10 Types of Selfies You Should Stop Taking

---

1. Toilet Selfies
Of all places to take a selfie, why are you photographing your perfect face in the loo? I mean, I’m sure there arenicer places to take your selfie at home like the garden or the kitchen. Even your wall would make for a better background.
And why are you taking a selfie of yourself while making a dump? Why are you doing this?? This is just nasty. Please keep your business behind closed doors and off social media, good grief.
https://techcribng.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/toilet-techcribng.jpg
2. Crying Selfies
how can you take a selfie when you are crying, Um, are you okay? Do you need to have some ice cream?Maybe you should get off the Internetfor a while you know, so you can pull yourself together.
I still do not know what is the purpose of posting a photo of yourself crying but you should definitely consider taking a break from selfies to down a tub of ice cream. Or doing whatever it is to make yourself happy.
https://techcribng.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/crying-techcribng.jpg
3. Sleeping Selfies
are you pretending or what?…Hey, do you know that no one is buying nor falling for these ? We all know that you just decided tolie on the bed, angle your phone strategically, close your eyes, and press the shutter.
What’s that you say? Your finger justhappenedto click on the shutter at such an opportune time? Your bae caught you sleeping? Such impress.
https://techcribng.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/sleeping-techcribng.jpeg
4. Disaster Selfies
This is me looking at your selfie that you took when escaping from a fire or at a car crash.
https://techcribng.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/facepalm-techcribng.jpg
Because what are priorities, am I right? What is an awesome selfie compared to going to safety or helping the victims, after all. Congratulations on beingthe most sorry excuse of a human being, a rank which you now share with these people below:
This guy who took a selfie with a burning building in the background.
https://techcribng.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/fire-techcribng.jpg
5. Using Laptops or iPadsTo Take The Picture In A Mirror
https://techcribng.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/avoid-selfie-ipad-techcribng.jpg
6. Extreme Selfies
Please, stop. Get down from there, you’re going to fall. No really, watch out for that – rock.
Look, I know that selfie on top of that super tall building would make this the ultimate selfie or something. You were probably inspired by these guys and this jaw-dropping videothey made after climbing a Hong Kong skyscrapper.
https://techcribng.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/hongkongskyscrapper-techcribng.jpg
7. Shirtless Self
Oh my gosh ,, how can you take apictureof yourself driving a car without putting on a shirt.
https://techcribng.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/shirtless-selfee.jpg
[color=maroon]8. Duckface Selfies[/color]
this is common among ladies nowadays..We’re reaching the end of 2014, why is this still a thing? No, you do not look pretty. If anything, it is absolutely unflattering andincredibly ridiculous. A simple smile would do and you look so much better and attractive and not annoying.
https://techcribng.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/duckface-techcribng.jpg
9. The Hospital Selfie
(A rare gem. The more tubes you have hooked up to you, the better.)

When it comes to searching for a job in this new age of Social Media, platforms such as LinkedIn comes to mind for tech savvy and internet-oriented people.Twitter isn’t the first social network someone typically thinks about when applying for a job however, it might surprise you that it is also a very viable tool for finding a job too!
You might be wondering, can I use Twitter to find jobs as well? Yes, you can! And here is how:
1.Get a Twitter Account: This is a no-brainer right – I mean everybody is on Twitter right? Well, you’d surprised that some of us Internet heads still don’t know how to use Twitter, so they don’t bother opening an account. But to find a Job using Twitter, you need to first have an account running there. And hey, it’s free to open too!
https://techcribng.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/tweet-techcribng.jpg

2. Give Value: To get, you should give. Being an engaging twitter member of the industry in which you want to work, and contributing content to build a social following is a way to use Twitter to find a job. Through Twitter, you can learn from your peers in whatever discipline you’re in, or use it as a platform to share content so you can build awareness of you as a professional, and ultimately position yourself as a thought leader in a particular expertise. And since twitter is an open network, it affords the opportunity to do that in a very public way. Interact and respond to the people in your networks. Add value to your community.
3. Follow Smart : on Twitter, its follow and be followed, not “likes” or “friends”. So who or what you decide to follow really matters in your job search on Twitter. Asides following people, follow the industry you are interested in, and participate in communities on Twitter you care about. Show what you are passionate about, give recruiters an idea of your personality &interests outside of your career. Build your network before you need it; engage with people who do what you want to do.
4. Your Tweets: Well, really, its Social Media, its free, say what you please. But searching for a Job is serious stuff. So don’t just retweet what others are saying; create meaningful content that people care about. Just having a Twitter handle isn’t enough to attract the attention of recruiters. They’re going to be looking at what kind of content you share on your account. You want to share a good mix of interesting and thought-provoking content, as well as tweets that give a taste of your personality. Study how companies, brands and public figures tweet. Build your tweets and gradually become a thought leader. Don’t be overly professional. Twitter is a great way to showcase your personality and talk to people about your interests. This way, you be noticed and may even be contacted for a job offering.
5. Use As Pointer: Another way to find ajob on Twitter, is to use Twitter as a pointer to your more detailed online profiles — could be a personal blog or even your LinkedIn profile. First impressions are just as important on social media. Make sure you have a great online description and photo. Be professional but interesting.
6. Know Your Handles: Lots of companies today have job-related Twitter handles(usernames). Following those is a great way to keep tabs on job openings, rather than searching the company’s website.
https://techcribng.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/twitter-job-cv.jpeg
Bottom line
Remember that Twitter is one of the top social media in the world today and will be a good thing using it as a way for searching for new employment. Twitter complements your other activities and consider it another string to your bow.
Please share your experience of Twitter and whether it’s helped you?

It just doesn’t add up and in my next article I would give reasons why I believe the APC should cool off on Atiku’s presidential bid not because he isn’t good enough or prepared but because it would be playing into the hands of the PDP. Let Jonathan, his handlers, and his party stand against the Buhari they have been boasting for years would be easy to defeat.
Without any iota of doubt corruption and economic sabotage remain Nigeria’s problems and we can’t make any progress as nation unless we fix it. Its not just about sending corrupt people to jail as Buhari did as Head of State, its by the perception you give to people and the international community, the confidence you give to foreign investors that business can be done in Nigeria without giving bribes, the hope you give to millions of young Nigerian graduates, engineers, managers, bankers, business men and women that the country is open for genuine business and people and indeed the entire nation can prosper should they choose to be legitimate. People forget this was some of the perception and hope that the Buhari/Idiagbon regime gave to Nigerians in 1984 as Head of State. For example under Buhari’s regime, feasibility and pre-feasibility studies for any government project was done by Nigerians with no fee paid to any foreign consultant for a job Nigerians could do. The only fees paid where in services where Nigerians lacked the expertise or occupational shortages then in the sciences, technical skills or advanced technology.
He ensured that turn around maintenance (TAM) on our refineries was done by Nigerian engineers thereby saving us foreign exchange. He also started paying off all our debts as soon as he in came into power, as corrupt Shehu Shagari’s government was unable to meet any debt repayments before they were overthrown. By the time Buhari was overthrown he had paid off over $4 billion of our foreign debts in two years from the huge $15 billion Shagari had being ill-advised to borrow, and brought inflation down from runaway 40% to less than 5.5%. Also by the time Buhari’s regime was usurped by IBB we were running a budget surplus all in less than two years, the first and only time that has happened since after the oil boom of the 70s in Nigeria.
Since August 1985, when IBB came into power Nigeria has always ran a budget deficit consistently, possibly under the late Sani Abacha we had a budget neutral once but consistently its been a deficit. Nigerians don’t even talk about something that is a big issue in every serious country around the world including Puerto Rico, where its a big political talking point. The Nigerian budget under the PDP since 1999 has always been a deficit despite oil prices at an all-time high. Under Jonathan since 2010, we’ve consistently ran a budget deficit (which for those who don’t know means we spend more than we earn as a nation to the detriment of the economy and the masses) and under Buhari we had a budget surplus (we earn more than we spend as a nation to the betterment of the economy and the masses). Yet they insist Buhari is easy to defeat, so why the fear?
I leave with feedback I got from a reader on my last article titled: “A Closing Argument for Buhari’s Case”. Chimezie Okezie, writing from chimezie_hse@yahoo.co.uk, wondered why the APC is shying away from building a fanatical followership across the country for Buhari like he has in the North, and why they are treating the issue of unseating President Jonathan with kid gloves. He advocates that the APC should mobilise their registered members to collect their permanent voters cards, and verify they are doing so.
Okezie posits that the APC should start recruiting vowed loyal members as polling booth agents across the country and start training them on how to counter rigging and arm them with readily available technologies that can be used to capture voting (declared results) in each booth and polling unit, with results collated in real time at the APC central campaign coordinating office.
This would ensure that results come in live to APC and there is no way election results can be rigged by the PDP across the country as the results are being collated from each polling unit in real time by the APC, should they deploy the technology Okezie advocates.
He finishes by saying: “If we get our act (APC, Buhari supporters, and Nigerian masses I believe) right, I will close my eyes, beat my chest and tell you that Buhari has won.” This is coming from an ordinary Nigerian. The question I need president Jonathan’s handlers, supporters, media supporters and the PDP to answer is, if Buhari is easy to defeat as they claim, why the fear?

The way supporters of President Jonathan are calling for the APC to make Atiku their presidential candidate reminds me of TV adverts of mosquitoes and roaches begging not to have Baygon or Raid insecticide sprayed on them should Buhari be chosen instead. If they feel Buhari would be a softer target to defeat why would you be discreetly and indirectly begging your opponents to field a “stronger” candidate in Atiku?
https://www.nigeriancurrent.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Nigeria-2015-Buhari-vs-Jonathan.jpg

This is one question I’ve been asking myself since the last article I wrote in support of Muhammadu Buhari’s presidential ambitions. Prior to writing the article we’ve had a Special Adviser to the President on Media, Doyin Okupe, saying Buhari is a serial loser.
I’ve monitored so many other articles and interviews with many of them insisting Jonathan would have a walk-over if Buhari were to be the presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC) and I ask myself the question, if Buhari would be easy to defeat, why the fear from the Presidency, their supporters in the media and party members within the PDP about Buhari’s candidature?
Would there be something we’re missing out on with all the sudden press attacks on Buhari or is that part of the plan to make him easy to defeat? The truth is Buhari’s candidature if given the chance as the APC’s presidential candidate would give Jonathan and all his handlers a good run for their money, hence why they are all quaking.
The fear of Buhari has become the beginning of wisdom for many. Let’s remind ourselves again, this is a man who almost single-handedly started a new party four months to the 2011 elections and won over 12 million votes as the candidate of the CPC with 25% of votes across 16 states compared to Jonathan, with all his resources and being the candidate of a 12-year-old party then winning 10 million votes more than Buhari.
In the last 18 months, Buhari has worked assiduously along with other well-meaning Nigerians across the different power bases in the country to build a much stronger party and yet the presidency and the PDP would have us believe he would be easy to defeat.
So the question remains, why the fear?
Buhari, if selected as the APC presidential candidate, would surely be hinging his campaign on his zero tolerance for corruption, which in the past has seen him come up against allegedly corrupt politicians. Though many accuse him of jailing mostly southern politicians, I can’t recall him crating any Southern politician, drugging him and attempting to bring him back to Nigeria. The fact that he did that to a Northern politician, Umaru Dikko, absolves him of a lot of blame. If he was parochial or partial in his fight against corruption, he would never have crated a northern politician to bring him to justice back home, though his administration has always denied being involved in that landmark drama in Nigeria’s history.
Thus if he says he would be fighting corruption and economic sabotage as president in 2015, there is sure guarantee to believe him compared to this present administration that has remained aloof even in the face of massive corruption and economic
sabotage going on in the country. The PDP and the presidency, despite all this, would however insist that Buhari is easy to defeat. I would not be interested in arguing over that, I’m just amused at the amount of fear Buhari’s candidacy is generating, why the fear if he is easy to defeat?
Its become so ridiculous that you find some of the writers disingenuously calling for the APC to choose Abubakar Atiku as their presidential candidate, with a certain Islamic cleric Sheikh Ahmad Gumi even going as far as suggesting other names as Rotimi Amaechi, Tunde Fashola, Rabiu Kwankwaso etc., but surely not Buhari. But I haven’t seen any of the writers present a compelling reason why Jonathan should re-contest in 2015 let alone why Nigerians should vote for him.
The whole talk is about that great man Buhari, but I thought he was supposedly easy to defeat, so why all the fear? The way supporters of President Jonathan are calling for the APC to make Atiku their presidential candidate reminds me of TV adverts of mosquitoes and roaches begging not to have Baygon or Raid insecticide sprayed on them should Buhari be chosen instead. If they feel Buhari would be a softer target to defeat why would you be discreetly and indirectly begging your opponents to field a “stronger” candidate in Atiku?

This year has seen the worst outbreak in history of the Ebola Virus Disease(EVD). The outbreak has a mortality rate of around 50 per cent. This scene shows bodies being taken away in Sierra Leone
One example is Harvard University’s HealthMap which flagged up a ‘mystery haemorrhagic fever’ nine days before the World Health Organisation announced the Ebola epidemic.
The fever was seen developing in the forested areas of southeastern Guinea by a free online tool known as HealthMap on March 19.
The US group behind the software started putting out alerts and providing information to the World Health Organisation, which reported its first confirmed case of Ebola on March 23.
Since then, the HealthMap team has created an interactive Ebola map, free to use by anyone who wants to see where the disease is spreading.
The map, run by scientists in Boston, uses algorithms to scour tens of thousands of social media sites, local news and government websites to detect and track disease outbreaks.
It then filters out irrelevant data to identify dangerous diseases and map their locations with the help of health experts.
‘It shows some of these informal sources are helping paint a picture of what’s happening that’s useful to these public health agencies,’ said HealthMap co-founder John Brownstein.
Ebola is transmitted by human contact, which means knowing where people are moving can provide valuable insight to researchers trying to contain the outbreak.
‘Big data has really changed epidemiology,’ Madhav Marathe, director of Virginia Bioinformatics Institute’s Network Dynamics and Simulation Science Laboratory told International Business Times.
Mr Marathe has been working with the U.S. Department of Defense for almost a decade to help track diseases like and predict how they might spread.
In addition to using information send via text message, the team have turned to updates on social networks such as Facebook and Twitter.
A project by the group, dubbed ‘#HackEbola’, gathers the data put out by local ministries of health and publishes the results online.
Meanwhile, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is collecting mobile phone mast activity data from operators and mapping where calls to helplines are located.
While this data has proved valuable, experts claim that more resources are needed to analyse the data faster.
If they manage this, scientists believe big data analytics could help provide an off-the-shelf Ebola vaccine.
But that may still be some way off. ‘We’re learning all this from scratch – we’ve never had this level of data before,’ Qlik’s David Bolton told the BBC.
‘So it’s probably too early to say whether big data analytics is having a meaningful impact on the rate and spread of the disease, but at least it is helping us decide where to allocate our resources.’…

Could a TEXT MESSAGE help halt Ebola?
YES, ‘Big data’ could be key to stopping deadly virus in its tracks – and may even help find a cure

*. More than 8,000 people are thought to have contracted the disease, and almost half of those have died
*.Text messages are helping in the fight against Ebola in Sierra Leone with people receiving health text alerts
*.BBC has really helping sending Whatsapp alerts that include short audio clips and photos to people at risk from Ebola
*.As well as sending alerts, social media is helping health agencies monitor trends in outbreaks by their location
*.Harvard University’s HealthMap flagged a ‘haemorrhagic fever’ nine days before Ebola was formally announced.

Meanwhile , this really help in a country like Nigeria to curb the deadly virus…
4days ago World Health Organization declare Nigeria Ebola free country, With these Us , sierra lone and some other country have congratulate federal Government of Nigeria for stopping the deadly virus.
The Ebola virus is continuing its rampage throughout West Africa with the number of people infected doubling every three to four weeks.
According to dailymailSo far, more than 8,000 people are thought to have contracted the disease, and almost half of those have died, according to the World Health Organization.
In the battle to stem the virus, health organization are turning towards data generated by social media and mobile technology – with some hoping it may even help find a cure.

Text messages are helping in the fight against Ebola in Sierra Leon with people receiving public health text alerts and sending messages about food security to aid agencies
For instance, text messages are helping in the fight against Ebola in Sierra Leone, with people receiving public health text alerts and sending messages about food security to aid agencies.
The initiative was started by the Word Food Programme (WFP) in an effort to source information about household food security for those at risk.
So far, more than 850 people have responded to a survey which was sent to mobile phone subscribers randomly by location, and involved answering ten text messages.
‘[An] advantage of mobile data collection is that is it quicker than sending around teams to do face to face surveys around the country,’ said Jean-Martin Bauer, a WFP food security analyst.

Pictured on the left is a health worker, and on the left a demonstration hoping to stem the spread of Ebola.
In a public health emergency, where the situation of communities is changing by the week, this helps WFP have more timely information to shape our response.’
The Red Cross and Red Crescentalso hope to extend a text message-based system used to advise people about Ebola in to seven West African nations.
The facility will allow the charities to send SMS messages to every switched-on handset in an area by drawing its shape on a computer-generated map.
Meanwhile, the BBC has started sending Whatsapp alerts that include short audio clips and low-resolution photos to people threatened by Ebola.
Within just four hours of launching the service, more than 1,000 people signed up for its Ebola alerts, which are sent in both English and French.
As well as sending alerts, technology is helping health agencies monitor trends in outbreaks by their speed, number and location.

WHAT IS BIG DATA?
*.Big data is the term used to describe extremely large data sets that can be analysed to reveal widespread patterns, trends, and associations.
*.The amount of data is usually so large that it requires a computer to process the information, rather than just a person or group of people.
*.Big data is usually used to better understand human behaviour and trends within society – both on the small scale and globally.

The Ebola virus is continuing its rampage throughout West Africa with the number of people infected doubling every three to four weeks. So far, more than 8,000 people are thought to have contracted the disease, and almost half of those have died, according to the World Health Organization.

In a public health emergency, where the situation of communities is changing by the week, this helps WFP have more timely information to shape our response.’
The Red Cross and Red Crescentalso hope to extend a text message-based system used to advise people about Ebola in to seven West African nations.
The facility will allow the charities to send SMS messages to every switched-on handset in an area by drawing its shape on a computer-generated map.
Meanwhile, the BBC has started sending Whatsapp alerts that include short audio clips and low-resolution photos to people threatened by Ebola.
Within just four hours of launching the service, more than 1,000 people signed up for its Ebola alerts, which are sent in both English and French.
As well as sending alerts, technology is helping health agencies monitor trends in outbreaks by their speed, number and location.

predict is the wrong word

but the car would be aware of its surroundings

the car cant predict what move the next driver or cyclist will do but it will be aware of the things around it and be ready for any dangerous move, therefore may be your accelerator pedal would be less effective in case you press it by mistake when you really wanted the brake pedal

Thanks For Your explanation.

A mobile app is a computer program designed to run on smartphones, tablet computers and other mobile devices.
Apps are usually available through application distribution platforms, which began appearing in 2008 and which are typically operated by the owner of the mobile operating system, such as the Apple App Store, Google Play, Windows Phone Store, and BlackBerry App World. Some apps are free, while others must be bought. Usually, they are downloaded from the platform to a target device, such as an iPhone, BlackBerry, Android phone or Windows Phone, but sometimes they can be downloaded to laptops or desktop computers.
More and more, the world is becoming mobile. In school My colleagues and i recently discussed the increased prevalence of doing business on our smartphones or tablets.
