Eating celery helps fights off pancreatic cancer

Celery

The vegetable – plus ­artichokes and herbs such as oregano – is loaded with chemicals that kill the cells

It may be bland but celery packs a powerful punch by fighting off one of the most aggressive types of cancer.

The vegetable – plus ­artichokes and herbs such as oregano – is loaded with chemicals that kill pancreatic cancer cells, a study found.

Leader Professor Elvira de Mejia said: “If you eat a lot of vegetables throughout your life, you’ll have chronic exposure to bioactive flavonoids, which help reduce the risk of cancer.”

Celery is full of apigenin and luteolin – flavonoids that wipe out the diseased cells.

And in tests they created a ­fivefold rise in the rate the cancer cells self-destructed.

Professor de Mejia, of the University of Illinois in the USA, said people who already had cancer would not be cured by eating flavonoid-rich foods alone, but added drugs could be developed to boost their effect.

Dr Jodee Johnson, part of the study, said: “The goal is to develop a cure, but prolonging the lives of patients would be a significant development.”

The research, in Molecular Nutrition and Food Research, did however warn flavonoids could wipe out the benefits of chemotherapy drugs if used at the same time.

Dr Johnson said: “The trick seemed to be using flavonoids as a pre-treatment.”

The deaths of Princess Diana and Dodi Al Fayed are being looked at again by police after it was claimed the pair were MURDERED by a British soldier.

The Metropolitan Police said it had recently received new information in relation to the deaths and was "assessing its relevance and credibility".

Scotland Yard said it is "scoping" the information and "assessing its relevance and credibility".

It was understood an allegation was made by the former parents-in-law of a former soldier based on information that the ex-soldier talked about in the past, according to a military source.

It was understood the information was passed to the Metropolitan Police through the Royal Military Police.

A statement issued by Scotland Yard said: "The Metropolitan Police Service is scoping information that has recently been received in relation to the deaths and assessing its relevance and credibility.

"The assessment will be carried out by officers from the specialist crime and operations command.

"This is not a re-investigation and does not come under Operation Paget."

Police said they are not prepared to discuss the matter further, while a royal spokeswoman said there will be no comment on the matter from Prince William or Prince Harry, or from Clarence House.

Diana, Dodi and chauffeur Henri Paul died after their Mercedes crashed in the tunnel, which left the Ritz Hotel on the morning of August 31 1997.

The hearing into the deaths of Diana and Dodi lasted more than 90 days with evidence from around 250 witnesses.

The inquests concluded on April 7 2008, with a jury returning a verdict that the "People's Princess" and her boyfriend were unlawfully killed.

After the hearing, Metropolitan Police said they had spent £8 million on services arising from the inquest and the Operation Paget investigation from 2004 to 2006.

That money includes the cost of the legal team which represented the force's commissioner at the inquest, police protection for the inquest jury and paying for the Paget inquiry, reported to have cost £3.6 million.

Former Met Police Commissioner Lord Stevens's Paget investigation was launched in 2004 at the request of Michael Burgess, the Royal Coroner, who was then overseeing the future Diana inquest.

TB Joshua’s neighbours convert homes to hotels

Many residential buildings in Ikotun-Egbe on the outskirts of Lagos have been converted to hotels and inns because of the presence of the Synagogue of all Nations Church, writes ’NONYE BEN-NWANKWO

Mr. Joseph Sunday, who resides at Egbe in Ikotun Egbe, Alimosho Local Government Area of Lagos, last Saturday looked every inch a worried man. The expression on his face showed a man whose inner recesses are preoccupied with worries.

Indeed, the 40-year-old father of five, who our correspondent saw at a property agent’s shop, is having an accommodation problem. His landlord at Bolungberu Street on the Isolo-Ikotun Road, has given him a notice to vacate his house in the next six months. So, Sunday’s anxiety was not only on how to secure another accommodation for his family, but also how to raise the needed money to do so. He also has to meet his landlord’s deadline if his belongings would not be thrown out of the compound.

Securing and paying for accommodation in Lagos is no child’s play. Besides, the huge two or three years’ rent one has to pay to get a fairly good place, other sundry financial bills like the agreement and agent’s fees, among others, are part of the burden one has to bear.

The legwork, as it were, is another task any potential accommodation seeker has to face. Indeed, anybody looking for an accommodation has to register with agents, which, of course, requires monetary involvement (perhaps between N2,000 and N5,000) in as many shops as possible, although that does not suggest an automatic access to the apartment of one’s choice.

These and many other psychological issues were occupying Sunday���s mind last Saturday.

Like Sunday, many other residents of Egbe and its environs are facing a similar experience. Small-scale business owners too are not left out of what a resident of the area described as the “mad rush for the occupation” of the territory.

Arsenal make new Wayne Rooney move following Luis Suarez's return to Liverpool training....

Is he Gunner go? Arsenal are in for England man Rooney again

Christopher Lee - The FA

Arsene Wenger has made a sensational new move for Wayne Rooney.

It comes as Luis Suarez returned to training with his Liverpool team-mates after apologising to the club yesterday for his recent conduct. Arsenal’s shock Rooney enquiry shows they are now looking at other options with Liverpool determined not to sell to the Gunners.

However, Mirror Sport understands Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis has made an approach to Manchester United and the Rooney camp was also sounded out this week.

United boss David Moyes is adamant that Rooney is not for sale.

Sprinter, Gloria Asunmnu has said that she made a huge mistake switching allegiance to Nigeria, her country of origin from the USA, her country of birth when she did two years ago.

Asumnu is in the Team Nigeria camp in Moscow and competed in the 100m event at the ongoing 14th IAAF World Championships where she crashed out at the semi-final stage.

The Tulane University, USA graduate wrote on her Facebook wall on Thursday that she made a big mistake choosing to run for Nigeria even though she failed to make the USA team prior to that decision.

She wrote, ‘’Choosing to run for Nigeria was a decision I thought I made for the better but in turn I’m starting to think it was a big mistake,’’ she wrote on her wall.

The athlete, voted Tulane University’s 2007 Female Student-Athlete of the Year, claimed that her growth has been stunted since the switch.

‘’It’s not (the Athletic Federation of Nigeria) set up for you to be the best you can be,’’ she further wrote.

‘’I don’t believe that she said what has been credited to her but if she did, then it is unfortunate. Just 48 hours ago she held a meeting with the people that matters in sports here in Moscow where she discussed her problems with them and they promised to address all the grievances she and others aired,’’ Head of Media and Communications at the AFN Olukayode Thomas said.

Akinlade, M. T. in this fourth edition of the discourse, stresses the need for investigative and objective journalism by the mass media to enable them to inform the populace on the exact demands of the insurgents
THE children neither go to school for Western education nor undergo vocational training for skill acquisition neither.
They also have no moral in any respect as they hardly internalize the Qur’anic instruction. The view of Bozimo that “perhaps we pray knowing nothing about religion other than name” is useful in analyzing “almajiri”.
These children of alms are always at the mercy of peer and amoral influence. As they grow into adulthood, they part ways with their Mallam and graduate to potential hoodlum ready to terrorise the community at any point in time. They neither have worth nor value for themselves nor others.

First Lady grounds Abuja with drummers, dancers

Nigeria’s Federal Capital were on Thursday subjected to unwarranted restriction and security cordon, as the First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, took time off to sing and dance with women drawn from the 36 states of the Federation.

The event, which was held at the Eagles Square, effectively cut off workers from the imposing Federal Secretariat on both Shehu Shagari Way and Ibrahim Babangida Road, forcing them to trek for miles to the office.

The big event, which took the workers and residents by surprise, also prevented commercial and government drivers from dropping their passengers, mostly workers in their designated bus stops around the secretariat.

As vehicular and human traffic was effectively cut off from all the routes leading to the venue of the First Lady’s rally, tagged, “Nigerian Women Rally for Peace and Empowerment”, frustrated motorists were funnelled to any available space, thereby leading to a chaotic traffic snarl for most part of the day.

UNBELIEVABLE: Pastor Impregnates Senior Pastor’s Daughter And Absconds

A 29-year-old pastor (name withheld) standing trial for allegedly raping and impregnating his senior pastor’s daughter in Ikere-Ekiti, Ekiti State, has run away to establish his own church

 .

It was gathered that the pastor whose case had just been transferred from the Ekiti State Magistrate Court to the state High Court was granted bail in July after being remanded in detention for about three months due to his inability to meet his initial bail conditions.

The new church, which he started in Ikoyi area of Ikere-Ekiti was said to attract a lot of people, having succeeded in taking away many members of the church where he pulled out.

The girl, Oluwadamilola who until her ordeal was an SS1 student of a high school in Ikere-Ekiti, gave birth to a baby boy on May 26, while the man was still in detention, over the matter.

Damilola’s mother said the father of the young pastor had entered a written agreement with the parents of the girl in March this year, promising that they would take care of the girl and her pregnancy but the alleged lackadaisical attitude of the pastor thereafter compelled the girl’s parents to report the case to the police.

According to sources, the embattled pastor had been organizing revival programmes and crusade, calling members of the public who were not aware of his atrocities to come for miracles.

It was gathered that the middle-aged pastor was married, and this was the reason he hurriedly left the church in September last year when he realized the girl was pregnant and warned her not to let anybody know.

Jonathan, a drowning President –El-Rufai

El-Rufai

A former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, has described President Goodluck Jonathan as a drowning President, who distorts facts.

El-Rufai, in a statement on Wednesday, insisted that Jonathan had resorted to ethnic and religious politics to score some political points.

The President’s spokesman, Dr. Reuben Abati, on Sunday described el-Rufai as “a serial liar” while responding to an interview the former minister granted Liberty FM,Kaduna, on Saturday.

El-Rufai, in the interview, said Jonathan was playing religious and ethnic politics.

The former minister, who, on Wednesday, insisted that Jonathan was playing the ethnic game, noted that the Presidency had not addressed issues he raised on Saturday.

He said, “It may interest the President to know that Nigerians are much wiser now and will not be deceived by the antics of a drowning president and his desperate aides.”
