SportsChierika Ukogu Is Out Of Olympics by Profayo(op):
Contrary to previous reports, she did not qualify for the semifinals.She was fifth in her group and only the top three progressed to semi-finals.I salute her patriotism even in the face of discouragement.

Technology MarketYAHOO Has Been Sold;end Of An Era. by Profayo(op): 5:47pm On Jul 25, 2016
Verizon has agreed to pay $4.83 billion for Yahoo ( , Tech30 ), the companies said before markets opened Monday.
The sale completes Yahoo's evolution from influential search pioneer and web portal juggernaut to, in the end, a once-dominant brand that
lost its way.
Parties as diverse as Warren Buffett and The Daily Mail were interested in buying Yahoo. But after a sale process that dragged on for
months, Verizon ( , Tech30 ), long viewed as the frontrunner, is walking away with Yahoo's more than one billion monthly active users.
Current Yahoo shareholders will keep the company's lucrative investments in Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba and Yahoo Japan. They will
be spun into a separate, yet-to-be-named, publicly traded company. The deal also excludes some patents and Yahoo's cash.
The Verizon deal must be approved by regulators and is expected to be finalized in the first quarter of 2017.
The sale puts an end to Yahoo's 21-year history as an independent company. Yahoo will now be integrated with Verizon-owned AOL under
Marni Walden, an executive vice president at the telecom company.
It also ends a turnaround effort by Marissa Mayer, who joined Yahoo four years ago and promised to revitalize the company. Verizon and
Yahoo have not commented on who will lead Yahoo once the deal is complete.
It's unclear what Mayer will do after the deal closes. A spokesman for Yahoo said it's "too early to say" whether she will stay on as CEO,
accept a new role at Verizon, or step aside. Meanwhile, Mayer says she will stay on to see Yahoo through its transition.
"For me personally, I'm planning to stay," Mayer wrote Monday in a memo to employees posted on Tumblr. "I love Yahoo, and I believe in
all of you. It's important to me to see Yahoo into its next chapter."

On a conference call with analysts after the announcement, Mayer repeated that line before adding, "A lot of the integration discussions are
still ahead of us."
Mayer also tried to frame the deal in a positive light on the call. She touted Verizon's potential to "accelerate our revenue stream in digital
advertising" and repeatedly said she was "excited" for the future.
Tim Armstrong, the CEO of Verizon-owned AOL, said he has "enormous respect for what Yahoo has accomplished" and that integrating the
two former internet powerhouses will "create a new powerful competitive rival in mobile media, and an open, scaled alternative offering for
advertisers and publishers."
Mayer, like Armstrong, previously worked at Google ( ) before taking over the top spot at Yahoo in 2012. She invested heavily in
improving Yahoo's mobile products, expanding its audience through the acquisition of Tumblr and doubling down on premium media
content. She brought in TV journalist Katie Couric as Yahoo's "global anchor."
But Mayer struggled to slow Yahoo's overall ad sales decline.
After reporting earnings last week, Mayer made what may have been her final case to investors and the public that she worked to "create a
better Yahoo."
But the sale price suggests that Yahoo's glory days ended long ago. In 2008, for example, Microsoft ( , Tech30 ) was willing to pay
more than $45 billion for Yahoo, an offer that was rebuffed by cofounder Jerry Yang.
Yahoo was synonymous with the Internet itself in the late '90s. But for Verizon, the deal is about more than just nostalgia. The telecom
company has invested in digital content and advertising in recent years, buying AOL and the Huffington Post.
Investors were less than thrilled. Shares of Yahoo were down nearly 2% Monday morning.

HealthRe: OMG, How Unprofessional?! Molested By Male Doctor Who Fondled Her Boobs?!! by Profayo: 7:29am On Feb 07, 2016
The doctor was quite unprofessional in that he should have asked a female nurse to be there to chaperone him while examining you,nonetheless I must tackle a few issues in your writeup.
1.Before this doctor examined you, you already had a bias because he is young,that alone is enough to create an impression that he will assault you in your mind,and am telling you whatever your mind conceived is what you will experience.
2. Examining the tip is part of breast examination,so the doctor did not go out his way to examine your tip.
3.The doctor was smiling, seriouslyhuh should he be frowninghuh He was just trying to put on a smile to make you feel at ease but because you already had it in mind that he is young and he will molest you, you misinterpreted the smile.
4. Morals: please doctors, do not examine a female with a female chaperone and women if you are to be examined by a male doctor,ask for chaperone.No doctor is interested in your breasts.

Don't assume she is tripping for.I think what she is trying to do is to prove she values your friendship. She doesn't want her turning you down to mean the end of your frienship with her.She is just being matured.

HealthAmazing Things Doctors In Nigeria Do Often. by Profayo(op):
Often times,Nigerian doctors are being made mentioned of in light of bad things or mistakes they make,but from my experience as a medical student,Nigerian doctors are very dedicated to their patients and often go beyond their job description to make sure their patients are cured. Here are some of the things I've witnessed:

1.Donating blood to patients: In Nigeria,scarcity of unpaid blood donors is a major concern.At a particular time we had a patient that needed quite a lof blood,the consultant in charge had to donate his own blood for this patient and mobilized other doctors and medical student to donate just to save the life of the patient.

2. Paying the bills of patients: Most patients that come to government hospitals are usually of lower socioeconomic status,the middle income go to private hospitals, the rich travels out. Often times,patients in Nigeria are unable to pay their bills.Many times I've witnessed doctors paying the bills for a patient to have a test done,paying part or even all the hospital bills of patient at times.

3. Going home to find out why a patient missed clinic: So many times,doctors in Nigeria will go to patient houses just to find out why the patient missed clinic or stops coming for treatment,infact appealing and begging them not to miss clinics again.


That's just they few I could write about now,feel free to add yours.Please learn to appreciate doctors and say thank you the next time you see one.

Dedicated to the new part 6 students of OAU.Wishing the part 4 and 6 students all the best in their exams.
