Lagos Assembly Speaker, Obasa, Accused Of Land-Grabbing In Ogun State
It was reported that one Goriola Oyenusi invaded the land of Rexman Global Ventures Limited with some personnel of the Nigeria Police Force, claiming to have bought the land on behalf of the Speaker.
Speaker of Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, has been mentioned in a land grabbing case.
According to the lawyer of Rexman Global Ventures Limited, Barrister Oludare Falana, the land had been in possession of the company since November 24, 1997, when its parent organisation Grace and Sampson Limited got it on a Deed of Sublease from Ogun State Property Investment Company (OPIC).
He said the land was fully owned by the company on March 25 by virtue of Deed of Assignment with OPIC.
FHowever, Falana said Goriola, who paraded himself as the speaker's personal assistant, is being backed by the Police to take over ownership of the land from the real owner.
He also stated that Goriola and the Police stormed the land twice and chased out all those working on it.
He said: "On the 9th of February 2018, when Goriola Oyenusi, who boasted to have purchased the parcel of land on your behalf, invaded our property in a Gestapo manner in the company of some unidentified persons in their numbers, chasing out workmen on site and in the process causing pandemonium.
"As if the incident of the 9th of February was not enough, on the 10th of February 2018, at about 10 am, another set of policemen in the company of Goriola and some other unknown persons, again invaded our client's property and chased all its workers out."
The lawyer further claimed that the Police arrested some people when they invaded the land, detaining them for seven days at the Zone 2 police command while adding that building of concrete fence had commenced, preventing anybody from coming into the land.
"My clients and his representatives no longer feel free to move into their property as some unidentified gunmen and fully-armed police officers have been kept permanently on the land," the lawyer said.
Falana urged Obasa to immediately call Goriola to order or they would not hesitate to institute a legal case against him.
When contacted, the Chief Press Secretary of the Speaker, Razak Musbau, absolved the Speaker of any involvement in the land issue.
"All the things they said are lies," the CPS said.
"The boss is not involved; the person is only using the name of the Speaker. The man in question works with us and we can't deny him. The best person to clear the air is Goriola himself and you would find out that the Rexman company is the one liable."
However, Goriola could not be reached to get his part of the story. Calls to his official number did not connect, and he failed to respond to a text message to the same number.

Bone Key usage
Author Topic: Bone Key usage (Read 10130 times)
mbombe
through google I found the use of the bone key (nice!). Won't say it here to not spoiler anyone. But how comes this is completely unmentioned in the game? I would have never found the access in that dungeon?! Same for the heart piece there...
Whats the thinking behind this?
Renkineko
Re: Bone Key usage
It's totally optional and it's on purpose nothing is told in the game, it is some kind of mystery : players said the bone key was useless, others found the reason of the bone key and didn't spoil anything, and it became a sort of legend out of the game about the purpose of the bone key. You will notice there is a reason for everything in the game, including the style of the rooms, so if someone is curious enough, he can find the entrance without help :p
I don't understand about the heart piece, there is only one special item (and again, optional) with the bone key, no heart piece.
Yes it is just an easter egg, and a reference to a famous game
But there is no piece of heart there.

Quote from: Christopho on June 04, 2015, 08:40:22 AM
In the Dungeon 8, yes there is: Right next to the boss room. I would have missed that...
Yes, but it is absolutely not related to the bone key and is foundable with the cape, and is visible in the walkthroughs (video and written) : http://www.zelda-solarus.com/zs/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/LVL8-1F.png
Quote from: Renkineko on June 08, 2015, 07:26:37 AM
Yes, but it is absolutely not related to the bone key and is foundable with the cape [...]
Okay, but then I would like to criticize something else: The game should give at least slight hints on this through the telepathic grandma. E.g. "Now that you have the cape, you should re-visit Doungeon XYZ", or after having the bone key "I feel there is something special in one of the later dungeons. Not every wall is as solid as you think"
There are a few more things in the second half of the game where I was expecting Grandma to give hints but she just stopped with the shop remark. E.g. Dungeon No 6 (Inferno) was something I would not have found without the Walkthrough as I was checking under each rock before completing dungeon 5 and even had already all three inferno stones. There was nothing pointing me at revisiting the area at all.
Yes I must have forgotten to add grandma's dialogs after dungeon 5
I'm not agree about the suggestion to take player by hand. As I said, this part of the game is more like an Easter Egg. I never heard of a game with an Easter Egg and a dialog saying "HEY, DID YOU SEE MY EASTER EGG WINK WINK ?" :p
If you were in an old game with percent completion, without the bone key bonus, you still would have 100% completion in the game if you get all the others things (rupees, upgrades, secret dungeon, etc). If you get the bone key bonus, like old games would have do, you'd get 105 or 110% completion. I think the game is really better like this, but it's just my opinion ^^
By the way, I should also translate the Billy Interview to help people who really want to get the bone key bonus, because the purpose of the Billy Interview is to help people to find the entrance of the secret room =]

Home Beverage News Almonds a key ingredient in healthy snacking
Almonds a key ingredient in healthy snacking
More almond-containing products were launched in Europe than in any other region in the world in 2016, as the trend toward healthier snacking has given the nuts a major boost.
almonds have become increasingly popular as a snack
Almonds tap into a range of current European food trends, such as clean label, gluten free and plant-based, making them a popular choice for food companies looking to provide natural, healthy, and energising products. California produces 83% of the world's almonds, and in 2017, 27% of those were destined for Europe. In 2016, 47% of all new products with almonds were launched in Europe and, for the second year running, almonds were used in more new European products than any other nut.
Over the last 15 years, almonds have become increasingly popular as a snack and as an ingredient in chocolate, bakery, bars, nut butters and beverages. "Through our marketing campaigns in Europe, almonds have moved from being perceived as just a baking ingredient to a healthy, nutritious and sustainable snack," said Dariela Roffe-Rackind, Director, Europe and Global Public Relations at The Almond Board of California.
Plant-based milk alternatives
Almonds have also been one of the most popular source ingredients for plant-based milk alternatives, a booming market. Plant-based milks from almonds outstripped those made from soy in 2017, accounting for 22% of new global product launches, according to Mintel.
"Nowhere is the versatility of almonds more prevalent than in the move towards dairy alternatives," said Roffe-Rackind. "…Between 2013 and 2017, the use of almonds as the base of a new drink product in Europe nearly doubled – and is likely to continue to rise."
Companies that use Californian almonds can also tap into a wide range of resources, including market and consumer insights and help with formulation challenges, she said. "They should know that we are a research-based organization. We produce credible, high-level research into almond nutrition, quality and food safety, responsible farming practices and agricultural innovation, consumer research – all this research is available to our industry, partners, and manufacturers."
Sustainable practices ensure long term supply
Sustainability is another key area for the Almond Board, which has had to contend with a major drought in California, one of the most severe on record.
Although almonds require a good deal of water, they are not the thirstiest crop in the region. The crop per tree has been shrinking year-on-year, but the Almond Board has invested in research to improve water use and has implemented water-saving strategies that have cut the amount of water needed to produce a kilogram of almonds by 33% over the past decade.
Roffe-Rackind says this benefits not only the almond industry, but improves California's sustainability as a whole.
"The fact that the majority of almond farms in California are fewer than 100 acres, and nearly 90% are family farms, many operated by third and fourth generation family growers, means that almond farmers recognise – and take very seriously – the need to carefully manage resources for current and future generations."

The Hindi film industry has only begun to grapple with its own #MeToo movement that launched into the spotlight in September 2018 with major allegations against high-profile directors and actors. As victims continued to come forward with an avalanche of disturbing accounts, the push for safer working environments gained momentum. This week, the newest allegations of sexual misconduct were made against one of Bollywood's most celebrated figures, director and producer Rajkumar Hirani.
On January 13, HuffPost India published an article detailing the accusations. His accuser, whose identity has not been disclosed publically, was an assistant on the film "Sanju," the director's latest box office success. In a complaint emailed on November 3, 2018 to the film's co-producer, Vidhu Vinod Chopra; Chopra's wife and a director at Vinod Chopra Films Pvt Ltd., Anupama Chopra; Chopra's sister, director Shelly Chopra and scriptwriter Abhijat Joshi, the woman stated that the alleged abuse took place during post-production of the film, beginning on April 9, 2018, and ending in September 2018.
I remember forming these words on my lips — "Sir. This is wrong… Because of this power structure. You being the absolute power and me being a mere assistant, a nobody — I will never be able to express myself to you.
My mind, body and heart were grossly violated that night and for the next six months.
Because if Hirani said I wasn't good, everybody would listen… My future would be in jeopardy.
I've met the complainant twice. Both times, I have offered my full support and recommended that she take the complaint to a legal body or a neutral party since we cannot be arbitrators or judges on this… We also offered to set up an ICC at VCF (which we have set up since then) even though a VCF ICC could not have taken up the case since she was an RHF (Rajkumar Hirani Films) employee at the time. These are two separate companies.
In addition to having her stay over for two nights, she said she offered the woman the number of a professional who she could speak about the trauma she endured. She also stated in the same email that she and her husband continue to extend their full support to the complainant.
Hirani showed HuffPost India written communications between him and his accuser during the period of time in question in an effort to discredit the accusations and prove no impropriety in the professional relationship. An email sent from Hirani to Vidhu Vinod Chopra on November 22, in which he said he would be willing to undergo an investigation into the allegations, was included in the materials.
Since then, Hirani's name has been removed from promotional content for the upcoming Shelly Chopra directorial "Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga," which was produced by Vinod Chopra Films and Rajkumar Hirani Films.
Since the article revealing the accusations against Hirani was published, there has been relatively little reaction from his colleagues and others in the film industry. Vinta Nanda, a voice in the #MeToo movement after publicly disclosing her own experience with sexual abuse at the hands of veteran actor Alok Nath, was among the first to comment via Twitter.
If you talk to me about Raju Hirani as a person, as a personality and how he is, I think he is a wonderful person and a thorough gentleman… So, for me, It's a shocker as it is for everybody else who has heard this news.
I am deeply distressed by this news. As someone who has known and respect Raju Sir for 15 years, I can only hope that a due official enquiry is conducted. He is one of the most decent human beings I have ever worked with, and I think it would be grossly unjust on my part to speak on this as I do not know the details.
One colleague standing by Hirani is "3 Idiots" actor Sharman Joshi, proclaiming that the director is a man of great virtue and that it must be "demeaning" for him to have to defend himself against the allegations. The actor also used the hashtag #IStandForRajuHirani to show his support and perhaps in an attempt to inspire others to do the same.
While the Hindi film industry has seen such allegations against prominent actors and directors in the past, Hirani is arguably the most successful and powerful. The industry's overall response to the accusations against Hirani going forward will be telling of how far Bollywood has truly progressed, and how much it is willing to sacrifice to ensure safer work conditions for all, in light of the #MeToo movement.

A GROUP of leading Scottish musicologists have written an open letter to a local authority expressing their "dismay" at plans to axe school music tuition in its schools.
It comes ahead of today's full council meeting at Midlothian Council which will discuss how to bridge a budget gap of more than £7.7 million.
The musicologists said they held "deep concerns" over Midlothian Council's controversial proposal to end musical instrument teaching in schools for pupils not studying for a qualification in the subject.
They said that while the council may face "hard choices" in balancing its budget, cutting the tuition would have "far reaching implications".
In all, there are 31 signatories to the letter, drawn from the Reid School of Music at the Edinburgh College of Art, the University of Glasgow, Napier University, the University of Aberdeen, and Queen Margaret University.
Their letter states: "We are writing to express our deep concern in response to reports that Midlothian Council intend to reduce drastically the provision of musical instrumental tuition for school children.
The plans have also been criticised by members of the public.
A petition against local authority's proposals, hosted on the 38 Degrees website, has attracted nearly 12,000 signatures to date.
Last week, classical music star Nicola Benedetti called for funding for instrumental lessons to be ring fenced at a national level in a bid to prevent them from being cut by local authorities.
Youngsters with their musical instruments are set to hold a flashmob and protest performance outside of the budget meeting as part of the campaign against the cuts.
Other councils across Scotland have recently opted to introduce or increase fees for instrumental lessons, which campaigners have warned is pricing pupils out of learning music.
A spokesman for Midlothian council said: "Councillors share the concerns about the detrimental impact this may have on our young people, as will other areas of proposed budget cuts in education and beyond.
He added that while the council has received many complaints, "only one organisation" has proposed a possible solution, citing Denbighshire Council in Wales, which runs its own "music co-operative".

New York Knicks: Mike Woodson hiring a massive step in the right direction
by Maxwell Ogden 2 years ago Follow @MaxwellOgden
Seven years after leading the New York Knicks to the winningest season since 2000, Mike Woodson is expected to join Tom Thibodeau's staff as an assistant coach.
The New York Knicks are beginning to look like the New York Knicks again. Led by team president Leon Rose, New York has committed to bringing back individuals who understand what it was that made Madison Square Garden such a special place.
That process continued on Thursday, July 30, when it was reported that New York would be reuniting with one of its most successful head coaches: Mike Woodson.
The Knicks made waves by hiring Tom Thibodeau as the new head coach. Thibodeau is a proven commodity as far as winning in the head coaching role is concerned, as well as an individual who spent close to a decade as an assistant at The Mecca.
Mike Woodson is set to return to the sidelines in New York.
According to Shams Charania of The Vertical, the Knicks are bringing back another familiar face by adding Woodson to the organization in, "Some capacity."
Former Knicks coach Mike Woodson is expected to join the Knicks organization in a capacity, sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium. Woodson led the Knicks to a 54-28 record in 2012-13, which marks their most recent playoff appearance and highest win total since 1996-97.
— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) July 30, 2020
For those who forget, Woodson was the head coach when the Knicks made the leap from fringe playoff team to legitimate contender.
Between 2008-09 and 2013-14, Woodson accumulated a record of 209-143 as head coach—a win percentage of .594. He led the Atlanta Hawks to three postseason appearances, including a 50-win season in 2009-10 and two playoff series victories.
Woodson took over as head coach of the Knicks in 2011-12, leading the orange and blue to an 18-6 record after starting the season at 18-24 under Mike D'Antoni.
Woodson built upon that success by leading New York to 54 wins and a playoff series victory in 2012-13.
New York went 37-45 the following season, and Woodson was relieved of his duties during the 2014 offseason. In the six years that have followed, the Knicks have failed to win more than 32 games, and have yet to make another postseason appearance.
Moreover, the 54 wins in 2012-13 were the most that the Knicks accumulated in a single season since 1996-97.
In short: Woodson is one of the few coaches in the NBA who know what it takes to win in New York. Although he won't be the head coach, he will be involved in the organization, which bodes well for the Knicks.
In addition to having an assistant coach who knows what it takes to win in New York, the head coach has similar knowledge—albeit reversed.
Thibodeau led the Chicago Bulls to five straight postseason appearances and the Minnesota Timberwolves to their only trip to the playoffs since 2004. Before he was making struggling franchises relevant again, he was a top assistant in the NBA.
That includes a three-year stint as the Associate Head Coach for the Boston Celtics, during which the team won a championship and made a second NBA Finals appearance.
Rewind further and one will recall that Thibodeau was one of the top assistant coaches for the Knicks between 1996 and 2004. He became Jeff Van Gundy's right-hand man, even joining him with the Houston Rockets after JVG's relationship with the Knicks unceremoniously ended.
During Thibodeau's time with the Knicks, the franchise made five postseason appearances and reached the 1999 NBA Finals.
There's no possible way to guarantee that New York will experience that same success under Thibodeau and Woodson, but there's reason for intrigue. Rather than hiring coaches who know the game, but have never experienced an animal quite like New York, Rose is bringing in those with first-hand knowledge.
Considering how unique of an experience it is to coach the Knicks, finding individuals with extensive experience may be the fix that the front office was looking for.
Both Thibodeau and Woodson are defensive-minded coaches, which fits a franchise that has never sustainably won without great defense. They've also been around when that mentality has specifically won games for the Knicks.
Rather than being individuals who hope their approach can work in New York, Thibodeau and Woodson have seen it in practice.

The long-awaited, more muscular version of the Audi TT.
The long-awaited, more muscular version of the Audi TT has bowed as the TTS, which features a turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder with direct injection that makes an astounding 272 bhp and 258 lb.-ft. of torque. This brawny powerplant propels the all-wheel-drive 2+2 sports coupe and two-seat roadster to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 5.2 seconds and has an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph.
While European versions will be offered with a choice of 6-speed manual or the optional automatic clutch S tronic gearbox, U.S. models will be equipped only with the twin-clutch S tronic gearbox only when it goes on sale here in November as a 2009 model.
The Audi TTS is the flagship of the TT model line and sports 18-in. wheels and a new headlamp cluster that incorporates bi-xenon projector beams with LED daytime running lights.
The car's suspension features many aluminum components to reduce unsprung weight, and the dampers employ adaptive magnetic technology to instantly adjust stiffness in response to road input. The driver can select between Normal and Sport modes, the latter lowering the ride height by nearly half an inch. Sales in Europe begin this summer with the coupe retailing for about $66,000 and the roadster for $70,000.
