Too Many Holidays For The Poor
Independence Day, African Union Day, Republic Day and Founders Day. To these add the religious holidays and the others. Refreshing to hear a counter view. We don't need to declare every important day on our national calender a holiday whilst we go cup in hand to other nations who work their socks off.

Let's have more creative ways of celebrating days without wasting it. Military Parades, Special Students and Pupils Activities, Symposia, Weekend Sporting Activities, Religious Gatherings, etc.

Security And Privacy
EU commissioner hot for saying it was dumb of celeb's to have stored their naked pic's online.

There is no security on the Internet, never has been. At least not yet. Just hope you are not too important for a hacker or the state to be interested in your data. It's just too easy for someone to lay his hands on them.

Formula 1, Nico Retires In Singapore
Mercedes has the speed but not the reliability. 5 retires and many other incidents that the drivers managed to complete the races with. Gives Hamilton a greater chance but no certainty with so many issues.
