Have You Heard Of The New Google Tweet Section?

Google and Twitter have teamed up. Google will now have a tweet section, which will appear in real time on the top of the search engine when users search for keywords or phrases This groundbreaking initiative, joins the Internet giants, Google and Twitter, and will change the Google search algorithm. When searching with a mobile -smartphone or tablets, tweets related to the topic searched appear. For example, as Webpronews noted, when you search on a name, such as “Taylor Swift”, you see tweets that she has put out there. Google will therefore include a new section with tweets which will be the first thing that appears when searching with the mobile. For now, this new single will be available in the US English version, but they are planning to expand this amendment both to other countries and in other languages. It may be used on Android and Apple operating systems, and from a pc browser. Binding of the search engine and a social network is going to generate a l

The Five Friends You Must Have When You’re Single

Saw this on naijasinglegirls and i think it rocks for me so i decided to post it . They say it takes a village, and when you’re single, it actually might. (A village of friends, that is.) I personally could not do without mine; I need that mix of personalities to help keep me in check. I need a panel. A balanced one. Here’s my list of indispensable friends: THE SHRINK I am lucky enough that one of my best friends is a shrink. No, really. It’s her actual job. This is what’s so great about having a shrink as a best friend: They never judge. And if they do, they don’t tell you. They use phrases like “Why are you engaging?” and “That’s okay, it’s how it makes you feel.” They will tell you it’s okay to call or text if that’s what you feel you need to do. And you believe them. Because it’s their job to help people. “I have called 26 times. I can’t stop. Do you think I should call again?” “If you feel you need to do that, then that’s what you need to do to get through it

Petition urges Olympic committee to strip Caitlyn Jenner of Olympic medal

Image
A petition has been set up by some people calling for the International Olympic Committee to revoke Bruce Jenner's 1976 Olympic Gold medal. Bruce, now known as Caitlyn, won the coveted gong competing in the decathlon in Montreal. Jennifer Bradford, who started the petition, argued that as Bruce 'always believed herself to be truly female' her medal was won 'in violation of committee rules regarding women competing in men's sports.' The petition currently has around 3,000 signatories and has spawned a hash tag #givebackthegold The full text reads: It has recently come to light that gold medalist Bruce Jenner is in fact transgender, and therefore, identifies as a woman. We congratulate Ms. Jenner on these new developments and wish her the best. However, this creates somewhat of a problem as Ms. Jenner (as talented as she is) claims that she has always believed herself to be truly female, and therefore, was in violation of committee rules

25 Nigerian soldiers sentenced to death over Boko Haram sue the Army

Image
The 25 Nigerian soldiers who were sentenced to death by hanging in December 2014 for refusing to fight Boko Haram, have dragged the Nigerian Army and the Chief of Army staff, Kenneth Minimah to court, challenging their death sentence by a special court martial set up by the Nigerian Army. According to Premium Times, in the court papers filed by lawyers from Falana & Falana Chambers, the soldiers in their summons questioned the refusal of the Army Chief, and the Nigerian army to make public their findings from the general court martial they conducted. The soldiers are also seeking to know if it is legal for the army to withhold the document in which their judgement was stated and if the death sentence handed to them can be carried out while they still await judgement from a court of appeal regarding their conviction. The soldiers are also seeking to know if the death sentence handed to them can be carried out without the express approval of President Buhari

Rafael Benitez to become Real Madrid manager

Image
The 55-year-old ex-Liverpool boss ended a two- year stint with Napoli following a 4-2 home defeat by Lazio on Sunday. "I am enthusiastic and happy, although there are things that still need to be discussed," Benitez said upon his arrival in Madrid. Madrid-born Benitez will replace Carlo Ancelotti, who was sacked last week just a year after winning the Champions League against Atletico Madrid. Real confirmed on their website Benitez would be unveiled at a press conference at 12:00 BST on Wednesday. Spaniard Benitez will arrive at the Bernabeu with plenty of European pedigree, having won the Champions League with Liverpool in 2005, Uefa Cup with Valencia in 2004 and the Europa League while interim manager at Chelsea two years ago. Benitez started his coaching career with Real's youth squad but it was with Valencia that he made his name. He led them to two La Liga titles before leaving for Liverpool, where he also won the FA Cup and Uefa Super Cup.

Always Pay Attention ( joke of the day)

Image
Saw this on nairaland and I couldn't help laughing.. See for yourself First year UNIBEN medical students were attending their 1st Anatomy Class. They all gathered around the table and there was a real dead body on the table. The Professor, Mr. Etim, started the class by telling them two important qualities of a DOCTOR. He said, "The 1st is that never be DISGUSTED about anything in the body." For example, he inserted his FINGER in the dead body's ANUS & put the finger in his own mouth & TASTED it. Then he told the students to do what he did. The students hesitated for several minutes, but eventually everyone inserted their fingers in the body's ANUS & tasted it. When everyone finished tasting their fingers, they were all Frowning... Then the professor looked at them & said: "The most important 2nd Quality is "Observation". I inserted my MIDDLE finger but tasted the 2nd finger... Now learn to pay attention!! &

Sepp Blatter to resign as Fifa president amid corruption scandal

Image
Sepp Blatter is to resign as president of world football's governing body Fifa as reports emerge he is under investigation in the United States. The Swiss was re-elected last week, despite seven top Fifa officials being arrested in a massive corruption probe. Announcing his shock exit, the 79-year-old Blatter, who has been in power for 17 years, said: "My mandate does not appear to be supported by everybody." He plans to carry on his duties until a replacement can be elected. Why stand down now? Fifa has been dogged by corruption allegations for years now but it was rocked to its core last week by the arrests of seven Fifa officials on charges of racketeering, wire fraud and money laundering. The charges are part of a US prosecution that indicted a total of 14 people from around the globe. Further allegations emerged on Tuesday that increased the pressure. Reports also claimed Fifa general secretary Jerome Valcke was responsible for an alleged
