More than 100 children raped' in Nigeria's Kano state since January

he is right about prison has a rehabilitation center rather than a dumping ground. but he he isn't right about government turning a binf eyes to violence.

The idea that people can be fat but medically fit is a myth, say experts speaking in Portugal.
Their early work, as yet unpublished, involved looking at the GP records of 3.5 million people in the UK.
They say people who were obese but who had no initial signs of heart disease, diabetes or high cholesterol were not protected from ill health in later life, contradicting previous research.
A summary of their study was discussed at the European Congress on Obesity.
The term "fat but fit" refers to the alluring theory that if people are obese but all their other metabolic factors such as blood pressure and blood sugar are within recommended limits then the extra weight will not be harmful.
In this study, researchers at the University of Birmingham analysed data of millions of British patients between 1995 and 2015 to see if this claim held true.
They tracked people who were obese at the start of the study (defined as people with a body mass index of 30 or more) who had no evidence of heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol or diabetes at this point.
They found these people who were obese but "metabolically healthy" were at higher risk of developing heart disease, strokes and heart failure than people of normal weight.
Is the 'fat but fit' theory well and truly busted?
Dr Mike Knapton, from the British Heart Foundation, said: "It's not often that research on this scale and magnitude is able to clarify an age-old myth.
"These findings should be taken extremely seriously and I'd urge healthcare professionals to take heed."
He added: "Previously we used to think that being overweight led to an increase in heart attacks and stroke because it raised your blood pressure or cholesterol.
"What was new from this study for me is that it showed that people who were overweight or obese were at increased risk of heart disease even though they may have been healthy in every other respect.
"Just being overweight puts you at increased risk of heart attack and stroke."
But the study has not appeared in a scientific journal and, as such, it will not have gone through a number of checks by other academics to judge whether it is scientifically sound.
It is difficult for example to know how well other influential factors - such as diet, lifestyle or smoking - were taken into account.
This makes it hard for scientists to see how clear-cut the conclusions are or gauge how big any increased risks of ill-health might be.
What should people do?
According to the British Heart Foundation, the normal heart health advice applies - not smoking, eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly and limiting alcohol intake - can all help keep people healthy.
Dr Knapton added: "This is not about laying the blame at individuals though.
"This is a wake-up call for planners, local councillors, food manufacturers and the government to make sure we can make healthy choices more easily."
Dr Rishi Caleyachetty from the University of Birmingham, added: "The priority of health professionals should be to promote and facilitate weight loss among obese persons, regardless of the presence or absence of metabolic abnormalities."
He added: "At the population level, so-called metabolically healthy obesity is not a harmless condition."
Does everyone agree?
Other studies suggest it might just be possible to be fat and have the right genes, for example, to remain fit.
For example research published in 2012 appears to suggests it is possible for people to buck the trend and be fat and healthy if they have no metabolic diseases.
Published in the European Heart Journal, researchers suggest people who are obese yet physically healthy are at no greater risk of heart disease or cancer than people of normal weight.
Fitness and fatness: tricky things to measure?
But other experts point out that the way scientists measure fatness and fitness makes this a tricky area to study and could make some of the more tantalising results invalid.
Tom Sanders, emeritus professor of nutrition and dietetics, King's College London, says a major weakness of the Birmingham study is that it uses definite cut-offs to decide when someone has high blood pressure or high cholesterol for example.
Instead, he argues that it is too simple and not accurate to use such definite values to decide whether someone is healthy.
And other studies have suggested that it is not always the amount of fat that matters but where the excess fat is carried on the body that can affect fitness and health.
For example, weight around the middle may be more damaging than weight distributed evenly around the body.
Overall, experts say it is important to not just focus on what you see in the mirror or on the scales - exercise and healthy eating can help boost wellness, no matter how much a person weighs.

first, something in me tells me that this man freeze form this story up. he doesnt pass as someone approachable, he seem to be a self centered person.
second, the bible made us know that the heaven is for God and his spiritual creation-Angels, but the Earth he as given to Men.
lastly and more importantly, God his a very wise and loving God, his judgemnt is just more than any of us can comprehend. he sees everything. he can weigh accurately the motive and circumstance around every deed. that is why in his word the bible, he made us know that their is going to be the resurection of the righteous and the unrighteous. trust me, you are going to be pleasantly suprised at the judgement day!!!

Two compounds normally found in wild plants could make good alternatives to emergency contraceptives - if scientists only knew where to get enough of them.

Chemicals from dandelion root and the "thunder god vine" plant have long been used in traditional medicines.

Now, Californian researchers have found they can also block fertilisation.

A UK sperm expert said the discovery could lead to a new and novel approach to male contraception.

But the compounds existed at such low levels in plants that the cost of extraction was very high, the US team said.

In tests, chemicals called pristimerin and lupeol stopped fertilisation by preventing human sperm from whipping its tail and propelling itself towards and into the woman's egg.

In other words, they successfully blocked progesterone - which triggers the sperm's forceful swimming - but didn't damage the sperm.

"It doesn't kill sperm basal motility. It is not toxic to sperm cells; they still can move," said Polina Lishko, assistant professor of molecular and cell biology from the University of California, Berkeley.

"But they cannot develop this powerful stroke, because this whole activation pathway is shut down."

Lupeol is found in plants such as mango, dandelion root and aloe vera, while pristimerin is from the tripterygium wilfordii plant (also known as "thunder god vine" and is used in traditional Chinese medicine.

The researchers found that the chemicals worked at very low doses and had no side-effects either, unlike hormone-based contraceptives.

They concluded that the compounds could potentially be used as an emergency contraceptive, before or after intercourse, or as a permanent contraceptive via a skin patch or vaginal ring.
'A good bet'

Prof Lishko and her colleagues are now going to test how well these chemicals work in primates, whose sperm cells work in a similar way to humans.

They also are searching for a cheap source of the chemicals, which are very expensive to extract from wild plants because they are present at very low levels.

Allan Pacey, professor of andrology at the University of Sheffield said there was a real need for a non-hormone base male contraceptive.

"This is a very interesting study which shows that two natural compounds can knock out a key molecule on sperm that regulates how they swim in the final moments before fertilisation.

"Moreover, because the molecule is specific to sperm, it seems a good bet that this could be a novel contraceptive target that might lead to a male contraceptive pill without any of the side-effects so far seen in trials with hormone-jab contraceptives."

However, he said clinical trials were needed to show whether it worked in real people and this was likely to take a few years.

Road traffic injuries are the biggest killer of teenagers globally, international data released by the World Health Organization reveals.

In 2015, more than 1.2 million adolescents died. Road injuries were to blame for about one in 10 of these deaths.

Most of the road fatalities involved males between the ages of 10 and 19.

Chest infections and self-harm were the biggest global killers of girls and young women, however.
The top five killers of teens (aged 10-19):

1. Road injury

2. Lower respiratory infections

3. Self-harm (intentional and accidental suicide)

4. Diarrhoeal diseases

5. Drowning

According to the worldwide report, more than 3,000 adolescents die every day.

Over two-thirds of these deaths happen in low- and middle-income countries in Africa and South East Asia.

And most are preventable.
Road accidents

Males aged 15-19 make up the biggest share of these 115,302 fatalities, mostly in poorer countries in Europe, the Americas and the Eastern Mediterranean region.

Although far fewer in number, road injuries are still the leading cause of adolescent death in high-income countries, shortly followed by deaths from self-harm.

In 2015 in Britain, road accidents killed 145 people aged 10-19, and left 3,166 more seriously injured.

According to UK experts, the transition between primary and secondary school, when children often begin to walk to school unassisted, can be a particularly risky time.

In some countries, such as the UK, road safety education and legislation encouraging drivers to slow down appears to be having the desired effect, reducing road accident rates, says the WHO report author, Dr Anthony Costello.

But other countries are lagging, he says.
The other big killers

Globally, adolescent deaths as a whole have been reducing.

But some fatalities are becoming more commonplace.

Deaths from self-harm are increasing in many regions, says Dr Costello.

"Self harm is a massive and increasing issue in many countries. We are seeing suicide rates go up.

"Adolescence is quite a stressful time of life. Young people need support, but adolescent health across the world has been largely neglected."

He says improving the way health systems serve adolescents is just one part of improving their health.

"Parents, families and communities are extremely important, as they have the greatest potential to positively influence adolescent behaviour and health."

The Global Accelerated Action for the Health of Adolescents report was produced by the WHO in collaboration with UNaids, Unesco, UNFPA, Unicef, UN Women, World Bank, the Every Woman, Every Child initiative and The Partnership for Maternal, Newborn, Child & Adolescent Health.

Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe is not asleep when he closes his eyes for long periods during meetings but is resting his eyes, his spokesman says.

"The president cannot suffer bright lights," George Charamba was quoted as saying by the state-run Herald newspaper.

Mr Mugabe, 93, has been seen apparently sleeping at several events, leading to speculation about his fitness.

He intends to stand in presidential elections next year.

The president is currently receiving specialised medical treatment for his eyes in Singapore.


"I feel like a failure when there is this reading that the president is sleeping in conferences - no," Mr Charamba said.

He then compared Mr Mugabe to the anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela, whose eyes were sensitive to flash photography following years of working in a limestone quarry while imprisoned on Robben Island.

President Mugabe's foreign trips are often criticised in Zimbabwe, where healthcare has declined in recent years and medical professionals say they are poorly paid.

One of the Chibok girls kidnapped by Islamist militants Boko Haram chose to stay with her husband instead of being freed, a spokesman for Nigeria's president has said.
She was set to be part of the group of captives who were released on Saturday.
Garba Shehu told local Channels TV that 83 girls were supposed to be freed "but one said: 'No, I'm happy where I am. I have found a husband.'"
The 82 were released as part of a negotiation brokered by the ICRC.
The government agreed to free an undisclosed number of Boko Haram prisoners in exchange.
The militants are thought to be still holding more than 100 of the 276 taken from Chibok, north-east Nigeria, three years ago. The militant group has also kidnapped thousands of other people during their insurgency in the region.
It is believed that some of those abducted have been married to fighters and had children with them.
Parents of the missing Chibok girls are slowly learning if their daughters are among the freed.
The government published the names of the freed girls on Twitter but in Chibok not everyone has access to the social media site.
Mr Shehu said the government was working to verify their identities, so they can be reunited with their families as soon as possible.
Aisha Yesufu, coordinator of the #BringBackOurGirls campaign group, told AFP news agency, that they were working to match the parents to their daughters. www.blaksun3000..com

No power last forever! They all decay and give way to another. Except of course for the Power that gives power. Like if you understand and agree.

What essence? They are all taken, except for maybe that one with the thinking posture.

Israel that is predominantly Judaism, warming up to this Man?..
Maybe this Joshua is the Anti Christ ooo.





I said maybe oo. I just want to provoke critical thinking and debates based on logistics. Besides their is freedom of expression. And I have only said something about a Christendom leader and not a Muslim leader, so I think I am save.

No issue with them. The fear of them is out of ignorance. But sometimes they complicate thing by claiming they or there pastor had a vision for you, and they start telling you stuffs you have to do. Thus I have observed can be out of trying to impress you. And coming from their background they will assume you should easily agree with them. But me, I don't give in to such.

Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari has made a rare public appearance amid ongoing questions about the state of his health.
Photos and a video posted on Twitter showed Mr Buhari, 74, attending Friday prayers at a mosque in the presidential villa in the capital Abuja.
The footage showed the president shaking hands with fellow worshippers.
Aides say Mr Buhari has been resting after receiving medical treatment in London for an undisclosed illness.
Earlier this week, the president missed his third cabinet meeting in a row, stoking further debate about his condition. Until Friday, he had not been seen in public for more than a week.

That's a poor example...because

2003 Milan won by playing second

2005 Milan lost by playing first

1994 world cup final Italy played first and lost

1996 Ajax lost by playing first

Look at the stat...60 percent of people that takes the first penalty have won.

You are right my brother. That is why God is a far more better judge. He looks at the mental state, motive and prevailing conditions before judging people. Hitler might make the kingdom of God.

An Australian woman who killed eight children in a stabbing attack at her home will not stand trial because she was of "unsound mind" at the time.
Raina Thaiday was experiencing a psychotic episode when she turned on her four sons, three daughters and a niece in Cairns in December 2014.
The legal decision - made last month but only now made public - means she cannot be held criminally responsible.
Thaiday, 40, is being held at a high-security centre in Brisbane.
It is unclear if she will ever be released back into the community.
The house where the children, aged between two and 14, were killed has been demolished. It has been replaced with a park to remember Malili, Angelina, Shantae, Rayden, Azariah, Daniel, Rodney and Patrenella.
'Schizophrenia at its worst'
Thaiday, also known as Mersane Warria, had been charged with the children's murders but Queensland's Mental Health Court ruled she should not stand trial.
Experts said before the killings she had never been treated for mental illness.
Several psychiatrists testified that it was likely that Thaiday's mental state had deteriorated in the months beforehand.
Thaiday believed she was the "Chosen One" and became obsessed with cleansing to protect herself and her family from demons.
A "dove call" - either real or imagined - sent her over the edge.
Forensic psychiatrist Dr Jane Phillips told the court: "She heard the sound of a bird and believed from hearing that sound it was a message she must kill the children to save them."
Psychiatrist Dr Frank Varghese said Thaiday was suffering from an "apocalyptic delusional state".
"This is quite a unique case and a horrendous case, the likes of which I've never seen before," he said.
"This is schizophrenia at its very depth and its worst."
'Unsoundness of mind'
The bodies were discovered by Thaiday's adult son, Lewis Warria. He found his mother in front of the house with 35 self-inflicted stab wounds.
Justice Jean Dalton said there was a convincing body of evidence that Thaiday could not control or understand her actions.
"Ms Thaiday had a mental illness that deprived her of capacity at the time of the killing," Justice Dalton said.
"That is, that she is entitled to the defence of unsoundness of mind - there is just no doubt about that on the evidence, and there is no doubt about the legal conclusion that flows from that."
