London road to be named after Amy Winehouse

Amy WinehouseLos Angeles - Amy Winehouse is set to have a road named after her.

There are already a number of tributes being planned to the late singer - who tragically died in July 2011 aged just 27 - and her father Mitch has revealed residents of the King's Cross area in London have been asked to suggest street names for a new housing development close to Camden, where Amy used to live.

Mitch told The Sun newspaper: "To think that our surname would be indelibly linked with London through the naming of a street after Amy is remarkable.

"We are a London family through and through and it would be a tremendous honour if we do become a literal part of the fabric of this great city."


The Rehab singer's fans have already eagerly submitted Winehouse Street as an idea for the road name and Winehouse Way has also been suggested.

Other famous figures being considered for the street include Charles Dickens, who wrote about part of the town and Frankenstein author Mary Shelley who was born there.

Mitch - who has set up the Amy Winehouse Foundation since her untimely death to help people with drug and alcohol addictions - is busy working on a statue of her to be erected in Camden and the star´s family confirmed earlier this week there will be a documentary made about her life

LASG shuts 30 illegal medicines stores in Ajah, Lekki

LASG shuts 30 illegal medicines stores in Ajah, LekkiThe Lagos State Task Force on Counterfeit, Fake Drugs and Unwholesome Processed Foods, said on Sunday that it had sealed about 30 illegal patent medicine stores in the Ajah-Lekki area of the state.
free web site traffic and promotion A statement in Lagos by the Lagos State Ministry of Health said that the state government was worried about the dangers posed by illegal drug hawkers.
It quoted Dr Yewande Adesina, the Special Adviser to the State Governor on Public Health, as saying that their nefarious activities needed to be urgently curtailed.
The statement alerted members of the public to the risks and dangers of purchasing drugs from hawkers.
``The shops were sealed for offences ranging from sales of drugs without license from the regulatory authorities, to failure to relocate from a market area/adherence to the mandated distance between a patent medicine shop and the market place, among others.
``The drug distribution system in Lagos will get worse if the activities of illegal drug operators are allowed to continue unchecked," the statement quoted Adesina as saying.
It also said that the Special Adviser said that the government would do all it can to stop the inherent dangers associated with the sale of drugs through unauthorised outlets.
The statement also assured the people that the state government was committed to streamlining the drug distribution system in the state to enhance public safety.
It cited the provision of the pharmaceutical laws which prescribed that pharmaceutical premises cannot be located in motor parks or an environment where commercial activities are, and are growing very closely together.
The statement noted that any pharmaceutical premises surrounded or covered completely by a growing market or standing close to it, shall relocate to another suitable location, two years after formal notification to do so.
It, therefore, advised all intending pharmacy operators and patent medicine vendors to liaise with the Pharmacists Council of Nigeria and the Directorate of Pharmaceutical Services, to get a permit.
The statement added that those interested in the importation, distribution and sales of drugs should get their premises licenced by the appropriate authorities.

Katy Perry Files $6.5 Million Countersuit Against UK Haircare Company

Katy Perry's hairy legal mess continues.
Despite U.K.-based beauty company Jemella Group Limited's effort to prevent the singer from taking legal action against them, the famous pop singer has filed a $6.5 million countersuit against Good Hair Day's parent company for not holding their end of the bargainKaty Perry
Jemella Group Limited originally filed a complaint in federal court in California a couple weeks ago, saying that in 2011, they agreed to pay Perry $4.5 million to appear in their ads and be a celebrity spokeswoman for the brand for two years, but the singer's camp said there was an oral agreement extending the contract for another two and a half years and another $6.5 million.
In her counterclaim filed in Federal Court on Monday and obtained by E! News, the "Wide Awake" singer claims that while Good Hair Day (ghd) says they have no current valid deal with her, the company "continues to use Perry's name and image on its website to promote is hair care products. ghd has failed to honor its contractual obligations to Perry, yet it continues to benefit from Perry by using her name and image without compensating her."
The legal documents add that the website still labels the pop singer as the company's "brand ambassador."

Dortmund DESTROYs Real Madrid

Borussia DortmundRobert LewandowskiThe first leg is over! Borussia Dortmund will travel to the Bernabeu with a 4-1 lead and they're well worth it. Real Madrid can count themselves lucky that they even have an away goal to call their own, as they only scored courtesy of a shocking individual error by Mats Hummels.

Twitter: 2 step sign-in

Twitter’s upcoming two-step sign-in system could prevent the next big hack
Twitter’s upcoming two-step sign-in system could prevent the next big hackWhen hackers compromised the Associated Press’s Twitter account yesterday, they showed just how much damage one can do with a few scary tweets.
Now, Twitter is finally making it harder for that to happen again. The company is working on a two-factor authentication system for Twitter accounts, which should, in theory, make it harder for hackers to break into them, as Wired reports.
Here’s how it works: Right now when you log into your Twitter account from a new computer or device, Twitter treats that device like any other you’ve used — you just log in and start using the service. With two-factor authentication, that process gets a bit more complicated: Soon, when you try to log in on a new device, Twitter will also send to your phone a random code, which must be entered on you new device before you’re able to use Twitter.
Basically, what two-factor authentication does is add a second layer of security: Hackers may get a hold of your password, but it won’t do them much good if they don’t also have your phone.
While two-factor authentication is new to Twitter, Facebook, Google, and, most recently, Microsoft all already offer it. It’s not perfect, but then again, no security measure really is.

Kanye West Boosts G.O.O.D. Rapper D'Banj's 'Scapegoat' With Two-Verse Remix

Kanye emerges / Photo by Getty ImagesKanye West has mostly been quiet since last year's G.O.O.D. Music album Cruel Summer, but he's been at work on something. At least part of it is for G.O.O.D. Music rapper D'Banj's "Scapegoat," a delightfully sunny song that nudges up against soca. D'Banj is a Nigerian pop star who is the breakout star of Africa's afrobeats scene, which bridges the gap between the sounds and rhythms of Afrobeat to the tempo of dance music. He broke out in Europe last year with the single "Oliver Twist" and appeared on the Cruel Summer track "The Morning," but has mostly been an overseas concern for Kanye's label. "Scapegoat" is a few years old, but has apparently been excavated for a major push worldwide, with West descending from the throne to add two new high-profile verses for a remix.
In his private pursuits, Kanye's reportedly flown various artists to Paris over the past few months, including new Chicago stars King L, Chief Keef, and Young Chop. He's also recorded a few new songs with Daft Punk (via Stereogum), which are apparently slated for his upcoming, allegedly God-making next album.
