FBI Warns of ISIS-Inspired Cyber Attacks on 9/11 Anniversary
From ABC News
The FBI
is warning that an ISIS-inspired group of hackers is threatening to
mark today’s anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks with a new
cyber-assault against U.S. government-related websites.
Twitter users claiming to be associated with the group, branding
themselves with the "hashtag" moniker #AmericaUnderHacks, have already
been posting online what they say is sensitive information about U.S.
government personnel. But the information is available through basic
Internet searches and is "recycled" from several years ago, sources told
ABC News.
Nevertheless, the FBI wants companies doing business with the U.S.
government to be able to defend their networks should hackers try to
"commemorate the anniversary of the terrorist attacks" with more serious action, according to a "private industry notification" issued Thursday citing the recent threats.
“Will penetrate … governmental sites in September 11 to commemorate the
destroyed skyscrapers,” threatened one recent tweet from the
ISIS-inspired group of hackers, who call themselves the “Islamic Cyber Army.”

Journalists in Akwa-Ibom vow not to give Police coverage if…
The journalists who were miffed by the PPRO’s action, reminded her of her position as the mirror of the Nigeria Police Force . The visibly enraged PPRO, claimed that the journalists were trying to dictate to her on how to run her office and as such, ordered them to leave her office immediately or face unpleasant consequences. It was gathered that since Nwawe took over the office of the state’s PPRO in March this year, the cordial relationship between the newsmen and her office has turned sour.

New human-like species discovered in South Africa
From BBC
Scientists have discovered a new human-like species in a burial chamber deep under a cave in South Africa.
The discovery of 15 partial skeletons is the largest single discovery of its type in Africa.The researchers claim that the discovery will change ideas about our human ancestors.
The studies which have been published in the journal Elife also indicate that these individuals were capable of ritual behaviour.
The species which has been named naledi has been classified in the grouping, or genus, Homo to which modern humans belong.
The researchers who made the find have not been able to find out how long ago these creatures lived - but the scientist who led the team, Prof Lee Berger, told BBC News that he believed they could be among the first of our kind (genus Homo) and could have lived in Africa up to three million years ago.

My father raped his daughter, and I am their baby (story)
I am sharing my story for every girl who lives in silence, and for every person to understand that all life has value and is worthy of protection.
I was conceived in father/daughter rape-incest. My mother, Becca, was molested by her father throughout her childhood and was 15 when I was born. She was offered an abortion by a doctor who had asked her if she had been a "bad girl," to which she responded that she had not, because she really had no understanding of what her father had been doing to her.
This doctor completely failed to help her break free from the molestation. In fact, Child Protective Services also failed to protect my mom, even though they were called by the school authorities, and while at school my mom told them what was happening. Nevertheless, they ultimately sent her home to be abused for several more years.

Buhari’s 100 days and invasion of Akwa Ibom Govt House: My Position - Ayo Fayose
President Mohammadu Buhari’s government is now 100 days and even though I align with most Nigerians, who opined that 100 days is too short in the life of a government, it is important to make some clarifications as regarding the administration. This is more so that the All Progressives Congress (APC) and some political jobbers that are looking for appointments are praising the President, citing imaginary achievements.As at today, the only achievement recorded by the President Buhari’s government is the harassment of leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and those perceived as not on the same political page with the president in his party.

Meet The 103 Years Old Bodybuilder, And Still Going Strong (photos)
He won the first Mr Universe in 1952 Mr. Universe – Group III championship. He is also a three-time Asian Games gold medalist in body building.
Manohar Aich, is 4 foot 11, overcame many hurdles, including grinding poverty and a stint in prison, to achieve bodybuilding glory.
Rippling his muscles and flashing a toothless grin, Aich says his ability to take his troubles lightly and remain happy during difficult times are the secrets to his long life.
That, and a simple diet of milk, fruits and vegetables along with rice, lentils and fish have kept him healthy.
He does not smoke and has never touched alcohol, he said.
“I never allow any sort of tension to grip me. I had to struggle to earn money since my young days, but whatever the situation, I remained happy,” Aich said, sitting in a room decorated with posters and pictures of his many bodybuilding triumphs.
Aich, who was born in the small town of Comilla in Bengal, was a puny youngster. But he was attracted to exercising and building his muscles when as a schoolboy he saw a group of wrestlers in action.

N4bn uncovered in 470 accounts - El-Rufai
The Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir
el-Rufai said on Saturday that with the adoption of the Single Treasury
Account, the state had traced and uncovered N4bn stashed in 470
different accounts in 23 commercial banks.
He noted that the Peoples Democratic
Party administration had been operating these (470) accounts in
different banks over the years with various names.
According
to the governor, but for the adoption of the Single Treasury Account
system, nobody would have traced and discovered the accounts or
recovered the said money.
El-Rufai, who spoke through his deputy,
Barnabbas Bala, stated this at the Third Town Hall Meeting, initiated by
the government to interface with the people of Southern Kaduna
senatorial district.
It was held at Kafanchan, in Kaura Local Government Area of the state, on Saturday.
The deputy governor, who represented his
principal, said through the Single Treasury Account, the government was
able to trace and discover the said amount in the banks.
Health: Painkillers are drugs, not sweets!
The way some people pop painkillers seem
to suggest that the drugs are candies with another name! It is such that
many people don’t even consider the fact that they need to see a doctor
or, at least, a pharmacist, to complain about whatever pain they may be
feeling.
Consequently, by the time many people finally think of seeking medical help, they are almost ready for the morgue.
Perhaps after sleeping pills, the next
commonest drug of abuse is pain relief medication. People take pain
medications for the relief of pain in various parts of the body and also
for various health challenges. Many people are even unaware that
certain pain medications are better suited for certain ailments and are
therefore better prescribed by a competent professional, who will also
monitor the effects, especially when such drugs are to be used for
extended period, as in the treatment of chronic pain conditions like
arthritis, cancer, etc.

Nigerian President or King of the North? by Femi Fani Kayode
"In 418 B.C. Herodotus, the Greek philosopher who is known as the ‘’father of history’’, said "a man who does not know anything about the events that took place before he or she was born will remain forever a child.’’ Not only was he right but one must go a step further by saying that those who refuse to learn from their history are condemned to repeating its mistakes.
In 1957, Sir Ahmadu Bello, the Saurdana of Sokoto and the Premier of the North, said the following: "We the people of the north will continue our stated intention to conquer the south and to dip the koran in the Atlantic ocean after the British leave our shores."
Three years later, on 12 th October 1960, he went a step further by saying the following words to the Parrot Newspaper: “The new nation called Nigeria should be an estate of our great grandfather Uthman Dan Fodio. We must ruthlessly prevent a change of power. We must use the minorities in the North as willing tools and the South as a conquered territory and never allow them to rule over us and never allow them to have control over their future”.

There was a call from her later that night that upset me so my sister and her husband stayed the night because I was still very upset. The next day, my mother called, wanting stuff she had left at my apartment.
