Alert: JAMB 2016 Registration Closing
Date.
The closing date for the registration of the
Unified Tertiary
Matriculation Examination (UTME) as

Though there are rumours that there's
likely going to be an extension,
our JAMB source has notified us that there
is no official statement to
that effect yet.

The large, round fish—about the size of a
manhole cover—uses its warm blood as
an advantage in the ocean's freezing
depths,
Deep-water fish called opah appear to be
the first fully warm-blooded fish species
ever discovered, according to a new paper
published in Science. Researchers say the
unique biology behind opah, also known
as moonfish, allow the species to operate
at peak performance even within frigid
ocean depths.
Being warm-blooded has its perks. Birds
and mammals (or endotherms) conserve
their internal heat to maintain high body
temperatures, which helps them flee
predators, chase prey and thrive in sub-
zero climates. But fish—and other cold-
blooded animals, like reptiles and
amphibians—aren't so lucky. Most deep-
sea fish move slowly, preferring to
ambush prey rather than give chase, was
their low body temperatures (and reaction
speeds) mirror the cool ocean water. But
now, scientists say they have discovered
one exception to this rule: opah.
"It's a real advantage if you're in this
deep, cold habitat and you're swimming
around with a warm body," says Nick
Wegner, an NOAA fisheries biologist and
lead author on the paper. "It increases
the rates of all the reactions that occur
within the body—you can swim faster, see
better, react faster and capture cold-
bodied prey that are not able to respond
nearly as quickly."
Opah, which resemble large, colorful tires,
thrive in the deep sea and are an
increasingly popular seafood. Although
Wegner had been studying opah for years,
he recently noticed that warm blood
vessels leaving the fish's heart wrap
around cooler blood vessels returning from
its gills. Later, he determined that
opah generate heat by flapping their
pectoral fins, and retain that heat through
this dense layer of blood vessels. Opah's
internal heating system is capable of
keeping the fish's heart and brain at peak
performance, even at depths of up to
1,300 feet.
Certain tuna and shark species also retain
body heat, and warm select muscles for
high-performance hunting, but these
species are far from warm-blooded: Most
of a shark or tuna's body (including its
heart and other vital organs) remains
cold. "Opah is the first fish that can
circulate warm blood throughout the
entire body, and that gives it some
advantages over tuna and shark species,"
Wegner says. "Since they can keep their
entire bodies warm, they can stay down
deep, continuously close to their forage
base."

let see who will get it

Show me your friend and I will show you who you will
become tomorrow!
HOW DID MR. GEOFFREY ONYEAMA BECOME THE
MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS -
Mr. Geoffrey Jideofor Onyeama(from Enugu state) was
included in the second ministerial list read out by senate
President Bukola Saraki because he is friends with
President Muhammadu Buhari's Chief of Staff, Abba
Kyari.
Both attended Cambridge University in the 1980's and
have been close friends ever since.
Who you're friends with defines(not just your present)
but your future too!
I bet Mr. Geoffrey Jideofor Onyeama never knew that
his friend, Mr. Abba Kyari will one day become the
Chief of Staff to the most populated and resource-full
country in Africa. And not just that his friend became
the Chief of Staff, his long time friend also
recommended for his appointment as the MINISTER OF
FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
What exactly am I driving at? Who you're friends with
matters! And most especially, when you finally associate
with friends of like-minds, maintaining the friendship is
also another challenge with ups and downs. Sometimes
when you have known people for a long time, you can
start to take them for granted.
Learning how to maintain and keep friendship alive
requires a lot of time and effort! (I fault at this too but
God will keep on strengthening me)
Below are crucial keys to maintaining friendship -
1. Always show appreciation(no matter how small the
assistance rendered) - always thank your friend when
he or she does something for you.
2.Show interest in your friend's life - a good friendship
should be two-sided. Be a good listener. When your
friend talks to you about something that's going on in
his or her life, really listen. Good relationships are built
on communication , so don't ignore your friend directly
or indirectly.
3.Build trust - this seems simple , but you have to both
constantly show each other that you can be trusted and
depended on as friends. Please and please , don't ever
gossip about your friend ! Gossip spreads quickly!
4.Have fun together - throw a party together, birthday,
movies or vacation together!
Do things that you both enjoy together ...
5. Maintain contact no matter what! If one friend moves
away, keep in touch. Visit whenever you can.(very
important)
Finally, the Last but not the least,
6.Handle arguments maturely(respect each other's view
no matter what) - when you and your friend have a
conflict, don't lash out and yell at them. Instead , talk
about your problems calmly and listen to both sides of
your story.
