Health / Re: Pregnant Woman Tests Positive For Ebola In Obalende, Lagos by remecy(f): 12:25pm On Aug 12, 2014
ideee03: The nurse probably did not know she was infected.Even at that after the Sawyer incident they should have tested and quarantined all those that came in contact with the man.
How would she not know that she is infected, since then she has not gotten the EBOLA sign abi.
Health / Ebola Death Toll Tops 1,000 As INFECTED SPANISH PRIEST Dies After Untested Drug by remecy(f): 10:37am On Aug 12, 2014
CNN) -- As the death toll from the Ebola epidemic soars over 1,000, doctors in one of the hardest-hit countries will soon get an experimental drug that has never been clinically tested on humans.

The World Health Organization said it believes the virus has infected 1,848 people and killed 1,013 -- making this the deadliest Ebola outbreak in history.

The desperation has pushed Liberia's government to ask for scarce quantities of an untested drug from a U.S.-based company.

The Food and Drug Administration approved Liberia's request for access to ZMapp, and sample doses of the medicine will be sent to Liberia this week to treat doctors who have contracted Ebola, the Liberian government said.

The drug's manufacturer, Mapp Biopharmaceutical, said its supply was exhausted after fulfilling the request of a West African country.

ZMapp made international headlines after two American aid workers infected with Ebola in Liberia took the serum -- and their conditions apparently improved.

But a Spanish priest who was infected Ebola in Liberia and started taking ZMapp died Tuesday morning.

Spain's Ministry of Heath said Saturday that Miguel Pajares was being treated with ZMapp at a Madrid hospital. The hospital confirmed Pajares' death Tuesday.

Fear Not Ebola: Read This & U Will Never Be Afraid Of Ebola Again.
Posted on August 6, 2014 | Leave a comment
US STATE DEPARTMENT EBOLA ALERT

In order to help our Embassy Community better understand some of the key points about the Ebola virus we have consulted with our medical specialists at the U S State Department and assembled this list of bullet points worded in plain language for easy comprehension. Our medical specialists remind everyone that they should be following the guideline from the center for Disease Control and the World Health Organisation.
• The suspected reservoirs for Ebola are fruit bats.
• Transmission to humans is thought to originate from infected bats or primates that have become infected by bats.
• Undercooked infected bat and primate (bush) meat transmits the virus to humans.
• Human to human transmission is only achieved by physical contact with a person who is acutely and gravely ill from the Ebola virus or their body fluids.
• Transmission among humans is almost exclusively among caregiver family members or health care workers tending to the very ill.
• The virus is easily killed by contact with soap, bleach, sunlight, or drying. A washing machine will kill the virus in clothing saturated with infected body fluids.
• A person can incubate the virus without symptoms for 2-21 days, the average being 5-8 days before becoming ill. THEY ARE NOT CONTAGIOUS until they are acutely ill.
• Only when ill does the viral load express itself first in the blood and then in other bodily fluids (to include vomit, feces, urine, breast milk, semen and sweat).
• If you are walking around you are not infectious to others.
• There are documented cases from Kikwit, DRC of an Ebola outbreak in a village that had the custom of children never touching an ill adult. Children living for days in small one room huts with parents who died from Ebola did not become infected.
• You cannot contract Ebola by handling money, buying local bread or swimming in a pool.
• There is no medical reason to stop flights, close borders, restrict travel or close embassies, businesses or schools.
• As always practice good hand washing techniques, but you will not contract Ebola if you do not touch a dying person.

• US EMBASSY Please share this information with your friends and families and try not to spread panic on social media.

Fashion / Things Not To Wear To A Wedding!! by remecy(f): 11:39am On Aug 06, 2014
I came across this hilarious list of “Things to Never, Ever Wear to a Wedding” by Cosmopolitan Magazine:

A WHITE DRESS
Maybe it’s an old-fashioned, old-school rule. Maybe the bride is super cool, but wearing a white dress to a wedding just makes you look like an a**hole. Really, you couldn’t choose any other dress?

A SUPER SHORT DRESS
When you’re attending a wedding single—and you’re ready to mingle with some hot groomsmen—you might feel tempted to throw on your tiniest mini-dress, but you should definitely resist that temptation.

A RED DRESS
Wearing red is an attention-grabber, and it is rude to try to take attention from the bride.

A SUPER TIGHT DRESS
If we can see your belly button, areola, and/or cameltoe outline through your dress—newsflash!—it’s too tight to wear to a wedding.

MORE MAKEUP
Your friend/family members/frenemy’s wedding may seem like a theatrical event. But you are not its star.

HEAD TO TOE BLACK
Unless you’re crashing your ex’s nuptials hoping to make a “statement,” it’s better not to dress as if you’re heading to a funeral.

CLUB ATTIRE TO A WEDDING
This just screams TACKY! Clubwear, overtly sexy clothing (see-through etc) doesn’t belong at a wedding and shouldn’t be worn out of respect for your hosts .

- A dress with a plunging neckline

JEANS

The list is tongue-in-cheek, but do you agree/disagree with it? Are there any additional rules you think should be added?
Most importantly, what do you consider to be a ‘tasteful’ wedding outfit?

9. Leighton Meester

This beautiful actress best known for her role as Blair on “Gossip Girl” is also the model for Vera Wang’s perfume, Lovestruck. You need to stop picturing her as a snobby Upper East Side girl, and think of her as a naive little girl thrown into a forest with some dwarves. With her snowy pale skin and dyed dark hair, she is Snow White! Just stick a red headband on and some red lipstick and we have a match.

10. Goldie Hawn

Stay with us for this one. Remember in the Disney film “Lady and the Tramp”? When lady gets locked up in doggie jail (the pound), there is this raspy voiced shih tzu mixed dog in the corner with lots of floppy blonde fur. You know that is Goldie Hawn. Who else could that be?

TV/Movies / Re: 10 Celebrities Who Look Just Like Disney Characters by remecy(f): 11:46am On Aug 04, 2014
5. Kerry Washington

Best known for her role on the wildly successful television series “Scandal”, Kerry Washington is building her reputation for being a versatile actress, starring in films like “Django”. We also think she would be a perfect Tiana from “The Princess and the Frog”! She is elegant, sassy and has those beautiful eyes. All we need to do is slap a frog in her hand! We think she might be a little too busy to work at Disney with all her appearances and upcoming baby.

6. Hugh Laurie

Hugh Laurie is known for his work on “House” and in roles in the films like “Sense and Sensibility”. His character on the television series “House” makes Hugh Laurie a perfect match for Scar from “The Lion King”. It is not just his deep menacing voice, but his hair, eyes and general ambivalence to the world. Give it a chance, just look at the pictures. You know you see it too. Now take away his throne and make him eat mice, I think you get the picture.

7. Isla Fisher

Isla Fisher is known for her hilarious roles in movies like “Confessions of a Shopaholic” and “Great Gatsby”. She could also be swapped for Amy Adams with very few people noticing, Isla Fisher could be so many princesses! She could be Giselle from “Enchanted” but we prefer her as Ariel from “The Little Mermaid”. While her hair is not quite the same shade, she has the beautiful pale skin and innocence of a Disney Princess. Picture her on that rock singing out to our next entry.

8. Tom Welling

Tom Welling is Eric from “The Little Mermaid”. Case closed. That jaw line, dark flowing hair and beautiful blue eyes. Let’s all take a minute to look at this comparison. Sigh. He got his start on the popular television series “Smallville” and for being a general dream boat.

TV/Movies / 10 Celebrities Who Look Just Like Disney Characters by remecy(f): 11:42am On Aug 04, 2014
If you are anything like me, you watch all the old and new Disney movies. I am constantly comparing real-life stars with these princesses. Wait until you see these similarities!

1. Amanda Seyfried

While Mandy Moore was the voice of Rapunzel, we think that Amanda Seyfried is a much better match. She has those beautiful green eyes and long golden hair- look at the similarities! Amanda Seyfried is known for her work on the television series “Veronica Mars” and started filming movies such as “In Time”, “Chloe”, and “Mean Girls”.

2. Chris Colfer

Known for his role on the television series “Glee”, Chris Colfer could have another gig as Pinocchio! Give us a second here: the rosy high cheeks, the big eyes, all you need is to add a hat/wig and a hilarious little outfit. Apparently everyone else sees this resemblance too! When asked about it during an interview for PR.com, he said, “I really want to be Pinocchio, if Disney ever did ‘Pinocchio’ on Broadway. Actually, some of my fans I think started a Facebook petition for me to do that. But I would love to do it, maybe in-between seasons of ‘Glee.’ It’s always been a goal.”

3. Lily Cole

We think that Lily Cole is a dead ringer for Merida from Disney and Pixar’s ‘Brave.’ All we have to do is slack a bow and arrow set in her arms and dress her up! It should not be a hard sell, she is a model after all. She started modelling at the age of 14 and continues trekking around the world for high profile shows and magazine shoots for designers like Alexander McQueen, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Jean Paul Gaultier, Marc Jacobs, and Prada.

4. Hannah Simone

Hannah Simone has been in the show business for a long time. This Canadian got her start as a fashion model, became a television host for a music network and now stars in the hugely successful television series “New Girl” with Zooey Deschanel. We think that this beauty would be a great Jasmine given the change. The stunning dark hair, expressive eyes and spunky attitude are all a perfect match! Her independent and sassy attitude screams Jasmine.

11. Ireland

Ireland

With its rich historical sites, amazing green pastures and friendly people, it’s not surprising that Ireland is one of the most peaceful countries on Earth! Ireland is an overall fabulous country with a plethora of reasons for tourism! Its rich literary history, castle-topped hills, spectacular coastline and legendary hospitality make Ireland a wonderful place to visit any time of the year.

12. Finland

Finland

Finland is considered one of the most peaceful and livable countries, which is not renowned for its combative nature. Finland is still a country that embraces mandatory civil and military service for young people, and the country’s only participation in fighting has been as a part of joint United Nations peacekeeping forces. When speaking about Finland, I want to say about its education. Finland places education at the heart of literally everything. Finland’s education system is ranked fifth best in the world.

13. New Zealand

New Zealand

Each year since 2007, the Institute for Economics and Peace has ranked New Zealand as one of the most peaceful countries in the world. With a small percentage of its population in prison, limited military capability, strong relations with Australia and down-to-earth hospitality, New Zealand is a wonderful country to live in. This is a country of natural beauty, diverse scenery and quirky natives. Visitors from all over the world come to New Zealand to experience rugged landscape, breathtaking alpine glaciers, awesome beaches and fantastic geothermal and volcanic activity. The country is also renowned for its fine wines and there are a great number of grape varieties planted throughout New Zealand. So if you are a great wine lover, you should definitely visit New Zealand at least once in life.

14. Canada

Canada

Having one of the best standards of living in the world, Canada is also one of the most peaceful countries on Earth. It has a population of approximately 33 million people, yet it’s the second largest country in the world by area. With clean and safe cities, spectacular scenery and extremely friendly people, Canada is a wonderful and peaceful country to live in. The largest strike against the peace score of Canada is that it has a comparatively high military capability, though it currently is not involved in any conflict.

15. Austria

Austria

Austria is a small landlocked South Central European country which gains a place on the list of the most peaceful countries in the world for its stance on international politics. Since World War I and the break-up of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and World War II, Austria has been content to embrace a life of peace and serenity. Many people claim that Austria is a great country to live in and I personally agree with them. After all, with its world-famous resorts in the breathtaking Alps, and magnificent cultural centers like Vienna, I think it’s not surprising to see Austria on this list.

16. Bhutan

Bhutan

According to the 2013 Global Peace Index (GPI), Bhutan is also among the 20 most peaceful countries on Earth. The point is, Bhutan has remained unchanged in international and domestic conflict in the last 6 years with a GPI score of 1.6 out of 5, 1 being really low. The report uses 22 indicators to measure internal peace, including number of police per 100,000 people, levels of perceived criminality, level of organized crime, and external peace indicators that include military expenditure as a percentage of gross domestic product and nuclear and heavy weapons capabilities. I personally think Bhutanese people are peace loving and they are well cultured. Plus, Bhutan boasts plenty of spectacular attractions for everyone.

17. Australia

Australia

Australia is a beautiful and peaceful country that offers cultural diversity, spectacular beaches, loads of breathtaking natural beauty, wonderful fauna and friendly people with an amazing sense of humor. Although Australia is a large country, approximately the same size as the USA, it has a small population of about 20 million, so there’s a lot of uninhabited space worth visiting. Australia’s low crime rate, stable political system, high standards of health care and well-maintained roads make it a safe and comparatively easy country to live in or just to explore.

18. Portugal

Portugal

You might be surprised to know that Portugal is one of the most peaceful countries in the world, but it’s true. The country has been a member of the EU for roughly 26 years and it forms a part of the European Monetary System and use the single European currency. Portugal is the world’s 43rd largest economy according to the World Bank and it has one of the highest GDP growth rates among the OECD countries. The country has the low crime rates, great standards of living and a stable government. Plus, fascinating sandy beaches, golden plains and impressive mountains, a millennial heritage and vibrant cities make Portugal one of the best places to live in.

19. Qatar

Qatar

According to the Global Peace Index, Qatar is the most peaceful country in the Middle East and one of the most peaceful countries in the world. Violent incidents are very rare in this country and the crime rates are relatively low compared to other industrialized nations. Qatar is one of the most flexible and liberal countries in the Middle East where women have many rights, including working, driving and voting rights. The country is undergoing transformation under the National Vision 2030 to achieve a diversified, sustainable and advanced economy.

20. Mauritius

Mauritius

According to the GPI Report 2013, Mauritius is one of the most peaceful nations on Earth and it was also ranked the most peaceful country in Africa. The strong score of this island country in the GPI highlights the relative stability of the region and thus further promotes it as a trusted platform for wealth management services and estate planning.

Travel / 20 Most Peaceful Countries In The World by remecy(f): 10:20am On Aug 04, 2014
Do you know which are the most peaceful countries in the world? Since 2007 each year, the Global Peace Index has been issued by the IEP (Institute for Economics and Peace) and is a measurement of nations’ and regions’ peacefulness based on external and internal measures. Although it seems like the world is becoming more cruel, according to the Global Peace Index there are 20 most peaceful countries in the world.

1. Denmark

Denmark tops the list of the most peaceful countries on Earth since it’s really a safe place to live. Even while Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, was under occupation by the Nazis during the World War II, it still did not fight. The point is that people living in Denmark prefer to focus on economic matters, instead of involving themselves in various armed conflicts. Danish people are very friendly, open and helpful. Personally I have been to Copenhagen twice and I wish I lived in this country. I’m pretty sure that those who have been to Denmark at least once could say the same.

2. Norway

Many people do not expect Norway to appear in the list of the most peaceful countries in the world. Perhaps, this is because of Anders Behring Breivik, mass murderer, who hit the pride of the country hard. Sure, it was an extraordinary incident, but according to the Global Peace Index Norway is one of the world’s most peaceful countries and friendly and safe place to live. Norway is the country with the highest level of human development in the globe, plus, the government of Oslo always places peace at the forefront of the priorities of the country.

3. Singapore

As an active member of the international community and, overall, a small nation, Singapore can never take its right to exist and security for granted. Since achieving its independence in 1965 as a sovereign Republic, Singapore has always concentrated on being a great neighbor, through establishing social, peaceful, economic, cordial political relations with all countries.
The country has worked with the United Nations and its supporting agencies on a great variety of efforts. It also participates in various global, unilateral and multilateral organizations to promote international cooperation, including WTO (World Trade Organization). Singapore is among the most peaceful countries in the world as well as one of the world’s wealthiest countries. The homicide and violent crime rates are lower than the criminal rates.

4. Slovenia

A beautiful European country, Slovenia is also among the most peaceful countries in the world. The country got its lowest marks in funding for the United Nations peacekeeping missions, number of police and security officers, level of perceived criminality in society, number of organized internal conflicts, violent protests, and number of internal and external wars fought. I agree with the Global Peace Index and believe that Slovenia deserves its place in the list of the most peaceful countries on Earth. Moreover, with its wonderful cities like Maribor and Ljubljana teeming with unique culture, Slovenia is a fantastic travel destination.

5. Sweden

One of the most beautiful Scandinavian countries, Sweden is located in the far north of Europe. Although Sweden is one of the biggest weapon exporters in Europe, the country has a low level of robberies (only 9,000 a year) compared to the United States (about 350,000 a year)! According to the Global Peace Index, Sweden is one of the most peaceful countries in the world, in spite of the fact that it’s among the world’s top arms exporters. Besides, Sweden has not been to war and has not participated in any combats for the whole 2 centuries.

. Iceland

Iceland was also ranked as one of the most peaceful countries in the world, staying out of the main conflicts in the world. Iceland seldom or never hits the headlines and despite the collapse of the Icelandic banks several years ago, the country is remained as an amazing place of spectacular natural beauty. Tourists from all parts of the world come to Iceland to view its huge glaciers and raging volcanoes, as well as numerous unique natural and cultural attractions in Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland.
7. Belgium

According to the Global Peace Index, Belgium is one of the best and most peaceful places to live in Europe and on Earth. Situated in the heart of Europe, this small country holds a special place. Brussels, the capital of Belgium, is home to the European Union and NATO. Belgium boasts medieval cities, beautiful town halls, majestic castles, and captivating natural beauty. Homicide and imprisonment rates are low in this country, even though Belgium did experience a crisis within its government over the 2008-2011 period.

8. Czech Republic

Czech Republic

A relatively new country, the Czech Republic gained its independence from the Soviet Bloc in 1989 due to the Velvet Revolution and its subsequent split with Slovakia. After the division of Czechoslovakia, the Czech Republic has largely concentrated on building a strong capitalist economy and creating a stable climate for investment. In 2009, the Human Development Index (HDI) ranked the Czech Republic as a country of ‘Very High Human Development.’ Renowned mostly for its magnificent capital city Prague and breathtaking natural beauty, the Czech Republic draws tourists from all over the world.

9. Switzerland

Switzerland

According to IEP, the Swiss maintain a well-functioning government and an open political culture. Illustrating the quality of government, Switzerland received the lowest score for political instability. It’s also among the world’s most peaceful countries that have low levels of violent crime. Although Switzerland is known for its neutrality in regional, international and global political issues, it maintains strong diplomatic relations with various countries around the world.

10. Japan

Japan

One of the most enchanting countries culturally, Japan has the third largest economy in the world. Since the World War II, Japan has been really peaceful, with little internal conflict and low crime. The country settles on an internal security force in order to maintain the peace. Japan is a peaceful as well as breathtakingly beautiful country worth visiting.
