Family / Re: Who Should Be More Wealthy Between Husband And Wife? by swhiss: 1:24pm On Oct 10, 2014 |
in the real sense the man should be. but there's nothing wrong if the wife turns out to be the wealthier one & takes up the responsibility of providing financially for the family provided that she still remains submissive and respects her husbands role as the head and decision maker in the family. |
Education / Re: Name Came Out On School Admission List But Name Is Not Found On Jamb by swhiss: 12:35pm On Oct 10, 2014 |
there's no need for you or your friend to be worried. he's already admitted!, Jamb isn't responsible for offering admission to students, your school of choice is, they are the ones to compile the list and send to jamb. I believe the reason why your friends name has not yet reflect on jambs website is Cuz osustech hvnt send their list to jamb and that I'm certain they will do pretty soon. just keep checking your admission status on jambs website. cheers! |

Science/Technology / Science Shows That Time Really Does Fly As You Age by swhiss: 5:53pm On Sep 05, 2014 |
When you're a kid, time seems to move so slowly, but as an adult it really seems to fly. We all heard it from our parents growing up and thought it sounded preposterous at the time: "What happened to last year? It flew by!" they would yell to each other at New Year's Eve parties. That's because when you're a kid, time seemed to move incredibly slowly. My birthday is only a month from Christmas but I remember when I was 7 that those four weeks felt like eons — now it's all I can do to even bother celebrating my birthday, since it feels like I still have tinsel in my hair. While we can't put our finger on an exact year when "time speeds up" it happens to most of us — and for real reasons. The first, and largest, is due to what psychologists call the Habituation Hypothesis. For very good reason, our brains want to conserve energy (compared to other animals, human brains use a lot of calories to run). So, once we have gotten used to something — a route to work, doing the dishes or getting dressed in the morning, for example — we start to do it on autopilot, and cease noticing many of the small things that make one day different from another. This makes time seem to pass much more quickly, since fewer unique moments are being recorded by your brain. When you are a small child, everything is new, and most days are a learning experience, so your brain is rarely on "auto" and you notice much more, leading to time seeming much slower. The more attention that is paid to each moment, the slower time seems to pass (which makes sense, if you think about it). There are physical reasons time perception changes too: Dopamine levels drop as we age, which affects our sense of time. And heart rate even has an impact. According to a 2013 research paper in the journal Attention, Perception, and Psychophysics, "...variations in prospective timing are caused by two factors: the pulse rate of an internal pacemaker and the amount of attention directed to the passage of time." While you can't change much about the biological aspects of aging, you can force yourself out of your typical routine, and slow down time when you want to, using a few techniques. •Elevate Your Daily Experiences: Whatever it is that brings you into the moment (I favor time in nature and experiencing art), do more of those things. Playing with your kids without any distractions, cooking a meal from scratch or listening to a piece of music (not while reading, not while cleaning, just listening) are other ideas that will ground you in the now, create new memories and slow down time. •Do New Stuff: Remember those routines I wrote about above? Shake them up. Get up early one morning and take yourself to breakfast; go to a movie after work; take a long lunch and go window- shopping downtown; don't turn the TV on before bed and read or write instead. Changing up what you usually do will cause you to notice new things and see the world with a new perspective that's refreshing. •Quit Multitasking: Not focusing on the task at hand is the easiest way to lose time. If you are throwing together dinner while helping your kids with homework, while chatting to your friend, you probably won't remember doing any of those things. Try doing one thing at a time — this might require practice if you are used to doing many things at once — and see how you remember the day later. Want to keep time from rushing by? It's at least partially up to you, and how you live your life. www.mnn.com/earth-matters/space/blogs/science-shows-that-time-really-does-fly-as-you-age |

Travel / Top 10 Countries With Highest molest Crime by swhiss: 7:54pm On Jul 27, 2014 |
Here is the list of top 10 countries with highest rape crime. 10.) ETHIOPIA Ethiopia is estimated to have one of the highest rates of violence against women in the world. A report by the UN found that nearly 60% of Ethiopian women were subjected to sexual violence. Rape is a very serious problem in Ethiopia. The country is infamous for the practice of marriage by abduction, with the prevalence of this practice in Ethiopia being one of the highest in the world. In many parts of Ethiopia, it is common for a man, working in co- ordination with his friends, to kidnap a girl or woman, sometimes using a horse to ease the escape. The abductor will then hide his intended bride and rape her until she becomes pregnant. Girls as young as eleven years old are reported to have been kidnapped for the purpose of marriage. Also the Ethiopian military has been accused of committing systematic rapes against civilians. 9.) SRI LANKA Sri Lanka’s security forces are still raping and torturing suspects. There have been recent allegations that rape and torture by the Sri Lankan security forces have continued four years after the civil war ended. The UN Multi-country Study on Men and Violence found that 14.5% of the sample of Sri Lankan men had perpetrated rape at some point in their lives. 4.9% had raped in the past year. 2.7% had raped another man. 1.6% had took part in a gang rape. 96.5% of the men who had raped experienced no legal consequences. 65.8% didn’t feel worried or guilty afterwards. 64.9% of rapists had raped more than once, and 11.1% had raped four or more girls or women. 8.) CANADA It is an Amercing continent and the total reported cases of rape in this country are 2,516,918. These are only six percent of the total rape cases. It is reported that over one in three women had experienced a sexual assault and that only 6% of sexual assaults were reported to the police. According to Justice Institute of British Columbia, one out of every 17 women is raped, 62% of rape victims were physically injured, 9% were beaten or disfigured. 7.) FRANCE Rape was not a crime in France until 1980. Laws reinforcing women’s rights and safety are relatively recent in France. The law making rape a crime dates back only to 1980. Earlier decrees were based on 19th century moral codes. A law on sexual-harassment was approved in 1992 and one on moral harassment was passed in 2002. The last bill to fight violence against women was passed last year. Government studies show there are 75,000 rapes a year in the country. Only about 10 percent of the victims filed complaints. France is at the 7th position with the total reported crime of 3,771,850. 6.) GERMAÑY An estimate of 240,000 women and girls has died up till now in Germany because of this crime. Germany is on the number six in the highest rape crime with the figures of 6,507,394 in this year which is really a big figure. German Catholics have allowed the morning-after pills for the victims. The country moving forward in technology is actually moving really backward in humanity. 5.) UNITED KINGDOM Many people wish to live or even visit UK as it is one of the most developed countries. But they surely must not be aware that this country is also involved badly in the crime of rape. In January 2013, the Ministry of Justice (MoJ), Office for National Statistics (ONS) and Home Office released its first ever joint Official Statistics bulletin on sexual violence, entitled An Overview of Sexual Offending in England and Wales. According to report: Approximately 85,000 women are raped on average in England and Wales every year. Over 400,000 women are sexually assaulted each year. One in 5 women (aged 16 – 59) has experienced some form of sexual violence since the age of 16. 4.) INDIA India is the place where sexual assault is rapidly increasing. Rape in India is one of India’s most common crimes against women. According to the National Crime Records Bureau 24,923 rape cases were reported across India in 2012, but experts agree that the number of unreported cases of sexual assault brings the total much higher. Out of these, 24,470 were committed by parents/family, relatives, neighbors and other known persons implying that , men known to the victim committed 98 per cent of reported rapes. The latest estimates suggest that a new case of rape is reported every 22 minutes in India. 3.) SWEDEN Sweden has the highest incidence of reported rapes in Europe and one of the highest in the world. One amongst every four women comes out to be the victim of rape in Sweden. By 2010, The Swedish police recorded the highest number of offences – about 63 per 100,000 inhabitants. The country has third-highest rape crime in the world. In 2009 there were 15,700 reported sexual offenses in Sweden, a rise of 8% compared to 2008, of which 5,940 were rape and sexual harassment (including exhibitionism) accounted for 7,590 reports. In April 2009, it was reported that sex crimes had increased by 58% over the previous ten years. According to a 2009 European Union study, Sweden has one of the highest rates of reported rape in Europe. 2.) SOUTH AFRICA The country has one of the highest rates of rape in the world, with some 65,000 rapes and other sexual assaults reported for the year 2012. The incidence of rape has led to the country being referred to as the “rape capital of the world”. One in three of the 4,000 women questioned by the Community of Information, Empowerment and Transparency said they had been raped in the past year. More than 25 per cent of South African men questioned in a survey published by the Medical Research Council (MRC) admitted to rape; of those, nearly half said they had raped more than one person. Three out of four of those who had admitted rape indicated that they had attacked for the first time during their teens. South Africa has amongst the highest incidences of child and baby rape in the world. If the rapist is convicted, his prison time would be around 2 years. 1.) UNITED STATES The super power of the world is at the first position in the race of rapes. Males are majorly the rapist holding a proportion of 99%. Out of all the victims, 91% are females while 9% are males. The U.S Bureau of Justice Statistics states that 91% of rape victims are female and 9% are male, and nearly 99% of rapists are male. According to the National Violence Against Women Survey, 1 in 6 U.S. women and 1 in 33 U.S. men has experienced an attempted or completed rape in their lifetime. More than a quarter of college-age women report having experienced a rape or rape attempt since age 14. Out of all, only 16% of the total cases are reported. Outdoor rape is not common in USA rather most of the rape cases takes place inside homes. http://www.wonderslist.com/10-countries-highest-rape-crime/ |

Health / 6 Worst Drinks For Your Body by swhiss: 6:55am On Jul 06, 2014 |
What you eat matters! It is a serious thing. These 6 drinks are not good for your health. Most people don't know the side effects of these worst drinks, so they are receiving poor nutrition without knowledge. Avoid these 6 drinks for a healthy disease free life. These worst drinks should be avoided. We take drinks for recreation and refreshment. Drinks are supposed to do this job, but that's not what always happen. In today's market, drinks are just a mixture of sugar, caffeine and artificial additives. They may give you energy because of sugar and water mixture but they are not giving you healthy nutrition. Here are the 6 worst drinks. Check their ingredients and then decide whether you should include them into you life or not! Decision is yours. Liquor Flavoured drinks Energy drinks Lemonade Diet soda Juice drinks •Liquor Alcohol is not good at all. If you do take alcohol with moderation may be it's okay for you to drink. If you exceed the moderation limit (Drinking 3 or more drinks in a day) results are more harmful than you thought. Taking 2 drinks a day can't be much harmful but 3 or more drinks will raise the risk of your premature death . In March 2011 American cancer society found that risk of cancer death was high among people who drank vs who don't. If you are taking Liquor heavily risk of cancer, heart disease,raise in cholesterol and sugar metabolism is really high. Avoid Liquor drinking for a long life! •Energy drinks I am referring to energy drinks, you might think of caffeine made products. That's not the reality. Energy drinks are just overloaded with sugar and caffeine. They will give you burst of energy in seconds but you will ultimately crash. Researchers found that 50% of the US adults and young people are drinking energy drinks on daily basis. That's awful. Most teenagers, will mix energy drinks with alcohol and they will drink this heavy mixture. In thrill and adventure they are doing unimaginable harm to their bodies. It is the foremost duty of parents to take a look at their teenagers. In that age, if they will do harm to their bodies they will have to suffer for a long time. •Lemonade Home made lime juice is a great refreshment but same cannot be said about lemonade available in markets. It's just a sugar dissolved drink with artificial additives added into it. 1 cup of lemonade will provide you 100 calories, 6 tea spoon of sugar and 0 nutrients. Just like taking a liquid candy with no benefits at all! •Flavoured drinks Flavoured water is nothing more than drinking sugar dissolved into coloured water. It has fewer vitamins and more calories. Check the label and it's ingredients before you buy a flavoured drink. •diet soda What a soft drink can provide you? 150 to 200 extra calories. Diabetes patient take diet soda.It's okay! Diet soda is a calorie free drink. But it has caffeine in it to provide you taste. Soda never do a good to your teeth. Harmful to your teeth enamel.So why should we take diet soda? Obviously! not a healthy drink at all! •Juice drinks Juice drinks are similar to flavoured drinks. Just few vitamins, artificial additives, colour and water with sugar. For a healthy life, don't look for any drink then a pure fruit juice. Home made juices are the best. Last of all! Include water into your life. I know this sounds awkward, but water is the most healthy drink on this planet. Drink at least 8 to 12 glasses of water daily, for a healthy and glowing life.
