SportsJosé Mourinho Names His Three Best Footballers Of All Time by obamanuru(op): 10:50am On Jul 20, 2016
Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has admitted that Lionel Messi, Pele and Diego Maradona are the three greatest players in football history, but the Portuguese tactician shocked the world by leaving out his fellow countryman Cristiano Ronaldo.
Ronaldo and Messi have been the world’s greatest footballers of this generation, sharing the last eight Ballon d’Ors, yet Mourinho has opted for the Barcelona man ahead of his former Real Madrid player.
“For me the top three players in history are Messi, Pele and Maradona,” he said.
Ronaldo is a three-time Ballon d’Or winner himself while Messi won an unprecedented five Ballon d’Ors.

Crafted by London's Machine Shop, this likeness of Pegasus consists of 3,500 Huawei handsets and many supporting rods.

Creating the sculpture involved much cutting and soldering of iron rods (more than 650 yards), unpacking of phones, and sticky pads. It took 720 man-hours to make Pegasus, which is nearly 19 feet tall with a 16-foot wingspan.


CGI by visual effects firm Framestore in the vid below shows Pegasus in flight. Indeed, the sculpture's forelegs are uplifted and its wings are outstretched, as if the fantastic creature will take to the skies above Barcelona.

Education'li-fi 100 Times Faster Than Wi-fi' by obamanuru(op): 9:20pm On Nov 27, 2015
A new method of delivering data,
which uses the visible spectrum
rather than radio waves, has been
tested in a working office. Li-fi can deliver internet access 100
times faster than traditional wi-fi,
offering speeds of up to 1Gbps (gigabit
per second). It requires a light source, such as a
standard LED bulb, an internet
connection and a photo detector. It was tested this week by Estonian
start-up Velmenni, in Tallinn. Velmenni used a li-fi-enabled light bulb
to transmit data at speeds of 1Gbps.
Laboratory tests have shown theoretical
speeds of up to 224Gbps. It was tested in an office, to allow
workers to access the internet and in an
industrial space, where it provided a
smart lighting solution. Speaking to the International Business Times, chief executive Deepak Solanki said that the technology
could reach consumers "within three to
four years". The term li-fi was first coined by Prof
Harald Haas from Edinburgh University,
who demonstrated the technology at a
Ted (Technology, Entertainment and
Design) conference in 2011. His talk, which has now been watched
nearly two million times, showed an LED
lamp streaming video. Prof Haas described a future when
billions of light bulbs could become
wireless hotspots. One of the big advantages of li-fi is the
fact that, unlike wi-fi, it does not
interfere with other radio signals, so
could be utilised on aircraft and in other
places where interference is an issue. While the spectrum for radio waves is in
short supply, the visible light spectrum is
10,000 times larger, meaning it is
unlikely to run out any time soon. But the technology also has its
drawbacks - most notably the fact that
it cannot be deployed outdoors in direct
sunlight, because that would interfere
with its signal. Neither can the technology travel
through walls so initial use is likely to be
limited to places where it can be used
to supplement wi-fi networks, such as in
congested urban areas or places where
wi-fi is not safe, such as hospitals

Luis Suarez is no stranger to shocking the world. And the Barcelona forward is ready to do that once again this weekend, wearing possibly the most outrageous boots ever made.

The former Liverpool favourite, famed for his controversial antics in the past, will exclusively sport the latest number of the adidas F50 ‘There will be haters’ collection, aptly named ‘Love/Hate’.

Fans either love the mercurial genius or hate his bad boy reputation. They may be equally divided over his choice of ‘tattoo inspired’ footwear too, which he will wear in Sunday’s 11am La Liga showdown at the Nou Camp against Rayo Vallecano.

SportsFIFA Rallies World Football Stars In Campaign Against The Ebola Virus Dis.(Pics) by obamanuru(op):
FIFA has set up an awareness and prevention campaign to support the fight against Ebola in conjunction with the African Football Confederation (CAF) and health experts. Called Together we can beat Ebola, it involves a selection of the world’s top footballers are publishing eleven messages to raise awareness of the disease and ways to combat it. And three of those players, Neymar, Gerard Piqué and Xavi Hernández, are from FC Barcelona. Each of them make recommendations that were specially chosen by doctors and health specialists from Africa, the World Bank Group and the World Health Organisation (WHO), who are working hard to eradicate the disease from West Africa.

Speaking about the importance of such initiatives, Neymar said that “it is very important for the right information to reach the people affected by the outbreak of Ebola. We all hope that this positive campaign can help people get a better understanding of the Ebola virus and reduce the chances of it spreading. We are supporting this campaign in order to help our brothers and sisters in the most affected regions of the world. Together, we can beat Ebola."

Health10 Things You SHOULD Know About The Deadly Ebola Virus by obamanuru(op): 10:22am On Jul 30, 2014
Ebola Virus Disease (EVD), formerly known as Ebola haemorrhagic fever, is a severe, often fatal illness in humans.
EVD outbreaks have a case fatality rate of up to 90% meaning9 out of 10 people who contract the disease are likely to die
The virus is transmitted to people from wild animals and spreads in the human population through human-to-human transmission.
Ebola can be contracted through direct contact (through broken skin or mucous membranes) with the blood, secretions, organs or other bodily fluids of infected people including semen and vaginal fluid.
Contact with the corpse of a diseased person can also lead to infection with the virus.
The symptoms of Ebola include fever, intense weakness, muscle pain, headache and sore throat.
The incubation period, that is, the time interval from infection with the virus to onset of symptoms, is 2 to 21 days
Suspicious wild life aka Bush meat should be avoided as much as possible and animal products to be consumed should be thoroughly cooked before consumption.
Regular hand washing is advisable to avoid picking up germs. Use soap and water, or alcohol-based hand rubs containing at least 60 percent alcohol
Be aware. Get as much information as you can about Ebola. Protect yourself and your family. Prevention is better than cure
HealthTeen Gets 232 "Teeth" Removed In Mumbai by obamanuru(op): 12:03pm On Jul 25, 2014
- A teenager in India, who had more than 200 "teeth" growing in his mouth due to a benign dental tumor, has had them removed.
Ashik Gavai, a 17-year-old student from Buldhana, underwent the six-hour operation, which involved four doctors at Mumbai's J.J. Hospital on July 21.
The teen had 232 denticles -- abnormal teeth-like growth -- lodged in his mouth due to a complex composite odontoma, a benign dental tumor.
The abnormal teeth were embedded in the bone inside the lower right jaw and were not visible from outside the mouth. Surgeons say the surgery was "dangerous" and the patient's jawbone will take three to four months to heal.
"It is very common for a person to have a (small) number of abnormal teeth, but this many is very rare," said Dr. Sunanda Dhiware, head of the Department of Dentistry at J.J. Hospital. She adds that she knows of cases where 40 to 50 teeth were removed.
Gavai's normal teeth are to remain in his mouth, although the doctors did help to remove a wisdom tooth.
The teen is currently recovering in the hospital and has been put on a liquid diet of mainly coconut water and milk.
According to Dr. Vandana Thoravade, surgeon in the ENT department at J.J. Hospital, the operation could have cost as much as 250,000 rupees (about $4,000), which the Gavai family could not afford. The teen's father is a farm laborer who earns 150-200 rupees ($2-3) a day.
The government's Rajiv Gandhi Jeevandayee Arogya Yojana program -- which supports low income patients -- took care of the bill.
Gavai's doctors said the denticles likely started to form when the patient was six years old, but Gavai did not notice the abnormal teeth until a month ago, when his mouth began to swell.
The village doctors near his home in Buldhana District, about 500 km from Mumbai, were unable to treat Gavai's condition, and referred him to the Mumbai hospital.
Doctors say denticles are likely to grow again in Gavai's mouth, but

SportsCan Suarez, Messi & Neymar Fit Together At barcelona? by obamanuru(op): 6:07pm On Jul 10, 2014
ANALYSIS: The Blaugrana are poised to assemble the
most talented all-South American front three since Brazil
lined up with Ronaldo, Rivaldo and Ronaldinho - but will
it work?
Luis Enrique joked when he took
charge of Barcelona that the
psychologist he intended to make a
part of his backroom staff was just
for him. With Liverpool’s Luis Suarez
now on his way to Camp Nou, that
may no longer be the case. Still, the new Blaugrana boss will need
all the emotional support he can get this season, because trying to
keep the Uruguayan, Lionel Messi and Neymar happy could drive a
lesser man insane.
On paper, of course, Luis Enrique will soon be in possession of
arguably the greatest all-South American front three the game has
seen since Ronaldo, Rivaldo and Ronaldinho inspired Brazil to
World Cup glory in 2002. However, as we are so often told, games
are not won on paper; Argentina’s goalscoring problems at this
summer’s tournament prove as much.
The Albiceleste have reached the final but they have managed just
eight goals in six games – despite being in a position to field a
frontline containing Messi, Gonzalo Higuain and Sergio Aguero/
Ezequiel Lavezzi. Messi has accounted for half of his country’s
World Cup tally in Brazil but even he has not netted since the
group stage.
Where best to position the four-time Ballon d’Or winner has been a
topic of much debate for the Argentines, as has the most suitable
system. Messi made his preference for a 4-3-3 perfectly clear
after the group-stage win over Bosnia and Herzegovina and, from
a tactical perspective, things should run quite smoothly in
Catalunya.
Luis Enrique is a Barcelona man through and through. Ergo, he is a
firm advocate of the 4-3-3 formation with which the club has
become synonymous. A three-man front line is, therefore,
precisely what Luis Enrique always intended to field – with or
without Suarez.
Furthermore, all three superstar forwards seem ideally suited to
the system. Neymar, like Ronaldinho, is most comfortable on the
left-hand side of the attack, as it allows him to cut infield onto his
right foot to devastating effect. Messi is no out-and-out centre
forward but the 'false nine' position was effectively created for him
by Pep Guardiola, a tactic which allows the Argentine to
simultaneously roam free and be the focal point of the attack.
Suarez, meanwhile, is a versatile footballer, capable of leading the
line, as he has done so effectively at Liverpool over the past two
seasons, but also creating goals for others, often by drifting wide
to exploit the space in the channels. It is that latter quality that
should enable him to flourish at Camp Nou.
Suarez is also willing to work for the team, as evidenced by the
way in which he readily agreed to occasionally play out wide to
accommodate Daniel Sturridge through the middle at Liverpool last
season. However, Brendan Rodgers' side was always based
around getting the best out of Suarez. He was the star man. He
will not be afforded that status at Camp Nou.

SportsDONE DEAL: Suarez Joins Barcelona For€88m by obamanuru(op): 2:54pm On Jul 10, 2014
The Catalan giants will imminently announce the capture
of the Uruguay star after agreeing to meet the release
clause inserted in the striker's new Liverpool contract
last December
Jul 10, 2014 08:55:00
By Wayne Veysey
Luis Suarez is on the brink of
officially completing his sensational
transfer from Liverpool to Barcelona
after the terms of a deal worth just
over €88 million were agreed on
Wednesday night.
The agreement comes after a week of negotiations between the
clubs, with an announcement expected in the coming days -
perhaps even within 24 hours.
Barcelona have captured Suarez in a straight cash deal after
agreeing to meet the release clause in the Liverpool contract he
signed last December.
It is believed that Suarez will undergo initial medical examinations
from Barca doctors in his native Uruguay, where he has been
staying following his country's elimination from the World Cup.
Officials from the Catalan club have been negotiating with their
counterparts from Merseyside in the last week over the structure of
payments in the deal, with Liverpool pushing for a higher initial
sum.
An agreement has now been reached and the final formalities will
be completed before Suarez is announced as Barcelona's marquee
signing of the summer.
The 27-year-old is currently serving a four-month ban - which
runs until October 26 - for biting Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini
while playing for Uruguay in his nation's final World Cup group
stage match.
Under the terms of the suspension, Suarez is not allowed to train
with his club or enter the confines of any stadium during his ban.
Barca will partly fund the signing of the 27-year-old by selling
Alexis Sanchez to Arsenal. The Chile World Cup star will move to
Emirates Stadium after Arsenal agreed a package worth €40m
(£31.8m) with the Spanish club .
Liverpool will now look to strengthen their squad using some of
the money from the Suarez deal. The Merseysiders are on the
verge of completing a triple swoop for Benfica winger Lazar
Markovic, Lille striker Divock Origi and Southampton defender
Dejan Lovren.
