Nairaland / General / See Pictures Of The Woman Tagged 'snake Woman Of Africa' by orimogunje53: 2:03pm On May 15, 2018 |
Seeing is believing! It may seem like a make- believe story if you are being told there is a someone who is able to twist her body into different shapes and forms. While it is understandable that some people's bodies have changed and become flexible because of the series of exercises they do, we also have to understand that some people are naturally flexible. There is an extent to which a full grown man can twist his body irrespec2ative of his flexibility. Anything that passes that level is thought to be scary as people worry about the person breaking a bone or twisting the organs of the body. Some people simply cannot watch when they see flexible people pull off their stunts; they feel those extremely flexible people are no longer human since their bodies can be likened to a rubber that stretches and go back to its form. But when it comes the lady that is referred to as the snake woman of Africa, you will be totally amazed. This lady has defied the odds when it comes to flexibility; she has won the hearts of many people within and outside the African continent. She is gifted and unique in her own way; she is able to throw her body into awkward shapes and positions with little or no efforts. The clothes she wears are snake-like making her look more slithery when she changes position. This is simply flexibility at its peak; this African woman got her title as a result of the unique talent she has. Find below some of the pictures of the woman called the snake woman of Africa: 1. Meet Nokulunga Buthelezi [img]http://i.onthe.io/vllkyt6stf03ptmuq.c76f2813.jpg[/img] The snake woman is a South African who is known as Lunga because of her ability to contort her body. You may never see this as big deal until you get into that position. She can bend her body in ways that will make you feel like she does not have bones at all. [img]http://www.i.onthe.io/vllkyt3rvtsthnpccg.fc3ce7a8.jpg[/img] For her to able to smile in this position, then you have to know she is not in any form of pain. She considers it normal for her to be able to move her body as she wants. 3.

A man gift make a room for him... . Many Nigerians are oblivious to the story of the woman whose picture adorns the back of 20 naira note they spend on a daily. At the back of the 20 naira note is Ladi Kwali’s picture, a celebrated potter who hailed from the northern part of Nigeria. Ladi Kwali was born in the village of Kwali, which is located in the Gwari region of present day Abuja, where pottery was indigenous female tradition. Kwali who grew up in a family in which womenfolk made pots for a living, learnt to make pottery as a child from her aunt. Kwali's younger brother, Mallam Mekaniki Kyebese, said: “Even in the early years of pottery making, Ladi Kwali excelled in the crafts and her wares were often sold even before they were taken to the markets” She produced pottery pieces that were influenced by the Gbagyi tradition during her first professional years. With the help of a famous English studio potter, Michael Cardew, Kwali came to international prominence for her talents in the 1950s. Cardew, who was appointed to the post of pottery officer in the department of commerce and industry in 1951, launched the Abuja Pottery Training Centre along with Kwali in 1952 and spent the following fifteen years teaching and learning from Nigerian potters. Ladi Kwali is featured on back of the 20 naira note. Ladi Kwali at work The audience watched as Ladi Kwali demonstrated at Winchcombe Pottery, England, in 1962.

(Photo credit: Ceramike) Kwali would later join the Abuja pottery and become its first female potter. She later became an instructor Ladi’s pots were noted for their beauty of form and decoration. The Emir of Abuja, Alhaji Suleiman Barau acquired several pots made by Ladi. In the palace of the Emir was where Michael Cardew saw Ladi’s work in 1950. Ladi Kwali would later become prominent after this discovery by Cardew Her pots became art objects and were also featured in international exhibitions of Abuja pottery organised by Cardew in 1958, 1959 and 1962. Her pottery was also displayed during Nigeria’s independence celebrations in 1960. Kwali and Cardew toured America in 1972, and at the Berkeley Galleries in London, her works was shown to great acclaim. Her works - glazed dishes, bowls and beakers, which she created with stylised animal sgraffito, were the works for which she was best known. These works were a great asset in the popularity of Abuja pottery beyond the shores of Africa. The first Nigerian woman to be on a naira note, Ladi Kwali Below is the list of her awards and achievements: - Kwali had been honoured in many ways. In 1962, she was awarded an MBE (Member of the Order of the British Empire). In 1977, Ahmadu Bello University in Zaria awarded her an honorary doctoral degree. - The Nigerian government awarded her with highest national honour for academic achievement, Nigerian National Order of Merit Award. -In 1981, she also received the national honour of the Officer of the Order of the Niger (OON) . - A major street in Abuja is named after her. The street is called Ladi Kwali road. - The Abuja Pottery was renamed the Ladi Kwali Pottery in the early 1980s. - Her picture adorned the back of the Nigerian 20 naira note, making her the first Nigerian woman to be on a naira note. - After Cardew died the previous year, Kwali died on August 12, 1984 at the age of 59 in Minna. ◄ Proverbs 22:29 King James Version Seest thou a man diligent in his business/work ? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men Who can ever imagine that the clay we all use to play during our childhood days is another man source of fame.

Religion / Why Is Christmas Day Is Celebrated On The 25th Of December? by orimogunje53: 5:36am On Dec 25, 2017 |
Why Is Christmas Day On The 25th December? INTRODUCTION Christmas is both a sacred religious holiday and a worldwide cultural and commercial phenomenon. For two millennia, people around the world have been observing it with traditions and practices that are both religious and secular in nature. Christians celebrate Christmas Day as the anniversary of the birth of Jesus of Nazareth, a spiritual leader whose teachings form the basis of their religion. Popular customs include exchanging gifts, decorating Christmas trees, attending church, sharing meals with family and friends and, of course, waiting for Santa Claus to arrive. December 25–Christmas Day–has been a federal holiday in the United States since 1870. Christmas is celebrated to remember the birth of of Jesus Christ , who Christians believe is the Son of God. ....................**................,,, The name 'Christmas' comes from the Mass of Christ (or Jesus). A Mass service (which is sometimes called Communion or Eucharist) is where Christians remember that Jesus died for us and then came back to life. The 'Christ-Mass' service was the only one that was allowed to take place after sunset (and before sunrise the next day), so people had it at Midnight! So we get the name Christ-Mass, shortened to Christmas. ...........**.............. . ...... Christmas is now celebrated by people around the world , whether they are Christians or not. It's a time when family and friends come together and remember the good things they have. People, and especially children, also like Christmas as it's a time when you give and receive presents! ................**............,,,,,,.., The Date of Christmas No one knows the real birthday of Jesus! No date is given in the Bible, so why do we celebrate it on the 25th December? The early Christians certainly had many arguments as to when it should be celebrated! Also, the birth of Jesus probably didn't happen in the year 1 but slightly earlier, somewhere between 2 BCE/BC and 7 BCE/BC, possibly in 4 BCE/BC (there isn't a 0 - the years go from 1 BC/BCE to 1!). The first recorded date of Christmas being celebrated on December 25th was in 336, during the time of the Roman Emperor Constantine (he was the first Christian Roman Emperor). A few years later, Pope Julius I officially declared that the birth of Jesus would be celebrated on the 25th December. ................**............,,,,,,.., A very early Christian tradition said that the day when Mary was told that she would have a very special baby , Jesus (called the Annunciation) was on March 25th - and it's still celebrated today on the 25th March. Nine months after the 25th March is the 25th December! March 25th was also the day some early Christians thought the world had been made, and also the day that Jesus died on when he was an adult. The date of March 25th was chosen because people had calculated that was the day on which Jesus died as an adult (the 14th of Nisan in the Jewish calendar) and they thought that Jesus was born and had died on the same day of the year. Some people also think that December 25th might have also been chosen because the Winter Solstice and the ancient pagan Roman midwinter festivals called 'Saturnalia' and 'Dies Natalis Solis Invicti' took place in December around this date - so it was a time when people already celebrated things. ................**............,,,,,,.., The Winter Solstice is the day where there is the shortest time between the sun rising and the sun setting. It happens on December 21st or 22nd. To pagans this meant that the winter was over and spring was coming and they had a festival to celebrate it and worshipped the sun for winning over the darkness of winter. In Scandinavia, and some other parts of northern Europe, the Winter Solstice is known as Yule and is where we get Yule Logs from. In Eastern Europe the mid-winter festival is called Koleda. The Roman Festival of Saturnalia took place between December 17th and 23rd and honoured the Roman god Saturn. Dies Natalis Solis Invicti means 'birthday of the unconquered sun' and was held on December 25th (when the Romans thought the Winter Solstice took place) and was the 'birthday' of the Pagan Sun god Mithra. In the pagan religion of Mithraism, the holy day was Sunday and is where get that word from! The Roman emperor Aurelian created 'Sol Invictus' in 274. But there are records of early Christians connecting 14th Nisan to 25th March and so the 25th December go back to around 200! The Jewish festival of Lights, Hanukkah starts on the 25th of Kislev (the month in the Jewish calendar that occurs at about the same time as December). Hanukkah celebrates when the Jewish people were able to re-dedicate and worship in their Temple, in Jerusalem, again following many years of not being allowed to practice their religion. Jesus was a Jew, so this could be another reason that helped the early Church choose December the 25th for the date of Christmas! Christmas had also been celebrated by the early Church on January 6th, when they also celebrated the Epiphany (which means the revelation that Jesus was God's son) and the Baptism of Jesus. Now Epiphany mainly celebrates the visit of the Wise Men to the baby Jesus , but back then it celebrated both things! Jesus's Baptism was originally seen as more important than his birth, as this was when he started his ministry. But soon people wanted a separate day to celebrate his birth. Most of the world uses the 'Gregorian Calendar' implemented by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582. Before that the 'Roman' or Julian Calendar was used (named after Julius Caesar). The Gregorian calendar is more accurate that the Roman calendar which had too many days in a year! When the switch was made 10 days were lost, so that the day that followed the 4th October 1582 was 15th October 1582. In the UK the change of calendars was made in 1752. The day after 2nd September 1752 was 14th September 1752. Many Orthodox and Coptic Churches still use the Julian Calendar and so celebrate Christmas on the 7th January (which is when December 25th would have been on the Julian calendar). And the Armenian Apostolic Church celebrates it on the 6th January! In some part of the UK, January 6th is still called 'Old Christmas' as this would have been the day that Christmas would have celebrated on, if the calendar hadn't been changed. Some people didn't want to use the new calendar as they thought it 'cheated' them out of 11 days! ................**............,,,,,,.., Christians believe that Jesus is the light of the world, so the early Christians thought that this was the right time to celebrate the birth of Jesus. They also took over some of the customs from the Winter Solstice and gave them Christian meanings, like Holly , Mistletoe and even Christmas Carols ! St Augustine was the person who really started Christmas in the UK by introducing Christianity in the 6th century. He came from countries that used the Roman Calendar, so western countries celebrate Christmas on the 25th December. Then people from Britain and Western Europe took Christmas on the 25th December all over the world! If you'd like to know more about the history behind the dating of Christmas, then read this very good article on Bible History Daily (goes to another site). __So when was Jesus Born?__ There's a strong and practical reason why Jesus might not have been born in the winter, but in the spring or the autumn! It can get very cold in the winter and it's unlikely that the shepherds would have been keeping sheep out on the hills (as those hills can get quite a lot of snow sometimes!). During the spring (in March or April) there's a Jewish festival called 'Passover'. This festival remembers when the Jews had escaped from slavery in Egypt about 1500 years before Jesus was born. Lots of lambs would have been needed during the Passover Festival, to be sacrificed in the Temple in Jerusalem. Jews from all over the Roman Empire traveled to Jerusalem for the Passover Festival, so it would have been a good time for the Romans to take a census. Mary and Joseph went to Bethlehem for the census (Bethlehem is about six miles from Jerusalem). In the autumn (in September or October) there's the Jewish festival of 'Sukkot' or 'The Feast of Tabernacles'. It's the festival that's mentioned the most times in the Bible! It is when Jewish people remember that they depended on God for all they had after they had escaped from Egypt and spent 40 years in the desert. It also celebrates the end of the harvest. During the festival, Jews live outside in temporary shelters (the word 'tabernacle' come from a latin word meaning 'booth' or 'hut'). Many people who have studied the Bible, think that Sukkot would be a likely time for the birth of Jesus as it might fit with the description of there being 'no room in the inn'. It also would have been a good time to take the Roman Census as many Jews went to Jerusalem for the festival and they would have brought their own tents/shelters with them! (It wouldn't have been practical for Joseph and Mary to carry their own shelter as Mary was pregnant.) .......... *.......... * The possibilities for the Star of Bethlehem seems to point either spring or autumn. The possible dating of Jesus birth can also be taken from when Zechariah (who was married to Mary's cousin Elizabeth) was on duty in the Jewish Temple as a Priest and had an amazing experience. There is an excellent article on the dating of Christmas based on the dates of Zechariah's experience, on the blog of theologian, Ian Paul. With those dates, you get Jesus being born in September - which also fits with Sukkot! The year that Jesus was born isn't known. The calendar system we have now was created in the 6th Century by a monk called Dionysius Exiguus. He was actually trying to create a better system for working out when Easter should be celebrated, based on a new calendar with the birth of Jesus being in the year 1. However, he made a mistake in his maths and so got the possible year of Jesus's birth wrong! .......... *.......... * Most scholars now think that Jesus was born between 2 BCE/BC and 7 BCE/BC, possibly in 4 BCE/BC. Before Dionysius's new calendars, years were normally dated from the reigns of Roman Emperors. The new calendar became more widely used from the 8th Century when the 'Venerable Bede of Northumbria' used it in his 'new' history book! There is no year '0'. Bede started dating things before the year 1 and used 1 BCE/BC as the first year before 1. At that time in Europe, the number 0 didn't exist in maths - it only arrived in Europe in the 11th to 13th centuries! .......... *.......... * So whenever you celebrate Christmas, remember that you're celebrating a real event that happened about 2000 years ago, that God sent his Son into the world as a Christmas present for everyone! As well as Christmas and the solstice, there are some other festivals that are held in late December. Hanukkah is celebrated by Jews; and the festival of Kwanzaa is celebrated by some Africans and African Americans takes place from December 26th to January 1st. |

Health / 10 Most Useless Part Of The Body Of Human by orimogunje53: 9:54pm On Aug 30, 2017 |
10 Useless Human Body Parts We should not always assume that every human development has an adaptive explanation. Because of the complexity of evolution, the human body still sustains a few reminisce of our ancient lives. Here are some useless human body parts that serve very little or no purpose in our survival. 10. Appendix When primitive humans were largely food gatherers vegetarians, the appendix helped in the digestion of food. Located in a pouch like structure between large and the small intestine, the appendix basically assisted the latter in digesting cellulose and possibly also produced white blood cells. Though lying dormant, the appendix can causes a host of problems like it can get infected causing appendicitis – an inflammation of the appendix. It causes abdominal pain, decreased appetite, nausea etc but most of the time people don’t have the symptoms. 9. Coccyx Otherwise called the tailbone, it’s believed to the remnant of our pre-historic ancestor’s body part. Also found in Apes, the Coccyx is the final hanging segment of our vertebral column. It is comprised of three to five rudimentary vertebrae. So why exactly did we need a tail in ancient time? Scientist believe that the tail helped in communicating and balancing our structure but since we humans learned to walk upright, the tail slowly ceased to exist leaving only a speck of reminder hanging useless. But despite the removal of the tailbone is quiet a task since it’s attached to a number of intricate ligaments, muscles and tendons. 8. Paranasal Sinuses Human sinuses are basically air-filled spaces found surrounding the nasal cavity in our face. What is the purpose of their existence now is subjected to much debate but when infected our sinuses causes much pain. Previously the paranasal sinuses were responsible for our heightened sense of smell that allowed our ancestors to hunt on daily basis and survive. However some believe paranasal sinuses serves a few possible functions like increase resonance of our voice, regulate pressure, lighten the weight in the front of our skull etc. Inflammation of the sinuses causes nasal irrigation and can even lead to cancer. 7. Tonsils Other than the mass of tissue situated at either side at the back of the human throat, there are a number of other tonsils like the adenoid tonsil, two palatine tonsils, the lingual tonsil and two tubal tonsils. Tonsils help in protecting the throat from inhaling foreign pathogens and against indigestion but most of the time they prove to be more dangerous than beneficial. Tonsils are very much prone to infections that may lead to a host of problems and may require surgical removal sometimes. 6. Arrector Pili Muscles The arrector pili muscle causes the phenomenon we commonly refer to as goose bumps. There are small muscles attached to our hair follicles which when contracts causes the hair to stand up. In most animals the goose bumps are a defence mechanism. When in fear the hair ends rise up to make them look bigger in hopes of deterring predators. The arrector pili muscles cannot be consciously controlled. Some experts have come up with one purpose for the contraction of the muscles and their legitimacy of staying in our body is that the ejected hair helps trap and retain hot air inside our body. But since human body has relatively very less hair to allow thermal insulation, the argument kind of falls flat. 5. Wisdom Tooth Also called the third molar it’s developed between the ages of 17 and 25. According to researchers, the out-of-place wisdom tooth was useful to our ancestors for grinding down on plant tissues. But today our skulls have become smaller and the number of teeth has gone down because they are no longer required. The change of the diet still couldn’t get rid of the third molar or wisdom teeth completely. It’s a painful procedure to remove an infected wisdom tooth. 4. Palmaris Longus Muscles A completely useless muscle that stretches between the flexor carpi ulnaris and the flexor carpi radialis. About 14% of the world population has no Palmaris Longus muscles but that doesn’t affect their grip strength. This long, narrow muscle was once useful when our ancestors had to climb with hands. One can feel the muscles while flexing the wrist and touching the pads of the thumb and the fifth finger. It can be felt palpitating, which is why sometimes medical students mistake it for a nerve. 3. Plica Semilunaris of Conjunctiv [img]http://www.wonderslist.com/10-useless-human-body-parts/plica-semilunaris-of-conjunctiva/[/img] Plica semilunaris is also called the third eyelid, located in the corner of our eye next to our tear duct. It’s a small folded fragment seen prominently when we move our eyes. The Plica semilunaris is said to help the eye maintain tear drainage and also allows free rotation of our eyes. Without the Plica semilunaris our eye would limited movements because the eyeball will be attached directly to the conjunctiva. But even then its role is quiet restricted because of its tiny size. Moreover the existence of the Plica semilunaris is not absolutely necessary for our survival. 2. Subclavius Muscle The Subclavius Muscle is small triangular thick tendon that stretches between our first rib and our collarbone. Lying beneath our shoulders, the muscle helps carry our shoulders forward and downward, depress our shoulders. Subclavius Muscle was useful when primitive humans walked on all four but today it pretty much of no good use. The muscle is not found in everyone, some have only one, some two and some none at all. 1. Male Nipple develops in a foetus even before the gender is determined. It’s only on its 6th week that the male hormones such as testosterone start to take shape. At this point the male nipples stop to develop further but sometimes fat tissues accumulate around the nipple making them swell and become seemingly similar to female breasts. In pubescent boys, high levels of estrogen can also lead to swelling around the nipple making them looking larger. Though functionless, male nipples are pretty sensitive and can develop breast cancer. pls comment so as to serve as encouragement [img]https://www.z-p3-scontent-amt2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/cp0/e15/q65/s851x315/20953645_1177451605731789_7290673968912274891_n.jpg?efg=eyJpIjoiYiJ9&_nc_eui2=v1%3AAeEYfYf7KgI8sB6CeZHW6q_yMo-RxXTPsmMPXhxJyna5wo-vBWIFbIP8UHSLxfAkX8u2viTnlfLaRm0UFaRvdhYwHVtcUXolU8D4aJHgtr3IJA&oh=e8152c47513d81bdee5d783048294415&oe=5A1CA572[/img] |

We are constantly efforts to make a better and safer life for ourselves, but the world remains a dangerous place. As for wild animals, what determines their danger level might not necessarily be size. What we can formulate with our human brain power? We may think of some of these animals as friendly or harmless, but sometimes even friendly seeming species become dangerous. Here are the top 10 deadliest animals that could turn any human, smart or dumb, into a tasty lunch or dinner. Many more criteria are still out there. Feel free to add other deadly creatures to the comments Top 10 Deadliest Animals 10. Jellyfish Affectionately known as the “sea wasp”. The Jellyfish killing more then 100 per year provides a good example of why these graceful, free- floating marine creatures can also be some of the world’s deadliest living organisms. They are mostly found around the Australian coastline, and are most commonly seen in the summer months. Just like any animal, however, jellyfish take no prisoners when they feel threatened. Box jellyfish don’t even drift; they actively swim to hunt their prey, and a nice human leg or arm can suffer some serious collateral damage. 9. The Shark The shark’s most incredible, virtually X-Men ability is called electroreception. They have organs in their heads called Ampullae of Lorenzini. Every time any animal moves, it generates a very slight electrical field, and sharks can actually sense this electricity. Thus a person treading water looks like lightning to a shark. A great white can detect half a billionth of a single volt. If it is within 100 meters, it can detect the voltage of your heartbeat. Averaging 15 feet long, with rows of up to 300 sharp serrated teeth inside powerful 4-foot-wide jaws, the great white shark is comfortably at the top of the food chain. It eats a wide variety of species and isn’t too picky, but humans are not preferred, being leaner and bonier than its favorite prey—the fattier seals and sea lions. 8. Hippopotamus After the elephant and rhinoceros, the hippopotamus is the third largest type of land mammal and the heaviest extant artiodactyl. They are usually found in Africa and are responsible for more human fatalities on the continent than any other large animal. Male and female hippos tend to have different reasons for attacking. A male hippo will defend its territory, which runs along the bank of a river or lake, whereas the female becomes aggressive in defending her young. They killed more then 200 every year. 7. Lion A full-grown male lion is about 6 inches taller than a tiger and weighs anywhere from 330 to 550 lbs (150-250 kgs), averaging 400. Kings of the jungle and one of nature’s most brilliant predators, lions are fast, cunning and extremely powerful, they have a sixth sense for hunting and they aren’t very discriminating when it comes to a red-meat dinner. Lions are found on the plains of Africa, but are also held in captivity around the world in zoos and reserves. Lions simply see humans as slower, less-able free lunches, much like gazelles or a zebras. These caused over 250 deaths per year. 6. Cape Buffalo Also known as “black death” the Cape buffalo, found in Africa, being one of the most dangerous animals on land. Killing more then 500 per year, one of Africa’s most dangerous beasts. It is extremely aggressive and unpredictable. It can weigh between 900 to 1800 pounds, and except for some lone bulls, this bovine species is very gregarious. Herd members are quick to defend each other from lions, crocodiles, or hunters, by ramming the predator with their sharp horns. Sometimes a wounded bull will circle around to ambush its hunter from behind. 5. Elephant The elephant, the largest land mammal, lives in Africa and some parts of Asia. Normally viewed as friendly, caused over 600 deaths per year, can also be the most dangerous to human health. These lovable, circus-friendly icons can be found in Africa and South Asia, and in a lot of cases, can be found in urban areas where people use their services for tourism, trade and transportation. But, just like a frustrated employee, these hard-working, usually docile creatures never forget poor treatment or being threatened, and that’s why they lash out. An elephant’s legs, trunk, and weight can crush just about anything, and one moment of anger can be lethal. 4. Crocodile Killing up to 2,000 of people a year, it takes is a good look at one of these prehistoric beasts to realize just how deadly they can be. Crocodiles can be found in the southern U.S., the Tropics, Africa, Asia, and Australia, and love the taste of human flesh just as much as that of any other unsuspecting animal it sees. The saltwater and Nile crocodiles are the most dangerous. It eats a wide variety of animals, living and dead. Its eyes, ears, and nostrils are located high on the head, which allows a crocodile to see and hear its prey. It ranges from 5 to 20 feet long. 3. Scorpion Caused up to 5,000 deaths per year, Scorpions are predatory arthropod animals of the order Scorpiones within the class Arachnida. Found widely distributed over all continents, except Antarctica, in a variety of terrestrial habitats except the high latitude tundra, these eight- legged arthropods can pack a powerful punch. They are a resilient, non-parasitic killer that actually have the ability to distribute doses of venom based on the type of prey. Buthids, in particular, are the most deadly scorpions and are generally found in Africa, though deadly scorpions have been known to survive and thrive in bone-chilling environments, such as the Andes and the Himalayas. 2. Snake Living snakes are found on almost every continent. Many species of snakes are dangerous to humans . More than 450 species are venomous, and 250 are capable of killing a person. Most venomous bites occur in Africa, Asia, and North America. These cold-blooded reptiles are also cold-blooded killers, and it always seems the further you get away from home, the deadlier they get. The toxicity of some snakes are incredibly severe. These things tend to kill humans for one simple reason: they feel provoked. Plain and simple: It’s their natural defense mechanism to lash out with razor-sharp teeth and sink venom into your skin. These caused 100,000-plus deaths per year. 1. Mosquitoes – Most Deadliest Animal Mosquitoes make number one on the list of deadliest animal in world. This small blood- sucking insect kills 2 million to 3 million people each year worldwide. They are a family of small, midge-like flies: the Culicidae. Although a few species are harmless or even useful to humanity, most are a nuisance because they consume blood from living vertebrates, including humans. The females of many species of mosquitoes are blood eating pests. It can spread diseases, most notably malaria. It can also spread elephantiasis, yellow fever, Dengue fever and West Nile virus . Mosquitoes are found in abundance in tropical areas and can also survive the winter in countries with lower temperatures such as Canada. There are over 3,000 types of mosquitoes and all have the ability to transfer population-killing diseases. pls comment so as to serve as encouragement [img]https://z-p3-scontent-amt2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/cp0/e15/q65/s851x315/20953645_1177451605731789_7290673968912274891_n.jpg?efg=eyJpIjoiYiJ9&_nc_eui2=v1%3AAeEYfYf7KgI8sB6CeZHW6q_yMo-RxXTPsmMPXhxJyna5wo-vBWIFbIP8UHSLxfAkX8u2viTnlfLaRm0UFaRvdhYwHVtcUXolU8D4aJHgtr3IJA&oh=e8152c47513d81bdee5d783048294415&oe=5A1CA572[/img] |

Health / World’s First Head Transplant Scheduled For December 2017 by orimogunje53: 6:04pm On Jul 14, 2017 |
A RUSSIAN man who has a debilitating illness is set to become the first person to undergo a head transplant next December. Valery Spiridonov, 30, suffers from Werdnig- Hoffmann disease, a rare form of spinal muscular atrophy. Italian neurosurgeon Sergio Canavero hopes to operate on Valery Spiridonov in December 2017 Italian surgeon Dr Sergio Canavero, who will carry out the £14 million experimental transplant, is likely to take 36-hours and will involve over 150 doctors and nurses. The controversial operation will involve cooling his head to around 12 degrees Celsius, cutting it from his body and connecting it to the donated body of a brain-dead person. After the surgery, Valery will be kept in a medically-induced coma for three to four weeks while doctors stimulate his spinal cord nerves to reconnect and start functioning. Valery said the doctor dubbed Dr Frankenstein, will reveal more details about the op next month. He told MailOnline: “If you want something to be done, you need to participate in it. I do understand the risks. There are many. “We can’t even imagine what exactly can go wrong. I’m afraid that I wouldn’t live long enough to see it happen to someone else.” Dr Sergio Canavero says human head transplant will happen by end of 2017 But surgeons believe the opinion-dividing procedure could cause Valery to go insane or die. “I would not wish this on anyone,” said Dr Hunt Batjer, president elect of the American Association for Neurological Surgeons. “I would not allow anyone to do it to me as there are a lot of things worse than death.” Arthur Caplan, director of medical ethics at New York University’s Langone Medical Centre described Dr Canavero as “nuts”. He believes that the bodies of head transplant patients “would end up being overwhelmed with different pathways and chemistry than they are used to and they’d go crazy”. The controversial operation will involve cooling his head to around 12 degrees Celsius, cutting it from his body and connecting it to the donated body of a brain-dead person ‘I do understand the risks. There are many’ But Dr Canavero hit back at the criticism saying Valery will not only live with his new body, but will be able to walk within a year of the operation. He told New Scientist last year: “I would say we have plenty of data to go on. “It’s important that people stop thinking this is impossible. This is absolutely possible and we’re working towards it.” The potentially ground-breaking treatment was performed on a monkey in 1970. The animal only lived for eight days after the body rejected the new head, leaving the monkey unable to breath and move. |
