To the guyz who love correct games then on this bad boy before phones took over. It turned 25 today! I sure got into a lot of with this game. Share your experience.

Is that even possible?

Leopantro: Ignorance is bliss. The virus is really spreading.
Be afraid, everyone. Be very afraid

But the approach to the situation shouldn't be this barbaric.

Bolivia on Wednesday renounced a visa exemption agreement with Israel in protest over its offensive in Gaza, and declared it a terrorist state.

President Evo Morales announced the move during a talk with a group of educators in the city of Cochabamba.
It "means, in other words, we are declaring (Israel) a terrorist state," he said.

The treaty has allowed Israelis to travel freely to Bolivia without a visa since 1972.
Morales said the Gaza offensive shows "that Israel is not a guarantor of the principles of respect for life and the elementary precepts of rights that govern the peaceful and harmonious coexistence of our international community."

More than two weeks of fighting in Gaza have left 1,300 dead and 6,000 wounded amid an intense Israeli air and ground campaign in response to missile attacks by the Islamist militant group Hamas.
In the latest development, 16 people were killed after two Israeli shells slammed into a United Nations school, drawing international protests.
Bolivia broke off diplomatic relations with Israel in 2009 over a previous military operation in Gaza.

In mid-July, Morales filed a request with the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights to prosecute Israel for "crimes against humanity."

Is this really fair? You cannot poke a lion with a stick then act suprised when it bites of your arm.

This is interesting!

KOLO BENGOU, Guinea —

Eight youths, some armed with slingshots and machetes, stood warily alongside a rutted dirt road at an opening in the high reeds, the path to the village of Kolo Bengou.

The deadly Ebola virus is believed to have infected several people in the village, and the youths were blocking the path to prevent health workers from entering.
“We don’t want any visitors,” said their leader, Faya Iroundouno, 17, president of Kolo Bengou’s youth league. “We don’t want any contact with anyone.” The others nodded in agreement and fiddled with their slingshots.
Singling out the international aid group Doctors Without Borders, Mr. Iroundouno continued, “Wherever those people have passed, the communities have been hit by illness.”

Health workers here say they are now battling two enemies: the unprecedented Ebola epidemic, which has killed more than 660 peoplein four countries since it was first detected in March, and fear, which has produced growing hostility toward outside help. On Friday alone, health authorities in Guinea confirmed 14 new cases of the disease.
Workers and officials, blamed by panicked populations for spreading the virus, have been threatened with knives, stones and machetes, their vehicles sometimes surrounded by hostile mobs.

Log barriers across narrow dirt roads block medical teams from reaching villages where the virus is suspected. Sick and dead villagers, cut off from help, are infecting others.
“This is very unusual, that we are not trusted,” said Marc Poncin, the emergency coordinator in Guinea for Doctors Without Borders, the main group fighting the disease here. “We’re not stopping the epidemic.”
Efforts to monitor it are grinding to a halt because of “intimidation,” he said.

People appear to have more confidence in witch doctors.
Health officials say the epidemic is out of control, moving back and forth across the porous borders of Guinea and neighboring Sierra Leone and Liberia — often on the backs of the cheap motorcycles that ply the roads of this region of green hills and dense forest — infiltrating the lively open-air markets, overwhelming weak health facilities and decimating villages. It was in this rural area, 400 miles over bad roads from Guinea’s capital, Conakry, where the outbreak was first spotted, and where it has hit hardest. More than 80 percent of those infected have died in this region, and Guinea has recorded more than twice as many deaths as the other countries.

In Koundony, more than one-eighth of the population, including the headman, are dead; many others have fled.
There is no known cure for the virus, which causes raging fever, vomiting, diarrhea and uncontrolled bleeding in about half the cases and up to 90 percent of the time, rapid death. Merely touching an infected person, or the body of a victim, is dangerous; coming into contact with blood, vomit or feces can be deadly.

Now the fear of aid workers, principally from Doctors Without Borders and the Red Cross, is helping to spread the disease, health officials say, creating a secondary crisis. Villagers flee at the sight of a Red Cross truck. When a Westerner passes, villagers cry out, “Ebola, Ebola!” and run away.

This month, Doctors Without Borders classified 12 villages in Guinea as “red,” meaning they might harbor Ebola but were inaccessible for safety reasons.
As recently as April, the epidemic seemed to be under control. But in the past two weeks, its center appeared to have shifted across the border to Sierra Leone, where most of the new dead were being recorded. The sick are being hidden and the dead buried, without any protection.
Last week, the Sierra Leone Health Ministry reported that its lead doctor fighting Ebola had contracted the disease, and the virus had spread to a fourth country, with a confirmed fatality in Nigeria. Over the weekend, an aid organization working in Liberia, Samaritan’s Purse, said that two Americans, a doctor who was treating Ebola patients and an aid worker on a case management team, had tested positive for the virus. And the Liberian government said Sunday that one of its most high-profile doctors had died of Ebola, according to The Associated Press.
Back in Guinea, in the village of Wabengou, residents placed a tree in the road to block outsiders. They also attacked an official delegation from Conakry, rushing its cars, banging on the vehicles and brandishing machetes, according to Doctors Without Borders.
“We don’t want them in there at all,” said Wabengou’s chief, Marcel Dambadounou. “We don’t accept their presence at all. They are the transporters of the virus in these communities.”
He was surrounded by grim-looking men from Wabengou, standing at a crossroads on the way to his village; none of them demurred.
“We are absolutely afraid, and that’s why we are avoiding contact with everybody,” he said, “the whole world.”

Wtf?!

Funny but good question. I wondered for a while then I realised I actually really don't care.

Yes! Those doctors should know that no one is irreplaceable.

Good.

This is crazy!

Crazy!

Like how much can one get it? I need one too ASAP.

Jregz: number 1 would be great …………Kindly keep d topics coming
was asked to submit three,Only have two now

1.) Forensic Mycology

2.) Bacteriological assesment of water storage cans used by primary school students

Are you looking for a project topic or a seminar presentation topic?

The latter topic sounds nope like a project topic.

Jregz: found only one... my topic is actually "Forensic Mycology:: The future " http://membercentral.aaas.org/blogs/depth/investigating-future-forensics

The link doesn't talk much about Mycology.. I'll help you dig up my write up references, they should be of help..

Jregz: Can I get some links on forensic Mycology

I didn't particularly save the links. You can find them through Google. You should find updated articles.

Jibsonified: Guy... Update! There are bacteria that can survive that, biko!... Thermophilic ones for that matter... but sha they cant find their way to ur stew... except stew inside active volcanic mountain...so no fear

The same thing happens to the thermophilic ones when the soup cools down; they die off.

Keystone bank is always bullshitting. They shouldn't have sent me that useless result.

Okay

Sounds interesting. Will give it a try

Lol. A whooping $23 billion? How much is the company sef?

Animals

henryobinna: you gay?

I think its a good move for their growing economy. You don't want the world to be against you coz of the sentiments of sexuality of the popolace.

Good.

Noted.

I'll be damned if I click on that link. Post it here.

I think 1 is good for her. But I'm sure you won't wantu do that.

I've never really thought about it. Why do you think they don't eat it? Coz they don't eat it in front of you doesn't mean they don't though.

I love this dude. #nohomo.... I'm sure voting him. If APC are not careful, what happened in 2011 to Jonathan out of sentiments will happen again in Lagos..... Sentiments will win.
