Four dangerous foods that slowly destroy the heart you must stop eating

Image
The heart is a muscular organ in humans and other animals, which pumps blood through the blood vessels of the circulatory system. Blood provides the body with oxygen and nutrients, as well as assists in the removal of metabolic wastes. In humans, the heart is located between the lungs, in the middle compartment of the chest. The human heart is situated in the middle mediastinum, at the level of thoracic vertebrae T5-T8. A double-membraned sac called the pericardium surrounds the heart and attaches to the mediastinum. The Heart is very delicate hence the reason we take a lot of precaution when it comes to our diet and what may likely affect it.You may not even realize it, but chances are good that you eat at least one thing that’s terrible for your heart on a daily basis.

World’s First Skyscraper Designed To Hang Suspended From An Asteroid

Image
So far, we’ve had sky gardens in China and floating cities in the Pacific, but experimental architectural design has just gone a step further into the future. New York-based architects have revealed their plans for a skyscraper to hang suspended from an asteroid 50,000 kilometers (31,000 miles) in the air. Clouds Architecture Office, the people who brought us the Mars Ice Home design, have released artwork and plans for their Analemma Tower – a skyscraper that will not only be the world’s “tallest” but also hang suspended from a harnessed asteroid orbiting the Earth. Precarious construction? Clouds AO According to their website, the tower will use what they call the Universal Orbital Support System (UOSS) to suspend the building from an orbiting asteroid via heavy-duty cables. They suggest that in the future harnessing and manipulating asteroids won’t be that unusual, citing NASA’s mission to capture and redirect an asteroid planned for...

Baltimore police officer allegedly plants drugs at scene of a drug arrest not knowing his body cam was recording (video)

Image
A video recording of a Baltimore police officer planting evidence at the scene of a drug arrest, allegedly so he can arrest a suspect, was captured by the officer's body cam without his knowledge. In the video, the officer can be seen planting the drugs in a cup then walking out to of the area go put on his body camera before returning to the same spot to search for the drugs. "I'm going to check here. Hold on," he said for the benefit of the body cam as though he were just going to that spot for the first time. The officer pretended to search around for some time before he brought out the container where he had earlier hidden the drugs and acted like he just found it. Maryland's Office of the Public Defender released the incriminating video. Police cameras can include a feature that saves 30 seconds of video before activation so that's probably how the video was captured before his body cam was turned on.

Nigeria's 2017 budget, despite being signed into law, still being amended

Image
Nigeria's 2017 budget, signed into law by the acting president a month ago, has still not been finalised and is being amended due to disagreements between parliament and the presidency, two sources familiar with the matter said. Any delays to government spending could hobble recovery in Africa's largest economy, now in its second year of recession. The 2017 budget, still not finalised in the second half of the year, was meant to spark that return to growth after the first downturn in a quarter of a century. The presidency and senior lawmakers had also promised that it would avoid the severe delays in passing the previous year's budget, which was signed off in May 2016 -- five months into the budget year. Acting President Yemi Osinbajo signed Nigeria's 2107 budget into law last month. The delays for the 2017 budget come as the presidency locks horns with the National Assembly over projects added to the document in a practice known as "padding"...
