Toxicology tests suggest a German former nurse murdered at least 100 people at two hospitals where he worked, prosecutors say. Detectives believe Niels Hoegel, who is already serving a life sentence for two murders, systematically administered fatal doses of heart medication to people in his care. He wanted to impress colleagues by resuscitating them but many died. Fresh charges against him are expected next year. Hoegel is now said to have killed 38 patients in Oldenburg and 62 in Delmenhorst, both in northern Germany, between 1999 and 2005. Investigators say he may have killed more but potential victims have been cremated. If found guilty of all the deaths, he would become one of Germany's worst post-war serial killers. The investigation into Hoegel was widened when he admitted killing up to 30 people during his 2015 trial, when he was convicted of two murders, two attempted murders and harming patients. Investigators exhumed 130 former patients, looking for traces of medication...

“Hugh M. Hefner, the American icon who in 1953 introduced the world to  Playboy magazine and built the company into one of the most recognizable American global brands in history, peacefully passed away today from natural causes at his home, The Playboy Mansion, surrounded by loved ones,” a rep for the Playboy Enterprises founder said in a statement to PEOPLE. “My father lived an exceptional and impactful life as a media and cultural pioneer and a leading voice behind some of the most significant social and cultural movements of our time in advocating free speech, civil rights and sexual freedom.

(CNN)At least 38 people were killed and 13 others injured in northern Haiti after a bus plowed into a festival crowd before dawn Sunday, in what local authorities said was a hit and run incident. The bus, owned by the transportation company Blue Sky Logistics, was carrying people from the northern Haitian city of Cap Haitien to the nation's capital, Port Au Prince. The bus encountered streets crowded with revelers celebrating Rara, a popular festive season in Haiti that stretches from Mardi Gras until Easter Sunday. Just outside the city of Gonaives, the bus struck two pedestrians, one of whom died instantly. The bus driver continued on for several miles before encountering a Rara band playing music in the middle of the road. The bus plowed through the first group of musicians, then drove through a second and a third band. The driver fled the scene on foot and is still at large, police said. Authorities are actively searching for him. According to one eyewitness, people were still ...

 Unhealthy environments are responsible for one-quarter of young child deaths, according to two new reports from the United Nations health agency, which reviewed the threats from pollutants such as second-hand smoke, UV radiation, unsafe water and e-waste. According to the latest information, polluted environments take the lives of 1.7 million children under the age of five. “A polluted environment is a deadly one – particularly for young children,” said Margaret Chan, Director-General of the UN World Health Organization (WHO). “Their developing organs and immune systems, and smaller bodies and airways, make them especially vulnerable to dirty air and water.” In one of the two reports, Inheriting a Sustainable World: Atlas on Children's Health and the Environment , WHO announced that many of the common causes of death among children aged between one month and five years of age are preventable with safe water and clear cooking fuels. These include diarrhoea, malaria and pneumonia. T...

A time to be born and a time to die,  A time to smile and a time to cry,  A time to speak and a time to be quiet,  A time to embrace and a time to chasten,  A time to gather and a time to scatter,  A time to whisper and a time to shout,  A time to rise and a time to fall, A time to see and a time be blind,  A time to listen and a time to be dumb,  A time to sing and a time to weep,  A time to eat and a time to fast,  A time to work and a time to rest,  A time to sow and a time to reap,  A time to  love and a time to hate,  A time to act and a time to watch,  A time to give and a time to take, A time to move and a time to stop, A time to sit and a time to stand, A time to crawl and a time to run, A time for all and a time for none. Life itself is time, we live according to it and effects are taken on our lives based on how attention is given to time. We all get to make choices at one point in time, making that ri...

What makes life so worth living is the reality of death in it(life). Death in life, life after death. There is death here on earth and everything that lives will surely die according to the scientists, for that the major characteristic of life. Today, I write not to tell you about death here on earth for I believe every reasonable being should know its appointed to Man to die, even though we have heard of so many people who have gone round the world searching for a way to live forever, well I hope they find that which is not lost. I write these beautiful morning to tell you how important what men say at your tomb stone is, for there is a life after death. I quote the great teacher in the scripture St. John 11: 25-26 "Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life:he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believeth thou this? Here the preacher is informing the woman whom He addresses about a ...

Have you ever come across the story of the rich farmer who has a barn full of yams, and already it was time for another harvest. Waooooo, great! Isn't it? I can't just imagine how rich the man would be. So, instead of the rich man to give out is previous harvest to the poor, he was amazed at his wealth and was enveloped in it, then he told his servants to tear down the old barn and build a bigger one so as to hold the new harvest in it. Well it did happen and he had his harvest and his barn was filled to the brim again. Can you imagine the joy he could have felt? But, that night the Creator said to him "I shall take your life this moment" and all your riches shall be scattered and your name forgotten". The sun speaks to us daily, no matter how beautiful or shining it may be in the day, it will surely go dark. So, what do you want your own sun to be remembered for? How many clothes did you dry up, how many bodies did you burn? Live so as to be remembered after yo...
