Intel Reports Progress on Patch-Related Performance Issues.

Intel appears to have encountered some daylight in its struggle to fix performance issues related to the Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities. The company has identified the root cause on its older Broadwell and Haswell platforms, Navin Shenoy, general manager of Intel's data center group, wrote in an online post earlier this week. Intel has begun rolling out a solution to its industry partners for testing, Shenoy said, but the company urged OEMs, cloud providers, software vendors, end users and others to stop deployment of existing versions, warning that they are vulnerable to higher-than-normal reboots and other unpredictable behavior. "I apologize for any disruption this change in guidance may cause," Shenoy wrote. "The security of our products is critical for Intel, our customers and partners, and for me, personally." The company has been working around the clock to resolve the issues, he added. Intel has been under fire for its initial response

Don’t feel guilty, working mum.

It is common to blame parents especially the working mother for the breakdown of moral values in the society these days. An unarguable fact, after all it is the duty of parents to bring up their children to be worthy individuals of the society.However, in trying to figure out what happened to our social values, several other things would have to be considered such as the way the mother herself was raised. The complaint is that the mother especially abandons her family in search of material wealth. And why should that be? We question why does she prefer wealth to her children?In answer, one could say that although she was likely brought up in the era when mother stayed home with children, she still feels that something is missing in her life – we should remember that those times past which we glorify were periods when one man married as many wives as he wanted and had many children. Many of today’s working mums may come from such homes where getting attention from a father is as d

We won’t allow Argentina beat us again, says Musa.

Super Eagles and Leicester City striker Ahmed Musa entered the Nigeria history books when he became the first player to score two goals in a single match at the World Cup against Argentina on June 25, at Brazil 2014 World Cup. The former Kano Pillars star is not bothered that the Super Eagles have been paired again with Argentina at the 2018 World Cup, saying they will do everything possible to win no matter the opposition. ‘It doesn’t matter who we come up against; we’ll be giving it our best shot at the World Cup. We’ll be trying our hardest in every match, no matter the opposition,” Musa told fifa.com. ”We need to set our sights high. Nigeria want to do more than just get past the group phase. We want to make the quarter-finals and even the semis. Why not?” Musa was on the books of CSKA Moscow for four years and hopes to return to Russia with the Nigerian national team this summer. ”I hope I get selected. The World Cup is a very important event for any player,” a

Cash, conflict and Kagame top AU summit agenda.

Feted for turning around tiny, conflict-torn Rwanda, President Paul Kagame will have to tackle the far larger task of reforming the African Union as he takes over as chairman at its main annual summit. The reform agenda proposed by Kagame and backed by AU leadership will dominate a summit in Addis Ababa on Sunday and Monday, where heads of state and government are also expected to make a joint denunciation of Donald Trump’s reported slur on their countries. Representing 55 countries, leaders will also juggle questions crucial to the bloc, such as how to pay its bills and how to address the many crises gripping the continent. While those issues have a long, familiar history of debate within the AU, analysts and an African diplomat who spoke to AFP say the body is split over the massive reform agenda. “I think Kagame will do everything possible. He wants to leave his name here,” the diplomat said on condition of anonymity. “At the end of the day, everyone thinks the

Housemate reality show: A new world for celebrities on screen.

Celebrities like their comfort zones and would do anything to stay in there. But here is a show, a new reality television show that has taken 12 acting, music and comic celebrities out of their comfort zones into a home, where they would co-habit and be placed on series of daily challenges and tasks aimed at enhancing their entrepreneurial acumen. Powered by Kemi Otegbade’s Heartlink Ventures and sponsored by FlyforValue and Amen Estate, among others, the show, Celebrity Housemates, kicked off on January 12 with the 12 celebrity housemates.

Shaku Shaku: The origin and enablers of the viral street dance.

Olamide took the fourth edition of his annual OLIC concert to the mainland for the first time; it’s obvious that the rap superstar has outgrown Eko Hotel’s overused Convention Center. The timely relocation granted ‘home advantage,’ of sorts, not only to the King of the Streets but also to the underground acts he customarily gives a platform to, as they performed in their natural habitat. In 2017, one of those acts was DJ Real, who’d built a solid reputation for hosting mixtapes containing the biggest street anthems, and for his work on local radio. The diminutive DJ is not to be mistaken for Mr. Real, the artist behind the street anthem “Legbegbe” (featuring Idowest, Obadice and Kelvin Chuks), who also performed at OLIC 4 and has played a significant role in the spread of a new viral dance called “shaku shaku”. Shaku shaku is a dance that’s performed by crossing your arms in front of each other at the wrist, widening your legs slightly, and launching into a graceful half-gallop.

Yabatech in dialogue with NBC, starts radio transmission soon.

The Management of Yaba College of Technology says it is dialoguing with the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) to resolve a disagreement delaying take-off of the college’s radio station. Dr Charles Oni, Director, Public Relations Unit, disclosed this to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Saturday in Lagos. He said that the conflict borders on the use of the licence in both campuses of the college at Yaba and Epe, for which the college duly applied. “We have an area of conflict with NBC. Initially, when we applied for the licence, it was intended for both campuses. “But now, NBC is saying otherwise. We are trying to sort it out,’’ Oni said. According to him, the management has completed a new digitalised studio for the radio station and will begin test transmission soon. He said that the fully digitalised radio studio, with state-of-the-art gadgets, was built and funded by the college. Oni said that the radio station would be used to train students in the
