Isn't it wonderful one?

Zimbabwe's 90-year-old President Robert Mugabe
fell down a staircase on Wednesday as he walked
off a podium after addressing supporters at Harare
international airport, an AFP correspondent said.
He had just returned from Ethiopia where he took
over the rotating chairmanship of the African Union.
Africa's oldest leader, who turns 91 later this month,
had concluded his homecoming speech when he
tumbled to his knees on a short flight of stairs in an
incident witnessed by journalists and hundreds of
supporters.


He was quickly helped up by aides and walked to a
waiting car.
Mugabe took over the post of African Union
chairman on Friday, replacing Mauritania's
President Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz.
In his speech, Mugabe said he felt honoured that
Zimbabwe was elected chair of the AU, pledging to
use his position to push for development in the
continent.
"The AU must be the engine of development in
Africa. We should be the engine of development in
Africa," Mugabe said.
"We want real progress to be achieved to develop
all our countries."
He said "no African country" opposed Zimbabwe's
elevation to lead the organisation.
The former liberation war hero is Africa's third-
longest serving leader.
He was met at the airport by a group of cheering
supporters who raised placards with messages of
support.
"Your greatness resonates across Africa and
beyond" read one card.
The leader also used the opportunity to lambast
Kenya's President Uhuru Kenyatta for appearing
before the International Criminal Court (ICC), when
the AU had advised him against it.
"I told him that you will make your father's soul feel
ashamed. We don't want to hear that again."
Kenyatta, the son of Kenya's founding president
Jomo Kenyatta, was accused of crimes against
humanity for his alleged role in the violence that
followed the country's disputed presidential election
seven years ago.
The charges against him were later withdrawn

Microsoft already shown the first look of Windows
10 operating system on Tuesday at San Francisco.
Microsoft promised an OS that will be more intuitive
for the millions of workers still on Windows 7 and
older OSes. It will span all hardware from PCs to
phones and try to address the ills that have dogged
Windows 8.
Here are 10 things you need to know about
Windows 10:
-
1. Why Windows 10?
-
The natural name would have been Windows 9, but
Microsoft is eager to suggest a break with the past.
“We’re not building an incremental product,” said
Terry Myerson, head of Microsoft’s Operating
Systems Group.
Microsoft considered the name “Windows One,” he
said, to match products like OneNote and OneDrive
and its “One Microsoft” business strategy. But he
noted the name was snagged a long time ago, by a
young Bill Gates.
Perhaps Microsoft didn’t like the idea of being
numerically one step behind Apple’s OS X.
Whatever the reason, Windows 10 it will be.
“ “When you see the product in its fullness, I
think you’ll agree it’s an appropriate name for
the breadth of the product family that’s
coming,” Myerson said.
-
2. What devices will it run on?
-
All of them. Microsoft demonstrated only the
desktop version Tuesday, but Windows 10 will be
for tablets, smartphones and embedded products,
too.
-
3. Is there a start menu?
-
There is, and it tries to combine the familiarity of
Windows 7 with the modern interface of Windows 8.
That means the menu is split: On the left, apps are
displayed in the familiar Windows 7 style, while on
the right are more colorful “live tiles” that open the
modern, Windows 8-style apps.
The start menu is customizable, so you can resize
the tiles and move them around, and make the start
menu tall and thin or long and flat.
-
4. Is there a Command Prompt?
-
You’re kidding, right? Well, actually there is.
Microsoft showed how it now supports shortcuts
like CTRL+C and CTRL+V so you can paste in a
directory listing from another app, for instance.
Belfiore called it a “niche, geeky feature” but said he
wanted to show the diverse range of users the OS
is trying to support.
-
5. What car does it resemble?
-
Microsoft came up with a car analogy. It wants you
to think of Windows 10 as a Tesla.
"Yesterday, they were driving a first-gen
Prius, and when they got Windows 10 they
didn’t have to learn to drive something new,
but it was as if we got them a Tesla,”
Myerson said.
“It will run on the broadest types of devices ever,
from the smallest ‘Internet of things’ device to
enterprise data centers worldwide,” Myerson said.
“Some of these devices have 4-inch screens, and
some will have 80-inch screens. And some don’t
have any screen at all.”
-
6. Will I still toggle between two distinct app
environments?
-
Apparently not. In Windows 8, when you launch a
modern-style app, it takes you into that modern UI,
and when you launch a Win32-style app, it
launches to the traditional desktop environment.
In Windows 10, “we don’t want that duality,” said
Joe Belfiore, a corporate vice president with the OS
group. “We want users on PCs with mice and
keyboards to have their familiar desktop UI—a task
bar and a start menu. And regardless of how an app
was written or distributed to your machine, it works
the way you expect.”
-
7. So how does it look now?
-
If you launched one of the new-style apps in
Windows 8, it filled the whole screen and there
weren’t many options to resize it. With Windows 10,
the familiar “windows” metaphor is back; you’ll be
able to resize the new-style apps and drag them
around the screen like an old Win32 app.
Conversely, if you’re using an older Win32-style
app, it will be able to “snap into place” and fill all the
available screen space just like the modern apps.
-
8. What else is new?
-
Some users have been confused by the Windows 8
interface and can’t figure out what’s open on their
screen or how to get back to an app. Windows 10
has a feature like OS X’s Mission Control that lets
you zoom out and see everything that’s open on a
PC, then select any app to enter it.
You can also have multiple desktop configurations
open and switch between them. So if you have two
apps on the screen for a particular task, sized just
how you want them, and then you change to some
other apps, you’ll be able to get back to those first
apps easily without having to resize them again.
You can navigate through several of these desktop
displays at the bottom of the screen.
-
9. Will it still be touch-enabled?
-
Yes. “We’re not giving up on touch,” Belfiore said.
That means you’ll still be able to use touch to do
things like scroll and pinch-to-zoom on laptops and
desktops.
There’s also a new feature, tentatively called
“continuum,” for people using two-in-one PCs.
When you detach the keyboard from a Windows 10
hybrid, it will ask if you want to go into tablet mode.
If you say yes, the UI changes to better match a
tablet. The app expands to full screen, for instance,
and the start menu switches into a larger-icon
mode.
-
10. When will it be released and How will it be
priced?
-
The OS will launch around the middle of next year,
after Microsoft’s Build conference. Before that, a
select group of “Windows insiders” will receive a
“technical preview build” for laptops and desktops
on Wednesday this week, followed “soon after” by a
preview for servers. Previews of other device
categories will follow later.

In past ten years the use of mobile phones has
increased tremendously, especially smartphones.
This rise has in turn fueled the grow of mobile
phone to heights that were at some point in time
seemed impossible, take for example the internet
who in the world would have ever thought that you
could travel all over the entire world simply by
touch your phone, amazing. The question on
everybody mind is what will the future hold in store,
but that is a topic for another day, for today you get
to know change that have marked mobile phone
technology for the last ten years.

In 2005 Nokia N92 made Mobile TV possible.
-----------_--_-
This was actually done in South Korea. It was
possible when the Koreans made headway driven
by improvements in the quality of screens. The
clarity of the screens made the pictures more
visible and thus watchable on the small mobile
screens. This was followed by the launch of satellite and terrestrial mobile TV services
--------------
In 2006 Samsung B600 the first 10 megapixel
camera for mobile phones was invented.
-------------
The Samsung made the first 10 MP cameras, unlike the previous years where producer could only make phones that would produce very low resolution pictures. Possibly the emblematic resolution that puts the mobile phone camera at the same level with digital camera was the 10 MP.
--------------
In 2006 Ben Q Siemens S88 the First ever mobile
phone with an OLED Display
-------_--_--
Abbreviated as AMOLED was a very important
stepping stone in mobile phone display because it
gave the user the ease of watching and viewing
both video and still images on mobile phones. Apart
from that it also used less battery power. Later on
Samsung through the Samsung S8500 introduce the
first phones to use screens with super AMOLED
display, it had 0.001mm of layer for touch sensor
and which by coincidence enriched the display.
May 2007 LG Prada First mobile with a capacitive
touchscreen
The LG Prada touchscreen phone was as result of
LG hard work and effort. The launch at that time
was one of a kind and which marked the birth of the
touch screen phone era. The LG Prada had four
icons all found at the bottom, which were used to
make and receive phone call, send messages and
go to the main menu. They were also other bottoms
found at the side, they was used to control the
volume and the camera.

this was 5 years after the creation of the first 3
dimension mobile phone screen. The camera had
1.3 megapixels that came along with a dual lens and
2.2 inch screen for the Samsung SCH-B710.
In 2007 the unveiling of apple iPhone OS
IOS was created and developed by Apple Inc. was
specifically meant for Apple hardware. It officially
was launched in 2007 and would later on power all
of apple’s devices including tablets and pads.
-
In 2008 T-Mobile G1 Smartphone and the
introduction of the Android Operating System
-
November 2007 saw the formation of the open
handset alliance by thirty-four companies that
pledged to introduce tech that would be used
worldwide. Rival firms come together in support of
Google android development project …all fueled by
the announcement and release of the tremendously
successful Apple iPhone 2G in June 2007.
After apple’s release the Android operating system
moved rapidly from incubation to the market. In
June 2008 T-Mobile declared the G1 and which
was followed by the installation of the android 1.0
on mobile phones.
-
In 2010 Symbian
-
Symbian OS was officially unveiled in 2010 as the
replacement of UIQ and OS6 that were first used for
Nokia handsets. A year later in 2011 a replacement
was created for the Symbian OS the Symbian Anna
was introduced followed closely by Nokia Belle in
August the same year.
-
In 2010 the first mobile phone with an in built
projector was introduced, the Samsung Beam I8520

-
The projector has been built on a high end
smartphone and gives off WVGA image quality. In
case you are wondering what WVGA is, this is a
wider screen version with a higher resolution. It
does not produce the best quality video or pictures
but truth be told is really innovative. That being said
they is still more room for improvement perhaps in
the near future Samsung or some other firm will
come up will a upgraded type.
-
In 2012 41MP camera to advance camera phone th Nokia 808 Pure view
-
Nokia has really done it this time round, with the
introduction of the Nokia 808. The 808 is definitely
Nokia’s effort to distinguish itself in an otherwise
full smartphone market. The reviews about this
mobile phone were crazy.
-
The World’s first mobile with built in radiation
monitor the Sharp Pantone 5 107SH
-
Can you recall the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant
tragedy? Radiation was released into the
atmosphere and the citizen became very frustrated
by the government since it could not provide
accurate information about the hazard that existed.
Then the need for a device that would measure
radiation arose this in turn gave birth to the sharp
pantone smart phone that could actually measure
radiation. The smartphone can display the
measurements at the touch of a button.
-
In 2014 the Amazon Fire Taking Image Recognition
Software to its next level
-
The Amazon Fire is filled with many innovations but
only one that stands out from the rest, the use of
image recognition technology. But what is a leap
forward is integrating an excellence camera, one
touch button, picture recognition processing done
back in the Cloud with a data base of 33 million
books, videos, music tracks and magazines for
sale.

In todays date, Facebook is the most popular social
networking site one would come across. From kids, to oldies, Facebook is the talk around everywhere.
User id’s are vulnerable to being hacked by many,
with various ways they find. And so here are some
measures you could take to keep your account safe from them.

Save your e-mail address :

– Keep you email id hidden from everyone. Go to
my profile, and personal i formation, and let you id
be visible to only you.
-Remove all your email addresses, and change the
primary one as the one which is only known to you.
– For additional safety, use the secure browsing
and send an email when logged into from another
browser option active.
Phishing is the easiest way to trick users from
logging in to the fake websites created. It takes just
a few codes and a url, and some measures to not
be detected as a fake one. Prevent yourself from
phishing by some basic measures.
To keep safe, never click in random urls, for they
might be a spam. Always use Facebook’s
homepage for logging in. Always use safe search.
Report sites you find fishy.

Keyloggers :

Keylogger is a virus that can be installed into your
computer by a cracker, and keep a track of all the
activities happening in there. It can be done
remotely, and even more easily if the cracker has
personal access to the system.
To prevent keylogging, never click on fishy
websites. Avoid use of pirated software’s, and tool
bars that come for free. Use a strong antivirus, and
keep a regular check on your system. Always make sure that the USB devices and other flash drives being used in your computer are secure.

Social engineering:

Social engineering could involve any trick that could fool you into giving out your personal details. From your security questions in general discussion to mails that could be a spam, ir somebody from
Facebook asking you to change your personal
Facebook details to the one stated by them. Its all
just a spam.

BE AWARE.
To prevent yourself from being fooled in such tricks say cautious all the time. Keep security question to which answers would remain confided to only yourself. Nobody from facebook would ever ask you to change your password or other personal details.
Always remain extra careful, for such hackers are
just around the corner searching for anybody they
could victimize.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Lagos
State expressed their fears of the redeployment of
the controversial police officer Joseph Mbu to Zone
2 in the state. The Police High Command Tuesday
announced the removal of Umar Manko who was
redeployed to National Institute Of Strategic Studies
((NIPSS), Kuru, Jos, Plateau State while Mbu who
once called himself ‘controversial man’ took over
from him. Force Public Relations Officer, Emmanuel
Ojukwu, who announced the deployment that
affected 28 AIGs, said the postings were part of the
on-going re-organisation in the Force. Spokesman
for APC in Lagos, Mr. Joe Igbokwe at a press
briefing in Alausa, Ikeja criticized the Federal
government for redeploying Mbu to Lagos. Igbokwe
in his comment expressed the hope that Mr. Mbu
was not redeployed to for organizing the political
hatchet of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) in the forthcoming polls. In his words, “Mbu
must understand clearly that this is Lagos. Since
Lagos was created in 1967, it has been in the hands
of progressives. This is a special state where the
best minds live. This is the city of civil societies and
the media. We know his antecedents and if he
brings all those his unbecoming behavior to Lagos,
we will retire him from the Police.” “Mbu is known
for some kind of jobs so, it is not in doubt that those
who sent him to Lagos brought him for a mission,
we are watching, so before they make any move,
we know where they are going. We boldly welcome
Mbu to Lagos but he should tread carefully.” “We
know he is not coming to do normal police routine
duties, but we will advise him to drop all those
excess baggage he exhibited in Port Harcourt. He
was rejected in Rivers, so if he comes here to
abuse a sitting governor, we will not take it from
him. Governor Fashola is the Chief Security Officer
of the state and if he abuses him, we will run him
down. We will tell him that this is the city of both the
electronic and the print media.”

Complicated relationships = a complicated life, and
most people would take simplicity over complexity
any day. If you have wondered how to simplify your
relationships, look no further than these tips to help
you out!

33 Ways to uncomplicate Your Relationships stay true to yourself. Be honest with who you are and what kind of life you want to live. By living with integrity, it allows the right people to come into your
life, and helps you become your best self.

1. Share your flaws with your significant other: Your
flaws don’t define you, but others will feel more
comfortable with them once you begin to accept
them yourself.

2. Simplify yourself: Align your thoughts, actions, and
words, and your life will automatically become
simpler. Be you, all the way through.

3. Don’t seek approval from anyone but you. Be
confident in your ability to discern bad choices from
good ones, and remember that only you can
determine the right path for your life.

4.Practice self-love, self-care, and self-respect.
Before anyone else can care for you, love you, and
respect you, you must give all of these things to
yourself.

5. Observe yourself without judgement. Next time you
feel inferior, try to look at the situation from a
neutral point of view. Don’t be so hard on yourself –
everyone is human, and everyone makes mistakes.

6. Feel comfortable with your partner having friends of
the opposite sex. Even if it might make you slightly
jealous for them to hang out with other guys or girls,
let them have freedom to hang out with who they
want. Time apart makes for fonder hearts, too.
Give up your need to have the last word. You can’t
always be right, so don’t try. Sometimes, silence
really does speak louder than words.

7. Show unabashed love. Love freely, and open your
heart to others. Let small acts of kindness or
affection show your partner how much he or she
means to you.

8. Always follow your heart. No one knows you better
than you do, so honor your soul and what it wants
for you. It will always have your best interest in
mind.

9. Be independent, but not too independent. Take help
when it’s offered; you don’t have to do everything
alone.

10. Accept others for who they are. Don’t try to mold
others into what you think they should be; instead,
love them exactly the way they are.

11. Have open communication with your partner. Talk
about problems, fears, insecurities, dreams, doubts,
funny memories, and everything in between. Your
partner should be your best friend who you can
come to with anything, so don’t hide your feelings or
thoughts from them.

12. Don’t blow problems out of proportion. Talk about
things rationally with your partner, and the problem
will likely get solved a lot quicker.

13. Practice minimalism. Only keep things that you
absolutely need; a simple life gives way to simpler
relationships.

14. Explore spirituality personally and with your
partner. While a spiritual journey is a personal one,
invite your partner to meditate or go to Reiki
sessions with you. This will strengthen your
relationship and open up a whole new door of
exploration for you two.

15. Love without expectations. Love is not a
competition; it moves freely through each of us, and
we can make this world a much more beautiful
place by offering our love regardless of what it can
give to us.

16. Appreciate other people. Tell them and show them
that you notice their positive attributes, and that you
value who they are as a person.

17. Be proud of yourself. Take pride in your
accomplishments and your character; you’ve come
a long way in life and deserve your own attention
and recognition for it.

18. Listen more, talk less. Be a listening ear for others;
you might be the only person in their life that listens
to them.

19. Practice gratitude. Remain thankful, through the
good and the bad. There’s always a lesson within
every experience in life.

20. Try not to complain. Complaining only lowers your
energy levels; try to see the silver lining in the
clouds, and take it as an important lesson learned.

21. Talk calmly and honestly. Don’t let your emotions
get the best of you – always try to speak from a
place of love and understanding.

22. Compliment your partner. Show him or her that you
notice that new outfit or haircut, or that you’re proud
of their hard work.

23. Be mindful of your actions. What you do usually
affects more people than just yourself, so keep that
in mind when you make big decisions in your life.

24. Remind yourself that you’re beautiful, inside and
out. Give yourself love, always. Don’t be so critical
of yourself; love who you are, where you are,
exactly HOW you are.

25. Let go of past pain. It helped shape your character,
but it doesn’t have to stick with you your whole life.


26. Let your guard down. Bring down your walls so
others can get inside.

27. Support each other’s goals. Encourage one another
to go beyond yourselves and reach for your wildest
dreams.

28. Be there for one another, always. Help each other
out when you need it, and offer support when
necessary.

29. Let your partner grow in whatever way they need
to. Even if it means you have to grow apart for a
while, let them walk their journey however they see
fit.

30. Try new things together. Getting out of your comfort
zone will actually make your life simpler, because it
will help you get rid of any fears you may have
about the world.

31. Let aside time each day for relaxation. Drop out of
the fast pace of the world for a while, and just take
pleasure in some good old-fashioned R&R.

32. Live in the now. Now is the only time we really
have; live fully in the present.

33. Have simple dates, like picnics. Enjoy nature and
simpler foods. Relish in the outdoors and the
freedom it can bring from time to time.

Am introvert

Introversion and extroversion are two different
personality types. Based off of the theories of Carl
Jung, the two personality preferences are based on
where you focus your attention and direct your
energy . The two personality types are classified as
preferences because nearly everyone spends at
least some time in their secondary “mode.”
A small minority of people spend a roughly equal
amount of time introverting and extroverting; these
interesting folks are known as “ambiverts.”
However, the personality of most people can be
classified into one of the two main types.
The differences in personality types result from
how our brains are wired and the variances in brain
chemistry. Our environment can also influence how
much we alter between types.
The brains of introverts and extroverts are
activated (aroused) under different circumstances.
Extroverts require more stimulation from the
outside world, which is where these individuals gain
their energy. Introverts are stimulated internally and
quickly deplete their energy with too much social
interaction.
Here is the basic breakdown of Extroversion from
the Myers & Briggs Foundation, administrators of
the infamous Myers-Briggs Typology Indicator
(MBTI) test. According to Myers & Briggs,
extroverts:
- Get their energy from active involvement in
events and various activities.
- Are excited and are energized around other
people.
- Prefer to take action first and think later.
- Are often seen as “outgoing” or as a “people
person.”
- Have a wide range of friends and know many
people.
- Are often seen as great motivators who inspire
those they are around.
- Often dive into a project, hoping to figure out the
details as they go along.
Terms that are often used when describing
extroverts include:
Sociable; warm; friendly; happy; enthusiastic;
inclusive; aggressive; forthright; impulsive; thrill-
seeker; interactive; engaging; open; charismatic;
networker; attention-seeker; energetic; risk-taker
In general, extroversion is viewed more positively
in Western society than elsewhere. The reason for
this is that extroverts outnumber introverts by
about 3 to 1 in the United States and a few
European countries. This number drops significantly
as you move eastward from the U.S. on a map.
Extroverts also have higher levels of subjective
happiness than introverts do; often displaying more
positive, outward emotions. This group is well
known for making people feel welcome,
comfortable, and cared for. Because of this
disposition, extroverts make excellent managers,
coaches, leaders, politicians, counselors and
teachers.
Famous extroverts include:
– Bill Clinton, 42 nd President of the United States
– Margaret Thatcher, Britain’s first female Prime
Minister
– Michael Jordan, Basketball great and Hall of
Fame inductee
– Boris Yeltsin, Russian president from 1990 to
2000
– Muhammad Ali, former professional boxer and 3-
time heavyweight champion
– Winston Churchill, British Prime Minister and
Nobel Prize winner
– George W. Bush, 43 rd President of the United
States
– Oscar Wilde, famous Playwright
– Martin Luther King Jr., Civil rights activist
– Oprah Winfrey, famous talk show host and
philanthropist
According the Myers & Briggs Foundation introverts:
- Get their energy from ideas, pictures, memories
and other thoughts
- Energy is quickly depleted by socializing too
much.
- Prefer to take reflect first and take action later.
- Are often seen as “reflective” or “reserved.”
- Have a smaller circle of friends, but have deeper
relationships.
- Often spend too much time reflecting; sometimes
regretting not “taking action” sooner.
- Often lay out a project in detail before diving in.
Terms that are often used when describing
introverts include:
Reflective; reserved; quiet; aloof; shy; creative;
thoughtful; risk-averse; individualistic; lone-wolf;
idea-producer; introspective; deep; listener;
methodical; solitude-seeker; planner; conflict-
averse
Introverts are the minority in Western society
(especially in the United States) and as a result
often feel out of place. In other parts of the world,
especially in Asia, introverts constitute the majority.
Other countries with a significant introverted
population include: Austria, Belgium, Czech
Republic, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Sweden, and
Switzerland.
Due to the common misconceptions of introverts,
they are not generally seen as a “happy” group.
However, introverts are “happy” – just under
different circumstances. Too much social
interaction drains introverts of their relatively limited
energy supply, while solitude and quiet
environments recharge them – the exact opposite
of their extroverted counterparts.
Because of their ability to work independently,
meticulous attention to detail, and ability to
concentrate for long durations of time, introverts
often make great scientists, writers, engineers,
architects, librarians and analysts.
Famous introverts include:
– Abraham Lincoln, 16th President of the United
States
– Albert Einstein, renowned theoretical physicist;
developed theory of relativity
– Barack Obama, 44th and current President of the
United States
– Mahatma Gandhi, leader of Indian independence
movement
– Charles Darwin, founder of the theory of evolution
– Rosa Parks, African-American Civil Rights activist
– Warren Buffett, business magnate, investor and
philanthropist
– Joe DiMaggio, former Yankee and Hall of Fame
baseball player
– Edgar Allen Poe, famous author and poet
– Vladimir Putin, current President of Russia
As clearly seen, introverts and extroverts have very
diverse personalities. There is no “right” or “wrong”
personality type – just different. Your brain and
environment both shape the tendency to lean
towards one end of the spectrum, with the strongest
influence being the chemical makeup of your brain.
Researchers have concluded that there is no
significant difference in intelligence or ability.
Despite the misconceptions that each type may or
may not have about the other, both types of have
important roles to play in society, at home, and in
the workplace.

Buhari's Campaign Suffers Major Setback in Delta.
The Campaign train of the former Nigerian Military
dictator, Pa Buhari was visibly shocked in Delta state as only 986 people attended Buhari's rally in Warri.
The empty stadium was associated to non-existence of the opposition party, APC presence in Delta state.
Some of the people that attended the rally complained that the people that attended the Buhari rally in Rivers state were paid between N5,000 to N10,000 and the
APC leaders want to "use" their head.
