Sports / See The Exquisite F1 Cars To Hit The Track Ahead Of The New F1 Season. by ninnomedia: 1:54pm On Feb 22, 2018
HAAS VF-18

Haas remain the lone American-based outfit in Formula 1 although much of the work on their 2018 car will have been completed at their factory in Banbury, Oxfordshire. Powered by Ferrari engines, the VF-18 - the first of the 2018 cars to be revealed - will be driven by an unchanged line-up of Romain Grosjean and Kevin Magnussen. With both drivers in the final year of their existing contracts, a critical season awaits.

THE FW 41 WILLIAMS

After a deeply disappointing 2017, Williams' new car has undergone more changes than most between seasons with the team describing their new charger as 'significantly different' to its predecessor.

The FW41 is also considered to be the first car designed by Paddy Lowe, the former Williams technical chief who joined the Grove outfit exactly a year ago, long after the FW40's design had been signed off. In January, Williams became the last of the ten teams to confirm their 2018 driver line-up when they named Sergey Sirotkin as Felipe Massa's replacement.

Red Bull RB14

Unveiled in a dynamic 'launch livery' - the RB14 immediately caused a stir on its unveiling - and when it became the first of the 2018 cars to hit the track at Silverstone a week before the start of F1 testing. Stung by their slow starts in 2016 and 2017, which left them playing catch-up to Mercedes and Ferrari, Red Bull fast-forwarded the launch of the RB14...

Education / British PM, Theresa May Believes University Education Has Failed Many. by ninnomedia: 10:03am On Feb 19, 2018
British Prime Minister-Theresa May has addressed the growing inequality being propagated by the old line of thoughts regarding university education which says that ''university is the best option for all school-leavers''.

She stated this while delivering a speech challenging snobbery around skills training, she criticized the notion that technical courses are ‘for other people’s children’.

The Prime Minister also accepts that tuition fees are very high and that many graduates do not get a good return on their investment in the long term...

Education / Tips On How To Write A Good Letter Of Motivation For University Admission by ninnomedia: 9:16am On Feb 17, 2018
Many prospective international students, freemovers or exchange candidates often see the drafting of a motivational letter as a difficult task to execute in their efforts to secure admission into their institution of choice.

Yet, the importance of writing and presenting a well-documented motivational letter for admission purposes cannot be over-emphasised especially in a highly competitive admission selection process.

Many times, students fail to put in adequate thoughts and energy when writing a motivational letter which unknowingly to many has jeopardised their chances of securing admission into their desired university of choice.

After over 5 years of helping intending students evaluate and review their respective drafted motivational letters and seeing the common pitfalls many of them showcase in their thought process, it interests me to share with you my observations and tips on how you can sell yourseif to the admission selection committee through your motivational letter.

TIP 1: See a motivational letter as your selling point.

''The way you see something is the way you respond to it''

It is very important for prospective students to see their motivational letters as a strong selling point in their quest to securing an admission placement into their desired institution.

Much more than your good grades and academic records, the admission selection committee of top universities always show interest in evaluating students beyond their academic achievements.

Infact, it will shock many to know that a student who has no other value to showcase than good grades could get ignored for a candidate who has got a rich and more interesting non-academic experience especially in activities related to community service, volunteering and students union leadership roles....

Sports / ''to Win Ballon D'or, I Must Win Everything''-eden Hazard by ninnomedia: 8:43am On Oct 14, 2017
Eden Hazard has downplayed his chances of winning the Ballon D’or after making the final 30 shortlist released during the international break and equally noted he is not obsessed about winning the top player award.

The Belgian international since moving to Chelsea football club in 2012 has consistently delivered impressive performances, helping his team win two Premier League titles in three seasons and notching at least a decade of goals every season.

Speaking with Soccer Saturday ahead of Chelsea’s trip to their London neighbours-Crystal Palace, the 26-year old Belgian revealed his thoughts on making the final 30.

Source:http://ninnomedia.com/to-win-ballon-dor-i-must-win-everything-eden-hazard/

"I have no chance [of winning]. I think a lot of players are better than me but I am happy to be in the last 30 players. I know I am on this list because I play for Chelsea and because I play with great team-mates. They help me every week to be on this list," he added.

"I don't know if in the future I can have the chance to win the Ballon d'Or but it is not my objective now. My objective is to play and to enjoy myself on the pitch.

The former Lille player also took time to pay tributes to Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo’s consistency in the last 10 Ballon d’or editions, which has seen the La Liga stars share the award.

"For the last 10 years, it has always been Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo, but Neymar is coming and a couple of others so we will see when Messi and Ronaldo stop playing, maybe we have a better chance but for the moment, it is not in my head.

"We have more chance to win the Ballon d'Or if we win everything. I think this year, Ronaldo deserved it because he won with Portugal, he won the Champions League, he won La Liga. If one day I want to win, I just have to win everything. Nice and simple!

"After the game [against Cyprus], it was something good. Me and Thorgan were just happy, not just to score, but also to play together. It is something good for me, for my family and for him."

Sports / Arrigo Sacchi Admits He Saw Signs Of Managerial Success In Conte Since 1992 by ninnomedia: 8:50am On Oct 12, 2017
‘’Antonio Conte was always destined to be a coach; he took notes of my training sessions with the Italy team in the mid-1990s. His success is based on grit, hunger and obsession’’-Arrigo Sacchi

These were the words of the highly successful Italian tactician about Chelsea manager-Antonio Conte; who not only coached great clubs in Italy to domestic and European successes but also tutored players under his guidance at that time to become equally successful coaches after their playing careers.

Arrigo Sacchi, who transformed Italian football with AC Milan in the late 1980s, revealed this statement while granting an exclusive interview to UK’s Sportsmail about the subject of what makes his Italian prodigies special in football management?

The man who managed the likes of Juventus and AC Milan revealed that the Chelsea manager ranks amongst the best products from the popular Italian football management school of Coverciano because of the passion he transmits to his players both in training and during matches of what he conclusively described as an ‘Obsession’.

The former Juventus manager has left many Premier League big clubs and managers bewildered during his first season in England after he inspired his team to obtain a massive 93 points enroute to winning the Premier League title in his first season in charge of Chelsea and helping them return to European football this season after missing out the previous season having finished on a miserable 10th spot on the log.

So far, although his team’s performance has somewhat been less impressive in the league, however, it will be a suicidal move for any title rival to conclude that the Chelsea team steered by the Italian has lost its mojo.

Education / Breaking News: Prof H.thaler Awarded The 2017 Nobel Economics Prize by ninnomedia: 11:17am On Oct 09, 2017
Richard H. Thaler has been awarded the 2017 Nobel Prize in Economics for his contributions to behavioral economics, according to reports.

Commenting about the newly awarded Thaler, the Royal Academy Swedish Academy noted that Prof H.Thaler of the University of Chicago
“has incorporated psychologically realistic assumptions into analyses of economic decision-making”

“By exploring the consequences of limited rationality, social preferences, and lack of self-control, he has shown how these human traits systematically affect individual decisions as well as market outcomes.”

Last year’s Nobel economics prize went to Harvard University’s Oliver Hart and Bengt Holmstrom of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for their work on contract theory and its role in shaping everything from executive pay to public sector privatizations.

Previous laureates have included Milton Friedman, James Tobin, Paul Krugman and Friedrich August von Hayek.

Sports / Details Of Conte’s Pre-match Conference Today...on Costa, Injury Updates And Mor by ninnomedia: 3:30pm On Aug 18, 2017
Chelsea manager-Antonio Conte addressed assembled media at the club’s Cobham training centre at lunchtime this afternoon ahead of his team’s trip to Tottenham’s temporary homebase-The Wembley Stadium.

The manager responded to different questions ranging from injury updates on Tiemoue Bakayoko and Eden Hazard, possilibility of David Luiz starting as a midfielder against Spurs and expectedly, he did not mince words about the future of Diego Costa at the club.

The Blues manager kicked-off by stating the obvious concerning the shrink outlook of the Chelsea squad ahead of the trip to Spurs…

‘’You know very well our situation after these two red cards. We are preparing very well and must be focused on the pitch, on the game to do our best to not find an excuse. It can happen to receive two red cards, they miss the next game but a club like Chelsea must be ready for this situation.’’

‘’I am not worried about this. For sure at this moment it is not simple, not easy, but we must be strong to face this situation. I repeat it is important not to find an excuse about this moment. It’s important to work, everyone give 150 per cent.’’

He continued by giving updates on injury and fitness of his players like Eden Hazard and Tiemoue Bakayoko respectively…
‘’Hazard is improving, but to be fully fit we must have patience and do the best for him.

About Bakayoko, he is improving very well he is not at the top of physical condition. But I think he can be in contention for the game, because I don’t have another midfielder. Pedro has trained with us today; he had pain in his ankle.

I don’t know if he is available on the bench. Bakayoko, his situation is not easy at the moment; it could force me to make a different decision. At this moment some players don’t have 100 per cent.

Also Morata is another player to continue to work to. We have to find the right solution; I have to face a difficult situation. Bakayoko could be in contention, why not’’?

Funnily, after throwing subtle jibes during the pre-season at his London rival during the pre-season; Antonio Conte reserved some compliments for Tottenham’s boss-Mauricio Pochettino for the good ‘base’ he has established for the team.

I think they are doing a great job in this year; Pochettino is doing a great job. He has built a great base, foundation for his club.

We must do the same, we don’t have these bases. We must try to do the same. I have great respect for Tottenham; they are doing a great job They are challenging for the title. I have great respect for their job, I want to help my club to build the same solid foundation, we don’t have this.

We need time to work, to improve. I thought this season would be difficult, we lost a lot of strong players that built a strong base. Terry, Mikel, Ivanovic, and now we need to find the right way to build and it’s right to know we must have patience to build for the future. We have to work very hard’’

As ever, the Premier League winning manager gave more insights into the transfer activities at the club as the summer transfer window winds down.

‘’I think that my task is to work with my players, to improve my team and players.

This is my task; I know that the club is working to try to do the best in the transfer market.

I have to continue with my players, to try to improve the team. Then at the end of the transfer market I will be very happy’’.

Antonio Conte was more cautious while responding to the possibility of starting both Alvaro Morata and Michy Batshuayi upfront on Sunday. The manager revealed his intentions;

‘’I think everything is possible, but then I have to think that there is a game, the game has 95 minutes and I must have to find the solution to change the game, with different options. I have to try to think to bring on the bench the possibility to change the game’’.

The Italian was evasive in providing answers to whether he regrets sanctioning the sale of Chalobah and Loftus-Cheek?

Interestingly, he gave a biggest hint on his possible midfield options on Sunday and revealed his admiration for the versatility of David Luiz who once could also start as a midfielder on Sunday against Spurs…

‘’I am trying different solutions, to find the right characteristics to play in this role. I am not worried about this; I tried to transfer this concept to my players. I am sure we are ready’’

In the past he played in the midfield, I prefer him to play central defence. We are trying to find a different solution. He is a player to play in different solutions, it is a pleasure to have this sort of player’’.

The Chelsea gaffer revealed that Christensen is ready to play for Chelsea and also registered his gladness to see the former Chelsea loanee’s performance against Burnley last timeout…

‘’I trust him; he is a player ready to play for Chelsea. I trust Christensen. Last week he played a good game, he can improve a lot. For sure he is a good prospect to be a Chelsea player. He had two years with Borussia Monchengladbach’’.

He ended his press conference by dropping some words to the Chelsea fans…

‘’I can tell the only thing that we are working very hard to try to do the best for the club. Football is not good to try to create the illusion. The only words thought that I can tell our fans is that we are working very hard for the players to have a good season. You know very well there are situations that you can’t control’’.

Sports / Is There A 'god' Of Soccer That Ascertain Football Outcomes? by ninnomedia: 6:29pm On Aug 17, 2017
The round-leather game is arguably the most watched sport on the planet and since its inception has amassed a lot of die-hard followers.

From the FIFA World-Cup to the European Cups; football has not only changed a lot of lives amongst the global youth, it has equally succeeded in uniting global citizens beyond the limitations of race, languages, religion or traditions.

Infact, it is no gainsaying to affirm that football is increasingly becoming a religion amongst its myriad of passionate followers.

This hypothetical statement of whether truly football is a religion cannot be overemphasised, considering the quantum of passionate followers that view a typical football match-whether a national team organised friendly or competitive club game.

Forgetting the hazards and tragic incidents that have been witnessed both on the pitch and off it, the round-leather game positive obviously outweighs its negatives.

Throughout a lifetime, football offers so many euphoric moments and undying memories that unleash good vibes amongst spectators.

For spectators, it is gratifying to be on the winning side and most often; the feeling is surreal when your club or national team secure silverware or accomplish a feat during or after a competition.

However, right from the birth of the round-leather game, one thing beats the imaginations of the non-football freak, and that is; what value does the sport bring to the table of its die-hard followers?

Honestly, ask many passionate fans this simple question, you will only find response that would at best keep you more confused. This is because most football enthusiasts have got little or no affirmative answer as to why they so much enthusiastically keep faith to supporting their clubs and national teams at various competitions from time to time. For many of them, Football is a religion which they so much adore.

Besides that, global fans of the sport spend fortune to see a football fixture; many places unimaginable funds on a bet to predict possible outcomes of a football encounter while though sounds unbelievable, many offers prayers to the ‘God of Soccer’ to help them triumph over an opponent.

Moreover, many philosophers have posited that peradventure there is a ‘God of Soccer’ that negotiates the outcome of a football match or is it that football’s outcome is a resultant effect of good preparation, skills and financial might to get the best players on board?

Whatever your personal view about the foregoing, one thing I have keenly observed over 2 decades of watching the sport, the outcome of a football match is the summation of not only the mentioned factors but more importantly, the luck factor.

Hold on a minute before criticizing that football outcomes renege on luck or chance.

To buttress my view, you will agree that unplanned events do occur before, during and after a match fixture that rightly influences possible outcomes. These events could be an injury suffered by an important player, suspensions for disciplinary reasons, giving of matching orders during the match and the likes.

All these incidents are unpredictable but do occur. Most often than not, when a team is a beneficiary of any, the chance of winning is more rather than a team being on the victim side.

In a nutshell, football is a beautiful game, though no spectator can correctly explain or quantify the tangible benefits that the game brings to them individually or collectively, one thing stands sure; Football unites the World!

Sports / Chelsea Board To Meet With Conte Today To Convince Him On Diego Costa's Recall by ninnomedia: 12:37pm On Aug 07, 2017
Chelsea executives are set to hold a crucial meeting with Chelsea manager-Antonio Conte with the focus on discussing Diego Costa’s future at the club after yesterday’s FA Community Shield defeat to Arsenal at the Wembley Stadium.

The Spanish international has been banished from the rest of the Blues squad since the commencement of pre-season activities and his future has been in limbo since Antonio Conte reaffirmed to the Brazilian born striker during the summer holidays that his future does not lie at the Stamford Bridge.


Although the club has supported the managers’ decision until now, but yesterday’s game against Arsenal showcased that the Chelsea new two frontman has a lot to do before getting near what Diego Costa brings to the Chelsea team.....

Sports / Frank Lampard Joins Bt Sports As Pundit by ninnomedia: 5:10am On Aug 03, 2017
Chelsea Legend-Frank Lampard has joined BT Sports as a pundit and will make his debut for the broadcaster at the Community Shield.

Lampard will join other BT Sports pundits to provide insight into the Premier League, FA Cup, Champions League and Europa League matches.
'I'm delighted to be joining BT Sport,' said Lampard, who will kick-off his official pundit role during Chelsea community shield encounter against Arsenal at the Wembley Stadium.

'I'm looking forward to an exciting new season both here and in Europe and can't wait to begin working with the team.'

The 39-year-old last summer announced his official retirement from competitive football after leaving his last club-New York City last year. However, he did work briefly for Sky Sports as a pundit last season.

Meanwhile, BT acknowledged that the former Chelsea midfielder did have many offers from elsewhere before joining the broadcaster.

Simon Green, head of BT Sport, said: 'It's no secret that Frank had many offers, both within the game and elsewhere, following his retirement, so we are absolutely thrilled that he has chosen to join the team at BT Sport.

'Frank needs no introduction as a Chelsea and England legend and he has already shown in his first appearances as a broadcaster that he is going to be a shrewd and insightful expert.

'Frank's incredible pedigree on the field means that he'll regularly be commenting on a competition that he's won as a player, which we believe gives him fantastic credibility.'

Sports / New Striker: Statistics That Could Influence Chelsea’s Choice by ninnomedia: 9:19am On Jul 18, 2017
The Premier League Champions are stalked in the middle of this summer transfer market as they desperately search for a proven replacement for the ‘unwanted’ Diego Costa.

So far, the London club has been reportedly linked with a move for some prolific European strikers and has seen Manchester United hijack their most preferred option-Romelu Lukaku who joined Manchester United in a £75million transfer deal. Other notable names include Andrea Belotti, Alvaro Morata, Pierre Emerick Aubameyang, Gonzalo Higuain, Christian Benteke and most recently Sergio Kun Aguero.

The club transfer activity this summer suggests a clear direction of where the club is heading to for the 2017/2018 Premier League campaign, having already completed three signings so far, with a goalkeeper, midfielder and defender.

However, for a club like Chelsea, it is a priority for the club to secure an A-list striker that would come in and get going from the onset. The decision and final choice outcome of Chelsea’s new striker will definitely hinge on these statistics and more importantly, the character of the player which it’s clear will matter most to Antonio Conte after series of harsh altercations he had with Diego Costa last season.

Hence, we consider some statistics that could ultimately influence Chelsea's choice as they navigate through the transfer market in search of a new striker.

THE ASKING PRICE AND AGE FACTOR: The London Blues are well known for being audacious in their transfer market dealings over the past decade. In 2011, the club paid a whopping transfer fee of £50million to Liverpool for Fernando Torres which was at that time a British record transfer fee for any player in history.

However, Chelsea appears to have been less desperate but more calculative in getting their top targets and it is expected that in this new adventure for a new striker, the club will not pay overboard for a 29-year old striker like Gonzalo Higuain even though he is guaranteed to deliver goals instantly.

EXPERIENCE AND CONSISTENCY: Chelsea is well known to fancy strikers that show on their profile top experience in the top European leagues and especially in the Champions League competition. Reviewing the names that have been linked with the club so far, only Andrea Belotti {23} and Christian Benteke {27} lacks a European competition experience. Hence, the possibility of the club settling for either of these two strikers is very low if at all there is any.

ABILITY TO DELIVER INSTANTLY: Gone are the days when the London club is known for bringing in strikers that commanded huge transfer fees and wage bills without getting a value that commensurates with what the club sacrificed to get them on board. Andriy Shevchenko and Fernando Torres are enlisted in this category.

Hence, it is definitely going to be seen that the Premier League champions will secure a striker that will hit the ground running, rather than a striker whose productivity will leave much of a doubt to the Chelsea fans.

CHARACTER AND GOOD BEHAVIOUR: Oooh, weird? Antonio Conte's decision to jettison Diego Costa despite the Spanish international netting 20 goals to help the Italian secure his first silverware last season.

Hence, it only makes sense to establish that Antonio Conte will pry more into the character of any of his club's prospective acquisition[s]. Although, all the shortlisted candidates possess desired qualities that will ensure smooth working relationship with the club manager and his teammates. Like Conte once revealed to Skysports Pundit; Thierry Henry about sanctioning any player that poses like a 'hooligan'.

He established ''I prefer to 'kill' the player rather than lose the dressing room to my players! In Costa's case, that is exactly what he has done.

Sports / Pictured: Tiemoue Bakayoko Jets Off To London Ahead Of Chelsea Switch by ninnomedia: 1:16pm On Jul 11, 2017
Chelsea football club is on the verge of finalising the transfer of Tiemoue Bakayoko from Ligue 1 side-AS Monaco after the Frenchman was spotted earlier today boarding a private jet en route to London.

Pictured posing in front of the soon to be departed Jet, Bakayoko is expected to have his medicals at the club’s training centre and thereafter sign a 5-year deal.

The reigning Premier League champions are expected to cough out £35million for the 22-year old midfielder after the tall Frenchman ignored Manchester United’s late attempt to hijack his transfer to Chelsea.

This summer, the London Blues have only signed two players as Willy Caballero joined from Manchester City on a free transfer while Antonio Rudiger signed a 5-year deal after the Blues agreed on transfer fee worth £34.5million for the German international.

In addition, we understand that the Premier League champions are also keen on wrapping the transfer of Alvaro Morata from Real Madrid in a deal that could cost about £70million for the 24-year old Spanish international.

Chelsea’s revenue from player’s sales in 2017 has reached £128million and the club is still expected to sanction the sale of Diego Costa who has been declared unwanted by his club manager-Antonio Conte.

The team jets off to China for their participation in the annual International Champions Cup pre-season tournament where they have been scheduled to take on Arsenal, Bayern Munich and Juventus.

Career / Just Before You Call It Quit. by ninnomedia: 12:50pm On Jul 05, 2017
One of the banes of great success and accomplishments in life that confront humans is the reluctance to dare to take a bold step towards the direction of their dreams. You want to make a positive impact in your world; you want to become a celebrity; your want to get into the hall of fame of success; then, make that move now. Find below useful inspiring lines to gear you to becoming the best God has created you to be...


1. Don't despise the days of little beginnings, start small; begin now! So many brilliant and world-changing ideas have gone into oblivion without fruition becomes some people out there couldn't set out on the ideas from the scratch on a small scale; they were expecting all conditions to be favourable before their ideas could materialise. Great businesses, inventions, technologies and accomplishments are evident today because some people took the courage to begin small and grew the ideas into a great edifice. Don't whine about the boisterous wind of scarce resources, start small; start now!


2. I watched the animation 'Meet the Robinsons' and the key impactful word from that movie was 'keep moving forward'. That was the catch phrase of the young kid protagonist of the movie, Louis, who later turned out to become the greatest scientist and Nobel Prize-winning inventor of his generation. The number of times he failed at attempting just one invention was colossally discouraging, yet after each failed attempt, he muttered to himself, 'keep moving forward'. I believe you are like Louis in that movie, attempted so many feats and tried so many ideas but you've met the edge of failure...just keep moving forward...even in your 'failures', you'd see something precious. The inventor of the telephone, Alexander Graham Bell, was said to have something in mind to invent and failed only to stumble on the telephone as the outcome of his failed experiment.


3. It's not too late to fulfil your dream. Some believe they have wasted precious years of doing the wrong thing and that those years cannot be recovered. They feel out of their prime to begin their ideas and fulfil purpose. The yesteryears languished in waste and unfruitfulness stares discouraging eyes at them. Well, ask Colonel Sanders of KFC, at 65, he began his dream of cooking for people's delight and fulfilled his purpose. I know you've messed things all up but it's never too late to start all over again.


4. If no one encourages you, then be your own coach, manager, encouraged and fan. Not everyone will give thumbs up for approval at the mention of your ideas. Infact, it's possible for loved ones to give bad advice out of love. If you have a personal conviction of your dreams and ideas, encourage yourself. Be your own motivational speaker. Wake up every morning and tell yourself, 'I've got this', 'I can do'. Speak positively to yourself all the time...fuel of engine of determination with the oil of encouraging words. Know that prosperity never gives in to mediocrity.


5. In whatever you do, strive for mastery and excellence. Mediocrity seems to cut short great dreamers. Don't do things for 'doing' sake. If you gonna clean, be the best cleaner. If you gonna teach, be the best teacher. If you gonna blog, be the best blogger you can be and on and on. In the movie '3 Idiots' (I love movies so much) my best punchline was 'Follow excellence and success will follow you pants down'. Always strive to be excellent in your endeavour and leave the people you serve awed by your delivery.


6. Finally on this piece, I say make that move. The Bible says in Romans 8:19,...the world is earnestly waiting for our manifestation...start something today, make that call, browse that site and get information you need, learn those skills that will give you leverage for the next level, take those classes that will help you improve, keep applying for those jobs...just enjoying you are not static...an object until moves, only possess potential force of energy...set your kinetics in motion by making a move.

Romance / Consider This Before You Take That Marital Vow by ninnomedia: 9:46am On Jul 05, 2017
Bradley and Yvonne held hands before the priest as they were about to exchange marital vows before a large congregation of people. Yvonne beamed radiantly with smiles while Bradley couldn't hide his admiration of his bride as he grinned from ear-to-ear. 'Do you take this woman to be your lawful wedded wife...to love and to hold...for better or for worse...' the priest asked audibly. The couple responded in the affirmative and both were joined together in conjugal ties.


It's been two years since that memorable day and for Yvonne, she couldn't just get enough of Bradley. Their union has been the envy of their circle of friends and it all seemed like a happily-ever-after love story. Bradley would have thought the same thing as he cherished his pretty loyal wife with each passing day- they were so into each other they decided not to have kids for the first three years of marriage; such intense love, dedication and discipline.


However, all that was about to change with just one single news. Yvonne was diagnosed with cancer and another inexplicable medical condition. Doctor's report shows her condition was relatively terminal and the terrible symptoms started taking effects. Yvonne was losing her beauty...her hair shaven, her skin shrunk from time to time...she looked pale. Bradley was all she had...he was supportive, he shuttled between his lush job and home just to take care of his sick wife. Yvonne the pretty had become Yvonne the fading...

Foreign Affairs / Donald Trump's Tweet...more Than A 'covfefe' Tweet. by ninnomedia: 12:33pm On May 31, 2017
The President of the United States of America-Donald Trump threw a tweet that sparked many of his twitter followers to create cryptic and memes; the United States President created a mysterious tweet which established a new word ‘COVFEFE’.

After checking the meaning that created curiosity from language experts, Merriam-Webster, the dictionary that has become one of Donald Trump's most prominent and unlikely critics, had to make clear that it didn't know what the word meant.

Nonetheless, taking a more open mind towards what might be on the mind of the most powerful man in the world, he could be trying to write the word "coverage" when he wrote "covfefe". Not only does it feature the same first three letters and fit neatly into the phrase "negative press coverage", it's one of Donald Trump's favourite words.

More seriously, linguists think that Donald Trump could possibly have created a new word into the existing vocabularies, going by the rate at which people of the world connected with the word to create funny statements and memes.

Andrew Griffin of ‘The Independent’ revealed that the President could probably have become flustered with writing a word that he has had to type repeatedly in recent months, and frustrated bashed his keyboard before hitting the send button.

However, regardless of the view of many about the error that the ‘auto-correct’ system on the US President’s iPhone (-source from which the tweet was sent), the fact remains that the Billionaire US President is loaded with lots of ‘vocabs’ even though some of his words are ‘error created’ ones.

The Brazilian sensation has played a peripheral part in Chelsea's campaign so far after he lost his first team start to in-form Spanish winger-Pedro Ledesma.

Sports / How Reza Parastesh Turned Himself Into Lionel Messi's 'look-alike' by ninnomedia: 3:47am On May 09, 2017
Truthfully, quite a number of Lionel Messi fans would not just wish to possess his footballing skill, but also would love to get a tattoo of their football icon.

Regardless of what you crave for to possess in the Argentine look, skills or profile, it wouldn’t match up with this uncanny resemblance of an Iranian student who was pictured adorning the Catalan based club jersey, although it resulted in him ‘chilling’ off with the police after he was whisked off to the police station after too many people wanted pictures with him.

What would you do if you bore a resemblance to one of the most famous footballers on Earth?

If you're like Iranian student Reza Parastesh, and you look like Lionel Messi, you don the famous Barcelona No.10 jersey and walk about town.

Unfortunately for Parastesh, 25, the police in Hamadan had to impound his car and take him into the station to quell the stir caused when the lookalike self-dubbed the "Iranian Messi" prompted too many people to stop him for photos over the weekend.

According to him, he got the idea from his dad a few months ago, after Parastesh’s father asked him to pose in a replica Messi jersey. This idea ultimately led to Parastesh styling his hair both facial and on his head — like the Argentine superstar...
