BoiledCorn: This is very diseasetrous disastrous. It was our sunday goat she said I should kill it before she get bark back from church to use and cook both my sunday feeding and goatmeetmeat pepper soup for me. But when I look at the sorrowful an innoscent innocent eyes of the black and brown 'scape'gaot goat, I couldn't imagine myself bringing down the sharp cutlass on the neck. So I cut off just one hand of the goat enough for us, and when my gelfrend come back, she is very angry with me for not killing the goat. That am not man enough.
And she took the cutlass and went to backyard to kill it and I heard her shout, so I rush to see if the goat injured her, but I see blood all over the place and the goat crying and she shouting why I cut the goat hand. Now she want to dump me even when I appologize and promise to buy new goat for her. She no gree.

Tallesty1: This is terrible. What makes you guys think that introverts are shy? Huh? When did shyness become introvertion? Being shy is completely different from being an intro. It has more to do with fear. Just dunno why introverts are being perceived as shy people. I'm one of the few with an introverted personality and I am not shy. Fact is I see no fun in what extros consider fun and being in group of people drains my energy. That is why if I cannot leave when I want, then I will not go at all. I don't feel the need to be in a group of people. In fact, being alone is something that brings me happiness and a sense of calmness. social interaction emotionally and physically exhausts me. But that is not fear or shyness. Now see the difference: An introvert do not want, a shy person wants but cannot ask because of fear of rejection and embarrassment. While an introvert chooses to stay away from groups, or party, a shy person will think he has no choice but to stay at home(thou he wishes he could go out).

gbam! Bless u

MisterLongman: Maybe he is an introvert..... And most introvert are always shy and they have fear of rejection, disappointment and embarrassment....... All he gats to do is to build his self confidence but its not that easy

point of correction sir, being an introvert doesn't necessarily mean the individual is shy, they are poles apart, muchos gracias

They love men with big head

Ehen??

We are the people and we have a tendency to believe in each and everything that we find plausible enough. More often than not this statement about believing in things is about what a group or a community or a family thinks. We tend to grow up with beliefs that we have been told to believe since childhood. We generally do not tend to question these stuffs. As a result of this it is quite evident that Humans have developed a belief towards some weird things that are no factual base but turn up as one of the important facets of their lives. Here are the top 10 weird things that some people believe in.


1. Rumpology


The first and the basic question that might just strike most of the people is the fact that what is Rumpology? Well let me state it to you, Rumpology is the art of studying the shape and size of someone’s bum with the aim if reading the future of that person. Many people around the world are said to believe in these weird stuffs and believe that instead of Hands, the bums can show the real future of the man. To add to this in some places on this earth, people are also being paid to read your bums at quite a huge rate. Truly speaking, this is same height of weird shit.

2. The flat Earth


During the medieval times, the people of this very earth believed in the saying that the earth is flat. Then the men were proved wrong by scientists and then even Magellan’s crew circled round the world, I order to prove that the earth was round. These are the proofs of the past. Just consider the latest images of a round earth from the satellites. According to these pictures, one must not have any doubt that the Earth is round, but let me tell you about a group of people who still believe the fact that the earth is flat and all this is a conspiracy in order to prove them wrong. This whole group of people even has a complete website saying tons in their favor by the name of theflatearthsociety.org.

3. Psychic Surgery


If this was true that nobody would have died of cancer and yet in spite of knowing the facts, many people still go to these people. The psychic surgeons state that they can cure each and everything starting from cancer to fetal brain damage. These people show as if they are reaching for the diseased organs and then cure them. Many illusionists have revealed the trick that these people play but still these surgeons are very common in parts of Brazil and Malaysia. Frankly speaking, if this were true, people would not have spent their lifetimes and then died in vain trying to search for a medicine of cancer.

4. Pyramid Power


This is a theory that might just be called a bluff and at the same time might just not be. The Pyramid theory is one of those theories according to which any organic material can be preserved for any length of time provided that the pyramid is of exact proportionate dimensions. According to the belief, the Egyptians system of numerology propelled them to harness this power in order to go on with their mummification process. Although there is no scientific proof to go against this statement but neither is there any statement that would go in favor of the appeal.

5. Attachment Therapy


This is the first time when I have heard of teaching a kid to fall in love with his or her mother, father or sibling. This is what some people believe that by attachment therapy that can get closer to their children. I have got no idea of how this stuff works but it is seen that the therapists make the parents go through a number of processes before actually stating that now your son or daughter will be affectionate towards you. In some cases even children are made to go through some disastrous seasons.

6. Melanin Theory


This is arguably one of the most well known racist theories that actually do not have a mark of racism on it. Here in people think that the ones with the maximum amount of melanin have the special powers of absorbing radiations, doing stuffs that require huge calculations without the help of anything. In short, according to the melanin theory, black people are super humans. I know a few black colored people who are dumb as a donkey. Biologists are still trying to find one proof to support the statement.

7. Body Earthing


This rumor has got a bit of science in it and a bit of biology as well. According to the body others, we can actually remain in great physical condition of allowing the free radicals in our body to flow away. Till now the theory is quite interesting, but the weirdness begins when they say that we can lose the extra radicals by walking barefoot on wet grass. If these were true that none of the people of the third world rural area would have died of any illness. With the body and the earth, the relation is not like a plug and a socket.

8. The Urine Therapy


Just imagine that instead of drinking your morning cup of tea, you are drinking a glass of urine. This might just sound absolutely ridiculous to you but many people around the globe tend to believe that urine can be extremely helpful in eradicating many illnesses. The theory is not one of the new born theories but dates back to the times of the early Romans. The modern day doctors that drinking urine can lead to many unwanted disorders that could might just be fatal enough.

9. Memetics


This is something that is absolutely a belief of some people and nothing else. According to the beliefs of the people who believe in Memetics, they say that a meme is nothing but a thought that lives on from one individual to another. There is no doubt of the fact that Meme’s do not exist but for the people who believe in it, it is just like another human. It is just that the body of another human act as a host.

10. Dowsing


This is arguably one of the worst and weirdest stuffs that the people believe in. According to this, sticks can be used to find things that cannot be found with open eyes. The system was used in the past to search for water. People think that the tip would get wet and that would tell them that there is water there. But then people started believing that everything could be found out. People even think that some special dowsing sticks have special divine powers. These dowsers still hold conventions and criticize the modern methods of searching for things.

LAST BULLET: Make d virus clear fast fast, I don miss dat iya kasim roasted bush meat

By Aayesha Siddiqui (@aayesha)

Last week I posted about norovius, a common and contagious virus that sends people scurrying for the bathroom. One of the take home lessons was the importance of routinely washing your hands, whether you’re sick or healthy.

But then came the inevitable question: What about hand sanitizers? Won’t they work?

You’ll find wall dispensers full of alcohol-based liquids, gels, and foams outside elevators, in public bathrooms, all around the hospital even. Parents send their kids to school with mini-bottles of the stuff. One of our readers commented, “I keep one in my car to apply after being in public places like stores and supermarkets…thought I was getting rid of the germs.”

Our reader is getting rid of a lot of germs—but not all of them.

The Science Behind the Sanitizer

If you look at the active ingredient on the back label of your hand sanitizer, you’ll most likely find it’s ethyl alcohol (a.k.a. ethanol, the same alcohol that’s in your glass of wine or in your spray of perfume) or isopropyl alcohol (a.k.a. isopropanol, but you probably know it as rubbing alcohol). The bottle should also say that it’s between 60% to 95% alcohol (the concentration that’s most effective in killing off most germs).

So, how does the alcohol actually work? Think of a germ as having a well manicured hair-do. Every strand of hair is styled in a very particular way, and the whole hair-do only works if every strand holds its individual structure. But then the germ steps outside into an especially humid summer day. Its hair-do gets assaulted by the heavy, sticky air; the strands end up going limp, losing their original shape. Goodbye, perfect hair-do.

The germ’s proteins (essential to its life processes) are like its strands of hair, and alcohol is like the humid weather. The alcohol denatures the proteins, causing them to lose their structure, rendering them useless. Goodbye, viable germ.

Why Sanitizer Is Not a Silver Bullet

It sounds like alcohol is pretty powerful, right? Well, there are a few things to consider.

First, consider the pathogen and what kinds of germs are you actually trying to get rid of.

Alcohol-based sanitizers, at the concentrations commercially available, work best against bacteria (like E. coli or salmonella), fungi, and certain types of viruses (enveloped viruses—viruses that have a coat around them, like the influenza virus and HIV). Check, check, and check.

But what about non-enveloped viruses (like norovirus or rotavirus)? Alcohol-based hand sanitizers have been shown to have some effect—with ethanol doing better than isopropanol—but their killing prowess here isn’t as strong as against the other germs. Sanitizers also won’t do much good against protozoa (like what causes malaria) or bacterial spores (like those of C. difficile). (If you want to geek out on the scientific literature, take a look at the World Health Organization Guidelines on Hand Hygiene in Health Care, starting on page 32.)

Take home lesson: It doesn’t hurt to use hand sanitizers, just know that you’re not fully protected.

Persistence

A key question is: How long will your hands remain free of germs after using the sanitizer?

You rub your hands and the germs start dying off, and the ones that remain even take a bit longer to grow back than usual. Win-win. But that doesn’t mean that the effect persists. You’ll need to re-apply hand sanitizer after you come in contact with a contaminated surface, a sick person, or anything else that might be germ-laden.

Take home lesson: Hand sanitizers are quick-acting, but not long-lasting.

Personal Error

The research that’s been done on the germicidal powers of alcohol has been done both in the lab (in vitro) and in real life with real people (in vivo). These are, of course, two very different settings. Exposing germs to alcohol in the lab is far more uniform than when someone takes a squirt of sanitizer from the hallway dispenser and hurriedly rubs her hands are visibly dirty and she doesn’t have time to run to the bathroom—maybe hand sanitizer can act as a stand-in?

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention caution against this. They emphasize that visibly soiled or dirty hands reduce the efficacy of alcohol-based hand sanitizers. You should therefore wash your hands if there’s anything on them. Using a hand sanitizer can be effective if you have visibly clean hands, but you’ll need to make sure to correctly rub the sanitizer on so it can actually work its magic.

Take home lesson: If you’re going to use sanitizer, make sure your hands are not visibly dirty.

Hypochondria Mania?

All this talk of sanitizers had me questioning everything I touched. I admit: I too carry a travel-sized bottle in my backpack. I reach for it before I touch public keyboards, after I use public transportation—even sometimes after shaking hands. Am I overreacting? Maybe.

The truth of the matter is alcohol-based sanitizers are useful, convenient, and effective in most circumstances. But they aren’t a cure-all. If you want your bases covered, wash your hands routinely and supplement with alcohol-based sanitizers. And don’t be shy—scrub and rub vigorously. Better safe than sick in the bathroom.

The fear of ebola is the beginning of wisdom

dtneicna: that picture up there is gorisom

u meant worrisome? Or gruesome?

Sounds like some good news that actually something is at least even working...but the question remains, for how long are we gonna depend on the west for help maka gini For heavens sake we got intellectuals in this country, intelligent minds, and are we just gonna sit back with in complacency and watch passively? I don't blame anybody tho, dem big pipu for obodo naija be transferring dem families to the states till the west comes up with a cure to curtail the disease, while the poor man is left to die on the streets without as much as a so called "doctor" to attend to him IN the so called "government hospital" God save us

This really is turning to something else, I wonder why they are panicking all of a sudden tho, the first ebola case was reported in March, that was months ago, we had all the time in this world to prepare for this, and I really wonder why we wait for the evil to happen before running helter skelter in futility. The only best we can HOPE is that we GET LUCKY and this disease doesn't escalate beyond this because in actual fact we are incompetent wen it comes to containing this catastrophe #MyOpinion
