A middle-aged school teacher and mother of one allegedly killed her three-year-old son before allegedly committing suicide in the Ayobo area of Lagos state today Saturday March 30th.
According to reports, the woman whose identity is yet to be revealed, lived a comfortable life with her son at their home on No 1, Adeniran Street, off Ferguson Osagie Road in Ayobo. Her husband is said to be based abroad.
Residents say she was financially comfortable and had no known trouble that may have led her to kill her son and then take her own life.
Officers from the Ayobo Police Station who were invited after the incident was discovered, say they are not ruling out possible double homicide as the deceased and her son were foaming from the mouth when they were found dead inside their home.
The remains of the deceased mother and child have not been moved as the tradition in Ayobo area is that when sudden and unexplained deaths occur, the Oro cult is always consulted to find out the cause of death and to ward off evil spirits that may have been unleashed of the sudden mysterious death.
Reports say the two corpses are currently lying in the house awaiting the Oro rituals before they are moved.

Three Romanian creatives are part of the ADC*E Awards 2019's jury
Laura Nedelschi, Ema Prisca and Liviu Turcanu, all ADC*RO members, will be in Barcelona for the 28th edition of ADC*E Awards.
ADC*E Awards is the only international competition which gathers the best campaigns and design projects from Europe, giving them visibility and promoting them internationally. The ADCE Awards are unique in that only creative work that has been awarded at a local European show is eligible, ensuring an elite selection in which every single entry that a judge sees has already been nominated as a standout piece of creativity.
In total, 58 leading creatives and designers have been selected from 21 European countries to judge the projects submitted in the following ADC*E Awards categories: Film & Radio, Print & Outdoor, Interactive & Mobile, Graphic Design, Promotions & New Media and Integration & Innovation.
"I look forward to this experience, especially since I will judge in a category where we'll have integrated campaigns, heavyweight advertising, made with strategical thinking and sense of responsibility – but also forward thinking projects", told us Laura Nedelschi, Independent Creative Director, member of jury in the Integration & Innovation category.
"ADC Europe Awards is the place where you can get an overview of the European creativity. I think it's very useful to contextualize your personal work and also your country's. To see where you are, comparing to Czechs, Spaniards or Lithuanians. I really enjoy seeing how other countries solve the global-local tension", shared with us Ema Prisca, Independent Creative Director, part of the selection process for the Film & Radio category.
"ADC Europe Awards is a very special festival for us, the European creatives; it's the competitive league of the European creativity where you can objectively evaluate your thinking and your creative effort. The effervescent spirit of the creatives that will judge this competition will create very strong debates, inspirational to all of us. And in the end, you will find the desire to get better, more competitive both in your country and on the European level. And this is the greatest win." said Liviu Țurcanu, Creative Director Mercury360, who will judge the projects submitted in the Promotions & New Media category.
The ADCE Awards return as part of the ADCE European Creativity Festival (8-9 November) at the Design Hub Barcelona. This year's theme will be "Celebrating the people who are already building a better tomorrow" and will focus on those who employ their creativity for good and believe tomorrow's problems will not exist if we start today.
The judging process will be made under the leadership of an Overall Jury President - Dörte Spengler-Ahrens, Managing Creative Director at Jung von Matt/SAGA and Vice President of the Art Directors Club of Germany.

With increasing competition, fast-changing market conditions, ever-expanding compliance requirements and rising stakeholder expectations, the boards of directors and the managements of conglomerates are under pressure, more than ever, to adopt and implement formal methods, techniques and tools of corporate governance. This decade has witnessed the appearance and use of standards and codes of practice related to different areas of corporate governance. Enterprises can adopt and implement these standards and codes of practice to give themselves solid and durable foundations, a reputation of honesty and transparency, and a basis for efficient and profitable operation.
The standards and codes that are most important in this regard are as follows.
The adoption and implementation of these standards, best practices and codes is a complicated, time-consuming and costly process. We have a history of helping companies adopt and implement these statutes in an optimum manner to achieve maximum business and competitive advantage.

Finding good places to eat in Prague is very easy. It's a foodie city, for sure, and that's one of the reasons why I love Prague so much. The city is literally stuffed with nice and cheap restaurants & bars. You can easily eat a decent meal for under €10,- if you know where to look. Of course, in the touristy centre you'll pay a bit more, but it's still affordable.
The boyfriend loves burgers, a lot. So of course I searched for the best burger place in Prague. I found it: Sad Man's Tongue. The whole thing looks like you step into an American 50's style diner. They have a fair amount of burgers on the menu, some pretty standard, others a bit more unique. Good news for all vegetarians: the veggie burger menu is just as big as the regular burger menu.
The burger is served with delicious fries with chili mayonnaise, and you can order side dishes like cole slaw as well.
Story time: I asked the waiter why the restaurant is called Sad Man's Tongue. So the guy who owns the place is a huge Johnny Cash fan. The band Volbeat made the song Sad Man's Tongue as an ode to Johnny Cash. He liked that, so he named his restaurant after the song.
Although we had an AirBnB with a fully equipped kitchen, we didn't use it at all. There were so many places to eat in Prague, so hell no I'm not going to cook myself. That meant going out for breakfast as well. If you are looking for a nice bagel, then Just! Bagel is the place to go. A super small little restaurant with a gazillion bagels to choose from. Really fresh, really yummy.
This restaurant was actually pretty close to our AirBnB, and I'm a sucker for Asian food. So this was a no-brainer. They specialize in Thai and Vietnamese cuisine. And let me tell you: it's delish. We started off with fried spring rolls for the bf and fresh spring rolls with dipping sauce for me. Best. I. Ever. Had.
After that, a big bowl of Pho. De-li-cious. And the total of our bill was only €29,50! If you are into Asian food, go here. You won't be disappointed!
If you like steaks (and don't want to pay top dollar for them), Crazy Cow Steakhouse is definitely worth a visit. The restaurant is near the main square, so it's a bit more expensive than the other restaurants in this list. If you order the steak, all you get is a steak. All the other side dishes are extra orders. We weren't super hungry, so we ordered nachos as a starter, and as a main we both got a steak and shared one portion of fries and one portion of coleslaw. For us this was perfect.
Okay, not really a restaurant, but definitely a place to visit if you ask me. This is where you can get the famous Trdelnik, also known as Chimney cake.
Something to keep in mind: many restaurants in Prague are cash only. So no debit or credit cards. This is definitely the case at Sad Man's Tongue and Crazy Cow Steakhouse. I can't really remember if the other ones were cash only as well.

Chinese New Year in Singapore: A Video on the Happiness Creator Machine
By: Tiffany Goh | Feb 14, 2014
The Lunar New Year is a time when Chinese families around the world return home to celebrate togetherness and kinship. Singapore, a multi-racial country with almost 75% of its population made up of Chinese, is no stranger to annual Lunar New Year festivities and traditions. During this period, Chinese families all around the country open up their houses for family gatherings as the younger generation visit the older members of the family to pay their respects.
In recent years, following on the wave of smartphones and tablets, a technologically savvy generation has grown up in Singapore. The country holds the highest smartphone penetration in Asia Pacific at 87%, evident by the common sight of youngsters constantly with their heads down absorbed in their phones. This increasing phenomenon has contributed to a widening rift between the older and younger generations, especially heightened when both are brought together during Lunar New Year family gatherings.
Based on this local insight, Coca-Cola Singapore decided to create shared moments of happiness for the generations this Lunar New Year by bringing the young and old together through the Coca-Cola Happiness Creator Machines. Part of a larger "Happiness Creators" Lunar New Year integrated campaign, two machines were deployed in different parts of the island. One machine each was placed at a location frequented by the young, and the other at a location frequented by the old. These machines were interactive and allowed those at one location to view and interact with those at the other location.
Participants were encouraged to put a smile on the faces of those, from another generation, standing in front of the machine at the other location. All were given fun props to play with such as big sunglasses, wacky headdresses, and the Coca-Cola Lunar New Year limited edition "lion head" packaging, a fun play on a traditional icon of Lunar New Year celebrations. People of all ages broke out in a variety of spontaneous antics, ranging from dances to guitar performances to traditional Lunar New year greetings. Participants then jointly touched the screens of the machines to facilitate the gifting of a surprise to the person on the other side, bringing much joy through unexpected items that came out of the machines such as cans of abalone, Coca-Cola collectibles, and even a foldable bike!
The Coca-Cola Happiness Creator Machines generated much shared laughter and brought the message that the generations can come together by creating happiness for each other in the simplest of ways. The larger "Happiness Creators" Lunar New Year integrated campaign in Singapore also included a national in-store promotion which encouraged consumers to create happiness at home with Coca-Cola Singapore's portfolio of products, a TV commercial which featured happiness creators during Lunar New Year family gatherings, a local celebrity Romeo Tan sharing how he creates happiness and encouraging others to do the same, all of which laddered up to an online contest which encouraged Singaporeans to share stories of how they have created happiness for others this Lunar New Year, for a chance to once again be a happiness creator by bringing his/her loved ones on an overseas getaway.

As I grow, I learn. My desires from a relationship have changed over the course of time. Now I no longer want someone who says they would be with me forever, and I no longer want someone who says they would never leave me. I am not looking for someone who is always neatly dressed up, or wears shiny shoes, or has an amazing sense of humour. I am not looking for someone who has the false sense of love, and thinks that love is finding that one perfect person, or someone who is trying to check items off their list while they search for "the one".
I want someone who understands that "the one" is a fairy tale, and though fairy tales do happen in real life, they take much more work than the Cinderella finding her prince charming by walking into a party. Every fairy tale ends with "happily ever after", I want someone who realizes that the "happily ever afters" are a lot of hard work. As I grow, I have learnt that the physical traits matter less and less and loyalty and undivided attention are the most important traits in a relationship. I don't want someone who sugar coats everything, and never gets angry. I want someone who is raw, and real, and tells me how it really is. I am more interested in someone who realizes that sometimes life happens and sometimes things don't work out. I want to be able to make a conversation with them, for four hours straight, and not feel bored, unwanted and feel like they are not listening. I want someone who wants to know how my day was, always. As I grow, I have learnt that privacy is important, and there is only so much time that we all have on this earth and only so many people that we can spend it with.
I want someone who wants to spend their time with me as much as I want to spend time with them, any less is just not good enough. I want someone who admits that they really like my company rather than playing games. But alas, modern dating means games have become the norm, and I don't have time or patience to play along.

O Presidente do Congresso Continental foi o presidente do Congresso Continental, a convenção de delegados que emergiu como o primeiro governo nacional dos Estados Unidos durante a Revolução Americana. O presidente foi um membro do Congresso eleito pelos outros delegados para servir como um moderador imparcial durante os encontros do Congresso. Designado para uma posição largamente cerimonial, mas sem muita influência, o gabinete foi substituído pelo posterior gabinete do Presidente dos Estados Unidos.

O primeiro Presidente do Congresso foi Peyton Randolph, que foi eleito no dia 5 de setembro de 1774. O último presidente, Cyrus Griffin, renunciou em novembro de 1778. Por causa do papel limitado do gabinete, os Presidentes do Congresso são menos conhecidos do que os líderes da Revolução Americana. O mais conhecido é John Hancock, lembrado por sua grande assinatura na Declaração de Independência dos Estados Unidos, que foi adotada e assinada durante sua presidência.

Título
O presidente do Congresso Continental era normalmente chamado de "Presidente do Congresso". Depois que os Artigos da Confederação foram adotados no dia 1 de março de 1781, o Congresso Continental, previamente oficialmente chamado simplesmente de "O Congresso", se tornou oficialmente conhecido como "Os Estados Unidos Reunidos em Congresso". Depois disso, o presidente era ocasionalmente referido como "O Presidente dos Estados Unidos Reunidos em Congresso", apesar de que, "Presidente do Congresso", continuou a ser usado na maioria dos documentos oficiais.

Papel
O Presidente do Congresso era, por desígnio, uma posição com pouca autoridade. O Congresso Continental, com medo de que um poder político fosse concentrado em uma só pessoa, deu ao seu presidente ainda menos responsabilidades do que os oradores das casas baixas das assembleias coloniais. Diferente de alguns oradores coloniais, o Presidente do Congresso não podia, por exemplo, definir a agenda legislativa ou apontar comitês. O presidente não podia encontrar pessoalmente com líderes estrangeiros; tais reuniões eram feitas com comitês ou com todo o Congresso.

A presidência era uma grande posição cerimonial. Seu papel principal era presidir as reuniões do Congresso, servindo como um moderador imparcial durante os debates.

Halloween parties can be low brow red cup affairs, or high class experiences with all the right spooky touches. The cocktails below are definitely of the fancier variety, but hey, when you're using ingredients like these, go big or grab your pet spider and go home.
The colour of the vodka is changed by adding catechu, a herb found in southern Asia and central and east Africa. Rich in tannin, catechu has no effect on vodka's flavour.
Stir like a vodka martini and serve with an orange twist.
Muddle berries and add the remaining ingredients. Shake and strain into a 12oz hiball. Top with soda. Garnish with a blackberry and a lemon twist.


Fund-raising for sub-Saharan African private equity funds was $1.056 billion in January to June 2011, down 5% from $1.11 bn in the first half of 2010. This includes the success of African manager Helios Investment Partners, who announced in June they had raised $900 million for Helios II fund. Total SSA fund-raising in 2010 was $1.5 bn, according to latest figures from the Emerging Markets Private Equity Association (www.empea.net). From market information, African Capital Markets News hears some Africa-focused funds struggled to raise capital.
However, there is a strong move into emerging markets private equity funds as managers hunt for returns, and as emerging markets investors turn to private equity. Total fund-raising for emerging markets funds for the first half of 2011 was $22.6 bn, according to EMPEA, more than double the activity of the first half of 2010. The level of fund raising for the first half is the highest since 2008, when $29 bn was raised in the first half for emerging markets funds.
In the first half of this year, 70% of funds were raised for China, India and Brazil, compared to 50% share in 2010, and $10.3 bn was raised for China funds, 45% of all capital raised. Yuan-denominated funds (56% by number of the Chinese funds) drew participation from Chinese investors including government agencies and contributed 40% of the capital raised. Brazil has two billion-dollar-plus funds that closed on $3bn in the first half and two more are raising $3bn in the current quarter. Some capital into 11 Latin American funds came from local institutions, including pension funds.
Sarah Alexander, President and CEO of EMPEA, said in a press announcement: "Western institutions are continuing to seek greater exposure to the world's fastest-growing markets, and institutions in the emerging markets themselves are significantly ramping up their investment in the asset class. Fundraising activity in the first six months of 2011 reached almost full-year 2010 levels, and we estimate that fundraising for the full year could reach US$40 bn or more, which would exceed the 2006 total.
The pace of funds making investments into private equity transactions is relatively steady. According to EMPEA, there were 431 deals valued at $14.1 bn in the 6 months to June, compared with 434 deals valued at $12.8 bn during the same period in 2010, and 856 investments totaling $28.8 bn across emerging markets in 2010. China and India together captured 68% of the total invested and 54% of the transactions. A total of $5.8 bn was invested into 136 China deals, accounting for 41% of the total in the first half (up from 19% in 2008) and $3.8 bn into 142 Indian deals.
In sub-Saharan Africa a total of 18 equity investments totaling $256m were completed during the first half of 2011, down from 25 transactions (totaling $186m) in the first half of 2010 and a full total of 48 transactions totaling $631m for the full year. EMPEA says that although activity is concentrated in larger and more mature private equity markets, investments took place across 54 countries in the first six months of 2011, including more nascent markets such as Honduras, Laos, Madagascar, Mongolia and Uruguay.
