At least 19 people have been stung to death by hornets -- which may include the world's largest hornet species Vespa mandarinia -- in China's central Shaanxi province in the last three months, according to the city government of Ankang, the apparent epicenter of a recent spate of fatalities and injuries.

A total of 583 people in the area have been stung by hornets since July 1, say city officials. Seventy victims are still recovering in hospitals.

Chen Changlin was hospitalized after being attacked by hornets, while harvesting rice last week.

"I ran and shouted for help, but the hornets chased me about 200 meters, and stung me for more than 3 minutes," he recounted to the state-run China Youth Daily.

Chen said hornets had first swarmed a woman and child working nearby, who then ran towards him. Both later died from the hornets' toxins.

"The more you run, the more they want to chase you," said another victim, whose kidneys were ravaged by the venom. When he was admitted to the hospital, his urine was the color of soy sauce, according to local reports.

Earlier this month, 30 people -- including 23 primary school children aged between six and eight years -- were injured in a hornet attack in Guangxi province, south of Shaanxi. Their teacher, Li Zhiqiang, told his students to hide under tables as he tried to drive away the insects before he lost consciousness. The school's headmaster told local media that most of the injured suffered stings to their heads, necks, hands and feet.

Nearly 60 students and teachers were injured in a separate incident in the province at the start of the month, according to state media.

Experts say a number of reasons may have contributed to the apparent increase in hornet activity, including the region's recent hot, dry weather, land development and hornet sensitivity to the smell of people.

The Asian killer hornet, which is suspected in these incidents, are formidable, carnivorous killers, according to the non-profit Honeybee Conservancy. The species feed their young with the larvae of other insects and use their talons and mandibles to sever the limbs and heads of their prey. The hornet's venom sting is a neurotoxin so powerful that it dissolves human tissue, according to the Guinness Book of World Records.

This week's latest incidents spurred the Ankang city government to hold an emergency video call addressing local concerns. Vice Mayor Lu Qi said he would increase investment in regional hornet control. Mayor Xu Qifang added the city would establish a 24-hour emergency hornet response team.

Watching her eyes
"A little boy asked his mother, "Why are
you crying?" "Because I'm a woman , " she
told him.
"I don't understand , " he said. His Mom
just hugged him and said , "And you never
will."
Later the little boy asked his father , "Why
does mother seem to cry for no reason?"
"All women cry for no reason , " was all his
dad could say.
The little boy grew up and became a man ,
still wondering why women cry...
Finally he put in a call to God. When God
got on the phone , he asked , "God , why
do women cry so easily?"
God said
"When I made the woman she had to be
special.
I made her shoulders strong enough to
carry the weight of the world, yet gentle
enough to give comfort.
I gave her an inner strength to endure
childbirth and the rejection that many
times comes from her children.
I gave her a hardness that allows her to
keep going when everyone else gives up ,
and take care of her family through
sickness and fatigue without complaining.
I gave her the sensitivity to love her
children under any and all circumstances ,
even when her child has hurt her very
badly.
I gave her strength to carry her husband
through his faults and fashioned her from
his rib to protect his heart.
I gave her wisdom to know that a good
husband never hurts his wife , but
sometimes tests her strengths and her
resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly.
And finally , I gave her a tear to shed. This
is hers exclusively to use whenever it is
needed."
"You see my son , " said God , "the beauty
of a woman is not in the clothes she
wears , the figure that she carries , or the
way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen in
her eyes , because that is the doorway to
her heart - the place where love resides."

Kamsy10: abeg all you grammar people ended up in nairaland while she's in aso rock. Is English your mother tongue? I have no problem with whether she can speak English or not. Infact if I were her I will speak in my native dialect and have an interpreter.
Sadly she and her husband are not living up to d expectation of Nigerians but that doesn't call for putting a premium on grammar

* THE PARROT *
.
A woman went to a pet shop and immediately
spotted a large beautiful parrot. There was a
sign on the cage that said $50.00. "Why so
little,?" she asked the pet store owner. The owner looked at her and said, "Look, I
should tell you first that this bird used to live
in a house of prostitution, and sometimes it
says some pretty vulgar stuff."
The woman thought about this, but decided
she had to have the bird anyway. She took it home and hung the bird's cage up in her living
room and waited for it to say something.
The bird looked around the room,then at her,
and said, "New house, new madam." The
woman was a bit shocked at the implication,
but then thought "that's not so bad." When her two teenage daughters returned
from school
the bird saw them and said, "New house, new
madam, new girls."
The girls and the woman were a bit offended
but then began to laugh about the situation. Moments later, the woman's husband, peter,
came home from work.
The bird looked at him and said, "watz up,
peter"....
