German Parliament Approves Same-sex marriage

German Parliament approves same-sex marriage Germany's Bundestag — its lower house of Parliament — approved a measure to legalize same-sex marriage today after Chancellor Angela Merkel helped to roll back her party's opposition to the measure, though she ultimately voted against it hersel.. The chancellor had notably struggled with her view, ultimately expressing a belief that marriage is between a man and a woman, but said after the vote, "I hope that with today's vote, not only that mutual respect is there between the individual positions, but also that a piece of social peace and togetherness could be created." *What's next: *The measure will go to the Parliament's upper house and then for the president's signature — both considered routine — paving the way for the first same-sex marriages this fall.

Nigeria Universities increase tuition fee, check what your school will pay next session

No fewer than 38 universities across the country have increased their tuition fees as a result of poor funding by the Federal and State governments. The Chairman of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), University of Ibadan Chapter, Dr. Deji Omole, made this known in a statement made available to newsmen in Abuja on Monday. The statement which assessed the two years of President Muhammadu Buhari in office, lamented that the current government had made Nigerians poorer. Omole said that the public education was not taken seriously because most children of the rich and those in high offices do not attend school in Nigeria. “The latest increment might be attributed to poor funding by the federal and state governments as ASUU poorly rated the President Muhammadu Buhari in the area of funding of university education.

Review of the Autobiography, Range Rover Vogue.(photos)

The Autobiography’s Life Story, Told Biographically For an extra whiff of, well, speed, Land Rover has bestowed upon the SVAutobiography the very same 550-hp 5.0-liter supercharged V-8 used in the high-performance Range Rover Sport SVR. The previous ne plus ultra Range Rover, the long-wheelbase Autobiography Black, made do with a 510-hp version of the same engine. We’d say an extra 40 horsepower and 41 lb-ft of torque (the SV has 502 lb-ft!) would be a useful upgrade on its own, but Land Rover didn’t stop there. The long-wheelbase-only SV also inherits a new exhaust system with “a subtly enriched engine note,” Brembo front brake calipers, and a new front grille featuring a Graphite Atlas (gray) finish and polished chrome garnishes. According to Land Rover’s figures, the SVAutobiography takes the same 5.5 seconds to reach 60 mph as a LWB Range Rover Autobiography, but we’re thinking that’s conservative considering the extra power. (A short-wheelbase Range Rover we tested with the 510-...
