AMAZING! Dog executes flawless mannequin challenge in Pensylvania. Watch!

For me, this is, "what a man can do, a 'dog' can do it better." LOL. It's funny how some dogs can get to behave so manlike sometimes. Umm... I don't actually mean the Ekuke breed of dogs, they're totally way off the list.

Well, According to UPI, who reported this first, a Pennsylvania dog owner shared a video of his well-trained dog mastering the "mannequin challenge" in a variety of complex poses.  

Ryan Thomas posted a video to Twitter showing his boxer, Boston, holding completely still in various complicated poses, including taking cookies out of the oven and balancing tortilla chips on his head.

"My dog has the best #mannequinchallenge," Thomas wrote.

However, having discovered how viral his first video went, he went ahead to post a second video, this time, it showed the dog refilling his tank in a gas station and then purchasing groceries in a grocery store with some other 'humans' participating in the challenge.

The "mannequin challenge" trend on social media involves people ― and in cases such as this, animals ― holding perfectly still in an imitation of a mannequin. Famous participants in the challenge include Hillary Clinton, Chocolate city(music label) crew and Jon Bon Jovi, as well as the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Thomas joked the mannequin challenge isn't Boston's only trick: "He actually is a really great ping-pong player," he tweeted alongside a photo of the dog posing with a paddle and ping-pong balls.

Toddler's face was 'eaten alive' by herpes virus caught from kissing relative on the face. A MUST SHARE!

The herpes simplex virus usually enters the body through a break in the skin around or inside the mouth. It is usually spread when a person touches a cold sore or touches infected fluid—such as from sharing eating utensils or razors, kissing an infected person, or touching that person's saliva

For this young girl, it was a little different and more severe.  She literally gave her mother and everyone around her nightmares. It was later discovered that she kissed a relative with cold sore.

Well, to cut the long story short, I'd love you to read this story by Mirror UK 

A toddler has had her face "eaten alive", by a shocking herpes virus she caught from kissing a relative's cold sore on the face.

Sienna Duffield, 3, was diagnosed with herpes earlier in the year - a contagious virus which caused blisters to spread across her face.

The toddler has recovered from the scare which began in October 2015 when she kissed a family member which caused the severe infection.

Her mother , Savina French-Bell, 21, from Gloucester, had to wash Sienna's bed sheets daily and constantly throw out clothes because of daily blood stains from Sienna's sores

The painful blisters were extremely itchy and caused Sienna's sensitive skin to be covered in blood stains and pus.

Sienna was admitted to hospital on her second birthday in October 2015 where she was placed on an IV drip because she had stopped eating.

Savina then sought advice for creams and antibiotics to prevent Sienna's condition from getting even worse.
The young mother is now sharing her story to help other parents battling the same condition.

Savina, a nursery worker, said: "Sienna was being eaten alive by her skin infection.

"It came out of nowhere on her second birthday when she started developing ulcers in her mouth.

"It started to look like someone had thrown acid over her face, it spread from her mouth to her cheeks, and above her eyes.

"I realized that she kissed a family member last year which brought on the infection. Everyone in the family was distraught.

"She stopped eating and every day for eight months was horrific, there was always blood on her clothes and I was scared to take her outside.

"People would give us horrible looks, children would stare and adults would make nasty comments.

Savina desperately tried to stop Sienna's condition from getting worse by preventing her from eating and drinking certain foods.

She took Sienna to a private hospital for more answers, where they ran allergy tests.
Savina said: "I was told she may have allergies to something, so I kept her away from pets and made sure she no longer consumed any dairy products.

"Even preventing her from eating certain foods did not heal her face.

"Doctors were shocked and for ages they had no idea what brought on Sienna's virus.

"I was told she has eczema as well which made her skin even worse.

"Her face took so long to heal because her body was so weak.

"Every day her skin would be stuck to pillows and there would always be blood everywhere

Sienna when her herpes skin condition was healing

"I tried to stop her from scratching herself but she would use surfaces such as sofas in the house to scratch her face."

Savina now says her daughter's face has never looked so clear and she hopes that the infection won't return in the future.

She said: "For the past few months Sienna's face has looked amazing and the infection has not returned.
"There is always a chance of it coming back but fingers crossed it won't happen and her skin will stay as good as it is now.

"I was told that the older she gets the better her body will be at fighting off infections.
"It's great to be able to go outside and not get any horrible comments from anyone.

"Whereas before people were nasty to Sienna, now everyone is overwhelmed at how her face has healed, and that's amazing to see."

All you need to know about cold sore

• They're small blisters that appear on, or around a person's lips
• Once they've appeared, cold sores generally break open by itself and releases a clear before drying up and healing.
• The sore can cause tingling and burning
• The whole process can take around one week or two.

Humans will be WIPED OUT in 1000years if we don't move to another Planet, this is why Prof. Hawkins said so.

According to Mirror UK, prof. Hawking has previously warned that humans survival is at risk from nuclear war, genetically engineered viruses and global warming, the New Zealand Herald reported. Speaking recently, Hawking said our future would be a robot world where our children battle climate change.

The world's most influential scientist said our children have a lot to look forward to with new discoveries but also face a battle to protect the world
He said thus: "There are a lot of children here and I would like to speak about what the future will be like when they are older.

"They have many things to look forward to such as the development of robots, driverless cars and computers that will win every game you play.

However, Professor Hawking, who has inspired millions all over the world with his battle against motor neurone disease, also warned that our children face a challenging future.

Hawking has previously warned that humans survival is at risk from nuclear war, genetically engineered viruses and global warming.
Speaking recently, Hawking said our future would be a robot world where our children battle climate change .
The world's most influential scientist said our children have a lot to look forward to with new discoveries but also face a battle to protect the world.

He said: "There are a lot of children here and I would like to speak about what the future will be like when they are older.

"They have many things to look forward to such as the development of robots, driverless cars and computers that will win every game you play.

The 74-year-old previously told an audience at the Cambridge University’s David Attenborough Building that he believes artificial intelligence could destroy our society by overtaking humans.

He said: "I believe there is no deep difference between what can be achieved by a biological brain and what can be achieved by a computer.

"It therefore follows that computers can, in theory, emulate human intelligence – and exceed it.
"Artificial intelligence is now progressing rapidly.

"But it could also be the last, unless we learn how to avoid the risks.

"Alongside the benefits, Artificial Intelligence will also bring dangers, like powerful autonomous weapons, or new ways for the few to oppress the many.

"It will bring great disruption to our economy. And in the future, AI could develop a will of its own - a will that is in conflict with ours.

Outlined disadvantages of Artificial Intelligence(AI) 

Artificial intelligence is the science and engineering of designing intelligent machines. The introduction of an artificial intelligence into machines will enable them to think. It might make them capable of learning and reasoning.

There are bright chances that intelligent machines will be able to perform critical tasks. We might be able to employ them for dangerous missions, thus minimizing the risk to human life. But there is another side to artificial intelligence. Let's look at it.

Firstly, replacing human beings with robots in every field may not be a right decision to make. There are many jobs that require the human touch.

Intelligent machines will surely not be able to substitute for the caring behavior of hospital nurses or the promising voice of a doctor. Intelligent machines may not be the right choice for customer service.

One of the major disadvantages of intelligent machines is that they cannot be 'human'. We might be able to make them think. But will we be able to make them feel? 

Intelligent machines will definitely be able to work for long hours. But will they do it with dedication? Will they work with devotion? How will intelligent machines work wholeheartedly when they don't have a heart?

Apart from these concerns, there are chances that intelligent machines overpower human beings. Machines may enslave human beings and start ruling the world. Imagine artificial intelligence taking over human intellect! The picture is definitely not rosy, is it?

Well, if you find this post worth SHARING, do endeavour to do so.

This guy named Ben Hooper, will swim from West Africa to Brazil, find out How and then Why

At first glance, Ben Hooper does not appear to be your stereotypical explorer. In fact, he seems rather more like a friendly policeman, which he is, incidentally. But appearances can still be deceptive.

The father-of-one, from Gloucestershire, is embarking on an expedition that would make even the hardiest outdoor type quiver with horror. In December, Ben Hooper will step on to a beach in Dakar, Senegal, and plunge into the warm blue waters of the Atlantic. He will not stop swimming until he hits Natal in Brazil. The distance is 1,763 miles.

But that’s only if he goes in a straight line. And swimming across the Atlantic in a straight line is a bad idea: “The currents in the centre are so strong, I’d never get there. It’s an absolute car wreck in the centre. Great for rowers, great for sailors, horrible for swimmers,” he says.

Instead he will go in a strange L-shape, heading south until he crosses the Equator before swimming back to the coast of Brazil. In all, if all goes to plan, it will take about 120 days:

Hooper, a former policeman from Cheltenham, will swim for about eight or nine hours every day for four months. “I will be staring at a blue wall. There might be some marine life, there might be sharks, dolphins, cargo containers, some garbage. But mostly just a blue wall.”

If you thought this was an impossible challenge, you’d be right: 4,100 people have climbed Everest, 1,340 have swum the Channel, and 12 men have walked on the moon. No one has swum the full distance of the Atlantic, continent to continent.

Hooper, 35, thinks not only can it be done, but he is the man to do it. “It’s the last great challenge. It’s human nature to push our boundaries. Finding a new feat is not just about pushing things further, it’s about trying to inspire people.”

I find him very winning. Both his enthusiasm and his lack of egocentricity – something that seems to plague most explorers. But beneath the chatty exterior there is steel, not least in his determination to prove that an ordinary former bobby-on-the-beat can be a Boy’s Own hero. “You don’t need to be born with a silver spoon in your mouth,” he says

And he is deadly serious, spending the past two years training in the warm waters off the Florida Keys, while assembling a support team, including doctors and academics who will monitor his progress as well as marine wildlife and debris in the middle of the ocean. He has raised more than £100,000 of the required £150,000 funding through sponsorship.

But no amount of planning will fully prepare him for the obstacles he will face during the swim. There is the immersion in salt water – “amazingly horrendous, it scorches the back of your throat, especially in the heat” – and it will be surprisingly hot in the middle of the Atlantic, with the water temperature reaching a heatstroke-inducing 30-32C in the waters around the Equator.

Then, there are monster waves to contend with. “The maximum swells, you’re looking at 15ft waves. It’s like a rollercoaster. You get the tummy fright. And then …” he signals a huge plunge downwards with his hand. “But when they go the wrong way, it’s like trying to swim up a hill. It’s going to be very interesting.”

Other obstacles are rather more worrying. “I feel our biggest threat is the Atlantic oceanic whitetip – it’s a shark, and a big-arsed shark at that. They are a good seven to 10 feet, but they come vertically up in attack. So, I’d be the first to see it and the last one to go, ‘aargh!’.”

To combat predators he is wearing a camouflage wetsuit and using an experimental gas – released using an aerosol in the water – that replicates the smell of rotting shark cartilage. “Sharks just turn tail and run,” he says.

However, the biggest challenge of all is monumental boredom. Hooper says that his mind can play various tricks when he is on a long swim: unexpected odours – steak frying – or he hears voices of the people from his past. “How do you stop yourself from going insane? I’ve no idea.”

 
Only two other people have made serious attempts to cross the Atlantic using nothing but their arms, legs and a wet suit; but neither crossing was ratified by Guinness World Records because of the ‘‘lack of transparency’’ about the time spent in the water and the routes take

Like the previous attempts, Hooper’s will be an “assisted staged swim” – long stretches of swimming, with breaks on the support boat at night and in the middle of the day. These pauses will give him a chance to consume the required 12,000 daily calories – mostly boil-in-the-bag Vestey army ration packs.

But Hooper is determined that his crossing will be irreproachable, with the help of an observer on his support boat logging every mile, a videographer filming, and a GPS gizmo strapped to his wetsuit that will allow people back home to track him on their phones.

“Without taking away anything from [Lecomte’s] feats, we will do every single mile and it will be transparent. That’s the difference.”

For much of the time, the equatorial current will push him towards South America. “It could help me, but we can’t allow it to help me. That’s fundamental to the swim.” And for every mile that he is in the ocean, his team will calculate how much the current has helped – both while he drifts on the support boat and while he is actually doing his front crawl.

They will then knock off that advantage from his daily tally. “I have to swim every single one of those miles,” he repeats.

On the "Why"? 

He spent most of his teenage years dreaming of becoming the youngest man to reach the South Pole and wrote fan mail to Sir Ranulph Fiennes. “Ran wrote me this wonderful letter back saying it was absolutely doable, giving me advice. It was so inspirational.”

UNBELIEVABLE! This is what your home will look like when you live on Mars.

For quite a long time, living in Mars has been a topic on a lot of people's lips. It's sometimes considered a myth in some part of the world by some people. To me, Mars is a place worth going, I mean think of the adventure of floating in space crafts, having to be in a place far from the boring usual. It's just way too much to imagine.

If you have always had retirement plans prior, there’s a chance that, sooner or later, you might have to move further than you were thinking. As far as Mars.

On Thursday, to mark the launch of its new six-part docudrama Mars, National Geographic will unveil the first ever Mars show home, giving earthlings an idea of what their life could look like on the Red Planet.
Set in the not-so-distant year of 2037, in Valles Marineris, a vast system of canyons on the Mars equator, the igloo-shaped structure could be the home of your future.

It depicts a house built using recycled spacecraft parts and Martian soil, called regolith, which has been microwaved into bricks. Some parts of the home are recognisable – kitchen, bedroom – but there are core differences that are vital for human survival.

We don’t think of our houses as things that keep us alive, but on Mars your dwelling will be a survival centre

 
As the Martian atmosphere is around one hundredth as thick as the Earth’s, people will need permanent shielding from the sun; society will move largely indoors. Most buildings will be connected by underground tunnels and the houses won’t have windows. The homes will have simulated solar lighting, or natural light that has been refracted several times.

Walls will need to be 10 to 12ft thick, to protect people from dangerous cosmic rays that can pass through six feet of steel, and a double air-locked entrance will keep the home pressurised.

“We don’t think of our houses as things that keep us alive, but on Mars your dwelling will be a survival centre,” says Stephen Petranek, author of How We’ll Live on Mars and a consultant on Mars.
 
This is not just the stuff of sci-fi. “Ten to 20 years from now there will certainly be people on Mars,” Petranek says.

Entrepreneur Elon Musk aims to land people on Mars by 2024 and thinks he can send 80,000 people to the Red Planet by 2050. Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is working on a similar plan.

 

“We’ve had the technology for 30 years to do this, but we haven’t had the will,” Petranek says. But two main factors have “completely shifted public attitudes”
The private sector’s involvement has forced government agencies to up their game, and influential films such as Gravity and The Martian have caught society’s eye.

Petranek is optimistic about humans’ future on Mars. He likens the challenges of starting a new society in space to troops in war, who become close because they are dependent on each other for survival.

“I think we will create a very liveable and likeable environment,” he says. “It’s not terrifying. It’s kind of glorious.”

So what do you think about this agenda? What was running through your mind as you read through this post? You can't wait to get to Mars probably?
Do you think it's a bad idea? Well, you can put them all down in the COMMENT  section below.

10. Our very own Wole Soyinka

“If the unlikely event happens and he wins, the first thing he(trump) will do is to say [that] all green-card holders must reapply to come back into the US. Well, I’m not waiting for that,” 

 “The moment they announce his victory, I will cut my green card myself and start packing up.”

Soyinka, is scholar-in-residence at New York University’s Institute of African American Affairs this autumn.
