Mendo007: wow! so touching. if it was in Nigeria someone will start advertising Ebook on how to photo shop for the poor man to buy

hahaha...so true...lol

Telmo Pieper, a Dutch muralist,with the help of Photoshop, he digitally recreates his old drawings into realistic versions of his childhood imagination. The Kiddie Arts series features some of the weirdest-looking animals – a shoe-shaped whale, a snail with world’s smallest shell, and an alien looking fly – a great collection of typical boy-ish drawings.

Pieper drew the original images when he was only 4 years old which shows how greatly his painting skills have evolved. Now he works in an artistic muralist duo “Telmo Miel” in Rotterdam and draws on daily basis – a childhood dream came true!

LOL...I ONLY DREW MONSTERS WHEN I WAS SMALL...

This touching and tragic story serves to remind us of just how much kindness and compassion there is in the world. When Ohio father Nathan Steffel’s daughter Sophia passed away only six weeks after her birth due to medical complications, he requested on Reddit that someone alter her photo to remove her medical tubing. Because she had spent her entire short life in the hospital, he had no photos of her without it. The response by Reddit’s users was touching and overwhelming.

THE REQUEST


THE ORIGINAL PHOTOGRAPH


CARING CONTRIBUTIONS FROM REDDIT USERS AND PHOTOSHOPPERS




STEFFELEXPLAINED THAT SOPHIE HAD SUCCUMBED TO A HEPATIC HEMANGIOMA IN HER LIVER







THERE WERE HUNDREDS OF RESPONSES BY PEOPLE WHO WANTED TO TAKE SOME TIME TO HELP STEFFEL MOURN HIS LOSS

MEET VENUS,,,THE CAT WITH TWO FACES

Venus the Chimera Cat, a well-established internet cat celebrity, has been hard at work being cute and awesome. In an internet ruled over by cats, she stands among the greatest and most famous cats due to her mystifying two-faced features, which are probably due to a genetic trait called chimerism.
It’s easy to see why she’s famous, but she’s not all looks. Her owner says that she’s a sweety, and doesn’t even scratch her furniture.

Getting nice greeting cards from your loved ones makes every holiday or celebration even more special. But how would you react if instead of saying “Happy Birthday!” your card would read “You’re Old”?

Etsy shop FINCHandHARE specializes in creating funny greeting cards that look somewhat insulting at first glance, but cheerfully say the opposite when folded out. “I imagine the cards in this shop bringing a little excitement to mailboxes all over the world,” says Heather Abbot, a witty owner and designer of FINCHandHARE.

YOU ARE AWEFUL



DAD, YOU OLD MAN



YOUR LIFE IS OVER



KILL ME NOW



IT SUCKS



YOU ARE JUST SO OLD




I MIGHT PEE ON YOU



YOU WERE WRONG




YOU ARE ONE CRAZY MOTHER



ITS ALL DOWNHILL FROM HERE



YOU ARE TERRIFYING

1) The Opening Ceremony was ruled the worst ever

Was the 2014 FIFA World Cup opening ceremony at the Corinthians Arena, Sao Paulo, Brazil the worst ever in history? Unfortunately, many think so. First, you could hardly hear what Jennifer Lopez was singing, thanks to the superb sound system and despite $7.6 million were spent for the big event, most compared it to a school play.

According to the Mashable's description: “there were dancing trees and running flowers and human soccer balls. Jennifer Lopez and Pitbull sang and kind of shouted into their microphones. If you watched the Spanish live stream it probably made no sense. If you watched the English version airing on NBC it probably made no sense. And somewhere, Vladimir Putin and his giant Sochi Bear pal are grinning, thinking that they'd finally given up the spot for weirdest opening ceremonies of all time.”

2)The first goal of the 2014 World Cup was an own goal


The first goal of the 2014 World Cup was an own goal
Brazil got off to the worst possible start at their World Cup after a Marcelo own gave Croatia the momentary lead in Sao Paulo. Marcelo's moment of horror came in the 11th minute when he diverted Ivica Olic's cross past Julio Cesar in the Brazil goal.

It was the first auto goal Brazil has ever conceded in a World Cup. It was also the only auto goal to open scoring in a tournament – both are records the defender won't particularly relish holding.



3)) A paraplegic in a robotic suit delivers the first World Cup kick

A paraplegic in an exoskeleton body suit operated through mind control delivered the inaugural kick of the World Cup in an event seen as a medical breakthrough for paraplegic patients.

Juliano Pinto, 29, is completely paralyzed in his lower body yet performed the symbolic kick-off as part of the opening ceremony. The suit is the result of 30 years work and numerous clinical tests, detailed in more than 200 scientific papers by Brazilian neuroscientist Miguel Nicolelis.

Meanwhile, television networks have come under fire for failing to broadcast the moment, with social media users criticizing the coverage.



4)Man proposes to girlfriend with commercial during World Cup

Of course, there would be romance in this World Cup. Best boyfriend ever Nick Bastress proposed to his girlfriend by filming a commercial that played during the US vs Portugal game.

Bastress wanted to shock his girlfriend, Nicole, with the proposal, so he created this 30-second clip and had it play during the high-profile soccer game. The ad showed Nick promising Nicole that he'll have dinner ready for her every night, clean the house and play with her cat, even though he admits he's more of a dog person.

She said yes.


5) A Brazilian man dies of heart attack while watching World Cup penalty shootout

A Brazilian football fan died of heart failure while watching the World Cup penalty shootout which saw his country win against Chile. The 69-year-old man was watching the tense finale in a bar close to the Mineirao Stadium in Belo Horizonte.

The fan, who was diabetic, complained of feeling unwell and was taken to hospital but died a shortly after his arrival. He wasn't the only one feeling distracted. Health officials had to treat at least 98 supporters during the match, including a 50-year-old woman with heart problems and a young man whose nose was broken in a fight.

The match finished 1-1 after extra time, with the hosts Brazil winning 3-2 in the penalty shootout.

In Bogota, Colombia, a woman was reportedly killed by a stray bullet fired in celebration for the country's win against Uruguay. A Chinese fan died of sleep deprivation after staying up too late to watch the World Cup. Two Argentinians were also reported to have died because of the World Cup. And finally, a teenager girl killed herself after Brazil's humiliating elimination.



6)Uruguayan banned for four months from all football for biting another player

Fifa decided to suspend Uruguay striker Luis Suarez for 9 games and 4 months after he appeared to bite Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini during their sides' World Cup match in Natal.

The incident occurred in the latter stages of the Group D encounter, which Uruguay won 1-0 to progress to the knockout stages. Replays showed Suarez appearing to bite Chiellini's shoulder as the two players made contact in an off-the-ball incident. Chiellini angrily remonstrated with Mexican referee Marco Rodriguez, pulling his shirt off his shoulder to show red marks on his neck.

An explosion of memes appeared shortly after the grotesque biting act. Images captured from the video and from other pictures of Suarez were remixed with several popular culture topics, such as vampires, cannibals, jaws, sharks, and even Italian food, and circulated through the social media.


7)World Cup host suffers record defeat


Brazilians saw their dream of winning a World Cup on home soil disappear for a second time after allowing a record seven goals against Germany. Many left the arena in tears before halftime, too stunned to watch any more.

The host trailed 5-0 before a half-hour had passed at the Estadio Mineirao in Belo Horizonte. The 7-1 scoreline was the worst defeat in the soccer-crazed nation's history, dashing hopes of overcoming the national tragedy of losing the final game of the 1950 World Cup at home.

While many Brazilians wept, others said they were resigned to the loss and even had a sense of humor about it. Renato Nakazato, a 37-year-old designer, walked along Paulista Avenue in Sao Paulo with two friends playing a funeral march on a toy horn. In the same city Eder Araujo laughed after saying he left a job to be able to watch all the World Cup matches.


Eight people actually bet that Germany would annihilate Brazil 7-1

Eight people actually bet that Germany would annihilate Brazil 7-1
The worst defeat in World Cup history meant windfalls for a few wild gamblers. Germany's semifinal massacre left Brazil stunned, but also forced a few bookmakers to pay out some outrageous winners.

The popular online betting exchange Betfairhad only had one person offering a bet on that exact score... at 999-to-1 odds.

In total, a confirmed eight "punters" made a bet that Germany would score seven goals to Brazil's measly one. Paddy Power had four people who placed the wager, with one Essex better placing £5 on the score and walking away with £2,505. Australia betting site TAB reported one gambler earning $500 for his correct prediction. And finally, back at England-based Betfair, spokesman Barry Orr said three winners wagered a total of $11 and cashed out a whopping $11,000.


9)A giant insect landed on James Rodriguez's arm when he scored against Brazil


The World Cup's top scorer, Colombia's James Rodriguez, scored a penalty against Brazil during his side's quarter final defeat. Eagle-eyed viewers spotted something on his arm as he celebrated.

The massive cricket landed on him before he took the penalty, and flew off shortly afterwards.

The bug is commonly known as Esperança, which means "hope" in Portuguese. Sadly Rodriguez' penalty was too little too late. Brazil proceeded to the semifinals after beating Colombia 2-1.


10) A 17-year-old World Cup fan wins a modeling contract after her crowd pic went viral


And the 2014 World Cup has a new Sweetheart… well, sort of. I'm sure most of you will remember Larissa Riquelme, the Paraguayan fan from last World Cup. This year, it was time for Belgian teenager Axelle Despiegelaere to achieve stardom by becoming one of the faces of the World Cup, landing herself a modeling contract after being spotted in the crowd in Brazil.

After she returned to Belgium she set up a Facebook page, which quickly attracted thousands of likes. A couple of days later, the 17-year-old announced on her Facebook page she had signed with L'Oréal.

But her happiness was short lived. L'Oréal announced the company was no longer working with the teenager, after she uploaded a photo of herself hunting, with the following caption: “Hunting is not a matter of life or death. It's much more important than that..this was about 1 year ago…ready to hunt Americans today haha.”

ps..the pictures are not showing...i do not know why

Students need a lot more than pencils and notebooks in today’s classrooms: The way they learn has changed radically since computers and the Internet arrived. As an educator and tech advocate, Vicki Davis, told us, “Tablets and laptops are the new paper, the new textbook, and the new podium from which teachers share with their classes.”

An education expert, Nicholas Provenzano, (thenerdyteacher.com) agrees. “It is crucial for students to have access to the best technology tools for their education,” he said. With that in mind, we present these five recommended devices to help prepare your favorite student for every stage of a modern, high-tech education.

Kindergarten
Samsung Galaxy Tab Kids, $200.

Before they can use a keyboard and mouse, children easily master the touch-and-swipe logic of a tablet. This Android model (pictured above) comes with a protective bumper, and parents can approve the kidcentric content, such as interactive e-books and education-focused games, and set playtime limits (just note that Internet security is limited to turning the built-in browser on and off). Battery life is an impressive 9.3 hours, so kids can learn and play almost all day.




Elementary school
Acer C720-2848 Chromebook, $200.

Many schools are embracing Google’s Chromebook platform (the lightweight laptops now account for one in four devices purchased in K-12 education), and some schools are using Chromebook laptops to deploy Common Core tests—which is a powerful argument for getting your kid started on the platform at home as well. This Acer scored high in our lab tests. At 2.7 pounds, the 11.6-inch device is highly portable, and it delivers more than 10 hours of battery life. The Acer can be set up by a parent to give children “Supervised User” accounts (a Chromebook feature) to restrict adult content on the Web.



Middle school to high school
Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 14, $650.

Serious homework demands a serious computer. Lenovo’s strangely flexible yet highly capable laptop has a hinge that rotates the screen 300 degrees to stand up the device like a pup tent and take better advantage of its 14-inch touch screen. And it’s an awful lot of laptop for the money—it has a 500GB hard drive, its fourth-generation Intel Core i5 delivers excellent performance, and it has lots of gee-whiz goodies such as facial recognition, as well as voice and gesture control. And at 4.1 pounds, it’s lightweight for a laptop of this size—a plus when your kid’s backpack is already laden with textbooks.



College: for the graphic design major
MacBook Pro 13-inch with Retina display and 128GB, $1,300.

Most college-bound kids can get by with the same machine they used through high school, but a higher education in the visual arts can require a bit more horsepower. With a stunning 2560x1600-pixel display, excellent processing performance, and more than 11 hours of battery life, the MacBook Pro 13-inch with Retina display is about as premium a laptop as you can get, and its price reflects that. Nevertheless, for art professionals (and soon-to-be-professionals) who run graphics-intense programs such as Adobe’s Creative Suite or  Autodesk Maya, the MacBook Pro is the gold standard (although for those applications, Apple’s starter 128GB solid-state drive is pretty skimpy). And buying with Apple’s education discount brings the price down to $1,200.



College: for the double major
Microsoft Surface Pro 3 with Core i5 processor and 128GB, $1,000.

Students deciding on a new computer before departing for college are facing a dilemma: laptop or tablet? Microsoft conceived Surface as the ultimate bridge between the two types of devices. The Pro 3 is the most laptoplike Surface yet, and with a large 12-inch, 2160x1440-pixel touch-screen display and adjustable kickstand, it can live comfortably on a lap. The Surface Pro 3’s backlit Type Cover can magnetically prop up at an angle, which may make typing easier, although it’s a shame that the $130 accessory is not included with the base price. Business students will appreciate that the Surface Pro 3 runs full Windows desktop productivity applications, and creative types will enjoy the pen interface that lets you draw or write directly on the screen. The Surface Pro 2 did very well in our laptop lab tests; we're currently testing this updated, larger model.

HAH: Such schools are actually created for social and class segregation as well as networking among the children of the rich, at end of the day they will form a strong alumni where they help each other through out their lives.

They don't want their children to mingle with the classless and poor, the parent usually can afford even 10M school fees, we are talking of the children of CEOs, top government, and diplomats.

I know of an international organisation that pay their staff children schools fees up to $15000 annually per child.
