Jide Kosoko's Daughter, Bidemi Disgraced In Ibadan

Nollywood actor, Prince Jide Kosoko's daughter, Bidemi Kosoko is presently a youth corp member at Ibadan, Oyo state, Nigeria.

However, many of her fellow corp members are currently complaining about her snobbish attitude and what some of them have termed as arrogance. 

According to impeccable sources, whenever some of the other corp members who have seen her movies approach her just to say 'Hi', Bidemi has a way of looking down on them.

Recently, according to an eyewitness, a female Batch A corp member said to her, "sister, please it's like I have seen your face before", but to the lady's disappointment, Bidemi just looked at the woman from head to toe and walked away," the source said. 

It was also gathered that because of her celebrity status, Bidemi also expects to get preferential treatments at her Community Development Service(CDS). According to what another source said, Bidemi, who was posted to Ibadan North Local Government recently came late for her clearance but was trying to jump the queue, but not giving a dime about her status or her father's, her Local Government Inspector(LGI) Mrs. Ologundudu, a no-nonsense woman told her point blank to go and join the queue.

Apparently, this action allegedly embarrassed her

Rafael Nadal Falls Behind David Ferrer in Rankings

Rafael Nadal is playing as well as anyone in the sport of tennis, but he is still losing ground in the world rankings.

On Sunday, the Spanish star won his eighth career French Open with a 6-3, 6-2, 6-3 win over compatriot David Ferrer. It was his seventh tournament title of the year since returning from a knee injury, and it was the fourth championship in a row.

That didn't help him with his world ranking, though:

cats springing through the air with claws

Leaping through the air with their claws outstretched, these fearsome felines look like something out of a kung fu movie.

But the mortal tom-cats are really just chasing after and playing with cuddly toys handled by keen photographer and cat-lover Seiji Mamiya.

Mr Mamiya, 39, began snapping pictures of the cats outside his home over a year ago as a way of taking his mind off work.

Mr Mamiya, from Japan, said: 'I take the jump shots by playing with the cat. I shake a toy and when the cat runs towards it I raise the toy upwards.

'Their figure was so graceful so I decided to take pictures. The unusual jump shot cannot be photographed usually and when I looked back at them they looked like ninjas.

Encouragement: Mr Mamiya, from Japan, said: 'I take the jump shots by playing with the cat. I shake a toy and when the cat runs towards it I raise the toy upwards'

'I like their free and natural behaviour and, of course, I also like their lovely faces.

'The images of the cats flying across the skyline and the sun is really stunning.

'In future I would like to take a jump shot of the moment a big cat is hunting in the wild - but I need to find a way of it being less dangerous.'

Intelligent robot system recycles waste

A robotic recycling system could help address the escalating global waste problem, according to Finnish technology company ZenRobotics.

The ZenRobotics Recycler (ZRR) is an intelligent robotic system which separates construction materials on a conveyer belt, plucking out recyclable materials and depositing them in bins for collection. The system is designed to replace manual sorting, which can be dangerous and frequently prohibitively expensive.

Bombers strike market; 15 dead

Baghdad-- A string of car bombs killed 15 people and wounded 30 others near Baghdad on Monday, an Iraqi parliament member

Three bombs targeting a vegetable market went off in quick succession, Husain Hamham said. The incident occurred in Jadidat al-Shat in Diyala province, about 10 kilometers, or more than six miles, north of Baghdad.

Iraq has been beset with political and sectarian violence in recent months. Iraqi and international leaders fear that tensions between Sunnis and Shiites could escalate and bring a return of the full-blown sectarian war that raged last decade.

More Breast-Feeding Could Save Billions and Prevent Thousands of Breast-Cancer Cases

Thanks to public-health messages, everyone pretty much knows that breast-feeding is beneficial for baby. But it’s also really good for mom, and now a new study quantifies just how good.

If new moms adhered to the recommended guidelines that urge them to breast-feed each child they give birth to for at least one year, they could theoretically stave off up to 5,000 cases of breast cancer, about 54,000 cases of hypertension and nearly 14,000 heart attacks annually.

Averting those diseases could also save $860 million, according to research published in Obstetrics & Gynecology.

Those figures, while significant and intriguing, are not actual numbers from documented cases. Rather, they’re the result of a sophisticated statistical model used to compare the effect of current breast-feeding rates in the U.S. to ideal rates.

The study, led by Harvard researcher Dr. Melissa Bartick, simulated the experiences of about 2 million U.S. women from the time they were 15 until they turned 70, estimating outcomes and cumulative costs over the decades in between.

Number crunchers ran the data applying current breast-feeding rates — about 25% of U.S. women breast-feed for the recommended 12 months per child — and again assuming that 90% of women embraced the guidelines. “To be totally scientifically accurate, those are costs for a cohort of women in a certain year,” says Bartick, an assistant professor of internal medicine at Harvard Medical School. “If breast-feeding rates change, the cost would be different.”

Still, she says, the point is that breast-feeding boosts mom’s health in a big way. “We know that 60% of women don’t even meet their personal breast-feeding goals, whether it’s three or four or six months,” says Bartick. “We need to do more to support women so they can breast-feed longer. There are thousands of needless cases of disease and death that could be prevented.”
