Boko Haram kills two soldiers in Cameroon

Gunmen from Nigeria's Boko
Haram Islamist militant group killed
two Cameroonian soldiers in fighting at
the weekend that also left three
militants dead, military officers said on
Monday.
The clash highlights how pockets of
Boko Haram fighters remain active
despite progress this year by troops
from Nigeria and neighbouring Niger,
Chad and Cameroon in breaking the
militants' hold on vast swathes of
territory.
A Cameroonian officer said clashes
erupted when soldiers were dispatched
to check reports of Boko Haram
militants moving towards the northern
town of Zelevet, near the border with
Nigeria.
"When we arrived the enemy attacked.
We returned fire but sadly we lost two
men," the officer said, asking not to be
named. A second officer said three Boko
Haram fighters were killed and a female
militant captured.
Separately, a military source said
another 20 people had been killed last
week in attacks in villages on the
Cameroon side of the border with
Nigeria.
There was no immediate official
comment from the military on any of the
reported incidents.
Earlier this year, Boko Haram occupied
large chunks of northern Nigeria and
was increasingly mounting attacks on
neighbouring states, prompting regional
leaders into action to reverse gains made
by the six-year insurgency.
Operations carried out by regional
forces have pushed the militants from
most of their positions and Nigerian
President-elect Muhammadu Buhari has
vowed to crush what remains of the
group.
However, Boko Haram militants
continue to hit back and at least five
people were killed in a raid on a village
in southwestern Niger last week.

Floyd Mayweather Baby Mama Sues for $20 Mil ... He's a Despicable Liar

Floyd Mayweather could lose tens of millions of dollars from his big payday if his baby mama gets her way ... because she's just filed a lawsuit claiming he ruined her with lies to save his own ass. Josie Harris, who has 3 kids with Floyd, claims he lied through his teeth in an interview with Katie Couric just 2 weeks before the big fight ... when he claimed Josie was in a drug-fueled rage and he had to "restrain" her during their infamous 2010 domestic violence incident. Point of fact ... Floyd was convicted of domestic violence and spent two months in jail. Josie recounts her terror in the lawsuit, explaining how she and Floyd had broken up ... but he flew into a jealous rage that night, broke into her home and viciously attacked her while she was sleeping on her couch ... and her kids saw part of the beating. Harris says she is now labeled a drug addict thanks to Mayweather's lies -- and was embarrassed and humiliated on a global scale. Her lawyer, Dan Friedl...

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...

Are You Treating Your Kids Like Your Career?

And, we see this all the time. Hey,listen I've heard evidence of this phenomenon at the hairdresser, nail salon, at high school softball games, or at the grocery store. Mothers move in closer to each other and start to talk to one other very seriously and very competitively about their kids' achievements, successes, activities but certainly not about their disappointments, feelings, or emotional concerns. Nope, those topics are reserved for the night when those parents are alone with both the darkness of the night and their concerns. Now these are kids they are talking about, not careers. I'll tell you though that it sounds a whole lot like they are talking about jobs and job advancement. And, these kids who are their current careers, in my opinion, are at risk to become highly anxious and stressed as they struggle not to let their parents down. Don't kid yourself parents — your kids are desperately afraid of failing you. Want to figure out if your child has beco...
