Jobs/Vacancies / Man Almost Dies From Biting His Fingernails - Health by Technolifee(f): 11:38am On May 05, 2018

At one time or another you must have found yourself biting your fingernails. Short of a lazy grooming attempt most people grow out of this, while others, maybe you, have turned it into a habit. If you are continually chomping on your cuticles, you may want to think about weaning yourself off of this fixation because this seemingly harmless act may be very detrimental to your health -- as one dad found out.

How it all started
According to the Daily Mail, a dad-of-two -- identified as Luke Hanoman, 28, from Birkdale, Southport in the United Kingdom -- used to bite his nails all the time whenever he got nervous. He continued this habit until one day he bit the skin down the side of his nail.

It hurt a little but he didn’t think it was anything he needed to be worried about.

Mr Hanoman then spent the next week fighting flu-like symptoms, [VIDEO] all while an infection was spreading throughout his body. Like many other workers, he powered through the discomfort by still working whilst he was feeling unwell. He experienced cold sweats, he was constantly shaking, and he was also heating up in terms of his body temperature. When he got home he thought he’d better sleep it off, hoping things would get better. As soon as he got home, he went straight to bed, only for his mom to wake him up at 2 PM the next day.

She tried to find out if he was doing alright and he explained the symptoms he was having. Luke’s quick-thinking mom immediately called NHS 111 and told them about the symptoms her son was experiencing.


The operator advised her to make it to Accident and Emergency before the end of that day or Luke may not survive. Luke was eventually rushed to the hospital where he spent four days under 24-hour observation after doctors discovered he had sepsis.

What is sepsis?
Sepsis is a life-threatening illness caused by your body’s response to an infection. Sepsis occurs when chemicals released into the bloodstream to fight the infection trigger inflammatory responses throughout the body. When sepsis progresses to #Septic Shock, blood pressure may drop dramatically, which can result in the death of the individual.

Doctors informed Luke that “he was very lucky to be alive [VIDEO].” The doctors saved him by getting to the infection on time and removing all the puss from his finger.

TV/Movies / Fan Dies While Watching 'avengers: Infinity War' by Technolifee(f): 10:07pm On May 04, 2018
They thought he was just enjoying the movie.

A Marvel fan died while watching the latest feature [VIDEO] in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Joe and Anthony Russo's ''Avengers: Infinity War.'' The statement that ''Avengers: Infinity War'' is seriously affecting Marvel fans has just taken on a tragic new context, with this story of a movie-goer who sadly died during a recent screening of the blockbuster movie at a theater in India.

According to Daily Mail, a 43-year-old man identified as Peddapasupula Baasha, who was a construction worker prior to his demise, went to see the movie at the Cinehub Multiplex, in the town of Proddatur, in southern India.

https://us.blastingnews.com/curiosities/2018/05/fan-dies-while-watching-avengers-infinity-war-002551309.html

What really happened?
The Daily Mail, reports that Peddapasupula Baasha was attending the screening, on Tuesday, in celebration of May Day.


He was discovered by a theater staff, who initially thought he was patiently waiting for the post-credits scene [VIDEO]to finish, but sadly, Peddapasupula was sitting completely still in his seat after the Marvel movie wrapped up viewing.

After the scene had ended, he decided to see why Baash was not moving. He called out to the 43-year-old and got no response. He decided to remove his 3D glasses only to discover that he was dead. There was no pulse and he wasn’t breathing.

The theatre staff decided to call the paramedics, but it was unfortunately too late. The police believe that Baash may have suffered a cardiac arrest during the course of the film which caused his untimely death.

What to know about the ''Avenger: Infinity War'' so far
''Avengers: Infinity War'' is a 2018 superhero film based on the Marvel Comics superhero team the Avengers, produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures.

https://us.blastingnews.com/curiosities/2018/05/fan-dies-while-watching-avengers-infinity-war-002551309.html

It is the nineteenth film in the Marvel cinematic universe (MCU). Last weekend ''Avengers: Infinity War'' made over $640 million at the global box office—and at least $258 million of that came from domestic theaters, a number that easily beats the previous record holder which was "Star Wars: The Force Awakens." This is relevant for two reasons. Firstly, that’s a whole lot of money, and second, it means we can finally talk about this movie freely since pretty much anyone who wanted to see it has now done so, apparently.

The ''Avengers: Infinity War'' features Iron Man, Thor, the Hulk, and the rest of the Avengers [VIDEO] who unite to battle their most powerful enemy yet — the evil Thanos. Thanos mission is to collect six Infinity Stones, his plan for these artifacts is to inflict his twisted will on reality. The fate of the planet and existence itself has never been more uncertain as everything the Avengers have fought for has led up to this moment. And of course, the Avengers won the fight in the most breathtaking way.
Foreign Affairs / Why The Obama's Are Not Invited To The Royal Wedding by Technolifee(f): 1:53pm On Apr 12, 2018
Get more global news on https://us.blastingnews.com/news/2018/04/why-obamas-are-not-invited-to-the-royal-wedding-002498215.html

British royal weddings are usually grand affairs of state, where presidents and prime ministers rub shoulders with obscure European monarchs. Not so, the nuptials of #Prince Harry and Meghan Markle because it won’t feature #President Donald Trump, former President Barack Obama or British Prime Minister Theresa May. According to Daily Mail, it will include Markle’s fellow cast members from the USA Network series “Suits.”

Why is this so?
The former President of the United States, Barack, and Michelle Obama did not make Meghan Markle's list because of their past positions in the White House. Daily Mail revealed that no political leader from the United States or the United Kingdom are invited to the impending nuptials that is taking place on May 19 at the .St.George’s Chapel.

The decision was made based on the church’s size and the fact Prince Harry is only fifth in line to the throne. And also the fact that, the wedding is being treated as a family wedding [VIDEO]rather than a state occasion.

While Harry and Meghan have become close to the couple, their guest list is being reserved for long-standing friends they have known for years¸ because the wedding is classified as a private event. Even though Barack and Michelle have plans to visit with the couple in the near future. “Both the couple look forward to seeing each other soon,” adds People Magazine.

Prince Harry and the Obama's share an interest through mutual work
Prince Harry and Michelle Obama have become close as a result of their mutual work on behalf of veterans. Barack Obama has also supported Harry’s Invictus Games, an event for injured service men and women Toronto that was started by the UK royal in 2014.


By contrast, the invitation list for the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in 2011 [VIDEO], included political dignitaries such as the foreign royals, ambassadors, commonwealth governors, and many politicians from around the world.

More information on the royal wedding
According to Kensington Palace, 1,200 members of the public will be among the crowds allowed into the grounds to share in the atmosphere of the May 19 wedding at St. George’s Chapel. Prince Harry and Ms. Markle have said they wanted their wedding day to be shaped to allow members of the public to feel part of the celebrations.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding will, therefore, take place before 600 guests who have been invited because they are family and friends. #Royal Wedding

Health / Unbelievable! Man Was Raised By Wolves For 12 Years by Technolifee(f): 11:05am On Apr 12, 2018
More interesting articles, click here https://us.blastingnews.com/curiosities/2018/04/spanish-man-was-raised-by-wolves-for-12-years-002489807.html

Bizarre stories exist of humans brought up by wild animals, but often they are pure fiction. It’s rare to find someone who re-entered society after living in the company of wild animals that is also able to talk coherently about his experiences – especially when it comes to sharing a meal with wolves.

How it all started
Marcos Rodriguez Pantoja, now 72, was dubbed “Mowgli of Spain.” He was adopted by a wolf pack when he was stranded in Spain’s Sierra Morena mountains at the age of seven, after his father sold him off to an old farmer to replace an aging goatherd who looked after 300 animals. Marcos spent several months learning how to use fire to make utensils, until the old man suddenly died, leaving the seven-year-old all alone.


The mountain animals were his only company and just like Mowgli in "The Jungle Book [VIDEO]," the wolf cubs accepted him as a brother. The wolf pack then taught him which berries, mushrooms, and root vegetables were good to eat.

According to the BBC, he also made friends with deer and snakes which followed him around as he fed them milk. The snake protected him from predators while he played with the deer. The years he spent in the mountains led to him developing very thick callouses -- which he sometimes used to break rocks.

Marcos was finally rescued by the Civil Guard at the age of 19. He was seen running around barefoot and half-naked and could only communicate using grunts.

Adapting to the world
In a recent interview with BBC, the 72-year-old confessed that he feels disappointed with #Human Life and struggles with the coldness of the #Civilized World and wishes he could go back to living with the wolves.


When he arrived, he was specially cared for by seminarians. They taught him how to do the basic things of life and even how to speak English. The former wolf boy acknowledged that he feels people still laugh at him because he has not been able to integrate properly into the civilized world.

Similar instances
There is a similar story of another real-life Mowgli who lived in the Romanian forests [VIDEO] with wild dogs after running away from home because of his violent father. After three years, he was rescued, suffering from severe malnutrition, rickets, and poor circulation. The incident was traumatic for him. Also, he preferred sleeping under a bed instead of on it.

What do you think about both of these stories? Could you see yourself living in the mountains among the wolves? #Raised By Wolves

Health / This Astonishing Health Benefits Of Laughter Will Amaze You by Technolifee(f): 9:04am On Mar 15, 2018
Read more https://us.blastingnews.com/lifestyle/2018/03/the-astonishing-health-benefits-of-laughter-will-amaze-you-002436205.html

#Laughter is often an involuntary response to funny, confusing, and sometimes scary/emotionally-charged situations. Laughter can bring people together and establish amazing connections. Even a slight giggle can completely change the atmosphere of a room, making it warm and family-friendly.

Impressive benefits of laughter
Laughter lowers blood pressure: [VIDEO] According to Dr. Lee Berk and Dr. Stanley Tan at Loma Linda University in California, when one's #Blood Pressure is lowered, it reduces the risk of stroke and heart attack. So, if you’re suffering from high blood pressure I’d suggest you grab a Sunday paper, flip to the funny pages, and laugh your way to good health.

https://us.blastingnews.com/lifestyle/2018/03/the-astonishing-health-benefits-of-laughter-will-amaze-you-002436205.html

Laughter is an effective exercise: the most notable benefit anybody can derive from laughing is a sense of well-being. A 10-minute session in the morning can keep you alert and fresh throughout the day. The reason for this is because you inhale more oxygen, which helps burn more calories.

It enhances blood circulation: [VIDEO] Laughter improves the function of blood vessels and increases blood flow, which can help protect an individual from cardiovascular problems.

Laughter relaxes the whole body: A good hearty laugh relives physical tension and stress, leaving your muscles feeling relaxed up to 45 minutes later.

It acts as a painkiller: It is a painkiller, and reduces the stress and anxiety associated with physical ailments. Respiratory diseases can be alleviated if laughter is an active part of one’s life.
More benefits of laughter
Reduces depression: Laughter has long been known to help people who are suffering from full-blown depression. Laughing reduces tension and stress hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline, and lowers anxiety and irritation, which are all major factors that contribute to the blues.

Laughter makes you feel a lot better: Have you ever been super stressed at school or work? Maybe because everyone was being mean on a particular day, or you had an exam coming up and you were not prepared for it. That said, maybe your friend told you a hilarious joke or story that made you laugh so hard that you almost wet yourself. It’s amazing how much better we feel, especially after an unexpected or explosive laugh. The ability to laugh, or at least smile, when times get tough, is the best way to reduce stress and anxiety.

A lot of us may laugh at this, but people in many parts of the world are laughing their way to good health. #Health Benefits

Health / Man Almost Blinded After Tapeworm Infection From His Christmas Dinner by Technolifee(f): 6:05pm On Feb 17, 2018
Read more: https://us.blastingnews.com/news/2018/02/man-almost-blinded-after-tapeworm-infection-from-his-christmas-dinner-002370685.html



In a shocking statement, Sam, a middle-aged Florida #Man who contracted a from his #Christmas Dinner of "seemingly harmless" ham said that a few weeks later, he noticed black dots in his left eye, which moved every time a ray of light entered.

Disturbed and plagued, the man made a quick visit to the doctor, where he found out that the black dots were a parasitic brain-eating #Tapeworm which was trying to settle in his left eye.

How could that be?

Taenia solium is the most harmful tapeworm to humans. Taenia solium is contracted through contact with infected feces or uncooked pork which contains larval cysts. If the larvae are ingested, they mature into adults in the small intestine.


This infection type is called taeniasis and is often asymptomatic of pork tapeworm belonging to the Cyclophyllid Cestodes in the family of Taenoidae. It is also an intestinal zoonotic parasite which can be found throughout the world, especially in places where pork is consumed.

Humans can be infected at the larval stage from raw or uncooked pork. The tapeworm then lives in the intestinal walls and feeds on bile, digestive enzymes and other nutrients produced in the body. After 1-2 months, it can develop into a full adult.

In very rare cases, the tapeworm can travel into the bloodstream and attach itself to the brain and eyes. According to the World Health Organization, there have only been about 20 cases of Pork Tapeworm embedding itself into eyes worldwide.

Would he be able to see again?

The concern Doctor Don Perez had was in removing the dangerous tapeworm before it died in Sam's eye.


The death of the tapeworm in Cordero’s eye could lead to an inflammation that might ultimately lead to blindness in his left eye.

Still, if the tapeworm is left alive, it can produce eggs that travel to the brain. Fortunately for the middle-aged man, it had not traveled to his brain just yet. If it had, Cordero would have had seizures as a result of the worm making tiny holes in his brain and making his brain look like Swiss cheese.

The doctor performed the delicate surgery to remove the 3mm worm that had already fertilized over a thousand eggs.The surgery was successful and the doctor assured Sam that he would have 20/20 vision.

One way to avoid getting the infection is to wash your hands with soap and water before eating/handling food, and after using the bathroom. When traveling around where tapeworm is common, wash and cook all fruits and vegetables with safe water before eating.

Health / Man's Throat Ruptures After Holding Back A Sneeze by Technolifee(f): 9:47am On Jan 21, 2018
you won't believe this. http://us.blastingnews.com/news/2018/01/mans-throat-ruptures-after-holding-back-a-sneeze-002298919.html


Doctors are using one #Man’s #Sneeze
-induced hospital stay as a cautionary tale to remind people about the dangers of holding back a sneeze. A sneeze is the body's method of clearing an irritation out of the sinuses.
The otherwise healthy 34-year-old man, who remains anonymous, was rushed to the hospital after trying to hold back a sneeze by clamping his mouth and nose.

According to BMJ Case Reports [VIDEO] , the sneezer was rushed to the hospital in Leicester, England. This is after he started experiencing pain while swallowing and a dramatic change in his voice following the sneeze that went wrong. He went on to explain to doctors that, after the sneeze, he immediately experienced a “ popping sensation ” and a swelling in his neck.

http://us.blastingnews.com/news/2018/01/mans-throat-ruptures-after-holding-back-a-sneeze-002298919.html

How can that be?

According to BBC reports, doctors took scans and X-rays which showed that he had burst a hole in his throat which sent air bubbles into the deep tissue of his chest. Doctors also revealed that when they checked his neck and breastbone they heard crackling sounds caused by the trapped air bubbles in his throat.
Fearing that an infection could form, doctors

http://us.blastingnews.com/news/2018/01/mans-throat-ruptures-after-holding-back-a-sneeze-002298919.html

hospitalized the man , who was given a
#Feeding Tube and put on a regimen of
antibiotics. He was released two weeks later after the wounds in his neck healed.
Doctors had to give him antibiotics and a feeding tube to enable him to eat. He used this feeding tube for seven days before the tissue healed.

BBC reports that he has now made a full recovery. While cases like this are rare, the doctors are using the opportunity to enlighten the public about the dangers of holding back a sneeze.

Why releasing your sneeze is such a good idea?

http://us.blastingnews.com/news/2018/01/mans-throat-ruptures-after-holding-back-a-sneeze-002298919.html

Holding your nose and closing your mouth while you sneeze might seem like a harmless thing to do, but doctors are warning against it.
According to Dr. Anthony Arnatt “when you sneeze, air comes out of you at about 150 miles per hour, if you retain that pressure, it could do a lot of damage to your eyes, ears, and chest as air will be trapped in your body .
When you sneeze , you let out viruses and bacteria [VIDEO] , and if you stop it, those may end up in the wrong places of your body. Dr. Zi Yang Jiang explained.

Although it is not true that, sneezes can cause
eyeball subluxation — that is, ejecting your eyeballs from their sockets if you sneeze with your eyes opens. The man was given antibiotics and had to be fed through a tube which was removed after 7 days. He fully recovered but learned the lesson that doctors stress, "If you gotta sneeze don't hold back let it out in a tissue or the crook of your elbow and not in your hand."
Celebrities / Kim Reveals Baby Number 3’s Name And Fans Are Losing It by Technolifee(f): 11:13pm On Jan 19, 2018
we honestly didn't see this coming, you can't even guess the name http://us.blastingnews.com/showbiz-tv/2018/01/kim-reveals-baby-number-3s-name-and-fans-are-losing-it-002302589.html

Two days ago Kanye admitted that he "can’t think of a name for their newborn daughter." But, #Kim Kardashian seemed to drop a hint on Wednesday as she shared a snap of the iconic Louis Vuitton p [VIDEO]rint without any explanation or caption. The internet immediately started speculating that she might have named her daughter after the famous designer. But unfortunately, the name is something you would have never imagined or thought of.

The name reveal comes five days after the reality star revealed the arrival of their #Bundle Of Joy whom they welcomed via gestational carrier. She was born healthy on Monday and weighed 7 lbs, 6oz.

The big reveal
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West welcomed their baby girl on January 15, and of course, fans can’t stop speculating about the names they may give their new bundle-of-joy.

Kim named her Chicago West and "Chi" for short. She shared the exciting news first on her website, then to her Twitter, and fans are loving it!

Kanye grew up in Chicago, Illinois, which had to have been the main inspiration behind naming her. However, Chicago is actually perfect when you think about. After all, that is the city Kanye grew up in, and if you're a fan of the rapper, then you already know he's proud to have been raised there. Kimye is living it up in the baby naming department, after all, North West (4) and Saint West (2) are very creative and unique names that totally fit both of their adorable kids.

As Kim explained on "The Ellen De Genres Show" prior to the baby's birth, "We don't have a name.

At the baby shower, [VIDEO] I was like, 'I don't want to play any baby games, measuring the belly—none of that will work for this time around. I just want everyone to write a name on a little tile and see if there's something that sticks.'"

The new family addition will only be the youngest for a little while — both Khloé Kardashian and Kylie Jenner‘s are pregnant with their first children, due early this year. [VIDEO]

What fans think about the name
Kim's little sister revealed that her niece is known as Chi, pronounced "Shy." "I loooooover her name," wrote the proud auntie. "Hey Chi (shy)."

The name certainly caused a stir on social media. One positive comment came from the official account of Chicago The Musical, which commented: "We're so flattered! Welcome to the world, Chicago West!"

Family / Woman Gives Birth During Wild Police Chase by Technolifee(f): 12:07am On Jan 06, 2018
Multiple babies were born around the world on Monday, some of the first babies of 2018 [VIDEO]. Little Anastasia came into the world like something straight out of a movie. #Tiffany Von Glahn and Carl Alewine had just finished welcoming the #New Year at their South Carolina home when Tiffany went into labor, although little Anastasia wasn't due for another three and a half weeks, and her parents were not expecting her until later on.

“Not long after we got on the interstate, my water broke and little Anastasia was just ready to come out,” Tiffany said.

This caused the parents to worry about making it to the hospital, which was nearly an hour away.

The father-to-be started going at 90-95 miles per hour when a police officer came up behind them to pull them over. Carl Alewine couldn't pull over as he heard Tiffany scream that the baby was almost out. Due to the fact that Alewine didn't pull over when requested, additional officers joined the chase. The cops eventually boxed the couple’s car in, which forced Carl to finally pull over.
You won’t believe what happened next

The cops first put Carl in handcuffs before another police officer saw helpless Tiffany in labor. A courageous officer who had delivered a baby on-the-job stepped up and helped Tiffany deliver little Anastasia. In an interview with Us Magazine, Carl said, "It was a smooth delivery and they're both doing really fine."

The couple still can’t believe how little Anastasia was born into this world.

Fox News confirmed that both mother and child are doing fine despite the concerns about a complicated pregnancy. Little Anastasia was born healthy at 6 pounds, 2 ounces. Anastasia Alewine wasn’t the first baby born in South Carolina in 2018, but it’s doubtful that anyone made a more spectacular entrance into the world in the early morning hours on Monday. Now that’s a great way to start the New Year.
Other babies born at the stroke of midnight.

Both St. #Michael’s Hospital and Humber River Hospital claimed the first births of 2018 in Toronto with deliveries at exactly 12 a.m. on Jan. 1. Shiloh Dlamini was born at the stroke of midnight as colorful fireworks exploded outside St. Michael’s Hospital at Nathan Phillips Square in celebration of the new year. She weighed 7 pounds, 11 ounces at the time of her birth.

Investment / How To Be Productive In 2018 by Technolifee(f): 11:32am On Dec 30, 2017
I've had an unreal year, the best of my life. I've had some highs and lows, but this has been a year of lessons and for that I am grateful. The clock is ticking fast into 2018, and, if your New Year resolution is to become more #Productive, efficient, or focused, then I've got some advice to make it happen.
Tips for a better 2018
1. Plan your year in advance Plan your calendar and stick to it for the 12 months ahead. This gives you room to manage your your time, prioritize what matters, and cancel what doesn't. This doesn't mean that everything on your calendar needs to be locked-in, but it helps you be fully aware of where you're going to be so that you can maximize your time. Planning your calendar also helps to ensure your day-to- day efficiency. The best way to achieve this is by setting a time to do a full calendar review -- keeping in mind your weekly, monthly, and yearly goals and objectives.
2. Set clear goals that you can achieve Setting clear goals that you can achieve helps you to be your best self and execute jobs effectively. The best way to achieve this is by adhering to your deadlines in terms of when you want certain things to be completed. The point of all this is to push you further by setting the highest standards for you to meet. Further tips
3. Learn the art of accountability There's no point in creating lofty goals that end up not being achieved. You need to master the art of accountability, and one way to do that is to get other people involved. Let them know your plans, along with when and how you want to execute them.
4. Learn to be teach-able Be the person who has the beginner's mindset. This involves seeing yourself as an apprentice instead of an expert, having a humble disposition, seeing things from the perspective of others, and being open to new ideas. Constant learning and exposure helps you to stand out from others. read more here;

5. Be grateful for every step There is a Chinese proverb that says, "Those who drink the water must remember those who dug the well." This helps me to be grateful for every accomplishment and every milestone I reach, because this happens as a result of the effort of others. We all need to understand that the changes we want to make in our lives come only in the present. What we do now controls who we become and where we are in the future. So, make the most of the #New Year by planning, setting goals you can achieve, and learning to be accountable for your actions.

Culture / The best landscape in Nigeria :Salt Lake In Ebonyi by Technolifee(f): 11:33pm On Dec 26, 2016
I pray this makes the front page though, because I want people to appreciate beautiful landscapes in Nigeria not everytime oyinbo country. Lol

After many years of not visiting my hometown, I decided to that this time around I was going to learn new and amazing things about Ebonyi and I would be posting them all up on my blog
https://blackperfectionist.com/2016/12/26/travel-diary-ime-mmahi-salt-lake/
So do well not to miss any post because they are going to be worth seeing.
The salt lake is located between Umuchimma and Urobo in uburu village of Ebonyi state Nigeria. As the name goes, every drop of water found around this lake when boiled turns into salt; no wonder Ebonyi is regarded as the ‘salt of the nation.’
In the olden days, this lake served as a ceremonial ground for newly wedded brides and mind you men where not allowed here.

After your traditional marriage, the woman’s hair will be shaved into punk; and she will be brought to this lake for the ceremonial dance. Other women will form a circle as she goes to pick a pot and fills it up with water from the lake.
After which she will dance round the circle to the different songs being sung by the women.
After the ceremonial rites, she then takes the pot home ( its significance is that as salt adds taste to food and so does the woman to her household) and boils it prepare meals for her husband.

She then becomes a fully married Uburu woman!
