WHY SEVEN(7) HOURS OF SLEEP MIGHT BE BETTER THAN MORE ORE LESS
Experts
generally recommend seven to nine hours a night for healthy adults.
Sleep scientists say new guidelines are needed to take into account an
abundance of recent research in the field and to reflect that Americans
are on average sleeping less than they did in the past.
Several
sleep studies have found that seven hours is the optimal amount of
sleep—not eight, as was long believed—when it comes to certain cognitive
and health markers, although many doctors question that conclusion.

Sherone Simpson have had their doping bans reduced from 18 months to six
months.
Both sprinters, who has won an Olympic relay golds, are now free no

Sports (Cas) ruling.
They both tested positive for the banned stimulant oxilofrine at last year’s Jamaican national championship.
The one-time fastest man on earth and 29-year-old Simpson were given 18-month suspension by the Jamaican Anti-Doping disciplinary panel in April, which were backdated to end in December 2014.
Powell, 31, a former 100m world record holder, plans to run at a meeting in Lucerne on Tuesday.
He tweeted: Finally this weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Justice has been served. Bow let’s run.”
Powell and 2008 Olympic 100m silver medalist Simpson had argued their offence was minor as the dope test fail came from taking a contaminated version of Epiphany D1, a legal supplement.
Powell testified that physical trainer Chris Xuereb provided him with nine supplement, including Epiphany D1 in January.
His Canadian trainer Xuereb denied the claims.
Both athletes are set to miss this month’s Commonwealth Games as the Jamaican team was selected during the period of their ban

Importance Of s*xual Moans
The art of s*x is intensely interesting as every person acts
and reacts in different ways. Studies have shown that moaning during s*x
has mutual benefits for both partners involved in the lovemaking act.
Making love to a motionless and and voiceless mate is like having it with a log of wood or a dead body. No doubt, feedback is important. Otherwise, how can you determine what works for your partner and what does not?
Here are some of the great importance of moaning during s*x:
Assurance of Pleasure
You might be the “soft-moans” type, or the “the-scream-aloud” type and amazingly, and even the facial expressionist but all in all, when any of these s*xual communication methods is used, your partner, one way or the other knows you enjoy he or she is doing you right at that moment.
Oiling the Ego of your man
No man wants to be seen as a failure in the bedroom department. Ladies, each time you moan or communicate sexually to him, you remove some residual insecurities of low self esteem and many more from your man. He goes about the day’s activities fulfilled!
Great and enhanced s*xual lifestyle
Here, the logic is, if you moan or communicate to your partner in your own s*xual way, your partner will from time to time where he/she needs to touch and what he/she needs to do to take you to the desired cloud nine. This. overtime, makes the both of you understand each other’s exact needs and will birth a fulfilled s*x life.
You will get much more
Like the Oliver Twist, when your partner gets “on-the-spot-feedbacks”, he/she tends to want to do more so as to make you get more pleasure. Trust your instincts…he/she would just do more!
Although not all feedbacks or s*x communications need to be vocal, the most important thing is to be genuine and also to know the exact signal your partner uses in getting across to you to avoid frustrations. So, if it is not working, tell your partner how to make it work because you deserve a great s*x life! It is important.

Boko Haram Negotiator Denies Selling Chibok Girls Videos To Foreign Media
Ahmad Salkida, the Maiduguri, Borno State-born journalist who reportedly has strong ties with the dreaded Boko Haram sect has denied reports that he is profiting from Boko Haram insurgency.
Ahmad Salkida
Speaking in an exclusive online chat on Thursday, June 5 Salkida expressed shock over reports making the rounds that he was selling Boko Haram's videos to foreign media.
Salkida said at no time had he traded exclusive Boko Haram videos for money.
“If I want to sell videos I would be a wealthy man because my sources can give me every single one of their videos,” Salkida, who refused to disclose his location, told our journalist via electronic mail.
He described the report as "junk journalism," adding that there were a lot of “media junks” flying around which is specifically targeted at bringing him down.
On his level of involvement in reported negotiations with the insurgents aimed at freeing the Chibok schoolgirls, Salkida said he would not want it to become a media affair.
“I’m not keen on taking my efforts to the media and I am not clarifying anything. I wish you all the best with your work. Goodluck once again,” the Boko Haram negotiator told our correspondent.
According to him, his contribution to finding a lasting solution to the Boko Haram insurgency cannot be paid for by any individual, group or government.
He added that restoring peace in northern Nigeria where he was raised, was utmost and dear to him beyond what his alleged detractors can imagine.
He, however noted that all hands must be on deck to ensure that the Federal Government comes up with a national security roadmap with clearly defined rules of engagement while expressing optimism that the Boko Haram insurgency can be significantly reduced.
Reports surfaced recently that Salkida, the only Nigerian journalist/civilian to have access to Boko Haram was flown in by the Nigerian government to act as negotiator between them and the Boko Haram extremists in the release of the abducted Chibok school girls who have been gone for close to 2 months.

Parents Arrested For Obese 11-Yr-Old Child Who Weights Almost 100kg
Two careless parents were arrested for obesity of their teenage boy, Norfolk, UK.
An unnamed 11-year-old boy whose weight is 95 kilos became the reason why both his parents were arrested and questioned on suspicion of child neglect and cruelty.
The doctors who monitor the boy's health and the teachers at the specialist school raised an alarm when his weight reached 95kg, they alerted the police and the parents were taken to a police department for case investigation.
Mother and father assured that they had tried to keep his size under control but it did not work. Now being released on bail they claim that their child has genetic predisposition for being fat.
The boy’s dad said: "He’s always been big. He was born with shovels for hands and spades for feet. Everyone on my side of the family is big there’s nothing we can do about it. Our son’s favourite snack is steamed broccoli and he’s still big."
His mother also keeps telling that her son's weight is not that much of a big deal as he uses a Nintendo Wii to stay active and stick to a strict diet. The couple signed a care agreement with social workers and now they are in danger of losing custody of the boy to social services.

Davido Finally Reveals Why He insulted Top Music Video Director, Sesan Over Skelewu Video Shot In Nigeria
When the singer released the song, he tasked his fans to record the 'Skelewu' dance with any device of their choices and upload such on the internet. This was exactly what D'Banj did when he released his smash hit single, 'Oliver Twist'.
As expected, many people responded to it and in a short time, the 'Omo Baba Olowo' announced that he was shooting the music video of the song.
However, before its official release, the music video, shot by Sesan, reportedly leaked on the internet, but the video received knocks from fans, who felt disappointed at the work. As a way of damage control, Davido took to twitter to dissociate himself from the video and slammed Sesan for the job.
He thereafter announced that he was contracting UK-based music video director, Moe Musa for another shoot of the song. Though the second job fell below expectation, Davido later gave up on the job after he was slammed by his fans as he was allegedly planning to shoot a third video for the song.
Speaking recently on why he publicly took on Sesan, Davido declared that he felt bad about what Sesan did because he had expected much from him.
Corroborating him, his cousin, Shina Rambo, lamented that Sesan didn't do what was expected from him. He said they were angry with him (Sesan) because they paid hugely for the job and thought he would do what would be appreciated by all.

REVEALED:Facebook is read daily more than bible(How shocking is that?)
Contrary to God's instruction in the Bible that says 'meditate in my words day and night', it has been revealed that more Americans check Facebook daily than they read the Bible. And facebook has more monthly users worldwide than most continents have people.
Facebook, which celebrates its 10th anniversary, has 757 million daily active users worldwide. Of those 19% are in the US and Canada, so that's more than 143 million people checking Facebook daily.
The Bible used to be the go-to for statistics about reading, pre-digital age. A 2006 CBS News poll found 15% of US adults read the Bible or other religious texts daily. There are about 267 million adults in the US and Canada. That means about 40 million people reading the Bible daily.
And then there are monthly users - Facebook claims 1.23 billion of them. That's more people than live in any country but China. In fact, Facebook is beyond comparing to nations and is more continental in magnitude. Facebook's monthly user population is larger than six of the seven continents, only behind Asia.
Facebook's monthly user total is about the population of all of North America and Europe combined.
But all those numbers pale behind this one factoid from Facebook: About 400 billion photos have been shared on Facebook.
That's lots of selfies.
If you printed them out four to a page on regular-sized sheets of paper and put the 100 billion sheets end to end, they would stretch for about 27 million kilometres. That's enough snapshots to reach to the moon and back 34 times.
And it all started ten years ago in a dormitory room.

Cancer now world's biggest killer disease
With over 8.2 million people dying of all manner of cancer yearly, it is now the highest killer disease in the world.
This is as the International Agency for Research on Cancer says Nigeria has the highest number of women dying from cervical cancer in Africa.
The agency released the report on Tuesday in Geneva, Switzerland as the United Nations marked the World Cancer Day.
The report noted that the world recorded more than 14.1 million of cancer cases in 2012 while its incidence rose by 11 per cent in the last four years.
The report stated, "As a single entity, cancer is the biggest cause of mortality worldwide. There is an estimated 8.2 million deaths from cancer in 2012 while 14.1 million cancer cases were recorded in the same year-equal to the population of India's largest city Mumbai. Cancer cases worldwide will rise by 75 per cent and reach close to 25 million over the next two decades."
It added that deaths occasioned by the disease were growing at an alarming rate, particularly among the poor and those living in low and middle-income countries.
The Director of the agency, Dr. Christopher Wild, in the report also noted that Africa, Asia and South America topped the list of continents with the highest cancer cases and deaths in the world.
He said, "Sixty per cent of the world's new cases of cancer occur in Africa and Asia. These new figures and projections send a strong signal that immediate action is necessary to confront this human disaster, which touches every community worldwide without exceptions. The rise of cancer worldwide is a major obstacle to human development and well-being."
Besides, the report said Nigeria was second after India among countries with the highest cervical cancer deaths.
Countries with worse indices, it added, were Brazil and Bangladesh.
According to the report, these four countries account for 50 per cent of cervical cancer deaths in the world.
Speaking on the theme of the 2014 World Cancer Day, "Debunking the Myth & Vaccinate Your Goals", a professor of Radiology at the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital, Nsukka, Enugu, Ifeoma Okoye, urged the FG and other stakeholders to work towards providing HPV vaccines against cervical cancer in the country.
Speaking on "Debunking the Myth & Vaccinate Your Goals", on Tuesday, Okoye, who called for the inclusion of the vaccine in the national immunisation scheme, said it would greatly help in the reduction of cervical cancer in the country.
She said, "About 14,550 cervical cancer cases are diagnosed annually in Nigerian women within the age range of 15 and 44 years. Unfortunately, no fewer than 9,569 of them die of it due to late detection and prevention. Yet, this is the most preventable cancer in the world."
She also stressed on the need for the authorities to ban smoking in public places as well as to enforce other environmental laws to check the increasing cases of liver and lung cancers in the country.
She added, "Tobacco control has been effective all over the world except in developing countries like Nigeria where people smoke at will at any time. Even for those that do not smoke, they inhale smoke from generators and car. If you are around someone that smokes, there is the likelihood that you can inhale 60 per cent of the smoke. You might as well be smoking because you are affected.
"The incidence of lung and liver cancers has been linked with the increased urbanisation. It is the government that can enforce tobacco control and reduce the environmental risks associated with cancer."

"8" year old kid beaten to death by teacher after failing to solve maths equation
An eight-year-old boy was allegedly beaten to death by his teacher for failing to solve an maths problem.
Sujit Munda reportedly died on Sunday, a week after complaining of severe pain following a caning by his tutor.
The schoolboy’s father has filed a police complaint against the teacher, Mohammad Arshad Hussain, Al Jazeera reported.
The 45-year-old has reportedly been suspended from the village school of Balsokra, in the eastern Indian state of Jharkhand.
A post mortem has taken place to determine whether the boy died as a result of the corporal punishment.
A police investigation found the teacher had caned Sujit after he failed to solve the arithmetic problem, according to Al Jazeera.

Windows 2003, Xp to stop functioning as users are adviced to upgrade
Like it or not, global devices and services giant Microsoft has announced the official end of support for Windows XP, Windows XP Professional for Embedded Systems and Office 2003 by April 8, 2014 and therefore urges its customers and partners to migrate to Windows 8 and Office 2013 platform.
Now, ending support in this context means that for Windows XP, Windows XP Professional for Embedded Systems and Office 2003, partners and customers will no longer receive security updates and technical support from Microsoft, which will result in vulnerability to security threats.
According to Oluyomi Alarape, Datacenter Solutions & Sales at Microsoft Nigeria, "There are several re-engineering and attacks that needs to be catered for as a result of the changing technology landscape. Businesses stand to have huge risks if they do not migrate because there will be no security updates to meet security requirements"
In addition, Windows 8 provides mobile security through Bit locker, "Windows To Go", is a full version of Windows 8 on a USB stick which readily support BYOD "Bring Your Own Device" initiatives.
Awawu Olumide-Sojinrin, Acting Country Manager, Microsoft Nigeria while speaking at a media briefing to announce end of support for the Windows XP and Office 2003 in Lagos, explained that Microsoft is proactive in communicating changes that are critical and important to our customers. As a result, she said Microsoft is taking its time to notify its customers and partners ahead of the April 8 2014 deadline.
Windows 8 is Microsoft's latest operating system for modern businesses, building on Windows 7 fundamentals such as speed, reliability and security while creating a modern platform for the new generation of hardware experiences from tablets and innovative touch devices to traditional desktops and laptops.

Tom Arnold Works to Maintain Weight Loss 'Every Day'
Tom Arnold lost 89 lbs. last year by changing his diet and exercising, but continuing to keep a healthy lifestyle is a difficult task he faces each day.
"Every day I'm working at it. It can be challenging and some days I do better than others," Arnold, 54, told PEOPLE at DirecTV's annual Celebrity Beach Bowl football game in New York City on Saturday.
"Every other time I lost weight and got to my goal, I ended up gaining it all back. This time it's a lifestyle change and it's also for my wife [Ashley, 38] and son [Jax, 9 months]. So every day I work on it. I just have to be aware of it and it gets a little bit easier."
But with Sunday's Super Bowl game comes lots of temptation to eat chicken wings, potato chips, pizza and drink beer and soda.
"I know I'm going into this slippery area. I do watch the commercials, and it is brutal because the food looks so good in these commercials, and I'm thinking how am I going to not go off the rails," said the comedian.
His answer is to plan ahead and make sure there are plenty of healthy dishes.
"For the Super Bowl, my wife is making nachos that are wonderful with flax seed, and pizza with a cauliflower crust that's crispy on the outside," said the My Big Redneck Wedding host. "It's healthy and tastes great!"
Arnold admits he will eventually cheat, and that's fine with him.
"I've been going through a lot of airports lately and they have Cinnabon and I know one day I will stop and eat one of those. They are so good," he said with a laugh. "When that happens, I will get back at it and continue to eat healthy and exercise. It's okay to cheat once in a while. I know it's okay."

Taylor Swift: I Find It Easy to Keep My Clothes On
WELCOME TO NERDTWIST
Taylor Swift would like to make one thing very clear: Public nakedness simply isn't her thing.
"I find it relatively easy to keep my clothes on because I don't really feel like taking them off," she tells Glamour for its March cover story, out Feb. 11. "It's not an urge I have."
Besides, the singer-songwriter, 24, says she bares all in a far more intimate way already.
"For me, 'risky' is revealing what really happened in my life through music. Risky is writing confessional songs and telling the true story about a person with enough details so everyone knows who that person is. That's putting myself out there, maybe even more than taking my shirt off," she explains.
It's a risk that's paid off for the Grammy-winning musician, whose latest album, Red, hit No. 1 in more than 50 countries.
While some might not approve of her potentially taking aim so publicly at exes like John Mayer, Jake Gyllenhaal, Harry Styles and Conor Kennedy, the songstress says she's not one to play games while dating – unless provoked.
"I think everyone should approach relationships from the perspective of playing it straight and giving someone the benefit of the doubt. Until he establishes that this is a game," she tells the magazine.
"And if it's a game, you need to win. The best thing to do is just walk away from the table."
