These were the words of Mayor Wilma Gattud of Tubo, Abra who was among the participants in a recent Pantawid Pamilya Rural Women's Congress held in Baguio City.

Among the topics discussed during the two-day congress include the conditional cash transfer, women's situation and Cordillera women's challenges.
"As women, we should be empowered and be a part of the community development" also shared Kibungan Vice Mayor Aureiana Sacpa.
As a result, an action plan for the each sector (local government unit, non-government organizations and beneficiaries) was crafted and presented. The action plan, according to Pantawid Pamilya Deputy Program Manager Janet P. Armas will help advocate the program and increase women's participation in community affairs.
Meanwhile, Pantawid Pamilya Gender and Indigenous Peoples Focal Person Krystle Segwaben emphasized that the activity is a share of the Pantawid Pamilya in meeting the Millennium Development Goals particularly Gender Equality and Women Empowerment.

Get musical and sociable at the Sunshine Coast Music Festival
Mon. Jul. 20/15
Long-running fest has a friendly, folksy vibe
REBECCA BOLLWITT
"Pretty much every continent is represented," says Dan Minard as he picks up a piece of Tasmanian blackwood and placed it next to some Vancouver Island Sitka spruce in his Powell River workshop. "There's Colorado Engelmann Spruce, Canadian Maple, Swiss spruce, and some from all over the States, Africa, South America."
What's better than a handcrafted guitar?
Photos by Rebecca Bollwitt
The selection of wood for Minard's guitar-making are as eclectic and diverse as the acts that have come through the Sunshine Coast Music Festival over its 34 years. Each is unique and all sound amazing to festival-goers' ears.
The 34th Annual Sunshine Music Festival is set to take place during Labour Day Weekend Sept. 5-6, 2015, at beautiful Palm Beach in Powell River.
The event is a celebration of music from across Canada and the world. Artists this year include JUNO Award winners Big Little Lions, along with Steph Cameron, Jeremy Fisher, Blackberry Wood, Scott Cook and the Second Chances, WiL, Joël Fafard, The John Welsh Band, Zimbamoto, Sam Hurrie, Laura & Allen Wallace, Walter Martella and Michael Bernard Fitzgerald.
Minard is a longtime volunteer and performer at the Sunshine Coast Music Festival who took up guitar building as a hobby years ago but has made it a full-time passion since recently retiring as an aircraft maintenance engineer. "I've wanted to build guitars and instruments since I was a kid. I was never a great guitar player but I loved to sing and play along."
He's been attending the festival for the past 30 years, since moving his family to Powell River from Vancouver. This year he'll be a volunteer, offering his expertise for stage and technical setup as well as hosting a guitar tune-up station for the musicians.
"It's nice to be involved, more involved in the festival than just being a spectator; you get more out of it I think. Less music but more of the personalities."
For Minard, the festival is about new acts, revisiting old friends, and reconnecting with neighbours. "It's as much a social thing for me as a musical thing. Though this is a small area, none of us like to drive here so we see each other at festivals."
Gorgeous guitars.
Dan's made 35 guitars so far in his time as a luthier, although he modestly points out that others who "do it for a real living" would have over 200 under their belt at this point. Pointing to a pair of guitars on stands in the workshop, he notes that one of them took 250 hours to complete, because of its intricate design work and detail. "I'm quite pleased with it and it sounds incredible; it's probably my best sounding guitar." It has gorgeous, glistening turquois details and small quotation marks carved into the side.
In another corner of the room, Minard hopes to bring life back into a worn 1965 Yamaha. "It's really satisfying to take a guitar that's unplayable and turn it back into something again. You hand it back to a person and they play it and say 'wow! I can play this now!' It's just really satisfying work."
Minard plays his recent creation.
Just as music festival comes together with layers of components, from artists and food vendors to the craft market and musicians, a guitar build comes together similarly. Only in Minard's case, it's with bridges, bodies, soundboards, saddles, steel strings, and frets.
"You put together a complete plan and gather up all the pieces." The results can be exquisite, and a lot of fun."

Report aims to make Canada global leader of overseas practices
According to a report, Canada could become a global leader of good overseas practices if it follows the recommendations of the Corporate Social Responsibility Advisory Group.
"There have been growing concerns about the environmental, social and human rights impact of Canadian extractive companies operating in the developing world. The Advisory Group has worked together to develop an effective framework for addressing these issues, achieving an important consensus from industry and civil society representatives," says Gerry Barr, President and CEO of the Canadian Council for International Cooperation. "We now urge the government to act upon our recommendations."
The report is based on a ten-month government investigation that included representatives from civil society organizations, industry, academia, labor, and socially responsible investors acting as an Advisory Group, as well as representatives from communities affected by Canadian mining, oil and gas operations in the developing world.

My friend and fellow food blogger Erika Kerekes recently launched a line of amazing tangy gourmet sauces called Not Ketchup. They're made with fruit – like cherries, blueberries and dates – instead of tomatoes as well savory spices and cider vinegar to give it a tart kick. One taste and I was hooked. I've tried it on burgers and sandwiches and couldn't wait to experiment with it in the kitchen.
My favorite flavor is cherry chipotle and thought it would pair well with the exotic Asian spices found in 5-spice powder (star anise, cloves, cinnamon, szechuan peppercorn and fennel). The blend turned out to be a delicious and easy marinade for beef skewers. The smokiness of the chipotle mixed with the tangy cherries and complex Asian spices was incredibly yummy. My whole family loved it and I can't wait to make it again! Click here to order Not Ketchup or find out where to buy it if you live in Los Angeles or Orange County.
Combine the cherry chipotle sauce and 5-spice powder in a small bowl until well blended.
Place slices in a 1 gallon resealable plastic bag. Pour the sauce mixture over slices, and mix well. Refrigerate 2 hours, or overnight.
Prepare a grill for high heat cooking. Brush the grill grate with oil. Grill the skewers, turning once, until the beef is browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Serve with a side of Not Ketchup Cherry Chipotle sauce.

Under orders, in late January 1863, Confederate Major General Joseph Wheeler, commanding two brigades of cavalry, had taken position on the Cumberland River at Palmyra to disrupt Union shipping. The Federals, however, apprised of Wheeler's intent, refrained from sending any boats up or downriver.
Unable to disrupt Union shipping and realizing that he and his men could not remain in the area indefinitely, Wheeler decided to attack the garrison at Dover, Tennessee, which informers reported was small and could easily be overwhelmed. The Rebels set out for Dover and between 1:00 and 2:00 pm, on February 3, began an attack.
The 800-man garrison, under the command of Col. A.C. Harding, was in and about the town of Dover where they had chosen camps that commanded the area and had dug rifle pits and battery emplacements. The Confederates mounted a determined attack using artillery fire with great skill, but were repulsed with heavy losses. By dusk, both sides were mostly without ammunition.
The Confederates surveyed the Union defenses and decided that the enemy was too well-placed to allow capture. Wheeler's force retired. The Federals did send out a pursuit but to no avail. The Confederates had failed to disrupt shipping on the Cumberland River and capture the garrison at Dover.
This Confederate failure left the Union in control in Middle Tennessee and a bitter Brig. General Nathan Bedford Forrest denounced Wheeler, a favorite of General Braxton Bragg, saying he would not again serve under him.
By mid 1862, Union gains in the Mississippi Valley and in Tennessee and Kentucky had brought the Confederacy to a point of strategic crisis. This valuable addition to the growing literature on the Civil War in the West tells how the Union then failed to press home its advantage while the Confederacy failed to force Kentucky into the Confederacy. The climax of these events was the little-known Battle of Perryville, in which a greatly inferior Southern force under Braxton Bragg managed a draw against Don Carlos Buell's Union army but also effectively terminated the Confederate invasion of Kentucky. McDonough has researched thoroughly and written clearly, making this book informative and accessible to a wide range of Civil War students.
Cozzens follows up his magisterial account of the Battle of Chickamauga, This Terrible Sound (1992), with an equally authoritative study of the Chattanooga campaign that followed it. Braxton Bragg (who sometimes seems unfit to have been at large on the public streets, let alone commanding armies) failed to either destroy or starve out the Union Army of the Cumberland. In due course, superior Northern resources and strategy--not tactics; few generals on either side come out looking like good tacticians--progressively loosened the Confederate cordon around the city. Finally, the Union drove off Bragg's army entirely in the famous Battle of Missionary Ridge, which was a much more complex affair than previous, heroic accounts make it. Like its predecessor on Chickamauga, this is such a good book on Chattanooga that it's hard to believe any Civil War collection will need another book on the subject for at least a generation.

Die Renault Dauphine ist ein von 1956 bis 1968 gebautes Pkw-Modell des französischen Herstellers Renault. Das Fahrzeug mit wassergekühltem Vierzylinder-Reihenmotor und Heckantrieb (also Heckmotor und Hinterradantrieb) hatte eine typische Pontonkarosserie. Wie schon der Vorläufer 4CV war die Dauphine nur als viertürige Limousine erhältlich.

Der Name Dauphine bedeutet "Thronfolgerin" und zielte damit auf die Verkaufserfolge des Renault 4CV in Europa ab. Die Dauphine erfreute sich großer Beliebtheit vor allem auch in Deutschland, wo jedoch die beiden Zweitürer VW Käfer und (ab 1962) Opel Kadett auf den vordersten Rängen blieben.

Konzept
Renault wollte mit möglichst vielen Teilen des Modells 4 CV einen größeren Wagen schaffen, um den Abstand im Modellprogramm zwischen 4 CV und Frégate etwas zu verringern. Folglich waren die Räder wieder vorn an doppelten Dreieckslenkern und hinten an einer Pendelachse aufgehängt. Das Fahrzeug sollte eine Höchstgeschwindigkeit von etwa 115 bis 120 km/h erreichen und 6 bis 7 Liter Benzin auf 100 Kilometer verbrauchen. Tatsächlich lag der Reiseverbrauch bei 7,5 l/100 km, womit die Dauphine im internationalen Vergleich einer der sparsamsten Wagen seiner Klasse war. Die ersten Versuchswagen hatten noch den 4-CV-Motor mit 747 cm³, waren aber schon leistungsgesteigert. Dann wurde der Hubraum auf 845 cm³ vergrößert. Neu war auch ein automatischer Choke, den aber der 4 CV ebenfalls bekam. Eine Besonderheit war die Unterbringung des Reserverads, es lag unter dem Kofferraum und konnte nach Öffnen einer Klappe unter der vorderen Stoßstange aus seinem Fach herausgeholt werden. Gegen Aufpreis gab es ein Schiebedach und die vom 4 CV bekannte automatische Ferlec-Kupplung. Ab 1963 war  eine Ausführung mit elektromagnetischer Jaeger-Kupplung und Schaltautomatik verfügbar. Die Dauphine wurde im Renault-Werk Flins produziert.

Dauphine Gordini
Ab 1958 wurde das Modell Dauphine Gordini gebaut, das eine von 26,5 auf 33, später 36 PS erhöhte Leistung aufwies und eine Höchstgeschwindigkeit von 126 km/h anstatt 114 km/h mit der gewöhnlichen Motorisierung erreichte. Ab Sommer 1965 wurde nur noch die Gordini-Ausführung gebaut.

Dauphine 1093
Für den Automobilsport wurde 1959 noch ein R1093 oder Rallye-Dauphine genanntes Modell entwickelt, das an verschiedenen Autorennen, wie beispielsweise der Rallye Monte Carlo, teilnahm. Die Motorleistung dieses Modells wurde auf 49 PS gesteigert, die Bremstrommeln waren mit Kühlrippen versehen und ein 5-Gang-Getriebe wurde eingebaut. Die 1093 erreichte 140 km/h.

Ondine
Eine Luxusversion wurde von 1960 bis 1962 als Ondine (zu deutsch "Nixe") verkauft.

Aérostable
Im Sommer 1958 bekam die Dauphine eine besondere Federung, die sich Aérostable nannte. Sie hatte sehr weiche Stahlfedern mit einer Nachgiebigkeit von 72 mm vorne und 41 mm hinten pro 100 kg Belastung. Damit die Federung trotzdem nicht durchschlug, gab es eine Hilfsfederung. Sie bestand vorn aus Gummifedern und hinten aus luftgefüllten Gummikissen mit atmosphärischem Druck. Als die Dauphine im Sommer 1963 die Hinterachse des Nachfolgers R 8 bekam, entfiel die Aérostable wieder. Mit dieser Hinterachse erhielt die Dauphine auch vier Scheibenbremsen, was für einen Wagen dieser Klasse ungewöhnlich war.

US-Export

Mit der Dauphine versuchte Renault den US-Markt zu erobern, was aber misslang. Im Gegensatz zu Volkswagen wählte man die Händler nicht sorgfältig aus und baute keine funktionierende Ersatzteilversorgung auf. Das hatte sogar zur Folge, dass Neuwagen als Ersatzteilreservoir missbraucht wurden und die Händler ihre Vorgaben nicht einhalten konnten. 1959 wurde mit über 100.000 Verkäufen der Höhepunkt erreicht, dann ging die Zahl stark zurück. Die Importe passte man daran zu spät an. Dabei wurden die Fahrzeuge nahe dem Hafen gelagert und es kam zu Standschäden, insbesondere Korrosionsschäden durch das nahe Meerwasser. Schließlich konnte man die Fahrzeuge nur mit erheblichen Preisnachlässen verkaufen.

Im selben Jahr orderte Henney Motor Company 100 Dauphines ohne Antriebseinheit, um sie mit einem Elektroantrieb auszurüsten und als Henney Kilowatt zu verkaufen.

Alfa Romeo Dauphine
Alfa Romeo baute die Dauphine von 1960 bis 1966 im Werk Portello bei Mailand in Lizenz. Man hatte noch keinen Kleinwagen im Angebot und wollte so zu einem Vollprogramm kommen. Dies geschah vor allem im Hinblick auf den wichtigsten Konkurrenten Fiat. Die Dauphine aus italienischer Produktion hatten einige einheimische Teile und vor allem keine Aérostable-Federung, weil sie zu sehr auf Komfort ausgelegt war und deswegen nicht zu den anderen Alfa-Modellen passte. Deswegen lehnte Alfa Romeo auch das Angebot von Renault ab, den R 4 ebenfalls in Lizenz zu produzieren.

The psalmist doesn't just move on after his rescue—he offers a thank offering. He goes public with it by giving something and saying something. He enters the temple, the center of both religious and social life for the Israelites, and publicly states his appreciation. It isn't a humblebrag, but genuine appreciation. His closest friends and family would've been there. They all knew the situation, and now he is letting them know how God was with him.
As Senior Pastor Jeff Manion tells us in the video clip below, there are times when we need to go public with our praise. Opportunities are all around us to go public with our thanks to God. Whether it is the birth of a child, finally moving out of our parent's house the second time or finishing chemo, there are opportunities to give thanks publicly. These don't have to be elaborate ceremonies. We can simply take a moment when our friends or family are gathered to acknowledge what God has done. It is taking the time to "raise a glass" to God and recognize his provision.
Consider what you need to publicly thank God for the next time you get a chance. What's something you can thank him for the next time you are with your small group or your family gets together? How else can you go public—not with a humblebrag, but genuine thanksgiving? Consider using something like a Facebook post or an Instagram story to thank God publicly for getting you through a mess.

Rusty memories rejuvenated in elderly mice
Health 1 July 2012
By Andy Coghlan
Forgetfulness that accompanies the march of time may be reversible – in mice at least. Elderly mice have had their faltering memories restored after receiving extra amounts of an enzyme that switches genes on or off in the brain.
"We found they performed just like young animals," says Hilmar Bading of the University of Heidelberg in Germany.
He and his colleagues injected a virus directly into the brain's hippocampus – an area responsible for memory. The virus contained extra copies of a gene that makes an enzyme called DNA methyltransferase (Dnmt3a2). This enzyme alters gene activity through methylation, the addition of chemical methyl groups to DNA.
The team then gave the mice a series of memory tasks. They were presented with a pair of objects, then a day later they were presented with the same set-up but with one object moved to a new position. Because young mice remember the original positions of the objects, they spent more time investigating the one that had been moved. Elderly mice generally spent the same amount of time on each.
When elderly mice were given the virus, they matched the young mice in the task, spending 70 per cent of their time investigating the moved object.
When the researchers used similar techniques to halve the amount of Dnmt3a2 that young mice produce, their performance deteriorated to that of non-treated elderly mice. "Clearly, if you have too little of the enzyme, your memory works less well," says Bading.
As yet, there is no drug that could boost levels of Dnmt3a2 in the human brain, but Bading says that more of it gets made naturally when the brain is active.
So while his team intend to investigate possible memory-enhancing treatments, his advice to people as they age is to keep their brains and bodies as active as possible.

Halliday's Sevco Plea Will Fall On Deaf Ears In A Dressing Room That Wants Gerrard Gone.
It's always nice when a true loyalist goes to bat for the man at the top of the house, and Sevco manager Steven Gerrard must have been delighted to get the nod of approval from his player, and uber-Sevconite Andy Halliday.
Yet I wonder how much good it will have done either of them.
Halliday sent a warning to his team-mates yesterday that if they don't get a grip the manager will be sacked. I wonder how many of them thought, "Very good."
When you've lost the dressing room and there's no going back – and the way Gerrard talks about his players in public you have to think there is very little chance of everyone being friends – the manager already has one foot in the grave.
Halliday is not going to dig him out with this kind of mealy mouthed sentiment.
What he will do is give those who are vehemently opposed to seeing Gerrard continue some ideas.
A lot of people think the Sevco boss will see out this season and then go in the summer; haven't they been listening to him? He has no intention of walking, and he's made that clear. If he backtracks on that now he's adding "quitter" to "loser" as the terms that will stalk his career wherever else he goes. Some might think those are better than being sacked … in fact, they are worse as every manager in the game will be dismissed from his job at some point.
Sevco is in freefall. Do you really think a guy like Tavernier, who is a third rate footballer driving around in a Lamborghini due to the largesse of that club, cares about the "we are Rangers" attitude of someone like Halliday?
Tavernier is the club captain who basically called the whole team weak in the post-match program.
He and others have chucked it.
Gerrard is a busted flush, unless he's able to see out the season and then rebuild the team in the summer.
But would you trust this guy with more money?
The Sevco dressing room has already lost faith in him. It's a matter of time before the board do too.
And he won't resign … and they won't sack him, because they can't. Halliday's words will fall on deaf ears because half the dressing room doesn't care and the other half knows its impossible.
What a state that club has gotten itself into.

INVESTIGATION: How Abuja NGO, AEPB, arrest innocent women, label them prostitutes
February 10, 2014 Ibanga Isine and Moses Akurega
Grace Adogo, Director of SAP-CLN
AEPB and an NGO are trying to rid Abuja of prostitutes. But innocent women are bearing the brunt as they are arbitrarily arrested and stigmatised.
An Abuja-based NGO, Society Against Prostitution and Child Labour in Nigeria (SAP-CLN), in collaboration with Abuja Environmental Protection Board (AEPB) have elected to embark on a controversial campaign to rid Nigeria's capital city of prostitutes. But it seems the campaign is being waged on the wrong side of the law following allegations of abuses and highhandedness, which grossly violate the provisions of Nigeria's Constitution.
Party Turned Sour
When the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) posted Bimbo Ojo to Abuja, it was a dream come true. But not long after she arrived, she found that the city offered more than the bargain. While thousands of prospective corps members force their way to be posted to the "bling" city, hers came on a platter.
Abuja has an extraordinary allure especially for young Nigerians. Driven by radical ideas like those of former FCT Minister, Nasir El-Rufai, who in his controversial book, "Accidental Public Servant," posited that "rural development is an oxymoron," because "ultimately, everyone in the world will live in cities… we should all work … to get everyone to move to cities," young people tend to have lost patience for the tortoise speed at which development has been trickling to the countryside. The result has been an unprecedented rural-urban drift. So Ms. Ojo and other young Nigerians believe that Abuja is pregnant with limitless opportunities to transform their lives.
However, majority of young people who came to Abuja hoping to get a better life have found themselves clutching the ebbing shadows of their once beautiful dreams. Nigeria's capital territory does not seem to have room for the struggling people, artisans and even the low-level white and blue-collar workers. After all, succeeding ministers of the capital city have not only said so but have also proved that beyond every reasonable doubt.
But Ms. Ojo and some of her friends were yet to experience the other side of the beautiful city until one fateful evening. Apparently trying to explore the luscious nightlife of Abuja, she had set out for a party with her friends. Indeed, they had plenty of fun while the party lasted but towards midnight, they decided to go home.
Just as they walked out of the club towards the road to board a taxi, two buses pulled up. Like a scene from a Hollywood movie, she said, armed soldiers and policemen jumped out, cocked their riffles, took them violently and threw them into the waiting buses.
"It was so sudden that I couldn't believe what happened was real," she said. "The armed security officials shoved us violently into the buses and the driver moved in a neck-break speed to an unknown destination. Nobody told us what we did wrong and we couldn't ask for fear of being shot."
They were not the only occupants of the bus. Ms. Ojo said more than a dozen other girls had been hurled into the vehicle before she and her friends were seized.
The armed soldiers and police officers were not patrolling Abuja streets in search of armed robbers, who shot their way into neighbourhoods, kill and dispose law-abiding citizens of their properties. They were not looking for members of the dreaded Boko Haram sect, who have declared war against every strand of civilization. They were hunting for commercial sex workers, popularly known as "ashawo," and the war has been total.
The AEPB Connection
The security operatives and touts who run amok in Abuja streets profiling citizens as prostitutes are said to be doing the bidding of the Society Against Prostitution and Child Labour in Nigeria, SAP-CLN.
Since the law does not permit an NGO to carry out such audacious campaign, its patrons enlisted the support of the fiery Abuja Environmental Protection Board (AEPB), and the police and got funding from countries that have largely lifted their citizens from abject poverty.
With the muscle of AEPB and dollars from donors, SAP-CLN set out to wage an unrelenting war against prostitutes in Nigeria's centre of unity.
Several people have commended the NGO and its backers for electing to sanitise the capital city. Prostitution is illegal under AEPB law and offenders risk fines and jail terms. Unfortunately, the same law failed to clearly define who a prostitute is and how they can be identified. The operators have therefore, relied on gut feeling to arrest, detain and prosecute alleged offenders.
But the experiences of people like Ms. Ojo and hundreds of others have seriously called to question the propriety of the campaign with regards to the provisions of the 1999 Constitution.
And that is why Ms. Ojo and many others are angry. Indeed, they are so angry for the humiliation, pain and anguish of being falsely labeled, paraded and treated as prostitutes.
"Not only have I lost many job opportunities in Abuja after being charged to court on allegations of being a commercial sex worker but I have also been cursed by my immediate family. I don't think I will ever overcome the stigma of this false and malicious accusation. My biggest headache is to clear my name because nobody who is aware of the allegation would want to marry me," a distraught Ms. Ojo said.
At the premises of the Federal High Court in Abuja, where she had gone to seek redress, Ms. Ojo told PREMIUM TIMES that she had relocated to Lagos to stave off the negative publicity generated by her arrest and prosecution by the NGO.
Recounting her ordeal, she said, "We were driven like criminals to the Area 10 Sports Complex where they accused us and many other ladies who were already detained of being commercial sex workers."
Struggling hard to control her emotion, she continued, "They then asked us to pay N5, 000 each to secure our freedom. Those who had the money paid and were released instantly. Others who had relatives called them to come and buy their freedom. Being a mere youth-corps member, I had no money and no one to call. I was charged to a mobile court the next morning where the magistrate discharged and acquitted me of any wrongdoing. But the humiliation, disgrace, and stigma of the ordeal are indelible. Indeed, they will torture me for the rest of my life," she said.
SAP-CLN has many cases hanging on its neck including the N420 million suit against it by the angry youth corps member.
Ms. Ojo is probably one out of several other women who have braced the odds to take it out on their accusers. Majority of victims lick their wounds secretly and would not add salt to injury by exposing their shame to others.
With Ms. Ojo's resolve to seek justice in the court, other women have started speaking up. For instance, Dorothy Njemanze, an actress and human rights activist, confirmed she narrowly escaped being arrested and humiliated by the controversial NGO.
Milliam Olufu said she was dragged from her SUV and beaten up on the allegation that she was a commercial sex worker. A lady who gave her name simply as Hanatu said security operatives attached to the NGO shot her on the leg for standing up to challenge the attempt to arrest her illegally. A house wife, who gave her name simply as Mrs. Osagie was not spared when the raiders met her coming out of a popular pharmacy in the Wuse 2 District of the nation's capital, where she had gone to buy medicine for her sick child.
Ms. Njemanze, who has during the past two years been fighting against gender-based violence, said she has taken it upon herself to fight the illegal activities of the NGO.
Narrating her ordeal, Ms. Njemanze said her experience with the dreaded NGO made her realise just how bad women were being treated in the country. On the night she had a brush with the group, she said neither her identity card nor the many ATM cards she showed to her accusers made any sense.
While the atrocities against 'innocent' women continue, Abuja streets are flooded with prostitutes. this picture was taken on Friday, 6 February 2014.
She said, "With them, no ID card count and when I tried to call someone who could identify me, one of the operatives boasted that they too have a 'big shot' in the National Assembly and pulled out his phone and made some calls while another one said 'let us call madam' and he did."
However, luck smiled on her when the crowd of young men who had gathered while the drama unfolded, resisted every attempt by the NGO to take her away. But the raiders didn't leave until they dented her Honda Accord car.
Some residents of the capital city, who spoke with PREMIUM TIMES, expressed concern over the activities of SAP-CLN, saying the NGO's operations violated the rights of women as guaranteed under Sections 34, 35, 41 and 42 of the 1999 Constitution.
Through her NGO, Dorothy Njemanze Foundation, Ms. Njemanze has declared war on SAP-CLN. Already, the foundation has called on the Federal Government to stop SAP-CLN from violating the rights of women in Abuja. The group said many female students, female employees of telecommunications firms, shoppers and even married women have been brutalised and abducted on the grounds that they were engaged in prostitution and taken to SAP-CLN detention facilities, including the Area 10 Sports Complex.
Ms. Njemanze insists that some of the victims are forced by SAP-CLN and its collaborators to buy their freedom. However, she explained that some of those who could not pay are tortured before being taken to a mobile court where they are charged and sent to a rehabilitation camp for sex workers located in Sabon Lugbe off Umar Musa Yar'Adua Way.
Abuja anti-Prostitution Law
While criticisms of SAP-CLN have come in torrents, PREMIUM TIMES investigation shows that commercial sex practice is not permitted anywhere in the FCT. Section 35 (1) of the Abuja Environmental Protection Board, AEPB, Act of 1997, prohibits people from selling and or buying sexual intercourse.
Under the law, it is not only the female sex workers who are liable but also their patrons. But like the story of the biblical woman who was caught in the act of adultery, the patrons are always allowed to walk away free.
A legal practitioner, Abang Odok-Ogar of Armani Chambers, Abuja says SAP-CLN cannot hide under the AEPB Act to molest women whose fundamental right to dignity has been guaranteed under Section 34 of the 1999 Constitution. He said the AEPB Act contravened the provisions of the 1999 Constitution and is therefore, null and void to the extent to which it contravenes provisions of the grand norm.
Another legal practitioner, Aniefiok Iba, argued that every Nigerian is guaranteed freedom of movement under the law and no reasonable statute can detract from it. "There is no law that forbids people from going to parties or clubs in the night. People have the right to freedom of movement and association and nobody should hide under any guise to curtail those rights."
Mr. Iba insisted that a boyfriend and girlfriend, husband and wife and even relations and friends might chose to attend a night party, a club or any kind of social gathering without let or hindrance.
"Nobody has the right to arrest another person on the road because she has elected to attend a social function in the night," he said. "You cannot just pick somebody on the road and conclude she is a prostitute."
More Complaints
Many victims have complained about the conduct of the men engaged in SAP-CLN prostitute raids. One of the victims, who gave her name simply as Blessing, said she was arrested by a popular supermarket along Ademola Adetokunbo Crescent. "I was just coming out of the supermarket when I spotted some men chasing young women towards my direction. I didn't know why they chased the girls and so I walked to the road to pick a taxi home. Just then, the men caught up with me. Without provocation, they dragged me and in the process pulled my skirt up and shoved me into a bus that pulled up from nowhere," she recalled.
Blessing said some of the security operatives violated the girls, saying that a young man wearing the AEPB sexually harassed her.
She said, "One of the men touched my breasts, but some of the smaller girls were seriously violated. For instance, some of the guys who arrested us inserted their fingers into private parts of some of the girls under the guise of searching for hard drugs or something. It was so disgusting."
SAP-CLN officials, accused of humiliating women, pose for picture
Uche Durueke, National President of the Civil Liberties Organisation, CLO, said the operations of SAP-CLN run foul of the Constitution. Mr. Durueke said the judiciary, especially magistrates should be wary of the activities of an NGO that uses the court to legitimise illegality.
He said, "I have also heard that some of these people arrested by the NGO are sexually abused. Some of these girls that have been so violated cannot come out in public and speak out. I will support them to sue this NGO and their backers and by so doing, they will make some points clear to the public. Until that happens, the level of impunity in the country will not abate."
Mr. Durueke insisted that the mode of dressing does not make one a prostitute. "Finding a person outside in the night does not make the person a prostitute and even when a person is found in a brothel does not automatically translate that the person is a prostitute. Somebody can go to a brothel and have some drinks without having anything to do with a prostitute," he argued.
Attempts to get SAP-CLN to shed light on its controversial activities were unsuccessful as an interview scheduled for that purpose was cancelled at the last minute on the grounds that its coordinator, Grace Adogo, was indisposed. Other attempts including visits to the corporate head office of the NGO, mailing of interview questions to the coordinator and several reminders yielded no result.
Responding to an inquiry by our correspondent, the Public Relations Officer, PRO, of AEPB, Sam Musa, said SAP-CLN operates under the Social Development Secretariat of the FCT.
"The Society Against Prostitution and Child Labour in Nigeria works under the Social Development Secretarial of FCT and AEPB collaborates with Social Development Secretarial to enforce the ban on prostitution," Mr. Musa said. "When arrests are made, the Society Against Prostitution takes care of the rehabilitation and training of the arrested prostitutes. It is an NGO."
Attempts by PREMIUM TIMES to speak with the FCT Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Altine Daniel, failed as she did not answer calls or respond to text messages from our reporter.
Meanwhile, many Nigerians who spoke on the issue advised the NGO to find more decent and legal approaches to their campaign. They also called on the Human Rights Commission and relevant agencies of government to investigate the cases of human rights abuses by the NGO and ensure that justice is done to the victims.
This investigation was done in collaboration with the GUARDPOST NEWSPAPER and the International Centre for Investigative Reporting, ICIR.
EDITOR'S NOTE: This post has been updated with the correct name of the NGO run by actress Dorothy Njemanze. It is known as the Dorothy Njemanze Foundation and not Nigerian Women Trust Fund as initially indicated. We apologise for the mix-up.

Bombing in diplomatic area of Kabul kills 80, wounds scores
Fox News Edge
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) - A massive explosion rocked a highly secure diplomatic area of Kabul on Wednesday morning, killing 80 people and wounding as many as 350, an attack that left a scene of mayhem and destruction and sent a huge plume of smoke over the Afghan capital.
The target of the attack — which officials said was a suicide car bombing — was not immediately known, but Ismail Kawasi, spokesman of the public health ministry, said most of the casualties were civilians, including women and children.
It was one of the worst attacks Kabul has seen since the drawdown of foreign forces at the end of 2014.
Associated Press images from the scene showed the German Embassy and several other embassies located in the area heavily damaged in the explosion. It wasn't known if any foreign diplomats were among the casualties but Germany and Pakistan said some of their embassy employees and staff were hurt in the explosion.
The explosion took place at the peak of Kabul's rush hour when roads are packed with worktime commuters. It went off close to a busy intersection in the Wazir Akbar Khan district, said Najib Danish, deputy spokesman for the Interior Ministry.
The neighborhood is considered Kabul's safest area, with foreign embassies protected by dozens of 10-foot-high blast walls and government offices, guarded by police and national security forces. The German Embassy, the Foreign Ministry and the Presidential Palace are all in the area, as are the British and the Canadian embassies. The Chinese, Turkish and Iranian embassies are also located there.
Local TV footage showed shocked residents soaked in blood stumbling about, then being ferried away to hospitals. Passers-by stopped and helped the wounded into their private cars, others congregated outside the nearby Italian-run Emergency Hospital.
No group immediately claimed responsibility for the blast. Both the Taliban and the Islamic State group have staged large-scale attacks in the Afghan capital in the past.
The Afghan Taliban later issued a statement denying any involvement in the bombing and condemning all attacks against civilians. Zabihullah Mujahid, spokesman for the Taliban, said Wednesday's explosion had "nothing to do with the Mujahedeen of Islamic Emirate," as the Taliban call themselves.
But even though the Taliban claim they are only waging war against the Kabul government and foreign forces in Afghanistan, most of the casualties of their attacks have been civilians.
A statement from the Ministry of Interior Affairs said it "condemns in the strongest terms the terrorist attack" that killed so many, including women and children. "These heinous acts go against the values of humanity as well values of peaceful Afghans," it added.
Afghan President Ashraf Ghani also condemned the attack, which came just days into the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. A statement from his office quoted Ghani as saying that "the terrorists, even in the holy month of Ramadan, the month of goodness, blessing and prayer, are not stopping the killing of our innocent people."
Germany's Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel said an unspecified number of German Embassy employees in Kabul were hurt in the blast and an Afghan security guard outside the building was killed. Gabriel said all embassy workers were safe and offered his condolences to the family of the slain guard.
Pakistan also denounced the "terrorist attack in Kabul" and its Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it "caused damage to the residences of some Pakistani diplomats and staff, living in the close vicinity, and inflicted minor injuries to some."
China's foreign ministry said its Kabul embassy in Kabul was partly damaged but that all embassy staff were "safe and sound" and that there had been no reports of injured Chinese citizens.
Germany has had troops in Afghanistan for 15 years, primarily concentrated in the north in and around Mazar-E-Sharif. They're currently one of the biggest contributors to the NATO-led Resolute Support mission with around 980 soldiers on the ground to support and train Afghan security forces.
Wednesday's explosion was so heavy that more than 50 vehicles were either destroyed or damaged at the site of the attack. "We don't know at this moment what was the target of the attack," said Danish.
Residents described a mushroom cloud over Kabul and windows were shattered in shops, restaurants and other buildings up to a kilometer (half mile) from the blast site.
"There are a large number of casualties, but I don't know how many people are killed or wounded," said an eyewitness, Gul Rahim.
Kawasi, the health official, said the wounded were admitted to different Kabul hospitals.
Shortly after the explosion, all roads in Wazir Akbar Khan were blocked off by Afghan security forces and helicopters were deployed over the neighborhood.
Last month, the Afghan Taliban announced the beginning of their spring offensive, promising to build their political base in the country while focusing military assaults on the international coalition and Afghan security forces.
U.S. and Afghan forces have been battling the Taliban insurgency for more than 15 years. The United States now has more than 8,000 troops in Afghanistan, training local forces and conducting counterterrorism operations. In the past year, they have largely concentrated on thwarting a surge of attacks by the Taliban, who have captured key districts, such as Helmand province, which U.S. and British troops had fought bitterly to return to the government.

Since 1776: The Amazing Tie Between Ancient Israel and America's Founding Fathers
EJO12_JEWISH_IDEAS_AM_v2_HD1080_5.543_272.264
America is known for being a strong supporter and ally of the nation of Israel. With President Donald Trump's recent decision to move the American embassy to Jerusalem, that friendship doesn't seem to be weakening any time soon.
However, many people don't realize that America's love for the Jewish people and their values started long before 1948 when Israel was established as a modern state.
The Tikvah Fund, an organization that seeks to highlight Jewish leaders in the United States, is on a mission to teach the world about the deep relationship between America's founding fathers and the Jewish ideas that helped shape the nation. The Tikvah Fund has created an online course that details the powerful Jewish ideas and people who inspired, supported, and prayed for the American founders.
"The Hebrew Bible lies at the center of the American imagination and it is one of the central inspirations for the founders," Rabbi Meir Soloveichik, who teaches the course, told CBN News.
Rabbi Soloveichik is a professor at Yeshiva University and leads Shearith Israel, the oldest Jewish congregation in America. He argues in the course that the American Revolutionists strongly identified with ancient Israel in their quest for God-given freedom.
"On July 4th, after the American Declaration of Independence was approved and Benjamin Franklin and John Adams and Thomas Jefferson form a committee to decide what the seal of the United States will actually be. The first suggestion that Benjamin Franklin makes once this committee gets going is the seal of the United States should be Moses and Pharaoh at the sea with the motto that 'Rebellion to Tyrants is Obedience to God.'" Soloveichik explained. "So, when Franklin is asked, 'what stories should emphasize or embody what we are trying to do here?' The first place his mind goes is Exodus."
However, the founding fathers weren't just inspired by Jewish scriptures. They were guided by powerful Jewish men and women.
One of those men was a Jew named Jonas Philips.
"Jonas Philips is a man I refer to as the most important American Jew you've never heard of," Soloveichik said.
Philips is one of the first "American success" stories. Brought to America as an indentured servant, Philips eventually bought his freedom and becomes one of the most prominent Jews in the new nation.
"He becomes an American patriot and he serves in the Revolution and then emerges from the war with great economic success," Soloveichik noted.
While Phillips had gained economic success, he lacked religious freedom. In his state of Pennsylvania, those who wanted to serve in the state legislature had to take an oath of faith, saying they believe in the truth of the New and Old Testaments. This was an oath Philips could not take as a Jew. So, in 1787, he wrote a letter to the Constitutional Convention asking that religious liberty for all Americans would be protected.
"Jonas Philips writes a letter to the convention, to its president. And that president of that convention, of course, is George Washington," Soloveichik explained. "And he writes to say that the Jews have fought and have been passionate patriots. They have fought in the revolution. In his words he says the Jews have fought and bled for liberty that they could not enjoy."
Washington and the rest of the convention got the message loud and clear.
"The Constitutional Convention, not necessarily because of his letter, concluded with a document that really for the first time bans religious tests for office," Soloveichik said.
In the lecture series, the rabbi also describes how Philips family earned the founding father's trust and even helped preserve their legacy.
Benjamin Rush attended his daughter's wedding, his grandson become a naval war hero who bought and preserved Monticello, Thomas Jefferson's estate, and his great-grandson served as governor of South Carolina.
"You see an extraordinary poetry to the story of the Philips family, the intertwining of the story of this Jewish family, and the story of the founders and the story of America," Soloviechik said.
While the founders borrowed many ideas from the Hebrew Bible and Jews like the Philips, one of the biggest connections between ancient Israel and America is the fact that both nations share a covenant with God himself.
"The Declaration of Independence in its own way is a covenant because it proclaims a great idea - 'all men are created equal.' But it also concludes with God being the glue that holds those who created this contract together," Soloveichik explained. "The Declaration becomes an intergeneration covenant for America so that America becomes the first generation since Biblical Israel to be founded with a covenant.
It is this covenant that Rabbi Soloveichik believes binds Jews and Christians together as Americans. He believes the many other lessons people will learn through the course will be bring understanding and unity.
"I hope that both Jews and Christians have a renewed sense of what we share as Americans when we understand the role the Bible played in America's founding," he said. "I want both Jews and Christians to come out of these lectures with a renewed sense of wonder at the miracle that is the American story."

Dear Enoch, Thank you very much for writing reality secrets e book and articles. I have read several books/articles on law of attraction, magick, Buddhism, Christian Science etc (what I called mind stuff) and I would certainly say that yours is the best out of all what I have read. More importantly I don't have to look for any other book because all what I was searching for is written in your articles. I have related my past thoughts to my life today and realized all you say is very correct. Your price is very, very reasonable. In fact the real value of the book is priceless. THANK YOU SO MUCH and GOD BLESS YOU!
First I must say you are truly gifted and enlightened for your words are exactly what I needed to hear. There's much more to this world then what we can observe. Truly remarkable how mind-blowing your wisdom can be, hoping your source is correct, I feel everything you speak of is indeed true. Our minds are powerful and elaborate, deep within our thoughts and our sub-conscienceless are something so unexplainable and mysterious, but you have done an incredible job with mankind's big debate!
I feel like I should say that God has blessed me tremendously through you and your writings. You write about information that's very significantly hard to find, and I'm at a place right now where it's God truth that's really setting me free from different issues I essentially didn't have to deal with but have anyways. I'm sure you would guess this already, but knowledge of these things helps me feel confident in what I'm doing to worship God and take care of myself. That's a gift I'm very grateful for. So, thank you.
Hi Enoch, I have been reading your website mindreality.com. I wanted to send you a message to let you know I have to be honest and give you credit where it is due...you have created a veritable treasure trove of information. I am no guru and have no desire to be but I have been a student of the metaphysical, spiritual and mind sciences for a long time and you have some really great information there. Very concise and extremely powerful...in fact more deep and powerful than I think many would realize and understand. Well done and I am very happy to keep reading... it's like Aladdin's cave in there!!! Sending good Intentions and Vibrations!!
I think your Mind Reality website is the very best and you should be louder & prouder about it. How the information is relayed is absolutely genius (not knowing if I'm addressing one person I'm thinking of Enoch Tan, or more likely a collective & multi- dimensional effort). I am always amazed how so many are so blind, or is it just that "there is none so blind as he that will not see." or is it being willing to turn a blind eye, because to face the magnitude of just how big and how much is at stake. That could unnerve a lesser warrior into a state of panic. I also consider myself to be a Soul Jah, a vibration, unlimited in my power and belief. This is due to your vast wealth of information and teachings that my experiences have headed to terminal speed as rapidly as they have. Wow what a ride huh? Wouldn't miss it for the world.
Dear Enoch, I've been reading your amazing writings at mindreality.com and the "spiritual mysteries revealed" eBook. You have a unique god given gift in "connecting the dots" and I have been inspired by your writings. I was born and raised a Christian. At around my mid to late teens I decided not to believe in God, religion or anything else; I became aloof. After reading your writings (still reading with amazement), you've made me a believer again. I feel that every person in the world should have this knowledge, especially now with all the negativity that is going on. I want to help spread God's message.
It's always exciting to stumble upon someone with the same mindset as yourself. The content, in pieces, is intriguing and entertaining. As a whole, I consider it so be invaluable information. It will sadly be dismissed by most people as some nonsensical, hair-brained scheme before the idea of giving it a chance is even entertained. I know from experience - I used to be one of them. Your ability to captivate is ridic'. I've always considered myself to be a more than exceptional writer, but I am truly humbled by your skills. I certainly notice a unique madness to your genius. Never quit writing. Ever.
