Mers Virus Makes Hajj Unsafe For Pilgrims

Elderly and chronically ill Muslims should not perform the hajj pilgrimage to curb the spread of the MERS coronavirus, Saudi Arabian health officials warned over the weekend. So far, MERS, which stands for Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus, has killed 38 people in Saudi Arabiaand another seven globally. More than 80 cases of the disease have been confirmed, according to the World Health Organization. (MORE: The Latest MERS Death Toll) The hajj pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia — one of the five pillars of Islam that's considered mandatory during the lifetime of a practicing Muslim — is one of the largest mass gatherings in the world, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This year, the gathering will take place from approximately Oct. 13 to 18, attracting 3 million Muslims from around the world, including an estimated 11,000 Americans, according to the CDC. The Saudi health ministry is recommending that elderly people, as well as those with chronic heart, kidney and lung diseases and diabetes, those with immune deficiencies, children and pregnant women postpone their pilgrimages. Health officials described the recommendations as preventive measures in the fight to contain the SARS-like virus. More than half of the people who have contracted MERS have died, according to the WHO, making it an alarming infection. It can also incubate in the human body for at least nine days, researchers have found, which makes it particularly difficult to track, treat and stop the disease. To date, neither the WHO nor the CDC have recommended any MERS-related travel restrictions.But both organizations have asked doctors to monitor respiratory infection patterns closely. Earlier this year, representatives from the WHO called the disease a "grave concern." "We understand too little about this virus when viewed against the magnitude of its potential threat," Dr. Margaret Chan, Director-General of the WHO, said in a speech to the WHO assembly inGeneva in May. "We do not know where the virus hides in nature. We do not know how people are getting infected. Until we answer these questions, we are empty-handed when it comes to prevention. These are alarm bells. And we must respond."

Machine Turns Sweat Into Drinking water

A machine that takes sweat-laden clothes and turns the moisture into drinking water isin use in Sweden. The device spins and heats the material to remove the sweat, and then passes the vapour through a special membrane designed to only let water molecules get through. Since its Monday launch, its creators say more than 1,000 people have "drunk other's sweat" in Gothenburg. They add the liquid is cleaner than local tap water. The device was built for the United Nation's child-focused charity Unicef to promote a campaign highlighting the fact that 780 million people in the world lack access to clean water. The machine was designed andbuilt by engineer Andreas Hammar, known locally for his appearances on TV tech show Mekatronik. He said the critical part of the sweat machine was a new water purification component developed by a company named HVR in collaboration with Sweden's Royal Institute of Technology. "It uses a technique called membrane distillation," he toldthe BBC. "We use a substance that's a bit like Goretex that only lets steam through but keeps bacteria, salts, clothing fibres and other substances out. "They have something similar on the [International] Space Station to treat astronaut's urine - but our machine was cheaper to build. "The amount of water it produces depends on how sweaty the person is - but one person's T-shirt typically produces 10ml [0.3oz], roughlya mouthful." The kit has been put on show at the Gothia Cup - the world's largest international youth football tournament. Mattias Ronge, chief executive of Stockholm-based advertising agency Deportivo - which organised the stunt - said the machine had helped raise awareness for Unicef, but in reality had its limitations.

Bangladesh Islamist Ghulam Azam found guilty of war crimes

A war crimes court has found Islamist Ghulam Azam guilty of five charges relating to Bangladesh's 1971 war of independence with Pakistan. Ghulam Azam was sentenced to 90years in jail for his involvement in mass killings and rape during the war. Supporters of Bangladesh's main Islamist Jamaat-e-Islami party, which he led from 1969 until 2000,clashed with police ahead of the verdict. It is the fifth sentence passed against current and former party leaders. The court found Mr Azam, 90, guilty of five charges including conspiracy, incitement, planning, abetting and failing to prevent murder. He faced more than 60 counts of crimes against humanity for his role in setting up militia groups which carried out atrocities during the war. He denied the charges, which his supporters say were politically motivated. Previous verdicts against Islamist leaders have also led to violent protests. The International Crimes Tribunal in Bangladesh was set up by the current Awami League-led government in 2010 to try alleged collaborators of the Pakistani armyduring Bangladesh's war of independence. Human rights groups have said thetribunal falls short of international standards.

He said: “We have different Colleges of Bishops. I am the Chairman of Communion of Bishops in Rivers State. Well, what actually happened was a set up. It was set-up by my enemies. The man who is in-charge of where I went to minister is my enemy. Heis the person that set me up. “He invited me to his church for a programme and after the programme, he set me up because of what we are dragging.We are dragging the chairmanship of the communion and that was why he set me up. "To my greatest surprise, on the said day and after I had prayed for her, the girl started pulling off her clothes and before you knew it, I had carnal knowledge of her.”

A 21yr Old female student of Tai Solarin University of Education, Vera, has also joined the list of female students who have had bizzare experiences with guys lately. The student simply identified as Vera narrated her near-death ordeal in the hands of her boyfriend, “Jide” who is a cyber crime expert (Yahoo Yahoo). She had been showered with giftswithout measure until the day of reckoning came. In her words: “We then had sex and immediately he jumped up and said he had something to do for his father. He dressed up quickly and dropped some money on the bed and left. I immediately went to the bathroom to clean up, as soon as I removed the condom; I saw worms and big black ants inside it. I screamed and ran out, but he had driven out of the compound. If I had not used the female condom, all those worms were meant to enter inside me and kill me as part of the money ritual process.” Some might believe this, some may not. But the reality of the situation is WEIRD stuff happens everyday. To ladies in the same pathway, remember the age-long saying: all that glitters is not gold. There is no free lunch in Freetown; there is no such thing as something for nothing. Selah.

AREGBESOLA: A governor’s craving for Saheed Osupa

When you walk into the office of Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, the Executive Governor of the State of Osun (as he loves to be addressed), chances are that you would meet him attending one meeting or the other with stakeholders in the state;or his head buried in a mountain of files that are jostling for his attention; or his bespectacled eyes fixed on his personal computer; or he is listening to the fuji music of Saheed Osupa after a hard-day’s job. While Ogbeni Aregbesola is known to admire a broad spectrum of music, the governor’s love for Saheed Osupa is said to be legendary; so much so that he sings along whenever he hears the music of the fuji artiste.

A reliable source close to the award-winning musician says he is in the studio waxing an album in celebration of the Ogbeni’s exploits as governor of the Living Spring.
