Autopsy results is out. Robin Williams hanged himself with a belt Posted: 12 Aug 2014 12:09 PM PDT The autopsy report of legendary actor Robin Williams is out - he committed suicide by hanging himself with a belt in his home. But before using the belt, Robin had tried to kill himself by slitting his wrist with a pocket knife. When that suicide attempt failed, he used a belt. According to the Marin County Deputy Coroner, Robins Williams was at home alone Monday when he tried slashing his left wrist, but it only left "acute superficial cuts. He then took a belt, tied it around his neck and secured it between the closet door and door frame. Williams was in a seated position, slightly suspended with his right shoulder against the door. " TMZ reports. He didn't leave a suicide note...The Coroner said Robin's personal assistant discovered his body hours later. The legendary actor had been battling depression for a while and even went to a Minnesota rehab facility just last month. |

Son of American Ebola patient says she's 'smiling, even joking’ Posted: 12 Aug 2014 11:07 AM PDT The American woman who was infected with the Ebola virus while working with a Christian aid group in Liberia is getting better and is even smiling, her son said today. Speaking with NBC's Today Show, Jeremy Writebol said his mother, Nancy Writebol, 60, who was evacuated from Monrovia last week and was wheeled on a stretcher into a special isolation unit at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia, has gotten physically better "When she came in on Tuesday last week, we were really concerned that she wasn't going to make it. To see her wheeled out of the ambulance and in, I was on the floor sobbing." "We've seen her get physically better, her eyes brighten up, smiling, even joking a little bit" he said.Jeremy, who says he sees his mum twice a day through a hospital window, said doctors told him they are cautiously optimistic she'll recover. Nancy is the second patient to use experimental drug, Zmapp Writebol's husband, David, returned to the United States from Liberia on Monday. He remains in isolation, checking his own temperature multiple times a day for signs of fever. Ebola symptoms can emerge two to 21 days after exposure to the virus, causing fever, muscle aches, vomiting, diarrhoea, and sometimes internal and external bleeding. A total of 1,013 people have died and 1,848 people have been infected since March, according to the World Health Organisation's latest tally on August 11. Nearly 55 per cent of victims have died in the outbreak, which has spread to Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Nigeria. - See more at: http://news.asiaone.com/news/yourhealth/american-woman-ebola-smiling-says-son#sthash.kEKAYhT4.dpuf |

LG’s 4-door refrigerator with door-in-door provides easy access and more convenience Posted: 12 Aug 2014 10:30 AM PDT LG Electronics (LG) has announced the release of its new four-door refrigerator with Door-in-Door™. Accessible with the simple push of a button, the innovative Door-in-Door™ lets consumers quickly and easily take out their frequently used snacks and drinks. LG's new refrigerator also features the revolutionary Inverter Linear Compressor, which ensures considerable energy savings and a quiet performance. Continue... With the simple push of an easy open button, LG's Door-in-Door Refrigerator enhances convenience by keeping sought-after food and beverage items within easy reach. It also reduces the number of times the user needs to access the main storage compartment. This helps to reduce cold air escape by up to 47.3 percent compared to opening the fridge door and keep food fresher for longer. "Consumers have told us what they really need is a refrigerator that provides easier access to the items they use most often and the efficiency to render greater energy savings," said Hyunwoo Jung, General Manager, Home Appliance division, LG Electronics West Africa operations. "LG's new Door-in-Door™ refrigerator featuring the unprecedented Inverter Linear Compressor gives people exactly what they've been looking for – quick, easy access and reduced energy consumption. And, thanks to our Smart Storage System, the refrigerator also offers consumers a smarter way of keeping their food organized." The inclusion of Hygiene Fresh+™ helps to keep food fresher for longer while the Smart Storage System allows users to arrange the inside of the fridge in whatever way works best for them. LG Door-in-Door Refrigerator also provides extra shelf space, enabling users to organize the refrigerator in a way that meets consumers' needs. They can raise or lower the handy Adjustable Moving Basket depending on what they want to store and use the Mini Table – which provides a convenient, flat surface – to pour drinks into a cup or glass while standing at the fridge; saving the hassle of carrying heavy bottles to the dining room. The Smart Storage System improves food organization and maximizes convenience. Fitting neatly inside the main door, the Slim In-Door Ice Maker benefits the user with more shelf space – meaning better organization and access. By relocating the ice maker from the top shelf of the refrigerator to inside the left door, LG's refrigerator can deliver even more room for food and beverages. Meanwhile, the new Extra Space, a recessed area at the bottom of the main compartment, opens up a new found 'space' in the fridge ideal for storing eggs and small food items such as cheese and sliced deli meats amongst others. The Smart Storage System also incorporates the Folding Shelf, which conveniently folds away to make room for larger items like tall bottles or soup tureens. LG's comprehensive organization system also extends to the freezer section's Multi Drawer Freezer and Sliding Shelf. As well as providing plenty of storage, the Sliding Shelf is easy to open and can safely support heavy items. Thanks to LG's revolutionary Inverter Linear Compressor, LG refrigerators provides up to 32 percent energy saving and 25 percent less noise2. Employing a linear piston drive instead of a conventional reciprocating drive, LG's advanced Inverter Linear Compressor generates less internal friction resulting in lower energy requirements and noise as well as greater reliability and durability due to the reduction of friction points. It also helps food stay fresher with an optimal temperature balance and comes with a 10-year warranty. The upgraded Hygiene Fresh+™ air purification system employs multi-layer filters and a proprietary fan to help sterilize and remove bacteria, viruses, mold spores and odors from the fridge's interior. LG's advanced system performs a highly effective five-step process. The double photocatalyst and UV LED help to eliminate 99.999 percent of bacteria while the double carbon deodorizers reduce the presence of acidic and alkaline odors given off by rotten vegetables and fish. The filters implemented in Hygiene Fresh+™ have long lifespans, and won't need replacing for a considerable period of time. This means more convenience and less cost for the consumer. Located in the main door, the refrigerator's water dispenser delivers fresh and cold water and boasts a new, slimmer design that helps to create an additional 10 liters of space for food storage. In addition, the shiny horizontal pocket handle makes the refrigerator more stylish and luxurious. |

How Lagos nursing mother got infected with Ebola virus - doctor Posted: 12 Aug 2014 09:42 AM PDT A medical doctor has described how a nursing mother who is one of the confirmed cases of the Ebola virus in Lagos contracted the disease while attending her antenatal care at First Consultant Hospital in Obalende, Lagos where the first victim of Ebola virus in Nigeria, Patrick Sawyerr, died. The lady was confirmed to have the deadly disease after testing positive at the NNPC staff clinic on Muri Okunola street in the Victoria Island area of Lagos. Speaking anonymously with Punch, the doctor said;
Seeing that the hospital has been shut down, the lady who had started showing signs of fever proceeded to the NNPC staff clinic which was close by. The management of the hospital after confirming she had the deadly virus immediately shut down the hospital indefinitely. Confirming the doctor's report, the Medical Officer of Health, Iru-Victoria Island Local Council Development Area, Dr. Wale Akeredolu, said the woman's baby has been quarantined and is under surveillance

Abuja designates Kuje General Hospital Ebola centre Posted: 12 Aug 2014 08:06 AM PDT The Abuja Minister, Bala Mohammed, has designated the General Hospital, Kuje, in Kuje Area Council, as Isolation Centre for possible Ebola-infected persons. The minister also inaugurated a 25-member committee to work out modalities for responding to the threat of Ebola virus and create awareness on the nature and symptoms of the virus. Mr. Mohammed made this known during a high powered stakeholder's interactive forum in Abuja on Monday. Continue... He said the hospital was chosen because it would be easy for the people of Abuja to access it. He said a ward would be designated in the hospital where the Ebola patients could be quarantined and be on surveillance, among others. He said that adequate infrastructure and equipment would be put in place to manage affected persons and guard against the spread of the virus. "All precautionary measures have been put in place to ensure that the designation of the ward will not endanger the health workers and residents of Kuje," he said. However, the Chairman of Kuje Area Council, Shabal Tete, said the designation of the hospital as Ebola centre was not a welcome development to the people of the area. According to him, this was because most of the people are "illiterate." The minister instructed the chairman of the council to sensitise his constituents, rather than preventing the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Administration from using the hospital. "The hospital is the only option for us to isolate as a centre for Ebola patients; Gwagwalada hospital that is for FCT has been taken from us, we have no other option than to use it. We will put all infrastructure needed in place to avoid its spread; doctors will be given adequate training and best way to curtail the disease from spreading," Mr. Mohammed said. He, therefore, advised the six area council chairmen to sensitise their people on routine cleaning and disinfecting their hands at all times. Demola Onakomaiya, the Secretary of the FCT Health Secretariat, said the transmission of the disease in human was through direct contact with blood or body secretion, among others. Mr. Onakomaiya denied the recent rumours of Ebola in the territory, adding that the three suspected cases being raised by FCT residents were mere rumours. According to him, the people at risk of the disease are the health care givers and family members of infected persons. There is no specific medication or vaccine for its cure. Rui Jaz, World Health Organisation Country Representative, said the organisation would support the administration in its plans to curtail the disease. Mr. Jaz said it was untrue that bitter kola could cure the disease as speculated, adding that it had not been proven by scientists. Akeem Lawal, Public Relations Officer of Nigeria Medical Association, FCT chapter, said the association had held two meetings since the outbreak of the disease. "We are planning to hold another meeting very soon to call off our strike that has lasted for more than six weeks," he said. Source: NAN |
Pics: porn star reveals injuries she suffered after horrific assault by her boyfriend Posted: 12 Aug 2014 08:11 AM PDT Porn star Christy Mack took to her instagram and twitter pages to reveal how she was badly beaten by her cage fighter ex-boyfriend, Jon Koppenhaver, at her home in Las Vegas last Friday morning. She also posted pics from her horrific injuries. She said Jon, who is running from the police, stabbed her and ruptured her liver...see what she wrote below... 'About 2 a.m. Friday morning, Jon Koppenhaver arrived unannounced to my home in Las Vegas, NV, after he broke up with me in May he moved out of my house and back to San Diego. When he arrived, he found myself and one other fully clothed and unarmed in the house. Without a single word spoken, he began beating my friend; once he was finished, he sent my friend away and turned his attention to me.
'I also attained several lesions from a knife he got from my kitchen. He pushed the knife into me in some areas such as my hand, ear, and head. He also sawed much of my hair off with this dull knife.' she wrote. Continue... 'After some time, the knife broke off of the handle and continued to threaten me with the blade. I believed I was going to die. He has beaten me many times before, but never this badly. He took my phone and cancelled all of my plans for the following week to make sure no one would worry about my whereabouts. He told me he was going to rape me, but was disappointed in himself when he could not get hard. After another hit or two, he left me on the floor bleeding and shaking, holding my side from the pain of my rib.'
There's currently a $10,000 reward for Jon's capture. Though he hasn't given himself up to the police, he took to twitter to address the incident, claiming he came to surprise her with an engagement ring but couldn't believe what he found. He tweeted; 'I love you and hope you're okay. I came him (sic) early to surprise you and help you set up for your convention. I can't believe what I found and can't believe what happened. All I wanted was to surprise you and help and do something nice ...now this,'. 'I'm not a bad guy, I went to surprise my gf, help her set up her show and to give her an engagement ring and ended up fighting for my life,' 'The cops will never give me fair play, never believe me. Still deciding what to do but at the end of the day it's all just heart breaking." 'I only wish that man hadn't been there and that Christy & I would be happily engaged. I don't know y I'm so cursed. One day truth will come out.' |

'I did not attempt to marry another woman while married' - actor Solomon Akiyesi now claims Posted: 12 Aug 2014 04:12 AM PDT Lol. This Solomon Akiyesi is a comedian. On April 13th 2013 he attempted to marry another woman in Lagos while he had a wife in Port Harcourt. I even sent paparazzi there to cover the disruption that went down when his real wife showed up at the wedding venue (read here). But now Solomon claims he wasn't attempting to marry another woman, that it was all blown out of proportion...
Not long ago, you had issues with your estranged wife, has it been sorted out? On that issue, let me say this is the first time I will ever grant an interview. I was shocked to see a lot of Idle bloggers and magazines or newspapers claiming I said this and that in an interview with them. Okay yes, the issue has been sorted out. Are you guys still living together as husband and wife? Its not abnormal to have marital upset here and there but I guess being an actor made mine worse, giving room for wannabe bloggers, magazine and newspapers to feast on my misfortune. We are not married anymore, we have gone our separate ways. How long were you married? Our legal marriage was consummated in 2007, so we were together for six years Why was it difficult to continue with the marriage? I was not the one who opted out of the marriage. My father in-law pressurized my wife to leave the marriage or he would disown her. Her level of misunderstanding of marriage also made it worse. So she had to align with her father. What is your relationship with the lady you were about to marry now? Everybody went their separate way that day and I haven't seen her or spoken with her since then. Any regret with what happened? I have no regret at all because a missed step can actually quicken your speed. How did your family react to it? I am not used to family fighting my course. I have been a one man riot squad for years. I was born a warrior. I fight my battles and I win. Besides, I cannot say I come from that family that is so bonded. So when are you getting married? I don't really know. What would you be looking for in your wife to be? Friendship then understanding So are you searching now? I don't know if searching is the word but you and I know I deserve a home and a family to run home to after work |
You think they have it all...you even envy them...then they commit suicide Posted: 12 Aug 2014 03:46 AM PDT I've been trying to make sense of actor and comedian Robin William's death yesterday...from an apparent suicide. I asked myself why would a man who seemed to have it all...fame, money, successful career, children, wife, and some things many dream of and only a few have - Oscar win, Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, block buster movies, millions of fans around the world, star treatment anywhere they go..etc...and yet, they take their own lives after battling depression for years. I'm not an expert on depression, but I used to think depression comes from not being fulfilled in life. When there's something you desperately want for yourself and you're unable to achieve it or when you have it all and then you lose it or you lose a loved one, or your business/marriage fails..stuff like that. When I battled depression for a few months back in 2010 it was because I was so unfulfilled. My dreams weren't coming true, everything seemed hopeless and I just didn't know what else to do.. but I eventually got over it. I've been asking myself, why wasn't Robin Williams able to get over it? Diff'rent Strokes star Todd Bridges took to Twitter last night to criticize Robin's suicide, calling it a 'selfish act'. Below is what he wrote He's since taken the tweet down and apologized after he was bashed for the comments.
Robin is my all-time favourite stand up comedian and definitely one of my most loved actors. I don't understand the world inside his head, I just wish he had been able to fight his demons. He battled depression and substance abuse for most of his career...and you wonder, why? He could make the world laugh but he couldn't find anything to live for? I don't understand. Can someone help the rest of us make sense of this? |
