Read 5 Reasons Why We Kiss

Have you ever wondered why we kiss? Whether we use it for an informal greeting or for a romantic gesture, kissing is an ingrained human behavior that seems to defy explanation. For many people, “it’s just something we do”, however Jumia Travel, the leading online travel agency, helps to reveal 5 reasons we kiss. It Maintains Attachment Especially when it is done as a romantic gesture, kissing is associated with more satisfaction in a relationship. It increases the levels of oxytocin (the love hormone and one of the major bonding chemicals in the body) in both partners, and the release of this hormone helps to promote bonding between the two. It Feels Good Our lips and tongues are packed with nerve endings that helps intensify the ‘dizzying’ sensations of love and attraction when we kiss. This is why it feels so good. The saliva swapped during kisses also contains testosterones which are mainly transferred by the men into the women. To Express Love and Affection Kissing is one of the many ways to express love and affection. It mainly expresses in a deep connection, your love or affection for the other person. In the process, it also plays a significant role in helping to relieve stress and show respect and admiration especially when it’s a kiss on the forehead or cheek. To Communicate Kisses communicate a variety of messages more profoundly and deeply than communication with words. A kiss can convey tenderness, respect, enthusiasm, passion and admiration. A kiss on the cheek for example, communicates respect and admiration. A kiss on the forehead is more nurturing and is mainly used to communicate tenderness and protection. To Promote Intimacy One of the ways to promote intimacy in a relationship is to kiss. Kissing of any form is more or less a request to enter into the personal space of another. Once the request is granted, it helps to cement intimacy and a sense of togetherness between the parties involved. This is one of the reasons you should be careful with who you let kiss you (be it on the lips, cheeks, forehead or any other part of your body) because overtime feelings will begin to develop.

Nigeria set for electric cars

By Ebele Orakpo In preparation for mass integration of electric vehicles in Africa, PSC Solar UK, the research and development arm of PSC Industries Limited, a Lagos, Nigeria-based solar electricity and renewable energy total solutions manufacturer, has announced the introduction of EV chargers for electric vehicles in Nigeria, Ghana, Niger and Benin Republic. The announcement was made by the company’s Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, Dr Patrick Owelle, at the Paris Motor Show in Paris, France, during PSC Solar UK’s exhibition on October 5, 2018. Speaking with Sunday Vanguard, Owelle said: “As everyone is now intimately aware of the current trending revolution of electric vehicles (EV), cars, buses, trains and boats manufacturers are all competing for market share in the EV Market as most governments, the world over, are beginning to ban diesel power engines due to climate change considerations and serious noise and environmental pollution.” Noting that the challenge posed by climate change and global warming is real and Africa must take a strong position now, the PSC Industries boss said: “The Lake Chad Basin is virtually drying up forcing migration into Europe by Africans in the region who otherwise relied on fishing and farming for their sustenance. The Ice Glaciers in Greenland are warming up and breaking off due to increase in environmental temperatures resulting from global warming. One cannot begin to imagine the disaster that will befall the earth should these glaciers melt and flood the earth.” In a chat with Vanguard in 2012 on their electric car innovation, Professor James Omoleye, former Director, Centre for Research, Covenant University Ota, Ogun State had stated that “if you can reduce pollution in the air coming through automobiles, then you would have reduced pollution by almost 80 per cent and life on earth will be safer.”” Reeling out the benefits of electric vehicles, Owelle said the benefits of electric vehicles go beyond environmental and climate change considerations but extends to the economy too. “It makes great economic sense for car owners, fleet owners, transport companies etc., because it will cost less than N300 to recharge a vehicle for range of 500 kilometres compared to over N4,000 with petrol or diesel. Moreover, there are no real moving parts to repair in electric vehicles so the unnecessary, continuous and expensive mechanic bills will be a thing of the past. “Electric vehicles are same as current cars, buses, trucks, etc. except that they no longer require petrol or diesel but purely powered by specially designed lithium iron phosphate battery banks. These vehicles have a range much longer than the normal petrol/diesel vehicles at up to 500 km per full charge.” He further stated that “PSC Industries’ Electric Vehicle chargers will be the equivalent of filling stations where vehicles can be recharged much like buying fuel. The difference is that the full recharge which takes about 5 -10 minutes, could cost about N300. We have various EV chargers such as commercial, industrial, residential and mobile EV DC chargers. We have chargers to suit the residential car owner, portable/transportable chargers and large petrol station type chargers.” He said the company plans to partner with large multinationals as well as indigenous oil firms to add these EV chargers to existing petrol stations across Nigeria. He called on African Governments to seize the moment and not get left behind as is always the case with emerging technologies; adding that “Africa has all it takes to become a leader in this technology and not continue to depend on crude oil only as its source of revenue. There will come a time when crude oil will no longer be as attractive as it is today and we must strive to continue to open up additional income streams. “So if you’ve started thinking about ways to reduce your carbon footprint and engage your community in sustainability efforts, electric vehicle is the way to go,” he said. Quote: It makes great economic sense too for car owners, fleet owners, transport companies etc because it will cost less than N300 to recharge a vehicle for range of 500 kilometres compared to over N4,000 with petrol or diesel

5 Signs That Indicates You Need Your Tyre Replaced

Your car tyres remain a very vital part of your car that is supposed to be in good condition at all times. Your tyre is meant to provide a safe grip with the ground in all situations to ensure good driveability of your car. Anything that makes your tyre deviate from giving your car safe grip to the ground should be avoided. Below are the warning signs that indicate it’s time to change your tyres.

1. Bulges: Bulges on any part of your trye are another clear indication that your tyre needs to be replaced. The bulges sprout out when the rigid internal frame of your tyre get damaged. These bulges can be caused by driving your car with low tyre pressure, hitting potholes or kerbs. When there is bulge(s), it is highly advised you change the tyre even if it looks fine. 2. Age: Pay attention to the age of your tyre. It is not very hard to check the age of your tyre. There are a 10-11 digits Tyre Identification Number (TIN) written on the sidewall of every tyre. The TIN tells you a lot of information about your tyre including the weak and year it was manufactured. 3. Cracks: Car tyres are almost at all times exposed to varying weather conditions. Some of these exposures can cause UV rays to break down the chemicals and oils used by the tyre manufacturers. When this occurs, the strength and flexibility of your tyres might get compromised leading to brittle-like texture of the tyre. This will often look like little cracks or holes in the tyre itself. These cracks on your tyres could be a sign of a future blowout. So it is definitely something you need to get checked soon. 4. Vibration: It is normal for your car to vibrate especially when plying bumpy roads. There are several causes of car vibration; one of them is bad tyres. An internal damage to the tyre can cause irregular spinning of the tyre, hence vibration. If you start noticing some vibrations even when on smooth road, it can be an indicator something could be wrong with your tyre. Inspect your tyre to find out what the problem is. 5. Wear on one side: You would probably need new tyres if they have severely worn out. Tread wear on the center strip of the tyre is a sign of over inflation, while wear on the edges is as a result of under inflation. Spread the love

5 Reasons Some Smart People Never Make It In Life (READ AND LEARN)

Toheeb is one of the smartest guys in the class back then in school. Since we graduated 2 years ago, he has been doing quite well in his career, but when he checks Instagram, he sees guys he outperformed in school who are making more money and achieving greater things than him.

Likewise, there some of his colleagues at his work place who are doing better than him. All these makes him wonder with no choice than to ask himself, “What Am I Doing Wrong”? You can relate right? You might relate to Toheeb yourself, or have a colleague or friend who struggles with the same feelings. The truth is, raw intelligence is undoubtedly a huge asset , but it is not everything. And sometimes, when intellectually gifted people don’t achieve as much as they would like to, it’s because they are indirectly under-rating themselves. If you’re in this situation, the good news is that when you understand these things that are hindering your success as an intelligent person, you can turn them around. Below Are five Things Smart People Particularly Struggle With That Is Preventing Them From Making It In Life:- 1. Smart People Don’t Value Other Skills, Like Relationship Building, And Over-concentrate On Intellect Very smart people sometimes are always over confident of their success in life because of their intellect, so they don’t see other soft skills as important. For instance, some smart people don’t always feel the need to go out clubbing or chill out, they prefer to stay indoor working or watching educative programmes forgetting that going out chilling relaxes the brain and also increases your chances of meeting people who will offer you bigger contracts. They grow up being told they’re smart, and during their schooling, academic success comes more easily to them than to others. It’s easy to understand why, as a result, they would continue to focus on their intellect as adults and other things like building strong relationships with people becomes meaningless to them. In life, you need more than raw intelligence to get ahead. And only focusing on your greatest strength, rather than also addressing your weaknesses, tends to be self-destructive. The Solution: Use your strengths to overcome your weaknesses. If you’re good at learning you can simply learn the skills that don’t come as naturally to you. Learn how to talk to people, relate with others and developing positive attitude. For instance, identify three specific workplace diplomacy behaviours that would improve your success in that area. You can be smart buy your attitude makes you smarter! 2. Teamwork Can Be Frustrating For Very Smart People Smart people grasps idea quickly and has high standards for their own performances. This makes it difficult for them when working with others who process information and grab ideas slowly. This frustration develop early in smart kids they feel other slow learners are holding them back and as a result, they have problem with team work. Some students will put it upon themselves to handle group assignments involving 10 people by themselves all because they feel they can do it all better. Smart people also sometimes find it difficult to delegate because of a sense they can do a task better (regardless of whether this is actually true.) This is especially likely for those who have a perfectionist streak. If you understand the concept of associative thinking you will know that no idea is entirely bad no matter how useless they appear. You can’t be smart in everything, some people know more than you in some situations. The Solution: Be self-compassionate about your internal reactions and understand where they come from, but also learn to genuinely appreciate what people of different minds bring to a team. 3. Smart People Often Attach A Lot Of Their Self- esteem To Being Smart, Which Can Decrease Their Hustling Spirit If a lot of your self-esteem rests on your intelligence, it can be very difficult to be in situations that threatens your smartness. Smart people always avoid taking risk that will put them situation of getting criticized and as such they are always contented the little success they are getting. Any situation that triggers feeling not- smart is experienced as highly threatening. The smart person may even seek to avoid those situations, which ultimately holds the person back. For instance, I have a secondary school mate who is a naturally gifted singer but won’t go into music because he feels the chance of making it in music in Nigeria is a low. That’s fear of failure. The Solution: Take an objective view of the benefits of working with people who are, in some respects, smarter than you. If you’re surrounding yourself with smart people, you’re doing something right. Remember, iron sharpens iron. Develop relationships with people who you trust to give you helpful constructive feedback. The more you become accustomed to receiving criticisms as feedbacks from people who believe in your overall talents and capacities, the easier it will become. 4. Smart People Get Bored Easily If you’re smart, curious, and have a love of learning , you might find yourself loosing interest quickly in anything once you’ve learnt it. This is why some people, after learning graphics design instead of focusing on it so that can be cashing out steady, they move to learning web- designs and after some months of getting bored with codes, they want to start learning video editing again. The everyday execution side of one thing might bore you, and you’d rather constantly be learning new different things. As a result, finding a niche and repeating the same formula might seem too boring or unchallenging to you as a smart person. The Solution: Instead of attempting dramatic change, decide on something related to what you’re currently into, learn it and be using it to break the boredom. For instance, if you’re a graphics designer, you can learn photography so that when you get bored designing, you can go out to take some beautiful photos, then come back to design. Additionally, make sure you’re learning across the various domains of your life, including your work, hobbies, physical fitness, understanding yourself and so on. 5. Smart People Sometimes See In-depth Thinking As The Solution To Every Problem Intelligent people are used to succeeding through their thinking skills, but in most cases overlook when a different approach would be more beneficial. For example, the smart person might attack every situation by trying to think it to death, over- researching every decision and ruminating over every mistake when other approaches geared towards coming up with solutions would be more fruitful. The Solution: Notice when you’re thinking too much. Consider when strategies other than thinking are more likely to result in success. Experiment with taking breaks to get unstuck, and allow yourself to learn by doing something instead of exhaustive advance research. Expand your range of skills for getting solutions so that you’re not the person who sees every problem as a nail because their only tool is a hammer. If you can relate to any of the points above, do not judge yourself or feel shameful about it, know that you can turn them around by the tactical and practical solutions we have highlighted. Which Of The 5 Points Can You Relate With The Most? Feel free to share as we will be replying all comments to help you further.
