Young Nigerian Brothers 13 and 15 Build Mobile Web Browser
These secondary school students taught themselves to code and, with encouragement from their parents and school, they've achieved something extraordinary.
Anesi and Osine Ikhianosime, 13 and 15 years old respectively, are students of Greensprings school, Anthony Campus, Lagos, and they developed an Android based web browser called Crocodile Browser Lite sometime last year.
Anesi and Osine Ikhianosime, 13 and 15 years old respectively, are students of Greensprings school, Anthony Campus, Lagos, and they developed an Android based web browser called Crocodile Browser Lite sometime last year.
At a closer look, these genius brothers are just like every other teenage boy but not quite at the same time. Osine likes to play soccer, but also takes coding as a hobby – which is not something every 13 year old boy does.
His interest in computers began at the tender age of 7, the same age which he and his brother –who was 9 at the time (born June 1, 1999), decided to start a company of their own. Inspired by Microsoft’s “Windows” platform, they initially named their new company ‘Doors’, but later changed the name to ‘BluDoors’ when they found out that the initial name had been taken.
The two brothers decided to learn to code at ages 12 and 14 respectively. “I learnt to code by myself. I started in 2013, I used sites like Code Aca

Facts about hip-hop and prison for profit
GoldenUndergroundTV recently released an interview I did with them late last year. I got a bit animated at the end. Only so many interviews in a row I could handle being asked about Chief Keef.
My tirade wasn’t really about Chief Keef. It wasn’t about Gucci Mane or Wocka Flocka or any of the acts spontaneously catapulted into stardom by synchronized mass media coverage despite seemingly universal indifference (at the very best) regarding their talent. Whose arrests, involvement in underaged pregnancies, concert shootouts, and facial tattoos, dominate conversation for weeks at a time, with their actual music a mere afterthought, if thought of at all.
My tirade was about marketing. It was about media powers seeking out the biggest pretend criminal kingpins they can find, (many of whom who shamelessly adopt the names of actual real life criminal kingpins like 50 Cent and Rick Ross), and

Man With Terminal Cancer Dedicates Last Months to Making Wife's Dreams Come True
If you had only six months left
to live, what would you do? For one man in England, it meant marrying a
woman he knew since high school and making her dreams come true.
In January 2012, 26-year-old Chris Price
moved in with Ceri Johnson. Shortly after, he began having stomach
pains. In April, doctors diagnosed him with cancer. Price underwent an
eight-hour surgery to remove part of his stomach, where the cancer had
spread.
According to doctors, Price was in the clear. But a year later, a secondary cancer appeared in his liver and lungs.
"It
was as if Chris wanted to spend his last days making me as happy as he
could," she told BBC News. "We did such a lot in those last six months.
He was so positive. He never talked about dying; he just wanted to see
me and the children happy in the time he had left."
First, the couple became husband and wife in a church ceremony
that saw Johnson's four children as guests of honor. Then Price took
his family to Disneyland Paris. After stopping home for a few weeks, the
newlyweds flew to New York to sightsee and shop.
Price's
wish granting wasn't just limited to trips. According to Wales Online,
the husband also gifted his wife with material items she had always
wanted: a pair of Louboutin shoes and a Mulberry bag.
Johnson
received a trip to Las Vegas for her birthday. Price had planned on
joining her, but his health took another turn for the worse. He died in
Johnson's arms, and his funeral took place in the same church where they
had married just six months earlier.
"If
my love could have saved him, he would have lived forever," she said.
"We packed so much into the short time we had together. His illness made
him live completely in the moment, and he taught me to do the same."

Sex positions for mind-blowing orgasms
O, yes
1 The butterfly position or modified missionary
"With the woman on her back and
her hips on the edge of the bed, the man penetrates her while standing.
She then puts her legs over his shoulders and tilts her hips slightly
upwards. This gives a wonderful angle for cervical stimulation with deep
penetration that can produce some intense vaginal and uterine orgasms.
With more shallow penetration, a man can stimulate the anterior vaginal
wall to hit the G-spot."

Mozilla Working On $25 Smartphone For Emerging Markets
Budget phones are becoming just as important as high-end flagships for many companies now that countries like China and India are opening up to smartphones and other electronics in a more significant way. These budget devices have generally been available throughout the world since they are still relatively costly at $80-100 but Mozilla may change that.
Mozilla, the company behind the Firefox web browser, has partnered with Chinese chip maker Spreadtrum to come out with a $25 smartphone, the complete opposite of $500+ devices like the iPhone.
Unlike many of the other low-end smartphones that have become popular in emerging markets, this phone would be targeted solely at nations with less money to put towards smartphones and devices like them.

13 Controversial U.S. Deportation Stories
Last year, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) deported over 350,000 people.
1. Twenty-two-year-old Laura S. was deported “without the right of due process,” according to court documents, after a traffic violation in Pharr, Texas.
Laura had fled to the U.S. to escape her abusive boyfriend. According to Texas RioGrande Legal Aid, she was eligible for “relief from removal.” However, reports state she never saw an immigration judge or had a chance to talk to a lawyer. Days after she arrived in Mexico, she was found dead in a burning car belonging to her ex-boyfriend2. On Dec. 9, 2008, Mark Lyttle, a mentally disabled American citizen, was ordered to be deported by an Atlanta immigration judge.
