As well as an image of students celebrating their graduation.

This image shows a group of students in a science class learning about the human skeleton from their teacher.

Fascinating photographs of 1930s Nigeria taken by a high-ranking education inspector in the decades before its independence from Britain have been unearthed after more than 65 years.

The images were captured by Edward Harland Duckworth, who served as inspector of Education in Nigeria from 1930 to 1944, and collated into a photo album by his friend Henry Svory, who was a head of department at Ibadan University at that time.

They provide an insight into the lives of the native population in the West African country in the decades preceding its independence from Britain in 1960.

Na my Polar Bears I dey concerned about. They're suffering so hard already

I don't think there are polar bear in Antarctica, they're in the North, Arctic cirle.


The range includes the territory of five nations:

Denmark(Greenland), Norway(Svalbard), Russia, the United States(Alaska) and Canada.

A shocking photo shows the charred remains of a group of apartments that were in the center of the inferno.


Authorities say they were no sprinklers in the high rise.

Them no talk say at all o, they said less and that less no one can say o bro.

Paramedics help residents who were rescued from the burning tower block in Honolulu.

Giving bottled water to residents of the Marco Polo apartment building.

The high-rise has 568 apartments and four commercial spaces.

Paramedics treated several injured people and at least two people were sent to the hospital in serious but stable condition.

Troy Yasuda, who lives in a building across the street, was giving water to people who evacuated.

'They were choking from the smoke,' he said, adding that people told him they evacuated through dark stairwells.

Police were yelling through megaphones for people still inside to come down, Yasuda said.

He watched as people were carried out.

At least three people died and 16 others were injured as dozens of firefighters battled a multiple-alarm fire in a Honolulu high-rise apartment building just outside Waikiki Friday.

The blaze at the Marco Polo apartments started on the 26th floor and spread to at least the 27th floor and several units, said Honolulu Fire Department spokesman Capt. David Jenkins.

He said the number of fatalities could change.

Firefighters say there were reports of people trapped in their units in the burning building.

I thought Lagos will be the first to go

So i saw it, let the day come first.

Maybe it will be worse.

Africa.




Compared with other continents, Africa would lose less of its land to the ultimate sea-level catastrophe, but Earth’s rising heat might make much of the continent uninhabitable.

Asia.



In the east, parts of Asia, including China and Bangladesh would be completely flooded, wiping out around 760 million people based on current population levels.

Parts of India's coastline would also be lost and eroded inland.

North America.



The U.S would vanish, wiping out Florida and the Gulf Coast.

While the hills in San Francisco would become islands and San Diego would be lost forever.

National Geographic has created a series of maps showing what continents would look like if the Earth’s ice melted.


Ice sheets surrounding the North and South poles make up over 10% of our entire planet’s surface, and it’s thought Earth contains over 7, 000,000 cubic miles of frozen water so what would happen if it all melted?


National Geographic has created a series of interactive maps demonstrating the catastrophic effect Earth’s ice could cause if it melted and flowed into the oceans and seas.

This could cause sea levels to rise by 216 feet, devouring cities and even countries all the while drastically altering how continents and coastlines look, and wiping out entire populations.





Europe





National Geographic recently created a series of maps demonstrating the catastrophic effect ice could cause if it melted and flowed into the oceans and seas.

If these ice sheets melted, the rest of the world would be affected.


In Europe, pictured, cities including London and Venice would be lost underwater, as would the whole of the Netherlands and most of Denmark.


It would also cause the Mediterranean to expand and swell the Black and Caspian Seas.

The Antarctic ice sheet is one of the two polar ice caps of the Earth.


It covers about 98% of the Antarctic continent and is the largest single mass of ice on Earth.


It covers an area of almost 14 million square kilometres (5.4 million square miles) and contains 26.5 million cubic kilometres (6,400,000 cubic miles) of ice.


Approximately 61 percent of all fresh water on the Earth is held in the Antarctic ice sheet, an amount equivalent to about 58 m of sea-level rise.

In East Antarctica, the ice sheet rests on a major land mass, while in West Antarctica the bed can extend to more than 2,500m below sea level.

Made a post earlier, i said if the ice in Antarctica should melt into the ocean, the water level will rise.


Like dropping an ice weighing 5kg into a full bucket of water, it's gonna spill.


That's how i understand it.


Some said its wrong, that the ice is already in the water, that it has no effect(fine).


What about the Million miles of ice lying on the ground, hundreds of meters above the soil in Antarctica?


Antarctica is just like other Continents with land mass, mountains and waters.

But the only difference is that the continent is frozen.

Aside the millon miles of ice floating in the water, another million miles of ice is having land beneath it in Antartica.




About 40% of ice in Antartica rests on the ground.



About 44% of the ice is floating in the water.


About 5% lies on the few mountains available in the area.





So whats going to happen if the 45% million cubic miles of ice or frozen water resting on the Ground and on the mountain melt and flow into the ocean, not the 44% floating already




Pictured: Under the ice in Antartica(part).


The second picture, you can see the floating ice around the landmass in Antarctica.



The third picture shows the massive ice covering the land of Antarctica and that's what m talking about.

Youceee:
Op, your stupidity is on a higher level. Well shaa, maybe u came from a well 2 do family

To be sincere, many guys did that in school o.

Let the management bring up 'No school fees-No exam', that's when you will know.

Nice, but i think no8.

tk4rd:
Will it be that badly felt globally.??

Definitely bro, if it keeps breaking and melting.

Ajewealth123:
O ga o.
What harm does this pose?

Some scientist are with and some are against the fact that this can lead to rise in sea level after melting.

They claimed that the break off has claimed 10% of the ice shelf and that can hasten more glacial flowing into the ocean.



But to me personally, i believe that this can cause the ocean level to rise.

Just like filling a bucket with water, then drop 5kg of ice into it.

Its going to spill now abi


Pictured is what normal iceberg looks like, its floating and about 80% of the mass is underwater.

Now imagine something that's over over a trillion-tonne, 5800km2

That rogue ice disrupts maritime safety, then melts, causing water levels all around the world to rise.



Polar animal species like emperor penguins, are also threatened by the slow decimation of their habitats.

Due to the rapid rising of temperatures in West Antarctica, ice shelves are becoming more fragile than ever.

Not only does this massive iceberg pose a security risk to maritime traffic, its separation could cause glaciers stabilized by Larsen C to drift into the Atlantic Ocean and melt, which could raise the global water mark by 10 centimeters.

Despite a recent trend of disbelief toward global warming, Mother Nature has just made herself clear.

A giant, trillion-tonne iceberg hasjust broken away from Antarctic ice shelf, and it’s an alarm we should all be heeding.

The iceberg, which has an area of roughly 4 times the size of London at 5800 km2, was part of an ice sheet known as Larsen C.

Researchers at Swansea University had been watching the glacial divide for months, and using satellite imaging, they were able to determine that the iceberg ‘calved’ (broke away) from Antarctica sometime between July 10th and 12th.

Throw them in a jar until they pile up, boil them to make a new soap.

I recycle everything. Most people pay for a new plastic bag everytime they go grocerry shopping. I bought linen bags and I use them instead of popping 35c for a bag everyday

U?

I no say ur own go dey different.

“It feels like someone is taking a saw and just carving up my abdomen,” says one of them, unaware that the pain he’d just experienced was only the pain of early labor.

When “active” labor commenced, the two men, who had chosen Mother’s Day to make their macho statement, start writhing with uncontrollable pain until one of them suggests that he’s about to throw up.

Their wives accompanied them during their “labor,” although whatever moral support they were there to provide quickly gave way to fits of laughter as they watched their husbands ride out the agony.

“That sucked,” said one of them during his postpartum phase.

“That was horrible.

Mom, if anything that I just experienced is anywhere close to what I did to you all those years ago, i’m sorry, you’re like a superhero.

You’re one tough momma.”

Two Husbands Tried Labor Pain Simulators To Prove “Women Exaggerate Everything”


It’s difficult for men to know just how painful it is for a woman to give birth, which is probably why some men like to pretend that it isn’t such a big deal and that women are simply exaggerating the pain.

But when two husbands volunteered to have themselves hooked up to a couple of labor pain simulators in order to prove their point, things didn’t go quite as expected.

The bullet proof car bombs are made with a small slit in the windscreen to prevent an ISIS suicide bomber being shot dead before completing their mission.



Soldiers claim ISIS armour plate their vehicles to buy their suicide bombers precious few seconds to reach their destination, be it an army checkpoint or a strategically important base.
