The truth will come out soon.

Why are you guys encouraging moral decadence in society?

We all know that this chatting is about sexting and stripping yourself naked in front of the camera to the pleasures of lonely and old American men and women.

The question you and the people applying for this evil job should ask yourselves is:

"What if the Americans use my nudes for other purposes like nude websites?"

After all, they paid for the service and may be entitled to use your pics and nudes to make more money on pornographic websites.

Let's not allow the love of money to become the root of evil in our lives.

When Thomas Platt, a newly retired biology professor from Saint Mary’s College, discovered a previously unknown species of parasite, he chose to name it after his fifth cousin, twice removed: President Obama.

Baracktrema obamai is a 2-inch long, thread-like, parasitic flatworm that infects the lungs of two species of freshwater turtles in Southeast Asia. The flatworm represents the discovery of not only a new species, but a new genus – the level of biological classification above species.

It's a compliment, says Dr. Platt.

"It's long. It's thin," and it's very "cool," Platt told the Associated Press, explaining why the parasite reminded him of the president. He added that Baracktrema obamai "are phenomenally incredibly resilient organisms. I hold them in awe and with phenomenal respect."

Platt has discovered more than 30 species over the course of his career studying turtle viruses, and has made a habit of naming them after people he admires, including his father-in-law and his doctoral advisor. Turtle parasites are often studied because they are believed to be related to flatworms that carry schistosomiasis.

Both the black marsh turtle and southeast Asian box turtle in which the Baracktrema obamai parasite resides are on the International Union for the Conservation of Nature's list of threatened species. Ironically, perhaps, the turtles’ endangered status makes researching their parasites more complicated.

"Like their marine counterparts ... freshwater turtles are gaining protection and obtaining higher conservation status such that examination of these hosts for parasites may become increasingly prohibited," the researchers wrote.

President Obama has emphasized conservation this summer, establishing parks and marine reserves as he shores up his his environmental legacy.

Both turtle species will come under greater protection if the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal is ratified, Politico reports, as all countries involved would be obligated to protect endangered species.

This is not the first time that the president has inspired new nomenclature. In 2012, another parasite was named Paragordius obamai after being discovered near the birthplace of Obama’s father in Kenya. Looking at somewhat larger organisms, the 44th president's name has also been bestowed upon the spider Aptostichus barackobamai, the extinct lizard species Obamadon gracilis, and the Etheostoma obama spangled darter fish, among others.

“It is a unique component of the diversity of life on this planet,” Platt told the LA Times. “Anyone should consider it an honor.”

Thanks bro...

Well done OP,There is a nigerian website for e-learning where people can also market e-courses and get paid for course sales.The website is www.macaranta.com,so as you are selling courses abroad you can also sell in Nigeria just with a little marketing and also get paid for life.

Over the past decade, the Tweet has evolved from a simple 140-character text message to a rich canvas for creative expression featuring photos, videos, hashtags, Vines, and more. In just the past few months we added the ability to poll your community, react quickly and cleverly with GIFs, and share and enjoy Periscope broadcasts in Tweets.

So, you can already do a lot in a Tweet, but we want you to be able to do even more. In the coming months we’ll make changes to simplify Tweets including what counts toward your 140 characters, so for instance, @names in replies and media attachments (like photos, GIFs, videos, and polls) will no longer “use up” valuable characters. Here’s what will change:

Replies: When replying to a Tweet, @names will no longer count toward the 140-character count. This will make having conversations on Twitter easier and more straightforward, no more penny-pinching your words to ensure they reach the whole group.
Media attachments: When you add attachments like photos, GIFs, videos, polls, or Quote Tweets, that media will no longer count as characters within your Tweet. More room for words!
Retweet and Quote Tweet yourself: We’ll be enabling the Retweet button on your own Tweets, so you can easily Retweet or Quote Tweet yourself when you want to share a new reflection or feel like a really good one went unnoticed.
Goodbye, .@: These changes will help simplify the rules around Tweets that start with a username. New Tweets that begin with a username will reach all your followers. (That means you’ll no longer have to use the ”.@” convention, which people currently use to broadcast Tweets broadly.) If you want a reply to be seen by all your followers, you will be able to Retweet it to signal that you intend for it to be viewed more broadly.

These updates will be available over the coming months. Today, we’re notifying you and our developers, so that everything works as it should when we roll these changes out. The updates have a significant impact on Tweets, so we want to provide our developer partners with time to make any needed updates to the hundreds of thousands of products built using Twitter’s API.

In addition to the changes outlined above, we have plans to help you get even more from your Tweets. We’re exploring ways to make existing uses easier and enable new ones, all without compromising the unique brevity and speed that make Twitter the best place for live commentary, connections, and conversations.
