TechNews: Blackberry maker Research in Motion posts surprise profit

Mobile phone maker Blackberry says it has
sold one million of its new Z10 smartphones.
In better than expected results the company said it
made profits of $98m (£65m) in the quarter, after
posting a big loss for the same period last year.
The Z10 handset is seen as crucial to the future of
Blackberry, which has struggled to keep up with new
Apple and Android phones.
It has been on sale for a month in the UK, Canada and
other markets.
It went on sale with little fanfare a week ago in the
United States, Blackberry's most important
market. Blackberry reports 1m Z10 sales
The figures do not include US sales.
Blackberry was previously called Research In Motion,
but changed its name last year.
Analysts greeted the results cautiously, saying that it
was too early to judge the success of the Z10 and its
sister device the Q10.
Earlier in the week, Blackberry shares were hit when
two major US brokerages expressed disappointment
with the US launch of the Z10.
In a note to its clients Citigroup described the launch as "a big
disappointment".
The Blackberry results also showed the company lost
three million users over the year. Its handsets are
now used by 76 million people, down from 79 million
12 months ago.
In total, Blackberry said it shipped a total of around
six million handsets in the three months to early
March.

NewsMedia: Shell to Shut Down Major Pipeline in Nigeria

Shell Nigeria, one of the largest oil companies in the
Niger Delta, is planning to shut down one of the most
important pipelines in the country because of
'unprecedented' levels of oil theft this year.
Observers say repairing the damaged pipeline will
not fix the problem.
Shutting down a 150,000 barrel a day oil pipeline is a
big deal but Shell Petroleum Development Company
in Nigeria says it has no choice. It says it has to shut
down the Nembe Creek Trunkline, a major oil export
pipe, to repair holes drilled by oil thieves. Shell
declined to say when it expects the pipeline to re-
open.

NHL: Fish Oil in Health and Disease

It is clear that consuming a diet rich in oily fish or
alternatively, supplementing with capsules (omega-3 fatty acids) is one of
the most important steps one can take to ensure
vibrant and lasting health.
An extensive medical literature testifies to the fact that fish
oils/omega-3 fatty acids prevent and may help to ameliorate or reverse
atherosclerosis, angina, heart attack, congestive heart failure,
arrhythmias, stroke, and peripheral vascular disease. The components
within this supplement help maintain the elasticity of artery walls,
prevent blood clotting, reduce blood pressure and triglycerides,
stabilize heart rhythm and help combat inflammation. There is also
considerable evidence that fish oil consumption can reduce the risk of
breast and prostate cancer and help slow their progression. Daily
supplementation has been found effective in preventing the development
of colon cancer and has also been found to help combat depression.

L&S: Stress- The 21st Century Silent Killer

What is the
best way to reduce stress? Evaluate and identify the
things in your life that are causing it. The first step is
to modify your lifestyle so you can improve your
ability to handle stress. The three pillars of good
health include eating a healthy diet, participating in
a fitness program/be active in your lifestyle and
getting quality sleep. Proper nutrition is crucial to
keeping your body and hormones balanced.
Processed foods and excess chemicals will cause
blood sugar levels to fluctuate and cause the body to
secrete excess cortisol. Though a critical hormone,
cortisol also contributes to weight gain and weight
loss resistance. There is a large amount of dietary
supplements aimed at people with fatigue/stress.
You should not expect to fix the underlying problem
of physical, mental and chemical stress by taking
nutritional supplements alone. You would be wasting
your money without addressing and improving the
core pillars of how the body responds to stress
naturally. The main nutritional supplements that can
help adrenal fatigue are omega-3 fatty acids,
magnesium and vitamins A, B, C and D. They can
help to strengthen your system and improve your
overall health. Additional recommendations include
avoiding caffeine and sugar. These products are
commonly taken as a short-term boost of energy but
have been found to place unneeded stress on your
adrenal glands over time. Most of all, hormone
balance is critical to maintaining adrenal health.
Hormone problems are very common and get worse
as we age, go through menopause and never address
the underlying problems. One of the best ways to
maintain and balance hormones is exercise. A well-
known stress reducer and bodily detoxifier, exercise
has been found to be more effective than
antidepressants in improving mood. lifestyle
improvements are the key to improvement.

PLAN FOR CHANGE:
Make a plan for change and try not to stress
out about it. Poor lifestyle habits are generally
learned over years or decades and are commonly
influenced by one's family, community and culture.
One must systematically and consistently apply new
ways of thinking, acting and applying to achieve
healthier choices. The important message is that
regardless of your health condition, you can take
corrective steps to balance hormones, restore
energy, reduce body aches, suppress fatigue,
strengthen immunity and improve good quality of
sleep. Take responsibility, correct your course and
achieve results.

NewsMedia: NIGERIAN ARMY LAUNCH INFORMATION ALERT SYSTEM TO TACKLE TERROR

The Nigerian Army has launched an online
information system that will track and tackle terrorist
threat in the country within fifteen minutes. The
information processing system commissioned on
Wednesday by the Chief of Transformation and
Innovation, Major General Ibrahim Sani, will alert a
network of security agencies nationwide of any
terrorist activity reported by any Nigerian via email
or text message. Major General Sani explained that
information on the network system cannot be
compromised and will respond confidentially to all
distress and emergency calls. The Nigerian Army
Information Processing System can reached via the
following email addresses:

Nigerianarmytips@
yahoo.com
Nigerianarmytips@gmail.com
SMS can
also be sent to the following dedicated
numbers:
08160030300, 07053331230, 8181555888

Many have questioned the inability of the
government to adequately tackle the increasing
threat by members of Boko Haram and other
widespread security concerns. But the Nigerian Army
has risen to the challenge with the use of information
technology to address the issue using information
processing system. The system is designed to
speedily alert the Police, the State Security Service
(SSS) and other security agencies of any terrorist
action observed in any part of the country. Major
General Sani maintained that basic training of skilled
operators on the system has already begun, adding
that issues of power failure or hacking into the
network will not be a challenge as the system will be
powered by an inverter and managed by
professionals. The Information Processing
System,according to the army, also allows
communication in local languages as long as the
information is clearly described using the right
medium.

EN: Lil Wayne's Seizure Was Caused By Epilepsy Not Sizzurp

Lil Wayne has disclosed the cause of seizures that
recently put him in the hospital, and they have
nothing to do with sizzurp, he says: He has epilepsy.
"The bad news is I'm an epileptic, I'm prone to
seizures," Wayne said yesterday when he called in to
Los Angeles radio station Power 106 for his first
interview since he was hospitalized earlier this
month. "Like, this isn't my first, second, third, fourth,
fifth, sixth, seventh seizure. I've had a bunch of
seizures, y'all just never hear about them. But this
time it got real bad 'cause I had three of them in a
row and on the third one, my heart rate went down to
like 30 percent. Basically, I could've died, so that is
why it was so serious. But the reason being for the
seizures is just plain stress, no rest, overworking
myself."
The rapper, who was home from the hospital in time
for the release this week of his latest album, I Am Not
a Human Being II, said he has seizures often enough
that the people around him are experienced in
dealing with them when they occur.
"They already know how to handle it," he said.
"Certain times I don't even go to the hospital, but
this time, it was real bad because, like I said, it was
three in a row, and I've never had three back to back
like that."

TechNews: 3D Ear Canal Scanner Depicts the Inside of the Skull

Lantos Technologies has introduced the first FDA-
approved 3D ear canal scanner, which will enable
audiologists to measure their patients' ears for
better-fitting hearing aids. The 3D ear scanning
system can quickly and accurately map out the
inside of the ear, streamlining the process of
obtaining ear topology measurements for custom-fit
in-ear devices.
It is composed of a portable handheld scanner with a
video otoscope for visualization and navigation of the
ear canal. Images are captured and a 3D scan of the
ear is generated using state-of-the-art optics and
stitching algorithms in under a minute.
This technology would replace the current time-
consuming process, whereby audiologists generate
an impression of the patient's ear using a resin-
based substance. This messy substance is injected
into the ear canal where it solidifies. The removal of
the mold can be uncomfortable and may also cause
distortion of the impression's shape.
The 3D ear scanning system, which will be
commercially available later this year, was developed
and tested in collaboration with audiologists and
hearing device manufacturers. It is expected to drive
innovation in the hearing aid, consumer audio,
industrial noise protection, military, and
communication markets.

TechNews: FCC confident in its mobile phone radiation limits, seeks second opinions

Cast your memory back to last summer. Sweep away
memories of iPhone 5 leaks galore, and you might
remember that the US Government Accountability
Office (GAO) asked the FCC to reevaluate its radiation limits for
mobile phones. Now a few
seasons later, the FCC has finally wrapped up a
re port that responds to the GAO, and there are no
changes to its RF radiation levels in sight because it feels
comfortable with its current caps. "We continue
to have confidence in the current exposure limits,
and note that more recent international standards
have a similar basis," reads the report.
However,
given that its guidelines were adopted in 1996, new
research on radiation and the proliferation of mobile
devices, the FCC would like some feedback regarding
its restrictions. It's put out a call for comments from
concerned parties and even federal health and safety
bodies.
Though the freshly-released document didn't rock
the proverbial boat, it made one change worth
noting. The pinna (outer ear) is now classified an
extremity, which means the FCC allows devices to hit
the tissue with more radiation.

CBN Cancels N100 Monthly ATM MaintenanceFee...

The Central Bank of Nigeria on Thursday announced
the cancellation of the N100 monthly Automatic
Teller Machine card maintenance fee introduced by
some banks recently and which generated public
condemnation.
The CBN in a circular titled, 'Revised guide to bank
charges,' posted on its website, however, pegged the
maintenance fee at N100 annually.
Also affected is the mandatory cost of Short Message
Service alert which has been pegged at N4 subject to
the Nigerian Communication Commission's
directives.
The circular, which takes effect from April 1, read, "In
order to reflect current developments in the market
and provide clarity on banking terms, the CBN
recently conducted a review of the guide in
consultation with all the banks and discount houses,
Bankers' Committee, financial experts and also
considered inputs received from other stakeholders
to produce the revised guide to bank charges."
On electronic transfer, the bank said N70 would be
charged on transactions below N500,000 while N100
should be charged on transactions between
N500,000 and N1m. Transactions above N1m will
attract a charge of N500.
It said issuing fee of a debit card should exceed
N1,000, while international withdrawals per
transaction on debit cards should be charged at
N240 rather than N1,000 being currently charged by
almost all the banks.
The CBN pegged the interest on savings deposit
accounts at a minimum of 30 per cent of the
Monetary Policy Rate per annum.
It would be recalled that following the Bankers'
Committee meeting in November 2012 which
scrapped the N100 interbank charge on the use of
ATM cards, some banks went ahead to introduce the
N100 monthly maintenance fee on ATM cards.

Benitez blames Chelsea woes on blogger

Chelsea interim boss Rafael Benitez believes his
troubled reign as Stamford Bridge chief has been
undermined by the interference of a solitary teenage
blogger hailing from the Czech Republic.
Benitez is convinced the fabricated quotes suggesting he would 'never
take the Chelsea job out of respect for my former club at Liverpool'
have haunted him from the moment he agreed to succeed Roberto Di
Matteo as Blues boss.
Now Benitez has insisted he never made the comments after again
suggesting he was never given a fair chance to prove his worth by
Chelsea supporters who have had an agenda against him from the moment
he was hired by the club.
"You can have one person in the Czech Republic,
making up a quote and saying 'Rafa said this', and then it's repeated
over and again," Benitez told the Daily Mirror. "It becomes 'the
truth', even though it's not true and it was not true.
"The trouble is you cannot change the perception now of people who are
on another continent and read on Twitter the opinion of someone else,
who has a blog and wants to write something not true. It's impossible.
"All I could do was concentrate on the things I do well, the things
that have made me successful. I have done that.
"I try to have the vision of the big picture. If I'm here,
it's because I was successful. I have won all the
trophies you can win at club level, in different countries and different teams.
"I know my ability and skill, but you cannot change
things now, in this society, especially with Twitter and Facebook -
they go so fast."
Benitez claims to have received plenty of positive
support from Chelsea fans despite the perception that he is
unanimously disliked by the Stamford Bridge faithful and hopes his
legacy at the club will one day be remembered fondly.
"I have received a lot of messages and emails here at
the club," he added. "Fans said; 'You are doing a good job, carry on.
We understand the situation. Don't be worried because we are Chelsea
fans and can see what you are trying to do.'
"I think we are doing a great job. Why? Because you
can see the team has more balance, has a lot of young players who are
learning and progressing in a
transitional period.
"We are pleased with the evolution of the team, but you want to win
and finish in the top four to confirm all these things. If we can add
a good position in the
Premier League and two trophies, it will be much
better."

The Essence Of Celebrating Good Friday

Why Good Friday is observed.

Good Friday is observed during the Holy Week on the Friday preceding
the Easter Sunday. For Christians, unlike Christmas, Good Friday is a
day of mourning.
According to the Canonical gospel, Jesus Christ was crucified on this
Friday after much torment and sufferings which eventually lead to his
death. So, they lament on the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ
which they believe is of great essence as it brought salvation to the
human race.
This year, Good Friday 2013 will be observed on Friday, March 29.
People will gather at the churches and attend mass, sing Good Friday
songs, read passages from the holy Bible to mark the significance of
Good Friday. Every year on this day, devotees in black clothes
assemble at the church and take out processions of Jesus' idol. A
ritual burial is also carried out.
Statues and pictures of Jesus at churches are covered in black clothes
to mourn the day. At the mass prayers, priest read Good Friday sermons
from the Bible and remember Jesus. Many people at the end of the day
or procession spend sometime to meditate and chant prayers silently.
Moreover, many devotional followers of Christ abstain from having meat
or wine, and if possible keep a fast.
Churches also encourage people to become actively involved in
philanthropic activities for the well being of the society.
Celebration of Good Friday is observed across the world including
India where a majority of Christian population resides.

Jonathan Nominates Akinkuotu As Demuren’s Replacement

President Goodluck Jonathan has nominated a replacement for Harold Demuren, the Director General of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) who was sacked days ago. The nomination was contained in a letter to the Senate, in which the President asked that the nomination of  Mr Fola Akinkuotu, the Rector of the College of Aviation, Ilorin, Kwara State be approved to fill the vacant position of the DG of the NCAA.

Demuren was sacked on Monday, March 11 as a result of concerns from stakeholders in the Aviation sector.
 
Following the Dana Air crash in June last year, the National Assembly had launched into a probe of the aviation sector.

The investigation by both chambers of parliament had unearthed the rot in the sector and blamed Mr Demuren for turning a blind eye to the underhand dealings in the sector and compromising safety.

This led to the insistence by the House of Representatives for his sack.
The Senate had also confirmed the reappointment of Suleiman Barau as the Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria.

Smoking Weed: Ghana Police Investigate on Chris Brown

Chris Brown is under police investigation for smoking WEED while performing in Ghana Wednesday, detailed a statement released by Ghana law enforcement Monday, according to Ghana Web.
"Police have commenced investigation into the formal complaint of Indian hemp smoking made by the CEO of POS Foundation, Mr. Jonathan Osei- Wusu on 6th March 2013 at the Ministries Police station against the popular American RnB artist Chris Brown," the statement read.
"The American RnB star," the police noted, "is alleged to have smoked Indian hemp while performing on stage at the Accra Sports Stadium in the early hours of Wednesday 6th March 2013."
Ghana's Section 5 of narcotic drugs [Control Enforcement and Sanctions] Act, 1990 stipulates that 'a person shall not, without lawful authority or excuse, smoke, sniff, consume, inject into the body or otherwise administer a narcotic drug on the body of that person.'"
"Half way through his impressive 90 minutes performance, which saw him use excessive vulgar language, at the Hope City Concert at the Accra Sports Stadium" said Ernest Dela Aglanu, a source for dailypress.com, "Chris Brown quizzed the over a thousand crowd, 'How many of yall smoke weed?'
After that question, the singer stated: 'If anybody tripping on ya'll smoking weed, f— them.'
'S—, I got my blunt right here' he added and pulled out a neatly rolled stick of kush," proceeding to smoke the narcotic on stage.
However, the Executive Director of Charter House, Theresa Ayowade, denied the allegations and described the offense as "an act from a song":
"Chris Brown did a series of acts on stage and this act in question which you are talking about is an act from a song; an act about a dual personality; should I do this or should I not? He did not smoke on stage. It was a cigar that he did a demo with."

Governor Akpabio Defends His Wedding Gift To 2face:"I Did It For Annie"

Governor of Akwa Ibom, Dr. Godswill Akpabio has defended his controversial wedding gifts to Tuface Idibia and his wife, saying the gifts were "only a gesture of love and goodwill" to commend the wife for standing by her husband from his days of humble beginnings.

The governor however denied the speculated amount of gifts stating that only members of Mrs Idibia's family will be sponsored to the couples wedding in Dubai and not members of the government.
The governor, who hosted a lavish traditional engagement ceremony for the celebrity couple in Eket, was reported to have declared a gift of two brand new Toyota Prado SUVs for the couple and also vowed to sponsor 29 people to their forthcoming nuptial in Dubai.
The state's Commissioner for Information, Aniekan Umana, on Thursday, via a phone conversation that the state governor decided to "assist Annie Idibia so that her family members and close friends who are citizens of Akwa Ibom, who cannot afford the trip will be with her on her wedding day."
"I wonder why they (mischief makers) like taking on Governor Akpabio. Is it because he is a nice man" Mr Umana asked.

A statement by the Commissioner on Wednesday stated that the Governor only approved a car, and not two, for the couple.
He also said he only promised to sponsor 20, and not 29, wedding guests to Dubai for the couple's white wedding.
The statement explained that state government is "only sponsoring the travel expenses of twenty of her family members at an estimated cost of roughly Three Million Naira (N3,000,000.00) only."
The statement reads as follows: "following spurious and false speculations in the social media concerning the wedding gift by Governor Godswill Akpabio to Mrs. Annie Innocent Idibia, née Macaulay, I wish to state as follows:
"That the Governor of Akwa Ibom State Chief Godswill Akpabio, donated ONE Prado jeep to Mrs. Annie Innocent Idibia, nee Macaulay a daughter of Akwa Ibom State and renowned artist during her traditional marriage at Eket."
"That the State Governor as a token of support for the couple promised to fund the traveling expenses (economy return tickets) for ONLY TWENTY relatives of Mrs. Annie Idibia Macaulay to Dubai, where the couple have chosen to wed."
