A Wisconsin vending machine company is offering its employees a chance to have a microchip implanted in their hands that they could use to buy snacks, log in to computers or use the copy machine. About 50 employees at Three Square Market have agreed to the optional implant of the chips, which are the approximate size and shape of a grain of rice, said Tony Danna, vice president of international sales at the River Falls-based company. The company, which employs 85, said it was the first in the United States to offer staff the technology which is similar to that used by contactless credit cards and chips used to identify pets. The implants made by Sweden's BioHax International are part of a long-term test aimed to see if the radio-frequency identification chips could have broader commercial applications, Danna said. "We've done the research and we're pretty well educated about this," Danna said in an interview. The company is holding an Aug. 1 "ch...

Prof. Ango Abdullahi, OUR attention has been drawn to your statements in Vanguard of Saturday, June 10, 2017. You are alleged to be in support of the call on the Igbo to quit. It is unfortunate, grossly unfortunate, that a scholar of your calibre will be so partisan as to be unable to see the wisdom in retaining Nigeria as a corporate entity. I know you have, in the past, been anti-Igbo. One would have thought that our education exposes us to a level where we can live even with our enemies. You said in the alleged publication that, “each year up to the time Nigeria gained its independence, none of the two regions East and West was able to produce for its self. I mean none of the Western and Eastern Regions had the money to effectively run the affairs of the region until they got financial support from the Northern Region.” It is this assumption of yours that I want to address. First of all it is not true that the North had bailed out Eastern Region or the Western Region. But you ...

My associates and I come daily through several candidates’ CVs (we have a repository of 15000+ Nigerian CVs). Over the years, I have also read several -unfortunately- bad books on CV writing and a lot of outdated online advice. And while there is plenty of advise on what to write and the how-to, there is also good to know what to avoid in a CV… those CV mistakes known as ‘CV-Killers’. So, kindly allow me to offer some brief but absolute ‘no-no’- tips coming from experience. List of CV ‘No-No’s 1. Don’t put on top ‘Curriculum Vitae’ or ‘Resume’! Is there really a chance that someone will think that it is something different? Thus, assume that you are addressing intelligent people, please. 2. No unnecessary obvious words. So, don’t use words like “address, phone, email” in front of the actual information 3. Absolutely no unprofessional email address. Avoid using things like SexyGirl4uNow@gmail.com or Bestbeerdrinker67@yahoo.co.uk , or azonto-man2017@gmail.com, etc. 4. No ...

The Afrikaanse Protestante Kerk church in Orania, told the journalists “the church is only for whites”. Orania is an Afrikaans-only South African town located along the banks of the Orange River, in the arid Karoo region of the Northern Cape Province.

According to Africa Review, Oukamp said allowing black people into an all-white church would be violating the “rights of Afrikaans people”. “I am now in a difficult situation. You know that Orania, is only for white people, this is why we are here. “You must understand I know you want to serve God and everything but I have to protect the rights of Afrikaans people. So I cannot let you in, you g...
