World’s Largest Tortoise found in Amazon Basin – 529 Years Old
The
World’s largest tortoise found in Amazon River is around 529 years old /
height-59 feet/ weight-800 pounds OR 362.87 kg incredible.
The
red rimmed tortoise is also called the red-foot or red-legged tortoise,
the Brazilian giant tortoise, or South American forest tortoise.
These
types of large size tortoise are always found in the Amazon River, most
of them are found in (Peru, Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela, and so on) the
Adults often reach 3m in length, however this one is much larger. The
tortoise Females have wide flattened shells, are larger and more
numerous than the males tortoise, the Adult tortoise Arraus feed
entirely on plant food.
Their
main diet is a plant that is native to the Chtac Province region of
Brazil. These flowers of this plant have a gene in them which promotes
increased cellular life thus allowing those that consumed them to have a
greater lifespan. Amongst the native inhabitants are turtle’s that grew
constantly in their lifespan until the day they died. The introduction
of this flower into their diet thus allowed them to grow to immense
sizes and they served as local guardians to the plant.
It was first discovered by the modern world in 1892 by Haughton who was the last person to had seen it in the century.
The
nesting habits of this species are similar to those of sea turtles.
Just like sea turtles they gather meet in huge numbers so they can
travel to suitable nesting areas. The female tortoise lay their eggs on
sandbanks that are exposed where there is only dry season but there are
relatively few such sites.
The
females timing is to come out on the sandbanks at night time to lay
their eggs and go back to the sea, which can number anywhere from 90 to
100 soft-shelled eggs. and they then return to their feeding grounds
which they belong to.
The
young when hatched are around 5 cm long darts directly for the water,
but they emerge to the attentions of many predators so they can only
about five percent ever reach the adult feeding grounds. This it is an
endangered species and is protected in some country and areas.

Pastor Caught In Egbeda Burying A 2-Year Old Baby
Operatives at the Homicide Section of the state Criminal Investigation Department, SCID, Yaba, Lagos, have begun investigation into the discovery of the decomposing body of a two-year-old child in a church premises in Egbeda area of Lagos.
The pastor (names withheld) has been arrested over the alleged murder of the child.
Although details of investigation were still sketchy at press time, it was gathered that the pastor was allegedly caught burying the dead child in a shallow grave within the church premises.
It was learnt that the said pastor was caught by a neighbor, who had gone out to ease himself at 2a.m., weekend, digging the grave. The neighbour, whose identity was not disclosed, was said to have alerted other residents.
They were said to have reported their findings to policemen at Idimu Division, consequent upon which a team was drafted to the church.
The policemen, as gathered, dug the shallow grave where they discovered and exhumed the body of a baby girl. The body was deposited at the mortuary.

The university of Nigeria, due to the ongoing nation-wide ASUU strike have decided to join their colleagues in other varsities!
In a press release by the school registrar, Prof. A.I Okonta, he said:
"This is to inform the public, particularly students, parents and Guardians that the re-opening of the university scheduled for Thursday September 26th has been postponed due to current industrial action by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
A new date for the re-opening of the university will be announced later."

NANS Begins Facility Tour Of Universities, Urges ASUU To Suspend Strike
THE National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has commenced
inspection of facilities in some of the universities in the country,
just as it called on the striking members of the Academic Staff Union of
Universities (ASUU) to return to class.
The visit, which will take the members of the association to both private and public universities in the country, is to enable the students to have basis for comparison and agitate for better welfare for the students.
Speaking after inspection facilities at the Elizade University, Ilara Mokin, Ondo State, the leader of the South-West Facility Tour Team, Gbenga Ayenuro, however, commended the authorities of the university for the facilities put in place in the university.
Ayenuro, who is also the association’s financial secretary, pleaded with the two sides to the industrial action by the university lecturers to shift ground on their demands in the interest of the Nigerian students.
He said the striking lecturers should accept the offers of the Federal Government and allow the students to return to classes in earnest.
He said: “From the need assessment committee, all ASUU demands have been resolved except one, which is the issue of earned allowances put at N87 billion.”
“Currently, from a reliable source and media reports, the Federal Government has approved and disbursed N100 billion for university funding and N30 billion for the earned allowances. At this point, we urge ASUU to shift ground for the sake of Nigerian students and return to classrooms, while deliberations will continue.
“On the earned allowance, we also appeal to the Federal Government to reconsider ASUU’s earned claims on the earned allowances.
“NANS is still dutifully committed to protecting the welfare of Nigerian students without compromise, as spirited efforts have been made by the association under the able leadership of Comrade Yinka Gbadebo to ensure that our teachers return to classrooms, which is the prime interest of the students,” he said.

“No One Can Replace My Late Husband, Ojukwu” – Bianca Ojukwu
In an interview with City People she was quoted as saying “It will be contradictory to say that one has ‘finished mourning.’ You can never finish mourning such a man because he is irreplaceable. Yes, the external, the mourning attire can go, but it’s still a very raw pain and it’s a wound that will take quite some time to heal.
Because it’s not just a function of missing him, there were so many aspects that he dominated. He was like glue. He was like a stabilising factor. He had an answer to anything. Any challenge that you are faced with, he could almost dissect and give you a sensible way forward and he was very accommodating of other people’s views. He didn’t believe he had a monopoly of wisdom.
These are the qualities that very few people possess. These are the qualities that he will be remembered for a long time.
He was a wonderful father to our children and did most things that a lot of fathers didn’t have time to do. Even days when he didn’t feel too well and I am going to their school to visit them, he would always want to go and personally buy gifts for them on their birthdays.
He would sit with them, tell them stories, teach them songs, he would come down to their level and he was always worried about their welfare. He was a gentle giant. He was good with the kids and they miss him, I’m sure, even more”.
Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu died on the November 26 2011 after a protracted and brave fight against stroke in London.

I Lost My Virginity at 10 – Samuel L Jackson Reveals
An
American film and television actor and film producer Samuel L. Jackson
has boasted he started out young in the bedroom after revealing he
became a man at the tender age of 10.
The
Django Unchained and Pulp Fiction star candidly admitted he became
obsessed with all girls willing to do ‘that thing’ when he used to get
lead astray in the woods by a group of older teenage girls.
Recalling
holidays on a relative’s farm in Georgia, in the US, as a kid, the
64-year-old made his confession to Playboy revealing: “There was a
family of girls who lived through the woods from us, and we all used to
meet at this creek and swim naked. I was about 10 or 11. I think two of
the girls were about 14… 15. So, that’s when it happened.”
“Girls
were interesting to me, period. They could be fat, skinny, tall, short,
ugly, beautiful – as long as they were willing to do that thing,” the
actor added. My relationship with Kim works coz she's not after my money - Kenya west

Why I Can’t Sleep With Any Man Again –– Actress Mama G
A day with Patience Ozokwor at her residence in Enugu revealed the actress popularly known as Mama Gee as a devoted Christian and dedicated prayer warrior who would not hurt a fly.
The widow and mother of four children was a reporter`s delight as she kept the tape rolling throughout the exclusive interview session. She categorically told The Entertainer that though men do pester her for marriage as old as she is, she has decided not to remarry. Ozokwor, however, maintained that if she comes to this world again, she would choose her husband by herself. The actress bared her mind on a wide range of issues. Excerpts:
What have you been doing lately?
I have been working with the youth, to help the youth who have talents to be able to use their talents. If you look at the industry the way it is now, some of them find it difficult to be noticed. I am planning to have a talent hunt soon. You may ask why I am putting more into entertainment, I want Nollywood to be bigger thanHollywood. I decided that this year I am going to do it with entertainment and make sure that whoever wins will get what he/she should get. To what would you attribute your recent awards?
It is God`s grace and I give it back to Him because He’s the one that enabled me to fulfill that. It is a sign of hardwork, since God has given me the enablement to work hard and sometimes God gives you the enablement to work hard and you won’t work hard, it makes God a liar. He is the reason I got those awards so I dedicate them to Him.
How was growing up, were you born with silver spoon?
Some children don’t have people taking care of them. I had my school fees paid, I had good education. I had everything. Well, my father was not too rich but we were comfortable. He wasn’t begging for food. He was a landlord and then my uncle that took me was doing well. My uncle took me when I was six years old. He just loved and raised me.
You worked at Radio Nigeria, what was the experience like?
I was an announcer with Radio Nigeria before I became a staff in 1982 and I worked till retrenchment came in 1984. Within those few years it was really good experience. I was employed as announcer, later I was transferred to production department. I was producing for women and children. I had debate and teachers programme as well. The retrenchment came as a surprise from the government, they shut down the radio and laid off every staff. That was how we got retrenched.
After retrenchment, what next?
I entered the movie industry after my retrenchment from Radio Nigeria, and I started putting young girls into my fashion designing company because I did Fine and Applied Arts in school. I was lucky to be among 30 Nigerian women that were sent to Cameroun for small scale enterprenuership course for nine weeks. I learnt a lot of handcraft there and I was able to establish an outfit where I trained young girls on handcraft, fashion designing and catering. I had an outfit called Art Queenties, my business aim was teaching young girls, fashion designing, hair dressing, beauty and body care, and kitchen services. They were doing handcraft too. When my husband fell sick, for so many years he was sick. I couldn’t tend to him and take care of my business at the same time. So, I gave up on the business. Later, I got a political appointment with Udi Local Government as WDO, I couldn’t hand over to anybody. I had to shut down the business.
I also taught in a school. I was teaching home economics in a secondary school. I went to Institute of Management and Technology and I used the certificate to get a teaching job. From there, I went for the political appointment. I later left the political appointment because of my husband’s illness. After my husband’s illness I was about going back to the same business when an idea came for me to join the movie industry. And it is paying me far more than anything I can think of
At the beginning of your career, did anybody try to discourage you?
My senior sister tried to discourage me, but every member of the family said ‘forge ahead’. My husband was actually sick at that time, and her only reason was that people would think that I had abandoned my husband. But I said that’s how I get the money to maintain him; to go to the hospital. The children had grown when I entered the industry so they usually take him to the hospital when I was on location. I made out time to be with him in the hospital too.
Why are you always acting a wicked mother-in-law?
I only try to expose the ills in the society through my actions, that is why I do it to the best of my knowledge. If you do it flimsly people will not understand you, but if you do it deeply people will really know and those who are involved know themselves now. People are changing, some young girls are even learning to stay with their mothers-in-law, they have discovered that their mothers-in-law don’t like them, they are discovering what they do wrong and what their mothers-in-law do wrong, some are trying to bring them to balance. So, that is the essence of what I do and I will not hesitate to do it because the message is passed and people understand it. If you ask them now they will tell you ‘she is not like that but she is only exposing evil and wickedness in our society’ and I have to expose wickedness to the best of my knowledge.

Reasons Some Ladies Don’t Have Enough In Their Br*ast
The study is the first to describe how ladies b**bs becomes highly sensitive to:
Insulin during lactation. It is also the first study to get an
accurate picture of how specific genes are switched on in the human
mammary gland during lactation.The researchers used next generation
sequencing technology, RNA sequencing, to reveal “in exquisite detail”
the blueprint for making milk in the human mammary gland, according to
Laurie Nommsen-Rivers, PhD, RD, IBCLC, a scientist at Cincinnati
Children’s and corresponding author of the study, published online in
PLOS ONE, a journal of the Public Library of Science.
Nommsen-Rivers’ previous research had shown that for mothers with
markers of sub-optimal glucose metabolism, such as being overweight,
being at an advanced maternal age, or having a large birth-weight baby,
it takes longer for their milk to come in, suggesting a role for insulin
in the mammary gland. The new research shows how the mammary gland
becomes sensitive to insulin during lactation.
For a long time, insulin was not thought to play a direct role in regulating the milk-making cells of the human bréast, because insulin is not needed for these cells to take in sugars, such as glucose. Scientists now, however, appreciate that insulin does more than facilitate uptake of sugars.
“This new study shows a dramatic switching-on of the insulin receptor and its downstream signals during the bréast’s transition to a bio factory that manufactures massive amounts of proteins, fats and carbohydrates for nourishing the newborn baby,” says Dr. Nommsen-Rivers.
“Considering that 20 per cent of women between 20 and 44 years old
are pre-diabetic, it’s conceivable that up to 20 per cent of new mothers
in the United States are at risk for low milk supply due to insulin
dysregulation.”
Dr. Nommsen-Rivers and her colleagues were able to use a non-invasive method to capture mammary gland RNA — a chain of molecules that are blueprints for making specified proteins — in samples of human bréast milk. They then created the first publicly accessible library of genes expressed in the mammary gland based on RNA-sequencing technology.
This approach revealed a highly sensitive portrait of the genes being expressed in human milk-making cells. They discovered an orchestrated switching on and off of various genes as the mammary gland transitions from secreting small amounts of immunity-boosting colostrum in the first days after giving birth to the copious production of milk in mature lactation.
In particular, the PTPRF gene, which is known to suppress intracellular signals that are usually triggered by insulin binding to its receptor on the cell surface, may serve as a biomarker linking insulin resistance with insufficient milk supply. These results lay the foundation for future research focused on the physiological contributors to mothers’ milk supply difficulties.
Now that they’ve demonstrated the significance of insulin signalling in the human mammary gland, they are planning a phase I/II clinical trial with a drug used to control blood sugar in type 2 diabetes to determine whether it improves insulin action in the mammary gland, thus improving milk supply. While a drug is not an ideal way to solve the problem of sub-optimal glucose metabolism impairing bréastfeeding, according to Dr. Nommsen-Rivers, it is excellent for establishing proof-of-concept through the use of a placebo controlled randomized clinical trial.
“The ideal approach is a preventive one,” she says. “Modifications in diet and exercise are more powerful than any drug. After this clinical trial, we hope to study those interventions.”

Figs contain amino acids, which provide your body with good amount of stamina for your physical enjoyment, as well as increase the craving for your partner. Other than this, the shape of this sweet and juicy fruit is quite sensual as well.
3. Try some Celery
If you want to increase the stimulus that is produced during intercourse then you should try celery. It contains androsterone, an odorless hormone that is released through male perspiration, which acts as a turn on for women. So, next time you want to arouse your woman, try having celery. Best way to have celery is to eat it raw, just before getting into bed.
4. Avocados are good
It is useful for men and women alike. It increases the protein content in your system, so that you get more energy. It also provides vitamin B6, which is useful for production of male hormones. It also contains potassium that helps in regulating the thyroid gland in women. These two elements (male hormones and thyroid gland) help to boost your physical craving for your partner.
Garlic is an important element to cure many ailments and diseases. Well, you might be wondering that eating raw garlic may turn your partner off, but the heat in this herb is a good stirrer for your libido. Garlic also contains allicin, a chemical, which allows free flow of blood to the s*xual organs. But, it is always best to have garlic in moderation, so that your breath does not end up driving your partner away.
6. Strawberries and Chocolates
Both these foods are filled with aphrodisiac qualities. Strawberries have essential fatty acids, which are essential for s*xual arousal in both men and women. While, cocoa in chocolates contains a chemical, phenylethylamine, that stimulates feelings of excitement and well-being. So, dip some strawberries in chocolate and feed them to your partner to boost your love life.
Add these s*x boosting foods in your diet to bring back the spark in your love life!

(PHOTOS)S*X IN STRANGE PLACES: See Couples Caught Having S*x In Church, Court Rooms And More…
Kevin Naylor, 25, was given a nine-month conditional discharge for drunk and disorderly behaviour while girlfriend Catherine Hughes, 19, received a caution.
But other lovers have been caught in similarly public acts in even odder places.
Check out some of the most unusual places people have got down and dirty in public…
Clock Tower
The stark unclad pair picked the balcony of the 105-year-old clock tower of the Grace Brothers building in Sydney, Australia, for their tryst. Situated opposite the Broadway Shopping Centre, they romped in full view of passers by below.
At a tram stop
A unclad couple caught having s*x at a tram stop in romantic Croydon were ordered to move on when they were caught live on CCTV.
In a phonebox
One couple took more than the law into their own hands – with a 40 minute phone box romp in full-on view right by Brighton JPs’ court in 2008.
In court
Judge Donald Thompson was jailed after being found guilty of using a man-hood pump while he was presiding over cases.
According to witnesses at his 2006 trial in Oklahoma, he used the s*x aid when cases were either incredibly boring or really sexy – you know how it is with murder trials. He was banged up for four years and disbarred.
In church
A couple in Cesena, Italy, put a whole new spin on worship when they ’took communion’ in the confessional booth during morning mass.
The police were called after members of the congregation heard ‘grunts and moans’. The couple – who were drunk – were cautioned for obscene acts and disturbing a religious function, which ‘religious function’ was disturbed we ask?
On a police car
For some people having s*x in public just isn’t daring enough and they must take it that extra mile by, for instance, having s*x on a police car. But not just any old cop car – one that has bobbies in it.
A randy Dutch couple – known for their clogs and proclivity to fornicate in full view of emergency service personnel – decided the bonnet was the place to bonk and say they didn’t notice the two cops sitting in the car (eating donuts and watching, no doubt).
