Primary Six Pupil Uses Carton To Build An ATM That Works With Bank Card
~0.5 mins read
A young boy identified as Emmanuel Okafor in Primary six, built an Automated Teller Machine (ATM) out of carton, IgbereTV reports.



The ATM works like the regular electronic ATM that is being used by banks.



Emmanuel equipped it with the necessary electrical connection to enable it work with ATM cards and the innovative product dispenses cash once a normal bank card is inserted into it.



In a video which is captured by IgbereTV, he carried out a little demonstration for people to witness how it works.



The talented boy powered the carton-ATM with a generator and inserted a card, after which he inputted a password and it dispensed some cash which he had earlier put into the machine.

Thousands Homeless As Palestinians Pick Up Pieces In Ravaged Gaza, After Israel Ceasefire
~4.1 mins read
Gazans tried to piece back their lives Saturday after a devastating 11-day conflict with Israel that killed more than 200 people and made thousands homeless in the impoverished Palestinian enclave.
Authorities started distributing tents and mattresses in the Gaza Strip, an AFP reporter said, a day after an Egypt-brokered ceasefire ended deadly Israeli air strikes on the besieged enclave and rocket fire out of it towards Israel.
Attention turned to rebuilding the coastal territory controlled by the Islamist group Hamas as rescue workers searched for bodies or survivors in mounds of rubble, while residents tried to assess what was left of their lives.
The latest round of bombardment killed 248 people in Gaza, including 66 children, and wounded over 1,900 since May 10, the Hamas-run health ministry says.
The United Nations says more than half of those killed, the overwhelming majority in Israeli air strikes, were civilians.
Israel claims it has killed “more than 200 terrorists”, including 25 commanders.
Rockets fired by Palestinian armed groups killed 12 people in Israel including a child, an Israeli soldier, an Indian citizen and two Thai nationals, the police say, and wounded around 357 people.

Thousands homeless

“Even if I lost no one in my family, I’m in mourning,” she said.
Sarah Muscroft, the head of the UN humanitarian agency (OCHA) in the occupied Palestinian territories, said the intensity of the bombardment had led to “extensive damage” across Gaza.
“Over 6,000 people have been rendered homeless as a result of the hostilities,” she said.
More than 1,042 housing or commercial units were estimated to have been completely destroyed, and 800,000 people have no regular access to water.

“The building effort is going to be really quite profound,” she told AFP.
Earlier on Saturday, shopkeepers assessed the damage, finding many supplies coated in thick layers of dust.
Wael Amin al-Sharafa said he had stocked up his shop with new clothes to sell during the usually busy period of Eid al-Fitr, at the end of the Muslim holy fasting month of Ramadan.
“But now it’s all lost,” he said. “Who will pay for all this? I have no idea.”

‘Two-state solution’

Convoys of lorries bringing much-needed medicine, food and fuel entered Gaza Friday through the Kerem Shalom crossing after Israel reopened it.
The UN’s Central Emergency Response Fund said it had released $18.5 million for humanitarian efforts.
The latest round of Israeli bombardment forced 91,000 people to flee their homes in Gaza, according to OCHA.
An Egyptian security delegation monitoring the ceasefire deal met Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas on Saturday, Palestinian news agency WAFA said.
Both Israel and Hamas were fast to claim victory.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel’s bombing campaign had been an “exceptional success”.
Hamas’ political chief Ismail Haniyeh said the group had “dealt a painful and severe blow that will leave its deep marks” on Israel, and thanked Iran for “providing funds and weapons”.
An AFP photographer on Saturday saw fighters of Hamas’ armed wing parading in the streets of Gaza city.
The Hamas authorities said government offices would re-open on Sunday.
The international community welcomed the ceasefire and the UN Security Council on Saturday called for “full adherence” to it.
US President Joe Biden on Friday pledged to help organise efforts to rebuild Gaza and said creating a Palestinian state alongside Israel is the “only answer” to the conflict.
“We still need a two-state solution,” he said.
Peace talks have stalled since 2014, including over the key issues of the status of occupied east Jerusalem and Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank.

Al-Aqsa clashes

Israeli police on Friday fired stun grenades at worshippers in Jerusalem’s flashpoint Al-Aqsa mosque compound, and Israeli forces beat an AFP photographer who was covering the unrest.
The incident was reminiscent of the tensions in Jerusalem that sparked the latest round of conflict.
Israeli security forces had cracked down on protests against the expulsion of Palestinians from their homes to make way for Jewish settlers in the annexed east Jerusalem neighbourhood of Sheikh Jarrah.
They had also moved in on worshippers at Al-Aqsa, Islam’s third holiest site, which is revered by Jews as the Temple Mount.
Hamas on May 10 launched rockets from Gaza towards Israel, in “solidarity” with Palestinians in Jerusalem.
The conflict sparked mob violence in Israel, and clashes between Israeli forces and Palestinian protesters in the West Bank.
Israeli forces have killed 25 Palestinians, including four under the age of 18, in the West Bank since May 10, authorities in the territory say. Israel claims five tried to attack Israeli forces.

Oppo Reno4 SE In The Pipeline With A 6.43 OLED, Three Cameras, 65W Charging
~1.3 mins read
Earlier this week a mysterious Oppo phone turned up on TENAA with design similar to the Oppo F17 pair, but with an LED flash behind the fourth circle in the camera setup.

Reports from Weibo claim a new device called Oppo Reno4 SE is on its way, and the specs align with the listing at the Chinese regulatory, meaning a launch is right around the corner.

Oppo Reno4 SE in the pipeline with a 6.43” OLED, three cameras, 65W fast chargingThe leakster claims the Reno4 SE will have a Dimensity 800 chipset, coupled with 8GB RAM and 128 gigs of storage. The front of the phone will have a 6.43” Super AMOLED by Samsung, a single hole for the 32MP selfie camera, and 90Hz refresh rate.

The trio of cameras on the back will come with a 48MP Sony IMX586 sensor for the main shooter + 8MP ultra-wide-angle cam, doubling as a macro shooter + 2MP depth sensor. The battery is said to be 4,300 mAh, which isn’t so impressive, but it will charge in no time with the 65W fast charger.

All this body will be just 7.85 mm thin and will weigh 169 grams - this is Oppo’s answer to the vivo S7 5G smartphone. Price is expected to be CNY2,599, which translates to $380.
