| Is palm oil bad for you? Here’s the full story on this controversial ingredient Posted: 24 Aug 2019 11:30 PM PDT  All around the world, palm oil consumption is increasing. However, it is a highly controversial food. On one hand, it's reported to provide several health benefits. On the other, it may pose risks to heart health. Palm oil is in greater demand these days because the United States banned the addition of trans fats to food and many manufacturers have turned to palm oil, which is an inexpensive substitute. Palm oil comes from the fleshy fruit of oil palms. Unrefined palm oil is sometimes referred to as red palm oil because of its reddish-orange color. Palm oil is also used for cooking because of its high smoke point which means it's better suited for cooking foods at high temperatures. In terms of flavor, palm oil gives food a creamier, fattier mouthfeel. Palm oil is also versatile. It can be processed and blended to produce a vast range of products with different characteristics. However, palm oil, palm kernel oil, and coconut oil, all the so-called tropical oils, have gotten a bad reputation because they're high in saturated fat, which has long been linked to heart disease. Despite its high content of vitamin E, vitamin K and monounsaturated fats, palm oil may not be as healthy as most people think. Its saturated fat content might pose some risks to cardiovascular function. Considering this information, it's safe to say to palm oil health risks are negligible. Remember, moderation is the key. If you consume this oil as part of a balanced diet and don't go overboard, you're unlikely to experience side effects. While palm oil isn't as unhealthy as trans fats, it's better to go with healthier cooking oil options when you prepare food at home or eat out, such as olive oil.  | ||
| The truth about penis stretching Posted: 24 Aug 2019 11:00 PM PDT  Penis stretching refers to using your hands or a device to increase the length or girth of your penis. Most people who consider penis enlargement treatments have normal-sized penises, meaning that they are adequately sized for sexual activity and urination. Penises come in all shapes and sizes, and they can vary considerably. According to Medical News Today, a 2014 study, which included 15,521 men from around the world, determined that:
The authors estimated that 5 percent of men have an erect penis longer than 16 cm. In another 5 percent, the erect penis would be shorter than around 10 cm. Manufacturers claim that products, including pills, creams, and stretching devices, can increase penis size. Some people also consider surgery. Although evidence exists to suggest that stretching can increase your size, the results are usually minimal. In some cases, they may even be temporary so make sure you adjust your expectations before trying any exercises. According to Healthline,one 2010 review reported that men who used the Andropenis stretching device saw an increase in size with extended daily use. Participants used the device for six hours per day over the course of four months. They gained anywhere from 1.8 to 3.1 centimeters (cm) in length. You can learn more about how penis stretching works, how to set realistic expectations, and safe stretching techniques you can try at home in this helpful guide. Make sure your safety is paramount and that you aren't stretching your body beyond its limits. Risks Several structures within the penis allow it to perform its main functions of urination and ejaculation:
Any procedure focused on making the penis larger can damage these structures, potentially causing sexual dysfunction,2 trouble urinating, or interfering with blood flow in the penis. Safe stretching exercises Before you do any manual stretching:
To manually stretch your penis:
Grip the head of your penis.
Put your index finger and thumb in an O shape.

| Is it a right or a privilege to have access to your partner's phones? Posted: 24 Aug 2019 10:30 PM PDT  Some issues remain ever-valid. So far we've got society and a premium continues to be placed on happy, longlasting marriages, then you can always expect that the conversation on what it takes to make a marriage work for long will never cease being part of our relationship talk repertoire. Cheating and all of its attendant angles and dimensions will always be spoken about, too. Because, hey, when have people never cheated? And as it is, the age of technology and social media has contributed its own quota to the list of things we may always have to talk about. Access to one's partner's mobile devices and other private gadgets – a right or privilege? So, to quickly make one thing clear, there is a presumption here that your partner should have some form of access to your device[s]. The question now is how far is that access to be taken? Is it obtained by right, the moment y'all became a couple, or is it something subject to being granted. Is it something you can't be denied of, or something that is freely given because the other person deems it the right thing to do? To simplify the question further: should a man automatically get access to a woman's devices when the relationship begins or does the woman retain the right to either give it or withhold it? Some say it's a right Jonathan Hoover of lifeinacrazyworld dot com rants on the issue: "What privacy? I don't remember that being part of the marriage deal. When I get up in the morning, my wife sees me in all my unadorned, pudgy gutted, hairy-legged, bad-breath surrounded glory. If ever there were a time when she might wish that I would want privacy… that might be it. But the truth is marriage and privacy don't really mix. "When you choose to spend the rest of your life in emotionally and physically intimate contact with another person, transparency is simply part of what you bargain for. "An invasion of my privacy? I don't think so. It's an invitation to intimacy." Some of the people I asked have similar opinions. Joy says: "In marriage it should be automatic... in other forms it can be flexible. Marriage is no longer child's play and damage cannot be afforded." It's a privilege, according to some others Believers in this, such as Kemi, a Lagosian, say that you are not entitled to these things as a matter of right. It is meant to be granted. "I feel everyone is entitled to a level of privacy even in relationships. Plus we all have some things in our lives which we'd prefer to leave unseen or unsaid, things we're not proud of and these gadgets sometimes happen to house those things so please do not touch my gadgets without my approval. Boundaries, please," she says. Adeola, engaged to be married, also tells me the same thing. "With my own relationship, we are an open book - I check his phone when I please, and he can check mine. If there's nothing to hide, I do not see the big deal in your partner having access to your digital footprints." But, according to her, the relationship is open because she and her partner both realise that that is the best way, not because it is an entitlement. They both see it as a privilege, as opposed to regarding it as a right.  | ||

Admitting that she is not close to being a super model, Eva however stated that she has lived the modelling life and has also been paid to do the work which started off with what she said about herself. She wrote;  If you Laugh, I'll Konk you, I was about 15 or so and Legit told the photographer in the studio that I was a Model and needed new profile photos. Model?? Elohor stop playing Well fast forward to my now present Life, I have lived that dream and posed for brands from around the world. I remember most of my casting auditions from those years. They always said I wasn't tall enough, wasn't Yellow enough, (all the models then were all lightskinned) and I wasn't whatever else enough. I hated that shit and swore I was still going to be a Delta Soap girl, That was all I wanted at the time. (It didn't happen ) Much bigger things have happened in my life thankfully. I am not anywhere close to being a super model but I have lived the modelling life, I have been paid to do the work. Of course back then I didn't know what the future held for me, all I had was my Word and a Vision of where I wanted to go. "In the beginning was the Word.." Yes? The same has happened in my Career as a Performing artiste and Rapper. As an Actress. As a Writer. As a Life Giver. I am Living the Life I Spoke of myself. I am seeing it all unfold before my eyes every single day and I know you have experienced the same in your Life too in some way. Please Understand, Your Word has Creating Power. Know this, Internalize it. When you speak with intent, and full conscious awareness, Magic happens. We literally create our world. It is the God factor about us that is ever present and no one can take it away from you.   | ||
| Exact Date and State Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin Are Having Their Wedding Posted: 24 Aug 2019 02:30 AM PDT  Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin have at long last sent out their fourth and final save the date invitation for their second wedding for family and friends. (The two wed secretly in a New York City courthouse last September.) TMZ got a glimpse of the comic-style invitation (which you can see here on TMZ's site), along with the official date they picked. The Biebers will be celebrating their first wedding anniversary and marriage with friends on September 30.  And it won't be in Canada or New York, where Bieber and Baldwin's families are from respectively. It'll be in South Carolina. Where specifically hasn't been revealed yet, but TMZ notes that Baldwin and Bieber were seen out in Palmetto Bluff in South Carolina's Lowcountry this summer. It's waterfront and idyllic. Multiple sources told TMZ that Mindy Weiss, the party planner behind some of the Kardashians' biggest bashes, is working on the wedding. People reported earlier this week that Baldwin has been working with the couple's planner, presumably Weiss. "They decided in May that they would get married in September, so they have been planning for a while," a source close to Bieber said. "Hailey works with a planner." Bieber just last week posted an Instagram tribute on his account that paid tribute to Baldwin ahead of their formal nuptials. He wrote, "I fall more in love with you every single day. You are the greatest thing that has ever happened to me. I would be lost with out you. #wifeyappreciationday."     | ||
| Barack And Michelle Obama Join Hollywood; Makes First Movie Debut With “American Factory” Posted: 24 Aug 2019 02:00 AM PDT  Barack and Michelle Obama made their Hollywood debut on Wednesday with a documentary set in industrial Ohio that film reviewers are calling compelling and timely. "American Factory," the story of what happened when a Chinese company took over an abandoned General Motors plant, is the first product of a multi-year collaboration between Netflix (NFLX.O) and Higher Ground, the production company formed last year by the former U.S. president and first lady. "A good story gives you the chance to better understand someone else's life. It can help you find common ground. And it's why Michelle and I were drawn to Higher Ground's first film," Obama said in a Twitter post on Wednesday. The documentary traces the lives of thousands of workers laid off from their auto jobs in Moraine, Ohio, in the 2008 recession, some of whom were hired six years later by Chinese company Fuyao Glass America to make automotive glass in the same plant. The Washington Post called "American Factory," which arrived on Netflix on Wednesday, "a perfect vehicle for (Higher Ground's) mission to lift up stories from underrepresented groups." "We want people to be able to get outside of themselves and experience and understand the lives of somebody else," Obama told filmmakers Julia Reichert and Steven Bognar in a promotional video released by Netflix. Michelle Obama told the filmmakers she was particularly struck by the opening scenes of workers on the factory floor. "That was my background, that was my father," she said. "One of the many things I love about this film… is that you let people tell their own story. "American Factory' doesn't come in with a perspective; it's not an editorial." The Los Angeles Times called the documentary "compelling," and pop culture website Vox.com said it was "a fascinating peek into the challenges of globalization." It received a 97% approval rate on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes. Under the Netflix deal, Higher Ground will produce, curate and acquire content for distribution on the streaming service. The value of the deal is not known. Upcoming programming will include an adaptation of Pulitzer Prize-winning book "Frederick Douglass: Prophet of Freedom" by David W. Blight about the slavery abolitionist, a period drama set in the fashion world and a series for pre-schoolers focusing on healthy eating.  | ||

| Busola Dakolo Reveals Fatoyinbo snubs panel as PFN concludes investigation Posted: 24 Aug 2019 01:00 AM PDT
The PFN National Publicity Secretary, Bishop Emma Isong, said the committee spoke to the parties involved in the matter. However, he said Fatoyinbo refused to honour invitations, despite efforts by the committee members and leadership of the Christian body. He spoke during a briefing at Ikeja, Lagos. He said, "You will recall that at the beginning of this issue, many questions were asked as to what has the PFN done and what has been our reaction on this matter especially by journalists and well-meaning Nigerians. We appreciate that expectations were high and subsequently the national president of PFN, Dr Omobude, and our national leaders set up a high-powered fact-finding panel made up of men and women of integrity and wisdom. "The panel, which met for more than a month, had several meetings and interfaced with several parties that were connected with this matter. "Unfortunately, several attempts to meet Pastor Biodun of COZA church, who is one of the important parties in this matter, failed despite efforts by the fact-finding committee to get his attention or appearance. "The PFN, however, appreciates the respect that Mrs Dakolo gave in her personal appearance, together with her husband, to state her side of the story. "Arising from this, the PFN, unfortunately, wishes to announce its inability to come into a conclusion on this matter. We may make a further statement on a later date. But certainly, for now, Nigerians and well-meaning people are our witnesses that we have fulfilled scriptural, public and moral expectations as a reasonable and legal organisation." Asked efforts made to reach Fatoyinbo, the PFN leader said invitations were sent to the church and through Fatoyinbo's proxies, which were received. He said people also reached out to the senior pastor but he declined to show up. Isong noted that the COZA pastor had solicited the intervention of the Christian body in the matter at the initial stage, expressing the disappointment of the PFN. Isong emphasised that the body had concluded its intervention in the matter. One of our Correspondents reports that efforts to get Fatoyinbo's reaction to the PFN's comments proved abortive, as multiple messages and emails sent to COZA via the church's website, official Facebook page and email addresses were not replied as of Press time. Fatoyinbo had been accused by Busola of raping her when she was 17. In a recorded video interview, she had alleged that the sexual assault occurred twice and she was speaking up to help other females. Fatoyinbo had denied the allegations and threatened a lawsuit. Many Nigerians had called for an investigation into the matter as some protested at the COZA headquarters in Abuja. The police had promised to investigate the case as the wife of the president, Aisha Buhari, also demanded that whoever was in the wrong be brought to book.  | ||

In a message on Instagram on Thursday, the philanthropist said he was set to hit his 'biggest' business deal, an indication he would be announcing his new investment deal in days.
