Tuesday, August 5, 2014 Lagos has 8 suspected Ebola cases, 1 confirmed - Lagos Health Commissioner

The Lagos state Commissioner for Health, Dr Jide Idris, today August 5th said there are now eight suspected cases of Ebola in Lagos. These eight are those who came in contact with Liberian Patrick Sawyer, who died of Ebola shortly after arriving Lagos last month. But out of the 8, only one case has been confirmed while six others have been quarantined even though they have not shown any symptoms of the disease so far, Dr Idris said.

An Indonesian widow who was gang-raped by eight 'vigilantes' as punishment for having an affair with a married man, is now to suffer the further indignity of being caned in public. The rapists caught the couple together when they barged into her house in the northern Indonesian province of Banda Aceh and accused her of having 'improper sexual relations' with the 40-year-old man. The 25-year-old woman's companion was tied up and beaten, while she was raped repeatedly. Then the two of them were doused with buckets of sewage.

Public punishment: The 25-year-old woman faces up to nine strokes of the cane in Banda Aceh province It was only after the terrified woman was dragged to a police station by her attackers and reported for breaking strict Sharia laws against extra-marital sex then it was learned she had been raped. Three of the vigilantes were immediately detained and charged with rape as their companions fled - but that did not prevent police deciding to punish the woman with a caning for breaking religious laws. 'The woman and the man will both be caned because they have violated a religious bylaw on sexual relations,' Mr Ibrahim Latif, head of the Shariah office in the eastern town of Langsa, told the Jakarta Globe. He said the fact that the woman had been raped would not be taken into consideration in determining the punishment for the religious crime she had allegedly committed. Mr Ibrahim said the woman and her companion had confessed to having sex on several previous occasions even though the man is married and has five children.

Religious laws: Her 40-year-old companion also faces the public humiliation after being caught having 'improper sexual relations' Under the religious law, the woman and her lover face up to nine strokes of the cane each - and the punishmen will be carried out in a public place. The three arrested rapists - who include a 13-year-old boy - would have faced the same number of cane strokes if they had been charged under Shariah law - but they are facing charges in a criminal court. The hunt continues for the five others. It is not the first time in Aceh that a woman accused of inappropriate conduct with an 'unrelated male' - her husband - has been summarily raped. In the same town of Langsa, a 20-year-old university student was raped by three Shariah police officers in January 2010 after being caught riding on a motor cycle with her boyfriend. The town's Sharia police chief was later sacked and two of the rapists were sentenced to eight years in prison. The third, said the Jakarta Globe was never caught.

Horrific: Jeremy and Christine Moody (seen in court today) admitted to killing a sex offender and his wife and though they are self-proclaimed 'skinheads' they say that the local white supremacist group that they are affiliated with did not have a role in the murders Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2621865/White-supremacist-couple-kiss-smile-theyre-sentenced-life-killing-sex-offender-wife.html#ixzz312d3wWGb Follow us: @MailOnline on Twitter | DailyMail on Facebook

Appalling: The couple said later after the sentencing that they had a second sex offender target in mind and added that the female victim was 'a casualty of war' since they really wanted to kill her sex offender husband Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2621865/White-supremacist-couple-kiss-smile-theyre-sentenced-life-killing-sex-offender-wife.html#ixzz312eG8Z9U Follow us: @MailOnline on Twitter | DailyMail on Facebook

f authorities had not acted fast enough, they may have: Christine Moody said that they had another sex offender in mind as their third victim but were caught in connection to the Parker killings before they could strike again. The Moodys plead guilty to murder, kidnapping, burglary and firearm possession. Though they had personal connections to a local supremacist group, Crew 41, which the Southern Poverty Law Center notes has a history of targeting sex offenders, the Moodys claimed that the Parkers murder had nothing to do with the group.

KARIM BENZEMEN

Is Karim Benzema about to rejoin old boss Mourinho? Real Madrid's Karim Benzema is a £40 million target for Jose Mourinho, according to a report from Paul Doyle of The Guardian. The two can rekindle their relationship from the Spanish capital, however, there are vast differences for the Frenchman to consider before moving. Benzema's game, for the most part, is based around service. The wing play of Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and Angel Di Maria has seen a steady supply of crosses that the powerful Frenchman has feasted upon. In order for him to profit fully from Chelsea's attacking play, he must be continually fed. Holding up play with his back to goal is a facet to his play, but Benzema is a thoroughbred centre-forward in the truest sense, and if the delivery is right, he will score goals. According to the player's agent, Jonathan Hope, Benzema favours a move to the Northwest, per talkSPORT: I've proposed rekindling the interest from Manchester City for Karim. After his fine form in El Clasico I've proposed him as a summer target. Karim would love to play in the Premier League and Manchester City would be his choice of club, however reuniting with Mourinho at Chelsea would also be of interest.

Eden Hazard had some interesting words to say after Chelsea went out of the Champions League. Eden Hazard could well have played his last game for Chelsea if recent comments are anything to go by. Following the Blues' exit from the Champions League, the Belgian was quoted as saying, per Jeremy Wilson of The Daily Telegraph: Chelsea are not made to play football, we are good on the counter-attack, a bit like Real against Bayern Munich. Often, I'm asked to do it all by myself and it's not easy. His words clearly irked manager Jose Mourinho who hit back, via Daily Mail: Eden is the kind of player who is not so mentally ready to look to his left back. If you look at Atletico's first goal, you will see where the mistake is. The perfect team at this level can't make this sort if mistake. Eden is not 100 percent ready to sacrifice himself for the team. I'm not happy about that.

A fundamental part of PodTrapper is its ability to refresh your podcasts on the schedule you set. This way they're always available when you want them, much like iTunes would do on your PC if you left it open (except without the syncing). That means PodTrapper needs to be running *all the time* on your phone. Fortunately this is fully supported on BlackBerry. Unfortunately this brings with it all of the aspects you need to deal with when writing long running apps -- memory leaks (yes, even with java), resource limitations, thread based events, etc. For example, some of the earlier versions of PodTrapper (ok, maybe not so 'earlier') would parse feed xml and store data from the xml inside an episode object with String.substring(). I completely forgot that the JVM implements substring as a pointer to the location in the original string. So, if I had a 100k RSS feed, and I pulled out a 100 byte string with substring and stored it, the 100k RSS feed could never be freed. (This isn't exactly what happened, but it's close enough and much simpler to explain). Making matters worse is the limited memory available on early BlackBerry devices. My curve has 32MB of RAM and 64MB of flash. The flash can be used for paging if it's available, but on my device only about 20MB of it is, and that fills up fast installing applications (PodTrapper alone is 350k). Realizing that the OS and other apps also have to fit in RAM, leaking a 100kb string becomes a huge problem. There are lots of forum posts by people trying to figure out why their phone keeps running out of memory and needs to be rebooted. It's a large enough problem that there are apps for automatically restarting your phone. I can definitely see why Apple has been hesitant to open up background processing on the iPhone. It's really easy for bad developers to make the whole platform look bad.
