This will really be a welcome idea.but all I want d jamb management to look into is d issue of cyber cafes not being allow to register candidates.i agree with their reasons but they should give the cafes time to upgrade to a fully equipt cbt center so as to meet the requirement by the board.Also it will ease the stress on the candidates locating a cbt center that is far away from them.I think it will be wise to effect it from 2016.

Romance / A Woman Or A Wife by taiwoowiat: 10:52am On Dec 21, 2013
A WOMAN OR A WIFE[b] It is not every woman that is qualified to be a wife, being a wife is much more complex than to be an ordinary woman. A wife is woman but not every woman is a wife material. A Wife's position can be likened to a pleasant fragrant, salt and sweet taste which must not lose her value. A wife is an important personnel and backbone of every home. You are there to give life, love, care and wonderful touches to the life of your husband and children. Family life is more enjoyable with a woman of integrity- a wife. It is not every married woman that performs the role of a wife. Any woman that fails in her duties at home is no more a wife. A wife is a female adult that knows she has husband to care for. The word “wife” is a title given to an extraordinary woman, who values her position and stand up to her responsibilities at when due. Although the position is more than a title but character influence over her home. As a single lady, don’...t prepare yourself to be one of the women in marriage, but a wife to be. What do you do to transcend from an ordinary woman to a responsible wife: 1. Respect your husband 2. Realize yourself as a prayer warrior of the family 3. To be an outstanding wife, you have to endure many things so that you can enjoy many things 4. Don’t substitute the love of your husband with your children 5. Be a caring mother 6. Be familiar with the do’s and don’ts of your husband 7. Create time for your home no matter how tight your schedule may be 8. Be diligent, moderate and polite 9. Always pay homage to your in-laws 10. Let courtesy guide you always 11. Be very neat 12. Be reserved and have limited friends 13. Don’t be a trouble maker in the street 14. Always be ready to make peace with your husband 15. When you are hurt, don’t deny him what you suppose to give to him

Crime / British Great Train Robber, Ronnie Biggs, Dies At 84 by taiwoowiat: 9:45pm On Dec 18, 2013
British criminal Ronnie Biggs, who took part in the 1963 Great Train Robbery, has died aged 84, his spokeswoman has confirmed.

Biggs was part of the gang which escaped with £2.6m from the Glasgow to London mail train on August 8, 1963.

He was given a 30-year sentence but escaped from Wandsworth prison in 1965.

In 2001, he returned to the UK seeking medical help but was sent to prison. He was released on compassionate grounds in 2009 after contracting pneumonia.

Biggs, who died early on Wednesday, was being cared for at the Carlton Court Care Home in East Barnet, north London.

He could not speak and had difficulty walking after a series of strokes.

He was last seen in public at the funeral of his fellow Great Train Robber, Bruce Reynolds, in March.

Christopher Pickard, ghost writer of Biggs’s autobiography, said he should be remembered as “one of the great characters of the last 50 years”.

He told BBC Radio 4′s Today programme his friend was “kind and generous” with a great sense of humour, which he retained to the end.

Biggs was the first product of the “media age” who “inherited fame while running around the world”, he said.

Biggs, Reynolds, Ronald ‘Buster’ Edwards and the other gang members wore helmets and ski masks to carry out their crime, which took place near Cheddington, Buckinghamshire.

They made off with 120 bags of money totalling £2.6m – the equivalent of £40m in today’s money.

Speaking to Nicky Campbell on Radio 1 in 2000 – before his return to the UK – Biggs said his share of the money had been £147,000.

“I squandered it totally – within three years it was all gone,” he said.

Since then he had been “living on my name only,” he added.

He said it was “totally regrettable” that train driver Jack Mills has been struck over the head during the robbery.

“I regret it fully myself – I only wish it would not have happened but there’s no way that I can put the clock back.”

Mills, who never worked again, died in 1970.

But Biggs said he did not regret the robbery and, referring to comments made by the judge in the trial, he said: “I’m totally involved in vast greed, I’m afraid.”

Peter Rayner, a former chief operating officer for British Rail who worked with Mills, said: “My view is that whilst I was, and am, critical of the Great Train Robbers and the heroes’ welcome they got, especially in light of the death of Jack Mills, my sympathies go out to his family.”

Biggs, who lived in Spain, Australia and Brazil while he was on the run, had been in prison for 15 months when he used a rope ladder to climb over the prison walls.

He had initially fled to Paris, with his wife Charmian and two sons, Farley and Chris.

In 2011, his son, Michael, told the BBC News website his father had a final wish that his ashes be spread between Brazil and London.

The BBC said two film dramas about the robbery – A Robber’s Tale and A Copper’s Tale – scheduled to be broadcast on BBC One on Wednesday and Thursday, would still go ahead.

Writer Chris Chibnall said the programmes did not focus on Biggs. The first is from the point of view of Reynolds, while the second tells the story of the police investigation.

“With anything like this your thoughts have to be with the family on a day like today,” Chibnall said.

“He has children and obviously it’s going to be a very difficult day for them.”
