President Goodluck Jonathan on Friday said his sister, Mrs Nancy Oleic-Jonathan, died of a heart-related ailment. Oleic-Jonathan died on January 4 at the age of 52.

10 minutes of chewing gum can remove 100 MILLION bacteria from your mouth-study claims

Image
Y'all wondering if this can be true?. Of course!, it is so true according to researchers. See what UK mail got on it. Chewing gum has been found to remove harmful bacteria from mouths, according to a study. Researchers found that just a single piece of chewing gum can remove 100 million bacteria - 10 per cent of the microbial loadin saliva - in ten minutes. And they say that gum can be just as effective as flossing - although they each targets different areas of the mouth. The study, which appeared in the journal Plos One, was led by researchers from the University of Groningen in the Netherlands. They found that the gum was most effective in the first 30 seconds of chewing, and after that it would become less effective in trapping bacteria on a sliding scale. Also, they note that only gum that did not contain sugar was useful; if it did contain sugar, it could ‘feed’ oral bacteria. In one of their experiments, known numbers of bacteria were finger-chewed into the m...

Saudi blogger’s flogging postponed

Image
The planned flogging of a Saudi blogger convicted of insulting Islam has been delayed for a second straight week, a leading international rights group has said, a move that comes amid mounting pressure from Saudi Arabia’s Western allies for authorities to cancel the punishment. The London-based Amnesty International said on Thursday that about eight doctors carried out medical tests on Raif Badawi, 31, and recommended that he not be flogged this Friday. Saudi authorities postponed his flogging last week after a doctor concluded that his wounds from the first 50 lashes had not yet healed, according to Amnesty. His public flogging on January 9 in the city of Jeddah led to an outpouring of international condemnation. Both the US State Department and the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights called on authorities to rescind the punishment. Sweden’s Foreign Ministry summoned Saudi Arabia’s charge d’affaires on Monday to protest against the flogging.Badawi was arre...

Transformation!: Dogs abandoned for 9 years given dramatic makeover [See Photos]

Image
Nine dogs have been found abandoned in such a poor state they were unable to see or stand properly. The nine animals were found in such a poor state - with long matted fur covering their faces - that at first RSPCA officers in Winchester didn't even realise they were dogs. The pets were found across the city yesterday, Each dog took around three hours to shave. Winchester City Council's senior animal welfare officer, Dave Griffiths, said: 'In my 25 years of being in this line of work I've never seen anything like it.''My guess is that the puppies were mistreated all their lives and have always been in awful conditions. 'I suspect they have been keeping them in an outside outhouse or a shed.'I certainly think they were kept outside in a building of some sort.'I can't understand how someone would let it get to that extent. To let a dog get to that stage is something I have never seen before. 'The mum is very people shy and she was in a ver...
