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!

sometimes Mr. otokx silence to your questions (especially if you are asking to know your chances of admission) can mean that "you're already in", so he rather saves his parables. that is how he treated me, he never replied any of my post, I was so down with worry never knowing that I was already admitted!

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.

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.

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. Thanks.
