Nokia is launching an Android-powered tablet, marking the Finnish company's return to consumer electronics.The suprise launch pits the firm against Microsoft, which completed its takeover of Nokia's previous mobile-devices business in April.The N1 tablet is due to go on sale in China towards the start of 2015, ahead of other countries.Nokia said it was not making the device itself, but had licensed its brand, design and softwareto a third-party.Taiwanese manufacture Foxconn is the licensee."This is a great product for Nokia fans and everyone who has not found the right Android tablet yet," said Sebastian Nystrom, head of products at Nokia Technologies, who announced the product at the Slush technology conference in Helsinki.One company watcher was startled by the move."I'm surprised how quickly Nokia has decided to do this. But equally if Nokia was going to do anything with its brand, it was going to have to do it quickly," said Ben Wood, chief of research at CCS Insight."The brand has been in a consistent state of freefall over the past three years, so if they aregoing to extract any value from it they needed to do it sooner than later."The N1 is a 7.9in (20.1cm) aluminium-framed tablet, whose design resembles the iPad Mini.Unlike Apple's device, however, it is powered by Google's Android 5.0 operating system, features an Intel Atom processor and has a Micro-USB slot. The planned retail price is $249 (£159).The N1 features a 64-bit Intel quad-core Atom processor and an aluminium shellIt runs Nokia's own Z Launcher user interface - known as a skin - on top of Android.Here are the complete specs of the device:*.7.9-inch, 2048x1536 (4:3) IPS LCD with Gorilla Glass 3 and fully laminated zero air gap display*.64-bit 2.3GHz Intel Atom Z3580 processor, PowerVR G6430 GPU with 2GB RAM*.32GB built-in memory (non-expandable)*.8 megapixel rear camera, 5 megapixel front camera*.Dual channel 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi with MIMO, Bluetooth 4.0*.Micro-USB 2.0 with a Type-C reversible connector*.Stereo speakers*.5300mAh battery*.Unibody aluminum design; available in Natural Aluminum or Lava Gray . http://m.gsmarena.com/nokia_launches_n1_android_tablet_running_lollipop-news-10236.php http://oshokay..in/2014/11/nokia-to-launch-android-tab.html |

doctor in rural Liberia inundated with Ebola patients says he's had good results with a treatment he tried out of sheer desperation: an HIV drug. CNN reports that Dr. Gobee Logan had given the drug, lamivudine, to 15 Ebola patients, and all but two survived. That's a 7% mortality rate. Across West Africa, the virus has killed 70% of its victims. Outside Logan's Ebola center in Tubmanburg, four of his recovering patients walk the grounds, always staying inside the fence that separates the Ebola patients from everyone else. "My stomach was hurting; I was feeling weak; I was vomiting," Elizabeth Kundu, 23, says of her bout with the virus. "They gave me medicine, and I'm feeling fine. We take it, and we can eat -- we're feeling fine in our bodies." Kundu and the other 12 patients who took the lamivudine and survived, received the drug in the first five days or so of their illness. The two patients who died received it between days five and eight. "I'm sure that when [patients] present early, this medicine can help," Logan said. "I've proven it right in my center." Logan is mindful that lamivudine can cause liver and other problems, but he says it's worth the risk since Ebola is so deadly. He also knows American researchers will say only a real study can prove effectiveness. That would involve taking a much larger patient population and giving half of them lamivudine and the other half a placebo. "Our people are dying and you're taking about studies?" he said. "It's a matter of doing all that I can do as a doctor to save some people's lives." Logan said he got the idea to try lamivudine when he read in scientific journals that HIV and Ebola replicate inside the body in much the same way. "Ebola is a brainchild of HIV," he said. "It's a destructive strain of HIV." At first he tried an HIV drug called acyclovir, but it didn't seem to be effective. Then he tried lamivudine on a healthcare worker who'd become ill, and within a day or two he showed signs of improvement and survived. Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases says that theoretically, Logan's approach has some merit. Lamivudine is a nucleocide analog, and other drugs in this class are being studied to treat Ebola. http://oshokay..in/2014/09/doctor-cures-ebola-successfully-with.html |

The Ivory Coast announced Monday that it has banned all flights from countries hit by Ebola as part of steps to prevent the deadly virus from reaching the west African nation.The government said in a statement that it has forbidden all “carriers from transporting passengers” from these countries.It has also decided “on the suspension until further notice” flights by its national airline, Air Cote d’Ivoire, to and from these locations.The government did not name the countries but nearly 1,000 people have died from Ebola in Liberia, Sierre Leone, Guinea andNigeria, which are all in West Africa.The government said it has also decided to increase preventive measures at Abidjan airport where “all passengers on arrival will have to have their temperatures taken with an infrared thermometer.”Ebola causes flu-like symptoms including fever. In the worst cases, it causes unstoppable bleeding.It spreads among humans via bodily fluids including sweat, so can be spread by simply touching an infected person. With no vaccine, patients believed to have caught the virus have to be isolated to stop further contagion.No case of Ebola has surfaced in the Ivory Coast which began implementing measures to prevent the spread of the disease in March.British Airways said August 5 that it has suspended flights to Liberia and Sierra Leone following concerns about the spread of Ebola.Dubai’s Emirates Airline said earlier this month it was suspending flights to Guinea.Pan-African airline Aruj and ASKY suspended all flights to and from the capitals of Liberia and Sierra Leone following the death of a Liberian passenger at the end of July in the Nigerian city of Lagos.Chad on Saturday suspended all flights fromNigeria.Officials said Sunday thatNigeriahad stopped the Gambian national carrier, Gambia Bird Airlines, from flying into the country, alleging “unsatisfactory” measures by the airline to contain the spread of Ebola. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/08/ivory-coast-bans-flights-ebola-affected-countries/ |
am getting the phone Saturday. kitkat or no kitkat |
mine hasn't really changed much.. I've always been this wash your hand often kinda person. how about you |
Yah I know, the question that comes to your mind is where is all that money going to end up. Well definitely I don't think it will be aimed at creating new jobs for the unemployed or constant electricity supply or teachers who the government still struggles to pay their salaries. No No we have senators that play scrabble and sleep during meetings and at the end of the month they get 24 million naira as their salary. Here's the detail from vanguardNigeria'scrude oil production is expected to rise by 40,000 barrels per day, as Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company Limited, SNEPCo, yesterday commenced production from the first well at the Bonga North West deep-water development offshore Nigeria.This translates to a crude earnings of N672 million accruable to the country ona daily basis.Shell, in a statement stated that the Bonga Floating Production, Storage and Offloading, FPSO, vessel has been upgraded to handle the additional oil flow from Bonga North West.According to the company, the investments made by it and its other project partners in the Bonga North West project include upgrades of local contractors' facilities and providing specialised training for Nigerians to work in the energy industry.Commenting on the development, Mr Andrew Brown, Upstream International Director, Shell says "it is also good news for Nigeria, as it is a new source of oil revenues and strengthens Nigeria's deep-water expertise, a key driver of economic development."This is an excellent addition to our deep-water portfolio – a key growth theme for shell's world-wide upstream business.The company also noted that four oil producing wells and two water injection wells in the Bonga North West development will be connected to the FPSO, from where oil is loaded onto tankers for shipping around the world.The Bonga project, which began producing oil and gas in 2005, was Nigeria's first deep-water development in water depths over 1 000 metres.Bonga North West represents a significant step forward for the project, as the company said oil from the sub-sea facilities is transported by a new undersea pipeline to the existing Bonga floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) export facility.SNEPCO said the Bonga North West project is part of its long-standing commitment to developing deep-water engineering skills in Nigeria.The Bonga project is operated by SNEPCo, which holds a 55 percent stake.The other project partners are Esso Exploration & Production Nigeria (Deepwater) Limited (20 percent), Total E&P Nigeria Limited (12,5 percent) and Nigerian Agip Exploration Limited (12,5 percent) under a Production Sharing Contract with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/08/nigeria-earn-n672m-daily-shells-new-oil-well/ http://oshokay..in/2014/08/nigeria-to-earn-672-million-naira-daily.html |

The Federal Government says it has reached out to the United States Centre for Disease Control to request for the unapproved Ebola drug Zmapp, for the treatment of affected persons in Nigeria but US President, Barack Obama said yesterday August 6th that it's too early to send the unapproved experimental drug, Zmapp serum to Africa where the outbreak of the Ebola virus has recorded more deaths and threatens human existence. Theserum has proven to be effective in treating Ebola cases as two American doctors who were infected with the virus in Liberia are currently being treated in the US and are said to have improved after the use of the drug. Continue...According to AFP, President Obama suggested that affected African countries should focus more on building strong public infrastructures."I think we have to let the scientist guide us. And I don’t think all the information is in on whether this drug is helpful".On whether he would help fast track the approval of the drug should medical experts conclude that the drug is effective, President Obama said;"I think it’s premature for me to say that because I don’t have enough information. I don’t have enough data right now to offer an opinion on that.”While stressing that the deadly virus is not airborne, Obama said"the countries affected are the first to admit that what’s happened here is the public health systems have been overwhelmed. They weren’t able to identify and then isolate cases quickly enough. As a consequence, it spread more rapidly than has been typical with the periodic Ebola outbreaks that occurred previously." According to him the US is currently working with their European partners as well as the World Health Organization (W.H.O) to provide resources to contain the virus.I don't know about you guys but to me unapproved drugs is better than nothing. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/08/early-send-experimental-ebola-drug-africa-obama/ http://oshokay..com/2014/08/too-early-to-send-ebola-unapproved.html |
As a result of the death of Liberian Ebola victim, Patrick Sawyer in a Lagos hospital, there has been several people being infected with the Ebola virus whom he came in contact with directly or indirectly . One of the Nigerian nurses who attended him died on Tuesday and others are still in isolation .Yesterday, the minister of Health said he (Mr Sawyer) was aware he had the virus before embarking on his journey to Nigeria and some have claimed it was 'an intentional act of biological warfare'. Somehow he just happened to wander into one of the most populated and congested state in Nigeria with the Ebola virus.. definitely intentional. A new and extensive report by Front Page Africa chronicles his last hours in Lagos. Read below"Barely 24 hours before his death, Patrick Sawyer had a rather strange - and in the words of medical and diplomatic sources here, “Indiscipline” encounter with nurses and health workers at First Consultants Hospital in Obalende, one of the most crowded parts of Lagos, a population of some 21 million inhabitants.Looking to get to the bottom of Sawyer’s strange ailment on the Asky Airline flight, which Sawyer transferred on in Togo, hospital officials say, he was tested for both malaria and HIV AIDS.However, when both tests came back negative, he was then asked whether he had made contact with any person with the Ebola Virus, to which Sawyer denied. Sawyer’s sister, Princess had died of the deadly virus on Monday, July 7, 2014 at the Catholic Hospital in Monrovia. On Friday, July 25, 2014, 18 days later, Sawyer died in Lagos."Upon being told he had Ebola, Mr. Sawyer went into a rage, denying and objecting to the opinion of the medical experts“He was so adamant and difficult that he took the tubes from his body and took off his pants and urinated on the health workers, forcing them to flee."The hospital would later report that it resisted immense pressure to let out Sawyer from its hospital against the insistence from some higher-ups andconference organizers that he had a key role to play at the ECOWAS convention in Calabar, the Cross River State capital.In fact, FrontPageAfrica has been informed that officials in Monrovia were innegotiations with ECOWAS to have Sawyer flown back to Liberia.A text message in possession of FrontPageAfrica from the ECOWAS Ambassador in Liberia, responding to a senior GoL official reads: Your Excellency, the disease control department of the Federal Ministry of Health just contacted me through the hospital now, insisting that Mr. Sawyer be evacuated for now. Pls advise urgently.”In the aftermath of Sawyer’s death, diplomatic, ECOWAS and medical authorities here are baffled over Sawyer’s deception, especially armed with new information that his sister, Princess had died of the deadly virus and his denial. Finance Ministry sources in Monrovia are in quiet murmur over what they feel was a letdown by Sawyer for not being forthcoming with his peers he worked with.The ministry has since been temporarily shut down and those who came in contact with Sawyer are on a 21-day forced incubation monitoring process."All senior officials coming in direct or indirect contact with Mr. Sawyer has been placed on the prescribed 21 days of observatory surveillance," the ministry said in a statement this week.FrontPageAfrica has now learnt that Sawyer exhibited similar indiscipline behavior during his sister’s stay at the Catholic Hospital in Monrovia where she was taken because he noticed she was bleeding profusely and was later found to be a victim of Ebola.Sawyer was seen with blood on his clothing after his sister’s death and had earlier demanded that she be placed in a private room.President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf cited indiscipline and disrespect as a key reason why Sawyer contracted the Ebola virus. She said his failure to heed medical advice put the lives of other residents across the nation’s border at risk. http://oshokay..in/2014/08/ebola-patrick-sawyer-man-with-ebola.html |

THE Ebola Virus is essentially transmitted from human-to-human through direct contact with infected patients, or through contact with body fluids of a victim. However, scientists are not ruling out the possibility of transmission by air through aerosolised particles.http://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/08/experts-say-transmission-ebola-virus-air-possible/ |
