Henry Lloyd-Hughes , actor When people meet me in the flesh, they often seem disappointed that I don’t resemble Mark Donovan, the character I played in  The Inbetweeners , a bit more closely. “Where is the French crop, where is the sportswear?” they think. Instead they find someone with a lifelong enthusiasm for dressing snappily – for men’s tailoring, militaria and exotic vintage . But sports casual not so much. In fact my all-time fashion inspiration goes a bit like this: West Indies cricket teams of the 70s-80s.  David Niven .  David Hockney . Joe Strummer .  Jack Nicholson .  Chet Baker . My clothes mean a lot to me; they have history. The more long-lived the item, the greater its ranking in the wardrobe. I’m thinking of a shabby Italian tweed jacket of my mum’s that I poached when I was 15. I remember being told I was dressed like a “young fogey”; I took it as a compliment, and never looked back. t that I don’t rock shiny new sportswear. I do – but n...

21. No one can insult or hurt you without your permission. One of the golden keys to happiness and great success is the way you interpret events which unfold before you. Highly successful people are master interpreters. People who have attained greatness have an ability which they have developed to interpret negative or disempowering events as positive challenges which will assist them in growing and moving even farther up the ladder of success. There are no negative experiences only experiences which aid in your development and toughen your character so that you may soar to new heights. There are no failures, only lessons. 22. Take a speed reading course. Reading is a powerful way to gain many years of experience from a few hours of study. For example, most biographies reflect the strategies and philosophies of great leaders or courageous individuals. Read them and model them. Speed reading will allow you to digest large quantities of material in relatively small periods of time. ...

China launches quantum-enabled satellite Micius  From the section China The rocket containing the satellite took off from the Gobi Desert China has successfully launched the world's first quantum-enabled satellite, state media said. It was carried on a rocket which blasted off from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre in China's north west early on Tuesday. The satellite is named after the ancient Chinese scientist and philosopher Micius. The project tests a technology that could one day offer digital communication that is "hack-proof". But even if it succeeds, it is a long way off that goal, and there is some mind-bending physics to get past first. How does it work? The satellite will create pairs of so-called entangled photons - tiny sub-atomic particles of light whose properties are dependent on each other - beaming one half of each pair down to base stations in China and Austria. This special kind of laser has several curious properties, one of which...

​Bayern Munich youngster Kingsley Coman has revealed his desire for Manchester United new boy Paul Pogba to join him at the German club at some point in the future, according to a report in  ​Goal.com. Pogba re-joined United in a world record transfer deal worth around  £89m, and, having played with the former Juventus midfielder on international duty with France, as well as previously with Juve, Coman selected Pogba as the one player who he'd love to have at Bayern. "If I could choose from a player, I'd like Pogba for Bayern. I'd like that good, it's fantastic," Coman confirmed. The two French youngsters spent a season together at Juventus during the 2014-15, before Coman left to join Bayern Munich on a two-year loan deal, which could become permanent if the 20-year-old's development progresses as rapidly as it has been in the past year or so.  The pair also played important roles in helping France reach the final of Euro 2016 in th...

As Kate Abiodun stretches to wipe off cobwebs from her half full provisions store, a customer strolls in. She hurries off the table she had mounted to aid her clean up exercise, to attend to the clean-shaved gentleman, who identified five items for purchase. In payment for the items, he pulls out his mobile phone from his breast pocket, punched some buttons and Kate’s bank account was credited. This is possible because of the “magic” of a mobile app. Glancing at the credit notification, Kate, who is 30, savours the security which this service affords; few months ago she had lost N120,000 to robbers as she tried to deposit the day’s takings at a commercial bank within the confines of Orile, home to a sizeable chunk of low income earners in Lagos. Eliminating the risk of being robbed is one of the many upsides of having a bank account. It also saves time, boosts labour productivity, encourages savings and ultimately avails the convenience of financial inclusion. Despite climbing to 44...

DESIRE ACCELERATED PROMOTION?   Memorise: Seeth thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men. Proverbs 22:29 Read: 2 nd  Kings 2:9-15, (KJV) 9  And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me. 10  And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be so. 11  And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. 12  And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clot...
