Really?

Ishilove:
This is tragic and disgraceful

Like seriously.

oyb:
Exactly. It is the same way people going about their business with their day planned will abandon it all to scoop /steal fuel from an overturned tanker

It is the same way they will see a plane crash as an opportunity to loot the bodies of the dead.

It is not hunger. It is a poverty mentality. How far will that food from the whale go? Is it up to one meal after they have all carved it up?

That accident is even more heartbreaking, stealing from that are lying in pool of their blood.

Some peopl can be heartless.

ashkenking:
na the only thing we Sabi do b Dis..

Lol..

LastMumu:
The stark contrast between both pictures has nothing to do with hunger, the pictures depicts the difference in culture of both people, it is a mentality thing. While the Whites have gotten to that stage where they see nature in a different light, they understand the importance of protecting, exploring, and exploring it, Africans still have this "consume - consume" mentality. I can tell you most of those with cutlass butchering that whale have food waiting for them at home. But immediately they saw the whale, the only thing they are thinking is 'I must eat it!'. It is the way our head is wired here.

Well said bro.

potbelly:
You can't blame them op....

There is Serious hunger in the land... Lots of empty stomachs to be filled...

If you try to preach animal protection to them you just dey waste your time... An average African will take this as a blessing and think of how to fill his stomach first...

Lol......Nigerians are hot.

obafemee80:
You can't blame Nigerians.
90% of Nigerians are hungry.Only the people who are related to the politicians dey enjoy
Their is nothing we can't eat,
From snake,friendly dolphins ,even human being

Lol

The bridge (pictured in 2015) as workers construct in the Pearl River Delta.


Yin Haiqing, a leading engineer on the project told Xinhua: 'Due to lack ofexperience, it took us 96 hours to lay the first tube in the ocean and many engineers and workers hardly slept for four consecutive days.'


The bridge will cut travel time between Hong Kong and Zhuhai from 3 hours to just 30 minutes.

Construction on the world's longest sea bridge connecting Hong Kong, Zhuhai and Macao is almost complete.


After seven years of construction, the 34-mile-long bridge is set to open at the end of the year.

It will cut travel time from Hong Kong to Zhuhai down to 30 minutes from 3 hours.

Zhu Yongling, director of the management bureau of the bridge has confirmed that the bridge will open at the end of the year.

The bridge used 420,000 tonnes of steel which is enough to build 60 Eiffel Towers.

It bridge's total length is 55 kilometres (34 miles) making it 14 miles longer than the distance from Dover to Calais.

The bridge has cost some HK$ 112 billion (£12 billion). Video footage shows the sheer size of the completed main structure.

This would have made FP if it were explorers.

Nice one op

But its not too late now bros, it doesn't matter.

Can still make it.

Cool

Researchers were able to remove some of the key organs, and the intact skeleton of the blue whale.


The blue whale heart is being displayed next to the enormous skeleton of a blue whale (pictured) in the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto.


A human heart is shown for size comparison in front of the plastinated whale heart.

When the reserachers weighed the heart, they discovered that it was a staggering 440 pounds, and the same size as a Smartcar.


Before it was displayed in Toronto, the heart traveled from Canada to Germany, where technicians worked on it for more than a year as no facility in North America was big enough to handle a whale heart (pictured in Guben, Germany in May 2017)

In order to remove all the water from the heart to preserve it, the heart remained in vacuum for more than four months.

Ms Miller referred to the heart as 'Frankenheart' and compared the unveiling to the birth of a child because of how long the team worked on it.

'We're very, very proud,' she said, adding that the preserved heart could last for as long as 1,000 years.

The heart was retrieved from a whale carcass that washed up on the shore of Newfoundland in 2014.

The whale was one of nine blue whales that died in the area when they became trapped in ice - an astonishing three percent of the wild population.

When these 300,000-pound creatures die, they always sink.

But in a rare event, two washed up on the shores of Trout River in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador.

Scientists were then able to salvage some of the whale's organs to conduct never-before-done research.

The heart, which measures 5x4x4ft and pumps out 220 litres of blood per beat, was in such good condition that it was a perfect candidate for preservation using a technique called plastination.

During this process, researchers from the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto pumped the heart with fomaldehyde, stiffening the muscles as stopping decomposition.

They then soaked the heart in acetone to remove all the water from the tissue, down to the cellular level.

This is the first blue whale heart to be anatomically preserved.


It is known as the largest animal on our planet, so it's no wonder that the heart of the blue whale is also record-breaking.

Researchers have retrieved an enormous heart from a blue whale carcass in Newfoundland, and discovered that it weighs a staggering 440lbs (200kg), and is the same size as a Smartcar.

"We had to get the chest cavity opened to expose the heart and then get in there and freethe heart up from all of the surrounding tissues, getting in with what was left of the lungs and blood pretty much up to my waist," explains Jacqueline Miller, a mammalogy technician from the ROM.

"It took four of us to push the heart out through a window we'd made between the ribs and the side of the chest cavity."



The gigantic heart is on display at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto.

Hmmmmmm...educative..nice research bro










I now c d reason why a nairalander told you to just show your nairaland topics to d visa officer, dat you will get automatic visa approval

Lol.....So you saw that?

Dont mind vickyrotex.

Thanks sis.

Mr McGrath, from (pictured with his surgeon Dr Kingkrit Chaiyasate) is now enjoying every opportunity he is given and the reconstruction work on his face will continue.

Mr McGrath is pictured before reconstruction surgery.

The 38-year-old said he was left 'heartbroken' after waking up from surgery to find part of his face had disappeared.

Before and after the sugery.




Medics managed to cut out the cancerous tumour, but his body rejected multiple attempts to rebuild it.

He is pictured with the tumour on his face and after surgery.



Mr McGrath was admitted to hospital where he remained for almost seven weeks following the initial 30 hour operation to remove and then reconstruct his face.

Mr McGrath said:



'Before the surgery they gave me the worst case scenario, they said I would have to lose my left eye and my left ear, but I didn't' believe that was going to be necessary.


'When I woke up I was in complete shock, as well as removing part of my face and bone structure, they had removed most of the muscle in my back, they had taken a rib, and they took part of my scapula and part of my shoulder too.


'This was so that they could rebuild my bone structure and the surrounding area however my body rejected the first attempts.

'Eventually I was discharged and the cavity was closed but over time the transplant kept shrinking and I experienced numerous infections.

'There were so many times when I wanted to give up and at times it was difficult to find the strength to carry on.'

A man who was left with half a face after it was ravaged by cancer has had it rebuilt by a genius surgeon.

Tim McGrath, 38, was diagnosed with Synovial Sarcoma, an extremely rare form of soft tissue cancer leaving him with a grape fruit-sized tumour growing on his face.

Medics managed to cut out the cancerous tumour, but his body rejected multiple attempts to rebuild it.

But after a year of living with exposed flesh, top surgeon Dr Kongkrit Chaiyasate heard about Mr McGrath's plight, he agreed to help him using skin from his leg and forearm to reconstruct his face.

Mr McGrath, from Michigan, is now enjoying every opportunity he is given and the reconstruction work on his face will continue in 2018.

He said: 'After the operation to remove the tumour I was heartbroken, I didn't realise that half of my face would be taken away and it wasn't until I went to Dr Chaiyasate that I start to feel real hope again.

Juchii:
Don't try this at home oo

Lol

krattoss:
u know what caught my attention?

a protester got injured, he was still carried by the medics team for treatment. ..

and am hear thinking....WHEN NAIJA GO REACH THIS LEVEL?

Here, they will re-injure him.

What i cant explain is how they mobilize themselves within few hours.

While some countries will announce a date months ahead for a peaceful protest and will still not hold.

Protesters say the G20 has failed to solve many of the issues threatening world peace, including climate change, worsening inequality and violent conflicts.
