Scientists Want to Pay You N5m to Lie in Bed for 60 Days.


Lie in bed for 60 days, earn N5m. That’s the job schedule.

Well, no one needs a university degree to qualify.
Nor does anyone lack the requisite experience for a 60-day job that will fetch them a cool and effortless N5m.
Call it the dream job and you’ll be right; because all you need do is to lie down in bed and simply allow scientists to fuss over you! And then the pay cheque greets you ‘Good morning’ on the 60th day!

This is no April Fool gimmick, as the researchers at the Institute for Space Medicine and Physiology in Toulouse, France, have expressed the willingness to pay £13,000 to participants, just to find out the effects of prolonged weightlessness on the body.

It was reported by the French newspaper 20 Minutes.
Half of the participants will take drugs to counteract the effects of weightlessness, while the other group won’t.

The idea is that lying down for that long will mimic the effects of being weightless on the body.
The coordinating doctor, Dr. Arnaud Beck, says, “The idea of this study is to reproduce the weightlessness of the International Space Station, ISS.
“During the first two weeks, our scientists will do a whole series of tests and measurements on the volunteers.
“This will be followed by a 60-day period during which they must remain in bed, the head slightly inclined downwards at less than six degrees.

Rarer are the songs that consider the long haul of enduring love. ... exhausting day, they let their lover go to sleep without getting to the end of their story. ... 
Everybody says, 
Let's, let's stay together and be HAPPY

Why She Broke Up With Me - George.

I fell in love with a lady who listens only to what Mummy says.

I met Queen (as fondly called by all) during our service days in Kwara State at the Orientation Camp. She was so innocent in all things, that you will wonder how she made it through her University. I love her just the way she is and was ready to accept her that way.
We were good lovers for the one year we spent together in Ilorin Town. 


After service we both returned to join our parents in Lagos and we planned to take our relationship to the next level. One day she called me up and told me her mum will like to meet me has she has told her a lot about me. I was so happy to hear that and we agreed on the next weekend because of our work.

I went to visit her parent, they were good people, her father was very nice and welcoming but I noticed that her mother call the shut in their house but it was not a business of mine if they are all happy together and also noticed her mum was not really happy to have me around so I was not surprised when Queen called me the following day to tell me that she cannot continue with the relationship because her mum said she (mum) does not like me.

She said "I love you so much, but I cannot go ahead if my mum does not like you".
I heard she is still single and waiting for mummy's choice after five years now.

Robert Kelly's Live BBC Interview Gatecrashed by Kids.



Live television always leaves room for hilarious gaffes - which is exactly what happened when a BBC debate on South Korea was interrupted by the interviewee's children.

The hilarious footage shows expert Robert Kelly, an associate professor of Political Science at Pusan National University in Busan, handling serious questions on the country's president, Park Geun-hye, being ousted from power.

But suddenly, a toddler bursts into the room in a bright yellow top and performs a comical dance behind the Cleveland, Ohio, native.

Kelly, 44, who was born and studied in the US before moving to Korea as a political science professor, focuses entirely on the camera as he attempts to blindly hand off his daughter, who is clearly curious as to who he is talking to.

And his parental problems soon double as a baby also excitedly makes his way into the room under his own power in a walker.

Evicted #BBNaija Housemate, Gifty, Finally Admits Marriage.

Evicted Big Brother Naija housemate (#BBNaija), Gifty Brian (Ajumobi) popularly known as "Gifty" in the on-going reality TV show on Tuesday admitted that she was once married after several denials.

Before her eviction, a man who identified himself as Augustine Akuna, who claimed to be a cousin to her supposed husband, released photos of Gifty's wedding.

Gifty, who was evicted from the reality show on Day 28, in a series of interviews, denied ever being married, stressing that the rumour would only make her more famous.

But now, the 23-year-old actress, in an interview with Hiptv, said the period she was married was a dark period in her life that she would not want to go back to.

She said, "I will say it here and now that the marriage issue was kind of real; I was once married, it was a dark part of my life that I don't want to ever go back to.

"My advice to every young girl out there; before you go into a marriage, you have to be physically, mentally, emotionally and physiologically matured because I was naive," she said.

Akuna had accused the former housemate of deceiving her fans by claiming that she was not married.

He further alleged that the couple had irreconcilable differences over Gifty's "cheating lifestyle while still in her husband's house."

Gifty, who had a controversial time in the house with her string of kisses, multinational accent and comments about not knowing Nigerian celebrities, Falz and Banky W, left the house empty handed.

She was the fourth to be evicted from the show after Soma, Miyose and Coco Ice. (NAN)

Eating Yogurt May Help You Curb Symptoms of Depression Naturally.

Eating Yogurt May Help You Curb Symptoms of Depression Naturally
The increasing number of people falling prey to depression these days is not only alarming but also a cause of great medical and societal concern. The World Health Organization (WHO) considers depression as the fourth leading cause of disability worldwide, and expects it to become the second leading cause by 2020.

 Depression is a major mood disorder, which succumbs its victim into feeling empty from within. Many people often commit the blunder of ignoring the symptoms of depression as just a by-product of 'feeling low'. But if this low feeling starts hindering your daily activities like sleeping, working and eating, then it can be a cause of major concern. One must head for treatment at the soonest in such cases.

However, there is a lot you can do to battle depression on a personal level too. Like talking to friends and family to vent your anxieties or indulging in recreational activities to keep your spirits up. A recent study suggests having yogurt can also help ease the symptoms of depression

The Study Conducted by the Team

In the study, conducted on mice, the researchers have discovered a specific mechanism for how the lactobacillus bacteria affect mood, providing a direct link between the health of the gut microbiome and mental health.

For the study, published in the journal Scientific Reports, the team induced depression symptoms in mice to analyse their composition of the gut microbiome and found that the major change was the loss of lactobacillus. With the loss of lactobacillus came the onset of depression symptoms. Conversely, feeding the mice lactobacillus with their food returned them to almost normal, the researchers said.

"A single strain of lactobacillus, is able to influence mood," Gaultier observed.
In addition, the study found that the amount of lactobacillus in the gut affects the level of a metabolite in the blood -- called kynurenine -- which has been shown to drive depression. When lactobacillus was diminished in the gut, the levels of kynurenine went up -- and depression symptoms set in.

While there is no harm in people with depression eating yogurt, people receiving treatment for depression should not stop taking their medications without consulting their physicians, the researchers suggested. Based on the findings, the researchers plan to begin studying the effect in humans as soon as possible.

SEASON 7 IS COMING! 'GAME OF THRONES' UNVEILS 16 JULY RETURN

Picture: Supplied.
The premiere date of HBO's medieval fantasy series Game of Thrones was announced with fiery fanfare on Thursday, as a block of ice was melted live online to reveal the 16 July start of the new season.

More than 100,000 people watched the hour-long Facebook Live stream of a block of ice being melted slowly by blasts of fire. It was interrupted by a few technical difficulties when the stream cut to black.

The highly anticipated seventh season of Game of Thrones, taglined 'The Great War is Here', has been moved to summer from its usual spring air date this year as filming of the show was delayed to capture scenes of winter for the show's fictional realm of Westeros.

Emmy-winning Game of Thrones, based on George RR Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire books, follows the epic fantasy of a multi-generational struggle for control of the Iron Throne seat of the Seven Kingdoms.

A teaser trailer released by HBO on Thursday shows the crests of the warring families crumbling to ash, with voices of key characters heard speaking phrases from past seasons in a timeline of events that have led to the battle.

At the very end, the voice of resurrected Night Watch leader Jon Snow says, "The same thing coming for all of us. There's only one war that matters. The great war. And it is here."

Game of Thrones is the most-watched show on Time Warner Inc's premium cable network HBO, averaging around 25 million viewers for its sixth season. The saga will conclude with its eighth season next year.
