Face dismissal proceeding for sending ‘derogatory emails’ to staff members By Kimmy Blair Street Hype Reporter

“There are no Black male principal in D 79,” Green alleged, adding that the new “White” principal at the School of Cooperative Technical Education, Corey Prober, was elected in a secret manner in contradiction to the C-30 procedure prescribed by the Chancellor’s Regulation. Green complained to the SCI, the Office of Legal Counsel, and the Department of Education Equality Opportunity and Diversity Management, and said they have circled the wagons, dismissed his complaints, and justified the bigotry and nepotism that D 79, under the control of Dr. Tim Lisante, has long engaged in. Meanwhile, the U.S. Department of Education (DOE) validated Green’s complaint and is conducting its own investigation, warning that retaliation is prohibited.

longtime community educator and educational activist says he was abruptly pulled out of his classroom last week because of his penchant for speaking out about discriminatory practices and is being threatened with dismissal. Dr. Rupert Green, who is also a member of State Senator Comrie’s Educational Advisory Committee and a 15-year veteran New York City educator, said he was removed from the classroom at John Adams High School in Queens last Thursday and placed in a warehouse to face dismissal proceeding. In a press release to Street Hype Newspaper, Dr. Green claimed that his students in the Science Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) program at John Adams has no teacher qualified to teach the program as a result of his absence from the school. His removal from the classroom came as a result of a Special Commissioner of Investigation (SCI) finding that Dr. Green “used the DOE email to send derogatory emails to staff members.” However, Dr. Green claimed that he has been sending emails for more 15 years to talk about educational matters, including actions that District 79 engages in to prevent Blacks, especially males, from becoming school administrators.

E ED DI IT TO OR RI IA AL L

The high cost of living in New York City! T he cost of living in New York City is very unbearable for a significant number of its people. In fact, it is estimated that taking all expenses into account, the cost of living in New York City is at least 69 percent higher than the national average. If you live in the city center, it is even worse. The cost of living in Manhattan, for example, is more than double the national average. Housing costs, food prices, and other living expenses have forced people to constantly borrow or take on several jobs – or “hustle” on

the side -- to supplement their income. In addition, before the average New Yorker’s paycheck even reaches the bank, he or she is already shelling out some of the highest income taxes in the country, with total rates ranging from 7 to 12 percent. At the same time, residents face some of the least affordable housing in the country, along with prices for every-day products that are up to twice the national averages. A typical middle class resident makes about $40,000 a year, while equivalent residents in other part of the country earn $17,900 a year.

patrick@streethype.net

Considering only rental expense or housing mortgage of up to $2,000, an income of

$3,000 per month is not sufficient to keep pace with the living expenses. New Yorkers, especially Blacks and Latinos, are desperately seeking opportunities to increase personal income. Therefore the announcement that minimum wage would rise from $9 per hour to $15 over three years in New York City, starting Dec. 31, 2016, is good news for the poorest among us. However, it won’t be good news for most small and medium-size operations as they struggle to meet wages expenses.

People Are Talking...!

Governor Cuomo’s Last Minute Power Grab

ou should know that in the eleventh hour, New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo has slipped language into the Budget that would allow him to take over the homeless shelters in the City of New York.

As you all know, the Governor has declared war on New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, and he is doing everything possible to embarrass the Mayor without regard or respect for the hard work and sacrifices of New York City’s CommunityBased Organizations that run shelters. In the middle of this fight are the poor, the needy and the suffering New York City residents. Instead of joining forces with the Mayor of the City of New York and the CommunityBased Organizations, the Governor wants to remove Community-Based Organizations and replace them with anyone he chooses to be in charge. Governor Andrew Cuomo should strive to solve housing problems by forcing the landlords who own the actual property where the homeless shelters exist to remedy the violations in those buildings. The building violations are caused by the landlords’ neglect – not the Community-Based Organizations! Instead of Governor Cuomo working to punish the landlords who own and neglect

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

By Senator Rev. Rubén Díaz diaz@nysenate.gov District 32 Bronx County

the buildings where the shelters are located, surprise, surprise: he is planning to punish the Community-based Organizations for building code violations that are completely out of their hands.

Governor Cuomo should strive to solve housing problems by forcing the landlords who own the actual property where the homeless shelters exist to remedy the violations in those buildings.

It is absolutely ridiculous for the Governor and for the State of New York to take over shelter programs in the City of New York and, yet still force the Mayor and the City of New York to fund shelters with the City’s resources they are not even in control of.

My dear reader, it’s A-OK for the Governor to take over State programs and put in charge whomever he pleases, but NOT for him to come to the City of New York and tell the Mayor and the City Council and Community-based Organizations that he’s taking over the shelter system – expecting to use the City’s resources. It’s only in Cuba where you see these kinds of political maneuvers! I have to implore my colleagues in the State Legislature – especially Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie, Senate Independ-

ent Democratic Conference Leader Jeff Klein, Senate Democratic Conference Leader Andrea Stewart Cousins to NOT allow for this outrageous manipulation of resources to pass in New York State’s Budget and force the City of New York to pay for programs controlled by the State of New York. If our leaders allow for this kind of power shift to take place, and use the excuse that it will help the homeless, they are fooling no one. This language that has been slipped into the Budget at the last minute will hurt the Community-Based Organizations that serve the homeless and the City of New York, and we must not allow that to happen. I am Senator Rubén Díaz and this is what you should know. More news at www.streethype.net

103-Year-Old Woman Robbed

Police have arrested the woman who they say robbed a 103-year-old woman at her Bronx apartment. Authorities say it happened around 2:30 p.m. Friday at an apartment building on Bellamy Loop in Co-Op City. Police say 53-year-old Sharon McNeil followed the elderly woman onto an elevator. When the victim got out, police say McNeil knocked her to the ground and took her shopping cart. "I'm nervous. I'm jittery. I'm still shaking," the victim said. "What could she get from me? Well, maybe she thought I had cards with me. She probably just thought I had credit cards or a cellphone,"the victim, who was still shaken up. Police say McNeil was caught on surveillance cameras leaving the building after the attack. She now faces charges of robbery, assault, and harassment.

New Rochelle Gets Red Light Cameras

New Rochelle: n an effort to increase safety at some of the City’s busiest intersections, the New Rochelle Police Department has installed red light cameras at various intersections throughout the City. Warning signs have been installed and enforcement will begin mid-April. “The cameras will monitor select locations based on traffic volume and accident data. We hope that their installation will signal to motorists to drive more cautiously throughout the entire City,” said Police Commissioner Patrick Carroll.

Black Educator Claims Racism and Discrimination

Continued from page 1 However, in response, the OSI subsequently conducted three investigations against Green, including a more serious conflict of interest, which they found not to be true. Green said the conflict of interest arose because he attempted to write a federal proposal to obtain $2.5 million to give the school to run a STEM after school program. Green believes that it is a rouge element in the DOE that is using the investigatory agencies as agent of repression against those who speak out. Since the DOE is now trying to recruit Black males, he finds the actions against him contradictory. The educator has setup a “gofundme,” to obtain legal help to fight the charges against him. Those wishing to help can visit his website at ifhoset.org or email him at educateme5@yahoo.com.

Jamaican Flight Attendant Charged With Coke Smuggling a 'Flight Risk'

Brooklyn:

etBlue flight attendant, Marsha Gay Reynolds, 32 is being held in custody for transporting cocaine. A Brooklyn magistrate judge agreed to release on bail the flight attendant charged with ditching 70 pounds of cocaine at Los Angeles International Airport — but the feds immediately clipped her wings. Reynolds surrendered to federal authorities at John F. Kennedy International Airport, though it wasn't immediately clear how she reached New York, federal officials said. Prosecutors declared her a "flight risk" and asked the judge to keep her in custody until she is moved to California to face drug charges that carry a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years in prison.

Minimum wages pushes towards $15 an hour

NEW YORK CITY: overnor Andrew Cuomo and state legislative leaders reached a deal on Thursday to raise New York state's minimum wage towards $15 per hour, but fell short of a uniform statewide increase. The deal outlines a faster rise in New York City, but carves out a slow lane for small businesses and surrounding counties. In less prosperous areas north of the city it rises to $12.50 per hour before a state review of the law's impact. The minimum wage agreement was part of a broad budget deal that Cuomo announced late on Thursday. He said the plan included 12 weeks of paid family leave and $4.2 billion in tax cuts. The $147 billion budget caps spending growth at 2 percent. "I believe that this is the best plan the state has produced in decades," Cuomo told a news conference in the state capital, Albany. Cuomo has earmarked $100 billion in infrastructure spending in the state. The budget also increases school funding by 6.5 percent to $24.8 billion and freezes tuition at the state university system, SUNY. The minimum wage has been a controversial element in difficult budget negotiations that threatened to delay the spending plan past the start of the state's fiscal year on April 1. The agreement, including the minimum wage, still needs to get approval from lawmakers. Under the terms of the deal the minimum wage would rise from its current $9 per hour to $15 over three years in New York City starting on Dec. 31, 2016. City businesses with up to 10 employees would be given four years to implement the measure. Long Island and Westchester County around New York City would be given six years to push through the increases while the rest of the state would see the minimum wage rise to $12.50 in five years, with indexed increases to $15 possible after review. There is also a provision to suspend the increases from 2019 if economic conditions worsen. The compromise is a climb down for Cuomo and his fellow Democrats who had pushed for a $15 state-wide minimum and no carve outs for small businesses. Republicans argued that a flat statewide rate could hurt businesses in less wealthy areas. "It may not go to $15. There's no guarantee, that's the good thing," said Senator George

Amedore, a Republican representing a constituency upstate, who commented on the agreement to Reuters. Phil Steck, a Democratic Party assembly member, who represents a district 165 miles (265 km) north of the city, argued that the opposite was true, and a lower minimum wage would be a blow to the upstate economy. "We have a very strapped economy in upstate New York and the surest way to ensure continued

poverty is to run a low wage economy," he said. "If anything, the poorer areas of the state needed an increase in the minimum wage more." The multi-tier solution could also dampen the national drive for a $15 minimum wage that has gathered pace as Democrats mobilize their base ahead of the presidential election in November.

Oil prices volatile on output fears

il prices have rebounded slightly after early falls, although doubts still remain that output will be curbed at a meeting later this month. Iran's oil minister has reportedly repeated that the country will continue to increase production and exports. The slight rise follows big falls on Friday after Saudi Arabia said it would freeze production only if other major producers did the same. Oil producers are to meet on 17 April to discuss a deal to freeze output. Brent crude crept up by 0.5% to $38.86 in morning trading. In February, Saudi Arabia struck a deal with Russia and other Opec nations to freeze oil output at January levels. But Iran wants production to hit pre-sanction levels before beginning talks.

PSOJ To Lead Push For Boycott Of T&T Products

--------------------------------------------

he Private Sector Organisation of Jamaica (PSOJ) is to push for a boycott of goods from Trinidad and Tobago against the background of recent complaints by Jamaicans that they were ill-treated and refused entry by immigration officials. William Mahfood reportedly said their should be a boycott until Trinidad and Tobago honours its obligations under the CARICOM Single Market and Economy (CSME). CANA reported Mahfood as saying that it was time for Jamaica to stand up for its rights. He said it was time for the country to refuse Trinidad access to the Jamaican market, if it continues to restrict free movement of Jamaican citizens. The PSOJ president, according to the report, said he had been in touch with Foreign Affairs Minister Senator Kamina JohnsonSmith, and that he would be pushing for the country to use its market as leverage to achieve freedom of movement.

Kathrada calls for Zuma to resign

South Africa:

South African anti-apartheid veteran has called on President Jacob Zuma to resign following a scandal over improper spending at his private home.

Ahmed Kathrada, who was jailed alongside Nelson Mandela, said that Mr Zuma's resignation would end a "crisis of confidence" in the government. Zuma said on Friday he would repay the money but would remain in his post. He has faced widespread calls for his resignation from South Africa's opposition. South Africa's highest court ruled that Mr Zuma had failed to uphold the constitution by ignoring instructions to repay some of the $16m in state funds spent on renovations at his private residence. In a televised address on Friday, Mr Zuma made no reference to the calls for his resignation.

Jacob Zuma President, South Africa

The leadership of Mr Zuma's party, the African National Congress, said it was united behind its leader, but the intervention of 86year-old Mr Kathrada, a party veteran, may carry weight. Along with Mr Mandela, Mr Kathrada was among eight ANC activists sentenced to life imprisonment after being convicted of trying to overthrow the apartheid government during the 1963-1964 Rivonia Trial. In an open letter published in South African media, Mr Kathrada said: "In the face of such persistently widespread criticism, condemnation and demand, is it asking too much to express the hope that you will choose the correct way that is gaining momentum, to consider stepping down? "I know that if I were in the president's shoes, I would step down with immediate effect." A composite image showing South African President Jacob Zuma and his Nkandla residenceImage.

Chinese company to build regional headquarters in Jamaica

By Peta-Gay Hodges KINGSTON, Jamaica (JIS): hina Communications Construction Company (CCCC) will begin the construction of its regional headquarters in New Kingston later this year, signalling its confidence in Jamaica and its intent to remain in the region and to continue to invest in the country. Vice president of CCCC, Ziyu Sun, made the disclosure shortly after the official opening of its landmark project in Jamaica, the North-South leg of Highway 2000, on Wednesday, March 24.

He pointed out that the company decided to concentrate on Jamaica for three reasons. The first was the fact that Jamaica was the first Caribbean country to set up diplomatic relations with China in the early 1970s, yielding what is now a long history between the two countries. The second consideration was to fulfill China’s interest in building an economic partnership with the Jamaican people; and thirdly, Jamaica is an island and China Harbour Engineering Company (CHEC) specialises in activities, such as marine engineering, dredging and bridge building.

Sun said that CCCC is one of the 500 largest enterprises in the world. “We are currently ranked at 165 and expecting to move ahead another 20 positions by the end of the year,” he noted, adding that the company’s decision to establish headquarters in Jamaica is an indication of its confidence in the government and people of Jamaica. According to Sun, the building of the North-South leg of Highway 2000 was the first overseas investment for CCCC and its subsidiary CHEC, using the Build-OperateTransfer (BOT) model.

State Bar Seeks Changes to Power-of-Attorney Law

ALBANY -

he New York State Bar Association is lobbying to change New York's power-of-attorney statute, which its members say is fraught with procedural pitfalls that pose "significant and severe repercussions" for both lawyers and clients.

The bar's Working Group on Power of Attorney said 2008 and 2010 revisions to the power-of-attorney statute failed to meet the intended goal of strengthening protections for potentially incapacitated principals. Instead, the group says power-of-attorney paperwork is now riddled with "traps for the unwary." The state bar's House of Delegates

adopted the group's findings and authorized a lobbying effort in Albany to have powerof-attorney procedures revert back to simpler pre-2008 procedures by amending General Obligations Law, §5-1501-§51514. Ellen Makofsky, the chair of the panel, said the "continuous" errors being made in preparation of power-of-attorney documents is due to the unnecessary complexity of New York's law. "The power of attorney is too complicated and the complications make improper execution of the form an easy task," said Makofsky, of Makofsky and Associates in Garden City. "There are severe repercussions to improper execution of the form when the principal subsequently becomes

separately, a statutory gifts rider authorizing the gifting by agents of the principal of $500 or more. Signing requirements for the two forms are different and either can be voided due to procedural defects. The panel recommended reverting to the use of one document. • Eliminate the requirement that in order to be valid, a power-of-attorney form must contain the "exact wording" as the statute. The standard should be a "substantial compliance" one, and that the "exact wording" requirement has resulted in the hypertechnical voiding of power-of-attorney forms because they do not match the General Obligations Law word-for-word.

Costa Rica defeats Reggae Boyz 3-0

SAN JOSE, Costa Rica: eggae Boyz skipper Adrian Mariappa was in a somber mood when he spoke to the media outside the mixed zone shortly after his team suffered a heavy 3-0 defeat to Costa Rica inside Estadio Nacional de Costa Rica on Tuesday night. For the Crystal Palace defender, it was a case of everything going wrong for his team and a very alert and quality-filled opposition pouncing on every mistake. “It is obviously a massive blow for us. We got caught between two schools of thought today and we didn’t quite get it right on the

pitch and we left ourselves very open,” explained Mariappa in a hushed tone. “They are a very good side and they were able to capitalise on what we didn’t get right, and with that said it is a tough loss and we are going to have to get back to the drawing board. “We got a lot of work to do before the Copa (America Centenario) and we are going to get a couple weeks together to work on things, and that time in the summer should do us some good and then we should be ready to play the game in September,” the man popularly referred to as ‘Maps’, added.

KOLKATA, INDIA: he women and men of the West Indies made Sunday, April 3, 2016 a special day in the history of the region's cricket when they both won their respective finals of the ICC World Twenty/20 championships. The day in Kolkata ended on the most sensational note imaginable, when Carlos Brathwaite, batting at number 8 for the West Indies men, struck four consecutive sixes to secure victory over England by four wickets, with two balls to spare. England, batting first, had been restricted to 155/9. That target, which might not have looked too daunting during the innings break, but with the loss of three early wickets, including that of the influential Chris Gayle, the outcome was in serious doubt for a while. The batting was held together by Marlon Samuels, who had come in at the fall of the first wicket. He remained there to the very end, top scoring with 85 from 66 balls, as he kept the West Indies mostly on track to overhaul the target. With 19 runs to get at the start of the final over, however, hopes might have begun to fade in the West Indies dugout. That over was bowled by Ben Stokes, who, in England's semi-final match against New Zealand, had been very effective in restricting the opposing batsmen in the final stage of their innings. His captain, Eoin Morgan, no doubt expected more of the same in the most crucial over of the championship, but against a rampant Brathwaite, there was going to be no repeat performance. His four attempted yorkers all failed to land on the right spot on the pitch. Instead they landed in the stands courtesy of the mighty swings of Brathwaite's bat, sparking wild celebrations in the stands among the partisan Indian fans. Women Earlier, in the women's final, the West Indian ladies bowled very well to restrict the more experienced Australians to 148/5 off their 20 overs. Elyse Villani and Meg Lanning were joint top scorers with 52 runs each, while Deandra Dottin took 2/33 from her four overs. The West Indies, in a very controlled reply, was never in serious trouble, as the openers, Hayley Mathews and captain Stafanie Taylor, batting well, put on 120 runs for the first wicket. Mathews was the first to go, falling for a top score of 66. Taylor went for 59 in the 19th over with her team well in sight of victory, at 144. Dottin and Britney Cooper then took the West Indians home, overhauling the Aussie ladies to end at 149/2.

The album starts with a single title 'Foundation', which mentions some of the Ska greats and states that 'Ska is the original sound, Jamaica's first big music". "I truly think ska music should be preserved and respected by us as Jamaican people for being our first international music" says Stephens.

"This upcoming trip to Westmoreland is very special to me, considering that I grew up in Little London and attended Savanna La Mar Primary School which is actually about a quarter mile from the Savanna La Mar Hospital" Dr Williams said. “The need for proper dental care is very great in this community, with many people only seeking care whenever they are in pain or develop some sort of dental infection, which normally ends up with the offending tooth being extracted.

The fatal crash — with a city police cruiser responding to an emergency call Thursday afternoon — occurred at the intersection of Parham’s street and Summit Avenue, about 3½ blocks from his home. Parham’s wife, Isabelle, declined to speak to reporters Friday afternoon, having just traveled 6½ hours home from Virginia. Her next-door neighbor, John Foschino, 60, remembered Parham fondly as the first friend he made when he moved to

MARCH 19-31, 2016 • STREET HYPE NEWSPAPER • 15

the neighborhood 15 years ago. “He was a great neighbor,” Foschino said, recalling that Parham would often plow his sidewalk after a snowstorm without even asking and would happily lend him power tools. “He was a good man.” The fatal crash occurred as a Hackensack police officer was responding to a report of an accident in Maywood at Spring Valley Avenue and Coles Street, near the Hackensack border. One of the vehicles involved in the Maywood crash, a motorcycle, had been eluding police earlier, authorities said. In the Hackensack crash, Grewal said, the patrolman was in a marked cruiser traveling on Summit Avenue, which has a posted speed limit of 35 mph. His statement did not say anything about the speed of either vehicle.

BEAUTY CARE How to Take Care of Your Hair

16 • STREET HYPE NEWSPAPER • MARCH 19-31, 2016

WWW.STREETHYPENEWSPAPER.COM

aintaining your hair is relatively easy with the right kind of steps. Hair is made of protein, so keeping a healthy diet and good hygiene is an essential part of maintaining luscious locks. At the same time, here are some other tips about hair care, and what you can do at home to get unbelievably beautiful hair. • Washing hair properly - Wash hair sparingly and use a good-quality shampoo. Washing hair too often can leave hair dried out, leached of its natural oils, and may damage your hair. Aim to shampoo your hair at most every other day or even only twice a week. • Take Care of Your Hair Step 22 - Try shampoos that do not contain sulfates or parabens. Sulfates are the chemicals that make shampoos lather up. Parabens are preservatives that cause irritation and eye problems after prolonged use[2]. Both of these chemicals aren't healthy for you or the environment so try to use shampoos with natural cleansers.

• Choose a shampoo that suits your hair type. Don't just go for any old shampoo; go

• Condition your hair properly based on hair type: For fine hair: If you have very limp hair, try a botanical oil treatment before you shampoo. Use lavender or tea-tree oil, for example, and work it under your cuticles before shampooing. Wash shampoo away and apply conditioner from the mid-shaft down to the end. Leave in for a minute before washing.

for the shampoo that works for your hair type. Typical types include (but are not limited to): Curly or coarse hair probably wants frizz-minimizing and softening shampoo. Straight or oily hair probably wants a gentle shampoo designed for daily washing. Colored or treated hair probably needs a shampoo that's fortified with extracts or amino acids, because treating your hair is essentially damaging it. Dry hair probably needs shampoos with glycerin and collagen to help restore some moisture into the hair.

• Use conditioner that matches your hair type, length, and treatment damage. A good rule of thumb is to condition every time you shampoo your hair, although very processed or dyed hair probably needs a little more love than natural hair. • Deep condition once a week. Use a storebought hair care product, or venture out on your own and try a homemade solution. Deep conditioning is very good for your hair. It keeps hair soft, healthy and moisturized.

• For medium to thick hair, use a moisturizer with natural hydrators. Keep your conditioner light. Apply conditioner all over your head and let stay for 2-3 minutes. Be careful about using hair care products with too much protein. Too much protein can leave your hair feeling desiccated and brittle. While protein is the building block of healthy hair, use conditioners that come with balanced ingredients. Frizz-control serum can be used in small quantities to tame frizzes. Make sure you do not use too much, and wash once a week with a deep-cleanse shampoo to avoid build-up, which will leave hair looking dull and flaky.

TAX GUIDE Tax Fraud Alerts

WWW.STREETHYPENEWSPAPER.COM

RS Wants You to Know About Schemes, Scams and Cons "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!" Don't become a victim to any scheme that offers instant wealth or exemption from your obligation as a United States citizen to file tax returns and/or pay taxes. Some of these schemes can literally cost you your life savings. Others can result in your prosecution and imprisonment if you knowingly participate in them. Abusive Return Preparer Taxpayers should be very careful when choosing a tax preparer. While most preparers provide excellent service to their clients, a few unscrupulous return preparers file false and fraudulent tax returns and ultimately defraud their clients. It is important to know that even if someone else prepares your return, you are ultimately responsible for all the information on the tax return. Abusive Tax Schemes Abusive tax scheme originally took the structure of fraudulent domestic and foreign trust arrangements. However, these schemes have evolved into sophisticated arrangements to give the appearance that taxpayers are not in control of their money. However, the taxpayers receive their funds through debit/credit cards or fictitious loans. These schemes often involve offshore banking and sometimes establish scam corporations or entities.

Nonfiler Enforcement There have always been individuals who, for a variety of reasons, argue taxes are voluntary or illegal. The courts have repeatedly rejected their arguments as frivolous and routinely impose financial penalties for raising such frivolous arguments. Take the time to learn the truth about frivolous tax arguments.

All Program and Emphasis Areas for Criminal Investigation Criminal Investigation has categorized their investigative cases into specific program and emphasis areas of fraud. Examples of case summaries written from public record documents where cases were prosecuted can be viewed on the various program and emphasis area web pages.

Tax Scams - How to Report Them To help the public recognize and avoid abusive tax schemes, the IRS offers an abundance of educational materials. Participating in an illegal scheme to avoid paying taxes can result in imprisonment and fines, as well as the repayment of taxes owed with penalties and interest. Education is the best way to avoid the pitfalls of these “too good to be true” tax scams.

Teen Longs For A Baby To Fill Her Broken Heart

Dear Divine Diva: am a girl who has had my heart broken for the first time. I know I should get over this boy, but I can't stop thinking about him. My mom loved him. We hung out every weekend for six months. I thought I might have been pregnant. I'm not -- but I want to be. I know I'm not ready to be a mom, but I want someone to love me and depend on me. I need someone who won't leave me. I know my baby wouldn't. Should I become a mom? How do I get over my boyfriend? Do I stop talking to him and just be his friend? DIVINE, tell me the right way. - Lovesick In The Bronx.

Dear Lovesick: Becoming a mother is not the way out of your heartache. Any young woman considering having a child must ask herself how she can provide financially and emotionally for that child. Most teenaged girls who become pregnant do not complete their high school education, and it has a negative impact on their ability to provide for themselves and their children. The right way to work through this breakup is to talk to your mother or another trusted adult about your feelings. Stop trying to maintain contact with your former boyfriend. To continue will only prolong your pain. Dedicate yourself to achieving the most you can for yourself in sports and academics. It will give you less time to brood, and the more you achieve the more sought-after you will become. It won't happen overnight. It will take time, concentration and dedication. If you take my advice you will come out of this disappointment a much happier person. But having a baby is not the answer. Always, Divine Diva

He Leaves me sitting at the table

Dear Divine Diva: My friend "Robert" knows everyone in town. It creates a huge distraction when we dine in a restaurant because he is constantly looking around to see who else he knows. When he spots someone, he leaves me sitting at the table to go and say hello to the person. If this happened once, it would be acceptable. But it occurs continually throughout the meal and interrupts our conversation. The fact that Robert is constantly scouting the room for others to greet makes meaningful conversation impossible because his mind is never fully present. I have reached the point of no longer wanting to dine with him although he is a good friend. How would you recommend resolving this? -- Alone At The Table, Long Isand

Dear Alone At The Table: Have an honest talk with Robert, and explain how his rudeness has made you feel. If his behavior continues, then socialize with him in places where there are no distractions -- like his home or yours. He may be insecure and feel a compulsion to ingratiate himself with others, but constantly leaving you alone at the table shows lack of consideration for your feelings. Also, I find it curious that all those people he knows do not come by your table to greet him -- and possibly be introduced, don't you? -Always, Divine Diva

Hangover healthy eating

-Courtesy of Nutritionist Resource o you went to a party, drank too much or just got carried away in front of Netflix with that bottle of wine - the feeling you get after overindulging can make you want to get into healthy mode as soon as possible. Below are some of the best tips on feeling fresh come Monday morning. Mood boosting foods to brighten your day You have a headache, you don’t want to eat and you want to hide in bed, never to face to world. Instead of wallowing, try some of the following:

Lemon water Fizzy drinks and that appealing cup of coffee won’t make you feel better. Try instead a cold glass of water with fresh lemon. Staying hydrated will make you feel 100% and the lemon will bring your metabolism back to life. Fresh smoothies If the idea of food repulses you, opt for a smoothie with loads of berries. The berries provide antioxidants, making you feel more awake and the natural sugars will provide you a lot more energy. Eggs Eggs and brown toast are a great start to the day when feeling sorry for yourself. Acetaldehyde is causing your hangover and eggs are high in amino acid, known to break down the horrible feeling. Bread releases carbs slowly; choosing brown or wholegrain is the better option for an energy boost rather than the fizzy drink you keep thinking about. The evening after your long day can still have you feeling strange and not wanting much food. While there have been recom-

mendations to not drink again for at least two days, new research has found that the body needs up to two weeks to recover fully.

Berries

Potassium Keep drinking water for the next few days. The aftermath of a heavy drinking session may leave you feeling weak, but it is important to keep eating healthily. Have a banana to boost your mood. Zinc You may start to feel a lot better, but your concentration may still be low. Zinc is brain enhancing and pumpkin seeds are rich in it. Snack on these or add them to your lunch. Orange juice is good to have after a day or two. If you drink it straight away, it will add to the work your liver is doing trying to get rid of all the alcohol. Vitamin C is important and great to introduce back into your diet the next morning. In terms of spicy food, it is advised to avoid any of these until your stomach is back to its full health. Chilli is great for boosting metabolism, like the orange juice, it is best to start eating spices a couple of days after the hard night.
