Bras are nice. But how often do you need to wash them? Well, funnily enough, the frequency with which you should clean your bra depends on how many times it's been worn. According to Elle 's Julie Kerr, some women have plenty of the clothing items, while others have a handful of favourites that they regularly rotate. But simply, bras should be washed every three-to-six wearings , the lifestyle writer says, and should be interchanged so the elastic can 'rest'. So don't wear the same bra consecutively, if you can avoid doing so. As you're well aware, bras cover an 'intimate' area. They pick up sweat and bacteria. There are some other things you

Nigeria is hoping to localise Internet traffic in the country by as much as 50 per cent by 2020 through the Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) Nigeria currently has. The rate of growth of Internet traffic is a useful indicator of the health of the entire Internet ecosystem, as well as in measuring the development of the digital economy. Though, localisation of Internet traffic by telecommunications operators and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) has increased compared to about five years ago, the Internet Exchange Point of Nigeria (IXPN) believed that increased collaboration among stakeholders can actually bring the required rise in the traffic. Accordingly, localising Internet traffic reduces the delays associated with routing local traffic internationally. By the move, the drop in latency increases speed and better quality of service to end-users. An Internet exchange point (IX or IXP) is a physical infrastructure through which Internet service providers (ISPs) and Content Del...
