Russia unveils its new cockroach spy robot

The miniature surveillance robot looks just like a cockroach and can be used to spy on enemy activities.

Researchers have previously experimented with the idea of controlling insects using electrodes implanted in their brains, but now scientists in Russia have come up with a unique approach that enables the same type of functionality but without having to involve any live specimens.

Volkswagen finds itself in a snootful of trouble early this week. Last Friday, the EPA revealed that the company will be instructed to recall nearly 500,000 vehicles and face a potential $18 billion in fines. And VW shares plummeted by more than 20 percent—eviscerating $16.9 billion of market value—at European markets' close Monday after the company instructed US dealers to stop selling several 2015 diesel models.

FALAE’S ABDUCTION: You’re a joker, M.I Abaga tells Fani-Kayode

By Ikenna Asomba
Chocolate City rapper, Jude Abaga popularly called (M.I), yesterday, took a swipe at erstwhile Minister of Aviation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, over his statement that should anything happen to the abducted former Secretary to Government of the Federation (SGF), and Afenifere chieftain, Chief Olu Falae, the Federal Government will be held responsible and there will be consequences.

Afreximbank swears in Oramah as new president

BusinessDay|Editor

Nigerian banker Dr Benedict Oramah on Monday in Cairo took over the leadership of the African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) as the third president of the continental trade finance institution.
The colourful ceremony was presided over by Alexander Chikwanda, Minister of Finance of Zambia and Chairman of the General Meeting of Shareholders of the bank.
Oramah takes over from Jean-Louis Ekra, who has led the institution since 2005.
Ekra replaced Christopher Edordu, the pioneer president, who served terms starting with the bank’s creation in 1993.

In a speech setting out his vision for the bank, Oramah pledged to make the promotion and facilitation of intra-African trade the cornerstone of Afreximbank’s work in the years ahead.
“I believe that intra-African trade holds the key to a technology-driven growth on our continent. The trade will facilitate the attainment of dynamic comparative advantage in the production and export of certain kind of manufactured goods and services and will prepare African firms for better global competition,” Oramah said.

Lagos gridlock will ease in 48 hours – Truck owners

Lagos gridlock will ease in 48 hours – Truck owners

BusinessDay|Editor

The National President of the Association of Maritime Truck Owners, Mr Remi Ogungbemi, on Monday assured that the gridlock in the Lagos metropolis would clear within the next 48 hours.
Ogugbemi gave the assurance while speaking on the latest gridlock locking down Nigeria’s economic capital.
He said that various stakeholders had been working tirelessly with the Nigerian Customs Service to clear backlog of trucks in at the ports to allow vehicles to manuevre.
“Since the Lagos State Government relaxed the restriction of trucks to start moving in the day, accessing the ports had been difficult, due to trucks trapped by the law.
“Trucks in the port have to go out for incoming ones, the Nigeria Customs Service have to clear the ones in the ports, hence the backlogs that locked down Lagos.
“I hope it will get better within 48 hours as stakeholders are working tirelessly to ensure free flow of traffic and we are sorry for the inconveniences,” he said.

CIA, FBI And Much Of US Military Aren't Doing The Most Basic Things To Encrypt Email

 

Techdirt|Mike Masnick

 

It's no secret that FBI Director James Comey is somewhat clueless about encryption -- to the point that he doesn't even realize that stronger encryption will actually better protect Americans. But it seems to go beyond that. Apparently he's so clueless about encryption that he doesn't realize that it will help protect FBI agents. Lorenzo Franceschi-Bicchierai has a great story over at Vice Motherboard concerning key parts of our government that should understand the importance of keeping emails secret, that have failed to take the most basic steps in securing email communications. And the FBI is one of the agencies that has not done so. Ditto with the CIA. Or most branches of the military (the Air Force -- which used to run the US cybersecurity efforts -- is the one exception).

Conditions in war-torn South Sudan have worsened with thousands fleeing fighting since a ceasefire deal three weeks ago, the United Nations has warned.
In the northern battleground state of Unity, thousands of civilians are trekking through the vast Sudd swamplands to reach the village of Nyal, away from fighting.
“About 10 canoes, each carrying 60 to 70 people, have arrived in Nyal on a daily basis since mid-August,” the UN office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said in its latest report.
At least 18,000 people have arrived in Nyal in the past two weeks, taking the total there to more than 78,000 civilians, the report added.

The Punch - Nigeria's Most Widely Read Newspaper

Kenyans held prayers and lit candles in Nairobi on Monday to mark the second anniversary commemorations of the Westgate shopping mall attack by militants from Somalia’s Al-Qaeda-affiliated Shebab.
In the Nakumatt supermarket inside the mall, where many of those who died in the attack were killed, staff held prayers, as shoppers went about normal business in the redecorated building.
“We are commemorating a time where many of our friends were lost, many of our friends had their destinies shattered,” said preacher Dennis Pamba, as staff in the supermarket lit lines of white candles to remember those killed.
The attack began on September 21, 2013, when four gunmen entered the mall, spraying shoppers and staff with machine gun fire and tossing grenades into crowds of Saturday shoppers and diners. The attack left 67 dead.

VW Accused Of Using Software To Fool Emissions Tests: Welcome To The Internet Of Cheating Things

Techdirt|Glyn Moody

There have been a number of stories on Techdirt recently about the increasing use of software in cars, and the issues that this raises. For example, back in April, Mike wrote about GM asserting that while you may own the car, the company still owns the software that runs it. You might expect GM to come out against allowing you to modify that software, but very recently we reported that it had received support from a surprising quarter: the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The EPA had a particular concern that engine control software might be tampered with, causing cars to breach emissions regulations. We've just found out that the EPA was right to worry about this, but not for the reason it mentioned, as the The New York Times explains:

‘APC government has put economy in coma’

BusinessDay|REGIS ANUKWUOJI

In this interview with REGIS ANUKWUOJI, the Director-General of Enugu Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture, Emeka Okereke, spoke on the state of the nation’s economy in the last three months among other issues. Excerpts:

The administration of Muhammadu Buhari is over 100 days; how do you assess his economic policy?

Well, the economic policy of the government is yet to be declared as far as we in the business sector are concerned. Perhaps, there are lots of thinking on their own part on the way to go, that is why that three months after plus some days we are still talking about inaugurating the federal executive council and you know democracy is not about one man, it is about the people and they are structures in place for sustainable democratic practice and I am sure that those that talk about democracy know the very reason why all these processes and structures are in place so that it will be a collective bargaining. For now, the president with all due respect, has been running the country as a sole administrator I am sure that perhaps he is very apprehensive about getting people to work with him. Some of us in the private sector had thought that the present government should have had a clear-cut policy for the economy even as the time they were campaigning.

4 months after assumption of office: APC still stammering on Boko Haram, Chibok girls

BusinessDay|Zebulon Agomuo, Odinaka Anudu, NATHANIEL AKHIGBE & ELEMOSHO OYINLOLA

Nigerians have expressed surprise and utter disappointment that four months after the inauguration of the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led government, Boko Haram insurgency has remained a big issue in the country.
They also expressed dismay at the inability of the party and its government to rescue the abducted Chibok girls from the Boko Haram captivity despite the party’s posturing before the general election.
It would be recalled that the APC was virulent in its verbal attack on the immediate past government, accusing it of exhibiting a lackadaisical attitude toward the girls’ release.
Some analysts said they were surprise that for four months running, the broom party has yet to free the girls from the Islamist sect’s captivity, and that recent comments credited to President Muhammadu Buhari appeared to suggest that “we are going back to square one.”
Buhari, in his trip to France, said he would negotiate with Boko Haram members for the release of Chibok girls.

5 Ways To Turn Food Into Muscle (Instead Of Fat!)

Bodyrock.tv|BodyRock

Insulin can be a tricky thing. It can make you fat or it can make you lean and muscular - it all depends on your insulin sensitivity and insulin resistance. If you do not have proper insulin sensitivity, it does not matter how much protein you eat over the course of a day, it will never get delivered to your muscles and will instead be stored as fat. And although many people believe that constantly eating a carb reduced diet will help them control an insulin release and lose weight, this isn't actually the case. You can optimize your insulin and start using your carbs as muscle building tools! Here are some strategies that will help you:

New species of ancient humans discovered in South Africa

The fossilised remains of a previously unknown species of human has been discovered inside a cave in South Africa.
Named Homo naledi, the species has been assigned to the genus Homo, to which modern humans also belong.
Scientists unearthed more than 1,500 bones belonging to at least 15 individuals which are yet to be dated.
They say they could be anything between 20,000 and two million years old.
The discovery came about thanks to a tip-off from cavers two years ago, who had glimpsed what looked like human remains through a crack in a limestone wall, MailOnline reported.
The bones were located in the Rising Star cave system in South Africa’s Gauteng province, part of the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site, in a remote chamber that can only be accessed via several steep climbs and fissures.

Inside the London megaport you didn't know existed

Inside the London megaport you didn't know existed

London Gateway was built by Dubai, is twice the size of the City of London, is run by robots, has the world’s largest cranes – and it’s where everything you buy will soon come from. London’s docks are back in business

The tallest cranes in the world meet a container ship the size of four football pitches ... business as usual at London Gateway. All photographs: courtesy DP World London Gateway Photograph: DP World London Gateway

Oliver Wainwright

Once the capital’s lifeblood, London’s docks have long since faded to little more than a garnish of maritime nostalgia on riverside real estate. Where once burly dockers hauled crates of exotic cargo, now bankers engage in international trade of a less visible kind. The physical economy of heaving stuff to and fro has been replaced by the streamlined global flow of finance, conducted in anonymous glass towers.
Or so the story goes.
It might come as a surprise to learn, then, that London’s docks are back – on a bigger scale than ever before. Running almost 3km along the Thames estuary is a £1.5bn new megaport that has literally redrawn the coastline of Essex, and wants to make equally radical shifts to the UK’s consumer supply chain.

A court in the southern Spanish city of Seville has put a new spin on the classic classroom punishment of writing out lines by ordering a businessman found guilty of defamation to tweet his court sentence every day for the next 30 days.
The case, which came to light this week, dates back to 2013, when Rubén Sánchez, a spokesman for the Spanish consumer rights group Facua, launched a legal challenge against Luis Pineda, who runs a rival consumer rights organisation,over hundreds of defamatory tweets. Sánchez and his legal team argued that Pineda had spent the past two years using Twitter to launch baseless accusations of corruption, theft and fiscal fraud against Sánchez.

South Sudan’s Kiir says ‘fully committed’ to peace deal

The Guardian Nigeria|AFP

South Sudan’s President Salva Kiir said Tuesday he was “fully committed” to ending his country’s civil war, as the UN Security Council was to consider a US request to impose sanctions.
Speaking to reporters in the capital Juba, Kiir insisted he had ordered his forces to respect a ceasefire with troops loyal to rebel leader and former vice president Riek Machar – unless they are attacked first.
“With that signature I have fully committed myself and the government to the faithful implementation of the agreement on the resolution of the conflict,” the president said, referring to a regionally-brokered deal signed in August and presented as a last chance for peace before sanctions are imposed.
“In my capacity as commander-in-chief, I have already issued a ceasefire order to stop any offensives in the conflict zone, unless in self defence if they are attacked,” he added.

PART ONE
CHAP TER ONE
Getting up from siesta, I felt like I had been on my
back for two weeks. Indeed, it was owing to the
Saturday all-night party I attended. I had dined and
wined like I had never done before. I went into the
bathroom, had a nice shower, and prepared myself for
the journey back to Rigabiu - a small town of about two
hundred kilometres from Kano, the centre of industrial
and commercial activities in the northern part of Nigeria.
Whenever I came back from Rigabiu to my lovely
Linda to spend the weekend with her, I hated going
back to that locality. It had none of the city's pulchritude
and western or modern frolicsomeness that I had been
used to while I was a secondary school student in
Lagos, and for all my close to seven years sojourn in
Britain.
Moreover, to leave Linda for five days in a week
was to me, like eternity. Rigabiu is the headquarters of
a local government. Our company was carrying on a
construction project in this area, – the construction of a
road that would link Hadejia to Kano, bypassing
Rigabiu. Consequently, after the day’s job, we always
pass the night at Rigabiu. We still had about three
more weeks before we moved to another location
where we could pass the nights if things went on as
planned.

DOJ Drops All Charges Against Professor After Realizing No One Checked To See If What He Sent To China Was Actually A Secret

Techdirt|Mike Masnick

There's been a bit of hysteria in the US lately about "the Chinese stealing our secrets." Now, there's plenty of evidence of corporate espionage going on from China, but the actual impact of it appears to be quite overblown. But as we're in a giant moral panic about everything China related, the White House launched a big "crackdown" on such things recently -- and so far it seems to have resulted in the DOJ destroying innocent people's lives, while getting a lot of egg on its face. The latest: late on Friday the DOJ announced that it was completely dropping all charges against Xi Xiaoxing, the head of Temple University's physics department, who had been arrested earlier this year for apparently sharing the schematics of a special device known as a pocket heater with Chinese scientists. The only problem? It turns out he didn't actually share the schematics of a pocket heater with the Chinese -- the FBI just assumed what he shared must be a pocket heater. But it wasn't.

Saudi king vows to find cause of pre-hajj crane tragedy

Saudi Arabia’s King Salman vowed on Saturday to find out what caused a crane collapse that killed 107 people at Mecca’s Grand Mosque ahead of the annual hajj pilgrimage.

Hundreds of thousands of pilgrims had already arrived in Mecca when the massive red and white crane toppled over during a Friday thunderstorm.

Munich is at the limit of its capacity to welcome refugees arriving in Germany, police have warned, a day after 12,200 asylum-seekers reached the city.
“We had a total of 12,200 refugees on Saturday ... today we’re expecting several hundreds. Given the numbers from yesterday, it is very clear that we have reached the upper limit of our capacity,” said a police spokesman.
