5 reasons to upgrade to Windows 8.1
The
Windows 8.1 preview is here, giving us a first-hand glimpse at the fruits of Microsoft’s newfound rapid-release religion. Remolding an
operating system in eight scant months is a tall task indeed, and while Windows 8.1 is still far from perfect, Microsoft managed to
craft a fairly capable reimagining of its new-look OS in the short time since
Windows 8 debuted last October.

INTERNET TECHNOLOGY BASICS
How does the Internet Works?
The internet is a worldwide
collection of computer networks, cooperating with other to exchange data using
a common software standard. Through telephone wires and satellite links,
internet users can share information in a variety of forms. The size, scope and
design of the internet allow users to:
- Connect easily through ordinary personal computers and local phone numbers;
- Exchange electronic mail (E-mail) with friends and colleagues with accounts on the internet;
- Post information for others to access, and update it frequently;
- Access multimedia information that includes sound, photographic images and even video; and
- Access diverse perspectives from around the world.
An additional attribute of the
internet is the\at it lacks a central authority – in other words, there is no
“internet, Inc.” that controls the internet. Beyond the various governing
boards that works to establish policies and standards, the internet is bound by
few rules and answers to no single organization.

IBB To Expose Buhari Over Missing $2.8B Oil Money
A
complex situation that may be too hot to handle may soon erupt between
two former heads of states, General Buhari and General Babangida over
political differences.
Babagida has threatened to bring up an issue that seems likely to create conflicts if not quenched now.
“On Gen. Buhari, it is not in IBB’s tradition to take up issues with his colleague former President. But for the purpose of record, we are conversant with Gen. Buhari’s so-called holier-than-thou attitude.

This was even as residents of Adeniji Adele on Lagos Island decried the increase in crime rate in the area. They lamented that the various state government gardens had been taken over by the hoodlums, snatching cell phones and handbags from unsuspecting passersby.
6 questions to ask yourself before ending your marriage
One
of most tortuous parts of a failing marriage is the wondering: Are
things going to get better? Worse? Are they going to stay the same?
1. Do I Have A Hard Or A Soft Problem?
If you have what marital therapists call a “hard” problem, for example, your spouse is abusing you or has untreated addictions, says William Doherty, PhD, lead researcher on the Minnesota Couples on the Brink Project at the University of Minnesota, then you need to get out the situation immediately. But let’s say you’re like most people in a tough relationship, and, on thinking about ending things find yourself saying things such as, “We’ve grown apart,” or “We’re just not in love anymore.” That’s code , says Doherty, for another, unrecognized problem. Are you lonely or feeling isolated? Do you feel disliked, criticized or ignored? If you don’t know the specifics of what’s making you unhappy, it’s pretty hard to figure out the specifics of what will make you happy — whether these things have to do with your current partner or anybody else.

How To Make Your Phone Untappable
In 1991, Philip Zimmermann developed a humble-sounding electronic
encryption technology known as Pretty Good Privacy. In fact, it was very
good–so good that not even the federal government has been able to
crack it, a fact that has made Zimmermann a folk hero to privacy
advocates and a headache to law enforcement.
Now Zimmermann, a fellow at Stanford Law School’s Center for Internet and Society, has found himself back in the fiery debate between federal investigators and those who oppose their snooping–this time thanks to ZRTP, a technology for encrypting Internet telephone calls. ZRTP throws a wrench in the Bush administration’s controversial warrant-free wiretapping program and its proposed legal immunity for the telecommunications companies. So far, not even teams of supercomputers and cyberspies at the National Security Agency have cracked ZRTP. That means anyone who uses Zimmermann’s Zfone software, a ZRTP-enabled voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) program available for free on his Web site, can skirt the feds’ wiretapping altogether.

Google Balloon Project Gets Off The Ground
Google has unveiled plans to provide the internet to
the billions who cannot currently access the web - using balloons
circling the globe.
Scientists launched a trial on Saturday in New Zealand's South Island, letting off a string of jellyfish-shaped balloons in the sky about Lake Tekapo.
The aim is for the flimsy helium-filled inflatables, which are made from plastic film, to beam the internet back down to earth as they sail past on the wind.

Daughter Beheads Father For Raping Her
Papua New Guinea -- A teenage girl chopped her father's head
clean off with a bush knife after he raped her in their home in the
highlands of Papua New Guinea. Now residents of the village have formed a
protective ring around the 18-year-old, refusing to hand her over to
the police because they agreed her 'evil' father deserved to die.
A local church leader, Pastor Lucas Kumi from the village of Rang in the Western Highlands, said the entire community would refuse to allow the girl to be subjected to any official investigation.
'The people and leaders in our area went and saw the headless body of the father after the girl reported the incident to them and explained why she had killed her father,' said Pastor Kumi.
He said the father, in his mid-40s, raped his daughter when they were alone in their house after the mother and two other children from the family went to visit relatives for the night.
'The father went to his daughter's room in the night and raped her repeatedly. The father wanted to rape his daughter again in the morning and that was when the young girl picked up the bush knife and chopped her father's head off,' said Pastor Kumi. 'We've all agreed that she is free to stay in the community because the father deserved to die. The daughter did what she did because of the trauma and the evil actions of her father, so that is why we have all agreed that she remains in the community.'
He said a ring of protection had been placed around the girl, who will be kept away from any official investigation.
'The community have also agreed not to conduct any formal burial service for the father.'
Crimes of rape, murder, suspected witch killings and prostitution are rife throughout Papua New Guinea and as a desperate attempt to stop the lawlessness the government recently re-introduced the death penalty for serious offences.
But at the weekend a local newspaper reported the results of an investigation into child prostitution, a report, it said, that will 'make you cringe.'
Children aged between 13 and 16, said the paper, were selling sex in the nightclubs of the capital, Port Moresby, five premises being reported to be engaged in the under-age prostitution trade. Three non-government organisations have produced a report based on interviews with no less than 175 child sex workers.
'It's true - our girls, and especial school girls, are being bought and sold for sex,' said one of the investigators.

Bible-Burning Cleric Jailed For 11 Years
A hard-line Muslim cleric received an
11-year suspended sentence today for tearing up and burning a Bible,
Egypt's official news agency said.
Cairo's
Nasr City court sentenced Ahmed Abdullah and his son was given a
suspended sentence of eight years over the same incident, the Middle
East News Agency reported.
The two were ordered to pay a fine of 5,000 Egyptian pounds. The ruling can be appealed against.
Abdullah ripped up a Bible and burned it during a September 11 rally by ultraconservative Salafi Muslims in front of the US Embassy in Cairo, protesting against an anti-Islam film produced in the United States.
It was a rare prosecution over attacks on faiths other than Islam. Over the past two years, attacks by extremist Muslims against followers of other religions, mostly Christians, have been on the increase.
According to Egyptian law, showing contempt toward Christianity, Islam and Judaism known as "heavenly" religions is a crime. Lawyers and rights groups complain the definition of contempt of religion is vague and has been used most often against critics of Islam.

China Builds World's Fastest Supercomputer
China has built the world's fastest
supercomputer, almost twice as fast as the previous US holder and
underlining the country's rise as a science and technology powerhouse.
The semiannual TOP500 official listing of the world's fastest supercomputers released Monday says the Tianhe-2 developed by the National University of Defense Technology in central China's Changsha city is capable of sustained computing of 33.86 petaflops per second.
That's the equivalent of 33,860 trillion calculations per second. The Tianhe-2, which means Milky Way-2, knocks the US Department of Energy's Titan machine off the №1 spot. It achieved 17.59 petaflops per second.
Supercomputers are used for complex work such as modeling weather systems, simulating nuclear explosions and designing jetliners.
It's the second time China has been named as having built the world's fastest supercomputer.
In November 2010, the Tianhe-2's predecessor, Tianhe-1A, had that honour before Japan's K computer overtook it a few months later.
The Tianhe-2's achievement shows how China is leveraging rapid economic growth and sharp increases in research spending to join the United States, Europe and Japan in the global technology elite.
"Most of the features of the system were developed in China, and they are only using Intel for the main compute part," said TOP500 editor Jack Dongarra in a news release accompanying the announcement.
"That is, the interconnect, operating system, front-end processors and software are mainly Chinese," said Mr Dongarra, who toured the Tianhe-2 development facility in May.

'Pregnant' Teen Boys Ads Aimed to Stop Unwanted Pregnancies
Chicago, U.S. -- When you first see Chicago's new teen pregnancy campaign, you will probably have to do a double take. The ad boasts a shirtless teenage boy sporting a baby bump with the tag line: "Unexpected? Most teen pregnancies are. Avoid unplanned pregnancies and STIs. Use condoms. Or wait."
Man With the Longest Mustache in the World
Ram Singh Chauhan of India is the
proud owner of the world's longest moustache, officially recorded by
Guinness World Records as 4.29m (14ft) long. But what is the secret of
his success? Here he offers five tips.
1. Start growing early - as soon as you can. Chauhan, now 54, started growing his moustache in 1970 - facial hair grows fastest in one's youth, he says. "As you grow old your hormones grow weak, so the speed slows down."
And, of course, he has never cut it, "apart from trimming around the lip area".
2. Groom it well. Chauhan spends an hour every day cleaning and combing his moustache. "I massage it and oil it regularly and I wash it every 10 days which takes a long time," he says. "My wife helps me." He uses a coconut-based hair oil.
3. Get your family on your side. Chauhan's wife Asha says they used to fight over his moustache in the early years. "He used to take a long time to get ready, to wash and also people used to stare at him," she says.
She didn't feel comfortable. But later, as he started getting recognition for his long moustache, she started to like it and to respect his commitment. Now, she says, the moustache is like a part of the family and she shares his pride in it.
Chauhan wraps his moustache in cloths matched to his outfits. Sleeping can be uncomfortable but he says there's no gain without pain and he wouldn't want it any other way. "I am special with my moustache, and I have never dreamt of being without it."
4. Don't be a slave to fashion. When he was younger, Chauhan says, moustaches were very much in vogue in his home country. He earned a lot of respect from fellow students at college, but finds the youth of today have little interest in facial hair. "My own son doesn't have one," he says regretfully.
But in the UK, the Handlebar Club says it has noticed a resurgence in bewhiskered men. The popularity of Movember, which last year inspired more than 850,000 men in 14 countries to grow a moustache, is definitely a factor, says Parsons.
"We used to attract the older gentlemen but recently our membership has got younger. At our last AGM we had lots of men in their 20s and 30s."

Gunfight Between JTF and Boko Haram In Yobe
Residents of Damaturu, the Yobe state
capital, have reported about a gun battle between security forces and
members of the Boko Haram, which lasted for over 5 hours on Sunday
night.
The relative peace which currently being enjoyed in Damaturu, the Yobe state capital, suffered a setback as sound of gunshots were heard throughout the night.
Sporadic gunshots were heard within the Damaturu metropolis around 9pm and lasted for over five hours.
Although an official statement is still being expected from either the Joint Task Force (JTF) or the police on the cause of the gunshots, residents believe it was a clash between security forces and the radical Islamic sect, the Boko Haram.
Yobe State government had four days ago reviewed the restriction of movement from 9pm to 6am in Damaturu, while curfew in other towns remained 6pm to 6am daily.
The last time gunshots were heard in Damaturu was 9 months ago when a field commander of the radical sect; Bakaka was killed in a gun duel with JTF at Khandahar area of Damaturu.

Scrabble app changes anger players on Facebook
Thousands of players have taken to Facebook to complain about changes made to a popular mobile Scrabble app.
The changes have been made by Electronic Arts (EA), which took over the running of the app from Scrabble brand owner Mattel at the end of May.
Players are angry that their player histories have been wiped, the dictionary has changed and the board no longer refreshes itself after a turn.
Mattel apologised but added that the update had also attracted new players.
The firm said new features included the ability to play the game in six languages, customise the board, and pay for an ad-free version.
The game also uses the Collins dictionary rather than the traditional Chambers edition.
The app's official page on Facebook has more than 3.6m "likes" but most of these were amassed before the update and almost all of the recent comments are from players asking for the old version to be returned.
A Facebook group set up by players called "please bring back the Scrabble we love" has more than 2,000 members.
Day Achebe Cried Over 'Things Fall Apart'
There is a Things Fall Apart movie after all,
and it is made in Hollywood. Segun Oyekunle is one of the few people
who saw it, as a film student in the US, and he understood why the late
Chinua Achebe wept over the movie. In this piece, he recounts seeing
Achebe weep over the movie and why the movie has not been released.
I have read almost every encomium on Prof. Chinua Achebe, and I don't think it can ever be enough to add another. In fact, I feel I must add this one because none has mentioned the man's desire to shoot his works in film, which was totally aborted by the debacle that was 'Things Fall Apart' the film, variously called 'Bullfrog in the Sun'.

Catholic Church Oppose Use Of Condom
The Catholic church says it opposes
artificial family planning techniques, because it encourages
bastardisation of sexual activities by young people and “impedes normal
procreation.”
The Secretary-General of the Catholic Secretariat of Nigeria, Rev. Fr. Ralph Madu, made this clarification in a response to an enquiry by The PUNCH on Sunday.
He said, “The Catholic Church believes that modern means, including the use of condoms is morally bad because it impedes normal procreation. You can meet with your wife when you do not want children and those periods when the woman is not fertile instead of having to destroy the sperm and all other forms of artificial prevention.

FG Considers Strong Anti-Smoking Laws
Nigeria is set to roll out firmer laws against smoking to guard against diseases related to tobacco consumption, Health Minister Onyebuchi Chukwu announced, saying the current anti-smoking legislation in the country is weak.
"We are bringing out a very strong law," Onyebuchi said of forthcoming anti-smoking legislation. "What was there wasn't strong enough."
Speaking in Abuja at the 2013 ministerial platform, where ministries deliver mid-term reports from their sectors, the minister said weak anti-smoking laws and tobacco consumption exposed many to diseases such as bronchitis, ulcers, cancers and possible death.
Chukwu said considering health dangers posed by tobacco; stronger anti-smoking laws would leave no options. "If you don't like it, go to a country where you can smoke yourself to death," he said.
Noting achievements in the health sector, minister of state for health Muhammad Pate, observed 47% reduction in maternal mortality--from 789 deaths per 100,000 in 2009 to 369 in 2013. In all, Pate remarked, interventions up till now have saved more than 200,000 lives of women and children alone.

Jonathan/Amaechi Faceoff: Dame Patience Relocates To Port Harcourt
The alleged move by the Presidency to remove the Rivers State
Governor Rotimi Amaechi took a dramatic turn yesterday as the first
lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, has decided to take the bull by the horn
in the matter.
LEADERSHIP
Sunday gathered that the first lady’s visit to Port Harcourt was a move
to ensure that the State House of Assembly members are mobilised to

MTN Nigeria Discontinues SIM Swap By Proxy
The Corporate Services Executive of
MTN Nigeria, Akinwale Goodluck, has announced the decision of the
company to discontinue SIM swaps by proxy with effect from June 7.
Mr. Goodluck said this in a statement on Thursday in Lagos. He said that after June 7, customers who wished to swap or replace their SIM cards as a result of their phones being stolen, destroyed or misplaced must do so in person. According to him, the decision was taken in order to protect customers’ data and preserve the overall integrity of the SIM swap process.
“In
recent months, unscrupulous elements have started to exploit the proxy SIM swap process and there have been incidents of unauthorised people fraudulently obtaining SIM cards belonging to others. “The implication of this decision is that customers will now have to appear in person at the service outlets nearest to them to request and obtain new SIM cards.
“Such requests will be treated promptly after proper ID validation from the SIM registration database and upon presentation of valid identification such as ID card, international passport or driver’s licence,” he said.

Messi Could Be Jailed For Four Years
Lionel Messi, the Barcelona star
footballer and his father are accused of scamming $5.3 million in taxes
from Spanish authorities. Along with his father, Jorge Horacio Messi,
the high income player is accused of fraudulent tax returns for 2007,
2008 and 2009.
It’s clear this won’t be a simple case. A judge must accept the prosecutor’s lawsuit before any charges could be brought.
This is bad press for the World Star player but centers on companies and endorsement deals. Tax advisers can be expected to contend that this is no more than tax planning, not unlike aggressive football play.
According to Forbes, Messi earns $41.3 million per year, making him the 10th highest-paid athlete in the world. But not all of it is for actual play.
He is said to collect $21 million from endorsement deals, including Adidas. He makes about $20 million from Barcelona. Only David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo had higher earnings from soccer. In a statement released via his Facebook page, Messi said:

Drink This To Get Bigger Muscles And Have Better Sex
According to The Journal of Physiology, 75 per
cent of your body is made up of water. Not surprisingly, dehydration
will make your life exhausting because you are depriving yourself of
nutrients.
And, more often than not, because thirst is a poor indication of dehydration, we often don’t realise we’re not drinking enough fluids until it’s a little too late.
Most people don’t realise it, but they do not have a sufficient intake of fluids during the day. While eight glasses of water per day is a reliable guide, factors such as air-conditioning, diet and physical activity levels all influence the amount of fluids one needs to drink.
Here are reasons why you should drink more water;

Notorious Fraudster, Fred Ajudua Sent To Prison
A Lagos High Court sitting in Ikeja
Tuesday ordered that notorious fraudster Fred Ajudua be remanded in
Kirikiri Prisons over a fraud charge filed against him since 2003.
Fred Ajudua has been standing trial before the court over allegations of fraud to the tune of over $1.5 billion but has refused to attend the trial since four years ago after being granted bail by the trial judge, Justice Olubunmi Oyewole.
The judge issued a warrant for his arrest since then but police authorities have not been able to produce him in court since then prompting an unending adjournments in the matter.
Fred Ajudu however appeared in court Tuesday with a request for bail since the court had revoked the earlier one he was granted. Justice Oyewole, however, turned down the hearing of the request and instead made an order that he should be remanded in prison custody pending the hearing of the bail application.
Making the order, the judge said: “The first defendant ceased to be on bail since December 15, 2006 when his bail was revoked.
The case has been held up as the agents of the Federal Government of Nigeria have been unable to execute the warrant of arrest issued on January 24, 2005.
“The first defendant is hereby ordered to be remanded in prison.

10 Marriage Rules
Still making the kids' lunches
every day because you think you "have to?" You may not realize it, but
that behavior could be springing from an outdated belief that it's
somehow "your job." Although rigid roles can make things more
streamlined, they can also be limiting. So give up that - and these
other 10 things - for a happier and less stressful union. By Jane Bianchi, REDBOOK.
1. Once you're married, you can't have a life of your own
"A wife used to be encouraged to tend to her husband's and children's needs first. But if you do that, you'll become resentful," says Dan Beaver, a marriage and family therapist in Walnut Creek, CA. Then your frustration may manifest itself in different ways, like getting depressed, snapping at people, or smoking or drinking too much. So forget about that old-school rule, and do something every day that makes you feel happy, relaxed and/or fulfilled, whether that's seeing an author speak at your local bookstore, taking a few minutes to practice a morning meditation, or going on a green juice run sans kids. "You have to care for yourself before you can care for others," says Beaver.
2. Pouting is an effective way to make your point
In the past, married men and women often fell into their defined roles, rarely stopping to reveal their true emotions if something was starting to feel "off" for fear that their partner might not understand, or worse, would reject them for it. But now all that is changing. "I try to help couples express themselves, even if they're worried that they'll appear too vulnerable," says Cheryl Gerson, LCSW, a couples therapist in New York City. In other words, if you're scared, say that out loud to your partner. You don't have to be tough and brave all the time. "You're human. Contrary to what you may think, admitting your fears and doubts will actually bring you and your partner closer," says Gerson.

3 Cancer Scares that You Need to Know About
.We've
all encountered cancer in some way: Whether we've lost a loved one or
have battled it ourselves, the big C looms all around us. And, sometimes

Oral Sex, HPV, and Throat Cancer
By now, we've all heard about Michael Douglas blaming his throat cancer on cunnilingus. We love safe sex, and think the more it's discussed, the better, but we were also suspicious. After all, if the link between oral sex, HPV (human papilloma virus), and throat cancer is so concrete, why is it that so few people know about it? And what's up with blaming cunnilingus, of all things? Honestly, the last thing we want is for female pleasure to get yet another stigma.
