seriously close to swearing on airtel '3.5g' network

joeydozzy: Even me sef dey wonder
Person open thread for bbm pins and people actually add strangers pins? to do what?

Hian, bbm gone crazy...

oh man, this is hilarious.

4llerbuntu: with bis or not needed?

With the new update, without bis. But I don't like it because it breaks a lot and drains my credit. You have to be at 0.0

4llerbuntu: so what r u using now?

I'm using mtn; tweakware.
it's funny but after midnight the airtel speed becomes fast. was able to download large files I.e 100MB in minutes. however, I don't want to sacrifice sleep every night to just to download files.

lifehacker: hi humans...some files in my memory card are hidden and are only accessible via my phone.......even my computer doesnt display these files and theyre very important......exactly what u want to work with on your memory card
help......thanks

oh yeah. I had this same problem. if you have the option open the phone as MTP mode. if not, take your time and copy the files out and FORMAT the sdcard then re-copy the files back

4llerbuntu: Gentlemen good evening.

If I were to adopt Mtn as my ISP now What options do I have to get value for money?
Whether legit or otherwise I don't care really So far I can pick my phone and tablet and surf 80 percent of the time.

Or even Etisalat. I don't mind porting sef.

I have had enough of airtel. What shall it profit a man to get 2unuseable gb of data.? It's been extremely terrible and there is no hope in sight.

I thought it was because of where I stay. in my house, airtel network is 4 bars only in the gateman's room and doesn't browse. I got so frustrated I climbed to the top of a 4 story building to download a 42mb file. I could get only one bar and was browsing so slow, it said I had 275438975 days to go. and it was was on H+ not edge. thunder fire 3.5g.

boy , see speed.

the app I was talking about is RKVideo player. the good news is it does all that. the bad news is iy only works om tablets and mk808. on other phones the interface is too big.

[quote author=Da_b¤§§.]I am not sure but I think it's only the Samsung video player that have d feature. Are you using a Samsung device?[/quote]Actually, the default video player in finless ROM can do that. You can watch the whole film in preview mode and also so PIP mode with it. Will extract the apk and try it on a phone. If it works will upload to dropbox

DOCTOR AND PATIENT
The Gulf Between Doctors and
Nurse Practitioners
GETTY IMAGES
By PAULINE CHEN, M.D.
June 27, 2013
Not long ago, I attended a meeting on the
future of primary care. Most of the
physicians in the room knew one another,
so the discussion, while serious, remained
relaxed.
Toward the end of the hour, one of the
physicians who had been mostly silent
cleared his throat and raised his hand to
speak. The other physicians smiled in
acknowledgment as their colleague stood
up.
“Nurse practitioners,” he said. “Maybe we
need more nurse practitioners in primary
care.”
Smiles faded, faces froze and the room fell
silent. An outraged doctor, the color in his
face rising, stood to bellow at his
impertinent colleague. Others joined the
fray and side arguments erupted in the
back of the room. A couple of people raised
their hands to try to bring the meeting back
to order, but it was too late.
The physician had mentioned the
unmentionable.
I remembered the discord and chaos of that
meeting when I read a recent study in The
New England Journal of Medicine of nurses’
and physicians’ opinions about primary
care providers.
For several years now, health care experts
have been issuing warnings about an
impending severe shortfall of primary care
physicians. Policy makers have suggested
that nurse practitioners, nurses who have
completed graduate-level studies and up to
700 additional hours of supervised clinical
work , could fill the gap.
Already, many of these advanced-practice
nurses work as their patients’ principal
provider. They make diagnoses, prescribe
medications and order and perform
diagnostic tests. And since they are
reimbursed less than physicians, policy
makers are quick to point out, increasing
the number of nurse practitioners could
lower health care costs.
If only it were that easy.
Three years ago, a national panel of
experts recommended that nurses be able
to practice “to the full extent of their
education and training,” leading medical
teams and practices, admitting patients to
hospitals and being paid at the same rate as
physicians for the same work. But physician
organizations opposed many of the specific
suggestions, citing a lack of data or well-
designed studies to support the
recommendations.
In an effort to build consensus, the Robert
Wood Johnson Foundation then invited a
dozen leaders from national physician and
nursing groups to discuss their differences.
The hope was that face-to-face discussions
would help physicians and nurses
understand one another better and see
beyond the highly charged and emotional
rhetoric. The approach worked, at least
initially; after three meetings, the group
drafted a report filled with suggestions for
reconciling many of the differences.
But an early confidential draft was leaked
to the American Medical Association, a
group that had not been invited to
participate, and the A.M.A. immediately
expressed its opposition to the report. Soon
after , three of the participating medical
organizations — the American Academy of
Family Physicians, the American
Osteopathic Association and the American
Academy of Pediatrics — withdrew their
support, and the effort to bring physicians
and nurse practitioners together and
complete the report collapsed.
Nonetheless, many health care experts
remained confident, believing that the large
professional organizations had grown out
of touch with grass-roots-level health care
providers. The guilds might oppose one
another, but every day in medical practices,
clinics and hospitals across the country,
physicians and nurse practitioners were
working side by side without bickering.
Surely, the experts reasoned, providers who
knew and liked one another would be
receptive to trying new ways of working
together.
Wrong.
Analyzing questionnaires completed by
almost 1,000 physicians and nurse
practitioners, researchers did find that
almost all of the doctors and nurses
believed that nurse practitioners should be
able to practice to the full extent of their
training and that their inclusion in primary
care would improve the timeliness of and
access to care.
But the agreement ended there. Nurse
practitioners believed that they could lead
primary care practices and admit patients
to a hospital and that they deserved to earn
the same amount as doctors for the same
work. The physicians disagreed. Many of
the doctors said that they provided higher-
quality care than their nursing counterparts
and that increasing the number of nurse
practitioners in primary care would not
necessarily improve safety, effectiveness,
equity or quality.
A third of the doctors went so far as to
state that nurse practitioners would have a
detrimental effect on the safety and
effectiveness of care.
“These are not just professional
differences,” said Karen Donelan, the lead
author of the study and a senior scientist at
the Mongan Institute for Health Policy at
Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.
“This is an interplanetary gulf,” she said,
echoing a point in an editorial that
accompanied her study .
The findings bode poorly for future policy
efforts, since physicians are unlikely to
support efforts to increase the
responsibilities and numbers of advanced-
practice nurses in primary care. And most
nurse practitioners are unlikely to support
any proposals to expand their roles that do
not include equal pay for equal work.
Peter I. Buerhaus, senior author of the
study and a professor of nursing at
Vanderbilt University Medical Center in
Nashville, is chairman of a commission
created almost three years ago under the
Affordable Care Act to address health care
work force issues. But his group has yet to
convene because a divided Congress has
not approved White House requests for
funding .
“We’re running out of time on these
issues,” Dr. Buerhaus said. “If the staffing
differences remain unresolved, we are just
going to cause harm to the public.”
Still, by providing a clearer picture of the
extent of these professional differences, the
study should help future efforts. “It’s too
easy to say that everyone should just get
along,” Dr. Donelan said. “These arguments
touch on the whole nature of these
professions, their core values and how they
define themselves.”
“It’s like when family members are warring
over a sick patient,” she added. “We need
first to acknowledge the others’ position
and the full extent of our differences before
we can reach any kind of resolution.”

I'm surprised people are finding this strange. this is a normal occurrence in most government owned hospitals. would you want the doctors to insist that electricity be restored before the surgery be done while the patient dies ? imagine your brother getting shot and you rush to a hospital where you are told the backup generators are not working. the next thing is "doctor, do something. you swore an oath".the doctor goes ahead to save his life with rechargable lamps because he is a humanitarian. meanwhile, unknown to anyone, your brother is HIV positive.

came across this article and thought I should post it

We’re used to thinking of the
Bible as a book, but it really has
more in common with a library.
There are literally hundreds of
different viewpoints crammed in
there, many of which flatly
contradict one another. That’s
how you get books like Leviticus
—which unequivocally condemns
homosexuality—sitting alongside
things like the New Testament
scene where Jesus heals a gay
man.
It’s true: In the “faith of the
centurion” passages of both
Matthew and Luke, Jesus is called
upon to heal a centurion’s dying
servant. However, the original
Greek uses the word “pais” for
“servant”—a word which can also
mean “young gay lover.” And, in
the context of a teenage boy and
a powerful, older man, this is
almost certainly what it does
mean. In his book on Greek
homosexuality, the world’s top
scholar on Ancient Greek, Kenneth
Dover, gave hundreds of ancient
examples of “pais” being used in
an erotic context—almost always
featuring a man and a young boy.
And there’s more to back him up
than a single archaic word.
The Bible pretty explicitly states
that the centurion begs on behalf
of his “pais.” No matter how good
or diligent the servant, this simply
wouldn’t happen in the ancient
world, for the exact same reason
that none of the British
aristocracy ever really ran off with
their gardeners. Class simply
forbids it. At the same time, we
know for a fact that Roman
soldiers had homoerotic
relationships with adolescent
boys—it’s a central plot point in
Satyricon (one of only two
partially surviving Roman novels).
So, if the “pais” is the centurion’s
lover, then that means Jesus
almost certainly healed a gay
man. This, in turn, would mean
that God’s not actually the
homophobic hate-monger Fred
Phelps and his ilk want you to
think he is. In fact, this would be
a pretty solid argument for
Biblical-based tolerance . . . oh
well. Still, it’s nice to dream,
right?

thanks for the info. I'm planning on visiting the place on my honeymoon but was told by a friend that the place is lonely and boring on any other day apart from holidays. also, electricity supply is epileptic. could I get more information about the mini hotels and list the other attractions apart from the above?

10 Prohibition Alcohol

Theory: The FBI Poisoned Alcohol during Prohibition
Conspiracy theorists like to point out that the government (usually the U. S. government) is poisoning the national populace, which is blissfully unaware, via chemtrails and/or flouridation. How laughable, most of us say, and yet, although there is no proof of these two, the FBI did, in truth, poison liquor stores during Prohibition for the purpose of “dissuading” people from that demon hooch.Prohibition lasted from 1920 to 1933 in the U. S., and was absolutely unenforceable. Everyone of the public knew perfectly well that a drink now and then was not at all harmful, and refused to accept its absence. Prohibition was impelled by the Temperance Movement, which promoted teetotalism, or utter abstinence from alcohol. Its most prominent activist was Carrie Nation, a 6-foot, 180-pound, blue-haired battle axe, who stormed into bars and smashed their kegs open with a hatchet. Amazingly, no drunks ever beat her up for this.Once Prohibition went into effect, the FBI saw fit to enforce it as well as possible, since the law is the law, and, by adding potentially fatal impurities to it, endeavored to teach the public that it was going to lose with Mr. Booze. These impurities included methane, formaldehyde, ammonia, and even arsenic and kerosene. But the FBI’s usual method, without informing the populace, of course, was to denature drinkable alcohol, which is called ethanol, by adding rubbing alcohol, which is made of water and propene. Propene is distilled from natural gas and oil; rubbing alcohol does a fine job cleaning wounds and preventing infection, but will destroy your intestines, kidneys, and liver if you drink it. The FBI also added acetone, which is paint thinner.Not surprisingly, people started dying quite readily from what seemed alcohol intoxication, and this only fueled the Temperance Movement’s assertion that alcohol is the Devil.

9Gulf of Tonkin

Theory: The Incident in the Gulf of Tonkin Is Only Half True
In history books, the Gulf of Tonkin incident is usually cited as the immediate instigation for war between the United States and North Vietnam. The general casus belli was to protect the democracy of South Vietnam from the North’s communist aggression. The straw that was seen in the West as breaking the camel’s back was when, on 2 and 4 August 1964, in the waters between Vietnam and Hainan, China, U. S. naval vessels were attacked by Vietnamese naval vessels and defended themselves, killing some Vietnamese sailors.American public sentiment called for immediate retaliation, and the Congress resolved that Lyndon Johnson could defend any Southeast Asian nation from Communism. The war was on.What the public was not told for a long time was that the incident on 4 August did not take place. The first incident was a legitimate naval battle, in which the USS Maddox fought off three Vietnamese torpedo boats and killed 4 Vietnamese sailors. But two days later, the Vietnamese were engaged in salvaging their vessels and no hostilities erupted. Nevertheless, Johnson informed the public that the Maddox and the USS Turner Joy had been attacked in separate battles. The Turner Joy had not been attacked.In keeping with #3, the CIA was for a time regarded as having deliberately spread this false information among the national public to sway favor toward war against Communism. Dozens of senators and congressmen were calling for land invasions of North Vietnam, and then China, and then Russia if they dared retaliate, nuclear weapons be damned.Today, we know that the misinformation was spread by the National Security Agency, and not for political reasons, but to cover up genuine mistakes they made during the second incident: their radar showed what they thought were approaching enemy warships, but which were, in truth, tricks of light that confused their equipment

3 Pregnancy Mask
Melasma, also known as the “pregnancy mask,” happens when an increase in estrogen and progesterone throw your melanin receptors into overdrive, causing hyperpigmentation. The result is dark, splotchy patches on your body and face, most commonly on the cheeks and forehead. Because your body decided that all the weight gain and swelling just weren’t leaving you feeling ugly enough already.

2 Episiotomy

Another controversial procedure is episiotomy, which is a nice way of saying “slicing your hoo-ha open.” In an emergency situation where the baby must be delivered quickly, or if your bundle of joy was blessed with the Fat Baby Syndrome mentioned earlier, your doctor may make an incision extending from the vagina toward the anus to widen the birth canal and prevent tearing. As horrifying as the procedure is by itself, recovery is even worse, making simple actions like sitting or standing excruciating for the busy new mother.

1 Rectal And Genitourinary Prolapse

All that pushing can wreak havoc on the surrounding organs. The weakening of ligaments and muscles caused by the strain of labor can bring on two fun conditions called rectal prolapse and genitourinary prolapse. It’s pretty easy to figure out what that entails if you know what “prolapse” means, but in case you don’t, it’s when your colon or uterus basically turns itself inside-out, making an unwelcome appearance outside the anus or vagina. It can be treated with surgery, but that may not be much comfort for the 1 percent of people, mostly women, affected by colon prolapse and the estimated 50 percent of all mothers who will be affected by some degree of genitourinary prolapse.

10 Rh Incompatibility
Your Rh factor is what the little plus or minus symbol in your blood type represents. If a woman’s blood is negative for Rh factor and her partner’s is positive, there’s a good chance their children’s blood will be positive. Since the fetus’s blood intermingles with the mother’s, she may develop antibodies to the proteins in Rh-positive blood, causing her body to reject future Rh-positive children the same way the body rejects organ transplants of incompatible blood type. Women with Rh-negative blood whose partners are Rh-positive have to take shots to prevent these antibodies from forming.

9 Hot Tubs Can Cook Your Baby’s Brain

Relaxing in a hot tub during pregnancy can cause major complications for the fetus. Raising your body temperature as little as four degrees (which can happen by spending even 10 minutes soaking in a hot tub) triples the risk of the fetus developing horrifying conditions like spina bifida and other neurological birth defects. The risk is greatest during the first four to six weeks of pregnancy, a time when many women don’t even know they’re pregnant.

8 Amniocentesis

If you have certain risk factors for pregnancy complications, such as being over 35, having a family history of genetic disorders, or Rh incompatibility, your doctor may decide at some point that it’s in your baby’s best interest to stick a needle in your belly. Amniocentesis is a test performed by extracting amniotic fluid (the “water” that “breaks,” basically, the stuff your baby floats around in) by straight-up plunging a hypodermic needle into your womb through your stomach. This fluid can be tested for a ton of valuable information, but you’ll probably want to look away while they do it.

7 Placenta Problems

The placenta is an organ that grows in the womb alongside the fetus and provides it with nutrition, oxygen, and a bunch more important stuff via the umbilical cord. In theory, it attaches itself high in the uterus, out of the way of the necessary business, but sometimes it just wanders off wherever it darn well pleases. Placenta abruptio and placenta previa, which are actually not Harry Potter spells, are the two biggest problems. Placenta abruptio is when the placenta partially or completely peels away from the uterine wall and just floats around in the womb and causes all kinds of problems. Placenta previa is when the placenta stubbornly refuses to move itself up from the bottom of the womb, sometimes covering the cervix, which can be a pretty big concern since that’s where the baby needs to come out.

6 Gestational Diabetes

Did you know you can develop a debilitating chronic disease exclusively for the period of your pregnancy? You can! Gestational diabetes occurs when the hormones from the placenta that help the fetus grow cause insulin resistance in the mother. This can result in macrosomia, which is medical-ese for “fat baby.” About 18 percent of pregnant women develop gestational diabetes, and 9 percent of babies meet the criteria for macrosomia, which is a weight of more than 8 pounds, 13 ounces. Obviously, the implications for delivering such a baby are unpleasant—to say the least.

5 Meconium Staining

Most babies are polite enough to refrain from pooping for the first time until they’re well outside of their mom, but about 10–15 percent of the time, they poop while they’re still in the uterus. These first stools, called meconium, are a thick greenish-black liquid that is expelled with the amniotic fluid when the water breaks. That’s right, you may end up spewing someone else’s feces from your vagina. Aside from being really gross, this can result in a serious condition for the baby called meconium aspiration syndrome—because poop isn’t really the healthiest thing to breathe.

4 Amniotomy

Once labor begins, your doctor may suspect problems that necessitate examining the amniotic fluid. But what if your water hasn’t broken yet? Or maybe it’s just not going fast enough? In this case, amniotomy may be performed. In layman’s terms, that means jamming a glorified crochet hook up your cervix

wish I could help explain what happened or how to fix it. never heard or seen such before.

Tochi4life: @ Mr Leo, I don't know what made me decide to try a faulty battery I've left in my drawer for months. Plugged it and after some hours the screen started dimming and showing ink and now I can't even see anything again.

my post wasn't hidden so I don't understand what you are talking about. in your post above you said battery but earlier you said charger. most microUSB chargers supply 5v 500mah so I'm trying to understand how the charger spoilt the phone. considering I buy and destroy any microUSB charger with disregard to maker I want to know what you were using that charger for.
if you have access to a MHL cable and an LCD TV and a PS3 controller, you can turn the phone into a gaming station. the phone still has potentials, assuming the board isn't fried.

my uncle was once a security man. read vet medicine but couldn't find a job. had one pair of shoes for two years. use to sleep in containers at night with his dog. he started small and took years but now he owns a large security outfit on the south east, travels to America every summer with his children who are all studying abroad and just bought infinity jeeps for him and his wife.

HOW DARE YOU LOOK DOWN AT A SECURITY MAN OR AT ANOTHER HUMAN BEING.

Tochi4life: Guys please I have an S2 for sale 10k I put it it up for 28k just this morning but now I mistakenly used a faulty charger to charge it and the screen has burnt and is now very dim with some parts black everything works fine and you can still see it.

Please explain more on the faulty charger. how was it faulty?
