Amazon has upgraded, designed and tested a new bigger drone, capable of delivering packages round the U.S. in 30 minutes or less. This drone designed to access rural areas and suburbs in America takes off and lands vertically. In the air it flies like a regular plane and pretty fast too; as explained by Mark Spoonauer, Tom's Guide Editor-in-Chief, in a CNBC interview. He said it has a range of 15 miles and flies 55 miles per hour, speed enhanced with the drone's 8 propellers. Photo credit: GeekWire.com Amazon also remarked that they have in stock different designs for different environments and the drone built with a "sense and avoid" capability which it uses to detect obstacles and avoid crashing on it. The drone delivers by scanning and spotting an am...

CHICAGO (AP) — Rob Garofalo was devastated. He'd built his medical and research career on helping young AIDS patients. Then he learned that he, too, was HIV-positive. The news came after he'd already survived kidney cancer and a breakup with his longtime partner. Try as he might, the doctor could not heal himself, at least not emotionally. "I couldn't afford myself the same compassion that I'd spent a career teaching other people to have," says Garofalo, who heads the adolescent medicine division at Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago. At first, he told almost no one about his HIV status — not even his own elderly mother, who sensed that her son was struggling mightily during a Christmas visit in 2010. "You can tell me that everything is OK, but it's not," she said, cupping her hands around her son's face at the end of his trip to his native New Jersey. Garofalo recalls crying on much of the flight home to ...

By Okechukwu Okugo Do you have idea or ideas but don't know how to turn it into business? Retailing or buying/selling business in which one knows what to sell, how to get it and then locating potential buyers is usually a direct form of business. In simple terms, the buyer only having the problem of sourcing where to buy cheaper always and how to enhance strategies appealing to potential buyers to maximize their profit margin. But this is not usually the case with ideas that suddenly come into the head. Turning an idea into a business might be one of the hardest things to implement or do. Below are 5 simple steps that can help you, directly or indirectly, turn almost any idea into business: 1. Turn your idea into a product or service: first of all ask yourself how do you turn or convert the idea in your head to a product or service? Idea is abstract you must first of all be able to condense or materialize it into a product or service in such a way that it can now be ap...

The best way to know a Nigerian girl’s real name is to ask them for their bank account details. That is when Natasha Hills will turn to Nwachukwu Ahamefula Chetakwa Ngwa if she is from the southeastern part of Nigeria, or Aanuoluwapo Aarinade Abiodun if she is from the southwestern part of Nigeria, or Aimiebenomon Aimienorgho if she is from within the delta area of Nigeria; the only place where they have no option but to go with their real very long native names. Lol!

From Fuzzfix.com 1.  For most antelopes, a play date with three deadly cheetahs is best avoided. But unfortunately for this impala, there was no a choice in the matter. 2.  Remarkably, it appeared these frivolous cheetahs had more of an appetite for play than food. Going against their natural killer instincts, the cheetahs pawed at the baby impala like a child’s play thing. 3. Lured into a sense of security, the impala appears to nuzzled on of the cheetahs, which reciprocates with an equally adorable display of affection. 4. Despite the rarity of this behaviour, there is a logical explanation as to why the cheetahs chose to show uncharacteristic restraint and compassion. 5. Because cheetahs – the fastest land-animal on the planet – hunt once a day in the morning or afternoon; when not on a hunt, they conserve their energy and therefore only kill when they’re hungry. 6.  Ultimately, this instinct to only kill when necessary – and the...

By Okechukwu Okugo What hope can there be for a specie of animal whose population previously numbered in thousands and now only 3, with all the 3 remaining animals too old to reproduce? This northern white rhino which had roamed across Chad, parts of Uganda, the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of Congo and parts of Sudan, by 1960 were up to 2000 but reducing drastically to 15 in number by 1984. The major causes of the brutish cut down in number being aggressive poaching because of the high demand of their horns in traditional Asian medicines and their gradual habitat loss. But today, the world's only three remaining northern white rhinos are two female and one male - all weakened by old age and poor health. The last of this northern white rhino which had made the number previously 4, just died this November in San Diego Safari Park. When it became very sick, hit by old age and bacterial infection, was euthanized by Officials. This San Diego Park rhi...

By Okechukwu Okugo Considering the strength and durability of the Land Rover Defender, no one would be expecting it to die off soon. The maker of the car has already confirmed to Bloomberg by early next year, it would no longer see the production line. The car is so rugged that in water, desert and the forest, it will give an unbeatable performance. But if this car is so durable and nice, why would it be phased out, one must wonder. This British made car which was already phased out in sales in the US many years ago because of carbon emission problems, is meeting the same fate on a global production scale as a result of its emission problems which is by way too far against permissible limits and also it has issues meeting with pedestrian's safety. These two reasons are the culprits that would put the Defender permanently out of the world's car production lines. Indeed the world needs to go more greener than carbonized.

By Okechukwu Okugo With the recent downing of a Russian plane in Egypt and the pockets of terrorists attacks in North Africa, preceded by the Arab Spring that created a hydra headed problem in Libya with the ongoing war among the militias that ousted Gadhafi,  one might be wondering is there really something good going on in this part of Africa? Yes there is. In fact the world's aviation needs is being met in a large way by countries in North Africa like Morocco. Because of the nearness of Morocco to Europe and the availability of low cost labor, many aviation companies have set up in Morocco and doing fine business. A good example is the Matis Aerospace founded in 2001, a joint venture company between Boeing and France's Safran. Here they put together complicated harnesses and wire bundles for the aircraft industries in USA and Europe. They supply companies such as Boeing, Airbus, Snecma and Dassault. In order to see how large this joint venture is, Matis company e...

By Okechukwu Okugo The nature of an African is strong and while this may not be a kind of adaptation to their environment; it seems from the onset, Africans believed in accomplishing tasks manually. Irrespective of the fact that technology has advanced alongside medicine and health care today, one could have wondered how did the African forefathers got the strength to stay very healthy, to manage big heads of farmland and maintained their very large family? In those days an African man's wealth was measured in how large the family was. Therefore some of the extremely wealthy ones would be having as many as 50 wives or more and in some cases lost count of their children. Only paupers had one wife. The secret of their strength lies in the local gin distilled by the people. This local gin has various names by which the people call it. For example, Nigerians call it Ogogoro, Kai-kai, Kinkana, Kparaga, Ufofob (Calabar), Craze man in the bottle etc. It has been a standard pr...

By Okechukwu Okugo Recently a massive fast flowing "river of sand" was seen in a footage and went viral. Many were astonished to see a pack of sand in Iraq flowing exactly the way a river flows in a fast current, capable of carrying anything thrown into it along as it flows (you can watch it in the video below). Many people have watched it but they do not know what it is. After all normally how can sand dunes and pebble in a desert flow like river? We all know that only what is liquid or molten can "flow." For those that don't know, that flowing sand was a product of extreme weather event that happened in Iraq. This area has a very dried climate but suddenly it was hit by two or more events of extreme weather change. Ice storms, heavy rains and powerful winds combined and besieged the area. Hailstones as big as golf balls were reported falling in this area prompting the government of Iraq to declare a state of emergency in the area. S...

By Okechukwu Okugo For those scoffing that a Nigerian cannot provide solution to a 156-year-old mathematical problem with a prize tag of $1 million let me remind them the international prowess of Nigerians in the mathematical field. Firstly, they should remember that a Nigerian professor had already set a harder record by solving a 361-year-old maths puzzle, courtesy of Prof Chike Obi (died in March 2008); whom the African Mathematics Union suggests was the first sub-Saharan African to hold a doctorate in mathematics. Akin Jimoh in an article in this site: http://www.math.buffalo.edu/mad/PEEPS/obi-chike-fermat.html, reported that Professor Chike Obi,  "A Fellow of the Nigerian Academy of Science, the world renowned mathematics scholar won the Ecklund Prize from the International Centre for Theoretical Physics for original work in Differential Equations, and pioneering works in mathematics in Africa. He had earned his doctoral degree in 1950, specialising in...
