E.g cassava platation, maize plantation. (ii)mixed cropping can defined as the system of planting two or more crops on a piece of land at a time e.g planting of maize and cassava. (iii)mixed farming can be defined as the system of farming through which two or more farming practices are being carried out. This is the farming of rearing of animals and also cultivating a piece of land for farming. Such farming are of immense benefits as the waste of such animals serve as organic manure for the crops, while the crops left-over after harvest serve as source of feeds for farm animals. (iv)shifting cultivation can be defined as the syetm of moving from one piece of land to another, this promotes the soil fertility as the soil regains its nutrients quickly. This act or process preserves the soil fertility within the soil. i.e the crops will be quite different from the one that will be planted in another year. (v)crop rotation can be defined as the process of rotating crops being planted on a piece of land, in other to prevent fertility of the soil. By ensuring that the heavy crops are not planted continuously without allowing a light feeder crops being planted. Hence, heavy crops such as cassava are not continuously planted because much soil nutrients are being used up during the period of growth.

https://static.goal.com/1427500/1427542_hp.jpg Cristiano Ronaldo has revealed that he hopes to continue working under Carlo Ancelotti at Real Madrid next season. The Portuguese netted a hat-trick in Los Blancos’ 7-3 victory over Getafe on Saturday, which marked the end of their La Liga campaign, and he made it clear after the match that his admiration for the Coach extended beyond their professional endeavours. “[Carlo’s] a great Coach and an amazing person. I hope we can work together next season,” he wrote in an Instagram post accompanied by a photograph of the pair. Ronaldo’s treble was his eighth in the League for 2014-15, leaving him just 10 goals behind Madrid’s all-time leading scorer Raul Gonzalez. |

https://sportsdayonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Iheanacho1.jpg -Billed To Star Against Southampton Flying Eagles star, Kelechi Iheanacho might make his senior team debut for Manchester City in their last game of the season against Southampton. The development will not affect Iheanacho’s participation at the FIFA U-20 World Cup, as he is expected to fly straight to New Zealand to join his Flying Eagles colleagues on Tuesday, May 26th. All fingers are pointing towards Iheanacho’s senior debut, after Manchester Evening News stated that one of City’s promising talents could make his first-team bow, after impressing club manager, Manuel Pellegrini. The report went on to affirm that “Kelechi Iheanacho could make his senior Manchester City debut on Sunday” and further stated that the 2013 FIFA U-17 World Cup most valuable player has already received lofty words from Pellegrini. A report on the site reads. “The young Nigerian was expected to join up with his international team-mates earlier this month, but will now not do so until after the Southampton game. “Manuel Pellegrini rates the striker highly and an end-of-season game with nothing resting on it for the hosts would be a perfect opportunity to give him some minutes. “A first competitive appearance for the Blues would cap an eventful year for Iheanacho. The 18-year-old first caught the eye on City’s 2014 summer tour. “A few appearances in the US for the Blues was enough for Pellegrini to call him ‘a very important player for us in the future.’ It depends on the way he takes this profession, but I think he’s a good talent.” |

https://daylight.ng/image_uploads/Luis_figo.jpg Luis Figo has pulled out of the race to be named Fifa president, leaving Prince Ali Bin Al Hussein as the sole candidate against Sepp Blatter. The former Portugal international had intended to stand against incumbent Sepp Blatter along with Prince Ali and Michael van Praag. Van Praag withdrew his candidacy earlier on Thursday in order to lend his support to Prince Ali and revealed Luis Figo had also been contemplating whether or not to pull out. And Figo has now released a statement to confirm he will not stand for the post, taking a stunning swipe at the election process. "Over the past few months I have not only witnessed that desire [for change], I have witnessed consecutive incidents, all over the world, that should shame anyone who desires soccer to be free, clean and democratic," his statement reads. "I have seen with my own eyes federation presidents who, after one day comparing Fifa leaders to the devil, then go on stage and compare those same people with Jesus Christ. Nobody told me about this. I saw it with my own eyes. "The candidates were prevented from addressing federations at congresses while one of the candidates always gave speeches on his own from the rostrum. There has not been a single public debate about each candidate's proposals. "This [election] process is a plebiscite for the delivery of absolute power to one man - something I refuse to go along with. "That is why, after a personal reflection and sharing views with two other candidates in this process, I believe that what is going to happen on May 29 in Zurich is not a normal electoral act. "And because it is not, don't count on me. My decision is made, I will not stand in what is being called an election for the Fifa presidency. "I offer my deepest thanks to all those who have supported me and I ask them to keep alive their desire for a regeneration which, though it may take some time, will come." |

Ogden believes that Bale will return to England this summer and United are most likely to satisfy that desire. He said: ‘United want him, they’ve got the money to do it. Bale’s domestic situation is that his girlfriend and his daughter are living back in the UK.’ The Red Devils are desperate to convince the Welshman to join them will be boosted by the latest revelation. A member of Bale’s family also told the Express that he is keen on teaming up with Louis van Gaal at United. With Carlo Ancelotti’s departure seemingly imminent following their Champions League, Bale has been pushed even closer to the Madrid exit door. |

Unknown gunmen stormed and bombed the site of a ~ PIUS UTOMI EKPE Abuja - The National Youth Wing of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Thursday set up a committee that would liaise with the party’s leadership in all youth matters. Inaugurating the committee in Abuja, National Youth Leader of the party, Dasuki Jalo, said the youth wing would evolve better and more inclusive governance where every youth would be a proud and committed stakeholder. Jalo explained that the composition of the 13-member committee was seven leaders and a member each from the six geopolitical zones. The committee is expected to negotiate on all matters on behalf of the youth of the party and report from time to time, their activities to Jalo in order to effectively champion the interest of the youths. Jalo charged the committee to be focused as they would be confronted with complex and emotive issues while strong views would be expressed by many people. "The committee, therefore, will engage in intense introspection about the challenges confronting our youth and to chart the best and most acceptable way for the resolution of such challenges in the overall collective interest of all Nigerian youths. "I urge the members of the committee to work extra hard to ensure that their deliberations are completed well ahead of the forthcoming handover of power to the President-elect," he said. Responding, chairman of the committee, Sobande Sesan, pledged that the members ''will be sincere with genuine commitment of the leadership of APC. "We'll pursue the course of action that will involve all segments of Nigerian youths and build the Nigerian project of Muhammadu Buhari, and bring the change that we all want to achieve. "We promised to effectively discharge our responsibilities as the youth wing of the governing party and there is a need for us to reposition ourselves for the overall benefit of all Nigerians," he said. http://www.news24.com.ng/Elections/News/APC-sets-up-committee-on-youths-welfare-20150515 |

Over the last couple months, I have often been asked what I plan to do as a recent college graduate. My response has been that I will be attending medical school in Chicago. “Oh! Medical school!” many exclaim as their eyes light up, “So you’re going to be a rich doctor.” This response as well as most others I have received seemed to imply that medicine is an ideal profession if one is gifted enough to pursue it. Medicine has had the luxury of being one of the great professions within societies throughout history, along with practitioners in areas such as law and religion. Though some may argue that modernism has significantly transformed these historic societal roles, there is still a great deal of respect and prestige commanded by these positions. Perhaps my view is a bit romanticized, but I think there is value in viewing our future physicians as being called to the medical field to share their talents and abilities rather than being gifted enough to pursue professional prestige and a high salary. This distinction seems particularly important for professions which deal in the treatment of people. To heal a person, whether it be his body or soul, requires both additional humility and more carefully defined goals. The former is well reflected in the old adage, “With great power comes great responsibility.” Work which affects the lives of other human beings carries with it additional moral and ethical weight. The second requirement is a result of the former. If a car is broken, for example, it is usually easy to identify one’s options and the implications of such decisions. This is not the case for a human being with a diverse array of needs from physiological to psycho-social. Thus these professions require careful deliberations to determine appropriate goals and limits, and without those goals and limits, there is a greater risk for a lack of congruency, leading to disagreements about the correct place of such professions in a given society. Approaching a field such as medicine as a simple choice may undermine the humility it requires and further complicate our attempts to define its goals and limits. Studies continue to suggest that a substantial percent of physicians are dissatisfied with their profession due to pay and a growing gap between professional and personal expectations. I think physicians and their patients may be expecting infallible medical professionals who operate independently and achieve financial benefits, whereas modern medical practice continues to demand collaboration and greater humility. If I felt that I chose medicine to achieve some personal gain, I would be more likely to expect personal benefits which outweigh my sacrifices. Approaching the medical field as a calling shifts one’s focus to the positive impact one can make in his/her community, which may add both to the satisfaction of medical practitioners as well as their patients. Before the remarkable technological growth of the last century, the medical field was limited in its power. Today nearly every known condition has a course of treatment, many with high rates of success. This newly obtained power has sparked a number of debates over the last few decades about the proper limits and goals of medicine. It is curious to me that conversations surrounding healthcare reform seem primarily concerned with money. It seems that for many economic concerns define the proper place of medicine and we must simply balance affordability and access with innovation. This cannot be right. Surely we would like to believe that our physicians sincerely care about our well-being and are not simply trying to maximize their profits by balancing our demand for ‘caring’ with their supply. For this and many other reasons, medicine is unique and economics alone will not provide us with the insight we desire. Rather than struggling to answer each ethical dilemma facing modern medicine individually when they arise, I think significant insight can be gained by attempting to trace these dilemmas back to their source and then posing more global questions. To do so, let us compare the field of medicine to religious institutions. When a young man decides to become a priest, for example, we expect that he felt called to such a life. Yes, he likely could have pursued different professions, but he felt a pull, perhaps even a duty, to become a priest. When his parishioners seek his counsel, we would expect him to be humble to the power of his position and to provide guidance which would best serve the souls of those individuals, according to their common beliefs. The limits and goals of his profession are clearly defined by the doctrines of his religious institution. Although he serves his parishioners, he is not expected to tell these individuals what they want to hear so much as what they need to hear according to the teachings of their church. Medicine shares similar requirements for humility and clearly defined goals, yet we tend to approach this field quite differently. Perhaps there is something to be gained by asking ourselves to what set of rules and principles should our future physicians answer? I would suggest that physicians should be servants of health and that health be the goal and limit of medicine. Of course defining health in a given society is no easy task; but if such a definition was achieved and universally accepted, I believe patients’ and physicians’ expectations may converge through this understanding, facilitating better patient-physician relationships and overall healthcare. Much like the priest and his parishioners, patients may instead trust their physicians as servants of their health rather than prestigious professionals hoping to make a lot of money or powerful crusaders against death. Physicians may also face less ambiguity and greater satisfaction serving the health of his/her community rather than striving to achieve a return for their investment. Furthermore we may find ourselves agreeing on more of the tough, ethical dilemmas facing modern medicine. Thus I conclude not with a magic answer but set of broader questions and a calling to physicians and patients alike to work towards a better understanding of health in our society. |
The American University of Nigeria, Yola, recently graduated a total number of 210 students (184 were undergraduates and 19, masters degree holders). 24 of them graduated with first class honours. During the ceremony, the president of the institution, Prof Margee Ensign charged the graduands thus: “Today is called Commencement, it marks not only the successful completion of your work with us, but most importantly it marks the start of something new; the start of your life as a university graduate, your life as an educated citizen of a democratic country.” The National chairman of the All Progressive Congress, APC, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun who was present at the occasion in his speech said urged the graduating student to contribute their quota to the development of the nation. “These are hard times. And when the times are hard, the tough gets going. You are going to join us in proffering solution to the new direction, the new trajectory on which this nation is going to embark from May 29, 2015.” |
