The simple mistake you're making every day when washing your face that is DESTROYING your skin

Cleansing your face morning and night is the most basic part of any skincare routine.

But if you're completing this task while in the shower - you're not doing your appearance any favours.

While many of us would assume that tilting our face upwards beneath refreshing running water is the key to getting squeaky clean skin, the heat and pressure of the water is in fact causing damage, skincare expert Kaye Scott told Daily Mail Australia. 

What to do instead: Instead, you should rinse your face at the sink cupping your hands with tepid water 

Nairobi residents get scare after six lions briefly slip out of city-adjacent national park

 

A team of wildlife rangers went out to find the lions 'prepared for anything' and return them to the park, but the lions were later spotted back in the park, having made their own way back.

NAIROBI, Kenya — Six lions walked out of Nairobi National Park and were roaming through parts of the city on Friday, scaring residents for a few hours before the big cats returned to the reserve.
The lions were first spotted at 4 a.m. near a hospital in the suburb of Langata, and later near Kibera, Kenya’s largest slum, said Kenya Wildlife Service spokesman Paul Udoto.
A team of wildlife rangers went out to find the lions “prepared for anything” and return them to the park, but the lions were later spotted back in the park, having made their own way back, Udoto said.
Nairobi National Park’s 117-square-kilometres is home to endangered black rhinos, lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas, buffaloes, giraffes and diverse birdlife. The animals roam just 10 kilometres from downtown Nairobi, which lies north of the park.
Occasionally lions will clash with people on the southern side, which is not fenced.
In 2012 six lions were killed after the pride of eight lions attacked and killed eight goats of Masaai herdsmen. Only about 2,000 lions are left in Kenya; the devastating effect of years of hunting and then poaching.
The government has announced plans to build a railway that will traverse part of the reserve. Conservationists have opposed the railway line, saying it will further damage wildlife habitat.

Good Morning Britain weather girl Laura Tobin left her co-stars and viewers speechless after she accidentally ripped a 'rare' superhero poster worth £150,000 live on air. 

The 34-year-old breakfast host donned a pair of white protective gloves to present a picture of The Replicator when the 'mishap' occurred. 

After a tense pause and panicked calls to go to an advert, Laura revealed that the whole thing was actually a hilarious prank.

To mark the start of comic book and sci-fi festival Comic Con, Laura was tasked with showcasing rare magazines and expensive memorabilia.

Setting up the skit, Laura informed the audience: 'We've got a very special display here called The Replicator Man. 

'Now, this was a character back in the 70s. This is a special poster that is worth about £150,000 and there's only ten of them in the world.'

Rather haphazardly handling the image, Laura continued: 'So here we go. No one's really seen this before.

Facebook, Google, and Twitter support Apple in its war with the FBI

Apple is going to war with the FBI.

The bureau wants the Cupertino, California, tech company to help it unlock an iPhone belonging to one of the San Bernardino shooters. But Apple refuses, arguing that doing so would set a dangerous precedent and make all its users less safe.

Battle lines are being drawn. On one side, those who argue that Apple has a duty to aid law enforcement in any way it can, and on the other, those who fear that the case risks setting a dangerous precedent — that companies can be forced to hack their users.

Here's what the tech industry is saying:

Manny Pacquiao, after being dropped by Nike, posts Bible verse that says men who have sex with men ‘are to be put to death’

Following up on his belief that people in same-sex relationships are “worse than animals,” Manny Pacquiao reportedly quoted a bible verse on Instagram that says two men who have sex with each other “are to be put to death."

The boxer — who was dropped by Nike on Wednesday — posted, then deleted, Leviticus 20:13, according to ABS CBN News, writing “If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.”

The post had more than 18,000 likes and was up for roughly two hours before it was deleted, ABS CBN reported. It also said that Pacquiao denied quoting the verse in 2012, stating that he had a gay relative but was against same-sex marriage because it is the word of God.

Pacquiao also quoted another verse in the deleted post that seemingly was directed at criticism he’s received for his views.

Quoting Luke 6:22-23, he wrote “Blessed are you when people hate you, when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil, because of the Son Of Man. … Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For that is how their ancestors treated the prophets.”

what Google's CEO just said about Apple's battle with the FBI

Google CEO Sundar Pichai just weighed in on Apple's battle with the FBI, which has ordered Apple to help it unlock the phone of one of the shooters who killed 14 people in San Bernardino, California, last year in an apparent terrorist act.

In a series of tweets, Pichai wrote that although Google gives "law enforcement access to data based on valid legal orders," that is "wholly different than requiring companies to enable hacking of customer devices and data," which could set a "troubling precedent."

Apple is fighting the court order mandating that it help the FBI unlock an iPhone that belonged to one of the shooters by creating software that would allow the intelligence agency to have an unlimited number of attempts to enter the phone's passcode before it auto-wipes.

CEO Tim Cook of Apple responded on Wednesday by calling it a "chilling" demand that "would undermine the very freedoms and liberty our government is meant to protect." He's arguing that to help the FBI unlock the phone would basically be providing a dangerous "master key" and that the agency is essentially "asking Apple to hack our own users."

So Pichai's stance is, basically, we support Apple — we will give law enforcement data when we need to, but we will not put in a "backdoor" for the government.

Here's his full response:
