Sports / Ronaldo Is Out Of This World: Astronomers Name Galaxy 'CR7' by raphok1(m): 6:15pm On Jun 18, 2015 |
The Real Madrid superstar has lent his nickname to a new discovery in the skies, believed to be the brightest object found in the early universe Real Madrid 's 'galactico' era may have ended but their Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo continues to prove he is out of this world after a galaxy was named 'CR7'. The nickname is synonymous with the former Manchester United man, comprising his initials and the squad number he used at both Old Trafford and the Santiago Bernabeu. However, it now has astronomical connotations after the European Southern Observatory (ESO) named a new galaxy in the 30-year-old's honour, describing it as the brightest to be found in the early universe. "Astronomers using ESO's Very Large Telescope have discovered by far the brightest galaxy yet found in the early Universe and found strong evidence that examples of the first generation of stars lurk within it," the group explained. "These massive, brilliant, and previously purely theoretical objects were the creators of the first heavy elements in history - the elements necessary to forge the stars around us today, the planets that orbit them, and life as we know it. "The newly found galaxy, labelled CR7, is three times brighter than the brightest distant galaxy known up to now." The CR7 epithet, in astronomical terms, stands for Cosmic Redshift 7 - a method of measuring a celestial body's place along the timescale of the universe. The discovery came after a new expansive study of the skies - aimed at discovering ancient stars known as Population III stars, which were formed very early after the Big Bang - and it is hoped CR7 will help scientists understand how early elements came into being. "Those stars were the ones that formed the first heavy atoms that ultimately allowed us to be here. It doesn’t really get any more exciting than this," said team leader David Sobral. http://www.goal.com/en-ng/news/4099/spain/2015/06/18/12852922/ronaldo-is-out-of-this-world-astronomers-name-galaxy-cr7?ICID=HP_BN_11

Politics / Thousands To March In Johannesburg Against Xenophobia by raphok1(m): 2:57pm On Apr 23, 2015 |
People have begun gathering at the Peter Roos Park in Park Town, Johannesburg, in preparation for a march to the Mary Fitzgerald Square, against the scourge of xenophobia which has plagued the country. More than 30 000 people are expected to be part of the march. The xenophobic attacks began in townships around Durban about three weeks ago and spread to Gauteng. At least seven people have been killed and thousands displaced. Bus loads of people from all across the province are gathering in their numbers, as they prepare to march through the streets of Johannesburg in a spirit of unity and to show solidarity with foreign nationals. Gauteng Premier David Makhura along with members of the provincial legislature are expected to lead the march The march has been organised by representatives from social justice networks, trade unions and non governmental organisations. Gauteng Premier David Makhura along with members of the provincial legislature are expected to lead the march. Crowds of people who have gathered are all in a jovial mood singing and dancing across the park in anticipation of the commencement of the march. A large contingent of police officers is out in full force. http://www.punchng.com/news/thousands-to-march-in-johannesburg-against-xenophobia/ |
Politics / Re: “south Africans Are Not Xenophobic,” – President Jacob Zuma by raphok1(m): 2:47pm On Apr 23, 2015 |

Politics / “south Africans Are Not Xenophobic,” – President Jacob Zuma by raphok1(m): 2:44pm On Apr 23, 2015 |
President Jacob Zuma has pledged to tackle anti- migrant sentiment in South Africa and to address deep-rooted problems behind the attacks. “South Africans are not xenophobic,” he said Wednesday. “If we don’t deal with the underlying issues, it will come back.” Zuma gave few details of government plans, but said the violence was driven by “criminal elements” as well as friction between foreigners and locals. However, several thousand demonstrators marched through central Johannesburg on Thursday to protest against a spate of deadly attacks on immigrants, after further raids by the authorities on suspected gang hideouts. Watched by police, crowds sang songs denouncing xenophobia and carried banners that read “We are all Africans” as migrant workers crowded balconies, shouting their support. “This march sends an important message to the world, to Africans,” David Makhura, premier of Gauteng province of which Johannesburg is the capital, told the demonstrators. “We are going to defeat xenophobia like we defeated apartheid. “We are here to make sure that South Africa is a country of peace for all.” Soldiers were deployed in Johannesburg this week to aid police in operations against hostels housing South African men who are accused of targeting migrants from Zimbabwe, Malawi, Mozambique and other African countries. At least seven people have been killed in three weeks of unrest that have revived memories of xenophobic bloodshed in 2008, when 62 people were killed. “I am here to make a stand, to say ‘Not in my name’,” Zain Mayet, 20, one of the marchers, told AFP. “Keeping quiet makes me as guilty as those who are committing violence. “We are here to demonstrate that not everyone in South Africa is a criminal who attacks foreign nationals.” UN chief Ban Ki-moon condemned the violence and called for “all efforts” to be made to avoid future attacks. “He welcomes the public expressions of the many South Africans who have been calling for peaceful coexistence and harmony with foreign nationals,” Ban’s spokesman said in a statement. - Forced to flee - Two people were arrested late Wednesday when police, backed by soldiers, stormed a workers’ hostel in the city’s crowded Alexandra township. In total, over 300 people have been detained. The unrest erupted in the port city of Durban about three weeks ago and later spread to Johannesburg, the economic capital. Many immigrants have been forced to flee their homes and abandon their small shops as marauding mobs hunted down foreigners at night. “Over 5,000 people from Malawi, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Democratic Republic of Congo and Burundi still seek refuge in displacement camps,” Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF – Doctors Without Borders) said in a statement. “Injured Malawian and Zimbabwean men told medics that they are too afraid to openly seek medical treatment for their wounds and fractures for fear of further attack.” More than 20 years since the end of apartheid, many South Africans believe the lack of opportunities for young blacks and a severe jobs shortage has led to deep frustration. One Mozambican man was stabbed to death in Alexandra township last Saturday in scenes that provoked widespread outrage after the killing was captured in graphic newspaper photographs. Alexandra, where Nelson Mandela lived as a young man, is one of the most troubled parts of Johannesburg and is located next to the upmarket business district of Sandton. Regional relations have been strained by the attacks, with Zimbabwe, Malawi and Mozambique organising for some worried citizens to return home. Neighbouring Mozambique said more than 2,000 citizens had fled the violence. Five buses also arrived back in Zimbabwe on Wednesday. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/04/south-africans-are-not-xenophobic-president-jacob-zuma/ |

Politics / Gunmen Shoot At Ekiti APC Members by raphok1(m): 11:14am On Apr 02, 2015 |
Crisis returned to Ekiti State on Wednesday as gunmen attacked the All Progressives Congress Secretariat and jubilant members of the party. The APC members had just returned from the streets of Ado Ekiti where they had gone to celebrate the victory of the APC candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) in the Saturday’s Presidential election. The state Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatubosun, who addressed journalists in Ado Ekiti after the attack said the gunmen came in three Hilux vans with Government House registration number and three men in police uniform sitting in the front. Accusing Governor Ayodele Fayose and the Police of complicity in the attack, he said the party had earlier got information that plan was being hatched by some top officials in the Government House to prevent any celebration in the state. He alleged that the gunmen were members of a killer gang sent to disrupt the APC victory party by the governor. But Fayose said the attack was a self-sponsored attack by the APC to make it look like an attack from outside, urging the people to disregard the allegations. Olatubosun wondered why the hoodlums attacked the secretariat unchallenged in the presence of a detachment of police led by the Divisional Police Officer of the Ologede Police Station, Ado Ekiti that had provided security for the APC. According to him, the gunmen brandishing guns, cutlasses and axes, rained bullets on the secretariat and destroyed no fewer than five cars parked at the secretariat. Olatunbosun mentioned Femi, Basiru, Ayo and Opeyemi as the alleged leaders of the attack. The intensity of the attack, he said, forced party members and passers-by to scamper for safety. “We had few members left when they came because some of our teeming members who held a peaceful victory procession were already leaving before they came. They shot at our secretariat. “We were aware that they were coming but we never knew Governor Fayose could do anything funny because of the mood of the nation, though, we heard him boasting that he won’t allow anyone to mark the victory of Buhari in Ekiti State,” he said. http://www.punchng.com/news/gunmen-shoot-at-ekiti-apc-members/ |

Sports / Revealed: Di Maria Not Giving Up Man Utd Career As He Hits Gym by raphok1(m): 10:11am On Apr 02, 2015 |
Manchester United wing ace Angel di Maria isn't giving up on his Premier League career. Instead, the Argie is bulking up to handle the rigours of the English game. The Daily Star Sunday says United have put him on a special gym programme which is destined to increase his strength, without any of his speed and mobility being lost. Di Maria, 27, is working closely with United’s fitness specialists at the club’s Carrington complex. It’s something United have done before to beef up slightly-built players like goalkeeper David De Gea and winger Adnan Januzaj. And Di Maria has been joined in the gym by striker-starlet James Wilson, 19. Read more: |
