NUPENG Still Plans To Go On Strike Over Refineries Sale

The Nigerian Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) says it has not shelved its proposed plans to go on strike over the planned sale of the country's refineries.
A statement from the President of NUPENG,
Igwe Achese, on Wednesday in Lagos, said the union's position was still that the decision to privatise the four refineries was hastily taken.
It said it would therefore still be resisted by NUPENG.
"The attention of the union was drawn to some
stories that NUPENG has suspended the strike. The union states that the report is erroneous and full of distortions of facts," the statement said.
It added that NUPENG members in NNPC
and its subsidiaries had however embarked on
daily prayer sessions, calling for God's intervention.
The statement quoted Achese as calling
"NUPENG members to intensify on the prayer
sessions, which is a prelude to the nationwide
strike coming up this week''.
It added that the meeting scheduled by the Minister of Labour and Productivity, Emeka
Wogu, would be futile if the Minister of Petroleum, Diezani Alison-Madueke, was not
involved.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls
that NUPENG and PENGASSAN in December 2013 had threatened to embark on strike in January.
The two unions had said this would be if the
Federal Government failed to reverse its decision to privatise the country's four refineries.[NAN]

Dangerous sex Positions For Men

The most common cause of pénile injury is found among the variety of potentially dangerous positions used for séxual intercourse. The most popular is the ‘woman-on-top’. This type of position can result in an impact between the pénis against the female pelvis or perineum that can easily traumatize the pénile cylinders. A pénis becomes érect when the lining of the cylinder within it is engorged with blood. A pénis fracture can occur when there is trauma to the eréct pénis, resulting in a rupture of the cylinder lining. This very painful injury is often accompanied by an abrupt, distressing cracking noise that is immediately followed by dark bruising of the pénis due to blood escaping the cylinder. In ten to 30% of pénis fractures, the urethra is damaged and blood may be visible at the urinary opening. Given these signs, an injury should be relatively simple to diagnose, right? You would be surprised, even with the unsettling sounds of a fracture occurring, many men...

AWS Battles Rivals: Advertising Campaign

Amazon Web Services has defeated IBM in a competition for lucrative federal contracts, threatened Microsoft's core businesses, and reshaped corporate technology. In the last few months, the pioneering cloud-computing unit of the online retail giant has taken a page from the playbook of some of its more traditional competitors: It started advertising. Ads have been splashed across billboards and in airport terminals, television spots and web videos, featuring a whiteboard full of sketches of software architecture and appeals to invent something using Amazon's collection of rented computing services. The advertising campaign, which bears the "Build On" tagline, represents a milestone in AWS' march from technology upstart to one of the major players in business software, technologists and marketers say. For many years, AWS didn't advertise, partly because it didn't have to. The service held a wide lead over the competition, and word-of-mouth was enough to...

Google Authenticator, a formidable layer of protection to your account.

Google Authenticator is a free security app that can protect your accounts against password theft. It's easy to set up and can be used in a process called two-factor authentication (2FA) offered on popular social media services like Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. The app ( iOS / Android ) generates a random code used to verify your identity when you're logging into various services. The code can technically be sent to your phone via text message every time— but the Google Authenticator app provides an extra level of security. SMS-based 2FA has a known security flaw , and any devoted hacker can attempt to socially engineer an attack against your phone company. The Google Authenticator app eliminates the possibility of an SMS-based attack using algorithms to generate the codes on your phone. Here's how to set it up: 1. Download Google Authenticator from either the Apple App Store or the Android Google Play store. It's free. 2. Nex...
