Yesterday while at work I was having a conversation with a friend of mine and he shared to me his worries and troubles which really touched me so much. As we conversed, I also happened to share my problems with him and he got shocked because mine were incomparable to his and so we consoled each other.  As we discussed further, another lady joined us and also shared her story with us. Funny enough, hers was so terrible compared to ours. But with the gaze at her angelic and adorable face and style we all couldn't believe that she was going through these at all. She was a bonny and strong belle. Well, I learnt something and got motivated in a certain way with our stories. We just see people waking up every day, walking down the streets, eating at fancy restaurants, having happy and smiling faces, smelling good, cruising posh cars, living in mansions, holding and putting on expensive things but they are going through a lot in their lives. There is pain behind their smile...

The Times of Israel is reporting that one David Shoshan has filed a restraining order against God for being negative towards him. The man was said to have told a court in Haifa on Tuesday, May 3, that God has been very negative towards him over the past three years, and has demanded that He (God) stops interfering in his life. In a response to the case, the court documents proved that since God did not present himself at the hearing, the case was thrown out by the judge. The complainant disclosed that he has tried countless times to obtain the restraining order through the police department, but did not succeed. Ahsan Canaan who presided over the case, threw out Shoshan’s request, calling it absurd and asked the complainant to get help from someone besides local law enforcement. This is really absurd and i wonder why he wasn't tested for drugs or sanity.

I asked a colleague of mine why she does not have facebook posts and she replied me, saying  "it's stressful."  In amazement, i just looked at her and wondered if she was okay. If you ask me a question like that, i will have a long list of answers to give you regarding my sources of stress. You might call her lazy but the truth is that everyone sees stress differently. There could be reasons for her answer; maybe because she has other engagements that keep her busy after our 12hour job that make her see logging into facebook and uploading...

She will spend a night in jail after her boyfriend, who tried to pay a $1000 bond for her release, was only carrying a Malaysian ID card and officers could not verify his identity, meaning they ha...

The sun will have a close encounter with the planet Mercury traveling across its face on May 9, 2016 in one of this year’s most awaited astronomical events. The transit of Mercury, as the event is called, occurs 13 times per century, the next one happening on November 11, 2019. After that, no transit will take place until November 13, 2032. Mercury’s orbit will bring it between the Earth and the sun, casting a small shadow across the solar face. A transit is only possible when Mercury, Earth and the sun are perfectly aligned in three-dimensional space. The transit will officially begin at 7:12 A.M. on May 9 and will take 7.5 hours for Mercury to complete its passage across the sun’s face. While this phenomenon takes place, it can be seen from nearly everywhere on Earth in the course of the day. With proper equipment, observers in parts of western Europe and Africa, eastern North America, and most of South America can watch the rare event. Photo of planet venus...

In a post in English on his Facebook page, the US billionaire and Facebook founder urged Brazilians to gather outside Congress in the capital Brasilia at 6 pm (2100 GMT) on Wednesday to rally in favour of legislation that would prevent Internet services from being blocked.

The reason for the order was not made public.

Earlier this year, a 10 year old boy who is not even old enough to sign up on Facebook, impressed Mark Zuckerberg by hacking Instagram, the photo-sharing application owned by Facebook. The Helsinki-based genius, called Jani, received $10,000 from Facebook for spotting a security bug. Jani uncovered a flaw that allowed him to delete any written content on the social media platform by altering the code. "I would have been able to eliminate anyone, even Justin Bieber," the boy boasted. As an aspiring security expert, Jani sent his discovery to Facebook via email and verified it by deleting a comment the company posted on a test account. The bug was resolved at the end of February. In March, the tech giant informed Jani of the fix and gave him his monetary reward. Jani plans to use the reward to buy a new bike, football gear, and new computers for his brothers, he said in the interview with Iltalehti. He topped a 13-year-old to become the youngest ever recipient o...

Considering the present circumstances as regards the price of petrol in Nigeria, the power outage in Choba community in Rivers state, Nigeria which has lasted for close to 2 months has caused its residents to worry. The power company which developed a habit of charging exorbitant bills disregarding the high rate of power outage have done nothing to remedy the situation. Though about 6 power transmission poles were destroyed during a heavy rainfall in the area, no work has been carried out as to fixing the problem.

Traders at Mbano Camp, Oyigbo local government area in Rivers state, Nigeria, have appealed to the government for road reconstruction. The road there has been in a terrible condition for years now and it seems like the government has not considered doing anything about it. These traders seized the opportunity during a press visit to the area to let out their woes as the road condition has affected and crippled their businesses since potential customers have no access to the area. We hope that the government will do something about it.

The Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL have now been updated with the latest version of the Windows 10 Mobile OS, and many new changes have been brought forward. Among these new changes, one of the most noticeable changes has been made to the camera. The users can now click photos in the HDR mode any time they want. This is a big deal as the HDR mode, in the past, was controlled by the discretion of the phone itself. It was based on the lighting conditions that the phone decided whether or not to use the HDR settings. However this power is now in the hands of the users, and the HDR photos can be clicked any time the users want after this new Windows 10 Mobile update. This will particularly help those who want to capture photos in the HDR mode in bright light conditions. Additionally, the Windows 10 Mobile update for the Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL devices also helps bring in another new update, where the users now get to experience a better battery life than ever before. This new upd...
