Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg and Beautiful Wife Celebrates 5th Wedding Anniversary

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla celebratE their 5th wedding anniversary today May 19th.
The couple have a daughter and expecting another child.
Mark took to his page this night shared on how they had surprised their family and friends with their wedding, as well as the one lesson he has learnt in marriage.
He wrote:
Today is Priscilla and my five year wedding anniversary, and I want to share a fun story about how it came together. Yesterday was the five year anniversary of Facebook’s IPO. Now you may ask, who would plan their wedding for the day after their IPO?
Good question. Priscilla and I wanted a low key wedding so we decided to make it a surprise and have it in our backyard. I sent our friends and family an email telling them I was throwing a surprise party for Priscilla to celebrate her graduation from medical school.
Since they thought it was a surprise for Priscilla, they kept it quiet. When they showed up at our home, I told them we were getting married. It was a great day.
One side effect of having a surprise wedding is that Facebook’s CFO who was managing our IPO process had no idea we were getting married. With IPOs, the process goes on for a while and you just go public when everything is ready. When I originally set the date for our surprise, we had no idea when the IPO would be.
I remember the day David, our CFO, told me the IPO process would conclude on May 18. I was shocked. I closed the door and asked if it was possible to maybe do it a few days sooner. He said it wouldn’t be ready yet. I asked if maybe we could do it a week later, and he told me that May 18 was the day it would be ready so it needed to be that day. And that’s how our IPO came to be the day before our wedding. The wedding was really special, but, as you know, our IPO wasn’t exactly smooth.
Priscilla and I took off on our honeymoon, but I wanted to be with our team when things got rocky, so I cut our honeymoon a few days short. Instead, I promised Priscilla that every year we’d have a honeymoon to celebrate our marriage. That brings us to today. Some years we’ve gone to Japan or France. This year we’re traveling around the US and we’ll be spending our honeymoon in rural Maine.
One lesson I’ve learned from marriage is that exploring together just gets better over time. Priscilla, here’s to a great sixth year of marriage and perhaps some better planning in the future!

Cockroach milk four times as nutritious as cow milk – Scientists

Some scientists have made a stunning discovery leading to the propagation that “not only is cockroach milk fast becoming a part of our food chain and diet, it’s even referred to as the super food of the future.” National Daily  gathered that an international team of scientists from the Institute of Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine (inStem) in Bangalore, India, recently discovered the structure of milk protein crystal from the guts of a cockroach species, leading to their conclusion that “It’s more than four times as nutritious as cow’s milk and it could be the key to feeding their growing population in the future.” Leonard Chavas, one of the scientists behind the research and his colleagues examined the species, also known as  Diploptera punctata,  which is the only specie of cockroach known to be viviparous, able to bring forth live babies that have developed within the mother’s body, instead of the mother laying eggs to develop outside her body.

Arguably the most used face for Memes on Social Media in Nigeria, Nollywood Actor, Odunlade Adekola recently had a chat with Punch, and he opened up on his child, career, high rate of domestic violence in relationships/marriage and more. Read Below. Can you recall how you started your acting career? I used to act very well in church and people loved it whenever I came on stage. Even before I mounted the stage, people would already be screaming in excitement and the cleric would then have to caution them so that everybody could hear what I had to say. It was the interest and love that people had for me that motivated me to take acting serious. Meanwhile, there was a friend of mine who we used to act together and go about performing in churches. He was part of a group that used to meet for rehearsals somewhere close to where I lived. One day, he told the members of his group that he had a friend who could act. They told him to invite me and when I got there, they asked me if

She was only told where to show up and when because she didn’t want to be caught too off-guard and her s
