A wearable Device GyroGlove Promises to Help Steady Hand Tremors by Using an Old Technology—Gyroscopes. by Simon Parkin When he was a 24-year-old medical student living in London, Faii Ong was assigned to care for a 103-year-old patient who suffered from Parkinson’s, the progressive neurological condition that affects a person’s ease of movement. After watching her struggle to eat a bowl of soup, Ong asked another nurse what more could be done to help the woman. “There’s nothing,” he was grimly told. The GyroGlove, designed for Parkinson’s patients, uses gyroscopes to resist a person’s hand movement, thus dampening any tremors. Ong, now 26, didn’t accept the answer. He began to search for a solution that might offset the tremulous symptoms of Parkinson’s, a disease that affects one in 500 people, not through drugs but physics. After evaluating the use of elastic bands, weights, springs, hydraulics, and even soft robotics, Ong settled on a simpler solution, one that he recogn

Carlos Tevez finished 2016 as the highest-paid footballer in the world. See Top 20 The Argentine striker has been offered a world-record £650,000-per-week wage to join Shanghai Shenhua and is expected to complete the transfer in the coming days. Another South American, Oscar, is in second place. The midfielder has signed for Shanghai SIPG in a £60million deal, which will see him earn a whopping £400,000-per-week. Unsurprisingly, both players moved to Chinese Super League, where clubs are willing to pay outrageous amounts to footballers – a development that is seen as a threat to the English Premier League. Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi occupy the third and fifth position respectively, although the Barcelona star is expected to sign a bumper new deal in the New Year.

1. Reduce Your Risk of Tumors Capsaicin has been shown to activate cell receptors in your intestinal lining, creating a reaction that lowers the risk of tumors. Mice genetically prone to develop tumors had reduced tumors and extended lifespans when fed capsaicin, and the researchers believe the compound may turn off an over-reactive receptor that could trigger tumor growth. Capsaicin has both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and has even shown some promise for cancer treatment. Research has shown, for instance, that capsaicin suppresses the growth of human prostate cancer cells while leaving normal cells unharmed. In one study, about 80 percent of the prostate cancer cells in mice were killed by capsaicin, while treated tumors shrank to about one-fifth the size of untreated tumors. Capsaicin has also been shown to be effective against breast, pancreatic, and bladder cancer cells, although you might need to eat unrealistically large amounts of capsaicin to get such b

FG Hopes to Raise a Total of N565bn from Recovered Loot and Fines to be Paid by MTN Nigeria to Fund the 2017 Budget

The Federal Government hopes to raise a total of N565bn from recovered loot and fines to be paid by MTN Nigeria to fund the 2017 budget. The Minister of Budget and National Planning, Udo Udoma, explained on Monday in Abuja during the public presentation of the 2017 budget breakdown that the disruptions to oil production and falling crude prices had made it impossible for the government to meet majority of its revenue projections. The event was attended by the ministers of Health, Prof Isaac Adewole; Finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun; Agriculture, Chief Audu Ogbeh; Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed; and Petroleum Resources, Ibe Kachikwu, among others. Providing useful insights into how the looted funds would be recovered and used, the Director-General, Budget Office of the Federation, Mr. Ben Akabueze, said that N288.6bn out of the N565bn would come from recovered looted funds. He said, “With respect to the looted funds for the revenue profile in the 2017 budget, it is a total of

Foreign Airlines Operating in The Country are Considering Gradual Withdrawal of Operations From Nigerian routes

Some foreign airlines operating in the country are considering gradual withdrawal of operations from Nigerian routes over inability to fully repatriate funds that are stuck in the economy. The funds, being proceeds of ticket sales, have again accumulated to $400 million (N160 billion) as at November, after the airlines repatriated $300 million between June and September 19, 2016. Part of the worry, The Guardian learnt, is the alleged unfavourable policy of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), which mandated the airlines to sell tickets at the rate of N308 to $1, but to have them repatriated at N386 to $1. Efforts to get the CBN to react to the claims failed. Several calls and text messages to the Acting Director of Communication, Isaac Okorafor, were replied with “I’m in a meeting”. As at press time yesterday, the CBN was yet to react. Sources told The Guardian yesterday that some of the airlines might, therefore, begin to quit routes like Abuja, Port Harcourt and Kano “to cut l

Marseille to make Mikel highest-paid player

Struggling French Ligue 1 side Marseille may have succeeded in convincing out-of-favour Chelsea midfielder Mikel Obi to shun big-money move to the Chinese Super League to help revive the club. Former Los Angeles Dodgers owner Frank McCourt, who bought Marseille in October, had promised to invest heavily in the January transfer window to help manager Rudi Garcia build a team that could be European champions. Les Phoceens were ready to rescue Mikel from his Chelsea nightmare in the summer but the player’s reported £3.4m-a-year salary reportedly aborted the move. With McCourt ready to spend in January – and Mikel yet to play a single game for Chelsea since the beginning of the season – reports in France on Sunday claimed Marseille were ready to sign the 29-year-old. Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr also confirmed Mikel, whose contract at Stamford Bridge expires at the end of the season, was in talks with Marseille. “I saw him in London. He is in advanced discussions with OM. Marseille

Fans Name Goalpost Man Of Match In West Ham Hull City Clash. Premier League. See Why

Fans of West Ham FC on Saturday had no doubt about the star of their 1-0 win over Hull City, voting the goalpost the Man of the Match. Hull hit the frame of the goal three times during the English Premier League match, before Mark Noble’s disputed penalty kick sealed the points for West Ham. Noble had earlier headed against his own goalpost while Dieumerci Mbokani and Andrew Robertson also hit the woodwork. A man-of-the-match poll on West Ham’s official Twitter account put the goalpost on its shortlist, and 57% of 4,700 respondents gave it their vote. Hull manager Mike Phelan just about managed to see the funny side of a result that sees his side slip to the bottom of the Premier League standings. “The goalpost is there to stand in the way of a goal and it did that a few times today (Saturday),” he said. “You have to have a wry smile on your face or you’d be very, very depressed.” West Ham’s penalty kick was awarded after Tom Huddlestone was adjudged to have brought down
