Architect Zaha Hadid, 'queen of the curve,' dies at age 65

 Imre Kertesz, the Hungarian writer who won the 2002 Nobel Prize for Literature, has died at the age of 86.
Book publishing firm Magveto Kiado said Kertesz died at his home in Budapest in the early hours of Thursday after a long illness.
The writer's fiction was drawn largely on his own experiences as a teenage prisoner of Nazi concentration camps.
The Nobel judges said in 2002 his works portrayed the "ultimate truth" about just how cruel human beings could be.
Kertesz was the first Hungarian to win the Nobel Prize for literature, although Hungarians had already won Nobel science awards.
After winning, he spent most of the following decade in Berlin where he produced his last works before returning to Budapest, later developing Parkinson's disease and rarely leaving home.
Born in Budapest in 1929, Kertesz was deported to Auschwitz in 1944 and later to the Buchenwald concentration camp in east Germany, which was liberated by the US Army in 1945.
On returning to Hungary he struggled to forge a career as a journalist under a Communist regime and lost his job in 1951 when his paper turned to following the restrictive Communist Party line on what could and could not be said.
His works, including his defining first novel Fateless, draw repeatedly on his experience at Auschwitz, the camp in German-occupied Poland where more than one million Jews and other victims of Hitler's Third Reich died.
He won literature's most prestigious prize for "writing that upholds the experience of the individual in the face of a barbaric and arbitrary history," the Swedish Nobel Academy said.
They added that, in his depiction of the suffering of Auschwitz prisoners, Kertesz showed he was "one of the few people who manages to describe that in a way which is immediately accessible to us, [those] who have not shared that experience".
'Greatest freedom of all'
Written between 1960 and 1973, Fateless told the story of a boy's survival in a concentration camp. It was rejected for publication at first by Communist censors and was finally released in 1975, but was largely ignored in Hungary despite the fact that around 500,000 Hungarian Jews were killed by the Nazis.
In an interview Kertesz once said: "As a child you have a certain trust in life. But when something like Auschwitz happens, everything falls apart."
But he also told Newsweek in 2002: "You cannot imagine what it's like to be allowed to lie in the camp's hospital, or to have a 10-minute break from indescribable labour.
"To be very close to death is also a kind of happiness. Just surviving becomes the greatest freedom of all."
As well as journalism, Kertesz became a translator, converting the works of Friedrich Nietzsche, Sigmund Freud, Ludwig Wittgenstein and Elias Canetti into his native Hungarian.
Numerous other novels continuing the themes of the Holocaust, dictatorship and personal freedom appeared throughout the 1980s and 1990s, winning Kertesz professional respect but not a wider audience. The Nobel win changed that, bringing him domestic and international fame.
His other famous novels include 1988's Fiasco and 1990's Kaddish For An Unborn Child - which formed a trilogy with Fateless - Someone Else from 1997 and 2003's Liquidation, which he described as his "last novel about the Holocaust".
He is survived by his second wife, Magda.

Elton John is being sued by a former security guard for alleged groping and sexual harassment.

In a new lawsuit, former bodyguard Jeffrey Wenninger claims John attempted to touch his genitals on numerous occasions. He says three incidents allegedly occurred in 2014. In once instance, Wenninger alleges the singer put his hands in his pants and tried to touch his genitals while they were in a car together.

According to the suit, John told Wenninger to “get your todger out,” which is British slang for penis, and then told him to “say hello to Uncle Elton.” Wenninger also claims that on one occasion, the singer allegedly twisted his nipples and said to him, “You gorgeous thing, you.” Wenninger claims he repeatedly attempted to physically and verbally resist the singer’s alleged advances, but that John always persisted.

Wenninger further alleges there were several other incidents of harassment from the singer while he was employed by John. He stopped working for the Grammy winner in 2014, and is now is suing for sexual harassment and battery. The lawsuit was first reported by TMZ. John, who is openly gay, is married to longtime partner David Furnish, with whom he has two sons. Gossip Cop has reached out to a rep for the singer for comment on the allegations.

"I GIVE EL RUFAI 14 DAYS TO RETRACE HIS STEPS OR FACE THE WRATH OF GOD"- DR CHRIS OKAFOR

I give El Rufai 14 days to retrace his steps or face the wrath of God - Dr Chris Okafor

Popular prophet, Dr. Chris Okafor came under a strange unction on Sunday, March 20, 2016 during service at his Liberation City Church headquarters, when he gave the Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El Rufai an ultimatum regarding his impending Religious Bill, expected to be passed any moment.

The man of God started by reading out the details of the proposed bill from a mobile phone and then he screamed, “El Rufai, Herod, leave the church alone!”

He then went on to explain the potential anti-christian implications of the bill and warned that El Rufai was only being used to test run something that would later become a bigger plan to Islamize Nigeria, and that if El Rufai is left to go ahead with the bill unchallenged, that at least five more Northern States will follow suite, then all the Northern States and finally, the rest of Nigeria.

Before his congregation of several thousand worshippers and on live television viewed by millions of people in more 160 countries around the world, he sent a strong warning to Governor El Rufaideclaring “It will not happen in my time…it will not happen in your time…it will not be on record that it happened in my time…No! It will not happen!” to a thunderous applause from the congregation. He then continued “El Rufai take time! God is angry with you! You have 14 days to reverse that law or the wrath of God will come against you! You should count it, 14 days from today (March 20, 2016), he has 14 days to reverse and invalidate that law… if he refuses to do so, he should expect the wrath of God to visit him!

Speaking to journalist who thronged the worship center upon the declarations, the man of God said, “I prayed very well, and the Lord told me to go ahead and warn El Rufai. And I want you all to count 14 days from the day of the prophecy (March 20, 2016). If he does not retrace his steps and abandon that bill, God will take steps to honor His words. 14 days! Please count it”

TRYING  TO GET PREGNANT ? HERE IS A NATURAL WAY TO HELP YOU TO GET RID OF ALL FORMS OF SEXUAL DYSFUNCTION AND INFERTILITY




Trying to get pregnant? Here is a natural way to help you get rid of all forms of sexual dysfunctions and infertility…

This is a sponsored post. 

Infertility means not being able to get pregnant after one year of trying (or six months if a woman is 35 or older). Women who can get pregnant but are unable to stay pregnant may also be referred to as infertile. If you're struggling to get pregnant, discouraged or feeling angry for not being able to conceive despite all your efforts... Then you need to Read this post. =>

Are you having any of the following problems?

-- Irregular Menstrual Cycles
-- Delayed Periods
-- Endometriosis
-- Ovarian Cyst
-- Miscarriages
-- High Prolactin 

-- Fibroid
-- Hormonal Imbalances
-- Low Sexual Drive

-- Weak erection

-- Low sperm count

-- Female/Male diabetes

Then, ensure you read this post carefully.

Pregnancy is the result of a process that has many steps and the steps are as follows;

• A woman’s body must release an egg from one of her ovaries (ovulation).
• The egg must go through a fallopian tube toward the uterus (womb).
• A man’s sperm must join with (fertilize) the egg along the way.
• The fertilized egg must attach to the inside of the uterus (implantation).

Is infertility just a woman’s problem?

No, infertility is not always a woman’s problem. Both women and men can have problems that cause infertility. About one-third of infertility cases are caused by women’s problems. Another one third of fertility problems are due to the man. The other cases are caused by a mixture of male and female problems or by unknown problems.

What Causes Infertility In Men?

Infertility in men is most often caused by:

• A problem called varicocele. This happens when the veins on a man’s testicle(s) are too large. This heats the testicles. The heat can affect the number or shape of the sperm.
• Other factors that cause a man to make too few sperm or none at all.
• Movement of the sperm. This may be caused by the shape of the sperm. Sometimes injuries or other damage to the reproductive system block the sperm.

What Increases a Man’s Risk of Infertility?

A man’s sperm can be changed by his overall health and lifestyle. Some things that may reduce the health or number of sperm include:

• Heavy alcohol use
• Drugs
• Smoking cigarettes
• Environmental toxins, including pesticides and lead
• Health problems such as mumps, serious conditions like kidney disease, or hormone problems
• Medicines
• Diabetes
• Radiation treatment and chemotherapy for cancer

What Causes Infertility in Women?

Most cases of female infertility are caused by problems with ovulation. Without ovulation, there are no eggs to be fertilized. Some signs that a woman is not ovulating normally include irregular or absent menstrual periods.

Ovulation problems are often caused by polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). PCOS is a hormone imbalance problem which can interfere with normal ovulation. PCOS is the most common cause of female infertility. Primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) is another cause of ovulation problems. POI occurs when a woman’s ovaries stop working normally before she is 40. POI is not the same as early menopause. Another 10% of ovulatory dysfunction is caused by Hypothalamic Amenorrhea. Hypothalamic Amenorrhea is a condition in which ovulation stops due to a problem involving the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus is an area of the brain that produces hormones that control many bodily functions.

 

Less common causes of fertility problems in women include:

• Blocked fallopian tubes due to pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis, or surgery for an ectopic pregnancy
• Physical problems with the uterus
• Uterine fibroids, which are non-cancerous clumps of tissue and muscle on the walls of the uterus.   

What Things Increase a Woman’s Risk of Infertility?

Many things can change a woman’s ability to have a baby. These include:

• Age
• Smoking
• Excess alcohol use
• Stress
• Poor diet
• Being overweight or underweight
• Sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
• Health problems that cause hormonal changes, such as polycystic ovarian syndrome and primary ovarian insufficiency

Some health problems also increase the risk of infertility. So, women should talk to their doctors if they have:

• Irregular periods or no menstrual periods
• Very painful periods
• Endometriosis
• Pelvic inflammatory disease
