Sleep is a good remedy from stress and general fatigue. Relax your mind by taking a hot bath every night as the case may be and settle for a good book while waiting for sleep to do its job.


Cut calories from beverages
If you need a lot of calories, get them from solid food. Your liquid food should have as minimum calories as possible. Avoid having beverages frequently to reduce excess calories. Hence, you might have to deal with fat!


Be a better listener
Be patient and practice listening more than voicing your anxieties. Doing this makes you more patient and understanding. People will learn to respect your good listening skills by taking you serious when you speak. It also makes people trust you.

Forget the past
Dwelling about your past will never ease your burden of regrets. Learn from your mistakes and move on to work on a better present and happy future. Never cry for long over mistakes. Learn to dump mistakes and move on; becoming a better person.


Organize your desk
A disorganized desk at home, school or office reflects on how organized (or disorganized) you are in your workflow. Try to keep as few items as possible on your desk to increase your productivity and value.


Drink more water
Water boosts your metabolism, protects your spinal cord and increases your immunity. Some doctors suggest drinking eight glasses of water a day is sufficient but one should drink enough water suiting their lifestyles.


Get over your smartphone addiction
Learn to keep your eyes away from that addictive game or that unavoidable gossip on chat. Engage in physical interactions as that would help you enjoy both your real and virtual lives better. Don't let a machine rule your life!

Nonsense Country with greedy leaders

Throughout history, most of the world’s leaders, philosophers, and inventors have been men. Yet many things we know and love today were actually created by women.
Whether these items are fun or absolutely pivotal to our daily lives, inventions by women have contributed a lot to our way of living and helped to shape the course of human history. It’s awe-inspiring to sit back and think of the collective conscious thought that has been the totality of humanity and the contributions certain individuals have made to it.
Here are 10 extremely important things that were invented by women brought to you by factboyz





10. The Electric Refrigerator



For ages before the advent of the refrigerator, iceboxes were the customary way to keep foods cold and fresh at the appropriate temperature and away from microscopic life that might taint the food and make us sick. Iceboxes were shelving units into which snow was packed during the winter months. This required the grueling task of repeatedly gathering ice to keep your food cold.
But that all changed when Florence Parpart came onto the scene. Outside of some US government census data, we know little about Parpart. But we do have the patent records that show that she invented the refrigerator.
What was missing?
Electricity. She needed to design a way to effectively run an electric circuit through the refrigerator to keep it cool. And what could keep it cool? Gas.
Refrigerators work by turning various liquids into gases, such as Freon. Upon expanding into their gaseous form, they draw in heat from the outside and away from the food. The trick to having this work is making it a circuit of absorption and expansion of the gas in different compartments so that the liquid isn’t all absorbed and needs to be refilled again.
These liquids are called refrigerants. So next time you reach for that piece of Saint-Andre cheese, you can thank Florence Parpart for her pivotal contribution to our world.

9. The First Treatment For Leprosy


Leprosy causes discoloration of the skin in some places and has been a disease mentioned since the days of the original Holy Bible. It has plagued humanity for almost the entirety of its existence. It infects the skin, the brain, the mucous membranes, the eyes, the mouth, and the nose.
Leprosy is a tremendously difficult disease to treat. But some outbreaks have been stopped, and the disease has been contained for many people.
We can thank a woman named Alice Ball, who figured out the administration method for what would become the first effective treatment for leprosy. Chaulmoogra oil, an extract from the seeds of a tree, was only marginally effective at the time, but it could not be eaten without causing nausea and vomiting. Upon injection, the oil wouldn’t properly spread throughout the skin.
Instead, it would just lie in patches beneath the surface and not get to the entirety of the disease. This was highly ineffective. As a chemist, Ball came up with a way to isolate the fatty acids which made the chaulmoogra oil unable to properly spread. She created the first injectable version that did the job.




8. Windshield Wipers


No matter where it’s raining, windshield wipers have helped drivers to stay safe and see the road ahead of them clearly. This is all thanks to their invention by Mary Anderson. On November 10, 1903, Anderson filed the patent for a device that reached to the outside windows from inside the car and cleaned the glass in rain or snow.
It came to her in winter 1902 while watching trolley cars roll by. She realized that drivers had to stick their heads out of their car windows in snowy weather to be safe on the roads. And thus the windshield wiper idea was born.
The patent was issued, but not all was rosy for Mary Anderson. She tried to sell her idea to companies, particularly a Canadian firm. But she was told that her invention was useless. In fact, she never saw a dime from her creation.
She was issued a 17-year patent in 1903. It expired in 1920. However, when the US automobile industry took off, windshield wipers became a staple for drivers around the world as more people drove cars.


7. The One-Handed Syringe


The history of medical inventions has been rife with trial and error, which meant absolute horror or salvation in the life or death of a patient in need of medical attention. Over the centuries, many struggled to come up with the syringe we know and love today, but nobody could get it quite right.
Then, on February 12, 1896, Letitia Mumford Geer filed the first application for a patent on the one-handed syringe. Technically, many other syringes came before this, but none were as useful as the one-handed model. It was easily operable by both medical staff and patients, including diabetics who needed to self-administer insulin.
Although Geer’s invention has been modified to become the disposable syringe of today, her model helped to shape the future in how we get things into and out of our bodies.


6. COBOL


Common Business Oriented Language (COBOL) is a computer language which grew out of the 1959 Conference on Data Systems Languages. It was invented by Grace Hopper, a US Navy admiral who also developed a slew of information technologies for computers.
Hopper was instrumental in writing COBOL, which was put in motion by the Department of Defense and private firms with a very specific intention: universality. The goal was to make a computer language that could be used on various hardware systems that typically communicated in different languages. COBOL became the solution, a language that was easily transportable between manufacturers. It was also quite easy for computers to read.
Although COBOL was mostly phased out by the 1990s, it initially served as the language that allowed computers from different manufacturers to speak to one another with ease. COBOL served as a backbone of computing systems for decades until it was phased out for better, more updated models.




5. Wi-Fi


Actress Hedy Lamarr was considered as beautiful as she was intelligent. She had come to America to escape Nazi Germany and build a new life. Lamarr was destined for stardom and would share the stage with some of Hollywood’s biggest names and talent of the day.
But before her stardom in the States, Lamarr had worked with a composer to design a way for devices to reduce the signal issues in telecommunications during World War II. This design became fundamental in a lot of technologies, including Wi-Fi.
Lamarr’s frequency-hopping technology was given away for free to combat the Nazis. However, over the years, she watched it become the basis for cellular phone technology and plenty of other things. Sadly, she never received any money for her invention even though she held the patent. But her efforts likely saved many lives during the war.
She finally got some recognition for her invention about 50 years down the road with an award. Lamarr lived out the rest of her days in the US and died in Orlando at age 86.


4. Chocolate Chip Cookies


Every person enjoying a chocolate chip cookie can thank one person, Ruth Graves Wakefield, for putting it together one day. The best part is that it all came about by accident.
One day in 1930, Ruth wanted to whip up a batch of chocolate butter drop cookies. She went to place baker’s chocolate into the cookies she had assembled when she realized she was missing this key ingredient. She then took a regular chocolate bar, cut it into pieces, placed it into the cookies, and hoped that the chocolate would spread throughout the cookies equally when they baked.
She was absolutely wrong. But the cookies turned out to be a hit anyway. She was at the Toll House Inn and was a lecturer on fine food preparations. With an immediate audience who loved them, Toll House chocolate chip cookies were born. Enjoy!


3. Computer Software


Photo credit: Bruno Barral
Computer software was invented by a woman. Yes. All of it. Ada Lovelace was an Englishwoman who was born Augusta Ada Byron, the daughter of the poet Lord Byron. So it’s safe to say that she wasn’t exactly born into poverty and had the fortunate opportunity of a private education at her fingertips.
Later, she came up with a way that the Analytical Engine (the first computer) could be taught to calculate certain types of numbers. And thus computer software was born.
The first known computer language was called “Ada” after Ada Lovelace, and it’s still in use in many respects today. While it has been adapted, the fundamentals of Ada are still there and are in use in some programs today.


2. Electric Water Heater


Within the next few days, chances are good that you’ll take a nice, enjoyable, hot shower. The technology that made it all possible was invented in 1917 when Ida Forbes was officially awarded the patent for the first electric water heater. To this day, she’s still being thanked in advertisements and even on products with her original design on them. That’s how important hot showers are to us.
Electric water heaters went through years of manufacturing to become the staple product we know today—from small, portable models to midsize closet units to massive models for larger accommodations. In most developed nations, almost all water that isn’t used for cooking is heated with a descendant of one of these units.
Did you just get finished with a daily workout, or perhaps you’re going out to grab some sushi and are in need of a shower? Thank Ida Forbes for the invention that helped make sure that shower wasn’t a cold one.


1. Beer


Beer has had a long, strange, and interesting history. But whether you prefer an IPA or a deliciously dark stout, the long process that perfected that beer in your cup was originally carried out by women.
While it’s presumed that beer was “invented” by accident when attempts to make bread went awry over 10,000 years ago, beers that were intentionally made came about in the Fertile Crescent approximately 7,000–9,000 years ago.
Historians have pointed out that all of the beer-making and crafting was likely handled by women. In fact, it was only when medieval and modern Christianity came about that beer-making was done by men, usually, monks who decided to live on beer alone for months.
Nevertheless, throughout the ages, the recipes were crafted and perfected by anonymous women who painstakingly created the best beer they could for their communities. This makes a bit of sense considering that labor was divided among the sexes for centuries in many cultures.
So pour yourself a fine EPA, enjoy it, and imagine the countless hours of effort and entrepreneurship which have gone into crafting that perfect drink just for you.

As a Nigerian lady, I hope this list inspired you?

Carrying out a successful heist is no doubt a very hectic and difficult job. However, when the men of the underworld succeed in carrying out a successful robbery; there is a great relief from the criminals. Unfortunately, most of them end up being caught; while the ghostly among them vanish away to be lost forever. Factboyz brings to you the most successful bank robberies of all time. Enjoy the list.



1. Banco Central Burglary
Fortaleza, Brazil; 2005
Stolen: $70 million
After renting a commercial property in the middle of the city and posing as innocent business owners, the gang behind this enormous heist spent a whopping three months digging a 256-foot tunnel to a position beneath the bank. Then, over a weekend in August, they tunneled up through reinforced concrete into the vault of the Banco Central branch and managed to remove 3.5 tons of Brazilian real notes, much of which has never been recovered, even till today. In total, about 18 million US dollars were stolen.


2. Brink's-MAT Robbery
London, 1983
Stolen: £26 million ($41 million)
On an early morning in November, six robbers made their way into the Brink's-MAT warehouse at Heathrow Airport with help from a security guard who was in on the job. Their original plan involved taking just the £3 million in cash thought to be under lock and key, but that changed once they discovered an additional three tons of gold bullion and diamonds, significantly padding their planned payday. Several subsequent murders have been linked to the case, and while much of the gang involved has since been convicted, the gold has never been recovered.


3. Securitas Depot Robbery
Kent, UK; 2006
Stolen: £53.1 million ($83 million)
This brazen heist remains the largest cash robbery in British history and was executed with a more violent vision than most others on this list. After posing as police and kidnapping both the Securitas branch manager and his family, the heavily armed gang of thieves brought him to the depot where they then bound his 14 employees and forced him to open the cash cages. Most of the crew (which included one of the world's foremost cage fighters) was later caught and convicted, although at least one is said to be living off the loot as a free man in the West Indies.


4. Northern Bank Robbery
Belfast, UK; 2004
Stolen: £26.5 million ($41 million)
Days before Christmas, a gang of robbers posing as officials coaxed their way into the homes of two of the bank branch managers, holding them and their families at gunpoint. The following day, as their families remained under threat, the managers were instructed to head to work as normal, and told to let the robbers in at the end of business hours. Once they looted the place, the thieves released the families unharmed. Many have speculated that the whole thing was the work of the Provisional IRA or Sinn Fein, but as of today the crime remains unsolved.



5. Central Bank of Iraq Robbery
Baghdad, Iraq; 2003
Stolen: Over $920 million
Considered the biggest bank heist in history, this bold theft was allegedly ordered directly by Saddam Hussein himself just days before the American invasion. Reports suggest that following the crime, a note signed by Hussein surfaced, instructing that $920 million be withdrawn by the bank and given it to his son Qusay, who reportedly spent the better part of five hours with another unknown individual loading the heaps of money into vehicles to an undisclosed location. Today, it's unclear how much of the total missing cash has been recovered, but it's believed that at least $650 million was discovered in one of Hussein's palaces during a raid.



6. British Bank of The Middle East's Robbery
Beirut, Lebanon; 1976
Stolen: $20-50 million
In the heat of Lebanon's civil war, a group associated with the Palestinian Liberation Organization blasted through the bank's walls through a church next door and hired a crack team of locksmiths to bust open the vault. Once finished, they reportedly walked away with up to $50 million worth of gold, cash, stocks, and jewels.


7. The Knightsbridge Vault Robbery
London; 1987
Stolen: £62 million ($97 million)
Perpetrated by Italian playboy and career criminal Valerio Viccei—who was implicated in over 50 different bank robberies during his lifetime—the execution of this operation was surprisingly simple. After entering the bank during business hours under the guise of opening a safety deposit box, he and his armed accomplice "subdued" the manager and security guards, freeing them up to let in more accomplices to help bust open as much of the vault as possible. Eventually, they walked out with at least £62 million in cash, jewelry, and other valuables. Viccei enjoyed a brief period of freedom by fleeing to South America, only to be intercepted by British authorities and jailed when he came back to visit England in order to retrieve and ship his Ferrari Testarossa.


8. Dar Es Salaam Bank Heist

Baghdad, Iraq; 2007
Stolen: $282 million
While many of the details related to this major robbery of mostly American cash remain shrouded in mystery, the Iraqi Interior Minister did reveal that the whole heist was engineered by a pair of guards who worked for the bank and were allegedly connected to militias roaming the region back in 2007.


9. The Great Train Robbery
Buckinghamshire, UK; 1963
Stolen: £.2.6 million ($4.1 million)
This finely orchestrated operation to intercept a Royal Mail train full of high-value packages (en route from Glasgow) was devised over the course of several months. A gang of 15 robbers hatched and executed the now-legendary plan, which involved rigging the trackside signals to stop the train in a remote location, where the conductor was overpowered and the loot was stolen. Unsurprisingly, it's served as the inspiration for a whole crop of films and books since.


10. Dunbar Armored Robbery
Los Angeles; 1997
Stolen: $18.9 million
The largest cash robbery to have ever occurred in the US also happened to be an inside job. The mastermind was a regional safety inspector for Dunbar who recruited five of his childhood friends to ambush the guards at a stocked cash drop vault on a Friday night. Once they gained access to the loot, they loaded up a U-Haul and escaped, nearly getting away with the whole thing until one of the perpetrators got sloppy and eventually confessed. However, to this day, more than half of the money remains unaccounted for.

Snakes are indeed reptiles you definitely do not want to be friends with. This is due to the undeniable fact about the danger of being bitten by a deadly venomous snake. Though some snakes are indeed deadly and bites from them are highly fatal; there are some that are totally harmless. has compiled a list of top ten harmless snakes you can keep as pets. Enjoy!



1. California Kingsnake: ​California kingsnakes (Lampropeltis getula californiae) are considered kings because of their capability to kill and eat rattlesnakes and other snakes. In the wild, these snakes are known to eat other animals including venomous snakes, small rodents, lizards, birds, and even bird eggs. They are considered harmless to humans, but if handled it is common for this species to bite, as well as excrete musk and fecal contents from their cloaca, howver when disturbed, they often coil their bodies to hide their heads, hiss, and rattle their tails, which can produce a sound somewhat resembling that of a rattlesnake.


2. Ball Pythons: (Python regius) are known to curl like a ball; hence the name "ball python" Ball pythons are known to be wonderful pets as they can be easily handled. They are not known to be aggresive and bites from them are extremely rare. Ball Pythons can live for 30 years and the oldest one recorded was 48 years old when it died, so deciding to get a ball python really is a life long commitment!


3. Rosy Boa: The rosy boa (Lichanura trivirgata), this snake doesnt get too large growing to about 4 feet in length when fully grown, though average sizes are 2 to 3 feet in length. These snakes are reputed to be able to live for up to 25 years plus. Definitely a commitment!


4. Corn Snake: Before the ball python captured the imagination of snake lovers, the corn snake (Pantherophis guttata) was the most popular pet snake available. They are fairly docile, easy to handle and care for, Corn snakes are still one of the most popular pet snakes because of their demeanor, availability, and their color combinations. They are not known to grow big, so a big enclosure might not be needed.


5. Milk Snake: This non-venomous snake looks very similar to the poisonous Coral Snake because of the dark and light patches on its body. The light stripes may be red, yellow or orange making it a very distinct looking snake. These snakes are found in North and Central America in mountainous regions and eat earthworms, insects, and slugs. It is a very remarkable snake.
