Photo: Danish Woman Delivers Unusual Triplets

A Danish woman was reported to have delivered unusual triplets. The rare babies have turned a center of media attraction as she has been offered millions of dollars for an exclusive lifetime documentary of the babies lives.


For me I don't know what to make of them. They have all the features for healthy babies but then you can tell something is wrong. Their ears are very big, they're unnaturally hairy and their faces reminds me of alien movies. But I think it's sweet how they are all cuddled up like that. Hopefully if they live we will get to read more about them in the near future.

OMG!!! Kardashian Maid Spills Their Secrets: Who's the Nicest of Them All?

As you might expect, the Kardashian family employs a very large staff.

The upside of filling your house with an army of workers to attend to your every need is that you can go the rest of your life without ever lifting a finger.

The downside is that there are now dozens of people who know your darkest secrets and can probably be bought very cheap.

Housekeepers, chaffeurs, and nannies are often sources of gossip gold and the latest stars to be victimized by someone who once washed their underwear are none other than the members of reality TV's first family:

Not surprising: Scott's a slob. Surprising: He and Kourtney sleep as far away from each other as possible. "Scott was a complete and utter mess,” the maid claims. “He’d leave food everywhere and crumbs covered his bed, which was on the opposite side of the house from Kourtney.
 
Star magazine claims to have some dirt from the Kardashians former maid, and the inside info does not disappoint Some highlights:
  • Scott Disick is Always drunk: "He would leave empty bottles of alcohol all over the place," says the maid. "One day while I was cleaning Scott's bathroom, I came across a white powdered substance."
  • Bruce Jenner's sex change: sound like it's really going down: The maid describes finding lingerie under Bruce's bed. Guess those weren't just tabloid rumors, after all.
  • Kim is actually nice: Despite what you may have heard, it seems the most famous Kardashian is also one of the nicest: "She's extremely humble and down to earth," says the housekeeper, adding that Kim's been known to give the staff extravagant Christmas presents."
Don't worry, there's more. Much, much more, in fact. Jump into the gallery to find out who's the rudest Kardashian, who bumps into walls when they're drunk, and who stinks so bad it literally sent shivers down our source's spine.

Yes, even the rich and famous can suffer from wicked B.O.

How Much Toothpaste Should You Use To Brush Your Teeth




Brushing your teeth daily is one of the routine hygienic activities that is very central to our healthy living. It is so important that we have to do it twice a day. In all of this we need to the careful about using our toothpaste excessively. I was watching the program DOCTORS sometimes ago when this topic was briefly discussed. I went on to do my own research and came up with different inferences.

The main reason we use the toothpaste is for a good supply of fluoride. if we have other sources of fluoride then we may not need toothpaste at all.

In addition, an important fact to know if you suffer from canker sores, the foam producing compound sodium lauryl sulfate, which is found in many toothpastes, has been linked to causing it.  So, if you are prone to canker sores, avoid toothpastes containing that ingredient.

Fluoride has health benefits for your teeth and that my family uses fluoride containing toothpastes to protect and strengthen our teeth. The fluoride in toothpaste is antibacterial and helps to add mineral to your teeth. You could get the same effect by simply using a fluoride mouthwash.

Conclusion
All you need is a pea-sized amount of toothpaste to clean your mouth. Excess will just mean you are exposing yourself to unhealthy levels of fluoride.
Toothpaste
You should use half of a pea size for children between the ages of 5 and 12. While you should just use just a streak for infants.

Stay Healthy!!!

Do You Know That What You Eat Can Affect How You Sleep? Must Read



Some people have trouble falling asleep. Others can’t stay asleep. And then there are the people who have trouble turning life “off” and tucking into bed at a reasonable hour. Whatever the reason, we’re not alone—more than 50 million Americans don’t get enough shut-eye. Yet the health benefits of a good night’s rest are countless: sleep helps keep you happy, your brain sharp, your immune system strong, your waistline trim, your skin looking youthful—and lowers your risk of high blood pressure and heart disease.
 Foods

If you could pick the right foods to help you get the best sleep possible, wouldn’t you? And if you knew which foods would hinder your restful slumber, wouldn’t you avoid them? Now’s your chance to learn which foods to eat, and which to steer clear of for a good night’s sleep. 

Reach for tryptophan-rich foods 
We’ve all heard of warm milk’s magical ability to send us off to dreamland. Do you know why it’s true? Dairy foods contain tryptophan, which is a sleep-promoting substance. Other foods that are high in tryptophan include nuts and seeds, bananas, honey, and eggs. 

Indulge your craving for carbohydrates 
Carbohydrate-rich foods complement dairy foods by increasing the level of sleep-inducing tryptophan in the blood. So, a few perfect late night snacks to get you snoozing might include a bowl of cereal and milk, yogurt and crackers, or bread and cheese. 

Have a snack before bedtime 
If you struggle with insomnia, a little food in your stomach may help you sleep. But don’t use this as an open invitation to pig out. Keep the snack small. A heavy meal will tax your digestive system, making you uncomfortable and unable to get soothing sleep. 

Put down the burger and fries! 
As if you needed another reason to avoid high-fat foods, research shows that people who often eat high-fat foods not only gain weight, they also experience a disruption of their sleep cycles. A heavy meal activates digestion, which can lead to nighttime trips to the bathroom.  

Beware of hidden caffeine 
It’s no surprise that an evening cup of coffee might disrupt your sleep. Even moderate caffeine can cause sleep disturbances. But don’t forget about less obvious caffeine sources, like chocolate, cola, tea, and decaffeinated coffee. For better sleep, cut all caffeine from your diet four to six hours before bedtime.  

Medications may contain caffeine 
Some over-the-counter and prescription drugs contain caffeine, too, such as pain relievers, weight loss pills, diuretics, and cold medicines. These and other medications may have as much or even more caffeine than a cup of coffee. Check the label of nonprescription drugs or the prescription drug information sheet to see if your medicine interferes with sleep or can cause insomnia. 

Skip the nightcap  
Here’s the catch-22 with alcohol: It may help you fall asleep faster, but you may experience frequent awakenings, less restful sleep, headaches, night sweats and nightmares. If you’re consuming alcohol in the evening, balance each drink with a glass a water to dilute the alcohol’s effects. For a good night’s sleep, the better bet is to avoid alcohol four to six hours before bedtime.  

Beware of heavy, spicy foods  
Lying down with a full belly can make you uncomfortable, since the digestive system slows down when you sleep. It can also lead to heartburn, as can spicy cuisine. Make sure to finish a heavy meal at least four hours before bedtime. Eat fish: Most fish—and especially salmon, halibut and tuna—boast vitamin B6, which is needed to make melatonin (a sleep-inducing hormone triggered by darkness), according to an article published in the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences. Take bananas: Bananas, well-known for being rich in potassium, are also a good source of Vitamin B6, which is needed to make melatonin (a sleep-inducing hormone triggered by darkness), according to an article published in the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences.  

Keep protein to a minimum at bedtime  
Sorry Atkins. Protein, an essential part of our daytime fare, is a poor choice for a bedtime snack. Protein-rich foods are harder to digest. So skip the high-protein snack before bedtime and opt for a glass of warm milk or some sleep-friendly carbs, like crackers.  

Cut the fluids by 8 P.M
 Yes, staying hydrated throughout the day is great for your body, but curtail your fluid intake before bed. You’re sure to have interrupted sleep if you’re constantly getting up to go to the bathroom.  

Don’t be fooled by a relaxing smoke 
 Nicotine is a stimulant, with effects similar to caffeine. Avoid smoking before bedtime or if you wake up in the middle of the night.

Tragedy: Woman Kills Her Lover She Met On Badoo After She Found Out He Was Married

A 28-year-old woman Loretta Odikagbo has been accused of killing a rig worker named Bankole Charles, who she met on a social media platform, Badoo, in 2013.

Charles, an employee of Halliburton Nigeria Limited, had no idea that the year-long relationship he started with Odikagbo would end his life.

According to the Nation report, trouble started when Odikagbo, an Ordinary National Diploma holder in marketing from the River State Polytechnic, discovered that Charles was already married with children.
When she confronted him, he confirmed it and promised to compensate her with a car, but he failed to keep his promise, which eventually led to his death in September 2014.
The suspects, Loretta and Ime
                         The suspects, Odikagbo (right) and Moses

On that fateful day, she stormed his Woji, Port Harcourt, residence together with some accomplices.
Recounting what happened during an interview at the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) last week, Odikagbo denied knowing how he had died, saying she was not there when it happened.

She said:
I met Bankole on the internet. I initially did not know that Bankole was married; overtime I discovered. He actually promised to settle things with me. He talked about buying a car.  When I hinted this to my in-law (Ime), he said he had a way to help me get what I wanted from him and I conceded to the idea.
“On the agreed day, I moved into Bankole’s house and waited for them there. He came with another of his friend. I opened the door for them. They came in. His junior started tying Bankole up. Ime was holding a torch which they came with because this happened in the night and there was no electricity supply and it was raining heavily.
“At a point, I decided to go to the ATM with his (Bankole’s) card to withdraw some money from his bank account. One of the two men decided to go with me. So, my in-law (Ime) was left behind with Bankole who was still alive when we left.
“I conspired with my friend and took my in-law to his house to harass him so I could get some money from him, which led to his death; but I was not there when he died, I was at the ATM. There is a third person that can tell the story of how he died but unfortunately, he has not been arrested. So, he is not here now. This story can’t be complete if the third person is not arrested.”

Expressing remorse over the incident, she said: “I feel so terrible and primitive. I am guilty of the crime. Bankole was my first internet boyfriend; I am not used to meeting people on the internet or Facebook. I blame my action on hanging out with wrong friends.”

Odikagbo’s evil act was uncovered when a team of four policemen, led by Inspector Joseph Okpamen of the homicide department of the SCID, arrested the gang and forced them to break their silence over the killing.

Odikagbo was traced to the residence of her other boyfriend with whom she was staying at Rumukpokwu, Obio/Akpor Local Government Area.
One of her alleged accomplices, 30-year-old Ime Francis Moses (Jr), a university dropout and native of Eket in Akwa Ibom state, accused Odikagbo of being the killer.
After a while, she came back to me at the man’s house. I asked her to come let us go, she said, ‘no’, that the man knows her very well, that if we should leave him at this junction, he will definitely come after her, and that when he gets her, she will mention my name. She asked if I will like to be arrested, I said ‘no’.

“She now went to the man’s kitchen and brought polythene bag which she wore on the man’s head and sat on it. As the man was struggling, I held his head until the man was motionless,” he explained.

Asked how much he was paid for the job, Moses said: “It was not a job, but an assistance I rendered to Loretta. I tried to persuade her to leave the man at the point we had tortured him, but she insisted on going down with me if the man comes after her. She gave me N28, 000 only. I feel very guilty for the action.”

Odikagbo and Moses are currently in police custody while the third accomplice, a tout, is still at large, though the police have vowed to arrest him at all costs.

The police public relations officer, Deputy Superintendent Ahmad Mohammad, warned members of the public to be careful with friends they make through social media.
