It doesn't matter. It's just a preseason match and Chelsea did not even field a strong XI. It's mainly the summer signings who have not yet blended with the team

Science/TechnologyFull Moon Affects Sleep Quality by launique(op): 11:41pm On Jul 25, 2013
A full Moon can disturb a good night's sleep, scientists believe.

Researchers found evidence of a "lunar influence" in a study of 33 volunteers sleeping in tightly controlled laboratory conditions.

When the Moon was round, the volunteers took longer to nod off and had poorer quality sleep, despite being shut in a darkened room, Current Biology reports.

They also had a dip in levels of a hormone called melatonin that is linked to natural-body clock cycles.

When it is dark, the body makes more melatonin. And it produces less when it is light.

Being exposed to bright lights in the evening or too little light during the day can disrupt the body's normal melatonin cycles.

But the work in Current Biology, by Prof Christian Cajochen and colleagues from Basel University in Switzerland, suggests the Moon's effects may be unrelated to its brightness.
Lunar rhythms

The volunteers were unaware of the purpose of the study and could not see the Moon from their beds in the researchers' sleep lab.

They each spent two separate nights at the lab under close observation.

Findings revealed that around the full Moon, brain activity related to deep sleep dropped by nearly a third. Melatonin levels also dipped.

The volunteers also took five minutes longer to fall asleep and slept for 20 minutes less when there was a full Moon.

Prof Cajochen said: "The lunar cycle seems to influence human sleep, even when one does not 'see' the Moon and is not aware of the actual moon phase."

Some people may be exquisitely sensitive to the Moon, say the researchers.

Their study did not originally set out to investigate a lunar effect. The researchers had the idea of doing the lunar analysis years later, while chatting over a few drinks.

They went back to their old data and factored in whether or not there had been a full Moon on the nights the volunteers had slept in their lab.

UK sleep expert Dr Neil Stanley said, nonetheless, the small study appeared to have significant findings.

"There is a such a strong cultural story around the full Moon that it would not be surprising if it has an effect.

"It's one of these folk things that you would suspect has a germ of truth.

"It's up to science now to find out what's the cause of why we might sleep differently when there's a full Moon."

Science/TechnologyPicture Of Earth Taken From Saturn by launique(op):
Nasa has released photos of the Earth and Moon taken by a spacecraft orbiting Saturn -
nearly a billion miles away.
Our planet and its only satellite appear only as dots in the picture, which was taken by the Cassini spacecraft on 19 July.
Scientists wanted to pay homage to the "Pale Blue Dot" image captured by the Voyager 1 probe in 1990.
This was the first time people knew in advance that their long distance picture was being taken. As part of the event launched by Nasa, people were asked to wave in what Carolyn Porco, who leads Cassini's camera team, described as an "interplanetary cosmic photo session".
"It thrills me no end that people all over the world took a break from their normal activities to go outside and celebrate the interplanetary
salute between robot and maker that these images represent," said Dr Porco, from the Space Science
Institute in Boulder, Colorado.
The wide-angle image is part of a larger mosaic - or multi-image portrait - that imaging scientists are putting together of the entire
Saturn system. Pictures of Earth from the outer
Solar System are rare because, from that distance, Earth is very close to the bright Sun. Just as a person can damage their retina by looking directly at the Sun,
a camera's sensitive detectors can be damaged by the bright rays.
These images were taken when the sun had moved behind the planet Saturn from the spacecraft's point of
view, blocking out most of the light.

In the first picture, the Earth is seen along with its only satellite the moon. In the second picture our planet appears as a tiny blue dot below Saturn's magnificient rings

kingoflag: But he didnt compare Achebe with Soyinka in that piece, so wheres the inferiority complex coming from?

Besides something stood out in what he wrote: "....If it was money or comfortable living, he will NEVER live in Nigeria! ". So, Mr.Tribal-Monkey, tell us again where Achebe fled to, lived and died after the capitulation of Biafra (even after Ojukwu---who had fled the battle front before anybody else--- returned home after receiving a pardon for his crimes) ?

se.xkilza.phull:
This man has virtually sacrificed himself for Nigeria and Nigerians! If it was money or comfortable living, he will NEVER live in Nigeria! An excerpt from his citation reads:

"...Professor Wole Soyinka is one of the brightest lights from Nigeria and Africa, on his own merit alone! This is a man who was at one point or the other Professor at Harvard, Cornell, Honorary Doctorate degrees from Yale, Harvard, Morehouse, Emory, Leeds, Manchester, Sheffield, Edinburg, Toronto, Alberta, Paul Valery, Montpellier, Sorbonne, Bayreuth, Cape Town, Havana, Turin, Bologna and Hungary..." In case you don't know, these are not the schools where "thieves and polithievians" are awarded phoney "Honoris Causa" in Nigeria for painting a classroom or donating N 1 M for whatever project! No one in your generation would be considered worthy of admission even into any of these Universities for you are so dull, you have absolutely no brains that can be educated!

A lot of Nigerians who are doing so well in foreign countries, with foreign citizenships are not as accomplished as this man! I have degrees but not a long list like Professor Soyinka! He left peace and comfort of living in US, Canada, Europe, etc, refused to hide away in his state in Ogun State just eating and enjoying his life, he goes to where only the angels dare! In the bulls eyes, at great personal discomfort, risk, in rain or shine, insulted or praised, he doesn't back down! These were the traits the founding fathers of many great countries had 100's of years ago and they transferred it to their children and today, they are so ahead in almost every aspect than the slavish people in Africa, the monarchists and theocracies of the world! Well, Professor, thank you! Like you have outlived and surmounted all the accursed and useless leaders who killed and took Nigerians for a ride like IBB, Abacha, so shall you outlive the reign of these retardeens PEJ, GEJ and their shameless supporters! People like you don't need visa to go anywhere, even with your Nigerian passport but you helped us, you helped your country! This is why you have and will permanently remain ahead of your peers and have your name written in gold and highly regarded by those who stand for truth, honour and right!
Chinua Achebe had over 30 honorary degrees from reputable universities and institutions scattered all over the world! Go to his Wikipedia page. So that thing you are quoting is not a big deal

I heard that he is now a regular visitor to Rivers State. Perhaps he wants his own share of the oil largesse before oil prices fall since almost every country now has crude oil or natural gas in commercial quantity. He doesn't want to be left behind, it's now or never before oil business becomes and agbero an area boy's affair. Better late than never, Prof. Better late than never. lol grin

PoliticsRe: Why Is It That Every Topic That Insults Or Berates GEJ & PEJ Hits The Front Page by launique(op): 10:03pm On Jul 16, 2013
sexkillz: [color=#000030]Nairaland is a discussion forum. People from different locations around Nigeria and beyond, visit here to discuss the latest events and current affairs.

GEJ and PEJ apart from being the first family, have of late, been in the news; and when there is news, discussion follows and Nairaland gets in the fray, to update its numerous members and visitors of what is presently going on. You'll agree with me that as the most visited website in Nigeria, it'll be quite sad if it's not regularly updated.

It is the job of mods to keep the rest of the community updated. What you see on the frontpage is not fabricated, or is it?. . . Pls avail yourself of the other threads on frontpage from the other sections or if you do come across an interesting thread that you deem frontpage worthy, pls call the attention of the mods to that particular thread for subsequent reviewing and placing on the frontpage, for the good, enlightenment, and benefit of the numerous members and visitors.

Thank you.

homesteady: My dear sexkillz no matter how you try to say it, you can't deny that the frontpage has been favouring those who are against PEJ!!
First it was soyinka - ok!! He is a very respected voice in Nigeria!! This justifies his topic been on frontpage. Also, he claims he is not in ACN!
Then again that my crazy brother from edo state statement also made frontpage!! Someone that never made any useful contribution during his time as a Rep! He is AC.N!
Then today again!! One joe igbokwe very useless and insultive statement also made frontpage!! Who is he??
I believe many people who visit this site, after seeing the news on frontpage just conclude that everybody accepts what these men have said because apart from that PEJ's message, no topic on her defense has made frontpage again!! Meanwhile there are many threads hidden in the politics section, which give facts and also prove that PEJ is not a devil as they are painting here!! For eg! I opened a thread on why soyinka didn't condemn amaechi after the house of rep saga!! It just ended in the politics section!! I only opened another thread
www.nairaland.com/1361271/prof-soyinka-got-it-wrongabout
But it didn't make frontpage!!
Many other people have opened threads in defence of PEJ!! But none went to frontpage!!
You guys should not only feed people with anti-pej topics!! Also feed them with pro-pej topics, and let them decide who is wrong and right!! Tankz!
The simple truth is that the mods are seriously anti-jonathan. They are bent on doing things that will make fun of him
