mrs lecturer: Mine is now working. I guess it was on page 1 someone mentioned that we should turn on d wireless hotspot and it will come on. I did just that and 3G came on and I started browsing. After about 10mins I eturned off hotspot and I hav been browsing since then with my bis plan. U can give it a try.

A machine that takes sweat-laden clothes and turns the moisture into drinking water is in use in Sweden.

The device spins and heats the material to remove the sweat, and then passes the vapour through a special membrane designed to only let water molecules get through.

Since its Monday launch, its creators say more than 1,000 people have "drunk other's sweat" in Gothenburg.

They add the liquid is cleaner than local tap water.

The device was built for the United Nation's child-focused charity Unicef to promote a campaign highlighting the fact that 780 million people in the world lack access to clean water.

The machine was designed and built by engineer Andreas Hammar, known locally for his appearances on TV tech show Mekatronik.

He said the critical part of the sweat machine was a new water purification component developed by a company named HVR in collaboration with Sweden's Royal Institute of Technology.

"It uses a technique called membrane distillation," he told the BBC.

"We use a substance that's a bit like Goretex that only lets steam through but keeps bacteria, salts, clothing fibres and other substances out.

"They have something similar on the [International] Space Station to treat astronaut's urine - but our machine was cheaper to build.

"The amount of water it produces depends on how sweaty the person is - but one person's T-shirt typically produces 10ml [0.3oz], roughly a mouthful."

The kit has been put on show at the Gothia Cup - the world's largest international youth football tournament.

Mattias Ronge, chief executive of Stockholm-based advertising agency Deportivo - which organised the stunt - said the machine had helped raise awareness for Unicef, but in reality had its limitations.

networkgenuis: Calm down guys.
There's no need of being unnecessarily jumpy about this issue.
I know many people will go nuts if MTN stops their BIS from working on Android, because for now they offer the best deal.
For economic reasons, MTN isn't stopping it for now.
They are experiencing some problems which started 2 weeks ago.

illicit: do God frown at d fact that u use ur ipad tp watch pornography and then u have and use a bible on the same device? aint that disrespectful?

akereconfi: Hmmmmm fake news.....stewped journalism. My flight departed PH airport tu Lag by 11:30......all what was goin on were women dressed in uniform and some guys playing DRUM.... They were welcoming Amaechi.... That's what one of the women said. I wonder were police cum dey support dem from o

Odenigbo Aroli: Nze and mazi are two different thing; Nze is anybody who has taken the Ozo noble title and only then can you be addressed as "Onye Nze" or "Nze". Deme.

Mazi_Omenuko: Nope, but I'm Abian, and I believe (I might be wrong) that the term mazi is predominant among the igbos of Abia/imo. It can be used as a synonym for 'elder'; just like the Anambra/Enugu uses Nze and ozor.

Like someone pointed out, the Ngwa people uses mazi as a form of greeting to an elderly person.

I don't know if there's an official title called 'mazi' but I know the term is used loosely to indicate 'elder'.

mooninsun: What for? When people are given good job that will fetch then money which will enhance their living standard,they will never think of committing crime that will now require government to be spending much on security

Standing5: What happened to Emeagweali Philip? - the real father of the internet.

Oxygenmayo: On a more frank note...you're reading your virtual bible on a BB, say you're meditating on it as obliged; and you got a ping..tell me won't you be distracted?

Or better still, you have your holy book on your phone..and on it you keep explicit photography..is that sacred anyone?

richt75: its called holly book, not holly ipad,pad or holly samsung galaxy etc. use your inner sense to know the truth. no logic in the things of the spirit/God.

bakynes: SS and SE pple na wa for una o,Just because this man and his wife are from your side, you prefer to shy away from the truth.Nw let me analyse the topic on ground,in a true democratic system, it is wrong for soldiers to be guarding anybdy for that matter.We understand there is abuse of power in Nigeria, obviously seen everyday from all corridors of power.But for soldiers to be guarding a guest house or Hotel under renovation is very wrong,which am sure is a whole Battalion.Someone just shed light, that soldiers guard Ajumobi,which means soldiers guard every other Governors of d federation,so why must the presidency withdraw the soldiers guarding Govenor Amaechi? Jonathan shld pls caution this woman.we don't even hear or see the first ladies of a lot of countries except for their philantropic activities bt our own is involved in Politics of her home state and abusing power from an office which is nt even recognized in our constitution.

thickhabbey: There's no way one would cast out demon with an ipad that has so many illicit pictures, 'Mojo' and so many devilish contents. You can ask urself Do I only have the holy bible on my device?

Billionaires: Wole Soyinka of Pyrates Confraternity, he founded a cult that is responsible for murdering of thousands of Nigerian students.

Billionaires: Wole Soyinka worships Sango! How can you say you are educated but you worship idols ? It shows that Wole Soyinka is just a grammarian but not truly educated.

Billionaires: Wole Soyinka, worked for the military junta, and is guilty of giving the military legitimacy.

carzola: close your sha-coal teeth, soyinka should go and look into his own state and leave rivers alone... Ameachi is a failure, and patience is a beautiful and hard working 1st landy we voted them in so lets alow them perform.

slap1: Patience cannot even understand a stanza of Soyinka's easiest poems, yet she runs her illiterate, 'umbleralistic', sewage-pit of a mouth at him. Even in death, Stella Obasanjo is a better First Lady than that pumped-up frog called Patience.

tunexad: Na wa ooo, it once happened in Rivers, now its in Lagos, hope it wnt spread truout d 36states, even dough Rapture is going 2 b by burning, we sudnt start it ourselves, we sud just wait 4 God.

mastersr95: Age doesnt have anything to do with this... The truth is if you are ''RICH'' you wont have time to be on here posting topics unless you are a blogger or something like that. Take it or leave thats just the truth.

mastersr95: Lool i'm actually laughing right now, The reason why i comment on your post is because i know people like you. I have alot of liars like you in uk. i make thousand of pounds in a week but i can honestly tell you is the source of the money. i know few people that are contractors and are living fine, but i know hundreds of people that go overdraft before the next payday.

I have alot of friend that live with me cuz they are homeless and cant got back to Nigeria, My point is over 80% of people living abroad are not really enjoying as people in Naija thought they are. they all managing.

And for you, you claim you make millions of dollars with a genuine job and you always on Nairaland posting topics and stuffs? lol. who are you lying to? The only way you can have time for Nairaland like you do is if you own your own business. which i can bet with my life you dont cuz i know people like you. Fake people.

mastersr95: Sorry everyone...i just get irritated by people like this guy, just coz you have a fast internet doesn't mean you should come and be posting lies on here and mislead people... I read one of his post that he was talking about giving his brother 3million naira to start up a business in Nigeria. You want to give someone #3,000,000? $18,000 ? £12,000? How long have you been in US? what do you for a living?

Ofcourse you can make that money in a short time if you selling drugs or doing Yahoo Yahoo which you should be ready to go to jail if you get caught. But saying you doing a decent job and wants to give someone 3 million naira? Without knowing who you are, I'm confidently saying you are lying. unless you do one of the job i mention above.

Please people like you have mislead people like me already, Don't corrupt the next generation with your lies. any kid on here that see you talking about giving out 3 million naira might start thinking life is sweet in abroad. Maybe you need to say the kind of job you do when you make comment on here.
