of course.... it's a known fact..

James Rodriguez has been voted the
sexiest man of 2014 following his World
Cup heroics and estimated €80 million
transfer to Real Madrid.
People En Espanol magazine awarded
the title to the Colombia superstar, who
recently launched his own range of branded underpants, after going from
promising talent to global superstar overnight by grabbing the Golden Boot
in Brazil this summer.
James' wife insisted that his personality is what makes the attacking
midfielder so alluring, not necessarily his boyish good looks - though it
probably also helps that he earns more in a week than most people on the
planet earn in a year!
"He's a very attractive man," Daniela Ospina said. "But what I most like is
the way he is, his personality. It's what I really love."
Meanwhile, James' mother insists that fame has not gone to the 23-year-
old's head and that he remains humble about his talent on the football
pitch.
"He is still the same," Maria del Pilar Rubio added. "What characterises him
most is his humility, "
Past winners of the English language version of the award include
Hollywood actors Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Johnny Depp, Matt Damon
and Ryan Reynolds.
The 'sexiest man on the planet' tag now gives James bragging rights in
the Santiago Bernabeu dressing room over Cristiano Ronaldo, although the
new Madrid player still has some way to be considered hotter than his
Ballon d'Or-winning team-mate on the pitch.

Not getting a good night's sleep might be linked to shrinkage
of the brain's gray matter over time, new research suggests.
Faster deterioration of three parts of the brain was seen in mostly
older adults who had poor sleep quality, though not necessarily too
little sleep. Sleep difficulties included having trouble falling asleep,
waking up during the night or waking up too early.
However, it isn't clear whether poor sleep causes the changes in the
brain, whether a shrinking brain causes poor sleep, or whether a bit of
both is occurring.
"We spend roughly a third of our lives asleep, and sleep has been
proposed to be 'the brain's housekeeper', serving to restore and repair
the brain," said lead researcher Claire Sexton, a postdoctoral research
assistant at the University of Oxford in England.
"It follows that if sleep is disrupted, then processes that help restore
and repair the brain are interrupted and may be less effective, leading
to greater rates of decline in brain volume," she explained.
But it's just as likely, she said, that the deterioration in the brain also
contributes to difficulty sleeping.
"It may be that greater rates of decline in brain volumes make it more
difficult for a person to get a good night's sleep," said Sexton, adding
she suspects the problems run in both directions.
Studying sleep and brain shrinkage
While a visiting research fellow at the University of Oslo, Norway,
Sexton and her fellow researchers gave brain scans to 147 Norwegian
adults, average age 54, at the study's start and an average of 3.5
years later.
At the time of the second scan, the adults also filled out
questionnaires about their sleep quality, including how long and how
well they slept, how long it took to fall asleep, how much time in bed
was spent actually asleep, how often they woke up, how sleepy they
were during the day and whether they used sleeping medications.
Participants took an average of 20 minutes to fall asleep and slept an
average of seven hours a night, the researchers found.
After making adjustments for differences in the participants' physical
activity, weight and blood pressure – which have been shown to
affect sleep quality – the researchers compared changes in
participants' brain scans and reported their findings online in
Neurology.
In those with poor sleep quality, the researchers saw shrinkage in one
part of their frontal cortex and some atrophy, or deterioration,
throughout three other parts of the brain, including parts involved with
reasoning, planning, memory and problem-solving.
Does poor sleep affect memory and thinking skills?
The study didn't test participants' thinking skills, so it couldn't prove
that poor sleep or brain shrinkage was linked to poor memory or
difficulty thinking. However, past research has found links between
declining memory and decreases in brain volume.
"We often correlate brain shrinkage with losing brain tissue, and
assume that that isn't advantageous as you get older," said Anton
Porsteinsson, director of Alzheimer's disease care, research and
education at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and
Dentistry in New York.
"Sleep disturbance is such a common symptom among the general
population, and it often becomes worse as you age," he said. "There
is growing data to suggest that sleep disturbance may be a risk factor
for poor outcomes in terms of brain cells and other medical issues as
well."
The correlation was only with poor quality of sleep, not shorter sleep.
The reduced brain size in poor sleepers was seen across all ages, but
the correlation was stronger among adults over 60, the study found.
Good sleep is important
"What this study signals to me is that [good bedtime habits] and good
sleep matters," Porsteinsson said. "Whether that has to be natural
sleep or whether we can use medications to enhance sleep has not
been answered, but it's probably best to improve your natural sleep
patterns."
Sexton made several suggestions for those hoping for better sleep.
Besides talking to a doctor about sleep problems, she recommended
having a bedtime routine and going to bed at the same time each
night.
Other tips include removing gadgets such as Smartphones and tablets
from the bedroom, not checking emails right before sleep, being
physically active during the day, avoiding caffeine late in the day and
spending time outside in the sunlight each day.

Sahara Reporters: I’m just wondering, you said you have some proof
about why they should arrest President Jonathan. Do you mind telling
us just few of the reasons why he should be arrested and locked up?
Hon. Aliyu: One, as I said, if President Bashir of Sudan would be
sought after for war against humanity, we have evidence of
photographs of military personnel slaughtering people alleged to Boko
Haram. We have them. I have, I brought them here to US.
Sahara Reporters: So you think the President knows about it?
Hon. Aliyu: Absolutely! He is the Commander in Chief of the Armed
Forces of Nigeria. And in all his setting up of committees, we have not
heard him setting up committee to investigate those kind of extra
judicial killings. Or the killing in Zaria, or the attempted murder of
General Buhari, or the attempted murder of late Emir of Kano, or the
attempted murder of the Sheu of Bornu, or the mother of Japhat. So
many people were killed and nothing happened and we have
documented evidence against the armed forces and some security
personnel that he is leading. That’s one.
Then two, we also have evidence of Mr. President colluding with
alleged Boko Haram sponsors. Anybody who is running from, I mean
people that are financing Boko Haram run to him and he works with
them. We have this evidence which I hope before he leaves here,
Obama will grant my request and order the arrest of Jonathan
Goodluck.
Sahara Reporters: Who are some of the people that you think are
funding Boko Haram?
Hon. Aliyu: Jonathan Goodluck is number one and his cohorts. The
evidence I will show when I’m called open.
Sahara Reporters: But with everything going on in Washington, you
are also here but you stand as opposition member though. Who
sponsored your trip here?
Hon. Aliyu: I sponsored myself. I own a furniture factory, one of the
largest furniture factories in the Northern part of the country. I have
had it for last 25 years before I joined politics. I am not a poor man. I
can afford to travel first class, stay in five star hotel. I could afford to
do this thing for a very long time. I sponsor myself here.
Sahara Reporters: And you came just to make sure they arrest
President Jonathan?
Hon. Aliyu: Nods.
Sahara Reporters: Why was he not arrested in Nigeria? Why is it that
America has to do it?
Hon. Aliyu: Because he has immunity and American government went
to arrest Noruega from Nikaragua so it is for them now, he is here. So
let them just arrest him here and you know in Nigeria, you can’t even
arrest a governor in Nigeria, they have immunity but in America, they
have no immunity. And I hope, I pray they will arrest him.
Sahara Reporters: And you want him jailed here or taken back to
Nigeria to be tried?
Hon: Aliyu: Well, I will want him to be jailed anywhere. First of all, I
would want him to be tried, and if he is found not guilty, he should be
acquitted and discharged. But if he is found guilty, I would want him to
spend the prison term in Kirikiri in Nigeria.
Sahara Reporters: And what would be your strategy in dealing with
boko haram?
Hon. Aliyu: First of all, insincerity of purpose. The committees upon
committees that the government has set up on Boko Haram, what are
they doing with the report? If nobody from Bornu State, has been
arrested today- nobody like from when the crisis started to date, we
have no people that are in prison today.
The strategy is one, to deal decisively with the sponsors. Because the
Nigerian security agencies know the sponsors of Boko Haram, they
know them. Even we also know them and those
Sahara Reporters: Cuts in. But you are not mentioning…
Hon. Aliyu: Yes I’m not mentioning it now that’s what I’m saying. If
they arrest Jonathan Goodluck because he is number one, then other
names would follow. When he is arrested then we come up with the
names that we know which he knows, they know, the security
agencies know but up till now none of them is arrested; nobody is
prosecuted for that. Only the foot soldiers, at least foot soldiers. Some
are massacred, some are with them, some they would arrange some
caricature riot in SSS headquarters and kill them because they don’t
want us to know; because, look we as Nigerians need to know.
If they arrest one person, they should tell us what he did, we need to
know. But they don’t tell you. Recently they repriarated somebody
from Sudan and probably that is the last you will hear of him, I’m
telling you. This is Nigeria; that is the last you will hear of him. They
would not come and tell us exactly what has happened to him. So
that is what we are saying. If Jonathan is brought to trial, we shall
bring up all those evidences and probably the SSS, the military
intelligence will be made to come and give their evidence.
Sahara Reporters: Are you saying that Jonathan knows the sponsors
and he is refusing to prosecute them? What do you think he has to
gain from doing that?
Hon. Aliyu: It is very convenient for Jonathan Goodluck for this Boko
Haram to continue.
One, it will disenfranchise Northern part of the country where he have
the largest number of votes from the country. Is it not, what a
coincidence that all these issues are happening in opposition states?
Kano was bombed eight times within the last one month. Eight times!
So many places were bombed in Kano.
In Yobe, Adamawa and Bornu, of course the headquarters of bombing.
So these are the kind of things because with crisis, who will even
come to vote? Would you come out to vote and be killed? That’s is
why I have honestly sacrifice my life because in Nigeria if you don’t
come out to struggle, you will either be killed at the filling station or
you will be killed on the road or you will be killed in the motor park or
passing the road. So you better come out and speak. You speak out.
If they kill you, so be it.
In any case, we are mortals. Somehow, you will die. So if anybody
thinks probably by killing me, God bless him. Personally, I’ve
sacrificed my life. I am willing to die for my country. If coming out to
say the truth will mean me being eliminated, so be it probably those
coming behind me will enjoy.
Sahara Reporters: I was going to say that it is not just the opposition
state thou because Kaduna was also under attack. Bauchi has been
attacked and Gombe.
Hon. Aliyu: Cuts in. That is true but then when you come to the whole
picture, all this thing is happening in the Northern part of the country
where you have the largest number of votes. So you find out that look,
when they tell you, in fact I’m even wondering how we can come out
campaigning these days because we will be scared in the Northern
part of the country.
Today, my party had large gathering in Osun, Oshogbo, but that kind
of gathering cannot happen in Kano or Kaduna because you will be
scared. You don’t know what will happen to you. So the government
is deliberately instilling fear in the electorates. So it is very convenient
for Jonathan not to fight Boko Haram or any terror for that matter in
Northern part of the country.
Sahara Reporters: But a lot of Nigerians believe that it is people that
don’t like Jonathan that are behind Boko Haram in order to discredit
his government. You are saying otherwise.
Hon. Aliyu: You know that is stupid, nonsense. Because how can you
arrange for you to kill yourself? How? So if anybody is trying to
discredit Jonathan, they should take the fight to Bayelsa where he
comes from. No! It’s got nothing to do with him. We don’t hate
Jonathan. He is my President today. As at today, he is the President
of the Federal Republic of Nigeria but I want him arrested so that there
will be peace in Nigeria. With him continuing as President of Nigeria,
Nigeria will know no peace because he is clueless, he has no idea, I
mean it is very convenient, the only idea he has, how do I continue to
make sure there is trouble in Northern part of the country.
You see and fortunately for him, he doesn’t know that look, the Boko
Haram crisis that started in Bornu, which the government sees it as
North East problem started coming to North West, Abuja. If care is not
taken, it will go to Bayelsa because this is a national problem; it is not
a Northern problem. So the earlier Mr President sees it as our problem,
collectively, not because of his election, you know the better.
So if he thinks he disenfranchises the Northerners from voting next
year so that he can have the votes from his part of the country, well
may God bless him, I hope we will all be alive to see that kind of thing
happens.
Sahara Reporters: You are already here. So do you have an
appointment to speak with President Obama? Or what is the game
plan to get President Jonathan arrested?
Hon. Aliyu: Well, I’m looking for appointment to see him and I hope I
would see Obama if by today or tomorrow, at least before Jonathan
leaves. If I don’t get to see him, I will drop my letter in the White
House so that even if they don’t arrest him now, anytime Jonathan is
out of Nigeria, American government probably with the aid of UN
arrest him.
Sahara Reporters: Not to undermine what you are trying to do but to
be honest, do you think that America really, that they don’t know what
is going on in Nigeria? Are you confident that your letter is what they
are waiting for or your meeting with Obama is what they are waiting
for? Like do you think they don’t know what is going on right now? Or
do you think they are knowingly turning blind eye?
Hon. Aliyu: Well, we think they are feeling ignorance, so if they are
feeling ignorance, we will remind them. I will tell them that look true
true people are dying in Nigeria and we are reminding you that a bomb
was planted at UN building in Abuja. We are also reminding you eight
bombs were detonated in Kano last week. There was an attempted
murder on the life of General Buhari, Dahiru Bauchi, El-Zakzaky 30
supporters and his three children were killed, alleged boko haram
members are being slaughtered by the military and so on and so fault.
So many people are kidnapped. The Chibok girls which the American
first lady also came out to say bring back our girls, that look its
happening and they are doing nothing about it.
Sahara Reporters: But this same America was just in Nigeria to
investigate, you know they came out and they said they didn’t find
anything.
Hon. Aliyu: Well, you see, what I’m saying it is also very convenient
for America to allow him to walk for now. But they will also tell the
Americans that if America’s interest is oil in Nigeria and the crisis in
the North East can also affect the oil, the production of oil. So I want
to remind Americans the earlier they intervene in arresting this man,
the better for its America’s interest as well so that there will be peace
and tranquillity in Nigeria. So that there will be good governance in
Nigeria.
And they (America) prophesise good governance every day; Obama,
keep saying America values and so on they don’t agree with torture
and so on so the number one torturer of people in Nigeria is in
America. Let them arrest him.
Mine is one man riot squad, I know nobody in America, I don’t know
anybody to mobilize. But I can bring myself here; I brought myself, I’m
an elite where I come from in Nigeria, so I’m here on my own to also
have a one man riot squad against President Jonathan Goodluck.
Sahara Reporters: What if America doesn’t show interest in what you
stand for?
Hon. Aliyu: Well, that does not mean we shall not keep fighting. We
will fight and fight. If Obama does not show interest, one day someday
another America President will come, and in the interest of the America
people also, you know in the economic interest of the America people,
they will rise up against any government of Jonathan leading the most
populated African Black Country in the world.
If there is crisis in Nigeria, imagine refugees from the Northern part of
the country, flowing into Chad, Cameroons, Niger, there will be no
peace in the whole of Western Africa.
Sahara Reporters: Thank you so much.

benromeo39: awon futarians.

Yes oo...

proud to be dark

kendrick93: messi,suarez,gerratd,pirlo,etc imo are beter especially pirlo and messi. when i mean specialist,it means ability to apply curve/spin on d ball. ronaldo is mostly about shot power

ojofu: A keeper will wait for ball to be hit first before diving but some do dive for the ball if they know the direction the player will kick the ball to, for example casillas did this against chile in 2010 because he knew where sanchez will put the ball after being notified by reina, . I did not say that they should have jump before the ball was kicked but can make their decision to jump or not after the ball had been kicked. Note this, everything in football happens in split second, that is why they need total concentration.

so except from pirlo, which of this guys has scored half the number of freekicks cr7 has scored...

EMINEM gave kanye,drake,lil and the lyks tym to catch up wif him..they just couldn't..then kamz back to school them
