iPad Neck Strain: 5 Tips for Avoiding Injury
Sitting too long in any position is always inviting injury, as bodies simply aren't meant to sit frozen for long periods of time. Muscles and tendons need a break. As Dennerlein said: "The ideal posture is the next one you're going to take," meaning the shift of position is everything. If you're sitting in one position for more than a few minutes, that's too long. "Think about it: Even when we sleep, we don't tend to stay in the same posture for a very long time — we roll over and move in our sleep," he said. "If you're feeling uncomfortable, listen to your body."

MasterCard, Visa bicker over control of e-payment market
The third operator, Interswitch, a local card firm and owner of Verve cards, is seen as the underdog, The Nation has learnt.
The Middle East and Africa region, which includes Nigeria, remains one of the world’s fastest growing e-payment markets, especially after the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) introduced cash-less banking, a policy that has increased the volume of e-transactions in the country.
