The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) of Gombe Command, DSP Waje Atajiri, confirmed the two incidents.
He said investigation was ongoing on and that details would be made public.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the blast, which occurred at the old Gombe Market Gate, killed the two suspected bombers and injured one person.
NAN learnt that the blast at the Timber Market in Gombe town killed three persons and injured seven others.
An eyewitness, Alhaji Abubakar Sanusi, told NAN that the two suspected bombers, a male and a female, were at the market gate trying to gain entry but were stopped by security personnel at the gate.
He said the male suspect was conveying the female suspect on a motorcycle with a bomb-laden cooler, but refused to be checked by the security personnel at the gate.
Sanusi said no sooner had the security personnel prevented the suspected bomber from gaining entry into the area without been checked, the bomb exploded, killing the suspects and injuring the security personnel.
Also at the timber market, NAN correspondent saw three corpses being put in an ambulance of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA).
An official of the Nigerian Red Cross told NAN that three persons died while seven others sustained injuries at the Timber Market blast.
The source said the bomb was deposited by an unknown person in a local food vendor shop, which later exploded, killing the three persons.
NAN reports that soldiers, policemen, officials of NEMA, the red cross and other security operatives were seen at the scenes, which were cordoned off.

Tom Riggins column: Observations
Today is a collection of observations that merit mention but are too brief for a full column. I find that necessary occasionally. With all the issues to write about, sometimes I end up with a collection of thoughts instead.
I attended the candidates night sponsored by CEDA and the Lahontan Valley News. It was well worth the time for the full crowd attending. I found it helpful and changed my mind about some of the candidates. This is confirmation that you need to be informed about the candidates or you might overlook a good one. I can say that the full slate of candidates for the three offices that were featured are all good. Kudos to all the candidates, win or lose in the primary, for stepping up and running. And for all those who desired to be informed.
As a side note, I am making no public endorsements on anyone in the primary races. I never endorse anyone in a primary. If you want my opinion on a race, ask me individually.
Speaking of primary races, I see from constant TV ads that the two Democrat frontrunners for governor in Nevada are trying to outdo each other to convince voters that they are the most progressive (aka liberal) candidate. I have to wonder if, or how, the winner will walk their position back in the general election. After all, there are a huge number of nonpartisan voters whose views are pretty much unknown but tend toward the middle.
Oh, by the way, attacking the NRA is counterproductive. Every new attack results in increased NRA membership. From my view, keep it up. You are helping your enemy. This is like Obama, who unwittingly became the best salesman ever for firearms sales.
If you trust polls, here is one that Democrats won’t like. According to a new Reuters poll, Republicans are ahead in a generic ballot poll nationwide. This throws some cold water on the much-touted blue wave that Democrats are counting on to get rid of President Trump. After all, he is making way too much progress to suit Democrat and many Republican politicians.
On that note, I heard a theory about why so many politicians hate Trump. There has been so much corruption and fraud occurring in Washington, D.C., that many of the so-called deep state incumbents fear jail time if Trump stays in office and their past actions come to light. While only a theory, it makes more sense than most I have heard.
This next topic strays from the idea of too short for a full column. Rather, it could be a dozen or more to fully explain and try to analyze. So I will try to hit the main points. This is regarding the Mueller investigation and its repercussions. As this investigation continues, Mueller apparently has found nothing to point to Russian collusion involving Trump. If he had, it would have been gleefully leaked. All the collusion has pointed to the Democrat candidate, which appears to be dutifully ignored.
More troubling is the extent and depth of corruption in the Department of Justice and FBI. More information comes out daily. There appears to have been a concerted effort to undermine the Trump campaign and then the Trump administration originating from these agencies. The FBI reportedly even planted a spy in the Trump administration.
This does not even consider the questionable surveillance of Trump administration members under thinly veiled guises. It also doesn’t consider Mueller’s tactics of finding process crimes against people in the Trump campaign in an effort to turn them. Some of these crimes being charged are past the statute of limitations.
Some judges are not buying Mueller’s tactics. He has had two of three courts require him to provide proof that the charges brought are within the scope of his authority. That may not happen, since neither he nor the DOJ will provide the House Oversight Committee with the letter that outlines his scope of authority. I mentioned earlier that a lot of people are fearing prison time. It may well be that the Obama’s legacy will turn out to be the most corrupt in history.
Did you hear about the man who tried to take a selfie with a bear? The outcome was predictable. Have we lost all common sense, or is this proof that Darwinism exists?
Finally, Memorial Day is upon us. While enjoying your leisure, take some time to remember those who died defending your rights and your country. They deserve our respect.

WEST HARTFORD — Connecticut's Nepalese community, many of whom live in West Hartford, have been working to obtain information about loved ones and friends in Nepal, which was devastated by an earthquake Saturday.
Ghanashyam Khadka, president of the Nepalese Association of Connecticut, said his organization's members are trying with limited success to get information. Power lines are down and the internet is jammed, making it difficult to get information, Khadka said.
Still, he said, one member of his organization has already learned that his mother died in a building collapse caused by the earthquake.
"In Katmandu most of the ancient buildings and ancient monuments are devastated," Khadka said. "Most of the big houses, the multi-story houses have fallen down. Lots of people are trapped."
In addition to finding out about friends and loved ones, the local Nepalese community will raise money to assist families affected by the devastation.
"A lot of people's families have losses over there," Khadka said. "We are still finding those families."
The organization's members are trying to get information from people in areas not as badly affected by the earthquake or from relief organizations providing assistance.
And some members of Connecticut's Nepalese community will gather Saturday afternoon to discuss how to assist.
"We are talking about how to collect financial help for them," Khadka said.
Stamford-based AmeriCares has sent a response team and is preparing to send medical and relief supplies it has stockpiled in Mumbai, India.
"Our emergency response team is en route to Nepal and we are prepared to help any way that we can," AmeriCares President and CEO Michael J. Nyenhuis said. "This is a terrible tragedy and our hearts go out to the families suffering."


Following a fantastic and fun first TV season, all viewers of Gentefied expect a second season to take place. Netflix still has the series to be rekindled, but we mentioned below how likely Gentefied is to be revived and what you can do to ensure. All aspects of season 2, including renewal status, casting, and production information and the planned release date of season 2, will be tracked.
Gentefied is an original Netflix comedy-drama series based on an online digital film of the same name. Marvin Lemus and Linda Yvette Chávez, Ugly Better star America Ferrera, produced and directed the film.
Critics have often characterized the show as very silly, but’ Gentefied’s people-centric approach to gentrification is just as strikingly personal as it is hilariously connected.’ Given the success and positive feedback in the first season, because the audience got such a strong response in the first season, Netflix will want to keep up and sustain its momentum.
Netflix has not ordered season 2 of Gentefied yet. The streaming service typically makes renewal options within a couple of months so that fans can expect details by the end of April 2020. The show has been accepted until now, but Netflix needs to know whether fans have invested sufficiently in the entire series or analyzed the first few episodes.
Potential Release Date:
When Netflix is to order Season 2 from Gentefied by April 2020, production will be finished by the end of the year. The fans should expect 10 30 minute episodes of the same series structure to move forward. Netflix usually stays for one season a year, and it is predicted that Gentefied will start its second year by early 2021.
The cast of season 2 might include:
- Jaime Alvarez
- Julissa Calderon
- Joaquín Cosio
- Greg Ellis
- Felipe Esparza
Expected Plot Details:
During season 2 of Gentefied, Pop may not be present. In the second century, Cosio’s other Netflix character in Narco, Mexico, was a significant figure in the first season. It seems likely that Gentefied Season 2 will concentrate on the personal growth of Ana, Erik, and Chris without a pop.
But first, they need to figure out how Mama Fina can protect herself. The three main characters plan to create a new culinary tradition on Boyles Heights for the remainder of the second season in Netflix while at the same time fulfilling their aims.

A month ago, the Los Angeles Unified School District chose to privatize more than 250 of its campuses in a desperate attempt to reverse decades of decline in the nation’s second-largest school district. Reason TV looks at the potential for an education in American education in this decision, which could unlock the government and teachers-union monopoly on the direction of public schools:
At the time, I wrote that this would have that effect, especially when scores and graduation rates improve. The unions insist that the only difference between charter schools and normal public schools is that parents get more involved in the former, but that’s because parents can get involved in shaping the curriculum at these alternatives. They do not get shut out by a sclerotic union-protection system and a picket fence of federal and state mandates. That allows parents to make a difference, which encourages participation.
Listen to the few arguments from the anti-choice side in this clip. One union official claims that the very word “choice” in this context relates to slavery and Jim Crow. With idiots like that in charge of the schools, it’s no small wonder that parents have had enough.


What is the job of a Leader of the Opposition? From the comments of Jeremy Corbyn’s critics, you might think that it involves appearing calmly respectable for five years and then winning an election. They insist that Corbyn cannot do this.
The Archbishop of York will block a lay minister from serving local churches, simply because he is getting married. This move is divisive and exposes the Church of England’s injustice towards lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people.
Of all welfare reform policies, the benefit cap has resonated most strongly with the public, and gained most support from across the political spectrum. As a headline policy it has been easy to explain and to promote. When politicians asked, 'why should people get more on benefits than others get by working?', people tended to agree. Why should they?

L33tdawg: Saumil Shah's stegosploit in the wild!
A stealthy modular version of the Stegoloader banking trojan is spreading through malicious PNG files, according to researchers at Dell SecureWorks' Counter Threat Unit (CTU).
The CTU researchers reported uncovering the variant in a threat advisory, warning that the malware has an advanced modular architecture capable of dodging many traditional security tools.
Almost two years ago, we closed out our review of Dell’s first Linux-powered Developer Edition laptop with some words of wisdom from my former uber-sysadmin mentor, a fellow named Rick, with whom I worked at Boeing for many, many years.

Dell has confirmed that its new curved monitor will go on sale this week. The announcement was made at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, at which the company also unveiled its striking new XPS 13 notebook and the Venue 8 7000 Series, which it calls the "world's thinnest tablet".
The company first showed its U3415W UltraSharp 34 curved monitor back in August, and after a long wait, Dell has said that it will finally go on sale on Thursday. The 34-inch display features an ultra-wide 21:9 aspect ratio and a curved LCD panel with WQHD (3440x1440px) resolution.


The Philadelphia Housing Authority launched a new and improved website featuring a customer-focused and user-friendly redesign. It also includes valuable, up-to-date information for applicants, residents, and the public.
“The new website is very much in line with our efforts to make PHA a more transparent organization,” said PHA Administrative Receiver Michael Kelly. “It will serve as a great resource for people interested in learning more about PHA and what we do. We’re committed to improving our communications tools and making information available to everyone.”
One of the new features is an interactive map of Philadelphia which shows the locations of PHA developments. Applicants will be able to search by type of development, number of bedrooms and availability of accessible units to find the site that best fits their family’s needs.
Interested individuals can also submit an application for public housing, update their information on the waiting list, and track their status online. Each page features a button that links to the Apply for Housing page.
For current residents, the website offers a wealth of information regarding resident services and training opportunities to improve their quality of life.
“We know that a lot of our residents are technologically savvy. The website will allow us to promote resident programs and events in a timely manner,” said Kelly. “I strongly encourage all PHA residents to go online and see what we have to offer.”
The website was also designed with other visitors in mind such as Housing Choice Voucher landlords, vendors, and job seekers.

United National Party Parliamentarian Mujibur Rahman says the joint opposition is attempting to use even calamities to regain power.
Speaking at a media briefing held earlier today Parliamentarian said the joint opposition is attempting to spread extremism and create unrest in the country in order to fulfill its political aspirations.
MP Mujibur Rahman said there are a bunch of people who were waiting till these bombs detonated and pointed out how the members of the opposition are celebrating like its New Year, and talking about the subject frequently.
He further accused other politicians of working towards their political motives through the deaths of hundreds of innocent people who were killed.
He adding that some leaders of political factions are so uncivilized that they want to spread hate and make people suspicious, concluding that their only motive is to incite racism.
The Parliamentarian said they want to divide us to a level where we look at each other through fear and suspicion adding that members of the joint opposition have made it their main motive to create a state of suspicion in our minds.


EDMONTON -- The eyes are a window to the soul.
In the case of Henry Burris yesterday, they weren't just giving insight. They were screaming a message back at you.
Burris, who wears special contact lenses when he plays that make his eyes look red, had them in place yesterday when he addressed the media despite not taking the field for even a practice.
"Focused," said the Calgary Stampeders quarterback on the eve of his team's meeting against the Edmonton Eskimos. "Usually I do this just for game time, but it's been game time all week."
That's the case since he and the rest of the Stamps were thrashed handily 37-16 by Eskimos Monday afternoon in the first half of the annual Labour Day-week series between the provincial rivals.
Only a few days later, the Stamps need to make amends -- not only to keep pace in the standings but for their psyche.
Needless to say, they could use a little 'eye of the tiger.'
"If we consider ourselves a good team and a team that wants to be a contender in the playoffs, not just happy with getting there or going with the flow, we have to redeem ourselves," said running back Joffrey Reynolds. "They took it to us on Monday in front of our home crowd. It's not a self-evaluation, but you want to play good football and show the type of team we can be."
The key to achieving that goal tonight at Commonwealth Stadium, however, will be the defensive performance.
Specifically, keeping Eskimos quarterback Ricky Ray in check.
Ray, the front-runner for the league's MVP honours through the first half of the CFL season, has shredded the Stamps defenders this season.
In two meetings this year, he's thrown for a total of 824 yards and six touchdowns.
As much as the Esks want to spread the credit around, everybody on the Stampeders side of the field knows the key to victory will be preventing Ray from doing another number on them.
"In my opinion, next to our guy, he's the best quarterback in the league," said Stamps linebacker JoJuan Armour. "If you cut off the head, the body will fall. I don't think they'd be as successful without the calibre of quarterback he is. It's not we're intentionally going to hurt him, but we have to get after him, get him on the ground, put pressure in his face, use movement ... Make him uncomfortable."
That feat hasn't been done with any regularity this season, a reason Ray will tie Eskimos great Warren Moon's franchise record of 144 career touchdown passes with his next endzone strike.
For his part, Ray is taking the accolades -- and talk of becoming the Eskimos' all-time leader in touchdown passes -- in stride.
"In 2005, I didn't throw a touchdown the last seven games and everybody wanted to see my butt on the bench, so I know how quick it can change," Ray said. "You've just got to go out and work hard every week.
"We haven't done anything yet, we've won six ball games. Until we get in the playoffs and win some big games, we're a team that really hasn't done anything."
Burris, who can also be the CFL's top player, doesn't have time to think about the race for that honour as he takes to the same field as Ray.
He's got bigger concerns -- one being a Stampeders team that needs a victory to return to a tie for second place in the West Division. Another one is a toe injury that took him out of Monday's clash, an ailment he doesn't believe the Esks will specifically target.
"If anybody tries to go after my toe, I've got some toe jam and peanut butter and jelly down there waiting for them," Burris said. "These are good guys, and they don't try to do anything out of the game."
In essence, his injury illustrates where the rest of the Stamps sit -- wounded.
"Back a cat in a corner and see what happens," Burris said. "We've faced teams like that. We lost to Winnipeg earlier in the year. It's always tough to beat a team two times back-to-back, and I know they understand that. We're gonna come out and fight hard."


Martin Shkreli Just Leaked Two More Songs from Lil Wayne's 'Carter V'
"Mona Lisa" features Kendrick Lamar
Published May 03, 2017Music-world super villain Martin Shkreli might be banned from Twitter, but that hasn't stopped him from stirring the pot from the comfort of his evil headquarters. Despite promising not to release anymore tracks from Lil Wayne's Tha Carter V, Shkreli has just leaked two more snippets from the release.
Wayne's long-awaited new album has been delayed over and over again thanks to various disputes with Birdman and Cash Money Records. Last year, Shkreli decided to purchase a copy of the album for himself.
In December, Shkreli shared snippets of the album on a livestream. Today (May 3), he returned with even more material from the album.
As TMZ points out, Shkreli shared snippets of two new tracks. There's a solo cut called "The Life of Carter" and, more notably, a Kendrick Lamar collaboration called "Mona Lisa."
While the audio is quite terrible, and you have to listen to Shkreli's snivelling voice throughout, you can listen to the new leaks below.

Charles and a friend started their own business about 18 months ago. It’s been a challenge in many ways, but their hard work is just now starting to pay off. However, because of the new business our travel schedule, until recently, has been almost nil. Instead of the five or six long weekend trips and two or three week long trips we dropped down to one weekend trip and one week long trip for the entire year (I don’t count going home to California as holiday, that’s mandatory). This was a big sacrifice for us considering one of the major reasons we moved to London was the access to travel. A cheap, two-hour plane ride from home and we can be walking the streets of many a different countries: France, Italy, Spain, Germany to name just a few. A trip to Rome from London for the weekend is like a trip to San Francisco from Fresno. We have been doing our best to make up for last year as documented here, here and here, but we still have a lot of catching up to do.
Paris has been high on my list for quite some time now. I’ve been several times before, usually because I was tagging along on one of Charles’ business trips, but I’ve been trying to figure out a good excuse to go back. Thankfully, our friends Simon and Shannon who live in San Diego happen to be in France for a family ski trip and Charles mentioned to them that we could meet them in Paris for a weekend. Perfect excuse! We get to hang out with our much-loved friends AND go to Paris.
We took the Eurostar over (a two hour train ride), which dumps you out right in central Paris, and made our way over to our hotel. After checking in we took a stroll around the cute pedestrian street we were staying on and I spied this little kid lounging on a public sculpture outside a shopping mall. He, like so many other people around us that day, was taking advantage of the amazing weather. I love this picture!
Neither of us had ever been to the Pompidou Center so that was first on our to-do list. Before going in we grabbed a table at a little cafe outside the museum and sat in the sun for about an hour eating lunch and people watching. There is so much going on outside the Pompidou you could spend hours there watching all the street performers, listening to music while catching some rays.
Once lunch was finished and the obligatory cafe had been drunk we walk down to the entrance of the museum, right past all the people waiting to buy tickets (tip: pre-book tickets online to avoid wasting time standing in line) and over to the visitors desk to pick up a wheelchair for Charles. Whoops! I forgot to mention earlier that my dear boyfriend broke his ankle playing football (soccer) two days before we left. Yep, cast, crutches and all that accompanies a broke ankle came with us to Paris. A city where you walk nearly everywhere you go. Anyhow, we made the best of the situation and took advantage of a loaner wheelchair at the museum and off we went.
The Pompidou is a modern art museum and it is quite amazing. The exhibits are well curated and the building itself is very interesting. Definitely worth a visit!
Simon and Shannon were late getting into the city so we met up with them later that evening just before dinner. We chose the restaurant based on a review that Charles had read, but unfortunately it didn’t live up to it’s reputation. I can’t remember the name of the place, but it was not worth going out of our way for. No matter, we had a good time catching up with our friends.
Next on the agenda was something I was really looking forward to. A few years ago my friend Ange and I made a girls trip to Paris. One of the nights we were there we were wondering our way through the Latin Quarter, stopping at way too may bars along the way, but having a such a good time. Somehow, I think based on the recommendation of a waiter we met, we ended up at Au Trois Mailletz. We had an unforgettable night and I have been wanting to go back again ever since!
Au Trois Mailletz is a paino bar and cabaret. The piano bar is upstairs, where you can have dinner and listen to great music in a very comfortable atmosphere. Downstairs is the cabaret and that is what we wanted to see. After walking down some very steep steps (difficult to manage on crutches) you arrive in a stone cave with a long table down the center and little tables pushed against the walls. The space is very small, but they pack it full. The show starts at about 11:30pm with an amazing singer/guitar player. Most of the songs are in French, but we recognized the tune of a lot of them and didn’t feel lost at all. Throughout the night about 10 different performers go up on stage singing solos, duets and group sing-a-longs. Audience participation is always encouraged and even though we didn’t know the words we were still singing along. After about an hour the dancers come out. Beautiful girls dancing their way down the central table, shaking their hips like you wouldn’t believe. Although the show continues through the night ending at about 6am we called it quits at about 3:30am. This is such a fun thing to do while in Paris and I couldn’t recommend it more!
Needless to say we got a late start the next morning. The plan was to head to one of our favorite markets that is only held on Sunday mornings, ending at about 2pm. The market is on Rue Mouffetard and is mostly a food market where locals come to buy their food, at least as far as we can tell. We grabbed some breakfast at a little cafe and then wonder the market for a bit.
I have never had white asparagus, but I’m guessing it’s kind of a big deal because people were selling it all around the market. I’ll have to buy some next time to bring home. One of those bundles would probably feed about six people. Each stalk is about 1″ thick! Check out the fist-sized kiwis in the background. Huge!
Yummmm…. rotisserie chicken.
After the market Simon and Shannon took off to visit the Eiffel Tower (both us have been up the tower before) while we walk/hobbled around a bit more. After about 30 minutes we decide that walking on crutches in Paris was no fun at all, so we rented some bikes. All over Paris are these bike rental stations where locals and tourist alike can buy a pass, check out a bike, ride around, park the bike at another bike station, go shopping, hop on another bike, ride around some more, lock that bike to a tree and check out a park, ride some more, etc. Seriously cool idea that we have seen in a few other cities, but never tried. We figured this was the perfect opportunity to try them out and pedaling the bike didn’t put any pressure on Charles’ bad ankle. We had so much fun! I highly recommend doing this in any city that provides the service. We were able to see so much more of the city than we would have had we been walking, crutches or not.
Pretty building with beautiful blue sky background. Not sure where I took this picture.
We spent a few hours on the bikes before meeting Simon and Shannon at the Musee d’Orsay. Another great museum that we have been to before but was so worth making the return visit. Again, pre-book your tickets as the lines can be huge.
Later that night, after consulting TripAdvisor for a recommendation, we had a very nice dinner at a small restaurant called Au Bougnat just around the corner from Notre Dame. After stuffing ourselves with really good food and wine we called it a day and headed back to the hotel.
Simon and Shannon had driven a car to Paris so instead of taking the train back we hitched a ride with them. A three hour drive to Calais, an hour+ ferry ride across the channel, then two more hours of driving from Dover to Putney and finally a 20 minute tube ride and we were home. Most definitely not as fast or comfortable as the train, but we got to spend more time with our friends so it was worth it.
The whole trip was very quick, but we packed each day full and had a great time. There is always so much to do and see in Paris it’s hard to not to have a great time. In fact, we are already planning our next trip back!

InformationWeek's Geekend: Robots Do Everything Better Than People
In the latest edition of InformationWeek's Geekend series, author David Wagner asks a question: Who would win in a fight between robots and humans? The goal is to compare the state-of-the-art of robots to humans to see how far they've come.
Jul 25, 2014
NEW YORK, July 25, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- We are getting so good at making robots that we'll probably quit making humans soon. Robots are faster than us, they're stronger than us, and they're smart enough to beat us at every game we've ever invented. They can even paint pictures and sing. It is getting to the point where we need to ask — can a human do anything better than a robot?
In this latest installment of the Geekend series, author David Wagner uses a hypothetical and comical fight between a robot and an average human to see just how far the state of the art in robotics has advanced. Even though robots are advancing fast in all areas, humans still have an advantage in a few areas. Are they enough for humans to win? You'll have to click the link to find out.
Each week, Wagner takes a look at a variety of scientific studies that look at the convergence of technology and human behavior to see how we're changing our world and how the world we built is changing us. This week, he's checking out robots to see how soon they'll rule the world.
Want a ringside seat for the smackdown? Check out this week's Geekend, and see for yourself.

Calorie counting apps are great for those looking to lose weight or gain muscle as it allows you to accurately track what you eat. The MyFitnessPal app has over 5 million types of food in their database so you will always be able to enter the right food and brand for a correct reading. There is now no excuse to eat unhealthily.
Healthy Restaurant Food
The smartphone has revolutionized the way we interact with restaurants. One of the latest trends is to be able to know how many calories are in restaurant dishes. Apps such as HealthyOut allow users to research the healthiest restaurant dishes and have them delivered to their door. Lack of time to cook healthy food is a huge factor to why people’s diets slip. These apps allow you to get good quality nutritious food directly to your home so you don’t reach for the pizza takeaway menu. The co-founder of the app told Tech Crunch that the nutrition app is designed to be “your own personal concierge and nutritionist planning out meals.”
Water Intake Apps
The importance of water cannot be emphasized enough and yet it is often forgotten when it comes to healthy living. Apps such as Waterlogged are designed to ensure that users are getting the right amount of water everyday. Speaking to Top Fitness Apps the creators of Waterlogged said “we think that users need simple apps that do what they do, and they do it well. Waterlogged allows you track the water that you drink and it gives you reminders to make sure that you are drinking enough by letting you know how much you need to drink each hour to accomplish your personal goal.”
Who says that healthy eating doesn’t have to be fun. In recent years, game developers have tapped into the public’s desire for a healthy lifestyle. Hence, the creation of fun games such as Fruit Ninja. The fun app reminds players to eat healthy by slicing through fruits. The Guardian reports that it will be turned into a film due to the popularity of the game. Another media platform to take advantage of the health and gaming industries is online entertainment platform The X Factor Games. They combined fruit and gaming to create classic games such as Fruit Shop. While the games won’t improve your eating habits, they will hopefully entertain you. While also, giving you a subtle reminder to get your 5-a-day.
Hopefully, you will gives these nutrition apps a try and take advantage of the nutritional knowledge and advice. Your phone grants access to all of this. In today’s society, there is no excuse for not following a healthy diet.

"If we're to live up to our own time, then victory won't lie in the blade. But in all the bridges we've made, that is the promise to glade the hill we climb. If only we dare it."
That's just a small excerpt from National Youth Poet Laureate Amanda Gorman's original poem, "The Hill We Climb."
Gorman stole the show at Wednesday's Inauguration Day ceremonies with her poetry recitation, becoming a household name overnight.
The young poet is inspiring writers, artists and other poets everywhere.
"Where can we find light, in this never-ending shade... in all the bridges we've made, that is the promise to glade the hill we climb."
Twenty-three-year-old Twin Cities poet Baki Baki Baki, whose official name is Zeam Porter, said, "I feel called, I am called now ... to be a light-bearer, in the storm of darkness, is everything ... Before her performance, never did I think, 'OK, when it comes to my poetry, I could have an audience as big as all of America.'"
But Gorman made it a reality, especially for those next in line.
"She empowered me to just keep going, and keep voicing what I want to be heard and standing up for myself," 14-year-old Kennedy George, who enjoys writing poetry, said.
A National Youth Poet Laureate, standing up, for all to hear.
At just 22 years old and overcoming a speech impediment, Gorman told ABC News' Robin Roberts on Good Morning America on Thursday, "I was overjoyed, I was grateful, I was honestly shocked," that she was trusted to share her gift.
"It was this amazing full-circle moment for me, because if I would've written this poem three years ago, I wouldn't have been able to say it, and so it was, you know, me rising, I think as well as the country, at that time," Gorman explained.
"She gave us hope across partisanship, across age and demographic, across our race, our ethnicity, whoever we are, wherever we are that we can bring that light into our homes, into our communities and across the nation and the world," Dr. Artika Tyner, author and University of St. Thomas law professor, added.

Pence defends 2020 election during Indy stop
Former Vice President Mike Pence received a warm welcome while back home again in Indiana for a brief stop Wednesday.
Driving the news: While speaking at the National Conference of State Legislatures summit at the Indiana Convention Center, the 2024 presidential hopeful somberly mentioned the latest indictment of former President Trump, but otherwise was upbeat with the friendly crowd of party insiders.
What happened: Pence joked about the infamous fly from his last televised debate and, at the behest of Indiana House Speaker Todd Huston, pulled out a decent George W. Bush impression.
Details: Pence played to the audience of state lawmakers by promising greater flexibility for states and a smaller federal government if he's elected president.
- He pledged to eliminate the federal Department of Education.
- He'd send federal housing, highway and welfare responsibilities to states as block grants.
- He said he'd "repeal all Obamacare mandates."
Of note: He held up Indiana's school choice policies, some of the most robust in the nation, as a national model.
Meanwhile, Pence reiterated that the 2020 Georgia election was not stolen, "despite what the former president and his allies have said."
Catch up fast: An Atlanta grand jury unveiled sweeping charges Monday against Trump and 18 allies over alleged efforts to overturn Georgia's 2020 election results — a case that many close to Trump have feared most imperils him.
What Pence said: Trump and his allies "are entitled to the same presumption of innocence that every American enjoys" in the wake of the new charges.
Zoom out: Trump's Republican rivals in the 2024 presidential primaries offered mixed reactions to his fourth indictment this week, with a handful criticizing the GOP frontrunner.
The big picture: Pence is considered a key witness on allegations that Trump tried to overturn the 2020 presidential election results and pressured Pence not to carry out his congressional role of certifying President Biden's win.
- Pence told CBS News earlier this month that he has "no plans to testify" in the case, but he will "obey the law" and "respond to the call of the law, if it comes."
The intrigue: Pence could be on stage with Trump next week at the first Republican debate.
- Trump and Pence are among the eight candidates who've qualified for the debate, though the former president is not expected to attend.
- "I hope he comes," Pence said. "I really do. I say I've debated Donald Trump 1,000 times, just not with the cameras on."

Muldrow Board Approves Removal of 10 Commandments
MULDROW, Okla. (AP) — The Muldrow School Board has approved the removal of Ten Commandments plaques that were displayed in each classroom in the eastern Oklahoma high school.
The Southwest Times Record reports hundreds of people attended a school board meeting Monday to protest the removal. School Board President Scott Chambers says the board removed the plaques to avoid spending taxpayer money on lawsuits.
An attorney representing the school, Jerry Richardson, says the district received a letter from the Freedom From Religion Foundation threatening a lawsuit if the plaques were not removed. Richardson says an unnamed student complained to the organization about the plaques that are posted in every classroom at Muldrow's high school.
The foundation says it's hopeful the district will "honor thy constitution" and keep the plaques out of the classroom.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. – Linebacker U. is getting a new look on the outside this spring.
Veteran Penn State middle linebacker and two-year starter Glenn Carson will have new starters in 2013 on either side of him with standouts Michael Mauti and Gerald Hodges off to the NFL.
Top reserve Mike Hull seems primed for one of those starting spots. He's already known for his work ethic and his prowess in the weight room.
Nyeem Wartman has the other outside spot. Wartman impressed early on last season in a special teams role as a freshman. He was later sidelined by injury.
Carson says he's confident Hull and Wartman will make smooth transitions to more prominent roles.
Otherwise, scholarship depth is slim at linebacker for Penn State, at least until incoming freshmen arrive this summer.

Offer something small to eat as soon as anyone enters your house. It needn’t be sophisticated. Serve little halved radishes, chilled in the refrigerator, a dish of salt, and another filled with softened sweet butter. Let everyone spread the radishes with a smear of butter and sprinkle them with salt. – Tamar Adler, An Everlasting Meal (2011).
God bless Tamar Adler, not only for her throw back to Elizabeth David, MFK Fisher and Richard Olney cookery writing, nor only, for that matter, her dead-on hospitality advice*, but especially because in the passage cited above she actually tells her gentle readers how to pull off the old radish, butter and salt trick. I have been doing an ad hoc version for years, inspired by a mention of the dish in a passage from David’s Summer Cooking (1955), but I was never quite convinced I was doing it right. Turns out I more or less was, and there is something deeply satisfying about the summertime treat of radishes, butter and salt. The pepper in the radish is so beautifully balanced by the mellowness of the butter fat and mineral zing of the salt.
I’ve played around with the concept a bit lately, and the classic presentation is the best, although using salted butter is perfectly fine, if that’s all that’s around. Olive oil is a good substitute too. Or, if you’re ambitious, aioli. And company is not required – I have taken to having my radishes as a late afternoon snack.
Serve with Lillet on the rocks, with a wedge of orange.
And… if you buy your radishes at the farmers’ market or a shop that has the good sense to keep the greens on the top of the radishes by all means keep them to throw in the salad bowl, or sauté with (new) garlic in olive oil as a base for a simple pasta, or use them as you would any dark leafy green – they have their own lovely peppery flavour.
*Adler is not our only contemporary and articulate voice on this sort of thing, of course. In Canada, we’re lucky to have Laura Calder fighting the good fight, among others.


It was pretty impressive that the milquetoast House Republicans managed to unanimously oppose the Democrat's "stimulus" bill, and here's the how it happened. It sounds like the Republicans respect President Obama a lot more than they do their Democrat colleagues.
“We gave the president what he asked for, a temporary stimulus bill,” said a senior Republican, “at half the cost of what the Democrats wrote. He knows it. They handed him a monster of spending. Rahm did this, and now he takes this to the Senate. Does Rahm want to be an honest broker, or does he want to be the guy who socks Republicans in the face? He isn’t helping with the Democrats, and he’s hurting with the Republicans.”
“Polling showed us that when we took the vote, independent support for the bill was collapsing,” a senior Republican said. “Democratic support was climbing while the independents ran away.”
“What does Rahm do? Is he going to go to the Democrats and say ‘no’ to this? Or is he going to make his president sign it?”
Obama isn't a fool. I have a feeling (hope! change!) that the bill will be moderated in the Senate.

As the obesity epidemic in New Zealand surges ahead, more people are looking for real solutions. But interestingly, obesity figures are rising despite the fact that overall, the population’s energy intake has dropped.
The explanation for this seemingly bizarre coincidence is actually quite obvious. New Zealanders are simply less active. Most experts agree that people will lose weight if their energy output exceeds the energy they consume. This is referred to as creating a calorie deficit, and from a biological perspective there’s simply “no way around it”.
Couple this with the negative effects of being overweight, and voila the birth, rise and success of the “diet culture”! Which according to Reuters is actually an industry worth over $279 Billion globally. And this relatively recent rise of the diet industry is something we really should take note of. Because, it’s growing and anyone considering this track as a solution could feel overwhelmed.
And considering the myriad of weight loss schemes out there, if one actually delivered results consistently, shouldn’t it have survived the test of time? Because after all, our own Ministry of Health and the Best Practice Advocacy Centre New Zealand (BPAC) say that for anyone considering a diet, foremost on their list of priorities should be the longterm effectiveness of the diet and the health benefits. And this cautious approach is in line with many experts, including Traci Mann, who teaches psychology at the University of Minnesota and has been studying dieting for more than 25 years, the short answer to whether diets have withstood the test of time is “No, These companies make their money off failure, not success. They need you to fail, so you’ll pay them again. One-time customers are not the sort of thing that keep these diet companies in business”.
And I can personally add some observations to this. When I see people on diets alone, it typically follows a vicious cycle ultimately resulting in selfblame. Now, Mann has written extensively about the biological changes that occur. And, as it happens the odds are stacked against the dieter. According to Mann, “When people lose weight on a diet, they call it a success. And if the weight comes back on, they don’t say that the diet wasn’t successful — they say ‘I blew it.’ But that’s not correct. It’s all part of the diet”.
Now it’s unfair to say that there is no place for diets. There are various medical reasons people adopt a calorie restrictive diet not least of which may involve pre-gastrectomy surgery or controlling diabetes. But for those people it may be interesting to know that according to Ministry of Health and PABC there is “no consistent evidence that any one calorie-restricted diet is better than another at achieving weight loss”. So, there we have it, you could consider the less costly option. Good news indeed.
But if your goal is to lose weight and keep it off, our Ministry of Health suggests what most studies have also discovered. That you lose it at a realistic pace, that the food is healthy, leaves you satisfied and that you can maintain it long term. But just as importantly, it should be combined with regular exercise at medium intensity, because in the end it’s all about sustainability, and that simply doesn’t happen without positive lifestyle changes.
But, if dieting on a calorie restrictive plan is not the answer long term, it’s reasonable to say that similar practices in the exercise side of things would see similar results. This brings me to the “challenge fads” or time-specific programmes. These usually coincide with the onset of a new year or summer and last anywhere from 4 to 16 weeks promising huge physical changes.
Lee Suckling, a reporter with a master’s degree specialising in personal-health, says that “challenges rely on a four-part psychological format to get people on board, keep them on the programme and tell their friends all about how successful it is”.
A recent conversation with Toni, an exercise professional in the Auckland CBD highlighted a correlation between diets and running these intensive time-specific challenges where the focus is weight loss. But according to Toni, “The intensity during the challenge is extreme and comes to an abrupt end” She adds, “Participants find it very hard to maintain the routine without all the incentives, and usually end up putting the weight back on.”
So, where does the answer to long-term weight management and a healthier you lay. Well the solution is not that difficult. Yes, we need to look at nutrition, but we need to consider it in combination with manageable long-term lifestyle changes involving the right physical activity. What matters is that you make changes that are here to stay. And yes, there will be hard work along the way, but as you’ll look back, you’ll see improvements in everything you struggled with.
If you’re serious, contact me and we’ll design a programme that will work for you, we can do this … but It’s up to you.


FBI investigates link involving Sen. Ted Stevens of Alaska
Veco Corp. in 1999 captured a lucrative five-year foundation contract to provide logistics and support for polar research, although it had no previous experience in that field. In the same period, Veco’s top executive managed renovations that doubled the size of the longtime Republican senator’s Girdwood, Alaska, home — raided July 30 by the FBI.
Foundation spokesman Dana Cruikshank told McClatchy Newspapers the FBI had looked into the 1999 award, worth up to $70 million, and a 2004 follow-up contract for as many as seven years that the company values at up to $100 million.
Justice Department spokesman Bryan Sierra and an FBI spokeswoman, Deborah Weierman, declined to comment.
Veco’s founder and chief executive officer, Bill Allen, pleaded guilty in the spring to making $400,000 in illegal payments to Alaska lawmakers, including Stevens’ son, Ben Stevens, then-president of the Alaska Senate. Allen is cooperating in an FBI corruption investigation that also has led to the conviction of a second Veco executive, a lobbyist, and a former Alaska state representative. Three other state lawmakers are awaiting trial on bribery charges. Ben Stevens has not been charged.
Alaska’s sole congressman, U.S. Rep. Don Young, a Republican, is also under investigation for his ties to Veco.
There had been little hint as to how Veco might have benefited from the relationship its CEO had with the elder Stevens, who served for several years as the Senate Appropriations Committee chairman. Stevens also oversaw the foundation on the Senate Commerce Committee.
No evidence has surfaced that Stevens directly steered the contract to Veco, but his aggressive support for increased funding for arctic research coincided with the company’s sudden emergence as a major player in providing logistics for polar scientists.
Stevens, 83, would not comment on the investigation.

For decades, Taos Ski Valley has been a sacred refuge for powder heads who love the steep chutes, chokes and rock bands of the West Basin and the spectacular views from Highline Ridge.
More than half of the runs at New Mexico's prime ski destination are expert, and the real die-hards hike 45 minutes in deep snow to 12,481-foot Kachina Peak.
But this summer, Taoseños were effusive about the ski valley for another reason: "You must go up to Blake's for drinks," they said.
Change has been underway at the ski village since late 2013, when hedge fund billionaire and conservationist Louis Bacon, a winter regular, bought the sleepy resort from the children and grandchildren of its legendary founder, German immigrant Ernie Blake. Bacon has embarked on a $300 million revitalization to reimagine the resort as a first-class eco-destination.
Taos Ski Valley is now the only B-Corp certified ski resort in the world, meaning it operates with the environment in mind - from extreme energy efficiencies to responsible water use, waste reduction and land stewardship practices.
The most visible improvement so far is the $65 million, LEED-certified The Blake at Taos Ski Valley, the ultra-comfortable, 80-room hotel that opened this year at the heart of the village. The hotel's bar and restaurant, 192 (named for the tail number of the airplane Blake flew when he discovered the valley in the early 1950s) is now a highlight of Taos' emerging foodie scene.
We didn't have to be coaxed too hard to check out the bar one afternoon in August. We often make the 30-minute drive from Taos to hike or just enjoy the scenery: State Highway 150 winds up through the Hondo Valley, passing through the quaint adobe town of Arroyo Seco (home of Taos Cow Ice Cream - need I say more?) before rising steeply through rocky crags and forest alongside the rushing Rio Hondo. Even on hot days, the car's temperature gauge drops steadily with the altitude, and it's always thrillingly cool at the village.
This time, a chilly rain fell outside as we cozied up to the bar's kiva fireplace, happy to find a drink menu that pleased everyone in our crowd - top-shelf tequila, seasonal and craft beers from local favorite Taos Mesa Brewing, a well-curated wine list and locally blended teas. Chef Patrick Gharrity's decadent herbed flatbread with carne asada, New Mexico blue cheese, caramelized onions and a pile of arugula also hit the spot.
Accommodating skiers and hikers who may be on different clocks, the menu includes a nice selection of shared plates, salads and pizzas as well as sophisticated entrees that appeal to delicate or hearty diners, from grilled wild salmon or cornmeal-crusted trout to Kobe burgers and a grilled New York strip steak.
The casual, refined décor throughout The Blake - beautifully executed by Santa Fe's Los Griegos Studio - evokes the simple sturdiness of the Arts and Crafts era, with a dose of Southwestern soul. The hallways and lobbies hold an impressive collection of alpine artifacts, vintage photographs, Native American objects and some beautiful paintings and prints by members of the famous Taos Society of Artists.
Blissful indulgences abound at the Spa at The Blake, where some of the massages are geared to guests who've overexerted themselves on the slopes. A number of the skin and body treatments employ high-desert-inspired aromatherapies - sage, lavender, piñon and such. One can never have enough lotion in this part of the world, and staffers blend custom body butters, based on your birth date or mood preference, in the spa's nice shop.
We were near the end of our vacation when we visited, but so enamored, we extended our trip a day and booked a suite at The Blake. The hotel's two bottom floors aren't just dog friendly; our Wheaten terrier got his own plush bed. With a deliciously deep, down duvet on the comfy human bed in the master bedroom, a spacious living-dining area, a cool kitchenette and two full, luxuriously appointed baths, all we needed was more time to enjoy this magical place.
For now, it's still a bit of a secret.
"Don't come to Taos if you like crowds," said Daniel Aguilar, the manager of the valley's decades-old Taos Sports shop, now incorporated into The Blake's retail floor. In the past, Taos has averaged less than 240,000 "skier days," far less than the 2 million Colorado's busy resorts can see in a good year, Aguilar said.
But this year marks The Blake's first full ski season, and the hotel, its restaurant and spa aren't the only enticements. There's decent shopping, especially for luxe, Peruvian wool sweaters at Andean Software and rugged outdoor wear at Taos Sports, Cottam's Ski Shop and Bootdoctors.
A chairlift now whisks visitors to the top of Kachina Peak in five minutes, lower slopes have been re-graded for beginner and intermediate skiers, and the children's center - part of the renowned Ernie Blake Snowsports School - has been renovated. Ski season at Taos Ski Valley begins Thanksgiving weekend. On your mark, get set, go.
Rates at The Blake at Taos Ski Valley are $182-$750 per night; 800-776-1111; skitaos.com.
Taos' foodie scene is on the rise
You might be tempted to stay put at Taos Ski Valley, but down the mountain, a thriving local, organic food movement is driving the dining scene. The Taos Farmer's Market turns Saturdays into feast days during the summer. Here are a few of the best new places to dive in during winter.
Chokolá Bean to Bar:
Hmmm: A single-origin chocolate bar with notes of caramel, pineapple and honey; or green apples, red fruit and wood? When we visited, tasting flights involved cacao beans from Bolivia, Belize, Madagascar and Tanzania, as delicately nuanced as fine wines. Take all you can pack to go, including beautiful chocolate pastries; or treat yourself at the small café, where the menu includes sipping chocolates, gelatos and mousse. 106B San Largo Lane, Taos; chokolabeantobar.com.
The Love Apple - a romantic, farm-to-table restaurant in an old adobe church - is only open for dinner. But fans of proprietor Jen Hart's food and aesthetics can now enjoy breakfast, lunch and light shopping at her just-as-special new place. We love the communal table full of classic cookbooks and the goods by local artisans, ranging from foodstuffs to aprons. Take home a tin of High Desert Sage tea from the local company tea.o.graphy. 103 N. Plaza; manzanitamarket.net.
Wild Leaven Bakery:
The loaves here look like bricks, but we were sold from the first bite of sourdough with rye, molasses and fennel - a hearty, nutty rustic loaf that's about six months in the making, if you count the time spent sprouting the ancient, organic grains and putting them through a cool-dry fermentation process. The bakery also serves up soups, sandwiches and drinks. 216 Paseo del Pueblo Norte; 760-828-0764.
New York-trained chef Andrew Horton dishes up hot, locally sourced amazements from a 4,000-pound wood stove, pleasing carnivores and vegetarians alike. Owner Andy Lunch, a sommelier, pours from a great selection of wines. The flatbreads begin with a highly tended mother dough. It's almost not important that on temperate days, the view from the patio is divine. 88 NM150, El Prado; 505-803-9113, taoscommonfire.com.

So I had a couple nights of creativity this weekend. As I'm sure you can tell, I don't really make things up much. Sure I tweak and play and bend, but it's usually based off of something someone else has made already. So it was fun for me to do something a little more off the cuff. I'm not going to file this under recipes, because there isn't really a recipe, more of a formula for delicious things. But the two sandwiches I came up with were both awesome and worth eating.
Here was the process: Go over to a friend's house with a grill... go to the grocery store and have the friend and the husband both get filet mignon to grill... since filet mignon is not on my menu of things I eat, go searching around the store for something else to grill... find these Portobello Chicken and Turkey sausages... decide they look awesome... have them derided by our friend as "not red enough"... and bring them home.
So to prepare them the first night, and prove to the guys that my meal was going to be as delicious as theirs, I grilled them till they were all crispy outside, grilled some baby bello mushrooms, sliced up some little tomatoes, grill toasted some grainy bread, and added some mayo on top and viola, awesome sausage sandwich. I though they were amazing, filet mignon be darned.
So the next night I still had some grilled sausages to play with. So this time, I toasted some sourdough, again with the mayo, but this time with some sliced piquillo peppers and basil thrown on there. Mmmmm. Just as good. Possibly better.
End formula? Grill meat. Toast bread. Add oil/butter/mayo/fat substance. Add veggies to taste. Eat. Now if only I can find some focaccia next time, life will be perfect.

For busy working women, the suit is often the easiest outfit to throw on in the morning. In general, this feature is not about interview suits for women, which should be as classic and basic as you get — instead, this feature is about the slightly different suit that is fashionable, yet professional.
I love this “wool-blend crepe jersey” Armani suit. I know, it seems like I’m always saying that, but they’re always gorgeous! Love the two-way collar here — you can wear it opened (as shown above) or closed (as shown below). The skirt looks like a good basic, as well. The jacket (Armani Collezioni Crepe Jersey Blazer) is $1525, and the skirt (Armani Collezioni Crepe Jersey Pencil Skirt) is $425.

Memorial Day weekend is but right around the corner (Literally) and everybody...
Did You Know? R&B Singer Syleena Johnson and Chad Ochocinco were Brother and Sister
Yesterday I posted the story of how Syl Johnson, father of Chad Ochocinco, is suing both Jay Z and Kanye West for sampling his music on the Watch the Throne album. What shocked me and many of my readers the most, was to find out that R&B singer Syleena Johnson is the daughter to Syl Johnson, making her also the sister to Patriots most hated Chad Ochocinco-Lozada.
Syleena Johnson was tied in to the mix because although her father is suing rapper Kanye West, you may recall that Syleena Johnson was the vocals on Kanye’s hit “All Falls Down.”
Just a few months ago I shared with you guys Syleena Johnson’s newest video “A Boss” where Chad played the leading role. At the time I was unaware that the two were siblings. Check out the pics below of Syleena.Is there any resemblence? No? Yes? *shrugs
Syleena has some great vocals, this makes me wonder. Does Chad have a deep talent he has yet to share with us? Can he bust a note? Love this song. Listen to Syleena Johnson on Kanye’s All Falls Down song, although she’s not in the video, Stacey Dash does a wonderful job.

2.4 jtd 10v wont start
Hi all new to the forum.
Been over to 156 forum but no one can seem to help.
My poor alfa starting struggling to start when warm so changed the crank sensor had the fault code cleared, when in for service, but no the engine wont start when cold!
Had the car diagnosed. Came back with two faults. One Being the crank sensor which I have replaced so fault was cleared when diagnosed. The other being glow plug circuit. Mechanic said that two of the plugs were down. They have been replaced but still the car struggles to start. Was fine only 3 days ago. Fuel is present. Strong cranking, crank sensor replaced, faulty glow plugs replaced. What would be next on the list to do?
Just trying to work with my mechanic as best I can to give him any help in the right direction.
He has tried new battery but our battery is fine.
Could it be the EGR valve or bad ground connection as I have read somewhere?
