Amazing people of Solomon Islands

Beautiful people of Solomon Islands -  possess the darkest skin, many of them have blond hair and blue eyes, something that has puzzled scientists for years.

The people of the Solomon Islands have their own gene that makes their hair blonde and it is not connected to Europe in any way.

Initially, it was assumed that their blond hair was passed on from European traders who were in the region centuries before. 

According to researchers the human characteristic of blond hair arose independently in equatorial Oceania. Others believe that the people of Solomon's Islands golden hair is as a result of bleaching by sun and saltwater, a diet rich in fish, slavery and the genetic legacy of Europeans or Americans. 

Geneticists have tried to solve this riddle through various studies and research. The question still remains, Is it as a result of European influence that makes them blond? Do they all come from one gene.....?

International music stars, Jennifer Lopez and Pitbull were joined on stage by Brazilian pop-star Claudia Leitte to perform the official World Cup song 'We Are One (Ola Ola)'.

The ceremony was followed by the opening match of the tournament - hosts Brazil vs Croatia. The match ended 3-1 in favour of Brazil.

Puzzle of the day

Saw this on my fellow blogger's blog lazywrita and had to share it.

Stare at this black and white wheel long enough and you may see a colour appear out of nowhere.

But incredibly, different people see different colours -and some may not see anything at all.

The wheel is called Benham's top and it creates an illusion of colour when black and white patterns rapidly change.

I feel like my head is spinning now after staring the wheel for sometime. Well, I only spot black, white and combat colors.....What do you see?

Tracy Morgan in critical condition after fatal car crash

Actor and comedian Tracy Morgan was critically injured in a horrific 6-vehicle pileup early Saturday morning in New Jersey Turnpike, hours after performing a standup routine at a show in Delaware, and is now fighting for his life.

Reports say Morgan was riding in a limo bus on the NJ Turnpike after a concert when it was rear-ended by a tractor-trailer.

Tracy's limo overturned in the wreck. One person in the limo was killed, and three others are in critical condition, including the former "SNL" and "30 Rock"star.

Police say 2 tractor-trailers, 2 cars, an SUV and the limo bus were involved in the chain collision -- and, at this point, they do not believe alcohol was a factor in the crash.

Tracy was on his way home from a tour date when the crash occurred.

My prayers are with him!

Brother of Sudanese woman says she should be executed if she refuses to denounce Christianity

Some of you might not know this, but the Sudanese woman, Meriam Ibrahim who held in prison and sentenced to death for abandoning her for Islamic faith for Christianity, was actually turned in to the authorities by her own family members.

Her older brother (pictured above) spoke with CNN today and said if she refuses to convert back to Islam, she should be executed. The things written on the photos are his exact words. 

When the CNN reporter said, "but this is your own sister..your sister", he replied:
But why would I indulge my humanity, my emotions, and incur the wrath of my Lord?

If she dies we will have enforced Go's word. A responsibility we will be judged on judgement day.

University student dies after sleeping with a horse

If this is true, then let me die poor!

I stumbled upon this sad story on omogist website and I thought I should share with you. Us ladies love to be showered with expensive things and go to exotic places for weekend getaways and vacations, but we need to set limits and establish clear boundaries....learn to say NO!.

Karo picture above (her surname not given) was a business admin part time student of a Federal University, before her death. She was one of the happening babes in town, even though she likes doing her things in her own way.

In fact, a lot of her course mates don't know her because she was quiet and she doesn't talk to anyone in her class. She's from Delta State; her father is late while her mother stays in the village.

A Source gathered that, she is from a poor back ground, but she struggled to make ends meet and to also send her younger ones to school, through the money she got from her many male friends.

Obama spotted working out

Obama is at the center of a security breach after it emerged pictures and video of him working out at the hotel gym  had been leaked.

Mr. Obama who was in Warsaw on his current tour of Europe is seen in the video lifting weights and doing lunges in the 5-star Marriott hotel gym.

Turns out a fellow gym user, Jean Ekwa had snapped the few covert shots and video — evidently without being seen by the president’s security team — and posted them on his Facebook page. This was in turn distributed by a Polish news agency.

US security officials have verified that the video is genuine, and are believed to be investigating how such a security breach could have been possible. 

Despite his busy schedules, Obama takes time to work out ...Tanzanian/African leaders learn something from this...stay in shape and fit. Double wink :)

Morgan Geyser (left) and Anissa Weier (right), both 12, face attempted murder charges after attacking their classmate who is also 12, hoping to kill her so they could join the cult of the 'Slender Man' after reading about him on the internet.

According to one suspect, a user must kill someone in order to climb into the Slender Man's realm.

The thing is, 'Slender Man doesn't exist. It's a mythological horror creature that was created by a website in 2009 and the gholish child killer has since become a viral sensation.

But the girls believed the Slender Man was real and they wanted to prove it by slaughtering their friend. They invited her for a sleepover in the Milwaukee suburb of Waukesha, Wisconsin, then they lured her into the woods and stabbed her 19 times.

Rihanna's Rouge perfume poster banned from areas with children

The poster advertising Rihanna’s perfume Rogue has reportedly been banned from being displayed in areas where children are likely to see it because it is sexually suggestive.

The Advertising Standards Agency said it imposed a placement restriction on the poster after a single complaint that it was sexually offensive, demeaning to women and featured images not suitable for children to see.

The agency said in in a statement released on Tuesday.
While we did not consider the image to be overtly sexual, we considered that Rihanna’s pose, with her legs raised in the air, was provocative.'

'Because of this, and the fact that Rihanna appeared to be naked except for high heels, we concluded that the ad was sexually suggestive and should have been given a placement restriction to reduce the possibility of it being seen by children.'

It ruled that the ad must not appear again without a placement restriction to reduce the possibility of it being seen by children.
As such it can now only be displayed in areas where children won't see it.
