Mr. Grey went to great lengths to try and impress girls as a teen. His words. Jamie Dornan is the king of suave as he continuously seduces his onscreen lover  Dakota Johnson  in the hit  Fifty Shades   films but his adolescent sex life was as awkward as most people's. Possibly even more. The 35-year-old actor recently told an embarrassing story that brings to mind an R-rated teen comedy romp more than an erotic romance. Speaking on the  Graham Norton Show  on Friday, while sitting with fellow celebs  Helen Mirren and Liam Neeson , Dornan said that he was a "late developer" and that at age 15, he "looked about 7." He said that he was performing in an amateur production of  Anton Chekhov 's  The Cherry Orchard . He said he had no facial hair, so a "black, very acrylic, highly flammable wig" was cut and glued to his face to make him look older for his performance. He said he hoped to go a party a...

HIV therapy involves a combination of drugs that must be taken once or twice daily, making treatment adherence challenging for many people. But researchers may have found a solution to this problem, in the form of a pill that only needs to be taken once per week.   Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Brigham and Women's Hospital — both located in Boston, MA — have developed an ingestible capsule that can slowly release 1 week's worth of antiretroviral drugs. The team's novel creation has the potential to transform HIV therapy, as it means that people may only need to take a single pill once every week, rather than multiple medications every day. Co-lead study author Robert Langer, the David H. Koch Institute Professor at MIT, and his colleagues believe that their "pillbox in a capsule" could combat the current problem of adherence to antiretroviral therapy; research has indicated that up to 30 pe...

The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja will today rule on the proscription of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB. The Acting Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice Abdul Abdu-Kafarati, will deliver the judgment in the suit seeking to void the proscription and declaration of IPOB, as a terrorist organization. The Pro-Biafra group had through its lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, approached the court challenging the ruling it delivered on September 20, 2017, which outlawed it on the strength of an ex-parte motion the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN, filed on behalf of the government. The court had declared as illegal, all activities of IPOB, particularly in the South-East and South-South regions of the country in the said ruling. The Acting Chief Justice, who gave the ruling in chambers, further restrained “any person or group of persons from participating in any of the group’s activities.” The judge further...

  One client put so much cocaine up my vagina. After spending 11 months as a prostitute in London, Polly's ready to tell her horrifying story from the streets   Polly Trope* spent 11 months working as a prostitute, detouring into selling sex shortly after quitting her PhD at an Ivy League university in the US. "I had really bad mental health issues and although I wanted to finish my degree I knew I couldn't," she reveals. "So I decided to return to London, where I'd studied for my undergraduate degree. I reckoned it would be easier to find somewhere to stay and get a job there than it was in America."  But when she arrived in London, Polly didn't immediately get round to looking for work. "I drank a lot and took drugs and used up all my savings," she says. "One night I was thrown out of my lodgings because I hadn't paid my rent. So I just went into Soho, where I bumped into one of my dealers."...
