The parents of a college freshman who was found dead on campus say they found out about her death on Facebook.

Jasmine Benjamin, a 17-year-old nursing student at Valdosta State University from Lawrenceville, Ga., was found dead in a study area in her dorm on Nov. 18. According to CBS Atlanta, police are treating the death as a homicide, pending the results of an autopsy.

Jasmine's parents say the school did not inform them of her death, learning about it instead through a friend's Facebook post.

"For someone to be so insensitive not to reach out to the family, it's very, very hurtful to say the least," James Jackson, Jasmine's stepfather, told the network.

School officials say campus police notified Gwinnett County Sheriff's Department, which then notified her parents.

FEC approves N2.2bn 150-seater banquet hall for Aso Rock Villa

The federal government of Nigeria wants to spend over two billion Naira for a 150-seater banquet hall. When i heard about it, i thought perhaps the media made a mistake or did not hear them clearly... and perhaps we are talking of a 10, 000 seater hall which is still not a criteria for that kind of amount.

If i remember well, there's an existing banquet hall in the Villa .Why this one again..?

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Senator Bala Muhammed, said the proposed hall, which will be constructed by Julius Berger, will have walk ways, security post, hall conveniences, technical room and press briefing room. 

And all that for a whooping sum of N2.2bn? ..Mbuk?

But wait o, if i were to speak about this, with all honesty, i think we should reconsider the way we exhume our expenditure in this part of the region/world.

this is quite unnecessary, when we have hungry children and women all over, flood victims and roads to repair.. Please give this a thorough thought before *slow down men at work*

How to Disagree with Your Boss -- And Not Getting FIRED!

 

You're at your weekly staff meeting, and you've just presented your brilliant idea on how to boost productivity and save money. But then your boss shoots down your idea with a vague reason or two. You know you're right and your boss is wrong. So should you remain quiet or stand up for your idea?

Update Your ResumeJoseph Grenny, co-author of Crucial Conversations: Tools for Talking When Stakes Are High, says that with the right set of skills, you can respectfully disagree with your boss, without damaging the relationship and without risking your job.

Here are some tips: 
Speak Up
First, recognize that your opinion counts. "The ability to master crucial conversations is vitally important in the workplace," says Grenny. "Those who have difficulty confronting others negatively impact their organization."
Emily Bennington, co-author of Effective Immediately: How to Fit In, Stand Out, and Move Up at Your First Real Job, agrees that learning how to speak up is vital to success. "As you move up in your career, it's important to understand how to handle difficult conversations," Bennington says. "The sooner we can all learn to solve problems rationally through mature dialogue, the better."

Butt enhancement gone bad!

This video was posted by a woman on Facebook showing and describing how her botched silicone implant is now protruding in an ugly disc shape at the back of her butt cheek. In the 20 seconds clip, the anonymous woman slowly manipulates it back into place, saying 'This is my implant flipping backwards. I don't think an implant is supposed to do that.

Citrus

Most people turn to vitamin C after they've caught a cold. But did you know it tops the charts of foods that keep your immune system running at 100%? Vitamin C helps increase the production of white blood cells, key to fighting infections. Because your body doesn't produce or store it, daily intake of vitamin C is essential for continued health.

Health: Grapefruit and Medications May Be A Deadly Mix

 

If your life is vital to you, you may want to look into this article...

The number of common prescription drugs that can interact with grapefruit—with potentially serious or even fatal results—is climbing sharply, according to a new comprehensive review published in Canadian Medical Association Journal.
Researchers from Western University report that grapefruit juice can interact with more than 85 oral medications, including certain cholesterol-lowering statins, cancer medications, antibiotics, anti-depressants, pain medications, heart drugs and other widely used pills.
"What I've noticed over the last four years is really quite a disturbing trend, and that is the increase in the number of drugs that can produce not only adverse reactions but extraordinarily serious adverse drug reactions," lead researcher David Bailey, a clinical pharmacologist at the Lawson Health Research Institute, told CBC News.
