Scientists working for the  social network  made users into lab rats for a week in January 2012, to see if meddling with the posts they saw when they logged in would change their emotions.

The Catalan giants want to snap up the Uruguayan, but are anxious to ensure that his biting days are behind him Reuters Digging their clause in: Barca don't want a repeat of this Luis Suarez could earn £40million playing for Barcelona - but only if he agrees to a special 'bite clause'. The Spanish side are offering the Liverpool striker a five-year deal worth £160,000 a week to move to the Nou Camp.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has strongly condemned the recent deadly terrorist attacks in Abuja and Bauchi that killed at least 37 people and injured many more, calling the Boko Haram group suspected to be behind the attacks despicable and inhuman in its misguided terror campaign.

In a statement issued in Lagos on Sunday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party repeated its earlier statement that nothing can justify the spilling of the blood of innocent citizens, while commiserating with the families of the victims. It called on the Federal Government to review its strategy for the fight against terrorism, saying whatever is being done now is definitely not working, hence the deadly terrorist attacks have almost become a daily affair.
