At least seven civilians have been killed and eight wounded by shelling in the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi.

A hospital official told Reuters news agency on Saturday that the shelling had taken place on Thursday and Friday in residential areas close the frontlines in Benghazi, which has seen heavy fighting in some neighbourhoods over the past two years.
Forces loyal to military commander Khalifa Haftar launched a campaign against Islamists and other opponents in Benghazi in 2014.
Haftar’s forces made substantial gains earlier this year, but fighting on the edges of the city has continued.
A special forces’ spokesman, Fadel al-Hassi, said shelling over the past two days had come from the Sabri and Souq al-Hut districts in northern Benghazi, where Haftar’s opponents have been holding out. The claim could not immediately be verified.
Earlier this week jets pounded Sabri and Souq al-Hut and at least six men from Haftar’s forces were killed in fighting on the ground.
Libya has been in turmoil since veteran ruler Muammar Gaddafi was forced from power in an uprising five years ago.
United Nations-backed unity government is designed to replace two rival governments that have competed for power from Tripoli and from the east since 2014, backed by complex alliances of armed groups.

There may be days when you get up in the morning and things aren’t the way you had hoped they would be.
That’s when you have to tell yourself that things will get better. There are times when people disappoint you and let you down.
But those are the times when you must remind yourself to trust your own judgments and opinions, to keep your life focused on believing in yourself.
There will be challenges to face and changes to make in your life, and it is up to you to accept them.
Constantly keep yourself headed in the right direction for you. It may not be easy at times, but in those times of struggle you will find a stronger sense of who you are.
So when the days come that are filled with frustration and unexpected responsibilities, remember to believe in yourself and all you want your life to be.
Because the challenges and changes will only help you to find the goals that you know are meant to come true for you.

Two former Nigerian ministers, Mr Femi Fani-Kayode and Nenadi Usman, are to remain in prison till Monday, July 4, as a Federal High Court sitting in Lagos has reserved ruling on their bail applications.
Fani-Kayode and Usman were the directors of Media and Finance respectively of the Peoples Democratic Party Campaign Organisation in the 2015 general election.
Both men alongside Danjuma Yusuf and Jointrust Dimensions Nigeria Limited were on June 28 arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission before Justice M. Hassan on a 17-count charge bordering on conspiracy, stealing, corruption and making cash payments exceeding the amount authorised by law.
The accused persons are alleged to have diverted about 4.9 billion Naira belonging to the Federal Government of Nigeria for political and personal uses.
They had pleaded not guilty.
Consequently, their counsel, Ferdinand Orbih, Ifedayo Adedipe and S. I. Ameh moved the motion for bail, having filed separate applications in which they asked the court to release their clients on bail.
But the prosecuting counsel, Rotimi Oyedepo, said he needed time to respond to the applications.
Justice Hassan consequently adjourned proceedings to July 1 for hearing of the bail applications.
According to Channels Television’s judiciary correspondent, Shola Soyele, at the resumed hearing on Friday, counsel to the defendants argued the applications.
Mr Orbih asked the court to admit the first accused person to bail based on self-recognition pending the hearing and determination of the charges preferred against her.
He also prayed the court to grant her bail on very liberal terms. Adedipe and Ndukwe aligned themselves with Orbih.
However, the prosecution counsel, Nkereuwem Mark Anana, opposed the applications.
However, he stated that “where the court decides to exercise its discretion in favour of the defendants, it should impose conditions that will compel them to attend trial”.
Justice Hassan consequently adjourned to July 4, 2016 for ruling.

Google is better known as a search engine but it has evolved over the years and now has a number of features some people are not aware of.
The first feature is “Google Definitions” and all you need to do to use this feature is simply type “Define” then “the word” for example it could be Define Technology.
Next you would see is a top box with a standard dictionary definition and as much information as possible about that word including parts of speech.
Next is “Google Translations” a useful tool to help you understand other languages easily. All you need to do is type translate along with the “word” to your preferred “language”.
As an example you may try translate “Love” to Hausa” and it will give you the result as SO. So you can see, this is super useful feature for frequent travellers or language enthusiasts.
Another tool is Google Conversions. Simply type the conversion you want to do and you will get the result instantly. For example, you can type “Convert 10,200 Megabytes to Gigabytes” and it will give you the result.
“Public Data Explorer” has tons of information on public statistics which makes it useful for students and researchers.
For example, you can go there and search for say “Life Expectancy in Nigeria” and the results will pop-up.
However, some results on Nigeria are quite outdated and it requires relevant Government agencies reaching out to Google with newer data and statistics.

or if you cant find the post types and slug in the above file, you can check it in functions.php file located in your themes folder. Note that this depends from theme to theme, some developers put that in the functions.php file while some link to another file and insert the code there.
However, most likely it would be in the functions.php file if you cant find it in theme-init.php.

You just need to find the "register_post_type" function for that particular custom post type.

'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'binary-options-broker' ),

After uploading make sure you refresh your permalinks.

Nollywood Actress Queeneth Agbor has revealed how her Igbo Boyfriend slapped her silly because she kissed a guy in a movie she acted and her boyfriend saw the movie scene. "I won’t be dating an Ibo guy again; they are possessive and could be violent," she stressed.
The Micro Biology graduate of University of Calabar said the way and manner the last Ibo guy she dated treated her dealt the death knell on her ever dating any Nigerian man of Ibo extradition.
Speaking on her ordeal with the said Ibo boyfriend, she said:
‘We were watching one of the movies I featured in together in his house, his mood suddenly changed when the movie got to the part I was kissing an actor. He kept a straight face but the burning anger was obvious. He couldn’t hold it anymore when another kissing scene came up, he looked at me and said, “So you kissed” by the time I looked at him, he gave me a huge, dirty slapp. I had to run for my life. I thank God I left the place alive.’
Due to the love and passion she has for acting, she moved to Lagos to pursue her dream by enrolling in intensive acting classes for three months at a film school. She is now trying to make a name for herself in the movie industry, without her Igbo slapping boyfriend. Lol!

Samsung’s upcoming flagship device, the Samsung Galaxy Note 6 is expected to be launched in early August, according to famed tipster, Evan Blass.
Samsung traditionally unveils its new Galaxy Note variants in the fall of every year, and Blass had previously said the phone would be  released in the United States around the 15^th of  August. Samsung generally releases its products in South Korea first unless it is being unveiled in a trade show and thus the delayed launch in the US.
Blass also said the device could be named Note 7 instead of Note 6.

Mulatto actress cum model, Carol Ekanem, is an actress to reckon with in Nollywood. She is not only bold and beautiful but also downright outspoken in her views in life.
Single but not searching, Carol, who made her debut on the set of “Deadly Care” a couple of years back, speaks glowingly about her romance with wave- making musician, Tu face Idibia and other men who have been in and out of her life, especially her latest heartthrob.
Background
The fledging actress who has her mother as her role model said she decided to take her mother’s family name, Ekanem, as her stage name because of her love and respect for her mother.
“ My mother is from Akwa Ibom and my father is from Scotland, Ekanem is my mother’s family name. I decided to use Ekanem as my stage name because of the love and respect I have for my mother. I come from a Christian and disciplined home and a royal family at the same time. I have two younger brothers and I am the only girl in my family, I was born on June 26 1980s and I am presently in my third year in University of Calabar, studying Environmental Protection Management and Geography and Regional Planning”.
Acting
Like many of her colleagues, Carol developed interest in acting at a very tender age. “ I discovered that I love acting while in primary school. I was a member of the cultural troupe in my school and I did very well in acting”. She said her love for acting made her to seek out Rita Dominic who introduced her to Chico Ejiro. “ Like I always say, you have to try in life if you want to get somewhere. I tried getting to Rita Dominic and she introduced me to Chico Ejiro whom I started my first movie, “Deadly Care” with. I played a major role in the movie and that was in March 2004. I acted alongside UK and Jim Iyke and it was great”.
I was never harassed
When asked if she has ever been harassed in the movie industry, Carol puts on a bewitching smilebefore finally saying no and attributes her success to God’s work.“ Harassed? Me? No, I was never harassed by anybody. No producer, director or actor has ever harassed me. It was God, everything has to do with God and the way I carried myself. Funny enough, I went late for the audition, yes, I could remember that day vividly. When I was called for the audition, I told them I will come the next day. By the time I got there, they told me that they have finished the audition and I said okay. But before I left, Chico asked me read some lines. He auditioned me immediately and I was scared because there were many people there.
But before I knew it, they just gave me a script and asked me to go through it and said that is your character. You are playing a lead role with Jim Iyke and I could not believe it. I was really shocked because when I entered at first for the audition, I’ve lost hope of getting the role because I came late. But at the end of it all, to God be the glory, I started my first movie and I am doing well till date”.
Relationship
The fast rising actress is ready to tell anybody that cares to listen how much she loves her Romeo whom she described as wonderful and God fearing. “ My love life is wonderful, I have a boyfriend, he is wonderful but I will not tell you who he is because he knows himself. I love him so much and he loves me too. He respects and adores me, I am enjoying my love life”. Stops and laugh continuing, she said, “ the first time I fell in love was good but it was not special but it was something I have learned from. But right now, I am in love with a man and when he said so we would walk down the aisle. Right now, I don’t want to rush him for anything, I am still taking my time. He has proposed to me but I don’t want to rush him all the same.
You know, I don’t want to get married and get divorce at the same time, I am not into that. So, I want to be very sure of what I am doing. Right now, what I am considering is that we should have a very strong faith in God, which is the first thing because if we have that every other thing shall follow. You know my ideal man is a God fearing man that sees me for who I am and not because I am an actress or beautiful. A guy that can tolerate, listen and very hard working. In fact”, she moverss closer to you and said in a whisper “ I ‘ve found it all in my boyfriend”.
My affair with Tu Face Idibia
The stunning actress, whose sizzling romance with award-winning musician, Tu Face made front page in many soft sell magazines finally opens up on her affairs with the Musician. She described Tu Face as a very good friend of hers while maintaining that they are still good friends. “ Tu Face I and are still very much friends, I am happy that he is who he is and I know that he is happy that I am who I am today.
I don’t have anything against him. Many people believe that something went wrong in the affair but I am telling you now that nothing went wrong, it is not as if we call our friendship off. Yes, we decided to part but not as if we just said it’s over but we just found out that it was over and that was all. Nothing went wrong and we are still very good friends today and I think I like it like that”.
Heartbroken
“Yes, I ve been heart-broken by someone but I guess every lady in this world has been heartbroken before. I know I have been heartbroken but I can’t remember the time”. When asked if she has broken a man’s heart before, Carol said: “I don’t know unless you have to interview my ex-boyfriends. Laughs, Tu Face did not break my heart and I did not break his heart. But I think you are going too deep into my private life and I don’t want to talk about that. If anybody wants to know so much about me, I think we should all come together and talk about it”.
I am not a snub
The soft-spoken actress said she does not owe anybody apology for the way she chooses to leave her life. “People say I am a snub, well, I am sorry I was not born to talk to everybody in this world, neither was I born to flash teeth at everybody in the world. There is time for everything, if people think I am a snub, fine, I don’t have to apologize to anybody, I really don’t have to”.

My style
“To me style means looking good, being presentable and being decent. I love African fabrics a lot and I love to wear them. Again, my style also depends on the occasion, I dress as the occasion demands”.
Embarrassing moments
Carol goes philosophical when asked to recount embarrassing moments in her thriving career. “ I don’t think I have had any embarrassing period in my life, everyday I’ve learnt a lesson. If there is no disappointments and no lessons I don’t think I will be a human being and I don’t think I will be alive. So I am very happy for every disappointments and lessons I ve learnt everyday and there is actually no embarrassing moments”.

After much brouhaha, with 2face Idibia's wife, Annie and the sister of his 2nd babymama, Pero Adeniyi, the Nigerian music star and the later reunited yesterday at the fun birthday party that was for their first child Ehis Idibia who turned recently 10.
The photos released online, shows they were such a happy family together, but it only lasted for a while.

Anand Prakash, a security engineer in Bangalore, India, said in a blog post on his site that he would have hacked into any facebook account through the forgot password section.
Normally, hackers’ uses what is known as brute-force attack through software to guess numbers or codes for password reset until it gets the right one. However, on other versions of the facebook platform they used “rate-limit” on the code they send which only gives limited chances to input the code.
Apparently, in the new version of facebook, they forgot to add the “rate-limit” feature, which is what Anand Prakash, the hacker discovered.
After reporting the bug to Facebook on February 22, he was rewarded with $15,000 on March 2 by Facebook for his troubles.
