Benefits of Vocational Education - Chimezie Henry Mmaduako

Vocational Education refers to a system or course of study which prepares individuals for jobs that are based on manual or practical activities. Vocational Education is traditionally non-academic in nature and is totally related to a specific trade, occupation or vocation. Because it is Vocation based, it is called Vocational Education. Until recently i.e until the end of the twentieth century, the aim of vocational education was to focus on specific trades such as automobile mechanic or welder and was therefore associated with the activities of lower social classes. Because of this, it attracted a level of stigma. Vocational education, in fact, is closely related to the age-old apprenticeship system of learning.

But with the development of economies worldwide, the labour market became more specialized. The demand for higher levels of skill both in government and business sector started increasing. This lead to the further development of vocational education through publicly funded training organizations and subsidized apprenticeship or traineeship initiatives for businesses. At the post-secondary level vocational education is typically provided by an institute of technology, or by a local community college. Vocational education has also diversified over the 20th century. Demand for Vocational Professionals is required more than ever in various industries such as retail, tourism, information technology, funeral services and cosmetics, as well as in the traditional crafts and cottage industries.

Vocational education prepares an individual for a job and not college. While most colleges will accept vocational education students, they tend to be limited because most colleges lack proper courses. Vocational education is a multifaceted one as it tends to focus around several careers which include auto repair, woodworking, carpentry, blacksmith, cosmetology, and other fields. There are many vocational schools across the country which provide the students to gain valuable hands-on experience.

How is Vocational Education Beneficial?

• Vocational Education helps people in the better performance of their jobs as they acquire a great learning experience. Working professionals get a chance to hone their skills while making money.
• Vocational education and training is a sort of introduction as it gets employees ready for the workplace which comes in handy while performing various tasks.
• Due to the nature of the skills it imparts, a student doesn't consider it a futility as compared to academic education.
• Vocational Education as the term itself denotes the students are specialised and therefore they have more chances of employment as compared to others.
• Many students who are in a dilemma whether they should attend college or not, Vocational education really opens a completely new door.
• It makes an individual a responsible and independent whereas those who study regular courses lack in this sphere.
• The career of one's own choice is one of the major benefits of this education. A vast majority of people are caught in the wrong jobs because they were in it for the sake of job, money, lack of alternative and professional compromise whereas an individual pursuing Vocational Education is already pursuing his dream job.
• This type of education is a great asset to the economy. Our government need not import foreign technicians on higher wages as our own can do the required work. 
• Certain vocational skills acquired from Vocational Education teaches students the importance of manual work. The physical labour done under certain jobs makes them strong, healthy, active.
• Majority of Vocational Skills are applicable all over the world and these create employment opportunities in foreign countries.
• Technical programs develop the economy by bridging the demand and supply gap with highly skilled workers. It also gives students the opportunity to take marketable skills from the classroom directly into the working world.
• Better Vocational Education also attracts foreign investment and foreign exchange in form of foreign conglomerate and foreign students.
• School drop-outs and adults can also receive this type of education as it provides an opportunity to learn a skill or trade. There are many well-paid career fields in which a college degree is not required.
• Another benefit is that Hands-on work activities allow direct application of acquired knowledge.
• This education provides stable jobs as these are the jobs whose demand is never fulfilled.
• LEARN A SKILL AND YOU WONT REGRET IT.

The Music Therapy: Health Benefits and Effects - Miss Ezinne Ogechukwu Onyeneke

Music is a fundamental human attribute, popular among cultures and traditions. The historical origin of music dates back to time immemorial. Whether we are in tune or not, we sing and hum, often accompanied by dancing and bouncing.

As humans, the brain and nervous system is hard-wired to separate music from noise and to give responses to rhythm, tones, repetition and tunes. A wonder isn't it? Music enhances performance and human health.

According to research, blood flows faster when music is played. It also reduces heart rate, reduces stress hormone (cortisol) levels, lowers blood pressure and increases the level of endorphin and serotonin in the blood. This also goes a long way to elevate mood and boost production of dopamine hormone in the brain. The feeling one gets upon hearing a certain song is often second to none. It brings back memories of calm or happy moments. As humans, we have the ability to distinguish between music and noise. There are different pathways in our brains that process melody, tempo, rhythm and pitch of music. Fast music can increase heart rate, blood pressure and breathing, while softer, slower music does the opposite.

Studies have proven that when you hear music you like, the brain releases a chemical known as dopamine which affects the mood positively. Music also gives us feelings of strong emotions like joy, sadness, fear, that is to say it can move us. Some researchers have also linked music to being instrumental to improving our health and general well-being.

This goes beyond a doubt to say that music therapy should be used more often in the health care system. From solid evidence, it goes beyond a doubt to prove that music has numerous health benefits, and as such professionals are clamoring for more utilization of music therapy in the healthcare system.

Most health professionals are of the belief that music therapy can provide an alternative treatment option for certain health conditions like tension headaches.

Till date, there is still evidence, based on research that there's more to our connection with music than emotions. So next time you tune in to your favorite song, dance around a little, being safe and knowing that you're reaping some health benefits.

Effects of Music

On the mind:
● Leads to better learning
● Improves memory
● Help treat mental illness

On mood:
● Lowers anxiety
● Suppress symptoms of depression

On the body:
● Helps heart health
● Reduce fatigue
● Boost exercise movement

Improves mood: Research has proven that listening to music has great benefits on our general well-being as it regulates emotions, creates happiness and relaxation in our day to day life.

Reduces stress: Getting a feel of relaxing music reduces anxiety and stress in healthy people and those with underlying medical conditions e.g dental, surgery, colonoscopy.

Lessens anxiety: For people with cancer, standard care, in combination with good music helped to reduce anxiety when compared to those who got care alone.

Improves exercise: Music enhances aerobic exercise, physical and mental stimulation, and increases general performance.

Improves memory: According to research, the repetitive elements of melody and rhythm help our brains build patterns that boost memory. In stroke survivors, music helped improve their verbal memory, better focus and less confusion.

Eases pain: Patients recovering from surgery and listened to music, in the process of the surgery experienced less pain and more satisfaction than those who did not.

Provides comfort: Music therapy has helped enhance communication, expression of feelings like fear, anger, loneliness in patients with a severe illness.

Improves cognition: The benefits of music extends to improving the case of Alzheimer's as it helps recall memories and maintain mental abilities. Children with autism are not left out as the music therapy helped improve communication skills, social responses and attention skills.

Soothes premature babies: Lullabies help impact vital signs, improve sucking patterns and feeding behaviors in premature infants.

The takeaway:
Music gives off a powerful influence on us as human beings. It goes a long way to lighten mood, boost memory, relieve one of fatigue, carry out exercises, amongst other benefits. Having gone through these, let's harness the wealth of benefits we can gain from music and work towards being healthier individuals.

Stay Safe!

WHAT MAKES A GOOD CHORISTER - Uchenna Franklyn Okeh

The Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary defined a Chorister as a person who sings in the choir of a church. They can also be seen as singers who come together to share musical experience by learning  and also pray to God through singing. 

Choristers are disciplined people although some people have been known to call us "noise makers" and other deragatory attributes but I think those words come from people who have never been in a choir. 

The fact that Choristers know how to have good time is undubitable but there are certain guidelines that we follow so that we can be " Good Choristers" as well. 

WE LISTEN : Choristers must have excellent listening skills and use them often; we need to listen to our Music Director, onductor and our fellow Choristers in other to produce gorgeous harmonious  group and not a number of soloists battling it out for who can sing the loudest.  

WE LEARN : We take note of errors in our scores and however form a musical direction which may seem at the time it is given. Changes happen and we must roll with it by having our eraser handy.  We learn from these errors and attempt not to repeat them again. 

WE PRACTICE : No matter how great  a singer or Choristers are, practicing never hurts anybody and good Choristers do their best to be prepared by practicing on their own time. 

WE APPRECIATE  : We appreciate the beautiful music we get to sing, we appreciate our Music Directors and Conductors for leading us through it and we appreciate each other and the beauty that comes from our voices joining together to turn notes written on a page into a true performance. 

WE PERFORM : Not only does a good Chorister sing their hearts out but they look absolutely  thrilled doing it.   Choristers are performers and it is through our enthusiasm and understanding of a piece that we guide the audience to their own understanding and help them to appreciate the music we are singing.

Boosting your immune system - Chukwunonyerem Timothy Anyanwu

There is powerful evidence to support the strong role that nutrition plays towards our health - and what in life is more precious to us than our health, and that of our family! We must all do the maximum to build up and protect our health, especially in this challenging times of Global Covid-19 Pandemic. Together, our immune system provides biological, biochemical and even chemical weaponry to keep our body defended and to help it repair and recover from challenges. We need to improve our resilience as much as we can and optimum nutrition plays a powerful role here.

Our body is equipped with first-line defences such as our skin and the lining of our respiratory tract and digestive system. These are protective barriers that we call these our first-line defences and they contribute to what we know as our innate or built-in immunity. Thankfully, we also have many second-line defences which function inside our body. There are many team players that play a role in our second-line defences. White blood cells are very important immune cells. We have B-cells and T-cells, which talk to each other and have a variety of different jobs to do. These specialised cells also help orchestrate the recovery process of the body and provide us with memory cells which retain the ability to combat certain infectious agents if we encounter them again. This ability is known as our adaptive immunity. This all requires a lot of energy and nutrients!

Even though we have these first- and second-line defences, the body often gets damaged by illness or injury and the immune system is equipped to deal with this - to help the body repair itself and recover to get back to normal. 

Our immune system works together with processes of inflammation in the recovery process as well.

Inflammation is part of the immune response to potentially harmful agents, with the aim of neutralising and then repairing the damage. Immune cells receive signals and go to the site of damage. When everything works well, we could compare the immune system to a finely-tuned orchestra—all players work together in perfect harmony or synchrony and the conductor is a good one! But at times things can go wrong, and in these instances, it seems that our immune system is out of balance or not well-tuned anymore. At these times there can be persistent, or chronic, low-level inflammation. Lack of good quality nutrition as well as poor diet and lifestyle contribute directly to harmful chronic inflammation and cause the immune system to underperform.

The good news is that lifestyle factors such as high-quality nutrition, a healthy amount of sleep, exercise in moderation and stress management can all help our immune system perform at its best.

Supporting your Immune System

We know that a balance of all the key nutrients involved in human health are essential for optimum immune response. The way in which some nutrients benefit the immune system is only just beginning to be understood from the exciting field of "Immuno-nutrition."

*NeoLife Nutritionals: Supporting our Immune Health!*

Core Nutritionals: Balanced supply of all nutrients & quality protein

Immune cells are very active and have a need for a constant supply of energy as fuel. Immune cells also depend upon a constant blood glucose level and good glycaemic control. A product like *NeoLifeShake* can help provide steady energy at times of need and helps bring quality protein power to your immune system. High quality protein provides the building blocks so that the immune system can make more cells and produce antibodies and other defence substances. It’s important to provide your body with the right foundational nutrition programme every day, and the *Breakfast Pack, containing the NeoLifeShake and Pro Vitality*, is designed to do exactly that.

Pro Vitality contains 4 essential products that provide nutritional support:

*OMEGA-3’S AND OMEGA-3 SALMON OIL PLUS*

There are many good research papers demonstrating the key role of omega-3 fatty acids to our overall immune balance and capability. Our 8-week human study with Omega-3 Salmon Oil Plus demonstrated the ability to alter membrane composition of cells in a way which reduced the inflammatory index by up to a massive 68% in that short length of time.*

*TRE-EN-EN GRAIN CONCENTRATES*

This product provides a wide range of lipids (essential fats and sterols) from whole grains for building cell membranes which work at their best to help cells to be nourished, also allowing for good communication within cells and between cells. With respect to immune cell function it’s important to note that flexible and dynamic membranes are vital to the ability of the immune cells to move around the body to areas where they are needed, such as for example the site of infection or injury.

*CAROTENOIDS AND CAROTENOID* COMPLEX

Many, many research studies have shown that optimal levels of carotenoids in the diet are important to the proper functioning of our immune system. Studies of NeoLife Carotenoid Complex showed that *Carotenoid Complex dramatically increased both immune cell levels and overall immune cell response by up to 37% in just 20 days!*

*ESSENTIAL VITAMIN AND MINERAL COMPLEX IN MULTI*

Then with Multi you have a full spectrum of vitamins and minerals to add to the nutritional support for optimum immune balance and function. Of course, Pro Vitality and NeoLifeShake together provide a terrific combination to give us that basic foundational nutrition to support the immune system and improve our resilience to everything that life throws at us.

*Building Resilience & Recovery*

*PhytoDefence brings you support from 3 products in a convenient daily pack; _3 Carotenoid Complex, 2 Flavonoid Complex and 1 Cruciferous Plus_*, giving you the powerful phytonutrient protection of six optimal servings of fruit and vegetables. It combines carotenoids together with flavonoids (a kind of polyphenol) from fruit and vegetables as well as phytonutrients from cruciferous vegetables to support and boost immune function.

*Vitamin C Sustained Release* provides powerful time-release of vitamin C over 6 hours and delivers the power of 8 oranges in each tablet. It contains NeoLife’s Neo-Plex Concentrate, rich in whole-food bioflavonoids for additional immune support.

Chewable All-C is a delicious chewable cherry flavour vitamin C for both adults and children. It provides the vitamin C equivalent of 4 oranges. It also has NeoLife’s Neo-Plex Concentrate, plus rosehips and acerola cherries.

*Chelated Zinc* provides a unique high-purity and high-potency zinc as the amino acid chelate for improved bioavailability.* Zinc is a classical nutrient with many functions such as helping to build our DNA and protein and supporting our antioxidant enzyme functions. It helps reduce the severity and duration of common cold symptoms, and assists in healing, working in partnership with vitamin C.

Acidophilus Plus was formulated to provide 5 types of beneficial bacteria, guaranteeing over 5 billion active bacteria of Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Lactobacillus casei, Bifidobacterium bifidum, and Streptococcus thermophilus. These are protected against the acidity of the stomach by our proprietary Gel-Guard system and delivered to the sites in the intestine where they are needed. Research on these individual strains is emerging to show many effects to support overall immune function.

*Garlic Allium Complex* offers the multiple benefits from active allicin and other bioactive compounds. Part of the benefits of garlic include supporting a healthy immune response and normal cell growth and renewal. It's also a natural Anti-biotics.*

*Beta Guard* is a whole-food based antioxidant product to protect against environmental toxins. Formulated by one of the world’s leading toxicologists, Dr. Arthur Furst, Beta Guard contains a range of vitamins and minerals, designed to protect and support the body from environmental challenges.*

With this brief look at the workings of our immune system, we can see that our first- and second-line defences play an important role in protecting our body from harmful foreign substances. We need to ensure that our bodies are resilient to combat the many challenges it may face - we need optimal nutrition. A well-balanced diet together with additional support from NeoLife Nutritionals can help provide optimal levels of all nutrients, paving the way for your resilient journey!

Stay safe!

OPTIONS (Always have a Plan B) - Nkemakolam Raphael Ebiringa

Life is like a movie, you watch the first 30minutes, and you start to imagine and anticipate how it's going to end. 

It then brings me to the title of this article (Options). Growing up in this part of the world as kids, we always have dreams like, 'I want to be a doctor, lawyer, pilot, nurse and so on'. But how many of this dreams were really actualized? I guess a few. That brings me these questions: Could it be termed 'disappointments'? How do you move on from this scenario?

Yes!, though it could be seen as disappointing, in the sense that it's always disheartening when you fail to meet up with set goals but my own interest in this article is the next step taken after the disappointment. This I call 'creating options' i.e not relying on a particular goal to see you through in life especially in Africa. You can have a certain career option and still create other options, and you can see it as fortifying oneself more to face the realities of the society at large.

I will like to further explain with a little life experience of a friend of mine, as follows:

When Alex (not real name) was growing up, he always had this firm dream of becoming a medical doctor. He was so convinced with this dream till during his ss3 in secondary school when he started getting more fond and familiar with chemistry instead of biology, but even at that he still remained convinced of becoming a medical doctor. After three failed trials with JAMB, he had an offer to study Industrial Chemistry in the University which he chose because he was frustrated while at home. Alex was in 200 level in his university days and the rough days set in which prompted him to go into fashion and designing because he was convinced that he will strive in the business. Alex's life had a huge turn around when he lost his father in 300 level hence he has lost his only source of fund for his education. With the present condition, Alex hastened his learning process of fashion and designing, to help support him throughout his stay in the university and then, the two dreams of a certain young man started to collaborative with each other. Now for such a young man, he has due to the struggles of life created two very good options of a career for himself.

This story should teach every young adult the kind of mindset and life to emulate even we want to succeed especially in our milieu. Don't just sit back and wait for what the society has to offer you, rather equip yourself with that determination to always make a difference in any field you find yourself. I drew the title of this article from this my assertions inspired by the story above; creating options for yourself so as to make sure you win either ways.

 

I encourage you reading this article to always create options for yourself because no one knows where his or her salvation or road to success lies. Moreover, if the likes of successful business men like Dangote, Otedola and other business moguls could have varieties of businesses to there credit, then what is stopping us from creating options for ourselves?

ALWAYS DREAM BIG. Also remember that every second, minute, hour, day lived can never be retrieved in ones life. So always make it worth it. 

 

BE WISE AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, ALWAYS PRAY TO GOD FOR HIS GRACE AND DIRECTIONS.

 

Shalom!

What is Music? - Chimezie Immanuel Okehi

Music is an art form, and cultural activity, whose medium is sound. General definitions of music include common elements such as pitch (which governs melody and harmony), rhythm (and its associated concepts tempo, meter, and articulation), dynamics (loudness and softness), and the sonic qualities of timbre and texture (which are sometimes termed the "color" of a musical sound). Different styles or types of music may emphasize, de-emphasize or omit some of these elements. 

Music is performed with a vast range of instruments and vocal techniques ranging from singing to rapping; there are solely instrumental pieces, solely vocal pieces (such as songs without instrumental accompaniment) and pieces that combine singing and instruments. In its most general form, the activities describing music as an art form or cultural activity include the creation of works of music (songs, tunes, symphonies, and so on), the criticism of music, the study of the history of music, and the aesthetic examination of music. Ancient Greek and Indian philosophers defined music as tones ordered horizontally as melodies and vertically as harmonies. Common sayings such as "the harmony of the spheres" and "it is music to my ears" point to the notion that music is often ordered and pleasant to listen to. However, 20th-century composer John Cage thought that any sound can be music, saying, for example, "There is no noise, only sound."

The creation, performance, significance, and even the definition of music vary according to culture and social context. Indeed, throughout history, some new forms or styles of music have been criticized as "not being music", including Beethoven's Grosse Fuge string quartet in 1825, early jazz in the beginning of the 1900s and hardcore punk in the 1980s. There are many types of music, including popular music, traditional music, art music, music written for religious ceremonies and work songs such as chanteys. Music ranges from strictly organized compositions–such as Classical music symphonies from the 1700s and 1800s, through to spontaneously played improvisational music such as jazz, and avant-garde styles of chance-based contemporary music from the 20th and 21st centuries.

Music can be divided into genres (e.g.,country music) and genres can be further divided into subgenres (e.g., country blues and pop country are two of the many country subgenres), although the dividing lines and relationships between music genres are often subtle, sometimes open to personal interpretation, and occasionally controversial. For example, it can be hard to draw the line between some early 1980s hard rock andheavy metal. Within the arts, music may be classified as a performing art, a fine art or as an auditory art. Music may be played or sung and heard live at a rock concert or orchestra performance, heard live as part of a dramatic work (a music theater show or opera), or it may be recorded and listened to on a radio, MP3 player, CD player, smartphone or as film score or TV show.

In many cultures, music is an important part of people's way of life, as it plays a key role in religious rituals, rite of passage ceremonies (e.g., graduation and marriage), social activities (e.g., dancing) and cultural activities ranging from amateur karaoke singing to playing in an amateur funk band or singing in a community choir. People may make music as a hobby, like a teen playing cello in a youth orchestra, or work as a professional musician or singer. The music industry includes the individuals who create new songs and musical pieces (such as songwriters and composers), individuals who perform music (which include orchestra, jazz band and rock band musicians, singers and conductors), individuals who record music (music producers and sound engineers), individuals who organize concert tours, and individuals who sell recordings, sheet music, and scores to customers. Even once a song or piece has been performed, music critics, music journalists, and music scholars may assess and evaluate the piece and its performance.

Cultural Dance, does it matter? - Chimezie Henry Mmaduako

Culture is defined as our way of life

The tradition and norms which is important in every culture

can be represented in a way of dancing and this is what we called cultural dance.A graceful dance, colorful props and costumes, slow movements and fast that catches the attention of every people. Cultural dancers are story tellers, tells the story in every movements and sequence of their dance.

Every Cultural dance has a story that need to match in the theme of their dance.This dance is different from other forms of dances, you cannot make a cultural dance without a story. It has a story behind the dance for the purpose that one culture can share or tell their culture from one another.The art and appreciation of Cultural Dance. Is it really matter in this generation? Some people didn’t really appreciate the Cultural dance because of the instrumet,are you familiar with this instrument like agong, gandingan, kulintang, barel, tam tam, these are the example. Why don’t you try to dance, it is good and make you fell happy. Some of them today prefer the hip hop dance because of it’s music that make you move and dance

Cultural Dance is really important, this is our way to tell other people on the things that they need to know about our culture. It is also the way that other people could have respect, knowledge and give importance to our traditions and norms. Let other culture tell the story behind our dance.

BENEFITS OF CULTURAL DANCE

1.  INCREASED PHYSICAL STRENGTH

Perhaps the most obvious benefit of dancing is increased physical strength.  Dancing can be an enjoyable way to get your body moving and keep your heart racing.  Dancing is one of the few activities that offers a full body workout.  Dancing allows you to work your legs, core, and arms all at the same time.  Dancing provides a high-intensity, low-impact workout without the monotony of counting reps or doing sets.

 2.  INCREASED FLEXIBILITY

Another great physical benefit of dance is improved flexibility.  Dance enables you to move your body in ways that may not be typical in your day to day life.  This allows you to build your range of motion and give your muscles a good stretch.  Even if your dance program doesn’t start with a warm up stretch, you’ll most likely find that after a few classes you’re a little more limber than you were before.

3.  IMPROVED HEART AND LUNG HEALTH

Dance also improves your heart health and lung capacity.  Your heart rate and breathing rate both increase while dancing.  There are many long term health benefits to getting an extra cardiovascular workout.  Keeping your body active can help to keep yourself young and fight the aging process.

4.  IMPROVED BALANCE AND SPACIAL AWARENESS

Improved balance and spacial awareness can also be a byproduct of dancing.  Dancing requires a bodily awareness that helps to improve these skills.  Being more aware of our bodies can make us more aware of the ways our bodies move within a space.  The focus on good posture and core strengthening in dance can improve your balance.

5.  STRONGER BONES AND REDUCED RISK OF OSTEOPOROSIS

Dancing is one of the best ways you can prevent and even treat osteoporosis.  Weight bearing exercises, or forms of exercise that force your body to fight against gravity, have been shown to be effective ways of strengthening your bones.  The increase in strength and balance can also help to prevent falls and broken bones.

6.  IMPROVED MEMORY

The benefits of dance aren’t just physical.  Dancers also get a mental workout.  Remembering dance steps and patterns gives dancers a memory boost.  Focusing on different parts of the body simultaneously also gives dancers a mental challenge.  This mental workout helps the mind to stay sharp.

7.  INCREASED CONFIDENCE

One of the biggest benefits of dance is increased confidence.  Learning and mastering a new skill, in general, is great for your confidence.  It can give you a sense of accomplishment and pride.  Dance also has the added bonus of learning to move your body in beautiful new ways ways.

8.  REDUCED STRESS

Dancing can be a great stress reliever.  It reduces the levels of cortisol, also known as  the stress hormone, in your body while giving you an endorphin boost.  Many people leave dance class feeling almost elated.  Attending an evening dance class can be a great creative outlet and leave you feeling refreshed and ready for work the next day.

9.  SOCIAL CONNECTION

Another wonderful benefit of dance is an increased social connection.  Both solo and partner dance can be a great way to meet new people.  It can establish connections if you just moved or relocated.  Even if you’ve lived in the same place a while, dance can be a great way to meet people outside of your social circle.

10.  HIGHER RATES OF SUCCESS FOR GETTING IN SHAPE

Many people who join a dance class with the intent of getting in shape find that they have higher success rates than those who just hit the gym.  Part of this may be the network of other dancers you connect with when you dance, and another part could just be pure fun.
