As Germans kicked off their annual Carnival celebration Monday with huge parades, Donald Trump was right there with them — well, his head was, at least. The city of Düsseldorf's parade featured a massive papier mâché bust of the Republican presidential candidate atop a float.
The float depicts Trump crying over his recent defeat in the Iowa caucuses while simultaneously yelling at the Statue of Liberty, who is sticking her tongue out at him. Trump's campaign slogan is reimagined and painted on his infamous hair: "Make fascism great again."
Trump wasn't the only one lampooned atop a float. Caricatures of German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and even the company Amazon also rode through the streets Monday.

There is trouble in Hillaryland: According to anonymous sources who spoke with Politico, Hillary Clinton is frustrated with her campaign staff — and vice versa. With the too-close-for-comfort win over Bernie Sanders in Iowa and a New Hampshire victory for the Vermont senator on the horizon, Clinton is reportedly looking to reassess the staff at her Brooklyn headquarters sooner rather than later.

One source who is close with both Hillary and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, said, "The Clintons are not happy, and have been letting all of us know that. The idea is that we need a more forward-looking message, for the primary — but also for the general election too… There's no sense of panic, but there is an urgency to fix these problems right now."

There is dissatisfaction among Clinton's staffers, too:

Over the summer while her campaign was bogged down in the email controversy, Clinton was deeply frustrated with her own staff, and vice versa. The candidate blamed her team for not getting her out of the mess quickly, and her team blamed Clinton for being stubbornly unwilling to take the advice of campaign chairman John Podesta and others to apologize, turn over her server, and move on. The entire experience made her a deeply vulnerable frontrunner out of the gate, and underscored a lack of trust between Clinton and her operatives, many of whom were former Obama staffers that she didn't consider part of her inner circle of trust.

Her advisers were also frustrated by having to play roles they hadn't been hired for and were ill-suited for. From the beginning, [the campaign's top pollster and strategist Joel] Benenson was frustrated that he was forced to split his time between defending his boss on emails and defining a path for her candidacy. Clinton, meanwhile, longed for a chief strategist in the Mark Penn mold who could take on a more expansive role than playing

Ben Stiller stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to share an “unaired” Super Bowl commercial he shot for Female Viagra. Ben first addressed the problem some women are facing today saying, “The thing is, even though zero women suffer from erectile disfunction, over 98 percent of women over 30 suffer from another condition called, ‘Not being turned on by their husband anymore.’”

And while the imaginary drug might seem like a cure-all for some, Stiller did issue some warnings, “Ask your doctor if you’re mentally prepared to see your husband without his shirt on.

Mom always said to wear clean underwear for a good reason, right? That way, no one lands in the hospital while wearing a mortified expression in addition to howling in unbearable pain. Never mind that anyone in the hospital has greater concerns than underwear pride, but the warning gets nonetheless repeated across generations. Moms, so embarrassing. Salma Hayek’s Snake Phobia And Other Facts About ‘From Dusk Till Dawn’

Salma Hayek learned the meaning of the word “embarrassing” when she endured an on-set injury. Hayek never revealed the movie she’s filming, but she’s still sort of working on a film called Sausage Party. Nahh, that movie is actually an animated children’s film starring Seth Rogen and James Franco. Those two would delight in such a movie title, but Hayek must be up to something else.

Whatever the case, Hayek suffered what she described as “a minor head injury.” She rushed to the emergency room without changing shirts, but her noggin was a-okay. So, she felt well enough to pose with some doctors who looked thrilled in this Instagram picture. Boy, I wonder if their expressions have anything to do with Hayek’s wardrobe shirt?

I had to be rushed from set to the ER for a minor head injury. Unfortunately my wardrobe for the scene was completely inappropriate for the hospital. Thank you to doctors Foster and Ellspermann for taking such good care of me! And don't worry it didn't make me any crazier than I was! #hospital #emergency #doctors #nude #wardrobe Me tuvieron que llevar a emergencias por un golpe en la cabeza. Desgraciadamente el vestuario de la escena era completamente inapropiado para el hospital. Gracias a doctores Foster y Ellspermann por sus atenciones.

(Francisco Osorio/Flickr) Your language shapes the way you approach your goals.

The way you speak not only affects how others perceive you; it also has the potential to shape your behavior.

Swapping one word for another could make all the difference in how you approach your goals.

That's according to Bernard Roth, a professor of engineering at Stanford and the academic director of Stanford's Hasso Plattner Institute of Design (the d.school).

In his new book, "The Achievement Habit," Roth suggests several linguistic tweaks that can make you more successful. Here are two of the easiest:

You might be tempted to say, "I want to go to the movies, but I have work to do."

Instead, Roth suggests saying, "I want to go to the movies, and I have work to do."

He writes: "When you use the word but, you create a conflict (and sometimes a reason) for yourself that does not really exist." In other words, it's possible to go to the movies as well as do your work — you just need to find a solution.

Meanwhile, when you use the word and, "your brain gets to consider how it can deal with both parts of the sentence," Roth writes. Maybe you'll see a shorter movie; maybe you'll delegate some of your work.

2. Swap "have to" for "want to."

Roth recommends a simple exercise: The next few times you say "I have to" in your mind, change have to want.

"This exercise is very effective in getting people to realize that what they do in their lives — even the things they find unpleasant — are in fact what they have chosen," he says.

For example, one of Roth's students felt he had to take the math courses required for his graduate program, even though he hated them. At some point after completing the exercise, he realized that he really did want to take the classes because the benefit of completing the requirement outweighed the discomfort of sitting through classes he didn't enjoy.

Both of these tweaks are based on a key component of a problem-solving strategy called "design thinking." When you employ this strategy, you try to challenge your automatic thinking and see things as they really are.

And when you experiment with different language, you may realize that a problem isn't as unsolvable as it seems, and that you have more control over your life than you previously believed.

Raw: Dog Rescued From Rubble After Taiwan Quake

TAINAN, Taiwan (AP) — Rescuers were searching late Saturday for more than 100 people still missing after a powerful, shallow earthquake struck southern Taiwan before dawn, causing a high-rise residential building to collapse and killing at least 14 people.

Nearly 340 people were rescued from the rubble in Tainan, the city hit worst by the quake. About 2,000 firefighters and soldiers scrambled with ladders, cranes and other equipment to the ruins of the 17-floor residential building, which folded like an accordion onto its side after the quake struck.
The spectacular fall of the building immediately raised questions about its construction, and Taiwan's interior minister said there would be an investigation.

Local authorities said Saturday night that more than 100 people remained missing and that rescuers were racing to find them. Taiwan's official Central News Agency reported that 172 people were missing.

Rescuer Jian Zhengshun said the rescue work was difficult because part of the high-rise building was believed to be buried underground, with the quake loosening the earth. He said rescuers had to clear rubble for passages to reach people who were trapped.
Hundreds of people were injured in the quake, but most of them had been released from hospitals by Saturday night.

The quake came two days before the start of Lunar New Year celebrations that mark the most important family holiday in the Chinese calendar. The collapsed building had 256 registered residents, but far more people could have been inside when it fell because the population might have swelled ahead of the holiday, when families typically host guests.

Local media said the building included a care center for newborns and mothers, and a newborn was among those confirmed dead in the disaster.

Most people were asleep when the magnitude-6.4 earthquake hit at about 4 a.m., 22 miles (35 kilometers) southeast of Yujing. It struck only 6 miles (10 kilometers) underground, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. Shallow earthquakes generally cause more damage than deeper ones.

Tainan resident Lin Bao-gui, a secondhand car salesman whose cars were smashed when the building collapsed across the street from him, said his house first started "shaking horizontally, then up and down, then a big shake right to left."
"I stayed in my bed but jumped up when I heard a big bang, which was the sound of the building falling," he said.
Authorities in Tainan said that of the 14 people killed in the quake, 11 were found at the ruins of the fallen building.
Rescuers found the bodies of a 10-day-old infant, three other children and six adults at the collapsed building, Taiwan's emergency management information center said. One other death was reported at the site, but details were not immediately available.
Authorities said two people were killed by falling objects elsewhere in Tainan. No details were available on the 14th death, reported Saturday night.

Rescuers pulled out at least 247 survivors from the collapsed building, the emergency management information center said. Throughout Tainan, 334 people were rescued, the city government said.

The information center said 477 people were injured, with 380 of them discharged from hospitals by Saturday evening.
The Taiwanese news website ET Today reported that a mother and daughter were among the survivors from the building, and that the girl drank her urine while waiting to be rescued, which happened sooner than expected.
Rescuers went apartment to apartment, drawing red circles near windows of apartments they already had searched.

"I went to the top floors of the middle part of the building, where we found five people, one of whom was in bed and already dead," said Liu Wen-bin, a rescuer from Taichung. "Some people were found in the shower, some in the bedroom."

Elsewhere in Tainan, dozens of other people were rescued or safely evacuated from damaged structures or buildings declared unsafe following the quake, including a market and a seven-floor building, authorities said. A bank building also careened, but no one was injured or trapped.

All told, nine buildings collapsed and five careened in Tainan, the emergency management information center said.

As dawn broke, Taiwanese TV showed survivors being brought gingerly from the high-rise, including an elderly woman in a neck brace and others wrapped in blankets. The trappings of daily life — a partially crushed air conditioner, pieces of a metal balcony, windows — lay twisted in rubble.

People with their arms around firefighters were being helped from the building, and cranes were being used to search darkened parts of the structure for survivors.

Men in camouflage, apparently military personnel, marched into one area of collapse carrying large shovels.

The emergency management information center said 1,236 rescuers from outside Tainan were deployed, including 840 from the army, along with six helicopters and 23 rescue dogs.

Tainan's municipal government said it mobilized nearly 600 professional and volunteer firefighters.

The quake was felt as a lengthy, rolling shake in the capital, Taipei, on the other side of the island. But Taipei was quiet, with no sense of emergency or obvious damage just before dawn.
Residents in mainland China also reported that the tremor was felt there. The Beijing government offered to help as needed.

Because of the collapse of the residential high-rise, questions surfaced about whether the 1989 structure had shoddy construction. Tainan's government said the building was not listed as a dangerous structure before the quake, and Taiwan's interior minister, Chen Wei-zen, said an investigation would examine whether the developer had cut corners during construction.

Earthquakes frequently rattle Taiwan, but most are minor and cause little or no damage. However, a magnitude-7.6 quake in central Taiwan in 1999 killed more than 2,300 people.

Peter Saunders, a British advocate for survivors, talks during an interview with the Associated Press in Rome, Saturday, Feb. 6, 2016. Pope Francis’ sex abuse advisory committee voted Saturday to temporarily sideline one of its members, a high-profile abuse survivor who had clashed with the commission over its mandate and mission. During a meeting of the commission Saturday, "it was decided that Mr. Peter Saunders would take a leave of absence from his membership to consider how he might best support the commission's work," the Vatican said in a statement.

VATICAN CITY (AP) -- Pope Francis' sex abuse advisory committee voted Saturday to sideline one of its members, a high-profile abuse survivor who had clashed with the commission over its mission.

Peter Saunders, a British advocate for victims, had been highly critical of the Vatican's slow pace of progress in taking measures to protect children and punish bishops who covered up for pedophile priests. He had also wanted the commission to intervene immediately in individual cases, rather than just craft long-term policies to fight abuse.

During a commission meeting Saturday, "it was decided that Mr. Peter Saunders would take a leave of absence from his membership to consider how he might best support the commission's work," the Vatican said.
The decision is a blow to Francis' efforts to show that he is tough on abuse, since the presence of Saunders and another abuse survivor, Marie Collins, had given the commission credibility.
In an interview with The Associated Press, Saunders said commission members, with one abstention, asked had him to step aside after concluding they could no longer trust him to work within the scope of the commission's mandate.
"I do not want to prevent the work of the commission, the good work that the commission is doing from going ahead, so I had no choice but to step aside," he said.
He said the Vatican's inaction in the face of continuing cases of children being raped and molested "made me lose faith in the process and lose faith in Pope Francis."
His departure leaves Collins as the lone abuse survivor on the commission, which was formed in 2013 to advise the Vatican on protecting children, educating church personnel and parishioners about abuse, and keeping pedophiles out of the priesthood.
Collins told the AP it was a "sad day" for the commission. She acknowledged Saunders' complaints about the pace of work but said the overall mission was still important.
"It is slow. It's not going to make changes overnight. And there are frustrations in that," she said. "But if we can change policy and get policies put in place that will stick around the world that will make children safer in the future, then it's worth making time to get it right."
The commission was formed after victims' groups questioned whether the Argentine pope, who had never dealt with an abuse case, really understood the scope of the scandal. But the commission took a big step last year when it successfully proposed that the Vatican create an in-house tribunal to hear cases of bishops accused of failing to protect their flocks.
The commission had been highly critical of Francis' decision to appoint a Chilean bishop despite allegations from abuse survivors that he had covered up for the country's most notorious pedophile, the Rev. Fernando Karadima.

One of Karadima's victims, Juan Carlos Cruz, joined Saunders on Saturday in Rome in hopes of speaking to the commission but was refused. Cruz had been proposed as a possible commission member but emails published in the Chilean media showed how the Chilean church hierarchy worked to keep him off the panel.

Liverpool announced Alex Teixeira’s price
Teixeira expressed his frustration
Liverpool has offered £24million for the Brazilian player. However, according to Shakhtar, Alex Teixeira’s release clause is £50 million.
Transfer Talk: Chelsea in Talks to Sign Brazilian Star For €40m Despite the desire of the player to leave the Ukranian club, Palkin said: “They offered €32 million (£24m) with a €4m (£3m) bonus. We obviously refused to accept it. Our position is that we do not want to sell Teixeira today.
We will sell only at the end of the season – we need to show serious results in Europa League and Ukrainian Championship. At the end of the season we will sit down at the negotiating table.His buyout clause is €70m. [Liverpool] can pay it now if they want. We don’t mind”.
And Klopp urges Liverpool fans to stand by the club’s decision not to pursue the forward.
Klopp said: “It’s very, very important that, yes, you can trust us. It was a common decision [on Teixeira]. We said, ‘We can’t play this game until the end’.”
The German coach added: “We made offers, I won’t say too much about that, but they were realistic, absolutely, with the premium of it being January, the Premier League, all the plusses you have when you make negotiations.
“But it was a case of, ‘If you don’t want it, OK, we can’t change the situation, both for now and the future’. It’s not that we haven’t got money or anything, but you have to work respectfully and responsibly. That’s what we do. “We will do things, for sure. Not in this window, but we will. It is like it is and it’s not you should buy and sell, buy and sell.”
He continued: “We have enough strikers, if they are all fit. So we have four strikers – although some are injured – plus Roberto [Firmino]. “If we were to find a solution in the offence that helps us not for three weeks, but three months or more, I would say OK.
“If we had, then we would’ve done it – but only for the right price, the normal price and not something else. The situation that we had wasn’t too easy but gave us the chance to show more faith and trust in young players than normal.”
Asisat Oshoala set for Arsenal Ladies move? In his interview Teixeira expressed his frustration: “The team received one official offer from the club. It was rejected. I don’t know why. It was a great offer.I am trying to leave but the manager and club president don’t want me to.
“So now I’m just waiting. Trying to be patient. There’s only been one offer, I don’t know how many millions, and Shakhtar rejected it. The club refused and I’m trying everything possible for them to accept so that I can go to Liverpool.”
Teixiera added: “I don’t know. It’s tough to answer that. I have tried everything to be able to leave the club – in a good way obviously. But the coach and the president don’t want me to, so I don’t know what to say for the moment.”
Speaking about Liverpool, he said: “Yes, it is a big club. So many great players have passed through there. It would be an honour to defend the Liverpool shirt. The way I play is always looking to score, so I think I could help in that respect.
“Together with the talented players they already have in the squad. I played with Coutinho when we were little, at the age of 10 or 11 years old. It would be an honour to play alongside him again. For me, [the Premier League] is the best league in the world and I want to experience that challenge in my career.”

Stella Damasus is angry with Ghanaian filmmaker
Leila Djansi uses derogatory words on Nollywood
Stella tries to put the records straight

Stella Damasus

Nollywood actress Stella Damasus is not happy with Ghanaian filmmaker Leila Djansi for daring to call Nollywood derogatory names.
In a documentary Jimmy Goes To Nollywood, Djansi had spoken ill about Nollywood in a very bad way. Leila Djansi had said that new film producers should not be put under the blanket of Nollywood as that would not help their reputation. She said the new producers should be called independent producers as Nollywood carries negative connotation. She had also said that the new producers aligning themselves with Nollywood was as bad as a mother naming her son Hitler.

Leila Djansi

In a video posted on her YouTube channel a visibly angry Damasus addressed these negative statements made by Djansi about the Nigerian film industry.
Damasus reminded Djansi of the role Nollywood had played in African film industry. She also reminded her that two of her movies were embraced because she paraded Nollywood actors. Not only that, she also reminded her that the best Ghollywood actors are products of Nollywood where they also ply their trade.

In his advice, Klopp disclosed that the kind of play in England is different from that of Spain, but Guardiola will enjoy it since he is a competitor.
“He will enjoy this league because it is a great league and a real competition and he is a real competitor – that is what he wants,” the Reds manager said.
“But I don’t think that it will be the same situation as he had in Spain, with Barcelona on the top level, or in Germany with Bayern on the top level.

“Manchester City is a club with not too bad possibilities on the financial side, shall we say (!), and Pep Guardiola is a really smart person — he won’t have chosen Man City because of his friendship with a few people there.
“So they won’t have the worst team in the world next year but I love this football because that doesn’t mean everything. As we have shown once or twice, you can beat these teams – that’s for sure.

Uti Nwachukwu and Kevin Spacey

At the just concluded Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards 2016, that took place on Sunday, January 31, American actor Kevin Spacey mocks God while trying to make a joke.
After bagging the award for Outstanding Performance for the role of a male actor in a drama series, Spacey while giving his acceptance speech said: “I will first like to thank our creator…no not that ONE” as he was pointing to the Heavens in order to make his audience know he wasn’t referring to God but his producers.
On hearing this, popular Nigerian TV host, actor and model got furious and blasted the Hollywood actor. Uti Nwachukwu took to his Instagram page to posting a video of Kevin Spacey with the caption:
I spoke with her an hour before she died- Bovi
“AND HE WENT ON TO THANK THE CREATORS OF THE SERIES…SMH. SO I WAS WATCHING THE S.A.G AWARDS AND I SAW THIS!!!! THE AUDACITY!!! I MEAN EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT A SPIRITUAL PERSON, WHY?!!!

Anjali Kumari and her brother Keshav Kumar suffer from an extremely rare disease
The disease casuses swollen faces, wrinkled skin, pain in joints and makes them look like pensioners
Their parents dream of a cure, but doctors say there is no treatment Keshav Kumar, 18 months, and his sister Anjali Kumari, 7, were born with a rare genetic disorder called cutis laxa and a form of progeria, that make them age rapidly and look 10 times their age.

The children have loose, wrinkled skin, swollen faces, they suffer from pain in their joints, have breathing issues and are prone to various infections.

Tiny Keshav Kumar, just 18 months old, grabs a handful of the sagging skin on his stomach in his little fist.

Even though local doctors claim there is no cure for the disorder Keshav and Alhaji’s parents hope that one day their children will be able to live a normal life.

Little Anjali said: “I know I’m different from others my age. I have a different kind of face, a different body, different everything. I have a swollen face while the rest of the world looks normal. People always stare at me and pass bad comments.

The children in school call me names like daadi Amma (grandmother), budhiya (old lady), bandariya (monkey), or hanuman (a Hindu monkey lord) and it annoys me. I want to be treated like a normal kid and I want to be accepted for who I am.

I really wish I could look as pretty as my sister. My parents hope that I will be okay one day but it makes me feel sad that my family suffer and feel embarrassed because of me. My only wish is for a cure. I want to live a long pain free life.”

Doctors believe that the children suffer from a rare disorder called Progeria, which is extremely unusual and also untreatable

Their desparate father Shatrughan said: “We dream there is a cure for my children. People in our community call them ‘old’ and it’s heartbreaking. We’ve tried to get help from our local doctors but they have told us our only hope is from overseas.

I just hope someone can give us some answers. I am helpless. I feel very sad that I do not know what to do to help my children. I see them ageing faster than me and there is nothing I can do about it. It breaks my heart. I am praying for a miracle.”

Anjali already experiences ailments usually suffered by pensioners.

The siblings more or less stable now but if the disease progresses it can also affect the internal organs. Their lungs, heart, intestines, or arteries may be affected with a variety of severe impairments; they could face heart attack, chest infections, arthritis and so on.
