30 days after his "blockbuster" trial was put on hold so he can get psychiatric evaluation to determine if he was mentally ill when he shot dead his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp on 14 February 2013, a psychiatric report has been released.

A panel of mental health experts has concluded that Oscar Pistorius was not suffering from mental illness when he killed Reeva, and can be held criminally responsible.

The mental experts, a psychologist and 3 psychiatrists all agreed that Pistorius, 27 understood the gravity of his act when he shot Steenkamp through a closed toilet door.

The Olympic athlete was sent for psychiatric observation following an expert witness's testimony that he suffered an anxiety disorder. 

Pistorius's trial resumed today after one month break and faces a maximum of 25 years in prison if found guilty of premeditated murder

Africa is out of the World Cup! #SadFace

Five African teams qualified for the World Cup:  Algeria, Cameroon, Ghana, Ivory Coast and Nigeria.

European soccer powers France and Germany knocked off Nigeria and Algeria, respectively, sending home the last African teams left in the tournament .

France goal was almost inevitable, and it came with Nigerian goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama's poor contact on a cross that left France's Paul Pogba an open net for the game-winner.

Nigeria played France well until about the 79th minute and Joseph Yobo's own goal compounded the Super Eagles' misery.

Algeria had the best opportunities in the first half and exposed a slow German defense that needed goalkeeper Manuel Neuer to play as an auxiliary defender. Neuer came off his line a remarkable 18 times, clearing out plays.

Final results
France 2, Nigeria 0
Germany 2, Algeria 1

Real Housewives Of Atlanta star Apollo Nida has been sentenced to eight years in federal prison for identity theft, fraud and money laundering totalling up to $2.3milion.

Nida reportedly used the identities he stole from people to set up bank accounts in which to launder the money, cashing cheques and fraudulent US income tax returns.

TMZ reports;
Apollo Nida just got an enormous break for singing like a canary ... he got 1/4 the maximum sentence for a massive money fraud scheme.

Nida, who appears on "Real Housewives of Atlanta" with wife Phaedra Parks -- was just sentenced to 8 years in federal prison for cashing stolen checks and laundering more than $2.3 million through phony bank accounts.

The judge who sentenced him today in a Georgia court said Nida did indeed cooperate with federal investigators by spilling criminal secrets ... and that's why he got leniency.

Nida could have been sentenced to 30 years, so 8 years is a big victory.
His wife 35-year-old's wife Phaedra Parks is reported not to be involved in the four-year scheme which he pled guilty to

'Lamar cheated with another woman on my birthday, & I lied to cover for him' - Khloe K

In a new preview for Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Khloe Kardashian confessed that her now ex-husband Lamar Odom cheated on her with another woman on her birthday last year and she lied to cover for him.
Lamar is doing all this press because he is on a new team. But what he is saying is just not true. Saying that he talks to me everyday and that we are working things out. But I haven't been able to reach him for months. And it almost gets my hopes up.

He's wearing his ring full time. F**k your ring, you were wearing it when you were f*****d someone else too! The way I was living was not a way to live. Everything I did I had to hide or conceal or cover up.

Let me tell you something. Last year on my birthday I lied to everyone. Because I had to lie and say I was with my husband. When in fact my husband was missing with another girl. Okay? And I lied and I gave up my Beyonce tickets. That's how badly I was hiding. And I didn't have a birthday. I was alone and lied to everyone.

We all commute in our cars but for a long ride or travelling between cities to cities then we all usually prefer to adapt different mode of transport like planes, tradition trains, metro or even trams.

The recent advancements in tram system. Check out the latest updated model of Tram that will soon be running on the roads of Russia.

The new tram called Russia One is one of the concepts that have much resemblance with a Bat mobile. The forward-tilted windshield helps the conductor spot walkers, while the glass composite boards are not difficult to supplant. The tram is front line within, as well. Element LED lighting and music change the lodge temperament to suit the time of day. You'll discover situating (GPS and GLONASS), cooling, hostile to bacterial hand rails and Wi-Fi. The driver even gets a USB 3.0 port that can keep a telephone controlled up.

Don’t depend on jumping on board one of these mass travel wonders when they go into creation, which ought to be at some point in 2015. 

Did you know Saureznia? lol

Saureznia, is an inborn condition of the central nervous system, which influences the use of teeth bite as the best form of natural defense mechanism against aggression, provocation, and frustration. In most cases it can be hereditary or communicable,developing as a result of influence from someone suffering from the disease.

It is a temperamental disease arising from a quick, simple voluntary action response to a build up of anger and reaction to tension as a kid, and developing into adult uncontrollable involuntary action of the individual body defense mechanism. The unchecked chronic condition of Suareznia disease is a wild form resulting into Zombification.

Suareznia is good for no one, it could wreck a talent and mere a dream. Check it, fight it, get rid of it, don't teach, nor communicate it anyone else. Save the world, say no to Suareznia, to avoid world Zombification.

I found the above pic and comment on facebook, I laughed my rib out. On another note, people are not happy with Lionel Messi winning FIFA's "Golden Ball" award for the best player of World Cup 2014, despite having a relatively quiet final against Germany, many say James Rodriguez deserved it....what is you take on that?

Malaysian airline again??????

Malaysian airline should forget it. This might be the end of their business.

Malaysian Airlines plane carrying 298 passengers and crew crashes in eastern Ukraine, in apparent missile strike.

Ukrainian Interior Minister said all on board are dead and that the plane was shot down by Russian ground-to-air anti-aircraft missiles at 32,000 feet and at 500mph.

The plane, a Boeing 777, came down near the city of Donetsk, which is a border between Russia and Ukraine where a Ukrainian transport plane was shot down at 21,000 feet on Monday July 13th and a military jet shot down last week from the Russian side of the border.

The Interior Minister said pro-Russian separatists have been hunting down their planes for weeks. 6 Ukrainian military jets have been shot down in the last few months by the Russians. There's been military conflict between Ukraine and Russia for a while. 

The downing of the plane was reportedly "not an accident" and that the passenger jet was apparently ... blown out of the sky. The plane fell in an area controlled by pro-Russian separatists.

However, Ukraine accused "terrorists" and denied any involvement, although around the same time their military commander said his forces had downed a much smaller Ukrainian transport plane. It would be their third such kill this week.

Malaysia Airlines said that 154 Dutch citizens, 27 Australians, 43 Malaysians, 12 Indonesians, nine British, four German, four Belgian, three Filipinos and one Canadian were onboard the aircraft.

The plane departed Amsterdam at 12.30pm and went down around 4.30pm. See photos from the crash below.....
The BUK surface-to-air missile system (like this one) that is believed to have shot down flight MH17 is an old Soviet-built weapon designed to engage light aircraft, cruise missiles and drones.

The mother of Real Madrid footballer and Portuguese international, Cristiano Ronaldo, has revealed that she attempted to abort him while she was pregnant by drinking warm beer and running 'till she dropped'.

Dolores Aveiro made the admission in a tell-all biography, , Mãe Coragem (which translates to ‘Mother Courage’), that doctors disagreed with her decision to terminate her pregnancy and refused to carry out the procedure.
I wanted to abort but the doctor didn’t support my decision, she wrote in her autobiography.
Although she did not give any reason for wanting to abort her unborn child, Dolores said she had approached her doctor to carry out the abortion but he didn't agree with it and refused to do it. She then resorted to doing it herself by drinking warm beer and running with the hope that she would lose the pregnancy.

Speaking at the launch of her book in Lisbon yesterday, Dolores said Ronaldo of her secret and even joked about it.
He told me when he found out, 'Look mum, you wanted to abort and now I'm the one who's pulling the purse-strings in the house.'....she reportedly said.
