This is just sad.they won't give admission to the Imolites who deserves it cause they afraid that they will take over all the universities in Nigeria and all the jobs in Nigeria,this is fraud......they know God has bless his people that is why they seek knowledge. 3 Likes |

The Earth’s magnetic field surrounds our planet like an invisible force field – protecting life from harmful solar radiation by deflecting charged particles away. Far from being constant, this field is continuously changing. Indeed, our planet’s history includes at least several hundred global magnetic reversals, where north and south magnetic poles swap places. So when’s the next one happening and how will it affect life on Earth? During a reversal the magnetic field won’t be zero, but will assume a weaker and more complex form. It may fall to 10% of the present-day strength and have magnetic poles at the equator or even the simultaneous existence of multiple “north” and “south” magnetic poles. Geomagnetic reversals occur a few times every million years on average. However, the interval between reversals is very irregular and can range up to tens of millions of years. There can also be temporary and incomplete reversals, known as events and excursions, in which the magnetic poles move away from the geographic poles – perhaps even crossing the equator – before returning back to their original locations. The last full reversal, the Brunhes-Matuyama, occurred around 780,000 years ago. A temporary reversal, the Laschamp event, occurred around 41,000 years ago. It lasted less than 1,000 years with the actual change of polarity lasting around 250 years. Power cut or mass extinction? The alteration in the magnetic field during a reversal will weaken its shielding effect, allowing heightened levels of radiation on and above the Earth’s surface. Were this to happen today, the increase in charged particles reaching the Earth would result in increased risks for satellites, aviation, and ground-based electrical infrastructure. Geomagnetic storms, driven by the interaction of anomalously large eruptions of solar energy with our magnetic field, give us a foretaste of what we can expect with a weakened magnetic shield. In 2003, the so-called Halloween storm caused local electricity-grid blackouts in Sweden, required the rerouting of flights to avoid communication blackout and radiation risk, and disrupted satellites and communication systems. But this storm was minor in comparison with other storms of the recent past, such as the 1859 Carrington event, which caused aurorae as far south as the Caribbean. The impact of a major storm on today’s electronic infrastructure is not fully known. Of course any time spent without electricity, heating, air conditioning, GPS or internet would have a major impact; widespread blackouts could result in economic disruption measuring in tens of billions of dollars a day. In terms of life on Earth and the direct impact of a reversal on our species we cannot definitively predict what will happen as modern humans did not exist at the time of the last full reversal. Several studies have tried to link past reversals with mass extinctions – suggesting some reversals and episodes of extended volcanism could be driven by a common cause. However, there is no evidence of any impending cataclysmic volcanism and so we would only likely have to contend with the electromagnetic impact if the field does reverse relatively soon. We do know that many animal species have some form of magnetoreception that enables them to sense the Earth’s magnetic field. They may use this to assist in long-distance navigation during migration. But it is unclear what impact a reversal might have on such species. What is clear is that early humans did manage to live through the Laschamp event and life itself has survived the hundreds of full reversals evidenced in the geologic record. Can we predict geomagnetic reversals? The simple fact that we are “overdue” for a full reversal and the fact that the Earth’s field is currently decreasing at a rate of 5% per century, has led to suggestions that the field may reverse within the next 2,000 years. But pinning down an exact date – at least for now – will be difficult. The Earth’s magnetic field is generated within the liquid core of our planet, by the slow churning of molten iron. Like the atmosphere and oceans, the way in which it moves is governed by the laws of physics. We should therefore be able to predict the “weather of the core” by tracking this movement, just like we can predict real weather by looking at the atmosphere and ocean. A reversal can then be likened to a particular type of storm in the core, where the dynamics – and magnetic field – go haywire (at least for a short while), before settling down again. The difficulties of predicting the weather beyond a few days are widely known, despite us living within and directly observing the atmosphere. Yet predicting the Earth’s core is a far more difficult prospect, principally because it is buried beneath 3,000km of rock such that our observations are scant and indirect. However, we are not completely blind: we know the major composition of the material inside the core and that it is liquid. A global network of ground-based observatories and orbiting satellites also measure how the magnetic field is changing, which gives us insight into how the liquid core is moving. The recent discovery of a jet-stream within the core highlights our evolving ingenuity and increasing ability to measure and infer the dynamics of the core. Coupled with numerical simulations and laboratory experiments to study the fluid dynamics of the planet’s interior, our understanding is developing at a rapid rate. The prospect of being able to forecast the Earth’s core is perhaps not too far out of reach. 1 Like

Many psychologists have given up trying to interpret dreams, but we talked to one who hasn't. Psychologist Ian Wallace has interpreted over 150,000 dreams during more than 30 years of practice. He helped us compile a list of nine of the most common dreams, their meanings, and what action you should take in waking life. 9. Finding an unused room What it means: The rooms in a house represent different aspects of your character. So finding an unused room suggests that you’re discovering a talent that you weren't aware of before. What you should do: The more time that you spend exploring your dormant talents, the more likely that you will find other doors opening for you in waking life, says Wallace. 8. Out-of-control vehicle What it means: The car represents your ability to make consistent progress toward a specific objective. In waking life, you may feel that you don’t have enough control over your road to success. What you should do: Instead of trying to over control the situation, Wallace says to relax your grip and allow your fundamental instincts and drives to steer the best path for you. 7. Falling What it means:Feeling yourself falling in a dream indicates that you are hanging on too tightly to a particular situation in waking life. You need to relax and let go of it. What you should do: Rather than being so concerned about losing control, sometimes you just have to trust in yourself and others by allowing everything to fall naturally into place. 6. Flying What it means: Being able to fly suggests that you have released yourself from circumstances that have been weighing you down in waking life. What you should do: Although you may regard this feeling of liberation as just luck or coincidence, it is usually because you have managed to make a weighty decision or risen above the limitations of a heavy responsibility, says Wallace.5. Unprepared for an exam What it means: Exams are how we judge our ability to perform, so this indicates that you are critically examining your own performance in waking life. What you should do: Rather than immersing yourself in endless self- examination, the real test of your character is being able to accept your talents by celebrating your knowledge and achievements, instead of constantly judging them. 4. Naked in public What it means: We choose our clothes to present a particular image to the people around us. Being naked in public suggests that there is a situation in waking life that is making you feel vulnerable and exposed. What you should do: Although it might be potentially embarrassing, sometimes you just have to open up to others so they can see your real talents. 3. Unable to find a toilet What it means:Toilets are what we use to cleanly respond to some of our most fundamental needs, so there is an issue in waking life where you are finding it a challenge to clearly express your own needs. What you should do: Spend more time looking after your own needs, rather than the needs of others. 2. Teeth falling out What it means: Your teeth symbolize how confident and powerful you feel, so some situation is causing your confidence to crumble in waking life. What you should do: Rather than seeing this situation as something that will leave you powerless, just try calmly thinking over the facts and relish it as a challenge. 1. Being chased What it means:There is an issue in your waking life that you want to confront, but you don't know how to. What you should do: This issue is often a great opportunity for you to pursue a particular personal ambition. Although they may seem scary, your pursuers are actually bringing your attention to your unrealized talents in your own pursuit of fulfillment. 1 Like |

So on my way to church(St Mary's catholic church Ajegunle) this morining a bike man lost his life this at Godo bus stop along Mba road,Ajegunle Apapa Lagos by Julius Berger trailer and nothing happened to the passenger who he was carrying to church He was trying to overtake the trailer from the right, but the trailer guy left his line and was coming to the right and i don't know what made him(the bike) to lose balance cause it happened so fast right in front of me, i don't know if it was the tin milk or if the trailer dragged his shirt cause he was trying to dodge the trailer and still want to overtake and when he got to that electric poll, he(the bike) slowed down when he knows that he can't overtake, and that's how he lost his life... Nobody came close except me, i dip my hand in his pocket and brought out his I.D and phone called his people with my phone cause he has no credit and no one picked except his mother who was with the elder brother's phone cause they are in the church, but i didn't tell her what happened to her son cause to don't know her health condition. I told her he had an accident they should send a man to come pick him up, and she send his elder brother, and that's how we get to know that Chukuemaka was there last born with a pregnant wife. Thank God i didn't follow what the crowd said when they told me to call his wife cause it's not right to call a woman in such matters... As for the driver, the bikers chased him to the end of there office. I don't want to post the video here cause it's not something to watch. Please, all you bikers and passengers, be careful, cause as you all can see, there's nothing in his head, his throat and his lever came out too... Bikers!!! Be careful.
