Buhari why? |
babepink:Exactly, this is just an inch away from cannibalism. It looks too much like a human, chai! This needs to be outlawed asap, if those crazies stoop down to eating a monkey, who could say they won't eat human flesh next? |
shaybebaby:Maybe it's her late mother's wedding dress, it looks 1960's style. |

Wow, this thread is such a crazy circus show. SMH |
So this Oba will try on the traditional attire of every Nigerian ethnicity to give a message of unity? That's a cool idea if he can talk the traditional monarchs of other tribes into doing the same. |
worlexy:NHS should hire rational and knowledgeable people like you instead of baby-butchering newbies with questionable education. |
There wasn't anything particularly unusual about the squash — just a slightly bitter taste. But that all changed when two women in France started losing their hair. The women didn't know each other, nor did they get their squash from the same seller. Still, they both developed what's known as cucurbit poisoning, or "toxic squash syndrome," according to a new report of the two cases, published today (March 28) in the journal JAMA Dermatology. In one of the cases, a woman and her family developed symptoms of food poisoning — nausea, vomiting and diarrhea — hours after eating a bitter-tasting pumpkin soup. About a week later, the woman experienced substantial hair loss that affected a large part of her scalp, but none of her family members lost their hair. In the second case, another woman had severe vomiting about an hour after eating a bitter-tasting squash, but no one else who ate the vegetable got sick. Roughly three weeks later, she lost a massive amount of hair from her head, as well as from her underarms and pubic area. Bitter squash As it turns out, some members of the Cucurbitaceae family — which includes pumpkins, squash, melons and cucumbers — can produce a group of chemicals known as cucurbitacins. Not only do these chemicals taste bitter, but they can also have toxic effects on human cells. Normally, farmers cultivate these plants to produce little to no cucurbitacins, because people don't like the bitter taste. But in some situations, such as when there's accidental cross-pollination of crops or when plants grow in the wild, some varieties may contain high levels of the chemicals. This creates a potentially toxic, bitter-tasting, inedible food. The problem, however, is that the bitter-tasting vegetable looks no different from a normal one, and a person can't tell the difference until they take a bite. Toxic squash syndrome Although it's rare, other cases of cucurbit poisoning have been described in the medical literature; in those cases, people developed food poisoning after eating bitter-tasting squash, zucchini and other gourds, according to the new report. But these are the first two reported cases linking the consumption of bitter-tasting gourds with hair loss, according to the case report author, Dr. Philippe Assouly, a dermatologist at Saint-Louis Hospital in Paris. Assouly wrote that he suspects that toxic compounds in the plant have a similar effect on hair follicles as do some chemotherapy drugs, which can lead to temporary hair loss. But because hair loss is a completely new observation that is potentially associated with exposure to cucurbitacins, it's not clear why it occurred in these cases, said Dr. Zane Horowitz, a toxicologist and medical director of the Oregon Poison Center in Portland, who was not involved in the case. Cucurbit poisoning is a very rare syndrome, and the toxin involved has not been well-studied, Horowitz noted. In 2012, emergency room physicians at Oregon Health & Science University saw two patients with toxic squash syndrome, both of whom had eaten squash from a home garden. The physicians then reviewed the records from the Oregon and Washington state poison centers and identified about 17 other cases of cucurbit poisoning that had occurred over a 12-year period. In a more recent review, published in January 2018 in the Journal of Clinical Toxicology, a French poison center reported more than 350 cases of food poisoning linked with bitter-tasting squash that took place between 2012 and 2016. About 56 percent of those cases involved squash purchased at a store, and in 26 percent of the cases, the vegetable came from a home garden, according to the findings. Squash lovers need to be aware that if they eat one of these popular vegetables and it tastes bitter, they should stop eating it immediately, Horowitz told Live Science. What's clear in all these case reports is that high levels of the toxin make vegetables taste bitter, and those high levels of toxin can put a person at highest risk for symptoms, he said. As for the two French women who lost their hair, the hair on the head of the woman who ate the pumpkin soup had regrown less than 1 inch (2 centimeters) two months after the incident. The second woman had regrown short hair, of more than 2 inches (6 cm), on most areas of her scalp six months later. http://www.livescience.com/62158-toxic-squash-syndrome-hair-loss.html |
SleakBuzzPR:They are more profitable than Uber and Twitter, who have zero profit and been burning investor money for years. |
That kind of stuff happened in medieval Europe 1000 years ago. This Arrow waffle billed thr mother 24k for primitivre medieval treatment? Mother is just as guilty for not taking her son to a doctor. The only way to develop is to eradicate that sort of ignorance and primitive thinking. |
sapeleboi:Rapist detected! |
yanabasee:It's five white men, you missed one! The groom must be working at a foreign company full of white expats. Congrats and HML to the couple! Bridesmaids look great in their traditional dress. I hope one of you guys invite me to such a Nigerian wedding some day! |
This is the cathedral island cathedral. The island used to be the ruling seat and church center in the old ages. The cathedral here isn't as magnificent s the one in the old town, but still pretty cool.
|
Rain-soaked narrow streets are so charming.
|
More views from the awesome cathedral interior.
|
And here is the grand cathedral of Poznan, it is from the 17th century and has been renovated numerous times. The iconography, stained glass windows and the architecture is breathtaking. These ancient cathedrals are home to some of the most amazing examples of Catholic art.

More examples of the beautiful buildings and statues of Poznan.

justtoodark:What are you babbling on about? You are making no sense. |
justtoodark:Yes, and I don't understand the people who bleach or go to solarium to tan. |
Pennywise:Chai, she shouldn't have decapitated the baby in the first place! |
ROSYL:NHS pays low salary so the doctors born or educated in the UK run away to the countries where they get good pay. |
Hindus put bananas, other fruits, grains and coins on their god shrines at the temples. That's the mainstream religion in India and Indian diaspora. They are proud of their ancestral religion and build temples in foreign countries where they have population. This guy didn't mine skulls, didn't use fetishes made from human parts, he didn't even sacrifice animals. He used harmless food items for offering. What's the problem here? Why is anyone complaining? It's unfair sha! |
Bleaching is done with harsh and most probably carcinogenic chemicals. People who bleach might get cancer later in life. Chemicals absorbed through skin might cause liver damage. |
I love those attic room window boxes. It must be awesome to live in such a place and look at the city from above. They made me think of Harry Potter style magic places.

1: Statues on top of major buildings. I've seen dragons, warriors, birds, mythical creatures and Greek gods on the roofs of various buildings. 2: The castle, which has been extensively renovated. Unfortunately it was closed cause of Easter holiday so I was able to take photos from the outside only. 3: A magnificent painting adorning a building facade. A true work of art. 4: Weird little attic room windows. They look like something from a fairy tale!
|
Poznan city hall is a majestic building, even more gorgeous than the one in Gdansk. First two photos feature the city hall.
|
The carved relief facades are as beautiful as the painted ones. There was whipping cold rain, which left the streets wet and the temperature drop made it painful to take off the gloves to do camera settings. But it was well worth it!
|
Colorful, gorgeous historical buildings surrounding the old town square. The colonnaded walkway was a great shelter from the rain.
