The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has discontinued manual luggage screening at Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos, following the installation of cutting-edge Rapiscan security systems. The newly deployed Orion 928DX scanners—among the most advanced in global aviation—now handle baggage checks, significantly reducing passenger processing times while enhancing detection capabilities. Four high-capacity machines have been installed at MMIA, capable of identifying narcotics, explosives, concealed currency, and other prohibited items with high accuracy. Physical searches will now only occur when the scanners flag suspicious items. Additionally, surveillance monitors have been set up for border control agencies, including the Nigeria Immigration…

Antibiotic resistance, a mounting crisis in global health, emerges when bacteria evolve to survive treatments meant to eliminate them. This makes once-manageable infections difficult — and sometimes impossible — to treat. The overuse and misuse of antibiotics in healthcare and agriculture have accelerated this evolution, allowing resistant strains to thrive, spread, and share their survival traits with other bacteria. According to the World Health Organization, resistant pathogens like Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa — which cause severe infections in vulnerable patients — are now among the most dangerous. In 2019 alone, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) claimed 1.27 million lives, with nearly…

Tom Huddleston Jr. Over the next decade, advances in artificial intelligence will mean that humans will no longer be needed “for most things” in the world, says Bill Gates. That’s what the Microsoft co-founder and billionaire philanthropist told comedian Jimmy Fallon during an interview on NBC’s “The Tonight Show” in February. At the moment, expertise remains “rare,” Gates explained, pointing to human specialists we still rely on in many fields, including “a great doctor” or “a great teacher.” But “with AI, over the next decade, that will become free, commonplace — great medical advice, great tutoring,” Gates said. In other…

Everybody makes a big deal about regular engine oil changes, and with good reason. Just like any other part of a vehicle, oil wears down during constant use and needs to be replaced to ensure your vehicle keeps operating at peak efficiency. In fact, oil might be the hardest working part of your vehicle seeing as how it gets squeezed and circulated through your engine thousands of times per minute and suffers through a gazillion heat cycles over the course of its lifetime. What about transmission fluid, though? That does a lot of work, especially in a car or truck…
