DAPO however has a woman on the side, SUSAN, and he is having unprotected sex with her because she's a decent lady, besides that's the only person other than his wife, he's having sex with, so he tells himself he is safe because its only two women..and he trusts them. Decent Susan has her man, IK who means the world to her and she is having unprotected sex with him because that's the man she intends to marry. She tells herself she is safe because she only has two men, Dapo a married man and IK.... But IK has an outside woman named CHICHI a young "good" undergrad he's also considering to marry, and he is having unprotected sex with her because to him Susan is faithful so he tells himself its only two women he is having sex with so it cant hurt him. CHICHI on the other hand has no personal man, just friends or lecturers who assist her "ministry". Also when she has urges and IK ain't around. Do you see where this is going? Everyone thinks that they are safe when in fact they are so unsafe & at risk. If u agree wit me on this, Join the Fight Against HIV/AIDS/STDs Virus! It all starts with you. You can either be with only ur bf/gf or ABSTAIN & if your married be CONTENTED & DISCPLINED or teach your spouse to be that which u long for outside e.g bedmatic techniques, dressing etc... More importantly keeping open lines of COMMUNICATION goes a long way!! |

It’s very sad that the perpetrator of this act is a Reverend: The Principal of Ajuwon Senior High School in Ifo Local Government Area of Ogun State, Rev. Olufunke Oladeojobi, has been quizzed by the police for conducting illegal “virginity tests” on the pupils. Rev Oladeojobi, who was described by her pupils as a strict person, called in a nurse and jointly carried out virginity tests on a group of 10 students last week Monday It was further learnt by Punch Metro that the principal did not seek the consent of the parents/guardians of the pupils before conducting the test on Senior Secondary School 1 pupils. During the test, it was alleged that the principal and the nurse whose name could not be ascertained allegedly dipped their fingers into the pupils’ private parts. A 15-year-old pupil, who identified herself simply as Ayo, said the principal came into the classroom on the day and announced that all female SSS 1 pupils should converge on the assembly ground. She said the principal subsequently asked that those who had yet to lose their virginity should stand apart. Ayo said, “We are over 600 in SSS 1 but only about 300 of us are females. Those of us that are virgins are 38 and we were matched into the principal’s office with the assistance of members of staff. “They subsequently divided us into three groups of 10, 15 and 13 and I was in the second group. The principal later addressed us and threatened that any pupil who fails the test would have her name written in the school’s black book and would be suspended.” Ayo said she became apprehensive when everyone who emerged from the office where the test was being carried out came out with a sad and disgusting look. She said, “When my class captain emerged from the room, I asked her why anyone that came out of the office looked depressed? I was held spell bound when she told me that the principal and the nurse dipped their fingers in turns into their private parts, adding that she had started bleeding as a result of the penetration. “Just as I was asking further questions from her, the principal dashed out of her office and announced that she had discovered one student who had lost her virginity out of the 10 students that were examined. “She wrote her name on one of the notice boards in her office and ordered the rest of us to return to our various classes. Two of my friends who had similar experiences burst into tears as they narrated what happened.” A thirteen-year-old SSS I pupil of the school, identified simply as Ujunwa, said the principal was happy that she was able to “catch a promiscuous pupil” as she felt proud to discuss it on the assembly ground the next day. The reverend’s joyous moments was however short-lived when the parents of the 10 pupils stormed the school in protest against the development. The pupils rebelled against Oladeojobi last Wednesday as they did a sit-in on the assembly ground protesting and demanding that she should be redeployed from the school. It was the teachers’ intervention that calmed the pupils. Ujunwa said, “The parents of the girl that was said to have lost her virginity who happens to be a member of the Press Club and the other nine parents besieged the school last Tuesday and Wednesday and queried our principal for conducting such an unauthorised test on their children. “The parents then came with policemen attached to the Ajuwon Police Division where they had reported the incident on Thursday and arrested our principal.” When our correspondent visited the school on Tuesday, the school had closed for the term while Oladeojobi’s office was shut. Her telephone rang out while a text message sent to her phone was not responded to. When contacted, the Divisional Police Officer of Ajuwon Division, Mr. Waheed Yusuf, a Chief Superintendent of Police, confirmed the incident. A policeman who spoke on condition of anonimity said: “She confessed that she conducted virginity tests on the pupils and that ‘she was trying to help them.’ We took her in for questioning on Thursday and Friday but she was not detained as my superiors were taking into consideration that she is a civil servant.”

Windows 8 is the current release of the Windows operating system, produced by Microsoft for use on personal computers, including home and business desktops, laptops, tablets, and home theater PCs. Development of Windows 8 started before the release of its predecessor in 2009. Its existence was first announced at CES 2011, and followed by the release of three pre-release versions from September 2011 to May 2012. The operating system was released to manufacturing on August 1, 2012, and was released for general availability on October 26, 2012.[3] Windows 8 introduces significant changes to the operating system's platform, primarily focused towards improving its user experience on mobile devices such as tablets to rival other mobile operating systems (such as Android and iOS),[4] taking advantage of new or emerging technologies (such as USB 3.0, UEFI firmware, near field communications, cloud computing and the low-power ARM architecture), new security features (such as malware filtering, built-in antivirus software, and support for secure boot, a UEFI feature which allows operating systems to be digitally signed to prevent malware from altering the boot process), along with other changes and performance improvements. Windows 8 also introduces a new shell and user interface based on Microsoft's "Metro" design language, featuring a new Start screen with a grid of dynamically updating tiles to represent applications, a new app platform with an emphasis on touchscreen input, the new Windows Store to obtain and purchase applications for the system, and the ability to synchronize programs and settings between multiple devices. HideDevelopment history Windows 8 development started before Windows 7 had shipped[5] in 2009. In January 2011, at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Microsoft announced that Windows 8 would be adding support for ARM microprocessors in addition to the x86 microprocessors from Intel, AMD and VIA Technologies.[6][7] On June 1, 2011, Microsoft officially unveiled Windows 8's new user interface as well as additional features at the Taipei Computex 2011 in Taipei (Taiwan) by Mike Angiulo and at the D9 conference in California (United States) by Julie Larson-Green and Microsoft's Windows President Steven Sinofsky.[8][9] A month before the BUILD conference was held, Microsoft opened a new blog called "Building Windows 8" for users and developers on August 15, 2011.[10] A screenshot of Windows 8 Developer Preview running on a multi-monitor system, showcasing many features Microsoft unveiled new Windows 8 features and improvements on the first day of the BUILD conference on September 13, 2011.[11] Microsoft released Windows 8 Developer Preview (build 8102) the same day, which included SDKs and developer tools (such as Visual Studio Express and Expression Blend) for developing applications for Windows 8's new interface.[12] According to Microsoft, there were more than 500,000 downloads of the developer preview within the first 12 hours of its release.[13] Originally set to expire on March 11, 2012, in February 2012 the Developer Preview's expiry date was changed to January 15, 2013.[14] The new File Explorer interface with "Ribbon" in Windows 8 On 29 February 2012, Microsoft released Windows 8 Consumer Preview, the beta version of Windows 8, build 8250. For the first time since Windows 95, the Start button is no longer present on the taskbar, though the Start screen is still triggered by clicking the bottom-left corner of the screen and by clicking Start on the Charm bar.[15] Windows president Steven Sinofsky said more than 100,000 changes had been made since the developer version went public.[15] The day after its release, Windows 8 Consumer Preview had been downloaded over one million times.[16] Like the Developer Preview, the Consumer Preview is set to expire on January 15, 2013. At Japan's Developers Day conference, Steven Sinofsky announced that Windows 8 Release Preview (build 8400) would be released during the first week of June.[17] On May 28, 2012, Windows 8 Release Preview (Standard Simplified Chinese x64 edition, not China-specific version, build 8400) was leaked online on various Chinese and BitTorrent websites.[18] On May 31, 2012, Windows 8 Release Preview was released to the public by Microsoft.[19] Major items in the Release Preview included the addition of Sports, Travel, and News apps, along with an integrated version of Flash Player in Internet Explorer.[20] Like the Developer Preview and the Consumer Preview, the release preview is set to expire on January 15, 2013. On August 1, 2012, Windows 8 (build 9200[21]) was released to manufacturing with the build number 6.2.9200.16384 .[22] Microsoft planned to hold a launch event on October 25, 2012[23] and release Windows 8 for general availability on the next day.[24] However, only a day after its release to manufacturing, a copy of the final version of Windows 8 Enterprise N (produced for European markets) leaked to the web and several days later there were Pro and Enterprise leaks both x86 and x64.[25][26] On August 15, 2012, Windows 8 was made available to download for MSDN and TechNet subscribers.[27] Windows 8 was made available to Software Assurance customers on August 16, 2012.[28] Windows 8 was made available for student downloads (with a DreamSpark Premium subscription) on August 22, 2012, earlier than advertised.[29] Relatively few changes were made from the Release Preview to the final version; these included updated versions of its pre-loaded apps, the renaming of Windows Explorer to File Explorer, the replacement of the Aero Glass theme from Windows Vista and 7 with a new flat and solid-colored theme, and the addition of new background options for the Start screen, lock screen, and desktop.[30] Prior its to general availability on October 26, 2012, updates were released for some of Windows 8's bundled apps, and a "General Availability Cumulative Update" (which included fixes to improve performance, compatibility, and battery life) was released on Tuesday, October 9, 2012. Microsoft indicated that due to improvements to its testing infrastructure, general improvements of this nature will be released more frequently through Windows Update instead of being relegated to OEMs and service packs only.[31][32] Microsoft began an advertising campaign centered around Windows 8 and its Surface tablet in October 2012, starting with its first television advertisement premiering on October 14, 2012.[4] Microsoft's advertising budget for the operating system is US$1.5–1.8 billion, making Windows 8 the industry's biggest product launch in history.[33] Close this section HideNew and changed features Main article: Features new to Windows 8 New features and functionality in Windows 8 include a faster startup through UEFI integration and the new "Hybrid Boot" mode (which hibernates the Windows kernel on shutdown to speed up the subsequent boot),[34] a new lock screen with a clock and notifications,[35] and the ability for enterprise users to create live USB versions of Windows (known as Windows To Go).[36][37] Windows 8 also adds native support for USB 3.0 devices, which allow for faster data transfers and improved power management with compatible devices,[38][39] along with support for near field communication to facilitate sharing and communication between devices.[40] Windows Explorer, which has been renamed File Explorer, now includes a ribbon in place of the command bar. File operation dialogs have been updated to provide more detailed statistics, the ability to pause file transfers, and improvements in the ability to manage conflicts when copying files.[41] A new "File History" function allows incremental revisions of files to be backed up to and restored from a secondary storage device,[42] while Storage Spaces allows users to combine different sized hard disks into virtual drives and specify mirroring, parity, or no redundancy on a folder-by-folder basis.[43] Task Manager has also been redesigned, including a new processes tab with the option to display fewer or more details of running applications and background processes, a heat map using different colors indicating the level of resource usage, network and disk counters, grouping by process type (e.g. applications, background processes and Windows processes), friendly names for processes and a new option which allows users to search the web to find information about obscure processes.[44] Additionally, the Blue Screen of Death has been updated with a simpler and modern design with less technical information displayed.[45][46] Safety and security Additional security features in Windows 8 include two new authentication methods tailored towards touchscreens (PIN numbers and picture passwords),[47] the addition of antivirus capabilities to Windows Defender (bringing it in parity with Microsoft's Security Essentials software)[48]SmartScreen filtering integrated into the desktop,[49] and support for the "Secure Boot" functionality on UEFI systems to protect against malware infecting the boot process.[50]Parental controls are offered through the integrated Family Safety software, which allows parents to monitor and control their children's activities on a device with activity reports and safety controls.[51][52][53] Windows 8 also provides integrated system recovery through the new "Refresh" and "Reset" functions.[54] Windows 8's first security patches would be released on 13 November 2012; it would contain three critical (most severe as per Microsoft) fixes.[55] Online services and functionality Windows 8 provides heavier integration with online services from Microsoft and others. A user can now log in to Windows with a Microsoft account, formally known as a Windows Live ID, which can be used to access services and synchronize applications and settings between devices. Windows 8 also ships with a client app for Microsoft's SkyDrive cloud storage service, which also allows apps to save files directly to SkyDrive. A SkyDrive client for the desktop and File Explorer is not included in Windows 8, and must be downloaded separately.[56] Bundled multimedia apps are provided under the Xbox brand, including Xbox Music, Xbox Video, and the Xbox SmartGlass companion for use with an Xbox 360 console. Games can integrate into an Xbox Live hub app, which also allows users to view their profile and gamerscore.[57] Other bundled apps provide the ability to link to services such as Flickr and Facebook.[58] Internet Explorer 10 is included as both a desktop program and a touch-optimized app, and includes increased support for HTML5, CSS3, and hardware acceleration. The Internet Explorer app does not support plugins or ActiveX components, but includes a version of Adobe Flash Player that is optimized for touch and low power usage, but works only on sites included on a whitelist. The desktop version does not contain these limitations.[59] Windows 8 also incorporates improved support for mobile broadband; the operating system can now detect the insertion of a SIM card and automatically configure connection settings (including APNs and carrier branding), track and reduce bandwidth use on metered networks. Windows 8 also adds an integrated airplane mode setting to globally disable all wireless connectivity as well. Carriers can also offer account management systems through Windows Store apps, which can be automatically installed as a part of the connection process and offer usage statistics on their respective tile.[60] Windows Store and Apps A music app for Windows 8, shown snapped like a sidebar to the Windows Desktop Windows 8 introduces a new style of application, Windows Store apps; according to Microsoft developer Jensen Harris, these apps are to be optimized for touchscreen environments and have smaller scope in relation to desktop applications. Apps can run either in a full-screen mode, or be docked directly to the side of a screen.[61] They can provide notifications and a "live tile" on the Start screen for dynamic content. Apps can use "contracts"; a collection of hooks to provide common functionality that can integrate with other apps, such as search and sharing.[61] Apps can also provide integration with other services; for example, the People app can connect to a variety of different social networks and services (such as Facebook), while the Photos app can aggregate photos from services such as Facebook and Flickr.[58] Windows Store apps run within a new set of APIs known as the Windows Runtime, which supports programming languages such as C, C++, VB.NET, C#, along with HTML5 and JavaScript.[61] Depending on the language used, apps written for Windows Runtime can be cross-compatible with both Intel-compatible and ARM versions of Windows.[62] To ensure stability and security, apps run within a sandboxed environment, and require permissions to access certain functionality, such as accessing the Internet or a camera.[63] Retail versions of Windows 8 will only be able to install these apps through the Windows Store—a namesake distribution platform which offers both apps and certified desktop applications.[62][63] Only the Enterprise version will allow system administrators to deploy apps from outside the Windows Store.[63][64] Windows Store apps were originally known as "Metro-style apps" during the development of Windows 8, referring to the Metro design language. The term was reportedly phased out in August 2012; a Microsoft spokesperson denied rumors that the change was related to a potential trademark issue, and stated that "Metro" was only a codename that would be phased out prior to Windows 8's release.[65] Following these reports, the terms "Modern UI-style apps",[66] "Windows 8-style apps"[67] and "Windows Store apps" began to be used by various Microsoft documents and material to refer to the new apps. In an interview on September 12, 2012, Soma Somasegar (vice president of Microsoft's development software division) officially confirmed that "Windows Store apps" would be the official term for the apps.[68] Web browsers Special exceptions are given to web browsers classified as being "New experience enabled" (formerly "Metro-style enabled" , which can provide a special version to run within the "Metro" shell. Unlike other apps, they can be coded using Win32 code instead of WinRT (allowing the reuse of code from their desktop versions), permanently run in the background, use multiple background processes, and are distributed with desktop web browsers rather than through the Windows Store. Despite these looser restrictions, they can still take advantage of features typically reserved for Windows Store apps, such as the use of contracts to link to other apps. However, only the user's default web browser can be used in this setting.The developers of both Chrome and Firefox both committed to developing versions of their browsers to run in the app environment; while Chrome's app simply backports the existing desktop interface, Firefox's (which is currently available in development versions) uses a touch-optimized interface inspired by the mobile version of Firefox.[69][70][71][72] Interface and desktop Windows 8 introduces significant changes to the operating system's user interface, many of which are centered towards improving its experience on tablet computers and other touchscreen devices. The new user interface is based on Microsoft's Metro design language, and features a new tile-based Start screen similar to that of Windows Phone, which has replaced the previous Start menu entirely. The Start screen displays a customizable array of tiles linking to various apps and desktop programs, some of which can display constantly updated information and content through "live tiles".[61] As a form of multi-tasking, apps can be snapped to the side of a screen.[61] A vertical toolbar known as the charms bar (accessed by swiping from the right edge of a touchscreen, or pointing the cursor at hotspots in the right corners of a screen) provides access to system and app-related functions, such as search, sharing, device management, settings, and a Start button. The traditional desktop environment for running desktop applications is accessed via a tile on the new Start screen. The Start button on the taskbar has been removed in favor of the Start button on the charms bar and a hotspot in the lower-left corner of the screen.[73][74] Swiping from the left edge of a touchscreen or clicking in the top-left corner of the screen allows one to switch between apps and the Desktop. Pointing the cursor in the top-left corner of the screen and moving down reveals a thumbnail list of active apps.[74] Aside from the removal of the Start button, the desktop on Windows 8 is similar to that of Windows 7, except that the Aero Glass theme has been replaced by a flatter, solid-colored design inspired by the Metro interface.[75] Secure boot See also: Unified Extensible Firmware Interface#Secure boot and Hardware restrictions#Windows 8 Windows 8 supports a feature of the UEFI specification known as "Secure boot", which uses a public-key infrastructure to verify the integrity of the operating system and prevent unauthorized programs such as bootkits from infecting the device.[76] Despite the security benefits of the feature, Microsoft faced criticism (particularly from free software supporters) for mandating that devices receiving its optional certification for Windows 8 have secure boot enabled by default using a key provided by Microsoft. Concerns were raised that secure boot could prevent or hinder the use of alternate operating systems such as Linux. In response to the criticism, Microsoft developer Tony Mangefeste stated that "At the end of the day, the customer is in control of their PC. Microsoft’s philosophy is to provide customers with the best experience first, and allow them to make decisions themselves."[77][78] Microsoft's certification requirements eventually revealed that that UEFI firmware on x86 systems must allow users to re-configure or turn off secure boot, but that this must not be possible on ARM-based systems (Windows RT). Microsoft faced further criticism for its decision to restrict Windows RT devices by using this functionality, despite it being consistent with other consumer electronics with similar protection measures.[50][79][80] No mandate is made regarding the installation of third-party certificates that would enable running alternative software.[81][82][83] Close this section HideRemoved features Main article: List of features removed in Windows 8 Aside from the removal of the Start menu, several notable features have been removed in Windows 8. Support for playing DVDs has been removed from Windows Media Player due to the cost of licensing the necessary decoders (especially for devices which do not include optical disc drives at all) and the prevalence of streaming services such as Netflix. For the same reasons, Windows Media Center will no longer be included by default on Windows 8 as well, but the software (which also includes support for DVD playback) can be added back through the paid "Pro Pack" (for the base version of Windows 8, which also upgrades the system to Windows 8 Pro) or "Media Center Pack" (for Windows 8 Pro) add-ons. Windows 8 will still support third-party DVD playback software.[84] File History, the new backup feature of Windows 8 described above, replaces Backup and Restore, the former backup app, and Previous Versions, a component of Windows Explorer that saves previous versions of changed files. Backup and Restore is deprecated but will continue to work on preset schedule on computers that upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 8.[85]:76 Previous Versions no longer protects local files, although it is still available to access previous versions of shared files stored on a Windows Server computer.[85]:74Shadow Copy, the subsystem component based on which these worked, however, is still available for other software to use.[85]:74 Close this section HideHardware requirements PCs Minimum hardware requirements for Windows 8 ArchitectureIA-32 (32-bit)x86-64 (64-bit) Processor1 GHz (with PAE, NX and SSE2 support)[86] Memory (RAM)1 GB2 GB Graphics CardDirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver Storage16 GB20 GB The minimum system requirements for Windows 8 are slightly higher than those of Windows 7. Notably, Windows 8 now requires that a system's CPU support certain hardware features, specifically the PAE, NX bit, and SSE2. Windows Store apps require a screen resolution of 1024x768 or higher to run, while a screen resolution of 1366x768 or higher is required in order to use the snapping functionality for apps.[87] To receive logo certification, Microsoft requires that an Intel-compatible system resume from standby in 2 seconds or less.[88] Tablets and convertibles Microsoft released minimum hardware requirements for new tablet and convertible devices designed for Windows 8, and defined a convertible form factor as a standalone device that combines the PC, display and rechargeable power source with a mechanically attached keyboard and pointing device in a single chassis. A convertible can be transformed into a tablet where the attached input devices are hidden or removed leaving the display as the only input mechanism.[89][90] Hardware certification requirements for Windows tablets[91] Graphics CardDirectX 10 graphics device with WDDM 1.2 or higher driver Storage10GB free space, after the out-of-box experience completes Standard buttons'Power', 'Rotation lock', 'Windows Key', 'Volume-up', 'Volume-down' ScreenTouch screen supporting a minimum of 5-point digitizers and resolution of at least 1366x768.

Devices supporting near field communication need to have visual marks to help users locate and use the proximity technology. The new button combination for Ctrl + Alt + Del is Windows Key + Power. Close this section HideSoftware compatibility BSOD in Windows 8 Windows 8 for IA-32 and x64 processors runs most software compatible with previous versions of Windows, with the same restrictions as Windows 7: 64-bit Windows 8 runs 64-bit and 32-bit software while 32-bit Windows 8 will be able to run 32-bit and 16-bit software (although some 16-bit software may require compatibility settings to be applied, or not work at all). Windows RT, a version of Windows 8 for systems with ARM processors, only supports applications included with the system (such as a special version of Office 2013), supplied through Windows Update, or Windows Store apps, to ensure the quality of apps available on ARM. Windows RT does not support running IA-32 or x64 applications.[92] Windows Store apps can either be cross-compatible between Windows 8 and Windows RT, or compiled to support a specific architecture.[93] Close this section HideEditions and pricing Main article: Windows 8 editions Windows 8 is available in four editions; one is simply named Windows 8 and is intended for mainstream consumers. Windows 8 Pro contains additional features aimed towards power users and professional environments.[94] Windows 8 Enterprise contains additional features aimed towards business environments, and is only available through volume licensing.[94]Windows Media Center is not included by default in any edition of Windows 8, but will still be available for purchase as an add-on for Windows 8 Pro, or as part of a "Pro Pack" upgrade for Windows 8 which also includes the Pro upgrade.[95]Windows RT will only be made available as pre-loaded software on new ARM-based devices built specifically for the OS.[94] Users of previous versions of Windows can purchase an upgrade to Windows 8 Pro online (using a download that can be optionally burned to a DVD), or through boxed copies at retail on DVD. Microsoft is offering these upgrades at a discounted price of $39.99 USD online, or $69.99 at retail, from its launch until January 31, 2013.[95][96][97] Microsoft also began to offer an upgrade program for those purchasing new PCs pre-loaded with Windows 7 Home Basic, Home Premium, Professional, or Ultimate between June 2, 2012, and January 31, 2013—in which users will be able to digitally purchase a Windows 8 Pro upgrade for $14.99 USD.[98] The Windows Media Center add-on will be offered for free through this offer.[95] Several PC manufacturers have offered rebates and refunds on Windows 8 upgrades obtained through the program on select models, such as Hewlett-Packard (in the U.S. and Canada on select models), and Acer (in Europe on selected Ultrabook models).[99][100] Close this section ShowLogo HideReception Reviews of the various editions of Windows 8 have been mixed. The Verge felt that Windows 8's emphasis on touch computing was a significant aspect of the platform and that Windows 8 devices (especially those that combine the traits of both laptops and tablets) would "[make the] iPad feel immediately out of date" due to the capabilities of the operating system's hybrid model and increased focus on cloud services. Some of the included apps in Windows 8 were considered to be basic and lacking in certain functionality, but the Xbox apps were praised for their promotion of a multi-platform entertainment experience. Other improvements and features (such as File History, Storage Spaces, and the updated Task Manager) were also regarded as positive changes.[102] Additionally, Peter Bright of Ars Technica felt that while its user interface changes may overshadow them, Windows 8's improved performance, updated file manager, new storage functionality, expanded security features, and updated Task Manager were still notably positive improvements for the operating system. Bright also felt that Windows 8's duality towards tablets and traditional PCs was an "extremely ambitious" aspect of the platform as well, but still criticized Microsoft for emulating Apple's model of a closed distribution platform when implementing the Windows Store.[103] The interface of Windows 8 has been the subject of mixed reaction. Peter Bright of Ars Technica felt that the "Edge UI" system of hot corners and edge swiping "wasn't very obvious" due to the lack of instructions provided by the operating system on the functions accessed through the user interface, even by the video tutorial added on the RTM release (which only instructed users to point at corners of the screen or swipe from its sides). Despite this so-called "stumbling block", Bright felt that Windows 8's interface worked well in some places, but began to feel incoherent when switching between the "Metro" and desktop environments, sometimes through inconsistent means.[103] Tom Warren of The Verge felt that the new interface was "as stunning as it is surprising", contributing to an "incredibly personal" experience once it is customized by the user. However, at the same time, Warren felt that the interface had a steep learning curve, and was awkward to use with a keyboard and mouse. However, it was noted that while forcing all users to use the new touch-oriented interface was a risky move for Microsoft as a whole, it was necessary in order to push development of apps for the Windows Store.[102] Several notable video game developers criticized Microsoft for adopting a similar "walled garden" app distribution model to other mobile platforms with the introduction of the Windows Store—since they felt it conflicted with the traditional view of the PC as an open platform, due to the store's closed nature and certification requirements for compatibility and regulation of content. Markus "Notch" Persson specifically refused to accept help from a Microsoft developer to certify his popular game Minecraft for Windows 8 compatibility, replying with a request for the company to "stop trying to ruin the PC as an open platform."[104]Gabe Newell (co-founder of Valve Corporation, who developed the competing software distribution platform Steam) described Windows 8 as being a "catastrophe for everyone in the PC space" due to the closed nature of the Windows Store.[105]Rob Pardo from Activision Blizzard agreed with Gabe Newell by saying: "nice interview with Gabe Newell - "I think Windows 8 is a catastrophe for everyone in the PC space* - not awesome for Blizzard either".[106] Industry Veteran Casey Muratori had similar concerns.[107] Adrian Kingsley-Hughes from ZDNet wrote: "The biggest problem with Windows 8 is that it wasn't born out of a need or demand. Its design failures, particularly with ‘Metro UI’ will likely be its downfall." Market performance Microsoft says that 4 million users upgraded to Windows 8 over the weekend after its release,[109][110] which CNET says was well below Microsoft's internal projections and have been described inside the company as disappointing.[111] Though initial sales were disappointing, there have been steady increases in demand since.[112] Close this section HideSee also Microsoft portal Information technology portal Microsoft Surface Windows Server 2012 Windows Phone 8 Windows Phone Close this section HideReferences ^ "Microsoft Announces Support of System on a Chip Architectures From Intel, AMD, and ARM for Next Version of Windows".

FATIMA is a 28-year-old mother of five. Fatima is from Gawube community in FCT. She can neither read nor write. She wishes she could read and write now, especially as she missed that opportunity of acquiring formal education, after she got married at the age of 13. She was in Primary Five when her parents introduced to her suitors. Though she preferred to remain in school to complete her education up to secondary level, she was pressured and forced into marrying, after which she stopped her education. Ruth is a 15-year-old from Hunkuyi community in Kaduna State. She now lives with the principal of her school, after she ran out of her aunt’s abode. She lost her parents at the age of six and had stayed with her aunt since then. She took her destiny into her own hands and ran away from her aunt’s home when the woman brought a man and insisted she must marry him. Ruth has found solace in her principal’s home and vowed to complete her education to the tertiary level before she gets married. The tales of her friends who got married at an early age and who have had to drop out of school ring in her head and drives her closer to her dream. She hopes to be a medical doctor and be useful to her community. Ruth is just lucky to have managed to escape when such children-marrying husbands come calling. In 2010, Nigeria was brought to near ridicule when news filtered in that Senator Ahmed Sani Yerima, 49, allegedly paid $100,000 (N15.5 million at today’s exchange rate of $1-N155) as bride prize and married a 13-year-old teenager in a ceremony in Abuja. Senators called for an investigation after receiving a petition from women groups who claimed the Senator had broken the law. Civil rights organisations and the public shouted themselves hoarse calling attention to how the marriage violated Nigeria’s Child Rights Act of 2003, which forbids marriage with anyone under 18. But two years down the line, the case seems to have died a natural death, while the teenager lives with him, oblivious of the full implication of what she has been dragged into. Fatima is among six million girls of school age who are reported not to be in school in Nigeria. About 36 million of such girls are not enrolled in school, according to statistics. The figures are sobering: Nearly half of all girls in developing countries become mothers before they are 18 years old; and 50,000 girls die yearly during childbirth, making it the number one killer of girls between 15-19. In developing countries, one girl out of seven will marry before they turn 15 and 38 per cent will marry before they are 18. Pregnancy is the leading cause of death of girls between the ages of 15-19 worldwide; 43 per cent of girls in Nigerian primary and junior secondary school believe that early marriage is one obstacle that could stop them from achieving their desired level of education, while 67 per cent believe that if child marriage is tackled they will achieve their desired level of education. And taking cognizance of the menace of the girl-child, the Unite Nations (UN) set aside October 11 of every year as the International Day of the Girl-Child. The first outing this year focused on ending child marriage. It provided opportunity for stakeholders in the development world to give further strength to a campaign that they had sustained over the years. The UN and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) were at the forefront of marking the day. In Nigeria, organisations like the Society for Family Health (SFH), ActionAid Nigeria, Civil Society Action on Education for All (CSACEFA), the FCT Department of Planning and Implementation and others rolled out the drums to mark the day. They used the opportunity to call on all levels of government to ensure the effective implementation of the free and compulsory basic education for all Nigerian children, including girls. According to ActionAid, “Government and various institutions must create equal opportunities for the girl-child, starting with giving the girl-child opportunity for basic education and affirmative actions in employment, appointments and access to income generating opportunities that will lead to equality.” The UN called on the Federal and state governments in Nigeria to domesticate the Child Rights Act and join in the protection of the child from early marriages. Keying into the theme of this year’s celebration, “My Life, My Right, End Child Marriage,” the UN office in Nigeria and other organisations intensified advocacy on the Nigerian government to protect the girl-child from abuse. On its part, SFH highlighted some of the issues facing the Nigerian girl-child. The organisation is also advocating that women of every age be given the chance to deliver with the help of a skilled birth attendant, especially younger girls and women. A statement from the UN in Nigeria recalled that 113 countries including Nigeria had established 18 years as the minimum marriage age for girls while 147 countries have established 18 years for boys. The global body, which observed how preventing child marriage would protect girls’ rights and help reduce their risks of violence, early pregnancy, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, and maternal death and disability, including obstetric fistula, stressed that when girls are able to stay in school and avoid being married early, they can build a foundation for a better life for themselves and their families and participate in the progress of their nations. “Globally, around one in three young women aged 20-24 years were first married before they reached age 18. One third of them entered into marriage before they turned 15. Child marriage results in early and unwanted pregnancies, posing life-threatening risks for girls. In developing countries, 90 per cent of births to adolescents aged 15-19 are to married girls, and pregnancy-related complications are the leading cause of death for girls in this age group,” the statement stressed. UN Resident Co-ordinator in Nigeria and UNDP Resident Representative, Daouda Toure, said in Abuja: “The Nigerian Child Rights Act of 2003 prohibits child marriage and even prescribes punishment for child betrothal and marriage,” urging Nigeria to be in the “vanguard of promoting the right of the girl-child.” In his message, UN Secretary General, Ban Ki-moon stressed the place of education as a viable tool to the protection of girls. “Education for girls is one of the best strategies for protecting girls against child marriage. When they are able to stay in school and avoid being married early, girls can build a foundation for a better life for themselves and their families...” Stressing the place of education in the life of the girl-child, the UNICEF in a statement called attention to the urgent need to put girls’ rights at the heart of development. “UNICEF is laying the groundwork to end child marriage globally. In 2011, 34 country offices reported efforts to address child marriage through social and economic change efforts and legal reform... “When girls are able to stay in school an attitudinal change can also occur towards their opportunities within the community. The proportion of child-brides has decreased over the last 30 years but child marriage persists at high rates in several regions of the world, particularly in rural areas and among the poorest. Some child-brides are the most marginalized and vulnerable of society…” UNICEF reeled out chilling statistics to convey its message that child marriage is not good and must be stopped. “Globally, almost 400 million women aged 20-49, or over 40 per cent, were married while they were children.” |

It’s always a good idea to do a format once every few month or even when you first get your new device. There’s two ways to do a hard format to the device memory: 1). Once the device is powered on and at the home screen type *#7370# and then enter your security code (default is 12345) and then your device will restart and reset. 2). To hard reset, follow the steps below.

(useful for when phone is having issues. Make backups before attempting) Normal Reset (*#7780#) : Restores ini files from rom but preserves user data (photos, 3rd party apps etc) On my 6682, it responded by asking for a Lock code. A Nokia FAQ (http://www.nokia.com.au/nokia/0,,37167,00.html) said there was a factory default of "lock code (1234) and security code (12345)." On my phone, 1234 didn't work -- but 12345 did! It's usually 12345, because security code has 5 digits. [edit] Deep Reset (*#7370#) : This reformats completely the C: drive. All applications and files stored on this drive will be lost and clean default files will be rewritten. [edit] Full Phone Format Works on most series 60; annotate here if it doesn't work on yours. On my 6682, this didn't work. I tried three times. Did not work on a 6085 with very low memory If any of the problems listed below is happening to your phone: Blank screen phone unable to boot-up.

She kept me cause she could handle the responsibilities of motherhood & send me to the best schools thereis. If you can't shoulder the responsibility, don't bring forth a child to do dope & sell crack, do thug life & at the end get shot in the streets or go to Juvy for life!! Think Smart |
Adoption is a temporary solution to a permanent problem. Abortion is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Keeping a baby you can’t afford and/or aren’t ready for is a formula for disaster The government has deemed minors (teens) incapable to have the mental capacity to be legally responsible for themselves, so WHY would it make sense to allow a legally irresponsible teen to be responsible for themselves AND another human life?! Any idiot can have sex, but it takes much more to be a responsible, mature and financially stable parent. Age DOES matter! Maturity is gained through life experiences and life experiences are obtained over time. Getting knocked up doesn't magically make you mature or a responsible adult! Don’t say “age doesn’t matter”, because the youngest mother recorded was 5yrs old! Abortion is simply a medical procedure to remove a parasitic organism $200-$1,000 (abortion) will save your life/future, the father’s life/future, and keep your parents from humiliation. 1 in 4 women miscarries, so you don’t even know that you would miscarry anyways. Abortions are the man-made miscarriage. Having a knocked up teen daughter is a failure on the parents. Do you realize that you're a direct reflection of their ability to be good parents, right? People will judge THEM by what YOU do. Keeping a baby YOU can't afford or take care of is NOT "brave", "mature" or "responsible" but actually irresponsible, selfish, and just plain dumb! If your PARENTS wanted another child then THEY would have had one. If you can't care for a baby independently then you have NO business having one! Sometimes the “responsible” thing to do IS to have an abortion. Studies have shown that the MAJORITY of women/girls feel relief after abortions (I know I did!) and that guilt, complications, and regret are NOT common. Did you know just giving birth in a hospital costs thousands of dollars alone? Teens just don’t have that kind of money. YOU do not have the necessary assets to raise a child. Your mother/father is NOT responsible for you or your baby, so think very hard about this. They CAN legally kick you out on the street with a new born baby. If you want to play grown up then go play grown up in the REAL world like the rest of us. ****************** Fun and TRUE pregnancy FACTS about many females: . -The area of skin between your vagina and anus will tear open to create ONE LARGE HOLE between your legs http://www.google.com/imgres?q=vaginal+tearing+during+birth&hl=en&sa=X&biw=1366&bih=667&tbm=isch&prmd=imvns&tbnid=upV2OgFfzPwADM:&imgrefurl=http://www.empowher.com/media/reference/vaginal-tears&docid=H0rdLAptTBSFHM&imgurl=http://www.empowher.com/files/ebsco/images/vaginal%252520tear.jpg&w=223&h=335&ei=wyoZT8TlOYXbiAK8yNCdCA&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=194&vpy=130&dur=537&hovh=202&hovw=134&tx=104&ty=163&sig=105404147572747667497&page=1&tbnh=153&tbnw=102&start=0&ndsp=18&ved=1t:429,r:0,s:0 -You will poop and pee on the delivery table (in front of everyone) during birth. -You will have stretch marks. -For the next 2 years you will average about 3 hours of sleep a night. educational birth video: http://www.medicalvideos.us/play.php?vid=237 ---------------- Basics for being a successful parent: (the ideal situation) Be at least 21 (25+ is best) live within your means INDEPENDANTY (meaning NOT with mom and dad) be married (or have life partner) have at least $5,000 just for the baby able to spend at least $400/month on the baby in addition to normal bills both own cars (or just 1 if you live in a major city and use public transportation) both have careers (not just jobs) both have AT LEAST graduated high school (better if you both have degrees) BOTH WANT KIDS Have insurance (home/renters, auto, health) Franca; "I’m adopted, and the system is flawed! (I was lucky and got adopted into a wealthy and loving family, but that’s rare. Adoption is like dropping a pet off at the shelter, getting a family is NOT guaranteed) The world already has TOO many unwanted kids, so don’t choose adoption either. At any given time there are OVER half a MILLION kids in need of foster/adoptive parents in just the USA. Chances are your kid will end up abused or on the streets if you go with adoption." Joan; "I had an abortion when I was 18 and it was the best decision I ever made for myself! (I had plans and a future ahead of me) I have NEVER regretted that choice! And that was 9 yrs ago. I'm kid-free and HAPPY, and thankful! No pain No regret No problem!" (Remember- abortions are legal in the USA until 24 weeks in all 50 states, because the fetus is not viable outside the womb) ABORTIONS ARE SAFE, SIMPLE, EASY, AND NECESSARY! The legalization of abortions reduced the crime rates in the 1990s!

, which can provide a special version to run within the "Metro" shell. Unlike other apps, they can be coded using Win32 code instead of WinRT (allowing the reuse of code from their desktop versions), permanently run in the background, use multiple background processes, and are distributed with desktop web browsers rather than through the Windows Store. Despite these looser restrictions, they can still take advantage of features typically reserved for Windows Store apps, such as the use of contracts to link to other apps. However, only the user's default web browser can be used in this setting.
