Then the near is not close. Because we hear rumours of war everyday. And then we also hear of islams causing more troubles everyday.
Do you mean islam will be no more before the end comes? Because with islams, there will be no global peace.

Health“eat Cockroaches For Protein” – Cnn Report by bloomstar(op):
According to CNN, Scientists have found that the Pacific Beetle Cockroach feeds its bug babies a formula which is remarkably rich in protein, fat and sugar.

Don’t expect to find it next to the regular milk in the dairy section, however, at least not for now.

“Any liquid harvested from a cockroach is not true milk. At least not as we think of it,” said Becky Facer, director of school and educator programs at Fernbank Museum of Natural History in Atlanta.

Most people would agree. After all, the insect liquid takes the form of protein crystals in the guts of baby cockroaches.

“The protein crystals are milk for the cockroach infant. It is important for its growth and development,” said Leonard Chavas, one of the scientists behind the research. He explained the crystals have a whopping three times the energy of an equivalent mass of buffalo milk, about four times the equivalent of cow’s milk.

The cockroach is one of the hardiest creatures on the planet; it can live for a month without food.
“The interest here was, what is it really made of?” said Chavas, one of the authors of the research, published in July in the journal International Union of Crystallography.

Chavas and his colleagues examined the species, also known as Diploptera punctata, which is the only species of cockroach known to be viviparous — able to bring forth live babies that have developed within the mother’s body, instead of the mother laying eggs to develop outside her body.

Like other viviparous creatures, this species of roach nourishes its growing embryos with a protein-rich liquid secreted by its brood sac — the roach version of a uterus.

Crystal cockroach milk.

Soon after the embryo ingests the liquid, protein crystals develop within its midgut. Chavas and his colleagues extracted one of these crystals to learn more about it and its potential nutrition. Following tests and even genome sequencing, they discovered it was a complete food.
“It is what one would need: protein, essential amino acids, lipids and sugars,” Chavas said, explaining that the energy content is so high that it helps infants within this unique species grow much bigger than cockroach babies of other species.

Though the crystal formation may seem surprising, other crystals, including insulin, take shape within the body for easier bodily storage — and it could have potential for human consumption, the research suggests.
So, how do you milk a cockroach?

The crystals are currently extracted from the midgut of cockroach embryos — perhaps not the most efficient way of feeding a growing world population.

Ultimately, however, Chavas and his team are hoping to reverse bioengineer cockroach milk, but first they need to understand the exact biological and chemical mechanisms underlying the process.

“For now, we are trying to understand how to control this phenomena in a much easier way, to bring it to mass production,” Chavas said.
Having lost a drinking game with his colleagues, Chavas tasted the cockroach milk once. “No particular taste,” he commented, though the idea of ice cream appeals to him. He imagines “a flavor with honey and crispy pieces.”
Laugh as you may, there is no irony lost on the fact that that this insect that can survive a nuclear disaster may someday provide the ultimate liquid superfood.

HealthThree Natural Steps To Whiten Your Teeth by bloomstar(op): 12:48am On Sep 21, 2018
HERE are multiple factors that cause teeth to become dull and lose their bright sparkle. Certain foods can stain your enamel (the outermost layer of your teeth).

Additionally, plaque build-up on your teeth can cause them to look yellow.

This type of discolouration can usually be treated with regular cleaning and white remedies.

Here are 3 simple ways you can naturally whiten your teeth:

1.Oil pulling

Oil pulling is a traditional Indian folk remedy meant to improve oral hygiene and remove toxins from the body. The practice involves swishing oil around in your mouth to remove bacteria, which can turn into plaque and cause your teeth to look yellow.

Traditionally, Indians used sunflower or sesame oil for oil pulling, but any oil such as coconut oil will work. Coconut oil has a pleasant taste and offers many additional health benefits.

To oil pull, put 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in your mouth and push and pull the oil through your teeth. Coconut oil is solid at room temperature, so you may need to wait a few seconds for it to melt. Continue the oil pulling for a full 15-20minutes.

Coconut oil pulling does not expose your teeth to acid or other ingredients that erode the enamel. This means it is safe to do daily.

2. Brush with baking soda

Baking soda has natural whitening properties. To use this remedy, mix 1 teaspoon of water and brush your teeth with the paste. You can do this a few times per week.

3. Use Hydrogen Peroxide

Hydrogen peroxide is a natural bleaching agent that also kills bacteria in your mouth. In fact, people have been using hydrogen peroxide for years to disinfect wounds because of its ability to kill bacteria.

One way to use hydrogen peroxide is as a mouthwash before you brush your teeth. Make sure you are using a 1.5 per cent or 3 per cent solution to avoid side effects.

Another way is to mix hydrogen peroxide with baking soda to make a toothpaste. Combine 2 teaspoons of hydrogen peroxide with 1 teaspoon of baking soda and gently brush your teeth with the mixture.

Limit the use of this homemade paste to a few times per week, as overuse can erode your tooth enamel.

Health8 Beauty Tips Every Woman Must Know by bloomstar(op):
Women love beauty tips and are always on the lookout for get-gorgeous tricks that will make your hair shinier and skin flawless. Here are the round up of some of the best beauty tricks every woman must know.

2) Sweet almond oil to remove lipstick

A long lasting lipstick is a bliss for a long working day, but the simple idea of removing it, hassles us. Take this simple tip for getting rid of it by simply drizzling some sweet almond oil over a cotton ball and dabbing it over your lips. Super cheap when compared to those expensive make up removers, this tip is a win-win for sure.

3) Buy non-condogenic products

There are a lot of things associated with teenage, which makes us nostalgic, acne is certainly not amongst that. Those tiny spots on your face are very disappointing and demoralizes you. Hiding and concealing them by makeup is the only recourse left. This temporary coping strategy can be disastrous in the long run. While buying makeup, especially when you have an oily skin, make sure you use a product which is non-condogenic. Non-condogenic products are less likely to irritate the skin or clog your pores. These products won’t cause blocked pores and prevent you from those irritating acne.

4) Vaseline for better eyebrow shaping

Eyebrows can sometimes behave awkwardly. You can tame your unruly eyebrows by just applying some Vaseline over it and then using your eyebrow brush for further shaping. And you are done!

5) Coconut hair massage before washing

Hair is one of the most appealing and at the same time experimented parts of a woman’s body. Curls, straightening and hair colour, our hair handles it all. With all that damage we cause them, nourishment of your hair becomes of paramount importance. A gentle massage with some coconut oil ten minutes prior to shampooing can add wonders to your hair. Make your hair enviable and lustrous by this simple effort.

6) Conduct patch test for hair colour

Hair colour contains a chemical substance called Paraphenylenediamine, which can cause allergy to some. For preventing yourself from that unnecessary reaction, it’s advised to conduct a patch test. Apply a patch of colour behind your ear and leave it for 24 hours to check if your skin is allergic to that product. Afterall, prevention is better than cure.

7) Don’t cut cuticles

While manicuring your hands, don’t ever cut those thin slivers called cuticles. Why? Those cuticles act as a seal of protection and if cut, it’ll leave you unfortified to bacteria or even infection. To prevent yourself from infection, push back your cuticles after taking bath, apply lotion and you are done.

cool Cleanse with cold water

Having a flawless skin is something every girl aspires for. For achieving that, hydrating your body from the inside out is indispensible. Cleanse your face at least twice every day with cold water. Avoid warn water as it opens the pores allowing dirt to enter into them. And don’t forget to drink at least eight glasses of water for keeping your skin smooth and radiant.

Last but not the least, always carry that curve called smile down your nose. After all, it’s the best make up a girl can wear.

Nairaland GeneralThe Only 6 Moves You Need For A Better But by bloomstar(op): 3:03am On Sep 03, 2018
If you’re looking for a booty-blasting routine, look no further,here is a six-move regimen. All you need is a mat and a resistance band to perform these challenging exercises. Watch the video and read below for descriptions on how to complete each round of your new favorite workout.

DONKEY KICKS
Get down on your hands and knees and make sure your hands are placed directly underneath your shoulders. Have your foot flexed and raise your bent leg up, and focus on squeezing your glutes. Do 10 reps on each side.

“One tip to keep in mind is you don’t want your back to be arched,” she said in the video. “You actually want your back to be flat, because that’s gonna help you focus only on engaging that glute.”

FIRE HYDRANT WITH RESISTANCE BANDS
Grab your resistance band and get in the same position as you were in for the donkey kicks. But instead of kicking up, you’ll be moving your leg out to the side. You can do this move without the resistance band, but it adds more of a challenge if you incorporate it. Be sure that your body is completely stable and you’re only moving your leg. Do 10 reps on each side.

SQUAT JUMPS
When you squat down, make sure your body is stabilized. Squat back like you’re sitting in a chair, keep your chest up and keep your arms out in front. Jump up and land back in that stable squat. At the peak of the move, point your toes so you can squeeze your quads and your glutes properly. Do this move 15 times.

Now, it’s time to take a quick break. Take 30 seconds to grab a drink, take a breath, and get ready to go through this circuit two more times.

RESISTANCE BAND LATERAL WALKS
With the resistance band around your thighs, start at one side of the mat and squat down. Keeping your chest up, step side to side. Push your knees out to keep them from bending inward. This isn’t performed in a full squat position–aim for a ¾ squat.

GLUTE BRIDGES
Make sure your back is flat to the ground as you raise up your glutes. Do 15 reps of these, and pause at the top during each rep. Try not to lift too high; you don’t want to engage your hips during glute bridges.

SIDE SQUAT WITH A KICKBACK
Take off the resistance band and start in a sumo position. Squat down to the side and keep your bent knee in line with your toes. Bring your leg back to center and kick it back. Perform 8 reps of those and then switch to the other side.

Complete this circuit three times. Your booty-blasting workout is done!
