Startup Raises $20 Million to Build 'YouTube on the Blockchain'

Image
Silicon Valley startup Lino is preparing to take on YouTube with a decentralized, collectively-owned video content distribution system that purports to cut out the middleman to more fairly compensate content creators. The company, which faces competition from Streamspace, Flixxo, Viuly and Stream, all of which are developing similar concepts, received a $20 million vote of confidence from prominent Chinese seed investor Zhenfund during a private token sale, it   announced   today. Explaining the company's mission, its website says that YouTube holds "enormous power" over creators and focuses on maximizing profit, which can bring it into conflict with its actual creators. The site continues: "The solution is to create a collectively owned, decentralized means of distribution, which ensures all content value is directly distributed to content creators and affiliated contributors without going through a privately owned entity as a middleman....

Why You Snore And How To Prevent It

Image
Why It Happens If you snore, it's because the relaxed tissues in your throat vibrate as the air you breathe in rushes past them. About half of U.S. adults do it from time to time. Things like your weight, your health, and the shape of your mouth can make you more likely to sound like you're sawing logs during the night.  How Do I Know If I Snore? If it’s loud enough to wake your partner, you probably have heard about it. If you don’t believe them or sleep alone and want to know for sure, turn on a voice-activated recorder before you fall sleep. Stuffy Nose Anything that stops you from breathing through your nose can make you snore, like if you’re stopped up from a cold, flu, or allergies. Over-the-counter medicines or nasal strips can help open up those airways, but talk to your doctor if you’re stuffed up for weeks at a time. The Shape of Your Nose If the thin wall between your nostrils didn’t form quite right, one side can be smaller than the oth...

This Will Make Your Day: 22 Animals That Thought They Were Humans

As most of us live in urban areas, it is very likely that our pets live with us in our apartments.

Here are 22 of our photos in which pets exhibit surprising human-like behavior. Accidental or not, these pictures will surely make your day! A tourist at a zoo got by this macaque at the zoo as she was trying to take a close up shot. As you can see, he’s quite happy with his new toy. He’s probably on Tinder trying to find himself some new friends. This cute pooch has a very busy office day helping his favorite human. Sitting in the bosses’ chair, sorting out documents, answering the phone, there’s nothing he can’t do if it puts smile on the face behind the camera.

Nigeria: 37 Feared Killed in Fresh Southern Kaduna Crisis

Image
At least 37 people are feared killed and many others seriously injured in fresh crisis that broke out in Kajuru Local Government Area in Southern Kaduna. The latest trouble was said to have started since Sunday when some Fulani youths allegedly went to a village at Ugwan Uka to avenge the killing of their kinsman. Kajuru Local Government is about 50 kilometres from the state capital, Kaduna. The fresh killings show that the efforts by the government at the state and federal levels to check violence have not been effective. The umbrella body of Fulani, the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria on Saturday alleged that four of its members were killed by youths from the troubled Southern Kaduna. The group had alleged that youths from Kadara and Gwari communities in Kajuru were responsible for the killings. The National Secretary of the association, Ibrahim Abdullahi, while addressing a press conference in Kaduna claimed that the incident occurred when some ki...

Over The Counter (OTC) Drugs The New Craze Among Youths - Mr. Otunba Ipinmisho, Former DG NDLEA

Image
When we watch foreign movies and television shows and see young people abroad using hard drugs like cocaine and heroin, we can’t help but be grateful that our children are not gone that way. Despite being labeled as one of the top drug peddlers across the world, Nigeria remains one of the lowest when it comes to cocaine and heroin usage. The common argument is that these drugs are too expensive and far away from our youths’ reach. Also, we believe that our strict moral and religious teachings have kept our youths safe from drugs and only a few ‘wayward’ kids and transport operators are into the habit. This, according to new reports, is a wrong notion. We are quick to equate hard drugs with cocaine and heroin. Meanwhile, your child may be high on hard drugs right now without you knowing it, yet they appear not to have ever touched any of those drugs. The former Director General, National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, Mr. Otunba Ipinmisho, pointed out that “40 per cent of our y...

Batshuayi nets twice as Chelsea ease past Arsenal

Image
Michy Batshuayi scored twice as Chelsea hammered Arsenal 3-0 at the Bird’s Nest stadium on Saturday in a Chinese edition of the London derby. Batshuayi doubled Chelsea’s lead in the 42nd minute and then curled in a long-range effort shortly after the break to show new signing Alvaro Morata that he intends to fight for the main striker’s role next season. Chelsea outclassed a tired-looking Arsenal side throughout this preseason friendly and had taken the lead through Willian in the 40th minute, with Batshuayi getting the second less than two minutes later. Arsenal may blame tired legs for this defeat as it was the last of four games they have played on a two-week tour of Australia and China, while Chelsea were playing their first match of their preseason trip to Asia. Chelsea manager Antonio Conte also played arguably his strongest possible lineup, while Arsene Wenger started academy prospects Cohen Bramall and Ainsley Maitland-Niles and made mass changes at half-time. St...
