CHINESE WEATHER GIRL DOESN'T SEEM TO HAVE AGED A DAY IN 22 YEARS
A Chinese TV presenter has become an internet sensation as she hasn't aged a day despite having been on screen for more than a two decades. Yang Dan, a weather girl from China's state broadcaster, looks no different today than her 22-year-old self in her first in her first show in 1996.
Incredibly youthful Ms Yang, who is now 44 years old, has been hailed as an 'ageless goddess' after a compilation video of her was shared online by the China Central Television Station.The video was posted onto Weibo, the Chinese equivalent to Twitter, by the weather programme in order to mark the International Women's Day yesterday.
Its amazing how Chinese manage to look alike and not age. Its shocking how young she looks and if it were not published by Daily Mail, It would have been hard to believe that the pictures and videos where actually from the stated years. I am actually jealous of her to be able to look young without having to go through painful and expensive surgeries.

'BLACK PANTHER' MAKERS HAVE IDEAS FOR SEPUAL
News on the Black Panther sequel! Marvel studios boss Kevin Feige mentioned something about 'Black Panther 2' and that it may hit the screens in February. Feige , the 44 year old , was asked to reveal some information or ideas on the 'Black Panther 2' and he mentioned that "Nothing specific to reveal, other than to say we absolutely will do that.''
"One of the favourite pastimes at Marvel Studios is sitting around on a part One and talking and dreaming about what we would do in a part two. There have been plenty of those conversations as we were putting together the first 'Black Panther'. We have ideas and a pretty solid direction on where we want to head with the second one," he added.
'Black Panther' is among the first films by the house of Marvel Studio which predominantly has a black cast and also shows a number of strong women of substance who work as the protagonist T'Challa's allies
I for one am excited for the second movie ut I just hope this time they will use more South Africans than they have chosen, I actually didn't see much of Athandwa Kani. I was also disappointed by the use of isiXhosa since most of he characters weren't even that good, I know they tried to make it South African but we have many languages that they could have chosen from, for example isiZulu, since it does not have the most difficult words to pronounce but putting that aside, It was an amazing movie.

RICK ROSS BACK IN ACTION , TAKES DAUGHTER ON SHOPPING SPREE.
A picture of Rick Ross showing his full recovery swing after 8 days when He was rushed to a hospital. He was kicking it with Elmo and his daughters during a Miami-area shopping spree.
Rick cradled his baby girl, Berkley, on Friday while he was cruised around the Bal Harbour Shops. The baby's mama, Brian Camille, and Rick's older daughter, Toie, were also along for the fun. Rick's looking good after 4 days of being hospitalised.
Rick was hospitalised after he fell unconscious and woke up "slobbing at the mouth." He was treated in ICU, before getting released on Monday.
Toie's sixteenth birthday had to be postponed due to his health crisis. It seems as if Rick is making up for lost time to his girls. During the two hour shopping adventure, Elmo was there to entertain Berkley, and Toie got a trip to Gucci.
I was really horrified when I heard about the news that one of my favourite rappers fell sick and was admitted in ICU. It is more than great news to know that he recovered and that even tough he has not been recovered much he managed to make time for his family. It just proves that he is such an amazing person and father rather than being best as a rapper and I really am hoping that he gets better.

INXEBA TO RETURN TO CINEMA ON FRIDAY FOLLOWING COURT RULING
Inxeba (the wound) has been 'unbanned' by a Pretoria High Court Order and will be back on mainstream cinema screens again from Friday, 9 March.
This is the result of High Court Order granted on Tuesday after the urgent application brought by Webber Wentzel on behalf of the film's producers and distributors to reverse the x18 rating and enables the film to return to the public domain and be relieved of its imprisonment in sex shops as pornography.
In the court application, Webber Wentzel on behalf of their clients requested a review of the decision of the Film and Publication Board's (FPB) Appeal Tribunal which awarded Inxeba a rating of X18SNVLP overturning the FBP rating of 16LS , essentially classifying the film as hardcore pornography. The urgent application also sought an urgent interim Court Order allowing thafilm to be screened in the mainstream cinemas for the first time since its innitial commercial release on 2 February, which was followed by the ''effective banning'' of the film by the Appeals Tribunal ten days later, pending review.
I can't hide the fact that I was satisfied when the banning of the film took place , since I was 100% against it, part of the fact that growing up it was stressed to never say a word of what happened eNtabeni. I am not happy still to actually find out that the movie is going to continue to be shown in cinema as this will expose what was once sacred.

THE EMOJI MOVIE NAMED THE WORST PICTURE AT THE RAZZIES
The Emoji Movie has been hailed as the worst picture of 2017 at the Golden Raspberry Awards also known as the Razzies, making it to earn the top dishonour.
''Leading this year's list of movie-msfires is the emoticon-based, talking poop opus,'' the Razzies said in a statement announcing the recipients, saying the film came in a year when "Hollywood's recycled trash heap attained an all-time high'' and saw a ''toxic-level lack of originality''.
The Emoji movie landed four of the 10 Razzies given out this year, also taking worst screenplay, worst director, and worst screen combo, which was given to "any two obnoxious emoji" from the movie.
Honestly, I could care less of what the picture quality. I did not see any problems with the pictures of the movie since I was still shocked with the idea of coming with a movie of emoji's. I really did enjoy the movie.

LISTERIA OUTBREAK: SOUTH AFRICA BINS POLONY AND OTHER MEATS
Supermarkets in South Africa have been clearing a popular sausage from the shelves after it was blamed for a food poisoning outbreak behind 180 deaths. The government identified the cold meat polony as the source of the listeria poisoning- but advised consumers to avoid all ready-to-eat processed meat. Customers have descended on the factories that made the polony, to demand a refund.
The outbreak was finally traced after infecting people for more than a year. It is believed to have originated in an Enterprise Food Factory in the Northern city of Polokwane. A plant owned by RLC Foods is also under suspicions. Both firms have suspended meat production.
There have been 948 cases reported of the listeria since January 2017, according to Reuters. The United Nations says it is believed to be the largest outbreak ever, worlwide. In some people, the disease, causes high temperature, vomiting, and diarrhoea. The elderly people with compromised immune systems, and babies- both in the womb and newborn- are particularly vulnerable.
I am shocked to find out that this has been going for a while now since last year and we know about it now. I feel like the number could have been reduced to a minimum if they would have acted the moment they had suspicions and run the tests after they have warned the supermarkets and customers. If they have done that I'm sure the solutions f stopping the disease and actions would have been taken

Ghanian teacher draws Microsoft Word on a blackboard.
Richard Appiah Akoto is a Ghanian teacher who faces a pretty discouraging dilemma.
His students need to pass a national exam that includes questions on information and communication technology (ICT) but the school hasn't had a computer since 2011. So, Akoto had an ingeniously simple idea: he drew computer features and software on his blackboard, using multi-coloured chalk.
''I wanted them to know or see how the window will appear if they were to be behind a computer,"Akoto told CNN. "Always wanted them to have interest in the subject so I always do my possible best for them."
Images of Akoto- who on social media uses the nickname "Owura Kwandwo Hottish"- drawing a diagram of Microsoft Word for his pupils at Betenase M/A Junior High School in the town of Sekyedomase went viral after he posted them on Facebook.
This, for me, shows the dedication that most teachers have in these dark days. I hope this will persuade the government to actually do something about the lack of resources and to support the work that they go through every day.
