Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg, the subject of the 2010 film  "The Social Network,"  is adding to his family network. He and his wife Priscilla Chan are expecting a baby! Mark announced the pregnancy on July 31 on, where else?  His Facebook page . "Priscilla and I have some exciting news," he captioned a photo of he and his wife (and their dog, Beast.) "We're expecting a baby girl! This will be a new chapter in our lives. We've already been so fortunate for the opportunity to touch people's lives around the world -- Cilla [nickname for Priscilla] as a doctor and educator, and me through this community and philanthropy. Now we'll focus on making the world a better place for our child and the next generation." The photo show shows Mark standing next to Priscilla as she cradles her barely-there baby bump. The road to pregnancy hasn't been an easy one for the couple, who married in 2012. It was a road filled with sadness and ...

This is the horrific moment a knife-wielding ultra-Orthodox Jew 'stabbed six people at Jerusalem gay pride march three weeks after he was released from pr ison for identical attack 10 years ago. The man jumped from the crowd at the annual Gay Pride march yesterday and started stabbing people. Six people were injured but fortunately no one died.  Yishai Shlissel spent 10 years in jail for a similar attack in 2005 when three marchers were wounded. He was released from prison just three weeks ago. He was quickly stopped by police and taken away. See the dramatic photos after the cut.. It seems judgement starts here on Earth.............lolz.

These are how to detect some facial expressions. Enjoy reading! SURPRISE: The upper eyelids and brows rise, and the jaw drops open. FEAR: The eyes widen and the upper lids rise, as in surprise but the brows draw together. The lips stretch horizontally. CONTEMPT: This is the only expression that appears on just one side of the face. One half of the upper lip tightens upwards. DISGUST: The nose wrinkles and the upper lip rise while the lower lip protrudes. HAPPINESS: The corners of the mouth lift in a smile. As the eyelids tighten, the cheeks rise and the outside corners of the brows pull down. SADNESS: The eyelids droop as the inner corners of the brows rise, and in extreme sadness, draw together.  The corners of the lips pull down, and the lower lip may push up to a point. ANGER: Both the lower and upper eyelids tighten as the brows lower and draw together. Intense anger rises and the upper eyelids as well. The jaw thrusts forward, the lips press together,...

Doctors treating Hepatitis in Nigeria tells an inconvenient truth about the diseases, saying it should not be confined to the back seat of public priorities since Hepatitis destroys one of the most important organs of the body-the liver. Hepatitis symptoms are severe and when they are obvious, help might just be far away hence experts are asking Nigerians to test early, reports   KINGSLEY OBOM-EGBULEM Dr. Olufunmilayo Lesi’s job at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) is mainly to treat patients infected with Hepatitis. She has been being doing this for the past 15 years. “I love my job”, she says; “I love to talk about Hepatitis; I am passionate about what I do especially when you are in a position to give hope to a patient who may have seen Hepatitis as a death sentence”. Watching Lesi talk about Hepatitis brings back memories of former US Vice President, Al-Gore expressing his emotions about Climate Change as a global crisis in his now famous speech-An ...

This has got to be one of the most painful/heartbreaking news I've heard in a while. A 16-year-old boy named Tajudeen Azeez, lured his 4 year old neighbour to a primary school in the Ijaniki area of Lagos, stabbed him, strangled him and removed his intestines, his kidney and cut off his penis. He did because a man named Osho had approached him and asked him to get him fresh human parts and would pay him N50,000. N50,000 is what a human is worth to some. N50k. Unbelievably sad! "At first, I did not want to succumb to the temptation but it kept coming. When I woke up this morning (Monday), I saw Ibrahim at the back of the house. I told him to escort me to a primary school not too far from the house. The name of the school is Anglican Primary School, Ijanikin. He followed me to the place and on arrival there, I stabbed him with a knife from behind. He fell down and I strangled him with a rope. I then cut his stomach open with the knife. I am sorry for what I did,” He was of...

  RODENTS AS DISEASE VEHICLES In the past century alone, more than 10 million people have died from rodent-borne diseases.  Although rodents are not major threats to our everyday health, it is justified to be concerned over the potential for rodents to transmit diseases. By their very nature and design, rodents make excellent “vehicles” for harboring and rapidly transporting diseases.   Co-Existence with Humans & Investigative Behavior Rodents are well adapted to living with or in close proximity to humans.  They and their parasites share our homes. They nest and sleep in the furniture where we relax, sleep, and store our clothing – and we don’t even realize it.  Obviously, we are quite vulnerable to the potential spread of any pathogens carried by rodents.   Transporters of Pathogens & Parasites Rodents harbor a wide range of parasites such as mites and ticks that carry lethal pathogens. Even without parasites, rode...
