Fashion/Clothing Market / Laundry Love: Here Are 10 Ways To Keep Your Clothes From Fading Quickly by phveektor(m): 11:33am On Sep 24, 2016
Good hygiene isn't only good for the body, taking proper care of your clothes can also make them last longer and even save you from frequent spending on cloths. 

You can save your favorite garments by following these simple laundry tips.

For the love of all that is washable, look at the tag. Those washing instructions on your shirt's tag isn't just to make you itchy.

They're there to let you know how to wash the garment so that it will have a long and colorful life. Read the instructions and follow them.

If you absolutely need to wash all of your garments together because you only have enough quarters for one load, then wash in cold water. Warm water breaks down fibers, which can cause fading and cold water prevents colors from bleeding. For the best results, choose a laundry soap that is made to work well with cold water washes.

Separate lights from darks. Dark items, no matter what you do, tend to bleed color a little when you wash them. This bleed can turn a bright orange pair of leggings into a rusty, faded color, for instance. So, always wash darks with darks, lights with lights and wash whites separately.

Use the right soil settings on your washer. If your clothes aren't very dirty, don't click on the heavy wash option just to make sure they get extra clean. All you're doing is putting extra wear and tear on your garment, which will make it fade much faster.

Skip the dryer as much as possible. The tumbling of the dryer makes the surface of garment fibers rough, which in turn makes the colors appear faded, even if they aren't.
Skip washing all-together.

The more you wash an item, the more faded it becomes. If you've only worn a garment for a few hours, don't toss it in the washer. Hang it up and let it air out. Or never wash them. Levi Strauss CEO Chip Bergh says to never machine wash jeans and just spot clean them with a sponge.
Turn your garments inside out.

Fashion/Clothing Market / The Story Behind The Small Buttons Around The Edge Of Jean's Pockets by phveektor(m): 6:07pm On Sep 18, 2016
Small round buttons so common

They're everywhere. Blue skies, blue oceans, blue jeans. But how much do you really know about them?

In fact, on average, most people own seven pairs of jeans. Seven!

On those many, many pairs of jeans, there are little buttons on the pockets.

What are those all about?

As it happens, there's a lot of history in those little buttons.

A blue jean empire, and an American icon, were built around them starting way back in 1872...

Rugged west patent

Like so many American originals, the rugged West forged those game-changing rivets.

A tailor named Jacob Davis found himself frequently repairing the clothing of workmen in San Francisco.

They would come to him with ripped, torn pockets hanging open. Finally, he came up with a solution to keep the pockets from ripping apart so often: copper rivets.

Jacob knew he had a winning idea on his hands but, being a simple tailor, he couldn't afford to patent his idea.

So he approached his fabric supplier, Levi Strauss, who helped him pay for the patent and to set up his new business producing work pants with riveted pockets.

The sturdiness of the riveted pockets became a huge selling point for working men in San Francisco.

It wasn't long before the rest of the country caught on, and history was made.

If you want to be sure about this, buy a sturdless pair of jeans and wear it to work regularly and notice the part where the tearing starts from!

Web Market / Blogging Tips: Beauty Of URL Shortening by phveektor(m): 11:33am On Aug 02, 2016
Intro
As a blogger or Web content creator, sometimes your post titles are very long thereby creating a long URL.

Adding such URLs on some social media platforms such as Twitter becomes a problem (due to the 140 character content length).‎

URL Shortening

URL shortening is a technique on the Internet in which a URL may be made substantially shorter in length and still direct to the required page.

This is achieved by using a redirect on a domain name that is short, which links to the web page that has a long URL.

Benefits of using a URL/Link shortener
Link portabilty: Copying a long URL can be tricky sometimes --especially when the link is so long that dots (...) are automatically added. Copying such link from a site to another may be incompletely done thereby generating a "404 not found" error. A shortened link such as "ow.ly/2frEs" is preferable in suc situation.
Security: Due to the privacy surveillance by the government on all internet traffics, you definitely wouldn't want to leave your fingerprints on the Web while surfing and most URL shortening services provide such functionality.
Monetization: There is no questioning how online adverts has made some people rich and you too can tap from such opportunity --even without owning a blog-- and make some cool money. Most link shortening services support such feat
Web traffic: This was meant to be part of the first feature but I had to split it for this particular reason; Shortening URLs beautify such URL and since most URL shortening services are popular and look "catchy" to the eye, a visitor will love to click on it more than on the full, very long URL.
In conclusion, if you've found this article interesting go ahead and start shortening links and make some money while driving good traffic to your website/blog.

Examples or URL/ link shortening services available include: , ow.ly, , , etc.

Phones / Re: All You Need To Know About The Blackberry DTEK50; The World's Most Secure Androi by phveektor(m): 1:42am On Jul 27, 2016
Perfectdanny:
@op some nairalanders can actually hack that phone.
not sure it can be done for now as the security features in the phone are those of proposed Android nougat and it's not out yet. And also if you know BlackBerry security very well, you'll understand the company employs one of the best technique (next to Apple) and so i'll disagree with your point.
Phones / All You Need To Know About The Blackberry DTEK50; The World's Most Secure Androi by phveektor(m): 12:55am On Jul 27, 2016
BlackBerry today officially announced it's second Android smartphone which is the new DTEK50.

News
In the press release by the company, the phone is said to be the slimmest and the most secure smartphone presently available (being a proud owner of a BlackBerry smartphone, I wouldn't doubt the company's pride in security), but then I will like to explain the specs of the phone with my little knowledge in mobiles.

Case: DTEK50 is said to be a 7.4 mm thick device with a 5.2 inch scratch resistant display. Unlike the Priv, the DTEK50 is an all touchscreen device which means there is no physical keyboard present

Operating system: The phone ships with the already stable Android 6.0 Marshmallow--which already contains verify boot that monitors device OS state during boot up for security vulnerabilities.

Camera: The rear camera is a 13MP camera while the front camera is 8MP (this is definitely one of the reasons why the device is said to be cost-effective.

The 8MP front camera sports a fixed-focus lens with an 84-degree field of view, automatic image and video stabilization, a specialized selfie flash, and a wide-angle/panoramic selfie mode. Rated at f-2.2, this camera can capture images at a pixel size of 1.125 um. It’s also capable of recording HD video at a resolution of up to 1080p at 30 frames per second.

The 13MP rear camera, meanwhile, features a 6-element, auto-focus f2.0 lens with 4x digital zoom. It is BlackBerry’s fastest-performing camera to date. In addition to PDAF and its dual toned LED flash, it makes use of automatic face detection, can toggle between continuous focus and touch-to-focus, and offers a range of live filters that can be applied to your photos. Like the selfie cam, it can also record 30 frames-per-second HD video at up to 1080p.

Storage: The phone's internal storage is 16GB with can be expanded up to 2TB.

Computers / Is Twitter Using Up More Device Resources? by phveektor(m): 11:24am On Jul 11, 2016
There is this thing about Twitter I have been observing for about two weeks.

The event
Each time I open either the app on my phone (Blacberry Q10) or on the laptop (Firefox on Ubuntu), after about 20 minutes, my phone will begin to freeze kind of, and the phone will become very sluggish in executing functions.

Also, on the PC, once the Twitter website is left opened for a while, the system fan (my PC is running on Intel Calpella platform) will increase it's speed and my quiet PC will start making noise.

I am of the opinion that the event is due to the fact that Twitter constantly updates it's news feed but then, Facebook and some other social platforms do same without baking someone's phone or frying somebody's PC.

Also, if Mozilla could behave in such a manner, Chrome wouldn't be an alternative as the resource dependency is greater.

Possible solution
I haven't tried it out yet but, i'll suggest opera browser as an alternative on PC and mobile users may try it out on their mobile browsers (update is on-demand basis, so it should help).

If you're experiencing such and have found a way around it, kindly post your recommended solution in the comments section.

Phones / Get Smart With Your Smartphone: Follow These Tips by phveektor(m): 3:39am On Jul 06, 2016
You’ve almost certainly heard the statement that our phones are making us dumber. This claim has been (and continues to be) researched by reputable institutions around the globe since smartphones became popular, and so far, well, the results are mixed. While our phone habits seem to have impacted our attention span and memories, there’s also evidence that we benefit from having easy access to more information than ever before.

Regardless of what the research says, smartphones are deeply integrated into our lives today, and that probably won’t change soon. So rather than be crushed that these technological wonders might be hurting us, let’s spin it around – if you use your phone in the best ways for you, it can be helpful, useful, and might even make you a bit smarter. Keep reading to get a few ideas about how you can use your phone to boost your brainpower.
Learn New Things

We have unprecedented access to all sorts of information about an endless number of topics. On top of that, online learning is having its moment in the spotlight and you can easily take courses on subjects you’ve always wanted to learn more about, and for very little money. Want to make the most of your phone? Get started learning!
Put Your Energy to Better Use

One of the great things about having a smartphone is having the ability to create and store notes, manage your calendar, make plans, and do all those things that help you be more efficient. Take advantage of those features to redirect your energy to the things that matter most to you.

Even doing things like using the timer on your phone’s clock widget to set work cycles for yourself can streamline your day and help you focus. And creating to-do and other tracking lists can help free up space in your mind so you can fully focus on whatever is in front of you.
Customize! Customize!! Customize!!!

Notifications. You probably know what I’m going to say next. While the dopamine rush we get from seeing a notification pop up from Facebook or Instagram is fun, constantly receiving notifications about items that can wait (they really can, promise) is far more distracting than you’d think.
When you download new apps, take the time to check Notification settings immediately after downloading, and adjust them appropriately.

For many of us, receiving text and email notifications is really all we need. Put the effort into making sure any interruptions you receive are truly worth the distraction.
Get Some Sleep

A large portion of us keep our smartphones nearby at all times, including when we sleep. And yes, sometimes mindlessly scrolling through social networks can be relaxing. But it’s well-known that looking at device screens (including computers and tablets) too soon before bed can impact our sleep patterns. To add to that, many of us pick up our phones if we wake up in the middle of the night, to.

So for one week, try to put your phone down at least a half-hour before you go to bed and leave it outside your bedroom. Pay attention to how you’re feeling as the week passes and, when it’s over, assess whether or not your sleep has improved as a result of this change. It can help you to mentally adjust by setting No Device hours for yourself.

And consider reducing the brightness of your device to reduce the possibility of having a glare disorder.
Put Your Phone Away

It is obvious we love our phones, but there is a time and place for them. Some research says that just being able to see your phone, whether it’s blinking notifications at you or not, is a distraction.

When it’s time to really get to work, or spend time with a loved one, or sink into a good book, put your phone away.

Tuck it into a drawer or put it in your purse or briefcase and leave it there. It might be difficult to do at first, and probably just as distracting as having it out in the open, but you will get used to it and feel more present in whatever you’re doing.
Conclusion

All these may not be easy, but the truth is that these devices that play such a big role in our lives today can make us smarter if we use them smartly.

Computers / How To Unhide Files Hidden By Virus On Your PC by phveektor(m): 6:46pm On Jun 27, 2016
Copying a file to a removable media is almost old fashion, but there are people who still use such technique.

Romance / Getting The Right Attention Using Body Language by phveektor(m): 12:11am On Jun 26, 2016
There’s no question that body language is important. But using it openly and without direction could send the right signal to the wrong person.

Sending a signal with precision is really important and these following steps will help you get started.

The flooding smile

Don’t flash an immediate smile when you greet someone,

If you do, it appears as if anyone in your line of sight would receive that same smile.

Instead, pause and look at the other person’s face for a second, and then let a “big, warm, responsive smile flood over your face and overflow into your eyes.”

Even though the delay is less than a second, it will convince people your smile is sincere and personalized for them. A slower smile can add more richness and depth to how people perceive you.

Sticky eyes

Pretend your eyes are glued to your conversation partner’s with sticky warm taffy.

Even after they’ve finished speaking, don’t break eye contact. “When you must look away, do it ever so slowly, reluctantly, stretching the gooey taffy until the tiny string finally breaks.”

You can also try counting your conversation partner’s blinks. In a case study, subjects reported significantly higher feelings of respect and fondness for their colleagues who used this technique.

Expoxy eyes

In a group of people, you should occasionally look at the person you are interested in, no matter who else is talking.

If your attention is drawn to that person even when they are simply listening, you show that you are extremely interested in his or her reactions.

Note: Using full Epoxy Eyes can be a bit overwhelming to the subject and could leave them feeling uncomfortable. You should primarily watch the speaker, but allow your glance to bounce to your target when the speaker finishes interesting points.


The big baby pivot

People are very conscious of how you react to them. When you meet someone new, turn your body fully toward them and give them the same, undivided attention you would give a baby.

Pivoting 100% toward the new person shouts, ‘I think you are very, very special.'

Computers / Knowing Your Microsoft Office Version For Easy Activation by phveektor(m): 3:58am On Jun 24, 2016
When investigating an issue with your Microsoft Office applications (particularly, activation issues), you may need to determine whether you have the Windows Installer (MSI) based version of Office or the Click-to-Run (C2R) version of Office.
Different installation methods.

The MSI based version of Office uses Windows Installer technology, which is a traditional method of installing and updating Office.

Installing Office using MSI requires you to wait until the whole Office product is installed before you can open and start to use the product.

The C2R based version of Office uses Click-to-Run, which is a Microsoft streaming and virtualization technology that allows you to open and start to use the product before the whole product is installed.

Click-to-Run is the technology used to install Office 365 subscription products, while the MSI is used mainly to install the volume license editions of Office.

Two versions, different activation mechanism

From my previous experiments, MSI installed office can be installed using a license key offline.

The click to run version, because it involves Microsoft's streaming and virtualization technology, requires online activation with a volume license key read more>>>>http://draynehub.com/knowing-your-microsoft-office-version-for-easy-activation/
Foreign Affairs / Following Western Sanction, Vladimir Putin Seeks China's Help In Failing Economy by phveektor(m): 6:29am On Jun 23, 2016
Prime Minister, Vladimir Putin, is embarking on an Asia tour to beef up his country's international profile, as the economy reels from a deep recession amid Western sanctions and a slump in oil prices.
Putin is due to arrive in China this Saturday for an official state visit and a number of business deals as well as cooperation in security and geopolitical arenas are expected to dominate the agenda.

The trip comes on the heels of the European Union's agreement this week to extend energy, financial and defense sanctions on Moscow for another six months in retaliation against the latter's annexation of Crimea in 2014. Washington also maintained its current sanctions program in May.

More than two years of sanctions, combined with sliding crude prices and a crumbling currency have taken a toll on the nation; gross domestic product shrank 3.7 percent in 2015 and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) anticipates a 1.8 percent decline this year.

What Russia wants from China

Increased investment from China will likely be Putin's primary focus as he looks to mitigate Russia's current economic pain.

"Russia is desperate for new partners and markets for its military industry--which China can foster," said Goodrich. At the St. Petersburg forum, Russia signed a string of deals to develop rocket engines, airplane engines and helicopters for China while talks also advanced on potential Chinese participation in a high-speed rail project between Moscow and Kazan.

The visit could also produce insight on the 19.5 percent stake in state-owned oil giant Rosneft, dubbed the crown jewels of Russia Inc, that Moscow is looking to sell. "We need the money," Putin admitted this week after data showed May's federal budget deficit stood at 5.5 percent of gross domestic product, wider than the government's 3 percent target.

What China stands to gain

While Russia's focus remains on trade and military, Xi is likely to concentrate more on geopolitical matters.

"In economic terms, other than energy, Russia is unable to offer much of anything to China," said McNamee. Indeed, steady energy relations will be crucial for Xi after Russia surpassed Saudi Arabia to become China's largest oil supplier in March.

"Of far more importance is the political support Russia offers, regarding foreign policy matters at the United Nations, Group of 20 and other venues ... China, naturally, is happy to have a useful ally as it seeks to reform the existing U.S.-led order to attain its geopolitical goals," McNamee continued.

If only he did not let his pride and ignorance take the better of him during the war against Ukraine in 2014! He wouldn't have had to go through this

Sports / Today In Football History: It's Been 96 Years After The "Offside Rule" Was First by phveektor(m): 12:27pm On Jun 13, 2016
From now on a player would be in an offside position if there were only two opponents between him and the goal, instead of three, as stated before.

It was sixty two years after the first football rules were set down (1863) and 21 years after the founding of FIFA (1904) that the International Football Association Board (IFAB) took a decision at its meeting on 13 June 1925 in Paris, following a proposal from the Scottish FA that had a major impact on the game and which changed things more than any other rule change before or since. Yet only a single word was altered and that was in the phrasing of the offside rule.

Under the old rule it had been pretty simple to catch an opponent offside and very difficult to outplay a defence, for example with a long through pass. Teams were practically forced to play sideways and try to penetrate a defence by dribbling through. The Board hoped that the alteration would take the advantage away from solidly defensive formations, and lead to more goals being scored. But the rule-makers proved to be rather naïve and underestimated the consequences. The change had the effect of forcing teams to strengthen their defences. Forwards suddenly had more room and new opportunities opened up before them.

The answer was a new playing system, but it took a few years to catch on. One of the most famous coaches of the era, Herbert Chapman, was the one who came up with the magic answer. With his plan, he and Arsenal in London achieved a series of successes in the late 20s and 30s which made the club world famous. His basic principle was: safety first.

EA Sports on Sunday made available for pre-order the latest FIFA 17 games for both XboxONE and PS4 platforms with some new features added as well as lots of improvements in the past game features.

The most important of the new feature added is the Active Intelligence System (AIS), which is not like the Adaptive AI in PES 2017, rather, it is a speed feature which enable every player to analyze the proximity of their opponents and the space around them to better identify opportunities in attack as well as make players smarter and increase activity off the ball to give the user new and creative ways to open up the opposition.

Orchestrated runs with multiple players, fake runs, stunt runs, and calling a player to show support are just a few ways you take control in the build up.

Religion / Spirituality Or Politics: Catholic Church Threatens To Pull Out Of CAN by phveektor(m): 7:32pm On Jun 12, 2016
In the spirit of oneness as preached by Apostle Paul in the book of Ephesians 4:4-6, the Christian Associo=ation of Nigeria, CAN, was established with a president being elected through normal electioneering process, but the election for the new presidency of the body has assumed a new twist as the outgoing President, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor is said to have summoned a meeting of the President-in-Council, PIC, for tomorrow amidst reports that the Catholic Secretariat of Nigeria, CSN, has threatened to pull out of CAN.

Feelers indicated that Dr. Jeremiah Gado, the candidate of TEKAN/ECWA bloc and alleged government candidate for the CAN presidency, has approached an Abuja High Court for unlawful denial as a candidate in the election. It was learnt that the TEKAN/ECWA candidate was actually looking for an interim injunction to stop the election but the court refused to grant the request. The court instead asked that the parties be put on notice and served to enable them appear before it on Tuesday. A reliable source close to the umbrella body of Christians confirmed the development, saying Gado had approached the court seeking to address his undue denial as a candidate for the presidential election and some other issues
According to the schedule of events, the election of a new President to succeed Oritsejafor is billed for Tuesday by the 309 members of the CAN, NEC. The Electoral College has screened the only two candidates —Rev. Samson Olasupo Ayokunle of the Baptist Convention, who polled eight votes, and Prof. Joseph Otubu of the Organization of African Instituted Churches (OAIC), who scored two votes. According to the Constitution of CAN, the Electoral College, headed by erstwhile Chaplain to two Nigerian presidents and Head, Aso Rock Villa Chapel, Rev. William Okoye, was expected to screen the nominated candidates and recommend two of them for the National Executive Council for election.

The Catholic Secretariat of Nigeria, CSN and the Christian Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria/Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, CPFN/PFN, which nominated the outgoing president, did not present candidates for the election. Following the unresolved dispute in the TEKAN/ECWA bloc the number of candidates for the CAN president was reduced to just two which, some now reason, should have made the Electoral College to recommend the two to NEC for the election.


Meanwhile there were indications last night that the Catholic Secretariat of Nigeria, CSN, has threatened to severe relationship with CAN, unless the impasse is resolved and adequate opportunity is given to every candidate who had indicated interest in the presidential contest. Details were sketchy but the CSN was said to have threatened that they would pull out of CAN if the election was not cancelled. Our source, who said it was still top secret as at yesterday evening, claimed that the Catholic Secretariat, making up one bloc of CAN, had sent in a letter demanding that the election was cancelled…”because indirectly they are looking for an ECWA man to lead CAN.”

Health / Get Rid Of That Odour Before It Destroys You by phveektor(m): 5:41am On Jun 09, 2016
So i was talking with a friend the other day about body odour and how terrible it's effects are on someone who has it, how repulsive such a person is among peers and i want to use this post to reach out to anyone who has it and also help such a person get over it.

Body odor (or B.O., bromhidrosis, osmidrosis or ozochrotia) is a perceived unpleasant smell our bodies can give off when bacteria that live on the skin break down sweat into acids - some say it is the smell of bacteria growing on the body, but it really is the result of bacteria breaking down protein into certain acids.

While sweat itself is virtually odorless, bacteria use it as a breeding ground and multiply rapidly. What you smell is the products related to bacteria breakdown of keratin protein on the surface of your skin. Sounds disgusting, doesn’t it? Chalk it up to an unpleasant fact of life!

While body odor is usually associated with the armpits, bacteria can also produce odor in the groin, anus area, upper thighs, and feet, among other places.

In the vast majority of cases of body odor it is not necessary to see your doctor. The individual himself/herself may be aware of it, or a good friend or a member of the household may tell them about their body odor. There are some self-care techniques that will usually successfully treat the problem.

dadebayo1:
If you withdraw or forfeit then you have actually thrown thousands out of jobs.. What gives FG the right to impose on the private sector? This minister self... Apart from the cbn jobs they created for their own children how many jobs have they created for the teaming unemployed youths?.. The financial sector is in a mess thanks to the voodoo economic policy... FG has indirectly made life difficult for businesses.. God save us all..
Amen o, God save us, The CBN thing is not the only one, what about NNPC too. Nepotism isn't a secret in this country
Politics / Nigerian Government Warns Companies: Stop Mass Lay-offs Or Forfeit Your License by phveektor(m): 6:28pm On Jun 07, 2016
The Federal Government of NIgeria, speaking to journalists on Tuesday expressed shock that employers in the financial sector, especially banks were breaching its directives to stop further retrenchment, threatening to withdraw the operating license of any bank or telecommunication company that breached its directive to stop mass sack of workers.
 
The country's Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige, while speaking to Nigerian journalists at the ongoing 105th session of the International Labour Congress, ILC, in Geneva, Switzerland,  warned that the government would sanction erring companies because government had a duty to protect jobs in this harsh economy.
 
The Minister was responding to questions on alleged breach of his earlier directive to banks and other financial institutions to stop further retrenchment of workers pending the stakeholders meeting scheduled for next month.
 
The minister, who spoke after his speech to the ILO National Assembly, said:
“We will go a step further if they continue. We know what to do. After all, the banks have the licenses giving by the government. We know what to do. They need to comply. They need to come to the negotiation table. We did (halted the spate of sack to hold a stakeholders meeting) that in the oil industry and we succeeded. Even if you are going to lay off, there is a way to declare redundancy, there is a process. Section 20 of the Labour Act says it. You must call the unions and discuss with them. You don’t just treat them as slaves in their own country and you want us to keep quiet. “We want them to maintain the statusquo. As far as I am the minister of labour, I will protect the interest of workers; same to the telecommunication companies, they are also talking about compiling lists without discussing with anybody.”

 The mass , some people say, can be attributed to the present Foreign Exchange policy difficulties been faced by such companies and this has even caused some foreign companies to withdraw their services.
 
So i'll implore the government to stop threatening the companies but rather, they should have a dialogue together and look for a way out

Technology Market / A.I Will Soon Use Your Photos To Create An Amazing Story by phveektor(m): 10:09am On Jun 06, 2016
Microsoft’s Research division has developed a new artificial intelligence system that can automatically generate stories using your photos, trying not only to explain what exactly is happening in the pictures but also to detail the context and people’s feelings.

The process of developing storytelling capabilities for photos is based on AI systems that can identify objects after learning by example, as LiveScienceexplains. The researchers first configured the systems to analyze a series of similar images and then look online to identify more objects that fall in the same category.

Furthermore, the Microsoft Research team turned to the Amazon Mechanical Turk, a service where people describe scenes of a batch of photos, thus having the AI systems learn them and then generate new ones by matching different pictures with different descriptions.

Take a situation like this for instance:

"This is a picture of a family; this is a picture of a cake; this is a picture of a dog; this is a picture of a beach”

The A.I will make it into a more story-like description like this:

“The family got together for a cookout; they had a lot of delicious food; the dog was happy to be there; they had a great time on the beach; they even had a swim in the water.”

For the moment, however, these are just the first stages of the new tech, so it takes a little bit longer until it improves, as researchers have already found issues that they need to deal with before it can go mainstream.

Health / There Is More To Zika Virus Than Microcephaly- WHO Warns Affected Nations by phveektor(m): 11:49pm On Jun 03, 2016
World Health Organization officials on Friday cautioned that "many thousands" of infants infected with Zika virus could suffer neurological abnormalities and said nations dealing with an outbreak need to watch for problems beyond the widely reported cases of microcephaly.

These include spasticity, seizures, irritability, feeding difficulties, eyesight problems and evidence of severe brain abnormalities.

Health officials had previously concluded that Zika infection in pregnant women was a cause of microcephaly in babies, a rare birth defect characterized by unusually small heads and potentially severe developmental problems. They now believe the range of potential neurological problems in infants could be much wider.

In an editorial published in a WHO bulletin, experts said 37 countries and territories in the Americas are now dealing with Zika, which is mainly spread by ...http://www.draynehub.com/en/zika-virus-micro…affected-nations/

Phones / How To Gain Thousands Of Instagram Followers In A Day by phveektor(m): 8:20am On Jun 03, 2016
Are you an Instagram freak or you're new to Instagram and you want to gain so many followers such that when people check your profile, they'll think you're a celebrity!

This same trick also apply to getting as much as a thousand likes for your posts (pictures and videos).

I call the trick "the power of hashtag".

Using a hashtag on its own is social media's way of popularizing a post, but this trick will expose you to social media fame within minutes.

Some people will be like "why do I need a thousand followers on Instagram or what will a thousand likes do for me?", well, to those who loves the "celebrity" feel, apply this trick and watch it perform it's magic on your profile
