it is simply used for storage purposes. This being said, Mojang have released a picture of a coal block sitting atop a hopper, suggesting that individual pieces of coal may be extracted from a coal block automatically. This would allow for more efficient steam powered mine cart refuelling stations among other contraptions.
What would you use a coal block for? Are you excited about Minecraft 1.6? Are you a Minecraft – Pocket Edition user? Leave us a comment below and let your thoughts be known!

A-Gas, a specialist in the management of full lifecycle specialty chemicals, has been shortlisted in three categories at the annual RAC Cooling Industry Awards.
The UK branch of the global business has been named as a finalist in both the Refrigeration Product of the Year and the Refrigeration Innovation of the Year categories for its new oil disposal service.
Faye Maddocks, Commercial Manager at A-Gas UK, explained, “We have developed a new process which will allows us – through our wholesalers – to recover contaminated oil in containers, safely and securely. This means that the old oil is disposed of responsibility through a strictly monitored waste management programme at licensed premises. It removes the burden from the contractor, saves time and minimises cost.”
“We are delighted to be one of the finalists. Disposing of contaminated oil is an age-old problem in our industry and we’ve come up with an easy way to help contractors meet their environmental responsibilities.”
In addition, A-Gas International has been shortlisted as a finalist in the International Achievement of the Year category for its new group website.
Now in its 12th year, the RAC Cooling Industry Awards champions the leading innovations and environmental successes in the refrigeration and air conditioning industry. This year the awards will take place at the London Hilton in Park Lane on 28th September.


The singer and producers at first reached a compromise, agreeing that 7 Rings would be part of a medley that Grande was to perform.
Grande is still, however, a dual nominee with nods for Best Pop Vocal Performance for the sultry banger "God Is a Woman" and Best Pop Vocal Album for "Sweetener", which she dropped in the summer of 2018.
But there was yet another disagreement when the producers insisted that they would be able to choose the second song of the medley.
Metro.co.uk has contacted reps for Ariana for comment.
However, she has since refused to perform (or even attend the ceremony) according to reports, after she disagreed with producers.
"Sweetener" and the songs "Thank U, Next" and "7 Rings" all smashed Spotify records, with "7 Rings" breaking the streaming service's record for most plays within a 24-hour period with almost 15 million.
Scheduled performers during the Grammys include Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Brandi Carlile, H.E.R., Dan + Shay, Camila Cabello, Cardi B, Post Malone, Shawn Mendes and Janelle Monáe.
Meanwhile, Taylor, who is also nominated in the Best Pop Vocal Album category, is also thought to be giving the Grammys a miss.
The other Album of the Year contenders - who were all male - were instead offered solo spots performing songs from their nominated LPs.
The Grammy Awards will air live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Sunday, Feb. 10 at 8 p.m. ET on CBS.


[dropcap]Where[/dropcap] can you find a cruise ship puffing real smoke, a sea plane painted like a corncob, an old Volkswagen Beetle and a half pipe – all homemade and floating? These creations, along with about 250 others, cruised down the Arkansas River in the great Tulsa Raft Race last year.
After a 25-year hiatus, the Tulsa Raft Race returned in all its kooky glory on Labor Day in 2015. Race Director Seth Erkenbeck says the race was revived for the same reasons it was created.
“In the early ’70s, the river was starting to gain momentum and there was a lot of interest in it, so the Tulsa Raft Race celebrated that,” Erkenbeck says. “Now we’re seeing another boom of progress on the river. We wanted to highlight recreation like they did back in the ’70s and paint a picture that the river is usable and activate the community around that.”
And the city certainly did seem activated, with over 1,000 participants in about 250 vessels and anywhere between 10,000 and 20,000 spectators attending the event.
“We could not have asked for a better reception. There was so much support from different demographics: grandparents who floated in the ’70s and ’80s said they took their grandchildren this year, and we also had 22 year olds who have never heard of it before,” Erkenbeck says.
Erkenbeck, a lifelong outdoors enthusiast with an interest in community projects, initially got involved through the Tulsa Young Professionals. This spring, he became the full-time director of the Tulsa Raft Race and the organization’s sole employee.
“I was a financial planner for eight years before this. If you had asked me then whether I’d be running a nonprofit today, I never would have thought it’d be possible,” he says. “But I’ve left my corporate job and now being involved in outdoor recreation and the community is my full-time job. You could definitely say the race has changed my life.”
This year’s race will include several additions. There will be trophies for those who make it down the river the fastest, Erkenbeck says, as well as other awards.
“We’ll also have awards for best costumes and best raft themes, and others like that,” he says. “There will also be a new corporate challenge for local businesses to be able to claim bragging rights.”
Race registration opened in the first week of July; last year, registration sold out within the first month.
“You’re not going to see anything like this anywhere else,” Erkenbeck says. “It’s like a floating art show and parade together with these creative and artistic raft builds that people craft, and it’s a lot of fun.”
The race begins in Sand Springs at the Sand Springs River City Park and winds eight miles to the finish line at River West Festival Park in Tulsa. With renovations of this park now completed since last year, Erkenbeck says the Finish Line After-Party will take advantage of the full use of the grounds, including entertainment, food trucks and live music.

The effect of soil moisture on bacterial growth was investigated, and the effects of rewetting were compared with glucose addition because both treatments increase substrate availability. Bacterial growth was estimated as thymidine and leucine incorporation, and was compared with respiration. Low growth rates were found in air-dried soil, increasing rapidly to high stable values in moist soils. Respiration and bacterial growth at different soil moisture contents were correlated. Rewetting air-dried soil resulted in a linear increase in bacterial growth with time, reaching the levels in moist soil (10 times higher) after about 7 h. Respiration rates increased within 1 h to a level >10 times higher than that in moist soil. After the initial flush, there was a gradual decrease in respiration rate, while bacterial growth increased to levels twice that of moist soil 24 h after rewetting, and decreased to levels similar to those in moist soil after 2 days. Adding glucose resulted in no positive effect on bacterial growth during the first 9 h, despite resulting in more than five times higher respiration. This indicated that the initial increase in bacterial growth after rewetting was not due to increased substrate availability.

Zion Williamson Accused of Accepting $400K for Marketing Rights While at Duke
Zion Williamson and his stepfather are alleged to have accepted $400,000 from an agency for exclusive marketing rights while Williamson was attending Duke University in October 2018.
According to Daniel Wallach of The Athletic, Prime Sports Marketing and Gina Ford are the defendants in a lawsuit filed by Williamson in North Carolina and introduced "newly discovered evidence" related to the alleged October 2018 payment:
Wallach added that witness Donald Kreiss contacted Ford and provided a copy of a marketing agreement between Williamson and Maximum Management Group, which is based in Canada.
According to Wallach (h/t David Cobb and Kyle Boone of CBS Sports), Zion's lawsuit against Prime Sports Marketing aims to nullify his agreement with the firm under a North Carolina law that protects student-athletes from non-certified agents.
Williamson signed with Prime Sports Marketing after being selected No. 1 overall by the New Orleans Pelicans in the 2019 NBA draft, but he switched to Creative Artists Agency a few weeks later.
Prime Sports Marketing filed a lawsuit against Williamson in Florida seeking compensation for endorsement opportunities it had lined up for Zion before he made the jump to CAA.
Ford and Prime Sports Marketing are arguing Williamson accepted impermissible benefits while at Duke. If that is proven, Zion may be ruled ineligible retroactively, which would make it difficult for him to win his case under the North Carolina law protecting student-athletes.
Williamson spent one season at Duke and established himself as one of the most explosive and exciting players in college basketball history.
In 33 games with the Blue Devils during the 2018-19 season, Zion averaged 22.6 points, 8.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 2.1 steals and 1.8 blocks per game. He was named the consensus National College Player of the Year.
The 20-year-old phenom missed the start of his rookie season with the Pels due to a knee injury before making his debut in January. In 19 games prior to the suspension of the 2019-20 season due to the coronavirus pandemic, Zion averaged 23.6 points, 6.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists.
Williamson figures to be a key figure for the Pelicans when the season resumes in Orlando, Florida, later this month.
The Pelicans are 10th in the Western Conference and trail the eighth-place Memphis Grizzlies by 3.5 games, but they will have a chance to play their way into the postseason.

The Quebec coroner’s office is investigating the death of singer-songwriter Karim Ouellet, 37.
Quebec City police said Tuesday officers found Ouellet’s body in a building Monday night in the La Cité-Limoilou borough.
Born in Dakar, Senegal, Ouellet made his debut in the music industry with his album Plume, released in 2011. He went on to produce two other successful albums that were a mix of hip-hop, funk and folk-pop.

He won several awards in his career, such as the 2014 Juno for Francophone Album of the Year for his second album, Fox.
Quebec Premier François Legault issued a tweet Tuesday offering his condolences to Ouellet’s family, saying the “young artist brought a new style of music to Quebec.”

TOKYO, Aug 3 (Reuters) - The founding family of Idemitsu Kosan Co has bought 400,000 shares in Showa Shell Sekiyu KK, enough to be able to force a tender offer bid for its rival, in the hope of blocking management’s takeover plan, the family’s lawyer said.
Honorary chairman and former president Shosuke Idemitsu is opposing a plan by the company founded by his father to buy smaller rival Showa Shell, including through the purchase of Royal Dutch Shell PLC’s 33.2 percent stake.
The family’s lawyer, Takujiro Hamada, told a news conference on Wednesday the family was considering buying more shares in Showa Shell. (Reporting by Taiga Uranaka; Editing by Chang-Ran Kim)

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - Family Health Centers is expanding again. Monday was the grand opening for their eighth location for patients.
The new location is at 2500 W. Market St., where the former KentuckyOne Health Westside Medical Clinic was.
Each location provides much needed medical help in the neighborhood they serve.
"All throughout the state, especially here in the west end, there's a need for better access to primary care services," Bill Wagner, the CEO of Family Health Centers, said. "For folks to have a family doctor, medical home so that they can get the preventative care they need to take care of minor illnesses in a more affordable way."
The centers also offer lots of classes including smoking cessation, healthy cooking and yoga.


Today, I announced in an op-ed in the Star Tribune and took to the Senate floor to share why I’m voting to remove President Trump. It’s important to me that Minnesotans—and all Americans—understand how I came to my decision. What follows is taken from my floor speech—which you can view here.
I was reluctant to go down the path of impeachment. While I strongly disagree with the President on many issues, I see impeachment as a last resort, and I feared that leaping to impeachment would only serve to drive us all even further into our political corners. This changed when I read the Whistleblower report, which alleged nothing less than the President’s corrupt abuse of power, an abuse that had the potential to undermine our election in 2020. For me, this left us no choice but for the House to fully investigate these allegations.
When the House sent the two Articles of Impeachment to the Senate, it became my job to “do impartial justice according to the Constitution and the law.” I take that oath as seriously as anything I have ever done.
This impeachment trial has been about whether the President’s corrupt abuse of power—power he used for his own personal, political benefit, while betraying the public trust—is a high crime and misdemeanor as defined by our founders in the Constitution. I believe it is. I also believe that to condone corrupt behavior such as this undermines the core value that we stand for as a nation—that no one is above the law, including and most especially our President.
Over the past several weeks I have listened carefully to hundreds of hours of presentations and questions and answers, and read hundreds of pages of documents. Through it all, the facts underlying the case against the President were never really refuted. The President, working through his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, withheld from Ukraine security assistance and a prestigious meeting in the White House in an effort to persuade President Zelensky to announce he was investigating Joe Biden, and the theory that Ukraine interfered in our 2016 election. In order to improve his prospects for reelection, Trump directed that vital assistance be withheld until Ukraine announced investigations into a baseless conspiracy theory that originated as Russian propaganda. He only released the aid after he was caught.
And then, when the House sought to investigate these actions, the Trump White House categorically blocked any and all subpoenas for documents and witnesses. No U.S. President has ever categorically rejected the power of Congress to investigate and do oversight of the Executive branch. Not Nixon. Not Clinton. This obstruction fractures the balance of power between the legislative and executive branch. How can our constitutional system work if we allow the President to decide if and how Congress can investigate the President’s misconduct? It can’t. If we say the President can decide whether he cooperates with a Congressional investigation, we are saying he is above the law.


We have come a long way when it comes to graphics in video games, and three particular fan-made trailers show us just how big the leap is. Take a look at GTA V Michael’s, Franklin’s and Trevor’s trailers, and then watch the entire trailers again, reconstructed in GTA: San Andreas’ engine.
Let’s keep this one short. A new image from Rockstar’s highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto V has been leaked on its official website, only for it to be quickly removed. As it was to be expected though, someone managed to save it, so here it is in all its glory.
As you can see, Michael and Franklin are up to no good, so that can only mean fun times for us. For all the latest leaks, keep it locked to Analog Addiction.
Vlad Pintea is a News-and-Reviews Editor here at Analog Addiction, and sometimes he even speaks his own mind.

Have a good day, and remember: stay calm and keep on gaming!
A Mexico City resident has spotted the filming of a live action trailer for the eagerly anticipated Grand Theft Auto V.
Rockstar have released two new pieces of artwork for the highly anticipated title, Grand Theft Auto V.
If a few screenshots released lately haven’t been enough to satisfy your hunger for more ‘Grand Theft Auto V’ news, then these photos showcasing ‘GTA V’s box-art (partially, at least) should do the trick for awhile.
Ever since Rockstar announced the new entry in the ‘GTA’ series, millions of fans started dreaming about all the crazy things they’ll participate in. Well, everyone except for the PC gamers, since the developer never actually stated that a PC version is in the works. Fans even started a petition to get Rockstar’s attention, but nothing came out of it. Or did it?
Remember how L.A. Noire was three discs long? Rockstar may be continuing that trend with the fifth installment of the Grand Theft Auto series.
According to societyandreligion.com (which wasn’t calling GTA V the devil, to my pleasant surprise), Grandius Theftus Automobilius the Fifth will be four times as big as GTA IV. Where the 2008 sandbox action game was about 15GB, the newest release will clock in at around 60GB.
By working hard, Rockstar managed to take L.A. Noire from six discs to three. If we’re lucky, they’ll find some way to make a TARDIS out of a HD-DVD.
The site also speculates that the reason why GTA V won’t be on PC is because of piracy, but they have no word from Rockstar to confirm that.
The Nintendo US President, Reggie Fils-Aime, hopes that Rockstar’s extremely anticipated Grand Theft Auto V, will be released on the Wii U as well. Reggie revealed in an interview to MTV, that there is every possibility that Nintendo’s first HD console will be running GTA V in the future:
“The folks there have said very nice public comments about the Wii U,” he explained.
“In the end, it is Nintendo’s responsibility to have a large installed base, to have development tools that help the developers and publishers create great content, and essentially create an environment where teams like Rockstar can bring their very best content to our platform, and if we do that hopefully the very best content throughout the entire industry will show up on Wii U.”
In an interview with IGN, Rockstar’s vice president, Dan Houser, told them that, for now, GTA V is slated to debut only on the Xbox 360 and PS 3:
“Everything else is up for consideration,” Houser revealed. “That’s all I can give you. The main thing is we are not… we are a third-party publisher. We’re not Nintendo, we’re not Sony, we’re not Microsoft. We love all of them in different ways. But we can do what we want wherever there’s the appropriate business opportunity and chance to find a market.”
For all GTA news, stay tuned to Analog Addiction.
Vlad Pintea is very excited for GTA V, but only if it gets released on the PC as well. Nevertheless, the game looks damn good, and he will definitely keep an eye on it. You can contact him via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.org or email@example.com, on Skype, My IGN, Steam (all at the same name: vlad94pintea) or Facebook (Vlad Pintea).
The guys over at 2K Czech are reportedly hiring for a top secret AAA title. The developers are currently having 15 open positions in Prague and Brno offices, two of them calling for people who will be working on a “top secret, unannounced, and super interesting project.”
If you remember back in August, there was a rumor going around, that the next Mafia game will be heading for the next gen consoles. It was meant to be a launch title, but that became unlikely, as 2K Czech is currently in the process of staffing up, following the loss of 40 developers last year.
Even earlier this year, there was a report that some guys over at 2K Czech are giving a hand to the guys over at Rockstar in making Grand Theft Auto V, but that rumor was crushed later on, by a Rockstar representative.
So what do you think? Did you enjoy the Mafia series? Or at least #2? Let us know in the comments bellow. For more secret deals involving the mafia, keep it locked to AnalogAddiction.
Vlad Pintea enjoyed the second Mafia game. His favorite character was Joe, and he hopes that if he won’t appear in #3, at least there will be another smartass guy like him. Until then, you can contact him via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.org or email@example.com, Skype, My IGN or on Steam, all at the same name: vlad94pintea. Have a good day and remember! Stay calm and keep on gaming!

Abstract Not Available – First paragraph follows:
While the accompanying article discusses potential free-trade impacts on agriculture as a whole, it does not focus on individual industries. Within each agricultural sector there will be winners and losers. Much attention in California has focused on the potential losses in the domestic production of vegetables caused by increased imports of such products from Mexico. One difficulty in assessing the impact of such production and trade shifts is the lack of adequate data to permit sound analysis. Therefore, much of what is concluded is based on structural descriptions and opinions about relevant economic relationships.

DANIELS IGONI writes that four months after the oil spill in Nembe, Bayelsa State, residents are reeling under its hardship while help appears not to be in the horizon
November 1, 2021 is not an ordinary date for the residents of Nembe communities in Bayelsa State. It was a day that they would not forget in a hurry, at least, not in a few years to come.
On that day, a devastating blowout occurred at the Santa Barbara South Well 01 around the Oil Mining Lease 29 operated by Aiteo Exploration and Production Company, and despoiled their ecosystem.
The residents of the ancient Nembe kingdom are predominantly farmers and fishermen and women. The marine environment and its alluring mangrove swamp aesthetics mean everything to them. Over the years, they have depended wholly on it for their survival. Their local economy thrives on their marine environment on the fringes of the Atlantic Ocean.
However, life has taken a turn for the worse for the inhabitants of Nembe since the massive spill from Aiteo’s oilfield. They have been struggling to survive four months after the environmental disaster, which destroyed their means of livelihood.
Aiteo while officially announcing the oil leak on November 10 through its Media Contact, Ndiana Matthew, reported that, “The magnitude of this incident is of an extremely high order.”
For 38 consecutive days, the affected facility consistently shelled crude oil into the tidal and ebbing waters before it was eventually stopped on December 8. It is estimated that over two million barrels of crude oil were spilled into the ecosystem from the affected facility. At least, about 45 communities and fishing settlements, including Worikuma-kiri where the OML 29 well 01 is located, were gravely impacted by the industry-induced environmental catastrophe.
The spewed crude soaked the expansive mangrove swamp and farmlands while depositing huge presence of hydrocarbon around the Santa Barbara River and adjoining creeks and rivulets, thereby polluting the fibrous mangrove roots. It has, significantly, wiped out aquatic lives such as periwinkles, oysters, fishes, crabs, crayfish, among others. Also, fishing traps and nets set at strategic locations by fishermen and women before the spill occurred were soiled and destroyed by the heavy presence of crude, which impacted the people’s livelihood.
In November, Aiteo mobilised to Opu-Nembe and donated foodstuffs and other relief items to the people to cushion the effects of the oil leak. Also in December, the Bayelsa State Governor, Douye Diri, after a visit to the spill site, set up an assessment committee and followed it up with the provision of financial support to the community to ameliorate their suffering.
The public outcry that greeted the environmental disaster forced the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Timipre Sylva, to visit the community on the directive of the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd). Sylva’s counterpart in the Ministry of Environment, Sharon Ikpeazu, also carried out an inspection of the Santa Barbara well 01 in December.
Apart from the assessment committee, the state government also inaugurated an 11-member technical committee to work with the Joint Investigation Visit team to find out the cause of the spill. The JIV team was made up of the representatives of the National Oil Spill Detection and Response Agency, Nigeria Upstream Petroleum Regulatory (former Department of Petroleum Resources), Aiteo and the state government.
However, the exercise was inconclusive and controversial as the state government rejected the JIV report, which attributed the cause of the spill to sabotage. Also, groups such as the Ijaw National Congress and the Environmental Rights Action/Friends of the Earth Nigeria, described the outcome as unacceptable.
But four months after the incident, the residents of Nembe are still struggling to cope with the harsh consequences of the blowout, which destroyed their means of livelihood and imposed a bleak future on their socio-economic wellbeing.
Speaking, the landlord of OML 29 well 01 and paramount ruler of Worikuma-kiri, Chief Ivory Pegi, said life had become very difficult for them since the spill occurred.
He lamented that they had been neglected by the federal and state governments as well as the indigenous oil firm after the initial outreach.
Pegi, who is also a farmer and fisherman, said, “The oil spill occurred on the 1st of November and was killed on the 8th of December, 2021. Because of the magnitude of the oil spill and our cries, the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Timipre Sylva, sent by the President, visited; the state governor also visited and some relief materials brought to us.
“But since then, we have not seen anything again. Nothing has happened again. Nobody has bothered to check on us to see how we are living our lives except some civil society organisations and activists. They have been calling us to fund out how we are managing with our lives.
“When things like these happen, it is the community people that suffer. There is no life here (in the fishing settlements). This area is dead. I can’t even put airtime or credit on my phone. Nobody can catch fish in the area.”
According to him, they had hoped to be relocated from the impacted area to an Internally Displaced Persons Camp while their health needs would be attended to, but to no available.
He said, “We expected that we will be taken to a camp or a safe ground where we will be catered for, but that did not happen. We are left to suffer, and it is difficult to feed, there is no good water to drink, our rivers are polluted. We are not also sure of our health situation because of the inhaling of the stench of the crude.”
When asked if they had made any effort to further draw the attention of the government and the oil company to their plight, he said,”Yes, I am the paramount ruler of Worikuma-kiri. Sometime in December (2021), I wrote a letter to the government thorough the governor’s representative in Nembe LGA, but we did not get any response.”
Pegi said he was fed up with making appeals for assistance as solutions to their predicament were not forthcoming from any quarters. According to him, “sometimes, one gets tired of talking about the same thing. We are not getting the attention that we deserve from the government or the oil company. We are left to suffer.
“We are a fishing community and our rivers have been polluted by the Aiteo oil spill. There is no fish to catch because of the spill. There is no life in this place (Worikuma-kiri and other settlements).”
A fisher woman and an indigene of Opu-Nembe, who spoke in confidence, said life had been tough as a result of the incident. According to her, they are also afraid that there could be an outbreak of epidemic in the area due to the polluted atmosphere.
She said, “Life is unbearable now, especially after the oil spill because our fishing traps and nets were destroyed. For us to drink water now, is difficult. And because of the pollution, we are afraid people might fall sick anyhow because we breath bad air around here.
“Government is aware of our problems. Our council of chiefs wrote to the Nembe council chairman. Aiteo brought a few things the first time, which never got to the primary victims of the spill. But they brought the second one, I don’t know, it is difficult to catch fish. We are fishing people.
“They said the JIV was not concluded and they have not cleaned-up the spill. The spill was huge and there is a lot of crude still hanging on the mangroves and in the creeks. Fish eat little, little things on the mangroves. To go fishing now, you will paddle two to three kilometers, but you won’t catch fish.”
The Vice President of Nembe Youth Federation, Degi Nimibofa, said it had been four months of anguish and sorrow for most of the residents, particularly the fishing folks who depend on the pre-occupation for their economic survival.
He also expressed concern that apart from prevailing hunger and economic hardship, the spill has also compromised the environment and endangered the people and aquatic creatures as a result of chemical elements contained in the crude oil discharged into the ecosystem.
Nimibofa said, “The spill has had adverse effects on the environment. Once there is a spill, the environment is compromised and most of the primary producers of the things that are essential in encouraging the growth of aquatic life are also compromised.
“So, our fishermen and women are complaining of poor yield and there are also health complications. They are highly endangered.
“We have some environmental experts that are checking and managing our environment and also monitoring lumbering activities in the ecosystem and oil exploration activities. They are concerned that polonium, a heavy metal found in crude oil; that the spill has brought about high concentration of polonium in aquatic organisms like fish, crustaceans (crabs, lobsters, crayfish, shrimp, krill, prawns etc).
“Not just that, there is also high concentration of lead and chromium, which is a carcinogenic substance that can cause cancer in human beings. The effect might not be momentary but is spontaneous. Maybe, in the next five to six years, we will be hearing of issues of cancer with the residents but they will not know it’s all as a result of the spill.”
The youth leader urged Aiteo, the state and federal government to take steps to prevent imminent deaths and ailments resulting from the extreme pollution of the environment.
He also called for sustained provision of succour and empowerment measures to mitigate the suffering of the inhabitants of the impacted area, adding that the years ahead would be more excruciating for the people.
The PUNCH gathered that the women of Bassambiri-Nembe had on March 8 and 9, 2022, staged a peaceful protest against scarcity of drinkable water around the community.
Leader of the protesting women, Jelinah John-Park, urged the government to provide potable water for the community, stressing that they could no longer bear the suffering.
“The suffering is getting too much, we can’t cope with the water scarcity situation. The government should come to our rescue,” she said.
The state Commissioner for Water Resources, Keme Wariebi, accompanied by the chairman of the Nembe Local Government Council, intervened in the demonstration and appealed to the community women to be patient with the government.
He said, “The government is working with the local government council to expedite action. Potable water will be provided. Water is life and every living being needs water to survive.” ,,

BurningAngel has brought home several awards from all the major adult shows, from AVN to XBIZ; from XRCO to YNOT. Some of its accolades include Best Porn Star Website, Best Web Premiere and Best Sex Comedy. From a college dorm room to national television, BurningAngel has made a mark in entertainment, and it's only just beginning.
