How Ignorant! I thought only people in Africa got HIV says HIV positive British mum


48 year old mother of three Racheal Dilly who got diagnosed with HIV in 2004 said prior to her diagnosis had thought HIV/AIDS only affected Africans because she didn't know any white person who had the disease at the time.

Speaking with hosts of ITV Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby, yesterday, Racheal Dilly said she got infected after she dated a man she met online and had unprotected sex with him.

Update: Chinese Satellite find suspected crash site of missing Malaysian flight


 
A Chinese satellite searching for missing Malaysian Airlines flight has found what is being described as three 'large, floating objects' in the South China Sea, UK Daily Mail reports
The potentially crucial development comes on the fifth day of the search for the Boeing 777 seems to corroborate the testimony of a New Zealand oil worker who claims to have witnessed the crash of the missing airplane early on Saturday morning. Coni

It is also in the original search area under the flight’s original search path and appears to discount the theory that the aircraft turned back towards Malaysia and crashed hundreds of miles away on the other side of the Malaysian peninsula.

Cristiano Ronaldo Declared World's Richest Footballer with $228M



Popular football website Goal.com released their Rich List and declared Real Madrid and Portugal striker Cristiano Ronaldo as the richest active footballer in the world. football being described here is not American or Canadian football, we adapted football into our prime sport in North America whereas it originated from Europe. European football is regarded as soccer in North America for better clarification

The World Footballer of the Year held off rival Lionel Messi in the 2014 Goal Rich List with an estimated wealth of $228M Canadian dollars ( €148m). Retired footballer David Beckham was the 2013 Goal Rich List winner but since he's retired from football, he's no longer eligible to be put in the list.

Messi comes second with an estimated net worth of $228M (€146m) followed by Eto'o with $131M (€85m) then Wayne Rooney with $228M (€84m), and Kaka rounds off the top 5 with $126M (€82m).

But Goal made it clear that the list is based on the revenue of active players over the course of their entire careers and not just the previous year. See the top 10 richest footballers after the cut...

Where does Canada ranks in Top 15 Most Peaceful Countries in the World

A mock of Canada is being called 'American's backpack', but Canada has had more sustainable economy, a safe haven for investors and new immigrants and unlike US, one of the most peaceful nations in the world despite our multi-language and provincial system. Below: Check out Canada in the list of the top 15 most peaceful countries in the world below

50 Shades of Grey: Everything You Need to Know About Being a Husband

So I read Fifty Shades of Grey. This is the book written by female British author “E. L. James” that became a huge bestseller, devoured by pretty much every woman on Earth except my wife (or so she claims).

I think I might be the only man who read this book. I did it sneakily, hiding the cover, especially when I was on an airplane, which actually is a good place to read this book because you have access to a barf bag. I say this because of the writing style, which is . . . OK, here’s one tiny sample of the writing style:

“Did you give him our address?”
“No, but stalking is one of his specialties,” I muse matter-of-factly.
Kate’s brow knits further.

That’s right: This is the kind of a book where, instead of saying things, characters muse them, and they are somehow able to muse them matter-of-factly.

Men and Women Haircut Costs Around US

Not all haircuts are priced equally. According to mobile payments company Square, which crunched data from sellers around the U.S. over the past six months, the average woman's haircut in the U.S. costs $44, and the average men's trim costs $28.

But those figures are significantly higher in San Francisco, New York, and Los Angeles, among other metropolitan areas, some of which are highlighted on the map below. Square also found that not everyone in the country tips for a haircut. When they do, their tips are, on average, around 20%. 
Note: The map below only highlights a few locations. National averages are based on tens of thousands of transactions from all over the U.S (Source: BusinessInsider)

In the name of Marketing, Barack Obama of US Kissing Hugo Chávez of Venezuela

This is a post by Benetton Group for its UNHATE campaign two years ago. it featured an advertisement that displayed President Barack Obama of the United States and President Hugo Chávez of Venezuela kissing But seriously couldn't they have hit it up with less gross adverts.
This marketing campaign went so wrong that theVatican announced that it would take legal action against Benetton after the company used a photo purportedly showing Pope Benedict XVI kissing Ahmed Mohamed el Tayeb, the imam of the Al Azhar mosque in Egypt.

Terra McKean skpic
Moose Jaw's Terra McKean put this photo on Facebook on Friday and was rewarded with hundreds of replies and thousands of shares. Less than two days later, she was reunited online with her sister. (Facebook)

In another demonstration of the power of social media, a Moose Jaw, Sask., woman has had a speedy reunion with her long-lost sister after turning to Facebook.
On Friday, Terra McKean posted a photo of herself holding a poster a with information about the sister who was put up for adoption more than 33 years ago.
"Please help me find my sister," the poster said. "Please like and share."
Her mother, she said, was a young, single parent in 1980 and felt she couldn't care for a second child. So she turned to adoption. 

Pretty Girl Seeking Wealthy Husband got a Shocking Reply from Investment Banker...lol

Not sure if a CEO has the time to reply to such things, but this is surely fun to read! lol

 A young and pretty lady posted this on a popular forum:

Title: What should I do to marry a rich guy?
I’m going to be honest of what I’m going to say here. I’m 25 this year. I’m very pretty, have style and good taste. I wish to marry a guy with $500k annual salary or above. You might say that I’m greedy, but an annual salary of $1M is considered only as middle class in New York.

 My requirement is not high. Is there anyone in this forum who has an income of $500k annual salary? Are you all married? I wanted to ask: what should I do to marry rich persons like you?
Among those I’ve dated, the richest is $250k annual income, and it seems that this is my upper limit.

If someone is going to move into high cost residential area on the west of New York City Garden(?), $250k annual income is not enough.


 I’m here humbly to ask a few questions:
1) Where do most rich bachelors hang out? (Please list down the names and addresses of bars, restaurant, gym)

2) Which age group should I target?

3) Why most wives of the riches are only average-looking? I’ve met a few girls who don’t have looks and are not interesting, but they are able to marry rich guys.

4) How do you decide who can be your wife, and who can only be your girlfriend? (my target now is to get married)

Progress as HIV 'cure' for babies tested in Canada

Researchers say they are 'trying to understand whether early treatment in infants living with HIV infection may lead to an ability or an enhanced ability to control the virus.'
Researchers say they are 'trying to understand whether early treatment in infants living with HIV infection may lead to an ability or an enhanced ability to control the virus.' (CDC/Canadian Press)
At least five Canadian children have been treated with a drug regimen some researchers are suggesting may be a cure for HIV infection in infants, Canadian researchers revealed.
They said some of the children treated in this manner currently show no signs of infection, though they declined to provide specifics. Preliminary data will be presented at a scientific conference in May.
"Some of the early treated children exhibited sustained virologic suppression, meaning that their HIV viral load continues to be undetectable," said microbiologist Hugo Soudeyns from Ste-Justine Hospital in Montreal.

Huge Drop In Employment As 51,000 Public Workers Were Displaced Across Canada

Canada lost about 7,000 jobs in February but the unemployment rate stayed steady at seven per cent, Statistics Canada reported . Analysts had estimated about 16,000 jobs would be added.
Much of the losses came from public sector jobs, where the figure declined by almost 51,000 people, the agency said. That was offset by gains of 35,000 and 8,000 in the private sector and among the ranks of those self-employed.

The decline brings the rolling total for the past twelve months to 95,000 net new jobs over the past year. That's weak growth by historical standards. There were, however, a few somewhat bright spots underneath the gloomy looking headline figure.

Marijuana Reform: Five Things You Want to Know About Possible Changes to the Law

New marijuana legislation in Canada could mean ticketed fines for small amounts of pot possession, potentially allowing some offenders to avoid criminal records. (Ed Andrieski/Associated Press)
Smoke a joint, get caught by police and then...get a ticket? The Conservative government has confirmed it is currently working on legislation to change Canada’s laws on possession of small amounts of marijuana, which could make it a ticketed offence rather than one resulting in a criminal charge.

This comes after Canada’s police chiefs voted in favour of a resolution outlining the same proposal at a meeting last August. This would not be decriminalization or legalization of marijuana, said Justice Minister Peter MacKay, but would provide police with an additional enforcement measure.
