Pepper Consumption Prolongs Life Research Study Says



Tobby Vision Computers Farm: Corn & fresh pepper
Recent research findings carried out in Mexico have brought out some health benefits for those who consume pepper which is widely available and consumed in abundance in Cameroon.
They say taking a diet seasoned with pepper reduces cholesterol in the blood and prolongs life. Researchers found out that the incidence of deaths from certain diseases among indigenes of New Mexico were lower than to other parts of Mexico. The experts then attributed this to the peoples’ diet which contained pepper as a key ingredient.
They say pepper also reduces the chances of one becoming diabetic. They therefore say that people who attribute the development of ulcers to pepper consumption are mistaken. “If they knew the number of vitamins that are found in pepper they will change their mind”, the experts opined.
The researchers found out that pepper contains a good quantity of vitamin ‘A’ which facilitates food metabolism and the assimilation of proteins and amino acids. Pepper also contains vitamin ‘E’ which removes toxic elements from the body and slows down the aging process, and that the vitamin ‘C’ contained in pepper strengthens the immune system.
The researchers also revealed that an experiment carried out on some 680,000 men suffering from prostrate cancer showed that pepper consumption kills the cancerous cells.

White House Demo Day Opening the doors to entrepreneurs from across the country

“[W]hen everybody is participating and given a shot, there’s nothing we cannot do. …Because when we've got everybody on the field, that's when you win games.”
President Obama at Boise State University, January 21, 2015
Right now, somewhere in America, someone is thinking of an idea that might sound unbelievable right now, but could become an indispensable product to billions of people in a matter of years.
But even the most innovative idea will fail if it doesn't have the environment it needs to grow.
 
Right now, too many Americans have the grit and creativity of a world-class entrepreneur, but not the resources—whether that's mentorship, networking, funding, or training—to make their ideas a reality. We can help change that.

The first-ever White House Demo Day will bring together entrepreneurs from all walks of life, from all across the country. And unlike a private-sector Demo Day, where entrepreneurs show off for funders, ours will "demo" individual success stories, highlighting the individual journeys of a diverse set of entrepreneurs—people whose stories show exactly why we need to grow the pie to make sure there's opportunity for everyone in our innovation economy.
Because if we're going to keep our lead as the best place on the planet to start and scale the next big innovative idea into a world-changing company, we've got to make sure more startup hotbeds emerge in every corner of America, and that those underrepresented in entrepreneurship are being tapped to fully contribute their entrepreneurial talents.
In the coming weeks, we'll release more details on the event—which will build on steps the Administration is already taking to empower a diverse set of entrepreneurs from around the country to launch and scale innovative companies.

Want to be a part of it?

Psalm 90

A Prayer of Moses the man of God
LORD, thou has been our dwelling place in all generations.
Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.
Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men.
For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.
In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth. For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.
Thou has set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.
For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told. The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath.
So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.
O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
Make us glad according to the days wherein thou has afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil.
Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children.
And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of ourhands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.

Hon. Justice AYAH Paul ABINE Castigates SCNC On Recorder Newspaper, EBOT Donatus TAMBE Reacts



Full Text Of Reaction Below:
MY REACTION ON THE DEFAMATIVE INTERVIEW GRANTED BY JUSTICE AYAH PAUL TO THE RECORDER NEWSPAPER ISSUE NO. 060 ON THURSDAY 2ND APRIL 2015
This uncultured way of addressing issues leaves the Learned Justice in total display of ignorance. The allegation of ceding the Southern part of our territory away means, it was formally part of La Republique du Cameroun which is, complete none sense. In this interview he earlier mentioned that on the 31st of December 2009 President Biya mentioned that the only document at the U.N Secretariat was that of 01/01/1960 with respect to the Independence of La Republique du Cameroun. He further indicated that it was imperative for articlel02(2) of the U.N Charter to be applied if there was a change in the boundary of La Republique du Cameroun after Independence in International Law.
That he asserted has never been done. Justice Ayah though a Jurist contradicts himself in elementary aspects of International Law as follows: He fails to note that it was the momentum being gathered by the U.N.O State of Cameroon (86.214sqkm) that provoked President Biya to react in 2009 in his end of year annual address to his citizens. This was buttressed by the fact that on the 20/05/2010 two maps, that is the maps of the former British Cameroons and of La Republique du Cameroun were handed by Dr. Ali Abdusalam Treiki the then President of the 64th Session of the U.N General Assembly, indicating that the process of Rectification and Regularization of U.N General Assembly resolution 1608 of the 21/04/1961 on the territory of the Former British Cameroons, today known as Cameroon U.N.O State (86.214sqkm) was on going.
It Is worth while mentioning that U.N debates and resolutions are passed at the level of the General Assembly which is the highest organ of the U.N while security matters are debated upon and sent to the Security Council for implementation unlike the unfounded procedure advanced by the Learned Man. It should be noted that debates had gone on at the level of the General Assembly before the two maps were handed. This event did not happen in a bizarre manner as purported by Justice Ayah Paul.
This Judge's mind must have been coated with colonial mentality void of evolution to meet up with contemporary times. An academic of his calibre is not expected to display total ignorance in a domain he claims he has authority. Elementary international law has eluded his mind and this virtually allows him to his own whims and caprices. This is very sad to note in the 21st century. Before one stands authoritatively to challenge a research finding he or she must make proper research to counter it. His position in the public service can not automatically give him knowledge without proper findings. Can he be able to answer the following questions? Why is it that, over the years, this ignorant citizen has not questioned the continuous presence of the U.N in the Southern Cameroons and Northern Cameroons? He as an Advocate General, why is it that over the years not even one of our Citizens has been imprisoned by the occupying force as a charge of treason, warrants for possessing our National Identity Card(N.I.D Card)? Why is it that the leader Professor Martin Chia Ateh who issues the National Identity Cards has not been interrogated by Interpol for using the UN emblemPThe mandate to issue these N.I.D's was given by the U.N Secretary General Ban Ki Moon and he personally certified Professor Martin Chia Ateh's N.I.D Card and gave him the Authorization to issue same Identification Cards to his citizens. As a man of law he would have reported the matter to Interpol i.e International Police Criminal Organization to verify the authenticity of the Cards.
Referring to his fellow citizens as misguided fellows who have seen the light at the end of the tunnel is disheartening. For Justice Ayah Paul who has been rewarded with some crumbs from his Masters' table to be recommending dialogue as he claims, has been advised by the International Community is fool hardy. Does this man know that the same U.N declared the Independence of the State on 13th December 2014 and rebroadcasted on 14th December 2014 and on 09/01/2015 through the B.B.C Radio News Cast in ENGLISH, FRENCH AND HAUSA Languages? The days ahead shall determine who has been preaching the right message.
It should be noted that this is a direct attack on the Cameroon U.N.O State (86.214sqkm). The State does not forgive nor does the State forget. Every action of a citizen shall be rewarded accordingly. The American Revolution against the British was never brought about by the elitist population then, but by Farmers and Cow boys. History continues to repeat itself. This should be noted carefully. For this misguided human being to compare us to Southern Sudanese fighting each other shows how empty he is. South Sudanese fought a Guerrilla Warfare and each of the groups had weapons at Independence. Their disagreement sent them back to their weapons.
Our State doesn't believe in any form of war. We are engaging in Preventive Democracy and it should be noted that in the Southern Part where the restoration struggle is being championed, the force of Argument is implied against the Argument of force.
This view of Justice Ayah Paul only portrays how he has eaten soya and is playing stomach politics. This man should note that the SCNC is not the only grouping advocating for the restoration of the Southern Cameroons. His position or purported election as Chairman of the SCNC was teleguided and staged by the occupying power possibly to down play the potentials of SCNC and give him ample chance to grant such an insultive interview.
Any way SCNC has not discovered the way forward yet as the New Country is concerned. This is not an issue for public debate. Time will determine.
