See Why Some Don't Contract Ebola (Must Read)

Experts who spoke to Vanguard said: “Doctors don’t know for certain who will survive Ebola, and there is no specific treatment or cure for the disease. But studies suggest there are some biological markers linked with a higher chance of surviving Ebola.”
One  Bioinformatics researcher at Lancaster University in the United Kingdom, Derek Gatherer who majored in viral genetics and evolution said: “when a person becomes infected with Ebola, the virus depletes the body’s immune cells, which defend against infection.
“In particular, the Ebola virus depletes immune cells called CD4 and CD8 T lymphocytes, which are crucial to the function of the immune system”, Gatherer noted, arguing that “if a person’s immune system can stand up to this initial attack — meaning their immune cells are not as depleted in the first stages of infection — then they are more likely to survive the disease.
“The patients that survive it best are the ones who don’t get such a bad immune deficiency. But if the body is not able to fend off this attack, then the immune system becomes less able to regulate itself”, Gatherer said.
Markers

Another indication of a person chance of surviving the deadly curse Ebola is said to be a gene called the human leukocyte antigen-B, this is responsible for the creation of protein in the immune system.
One study done in 2007 says revealed  that this gene named B*07 and B*14, were more likely to survive Ebola, while people with other versions, called B*67 and B*15, were more likely to die.
The study also said that if one has a mutation in a gene called NPC1, they could be resistant to the virus. Studies proved that, when researchers take cells from people with the NPC1 mutation and try to infect them with Ebola in a laboratory dish, these cells are resistant to the virus.
In a recent survey the World Health Organization has said that the recent ebola outbreak has claimed the lives of 1,145 globally and is now the worst ever outbreak.
WHO confirmed that in the last two day, 152 new cases of the deadly hemorrhagic fever were reported in the two day period in Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria and Sierra Leone, bringing the total number of infected to 2,127.

She posed totally naked for V Magazine last month. Hot stuff!

                       Church of Satan: Black icon

There is a small candle workshop, a workshop for making hell icons, a rite fireplace, a bath-house, buildings for organization of everyday life, adjoining farm and so on. It is noteworthy that a religious community is even officially registered as a legal entity in the State Register of Ukraine.
The Church of Satan is a religious organization dedicated to the philosophy of LaVeyan Satanism as codified in The Satanic Bible.  The Church of Satan states that there are a number of Satanists around the world, including both members and non-members.

It often rejects the legitimacy of any other organizations of Satanists, dubbing them reverse-Christians, pseudo-Satanists or Devil worshipers. Today, the Church of Satan promotes itself as the only authentic representation of Satanism, and it routinely publishes materials underscoring this contention.

Ebola:Dr. Adadevoh Is Not Cured, Another Medical Officer Discharged

The first case of survival from the deadly Ebola virus decease (EVD) on the Nigerian territory has been indeed registered in the late hours of August 16, 2014, Saturday. 

However, not Dr. Ameyo Stella Adadevoh, but another female medical worker has been discharged.
According to a new statement by the Ministry of Health, Dr. Adadevoh, in fact, has not been discharged.
Instead of her, a nurse, whose name was simply given as Ada, has reportedly recovered and left home on August 17, 2014, Sunday. The details are not given in order not to seed panic in communities, and for security reasons also. All what is known is that the lady is a medical officer at the same hospital, where Liberian-American Patrick Sawyer, who imported the EVD to Nigeria, passed away on July 25.

The sad aspect of this story is that Dr. Adadevoh’s condition is actually not improving. According to a family source, who spoke with SaharaReporters, the treatment she received has not positive effect. The source also confirmed that Dr. Adadevoh is suffering in the isolation centre.
It would be noted that Dr. Adadevoh was the first Nigerian to be diagnosed with EVD. The doctor, as well as other people whose cases have been confirmed gained lots of support and triggered a campaign on social media –  #GiveThemExperimentalDrugs

At the moment of filing the present report, there is no confirmation neither on delivery, nor on commencement of the treatment with ZMapp experimental drug.
Below, read a statement (unedited) which became available to the press:

It has been brought to the attention of the Honourable Minister of Health, Professor Onyebunchi Chukwu, that the first Nigerian to be diagnosed of Ebola Virus Disease, a female doctor who treated the index case and who was discharged home from the ward yesterday, is being reported in some sections of the media to be one Dr. Adadevoh.
The Honourable Minister wished to clarify that the name of the patient is not Dr. Adadevoh. This should be noted.
The minister’s statement yesterday, while indicating that it was a female doctor, did not indicate the name of the patient.

Evil: Robbers Rape Nursing Mother To Coma

According Sunday Sun,tears flowed freely as people beheld the pathetic sight of a middle-aged nursing mother whose three-month old baby was thrown into the bush while an eight-man gang of devilish souls raped her to a point of uncon­sciousness right in the presence of her husband.
The woman (names with held) who had bruises all over her body especially in the waist region could barely stand unaided when she was sighted at the headquarters of the Kogi State Police Command.
Sunday Sun gathered that the suspects waylaid the couple on their way to the village, and dispossessed the husband and wife of their cash and valuables at gunpoint. Then they took them in the family car to a near­by bush where they tied the husband and raped the wife who was at that time breast feeding her three-month-old baby.
It was learnt that one of the armed robbers on getting to the bush slapped the wife and forcibly took the baby away from her hands and threw the baby aside. He pointed a gun to her head and ordered her to undress.
For more than two hours, the eight robbers, one after the other, there­after engaged the poor woman in a marathon sex while the husband watched helplessly and the innocent baby cried profusely.
Parading the suspects before newsmen, the Acting Commissioner of Police, Mr Abiodun Odude said the family was travelling from Ogugu in Olamaboro Local Government Area, Kogi State to Iga-Ikeje when the robbers accosted them.
Odude said the victim (names withheld) a native of Ogugu reported at the Olamaboro Police Division stated that he was travelling in his Toyota Corolla car with his wife and baby when suddenly some eight armed robbers accosted them, dis­possessing them of their car, N6600 cash and mobile phone sets.
The alleged robbers then bundled them into the vehicle and drove them inside the bush about two kilometres from the road, where the man was tied to a tree prior to raping the wife. Giving further explanation of what transpired, he said the wife who was oblivious of their plan as she was crying and begging them not to kill her husband. This prompt­ed one of the robbers to give her a vicious slap, took the baby away and ordered her to undress, while point­ing a gun to her head.
He said the woman fainted after the ordeal.
Done with their evil business, they sons-of-the devil tied up the woman’s legs and drove away in the car.
After about 40 minutes, the woman regained consciousness, struggled to free herself and walked to a nearby village, where she informed a group of vigilantes, who later rescued the husband.
On receiving the report, a police patrol team led by Mr. Mbang Eteng, an Assistant Superintendent of Police tracked down and arrested two of the robbers, whose names were given as Vincent Oguche from an uncompleted building, and Femi Simon, who attempted to run away, but was overpowered by policemen and both of them taken into custody.
The police said the two suspects in the course of interrogation con­fessed to the crime and thereafter led the detectives to their hideout, where the stolen car, assorted guns and handsets were recovered. The names of two other members of the gang were given as Friday Oguche and Joe Agbo. The police are still on the trail of the remaining four mem­bers who are still at large.
Vincent Oguche while acknowl­edging that he and the others actually committed the heinous crime, explained why they raped the woman despite that she was nursing a baby, saying: “We were not in our right sense because we were very high on drugs.”
Femi Simon who claimed to be a native of Iyah Gbede in Ijumu Local Government Area of the state said he was an unemployed driver who was conscripted into the deal. He said he could not control his libido when he saw his comrades-in-crime ‘enjoying themselves’ so he had to join them to have a taste of the woman.
The police rebuffed the request to speak with the woman, firmly saying she should be left alone on account of the horrendous ordeal she experienced.

Beyonce, Jay Z and Blue Ivy Race Go Karts, Defy Divorce Rumors Again

Beyonce posted adorable photos of herself, husband Jay Z and daughter Blue Ivy at a kart racing facility on Friday, once again defying recent divorce rumors.
Someone is trying much, much too hard here.
We're not sure if that would be the star, in an attempt to convince us all is well with her marriage, or tabloids wanting to convince us it's not ... but someone is.
  • Beyonce is Number 1
  • Jay and Blue Ivy Go Kart Racing
In one adorable snapshot from the go kart track, Jay Z, 44, held hands with the duo's 2-year-old daughter as they walked around the indoor racing spot.
Blue wore a white dress and accessorized with pink sandals, while Beyonce clearly took first place (as evidenced by another fun photo she shared)
Is life really all fun and games for them lately, though?
The power couple's relationship behind closed doors, if you believe the tabloids, is pretty much the polar opposite of this pleasant family outing.
Just yesterday, a report suggested Beyonce "is done" with Jay Z and their six-year marriage as soon as they finish their final On the Run tour dates.

They also allegedly "stayed separately" while in New York and L.A. and Bey is looking for apartments solo in NYC, gearing up to leave the rapper ASAP.
At this point, we still put about as much stock in those reports as we do Tina Seals' lawsuit claiming she, not Bey, is Blue Ivy Carter's birth mother.
Is it possible all these photos are a facade and things are secretly crumbling behind closed doors? Sure, but there is no evidence that it actually is.
Why fake it at this point if you're just gonna divorce anyway, and why hasn't there been one shred of proof to back up any of the divorce chatter?
Just curious. Someone, please enlighten us.

Karrueche Tran and Chris Brown: Back Together!

Proving that not even bitterness, immaturity and occasional full-on hatred can keep them apart for long, Chris Brown and Karrueche Tran are an item again.

 Karrueche Tran, Chris Brown Selfie

They two were spotted at a charity football game in L.A. playing a little two-hand touch, and likely tackled each other later ... if you know what we mean!
We mean there was some major PDA at the game Saturday, followed by probable boning at an undisclosed location once the football fun concluded.
Like Jelena, Chris and Karrueche just can't seem to quit each other, even when their recurring splits seem to become uglier and increasingly ridiculous.
Just last month, Karrueche had few good things to say about the star, who she felt was a jealous, immature wild child who put partying above all else.
Pretty harsh stuff, but he appeared to be equally livid with Kae.
Brown's camp painted an equally unflattering portrait of his longtime love, claiming Chris dumped Karrueche for being a fame whore and a disloyal opportunist.
All depends who you believe, we suppose ... not that it matters.
With the charity football PDA session, this highly combustible love story has begun a new chapter. These hoe$ may not be loyal, but these breakups don't take.

Ondo Native Doctor Says He Has The Cure To Ebola

 native doctor

Mr Elemigbuwa Tosin, is a native doctor from Ondo state who claims that he can cure victims struck by the Ebola virus. He made this known during an interview with national daily. He said the description and symptoms of Ebola match the rare sickness he treated in the past. Though he does not call it Ebola, he calls it “Aisan Ode” in Ondo State’s native Ikale dialect. He also added that it is a striking sign of a deity related to the waters called ‘Obaluaye’. He said it was highly contagious and almost incurable.

Elemigbewa, who is currently in Lagos with some of his relief medicine for the Ebola vicitims, says that the government should not underestimate Traditonal healers and that he should be given a chance to prove that he can cure the sickness at least with one patient. He advised doctors against the use of syringe in treating the disease as it worsens the sickness.
