Travel / How To Survive A Plane Crash by Oilandgas1(m): 3:39am On Aug 30, 2014
Commercial airlines around the world now carry nearly 2.5 billion passengers a year, and despite the inherent dangers of rocketing through the sky miles above the Earth in a very heavy piece of metal, these travelers are amazingly safe. That said, a lot can go wrong at 33,000 feet above the ground, and if you’re unlucky enough to be aboard when something does, the decisions you make could mean the difference between life and death. Keep in mind that about 95% of airplane crashes have survivors, so even if the worst does happen, your odds aren't as bad as you might think. STEP 1 Wear long pants, a long-sleeve t- shirt, and sturdy, comfortable, lace-up shoes. Although you may want to be comfortable or professional-looking on a flight, sandals or high heels make it hard to move quickly within the wreckage. High heels are not allowed on the evacuation slides and you can cut your feet and toes on glass or get flammable liquids on or in your sandals if you wear them. •Loose or elaborate clothing also poses a risk, as it can get snagged on obstacles in the close confines of a plane. If you know you’re going to be flying over cold areas, dress appropriately, and consider keeping a jacket on your lap. You’ll need to be able to stay warm if you survive the crash. Even if that is not a consideration, the more of your body is covered during impact, the less likely you are to receive serious injuries or burns. Cotton or wool clothing is also preferable as it is less flammable. Wool is preferable to cotton when flying over water, as wool does not lose its insulating properties to the degree cotton does when wet. STEP 2 Book the right seats. Because the initial impact is most often survivable, the key to living to tell about a crash is frequently how quickly you can get out. To this end, it’s best to get seats as close as possible to an exit, and aisle seats are generally preferable. In addition, try to sit in the back of the plane. Passengers in the tail of the aircraft have 40% higher survival rates than those in the first few rows. STEP 3 Read the safety information card and pay attention to the pre-flight safety speech. Yes, you’ve heard it all before, and you’ll probably never need it, but if you keep your headphones on during the pre-flight instructions or ignore the safety card, you’ll be missing out on information that could be vital in the event of a crash. Don’t assume you know it all already, either. Every type of airplane has different safety instructions. If you're sitting in an exit row, study the door and make sure you know how to open it if you need to. In normal circumstances the flight attendant will open the door, but if they are dead or injured, you'll need to do it. STEP 4 Make a plan. If the plane is going to crash, you almost always have several minutes to prepare before impact. Use this time to once again review where the exits are, and try to count the number of seats between your row and the exit row—that way you’ll know when you’ve reached the exit even if you can’t see it. Assess the situation as well as possible. Try to determine what surface the plane will land on so you can customize your preparations. If you’re going to be landing in water, for example, you’ll want to put your life vest on— don’t inflate it until you’re out of the plane— and if you’re going to be landing in cold weather, you should try to get a blanket or jacket to keep you warm once outside. STEP 5 Keep your seat belt securely fastened at all times. If the plane crashes while you’re sleeping, you’ll be glad you kept your seat belt on. In any case, make sure it is placed around you snugly before impact. Every centimeter of slack in your seat belt triples the G-Force you'll experience in the crash, so keep it snug! Also, push that snug seat belt down as low over your pelvis as possible. You should be able to feel the upper ridge of the pelvis above the upper edge of the belt. Why? The pelvis is a very strong structure that handles force well. However, if your belt slides up into your stomach, you have a greater chance of sustaining dangerous internal injuries. (Note: this also applies to car seat belts.) STEP 6 Brace yourself for impact. If you know you’re going to crash, brace yourself. Return your seat back to its full upright position and assume one of two "brace positions." •If the seat or bulkhead in front of you is close enough to easily reach, place one hand palm- down on the back of that seat, cross the other hand palm-down over the first hand, and rest your forehead against your hands (don’t lace your fingers). It is also sometimes recommended to put your head directly against the seat in front of you and lace your fingers behind your head, tucking your upper arms against the sides of your head. •If you don’t have a seat close in front of you, bend forward and put your chest on your thighs and your head between your knees. Cross your wrists in front of your lower calves, and grab your ankles. In either position, your feet should be flat on the floor and further back than your knees to reduce injuries to your feet and legs, which you will need in order to successfully exit the craft after impact. Place your legs as far under the seat as possible to avoid breaking your shin bones. STEP 7 Remain calm. It can be easy to get swept up in the pandemonium immediately preceding and following a crash. Keep a cool head, though, and you’re more likely to get out alive. Remember that even in the worst wrecks, you do have a chance of survival. You’ll need to be able to think methodically and rationally to maximize that chance. STEP 8 Put your oxygen mask on before assisting others. You’ve probably heard this on every commercial flight you’ve been on, but it’s worth repeating. If the integrity of the cabin is compromised, you have only about 15 seconds (often less if you’re a smoker or have circulatory or respiratory problems) to start breathing through your oxygen mask before you are rendered unconscious. STEP 9 Protect yourself from smoke. Fire and, more commonly, smoke is responsible for a large percentage of crash fatalities. The smoke in an airplane fire can be very thick and highly toxic, so cover your nose and mouth with a cloth to avoid breathing it in. If possible, moisten the cloth to provide extra protection. STEP 10 Get out of the airplane as quickly as possible. It’s critical to get out of the aircraft without delay—if fire or smoke is present, you will generally have less than two minutes to safely exit the plane. •Don’t try to rescue your belongings. It’s common sense, but still some people don’t seem to get it. Leave everything behind. It will only slow you down. STEP 11 Get at least 500 feet upwind from the wreckage. If you’re stranded in a remote area, the best thing to do usually is to stay close to the aircraft to await rescuers. You don’t want to be too close, though. Fire or explosion can happen at any time after a crash, so put some distance between you and the plane. If the crash is in open-water, swim as far away from the plane wreckage as possible. WARNING! •When landing in water, do not inflate your life vest until you are outside of the aircraft. If you do, you run the risk of becoming trapped when the aircraft fills with water. •Never hold your infant or toddler on your lap. While it may be cheaper than buying a seat, your child is almost guaranteed not to survive if you are holding him or her. Get a seat for your child and use an approved child restraint system. •Avoid wearing synthetic fabrics while traveling by plane. If a fire breaks out in the cabin, these materials will melt to your skin. •Don’t push other passengers. An orderly exit increases everybody’s chance of survival, and if you panic and start shoving, you may be faced with retaliation. •Avoid excessive alcohol consumption before or during a flight. Alcohol impairs your ability to quickly and methodically react to the crash and evacuate the plane. •Don’t get down on the floor of the plane. If there is smoke in the cabin, try to stay low, but do not crawl. You will likely be trampled or injured by other passengers attempting to escape in the low-visibility conditions.

Politics / Niger-east By- Election Holds Today by Oilandgas1(m): 3:16am On Aug 30, 2014
The All Progressives Congress (APC) Candidate in the Niger-east bye election, Barr David Umaru, is expected to slug it out today with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Dr Shem Nuhu Zagbayi, even as public opinion favours Umaru to win the election. The two candidates on Thursday closed their open campaign in line with the Electoral Act which bans campaigns 24 hours to election with some APC leaders led by the national chairman, John Oyegun and the governor of Kano State, Musa Kwankwaso as well as Sen Abubakar Sariki storming the state to give their support to Umaru. LEADERSHIP weekend findings revealed that Barr Umaru is favoured by the public to come out victorious save for the usual last move of the ruling party even as the APC alleged that there were plans to rig the election. The publicity secretary of APC, Jonathan Vatsa, has inundated people on facebook with posts on alleged plans by INEC to issue fake pass to the agents of APC to make them vulnerable to security harassments thereby making it difficult to reach their various polling units to serve as agents.

Romance / Top 9 Signs Your Spouse Is Cheating by Oilandgas1(m): 10:20pm On Aug 29, 2014
You have a sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach, something is not right but you can't quite figure out what that feeling is about. Your spouse has become distant, he/ she is working late on a regular basis or, maybe your spouse has moved out of the house with no explanation. You suspect your spouse is cheating but every time you bring it up with your spouse, he/she denies the possibility. All the signs are there but you don't have any proof. So, pay attention to the signs and your instinct but, be careful not to confuse signs with proof.
1. "I Love You But I'm Not In Love With You." If you hear these words, a big warning bell should go off. This is one of the most consistent things a cheating spouse will say. Your spouse may have a deep, loving bond with you but, intense feelings of passion can override the bond with you and cause your spouse to lose sight of his/her true feelings. The cheating spouse will develop what I call hormone - induced amnesia. The surging hormones and passion they feel in their new relationship can cause some very skewed thinking.
2. "We are just friends." This is also another very predictable statement that will come from a cheating spouse. If your spouse is spending more and more time with this new "friend"; then there is probably more to it than mere friendship. Your spouse may feel they have a lot in common with this person, that this person understands them and things they are going through. Whatever the reasons for the friendship, it's a big warning sign and one you should take seriously.
3. A sudden need for privacy. If things the two of you used to share openly suddenly become private pay attention cause something is probably up. He/she may start password protecting computer activity. Cell phone and credit card bills may be hidden. If you ask why or attempt to find out information that used to be common knowledge between the two of you, you will be accused of snooping or trying to control your spouse. Big warning sign!
4. "I need some space to figure out my feelings." Men and women who are involved with someone else will request more space, time alone or away from the family. They may say it is due to confusion over their feelings or stress at work. This can be a sign that there is someone else and the spouse is trying to figure out ways to have more freedom.
5. Regular work habits change. Working late, going to work at odd hours or, putting in more time than is normal on work related issues can be indications that a spouse is cheating.
6. Spending a large amount of time on the computer. In today’s world, with modern technology, a person looking for an affair doesn’t even have to leave their home. The ease of internet chat rooms, online dating sites and secret email accounts has caused an alarming increase in emotional affairs. If your spouse is online more than usual, hanging out in chat rooms and visiting pornographic websites then you have reason to be alarmed.
7. Secretive phone calls and more time spent on the phone. Emotional affairs occur primarily via the phone, especially cell phones. If you find your spouse hanging up suddenly when you enter the room or erasing the history on the cell phone and becoming defensive when asked about it, then you might want to check your phone records.
8. Behavior that just doesn't add up. Not being where he/she was expected to be. Missing time they can't explain. Money that isn't accounted for. Receipts for things you don't have. Missing clothing. Clothing that does not belong to your family. Being caught in little lies about the details of the day. If something is off with their behavior, you should suspect cheating.
9. Your Own fears and suspicions If you find yourself looking for excuses for your spouse's behavior or trying to convince yourself that they would never cheat then that is a warning sign. Your intuition is frequently one of the best indicators that something is wrong. If you suspect your spouse might be cheating on you, do some investigating and then talk to him/her about what you've found. Do it in a way that is calm and courteous. Ask for honesty. Be prepared for lies. It is a sad fact that people having affairs become excellent liars. People who never told a lie before in their lives. Trust your gut instinct but get hard, cold proof also.

Nairaland / General / How Do Humans Determine If Someone Is Pretty Or Ugly? by Oilandgas1(m): 10:42pm On Sep 16, 2013
Setting aside other's & scientific views, I
determine beauty by looking into eyes and
smiles.

Even the most perceived ugly individuals,
when you try to stop and look her glow of
happiness inside her, she is pretty. I seldom
find any person as ugly because aside from
physical attributes, I look deeper - the
emotions and esp. happiness. Real happiness
makes everyone happy and pretty but
sadness and hatred makes everyone ugly.

Career / Are The Words "Student Doctor" In Identifying A Medical Student Deceptive? by Oilandgas1(m): 12:48pm On Sep 10, 2013
Are the words "student doctor" or "student
physician" in identifying a medical student
deceptive and should not be used? I do not
think "student doctor" or "student physician"
are deceptive terms. In fact, they may be less
misleading about the actual role of medical
students than the term "medical student". I
think the ordering of the word "student"
makes a difference on patient impression of
the person speaking. Upon introducing
oneself to a patient as a "student doctor", the
first word for self descripton is "student". This
is very clear for the patient, that the person
speaking is first and foremost a student.
What are they a student of? Of becoming a
doctor/physician. This would also apply to
nursing students calling themselves "student
nurses". Considering stress levels related to
health problems and associated changes in
attention span and patient recollection of
titles, I think that if one describes themselves
as "student doctor/physician/nurse", then the
primary role of student is more clear.
However, if one describes themselves as
"medical/nursing student", then it is likely
the patient may be more confused and
remember only the first word. When
speaking the student may mumble or speak
the last "student" word softly. I think there is
more room for patient deception when
ending a title with "student" rather than
beginning with it. The patient may remember
"medical" and think "medical doctor", or the
patient may remember "nursing" and think
the person is a licensed nurse.

The Science of Love
*There are three phases to falling in
love and different hormones are
involved at each stage.
*Events occurring in the brain when
we are in love have similarities with
mental illness.
*When we are attracted to somebody,
it could be because subconsciously
we like their genes.
*Smell could be as important as looks
when it comes to the fanciability
factor. We like the look and smell of
people who are most like our parents.
*Science can help determine whether
a relationship will last.
