The president of Zambia is reported to have died in a London hospital. Update later.
Update:

President Micheal Sata dies in London
tvc news channel

Update-

Zambian President Michael Sata has died in London, where he had been receiving treatment for an undisclosed illness, three private Zambian media outlets said on Wednesday.

The reports on the private Muzi television station, and the Zambia Reports and Zambian Watchdog websites said the southern African nation's cabinet was about to meet.

Government officials gave no immediate comment.

The reports said Sata had died on Tuesday evening at London's King Edward VII hospital. The hospital declined to comment.

Sata, 77, left Zambia for medical treatment abroad on October 19 accompanied by his wife and family members, according to a brief government statement that gave no further details.

There has been no official update on his condition and acting president Edgar Lungu had to lead celebrations last week to mark the landlocked nation's 50th anniversary of independence from Britain.

Concern over Sata's health has been mounting in Africa's second-largest copper producer since June, when he disappeared from the public eye without explanation and was then reported to be getting medical treatment in Israel.

He missed a scheduled speech at the U.N. General Assembly in September amid reports that he had fallen ill in his New York hotel.

A few days before that, he had attended the opening of parliament in Lusaka, joking: "I am not dead." Sata has not been seen in public since he returned to Zambia from New York in late September.

Sata who once worked as a railway porter in London had been the country's president since September, 2011 after winning a tight presidential race against the then incumbent president, Rupiah Banda.

BREAKING NEWS:
The double amputee athlete has been sentenced to 5 years in prison for culpable homicide also known as manslaughter. More news later
CNN.com

UPDATED:
(CNN) -- From a globally lauded athlete to convicted killer, Oscar Pistorius' fall from grace culminated Tuesday with a five-year sentence in the shooting death of his girlfriend.
The sentence was imposed for the charge of culpable homicide, which in South Africa means a person was killed unintentionally, but unlawfully.
He was also given a three-year sentence on a firearms charge, but it was suspended for five years on condition he is not found guilty of another crime where there is negligence involving a firearm during that period.
That count related to an occasion when Pistorius discharged a loaded handgun under a table in a busy restaurant. No one was hurt.
During his trial, the double-amputee sprinter often sobbed at the mention of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp's name. He insisted that he mistook her for an intruder when he shot her through a toilet door on Valentine's Day 2013.
But there was very little visible reaction from Pistorius as the sentence was read.
Pistorius' defense has called for a sentence of house arrest and community service.

'Mine and mine alone'
Giving her reasoning Tuesday, Judge Thokozile Masipa emphasized that the decision on sentencing would be "mine and mine alone."
She pointed out that sentencing is not an exact science but relies on an assessment of elements including the nature and seriousness of the crime, the personal circumstances of the accused and the interests of society.
She said she would also take into account the factors in sentencing of retribution, deterrence and rehabilitation.
In any case, she said, "sentencing is about achieving the right balance."

Another heath worker who attended to Dr. Thomas Duncan the first American Ebola victim has tested positive to the deadly virus. Health care officials from the hospital in Dallas made this known after conducting confirmatory test on the blood sample collected from the worker.

so are you suggesting we ban football?

I know we have called this man all sorts of names. Egocentric, bossy, selfish, stubborn and lots more. But it seems it has done no good. Tell us what you want to be done. I bet you those things are a hundred and sixty seven million. Oya lets go!

He is a genius. he showed an African can do it.
No negative image here, you are the one living in negative image.
Sahara reporters tried to paint him bad, but they failed woefully.
If he doesn't influence you, he influenced many people from around the world.

Achievements are without biase a universal currency and I got the fact that he has influenced people with his achievements. Whether some people try to discredit or denigrate his achievement is left to be seen in years to come. I support ur claim that he's worthy of celebration, what I don't support is over celebrating him when thousands of Nigerians home and abroad have equally achieved that fit in their respective field. No offence

InyinyaAgbaOku: Did he win the Gordon prize for super computing or not?

Yes he won, only by default. How has d award helped in the betterment of our life if not negative image through falsely presenting himself as a Phd holder. But you can't put him with the likes of Akunyili, I understand you.

Fyi there is no more Ebola in Nigeria.

A patient in a Dallas hospital has been diagnosed of the deadly Ebola virus. This is the first time the virus will be diagnosed in America. Previous American patients got infected from outside of US.

CNN BREAKING NEWS.

Update-
DALLAS — A patient in a Dallas hospital has been confirmed to have the deadly Ebola virus, News 8 has learned. That person has been held in "strict isolation" as he or she was evaluated for possible exposure to the virus. This is the first case of Ebola confirmed in the United States. The Centers for Disease Control will hold a press conference at 4:30 p.m. in Atlanta regarding the diagnosis. In a statement issued Tuesday night, Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas said the patient was admitted based on symptoms and "recent travel history." The hospital, located at Greenville Avenue and Walnut Hill Lane in northeast Dallas, said it's complying with all recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and the Texas Department of Health to ensure the safety of other patients and medical staff.
Zachary Thompson, the director of the Dallas County Health & Human Services, said Tuesday morning the Center for Disease Control was mobilizing as if the patient tested positive for the virus. Thompson said Tuesday morning Dallas County is ready to care for the patient. "This is not Africa," Thompson said. "We have a great infrastructure to deal with an outbreak." The World Health Organization said it has confirmed more than 3,000 Ebola-related deaths in West Africa during the current outbreak, which has spread to five countries: Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria, Senegal and Sierra Leone. Fort Worth physician Dr. Kent Brantly, who became infected while working in Liberia, recovered after being moved to a hospital in Atlanta. Earlier this month, President Barack Obama announced that the U.S. would offer military and medical help to combat the disease in West Africa which has now reached epidemic proportions. Several other U.S. hospitals have previously raised alerts in connection with patients who presented Ebola-like symptoms, but all those cases tested negative for the virus.

All these loud-mouthed politicians like to make news while a small lab in Canada is doing wonders on Ebola research. Must Fashola tell the whole world that he is ready to fund research in that direction?

What research fund has LASG made available to her own institution - LASU? Just lousy noise making for political popularity!

I just fell victim of number 1&2 cos I opened this thread during praise and worship

Ceasar1: The guy dey talk like say he see the witch abi na village witch for real holding person for bed. Me self they hail.

You are so on point! I dont want to guess where the guy is from . Sleep paralysis is biological

davdandam: See this op, all these ones na Oyinbo something o hmmmm we talk say witches dey hold you for bed, you dey talk wiggle your toe and don't fight it smh you go tey for that bed.

Na you sabi oo , so u don see witch hold person for bed? I carry y.ansh for u oo

8. Coughing for Help
A variation of using your voice is to try to cough into wakefulness. Like breathing, coughing can be autonomic or consciously regulated. By coughing on purpose, you can jar yourself awake.
9. Write out the Plan
The suggestions above all have helped hundreds of people get out of SP and get some sleep. Not every tactic will work with you. But having too many tactics in your mind can actually be counterproductive. So it is important to make a plan, almost like the fire escape plan you may have for evacuating your family home in case of emergency. Write it out; this will cement the plan in your mind and make it easier to remember when the paralysis comes on strong.
10. The Ultimate Method This is the single best way to wake up from sleep paralysis and it’s really in a class of it’s own. When you realize you are in SP, scrunch up your face. In other words, make a face like you just smelled something bad. Snarl and squint. Do this two or three times in a row and the paralysis will break IMMEDIATELY. I’m not sure why it is so effective, but unlike the pinky wiggle, this method is foolproof.
After you wake up, get out of bed immediately and turn on a light. Wash your face with cold water. If you just stay in bed, the chance of sliding right back into sleep paralysis is pretty high.

with help from: http://dreamstudies.org/2010/04/29/9-ways-to-wake-up-from-sleep-paralysis/

5. Focus on your Breath
An easy way to stop these nightmares is to do some controlled breathing. Controlled breathing does several things at once. For starters, it lessens the feelings of chest pain that sometimes accompany SP. Breathing is autonomic like the heart’s beating or digestion, so it’s not paralyzed like the big muscles in our arms, chest and legs. But breath can be controlled with attention or be affected by severe fear, which may be why SP sufferers “forget” to breathe when under attack. If you can control your breath, you can control your fear. Simply draw your breath in at a normal rate, and exhale fully, using all of your lung capacity. Notice that you can breathe fully without obstruction. This technique will keep you calm as the SP runs its course and then you will wake up without any trouble. A few moments of focused breathing with a strong intention to wake up is effective.
6. Lean into Love to Find Courage
Now is also the time to lean into unconditional love. For many, the surest path is in religious or spiritual beliefs. Regardless, focus on a figure that you admire and love. Think of someone who calms you down—someone who you associate with peace, love and safety. This could be Jesus, (About my first experience this morning, I was shouting the name Jesus and it couldn’t just come out loud. After calling the name for about 3 times, I then called Holy Ghost fire, dramatically it was like a certain sound barrier was removed and I woke up into reality).
7. Getting Help from your Sleep Partner
If someone shares your bed, you can tell them about your SP attacks and what to look for when you are having a nightmare.
You could also have your partner respond to a verbal request. This only works some of the time, because some people cannot speak in paralysis. But some can. Choose a short word that is easy to say. “Help” is a good choice. When you’re in paralysis, focus your attention on your throat and say “Help.” Don’t try to say it as loud as you can; what may happen is that your imagination will take over and you will only say the word in your dream. Instead, say it forcefully but without screaming.

I experienced this strange event for the first time in my life this morning and after praying about it in my morning devotions, decided to do an internet search and I felt its worthy of sharing.

Sleep paralysis is the terrifying feeling of being held down after just waking up or going to sleep. You can’t move or scream, and sometimes this paralysis is accompanied with the certainty that someone –or something — is in the room.

Quite simply, sleep paralysis is one of the most horrifying experiences in life, because we feel awake but can’t believe what is happening to us.

The truth is, sleep paralysis is a biological event and there is nothing to be worried about. You’re not dying. It’s a hiccup in the brain’s chemical soup as we transition from sleep to wakefulness.

Recurrent sleep paralysis can often be prevented by attending to lifestyle choices, but making new habits can take time.

So how do you control this strange event even when it appears uncontrollable?

1. Don’t Fight

If you feel like you are being held down and you can’t move, do not fight back. This actually will intensify the experience. Not only is fighting back likely to increase the feelings of being held down (so much that it may seem like you are being crushed), but fighting back will also increase the fear, thus triggering the emotional centers of the brain and strengthening this lucid nightmare. Controlling fear is the most important skill during these moments.


2. Surrender and Go with the Flow

Instead, try to relax when you notice SP starting to happen. Prepare an affirmation like “This is SP and I am okay.” If you feel pressure on your chest, see if you can “go with” the pressure rather than against it. It’s like winning a fight by having no resistance. For example you might often feel like you are being pushed into the mattress when you have SP. Let yourself go, and mentally “pull” in the direction you are being pushed. What happens is you then “pop” into a full-on dream, or you can wake up directly.

3. Wiggle your Toe

Another excellent tactic that works for many people is to try to move an extremity, such as a finger or a toe. Most of the feelings of paralysis are in the belly, chest, and throat. So focus all you attention on the toe and try to move it back and forth. In many cases, this will break the paralysis.


4. Clench your Fist

This is a variation of the toe wiggle method. Clench and unclench your fist.

Alakada is more interesting based on the fact that every scene is funny and almost everyone acted their role very well.
