Kanye thinks he was set up by someone in the Kardashian family


Yesterday first photos of Kim, Kanye, baby North and her nanny arriving for a doctor's appointment on Wednesday surfaced online. According to new reports, Kanye is furious about the photos and is blaming someone inside the Kardashian family for tipping off the paparazzi...

Sources tell Radar Online Kanye believes he was set up and is determined to get to the bottom of it.
"Kanye just doesn’t understand the entire families obsession with being in the media spotlight. Kanye knows it wasn’t anyone in the doctor’s office or the nanny that leaked the visit, and the circle of people that knew about the appointment was very, very small.”

Why I donated my kidney to save my brother's life - Comedian D-Don


Popular comedian and OAP Iruvwe Okeremute aka De-Don donated his kidney to his ailing elder brother, Morris Okeremute, who urgently needed a transplant to survive. De Don traveled to India a few weeks back to donate his kidney. He explains why he did it in a new interview
"My brother started having this kidney problem in 2009. My elder sister donated her kidney to him at the time but unfortunately in January 2013 the kidney failed because he didn't take his drugs for some weeks because the drugs he ordered from India arrived late. Se when he needed another kidney it was natural that I donate to him. It wasn't difficult making up my mind because I needed to save his life. I equally had a proper awareness about kidney donation and also the fact that nothing happened to my sister who had donated before. She even had another baby boy after the donation.

Money might actually be able to buy happiness, research suggests.



Having more money might actually make people happier, according to a study
of people̢۪s income levels and their reported levels of happiness. People
with higher incomes reported feeling more satisfied with their lives
overall. For instance, 35% of respondents who reported making $35,000 US
Dollars (USD) or less each year said they felt very happy, while all of the
respondents making more than $500,000 USD reported the same. Previously,
one of the widely accepted theories about money and happiness was the
Easterlin paradox, a 1974 theory by economist Richard Easterlin, which
stated that an average increase in income did not directly result in an
average increase in happiness.

Tweet" became an official word in the Oxford English Dictionary about two


The word "tweet," meaning a message posted on the social media site
Twitter, was first recognized as an official word by Merriam-Webster in
2011, and in June 2013, the word was added to the Oxford English Dictionary
(OED). The addition of "tweet" occurred about two years after OED had made
an official word of "retweet," which means to forward another person̢۪s
tweet. Each dictionary has its own rules about the criteria a word must
meet before being added, but exceptions might be made for words that gain
widespread usage especially quickly. For example, OED generally requires a
word to have been in use for 10 years before being added, but "tweet" was
added about six years after it was first used in this context.
