VIDEO AND PICTURES: BOWEN UNIVERSITY HOSTEL BURNT

A room (precisely Luke Hostel room 47) got burnt in the early hours of Thursday March 27 2015. Most of the room's occupants' luggage were burnt, including books, clothes, boxes and several valuable items. Some people are speculating that the fire was caused by a boiling ring left on by one of the students while others are saying that it was caused by an unplugged iron. Thankfully no lives were lost and nobody was wounded. Minutes after the fire was doused, the Dean of Student affairs, MRS. Sangoyomi was seen in the hostel examining the room. The fate of the room's occupants are not yet known but we hope they don't get into much trouble. Come back for updates on this post and more info.PICTURES BELOW

The genetic and scientific view of the EBOLA VIRUS

Virology The EBOV genome is approximately 19 kb in length. It encodes seven structural proteins: nucleoprotein (NP), polymerase cofactor (VP35), (VP40), GP, transcription activator (VP30), VP24, and RNA polymerase (L).[3] Structure[edit] Electron micrographs of EBOV show them to have the characteristic threadlike structure of a filovirus.[4] EBOV VP30 is around 288 amino acids long.[5] The virions are tubular in general form but variable in overall shape and may appear as the classic shepherd's crook or eyebolt, as a U or a 6, or coiled, circular, or branched; laboratory techniques, such as centrifugation, may be the origin of some of these formations.[6] Virions are generally 80 nm in diameter with a lipid bilayer anchoring the glycoprotein which projects 7 to 10 nm long spikes from its surface.[7] They are of variable length, typically around 800 nm, but may be up to 1000 nm long. In the center of the virion is a structure called nucleocapsid, which is formed by the helically wou...

U.S. Missionary who contacted Ebola virus flown out of Liberia.

A second U.S. missionary who contracted Ebola in Liberia has arrived back in the United States. Nancy Writebol traveled on a specially outfitted plane that landed in the southeastern city of Atlanta on Tuesday. She will be treated at Emory University Hospital, alongside an American doctor who also contracted the deadly virus while treating patients in Liberia. Both received a dose of an experimental serum before leaving Liberia. On Monday, officials at a New York City hospital said a man suffering from a high fever and gastrointestinal problems arrived at the emergency room and was quickly isolated. They say the patient recently traveled to a West African country where Ebola has been reported, and is now undergoing tests to determine the cause of his illness. No other details about the man were given. Authorities in Nigeria Monday reported the country's second confirmed case of Ebola -- a doctor who treated the first patient who died July 25 in Lagos. Eight others are being monitor...
