Politics / Where's Tinubu Now? RCCG Pastor Said She Was Kidnapped By Fulani Herdsmen by tunderoc(m): 9:53am On Aug 04, 2019
It's now very clear that this country 'Nigeria' is under siege of killer fulani herdsmen (4th deadliest terrorist group in the world). My question is where is Tinubu now that it's is clear from the account of the RCCG pastor who was recently rescued from the marauding Fulani herdsmen. Or will he discredit this too and say it's OPC or IPOB that are raping, killing and kidnapping with reckless abandon.
What is the way forward? This people won't stop till they have our lands and prolly wipe every other ethnic group off the face of earth. We sure need to act now. This isn't a time for IPOB n Afonja rant biko.

Let one Igbo or Yoruba man like a post against BUBU's RUGA, DSS will invite him for hate speech n terrorism, but just take a look at this. "there truly was a country" until SW,SS,SE join forces and fight for the survival of her people, only then can we truly have our country.

Phones / Lenovo Show Off All New Bendable Smartphones And Tablets by tunderoc(m): 4:12pm On Jun 19, 2016
Wow first it was Samsung bendable smartphone, now Lenovo want you to bend your smart phone around your wrist, instead of tucking it away in your pocket or bag.

YouTube personality Meghan McCarthy showed off the flexible smartphone during during Lenovo's Tech World conference earlier this month, taking a pretty standard-looking smartphone and bending it around her wrist like a slap bracelet.

She then proceeded to take a tablet and bend it right in half to show how a tablet could also be comfortably used to take a phone call with bendable technology.

Lenovo SVP and CTO Peter Hortensius told the audience that the technology not only has a bendable screen, but also bendable hardware components like motherboards and batteries.

Lenovo did not announce any names or potential release dates for its new flexible electronics, although Hortensius mentioned that McCarthy should be careful with them because "they cost a little bit more than your average phone or tablet right now."

Foreign Affairs / Check Out This "Fake Istove" By A Chinese Company (photos) by tunderoc(m): 1:47pm On Jun 19, 2016
OMG! This is so hilarious and at the same time annoying. You won't believe that a Chinese manufacturer now produce a fake stove that they call iStove branded after the popular Apple brand.

This is the latest of many Chinese companies cashing in on Big brands name by producing fake product in thier name.


The fake portable gas stoves engraved with Apple logo and "iphone" brand name, was recently discovered only after the single burner stoves were deemed unsafe and seized by Chinese police in Wuhan, according to the Chinese tech website M.I.C. Gadget.

Police found 681 stoves sporting Apple's logo and brand in two warehouses. The stoves had the half eaten apple graphic and "iphone" printed in white on a green background just below the burner. Also, the fake Apple stove was labeled an "Apple China Limited.

Webmasters / How To Install Android OS On Any Computer by tunderoc(m): 9:26am On Jun 19, 2016
Have you ever wondered or dream of having Android operating system on your personal computer. Do you even know that if Android support comes to our desktop it would be useful, and could bring with it better touch support, countless Internet of Things applications and official streaming applications to make an extra cheap streaming device.

Well, thanks to these three ex-Googlers who founded Jide Technology as you can now run Android OS on any PC and all you will need is a flash drive and a few minutes of your time to get started.


What you will need:

The version of Android you will be running is a desktop-optimized fork of Android-x86 called Remix OS.

Before you get started, you will need to download the latest version of Remix OS from Jide. It works on most computers (including Macs), and all you really need to get it up and running is a USB 3.0 flash drive with at least 8GB of storage.

You will also need a program that can write the ISO to the storage drive. UNetbootin is one of the best tools around for the job. It's completely free of charge and works with Linux, Mac and Windows.

Installing and booting Remix OS

After you've downloaded the latest version of Remix OS and installed UNetbootin on your computer, setup and installation is pretty straightforward.

Insert the USB drive and format it to FAT32.
Extract the Remix OS ZIP you downloaded and locate the ISO.
Run UNetbootin and select the Diskimage radio button.
Choose ISO in the dropdown menu.
Paste the path to the Remix OS ISO in the field or use the browse button to locate the file.
In the Drive dropdown, make sure you've selected the correct USB drive.
Click OK.
UNetbootin will begin installing the image on the storage drive, which will take several minutes. Once it's finished, insert the USB drive into the computer you want to boot to Remix OS. From this point, instructions vary a bit between Mac and various PC models.

For Mac:

1. Power down the computer.
2. Once the computer has fully shutdown, hold option and press the power button to boot into Startup Manager.
3. Use the keyboard or mouse to select the Windows drive and press enter (or click) and wait for the system to boot.

For Windows:

1. Power down the computer.
2. The first time you do this, you will need to boot into BIOS. Refer to this chart to find how to boot your PC into the BIOS/UEFI (usually F2, F10 or Delete).
3. Disable Secure Boot under the Boot or Security tabs.
4. Optionally, in the Boot tab, you can change the boot priority by highlighting a drive and using the + or - keys to change the order in which drives boot. Doing so means the computer can boot straight to a flash drive if it's installed, otherwise it will boot normally.
5. In the Save & Exit tab, select the USB drive which you installed Remix OS on to boot from and press Enter.

Foreign Affairs / See What Anonymous Hacker Did To Isis Twitter Accounts by tunderoc(m): 12:20am On Jun 19, 2016
A hacker from the group Anonymous has broken into pro-Isis twitter accounts and filled them with gay pride messages and pornography in the wake of the Orlando night club shooting.

Phrases such as “make love not war” and “I’m gay and I’m proud” appeared on the Isis profiles.
The accounts were hacked in response to the Orlando shootings.

On June 12, Omar Mateen attacked gay nightclub Pulse, which was the worst mass shooting in America’s history. The attack left 49 people dead, and dozens more injured.

Anonymous, a loose network of international “hactivists”, has previously declared war on Isis, promising to shut down their social media channels.
The Anonymous hacker and twitter user ‘WauchulaGhost’ appears to be behind the hackings. He claimed responsibility and posted screenshots of them.

His real identity remains hidden, but in a phone interview with the Washington Post he said: “My goal waking up in the morning [is to] see messages from Daesh, telling me they’re going to kill me or cut my head off. The madder they get, the happier I get.”
The hacked twitter accounts later appeared to have been suspended, fulfilling Anonymous’ aim of shutting down Isis propaganda sites.

Foreign Affairs / See How Acid Bath Murderer Killed 6 People by tunderoc(m): 8:54am On Jun 18, 2016
John George Haigh also known as "The Vampire Killer", born on 24 July 1909, who is also refered to as the Acid Bath Murderer, was an English serial killer in the 1940s. He's famous for battering his victims to death or shooting them before proceeding to drink some of their blood and to make the crime undetected he dispose of the bodies of his victim in acid and watch the body dissolved, before forging papers to be able to sell the victims possessions and collect substantial sums of money.


His Victims:

After Haigh was freed from jail in 1943 for fraud, he met his former employer Donald McSwan, who became his first victim at a pub. McSwan introduced Haigh to his parents, Donald snr and Amy, who mentioned that they had invested in property. On 6 September 1944, McSwan disappeared. Haigh later admitted hitting him over the head after luring him into a basement which he use as a workshop. He then put McSwan's body into a 40-gallon drum and tipped concentrated sulphuric acid on to it. Two days later he returned to find the body had become sludge, which he poured down a manhole.

He told McSwan's parents, Donald snr and Amy, that their son had gone into hiding to avoid being called up for military service. Haigh then took over McSwan's house and when Donald and Amy became curious as to why their son had not returned as the war was coming to an end, he murdered them too – on 2 July 1945, he lured them to the same basement where he killed Donald and disposed of them.

Haigh stole McSwan's pension cheques, sold their properties – stealing about £8,000 – and moved into the Onslow Court Hotel in Kensington. By the summer of 1947, Haigh, a gambler, was running short of money. To solve his financial troubles, he found another young couple to kill and rob: Dr Archibald Henderson and his wife, Rose, whom he murdered after feigning interest in a house they were selling.

He rented a small workshop at 2 Leopold Road, Crawley, Sussex, and moved acid and drums there from Gloucester Road. Haigh was also known to have stayed at Crawley's George Hotel on several occasions. On 12 February 1948, he drove Henderson to Crawley, on the pretext of showing him an invention. When they arrived Haigh shot Henderson in the head with a revolver he had earlier stolen from the doctor’s house. He then lured Mrs Henderson to the workshop, claiming her husband had fallen ill, and shot her also.

After disposing of the Hendersons' bodies in oil drums filled with acid, he forged a letter from them and sold all of their possessions for £8,000 (except their dog and motor car, which he kept).

Haigh Last Victim:

Haigh's next and last victim was Olive Durand-Deacon, 69, the wealthy widow of solicitor John Durand-Deacon and a fellow resident at the Onslow Court Hotel. She mentioned to Haigh, by then calling himself an engineer, an idea that she had for artificial fingernails. He invited her down to the Leopold Road workshop on 18 February 1949, and once inside he shot her in the back of the neck with a .38 calibre Webley revolver, stripped her of her valuables, including a Persian lamb coat, and put her into the acid bath. Two days later Durand-Deacon’s friend, Constance Lane, reported her missing.

Detectives soon discovered Haigh’s record of theft and fraud and searched the workshop. Police not only found Haigh’s attaché case containing a dry cleaner’s receipt for Mrs. Durand-Deacon’s coat, but also papers referring to the Hendersons and McSwans. Further investigation of the sludge at the workshop by the pathologist Keith Simpson revealed three human gallstones and part of a denture which was later identified by Mrs Durand-Deacon's dentist during the trial and conviction.

Questioned by Detective Inspector Albert Webb, Haigh asked him "Tell me, frankly, what are the chances of anybody being released from Broadmoor?" (a high security psychiatric hospital). The inspector said he could not discuss that sort of thing, so Haigh replied "Well, if I told you the truth, you would not believe me. It sounds too fantastic to believe."

Haigh then confessed that he had killed not only Durand-Deacon, the McSwans and Hendersons, but also three other people: a young man called Max, a girl from Eastbourne and a woman from Hammersmith. These claims could not be substantiated.

Health / This New Condom Is So Strong Even Needle Couldn't Rip It by tunderoc(m): 9:28pm On Jun 17, 2016
A new product launched by LELO, a Swedish intimacy company has been dubbed “the Apple of the pleasure product industry,” HEX condoms represent one of the first major advances in condom technology since the reservoir tip was added almost 70 years ago.

LELO engineers spent seven years developing their new condom, driven by one crucial discovery: it didn’t require new materials but an upgraded structure.


“The challenge was to make something radically different with a material already approved for condom use," Filip Sedec, LELO founder and inventor of LELO HEX, told Mashable. "We did this because people need to be having great, safe sex today, not ten years from now.”

Why hexagons? It turns out this six-sided shape is among the most durable under pressure and seep-resistant, as represented in nature.

“There’s a reason why honeycombs are the shape they are, and why snake scales move the way they do. It’s because hexagons are strong, symmetrical, and tessellate perfectly," Sedec explained. "They’re one of nature’s go-to shapes for anything needing to be at once lightweight, and incredibly strong. That’s why the structure of Graphene – the thinnest, strongest material we know of today is ... you guessed it, hexagonal.”

Unlike others on the market, HEX condoms feature a honeycomb hexagonal lattice. Each HEX condom integrates 350 small hexagons through its latex surface, resulting in effective performance.

The extremely thin hexagonal panels also flex and mold to the wearer. It's more forgiving of friction and stress, preventing the latex from tearing, LELO claims. Even when repeatedly poked with a needle, the taut HEX doesn’t rip.

The hexagonal ridge is on the inside of the condom is a big reason why the condom is less flimsy — it acts like a tire on water, gripping and flexing with the penis. The poked hole stays within the hexagonal cell and doesn’t rip the entire latex condom.

Technology Market / Google Paid A Whooping $550k To People Who Found Holes In Android by tunderoc(m): 8:51pm On Jun 17, 2016
Sometimes around June 2015, Google started its Android Secuirity Rewards program, awarding money to researcher finding vulnerabilities in Android as well as Nexus phones and tablets.

Google recently shared the results of the program on its blog, and it can be considered a success, both for Google and the researchers involved.


So far, Google has paid more than $550,000 to 82 individuals who found more than 250 qualifying vulnerability reports, Google's Android Security Program Manager Quan To wrote.

The top researcher, identified by Google as @heisecode, is actually making a decent living finding Android bugs; he won a total of $75,750 for 26 vulnerability reports.

He'll get an even bigger enticement to continue searching for bugs in Google's mobile OS, as Google is increasing the awards for reports filled after June 1, 2016.

According to Mashable, From now on, researchers who submit "high-quality" vulnerability reports with proof of concept will receive 33 percent more. High-quality vulnerability reports with a proof of concept, a CTS Test or a patch will get 50 percent more. Also, a "remote or proximal kernel exploit" will now earn $30,000 instead of $20,000, while a "remote exploit chain or exploits leading to TrustZone or Verified Boot compromise" will be rewarded with $50,000 instead of $30,000.

Foreign Affairs / 22-pound Butter Estimated To Be More Than 2,000 Years Old Found In Ireland by tunderoc(m): 1:34pm On Jun 17, 2016
Finding buried treasure is everyones dream but for Jack Conway, a turf cutter from Emlagh bog in County Mesth, Ireland, his find is a bit weird. He was chopping turf at the bog when he came across a 22-pound chunk of butter at the beginning of June.

Researchers at the Cavan Museum estimated it to be more than 2,000 years old and believe:

‘Theoretically the stuff is still edible, but we wouldn’t say it’s advisable’


Bog butter is just that: butter made from cow’s milk that’s been buried in a bog, though, after thousands of years, it often has the consistency of cheese.

No one is sure exactly why the butter was buried in bogs - some think it was sometimes an offering to the gods - but evidence strongly suggests it was a method of preservation.

Most bog butter doesn’t contain salt, which was often used as a means of preserving food before modern refrigeration. The bogs, which are essentially cold-water swamps, and their native peat do a fine job keeping food fresh. A University of Michigan researcher found that meat left in a bog for two years was just as preserved as meat kept in his freezer, the University Record reported in 1995.

Phones / Mark Zuckerberg To Invest $24 Million In Andela To Train African Engineers by tunderoc(m): 3:37pm On Jun 16, 2016
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, today announced as part of the Chan Zuckerberg Inititive, He and his wife Priscilla will be investing in an education company start-up called Andela. See what he shared on his Facebook page below:

As part of the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, Priscilla and I are investing in an education company called Andela.
We live in a world where talent is evenly distributed, but opportunity is not. Andela's mission is to close that gap.
I was lucky to be born in a wealthy country where I had access to computers and the internet. If I had been born somewhere else, I'm not sure I would have been able to start Facebook -- or at least it would have taken a lot longer and been more difficult.
The gap between talent and opportunity is among the greatest in Africa. Six out of every ten Africans are under the age of 35 -- and in some places, more than half of them are out of work.

Andela is working to unlock that potential by finding and training top tech talent in Africa. After a six-month software development program, Andela Fellows work remotely for Fortune 500 companies and startups around the world. Companies get access to great developers, and developers in Africa get the opportunity to use their skills and support their communities.
Priscilla and I believe in supporting innovative models of learning wherever they are around the world -- and what Andela is doing is pretty amazing. Check out http://www.duketundesblog.com/2016/06/mark-and-priscilla-zuckerberg-to-invest.html#1IuWisbB0cuMYYJ0.99

Foreign Affairs / These 7 Cities Will Be World's Richest Cities By 2025 by tunderoc(m): 9:00am On Jun 15, 2016
You will be surprised that New York, London and even Hong Kong will not match up to these seven cities that are racing up to become the world's richest cities by 2025, according to researchers from McKinsey.

See full list of top seven richest cities in the world by 2025 below:


Doha, Qatar.

Qatar's Doha is predicted to be one of the rising stars in terms of per capita GDP. The country is already among the richest in the world, and huge investments ahead of the 2022 Soccer World Cup are set to give it extra boost.

Bergen, Norway.

Bergen is the second most populous city in Norway.
It is already at the forefront of the country's economy, but McKinsey's researchers predict it will rise to become one of the richest cities globally. It serves as the hub for Norway's energy industry, shipping, and marine research.

Trondheim, Norway.

Another Norwegian city on the list, Trondheim is the birthplace of mobile tech. It is where the GSM standard was invented in the 1980s.
Since then, the local tech scene has been booming, and now boasts over 550 startups with more than 10,000 employees, according to officials.


Hwaseong, South Korea.

Hwaseong, although not widely known outside South Korea, is a booming city south of Seoul. It's home to the global research facilities of Hyundai (HYMTF) and Samsung (SSNLF), as well as flagship plants for Kia and LG Electronics.
The city is investing heavily in new residential real estate in the super modern Dongtan district.

Asan, South Korea.

Like its neighbor Hwaseong, Asan is home to several large industrial complexes.
It also benefits from being near the port of Pyeongtaek, which is the closest port to east China, and a global shipping hub.

Rhine Ruhr, Germany.

Rhine-Ruhr is already one of the most successful urban areas in Germany. It's the third largest in Europe, trailing only Paris and London.
Many powerhouses of German industry and finance are based in the region, including 12 Fortune 500 companies.

Foreign Affairs / Why We Arrested 18 Lions - Indian Forest Officials by tunderoc(m): 7:22am On Jun 15, 2016
Forest officials in Gujarat state in india have arrested about 18 lions over the past two months and were now being kept in separate cages so they can test the lions' prints and ecrement in an attempt to identify a man eater among them suspected of killing three people.

Six attacks on humans have been reported recently near the sanctuary, the only habitat of the Asiatic lion.


"We think we have pinpointed the guilty lion, but we are still awaiting the results of nine more animals," he said.

Wildlife expert Ruchi Dave told the BBC that the "tests" involved studying the pug marks and faecal matter of the lions.

"The officials are also studying the animals' behaviour. Man eating lions usually get aggressive at the sight of a human being," she said.

Another wildlife expert Revtubha Raizada said the man-eating lion would be caged for the rest of its life, as it was too unsafe to release it back into the wild.

Some experts feel that the thriving lion population in Gir forest is to blame for the "unusual" behaviour by the lions.
Govind Patel, the former chief wildlife warden of Gujarat, told the Indian Express newspaper that Gir could accommodate only 270 lions, forcing some prides to settle outside the boundaries of the sanctuary.

The "guilty lion" will be kept in a zoo for life while the others will be released back into the Gir sanctuary, the officials told BBC Hindi.

Foreign Affairs / ISIS Leader Al-baghdadi Killed In U.S Led Airstrike by tunderoc(m): 9:38pm On Jun 14, 2016
Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the supreme leader of the Islamic States (ISIS) and head of its Caliphate, has been reportedly killed in a U.S led airstrike in Syria.

According to reports from multiple sources Al-Baghdadi, 44, born Ibrahim Awwad Ali Muhammad al-Badri al-Samarrai was injured in an airstrike on Friday and later died from his wounds. There has been no official statement from the U.S. government about these developments. According to several sections of the Arabic media, al-Baghdadi was killed in the de facto capital of the Islamic State, the city of Raqqa. He was accompanied by several commanders of ISIS at the time of the airstrike, several of whom are either injured or killed.


However, this is not the first time al-Baghdadi has been reportedly killed in a U.S. airstrike, so we still have to keep our fingers crossed. In 2014,

Phones / New Samsung Mystery Foldable Phone REVEALED..... by tunderoc(m): 9:13pm On Jun 13, 2016
The much anticipated Samsung foldable smartphone now has a name. The mystery smartphone which was first reported in September 2015 is the Galaxy X.

The mystery smartphone codenamed "Project valley" is reported to come with an iris scanner, meaning users will have the ability to encrypt and unlock the phone with their eyes.


Samsung’s foldable phone would be a huge technological marvel, this reason of this is simply because it’s not going to be foldable like a flip device neither will it have two separate screens. The Galaxy X would be bendable; the display would “actually” be foldable without damages. Now that's some great development in mobile gadgets and technology.

A report by ChristianDaily says the Samsung has filed a patent for this device and it includes a fingerprint scanner. While this looks super cool, we can’t be certain that the patent would come to life 100% on the Galaxy X, but it does leave a glimmer of hope that the phone will have an extra layer of security which could be an irish scanner or the fingerprint sensor.

Phones / Android At Risk From This "Undetectable" Qualcomm Software Flaw by tunderoc(m): 6:57pm On May 06, 2016
SNAPDRAGON-POWERED ANDROID SMARTPHONES are at risk from a "undetectable" Qualcomm software flaw that has left users' text messages and call histories open to hackers.
The flaw in question is CVE-2016-2060, and is described by FireEye offshoot Mandiant as a lack of input sanitization of the "interface" parameter of the "netd" daemon that is part of the Android Open Source Project (AOSP).

When Qualcomm introduced new APIs as part of the Android network manager system service, vulnerable phones were then connected to the "netd" daemon, which allowed an attacker to potentially perform tasks such as viewing a users' SMS database and phone history.
Those most at risk are the 34 per cent of Android users running versions 4.3 and earlier, as they lack a feature called Security Enhancements for Android (SEAndroid) and likely will remain unpatched.
The researchers note that the flaw, which can be exploited by a hacker physically unlocking an unprotected device or by the user installing a malicious application, is largely undetectable.

Politics / SEXUAL HARASSMENT BILL: Randy Lecturers To Face Jail Term by tunderoc(m): 7:51am On May 05, 2016
This is a positive one coming from the Nigerian Senate, as a bill seeking to criminalize sexual harassment from lecturer to student in tertiary institution.

The bill titled the sexual harassment in tertiary educational institutions prohibition bill, 2016 was sponsored by Senator Ovie Omo-Agege representing Delta central senatorial district.

The bill which is co-sponsored by 45 other senators specifically makes it’s a criminal offence for any educator in a university, polytechnic or any other tertiary educational institution to violate or exploit the student-lecturer fiduciary relationship for sexual pleasures.


The bill imposes stiff penalties on offenders in its overall objective of providing tighter statutory protection for students against sexual hostility and all forms of sexual harassment in tertiary schools. The bill provides a compulsory five-year jail term for lecturers who sexually harass students.

When passed into law, vice chancellors of universities, rectors of polytechnics and other chief executives of institutions of higher learning will go to jail for two years if they fail to act within a week on complaints of sexual harassment made by students.

The bill expressly allows sexually harassed students, their parents, or guardians to seek civil remedies in damages against sexual predator lecturers before or after their successful criminal prosecution by the State. However, it also seeks protection from sexual harassment for prospective students seeking admissions into higher educational institutions, students of generally low mental capacity and physically challenged students.

The Bill, whose sponsors span across all geo-political zones of the country, also stipulates as offences solicitation of sex or sexual advances by lecturers which result to intimidation, hostile or offensive environment for students. It makes provision for “institutional disciplinary procedures” to be followed by any sexually harassed student to report or submit a formal sexual harassment complaint within a tertiary institution to the administrative head of the institution.

Foreign Affairs / MOTIVATIONAL Monday:from A Shepherd Girl In Morocco To France Education Minister by tunderoc(m): 10:16am On May 02, 2016
Quote of the day: “Today is a new day. Don't let your history interfere with your destiny! Let today be the day you stop being a victim of your circumstances and start taking action towards the life you want. You have the power and the time to shape your life. Break free from the poisonous victim mentality and embrace the truth of your greatness. You were not meant for a mundane or mediocre life!”
― Steve Maraboli


Be inspired by the transformation of Najat Belkacem a former Shepherd girl from Morocco, who became France education Minister.


Dreams and aspirations may be tied down by the strings of one’s current circumstances, but with grit and determination, one’s possibilities are limitless. A living example of the same is Najat Belkacem, the Minister of Education & Research, France.
Second of her seven siblings, Najat was born in a village near Nador in the Moroccan countryside of Bni Chiker, in 1977. In 1982, she moved to the suburbs of Amiens with her family, to join her father, a building worker. An immigrant by status, her interest in politics started from an early age. She graduated from the Paris Institute of Political Studies in 2002. It was at the institute that she met Boris Vallaud, fell in love and married him in August 2005.

Soon, she joined the Socialist Party in 2002 and then the team of Lyon Mayor Gerard Collomb in 2003, leading actions to strengthen local democracy, fight against discrimination, promotion of citizen rights and access to employment and housing.

Elected to the Regional Council of Rhone-Alpes in 2004, she chaired the Culture Commission, resigning in 2008. In 2005, she became adviser to the Socialist Party. In 2005 and 2006 she was a columnist for the cultural programme C’est tout vu on Télé Lyon Municipale alongside Stéphane Cayrol. In February 2007, she joined Ségolène Royal’s campaign team as a spokeswoman, alongside Vincent Peillon and Arnaud Montebourg.

In March 2008, she was elected conseillère générale of the Rhône department in the cantonal elections with 58.52% of the votes in the second round, under the banner of the Socialist Party in the canton of Lyon-XIII.

Phones / Samsung's Iphone 7 Gamble With Galaxy Note 6 by tunderoc(m): 7:48pm On May 01, 2016
Tech: Rumour has it that Samsung could be developing a smartphone camera with massive 1/1.7inch type sensor and an equally mind-boggling f/1.4 lens, but don’t expect it to appear in the forthcoming Galaxy Note 6 as it battles with the anticipated iPhone 7 Pro.


According to a report at Photo Rumors these new camera components will form part of a highly-aggressive smartphone camera development road-map for Samsung, a road eventually leading to the impressive specs above. A bigger sensor increases the amount of light that can be captured, and therefore plays a very significant role in the overall picture quality a camera can deliver – especially in low light situations.


However, there’s no way such a camera module would fit inside a phone with anything like the dimensions of any future Galaxy S8 or even Galaxy Note 6 handsets.

A 1/1.7” type sensor wouldn’t be the largest ever camera sensor in a smartphone, that accolade belongs to the Panasonic Lumix DMC-CM1 with its 1” type sensor, but it would represent a significant leap in sensor size over current flagship handsets such as the 1/2.5” type sensor found in the Galaxy S7.

Although technically a fully functional smartphone, the DMC-CM1 is marketed as a camera with phone capabilities rather than the other way around. To find a bona fide smartphone with a sensor anywhere near the size of Samsung’s rumoured monster, we have to go back to 2013 and Nokia ’s Lumia 1020 with its 1/1.5” sensor or to 2012 for the, now legendary, 808 PureView.

Health / How To Naturally Lower Your Blood Pressure by tunderoc(m): 2:04pm On May 01, 2016
Do you know that 85% of people in the world have high blood pressure and of this percentage only about 52.5% have it controlled and about 47.5% do not have it controlled and according to Heart.org projection by 2030, the prevalence of hypertension will increase by 7.2%. In a country like Nigeria, with so many ups and downs it's somehow difficult for one to manage or monitor ones health so today i will be sharing you with 7 Ways to naturally lower your blood pressure.


What is normal blood Pressure vs. High blood pressure?

"When your heart pumps blood through the blood vessels, the blood pushes against the walls of your blood vessels. This creates blood pressure. Your body needs blood pressure to move the blood throughout your body, so every part of your body can get the oxygen it needs (heart.org).” while "High blood pressure is a common condition in which the long-term force of the blood against your artery walls is high enough that it may eventually cause health problems, such as heart disease. (Mayo clinic)."


High blood pressure cannot be cured, but it can be managed. In some cases high blood pressure is genetic, therefore out of your control. In other cases high blood pressure can be due to an unhealthy diet, lack of exercise and stress.

If you have high blood pressure and you choose to ignore the effects, you are putting yourself at serious health risks. High blood pressure causes damage to your circulatory system and is one of the major causes of a heart attack and stroke. You are also at high risk for kidney damage, and peripheral artery disease.

So you are currently living with high blood pressure?. it’s okay, you can manage it. Make sure you keep your doctor appointments, follow your healthcare provider’s advice and try these 7 Ways to Naturally Lower Your Blood Pressure.

1. Exercise
Exercising regularly is an all-natural way to help lower and control your blood pressure. According to Mayo Clinic, “Regular physical activity makes your heart stronger. A stronger heart can pump more blood with less effort. If your heart can work less to pump, the force on your arteries decreases, lowering your blood pressure.” Try adding exercise in your daily routine whenever you can. Even something as small as taking the stairs instead of the elevator and walking to your destination instead of driving can make a huge impact.
2. Eat Healthy
If you have high blood pressure, it is important to eat a healthy diet. Cut down on your salt intake, eat fruits, vegetables and avoid fatty foods. Choose to eat lean meats or fish, and bake or grill your foods instead of frying them. *Bonus tip: Eat spinach, sunflower seeds, bananas and beans to help fight and prevent high blood pressure.
3. Reduce Stress
Have you been feeling stressed? This may be why your blood pressure is so high. Stress causes your heart rate to go up and you’re breathing to become faster, leading to an increase in blood pressure. It’s important to think about the things that make you stressed out, and then work on eliminating the stressors from your life.
4. Say no to Alcohol
Drinking too much alcohol can raise your blood pressure. People who drink 5 drinks or more per day have a higher chance of long term issues. Eventually resulting in a higher chance of heart-attack and stroke.
5. Drink Tea
According to WebMD, “Drinking as little as a half-cup of green or oolong tea per day may lower the risk of high blood pressure by nearly 50%, according to a new study of Chinese tea drinkers.Researchers found that men and women who drank tea on a daily basis for at least a year were much less likely to develop hypertension than those who didn't, and the more tea they drank, the bigger the benefits.”
6. Reduce Sodium
Reducing your sodium intake will prevent you from high blood pressure. Limit your intake to no more than 1,500 mg per day. Salt has a negative impact on your kidneys, puts a strain on your arteries and negatively impacts your vascular reactivity.
7. Meditate
Meditation uses deep breathing and focus as a way to feel calm and restore inner peace. It is proven that meditation lowers stress levels. This in turn, helps lower your blood pressure. According to Yoga International, “Meditation is a precise technique for resting the mind and attaining a state of consciousness that is totally different from the normal waking state. It is the means for fathoming all the levels of ourselves and finally experiencing the center of consciousness within.”
