Found this interesting article on Fox News. Please read and tell us what you think
Is it a "Kardashian kurse" or is Kanye West losing his cool all on his own? In any case, popularity problems seem to be plaguing the once untouchable rap sensation.
West’s performance this week brought just 4,500 people to the Sprint Center, a venue built for 19,000, meaning less than 24 percent of seats were occupied. He has had to cancel several other shows throughout his nationwide tour and drew criticism when he stopped a Florida concert after only three songs and demanded the lights be turned off before launching a profanity-laced rant at the tech staff and storming off the stage.
So is West’s egotistical, bizarre behavior finally taking its toll on fans?
“We are often drawn to people who have an ego and confidence that is derived from their talent. But an empty ego, based on a fake self-inflated image and concept, creates an over powering sense of desperation and superficiality,” human behavior expert Patrick Wanis told FOX411.
West has made headlines frequently lately, more due to his outlandish remarks than his trailblazing talent. We’ve heard the rapper compare himself to everyone from Jesus, Michael Jordan and Steve Jobs to Nelson Mandela, Michelangelo and Michael Jackson – and amid all that talk, he has also managed to offend much of the Jewish population.
The Anti-Defamation League is accusing West of anti-Semitism over comments he made to a Chicago radio station last month, urging him to take responsibility for saying that Obama can't execute moves because "he ain’t got those connections. Black people don’t have the same level of connections as Jewish people.”
Adding insult to injury, a new study released in November suggests that West’s connection to the Kardashian family may also be the reason for his popularity decline. Q Scores, a website marketers use to measure recognition, reported that West’s popularity has dipped a whopping 66 percent since he first started dating his reality star fiancée in April 2011, and that he now ranks far below the average hip hop artist and male celebrity.
"When putting two egotistical, self serving individuals together, you'll create a rather vile spark. And in times of economic hardship across the country, bragging about materialism is typically frowned upon,” says California-based public relations expert Angie Meyer-Olszewski. “The Kardashian brand is a sinking ship. Anybody who jumps on board will eventually fall. A successful celebrity in his own right, Kanye made a horrible strategic decision by engaging himself with Kim."
And while West’s highly-anticipated album “Yeezus” initially shot to No. 1 on the billboard charts, it fell an embarrassing 80 percent the following week, the largest second-week performance drop for a No. 1-debuting album in more than a year.
Then there was the release of that scandalous music video for “Bound 2,” co-starring his topless fiancée and baby mama, which become an instant laughing stock across the web and was slammed with a viral video spoof courtesy of comedians Seth Rogen and James Franco.
Things are not exactly coming up roses in the Kardashian empire either, with recent reports indicating that the show has been on a steady decline over the last four seasons and has lost almost one million viewers per episode since season five.
But according to some communications experts, West can get back on top if he plays his cards right.
“He can definitely win back favor with fans, as soon as the attention moves back to his music since he is such a talented artist,” says Elissa Buchter, founder of Schmooze PR. “The amount of ego you're allowed to get away with in Hollywood is directly proportional to success of your projects. As long as his songs are on top of the charts, his romantic life isn't going to crush his credibility as a superstar.”
A rep for West did not respond to a request for comment.

The rapper and businessman showed off his massive new chain on his instagram page a few days ago. It's a 172 carats diamonds chain that weighs about 2 kilos. 50cent posted the pics which he captioned; "I'm so chunky right now. Try 2 kilo's 172 carrots natural Diamonds.
50cent is not rich, he's wealthy. A chain like this will probably build a mansion in Lagos...:-).

Nigerian couple, 22 year old Aderoju Bammeke, (pictured left) and his girlfriend 20 year old Jessica Ogunyemi, (pictured right) have been jailed in the UK for being part of a Nigerian gang that hacked into the accounts of several people and stole thousands of pounds from them, Daily Mail UK reports
"The couple were part of a global internet banking scam which could have netted a phenomenal £19million after hacking the accounts of nearly 2,500 people. Aderoju and Jessica were the UK 'platform' for a Nigerian 'phishing' scam that made £41,000 in just two months.
The plot, masterminded by a gang in Nigeria, involved sending fake emails to customers of banks including Barclays and Halifax. The emails told recipients that their accounts had been hacked and asked them to complete a form with their log-in details. But when victims obliged, Bammeke stepped in and helped the gang log in to steal money.
Fashion marketing student Ogunyemi, his girlfriend at the time, helped him launder the proceeds by putting funds in accounts, hiding cash and allowing him to buy her a £2,400 Vauxhall Corsa.
Bammeke has now been jailed for three-and-a-half years at Manchester Crown Court after admitting conspiracy to commit fraud and unauthorised computer use.
Ogunyemi admitted five counts of money laundering and was given a suspended prison sentence.
Michael Lavery, defending Ogunyemi, said she had brought shame on her family, including her train driver father and mother who works for Manchester council.
He said she had been 'naive', was predicted to get a first in her degree and was no longer in a relationship with Bammeke.
Bammeke had pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing to conspiracy to commit fraud and unauthorised computer use while Ogunyemi admitted five counts of money laundering.
Sentencing Bammeke, Judge Recorder Gibson said: 'This in my opinion was a sophisticated fraud, a clever fraud and a fraud which could very easily have resulted in very much more substantial money being stolen.'
He jailed Ogunyemi for a year, suspended for two years, and ordered her to complete 180 hours' unpaid work.
After the hearing, Detective Superintendent Janet Hudson of TITAN, the North-West Regional Crime Unit, said: 'The actions of Bammeke and Ogunyemi caused a great deal of stress and uncertainty to many affected bank customers who had their accounts accessed.
'As a result of the investigation, no customers were left out of pocket and the offenders were arrested and ultimately sentenced. Internet banking is considered a safe and secure method of banking.
'However, bank customers need to remain vigilant and aware of the danger posed by fraudsters. Customers should only ever navigate directly to an online bank website and should never click on any link sent to them through an email.
'Additionally when accessing bank accounts online customers should always be aware of the exact address in order to ensure that they are actually on a legitimate banking website.'

Nokia has won a patent infringing battle against HTC, leading to the ban of sales of the HTC One Mini in the UK.
The UK High Court found in October that HTC had infringed Nokia’s European patent number 0998024, described as a ‘modular structure for a transmitter and a mobile station’. As a result, Judge Richard Arnold ruled today that HTC can no longer sell its One Mini smartphone in the UK.
HTC had tried to argue that the microchips found to infringe Nokia’s patent were “a very small component” and therefore did not justify a sales ban. It also claimed that HTC does not compete with Nokia in the UK, because its smartphones run Google’s Android operating system while Nokia’s running Microsoft’s Windows Phone OS.
However, Nokia dismissed these arguments, claiming that it has “lost sales of Lumia phones since the launch of the One range.” HTC sold about 715,000 smartphones worth about £221 million in the UK between January and September, according to court documents.

Screenshots (a.k.a. screen captures or screengrabs) are images of your screen that come in really useful when you need to show tech support what's going on with your phone or just to share your setup (e.g., at a homescreen-sharing site like My Color Screen. For Android phones and tablets, there are a few ways you can get that screengrab--from built-in methods to special apps on Google Play.
Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich): Hit the Power and Volume Down Button Simultaneously
Google introduced a screenshot-taking feature (which Apple's iOS already had) finally with Ice Cream Sandwich, Android 4.0. If you have Android 4.0 or later, you can take a screenshot of your device by pressing the power button and the volume down button at the same time. It might take a little bit of trial-and-error to master that simultaneous pressing. (I find that holding the buttons down for at least more than a second together avoids the annoying situation when your phone simply turns off the screen or lowers the volume.) You'll find the screenshots in your Gallery under a Screenshots folder.
Use Your Phone's Built-in Shortcuts
Some phones come with screengrabbing utilties built-in. Many Samsung devices, such as the Galaxy SII and Galaxy Note, for example, let you press the power and home button together to take a screenshot and place it in your Gallery. To find out if your phone has a screenshot tool, either check the manual or do a simple Google search for "[name of phone] take a screenshot]".
There might also be a device-specific app you can download to take screenshots and also do more with those images of your screen. For example, Screen Capture Shortcut Free works with some Samsung devices and lets you take captures after a delay or when you shake your phone. For other devices. search the Google Play Store for the name of your device and "screenshot," "screengrab," or "screen capture."
Install an App for Screenshots
If you don't have ICS or your phone doesn't have a built-in screenshot feature, you can try an Android app that does or doesn't require rooting your Android device. (Rooting gives you more control over it, so you can do things like tether your phone to serve as a modem for your laptop (without the onerous fees) or give a third-party app permission to take a picture of your Android phone's screen.)
I just hope you find this help useful.

In Stuttgart, Germany, is taking place the judgement of a man who was hired to get his neighbour’s wife pregnant.
Apparently, Demetrius Soupolos,, 29, and his wife Traute (former beauty queen), wanted a child for a long time, but Demetrius was told by a doctor that he was sterile.
To overcome this problem, Soupolos, decided to hire his neighbour, Frank Maus, 34, to impregnate his wife. Since Maus was already married and the father of two children, the plan seemed promising.
Soupolos paid Maus $2.500 for the job and for three evenings a week for the next six months Maus tried desperately, a total of 72 different times, to get the job done and make Traute pregnant.
When his own wife started to complain he explained, “I don’t like this any more than you, I’m simply doing it for the money. Try and understand.”
When Traute failed to get pregnant after six months, however, Soupolos was not understanding and insisted that Maus have a medical examination, which he did.
The doctor who did the examination concluded that Maus was also sterile, shocking everyone except his wife who was forced to confess that Maus was not the real father of their two children.
Now Soupolos is suing Maus for breach of contract in an effort to get his money back, but Maus refuses to give it up because he said he did not guarantee conception, but only that he would give it an honest effort (or 72).

Ice Prince Zamani is on a roll, has been for about two years now. After the success of his debut single ‘Oleku’, he churned out one hit single after the next and has to the surprise of many become one of the country’s biggest music exports. This is evident in his recent triumph at the BET music awards and his string of collaborations with international artistes.
He has just entered the second phase of his career with the release of his sophomore album, more hit singles and an album launch concert billed for sometime this month. Indeed everybody loves Ice Prince.
We asked him a couple of questions and he was gracious enough to provide answers.
Enjoy.
Your new disc has an interesting title, ’Fire of Zamani?’, what’s burning you up?
I met Wale at the BET awards 2012 for the first time and he was quite welcoming. When we met again at the 2013 BET Awards, the conversation started from there. With French, I met him in Baltimore. He came to do a show and I was there for a show too, mutual friends introduced us and we got in the studio the next day.
Were there artistes you wanted to work with that did not make the final cut of the album?
It means growth is inevitable and anything is possible as long as you put your mind to it.

There are two ways high cholesterol can appear. If your blood has high LDL or low HDL cholesterol then you can be diagnosed with high cholesterol. The easy way to remember this is to think of "H" in HDL as homerun and the "L" in LDL as Losing. In short HDL is the good cholesterol and LDL is the bad.
Low density lipoproteins or LDL is the substance which builds up on the sides of your arteries. The result is the blood flow is slowed, because the LDL narrows the size of your artery.
High density lipoproteins or HDL is what gets rid of the bad cholesterol. In short high levels of HDL will help regulate the bad cholesterol in your blood.
VLDL (very low density lipoproteins) and Triglycerides are two other types of cholesterol. VLDL is composed of mostly fat and some protein. It is very similar to LDL. Triglycerides come from excess calories, alcohol and sugar which are converted in the liver and stored as fat cells all over the body. VLDL carry Triglycerides throughout the blood stream.
While many may people may not be able to explain exactly what is high cholesterol, many can explain some of the health risks. Heart disease is a major risk of high cholesterol.
Heart disease is caused by plague building up in the arteries and this affects the flow of blood in the arteries. Hardening of the arteries is the next stage that results from this buildup. The technical name for this condition is atherosclerosis. At this point heart disease is apparent and if the blood supply to any portion of your heart is shut down, the result is heart attack.
Chest pain called angina is another health risk. This results when not enough oxygen-carrying blood reaches the heart, because the amount of plague in the artery.
These risks usually happen suddenly due to the blockage happening after a blood clot forms on top of narrowing in an artery. Keeping the LDL low and the HDL high aids in limiting the plague in the arteries.
So how do people get high cholesterol? There are a number of ways to get high cholesterol. Eating unhealthy and family genes are two common ways people get high cholesterol. Age and gender are also factors that affect who gets high cholesterol. As we get older, cholesterol levels rise. Women tend to have lower cholesterol levels before menopause, but this tends to change after women reach 50. At this point women levels usually surpass men and it usually continues to increase until age 60-65.
A low-cholesterol diet can help improve cholesterol levels. Adding certain foods to your diet may be helpful. If the low-cholesterol diet does not work to lower bad cholesterol and increase good cholesterol, your doctor may prescribe medications. There are some over the counter options to aid is lowering cholesterol. One product is Red Yeast Rye.
Controlling cholesterol levels should not only be thought about when there is a problem, but before you have any warning signs. If you closely manage your diet and the amount of cholesterol that you eat on a daily basis, you can put yourself onto a road that leads to a healthier cholesterol level throughout your life.

The world is evolving into a state of: "if they are not me, kill them all and let them die" That is why we have to face reality, anything can happen at anytime the world is becoming more and more devastating everyday that anybody can be in the situation at anytime. A world of brutality and wickedness.
Okay, imagine you have been shot(God forbid), congratulations you survived
and there is no help around, or not even sure if any is coming soonest. Chances of surviving a bullet wound depends on various factors.
The dept at of the wound created by the bullet.
If the bullet has came in contact with major blood vessels, Organs, and bones.
The distance from the hospital
The type of bullet
The survival hints below is bent on keeping you alive until help comes and encompasses all of this factors.
TAKE COVER:
The first thing to do is to avoid another taking another shot by pulling yourself up unto a safe place.
MAKE NECESSARY ATTEMPTS TO PLACE A CALL FOR AN AMBULANCE OR CAL FOR HELP IF POSSIBLE.
MAKE SURE YOUR AIRWAYS ARE GOING THROUGH AND KEEO ON BREATHING.
FIGHT BLEEDING:
Wounds opens up a groove or vent for the confined blood inside your blood vessels to make their way out and a bullet wound is not an exception. Maybe the blood are always happy to be free from running around your body that's why you see them rushing out happily through your wounds. Everything likes freedom anyway.
Stopping a bleeding bullet wound could be very hectic depending on the dept of the bullet inside the body. And also if the bullet has sojourned through any main artery, organ or even the bones. An internal bleeding is more dangerous than a external bleeding. But in every bullet wound your goal will be to contrict the affected blood vessels around the wound, and this you can do through applying either pressure or a method called cautirizing(heating up a metal heavilly and placing it on the wound) oh my God this can be so painful you know? But in critical situations like this, pain is not a factor to be added up amoung the problems at hand. To apply pressure, use a pad over the wound and apply pressure directly to the wound. If you have nothing available, even your hand or fingers can be used to control bleeding. You can still employ other methods of stopping bleeding which you feel can help in the situation.
CALM YOURSELF DOWN:
You have to be calm and also stable physically, mentally spiritually and any other ally available. Moving the affected part will push the surrounding arteries to deploy more blood to the wounded part, causing more bleeding. And also, panic will increase your heartbeat, more blood will be pumped and with the open wound serving as a channel for the pumped blood to be deposited. Then spiritually in the sense that, your soul need to fight the fear of living the body, and this you can achieve by praying to your creator.
DRINK A LOT OF WATER:
Water will help replenish your intravascular fluid lost during bleeding.
PREVENT INFECTION:
When the bullet was plunging into your body, it cannot in there alone, it goes in with some particles of your hair, skin and also your clothe. All this particles, especially the skin will start decomposition immediatly because it is dead. And thereby setting up a breeding ground for bacterias which will end up causing an infection if not attended to. To prevent infection you have to keep the wound clean by cleaning it with water and a clean cloth. Continue doing that until the ambulance arrives to take you to the hospital for proper treatment and a removal of the bullet.
This article will need your opinions, suggestions and what you think about gun shot wounds and its survival in the absense of help.
Use the comment box below to talk to us. Have you encountered any experience related to this this? how did you survive? how was it like? how did it happen.
I will also like to learn, because I always like learning. I have not even touched a gun through out my life time, neither have I received a bullet shot before.
I HUMBLY THANK JAY HENRY FOR THESE, HOPE YOU ALL LIKE THESE

United States. In view of its widespread abuse, it is
important to know how marijuana affects your
health
. This article discusses short and long-term
effects of marijuana abuse.
Short-term effects
The short-term effects are as follows:
• Affects person's performance
Studies show that use of marijuana affects the
performance of the person. It affects severely the
educational performance of the person - gets lower
grades, fails to complete the graduation.
Likewise, if the person is working, the drug leads to
higher number of sickness related leaves,
unexplained absence, more accidents at workplace,
more workers' compensation claims, etc., and
drastically.
• Perception, memory, intellect and psycho-motor
co-ordination impairment
Use of marijuana impairs the correct perception of
things. This is because THC (Delta-9-
tetrahydrocannabinol) in it affects part of the brain
that is responsible for focus, attention, memory, the
ability in senses, and perception of time. The effect
is excess stimulation of the brain, which leads
impairment of perception. The person feels as if
there were things, even if they are not there. Thus,
the person feels hallucinated.
The THC also affects the normal functioning of the
brain and this causes anxiety, nervousness, etc. in
the abuser. Further, it leads to loss of co-
ordination between the brain and the limbs. Thus,
the person is unable to react timely in certain
situations such as while driving a vehicle.
• Low motivation
Marijuana leads to depression in the person and
they do not like to participate in activities that
could bring rewards. The person has unreasonable
fear, and has low motivation to pursue the normal
course of activities.
Long-term effects
Use of this drug causes certain effects in the long
run. We discuss them here briefly.
• Addiction
Marijuana if consumed regularly, the person
becomes addicted to it. Research shows that nine
per cent of users get addicted to the drug. This
number is higher in young starters (17 percent)
and 20 to 25 percent in daily users. There are
close to 4.5 million people addicted to the drug in
the United States. (Source: National Institute on
Drug Abuse, USA).
The addictive effect of this drug is because of the
THC component in it, which makes the brain less
receptive to the drug with each passing day. As a
result, the person has to use more of it to get
similar effect, and therefore gets addicted to the
drug in the long run.
• Reduced immunity
Studies show that marijuana affects the immunity
in the body because the system becomes less
sensitive to external agents, even to harmful
microbes. Marijuana may affect the T-cells in the
immune system of the lungs.
• Risk of bronchitis
Prolonged use of marijuana may cause respiratory
issues and increase the risk of bronchitis. The
chemicals produced, as a result of combustion
while smoking, get deposited in the lungs and this
leads to bronchitis condition.
Marijuana is one of the most harmful substances
that causes addiction and affects the most
productive and formative periods of people. It is,
therefore, sensible to stay away from this drug.
DrugTestStrips is an online store offering reliable
and FDA approved drug test kits at affordable
prices. Marijuana drug testing kit from
drugteststrips.com is a simple to administer dip-
and-read test designed to detect marijuana use in
urine.

Good nourishment during pregnancy can aid to keep you and your developing baby healthy and balanced. The necessity for certain nutrients, such as iron and foliate, is raised at this time yet just a small amount of added power (kilojoules) is needed.
If you are pregnant, an excellent technique is to eat to satisfy your hunger and remain to oversee your weight. A normal weight gain over the course of a pregnancy is around 10- 13kg for females that were a healthy and balanced weight prior to conception.
An assorted diet plan typically provides our bodies with enough of each vitamin and mineral daily. However, expectant women might need supplements of particular supplements or minerals. Be recommended by your medical professional prior to taking supplements.
Healthy and balanced foods for pregnant women
It is important to select a large range of foods to guarantee the healthy necessities of both mom and child are satisfied.
Try to consume:
Great deals of fruit and vegetables, wholegrain breads and cereals.
Modest quantities of low-fat dairy products meals and lean meats.
Small amounts of meals tall in fat, glucose and salt.
Lean meat, poultry and fish (make certain it is low in mercury).
Dried grains and lentils.
Nuts and seeds.
Green leafy vegetables.
Folic acid (foliate) and pregnancy.
Foliate (referred to as folic acid when contributed to meals) is a B-group vitamin found in a selection of foods. Foliate demands rise substantially in pregnancy so females ought to intend to eat at least 600mcg (micrograms) of foliate from their normal daily diet.
As well as a healthy diet plan, it is recommended that females intending a pregnancy take an extra 400mcg of folic acid every day for a month previously and 3 months after fertilization. This could be taken as a supplement or through fortified foods, (food to which foliate has actually been added throughout production). Foliate taken over this duration can stop up until seven from 10 cases of neural tube flaws.
All wheat flour used in bread making in Australia should now have folic acid (with the exemption of flour utilized in 'natural' bread). Three pieces of fortified bread (100g) has an average of 120mcg of folic acid.
Morning meal cereals and fruit juices have folic acid added.
Foliate in your meal.
The following are superb food sources of foliate:
Asparagus.
Bran scales.
Broccoli.
Capital grows.
Chickpeas.
Dried grains.
Lentils.
Spinach.
Very good meals sources of foliate feature:.
Cabbage.
Cauliflower.
Leeks.
Oranges.
