The Solution to the Fuel Scarcity! Ibe Kachiukwu
ordered the Department of Petroleum Resources, DPR, to sell off for
free, the petroleum products of any fuel station that is caught
hoarding petrol during this period of fuel scarcity. He gave the order
after a working visit to some retail outlets in Abuja.
"I have instructed DPR that if they discover any fuel station involved
in hoarding, they should sell the products for free to customers
around there. It is not just sealing the station that is the answer.
It is penalizing them when they do these things and I hope the message
goes out loud and clear," he said

Jamb Introduces New Admission Policy
Policy, " sponsored by Senator Joshua Lidani, APC, Gombe South,
which was debated during plenary.
They also urged JAMB to consult widely with Parents Teachers
Association, PTA, ASUU and all other stakeholders in the education
sector with a view to coming out with a friendlier holistic,
comprehensive and sustainable admissions policy.
It also directed its Committee on Education to enquire into
circumstances surrounding the JAMB policy, including all allegations
of favouritism and generally review the power of JAMB vis-a-vis
administration and submit findings within one week.
Lidani said JAMB, at its 2015 Combined Policy Meeting, held on July
14, 2015, in Abuja, announced the adoption of a policy whereby
candidates of universities with surplus applicants for the Unified
Tertiary Matriculation Examinations, UTME, were reassigned to other
universities with lower number of candidates than their capacities.
Which he said was inappropriate because some candidates get sent to
private universities that they cant afford.

21 Success Tips for Young and Aspiring Entrepreneurs! Be More Productive!
achieved their goals. Having a mentor is an amazing blessing to an
entrepreneur, but not everyone can find one in person.
If you haven't yet found your personal business guru, here are 21 tips
for young or aspiring entrepreneur to help get you started.
1. Challenge yourself.
Richard Branson says his biggest motivation is to keep challenging
himself. He treats life like one long university education, where he
can learn more every day. You can too!
2. Do work you care about.
There's no doubt that running a business take a lot of time. Steve
Jobs noted that the only way to be satisfied in your life is to do
work that you truly believe in.
3. Take the risk.
We never know the outcome of our efforts unless we actually do it.
Jeff Bezos said it helped to know that he wouldn't regret failure, but
he would regret not trying.

4. Believe in yourself.
As Henry Ford famously said, "Whether you think you can, or think you
can't, you're right." Believe that you can succeed, and you'll find
ways through different obstacles. If you don't, you'll just find
excuses.
5. Have a vision.
The founder and CEO of Tumblr, David Karp, notes that an entrepreneur
is someone who has a vision for something and a desire to create it.
Keep your vision clear at all times.
6. Find good people.
Who you're with is who you become. Reid Hoffman, co-founder of
LinkedIn, noted that the fastest way to change yourself is to hang out
with people who are already the way you want to be.
7. Face your fears.
Overcoming fear isn't easy, but it must be done. Arianna Huffington
once said that she found fearlessness was like a muscle -- the more
she exercised it, the stronger it became.
8. Take action.
The world is full of great ideas, but success only comes through
action. Walt Disney once said that the easiest way to get started is
to quit talking and start doing. That's true for your success as well.
9. Do the time.
No one succeeds immediately, and everyone was once a beginner. As
Steve Jobs wisely noted, "if you look closely, most overnight
successes took a long time." Don't be afraid to invest time in your
company.
10. Manage energy, not time.
Your energy limits what you can do with your time, so manage it wisely.
11. Build a great team.
No one succeeds in business alone, and those who try will lose to a
great team every time. Build your own great team to bolster your
success.
12. Hire character.
As you build your team, hire for character and values. You can always
train someone on skills, but you can't make someone's values fit your
company after the fact.
13. Plan for raising capital.
Richard Harroch, a venture capitalist, has this advice for upcoming
entrepreneurs: "It's almost always harder to raise capital than you
thought it would be, and it always takes longer. So plan for that."
14. Know your goals.
Ryan Allis, co-founder of iContact, pointed out that having the end in
mind every day ensures you're working toward it. Set goals and remind
yourself of them each day.
15. Learn from mistakes.
Many entrepreneurs point to mistakes as being their best teacher. When
you learn from your mistakes, you move closer to success -- even
though you initially failed.
16. Know your customer.
Dave Thomas, the founder of Wendy's, cited knowing your customer as
one of his three keys to success. Know those you serve better than
anyone else, and you'll be able to deliver the solutions they need.
17. Learn from complaints.
Bill Gates once said that your most unhappy customers are your
greatest source of learning. Let unhappy customers teach you where the
holes in your service are.
18. Ask for customers' input.
Assuming what customers want or need will never lead to success. You
must ask them directly, and then carefully listen to what they say.
19. Spend wisely.
When you spend money on your business, be careful to spend it wisely.
It's easy to spend too much on foolish things and run out of capital
too soon.
20. Understand your industry.
Tony Hsieh, the founder of Zappos, once said, "Don't play games you
don't understand, even if you see lots of other people making money
from them." Truly understanding your industry is key to having
success.
21. Deliver more than expected.
Google's Larry Page encourages entrepreneurs to deliver more than
customers expect. It's a great way to get noticed in your industry and
build a loyal following of advocates.
Being a successful entrepreneur takes a lot of work, a lot of vision
and a lot of perseverance. These 21 tips, from entrepreneurs who have
already found success, will help you navigate the path much more
easily.
How Alcohol Affects a Teen's Developing Brain! This may be The Reason for the Poor School Performance
when a teenager is developing. This can result in irreversible brain
changes that can impact decision making, personality, memory and
learning.
How does alcohol affect messages in the body?
Ever played Chinese whispers? Well your brain does every day, getting
messages from your nerve cells to your body. It needs to send the
correct messages throughout your body so it functions correctly.
Alcohol acts on the nerve cells of the brain and disrupts the
communication between nerves cells and other cells of the body.
Alcohol does this by altering the actions of two major
neurotransmitters in the brain.
Neurotransmitters are chemical messages, which enable nerve cells to
talk to each other and to other cells in the body. Alcohol suppresses
the activities of certain nerve pathways, eventually making a person
appear sluggish, lethargic and slow-moving.
While research tells us alcohol can damage the developing brain it is
not clear how much alcohol it takes to do this. For these reasons, it
is recommended that for under 18's no alcohol is the safest choice and
that they delay the initiation of drinking for as long as possible.
What parts of the brain are affected?
While there are several parts of the brain affected by alcohol during
the teenage years there are two areas of the brain that are
particularly sensitive to alcohol during this period.
Hippocampus
The hippocampus is responsible for memory and learning.
Studies of adolescents show that heavy and extended alcohol use is
associated with a 10% reduction in the size of the hippocampus. It
also shows that the function of the hippocampus is uniquely sensitive
to alcohol at this time and that alcohol may be poisonous to the nerve
cells of the hippocampus causing them to be damaged or destroyed.3
Prefrontal lobe
The prefrontal lobe is important for planning, judgement, decision
making, impulse control and language.
This area of the brain changes the most during the teenage years.
Research with heavy drinking adolescents' shows that these young
people have smaller prefrontal lobes than young people of the same age
who do not drink.
The body of research about the effects of alcohol on the developing
brain is still growing. Studies have shown physical changes in the
brain and evidence of impaired problem solving and other cognitive
function resulting from young people's alcohol use.
It is well known that of young people who do drink in Australia, the
number who experience alcohol-related problems is high. Studies of
these young people have shown significant and detrimental changes in
brain development compared with their non-alcohol-using peers.
Does alcohol influence the brain in other ways?
Alcohol affects cells in the body, and the most immediate impacts are
seen on the brain. Alcohol is a depressant that affects the brain by
causing the brain to slow down. This can result in:
Slurred speech.
Poor muscle control and judgement.
Confusion.
Slower reactions.
Poor vision.
Lack of coordination.
Sleep disruption.
The earlier a person starts drinking alcohol (drinking at levels that
are likely to cause injury or ill-health) , the greater the risk of
changing the development of the brain. This can lead to problems with
memory and learning, and increases the risk of having alcohol-related
problems later in life.
Alcohol and enjoyment
Changes in the wiring of a young and developing brain due to alcohol
use can result in finding alcohol more rewarding when they are adults.
A strong feeling of reward from alcohol use may be associated with an
increased risk of alcohol-related problems when they are adults.
Samsung offers teens free vacation, as long as they...go on, guess
that make you shudder at the very thought.
Please decide which you think this is.
It's an ad produced by Samsung's French arm. It ran in May. However,
as Adweek reports, it's just won a gold EPICA advertising award, in
which tipsy journalists, rather than ego-addled creatives, are the
judges.
The ad has a simple premise. It puts young people -- all owners of a
Samsung Galaxy A smartphone -- into strange rooms with one-way mirrors
and a TV screen. Then, on behalf of Samsung, an enticing offer is
made. Would the kids like to go on the vacation of their dreams?
It shall be theirs. Oh, with one little condition.
Samsung Galaxy A - The Way You Arefrom Kinou Conseilon Vimeo.
I won't spoil the condition. It's very poignant, almost beautiful in
its conception. And the twist is delicious.
Samsung representatives did not respond to a request for comment on the ad.
The makers told Adweek that there was no subterfuge in the production
of these ads. I worked in ad agencies for a long time and I was forced
to tell clients about pigs flying past 747s once or twice, so I will
always wonder about truth in advertising.
Still, much of the action certainly has a real flavor about it. The
kids' reactions when they realize the full ramifications of their
decision-making makes for excellent film.
However, there's one little aspect I find disturbing. The impression
left is that every one of these kids accepted Samsung's offer.

Women Strip to Protest Aganist Rape in Brazil (See Photos)
The topless participants had slogans written on their bodies and banners as they marched through the streets and blocked traffic in Rio de Janeiro’s, Brazil.
The event, which featured powerful messages and colourful displays, was held along Rio de Janeiro’s Copacabana beachfront in Brazil.
Protesters said one their key aims was to address claims by some that women provoke attacks by the way they dress or act.
They also wanted to fight against proposed new abortion restrictions which, if passed, would mean a woman who was raped could only have a termination if she could prove the crime.
Demonstrators scrawled words onto their breasts, stomachs, backs and arms with lipstick and crayons and there was samba dancing.
Stephanie Ruas, 26, said: “We may face violence anywhere. At school, as a young girl, at work – that’s the culture.
“Brazil is one of the worst places for a woman to travel alone. When I travel I bring a special door jam so that my hotel room cannot be opened.”
The protesters said a woman is killed every two hours in Brazil which they claim makes it the fifth most dangerous country for females.
Indara Costa, 18, said: “Men in Brazil think we are objects. We want to be able to do what we want with our bodies without being harassed.”
Saturday’s event was the fifth Slutwalk march held in Rio. Photos
Todays' Word for Us - Rhapsody of Realities
And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and
to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance
patience; and to patience godliness (2 Peter 1:5-6).
As a child of God, it's important that you always exude the excellence
and righteousness of God that's in your spirit. It should be easy for
anyone to look at your life and tell that you're a Christian. In the
context of our opening scripture, "godliness" doesn't refer to the
righteousness which is in your heart, but to what you do that can be
seen outwardly; it means piety.
There must be some piousness expressed in your behaviour, attitude,
language, way of thinking, and way of doing things. There must be some
discipline in your life, and in your communication. Never use vulgar
or unwholesome words; have a clean language. The Christian has what is
called "purity"; there's the purity of a Christian, which should
radiate through you. There's some spirituality about a real Christian.
It's something that distinguishes you, because you're not of this
world.
You're separated unto God, unto the life of righteousness. There
should be some "calmness" in your life; there should be a way you
carry yourself. There should be no roughness about you. There're
places you shouldn't be found in, and things you shouldn't do or say.
Use the Word to check yourself always, to get rid of any wrong stuff
in your life. Keep bringing forth fruits that are consistent with your
life and nature of righteousness: "Bring forth fruit that is
consistent with repentance [let your lives prove your change of
heart]" (Matthew 3:8 AMP).
Prayer
Dear Father, you've imparted your righteousness into my heart, and set
me apart to be an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in
purity, and sanctification, to my world. My life is the expression of
your righteousness, and purity of the Spirit, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
