SERAP TAKES FG TO COURT FOR NOT PUBLISHING LOOTERS NAME

Rights advocacy group, Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP), has urged a Federal High Court in Lagos to compel the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, to furnish it with the names of suspected looters who had returned stolen funds.

The Federal Government had, through the Ministry of Information and Culture, recently disclosed that it had recovered cash sums of N78,325,354,631.82, $185,119,584.61, £3,508,355.46 and €11, 250, among others, between May 29, 2015 and May 25, 2016.

SERAP said it resorted to suing Mohammed following the minister’s failure to oblige its request to publish the names of the looters and the circumstances under which they returned the loot.

Joined as a defendant in the suit is the Attorney-General of the Federation and the Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN).

The group said it was entitled to be supplied with the information by virtue of Section 4(a) of the Freedom of Information Act 2011.

It claimed that by releasing the names of the looters, the Federal Government had nothing to lose.

It is urging the court to determine whether by virtue of Section 4(a) of the Freedom of Information Act 2011, Mohammed and Malami were not under an obligation to publish the looters’ names as it had requested.

“By virtue of Section 1(1) of the FOI Act 2011, the plaintiff is entitled, as of right, to request for or gain access to information which is in the custody or possession of any public official, agency or institution.

“Under the FOI, when a person makes a request for information from a public official, institution or agency, the public official, institution or agency to whom the application is made is under a binding legal obligation to provide the applicant with the information requested for, except as otherwise provided by the Act, within seven days after the application is received,” the group contended.

SERAP said publishing the looters’ names would provide an insight into the debate on the ongoing ant-corruption fight and how looters had been evading punishment.

It added, “While the suspects generally are entitled to be presumed innocent until proven guilty by a court of competent jurisdiction, the FOI Act implicitly prohibits blanket non-disclosure of names of high-ranking public officials from whom some of the funds were recovered.

“SERAP believes that the right to truth allows Nigerians to gain access to information essential to the fight against corruption and in turn development of democratic institutions as well as provides a form of reparation to victims of grand corruption in the country.”punchng.com

§  CPU and RAM: A10 processor, 3GB RAM

§  Front Camera: 5MP with wide angle lens

§  Rear Camera: 12MP, 4K video recording, optical image stabilization

§  Waterproofing?

Samsung's muddied the waters somewhat by taking a leaf out of Apple's playbook and not disclosing much information about the processor hardware at launch. We already know from earlier rumours that both the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 and Samsung Exynos 8890 SoC's are inside various iterations of each Galaxy S7 model, and we know 4GB of RAM was rumoured too. However, all Samsung has said is that the Galaxy S7 has a 30% CPU performance uplift over the previous generation, and a 64% speed enhancement to the GPU, along with the introduction of a liquid-cooled heat pipe and heatsink setup to help in high-performance situations.

The iPhone 7 will run Apple’s next-generation A10 mobile chipset and, if previous versions are anything to go by, it should be an alarmingly powerful chipset. Apple’s A8 and A9 chipsets dominated the mobile space in 2014/15 showcasing just what was possible with processing power when you have complete control over specs, hardware and software. And this is no doubt the reason Samsung invested so heavily in its Exynos solution — it wants more control over its devices’ performance and capabilities. 

However, this year’s iPhone will likely be the most spec-heavy release Apple has ever pushed to market, providing it features a QHD panel. How much RAM Apple uses is also a deciding factor in the spec battle between the two handsets as well, but mostly this is just academic — the A10 and new Exynos will be super fast, regardless for whether they’re paired with 2GB or 4GB. Apple has consistently shown it can get plenty of performance out of very little memory, so the addition of more inside the iPhone 7, alongside the A10 chip makes for a pretty monstrous phone. 

One thing that can be expected for sure is that the iPhone 7 will likely come in 32, 64, and 128GB models. Thankfully Apple should drop the 16GB iPhone version this time around. However there are rumors the iPhone 7 could also come in a 256GB model…something that seems far too good to be true at present. Nevertheless, should Apple get rid of the 16GB version — something it really needs to do, as 16GB is just pathetic these days — then it stands to reason it will have to replace it with something at the top-end to bump everything down a peg and make 32GB the standard model, before 64GB and then 128GB and finally 256GB. 

Again, Samsung has sort of glossed over storage capabilities, aside from the microSD slot, and even then it hasn't disclosed how big the cards can be. We believe, based on earlier benchmarks and leaks, that the Galaxy S7 series starts at 32GB onboard, and may have 64GB and 128GB models too, but Samsung is yet to confirm this.

What we do know is each Samsung model packs a hefty battery pack, either a 3000mAh cell inside the Galaxy S7 or a 3600mAh setup in the Galaxy S7 edge - both should provide plenty of juice on a single charge. There's little info about Apple's battery hardware at this stage. http://www.knowyourmobile.com/

iPhone 7 Camera Compared with Samsung Galaxy S7 Camera

iPhone 7 Camera Compared with Samsung Galaxy S7 Camera

The iPhone 6s received a major camera upgrade over the iPhone 6—getting a 12MP rear camera and 5MP front one. Don’t expect any megapixel boosts in the iPhone 7 since Apple usually holds the MP-rating for a few years. However, year-on-year Apple has consistently tweaked other parts of the camera setup to incrementally improve imaging performance, and that's not something we expect it to stop.

Expect wider apertures, larger pixel sizes, and more complex sensors with higher-quality lenses inside the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. One rumoured feature though is the introduction of optical image stabilisation (OIS) to the base iPhone 7 model. 

Apple is also apparently linked with LG for its camera components. Sony was originally tasked with supplying Apple with its camera units, but apparently it cannot fulfil its orders so Apple is looking elsewhere for the shortfall.

LG is apparently building some -- if not all -- the dual-lens camera units for Apple’s iPhone 7 Plus handsets. The LG G5’s camera is bloody superb, easily one of the handset’s biggest USPs, so the introduction of this technology inside the iPhone is certainly a huge deal for Apple fans.

Apple has a solid track record with its camera technology and it will definitely be interesting to see what its engineers come up with in this context. The unit will not be a straight swap, however, and Apple will tinker with the overall design, implementation and specs of the camera.

Apple even has a patent for how the software will work. 

The patent application shows a dual-lens camera interface aboard an iPhone, complete with diagrams and annotations. The patent shows a dual-camera system that consists of one standard wide-angle lens and a second telephoto lens that are capable of capturing zoomed-in video and photos at the same time.

Both can be used together simultaneously and users will be able to merge images together in “unique” ways.

“As described by Apple, images from both lenses can be displayed on the same screen in the Camera app through a split-screen view that shows a standard wide-angle image on one side and the zoomed image on the other side,” notes MacRumors. “When capturing a video or a photo, users are able to transition between both lenses seamlessly, tapping on a spot in the photo to zoom in with a second lens. Apple's system would work similarly to digital zoom does today, but because it's using a lens with a longer focal length instead of zooming in through software, there's no loss of detail and the zoomed in image is much more crisp and clear.”

Samsung has made some big changes to the Galaxy S7 camera. For one thing, the megapixel rating has actually gone DOWN to 12MP, but this is a deliberate choice and Samsung is instead focusing on other areas of the hardware to improve image quality. Things like a wider f/1.7 aperture, a larger 1.4um pixel size, and the world's first dual-pixel sensor with 100% phase detection autofocus. Correspondents at MWC are raving about this new camera setup, and the low-light performance as well as focusing speed is reportedly quite remarkable.

iPhone 7 Specifications & Performance Compared with Samsung Galaxy S7

iPhone 7 Specifications & Performance Compared with Samsung Galaxy S7

We can’t really make any claims that iPhone 7’s performance as the handset is still very much under wraps at Apple HQ. But, based on prior history, we can make a few intelligent guesses about where Apple will make improvements over 2015’s iPhone 6s.

Likely candidates include display resolution, imaging, battery performance, connectivity and water and dust proofing. These are the areas we expect Apple to focus on later this year when it announces its three, new iPhone 7 models.

The Galaxy S7 may look and feel a lot like last year’s Galaxy S6, but in practice — and in terms of performance — this couldn’t be further from the truth. Samsung has smashed the ball out of the park with this year’s flagship, which boasts excellent battery performance and a market-leading CPU in the form of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 (providing you can get that version, that is).

GSM Arena has also benchmark tested both the Galaxy S7 Exynos 8890 variant and the Snapdragon 820 variant, and similarly the site said that both phones came up with very fast results.

"It seems both Samsung's and Qualcomm's custom processor cores turned out for the better and we like where things are going. It was about time the CPU race switch from core count competition to actual processing power and optimizations. Both new entries came very close to Apple's 1.84GHz Twister CPU champ, which means Apple's first spot in this department will be threatened in the months to come."

In Geek bench 3 Multi-core testing the Exynos Galaxy S7 came "top of all devices we've tested so far", meanwhile AnTuTu 6 "puts the Galaxy S7 trio on top of all smartphones we've put through the same test," though with the Snapdragon 820 powered S7 edge at the top.GFXBench tests on the two GPU variants also found more-or-less equally impressive performance.

       Samsung Galaxy S7 vs iPhone 7: Di

splay

The big news for iPhone fans is the iPhone 7 will probably get a higher resolution display, specifically a QHD one with a resolution of 2560 x 1440—as many Android handsets already have. This will match the resolution of the Galaxy S7. As far as sizes, the iPhone 7 should come in the standard 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch (Plus) models.

Both Samsung's Galaxy S7 handsets to indeed have QHD display resolutions for their Super AMOLED panels. For the 5.1in Galaxy S7 this results in a pixel density of 577ppi, and for the larger 5.5in Galaxy S7 edge an ever-so-slightly lower, but nonetheless sharp, 534ppi. Both also feature Samsung's new Always On Display (AOD) capabilities, which is where the OLED display selectively powers on a few specific pixels to show certain information while in a sleep state. This is a low power solution and allows it to show the time, date, and a few notifications.

The Galaxy S7 edge naturally has the curved display edges we've seen on a few Samsung phones now. With Android Marshmallow and the new Touch Wiz build Samsung has literally expanded how much of the edge of the screen utilises the edge functions for things like shortcuts and widgets. It has also allowed you to store more applications in the hot bar.

Federal Government has made its position known on the ban of Post-Jamb

The Federal Government on Saturday clarified its ban on Post-Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination and the general admission procedures, saying it “does not in any way affect the statutory role of the Senate of any University or the academic boards of any tertiary institution conducting its admissions.”

The Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu, stated this inpunchng.com a statement by the Deputy Director (Press and Public Relations) in the Ministry of Education, Mr. Ben. Bem-Goong.

He said the clarification became necessary “following conflicting reports in the media over the roles of universities and the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board in admission under the new dispensation.”

According to him, the role of JAMB is to conduct the UTME, compile the list of candidates whose scores meet the cut-off marks (180 and above) and send same to the Universities.

The Universities, he emphasised, will shortlist the candidates using the agreed guidelines and thereafter return the shortlisted candidates to JAMB for verification of compliance to guidelines and subsequent issuance of JAMB admission letters.

“For the avoidance of doubt, any screening charges shall apply only to successful candidates who have been issued admission by the universities of their choice. All Universities and JAMB should adhere to this directive”, Adamu stated.

DRINKING GOOD QUANTITY OF WATER DAILY IS GOOD FOR YOUR HEALTH

The Quantity of Water You Need to Drink Daily
The quantity of water you need to drink each day depends on a few factors, which include: your age, gender, activity level and even the weather. The Institute of Medicine, which sets Dietary Reference Intakes for all nutrients, says that in general, women need around 11 cups of water a day, while men need 15.6 cups a day.

It does not imply you need to guzzle water all day long?

Those 11-16 cups a day include all liquid in your diet, so if you’re envisioning needing to sip water nonstop to meet the requirement, don’t worry. All the liquids you drink — including tea, juice, coffee and soda (not that you’re drinking soda, right?) — give you some of the water you need each day. Even a beer will hydrate you, although multiple alcoholic beverages or hard alcohol act as a diuretic. You can also hydrate through many of the foods you eat. Soup is obviously hydrating, but so are foods with a high water content, like cucumbers, lettuce or watermelon.

Other factors to consider?
Exercise: If you’ve been sweating a lot (like after a long, hard workout), you need more than just water to rehydrate you. When you sweat you also lose electrolytes, such as sodium, chloride, calcium, magnesium and potassium. So if you’ve been working out for over an hour, make sure you get some salt back in you, either through a snack (like a handful of pretzels) or a recovery beverage (studies have shown that milk, which delivers both sodium and protein, makes an excellent recovery beverage). If you’re exercising for less than an hour, plain water is just fine — you don’t want to undo all those calories burned with a sugary sports drink.
Weather: You need to drink more water if you’re in a hot environment. High humidity also increases your water needs, so make sure you drink enough water and eat water-rich foods when it’s hot out, especially if you’re exercising.
Weight loss: Water fills you up — it’s one of the reasons eating water-rich, low-calorie foods can help you feel satisfied and ultimately slim down. In a 2010 study, older adults who drank 2 cups of water before meals lost a few more pounds over 4 months than those who didn’t drink water first.

SEE WHAT HAPPENED TO A NEW BORN BABE DUMPED BY AN UNKNOW PERSON INSIDE THE DRAINAGE IN FAYOSE MARKET IN ADO EKITI

An unknown woman in Ado Ekiti, the Ekiti state capital, dumped a new born babe inside the drainage in the popular Fayose market. This was discovered by some traders in the market when they were resuming for their work. The identity of the mother of this babe was not known by anybody. People assumed that the mother of this babe should be one of the young aristo ladies that got unwanted pregnancy through unprotected sex.  It was later that environmentalists came to evacuate the remains of the babe.
