According to TVNZ, sources close to the 25-year-old star told the Belfast Telegraph newspaper: "Pals have told Rihanna not to get upset about Chris and Karrueche. They think the best revenge would be living well and looking good, but so far Rihanna's answer has been to party the pain away.

"It's understandable that she'd want to escape her feelings on this but she's taking it way too far. Everyone around her wants her to get some help -- they're genuinely worried about her.

"She's not in a good place and looks like she's self-destructing. Her friends are really worried about her and think she needs to take time out to detox and refocus."

Who has the Biggest Guns? Boko Haram or the Military

What is the best response when facing a regional insurgency and your troops are fanning the flames with violent raids that leave as many civilians dead as insurgents? President Goodluck Jonathan of Nigeria seems to think it is to send in even more troops. On May 14th he declared a state of emergency in three northern states that suffer most frequently from terrorist attacks.

Unlike the “surge” of American troops in Iraq in 2007, which increased numbers but also refined tactics, Nigeria is going after Boko Haram, a brutal jihadist group, with a sledgehammer. “We will hunt them down, we will fish them out,”

Military Bombards Terrorists' Camps

Following the declaration of state of emergency in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states by President Goodluck Jonathan last Tuesday, and the deployment of over 3000 troops and Counter Terrorists Squad (CTS) within 24 hours of the declaration, the military, yesterday, launched air and ground offensive in the thick forests of Sambisa, Borno State, an area which the Boko Haram sect was reported to have used as a recruiting and training base.

Nigeria Launches Massive Offensive Against Islamists

Nigeria says it has launched a "massive deployment of men and resources against Islamist insurgents, a day after the country's president declared a state of emergency in three northeastern states.

The Nigerian military said in a statement Wednesday it is aiming to rid the nation's border territories of terrorist bases."

Major attacks blamed on Boko Haram

 

2009

July - Attacks prompt government crackdown in Bauchi and Maiduguri; 800 people killed
 

2010

December - Bombings in central Nigeria and church attacks in the northeast kill 86
 

2011

June - Attack on a bar in Maiduguri kills 25 

August - Suicide bomber kills 23 at U.N. building in Abuja

November - Bombings in Damaturu and Potiskum kill 65

December - Christmas Day bombings across Nigeria 

 

In Washington , the U.S. State Department urged Nigeria to keep human rights in mind as it goes after the insurgents.

"We call on Nigerian officials to ensure that security forces protect civilians in a security response, in a way that respects human rights, and the rule of law. And to ensure that recent incidents in the north, including the violence in Baga,are fully investigated and those responsible are held accountable," State Department spokesman Patrick Ventrell said.

On Tuesday, President Goodluck Jonathan said Nigeria is facing a rebellion in the north and acknowledged that Boko Haram militants have taken over parts of Borno state.

Boko Haram has fought the government since 2009, killing hundreds of people in bomb and gun attacks that often target churches, officials, and law enforcement.

The disruptive group seeks to impose Islamic law across northern Nigeria.

Tommy Chong Wants Marijuana to be Legalized!

Tommy Chong wants to legalize marijuana. Knock us over with a feather.
The comedian feels that pot hasn't been legalized is no laughing matter.
With the government standing to earn money off it, what's the holdup?

"Look at the situation we're in now. Sequesters. Cuts. Everything across the board. Now, the government is tapped into the biggest cash crop in the world."
"There's little manufacturing cost. You don't have to do anything except watch it grow and get a couple of hippies to cut it and then put it in a bag."

"Hemp itself is going to save the world."
Chong echoed similar sentiments in an interview with IFC, saying the U.S. is missing out on "a ton of money" because marijuana isn't legal nationwide:

"It's a scam, see. They started the DEA, Nixon started it with an executive order, and they've spent some trillions of dollars fighting the weed and then haven't even made a dent."
"All they did [is spread it], and they affected the whole world. The whole world's been upset. That's one of the reasons we have wars," he went on.

U.N. Urges Eating Insects: It could Help Fight Hunger, Reduce Polution

Ants are sweet, nutty little insects, aren't they?

I'm not talking about their personalities, but how they taste. Stinkbugs have an apple flavor, and red agave worms are spicy. A bite of tree worm apparently brings pork rinds to mind.

This information will come in handy for those of us following the latest recommendation from the United Nations: Consume more insects.

A report released Monday by the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization reminds us that there are more than 1,900 edible insect species on Earth, hundreds of which are already part of the diet in many countries.

In fact, some two billion people eat a wide variety of insects regularly, both cooked and raw; only in Western countries does the practice retain an "ick" factor among the masses.

Why eat something that we usually swat away or battle with insecticides? For starters, many insects are packed with protein, fiber, good fats, and vital minerals—as much or more than many other food sources.

*Bizarre* New Zealand. Releases a list of banned children’s names including 4Real, Lucifer,Anal.

A prohibition exists after parents sought to register their offspring
with a variety of bizarre names.
Officials working for the country's births, deaths and marriages
department have updated the list of names they have rejected since
2001.
Two New Zealanders recently wanted to register their child's birth
with a backslash separating two names, but were told it would
contravene strict rules on what monikers are considered acceptable.
Also rejected were Majesty, Queen Victoria, and Knight as they break
the rules that prohibit anything that implies a title.

*Bizarre* British deputy speaker of parliament (55) arrested for raping another man

A deputy speaker of Britain's lower house of Parliament was arrested
Saturday on suspicion of raping one man and sexually assaulting
another, according to media reports.
Nigel Evans, a lawmaker in Prime Minister David Cameron's Conservative
Party, was reportedly questioned over the alleged attacks on two men
in their 20s.
Evans, 55, represents the Ribble Valley constituency in Lancashire,
northwest England, and is one of the three deputy speakers of the
House of Commons.
"A 55-year-old man from Pendleton in Lancashire has today, Saturday, .
. . been arrested by Lancashire Constabulary on suspicion of rape and
sexual assault," the local police force said in a statement.
A spokes woman for the force later said the suspect had been released
on bail until June 19.
Police said the alleged attacks took place in the village of
Pendleton, where Evans lives, between July 2009 and March 2013.
Cameron has reportedly been informed of the arrest.
Evans revealed he was gay in 2010, eight years after he was elected to
Parliament, saying he was "tired of living a lie." He is a popular
figure in London's Westminster political hub, well-liked by lawmakers
across the political spectrum.
His arrest stunned fellow Conservatives. "Everybody's completely
shell-shocked," Michael Ranson, chairman of the Ribble Valley
Conservative Association, told Sky News television. "He is a very
popular MP (member of Parliament)."
Brian Binley, a Conservative lawmaker and a friend of Evans, said: "I
was just deeply disturbed and shocked. I consider him to be a very
good friend. I know him to be caring, compassionate and in no way
would he inflict himself violently on any other person."
As a deputy speaker, Evans has the authority to stand in for the
speaker of Parliament, who is tasked with keeping order during
debates.
The Welsh lawmaker also served as a vice chairman of the Conservative
Party between 1999 and 2001, and was its spokesman on affairs
pertaining to Wales for two years after that.
When he came out of the closed in 2010, Evans claimed that political
opponents had threatened to reveal his secret.
"I could not afford it to be used as leverage against me. I couldn't
take the risk. I don't want any other MP to face that kind of
nastiness again," he told The Mail on Sunday newspaper. "I am sure
there are other gay MPs who would like to be open about their
sexuality but are fearful of the consequences."

Chris Brown OFFICIALLY announces that He has broken up with Rihanna again

Chris Brown's and Rihanna 's love has hit another sour note. Rather
than let the rumor mill run rampant for too long, Breezy confirmed to
Australia's Kyle & Jackie O show Sunday (May 5) that he and Rihanna
have split (again). Speaking about his birthday, Brown announced that
he'd be celebrating as a single man. "I really wanna see as many girls
as possible," he said. "I'm do[this birthday] solo. At the end of the
day, shorty [Rihanna's] doing her thing, she on the road.
"It's always gon' be love but I'ma do me. I'm a grown man so I just
gotta' walk forward."
The 24-year-old didn't go too deep into detail but from the sounds of
it, the relationship's end may have been spearheaded by Rihanna, which
he eluded to on the song "I Can 't Win," released last week . "People
have different wants and needs," he explained. "At the end of the day
she [Rihanna's] a young girl. I can't really be focused on wife-ing
somebody that young…and I'm young too, so I can't focus on that right
now. I just gotta step forward and be a man, and be the best Chris
Brown I can be, instead of worrying about whoever else is going to be
in my side pocket."
Now that he's single, the "Fine China" crooner hasn't wasted much time
getting back into the swing of things. He celebrated hisbirthday in
Los Angeles and Las Vegas over the weekend, re-linking with
ex-girlfriend Karrueche Tran, who partied with the Virginia native
on Friday (May 3) night.

Rihanna's hasn't yet responded toBrown's interview, but since the
25-year-old's health is on the mend, her focus is likely on finishing
up the Diamonds World Tour, which rolled into New York City last
night.
