BAGANBAZAR GRAPHSource-attributed newsWORLD deskZamfara State Governor, Dauda Lawal, has defended President Bola Tinubu’s decision to continue working while away from the country, saying the President can perform his duties from anywhere. Lawal made the remarks while speaking on Channels Television’s inside Sources, where he defended President Bola Tinubu’s absence from the 81st United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), amid criticism of the President’s recent absence. The governor said the President had made it clear that his trip was a working leave, meaning he would continue carrying out his official responsibilities while away. “When the President travelled, he made it very clear that he was going on a working leave. Wherever the President is, he is working for Nigeria,” he said. Lawal also said technological development had made it possible for government officials to work effectively from different locations. According to him, Nigeria is changing and should take advantage of technology to improve the way government operates. “Nigeria is evolving, and the President can work anywhere. That is why we are investing so much in technology, to be able to work wherever you are,” he said. The governor dismissed concerns over the President working from outside the country, saying there was nothing controversial about the arrangement. He added that Tinubu was not simply taking time off but was continuing to work for the country. “I don’t see that to be any controversial because he is not just resting, he is working for Nigeria,” Lawal said.

BAGANBAZAR GRAPHSource-attributed newsSCIENCE deskDr Kevin Fong concludes his exploration of the boundaries between the medical profession and other industries for valuable lessons that might be of use to us all. In this final episode, Kevin talks to people who have spent their lives investigating what it takes to make high-performance, high-reliability systems work safely when lives are on the line. Since the days of Project Apollo, People have come to rely more and more heavily upon the digital computer. Whether it’s aerospace, the automotive industry, medicine or even the financial sector, technology has become so central to the success of these complex systems, that it’s become increasingly more difficult for the human to remain in control when these systems fail. Technology, some argue, isn’t just replacing us, it’s displacing us. Is this situation inevitable or is there a way to better protect ourselves from the risks that opaque, complex technological systems create?
BAGANBAZAR GRAPHSource-attributed newsSCIENCE deskHow does traffic jam? And, why do some people shout into their cellphones in public places? Two subjects guaranteed to annoy even the most patient listeners.The Phantom Jam Listener Matthew Chandler wrote to us: "I travel on the motorway for work and often I find myself sitting in a traffic jam for ages, thinking there must be roadworks or an accident ahead, then suddenly the jam mysteriously disappears to reveal… nothing! There's no apparent reason whatsoever."Doctors Rutherford and Fry discover the cause of these phantom jams. Adam ventures on to the M25 in search of a tailback, and Hannah looks at projects around the world designed to thwart traffic tailbacks.This case features Neal Harwood from the Transport Research Laboratory and BBC technology reporter, Jane Wakefield. Plus a special guest appearance from Greg Marston, aka 'Masdar City Man'.The Aural Voyeur Listener Daniel Sarano, from New Jersey, asks why people shout on their mobile phones in public: "I have no interest in hearing about people’s private lives. I don’t enjoy the aural voyeurism. If people want to say 'honey I’m running late, be home in 5'. That’s OK, but discussing business or, worse, personal details…. I hate it. The whole idea would have seemed an anathema to older generations. I think they would have considered it rude to talk loudly in public.

BAGANBAZAR GRAPHSource-attributed newsSCIENCE deskExposure to hazardous chemicals can contribute to noncommunicable diseases and remains a key public health challenge. Most chemicals used in consumer products, including food packaging, lack sufficient data to determine whether they are safe.

Yet evidence shows that consumers are simultaneously exposed to complex mixtures of chemicals from many types of products.
BAGANBAZAR GRAPHSource-attributed newsBUSINESS deskMeta and Apple are fierce rivals, and on Wednesday, the Facebook creator upped the ante by announcing new lightweight virtual reality glasses that make Apple’s Vision Pro headset look like bulky old tech. Mark Zuckerberg showed off Meta’s new glasses, named Meta VR Glasses, at the company’s annual Connect event in Menlo Park, Calif. The glasses weigh 100 grams, the CEO said, making them light enough to compare to a regular pair of glasses. The glasses, which Meta said will ship in spring 2027, are designed for cinematic experiences such as watching movies, spatial computing, and gaming. They will cost $1,299. “We made the decision to focus a little bit less on metaverse for now; build fewer VR devices and only release them when we have real breakthroughs,” Zuckerberg said Wednesday. “We’ve also heard that a lot of people are less interested in wearing a headset. So, we’ve built a new kind of VR device.” To show off the glasses, Zuckerberg played a video of creators such as YouTuber Casey Neistat and NBA star Draymond Green reacting to the device. In the demo, Meta showed people wearing the glasses while watching an NBA game and multitasking between applications. The glasses are marketed with a connected battery pack. The new VR glasses are a clear shot at Apple and its Vision Pro headset, which has failed to take off as a consumer device in part because of its large frame, its weight, and its cost (around $3,700). Apple is also reportedly working on smart glasses, as well as camera-enabled AirPods. Apple recently held its own hardware event, where it unveiled its first foldable phone, named the iPhone Duo, but didn’t have any updates on the Vision Pro.

Media outlet Politico reported last week that a shipment of US-bound F-35 parts being flown from Australia this summer ended up in Hong Kong, citing anonymous sources. The alleged incident prompted a US government investigation amid concerns that China could gain access to the sensitive weapon system, the US news site reported. A spokesperson for the Hong Kong government said it “will not comment on individual incidents.” According to Politico, the parts – which included one of the jet’s canopies – were being transported by an intermediary on behalf of F-35 manufacturer Lockheed Martin. Sources told Politico that the canopies contain technology that only the US and its allies have. The US Congress. File photo: Wikimedia Commons. Lawmakers on the US House committee that oversees armed services are looking into the incident, House Armed Services Committee spokesperson Heather Vaughan told media outlets. “The committee is aware of this issue and we’ve received multiple briefings on it,” Vaughan said.

Homo sapiens have been around for only around 100 000 years and in that time we have utterly transformed the world around us. Our shelters allow us to live in all climates and from the poles to the tropics; our technology lets us communicate across the planet. We’ve created art and music and literature; and our agriculture has changed global biodiversity, shifting forever the way we feed ourselves. In other words, human culture dominates the earth.

BAGANBAZAR GRAPHSource-attributed newsSCIENCE deskWhether it's gossiping over a drink, teaching our children, or politicians debating we use words to communicate with each other and share ideas. It’s what makes us human. But what if we can’t? Could it be possible to broadcast our thoughts directly from our brains without the need for speech? Gaia Vince meets the scientists who say they are getting close to being able to read minds. For the last decade neuroscientists have been using fMRI brain scanners and EEG to try to communicate with people who’d been diagnosed as being in a persistent vegetative state. They have woken up following a coma but although their eyes are open and they have spontaneous movements, they have no cognitive function and are not capable of higher level thought. Dr Damian Cruse, of Birmingham University, tells Gaia about the results of these experiments. People with other medical conditions that lead to a loss of speech, such as motor neurone disease, can already communicate with technology. We hear from Sarah Ezekiel, who has had MND since 2000 and whose life has been transformed by being able to talk artificially with eyegaze software on a computer. Neurologist Dr Kai Miller at Stanford University explains how he is using electrodes already implanted in the brains of people with severe epilepsy to determine what they are seeing.
