The secret behind love at first glance
in love with someone or get attracted to someone at the very first
look. Find out the real secret behind the attraction.
All our lives, we're been told not to judge a book by the cover. We've
been told that people shouldn't be judged until we know them well
enough. These words may be told to you by the wisest and the greyest,
but that still can't stop you from going ahead and judging people by
their faces.
And it's not just you. Even the ones who told you not to do the
judging can't help but judge people at first glance.
So what do we call them? Hypocrites? Or perhaps, we should just blame our genes.
The first glance
How many times have you met someone and felt a sudden rush of
emotions, good or bad? There may have been times when you felt
uncomfortable hanging around someone new, and you couldn't wait to get
out of the room.
It may be your first date with a very cute guy or girl, but at times,
we just can't help it when our involuntary genes decide to kick in and
make the plans for us on the very first look.
The science behind the first look
Psychologists have found that people respond intuitively to faces so
rapidly that our reasoning minds may not have time to influence the
reaction. It's almost like an involuntary shiver.
We just can't rationalize our decision, and so we pretend to be very
intellectual and blame it our sharp instincts. These 'instincts' help
us choose the friends we would be most comfortable with, and also
helps us in choosing the right mate.
You've obviously known there was always something more than just good
looks that attracted you to your sweet heart, didn't you?
Facial features and the first glance
The link between facial features and character may not exist in reality.
Seriously, someone who looks bad doesn't necessarily have to be a bad
person, do they? But this fact doesn't stop our minds from sizing
other people in the first glance.
It may not be all about beauty and appearances, but we tend to decide
very quickly whether a person has many of therequirements we feel are
rather important to the instinctive side of us, such as like ability
and warmth, even though we may not have exchanged a single word with
them.

“Ronaldo and Mourinho will not join PSG” – Ancelotti
Ronaldo and Jose Mourinho, will not be joining Paris Saint Germain
next season .
It is being reported that Ronaldo is unhappy in Madrid and has
rejected a new contract. It is also understood that the billionaire
backed PSG and former club, Manchester United, were monitoring the
situation.
Mourinho has also come under pressure at the club and things turned on
its head, after he dropped Iker Casillas in the 3-2 loss to Malaga.
However, Ancelotti has said none of the Portuguese men will be in
Ligue 1 next term.
"There is no chance he will come here," Ancelotti told La Stampa.
"Money is not enough to tempt him, the determining factor is the will
of the club he plays for.
"He is a great talent who needs to play well all the time. I like
coaching great players like him, and I have several in my squad.
"What I've read in the newspapers [about Cristiano joining PSG] makes
no sense. We have 30 players now that Lucas Moura has joined and I
don't need anymore."
Speaking about Mourinho, Ancelotti said: "I am very relaxed about it.
The person who said the club are after Mourinho and Cristiano is a
member of the Al-Thani family but he is not the owner, and I know the
owner is not thinking about that."

Covenant University expels 200 students for not attending Church service
while the Chancellor was being driven past, he noticed that students
were loitering at about the time they were supposed to be seated at
the chapel. He said that this apparently infuriated him and he
alighted from his car and chased students to the chapel with knocks.
"I saw him, alighted from his car and chased students to the chapel; I
quickly found my way to the hall. Not quite long after, I saw students
jumping in through the windows.
It was a big commotion. Even the chancellor was going after those who
jumped into the chapel. Later, he addressed the students saying he
was very disappointed by the behaviour that the students were not
seated 15 minutes before the service."
Another account had it that while the Education Secretary, Prof. Aize
Obayan was addressing the students, the students were murmuring, then
the Chancellor immediately took to the microphone and said: "if I
hear the voice of any student, the curse of the Lord shall fall upon
that one." The chapel immediately went dead silent.
Our source who was also late to the service stated that the Chancellor
later directed that those students who did not come to the service
would be purged out saying they did not belong to the school. Our
source stated that at the end of the service, he prayed for the
students in the hall.
Another source in the school hinted that at that point, the
Vice-chancellor pleaded on behalf of those who were absent but the
Chancellor insisted they must be purged from the school.
Our source told Saturday Vanguard that the Vice-Chancellor while
addressing the students announced that a search would be carried out
in all the halls and colleges to find out those who failed to attend
the departure service, advising them to wait behind.
Saturday Vanguard investigation revealed that out of the figure, about
126 were expelled for not attending the 'departure service', five
were thrown out for smoking marijuana, twenty-five final year students
and undisclosed number of lower level students were caught violating
rules bothering on the University's core values.
We also gathered that a few others were given four weeks suspension
for failure to sign the head count that was conducted a couple of
weeks earlier. Some of the students opined that failure to sign the
head count was even a greater offence which implied that the student
was not in the school at the time of the exercise but yet got a
four-week suspension.
The private university is known for its strict rules and discipline
such as not allowing the students to use mobile phones within the
school's premises, while it is mandatory for students to always bring
their bible to the chapel.
Parents react
A few parents who volunteered information spoke to us on conditionof
anonymity fearing that their children might be victimised in case the
issue was resolved amicably. One of them said with bitterness that
it is unacceptable, adding that the expulsion was not commensurate
with the offence deemed to have been committed. He urged the school
authorities to rescind its decision adding that the future of the
students is at stake.
"For me, it is not acceptable. These students were not given fair
hearing. Expulsion should not be a punishment for failure to attend
service. We all agree, it is a Christian school but failure to attend
church service could be due to a lot of reasons. I gathered that some
of the students even finished their exams about 5pm that day.
So, those people that finished at that time had barely three hours to
prepare for the service. But stampeding them to congregate for service
and then expelling those who did not come is a decision taken too far.
For me, if there was poor attendance, I think the authorities have a
responsibility. They have not been fair in putting the service so
close to the examination. Even God will not do that."
He however commended the Chancellor, Dr. Oyedepo on his vision towards
the education of Nigeria children especially when the government
institutions are failing, but urging him to tamper justice with mercy.
Another parent who was afraid of the press noted that he was still
studying the situation and would not want to comment but noted that
he was reliably informed that some group of parents made frantic
efforts to meet with the Chancellor on the issue but without success.
It was not clear the level of the efforts made. He further hinted that
some students have not told their parents about their expulsion, still
hoping that the issue would be resolved.
He lamented that his child had been having sleepless nights, going
through mental torture unjustifiably. "I agree that discipline must
be instilled in the students but it should not be aimed at destroying
the life of the students. Expulsion is too great a punishment for non
attendance of a departure service, without even a warning especially
when the students hitherto, had not been found wanting," he stated.
What the Student Handbook says
The Covenant University Core values border on Spirituality,
Possibility Mentality, Capacity Building, Integrity, Responsibility,
Diligence and Sacrifice. On the spirituality aspect, it states:
"The Christian ethos underguard our activities and conducts at all
time andevery student of Covenant University is expected to exhibit
character traits and dispositions of a Jesus-centered heritage.
The Jesus – factorcentered approach to all issues is non-negotiable
and central in the pursuit of our mandate in raising a new generation
of leaders and in the realization of the objectives of our purpose.
Prof Okojie stated this during a telephone conversation Saturday
Vanguard had with him a few days ago.
"I am not aware of any expulsion by Covenant University; I will ask
the school authorities. Right now, I am not in Abuja, I left Abuja
few days ago and until Ireturn to Abuja and find out details about the
matter, I cannot comment on it," he said.

Ronaldo to quit Real Madrid after refusing to sign new contract
refused to sign a new deal with Real Madrid and could be targeted for
a dramatic return to Manchester United.
The Portuguese striker has indicated he will snub Real's offer on the
table, and plans on seeing out the final two years on his contract. In
doing so, the Galacticos could stand to lose their £80million star for
free, in 2015.
The likelihood of anyone matching what Real snapped him up from Old
Trafford for in 2009 is slim, which could force a cut-price sale.
Paris Saint-Germain and their seemingly limitless transfer funds are
leading the race to sign the 27-year old, believed to be willing to
part with up to £90m.
It would break transfer world records if it went through, although
there are few indications this will happen.
The Ballon d'Or finalist has been offered a contract extension until
2018, increasing his salary by 50 per cent to a whopping £15m a year,
but reports of his increasing dissatisfaction in Madrid suggest he
will be ready to leave as soon as the end of the season.
Interestingly, despite scoring 23 goals in all competitions for the La
Liga champions, his image in Spain has taken a few dents.
He blamed those within the clubs for him feeling 'sad' in the capital,
claiming they have not provided enough support for him.
United meanwhile, will certainly keep close tabs on his touted movements.
Manager Sir Alex Ferguson has confessed he would 'love' to bring
Ronaldo back one day, but talk is already circulating of him returning
along with Madrid coach Jose Mourinho to succeed Fergie, in the coup
of the decade.
Ronaldo is still good friends with with former United team-mate
Patrice Evra, who said: "He's done amazing things in Madrid, but has
not received the respect he deserves."
Real defender Raul Albiol, however, hopes it is nothing but
speculation, before referring to lingering unrest at the Bernabeu.
'I don't know if he's going to renew his contract or not,' he told
reporters. 'But Cristiano Ronaldo is the best in the world and we want
him by our sideas long as possible.'

Thierry Henry returns to Arsenal training
could re-join the club for a third spell in January, on a loan deal.
The Gunners record goal-scorer is just keeping fit during the MLS
off-season, and Wenger remains coy on whether he will sign him next
month, to bolster his attacking unit.
"I've not lost interest in him," Wenger said.
"He's still coming to practice with us. We are very close
(personally), but at the moment I think he has had second spell at
the club that was very successful. You have to be cautious that it's
not one time too many.
"I have not completely ruled it out but I haven't spoken about it with
him at all."
