Mandatory Credit: Mark J. Rebilas/File Photo. Microsoft Corp co-founder Paul Allen, the man who persuaded school-friend Bill Gates to drop out of Harvard to start what became the world’s biggest software company, died on Monday at the age of 65, his family said. Allen left Microsoft in 1983, before the company became a corporate juggernaut, following a dispute with Gates, but his share of their original partnership allowed him to spend the rest of his life and billions of dollars on yachts, art, rock music, sports teams, brain research and real estate. Allen died from complications of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a type of cancer, the Allen family said in a statement. In early October, Allen had revealed he was being treated for the non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, ...

Chelsea team to face Southampton: Morata & Cahill dropped as Hazard returns in FA Cup semi-final

The FA Cup is the final chance for Chelsea to win some silverware this season and at least put a bit of gloss on what has been a slightly disappointing season across the other competitions.
With the top four Premier League spots maybe out of reach for the rest of the campaign, winning the FA Cup could be the first time Antonio Conte wins a cup competition as a manager and so he will go to the full strength of his squad.
Marcos Alonso is still suspended, but it is likely that Emerson Palmieri will not start the match and instead you could see Davide Zappacosta start the game in the left wing-back role.
Up front might be where the biggest decision will come, and Olivier Giroud's performances might warrant a start for the Frenchman over Alvaro Morata, with Eden Hazard and Willian likely to come back into the side after being rested against Burnley on Thursday night.
At the same time, Cesc Fabregas will also likely be the man in the midfield next to N'Golo Kante, with Tiemoue Bakayoko taking his place back on the bench after his start at Turf Moor.
At the back, Thibaut Courtois will start in goal again with a potential trio of Andreas Christensen, Cesar Azpilicueta and Antonio Rudiger in front of him, and Gary Cahill could miss out.

Due to launch as Vaunt, the product had reached prototype stage and was reportedly a considerable improvement over rival designs - but ...

Curtailing National Assembly’s dictatorial tendency

Published  April 20, 2018 Bukola Ajisola, Victoria Island, Lagos State, bukymany@yahoo.com: The National Assembly comprising the Senate and the House of Representatives, constitutionally empowered to make laws and perform oversight functions, is gradually morphing into a dictatorial Frankenstein where members are gagged on rhetorical and omnibus House Rules. While no one should begrudge the two chambers for enforcing rules to guide parliamentary ethics in legislative business, the bias and tendentious application of such rules to members as the nation has witnessed lately is not only reprehensible but also exposes the underbelly of the heads of the two chambers as emperors with primordial missions to accomplish outside the extant legislative templates. This skewed legislative praxis is more pronounced in the Senate where the chamber has been partitioned into either pro-Saraki or pro-Buhari elements. Any infraction from the pro-Saraki bloc seems...

THE POWER OF HUMAN MIND

By Eric D. Nnaji T he human mind is like the eyes of the real person inside every human being, it can create different types of image in just a second, it is really what defines humans the big question is  what type of image do you as an individual allow to spend more than one second in the mind.   Therefore, humans get to chose who they really are by the type of image that stays longer in their mind (good or bad). 1. Do you know: Gossip   In order for a man to gossip you think negatively, not only that; you will have this negative memory and will have to it with other people. The bad thing with this is that the second you have a negative thought in your mind the biochemistry of your brain changes unlashing  cortisol  which is a stress hormone unlashing into the blood, which tends to weaken the immune system and limits the action of the white blood cells and increases the changes of infection and even promotes weight gain; all this from the hu...
