SENIOR YEAR (2022)Stories
sirsmallz | 2023-03-2108 HELLO TFANS,
Senior Year is a 2022 American comedy filmdirected by Alex Hardcastle. The film stars Rebel Wilson(who also produced) as a 37-year-old woman who awakens from a 20-year coma and decides to go back to high school to earn her diploma.
In 1999, after a disastrous birthday party at the local "cool" spot, Rock N Bowl, with her friends Seth and Martha, 14 year-old Australian immigrant Stephanie Conway decides she wants to be one of "the populars". She spends the next few years giving herself a makeover, becoming cheer squad captain, dating popular boy Blaine, and becoming one of the most popular girls by senior year.
In 2002, Stephanie plans to win the title of prom queen in hopes of becoming like Deanna Russo, an alumna of her high schoolwho got married after graduation, and now lives in an expensive mansion. She lives with her widowed father and is still friends with Martha and Seth, who secretly has a crush on her. Stephanie has regular disagreements over prom preparations with Blaine's ex-girlfriend Tiffany, who feels threatened by the prospect of Stephanie winning the prom queen title. At a cheer performance, Tiffany convinces her friends to sabotage Stephanie's landing, severely injuring her and putting her into a coma.
Twenty years later, in 2022, Stephanie, now 37, wakes from her coma. Her father and Martha, now principal and cheerleading coachat Harding High, take her home. On the way, driving past Deanna Russo's old house, Stephanie sees that the now-married Tiffany and Blaine reside there. With reluctant support from her father and Martha, Stephanie goes back to high school to finish her senior year, where she learns that Seth is now the librarian, and the positions of prom king and queen have been abolished due to student complaints. Additionally, Tiffany and Blaine's daughter Bri is the most popular girl at school and has a huge social mediafollowing. The cheerleaders are no longer the popular students and are forced to perform bland, sanitized routines with no dancing.
Stephanie works to regain her former popularity through social media, finally succeeding after a risqué cheer routine she choreographs without Martha's permission goes viral at a pep rally. The next day, she is confronted by Martha, who tells her that she and Seth felt abandoned when Stephanie became popular back in high school. Stephanie decides to attend a showing of Deep Impact with Seth, and they get closer after goading Tiffany into getting kicked out of the theater for being disruptive. Afterwards, they have drinks at the Rock N Bowl and Stephanie confesses that she wants to be elected prom queen so badly because she wants to make her late mother proud.
Tiffany uses Bri's influence at school to get the prom king and queen contest reinstated and invites everyone at school except Stephanie to a prom afterparty at their house. Stephanie decides to host her own afterparty at Martha's lake house without her knowledge. Seth agrees to go to prom with Stephanie but is hurt when he sees Blaine attempt to kiss her, not knowing that Blaine was drunk and tried to force himself on her. Bri's boyfriend Lance becomes prom king, and although Tiffany rigs the vote so Bri will win, Bri drops out so that Stephanie is the prom queen. As Stephanie and Lance share the prom king and queen dance, the school rallies around her. Bri tells everyone to attend Stephanie's afterparty, which is successful until Tiffany gets the police to shut it down. Martha angrily confronts Stephanie for using her lake house without asking.
Stephanie tears down her popularity board and contemplates skipping the graduation ceremony, but her father convinces her to attend. Streaming an apology to her followers and friends, she promises to be her true self from now on. At graduation, her friends and family secretly organize the cheer routine from Stephanie's senior year. She makes up with Martha, finally kisses Seth, and welcomes Tiffany to join them on stage as she finally gets to pull off the move that she never got to do twenty years earlier.

CERTAIN THINGS TO NOTE DURING LATE NIGHT TRAVELSSimileoluwa445 | 2023-03-20017 Tips and Tricks
HELLO T-FANS,
Welcome to today's session, today's post is basically about night traveling and it's notable conditions.
There are actually some people who delight in traveling late at night, some people in this category are of the opinion that you get to view illuminated sightings, some others are more adverse to night traveling, but then find themselves in such a situation. Be it you're a lover or night traveling or not, there are some certain things to take note of.
Some of which are;
1. CHECK YOUR CAR’S SYSTEMS BEFORE YOU TRAVEL AT NIGHT:
Before you travel at night, it’s a good idea to give your car a quick once-over to ensure all of its systems are in good working order. This is especially important at night when you’ll rely more heavily on your car’s headlights and taillights.
Be sure the windshields are clean and the headlights are not dim so that you have an unobstructed view of the road. Check your taillights and turn signals to ensure they’re functioning properly. If any of your car’s systems aren’t working correctly, it’s best to get them fixed before hitting the road.
2. MAP OUT A ROUTE:
If you plan to drive somewhere new, map out your route and become familiar with the area in the daytime before you travel at night. Doing that will help you feel more confident behind the wheel when night falls. If possible, try to stick to well-lit, major roads and avoid shortcuts through the dark, deserted areas.
3. CHECK YOUR VISION BEFORE YOU TRAVEL AT NIGHT:
You can take a few steps to ensure your vision is up to par for night driving. First, get your eyes checked regularly. If you wear glasses or contacts, make sure they’re up-to-date.
Second, adjust your car’s mirrors properly. Mirrors that aren’t correctly positioned can make it difficult to see other vehicles, which can be dangerous when driving at night.
Last, clean your car windows regularly. Dirty glass can make it difficult to see at night.
4. DIM YOUR DASHBOARD LIGHT:
Illuminated dashboard displays can be distracting at night. The glare can also make it hard for your eyes to adjust to the darkness, making it difficult to see.
To avoid this issue, lower the brightness of your dashboard instrumentation gauge and infotainment display. You can do this by turning a knob on your dashboard or using a dash mat.
5. WATCH YOUR SPEED:
Driving too fast is never a good idea, but it’s particularly important to follow posted speed limits at night when your field-of-view is limited. The faster you drive, the less time you have to respond if something pops out unexpectedly. It’s also a good idea to make sure you have a following distance of at least three seconds between your own car and any vehicle in front of you.
Thanks for reading.

How To Turn Off Screenshot Sound On Your TECNO Android PhonesCARLCARE NG | 2023-03-20123 Carlcare
Hello T-Fans,
There are times when you get to browse through some pictures online for a fashion style or for a product that you want to purchase at a later time. In your bid to select them and save them, you do not necessarily have to download the pictures. All you need to do is take a screenshot.
Even when you see an important piece of information or a captivating quote while surfing the internet, you may want to save it without having to write it down, which of course might be stressful for you. Therefore, to save you the stress, all you need to do is take a screenshot.
This android phone feature has made it so easy for android phone users to save vital information in the fastest way possible and this would just require the user to:
✓ press the power button and the volume down button together or
✓ Go to the control center on the phone and click on screenshot.
HOW TO TURN OFF SCREENSHOT SOUND ON YOUR ANDROID SMARTPHONES.
Screenshots are a fantastic tool for preserving and sharing your favorite memories. However, when you take them, they also create noise. This might rapidly become irritating if you often take screenshots. Some individuals, nevertheless, may not wish to take screenshots. due to the loudness or embarrassment they generate when heard by others. However, when a screenshot is taken, a shutter sound is heard, as though the user is using the camera to take a picture. If you are not so comfortable with that sound, this article is for you, as we suggest ways you can turn off screenshot sound on android and they are as follows:
STEP 1: Putting Your Phone On Silent Mode.
With the silent mode feature on your android smartphone, you won’t hear a sound while taking a screenshot.
All you need to do is to press and hold the “volume down” button on your phone till the phone goes to silent mode.
However, one issue with using the silent mode to turn off screenshot sound on android is that the “silent mode” affects all aspects of the phone. This means that your phone will not ring out when a call comes in and this can be detrimental to important things in your life like work, and family, especially in the case of emergencies.
One way to deal with this is that once you want to take a screenshot, put your phone on silent mode. Once you are done taking the screenshot, return the phone to ringer mode.
Another way is to leave your phone in vibration mode if it is convenient.
STEP 2: Take Screenshots Covertly With Google Assistant.
There is a way to capture quiet screenshots on a smartphone running stock Android.
There is however, no sound made when a screenshot is taken using Google Assistant. This is likewise unaffected by ringer modes.
Steps to follow include :
✓ Activate Google Assistant.
Press the home button for a long time if you're using the three- or two-button navigation.
If you're using gesture navigation, swipe slantedly from the left or right corner.
✓ To enter a command, tap the keyboard icon and type: take screenshot, or take a screenshot.
✓ The screenshot will then be taken by Google Assistant without making a sound.
✓ The Android share sheet appears as soon as it captures the screenshot.
Although you may share the screenshot straight from this page, you should be aware that it has not yet been saved. As a result, the screenshot won't appear in your gallery if you share it on an app.
✓ If you were going to erase the screenshot anyhow, this is a good option.
✓ If you decide to save the snapshot, choose Edit then Save.
When Google Assistant appears, you may voice the order to take a screenshot rather than typing it. However, it rather defeats the point of capturing a snapshot silently. This just to inform yo that uthere really is no point trying it.
STEP 3: The Use Of Third Party Apps.
You may also test out a lot of independent screenshot applications on the Google Play Store. Many of them offer the ability to turn the sound off or do not produce one at all.
Examples of such apps include: screenshot touch which is very easy to use and it saves you the stress of pressing the power and down volume buttons together so as to get a screenshot.
The other example is screenshot assistant. This app enables you to take screenshots with the home button. The only slight challenge with it is that it disables the google assistant feature by acting in its stead.
STEP 4: Activate Do Not Disturb (DND)
Another choice to disable the screenshot sound is this one. All sounds and alerts are turned off when the DND is activated. But it only functions with Android devices.
To achieve this, follow the steps below:
✓ Swipe down from the top of the screen to access the Control Centre.
✓ To turn off the sounds, tap DND.
STEP 5: Connect To Your Earbuds Or Headphones.
This is one of the simplest and easiest solutions to consider if you turn off screenshot sound on android. This can also be considered as the best option. This is because you don't need to enable any mute features or go through any additional steps.
So all you have to do is to connect any wireless or wired headphones or earphones you may have to your android smartphone. Instead of the sound coming from your device's speaker when you capture a screenshot, it will come through your linked headphones or earbuds, which are only audible to the person using them. So if you want to stop hearing the screenshot sound, you should absolutely do this.
CONCLUSION.
We know that there are people like you who do not like the idea of your phones ringing out loud, let alone a screenshot sound. Hope this article was helpful enough to inform you on the ways to turn off screenshot sounds on your android device.

ATHENA (2022)sirsmallz | 2023-03-18218 Stories
HELLO TFANS,
Athena is a 2022 French epic action drama film directed by Romain Gavras, from a screenplay by Gavras, Ladj Ly and Elias Belkeddar. The film stars Dali Benssalah, Sami Slimane, Anthony Bajon, Ouassini Embarek and Alexis Manenti.
Abdel, an Algerian-French soldier, holds a press conference outside a police station after his 13-year-old brother Idir dies in hospital, the result of three apparent policemen beating and leaving him for dead. He appeals for calm, but a group of youth, led by Abdel’s brother Karim, disrupt the press conference by tossing a Molotov cocktail and raiding the police station. After stealing a weapons locker and a police van, the youth head back to their banlieue Athena, where Abdel also grew up. They begin to barricade themselves - and the residents of Athena - inside the housing complex.
CRS riot police are sent to put down the uprising, while the youth respond by shooting fireworks and other improvised missiles at the police. In the middle of the chaos, a drug dealer named Moktar tries to move bags of contraband out of Athena. With the youth refusing to let him leave, Moktar and his gang take shelter in Athena’s shisha lounge, where they dig a hole to stash the contraband until the uprising has passed.
Abdel returns to Athena to attend a memorial service for Idir. He sees Karim and tries to speak to him, but the latter escapes where the memorial service is disrupted by the ongoing violence outside. Abdel then helps to organize an evacuation and shelter for Athena’s residents, including a former terrorist named Sebastien, whom Abdel shelters in Athena’s daycare center. While leading a group of residents past a group of riot police, an altercation begins, and Abdel and other residents of Athena are kettled and arrested.
Night falls and the riot police move in on the housing complex. Their units are forced to retreat, and in the ensuing chaos a young officer named Jerôme is separated from his unit and captured by the youth. The youth send a video of Jerôme to the police, threatening to kill him unless the three policemen who beat Idir are identified. Abdel is released from custody by the on-site police commander and sneaks in to Athena, where he confronts Karim about the violent uprising he has incited. He attempts to leave with Jerôme, but the youth pursue them, and the two are forced to take shelter in the shisha lounge.
Moktar greets Abdel, and it is revealed that the two are half-brothers. He calls policemen who are on his payroll, and they agree to come rescue Jerôme. Karim, intent on recapturing Jerôme, confronts Abdel through the security shutter covering the front of the shisha lounge, while others try to break in through a side door. The standoff is ended when the corrupt policemen arrive, but Karim attacks them and is shot dead.
Enraged by his brother’s death, Abdel savagely beats Moktar and captures Jerôme for himself. He calls the police commander and reiterates the rioters’ demands for the policemen’s names, then instructs Sebastien to aid the youth. The police commander calls once more, insisting that the policemen on the video were not actual police, and warns Abdel that the police tactical unit is being sent in. On a video call with the commander, Abdel points his gun at Jerôme and fires twice, but it is revealed that he intentionally missed. Overcome by emotion, Abdel makes no attempt to stop Jerôme from leaving the building. With the tactical team closing in, the building level is blown up by makeshift bombs created by Sebastien, killing Abdel.
In the final scene of the movie, a man in a van is shown recording the beating of Idir, which is later posted on social media. The “policemen” are revealed to be far-right instigators in disguise; they enter the van, drive into the woods, and burn the uniforms they had worn, revealing that the beating was a deliberate attempt to incite racial unrest.

RHESUS FACTOR AND SIGNIFICANCE/COMPATIBILITY IN PREGNANCYTSPOT HEALTH NG | 2023-03-18216 Health
Hello T-Fans,
Rhesus Factor: A protein found on the surface of red blood cells that can be either positive (+) or negative (-).
Rh factor (or Rhesus factor) is a type of protein on the outside or surface of your red blood cells. You inherit the protein, which means you get your Rh factor from your biological parents. If you have the protein, you’re Rh-positive. If you don’t have the protein, you’re Rh-negative. The majority of people, about 85%, are Rh-positive.
Significance In Childbirth: During childbirth, if the mother has a rhesus negative (-) blood type and the baby has a rhesus positive (+) blood type, the mother's body may produce antibodies against the baby's blood, leading to hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN). HDN can cause anemia, jaundice, and other serious health conditions. It can also be fatal. To prevent this, pregnant women with rhesus negative blood should receive a rhesus immune globulin injection during their pregnancy.
To prevent this, women who are Rh negative are tested during their pregnancy to determine if their baby is Rh positive. If the baby is Rh positive, the mother is given a dose of a medication called Rh immune globulin during the pregnancy and after delivery. This medication prevents the mother's body from developing antibodies against the baby's red blood cells.
COMMON BLOOD TYPES
The protein on the surface of your red blood cells determines your blood type. Each blood type also has a positive or negative factor. The positive or negative next to the blood type is your Rh factor. Your Rh factor doesn’t cause problems or hurt your health in any way. It only becomes important when blood types are mixed together, like during pregnancy and childbirth.
The most common blood types are:
A positive.
A negative.
B positive.
B negative.
O positive.
O negative.
WHY IS RH FACTOR IMPORTANT?
Your Rh factor doesn’t affect your overall health, but it’s important to know your Rh status if you’re pregnant.
SYMPTOMS AND CAUSES
What Causes Rh Incompatibility?
Rh incompatibility occurs when a person who’s Rh-negative becomes pregnant with a fetus with Rh-positive blood. With Rh incompatibility, your immune system reacts to this difference (known as incompatibility) and creates antibodies. These antibodies drive an immune system attack against the fetus’s red blood cells, which your body thinks are foreign objects. This is called Rh sensitization. Your pregnancy care provider can prevent this from happening by giving you a shot (injection) of immune globulin.
During pregnancy, you don’t share blood with the fetus you’re carrying. However, a small amount of blood from the fetus can mix with your blood during labor and delivery (either vaginal or cesarean). It can also happen during:
Tests like amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling (CVS).
Any type of vaginal bleeding during pregnancy.
Injury or trauma to your abdomen.
Early pregnancy complications like miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy.
After external cephalic version (ECV), a maneuver to turn a breech baby.
WHEN IS THE FETUS AT RISK?
Complications don’t usually happen during a person’s first pregnancy. This is because it’s unlikely that your blood will mix with the fetus’s blood until delivery, which means antibodies won’t form until after the fetus is born. However, your provider still tests your Rh factor even if it’s your first pregnancy.
Rh incompatibility becomes a problem if you become pregnant a second time and have another Rh-positive fetus. In this case, your body will produce antibodies. These antibodies put the second fetus at risk for complications. Once your body realizes the fetus is Rh-positive, antibodies can pass into the fetus’s blood and attack its red blood cells. This is called Rh disease. Rh disease can be life-threatening for the fetus.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTS
What Is The Rh Factor Test?
The Rh factor test is a simple blood test (called a type and screen) that every pregnant person gets in the first trimester of pregnancy (usually at your first prenatal appointment). The Rh factor test determines your Rh factor. This is important during pregnancy because if you’re Rh-negative and the fetus is Rh-positive, you have a condition called Rh factor incompatibility.
HOW IS RH INCOMPATIBILITY DIAGNOSED?
A blood test diagnoses Rh incompatibility. If you become pregnant, your obstetrician will test you to determine if you’re Rh-negative. If you’re Rh-positive, nothing else happens.
If you’re Rh-negative and your antibody screen is negative, your provider will give you Rh immune globulin to prevent antibody formation. You’ll typically get this around 28 weeks of pregnancy and then again within 72 hours of delivery if the fetus is Rh-positive. You may get a dose in early pregnancy if your provider believes your blood has mixed with the fetus’s blood.
MANAGEMENT AND TREATMENT
Rh immune globulin (RhIg or RhoGAM®) is a medication that stops your body from making Rh antibodies. It’s only helpful if your body hasn’t already made Rh antibodies. You receive it as a shot (injection). Rh immunoglobulin shots are usually very successful in treating Rh-incompatibility during pregnancy. Detecting Rh incompatibility early in pregnancy is the best way to prevent serious complications.
If your body already has Rh antibodies, the fetus is at risk for Rh disease. Since Rh immune globulin won’t be helpful, the best treatment is close monitoring for the remainder of your pregnancy. There’s a small chance your provider will want to deliver early, but this depends on how severe the fetus’s Rh disease is.
WHAT COMPLICATIONS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH Rh INCOMPATIBILITY?
Rh incompatibility doesn’t affect the pregnant person. In a fetus, it can cause hemolytic anemia. Hemolytic anemia destroys the fetus’s red blood cells faster than it can replace them.
The effects of Rh incompatibility can range from mild to severe. These effects may also include:
Jaundice.
Liver failure.
Heart failure.
Stillbirth.
For mild side effects, the fetus may not need any treatment. Most fetuses recover fully if they have a mild case of Rh disease.
For severe cases, the fetus may receive a blood transfusion. This procedure helps replace its red blood cells. Providers can use special lights to help reduce bilirubin levels in fetuses that have jaundice. You may need to give birth early to avoid serious complications of anemia.
Since the development of Rh immune globulin injections, Rh disease occurs infrequently.
WHAT HAPPENS IF ANTIBODIES DEVELOP?
Treatment with Rh immune globulin won’t help if an Rh-negative person has already made antibodies. This is why it’s important to know your Rh factor and get treatment as soon as possible.
PREVENTION
Can Rh incompatibility be prevented?
Because Rh factor is genetic, it’s not possible to choose which Rh type the fetus has. The best prevention is to find out your Rh factor.
OUTLOOK / PROGNOSIS
What is the outlook for a pregnant person with Rh-negative blood?
If you’re Rh-negative, getting RhIg injections after every possible contact with Rh-positive blood between you and the fetus reduces the risk of them getting Rh disease. Rh incompatibility doesn’t affect your health, only the fetus’s health.
Finding out if you have Rh factor incompatibility early will make it so that your provider can give you Rhlg injections. It’s the best way to ensure the fetus stays healthy.
In summary, the Rhesus factor is a protein found on the surface of red blood cells and its significance in childbirth is related to the compatibility of a mother's blood and her unborn baby's blood. If the mother and baby's Rh factors are not compatible, the mother's body may develop antibodies that attack the baby's red blood cells, leading to a condition known as hemolytic disease of the newborn. To prevent this, women who are Rh negative are tested during their pregnancy to determine if their baby is Rh positive, and if so, the mother is given a dose of Rh immune globulin.
FINAL NOTE OF ADVICE
Knowing your Rh status is important during pregnancy (or before) because it can prevent potential complications. Luckily, your pregnancy care provider tests your blood to determine if you’re Rh-positive or Rh-negative early in pregnancy. Rh factor incompatibility only becomes an issue during pregnancy when you’re Rh-negative and the fetus is Rh-positive. Your provider treats Rh incompatibility with an injection of Rh immunoglobulin (RhIg). Try not to worry — your provider will keep a close eye on you and get you the treatment you need to prevent any complications.

THE UNDERGRADUATE MILLIONAIRE by CLEMENT OYINLOLAsirsmallz | 2023-03-16119 Stories
HELLO TFANS,
Oyinlola's "The Undergraduate Millionaire" explores the failure and success of the school system, especially in Nigeria. There exist different kind of intelligence in the human system, for example; Emotional Intelligence, Academic Intelligence etc, but the school curriculum only caters for the student's academic Intelligence,not putting into consideration our individual strength and weaknesses.
Talking about IQ(intelligence Quotient) and EQ(Emotional Quotient).
IQ defines how well you deal with the knowledge of the world, quantitative reasoning and visual analysis. While, EQ on the other hand talks about how you process, react and control emotions when relating to other people.
Streaming down to our educational system in the country, our government has little or no plan in giving us a standard Education that can be recognized in the outside world. Our universities lack the needed infrastructure to give adequate knowledge and experience to an average undergraduate and 98% of students graduate not fully aware and ready for the outside world.
In a bid to Break the jinx of poverty, one must prepare to learn not only academic skills but skills to run a successful business in a country like Nigeria.
Learn the saving culture, and also the knowledge of making your savings work for you through investment. Don't ignore the little things and Cash that you handle, they amount to something at the end of the day.
Cheers to having a successful financial independence journey.

UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE ROUND OF 16 SECOND LEG WRAPJoshuaboy | 2023-03-16210 Football
HELLO T-FANS,
The Round of 16 has concluded, leaving only eight teams as potential winners of the prestigious 2022–23 UEFA Champions League title.
Many of Europe's heavy hitters, including the reigning champions of England, Spain, Italy, and Germany, are still in the running. For the first time since 2006, three of the eight quarterfinalists will be made up of Italian teams.
On Tuesday, Inter Milan and Manchester City joined the four teams that had already progresed to the quarter final last week.Inter Milan survived a late onslaught of pressure at Porto to escape with a 0-0 draw that advanced them 1-0 on aggregate nto the quarterfinals of the Champions League for the first time in more than ten years. Porto has now lost the first leg of seven of its eight two-legged UEFA Champions League knockout matches, progressing from this position just against Roma in 2018–19.
Romelu Lukaku's late first leg goal was ultimately the decisive strike in the tie as the two sides played out a goalless draw at the Estadio do Dragao. The Italians valiantly held on as Porto threw all they had at them in stoppage time, despite an absolutely astounding and breathless climax to the game.
With a resounding 7-0 victory over RB Leipzig, Manchester City advanced to to the Champions League quarterfinals.
Five goals from Erling Haaland sealed a score that in no way undervalued City.His first of the night came from the penalty spot, a harsh handball decision going against Benjamin Henrichs following a VAR check. Only 77 seconds after scoring his first goal, Haaland was there to pick up and head home the rebound after Kevin De Bruyne sent a long-range shot crashing against the bar. Haaland completed his hat-trick by bundling home from a corner with the final kick of the first half, pouncing into action after Ruben Dias' header had trickled across the goal-line.
After the break, the hosts kept up their high intensity, and four minutes into the second half, Ilkay Gundogan added a fourth goal with a low shot from the edge of the box. Prior to City's next round of jubilation, four more minutes had elapsed. Once more, it was Haaland who slammed home from a corner to tie the team's all-time season scoring record with 38. He then broke the record almost immediately by tucking in another rebound to score his fifth goal of the night.
At the hour mark, Guardiola showed mercy by removing Haaland, which caused the intensity of the game to drop. Leipzig were already daydreaming about the flight home while City were content to possess the ball. A seventh goal was added, and it was the best of the bunch. De Bruyne finished off an absolutely outstanding performance by curling in a beautiful long-range shot in the last seconds. If Pep Guardiola hadn't pulled his star players early, the home team would have been even more dominant and definitely scored more goals.
Napoli beat Eintracht Frankfurt 3-0 on Wednesday to reach the Champions League quarter-finals for the first time in the club's history. Victor Osimhen continued his impressive scoring streak with goals in each half and Piotr Zielinski converted a penalty in the second half as Napoli won 5-0 on aggregate
Osimhen's excellent header just before halftime gave Napoli the advantage they needed to move on after a solid victory in Germany.After the restart of the second half, a close-range finish by Osimhen virtually ensured safe passage before Zielinksi won and converted a penalty kick.
Following Napoli's progression, and along with Inter and Milan, this is the first time that as many as three Italian teams have qualified for the quarter-finals in a UEFA Champions League campaign since 2005-06 (Inter, Milan and Juventus).
Real Madrid finished the job they started at Anfield last month by securing a 1-0 win at the Bernabeu on Wednesday night to progress to the quarter-finals of the Champions League 6-2 on aggregate. Los Blancos were the better team on the night and Karim Benzema’s 19th goal of the season in the closing stages added to the 5-2 aggregate lead they had built from the first leg.
Real Madrid have now eliminated Liverpool from the Champions League in each of the last three seasons (2020-21 quarter-final, 2021-22 final, 2022-23 last-16). It's just the second time that a side has been eliminated in three consecutive seasons all by the same opponent, after Atletico Madrid, also by Real Madrid (run of four from 2013-14 to 2016-17).
The quarter-finalists

INTERNET OF THINGS & ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: THE INTERCONNECTIONLil'Jay | 2023-03-16037 Science
Hello T-Fans,
The world today is moving forward with digitalization. In this time period, people started to become interested in new developments like artificial intelligence, machine learning, the internet of things, and data analytics technologies. People are attempting to use machines and other methods to make their job easier. Another notion that emerged from the aforementioned trends is the autonomous idea. IoT and AI were extensively used in the healthcare, agricultural, and business sectors. As a result, apps that connect AI and IoT are becoming increasingly popular these days. Additionally, many sectors switch from manual or electrical systems to IoT-based ones that are more accurate and manageable than before. Because artificial intelligence (AI) is used to power these systems, their reliability is also much higher than it was previously. As a result, humans no longer need to focus on a variety of duties because AI-powered Internet of Things systems are taking care of everything.
What is Internet of Things (IOT)?
Instead of a network of individuals, IoT is one of devices. Applications for the Internet of Things (IoT) are typically created using hardware that detects circumstances in the real world and then initiates responses. The answer frequently entails actions that have an impact on reality. A sensor that, when triggered, turns on some lights is a simple example, but many IoT applications need more complex rules to connect triggers and actions.
IoT is being adopted in almost all sectors and areas due to the enhanced response, monitoring, and analytical capabilities of these devices. This opens doors to endless applications and more employment opportunities in the technological sector.
IoT is widely used in smart homes, watches, cars, smart grids, smart cities, smart healthcare, smart farming, and other applications to reduce the strain on people.
What is Artificial Intelligence (AI)?
John McCarthy gave the first definition of artificial intelligence in the 1950s, stating that it is the science and engineering of creating intelligent computers. AI is based on sophisticated mathematical operations and programs.
Smartphones, vehicles, social media apps, video games, banks, and surveillance systems, to name a few, all incorporate AI.
Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to a class of applications that interpret situations and reach decisions in a manner comparable to how people react to their senses, but without needing direct human involvement.
Capabilities of AI
- Generalized learning, which refers to a machine's capacity to adjust to a foreign environment, function well, and still produce the desired results.
- Reasoning is the capacity to draw conclusions or give meaning to premises or events.
- One could argue that the ability to solve problems is the only justification for creating intelligent robots. It is intelligent when it can offer thoughtful ideas that work.
The Interconnection Between Artificial Intelligence and Internet of things
The Internet of Things and artificial intelligence have combined to create intelligent devices that encourage intelligent behavior and support decision-making with little to no human inference. AI enables devices to learn from their data and experience, whereas IoT provides a platform for device interaction.
The interaction of AI and IoT has the potential to reshape entire sectors of the economy. Both specialists and the general public profit from the convergence of these ground-breaking streams. The IBM Global C-Suite Study program claims that C-Suite leaders start to reinvent their companies through the digitalization of interaction and communications. IoT has been very helpful in gathering a lot of the data sent by connected devices, but because there is so much of it, it is complicated and challenging to handle.
Effective analysis is required for an IoT gadget to operate successfully, and artificial intelligence is used to accomplish this. Artificial intelligence gains the ability to unlock responses that give both creativity and context to fuel intelligent actions as IoT processes data. Businesses benefit from the advantage of making informed choices based on the assumption that AI can analyze data retrieved from the sensors.
The Internet of Things (IoT) makes device connections easier and generates a lot of data about the intended process. IoT-enabled gadget data is analyzed by AI to find patterns, process behaviors, and make decisions based on those patterns.
AI-enabled IoT develops intelligent devices that mimic human behavior and assist in making decisions with little to no human input. AI enables devices to learn from their data and experience, whereas IoT works with devices interacting over the internet.
IoT and AI are both potent tools on their own. The term AIoT, which stands for Artificial Intelligence of Things, is created by fusing AI and IoT. IoT gadgets can be compared to a system's digital nervous system in this instance, whereas AI serves as the system's brain.
With IoT, real-world processes are automated using computer tools, and as with all automation duties, less direct human involvement is anticipated. IoT aims to lessen human labor, but it doesn't do away with the need for human judgment and decision-making. That's where AI can help, greatly enhancing the IoT system.

WHY MOST CAMPUS RELATIONSHIPS FAILPresidentSan | 2023-03-15242 Campus
Hello-Tfans
This is an important issue we need to take to the town hall for discourse. Can you recall your first ever relationship on campus, that guy or girl that was the apple of your eye and the sugar in your tea, until the apple got eaten by rats and the tea cup fell off the table.Remember how you vowed to never fall in love on campus again, but alas there was that stubborn boy or that girl you just could not get over. But again things were bound to fall apart.
One lyrics that come to at this pointis “las las, e don cast, na everybody go chop breakfast…” If you’re yet to be served, just know it’s warming on fire.
Anyway, there are love birds that would still hold on even amidst the storm of campus relationships, but they are rare, like the blue moon, remember the last time you saw an eclipse.
So let’s get down to it, what are the main reasons why most campus relationships eventually hit the iceberg.
1- No sense of long term commitment: Most campus relationships begin with ridiculous reasons. Most of these pseudo couples would shy away from answering any question that has to do with long term commitments. Everyone just want to have a fun time on campus. Guys want to go on an escapade with as much lady as they find alluring, and the ladies won’t mind mingling with multiple partners either. It’s just a game and games are bound to end favoring one part over the other, except in a draw, where both party leave with grudges.
2- Most students are adults with adolescent minds- Everyone feels they know what’s best for them and are capable of making the right decisions, but at the end we all still have remnant of that adolescent blood in us. That’s why one moment you are convinced you’ve found a life partner and the next you are debating whether you saw the wrong vision. Your judgement of what’s right and wrong is biased towards the fulfillment of some hormonal needs.
3- Billing: Enough of the grammar, this is another major storm in the sea of campus relationships. Most guys are broke, forget the forming. Except for the yahoo boys and a few privileged fellows, most guys on campus are struggling to make ends meet. So once the billing gets beyond capacity, they find a silly reason to capsize the ship or quickly get what they want before dropping the reins.
4- Time and Distance: Sometimes you sincerely want to commit yourself to a relationship, but upon graduation, life decides to come in between. You are drifted to another place and bothered by the realities of things, so much your relationship becomes secondary and commitment becomes an issue.
5- Friends with benefits: Some relationships are well defined from the beginning. Both sides know marriage is outside of the equation. All they want is a fulfillment of desires, and after all that is done, the curtain can be drawn to a close. As a guy, you know those hostel gists of , friends exchanging contacts of girls they've hung out with, for others to enjoy the forbidden fruit as well.
I know there are many more reasons, but all these have been identified to be the major culprit. What other reasons do you know of, and which of this resonates with you.

Best Ad Blockers For 2023CARLCARE NG | 2023-03-15120 Carlcare
Hello T-Fans,
Ads are part of the life wire of businesses as they need to be out there for potential clients to see their products and then subscribe to their platforms and eventually purchase their products. As an android user, these ads can just pop up on your screen, unneeded and it can be very annoying, especially when you are trying to get a task done. This begs to ask the question, “why are these ads popping up on my phone?
WHY DO ADS POP-UP ON ANDROID SMARTPHONES?
It is worthy of note that google permits apps to show ads so far as they comply with the google play policy and the ads are displayed within the app that serves the ads.
This means that there are apps that are downloaded from google playstore that display ads while in operation.
Also, because of the presence of some of the apps on your phone, some ads get to pop up on your home screen. And this is primarily because of an algorithm built around what has been observed about your interests. If you notice, there are some apps that would require that you grant them permission to some of your system apps like your camera, contacts, messages, and browsers. This is because they use bots to monitor how you use some of these apps and then google allows ads to pop up based on what you frequently search for on your phone.
Honestly, as an android user, it is very much understandable that the display of these ads can be very upsetting because they pose huge distractions that hinder you from performing tasks on your android device.
The next possible question you could ask is, “since you understand how upsetting it is, how then can I block these ads?”
And this is our response, “you need an ad blocker!"
WHAT IS AN AD BLOCKER?
An ad blocker is simply a third-party app that helps you prevent ads from popping up on your screen just so that you can have lesser distractions when working on your android device.
