| Sports › Manchester United Hammered At Chelsea – What Mourinho And Guardiola Have In Comm by holyprof(op): 7:41am On Oct 24, 2016 |
By the time the second Manchester derby kicks off on Wednesday, October 26, 2016 – Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiola will now have something in common. Both have hammered with 4-0 losses on their return to former clubs. Guardiola’s Champions League embarrassment at Barcelona with Manchester City on Wednesday, October 19, 2016 Proved to be a preface to how Mourinho saw his Manchester United side brutally taken apart by Chelsea in the Premier League on Sunday. If Guardiola was still hurting from his Camp Nou calamity, More salt was added to the injury as City experienced another of its Premier League setbacks with a 1-1 home draw to Southampton – United’s collapse at Stamford Bridge, will have done little to pacify the Spanish tactician. Something else these managerial titans have in common is – Both have collected only two points out of a possible nine in the Premier League. And one of their trophy quests will end on Wednesday when City and United meet in the League Cup. http://priceless.com.ng/ Read full post on: http://priceless.com.ng/2016/10/24/manchester-united-hammered-at-chelsea-what-mourinho-and-guardiola-have-in-common/ |

| Family › Today’s Children Growing Too Fast. by holyprof(op): 6:44pm On Oct 23, 2016 |
From the time of a child’s conception, parents are swamped with advice on how to bring up their children. They are desperate to ‘compete’ with other parents, pushing their children relentlessly in order that they, too, can be ‘competitive’. “Some parents and educators believe that a child is like a huge container. To insure the child’s success, they think it their job to fill it up with as much information as possible, as quickly as possible. This misconception is damaging the brilliance of millions of our youth. In today’s Internet age, information is growing exponentially as the power of the Internet grows. Wikipedia, Google, Bing and similar sites provide information whenever and wherever required, but without filtering what is actually worth knowing. Add the pressure we all feel to do more, to experience more and, in turn, to provide more for our children. And so, more and more parents are bent on stimulating and pushing their children further on the thinking that the more young children know, the more they do, and the better their chances of success later in life. For Instance, Many parents in African freely admit to enrolling their children in extra lessons, holiday lesson, online classes and vocational training – imagining that one of these efforts, will pay off into success. http://priceless.com.ng/ Full post on: http://priceless.com.ng/2016/10/17/todays-children-growing-too-fast/ |

| Health › How Drug Addiction Works by holyprof(op): 3:42am On Oct 23, 2016 |
When you get paid your salary, when your football team beats a fierce rival or when you get promoted at work – you likely feel so good, you can almost touch the sky. The good feeling you get from the above scenario is your brain at work and because natural pleasures in our lives are necessary for survival, the limbic system creates an appetite that drives you to seek out those things. For first time drug users, the feelings of pleasure can be intense and unatural, so the reward circuitry of the brain is activated, dopamine is then released. Drugs have other effects. For instance, a first-time smoker also may cough and feel nauseated from toxic chemicals in a tobacco or marijuana cigarette. But the brain starts changing as a result of the unnatural flood of neurotransmitters. Read full article from source: http://priceless.com.ng/2016/10/14/how-drug-addiction-works/ |

| Technology Market › How To Avoid Getting Cheated (scammed) At Computer Village. by holyprof(op): 5:31pm On Oct 14, 2016 |
It is generally agreed that the Computer Village, located in Ikeja, Lagos is the biggest computer and gadgets market in the West Africa. If you are visiting computer village for the first time – your experience may quickly turn from amazement by the sheer number of people and activities that the market contains daily to anger, disappointment and disbelief at how quickly you have been separated from your money by aggressive, desperate men and woman who assemble at the market trying to make their fortune from innocent and unsuspecting first time buyers. Except you religiously follow this guide until at least you know how the market works. 1. Never Patronize street Hawkers/Sellers: Situation: the moment you set foot in the market these street hustlers will start advertising all sort of product and services to you, sometimes they make targeted guesses at what you need and many times they are right (they have a lot of practice). Reality: These Guys Have no shops, no products and no traceable location. in the best case scenario they take you to a shop and pretend to own it, they then inflate the price of the product – so they make a cut big or small off whatever you buy in that shop. in the worse case scenario they sell you defective or bad products right there on the street and disappear into thin air like magic.....
