The Six Categories Of Anti-Muslim Hate Deniers [Infographic]

by

Today, we're very happy to share with you guys this fun infographic/comic strip, where the anti-Muslims deniers have been categorised in a humoristic way, compliments of our friends at TellMaMa.UK.

"Meet the (i) aggressive denier (ii) the mosque building denier (iii) the passive aggressive denier (iv) the ‘laissez-faire’ denier (v) the peaceful co-existence denier and (vi) the ‘head in the sand’ deniers." 
I couldn't but notice that some of the Far Right peeps that I usually "meet" on Twitter seem to belong to more than one category... Perhaps I should ask them which category they believe they are in? Hmm... on second thought, better not. Last time I made fun of them, I got mass reported by the humorless morons and got my account suspended for almost an hour. (They're a touchy lot those Islamophobes, aren't they?)

Anyway, enjoy!

Dead Space 3: The Best Title In The Series

by

Let me give you a quick glance at the gameplay before we get on with the review, imagine that you are low on ammunition and your health indicator is dangerously red. There are more number of enemies than you expected and they have forced you to track your way in to a corner. What would you do, would you go all out with guns blazing, hoping that somehow you will hit all enemies with perfect lethal shots and emerge victorious? No, instead you and your partner improvise. Yes, you are not alone and that’s one of the strengths of this game. You and your partner work in collaboration and use your kinesis abilities to impale the enemies with their own limbs. You romp their corpses and then salvage to reload for the next battle.

Its moments like these that help the dead space 3 emerge as the clear winner amongst the most exciting games for PC in the year 2014.

UK: Hope From The Floods

by

Dear friends,

David Cameron is reacting with short term fixes as our country suffers the worst floods in 200 years. But together we can get him to face down the climate deniers, and agree a way to stop disastrous deluges happening more and more often. 
Energy Secretary Ed Davey just warned that fringes of the Tory Party and UKIP are trying everything to trash the scientific and political consensus on climate change. These guys have their heads in a sandbag: leading scientists agree these floods are climate-related. Their nutty attacks are dangerously timed -- right now, Europe is setting joint long-term goals to cut carbon pollution. And only if the EU sets the right benchmark can we get the rest of the world to aim high.

At this time of national crisis, David Cameron is looking for ways to show voters he’s a strong leader, but he’s refusing to step up on long-term targets. Let’s build a massive national outcry to remind him of his promise to lead the “greenest government ever”. Sign the petition to get the strong climate targets we need to make our country safe and forward this widely -- for every 10,000 signers we’ll send a sandbag filled with names to No.10:

The History of Germs [Infographic]

by

Essentially, bacteria was the first type of life to form on planet Earth, which is why advancing in technology to help understand bacteria and germs is so important today. Germs have technically been around for more than 3,500 million years, and were only first recognized in the 1670s, when Atnon van Leeuwenhoek first began looking at different microorganisms underneath a microscope. Understanding germs and bacteria today allows us to move forward with vaccines, cures and medicine to boost our immune systems and to increase our overall lifespan.

Types of Germs
There are four types of germs that are categorized individually. Bacteria is considered single-cell creatures, which often require a microscope to view. Bacteria lurks just about everywhere on the planet, ranging from the air, water, soil and even on the human body. It is possible to find bacteria on nearly all surfaces and spaces of the earth with a microscope.

A virus is another type of germ which requires a host to survive and continue on. Viruses are capable of reproducing and growing on their own with the right host and amount of food. Viruses live within a the actual cell of an animal, human being or even a living plant.

Fungi is another type of germ that lives off of plants and animals. It is made up of a number of cells. Additionally, protozoa is the final type of germ, which is extraordinary small, similar to bacteria itself. There are more than 20,000 different types of protozoa known to man today. Protozoa can be found in ponds, rivers, lakes, oceans and any type of body of water.

Deadliest Germs
Some of the deadliest germs still exist on earth today, which is why hygiene and being proactive with your health is essential to avoid them. E Coli is one of the most deadliest germs that is found just about everywhere. It is pathogens that trigger deadly diseases and illnesses in humans, which can ultimately be fatal.

Salmonella is another deadly germ that has the ability to take two forms. One of the forms of salmonella, typhi, triggers thypoid fever in its human host, responsible for more than 216,000 deaths a year.

Tetanus is another deadly germ which is dirt carrying spores which can lead to sickness and is potentially fatal. Streptococcus is another germ that is responsible for a large number of deaths due to pneumonia and meningitis.
