THR: What's the biggest mistake people make when getting into this genre? |
Murray: People think you can manipulate all of the drama and conflict. You have to be willing to wait for it. We're very fortunate with The Real World that we still get to shoot for 16 or 17 weeks, which means we can go three or four days without anything happening that makes sense for us from a story standpoint. When ... |

Four policemen attached to the Inspector-General of Police (IG) Intelligence Response Team (IRT) were killed on Saturday by suspected kidnappers during an ambush at Rigasa Forest in Kaduna State. |
The deceased are: Inspectors Benard Odibo, Mamman Abubakar, Haruna Ibrahim and Sergeant Emmanuel Istifanus. |
They were reportedly killed during a mission to arrest suspected abductors of an Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Adam Algarkawy. |
It was gathered that the cleric was abducted on August 2 at Rigasa in Kaduna and was released on August 6 after his family reportedly paid N10 million ransom. |
To bring the abductors to justice, 13 IRT operatives were reportedly deployed in the forest early on Saturday. |
It was gathered that they successfully apprehended two of the suspected abductors. |
The operatives were said to be on their way out of the forest when other members of the gang ambushed and attacked them. |
During an exchange of fire, two suspected kidnappers and four policemen were killed. |
Operatives gunned down six of the criminals. |
The Nation gathered that another IRT operative sustained gunshot injuries and is recuperating at an undisclosed hospital. |
According to Head of IRT, Abba Kyari, a Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), the bodies of the slain policemen have been deposited at Saint Gerald Hospital’s mortuary in Kaduna for autopsy. |
Kaduna State Police Command’s spokesman Sabo Yakubu, a Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), said: “At 0630hrs (6.30 a.m) on August 11, a team of detectives attached to IGP Intelligent Response Team (IRT) on operation in Jankasa village of Rigasa in Igabi Local Government Area in Kaduna State was ambushed by bandits. |
The spokesman said no arrest had been made, but assured the residents that the culprits would be arrested and prosecuted. |
He added that a reinforcement team had been mobilised to the area to bring the perpetrators to justice. |
reported yesterday that The Old Republic was in development for the Xbox 360 after spying a reference to an Xbox 360 version of Star Wars: The Old Republic on a UK game retailer's internal release list. The list apparently had it down as "TBC [To Be Confirmed] 2011." |
BioWare's response? Not so fast. |
According to the Canada-based developer of recent multiplatform hits Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Age, it has "no idea" why The Old Republic was on the list, and that it "should not be on there." |
BioWare message board community manager Sean Dahlberg handled damage control, posting the following to BioWare's official The Old Republic forums. |
"I know many of you have heard this before but I'll go ahead and reiterate it for those of you who may be new," wrote Dahlberg. |
"Star Wars: The Old Republic is currently being developed for the personal computer (PC) using the Microsoft Windows operating system. While we recognize that there are other operating systems and platforms available for games today, our development is specific to the personal computer using the Windows operating syste... |
Note the shrewd ambiguity in that carefully spun response. The Old Republic is "currently" being developed for the PC, but not "only." BioWare's development is specific to the PC "at this time," but not "exclusively." |
Translation: Maybe we will, maybe we won't, but don't bug us--we're busy getting the PC version out the door. |
That said, the part about recognizing "there are other operating systems and platforms available for games today" seems a little silly. |
Hey BioWare, you don't need to convince us you know the difference between a PC and a Mac, or for that matter, a Mac and an Xbox 360. |
At Apple’s event last month where the new iPhones were revealed, Apple did not mention anything about the iPad which left many to speculate that the new devices could be revealed this month. Whether or not that is still set to happen remains to be seen, but it seems that we might have more details about it. |
These details are courtesy of the folks at 9to5Mac whose sources have revealed more information about the upcoming tablet refresh. For the most part a lot of the details have been mentioned before, but now it looks like they have been corroborated. This includes how the new iPads will feature edge-to-edge displays and ... |
However unlike the new iPhones, they will not feature a notch as the bezels are said to be thick enough to house the TrueDepth camera components. They will also be doing away with the Home button, and that they will also be capable of supporting external 4K displays, thanks to the USB-C port which will see Apple for th... |
9to5Mac’s sources have also told them that there will be a new version of the Apple Pencil that will be introduced, along with a brand new magnetic connector on the back which will allow it to connect to various accessories. It is also expected that this will replace the Smart Connector located on the side of the curre... |
Take it with a grain of salt for now, but if these details are true, then this represents one of the biggest upgrades to the iPad lineup that we have seen in a while. |

A Mars Express HRSC 3D perspective view of Candor Chasma (in false colours) characterised by the infrared images of OMEGA. It shows bright and brown deposits (arrowed) that are rich in the mineral kieserite, a hydrated magnesium sulphate. |
New observations of Mars' interior have revealed a crater hidden from the surface and new information about ice below the polar cap. |
Fresh research announced today also finds chemical signatures of past water on Mars that add to other evidence suggesting a wet past. |
Scientists have long held that the deep channels and signs of extensive aqueous erosion are evidence that Mars was once a watery world. But these geologic signatures alone are not enough to confirm that liquid water was stable on the planet's surface for extended periods of time. |
Liquid water is a key ingredient to life as we know it. While there is no firm evidence that biology has ever existed on Mars, scientists are seeking locations that may once have held standing water as logical places to search with future missions. |
Today researchers on the European Space Agency's Mars Express team announced they have detected minerals on Mars' surface that could only have formed from long-term exposure to large amounts of liquid water. |
Over the last 18 months, scientists at OMEGA - Observatoire pour la Mineralogy, l'Eau, les Glaces et l'Activite in France - have used the visible and infrared mapping spectrometer on board the spacecraft to map nearly the entire surface of the planet. During this time, the instrument detected the two different classes ... |
Phyllosilicates, one of the minerals discovered, form when molten rock is chemically altered by long-term contact with water. Phyllosilicates were spotted as dark deposits mainly in Arabia Terra, Terra Meridiani, Sytris Major, Nili Fossae and Mawrth Vallis regions. |
The second type of mineral, hydrated sulfates, are formed as deposits from salted, generally acidic, water. These were seen in layered deposits in the vast canyon Valles Marineris, the Terra Meridiani region, and within dark dunes in the northern polar cap. |
"An early active hydrological system must have been present on Mars to account for the large amount of clays, or phyllosilicates in general, that OMEGA has observed," said OMEGA principal investigator Jean-Pierre Bibring. |
After analyzing the surrounding areas, the OMEGA team determined that the phyllosilicates were created more than 3.8 billion years ago. The hydrated sulfates would not require as much time to form, but acidic water must be present. |
The mineral-rich regions could be interesting places to explore with future missions, said Bibring, who presented a map of Mawrth Vallis region where the water-rich minerals, shown in blue, were detected. |
"All the blue spots are where we should go in the future," Bibring said. |
Researchers with the Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionospheric Sounding instrument on board the orbiter also presented their observations of the northern polar ice cap and evidence of subsurface ice, which is published today in the online version of the journal Science. |
From the reflection and absorption intensities of the 1.8-kilometer-thick ice cap, they have determined that it is nearly pure water. |
"The dust component must be very small - two percent or less based on absorption," said MARSIS co-principal investigator Jeffrey Plaut. |
The low frequency radar instrument also revealed a buried crater basin in the northern Chryse Planitia lowlands. Although the giant crater is nearly 250 kilometers in diameter, it is shallowly buried and invisible on the planet's surface. Additional MARSIS radar probes have shown a 1-kilometer-thick deposit of material... |
"We have no convincing evidence yet of subsurface liquid water," Plaut said, adding that it is very early on in the search. "However, we can certainly say that we have seen significant amounts of subsurface water in the form of ice. The search for liquid water will begin in earnest next year." |

The Nigerian equities market is expected to record huge gains largely on the back of fast-declining yields on fixed income securities (Treasury bills and Federal Government bonds). Relatively lower prices of value stocks and positive macroeconomic fundamentals are also expected to contribute to the equities’ uptick. |
The latest Domestic & Foreign Portfolio Participation Report by the Nigerian Stock Exchange showed that total domestic and foreign transactions on the bourse grew positively by 28.50 per cent to N272.48bn. |
In particular, the total foreign transactions increased at a faster pace of 58.87 per cent to N132.21bn, than the 8.88 per cent uptick in domestic transactions at N140.27bn. |
However, domestic investors remained dominant players on the Exchange, contributing 51.48 per cent of total transactions. Net foreign flows remained positive at N7.21bn following increase in foreign inflows (55.29 per cent) and outflows (63.06 per cent) to N69.71bn and N62.50bn, respectively. |
Recent developments in the local bourse are not the true representation of the market stance in the medium to long-term, analysts say. |
For the month of April, investors remained bearish in the equities market, as the NSE All-Share Index dropped for the third consecutive month by 0.57 per cent, following 11 sessions of losses (accumulating 4.41 per cent loss) and nine sessions of gains (accumulating 3.87 per cent gain). |
Most sessions as at the end of last month were relatively quiet, as reflected in the lower volume (-14.01 per cent month-on-month) and value (-22.02 per cent month-on-month) of trades at 8.46 billion units and N106.11bn, respectively. |
According to analysts at Cordros Capital, the loss recorded in the benchmark index during the month of April largely reflected an extension of the market correction following the strong gains recorded in the second quarter of 2017 (15.48 per cent) and January this year (15.95 per cent). |
The fourth month of the year saw Treasury bill yields contract by 3.50 per cent on the average to 11.24 per cent. |
Sentiment was bullish on the back of surplus system liquidity, reduced supply of bills at the primary market auctions, expectations of a rate cut at the April Monetary Policy Committee meeting, and excess demand at the Central Bank of Nigeria’s Open Market Operation auctions, Cordros Capital said in its monthly report. |
Notably, the average yield dropped across all ends (short: 4.03 per cent decline, mid: 3.48 per cent decline, and long: 3.04 per cent decline) of the curve, with the 17 May 2018, 30 August 2018 and 15 November 2018 noted recording significant contractions of 6.42 per cent, 4.41 per cent and 4.25 per cent, respectively. |
The NSE had said its efforts for 2018 and beyond would be directed at satisfying customers, boosting domestic retail segment and enhancing the organisation. |
The Chief Executive Officer, NSE, Oscar Onyema, stated, “Indeed, to some extent, political activities and currency movements will have some effect on the market, but we expect that such impact will be short-lived and the performance of the underlying business activities will ultimately determine market performance. |
The FSDH Research believes the yields on Treasury bills may drop further from the current levels. However, its analysts said, “As we approach the approval of the proposed 2018 budget, yields on the FGN bonds may gradually increase from the current levels as the Federal Government starts to increase its borrowings to fu... |
The FSDH analysts expect the equities market to appreciate in the second quarter based on historical performance. The following factors, according to them, should drive the performance of the equity market: Investors taking positions in the market following the sell down in March; further drop in yields on Treasury bil... |
To this end, the Chairman, Association of Stockbroking Houses of Nigeria, Chief Patrick Ezeagu, said the stock market presented huge opportunities for both local and foreign investors given the current trend of activities in the market in terms of operation and regulation. |
“Once people are assured that they can come into the market and exit whenever they like in an orderly manner, they will develop confidence and patronise the market,” he stated. |
Analysts at Afrinvest Securities said most remarkably, foreign portfolio inflow data had reflected the attraction of foreign investors into the Nigerian equities market, with inflow into equities accounting for 29.7 per cent and 49.6 per cent of the total capital and the FPI flows, respectively, resulting in a 42.3 per... |
The equities market rally of 2017 post-foreign exchange market liberalisation saw investors taking advantage of cheap and attractive valuations, which were previously jettisoned due to demand paucity from foreign investors. |
Particularly, tier-1 banking stocks as well as premium consumer goods and industrial goods stocks drove the positive sentiment. In line with historical trend, domestic investors joined the bandwagon towards the fourth quarter, especially after the gradual moderation in fixed income yields following the Federal Governme... |
