New life beckons for Bangladesh's 'Tree Man' as surgery begins
Dhaka, Bangladesh (CNN)Not even in his wildest dreams did Abul Bajandra think he would live to see this day. Lying on a hospital bed at Dhaka Medical College, Bangladesh's so-called "Tree Man" is just hours away from the first round of surgery that will hopefully change his life for the better.
He is suffering from an extremely rare genetic condition known as Epidermodysplasia Verruciformis,or "Tree Man" disease, which causes extreme wart-like lesions across the body.
"I don't think I can sleep tonight. For a poor fellow like me from a remote part of the country, this is too good to be true," he tells CNN from his bed.
For any first time visitor, it's hard to appreciate Bajandra's reality. He has tree-like branches growing out from all over his fingers, palms and feet, the sight of which would make most people squeamish.

Nigeria head coach Sunday Oliseh resigns amidst various internal struggles
After just seven months on the job, Nigeria head coach Sunday Oliseh has resigned from his post, claiming “contract violations, lack of support, and unpaid wages.” Oliseh has had a rocky relationship with his employer over the past few months. According to reports in Africa, the 41-year-old found out about his country’s attempts to replace him with now-Morrocco manager Herve Renard. Days ago, his top assistant Tijani Babangida was fired despite his pleas. Oliseh has also complained of unpaid wages, which now reportedly sit at four months. Oliseh also claimed that a lack of funds has hindered his ability to execute his job, including an inability to watch Nigerian players who play overseas.

Civil servant who did no work for six years found out by officials preparing to reward him for 'long service'
A Spanish civil servant who did no work for six years has been fined almost €27,000 (£21,000) after his long absence was finally noticed.
Officials in Cádiz were preparing to hand Joaquín García an award for long service when inquiries revealed the true extent of his contribution to the local authority.
In 1990, he was given a €37,000-a-year post at the Aguas de Cádiz public utilities provider, Spain’s El Mundo newspaper reported.
Jorge Blas Fernandez, who served as the city’s deputy mayor from 1995 to 2015, said he was given an office in the municipal building and no more was heard for more than a decade.
“We thought the water company was supervising him but that was not the case,” he added.
“We found out when we were about to present him with a commemorative plaque for 20 years of service.”
Inquiries with the manager of Aguas de Cádiz, who had an office opposite, revealed he had not seen Mr García for several years and when Mr Blas phoned his absent employee, he allegedly “could not answer” questions on what he had been doing.
A legal case was launched in 2010 alleging he had not done a day’s work since 2004, despite continuing to collect his €37,000 (£29,000) annual salary.
After a protracted lawsuit, Mr García, lost his appeal at a Cádiz court on Thursday and will have to pay his fine, which is the largest possible, The Times reported.
Mr García denied the allegations, claiming that he turned up each day but found there was no work to do.
Asked why he did not report the situation, he said he had a family to support and feared it would be difficult to find another job, so read extensively and became an “expert on the philosopher Spinoza”.
The 69-year-old was not fired from the post because he had already retired.

US State execute oldest inmate on death-row prisoner before his 73rd birthday
US state, Georgia executed its oldest death-row prisoner early this morning at 12: 46 am, just days before his 73rd birthday for murdering a clerk of a convenience store.
The septuagenarian, Brandon Jones, was given a lethal dose of injection at a state prison in Jackson, where he has already spent more than 36 years behind bars for the 1979 murder.Analysts say Jones’ case is an example of the “double punishment” faced by many death row prisoners who are made to spend decades in solitary confinement in anticipation of death.
Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer last year lashed out against “unconscionably long delays that undermine the death penalty’s penological purpose.”
Jones and his co-defendant Van Solomon, both African Americans were sentenced to death for killing a white gas station store clerk during a robbery.
A police officer told the court that he saw Jones close the door to a room in the back of the convenience store and, not long after, heard four gunshots. The officer said he went into the room and found Jones and another man, Van Roosevelt Solomon. A short time later, authorities found the clerk’s body; he had been shot five times, and two revolvers were found.
Solomon died on the electric chair in 1985 whilst Jones denied shooting the clerk and prosecutors have never been able to determine who fired the shot.
Death penalty critics have argued that many death row inmates were never treated fairly because they were sentenced to death at a time when they lacked a satisfactory defense system and that if they were tried today, the outcome would be different.
Already four persons have been executed in the United States this year.
“Jones’s case raises questions of proportionality and discriminatory application of the death penalty,” the Death Penalty Information Center said in a statement.
Jones, who would have turned 73 on Valentine’s Day, refused the opportunity to request a final meal ahead of his 7:00 pm (0100 GMT) execution on Wednesday.
Attorneys for Jones had petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday to step in, filing two stay requests but the justices rejected both petition without any recorded dissents.
Jones was executed early Wednesday (February, 3 2016) morning at 12:46 a.m. according to state corrections officials. He took a final prayer and recorded a statement, they said.

Incredible New Airplane Without Windows, Just Screens! Are You Ready For A Ride?
The Center for Process Innovation, a British technology research company, thinks they've got the next big step in aviation transportation figured out. Their idea is this: they want to remove the windows from passenger planes and replace them with OLED touch-screens that extend along the plane’s entire length and display the view from outside through cameras mounted on the plane’s exterior. Sounds scary? Only if you are afraid of heights and flying.
