CRASH COURSE ON RADIO PRESENTING...

Radio Presenters are the voice of a station or programme, whether they work in speech-based or music Radio. They are responsible for creating the tone and style of Radio output and establishing a relationship with listeners. They may also be required to carry out a range of other production tasks, as well as deliver content for related websites or other mobile platforms
Radio Presenters' specific responsibilities differ considerably depending on the programme or station. The majority of Radio Presenters are part of a small team, although some work with much larger programme units. They are mainly based in offices and recording studios, but may also work on location presenting outside broadcasts.
Most presenters are self-employed, working on fixed term contracts. Although the greatest concentration of jobs is found in London and the South East, Radio Presenters work throughout the UK. They may work for the BBC, commercial or community radio, on local or national stations, or for independent production companies.

The event planning profession is unique in that it takes a blend of people, business and program management skills to succeed. Here’s a list of top five attributes that makes the difference between a good and a great event manager.
 
Organizational skills

Digital Photography Tips for Beginners

 Don’t go crazy buying the most expensive equipment right away.

It’s possible to get very nice photos with an inexpensive point and shoot. See these examples on Flickr. The more photos you take, the more you’ll know about what kind of camera to get when it’s time to upgrade.

2. Consider a tripod.      

On the other hand, an inexpensive tripod is worth getting, especially if you have shaky hands like mine. When I got a tripod, my satisfaction with my shots skyrocketed. For even more stability, use your camera’s timer function with a tripod (read our introduction to tripods).

Music on the Web: Google, Facebook and Apple set to battle for your ears

Silicon Valley is poised to upend the music industry -- again.

From Napster to Pandora, from the iPod to the iPhone, technology innovation has made music easier to find and cheaper to buy than ever before. At the same time, it has destabilized the music business and left artists -- at least those not named Justin Bieber or Taylor Swift -- fearing for their livelihoods.

In this latest music revolution, companies like Google (GOOG), Apple (AAPL) and Facebook are eyeing the streaming and on-demand music business now dominated by smaller niche companies such as Pandora and Spotify. When they do -- and most analysts agree it's really just a matter of time -- they could give nearly everyone the ability to listen to whatever they want, whenever they want -- and mostly for free.

A BLIND REPORT... for one eyed men

A BLIND REPORT... for one eyed men

                                                           

The superlative hunger for responsible leadership is to say the least Nigeria’s most important prayer point. But I find it hard from wondering, asking myself the one question we ignore the most; Yes! We need change, agreed, we need some measure of direction in leadership, a responsible government, but do we really deserve it? On a scale of justice, do we stand a chance based on our past and present?

PARENTING TIPS MADE EASY

LETTER TO NIGERIAN PARENTS

 Friends,

Let me add the benefit of my time as a student and then resident in the UK - and I live in Lagos now. The first thing that I discovered about UK-born, white, English undergraduates was that all of them did holiday or weekend job to support themselves - including the children of millionaires amongst them. It is the norm over there - regardless how wealthy their parents are. And I soon discovered that virtually all other foreign students did the same - the exception being those of us status-conscious Nigerians.

 I also watched Richard Branson (owner of Virgin Airline) speaking on the Biography Channel and, to my amazement; he said that his young children travel in the economy class -even when the parents (he and his wife) are in upper class. Richard Branson is a billionaire in Pound Sterling. A quick survey would show you that only children from Nigeria fly business or upper class to commence their studies in the UK . No other foreign students do this. There is no aircraft attached to the office of the prime minister in the UK - he travels on British Airways (BA). And the same goes for the Royals. The Queen does not have an aircraft for her exclusive use.

EXCUSE ME!… FIND YOUR BALANCE.

EXCUSE ME!… FIND YOUR BALANCE.

It is unfortunate that man is growing and becoming advanced in technology, industrialization and other aspect of civilization. Yet man is increasingly retrogressing in matters of Humanity.
Man has succeeded in growing big big bombs that will destroy humanity with the excuse of war, crises, and the slightest provocation.


However, this same man has been unable to create weapons that will foster UNITY. Bullets that will increase PEACE, tablets that will improve HONESTY and KINDESS.


Despite our modernization, people of old seem to live better, happier and loved life.
Simply because they take better decisions, they apply better knowledge based on right or wrong. This is why they know that:
No matter what you benefit from greed and dishonesty, patience and honesty is always the best. This is why they knew that good women get married faster but only wise women keep the home.


This is why good women because of one foolish mistake they destroy their homes, yet bad women keep their homes despite them, because of some wise decisions.
If you are wise and you reflect on the issues of life. You will know that a man that cannot be faithfull to his own vision, dreams or purpose. A man that cannot stand firm for his belief s and conviction cannot be faithfull to a woman, whether she is a girlfriend or wife.


Sadly we seem to be very good at selecting good materials, quality shoes and handbag. But we fail to take the right decisions.
Sometimes we lose the little best we have because of the extra big we are expecting due to bad decision.
Life is like a market. There are always too many things to buy, but you must choose the ones you need the most and those which you can afford.

Therefore life is choice and choices are about values, and values are about perception, perception is about knowledge.
This means you must have the right and proper knowledge. Failure to do so, you are doomed to fail, Now or later.
The truth is simply, if you are wise, it is you that will benefit, if you are foolish only you will bear.

This is the burden of balance.

MUCH MORE THAN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY.

MUCH MORE THAN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY.


The world is one big question begging for answers. With all the uncertainties around us, we are constantly at the edge of learning to respond appropriately to these same earthly interrogations. However, very few understand that love, faith and hope are common answers to the many questions that choke us.


Unfortunately also, we have failed to identify a sublime about love, faith and hope because these are not the answers to the dynamic desires of man. These are customized solutions to man’s most basic needs. This means that as a sublime, it is constant, they don’t change with time.

It is our effort to upgrade love that is the problem with marriage and relationship, it is also our desire to update hope and redefine faith that has resulted to the misunderstandings and complexities in natures most simplified life jackets.
Because of this corrupt perception, we can no longer enjoy the benefits of love, faith, and hope in their original union.
It is true that to a large extend man, has conquered planet earth through science and technology, but I think it would do man more good to remember that the universe still lies unconquered. For despite the extensiveness of freedom, death often time extinguishes our reach.


Having said this, my conclusion is that, it is time we put away our unblended desire to conquer the world and perhaps pay a little attention in conquering self. And see if we can tame this greed, violence and this destructive thirst to enslave and victimize the rest of humanity.

I sincerely believe that the taming of man will indeed be A DISCOVERY OF THE MILLINIA. This is because this list though an excerpt of our destructive striving industry tires me.

BETWEEN THE ANT AND THE ELEPHANT, WHICH IS BIGGER?

THINK ABOUT THIS.

Ha! Ha!! Ha!!!

Life is beautifully funny, imagine, even the English language understands that trials precedes blessings and that the mighty is incomplete without the lesser ones. Can you spell ‘testimony’ without test first? Or can you spell ‘elephant’ without ‘ant’ completing it?

Could it be a co-incidence? Perhaps, but it sit shows that the universe testifies to the spiritual make-up of the basic truths and no matter our language differences, there’s always something to point us back to the principles of life as ordained by the creator himself.

Are you passing through test today? I congratulate you because your ‘mony’ is on the way, so there will be a testimony for you.
Please relish every movement of the test for you to have an abundant and ground breaking testimony.
If you are a mighty man or woman, please do not despise the little ones around you for you are no one without them.
There is no animal called ‘eleph’ but there is an ‘ant’, therefore, yours sincerely submits that it is the elephant that needs the ant to be complete as ‘ant’ is already complete without the ‘eleph’

Enjoy the days ahead.

THATCHOUSE.

THE THIN LINE; CROSS AND DIE.

Every meaning and purpose in life is separated by a thin line, it divides and separates us. Like a road path, route, there are distinctive boundaries. Each of the boundaries complements the circle of our existence. Justice and truth is only realistic within the context of these boundaries. This thin line is what explains justice, what uncovers the true meaning of truth.

300 OLD DISEASE:ORIGIN OF BLACK MAN MENTALITY

The first black man arrived Virginia in 1619, then the blacks were initially treated as indentured servants. After period of service, they were free to go  work their own land. But by 1681, laws were passed to legalize slavery. From then on Africa became the world’s greatest “Manufactures of Slaves”.

 So for almost 200 years, Africans have been wearing the chains of slavery, on the legs, hands and as decorative necklace of labour.

  

Thereafter came the era of independence. By sheer strategy of misdirection, the chains were removed after much complaint. Please note, the chains were not broken. It was simply removed from hands, legs and neck and embedded in the brain.

Ever since, the black mind has been struggling to understand itself. But since the black mind inadvertently was the disease itself, it has become an almost  futile surgical exercise to free the diseased mind.

EXCELLENCE BRIDGE PROVIDES LASTING SOLUTION TO PEACE

Femi Osofisan’s Women of Owu, a play, recounts events that happened years ago, an adaption.

What makes it more out of the ordinary is that the play is an African retelling of Euripides’ The Trojan Women. One would gain more from this play if the original book had been read. However, more gain lies on the fact that the play would also be fantastic to see live.

Like some other plays such as Arrow of God, Radio Gulf, Visa to Nowhere, etc. which have been performed live on stage by notable group of artists to the delight of the audience, the Excellence Bridge School is offering an exciting and amazing performance of Women of Owu.
