Crime / Nigerian Man Who Fled Boko Haram Beaten To Death In Italy Defending His Wife by BomboyOnline: 11:30pm On Jul 07, 2016 |
A Nigerian man who had recently fled to Europe to escape Boko Haram militants was beaten to death on the streets of Italy this week as he tried to defend his wife against racist abuse. Emmanuel Chidi Namdi, 36, and his wife Chimiary, 24, were walking through the northern Italian town of Fermo on Tuesday when a man called Chimiary a “monkey” and tried to grab her, according to local priest Vinicio Albanesi, a friend of the couple. Namdi intervened, and the resulting fight left him in a coma. He was pronounced dead on Wednesday. Amedeo Mancini, a 38-year-old Italian man who is part of an “ultras” gang of extremist soccer fans, was arrested Thursday on suspicion of killing Namdi. Mancini told investigators that he’d insulted the couple because he thought they were stealing a car, and he claimed that he’d acted in self defense after Namdi attacked him, HuffPost Italy reported. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/nigerian-refugee-killed-italy-emmanuel-chidi-namdi_us_577e9e10e4b0c590f7e8702f

Science/Technology / Re: Look At This Dolphin That Was Caught And Killed In Delta State by BomboyOnline: 4:48pm On Jul 06, 2016 |
[size=14pt]The dangers of eating dolphin meat[/size] Eating dolphin meat may seem abhorrent to most Americans, but many cultures around the world include marine mammals in their diets. For instance, people on the tropical island of St. Vincent in the Caribbean can legally hunt and eat dolphins. But these culinary traditions have a health downside: The meat and blubber contain high levels of mercury, which can contribute to disorders ranging from memory loss to seizures. Much of the mercury pollution in the ocean comes from gold mining. Once in the water, it can be converted to another chemical called methylmercury. Small organisms ingest the mercury and methylmercury; when predators eat those animals, they accumulate even higher levels of the toxic compounds. Because marine mammals are near the top of the food chain, they often carry the most mercury in their tissues. Researchers studied dolphin consumption in St. Vincent, where about two-thirds of the residents eat marine mammal meat. The team members analyzed meat and blubber from 28 spinner dolphins and 11 Atlantic spotted dolphins that had been caught near the island. They also tested processed unidentified cetacean meat, probably from dolphins or pilot whales, from a market. People usually process the meat by cutting it into pieces and drying it to make a beef jerky-like snack. The fresh, unprocessed tissue contained an average of 0.92 to 1.57 micrograms of mercury per gram, the researchers report in Marine Pollution Bulletin. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration considers 1 microgram per gram to be the “action level” at which authorities could advise people to cut down on seafood consumption. And the processed meat was far worse — it contained an average of 7.59 micrograms of mercury and 6.05 micrograms of methylmercury per gram of tissue. The results suggest that dolphin meat could pose a health risk to the people of St. Vincent, the team suggests. If public health officials advise residents to eat less of it, dolphin populations could benefit — but managers will need to make sure that substituting other meats doesn’t create another conservation problem. — Roberta Kwok | 6 November 2014 Source: Fielding, R. and D.W.

WOW, the comments here are unbelievable. When you say CO, I take it you mean Caucasian Ovcharka. It is a big dog, the waste will be much. Please stop flogging your dog, I can guarantee you the dog does not know why you are flogging it. Do not reduce its food. I don't think there is medicine that will reduce the waste per say, there are some that will break it down or liquefy it. I prefer solid waste though cause it is easier to clean. 1 Like |

The peak of this geyser can also be glimpsed at several points in the video, and at the 1:17 mark viewers can actually see the height of the geyser briefly change: <iframe src="http://gifs.com/embed/2kQ26A" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" width="270px" height="360px" style="margin: 0 auto; -webkit-backface-visibility: hidden;-webkit-transform: scale(1);" ></iframe> |

The first clue is that a central water column can be periodically glimpsed throughout the video. The water is erupting from a hole in the ground and then falling back to the ground: 3 Likes
