She probably couldn't bear the loss so she decided to keep it intact in her freezer for 50 years. A woman kept the embalmed body of her baby in a box which she stocked in a freezer, and took it with her each time she moved to a new house. The embalmed baby girl was in the woman’s freezer for about 50 years and was only discovered by her son after her death. Her son, identified as Adam Smith, found the baby’s body inside his mother’s freezer while he was cleaning the apartment after her death.The woman’s son was shocked to make the discovery shortly after her death. Adam Smith said he’s known about the white cardboard box in his mother’s freezer his entire life. He assumed it held a wedding cake topper or another memento that his mother was holding onto and left it at that, he told CNN. Now that he knows what was really in the box, he said he is struggling to comprehend how she kept it to herself all these years.

See what happened after 2 strangers, 71-year-old woman and 35-year-old man, who missed Air Canada flight were asked to share room with one bed It was a nightmare for two strangers who missed their flight after they were checked into a hotel to share the night together in a room with only one bed. Jerryne Mahele Nyota of Ottawa said she was shocked when her 71-year-old mother told her that's what happened after she missed an Air Canada flight on July 19. Air Canada said in a statement that the ordeal was the result of a misunderstanding. "It is not our policy to have passengers who are not traveling together share a room," the airline said. "In this case an error was initially made allocating rooms." Mahele Nyota's mother, Elizabeth Coffi Tabu, had spent a month with her daughter and family before planning to fly back to Paris. It was a simple enough journey, with a connection in Montreal, Mahele Nyota told CNN. However, Coffi Tabu was in a wheelchair because she's recovering from cancer treatment, and a delay in the first flight meant she missed her flight to Paris.

A toddler in southwest China has miraculously survived a six-storey fall after he was caught by residents holding out a large blanket. The three-year-old boy was filmed desperately clinging onto a balcony of a high-rise building in Chongqing city's Jiulongpo district on Monday afternoon. Horrified residents quickly grabbed two large blankets and placed it below him. Nail-biting footage showed the moment when the boy lost his grip and fell. The blankets caught the falling child. China's state broadcaster CCTV reported that the toddler had no injuries. The boy had been left alone at home and woke up from a nap to find his grandmother missing, according to Shangyou News. She had went out to get groceries. In a bid to look for his grandmother, the boy had climbed on top of a sink on his balcony and tumbled over the glass railing, leaving him clinging on for life. Video filmed by neighbour Liu showed the child kicking his legs and desperately trying to pull himself up.

This woman, her husband and two children have been left with no choice but to abandon their home after heavy flooding affected the foundation of her house. The woman recently appeared in a viral video begging the state governor, Emeka Ihedioha, to come to her rescue. By then some parts of the fence of the house, including the gates were still standing. Today, the gate of the house has collapsed with the entire frontal fence, with more of the foundation of the house now exposed. She had to be forced into the street with her family. She could no longer take the risk of staying in the house as people urged her to pack out due to the fear that the building could collapse in the middle of the night. Her husband is living with disability and is also helpless. The woman has cried for days but help has not arrived yet. The house is located along Standard shoe/works/Spillbert road, Owerri Imo State. State government officials have visited the area and taken note of the destruction. But the woman and her kids are still in trouble. The erosion was caused by road construction done by the administration of Rochas Okorocha. During that administration, several existing damages were removed and replaced with poorly constructed ones which have collapsed under heavy flooding.

This is the dangerous road at Orlu/Ogboko road which massmediang has been reporting for months now. It has gotten worse and a ghastly accident has happened on that road. A truck plying the road attempted to avoid the dangerous portion of the road eaten up by erosion and fell into a ditch. The driver saw the ditch late, hit the pavement along the road, lost one of the vehicle tyres and headed straight for the ditch. The driver managed to swerve into the gutter by the road. Motorists are now plying just one potion of the road which has become very dangerous. The erosion problem is beginning to eat deeper into the second lane on the road and all motorists are plying that lane. It is getting worse and action needs to be taken before it starts swallowing cars and taking lives.

Varsity Lecturer Falls in Class, Smashes ‘Brand New’ Laptop To Demonstrate Impact of ICTs (Watch Video) A lecturer in Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University (COOU), formerly Anambra State University has played a trick on his students to show them how Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) had stolen the soul of man. The unnamed lecturer in the department of Mass Communication set his laptop on a table in front of Masters Degree students to commence his lecture. One of the students later narrated what happened. He suddenly stood up and pretended to have missed his step while attempting to sit back on his seat. As he fell he used his hand to shove the laptop on his table to the floor. The laptop shattered as it fell. The lecturer knelt before the laptop, expressing worries to further make the act look real before his students. The students were shocked. Some of them screamed and stood up to assist the lecturer who suddenly started making mockery of them for expressing more worries over the shattered computer than their teacher who fell down. One of the students had already started saying the class would replace the lecturer’s laptop without asking whether the man got injured. The lecturer explained to the students that this was the summary of what ICTs had done to the soul of man. The lecturer told them that they were more worried about the computer that got smashed because humans beings today are “Walking ICTs”. The Laptop was actually a non-functional scrap the lecturer had brought in for the act but the students never suspected it was not his original laptop which he usually used in class. The lecturer further used the scenario to teach the students the Technological Determinism theory which explains how technology has had an impact on human action and thought.

This report has been in the news for a while. It is about a major road linking Ideato North and South Local Government Areas of Imo State to Orlu town and the rest of the state. This is where Former Governor Rochas Okorocha comes from. He is precisely from Ogboko in Ideato-South LGA. The road was fixed three times in the past yet it keeps collapsing. People from Ideato area are now calling on Governor Emeka Ihedioha to fix the road to save them the hardship they would face once the entire road is cut off by erosion. The gully erosion which cut of one side of the road has started eating into the second and only part of the road plied by motorists. In the next few weeks the entire Ideato will be cut off from Orlu town and other parts of the state if nothing is done fast.

The story sounds strange but it happened in one of the state Universities in the South East where a lecturer, wearing gray hair for the special celebration, met with about 120 students of a particular class in their dream for his 10,000th quiz. Massmediang gathered that a lecturer in the Department of Mass Communication of that University known for giving countless quizzes had been keeping record of the number of quizzes he had given. The lecturer who had spent 15 years in the department, always gives quiz in every class he teaches. When the quizzes got to 9,999, he decided to celebrate the 10,000th quiz in a special way – by giving his students quiz together in their dream. It was further gathered that in the morning after the quiz, the lecture and the students met in class during his lecturer and agreed not to disclose what transpired during the dream quiz to anyone that was not in the dream class for the quiz. About 120 students were involved in the dream quiz project. According to the lecturer, “This is a historic attempt to take communication to another level. It was real. We know what we saw. We don’t want to trivialize it so we will not be discussing it with anybody for a while. That’s what ground-breaking academic adventure is all about. The students were very impressive. They followed instructions and showed utmost commitment to the academic adventure.” See details and more photos; https://massmediang.com/varsity-lecturer-celebrates-his-10000th-quiz-by-giving-students-quiz-in-their-dream-2/

Governor of Imo State, Emeka Ihedioha, has commenced removal of the iron bars which former governor Rochas Okorocha placed across the major streets of Owerri. Okorocha who is now the Senator representing Imo West constituency, used the iron bars and artificial palm trees to beautify the state capital. But Ihedioha seems to want the state capital to look different so his administration has embarked on the removal of all the iron bars across streets in the state capital. The trees are also going down one after the other. Massmediang gathered that this action by Ihedioha is coming with mixed feelings among Imo people as some of them are happy with the action while others feel that this is tax payers’ money being wasted. Some feel that Ihedioha should face more important projects while others feel that most of Rochas Okorocha’s numerous projects, including the iron bars and artificial trees are remind them of the wasted and bad governance of the past administration and should be removed.

A 63-year-old man in India who hasn’t cut or washed his hair in over 40 years has to keep his tangled 6-foot-long locks wrapped in a head cloth just to walk around without stepping on them. Sakal Dev Tuddu, a resident of Mandada village, in Eastern India’s Bihar state, claims he has been growing his hair long since he was 22. For some reason, he didn’t cut his hair for a whole year, and when he woke up one day he noticed his locks had become tangled into a ‘jatta’ (dreadlock). He considered it a blessing from the Hindu god Shiva, so from that day on he never cut or washed his hair again. Today, his impressive jatta measures around 6 feet and reaches all the way to the ground and trails behind him. To keep his hair from becoming even dirtier, Sakal keeps it wrapped in a white cloth on top of his head whenever he goes out. Ever since he started letting his hair grow, Sakal has become known as ‘Mahatma Ji’ among the people of Mandada, as a sign of deep respect. He is believed to have healing powers, and people come to him from all over India to try his home-made herbal remedies.

A handsome Saanen goat in Malaysia is the first to reach online celebrity status for looking like a Korean pop star. Ramos, an 11-month-old billy goat at Muhammad Livestock Farm in Perak, Malaysia, went viral last week after his owner posted photos of him on the farm’s Facebook page. People instantly fell in love with his blonde hairdo and goatee, and some social media users even compared his beauty to that of a K-pop star. Ramos’ owner, 21-year-old Ahmad M Fadzir, told local reporters that the handsome goat loves getting photographed and turns to pose for the camera whenever he sees one. Fadzir said that he fell in love with Ramos the moment he laid eyes on him. He was in Terengganu shopping for female goats, because goat milk had been in high demand recently, but as soon as he saw Ramos, he knew he had to have him, so he paid another farmer RM750 ($183) for him without hesitation. The proud owner started posting photos of his handsome goat on Facebook, but he was surprised by the overwhelmingly positive feedback.

Who doesn’t dream of money falling from the skies? For drivers along the I-285 west passing by Dunwoody, Georgia, dreams became reality earlier this week when about $175,000 in cash came flying out of an armored truck. But incredibly, many drivers that stopped to pick up money by the handfuls are returning them to the Dunwoody Police Department. “We’ve had seven people come in with varying amounts, from $2,100 to … $1,” Sergeant Robert Parsons of the Dunwoody Police Department told InsideEdition.com. Parsons explained that so far, they have recovered about $4,400 and are hopeful more people come forward with their findings but “we understand most of the money will never be returned. We are realistic,” Parsons said. Read details here; https://massmediang.com/honest-drivers-return-cash-after-armored-truck-spilled-175000-onto-highway/

This is the unbelievable but interesting story of Jeremiah Sullivan, a marine biologist who has been intentionally beaten by sharks over a thousand times. In fact, exposing himself in the deep sea to get beaten by sharks is part of his job and research activities. Read his explanation of why he takes such huge risk and see how odd this world can be. “I’ve been bitten thousands of times,” offers a chuckling Jeremiah Sullivan. “Been thrown around a bit. Beaten up pretty good. Nearly had my teeth knocked out. Certainly chewed on a lot.” He’s talking about sharks. Since the early ‘70s, Sullivan has been the world’s leading chronicler of human-shark interactions. A bearded, shredded-up marine biologist in his 60s, he’s taken thousands of dives, and been intentionally bitten by sharks more times than he can count in order to test his custom-designed suits of armor to protect humans from shark bites. “We’re studying human-shark interactions, and the only ones I’m interested in are those that are most accurate and realistic so that we can protect anyone who happens to be in the sea and learn the behavioral range and capabilities of these apex predators so we can conduct safer interactions,” he tells me. On the evening of July 17th, National Geographic will air the special Man vs. Shark, featuring Sullivan being intentionally bitten by a deadly, 14-foot tiger shark in order to test his latest protective gear—a composite suit built to withstand the blow from an ax. Given its saw-shaped teeth, so sharp they can easily mash through turtle shell and bone, even Sullivan found himself a tad bit nervous about the risky stunt.

A Finnish tech startup has managed to produce food mainly out of electricity and air, and is now looking to enter the market by 2021. Solar Foods, based out of the VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland and the Lappeenranta University of Technology (LUT), is currently producing one kilogram of protein-rich edible powder called Solein, per day. According to CEO Pasi Vainikka, one kilogram of Solein can feed seven to ten people their full day’s worth of protein. The Finnish startup Solar Foods came up with a way to produce a protein-rich food called Solein from electricity, water and air, by using an environment-friendly process similar to brewing beer. Described as the world’s most environmentally friendly protein, Solein is is made by applying electricity to water to release bubbles of carbon dioxide and hydrogen. Living microbes are then added to the liquid to feed on the carbon dioxide and hydrogen bubbles and produce the Solein, which is then dried to make the powder. It’a natural fermentation process similar to beer brewing, but it requires a special reactor that reportedly resembles a hurricane lantern. The dried Solein has a protein content of 50 percent and looks and tastes just like wheat flour. It can be used in all kinds of diets and can be 3D-printed for added texture.
