Every day in coastal hot
spots like San Francisco, New York, and Boston, it seems the news on
housing costs is just abysmal. Professionals in these areas may earn
higher paychecks, but many struggle with high rents—and for many, buying
a house seems like an impossible dream. But in a host of Midwestern and
Southern cities, the economic realities are a lot more palatable.
Buhari Reaveled Why He Shunned The Debate With President Jonathan
The Presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress,
Muhammadu has said, if he wins the March 28 poll, he will ensure strict
adherence to the constitution, saying he is now “a converted democrat”, Premium
Times reports. Mr. Buhari made the pledge while addressing a media parley in
Abuja today.

Beijing-Berlin friendship among the wonders on display at the CeBit fair in Hanover
The world's largest tech exhibition is underway in Germany. This year's
big highlight is the 600 different Chinese firms showcasing their
products as the "IT map shifts to the east."
CeBit, which is a German acronym for Center for Office Automation, Information Technology and Telecommunication, once dazzled consumers with the latest gadgets. But now, overshadowed by big tech events in Las Vegas and Barcelona, it has shifted its focus to business users. Last year, over 90 percent of its visitors were IT professionals.
This year's exhibition has a special focus on China as a partner country.
"China has developed itself from the workbench to being a global provider of solutions for the digital world. And companies such as Huawei and ZTE are already quality leaders in networking equipment here in Europe, for example," CeBit head Oliver Frese told DW's Henrik Böhme in Hanover. "We can clearly see a shift on the IT map towards the east."
Merkel has visited China seven times in her decade as chancellor, and she will meet Vice Premier Ma Kai (above left) as more than 600 Chinese companies exhibit their tech marvels at the fair. Jack Ma (above right), head of Chinese online commerce giant Alibaba, delivered the keynote address.
Chinese companies such as Huawei, Xiaomi and Lenovo will help fill the more than 30,000 square feet (3,000 m) of exhibition space. The huge Chinese contingent at the fair "makes it the biggest and strongest partner country presentation we've ever seen at CeBit," said Frese at a press conference.
Tech sector not effected by slowdown
Despite China's larger economic slowdown, information and communications technology are booming in the world's biggest smartphone market, which also has the largest number of Internet users.

Health & Healthcare Exercise Boosts Brain Power
Many studies have evaluated the effects of aerobic exercise on mental health, cognition, and memory, and virtually all have shown improvements in each of these parameters after long-term exercise programs. Most of the studies have been conducted in elderly people or people with cognitive impairment and the results have provided support for integrated exercise and wellness programs in the treatment of dementia and cognitive decline. Few studies have evaluated short-term or strength training exercise regimens. Until now, at least.

Angel Di Maria to stay Manchester United next year - Louis van Gaal
Winger Angel Di Maria will be a Manchester United player next season, according to manager Louis van Gaal.
Poor form
and his dismissal in the
2-1 FA Cup quarter-final defeat by Arsenal
had led to speculation the record £59.7m signing may seek a move away.
But Van Gaal said: "I think he'll stay. His reaction and attitude after the defeat and the red card has been good."

A MORE EXCELLENT NAME by E.A. Adeboye
Memorize:
Being made so much better than the angles, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. -Hebrews 1:4
Read: Acts 4:6-12
6 And Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem.

I will tackle pension, gratuity fraud – Buhari
Muhammadu Buhari, APC presidential candidate
The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Muhammadu Buhari has promised to alleviate the plight of pensioners across the country when he becomes President.
Mr. Buhari, who spoke while being presented with petition signed by a group of ex-servicemen protesting their treatment by the PDP-administration in the country, said that he is “saddened by the current situation of military, police and all other pensioners”.
He said it is unconscionable to allow senior citizens, who have served the country with zeal and patriotism in their youth, to be subjected to indignity and suffering while waiting to be paid their gratuity and pension, with some even having to engage in protests in their quest to be paid.
The APC presidential candidate also said “a situation where corrupt officials of state outrightly embezzle funds meant for payment of pensioners or delay such payment in order to fraudulently earn interest from deposit placements with banks will not be tolerated”.
As elected president, Mr. Buhari said he will invoke provisions of Article 1.5 of the APC manifesto to ensure that months before retirement of any officer, his or her entitlements would be worked out and accruing gratuity paid on the effective date of retirement while pension will follow as at when due.
While noting that the manner a society treats its aged and infirm is reflective of the civilization and decency of its people as a country. Nigeria must strive to provide for the youth and build a strong future for retiring senior citizens.
This, he said is his covenant of service which he has pledged to uphold.

Good News! Now you can use your mobile phone to combat stress
The NHS is launching phone apps to help people cope with depression
- GPs can prescribe apps to patients who don't want to talk to a counsellor
- But health chiefs stressed one-to-one counselling would still be available
The
NHS is helping launch a new generation of apps to help people cope with
stress, anxiety and depression – just by using their mobile phones.
GPs
will be able to prescribe the apps to patients put off by the prospect
of talking to a counsellor. Health chiefs believe they will also help
millions of people unwilling to go to a doctor in the first place.
Tim
Kelsey, the Government’s ‘digital health tsar’, said he wanted to
produce ‘a sort of NHS-endorsed app store for mental health’, hosted on
the NHS Choices website.
A new generation of apps has been

he admitted many would question whether screens could ever be as
effective as face-to-face therapy, and stressed it was not a question of
one or the other.
He said: ‘If people want and need one-to-one counselling, then that’s absolutely what they will get.

Did they really cut a woman's breast in Calabar because she stole? (graphic photo)
Lekki Robbery: Step-by-Step On How It Was Executed
The amazing (yes, that's the word) day-light (this is not even a figure
of speech) robbery in Lekki was right out of the set of a Hollywood
extreme heist movie.
The robbers stepped onto the road wearing full military fatigues and carrying AK47s.
They came in, killed people, did their business, and made away on the speedboats that brought them to Lekki.
It was, to say the least, a disaster. A disaster genenrally, but one that became even more unfortunate with Fashola's using it to score political points and Kayswitch (that's a musician, we hear) using one of the victims as a point of contact to thank God for keeping him alive.
Like God plays favorites.
Vanguard newspaper has reconstructed the event in a publication below:
"...the gun-toting hoodlums proceeded towards their target. There was no doubt that their fire power was to clear way for the accomplishment of their mission. They entered by the lagoon into an empty but fenced land beside a shopping complex which borders FCMB and Stanbic Bank, IBTC, by the roundabout of the Lekki end of the bridge.
"They forced the miscreants in the empty plot of land to open the makeshift black gate entrance of the plot and burst out into Admiralty road and started shooting indiscriminately. That was how they succeeded in forcing their way into the banks.
POLICE VICTIMS
"Unfortunately, as soon as the hoodlums outside the banks sited some policemen in a white coaster bus, they released volleys of bullets towards their direction. The policemen were on escort duty with expatriates in the bus when they ran into the scene. Three of the policemen were felled while the expatriates were seated unruffled in the white coaster bus as the operation lasted.

DSTV: How Not To Treat An Industry Leader
Apparently this lady thinks Etcetera should take a chill pill. This
was published this morning by Sun News.
Emotions, very strong ones at that, has dominated public
reaction to the 20 per cent hike in subscription rates of various bouquets
announced by MultiChoice, the country’s leading pay-TV provider.
To say I was surprised by the public reaction to the announcement,
made on 1 March and scheduled to take effect on 1 April, is to betray an
Olympic standard lack of awareness of how people react to hikes in prices of
goods and services they consider essential to how well they live.
APC Accuses President Jonathan of Capitalizing on Immigration Recruitment Deaths
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has accused President Goodluck Jonathan of taking political advantage of calamities that have befallen Nigeria under his watch, saying giving 5 million Naira to each family that lost a relative in the Immigration recruitment exercise after one year is not only belated but aimed at currying votes.
In a statement issued in Lagos on Saturday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party wondered why it took the President all of one year to act on the promise he made to the families, adding that but for the forthcoming elections, the President would have simply ignored the families, in his usual style.

10 Harsh Realities that Help You Grow
Email
Character and wisdom are sculpted over time. They come with loss, lessons, and triumphs. They come after doubts, second guesses, and exploring unknowns. If there were a definitive path to happiness and success, everyone would be on it. The seeds of your progress are planted in your past failures. Your best stories will come from overcoming your greatest struggles. Your praises will be birthed from your pains. So keep standing, keep learning, and keep living.All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming.
—Helen Keller
Over the past decade Angel and I have dealt with several severe hardships, including the sudden death of a sibling, the loss of a best friend to illness, betrayal from a business partner, and an unexpected breadwinning employment layoff. These experiences were brutal. Each of them, unsurprisingly, knocked us down and kept us down for a while. But when our time of mourning was over after each tragedy, we pressed forward, stronger, and with a greater understanding and respect for life.
So my challenge to you today is this: Start looking at life’s harsh realities and toughest challenges as friends that are going to help you grow.
Here are some thoughts to consider…
