Libyan migration department spokesman, said on Tuesday in Tripoli that no fewer than 100 bodies, presumably of sub-Saharan boat migrants, were washed up near the Libyan city of Tajoura. He said the bodies are believed to be victims of a shipwreck off the western coastal town, located some 10 kilometres east of Tripoli. Tajoura is known as a departure spot for Europe- bound boat migrants. The spokesman said women and children were said to be among the dead but authorities could not yet confirm the exact number of bodies found or their nationalities. He said the bodies were being sent to a Tripoli hospital. The spokesman said if the number of the dead was confirmed, it would be the biggest migrant tragedy since April 18, when 850 people perished in a single shipwreck off Libya. Meanwhile, the International Organisation for Migration, said 1,914 migrants have died in the Mediterranean since January 1, compared to 1,031 within the same period in 2014. The organisation said tragedies have become less frequent since May following a decision by EU leaders to expand search and rescue efforts.

This is for those single ladies who hate dating married men with passion. As for those single ladies who don't care, you can still look out for the following signs, so as for you to know if the man you're going out with is taken , in case he is pretending to be single.

1. If he don't pick your calls at odd hours. This is number one sign that the man is taken. in most of the cases , he will send you a text rather than having a conversation with you. if you see him the following day, you will hear things like I was in a meeting or fast asleep when you called.

2.If he is trying to make the relationship discreet. If your man prefer going out with you towards the evening time, if he is reluctant to show you to his friends, if he can't freely stroll around the neighborhood where he stays with you, chances are ,he is taken.

3.If he don't take you to his place. this is yet another important signal. If he prefer taking you to short time joint or a friend place, then, he may just be married.
How do you know if he takes you to a Friend place? just try to know few of his things; clothes, size of his shoes and other accessories. check out all this where ever he takes you., if they not there, it may be a borrowed venue.

4.Depending on how responsible and how much regards he has for his wife, if your man reject the offer of you spending the night with him, hmmmm! he is married. This is because men love puni so very much.

5.If he constantly fail to honour appointment, even when you are always willing to come see him,ir is another pointer towards the fact that he is not a freeman.

6.When he don't invite you to the church where he worship. whenever your man start speaking in tongues when you suggest coming to his place of worship to fellowship with him, don't mistake that for being filled with the holy spirit,he may be a married dude.
Add yours. men, bad belle is not allow.

Good football tho.

The Nigeria Football Federation has confirmed that
former Nigeria international Sunday Oliseh will
coach the Super Eagles with a team that will
include a Dutch as an assistant.
A manager close to Oliseh in Europe, who has full
knowledge of the talks between the NFF and Oliseh
in London, confirmed to The PUNCH on Wednesday
that the former Eagles captain had accepted the
job offer and would work with an assistant from
Europe.
He said, “I can confirm that Sunny (Oliseh) has
accepted the offer and he will be working with an
assistant coming down from Europe as well.”
On Wednesday, the NFF confirmed they were in
talks with the Belgium-based Nigerian to replace
Stephen Keshi, who was kicked out as Eagles
coach on Saturday. Oliseh met with NFF president
Amaju Pinnick and Austin Jay Jay Okocha in
London on Tuesday.
“An offer has been made, and there is an
understanding, but we have to work out the final
details of the agreement in a few days. Of course,
the Executive Board has to give approval for his
appointment based on the final terms to be
agreed,” Felix Anyansi-Agwu, Chairman of the NFF
Technical and Development Committee said on
Wednesday.
The NFF added that Oliseh would come with a
“foreign technical assistant, whose job description
will centre around development programmes, and
working with clubs’ youth teams and certified
academies towards developing the game from the
grassroots.
“Current stand-in coach Salisu Yusuf will also be
in the new team, but with greater devotion to the
home-based team, otherwise known as Super
Eagles B, and will be the interface between the
technical crew and the home boys.”
From the details of the package being finalised,
Oliseh is expected to come up with a five-year
developmental plan “to fashion a unique playing
and coaching philosophy for all the national teams,
and will for this purpose, interface regularly with
coaches of those teams.
“We are also looking at how he will periodically
organise clinics and seminars for coaches of clubs
in the Nigeria Professional Football League,
probably once in a month, so as to strengthen the
playing philosophy across board. A robust youth
development programme, elite player development
strategy and performance programmes to drive
higher standards, among other core sustainable
development programmes, are also part of the
proposal,” Anyansi-Agwu said.
NFF President Pinnick said, “Sunday Oliseh has
vast experience and immense knowledge of the
game, and will certainly add value to what we are
doing. He has bought into our vision and objectives
towards the development of Nigeria football. He
will command the respect of the players and we
trust he has the temperament to work
harmoniously with the Technical and Development
Committee, the Technical Directorate and the
Technical Study Group.
“On our part at the NFF, we will give him all the
support to succeed as we have been giving to all
our coaches. Subject to the approval of the NFF
Executive Committee, we will conclude
negotiations by weekend and he will be unveiled
next week.”

With the recent spate of arrest and subsequent arraignment in court of former public officials, by the anti graft body. would you say the EFCC as a body have finally risen to their constitutional duty? If yes., what do you think is responsible for this recent development?
Can we say it is part of the promised change?

mod, pls. help move it to the appropriate section.

– A 26-year-old woman in Zambia’s Luwingu district has given birth to pure hair, according to the Luwingu District Medical Officer, Dr Ernest Mutale. The Zambia National Information Services (ZANIS) on Wednesday reported the woman had been 10 months pregnant and she gave birth to pure hair and a little blood. According to Dr Mutale, the woman, a Ms. Mwape, was referred to Luwingu District Hospital from Chikoyi rural health centre after she gave birth to something that looked like Brazilian hair. Mutale explained that Mwape is a mother of two children and this bizarre pregnancy was her third. He said that after a medical check-up, Mwape narrated that she was feeling as though the pregnancy was normal as she would feel the baby kicking in her womb. The Luwingu District Medical Officer said that Mwape attended ante-natal regularly but her medical records showed that there were no irregular movements. He said that the medical team suspected Mwape had a molar pregnancy but after several medical check-ups results showed that it was not. Report says Mwape is still admitted to Luwingu District Hospital waiting further medical check-ups.

HIV, or human immunodeficiency virus, is the
retrovirus that leads to acquired immunodeficiency
syndrome or AIDS. Globally, about 35 million
people are living with HIV, which constantly adapts
and mutates creating challenges for researchers.
Now, scientists at the University of Missouri are
gaining a clearer idea of what a key protein in HIV
looks like, which will help explain its vital role in
the virus’ life cycle. Armed with this clearer image
of the protein, researchers hope to gain a better
understanding of how the body can combat the
virus with the ultimate aim of producing new and
more effective antiviral drugs.
In recent years, scientists have used various
techniques to determine the structure of the capsid
protein, which is the building block of an inner shell
of HIV. Until now, the clearest image had been of a
mutated protein. Stefan Sarafianos, an associate
professor of molecular microbiology and
immunology and the Chancellor’s Chair of
Excellence in molecular virology in the University
of Missouri School of Medicine, and his team
captured long sought detailed images of the capsid
protein in its natural state.
“The capsid shell acts as an ‘invisibility cloak’ that
hides the virus’ genetic information, the genome,
while it is being copied in a hostile environment for
the virus,” said Sarafianos, who also holds an
appointment in the Department of Biochemistry in
the College of Agriculture, Food and Natural
Resources and serves as a researcher at the Bond
Life Sciences Center. “Fine-tuned capsid stability
is critical for successful infection: too stable a
capsid shell and the cargo is never delivered
properly; not stable enough and the contents are
detected by our immune defenses, triggering an
antiviral response. Capsid stability is a key to the
puzzle, and you have to understand its structure to
solve it.”
Sarafianos and his team created the most
complete model yet of an HIV capsid protein. The
research team used a technique called X-ray
crystallography to unravel the protein’s secrets. By
taking many copies of the protein, they coaxed
them into forming a patterned, crystalline lattice
(see photo).
“With X-ray crystallography, the biggest challenge
is to get protein crystals of good quality that will
allow researchers to accurately study the protein,”
said Anna Gres, an MU graduate student in the
Department of Chemistry and first author of the
study. “Sometimes this process can take years,
but by using advanced techniques, we were able to
cut that down considerably.”
Next they shot high-powered X-ray beams at the
crystal. By interpreting how the X-rays scattered
when they ricocheted off the proteins, the
researchers made a 3-D map of the protein. “But
the 3-D map doesn’t make sense until we make an
atomic model of the protein to fit in that map,” said
Karen Kirby, a research scientist at Bond LSC and
co-author of the study. “The map is just a grid that
you can’t really interpret unless you put a model
into it to see ‘Ok, it looks like this part is here, and
that part is there, and this is how the protein is put
together.’”
Gres constructed the model, which surprisingly
revealed “ordered” water molecules at areas
between the viral proteins.

Do you think the 24 months warranty place on Samsung products is borne out of genuine love for the consumers or a mere marketing strategy to hoodwink the members of the public?
the ugly experience I am currently having with Samsung service centre give rise to this question .so far, plus or minus, my device have spent about 2-3months and still counting ,with them.
please
What do I do to get my device back.?
