Miley Cyrus to be studied as a course in College

 Skidmore College is offering a course called "The Sociology of Miley Cyrus: Race, Class, Gender, and Media." Yes, you can study Miley Cyrus and get school credit for it at the same time.
  Carolyn Chernoff, a Visiting Assistant Professor of Sociology, will teach the class at the private liberal arts school located in Saratoga Springs, New York.
 "From Disney Tween to twerking machine, Miley Cyrus has grown in the eyes of the public, trying on and discarding very different identities onscreen and off," reads the course description. "She provides rich excamples for analysing aspects of intersectional identities and media representation."
  Some of those examples include: "Uses of culture across race, class and gender," "Bisexuality, queerness, and the female body," "The Rise of the Disney Princess," and Gender Stratification and the hyper-commodification of childhood."

Nine-month-old Baby Currently Facing Charges In Court For Attempted Murder

 Baby Muhammad Mosa Khan is one of more than 30 people facing charges after a police raid to catch suspected gas thieves in the city of Lahore, The News website reports. Police say the suspects tried to murder security officers by pelting them with stones. But the Times of India newspaper quotes the infant's father as saying the group was protesting against an electricity shortage.

Inspector Kashif Muhammad, who attended the alleged crime scene and has since been suspended, wrote in his report that it was a case of attempted murder.

Appearing in a packed court room with others accused in the case on Thursday, Musa was seen crying as his grandfather Muhammad Yasin held him on his shoulder.

Yasin later fed him milk from a bottle while fielding questions from reporters.

"Everyone in the court was saying 'How can such a small child be implicated in any case'? What kind of police do we have?" the 50-year-old labourer said.

The charge is in direct contradiction with Pakistan's minimum age of criminal responsibility, which was raised from seven to 12 years in 2013 except in terrorism cases.

Multiple Sclerosis: The Disease That Killed Zara Gretti

Until now, I never knew how dangerous multiple sclerosis was. I thought it was one of those illnesses that would fade with time till it claimed her life. I can't deny that I was ignorant about the situation but I have decided to enlighten myself about it. So, here we go; 

MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS:
  This is an inflammatory disease which affects the brain and spinal cord by damaging the covers of the nerve cells. It interrupts the communication brought about by the nervous system thereby resulting in physical, mental or psychiatric problems among other signs and symptoms. The name multiple sclerosis refers to scars (sclerae—better known as plaques or lesions) in particular in the white matter of the brain and spinal cord.
  The cause of this disease is not yet clear but scientists suspect genetics and infection from the environments as possible causes. It is usually diagnosed based on the present signs and symptoms in addition to medical test results. However, there is no known cure for multiple sclerosis. Treatments are taken to control the situation after an attack and to prevent subsequent ones. The disease usually begins between the ages of 20 and 50 and is twice as common in women as in men.
  You can imagine the trauma she passed through. It is well with you Zara Love, God Rest Your Soul! It is also surprising how much wasn't said about her all the while she was hospitalised unlike OJB Jezreel as if she was never part of the Nigerian music industry. Despite her struggle, she was able to raise some money for her treatment. Quite Sad! Nevertheless, I'm stil rocking your unique single - Aboko ku. Adieu!!

Amazing Benefits of Yoghurt

It is quite surprising how much we stand to gain from some foods that we might regard as junk or dessert but we love to eat them anyway. I'm a huge fan of this dairy product and I hv become so obssessed with it that I decided to embark on a research to actually back up my undying affinity towards it and I decided to share a few among many facts that I came across.

 1. Facial Scrub:
 With a mixture of almond fruits (powder) or oil, honey and some lemon juice, yoghurt can be used for exfoliating the top layers of the epidermis. It reduces wrinkles. It can be used to enhance the skin from discoloration, smoothens it. Also bear in mind that olive oil can be used in place of almond oil. It's your choice.

 2. Superb Cleaner:
  For some of us that have possessions made of brass and are worried about why they are no longer appealing in the eyes as they were when we got them initially, do not worry - Yoghurt to the Rescue! Yoghurt is said to contain lactic acid, a component for chemical peels, hence eating away the tarnish. Your brass possessions can regain their lustre by: Getting a clean and wet cloth, drop some tablespoons of plain yoghurt on it, use it to rub on the brass objects until they become shiny. After that, wipe off excess yoghurt by washing with soap and hot water. Wipe with a clean cloth to obtain the desired spark.
 3. Blood Pressure Regulator:
  Consuming fat-free and low-fat yogurt may help lower your risk of developing high blood pressure. Special proteins in dairy regulate BP, and high levels of calcium, magnesium, and potassium contribute to the blood pressure-lowering effect. 

4. Boosts Sexual Libido In Men:
 Red Bull might give you wings, but yogurt gives you bigger cojones. According to research, yoghurt contains probiotic microbes which reduces fat, makes one look slimmer and healthier. Another benefit of yogurt is the improvement of semen quality in men. So when next your girlfriend offers you yogurt, kindly accept .

5. Controls Possible Risk of Vaginal Infection:
 The normal pH of a vagina is 4.0 - 4.5. Studies have shown that women with diabetes are more susceptible to yeast vagina infection also known as Candida. As a result, the pH rises to 6.0. However, on consumption of yoghurt, there have been significant changes in pH of the vagina from 6.0 to 4.0. It is also necessary to note that this is possible only when yoghurts contain active cultures. Eating yoghurts without active cultures will have no effect on the pH of the vagina. I hope I'v been able to entertain you with a few facts about my favorite form of beverage.
Thanks for your time!
