when y’all are reading a book, do you also suddenly put the book down for a while after a jaw-dropping scene and stare at nothing for a few seconds like there’s a secret camera filming your reaction then start talking about what you just read to absolutely no one

An actor who played a character so perfectly that nobody else could ever top it. GIFS ONLY.

Sigh.. American shows keep getting impossible to watch... I mean, is all this nudity really necessary to get the story across?

🤣

I looked up… and I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. It was Aang. Yes, the last Airbender. On his Appa. Floating on air. He looked at us and asked if we had seen Firelord Ozai. We were frozen. We told him no. He was about to leave when we somehow found courage to beg him to drop us in Kano because we didn’t know how to get back anymore. He agreed. We climbed Appa, and in a few moments we were already in the sky. When we landed in Kano, I immediately called my mom and told her I was back and that I couldn’t survive that village anymore.

@malantrent 😂😂😂😂

I raise you Nupe people… More than a decade ago we went to Kwara State, to a small Nupe village there for a wedding. My grandma was living in that village… and from the moment we arrived, you could tell life there followed rules nobody really explained. You don’t announce when you’re coming, you don’t announce when you’re on the road, and you don’t even really announce when you’re leaving because something bad might happen to you. My grandma wasn’t warm to us in public at all, always frowning, always shouting at us whenever people were around. But in private, she showed love in her own quiet way. If she openly showed too much affection again, something bad would happen to us. So she constantly warned us, like even joy itself was something dangerous in that place. She used to say if you act too happy, something terrible might follow. One day, something happened that I still can’t fully explain if I wasn’t there…

In reality, a Christian's life is meant to TOTALLY glorify the Being he bears the title of. Christianity is not a part-time job. It is a life and reflects in your lifestyle. The first time people were called Christians in the Bible was at Antioch and it was because they behaved like Christ. Having stated the above, I firmly believe that a Christian musician should sing only Gospel music. Because who/what are you glorifying when you sing? Yourself? An abstract concept like love, war, beauty, heartbreak? GOD? Or Satan? If HE is LORD, then it is important to note Lord means ownership. Remember; "And whatsoever ye do in word or in deed, do all in the Name of the Lord Jesus." (Colossians 3:17) Furthermore if you fall in love, you can write about it with Christ's love for HIS Church as the central theme? Heartbreak? Craft your lines in the context of the heroes of faith who experienced heartbreak but GOD was a rock and succour in their storm. Societal ills? Script your verses about societal but with the hope and promise of a far better coming Kingdom of Christ. See, eh, what is practised as Christianity today is just some edited social Gospel that is a watered down version of the original. Christianity is not conformity but exclusivity and differentiation from the world. If I am to dive in further, I'd like to explore the idea of inspiration. Inspiration can come from anywhere but if your inspiration is from Above, it'll glorify the LORD whom you bear HIS title as well as the Source it comes from. I don't think HE'll inspire you to sing anything that'll not glorify HIM. No be chatgpt tell me this one o! Na from experience na im I dey talk this one.

Exactly

@samson_samsen But are we not all as human beings capable of the most vile of deeds?

The unforgiving person is the closest thing to a “good person,” even more so than the forgiving or empathetic person. A forgiving person is capable of forgiveness because he finds it easy to understand the behavior of those who offend him. This understanding is a function of possessing the capacity to act in a similar manner as those who offend him. He too is capable of hurting someone, and he knows it. However, a man who is incapable of forgiving people is equally repelled by offending them. He has a rigid but consistent ethical stance: he will not hurt, and he will not forgive when he is hurt. His lack of agency to be cruel to people mandates his lack of understanding for cruel character and thus makes him unforgiving of it. He will not forgive you for doing unto him what he cannot do to you. Right there is a good person.

@DonTheCreator_ Tough crowd

i genuinely want to know. i promise im not being funny. what’s her target audience?

when you deliberately didn't buy snacks to avoid snacking at night, but now it's night & there's no snacks

The research behind this is wild. A baby is born and doesn't breathe. The window to fix it is 60 seconds. Doctors call this window the Golden Minute. And the first rule on the protocol is don't rush, because rushing actively breaks the technique. Roughly 1 in every 10 babies needs help breathing right after they're born. The American Heart Association and American Academy of Pediatrics worked out the exact sequence years ago, and it's the playbook used in hospitals around the world. Step one is the simple part: dry the baby, keep them warm, tilt the head a little to open the airway, rub the back, flick the soles of the feet. About 10% of newborns just need that small nudge to start breathing on their own. If 60 seconds go by and the baby still isn't breathing, or the heart is going slower than 100 beats a minute, you grab a bag and mask. The bag is a rubber bulb. You squeeze it, and air pushes through the mask into the baby's lungs. You can see this in the second clip. Around 5% of all newborns need it. If it's working, the baby's heart speeds up. About 30 seconds later, you check again. If the heart is still under 60 beats a minute, you start chest compressions. Only about 1 to 3 babies out of every 1,000 ever reach that stage. The bag and mask has one weak point. It only works if the mask seals tight against the baby's face, with no gaps at the rim. If air escapes around the edges, none of it reaches the lungs. The whole effort is just for show. A 2014 study at Leiden University in the Netherlands had medical staff try the technique on a training dummy. Inexperienced people leaked 51% of the air on their first attempt. After two minutes of focused practice, that number dropped to 11%. The seal is the whole thing, and shaky hands wreck it. The calm in that video is what lets the hands stay steady. A steady hand keeps the seal tight, while a shaky one breaks it. Cochrane is the body that writes the most authoritative medical reviews in this field. Their review on this calls getting the air in cleanly the single most important step in saving a non-breathing baby. A panicking person with a bad seal might as well not be in the room. Training does the rest. The NIH cites a study from Zambia where they trained midwives and nurses in this exact protocol. Out of every 1,000 babies born, the number who died in their first week dropped from 11.5 to 6.8. About a 41% drop, just from people learning to follow the steps in the right order without freaking out. Around 900,000 babies a year die from not starting to breathe at birth, per the WHO. Most of those deaths come down to two things: no trained person on hand, or someone trained who rushed. The slow walk in the video is the technique. Slow hands and a steady mask save more babies than any other thing on the checklist.

The song didn’t need to go that hard 😂

The breast is not just feeding the baby. It is reading the baby. When a baby feeds at the breast, the same suckling action that draws milk out also pulls a small amount of the baby's saliva back into the nipple and into the milk ducts. Scientists call this "retrograde duct flow". This hypothesis was put forward by lactatiom biologists and they are gathering evidence through research - If the baby is sick, that backwashed saliva carries traces of the infecting pathogen into the mother's breast tissue. Her immune system detects it, identifies the threat, and begins manufacturing targeted antibodies. These then appear in the very next feed of milk delivered to the sick infant. Human studies have steadily supported this. Riskin et al. (2012), published in Pediatric Research, demonstrated that when nursing infants were ill, their mothers' milk showed a dramatic surge in white blood cells, particularly macrophages, along with raised levels of TNF-α, a key inflammatory signal. These levels fell back to normal once the baby recovered. Mothers of healthy babies showed no such changes. Hassiotou et al. (2013), in Clinical and Translational Immunology, confirmed that both maternal and infant infections trigger a rapid leukocyte response in breast milk. Then a landmark 2022 study in Nature provided the clearest mechanistic proof yet. It tracked a virus from an infected mouse pup's saliva, through the nipple, into the mother's milk ducts, and demonstrated a subsequent antibody surge in her milk. Taken together, the evidence describes a mother and infant in quiet, continuous biological dialogue through the breast. Illness whispered through saliva. Answered in medicine. Still remains a hypothesis but the evidence is piling up.

A parasite that has been eating people for 3,500 years is about to be wiped off the planet. It infected 3.5 million people in 1986. Last year, it infected 10. And I have not seen it make a single front page. It is called Guinea worm. You drink contaminated water from a pond in a poor village. A year later, a worm up to three feet long starts coming out of your leg through a burning blister. There is no pill that stops it and no surgery that works. You wrap the worm around a stick and pull it out slowly, over days or weeks, inch by inch. If you rush, the worm breaks inside you and causes a fresh infection. Guinea worm is ancient. Preserved worms have been pulled out of Egyptian mummies from around 1000 BCE. The Ebers Papyrus, an Egyptian medical scroll from 1550 BCE, describes pulling the worm out with a stick. For three and a half thousand years, that was the best humans could do. Then in 1986, public health workers decided to kill the parasite off. They had no vaccine and no drug. What they had was cheap cloth water filters and a small army of volunteers willing to walk from village to village for decades. The plan was simple. Give everyone who drinks from a pond a cloth filter to strain out the tiny water fleas that spread the parasite. Then send volunteers walking house to house, year after year, teaching people how to use the filters and keeping anyone with an emerging worm out of the water. It worked. From 3.5 million cases a year to 10. Four were in Chad, four in Ethiopia, two in South Sudan. The other four countries where the worm used to be common, Angola, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, and Mali, had zero human cases for the second year in a row. The World Health Organization has already certified 200 countries as Guinea worm free. Six are left. The last hurdle is dogs. Cameroon had 445 infected animals last year and Chad had 147, so a lot of the remaining work is on animals, not humans. Strays get leashed, and crews treat ponds to kill any remaining worms. The campaign keeps watching until the number hits zero. When Guinea worm hits zero, it becomes the second human disease ever erased from the planet. The first was smallpox. It will also be the first parasite humans have ever wiped out, and the first disease ever ended without a single dose of medicine. Volunteers walked village to village with cloth filters for 40 years. Now a plague from the age of the pharaohs is about to be gone.

Breakfast, lunch, dinner. That schedule was invented for coal miners burning 4,800 calories a day. You burn about 2,200 at a desk. The three-meal pattern took off in the 1850s, during the Industrial Revolution. Workdays ran twelve hours, and factory workers and miners needed a midday meal just to stay upright. Before then, most English people ate twice a day. Romans ate once. Lunch didn't even exist as a separate meal. The average American walks 3,000 to 4,000 steps a day, about a mile and a half. Anything under 5,000 puts you in sedentary territory. A sedentary 35-year-old guy needs about 2,200 calories a day to hold his weight steady. A sedentary woman, around 1,800. One chain-restaurant dinner runs 900 to 1,500 calories on its own. Researchers at the University of Toronto measured meals at 19 sit-down chains. Breakfasts averaged 1,226 calories, lunches 1,000, dinners 1,128. Do the math: 3,354 calories from main dishes alone. Throw in a soda and dessert and you clear 4,000, roughly what a coal miner used to eat in 1890. US food supply per person has climbed 23% since 1970. Our step counts have gone the opposite direction. The World Health Organization says more than 1 in 4 adults globally miss even the bare-minimum physical activity level. And 40.3% of American adults are now obese, according to the CDC's latest national health survey. Up from 30.5% in 2000. Three meals a day was built for people who swung pickaxes. The rest of us are borrowing their meal plan.

It's so obvious that God exists.

Mama anatoka cesarean section alafu bado anakuja kushare bed na mama mwingine tena. Saa hiyo tender ya bed ilipeanwa kwa relative wa governor akakula pesa. Maternity ndio naonea wamama huruma sana.

I knew our health sector was cooked when ambulances were used to carry politicians during the finance bill demonstrations instead of attending to the gun shot victims.
