ZAMBIAN PRESIDENT DIES IN UK: He Was 77

Zambian President Michael Sata, who was nicknamed “King Cobra” for his fiery tongue and larger-than-life personality, has died, the country’s national radio said Wednesday morning.

Officials did not disclose the cause of his death. But Sata had traveled to London for unspecified medical treatment last week.

He died in a hospital there Tuesday evening, the government-owned Zambia Daily Mail said.

Sata took office in September 2011 after the incumbent President tearfully conceded in a televised speech, a rare moment in a continent known for volatile elections and leaders fighting their defeat tooth-and-nail.

Analysts hailed his election as an example of an African nation with a vibrant democracy. But not too long after he took office, speculation swirled over his lack of visibility — which especially stood out for a man who loves the spotlight.

Aides said his absence was a result of private international visits, and maintained those trips had nothing to do with medical treatment.

The nation’s bloggers have frequently criticized what they describe as “absence of leadership,” leading him to make a surprise appearance in parliament last month and declare that he was not dead.

 

Sata was born in the Zambian town of Mpika in 1936, and worked as police officer during the colonial administration. He later trained as a pilot in Russia before returning home and helping develop housing projects in the nation.

During Zambia’s struggle for independence from Britain, he jumped into politics, and later founded the Patriotic Front — then an opposition party. His campaign events electrified crowds drawn to his extroverted nature and fight for the average man.

 

Sata, who narrowly lost to his predecessor Rupiah Banda in 2008, was a major critic of Chinese investment in the nation’s copper industry. He especially targeted foreign companies that mistreat Zambian workers, making him popular among the nation’s miners who accused the Chinese of deplorable work conditions.

 

While in office, he warned foreign companies that while their investment is crucial to his nation, they must abide by the labor laws.

 

The veteran politician has served in other positions, including city council, member of parliament and cabinet minister for local government.

 

Before his election, the tiny, copper-rich nation in southern Africa had been ruled by the same party for decades.

Kim Kardashian, Kanye West and North West Honored the Title ''First Family of Fashion''

Designer André Leon Talley believes Kim Kardashian, Kanye West and North West are deserving of the title of "First Fashion Family."

"The three were a force of iconic moments as they pivoted around Paris, the mecca of fashion during the last fashion shows this month," Talley wrote late last week. "The Nick and Nora Charles of our time, the Liz and Dick Burton, without the brawls."

Talley - a contributing editor to Vogue magazine and former America’s Next Top Model panelists - also quoted several members of the fashion community who have nothing but love for Kim, Kanye and North.

"Kanye knows quality," says Ralph Lauren said, while supermodel Kate Moss says simply that "Kim is one of my favorite people."

Talley concluded his piece by giving props to Kim and Kanye for donning Givenchy, Margiela, Dries Von Noten or Chanel… even when experiencing “a frenzy of paparazzi moments” in the airport or on the sidewalk.

"Thank you so much for this @OfficialALT !!!!" Kim tweeted with a link to the article Sunday afternoon.

Kanye West, Kim Kardashian and North West cuddle up here for Vogue.

 

In a recent interview with the Australian version of The Today Show, Kardashian actually credited her husband as having more fashion taste that she possesses.

"I think he definitely influences me more. I just love the way he dresses," she said. "He is a great designer and he gives me amazing style tips."

But not everyone fully agrees. Kimye did get booed during Paris Fashion Week, remember. That was awesome.

WWII pilot who died 70 years ago have finally been unearthed -- still sitting on the parachute in the cockpit.

The remains of an Italian WWII pilot who died in a dogfight with U.S. pilots 70 years ago have finally been unearthed -- still sitting on the parachute in the cockpit.

Found 13 feet underground with the wreckage of his crashed plane, a Macchi C.205 Veltro, the pilot was identified as being Lieutenant Guerrino Bortolani. His plane literately disappeared in the Padua countryside in northern Italy, planting itself deep in the bank of a ditch as it crashed on March 11, 1944.

"The crash site is now a corn field. We were able to find the remains with the help of an elderly man, who on that day witnessed the fighter going into a nosedive and hit the ground," Alessandro Voltolina, of the Romagna Air Finders, a group of wreck hunters from Ravenna, told Discovery News.

Bortolani, who died at 27, belonged to the 1st Fighter Groups, squadron "Asso di Bastoni" (Ace of Clubs), which was commanded by the Italian ace of aces Adriano Visconti.
Bortolani flew on a Macchi C.205, regarded as the best Italian aircraft of World War II, as part of his "Ace of Clubs" group.

"It was an excellent fighter aircraft, extremely effective in action and well armed with two 12.7 mm machine guns and a pair of 20 mm cannons," Agostino Alberti, of another group, the Air Crash Po wreck hunters from Cremona, told Discovery News.

But on March 11, 1944 the Macchi C.205 fighters couldn't really combat the massive attack of the Mediterranean Allied Strategic Air Force (MASAF) which sent 111 B-17 "Flying Fortress" planes to drop more than 300 tons of bombs on Padua.

Italian and German fighters responded to the attack, and although their action was described as "aggressive" by the allied forces, they succumbed. The Germans lost five planes and three pilots; the Italians lost four aircraft and three pilots.

As well as Lt. Bortolani, Lt Giovan Battista Boscutti was shot down and crashed in the Padua countryside. Lt. Bruno Castellani plunged in the sea off Chioggia, near Venice, while Lt. Andrea Stella managed to make an emergency landing and survived.

"In 2006 we recovered the remains of Lt Boscutti, along with pieces of his crashed Macchi. Obviously, the next goal was the recovery of Lt. Bortolani," Voltolina said.

"It has been a long and complex search, but now this pilot can be finally given a proper burial," he said

The excavation revealed many pieces of the plane, such as the main landing gear wheel, the tail wheel, pieces of the engine, the control stick, the pedals and parts of fuselage.

"Then we saw what everybody hoped to find. The parachute was still closed, and the remains of the pilot were still sitting on it. We also found the ring he was wearing, which he received at the fighter pilot academy," Voltolina said.

Bortolani will be finally given a burial in the next months, as soon as his closest relatives are found.

Incredible: Wonderful Foods That Will Give You Great Skin

There are many tasty foods that can give you great skin, and including some of them in your eating plan is essential. When you have a healthy skin, you look much younger and fresher, no matter how old you are. The foods you consume every day play a significant role in the health of your skin as well as your overall health. Nowadays it’s hard to choose foods that are tasty and healthy at the same time. Hopefully, this list of foods to eat to have a gorgeous skin will help you keep your skin healthy and young.

Flax seeds

Flax seeds are rich in omega-3’s that play a critical role in controlling the appearance of age spots and fine lines. A study shows that consuming flax seeds every day helps relieve skin redness and irritation and helps make skin look fresh and soft. Add some flax seeds to your oatmeal, smoothies or your favorite muffin recipe.

Purple and blue fruits

Purple and blue fruits are among the best foods to eat for a great skin. Blueberries, blackberries and plums are all rich in antioxidants, which combat free radical damage. If you don’t know, free radicals come from a poor diet or chemicals in the environment. Purple and blue fruits can also help keep your skin looking younger longer.

Chocolate

The great news for all chocolate lovers, chocolate is good for your skin, despite all the myths that it causes acne. I love dark chocolate and eat it almost daily (of course, in moderation), and from personal experience I can say that chocolate doesn’t cause acne. Chocolate actually increases flavonol intake that translates to gorgeous skin. Since chocolate has some calories, make sure you eat it in moderation.

Sweet potatoes

I was really happy to learn that sweet potatoes are good for skin. They are high in vitamins A and C, which are both essential for glowing and healthy skin. The thing is, vitamin C increases collagen production that keeps your skin supple and smooth, and vitamin A is a potent antioxidant that fights free radical damage and prevents skin cancer. I think it’s a great reason to add sweet potatoes to your eating plan.

Tomatoes

When I did my research, I was surprised to find out that tomatoes are good for skin. Many people say that eating tomatoes can cause acne. But tomatoes are an excellent source of antioxidants, namely lycopene, which helps improve skin health as well as protects pigmentation. Add tomatoes to your salads or put some on a sandwich. When you cook tomatoes, you increase their lycopene content, so feel free to eat pizza sauce and marinara too.

Yogurt

One of the best snacks that most of us like is yogurt. Did you know that it’s great for your skin? Yogurt contains protein that keeps your skin firm and that helps fight the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Stay away from fruity versions since they are packed with sugar. Opt instead for plain yogurt and add some fresh fruits to it to make it more delicious.

Red bell peppers

Whether cooked or raw, red bell peppers can also give you great skin . One red bell pepper has over 100% of your everyday vitamin C needs. It’s high in vitamin B6, dietary fiber and carotenoids that help fight wrinkles and increase blood flow to your skin, helping you look more youthful. Eating red bell peppers can also help combat acne. It’s an easy and delicious snack that has only 30 calories. A bell pepper contains fiber that helps you to feel full longer so if you are on a diet and you want to have a perfect skin, add red bell peppers to your everyday diet.

Salmon

Salmon is packed with vitamin D that is responsible for keeping your brain, heart, bones and colon healthy. It helps reduce anxiety, depression, and prevent colon cancer, bone disease and heart disease. Salmon contains omega-3 fatty acids that help hydrate your skin from the inside out as well as help fight inflammation, acne and wrinkles. Plus, consuming salmon regularly keeps your scalp hydrated and promotes healthy, strong hair.

Spinach

Spinach is a nutrient-rich food you should definitely include into your eating plan. It’s an excellent source of Vitamin E, iron, chlorophyll, folate, magnesium, fiber, Vitamin A, Vitamin C and plant protein, which are all great for your skin. Spinach is also packed with antioxidants that help prevent different types of skin problems. You can use spinach in your green smoothies or add it to your salads. Eating spinach regularly will help clean your skin from the inside out.

Kylie Jenner on Lip Injection Rumors: Lets Talk About Some Important New Things!

The reality star, who has been sharing multiple Instagram photos that feature ridiculously puffed up lips took to Twitter last night in order to rant against the rumors.

"How long are we gonna talk about this lip thing lmao," the 17-year old wrote to debunk reports of her lip injection that continue to swirl online.

"Let's get a our lives together guys and talk about some important sh-t. Just talk about something new at least. I'm bored."

Hmmm... did anyone see a plastic surgery denial in there?

Kylie also posted the above photograph on her account, writing "I love you" as a caption in response to Khloe Kardashian seemingly mocking the lip job chatter.

Older half-sister Khloe ran the very same snapshot on her own Instagram account and wrote along with it: "My ace of spades." Whatever that means.

Kylie, of course, could help quite the lip talk that supposedly has her so irritated by taking a radical step: NOT publishing numerous images of herself with puckered-up lips.

But then the World Wide Web may not talk about her and Jenner can't be having that now, can she? No, she's well aware of what she's doing here.

Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Martin: Relationship is Over!

The relationship between Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Martin has ended, according to E! News.

The couple began dating in June, shortly after Lawrence breakup with Nicholas Hoult. They attracted instant media attention, and not only because both Martin and Lawrence are A-list names.

No cause has been given for the split, and considering how secretive both parties were during their relationship, we may never know what prompted them to go their separate ways.

Sources say the 37-year-old Coldplay rocker supported the 24-year-old Oscar winner during the Jennifer Lawrence nude photo that made headlines back in August.

Lawrence had reportedly earned the approval of Martin's ex and had even spent time with his two kids.

Insiders claimed the couple was moving quickly and had even made plans to spend the holidays together.

However, last week, video emerged showing Martin and Paltrow getting close during a dinner date, leading many to believe that Martin is still carrying on a romantic relationship with the mother of his children. 

Both parties have yet to speak publicly about the split.

Evil: Why Wife and Lover (Pastor) Kill Husband

A man’s dona­tion of land to a pastor to build his church has led to his un­timely death in Ebonyi State.

According to SUN, the man, 45-year-old Nwe­bonyi Nwuguru, a native of Edukwu Inyima town was said to have given the land to the General Overseer of Divine Salvation Ministry, Pastor Amos Odorimo, 45, for the purpose of building a church auditorium

The man’s wife, Roseline, 41, began to attend the church. Nwuguru didn’t initially raise eyebrows over the long hours his wife spent at the church. Somewhere along the line, the pastor opened the door wide for the devil and of course went beyond his pas­toral brief. He began to minister to the woman’s body rather than her soul.

At the headquarters of the State Criminal Investigation Department of the Ebonyi State Police Command where he and Roseline are being held as inves­tigation into the alleged murder continues, Odorimo spoke with Sunday Sun.

“I am married and have five children. The deceased Nwebo­nyi Nwugwu was nice to me. He gave me a hectare of land to build my church. His wife, Roseline Nwuguru attended my church. It was from there that I started having love affair with her. When the love was getting deep we found out that the de­ceased was disturbing us and we have to plan for him,” Odorimo said. When Nwuguru got wind of the strong and deep romantic relationship between his wife and Odorimo, the fake pastor, he naturally screamed blue murder. With their love affair known to Nwuguru, Odorimo and Roseline were deeply rattled, but refused entreaties to end the re­lationship. Rather, they allegedly connived to solve the problem permanently, and invited the devil to be their chief adviser.

On September 30, 2014, unsuspecting Nwu­guru decided to visit his farm. Promptly, Odorimo offered to give him a ride on his motor­cycle. Along the way Odorimo stopped and dismounted from the motorcycle.
Asked what happened thereafter, Odorimo gave this blood chilling response: “I took deceased’s cutlass and cut him on the head. His wife also hit him on the head with a big stick. He died on the spot and we ran away to Benue State, but men of the local vigilance group arrested us and handed us over to the police.”
Roseline Nwuguru, who hails from Ado LocalGovernment Area of Benue State while corroborating the account of Odorimo said: “I have seven children for my late husband. He stopped people from entering the church because he had misunderstanding with Pastor Odorimo. Actually I was having a love affair with Pastor Odorimo. I don’t regret my action and joining in killing my husband. He was a wicked man, because he prevented people from entering the church.”

After speaking with Sun­day Sun, the two suspects, Pastor Odorimo and Roseline Nwugwuru ate lunch together from the same plate as a way of showing their love for each other.
Notwithstanding their show of deep affection for each other, Ebonyi State Commissioner, Maigari Dikko has assured that the suspects would have their day in court once the police conclude investigations.

Kate Middleton vs Princess Beatrice: Royal Fight Heats Up!

The Duchess of Cambridge has a lot on her plate these days.
Yet another Kate Middleton wardrobe malfunction made headlines last week, just days after she re-entered public life following some troubling health issues.
Yes, Kate is still suffering from severe morning sickness as a result of Hyperemesis Gravidarum - the same condition that laid her low during the early stages of her first pregnancy.
But it seems that despite her wind-blown skirts and daily bouts of baby flu, not everyone has sympathy for the Duchess.

• 
• 

Princess Beatrice is the daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah, Duchess of York (aka Fergie, no not that Fergie).
As a cousin of WIlliam and Henry, Beatrice is sixth in line for the throne, but as a "blood princess" still holds a position of power within the royal family.
But have you noticed that despite Bea's relatively important place in society you hear a whole lot about Kate - and even Pippa Middleton -  but very little about Beatrice and her sister Eugenie?
Yeah, Beatrice has noticed that too, and she's none too happy about it.
An Australian tabloid claims that Beatrice has become "resentful" and feels "overshadowed" by Kate.
An insider says Beatrice refers to Kate as "the Chosen One" and was recently heard to remark, "[She] gets the glamour jobs, the limos, the clothing allowance, while I have to travel economy."
Beatrice has apparently been harboring some resentment toward Kate for several years, but friends say the final straw came just last month, when Beatrice was planning to announce her engagement to longtime boyfriend Dave Clark, and Kate swooped in and stole the spotlight with news of her second pregnancy.
Since then, Beatrice has reportedly given up on concealing her bitterness, and has taken to loudly griping to friends about the fact that she's forced to work a long-hours internship at Sony Pictures London, while Kate receives the world's well-wishes for hanging out at home.

Sounds like things are getting ugly. We're not sure how they settle feuds within the royal family, but we're hoping it's something cool, like a joust.
