  File photo used for illustrative purpose Losing just a couple hours of sleep at night makes you angrier, especially in frustrating situations, according to new Iowa State University research. While the results may seem intuitive, the study is one of the first to provide evidence that sleep loss causes anger. Other studies have shown a link between sleep and anger, but questions remained about whether sleep loss was to blame or if anger was responsible for disrupted sleep, said Zlatan Krizan, professor of psychology at Iowa State. The research, published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, answers those questions and provides new insight on our ability to adjust to irritating conditions when tired. “Despite typical tendencies to get somewhat used to irritating conditions – an uncomfortable shirt or a barking dog – sleep-restricted individuals actually showed a trend toward increased anger and distress, essentially reversing their ability to adap

THE world's biggest cow will be saved from the chop after its 6ft 4in frame is too big to fit into abattoir, a farmer revealed. Knickers, a seven-year-old Holstein Friesian, is more than twice the size of the rest of the cows in Myalup, Western Australia. Holstein-Friesians are a dairy breed and normally weigh in at about 1,500 pounds and stand about 4ft 1oins tall. Even the breed's bulls only reach just 5ft 10ins and weigh 2,200lbs. Butchers say the giant would produce around 1,400 lbs of trimmed "saleable" beef  - enough for 450 cuts of steak and 370kg of mince. The bovine behemoth stands head and shoulders above other farm beasts and weighs in at an incredible 1.4 tonnes (3,083lbs). Owner Geoff Pearson - whose beast is the biggest of its breed in Australia - said:  "It was too heavy. I wouldn’t be able to put it through a processing facility. "So I think it will just live happily ever after." The beast cost owners £225 and

Godswill Akpabio, Senator representing Akwa Ibom North West at the Senate, has rejected claims that he is responsible for the crisis bedeviling the State. POLITICS TIMES had reported how Mr Akpabio, a former governor of the state, was accused by his successor and incumbent governor, Udom Emmanuel, of masterminding the fracas going on at the state House of Assembly. The former governor until months back when he defected to the All Progressive Congress (APC), was a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). While at the PDP, he was appointed commissioner, thereafter elected governor who served out his two term and headed for the Senate still on the party’s platform. Accusing his predecessor, Mr Emmanuel said Akpabio and his party were out to disrupt the peace being enjoyed in the state since he took over. Messrs Emmanuel and Akpabio fell out politically after the former took over as governor. “The mastermind of this crises include, people that this state gave the opportun

Udom Emmanuel, governor of Akwa Ibom State, has accused his predecessor, Godswill Akpabio, of being among the mastermind of the crises recently witnessed in the State. Mr Emmanuel made the accusation after disrupting alleged moves by some lawmakers of the state who belonged to the All Progressive Congress (APC) to impeach him. The position of the governor confirms an earlier position held by a young lawyer from the state wherein the legal practitioner noted that the recent development at the State House of Assembly was in the interest of the people. Trouble started last week when Onofiok Luke, Speaker of the Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly (AKHA) declared the seats of some legislators vacant while banking on a court order from a High Court in the State. The declaration led to a protest by alleged supporters of the APC lawmakers who were barred from the assembly complex while an appeal of the judgment had been filed at the Court of Appeal. When the speaker and his colleague

The Speaker of the five member faction of the Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly, Hon.

Nse Ntuen, explained that the five factional state lawmakers which he was the Speaker have a hitch-free plenary on Tuesday before the governor, some of his aides and thugs invaded the Assembly. He said: “We had a plenary successfully today and adjourned sitting till another legislative day and as we are about leaving the Assembly complex, we, saw the governor coming with thugs who were fully armed.” “Some were armed with guns and cutlass. The impeached Speaker was among them and they were making calls.” “As the new Speaker, I was with the five members and we have our motions. ” “The decision of the House today was that the impeached Speaker and eleven other members re

However, a judge has sided with Tyrese, ruling that there are limits when it comes to his ex-wife demanding he cover childcare costs especially if her activities aren’t work-related. Documents obtained by TMZ show that the judge ruled Norma Gibson can’t expect Tyrese to pay for babysitters to watch their 11-year-old daughter, Shayla if she (Norma) is running “non-work errands” or running her household. This is coming after reports that Tyrese was pissed about childcare bills Norma was running up. Norma had admitted that she was “living life” when she was asked what she did on the 21st of August after taking up seven hours of childcare bills.  Tyrese was also upset that, in his view, she wasn’t making an effort to get a s
