6 Countries You Can Study At Top Universities At Affordable Fees.

Within the past years, there has been a throng of Nigerians travelling outside to obtain tertiary education. Either first degrees or post-graduate qualifications, with the latter taking the highest number. So why do most Nigerians desire to study abroad? Some say it is due to the deplorable state of our educational system. To others, a change of environment and pursuit of a global career necessitate it. Yet for another group of people, it is to further their educational pursuit in an environment that has the best of facilities and conduciveness. Popular countries include the UK (A 2015 report showed Nigeria was the 6th highest contributor of foreign students studying in the UK), US (popular for graduates taking standardised tests such as the GRE and GMAT), Canada (similar to the US) and Germany (the free tuition). Others include Australia, Belgium, The Netherlands, Malaysia, Russia and mostly Eastern European countries. However, and unfortunately, majority of Nigerians who go to ob...

emale Teacher In Enugu Covers ATM Screen With Her Bag (Photo) .

A lady had to do the unexpected in a bid to protect her pin while using an ATM in Enugu state. The teacher (judging from the shirt she wore) used her handbag and a polythene bag to shield the public from seeing her details at the ATM. An internet user who was shocked by the woman's action shared the picture online - with different reactions trailing it.

Difference Between Apple iPhone X and Samsung Galaxy Note 8.

The key difference between iPhone X and Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is that the Galaxy Note 8 comes with a bigger display and a higher resolution while the iPhone X come with higher efficiency and performance. Let us take a closer look at both the devices and see how they compare and what they have to offer. Apple iPhone X vs Samsung Galaxy Note 8 When Samsung Galaxy Note 8 was released, it was one of the best phones that you could buy. Now Apple has released its iPhones and somewhat spoilt the party of Samsung. Although the Apple iPhone X does not come with a stylus, it has seen an upgrade in every other way. Let us take a closer look at both the devices and see what they have to offer and how they compare with each other. Dimensions The Samsung Galaxy is one of the biggest phones that you can buy. The iPhone X comes with a screen size of 5.8 inches, but the screen size may not reveal the whole story. The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 significantly bigger than the iPhone X and comes with r...

Difference Between Gravity and Weight.

Gravity and weight are two concepts involved in the gravitational field theory of physics. These two concepts are often misinterpreted and used in the wrong context. It is vital to have a better and correct understanding of gravity and weight, if one is to excel in science. These two are almost similar concepts that are used interchangeably. However, we will see here, that gravity and weight are not the same. In this article, we are going to discuss what gravity and weight are, their basic concepts, applications, similarities and finally their differences. Gravity Gravity is the common name given to the gravitational field. Gravitational field is a concept and a method for calculating and explaining phenomena happening around any object with a mass. A gravitational field is defined around any mass. According to Newton’s universal law of gravitation two masses M and m separated by a finite distance r exerts a force F = G M m / r 2 on each other. The gravitational field intensi...

8 CHEMISTRY CONCEPTS RELATED TO ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY.

Biology is a very special application of the laws of chemistry and physics. Biology follows and never violates the laws of the physical sciences, but this fact can sometimes be obscured in the complexity and other special characteristics of biological chemistry and physics. Following is a review of some of the principles of chemistry and physics that have special application in anatomy and physiology. Some of these principles overlap — for example, probability is one factor that drives the process of diffusion. Although what follows are oversimplified explanations of very profound and complex matters, they might help you better understand anatomy and physiology. ENERGY CAN NEITHER BE CREATED NOR DESTROYED The first law of thermodynamics is that energy can be neither created nor destroyed — it can only change form. Throughout any process, the total energy in the system remains the same. This law is one of the fundamental concepts in physics, chemistry, and biolog...

THE CELL MEMBRANE: DIFFUSION, OSMOSIS, AND ACTIVE TRANSPORT.

Think of it as a gatekeeper, guardian, or border guard. Despite being only 6 to 10 nanometers thick and visible only through an electron microscope, the cell membrane keeps the cell’s cytoplasm in place and lets only select materials enter and depart the cell as needed. This semipermeability, or selective permeability, is a result of a double layer (bilayer) of phospholipid molecules interspersed with protein molecules . The outer surface of each layer is made up of tightly packed hydrophilic (or water-loving) polar heads. Inside, between the two layers, you find hydrophobic (or water-fearing) nonpolar tails consisting of fatty acid chains . Cholesterol molecules between the phospholipid molecules give the otherwise elastic membrane stability and make it less permeable to water-soluble substances. Both cytoplasm and the matrix, the material in which cells lie, are primarily water. The polar he...

The Sphere, Inside Amazon's ₦440billion Mini-Rainforest Office In Seattle(Photo).

After seven years of planning and construction, Amazon finally cut the ribbon on the Spheres, which are designed to not only give employees an opportunity to relax (briefly) on the job but also reinforce the company's image as an innovative, think-outside-the-box corporation. Jeff Bezos unveils the firm's new 'mini-rainforest' campus in Seattle where employees will be surrounded by waterfalls and 40,000 plants. Amazon has finally opened the doors on its new 'rainforest' campus in Seattle that is, with a little help from Alexa. At an unveiling event, CEO Jeff Bezos took to the podium to introduce the firm's new office space, confined within three massive plant-lined glass domes dubbed The Spheres. The inside of the spheres will even feel like a rainforest. The climate will be controlled. The air temperature will be held at a constant 72 degrees while the humidity will be 60 percent. In some locations, the climate will vary, with temperatures that either...

47 Russians lose late court bid to compete at Olympics.

Forty-seven Russians implicated in doping lost a last-minute court bid to take part in the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics on Friday, just hours before the opening ceremony. The applicants, who included Korean-born speed skater Victor An, had asked the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to overturn an International Olympic Committee decision not to invite them to South Korea. “The applications filed by Russian athletes and coaches have been dismissed,” CAS secretary general Matthieu Reeb told a packed news conference. The IOC was swift to welcome the decision, the latest twist in the Russian doping scandal, saying the ruling “supports the fight against doping and brings clarity for all athletes”. The Russian situation has proved highly contentious in the build-up to Pyeongchang, after their team was banned but a certain number of “clean” Russian athletes were allowed to take part as neutrals. Fifteen of those who lost their bids on Friday were among a group of 28 who...

Premier League launches rights auction as tech giants wait.

The Premier League launches its latest auction of domestic live broadcast rights on Friday but football finance experts say global tech giants such as Amazon and Facebook are not yet ready to enter the fray. Bids for 200 games a season, between 2019 and 2022, must be in between 0800 GMT and 1000 GMT and if any are left unsold there will be further rounds of bidding next week, with a result expected on Tuesday. The 200 games, up from 168 games a season under the current three-year deal, are broken up into seven packages, designed to appeal to different buyers. Sky and BT paid more than £5 billion for the rights in 2016-19, matching the 70 per cent uplift recorded for the previous cycle and are expected to take the lion’s share of the games in the new deal. But the chance of another huge hike in domestic broadcast revenue appears unlikely because the two companies did a deal in December to sell their channels on each other’s platforms. In a bid to draw other players ...
