This Is Why Runaway Truck Ramps Are So Important

While they may be a bit of an eyesore, runaway truck ramps are extremely important in limiting the damage caused by out-of-control trucks.

Found around the world, the gravel filled ramps are most commonly found on the sides of motorways and near corners which can catch truckers off guard.

If you've ever wondered just how effective these gravel traps can be, then watch in awe as one brings a massive semi to a stop in just a few hundred feet.

Captured on a CCTV camera, a big rig can be seen  approaching a right hand bend far too hot. Unable to shed enough speed by braking around the turn, the driver makes the split-second decision to veer off into the runaway truck ramp.

As the truck hits the gravel, it is slowed down almost immediately and begins to fishtail before smashing into the concrete wall adjacent to the ramp. Remarkably, the truck didn't roll and the driver doesn't appear to have been injured.

Now if there wasn't such a ramp at this corner, a trail of devastation could have been left if the truck were to crash and roll on the busy motorway, putting the lives of dozens of other motorists at risk.

Nigerian Man who wanted to meet all his 5K FB followers, gets replies from Mark Zuckerbeberg, as he plans to meet him in Lagos

 

Back in May, LIB reported  about an Abuja based man, Gaius Chibueze, who said he wants to make history by being the first (and probably the only) person in the world to meet all his 5000 Facebook followers one-on-one (read here). Gauis then claimed he was determined to achieve this feat and had a roaster for the dates his followers can meet him in different states.

After news broke that Mark Zuckerberg had arrived in Lagos yesterday, Gaius shared a screenshot of a supposed chat he had via Facebook with him, where he requested for a one-one-one meet.
Although the billionaire Facebook founder didn't agree at first due to his busy schedule, he eventually gave a slight nod of approval when Gaius promised to get 100,000k shares to raise awareness on the social media site.

However, Gaius hopped on a night bus and should have arrived Lagos by now. The 100k shares hasn't also been achieved yet.

Reviews Tesla Gets Extension After Missing NHTSA Deadline For Autopilot Death Investigation

Tesla has been granted a one week extension by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration after missing a deadline for an information request relating to the Model S Autopilot death.

Joshua Brown died when his Model S crashed into a trailer truck after the Autopilot system failed to notice the white colored truck against the brightly-lit sky.

On July 8, the NHTSA sent an information request to Tesla to provide details about the company's alleged defects of the self-driving system's Forward Collision Warning and Automatic Braking systems.

Business Insider reports Tesla was given until August 26 to submit this information but failed to do so. It now has until September 2 to complete the request.

Missing deadlines is nothing new for the electric automaker. In fact, it's become rather notorious for it having delayed the launches of numerous models/variants in recent years.

Man City goalkeeper Hart completes his move to Torino

Man City transfer deadline news: The England keeper will make his Serie A debut a week on Sunday at Atalanta after tying up the deal.

 Hart poses with a Torino fan in Turin

Joe Hart has completed a season's loan to Torino and is travelling back to join up with the England squad again.

The out-of-favour Manchester City keeper flew out to Turin yesterday for a medical and to complete the deal, after being given special permission by the FA to leave England's training camp.

The deal is expected to see City continue to pay a large slice of his wages.

Hart was replaced in the City team by Willy Caballero in a shock move by manager Pep Guardiola at the start of the season, the new boss making it plain he wanted a keeper with better footwork.

And last week Guardiola moved for a more permanent replacement by picking up Claudio Bravo from Barcelona for £13.75million.

Bravo is lined up for his City debut in the Manchester derby a week on Saturday, while Hart is expected to make his Torino debut the following day at Atalanta.

FG Launches School-to-Work Scheme

By Bassey Inyang in Calabar

The Federal Government has launched the School-to-Work Scheme which  it noted, was designed to prepare children for after school employment

Launching the programme facilitated by the Federal Government under the National Directorate of Employment (NDE),in Calabar on Thursday evening, the Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr. Chris Ngige, said the scheme would provide the needed skills for young people in school for self-employment after they would have graduated from secondary school.

“It is pertinent to note that the STWS is aimed at introducing the concept of skills acquisition training very early to our youths. Secondary school students from JSS2 to JSS3 have been selected to participate in the pilot phase simultaneously running in the following states: Cross River, Kogi, Anambra, Bauchi, Katsina and Ondo states.

“This will enable them to acquire skills that will change their future in the absence of white collar jobs,” Ngige said.

The minister said the School-to-Work programme curriculum has been designed to deliver vocational, agricultural, entrepreneurial and life skill training to the trainees within two months vacation period.

Ngige said those who need up-skilling would be assisted during the next long vacation of the following year.

“I am convinced that the School-to-Work Scheme when fully implemented would have created a new army of young responsible Nigerians who are equiiped with 21st century skills and are very willing and prepared to take not just their own destinies in their hands, but that of this great country. “Their attitude to work, nation building and wealth creation would have been properly shaped to fully align with the change agenda of the APC-led Government at the centre,”
Ngige said.
