BEYONCÉ ; LEMONADE.

Image
If you've seen LEMONADE trending everywhere, can I just first of all clear your confusion and say it's not about actual lemonade, cause that will be totally weird. It's about something way cooler, way more exciting, something we've been waiting for for a while now, and something, that is definitely going to blow your mind away. So what's it all about? Well, using spoken word, fashion and lots of lyrics about relationships, infidelity, empowerment and love, Beyoncé presented her new music Saturday night in a series of stylized music videos. She told the story of a woman not to be trifled with. The "visual album" offered something the music world has never seen before. The internet responded accordingly. It's been trending in Twitter since last night with more than 1 million tweets already. First of all I'm happy that this gives us something else to talk about other than Prince's passing, which is just so inconsolable. You're probably w

Image
Sub-Saharan African countries with the burden of malaria could benefit from Mosquirix, a malaria ‘candidate vaccine’ for the prevention of malaria in children in the next five years. The vaccine, also known as “RTS,S” has been tried with 15,000 children at 11 research centres in seven countries with appreciable “safety, tolerance and efficacy level,” Professor Daniel Ansong, School of Medical Sciences, Department of Children, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology told the GNA on Thursday. He said this on the sidelines of a forum of “Malaria Scientist” to mark this year’s World Malaria Day in Ho. The forum was at the instance of the University of Health and Allied Sciences. Prof Ansong said the vaccine had received positive scientific opinion from the European Medicines Agency  and would soon be outdoored after the World Health Organisation’s recommended reviews and follow-ups. He said though not the “bullet magic” to malaria, the vaccine is coming on top of interv

New study estimates contraceptive failure rates

Image
Researchers have found in a most comprehensive study to date of contraceptive failure rates in the developing world that overall, letdown figures are lowest for users of longer-acting contraceptive methods such as IUDs, implants or injectables. The study recorded intermediate for users of shorter-acting methods such as oral contraceptive pills or male condoms and highest for users of traditional methods like withdrawal or calendar rhythm. The report: “Contraceptive Failure Rates in the Developing World: An Analysis of Demographic and Health Survey Data in 43 Countries,” by Chelsea Polis of the Guttmacher Institute and colleagues, expands on previous research on failure rates by contraceptive method. Using Demographic and Health Surveys from 43 countries, the researchers estimated failure rates among sexually active women of reproductive age for seven contraceptive methods of more than 12- 24- and 36-month intervals.

Image
This year is already turning out to be a mad exciting year for superhero comic livers like me. If you've seen Batman v Superman your love for 2016 already started rising fast, and when Deadpool premiered...wow. I've literally watched that movie 4 times and I'm probably going to watch it again after posting this. Well, the year is about to get better for all movie lovers with the Dr.Strange movie set to be released on the fourth of November this year. Right, so for those of you who don't really read comic, here's a little on Dr. Strange. Doctor Stephen Vincent Strange, best known under his alias Doctor Strange, is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. A former doctor, Strange serves as the Sorcerer Supreme, the primary protector of Earth against magical and mystical threats. Doctor Strange was an egotistical, but very brilliant and talented surgeon. So you can think of him as a modern day Ben Carson, just with like, a

Image
Twenty-two students of Wesley Girls Senior High School in Cape Coast, in the Central region, have been nabbed by school authorities for practicing occultism. According to some students who spoke to  Starrfmonline.com  on condition of anonymity, the culprits were grabbed during their ceremony to induct a new leader for the sect as the previous leader is expected to graduate in June this year. One of the students disclosed that occultism in the school is prevalent and has been around for the last 23 years. Most of the students nabbed were first and second year students who had been initiated. The current leader of the group is reported to be in Abban House, a very popular House of the Methodist school. The occultists who are yet to be penalized by authorities of the school have been handed over to the Methodist Church in Cape Coast to help resolve the matter, Starrfmonline.com checks show. The situation has, however, created fear and panic amongst students and parents who are alarme

Trump isn't 'succeeding me' in office - Obama

Image
Speaking at a high-dollar, celebrity-attended fundraiser in Los Angeles Thursday, President Obama predicted Donald Trump won’t win the presidency in November. "I recognize that there is a deep obsession right now about Mr. Trump. And one of you pulled me aside and squeezed me hard and said, 'Tell me ... that Mr. Trump is not succeeding you!' And I said, 'Mr. Trump's not succeeding me,'" the president said Thursday. Obama also shared an unusual bit of praise for the Republican front-runner and his rival Texas Senator Ted Cruz, saying the two GOP candidates should be thanked for expressing the sentiments felt by some in the Republican Party. “Mr. Trump has actually done a service as Mr. Cruz is doing a service and that is laying bare, unvarnished some of the nonsense that we have been dealing with in Congress on a daily basis. People act as if these folks are outliers but they are not!” the president said. “We should thank Mr. Trump and Mr. Cruz for just
