Did Jay Z announce Beyonce's 2nd pregnancy at Paris concert? Posted: 13 Sep 2014 11:30 AM PDT Jay Z may have subtly announced that he and his superstar wife Beyonce are expecting their second child. While performing his new song 'Beach is Better' at the Paris leg of their On The Run tour, Jay Z changed up the lyrics to make the announcement. The original lyrics is; "Can't take this money with you, Burn this shit up like I'm richer, Nigga's asking, If the oven's on' Instead he spit; "Can't take this money with you, Burn this shit up like I'm richer, Nigga's asking ...cause she pregnant with another one" And then check out Beyonce's stomach area in the left pic. Congrats to them if she's really pregnant. |
Sclerotherapy - Treating Unsightly Leg Veins @ Laserderm Clinics Posted: 13 Sep 2014 11:31 AM PDT Some people turn down invites to pool parties while some find that they keep wearing trousers for picnics at the beach because of unsightly leg veins. Many people are not aware that there is a simple procedure to correct these vein malformations. Unsightly veins on legs and thighs can have a bearing on ones confidence. It can for some people have an overwhelming effect on what out-fits they feel confident wearing. Continue... At Laserderm Clinics we perform a procedure (non-surgical) called Sclerotherapy to treat this. Though Laser therapy, which we also use can in some cases be effective as well as ineffective. The good news is even when this fails; Sclerotherapy is known to have a high success rate. Sclerotherapy for Varicose and Spider veins is a procedure designed to improve the appearance of veins. The veins are injected with a solution called Sclerosant which helps to eliminate spider veins or small varicose veins. Usually only the very tip of the needle is inserted into the skin, whilst this can be experienced as a tiny scratch, it should not be more painful than plucking hair It is a proven and safe procedure and has been in existence since the 1930's.The exact cause of these vascular malformations is unknown but it is believed to be related to a combination of factors which include hereditary as well as hormonal factors along with heat and alcohol. The procedure at Laserderm Clinics includes an initial consultation to ensure that the veins to be treated will benefit from sclerotherapy. This will be performed by one of our trained doctors. The area is then cleansed and the solution is injected into each vein. The number of injections can vary depending on the extent and number of spider veins present. Side effects are minimal and if at all any settle within 24 hours. Results can be immediate or you may need 2-3 sessions over a few months. Generally results are mostly immediate. As a result of this treatment you'll have brighter, clearer texture and will be free from unsightly spider veins and have the confidence to show off those legs. Contact us today for a consultation and in-depth assessment of your needs. Let Laserderm Clinics look after your skin and give it the treatment it deserves.

Photo: Rapist almost lynched in LAUTECH Posted: 13 Sep 2014 01:32 AM PDT In recent times, the crime rate at Ogbomoso, Oyo State has become inordinately high. And this is more so the case in areas where the student populace of the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Akure (LAUTECH) reside. With reports of theft, burglary, assault and rape, among other vices on the rise, the students of the institution residing at Adenike area again rose to an uproar on September 6, as one of the notorious armed robbers-cum-rapist was finally caught in the act. Continue... Minimal violence ensued as the intended victims called the Students' Union leadership and handed the criminal over to them. The Speaker of the Students Representative Council, Olalekan Salami, alongside other members of the House, took the criminal in the Unions' bus, but unfortunately, on their way to the Police Station, the bus was involved in a mysterious accident, leaving a severe injury on Olalekan and 14 other persons in the bus with the exception of the criminal, Segun (last name withheld). The Students' Union President, Areo Ajibola and the student leader, Bolarinwa Sheriffdeen, reacting on behalf of the entire students, refused to release him. The school authorities' representatives present at the scene; Deputy Vice Chancellor, Professor Timothy Adebayo, Dean of Students' Affairs, Dr Tunde Olabiyisi and Deputy Dean of Students' Affairs, Dr Ishola, aided in calming down the students. After much deliberations among the police force, the school authorities, the student leaders and the aggrieved town people, Segun was released on the agreement that he would be taken to Souns' palace. However, a police barricade at Iyana Owode, obstructed and redirected the protestants from their initial destination to the Ogbomoso Police Station. Upon arrival at the police station, only Segun, Professor Adebayo, Dr Olabiyisi, Dr Ishola, Areo, Sheriffdeen, and two National Union of Campus Journalists members were allowed entrance into the police grounds. After a lengthy meeting, the Area Commander and the District Police Officer assured the student leaders of justice and maximum security for the school and the town as a whole henceforth.

Chris Brown to Ray Rice: 'I've been down that road' Posted: 13 Sep 2014 01:03 AM PDT Sometimes you wonder why Rihanna was so obsessed with this guy, then you see pics like (minus the cigarette) and you kinda understand. He can be fine sometimes sha. Anyway, to the story. Days after NFL player Ray Rice was fired by his club, Baltomore Ravens, after a leaked video showed him assaulting his then-fiancée (and now wife) Janay Rice, Chris Brown, who received 5 years probation in 2009 after assaulting Rihanna, has spoken out about the consequences and triggers of domestic violence in an interview with MTV News. Continue... Speaking with Sway about anger, domestic violence and what's he's learnt, Chris Brown said; "I think it's all about the choices you make. With me, I deal with a lot of anger issues from my past – not knowing how to express myself verbally and, at the same time, not knowing how to cope with my emotions and deal with them and understand what they are. Help is great. I still talk to my therapist twice a week. It helps me...if I'm frustrated, if I'm dealing with something, to vent, to say what I'm going through so I can hear from an actual clinical person. Who tells you, 'This is how you should react,' or 'it's good to feel this way because feelings, emotions, and energy are supposed to come and go. It's not supposed to stay there; you're not supposed to keep it inside because it'll bottle up and you'll become a monster." "Dealing with my anger issues, understanding myself, the life I've been through and where I'm headed and where I want to be, it's really helped me to really focus. "For somebody going through that situation or anybody dealing with it, it's all about the choices you make and how you control your anger "To Ray, or anybody else — because I'm not better than the next man — I can just say I've been down that road. I deal with situations and I've made my mistakes too, but it's all about how you push forward and how you control yourself." |

Parents release photo of daughter born at 24-week-old abortion limit Posted: 12 Sep 2014 01:59 PM PDT A grieving mum has released this heartbreaking photograph of her premature daughter who was delivered at the 24-week abortion limit, saying 'She's not a foetus, she's a fully-formed human being' Born just 24 weeks (6 months) into her mother's pregnancy tiny Adelaide was too small to survive. This treasured image of the tot reaching up as she let out a cry is the only picture her parents have of her alive. Continue... Service Advisor Emily Caines, 25 from Yeovil, Somerset and husband security guard Alastair Caines, 29, released the photograph in a bid to open up the debate about abortion. The current law allows babies to be terminated up to 24 weeks gestation, the same as Adelaide when she was born. She said: "Our picture shows Adelaide was not a feotus she was a fully formed human being and to think that a baby like her could be legally terminated on grounds of a lifestyle choice is to me is horrifying. Medical grounds is a different matter. Our hospital was amazing and did all they could but Adelaide suffered complications which made it impossible for her to survive but many babies born at 24 weeks do live. "That makes a mockery of the 24 week legal limit."Tragically Mrs Caines had already lost her first baby daughter Isabelle at 23 weeks after going into premature labour in September 2011. She died during delivery. It was in the agonising weeks after her loss that she fell in love with close friend Alastair who helped her through her grief. He later proposed and suggested that they marry on the first anniversary of Isabelle's birth and death to help turn the saddest of days into a happy one. Soon after marrying the couple began trying a baby together but after struggling to conceive doctors found scar tissue blocking Mrs Caine's fallopian tubes. They were told their only chance was IVF and fell pregnant after their first round. At 20 weeks they learned they were expecting a girl and were relieved to pass the 24 week stage, when medics are legally obliged to help save the life of a premature baby. Mrs Caines said: "Only then did I buy her a baby grow and Alistair bought her a pink cuddly bunny." But just three days later she started to bleed and was rushed to Southmead Hospital in Bristol which has a specialist premature baby unit. Mrs Caines was rushed into theatre for an emergency section on December 27 2013 and her husband was at her side when their tiny daughter was lifted out by medics and let out a cry. That's when a doctor took the only picture of their daughter alive at the birth on the couple's camera. Mrs Caines said: "That cry filled us with so much hope. Her little fists were waving and I could see the doctors working on her." But after an hour they told the couple that it was proving impossible to get a line into their daughter's lungs to help her breathe. They agreed the kindest thing was to let her go. Mrs Caines said: "Thinking of my daughters together was the only thing that got me through arranging another funeral. "We were utterly heartbroken again." Five months later they started another round of IVF and Mrs Caines is now 20 weeks pregnant with what she calls her 'rainbow baby.' She hopes that following a stitch in her cervix the pregnancy will progress normally. Her son is due in January 2015. She said: "The theory of the rainbow baby is that something beautiful will follow the devastation caused by the storm.I hope sharing our story gives hope to others and helps other parents who have suffered a loss." The couple are now keen to break down the taboos surrounding baby loss and neonatal death. Culled from UK Mirror |
