After users select a pre-designed template or create one with their look and feel, every posting entered on Blogger is published to the Blogger page on their Web site automatically. In early 2003, Blogger was acquired by Google. "

HOW TO HIDE FILES AND FOLDERS ON A BLACKBERRY DEVICE

To hide files on a blackberry is not a big deal. But people go extra miles, spend time, cause unnecessary problems like mistakenly locking up apps. To hide files is very easy and you don't need apps to do it. I'll take this in 2 ways, follow these simple steps :

METHOD 1: (Hiding from being visible in the media app):

1- Open media
2- Press menu and scroll to explore. Select
3- On the desired file, press menu and scroll to 'rename'

4- Rename the file extension e.g 'jpg' to anything you like. You can use 'jpgZ'
This way the phone asks you if you're sure of your action as it may 'render your file unusable'. Just choose 'ok'. By doing this, your files will not be visible in the media player.

METHOD 2: (Hiding from being visible in the file explorer):

To hide files and folders
1- Go to media
2- Scroll to the desired file or folder
3- Press 'menu', scroll to 'properties' and click
4- Scroll down and tick 'Hidden'
5- Close.
This method hides your files and folders from even the inbuilt explorer.
NOTE: Try to backup your file before trying this.

Here Are The Steps JAMB Is Taking To Curb Examination Malpractices - Ojerinde

THE Registrar, Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Professor ’Dibu Ojerinde Friday explained that the use of Computer Based Testing in Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) was aimed at checking examination malpractices in Nigeria.

The don gave the reason while delivering a lecture entitled ‘Classical Test Theory (CTT) versus Item Response Theory (IRT): An evaluation of the comparability of item analysis results’ at the Instituteof education, University of Ibadan, Ibadan.

He said: “I introduced Computed Based Testing (CBT) because I thinkwe can curb examination malpractices”. Another reason for the initiative, according to him, was the need to go the way of the world.

”Everybody is going technological and if Nigeria decided not to join, I’m sorry we will be left behind, so we should do CBT. It is the answerto exam malpractices,”he clarified.

Professor Ojerinde further said, “This year, we used 98 vehicles to carry question papers from Abuja to all parts of the country. Consider the danger, the risk, the life, enough is enough”.

He assured that the period of carrying question papers to centres from one end to another was over.

Ojerinde said, “In three minutes, we could send our questions from Abuja to wherever is going to be. We’re going to do it in UK, Jedda and anywhere throughout the world. I’ve not seen any other examination body in Africa that has done what we have done in JAMB on CBT.”

He admonished that attention should be focused on development of the child instead of the examination adding, “let us now look at the kids who are doing the examination and let us measure their abilities rather than measuring the ability of the test.”
