This Is Why Runaway Truck Ramps Are So Important

While they may be a bit of an eyesore, runaway truck ramps are extremely important in limiting the damage caused by out-of-control trucks.

Found around the world, the gravel filled ramps are most commonly found on the sides of motorways and near corners which can catch truckers off guard.

If you've ever wondered just how effective these gravel traps can be, then watch in awe as one brings a massive semi to a stop in just a few hundred feet.

Captured on a CCTV camera, a big rig can be seen  approaching a right hand bend far too hot. Unable to shed enough speed by braking around the turn, the driver makes the split-second decision to veer off into the runaway truck ramp.

As the truck hits the gravel, it is slowed down almost immediately and begins to fishtail before smashing into the concrete wall adjacent to the ramp. Remarkably, the truck didn't roll and the driver doesn't appear to have been injured.

Now if there wasn't such a ramp at this corner, a trail of devastation could have been left if the truck were to crash and roll on the busy motorway, putting the lives of dozens of other motorists at risk.

Nigerian Man who wanted to meet all his 5K FB followers, gets replies from Mark Zuckerbeberg, as he plans to meet him in Lagos

 

Back in May, LIB reported  about an Abuja based man, Gaius Chibueze, who said he wants to make history by being the first (and probably the only) person in the world to meet all his 5000 Facebook followers one-on-one (read here). Gauis then claimed he was determined to achieve this feat and had a roaster for the dates his followers can meet him in different states.

After news broke that Mark Zuckerberg had arrived in Lagos yesterday, Gaius shared a screenshot of a supposed chat he had via Facebook with him, where he requested for a one-one-one meet.
Although the billionaire Facebook founder didn't agree at first due to his busy schedule, he eventually gave a slight nod of approval when Gaius promised to get 100,000k shares to raise awareness on the social media site.

However, Gaius hopped on a night bus and should have arrived Lagos by now. The 100k shares hasn't also been achieved yet.

Reviews Tesla Gets Extension After Missing NHTSA Deadline For Autopilot Death Investigation

Tesla has been granted a one week extension by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration after missing a deadline for an information request relating to the Model S Autopilot death.

Joshua Brown died when his Model S crashed into a trailer truck after the Autopilot system failed to notice the white colored truck against the brightly-lit sky.

On July 8, the NHTSA sent an information request to Tesla to provide details about the company's alleged defects of the self-driving system's Forward Collision Warning and Automatic Braking systems.

Business Insider reports Tesla was given until August 26 to submit this information but failed to do so. It now has until September 2 to complete the request.

Missing deadlines is nothing new for the electric automaker. In fact, it's become rather notorious for it having delayed the launches of numerous models/variants in recent years.

Man City goalkeeper Hart completes his move to Torino

Man City transfer deadline news: The England keeper will make his Serie A debut a week on Sunday at Atalanta after tying up the deal.

 Hart poses with a Torino fan in Turin

Joe Hart has completed a season's loan to Torino and is travelling back to join up with the England squad again.

The out-of-favour Manchester City keeper flew out to Turin yesterday for a medical and to complete the deal, after being given special permission by the FA to leave England's training camp.

The deal is expected to see City continue to pay a large slice of his wages.

Hart was replaced in the City team by Willy Caballero in a shock move by manager Pep Guardiola at the start of the season, the new boss making it plain he wanted a keeper with better footwork.

And last week Guardiola moved for a more permanent replacement by picking up Claudio Bravo from Barcelona for £13.75million.

Bravo is lined up for his City debut in the Manchester derby a week on Saturday, while Hart is expected to make his Torino debut the following day at Atalanta.

FG Launches School-to-Work Scheme

By Bassey Inyang in Calabar

The Federal Government has launched the School-to-Work Scheme which  it noted, was designed to prepare children for after school employment

Launching the programme facilitated by the Federal Government under the National Directorate of Employment (NDE),in Calabar on Thursday evening, the Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr. Chris Ngige, said the scheme would provide the needed skills for young people in school for self-employment after they would have graduated from secondary school.

“It is pertinent to note that the STWS is aimed at introducing the concept of skills acquisition training very early to our youths. Secondary school students from JSS2 to JSS3 have been selected to participate in the pilot phase simultaneously running in the following states: Cross River, Kogi, Anambra, Bauchi, Katsina and Ondo states.

“This will enable them to acquire skills that will change their future in the absence of white collar jobs,” Ngige said.

The minister said the School-to-Work programme curriculum has been designed to deliver vocational, agricultural, entrepreneurial and life skill training to the trainees within two months vacation period.

Ngige said those who need up-skilling would be assisted during the next long vacation of the following year.

“I am convinced that the School-to-Work Scheme when fully implemented would have created a new army of young responsible Nigerians who are equiiped with 21st century skills and are very willing and prepared to take not just their own destinies in their hands, but that of this great country. “Their attitude to work, nation building and wealth creation would have been properly shaped to fully align with the change agenda of the APC-led Government at the centre,”
Ngige said.

'He can see my tweet'- Cristiano Ronaldo shades Gerard Pique after winning UEFA’s best player award

Barcelona defender Gerard Pique early this week trolled Real Madrid and Cristiano Ronaldo as he felt Real Madrid’s Champions League win last season was due to playing some “easy” teams in the run up to the final. When Pique, Shakira's husband was asked in a Twitter Q and A session; “what kind of draw do you want in this year’s Champions League? Pique’s response was:

“An easy group stage, Italy’s 3rd in the round of 16 (Roma), Germany’s 8th in the quarters (Wolfsburg), England’s 4th in semis (Manchester City) and the return leg always at home.”

These were the clubs Real Madrid played against at the group stage last year.



So on Thursday evening, after Cristiano Ronaldo was voted the best player in Europe, he was asked about Pique's dig at him and the club and he smartly replied;

"Well, I’m not going to answer,’ he told the El Larguero radio show. ‘What I can say to Pique is that he can see my tweet (with a) very pretty photo"

Taylor Swift and her boyfriend Tom Hiddleston have their first 'Major Fight,'

Singer Taylor Swift and her boyfriend, actor, Tom Hiddleston have had their first major fight. According to Us Weekly, Taylor Swift and Tom’s long, public honeymoon is over as they had their first major spat at the beginning of August.

A source close to Swift told the Us Weekly that the new couple had “a major argument” in the beginning of August, because “they weren’t spending as much time together.” 

In the beginning of their relationship, Swift and Hiddleston were photographed together every single day, looking very happy but now that he's filming his movie 'Thor' in Australia, they don't spend as much time together and its upsetting to both.

Read the report below..

Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston’s love story has reached its first conflict. In the new issue of Us Weekly, a source reveals the pair of two months had “a major argument” in early August. Explains the source of the 26-year-old “Wildest Dreams” singer, who split with Calvin Harris in early June, “They weren’t spending as much time together.”

The issues came from the 35-year-old actor’s busy schedule. Inseparable the first few weeks of their romance — after they were photographed making out near her Westerly, Rhode Island, manse June 14, they traveled from Nashville to England to Italy and finally to the Australian set of his superhero film Thor: Ragnarok — it became tough for them to pencil in face-to-face time, says a close Swift insider.

“There was so much going on so it was hard making their schedules work,” says the insider, “and they were upset they couldn’t see each other.”

“Tom is busier than her right now, so it’s been hard,” the close Swift insider admits of the singer, who wrapped her 85-date 1989 World Tour in December. “They’ve had some schedule issues, but things are otherwise fine. They are making it work.”

Manchester United's Paul Pogba poses with young fan as he takes stroll round city

The Manchester United midfielder was spotted out and about on another rainy Manchester day

 

 

Manchester United's Paul Pogba was once again the centre of attention as he took a walk round the city.
The former Juventus midfielder has been spotted out and about a number of times since returning to the Old Trafford club in a world record deal this summer.
Pogba was at San Carlo restaurant on Thursday evening, a familiar haunt for north-west footballers and his arrival there garnered interest.
That came after the French midfielder had braved the rain to go to Wagamama in the afternoon. The United man also stopped for a selfie with a young fan on his travels.
Having impressed on his second debut for the club , Pogba will be looking to grow into the Reds team when they take on Hull on Saturday.

"I think he was fantastic," boss Jose Mourinho said of his display against Southampton.
"And the fact that his first action was bad, losing an easy ball, giving a counter-attack to the opponent, a direct free-kick to the opponent, you can see the ego and the personality is so comfortable under that skin, as a star he is so confident how he plays.
"I think for 10 days work, first match of the season, not even 10 minutes of a friendly, I think he played phenomenal."
Three points at the KC Stadium will keep up United's perfect start to the season. The last time they won their first three league games was in 2011.

This woman says she's 15 months pregnant; doctor tells her 'you're just fat'

A mum-of-nine, who is convinced she is 15 months pregnant , has been told by a doctor that she's 'just fat.'

According to MirrorUK, Linda Reeves, 50, says she is certain a baby is growing outside her womb as she says she can feel it kicking and squirming.

But despite her strong conviction she's pregnant five scans have shown that there is nothing there.

She said one doctor has even told her she is just 'too fat' and another has said she has a mental health
problem and it's a phantom pregnancy.

But she refuses to give up and is holding out hope doctors will give her a CAT scan.

Linda said:

 "Nobody will take me seriously. I've had nine children and I know what it's like to feel a baby inside me.

"I've had all the symptoms of pregnancy - sickness, backache and tiredness. I am absolutely certain that there is a baby there, but it is growing in the wrong place."

One doctor told Linda her 'pregnancy' is simply due to overeating.

"He said I was just too fat. I was furious," she said.

"I may not be the slimmest person in the world but I've actually lost weight because I've been so stressed since all this started in May last year."

Linda says strangers regularly notice her protruding belly and ask when her baby is due.

She said:

"When I tell people I've been pregnant for 15 months they don't believe me. I don't blame them."

During a visit to her sister, Linda said she persuaded her sibling's GP to listen into her tummy with a Doppler machine.

"I heard the baby's heartbeat! I know that sound so well, how could I not recognise it," she said.

"If by some chance I am wrong, then I want to know exactly what is happening inside me. What if it's cancer? I have a right to be treated seriously."

The mum, whose children are aged between five and 24, is desperate for a full CT scan to discover exactly what is happening inside her.

What do you think is wrong with her?

Manchester United will not ask Jose Fonte to make future U-turn

Man Utd boss Jose Mourinho has been linked with Portuguese central defender Fonte but he won't be coming to Old Trafford

 

 

Fonte in action against United last Friday night

Manchester United will not be making a late bid to tempt Jose Fonte to make a U-turn and leave Southampton.
MEN Sport understands that the Reds are not interested in the 32-year-old central defender.
Manager Jose Mourinho has been constantly linked with his fellow countryman forcing Fonte to discuss his future with the Southampton hierarchy.
The Portuguese Euro 2016 winner has held talks with Saints director of football Les Reed and chairman Ralph Krueger.
The outcome was revealed by Saints manager Claude Puel. “The situation of Jose is now finished and he is back to normal,” he said.
“Jose is now concentrating just on his football and his team. He had a good discussion with the director of football, with the chairman and now everything is all OK.

Staying with the Saints

“For Jose it was important for us, for me, to keep him in the squad because he is a good personality, a good professional and has good leadership qualities.
“It was important to listen to Jose and understand his position and have time to speak – but now is the time to play and there is no problem with this.”
With question marks over the Old Trafford futures of Phil Jones and Marcos Rojo, Fonte became the name linked with United to add some experience to the defence.
