It's called call-cards which are not actually assigned to any physical SIM card. Hence, it generates numbers based on the country you call.
It's cheaper for those calling from Obodo Oyinbo to use call cards rather than calling with their registered lines.
It also provides security to the caller as their locations cannot be easily determined by receiver.

Some days ago, a friend i was chatting with online said he called & i ddnt pick his call. I checked my missed calls but couldnt find his number among the missed calls. So, i did not believe that he called...


So, later i picked a naija line (080...) & he was d one on line. Dis guy is not in Naija & not aware of the changes too. I cross-checked the missed calls & found out that the number's slghtly diff from the one he used recently...

Why're the telcos doing this without our consent? Hope they'r not tapping our lines....

M. Ludvik SkySlide: Quake-Proof Glass


A slide that hovers 1,000 feet above Los Angeles might seem like mere novelty, but the process used to make the glass could lead to stronger, more energy-efficient buildings. Architects used code from NASA to structurally analyze the design, then employed a new form of chemical strengthening to make glass that’s as strong as steel. “We could create naturally lit structures with very low carbon footprints,” says SkySlide engineer Michael Ludvik.

Harvard Robotic Stingray: The First Cyborg Animal


Biologists want to make artificial organs. But to do that, they need a deep understanding of how muscle cells—like those in the heart—talk to one another. So scientists at Harvard created the first truly hybrid robot animal. The nickel-size stingray has a gold skeleton covered in a stretchy polymer to which rat muscle cells are attached. Pulsing light makes the ray “swim.” It could help us learn how to build a heart that’s half-muscle, half-machine.

TEB Technology Transit Elevated Bus: Traffic-Straddling Bus


It remains to be seen if China’s straddling bus—which scoots over the same roadways as cars, on tracks embedded in the pavement—is practical. But it’s a bold idea for cities congested with traffic and pollution.

MIT + Caltech: Advanced LIGO, A Microphone for the Universe


LIGO, or the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory, first ran a decade ago to detect gravitational waves—ripples in spacetime, some of which date to the Big Bang. This year, an upgraded system called Advanced LIGO, which is much more sensitive, confirmed one of Einstein’s biggest predictions—on its first run. Observing these waves lets scientists plot the history of the universe and spot events like supernovas.

Columbia + Univ. of Iceland: CarbFix, A Speedy Way to Store C02

Capturing carbon from the atmosphere is an alluring solution to our climate woes, but we need to figure out how to store it quickly and permanently. CarbFix —a system currently in use at one power plant in Iceland—dissolves greenhouse gases in water, and then pumps them into nearby basalt-laden volcanic rock, where both convert into limestone within a few years. The ocean floor is rich in basalt, so the method could scale worldwide.

ThyssenKrupp MULTI Elevator: Elevators That Go in Any Direction


Elevator shafts often take up half of a skyscraper’s footprint, and the steel cables that carry them up and down limit how high the cars can travel. These constraints can be a major buzzkill for forward-thinking architects, who might want to design taller and wider. Enter MULTI, an elevator system that levitates—vertically, horizontally, and diagonally—atop tracks embedded with powerful magnets. Scheduled to begin testing in Germany early next year, MULTI will allow for indefinitely taller, wider, and more creatively designed towers.

Penn State CRISPR-Cas9 for Food: 'Shrooms with Shelf-Life


Up to 40 percent of food in the U.S. goes to waste, often due to spoilage. A plant pathologist at Penn State used the versatile gene-editing tool called CRISPR-Cas9 to design a button mushroom that resists browning, might have a longer shelf life­, and could ultimately cost the same as regular old ’shrooms. Though the product is not yet on sale, the tech behind it skirted USDA regulation­ last spring, paving the way for future gene-edited groceries.

Gensler's Shanghai Tower: An Extra-Green Skyscraper


The bigger the building, the harder it gets to efficiently heat and cool the interior. So architects gave the world’s second-tallest skyscraper, which opened this year in Shanghai, a double-walled facade that “acts as a thermos, keeping occupants warm in the winter and cool in the summer,” according to project director Grant Uhlir. The twisty shape creates room for 21 “sky gardens” that reflect the natural landscape and purify the internal air.

Mack Rides Pulsar: Next-Level Waterpark


Artificial log flumes in theme parks are so yesteryear. So, a German ride-design firm has brought the waterworks to a natural setting. They drained (then refilled) a lake to lay the foundation for a U-shaped roller coaster that rockets into the water at 60 miles per hour, creating a tsunami-like wave that drenches riders. Thrill-seekers swoop through the U twice before the force of the splash slows down the car.

To beat the heat in the United Arab Emirates, this museum’s galleries will be subterranean. Meanwhile, towers inspired by falcon wings will allow rising hot air to escape, while drawing cooler air into the structure.

Alptransit Gotthard Base Tunnel, A Tunnel Through The Alps

In 1999, the Swiss government broke ground on the most ambitious tunnel-building project in history. The dual-tube Gotthard Base Tunnel, which opened in June, follows a route that has a long history of schlepping people and goods over the Alps—it just happens to do it as deep as 1.5 miles below the icy massifs. Thanks to the precision of boring machines with ­29.5-foot heads, engineers excavated 31 million tons of rock (60 percent of which was recycled into the tunnel’s lining) to dig the 35-mile train passage, ushering in an era of efficient travel between points in Europe. Passengers can rocket from Zurich to Milan in three-and-a-half hours (down from just over four), and the shift of freight from roads to rails could put a real dent in air pollution. All aboard!

Another justification embed by the police to continue their harassment under the pretense of stop-and-search.
It is stop-and-obtain. I don't believe Nigerian Police...

How can stop-and-search discover people sharing loots? Were they sharing these loots inside the car?

I like people making references, like you just did.
But please, help us further and tell us few countries where tire expires 4 years from date of manufacture.

I think the manufacturers should be mandated to indicate expiry date since they know the material composition and processes to manufacturing tire.

My submission!

diportivo:
I don't see the argument here

All over the world,tyres av been said to expire after 4 years... simple!

If u want to argue legislation,vis-à-vis ur third world country claim,ur opinion.......dat doesn't,in any way,change the fact that 4 years remain the shelf life of a tyre

Though I feel your question, but where was Jesus when Stephen was stoned to death, disciples of old hanged? Or where was God when Jesus the Savior nailed to the cross?

But remember these;

Blessed are they .......Matt. 5:10,

Rom. 8:36-39

36 As it written, for thy sake we are killed all day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

39 Nor height , nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

DJHANDSOME:
So were was Jesus when this happened ?


Didn't he promise to protect his children ? GOD why??








Modified: May God forgive me for my comment above. .Am not an atheist please , it's just sad that bad things always happen to people who do good.....!..

Why should his whereabouts be questioned when people with perfectly/imperfectly good senses chose to do as they please, be it evil or good?

He isn't expected to take decisions for people. That rules out your right to choice. And choice is paramount.
