This sounds very interesting to say the least as staff at a primary school are getting used to seeing double because morning roll-call reveals that almost half the pupils in one class are twins. Of the 25 youngsters in Year Six at St Anne’s Church of England school in Waterfoot, near Bacup, Lancs, in England, there are five sets of twins with two being identical. And in every case the elder twin is smaller than their sibling – "and all five pairs have an older brother or stepbrother", their class teacher, Kim Kirk says. He says even though they sometimes trick him, he has managed to identify some with the length of their hair, but some twins are too alike he still can’t differentiate.

EVEN IF YOU STAB IT WITH A SHARP KNIFE, YOU CAN'T DAMAGE IPHONE 6

This dude Marques Brownlee uploaded a video on youtube, he was for real, putting what alleges is the display for a 4.7-inch iPhone 6 through abuse and torture. He stabbed and did all he could to spoil the face of the iPhone 6… but he couldn’t.
In the video uploaded by Brownlee, he puts the iPhone 6 display through a quick scratch test using a pocket knife and a set of keys. When he’s unable to leave so much as a tiny scratch on the panel’s surface, he moves on to a bend test bending it more than 90 degrees, failing to do any damage to it on any count.

PROMINENT HUMAN RIGHT ACTIVIST BAMIDELE ATURU DIES AT 49

One of Nigeria’s foremost human rights lawyers, Bamidele Aturu, is dead. Mr Aturu, known for his commitment to championing human rights and constitutionalism, died in a Lagos hospital on Wednesday evening after a brief illness. Associates of the deceased confirmed his death.
The late lawyer was one of the founding members of a political group committed to pursuing deep-rooted democratic principles and holding those in power accountable to the governed – Democratic Alternative.
He came to prominence as a fighter against power abuses when, as a member of the National Youth Service Corps, he refused to shake the hand of a military administrator of Niger State, Col. Lawan Gwadabe, in 1988 during his NYSC passing out parade declaring that the military had caused great harm to the democratic aspirations of Nigerians.
Mr Aturu studied law at the University of Ife, and devoted much of his legal practice to representing marginalised or oppressed individuals and groups.
He was nominated as a member of the ongoing national confab, but he renounced his membership, arguing that the conference was designed to achieve nothing.
KESHI DEMANDS N10m A MONTH BEFORE SIGNING A NEW CONTRACT

Stephen Keshi has reportedly demanded a significant salary raise before he puts pen to paper on a new contract to remain as Super Eagles coach. Keshi, who announced last week that his contract with theNigeria Football Federation had expired after the Super Eagles crashed out of the World Cup following their 2-0 defeat by France, told President Goodluck Jonathan that he will sign a new deal if the NFF agrees to pay him N10m a month, double his initial pay of N5m a month in his contract.
Africanfootball.com reported that Keshi made the demand when he met with Jonathan at the Aso Rock Villa in Abuja on arrival from the World Cup in Brazil. He was also said to have demanded that his new salary be paid upfront to avoid the delays he suffered in the previous deal, as well as the recall of his former assistant Sylvanus Okpalla.

"He also wanted what he called a free hand as regards his team selection and preparations, saying he no longer wishes to deal with the technical committee.He also wanted Okpalla back to his backroom staff.
"The President has assured him that his demands will be considered."
Meanwhile, Keshi pocketed a total of $300,000 when he led Nigeria to the last 16 of the World Cup, africanfootball.com has learned.
He reportedly got $260,000 as appearance fee for the World Cup
NATIONAL UNION OF TEACHER'S STRIKE SET FOR 10 JULY
Schools in England and Wales face disruption as the NUT go on strike on 10 July.
Christine Blower, the union's general secretary, said it was a "last resort". "For teachers, performance related pay, working until 68 for a full pension and heavy workload for 60 hours a week, is unsustainable," she said. The Department for Education said there was "no justification" for striking. The NUT leader said that next month's strike date had been chosen to "cause minimum disruption to examinations" - and that "we deeply regret the disruption it causes parents and pupils".
WORKLOAD
The teachers' union has been in talks with the government over its dispute over pay, pensions and workload.But Ms Blower said the talks were "only about the implementation of government policies, not about the fundamental issues we believe to be detrimental to education and the profession".
A spokeswoman for the Department for Education said that talks were still ongoing and there was no justification for a strike.
"Ministers have also met frequently with the unions and will continue to do so".
Further strike action will only disrupt parents' lives, hold back children's education and damage the reputation of the profession,"
said the Department for Education spokeswoman.
"We know that the vast majority of our teachers and school leaders are hardworking and dedicated professionals.That is why we are giving teachers more freedoms than ever and cutting unnecessary paperwork and bureaucracy. In fact, teaching has never been more attractive, more popular or more rewarding".
IF YOU'RE GONNA DO SOMETHING WITHOUT LOVE, DON'T DO IT AT ALL
Many at times, people get into relationships and end up getting broken. Relationship is like a door, love like the key, if you don't know what the key is, you might end up breaking into that door and getting kicked out.
Love is not just a "magical sensation" you feel when you meet Mr or Miss Perfect. That MAGICAL SENSATION does not pop up in a twinkle of an eye, as a tree groweth from a seed so does love groweth from strangers to friends, to close friends, to a relationship and then finally marriage which is the end product.
LOVE IS UNCONDITIONAL
Scenario: a father loves his teenage son; but when he finds out his beloved son raped his 3 year old sister, that love was diminished. Is that conditional or not conditional?
This all boils down to why most relationships do not last long. The guy has expectations from the girl and vise versa which makes the relationship crash down to ashes. People have different personalities that blend together to make a perfect relationship.
Love is about accepting people the way they are not regarding their flaws. The more you expect things, the more you get disappointed, just like in the scenario given above. Unconditional love never fades even though that relationship does not exist anymore.
LOVE is TRUSTWORTHY
Scenario 2: LIES
Lies can grow from telling your partner you like a food when you don't actually do, to telling him/her that you are busy with your studies or other positive things, when you are actually entertaining your lover. This is a sign of a relationship based in need.
It takes years to trust, seconds to break trust and forever to regain trust.
Solution: Be HONEST
Love is truthful. Lying comes from fear. If you want a loving relationship, 'Truth' should not be an option, its best when its a habit. Always.
LOVE IS TOLERANT
Solution: Be vulnerable.
A truly loving relationship will bear the test of the truth. Be honest about what you are feeling, and you will soon see the true nature of your relationship. Tell your partner how you feel — on a regular basis, whenever feelings come up. Don’t try to change them; express your feelings with the goal of being totally transparent, of showing yourself exactly as you are. Recognize the fear at the root of your tendency not to speak up, and allow yourself to feel it. By doing so, you will begin to release the emotional charge that causes resentment, and to replace it with love.
Be the partner you want to find, like they say "love your neighbour as you love yourself"
