Assessing some1's personality based on his or her blood type is popular in some countries. In Japan, for example, it is not unusual for some to ask, "What's ur blood type?" as a conversation starter. Advocates of this idea claim that people with type A blood are calm, responsible and suspicious; those with type B blood are open-hearted, moody, easily deceived; and so forth. It is also asserted that a person of one blood type may find it difficult or easy to get along with someone of another blood type. Based on this concept, some consider blood type to be an important factor when grouping students in schools, selecting executives at companies, or even choosing mates. Is there any proof that our blood type really determines our personality? Are there any religious teachings that touch on this matter ![]() |

DJ Khaled, 37, real name Khaled bin Abdul Khaled, shared a video on MTV last week asking for Minaj's hand in marriage with a gargantuan ring. "I want to be honest with you. I love you. I like you. I want you to be mine. I'm here at MTV because it's a worldwide network and the only reason why I'm not telling you face-to-face is 'cause I understand that you're busy," the Miami-based radio host said in the video. DJ Khaled later told Us Weekly that the proposal was totally legit. "I want to marry her! I was serious," he said. "She can take her time and think about it. At least she knows how I feel now." However, he also needed to shut down rumors that the rapper had filed a restraining order against him. "Y'all know better than that they don't put restraining orders on bosses I'm the DON U witnessing greatness I'm the best that ever did it! JUS KNOW! #sufferingfromsuccess," he wrote tuesday on Instagram. |

Have you ever noticed that when the moon is directly on the horizon it appears to be a lot closer and larger? Well, it’s not. What’s happening is actually something that your brain does all the time. Think about what happens when you see one of your friends on the horizon. Although they appear to be really small your brain doesn’t actually interpret them as being that tiny. Something similar is going on with regards to the moon. Known as the Ponzo illusion, your brain inflates the size of the moon to make it appear larger than it really is. Don’t believe it? Next time you’re looking at an oversized moon block everything else out with your hands and watch it shrink. |

Humans have been trying to figure out the meanings of their dreams since the beginning of time. In the past, dreams have been interpreted as omens of the future, representations of reality, and even divine messages from the gods. Even though we think of dreams today in more scientific terms, a lot of us are still fascinated by these enigmatic scenes that take place in our minds. To subdue your curiosity, here are 25 facts about dreams that won’t put you to sleep. 25 6 Whole Years The average human spends six years of his or her life dreaming. 24 Up for Interpretation The ancient Romans submitted their significant or unusual dreams to the Senate for interpretation. 23 Ancient Artifact The Beatty Papyrus is the oldest dream dictionary in existence. It was written around 1350 B.C. and discovered near Thebes. 22 Sibling Rivalry Birth order influences the role of aggression in dreams. Men generally dream about more violent subjects than women, yet first-born females tend to have more aggressive characters in their dreams. On the other hand, first-born males see themselves in a more positive light than their younger male siblings. 21 It’s Not All Black and White People who grew up watching black-and-white television as children tend to have more monochrome dreams than children who grew up watching color television. 20 Dreaming in the Dark Visually impaired people dream too. Those who lost their sight later in life can see visual images in their dreams. However, dreams don’t have to be visual. Blind people who don’t dream visually can experience dreams through sound, smell, and touch. 19 Familiar Faces We can only dream of faces of real people we have encountered, but we might not remember because people usually see hundreds of faces in a single day. 18 Premonition Between 18 and 38 percent of people say they have experienced at least one precognitive dream and 70 percent have experienced déjà vu. 17 Daydream Believer According to psychologists, daydreaming may be related to dreams that occur during sleep. However, they involve different mental processes. 16 Forget About It Within five minutes of waking, half of the average person’s dream is forgotten, while 90 percent is forgotten in just 10 minutes. However, people are more likely to remember their dreams if they’re awakened during the REM stage. 15 Human Nature Dreams of unpreparedness, flying, falling, and public humiliation arise from common human anxieties and seem to transcend cultural and socio- economic boundaries. 14 Not “Sew” Bad Inventor of the sewing machine Elias Howe said the cannibals who chased him in his nightmares held spears that looked like the needle he then designed. I guess nightmares aren’t always bad. 13 Free Falling Falling dreams, which affect many mammals, typically occur in the early stages of sleep. The muscle spasms experienced during these dreams are called myoclonic jerks. 12 Tiny Dreamers Even fetuses in the womb dream despite the lack of visual stimuli. Scientists suggest their dreams are composed of sound and touch sensations. 11 Temporary, Yet Terrifying Sleep paralysis, a phenomenon experienced by nearly 40 percent of the population, occurs when a sleeper awakens, recognizes his or her surroundings, and is unable to move for as long as one minute. 10 It’s a Man’s World Around 70 percent of the characters in men’s dream are other men, whereas a fairly equal amount of men and women appear in women’s dreams. 9 Where Dreams Are Made Plato believed dreams originate in the organs of the belly. He described the liver as the biological seat of dreams. 8 Sleep Deprivation Research involving students suggest waking someone up at the beginning of the REM stage of sleep can cause irritability, hallucinations, and eventually lead to psychosis. 7 Dreams as a Device William Shakespeare used dreams to help develop characters and advance the plot in his plays. 6 Divine Dreams The Greeks regarded dreams as messages from the gods in ancient Greece and would sometimes sleep in sacred places to conjure significant dreams. 5 Childhood Dreams Children tend to have shorter dreams than adults and as many as 40 percent of them are nightmares. Scientists believe this is because dreams act as a coping mechanism. 4 Animals Dream Too Studies have revealed that animals, mammals in particular, dream just like humans. 3 Your Surroundings Matter Known as dream incorporation, while you are sleeping you will include or “incorporate” sounds and stimuli in your surrounding into your dream. For example, if your brother is playing a loud guitar riff next door you may begin to dream that you are at a concert. 2 Etymology Lesson The word “dream” is most likely related to the West Germanic draugmus, meaning deception, illusion, or phantom. 1 Selfless Toddlers do not appear in their own dreams until the age of 3 or 4. |

Governor Akpabio of Akwa Ibom seeks lawmakers’ approval for N80bn loan. Mr. Akpabio wants to use the loan to offset another loan. The controversialAkwa Ibom StateGovernor,Godswill Akpabio, on Thursday sought the House of Assembly’s approval for the State Government to obtain a loan of N80 billion from the bank. This is contained in a letter sent by the governor and read by the Clerk of the Assembly, Mandu Umoren, at the floor of the house. M. Akpabio said that the loan would be used to offset the loan collected fromUnited Bank for Africa Plc. (UBA) in 2012. “I, hereby, request for your speedy consideration and approval of the house of my request to borrow $500 million dollars (about N80 billion) from the Standard Chartered Bank International. “The proceeds of this loan facility will be utilised to offset all outstanding loan commitment of the State Government to UBA Plc. “This will drastically reduce the applicable interest that government will have paid on the facility from UBA Plc which runs into billions of naira,” he said. The governor further said that the loan from UBA attracted interest rate of 18.5 per cent, while standard chartered bank international loan rate is 8.19 per cent. It would be recalled that the house on May 2012 approved the borrowing of N50 billion to execute ongoing infrastructure development in the state. The Speaker, Samuel Ikon, directed that the letter be referred to the House Committee on Appropriation and Finance, for in depth work and report back to the house as soon as possible. Mr. Akpabio has been in the news for his seemingly extravagant spending of public funds for private and political purposes. The governor is notorious for dashing millions of naira as gifts to individuals despite the level of poverty and unemployment in the state. His party, thePeoples Democratic Party, has however, defended him saying he is not a spendthrift but a benevolent and kind hearted governor.
