Matthew Knowles babymama speaks out, says Beyonce is not responsible for her son

It was reported recently that Beyonce's 4 year old half brother lives on food stamps after her father Matthew Knowles refused to pay his baby mama child support.

Now, for the first time, Mathew's baby mama speaks out saying she's very disappointed in Mathew and that Beyonce is not responsible for her son...

Alexsandra Wright tells Inside Edition,
"It’s disappointing. I’m not angry. I’m disappointed. More than anything he raised two other children and was very active and involved in their lives and they turned out very well, so why he’s choosing not to acknowledge his only son, I don’t know, but it’s disappointing…”
“I am the only parent taking accountably at this point. It’s not anybody else’s responsibility but Mathew Knowles. I don’t expect Beyonce to take accountability. It’s not her problem. Its not her situation.”

SA man launches contest for virgins, to reward them with R100,000

29 year old Rabelani Ramali (pictured right), a community worker from rural Limpopo province in South African has launched a contest in the country where girls who are virgins at 35 and below would be rewarded with R100,000 or less plus medals; gold, silver or bronze, depending on their ages.

Rabelani who has fathered five children by four women out of wedlock, says he decided to come up with this idea to help checkmate the rate of unwanted pregnancies and HIV cases amongst south African women. He said his NGO, SA Virgin Girls Awards, which was registered in November 2013, is set to take on this task as he has recruited 31 volunteer workers who would help disburse forms among women in schools, market, churches and other places.
Rabelani said he has contacted local medical doctors who have agreed to help him carry out the virginity test on the girls who would come forward to get tested.

R100,000 would be given to virgins between the ages of 31 and 35, R50,000 for those aged 26 to 30 and R25000 for those aged 21 to 25. He expects donors to make the prize money available to the winning contestants.

Woolwich killers Adebolajo & Adebowale sentenced to life in prison

Woolwich killers Adebolajo & Adebowale sentenced to life in prison

The two men who attacked a soldier, Lee Rigby, in May 2013 and hacked him to death in the streets in front of horrified onlookers near Woolwich Barracks in south-east London, have been sentenced to life in prison. Michael Adebolajo, 29, was given a whole-life term, while Michael Adebowale, 22, was jailed for life with a minimum of 45 years.

Daily Mail reports that the British-born men began shouting  'Allahu Akbar' and 'You (Britain) and America will never be safe' during their sentencing at the court in Central London today. They were bundled out of the courtroom by several security guards following their violent outburst and the judge was forced to sentence them in their absence.

Discussing Teenagers and Social Networking

 
Internet has always shown us new ways to connect and share. What started out as a research project aimed at academicians has now transformed in to a life tool itself. From simple text based emails to multicast video sessions, internet has come a long way since its inception in 1970. Once such revolution brought about by internet is that of the social networking websites. A survey found that in the year 2010 Facebook received more number of hits than any other website on the internet, even outranking Google. There are more than a billion active registered users on social networking sites. Even though the total membership is more than a billion, the actual driving force behind the success of social media comes from teenagers. Teenagers are quick to master new concepts and they have certainly grasped this new concept. While adults may use social networking for simple communication purposes, teenagers use it for a whole lot of different activities. Today we will talk about the impact of social media on teenagers.
Every coin has two sides and the same goes for any new technology, it has a good side to it and then there is a dark side. Even though the claimed objective of social networking is to facilitate communication, it has come under the scanner for its potential misuse. It has been widely reported and clinically proved that people who spend more time on social networking websites are more likely to be depressed. We all are aware that teenage years are the most confusing years in an individual's life. Without a mature state of mind it is perhaps easier for teenagers to confuse the digital world of social networking with the real world that they live in and when this illusion of digital world breaks, it might get difficult for a teenage mind to confront the reality.
Another dark aspect of social networking is that of false representation. Internet is a digital world and you can be anyone who you want to be. The problem comes when this false representation takes you away from your true identity. Teenage years are the time when one searches for his identity. In pursuit of popularity and acceptance a teenager can easily fall in this trap of false representation, such activities are destined to drive the teenagers in to a world of fantasy and illusion and will hinder the true identities and spirits. This concept of false representation does provides some sense of acceptance but when teenagers are confronted with reality they often find themselves lonely, unwanted and depressed.
Cyber bullying is another inherent attribute of social networking. While adults may consider it a bit overrated, the truth is that cyber bullying on social networks is a harsh reality. The trauma of cyber bullying is colossal as it can involve thousands of participants within a short period of time. Social networks are designed in such a way so as to propagate a trending story or post, this propagation can take the bullying to a whole new level. While it is a rarely seen behavior in adults, it is quite common in teenagers.
Perhaps the most dangerous of all evils of social networking is that leaves the teenagers exposed to sexual predators. It becomes much easier for a sexual predator to lure in teenagers on a social network, with a not so mature mind and an eager and curious behavior we cannot really blame teenagers for being the victims. There have been many widely reported cases where sexual predators made use of social media platforms for luring in their victims.
Considering all these negatives, one might get an impression that nothing good can come out of social networking, but as I said in the beginning, every coin has two sides and so there is a sunnier side to it too.
Our world is changing rapidly and it is only obvious that in such a fast changing world, no one is going to support censorship of any kind. Perhaps censoring itself takes the internet a step backwards. In the absence of censorship and control, the sense of awareness and responsibilities are the only two things can lead to a healthier social networking experience of teenagers.

The Role of the Robot

By




 
How would you feel to get everything done just the way you want? It sounds mechanical, but over the years it's been done in many ways. The robot is basically a machine that is operated by computer programs. The robot is one of the most supreme inventions of technology in our modern age. Robots are available in many shapes with multiple features. Ranging from toys to large complex devices, you can find many types of robots. Robots are shaped with a purpose to perform different actions which can either be controlled manually or through a remote. In this modern era of technology, people find the role of a robot to be quite useful in businesses, hospitals, research firms and even in academic fields. Robots make the working process faster and more accurate.
Experts say that a well-programmed robot can easily replace a human in terms of completing jobs that are a bit risky for humans to complete. Many people think that robots are responsible for increasing unemployment rates as they have replaced workers in many operational areas. Robots are also being brought into practice to assist in handling many working processes for cars and surgical materials. The involvement of a robot in the work process not only shape things faster but also save costs. There are plenty of such works that are very hazardous and time-restrictive and the use of robots can help to get these works done safely and timely. In factories and industrial sites, robots perform particular operations automatically. People who use robots consistently should take a regular eye on how they are used. A well-maintained robot is likely to perform longer than another.
A small plastic or metallic robot can be a handy gift for children. They would love to have such gifts on their birthdays. For children, a robot is also useful in developing language and interaction as it can teach them about how to do certain things and interact with others. Since robots don't have any feelings like humans, they can be very effective in production activities. Because of their mechanical structures and programmed functions, robots cannot think about how much they are contributing.
Depending upon the purpose, a heavy or light metal can be used for shaping a robot. A robot operates on the basis of three key parts including sensory parts, programs and other components like lasers, wheels and motors. The pivotal roles of robots are not confined to manufacturing areas. Robots are equally useful in helping people out of mishaps, surgeries and more. In addition, robots can also be very effective for providing the walking support to those who survive serious injuries.
Considering the wide range of its operations, the robot is really an integral piece of equipment. Starting from being a learning tool to being a device that handles research work in medical science, robots are used everywhere. Though these machines can't directly interact with humans, they have become key helping hands for human beings. So don't get amazed if you find any robotic equipment that not only talks to you but also acts for you.

Something Is Going to Happen!

Expert Author Dennis Siluk Dr.h.c.
(A Cosmic Experience, -or What?)
It was like this: the apparatus, had yellowish, pink and orange fire like flames, against this great wall, radiated outward, pulling my arms wide-open, and lifting my body up from my half-awake sleeping position I was in, in my bed, it was 3:00 a.m., It was as if I was in front of a spiral, twisting tempest, and it was pulling at me, and it engulfed me, it engulfed the insides of me, pulling at and through my flesh, as if it wanted to pull out my soul, through all of the other life's inner mechanisms. Hence, all being pulled outwards towards this bright and burning apparatus; at the same time its emissions, penetrating me like dampness might penetrate through a brick and plaster wall; my mind unsure of how to react; I tried to resist the pull, as if it might simple be imaginary or a nightmare (but was it? -if so it was unlike any other nightmare I ever had in my 66-years on this earth)
In any case, still the apparatus, with its black dotted, dots, encircled by the fiery-flames, came closer, as now I had been pulled up to a sitting position on my bed, perhaps less complicated; the apparatus more visible now yet still in the process of its magnetic pull on my frame. I ask myself: was it some sort of cosmic machine, beyond space and time, I wondered, I mean, no angels appeared, God's hand or the devil's hand didn't appear. My wife didn't know what to make of it, nightmare, most likely, vision perhaps, something in-between, possible, but what?
I told my wife, in so few words "Something is going to happen," and in hand gestures, to be silent (whom was now awake and had seen everything, but the apparatus); I had, the impression of I'm sure-to my wife, of unseeingly haste, sensing I had but a few seconds, and no more than that, for I was in the force of its magnetic severity, its draw and drag (it now makes me think we don't know much about anything, to include death, and perhaps on the latter, we don't have to know, for time has not mellowed death, even in my old age, it is a startling moment, quietly, or not quietly, 'Here I go I said,' then added, 'Lord, I think I need some help', now for the pallbearers: but of course it didn't come to that).
Whatever it was, whatever took place, and perhaps it was reparation, it was put on hold, as sudden as it came, it left. No dark silence, no random jerks, no ghosts, just some cosmic force bumping into me-if indeed it wasn't simply a nightmare, and it would simplify things if I could categorize it so. But what was its intent, its message? That might be the more important question! I do not know. I know my wife prayed, and in such cases, that is all one can do: lest you fall into it like a winter branch in a storm-trying to figure it out, only to end up like grass under the snow
