Foreign Affairs › How Social Media Got Trump Elected by gabonsky(op): 1:33pm On Nov 10, 2016
America just endured its first presidential election in which the majority of the electorate got its news from social media. And the outcome is already prompting soul searching by the companies that shaped it.

America just endured its first presidential election in which the majority of the electorate got its news from social media. And the outcome is already prompting soul searching by the companies that shaped it.

Facebook will have to contend with mounting dissatisfaction over its role as the most widely used news filter in history. Forty-four percent of American adults get their media through the site, many consuming news from partisan sources with which they agree.

The proliferation of fake news on Facebook has also been a problem: false stories about the Clinton family committing murder and Huma Abedin being a terrorist flew fast and furious despite refutations from responsible news organisations. Those stories shaped public opinion, said Ed Wasserman, the dean of the University of California, Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism.

“This is a landmark,” he said. “Trump was able to get his message out in a way that was vastly influential without undergoing the usual kinds of quality checks that we associate with reaching the mass public. You had a whole set of media having influence without really having authority. And the media that spoke with authority, the authority that comes after careful fact checking, didn’t really have the influence.”

In a statement, a Facebook spokeswoman said: “While Facebook played a part in this election, it was just one of many ways people received their information — and was one of the many ways people connected with their leaders, engaged in the political process and shared their views.”

Online (on Facebook, of course), current and former employees debated the company’s role as an influencer. Bobby Goodlatte, a Facebook product designer from 2008 to 2012, according to his LinkedIn, said the company’s news feed was responsible for fuelling “highly partisan, fact-light media outlets” that propelled Donald Trump’s ascension to the presidency. “News feed optimises for engagement,” Goodlatte wrote. “As we’ve learned in this election, bullshit is highly engaging.”
In the past, Facebook has pushed back publicly against these concerns with a simple premise: news feed is just an amplification of what people would experience in a world without it. In response to Goodlatte, Andrew Bosworth, a veteran Facebook executive who helped create news feed, defended the company: “News feed isn’t perfect but it is at least or more diverse than the alternatives which dominated consumption in the late 1990s.”

Behind the scenes, Facebook has been studying and analysing its effect on news consumption. The issue was tackled at high-level meetings this summer, leading to a revision of priorities for news feed to de-emphasise media posts, in favour of posts from friends and family. The company’s PR department has worked to frame Facebook as a technology company rather than a media company, celebrating the “invention” of news feed on its 10-year anniversary, for example. Meanwhile, Facebook intensified its analysis of its role in creating an echo chamber and spreading fake news.
“We can’t read everything and check everything,” Adam Mosseri, the head of news feed, said in an August interview. “So what we’ve done is we’ve allowed people to mark things as false. We rely heavily on the community to report content.”

Of course, if false news is spreading in communities that want to believe it, few will mark it as false.
Echo chambers on Facebook may have helped Trump win, but Twitter gave him a way to reach American voters constantly and without an editor. Clinton also had her own Facebook and Twitter accounts, but Trump, with almost 14m followers on the site, would often start his own news cycles with deeply opinionated and often incendiary posts. “I can’t think of another instance, in commercial or political communication, where Twitter was used as effectively,” Wasserman said.

Twitter’s shares rose 4,1% Wednesday, boosted by investor recognition of its role in the election outcome. But it hasn’t all been good for the company. As Trump rose on the platform, so did a set of racist, misogynist harassers supporting him, and that caused a major headache for the company. These trolls, not officially endorsed by the campaign, would regularly attack Trump’s critics, in many cases causing Twitter users to feel unsafe. The clashes highlighted Twitter’s inability to effectively address abuse on its platform — a problem that was one reason The Walt Disney Company walked away from a potential bid for the social media site.

Twitter’s executives, when asked about these issues during the election, said that the site is a place for all ideas. If false information or hateful rhetoric surfaces, others on the site will tweet in response.
“We have the world talking on this thing about the world,” CEO Jack Dorsey said in an interview earlier this year. “So we see every spectrum of idea and conversation.”

Health › Ebola Over, Bush Meat Business Booms In Lagos Markets by gabonsky(op): 2:21pm On Nov 07, 2016
Some bush meat sellers in some major markets say the business is booming again barely two years after the country was declared free of the deadly Ebola Virus Disease.

Some of the bush meat sellers told NAN in Lagos on Saturday that they were fully back to their business.

According to them, their customers, who deserted them because of fear of contracting Ebola, are back and they are experiencing more patronage.

Aminu Badaru, a bush meat vendor at Ajegunle-Ikorodu Road, a popular road side market along Ikorodu axis known for bush meat business, said he had been experiencing high patronage.
Badaru said he is now making more money compared to when there was EVD outbreak.

“I lost all my customers due to the warnings that people should desist from buying and eating bush meat as they were the major carriers of the disease,” he said.
“But now, I have started experiencing high patronage.”

Also, John Tanko, a supplier of bush meat in the popular Iddo-Oyingbo market, said he stopped the business to source for another means of livelihood.

“I stopped this business during the outbreak of the disease, but early this year I started selling it again, in fact, I have more customers than before,” he said.

Another bush meat hawker, Aina Tairoye, also said that her market was booming since there were no cases of Ebola Disease.

Tairoye said most restaurants, which had stopped buying the meat for their pepper soup business, had started calling her for deliveries.
She expressed her delight that the business had gained high patronage.
Ibrahim Thomas, another road side bush meat seller in Epe, applauded the federal government for taking prompt measures to curb the diseases.

“I thank our government for helping, we Nigerians, to curb the spread of the disease. I don’t have any other means of livelihood apart from this business,” he said.

“Now, I have more customers who patronise me now and I make more sales.”

The World Health Organisation (WHO) had warned people to avoid eating bush meats, saying most of them are the major carrier of Ebola.

But, given Ebola’s animal origin, it is perhaps not surprising that bush meat has been cited as a core danger associated with the outbreak.

Bush meats from bats to antelopes, squirrels, porcupines , monkeys,grasscutters, among others.
A public health expert, Azeez Bada, advised people to observe basic hygiene principles such as proper hand washing with soap and water and use of hand sanitisers.

Bada listed the symptoms of the disease to, include fever, sore throat, muscle pains, headaches, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, severe internal and external bleeding at the advanced stages of the disease.

He advocated prompt medical attention for the sick.

Car Talk › Jaguar F-type Convertible Review: A Bit Of A Looker by gabonsky(op): 10:15am On Nov 05, 2016
Jaguar F-type Convertible driving down mountain road
Price from: £57,260
Our favourite version: V6 S Convertible Automatic, list price £68,050

The F-type Convertible is the sort of Jaguar we haven't seen for decades. You see, the company’s convertibles have long been big, comfortable cruisers, whereas Jaguar says the F-type is a focussed sports car, intended to do battle with Porsche’s 911 and 718 Boxster models.

A tall order, that, because Porsche is at the top of its game at the moment. And yet the signs are promising; the F-type goes and sounds like a sports car should, and it's an absolute stunner.

Jaguar F-type Convertible seats
The most expensive version of the F-type Convertible is pitched against the Porsche 911, which has small rear seats that can be folded down to form a luggage shelf. By contrast, the F-type Convertible is a strict two-seater, with no room at all behind its seats.

The boot itself is shallow and very small, too, with room enough for a couple of overnight bags, but not much more.At least there’s plenty of leg, head and elbow room, given the car’s size. And the F-type is easy to climb in and out of thanks to large, wide-opening doors.
Comfort 7/10
Supportive seats are great for long trips
Jaguar F-type Convertible seats
Slide into the driver’s seat of the F-type and you’ll be happy to stay there for a good couple of hours. It’s supportive enough to keep you free from aches and pains, and the steering wheel offers a wide range of powered adjustment.True, the entry-level F-type feels rather unforgiving over bumpy road surfaces.

And even the more expensive models, which come with electronically adjustable suspension, can jostle and bounce you around at low speeds. However, most of the time, these are just about acceptable for a car as sporty as this.Engine and wind noise are both kept to a minimum on the motorway, too, but the rumble from the F-type’s big, fat tyres is rather noticeable.

Dashboard layout 6/10
Looks special, but not that easy to use
Jaguar F-type Convertible dashboard

There’s a cluster of switches behind the F-type’s gear lever that are hard to read in a hurry, which can often result in you punching the wrong one by mistake. The volume control for the stereo in an odd place, too, and while the switches surrounding the touchscreen in the centre of the dash are intuitive to use, the screen itself can be sluggish and buggy.It’s a pity, because the interior is rendered in tasteful materials.

Science/Technology › World's First Bionic Eye To Give Millions The Chance Of Seeing Again: Chip Bypas by gabonsky(op): 1:49pm On Nov 02, 2016
Scientists are on the brink of restoring sight to the blind by sending moving images directly to the brain.
In a world-first, surgeons have implanted a visual stimulator chip in the brain of a 30-year-old woman.
The patient, who has been totally blind for seven years, saw coloured flashes, lines and spots when signals were sent to her brain from a computer.

The diagram picture below shows how the new bionic eye would work, sending signals directly to the brain. The computer sends signals to the antenna, which is connected to the brain

Her doctors are now planning to send footage from a tiny video camera to the brain, which could provide the world’s first bionic eye and restore sight to millions.
The technology bypasses the eyes, meaning it has the potential to restore sight even to those who have lost an eye or become blinded by cancer.
During six weeks of testing, the patient has consistently seen the exact signals the scientists sent to her visual cortex, the section of the brain which usually receives images from the optic nerve.

Doctors at the University of California Los Angeles are awaiting permission from US regulators to connect the system to a camera, worn in a pair of glasses, which they hope will send moving images directly to the brain.

Dr Nader Pouratian, who performed the operation, said: ‘The moment she saw colour for the first time was a very emotional experience. It touched us all very deeply as human beings. Based on these results, this system has the potential to restore sight to the blind.’

The patient, who has asked to remain anonymous, began to lose her sight eight years ago due to a rare disease called Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome, which attacks the pigment in the eyes. Within a year of starting to lose her sight she was completely blind. Dr Pouratian inserted the stimulator – an array of tiny electrodes – into the back of her brain in August. In a four-hour procedure, surgeons cut a small hole in the back of her skull and laid the stimulator on the surface of her brain.

A small antenna receiver was implanted into the gap in her skull, which receives signals sent from a computer.
When the team receives approval from the US Food and Drug Administration, which they hope will be early next year, they will try sending video signals from a system called the Orion I, which captures images in front of the eyes using a camera on the bridge of a pair of glasses.

It is built on the success of a device called the Argus II, unveiled at Manchester Royal Eye Hospital last year, which uses a similar camera to send images to an implant at the back of the eye.
But it relied on a patient having some working retinal cells. The new system takes the concept a step further by sending signals straight to the brain. In the UK more than two million are visually impaired or blind, with no hope of a cure until now.
Professor Paulo Stanga, consultant ophthalmologist at the University of Manchester, said: ‘There are a significant number of patients who would benefit from this technology, for example people who have lost an eye on the battlefield or through trauma.’

Dan Pescod, of the Royal National Institute of Blind People, said: ‘This is a very exciting and potentially life-changing development, though the research is at an early stage.’

Dr Robert Greenberg, chairman of Second Sight, which developed Orion I, said: ‘It is rare that technological development offers such stirring possibilities. By bypassing the optic nerve and directly stimulating the visual cortex, the Orion I has the potential to restore vision to patients blinded due to virtually any reason, including glaucoma, cancer, diabetic retinopathy, or trauma.’

PRISTINEMUSCLES:
Very informative. But the idea of boiling the mixture is not advisable, reason being that most of the sulphur in the garlic and ginger are very volatile(non-resistant to heat) and as such, addition of heat is not advisable. The mixture can be prepared without boiling. I also take this mixture like everyday.
Depending on your choice, you can prepared it in either ways and we can spread the good news to our people to learn how to take good care of themselves especially their heart

Health › Lemon With Garlic Mixture: Perfect For Clearing Heart Blockages by gabonsky(op): 2:42pm On Oct 31, 2016
When you think of garlic and lemons, you might think about using them for flavoring fish or making a homemade vinaigrette. But these pungent, potent foods also have health-improving properties. One way in which garlic and lemon may be helpful is by increasing the health of your arteries. When the level of “bad” cholesterol is too high, it can build up on your artery walls. This decreases blood flow and can put you at risk for heart attack or stroke. While there are medications to decrease bad cholesterol, natural dietary changes, such as eating more garlic and lemon, may benefit you as well.
Lemon with Garlic Mixture: Perfect for Clearing Heart Blockages
Method #1
Ingredients:

Lemon juice 1 cup
Ginger juice 1cup
Garlic juice 1 cup
Apple vinegar 1 cup
Mix all and boil for half hour, or until balance of 3 cups.
Let it cool, then mix 3 cups of natural honey.
Transfer to glass bottle and keep in fridge.
Every morning, before breakfast, take one tablespoon.

Method #2
Ingredients:

Car Talk › It Will Be Raining 2017 Honda Civics At SEMA This Year by gabonsky(op): 9:23pm On Oct 29, 2016
Honda has amassed an impressive army of tuned models and concepts for next week's 2016 SEMA show in Las Vegas, with the spotlight firmly placed on the tenth generation Civic compact.

Highlighting the compact model's presence in Sin City, is the baddest one of them all, the new Honda Civic Type R prototype that has just been granted a US visa. Building on the new generation Civic hatch, it offers a preview of the next-year's high-performance model, with little, if any changes expected on the production car.

Honda continues to keep its powertrain specs a secret, but word on the street has it that it will use an upgraded version of the 2.0-liter, turbo'd-four taken from the current model producing over 300 horses.

Joining it at the Las Vegas Convention Center from November 1 will be the 2017 Civic hatch, with a Euro-inspired styling fitted with the brand's (tacky, if we're to be honest...) Factory Performance accessory concepts that add custom accessories such as a decklid spoiler, new emblems, brake rotors and carpet floor mats, in addition to the 19-inch alloy wheels and red underbody spoilers.


Arriving at the SEMA Show straight from the 2016 Global Rallycross season finale, the GRC Civic Coupe Competitive Race car will join the 2016 Coupe Racing Concept, with a FIA-approved safety cage, that will compete in domestic and international endurance events, debuting on December 3-4, at the USAF 25 Hour of Thunderhill.

Honda's extensive lineup will also include the SEGA Sonic Civic, which "embodies the spirit of the 'Sonic the Hedgehog' classic video game", as the manufacturer explains, adding custom wheels and tires, an updated exterior, a one-of-a-kind vinyl, and bespoke paint scheme. Inside, the car has special front and rear seats with Katzkin Blue Leather, Sonic the Hedgehog 25th Anniversary embroidered logos and a custom audio-visual system in the trunk, signed by Rockford Fosgate.

Designed as "the ultimate street cruiser", the Honda Civic Coupe aLL STaR Performance / Tjin Edition comes with several exterior enhancements, an Axalta Sunrise yellow paint finish, special wheels, custom coilover kit, upgraded brakes and a Katzkin perforated suede and leather interior.

The Civic frenzy continues with the Coupe / MAD Industries, completed with carbon fiber bits and pieces and finished in Aegean Blue and Jet Black, on top of the custom interior. The one-off also benefits from the Eibach Pro Kit Performance Springs and 19-inch wheels and is joined by the Civic Sedan Meguiars Build - Civic X Concept, whose performance is boosted by Greddy Performance Products' upgrades.

The last Civic to be shown in Las Vegas is the Body-In-White, which is designed "to allow amateur and pro race teams the ability to build new race cars without having to tear apart a production car", according to Honda.


Moreover, a fleet of 2017 Ridgelines will sit on the showroom floor, including a Black Edition / MAD Industries Sport Truck, paired to a Powersports MAD Edition CB500F Naked Sport Bike, both of which come with a similar paint scheme Honda will also present a Tjin Edition that comes together with the TRX250X ATV, and the RTL-E / Fox Marketing, customized with a series of Honda Factory Accessories, and paired with the FourTrax Foreman Rubicon 4x4 ATV.

You can use common and wallet friendly household ingredients to bring that glow to your skin that can make others envious. Below listed are top 10 household remedies that can be used to brighten up the complexion.

1. Use Egg White for Skin Glowing
Egg white is not only good for your health, it is beneficial for making your skin clearer. It is particularly good for those with oily skin. Apply beaten egg white on face, avoiding eyes carefully. Let it dry and then wash off with lukewarm water.

2. Use Lemon to Clear Impurities
Lemon has citric acid in it which can clear the impurities in the skin without causing damage like chemicals. It can also act as a natural bleaching agent. If you find applying the raw lemon juice on the face unsuitable, mix it with honey and apply on face. Keep on for some time and wash off with water. It’s a great and simple home remedy to glow your skin.

3. Use Cucumber for Toning Your Skin
Cucumber is not only suited for the salad bowl, but it helps tone and cleanses your skin. After washing skin, you can apply chilled cucumber juice on it. It will soothe and tone your skin at once. After some time, wash with water. And feel the glow!

4. Walnut Increases the Glow on Face
For those with dry and dull skin, Walnut can work wonders. You can soak a few walnuts in water overnight. In the morning, make a paste of soaked walnuts and rose water. Apply the mask on your face, leaving eye area. Wash the mask after 20 minutes with water. Walnut acts as a natural bleach.

5. Honey Gives a Natural Nourishment to Skin
Said to have strong healing and nourishing properties, Honey can act as your skin’s natural defenses against impurities and agents that lead to rashes and blemishes. Rub organic and raw honey on the face every day to nourish skin and soften it. Wash it with lukewarm water after some minutes.

6. Orange for Amazing Glow
The vitamin C and antioxidants found in Oranges are beneficial for health and they are good for the skin too. You can apply a raw orange juice with cotton balls on the face and wash off after 5 minutes for getting a radiant glow.

7. Turmeric Cleans the Dirt

It acts as an excellent natural exfoliating agent and brings out dirt hidden in deep pores of the skin. You can make a paste of turmeric and honey and apply the mask on the skin. Wash off with water afterward.

8. Milk and Oatmeal Can Do Wonders for Your Skin
Milk is so delicious and it is used to make so many mouth watering desserts and beverages. However, it can also be used as a nice skin cleansing agent. You may try a mask made of milk and ground Oatmeal to apply on skin. Keep it on for some time and then wash off with water.
