"WHIZKID" SOLVES 350YR OLD PUZZLE

Nah! not the 'Pakurumo' whizkid. This is a mathematical genius. He is only 16 and has already made history. He solved a 350 year old puzzle set by Isaac Newton. The schoolboy, from Dresden, Germany, solved two fundamental particle dynamics theories which physicists have previously been able to calculate only by using powerful computers. His solutions mean that scientists can now calculate the flight path of a thrown ball and then predict how it will hit and bounce off a wall.Shouryya only came across the problems during a school trip to Dresden University where professors claimed they were uncrackable.'I just asked myself, 'Why not?',' explained Shouryya.'I think it was just schoolboy naivety. I didn't believe there couldn't be a solution,'...

MEET NIGERIA'S MOST WANTED MAN

THE BBC has profiled the details of the leader of the dreaded BH. Read further: The leader of the militant Islamist group Boko Haram is said to be a fearless loner, a complex, paradoxical man – part intellectual, part gangster. Fondly called imam or leader by his followers, Abubakar Muhammad Shekau was born in Shekau village in Nigeria's north-eastern state of Yobe. Some say he is 34 or 35, others that he may be 43 – the uncertainty adds to the myths surrounding Nigeria's most wanted man. It is a chilling account of the man, who once said "I enjoy killing anyone that God commands me to kill – the way I enjoy killing chickens and rams," after a bombing in Kano. Mr Shekau is said to have met his predecessor in Maiduguri, capital of Borno...

THE BOOK THAT WILL SHAKE THE FOUNDATION OF CHRISTIANITY-IRAN

A leather-bound religious text, thought to date from the fifth century but discovered only 12 years ago, will cause the collapse of Christianity worldwide, Iran has claimed.

AIRFORCE ONE AIRFARE: $179,750 PER HOUR!

It is probably the most expensive in the world. And why not? Afterall it has on board one of the most powerful men in the world(if not the most powerful). Here the full text of the report: "It is unclear how the White House designates travel that is not directly related to a governmental or political function because of traditional reluctance to address this matter," the report said. Vacations count as official travel. Information about the cost of presidential flights is scarce, according to the report. But earlier studies from Congress andthe Government Accountability Office offer a glimpse of the cost of several major trips in the past. For example, a European trip in 1989 cost the Air Force $1 millionand a trip to Hawaii in 1990 cost$1.5...

THE VOICE OF MY HEART

Sometimes i question the reason behind our very existence. Do we really live to die? Why did a two day old baby have to die? Why did he come in the first day? To spend two days? Someone once told me he couldn't fathom why he chose to be born in Nigeria. Could we really have chosen where we were born? Sometimes i wonder why those who work so hard earn so little. Someone once said "the more you sweat the less you earn". It baffles me how greedy people can be. How insensitive we can be to others' needs, how uncaring we can be about our brothers' welfare. We see and look the other way, we amass and gather only to surrender all willingly or otherwise at death's feet. There are things i yet do not understand about fate...who decides it?where was it decided? The man who say he's destined...

CHELSEA WINS 2011/2012 CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

After a torturous 120 minutes of football Chelsea FC claims this season's Champions League title. This is Chelsea's first CL title, and they won it in style. Bayern had everything going for them, they are playing at their home ground, has one of the best goalkeeper in the world a fiery stike force in Robben, Gomes and Ribery. I guess all these was not enough to clinch them the title even with a Chelsea team missing the services of their enigmatic captain John Terry who got the marching order against Barcelona during the semis. Bayern had the most possession 64% to 56% at a time, had the most corners 16 to Chelsea's 1, had the most shot at goal. But Chelsea is destined to carry the day. A late Drogba header gave the blues the equalizer, Cech...
