Leverage: The Hidden Force Behind Extraordinary Success By: Kuti Solomon Suleman  In a world that often celebrates hard work and intelligence as the ultimate keys to success, renowned minister and teacher, Pastor Emmanuel Iren, believes there is an even more powerful factor that determines how far a person can go in life. According to him, the greatest secret to success is not merely hard work or smart work, but leverage . Drawing inspiration from the famous words of Greek mathematician Archimedes, who once declared, "Give me a place to stand and a lever long enough, and I shall move the earth," Pastor Iren argues that access, relationships, and strategic positioning often create opportunities that effort alone cannot provide. To illustrate his point, he presents a simple scenario: two equally qualified individuals apply for the same job. Both possess similar talents, education, and social skills. However, one of them has a personal connection to a member of...

By Pallab Ghosh (BBC) Science correspondent Scientists have made a key discovery about antimatter - a mysterious substance which was plentiful when the Universe began. Antimatter is the opposite of matter, from which stars and planets are made. Both were created in equal amounts in the Big Bang which formed our Universe. While matter is everywhere, though, its opposite is now fiendishly hard to find. The latest study has discovered the two respond to gravity in the same way. For years, physicists have been scrambling to discover their differences and similarities, to explain how the Universe arose. Discovering that antimatter rose in response to gravity, instead of falling would have blown apart what we know about physics. They've now confirmed for the first time that atoms of antimatter fall downwards. But far from being a scientific dead end this opens the doors to new experiments and theories. Does it fall at the same speed, for example? During the Big Bang, matter a...
