A Philadelphia judge has sentenced rapper Meek Mill to two to four years in state prison for violating probation in a nearly decade-old gun and drug case.

When sentencing the 30-year-old musician Monday (Nov. 5), Common Pleas Judge Genece Brinkley cited a failed drug test and a failure to comply with a court order restricting his travel.

The sentence came as a surprise after prosecutors recommended Mill not be imprisoned for the probation violations, noting he’s been off drugs since January and has complied with most requirements of probation.

But Brinkley says she’s been trying to help Mill for about a decade and that he just does whatever he wants.

Mill’s lawyer has vowed to appeal.

The rapper was previously arrested at a St. Louis airport for an altercation that involved two employees back in March and was more recently busted for reckless endangerment while driving his motorcycle on an August night in New York City. Both cases were dropped after the emcee fulfilled his community service requirements. He was placed on house arrest in 2015 for a probation violation when he left Pennsylvania without proper approval.

All of this stems from his original 2008 charges, for which he served eight months in prison.

The duo who started dating in January have decided to go their separate ways, and it was a decision that was a long time coming.

The split comes after multiple recent sightings of Gomez and ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber hanging out. Last week, Gomez was seen coming and going from Bieber’s house, and they were spotted together again on Sunday grabbing breakfast and heading to church.

"It's been hard for them to come to the realization that this is the direction things were heading, but it's been hard for months," says a source. "They have been open and honest about it and where they were going. Distance definitely played a factor."

Real Madrid star player Cristiano Ronaldo shares a catchy picture on his Instagram page, in what looks like a "King on his throne". This is coming after he won the 2017 Best FIFA men's player of the year trophy beating his bitter rival Lionel Messi to the award for the second time in a row.

Venus Williams flouted numerous traffic laws as she sped through an intersection and caused a crash that resulted in horrendous injuries to a married couple, killing the husband, this according to a new wrongful death lawsuit.

The hip hop group Rae Sremmurd is officially over. Real life brothers Slim Jxmmi and Swae Lee have decided to end the group Rae Sremmurd.

Officially, there’s no bad blood, the artists both say that they “just that the two wanted to go in different directions.” But unofficially Slim Jxmmi is upset. #RaeSremmurd #StephenEchefuBlog

Johnny Depp apparently didn't learn a damn thing from Kathy Griffin, he just went and made a joke about killing President Trump.

Depp was speaking to a crowd at the Glastonbury Festival Thursday when he starting talking Trump, saying, "I think he needs help." Then he asked the crowd, "When was the last time an actor assassinated a president?"

The crowd's reaction, mostly cheers, but Depp still attempted to backpedal a little bit from his clear reference to John Wilkes Booth killing Abraham Lincoln in 1865. #JohnnyDepp #PresidentTrump #StephenEchefuBlog

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have made a deal with a surrogate to have another child.

Kim has a condition, 'placenta accreta' which makes another pregnancy life-threatening. So Kim and Kanye have found a surrogate through an agency and agreed to pay the following:
- $45,000 in 10, $4,500 monthly installments
- If there are multiples, the surrogate gets $5k for each additional kid
- If the surrogate loses reproductive organs, she gets $4,000.

Kim and Kanye are also required to deposit $68,850 with the agency.

The surrogate is required to refrain from smoking, drinking and drugs during the pregnancy. She also agrees to restrict sexual activities in the weeks leading up to the pregnancy, including foregoing sexual intercourse for 3 weeks following embryo implantation...

"Wonder Woman" star Gal Gadot has a message for the studio that produced her mega-hit flick, "Open your wallet wide".
Reports have surfaced Gadot made just $300,000 for each of the 3 movies she made with the studio "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice," "Wonder Woman" and the yet-to-be-released "Justice League."

"Wonder Woman" has become the driver of the 2017 box office, pulling in $570 million worldwide in less than 3 weeks.

The $300k is about right, but sources familiar with the negotiations tell TMZ she has "huge performance bonuses" for "Wonder Woman" and she will end up with many times the base salary.

According to reports, Gadot is planning a "major renegotiation" of her deal for sequels, something common when relatively unknown actors make bare bones deals but then hit it big.

Battery life has been a major concern for android users. Many theories about battery life extension have been formulated and it is no surprise that smart phone users follow them religiously in the bid to prolong the life span of their batteries without bothering to check the authenticity of such theories. Hacks Undiluted has analyzed some of these claims and has decided to throw more light on them.
Myth 1: The higher the Mah rating of a battery, the longer the smart phone stays on.

Smart phone batteries are modeled to suit the phone hardware. The battery consumption of a phone is determined by how much hardware it contains and the efficiency of these hardwares. A phone which is likely to consume more power is matched with a high capacity battery in order to prolong its 'On time'. High capacity batteries are usually found in larger phones and tablets/Ipads. However, a phone which uses a lower rated battery does not imply that the battery will drain faster. In fact, a smart phone with a smaller rated battery may stay on, longer than that 'beasty' battery powered phones. This is because the device economizes the battery juices owing to its hardware efficiency and probably fewer hardware components. Just as we cannot say that heavy duty vehicles utilizing bigger engines means they run faster than SUVs with relatively small engines, we also cannot say the same for phones utilizing 'bigger' batteries. So do not get startled when phone manufacturers list a 'beasty' battery as one of its strong points as it could mean the phone needs it to compensate for its high energy consumption. Also, do not let the 'low' rating of a phone's battery discourage you from buying it as many will quickly say, "I'm not buying! The battery rating is too poor!" Don't crucify the innocent phone because of its efficiency.
Don't get me wrong. I never said a phone utilizing a high rated battery means it is inefficient neither did I say that a phone which runs on a lower rated battery implies it is more efficient than its former counterpart.. all I'm trying to discourage is the hasty generalization of cell phone's battery rating determining its life. A very efficient phone on a high power battery is plus but do not judge a book by its cover.

Myth 2: Killing running tasks/apps saves the battery.

While this may be true for laptop computers, it is a pure lie for smart phones. In the case of smart phones, once an application is minimized, it becomes 'frozen'; it ceases to make use of the CPU until it is reopened and hence, does not impact on the battery. When an application is opened, it is loaded in the RAM to be processed. The phone is programmed to automatically kill some tasks to free the RAM if it discovers it is running out of RAM. When you kill these apps by yourself, you in fact kill the battery as extra juice is pulled from the battery (to load the apps on the RAM) next time you decide to reopen it. Why not allow the phone to do its job ? After all, that's why its smart.
Because applications only run only when it is loaded in the RAM, some applications( like whatsapp, playstore,messaging apps, etc) find their way to the RAM and hide in the background because of the way they are programmed. These applications consume a lot of battery and they are they should be the source of your worry.On Android, you can disable background apps by going to your Settings > Wireless & networks > Data usage and set “Allow background data” to “Restrict background data".However, disabling background apps could make them to malfunction. Do it at your discretion.

Myth 3: Charging your battery overnight or overcharging it can kill battery life.
This used to be true for older batteries and technology. Smart phones have inbuilt technology that helps regulate the charging. Once the battery is charged fully, the feedback mechanism stops the charging process; protecting the battery from being overheated from over charging. Once it is detected that the battery level is below 100%, the charging process is triggered again ; keeping the battery level at equilibrium. This series of discharging and and charging however impacts on the lifespan of the battery, but the impact is not significant enough to effect any noticeable drop in the lifespan.

Myth 4: You can prolong your battery life by installing battery savers
I consider the battery saving apps as malwares because they cause more harm than good. They take a chunk of your RAM, overwork your CPU and pushes up unsolicited ads on your screen while doing virtually nothing other than kill apps. Battery saver apps working technique is premised on the ideology that killing tasks help prolong battery life- this, we have disproved in myth 2.Don't mind the fancy interfaces of the so-called battery savers. Some of these apps claim to fasten the charging rate; a lie from the pit of hell. They will rather kill your battery and block your screen with crazy ads.

I hope you found this article interesting. In my next post, I will writing on practices that will improve your battery life.Stay tuned and always remember to encourage me by sharing my articles with your friends.

Thanks.

Nice piece OP, but what makes Phone battery expand Because right now the battery of my Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 pro battery has expanded in size and is making my device uncomfortable

maclatunji:
President Buhari is about to complete his first 2 years in office as an elected civilian president of Nigeria and the 2 major issues in the polity presently in Nigeria are; his current state of health begging the question on whether he is fit to continue in office and perhaps more importantly if he will run for reelection in 2019.

This article takes a look at the major contenders for his position should he not run for reelection in 2019. It is safe to say that in any election cycle in Nigeria; about 50 individuals have at least a remotely objective chance of being president. However, some contenders have more clout than others. The following 10 are the ones with the most clout in my opinion in no particular order.

1. Alhaji Sule Lamido

Alhaji Sule Lamido is a former 2-term governor of Jigawa state with considerable influence in his home state and neighbouring Kano. He as a northern aristocrat who has connections far and wide, he has also safely kept away from the current storm ravaging his party, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) which could make him a favourite for party nomination as presidential candidate in 2019 if the Ali Modu Sheriff and Makarfi factions of the PDP can close ranks and resolve their bitter dispute. His current trial for allegedly inciting his followers to violence during the forthcoming local government elections in Jigawa state is an immediate challenge he has to surmount though.

2. Senator Ali Modu Sheriff

A former 2-term governor of Borno state and Senator, Alhaji Ali Modu Sheriff is currently the chairman of the PDP and reportedly a billionaire with deep pockets to finance a possible presidential bid. In fact, his opponents in the ongoing PDP crisis have suggested that the source of conflict is Senator Ali Modu Sheriff’s presidential ambition in 2019. If he can get his party to nominate him as its presidential candidate, he could be a formidable opponent especially when his money starts ‘talking’.

3. Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal

Former Speaker of the House of Representatives and Current Governor of Lagos State, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal is a relatively young smart and articulate leader with connections all over Nigeria. He is a member of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) who could be sold to the country as a vibrant fearless leader that can lead Nigeria to a great future. His obstacles to power would be mainly the other heavyweights in the APC who might run in the event that President Buhari does not. However, if a stalemate is reached, an individual like Tambuwal may become attractive as a compromise candidate. The fact that he is governor of the Sokoto, the ‘Seat of the Caliphate’ might help in no small measure as well.

4. Governor Nasir El Rufai

Former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and current Governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir El Rufai tends to be controversial but he is also well-respected as a reformer during his time as the Director General of Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE) and Minister of the FCT under former President Obasanjo. Currently in Kaduna, he is also embarking on sweeping reforms in the governance of a leading state in the North. However, his handling of political opponents even within his party and pronouncements on the recent inter-communal conflict in Kaduna have made some observers question his leadership credentials. It might be a case of being misrepresented but the governor has to explain why he is very susceptible to misrepresentation. It is also unclear what his relationship with President Buhari currently is like –whether good or strained, this might be a critical factor in his presidential ambition for 2019.

5. Senator Bukola Saraki

Former 2-term governor of Kwara state and President of Nigeria’s Senate, Dr. Bukola Saraki has defied Political gravity so far and will fancy his chances of becoming president if the incumbent does not run. Allegations of corruption trail him though and despite his best efforts to avoid it, his trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal continues. He has a loyal base in the Senate and in Kwara state, his friend and ally Senator Dino Melaye will be assuring him that he has Kogi state as well. However, there are many power brokers in the APC who are against Senator Saraki and they will do all in their power to prevent him from being the party’s candidate in the event President Buhari refuses to run for 2019. However, as a former member of the PDP, he still has friends who might decide to combine forces with him in a new party, such is the nature of Nigerian politicians, it would not be difficult to defect to a new party and run on such a platform. His popularity within Nigeria would then be tested as a presidential candidate.

6. Vice President Yemi Osinbajo (SAN)

If a president cannot run for a second term, who better to replace him as his party’s candidate than his vice president? This simple logic is what makes Professor Yemi Osinbajo (SAN) a strong contender in 2019 based on our initial assumption. He showed in just over a month of President Buhari’s extended medical leave that he can be a pragmatic leader that connects with the people. However, his performance so far has largely been with the support of the president. There is a strong possibility that it is only with the support of President Buhari that Professor Osinbajo will have a strong footing to run for the highest office in 2019. He would also be looking towards Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu for support in such a scenario. While not a guaranteed deal, Vice President Osinbajo is certainly in the mix for 2019 without a doubt.

7. Alhaji Atiku Abubakar

Former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar is a political heavyweight in Nigeria with considerable political machinery especially in Northern Nigeria. The challenge he seems to have is salability to Nigerians as the man to lead us. Since 2007, he has been trying to no avail. Could 2019 be his year? He definitely seems to believe so, as he has been going round the country delivering lectures on ‘restructuring Nigeria’ and explaining to us how things are not going well. He has also been pictured drinking sachet water a.k.a. ‘pure water’ in local parlance. Whether all these are enough is to be seen, he has a penchant for changing parties to pursue his ambition and might have to do so again to have a chance to run for president in 2019. Time will tell what the Turakin Adamawa has in store for us politically.

8. Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu

Former 2-term governor of Lagos state, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu is the biggest power broker in Nigeria at the moment, President Muhammadu Buhari admitted this much in his acceptance speech after being declared winner of the 2015 election. No doubt, both men have high regard for each other. Now, if President Buhari does not run, what strategy will Asiwaju Tinubu deploy? Will he run for president or support another person and remain the power-broker he has been for about a decade.

He has already told us that if President Buhari does not run, he will consider running himself. As events in the Senate, House of Representatives and even the Executive have shown since President Buhari was sworn-in, Asiwaju Tinubu cannot expect to get his way all the time. He is usually the first to recognize and admit this which is what makes him such a difficult politician to come-up against, political master-strategist with growing influence in the North which is critical for any presidential bid in Nigeria. Just how big is the Jagaban Borgu in the North and what will be the outcome if President Buhari and Asiwaju Tinubu have a meeting behind closed doors might be 2 critical factors that determine the success or failure of a Tinubu presidential bid in 2019.

9. Alhaji Muazu Babangida Aliyu

A 2-term former governor of Niger state, Alhaji Babangida Aliyu is a good orator and respected politician in the North regardless of his current trial by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for alleged corruption. If can survive his current travails and play his politics well, he might be a good compromise candidate for the 2 factions of the PDP. His oratory skills and connections with the Southwest where he had is tertiary education at the University of Ibadan may also prove helpful for a presidential bid. If the APC presents a candidate that his unpopular, Alhaji Babangida Aliyu might have a chance. It also helps his cause that 2 powerful former Heads of State, Gen. (Rtd.) Ibrahim Babangida and Gen. (Rtd.) Abdulsalam Abubakar come from his state. A few hilltop mansion meetings may do wonders for his candidacy.

10. Alhaji Aminu Bello Masari

Let us look at this scenario, President Buhari is not running for a second term, members of the APC are agitated about this and the quest for power by different blocks threatens to tear the party apart. A compromise needs to be reached quickly and it is decided that the governor of Kastina state where the President comes from should replace him as candidate while the party changes its constitution to formally codify zoning of the presidency to the south in 2023. Under this scenario, Alhaji Aminu Bello Masari, current governor of Katsina state would emerge APC candidate and would in all likelihood win such an election. He shares the advantage of having connections all over the country as former speaker of the House of Representatives with Governor Tambuwal of Sokoto state. This and the fact that he is the current president’s governor cannot be overlooked in the equation of 2019 where a President Buhari does not run.

Conclusion

These permutations might be rendered useless if President Buhari does decide to run, we definitely wish him good health and a speedy recovery from illness. However, it might be asking too much to expect him to campaign in most states of the country in a bid for reelection going by his old age and state of health.

So, what do you think about these potential candidates for president in 2019. Do you think there are people that should have made my top 10 list? Let me know by dropping a comment.
