Helicopter pilot killed on Tanzania anti-poaching mission

By Melissa Gray, CNN

(CNN)A British helicopter pilot was fatally shot by elephant poachers while flying an anti-poaching mission in Tanzania, a member of Parliament and a conservation fund said Saturday.

Roger Gower was working with Tanzanian wildlife authorities when the poachers fired on his helicopter and fatally wounded him Friday, said Dan Friedkin, chairman of the Texas-based non-profit Friedkin Conservation Fund.

"We are profoundly saddened by the loss of our dear friend," he said.

Gower managed to land the chopper but died before he was able to be rescued, said Lazaro Nyalandu, the country's former tourism minister, who said he flew with Gower many times.

Tanzania gets 'The Devil' as it cracks down on elephant poaching

Gower was helping rangers find the killers of an elephant when the poachers fired at the helicopter with an AK-47, Nyalandu wrote on Twitter.

Photos of the crash site, provided by Tanzania National Parks, show the helicopter on its side in dense grass, its tail broken off. A bloody bullet hole can be seen in one of the seats.

"Those poachers who killed Capt Roger are coward, evil, and sad people. A fine hearted individual gone too soon, and our hearts are broken," Nyalandu wrote.

Real Reasons Why Women Should Wear Waist Beads

Beads are usually small round pieces of pierced glass, wood or metal strung together to serve as adornment for the waist, neck or ankle beads.

Waist Beads are common with females and they are an excellent tool for women to feel more feminine and beautiful. These beautiful gemstone waist beads are hand made and customized. The tradition of wearing beads is an age long one, from time immemorial; it has been worn for varying reasons by the royalty, for body adornment, deification and decoration.

Overtime the culture of the use of beads has been associated with both spiritual and material reasons. In some parts of Africa, the beads are anointed in oils and the woman stands over a smoked pot and commences to ‘smoke her self’.

This practice aids in sensory pleasure for the man. Some beads are adorned with bells, which is a signal to let the man know that the woman wants to engage in sexual intercourse. It is also worn as a form of birth control, as a way of preventing obesity or also for their ‘healing’ and therapeutic powers.

It is belief that the waist beads possess some erotic appeal and have the power to incite desire or deep emotional response on men. Waist Beads are also used for birth control, the beads are laced with charms and worn by the women to prevent conception and were also around the waist of baby girls to perfectly shape her buttocks.

Gone are the days when beads have been thought to be worn by ‘UNSOPHISTICATED’, forward or slutty women alone, also different stories abound on the usage of waist beads by ladies and some men who believe they are infused or laced with charms or Juju or Juju will never touch a woman wearing beads with a 10 foot pole for the fear of falling under the supposed spell of such women.

For a while, waist beads almost went into extinction but now the re emergence of beads has added a new dimension into the craze among Ladies. While some men abhor it, some request their partners get them as it makes them more sensual and attractive.

Abul Bajandar, 25, from Khulna, in Bangladesh, has been suffering from a disease known as Epidermodysplasia verruciformis, where tree-lie roots grow from his hands

A Bangladeshi man dubbed as the tree-man because of wart-like lesions growing from his hands and feet has been admitted to hospital.

Abul Bajandar, 25, from Khulna, has been suffering from a disease known as Epidermodysplasia Verruciformis - a rare and inherited skin disorder - for the past seven years.

Doctors at the Dhaka Medical College and Hospital (DMCH) will now decide on his treatment after forming a medical board of experts.

Dr Samanta Lal Sen, chief coordinator of National Institute of Burn and Plastic Surgery of the DMCH, made the announcement today.

On duty doctors visited Mr Bajandar at the burn unit, where he had been admitted today.

Abul Bajandar, 25, from Khulna, in Bangladesh, has been suffering from a disease known as Epidermodysplasia verruciformis, where tree-lie roots grow from his hands

According to the dailystar.net, the ricksaw-van puller was previously taken to the Gazi Medical College Hospital in Khulna.

According to local reports, the original tree-man Dede Koswara, of Indonesia, died today. Tribunnnews.com reported that it wasn't the disease to cause his death.

In 2008 the Discovery Channel told the story Mr Koswara. In the programme, he returned home from hospital after having six kilo warts surgically removed from his body.

An American doctor had previously said the warts were the result of severe Human Pappiloma Virus (HPV) infection and doctors thought his type was the worst in the world.

The father-of-two first noticed the warts on his body after cutting his knee as a teenager.

On duty doctors from a burns unit are expected to visit Mr Bajandar, who is pictured lying on a hospital bed in Dhaka

He was later sacked from his job and shunned by neighbours when the branch-like growths covered much of his body and stopped him from working.

At the time it was reported that he would need at least two operations every year.

Previously, Mr Koswara was forced to take part in a circus act in Bandung in order to make ends meet.

But once his case was publicised donations from the public began to flood in for his treatment.

Ladies & Gents (Must Read)! 7 Things You Should Never Do After Making Love

Having s’ex (making love) is an action that has to do with before and after ACT. Your actions before and after means a lot to the opposite se’x and also is the basis of your future acts of se’xual intimacy.



People often take their partner for granted and behave in a boorish manner. It surely steals the charm of your relationship and also annoys your partner. Here are some things you must never do after making love.

7. Not cuddling

Some people just roll over and go to sleep after making love. It’s better to cuddle and show your love and affection to each other. Look into each other’s eyes and relax in your partner’s arms. This is a great moment to bond and have a romantic conversation about your love, dreams and life.

6. Turning on the TV

Listening to the problems of the free world or catching the latest score just after some great s*x may seem to be a very relaxing and luxurious idea but actually it is not. It shows your insensitivity towards the intimacy you just shared. If you have to watch TV, select something both of you can watch together.

5. Saying how good you were

You need not toot your own horn. You may feel that you were superhuman in bed today but saying that makes it cringe worthy. It is better to compliment your partner and if she/he feels you were good they will certainly say so.

4. Dressing to leave

You are done and you are moving on, certainly it means s*x was just another task on your mind. You may be getting late for work but a minutes togetherness when you look into your partners eyes and bond goes a long way in your relationship.

3. Checking your Mobile

Almost everyone does it. Checking your Mobile phone just after s*x makes your partner feel neglected. We know your time is valuable and you need to stay connected to the world, but the intimate moment with your partner is also a precious one, respect that.

2. Unhygienic Body movements

s*x is an act in which you share your whole privacy with your partner; still there are limits. Scratching or picking your nose or passing gas in not at all funny. One must maintain certain etiquette even in their closest moments together.

1. Rushing to the bathroom

Getting up and rushing to the bathroom just after making love is a terrible idea. Most people go to the bathroom to check their appearance, brush their teeth or take a shower. It is understandable that you want to be clean but sometimes just lying in the bed with your partner is much more intimate.

Why it matters what Barbie looks like

      (CNN)When did dolls become role models?

This question became the cynical undercurrent to news that Mattel unveiled new Barbie dolls in three new body shapes -- petite, tall and curvy -- and seven skin tones. The original Barbie is still for sale as well. While parents and fans of the iconic blonde bombshell cheered the toymaker for making dolls that look more like real people, others couldn't help rolling their eyes at what they saw as a last-ditch effort by Mattel to regain market share as Barbie loses ground to other dolls. 

Actress Kirstie Alley emerged as a voice from this camp, asking on Twitter if the celebrations "seriously" implied that "Barbie needs to be taken seriously." She stood her ground as people challenged her, reiterating the point that she does not "consider toys to be role models."

"I prefer humans," she said. "Apparently it is now politically incorrect to make wisecracks about dolls now in America... hmmm and I thought they were just toys."

She's definitely not alone. Various news outlets fired off hot takes questioning Barbie's influence with such headlines as "Barbie is Past Saving" and "Did You Really Feel the Need to Identify With Your Barbie?" Some argued that Mattel took too long to catch up to other doll makers that have already made inclusiveness a selling point, and Barbie's moment is over.

"Mattel is, literally, messing with the mold that made Barbie iconic in the first place. But that mold is more out of touch than ever. Most American girls never looked like Barbie, it's true, but it's also true that most American girls have never looked less like Barbie than they do right now," Jessica Goldstein wrote for Think Progress.

"The trouble with Barbie is that if you start taking away her unrealistic elements, she disappears altogether," Alexandra Petri wrote in the Washington Post.

"Barbie is either the iconic, unattainable figure, blonde and waiflike, with huge eyes, or she is — what, exactly? Make her real, and she ceases to exist. She becomes a brand, a category heading, like American Girl, Monster High, Bratz."

10 photos: Barbie debuts new body shapes

Among the critics, no one seems to be objecting to the idea of curvy Barbie, a petite Barbie or an Asian Barbie with distinct features from "original Barbie." It's more that, as VH1's Taylor Ferber put it, "I can't honestly say that the plastic toy I played with was something I ever wanted to look like in real life. Primarily because Barbies aren't real life."

All of that is well and good, except that decades of research show that children do absorb messages about body image and identity from toys and play, though studies also show that different kids identify in different ways and that countervailing influences can minimize the impact.

As recently as 2006, a British study found that "girls exposed to Barbie reported lower body esteem and greater desire for a thinner body shape" than those who had been given dolls reflecting larger body types or no dolls at all.

"What people forget is all toys are educational to children, and girls learn what it means to be a girl through the toys they have," said University of Kentucky psychology professor Christia Spears Brown, author of "Parenting Beyond Pink and Blue: How to Raise Kids Free of Gender."

"I don't think what Barbie looks like is a trivial issue," she said.

Mattel has made changes in recent years to address criticism of Barbie's unrealistic proportions and ethnocentric image. Mattel introduced Entrepreneur Barbie in 2014 and expanded the number of available skin tones, eye colors and hair styles available in June 2015.

Brown called the new line the "first legitimate change" by Mattel to make Barbie a more positive role model for children.

It's more than simply putting a lab coat on the same busty, cinch-waisted doll, or dipping her skinny body in a darker hue. Not only do they come in different shapes and colors, but they have distinct features -- eyes, hair, noses -- too.

"That's the message kids need to see, that people come in a range of sizes."

Now, if only the focus could shift away from her appearance, developmental psychologist Erica Weisgram said.

"One of the things that's always concerning about the Barbie brand in general is the focus on appearance," said Weisgram, who has examined the impact of gender labels and gender-typed toys on children's toy preferences..

There's nothing wrong with being attractive, feminine or girly, she said. But girls should know those aren't the only qualities to aspire to, Weisgram said.

"We shouldn't look to dolls as role models," she said, "but we know that when kids are playing, they are enacting social roles. They are playing out what they might want to do in the future."

Nduom Wishes CPP Well As It Elects Flag-Bearer

2012 presidential candidate of the Progressive People’s Party (PPP) Dr. Papa Kwesi Nduom, has extended his best wishes to the Convention People’s Party (CPP) as the party gets ready to elect a flag-bearer for the 2016 General Elections on Saturday, January 30, 2016.  Dr. Nduom cautioned the party to elect a candidate who would be more of a unifier than someone who will further weaken the CPP. “My hope is that they will elect somebody who will be more of a unifier, who would want to bring people more together, and not someone who by his or her election as a flag-bearer will cause the party to splinter some more,” he intimated. Though Dr. Nduom is not a member of the CPP, he said he did not want to see the party become weaker than it is now, because according to him, that would not help  its electoral fortunes. Four members of the party are aspiring to become CPP’s presidential candidatefor theNovember 7 presidential polls. Former General Secretary, Ivor Kobina Greenstreet, former Chairperson, Samia Yaba Nkrumah, twice defeated flag-bearer aspirant, Mr. Bright Akwetey, and a business executive, Joseph Agyapong, will know their fate at the end of voting tomorrow at the Accra International Trade Fair Centre, where over two thousand six hundred (2,600) party delegates are expected to elect a candidate. CPP has been dogged by internal squabbles which problem came to a head in 2012 when a splinter group emerged to form the Progressive People’s Party. Incidentally the 2008 CPP presidential candidate, Dr. Papa Kwesi Nduom, became the candidate for PPP during the last presidential polls in 2012. Early this month, the 2012 presidential candidate of CPP, Dr. Foster Abu Sakara, announced his resignation from the CPP and disclosed that he would be contesting the 2016 elections as an independent candidate. Dr. Nduom told a news conference in Accra that he wished the CPP would learn lesson from the problems that confronted it after the 2007 delegates’ Congress in Kumasi

We’re ready for war – Andani Family

The Andani Royal Family in Dabgon has declared it is ready to engage the Abudu Family in yet another war over the latter’s notice to forcibly enter the Gbewaa Palace to perform the funeral rites of their late Regent, Naa Abdulai Mahamadu IV.

The Abudu Family in a mammoth press conference on 11 January, 2016 in Yendi threatened government and the Asantehene-led committee with a two-week ultimatum to enforce processes that would grant them access to the Gbewaa Palace or they shall use other means to gain access to the palace.

“We are compelled under the circumstances to serve notice that if by Monday, January 25 2016 there is no renovation works going on at the Gbewaa Palace for the two funerals we shall advice ourselves. We intend to explore all means necessary to gain access to the Gbewaa Palace to perform Naa Mahamadu Abdulai’s funeral.”

With just a day to the deadline, the Andani side has issued it readiness to fight the Abudu family.

"We have come a long way from March 2002. This time the response of Andani Family would be swift, resolute and direct, and such a manner as to put permanent closure to the intransigent arrogance of these extremists of the Abudu Family not only in Yendi but throughout Dagbon," Galwei-Tamale Naa O. S Mahamadu spokesperson for the family said at a press conference over the weekend.

The Andani family stated that it would not allow the performance of the funeral rite of the late Abudulai Mahamadu IV in the Gbewaa palace because he was deskinned in May 1974 upon a recommendation of a Committee of Enquiry by the government of NRC which found that his ascension to the office of Yaa-Naa was "illegitimate and in flagrant violation of Dagbon traditions and custom."

288 days left to fix Ghana – Bawumia

New Patriotic Party vice presidential candidate Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has begun the countdown to election 2016, assuring Ghanaians that victory for the NPP will lead to the total transformation of the country.

He said the destiny of the  country is in the hands of the people, who will be heading to the polls on NovembCourt.

Visiting locals of Dagomba Line area, located around the main Aboabo drain in Kumasi of the Ashanti region after a fire outbreak, in the company of Nana Akufo-Addo, the former deputy governor of the Bank of Ghana said the time has come for Ghanaians to give the main opposition party another chance to fix the economy.

“We have [288] more days left for Ghanaians to witness the proper management of the National Health Insurance Scheme to be put, [288] days towards the restoration of teaching and nursing trainee allowances, and [288] more days for the prudent management of the nation's resources.” Dr. Bawumia noted.

 Dr. Bawumia urged the electorate “to vote for Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo. He's the leader who has your welfare at heart and has always put the Ghanaian people first.”

Nana Akufo-Addo, in his brief remarks to the gathering, also urged them to vote for him and the NPP, so that “Ghana’s fortunes can be turned around”.

Nana Addo would’ve rejected ex-Gitmo detainees – Akomea

Return ex-GITMO detainees – Nana Addo

The spokesperson for the New Patriotic Party flagbearer has revealed that Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo wants government to return the ex-Guantanamo Bay detainees.

According to Mustapha Hamid, the former Foreign Affairs Minister finds the entire process used by the Mahama-led administration to accept the suspected terrorists flawed.

“Nana Addo thinks the process is flawed...and was wrong for government to accept them,” Hamid said on Citi FM’s Big Issue Saturday.

The two ex-detainees who were held at Guantanamo Bay for over 14 years were transferred to Ghana as part of measures by the US government to close down that hardcore prison.

Majority of Ghanaians have slammed government’s decision to accept the ex-detainees without proper consultations.

The NPP has in a statement condemned the decision and has called on government to return the two Yemenis. But Criticisms were rife that the failure of Nana Addo to independently speak on the raging issue meant he quietly accepted government’s position.

But Hamid explained that Nana Addo’s position is not different from the party he leads. According to him, Nana Addo is seeking the mandate of Ghanaians and would not kowtow to the whims of US if he was president.

He added that Nana Addo completely rejects the decision and thinks the NDC government has failed the people of Ghana by accepting the terrorist suspects.

Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Akomea, says the party’s flagbearer, Nana Akufo-Addo, would have turned down a request by the United States government for Ghana to host two former detainees of Guantanamo Bay in the country if he were in power.

According to Akomea, former president Kufuor would also have done same in the same position.

“The government of Kufuor wouldn’t have taken these people in at all in the first place. Government of Nana Akufo-Addo would not have taken them in. His reason will be the same reason that Ghanaians have given. If America won’t, why do we want to take the things America doesn’t want. Are we a dumping ground?” he said on the Point Blank segment on Eyewitness News.

A decision by the Mahama-led government to host two supposed terrorists from America, has been widely criticized despite assurances by the US government that the two pose no risk to Ghana.

The NPP subsequently issued a statement to condemn the decision.

When the sit-in host of Eyewitness News, Umaru Sanda, probed further and questioned why Nana Addo has been silent on the matter, Nana Akomea  said the flagbearer is solidly behind the statement issued by the party.

He insisted that “do you think the NPP would issue a statement if the flagbearer disagrees with it? It’s not going to happen. How can the party issue a statement that he doesn’t agree with.? We will not issue a statement that he is against it. He may still speak but essentially what the party has said is what he stands by. The party has spoken,” he added.

List Of Prophercies Rev. Owusu Bempah Has Made This Year Concerning NPP, NDC, Ashanti Region And Ghana

1 year(s) ago |  Views : 33,828  |  OMG Staff

You know it wouldn’t be a good year if the prophets don’t get involved.

We saw similar prophecies from prophets, spiritual leaders and many more last year, 2014. Most of them didn’t come to pass but we know, it’s a new year and prophets have to eat too.
Yesterday, controversial prophet, Rev. Isaac Owusu Bempah released a list of prophecies to hit the nation.
1. Ghana should pray against 2016 elections to avoid war.
2. A great funeral in the Ashanti Region.
3. If NPP do not take care, they gonna get a great funeral which is gonna open a way for a new flagbearer election.
4. If NPP do not take care, they would once again loose 2016 election and will never come to power again because of one person whose heart is very hardened.
5. The spirit of death is still on the shoulders of the president and his vice but this time around, it’s closer to the vice than the head.
6. This year there would be shocking deaths on the parts of the leaders.
7. Fire outbreaks.
8. Plane crashes and Ghana would experience one.
9. Strange things are gonna happen.
10. Prosperity too would heed. This year we’ll laugh a bit and will frown a bit. (Proverb)
11. Suicide cases and accidents.
12. Something would descend from the skies into Ghana which would amaze us.
13. Jail sentences (celebrities more).
14. Evil diseases.
15. A Great man of GOD will encounter a problem which would end up with death.
16. Musicians would go to shrines to sing and end up with death. Some sell their souls to the devil because of fame.
*Castro….. Something strange would happen on the part of Castro which would determine whether he is alive or dead. If the strange thing doesn’t happen, that means someone has turned out something.
17. A famous person in the world of football would die.
18. A great person would die in Nigeria.
19. A fight/war against American
Do you believe this man of God? Let your comments flow.
