Education / Study Math Easily :mobile App That Solves Math Equations With Your Phone Camera by matrixx9(m): 2:07pm On Oct 23, 2014
Need a little help getting through your next big
math exam? MicroBlink has an app that could
help you study more effectively -- perhaps too
effectively. Its newly unveiled PhotoMath for iOS
and Windows Phone (Android is due in early 2015)
uses your smartphone's camera to scan math
equations and not only solve them, but show the
steps involved. Officially, it's meant to save you
time flipping through a textbook to check answers
when you're doing homework or cramming for a
test. However, there's a concern that this could
trivialize learning -- just because it shows you how
to solve a problem doesn't mean that the
knowledge will actually sink in. And if teachers
don't confiscate smartphones at the door,
unscrupulous students could cheat when no one is
looking. The chances of that happening aren't very
high at this stage, but apps like this

Politics / Bomb Blast At Bauchi Bus Station Kills Five, 12 Others Injured by matrixx9(m): 10:24am On Oct 23, 2014
A bomb exploded at a bus station in
northern Nigeria's Bauchi
state late on Wednesday, killing at least five people
and wounding 12,
police said.
The blast, which struck the town of Azare, is likely to
be blamed on
Islamist Boko Haram militants, casting further
doubt on government
reports that it had reached a temporary ceasefire with
the rebels in order
to secure the release of more than 200 schoolgirls they
are holding hostage.
Police did not comment on who was behind the
attack.
The insurgents have repeatedly bombed public places
since they launched
an uprising demanding an Islamic state in
religiously mixed Nigeria five
years ago. They have stepped up their campaign this
year, setting off
deadly blasts across the country.
"Five persons burned beyond recognition were certified
dead, while 12
others sustained various degrees of injuries," Bauchi
police spokesman
Haruna Mohammed said in a statement.
"The entire surrounding (area) has been cordoned
off ... No arrest has yet
been made, but an investigation has commenced."
Nearly a week after the government announced a
ceasefire deal with Boko
Haram, which it said would include the release of
the girls kidnapped from
the secondary school in Chibok in northeastern
Nigeria in April, there is
still no sign of them being freed.
A number of attacks has raised doubts over the
ceasefire, although Boko
Haram is so factionalised it is possible a truce has
been reached with one
group, while others continue with violence.
Talks to release the schoolgirls are taking place this
week between the
government and a Boko Haram representative in the
Chadian capital N'Djamena, but they are shrouded
in secrecy.
A Chadian diplomat told Reuters that a deal could
still be reached if this faction has ultimate control
over
the girls -- although analysts say that could be
divided between several cooperating factions.
Boko Haram, which only communicates messages
via jihadist videos of a man claiming to be its leader
Abubakar Shekau, has not yet commented on the
alleged ceasefire

Religion / Pastor Chris’ Daughter Rejects Him, Supports Her Mum On Divorce by matrixx9(m): 11:16pm On Oct 21, 2014
A decision is set to be announced on the divorce
suit filed by Anita Oyakhilome against her
husband Rev. Chris Oyakhilome, the President of
Christ Embassy church.
Funny enough, the couple’s first daughter
Sharon Oyakhilome has decided to take sides,
supporting her mum against her father, Pastor
Chris. She took to Twitter to post a cryptic
message which seemingly appears to support her
mother’s divorce decision.
Her tweets appear to be similar to the case Rev.
Anita Oyakhilome cited in the divorce papers
where she stated that her husband had been
away for the most part of their marriage.
In Defence of Anita Oyakhilome the FRustrated
Wife:
“Anita Oyakhilome, the frustrated wife of
Nigeria’s most flamboyant preacher, Chris
Oyakhilome has obviously passed through 15
years of adulterous endurance and what she
needs is our prayers and protective respect and
defense of her choices to forget all the anti-
rhapsody of heartbreak she endured all these
years.Fifteen (15) years of being abandoned by a
preacher husband is not an easy way of lifefor
a preacher’s wife. Fifteen (15) years of hearing
that some mini skirted daughters of Jezebel have
taken over your possession is not a joke. Fifteen
years of a husband not staying with the wife for
up to a week on a stretch,while spending time
with some double breasted figure eight(ed)
daughters of eve is not an easy thing to
swallow. 15 years of being used as a showcase to
make church members believe in Rhapsodies of
Blissful Union, while dying in silence,is not a
palatable experience for any woman.
Fifteen years of being called Mama, Mummy,
and other glorified names of Senior Pastor’swife
while some domestic harems sneer at the same
Mummy behind is not a sweet experience. For
goodness sake, this woman never probably had
a good kiss in fifteen years and yet she is being
accused of carnality for crying out loud.She was
continually being led into temptation of seeking
for s*xual satisfaction from outside for fifteen
years and she managed to escape the traps of
sin.
Fifteen years when their two lovely daughters
would wake up and ask their mother why Dad
had not cared to visit, and she would have to
release a lie to stave off the frequent probing
questions. Above all, fifteen years when Anita
had to fake that all is well with their marriage,
while she is actually dying emotionally. Every
person she complained to among the pastoral
cadre sided with the man, and she was left
alone to bear her cross.
I warned some pastor friends with Christ
Embassy early 2013 that they had better settle
this marriage rift between Oga and his wife
before it destroys the church. The same pastors
have called me to express regret that a national
embarrassment has ensued.This woman has
been called Jezebel by some pastors and members
of the church. Some claimed she was
disrespectful while others claimed she was
always bitter of recent.They have tried to
castigate her before members of the church who
came in private to ask for the way out. She was
described as unreasonable and insubordinate.
Her husband, according to news reports has even
followed to cast her in bad light. According to
Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, “Bitterness is prolonged
and accumulate danger. My wife is always
angry and bitter,” Going further he told his
members to “Be careful of the friends you keep.
My wife keeps friends who bring out the worst in
her and help her see the worst in people, instead
of keeping friends that will help her vision,
especially as the wife of a global pastor like
me.”Please, which preacher woman who has been
abandoned for fifteen years will not be bitter
and angry? Was Anita expected to clap and
dance while some hot legs are parading around
the White House?
This pastor’s wife was also disclaimed by her
husband who told his congregants in reaction to
the divorce saga that Anita is not necessarily a
Woman of God.According to Pastor Oyakhilome
“Don’t act like those people. If you are married to
a man of God, it doesn’t make you
automatically mature. You can make mistakes;
you can do something that is wrong. But some
people expect the wife of a minister to definitely
be at the level of that minister and so they may
be looked upon and the expectation may be like
that, but it’s a positional thing”.He clarified his
theory by saying that “If a man of God is
married, it doesn’t automatically mean that the
wife of a man of God is therefore a woman of
God.
“That’s not the way it is in the Bible.” Pastor
Chris also added that “That’s why you don’t
really find the wives of men of God mentioned in
the Bible. How many of them? Who was Peter’s
wife, did you ever know her name? You never
find that out. Who was John’s wife? Did you ever
read the name? What about all theother
Apostles? How many of their names are written
in the Bible. You never find their names.”
Anita Oyakhilome actually proved that she has
fear of God in the manner she worded her divorce
plea. She opted to use the word “inappropriate
relationship with female staff members” instead
of out rightly accusing her husband of
adultery.According to the statement, “the wife
has discussed with the husband his appropriate
relationship with some of his female staff
members. She has explained that this has given
her cause for concern. The husband has
minimised her worries and taken no step to
alleviate her grievances.”
Anita Oyakhilome could have said that her
husband abandoned her and ran into the arms
of sister A or B, or gospel singer C or D and left
her roasting and murmuring in the house.
Anita could have said that her husband is a
hypocrite who says a thing and means another,
but she veiled her grievances of years of
abandonment by saying in the divorce file that
“The wife feels that she has been used to portray
and enhance the husband’s image as a family
man when the reality is that there is no existing
relationship between them. She feels that she has
been present for official functions simply for his
convenience.
On occasions she has been copied into his travel
itinerary which has been given to him by his
staff on a need to know basis”. “The wife has
tried to discuss her concernswith the husband.
He claims that she is carnal and he is
insensitive to her feelings and her needs.”
Thus Anita had acted with much restraint in
order to preserve the integrity of Christ Embassy
and the work of evangelism, and all she got for
her discretion was hate messages all many
sections of church members who wanted her to
sacrifice her marriage to keep them in a
rhapsody of deceit.
This woman, according to the testimony of
many British residents who attend their church,
is one person who is always willing to give gifts
to the needy. She is ever ready to counsel people
and does not breed class. She is a patient
listener who laboriously introduced many things
in the church for which the glory goes to her
husband. Londoners believe that she is not that
demon theywant to portray her as. Those who
know her closely have attested to an affectionate
good naturedness and stickler for details.
Whatsoeverthing some misguided church
members want to think, Anita had lived a lie
formany years. Anita was said to have became
born again at believers Loveworldcampus
fellowship at Ambrose Alli University Ekpoma,
while Chris was thepastor. She had probably
paid her dues as a Christian and knows what it
is todeceive the congregation. She cannot deceive
herself and the church anymorethus she opted
for divorce. Divorce, according to scripture is
unbiblical, but between deceiving a
congregation that already knows the truth but
pretends otherwise and staying in unfulfilled
marriage, which is better. It is a matter between
her and her conscience.
Last year, a Nigerian personality blogger by
name Ese Walter was lured by her Senior Pastor
in Abuja into a cozy hotel bed space in London
and after two weeks of adultery, the man
cleaned up, returned to Nigeria and told his
congregation to shout some Hallelujah. The sin
partner was arrested by the Holy Spirit and she
sought a meeting with the COZA Chief to resolve
the burden of guilt. She was continually
shunned and described as agent of satan even
by other senior pastors in the church until she
turned the internet into the confessional. Ese
Walter freed her conscience and probably
escaped eternal damnation but the entire
Christendom took the brunt of the exposure.
Anita has chosen to free herself from a life of
deceit and lies. The truth had set her free.
However, I still counsel her that if the
misbehaving preacher husband demonstrates a
verifiable change of heart, she should consider
him back and so that somebody can shout some
more Hallelujah. Fifteen years of adulterous
endurance in the midst of charismatic rhapsody
is not easy and Anita Oyakhilome sure needs
all the defense and understanding she can get-
Let somebody shout a better Hallelujah!”

Politics / President Jonathan Addresses Nigerians As W.H.O Declares Nigeria Ebola Free by matrixx9(m): 11:04pm On Oct 21, 2014
This is what Mr President Posted On his Facebook
Page.
" Yesterday, Nigeria was declared Ebola free by
the
World Health Organization, (WHO). The
declaration is
an attestation to the Nigerian Can Do Spirit. It is
also
a clear demonstration of the many possibilities of
our
Nation. With us as a people, united under God,
there
is nothing we cannot achieve when we stand
together
behind an objective. Unity is the secret weapon
Nigeria
used against the Ebola Virus Disease and nothing
shall be impossible for a united Nigeria. I
congratulate and thank all Nigerians on this great
feat. I want to also specially thank the
governments
and peoples of Lagos, Rivers and Enugu states, the
first responders who treated the index cases. To
all the
thirty six state governors who united with the
Federal
Government to rid Nigeria of this scourge I also
say a
big thank you. Although we have been declared
free of
Ebola we must however, remain vigilant as the
Ebola
virus is still on rampage in neighboring Sister
Countries. We cannot afford to let down our guard
when there is still Ebola pain in our subregion. In
this
regard we will spare no resource in supporting our
neighbors in the battle to contain this deadly
scourge.
May God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
GEJ"

Phones / Asian Students Create Battery That Charges For 15 Minutes But Lasts For 20 Years by matrixx9(m): 10:32pm On Oct 17, 2014
This really sounds unbelievable but it's quite true.
Charging your phone battery can be inconvenient
and take awhile , but what if you could get a proper
power refueling in just a few minutes? Scientists at
the Nanyang Technological University in Singapore
say they developed a lithium-ion battery that can
go from zero to 70% power capacity in two minutes.
Lithium-ion batteries are commonly used in phones
and tablets. Perhaps even more importantly, the
battery lasts much longer than the ones we have
now, an attribute that could boost the electric car
industry, developers said. The new battery is
supposed to last for 10,000 cycles, a lifespan
estimated at two decades and more than 10 times
longer than what we're used to. In contrast, Apple
says its phone batteries are designed to "retain up to
80% of its original capacity at 500 complete charge
cycles." Generally, the more you recharge a battery,
the more it loses its luster over time. The breakthrough
here is with the battery's anode or negative pole,
which traditionally works with graphite. The
graphite is replaced with a newly developed gel
made from an "abundant, cheap and safe" material
called titanium dioxide that's found in soil. It's also
an active ingredient in sunscreen . The researchers
were able to morph the spherically- shaped titanium
dioxide into tubular strands that are 1,000-times
thinner than a human hair. The gel speeds up
reactions taking place inside the new battery,
propelling the hyper-fast recharging. The researchers
think the battery's most important impact will be on
the electric car industry . Potential adopters can be
turned off by the long recharge times and shorter
battery lifespans for electric vehicles. With this
battery, however, recharging your car — timewise —
wouldn't be so far off from filling up a tank a gas. It
should take about five minutes to give you enough
power to get back on the road and 15 minutes for a
full charge, the researchers said in a statement .
Replacement batteries for electric cars are costly , too,
with some priced at more than $5,000. Another
benefit is that it would cut down on waste resulting
from battery disposals. When talking about
"breakthroughs" for battery technology, expectations
can be very high. Don't treat this as consumer reality
just yet, but it's good to know that scientists are
trying to make batteries more efficient. Developers
expect the new batteries to hit the market in the next
two years.

Phones / Apple Introduces The New Ipadair 2 And Ipad Air 3 by matrixx9(m): 8:14pm On Oct 17, 2014
Update: Apple’s specs page for the iPad mini 3 says
that it has the A7 processor, not the new A8 that
debuted in the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. This year’s small
form-factor tablet from Apple is called the iPad mini
3, dropping the distinction between the original iPad
mini and last year’s mini with Retina. It’s got the
same A7 system-on-a-chip as last year’s model (as
opposed to the beefier A8X in the new iPad Air 2 ). Like
its bigger sibling, the iPad mini 3 receives Apple’s
Touch ID fingerprint scanner and will come with iOS
8.1, meaning you’ll be able to use it with Apple Pay
for online purchases. There’s also a new pricing
scheme for the iPad mini, impacted by the fact that
Apple will continue to sell the original iPad mini, as
well as last year’s Retina model. The price of entry for
the iPad lineup is now only $249 (if you’re willing to
use 2-year-old hardware), but it also means you can
get last year’s A7-powered Retina wonder for only
$299. As with the new iPhones and the iPad Air 2, the
new iPad mini 3 will be available in three tiers,
priced by storage: 16 GB, 64 GB, and 128 GB.

Health / Alarm As Man Travelling From Nigeria To U.S Dies During Flight by matrixx9(m): 6:30am On Oct 17, 2014
A plane from Nigeria landed at JFK Airport
Thursday with a male passenger aboard
who had died during the flight after a fit
of vomiting — and CDC officials conducted
a “cursory” exam before announcing there
was no Ebola and turning the corpse over
to Port Authority cops to remove, Rep.
Peter King said on Thursday.
The congressman was so alarmed by the
incident — and by what he and employees
see as troubling Ebola vulnerabilities at JFK
— that he fired off a letter to the federal
Department of Homeland Security
demanding more training and tougher
protocols for handling possible cases there.
The unnamed, 63-year-old passenger had
boarded an Arik Air plane out of Lagos,
Nigeria, on Wednesday night, a federal law
enforcement source said.
During the flight, the man had been
vomiting in his seat, the source said. Some
time before the plane landed, he passed
away. Flight crew contacted the CDC,
federal customs officials and Port Authority
police, who all boarded the plane at around
6 a.m. as about 145 worried passengers
remained on board, the source said.
“The door [to the terminal] was left open,
which a lot of the first responders found
alarming,” said the source.
“My understanding was that the passenger
was vomiting in the seat,” King (R-LI) said.
“The CDC went on the plane, examined the
dead body and said the person did not
have Ebola,” King said.
“It was what I was told a cursory
examination. The Port Authority cops and
personnel from Customs and Border
Protection were there, and they were told
there was no danger because the person
did not have Ebola,” King said.
“But their concern was, how could you tell
so quickly? And what adds to the concern
is how wrong the CDC has been over the
past few weeks.”
Between 70 and 100 passengers a day
arrive at JFK from Liberia, Sierra Leone
and Guinea, the three West African
countries that are the epicenter of the
outbreak, King said.
“These individuals transit the airport with
the rest of the traveling population,
including using the restrooms,” King wrote
to Jeh Johnson, secretary of the
Department of Homeland Security, in a
letter Thursday.
“Only after they arrive at the Customs and
Border Patrol primary screening location
that they are separated and sent to
secondary inspection for a medical check
and to complete the questionnaire,” he
wrote Johnson.
King’s letter demands that Homeland
Security immediately beef up protocols for
what happens to potentially infected
passengers in flight and at the terminal
itself, prior to their reaching the screening
location.
The letter also demands that training and
safety equipment improve for the Port
Authority police and Customs and Border
Patrol officials who can come into contact
with high-risk passengers.
“I believe there should be a suspension of
direct flights and connecting flights from
these three countries,” King said. “And
maybe anyone with a visa from those
countries, and who has been living in those
countries, should be barred” from entering
the US, he added.
No other information was immediately
available about the deceased Nigerian
passenger.
