13 Habits That Destroys Manhood

Written by Funmi Akingbade One: Basically, you may need to look into your eating and lifestyle habit. Penis does not have to change in colour, size, look and texture if your general health is in perfect state. Things go wrong with the penis especially when you eat or do things that can damage your penis ignorantly. Do you know that intake of synthetic sugar can damage your penis?  Too much intake of sugar isn’t just bad for your body alone; it shrinks the penis faster than any other chemical you can ever know of. The body uses one type of sugar called fructose, to make fat. Too much refined sugar and high-fructose corn syrup causes a fatty buildup on the tiny capillaries, arteries of the penis that can lead to penis disease. Some studies show that sugar can be as damaging to the penis as alcohol does, even if you’re not overweight. It’s one more reason to limit foods with added sugars, such as soda, pastries, and the likes. Continue below... Two: Too much consumption of some herbal

25% Of All Drug Overdoses In America Comes From Heroin

The latest numbers from the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention show that one in four drug overdoses in 2015 was related to heroin. In 1999, just 6% of all overdoses were related to the drug. When looking at overdoses overall, opioid-related deaths represented the majority. In 2015, overdoses involving opioids represented 73% of all overdose deaths, a significant jump from 57% in 2010. Opioids include heroin as well as drugs with a similar chemical structure, such as oxycodone and illicit synthetics like fentanyl. Dr. Holly Hedegaard of the National Center for Health Statistics, who co-authored the study, also noted that this was the first time the number of overdose deaths in the United States exceeded 50,000. In 2010, there were 38,329 overdose-related deaths, and by 2015, that number had climbed to 52,404. By comparison, in 2015, there were 36,252 total firearm-related deaths across the country. As with heroin, there was also a significant increase in deaths involving sy

Google just made texting on Android more like WhatsApp

Google has announced it's going forward with a new way to text on an Android phone, swapping out the default Messenger app for  a new texting app  called Android Messages. Besides the (ever so slight) name change, the switch to  Android  Messages promises to bring a smarter texting experience by adding Rich Communications Services, or RCS, features to the app. Specifically, enabling RCS on Android Messages allows features like group chat, high-resolution image sharing, and those little "Read" tags that let you know someone's seen your message. This would allow Android Messages to work more on par with the likes of WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger and Apple's own Messages service (to an extent), which have quickly become the go-tos for mobile messaging due to a wider set of features. More features, more problems Though more features should be seen as a nearly unanimously good thing for Android owners, the switch to an RCS-enabled texting platform could co

Five ways to boost your Android phone's battery life right now

These apps keep your handset going longer between charges and can help smooth out performance overall. If you've ever caught yourself scanning a room for outlets, or worrying about how long you can eke out a charge on your phone, then this collection of battery-saving Android apps is for you. These apps are helpful even if you've got a built-in battery-saving feature to help you in a dire situation, and even if you have  Android 6.0 Marshmallow  software with Doze, Google's built-in feature to pause resource-draining processes when you're not actively using your handset. While both are terrific, you can do even more to keep your phone going longer between charges. Here are five of my favorite battery-boosting apps. While they share similar features, I especially highlight what sets them apart from the rest.

Shekau kills Boko Haram spokesman over plot to oust him

The leader of Boko Haram’s main faction,  bubakar Shekau has admitted  Killing the group’s purported spokesman over an apparent plot to oust him, he said in an audio recording obtained by AFP. In the 50-minute tape of a meeting with the inner circle of his militant Islamist group, Shekau said he killed “Tasiu” — also known as Abu Zinnira — who appeared in several video messages. “You should hear me: I killed Tasiu, hear me well,” he told the gathering in Hausa, which is widely spoken across northeast Nigeria. Shekau states the date of the meeting — December 18 — and said it had been called to discuss “those elements grumbling over the killing of Tasiu”. AFP received a copy of the recording earlier this month. The tape appears to have been meant for circulation only within the armed Islamist movement. Shekau’s claim appears to lend weight to reports of infighting within Boko Haram, whose insurgency has killed at least 20,000 in northeast Nigeria since 2009 and left 2.6 million homele

Barack Obama hasn't updated his LinkedIn page and now we're even more depressed

Even Barack Obama can't handle the truth. I'd been waiting for the LinkedIn notification, "News about Barack Obama," or "Congratulate Barack Obama on his new position." But there's been nothing. SEE ALSO:  Barack Obama goes hard in the paint in 'NBA 2K17' Then I checked  the former President's LinkedIn page , one  he created in 2007 , while he was just an Illinois senator  running for  president. Barack Obama hasn't updated it. He's still listed as "The President of the United States of America."  This page is just lying to us. SAD! IMAGE: LINKEDIN Reading his LinkedIn profile is like stepping into a socio-political time-machine, where everything is as it was pre-Jan. 20, 2017 when Donald J. Trump took the oath of office and became our 45th president.  Obama's photo is a image of the former president with a hint of the "Obama - Biden" campaign logo overlaid near the bottom. His expe

Apple says iOS 10.2.1 mostly fixes unexpected shutdowns in the iPhone 6, 6S

A couple of months ago, Apple acknowledged that some iPhone users were experiencing unexpected shutdowns—their phones would turn off before the battery was fully discharged and could only be turned back on if plugged in. These problems primarily affect the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus and 6S and 6S Plus. Apple released some fixes in iOS 10.2.1 in late January, though the company didn't specifically mention battery or shutdown issues in the release notes. But now that the update has been out for a while, Apple told TechCrunch that it had fixed 80 percent of the issues for iPhone 6S users and 70 percent for iPhone 6 users. Apple says iOS 10.2.1 has been installed on about half of all compatible iDevices, so if you have one of the affected phones and you've noticed problems, fire up your updaters now. The report says that the problems were caused primarily by older batteries—spikes in power draw could make these batteries "deliver power in an uneven manner," triggering a

Google goes after Uber in court over self-driving car secrets

other's toes in the race to bring self-driving cars to the road. Waymo, the autonomous car arm of Alphabet (which owns Google), filed a  lawsuit  against Uber on Thursday accusing the ride-hailing company of stealing its trade secrets. In a lengthy  Medium post  announcing the suit, the company's spokespeople alleged that a former project manager, Anthony Levandowski, stole thousands of proprietary files before leaving to start his own self-driving car startup, Otto. SEE ALSO:  Inside Uber: Women either 'drink the Kool-aid' or suffer Otto, which Uber bought last fall, then used that technology to build a system for detecting vehicle surroundings nearly identical to Waymo's, the company claims. Waymo said it discovered the resemblance when a supplier inadvertently emailed a blueprint of the circuit board for Uber's laser sensor system. In a departure from the usual bland corporate PR-speak, the company described its frustration with the ordeal a
