Why is Ishilove continuously making front page?

The suicide bomber was obviously ready to die. Burning him alive won't hurt more than what he was prepared for.

Handing him over to the police will achieve little since he's only a lowly pawn in Boko haram's hierarchy.

Looks like a mentally disturbed person. For 60 good years, no sponge or soap has ever touched his body.

Discovered by whom?

Yeah. Number 4 is very good cos it'll make threads interesting.

Also, the replies to each comment should be directly below the comment in a descending order according to time.

It should go this way...

Ambulance heading to an accident scene. - First

Police Car heading to a crime scene. - Second

GEJ heading to the airport. - Third

School bus conveying children to school. - Fourth

Err.. the SAUCE has been added.

Researchers have developed a groundbreaking new lithium ion battery that charges super quickly and lasts 10 times longer than today’s batteries. It’ll be on the market within two years.

Sick of waiting an hour for your phone to charge before you leave the house? Researchers at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore have come up with the best solution yet - a lithium ion battery that charges to 70 percent in just two minutes.
Even better, it also lasts for 20 years, and will reportedly be available to the public within two years.

Rechargeable lithium ion batteries are already common in our mobile phones, tablets and laptops - but most only last around 500 recharge cycles, which is around two to three years of typical use. And at the moment batteries take around two hours to fully charge.

The new battery drastically improves this process, and will allow you to charge your phone while you look for your keys on the way out the door. It would also help make electric vehicles a more viable alternative to fossil-fuel-powered cars, by reducing battery replacement costs and allowing drivers to recharge their cars in minutes.

“Electric cars will be able to increase their range dramatically, with just five minutes of charging, which is on par with the time needed to pump petrol for current cars,” said Professor Chen Xiaodong who led the study, in a press release . “Equally important, we can now drastically cut down the toxic waste generated by disposed batteries, since our batteries last 10 times longer than the current generation of lithium-ion batteries.”

The breakthrough came after the scientists replaced the traditional graphite that makes up the anode (the negative pole of the battery) in lithium-ion batteries with a new gel material made from titanium dioxide nanotubes that they created themselves.

These nanotubes are a thousand times thinner than a human hair, and they speed up the rate at which electrons and ions can transfer in and out of the batteries, allowing for super-fast charging. They also allow more energy to be packed into the batteries. This means that the battery can now offer 10,000 charging cycles, instead of the usual 500. Even better, the new batteries will be relatively cheap, as titanium dioxide is inexpensive and already readily available in soil. The team has published details on how they formed the titanium dioxide gel in Advanced Materials, and have already had the technology licensed to eventually produce the devices. They expect they’ll be on the market within two years.

We literally can’t wait.

CNN) -- A health care worker at Texas Health Presbyterian
Hospital has tested positive for Ebola after a preliminary
test, the state's health agency said in a statement .
Confirmatory testing will be conducted by the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta.

The employee helped care for Thomas Eric Duncan, the first
person diagnosed with Ebola in the United States . Duncan
died on Wednesday.

"We knew a second case could be a reality, and
we've been preparing for this possibility," Dr.
David Lakey, commissioner of the Texas
Department of State Health Services, said in a
statement Sunday morning.
"We are broadening our team in Dallas and
working with extreme diligence to prevent
further spread."

If confirmed by the CDC, the health care
worker's case would mark the second
diagnosis of Ebola ever in the United States.
Globally, the disease has wrought catastrophic
consequences.

The World Health Organization estimates more
than 8,300 have contracted Ebola during the
current outbreak. Of those, more than 4,000
people have died.
Three countries -- Sierra Leone, Guinea and
Liberia -- have been hardest hit.

don't have a kid so let the sermon continue



but cleaning the head of the can might help

Of course, leptospirosis doesn't pose any major threat to any of us but that doesn't mean the message should be disregarded. Washing the top of the can or making use of a glass will help to prevent other possible infections too. Especially for kids.

The article stated that it's no big deal since the likelihood is very low cos the effects occur when you're asleep.

Nobody leaves their phone or monitor screen on while sleeping. They go on sleep mode after some time.

Scientists have made a huge breakthrough in the search for a cure for type 1 diabetes by generating insulin-producing stem cells.

In a study published in the journal Cell , a team of Harvard Researchers transformed stem cells - which have the potential to develop into a range of different cell types - into beta cells , which produce insulin to help regulate blood sugar. These cells were then inserted into diabetic mice, whose blood sugar was observed over a few months. Results showed that the manipulated cells functioned as normal beta cells and were not attacked by the immune system, which is what usually happens in diabetics. The cells had a noticeably fine-tuned response to sugar levels in the blood, and six months later, the mice’s blood sugar remained under control. This is a huge breakthrough that could help free diabetics from daily insulin injections.

“You never know for sure that something like this is going to work until you've tested it numerous ways," said Doug Melton, the lead researcher of the study in a press release. “We’ve given these cells three separate challenges with glucose in mice and they've responded appropriately; that was really exciting.”

Type 1 diabetes is a lifelong autoimmune disease that affects over 34 million people worldwide. The disease causes the body’s immune system to destroy the beta cells in the pancreas which produce insulin.

Patients with type 1 diabetes rely on daily insulin injections to keep their blood sugar under control. But the injection does not provide the fine tuning needed to control metabolism and, as a result, patients can experience nerve damage, blindness, and loss of limbs. Currently, the only known treatment for the disease is a beta cell transplant, which uses cells from someone who has died. The complicated nature of the procedure means that it is only available to a very small number of patients, who must remain on immunosuppressive drugs forever.

Melton has been determined to find a cure for diabetes ever since both of his children developed the disease at a very young age. His insulin-producing beta cells are currently being tested in other animal models, including non-human primates. The next step in the development of a cure will be to research how to protect the 150 million cells that will be transplanted into each patient from immune system attack. Melton is collaborating with Daniel Anderson, Goldblith professor of applied biology at MIT’s Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research, to develop a device which can be implanted in the patient to protect the cells.

Anderson said in the press release that the research being done by Melton is, "An incredibly important advance for diabetes. There is no question that [the] ability to generate glucose-responsive, human beta cells through controlled differentiation of stem cells will accelerate the development of new therapeutics. In particular, this advance opens to doors to an essentially limitless supply of tissue for diabetic patients awaiting cell therapy."

Am a core muslim!! But all in all, if am to b a christain, I ll only worship with the catholic, penticostant churches don't preach salvation, all there do is how to destroy the enemy/devils, @ least preach how to relate n abide by the words of God in the bible u preach! in the bible, it is clearly writn dt woman are not suppose 2 preach or even ask question in the church rather there should ask their husband wc will now refer it 2 d pastor, now we av women who re PASTORs.

Get out of this thread and return to your secluded section in Nairaland.

Why are Muslims allowed to comment in a Christian thread and even post their koran verses here? The topic specifically requests for what the Bible has to say about Mary, the mother of Jesus.

Anybody posting koran verses should be banned and the comment deleted.

This incident happened recently in Durban, South Africa. A woman went boating one Sunday taking with her some cans of coke which she put into the refrigerator of the boat. On Monday she was taken to the hospital and placed in the Intensive Care Unit. She died on Wednesday.

The autopsy concluded she died of Leptospirosis. This was traced to the can of coke she drank from, not using a glass. Tests showed that the can was infected by dried rat urine and hence the disease Leptospirosis.

Rat urine contains toxic and deadly substances. It is highly recommended to thoroughly wash the upper part of all soda cans before drinking out of them. The cans are typically stocked in warehouses and transported straight to the shops without being cleaned.

A study at University of Cape Town showed that the tops of all soda cans are more contaminated than public toilets (i..e.).. full of germs and bacteria. So wash them with water before putting them to the mouth to avoid any kind of fatal accident.

#1. The Rock.

Did you really expect anyone else? After all, it was one of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s popular catchphrases that led to the show’s name and “smackdown” becoming an official word in Webster’s Dictionary.
The Great One not only appeared on the program’s very first episode on Aug. 26, 1999, in Kansas City, Mo., but he made it clear in the opening segment that SmackDown was his show. Nearly 800 episodes later and no other Superstar is more synonymous with WWE’s blue brand than The People’s Champion.
From his WWE Championship Match against Triple H on the program’s premiere, to his return in 2013, The Rock has electrified Thursday and Friday nights while checking countless competitors into the SmackDown hotel. It’s only fitting that The Brahma Bull was also the blue brand’s first-ever Draft Pick in March 2002.
No one, and WWE.com means no one, can layeth the smackdown like The Rock. That’s why he is the greatest SmackDown Superstar ever. — SCOTT TAYLOR

#2. The Undertaker.

If WWE is The Undertaker’s home, then it could be argued that SmackDown became his personal house of horror. For it was from the big blue staging ground that The Demon of Death Valley carried all three of his World Heavyweight Championship reigns and launched epic rivalries against everyone from Randy Orton to Mark Henry to Batista to Edge to CM Punk — showdowns that, in many cases, evolved into crucial portions of The Phenom’s WrestleMania Streak. — MIKE BURDICK

#3. Batista.

Since making his WWE debut on SmackDown in 2002, Batista used the blue brand as a backdrop for some of his most notable rivalries, engaging in epic clashes against main event Superstars such as Rey Mysterio, The Undertaker, JBL and others. Save for his WWE hiatus, The Animal has been a consistent headlining force on Thursday and Friday nights, up until this past year when the former Evolution member abruptly quit.
The six-time World Champion had his fair share of significant SmackDown moments, including winning the WWE Tag Team Titles with Rey Mysterio in tribute to the late, great Eddie Guerrero. In fact, it was the then–World Heavyweight Champion who led Team SmackDown to brand supremacy over Team Raw at Survivor Series 2005. When it comes to the top SmackDown Superstars, Batista bleeds blue. — SCOTT TAYLOR

#4. Edge.

When Edge made history in 2006 as the first Superstar to cash in the Money in the Bank contract, his career rocketed ahead with no end in sight. The Rated-R Superstar raised eyebrows with his in-ring shenanigans with Lita on Raw, reached new heights of greatness with heart-pounding Ladder Match performances, and found a home on SmackDown.
From his epic battles with The Undertaker — as well as an emotionally charged on again, off-again relationship with Vickie Guerrero — Edge made SmackDown must-see TV for the WWE Universe for years. An injury forced him to suddenly retire in 2011, but Edge continues to live on in WWE history after taking his rightful place in the WWE Hall of Fame in 2012.
The Ultimate Opportunist also found himself in a recurring role in “Haven” on Syfy, a gig that proved Edge could successfully make the transition from one form of entertainment to another. Hopefully, there is more to come from one of WWE’s most decorated champions. — MITCH PASSERO

Lucario007:
Ah, thats true.....
but you realize that both SmackDown and RAW have been merged together now, with one person wielding two belts as the WWE World Champion?

Yup.

Lucario007:
please change the topic to in WWE history. and not smackdown, as some of these have been on raw as well.

This list is exclusively for SmackDown. I think it will be quite difficult and controversial to rate the entire WWE legends.

#5. Eddie Guerrero.

Being viewed by some as the “B-show” of WWE has one advantage: You can be as outrageous as you want to be. It was under this umbrella that the “lie, cheat and steal” mantra of Eddie Guerrero thrived on SmackDown. Whether Latino Heat was disarming the Divas or harming the competition, Guerrero always left the WWE Universe screaming “Viva la Raza!” His quest to push the show where it had never gone before created countless SmackDown moments from a Frog Splash off the top of a steel cage to steamy shower scenes to United States Championship Parking Lot Brawls. — MIKE BURDICK
