Crime / Capital Punishment For Rapist, If You Support Say Hi by OpeQuadri(m): 3:40pm On Sep 19, 2015
The incidence of rape is increasingly becoming alarming. We've heard a father raped his daughters, teacher raped his female students on and on like that.

Should rapist be executed right away or what do you think will be the most effective way to drastically reduce the incidence of rape in our society?

Health / Why Women’s Breasts Are Getting Bigger –study by OpeQuadri(m): 8:35am On Sep 19, 2015
Breast, a soft (rounded) protruding organ on the upper front of a woman’s body, is no doubt an important part of the female anatomy, not only for producing milk needed to feed a new born baby, although that can be enormous, its high-end advantage during sexual activities and the role it plays in the attractiveness of a woman cannot be overemphasised.

Notably, men have theirs, but it is not (always) as sizeable as those of women, and many men lust after these organs, oft making some to skip their breaths, lose concentration or even change focus on sighting them, and for most of them, the bigger, the better.


http://www.punchng.com/entertainment/saturday-breeze/why-womens-breasts-are-getting-bigger-study/

Call it an instant attention grabber for men and you may not be far from the truth. It excites them and remains a huge delight for them but it also delights its owners; women, making them feel good and sometimes enhancing their comparative advantage. And suffice it to say that it aptly qualifies as one of the most cherished (by women) and most loved (by men) parts of the female body. Such is its importance to both sexes.

Even though big breasts could be a blessing or burden for women, as big breasts have been found to have the likelihood of affecting posture and causing chronic back pain, regardless, more women seem to crave for it now than ever before.

However, it is not uncommon these days to see that women, including young girls, are becoming increasingly endowed in that region. In fact, in those days, girls used to wear vest until they approached 18 but now, bras have taken the centre stage, not just for decoration but because there is indeed something to cover, which underscores the fact that girls and women are getting bigger in that region.

Many have attributed women’s bust increase to the fact that many more women are going under the knife for breast enlargement, which has made it difficult to know which one is natural or artificial, but far from that, lifestyle and diet have been found to play a major role in bust size.

This is independent of heredity and the fact that women experience some natural variation in their breast size usually during their period (menstruation) and pregnancy period (pre and post).

An emeritus surgeon, Prof. Michael Baum, who is also an expert in breast cancer, explained that one good reason why more women are getting increased bust size is increased fat consumption, but a nutritionist, Jane Clarke told Daily Mail that people are eating more of wrong food and that all the calories people consume end up on the hips and breasts coupled with the fact that more women are now taking too much of alcohol which is highly calorific.

Another nutritionist, Dr. Marilyn Glenville, also opined that beyond fat, increase in the breast tissue levels has also been responsible for the increase in breast size. “So, we have to look at what stimulates breast tissue growth, and that is oestrogen, the female sex hormone. Oestrogen is what changes our body shape during puberty,” she added.

Glenville explained that there is a strong link between increased oestrogen levels and bigger breasts, adding that there are some breast-enhancing supplements that have made their way into some of the food people consume, making such food items have oestrogenic properties, which have impacted on their breast size. She argued further that a large chunk of the milk consumed by humans come from pregnant cows, thus the milk would be flooded with oestrogen.

She said, “It makes sense to look at the ways in which our exposure to all types of oestrogen, the hormone our own bodies produce and oestrogenic chemicals we come into contact with, has changed over the years.

“Girls today reach puberty earlier than ever before, and are going on to have fewer ¬children and breastfeeding for less time. As a result, we have far more periods than our ancestors would have had and we are exposed to more monthly surges of oestrogen, which stimulates ovulation and is also responsible for the increasing breast sizes.”

Meanwhile, a previous study, led by Dr. Karin Michels, from Harvard Medical School, had explained that young girls of nowadays are reaching puberty at an earlier age because of consumption of sugary drinks. Thus, when these girls reach puberty, they begin to show the signs, evident in their breasts and butts.

Michels said, “Our study adds to increasing concern about the widespread consumption of sugar-sweetened drinks among children and adolescents. Our study suggests that age of first menstruation (menarche) occurred earlier among girls with the highest consumption of drinks sweetened with added sugar. These findings are important in the context of earlier puberty onset among girls.”

Going by Glenville’s explanation, the fact that more girls reach puberty exposes them to more oestrogen from their young age, which tends to have its own effect on their anatomy, especially their breasts.

One other explanation for the rising size of boobs, according to experts, is the use of contraceptive pills. In a report on softpedia.com, a consultant endocrinologist, Prof. Pierre-Marc Bouloux, was quoted as saying, “There is a tendency for the pill to stimulate breast growth. However, modern versions of the pill contain far less estrogen than their older counterparts.”

Bouloux explained that there are some other products that come as consumable items, like some chewing gum, which have some oestrogenic properties that could enhance breast size, adding that certain chemicals in polluted water and industrial wastes could mimic oestrogen and produce the same boob-boosting factor in the women.

But, in the words of Dr. Joanna Scurr, a breast biomechanics expert and principal lecturer in biomechanics at the University of Portsmouth, breast sizes are increasing because of the higher proportion of fats in them, adding that junk food, tinned food, canned drinks, and plastic bottles could also be responsible, due to the xenoestrogen.

Therefore, the increase in breast sizes in recent times could be placed down to increased fat consumption by women, rising levels of breast tissue, eating junks and fatty meals, drinking sugary drinks and use of contraceptive pills, more so because breast tissue has been found to be extremely sensitive to hormones. These are independent of hereditary, menstruation and pregnancy/breastfeeding.

Commenting on the study, a medical practitioner, Dr. Rotimi Adesanya, explained that apart from increase in fat diets, use of family planning drugs are some of the things responsible for the increasing breast sizes.

He said, “The increase is due to increase in fats because breast is made of fatty tissues. So, if the fat is much in the body, definitely, the one in the breast will be much as well. So, the level of fat a person eats is an indirect proportion of the person’s breasts size. For some, it runs in the family, and for people that tend to be obese or big in size, they also tend to have a large breast.

“Also, use of hormonal drugs, such as contraceptive pills, could increase breast size. Diet is also a very important factor. The fatty diets include sugary drinks, margarines, etc., and too much of oil is not very good, and that is why we advise people to take more of fruits and vegetables.”

No gainsaying in the fact that Saraki's hands are not clean, but somebody or a cabal within the APC is behind his prosecution.

I believe this case is a way of paying him back for not following APC's dictates in the choice of president of the Senate. To APC, Saraki imposed himself on the party. To Saraki PDP members in APC clothes will safe him from the planned embarrassment APC is planning against him.

With this drama, Saraki's supporters will be a baricade to executive bills in the days and years ahead. ..to pay back whoever is behind his ordeal.

Health / Health Benefits Of Sleep As Important As Diet And Exercise By PROFKEITH by OpeQuadri(m): 6:36pm On Sep 18, 2015
Health Benefits of Sleep As Important As Diet And Exercise
by PROFKEITH


Yet again, the health benefits of sleep comes up as a major factor in anti-aging. The less sleep you get, the more your mental faculties decline. In fact, if you don’t get a regular 8 hours sleep, the magnitude of the mental decline is equal to being four to seven years older, according to new British research.
People often go without sleep, expecting to fit more into their lives. The sad truth is, you’ll end your active mental life early, if you don’t get enough sleep.
In fact, women who slept seven hours per night had the highest score for every cognitive measure, followed by those who had six hours of sleep. For men, cognitive function was similar for those who reported sleeping six, seven or eight hours.
However, less than six hours of sleep — or more than eight hours — were associated with lower scores.

It’s not rocket science: our bodies and brains needs rest and time to recover from the wear-and-tear of the day.
Sleep provides the body with its daily need for physiological restitution and recovery. While seven hours a night appears to be optimal for the majority of human beings, many people can function perfectly well on regular sleep of less or more hours.
Unfortunately, it will cost you, if you decide to clip the recovery process at night.
Chronic short sleep produces hormones and chemicals in the body which increase the risk of developing heart disease and strokes, and other conditions like high blood pressure and cholesterol, diabetes and obesity.
According to Dr. Alberto Ramos, co-director of the Health Sleep Medicine Program and an assistant professor of clinical neurology at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, various studies have shown sleeping too little or too much increases the risk of dying, having a heart attack or stroke and other health problems.
“Getting enough sleep helps many brain functions,” Ramos said. “It is restorative, it lets you concentrate better and process new information better and faster.”
It is not clear why too much sleep may be unhealthy, Ramos said. However, he speculates, it may be a sign of other health problems.
To stay healthy, the health benefits of sleep are as important as eating well and being physically active. We have to think of sleep the same way as we think about diet and exercise.

Health / Now People Who Have Never Smoked Are Getting Lung Cancer by OpeQuadri(m): 6:20pm On Sep 18, 2015
Now People Who Have Never Smoked Are Getting Lung Cancer as written by Prof. Keith Scott-Mumby
The Official Alternative Doctor
www.alternative-doctor.com

As I have written elsewhere, lung cancer used to be an almost unknown disease. I have a paper in which lung cancer is described as a rare form of a rare disease (cancer is rare).

While the Victorians did not possess sophisticated diagnostic or screening technology, they were as able to diagnose late stage cancer as we are today; but this was an uncommon finding. In that period, cancer carried none of the stigma that it has recently acquired, and was diagnosed without bias. For example, in 1869 the Physician to Charing Cross Hospital described lung cancer as '... one of the rarer forms of a rare disease. You may probably pass the rest of your students life without seeing another example of it.'1

Yet today, lung cancer has become the number one killer cancer worldwide. Lung cancer is the most common cancer worldwide, accounting for 1.8 million new cases and 1.6 million deaths in 2012.2 What has changed?

We can't say air pollution because it was far worse in Victorian times than today. The air in major European and US cities was appalling. Here's a note I found on Victorian Web:

Londoners' intensive use of coal for hearth fires helped raise the ambient temperature of the city two to three degrees Fahrenheit above that of the surrounding countryside, with a corresponding rise in humidity. Gas lights, introduced in the 1830s, produced another four to five degrees difference and added their fumes to the atmosphere.

The smoke, mixed with caustic exhausts from coal gas works and the miasmas emanating from polluted watercourses, caused chronic respiratory ailments among its less fortunate denizens and blocked out perhaps three-quarters of the sunshine normally enjoyed by country towns.3 [my italics]

Rats monopolized the city's sewers, and wrens proliferated amid the piles of manure in city streets. Pigeons, of course, adapted well to a regime of garbage and building ledges. Long before Darwin, they selectively bred for dark coloring as camouflage against the soot-covered buildings.4

What's Happening to People Who
Have Never-Smoked?

What is really creepy it we are seeing an alarming rise in lung cancers among people who have never smoked, according to two new studies presented here at the 16th World Conference on Lung Cancer. I'm in that category and it's become insecure, even scary!

According to one of these studies, the incidence of never-smokers diagnosed with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) jumped from 13% to 28% during a 6-year period, Eric Lim, MD, from the Royal Brompton & Harefield NHS Foundation Trust in London, United Kingdom. And many of these patients initially presented with advanced-stage disease.

The second study, at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, the Parkland Hospital in Dallas, and Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, demonstrated that the incidence of lung cancer in never-smokers is increasing in the United States. This was observed in three facilities, most significantly for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). At one institution, for example, the incidence among never-smokers climbed from 8.9% in 1990-1995 to 19.5% in 2011-2013.

But in contrast, the number for small-cell lung cancer [SCLC] stayed the same--typically 1% to 2%.

"When we think of lung cancer, we think of smoking," Dr Lim noted. It's true that anti-smoking strategies implemented in the early 1980s have led to a decrease in smoking-related lung cancer.

But instead, what we are seeing is an increase in the incidence of nonsmoking-related lung cancer. That's weird.



Annual Incidence Doubles

According to Dr. Lim, "We have seen more than double the amount of patients coming to us."

The annual increase in the incidence of never-smokers developing lung cancer rose from 13% in 2008 to 15%, 18%, 19%, 20%, and 28% in the subsequent years of the study.

Literature / Print Journalism And The Issue Of Muckraking by OpeQuadri(m): 11:31pm On Sep 17, 2015
PRINT JOURNALISM AND THE ISSUE OF MUCKRAKING

Introduction:
The print journalism we know today has its roots in the 17th century. Corantos, one-page news sheets about specific events, were printed in English in Holland in 1620 and imported to England by British booksellers who were eager to satisfy public demand for information about continental happenings that eventually led to what we now call the Thirty Years Wars (Baran, 2009: 100).

The continental happenings included happenings in public offices, critique government policies and other reports that x-rayed events that concerned public interests.

As early as the 17th century, Enlightenment theorists had argued that publicity and openness provide the best protection against tyranny, corruption and the excesses of arbitrary rule; Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States (1861-1865) articulated the role of the press when he said, Let the people know the facts, and the country will be safe. In the early 1700s, the French political philosopher Montesquieu raging against the secret accusation delivered by palace courtiers to the French King, prescribed publicity as the cure for the abuse of power; Scholars ranging from Marshall McLuhan, Jurgen Habermas (German philosopher and social theorist) to John Thompson have demonstrated beyond doubt how the mass media impact both on the individual and the society, shaping perception, knowledge and attitude, influencing social relations and setting agenda for the public. All these can only be achieved when journalists are up to the task of their duties- investigative journalism and watchdog role.
Going more directly to the topic at hand, this paper shall x-ray print journalism and its efforts as the mirror of the society trough which the governed see clearly the activities of the government, and how muckraking in relation to journalism came about.

The focus of this paper will be:
The meaning of print journalism
The term muckraking; and its origin.

Muckrakers as social critics (focusing on the activities of the muckrakers and ample of case studies)

Print Journalism
Print journalism is the collection, preparation, and distribution of news and related commentary and feature materials through such as pamphlets, newsletters, newspapers and magazines. In a similar vein, Janice Castro, former editor, Time.com says journalism is the gathering, evaluating and distribution facts of current interest.

The invention of the movable type printing press attributed to Johannes Gutenberg in 1456, led to the wide dissemination of the bible and other printed books. The first newspaper appeared in Europe in the 17th century. The first printed periodical was Mercurius Gallobelgicus; written in Latin, it appeared in 1594 in Cologne, now Germany, and was distributed widely, even finding its way to readers in England.

The first regularly published newspaper (as opposed to the earlier "news books", published in 8- to 24-page quarto formats) in English was the Oxford Gazette (later the London Gazette, and published continually ever since), which first appeared in 1665. It began publication while the British royal court was in Oxford to avoid the plague in London, and was published twice a week. When the court moved back to London, the publication moved with it. An earlier newsbook, the Continuation of Our Weekly News, had been published regularly in London since 1623.

The first daily newspaper, the Daily Courant, appeared in 1702 and continued publication for more than 30 years. By this time, the British had adopted the Press Restriction Act, which required that the printer's name and place of publication be included on each printed document.

The creation of new industrial occupations in society as a whole was reported by a new set of newspapermen who had far more specific jobs than their 18th century predecessors. Earlier journalists might write, edit, and print each copy of the paper by themselves. Even in the 19th century, James Gordon Bennett had...

Literature / Imperative Of Agenda Setting For The Building And Sustenance Of Democracy by OpeQuadri(m): 11:18pm On Sep 17, 2015
By Prof.Innocent Okoye

Imperatives of Agenda Setting For The Building and Sustenance Of Democracy

The basic reason for engaging in mass communication is the expectation that there will be effects. Accordingly, scientific research into the discipline started with attempts to ascertain if the mass media had the direct, immediate and powerful effects which they were deemed to have a priori.

The ensuing media effects research tradition of classical Mass Communication could not support the initial notions of almighty media, but rather found that the media had only limited effects. The Agenda-Setting hypothesis, as an offshoot of the limited effects model, came at a time researchers were dissatisfied with the dominant theoretical position in mass communication research during the 1950s and 1960s.

The core idea of Agenda-Setting is that the media indicate to the public what the main issues of the day are and this is reflected in what the public perceives as the main issues. The original researchers, Maxwell McCombs and Donald Shaw, who coined the term agenda setting in 1972, conducted a series of studies which showed that the news media may not be successful at telling us what to thing, but they are quite successful at telling us what to think about. The evidence, according to Trenamen and McQuail, strongly suggests that people think about what they are told but at no level do they think what they are told.

But the first credit for the concept of Agenda-Setting rightfully goes to Walter Lipmann who, in 1922, published his book, Public Opinion, in which he argued that the mass media create images of events on peoples minds and that policy makers should be aware of those pictures in peoples heads. He argued that what the media actually project are mere reflections of actual reality of the world. But it is this pseudo-environment created by the media that people react to. He considered the real environment too big, too complex, and too fleeting for a direct acquaintance. Concurring with Lipmann, Norton Lang (1958) suggested that newspapers are the Prime movers in setting the territorial agenda, and Kurt and Lang (1959) wrote that the mass media force attention to certain issues. Lang summed up the role of the media as follows:
First the news media highlight some events, activities groups, personalities and so forth, to make them stand out. Different kinds of issues require different amounts and kinds of coverage to gain attention. This common focus affects what people will think or talk about.

After this, the focus of attention still has to be framed, as it were. Framing entails playing up or down the more serious aspects of a situation. The third step is to link up the objects or events to secondary symbols, so that they become part of the recognized political landscape. Then, vocal elements in the society articulate their positions, capitalizing on their ability tom command media attention.

It was against this backdrop that McCombs and Shaw conducted their empirical studies on agenda setting. The hypothesis is important because it explains why people with similar media exposure place importance on the same issues. Even though different people may feel differently about the issue at hand, most people feel the same issues are important. Using Chaffee and Bergers (1997) criteria for scientific theories, agenda setting points to a good theory since it has the following attributes.

It has explanatory power because it explains why most people prioritize the same issues as important;

It has predictive power because it predicts that if people are exposed to the media, they will feel the same issues are important;

It is parsimonious because it is not complex, and it is easy to understand.

It can be proven false; if people are not exposed to the same media, they will not feel that the same issues are important.

Its meta-theoretical assumptions are balanced on the scientific side.

It is a springboard for further research.

It has organizing power because it helps organise existing knowledge of media effects.

Crime / I Raped My Daughter Six Times-father...The Punch by OpeQuadri(m): 9:03pm On Sep 02, 2015
A 34 year old bakery worker,
Mohammed Ahmed, on
Wednesday confessed that he
raped his daughter six times.
Ahmed, who was paraded by
officials of the Osun State
Command of Nigeria Security and
Civil Defence Corps, told
journalists in Osogbo that he
started having sex with his 14-
year-old daughter (name
withheld) since April.
The distraught primary 5 girl,
dressed in public school uniform
was not allowed to speak to
journalists.
He said, “I have two wives. The
first had left and she gave birth to
three children. The second wife
gave birth to two children before
she died.
“This one is the first child of my
first wife. I don’t know what came
over me from April when I started
having sex with my daughter. I did
not see anything wrong then,
whenever I was having sex with
her. I only have sex with her six
times since April 2015.”
“I am ashamed of my action. It is
wrong and I pray for forgiveness.
I did not know what came over
me, but I am regretting the whole
thing now. I don’t drink alcohol
and I don’t smoke.”
Asked why he chose to turn his
daughter to her sex partner,
Ahmed said he did not know but
said his wife died two years ago.
The Head Public Relations and
Protocol Unit of the NSCDC, Mr.
Wale Folarin, said the command
was alerted of the man’s act by
one of his neighbours.
He said the neighbours told the
officials that he used to hear the
cry of the daughter almost every
night and this prompted him to
asked the girl, who confided in
him the disgraceful act of his
father.
Folarin said, “The incident was
related to us by one of the
neighbours of Ahmed who said he
used to hear the cry of the girl
every night and this made him to
inquire from the girl.
“The little girl confessed to her
father’s neighbour and he narrated
the story to us.”
He said the command would
transfer the case to the Ministry of
Women Affairs in the state.

The wind of alleged ethnitism being blown by Igbos and other Nigerian tribes is the new paradigm shift the PMB has being accused of.

But no one is making noise about the current prosecution of Col Dasuki, former National Security Adviser to Dr.Goodluck Jonathan.

Dasuki is from the north, and President Buhari cares not about where the retired colonel comes from.

PMB believes that anyone with corruption profile should be prosecuted.

If Dasuki were an Igboman or Yoruba man, they'd cry foul of being unfair.

She was also accused of forgery.She was purportedly lied that she obtained an MBA

You remember her?

After she was sacked from the aviation ministry, she contested and won in the subsequent senatorial election in Anambra.

But since she became a Senator, I have not heard her speak in the floor of the upper chamber.

Please, next time you see Madam, Stella Oduah, tell the distinguished Senator of the federal republic of Nigeria to speak for her people.

Is she afraid to speak? Or her corrupt conscience is still troubling her?



A News website,

Paul’s College, where Mrs. Oduah
claimed she studied for Bachelor
and Masters degrees, as saying
they did not award her an MBA at
anytime as the university does not
even have a graduate school or
graduate programme.

Or will she be part of Buhari anti-corruption crusaders?

Politics / Buhari's Appointment: Olupohunda Has Said It All by OpeQuadri(m): 5:48am On Sep 01, 2015
"Personally, I consider the appointment uproar as a distraction to the more urgent task of nation-building. Now, the fall out will further stoke up tension and worsen our national cohesion. Conspiracy theorists, disgruntled politicians and mischief makers are weaving different tales and creating fears among the populace. Disgruntled politicians are also using the opportunity to score political points.

"In the midst of the national confusion that trailed the appointment, Nigerians are, sadly, not asking the pertinent questions that can refocus the narrative into a more productive one: What has appointment got to do with the national question and malaise that confront our nation? How has previous appointments impacted on the lives of the people? Or is it just the feel good factor that an appointee comes from the same geographical zone as one? Why the fixation on appointments? Why are Nigerians not demanding that our government address the real challenges facing the nation? If you ask me, I do not think Nigerians should bother themselves with who holds which office so far the appointees can deliver.
"For example, what has been the contribution of our kinsmen who have held political positions in the past? How has the North benefitted from being perpetually in power?

"Despite having been in power more than any other geopolitical zone, the North is reputed to have the worst development indices in the country today. It has the highest number of out-of-school children. Do these realities not render the controversy about lopsided appointment pointless? Let’s take a lesson from our immediate political dispensation. Former President Goodluck Jonathan was in power for six years, yet there were no significant development in the Niger Delta. Jonathan was the President and also had appointees from his ethnic group in various positions. Has the Niger Delta fared better? Was East-West Road completed in the years he was in power? Was Bayelsa transformed into Dubai? Even Otuoke, Jonathan’s hometown, reportedly lacks potable water. Now, it has taken Buhari, a President from the North to begin the clean-up of the environmentally degraded Ogoni after six years of a Niger Delta President. Who is fooling who? What has appointment got to do with it? I believe Nigerians should spend time on the critical issues of development and nation building rather than spend time on frivolity of who is appointed into which position. Buhari should be allowed to appoint those he considers capable enough to help him realise his election promises because at the end of the day, the buck stops at his table. If he fails, Nigerians should hold him responsible in the next election."
