The Facebook user who shared the story said it happened in Aba, Abia State. According to him; ‘Just happened now in 7UP, Aba. This cow jumped into this moving car carrying a man and his wife. Now you can see that Fayose’s action in passing and assenting to Anti Grazing Bill is in order. This system wherein cows roam about the major roads n streets in Nigeria is bad n must stop.

I love suyaaaa.. As if I knew I always love mixing it lot of vegetables |
A professor of Community and Public Health Nutrition has sounded a note of warning to Nigerians over the consumption of barbecued beef popularly called Suya. Consumers of barbecued beef popularly called “Suya” have been advised to always ensure that generous portions of onions, cabbage, tomatoes and other vegetables were eaten along with it. Suya is generally made with skewered beef, ram, or chicken. Innards such as kidney, liver and tripe are also used. The thinly sliced meat is marinated in various spices which include peanut cake, salt, vegetable oil and other flavourings, and then barbecued. Ngozi Nnam, Professor of Community and Public Health Nutrition at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, gave the advice in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Monday in Abuja. Ms. Nnam said that there was a link between its consumption and increased risk of cancer, noting that consumption of suya garnished with onions and other vegetables has a strong cancer-lowering effect. “Eating Suya can actually cause cancer. This comes from the reaction of meat and the smoke during Suya preparation which results in a toxic compound that can cause cancer. “Smoking of the meat is what causes cancer. Some metabolites from food can cause cancer. What is important is to eat a lot of fruits and vegetables to increase antioxidants in the body. “The antioxidants can neutralise or react with the toxic metabolite from food to prevent cancer,” she said. According to her, Suya is good to eat with onions and cabbage because they react with the toxic substance produced by smoke to prevent cancer. “It is good to eat Suya with onions and other fruits and vegetables.’’ The nutritionist, however, urged Nigerians to consume more of fish than beef. She said that the major benefit of eating beef was that it provided needed protein for the individual. “It is however healthier to eat fish than meat because some fish e.g. srumbia fish contain omega 6 fatty acid which is good for the body. “Omega 6 fatty acid is also very good for infants because it is required for proper brain development.’’ In addition, she warned against the consumption of smoked fish, saying “again the problem with smoked fish is the toxic substance produced by the smoke. “If we can grill it, it will be better than smoking it,’’ she advised. Ms. Nnam, also the President of Nutrition Society of Nigeria, said that the National Policy on Food and Nutrition has been implemented across the country. “ The National Policy on Food and Nutrition was launched during the Nutrition Week in September 2016 by the Wife of the President, Aisha Buhari. “After the launch, the policy has been domesticated and being implemented in different states of the federation. The Ministry of Budget and National Planning is overseeing this activity with state nutrition officers,’’ she said. The policy seeks to improve the nutritional status of all Nigerians, with particular emphasis on the most vulnerable groups including children, women, and the elderly.

#Trump President Donald Trump said on Saturday his executive order curbing immigration into the United States was not a ban on Muslims and was working out well. "It's not a Muslim ban," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office at the White House. "It's working out very nicely. You see it at the airports, you see it all over." The new Republican president on Friday put a four-month hold on allowing refugees into the United States and temporarily barred travelers from Syria and six other Muslim-majority countries. He said the moves would protect Americans from terrorism, in a swift and stern delivery on a campaign promise. "We're going to have a very, very strict ban and we're going to have extreme vetting, which we should have had in this country for many years," Trump said.

People who have had "a religious experience" often report feelings of joy, peace and warmth, and new research has found that during these experiences, certain reward centers in the brain are activated. The study found that, among devoutly religious people, spiritual feelings activate the same areas of the brain as other rewarding and pleasurable experiences, like love, sex and drugs. "We're just beginning to understand how the brain participates in experiences that believers interpret as spiritual, divine or transcendent," study co-author Dr. Jeff Anderson, a neuroradiologist at the University of Utah School of Medicine, said in a statement . "In the last few years, brain imaging technologies have matured in ways that are letting us approach questions that have been around for millennia." In the study, the researchers analyzed the brains of 19 devout Mormons in their 20s and 30s who had completed 1.5 to two years of missionary service for the Mormon Church. The participants spent an hour in a brain scanner, and were shown quotes and videos meant to evoke spiritual feelings. For example, participants were shown passages from the Book of Mormon as well as videos produced by the Mormon Church. They were also asked to pray in the scanner for 6 minutes. At several points during the session, participants were asked, "Are you feeling the spirit?" (This is a phrase used in the Mormon Church to refer to feelings of religious joy.) The responses ranged from "not feeling" to "very strongly feeling." The results showed that "feeling the spirit" was linked with activation of the nucleus accumbens, a brain region involved in processing feelings of reward . This activation peaked about 1 to 3 seconds before participants said they were experiencing peak spiritual feelings (which they indicated with the press of a button). Spiritual feelings were also linked with activation of a region called the medial prefrontal cortex, which is thought to be involved in judgment and moral reasoning, as well as activation of brain regions linked with increased attention and alertness. The researchers noted that more studies, including those that look at people from different religions and cultures, are needed in order to identify other brain regions linked with religious experiences For more visit us @ https://crownpaste..com.ng/2017/01/what-religious-experience-looks-like-in.html?m=1 |

Now help is at hand in the form of a Fitbit-style wristband that the inventors claim can identify when a woman is at her most fertile with almost 90 per cent accuracy. It is the subject of countless jokes and sitcom scenes – but knowing the best moment to leap into bed and try for a baby is a serious matter for many couples. Now help is at hand in the form of a Fitbit-style wristband that the inventors claim can identify when a woman is at her most fertile with almost 90 per cent accuracy. The Ava device recognises when a woman is about to ovulate by detecting subtle changes in her body, such as resting heart rate and skin temperature. The woman wears it while she sleeps, takes it off in the morning and sends the data to her phone. Its inventors believe the £199 gadget, which is due to be launched in Britain this week, will take the guesswork out of conception and replace the messy and inconvenient urine-test method that many women use to determine their best time to have sex. Dubbed the ‘fertility Fitbit’, the Ava looks like a watch. The device monitors nine variables which change slightly throughout the menstrual cycle. These include resting heart rate and skin temperature, which rise as the body prepares to release an egg. It also measures breathing rate, the length of sleep, and movement during sleep. Individually, each of these signals has limited value in determining if a woman is at her most fertile. But tracking them together means the wristband can identify this ‘window’ with surprising accuracy. A year-long study of 41 women, carried out at the University Hospital of Zurich in Switzerland, found it was 89 per cent accurate at predicting their most fertile five days of the month, as determined by hormone levels. Lea von Bidder, 26, president of Swiss-based firm Ava, said trying for a baby could be ‘a very stressful and frustrating experience’ for women. She claimed the Ava would allow them to ‘understand the signs their body is giving them’. But Professor Adam Balen, chairman of the British Fertility Society, questioned whether it would help. He said: “Sometimes these sorts of devices can just cause more stress by forcing people to have sex at a particular time, and that’s not really healthy.” Couples hoping to conceive should simply have lots of sex throughout a woman’s cycle, he added, as ‘fresh’ sperm was best at fertilising the egg. And he said: “If a woman has a regular cycle, her fertile days are predictable.” A new ‘hands-free’ breast pump is set to revolutionise the way new mothers feed their babies. The invention, which comes complete with Bluetooth wireless technology and its own mobile phone app, collects milk in a pouch that fits inside a maternity bra.......

Obama was seen storming away from the West Wing after staffers from Donald Trump’s transition team began preparing the executive offices for the new administration. On Trump’s orders, one of Obama’s most secretive rituals is being reversed and all signs of it removed from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. For the past 8 years, to appease Muslims working at or visiting the White House, silence has been ordered during the 5 times of Islamic prayer each day. In addition, prayer rugs and crescent moon symbols are available in several areas of the executive mansion to make Muslims more comfortable. The administration has defended the practice by asserting that it also observes several other religious moments of silence and prayer out of respect, including a full 15 seconds for Christianity on Sunday morning while a chaplain blesses a staff breakfast. Donald Trump End of Days The White House None of the prayers is mandatory or led by a government official, which has allowed the administration to subvert 1st Amendment issues, but the obvious favouritism towards Islam, which is observed for 25 minutes per day 7 days a week, tells a story this president has denied for 8 years. President Trump, who acknowledges that this country was founded by Christians and was built on Christian morals, is having all pagan symbols removed from the property unless they offer some historical significance. Only the cross in the White House chapel will remain for worship. Jim Mergernerlerny, head of the team that will transform the White House from the Obama’s home to the Trumps’ second home, told MSNBC: “Mr Trump doesn’t see the need to provide prayer rugs and false idols in a house built by Christians. Washington, DC offers a diverse cultural centre for the worship of any kind. You won’t find any special considerations for Judaism or crucifixes to appease Catholics, either. There is a simple chapel with a single cross on one wall that is suitable for prayer by anyone. Our government doesn’t need to be forcing prayer rituals down people’s throats just so we don’t “offend” apologising people looking to blow us up. Patriots around the U.S. can rest assured that apologising for our faith has come to an end.

Manchester United already have by far the biggest club stadium in England, but are reportedly seriously exploring the possibility offurther expanding Old Trafford’s current 76,000 capacity. #oldtrafford According to Daily Mail, extensive work has already been carried out on the famous stadium in the Premier League era, and now, there are further plans to push the capacity up to 88,000. Only Wembley Stadium, with a capacity of 90,000, is currently bigger in England, while an increase to 88,000 would see Old Trafford become second only to Barcelona’s iconic Camp Nou in terms of all club stadiums across Europe. It is suggested that work would begin by adding 7,500 seats to the Sir Bobby Charlton Stand on the south side of the stadium, currently the smallest of the four stands. Further work could then be carried out to fill in the quadrants in the two corners of the stand..

But the most noticeable change for the Mustang will be its new face. Designers sloped the car's nose down lower over the grill, a change that makes the front end appear longer. Also, new headlights are smaller and more intricately shaped. Overall, the reworked front end gives the Mustang more of a sleek "sports car" image and less of a blocky "muscle car" look. On the back end, new taillight lenses have a more complex angled shape than the simple vertical blocks on the current model. Inside, the new Mustang's gauge cluster will be all digital. Essentially, it will be a wide computer screen displaying customizable gauges that vary with each driving mode; Normal, Sport and Track. The 10-speed transmission will, of course, be an automatic. (Drivers won't have to shift through all those gears as they merge onto the highway.) It's a transmission Ford ( ) developed in cooperation with General Motors ( ). With increasing fuel economy demands, we can expect to see it used in more cars in the future. Generally speaking, more gears means more efficiency. On the other hand, more efficient use of engine power car can also mean better performance. The new transmission will be flexible enough to serve both needs, said Carl Wildmann, Ford's chief program engineer for the Mustang. For instance, the transmission won't always shift gears sequentially but will be able to quickly go from, say 10th gear right down to 6th gear if the driver punches the gas pedal for a burst of speed. With that many gears to choose from it should always be able to find the perfect one for any given driving situation, Wildmann said. The base transmission will still be a six speed manual but that also has been improved, according to Ford. The new Mustang will be available with either a 5.0-liter V8 or a 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The V8 engine will produce more horsepower than the same-sized engine in today's Mustang, Wildmann said. He isn't saying, yet, just how much more power........

By Bunmi George.. Ever heard about the mystical miracle plant or the plant referred to as ‘the tree of life’? These are the descriptions given to the remarkable Moringa plant as a result of its numerous health benefits. This mystical plant has been in existence for over hundreds of years. Who would have ever thought so? I never would have, until about a few years ago when I listened to an elderly man give so much praises to the plant. He called it God’s perfect gift to humanity and talked about how it had been therapeutically helpful in the treatment of a number of ailments ranging from diabetes to high blood pressure, gout, cancers and many more. I decided to read up on this mystical plant and its several health benefits and indeed, it’s a gift to humanity. Moringa is a relatively large tree that is native to North India. It goes by a variety of names, such as drumstick tree, horse radish tree, or ben oil tree. How amazing! Almost all parts of the tree are edible and can be used as ingredients in traditional/herbal medicines. The leaves and pods are commonly eaten in parts of India and Africa. Moringa which is botanically known as Moringa oleifera, is a popular plant known for its rich antioxidant property and its several bioactive content of plant compounds. So far, scientists have carried out various researches on the plant and have identified part of its many reputable health benefits. Below are a few health benefits of Moringa oleifera that are supported by scientific research. • Its high content of essential nutrients: Moringa leaves are an excellent source of nutrients including proteins, many vitamins and minerals such as vitamin B6, vitamin C, vitamin B2, vitamin A, magnesium, calcium, iron, copper, manganese, zinc and selenium. Iron alleviates anemia. Calcium is required for bone mineralization. Zinc plays a vital role in hair growth, spermatogenesis, and skin health. In western countries, dried leaves are sold as dietary supplements, in either powder or capsule form. 100 g of fresh leaves contain about 9.8 g of protein or about 17.5% of daily-required levels, as well as 7564 IU or 252% of daily-required levels of vitamin A. Dry, powdered leaves indeed are a much concentrated source of several quality amino acids. Compared to the leaves, the pods are generally lower in vitamins and minerals. However, they are exceptionally rich in vitamin C. One cup of fresh, sliced pods (100 grams) contains 157% of your daily requirement for vitamin C. The diets of people in developing nations sometimes lack vitamins, minerals and protein. Therefore, Moringa oleifera can be an important source of the many lacked essential nutrients. However, there is one downside. Moringa leaves may also contain high levels of substances that interfere with the absorption of minerals and protein. The amount of nutrient supply is negligible when Moringa is taken as a supplement, compared to when taken as a food-based diet. •Its ability to help lower Blood Sugar levels: High level of blood sugar is a major characteristic of diabetes and can pose great health risk. Over time, the high blood sugar becomes a debilitating factor to many other serious health problems, including stroke and heart disease. For this reason, it is important to keep blood sugar levels within healthy limits. Several studies have shown that Moringa may help lower blood sugar levels. Their effects are caused by plant compounds like isothiocyanates found in the Moringa leaves. • Its rich antioxidant property: Antioxidants are compounds that mop up free radicals in our bodies. High levels of free radicals bring about oxidative stress in the body, which may contribute to chronic diseases such as heart disease and type2 diabetes. Several antioxidant plant compounds have been found in the leaves of Moringa. In addition to vitamin C and vitamin A (beta-carotene), these include: Quercetin which is powerful antioxidant that helps to lower blood pressure. Chlorogenic acid which helps to manage blood sugar levels after meals. It is also found in high amounts in coffee. Moringa leaf extract may also be used as a food preservative. It increases the shelf life of meat by reducing oxidation. • Moringa may help to reduce inflammation: Inflammation is the body’s natural response to infection or injury. It occurs as a protective mechanism, but may become a major health issue when it persists for a long period of time. Prolonged inflammation is believed to be involved in many chronic diseases, including heart disease, diabetes and cancer. Many fruits, vegetables, herbs and spices have known anti-inflammatory effects and Moringa is one of them. Others may include turmeric and pomegranate. Moringa leaves, pods and seeds are the parts known to possess the anti-inflammatory property, which may be due to isothiocyanate compounds present in the plant However, the research so far has been limited to only test tube and animal studies. It has not been fully confirmed in human studies yet. • Its ability to help lower blood cholesterol: Moringa helps to lower cholesterol levels in the blood, which leads to a reduced risk of heart disease. High amounts of cholesterol in the blood have been linked to increased risk of heart diseases. Many plant foods can effectively reduce cholesterol. They include flaxseeds, oats and almonds, of which Moringa is not exempted. Moringa has been shown to possess similar cholesterol-lowering effects. • Its ability to protect against Arsenic toxicity: Arsenic contamination of food and water has posed a great treat to the health of inhabitants in many parts of the world. The symptoms of arsenic toxicity are usually not immediate upon exposure but the long-term exposure to it is what causes health problems over time. Rice may contain particularly high levels. Observed studies indicate that long-term exposure to arsenic increases the risk of cancer and heart disease. Moringa possesses the ability to protect against some effects of this arsenic toxicity. Several studies have been carried out and continuous studies are still on-going about this property of Moringa. Moringa indeed is a true gift to humanity, filled with several essential nutrients and compounds that. bring about its remarkable health benefits. It is advisable to key into the health benefit it provides. It can be purchased in the powdered form, extract, oil, capsule or even tea form, from any nearby supermarket that stocks organic products. # copied from guardian.ng For more healthful tips visit us daily at http://crownpaste..com.ng

A mouse has been given its freedom after it tackled a poisonous snake in a bid to save a fellow rodent at a zoo in China. The two mice were served up as a live dinner for the snake at Hangzhou Zoo in Zhejiang province, eastern China. Keeper Wen Shao said: "We always give the snakes live food and we put the two mice into the snake enclosure, but instead of trying to hide like they usually do one of the mice attacked the snake when it saw it trying to eat the other mouse. "I have never seen anything like that before, usually the mice keep as far away from the snake as possible but this one caused a lot of damage. "It was biting the snake on the head as the snake was trying to eat the first mouse." He added that the mouse had deserved its freedom after putting up such a brave fight.

US President Donald Trump on Monday signed a decree barring US federal funding for foreign NGOs that support abortion, relaunching a battle that has long divided Americans. It comes just two days after women led a massive protest march in Washington to defend their rights, including to abortion. The decision to ban foreign aid to groups that lobby in support of abortion rights is certain to deepen concern among already apprehensive US family planning and women’s rights organizations. Stenny Hoyer, a Democratic leader in the House of Representatives, sharply criticized Trump for using his first week in office “to attack women’s health.” “It should be no surprise to the millions of women and men who gathered in protest this weekend across the country –- and around the world –- that Republicans are focused more on making it harder for women to access health care than on the serious economic and security challenges we face.” The restrictions imposed Monday prohibit foreign nongovernmental organizations that receive US family planning assistance from using non-US funding to provide abortion services, information, counseling or referrals and from engaging in advocacy to promote abortion. They were first put in place in 1984 by Republican president Ronald Reagan. Later eliminated by Democratic president Bill Clinton, they were reinstalled by his Republican successor George W. Bush, and annulled again after Barack Obama took office. Galvanized by Trump’s November 8 election, abortion opponents in states where .......
