With only a few hours to Mr. Trump's inauguration as the 45th President of the United States, ABC news has just made public for the first time Bill Clinton's letter to George W. Bush and George Bush's inauguration day letter to Barrack Obama.

Former Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush warned their successors of future challenges they may face but also spoke of the thrill of taking the nation’s highest office in letters that were publicly revealed Thursday.


Clinton wished Bush “success and much happiness” while Bush told President Barack Obama he was “pulling” for him, according to the letters obtained by ABC News from the National Archives and Records Administration.

“There will be trying moments. The critics will rage. Your ‘friends’ will disappoint you. But, you will have an Almighty God to comfort you, a family who loves you, and a country that is pulling for you, including me,” Bush wrote to Obama in January 2009

Osun State Governor, Rauf Aregbesola, has described a section of retired workers who addressed themselves as Internally Displaced Pensioners (IDP) in the state as bunch of ingrates.

Aregbesola spoke at the weekend when another section of pensioners held peaceful procession in Osogbo, to demonstrate their support to his government and assured him of their unalloyed loyalty.


He said his administration gave priority attention to retired workers and multiplied money for payment of pension by five times and paid as and when due until November 2014 when recession set in.

Aregbesola reiterated that his government borrowed as much as 25 billion Naira from banks to pay workers’ salaries and pension and stop it when it could no longer cope with the huge wage and pension.

About 3,000 members of the Nigeria Union of Pensioners (NUP) under the aegis of Triangular Group of Pensioners lauded Aregbesola for paying the arrears of their pension up to December 2016.

Dirty Politics

Governor Aregbesola who justified his love to workers and retired ones explained that Osun state is the only state in the federation that implement 142% pension increment approved by the Abacha military regime, adding that between 2015 and 2016, his administration had paid N9.6billion to retired workers alone.

“We implemented 142% increase in pension which other rich and buoyant states including Lagos has not implemented. No state government has paid as much as we have paid pensioners in Osun. We paid 9.5 billion to pensioners alone.

Nearly 90,000 Christians were killed for their faith in 2016, equivalent to one every six minutes, according to a new study by the Italy-based Center for Studies on New Religions (Censur). The annual study, which is set for release next month, also indicated that between 500 and 600 million Christians were prevented from freely practicing their faith.

The number has actually declined from 105,000 in 2015, but it still makes Christians the most persecuted religious group in the world, Massimo Introvigne, director of Censur, told Vatican Radio when announcing the findings on Monday.

“Without wishing to forget or belittle the suffering of members of other religions, Christians are the most persecuted religious group in the world,” Introvigne said.

Around 70 percent of the killings occurred in tribal conflicts in Africa, with the high number attributed to Christians refusing to take up weapons for reasons of conscience, Introvigne said. A separate report earlier this year found that a large number of Christian deaths were occurring in northern Nigeria, where the terrorist group Boko Haram operates.

The other 30 percent, according to Introvigne, occurred due to terrorist attacks and government persecution, notably in North Korea. Last year, Canadian pastor Hyeon Soo Lim was sentenced to life in prison in North Korea for what Pyongyang described as “anti-state activities.”

Have you ever wished to spy on someones chat without their knowledge. Today i will be sharing the step by step guide on how you can go intel into the conversation of your kids, spouse and workers.

How To Spy On WhatsApp On An Android Device?


Look Up WhatsApp Spy Applications

Now, there might be a large number of spy applications in the market that can help you out with a ton of things that you might need. TheOneSpy App can help you keep an eye on your kids, employees, spouses, or whomever else you need to keep an eye on. But, not all the spy apps available out there are able to help you keep an eye on the messages being sent and received by WhatsApp. Therefore, the best thing to do in a situation like this would be to Google spy applications that specialize in giving you unadulterated access to WhatsApp.

The way to go about it would be to look up at least 5 to 6 such apps that can prove to be helpful to you and then compare them with each other. Compare them in terms of price and packages and the various things it offers in term of monitoring services, features, compatible device, etc. We can just as easily furnish you with a list of app that can be helpful to you but we do not know what you need the app for and what use could it be for you if it doesn’t satisfy your needs.

Complete the Buying Process

One thing you have to remember is even though the best things in life might be free, the same cannot be held true when it comes to spy applications. If you ever find a spy application that is for free, you must not trust it since your security and privacy at stake.

Therefore, once you have chosen the spy application that not only fulfill your needs but is also compatible with your target device, you need to go to the website of the spy application and buy it. In order to do so you need to follow their downloading and purchase procedure and you are all set to go.

The story began making the rounds at Washington dinner parties late last summer: Donald Trump had been caught in a compromising sexual position by Russian intelligence agents during a business trip to Moscow. According to one version, told by a high ranking Obama administration diplomat, Russian intelligence services, acting on Donald Trump’s well known obsession with sex, had arranged an evening for him with a bevy of hookers, with hidden cameras and microphones recording all the action. The jaw-dropping detail that topped the story? Trump had somehow engaged in “golden showers,” a sex act involving urine.


Now, according to a leaked annex to the combined U.S. intelligence agencies’ report on Kremlin intrigues in the American elections, Russian security agents watched Trump engaging in “perverted sexual acts” that were “arranged/monitored by the FSB,” the Kremlin’s leading spy agency. The FSB, it said, “employed a number of prostitutes to perform a golden showers (urination) show in front of him.” Not only that, according to the report’s anonymous Russian sources, Trump deliberately chose for his escapade “the Ritz Carlton hotel, where he knew President and Mrs. Obama (whom he hated) had stayed on one of their official trips to Russia and defiling the bed where they had slept.”

According to famous leaker Sonny Dickson, the 2017 iPhone will have a radical new design, get significantly larger and more expensive but I can also exclusively reveal two essential new additions the range has been crying out for for years...

A sneak peek on the yet to be released iPhone 8:


Get Ready for fast charging....

Inside all three new 2017 iPhones (Dickson reiterates previous sources that there will be three distinct new models) will be a new ‘Tristar 3, Hydra’ chip which manages the charging port.

“In normal people words… [it] will include fast charging,” he explained. But before you celebrate there are a couple of key unknowns here.

Firstly whether the fast charging will be compatible with any current fast charging standards. Since this isn’t by Qualcomm it won’t be “Quick Charge” but there is a chance it could be the fast charging built into USB 3.1 - a standard Apple is very keen on across the MacBook range - though I highly doubt we’ll see a switch from Lightning due to its lucrative proprietary licensing fees.

Secondly just because the port can handle fast charging doesn’t mean Apple wants to implement it. After all current iPhones can charge more quickly using an iPad charger (try it out) but Apple never supplies this more powerful charger in the box despite the high price tag. Clearly, for whatever reason, Apple wants it to remain off the radar for mainstream customers.

And lastly there’s no mention of wireless charging, but I remain hopeful given the change of chassis material.

Tap to Wake is An 'iPhone 8' Exclusive....

Just because three new iPhone models are expected in 2017, doesn’t mean there will be parity between them.


Dickson explains that while Apple is finally catching up to Android rivals by adding Tap To Wake, it will only feature on the so-called ‘iPhone 8’ which will feature a brand new design rather than the iPhone 7S and iPhone 7S Plus which will mimic Apple designs since the iPhone 6 and launch alongside it.

Phones like the Google Pixel and Pixel XL already have Tap to Wake functionality. Image credit: Gordon Kelly

This seems a strange one to me given Tap To Wake - the action of being able to tap a phone screen to easily preview your notifications - is a staple of many low end Android phones (queue some laughter from Android owners).

Over the years scientist and expert had believed that this newly discovered organ was a series of fragmented parts but according to a new report by Irish researchers it has been confirmed that the mesentery is indeed its own continuous organ - a fold of membrane that connects the intestine to the abdomen. So in other word you technically gained an organ...LOL

The discovery could create a new field of "mesenteric" science and may help doctors better understand and treat abdominal diseases, said Calvin Coffey, a professor of surgery at University of Limerick's Graduate Entry Medical School.

An organ is considered to be a self-contained body part that serves a specific vital function. The heart, for instance, is a muscular organ that pumps blood through our blood vessels.

Researchers say they still don't quite understand the mesentery's key functions, beyond the obvious role as a connective layer.

One of the world's earliest depictions of the mesentery was produced by the Italian Renaissance artist Leonardo da Vinci. While his drawing and subsequent medical illustrations showed the mesentery as a continuous structure, in the past century scientists came to believe it was a series of broken-up pieces, and thus less medically significant.

In 2012, Coffey and his colleagues first showed through microscopic analyses that the fold of membrane was, in fact, a single connected structure.

Over the last four years, the team continued to collect evidence confirming the mesentery's classification as an organ, which culminated with the November paper.

The research prompted the publishers of Gray's Anatomy, one of the world's best-known medical textbooks, to update the entry for mesentery.

Elsevier, which publishes both Gray's Anatomy and The Lancet journal, included the reclassification of mesentery in its 41st edition of Gray's, which came out September 2015, Mashable confirmed.

OMG! You won't believe a Chinese shopping mall will be ringing in the new year 'The year of the rooster' with a giant sculpture of chicken that looks just like the United States President-elect Donald Trump.

China has gone cuckoo for the cartoonish pastiche - complete with orange pompadour - of the billionaire politician in Taiyuan, capital of the northern province of Shanxi.


The scowling statue is one of many roosters popping up around the country as it prepares to celebrate the lunar new year at the end of January.

NOKIA is set to make a huge comeback in 2017, the former market leader is set to re-launch 5 of her old-school mobile phones.

The Android phones will have 5” and 5.7” displays and the first set will be unveiled at the annual Mobile World Congress tech show in February.


The former market leader fell from grace after the iPhone hit the market in the late noughties.

And while older Nokia models are worth an absolute fortune at auction, a return using the much-loathed Windows 10 operating system was a massive flop.

But it’s hoped that with the introduction of an Android operating system (and a new design team behind the scenes), the phones will be a hit with nostalgic gadget lovers.

Much likes its predecessors, the new devices will be cheap but durable.

It said the Nokia 150 and Nokia 150 Dual are “built to last” and promise the same battery power from the good old Nokia 3310 days.

They offer up to 22 hours talk time and 31 days standby.

It said the two phones — which come with classic games Snake and Nitro Racing — will be rolled out early next year.

And there are rumours they will be followed by three more smartphones, according to Gadget 360.

The announcement is hot on the heels of BlackBerry — another phone company trying to claw back lost custom for 2017.

It will release a top secret “evolutionary first” at upcoming CES conference in Las Vegas in January.

A leak of a handset dubbed “Mercury” with a Qwerty keyboard along with a touchscreen have been doing the rounds online.

The Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrasheed Akanbi, has cleared the air on why he refused to appear in court to face litigation instituted against him by Oluwo-Oke of Iwo-Oke, Oba Kadiri Adeoye, on the allegation that he was sponsoring thugs and involved in yahoo fraud.

At a meeting with one of the leaders of Quadiriyah Islamic Movement of Yoruba land, Mr Muhammed Imran-Adio, at Imoru Compound, Iwo, Osun State, Oba Akanbi described the allegation as a mere threat to intimate the crown.


“The lawsuit was the handiwork of some mischief makers who want to distract my compassionate leadership style and an attempt to get me docked so as to discredit the crown.

“How can I appear in court on defamatory allegations? There are two respondents in the case, Oluwo and State Commissioner of Police.

“The CP has been represented in court several times and I (Oluwo) have also been represented by three royal fathers and qualified lawyers, so why should the magistrate run after the crown leaving the man in khaki? This is an indication that something is wrong somewhere.

“If they can represent CP, why must they request the physical appearance of a first class ruler? You now insisted on docking Oluwo, maybe you meant another Oluwo not Adewale Abdulrasheed,” he said.

The Olowu further claimed that he “was spiritually at the meeting where the plan to ridicule Oluwo was orchestrated. There was never any case, any indictment in the allegations. It was just a paper allegation and baseless binding over”.

In a short speech, the Khalifa Qodiriya, Ede, Sheik Abdullahi Olohunlomerue, condemned the litigation against the monarch

An 86-year-old jewel thief who has kept jewelry sellers on their toes since the 1970s has struck again, police say - this time by slipping a $2,000 diamond necklace into her pocket.

Doris Payne, who has been the subject of a documentary and casually said during an Associated Press interview earlier this year that "I was a thief," was arrested Tuesday at a Von Maur department store outside Atlanta.


Payne was arrested after she put the necklace in her back pocket and tried to leave the store, Dunwoody police spokesman Mark Stevens said in an email. She faces a shoplifting charge.

Online jail records did not show any bond information, and it wasn't clear whether Payne had an attorney who could comment.

Attorney Shawn McCullers, who represented her last year when she was accused of pocketing a $690 pair of earrings from a Saks Fifth Avenue department store at a mall in Atlanta's upscale Buckhead neighborhood, said in an email Wednesday that he was not currently representing her in the latest arrest.

Authorities have said Payne has lifted pricey baubles from countless jewelry stores around the world in an illicit career that has spanned six decades. The legend of Payne's alleged thefts have long fascinated the public and media, with countless news stories and a 2013 documentary film, "The Life and Crimes of Doris Payne," detailing her feats.

When asked about her exploits in the interview with The Associated Press earlier this year, she said simply: "I was a thief."

Court papers in Atlanta reference six cases prior to the alleged theft last year, mostly in southern California, dating to 1999.

Payne was raised in West Virginia and moved with her family to Ohio when she was a teenager.

Authorities have said she has used at least 22 aliases over the years and probably got away more often than she was caught, though she has done several stints in prison. The Jewelers' Security Alliance, an industry trade group, sent out bulletins as early as the 1970s warning about her.

Hello lovelies, today i will love to share with a list of faux pas that sometimes disqualify you at job interviews, unless you're really lucky. Though i agree nobody is perfect. You could be a pro at job interviews, but according to Business Insider there's a chance you say something a bit off and completely wreck your chances.

11 things you say that can kill your job interview instantly ruin your chances:


1. 'What does your company do?'
Questions like this will make you look like you don't even care enough to run a simple Google search.
2. 'Are you married?/Are you pregnant?/etc.'
Never ask the interviewer any personal questions -- or anything that could be offensive. It's just off-putting.
3. 'S---,' 'b----,' 'f---, ' etc.
Hey, everyone curses. It's better to hold off on the profanities in job interviews, though. That being said, letting out a curse word or two during a funny story might not be a nail in your coffin. Angrily swearing at someone (your interviewer or otherwise), on the other hand, would definitely knock you out of the running. This goes double for any offensive, racist, or sexist speech.
4. 'I want your job'
Put yourselves in your interviewer's shoes. Would you want to hire someone who sounds like they're about to go "All About Eve" on you?
5. 'This isn't my top choice'
Even if you can't imagine yourself staying on at the company too long, it's important not to express this aloud. Your interviewer's not going to respond well to someone that expresses an intention to use the position as a mere stepping stone to something bigger and better.
The same thing goes for interviewing with your second choice. You may have a dream job in the wings that you're waiting to hear back from, but don't make the interviewer feel like you don't value their organisation.
6. 'I'd better get this job, or...'
Even if you're just kidding (I mean, hopefully you're kidding), you'll just come across as creepy and overly aggressive.
7. 'If I don't get this job, I don't know what I'll do'
Any interviewer worth their salt won't allow themselves to be guilted into offering you a job, so save the sob story.
8. 'Do you want to grab dinner sometime?' or 'Wow, you have such a beautiful smile'
Don't flirt with your interviewer.

A South African man who medics believed to have died in a motorcycle crash was found alive in the morgue when his shocked family came to identify his body.

Msizi Mkhize, 28, was walking home with a friend when he was hit by a vehicle in KwaMashu, a township in South Africa, not far from Durban.


He was pronounced dead at the scene and transferred to the Phoenix morgue.

There, he spent TWO DAYS in a fridge — despite still being alive.

When his family came to view the body, shocked staff discovered he still had a pulse.

Sadly, Mkhize, who was resuscitated by nurses, died five hours later.

“When his family arrived for identification purposes, a pulse was found in the patient by mortuary staff, who then immediately transported him to Mahatma

Nearly every job applicant is guilty of this, the use of buzzwords from time to time, but professionals
are increasingly on their ability to communicate, "says Paul Mcdonald, a senior executive director for personal-placement firm Robert Half.

Some of the major problems with using buzzwords, according to Mary Lorenz, a corporate-communications manager at CareerBuilder, are that they have become so overused that they've lost all meaning, and they don't differentiate the job seeker from other candidates because they're so generic.Other, less jargony words and terms should be avoided when they serve little purpose to the hiring manager. All these words do is waste their time and, as a result, you lose out on the few precious seconds a recruiter spends scanning your résumé.
Instead, Lorenz says job seekers should speak in terms of accomplishments and show rather than tell.
"Avoiding overused terms can help job seekers convey their message and stand out from the crowd," McDonald says.


Here's what you should avoid:

1. "Best of breed"
When CareerBuilder surveyed more than 2,200 hiring managers last year, it found "best of breed" to be the most irritating term to be seen on a résumé.
The phrase offers little meaning and doesn't help differentiate candidates. "Employers want to know what makes the job seekers unique, and how they will add value to the specific organization for which they're applying," Lorenz says.
2. 'Phone'
Career coach Eli Amdur tells Business Insider that there is no reason to put the word "phone" in front of the actual number: "It's pretty silly. They know it's your phone number."
The same rule applies to email.
3. 'Results-driven'
"Instead of simply saying that you're results-driven, write about what you did to actually drive results — and what those results were," Lorenz suggests.
4. 'Seasoned'
"Not only does this word conjure up images of curly fries," says Rita Friedman, a Philadelphia-based career coach, but "it is well-recognized as a code word for 'much, much older.'
5. 'Highly qualified'
McDonald says using terms like "highly qualified" or "extensive experience" won't make you seem better suited for the job — in fact, it could have the opposite effect. Instead, he suggests you focus on the skills, accomplishments, and credentials you bring to the role.
6. 'Responsible for'
Superfluous words like "responsible for," "oversight of," and "duties included" unnecessarily complicate and hide your experience, says Alyssa Gelbard, founder and president of Résumé Strategists.
"Be direct, concise, and use active verbs to describe your accomplishments," she suggests.
Instead of writing, "Responsible for training interns ...," simply write, "Train interns ..."
7. 'I,' 'me,' or 'myself'
Avoid using personal pronouns like I, me, my, we, or our, Gelbard says.
"A person reviewing your résumé knows that you're talking about your skills, experience, and expertise or something related to the company for which you worked, so you don't need to include pronouns."
ZipRecruiter also found people who use "me" or "myself" on their résumé had up to a 79% greater likelihood of receiving the lowest rating from hiring managers.
8. 'References available by request'
This outdated phrase will unnecessarily show your age, Gelbard says: "If you progress through the interviewing process, you will be asked for personal and professional references."
9. 'Ambitious'
"Of course you would never say you're 'lazy' either, but calling yourself ambitious doesn't make any sense on a résumé," Friedman says.
"It can imply that you're targeting this job now, but will quickly be looking to move up in the company because you won't be satisfied in the role, leaving the employer stuck with doing a new job search in the very near future."
10. 'Team player'
"Who doesn't want to be a team player? If you're not a team player, you're probably not going to get the job," McDonald says.
But using this term isn't going to make you stand out from other candidates. "Instead, use an example of how you saved a company time, money, and resources on a team project or in collaboration with others."
11. 'Microsoft Word'
Yes, you and everyone else.
It's assumed that you have a basic proficiency in Microsoft Office, Gelbard says. Unless you have expert proficiency, there's no need to include it on your résumé.
12. 'Interfaced'
"Words like this make you sound like an automaton," Oliver says. "Most recruiters would rather meet with a human being. Keep your verbs simple and streamlined."
13. 'Hard worker'
It's true that a company is less likely to consider you if you haven't worked hard or don't come across as someone who will put in what it takes to get the job done, but that doesn't mean writing "hard worker" will convince hiring managers of your efforts.
"Give concrete examples of h

Following the recent spat between Nigeria's former VP, Atiku Abubakar and the Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai. (If you miss the story read it here). The United States Department of Justice has come out to clear the former VP stating that Mr. Atiku did not any record that indicates that Nigeria’s former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has a pending lawsuit in the US.

In an email to Punch on Friday, a spokesperson for the US DOJ, Peter Carr said, “Thank you for reaching out to us. I have checked the public court records, and they do not show cases filed against a defendant named Atiku Abubakar.”

This was stated as a response to Sunday Punch’s request for information on whether Abubakar is wanted in the US in connection with any issue of money laundering.

The mail also asked the department to confirm whether Abubakar has been banned from entering the US and if there is any court case against him concerning the Halliburton scandal which resulted in the conviction of a US lawmaker, William Jefferson.

Asked if it is true that the ex-vice president (now a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress) was banned from entering the US, the American official said the issue was confidential.

He said, “Visa issues are confidential under section 222(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. If your question is specifically about entry – not about visas per se – I would refer you to the US Customs and Border Protection.”

Last week, Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, had implied that Abubakar was avoiding a visit to the US because he might be charged with a case of money laundering.

He reacted to Abubakar’s interview which he granted to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission’s quarterly publication, Zero Tolerance, where he had accused the Kaduna governor of corruption by offering him Transcorp’s shares.

France first female Astronaut Claudie Haignere, who was a backup crew member in 1993 for the Mid Altair mission, had to be restrained after yelling a caution before overdosing on sleeping pills.


At the time it was reported she was found conscious but required restraint while screaming: “Earth must be warned” before falling into a coma.


She claimed the incident was a result of “burnout syndrome”.

However conspiracy theorists believe she was trying to warn Earth about life in outer space.

Claudie made it to the Mir space station in 1996 as part of the Russian-French Cassiopée mission and in 2001 she was the first European woman to visit the International Space Station.

Asteroid 135268 Haigneré is named after her and her husband, who also on the mission.

The accidental public servant, Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State has responded to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar's allegation that he (Atiku) was betrayed by the Kaduna State governor and former EFCC boss, Nuhu Ribadu.

In a statement signed by the governor on Tuesday, he called out the former VP, accusing him of falsehood.

He said Mr. Abubakar “has a record of spewing outright lies and innuendo against my person”.

“As we struggle to build a law-abiding society and secure progressive outcomes for our people, we cannot allow the triumph on these shores of those who will have us move to a post-factual world,” he said.

The Kaduna governor said not even Mr. Abubakar’s expertise “in the dark arts of damaging other people through a campaign of lies from him and his media machine” is capable of returning the country to its past.

Mr. El-Rufai said contrary to the postulation by Mr. Abubakar, he never had anything to do with the incorporation of Transcorp.

The governor also accused Mr. Abubakar of corruption saying the former vice president has not gone to the U.S. for fear of being arrested.

“Can Alhaji Atiku explain the findings in the report of the United States Senate Permanent Sub-Committee on Investigations which detailed a pattern of wire transfers of more than USD 40 million from offshore companies like Siemens into bank accounts controlled by him and one of his wives.

“The report detailing the US Senate findings is online, as one of four case histories of foreign corruption in the USA. Alhaji Atiku should tell a better tale of why he is avoiding the United States of America.

“Someone as obsessed with Nigeria’s presidency as he is, should clear up such matters conclusively. We wait to see how well he does with that,” Mr. El-Rufai said.The governor also accused Mr. Abubakar of corruption saying the former vice president has not gone to the U.S. for fear of being arrested.

The Federal Government has described the proposed strike by university lecturers, ASUU, as ‘unconstitutional.’

The government’s stance was made by the Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige.


The government, however, also appealed to ASUU to rescind its decision to embark on the one week warning strike from November 16.

Mr. Ngige urged ASUU to shelve the strike to make room to address contending issues.

Mr. Ngige, via a statement issued by Samuel Olowokere, Deputy Director of Press in the Ministry, said shelving the strike would ensure wider consultation.

“The claims of nationwide consultations by ASUU cannot be true as the Ministry of Labour and Employment which is the chief conciliator of industrial relations disputes is yet to receive a direct petition from ASUU.

“This is against the Federal Government who is the jurisdictional employer,” he said.

He emphasised the need for a proper re-negotiation of the Collective Bargaining Agreement which ASUU reached with the previous administration

Yuck! This Australian body builder, Aaron Curtis didn't just bring his bundle of joy home from the hospital, he came back with the placenta and guess what he did with it....Well he fried it and then ate it.


The Australian bodybuilder kept the placenta in the fridge for a week, before frying it up and wolfing it down – all the in the hope of 'making some gains'.


In the interest of over sharing, he filmed himself doing it all.

“With the birth of my first child, I thought I would consume the organ that provided her with life during the pregnancy in the hope of making some gains,” he explained.

“After waiting more than a week with this placenta in the fridge, I thought I better cook it and wash off some of the slime before I eat it… to minimise the chance of dying,” he said.

After cooking some of the placenta on a hot grill, he continued: “I’m starting with a little bit, just to reduce the chance of getting botulism or something.”

After he finished chewing on a piece he said, “Tastes like liver I think. It’s not too dry in the middle. Bit over done.”

What is your take on this, and for any reason will you try this?

Although the United States Presidential elections that produced Donald Trump as the President-elect has come and gone but the dust raised by the outcome of the election is yet to die down.

The election of Donald Trump as president is a bitter pill to swallow for millions of Americans — and some are backing a quixotic campaign to reverse that outcome.


As of Friday afternoon, more than 2.4 million people had signed a petition to the U.S. Electoral College, urging its members to ignore their states’ votes and cast their ballots for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

“Mr. Trump is unfit to serve. His scapegoating of so many Americans, and his impulsivity, bullying, lying, admitted history of sexual assault, and utter lack of experience make him a danger to the Republic,” wrote Elijah Berg, who launched the petition on Change.org.

Berg, of North Carolina, argued that the Electoral College can award the White House to either candidate and should use its own “most undemocratic” institution to ensure a “democratic result.”

Berg continued: “24 states bind electors. If electors vote against their party, they usually pay a fine. And people get mad. But they can vote however they want and there is no legal means to stop them in most states.

And in a deep twist of irony, Trump has also called for the Electoral College to be abandoned. On the eve of the 2012 election, between President Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney, Trump called the Electoral College “a disaster for a democracy.”

Though i do agree that Android devices are largely just as good as the Apple iPhone. But there are still some key reasons why you should choose the iPhone over an Android device any-day..


Check out some cool reason why you should pick iPhone over Android devices:


Guaranteed software updates for years.
iOS is the only platform that guarantees you'll get software updates with new features throughout the life of your device. In fact, Apple supports old iPhones long after most people stop using them. For example, the latest iOS 10 even works on the iPhone 5, which launched four years ago.
Android phones rarely get that kind of support. Many manufacturers stop issuing Android updates after a year or so, if you're lucky. That means you're likely to miss the latest and greatest features that come to Android each year.

The best apps, first.
Both iPhone and Android have a robust selection of apps, but iPhone still tends to get the best apps first.
Developers tend to make more money from the iPhone, which is why it often gets preference over Android.
The latest example? Nintendo's first Mario game, "Super Mario Run," will be an iPhone exclusive when it launches later this year.

No "crapware" from your wireless carrier.
Carriers have a lot of control over what appears on Android phones, and they use that leverage to stuff the devices full of apps and services you don't need. Even worse, those apps are often impossible to delete from your device.
The iPhone never comes with carrier crapware. The software is exactly the same no matter which carrier you buy your iPhone from.

The best support if you have a problem.
Apple has a vast network for customer support. Just walk into an Apple Store and someone will help you with your issues.
It gets messy with Android phones though. In most cases, you have to deal with your wireless carrier if you have a problem with your phone, not the manufacturer, which means you're working with people who aren't as well-versed in how your device works.

But you love to stick with Android, then then this will be good news!...
