Venezuelan region wins Guinness record for lightning

It turns out there is a Guinness record for the place with the most lightning, and an area of Venezuela with 3,600 flashes of it per hour has won
It turns out there is a Guinness record for the place with the most lightning, and an area of Venezuela with 3,600 flashes of it per hour has won.
The certification was handed over Tuesday by Guinness Book of World Records representative Johanna Hessling.
The natural phenomenon in the western state of Zulia is called the Catatumbo Lightning, which generates myriad electrical storms from April to November at the mouth of the River Catatumbo, at the southern end of Lake Maracaibo.
The numbers of lightning bolts are indeed staggering: an estimated 18 to 60 per minute, up to 3,600 per hour and 1.2 million a year, with each flash packing enough juice to light up 100 million light bulbs, according to the Agencia Venezolana de Noticias.
Venezuelan Vice President Jorge Arreaza received the certificate from the Guinness people.
The phenomenon was proposed to Guinness last year by a Venezuelan environmentalist named Erick Quiroga, who has been monitoring the lightning for 17 years.

The Letter That Got Ali Baba Mad at Pastors Living Large Instead of Funding Enterpreneurs in Church

About a week ago, comedian ALi Baba shared some tweets where he suggested that the pastors of large churches needed to have development funds for their church members instead of using the church tithes and offerings to enrich themselves and stock up on more exotic cars for their garages. He received a lot of blowback from his followers defending the practice. Today on his facebook page, he shared the reason for his tweets. I wish he had named and shamed. Anyway, read his account below...

Uganda President Refused To Sign Anti-Gay Bill Into Law

photo
Uganda's president, Yoweri Museveni has refused to approve the controversial anti-gay bill passed by the country's parliament that would see homosexuals jailed for life.
In a letter to parliament, the president who described homosexuals as abnormal said there were better ways to "rescue" people from their "abnormality", adding that homosexuality was caused by either "random breeding" or a need to make money and lesbians, he said, chose female partners because of "sexual starvation" and the failure to marry a man.
"You cannot call an abnormality an alternative orientation. It could be that the Western societies, on account of random breeding, have generated many abnormal people," he said.
He added that even with legislation, they will simply go underground and continue practicing homosexuality or lesbianism for mercenary reasons.
According to him, improving the nation's economy would stop people becoming gay.

How does it feel to be doing the same thing with your wife?
I guess maybe because we met doing this. It’s not strange. It wasn’t like we got together, then we started music. We were musicians. She was on her own, we were in school, she was doing her thing with her own band; I was doing my own thing with my own band – Turning Point. And when her own brand broke up, she joined my band. So, we met as musicians and we were both singers, then we became friends, then we found out that we had so much in common and here we are 25 years later.

9 Things You Should Never Say To Your Husband!

 

 

1. “You’re just like your father."

According to Womansday.com and many psychologists, this is a cruel way of poking at your husband's fear that he exhibits the worst traits of his father. He wants to be his own man!


2. “When are you going to find a new job?”

According to a leading marriage psychologist, a man evaluates himself partially on how he can take care of his family. Pestering him about when he is going to venture into the job hunt is akin to insulting his ability to take care of you and his children.



3. “My mother warned me you’d do this!”

This can be interpreted as ganging up on your spouse; by bringing your mother into the argument, you are establishing that there are others on your side of the issue, and that he is outnumbered. 

4. “Just leave it––I’ll do it myself!"

This can hurt your husband doubly, because it takes away from his ability to take care of his family, and it insinuates that he can't do something right - even something as simple as cleaning up or washing the dishes.


5. “You always... [fill in the blank]” or “You never... [fill in the blank]”

This sets the stage for a dramatic argument. When using generalizations like 'always' and 'never', the argument is usually untrue, and indicates that your husband doesn't give even a modest effort. This makes it easy for insults to be flung back and forth, especially once he realizes he can cite examples of times when those generalizations weren't true. ("Remember last week! I did pick up the kids...take out the trash...etc.)

Basically, millions of molecule sized nanobots will be able to improve our bodies and immune systems and eradicate all diseases. Kurzweil also predicts that these very same nanobots might help reverse the process of aging thus making us immortal.
According to the scientist, another way of achieving immortality would be by uploading our minds on advanced computer machines. He calls this phenomenon “The Singularity”. It describes the moment when technological advancements would have surpassed the ordinary human brainpower.

Marriage without sex is wide-open to temptation. Don’t kid yourselves that you can be 'best friends' and your marriage will last. Sooner or later, temptation will arise, either from a partner’s co-worker, another member of the church choir or a neighbor.
The drive to have sex is powerful, and it will be satisfied, one way or another. When your relationship lasts for a while, your lovemaking will change. As you get closer, passion no longer grows automatically out of the excitement of the new and unknown.
Rather than allowing your energy to subside, you can allow your lovemaking to change and grow, deepening as your partnership does. These suggestions will help you create a variety of experiences together.

Many women may dream of having legs that go on forever. For Alexandra Robertson, however, it’s no dream – it’s reality.
With her astonishing 47in pins, the British model is helping the nation inch ahead in the battle of the long-limbed beauties.
Miss Robertson, 20, decided to find out how she measured up after Russian trainee lawyer Anastasia Strashevskaya scooped her nation’s Miss Longest Legs, with a seemingly unbeatable 42in.
And she was amazed to find  out that hers were a full five inches longer.
Miss Robertson, who stands a statuesque 6ft 1in and is juggling a musical theatre degree with work as a model, said: ‘It is crazy – I had no idea my legs were quite that long.’

N255m car scandal: Presidential panel indicts Stella Oduah

According to a report by Punch, the committee set up by President Jonathan to probe the N255m bulletproof car scandal in the aviation ministry has indicted Aviation Minister, Ms. Stella Oduah.

It was gathered  in Abuja on Sunday  that the report of the presidential committee tallied  with some findings of the House of Representatives Committee on Aviation on the scandal. On  December 19, 2013, the House endorsed the report of its committee and agreed that the minister breached the 2013 Appropriation Act.

It was learnt on Sunday that the  panel, like that of  the House, also discovered that the minister’s approval for the cars exceeded the N100m limit.

A top government source, who disclosed this to Punch on Sunday, said although the committee indicted Oduah , it did not say whether she should be sacked or not.
But sources told Punch  that there was every likelihood of the President using the cabinet shake -up that would follow the presentation of his ministerial list to the National Assembly to relieve himself of Oduah’s continued presence in his government.
