Mum of Eight 'Killed by Her Addiction to Coca-Cola'

Natasha Harris, who died three years ago after a cardiac arrest, drank up to 10 litres of the fizzy drink each day.
This is twice the recommended safe limit of caffeine and more than 11 times the recommended sugar intake.

Her family said she had developed an addiction to Coca-Cola and would get withdrawal symptoms, including “the shakes”, if she went without her favourite drink.
She drank Coke throughout her waking hours and her teeth had ...

All the Oscar Winners in One Amazing Graphic

The list of Best Pictures at the Oscars is a long and illustrious one.

So to commemorate 85 years of handing out statues for the best film of the year, artist Olly Moss was tasked with making a poster by the Academy of Motions Picture Arts and Sciences.

Representing each Best Picture with a twist to the iconic art deco figure, Moss has encapsulated nearly a century in filmmaking.
Often witty, sometimes poignant, it's yet more fine work from Moss, who has previously reworked posters for everything from 'Blade Runner' to 'The Dark Knight Rises'.
The question is: can you name all the winners?

Tahadhari Kuhusu Kupandishwa Vyeo Kupitia Ujumbe wa Simu

Serikali inapenda kuufahamisha umma wa Watanzania kuwa hivi karibuni kumezuka kundi la Watu wadanganyifu ambao wamekuwa wakitumia majina ya viongozi waandamizi wa serikali na Taasisi nyeti ikiwemo Usalama wa Taifa kujipatia fedha kwa madai ya kutumwa na viongozi hao.

Watu hao wamekuwa wakituma ujumbe mfupi wa simu (SMS) kwa maofisa mbalimbali wa wizara, mashirika ya umma na Idara za Serikali zinazojitegemea kuomba pesa ili wawafanye mipango ya kupandishwa vyeo.
Utapeli huo umekuwepo nchini kwa kipindi kirefu sasa, ambapo watu huwapigia simu viongozi wa Taasisi za fedha, Mifuko ya Taasisi za Jamii na watu binafisi wakiomba fedha kwa madai ya kutumwa na viongozi waandamizi Serikalini wakati si kweli.

Watu hao wamekuwa wakiwatapeli maofisa mbalimbali kuwa wanaweza kuwafanyia mipango ya kupandishwa vyeo endapo watawapatia kiasi cha fedha jambo ambalo halipo katika taratibu za utumishi wa umma.

Utumishi wa umma unazo taratibu zake za kuwapandisha vyeo watumishi wake kulingana na sifa za kada zao na wala haiwezekani kwa viongozi waandamizi kuwachangisha fedha kwa ajili ya kuwapandisha vyeo. Serikali inawataka wananchi kuwapuuza matapeli hao na watoe taarifa katika vyombo vya dola na usalama mara wapatapo ujumbe wa aina hiyo ili hatua zichukuliwe dhidi yao.
