Finance and Health:10 tips to save on prescriptions

These days, getting sick can be a costly business, especially if you can’t afford medical insurance. Not only do you have to worry about paying the consultation bill from the doctor, but the cost of prescriptions also seems to skyrocket each time you need to have them filled. The good news is that there are many ways to save money on your prescriptions. While they may require some effort on your part, the savings will be well worth it.

CAREER:

CERTIFIED OR QUALIFIED. WHERE DOES THE DIFFERENCE LIE? Being qualified means you have practised, experienced and proven that you are capable of performing or handling tasks or situations. On the other hand, being certified means to confirm formally as true, accurate, or genuine. Fresh graduates are usually the main "targets" for certifications because they are usually informed even before leaving school that XYZ certifications are important, and this even goes on to the service year. A lot of "crash" programmes are conducted, and usually, most corps members have a target of leaving service with at least four certificates: NYSC discharge certificate, probably a Local Government certificate of commendation, and at least two other certificates (e.g IFCP, NINT, OFR, OON, e.t.c) However, it is very crucial to understand that although professional courses and certifications are important, the more important issue is becoming who the employers want; becomi...

Sport: Sexy Female Appointed Coach Of Men's Football Team

A former Croatia Miss Sport finalist and footballer Tihana Nemcic became the first woman to be appointed coach of a men’s club on Tuesday, local media reported. The 24-year-old Nemcic will coach Croatian fifth division side NK Viktorija Vojakovac. “I am the head coach and I have full liberty to create and plan the team’s tactics,” she told daily 24 sata (24 hours). “The guys know the game, but there is a lot more to do,” added Nemcic, who has played for ten years for Dinamo Zagreb’s women’s team and the national squad. Nemcic said that there was no reason why eyebrows should be raised in her getting the job. “If a woman and a man have the same professional qualifications for a coaching job, I see no reason why I should not get into male football,” she said. In 2008, Nemcic, a long-haired blonde, was among 15 finalists for Croatia’s Miss Sport. She said her players “listen to me and make no problems.” “We are a great team and we all want to improve and reach the...

Ravi Borgaonkar showed off the attack at the Ekoparty security conference, reports Slashgear. There he showed how a hacker could direct the user to a webpage where some malicious code could plunge them into a factory reset nightmare. Borgaonkar's talk, Dirty use of USSD Codes in Cellular Network, showed how the Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) protocol, which is commonly used, can be exploited by attackers. The attack can rely on people following links that suggest a trip to a website where you might see a "sexy co-ed" or equivalent. But as we have seen time and time before, people will fall for this type of thing. QR codes can also send people to attack webpages, according to Borgaonkar, as can NFC tags. Basically, anything that can open a URL can be used, he explained. He said that attackers can kill a SIM card and wipe the...
