Loss of sex hormone 'oestrogen' causes a woman's face to age faster than a man - New Research

Researchers from the University of Vienna studied almost 600 points on volunteers faces using computers to map the effects of aging on men and women aged between 20 and 90 and the researchers found women's faces aged 'quicker' than a man of the same age once they hit menopause

The researchers analysed the faces of 88 men and women in the study. They then scanned 585 measurement points on the face and compared the differences in the faces between adults of different ages.
In both sexes, they said, the features of ageing were generally similar and included a flatter face, saggier skin, deeper lines between nose and the corner of the mouth, smaller visible areas of the eyes, thinner lips and longer nose and ears. But even before the age of 50, experts found, women’s faces age twice as fast as men. Between 50 and 60 the ‘ageing trajectory’ was up to three times faster.

He had been lowered into the river from a boat, bound with six locks and a chain as a crowd on two other boats looked on.

A crowd also gathered on the shore and on Howrah Bridge in Kolkata.

Nigerians Smoke the Most Weed on Earth, Spend Over $15 Billion on Pot Annually

According to a new report, there are over 20 million cannabis users in Nigeria, who collectively consume the most weed on the planet.

When we imagine cannabis destinations, states like California and Colorado, and countries like Canada, the Netherlands, and Uruguay quickly come to mind. With legal weed laws on the books and entire tourism sectors dedicated to the sweet leaf, you would think that one of those locales would be home to the world’s most prolific pot smokers, right? Wrong.

According to a new report from cannabis analytics firm New Frontier Data and first reported by BusinessDay, the African nation of Nigeria is the leader in global cannabis consumption. Nigeria currently has an estimated 20.8 million pot consumers lighting up annually, with more than $15 billion spent on weed every year.

Naira Marley’s management reacts to reports the singer is yet to find someone to stand surety for his bail

The management of embattled singer, Afeez Fashola aka Naira Marley, has reacted to allegations that the singer who was granted bail by a Lagos court on May 30th, is yet to be released from prison because no one wants to stand as surety for him.

 Reacting to the allegation, his management in a post shared on his Instastories this morning, said there are sureties already on ground to sign his bail but the delay in releasing the singer is because the anti-graft agency, EFCC, needs to verify the information provided by the sureties and this takes time.

Spider-Man: Far From Home Features Tony Stark's Hidden Lab

Spider-Man: Far From Home will reveal Tony Stark's (Robert Downey Jr.) secret workshop. Iron Man may be gone, but his legacy lives on with protege Peter Parker (Tom Holland). And while the genius billionaire is no longer around, he'll continue to be an integral part of the young hero's adventures as the web-slinging wall-crawler. That may come in the form of simply being an inspiration, or in more tangible ways like handing down some of his high-tech resources for Peter to take advantage of.

Directed by Spider-Man:Homecoming filmmaker Jon Watts, Far From Home will take place after the universe-shaking events of Avengers: Endgame. With Peter struggling to come to terms with the idea of a world without Tony, he'll be off for a recreational trip across the pond alongside some of his schoolmates. But his vacation will be hijacked by Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), who ropes him into a mission tackling the so-called Elementals that'll team him up with Quentin Beck aka Mysterio (Jake Gyllenhaal). Readers of comic books know, however, that both Peter and Fury need to keep their guards up against Beck considering his conniving ways in print. The film sounds pretty much straightforward, but Holland promises some big surprises, one of which includes the revelation of Tony's secret lab.

Kingsman 3 May Film This Year, Kingsman Prequel Casts Liam Neeson

Matthew Vaughn may begin filming Kingsman 3 as soon as this year, right after he's finished editing his prequel, The Great Game. Launched in 2015, the Kingsman movies are based on Dave Gibbons and Mark Millar's The Secret Service comic books, and follow the adventures of a British spy organization known as Kingsman. Vaughn's first two Kingsman films were quite lucrative and grossed a combined $825 million at the global box office. As a result, the franchise is being expanded with an upcoming prequel and sequel (both of which are being directed by Vaughn), in addition to a potential TV show and more spinoffs down the line.

Taron Egerton starred in the first two Kingsman movies as Gary "Eggsy" Unwin, an anti-authoritative young man who's recruited for the Kingsman by Agent Harry Hart (Colin Firth). Eggsy and Harry have served as the core of the series so far and will return in the as-yet untitled third installment, following the release of the in-production Great Game. Vaughn doesn't intend to take much of a break between Kingsman adventures, either, and is already looking ahead to the start of shooting on the next sequel.

'John Wick - Chapter 3' Review: An Action Franchise As Unstoppable As Its Namesake

Think of your favorite action movie franchise with at least three entries, and then be honest with yourself. Odds are, whichever franchise you’re picturing, those first three films have been more than a little inconsistent. Lethal Weapon 3 leans too comedic, Die Hard 2: Die Harder is tonally all over the place, Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome is a cartoonish dud, Mission: Impossible 2 is ridiculous for the wrong reasons — these are facts. (Subjective facts, but still…) The only exceptions to the rule are the Bourne trilogy and the first four (!) films in Jackie Chan’s Police Story film series. Well, they were the only exceptions.

John Wick: Chapter 3 not only picks up immediately after the ending of its predecessor, but it also maintains and delivers the same fantastically high degree of carnage, momentum, and beautifully kick-ass style. It’s a two-hour blast of adrenaline and awe that revisits old characters, introduces new ones, and continues to expand its world in electrifying ways. There are some bumps, to be sure, but they take a back seat to personality, wonder, and throat-crushing glee.

10 steps on How to stop being annoyed by life

Do you get easily annoyed? At times, does that emotion quickly escalate to anger? You are not alone.

You shouldn't live with it, though.
Beyond improvements to your general mood and happiness, taming your anger can have important benefits to your health. Constant stress and aggravation is linked to a range of issues including overeating, insomnia and depression, and angry outbursts increase the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
Despite how common it is for us humans to become annoyed and angry -- from road rage to air rage and work frustrations to parenting -- there are few easy solutions. Maybe we've just accepted outsize irritation as a part of life, or maybe simple answers are antithetical to a problem that can be ingrained.
Easily getting bent out of shape, even angry, is my problem, too. It was happening more than I wanted and was cumulatively stressing me out, which is why, a couple of years ago, I set a goal to come up with an easy system, based on sound psychology, that I could employ in moments of annoyance.
Anger "is like a blazing flame that burns up our self-control," the Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh wrote. I aimed to teach myself how to rob it of oxygen and snuff it out.
"We all have a 'fight or flight' trigger," explained Dr. Mark Crawford, a clinical psychologist. "It is adaptive. Some of us have a more sensitive one than others. However, the good news is that we can almost 'reprogram' this by techniques like breathing and particularly mindfulness meditation."
For me, that reprogamming was best achieved by gaining perspective.

Below are the 10 simple steps I use to give perspective to, and gain distance from, unbridled irritation and anger. Employing them has significantly reduced the number of instances in which I get irritated, or at least has shortened their duration.
It's important to note that these are progressive steps. I rarely need to escalate through all 10.
Many smaller annoyances (someone cutting in line, traffic jam, kids not listening) can be tackled with just the first step. Others (unfair parking ticket, public rudeness) may send you halfway up the steps. And bigger situations (a blow-up with a family member, being denied a promotion at work) may require the collective effort of them all before it is defused.
You may also find it more effective to change the order, or a step itself.

Drug extends life of younger women with advanced breast cancer, study says

Younger women suffering from a common form of advanced breast cancer have experienced significantly improved survival rates when treated with a drug that targets cancer cells, according to the findings of an international clinical trial.

The study was conducted among 672 women under the age of 59 who received a drug called palbociclib, in combination with a common form of hormone therapy.
Seventy percent of the women who took the combination therapy were alive after 42 months according to the findings, compared to 46% for women who were treated with only the hormone therapy and a placebo.
This, the researchers said, corresponded to a 29% lower risk of death in patients receiving the combination therapy.
The results were presented at the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology in Chicago Saturday and will be published Tuesday in the New England Journal of Medicine.
The study is the first to show a significant benefit in survival for premenopausal women with metastatic hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer, according to lead author Dr. Sara Hurvitz, who directs the Breast Cancer Clinical Research Program at the UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center.
