Waterproof Tough Camera

The Nikon W300 is the best esteem in light of its adaptability. Its focal point has the vastest perspective of the cameras we tried, covers a 5x zoom range, and lets in the more light than every one of its rivals. Its still pictures have practical hues and loads of detail when shooting in full-auto mode and the camera is equipped for catching 4K video. We likewise like that you can send shots to your cell phone through Wi-Fi to share via web-based networking media. The camera makes due down to 100 feet submerged, is shockproof up to 8 feet, and is freezeproof down to 14 degrees Fahrenheit. Olympus' TG-5 doesn't dive as deep submerged as the Nikon (just 50 feet, contrasted with 100 feet), has a less flexible 4x long range focal point contrasted with the Nikon's 5x focal point, and is fundamentally more costly than the Nikon.

WAEC: How 2017 May/June WASSCE results will affect university cut-off mark, admission


This year, students seeking admission into Nigerian universities, will be judged based on their WASSCE results and Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) scores.

The Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu, abolished post-UTME as a means of admitting candidates into tertiary institutions in 2016.

Ever since then, Universities will be required to admit students by screening and awarding marks to their WASSCE results and JAMB scores.

The breakdown shows that when a candidate submits his/her O’Level result for screening, five O’Level subjects relating to his proposed programme of study will be examined.

Marks will then be awarded based on what he scored in WASSCE.

Hence, A1 is awarded 8%, B2-7%, B3-6%, C4-5%, C5-4% and C6-3%. Total marks for anyone with five A1s is 40 per cent. What this means is that if a candidate has five ‘A1s’, he has gotten a maximum 40 per cent. A student with five B2s, would score 35 per cent. Five B3s, 30 per cent; five C4s, gets 25 per cent; five C5s, 20 per cent and five C6s would score just 15 per cent.

Higher institutions have also graded UTME’s scores into percentages. If a UTME candidate has 180 to 189, he is assumed to have scored 10 per cent. If he scored between 190 and 199, he gets 20 per cent. For those who scored between 200 and 209, they have 30 per cent while someone who scored between 210 and 219 gets 40 per cent. Those who scored between 220 and 229, earn 50 per cent and a student with 230 and above gets the maximum 60 per cent.

All these imply that a candidate with five A1s in WASSCE who also scored 230 and above in UTME is certain to be admitted because he has 40 per cent in WASSCE and 60 per cent in UTME.
