If you’re out and about on the streets of Britain this week
you might want to keep an eye on where you’re going to
avoid bumping into the invisible people that may be lining
its streets.
A body artist who has been making her subjects ‘disappear’
into famous landmarks. Trina Merry, 34, spends up to
eight hours painstakingly painting the bodies of models so
that they are almost invisible to the eye by blending them
into the backgrounds of familiar UK landmarks.
From traditional British sights like Stonehenge and
Westminster Abbey to 21st century vistas such as the
London Eye and the capital s modern metallic skyline.
Originally from the USA Trina started her body paintings
in New York last year, painting female subjects so that
they blended in with the city’s landmarks.
In NYC Trina had the law on her side as the city allows
people to strip off in public for the purpose of artistic
expression. However, she had to do some serious
negotiating with London police in order to complete her
work.
The authorities were not the only obstacle that Trina
faced as her work attracted fascinated crowds of
bystanders and hundreds of confused tourists who were all
keen to ask questions.
For Trina the process creates a new way of viewing people
in the cities they live in.
‘They’re softly in the background, and you’ve got more of
a reflective view of the person within the landscape.’
The process of creating each work requires great patience.
It is a carefully-planned ritual, which involves waiting
until there is no chance of rain which could wash off the
meticulously detailed designs.

A military source said some of the sect men had boarded a
truck in a bid to leave the state but were arrested after
the truck driver notified soldiers at a checkpoint that
passengers in his vehicle had threatened to kill him if he
did not take them out of the state.
"We arrested over 50 members of the Islamic sect
following tips we got from the driver as well as locals. I
can tell you they are cooperating and giving us useful
information" the security source said
A member of the local volunteer group, Aliyu Mamza, said
his group was also instrumental to the arrest of the sect
members.
According to him, 46 BH men hid in the compartment of
the truck meant for transporting goats and were exposed
after the driver of the truck notified soldiers. Six other
members were arrested at the Biu bus station as they were
about boarding a bus out of Borno.

Nigeria’s national telecommunications carrier is back at
the number two spot in terms of active subscriber base,
according to the latest information released by the
industry regulator, the Nigerian Communications
Commission.
Globacom reclaimed the spot it conceded briefly to Airtel a
few months ago.
The latest information, which has been updated on NCC’s
website, indicated that Glo’s subscriber base climbed up by
2.8 million new subscribers between February and June
this year, the largest by any operator in the country
within the period.
In essence, Glo had 27,327,646 subscribers on its network
at the end of June, 2014. The figure translates to 21 per
cent share of the Nigerian telecoms market, and places
Glo second to MTN which has 56,516,759.
Airtel, which briefly occupied the second position early this
year, falls to the third place with 25,302,160 subscribers
and 20 per cent market share. Etisalat retains the fourth
position with 19,390,285 customers which represents 15
per cent share of the market.
Instructively, while Glo and Etisalat made gains between
the last time NCC released subscriber figures in February,
and now, MTN and Airtel recorded losses. The figures for
the operators as of the end of February were 57,183,745
for MTN, 26,194,336 for Airtel, 24,490,650 for Glo
and 18,119,397 for Etisalat.
In effect, between end of February and June end, Glo
added 2,836,996 new subscribers to its network, while
Etisalat recorded 1,270,888 new customers. On the other
hand, MTN lost 666,986 subscribers, while Airtel also lost
892,176 customers, the highest loss within the period.
Glo also retained its position as the network with the
second largest Internet subscription in the country with
14.3m active subscriptions. MTN is in the first place with
34m, while Airtel and Etislat have 12m and 6.8m active
Internet subscriptions respectively.
Industry sources believe that the massive network upgrade
recently embarked upon by Glo and its bouquet of new
service offerings may have given it the edge over other
operators.
The network expansion involved swapping of old base
stations with new ones and transformation of existing
infrastructure into a state-of-the-art network software
and hardware. It also involves achieving 90 per cent 3G
coverage, the first in the industry, making it possible for
Glo data subscribers across the country to experience
significant service enhancement.
Meanwhile, it was a major laurel haul for Globacom
Chairman, Dr. Mike Adenuga, and his companies, Glo
Mobile and Glo I, at the at the 10th edition of the annual
Nigerian Telecoms Awards held in Lagos on Saturday
night.
The Globacom chairman bagged the award of the
‘Telecoms Investor of the Decade’ while Glo Mobile and
Glo I emerged the ‘Best Telecoms Operator of the Year –
Data’, ‘Most Innovative Telecoms Operator of the Year’,
and ‘Best Submarine Company of the Year’, respectively.
The’ Telecoms Investor of the Decade’ award was the
highpoint of the ceremony, and was presented by the
Chairman, Board of Directors of the Nigerian Telecoms
Awards, Chief Alex Akinyele and the Vice Chairman and
former Governor of Ogun State, Otunba Gbenga Daniel.
The award was received on Adenuga’s behalf by the
Director of Mike Adenuga Group, Mr. Niyi Adewunmi.
According to the organisers, Adenuga was nominated on
account of his “immense contributions to the growth of
the telecommunications sector in the country” and was
adjudged to take the award by a panel of assessors and
judges.

The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus are here.
And they are big. “Bigger than
bigger” is the official tagline. Ever
since the first Galaxy Note started
the trend of big phones (phablets)
the market has expanded to
millions of devices.
Till now, the screen size was one
of the biggest factors stopping an
Android user from considering an
iPhone. Are the feature sets in 6
and 6 Plus finally enough to
convince an Android user to jump
ship? Let’s find out.
Pros
1. Larger 4.7 and 5.5 Inch Screen
This is the biggie. I know a lot of
people who liked the iPhone and
wanted to own one but didn’t
solely because of the small screen.
Large screens are addictive. Once
you try it you can’t go back. If
you’re a Note or Galaxy user
looking for a change, there has
never been a better time to make
the switch. The iPhone 6 has a 4.7
inch 1334×750 screen while the
larger 6 Plus gets a full 5.5 inch
1920×1080 HD resolution.
“But it’s still usable in one hand
and comfortable enough that I
never feel terribly awkward
using it. I have found myself
holding it slightly differently,
though: I tend to rest it on my
fingers rather than grip it in my
palm, the better to reach the
farthest corners of the screen.” –
David Pierce for The Verge
talking about iPhone 6.
Early reviewers say that the
iPhone 6, while a lot larger than
the 5S, is still manageable with one
hand. But although the
Reachability mode that brings
down the entire UI so you can
interact with the elements at the
top of the screen is helpful, the 6
Plus screen felt too big to some
reviewers to be practical. Unless,
of course, you’re already used to
phablets like the 5.7″ Note 3; in
that case, this shouldn’t be a
problem for you.
2. Awesome Camera And Slo-Mo
While the camera is only 8
megapixels, it’s in a class of its
own. This time Apple has
integrated “Focus Pixels”
technology, which makes focusing
incredibly fast. And the 6 Plus gets
Optical Image Stabilization that
rectifies the blur caused by shaky
hands.
The cherry on top is the slow
motion mode. Up from 120 frames
per second to 240 for iPhone 6.
I’ve watched some footage that
was taken in this mode and it is
surreal.
3. Apple Pay
I know it doesn’t sound like a
“killer feature”, but for US citizens,
it can be. Apple Pay makes
processing payments simple and
secure. Using the NFC and Touch
ID you’ll be able pay at select
stores and outlets (more than
200,000 and growing) with just a
tap of your phone.
Apple Pay uses a tokenized system
so the merchant has none of your
personal information like your
card number or Security. This can
drastically reduce credit card
fraud. And unlike Google Wallet,
your credit card credentials are
stored on your device and are not
uploaded to the cloud at all. The
only way to authenticate a
transaction is by scanning your
fingerprint using Touch ID. That
means even if you lose your phone
that’s filled with all your credit
card details, no one could steal
your information.
4. Widgets, Extensions And
Openness With iOS 8
This has been the biggest
argument between iOS and
Android. Closed vs open control
over your device. While Apple isn’t
completely taking the open source
route, it is opening up certain
aspects of the OS, and it’s doing so
securely. Apps will continue to run
in a sandbox mode but now they’ll
be able to communicate to one
another in the sandboxed
environment itself.
iOS 8 is also adding widgets to the
Notification Center. These are
interactive and have live updates,
just like Android widgets. Only
they’ll be accessible from
anywhere, not just the home
screen.
Extensions are going to bring apps
closer and make it easy to share
data from one app to another,
something Android has been good
at since day one.
5. Health And Fitness Tracking
While Android is catching up,
iPhone is still at the forefront of
fitness and health tracking. The
M8 motion co-processor on the
iPhone 6/6Plus is always running
in the background, keeping track
of how many steps you walked and
more.
The new M8 chip has a built-in
Barometer that will track
elevation and the steps you climb.
It can also distinguish between
walking, jogging, and cycling all on
its own.
6. Some Things Are Just Better
On iPhone
I use both Android and iOS devices
because my job requires me to. I
have an iPhone 5 and the Moto G. I
know it’s not fair to compare those
phones but the overall experience
on iPhone is simply better, more
polished.
iPhone does not have the same
problems as some Android devices,
even the flagship ones. Galaxy S5
has amazing hardware but the
software is just a mess. So much so
that it sometimes lags. There’s no
bloatware on the iPhone and the
new 64-bit A8 processor just flies.
Plus every compatible iPhone,
even the 3+ year old iPhone 4S
gets the update at the same time
as the newer phones. You can’t say
the same for Android.
But Android does hold a specific
advantage over Apple; although
the app gap between iOS and
Android is decreasing day by day,
it’s still there. There’s no
substitute for awesome RSS
readers like Reeder 2, Unread or
to-do apps like Clear on Android.
Cons
1. It’s Expensive (Or is it?)
I can hear the Nexus 5 and
OnePlus One owners go “no shit!”.
The beauty of Android is that you
can get a great Android
smartphone for about $350. It’s
not the same for iPhone. They
start at $650 unlocked or $199 on
contract.
Of course, top-end unlocked
Android smartphones like the
Galaxy S5, Note 4, HTC One (M8),
or Xperia Z3 all cost around the
same as the iPhone 6.
If you’re reading this, you’re
probably ready to spare that kind
of money. And now, thanks to the
bigger display, you get more bang
for your buck if you go with the
iPhone.
2. NFC Is Not Open
Android enthusiasts love their NFC
chips. Thanks to apps like Tasker,
Android users can create simple or
complex actions that happen when
you tap an NFC tag beside your
bed or the door. Sadly, none of
that will happen with the iPhone
6/6 Plus because the NFC access is
limited to Apple Pay and
developers can’t lay their hands on
it.
3. Android Is Pretty Awesome As
Well (And You Like It)
Recently, especially after the
KitKat update, Android has
become pretty awesome. The app
collection is robust, there’s
minimal lag, and with the
upcoming Android L and the new
Material Design, things will only
get better.
The iPhone 6/6 Plus, coupled with
iOS 8 presents a viable alternative,
one that has a lot of stuff an
Android user is used to. But if
you’re an Android enthusiast, you
like to tinker around, flash custom
ROMs, modify apps, and customize
interface, the reasons why you
wouldn’t opt for an iPhone in the
past still stand true.
Is The iPhone For You?
For a casual user who just wants a
phone to check email, peruse
social media, play games, consume
media, and do it all in a reliable,
easy to use and even pleasurable
manner, the iPhone 6 or 6 Plus is
the way to go.
The same goes for a power user
that is more interested in getting
things done using the device
instead of customizing the phone
till no end. If you’re considering
making the switch, there’s no
better time to make it happen.

McWhillion: You're kidding right, 'cos Facebook died about 3 years ago.

do I look like my name is kidding?

On-line social networking service, Facebook will start
charging its users $2.99 (almost N500) for their new
monthly plan according to reports.
Speaking on the monthly fee at a press conference,
Facebook founder and CEO, Mark Zuckerberg said:
Facebook Spokesman, Paul Horner, also explained the
reason for the new monthly fee in an interview with CNN


‘After thinking long and hard about this
decision, at the end of the day, we were
forced to add this monthly fee.’
‘If we don’t do something about our
rising costs now, Facebook could cease to
exist in the near future.’ “
‘Economic times are tight; the ads on
Facebook are not as profitable as we had
planned. Our costs are going up as
hundreds of thousands of individuals
continue to join the site every day,
There’s so many pictures of cats, and all
of those costs add up, we just can’t foot
the bill any longer.’
