Bodybuilding stars hold seminar in Cyprus.....


This was the first time Cyprus has seen two world-renowned bodybuilders conduct a seminar of this kind and Antoniou said he wasn't sure what to expect.
CYPRUS - FAMAGUSTA GAZETTE
Thursday, 30 July, 2015
A health and fitness seminar which took place in Larnaca on Sunday is being hailed as a huge success by organizers.

Chris Antoniou, owner of Platinum Sports, says he is delighted with the seminar which saw biggest names in the bodybuilding industry in Cyprus.

Antoniou, who is passionate about fitness after many years as a personal trainer and gym owner, arranged for Simeon Panda and two times Musclemania SuperBody Pro Champion and two times Musclemania World Pro Champion, Ulisses Junior, to spend time talking to fitness enthusiasts from across the island at Larnaca's Theatre Scala.

Arranged in less than a week, the two men, who have more than five million followers on social media together, outlined their fitness lifestyle before taking questions for almost two hours.

This was the first time Cyprus has seen two world-renowned bodybuilders conduct a seminar of this kind and Antoniou said he wasn't sure what to expect.

He explained: "I have known Ulisses through his manager for some time and when I found out they were in Paphos I took the opportunity to put the seminar on.

"Bodybuilding and fitness in general is getting very big in Cyprus and I wanted to give enthusiasts living here the opportunity to meet these two guys, who have a massive fan base around the world and find out how they have achieved their fitness goals."

However, Chris was quick to point out that he would not have been able to do it without his sponsors, he said: "I want to thank NCIS Intelligence Security Services for being the main sponsor and of course Hell Energy Drink, K Fitness Maniac Supplements, Hobos Steak House, Preserve and Andreas S. Pasiourtides LLC."

And for enthusiasts that missed out this time, Antoniou offered some words of comfort: "This is hopefully just the start of many more of these seminars in Cyprus. I have made lots of contacts and I am confident I will be able to bring some more of the biggest names in bodybuilding to the island again."

You can now mark messages as unread

WhatsApp is finally letting users mark their messages as‘unread’.
All you need to do is tap and hold the conversation and the app will add a little green spot to show the message as ‘unread’. This makes it easier to work out who you have replied to and who you haven’t.
Unfortunately, the read message status inside the message will remain unaffected so there’s no pretending you haven’t read it yet.
The update will also allow you mute conversations for up to eight hours, a week or even a year.
The downside of this feature is its only available for Androidphones at the moment and has to be downloaded manually.
But this is still awesome news.

7 THINGS ALMOST EVERY WOMAN WANTS AFTER S*X...


A lot of the times men focus more on what to do and what not to do before s*x and during s*x, but very few men focus on what the women want after s*x.
S*x requires quite a lot of emotional and physical involvement for it to be above ordinary, and knowing what your partner wants (both physically and emotionally) before, during and after s*x is what would make it awesome.
Like people say ‘different strokes for different folks’, but a lot of women would really love the following after a nice time in the sheets:

1. CUDDLE
Most women love to cuddle with their man after s*x; it provides that emotional connection with their man, and makes them feel special and wanted. It somewhat passes a message that you enjoyed every bit of it and really do care as well. Whereas when you refuse to cuddle after s*x, you pass a message of being uncaring, selfish and only wanting them just for your s*xual pleasure.

2. FONDLING
While some women love to be left alone after s*x, most also love to fondled; this leaves them with all manner of sensation and leaves them geared up for the next round.

3. HOW GOOD THEY WERE
Women really love it when they are told ‘you good are in bed’; if not anything, it gives them that sense of fulfilment and could probably make them feel that you won’t be meeting another lady since they satisfy you. Telling them this would really be a boost to their ego.

4. A LITTLE CONVERSATION WOULD DO
A little conversation after s*x makes it worthwhile to most women; it adds a bit of connection too. It could be jokes, conversation about what to do later in the day or the next day; it could be anything, as far as it’s an active conversation.

5. TELL HER HOW MUCH YOU CARE
There is hardly a much better time to tell a woman how much you care about her than just after making love. To most women, a man’s action after s*x would determine how seriously he takes her. If he still sincerely tells her how much he cares after s*x then it would mean a lot.

6. A LITTLE SNACK WOULD HELP
A light food or snack after s*x would do a world of good; have you ever tried it? Most women wouldn’t mind; let me rephrase — most women would love to be fed a bit after s*x; it isn’t just wonderful, it’s awesome.

7. CARE AND ATTENTION
Women love not only care, but they also love attention after s*x. Watching TV, leaving immediately, being busy with your phone and other things just after s*x would make her feel unappreciated. Give her that care and total attention after s*x, and she would love it.

It’s a pity that most men can’t help but sleep after s*x. To be fair enough, after reaching climax, the human body releases the hormone oxytocin which would make man sleep. However, most women would still want the aforementioned from their man immediately after s*x…you can sleep afterwards.

No timetable for Cyprus talks..!!!


UN Security Council backing for the reunification of Cyprus is "encouraging," though no timetable is in the cards, the United Nations Special Adviser has said.


"All (15 Council members) were very encouraging for the work of the two leaders, and recognized the efforts they are making by thinking about the big picture instead of insisting on minor details," said Espen Barth Eide, the Norwegian adviser on Cyprus to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.

Eide, speaking after a closed-door council meeting, said this "new tone is recognized in New York and very much welcomed."

He said that "Political will and determination is needed for the solution of the Cyprus problem”.

Akıncı added there was a "long way" to go in the current talks - but it is possible to reach a solution within months if the current speed of negotiations continue.

Science reveals marijuana can heal broken bones


Weed

A new study has revealed that marijuana can heal broken bones.

A new study investigating the health benefits of marijuana has found that smoking weed could actually help broken bones to heal faster.
This conclusion was reached after researchers at Tel Aviv University found that rats with broken bones healed much quicker when given the non-psychotic marijuana component, cannabidiol or CBD.
According to this new study, published in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research, marijuana can also make the bones much stronger and more resilient against a repeated fracture.
Dr Yankel Gabet from Tel Aviv’s Bone Research Laboratory told  the Times of Israel:
"We found CBD alone to be sufficiently effective in enhancing fracture healing. Other studies have shown CBD to be a safe agent, which leads us to believe we should continue this line of study in clinical trials to assess its usefulness in improving human fracture healing."
This is not the first time weed has been known to be beneficial rather than harmful.

His epic journey is taking him through nine countries including Italy and France.

'Whilst I was on operations with the 2 Mercian Battlegroup in Cyprus, we were looking at a map of Europe one day when someone remarked how amazing it would be to walk home - a once in a lifetime experience,' Capt Lloyd Owen said.

'A light-bulb moment occurred and once I started thinking about it, I couldn't stop and so I decided to attempt it, and raise much-needed funds for the splendid military charity Walking With The Wounded in the process.'

Adultery website with close links to Cyprus hacked


The hackers have promised to release users’ information unless the website goes offline.
                                                                               Tuesday, 21 July, 2015
A hacked adultery website – with close links to Cyprus - has left millions of users fearful their marital indiscretions may posted online.

The AshleyMadison website, which promises a reported 37 million users complete "anonymity" as they pursue extramarital affairs, was targeted by a group known only as the ‘Impact Team’.

The hackers have promised to release users’ information unless the website goes offline.

Ashley Madison set up an office in the Strovolos district of Nicosia as a base for its international operations some years ago.

However, it is unclear how many users of the website are from Cyprus.

As well as employees in Cyprus, the dating website owner has about 160 workers, mostly in Toronto but also in Brazil, Japan and elsewhere.

The hackers have so far leaked details of some of the website's 37 million users and are threatening to release more, including the "secret sexual fantasies" of members.

Ashley Madison, owned by Avid Life Media, is a Canadian-based dating website for people already in a relationship.

"I AM STILL NANS VICE PRESIDENT & ACTING PRESIDENT", Comrade Jubril Back fires....


After the allegations raised against Comrade Jubril Arogundade Bankole, on saturday at the NANS TRzone senate meeting, he claim not guilty where he re-affirm himself as the vice president and also the acting president of NANS TURKISH ZONE, until the suspension issue with the national is been lift up" as he re-affirm on a phone call with our correspondents earlier this afternoon.  In a press briefing held at Evolve park in magusa on sunday, Comrade Bankole addressed the press that he is not going to step down from his position as the vice president of NANS TRZone, because of some reasons which he said that he has been appointed as the vice president by the national body, so no one has the right to impeached him,
We asked comrade Jubril that, what can he say about the allegations raised against him pertaining the sending of voice recording of their meetings and false messages to the national body in Nigeria that they accused him of?
"i did not record or send anything to Nigeria, rather i am an IT student, am not a fool, let them bring the recording as a proof and the IP address of the message" jubril said, and he said pertaining the issue of the mismatched signature of the letter that was given to the association on the day of their inauguration and the letter of Jubril's appointment as the acting president, after the letter of the president's impeachment, which he said the first letter was not signed by the  NANS national body president, he said the president said the letter should be signed on behalf of him, but comrade jubril doesn't exactly know who signed the letter, so that's why the signatures are different.
comrade Bankole also clarify the issue of the impeachment which he said it is a beef between him and the current administration of NSS EMU, that is the administration of comrade Salim Ringim, who is the senate president of NANS TRZone, Jubril said as a result of this beef that is why they are pushing of his impeachment.

also comrade David who was the financial secretary was silent since his impeachment by the senate on saturday, after he prove not guilty, and failed to come back to the meeting  after 10 minutes of his departure, as he said,

does that mean comrade David accepts his Impeachment as the financial secretary?

Does that mean Comrade Jubril is still the Vice President of NANS Turkish zone ?

And is it possible for a person to have two position at same time, the position of Vice President and acting President?

or does this signifies that NANS TRZone is becoming lawless association?

COMRADE JUBRIL AROGUNDADE IMPEACHED



The vice president of NANS turkish zone, comrade Jubril Arogundade, who is the CEO of Ofhand magazine, and comrade David, who is also the financial secretary of NANS TRzone yesterday 12/07/2015 been impeached by the senate of the NANS turkish zone, the sitting cheered by the senate president, also the EMU NSS President, comrade Salim ringim,at lala mustafa conference hall in EMU, the impeachment was as a result of some allegations raised against them, such as revealing the secret of the union, recording voice tape of the meeting of the association, sending false information about the association to the main body in Nigeria, and also trying to hijack the presidents seat, before the meeting last week, comrade Jubril present a letter of impeachment of the NANS TRzone President, which he said it was sent from the main national body in Nigeria, and also presented another letter of appointing him (Jubril) as the acting President NANS TRzone and also directing him to start preparation for the forth coming conventions and election, after that, the senate said that the two letters are invalid, thereby they can not accept them, we tried to take a glance at the letters but the senate members denied us a visual access to the letters to confirm the difference, so we don't know whether the issue of mismatch signature is true or not, as said by them, different signatures where spotted on both the two letters instead of one signature, that is the signature of the NANS main body President comrade Tijjani.
Alongside, Comrade Hamza presented the impeachment letter to comrade Arogundade and comrade David but they both denied it and saying they cannot accept it because they are not guilty, on that case Comrade Jubril and Comrade David stood up and walk out of the meeting, which we heard comrade David saying he will be back in 10 minutes but he didn't showed up till the end of the meeting,
Comrade David later called us pleading that we should please not air what he said in the interview we had with him, also saying he will call a press conference about the issue. unfortunately comrade David seem not to know who the press are, he thinks the press are working for him or for NANS, thats why he is giving such kind of direct command to the press men.
Moreover, after the issue of the impeachment was concluded, the senate president, comrade Hamza asked the General Secretary, comrade Emmanuel to give a brief recap of the union's status, where Emmanuel stated that the union has been going slowly due to some reasons, one of the reasons he stated was the issue of debt they owe some individuals, the association borrowed some money during the time of their inauguration for the preparation of the inauguration and other things, hoping to get the money from the so promised 5million naira by the NANS national body.

Does that mean Jubril and David are permanently outlined from NANS TRzone being them among the pioneers?
Or does that mean NANS Senate doesn't have the right to impeach any of the senate of executive member of the association found guilty of any offence?

'Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2' dominates Comic-Con day one

Lionsgate released a teaser clip for "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2" that shows character Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) presiding over what looks like a propaganda video.Screenshot by Nick Statt/CNET
SAN DIEGO -- If you need any more evidence that science fiction and fantasy now dominate pop culture, look no further than the "Hunger Games" franchise.
An event devoted to the latest film based on the dystopian book trilogy was the hot ticket during Day 1 of San Diego Comic-Con 2015. The 45-year-old annual comics confab draws tens of thousands of people to the San Diego bay front each year and makes a splash in the media as well.
On Thursday, a special panel convened at the infamous Hall H here, the 6,500-capacity convention-center venue that fans wait in line for hours -- and often overnight -- to gain entry to. Those who managed to get in were treated to an all-new trailer for "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2," which comes out November 20 and brings to a close one of the most successful young-adult book-to-film adaptations in years. The trailer won't be released for some time, director Francis Lawrence said.
Attendees also got to participate in a question-and-answer session with the film's cast, including stars Jennifer Lawrence, Willow Shields, Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth.
Young-adult fiction -- while nowhere near as genre-defining and ubiquitous as Comic-Con favorites like the "Star Wars" films or titles from comic book juggernauts Marvel and DC -- has become a powerful force at the pop culture convention over the last decade. The "Hunger Games" franchise, which has come to Comic-Con with cast members and exclusive first looks every year since 2012, has built its presence here thanks in part to momentum generated by cultural powerhouses like the "Harry Potter" and "Twilight" books and films.
While fans not in attendance here at Comic-Con won't be able to see the new "Mockingjay" trailer, producer Lionsgate did release a propaganda-filled clip that encapsulates the obsession shared by the film and book series when it comes to the function of messaging, the media and public perception in times of war.
Check it out below, and tune in for more Comic-Con coverage here at CNET over the next four days.

THE UN Special Adviser to Nicosia Espen Barth Eide said that there is a possibility of referendum on the re-unification of Cyprus next year. 

Eide, made the remarks at the Centre of Visual Arts & Research in Nicosia last night.

According to the Turkish Cypriot PIO, which sent a bulletin titled "Referendum is possible before May 2016” the envoy also said that the negotiating process is progressing well.

He said it is the first time that there are three ingredients in the Cyprus talks: "Genuine trust, genuine will and leadership."

The two sides, he noted, have changed their attitude from defending their positions to an attitude of solving problems together.
