One evening, a policeman  saw a man busily tossing his hands and fingers in the bushes just under a street light. Amazed by what this man was doing, the policeman pulled over, parked the police patrol car and got out of the car marching towards this man. 
 
"Hey, what is going on? Is everything okay?", the policeman asked the man who seemed to have had enough to drink and probably lost something of his along the line. "No mate! I just lost my keys." he replied. The policeman, thought it wise to help this man find his so called "lost keys'. 
 
Over half an hour of searching and searching almost everywhere possible hoping to find the keys, the policeman got tired of searching for something which almost seemed invisible and asked this man, "Are you sure you misplaced your keys around this place?" "Um, I guess not." the man replied. "Then why are we looking for it here", the policeman inquired. "Because this is where the lights are", the man answered. 
 
What would you do to this man if you were the policeman? Don't you think he deserved to be.... ? 
 
I mean how on earth can you misplace something in a dark room and go out to search for it under the street lights? 
 
Funny enough, that is exactly how some (if not most) of us behave. We almost always look elsewhere or blame someone else when in fact the original "devil" is inside us. We throw things around our environment and expect to be free from mosquito bites in our rooms because we think we don't sleep in the gutters so even if mosquitoes breed out of the gutters where we throw the filth, they won't get to our rooms to bite us. Sorry, but the mosquitoes feed on blood so definitely, they will come chasing us one day.

Nurse Kills 38 Patients For Irritating Her

Italian police have arrested a nurse suspected of killing at least 38
 of her patients because they, or their relatives, were irritating her. 
The officials also found a selfie, with the nurse giving a thumbs-up in 
front of a recently deceased patient.

Daniela Poggiali, 42, a
 hospital nurse was arrested in her native town of Lugo in the
 northern Italian region of Emilia-Romagna, a province of Ravenna,
 reported Corriere della Sera, an Italian daily newspaper.

The police suspect her of the murder of an elderly patient, Rosa
 Calderoni, 78, who was taken to hospital with a routine illness.
 Tests showed that Calderoni died of an injection of potassium
 chloride, a medical substance, which can trigger cardiac arrest.

Potassium leaves no traces in the patient’s bloodstream after a
 few days and it makes it more difficult to investigate the case,
 the prosecutors told Corriere della Sera.

The investigation revealed that the nurse was not only culpable
 of Calderoni’s death but also the deaths of at least 38 patients.
 All of them were reportedly murdered in 2014. At least 200
 witnesses gave testimonies against ‘the worst nurse.’

Police officers also found a scandalous selfie of the nurse
 smiling and giving a thumbs-up in front of a recently deceased
 patient, Chief Prosecutor Alessandro Mancini told a press
 conference.

“I can assure you in that in all my professional years of
 seeing shocking photos, there were few such as these,” added
 Manchini, adding that the nurse was “unperturbed” during
 her arrest.

"When we went to arrest her, she was silent, impassive,"
 he said.

One of the nurse’s colleague spoke of her as a "cold person
 but always eager to work."

Other medical personnel at the hospital added that they suspected
 her of giving the patients doses of laxatives, drugs that
 facilitate or increase bowel movements, at the end of her shift.
 They said Poggiali did this to annoy and embarrass them.

"We wondered whether these deaths could be so frequent
 without anyone doing anything," a co-worker told Corriere
 della Sera.

The
 purchase includes two separate parcels: the Kahu'aina Plantation, a 
357-acre former sugarcane plantation, and Pila'a Beach, a 393-acre 
property with a white-sand beach.

Zuckerberg paid a reported $100
 million for both properties which currently houses about two dozen small huts used by locals as vacation 
spots or permanent homes. It’s rumored that Zuckerberg is paying these 
residents large sums of money to vacate so that his compound can be 
totally secluded, though a source tells Forbes that he plans
 to build just one home.

In sum, I can say Mark Zuckerberg just bought part of Hawaii. Yeah, he just bought part of a state!However, he will be joining the likes of Michael Dell, Larry Ellison and Steve Case who are already owing expensive properties in Hawaii.

(18+) BBA Contestants "Showered" With Their Underwears On

The "Shower Hour" is a special segment of the Big Brother Africa (BBA) Show where housemates or contestants are given what is affectionately called the "HotShot" shower session.  
 
However, most housemates prefer to 
take their shower with their underwear on unlike previous seasons and 
both male and females share the same bathroom like previous seasons and 
they are very much aware that it will be broadcasted to the whole of 
Africa. The “Shower hour” and uncut videos can only be seen 
exclusively on a special section on the Big Brother website “BBVIP” 
where viewers have to pay extra to be able access the videos from the 
shower hour.

Shocking: Why You Should Never Drink "Coke"

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yuED4I_lk1A/VEFIpzEGS0I/AAAAAAAAA-M/8h-gaYbA8lQ/s1600/images.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="299" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yuED4I_lk1A/VEFIpzEGS0I/AAAAAAAAA-M/8h-gaYbA8lQ/s1600/images.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
 If you knew you would need to go for a four-mile run to burn off the calories you have consumed, would you drink a bottle of Coca-Cola? Scientists are calling for exercise data to be printed on packaging - because they think calorific information is meaningless to most people. A 500ml bottle of Coke, for example, contains 210 calories, more than a 10th of the daily recommended intake for a woman. But US scientists think that statistic is ignored by most people and does not work as a health message. Instead, telling them that it would take a 4.2 mile run or 42-minute walk to burn off the calories is far more effective. The researchers, from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore, found that teenagers given the information chose healthier drinks or smaller bottles. Other scientists have called for the same approach to be taken in fast food restaurants. They say that if a menu tells you a double cheeseburger will take a 5.6-mile hike before the calories are burned off, most people would rather choose a smaller hamburger which would require a walk of 2.6 miles. The findings, published in the American Journal of Public Health, adds to growing evidence suggesting that calorific information is ignored by most people. Study leader Professor Sara Bleich said: ‘People don’t really understand what it means to say a typical soda has 250 calories. ‘If you’re going to give people calorie information, there’s probably a better way to do it. ‘What our research found is that when you explain calories in an easily understandable way such as how many miles of walking needed to burn them off, you can encourage behaviour change.’ The research team displayed signs in six corner shops in Baltimore, presenting facts about a 590ml bottles of fizzy drinks.The signs said that to burn off the 250 calories in the drinks would require 50 minutes of running or a five-miles walk. The scientists found that customers bought far more healthy drinks once the signs went up. The average calories of the drinks they purchased dropped from 203 calories to 179. Water purchases, meanwhile, increased from 1 per cent to 4 per cent. Prof Bleich said the findings were especially relevant for young people. ‘This is a very low-cost way to get children old enough to make their own purchases to drink fewer sugar-sweetened beverages and they appear to be effective even after they are removed. ‘There is a strong scientific link between consumption of sugary beverages and obesity. Using these easy-to-understand and easy-to-install signs may help promote obesity prevention or weight loss.’ Separate research found that the same idea worked in fast food restaurants. Scientists at the University of North Carolina found that exercise information persuaded people to choose more healthy food on menus. Professor Anthony Viera at the University of North Carolina said: ‘We believe that labels displaying information about physical activity will allow people to better appreciate the trade-offs of high-calorie foods, and thereby influence them to make choices for foods with lower calories. ‘And we think that labelling foods like this may even have the extra benefit of promoting physical activity.'
