You Won’t Believe What Doctors Found Living In Brain Of 11-Year-Old Boy (PHOTO)


AN 11-year-old boy who complained of headaches was found by doctors to have a deadly parasite worm living in his brain.
The critter was discovered alive and moving around in Liao Chao’s skull by surgeons in an X-ray after the boy was admitted to hospital when he started to suffer from seizures.
Doctors immediately operated on the youngster to remove the worm which targets the brain, and can often lead to extensive brain damage or even death before it is found.
The parasitic infection, known as a sparganosis, can occur in humans who consume infected frog, snake, raw pork or similar sized small mammals that have not been properly cooked.

Cool Stuff: Man Invents Pills To Make Farts Smell Like Chocolates And Roses

Christian Poincheval reckons he can make your farts smell like chocolate and roses

A 65-year-old French inventor Christian Poincheval claims to have created pills that gives sweet fragrance to the embarrassing smells accompanied by farts.
According to him, the fragrance could either smell like chocolates or roses whichever one people choose.
The French man claimed the idea was born during a dinner party where some people almost passed out as a result of air pollution emanating from farts emitted by some guests who perhaps had eaten more than enough for the night
“We were at the table with friends and after a hearty meal, our farts were so smelly we nearly suffocated.
“The winds were not very pleasant for our fellow diners. “Something had to be done,” the inventor said.
So he is in high spirits that the tub of 60 pills, on sale for under a tenner, can end that suffocation.

25 Mind-Blowing Sex Spots You Never Thought To Try [EXPLICIT CONTENT]

25 Mind-Blowing Sex Spots You Never Thought To Try [EXPLICIT CONTENT]


A long time ago, my college girlfriend and I were heading down to dinner when, much to my surprise, she decided to play hide the sausage in a most unusual place. Right there in the stairwell of her dorm, we had exciting, impromptu, and totally public sex. While it didn't make the list of Trojan’s top five Exciting places to have sex, according to their recently released U.S. National Sex Census, it’s one of the memorable sex events I’ve never quite forgotten … along with doing it on a park bench, on a soccer field, in the pouring rain, and giving a blow job in the backseat of a taxicab in NYC.
So what made number one of this list of exciting places to get it on?
Let me tell you straight: number one is the car. What? A little boring, don’t you think? Sure, steaming 
up the windows in the back of your Prius can be pleasurable, but, depending on the make and model, 
car sex can turn out great or goofy. So I got inspired and made a list of 25 (really) exciting places to 
have sex. Do them at your own risk!
1. A Ferris wheel. Request a private cab and take things slowly while you’re on top of the world. 
Yes, things can get shaky, so don’t get carried away.
2. A nightclub or concert. Pumping and grinding plus low lights and sexy music allow you to make 
bold moves without making it obvious that you’re not just dancing.

LUTH CMD Calls For Urgent Measures To Tackle Childhood Diabetes, Obesity


Prof. Chris Bode, the acting Chief Medical Director, Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH), Idi-Araba, on Wednesday called for urgent measures to tackle childhood diabetes and obesity.
He made the call in Lagos at the 1st annual symposium of the Society of Perinatal Medicine of Nigeria (SOPMON) with the theme “Diabetes and Pregnancy”.
According to him, this theme could not have come at a better time than now when the Federal Government is making all efforts to achieve all the eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
“The ones that relate to the theme of this workshop are MDGS 4 and 5, that is, to reduce child mortality and to improve maternal health.
“Diabetes mellitus is a major cause of maternal and child mortality in this part of the world.
“For women with diabetes mellitus, pregnancy can present some particular challenges for both mother and child,” he said.
Bode said that in spite of the improved obstetric surveillance and better management of maternal hyperglycemia over the last few decades, perinatal mortality and congenital malformation rates remain higher in pregnancy.

No fewer than 35 people, including five military personnel and a local hunter, were said to have been killed by a bomb explosion yesterday morning around Mararaba-Mubi area of Adamawa State.
An eyewitness told newsmen in Yola, the state capital, that a combined team of the military and hunters were on routine patrol of the area following their successful recapture of Mubi town when the bomb planted by the insurgents exploded, killing 35 of them instantly.
According to the eyewitness, the scene of the blast was a busy area where people gathered to transact business, adding that the explosive might have been planted there overnight while it went off in the morning as people gathered there.
The eyewitness, who spoke to newsmen on phone, said the military had converted the venue of the blast to a checkpoint, since people were always at the spot in large numbers.
According to him, “my house is some metres from the scene of the incident. I stood outside my compound watching the suburb and all of a sudden, I heard a loud bang which shook the entire surroundings. The few people who were returning to the area started running away and the area was immediately cordoned off by the military.”

A salacious sex tape from an Argentinian teacher’s affair with her 16-year-old student is likely nothing more than an Internet hoax.

The story of teacher Lucita Sandoval went viral after video allegedly showed the 26-year-old having sex with an underage student from her school in the city of Santiago del Estero. The scandalous story maintained the boy filmed her without her consent and then shared the 23-minute clip with his friends on WhatsApp.

A doctor who abandoned a pregnant woman in labour so he could have sex with a patient has been suspended.
Dr Christopher Driskill is facing a litany of allegations along with this, including being drunk while at work, falsely prescribing drugs to a sexual partner, and writing lewd notes on medical charts.
Several other women who intended to give birth at his clinic claimed they found him absent as they went into labour, forcing hospital staff to scrape together nurses in emergency situations.
Based in New Mexico in the USA, Dr Driskill, 42, was due to become the president of the New Mexico Medical Society next year, before the state’s medical board was informed of his behaviour.

Scientists: 'Positive' results in 1st human trial of experimental Ebola vaccine



The first human trial of an experimental Ebola vaccine has produced promising results, U.S. scientists said, raising hopes that protection from the deadly disease may be on the horizon.

All 20 healthy adults who received the vaccine in a trial run by researchers from the National Institutes of Health in Maryland produced an immune response and developed anti-Ebola antibodies, the NIH said Wednesday.

None suffered serious side effects, although two people developed a brief fever within a day of vaccination.

The vaccine is being developed by the NIH's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and British pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline. The process has been fast-tracked in light of the current catastrophic Ebola outbreak in West Africa, which has claimed more than 5,000 lives.

"Based on these positive results from the first human trial of this candidate vaccine, we are continuing our accelerated plan for larger trials to determine if the vaccine is efficacious in preventing Ebola infection," said Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
In this trial, genetic material from two strains of the Ebola virus, Sudan and Zaire, was delivered using a chimpanzee cold virus that does not harm humans. The vaccine does not contain the Ebola virus and cannot cause a person to be infected with Ebola, the NIH said. The current outbreak involves the Zaire strain.

The GEO TV programme sparked a wave of controversy in the Islamic country when it aired in May, despite the fact similar scenes had been aired in the past

 Veena Malik has expressed her anger and disbelief after she was handed a 26-year jail term by a Pakistani anti-terrorism court for ‘malicious acts’ of blasphemy.
Her crime? Appearing in a pretend wedding scene, staged on a daytime show broadcast by Geo TV and based on the marriage of the Prophet Mohamed’s daughter.
The programme sparked a wave of controversy in the Islamic country when it aired in May, despite the fact similar scenes had been aired in the past to little or no such public outrage. Some even apparently suspected that Pakistan’s military were behind the mock wedding, and that it was put on in a bid to wage a blasphemy war against the broadcaster.

President Goodluck Jonathan

Indications emerged yesterday that members of the House of Representatives are on the same page with their Senate counterparts in their bid to impeach President Goodluck Jonathan.
It was reliably gathered that the assemblymen would start impeachment process against the President immediately it reconvenes next Wednesday.
This is just as the lawmakers coordinating the impeachment process have disclosed that they have identified over 50 constitutional violations against the President, which would form part of the impeachment notice.
A ranking officer in the House who revealed this said both chambers have resolved to work together for the common good of the country by impeaching President Jonathan for “incompetence, corruption and unprecedented impunity.”

Lionel Messi

Lionel Messi has broken the all-time Champions League goalscoring record with a hat-trick against APOEL Nicosia on Tuesday - his 72nd, 73rd and 74th of the competition.

The Barcelona forward drew level with Raul with a brace against Ajax at the start of November, but his treble against APOEL takes him away from the rest of the pack.
Luis Suarez was also on target in a 4-0 victory for the Catalan giants. 

Speaking after the match, Messi said: 'I am very happy to break the record in such an important competition but this was a big game for us all records aside.

'We want to compete in every competition and we needed the points tonight.

'We have a difficult last game against a team (Paris Saint-Germain) that we know very well because we played them last season and this season too. But we are at home so we have a good chance to finish top of the group.'
Messi has been the Catalans' star man for much of the last decade, and at 27, still has many years of Champions League football in him. 

Messi's record tally in Europe's elite club competition is the latest milestone in his stellar career after he broke the six decades-old La Liga scoring record with a hat-trick in Barca's 5-1 victory at home to Sevilla on Saturday.

Oluremi Jaiyesimi's Apartment

The police in Lagos are battling to unravel the killers of a former director of the Lagos State Government, Mrs. Oluremi Jaiyesimi.
The 63-year-old was found dead in her house in the Abraham Adesanya Estate, Ajah area of the state.
It was gathered from sources that the corpse of the former Director of Social Welfare in the Ministry of Youths and Social Development was not discovered until a week after she died.
By then, her body was said to have been decomposing with maggots emanating from the corpse.
Our correspondent learnt that a neighbour, who was suspicious that something was amiss after the former director was not seen for days, alerted a relation in the Surulere area of the state.
The relation reportedly called a friend of the deceased living nearby, who visited the house.
A police source said, “The friend accessed the house with his personal key and when he entered the compound, he perceived a foul smell.
“He also saw trays of onions and melon spread out to dry in the sun. They were already germinating, meaning they had been abandoned for a long time.
“The man decided to report back to the relative that he would not enter the flat because he could sense something was wrong.”

10 Surprising Things That Turn Men On In Bed

10 Surprising Things That Turn Men On In Bed

A nice ass in a tight pair of jeans! The ability to hold an intelligent conversation! Fellating a popsicle like it’s a penis! All three are practically guaranteed to turn any man on, but they’re also sort of, I don’t know, obvious. Then I read an article over at MadeMan listing the 10 Surprising Turn-ons For women; I agreed with some — drinking wine and being able to engage in a little friendly smack talk– while others I was kind of meh on. I mean, V-neck sweaters are okay, but the only “chick flick” I genuinely appreciate a guy liking is “Fear” and that’s because “Fear” is awesome. Anyway, this list did inspire me to unearth the same scientifically proven turn-ons for men for the benefit of the sisterhood. After all, men are both exceedingly complex and irritatingly simplistic creatures, so it makes total sense that the following 10 surprisingly everyday things are the turn-ons that really work.
1. Downloading from torrent websites. Not that I’m encouraging illegal downloading or anything, ahem, but there was a time when I was on the wrong side of the law and downloaded all my music and movies from torrent sites. Torrent sites are ideal for downloading large files — I won’t get into the tech mumbo-jumbo, but basically, tell a dude you use them and his eyes will light up like a Christmas tree. I have had not one, not two, but three dudes immediately say, ‘Wow. That’s hot,” when I dropped this info.
2. Being handy with a screwdriver or drill or some other tool. There’s something about a woman who can dismantle her own vacuum cleaner and can identify a jig saw that makes a fella sprout wood. Major bonus points if you also assembled all of your Ikea and West Elm furniture by yourself.

Newborn Baby Dumped In Sewer For 5 Days Miraculously Survives

A newborn baby who was found in a drain in the Sydney suburb of Quakers Hill, Australia.

A 30-year old woman, Saifale Nai, faces 25 years imprisonment if convicted on the charges of attempted murder after allegedly dumping her newborn baby into a sewer  in the Sydney suburb of Quakers Hill in Australia.

Nai, failed to appear in court to answer the attempted murder charge. Her lawyer did not enter a plea and the magistrate formally refused her bail.
This means she will remain in custody until her next court appearance on Friday, November 28, 2014.
A police statement said, “Police will allege the baby, believed to have been born on Monday,November 17,2014, was placed into the drain on Tuesday.”
According to reports, Andrew Pesce, a gynecologist, obstetrician and former president of the Australian Medical Association, said such an ordeal could leave a newborn with long-term problems such as brain damage.
“There would still have to be some concerns about the baby,” Pesce said.
“I would have thought that it wouldn’t have been able to survive for much longer if it didn’t start getting fed,” he added.

‘I’ve survived cancer': Wole Soyinka Shares His Story


Africa’s literary icon and Nobel Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka, on Tuesday, November 25, 2014, shared his experience of how he was afflicted with prostrate cancer for 10 months but luckily survived the terminal disease.

The event was tagged, “Beyond Ebola and beyond reign of the silent killer,” meant to demystify the scourge of cancer and enlightening people that it is curable.
The literary icon said having got cured of the disease, he decided to make his health status public so as to encourage cancer victims to go for medical treatment, according to reports.
He said, “In December last year, I discovered that I had cancer, we were making sure that, that was what it was before going for other tests. And once it was established that I did have cancer and I was sure because in my family we had an uncle, at the time he died, we did not have all the sophisticated ways of knowing how he died.

President Obama Makes Statement On Ferguson Grand Jury Decision

President Obama Makes Statement On Ferguson Grand Jury Decision (VIDEO)


President Barack Obama urged calm across the nation on Monday in response to the decision by a grand jury not to indict Darren Wilson, the Ferguson police officer who killed unarmed black teenager Michael Brown in August.
In brief remarks at the White House, the president acknowledged that anger is “an understandable reaction” to the news that Wilson was let go without being indicted. Still, he said, the jury’s decision carries “the rule of law” and people must accept it.
“I join Michael’s parents in asking anyone who protests this decision to do so peacefully,” Obama said. “Let me repeat Michael’s father’s words: ‘Hurting others or destroying property is not the answer. No matter what the grand jury decides, I do not want my son’s death to be in vain.'”
The president’s plea for nonviolence came just after St. Louis County prosecutor Robert McCulloch announced that members of the jury reached their decision after meeting for 25 days and hearing more than 70 hours of testimony from more than 60 witnesses.
Brown’s Aug. 9 death sparked protests in Ferguson, a St. Louis suburb, and sparked a national debate on the relationship between law enforcement and young black men. On Monday night, police in Ferguson and in cities around the country braced for more protests and possible violence in response to the grand jury’s decision.
Obama acknowledged the deeper issues underlying the situation, namely the feeling that laws are often applied in a discriminatory fashion against people of color.
“What is also true is that there are still problems, and communities of color aren’t just making these problems up,” he said.
The president added that the nation has made “enormous progress” when it comes to dealing with race relations — something he personally can attest to.
“I have witnessed that in my own life,” he said. “To deny that progress, I think, is to deny America’s capacity for change.”

Robbers In Guinea Steal Blood Containing EBOLA From Minibus En Route Test Centre

Robbers In Guinea Steal Blood Containing EBOLA From Minibus En Route Test Centre


Armed bandits in Guinea have stolen a batch of blood samples infected with the deadly Ebola virus which were being delivered to a test centre.
The robbers held up a minibus near the town of Kissidougou which was transporting the samples from central Kankan prefecture to the test site 165 miles away in southern Gueckedou.
The blood was stored in a sealed container and was being escorted by four Red Cross officials. It is believed the bandits had no idea what it was they were stealing and may have thought there was cash hidden inside the container.
Guinea authorities publicly appealed on national radio to the unidentified robbers to hand over the stolen samples that are understood to have been taken from a single person.
The theft underscores how hazards abound and hiccups remain in the aid response, despite millions of dollars’ worth of international support pouring into West Africa to fight a virus now responsible for more than 5,000 deaths.
