Kenya police fire tear gas on playground protest

I was really shocked when I saw this atrocity and barbaric act towards school children. School children should be respected because education is a right no longer a privileged coupled with the fact that they are the true leaders of tomorrow.
 In most part of the world, it takes parent extra effort to persuade their children to go to school. So disturbing those who are willing to get education is a serious crime.
 You may not want to agree with me on this, but what is really wrong for students to protest over the sale of their

Find out why America's Shopping Malls Are Dying A Slow, Ugly Death

 Freedom and comfort are very paramount in a man’s life. I bet you if these two words are lacking in a man’s life it could lead to disorganization of the home, family and the society in general. So when individual perceived the attempt is under way to make life a bit easier, they speedily accommodate the change because it has a lot of economic benefits. I am very sure you reading this will not waste a minute waiting for a prophet or an imam to inform you.
I remember vividly those days in school when my Supervisor asked me to make a presentation on E-Transaction, I will tell you I was so excited not because it was a short title but foreseen people, groups, businessmen and entrepreneurs moving from a traditional way to a much more comfort ways of transacting business. Among the benefits I listed was reduced crimes, theft, transport cost etc. The people will definitely welcome the development so long the infrastructures are available.  
I don’t know how prepared ownership of shopping malls are mostly in Africa as against online shopping that is going wider and wider on a daily basis. This development has affected hundred of shopping malls in America and other giant countries by forcing shopping malls out of business and also threatening the workforce.

Honda to begin selling jets in 2015 Scale model displayed at Detroit auto show

I know Honda products are fantastic no doubt.It took the company 20 years it shows you how reliable and dependable the jet will look.
After 20 years of preparation, Honda plans to begin selling light jets in the second quarter of 2015, the Japanese automaker announced Tuesday at the North American International Auto Show, where a scale model of the HondaJet was on display.

John Mendel, executive vice president of American Honda Motor Co. said the HondaJet has yet to complete the Federal Aviation Administration approval process, but is already being mass produced.

"The most significant of HondaJet's many breakthroughs is the unique, over-the-wing engine mount configuration," Mendel said. "It's engineered and proven by Honda after more than 20 years of extensive research and development. This design makes HondaJet the fastest, the highest flying and - typical Honda - the most fuel efficient aircraft in its class."

Beer Poisoning Death Toll Rises to 69 in Central Mozambique

While praying for those that have passed on to rest in peace and God grants their closed relatives the fortitude to bear the lost. I also pray for the ones presently admitted at the hospital a quick recovery. The beer poisoning really sound me confusing though I know investigation is still on.
More so, I won’t fail to let you know my dear readers its hard time we stayed away from those things that can ignorantly send us to an early grave. I preach to you to stop consuming liquid that you are not sure of its origination and the some manufacturing drinks without government approved label. Always remember ‘’your health is your wealth’’

A Man busted smuggling 94 iphones into China like body armor

 I’m really shocked hearing there is a low and underwhelming consumers that even smugglers who illegally shipped them to China have to slash their prices less than half because of falling in demand. There is also a report that the main route to China for smuggling iPhones is from Hong Kong-gangs persuade consumers to buy them using their official ID cards, only one of the agents to collects the device from the Apple store.
I believe you will make a whole lot if you happen to be one of the smugglers. Selling the iPhone 6 illegally in China can make you big bucks, which is why smugglers are willing to go to insane lengths to bring ill-gotten iPhones into the country. The Verge directs our attention to a new report from Sina News about a man in China who got busted trying to sneak 94 iPhone 6 units into the country by strapping them all to his body.

Jackie Chan’s son arrested on drug charges, faces up to three years in prison

I have always respect China's policies even before she recently became the second largest economy in the world though the westerners did not agree always pointing fingers and accusing the Chinese government of oppression and brutality on her citizens. Personally, China's attitude towards discipline, corruption in particular, equality, vocational skills, management of resource control, human  development to mention but a few contributed to what the citizens are enjoying today. 
That is not to say there are no bottle-necks, but the truth is that they have really achieved growth in almost every sector of the economy and still not relent in achieving to be the largest economy in the world. 
I would like to use this medium to inform other developing countries especially in African where World Bank reported recently that more than eighty percent of the population still lived on dollar per day. This country should stop being sentiment and do everything humanly possible to emulate some of the China policies.
If you are in doubt, Jackie Chan’s son was arrested on drugs charges and he’s to face up to three years in prison.....This is a man with all his popularity and personality whose movies contributed to China’s GDP in the 80s and early 90s, I was very young then with my peers crying like babies if is not Jackie Chan movie nothing more. 
I know few African countries have gathered the courage, but implementing the policy is the fear.

Many taxi drivers in Nanjing, Jiangsu province, have been assaulted by colleagues since Thursday afternoon for not participating in a strike aimed at reducing the franchise fees that eat up much of their monthly revenue.

Many taxi drivers in Nanjing, Jiangsu province, have been assaulted by colleagues since Thursday afternoon for not participating in a strike aimed at reducing the franchise fees that eat up much of their monthly revenue.
The local transport department has warned taxi drivers to watch out for their safety, but suggested they carry passengers as usual.

A few taxis responded to ride-hailing apps or stopped on the road for passengers during the weekend, but workers at the city's two railway stations said about 90 percent of the taxis have stopped operation.

According to the Nanjing government, the transport and price departments are launching a survey into the taxi industry and will "initiate legislative proposals" dealing with the drivers' demands "in proper time".

Cloud Computing Prices Fall As Competition Heats Up

Cloud computing should be the best option for any private or public organization that is ready to remain in business.However,training of staffs should not be an issues to the management of such organizations.
Cloud computing continues to be all the rage with more and more Cloud computing services slashing the prices of their Cloud services. Google is the latest to announce a price drop, lowering their prices by 30 to 85 percent depending on the service. Today, Cloud storage with Google only costs a mere 2.6 cents per gigabyte and, in many cases, the cost can be even lower based on other services and the amount of storage your company needs. This attempt by Google is an effort to compete with other services such as Amazon as the market continues to grow almost exponentially.

Before jumping on the Cloud computing bandwagon, there are many things about Cloud computing you need to consider.

Find out New system could allow mothers to see a live HOLOGRAM of their baby in the womb.....

Future technology is becoming really cool to families and relatives.With this advance in technology,I strongly believe more couples will be happier when they see,relate and communicate with their unborn child.Apart from the joy couples enjoy when they see their unborn child,it would also give the opportunity to correct any unborn child that needs urgent attension before they are born.
 I still remember Newton's third laws which state: to every action,there is equal and opposite reaction......I may not yet have an idea of the consequences this will caused to the foetus,but the truth is there are sound waves,unseen waves and other unknown elements emitted in the process...............

WhatsApp releases update that stops people knowing when a message has been read

For many, Whatsapp's blue ticks are a welcome feature that let's users know exactly when their message has been read.

For others, however, they have made it harder to ignore people - and the feature's release earlier this month led to a backlash from a number of disgruntled members.

Does Your Husband Wear Wedding Ring

Marriage is a commitment involving two people who choose to be deeply dependent on each other. Marriage is a chosen act –a process involving the partners’ will and desire. Wedding ring is a symbol of that covenant between the wedding couple. To some people the wedding ring is supposed to work as anti-cheating device because it signals to others that the person wearing it is married and already in a relationship. All wedding rings look similar because it is important that it is easily recognizable for what it is and not mistaken for just a piece of jewelry. If you are happily married it should remind you of your happiness and love with your partner.

Many people have been forced to ask, “Why do many married men go around without wearing their wedding ring?” Some wives get very worried when their husbands don’t wear their wedding ring. Does your husband wear his wedding ring? If not, why not?

There are about six reasons why some men don’t wear their wedding ring. But the one that comes to mind immediately is infidelity. But this is not the only reason.
Discomfort
Some married men don’t wear a wedding ring because they may be allergic to gold, silver or platinum. Apart from irritation, some men don’t like the feel of jewelry on their fingers because before they married they had never worn jewelry on their hands. They don’t like the oppressive feeling of a metal ring wrapped around the bottom of their finger. It may feel like extra weight.

Women are more likely than men to display symptoms of depression when in a position of authority at work

Women are more likely than men to display symptoms of depression when in a position of authority at work, according to US scientists.
I know this content may be a bit different from my usual post. I read this report from a US scientists that women display symptoms of depression when in a position of authority at work then I was compelled to post a copy on this blog.
You may not agreed with me,but few friends who have their bosses as women also shared their experience,as in, the trouble they go through at the offices.Is not going to be easy but employers should endeavor the best approach to manage their attitude.Share your experience if you have had a woman as a boss.   

Russia hacking site spying webcams worldwide

This can only happen in Europe  you may say,but I bet you this act will spread to the rest of the world soon if the end users and technicians are not careful.
Insecurity which is a major issues in most part of the world today have increase the sales and the demand for CCTV and other security gadgets.Though, it sounds rediculous for russian hackers to be involved in this act, still you can play your part by changing the default password of the security gadgets you just procured or already installed. To convince you dear readers on what I mean

Hackers 'already using Shellshock bug to attack victims.

I got this piece from telegraph,I guess it will do you more good if you take the time to read through.Many users believe Unix family are more proned to attack.I never believed them but with this piece,I think i have to be more careful.

Mobile phones 'safe to use during flights

Personally,all thanks to the group of researchers that put their heads together for revealing this information.Although,it will depend on the operators decision to allow it or not.But the good news is that you don't necessarily have to switch your phones to airplane mode if you choose the airplane operators that allow it.
For some who haven’t travelled by air,may not have the idea of how passengers feel when instructed to switch off their phones airplane mode.Imagine, a distance that last between 8-10 hours your phone becomes a moron.

5 Million Online Passwords Leaked, Check Yours Now.

The hackers are at it again,I just got a report from Daily Dot, nearly 5 million usernames and passwords associated with Gmail accounts have been leaked on a Russian Bitcoin forum. Here's what you should know.

The list has since been taken down, and there's no evidence that Gmail itself was hacked—just that these passwords have been leaked. Most sources are saying that lots of the information is quite old, so chances are they were leaked long ago—though others are claiming 60% of the passwords are still valid (not to mention really, really horrible).
To check if your password was one of the leaked, plug your Gmail address into this trusted tool

padlock opens using a PHONE: Bluetooth app lets you secure doors and bikes

 It won't amazed me some day seeing software developers come out with an app that would make your ex disappear..lol.All the same,here we got an app that reduce the pain locking a bike when popping into a shop for a few minutes – especially when you know you’ll be fumbling for your keys minutes later.

But the key is set to become a thing of the past now that designers have created a Bluetooth padlock that can be unlocked simply by hovering a smartphone nearby.

The padlock, which resembles a traditional one, is the first to allow users to open a lock without keys using an iOS or Android app.

To work the ‘Noke’ lock, a user must press the shackle when they and their phone are nearby.

‘Noke wakes up and searches for your phone or a shared phone. If the phone is within a few feet, Noke will instantly unlock so you can be on your way. No need to launch an app or remove your phone from your pocket or purse,’ the company wrote on Kickstarter.

It uses signals sent via Bluetooth to a smartphone to identify the owner of the lock and in this way will also allow people to share their lock – so two people could access one bike, for example, either temporarily or permanently.

Utah-based design company Fuz Designs created the smart padlock to solve the problems associated with traditional padlocks and keys, which are easy to lose, can be stolen and are hard to share.
The device weighs just over eight ounces (227 grams) and is designed to be used with a cable for bikes, as well as securing sheds.
It is made from hardened steel and boron and has a long-life battery that promises to last for a year with continuous use.
If a user’s phone, or the lock’s battery dies, they will be able to use ‘quick click’ technology to access the lock, allowing them to key in a sequence of pre-determined clicks manually using the shackle.
Co-founder of the company, Cameron Gibbs, 35, said: 'Noke is roughly the same size as a traditional padlock.
'It is 3.3 inches (9cm) tall and 2.2 inches (6cm) wide and weighs about eight ounces.
'There is no interference with other Bluetooth devices. Noke doesn't unlock until you wake it up. It won't ever unlock on its own.’
The firm is currently raising funding on Kickstarter and has smashed its $100,000 (£62,000) target, pulling in over $500,000 (£310,106).
The lock is available to pre-order for $59 (£37) with a shipping date in February, but will retail for around $89 (£55).

Graduate who held up sign advertising himself at Waterloo Station starts work after he's handed dream job by passing commuter

 A graduate who held up a sign advertising his skills to commuters at Waterloo Station has landed his perfect position after his direct approach to job hunting paid off.
Alfred Ajani, 22, feared he was getting nowhere after unsuccessfully applying for more than 300 jobs following his graduation in May.
He got up early to intercept passing city workers at the busy London station last month, holding a sign saying: 'Marketing Graduate - Please ask for a CV'.
His approach was well received by passing executives and one director who saw him has now signed him up.
Alfred, from south London, started in a marketing role at recruitment agency the Asoria Group yesterday and now works just yards from the
spot where he once stood looking for a job.
He said: 'The director walked past me when he saw me that morning, but later got in contact through [the website] Linked In.
'The company said they were looking for someone with out of the box ideas and so they were keen to get me in.'
In recognition of the fame his stunt brought him, Alfred's new colleagues made special T-shirts with his photo on them to welcome him on his first day.

He added: 'The job is one I wouldn't have got if I hadn't gone to the station that morning, so I advise anyone out there who is in the same position I was to think of more direct ways to speak to employers.

Statistics show that almost half of recent graduates are now in 'non-graduate' or 'stepping stone' roles, such as bar-tending, and are struggling to get the positions they had hoped for.
Alfred had always wanted to work in advertising, but after three years studying for his degree in the subject, was losing hope of ever joining the industry.
In a last-ditch attempt to speak to potential employers, he went to Waterloo Station with an armful of CVs and was later inundated with offers.
After months spent struggling to get an interview, he suddenly had a flood of offers and found himself able to choose his career path.
He said: 'I knew this was somewhere I wanted to come and am really looking forward to the opportunity.'

 On behalf of my dear readers,I want to wish Afred a very big success in his careers and other applicants who has been struggling to get a job.

New iPhone and 'iWatch': the essential Apple news

 We're just hours away from Apple's "special event" where it is expected to launch a brand new iPhone and a smartwatch. Here's everything you need to know:

• Apple's new mobile phone, the iPhone 6, will actually be two products: one with a 4.7in screen and a larger 5.5in model. Read all the latest rumours on the devices here and see our gallery of "leaked" images and artistic impressions here.

• We will also see the launch of the "iWatch". The major technology companies (and several small ones) are fighting for a share of the rapidly expanding smartwatch market at the moment, and Apple is expected to stake its own claim today. The wrist-worn device is expected to play music, receive calls and send emails. Read all the latest rumours about the device here.

 Both of the new devices will run a new version of Apple's mobile operating system, iOS 8. It has a powerful new feature called HealthKit to monitor your health which will tie together data from fitness trackers and things like blood pressure sensors. It also has HomeKit, which can control a wide range of home automation devices like lights and central heating. You'll be able to tell Siri "I'm going to bed" and your lights will dim and your heating will turn off.
