Alves:i will leave barca if the energy doesn't change
from admin on 05/09/2014 08:41 AMAlves: I'll leave Barcelona
if the energy doesn't
change
The defender could depart Camp
Nou this summer and insists that
this season will be a "disaster" if
the Catalan giants fail to reclaim
the league title
By Peter McVitie
May 8, 2014 11:53:24 PM
Dani Alves has cast
doubts on his future at
Barcelona, saying he
will leave unless there
is a "change in energy"
at the club.
The 31-year-old right-back joined the
Catalan giants from Sevilla in 2008 and has
won a plethora of trophies at Camp Nou,
including four La Liga titles as well as two
Champions Leagues and Club World Cups.
But the Brazilian, who has been linked to a
move to Paris Saint-Germain recently, said
that he feels hurt by the amount of
criticism he and the team have received
this term as they crashed out of the
Champions League and continue to trail
Atletico Madrid in La Liga. As a result, he
claimed he could leave the club this
summer.
"It’s very hard to get the chance to play for
Barcelona and, whether people like it or
not, I’m part of the history of this club," he
told RAC1. "I need energy, it’s what
motivates me; I’m an upbeat, happy
person.
"I’ve always been like that, but because
the results aren’t what people expect, they
need someone to shoot at and I feel shot
at. I really believe in energy, I live off this
energy and, if you start to create negative
energy, things don’t flow.
"If this energy doesn’t change, I’ll probably
leave because it wears you down. If I'm to
stay this summer, there has to be a change
of energy."
Alves then turned his attention to his
side's title run-in. With two weeks of the
season remaining, they sit three points
behind league leaders Atletico Madrid, who
they face on the final day.
“If we don’t win the league, this season is a
disaster," he said. “We’re getting too many
chances, and you can’t let chances slip. I
trust this team 100 per cent and I
guarantee we won’t disappoint."
He further indicated that the speculation
surrounding Luis Enrique taking over from
current coach Gerardo Martino comes at an
inopportune moment for the team.
"As a player I think he was phenomenal
and as a coach he’s doing a very good job at
Celta, but I think that at this club people
are often too hasty. We’re still fighting for
the title. People need to take things a bit
more calmly, not rush things so much,
because the season hasn’t finished."
He was then asked for his thoughts on his
side's signing of compatriot Neymar.
"Very strange things happen here. Real
Madrid were going to pay €100 million for
Neymar, Barca get him for €57m and
people say it’s an incredible amount.
What’s incredible is that he came here
when €100m was being offered."
Replymanchester city trap aston villa to g top of the EPL TABLE
from admin on 05/08/2014 08:10 AMManchester City trash Aston
Villa to go top of the EPL
table
By Shehu Bello
May 07, 2014
Manchester City cruised to the top of
the EPL table with an emphatic 4-0
win at home to Aston Villa. Four
second half goals from Edin Dzeko,
Stevan Jovetic and Yaya Toure
ensured that City secure all three
points.
The game was not as easy as the
score line may have suggested. City
struggled to breakdown the resolute
Villa defense on a rain-soaked pitch at
the Etihad Stadium. The pressure of
being title favourites seem to weigh
on the Manuel Pellegrini tutored-side
in the first half as they were unable
to convert the few chances that came
their way.
The home team looked a different
side in the second half as they took
their opponent to the sword. Edin
Dzeko opened the scoring for
Manchester City in the 64 minute
of the game, the forward was on
hand to make it 2-0 eight minute
later with a simple tap-in after Samir
NasriÂs effort was saved by Brad
Guzan.
The Citizens looked more confident
as they pass the ball around more
easily and they look likely to score
more goals. Stevan Jovetic made it
3-0 in the 89 minute following
some quick feet by Yaya Toure. The
Ivorian made it 4-0 in added time
with a solo effort.
In the end, Aston VillaÂs resistant
lasted for just 45 minute as they
were comprehensively dispatched by
a City side looking to secure their
second EPL title in three years.

suspected kidnapper set ablaze in lagos
from admin on 05/07/2014 08:55 AMLAGOS — A woman accused of an
attempt to kidnap three primary school
pupils in Ekoro area of Abule-Egba, Lagos
was yesterday set ablaze by an angry
mob.
The incident occurred barely 24 hours
after two primary school pupils were
rescued from a suspected kidnapper at
Ile-epo area of Egbe.
Report said the three pupils, two males
and a female, whose ages were put
between seven and 10 years, were on
their way to school at about 7 a.m when
the unnamed woman accosted them on a
pretense that she was taking them to
school.
But a female hawker said to have
suspected her moves reportedly alerted
bystanders along Ekoro Road who
challenged the woman.
Eye witnesses said the woman claimed
the children were hers, but the names
she called them differed from those the
children gave.
Eye witnesses further said the direction
the woman was taking the children to
was not that of the school the children
attend.
According to an eye witness, who gave his
name as Chionye, “All the responses she
gave were contrary to that given by the
pupils.
“When asked of the name of the school,
she had to strain her eyes to see if she
could read it from the badge on the
children’s school uniform. When we asked
the pupils if they knew her, they shook
their heads.
“It was at that point that a man from the
crowd that had gathered round her said
the woman parked her car somewhere
around the direction she was taking the
children.
“Not satisfied with her explanation, the
mob was said to have descended on her,
in the process of which she was set
ablaze before the arrival of policemen.
The incident reportedly caused a hitch in
the free flow of traffic.
Effort to get the reaction of the Lagos
State Police Public Relations Officer, Ngozi
Braide, failed as she could not be reached
on phone.
Meanwhile, effort by another woman to
kidnap two primary school pupils,
Monday, at Ile-epo area of Egbe was
foiled by passers-by.
Report said the woman had succeeded in
abducting the children and took them
under the bridge and was making calls to
some unknown person that she had found
some ‘goods’ when she was apprehended.
Passers-by among whom was one Colonel
Adeniran, reportedly kept the woman
hostage before the arrival of policemen
from Ejigbo division.
Sources at the division said investigation
was ongoing.
The arrest brings to fore, five cases of
foiled kidnap attempt in two weeks

BY BARTHOLOMEW MADUKWE
LAGOS — The prosecution in the trial of
Cynthia Osokogu’s alleged murderers,
yesterday, presented before a Lagos High
Court in Igbosere, a laptop containing
naked pictures of the deceased.
Among the pictures presented, Cynthia’s
body was seen cellotaped. In another
one, her international passport was
placed on her chest and another picture
was a close-up shot of her private part.
The four defendants are Okwumo
Nwabufo, 33; Olisaeloka Ezike, 23; Orji
Osita, 33 and Ezike Nonso, 25.
Led-in-evidence by Lagos State Attorney
General, Mr. Ade Ipaye, the prosecution’s
witness (PW2), Sgt. John Babalola, told
the court that the said pictures were sent
by the 1st defendant (Nwabufo) from his
Blackberry phone to his laptop.
“After we discovered the picture, ACP Dan
Okoro, the Area Commander, asked that
additional statements be made based on
picture. The statement was signed by the
1st defendant. When the 1st defendant
was arrested, he confessed that he knew
what he did and that everything was over.
The 1st defendant sent the picture to his
laptop through his Blackberry phone. The
1st defendant operated the Blackberry
phone to show us (police) the chain used
in tying the deceased. The owner of the
phone is the 1st defendant,”Babalola
said.
According to the PW2, on August 20,
2012, the 1st defendant was arrested and
his statement was taken. Based on his
confessional statement, PW2 told the
court that he and his team followed the
1st defendant to his home in Festac and
recovered the said laptop, phones and
various network SIM cards.
Babalola added: “On that same date, the
1st defendant was asked to open the
laptop, which he carried by himself to the
Area Commander’s office, and he was
asked to open the said laptop. I and one
ASP Marian were there and we saw the
picture of the deceased lying down and
her international passport on her chest.”
Another prosecution’s witness (PW1),
Insp. Joseph Edo, during cross-
examination, maintained that from his
investigation, he discovered that the 4th
defendant (Nonso) received stolen
phones from the 1st and 2nd defendants
on three occasions.
“The 4th defendant took me to Ladipo
market where he stole somebody’s
receipt which he used in selling the
deceased’s phone to somebody in Port
Harcourt and the person was arrested. He
bought the phone for N30,000 and sold
for N40,000. He also knows that his elder
brother does not deal on phone. He
confessed that he gave the locked phone
to a phone repairer who flashed it for
him,” Edo stated.
The witness informed the court that there
was another investigation against the
defendants, in two hotels (Chelsea Suit
and Penny Hotel), where they were
alleged to have carried out similar act.

Eg: 2^4 Means 2 raise to power 4.
L^-2 means L raise to power -2(minus
two)
-COMMA MEANS NEXT LINE.
Eg: x: 4,2,3,4,5 means that you draw a
table, then under x, you will get 4, under
4 is 2, under 2 is 3, under 3 is 4 and so
on.

Precautions:
- I ensured the experiment was not
affected by air interference when
determining the balance points
- I ensured the mass roll down freely as
being influenced under gravity
- I ensured that the readings were taken
without any error
FORCE OF GRAVITY: The total
gravitational force which acts on a body
and so enables it,in turn to exert an
equal force on its support
DISPLACEMENT: This Is defined as the
distance moved in a specified direction
NEWTONIAN MECHANICS:
This is defined as the rate of change of
distance moved with time in a specified
direction or rate of change of
displacement
UNIFORM VELOCITY: A body moved with
uniform velocity if its rate of change of
distance moved with time in a specified
direction is constant
ACCELERATION: This is defined as the
rate of change of velocity with time
INERTIA: The tendency of a body to
remain at rest or if moving,to continue its
motion in a straight line
UNIFORM ACCERATION: A body moved
with uniform acceleration,if its rate of
change of velocity with time in a specified
direction is constant
DECCELERATION: A decreasing velocity
or slowing down is usually called
retardation.
