HealthWhat!!! Scientists Say Smelling Farts Prevents Cancer by massmediang(op): 1:21pm On Mar 11, 2018
This sounds unbelievable but scientists are saying that the smelly fowl gas which comes out of your butt as you fart can cure several diseases, including cancer. So when next someone releases from the butt, no matter the sound or deadly smell, keep your nose close because the gas prevents cancer.

This is not a hoax. Scientists out of the University of Exeter believe that smelling farts actually prevents cancer, among other diseases.

“Although hydrogen sulfide gas”—produced when bacteria breaks down food—”is well known as a pungent, foul-smelling gas in rotten eggs and flatulence, it is naturally produced in the body and could in fact be a healthcare hero with significant implications for future therapies for a variety of diseases,” Dr. Mark Wood said in a university release.

Although the stinky gas can be noxious in large doses, scientists believe that a whiff here and there has the power to reduce risks of cancer, strokes, heart attacks, arthritis, and dementia by preserving mitochondria.

Researchers are even coming up with their own compound to emulate the smell’s health benefits.

“We have exploited this natural process by making a compound, called AP39, which slowly delivers very small amounts of this gas specifically to the mitochondria,” Professor Matt Whiteman, of the University of Exeter Medical School said. “Our results indicate that if stressed cells are treated with AP39, mitochondria are protected and cells stay alive.”

So instead of getting upset the next time you catch a whiff… be thankful.

Fantastic Delicacy! Cockroaches Are Edible and Healthy to Eat, Find Out Why You Should Eat Them
You may be wondering why in the world someone should sit down and start eating cochroaches with a smile on his face. Well there is scientific proof that cockroaches are not just edible but healthy to eat. In fact, eating coach roach could improve bacterial infections resistance in your body. Researchers found powerful antibiotic properties in the brains of cockroaches which would help treat multi-drug resistant bacterial infections.

In some countries not all insect most especially cockroach are considered as food source. But there are so many other countries that do not joke with cockroach as a special delicacy; most especially in Asia. China is even going extra miles to breed them. Cockroach farms are thriving business in China.
In 2010 a study conducted by the School of Veterinary Medicine and Science showed that the powerful antibiotic properties in the brains of cockroaches which would help treat multi-drug resistant bacterial infections. According to the study, the tissues of the brain and nervous system of the cockroach can kill more than 90% of MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus) and Pathogenic Escherichia without harming human cells.
Also cockroaches are good sources of daily protein when consumed. If cockroaches are plentiful and cheap, and also tasty, why shouldn’t they be eaten? It only makes sense. For most people, it’s just a matter of getting over your pre-existing hangups about cockroaches being dirty and disgusting. However, this may prove to be quite a high hurdle, indeed, for some.

So cockroaches are edible and healthy to eat provided they are cooked very well to kill the bacteria germs present in them. Usually this is accomplished by frying the roaches in vegetable oil, which also gives them a crunchy and crispy texture. Those who eat it say particular specie called the giant Madagascar hissing cockroach tastes like chicken when prepared well. The giant Madagascar hissing cockroach is a well known species of edible cockroach. Supposedly the taste of the hissing cockroach is reminiscent of greasy chicken.

Science/TechnologyThe World's First Flying Car You Can Buy Is Now Taking Orders (video) by massmediang(op): 2:27pm On Mar 07, 2018
A Dutch firm has unveiled the world’s first flying car that you can buy at the Geneva International Motor Show in Switzerland.

The vehicle is called the PAL-V 1 (Personal Air and Landing Vehicle).

Dutch firm PAL-V revealed its final production model Tuesday and is now taking pre-orders for the car/aircraft on its website.

PAL-V said the first delivery will be made in 2019 once the production model has received final safety certifications.

The firm claims the two-person vehicle has a top road speed of about 100 miles per hour (mph) while it can reach 112 mph in the air. With a maximum altitude of 11,000 feet, the air range is estimated to top out at around 350 miles.

Transforming from road to air isn’t quite as simple as pushing a button, requiring manual intervention, but Pal-V claims this can be done in less than 10 minutes.

The first limited edition model will retail at an expected 499,000 euros ($621,500) with only 90 available for sale. Thereafter a “Liberty Sport Edition” will be available for an expected price of 299,000 euros.
Flying lessons are included in the price and the company’s website is taking orders tied to hefty non-refundable reservation fees.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRRnXq41UV4
The flying car is certified to fly under the rules of U.S. and European safety agencies but owners will need a pilot’s licence. Pilots will also need access to a small airstrip to take off and land.

FamilyMost Expensive Toothpick In The World Costs N180k For Only One,but It’s 18k Gold by massmediang(op): 5:31pm On Mar 05, 2018
This story is not just for the wealthy but for all those who are naturally classy. Toothpicks are very essential especially after eating but classy people don’t use any kind of toothpick. They could go for the one discussed here by luxurysafe’s blog.com. This one is very special. It is 18k gold and it costs $500 (about N180,000) just for one. When you put this in your mouth it does far more than an ordinary toothpick. It definitely makes you feel different.

It is very luxury,also very expensive…….toothpick. It may sound funny, unless you know that the price of this toothpick is $500 (about N180,000) and it is made from 18k gold. Lets find out more information about the most expensive toothpick.

Sometimes, the conclusion of a particularly fine meal might leave you with the inevitable nasties stuck between your teeth, or even your diamond-encrusted dentures.With its glistening mirrored finish and its exquisite, solid gold glory, this bespoke gem makes tooth-picking slightly less horrifying. Indeed, why ruin the conclusion of a fine meal with the awkward scraping of disposable wooden toothpicks, when you can do it in style with this 18K solid gold one?
Handcrafted in USA, the toothpick is one of many solid gold creations by The House of Solid Gold, the brainchild of master designer Hugh Power. His self-explanatory label desires to produce one-of-a-kind works of art whose rarefied beauty, or sometimes pure extravagance, are elevated by the most exquisite gemstones, pearls and rare metals.

Even if not for functional purposes, the 60mm toothpick makes for a grand little side deco on the dining table, where you can choose to display it in a super exclusive 3-dimensional floating frame, or a customary toothpick holder – which both accompanies this exquisite tool.

HealthWeird! See How Native Doctor Uses Keke To Advertise His Powers by massmediang(op): 6:39am On Mar 05, 2018
A Nigerian man identified as Chief Sir Dr. Man Pass Man, seems not to bother about the nature of his business as a native Doctor and is using his Keke to let the public know how powerful he is. The Keke was spotted in Owerri, Imo State Capital, along Ama JK Road, with passengers inside. The passengers may not be aware of what was hanging on the back of the Keke.

Hanging on the back of the Keke is the carcass of a dead fowl. Also on the back of the Keke is written Chief Sir Dr. Man Pass Man, ‘Ogwo Oree’ (which means any medication he prepares works). He also wrote his phone number on the Keke. The man was dressed in a Chief’s attire, showing he is a titled man or so he wants his potential customers to believe.

What do you think about this man’s ‘creativity’?

See Modern Shrine in Awka Where the Deity Rejected Air Conditioner, Insisting on Natural Air
A newly built shrine house in Awka, Anambra State has been designed without an air conditioner, to suit the taste of the idle that will occupy it. Note that it is common in Awka to see shrine houses in the middle of residential areas.
This particular shrine house is located close to a major hospital in the state. Stories have it that while the shrine house was being constructed, the worshipers of the shrine opted to put an air conditioner in the shrine to ensure a cozy environment for the god that will occupy the building. But the god sent a message across to worshipers that there was no need for an air conditional. The deity, it was gathered, preferred to stay in a place without air condition so the building just has windows and doors.

HealthMost Expensive Condom In The World– Louis Vuitton Condom– Costs N24k For One by massmediang(op): 4:02pm On Feb 05, 2018
The Most Expensive Condom in the World – Louis Vuitton Condom – Costs N24,000 for Just One
This is the World’s Most Expensive condom. It costs $68 (about N24,000) to get only one. It is a Louis Vuitton condom. Note that Louis Vuitton is one of the biggest and most profitable luxury brands on the planet. This brand is popular for designer bags, shoes, jewelry and other personal effects. But the brand now sells condoms. For six consecutive years (2006–2012), Louis Vuitton was named the world’s most valuable luxury brand. Also, The 2016 Best Global Brand Report named Louis Vuitton the world’s most valuable luxury fashion brand. It was also ranked number one in this category by Forbes in 2017. So Louis Vuitton condom is a classy affair.
But wait a minute, there was more to this condom brand which you need to note. The proceeds go to The Foundation For AIDS Research. So you see, when one is sold, the Foundation For AIDS Research gets the proceeds, though some people have why someone cannot just send the money straight to the Research agency instead of having to buy a condom first.

Following the Ministry of Happiness and Marriage Fulfillment, including his insistence that many Nigerians were unhappy, Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, has recommended that ‘Happiness 101’ be introduced as a course in tertiary institutions in Nigeria.

Okorocha said this in an interview with Vanguard newspapers while explaining the reason behind creation of Ministry of happiness in the state.

He suggested that “Happiness 101” should be introduced as a course in the country’s educational curriculum.

“I am elected governor to guarantee the happiness of the people. Even the American constitution was created for the pursuit of happiness.

“I have realised that 89 percent of Nigerians are not happy.

“The ministry of happiness is the number one ministry that every government in the world should establish before establishing any other ministry because it reflects the essence of life, the essence of government.

“Some went to research on it only to discover they have it in Dubai and other countries.

“Even my own type of happiness is more spiritual and in-depth than those ones.

“In fact, there should be a course in the primary, secondary and even university called Happiness.

“Yes, Happiness 101. You know why? Because, sometimes, you can be rich and not happy”, he said.

Christianity EtcAustralian Probe Blames Celibacy Ban On Catholic Clergy For Child Abuse by massmediang(op): 10:54pm On Dec 15, 2017
Religion! Australian Probe Blames Celibacy Ban on Catholic Clergy for Child Abuse, Says Priests Should be Allowed to Marry, Some Confessions to Priests Should Be Reported to Police
An Australian inquiry into child abuse on Friday recommended that the Catholic Church lift its demand of celibacy from clergy and clarify the extent that the seal of the confession conceals evidence of child abuse.

Australia’s Royal Commission into Institution Responses to Child Sexual Abuse delivered its final 17-volume report and 189 recommendations following a wide-ranging investigation. Australia’s longest-running royal commission — which is the country’ highest form of inquiry — has been investigating since 2012 how the Catholic Church and other institutions responded to sexual abuse of children in Australia over 90 years.

The report heard the testimonies of more than 8,000 survivors of child sex abuse. Of those who were abused in religious institution, 62 percent were Catholics.

“We have concluded that there were catastrophic failures of leadership of Catholic Church authorities over many decades,” the report said.

Recommendations include that the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference request that the Vatican consider introducing voluntary celibacy for clergy.

The bishops’ body should also request clarity on whether information received in the confessional that a child has been sexually abused is covered by the seal of secrecy and whether absolution of a perpetrator should be withdrawn until the perpetrator confesses to police.

Catholic clerics who testified to the royal commission gave varying opinions about what if anything a priest could divulge about what was said in a confessional about child abuse.

The commission’s recommendations, which with interim reports total 409, include making failure to report child abuse a criminal offense. Clerics would not be exempt from being charged.

Pope Francis’s former finance minister, Cardinal George Pell, testified in a video link from the Vatican in 2016 about his time as a priest and bishop in Australia. Pell this year became the most senior Catholic official to face sex offense charges.

Through his lawyers, Pell has vowed to fight the charges of sexual assault offenses.

The commission found that the church’s responses to complaints and concerns about clerics in Australia were “remarkably and disturbingly similar.”

President of the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference, Archbishop Denis Hart, said the commission “would have significant impact on the way the Catholic Church and others operate in Australia.”
He said the bishops would put to the Vatican the recommendations on celibacy and the confession.

“The seal of the confessional, or the relationship with God that’s carried through the priest and with the person, is inviolable. It can’t be broken,” Hart told reporters.

Hart apologized for the church failing children in the past.

Catholicism is the largest denomination in majority-Christian Australia.

CrimeLorry Driver Kills Man While Watching Pornography On His Phone by massmediang(op): 3:24pm On Dec 15, 2017
A lorry driver watching pornography on his mobile phone while driving has killed a motorist when he veered onto the hard shoulder and crashed into his truck, a court heard.

Former soldier Felix Gillon has been jailed for eight years after being convicted of causing the death of Kerry Pemberton by dangerous driving on May 3 last year.

The 56-year-old had looked up “porn star candy love” just four minutes before the collision, and a further 25 webpages were accessed just after – including pornographic images and galleries.

Witnesses to the incident saw Gillon drift in and out of the hard shoulder between two and four times on the M69 southbound carriageway at around 3.13pm.
Gillon’s Scania vehicle then struck Mr Pemberton’s Iveco lorry, with the 55-year-old eventually being crushed against the safety barrier.

Mr Pemberton, of Birmingham, had survived the initial impact but was trapped under wreckage.

He was eventually freed by firefighters but died of a heart attack in the ambulance on the way to hospital.

Gillon had been spotted by an off-duty officer, throwing his phone away after the incident in order to dispose of the incriminating evidence.

The former Army sergeant, of Bedworth, Warks, was also disqualified from driving for eight years.

Mr Justice Haddon-Cave, sentencing at Leicester Crown Court, said: “You told a series of lies to seek to cover your tracks but the jury saw through it all.”

He said Gillon had “carefully, deliberately and surreptitiously” disposed of his phone after the incident.

The judge added: “You have privately expressed remorse but it would have been better demonstrated in criminal proceedings.”

In a victim impact statement, Mr Pemberton’s partner Cheryl, said: “His death has been the truly hardest time for all of us.

“I just sit and wait for him to come home every day and I am broken-hearted.

“Kerry brought me anything I wanted over the years. I miss the kiss I would get when he came home from work, the cuddles with his long, powerful arms and his smile.

“He was a very affectionate man and we all miss him dearly.”

FamilySix-year-old Boy Earns $11 Million In One Year From His You Tube Channel by massmediang(op): 11:03pm On Dec 11, 2017
The mini multi-millionaire! Six-year-old boy earns a staggering $11 Million in one year – simply by reviewing toys on his popular YouTube channel
A six-year-old boy earned an incredible $11 million in the past year, simply by reviewing toys on his hugely popular You Tube channel.
Ryan, whose last name and location within the US haven’t been made public to protect his privacy, has gained a whopping 10 million subscribers on his channel, Ryan Toys Review, since he got his start on the platform two years ago.
The little boy has now come in eighth position in Forbes’ ranking of this year’s 10 highest-paid YouTubers across the world.

With $11 million to his name, Ryan surpassed his fellow YouTube sensation Lilly Singh, who follows him closely with $10.5 million worth of revenue.
Ryan also tied with the comedy channel Smosh, originally started by Anthony Padilla and Ian Hecox, who stopped their partnership in June this year.

The boy, according to his mother, was once an avid watcher of toy reviews, especially ones that focused on Thomas The Tank Engine, before he asked to start his own channel.
‘One day, he asked me, “How come I’m not on YouTube when all the other kids are?” So we just decided—yeah, we can do that,’ his mom, who preferred to remain anonymous, told TubeFilter last year. ‘Then, we took him to the store to get his very first toy—I think it was a Lego train set—and it all started from there.

The channel, Ryan’s father said, was also a way to share bits of his son’s life with their extended family members, many of whom live outside the US.



Ryan’s father often appears in his son’s clips, which see Ryan discovering and playing with various types of toys, often while making appreciative comments.

His mother and father have also staged other types of videos, such as several food challenges and a recent vlog filmed when the family went shopping for toys to be donated.

The little boy’s most popular video, in which he unpacks a giant egg containing Pixar Cars toys, dates back to July 2015 and has gathered a staggering 801,871,504 views.

A similar clip, which sees Ryan digging into a similar egg, this time filled with Transformer toys, has been watched 80,775,886 times since it was posted that same month.

FamilyDesperate Mother Begs Good Samaritans Not To Help Her Heroin-addicted Son by massmediang(op): 11:34pm On Dec 10, 2017
A woman whose son is a drug addict begging for food in the street is pleading with people not to assist his son with money or food.

The woman, from Cardiff, said while people intend to do good by donating to her son, ‘you are actually making it more likely that he will die from his drug use.’

If people genuinely want to help those less fortunate than themselves they should give to specialist charities instead, she said.

Speaking in an anonymous interview with Wales Online, she said her son first began using drugs without her knowledge aged 13 when he was given cannabis.

Now aged 22, she said he has moved on to synthetic highs like MKAT and Spice, prescription drugs such as sleeping pills, and heroin.

While she has tried to offer him help, she said he will not acknowledge the extent of his problems and often refuses to speak with her.

The only time she can get through to him is while he is at rock bottom – without food or drugs or shelter – but the moment his short-term problems are fixed he shuts down again.

She said: ‘My son is a drug addict. Addicts need their fixes by the hour and day. They cannot think long term. They cannot face reality.

‘When you give my son clothes you are keeping him warm for that day and the next.

‘When you give my son food you are feeding him for that day and the next.

‘When you give my son money you are feeding his habit for that day and the next.
‘While you are all kindly meeting his short term fixes you are actually enabling my son to continue using drugs.

‘You are keeping the heat in his body and fuel in his tummy. This makes him feel good which then means that he can then go and take his drugs. Drug addicts have to hit rock bottom.’

There were more than 600 people believed to be sleeping rough in Wales according to government figures published back in February.

A separate report published in July showed a further 2,652 households were assessed as being homeless, with just over 1,000 of those given temporary housing.

Another 1,899 households were assessed as threatened with homelessness, with more than half given help to delay it by at least six months.

The problem of rough sleepers was most acute in Cardiff, where an estimated 313 were living on the streets, but only 168 spare beds were available.

AutosNigerian Man Arrives Anambra With ‘aircraft’ That Also Travels On Land And Water by massmediang(op): 7:46am On Dec 06, 2017
Call it local technology or hightech invention, Durojaye Kehinde Obasanjo has made a mark that requires attention. The Lagosian arrived Igbariam junction, by Onitsha-Awka express way yesterday (Tuesday), in what he called an aircraft which he said also moves on land and water. According to him, the invention has already been successfully tested on land and water; what remains was for it to fly.

“It took me two months to construct this air Craft single handedly. It has been tested and it can travel a long distance which I have proved by traveling from Lagos to Igbariam. I did not acquire any formal education to create air Craft and believe that Nigerians that acquired formal education can do better,” he said.

View: This is something encouraging. Those who would like to test-run the aircraft in the air with Durojaye should indicate interest so that neutral observers will join him to confirm it flies well.

Christianity EtcPFN Chairman Accuses Rochas Okorocha Of Erecting Occult Altars In Owerri by massmediang(op): 12:33pm On Dec 03, 2017
Chairman of Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), Imo State Chapter, Bishop Maxwell Korie has lambasted Governor Rochas Okorocha for what he described as the governor’s failure to give priority to welfare of Imo people, but preferring to engage in occult activities.

Bishop Korie who is the General Overseer of Life Line Assembly Church with Headquarters in Aboha, Ohi, Owerri, accused the governor of planting occult altars at various roundabouts in the state capital with a view to achieving his spiritually demonic goals in the state.
The PFN state chairman made this known today (November 3) while receiving members of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Imo State chapter who were in Life Line Assembly for a thanksgiving service to mark the end of 2017 edition of NUJ press week.

After the NUJ presented him with an Award of Excellence in Radio Evangelism, Bishop Korie who was still standing with the NUJ officials before the church congregation during an early morning service, thanked the press men for the award and suddenly exploded, condemning the developments in the state and telling the press men to go and say he said so.

“Carry my words as you go. The governor is destroying every roundabout in Owerri and planting occultic altars in them. He destroys existing roundabouts and builds his own after planting occultic altars in them. Look at the flyover that the last governor had done 60% of the work on, the governor cannot even finish it. Let him tell us one single 7 kilometer road that he has concluded and we will join him in commissioning it. We understand the President recently visited three states in the South East – Ebonyi, Enugu and Anambra but did not come to Imo State because there was no project for him to commission. Tell the governor to pay attention to the welfare of workers and pensioners. He destroyed the main market without providing alternative for those affected,” Bishop Korie said.

The Bishop warned that governor Okorocha should fulfill his mandate by leading a righteous life and providing good governance.

“I travelled to Ebonyi state recently and when we drove into Abakaliki I saw the flyovers and good roads and wept for Imo State. This is Ebonyi state that receives one of the least allocations from the Federal Government,” the Bishop added.

HealthDoctors Abandon Unconscious Man Who Had ‘do Not Resuscitate’ Tattoo On His Chest by massmediang(op): 3:13pm On Dec 01, 2017
Medical staff of a hospital have abandoned an unconscious man brought into their hospital after they found a tattoo on his chest which said “Do Not Resuscitate”.

The man’s ‘do not resuscitate’ tattoo forced Miami emergency doctors to confront the ethical conflict between a patient’s wishes and a doctor’s duty, reports Daily Mail.

The 70-year-old man was unconscious and presumably drunk, given his elevated blood-alcohol level, when paramedics brought him to the emergency room.

His pulse slowed to a worrying rate, and the doctors decided to try to save him any way, but were getting no responses, according to a case study published in the New England Journal of Medicine.

After consulting with ethicists, the doctors decided to respect the man’s tattoo, but the quandary made them aware of the need for an updated system of tracking patients’ end of life wishes.

Paramedics brought the senior to the University of Miami hospital emergency room after finding him on the street.

The man had alcohol in his system and couldn’t be roused, but none of that was terribly unusual.

‘Unfortunately, we get a lot of that kind of patient at my hospital,’ says Dr Greg Holt, one of the doctors who treated the man.

The man’s tattoo was, however, unique enough to draw Dr Holt, who was the attending physician that night, and his entire team of eight down to the emergency to see what the fuss was all about.

The man had a signed ‘do not resuscitate’ on his chest, with a line under the ‘not’ for emphasis.
